Group 3 will focus on five specific services. These services include: Transitional Employment Assistance (TEA), Medicaid, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) formerly known as food stamps, Child Care Assistance (CCAP), and AR Kids First.

...Health and Wellness in Native North America It is true that many of the old ways have been lost. But just as the rains restore the earth after a drought, so the power of the Great Mystery will restore the way and give it new life. We ask that this happen not just for the Red People, but for all people, that they all might live. Black Elk, Oglala, Sioux Contemporary health status of American Indians can be best viewed through the lens of various federal policies enacted over the past 500 years. These policies were developed largely in response to dramatic population losses among the indigenous peoples of America, resulting from genocidal actions of military campaigns, the lack of immunity to the diseases that accompanied European colonizers, and the assimilation efforts that destroyed tribal structures and wellness practices. Medical services were first coordinated through army physicians in the Department of War in an effort to control the spread of diseases from early reservation sites placed on or near military forts. By the twentieth century, the rapid decline of the Indigenous population, documented by the “Meriam Report” of 19281 prompted new assimilation efforts to save the first Americans. Healthcare services were re-coordinated within the Bureau of Indian Affairs and then into the Public Health Service, finally resting within the Federal Indian Health Service (IHS). Assimilation policies, however, proved to be highly destructive resulting in the...

...THE CUSTOMER PYRAMID: CREATING AND SERVING PROFITABLE CUSTOMERS Zeithaml, Valarie A.; Rust, Roland T.; Lemon, Katherine N. California Management Review Summer2001, Vol. 43 Issue 4, p118 Innovative service companies today recognize that they can supercharge profits by acknowledging that different groups of customers vary widely in their behavior, desires, and responsiveness to marketing. Federal Express Corporation, for example, has revolutionized its marketing philosophy by categorizing its business customers internally as the good, the bad, and the ugly--based on their profitability. Rather than marketing to all customers in a similar manner, the company now puts its efforts into the good, tries to move the bad to the good, and discourages the ugly.(n1) Similarly, the customer service center at First Union, the sixth-largest bank in the U.S., codes customers by color squares on computer screens using a database technology known as "Einstein." Green customers are profitable and receive extra customer service support while red customers lose money for the bank and are not granted special privileges such as waivers for bounced checks. Providing different service to customers depending on their profitability is becoming an effective and profitable service strategy for firms like FedEx, U.S. West, First Union, Hallmark, GE Capital, Bank of America, and The Limited. These firms have discovered that they need not serve all customers equally well--many customers are too costly...

Each activity reinforces an aspect of the American free enterprise system.

Other activities help students understand the roles of government, labor, consumers, and the global economy in American free enterprise. CREATING A CUSTOMIZED FILE The individual booklets in the Teacher’s Classroom Resources provide a wide variety of supplemental materials to help make economics meaningful to students. These resources appear as individual booklets in a carryall file box. There are a variety of ways to organize your classroom resources.

Saylor URL: http://www.saylor.org/books Saylor.org 1 Preface Competing books are focused on the academic part of HRM, which is necessary in a university or college setting. However, the goal with this book is not only to provide the necessary academic background information but also to present the material with a practitioner’s focus on both large and small businesses. While the writing style is clear and focused, we don’t feel jargon and ten-dollar words are necessary to making a good textbook. Clear and concise language makes the book interesting and understandable (not to mention more fun to read) to the future HRM professional and manager alike. It is highly likely that anyone in business will have to take on an HRM role at some point in their careers. For example, should you decide to start your own business, many of the topics discussed will apply to your business. This is the goal of this book; it is useful enough for the HRM professional, but the information presented is also applicable to managers, supervisors, and entrepreneurs. Besides these differences, other key differences include the following: This book utilizes a technology focus and shows how HRM activities can be leveraged using technology. We have also included a chapter on communication and information...
