Title: Geodia: Explore the Ancient Mediterranean World in Time and Space
Body: From http://geodia.laits.utexas.edu/faq.html GeoDia is meant to be a teaching and learning tool for anyone interested in the material culture of the ancient Mediterranean world. It seeks to represent the spatial and temporal distribution of human activity in that area, roughly from the emergence of complex literate societies in the Middle East to the foundation of Constantinople as the eastern capital of the Roman Empire (so from the fourth millennium BC to ca. 330 AD, though a few sites have information from earlier or later periods). Its dataset consists of two basic elements: sites (defined as geographic points where long-term human activity has left visible remains) and events (defined as things that happened at a specific geographic location and at a single point in time in the past). To avoid visual confusion, the two units are viewed separately. Sites appear in the timeline as bars, events as points. When you navigate to the main page, you'll see a frame on the right-hand side of the screen with a series of cultural and regional designations with check-boxes. This frame has four tabs across the top and three down the left side. By default, you begin in the "Browse" tab on the top and the sites tab (represented by a little building) on the side. The other tabs across the top allow you to search for a site by keyword ("Search"); to look at and manage the list of sites produced by browsing or searching ("Results"); and to see the periods and images associated with a site ("Details"). The two other tabs on the side allow you to browse or search images (represented by the icon of a camera) or events (represented by an exclamation point). The Images tab only permits a free-text search, which returns a series of image records with thumbnails. The Events tab acts like the Sites tab, with "Browse", "Search", "Results", and "Details" tabs across the top. In this case, "Results" provides a list of events with brief descriptions, and "Details" provides the full text we have for that event.

Title: Idaho University To Offer Spanish For Health Care Degree
Body: From http://latino.foxnews.com/latino/health/2013/07/26/idaho-university-to-offer-spanish-for-health-care-degree Idaho University To Offer Spanish For Health Care Degree July 26, 2013 Idaho State University in Pocatello is offering a degree in Spanish for Health Professions starting this fall. Helen Tarp is director of the new program and an associate professor of Spanish at ISU. She says she was unable to find a similar program anywhere in the country. The program is intended to help students in health professions become more competitive in the workforce while language students could train to work as a translator in an emergency room or doctor's office. The program includes curriculum requirements from both the health care and language departments, making it easier for students to double-major in their chosen fields. Tarp says a 63 percent increase in Idaho's Hispanic population over the past decade highlights the need for the new program, which will highlight language and culture.

Title: Migrant Summer School Brings in Mexican Teachers for Culture Lessons
Body: From http://www.oregonlive.com/hillsboro/index.ssf/2013/07/hillsboro_migrant_summer_schoo.html Hillsboro Migrant Summer School brings in Mexican teachers for culture lessons by Andrea Castillo July 23, 2013 The moment elementary teacher Irene Osorio Pacheco played a slideshow of her home state of Morelos, Mexico for her class of kindergartners, their perceptions of the country instantly changed. "Wow, that's Mexico?" she recalled them saying in reaction to the photos. Osorio Pacheco was one of three elementary teachers from Mexico brought to the Hillsboro School District in June under a federal migrant education program. The teachers integrated lessons of culture into the Migrant Summer School's regular curriculum focus of reading, writing and math. The Bi-national Migrant Education Teacher Exchange Program is part of an initiative that started in 1976 to help migrant students in California. The departments of education in Mexico and the United States have since partnered to improve schooling for children who travel frequently between the two countries. The program works like this: Migrant-heavy school districts are given federal funding each year to improve education for those students. School districts can use part of that money to request Mexican teachers for a limited time to help meet specific needs. For example, a teacher who speaks Mixtec — an indigenous language spoken in the state of Oaxaca — could provide support for students who arrive in the United States knowing little Spanish or English. Expenses to prepare exchange teachers are covered by the Mexican government, including the selection process, orientation in Mexico and round-trip airfare.
