Extractions: "'When Hondurans think of Coca-Cola,' he (Campaign Director Ray Rogers) continued, ' they should think of a company that has brought not optimism but hardship and despair to many people and communities throughout the world. When they think of Coke soft drinks, they should think of them as the sparkle of death, and therefore unthinkable and undrinkable.' "'In a message to Hondurans experiencing the new "positive" Coca-Cola campaign, Rogers said 'Coke will steal your water, pollute your environment, ruin the health of your children and try to enslave the fathers and mothers who produce and distribute its soft drinks.'

Extractions: For more than 25 years, the NASA Educational Affairs Division has provided educational programs and materials for teachers and students from the elementary to the university level. The NASA Teacher Resource Center Network, a dissemination mechanism to provide educators with NASA educational materials, is one of the programs that has helped science and mathematics teachers over the years. Teachers need immediate access to the information that is generated by NASA programs, technologies, and discoveries, so they can bring that excitement into their classrooms. NASA educational materials are related to art, mathematics, energy, physics, careers, spaceflight, aeronautics, technology utilization, physical science, and social science. They are a valuable supplement to textbook instruction. To help disseminate these materials to elementary and secondary educators, the NASA Educational Affairs Division has established the NASA Teacher Resource Center Network (TRCN). The Network comprises Teacher Resource Centers (TRCs), Regional Teacher Resource Centers (RTRCs), and the Central Operation of Resources for Educators (CORE). Located at the nine NASA research centers, TRCs have a variety of NASA-related educational materials in several formats: video tapes, slides, audio tapes, publications, lesson plans, and activities. NASA educational materials are available to be copied at the TRCs.

Extractions: The Glow in the Dark IMF At my job I have ofte n taken groups of students to visit the International Monetary Fund, IMF, and World Bank buildings for speeches. The first thing I noticed was how surprised I was at how different the the institution's public relations teams were. The P.R.people at the World Bank are intelligent, caring, proud, and often seem to be interested in improvng the World Bank. (They were willing to admit the that there might problems that could be fixed within the World Bank) Across the street at the IMF P.R. people while adapt at arguing for the the institution's position, but were always mechanical and unwilling to express personal opinions. As for flaws in the IMF? Well no organization is perfect.

Latin American Youth Center in the district of columbia to begin charter schools to the district of LAYC begins renovation of the art and media house, a new unique social http://www.layc-dc.org/aboutus/history.html
Extractions: Intro Mission Board Directors ... Staff List History With overwhelming support from community youth, volunteers and parents, the Latin American Youth Center (LAYC) incorporated in 1974 as a multicultural youth and family development center in the District of Columbia serving Latino youth, while serving as a bridge to the wider youth community. Prior to 1974, the LAYC had been providing educational and vocational summer and after-school activities which were housed in several locations in the community. The incorporation as a not-for-profit youth center signald the board of directors and the community's intention to insure that the young immigrants in the neighborhood had a place "to call home." In the early years, 1974-1979, the LAYC had little public or private support, but had dedicated volunteers, board of directors and youth leaders committed to its success. In the late 1970's and the early years of the new decade, the LAYC began to receive city funds to support its youth efforts. Responding to the ever changing needs of the youth and families in the community, the LAYC grows as it begins to support the array of educational, vocational and support services needed by youth and their families in the community. The Center grows from a small volunteer focused effort, to a year-round multi-service center. In 1995, the LAYC received its first U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Grant for its Youthbuild program. YouthBuild, is an award winning youth development model program. Additional program space was located and LAYC recruited its first YouthBuild group of students to begin in 1995.

The purpose of the initiative is to recruit the best cancer researchers and to reorganize cancer research at GW to focus on breast, lung, colon, and prostate cancers in addition to melanoma. The choice of these cancers is not random. Breast, lung, colon, and prostate cancers are all alarmingly prevalent in the District of Columbia, especially among people of African descent. Since the population of the city is approximately 60 percent black, the Cancer Initiative is a direct response to a pressing medical need right at home.

Extractions: for the Study of Media Ethics and Law The Silha Center for the Study of Media Ethics and Law was established in 1984 with an endowment from Otto and Helen Silha. Located within the School of Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of Minnesota, the Silha Center is the vanguard of the School's interest in the ethical responsibilities and legal rights of the mass media in a democratic society. The Center focuses on the concepts and values that define the highest ideals of American journalism: freedom and fairness. It honors the importance of these ideals by examining their theoretical and practical applications and by recognizing the interdependence of ethical and legal principles. Several major projects worthy of sustained, programmatic effort on the part of faculty and students have been identified. These include: Media Accountability A variety of associated programs are organized and promoted by the Center, including a lecture series, symposiums, forums, workshops, monographs, bibliographies, and syllabi. Support is provided for faculty research, and for Silha Fellows working on advanced degrees. The Center also serves as a resource for journalists, scholars, and other community members with questions about ethical and legal issues involving the media.
