Family Cohesion in the Lives of Mexican American and European American Parents
Department of 4-H, Youth Development and Family and Consumer Sciences, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC 27695-7605 (email@example.com).
This study investigated similarities and differences in relations between stress and parenting behaviors for 509 Mexican American and European American fathers and mothers in Southern California. Our model posited that family cohesion mediates the relation between stressors and parenting behavior, and we found that family cohesion strongly mediated most of the relations between stress and parenting behaviors. Important ethnic and gender differences were evident. In contrast with other groups, Mexican American fathers reported higher levels of family cohesion when faced with economic pressures. Implications for future research on stress and parenting are discussed.

National Geographic Giant Traveling Map of Colorado
The Giant Map of Colorado, an oversized vinyl floor map (14' x 21'), is designed to encourage geographic learning through physical movement and games, teaching place names, physical geography, and cultural geography as well as map reading skills. Based on the national giant traveling map program featuring continents and the Pacific Ocean, National Geographic created a giant map of each state to travel to schools, libraries, and museums. For information about how to reserve the map for a visit to your school or district, check out this flyer, and email COGA with any additional questions!
National Geographic Giant Traveling Maps
National Geographic Giant Traveling Maps are enormously entertaining and educationally powerful tools for introducing geography and map reading skills to students, grades K-8. What better way to teach young people the power of maps and the limitless depth of geography than a basketball court-sized map of a continent on which they can explore, travel from country to country, hop around, compete, collaborate and have lots of fun?
National Geographic's Giant Traveling Maps, produced by National Geographic Live, tour the country's schools, bringing hands- and feet-on geography education to hundreds of thousands students each year. Designed to promote geographic literacy by igniting interest in geography, the maps and accompanying activities incorporate physical movement and games to teach students place names, physical geography, and cultural geography as well as map reading skills.
These floor maps of Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, South America, and the Pacific Ocean are available for rent, each accompanied by a complete teacher guide, activities, game props, and educational resources. (Text courtesy of National Geographic)
The Colorado Geographic Alliance has grant funding available to help pay for rentals of these giant maps. The request form can be found here.
In most cases several schools and libraries within a district will look to host a map during the rental period, allowing a broad range of students and educators to benefit from the map. A sample district schedule can be found here, showing how the map may be utilized by multiple educators.
Colorado schools have hosted several different giant maps. To see pictures or media coverage of these map visits, check out the links below.
In October of 2013, the Colorado Geographic Alliance brought the Giant Map of the Pacific to four schools throughout Colorado: Queen Palmer Elementary School, the Cool Science Festival hosted at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs, Windsor Middle School, and Vail Mountain School.

NEW YORK (AP) — After a confidential two-year review, the Boy Scouts of America on Tuesday emphatically reaffirmed its policy of excluding gays, angering critics who hoped that relentless protest campaigns might lead to change.
The Scouts cited support from parents as a key reason for keeping the policy and expressed hope that the prolonged debate over it might now subside. Bitter reactions from gay-rights activists suggested that result was unlikely.
The Scouts' national spokesman, Deron Smith, told The Associated Press that an 11-member special committee, formed discreetly by top Scout leaders in 2010, came to the conclusion that the exclusion policy "is absolutely the best policy" for the 102-year-old organization.
Smith said the committee, comprised of professional scout executives and adult volunteers, was unanimous in its conclusion — preserving a long-standing policy that was upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2000 and has remained controversial ever since.
As a result of the committee's decision, the Scouts' national executive board will take no further action on a resolution submitted at its recent national conference asking for reconsideration of the membership policy.
The Scouts' chief executive, Bob Mazzuca, contended that most Scout families support the policy, which applies to both adult leaders and Scouts.
"The vast majority of the parents of youth we serve value their right to address issues of same-sex orientation within their family, with spiritual advisers and at the appropriate time and in the right setting," Mazzuca said. "We fully understand that no single policy will accommodate the many diverse views among our membership or society."
The president of the largest U.S. gay-rights group, Chad Griffin of the Human Rights Campaign, depicted the Scouts' decision as "a missed opportunity of colossal proportions."
"With the country moving toward inclusion, the leaders of the Boy Scouts of America have instead sent a message to young people that only some of them are valued," he said. "They've chosen to teach division and intolerance."
Darlene Nipper, deputy executive director of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, said the Scouts "have turned their backs on a chance to demonstrate fairness, exercise sound judgment, and serve as a role model for valuing others."
The Scouts did not identify the members of the special committee that studied the issue, but said in a statement that they represented "a diversity of perspectives and opinions."
"The review included forthright and candid conversation and extensive research and evaluations — both from within Scouting and from outside of the organization," the statement said.
The announcement suggests that hurdles may be high for a couple of members of the national executive board — Ernst & Young CEO James Turley and AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson — who have recently indicated they would try to work from within to change the membership policy. Both of their companies have been commended by gay-rights groups for gay-friendly employment policies.
Stephenson is on track to become president of the Scouts' national board in 2014, and will likely face continued pressure from gay-rights groups to try to end the exclusion policy. Asked for comment on Tuesday about the Scouts' decision to keep the policy, AT&T did not refer to Stephenson's situation specifically.
"We don't agree with every policy of every organization we support, nor would we expect them to agree with us on everything," the company said. "Our belief is that change at any organization must come from within to be successful and sustainable."
A statement from the executive committee of the Scouts' national executive board alluded to the Turley-Stephenson developments.
"Scouting believes that good people can personally disagree on this topic and still work together to achieve the life-changing benefits to youth through Scouting," the statement said. "While not all board members may personally agree with this policy, and may choose a different direction for their own organizations, BSA leadership agrees this is the best policy for the organization."
Since 2000, the Boy Scouts have been targeted with numerous protest campaigns and run afoul of some local nondiscrimination laws because of the membership policy.
One ongoing protest campaign involves Jennifer Tyrrell, the Ohio mother of a 7-year-old Cub Scout who was ousted as a den mother because she is lesbian.
Change.org, an online forum supporting activist causes, says more than 300,000 people have signed its petition urging the Scouts to reinstate Tyrrell and abandon the exclusion policy. The petition is to be delivered to the Scouts' national headquarters in Irving, Texas, on Wednesday.
Eagle Scout Zach Wahls, an Iowa college student who was raised by lesbian mothers, said Tuesday's announcement didn't change his view that eventually the Scouts would relent under pressure from campaigns such as those that he and his allies have mounted.
"I'm sure they'll keep saying this until the day they decide to change the policy," said Wahls.
He contended that the committee review process should not have been kept secret. "The very first value of the Scout Law is that a Scout is trustworthy," Wahls said. "There is absolutely nothing trustworthy about unelected and unnamed committee members who are unwilling to take responsibility for their actions."
The Boy Scouts' policy stands in contrast to inclusive membership policies adopted by several other major youth organizations, including the Girl Scouts of the USA and Camp Fire.

3 thoughts on "Despite Protests, Boy Scouts Reaffirm Ban on Gays"
Why should the Boy Scouts change their rules just to let gays in? If it's really that important why don't the gays start their own group? I would not want my son taken on camping outings by someone who has admitted he has a thing for men/boys. We call them sexual predators
As long as you show the same 'respect' for an organization that won't 'change their rules' to allow women or ethnic minorities in. Some people may not want their kids camping with black or Asian or Latino kids…
What effect does it have on African Americas? Economical ? Jobs? Education?
Please help me understand what purpose this article serves to empower African Americans.

Pie in the Sky
Now obviously, the best thing in the world is eating pie. Throwing pies? That's fun, too. But for those of you out there who fancy yourselves homegrown experts on the making of pies man, do we have an event for you.
In keeping with its efforts at turning downtown Lakewood into some sort of Ray Bradbury-style urban Green Town, Belmar will now hold pie-baking contests. These fruit-pie showdowns are scheduled to run on the first Sunday of every month, in concert with the Market at Belmar, and will feature a different seasonal pie each go-round. Today is the inaugural competition and requires that contestants bake either a strawberry or rhubarb pie. July brings cherry, August peach (cobblers only, please), and in September, apples will be the chosen ingredient.
Interested? Of course you are, Betty Crocker! So here's how this works. Assemble and bake off your pie, then bring it to the chef demonstration tent on West Alaska Drive in Belmar at noon. There it will be poked at, tasted, sampled and judged by those passing through the market. The crowd favorite wins a blue ribbon (natch), a $20 gift certificate good among the vendors hawking their wares at the Market at Belmar, and bragging rights at the next quilting bee, church picnic or box social.
For more information, call 303-742-1520 or check out the "Events & Culture" page at www.belmarcolorado.com.
Sundays, 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Starts: June 1. Continues through Sept. 28, 2008

Glitz and glamour, greed and sleaze, fall and redemption. It's all happening on the Gold Coast.
Icarus is a penthouse salesman on the Gold Coast. In his early thirties and at the top of his profession, he revels in the trappings of his success: the luxury apartment at Parthenon Place overlooking the endless rolling surf, the red Mustang convertible, the gorgeous beautician girlfriend. His life couldn't be more perfect - or could it?
This is the story of the rise and fall and redemption of a modern-day Icarus, and is the final word on that strangely unsettling and gloriously tacky place we call the Gold Coast.
Matt Condon's reputation as one of our most original and talented writers was set once and for all with the publication of this novel.
