Mile High United Way Surpasses Goals For New Literacy Program
Significant Second-Year Gains Demonstrated for Colorado Reading Corps
Denver, CO (PRWEB) January 21, 2015
Mile High United Way today announced significant gains for the second year of its Colorado Reading Corps program. Building on successes from the 2012-13 school year, over 80 percent of participating third graders who were previously reading below grade level showed improved academic performance and are now scoring at or above grade level for reading comprehension. As Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper noted in his second-term inaugural address last week, “We will continue to build…a Colorado where all of our children have access to a first-rate education, regardless of zip code.”
To that end, Colorado Reading Corps in 2014 met or exceeded benchmarks in a number of important categories, including fluency, vocabulary, phonemic awareness and comprehension. “Colorado Reading Corps is dedicated to our goal that 100% of our children are reading at or above grade level by the end of third grade,” said D.J. Close, Colorado Reading Corps Program Manager for Mile High United Way. “And we’re encouraged by last year’s results.”
“By starting early in childhood,” said Colorado Lieutenant Governor Joe Garcia, an outspoken advocate of the program, “Mile High United Way’s Colorado Reading Corps program is ensuring that our kids will have a lifetime of opportunity.” The program’s 50 tutors serve 41 schools in Jefferson County Public Schools, Adams 12 Five Star Schools and Aurora Public Schools. In 2013-14, Colorado Reading Corps tutors worked with more than 1,400 students in the Denver Metro area. “We saw such positive results that we’re expanding the program from four to 23 schools in the 2014-2015 school year,” said Chris Gdowski, Adams 12 superintendent. “It’s a cost-effective way to provide intervention for many more students.”
Christine Benero, President and CEO of Mile High United Way notes, “We are thrilled at the success of the program, it’s a wonderful testament to how data-driven programs can truly create impactful results.”
Due to its proven success, United Way of Larimer County launched the program in their community last year. Loveland’s Thompson School District is already seeing strong results only a few months into their pilot year. “Colorado Reading Corps has been successful in closing the learning gap early in life to help our children reach their full potential,” said Gordan Thibedeau, President and CEO of United Way of Larimer County. Nearly 90 percent of the 295 students that have participated in the program are showing improved academic progress, and 32 kids have graduated from the program.
Colorado Reading Corps is made possible through committed program sponsors including the Corporation for National and Community Service, Serve Colorado, Target and QEP Resources, Inc. Beginning in 2014, school districts who have already seen proven results from the program are investing their own dollars to ensure all students receive the added supports necessary to all be successful readers.
Colorado Reading Corps uses research-based approaches replicated from the successful Minnesota Reading Corps (MRC), established in 2003. Early results there showed the program model was effective, and it quickly expanded to serve children in more locations throughout the state, growing each year to become the largest state AmeriCorps program in the country.
Building on that proven model, Colorado Reading Corps applies rigorous metrics to demonstrate clear results, with an emphasis on the following:· Scientifically based interventions
· Frequent progress monitoring
· Clear literacy targets at each age level
· High-quality training of tutors
The tutors often find that the program spurs wonderful opportunities in their own lives. Those who lend their time and dedication to the program enjoy professional development, job training, a modest living allowance and a $5,750 education award. “In the time I’ve served with Colorado Reading Corps, I’ve been able to experience much of what I had hoped for,” said Taleen Terjanian, a first-year literacy tutor at Vaughn Elementary in Aurora, Colorado. “What I didn’t anticipate was just how magical it would be to introduce children to new worlds through reading.”
ABOUT COLORADO READING CORPS
Colorado Reading Corps is a strategic program of Mile High United Way’s School Readiness Initiative. Through the program, K-3 grade students gain access to additional reading support in the form of weekly one-on-one tutoring by AmeriCorps tutors. The goal of Colorado Reading Corps is to ensure that all children are competent readers by the end of third grade. Learn more at: http://www.UnitedWayDenver.org/CoReadingCorps.

Pain Relief & a Movie: Topical BioMedics Now Offers a Complimentary .75 Oz Tube of Topricin for “Cake” Movie Reciepts Submitted to SpecialOffer(at)topricin(dot)com
Chronic Pain and those suffering from pain medication addiction are featured in the new film “Cake,” starring notable actress Jennifer Aniston. In an effort to help curb the nation’s pain medication addiction epidemic, with a viable option to do so, Topical BioMedics, Inc. offers a FREE 0.75 ounce tube of Topricin Pain Relief and Healing Cream and a $2.00 coupon to customers.
Rhinebeck, NY (PRWEB) January 21, 2015
Ms. Aniston portrayal of chronic pain in the movie “Cake” is exceptional. Aniston's performance has earned nominations for the Screen Actors Guild Award and Golden Globe Award.
In the film, Aniston plays Claire Simmons, a woman suffering from chronic pain after experiencing a horrific car accident. A crucial part of the film transpires within a chronic-pain support group. Aniston’s authentic and raw capturing of the life effects that come about with pain medication addiction is resonating nationwide. Her anger, deadened-eyes, and bloated appearance truly depict the battle of a body in pain.
In a recent interview with Dr. Oz, Ms. Aniston relates how she "tried to capture what it would feel like if every movement you made was agonizing and the mental struggle of having no idea how to take the pain away and stop taking pain meds….”
Topricin’s purpose and mission is to unravel this deadly web of painkillers and addiction and to help people get their life back. Says Topricin’s formulator Lou Paradise,
“Addictive Rx painkillers are killing more than the pain, they are killing the people we love. It’s an epidemic that is turning lives upside down, destroying families, eroding communities, and undermining the very fabric of American society!..
Many people have ask how big this problem actually is and are shocked to learn the fact that while the U.S. accounts for only about 5 percent of the world’s population, Americans now consume 99 percent of the world’s Vicodin and 84 percent of its Oxycontin. These medications are highly addictive, with unwitting users getting hooked in as little as five days. Yes, the problem is undeniably epidemic. “
Topricin bridges the gap between well-researched natural biomedicines and the conventional medical community. Topricin as a technology has demonstrated over the years to the medical community, that there is a tool that gives better insight on diagnosing and treating pain, reduces or eliminates the need/dependency for all classes of oral pain pills, and supports the patient centered care model with superior outcomes.
Topricin offers a viable 21st century option for doctors and their patients, maximizing healing, versus tradition pain pills that literally shut down the healing process and are toxic to the body. The pain pill model fails to produce safe, lasting results and does not address the cause of the pain ….taking too many lives simply because people were never made aware of all their options.
Jennifer Aniston’s character of Claire Simmons captures the tragedy of pain medication addiction. It is Topricin’s goal to offer hope after watching this powerful film, giving complimentary FREE tubes of Topricin and a discount to real life characters suffering with chronic pain. In fact, Topricin will be celebrating "Cake," while eating cake in honor of its COO Aurora Paradise's birthday. Ms. Paradise's wish is for all to experience true relief, without the need for pain medication.

ABOUT CAKE: http://cakemovie.net/
Cake is a 2014 American drama film written by Patrick Tobin, directed by Daniel Barnz, and starring Jennifer Aniston, Adriana Barraza, Felicity Huffman, William H. Macy, Anna Kendrick, and Sam Worthington. It debuted in the Special Presentations section of the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival. Aniston portrays a caustic woman who has visions of a woman in her chronic-pain support group who committed suicide. As she uncovers the details of the suicide, she grapples with her own personal demons.
ABOUT TOPICAL BIOMEDICS:
20 years in business and a Certified B Corporation, Topical BioMedics is a research and development leader in topical patented natural biomedicines for pain relief.

The Magic Question
This week, hundreds of Americans are skipping work in order to audition for starring roles in three high-profile criminal trials being staged around the country. The defendants in all three cases—the alleged killer of 6-year-old Etan Patz, in New York; the alleged Aurora shooter, in Colorado; and the alleged Boston Marathon bomber, in Massachusetts—stand accused of committing crimes that have attracted national attention, making the task of finding people who can evaluate the evidence against them in an unbiased way extraordinarily difficult. But even in more run-of-the-mill cases, in which the contaminating potential of pre-trial publicity is not an issue, seating a panel of 12 open-minded jurors is more challenging than you might think. And according to some critics, the process our criminal justice system relies on to find those jurors is seriously flawed.

Chocolate Expo Makes Sweet Return on Jan. 25 to The Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk
More than 40 chocolatiers and other specialty-food vendors to set up in Aquarium, combining sea turtles with chocolate turtles, frogs and fudge, jellyfish and jelly-filleds, and more.
Norwalk, CT (PRWEB) January 22, 2015
Shop for sweets for your sweetie – or for your own sweet tooth – among sharks, seals, sea turtles and other amazing marine animals on Sun., Jan. 25 when The Chocolate Expo once again takes over The Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk.
Some 40 local and regional vendors will set up throughout the Aquarium galleries and offer tastings and sales of their delicious and decadent chocolates, baked goods and specialty foods.
The Maritime Aquarium will be fully open on Jan. 25, two hours longer than normal (until 7 p.m.) – and at a lower admission price than normal – making the event an outstanding value.
“Here’s a recipe for a great day,” said Chris Loynd, the Aquarium’s marketing director. “Start with one of the best places for family fun in Connecticut, and melt in fine chocolatiers. Next, whisk in an assortment of other things chocolate, from soaps and crepes to brussels sprouts and bacon. Sprinkle in free demonstrations by celebrity chefs, and keep it all simmering for an additional two hours. Adorn with sides, relishes and sauces to taste. Finally, serve it all up for a 25 percent discount on regular Aquarium admission. As we say every year, you’d have to be dipped in nuts not to come.”
First County Bank is presenting sponsor of The Chocolate Expo at The Maritime Aquarium.
Expo/Aquarium visitors will find not only traditional and gourmet chocolates, but also unique offerings like chocolate tarts, chocolate-covered pretzels, chocolate balsamic dressing, chocolate-covered bacon and even chocolate-scented bath soaps. Non-chocolate goodies will include gourmet crackers, pumpkin seeds, quiches, cannolis, vinaigrettes, pickles, cotton candy, challah breads and more.
Expo producer Marvin Baum said The Chocolate Expo is for people who are serious about chocolate and who love unique specialty foods.
“Vendors at the Expo typically offer small tasting-sized portions of their products,” Baum said. “Think of the chocolate tastings in the way you might think of a wine tasting at a winery: you get a small sample to try and you often get to talk with the person who made the product. If you like what you’ve tasted, you can purchase that product for yourself or to give as gifts.”
For ready-to-eat treats, Aurora Gourmet will have their chocolate fountains flowing, while Crazy Crepe Café will be making delicious crepes and Pika’s Farm Table will serve authentic Belgian-style waffles dipped in a choice of white, dark or milk chocolate.
There will be no IMAX® movie presentations on Jan. 25, so that demonstrations using chocolate can be presented by three celebrity chefs:
– Tony Albanese, pastry designer and former assistant to Buddy Valastro of “Cake Boss,” at 11 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.
– Barret Beyer of Fox TV’s “Hell’s Kitchen” at 12:30 & 5 p.m.
– and Larry Rosenberg, recipe-book author and owner of Bacon Bites, at 2 p.m.
Seating of 310 for the demonstrations will be on a first-come, first-seated basis. The chefs also will be available throughout the day for pictures and autographs.
Except for “Jiggle-A-Jelly” and “Meerkats,” all of The Maritime Aquarium exhibits will be open during the Expo – and will stay open two hours longer than normal: from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.
“Coming less than three weeks before Valentine’s Day, it’s a perfect opportunity to buy some sweets for your sweetie,” Loynd said. “Plus, there are no NFL playoff games on the 25th, so there’s no reason for anyone to stay home. In fact, with no football to watch, Chocolate Expo gives football fans something to do!”
Enjoy all the decadent treats while exploring The Maritime Aquarium, a not-for-profit organization whose mission is to educate visitors about – and to create stewards for – Long Island Sound. The Aquarium accomplishes this by allowing visitors to get close to more than 250 species native to the Sound and its watershed, including sharks, seals, sea turtles, river otters, jellyfish and other animals.
Special Expo/Aquarium ticket prices on Jan. 25 are just $15 for adults and $10 for kids 3-12. Paid admission is required on Jan. 25 of Aquarium members, who save $2 per ticket. Prices include Chocolate Expo admission, all Maritime Aquarium exhibits and the celebrity-chef demonstrations.
Last year’s Chocolate Expo resulted in the busiest day in The Maritime Aquarium’s history. Loynd said the Aquarium is prepared for another big crowd on Jan. 25, but suggested that guests will enjoy easier and quicker access by coming before 11 a.m. or after 4 p.m. Skip the line at the door, he added, by purchasing tickets in advance online at http://www.maritimeaquarium.org.
More parking is available for this year’s event: in the Maritime Garage (across from the Aquarium’s main entrance) and short walks away in the city’s Webster Lot and Veteran’s Memorial Park. Free shuttle-bus service will run continuously from Veteran’s Park.
Find an open parking space by using a smart-phone app called Parker that displays “real-time” parking availabilities in South Norwalk.
