Skip to comments.U.S. Students Have Horrible History Test Scores (And What Should Be Done About It!)
Posted on 08/09/2011 4:45:04 PM PDT by bthockey
For those of your who haven't found out yet, American students don't know basic history of their own country. I can't say I find this surprising because no one in my school is really that excited about history, let alone American history. I think this is a major problem with our schools and one that we must fix!
The National Assessment of Educational Progress tests students every couple years to see if our education system is headed in the right direction. If we dive into the stats, it's clear to see that students have horrendous history test scores. Only 12 percent of high school seniors scored a "proficient" score on the test, which is down from 20 percent of 4th graders and 17 percent of 8th graders! Clearly our students aren't learning enough about history, especially at the high school level.
(Excerpt) Read more at thebandofpatriots.com ...
School is a tool...to teach you how to find info. We apply what we need or want to apply....be it for a career or for pleasure.
How about we stop rewriting history to make it PC and stick to the facts? Then we hold the students to a standard and actually teach them something.
Doom them to repeat it then.
You could say something similar to that about any field, even medicine or engineering, both of which require a solid foundation of knowledge in many areas to build upon. Once out of school details can be looked up and memories refreshed, but the underlying core of knowledge needs to be there as one gains wisdom
I heard great phrase recently about knowledge and wisdom:
Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit, but wisdom is knowing not to put one in a fruit salad.
I had a History class everyday, starting in the third grade. The only thing that bugged me was having to memorize dates. 1066, Battle of Hastings, was always a test question. I never felt that the exact dating was a worthwhile question. More important was the "why" question.
Get rid of the Department of Education, Get rid of the Teacher's Unions, hire real teachers(as opposed to Democratic operatives), and provide the kids with non politically correct history books. That's it problem solved. Just like the vast majority of the problems facing this nation the solutions are extremely simple common sense ones. Of course that kind of solution will never see the light of day.
I'm sure we'll have to have a Congressional investigation into this, then of course much more money will be required, and of course some sort of super committee (sound familiar?) will be needed.
How about using history books by such excellent authors as David McCullough in the classroom instead of the typical socialist textbooks used.
>>For those of your who haven't found out yet, American students don't know basic history of their own country.<<
It is not their fault.
American students are now indoctrinated (brainwashed) by their "teachers" in useless bilge such as social justice, latino studies, self awareness, the blessing of diversity, etc.
You think there is time to teach anything else?
Besides, even if you were to graduate from university with a science or engineering degree you may have to travel to China to get a job.
You think I'm kidding? Think again.
What should be done about it??? What should be done about it is what I've been telling you people for 15 years to do about it; pull your kids out of Government run schools and either homeschool them or send them to private school.
Please, no excuses. I've heard 'em all and I don't want to hijack this thread.
Teach the history of failed Keynesian economic policies of the 1930's and compare to today's current events.
No time to teach American history.
Gots to push the homosexual agenda, the unionist agenda, the socialist mantra. Have to push anti Christian values, and push for world equality, or some such crap.
No time to teach American history.
Don't forget the Present told us that Muslims helped found the nation.
Do away with the socialized school system. The market will fix the schools.
That is what Dewey did—made history irrelevant—meaningless.
To understand why events occurred and the details of the events are tremendously interesting and pertinent to oneself. Kids should love history if it is made relevant—where they learn life lessons from it....which they don't because of Marxist revisionism. They want all ideas of Honor, Character, Virtue destroyed—so no classics—no study of the heroes of our nation and the genius of the Federalist papers.
Marxist destroy the heroes of Capitalist cultures—and revise the history so they are reviled and forgotten. So their courage, duty and wisdom isn't copied in the future. Inspiration is needed to maintain a culture—heros are always needed which includes pride.
Teachers are screened by Bill Ayer types also—as is their thinking which is corrected along with their philosophy. Marxism kills truth and interest in history. They want to redesign people so no memory of history is allowed—no attachment to traditions.
Like Churchill said of WWI. There were so many lessons to be learned—but they weren't, and because of that failure to learn from history we had WWII—an unnecessary war. Socialism/communism philosophy was already rampant in England by the end of WWI.
The U.S. is not the only one.
Around 15 years ago, I had an English kid on my staff. He was likeable and bright but knew nothing about his own country.
I though he would be a good one to discuss British history with until I discovered I knew quite a bit more about it than he did. He did know who Churchill was but that was about it.
Two UCLA economists say they have figured out why the Great Depression dragged on for almost 15 years, and they blame a suspect previously thought to be beyond reproach: President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
FDR's policies prolonged Depression by 7 years, UCLA economists calculate
It's tough to get people to give up having their lifestyles subsidized by others. Socialized schooling is as big an entitlement as Social Security and bigger than Medicare but few talk about cutting it.
Here is what my generation was required to complete in History: 4th grade, California History; 5th Grade American History; 6th grade, current American History; 9th Grade, Latin American History; 11th grade, 1 year American history and 1 year American Literature; 12th Grade 1 semester American Government and 1 semester California Government. The University Syatem 1 Semester California Government; 1 year American History to graduate.(American Government was an elective).

"I never felt that the exact dating was a worthwhile question. More important was the why question."
Sometimes the date explains the "why"; Russia's surrender to the Central Powers in 1917 led the US to get into the war the same year (after our president campaigned on the slogan "He kept us out of war" in 1916). The Battle of Hastings occurred while Viking influence was waning; before battling William, Harry had to double-time south to meet him after defeating a Viking army at Stamford Bridge.
The NAEP "Test Yourself"
Well I can at least beat a 12th grader in Geography and History. Not so sure in some other areas.
Several of the questions actually required some thinking and although I got them all right, there were some I wasn't certain of.
Don't worry, they're coming here.
Nicholas II abdicated in March 1917, shortly before Wilson asked Congress for a declaration of war against Germany, but the Russians stayed in the war until after the Bolshevik takeover in November 1917. Lenin's treaty with Germany was in the spring of 1918.
E. D. Hirsch, author of the influential book Cultural Literacy--What Every American Needs to Know (Boston: Houghton, 1987) once wrote that there are certain dates that every culturally literate American should know--1066, 1492, 1776, and 1939-1945.
1066--the Sunset Crater volcano erupted, causing chaos on Arizona's Coconino Plateau
1492--Granada, the last Muslim kingdom in Spain, fell to the Christians
1776--Two important books were published: An Inquiry Into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith (London: Cannan, 1776) and the first volume of Edward Gibbon's The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire (London: Strahan, 1776)
1939-1945--The USC Trojans won a national championship and four Rose Bowl games
California history is still taught in the fourth grade, and American history in the fifth grade.
Every fourth grader in California is supposed to research one of the mission churches established by the Spaniards in the eighteenth and early nineteenth century. Nowadays, the students usually build a model of the mission. If you meet a native Californian, ask him what he did for his fourth grade mission project or report. Mine was on Mission Nuestra Señora de la Soledad in Monterey County.
"For those of your..."
I guess proofreading ain't so hot either.
The Russians for all intents & purposes stopped fighting when the Tsar's government fell; troops left the front lines, and there was no cohesive plan any more for continuing the war. Wilson knew the Allies were doomed, and propped them up. Between the effectiveness of the U-boat campaign, and the fact that a million German troops from the eastern front could now be brought west, there was no doubt that the Central Powers would win.
As a university professor that teaches History, from my perspective in having taught freshmen classes in History, that the K12 system is totally fraked and that the reason the vast majority of students fail at history is because they are simply not taught alot of history during their high school stint. I have given in-class tests, usually during orientation week - the first week of the class/course, using high school History tests and they have failed them. =.=
To be sure, many private schools teach the same nonsense; parochial schools are usually good bang for the buck with a more-conservative curriculum, discipline, and spiritual support.
"arer not taught" or "did not learn"? I would argue that the onus is on the student to grasp the material and extend it past the minimum curricula presented, through outside reading (books, magazines, newspapers). It is no skin off the teacher's nose - they will teach a new class the following year - but the student who fails to learn will bear the penalty (often in blissful ignorance) for the rest of his life.
In my local high school district, sophomores learn world history and seniors American history. However, the classes are mostly taught by PE teachers and athletic coaches.
Ummm, kids can't do math either ... many can't read. But teachers push 'earth day' and gay rights day and Jefferson fathered a child with a slave. We hire angry union workers to teach our kids... and wonder why they can't read.

La Grenouille Manager Charles Masson Splits From Restaurant [Updated]
Masson was responsible for the French restaurant's legendary, over-the-top floral arrangements.
There's been a major shake-up at one of New York's most enduring and beloved restaurants: Charles Masson, the dashing front-of-house manager who has run his family's legendary restaurant La Grenouille for the last 40 years, abruptly left over the weekend. In his place, Masson's younger brother Philippe has flown in to New York from Brittany in order to fill his shoes. "Friday was his last night,'' confirmed a maitre d' at the midtown restaurant.
"My brother needs a break, he's taking some time off,'' Philippe Masson tells Grub Street. Philippe says that he worked at the restaurant from 1993 until 2000, but has been out of the country since, most recently in France with his mother.
Charles Masson Sr. opened the famed restaurant in 1962 with his wife; his son Charles Jr. took the restaurant over in 1975, when he was 19, and has kept the old-school restaurant going throughout the years. "Charles Masson is the one who arranges the flowers and the seating chart, trains the staff, and designs the menu, not only deciding its contents but also painting the seasonal watercolors that adorn its pages," Bon Appétit reported in 2011.
"This can be a tough business," Philippe Masson says, regarding the sudden front-of-house changes. "These things happen, and so it is. Charles made his decision and we will see what happens.''
Sources close to Charles say he is planning to open his own restaurant downtown and has been gathering investors. Emails sent to his address at La Grenouille bounced back, and messages left there for him went unreturned.
As for Philippe, he is easing into his new role.
"I used to cook here when I was much younger and it feels like yesterday,'' he says. "When you are born and raised in the business, it's like getting back in the saddle.''
Update: Charles Masson spoke with Grub Street, clarifying that he's "never owned a single share of the restaurant," (this post previous identified him as an owner) and stating that he was put into a position where it "became increasingly impossible for me as a manager to run the restaurant."

I think this week has just about got me.
Meltdown anyone? And I'm not talking about the hot weather. We are talking some hot emotions. And not the cute kind.
I've never had every single project have a deadline at the same time. Even the blog had some deadlines that took first place over actually posting. It was killing me last week, this week, I'm just like you know what, two weeks out of the year is not going to ruin you. It is so humbling when you all still come and comment and share even when I'm not visiting your sites as frequently. Thank you guys!
When I'm on the verge of losing it, getting cold stuff helps. Whether it be washing my face in cold water, sitting in front of the air conditioner vent, or drinking icy drinks, it helps cool my mood down as well as my face.
When you blend up watermelon, pineapple, and freshly squeezed lime juice, it is like summer jumped in my Ninja. Not only does it clean out all that fruit in your fridge, it is a good mix up from your normal smoothie or lemonade! If you use honey or agave, this will be sugar free, completely sweetened by the fruit. Within five minutes you can have a big tall glass of this amazing slushie as well!
PS isn't slushie fun to say? Seriously, a mood helper right there!
- 3 cups watermelon, cubed
- 2 cups pineapple, cubed
- 1 lime juice
- 3 Tablespoons sugar (honey or agave)
- 2-1/2 cup ice cubes

Created in this Craftsy class
Combine spontaneous design with traditional techniques for bold quilts that are all your own. Joe Cunningham shows you how in this lively class.
Other projects made as part of this class:
Offer some kudos...
Join the conversation...
Ask a question...
Add your comment...
What materials did you use? My own Hand dyed fabrics and commercial fabrics, 80/20 fusible batting, aurifil cotton threads: n.12 and n.28.
What are you most proud of? I finally used some of my hand dyed and text fabric and i quilted the piece with Aurifil Mako' n.28 and 12, two heavy threads tha give a lot of texture to the quilt. I am also so proud that my hubby, Vincent wants the piece for his office!
What advice would you give someone starting this project? Use fabric that is different, african, bold patterns, Japanese, something you would not use on a quilt that will serve as a "cover". Be adventuros and you will not be disappointed. This pattern will help any beginnersto start using a design wall.
Love this one. Great work.
Fantastic piece of art! I would put it in my wall any day ... Beautiful.
Question. Did you print the text fabric too?

I talked about learning a different jewelcrafting market nearly a week ago. Today I'd like to cover a different but similar jewelcrafting market: The Eternal Shuffle. This market is insanely good right now and requires less time than any of the ore shuffle as you're literally skipping an entire step.
I'll explain for those of you who didn't play during Wrath of the Lich King. You're going to be buying Eternal Earth and Eternal Shadow whenever it's cheap. What you're going to do with both of these is craft either one of two jewelcrafting rings: Shadowmight Rings & Stoneguard Bands. Once you've done this, disenchant the rings and sell the dust at the auction house. Currently Infinite dust is in high demand but the supply is rather low due to Wrath of The Lich King not being farmed as much.
As you can see below, on most servers the price for dust is in the 4-5g range, each ring you disenchant will yield anywhere from 4-7 dust or 2-3 essences and sometimes more if you have the Bountiful Bags Perk.
The great thing about doing the ' Eternal Shuffle "? There is little to no competition in the market! Enchanters need roughly 600 dust to level their enchanting from 350 to 425, that's roughly 30 stacks, if each stack is sold at 100g/stack every enchanter will spend 3,000g!
Enchanters need their dust, will you be supplying it to them or simply standing there losing out on an excellent gold making opportunity?

Facebook, Apple, Intel: Analyst Says Today's 'Darling' Stocks Will Be Dead Money
Keith Fitz-Gerald of Money Morning shares his favorites and not-so-favorite plays to watch this year, and explains why small innovators are the names to watch in tech and media.
Nancy Zambell: Right now the market, as you know, is floating around 14,000. What do you think is going to be the next big thing?
Keith Fitz-Gerald: Nancy, it's very interesting to see the market run like it is, given the underlying fundamental situation in our economy right now. We still have debt problems. We still have just squeaked by the fiscal cliff. Congress is a wreck.
There is no adult supervision in Washington, so there are plenty of reasons to be concerned. I think that whenever the markets get toppish and long in the tooth like they are today, you want to make a conscious shift as an investor, from what the world wants to what the world needs. The reason to do that is twofold:
- No. 1, I think that you want to build an upside because if the markets continue to run, you want to grab a piece of that.
- But, at the same time, you want to begin very consciously building in defensive positions, on the assumption that something could reverse unexpectedly.
And the market is overdue for a correction. If we get one, changing to what the world needs versus what it wants, gives you a defensible position.
One of my favorites right now, for example, is in the energy sector. That's clearly something the world needs. The world's growth is continuing in every industry. So never mind the headlines, the fact of the matter is oil is in demand.
Nancy Zambell: Especially in the emerging countries, right?
Keith Fitz-Gerald: Absolutely. Not only that, but they have never known cheap energy. So if you look at a country like China, or much of the Pacific Rim, or Africa, those economies have a unique advantage that we haven't had historically, in that they are partially asset-backed and they're backed by oil.
So not only do they have growing demand that is outstripping our conservation efforts here, but they actually have the asset in the ground. And that gives them an advantage and makes them attractive and appealing for investment.
Nancy Zambell: What is your favorite pick in that area?
Keith Fitz-Gerald: Believe it or not, one of my favorite picks in that arena right now is right here in the United States. Because even if we're talking about emerging markets, I think we've got a choice here in Kinder Morgan Partners (NYSE:KMP).
In the interest of full disclosure, I do own it. I don't have any investment banking relationships with them, but they're like a toll road for wealth.
The United States is critically short on pipelines. We have a lot of energy needs, and we need to move a huge amount of this stuff all over the place.
It's a simple business. You cram stuff in one end of the pipeline, you charge money for it, and you unpack it at the other end. They've got a 5.8% dividend, the last time I looked, which is a great compensation for the risk you take being in the marketplace.

Road race a 'spectacular' event
Rupert Guinness and Samantha Lane relive Marianne Vos's "dramatic" win in the road race while the Aussie cyclists say they have long careers ahead of them.PT4M41S http://www.smh.com.au/action/externalEmbeddedPlayer?id=d-237nb 620 349 July 30, 2012
Cadel Evans' fourth Olympic Games have come to a premature end after the Australian withdrew from Wednesday's time trial.
The decision was made early Monday morning (Eastern time) after Evans, 35, underwent a medical check to gauge his recovery from Saturday's 250km road race.
Evans then met with Australian team management in a scheduled post-race debriefing, where Australian team sports director Matt White said a "100 per cent mutual" decision was made for Evans to relinquish his time trial berth due to "inadequate recovery and fatigue".
Out of the time trial ... Cadel Evans.
Evans has struggled to find his best form this year. A sinus infection impaired his preparation for his unsuccessful Tour de France defence, which finished last week in Paris, and in turn he never really fully recovered for the Olympic Games.
That leaves Michael Rogers as Australia's sole entrant in the 44km time trial. Rogers has been in superb form in recent times and has reportedly recovered well from the Tour de France, in which he rode for British winner Bradley Wiggins on the Sky team.
Wiggins is favourite to win on Wednesday.
Unfortunately for Australia, Evans's spot will not be filled by another rider. Rules state a replacement must come from within Australia's five-man road team - but none of the available riders are specialist time triallists.

Vick and Tebow are two of the top 10 spread option QBs in the world and both will be available this NFL off-season. An NFL team should jump all over that opportunity. Sign both of them. Yes, both of them.
The Redskins (and, to a lesser extent, the Seahawks, 49ers and Panthers) are proving the spread option can succeed at the NFL level. No, not every NFL team or every NFL QB can run the spread option. But there are also very few top tier QBs that will take you deep into the playoffs running a traditional offense. Would you rather run a standard offense with a tier two type QB, or run the spread option with Vick and Tebow?
Yes, I know signing both of them doesn't seem to be the prescription from any of the talking heads, and most of them are saying the opposite – stay away from both QBs. But, if you are to commit to the spread option, then what better way to have both your starter and your backup run it, especially knowing the probability that your starter misses some time?
As a Bills fan, I hope the Bills sign them both.Google+

Dr. Ben Miller absent, no report given.
Dr. Onofrio reported that the MU Board of Governor's had met July 10, 2002, August 19, 2002 and their next meetings are scheduled for September 9th & 18th, 2002. There were also some meetings held telephonically. There are two new members on the Board: Robert Shell and Menis E. Ketchum. The Board has approved the 2002-2003 budget and various capital improvement projects. The Board has discussed the possibility of a 10% budget cut for 2003-2004 which would reduce MU's budget by $7 million. He reminded us that higher education was exempted from the last budget cut but probably will not be exempted this time. He stated that a budget cut could occur later this year and that actions currently in effect include a moderate hiring freeze and being proactive with our legislators. There is still a possibility of a tuition increase.
He is still gathering information about the administrator evaluation process. He wishes to present the information in a printed format at the next Faculty Senate meeting.
He informed us that his term expires in April 2003 and that he is eligible for re-election.
Dr. Sottile requested that Elaine Baker give an update on the Faculty Evaluation & Compensation Committee. She related that the committee has not yet met and arrangements are being finalized for Dr. Raoul Arreola's presentation on September 27, 2002 about his method for designing a faculty evaluation system. The September meeting provides preparation for his two day session scheduled for January 2003.
2. A. Faculty Workload Policy
Dr. Sottile discussed the draft of the "Proposal for a Flexible Workload Policy" that was prepared by the Faculty Workload Ad Hoc Committee. He solicited comments from those present.
Dr. Martin Amerikaner, chair of the ad hoc committee, stated that the guiding principles of the committee were to prepare a flexible policy that will allow a change in the workload as the university changes; a policy that promotes, encourages, and recognizes the work and diversity of faculty in their career goals; provides accountability; and demonstrates that faculty are doing what they say they are doing.
As each college/department is different there should be local control, a decentralization of the decision making policy for workloads. Deans are in the best position to make these decisions with faculty during a consultation to develop a workload plan.
What is needed is a system that truly evaluates and recognizes faculty contributions.
Dr. S. Denman stated that Dr. Angel is planning to establish a task force to seek ways of managing the budget in anticipation of a reduction. She also stated that the HEPC is reviewing all state programs and will be making announcements about program cuts due to low figures in enrollment, productivity, and graduation rates.
There were none.
There were none.

UNCASVILLE, Conn. -- Mike Powell had to play against one of the best guards he has ever faced Saturday night, and the URI point guard responded with one of his best efforts in a Rhode Island uniform.
Powell went head-to-head with Ohio State junior Aaron Craft, a preseason all-Big Ten choice and the defending Big Ten defensive player of the year. The Rhody sophomore more than held his own as both went all but the final seconds of the 69-58 Oho State victory at the Mohegan Sun Arena.
Powell scored 10 points and had six assists with only two turnovers. Craft had 13 points, four assists and one turnover. Powell, who knows all about the Big Ten since he is from Chicago, was satisfied with how it went.
"It was fun and exciting testing myself with my teammates against a team that is number three or number four in the country and playing against one of the best point guards in the country," Powell said.

CSA - Who Does It Affect?
Every company with a U.S. DOT number and operating in interstate commerce will be affected by CSA and all intrastate carriers transporting placarded hazmat.
Operating in interstate commerce means the passengers or goods have traveled into or through another state or country, or that someone has gone into another state or country to perform a service.
Even if the truck or bus does not leave the state, but the passengers or goods have or will as part of the trip, the transportation is considered to be in interstate commerce.
Interstate commerce means the goods have left their home state or the person performing a service has left his or her home state.
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) also has jurisdiction over intrastate hazmat carriers.

Dad's Favorite Remodels
From Dean Dowd on June 23, 2008 in General Remodel
Father's Day has recently come and gone, but let's face it; whenever it's Saturday it's Father's day, whenever boxes start toppling over in the garage…it's Father's day, and when Dad spends hours rubbing his beard and contemplating the kitchen…it is Father's day. Remodel ideas are coming on faster than lighters at a Rolling Stones concert. So what are Dad's top remodel choices likely to be? Here are a few odds-on favorites:
Outdoor Fireplace
Okay, so we know Dad likes the outdoors. So what if we could incorporate fire into the equation? Jackpot! An outdoor fireplace will draw friends and family out into the yard, creating more time outside and away from the TV, more time with the alluring scent of burning wood in the air, and—Dads—another excuse to get that axe out and use it.
Covered Porch
Dads like to barbeque. Dads like to get some pleasant, evening shade after work. Dads like to have a beer outside. Dad would love a covered porch or patio or even an outdoor room for relaxing and/or recreating. An outdoor room or covered porch will make for comfortable living and can add some serious value to your home.
With all these ideas flooding his mind on a daily basis, Dad will accumulate tools for that "someday" project, and he'll keep every scrap piece of wood from the last project for possible future projects. All these tools and materials will undoubtedly pile up in the garage, especially if they are unorganized. And you know he's considered putting in a work bench and tool shelves and wall hooks and more shelving there. So give dad a little nudge into the garage. It's an easy, practical remodel and will free up a lot of usable space so it benefits everyone in the house.

A woman shot in the parking lot of a shopping mall in Atlanta, Georgia on Monday afternoon has died from a gun shot wound.
The AP reports that the victim, identified as Violet Lambert, 55, of Atlanta died at WellStar Kennestone Hospital, according to police. Witnesses said she had been shot in the eye.
On Tuesday morning, police said the suspected shooter, identified as Danny Wray Brown, 59, of East Point was later found dead of an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound. Brown allegedly fired shots at a good Samaritan who tried to help the woman, but missed.
A man and a woman were involved in an alteration minutes before the shooting outside Cumberland Mall in northwest Atlanta, Cobb County Police Sgt. Dana Pierce said. The Cobb County Police department received several 911 calls at approximately 2:20 p.m.on Monday about a woman shot near the Macy's main entrance on the west side of the mall.
Monday afternoon's shooting was the second in three days outside a Cobb County shopping mall. On Saturday, a security guard was shot to death on a road leading into the Town Center at Cobb, approximately 13 miles away from the Cumberland Mall. The alleged shooter in Saturday's shooting incident later died of a self-inflicted gunshot, according to police. The two shooting incidents do not appear to be related.
Shootings at privately owned public spaces, considered "soft targets," approximately 85 percent of all the nation's infrastructure have become the norm in America. In addition to shopping malls, other "soft targets" include airports, public transportation systems, hotels, churches, universities, sports arenas and movie theaters.
The U.S. government has no control over safety and security at publicly owned space such as shopping malls. The overwhelming majority of mall security guards, the first line of defense when shootings occur, are unarmed, and poorly trained and under paid.
In September, 2010, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) extended the "If You See Something, Say Something" public awareness campaign to shopping malls across America.
Following the mass shooting at a Colorado movie theater in July, 2012, an instructional video on how to survive an active shooter incident surfaced from the U'S. Department of Homeland Security. The video offers some practical tips, such as locking doors behind you, silencing cellphones, and as a last resort, do everything possible to take the shooter down.
"Your survival may depend on whether or not you have a plan," the narrator says. "The plan doesn't have to be complicated. There are three things you could do that make a difference: run, hide, fight."
In mass shooting incidents, simply thinking about what you would do ahead of time could save lives.

When it was recently announced that the Tulsa 66ers were relocating to Oklahoma City, it wasn't a complete surprise to those within the 66ers' inner circle. With such a close relationship between the 66ers and their affiliation with the Oklahoma City Thunder, being in Oklahoma City makes perfect sense as far as player movement between the clubs, keeping an even closer watch over player development and training, and building an even stronger fan base for the D-League franchise.
With the 66ers leaving the SpiritBank Event Center to head down the Turner Turnpike, it marks the third location in Tulsa that the 66ers called home (including the Expo Square Pavilion and the Tulsa Convention Center). Each had its problems (with the Pavilion being a very dated facility, the Convention Center offering a bigger facility with not much game-day environment and few free parking spaces, and SpiritBank Event Center offering even fewer free parking spaces), but there was a core group of Tulsa 66ers fans who supported the team every game, no matter the record or opponent.
66ers fans and supporters can say that they were there to witness the growth of Reggie Jackson into a player who shined for the Thunder in last year's postseason and the birth of what will be a solid NBA coaching career for Nate Tibbetts, who paced the 66ers to a D-League finals berth and now helps the Portland Trail Blazers.
It was also a chance for the Thunder faithful in Tulsa to get closer to their team down the turnpike. Whether it was an appearance by Rumble or watching a Williams or Perry Jones grow into a solid NBA presence, 66ers fans could be up close and personal with their team. That was a good thing, and that will be missed.
It was a good run but make no mistake, this is not a slap in the face of Tulsa sports. The Los Angeles D-Fenders and Lakers have proven having the D-League team that close can work for the good of both. The 66ers and Thunder will prove that as well.

The Greenville Health System is asking for a voluntary request banning children under 18-years-old from visiting certain areas of the campus, WYFF4 reported January 10.
The request came today after accessing the spread of influenza, which is the worst the Greenville area has seen in the last six years. GHS is asking no one under the age of 18 to visit its Children's Hospital, the Women's Hospital or the Women's Center on the Greer and Laurens medical campuses.
Cases of influenza have been up since December. Here are some statistics on how cases have multiplied in the past month
*December 8 had 66 positive cases
*December 15 had 181 positive cases
*December 22 had 293 positive cases
More than 1,000 people have tested positive since October, 2013, with 80 being admitted to the GHS hospitals.
To complicate matters, Medline Plus reported on January 8 that manufacturing problems have created a shortage of the liquid form of Tamiflu. The oral suspension is designed for children who are not yet old enough to swallow the drug in capsule form.
According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the drug's maker, Genentech, has fallen behind in the production of the liquid form. No shortages have been reported yet on Tamiflu capsules. An oral suspension can also be made from the capsule form if the need arises.
Right now limiting visitors to the above mentioned facilities is a precaution. In a report today by NBC News, 10 children have died nationwide from influenza, with 2600 being admitted to hospitals.
The H1N1 strain going around this season is affecting more young people and people of middle age. Still, everyone should be aware that any age can contract the flu, and exposure to any place the flu can be transmitted should be avoided if at all possible.

Finding My Place: My Musical Struggle with Chronic Illness
Finding My Place
From Tenure-Track Faculty to At-Home Wife and Part-Time Piano Teacher:
My Musical Struggle with Chronic Illness
January 2012
In the late 1990s, as an impressionable and eager graduate student, I was encouraged by my piano pedagogy professor to attend MTNA national conferences, NCKP conferences, and additional local and state conferences as often as I could. These experiences truly broadened my perspective as a young teacher and changed the way I approached my future career as a music professor. After attending a few conferences, my professor and I presented a session at a state conference, and I admit I was absolutely hooked from that point forward and wanted to experience the excitement of sharing knowledge again. Together we prepared and presented a research poster session at the next year's MTNA conference, then as a doctoral student and young faculty member, I presented more poster sessions on my own. My future goals immediately began to form and included the desire to communicate more research via workshops, poster sessions, and articles at local, state, and national venues, and become a strong and contributing leader within the national piano pedagogy community. This was my professional goal and the place I desired and aspired to be.
Fast-forward a few years to 2007. As a young full time faculty member, I attended the MTNA National Conference in Toronto and continued learning, forming new perspectives towards my own teaching, and assembling ideas into prospective sessions and articles. I was excited to return home and begin focusing my attention on these new projects. However, during the first part of my plane ride, high above the snowy landscape of the Rocky Mountains, I was stricken with terrible pains radiating throughout my body. I had no idea what was happening to me because nothing like this had ever occurred before. I thought to myself, "If I could just get home and lie down, everything will be okay." I didn't know it at the time, but that moment as the plane touched down in Denver was the last moment I would think of myself, my career, and my life in the same way.
Throughout the coming months, I continued to experience more severe pain and brain fog (which is exactly what it sounds like), and I became more and more fatigued, irritable, anxious, and depressed. Then one day in September 2008 it happened. I awoke one morning and for a moment thought I was paralyzed. Read More...

Los Angeles -- The UCLA athletic department and women's tennis coach Stella Sampras have recently appointed Jon Reeves assistant coach, replacing former assistant Rance Brown, who has moved on to continue his private coaching career.
Reeves comes to UCLA after serving a two-year term as co-director of tennis at the Weil Tennis Academy in Ojai, Calif. Prior to that, he was vice president of the ACE Tennis Academy in Atlanta, Ga., from 1997-99.
"We're very excited that Jon will be joining our coaching staff," said Sampras, who is entering her fifth season as UCLA's head coach. "He brings a wealth of experience as both a player and a coach, and I think he will have a tremendous impact on this program."
Reeves, who has over six years of professional coaching experience, is also an accomplished player having lettered four years at the University of South Carolina from 1989-93.
He has been a certified member of the United States Professional Tennis Association (USPTA) since 1997.

In this book, photographer David Alexander Bjorkman tells the story of a world traveler now limited in his mobility by Post Polio Syndrome, the weakening of muscles in an adult who suffered Polio as a child. Turning his camera on Don Legg, David portrays the joys and challenges of travel on crutches and in a wheelchair within the colonial city of Merida, in Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula.
Easily fatigued and needing a wheelchair to go any distance, Mr. Legg now spends the winter months of December and January in Merida, never going beyond a two-block radius of the hotel where he stays.
David and his writer wife Victoria Thomas encountered Mr. Legg when they were working on their book "Climbing the Pyramid, Rediscovering Maya Mysteries from Chichen Itza's Great Pyramid." He occupied a hotel room a few doors down from theirs, and finally asked them what they were doing in Merida since people rarely stay in the hotel more than two or three nights.
After two years of seeing Mr. Legg in the hotel each winter, David asked if he could photograph his daily activities during one week. Mr. Legg readily agreed and allowed David into the small world reachable in a wheelchair, which includes the Sunday fair in the central park, the Cathedral, a favorite hot-dog parlor, and a university and theater that offers plays and concerts.
"Yucatan Traveler" is a photographic essay of one man's journey of traveling with a disability.
David Bjorkman has worked as a photojournalist and war photographer, magazine art director and book publisher. His photos have been published in more than 20 countries. As a photographer, he has been smuggled across borders at night and survived a chopper being shot out from under him. He has slept on the floor of a Lakota Sioux holy man's house for months while completing a book project. He has been a member of the Explorer's Club and photographed, while on an Explorer's Club expedition into the Darien jungle of Panama, the Choco Indian chief who taught jungle survival to the original U.S. Apollo astronauts. An avid Mayanist who has published six books on the topic, he has led tours to the Maya Yucatan region of Mexico, and scoured jungles for hidden pyramids. He holds an MFA degree from the University of Colorado, and has been a fine arts instructor and an artist whose work is held in private collections in the U.S and Europe, and has been exhibited in both galleries and museums.

There's a new housewife on "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" and she's not even a woman! On Sunday, March 16, one of the show's real housewives, Kandi Burruss, joked that Peter Thomas, husband of housewife Cynthia Bailey, has now become a housewife himself.
Kandi posted a photo of Peter with the words, "NEWEST HOUSEWIFE OF ATLANTA," superimposed on top.
"by @kingdomlos "Now that @peterthomasrhoa has earned his peach, watch what shenegians he gets into tonight on an ALL NEW episode of RHOA at 8pm! Question: Do y'all think Peter is messy???" Everybody follow our new housewife @peterthomasrhoa ! Lol! J/k Peter," she captioned the photo.
The photo is obviously poking fun of Peter's habit of getting involved in and interjecting himself into the personal affairs of the housewives. On a recent episode of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta," Peter met up with Porsha Stewart's ex-husband, Kordell Stewart, to get his side of the story on their divorce and later badgered Porsha about the demise of her marriage during the group's trip to Mexico.
Peter had a sense of humor about the photo.
"Funny stuff! But both y'all know I keep it 100, speak my mind and nothing is gonna change. #RHOA," he replied.
Perhaps one day Peter really will show up on an episode holding a peach?!?!
Do you, like Kandi Burruss, think that Peter Thomas is getting a bit too involved in the housewives's lives?

Perhaps you've heard that a college degree just isn't worth it
anymore. That's not true according to the latest statistics. Check
out a Huffington Post article by Joseph Pisani titled: "Yes, A College Degree Still Worth It..."
Based on a report released in June by
the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, two economists used federal
data to show that a person with a bachelor's degree can expect to
earn about $1.2 million more, from ages 22 to 64, than someone with
just a high school diploma. They also earn significantly more than
what a person with just an associate's degree would earn over that
same period.
The report said that between 1970 and 2013, those with a
four-year bachelor's degree earned an average of about $64,500 per
year, while those with a two-year associate's degree earned about
$50,000 per year and those with only a high school diploma earned
$41,000 per year.
So, if the nay-sayers are holding you back, don't let them.
Finishing your degree is one of the best investments you can make.
And finishing a bachelor's degree in biomedical science is
even smarter!
In this video, Dr. Randy Swenson, Dean of the College of Allied
Health Sciences, talks about how NUHS' Bachelor of
Biomedical Science degree completion program can be tailored to
fit any of a wide number of career paths.
Whether you plan to stay at NUHS for a professional degree, or apply to another
graduate school, National's convenient evening classes can help you
finish you B.S. degree in as few as 16 months.
You can learn more about our Bachelor of Biomedical Science
program by attending one of our Campus Visit Day or "Student for a Day" events.
Email us at email@example.com or call
us at 1-800-826-6285 for more information.
One great feature of the bachelor's degree completion program
here at NUHS, is the option to choose an "emphasis in nutrition."
Many students are choosing this, as it's a great complement to a
B.S. in Biomedical Science.
We decided to talk with one of NUHS' favorite professors, who is
the nutrition "guru" here at NUHS. Dr. Daniel Richardson is the
assistant dean for the College of Allied Health Sciences, and holds
bachelors, masters and PhD degrees from Loyola University
Stritch School of Medicine in Pharmacology and Pharmocognosy. He is
a Diplomate in the American Association of Nutrition Consultants as
well as a Certified Nutrition Consultant. (Yes, that's the caliber
of our undergraduate faculty here!)
"There is a growing interest in nutrition in our country, and
people are taking charge of their own health through better
nutrition," he says. "Most medicine is based largely on the body's
ability to heal itself, but that can only happen if the patient has
the right amount of nutrients."
For a student hoping to become a naturopathic physician some
day, Dr. Richardson made it clear that you don't have to become a
nutritionist to benefit from an education in nutrition. He explains
that, "Whatever type of health professional you plan to be, be it a
chiropractic or naturopathic physician, dentist, an M.D., an
optometrist, or a nurse, a solid knowledge of nutrition will help
you make better diagnoses and provide better care for your
The great part about choosing this emphasis is that when you
graduate, it's reflected on your NUHS diploma. To do an emphasis in
nutrition means you can't just take any courses you want, like the
regular BS degree. You need to have 19 hours of credit in nutrition
courses such as:
An "emphasis" is like an added credential or a sub-major within
biomedical science. Dr. Richardson reports that the university
hopes to develop other areas of emphasis in the future.

Zambian coaches benefit from Black Cats
by Sunderland AFC
SAFC continue Premier Skills work.
Coaches from Zambia are benefiting from a ground-breaking football initiative led by Sunderland AFC delegates.
This week, SAFC's head of international football development, Graham Robinson, has been educating future coaches the skills needed to improve their coaching portfolio thanks to Premier Skills initiative.
Graham who has travelled to Lusaka, Zambia this week said: "We have been delivering a number of different coaching sessions to the36 coaches, including passing, dribbling and attacking sessions. These sessions will help improve the portfolio of our coaches and their ability to run projects in their local communities."
The Premier Skills programme which uses football to develop a brighter future for young people around the world, draws upon the global appeal of the Premier League and its expertise in delivering community projects in the UK, alongside the British Council's global network and track record of delivery.
As part of the Zambia Premier Skills programme, the 36 coaches have also been learning how to develop long term plan for football projects, with the coaches been tasked to generate ideas for future projects.
Tackle Africa also delivered a presentation to the coaches about how they can use the medium of football to deliver key messages about HIV and aids.
Following the presentation, Graham and Caroline Ames from the club's Foundation of Light gave the coaches an insight into the club's work in Africa and how it has established itself as one of the most recognised and respected English Premier League clubs across Africa due to its partnerships, football club relationships and grass-roots activities.
The Black Cats boast two partner clubs in Africa – Bidvest Wits in South Africa and Asante Kotoko in Ghana – and are currently spearheading an exciting academy project in Tanzania, in addition to a range of partnership and sponsorship agreements.
