"IN 1971, researchers at Johns Hopkins University embarked on an ambitious effort to identify brilliant 12-year-olds and track their education and careers through the rest of their lives. The Study of Mathematically Precocious Youth, which now includes 5,000 people, would eventually become the world's longest-running longitudinal survey of what happens to intellectually talented children (in math and other areas) as they grow up. It has generated seven books, more than 300 papers, and a lot of what we know about early aptitude."

Interesting: Later start times improve student grades…Posted: March 14, 2014 in Education, School, Students
Tags: Education, School, start time, students
"MINNEAPOLIS / ST. PAUL (03/12/2014) —Later high school start times improve student grades and overall health, according to a new University of Minnesota study, released today.
The three-year project, using data from more than 9,000 students attending eight high schools in three states, found that, when switching to a later start time:
- attendance, standardized test scores and academic performance in math, English, science and social studies improved.
- tardiness, substance abuse, symptoms of depression, and consumption of caffeinated drinks decreased.
In addition, the study found that there was a 70 percent drop in the number of car crashes involving teen drivers at Jackson Hole High School in Wyoming, which shifted to the latest start time of the eight schools (8:55 a.m.).
"The research confirmed what has been suspected for some time," said Kyla Wahlstrom, Ph.D., director of the U of M's Center for Applied Research and Educational Improvement (CAREI), which conducted the study. "High schools across the country that have later start times show significant improvements in many areas. The reduction of teen car crashes may be the most important finding of all, as the well-being of teens and the safety of the general public are interrelated."

Tags: Education, School
"School administrators may want to be even more aggressive in calling for weather-related closures. A new study conducted by Harvard Kennedy School Assistant Professor Joshua Goodman finds that snow days do not impact student learning.

Past Trainings and Current Endeavors…Posted: November 15, 2013 in Adult Education, Education, Educational Leadership, Educational Technology, Instructional Technology, School, School 2.0
I was recently reviewing my list of instructional technology trainings, etc. from my years serving as an instructional technology director. The list of resources can be found here http://nhokanson.wordpress.com/training-resources/ although, some of the links to resources within are no longer available with my current school district abandoning a server that was utilized to feed this info. I have most of the information; so, I plan to reconstruct as much of those resources that I can over the next few weeks in order to have it serve as a historical record of my past work, but also to serve as a resource to those that can benefit from the information.
In the meantime, as I continue to teach again in a classroom setting, I am constantly constructing online resources that enable my students to work anywhere they have a device and internet connection as we flip the classroom and continue on our adventure in learning about modern American history.

With the Washington State football season just right around the corner we take a look at who could be the breakout players for the Cougars for the 2014 season.
Last season running back Marcus Mason surprised a lot of people with the season he had. A lot of people had Mason at the 3rd string back but it was not long before Mason made his way to the top of the depth chart and surprised a lot of people and had a surprising 'breakout season' for the Cougars.
Who is going to have a breakout season for the Cougars this year?
For most people they would like to see a few offensive lineman have a breakout seasons and protect Connor Halliday back at quarterback. A lot of interceptions that Halliday threw last season were forced because he was being hurried by the defensive lineman and it would be nice to give him that protection back in the pocket to complete the passes he needs to.
Instead of an offensive lineman for the breakout player I see wide receiver Calvin Green being the breakout player for the Cougars offense this season.
Green, who enrolled at Washington State early last school-year, is looking to be one of the Cougars best offensive players this year. He has the speed, hands, and head to be one of the Cougars biggest receivers for the coming year and it would be no surprise if Halliday has Green as his go-to receiver when Halliday and the Cougars are in need.
With the Cougars wide receivers all being experienced and the position being very deep it would not be surprising to see Green being a backup for the first part of the season. I see Green getting playing time early on and slowly (hopefully quickly though) moving his way up the depth chart and becoming the biggest receiver for the Cougars as a true freshman.
The Cougars are returning mostly all of their receivers from last season and are looking to improve on last season. With Green being behind those players since January and learning from them as well as being coached and in the weight room it would be no shock if Green sees playing time early.
I have been saying ever since I first watched Green's film that he was going to be a huge player for the Cougars and he has done nothing but prove that I was right, with a great spring game and a great fall camp I see Green being the breakout player for the Cougars.

All of Us
I have a confession to make: I've never watched this UPN sitcom, feeling annoyed that Will and Jada Pinkett Smith have their names emblazoned across its promotional billboards they're the executive producers, but aren't really in the show. Also, I already watch The Parkers (Mo'Nique rules!) and, no disrespect, but this busy boy only has so much TV time to devote to UPN. That said, I broke down and tuned in to see Will guest star. And it was educational for me, as a Caucasian, to catch this All of Us episode. I learned that an Old School party is where you dress up all ghettolicious (circa 1986) and goof around, listening to pre-Fabolous rappers from back in the day. I also learned where the heck my girl Debi Mazar's been hidin' herself! Oh, and I learned this show's cast is actually pretty funny and likeable, even if the Smiths aren't series regulars.

After losing his best friend and closest ally, Andrew Savage, the 31-year-old got the snuff and became the first jury member. As a self-proclaimed "big-time fan" of Survivor, Opray says he was just thrilled to get a chance to compete in the game.
"For me, it was the challenge [and] the adventure," Opray tells TV Guide Online. "It wasn't even about the money, or being famous or anything. It was just something I wanted to do ever since I watched the first show."
Even the game's abrupt "On your marks, get set, disrobe!" start was exciting to Opray. "I thought that was fun," he says. "I was ready to go. Let's do it, let's go overboard. I hit the rail and jumped off the side of the boat."

NASHVILLE, TN - MAY 1: Kenny Britt #18 of the Tennessee Titans addresses the media during the Tennessee Titans Minicamp on May 1, 2009 at Baptist Sports Park in Nashville, Tennessee. (Photo by Joe Murphy/Getty Images)
In the 2009 draft, the Tennessee Titans selected Kenny Britt 30th overall in the first round. While he's shown flashes of brilliance in his short career thus far, one can still fairly ask: was Britt drafted too early? Kenny Britt was drafted at 20 years old and his immaturity has shown with all of his off-field issues. In April 12, 2011, Britt was arrested in New Jersey on three counts, including a felony, of an alleged car chase. The sentence was reduced on June 7, 2011 and the next day Britt was arrested for resisting arrest. On July 20, 2012, Kenny Britt was arrested for an alleged DWI charge and was suspended this season for one game, because of the charge.… Read more

Arizona Cardinals
Arizona Cardinals select QB Logan Thomas in 4th round of NFL Draft
The Arizona Cardinals and head coach Bruce Arians have finally drafted a quarterback.
The Cardinals selected former Virginia Tech signal-caller Logan Thomas with the No. 120 overall pick, making him the sixth quarterback taken in the draft.
"I had a pretty good idea I had a chance to go to the Cardinals, and really it's what I was hoping," Thomas said on a conference call with the media after his selection.
"It just felt right from the very beginning."
Thomas, a 6-foot-6, 260-pounder, is off the charts athletically and physically, but his on-field performance has been somewhat lacking.
He tossed 16 touchdowns and 13 interceptions as a senior, completing 56.5 percent of his passes. Thomas is the seventh quarterback drafted out of Virgina Tech, and the first since Michael Vick in 2001.
Thomas, out of Arians' alma mater, underwent a workout with the Cardinals on campus earlier this offseason. Thomas fits the Arians profile of big-bodied, strong-armed, athletic quarterbacks.
"For me, I couldn't have gone into a better situation," Thomas said.
Thomas created some NFL Draft buzz after his sophomore season, in which he completed almost 60 percent of his passes with 19 touchdowns and 10 interceptions, but his growth seemed to stall from there.
"What being a quarterback comes down to is throwing an accurate ball," Thomas said. "This offseason I could really go refine some things. I feel really good about it and I'm excited to take some steps."

Alright Twins Territory and Minnesotans as a whole, lets put down the pitchforks and let the tar cool before we go and grab the feathers. In all seriousness, the most polarizing topic surrounding Twins baseball is actually one that is very well worth discussing. There likely have been no two bigger faces of Twins Territory than that of Kirby Puckett and Joe Mauer.
At this point in Joe Mauer's career, we can finally start to line up his numbers against those of Puckett's as their ages align at 31. When the 1991 season came to a close, Kirby Puckett was 31 years old, the same age that Joe Mauer currently is.
So let's look at a breakdown of statistics quickly:
Player A
716 Runs Scored
1,602 Hits
266 Doubles
47 Triples
123 Home Runs
675 Runs Batted In
639 Strikeouts
.320 Career Batting Average
6 All-Star Game Appearances
Player B
735 Runs Scored
1,513 Hits
304 Doubles
21 Triples
109 Home Runs
674 Runs Batted In
636 Strikeouts
.320 Career Batting Average
6 All-Star Game Appearances
If you guessed that Player A was Kirby Puckett, you would be correct, with Player B being Joe Mauer. Looking at the comparison between the two, Mauer is roughly 250 plate appearances behind Puckett to this point in his career (a number he will not attain by the end of 2014).
While having less plate appearances, Mauer has essentially drawn even in every category outside of triples (which is fair considering the differences in their athletic frames). So, with that in mind, why is Joe Mauer such a figure of criticism for Twins fans.
Could it be because of bilateral leg weakness? Could it be due to having never played more than 147 games in a season? Could it be due to the fact he no longer plays catcher? Sure, it could be due to all of those things, but unfortunately the basis of Joe Mauer's criticism is drawn from principles that matter little in the grand scheme of baseball.
Looking back at Kriby Puckett's career, the glaring difference that is void from Joe Mauer's 31 year old resume comes in the form of two World Series Championships. While baseball is a team sport, and it takes a complete effort to be the best in October, Puckett is synonymous with bringing titles to Minnesota, fair or not.
Joe Mauer however is tied to a contract that doesn't represent the value baseball fans believe it should. In 2011, Mauer signed an eight year, $184 million ($23 million annually) contract to stay with the Minnesota Twins long term. A contract of that size is supposed to be reserved for the likes of guys like Miguel Carbera and Mike Trout.
But why is that number synonymous with those types of players?
Is it because they hit massive home runs? Is it because their teams are winners? Is it because they drive in runs and have respectable power numbers? Unfortunately, it's synonymous with those players because that's what a large contingent of baseball fans have deemed to be "fair value."
Once again, a simple, yet often failed to grasp principle in baseball is that a contract is little more than a measuring stick in comparison to your peers. An organization can pay any player whatever ridiculous sum of money they'd like, ask Albert Pujols and the Angels. Contracts and the numbers they represent are some of the most irrelevant things in baseball.
Although Joe Mauer can be criticized for failing to keep himself on the field, and he can probably even be criticized for not developing a better power stroke in which he can drive the ball to the pull side of the field, he still remains a player that should be above criticism as a whole.
The Minnesota Twins may never win a World Series title with Joe Mauer, he may never drive in 100 runs, and he may never again hit 20 home runs. Outside of the home run mark, Twins fans can thank former GM Bill Smith for those revelations. Each of the former feats is largely dependent upon the team around a player, and Mauer can't control that.
In Minnesota, Twins fans are getting to experience a once in a generation player. A type of guy that doesn't come around often, and a guy that last an even shorter period of time. Sure, the Twins have some great prospects coming (Byron Buxton and Miguel Sano), but are you ready to claim either of them are the next prodigy before they see a major league pitch?
For his career, Joe Mauer checks in with a lifetime WAR of 45.0. Kirby Puckett finished his career with a WAR of 50.9. Mauer has four more years in the league before he hits 35, the age in which Puckett retired, the likelihood of him matching that mark as well looks very likely.
So Twins fans take a deep breath, relax, and enjoy the baseball greatness you are being treated to. Despite the missed games (which are deplorable), despite the poor teams around him of late, Joe Mauer is something you may never see again.

Senate to Obama: No recess appointments for you!
How about some late-night good news from Capitol Hill? Senate Republicans did something right, stood their ground, and forced Democrats to bow on blocking White House recess appointments during the midterm election break.
See? Saying no — HELL NO — can pay off. Via The Hill:
Senate Democrats agreed Wednesday night to a Republican demand to block President Obama from making recess appointments while Congress is out of town campaigning for the midterm elections.
Democratic leaders have agreed to schedule pro-forma sessions of the Senate every week over the next six weeks, a move that will prevent Obama from making emergency appointments, according to Senate sources briefed on the talks.
Democrats agreed earlier in the day to a Republican demand to cut spending levels for government agencies in order to pass a stop-gap spending measure.
Democrats are eager to get back home to defend their record to voters and they couldn't do that until the spending bill passed.
Under the law, the president can only make a recess appointment if the Senate is adjourned for more than three consecutive days.
By scheduling pro-forma sessions on Mondays and Fridays, lawmakers can take away Obama's ability to make recess appointments.
Which means no more stealthy, sunlight-evading cut-and-run appointments like Speedy Don Berwick for the next six weeks.
As for blaming the GOP for Senate obstructionism, it's not a Republican who put a hold on Obama's OMB nominee. Ahem:
A swift confirmation of President Obama's choice to lead the Office of Management and Budget appears unlikely as a Democratic senator said Wednesday she will maintain a hold on the nomination.
With lawmakers set to leave town for the midterm recess, Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.) will keep her hold on Jacob J. Lew's nomination as OMB director because of the Obama administration's "ill-conceived moratoria on offshore drilling that are having such a devastating impact on working people and small businesses through the Gulf Coast," she said.
"The administration, for whatever reason, has stood in defiance of our federal courts and disregarded economists, experts and its own economic data in proceeding down a path that is putting thousands of people out of work and hurting the bottom line of hundreds of small businesses," Landrieu said in a statement.
You can say that again, lady.
Afterthought: I know. Obama could go the Elizabeth Warren route, but I'm not sure he can afford to alienate any more Democrats on the Hill. Thoughts?

Oblivion Orrery Pack on XBLM
The Oblivion Orrery Pack, which includes (according to Gamespot) "a new quest with original dialogue, journals, and rewards, access to the eponymous dwarven machine in the Imperial City's Arcane University, and new character powers based on the phases of the moon" is now available on XBLM for 150 MS points. I was about to complain that the announcement above was annoyingly premature, when the phase of the download moon suddenly turned in our favor.
You can thank the Dwarven Gods because this add-on looks like a much better value than the over-priced horse armor that pissed off half of Tamriel. Is this pack worth the points?
[Thanks Nick]

Great job Kay!
Hard to imagine that the council will require it to go to a vote. The citizens of Pleasanton made it clear that they will support hillside protection with the outcome of the last election.

Pleasanton will vote for the homes. We will not stand in the way of progress like the few greedy Luddites who oppose this. This will also provide much needed tax revenue.

Tetris Blitz: The business of nostalgia
The perfect game gets a makeover, so it can make money
EA is about to launch Tetris Blitz, a new version of the classic block-falling puzzler, with a host of new features. Primarily, it's now fitted with a two-minute time limit: the idea is to get the highest score possible by place as many falling blocks as you can within the allotted time. While the old Tetris made you play until you died, this one won't let you die if your blocks reach the top, the final few rows disappear. All you're competing on is score.
The idea, of course, comes from Popcap's Blitz series of Facebook games which sought to condense the experience of 'match-three' puzzlers like Bejeweled and Zuma into coffee break-sized nuggets of satisfying gameplay.
It's all about creating an experience that befits the playtime of busy modern social networkers who just want something quick to play when they're on a bus, or the toilet. It's a pretty successful recipe.
At its peak, Bejeweled Blitz had around 10 million monthly active users on Facebook, and combining the Blitz framework with the Tetris brand is a massive (I can't believe I'm about to write this) no-brainer for EA.
But it also, let's face it, shatters the spirit of Tetris. Created by Russian programmer Alexey Pajitnov in 1984, this pitiless block-dropping puzzler (the original block dropping puzzler) is really a perfect game pure, easy to understand, but also enormously deep and compelling.
And like all the best arcade games it leads you toward inevitable death, however good you are, however lucky, the blocks will win.
How neat, how... perfect. Because all good experiences end this way.
You can't die in Tetris Blitz. You get two minutes. That's it. The game helps you by suggesting where you can place blocks just as Bejeweled lets you know which shapes to move if you have the temerity to ponder on it for too long.
There are Finishers, special moves that let you end a round with an explosive point-multiplying effect. And of course, as this is a free title, you can buy power-ups with real money.
I get it, I really do get it. But I also worry about it. Tetris has been reinvented dozens of times, of course; it is one of the great cash cows of the games industry.
It's sold over 125 million copies on countless platforms. Now it is just another franchise to be gilded with modern gaming mechanics.
Where will it lead? Pac-Man with in-game payments for fruit or extra power pills? Space Invaders where you hit a button to re-build your force fields? Defender with smart bombs available at one pound a time?
I don't want to whinge on about microtransactions they're an inevitability in an era where no one wants to pay for anything upfront.
The games industry has learned form the intransigence of its ruined friends in movies and music. If people don't want to pay, don't make them, but be sure to make payment available when they're already onboard.
No this is about something else. Something about what constitutes a game and the nature of challenge.
Sometimes people make awkward comparisons between the arcade model of rinsing players of their coins and the freemium model. Is a coin-op 'continue' a micro-transaction? Kind of. But the philosophy is somewhat different because the terms never change.
And it's not even about that. It's about Tetris and the hoops it must now jump through to speak to players.
It is about the business of nostalgia.
It is about remembering how perfect that game was. People playing for hours and then closing their eyes and seeing falling blocks. No one closes their eyes and sees paid-for power-ups.

Ever since it occurred I
Ever since it occurred I figured the burial at sea was done specifically so that there could never be an independent verification that it was in fact Bin Laden. What better way to make sure the facts cannot be verified?
Wikileaks, by the way, came out with some cables a while back related to this. I recall it was something about Bin Laden's body being somewhere stateside at the time when they said he was being buried at sea.
I suppose it's impossible to know the 100% truth, but at the very least we can be sure that we are not getting the whole story & possibly are being lied to.

Originally written on 60 Max Power O | Last updated 10/25/14
Even though I picked the Saints to win this one I was right about something. I said, unlike many so-called experts, that the Redskins could win this game and if they won the turnover battle they'd win the game. Well guess who won the turnover battle. Here's a hint, it wasn't the Saints. With 3:18 to go in the game the Skins held a 16 point lead over the defending NFC South champs and anyone who follows me on Twitter can attest to, I was still very much nervous. After all this was a team we saw blow their fair share of leads over the past four seasons (one of those to the Saints). However the boys in burgundy held on and won in decisive fashion. Is this big win in a place where the Saints didn't lose a single game last season a sign of things to come or just a young team overachieving? I honestly think it's a sign of things to come. With that said I'm not changing my prediction of 9-7 from last week but I think this team is going to play well for...

Breast Cancer Health Center
Breast Cancer Recurrence: What You Should Know
Importance of Sticking With the Plan continued...
In recent years, gene-based tests have allowed oncologists to also examine the "gene signature" of a tumor, which indicates recurrence risk. The newest such test is MammaPrint, which analyzes breast tumors for 70 cancer-related genes.
"We can pretty precisely predict 10-year probability of recurrence with gene profiles," Pegram tells WebMD. "These tests have revolutionized treatment planning for breast cancer patients."
Specific genes in the cancer cells tell oncologists how the tumor will grow, how likely the cancer is to recur, and generally how the tumor will behave. With this information, oncologists can shape treatment -- whether chemotherapy is necessary or not, and how aggressive it should be, he explains.
In this new era of breast cancer medicine, drugs and treatments can directly target specific types of cancer cells. Some drugs interfere with specific molecules involved in tumor growth. Others slow the growth of breast cancer cells that are fueled by the hormone estrogen. Others target the blood vessels that feed cancer cells.
That's why oncologists emphasize the need to stick with the treatment plan, Vogel explains. "All of this is about avoiding recurrence. The side effects of the drugs are a whole lot better than having breast cancer come back."
Toughing Out the Side Effects
Indeed, the side effects of breast cancer medications can be serious. On the telephone hotline at Living Beyond Breast Cancer (a not-for-profit agency), side effects are a common complaint. "We hear it all the time, women wanting to stop the medications because of side effects," says Caplan, who oversees the hotline.
"Doctors need to reinforce the fact that chemotherapy and other targeted therapies help to kill microscopic cancer cells, to prevent a recurrence," Caplan tells WebMD. "If you quit treatment, you don't know you've given yourself the full benefit. Talking about it will help women who are struggling to stay the course."
In recent years, studies have found that women are quitting two types of hormone therapy drugs -- aromatase inhibitors (Femara, Aromasin and Arimidex) and the anti-estrogen drug tamoxifen -- because of side effects.
One study suggested that nearly one-half of women taking aromatase inhibitors quit because of severe muscle aches and joint pains. The drugs block an enzyme the body uses to make estrogen, which fuels some breast cancers. They can substantially slash the risk of recurrence if taken for the prescribed length of time.
Another study showed that, although a five-year course of tamoxifen is typically recommended, some women took the drug for less than three years. One in 10 women filled 70% or fewer of their tamoxifen prescriptions -- which increased their risk of death by 16%. Women were not asked why they stopped taking tamoxifen, but it is known to cause difficult hot flashes, researchers note.
