Market share was up, though sales were flat, and portables were very strong. When mentioning the large sales to Henrico County, Virginia and the entire state of Maine, Mr. Anderson specifically said that there were another 100 or so similar sales that had either taken place or were in the works, and that Apple would not be publicizing them. Fortunately, a local Alaskan newspaper is taking care of that, at least for one district. The Fairbanks Daily News-Miner published a

Each judge and magistrate who participated either invited school children to come to the courtroom for a mock trial or presentation or traveled to a school or classroom to speak. This project is one way to effectively communicate the important role that judges play in our justice system. Each presiding judge and area court administrator worked with the local school district to coordinate the program. Activity Narrative: Prior to 1999, Law Day activities were only conducted on a localized and occasional basis in Alaska. Although a few judges and some other individuals conducted Law Day programs for local schools, there was no organized, consistent effort throughout the state.

    Extractions: in Seeking Supreme Court Review of Pledge of Allegiance Case June 11, 2003 (Juneau, AK) - Alaska Attorney General Gregg Renkes today joined 49 other state attorneys general in urging the United States Supreme Court to review the Pledge of Allegiance case. "The court's ruling is clearly wrong and once again shows that the Ninth Circuit continues to be out-of-touch with the rest of the country," said Attorney General Renkes. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals held, in Newdow v. United States of America and Elk Grove Unified School District, that the Pledge of Allegiance violates the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. Idaho Attorney General Wasden and Oklahoma Attorney General Edmondson released the states' "friend of the court" brief this morning during a news conference held at the National Association of Attorneys General (NAAG) summer meeting in Oklahoma City. The attorneys general of 49 states joined the brief and the California attorney general will file a separate brief also urging the Supreme Court to hear the case. "For almost 50 years, willing Americans of all ages have been reciting the Pledge of Allegiance in its current form in public schools and other forums," Idaho Attorney General Wasden said. "Most likely, very few of us ever dreamed that a federal court would decide the Pledge of Allegiance constitutes an establishment of religion."

Lahnum, Acting Superintendent of Anchorage, and Mr. Gordon Guffey, Anchorage High School, saw the need for separating the high school basketball tournament from local business promotion as part of the Fur Rendezvous. Thus, the Western Alaska High School Activities Association was organized to assure the needed educational leadership. During these same years, Mr. Sterling Sears of Juneau, Mr. Les Wingard and Mr. J.E. Danielson of Ketchikan, were moving ahead to fill the same need in Southeastern Alaska. In 1956 the desire to have a state organization led to the establishment of the Alaska High School Activities Association by the State Department of Education Superintendents' Advisory Commission.The Constitution and Bylaws were approved in the fall of 1957. The officers of the two divisions elected Mr. J.E. Danielson, Superintendent of Ketchikan, as Secretary-Treasurer and Mr. William Zahradnicek of Palmer, as Chairman. Mr. George McMillan of Juneau, Mr. Joe Montgomery of Anchorage and Mr. Sterling Sears of Juneau, were elected as members of the first State Board of Control.

    Extractions: Adult Basic Education (ABE) ABE Directory General Education Development (GED) GED Requirements GED Test Centers GENERAL EDUCATIONAL DEVELOPMENT (GED) TESTING BACKGROUND: The United State War Department originally developed the GED test in the 1940s for use only with military personnel. The first Alaska GED diploma was issued in 1948. By 1960, more civilians than military personnel were taking the GED Test. In 1966, the new Adult Education Act provided federal funding for ABE and GED programs through the State Department of Education. The GED test was selected by the Alaska State Legislature as the official high school diploma equivalency exam. The test battery includes five separate timed tests, which are proctored under strict test security regulations. Testers must be at least 18 and not attending school. Under special circumstances a tester may test after his/her 16th birthday. By the early 1970s GED test versions in Spanish, Braille, large print, and cassette were developed. On July 1, 1999, the GED program transferred from the Department of Education and Early Development to the Department of Labor and Workforce Development. The statutory authority for this program is the Workforce Investment Act of 1998, Title II, Adult Education and Family Literacy and Alaska State Statute 44 AAC 31.020: Delegations of Authority to Issue Diplomas in Connection with the Adult Basic Education Programs. There are currently 27 GED Test Centers in Alaska. Each Test Center must sign an annual contract with the National Council of Education's GED Testing Service. These Centers are administered by the State GED Administrator who is responsible for test security, transcript archival and retrieval, and the production of GED Diplomas and duplicate diplomas. The GED Test program archives over 80,000 transcripts and responds to over 2,000 requests for official transcripts annually.

Residence: Applicants must be physically present in the state at the time application is made. An Alaskan temporarily residing out of the state may receive a diploma upon submission of an application by the GED Testing Service, a United States Armed Forces Institute, a Veteran's Administration Hospital, or a federal correctional institution.

The Alaska Department of Labor and Workforce Development will issue the transcript and diploma.

    Extractions: Physical Activity Among Alaska Adolescents Introduction The Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) measures health risk behaviors related to the leading causes of mortality, morbidity and social problems among youth in the United States. In 1995, Alaska implemented the YRBS survey, sampling a representative group of 1643 high school and 1265 middle school students. Six categories of adolescent behavior were examined: behaviors that result in unintentional and intentional injuries, tobacco use, alcohol and other drug use, sexual behaviors, dietary behaviors, and physical activity. Previous Epidemiology Bulletins have addressed the areas of alcohol/drug use and sexual behavior. The Benefits of Adolescent Physical Activity In 1996, the Office of the Surgeon General released its first report on the relationship between physical activity and health. The report finds that the benefits of physical activity, both long and short-term, begin in youth. Physical activity during adolescence helps build and maintain bones, muscles and joints; helps control weight, build lean muscle and reduce fat; reduces anxiety and stress and increases self-esteem; and may prevent or delay the development of high blood pressure later in life. Continued into adulthood, regular physical activity reduces the risk of developing or dying from some of the leading causes of illness and death in the US.
