Blindness isn’t preventing Learning Ally National Achievement Award winner Steph Fernandes from pursuing an education and career in public interest law.

Washington, DC (PRWEB) February 22, 2012

Learning Ally (formerly Recording for the Blind & Dyslexic), a national nonprofit organization serving 250,000 individuals with learning differences, visual impairment and reading disabilities, will honor six remarkable students on February 27 at its 52nd annual National Achievement Awards celebration in the nation’s capital.

Three of these high achievers are blind or visually impaired; three have learning disabilities like dyslexia; all are recognized for scholastic excellence, exemplary leadership, and service to others; and all have thrived in education with the help of accessible educational content and assistive technology that Learning Ally provides.

The six winners will receive cash awards of $ 6,000 and travel with their families to Washington, DC, where they will accept their awards, meet with public officials and Members of Congress, and speak at a special Roundtable on “The Impact of Access” on Capitol Hill. This year’s NAA winners include:

     Ashley Brow, 22-year old blind student from Massachusetts, is the first member of her family to graduate from college. Having lost her vision in eighth grade, Brow finished her undergraduate work at Emerson College with a 3.99 grade point average, and is now in graduate school pursuing a career as a speech-language pathologist.

     Gregory “Grey” Pilant, a 19-year old student from Florida, has severe dyslexia and reading-processing disability. Now a freshman at the University of Miami, Pilant is blossoming as a Pre-Med student and aiming to make an impact on the healthcare field, while also working in hospital emergency rooms as a volunteer.

     Henry “Hoby” Wedler, a 24-year old from California who was born blind, completed his undergraduate work at UC Davis – double majoring in Chemistry and History and minoring in Mathematics, and achieving a 3.83 grade point average. Wedler is now pursuing his Ph.D. in Chemistry, and has established himself as a teacher, role model and mentor for younger science students.

     Margaret Perry, an 18-year old from Maryland who has dyslexia and attention deficit disorder, is a freshman at Duke University studying Public Policy and Art. Perry spent last summer mentoring Baltimore city youth at SuperKids Camp in Baltimore, a nonprofit summer camp for city elementary students to improve their literacy and math skills. She plans to use her knowledge about learning differences to be an advocate for those facing struggles similar to her own.

     Stephanie Fernandes, a 22-year old graduate student from Ohio, is pursuing her law degree at Ohio State University. Undeterred by total blindness resulting from a rare disorder, Leber’s Congenital Amaurosis, Fernandes graduated with honors from Boston College with a 3.93 grade point average. She spent the past summer in Washington, DC immersed in an internship at the National Disability Rights Network (NDRN) and has her sights firmly set on a career in public interest law, focusing on disabilities and child advocacy.

     Carson Wigley, 18-year old dyslexic student from Maryland, graduated from Worcester Preparatory School with a 97.0/100 average, and is now a freshman at Wake Forest University. She was a Maryland state winner of Letters about Literature, a national competition of the Center for the Book in the Library of Congress; and she also founded her own organization, SHINE Now, which has collected 4,000 books for children in Title I schools and homeless shelters.

About the National Achievement Awards

Each year, Learning Ally honors a total of 15 students in two categories of its National Achievement Awards. Blind or visually impaired college seniors and grad students are presented with the privately endowed Mary P. Oenslager Scholastic Achievement Awards (SAA). High school seniors with learning disabilities such as dyslexia are honored with the privately endowed Marion Huber Learning Through Listening® (LTL) Awards. Hundreds of students apply for these prestigious awards each year and are evaluated by committees of Learning Ally volunteers, board members, parents, educators, donors and staff. Each award winner has a long list of honors and accomplishments, and has graduated with a GPA above 3.0, with most near the 4.0 mark. The top three winners in each category are honored with a trip to Washington, DC with their families, and a $ 6,000 cash award to support their education.

About Learning Ally™

Founded in 1948 as Recording for the Blind, Learning Ally serves more than 250,000 K-12, college and graduate students, as well as veterans and lifelong learners – all of whom cannot read standard print due to blindness, visual impairment, dyslexia, or other learning disabilities. Learning Ally’s collection of more than 70,000 digitally recorded textbooks and literature titles – delivered through internet download, assistive technology devices, and mainstream devices like iPhone and iPad – is the largest of its kind in the world. More than 5,000 volunteers across the U.S. help to record and process the educational materials, which students rely on to achieve academic and professional success.

Celebrate the 6th Annual NATIONAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP WEEK, February 18 25, 2012

Columbus, Ohio (PRWEB) February 21, 2012

The 6th Annual National Entrepreneurship Week is featuring local entrepreneurs such as Joe Russell of Russell’s Cycling + Fitness, a bicycle shop in Washington, IL.    This entrepreneur demonstrated his interest in mentoring the students of the Business Entrepreneurship Class at Washington Community High School, in the winning video interview for “Hot Shot Entrepreneurs”. YouTube link The competition was sponsored by the Consortium for Entrepreneurship Education with the winning video posted on the National Entrepreneurship Week website.    

Entrepreneurship Education, like this Illinois program, is alive and well in most of the United States, with various types of action being taken to support entrepreneurship as a career choice in the public schools of different states.

SURVEY OF STATES – To honor the 6th annual celebration of National Entrepreneurship Week, the host (The Consortium for Entrepreneurship Education) conducted a survey of the state education leaders to determine “THE STATE OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP EDUCATION, 2012″. The goal was to explore where each state stands on providing entrepreneurial experiences with emphasis on K-12 programs.

Most significant from the survey, 80% of the states said “Entrepreneurship skills are extremely important to the future.” However, for the most part, these state leaders have not taken major steps to include entrepreneurship education in the curriculum. Important results included:

    More than two-thirds of the states said “they have standards that include entrepreneurship competencies”. Even more said they “offer separate classes in entrepreneurship” (76%), and almost all (90%) said the “colleges offered entrepreneurship education.”

    When asked if their teacher training/certification had requirements for teacher preparation to support entrepreneurship education, 80% said “no” or they were “not sure”. When you consider that most teachers have not been entrepreneurs it seems obvious that this is a major area of needed teacher preparation.

    When asked how entrepreneurship was taught in their state, 75% said “optional use of business plan development in various courses” followed by 44% that said “they have summer camps for selected students”. The concepts of “problem-based learning activities”, a series of “entrepreneurial experiences”, “preparation for questions on state tests”, and “opportunities for advanced placement credit” were not identified as frequently used.     The dependence on a written business plan as preparation for starting a business is a limiting educational approach. However this is often the only answer in both high schools and colleges.

    The Consortium is delighted that 78% of the states reporting, said that data from the Consortium’s newsletters focusing on the FORUM, webinars, and websites regarding the development of the entrepreneurial climate have been used to enhance entrepreneurial education in their state.

We invite all interested in nurturing the entrepreneurial mindset with American youth to see the entire report, entitled “THE STATE OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP EDUCATION 2012″ at http://www.entre-week.org under “Hot Topics”. We are particularly encouraged by the state leadership that is now moving toward including entrepreneurship competencies in state educational standards.

CELEBRATIONS EVERYWHERE – Across the nation there are major events being staged this week at state and local venues during this, the 6th annual National Entrepreneurship Week. Educators and entrepreneurs alike recognize the importance of the contributions of American risk-takers as they create jobs and build the economy. Many governors are showing their support for “free enterprise” with state proclamations for the Week. The Consortium’s website http://www.entre-week.org is a collection of pictures, stories, and events created by the network of those that believe….

“Entrepreneurs are not ‘born’ … rather they ‘become’ through the experiences of their lives.”

Parents, teachers, entrepreneurs and community leaders everywhere will want American Youth to seek their opportunities to become self-reliant and develop the skills to create their own future.    

LET’S ALL CELEBRATE THE 6TH ANNUAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP WEEK, February 18 – 25, 2012!

ABOUT THE CONSORTIUM FOR ENTREPRENEURSHIP EDUCATION-

The members are champions for “entrepreneurship education” at all levels of education and across all disciplines in America and the world. We encourage education leaders everywhere to join us in sharing ideas for empowering youth and adults to recognize the opportunities of an entrepreneurial career and develop the knowledge and skills that lead to success. We believe that multiple education experiences are all part of preparing students to be the entrepreneurial leaders of the future.

The Consortium was created by the International Enterprise Academy at the Ohio State University in 1980 and has become a private, non-profit corporation since 1998. The Consortium provides an annual national professional development conference for teachers, created and supports National Entrepreneurship Week, maintains websites and produces regular newsletters sharing the work of its members and the field of entrepreneurship education.

RIVERDALE, N.Y., (PRWEB) February 13, 2012

Cardinal-designate Timothy M. Dolan, who will formally be elevated to cardinal on Feb. 18 by Pope Benedict XVI and has served as Archbishop of New York since 2009, will deliver Manhattan College’s keynote address at the College’s 170th Commencement on Sunday, May 20.

The new cardinal will also receive an honorary doctorate degree during the 1 p.m. ceremony, which will award more than 700 undergraduates with degrees in some 40 major fields of study from its five schools in arts, business, education, engineering and science.

“We are honored and delighted that Cardinal Dolan will be with us to celebrate this great day in the life of the College,” said Brennan O’Donnell, Ph.D., president of Manhattan College. “He has a deep affection for and appreciation of the work of Catholic education at all levels and has been a wise counselor and pastor to the Colleges and Universities in his diocese. His becoming an honorary alumnus of Manhattan College represents the continuance of a great history of faithful, collaborative work between the College and the Church in New York City.”

Since first being installed as Archbishop of New York on April 15, 2009, Cardinal Dolan has guided the diocese in the Catholic faith and teachings. In 2010, his fellow bishops elected him to president of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, and he also was chairman of Catholic Relief Services from 2009-2010.

Cardinal Dolan was ordained a priest in 1976 and spent the first 10 years of his religious service working as an associate pastor at Immacolata Parish in Richmond Heights, Mo., and serving in parish ministry in St. Louis. In the late 1980s, he was recognized for his leadership in the Church and appointed to secretary of the Apostolic Nunciature in Washington, D.C. He went on to serve as rector of the Pontifical North American College in Rome from 1994-2001. Before beginning his work in New York, Cardinal Dolan was the Archbishop of Milwaukee from 2002-2009 and also was named Auxiliary Bishop of St. Louis in 2001 by Pope John Paul II.

Born in St. Louis, he received a bachelor’s degree in philosophy from Cardinal Glennon College. He completed his priestly formation at the Pontifical North American College in Rome, and earned a license in Sacred Theology from the Pontifical University of St. Thomas. In addition, Cardinal Dolan was awarded a doctorate in American Church History from The Catholic University of America.

Toronto, Ontario (PRWEB) February 19, 2012

According to Exercise Candy president Alex Allan: Maintaining a healthy, lean physique 365 days a year for most, if not all of your life comes down to this fact about brain chemistry:

“There are two major types of people in this world when it comes to “feel good” brain chemistry; those with a high or higher sensitivity to reward, and those with a low or lower sensitivity to reward. The basic idea here is that higher the sensitivity to reward, the harder it is to maintain impulse control during certain situations. Also, people who have a higher sensitivity to reward usually have less dopamine, and will seek out more extreme impulse based behaviours to feel good. This can happen during childhood, which also could be why overweight kids have a harder time with weight management later in life.”

Alex offers new perspective as to the real reason why diets fail by defining this large group of chronic dieters as “HSR” or High Sensitivity to Reward types, and uses his blog at http://www.exercisecandy.com as a platform to explain how the brain chemistry of the HSR is incompatible with many of today’s diets, supplements, processed foods, hardcore workout routines, and short term weight loss solutions. Allan identifies several of the most destructive triggers for HSR’s, offers alternative strategies to help avoid binge eating, and explains the “why” of the concept with the help of solid scientific studies.

Alex explains how many people with a high sensitivity to reward (HSR types) use specific high glycemic foods to satisfy the cravings in their brains; ignoring the competing feeling of fullness message that is sent from receptors in the stomach. For these people, any food that causes a huge spike in insulin and is rapidly absorbed through the bloodstream will elevate dopamine levels and get them “high.” Make no mistake about it; this is a legitimate addiction that acts on the brain in a way that is similar to the actions of cocaine and other powerful drugs. The most potent offender affecting blood sugar levels and brain chemistry is refined white sugar. Not by accident, its molecular structure is one nitrogen molecule away from that of cocaine. Sugar is only one “trigger” that needs to be completely avoided by HSR’s. There are several others that Allan outlines in the article, including the ingestion of artificial sweetener which he likens to; “using Tantric intercourse to overcome a sex addiction..pure torture.”

Alex has identified that the major problem with many diet programs is that the focus is either based on a points system that allows small quantities of trigger foods, or a system that balances fasting and considerable caloric restriction with “cheat days” that inevitably become ridiculous displays of gluttony. This leads to negative feelings of self that contribute to a shame spiral of addiction, and the process repeats itself. The main focus of this article is to teach HSR type people that it is not their fault, and to offer strategies that will help. Through identifying their unique issues, and making changes that are favorable to their brain chemistry, their chances of success will go up.

Alex is the creator of http://www.exercisecandy.com; a fitness and nutrition blog that strives to create, import, and display only the highest quality fitness information available on the Web. Alex holds an Honours Degree in Kinesiology from York University, is a certified Kinesiologist with the province of Ontario, and is certified as a Corrective Exercise Specialist by the National Academy of Sports Medicine. In addition, he has completed numerous other certifications in the areas of strength and conditioning, core stability and fat loss, corrective and postural exercise, post rehabilitative care, functional training, and high performance sport conditioning.

The internationally acclaimed Newark Boys Chorus School (NBCS) hosted its 2012 “Lawyers Leading the Way” Annual Breakfast on Friday, February 10th, from 8:00am – 10:00am at The Newark Club, One Newark Center. Keynote speaker for the fundraising event was noted attorney Raymond M. Brown, Esq.
