To The Point: MIPS
I'm sorry but that still does not justify the price of $220 on a POC Trabec MIPS, when I can get an equivalent Giro helmet for less than half the price.
What can I say, I'm a broke ass university student.
Besides CPSC helmet certification is still legitimate, even if it might be arguably less safe than the MIPS they are advertising.

running = weight loss?
June 15, 2012
Now I'm running 20 miles a week. Now what?
Thanks to you, I'm off medication. I completed C25K in April and now I'm on to 10K. I bought a HRM thinking it would help, but I'm too thick to understand it.
My goal is to lose all the weight I put on during my horrible depression of last year. Please tell me what kind of training is best for this purpose.
I'm confused: should I run really slowly to stay in the fat burning zone? It's kind of counter-intuitive. I also read somewhere that one has to "teach the body to burn fat". How do I do that?

I'm confused: should I run really slowly to stay in the fat burning zone?
The general theory is that you want to deplete or stress your body's glycogen stores so that it favours fat burning. There are several schools of thought: some more controversial than others.
I personally found I lost the most weight when I did a lot of speed sessions (I run 10Ks and halfs generally). This forces the body to burn extra fat as it burns through your glycogen. One focussed speed session a week: either running one of your scheduled runs at race pace or (better) or doing repeats at a running track (run one lap at high intensity, then jog one lap and repeat).
If you favour more long distance runs, you might consider doing a longish run (maybe 5-6 miles if you are doing 20miles per week) before doing a mile or two at a quicker pace.
I also read somewhere that one has to "teach the body to burn fat". How do I do that?
Again, this is controversial, and is a school of thought advocated by proponents of low-carb diets. It basically involves going on long runs without carb loading. The theory is that this will train the body to favour fat metabolism over glycogen. I am/have experimented with it, and while I have had some success: it isn't pretty and i think can be a little demotivating for the novice.
In all honesty, just keep doing what your doing. I lost virtually all of my excess weight by just following basically running plans and sticking with it. All the self-experimentation with more esoteric theories only really augmented what I was already doing.
So Throw in a few pace sessions if you aren't doing so already and the weight loss will come.
Godd luck!

Shorter runs - no more than 20 minute - more often (even twice a day) are what helped me. You get the metabolism tail-off (as your body goes from Expending a Lot of Energy back to base rate) twice instead of once.
Also, look at what you're eating.

The fat burning zone is a myth, or it is as a good way to burn fat. When you run faster a smaller percentage of your energy comes from fat, but you burn more overall calories, so you end up burning more fat. If your goal is fat burning then speed work is your friend, unless you're going to be running many more miles than you are. However, diet is really the most important constituent of a fat loss program. If you are using exercise to lose weight you have to be careful not to increase your calorie consumption due to increased hunger.

Running 30km/week? Well done!
In my limited experience, the best kind of training to teach your body to burn fat is the kind you keep doing year after year. If you keep running a 5-10k every other day your body will slowly reconfigure itself. There might conceivably be a way to speed up the process, but over the medium-long term you're certainly on the right track to a leaner self.
My advice would be to prioritize finding things to love about running over finding a running fad to follow. If it's a chore, eventually motivation will flag. That's particularly dangerous because giving up on running could be a prelude to giving up on other things.
I keep running because when I see a cyclist lazily coasting up ahead I tell myself that I can catch that guy, and I switch my mental soundtrack over to
Mission Impossible
. All that time I spent figuring out that a 5/4 time signature gives me an optimal breath-to-step ratio on a five minute sprint is about to pay off. Yeah, I motivate my ultimate goal of losing weight by having the proximate goal of playing like a dog chasing cars.

First off, congrats on the running achievements.
However, don't run to lose weight. You'll see some results, and it has other benefits, but you'll want to change your diet to significantly lose weight. Just look at how far you need to run to burn off a hamburger, and you'll see why diet is the way to go.
That said, you should look at HIIT for your cardio, but seriously, work on your diet - it'll make losing weight easier.

First of all, congratulations on your achievement so far.
Weight loss is primarily diet: it's a lot easier/faster to say no to a chocolate bar than to run long enough to burn an equivalent amount of calories. Many people seem to have had great success by logging everything they eat or drink (and I do mean
) and keeping track of calories using sites like myfitnesspal.
In terms of fat burning and running, my philosophy is that, other than for High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT), everything else is just tinkering with the edges: the main thing is to run in a way that you enjoy it so that you can keep at it.

Twenty miles a week is great, but maybe you need to do more, enough so that you're getting at least 45 minutes of exercise a day. I'm assuming that you run less than that because I walk three miles in 45/50 minutes every day and eat whatever I please. A while ago I was doing yoga a few times a week in addition to the walking and was losing a pound every two or three days, which I really could not afford to do.

Nice work! To echo some of the comments, your diet will need to be adjusted if you are running 20 miles/week and not losing weight. I also agree that mixing up work outs and including speed sessions will be helpful. Maybe try running on hiking trails or a track if your only running on pavement and running the same routes all of the time.
The heart rate monitor can be helpful to more accurately track the calories spent during your runs. Otherwise, it's not terribly useful unless you are seriously training or need to watch your heart rate for medical reasons.
One thing I did with my heart rate monitor was wear it for an entire day (5AM-5AM). It was a bit strange, but it gave me a good idea of my calories spent for a normal work day (office job) without strenuous exercise (~2240 C at 6'0" and 165lbs.). From there, I looked at what I was eating and could calculate if I over or under consumed. I saw the most weight loss when I was exercising regularly while eating smaller portions of whole foods, which were made up of less meat and more vegetables.

Also echoing what others are telling you... First, congrats!! For me, running is the best way to get healthy and improve emotional well-being. Do whatever it takes to continue enjoying it.
Second, true, to get good weight loss results you probably have to be multi-pronged: diet, weight training, and speed work running.
* For diet, try changing up your macro-nutrient balance (e.g. fewer carbs, more protein, more fat works for me, without necessarily changing total calorie intake).
* For weight training, pick up some weights once a week for 5 Minutes to get yourself started, and see the quick changes that can happen.
* For running, speed work really is the key to satisfying weight loss for my body, and the bonus is I can be much more efficient with my exercise time. The latest thinking is the
10 20 30 workout
where you do several repeats of sprint for 10 seconds, medium for 20, slow for 30. It's easy to do this ad hoc on the street (1/4 of a block fast, 1/2 block medium, one block jogging). Read the link--though the study was small, one of the benefits was improved mental health.

From the variety of answers that you're seeing here, I think it should be clear to you that it's not really clear to anyone what sorts of exercises are any better or worse for weight loss.
If you're feeling fine with the amount of exercise you're doing, it could be helpful to do more. At 20 miles a week you are doing pretty great, so the option other than running farther is to work to do those runs faster. Training to run faster can be more than just running a lot til your faster -- speed programs (fartleks, ramping up your pace towards the middle of your run, other speed exercises) can be quite helpful. A heart rate monitor can provide helpful to push your limits the right amount, and not too far, but if you're in tune with your body and can tell when to back off and when to push harder it won't be necessary for a weight loss goal.
As others said, diet has a big impact on weight loss, and changing your exercise program without at least controlling your food to make sure you don't increase how much you eat won't necessarily give you any weight loss.

if you want to lose weight, you need to expend more calories than you take in. period. it doesn't matter how you do it, just as long as you as you are operating on a calorie deficit.

Weight loss comes more in the kitchen than in workouts, unless you work out like a fiend. That being said, there's no way that running isn't helping your weight loss efforts. Many have found that shorter interval type workouts boost their metabolism more, and recent studies have been backing those up.

Thanks for all your answers. One thing I forgot to ask originally: is it wrong to go out and work out every day? I've been running every other day, but during the day off I'm usually crabby and would love to go, but somehow I don't do it because all the programs I've followed say to rest every other day. I wonder how necessary is that rest.
I find it hard to diet but I'm making an effort, esp. in the pudding-cookie-cake-chocolate department.
Thanks again to all.

Personally, I mostly ignore that concept that it might be bad to work out every day. For me, not going every day makes me lose momentum and determination, and since working out is crucial for my mental health even going out for 15 minutes is better than zero minutes. Just listen to your body. If your joints or muscles hurt too much, then take a day off.

If you are working out hard enough to get sore, then you do need to take a break -- you shouldn't work out so often that you're working out sore muscles. However, that doesn't mean you can't work out everyday, just have to plan accordingly. I try to run every other day, and do some circuit training weight lifting on the alternate days.

First of all, congrats on your success!
is it wrong to go out and work out every day?
It depend on the intensity of the work out.
In theory, you shouldn't work out everyday because
exercise actually
does not
make you fit, it's the rest after that follows the exercise that makes you fit
. Jonathan Savage, who's an ultra-runner, wrote a
good article
on that topic.
Personally, I think it would be ok to run on the "rest" day as long as you are doing very light work out. I usually go lift light weight on my "rest" day. Whatever you do, make sure to dedicate at least a day every week for rest.

The notion that you shouldn't run every day is ridiculous. It's just fine, as long as you build in some rest. It's possible to overtrain and get injured, but ifnyou pay attention to how you feel you should fine. Most serious running programs call for one, or at most two days off per week. That's for programs with 50-150 miles of running. Less running requires less rest.

Top Ten Best Sniper Rifles
Don't agree with the list? Vote for an existing item you think should be ranked higher or if you are a logged in, add a new item for others to vote on or create your own version of this list.The Top Ten
I have one of these, and a Finn with the slightly longer barrel, both go toe to toe with modern bolt rifles.
The weapon is just so good.
I love it!
Lt. Wulff Eure Force Recon (U. S. M. C. )retired 86-05
This silent combat sniper rifle is an ideal weapon for spying purposes.

The Contenders
I think close but no gold ring. More opinion speaking than actual expierence with weapons. Predjuice seems to always cloud ones judgement. Correct to a degree, but still not in the park. Several weapons out there that are beyond great. I am a average, no better shooter, had a one one half inch group with good wind at 496 yards with Accuracy International AW.50 BMG. That weapon trully rocks, will out shoot a Barrett M82/107 all day. I own both. Were I given a choice between the two the AI wins hands down. I have twenty five sniper rifles and every time I set eye 's on that
AI AW.50 BGMG me heart speeds up.
It has 3 different calibers that can be used,.308,.300 WM, and .338 lapua magnum, with inter-changeable barrels and is bull-pup coming in at just over 3 ft. Long
1/2 minute MOA can change cals in a minute super reliable just love it. Can go from a 243 to 308 and 300 win mag right up to 338 Lapua
Compact sniper rifle, great accuracy I would say
Said to be the shortest sniper rifle and their claims are they make more accurate rifles then both accuracy international and sako, witch are known to make some of the most, if not the most accurate and reliable sniper rifles in the world
Not an actual sniper. Was an anti-tank rifle, but a truly amazing gun!
The ebr is a sniper used on a calm weather activity as it has extreme power but not a lot of speed as it is a semi automatic rifle the barret 50 caliber rifle is good for extreme conditioning weather and terrain (desert perhaps) as it maybe semi automatic but has a reduced kick recoil mechanism or an easier way to describe it is a tube slides back in instead of a horizontal recoil.
I'm sorry for my bad English...
Accurate, tough, superb trigger and a fantastic Kahles scope.
If you were smart you would pick a mauser k98k over a barret 50 cal. K98 is lighter more accurate and easier to fire than the barret. And really a PTRS antitank rifle at number 7 what!
Single shot chamber (meaning higher psi rates in the barrel),. 50 caliber with a 50 BMG. Anti-Material Rifle.
The replacement for the m24 SWS
If it shoots the mk248 mod 0 or mk 248 mod 1.300 Winchester magnum that was ordered for the us military to be used with this rifle, it is said to reach 1370m/1500 yards
Its maximum effective range is certainly proved to be better then 1200m
7.62*51 NATO. Based off of the m14, composed of fiberglass and custom fitted for the shooter. Used in Vietnam. It had double the rifling than the m14 and had a range over 1000 yards accurately.
Low recoil
High power
7.62 nato
One of the best snipers made. The early ones anyway. Dead nuts accurate, and very reliable

Honestly, I love the "unquantifiably variable" playstyle of arcane! For those "doing it right", these 13% buffs will be huge, and it will also help bridge those not quite "getting it" to stick around long enough to indeed "get it".
It also assures that only raids with the raid leaders smart enough to understand the "unsimmable" arcane paradigm will be blessed with arcane mages. ;)

Larry King: Simon Monjack and Sharon Murphy remember Brittany
Brittany Murphy's husband Simon Monjack and her mother, Sharon, will be on Larry King's show Tuesday (Jan. 19) night.
The actress died Dec. 20 at age 32 from cardiac arrest. Monjack continues to insists that his wife didn't have an eating disorder or prescription drug addiction.
Describing her death, Monjack recalls, "Sharon and I were holding each other. And they let us know at the same time that they -- that she hadn't made it."
Sharon added, "But we knew before that. It was just -- you know, you felt her life go out of her."
An official cause of death has yet to be ruled, as toxicology reports haven't come back.
Brittany was laid to rest on Christmas Eve. At the service, Monjack called her his "soul mate."

Oh, everything not gold will be upset.
Oh, everything not gold will be upset.
Guys, what happened with Iggie blog? I cant fint it anymore I am worry about her.
I saw some of the Thornhill entries and no sign of VM. But even if the do skate there it will likely be last minute.
Havent seen her blog for some time. Hope all is well.
For those with access, here's the Canadian Summer Competitions thread in Kiss and Cry: http://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/show...r-Competitions
The Hasegawas and a few other Canton teams are scheduled to compete in Quebec; Paul/Islam have registered for Thornhill.
"Randy [Starkman (1960-April 16, 2012)] lived by the same motto as the rest of us. The Olympics isnt every four years, its every single day. He just got it." --Canadian Olympic kayaker Adam van Koeverden
The interim entry list is here. P/I for both events, R/H in the free, no G/P (at least not yet), no Hasegawas.
I think I wil go for a little while if I can make it.
Would like to see Nam and Rogozine skate as well.
I haven't checked the blog lately because I've just been so busy, but I hope this is temporary or something. Hopefully everything is ok
I had hoped Tessa and Scott would do thornhill just so we could see them earlier.
You guys look how cute this is! Grown up Tessa and Scott watching baby Tessa and Scott. (From the Strombo interview).

"Theyre everything in a team that we strive to be...they are to me the quintessential ice dance team of our time."~Kaitlyn Weaver
But there is no there names in Thornhill competitiors list. So we could hope they will compete in Finland. With skating long time in CSOI they maybe need more time to be ready on there main competitors level.
Yes, it was cute to see TS reaction on this interview. And they still taling they are working hard and this work paid off
Happy 4th July to out friends from USA!
Who is this kids?
thanks for the concern. i'm fine ... i wanted to do some experimenting with my blog, so i just moved it. it's now back.

Watch Good Eats
Good Eats is a cross between Julia Child's TV show, Mr. Wizard and Sesame Street with a little sitcom thrown in for good measure. A theme is presented each episode that can include a holiday, like Thanksgiving or Christmas, or a certain food like peas, cheese or beef. Host, Alton Brown uses a cacophony of visual aids from a hand-made puzzle of cow parts to show which cut of meat works best, to puppets, like the yeasties that are sock puppets that burp and bubble their way into risen dough.
Often times there is a plot or story line to the 21 minute show. Alton Brown usually plays himself and other regular characters, played by family and friends, come by from time to time to add to the plot. Farmer McGregor is the elderly neighbor, who grows a garden that Alton pilfers, but always brings a finished product to him to eat. His TV sister Marsha and nephew Elton are other regulars as is redneck cousin Ray, Colonel Boatwright who imparts advice on southern recipes, Deborah Duchon a nutritional anthropologist that always knows the history of food and B. D. Brown or the Anti-Alton - wicked twin of the host.
It is not unusual for the show to shoot part of a segment from inside the cupboard, refrigerator or the stove making for an interesting and kooky point of view. The show began shooting in a real kitchen, but eventually moved to a professional set to make more of the visual aids and special shots a possibility.
Along with all the entertainment comes a treasure trove of classical to unusual recipes that run the gambit from old fashion brown sugar pie to meatloaf. The show is ultimately very useful, entertaining and imparts recipes that any home cook would be proud to put on a table.

Chicago's Smoque BBQ pleases barbecue lovers of all ages
Don't forget to save room for the peach cobbler
Tuesday, January 22, 2013
True barbecue connoisseurs are already aware of what many say is indisputably the best in Chicago: Smoque BBQ, the brainchild of several guys who gave up working for The Man (in one case as an IT consultant) to try their hands as restaurateurs-and the first time was the charm.
The beauty of Smoque is that its menu is inspired by the best barbecue from all over the country-Kansas City, Memphis, Austin, St. Louis, North Carolina-and makes a unique style all its own. The centerpiece here is the meat-not the sauce. Smoque creators develop sauces that complement the specific meats, unlike many barbecue joints that create a sauce and use it on every dish they serve.
Smoque novices should order a platter of brisket. The platter includes the choice of tantalizing sides such as freshly baked cornbread, barbecue baked beans and coleslaw. Then, "add a taste," a small portion of another meat to sample, such as the divine pulled pork.
The kids' menu is tiny but crowd-pleasing: a mini pork or brisket sandwich served with fries and macaroni and cheese. Equally miniscule is the dessert menu: a peach cobbler so good it makes customers thrilled that there wasn't another option.
One word of caution: Smoque is not exactly a secret hidden gem, as evidenced by the consistently long lines. If your children are impatient, consider visiting at non-peak hours or ordering ahead for take-out.

Description: This part of the city saw the growth of what is today one of the most avant-garde capital cities in Europe, and which has exported its cultural and linguistic model very successfully all over the world.
The River Thames has been a silent spectator to numerous different civilizations: the Ancient Britons who built the original foundations of the city in the area today known as Covent Garden, followed by the rule of the Vikings who were then conquered by the Romans to finally open the way for the Anglo-Saxons.
After the Industrial Revolution and the decline of rural activity the profile of the city changed quite drastically. The city centre is currently much more spacious than in the Middle Ages and includes the famous districts of the West End, Soho and the aforementioned Covent Garden.
These areas are particularly famous for their entertainment and include theatres, museums, shops, and most particularly in Covent Garden, numerous street artists. The West End and Soho are the most famous leisure and shopping areas and include Trafalgar Square, Oxford Street (the most famous shopping street in the world), whilst Soho is known worldwide as being home to the largest gay community in London. Piccadilly is an important and elegant thoroughfare located with the unique Piccadilly Circus to the east and Hyde Park Corner to the west.

Researcher's Note:
Luther was long believed to have posted the theses on the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg, but the historicity of this event has been questioned. The issue is discussed at length in Erwin Iserloh's Luther zwischen Reform und Reformation (1966; published in English [1968] as The Theses Were Not Posted). Iserloh indicates that the first known reference to the story was made by Philipp Melanchthon in 1546 and that Luther never mentioned the posting of his theses on the church door. He suggests that, according to the best historical evidence, Luther wrote to the bishops on Oct. 31, 1517, did not receive an answer, and then circulated the theses among friends and learned acquaintances.

'American Idol' judge Kara DioGuardi co-hosts 'Live with Regis and Kelly'
Kara DioGuardi graced the "Regis and Kelly" set for her second co-hosting gig, as regular host Kelly Ripa is off for the whole week.
Kara's dad Joe, who is running for the U.S. Senate, was in the audience. Joe and Regis are apparently distant cousins dating back 200 years to Albania. The more you know!
When asked how things are going with Simon, Kara says he's "been much nicer to me this year. I always think he's gonna do something under the table. Not like that! ... But he's been kinda cozy. I don't know if I trust him."
She's excited not to be the new kid at the judges' table this year and says of Ellen, "I think she's doing a great job. There are times she takes the word out of my mouth."
She also regales Regis with tales of her husband Mike's beekeeping hobby (he makes McCuddy's Honey) and her recent weekend trip with her high school girlfriends. The entire stint made Kara infinitely more likable than she is on "American Idol." We love you Kara, but why can't you be this relaxed and cool on "Idol?"
Here's video of their interview with guest KElse Grammer, who is now starring on Broadway in "La Cage aux Folles."

That daytime show is where Kara belongs, where what she say's is scripted for her to read. She also played off Regis much better than she does off the other judges on AI.
Oh great, now she's on the air with that hack Regis! I thought Ripa was bad but putting this ULTIMATE douche on the air takes the cake, but she's also there to stomp for her old man's US Senate campaign in New York, which he'll lose badly in. She'll be off AI soon enough.
Wow, Grammer can't sing at all. Not surprising, but odd that he'd sing on national TV and prove it to everybody.
Kara DioGuardi is a fantastic artist and mentor. Glad to see her having fun and more laid back on Regis. It's tough to be a judge! Wish they had the opportunity to interview Joe about his run for Senate.

China's Large Position in U.S. Treasuries
The United States' debt load has risen substantially since the start of the milennium, raising concerns about the country's long-term financial health. But who owns all of this debt? A nation's debt is, after all, the total of bonds that the country has issued. Given the size of the U.S. debt – $17.3 trillion as of January 2014 - it should come as no surprise that the largest investors in U.S. Treasuries are other governments and central banks.
China, which owned an estimated $1.317 trillion in U.S. Treasuries, is the number-one investor among foreign governments, according to the November 2013 figures released by the U.S. Treasury. This amounts to over 23.1% of the U.S. debt held overseas and about 7.5% of the United States' total debt load.
Learn more: After China, who are the largest investors in U.S. debt?
Are These Big Numbers a Problem?
There are two reasons why China's huge investment in U.S. government bonds has stirred controversy in recent years.
First, if the country stops buying or elects to sell even a small portion of its position, Treasury prices would fall and yields would rise. The result of higher rates, in turn, would likely be slower economic growth and higher borrowing costs for the U.S. government.
Second, China's huge Treasury position is seen as leaving the United States economically vulnerable to the decisions of a foreign government.
That may seem like a potential danger, until you consider why China is buying so much U.S. debt. The reason is highly technical in nature, but the short answer is that China is buying Treasuries to help depress the value of its currency (the yuan). A cheaper yuan makes the country's exports less expensive for foreign buyers, thereby keeping the country's export-based economy chugging along. Consequently, the Chinese economy would suffer as much, if not more than, that of the United States if China were to suddenly stop buying U.S. debt.
Further, China continues to generate a massive amount of dollar earnings by virtue of its huge trade surplus with the United States. These dollars need to be invested somewhere, and the U.S. Treasury market – due to its enormous size – is one of the few places that China can recycle its surplus greenbacks. Consider, for example, that the Australia's bond market is only about 3% as large as the U.S. bond market. If China were to try to funnel more cash into the Australian bond market – or that of another smaller nation – the impact of its buying would be enormous, and it would disrupt the entire market. The U.S. bond market is one of the few in which this isn't the case, which explains why over 40% of the country's total reserves are invested in Treasuries.
It's also important to keep in mind that since China holds such a large position in U.S. debt, the nation has a vested interest in maintaining the health of the Treasury market. Naturally, this provides ample motivation for China to avoid any action that would cause Treasury prices to plunge.
Having said that, China did utilize its large position in Japanese government bonds to influence discussions surrounding Japan's purchase of disputed islands during September 2012. In addition, the Chinese government felt compelled to comment on the U.S. debt ceiling debate in October, 2013. With under two weeks to go until the United States would have exceeded the limit, thus raising the possibility of a default, China's Vice Foreign Minister, Zhu Guangyao, warned U.S. politicians that "the clock is ticking" and said, "We ask that the United States earnestly takes steps to resolve in a timely way the political issues around the debt ceiling and prevent a US debt default to ensure the safety of Chinese investments in the United States." This helps demonstrate that China will indeed try to influence the course of events in the United States when it feels its interests are threatened.
Don't Overemphasize Global Trends
The bottom line: the soaring level of U.S. debt is problematic, and to many citizens the high percentage of Treasuries now owned by a rising economic rival is even more troublesome. Still, China there is little reason to expect that the country will engage in any actions that would amount to economic warfare. Individual investors would therefore be well-served to take any discussion of this issue with a grain of salt, and to construct their bond portfolios based on their own individual needs rather than broader global trends.

Man gets 15 years in Orangeburg County killing | News
Title (Max 100 Characters)
ORANGEBURG, S.C. (AP) - A Summerville man who killed a man in his Orangeburg County home after an argument in January will spend 15 years in prison.
The Times and Democrat of Orangeburg reports that 34-year-old Demetrius Perry pleaded guilty this week to voluntary manslaughter.
Prosecutors say Perry shot 51-year-old Silas Williams in the pelvis with a shotgun at a Vance home on Jan. 26.
Deputies never figured out why the argument escalated to gunfire. Perry was originally charged with murder, but prosecutors say they accepted the plea deal to a lesser charge because the men had been violent with each other before and Williams had threated to hurt Perry.

Last week was full of such promise – graduation celebrations planned for thousands of Oklahoma teens, the start of summer vacation for children and the fun that includes, the end to a busy school year for educators. All of that changed on May 19th and 20th. Deadly tornadoes killed more than two-dozen people and destroyed many, many homes in Shawnee, Carney, Bethel Acres, Newcastle and South Oklahoma City. However none were more affected than the community of Moore and the Moore Public School District.
The current version of the GED® test will expire at the end of 2013.
The 2002 Series GED® test will be replaced with the new 2014 GED® test on January 2, 2014.
State Superintendent of Public Instruction Janet Barresi announced today that as of a last count on June 6 as many as 56 school sites were damaged by the severe storms and tornados that ripped through the state from May 19 to 31. Three of those sites were completely destroyed in Moore. In addition, the El Reno campus of the Canadian Valley Technology Center was destroyed.
On Monday, I attended two ceremonial bill signings at the State Capitol to celebrate legislation I feel is of vital importance to Oklahomans.
WHO: The Oklahoma State Board of Education
