Dartmoor Landscape
Purple, heather clad moorland, wide open landscapes, rushing rivers and obscure stone tors shape Dartmoor...
Welcome to Dartmoor
Search Accommodation
Situated in the south west of England in the county of Devon, Dartmoor is a landscape of stunning views, awe inspiring granite tors, deep wooded valleys with fast flowing rivers, and rugged, wide open spaces.
Covering an area of 368 square miles and containing the highest land in Southern England (High Willhays at 2037ft), people have been drawn to this breath taking area for millennia.
Once home to a thriving tin and copper-mining industry and the source of much of the granite used to build its satellite villages and towns, Dartmoor's history is diverse and deep. The many Neolithic and Bronze Age villages and fields which dot the slopes of its hills have huge archaeological significance; in fact, Dartmoor is home to more Bronze Age remains than anywhere else in the UK. For those interested in Prehistory there are Menhirs, Stone Circles and Stone Rows dotted all over the moor. The recent discovery of a Bronze Age grave on Whitehorse Hill made international news.
More recently, Dartmoor has been the source for much superb literature. Arthur Conan Doyle's famous Sherlock Holmes story The Hound of the Baskervilles was based on the moor (around the infamous Dartmoor Prison) and both poet Ted Hughes and famous crime writer Agatha Christie were inspired here.
War Horse - The Movie
"I have never before, in my long and eclectic career, been gifted with such an abundance of natural beauty as I experienced filming War Horse on Dartmoor .. And, with two-and-a-half-weeks of extensive coverage of landscapes and skies, I hardly scratched the surface of the visual opportunities that were offered to me". Film Director, Steven Spielberg
Inspired by the book written by Michael Morpurgo, War Horse, tells the story of a Devon farm boy who braves the trenches in a search for his horse Joey after it is sent to France as an army horse during the First World War. Richard Curtis and Lee Hall adapted Michael Morpurgo's novel for the big screen.
A National Park since 1951, Dartmoor is still very much a working environment. Sheep, cattle and ponies are raised here, and create a wonderful sight for the visitors, particularly in the spring and summer months when the foals are being born. They all play a vital part in maintaining the accessibility of the moor, by grazing and crushing down the gorse in particular.
Nowadays, Dartmoor is the focus for all kinds of leisure activities. From spectacular walks to organised pony treks, from camping to climbing and cycling, there's something for everyone.
For those who prefer something slightly less adventurous, there are plenty of opportunities for culture, arts and crafts, music, pub lunches, traditional cream teas and high end dining in the picturesque Dartmoor towns and villages which are dotted all over and around the moor itself.

Customer Raves & Reviews
a note card is not a "card"
I ordered for the first time but the dimensions were not clear to me. When the "cards" arrived they were note size and clearly too small to send to anyone as an announcement. I called and explained the problem and the representative explained it all to me and retook the order. I was only charged the extra printing costs. The card did look nice but it is too small. I hope to enjoy the new cards that will come as a standard card size.
Love the idea of the magnet
I asked for changes on the magnet images. I wanted them bigger. You were very accommodating. If I had any complaint at all, it would be that i ordered linen first...thought I was ordering a magnets. I was not knowledgable enough to know that I was ordering the wrong thing. But overall, I am very satisfied with the product.

Take Nothing Good for Granted
John K. Roth, esteemed professor and distinguished scholar, will address members of the freshmen class at a special dinner welcoming them to Claremont McKenna College. All members of the Class of 2005 are automatically signed up for the dinner, and therefore must call the Athenaeum (ext. 18244) to cancel the reservation in order to eat in Collins Dining Hall.
Professor Roth is the Russell K. Pitzer Professor of Philosophy at CMC, where he has taught since 1966. He returned to CMC this fall after a sabbatical year that took him to England. There he held the Koerner Fellowship for Study of the Holocaust at the Oxford Centre for Hebrew and Jewish Studies. Earlier sabbatical opportunities have taken him to Switzerland, Austria, Japan, Israel, and Norway as well as to Harvard and Yale. This year, Roth will chair CMC's Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies. He will also continue to teach in the College's Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE) program, which he has done since its founding in the mid-1980s.
In addition to service on the United States Holocaust Memorial Council in Washington, D.C., and on the editorial board for Holocaust and Genocide Studies and other scholarly journals, Roth has written, coauthored, or edited more than thirty books, including The Questions of Philosophy (1998), Private Needs, Public Selves: Talk about Religion in America (1997), Ethics after the Holocaust: Perspectives, Critiques, and Responses (1999), and major contributions to The Holocaust Chronicle (2000). His most recent book, Holocaust Politics, will appear in October. Roth's awards include his being named the 1988 U.S. National Professor of the Year by the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) and the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching.
Professor Roth's experiences at CMC and as a Holocaust scholar will be the points of departure for his Athenaeum talk. Persons wishing to attend just the lecture may arrive at 6:45 p.m. for a live remote broadcast into Parents Library
Pour Out Your Heart Like Water: Toward a Feminist Theology of the Holocaust
This year marks the thirtieth anniversary of the publication of Rachel Adler's article, "The Jew Who Wasn't There." Adler, then a graduate student at the University of Minnesota, spoke about the marginalization of women in traditional Judaism and their exclusion from many of the fundamental religious rituals, such as prayer and Torah study, and called upon Jewish scholars to take seriously the charge to "examine our problem anew, right now, with open minds and with empathy." The short but influential article, reprinted numerous times, propelled Adler to the forefront of the Jewish feminism movement. Since then Adler has continued to write about and reshape the rituals that structure Jewish life, particularly for women.
Adler, one of Judaism's leading theological voices, received her doctorate from the University of Southern California in religion and social ethics and now is associate professor at Hebrew Union College in Los Angeles. In 1998, Adler published Engendering Judaism: An Inclusive Theology and Ethics, which, through a careful study of texts and traditions on Jewish law, liturgy, and the ethics of sexuality and relationship, proposes new ways of "thinking about and practicing Judaism that men and women recreate and renew together as equals." Recently, Adler has turned her attention to the study of the Holocaust and to examining whether a Holocaust theology needs to be gendered at all, and, if so, what resources in the tradition can ground its form and discourse.
Professor Adler comes to the Athenaeum as the first speaker in the fall 2001 series "Judaism: Learning from the Past, Learning for the Future." Other speakers include Samuel Freedman (Columbia University), author of Jew vs. Jew: The Struggle for the Soul of American Jewry (2000) (October 30) and Adam Rubin (Hebrew Union College), expert on Zionism, its founding, and the emergence of post-Zionist thought (November 6).
Are the Media Giants Taking Over?
From the heart of the entertainment beast, Brian Lowry, television columnist for the Los Angeles Times, will give the first in a series of talks sponsored by the Family of Benjamin Z. Gould Center for Humanistic Studies. For the series, "Art and Democracy," special program director Martha Bayles has engaged several participants who will explore a number of questions, including some that are central to contemporary culture: Is artistic excellence achievable within a democratic society? What have been the effects, positive and negative, of electronic media and cultural diversity on the arts, high and low? Is commercialized popular culture the mirror image of totalitarian "people's culture" or a viable alternative to it? Lowry will provide a sharp critical look at the potential cultural impact of media consolidation.
Before coming to the Times, where he covers the television industry and writes a weekly column analyzing industry trends, Brian Lowry served as West Coast television editor for the entertainment trade newspaper Daily Variety, where he covered the network television beat, reviewed movies, and wrote the award-winning column, "Changing Channels." His first book, The Truth is Out There: The Official Guide to the X-Files (1995), became a New York Times bestseller, and was followed by a second companion guide, Trust No One: The Official Guide to the X-Files: Third Season (1996).
Faculty-Student Debate
Resolved: This House Would Pay Reparations for Slavery
Freed slaves were once promised "forty acres and a mule"-compensation for a legacy of unjust enrichment by states, private businesses, and individual slaveholders. For nearly 150 years, the legal merits of this and other restitution for slavery were considered but no definite remedy ever emerged. Recent reparations to survivors of the Holocaust and for the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II has energized a slavery reparations movement, including a call by the California legislative assembly for federal action on the issue.
The controversies related to the legal principles, amount of compensation, and the identification of responsible parties and recipients are vexing. These controversies form the foundation of a faculty-student debate on the topic, "This House would pay reparations for slavery."
The featured participant in the event is Charles R. Kesler, professor of government and director of the Henry Salvatori Center at Claremont McKenna College. He received his A.B. (in Social Studies, 1978) and his A.M. and Ph.D. (in Government, 1985) from Harvard University. His new edition of The Federalist Papers (1999) has just been published by Penguin-Putnam Books. He is co-editor, with William F. Buckley, Jr., of Keeping the Tablets: Modern American Conservative Thought (1988 Harper Row).
Current and former members of the Debate Union will participate in the debate. Andrea Fitanides, CMC, 'O1, recently served as student summer faculty at debate workshops in Estonia, Slovenia, and Russia. She is the student director of an educational outreach program supporting debate activities in schools in economically marginalized communities.
Brendan Behan, CMC '02, is a Chicano Studies major, with a focus on gender and feminist studies. He won the 2000 National Round Robin Debate Championship, an event featuring the top ten debate teams in the United States. In addition, he participated in he first college Spanish-language debates in the U.S.
Benjamin Hoyt, POM, '00, is a software developer in Pasadena. Among his many team and individual honors, he placed in the top ten at the national parliamentary debate championship.
The annual faculty-student debate will feature a modification of parliamentary debate, a form emphasizing serious extemporaneous argument and a witty, oratorical style. Audience participation, including heckling, is encouraged. Please join us for what promises to be a challenging and entertaining debate.
Without Mercy: The Moroccan Origins of Nationalist Strategy in the Spanish Civil War
The Spanish Civil War was a very brutal affair, and many soldiers and civilians alike had lost their lives by the time Generalismo Francisco Franco's troops emerged triumphant in 1939. In their contributions to Franco's victory, military forces from Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy launched air raids on crowded cities and used Stuka dive- bombers for close air support in ways that foreshadowed the horrors of World War II.
In his Athenaeum address, Geoffrey Jensen argues that the deadly new methods of the foreign forces in Spain should not overshadow the extreme brutality exhibited by Spanish armies themselves in the war. Jensen makes the case that Franco, in particular, waged a ferocious war against enemy soldiers and civilians, often refusing to exploit tactical gains on the battlefield until he had thoroughly "cleansed" occupied areas of all possible political and military resistance. Many critics have charged that Franco's murderous policies behind the front lines not only further increased the number of civilian dead, but also needlessly delayed his final victory.
Jensen proposes that the earlier experiences of Franco and other military officers in the savage wars of Morocco greatly influenced the ways in which they waged the Spanish Civil War. The fighting in Morocco-comparable in some ways to U.S. intervention in Vietnam-colored subsequent Spanish military thinking as well as notions of national identity, culture, religion, and race. These ideas-military and nonmilitary alike-combined with popular cultural constructions of the Moroccan "Other" to help shape the character of the Spanish Civil War.
Geoffrey Jensen (Ph.D. Yale University, 1995) is co-director of the Center for the Study of War and Society and associate professor of history at the University of Southern Mississippi. A former visiting senior lecturer at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in Great Britain, he is the author of Irrational Triumph: Cultural Despair, Military Nationalism, and the Ideological Origins of Franco's Spain (forthcoming in November 2001) and co-editor, with Andrew Wiest, of War in the Age of Technology: Myriad Faces of Modern Armed Conflict (2001).
Thailand, Timbuktu, and Tuskegee: Should Research Ethics Stop at the Border?
Nazi atrocities during the Second World War led to the formulation of the Nuremberg Code, which articulated guidelines for experimentation involving human subjects. This document, along with the World Medical Association's Declaration of Helsinki in 1964, established the international standard for safeguarding the well-being of experimental subjects.
In recent years, several investigations focusing on the transmission and treatment of HIV/AIDS have been conducted in developing countries by American universities and pharmaceutical houses. These often employ research protocols that would be prohibited in this country by U.S. ethical standards, and raise new bioethical challenges as the pharmaceutical industry increasingly turns toward the developing world for subjects on which to test new drugs. Scientists, ethicists, and public health workers are grappling to find appropriate ethical guidelines for this new era.
Professor Meg Mathies has taught biology in the Joint Science Department of Claremont McKenna, Pitzer, and Scripps, Colleges since 1965. She does research on the cellular interactions in the immune response and is a co-author of several papers in immunology. In addition to teaching classes in Introductory Biology, Genetics, and Immunology, she has for many years co-taught a course in Bioethics with Philosophy Professor Steve Smith. This lecture is part of an ongoing series of lectures by CMC faculty titled Faculty Ideas in Progress.
Pierre Cruzatte: A Musical Journey on the Lewis and Clark Trail
Formerly a musician with the nationally-known Aman Folk Ensemble, Daniel Slosberg has been playing the fiddle since the age of five. In 1997, Ken Burns' Lewis and Clark documentary aired on PBS, and Slosberg's life changed forever. Upon learning that Lewis and Clark had a fiddle player, Slosberg embarked upon his own "voyage of discovery," learning everything he could about Pierre Cruzatte-the one-eyed, half-French, half-Omaha Indian Missouri River boatman and fiddler who helped lead the expedition.
Slosberg was particularly struck with the importance of music, song, and dance, both as entertainment for the explorers and as a diplomatic tool with the many Indian nations the expedition met along the trail. Playing fiddle" jaw harp, bones, spoons, and other period instruments, with humorous and moving stories about the journey, Slosberg brings this historic voyage to life.
Daniel Slosberg lives in Los Angeles with his wife, Deborah, and their four children. He also plays with the Turtle Creek contra dance band, with whom he has performed since 1989.
The Athenaeum will be hosting a series of programs devoted to Folk Music of America, of which this evening's performance is the first.

Afternoon tea begins Monday, September 10th and is open every weekday from 3:00 to 4:30 p.m. Pastry chef Sid Vichaita has already begun baking his famous cookies, cakes, and pastries for this anticipated occasion.
It is also a pleasure to introduce Dana Gavre and David Murphy, chosen by the Athenaeum Advisory Committee to serve as Student Fellows for the academic year 20012002. The Fellows play a major role in shaping the direction of the programming at the Athenaeum, having the opportunity to explore their own creative ideas as well as serving as liaison to CMC students.
Dana, a sophomore from Waukesha, Wisconsin, is a literature and legal studies major. She hopes to give more prominence to fine arts in the Athenaeum calendar. David, from Chevy Chase, Maryland, is also a sophomore and contemplates a major in government, music, or religious studies. With this range of interests-recently expanded after a summer job working with a space tourism company-David looks forward to meeting new students anc seeing old friends.
The Athenaeum's mission is to enhance the intellectual life and add to the richness of your experience at CMC. Come enjoy the fun.

Distinguished by an interchangeable stripe, the Super Ego is our largest messenger bag. (It's bigger than both the ID and Ego messenger bags.) If you need to carry a big laptop, camera gear, and/or a ton of other stuff, the Super Ego is the right bag for you.
Under the front flap, on both the right and the left, are zippered pockets that are accessible with the flap open or closed. These pockets have #8 YKK Aquaguard® water-repellent zippers. On top of these zippered pockets are two open-top wallet-sized pockets. All zippered pockets on the Super Ego feature strong, easy-to-grab zipper pulls. On either side of the zippered pockets are small stretch-mesh pockets with an open top — great for storing pens or other small items.
Behind the zippered pockets is a large open pouch that spans the width of the bag and features organizer pockets for your pens, iPhone, and wallet. You'll also find several
Behind the front flap and pouch is the zippered main compartment, so you don't have to unbuckle the main flap closure to access your laptop and other stuff. This large compartment closes with a #10 YKK Aquaguard® water-repellent zipper. Inside are removable Annex Clips designed to secure all sizes of the optional Horizontal Brain Cell hard-sided laptop case against the back panel of the bag. The Horizontal Brain Cell is available in sizes designed specifically for Apple laptops and PC laptops; we recommend consulting our Laptop Bag Fit Guide to find the appropriate size of Brain Cell for your laptop. Note that the Super Ego is the only bag large enough to house the Size 2XL Brain Cell, designed for large 17" PC laptops. Also able to clip securely inside the Super Ego via Annex Clips is our Camera I-O (Insert-Outsert), a padded case to protect your DSLR and lenses. The Camera I-O can also be used as a great, stand-alone, shoot-from-the-hip photo bag. A smaller version of the Super Ego — the Ego — is available.
The back and bottom of the main compartment of the Super Ego are padded for your comfort and to help the bag maintain its shape and structure, even when it's full of stuff.
On the left and right sides of the Super Ego are unobtrusive water bottle pockets; they have compression straps so you can snug them down when not in use.
The back exterior of the Super Ego features an open, flat back pocket perfect for even the thickest magazines or newspapers, and a removable 1-1/2" webbing waist strap for extra stability when you're on your bike (motor or push).
You can choose between three different shoulder straps to use with the Super Ego. The Standard Shoulder Strap, included in the price of the Super Ego, is a 1-1/2" wide heavy nylon webbing strap. It features a comfortable, wide foam pad that won't slip off your shoulder and is designed to conform to your shoulder and back. For an extra $15.00, you can switch out the Standard Shoulder Strap and replace it with the Q-AM (Quick-Adjust Messenger) Shoulder Strap. Or, for an extra $20.00, you get the Absolute Shoulder Strap instead of the Standard Shoulder Strap. Most people will be satisfied with just one kind of shoulder strap, but, should you choose to do so, you can purchase more than one kind of shoulder strap and switch between them.
The handle is constructed of our U.S. made, 1050 denier, high tenacity ballistic nylon — wrapped around high quality, 1/2" thick PORON® foam — with a "just right" center of gravity, so you'll carry the Super Ego as effortlessly as you carry a typical briefcase.
For added visibility when using the Super Ego while on your bike, we offer the optional Guardian Light which can be attached via a belt clip to the front of the bag on one of the webbing strips that secure the interchangeable front stripe in place. When not in use as a safety light, the Guardian Light can be used as an interior bag light.
A tiger can't change its stripes, but a Super Ego can: the Super Ego's front flap closes with a 2" wide heavy-duty plastic Duraflex® Warrior buckle that attaches to the bag with an interchangeable piece of hook and loop material (like Velcro®). These Duraflex® Warrior buckle stripes come in a variety of colors and materials — a stripe weighs 1.1 oz. One stripe is included with your Super Ego; you can order additional stripes for $5.00 each on this page (or here).
If you get a new job or have a midlife crisis, you don't have to get a whole new bag: just a new stripe.

As reviewed by Gear Patrol magazine:
"The SuperEgo isn�t just a messenger bag. It�s a well thought out commuter gear haven that the minds at Tom Bihn actually took the time to truly think about. If you�re looking for a messenger/laptop/commuter bag that is as tough as nails, solidly made and wonderfully personal, look no further. Tom Bihn�s got it nailed. It�s a SuperEgo stroke of the highest order. We suggest you take it for a spin. You won�t know what you did without it." Read the full review.
As reviewed by Bicycle Times magazine:
"At first, I was a bit skeptical of the Super Ego as an on-the-bike kinda bag, wrongly assuming that it might be yet another �messenger-style� bag that wasn�t actually well designed to wear on a bike. I�m happy to report that my initial assumption couldn�t be further from the truth. This bag is actually far more comfortable than some other bags I�ve used, thanks to the padded back and very comfy padded shoulder strap. In conjunction with the Brain Cell, this set-up makes carrying my laptop to and from work a much more comfortable and secure operation." Read the full review.
Want to read more reviews? Here's our complete list of external bag reviews.
My Super Ego is stuffed
"I received my bags much earlier than my laptop, and was very impressed with the construction. I proceeded to start filling it with all of the stuff that I like to carry back and forth to work every day. I am a self-professed geek and prefer to carry quite a bevy of cables, adapters and tools (for geek emergencies). The bag carried well and had plenty of pockets for my doodads. I received my laptop a couple of days ago and loaded everything into the Super Ego. Since the laptop is large, and the power brick is about 3X the size of the standard, it eats up a lot of the room in the back compartment. However I did still manage to stuff a full size external CD enclosure and a mouse in there with it. Filling the rear compartment with extras does make the front compartment a bit tighter. In there I carry my half-full snake charmer, organizer and CD case as well as a screwdriver set and multi-tool. The front two zipper pockets are filled with lights (head mounted, flashlight and book light) and tea bags, respectively. Finally the outside front pockets contain my iPod and cell phone, leaving the rear document pocket for a magazine and some documentation." — posted by robotguy
First impressions of the Super Ego
"Size: Exactly. I developed some trepidation about the size after reading certain comments on this forum and elsewhere, and thought "Gee, it seemed like a good size when I tried one out before ..." The size is exactly as I remember it. Large, but not outlandish. (I'm medium build, medium height -- 5'10"). " — posted by timothy
Super Ego Arrives
"So yeah, I've gushed on long enough about this new bag, the Super Ego. I don't really have anything negative to say, except maybe for a few wish list add-ons like the supple Ultrasuede-lined pockets and maybe an additional zippered pocket where the flap is (features I found very useful on the ID). But regardless, I was really glad I made the purchase for I think I may have finally found the perfect bag in terms of everything." — posted by lpotr4
Super Ego Review
"The front of the bag, under the flap is wonderful. That main compartment is large enough for me to hold everything I need at a quick grab. The two front pockets can hold pencils and small cases (in my case, a caselogic USB drive holder.) The side zippered pockets that go behind those front pockets are spacious, and obviously the Wasabi Cordura looks beautiful as usual. One of the pockets holds a Mini + Small padded organizer pouches, and the other holds a clear small plus my Macbook charger."

Republic P-47D 'Thunderbolt'
Courtesy of the National Museum of the United States Air Force
Nicknamed the "Jug" because of its fuselage shape, the P-47 was the heaviest single-engine, single-place fighter built in its time. It became a legend in World War II, used by the US and its allies on many fronts. Following D-Day in France, it performed magnificently in ground support through the end of the war.
The P-47's designer was Alexander Kartveli who became one of the most significant, innovative and influential aircraft designers not only in the U.S. but in the world. His other designs included for Republic the F-84 'Thunderjet' and F-84F 'Thunderstreak,' the F-105 'Thunderchief,' the RC-3 'Seabee,' and for Fairchild the A-10 'Thunderbolt II.' You can learn more about Mr. Kartveli and his designs at www.alexanderkartveli.com.
The two top fighter pilots of the war in Europe flew Thunderbolts, bearing testimony to the P-47's success in combat. The fighter-bomber carried eight lethal 50-caliber machine guns and could lift a 2,500 lb. bomb load and still absorb heavy damage and make it back to home base. Drop tanks allowed it to extend its range.
This "D" variant, made in the greatest numbers, featured a clear bubble canopy that allowed 360 degree visibility. Pilots often said that P-47s "had the gliding angle of a brick."
This artifact wears the colors of the 65th Fighter Squadron, 57th Fighter Group, a Bradley Field unit which went to combat in North Africa, Italy and Germany.

Lockheed CEO-elect Kubasik resigns after ethics probe
Friday - 11/9/2012, 6:55pm EST
Christopher Kubasik, Lockheed Martin's president, chief operating officer and CEO-elect, resigned Friday after an ethics probe revealed a personal relationship with a subordinate employee, the company announced.
Lockheed's board of directors asked for Kubasik's resignation.
The board named Marillyn Hewson, the executive vice president of the company's Electronic Systems unit, the president and COO effective immediately. Hewson will also become the CEO in January 2013. Kubasik had been slated to become the company's chief executive, taking over for retiring Bob Stevens.
Lockheed said Kubasik's actions violated the company's code of ethics.
Lockheed's response "demonstrates our unyielding commitment to holding every employee accountable for their actions," Stevens said in a statement. "Fortunately, we have a strong leadership team and a robust succession plan that allowed the board and me to react quickly and appropriately to this situation."
The board named Stevens executive chairman to work alongside Hewson to "facilitate a smooth CEO transition."
Hewson, a veteran Lockheed employee, joined the company in 1983.

HAVELOCK – Friday truly was Senior Night at Havelock High School, as Ram upperclassmen turned in big play after big play in a 57-0 Coastal 3A Conference victory over Swansboro.
Senior Matthew Boykin scored three touchdowns, senior running backs Derrell Scott and Taylor Woods tallied scores, and senior twins Jordan and Julian Cuthbertson each recovered a fumble in a dominating Havelock performance.
Havelock coach Jim Bob Bryant said he got choked up when he brought up his seniors to the front of the locker room before the game.
"Every one of them that dressed out tonight started and played key roles in the game," Bryant said. "It's a great group of seniors, and we're really going to miss them not only as players, but also as people and leaders of our football team."
And it was senior Julian Cuthbertson who got the top-ranked Rams (8-0, 3-0) going early, recovering a fumble when Swansboro (5-3, 1-2) tried a hook-and-ladder trick play on its first possession.
"I saw him catch the ball, and he tried to pitch it, so I just hit him before he could pitch it and the ball landed on the ground," Julian Cuthbertson said. "I noticed it and just jumped on it."
The fumble recovery helped set up Travis Sabdo's 31-yard touchdown pass to Kyran Bowman for Havelock's opening score just 1:37 into the game.
Boykin returned a Swansboro punt 51 yards for a touchdown, and Joey Godette then tackled Swansboro's Deandre Thompkins in the end zone for a safety, giving Havelock a 15-0 lead with 3:45 left in the first quarter. After the free kick, Sabdo threw 10 yards to Boykin for a 22-0 Havelock lead after the first quarter.
"I thought we played really well, offense, defense and special teams," Bryant said. "We scored in all three phases again. Defense got a safety, we had a punt return for a touchdown and scored on offense. Anytime you get a special teams touchdown and defensive points, that's usually pretty good."
Jordan Cuthbertson recovered his fumble in the second quarter, setting up Derrell Scott's 14-yard touchdown run.
"The receiver ran an out route and caught it," he said. "I tried to come in and make the hit. I wrapped the guy up, and I thought the play was over, and I turned around and saw the ball laying there spinning, and I just jumped on it before it went out of bounds."
Woods added a 3-yard TD run as Havelock led 36-0 at halftime.
"That's a back-to-back state championship team for a reason," Swansboro coach Tim Laspada said. "They're a great coaching staff over there, probably one of the better ones in the state, and Coach (Jim Bob) Bryant has them going good, and I wish them the best."
In the third quarter, Sabdo threw 19 yards to Boykin for a score, and Taron Wallace and Montrece Gatling added rushing touchdowns, providing the final margin in Havelock's 22nd consecutive victory.
For Havelock's seniors, it was their 50th victory on an emotional night.
"It was kind of sad at first," Jordan Cuthberton said of Senior Night. "But, the team played great and we came away with a win, so it's not sad anymore."
Bryant said his seniors should be commended for what they've done on the field and off.
"I'm just happy for our seniors," he said. "I've got a good group of seniors, good leaders, and all of them are great kids. I made sure I told them in the locker room that I've never had a call from a teacher about any of those guys cutting up in class. I've never had to worry about their grades. I've never had to worry about them getting in trouble in school. They're just a real good core group of seniors, and we're going to miss them."
Havelock is scheduled to play White Oak at 7 p.m. Friday in Jacksonville.

Authorities say a Gaston County man was shot and killed at a Cleveland County smoke shop Thursday and they continue to search for a suspect.
James Scott Davis, 43, of the Dallas area was killed after a suspected armed robbery attempt at Smoker's Etc., according to the Cleveland County Sheriff's Office.
Smoker's Etc. is off East Dixon Boulevard between Shelby and Kings Mountain.
Sheriff's deputies were at the site Friday gathering information in an attempt to locate the suspect.
"The investigation is still fully active and we are following all leads and possible avenues," Sheriff Alan Norman said Friday. "It's very tragic and unfortunate. He left behind a wife and several children."
'He wasn't but 45 years old'
Davis, an employee of Smoker's Etc., was found by friends who stopped by the store, Norman said.
Davis's father, Tommy Davis, visited the store Friday.
Tommy Davis told Gazette news partner WSOC-TV he worked with his son and could have been the one working during the robbery.
"I don't know what happened," he said. "All I know is my son is dead and he wasn't but 45 years old."
Searching for information
Davis's death was the result of at least one gunshot wound, Norman said.
The sheriff said Smoker's Etc. does not have surveillance video to aid in the investigation but he said authorities will survey video from surrounding businesses for clues.
"Early indications appear that the shooting took place during a robbery," Norman said.
Authorities are offering a $2,500 reward for information that helps lead to an arrest in the case.
Authorities were already investigating store
Smoker's Etc. sold what is known as "synthetic marijuana," according to authorities. The product is like potpourri sprayed with chemicals, and it is as addictive and potent as methamphetamine or cocaine, said Sheriff's Office Capt. Joel Shores.
"In February we obtained warrants for Smoker's Etc. and took samples of the potpourri," Shores said. "The store sold items such as (synthetic drugs) bath salts, potpourri and items of that culture."
The samples were sent to the State Bureau of Investigation lab, and authorities are still awaiting results, Shores said.
According to previous reports, H. Alan Pell, staff attorney for the N.C. General Assembly said that all synthetic forms of marijuana are illegal in North Carolina.
But, according to Norman, that's not where the issue ends.
"It's a cat-and-mouse game of the manufacturer removing one ingredient from the compound whenever it's deemed in violation of the general statute," Norman previously said. "It's ever-changing. (The law) covered it at that day at that moment."
"But at the end of the day, regardless of what was sold, a needless life has been taken," Norman said Friday. "And it is our responsibility to bring that to justice."
Have information to help authorities?
The sheriff's office, along with CrimeStoppers, is offering a $2,500 reward for information that helps lead to an arrest in the case.
If you have information, call 704-481-TIPS or the sheriff's office at 704-484-4822.
Incident timeline
About 6 p.m. – Friends find a man shot at Smoker's Etc. off East Dixon Boulevard and notify authorities.
About 6:15 p.m. – Authorities arrive at the scene of the shooting between Shelby and Kings Mountain
About 7 p.m. – Sheriff Alan Norman confirms a man died in shooting.
About 8 p.m. – Norman tells the media early investigations indicate the shooting happened as part of an armed robbery.
Overnight Thursday/Friday – Investigators continue to gather information at the scene. A search for information and the suspect continues into Friday.

Kent State Receives Largest In-Kind Gift in Its HistoryPosted Jan. 15, 2009
The Kent State College of Technology has received the largest in-kind gift in university history from Appropriate Technology, authorized Solutions Partner to Siemens' PLM Software, with a commercial value of more than $13.5 million.
PLM — or product lifecycle management — software enables product developers to take a product through all design steps, from concept through engineering and manufacturing. Appropriate Technology's gift provides 30 licenses of Siemens' Academic Partner Bundle — consisting of Solid Edge, Femap, TeamCenter and NX software — which includes more than 60 programs across a range of development processes.
College of Technology students will be able to learn critical industry skills in design, engineering and manufacturing on the same software they likely will use when employed following graduation.
"Before this generous gift, we often could only tell students about the most current technology in industry processes," says Dr. Verna Fitzsimmons, interim dean of the college. "With this software, we now can not only show them, but give them practical experience using programs that make them more marketable in their careers."
This software will allow the College of Technology to expand its curriculum in the future to stay in step with the dynamic nature of today's industrial processes. Appropriate Technology's contribution fits within Kent State's vision of boosting the region's economy by educating students to develop skills that increase innovation.
"The future of Northeast Ohio's economy relies heavily on entrepreneurs who bring fresh ideas to both the manufacturing and service sectors," says Kent State President Lester A. Lefton. "By giving our students access to this package of high-tech tools, they will graduate ready to become leaders and attract industry investment in the region."
The Siemens software was demonstrated to faculty and staff at an event on the Kent Campus on Dec. 16, 2008.
"We have enjoyed a successful partnership with the College of Technology. The staff truly understands how education and industry can work together to benefit the community. Frankly, they get it," says Rich Tenaglia, entrepreneur and owner of Appropriate Technology, Inc. "Now, on behalf of our principal, Siemens PLM Software, we thrilled to offer this grant."
Appropriate Technology, a regional company serving design, engineering and manufacturing clients in four states, previously provided a $650,000 gift to the college of 3-D computer-aided design software.
Siemens PLM Software is a leading global supplier of product lifecycle management (PLM) software and services with more that 3.1 million licensed seats and 42,000 clients worldwide.

The evolution of endoscopy towards minimally invasive therapeutics has improved the care of patients with a variety of gastrointestinal disorders, especially GI cancers. ERCP is now primarily a therapeutic modality and the therapeutic potential of EUS is being explored. Training is EUS and ERCP is challenging and requires proficiency in endoscopic skills, interpretation of radiologic imaging, and understanding the pathophysiology and treatment of both benign and malignant disorders. The goal of the advanced endoscopy fellowship at WFBMC is to produce experts in therapeutic endoscopy who will provide exceptional patient care and continue the work needed to move this exciting field forward.
Fellows may choose either EUS or combined EUS and ERCP training (see Fellowship Structure below). EUS training is under the guidance of Girish Mishra MD, MS, Jason Conway, MD, MPH, Rishi Pawa, MD and John A. (Jerry) Evans, MD. The EUS program at WFBMC is one of the busiest in the southeast, performing nearly 1200 procedures annually. Fellows will be trained to proficiency in all aspects of EUS including cancer staging, FNA, intraductal ultrasound, as well as exposure to combined EUS/ERCP procedures in patients with complex pancreatobiliary disorders. ERCP training is under the guidance of Rishi Pawa, MD and John A. (Jerry) Evans, MD. Fellows will be trained in all aspects of diagnostic and therapeutic ERCP including sphincterotomy, stent placement, cyst-enterotomy, and sphincter of Oddi manometry. Exposure to interpreting cross-sectional imaging techniques for investigating hepatobiliary and pancreatic disorders will also be provided. Fellows may also have exposure to EMR, double-balloon enteroscopy, and potentially even novel NOTES procedures. A new advanced endoscopy unit completed in 2005 and renovated in 2008 features the latest EUS and ERCP technology. Fellows will provide biliary and therapeutic endoscopy consultative service to inpatients and participate in clinical and research conferences including interdisciplinary radiology and pathology conferences and tumor board.
Fellows will be expected to further develop clinical research and writing skills throughout their advanced endoscopy training. As part of the advanced endoscopy team, fellows will be expected to actively participate in ongoing prospective studies (including animal studies in the Developmental GI Endoscopy Animal Laboratory) and complete at least one retrospective study. Fellows will be supported to present their research at national and international meetings. There are also opportunities to write reviews, case reports, and book chapters.
The advanced endoscopy fellowship is typically 1 year if only EUS training is desired; however this may be extended for those who have specific interests or needs. Six to eight months will be spent on the EUS service. There will be 2-3 months of dedicated research time. If ERCP training is also desired, an additional minimum of 6 months on the ERCP service will be required. Therefore, the total length of the combined EUS and ERCP fellowship will be at least 18 months. Funding for advanced endoscopy fellowships remains a challenge; therefore the remaining 3-4 months will be general GI service time for salary support. General GI service duties will vary based on the clinical needs of the Section, but may include outpatient endoscopy, clinic, inpatient consult attending, participating in the attending call rotation, and supervision of fellows in clinic. Advanced fellows are typically appointed to junior faculty positions at the instructor level and earn a salary at the PGY 7 or 8 levels.

Zack was one of about 150 Jack Russell Terriers and Shiba Inus we rescued from a Michigan puppy mill earlier this year. After rescue, he needed surgery on his eyes—but he also needed extensive behavior help.
ASPCA behavior expert Kristen Collins was at the rescue to help remove dogs from the property, and she noticed Zack right away. He shook violently as he crouched in terror, his eyes wide. When Collins approached his enclosure, he bolted for the broken crate that was his only shelter from the elements.
"He looked like the most fearful dog on the property," Collins remembers. She knew Zack's best hope was intensive treatment at our Rehab Center for puppy mill and hoarding survivors.
When Zack arrived at the Rehab Center, his behavior was no different than the first time Collins saw him quake with fear at her approach. He cowered in the back of his space, ears flat and body low. And yet—after a few days, though he remained skeptical about human touch, Zack began to tentatively wag his tail at the sight of familiar people.
Today, Zack has been adopted and is part of a loving family. We wanted to show you the amazing progress Zack made during his time with us—please watch his video below.
We also wanted to thank those of you who have given to the ASPCA. Zack's recovery wouldn't be possible without you. If you haven't given recently, you can do so here to help other animals like Zack. Thank you!
My understanding is they work with these dogs and rehab all they can. Where did you hear they euthanize most of them?
The ASPCA euthanizes almost all of the animals hey get! They are not a rescue organization that seeks homes. They take the animals in and if no home is found within days they euthanize them. I won't give any money to them anymore. They also want exhorbanet adoption fees.
I can't speak for the ASPCA, but I know that this happened to us with the BSPCA in Bahrain. We found four kittens living in the water and electrical space behind our villa, and we have two dogs so couldn't take them. We donated them to the BSPCA and were assured that they would be found homes - even donated $150 with them for their shots, etc. Two weeks later, we went by to get our dog crate back, and found out that all four had been euthanized. I was beside myself. Other people told me that the leadership power switches back and forth every few years between the people who want to save every animal and those who believe that the mandate is to gather the homeless/abused animals and get rid of the problem quickly - the quickest way being to kill them. I still cry when I think about it. Those kittens were perfect, not sick or anything, and young enough to learn how to trust people. For the ASPCA, I think I would like to see numbers on how many were actually adopted out of the 125. We have a bunch of local rescues here, and it's easier to keep track of stuff like that.
I am horrified to think that the ASPCA euthnizes most of the anmals they rescue, for example from puppy mills ? How can I find information on theses statistics ? have I been uninformed all of this tiem re the ASPCA ?
ASPCA better not be putting any of those sweet "babies"to sleep. I've donated to that org. for years..and to ASPCA International \too. I've seen vido of the help "Internatiuonal" does and they sure don't put the animals they help to sleep I think they're working in Spain now,,saw it on the computer
I agree, most rescue shelters and such do not kill dogs unless they are a danger to others. They give them time and try to rehab them, but some are just damaged from interbreeding and years of being bred and caged in small spaces. I believe everyone tries to help these dogs not all get a better life.
Susan: You are incorrect in your statement that "most rescue shelters and such do not kill dogs unless they are a danger to others." First, there is a difference between a 'rescue' and a 'shelter'. Generally, 'shelters' are county or city-run facilities where animals are taken when they are picked up by animal control, or dropped off by owners or people who find them. I don't know the percentage but a great many (if not most) shelters do euthanize (dogs, cats and other animals), and not just for aggressive behavior. Often it is because the animal is sick or injured and the facility does not have the means to care for them. A rescue is just that - rescues take animals from many places - pull from kill-shelters, strays, owner surrenders, etc. - quite often the animals they pull from the shelters are the ones that are sick or injured and those that are on 'death row'. Rescues provide vet care (again, often involving extensive medical treatment and/or surgeries) and foster families to care for the animals until they can be adopted. 'Rescues' do not euthanize; 'shelters' do, for aggressiveness, medical reasons and just because they don't have the money or the facilities to care for all the animals that are taken there (and that includes animals that could be adoptable if they were given a chance)
Hi Tracie,
The ASPCA doesn't work the way you think it does. I volunteer with them. Right now I do mainly foster work with senior animals that aren't adoptable.
From what I have seen, when the ASPCA does a large scale rescue, they set up a temporary kennel housing to get all the animals into clean safe conditions and then they evaluate all the animals and work with other groups for the rehoming of animals. So yes you should ask about who did the rehoming. It's coordinated by the FIR department which I can't remember what it stands for. The ASPCA doesn't support local shelters except with grants when they are applied for. Local shelters are not part of the ASPCA. The ASPCA has very few branches - there is the poison control center in Illinois and in New Jersey they just partnered with St. Huberts to set up a dog rehabilitation center.
The ASPCA shelter in New York City is small but mighty. They adopt out about 200 cats and kittens a month and at least 25 dogs and puppies. They pull from the local kill shelter whenever they have room. They recently had a renovation where they added on additional space for a larger spay and neuter clinic.
I think it's good that you give to your local shelter, that is admirable, I hope that you volunteer at your local shelter as well. Please remember that national organizations may not seem active on your local level but they are working on helping animals in other ways.
The ASPCA partnered with the local NYC ACC has a Lost and Found program where volunteers working from home (you could do it to!) try and match animals found as strays and taken to the city shelter against lost reports.
While I might not agree with every little thing about the ASPCA, I do realize the good in the organization. A lot of the negative press any national animal protection organization gets often come from a well funded agribusiness lobby that does not want any legislation passed to change how they treat animals. So please look to the sources of your information as well as to the mission of each organization.
Thank you.
Hello Margaret, thanks for the clear info about the ASPCA, we need to get all the necessary and consistent information before spread it around.! As far as I know, ASPCA survives only by donations and maybe some other organizations want to be competitive and thus make some fake propaganda! that could be! thanks for clearing up.
Hi Tracie, I wonder if the ASPCA really euthanize, 95% is a too high percentage !!! if that´s true why they rescue,rehab and then kill? makes no sense to me! would like to get more info about this horror! (I heard that they euthanize if the dog is violent and bite people or are too aggressive with other dogs) mainly when they are trained to attack and kill other dogs like in dog- fighting or whatever they were trained to an aggressive behavior, I´m much interested to learn more. That´s very serious!!!

The 3rd Annual Lois Weber Film Festival will be held November 8 and 9 at the historic Uptown Theater, 120 E. Main St., in downtown Grand Prairie. Featuring four film showings, the festival will also include two D/FW directors, Channing Godfrey Peoples and Julia Dyers, speaking about their work.
Named for one of the first successful women directors, this unique collection of more than 400 films (in dvd format) showcases the exciting variety of motion pictures directed by women since the earliest days of film creation. To focus on both the historical and ongoing contributions of women in the motion picture arts, the Grand Prairie Library System acquired a core collection of films directed by women, far-ranging in terms of time period, subject matter, style, and country of origin.
Friday, Nov. 8, 2013 7:30 p.m. - Red, with Fort Worth director Channing Godfrey Peoples speaking afterward
Saturday, Nov. 9, 2013 3 p.m., Meek's Cutoff. 5:30 p.m. Service: When women come marching home. 7 p.m., Dallas director Julia Dyer receives the Lois Weber Award. Her movie The Playroom will be shown. Reception to meet the director to follow.
A one day ticket is $8. A 2-day pass is $12. Show your library card for a $2 discount! Tickets are sold at the Uptown Theater ticket window, 120 E. Main St.
For more information, call 972-237-5700.
This year we welcome Channing Godfrey Peoples and Julia Dyer.
Channing is the writer/director of Red. She also plays the lead character, Red. Originally from Fort Worth, Channing spent her childhood in community theater and has been drawn to storytelling ever since. She has a MFA in Film Production, from the University of Southern California School of Cinematic Arts. Red, an African-American woman in Texas, is known for her flaming red hair and fiery ways. Crushed by the sudden death of her beloved grandmother, Mother Mabel, a grieving Red returns home to find that her lover has left; stealing her heart and Mabel's most treasured possession. As the funeral procession begins, Red must reclaim all that is rightfully hers.
Julia Dyer will receive the 2013 Lois Weber Award, and introduce her movie The Playroom. Julia has worked as a filmmaker in Dallas for more than two decades. She regularly consults on a variety of independent film projects, and has taught directing in the nationally recognized film program of the University of Texas at Austin, of which she is a graduate. About The Playroom, Julia says: "Most of us have forgotten what it is really like to be a child. We treat our grown-up customs as substantive and meaningful, while the rituals of childhood seem simplistic and even silly. The Playroom flips this relationship on its head, relegating the adult drama to the background while the children's complex journey absorbs our rapt attention. In the primary story arc, Maggie's coming-of-age has the emotional sweep of an epic odyssey, even though she barely leaves the house. Like every hero she must venture into uncharted waters, face her greatest fears, challenge the gods, and learn the deepest truths about herself. The younger children alternately obstruct and enable her journey, providing the moral context as they suffer the repercussions of her choices. In the end the intrigues of the adults seem trivial in comparison to the shattering decisions Maggie must make, and the heartbreaking losses her siblings endure, as she drags herself across the ragged border into adulthood."
The Grand Prairie Main Library is the site of the Lois Weber Collection, a circulating collection of motion pictures, shorts and documentaries directed by women. The Collection debuted in 2009, with 160 titles. A recent expansion to the collection has brought the total to more than 400 titles. The collection includes historical films from directors like Lois Weber and Dorothy Arzner, as well as modern directors like Nancy Meyers and Kathryn Bigelow.

Results vs. Bel-Abbey(CVAC Tourn) (2007-04-17 16:00:00)
April 17, 2007
|MLAX: Falcons Fall to Abbey 10-9
|Tuesday, 17 April 2007
|Belmont Abbey midfielder Jim Ring broke a 9-9 tie by scoring with four seconds left in regulation, as the fourth-seeded Crusaders advanced to the semifinal round of the 2007 CVAC Men's Lacrosse Tournament with a 10-9 win over fifth-seeded Pfeiffer Tuesday afternoon. The Crusaders improve to 6-8, while the Falcons end their season at 1-13.
The contest, which featured two ties, both in the last 5:27, saw neither team build a lead any higher than three goals. Ring opened the scoring just 48 seconds into the contest to give the Abbey a 1-0 lead. The Falcons momentarily tied the game at one at the 11:31 mark, but the goal was disallowed after it was scored with an illegal stick.
Undeterred, Pfeiffer tied the game at one with a goal at the 4:59 mark of the first quarter, but Homan and Fugitt answered with back to back goals to give the Abbey a 4-1 lead. Pfeiffer cut the lead in half with a goal at the 1:29 mark.
Both teams scored two goals each in the second and third periods to set up an exciting four quarter. Leading 8-6 at the end of the third, Pfeiffer fired home two straight goals to knot the contest at eight. A goal by Regan 42 seconds after the Falcons tied the game gave the Abbey the lead again, at 9-8, but Pfeiffer's Chad Olsen took a feed from Eddie Gourley and fired home a shot to tie the game at nine to set up a wild finish.
After the tying goal, Ring won the face off to give the Abbey the possession. With 38 seconds left, Robinson fired off a shot that was blocked. Regan gathered the rebound, but turned it over to the Falcons, who then turned it back over to the Abbey.
Ring scooped up the loose ball and passed to Regan. With nine seconds left, Regan had his shot blocked, but the ball came to Ring, who tucked a shot just inside the crossbar. The ball caromed off the bar, but the official on the goal line ruled the ball crossed the line with four seconds left for the winning goal.

"If education is beaten by training, civilization dies." C. S. Lewis
The fight at the Mississippi state capitol this legislative session has been the battle between the establishment progressive education system and the "education reform" laws that have been touted as the free-market answer to failing school districts.
Behind the political war, there is a greater battle that involves the minds and very souls of the children our lawmakers claim to be fighting for.
This is a war between education and training.
"Workforce training"is the buzzword of the first quarter of 2013, but it is hardly a new concept. As you can see from the above quote, the great Christian writer C.S. Lewis was well aware of the pitfalls that vocational training poses for society.
Lewis knew that every man needs training for vocation, but he was also very keenly aware of the lessons of history and the dangers that come with schools gutted of liberal arts curriculum, replaced by vocational training.
We must do a bit of self-reflection in order to understand how we got to the point of accepting this as the role of schools for our future generations.
We'll examine one word today in an attempt to drive home the point that we are unwittingly the authors of the potential demise of civilization.
The word is resource.
Many say "children are our most valuable resource."
In one statement, we have managed to marginalize children, not of the past, nor the present but of future generations.
We have predetermined a technocracy, and we have committed the yet unborn to be workers to that end.
I have divided this into three segments in order to follow the digression accurately.
The first is "the child resource." The second is "the child burden." The final is "the child expendable."
The Child Resource
It is my view that children should not be labeled or viewed as resources. It can be argued that it is correct for manufacturing companies to examine the "human resources" that are available in a municipality when viewing that town as a prospective location.
Another word for "human resource" in that sense is the labor force.
By labeling children as resources, however, we presume that the children of today are to be willing participants of a future labor force rather than exploring other fields of study like those of the liberal arts.
In other words, we have denied the child his or her freedom to chose his or her own outcomes and have predetermined some sort of vocation for the child.
We must too look more deeply into the nature of the "resource."
The World Book Encyclopedia has long been viewed as a great resource for acquiring information.
In its entirety, and if it contains no factual errors, this resource is beneficial to the user in doing reports or simply acquiring knowledge.
If the book is found to be in error, it becomes a less beneficial resource. If it is found that every page contains at least one error, the book is virtually useless and would be discarded by the user.
Human beings may be fired for repeated errors, but they are not treated as useless books, bound for the trash.
Humans have the ability to change non-factual information in their brains to that of fact.
There are many examples of how resources fail to fit in with human nature like the old trusty Toyota being replaced by the new Ford.
The Toyota may still sit in the yard, but it does not feel jealousy that you are now driving a newer car of a different model.
It does not feel hurt or a feeling of abandonment. Neither does the encyclopedia.
That is the difference between resources and human beings.
When you site the encyclopedia as a source, you've done nothing to help the encyclopedia. You benefit the reader by showing support for a hypothesis or a statement of historical significance.
Replacing the timing chain on your car does not make the vehicle feel better about itself. It benefits the driver, the user of the resource.
If we come to a point, and I think we have, where we view children in this light then the next step is not too far from us.
The Child Burden
When the 1992 Toyota, which served a great purpose in its glory days, begins to slip out of gear, run hot or leak oil the vehicle quickly becomes viewed by the owner as a burden.
The few times the car is reliable enough to make it to work are far out-weighted by the roadside breakdowns that make you late for work.
At this point, the car's usefulness quickly turns to burden.
This is key in understanding how the establishment views a culture of children who do not perform well on test scores.
It is also paramount to know that test score data is not about what the child knows, but rather about what the child can do.
It is no secret that the vast majority of our youth who are exiting high school, after passing the four tests that are administered from ninth-eleventh grades, cannot tell basic things of history, math, science or English, all of which are the nature of the tests.
The goal of testing is to pass the test. It is not to gain knowledge.
There are many students who are able to gain knowledge and pass the tests, but this is unimportant to those who monitor test data.
Let's say Johnny and Kate take the state History test.
Johnny and Kate both make the same mark, but Johnny wants to tell the state department of education about a profound thought he had when studying the Great Depression, while Kate answered every question about the Great Depression correctly but has little insight about the subject.
Johnny's epiphany is of no consequence to the person reading the test data. The only thing of consequence is the passing score.
When Johnny and Kate's classmate Timmy fails the History exam, he is a statistic. When 28 other classmates also fail the test, there is a problem.
The few fleeting genius thoughts of Johnny, and Kate's well-timed luck are viewed like the two times in a five-day week the Toyota made it to the office.
When entire pockets of potential resources show low aptitude to perform, these children become burdensome or in our terms, at-risk.
The Child Expendable
Once a child is labeled a resource, he or she either becomes useful or burdensome.
Test data is usually the measuring stick for determining how useful or how burdensome the child will become to society. Are they task-oriented? Are they workforce ready?
These are the questions being asked by those who find test data useful.
When children as resources become children as burdens, they will then take the final natural step to children as expendable.
The expendable child is the encyclopedia that contains too many errors, the Toyota that breaks down three times a week or the computer that is no longer fast enough to run a card game.
These resources all share the common traits of being burdensome and expendable, but they also share one very important trait and that is that they are the property of a user.
The owner decides the fate of the car.
Who decides the fate of the burdensome resource child?
It only took the German state a few years during the 1930s to become convinced of the concept of the burdensome human and naturally the expendable human.
If we continue down this road of thought, our attempts to fulfill our vocational needs of the future will have devastating consequences.
