1. Constructivism: Implications for the Designand Delivery of InstructionThomas M. DuffyDonald J. Cunningham Indiana University Instruction should be designed to support a dialogue between the child and his or her future; not a dialogue between the child and the adults history. Adult wisdom does not provide a teleology for child development. Adapted from Griffin and Coles discussion (1984) of the zone of proximal development.7.1 IntroductionConstructivism! The increase in frequency with which this word appears in thediscourse of educational research, theory, and policy is truly remarkable.Unfortunately much of the discussion is at the level of slogan and cliché evenbromide. "Students should construct their own knowledge" is beingreverentially chanted throughout the halls of many aschool/college/department of education these days, and any approach that isother than constructivist is characterized as promoting passive, rote, andsterile learning. For example, consider Rogoffs (1994) description of what shecalls the adult-run model of how learning occurs: ... learning is seen as a product of teaching or of adults provision of information. Adults see themselves as responsible for filling children up with knowledge, as if children are receptacles and knowledge is a product.... [The] children are seen as receivers of a body of knowledge, but not active participants in learning. The children have little role except to be receptive, as if they could just open a little bottle cap to let adults pour the knowledge in. In this adult run model, adults have to be concerned with how to pack age the knowledge and how to motivate the children to make themselves receptive (p. 211).The views expressed in this paper, however, do not necessarily reflect theviews of the Laboratory We wonder how many, if any, educators wouldrecognize themselves in this description. Perhaps the proponents ofprogrammed instruction? Skinner would certainly reject the aspersion:
A good program of instruction guarantees a great deal of successful action. Students do not need to have a natural interest in what they are doing, and subject matters do not need to be dressed up to attract attention. No one really cares whether PacMan gobbles up all those little spots on the screen.... What is reinforcing is successful play, and in a well-designed instructional program students gobble up their assignments (1984, p. 949).Skinner goes on to describe a classroom in which the students are so volublyengaged with the instruction on their "teaching machine" that they dont evenlook up when the teacher makes distracting noises by jumping up and downon the teachers platform at the front of the room. It may be time to movebeyond the paradigm debates of the last few years for precisely the reason thatthe tendency to sort the various approaches into "Good Guys" and "Bad Guys"(Cunningham, 1986) has not led in profitable directions. Skinner and hisadvocates see themselves as virtuous as any constructivist (see 2.5.2)! Thedebates have focused on method, as in whether we should use aproblem-based method, or cooperative groups, or hypermedia databases, orprogrammed instruction, etc. For some, the paradigm issue has reached thestatus of the utterly irrelevant; we should ignore theoretical issues and simplypick the methods that work, that reliably and efficiently lead to studentlearning.What we see as crucial in these debates, however, is scarcely acknowledged: afundamental difference in world view, disagreement at the level of groundingassumptions, the fundamental assumptions underlying our conception of theteaching-learning process. It must be recognized that grounding assumptionsare always assumed, that they can never be proved unambiguously true orfalse. We may and certainly will provide evidence and try to persuade you thatour assumptions are reasonable and those to which you should commit. Animportant part of our argument will be that these assumptions lead todemonstrably different goals, strategies, and embodiments of instruction,even when there are some superficial similarities to instruction derived fromdifferent assumptions.An immediate difficulty confronts us, however. The term constructivism hascome to serve as an umbrella term for a wide diversity of views. It is wellbeyond our purposes in this chapter to detail these similarities and differencesacross the many theories claiming some kinship to constructivism. However,they do seem to be committed to the general view that (1) learning is an activeprocess of constructing rather than acquiring knowledge, and (2) instructionis a process of supporting that construction rather than communicatingknowledge. The differences, some quite pronounced, are in definitions of suchterms as knowledge, learning, and construction, and about the processesappropriate for supporting learning. For example, within Rogoffs (1994)
distinction between three instructional approaches--(1) adult-run(transmission from experts to novices), (2) children-run (individual orcollaborative discovery), or (3) community of learners (transformedparticipation in collective sociocultural experience)--one can see possibilitiesof both constructivist and nonconstructivist instruction. So, for example,reciprocal teaching (e.g., Palinscar & Brown, 1984) is often cited as aconstructivist teaching strategy, yet it is very much teacher led. Similarly,group problem-based learning interventions (Savery & Duffy, 1995) mightfocus on the individual achievement of prescribed learning outcomes ratherthan on any sort of pattern of collective participation.As the quote from Skinner suggests, everyone agrees that learning involvesactivity and a context, including the availability of information in somecontent domain. Traditionally in instruction, we have focused on theinformation presented or available for learning and have seen the activity ofthe learner as a vehicle for moving that information into the head. Hence theactivity is a matter of processing the information. The constructivists, however,view the learning as the activity in context. The situation as a whole must beexamined and understood in order to understand the learning. Rather thanthe content domain sitting as central, with activity and the "rest" of thecontext serving a supporting role, the entire gestalt is integral to what islearned.An implication of this view of learning as constructed in the activity of thelearner is that the individual can only know what he or she hasconstructed--and we cannot "know" in any complete sense of that term whatsomeone else has constructed. This implication has led to considerable debateamong many individuals seeking to understand constructivism. In particularwe hear the reaction that constructivism leads inevitably to subjectivism, to arelativism where anyones constructions are as good as any one elses andwhere we are unable to judge the value or truth of constructions with anydegree of certainty. As will be detailed below, constructivists typicallysubstitute some notion of viability for certainty; that is, we judge the validityof someones knowledge, understanding, explanation, or other action, not byreference to the extent to which it matches reality but, rather, by testing theextent to which it provides a viable, workable, acceptable action relative topotential alternatives. As Bruner has noted, asking the question "How doesthis view affect my view of the world or my commitments to it, surely does notlead to anything goes. It may lead to an unpacking of suppositions, the betterto explore ones commitments" (1990, p. 27).A second concern has been that the idiosyncrasies of constructions lead to aninability to communicate. That is, how can we possibly talk to one another ifour world constructions (meanings) are idiosyncratic based on our experience.Indeed, the lack of shared meaning can make communication very difficult fortwo people from very different cultures. Simple language translations do notdo the trick; rather we must develop cultural understandings before we can
communicate adequately, a lesson the business community has alreadylearned in this increasingly global economy. For those of us who share acommon culture, however, the communication is not that difficult. Indeed,cultures are defined by a set of common experiences and the agreement of acommon set of values based on those experiences. As Bruner (1990) puts it,culture forms minds, and minds make value judgments.But dont we have shared meaning within the culture? Is it possible to haveshared meaning? We can only evaluate whether meaning is shared by testingthe compatibility of our individual meanings: exploring implications, probingmore deeply. Of course, no matter how much we probe, we can never be surethat the meaning is shared. Thus, rather than assuming a shared meaning,within the constructivist framework there is a seeking of compatibility, a lackof contradiction between views (Rorty, 1989). We probe at deeper and deeperlevels to determine where or if our understandings begin to diverge. There aretwo important implications of this constructivist framework. First, we donotassume that we must have a common meaning, but rather we actively seek tounderstand the different perspectives. Second, from a learning perspective, wedo not assume that the learner will "acquire" the experts meaning, and hencewe do not seek a transmission approach to instruction. Rather we seek tounderstand and challenge the learners thinking.The common ground of constructivism could be summarized by vonGlasersfelds statement: "Instead of presupposing knowledge is arepresentation of what exists, knowledge is a mapping, in the light of humanexperience, of what is feasible" (1989, p. 134).7.1.1 A Brief Historical and Philosophical ContextCurrent research and theory in learning and instruction has far too often beenpresented in an historical framework, with a consequence that we fail to learnabout the complexity of the issues and the potential pitfalls from previouswork (Cuban, 1991). Constructivism certainly has a long history in educationand philosophy, and there is much to be learned from that history. However, areview of that history could easily be a book in and of itself. As a consequenceof the space available, it is with apologies that we can only offer a briefreference to these historical contexts.Von Glasersfeld (1989) attributes the first constructivist theory to an Italianphilosopher, Giambattista Vico, in the early 18th century. As described by VonGlasersfeld, "one of Vicos basic ideas was that epistemic agents can knownothing but the cognitive structures they themselves have put together . . . toknow means to know how to make." (1989, p. 123). While Vico has receivedlittle attention in current constructivist theory building, there are several20th-century philosophers who provide significant epistemological groundingfor the current constructivist views. Chin (1970), the later Wittgenstein(Malcomb, 1986), and Rorty (1991) are all frequently cited for their basicargument that knowledge is a construction by individuals and is relative to the
current context (community), rather than representing some correspondenceto external reality.Kuhn (1970), of course, has made this point most strongly in consideringtheory and research in science. His Structure of Scientific Revolution (Kuhn,1970) provided the grounding for a major paradigm shift in science toward a"best description" view of theory rather than an approximation to the "truth."In essence, he argued that the meaning of our vocabulary resides in our theoryrather than outside of it. Thus, there is no metavocabulary that sitsindependent of theory, and, as such, it is impossible to translate betweentheories. That is, theories provide their own lens into the world, with eachtheory providing a different lens (or perspective). For example, Kuhn arguesthat there is no independent way to reconstruct phrases like "really there." All"facts" are theory laden.Wittgenstein (Malcom, 1986) took a similar position in his study of language,forsaking his initial logical positivist position (i.e., that words can be fullydefined by their correspondence to objects) to argue for the total contextdependency of meaning. Hence, he argued that as we crisscross the landscapeof contexts for a word, it will continually become richer and richer in meaning.Me pragmatic theory of Richard Rorty (1991) has played a particularlysignificant role in the theoretical work of those constructivists most interestedin the cognitive development of the individual in society. Rortys pragmatismholds that "knowledge is not a matter of getting it right but rather acquiringhabits of action for coping with reality" (1991, p. 1). Thus, rather than seeking"truth" by correspondence to the real world, we seek viability, i.e.,explanations that are viable in the world as we understand it. We are alwaysseeking to increase the viability of our understanding, both by improving ouraccount of specific events or experiences and by interweaving ourexplanations, thus weaving a web of understanding.Rorty argues that viability is culturally determined; knowledge andunderstanding are ethnocentric, and viability is established through obtainingunforced agreement within the community. Thus knowledge (or fact) andopinion are distinguished not by their "truth" value, but rather by the easewith which one can obtain agreement in the community. Rorty points out thatif we can set aside the desire for objectivity, we can change our self-imagefrom one of "finding" to one of "making." Knowledge is in the constructiveprocess rather than a finding: The culture defines and is defined by what itagrees is "known."While Rorty describes the construction of knowledge as the seeking ofunforced agreement within the community, the focus is not so much on theagreement as it is on the dialogical process involved in seeking understanding: We cannot, I think, imagine a moment at which the human race could settle back and say, "Well, now that weve arrived at the Truth we can relax." We should relish the thought that the
sciences as well as the arts will always provide a spectacle of fierce competition between alternative theories, movements, and schools. The end of human activity is not rest, but rather richer and better human activity (Rorty, 1991, p. 39).For example, science is not "better" than the arts or everyday problem-solvingactivity because it is discovering the truth, but rather because it has rules ofdiscourse that support and focus on the seeking of unforced agreement(Bereiter, 1994). As Rorty puts it the only sense in which science is exemplaryis that it is a model of human solidarity" (1991, p. 39). Bereiter (1994) hasargued that this "solidarity" rests in four key commitments in science. Theseare commitments to: Work toward common understanding satisfactory to all. Frame questions and propositions in ways that permit evidence to be brought to bear on them. Expand the body of collectively valid propositions. Allow any belief to be subject to criticism if it will advance the discourse.To say that we think we are going in the right direction is simply to say that wecan take back on the past and describe it as progress. That is, rather thanmoving closer to the truth, we are able to interweave and explain more andmore. Rorty claims, for example, that the pragmatists distinction betweenknowledge and opinion, ". . . is simply the distinction between topics on whichagreement is relatively easy to get and topics on which agreement is relativelydifficult to get (1991, p. 23).Philosophy is only one discipline that has relevance to constructivism in itsapplication to instruction. There are views from a wide range of otherdisciplines that reflect the epistemological and methodological stances thatare compatible with constructivism that we simply do not have the space topursue in this chapter, e.g., serniotics (Cunningham, 1992), biology (Maturana& Varela, 1992), structuralism (Hawkes, 1977), and postmodernism (Lemke,1994; Hlynka & Belland, 1991).The philosophers, themselves, generally did not directly address theeducational implications of their views. Rather, we see parallel developmentsin pedagogical theory and practice. Thus, while Vico published his work in theearly 18th century, in the middle part of that century (1760) Jean JaquesRousseau published 蒻 ile (Rousseau, 1955), a treatise on education in whichhe argued that the senses were the basis of intellectual development and thatthe childs interaction with the environment was the basis for constructingunderstanding (Page, 1990). Thus Rousseau emphasized learning by doingwith the teachers role being that of presenting problems that would stimulatecuriosity and promote learning. Rousseaus views were in direct opposition tothe existing educational framework in which the focus was on study and
memorization of the classics. His treatise came shortly before the FrenchRevolution and served as the basis for educational reform in France after therevolution.John Dewey (1916, 1929, 1938) was perhaps the greatest proponent of situatedlearning and learning by doing. Dewey, like Rousseau, reacted against thetraditional educational framework of memorization and recitation and arguedthat "education is not preparation for life, it is life itself." Also like Rousseau,Dewey was responding to the need for restructuring education to meet thechanging needs of society, in this case the start of the Industrial Age inAmerica and the demands of industrial technology. Dewey argued that life,including the vocations, should form the basic context for learning. In essence,rather than learning vocations, we learned science, math, literature, etc.,through vocations (Kliebard, 1986). This is similar to the current argument for"anchored instruction" in which the learning of any subject is anchored in alarger community or social context (CTGV, 1992).Most importantly, learning was organized around the individual rather thanaround subject-matter topics and predetermined organizations of domains.Dewey emphasized perturbations of the individuals understanding as thestimulus for learning (Rochelle, 1992). In essence, the learners interest in anissue had to be aroused, and learning was then organized around the learnersactive effort to resolve that issue. Deweys focus was on an inquiry-basedapproached to learning, for he saw scientific inquiry as a general model forreflective thinking (Kliebard, 1986). This is not to say that the learners were tolearn the scientific, method as a fixed procedure, but rather that they were tolearn the problem-solving skills and informal reasoning associated withscientific work (see, for example, Bereiter, 1994).In concluding this discussion of Dewey, we would like briefly to address therole of the teacher in this discussion of constructivist theory. While the focusof Rousseau, Dewey, and current constructivist educational theory is on thestudents struggle with a problem, this should not be taken to suggest thatthere is no role for the teacher beyond developing and presenting problems.Indeed, as will be evident throughout this chapter, the teacher plays a centralrole, a role that we suspect is more central than in most instructional designframeworks. Dewey provides an eloquent statement on the issue: There is a present tendency in so-called advanced schools of educational thought ... to say, in effect, let us surround pupils with materials, tools, appliances, etc., and let the pupils respond according to their own desires. Above all, let us not suggest any end or plan to the students; let us not suggest to them what they shall do, for that is unwarranted trespass upon their sacred intellectual individuality, since the essence of such individuality is to set up ends and means. Now, such a method is really stupid, for it attempts the impossible, which is always stupid, and it
misconceives the conditions of independent thinking (Dewey in Page, 1990, p. 20).Alfred North Whitehead also argued for a pedagogy reflective of the currentconstructivist theories. In his essay on the Aims of Education, Whiteheadargued: Education is the acquisition of the art of the utilization of knowledge.... Interrelated truths are utilized en bloc, and the various propositions are employed in any order, and with any reiteration. Choose some important application of your theoretical subject; and study them concurrently with the systematic theoretical disposition (1929, p. 4).Whitehead goes on to contrast this view of education with the prevailingapproach: You take a textbook and make them learn it.... The child then knows how to solve a quadratic equation. But what is the point of teaching a child to solve a quadratic equation? There is a traditional answer to this question. It runs thus: The mind is an instrument; you first sharpen it and then use it.... solving the quadratic equation is part of sharpening the mind. Now there is enough half-truths in that to have made it live through the ages. But for all its half-truths, it emphasizes a radical error which stifles the genius of the modem world. It is one of the most fatal, erroneous, and dangerous conceptions ever introduced into the theory of education. The mind is never passive; it is a perpetual activity. You cannot postpone its life until you have sharpened it. Whatever interest attaches to your subject matter must be evoked hem and now; whatever powers you are strengthening in the pupil must be strengthened here and now; whatever possibilities of mental life your teaching should impart must be exhibited here and now. That is the golden rule of education, and a very difficult rule to follow (1929, pp. 5-6).Like Rousseau and Dewey, Jerome Bruner saw learning in the activity of thelearner (1966, 1971). In particular he emphasized discovery learning, focusingon the process of discovery in which the learner sought understanding of someissue. Within this context, Bruner emphasized that the issues or questions thatguide the discovery process must be personally and societally relevant.Bruners development of the social studies curriculum, Man: A Course ofStudy (MACOS), perhaps best exemplifies his theory. In designing this socialstudies curriculum for upper elementary students, Bruner and Dowsummarize their overarching pedagogical view as:
It is only in a trivial sense that one gives a course to "get something across," merely to impart information. There are better means to that end than teaching. Unless the learner also masters himself, disciplines his tastes, deepens his world view, the "something" that is gotten across is hardly worth the effort of transmission (undated, p. 3).From that perspective, Bruner (1966) and his colleagues designed a socialstudies course that has as its goals that pupils: Have respect for and confidence in their powers of mind and extend that power to thinking about the human condition Are able to develop and apply workable models that make it easier to analyze the nature of the social world Develop a sense of respect for man as a species and to leave with a sense of the unfinished business of mans evolutionIt should be clear from these goals that in Bruners framework, knowledge isnot in the content but in the activity of the person in the content domain. Thatis, the active struggling by the learner with issues is learning. Thus it wasimportant for Bruner to begin the MACOS curriculum with the unknown as ameans of stimulating the childs curiosity: In this case, it involved the study ofbaboon communities and the culture of the Nestlik Eskimos. This unknownwas then related to the known, the childs familiar culture (family, school, etc.)in exploring the tool-making activities, language, social organizations, etc., asa mechanism for understanding both the unknown and the known. With thisbasic sequencing, the instructional methods used included: inquiry,experimentation, observation, interviewing, literature search, summarizing,defense of opinion, etc. (Hanley, Whitla, Moo & Walter, 1970). As this listsuggests, the students were very much involved in the construction of theirunderstanding, and the social interaction in the classroom was essential tothat constructive process.Bruner paid particular attention to aiding teachers in adapting to this newapproach. In addition to extensive workshops, there was a variety of supportmaterials. Video of students participating in sample lessons provided visualimages of the patterns of activity that were being sought and highlightedproblems. Model lessons were designed to address particularly difficultconcepts; reading material for the teacher provided a "lively" account of thenature of the unit, discussing the "mystery" and why it impels curiosity andwonder; and a guide presented "hints" to teachers as to the kind of questionsto ask, contrasts to invoke, and resources to use.Evaluations of the MACOS curriculum indicated that it was successful inpromoting inquiry and interpersonal interaction, increasing the childrensconfidence in expressing ideas and their ability to attend, and increasing thechildrens enjoyment of social studies (Hanley et al., 1970; Cole & Lacefield,
1980). The difficulty came in the acceptance of an inquiry-driven curriculumthat did not "cover the basic content." Some teachers expressed concern thatthere was a neglect of traditional skills; and there was a fairly widespreadpublic concern that the students should actually be exposed to diverseperspectives and be involved in inquiry that examined the basics tenets of ourculture (Dow, 1975; Conlan, 1975). We suspect this to be a continuing strugglein any inquiry-based approach to instruction. Indeed, in spite of histremendous philosophical influence on education, Deweys schools weresimilarly short lived. Kliebard (1986) proposes that, as with Bruners MACOScurriculum, teachers and the community felt uncomfortable with the lack of awell-defined content that students will "have" when they leave school, andthus the inquiry approach became increasingly constrained by detailedcontent specifications.7.1.2 Current ViewsBeyond this common framework of learning as situated in activity,constructivism has come to serve as an umbrella for a wide diversity of views.These views may lend particular emphasis to the role of the teacher as amanager or coach, as in reciprocal teaching (Palinscar & Brown, 1984) andmany other apprentice frameworks. Alternatively, they may focus on thestudent and his or her ownership of the learning activity, as for example in thedesign of problem based learning curricula (Savery & Duffy, 1995), in usingstudent query as a mechanism for defining curriculum (Scardamalia &Bereiter, 1991), or any of the variety of other learner-centered approaches (see,for example, Brooks & Brooks, 1993). Finally, an increasingly dominantconstructivist view focuses on the cultural embeddedness, of learning,employing the methods and framework of cultural anthropology to examinehow learning and cognition are distributed in the environment rather thanstored in the head of an individual (Engstrom, 1993; Cole & Engstrom, 1993;Saxe, 1992; Cunningham & Knuth, 1993).Cobb (1994a, 1994b) has attempted to characterize this diversity asrepresenting two major trends that are often grouped together: individualcognitive and sociocultural (see Table 7-1). The individual cognitive approachderives from Piagetian theory (Piaget, 1977) and is closely associated with thecurrent writings of Ernst von Glasersfeld (1984, 1989, 1992) and Cathy Fosnot(1989). This view emphasizes the constructive activity of the individual as heor she tries to make sense of the world. Learning is seen to occur when thelearners expectations are not met, and he or she must resolve the discrepancybetween what was expected and what was actually encountered. Thus, thelearning is in the individuals constructions as he or she attempts to resolvethe conflict, or, alternatively put, individuals literally construct themselvesand their world by accommodating to experiences. The conflict in Piagetianterms is known as disequilibration, but Dewey refers to the same stimulus as aperturbation. The first author has preferred the more neutral term puzzlement
(Savery & Duffy, 1995). From this perspective, the importance of the teacherand other students is as a source of perturbation or puzzlement as a stimulusfor the individuals learning. As von Glasersfeld (1989) notes, people, by far,offer the most effective and ready-at-hand source of perturbation of a learnerscurrent understanding. Hence, within this framework, the focus is on theindividual within the group, and cognition occurs in the head of the individual.In studying learning, we examine the impact of culture on the individualpsychological processes. TABLE 7-1. CONTRASTS BETWEEN THE INDIVIDUAL COGNITIVE AND THE SOCIOCULTURAL CONSTRUCTIVIST VIEWS (adapted from Cobb, 1993) Cognitive Constructivist Sociocultural Constructivist The mind is in the head in the individual-in-social located: interaction Learning is a active cognitive reorganization acculturation into an established process of- community of practice Goal is to the social and cultural basis of constitution of social and account for: personal experience cultural processes by actively interpreting individuals Theoretical individual psychological social and cultural processes attention is on: processes Analysis of cognitive self-organization, acculturation, implicitly learning sees implicitly assuming that the assuming an actively learning as: child is participating in cultural constructing child practices Focus of building models of individual individuals participation in analyses: students conceptual culturally organized practices reorganization and by analyses and face-to-face interactions of their joint constitution of the
local social situation of development In looking at a an evolving microculture that is instantiation of the culturally classroom, we jointly constituted by the teacher organized practices of schooling see: and students In looking at a the heterogeneity and eschew that the homogeneity of group, we analyses single out pre-given members of established stress: social and cultural practices communities and to eschew analyses of qualitative differencesIn contrast to the von Glasersfeld/Piaget focus on individual constructions,the sociocultural approach emphasizes the socially and culturally situatedcontext of cognition. Drawing on the insights of such theorists as Vygotsky,Leontev, and Bakhtin (e.g., see Wertsch, 1991), this approach examines thesocial origins of cognition, for example, the impact of an individualsappropriation of language as a mediating toot to construct meaning. Collectiveactions become the focus, as in Rogoffs (1994, p. 209) learning communities,where "learning occurs as people participate in shared endeavors with others,with all playing active but often asymmetrical roles in sociocultural activity." Itis the changes of ways in which one participates in a community which arecrucial, not individual constructions of that activity. Likewise, Driver and hercolleagues (Driver, Asoko, Leach, Mortimer & Scott, 1994, p. 4) characterizelearning science as "being initiated into ideas and practices of the scientificcommunity and making these ideas and practices meaningful at an individuallevel." Learning, then, is a process of acculturation, and thus the study ofsocial and cultural processes and artifacts is central.While Cobb (1994b) argues that these two approaches are complimentary, weare not of one mind on this matter. While we will not argue the case here, itdoes seem that there is a contradiction between a position that positsdevelopment as increasingly abstract and formal constructions of reality, andanother that views reality as a constructive process embedded in socioculturalpractices with the possibility of acting on and transforming reality within thecontext of those practices.With this background in hand, the next two sections detail some of thegrounding assumptions that characterize our approach to constructivism, inorder to better position the examples and recommendations to follow.

Magpul Industries Moves Out Of Colorado Over Gun Control Legislation
The Leftists that currently run Colorado implemented gun control and they've been paying the price in plunging approval ratings, recall elections, sheriffs refusing to enforce the law and lost business ever since. Now, Magpul which had been threatening to leave over the legislation has finally pulled the trigger.
Magpul Industries announced today that it is relocating its operations to Wyoming and Texas.
The company is relocating manufacturing, distribution and shipping operations to Cheyenne, Wyoming. Magpul is leasing a 58,000 square foot manufacturing and distribution facility during the construction of a 100,000 square foot build-to-suit facility in the Cheyenne Business Parkway. The Wyoming relocation is being completed with support from Governor Matt Mead, the Wyoming Business Council and Cheyenne LEADS.
Magpul is moving its corporate headquarters to Texas. Three North Central Texas sites are under final consideration, and the transition to the Texas headquarters will begin as soon as the facility is selected. The Texas relocation is being accomplished with support from Governor Rick Perry and the Texas Economic Development Corporation.
"Magpul made the decision to relocate in March 2013 and has proceeded on an aggressive but deliberate path" says Doug Smith, Chief Operating Officer for Magpul Industries. "These dual moves will be carried out in a manner that ensures our operations and supply chain will not be interrupted and our loyal customers will not be affected."
The company began a nationwide search for a new base of operations after legislation was enacted in Colorado that dramatically limits the sale of firearms accessories — the core of Magpul's business. Magpul plans on initially transitioning 92% of its current workforce outside of Colorado within 12-16 months and will maintain only limited operations in Colorado.
"Moving operations to states that support our culture of individual liberties and personal responsibility is important," says Richard Fitzpatrick, Chief Executive Officer for Magpul Industries. "This relocation will also improve business operations and logistics as we utilize the strengths of Texas and Wyoming in our expansion."
Liberals in Colorado sowed the wind when they pushed anti-2nd Amendment legislation and now they're reaping the whirlwind.

ATI Catalyst 5.11 Performance Analysis (X1K Edition) - Benchmarks - Quake 4We're back on the job again with a look at the ATI Catalyst 5.11 drivers with the new Radeon X1800XT.
Quake 4
Version and / or Patch Used: Unpatched
Timedemo or Level Used: Custom Timedemo
Developer Homepage: http://www.idsoftware.com
Product Homepage: http://www.quake4game.com
Quake 4 is one of the latest new games to be added to our benchmark suite. It is based off the popular Doom 3 engine and as a result uses many of the features seen in Doom. However, Quake 4 graphics are more intensive than Doom 3 and should put more strain on different parts of the system.
Quake 4, the latest OpenGL addition, sees massive performance increases as well with 1600 x 1200 going from what is a borderline playable speed to a more then doable speed.

Despite self-serving rhetoric to the contrary, it actually isn't very difficult to understand the ideology of Marshall's football scheduling.
Anthony Rotich from UTEP and Miranda Kramer from Western Kentucky were selected as the 2014-15 Conference USA Athletes of the Year.
Southern Miss football was once the standard in mid-major college football.
It begins in 11 days.

Kim Kardashian gets a mani/pedi at a Beverly Hills salon on April 27, 2011.
some people think shes such a horrible person a descrace to the human race some people think she should be killed like osama bin laden hunted down and shot and raped until she begs for mercy reply if u like pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaassssssssssssssssseeeeeeeeeeeee
she is a disgrace, she's so full of her so, its obnoxious!
she is gorgeous i love u kim
wow people have too much time on their hands. kim and her whole family are beautiful people outside and in and if you honestly think she should be killed like osama bin laden you seriously need counseling. Osama bin laden killed thousands of people, that is why he got killed. So your saying kim should be killed for being beautiful and putting her mind to what she wants thats why she has the money she has which she works her ass off for. shame on you! go hate on someone else dumb bitches!
Amber Rose is over all the Kardashian drama.
Maybe she's born with it. Maybe she just uses a lot of lotion.
If there is one lesson to be learned in 2015, it is the following: do not f*** with Nicki Minaj.
