How can we build a better educational system?
I've been realizing more and more that our education system is pretty much designed to benefit only the corporations that run this world. I'm talking about the heavy emphasis on maths and sciences and not enough focus on helping the children find their passion by planting dreams in their capable minds.
Personally, I think it would be great if the variety of courses that we are able to take were widened, and if we get passionate teachers that know how to teach and want to teach. What I mean by knowing "how to teach" is if the person is able to get someone else up to their level of knowledge in something they are passionate about, and make it fun in the process! I think that defines a great teacher/professor, in any subject. That way, we'll be able to have a much more intelligent generation full of happy people who are doing what they want to do and are great at it! Ultimately that would benefit all of us as a species.
I know it may sound very ideal, but with time I think it is definitely possible.
aviva visoliAug 3 2012: The world we live in is a vast, wondrous, and intricate system. Every part of it is connected to and dependent upon all the other parts. For many decades, this complexity was hidden from us. We'd see the world as a collection of elements not necessarily connected to each other, and certainly not as interdependent as we are now discovering.
Within the education systems, the perception of reality as separate elements divided into discrete topics is still the predominant paradigm. The new, integral view, relates to the world as an interconnected system. This perception is the basis of the Integral Education , and thus defines a new, integrated approach to teaching. In doing so, it ushers the students into an integrated perception of reality, aligning them with today's integrated reality. In the integral education method, the student does not learn separate topics in a "linear" fashion. Rather, each topic is presented from the "circular" perspective, illustrating its connection to all the other topics.
Aug 3 2012: I still believe "linear" way of teaching is useful when someone has found their passion and wants to continue down the road of knowledge. Since there has been so many discoveries, in order to make new discoveries you need to be up to date in your knowledge, which can be done efficiently with "linear" learning.
However, to find the passion I believe "circular" learning will be effective at showing the different sides and interactions between the trees of information. By observing the full bird's eye view of the world, I think students will be able to make a more informed decision with regards to their future than just going in blind to something they might not even like by the end.
aviva visoliAug 16 2012: "This crippling of individuals I consider the worst evil of capitalism. Our whole educational system suffers from this evil. An exaggerated competitive attitude is inculcated into the student, who is trained to worship acquisitive success as a preparation." - Albert Einstein
Our challenge today is not so much to acquire knowledge as it is to acquire the social skills to help ourselves and our children overcome and abundant alienation, suspicion, and mistrust we encounter today. To prepare us and our children for life in the 21st century, we need a school that teaches what makes our reality what it is, and what can we do to change it.
This does not mean that disseminating knowledge should stop, but that these lessons should be part of a larger story that reaches students how to cope in the world they are about to enter. They should be able to leave the classroom and use this knowledge to grasp the full picture of reality and the forces that design it, and to understand how they can use it to their benefit.
In nearly every country in the world, education systems are designed to prod students to aim for personal achievements. The higher the student 's grades, the higher his or her social status. In America, as in many countries in the West, this system not only measures how students perform, but how they perform in relation to others. This makes students not only want to excel, but inevitably makes them want their fellow students to fail.
In a globalized world where every person is dependent on the success and well-being of every other person, this Educational system must be reformed from it's root. Instead of trying to achieve personal distinction, the objectives should be to excel in promoting the success of the collective. This is the achievement that should ideally be most recognized and revered in our schools.
Josh LeeAug 16 2012: I agree with everything you said in this comment. That Einstein quote is incredibly accurate even for today's tough times (probably because no one heeded it). I thank you for your input.
I think the problem with the individualistic point of view in regards to academic achievement is that the real world doesn't actually work on individual success. It takes a team player to achieve anything greater than what any individual could do.
To play in a team, you simply must have the ability to flawlessly communicate with your team members. This might include acts such as setting aside petty squabbles, staying focused on the task at hand, being organized, voicing your valid opinions with supporting arguments, listening to other opinions (just as important if not more), and to have a positive attitude or an understanding of how morale works. These are a few skills that would serve anyone incredible benefits in a team environment.
These skills are almost implied in courses that I've taken in university. But never taught as a stand alone course. It boggles my mind because some of these skills will drastically improve the lives of many people who don't possess these skills.
I think the best way to rebel against the current school system is to start a new one.
E PinesAug 17 2012: I believe that pat gilbert has made a serious misinterpretation of what appears a very obvious meaning on the part of Aviva Visoli. But best demonstrated by examples as requested.
Example 1: Mother Teresa's objectives.
Example 2: Martin Luther King Jr.'s objectives.
Example 3: Albert Einstein's objectives.
Example 4: Jonas Salk's objectives.
etc., etc., etc.
Those not making this "Marxist" listing:
Example 1: Tiger Woods's objectives.
Example 2; Madonna's objectives.
Example 3: Kim Kardashian's objectives.
Example 4: Donald Trump's objectives.
etc., etc., etc.
Lawren Jones 30+Jul 25 2012: Thirty years ago, the phone service was a government-mandated monopoly. then the monopoly was broken. Do you have more choices and better service than you did thirty years ago? How is any product or service made better? Competition. Once the government monopoly on education is ended, and public schools have to complete with privately and commercially-funded ones, education will improve (both in performance and efficiency) across the board.
Josh Lee
Josh LeeJul 27 2012: Yea I'm not in it for the money, I genuinely feel that the education system can be so much better.
If I wanted money, I'd have gone and become some CEO of some company, and spending ALL my time doing business and worrying about how I can improve our margins etc.
There will obviously be a fee for entering your child into the school, but for quality education? I don't think you can put a price on that..
Jul 29 2012: i agree Lawren and I also feel that so much can be done at home as well. We have lost parenting skills and the idea of family. Parents need to re-engage with their childs education. There is power in numbers. If you can't afford the appropriate private school education for your child, fight for a better system in the public forum.
Aug 16 2012: Its funny cause in Australia we have a phone system dominated by a government controlled publicly listed company and we have the best phone system in the western world. I can access broadband internet on my phone in the middle of the desert. I can also call any cell phone or land line from anywhere in the country without any reception or compatability problems.
Aug 19 2012: Agree with the insightful and heart warming comments of Aviva. And just to address Pat Gilbert's for a moment:
I think a distinction should be placed here separating communism and marxism from Karl Marx. The problem is that if we look at the regimes which popped up and vastly harmed the "collective," we can see that nothing which was championed was actually in line with Marx's theories for the development of collective society.
It simply became a good way to control masses of people, to cite "Marx" as an ideological figure, and then to veer ever farther from what he actually said as soon as power was gained. For instance, Marx was not a proponent of coercion or of the rich ruling over the poor. However every marxist/communistic regime has done just that, been forced upon masses of people in order for a few to profit.
It should be noted that Marx detached himself from all those who called themselves "Marxists" during his life and those who followed continued to veer further and further from his theories towards the ideas of violent revolution, a few "educated" controlling the masses, etc.
The reason why Marx's writings though are important is because he actually sought to tie together man with nature through observation. He therefore came to conclusions which weren't founded on the motivations for profit or power, but which sought to take into account this system of nature which we are all a part.
In this way Marx was and still is ahead of his time as a theorist, because he sought to apply an integral approach to social and economic life. It is an approach which is still misunderstood because usually it is viewed from the perspective of those who bastardized his writings and then attributed his name to their cause(s).
aviva visoliAug 16 2012: I am not a communist, nor I believe in communism as we know it and experienced it in the human history. This is not a madness act of a single person. The wind of change that I am talking about and would like to welcome, is a system of education that will take us to the Human level and it must begin with the individual since he is the center of everything. In this new, developing, global world; WE NEED a system that will nurture our students rather than lecture them, and that will be teaching by examples of altruistic, equitable behavior.
The method of this education is based on the idea that Everyone is unique, and hence children/students develop through discussions that allow them to learn other children's/student's opinions no matter how numerous these opinions are.
In this system, each student absorbs from the others, becomes imbued with their way of being, and grows to be even more unique. The student receives from everyone else and grows on that, developing his own properties.
This is what we want to achieve with this method of education. People unite correctly, making a contact, communicating with each other, and build a human society themselves, a society which is based on mutual inclusion of each into all and all into each. As a result, everybody's uniqueness flourishes even more.
Steven HsiehAug 14 2012: We are treated like robots that work in factories
You must know all the required facts to pass.
"Quality Control" = school standards
We are human beings.
We are not machines.
The best teachers are people in the industry.
I learned allot from my Econ teacher.
He taught more things from his business side experiences than the school text book.
If you want to teach math, then bring engineers.
If you want to teach English, brings speakers, entrepreneurs.
If you want to to teach Physical education, bring athletes.
You know who is the best entrepreneurs?
People who think like Childrens
Because they ask questions like why
"Why not?"
"What if...?"
Curiosity and Imagination is what we need

Aug 14 2012: The students' desires are key in long-term education. I feel it's a balance of education (to draw out that which is latent in someone) and training. Education is based in the moment, the unknown, because the teacher can't know for certain what is needed in the classroom until the student(s) initiate a need, a desire. It might be a subtle initiation, but it must come from the student for the information to stick.
Training is based in the past "these are the steps, this is how it works and how it'll always work". Factual. Most schooling is really training, not education, unfortunately.
But we, and I say we because I believe it's important to be life-long learners, need a mixture of both to explore the world and how we want to shape it. You can teach me how to cut vegetable with a knife (training) and I may or may not really remember it, even after drilling and testing, unless I originally came to you with the desire or curiosity about cooking. Then the knife skill is needed... wanted. It supports my exploration in to my curiosity about cooking.
School can and should be like that. Math is important... to those that want to use it. The arts are important... to those that want to use it.
There are universal skills that can be taught and/or supported to help us all recognize our interests: empathy, vulnerability, failing gloriously, ownership, awareness, self-observation, group dynamics, collective leadership, intention, commitment and play. The last skill, play, is vitally important. It's the work of children, how they original explore the world and they're place in it. So, it doesn't need to be taught, it needs to be supported and extended into every day activities. Play is curiosity. Play is creativity. Play is the key to joyful learning, which has no end-date.
I'm excited to hear your passion to start a new school. Do it! Clear intentions addressing a solid need... we need more of that. Do it now. :)
Jul 26 2012: Oh and personally, I find conceptual things to be pretty fascinating. So conceptual physics, chemistry, math, art, philosophy, games, social studies, computer science, music theory, stories, movies, comics, new media etc. I think they're all interesting in their own respects. But what I hate and disagree with the most are $200 useless textbooks that no one really reads or learns from.
But that's just me anyways.
Jul 26 2012: What needs to be done is we need to try to bring out their curiosity. And to do this, we need effective communication. Basically we need to speak their language.
So how do we do this?
Better Teachers: raise teacher salary. There are a lot of people who want to be teachers but they think teachers' salaries suck so they don't. Improve the education of teachers on how to teach. Universities do that.
Better Tools: Youtube, KhanAcademy, Internet, Facebook, Google+, TED, Coursera, etc. Because the demand for better education is high, there is now a demand for making better tools for teaching too, so we'll see better tools to come...
Jul 27 2012: I have a very similar view on this subject. While I don't think raising their salary will do the job, I think having a course on how to teach effectively (aka communication 101) will adversely affect the effectiveness of education, depending on who's teaching it.
Speaking of educational tools, I've always been a fan of video games (for a major part of my life) and I don't discount the fact that games are the most concentrated form of media (sound, visual, interaction, story, etc) and I think we can utilize this potential and make games fun to play and educational, perhaps even productive. It would be a stark contrast between dry and boring textbooks against fun and exciting educational games.
Jul 27 2012: There's a lot of research going on with game theory and trying to make it educational right now. A really cool one I found a while ago is DragonBox, which is a game that tries to teach kids algebra: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6Np4Eb0Ff0
I think raising the salary may help in the long run, not immediately. Raising the salary will increase the demand for smarter guys to teach. The smarter guys will have competition with the preexisting teachers, and usually it's the better ones that stay while the worse ones get kicked out. Once the demand is created, universities may start demanding a new course on new ways of teaching.
Or just creating an entirely new system altogether for teaching could be it too. Like online courses perhaps.
Jul 27 2012: YES! Education for me is a lifelong commitment. I try to learn new things everyday, be it getting some experience in something I've never tried before; meeting new people that I don't fully know how to deal with; reading an interesting book. The list can go on.
Ultimately, you are what you know, and the word education tears down the limits of what you CAN know, which means there is no limit to your being. Hippy-istically speaking haha.
I think if we can find a way to plant dreams, passion and the willingness to keep learning; the world can be a much much better place...
Aug 20 2012: Proverb 22:6 says - "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." The "when he is old" literally means when the child has hair on his face. The premise addresses a unique perspective that the inspired writer understood - each child has his own way. Not just of what they are "made" to do, but also, how they learn and assimilate knowledge. It seems there are 3 primary ways we consume new information:
1 - kinesthetically (hands on, touch based, experiential learning)
2 - audibly (hearing and listening)
3 - visually (seeing)
I have 5 sons that range between 4 and 13 - whom my wife home schools. Each is an individual with their own set of talents and weaknesses. My wife has a deep understanding of the boys (gained from time with them) - their interests, motivations, struggles - and she knows how to "train them in the way" EACH child should go. I cannot speak for everyone, but the homeschool environment works exceptionally well for our family (though it is a LOT of work, requires a great commitment of time and maturity.) Who better should have the best interest for the kid than the parent, with the greatest desire to see them succeed and grow to become the productive adult they are made to be?
I thought it a brilliant speech. The question posed, how do we take this failing system in America to the top? It sure isn't money - we homeschool for a fraction of the cost NC declares is needed per child in the public school system. Creativity may play a role. I think the greatest role player in the mix, is more parents getting actively involved in their children's education. Not saying homeschool for everyone, but actually taking accountability for the children in the household. What are they learning? Where are their strengths and weaknesses? What are they drawn to. Ben Franklin's father took him to every business in the local community to see what Ben was inclined towards. What about your kids?
Aug 17 2012: I invite you to read a chapter from the book "The Best That Money Can't Buy" by Jacque Fresco about a new type of education. I think you will enjoy it immensely. Here's the link: http://www.tzmeducation.org/content/jacque-fresco-education
avi LevyAug 16 2012: Are we not suppose to happy enjoying life why there is so much young kids committing suicide why the whole world moving to distraction why every aspect in our life is upside down
Something is wrong and every thing start at family and education's it time to try something else more realistic more friendly more truthfull the world is changing becoming more integral we have to learn how to live in this world connected not individual new system
Aug 16 2012: People tend to focus on useless things in life and disregard the most important things such as friendship and love.
What I notice in many people these days is the completely blind lust for money. For me, I grew up in a family where money was very limited and I realized I could be happy without it. Yes there was a time when I wished I had more but those are just temporary emotions anyone can choose to not focus on.
The human mind is a powerful computer, if not the most powerful in this universe (so far). The fastest man made computer cannot see the underlying tone of a conversation, it cannot feel the emotions that we feel and does not know how to be aware of different social situations. All it knows how to do is chug a bunch of 0's and 1's really really fast. This is why we all need to take control of our minds, and learn to focus on the good, the positive and be thankful that we are even breathing.
Taking things for granted is infinitely easier than being thankful for what you already have.
Aug 2 2012: You build a better educational system from the ground up and with the realistic standards for everyone. You can only renovate an old building so many times before the ole construction/technology gives way and you have to build anew. However keep the main idea (a space for learning with 1 teacher who taught the SAME things to ALL of the children). Where we have gone wrong Is three-fold 1.) We have allowed too much VARIATION on WHAT Is being taught 2.) No Clear PLANs were given on HOW to TEACH it 3.)Yet we then expect for ALL recipients to know the SAME information. How jacked up is that!? This Is exactly why NCLB was doomed from the start it followed the same main idea as our failing federal-state edu. system. Fed. = Teacher & State = Student. Imagine a teacher tells a mixed ability class "Learn U.S. History", gives ea. a textbook "this is what you need to know", & expects them all to earn straight A's on the test. We Need natinal standards a nationwide plan for all states to follow ( parent's & kids should be required review this ea. Yr. , Mandatory bi-weekly parental involvement (if they don't want others to tell them how to raise their child then lend a hand ) , options for those who may not want to go to college, more of a early greek/montessouri tale on letting the child led from interest or strength with guidance (teacher-coach), incorporate real life practice on all levels out of the classroom, let them fail (it's called trial&error), & last but not least require all students all ages to be involved in local gov. they should be able to understand WHY & not just WHAT so they have a purpose.
Aug 2 2012: Yes to many of the previous posts, with a nod to both Lawren (elimination of gov. monopoly) and Tanka ( scientific method of understanding the root cause), however I must disagree w/ Tanka's reason/purpose of education. Life as each person lives it Is driven (whether they choose to acknowledge it or not) by survival. Survival of self, offspring, or idea. Survival Is then dictated by ONE thing only, NECESSITY. Necessity does not mean 'wants' , but those gained along the road of necessity are welcomed. Despite outcries on all fronts education has lost it's place as a necessity. Our society has become so overconfident in its success it's thrown it's roots to the wayside, like the teen who gets their drivers license/car & leave w/out thanking the parents that taught them... Oops! Only they forgot gas money! Now they must figure out how to apologize, humble themselves to ask for money, get back on the parents good side to ensure a continued flow, while managing to retain dignity inspite of an elementary mistake. Now multly that by all adults in gov. & citizens & we have our TRUE ROOT problem who have by necessity been successful and passed on the fruits of that success in the raising of their children all the while ignoring the fact that by perfecting life for said children they have eliminated the necessity for the same education realizing in hindsight the need to educate/fuel their success. To solve this does not mean drill the same "you need a good edu. to get a good job" because for many kids it's not a necessity with rich parents = pay 4 erything or poor ones = teach welfare by example & both demand protection for their child fom personal accountability). The beginning to a solution Is for society to agree that edu. IS a NECESSITY to prolonged SURVIVAL and treat it as such & not an inconvenience between birth & adulthood. Then you must admit mistakes & rebuild from scratch. New clients = new needs = new product. CocaCola did not make Clear Coke it made Sprite.
Jul 25 2012: IN MY VIEW:
We need to understand the purpose of doing thing before we do it. By tagging something good or bad we acknowledge and show our own weakness cause we were the one who did that action in the first place. Finding out right reason / purpose to do an action will always give out best of results. So the first question will be "What do we expect and can expect from an educational system?", rest will be the steps necessary to make it happen.

Philippine president signs reproductive measure into law
Manila, Philippines (4E) – Philippine President Benigno Aquino on the weekend signed into law the Reproductive Health measure drawing flak from the Catholic Church,
As promised , the controversial bill is now a law before 2012 ended.
On Saturday, Malacañang confirmed Aquino had signed into law last Dec. 21 the Responsible Parenthood and Reproductive Health Act of 2012 as Republic Act 10354.
The measure became controversial due to its provisions allowing artificial contraception. The Catholic Church and "pro-life" groups accept only natural family planning.
Catholic Church officials however had vowed to fight the new law, saying the fight is not yet over.
The RH Law guarantees universal access to methods on contraception, fertility control, sexual education, and maternal care.
Sen. Miriam Defensor Santiago, co-sponsor of the bill in her opinion column with CNN in justifying the bill stated, "many poor women do not receive information on how to receive reproductive health care. Our underprivileged women have to accept standards lower than what they need, want, or deserve. According to the Department of Health, the mortality rate for Filipino mothers increased to 221 per 100,000 live births in 2011 from 162 per 100,000 live births in 2009. But not only do the women suffer, the children do, too. The children remain undernourished and undereducated because their parents are ignorant about reproductive health care and choices."
She said what made it controversial was the Catholic Church opposition not because it is "dangerous."

The Playoffs are just around the corner and we have a few suggestions that will make the next few months fun and exciting but will still allow you to live a somewhat normal life:
1. Pick a goal ritual. Every time your team scores a goal do something like busting a move to your favourite song, having a swig of your beer or have a special high-five with your friends. We do not suggest taking a shot of alcohol for every goal. This will not feel good the next day and take a toll on your body.
2. Grow a playoff beard. If you are a fast hair grower, make your beard into a fun and interesting shape. If you can't grow a beard, buy a knit one (or 15 for your friends).
3. Wear your team's logo, jersey or colours. This will show your pride. You can even wear them in between game days. The sweatier you are, the more you should wash your outfit.
4. Drink a lot of water. All that cheering, snacking and possible drinking will cause you to be dehydrated.
5. If you are able to, try and watch each game at a different location. This will allow you to try out different venues in your city and meet a lot of people. This can get a bit pricey so be aware of the price point and don't forget your moolah.
6. Cheer! Always cheer. Alone. Together. Cheer!
We are Canadian. We love hockey. Enjoy this magical time of year and don't forget that it's just a game, it's a team sport and have fun!

Asthma (as defined by doctors ) is "chronic inflammatory disease of the airway" and causes the symptoms such as:
• Shortness of breath
• Tightness in the chest
• Wheezing
• Coughing
I have athletic endured asthma. I really noticed it in elementary school when doing the annual Terry Fox Run. I had to run around the field and it was very challenging for me. I couldn't breathe. Since then, when doing physical activity, I use an inhaler. I stumbled upon this article from MindBodyGreen and had to share it. I'm thinking of changing the way I eat to see if it makes a difference. Have you tried this before?
How I Cured My Asthma Naturally & Why I'll Never Use An Inhaler Again
By Katricia Kelly
I will not use my inhaler ever again! That's what I said to myself a year after I was diagnosed with asthma in 2010. In the summer of 2011, I decided to make a career and lifestyle change and enrolled in a health coaching program to learn more about nutrition. During that time, I did extensive research on asthma, some of the causes, side effects and if there were any cures.
I found that a plant-based diet was very beneficial for people with asthma. Diets high in meat, especially fatty meats like beef and pork, can be big asthma triggers. A diet consisting of fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, oatmeal, brown rice, and whole grains is best. It should also include significant amounts of protein.
I immediately started to incorporate more vegan meals daily until I was comfortable with the change. I started eating about 75% vegan and I saw results in about 30 days. I didn't need my inhaler anymore and I haven't used it since.
No one really knows what causes asthma, but it's important to know some of the triggers and what to avoid. In my case, the cause is still unknown as I didn't get asthma until I hit my 40s.
I became aware of my shortness of breath immediately after eating or drinking certain things like desserts, wine, peanuts and cheese. Consuming these items can trigger your asthma, in addition to other items such as:
• Eggs
• Soy
• Wheat
• Nuts
• Cow's milk (cheese, ice cream, yogurt)
• Processed foods (packaged, canned, boxed, frozen)
• Soft drinks
• Fast food
• Alcoholic beverages
• Shrimp
• Bottled juices
• Food coloring
• Desserts (made with sugar, artificial ingredients and high contents of fat)
Asthma can also be brought on by exercise, smoking, allergies, pet dander, dust mites, and even stress. Shortness of breath, wheezing and tightness of the chest are some of the symptoms among people with asthma.
It's important to not diagnose yourself, but to seek medical advice (as I did!) with any type of physical discomfort.
As the root of my discomfort was revealed, my determination to get rid of it grew strong and so did my love for whole foods and a healthy lifestyle. Pounds slowly started shedding and they continue too, 25 pounds and counting. It was all mainly a process of elimination for me. I keep track of what bothers me and what doesn't now and I avoid those items that will cause me discomfort as much as possible. Here is a list of some of my favorite items I enjoy weekly, some of them have good sources of protein (listed in grams) per serving:
• Quinoa – 6 grams
• Walnuts, cashews and almonds – 5 to 8 grams
• Avocado – 10 grams
• Sweet potato – 5 grams
• Spinach – 5 grams
• Broccoli – 5 grams
• Garbanzo beans (Hummus) – 14.5 grams
• Oatmeal – 6 grams
• Sprouted grains – 7- 10 grams
• Nut butters – 8 grams
• Cannellini beans 13-15 grams
• Cucumbers
• Kale
• Apples
• Grapefruit
• Arugula
I've slowly started adding back some poultry and fish occasionally as my body craves it sometimes and you should always listen to what your body is telling you.
During the colder months, I need a little more and that's okay, I just do my best to select items that are cage-free, fresh, and organic as often as possible. I don't eat 100% vegan and I'm not sure that I ever will, but the nice little changes that I've incorporated have given me amazing results.
In addition to my dietary changes, I've also incorporated meditation and Bikram yoga into my lifestyle as well. It's really all a package deal when you think about it, a sound mind equals a sound body.

Though recent strong winds havenŌĆÖt been much to brag about in terms of breaking any records, that hasnŌĆÖt stopped the weather from posing a threat to local homeowners and fire districts.
Smoke from lightning-sparked fires in areas of Central and Eastern Washington shrouded the skies over the Colville Valley last Sunday evening and Monday morning, causing some residents to experience discomfort from smoke inhalation.

Indians move up to GNL
S-E Sports Editor
Colville High lost some key components off last NovemberŌĆÖs Class 1A state runner-up team, but the Indians certainly have enough left in the tank to make for an interesting reintroduction into the Class 2A Great Northern League.
The Indians will be led by third year varsity standout Kevin Carpenter. The junior finished eighth and got a spot on the podium at last NovemberŌĆÖs State 1A meet at Sun Willows Golf Course in Pasco.
One of strongest-ever CHS teams
If Colville High were slotted where it belonged, back in the Northeast A League, the Indians would certainly be favorites to successfully defend the 1A championship they won last November in Yakima.
That said, the Indians, who return to the Class 2A Great Northern League this fall for a two-season run, will be a force to contend with in their old league. Under longtime coach Missy Bennett, entering her 27th season at the helm, Colville was always a power in the GNL.

Just a quick update: The field is in fine shape, nicely mowed thanks to Frank, and the flying weather has been lovely. As usual, Sunday mornings and early afternoons are best if you want some fun companionship or would like to learn more about the club. Lately we've seen training, help with getting new transmitters to play nicely with new planes, and fortunately not many crashes. We've also welcomed some new members, so come on down and get your plane or helicopter out, or just watch and learn.

Welcome to the April news letter of SPARKS, The Springfield Area Radio Kontrollers. Not too much to share this month.
NEXT MEETING: The next club meeting is Wednesday April 11, 2012 7p at The Knights of Columbus,
460 Granby Road, Chicopee
. This will be our last indoor meeting, so the meeting on Wednesday May 9 will be at the field 6:30p due to early darkness (you'll get a reminder next month). Gigger will be cooking before May 9th meeting, so be sure to come!
AT THE FIELD: Recent windy weather made for more-than-the-usual amount of exciting flying these last few weeks, but members continue to gather at the field to fly, shoot the breeze, and in general solve the world's problems. (Or cause some, depending on who you talk to.) I had the opportunity to brush up on my tree-climbing skills to snag a wayward plane out of a pine, proving that the hobby combines all kinds of diverse skills. The field is not too bumpy, but it'll be nice to have it rolled out soon.
CHICOPEE-FEST-OF-ALL: Thanks to a team effort we now have a slot at the
) on Saturday June 30 from 3-5p (weather permitting) to share our hobby and promote the club. Any members willing to put a plane on display (gas, nitro or electric) or fly an electric plane or helicopter, or to just stop by and talk to the visitors at the Fest about our awesome hobby, hand out brochures, or help out in any other way, please contact Gigger by email or phone (
, 413-887-7769). It will be lots of fun! We will be discussing this event more at our next and final indoor meeting on April 11th.
Happy flying,

Henry County Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program announces the release of the draft federal fiscal year 2013 Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER). The CAPER provides the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the residents of Henry County an opportunity to evaluate the overall progress of the CDBG Program in carrying out priorities and specific objectives identified in the FY 2012-2016 Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plans. It also describes actions, changes and accomplishments during the FY2013 Program Year resulting from the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program funded through HUD.
Henry County proposes that the federal fiscal year 2013 CAPER be approved, in accordance with its Citizen Participation Plan and the regulations of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) which govern the CDBG Program. The County encourages all residents and other interested parties to review the draft FY 2013 CAPER and submit their written comments during the twenty (20) day public comment period which shall be in effect from Friday, August 29, 2014 thru Friday, September 12, 2014.

The Henry County CDBG Program is excited to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program. CDBG will turn 40 on August 22, 2014. The CDBG Program is authorized by Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974.
CDBG funds are a block grant that can be used to address critical and unmet community needs including those for housing rehabilitation, public facilities, infrastructure, economic development, public services, and much more. CDBG eligible activities are initiated and developed at the state and local level based upon a communitys needs, priorities, and benefits. On July 1, 2014, Henry County entered its third program year as a CDBG entitlement urban county with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
The primary objective of the CDBG Program is to develop viable urban and rural communities by providing decent housing, a suitable living environment, expanding economic opportunities, and improving the quality of life principally for low- and moderate-income persons. Each year, approximately 95% of funds are invested in activities that primarily benefit low and moderate income persons. Since 1974, $144 billion of CDBG funds have been invested in communities nationwide.
For FY 2014, there are 1,220 grantees including cities, counties, states, insular areas, and non-entitlement counties in Hawaii. However, the potential reach of the CDBG Program is to every community either directly or indirectly; that mean more than 7,250 local governments have access to funding. CDBG is an important catalyst for community development and economic growth. It helps local officials leverage funds for community needs.
2013 Nationwide CDBG Program Accomplishments
The primary goal of CDBG is to develop and strengthen viable urban communities by providing decent housing and suitable living environments principally for low- and moderate-income persons and/or households.
CDBG-funded projects and services must meet one of the Programs' National Objectives:
The following are considered eligible CDBG activities:
The following activities may Not be assisted with CDBG funds:
The following activities will generally Not be assisted with CDBG funds:

Mikey Dubs searching for the voices. Photo courtesy of the artist.
Mikey Dubs prefers to step in and out of different styles, trying them on for size. He's made industrial, post-punk, garage, techno, and house musics. But it's always the dub reggae that keeps him grounded. "You can expect my music and deejay sets to traverse a number of scenes," he says, "but I take all my influences and relate them to dub." Hence the name.
Dub has always been the one constant in this Bushwick resident's long running musical exploration, combining it's signature production elements with whatever genre he is playing with.
As a genre, dub began in the 1970s, spearhead by early innovators like King Tubby and Lee "Scratch" Perry. Reggae music singles often include a dub version as a B-side, which is basically an instrumental with some added effects like echo and reverb, sometimes including small bits of extra instrumentation. Eventually the dub style grew independent of vocal tracks and flourished on its own.
"Dub reggae has always been a running thread in my music. Original deejay culture comes from sound system culture, so it's no surprise that influence is there." He's referring to the events where Jamaican deejays would bring big sound systems into the streets and play to huge crowds. This is the the root of reggae.
The dubplate — limited vinyl pressings of someone's music — is another tradition of sound systems that Dubs continues with some of his own songs: "It's basically a promotional tool these days. But digital music is so ephemeral. I love the tactility of a record. And there's a warmth to an analog recording that you can't get from digital."
Given this interest in combining dub reggae with other genres, his attachment to dubstep would seem obvious. The simple constant of bass, syncopated percussion, and a speed of around 140 beats per minute allows the artist room to be creative, he explains: "What's great about it is that it's constantly evolving. Sure, there's these hardcore 'dubstep' guys making brostep — that aggressive, wobbly mid-range bass frequency set to a half-time beat — and so everyone's coming up with different names to describe their stuff and differentiate themselves. But for all these names, these artists are still being lumped in with dubstep, but they all have a different take on it."
"In a lot of scenes, there's this urge to do what everyone else is doing," the artist adds. "And they become staid, locked in. Every few years there's this hot button genre that everybody runs to. But at some point the creativity dries up because everyone's on the bandwagon."
But Dubs points to the Hotflush label — and particularly their new release by Mount Kimbie — as an example of why dubstep is still vibrant. "Sure, I wouldn't know what to label the music, but it's there because of the dubstep scene. They've made their own niche style and are getting away with it."
And that's what he aspires to with his own music. "I'm always trying to find my signature element," he says. "That way I can be happy being a cultural tourist."
You can catch him next on Sept 4th at Love when he spins alongside artists from the Dirty Bird label, Tanner Ross and Sergio Santos. Alex Incyde, Falty DL, and a special, unnamed guest will also play. Expect Mikey Dubs to spin a set in the upper-tempos peppered with names like Martyn, Untold, Kode 9, and Shackleton. "Tell your sisters, lovers, and mothers," he advises. You can also hear him at his monthly Sexytime Explosion party at Keybar in Manhattan.

Can you *smell* time? Your dog can!
"When you arrive home, your dog can take one whiff of you and get the entire story of your day—where you went, how long ago, who and what you were with—including details that you yourself may not even be aware of, like the fact that there was one stray mushroom on that pepperoni pizza you had for lunch."

I'm just wondering how long before you need a new barrel? I've got about 10,000 rounds through my 10/22

Jim Clark Jr told me you would probably never shoot out a 10/22 barrel. With general maintenance it should last a long time. My oldest two are 21 yrs old. Been shot a lot
.22 bores don't get abused much from actual shooting. there isn't a whole lot of high pressure, ultra high velocity, or hard projectiles to wear the bore out. Crwons may need recutting, lead will build up, you could get an obstructed bore that causes a ring in the bore. But I'd bet most barrels that end up sunsuitable is from neglect, such as being left outside, having moisture in the bore and rusting, or similar problems, rather than wearing them out in actual shooting.

i have to agree. most 22's will last several generations of shooters if properly maintained.
do 22 barrels wear out? yes they can. if accuracy has fallen off to a huge degree and it's been properly cleaned and has no lead build-up in the barrel, then it's possible it may be time for a new barrel.
i have an older Marlin 60 that i purchased used and had been shot a bunch if it's condition was an indicator of that, that i refurbished. it still can shoot better than me on most days. it's about 35 years old and is still plenty accurate. it's still easily Minute Of Squirrel at 50 yards!
It is just getting broke in.

Two teenagers have lost their lives in a truck crash. That's the word from the Columbia County Sheriff's Office. The Office tells the Augusta Chronicle that 18 year old Chance Lonergan and 17 year old Madison Scottland Gandy were killed when they were thrown from a truck Sunday Morning in Appling, about 20 miles west of Augusta. Investigators say Lonergan died at the scene and Gandy was later pronounced dead at Georgia Regents Medical Center. The reason for the crash isn't clear yet. Authorities say an autopsy is likely to be performed on Tuesday.

Shelley Wynter added a unique and very interesting perspective to WAOK. I hope another local talk radio station picks him up. It is a shame WAOK shakes at its boots when an intelligent man like Wynter provokes intelligent conversation. His radio show format reminded me of the now defunct "Emerge" magazine. It was a show that truly challenge its listeners to look outside the box.

How to Plant a Tree: A Simple Celebration of Trees & Tree-Planting Ceremoniesby Daniel Butler
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
This gorgeously packaged little book celebrates trees and their life-affirming presence in our lives.
The earth's longest living organisms, trees exemplify nature's great strength as well as its majestic beauty. Serving as virtual lungs for our planet, trees provide us with food, medicine, and our most versatile building material. To plant a tree is to plant hope, and as an act of commemoration, it literally gives life to that remembered. While it is in-deed a practical book that explains exactly how to plant and care for a tree, How to Plant a Tree is so much more. Drawing on the ancient rituals and folklore that surround particular trees, the author explores their symbolism and traditional uses, and offers suggestions for various commemorative tree-planting acts, such as:
A marriage ceremony
A new baby ceremony
A new home ceremony
A memorial for a loved one
With lovely original black-and-white illustrations throughout, How to Plant a Tree encompasses a wealth of both useful and inspiring information, including fascinating miscellany on some of our most beloved tree species like the willow, the oak, and the plum; how to calculate a tree's age; and how you can use trees to fight climate change.
How to Plant a Tree will inspire readers to view trees as living structures of hope that will be treasured for generations to come.
With lovely, original black-and-white illustrations throughout, "How to Plant a Tree" celebrates trees and their life-affirming presence in the world.
About the Author
Daniel Butler is an environmental writer who contributes to many of the United Kingdom's leading newspapers and magazines, including Country Living, The Guardian, The Sunday Times, and The Daily Telegraph. A former editor of Tree News, the in-house magazine for the UK's Tree Council, he is a devout tree-lover (he recently planted his own thousand-tree wood!).

This test measures the amount of growth hormone (GH) in your blood.
GH is made in your pituitary gland. It affects height, bone, and muscle growth in children. It affects how adults feel and look, as well as their bone and muscle health.
GH is made in a pulse-like manner. Most GH is made while you sleep. When you're awake, little or possibly no GH is found in your blood. That makes it hard to test your GH level. Specialists have developed methods to figure out if you make too much or too little by testing your blood over time after you have been given a suppressing agent, such as glucose, or a stimulating agent, like insulin.
You may need this test if your doctor suspects you have a GH problem. Signs include:
Decreased bone density
Reduced muscle strength
Increased lipid levels, or fats in your blood
Acromegaly, or excessive GH disease
Your child might need this test if he or she has these signs:
Slow growth
Short stature
Delayed puberty
Symptoms of gigantism
You may also have this test if you have been given GH treatment, so your doctor can watch your dosage and change it if needed.
You may have this test if you are a young adult who has been taking GH for years but may no longer need it.
You may also need this test if you have acromegaly, so your doctor can keep an eye on your disease.
Your doctor may also order a blood test for insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1). GH tells your liver to make IGF-1, so usually GH and IGF-1 are correlated. GH is secreted in pulses while you sleep, but IGF is always found in your blood. That makes it much easier to find IGF-1 in your blood than GH.
Your doctor may also order other tests to look for a possible growth hormone deficiency. These tests include:
Insulin tolerance
Growth-hormone-releasing hormone
Arginine stimulation
Tests that use other drugs like clonidine, L-dopa, or glucagon
If your doctor suspects that you have excess growth hormone, he or she may order an oral glucose tolerance test.
Many things may affect your lab test results. These include the method each lab uses to do the test. Even if your test results are different from the normal value, you may not have a problem. To learn what the results mean for you, talk with your health care provider.
If your levels are higher, it may mean you have:
Acromegaly in adults
Gigantism in children
Noncancerous pituitary gland tumor in adults
If your levels are lower, it may mean you have:
Growth hormone deficiency
Levels that are higher or lower may also be caused by chronic malnutrition, cirrhosis, and stress from surgery or a serious infection.
The test requires a blood sample, which is drawn through a needle from a vein in your arm.
Taking a blood sample with a needle carries risks that include bleeding, infection, bruising, or feeling dizzy. When the needle pricks your arm, you may feel a slight stinging sensation or pain. Afterward, the site may be slightly sore.
Certain foods and beverages, especially those high in protein, can affect your results. Certain medications, including oral contraceptives containing estrogen, can also affect your results. Great physical or emotional stress and sleeping can affect your results.
Your doctor may ask you to stop taking oral estrogens for a time before this test. You also may be told to not eat or drink anything but water for a certain amount of time before the test.
Be sure your doctor knows about all medicines, herbs, vitamins, and supplements you are taking. This includes medicines that don't need a prescription and any illicit drugs you may use.

A Community prayer vigil will be held at Community Clubhouse in Crisp County on Sunday, September 14,2014 at 7pm.

Cuthbert- Many people in the Cuthbert area recently lost their jobs in closings of plants such as Columbia Forest Products.
Mayor Willie Martin says there are no sure signs of job growth right now, but the city and county are working hard to attract new businesses. "I'm working with a gentleman about a processing company coming in so we're working on things. Right now it doesn't look that bright, but we're optimistic that some things going to turn and things are going to get better," said Martin.
The Randolph County school system is the largest employer in that area.
