Pedagogy in which teaching strategies are congruent with the traditional culture and ways of knowing and learning
Curriculum that is based on traditional culture and that recognizes the importance of Native spirituality
Strong Native community participation in educating children and in the planning and operation of school activities
Knowledge and use of the social and political mores of the community"

- -Editorial - Pro-Kerry from Crawford, Texas (Iconoclast-Texas.com)

-"Empty the Social Security trust fund by $507 billion to help offset fiscal irresponsibility and at the same time slash Social Security benefits."
-"Cut Medicare by 17 percent and reduce veterans’ benefits and military pay."
-"Eliminate overtime pay for millions of Americans and raise oil prices by 50 percent."
-"Give tax cuts to businesses that sent American jobs overseas, and, in fact, by policy encourage their departure."
-"Give away billions of tax dollars in government contracts without competitive bids."
-"Involve this country in a deadly and highly questionable war, and"
"Take a budget surplus and turn it into the worst deficit in the history of the United States, creating a debt in just four years that will take generations to repay."
"These were elements of a hidden agenda that surfaced only after he took office."
"The publishers of The Iconoclast endorsed Bush four years ago, based on the things he promised, not on this smoke-screened agenda."
"Today, we are endorsing his opponent, John Kerry, based not only on the things that Bush has delivered, but also on the vision of a return to normality that Kerry says our country needs."
"Four items trouble us the most about the Bush administration: his initiatives to disable the Social Security system, the deteriorating state of the American economy, a dangerous shift away from the basic freedoms established by our founding fathers, and his continuous mistakes regarding terrorism and Iraq." 9-04

- Euclid (Gurupedia.com)
"Euclid of Alexandria (Greek: Eukleides) (circa 365-275 BC) was a Greek mathematician who lived in the 3rd century BC in Alexandria. His most famous work is the Elements, a book in which he deduces the properties of geometrical objects and integers from a set of axioms, thereby anticipating the axiomatic method of modern mathematics. Although many of the results in the Elements originated with earlier mathematicians, one of Euclid's major accomplishments was to present them in a single logically coherent framework. The geometry of Euclid was known for many centuries as 'the' geometry, but is nowadays referred to as Euclidean geometry." 8-05

Awesome Library does not endorse these products but provides them as examples. 07-07

The NIE—a periodic intel assessment that is considered the most authoritative issued by the U.S. government—concluded Al Qaeda has 'regenerated key elements' of its ability to attack the United States." 07-07
- Infrastructure (Wikipedia.org)
"Infrastructure is generally a set of interconnected structural elements that provide the framework supporting an entire structure. The term has diverse meanings in different fields, but is perhaps most widely understood to refer to roads, airports, and utilities. These various elements may collectively be termed civil infrastructure, municipal infrastructure, or simply public works, although they may be developed and operated as private-sector or government enterprises. In other applications, infrastructure may refer to information technology, informal and formal channels of communication, software development tools, political and social networks, beliefs held by members of particular groups. Still underlying these more general uses is the concept that infrastructure provides organizing structure and support for the system or organization it serves, whether it is a city, a nation, or a corporation. Economically infrastructure could be seen to be the structural elements of an economy which allow for production of goods and services without themselves being part of the production process. e.g. roads allows the transport of raw materials and finished products." 08-07

If you wear suit everyday, then you should have at least one suit for everyday of the week." 11-07
- Diets that Have Always Promoted Health (US News)
"The focus is on finding the overall combination of foods that are associated with better health, without necessarily pinpointing individual elements of the diet that are responsible. That may involve studying how people in different areas of the world eat or, here at home, using statistics to study which foods the healthiest among us consume. 'You find out who's healthy, then ask what they're eating and how much they exercise,' says K. Dun Gifford, founder and president of Oldways Preservation Trust, the Boston-based food issues think tank that developed the Mediterranean Diet Pyramid. (More later on the exercise element, which often gets lost when people try to adopt a healthier diet.)" 04-08
