Impelled by runaway spending and rampant corruption, America's much-beloved games of college basketball and football are being threatened. The specter of billion-dollar sums being showered on coaches, voracious athletic directors, hordes of support staff and lavish comforts for fans has led to a near-deafening roar to pay the players. The injustice of such sums being amassed, in the main, from the labor of young men of color many of whom come from disadvantaged backgrounds cannot be justified; and yet, American society has allowed this intractable problem to fester for more than half a century. Lured by the glitter of untold riches, naive young players enroll year after year in colleges and universities expecting the ultimate reward of a highly paid career as a pro. Only a minuscule few will advance that far; even fewer will reap significant financial rewards. Instead of educating them, colleges and universities force them into full-time athletic jobs in which their labor is shamelessly exploited. Small wonder that outraged critics demand compensation for the players, but these same critics only present vague answers when asked how such a radical change would work. College Sports on the Brink of Disaster, first published as Marching Toward Madness and now newly updated, cites twenty-one reasons why the pro-pay position is wrong, among them the prospect that the player talent pool will be concentrated to even fewer rich schools; recruiting wars will lead to more frequent scandals; and the regulatory powers of the NCAA will exponentially increase. Worst of all, pay-for-play will encourage schools to shirk even further the imperative to educate the young athletes. College Sports on the Brink of Disaster presents comprehensive reforms to end cheating and corruption in college sports, to put academics first, and to end the peonage of non-white athletes once and for all.

A blindfolded woman holding a balance and a sword personifies one of our most significant virtues. We find Lady Justice in statues and paintings that adorn courts and other institutions of law, symbolizing strength and impartiality. Yet why do we valorize this virtue primarily as a quality of societies, and secondly as one of individual character? We can trace the virtue of justice to ancient Greece, where virtue ethics began its long evolution. There justice was seen as one of the most prominent virtues - and arguably the most important of the social virtues. With time, political philosophy diverted focus to understanding justice as a property of societies, and discussion of justice as a virtue of individuals diminished. But justice as a virtue of individual character has, along with the other virtues, reasserted itself not only in philosophy but in social psychology and other empirical fields of study. This volume aims to demonstrate the breadth of that thinking and research. It comprises new essays solicited from philosophers and political theorists, psychologists, economists, biologists, and legal scholars. Each contribution focuses on some aspect of what makes people just, either by examining the science that explains the development of justice as a virtue, by highlighting virtue cultivation within distinctive traditions of empirical or philosophical thought, or by adopting a distinctive perspective on justice as an individual trait. As the volume shows, justice begins with the individual, and flows outward to make just laws and just societies.

The cover is very attractive and interesting. The author is a Southern Kentucky woman who married a New Jersey Italian man. They have been happily eating together for 35 years is how she puts it. After their visits to Italy, she had learned many Italian dishes first hand and experimented with them in her tiny kitchen, as she describes it. There is even a beautiful poem about her tiny kitchen, very lovely Each recipe is preceded by a beautiful color photograph of the prepared dish, a great thing for a cookbook to have. The recipes are very well written, the ingredients and directions are arranged in the order of their use which makes it very easy to follow and such a pleasure to make. They let one finish the dinner meal without any surprises. Her soups alone are worth buying it for, the really hearty ones that make a meal in themselves. Anyone can create the dishes they remember as a child at Granny's table but never found in print, until now. Best of all the ingredients are readily available from any grocery store. A very good book for anyone who loves either of these American Southern or Italian foods. A perfect gift for newlyweds and anyone interested in cooking up full bodied old fashioned wholesome authentic dinners that we remember only Granny used to make. Forty recipes and all of them are so delicious. Just wonderful old fashioned home cooking

This is where it all began. How and why the idea came to be, and how this book shares two titles. Both, Boomers to Groomers and Sixty From The Sixties are the same book but with titles reversed. It's all in how you look at it A book about helping out the grandchildren's generation, (or the Re-generation) and some much needed reassurances about the good life we all appreciate now more than ever before, but not by some drab self-help written text book. Instead, this book is best to be read on a relaxing afternoon near a sunny window. It is more like talking with a good friend than listening to a boring lecture. Once you start reading it, there is no doubt that it will be difficult to put down. The Baby Boomer has come of age. We are now the generation the newest generation will look up to. We have come to the head of the line, we ARE the older generation. Hopefully, many already or will enjoy a time in our lives when we get a chance to spend some with our grandchildren. The magical bond that only exists between Grandparent and Grandchild is a wonderful opportunity to open their world to things that can have a positive affect on their lives. With so many words being redefined everyday, Groomer has joined that list. Groomer has naturally developed a double meaning; first as an abbreviation of the natural progression from Baby Boomer to GRandparent bOOMER then GRand bOOMER and finally GROOMER and second as someone who inspires and grooms the youngest generation with wisdom and memories of a quality of life that, once again, may be realized. Without our patience and understanding, they will never know any of the wonderful things that truly matter. If we do not show them, how can our children show them, they tuned us out a long time ago. Rebuilding morals and values that seem to have crumbled with time is first and foremost, remembering the life we still live inside is paramount but keeping our sense of humor is what really matters. That is why this book is so enjoyable. With humor, determination and always looking for the brighter side of things to come, this book is one that you will enjoy. When the author seems to get off the track, go for a ride together, it'll be fun If we are not instrumental in the rejuvenation of the elements which can make the quality of everyone's life better, then we are not living up to the reputation that has become the icon of our generation Stephen LeBar

A collaboration of painting and poetry in which the bed is depicted as icon, as locus, the central scene where varying characters enact their dramas. Sappho's is the voice, an index of fragmentation. This work contains her archives, preserving the space behind closed doors, lost for centuries, recently retrieved and reinvented.

A memoir of boyhood in eastern Pennsylvania, along the Delaware River. With a keen eye for detail, Frank LeBar recalls the diverse activities of a traditional, turn-of-the-century life, including farming, fishing, trapping, lumbering, store-keeping, and accommodating the growing numbers of city-people on vacation.

Is there a distinctive Christian system of education? Lois LeBar shows that there is such a system, and she defines it clearly. Her aim in this book is to help teachers discover the distinctive Christian system of education and to help Christians produce literature and visual aids from a Scriptural viewpoint.
In order to reach Scriptural conclusions, the reader is led through the process of studying the methods of the Teacher "come from God," the Old Testament wilderness school, the emphases of Paul's major sermons in Acts and of""his epistles, the example of the life of David. From these sources is derived the nature of the teaching-learning process, the relation of authority and creativity, the relation of the human and Divine teachers, and the implementation of these principles in structuring curriculum units and lessons.
Dr. LeBar emphasizes that intimate personal experience in the Lord should go together with Biblical facts and doctrine. Here is a book so overflowing with spiritual reality and power that it cannot help but bring new light and a life of transformed service to everyone who reads it.

Moving Math is a resource that focuses on 'moving' the teaching and learning of mathematics by shifting instruction and assessment practices. The book describes how using various thinking skills helps students make sense of mathematical concepts to support numeracy. Key thinking skills, such as: inferring and interpreting; analyzing; evaluating; making connections; synthesizing; reasoning and proving; and reflecting are deconstructed and modeled through suggested learning experiences across various grades. The book offers possible student solutions that demonstrate how the thinking skills support the intended mathematical learning. Evidence of student thinking and learning is described through the lens of the learning goal and success criteria. Examples of feedback to move students forward are included. Moving Math will enhance students' mathematical thinking and numeracy development.

Effective teaching and assessment strategies to help students think differently about mathematics Effective mathematics instruction and numeracy development are a major focus in classrooms today. The Four Roles of the Numerate Learner introduces a framework (sense maker, skill user, thought communicator, and critical interpreter) that supports an integrated approach to effective mathematics instruction. This timely book builds on educators' understanding of how to effectively teach mathematics and borrows from successful frameworks used to teach literacy. It considers the mathematical practices that students need to learn to construct mathematical knowledge, become mathematicians, and simply do mathematics. The goal is to provide multiple entry points into a new world of mathematics instruction-a new way of thinking and learning where learners engage in critical thinking about numeracy and act on this knowledge. The framework emphasizes student voice with many opportunities for students to ask questions, pose problems, explore ideas, and change their thinking about mathematics and the way they see themselves as mathematicians. The Four Roles of the Numerate Learner shows new and experienced teachers how to foster and support daily practice that permits students to use their diverse identities to build their mathematical knowledge and incorporate their cultural experiences.
