Most of my regular readers know that it is only within the last three years that I left the professional world to concentrate on home educating and parenting. In my life three years ago, I worked as a nurse educator. I have a master’s degree in Critical Care Nursing. I was never even remotely interested in psychiatric nursing. The field of psychiatry doesn’t make sense to my analytical math and science brain. I like things to have a concrete, well-defined cause and effects. If I were to go toThe 4th
Happy Independence Day from Paperback Writer ". . . the genius of the United States is not best or most in its executives or legislatures, nor in its ambassadors or authors, or colleges or churches or parlors, nor even in its newspapers or inventors — but always most in the common people, south, north, west, east, in all its States, through all its mighty amplitude." -- Walt Whitman, Preface, 1855, to First Issue of Leaves of Grass Photo credit: © Elementalimaging | Dreamstime.comPOISE & IVY
On this quiet eve, anniversary of our national introduction to a radical idea—“all men created equal”—I have been pondering a blog entry posted a couple of weeks ago over at Eduwonkette. E-wonkette threw out a link to and some speculation about William Deresiewicz’ article in The American Scholar, “The Disadvantages of an Elite Education: Our best universities have forgotten that the reason they exist is to make minds, not careers.” Deresiewicz poked at lots of sacred cattle, suggesting that eThe Real Problems with the "Separation" of Church and State
The Real Problems with the "Separation" of Church and State The liberals in America are upset with Barack Obama. On Tuesday, the Democratic nominee announced a plan to expand faith-based government-funded charities. The New York Times reports: Senator Barack Obama said Tuesday that if elected president he would expand the delivery of social services through churches and other religious organizations, vowing to achieve a goal he said President Bush had fallen short on during his two terms. “The Big Hedge in the Sky
Add to the soup of my bizarro busy schedule this week a good dose of grief over the passing of the UGA mascot last weekend. UGA VI was the winningest mascot yet of the line of UGA’s. Little did I know that this picture from last year’s homecoming would be my last of the Big Boy in his traditional wallow on the endzone ritual. Deep, sad sigh. Unless you went to UGA, you will never understand the depth of my (our) sorrow. Damn Good Dawg Regardless of any student/former student/alumni’s family pWhere the Linear Crosses the Exponential

He enjoys entertaining suspect heresies just to see if he can learn anything from them. He’ll take an unusual position and then calculate what would happen if it were true.

Some of the consequences of rising petrol prices are actually quite positive, including less traffic congestion, reduced pollution, improved health and fitness, and, saving the best for last, possibly even four day work weeks: [US] Companies, colleges and governments are moving to four-day weeks.

Over the year, sick leave fell 50%, and Cal Poly needs more than a PR makeover
Years ago, I had an opportunity to review one of the first “Yankelovich Monitors” in the 70’s. Daniel Yankelovich is brilliant. I think his strength has always been in identifying trends, not necessarily how these trends can best be used to help your business, political strategy or public relations effort. The best person to apply his observations is the person or company involved. So, what does Daniel Yankelovich have to do with making Cal Poly better? Actually, he has published in a coupleAsian Students: Victims of “Diversity”
From Minding the Campus, an account of how an inconvenient minority is being victimized in the name of “diversity.” One of the least-kept secrets in higher education is the fact that many colleges and universities, especially the more select ones, consciously seek to suppress their “Asian” student enrollment. During the first year of my term as a regent of the University of California (UC), a prominent member of the staff at one of the UC campuses remarked to me that at least two of the UC campRecycling Carbon Tax Revenues
One key feature of Dion’s carbon tax proposal - among others - is that revenues are recycled back almost exclusively to households to maintain living standards, especially at the lower income end, while still preserving incentives to save on energy consumption. That’s reasonable as far as it goes. But what about the public sector and public consumption? What is the offset to increased heating and power costs in schools, hospitals, universities and colleges, government buildings etc etc.? PerhapThe ’60s Begin to Fade as Liberal Professors Retire
By PATRICIA COHEN NYT MADISON, Wis. — When Michael Olneck was standing, arms linked with other protesters, singing “We Shall Not Be Moved” in front of Columbia University’s library in 1968, Sara Goldrick-Rab had not yet been born. When he won tenure at the University of Wisconsin here in 1980, she was 3. And in January, when he retires at 62, Ms. Goldrick-Rab will be just across the hall, working to earn a permanent spot on the same faculty from which he is departing.

I’ve been impressed by several things at the NACC. Walking around the exhibitors’ area shows a great number of church planting ministries — most of them incredibly successful by all accounts. There are a ton of colleges I’ve never heard of — it’s amazing how thick that keyboard wall is. The preaching has been outstanding as has been the worship. There is a real passion for evangelism and missions that is evident in each lesson, exhibit, and in the materials on offer.

Earlier this week, sister GSW site GameCareerGuide.com posted a second story about life at a Japanese game school, as written by Andrea Rubenstein, who "...had two recent goals in life: to become a fluent Japanese speaker and to find a game development school that would accept her somewhere in Japan." The first GCG story on the subject tackled her successful attempts to get into HAL, and this new one discusses day to day life at the Osaka-based game academy.

This would be a nice change.

Wearing a pith helmet and brandishing a blunderbuss, Marshbaum burst into my office and ordered me to the floor. I looked at my faux friend and media foil, about to ask him what his latest scheme was. With Marshbaum, who was fed “Honeymooners” episodes by IV when he was a child, everything is a scheme to make money. But, in the fraction of time I had before he yelled for me to get under my desk and cover my head, I quickly determined he was serious. “We’re at war!” he shouted, hyper-kinetica |
