It can take all of your powers of persuasion to get your little prince to take his rightful throne. Framing potty-training as a ti...me of accomplishment and independence is the best way to get it done, and the Prince of the Potty book by Innovative Kids does a great job teaching kids how to use the potty in a way that's both playful and fun. The Prince of the Potty book uses simple language that isn't too babyish to tell the story of a proud little prince and his newly-acquired bathroom habits. We especially appreciated how the little boy in the book is depicted as the prime mover of his own story - he decides to take on the challenge of the potty, with the help of his royal parents. Writer Nora Gaydos is an elementary school teacher with tremendous expertise in pre-reading skills, so this book is also tailored to lead your child towards learning to read.

Prisca Martens's most powerful teacher has been her daughter Sarah. When Sarah at age four responded "I already know how to rea...d" to the suggestion that this was something she would learn in kindergarten, Martens realized children's perceptions of literacy and of themselves as learners may differ from those of adults. Over the three years Martens observed and analyzed Sarah's reading and writing (ages two through five), Sarah helped Martens rethink her notions about literacy: what literacy is, how children learn literacy, and as Sarah entered kindergarten, what teachers can do to support and facilitate that learning in school.

In I Already Know How to Read Martens documents how Sarah, through meaningful literacy experiences in her social community, understood literacy and invented reading and writing for herself. Numerous reading and writing samples, organized around broad research questions, present Sarah as an inquirer who actively constructs her understanding of literacy and ways to be literate.

Martens recognizes that children's opportunities and experiences with print differ. But by looking closely at one child's literacy development, we learn how to see and understand the literacy development of others. The implications for the classroom are extraordinary-as Sarah taught her mother to see, her story will help practicing and preservice teachers to see as well.

In "Christopher Dragon Shopping with Friends" (The Tales of Christopher Dragon, Book 2)� Christopher Dragon and... his new friends prove that love and friendship can exist regardless of color, size, and different lifestyles. This second book in Mary Kagan Draper's wonderful bedtime rhyming children's series continues the author's imaginative and adventurous development of this soon to be classic friendly dragon.� The author's talent nicely combines with the award winning illustrator's magnificent illustrations so children can follow the story beautifully. �Christopher is brightly colored with shiny green and red hair and belly with purple wings.
 ����� The author transitioned Christopher Dragon from a time of knights so bold in the days of old, to modern times with a bedtime rhyming tale in Tales of Christopher Dragon Book 1. In this second book in the series, his new friends continue to prove that love and friendship can exist regardless of color, size, and different lifestyles. The children take Christopher Dragon, a new librarian in their grade school, to the mall to go shopping for jeans and other things that will help this kind new friend adjust to his new world. His magical size does not prevent the children from helping him adjust to his new surroundings.� He takes the children to a toy store and buys them a kite.� Of course they want to fly the kite right away and they head to an adventure in the park.� After Christopher Dragon rescues the kite, they return to the mall for a hamburger. Stove burner trouble ensues and Christopher saves the day with fire from his snout.� A stop for ice cream will top the day.
 ����� Award winning VPK teacher and award winning illustrator have teamed up to create this delightful bedtime rhyming tale that teaches good values.� Dragon stories in verse can be awkward at times - but not in this dragon fairy tales series. Smooth flowing verse, combined with the beautiful illustrations, will keep your child's attention and enhance vocabulary and other oral language skills by association. With adult encouragement, the rhyme will help your child build a vocabulary of words that rhyme and have similar sounds. �The Christopher Dragon series of books teach the values of friendship such as sharing, planning activities together, bonding and accepting other's differences.
 ���� An editorial review by Jack Magnus for Readers' Favorite had this to say about this dragon fairy tale:� Mary Kagan Draper's children's book, "Christopher Dragon Shopping with Friends"� (The Tales of Christopher Dragon - Book 2) is imaginative and entertaining. Christopher is also a great role model for children. They learn that being different is okay, and that everyone has unique skills and gifts that make them special." Jack Magnus also said, Patti Brassard Jefferson's illustrations are bold, with bright colors and a fluid comic book style that will tempt artistic children to try their own hands at drawing Christopher and his friends. This is a great book for kids to read on their own or with an adult, and everyone will have a grand time reading about this very personable dragon. Mary Kagan Draper's children's book, Christopher Dragon Shopping with Friends: The Tales of Christopher Dragon Book 2 is highly recommended.� FIVE STARS

Along the way, their lifelong friendship is tested, adolescent crushes develop, new friendships are formed and a buried treasure changes their lives forever. Preston and Gage each have a younger brother, Brandon Matthews and Zach Warner, both eight. The wallet they find sends all four boys and their parents on a month long, all expenses paid trip to Okinawa, Japan. There, they meet a military family that takes them on an adventure around the island while experiencing the life of military families. While on a guided tour, the kids wander off and discover a map which ultimately leads them to treasure. Through their search for the missing pieces of the key, the kids struggle with jealousy, coming of age crushes and the realization that friendships are what make you truly wealthy. My real name is Kim Kattawar Mahfouz. (I am using Kim Katt as my Pen name.) I am a proud wife of a now retired United States Marine. We were stationed on Okinawa for six years and while this book is fiction, most of the places I used for the kids adventure are actual places on Okinawa. In the beginning, I started writing this book for my own children but as the story unfolded and developed, I realized that a book written about military children and the adventures and lifestyles they live everyday, could be informational and entertaining whether it is read by military or civilian children.

This helps correct speech problems of the 'r' sound not only at the beginning of a word, but in the middle and at the end as well. At the end of the story of Richard and Rosco there are several activity pages to encourage further awareness of the 'r' sound in spelling and reading. Speech therapists, parents and teachers all agree, Richard and Rosco is a delightful and 'must have' addition to any home or professional library. Read More

With no fewer than 40 sets of almost identical pictures, this ?Spot The Difference? book provides hours of fun for kids of all ...ages. It is however best suited to kids over the age of 6.

Each set of pictures contains 10 differences, and finding them helps your child to develop a range of skills including observation, attention and concentration, as well as providing an excellent way to improve the memory.

On the first page for each set of puzzles the two pictures will be shown, one on top of the other. Look carefully at both pictures and mark the differences by adding a light pencil ring to the lower picture to show where each of the 10 differences appears. One you have found all 10 differences, turn over the page and check your answers.

By carefully marking the differences lightly and in pencil, you can erase your rings when you are finished, so that someone else can try the puzzle. You can also of course come back and complete the book yourself again at a later date.

The pictures in this book are in black and white, and the differences between the pictures in each set are not dependent on color. However, if you would like to try these puzzles in full color, then why not pick up the Kindle edition of the book. As long as you have purchased this print version of the book through Amazon.com, you can buy the Kindle version for FREE

Readers' Favorite: Book Reviews and Award Contest /Mamta Madhavan 5/5 review!"Supernatural Hero (Action & Adventure) (Comics & Gra...phic Novels) by Eran Gadot is a story that children can relate to easily. Andy is the typical nerd you will come across in your class. He is in grade six, skinny, wears glasses, and then falls in love with Zoe, the prettiest girl in his class. The twist in the story happens when Andy's grandfather dies and turns into a ghost. Now Andy has the power of seeing ghosts and communicating with them. He decides to use that power to the fullest. The paranormal activities make Andy a supernatural hero and the book is about the transformation of nerd Andy into a supernatural hero. It is a very entertaining theme where one can relate to Andy and his nerdy behavior, which sees him being the butt of many jokes in class. The transformation of this nerdy boy is done very well and the change is fluid. It is the type of story that kids will find fascinating. The black and white sketches are beautiful and they give an individuality to the characters and the scenes. The manner in which Andy handles the situations in his life is noteworthy. The theme covers everything that is part of a child's life: parents, school, friends, bullies, pretty girl, and much more. It is an entertaining read with a relatable character and exciting adventures that make it a fast paced story. Now from the nerd that he was, will this supernatural hero get the girl?" Read More

FLIP ALONG FUN is an award-winning, interactive, colorfully illustrated children's ...storybook that teaches 8 basic skills while providing hours of fun.

This whimsical mix-and-match board book for children ages 2 to 6 won the coveted Mom's Choice Award, which recognizes the best among family-friendly products. It has received enthusiastic praise from parents, grandparents, educators, psychologists, and pediatricians.

Children adore creating their own animal stories by selecting story panels. To begin the storytelling, the child randomly chooses one of the nine panels in each of the first two sections. The child then completes the story by finding the one panel from the nine in the third section that contains all of the animals pictured in the first two.

For example, to learn what happened when 3 pink pigs dancing jolly jigs (panel 1) saw 2 yellow cats in very funny hats (panel 2), the child looks for the one matching panel (panel 3) that contains 3 pigs and 2 cats. And there's the answer: They all 5 had a laugh while they sat in the bath! When the animal illustrations match up, the numbers add up!

FLIP ALONG FUN is a valuable educational tool that parents and teachers can use to
- Teach matching and counting.
- Introduce rhymes.
- Identify colors and animals.
- Demonstrate sentence structure.
- Stimulate creativity.
- Promote logical thinking.

Parents, grandparents, and caregivers praise FLIP ALONG FUN because it presents a variety of storyline possibilities that keep children entertained and learning for hours. The book's sturdy, laminated construction ensures years of enjoyment.

FLIP ALONG FUN appeals to daycare, preschool, kindergarten, and special education teachers because it develops creativity, while conveying important educational concepts in a fun context. Its large size (9 X 12 ) makes it ideal for group settings, one-on-one interactions, or independent play.

FLIP ALONG FUN is a stand-out educational storybook that will entertain children throughout their important early developmental years. Perfect for home, school, and while traveling, this book amuses and delights, while helping to develop important skills. Read More

 ? Of the estimated 20 million 7- to 11-year old children in the United States (2000-2010 census), 60,000 have confirmed cases of Lyme disease (cdc.gov). The CDC estimates the incidence rate is 20 times that number due to several factors.

 No Child Left Behind and accountability programs generally operate via assessment-driven instruction causing a de-professi...onalization of teachers and a disengagement of students. Chris Gallagher offers us an alternative: instruction-driven assessment with teachers as the primary assessment instrument. It looks like a way to restore teachers as professionals and to restore students as engaged learners . . . and it looks doable.
 - Gerald W. Bracey, author of Reading Educational Research: How to Avoid Getting Statistically Snookered

 This is the most engaging, exciting, and useful book on assessment I have read in a long time. Chris Gallagher draws on the rich experiences of Nebraska educators to show why and how that state's teachers are leading a profoundly important assessment revolution.
 - Monty Neill, Executive Director, FairTest (National Center for Fair & Open Testing)
 Reclaiming Assessment details a more humane, more educationally sound way to conduct assessments than what is called for in national and state test-based accountability policies. It examines how Nebraska rejected harmful, high-stakes testing in favor of teacher-designed assessments through a groundbreaking local-control assessment system. Presenting vital conceptual details and practical information for any state, district, or school committed to finding something better for their students than filling ovals, Chris Gallagher focuses in on what makes Nebraska's plan work and how it can transform and has transformed classrooms and policies. In particular he homes in on four key aspects of successful teacher-led assessment:

engaging teachers by reinvesting them with classroom- and curricular-level decision-making power

engaging students through meaningful classroom assessment

engaging colleagues through a new, energizing model of professional development

engaging parents and other community members through school-community projects.

 In each instance, Gallagher combines lessons from Nebraska's school-improvement program with "portraits of practice," vignettes written by Nebraska educators that give a close-up look at how the state's assessment system works, why it works, the settings in which it's making a difference, and the leadership styles that match its goals best.

 Both a challenge to educators to take back assessment from politicized, top-level bureaucrats and a call to create a new agenda for contemporary education, Reclaiming Assessment is an ideal starting point for your efforts to return to student-centered, not test-centered assessment. Put your trust in educators' abilities to observe and know their students, then read Reclaiming Assessment, adopt an assessment model that's already succeeding in hundreds of schools, and start improving how your students are assessed today.

Everything you ever wanted to know about Santa, as told to the author of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs by the big gu...y himself.

As you might imagine, the early life of Santa Claus was a liiiiiiiittle different from the childhood of your average kid. His first words were ?ho ho ho!? By five he was wearing a fake beard and mustache, and could rarely be found without his favorite stuffed reindeer. It was clear from a very young age that he was destined to be unique...

Despite this, his parents went to great lengths to maintain normalcy in his life. They had him learn guitar (he was in a rock band!), and play baseball (he had quite an arm), and even do chores (okay?here he was like any other kid on earth?he hated chores). But there was no stopping Santa from being Santa, and one winter, he began to make his lists. He checked them twice, and delivered toys to children all over Cincinnati. Then, all over Ohio. Then?the world.

Compiled from his baby book, family photos, and report cards, Santa from Cincinnati provides a full-spectrum view of the boy who grew to be the man who grew to be Santa. Read More

US: Pennsylvania attorney general says she won't defend state ban on equal marriage
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
" Pennsylvania law prohibits marriage between individuals of the same sex, although the state does not have a constitutional amendment banning such unions."
source: equalityontrial.com
PN please correct para 6
What idiot thumbed this down, there is no state constitutional amendment in Pennsylvania it is a state law passed by the state legislator similar to Hawaii and a couple of other States in the USA. There is no DOMA constitutional ammendment in Pennsylvania it is a simple law banning recognition of same sex marriages. AG Kathleen Kane should be commended for upholding her oath in not defending a Pennsylvania law in Federal Court which is regarded as being against the US 14th Amendment. She is one of a few women state AG who have recently refused to defended anti-gay laws in court.
Pink News reporting is not always proof or accuracy checked, sadly.
D.O.M.A. specifically Section 3. Definition of marriage being found to be unconstitutional by the Supreme Court not directly but indirectly was suppose to threaten states who have Bans on equal marriage to quiver in their boots, Which now it has. Thank God !! About 31 states have bans, but SCOTUS voting to say marriage is not between only a man and a women makes states who have their own states ban also seem unconstitutional. So i know PinkNews is focusing on 1 state but already 9 states are fighting the ban after the defeat of DOMA and by years end every state will be reviewing their next move or then a state will take the issue of 1 state to SCOTUS and then SCOTUS will vote for the hole country.
The main decision of SCOTUS was quite clear: It won't decide whether same sex marriage is constitutional or not. It definitely said with Prop 8 and DOMA that the defining of legal marriages belongs to the states (especially the swing vote Kennedy based his opinion on this).
"Definition of marriage being found to be unconstitutional by the Supreme Court…"
Not quite accurate. The Supreme Court ruled that TREATING one smaller group of legally-married couples differently from a larger group of legally-married couples — in DOMA's case, ignoring them altogether. It ruled that the federal government could not redefine to its own liking what several states defined as marriage. True, many marriage equality will be basing a lot of their future cases using this ruling, it did not carte blanche say that the one man-one woman definition of marriage was unconstitutional.

First off - I'm rather novice at Java so if the question makes no sense do let me know.
Basically I'm making an Android app which communicates with my web service and so I've made a separate class to deal with the communication, which also includes the AsyncTask (I've removed a lot from the code here just for preview):
public class api {
private String caller = null;
Context that = null;
api(Context that) {
this.that = that;
this.caller = that.getClass().getSimpleName();
void call(String action) {
/* .... */
new back().execute(param1, param2);
void callback(String action, String result){
that.callback(action, result);
public class back extends AsyncTask<String, Void, String> {
public String response = null;
protected String doInBackground(String... params) {
response = connection.executeRequest(params[1]);
return response;
protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
callback("a", "b");
And when I use the class from some part of the app (let's say SomeClass.class), I do:
api WS = new api(this);
And it's supposed to execute the function 'callback' which is in SomeClass. But the key problem here is this line:
that.callback(action, result);
Eclipse makes me add the name of the "caller" class in the cast:
(SomeClass) that.callback(action, result);
But that doesn't work for me, because I use the 'api' class from many different classes, so ideally I need to put a variable in the cast. I do get the name of the "caller" class here:
this.caller = that.getClass().getSimpleName();
//obviously this won't work:
(this.caller) that.callback(action, result);
Is there anyway to do that, or am I doing something fundamentally wrong?
Thank you.

CALEDONIA -- Jeff Doty was careful to preface his case to reopen Cal-City Grocery with a simple and to-the-point statement.

Selfies, followers, likes and the fascination with celebrity anythings (chefs, decorators, stylists, authors, etc.) are just a few of the ways that today's society focuses attention on individuals. It's not enough to be a great chef - it's better to be a celebrity chef. It's not enough to participate in an event - it's better to snap a selfie of yourself at the event and then post it online for all to see.
During the early years of the Reagan administration, a Washington news conference was held for me for my first book, "The State Against Blacks." Before making summary statements about the book, I offered the reporters assembled that they could treat me like a white person. They could ask me hard, pressing questions. They could demand proof of the arguments that I was making.
"The difference between Bush's mistakes and his disappointments may just be that he hasn't yet taken ownership of the latter," Massimo Calabresi wrote in Time as he covered President George W. Bush's final press conference in January of 2009. Four years earlier, left-wing journalist John Dickerson had begun a trend among the Bush White House press corps, demanding from the president a recognition of his mistakes.
Political reporters seem to enjoy the game of politics far more than the substance of issues. But recent Supreme Court rulings on the president's health care law, campaign finance reform and other topics may force a fundamental issue into the 2016 election. Upcoming rulings on same-sex marriage, immigration and another health care case will add fuel to the fire.
I have been trying to figure out what to do with my free time now that I have decided not to run for President of the United States (or what's left of it.) Some of you wrote and asked me to reconsider my decision. I am humbled by your pledges of support but I don't want to broach the subject again with the Woman Who Shares My Name. She has access to a lot of broccoli and says she know where she can get more. I had best leave that alone.
Occasionally, I wonder whether I'm alone in some of my wonderings. Look at the claim that conservatives or Republicans have launched a war on women as a part of their overall mean-spirited agenda. In the case of mistreatment of women - or of anyone else - assault, rape and murder are about as horrible as it gets. But I would be willing to bet a lot of money that most of the assaults, rapes and murders of women are done by people who identify as liberals or Democrats, particularly in the cases of murderers. Most crime, except perhaps white-collar crime, is ...
Dear Public School Teachers in Georgia:
A surreal moment passed for me this week with several press reports about presidential candidates heading to Atlanta in August this year. Six years ago in Atlanta, a group of online political activists got together in person. They had been online collaborators among the Republican grassroots for six years without ever having met face to face.
It's mid-May and time for celebrating graduations. It's a time to look back on accomplishments and, more importantly, to look forward to new phases and opportunities in life.
American government - at all levels - is losing the legitimacy it needs to function. Or, perhaps, some segments of the government have already lost it.
Last week in Garland, Texas, a lady named Pamela Geller sponsored an event about Islam, a component of which included drawing cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed. While Muslims in prior centuries painted Mohammed and some Muslims still think it is OK to draw Mohammed, most Muslims around the world condemn the drawing of any image purporting to be the likeness of Mohammed.
Before we examine the issue of police shootings of blacks, I would like to start the conversation with another question. Here it is: If a person chooses to stand on railroad tracks in the face of an oncoming train, who is responsible for his being run over? And if many people meet their maker this way, what would you recommend as the best way to reduce such deaths? Would you focus most of your efforts on train engineers, or would you counsel people not to stand on railroad tracks in the face of an oncoming train?
It's something that happens all the time and to each of us. We've got a momentous decision to make, or even a small one, and the way isn't clear. There's as much to recommend one course of action as the other, but nevertheless, we've got to choose.. So what do most of us do? We start looking - praying - for a sign, some little nudge to go one way or the other.
A coworker at The Covington News was a little puzzled about a project her son was assigned in preschool. She assisted as he completed the project. The key word there is assisted. When she and her son arrived at school with the project, she was chagrined to find that other parents had not only assisted, but had made great productions of their children's projects, and the children arrived with professional looking exhibits. She was proud that her son had done his own work but felt that she had somehow failed as a parent as her son's project didn ...
WASHINGTON - Republicans and Democrats are being equally nasty in their campaign rhetoric, but they're not being equally truthful. To cite one example, much of what the GOP is saying about Medicare simply isn't supported by the facts.
The daily operations and management of our county are controlled by county regulations, procedures and codes as well as state laws and regulations. These rules and regulations are necessary to the responsible, fair and controlled management of our county. Of course, without the enforcement of these provisions there is anarchy and corruption. The duly elected officers who manage the county in various positions all take an oath of office, sworn to God, to uphold those governing regulations, codes and laws.
Forget conservatism versus liberalism, capitalism against socialism, or even Democrats fighting Republicans. In picking Paul Ryan as his vice presidential running mate, Mitt Romney has drawn a new battle line. Throughout his political career, Paul Ryan has been an outspoken crusader in what he calls the "fight between individualism and collectivism."
It's a fact: If you have an opinion, you can be sure someone will have an argument to match it. And a good argument is nothing to be afraid of. A good argument is a logical analysis of differing opinions. It's called a debate.
We are less than three months out from the presidential election. Yes, I know that it seems as if it has already lasted forever, but so far, it's simply been the warm-up.
I have a fire hydrant in my yard. Not a working one next to the street, but a non-working one about 20 feet from the street next to my drive way. It is a real fire hydrant, just not a working one. It is the outside of a fire hydrant.
The metal, rather utilitarian, hulk that you see dogs eyeing in comic strips. But it has no insides and is not hooked up to any water.
We all have embarrassing social flaws, don't we? Well, maybe you don't have any, but I'm loaded with them. I'm cursed with an inability to dance; I don't enjoy professional sports; I have no interest in going to Vegas to gamble away my paycheck; and I'm a total bore at political fundraisers. The list could go on and on, but I want to complain a bit about the one social flaw that seems to bite me in the tail every day of the week: when it comes to dressing myself, apparently I have no ...
Just 16 percent of voters nationwide believe it was a good idea for the government to provide Solyndra with loan guarantees. The solar power company went bankrupt and stuck taxpayers with the tab for a half-billion dollars.
Here's my first admission: I'm a geek. In school, I was the bookish girl who kept her head down during class and barely talked with other students. A bit of a nerd, geek or whatever other slang word would fit at the time. A voracious reader, I spent most lunch hours during my eighth-grade year reading in the library. It was easier to go there than it was to endure the process of trying to find someone to sit with in the cafeteria.
Excuse me, folks, but the weather is trying to tell us something. Listen carefully, and you can almost hear a parched, raspy voice whispering, "What part of 'hottest month ever' do you people not understand?"
I wasn't at Chick-fil-A on Wednesday, Aug. 1. For the record, I haven't eaten there in at least 60 days. That's not a political statement or a reflection of my food preferences; it's a necessity while trying (with some success) to get my clothes to fit again.
What with all the terrible tragedies happening around the country and the wash of divisive and negative news on all fronts, it is indeed refreshing to see that we are making progress in one area: a good energy bill was proposed in the Senate that would begin to move us forward towards energy independence. This is a good but not perfect bill and goes a long way to moving us off our current energy policy failure.
Senator John Hoeven, R-ND, recently introduced the Domestic Energy and Jobs Act, which would greatly expand access to energy and simplify burdensome regulations that ...
Kim Degonia has a pretty full plate as it is. She's a part-time magistrate judge for Newton County and a municipal judge in Porterdale. She and her husband have three boys, ages 5, 9 and 11, whom she calls "trouble," and she teaches yoga on the side "to preserve my sanity," she laughs.
