Knowledge Based versus Performance Based Debate
J,C. Bowman
Tennessee Institute of Public Policy
NASHVILLE- Here are just a few notes I have been able to put together from responses I received on the "Knowledge Based" versus "Performance Based" debate taking place in the "conference committee" on HR1 and S1. I owe a debt of gratitude to all those who helped me assemble background information.
Two months ago the U.S. House of Representatives passed HR-1, the reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). The Senate subsequently passed the legislation (S-1) with onerous mandates. The legislation now goes to a conference committee where the differences need to be worked out. The final "conference report" will need to be passed one final time by both the House and the Senate before going on to the President for his signature.
The Mackinac Center and Hudson Institute put out a paper in 1995 about Outcome Based Education and its pitfalls. The paper is worth reading. The Thomas B. Fordham Foundation and the Family Research Council have also been active in this area.
Diana Ravitch, fellow at Brookings, wrote a history of progressive education fads called Left Back . I also encourage you to visit the website of the Heritage Foundation and look at this article: http://www.heritage.org/library/backgrounder/bg1427es.html . Krista Kafer an education analyst at the Heritage Foundation is an excellent resource. Her number is 202-546-4400.
To fully do battle in education reform, understanding the terminology is a must. An outstanding glossary can be found in the 1996 book The Schools We Need & Why We Don't Have Them (1996), written by Dr. E. D. Hirsch, Jr., and published by Doubleday (1-800-323-9872). The education terminology provides a powerful arsenal for defense, I encourage education reformers and others interested in improving education and understanding the education jargon to visit the Texas Education Consumers Association website at http://www.fastlane.net/~eca/Terminology.html . Jeanne Donovan heads the Texas Education Consumers Association . Their address is P. O. Box 16058 Fort Worth, TX 76162
Describing the performance-based definition, Dr, Hirsh states: "The original term used by specialists in the psychometric literature for what is called variously 'authentic assessment,' 'exhibitions,' and 'portfolio assessment.'" In simple terms, it means a student would receive a grade for an entire essay or a musical performance, just as they might in the real world. However, critics of performance-based assessment claim that "performances" in school do not duplicate the real world. "The most important criticism is that when used for high-stakes testing, performance tests are much less fair and reliable than well-constructed objective tests the best uses of performance tests are as lower-stakes 'formative' tests, which help serve the goals of teaching and learning within the context of a single course of study."
Former Texas Public School Teacher Donna Garner (236 Cross Country Drive, Hewitt, TX 76643. Telephone: (254) 666-2798. E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com writes about one amendment that is needed in the education bill conference report, I completely agree with her assessment. Here is what Mrs. Garner wrote:
HR 1 contains Rep. Todd Akin's amendment (numbered 17 in House Report 107-69): "The testing required in Section 1111(b)(4) must be a test of objective knowledge, based on measurable, verifiable, and widely accepted professional testing and assessment standards, and shall not assess the personal opinions, attitudes, or beliefs of the student being tested."
In other words, "the test" must be a test of objective knowledge (right or wrong, up or down, correct or incorrect answers) and cannot assess students' subjective, fuzzy personal opinions, attitudes, or beliefs.
At the present time, the Senate version does not contain the Akin amendment.
The conference committee has the power to adopt the Akin amendment as a part of its final conference committee package.
The Akin amendment would cause teachers to focus their classroom instruction on knowledge-based, academic content instead of on performance-based instruction (PBI), which has led to the lowering of academic standards.
It is PBI which has led to fuzzy math where process is commonly considered more important than generating the correct answer.
It is PBI which has led teachers away from emphasizing right or wrong answers in math, spelling, and grammar. Instead students have begun to substitute "fluff" rather than accurate answers.
It is PBI which has produced student writers who demonstrate lack of intellectual depth in their compositions but who, instead, fill their papers with touchy-feely slogans and unsupported personal opinions.
It is PBI which has driven textbook publishers away from the inclusion of traditional classics in their textbooks. Instead publishers are filling their books with one- and two-page selections that have more to do with the ethnicity of the author than with the quality of the author's wordsmanship.
It is PBI which has led "social studies" teachers to create an amalgam of unconnected dots for their students that leaves them devoid of historical, geographical, and governmental knowledge.
Performance-based assessments are valid in the local classroom for limited amounts of instructional time; but at the state level, such subjectively scored assessments produce subjective, questionable results.
Everyone on both sides of the political spectrum should want quality/credible testing data, and subjective scoring on state-mandated tests only leads to chaos and confusion.
State-mandated test results do not need to be calculated based upon the subjective evaluations of graders.
For a summary of some of the positive amendments in the education bill, see the Maple River Education Coalition PAC (MREdCoPAC) report "After the House Vote," http://mredcopac.org/upda0178.htm . Maple River Education Coalition PAC is located at 1402 Concordia, St. Paul, MN 55104. Their telephone number is 651-646-0646.
Julie Quist, of the Maple River Education Coalition PAC states "In Minnesota, the system called the Profile of Learning is defined as assessing what a student can "do," certain specified behaviors. For a clear, simple description of how academic 'tests' were transformed to 'assessments,' see Chapter 2, 'The Profile of Learning,' especially p. 2-3 of "THE SEAMLESS WEB"( http://mredcopac.org/book0004.htm ).
Ms. Quist added: "This is, of course, replicated in every state, because Title I of the ESEA mandates "performance assessments" in every state. It is in this manner that academic achievement has been replaced with merely minimum competencies and attitudes/behaviors/beliefs. All of the tests have been aligned to the redefined curriculum of performance." The MREdCoPAC analysis of the NAEP is available at: http://mredcopac.org/arti0018.htm .
Ms Quist believes "the nationally norm-referenced tests have also been aligned in the same manner. For example the present day Iowa Basics Tests is very similar to what one can find in the NAEP test, all measuring primarily attitudes, a worldview."
She concluded, "as far as specific examples, the entire assessment system, the entire set of standards is now built around the requirement to know almost nothing academically, but the student is steeped in a worldview that they must learn. Perhaps a good example of that is that a third of all 1st year college students now require remediation in reading and math. Or take a look at what the Basic Skills Test in Minnesota actually requires to graduate from high school. It is shocking to see that they are testing functional literacy only, and many students have trouble passing it. But nothing higher is required as far as academics go. The 'high standards' can be passed by being present."
The leading advocate for "knowledge-based" Mathematics is Mathematically Correct. New York Post Reporter David Gelernter describes Mathematically Correct as "the informal, nationwide organization that fights the Establishment in behalf of sanity and quality in math education." Located at P.O. Box 22083, San Diego, CA 92192-2083, nationally recognized math experts scientists, as well as parents lead this group.
Alarmed by the breakdown of K-12 math education Dr. Bill Quirk of Guilford, Connecticut ( firstname.lastname@example.com) uses his website at http://wgquirk.com/ to challenge the progressive philosophy of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM). Dr. Quirk has taught courses at Penn State, Northern Illinois University, and Jacksonville (Florida) University. His company, William G. Quirk Seminars, has served hundreds of organizations, including AT&T, Bank of America, FDIC, Federal Reserve Board, General Electric, General Foods, Harvard Business School, Hewlett-Packard, Hughes Aircraft, IBM, MIT, Mobil Oil, NASA, NIH, Texas Instruments, and The Travelers.
Jacob Loshin wrote in The Education Gadfly , News and Analysis from the Thomas B. Fordham Foundation, (Volume 1, Number 9. July 12, 2001) "As Congress wraps up the ESEA reauthorization process, standards-based reform has taken center stage. Soon, the debate over 'adequate yearly progress' and other exciting details will end, and a timeless question will re-emerge: motivated by these new incentives, how should schools transform themselves in order to increase student achievement? "
According to Uncommon Wisdom, a report by Mass Insight, "the answer lies not in the halls of Congress, but in the schools and districts that are already making large gains. Aiming to identify specific 'best practices,' the report profiles nine Massachusetts schools (and one district) that outperform their demographic peers on state tests. The snapshots result in suggestions ranging from improved teacher collaboration to increased classroom time to enhanced use of student-level test data. However, school culture transcends all. In each of the high-achieving schools, the report observed a "common focus- a laser-like focus on higher standards for students - and a readiness to take on even the most intractable barriers to change." Mass Insight has only released the executive summary of the forthcoming report, slated for publication this fall.

Stocks fall, oil rises as Egypt's turmoil roils markets
Crude oil nearly hits $100 a barrel in New York as Egypt's political standoff gets more dangerous. Stocks tumble, despite strong June auto sales.
Stocks surged Tuesday for a second day in a row in the morning but faded in the afternoon -- as a potentially larger story emerged that may hit stocks Wednesday: rising oil prices.
Light sweet crude oil (-CL) nearly hit $100 in New York on Tuesday as turmoil grew in Egypt. How that story plays out may affect global markets over the next few days. Light sweet crude was trading at $101 a barrel early Wednesday, and stock markets around the world were mostly lower.
The irony of the gains for crude in New York -- as well as Brent crude in London -- is that those price increases have come as U.S. pump prices have fallen for the last 20 days in a row. The big question is if the declines will continue. A sudden and steep increase in pump prices will hurt consumers both financially and psychologically.
The result of the TV pictures of millions protesting in Cairo. as a power struggle between Egyptian president Mohammed Morsi and the Egyptian army worsened. was to gut a decent U.S. stock market rally. Stocks did rebound a bit from afternoon lows.
The Dow Jones industrials ($INDU) had been been up as many as 140 points but closed down 43 points. The loss could have been worse. The Dow was down as many as 104 points around 2:35 p.m. ET.
The Standard & Poor's 500 Index ($INX) fell 1 point to 1,614. But the ride to that level included a gain of as many as 18 points and a swing to a decline of 8 points.
The Nasdaq Composite Index ($COMPX) was off 1 point as well, after seeing a 20-point gain slide briefly to a 19-point loss.
Futures trading early Wednesday signaled a weak open ahead for stocks.
Tuesday's gyrations were due to the worry about Egypt -- and then hope things might turn out all right. In addition, there was terrific news on auto sales. Automakers had their best month in some six years, with June sales hitting an annualized sales rate of 16 million units. Growth in pickup sales was a big reason for the sales gains.
Light sweet crude oil in New York settled at $99.60 a barrel, up $1.61 from Monday and up $3.04 a barrel this week. It moved higher in electronic trading later in the day and is up more than 4% this week alone.
Brent crude, which has a outsized influenced on U.S. retail gasoline prices, added $1 to $104 a gallon. Brent was at $104.75 a barrel in early Wednesday trading -- a gain of 2.5% this week.
Despite those increases, there's been that decline in gasoline prices. According to AAA's Daily Fuel Gauge Report, the average price of regular unleaded gas has fallen from $3.632 a gallon on June 13 to $3.478 on Tuesday, a decline of 15.4 cents, or 4.2%.
The decline has been big enough that only Hawaiian and Alaskan drivers are dealing with prices above $4 a gallon and may be a strong reason that consumer confidence has been rising recently.
But that confidence may become damaged by the rising tensions in Egypt between Morsi and his Islamist supporters, and young people and the army. The army demanded Morsi patch relations with his opponents by Wednesday -- or the army would impose its own resolution. Late Tuesday, Morsi defiantly refused to resign.
The risk of Egypt is not its production, which is relatively small. A big risk is what happens if the Suez Canal shuts down, disrupting some shipments to Europe. And an even bigger risk is if the turmoil in Egypt affects oil production elsewhere in the Middle East.
Here in the U.S., we will find out just how big oil reserves are elsewhere, particularly from all those shale deposits that have been boosting U.S. oil production in the last few years after years of decline.
The growth in crude production is driving the biggest drop in crude imports in two decades. Another casualty: Rates for the oil tankers most reliant on the shipments are the weakest at least 16 years, Seeking Alpha noted today.
Should pump prices start to move higher and stay higher for an extended period of time, you could see those nice auto sales get hurt.
Stocks, meanwhile, we face what in theory should be a quiet day on Wednesday -- because markets close at 1 p.m. ET. Volume already has moved lower as Wall Street heads to the beach or the mountains for an extended holiday weekend.
But Egypt and a resumption of worries about political turmoil in Portugal that could upset austerity plans weighed on markets early Wednesday.
There are economic reports due Wednesday that could also move markets:
- The ADP National Employment Index, which tracks private employment trends.
- The monthly report on big layoffs from Challenger Gray Christmas
- The Institute for Supply Management's monthly report on the non-manufacturing report.
Twelve of the 30 Dow stocks were higher, along with 204 stocks in the S&P 500 and 40 stocks in the Nasdaq-100 Index ($NDX). The index finished up 2 points to 2,930. Apple (AAPL) helped, rising $9.27 to $418.49.

Egypt is having problems....does that mean all of a sudden all the other nations start needing more oil? Yes I know it is a global situation...oil........but maybe.....the time will come that oil is not that big of a deal?.......I may be dead but would love to see the young Americans kick this opec out of their sandbags.
It's CORRUPTION AND GREED by people who know you can't do anything about it. It will not change because politicians are getting RICH so therefore to them there is no problem. They don't even pay for their own gas so what the hell do they care. People in this country losing time from work due to government sequester while we give our money away to other countries.
This is the kind of government you expect to help the AMERICAN people. All they are worried about is our tax dollars.

A Hammam Fix For Softer Hands
Next to the always unattractive peeling face, chapped dry hands have to be one of the more unpleasant signs of seasonal change. Mittens and gloves can only go so far to cover up cracked skin, and the options for more permanent relief aren't exactly thrilling. Sticky hand creams, clumsy mitts worn overnight, and paraffin wax treatments all feel more like punishment than pleasure. Fortunately, Davines has stepped it up with an entirely luxurious and effective solution. Its new Hammam Ritual Hand Treatment borrows from the traditions of the Turkish hammam, the steamy exfoliation and massage technique that sloughs off dead skin to reveal the softer stuff underneath. The two-step kit includes a unique gel-cream hand scrub and velvety hand cream made with skin-healing spices like black pepper and bergamot along with emollient rice bran oils. Each is packaged in an adorable bottle (perfect for storing on a bedside table) and is free of parabens or artificial dyes. To use, simply rub the hand scrub on damp skin in small circular motions—it functions like a kinder version of the rough Turkish kessa mitt to dissolve flaky skin—then massage in a small dab of the hand cream, paying extra attention to ragged cuticles, while sipping on some fresh mint tea. OK, that last part is optional but we highly recommend it.
Davines Hammam Ritual Hand Treatment, $28, available November 1. See www.davines.com for salon locations.

Sick Food
The Borscht was even better after sitting for a couple of months! I did blend it a bit to break up the potatoes since they can get mealy in the freezer.
I think Borscht is an overlooked soup. I add white beans to mine so it is a one pot meal. There's nothing better than a hot bowl of soup when you have a cold. I was surprised by how many of you have never had Borscht when I post the recipe in December! What are you waiting for? It's so good and super cheap. You can use canned beets in a pinch, but I love using fresh ones because you can use the beet greens as well.
Have you ever had Baby Beet Greens? I think those might be my very favorite greens ever! One dish I remember so fondly was also another sick dish made with Adzuki beans, sweet potatoes and baby beet greens. Yum!
Raw Pho, w warming it up on the stove. I'd say this might just be the best sick food ever. Garlic, ginger, spice, veggies. You can feel your circulation improving while you eat.
I love using food as medicine.
What are your favorite sick foods?

Soup is definitely the best thing when I'm sick. I hope you feel better soon!ReplyDelete
I love making a really light borscht in the early summer, with new baby beets, their greens, new potatoes, tomatoes, carrots, fresh dill. mmmmmm. winter borscht is good too, definitely lots of potatoes and white beans for sure! and caraway seeds! I think I just talked myself into making borscht this week, yum ;)ReplyDelete
I love brothy soups when I'm sick, miso with tons of ginger, garlic & veggies. and green smoothies! feel better!
Soup is great, especially when sick! I've finally acquired a real taste for beets, so I'll have to try Borscht again. Feel better soon!ReplyDelete
matzo ball soup it my go to for sickie days. a beautiful clear broth with matzo balls and I like mine with carrots and celery and onions in it- and I am a huge borscht lover, I like mine hot!!ReplyDelete
Hope you feel better soon!ReplyDelete
I have only eaten borscht on a few occassions, I must try your recipe! I have beets in the fridge at the moment.
If I'm ever sick, I always crave really spicy food...but then I crave it when I'm well too, so not sure that's very significant.
The raw pho sounds just the thing to get better by.
I found your blog through a comment you left on another food blog. I love how clear and pretty your blog is! Its fun to look through! I would love to see more glutenfree recipes...since Im gluten intolerant and lactose intolerant...not to mention intolerant to coconut! Oh well..thanks for contributing to the foodie blogs on the net!ReplyDelete
Sorry you were sick! I got sick right around this time too. Hope you're feeling better now.ReplyDelete

From WENN.com
The Facts of Life star married Strauss in 1950 and they went on to have two children before divorcing in 1975, a short time after the Grammy Award winner confessed to having an affair with another man.
And in her new memoir, The Facts of My Life, Rae reveals she was heartbroken when she learned the truth about his sexuality.
In an excerpt, obtained by the New York Post, she writes, ""First came the shock of what he had done behind my back, then the sting of being deceived for years. All I could feel was the betrayal and, worse than that, my shame...
""John's secret confirmed my feelings of inferiority. That I was less than a woman... That I didn't deserve to be loved and valued.""
The TV veteran also discusses her time working on the hit U.S. sitcom and portraying Edna Garrett in Diff'rent Strokes.

There are signs that food retailers are finally reversing the trend in serving sizes [1], and responding to the rising number of consumers looking for meals that are tasty and just-big-enough.
Starbucks has experimented for several months now with "petite" desserts, tiny portions of sweet stuff priced at $1.50 apiece (cheap for Starbucks!). The top seller is the Birthday Cake Pop, "a couple of bites of rounded, icing-covered cake on a stick."
The idea has been so successful that Starbucks is building on it by introducing Bistro Boxes, small meals with less than 500 calories. Entrees includes Sesame Noodles and a Chicken Lettuce Wrap.
Kraft and Coca-Cola are also "beefing up" their line-up of small-portioned, low-calorie "foods" (er...make that "offerings").
This is a nice change -- portion size is certainly important -- but calorie counts alone don't ensure that a food is healthy. The ingredients matter. To that end, Google is taking a slightly different tack.
At its California headquarters, Google offers its employees wholesome foods free of charge [2] and in virtually unlimited quantities. The food program is intended to promote employee health and environmental values. The Google campus is dotted with organic vegetable gardens where employees are free to pick and eat as they please. At its cafeterias, plates are small, and foods are color-coded for health factors. Breaking from the food industry norm, the healthy foods are the ones stocked at eye level.
The only places where people pay for food are at the vending machines, where the prices are scaled according to sugar and fat content. A gram of trans fat in a snack adds a dollar to the price. So prices range from 15 cents (for a granola bar) to $4.25 (for a large chocolate bar).
As the article and its attached comments acknowledge, there are problems with Google's policy. Some employees report gaining weight since arriving at Google. The all-you-can-eat policy requires some learning and self-discipline on employees' part, and it doesn't change the fact that spending long hours in the workplace has bad consequences for our diets. But Google's actions represent a refreshing attitude by a big company toward its workers' wellness. I remember when Microsoft was the booming tech giant, they made news by plying their young programmers with free soda and M&Ms. The Google approach is bound to be an improvement!

Fact Sheet
September 4, 2012
What Is Elvitegravir?
Elvitegravir (also known as GS-9137) is a drug used for antiviral therapy against HIV. It is manufactured by Gilead.
Elvitegravir is the second "integrase inhibitor" drug. When HIV infects a cell, it combines its genetic code into the cell's own code. This is shown in Fact Sheet 106, step 5. Elvitegravir blocks this process. When elvitegravir blocks integration, HIV infects a cell but cannot make more copies of itself.
Who Should Take It?
Elvitegravir has not yet been approved as an antiviral drug against HIV. However, its use is approved as part of Stribild (see Fact Sheet 472.) This "all in one" tablet was approved in 2012.
Stribild is approved for treatment-naïve patients -- those who have not yet started treatment. Gilead has asked the FDA to approve elvitegravir for use by patients who have already taken HIV medications.
There are no absolute rules about when to start antiviral drugs. You and your health care provider should consider your CD4 cell count (see Fact Sheet 124,) your viral load (see Fact Sheet 125,) any symptoms you are having, and your attitude about taking HIV medications. Fact Sheet 404 has more information about guidelines for the use of antiviral medications.
What About Drug Resistance?
The HIV virus is sloppy when it makes copies of its genetic code (RNA). Many new copies of HIV are mutations: they are slightly different from the original virus. Some mutations can continue to multiply even when you are taking an antiviral drug. When this happens, the drug will stop working. This is called "developing resistance" to the drug. See Fact Sheet 126 for more information on resistance.
Elvitegravir has shown activity against HIV that already has resistance to several other HIV medications.
Resistance to elvitegravir is not yet well understood. Sometimes, if you develop resistance to one drug, you will also have resistance to other antiviral drugs. This is called "cross-resistance". Because elvitegravir is in a new class of antiviral drugs, it seems to have almost no cross resistance with antiviral drugs in older classes. However, cross-resistance is expected is expected between raltegravir (Isentress, see Fact Sheet 465) and elvitegravir.
With combination therapy (taking more than one antiviral drug at the same time), HIV mutates much more slowly. Resistance takes longer to develop. It is very important to take antiviral medications according to instructions, on schedule, and not to skip or reduce doses.
How Is Elvitegravir Taken?
Elvitegravir is included in Stribild as 150 mg once daily boosted with cobicistat 150 mg. Elvitegravir has also been studied at doses of 85 mg and 150 mg once daily boosted with ritonavir.
What Are the Side Effects?
In clinical trials, the most common side effects in people taking elvitegravir were diarrhea, nausea, and headache along with diarrhea, upper respiratory tract infection, and bronchitis.
How Does It React With Other Drugs?
Elvitegravir has been studied to see if it interacts with other drugs. Rifampin, used to treat tuberculosis (see Fact Sheet 518) decreases blood levels of elvitegravir. A higher dose of elvitegravir must be used.
Elvitegravir has not been studied with all medicines, over-the-counter drugs or vitamin or herbal supplements. Studies are underway. Be sure your doctor knows about all medications and supplements that you are taking.
The Bottom Line
Elvitegravir is the second drug in a new class, integrase inhibitors. It has not yet been approved by itself. However, it is part of the approved combination medication Stribild. It stops HIV from inserting its genetic code into an infected cell. This prevents the virus from making new copies of HIV. Elvitegravir helps control HIV, even when it is resistant to other medications.

Spare Change: Help a Reporter Edition
Published on - December 22nd, 2010 (by J.D. Roth)
From time to time, reporters contact me for help on their stories. But often, I'm not the person they want to talk to. The person they want to talk to is you. This week, I've connected with two reporters writing stories with which they hope GRS readers can help.
- The first is looking for somebody in the Twin Cities area who has elected to live without credit cards. Have you given up credit cards by choice? Willing to chat with a reporter? Let me know in the comments.
- The second is looking for a family with at least one child under 18 in which the wife has been the primary (or only) earner for the past six months and the husband has suffered a job loss or setback due to the recession. Is this your family? Let me know if you're willing to chat with a reporter.
I love how precise reporter requests are. (At least these two aren't asking for "advice on how to save on XX, but they have to be unique ideas that people don't know about". I hate that. As if the obvious stuff isn't important.)
Anyhow, enough about reporters. Let's look at some other financial stories from around the web.
First up, I recently gave an interview to Money Crashers. I give a lot of interviews, and most are unremarkable, but I like this one a lot. Money Crashers took a lot of time to come up with interesting, relevant questions, so I returned the favor by providing thoughtful responses. That means the interview touches not only on the basics of my financial tenets, but also on some of the deeper (more philosophical) under-pinnings, like how to deal with plateaus and the importance of emotional maturity. Plus, they managed to get me to talk a bit about politics, which, as you know, almost never happens.
Next, long-time reader Jeffrey V. sent me a piece from The Boston Globe about the danger of designer gifts. This brief article summarizes academic research into the effects of a fancy gift. Simply put, when you give somebody something nicer than the things they already have, you upset the balance in their Stuff, driving them to buy new items of similar "design salience". In other words, you may think you're being nice by giving your sister-in-law a Coach purse, but you might be feeding her the gateway drug to lifestyle inflation. Interesting.
Sticking with the holiday theme, Becoming Minimalist recently shared 35 gifts your children will never forget. I realize that (unless you're like me) you've probably already finished your shopping, but this is a great list to save for the future.
I've thought a lot about taxes already, and it's still several months before my return is due. Actually, this isn't surprising. I've always enjoyed (yes, enjoyed!) doing my taxes as soon as the forms are available — which is soon. Because of that, I've bookmarked this summary of tax changes for 2011 over at My Journey to Millions.
And finally, my first column for Entrepreneur magazine has been posted online. It's about how to save money on travel. It probably won't surprise you to find out that I wrote this the day after returning from our month in Europe. Travel was on my mind!
This article is about Spare Change
My wife and I only use credit cards for online purchases (rare- mostly holidays) and to secure the occasional hotel room/car rental but always have the cash to pay it off in full. We don't use credit cards for any other reason and never carry a balance. We live in the Twin Cities and we'd be happy to talk about it.
Hey JD, I fit the bill for the second family request. Feel free to pass my email address on — thanks!
JD, very good interview over at Money Crashers. However, I'm so glad I don't have to read your politics here ("raise taxes"?!?!) — otherwise, I'd have to stop reading my favorite blog!
Also, I love doing my taxes as early as possible, too. It drives me crazy to wait for the January statements to come in!
We definitely fit the second description. I've been the primary wage earner for the last 2 years. You can certainly pass along my email address. Thanks!
I agree with the globe article. I recall a reader question about giving designer bags to her nieces form a consignment store. Was it on this site or simple dollar? Anyway I said it might be a bad idea to get young ones liking nicer stuff. Bad start!
Thanks for the mention! I can only help the post helps someone out there
My wife brings home the bacon at my house! And while I do not believe in playing victim to the economy, I will admit it has played a role in my decision-making process for my career path. I just recently started my own blog (TheBlogSoGoodItDoesntNeedAName.com) where one of the things I am going to write about is being a Stay-At-Home Dad, including money issues, so feel free to pass my name on to that reporter!
I love the link to 35 presents children will never forget. I'm starting to become much more thoughtful about presents and try to give experiences, especially ones I can share with the recipient.
Great interview at Money Crashers
Left a comment on the money crashers interview. I hope that if you do ever venture into talking about macroeconomics on this site (which I hope you don't) that you do as much research on the topic as you do on the personal finance topics you discuss before making suggestions.
What seems like common sense at first can be completely the wrong thing to do when you are looking at countries rather than at people. There's informed opinions and uninformed opinions and the latter can be dangerous.
J.D., in your interview with money crashers they asked you about setting goals. One piece of advice I received before running my first marathon was in relation to goal setting. After training for several months, I had a goal time that I really wanted to meet. What I was told was to set three goals. The A goal was the time that I'm really running for. The B goal would be a bit slower, but still a good time. The C goal was a time that I knew I could beat and if I did beat it I would still have accomplished a goal. So with your weight loss as an example your A goal could have been 50 lbs. Your B goal 40 lbs., and your C goal 10 lbs.
When it came to running the race, I was definitely faster than my C goal, and just a couple minutes shy of my B goal. I left that race knowing I had done my best and was happy with my time. If I had only been running for my A goal, I would probably have left bummed out, but as it was I left happy.
I should probably read the article before commenting, but at first thought the idea that you shouldn't give a nice gift for fear that someone will get hooked on spending more than they should is just bizarre to me.
Let's say I have a choice of giving a beautiful artist-made pillow as a gift, or a cheap barely-designed pillow that is say, half the price. If I can afford the thing of beauty, I think I should give it. The recipient may agree that it is beautiful and seek out other beautiful objects. Maybe he/she will save to get them, or find them used. Is there really more danger a person will immediately become addicted to credit just because they begin to appreciate nicer things than if they just are influenced by consumer culture?
I am a wife bringing home all the money! We have exactly one child under 18 too! I would be willing to chat.
"To what do you contribute your amazing success?"
Is Trent Hamm editing MoneyCrashers now?
Sorry for the nitpick, but that should be "To what do you attribute your amazing success." As written, it makes no sense.
Also, the "35 Gifts Your Children Will Never Forget" was just lame. I was expecting some actual memorable gifts, not sentimental fluff like "Intentionality" and "Finding Beauty." *gag*
"Hey Timmy, what did Santa bring you? Discipline? Yaaaaay!!"
You're right, JD, that was a good interview. For what it's worth, I completely agree with your politics (on that question at least).
JD> Still, it seems pretty clear to me that whatever the Bush administration did screwed things up in a big way. A lot of people blame President Obama for the present economic crisis, but he didn't create it. His administration has done a piss-poor job at dealing with it — no question — but his policies didn't get us into this mess. The blame for that rests with the previous administration. I'm not sure why so many people ignore this.
The Administration the actually did contribute to the down turn was the Clinton administration. They were the ones that pushed for banks to lower their requirments for signing loans. At the time "to help families get into a home" which helped everyone buy more house than they could afford with ridiculous terms like zero down and ARMs.
Name one thing the Bush administration did to contribute to the recession. Remember this entire recession started with the real estate bubble bursting.
A great resource for reporters and bloggers alike is HARO (Help a Reporter Out)
They can be found at http://www.helpareporter.com/
It is an online resource that allows reporters to post topics searching for subject matter experts. So, if you blog about food and you want to be considered an "expert" you can contact the reporter in the posting. In return they reference you in the article and provide a backlink to your site. There are a lot of large reputable publications on HARO as well as many different regional media outlets.
Kevin – agreed.
My wife and I would qualify to talk to the first reporter. We live in the Twin Cities area and stay away from credit cards. So far we have never found a good enough reason to use them. We are very open about our finances and would love to talk a reporter about it.
P.S. Great Blog, my wife and I love your articles.
I read your interview with Money Crashers, and I just want to say I really appreciated your candor about your struggle with charitable giving. It helped me better understand how the way we're raised can have a huge impact on how we view that issue. And I completely sympathize with your desire to give to individuals, not big organizations. It's harder to gloss over things like hunger, poverty, and disenfranchisement when you can put a face on them.
I too live in the Twin Cities, and avoid credit cards like the plague.
Hi JD,
My family nearly fits the profile of the second request. In 2008, my husband was laid off after 34 years at the same company, so I have been the breadwinner since then. We have two children living at home, the elder is 20 and the younger was 19 in November. It's been a challenge to say the least, but thanks in part to your blog, we've managed to survive on 1/3 of our former income.
I would like to help a reporter. I have been affected by the recession, loosing my job of 11 years, with a 10 year old at home. My wife is now the primary income earner, she is a CPA in the public sector.
Let me know.
Awesome interview JD…GRS readers, you're learning from an amazing guy with some truly unique views and tips!

GREEN BAY, WI (WSAU) The Green Bay Packers have failed to get free-agent running back Steven Jackson. He agreed to a three-year, 12-million dollar contract with the Atlanta Falcons yesterday.
The Packers had an interest in the 30-year-old Jackson, who has rushed for a-thousand yards in eight seasons with the Saint Louis Rams. But it was apparent that the Packers couldn't afford Jackson, as Green Bay tries to save some of its salary cap room to re-up with Aaron Rodgers and Clay Matthews.
The Falcons gave Jackson four-million dollars in guaranteed money. He was looking to hook up with a contender, after the Rams failed to make the playoffs since his rookie season there in 2004. Packers' free agent receiver Greg Jennings will have his official visit with Minnesota today. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel said Jennings had dinner with Vikings' officials last night before his deliberations at the team's complex.
The paper said Jennings has not indicated his financial demands to Minnesota as of early last evening. Earlier this week, receivers Danny Amendola and Wes Welker each signed for around six-million dollars a year with their new teams.
The Vikings are looking for a top receiver after Percy Harvin was traded to Seattle and Michael Jenkins was cut.
Yesterday, the Vikes reportedly agreed to terms with former Kansas City quarterback Matt Cassel. Early reports say he'll be a backup to Christian Ponder.

It is easy to think the latest technology is making our lives safer, but a WNCN Investigates report will shatter that belief.
Thieves have discovered a high tech master key that can unlock electronically-secured doors and all it takes it a couple of seconds.
Security consultant Walt Augustinowicz of Identity Stronghold was able to open the electronically controlled access door at WNCN seconds after shaking reporter Steve Sbraccia's hand.
Augustinowicz did it with a cellphone-sized device housed in a protective case that made it look like a smartphone.
Inside that case are a series of inexpensive and readily available components that can steal the information from your electronic access badge within seconds.
"All I did was put it near your wallet and I soon as I saw a blink (on his device) I knew I had your card," said Augustinowicz.
That's because access cards use RFID, or radio-frequency identification technology.
The same way Augustinowicz swiped Sbraccia's card information is how he cloned it seconds later.
"All I have to do is hold my button down (on his device) and boom this is now a copy," he said pointing to a blank white card in his hand.
Those access cards are everywhere, including some of the country's best known buildings.
WNCN Investigates found someone with an access card to the Capitol in Washington D.C.Augustinowicz was able to clone it in a matter of seconds. A computer server wouldn't know the difference between the real owner of the card and the identity thief.
We took Augustinowicz to downtown Raleigh where many people walk around with company badges.
Maureen Prosser gave permission to demonstrate the easy access RFID thieves have to access cards.
As Augustinowicz swiped his device by her ID badge hanging by her side, he showed Prosser how a thief could make a copy of her access card as he stood next to her in a crowd or walked slowly by her.
Prosser then took us to her office building where Augustinowicz showed her the cloned access card worked.
"Right now, no one can get in this building," Augustinowicz told her, pulling on the locked door handle. But he said gaining access to this building is as easy as walking by someone on the street.
"To know my identity could be manipulated that easily is a little intimidating,'' Prosser said.
There are billions of access cards posing security risks from cloning.
"You could buy the equipment inside here for $50 on line," said Augustinowicz. "Its been known for several years; just most people using the system don't know it, but hackers have all known this," he said.
In fact, access card makers like HID Global have issued best practices guides which warn people not wear badges in prominent view on the streets and to use RFID shielding devices for their access cards.
But right kind of shielding is needed.
Metal security wallets have been proven to not always work. In our tests, Augustinowicz could still read the access card through a metal wallet that touted itself as a protective device.
"It has to be designed for the card you're shielding," he said.
These same RFID access cards are also being used in several Wake County schools.
Benita Taylor also gave permission to clone her company's access card. She was with her school-aged son at the time. Taylor was worried about her son's safety at a school whose access card could be cloned.
"I would be pretty concerned,'' said Taylor. She said she hoped the schools with RFID cards would have redundant safety procedures.
"Hopefully, they will have a dual method of some kind," said Taylor.
Wake County Public Schools released a statement in response to our inquiry about cloning RIFD cards.
"It is illegal to use any device to breech our security system and then it becomes a law enforcement matter, " said school spokeswoman Renee McCoy.
In North Carolina our research showed, it is not illegal to clone access cards, but the fraudulent use of a cloned card is a crime.
Protect Yourself
The following companies offer devices at various prices that can protect your access card from RFID thieves:

1/29/2010 | DITEC: Everything changes, nothing changes
Specialising in automatic entrances has always been our corporate mission.
All our energies and efforts are focused on achieving the best possible result in this area.
DITEC stands for "DIffusion of TEChnology".
Designing, manufacturing and distributing entrance automation products to an increasing extent has been in fact our goal, since 1974, resulting in company growth and increased comfort in public and private buildings.
EntreMatic is a Sweden-based supplier of pedestrian doors automation, well known in Northern Europe who is now joining forces and merging with DITEC.
The headquarters of the new empowered organization are in Caronno, Italy and the current EntreMatic headquarters in Sweden become DITEC Entrematic Nordic, in charge of sales in the Scandinavian area.
Everything changes….
because this is the beginning of a new year and a new age.
We intend to give a sign of change and wish to give continuity to our past and to our specialisation.
"Automatic entrance specialists", the part of the logo identifying our mission and our strongest point, has been transformed into "Entrematic".
Entrematic: an incisive, short and easy-to-understand term will therefore be with us in the future to face and win new challenges.
Nothing changes…
Except for the better for DITEC customers.
Distributors, dealers and installers will continue to be our face to the local markets . Our partners will benefit from us becoming stronger and better positioned to enter into a new phase, become more competitive, more alert and more innovative.
This is the wish and task for 2010 and further: to work hard to be successful together.

Yes, this was your father's Georgia-Vanderbilt series.
You know all that talk the past year about the newly competitive "rivalry" between the Bulldogs and the Commodores?
Never mind.
Mark Richt's team came roaring out of the gate Saturday night at Sanford Stadium on both offense and defense (that's right, no slow start for the Georgia D this time around) and, frankly, the game was in hand with a score of 27-3 at halftime.
The Dawgs' terrific freshman tailback duo of Todd Gurley and Keith Marshall had another fine night, with Gurley rushing for 130 yards on 16 carries and Marshall adding 82 yards on his 10 carries. Ken "Boo" Malcome added 41 yards on six carries. Richard Samuel finally got to play a bit of tailback, ending up with 27 yards on five carries, including one nice run.
Gurley and Marshall both ran tough, with Gurley breaking four tackles on a 29-yard touchdown run. And Marshall showed impressive speed on his 52-yard scoring burst.
As for Aaron Murray, he was on fire, completing his first dozen passes on a night when he completed 18 of 24 for 250 yards and two touchdowns, with no interceptions. And he only played three quarters, with the Dawgs taking their foot off the pedal in the fourth, with Parker Welch and then Christian LeMay coming in.
The Dawgs wound up the evening with 567 total yards on offense despite pulling back in the fourth. Georgia again had a receiver top 100 yards, with Marlon Brown catching five passes for 114 yards and a touchdown.
With Jarvis Jones back and having seven tackles, including a sack and three tackles for loss, Todd Grantham's defense looked sharp most of the night.
Minor quibble: The D had a shutout going with a couple of minutes left in the first half when a few players appeared to have mentally gone to the locker room a bit early and the Dores quick-passed their way down the field. It only ended up costing the Bulldogs 3 points, however, and most of the second half was also lights-out defense.
Vandy did move the ball a bit in the fourth quarter, getting down to Georgia's 3 before QB Jordan Rodgers (who started despite being benched last week) reached for the end zone and wound up fumbling for a touchback (after the original TD ruling was overturned on review). It's always great seeing an opponent's points taken off the scoreboard!
So Georgia scored 40 points for a fourth consecutive game for the first time in its history and managed to match its largest ever winning margin over the Commodores, taking its 17th victory over Vandy in the past 18 games.
Business as usual, in other words.
Feel free to share your own thoughts on Georgia's convincing win over Vandy.

Getting back two tremendous defensive players next week…chance to move Mitchell back to the receiver position. This is the type of Georgia team we haven't seen in many years. This is the type of Georgia team that could win a national championship. For now though…let's go out and beat Tennessee.

Is it just me, or did we have more rushes outside of the tackle-box in the last 2 games than we did in the last season? (Seriously. I'd like to know.) Huummm … I wonder if that has anything to do with the rushing stats getting better? Do you think that might actually have some kind of affect on the time of possession? I wonder if holding the ball and limiting the number of plays the other team's O gets helps the D's stats? So now, for the second week in a row, I don't want to stick my foot up Mike Bobo's ***. Gee, I wonder why.

The athletic history of UGA is full of so many sordid, sleazy incidents – dating back to Vince Dooley and continuing through Mark Richt – that it's impossible to overlook. The school has come to stand for drunkenness and lawlessness, coddling of illiterate low-class athletes who should never have been admitted to college, and rampant cheating by coaches.
UGA and Mark Richt are an affront and an embarrassment to all decent people in this state.
September 23rd, 2012

I wish Lemay would have gotten more reps and more opportunities to see what he can do other than hand off the ball. Hope we dont get caught looking past those orange pants to USCe. Should beatbthem handily as well. GATA

Great game for the Dawgs. Why not another score to show real dominance like Saban
SPURRIER and Miles. Sometimes CMR is too nice. May cost us later. Don't like lapses in intensity. We need to dominate with our easy schedule. High scoring teams appear more powerful. Would hate to go undefeated and miss the NC. Pile it on. Stomp the opponents. Move up in the polls.
September 23rd, 2012

Where did you glean this information? What a really profound post! Why would anyone visit a UGA blog and post such a worthless bunch of noise? The only reason has to be your a nerd from north avenue. please visit your school's blog (I'm sorry gt doesn't have a blog). LOL!

Man there are a lot of weapons running around on that field in red…. Gurley is an absolute beast!!! Better in pretty much every way, except experience, than Lattimore. Catches better, better vision, equal power, but way faster. Wear 'em down with Gurley, slice 'em up with Marshall.
To UGA Marketing- can we get an all red t-shirt with "TG3″ on the front, with "Run Like A Gurley" on the back?????
September 23rd, 2012
8:19 am
Settle down, dawg4life. Love the T-shirt idea, but lets not give TG the nod over a two-time All-American after 4 games. But if we still feel that way on October 7 then by all means.
September 23rd, 2012
8:33 am
The D still had some lapses at times. We need to always be dominant and should have pitched a shut out. The offense didnt score in the 4th qtr either which was disappointing. Should have put up at least 56 on these guys. Once again Richt let up and didnt score more style points.
September 23rd, 2012
8:36 am
Finally a game the Dawgs came out from the onset and was ready to play. Its said alot about our coaching staff if they can find a way to get this team ready we can beat anybody!!! It was also nice to see Bobo keep his foot on the pedal. We have more talent at the skill positions than Bama or Lsu but we have to build depth on the lines because that is where Bama and Lsu have a advantage!!! The special teams still need more work there was a couple of kick offs returns against us that was a little to long. Punt return that we should have not been caught inside the 10 and a missed PAT and another that hit the upright but bounced in. But over all a good game that shows what we are capable of when we continue to keep our foot on the gas!!! GTA!!! Go Dawgs!!!
September 23rd, 2012

That was for you Coach Franklin! How do you like us now?

We could have scored in the 60's. Franklin knows it. I think that Richt handled this one correctly.
September 23rd, 2012
8:41 am
South Carolina has a better defense and the dawgs need a lot of work on special teams too. I think the dawgs will lose a regular season because of poor special teams play. Dawgs will still get killed by a Bama.
September 23rd, 2012

survive Tennessee and play lights out against South Carolina…..survive Jacksonville…….then march into Atlanta and upset Alabama.
September 23rd, 2012
8:46 am
this type of performance should keep the fla, GT and perhaps the bama trolls away. Don't know about you guys…. but I sure slept gooooood, last night! Sic'em. Does any one agree, the officiating has been worse this year than recent memory? Kind of all began with the vandy/SC game???
September 23rd, 2012

Vandy had 337 yards of offense. D still needs work.
September 23rd, 2012
9:17 am
Solid Game. UT woke up in the second half and took care of business. They are much improved. While you would never call UT a 'trap game', Georgia cannot get caught looking forward to playing South Carolina.
All you have to do is look at the 'Troll Count' and the 'Content' to know that Georgia won big and Tech got upset. Juvenile post with no hint of North Avenue. Ignore it and enjoy the win and how the season is going.

That's right. Mom's basement. Gurley is a beast!

Parker Welsh played HS QB in Jesup,Ga. That is big boy ball. He throws a nice ball and probaly knows the O playbook and is a leader.
The LeMay kid is a project QB. No way that he is a legit # 2 and there must be a deal with mommy and daddy to keep putting him on the field to play.
I feel badly for Huston Mason, who could start for other SEC teams. LeMay is a long work in progress and I sure hope that we do not have to rely on him. He seems confused or dazed and lost. He can neither run or throw the ball. He will not help UGA for at least another year or two.
Go Dogs.

lemay will never start a game for uga,murray next year, then hutson mason one year, then the kid from south ga ,camdan co? starts three years, hey lemay find a nice small college in charlotte, maybe your daddy that always bails you out of trouble can find you a school
September 23rd, 2012
10:13 am
hopeman and visions of Willie …
"…Richt too nice…need to dominate…Richt let up…"
Lawdamercy, we were up 48-3. That's pretty dominating if ya ask me. Your school of thought would not allow other players to get some experience, which adds depth. Gotta have depth to compete against good teams. Style points? I guess Spurrier would agree.
Yep, improvement needed on D…too many big plays by Vandy; kinda bend but don't break. And special teams need work; but overall did fairly well.
Lemay is #2 because Mason is redshirting. The coaches see his play during the week; must be pretty good during practices. He can't improve unless he gets playing time. It's best to have a backup QB with at least some experience. We'll see as the season progresses whether Welch and Lemay separate themselves. They got in with 11 (13?) minutes to go and both got to throw a couple passes, which would never happen if it was 3 mins to go and just mop up duty. I have to agree, however, that Lemay hasn't looked good. But neither has Murray in his first series or two the first three games.
Great win over Vandy!

Come on Guys. When a person makes a comment like Taliaferro just ignore it. All you do is feed the fire. Don't give them ammunition to just keep coming back with more by asking "Where do you get that information??" "Don't you say that about UGA !!" etc. Let's celebrate this win together as fans and just let the trouble makers be. Attempting to start an uprising on a Blog is all they have left in life. UGA is 4-0 Baby!!!!

This team is special, if they get to the dome….no matter who is on the other side…they will WIN
September 23rd, 2012
12:21 pm
All I can say Bill is: "Wow!" I know it was "only Vandy." But this Vandy came oh so close to beating us last year and USCe this year. I don't know how good Vandy is, but I'm pretty sure they are not pitiful, although the Dawgs made them look just that last night. If there is a negative to all this, I guess it's that we can be very good or very ordinary depending on the attitude the team happens to have on the day in question. I mean it is hard to believe that is the same team we saw the first 3 weeks of the season. It's been like night and day. Hopefully we'll see more attitude like we saw last night in the weeks to come. We'll need exactly that to win games against better competition.
September 23rd, 2012
12:52 pm
Gurley and Marshall are both awesome. And I haven't seen either of them get tired and wave to the sideline to come out of the game (Isaiah).
Receiver corps is as deep as we have ever had.
Murray does a great job reading the blitz and getting rid of the ball quickly.
D bends but doesn't break.
This year will be SPECIAL!!!
September 23rd, 2012
12:52 pm
Your 7:43 post doesn't make any sense on a sports blog. Nobody really cares about your opinion if it doesn't relate to the football game. You may get sympathy and pity but your mental problems need to be evaluated by a professional not a bunch of football fanatics.
September 23rd, 2012
12:55 pm
Hopefully Richt and Bobo will re-watch the game tape of last nights game and last years Auburn and FL game
Maybe then they will coach this championship level talent to a championship
September 23rd, 2012
12:57 pm
Great game!!! It reminded me greatly of the early 80's performances. They played with focus and intensity throughout,
Hey, by the way… When was the last game that the Dawgs did not even attempt a field goal?
September 23rd, 2012
1:06 pm
Georgia has a problem that needs to be addressed before we get to a defense like South Carolina and Florida who will take advantage. Our Freshmen kickers are great and will get better but they are making too many mistakes. Morgan is not a sure thing on extra points. I don't know if it is the holder or what but we had another extra point missed yesterday and Morgan hit the goal post again. As for Barber Vanderbilt came very close to blocking 2 or 3 of his kicks. He needs to pick it up kicking the ball before he really gets a rush .
I don't know which coach is responsible for our kickers but they need to stop taking them for granted and give them some needed supervision and guidance before it hurt us.

A wreck in Anderson County has taken the life of a firefighter from the city of Seneca and injured another man.
The wreck happened just after 6 p.m. on Highway 24 at the Double Bridges when a mobile home moving truck went off the road and crashed into Lake Hartwell.
Anderson County Coroner Greg Shore said that 49-year-old David Ray Wright, of Seneca, died after the truck blew a tire, crossed the center line over the double bridges and went over the guardrail and into the lake. Shore said that Wright, who was also the Chief of the Friendship Volunteer Fire Department in Oconee County, was trapped in the truck's cab and had to be rescued. Rescue crews performed CPR on him as he was transported by ambulance to AnMed Health Medical Center, but he was pronounced dead at 7 pm.
"His dad owns a rental furniture business and he was helping him by driving the truck," Shore said. "It was just a tragic accident."
"It is with great sadness to announce the death of Friendship Volunteer Fire Chief David Wright," said Oconee County Fire Chief David King. "David was killed in a traffic accident on Highway 24 this afternoon in Anderson. David was driving a truck as part of his father's business when the wreck occurred. The cause of the accident is still being investigated. David has been a member of the fire service in Oconee County for more than 35 years. He was currently serving as the volunteer chief of Friendship and a career Captain with the Seneca Fire Department. He was nearing his 24th anniversary with Seneca.
