Should social media be taught in school?
More and more kids are being bullied on social media, few even losing their lives. Also a lot of them spoil their future job possibilities by posting something stupid online because they don't understand future employers must be watching.
Feb 28 2013: Tax dollars to pay for computer use, absolutely! If students have access to technology it opens up a vast amount of information. Social media is ONE tool students can use for interaction and collaborative learning. If use of social media can spark interest in learning I'm all for it. Someone said "Education is not the filling of buckets , but the lighting of a fire." Students today seem to lack passion and a desire for learning. Why did that happen? If social media, despite it's dangers, can recreate that spark, why not? And don't say it is a waste of tax dollars, because tax dollars are wasted on so many other USELESS things. Money is never wasted when it's for the purpose of educating our children.

Feb 28 2013: Chandra, I would submit that Socially Responsible Media should be taught. Starting with security/privacy measures and then moving through the issues you raise. Implement the foundations of Ethics in Social Media beginning in ages 7-8. Establish the pros and cons of the use of media as well as the quality of source(s).

Mar 2 2013: I had never thought about teaching social media until this question arose. Having thought about it and reading differing opinions here, I feel as you do. Social media is here to stay. Corporations are beginning to use a person's Facebook account as a measure of hiring or not hiring a person. This will also have an effect on careers in law enforcement, at all levels, and a person's military career could also be in jeopardy.
And, ethics in social media is definitely a must.
Ricardo Vaca
Feb 10 2013: I think this a great idea. It seems like it may be difficult because the children are often ahead of the adult when it comes to technology. For example, my younger brother and sister are more proficient at certain tasks on the computer than I am. So, I think it would be a challenge for parents to try to intervene on this issue since they might not know all the facets of social media and computer usage.

With the help of an up-to-date curriculum, the problem of bullying could be mitigated and children would think twice before posting something inappropriate that could harm someone or themselves.
Feb 13 2013: Absolutely agree with you Ricardo.
Dan Clarke
Feb 6 2013: Social media is now too bigger part of modern life not to be tought in school. I also believe schools should be teaching basic finance, like how tax and bank accounts work. + time management skills.

Corey Gefroh
Feb 5 2013: I think in this day and age of technology all children should be taught the importance of internet security and how to safely navigate and post information on the internet. As part of a computer studies class, they should teach every aspect of the computer and internet beyond how to type and search for information. With social media being one of the largest growing trends in America, with kids of all ages engaging in these activities, I believe a portion of education should be devoted to social media issues.Mar 3 2013: I agree with Katie that social media should be utilized as a tool with students. It is far more a part of their world, and they must be taught to think critically with the use of social media just like anything else. Social media and the internet pose issues in finding reliable material and how we interact socially. Many online assignments that are integrated in traditional classrooms require students to learn etiquette in dealing with each other's work that is often forgotten in the vicious anonymity of the internet. While I do not necessarily advocate a Social Media 101 style course, having the basics integrated through other assignments with clear content objectives is perfectly reasonable--and frankly it is becoming necessity.Mar 2 2013: You only need to teach 2 rules..

Adi Gupte
Feb 23 2013: I have taught kids for some time now, and I know they love to follow trends. If Social Media becomes a tool to teach rather than a subject as you are suggesting, it will perform a lot better. Its the trends that need to be projected better. Like availability of learning tools and open class rooms need to reach children.

veena mony
Feb 15 2013: I am an educator and firmly believe that in this era of digital technology our children should be well equipped with the tools that are offered by this medium. With the availability of digital content at the touch of a screen social media if used sensibly provides better collaborative learning and through a process of reflection enhances student learning. I have personally used social media as a tool to inculcate learning amongst my at school and have found it rewarding. Initially when introduced students need to be guided for it is like a new toy to them but soon their intrinsic curiosity as a learner is aroused. After the introduction of social media as a tool for learning, students have realized that social media if used wisely enables them to communicate more effectively with both teachers and peers.
- +1
My research shows that students actually take to social media like a fish takes to water. Social media must be introduced to students in the first few years of secondary school and they must be made aware of the pros and cons for better understanding. Teachers may act as facilitators. However, it is the responsibility of parents to guide students and in order to do this they first need to educate themselves the power and benefits of social media.
Feb 15 2013: Well said Veena. I absolutely agree with you. In fact we had a discussion on Quib.ly on how to use social media as a tool and surprisingly we got some great ideas there: If you would like to see the discussion it's here: http://quib.ly/qu/should-schools-harness-social-media
Agree with you on the point that social media is so easily available. Better teach them how to use it wisely than scold them later for something unpleasant they may end up doing online.
I'd also love to invite you to join Quib.ly as I think as a savvy educator you may find it interesting.Feb 28 2013: i agree with your statementFeb 8 2013: Social media not only should be taught in schools, it needs to be taught in schools. Just as typing was considered an essential part of a school's technology curriculum, social media ought to be added to the list. As social media becomes a larger part of our lives, our students need to learn the best practices for a beneficial experience and personal safety. We shouldn't teach it all in fear, though. Many benefits can come from social media (networking connections, new information, creating a community, self-expression) and those should be emphasized, too.
Feb 23 2013: I completely agree, there are so many good things that come along with social media that aren't always highlighted.Mar 4 2013: It is a very good idea. VERYMar 4 2013: This will should make you think about the future of schools (and jobs). http://www.ted.com/talks/sugata_mitra_build_a_school_in_the_cloud.html I was thoroughly impressed with the TED talk.Mar 4 2013: For one, I highly doubt that future employers would take the immense amounts of time required to go through the vast extent of a potential employee's entire internet posting history. And secondly such anti-bullying efforts are already being implemented in a large number of schools, at least here in the US. I think you need to stop worrying so much about "big brother" and simply try your best to impart positive values and attitudes to your children.Mar 3 2013: With the prevalence of social media, I think that it should be taught in schools. Younger people are using it more and more often, so it would be beneficial if they learned to utilize it as a tool. Educators can teach children how to use it efficiently and responsibly. Education should teach skills that are directly applicable to students when they are outside of the classroom, where there is constant change. Knowing how to use social media responsibly is a skill that can benefit students both professionally and personally.Mar 1 2013: To answer your question DIRECTLY, No.
To teach social media in schools would require to change the curriculum. Making things more advance to understand and cope with social media. It also depends on the grade level you are inquiring about. I would not support social media being taught in elementary school or middle school (basically k-8). Again, just to be clear, I wouldn't support it at all. However, since I am not the powers that be, if it would to hit High School curriculum, high school student may be more prepped for college courses.
Social media teaches individuals different personalities as if everyone involved in social media had DID (not that I am implying they do..Lol). So a course / class should be designed to teach students interested in psychology. Also anyone interested in research or sociology.
Just my two sents…Mar 1 2013: Like it or not, social media has become at major part of today's society. Children are the future of that society and simply closing our eyes to the widespead expansion of these tools (ie. Social media and networking sites) and not preparing children to engage and use it for the benefit of their education is shortsighted. We need to embrace technological advancements that greatly impact our day to day lives and ensure our children get the best from them. The comments I have read from this conversation so far call for education and social responsibility. I could hardly agree more and feel that for true enhancement of learning including the ability to collaborate and share ideas over distance social media must become a feature in todays education system.Mar 1 2013: Schools could teach - children to use Discretion as we are in an age of information overload. Children could be taught how to select useful information; if children take in all information available they would be confused and hurt themselves.Mar 1 2013: why not?Social Media is a very good technology to help people learning,sharing with each other.TED website is one of it.Feb 28 2013: be amish if you wish and live in that pocket community. if your children are not taught technology they will be crippled in the world at hand. it's a choice each parent must make about public education in the first place. there is a great deal to be said for rooting a child more firmly in family before community. it is unfortunate to be born in dangerous times, but these are dangerous times for young minds..Feb 28 2013: I don't think that it's a responsibility of school by any means.
I think that each person should learn it and decide it by himself. If a man doesn't understand that we live in the era of wide spread social networks and that any person can observe any of his actions in social networks and that his actions can affect his life, then maybe he doesn't deserve to be hired?
There is something we can do though. Any social network can create a pop-up upon registration that warns user about possible consequences of his actions. This would be much more reasonable.

Feb 28 2013: Will an hour lesson have enough of an impact? I think parents and schools need to be a team in teaching kids the do and don'ts of internet use, especially social media. But we have to remember the technology divide as well. Many kids have parents who just aren't up to speed with technology. It takes a village.Feb 28 2013: This will be The One, The Only, The Last (Knowing as "Revolution"), and, The Least Revolution.Feb 27 2013: I don't believe social media should be taught in school because children and especially young children do not fully understand the ramifications of posting comments, articles, pictures or videos on social media or on the internet. They don't realize it can come back to bite you at the time or even in later years. It can also cause irreparable harm to other children if used incorrectly as in bullying other children. It can also cause legal harm to the child and to the parents of that child. There are some good aspects to allowing children to access social media but in my opinion the bad aspects outweigh the good.
Feb 28 2013: Really interesting answer, Laura. Because it could be argued that the aspects of social media use that you mention are all good reasons why social media *should* be covered in school! In other words, teenagers are using social networks in their millions (and pre-teens too) so they need to be taught, in your words, 'the ramifications of posting comments, articles, pictures or videos on social media or on the internet' also, echoing your words, the harm that can be caused if not used safely, what to do when bullying occurs, and the legal aspects. Really the question is whether social media should be taught in school, not whether kids should be allowed on social media (in many ways, that ship has sailed) and I think your answer highlights why it should.
Feb 28 2013: Holly, I could not agree more with you. By the way, if these same schools are using the internet, computers, technology, etc... in their curriculum then they should be responsible as a participant. As I stated to Chandra, the schools should teach Socially Responsible Media just the same as sex ed, driver's ed, health, etc...Feb 27 2013: Social media, like all other things, must be used in moderation. I am a child of the Technology Era, and many, if not all, of my friends, peers, etc. use social media to communicate and express themselves. Schools have the responsibility of educating people in the ways of the world, and if schools are to continue this job, they must adapt to the changing times, at the same time preserving its core purpose. Students should have the ability to effectively use social media to further their lives/careers, but they should also understand that potential employers do look at social media profiles.Feb 24 2013: Chanda, Teachers often better understand their students after they meet their parents. To try to correct a lifetime of bigotory, bullying, and hate that exists with some families in a class that would last one semester would be difficult if not impossiable.
Most kids understand right from wrong ... the problem is not having consequences.
Also I think that we need to understand the purpose of schools and the primary function. As of late we have come to expect schools to raise, feed, and nurture children. Schools provide a opportunity for learning. Staff can only expose students through this opportunity .... you cannot force them to learn or accept what is presented.
I wish you well. Bob.Feb 23 2013: I think so. I'm a college journalism student in the US and oftentimes in class we reference how social media websites like twitter are shaping the field. Twitter especially is a great way to get news updates from the AP or CNN etc. not just info on what the celebrities are up to. Being able to use social media is a good skill to have especially when there are jobs specifically dedicated to managing media accounts. For example the city of Boston specifically employs someone to tweet, and make Facebook posts etc. about what's going on in the city. Learning social media in schools will probably have little impact on how students abuse the sites but it would make them more marketable. It would also help students to realize that whatever they put on the internet is there to stay and that schools they apply to, jobs they want etc. will be able to see it, they might conduct themselves differently. Either way, it's clear that social media is here to stay.Feb 23 2013: Social media is a way of control AGEISM, SEXISM, PROFITIERING, AND MAKING ANY HARD WORKING PERSON OR THEIR CHILDREN conform to what the media want ie big media corps who degraded innocent youngsters in the Hillsborough disaster OR (massacre)Feb 23 2013: I don'tknow about everyone else on this site but in this: supposedly democratic country of the U.K.we have to take the cuts that the Gov want and we can't say anything until they say but we are sick of having to work like idiots while they sit back and let us get scammed by all the money makers . Do not forget DD we should work for hard earnd cashFeb 13 2013: Actually it might be better to teach this in same gender classes only to get a better feed back from the students.
Feb 23 2013: Boys OR men don't always thing like womenFeb 7 2013: It is the responsibility of parents to guide pupils on the right use of social media. Parenting should be left majorly to parents; the teachers would handle the academics and basic school discipline.Feb 6 2013: Great. I absolutely agree with all of you. I had posted this question on Quib.ly asking parents/teachers their opinion. http://quib.ly/qu/should-social-media-be-taught-in-high-school
Everyone seems to agree that social media be taught in schools. Now, the question is are there any schools who are doing it? How can this idea be proposed to the other schools so that every child is benefitted with social media education.Feb 6 2013: Social media should ofcourse be taught in school. In this electronic age, the media plays a big role in disseminating information. They are also a magnet for all those hoaxers and cheaters who revel in deceiving others. Children should be taught the nuances of the media and how to tread the ground carefully, else they be pulled into the dirty side of it.
Its very easy to be misled in the media circus. People using facebook are lulled into a fake sense of security and they share personal info on it. This is where a basic edu on social media works out where they are helped identify the fakes. Social media itself has distinct advantages . If used properly, its a treasure trove for knowledge. Also its a great way to socialise with friends and also make new ones. Social media is one of the biggest changes thats happened to mankind and if used properly, will be a joy to use.Feb 6 2013: Luckily social media is something parents can catch up with easier, or at least I think so. I don't necessarily think there should be a social media class, more than a modern take on health class with topics of self esteem and bullying on social media platforms.
A class solely based on social media can be very useful, however many parents will be concerned of the methods and tools being used. The instructor must be very careful and preventive of the content being used.Feb 5 2013: You mean sexting? Pornification? The sexualisation of children by modern adult content available online? or the subculture of kids filming themselves with girls they know from the same schools and posting it. What's this tell you about us? What's next?
Young women need to band together online, share their stories, help each other out in each school as well as this media being taught as a live subject.

For the first time in its history, the U.S. Air Force is seeking input from the public to help solve three real-world, unclassified projects.
Known as "The Air Force Collaboratory," the Air Force's newest STEM initiative goes live Thursday on www.airforce.com/collaboratory. The educational online platform will offer the public an opportunity to engage with Airmen.
"We are excited to showcase this newest initiative for open collaboration with the public," said Col. Marcus Johnson, Strategic Marketing Division chief. "The goal of this project is to inspire STEM-inclined students and educators to engage, collaborate and solve real-world challenges faced by our Airmen today."
This experience will also highlight the breadth and variety of technologies the Air Force works with.
"These real world projects will highlight current and future Air Force technologies," said Johnson. "Technology changes the way we fly, fight and win. We want to illustrate the high-tech nature of the Air Force through this project."
The Air Force Collaboratory features three projects that will challenge participants to be creative and inventive as they work to find solutions.
The first project, "Search and Rescue 2.0," which will be active for collaboration from Aug. 1 to Sept. 30, solicits participants to develop new technologies through rapid prototyping for search and rescue operations to help save lives trapped in collapsed structures.
The second project, "Mind of a Quadrotor," which will be active for collaboration from Sept. 1 to Oct. 31, challenges participants to help build a system that allows a quadrotor to navigate its surroundings with minimal human interaction.
The third and final project, "Launch of GPS IIF," which will be active for collaboration from Oct. 1 to Nov. 30, tests participants to determine the most effective location within the GPS satellite constellation to launch the Air Force's newest GPS satellite.
"We seek the best and brightest to help the Air Force develop innovative and unique ideas that will enhance our Airmen's capabilities to accomplish their missions," said Johnson. "Through collaboration, we can create solutions using creative thinking and problem solving skills. There are no bad ideas, so we ask those involved to voice them. Your ideas can help save lives."

Creston School Board passed a controversial motion to renovate the Creston High School gymnasium by adding handrails to the bleachers.
Boardmembers Galen Zumbach motioned and Ron Dunphy seconded for the handrails to be added by Experts Edge of Kalona. The motion passed with a vote of 3-2. Boardmembers Rich Flynn and Rick Fyock voted no.
The motion consisted of two sections of the Creston High School gymnasium bleachers having two rows of handrails installed. One section is on the visitor's side and the other is on the home side. Both sections will be closest to the west exits.
"What concerned me was when I saw ... two men carry an elderly woman from the stands because she couldn't navigate the steps. So, to me, what would happen had she fallen?" said Zumbach.
There were three companies that bid on the project. Experts Edge bid the rails at $8,266.90 and the steps at $6, 715, totaling $14,981.90 to install handrails in the entire gym. Boland Recreation of Marshalltown bid $4,800 per side, and $5,000 for labor per side, totaling $19,600 for the whole gym. BR Athletic Facility Products and Services bid $2,734 per aisle, totaling $16,404.
"Two of these three companies came out and physically looked at (the bleachers)," said Gary Briley, Creston School District maintenance director.
Briley also said maintenance needs to be done on the bleachers that would call for an additional $5,000 to $6,000. He said having the company repair the bleachers at the time of installing the handrails would be cheaper overall because there would not be a second trip charge for the company coming to Creston.
"I would go with the two low bids," Briley said. "Both those companies traveled out here and looked at things, inspected things, took pictures. The highest bid, they didn't. They talked to me on the phone."
Experts Edge will also widen the aisle so those sections of bleachers meet the standard set to comply with Iowa code. However, widening the aisle and installing the handrails will remove 56 seats from the bleachers. The bleachers currently hold approximately 1,000 people.
"I don't see any problem in doing it," said Fyock. "At the time (of the meeting), they said it wouldn't be up to Iowa code and that the people that would be installing them would have us sign a waiver. And, that just bothered me."
According to Briley, to be up to standard according to Iowa code, the whole gym must have handrails installed. However, because the board passed the motion for partial handrail installment, Experts Edge will require disclaimers to be signed stating the school district understands the work will not be up to Iowa code.
Fyock wasn't the only one to voice his opinion at the meeting. According to Flynn, violating Iowa code is violating the law. Zumbach, on the other hand, said it is not against the law to violate Iowa code.
"The way they were proposing to do it, where you're doing part of the job and not all of it, that's not to Iowa code," said Flynn. "Like Mr. Briley said, we're going to violate Iowa code if we don't do the whole thing. … It kind of raises a red flag, where the company that is doing the work is making us sign a waiver."
Briley said according to previous Iowa code, Creston High School gym meets the standard, and therefore was grandfathered into the current code. However, once any form of work is done to the gym, it will no longer meet the current standard and must be brought up to the current standard.
"If we don't do it right, and somebody gets hurt, they can come back against that company, too," said Flynn.

Increasing voter turnout in primaries would dramatically improve the American system and result in more candidates with moderate positions.
It occurred to me that if I placed a bell curve over this simple linear model of politics I could show the distribution of American political attitudes.
I divided the moderates such that conservative moderates are located from center to 1 standard deviation(SD) to the right of the mean and liberal moderates are from center to 1 SD to the left of the mean.
What this shows is that the majority of Americans are in the middle of the political spectrum.
This is where I may coin a term "the 68%". The 68% are the majority of Americans. They are working class Americans, students, teachers, parents, grandparents and veterans. They are by definition moderate being somewhere to the right and left of center and everywhere in between.
The two parties usually employ sensitive issues to fire up the base and to divide and distract those people in the middle of the political spectrum, the 68%. They agree on virtually all accounts except for abortion, and maybe gay marriage. Regardless these two issues are deployed every election cycle to divide and distract, and after every cycle the status quo, the state of affairs on abortion and same-sex marriage, remains the same.
But if most Americans are somewhere in the middle, why do our candidates come from the left and right of center?
Voter turnout in the primaries is very low compared to during the general election, and sometimes it is as low as 1% or lower (it averages probably around 10-15% but can get as high as 25-30%).
The result is the simple truth that while those in the middle of the political spectrum, the moderate majority decides who will be our president, it is those people on the far left and right (the fringes) that decide who the two candidates will be. In essence the 68% do choose who will be President but it is the 1% and the 10% that decide who will run.
Primaries are just as important as general elections!!!

"It would make the problem worse as the ones who are apathetic are decidedly left wing" ...
"The left wants free stuff because they don't want to be bothered with having a job ergo voting is too much of a burden."...
"No my point is I don't care and am not going spend time looking for evidence that you will ignore any way. "
I literally laughed out loud because from the first time you posted here, I knew full well that this would ultimately be your response when asked to back up your postion.
'I believe xyz is true...and no, I'm not going to back that up with anything',
Essentially the Republican stance on every subject matter.
You really should learn that you're not on a tea-party forum and that you can't get away with saying literally any sweeping ridiculous statement and expect nothing but a wave of unthinking bobble headed audience members to nod their heads in agreement, just because you're shouting at a podium.
Ofcourse, I'm largely just a lazy illegal immigrant drug-using communist who sets fire to christmas trees and baby jesus statues, paid for with my welfare check (I.E/ politcally left leaning).. but just remember that we could always use some more people on our weekly 'heroine and Karl marx wednesdays' if you wish to join us.
One of us, one of us, one of us..

Dec 16 2012: I disagree. There was an editorial on Nightline years ago that's stuck with me since. It was summed up in the end as "If you don't care, don't vote," which strikes me as a good summation. There are only so many people who are passionate enough about the election to educate themselves on the issues. If it's 1%, so be it. But let those voters, the passionate, educated voters, and only those voters, determine the outcome of the election. Rousing hoards of uncaring voters to the polls does not strike me as patriotic, it strikes me as a very bad idea.
- +1
Dec 16 2012: My argument is logically valid (the conclusion follows from the premises) and it is deductive in nature, meaning that if you accept the premises then you must accept the conclusion. So to reject the conclusion is to reject 1 or more premises, so which premises do you reject?
With all due respect your argument or more precisely your summation of Nightline's argument is what in logic is called a fallacy of composition.
"This line of reasoning is fallacious because the mere fact that individuals (within a class) have certain characteristics does not, in itself, guarantee that the class (taken as a whole) has those characteristics." http://www.nizkor.org/features/fallacies/composition.html
A hidden premise in this argument is that all primary voters are passionate and educated on the issues, and anyone who does not vote in the primaries is not while this is most definitely true of some it can not on its own merit serve as a basis to make such a broad generalization about every primary voter or every general election voter who did not vote in the primaries.Jan 16 2013: I' m afraid that the triumph of "Diversity" has balkanized the US to the degree that more representative government, no matter how structured, will merely increase the clique antagonisms that are so obvious in daily politics. I can remember when Senators were polite to each other, even friendly.( long ago) Yugoslavia was an example of forced integration of warriing factions. It, and a hundred other such experiments just didn't pan out. We should imitate the citizens of "Czechoslovakia", and undertake an amicable Divorce, before it is too late.Jan 14 2013: The real, only way to get a better selection is to break the central parties down into separate groups, each with their own party endowments. This is exactly what happens when you have a primary for each political party.
The line of candidates that ran for the republican presidential candidate varied from far left to moderate conservative. I would call Romney moderate leaning while his running mate was heavily conservative leaning. What is interesting is that the Conservatives choose a moderate leaning candidate.
The Democrat's, appeared to overwhelmingly fall behind President Obama, indication no real motions to change any of the democratic initiatives. As a result there were few contenders for the office on the democratic side.
Looking at it from this perspective, Which party actually presented a moderate initiative in the last 2012 election. I would have to say the Republicans (I voted for Obama). Remember the election was close to the 50/50 line so we have half the voters inclined towards a moderate solution and half set staunchly on moving things along a Liberal agenda.
If there is a moderate majority of voters. I would have to say that a majority of them exist in the Republican sector.
A moderate party could serve to be the liaison between the current conflict of interests we find in Congress today. The so called, Secret group of congresspersons was supposed to work for this purpose. Where are they?
What would a moderate party stand for? What would be their platform?
The real impedance in the last election, in my opinion, revolved around wither we would continue a war footing in the Middle East or not. All other issues were secondary to this central issue, even unemployment and the bad financial situation. I have to ask myself why?
The answer: There are certian things we cannot control, Energy being one of the most important, and how many wealthy families are going to loose ground in the fight for political power.Jan 12 2013: We can debate the consequences of increased turnout all day long, but if we want a real answer, we must ask a more basic question: How do we increase turnout?Jan 4 2013: Right on!!!!!Jan 4 2013: "I divided the moderates such that conservative moderates are located from center to 1 standard deviation(SD) to the right of the mean and liberal moderates are from center to 1 SD to the left of the mean.
What this shows is that the majority of Americans are in the middle of the political spectrum."
What? Did I misread this in my flu stupor? Nothing has been shown, I find this particularly distressing because this country is definitely NOT in the middle of the spectrum.Jan 1 2013: Your dreaming. All it would be is more doing the same thing, nothing.
Jan 4 2013: Elections work at the local and state levels. The myth about elections is generally over the executive branch, and since we're not in a dictatorship we cannot expect one man to run this country. Although presidents have been expanding the executive's branch's power, both perceived and actual, for a long time now. It would probably be beneficial if we as a society recognized this, did away with the practice and actually put more pressure on the house and senate. Those people get away with murder and they effectively use the president as a scapegoat.Dec 29 2012: It's relatively easy to conceive of several changes that could bring about fairer contests with better choices and greater voter participation. For example, we could (in theory) replace the gerrymandering by state legislatures with bipartisan commissions that would follow geographical rather than political logic when they adjust district boundaries. We could (in theory) replace party primaries with a single open primary followed by a general election that pitted the top three candidates from the primary against one another. We could (in theory) offer a small tax credit or a discount on car registration or driver's license fees to anyone who votes in any election.
None of these things is going to happen, at least not over the short term, because the people who would need to make these changes are the same people who have already benefited from the gerrymandered big-money two-parties-only low-participation system we currently have in place. There are a very few worthwhile experiments going on around the country at the state level (Wisconsin set up a bipartisan redistricting commission, Vermont seems to be moving into a post-party model at the state & national level), but these have been swamped by the recent efforts of Republicans to shrink the size of the voting public & protect the careers of incumbents.
I know that primaries were originally intended to be an improvement over the smoke-filled room, but they've become a new version of the problem they were intended to solve. We'd be much better off without them--but I have no idea how to make that happen.Dec 20 2012: The chief problem with our national election system lies with the large sums of money candidates need to get elected. Legislators planning to run again are forced to accept money from donors who expect access and favors. Somehow we have got to reduce the cost of campaigning for elective office.
The next problem is to find a fair redistricting of the voter population.
The third problem is on its way to being solved, i.e. the unfairness of the Electoral College. Some states have decided that all their Electoral Votes will be awarded to the candidates receiving the majority of votes regardless of party. If this trend in circumventing the two-party electoral process continues, the Electoral College unfairness will be solved.Dec 19 2012: I don't know that these voters would be more informed...so I am not so sure they would make our situation any better. I think a better approach would be to educate the current voting population. Produce more resources for people to better understand how our economy and government really work.
If we know some of us have no clue....how do we value a popular vote? Does a really misguided, but popular, vote do anything positive for us?Dec 19 2012: It sounds to me lthat your first assumption that "political opinion" is a simple scalar variable which goes from extremely conservative to extremely liberal, or something like that. Isn't that grossly simplistic?
It also sounds like your main assumption, very common among people in the USA, is that political elections are decided primarily by the voters when, in fact, nothing could be further from the truth. The political process in the USA is determined largely by special interest groups, where those who throw the most money at an issue are usually the most successful. The dominant position of the media to manipulate and control public opinion needs to be understood.
The fact that barely 50% of eligible voters participate in a presidential election, with fewer in congressional and far fewer in most state and local elections, also needs to be understood. How many non-voters abstain because they find none of the candidates acceptable? How many are simply apathetic? A careful review of the Ron Paul campaign last year might be strongly educational, because the language used by the major media were extremely influential in scuttling the candidacy, without discussing the merits of his positions on various issues ... at least it seemed to me that he took positions and made them clear while other major candidates attempted to placate and please as many constituents as possible while concentrating on lambast and vague platitudes.Dec 17 2012: Your argument completely ignores the huge influence of gerrymandering.
You make the assumption of a balanced bell curve, whereas the truth is that the curve for each district is often very lopsided, by design. If the goal is to get more moderate candidates, something will have to be done about gerrymandering. With today's polling techniques, combined with computerized statistical mathematics, the design of congressional districts has become a very detailed and very sophisticated craft.
Jan 4 2013: I've seen that to be true, but when contemplating it, what do we do about it? I'd be very interested to hear some brain storming about that...Dec 17 2012: Daniel, Didn't the republicians put up enough candidates in the primaries? I don't think that the number of voters is, in my opinion, of primary concern. I would think that the lack of understanding government, economics, diplomacy, and in general the Constitution is .. or should be ... of greater concern. Further I believe this to be true of both parties.
I have chosen to be a independent .. however, in the primaries the liberterian made the most sense in solving domestic and economic problems .. I was not so sure of his diplomatic skills or his thoughts on world affairs, but that is my opinion.
On your attacks on Pat and your statement on FOX news you have made clear where you stand ... but lets set that aside for a second.
As a Polisi major how do you go about being elected. Rule # 1 is never tell the whole truth .. people would go screaming off into the night and you would never get out of the primaries. Rule # 2: Tell em what they want to hear. It worked in Argintina and it worked again in the USA. Rule # 3: Divide them. Class warfare is the simplest means and the most effective and has been a political tool from the begining. and on and on .... You know the drill.
Just as a matter of discussion ... if the people were all well verses in political science, economics, geo politics, the true state of Americas problems (including the FED), bailouts, etc ..., and the Constitution who would have been the final two in the election?
Just curious. Dogenes would have laughed in passing these two.
Dec 18 2012: I would not say that I have attacked anyone. Rather I was debating Mr. Gilbert i.e putting forth premises in support of a conclusion. I don't think demanding reason and logical consistency is an attack.
I have not "made it clear where I stand" but I will. I am a registered Republican and have been since I registered to vote at age 18.
However I am obviously not like the tea party types who have come to exert great influence within the GOP.
I am a moderate Republican one of the last of a dying breed. The way in which I differ from many of my fellow republicans and really many democrats is that I let reason and knowledge guide my vote regardless if that means I break from the parties platform.
I believe that the first Amendment means that we cannot canonize the bible in our legal code.
I am pro-gun. If they banned guns I would follow the ban but to do so it can not be an ordinary act of congress they must amend the constitution as the constitution demands. This is why the Brady bill was considered unconstitutional. Amending the constitution can only be done with a super majority 66% of both houses or of the various state legislatures).
I also believe the GOP is on the wrong side of reason on climate change. Did I mention I live in Kentucky (BIG BLUE NATION)? Today 12/17/2012. In Lexington there was a huge thunderstorm with a lot of hail. If we are getting any precipitation this time of year it should be cold rain or snow. There's a lot more evidence for climate change but I have ranted enough there is scientific consensus.
The point the contemporary GOP is on the wrong side of reason. Some dare I say are anti-intellectual (tea party).
The GOP in the past could enter the public forum with reason and work together for the common good.Dec 17 2012: Is the following syllogism representative of your argument?. . .
A: Moderate candidate's chances for nomination are directly proportional to voter turnout in Primary Elections.
B: Voter turnout in Primary Elections is very low compared to the General Election.
C: Therefore Moderate candidates have significantly reduced chances of nomination.Dec 16 2012: It would make the problem worse as the ones who are apathetic are decidedly left wing
Dec 16 2012: Do you have any evidence to support this conclusion? It seems to me if you are left wing then you care about left wing issues thus denoting an absence of "ennui".
Dec 16 2012: It is a known and accepted fact. I don't know where it is, but it is hardly a delusion conclusion. The left wants free stuff because they don't want to be bothered with having a job ergo voting is too much of a burden.
Dec 16 2012: "It is a known and accepted fact." By who Fox News?
You can not make a claim and then when pressed for evidence support that claim in such a manner.
It is logically fallacious.
This type of reasoning is known as an Appeal to Belief "This line of "reasoning" is fallacious because the fact that many people believe a claim does not, in general, serve as evidence that the claim is true." http://www.nizkor.org/features/fallacies/appeal-to-belief.html
Of course I reject the idea in it's entirety that "it is a known and accepted fact" but even if everyone believed it that alone is not evidence of its truthfulness. At one time everyone believed that the earth not the sun was the center of the galaxy and that the earth was flat.Dec 17 2012: No my point is I don't care and am not going spend time looking for evidence that you will ignore any way. But reasoning really is flawed for this reason. Have a nice day
Dec 17 2012: I would not ignore any scholarly evidence that you could produce....
If you don't care enough to back your claim with actual evidence why bother replying at all?
Trolling perhaps?Dec 17 2012: Here is some statistical evidence for you....
If you compare the two figures for any given state you will either get a positive number (meaning that state pays in more in taxes than it gets back from the government in entitlements) or a negative number (meaning that the state gets more money from Washington than it pays in).
Do the math... do you notice a pattern? Overwhelmingly the Red states receive more from government than they pay in, and overwhelmingly the Blue states pay more into the system than they receive in entitlements....
Isn't this the opposite of your claim??Dec 17 2012: This relates to voter apathy how?
Dec 17 2012: "The left wants free stuff because they don't want to be bothered with having a job ergo voting is too much of a burden."
Your words.
You connected having a job and voter apathy yourself. Please stop making this easy.Dec 17 2012: Are you and John Smith the same person?
Have a nice day

Solar System Ambassadors from around the country helped test and launch a NASA #PlutoTime app that helps educate the public about the surprising amount of sunlight at Pluto - and engages the public in the results from the New Horizons mission Pluto flyby that occurred on July 14, 2015. Find your #PlutoTime here:
The Solar System Ambassadors Program (SSA) is a public outreach program designed to work with motivated volunteers across the nation. These volunteers communicate the excitement of JPL's space exploration missions and information about recent discoveries to people in their local communities.
For 2015, there are 615 Ambassadors in 50 states, Washington DC, Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands and Guam bringing the excitement of space to the public. Ambassadors are space enthusiasts from various walks of life who are interested in providing greater service and inspiration to the community at large.
The Solar System Ambassadors Program builds on and expands the outstanding efforts undertaken by the Galileo mission since 1997. Because of the success of the original Galileo Ambassadors program, JPL missions exploring Jupiter, Saturn, Mars, Asteroids, Comets, Earth, the Sun and the Universe now come together to expand the program's scope to the Solar System and beyond.
To arrange for a Solar System Ambassador event in your community, click the Directory tab, select your state or territory and review the entries. Ambassadors furnish short biographical statements for the purpose of detailing their areas of interest and expertise. Following the biography is a list of past events conducted by the Ambassador to further aid in decision making. Inquiries about an Ambassador's availability should be made by sending an email directly to the individual.
Check the "Calendar of Events" section as well to see if an Ambassador event will be occurring in your local community. For a listing of Solar System Ambassadors by name, visit the Directory of Ambassadors.
Applications to become a Solar System Ambassador are accepted once a year during the month of September. Successful candidates begin their one-year, renewable term of service the following January 1. The Announcement of Opportunity and application form will be posted on this site on September 1.
The Solar System Ambassadors Program is sponsored by the JET PROPULSION LABORATORY in Pasadena, CA, an operating division of the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) and a lead research and development center for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

"The card came out perfectly & was exactly the way we envisioned it. We were thrilled with the end result & we're proud to send to our family & friends."
"this birth announcement is very beautifully put together and classy. Everybody who I sent one to raved about how it's the most beautiful announcement they've ever seen."
"I love that I am able to fully see the product before purchase. What you design is what you get. It is nice to be able to save the project and go back into it later to make any changes. Every time I order from Tiny Prints I am always happy. They have beautiful products!"
"When I first received these announcements I was very upset because the font in green was barely legible - it was way too light and it doesn't look this light on their site. So I contacted customer service and they got back to me immediately and they sent me new announcements with darker green font color without any hassle. They look great and I am so pleased with them! I have used tiny prints numerous times and this was the first complaint I had and their customer service was wonderful! I will continue to use them in the future."
"We loved this design. We used a black and white photos of out baby girl, one for the front and one in the back. I thought it was just a bit too much pink, so we changed the font color to the chocolate to better match the photo. We also chose the double thick matte paper which gave the announcement some added weight and thickness. Worth the extra money and definitely feels like a high quality product."

Szechuan's Dumpling Is Amazing, Lucky Arlington
Mr. Swank and I were passing through Arlington Heights this evening and saw a large "OPEN" sign at SD. Turns out the grand opening was tonight! We decided on takeout. The dining room was fairly busy with a good assortment of olds, youngs, families and so forth.
OK, so -- we got the mini juicy pork buns. Rivals anything I've eaten in Chinatown. Perfectly explosive-in-your-mouth juiciness.
Also got shrimp and vegetable dumplings: same sensation. Both came with a yummy hot chili sauce.
I ordered beef tendon and shank in chili sauce, a specialty for me. This dish was somewhat ma la and tingly. I wish the tendon had been a bit softer, but it certainly beats the odd Jello-ish goo I've had elsewhere, plus the tingle factor earns points in my book.
Also ordered beef noodle soup (with flat noodles). WOW. Just wow. First of all, I'll be feasting on this for a week. Secondly, the broth is just rich, tangy, a bit sweet...absolutely delicious. Could've used some scallions, maybe, but in general really amazing.
Mr. Swank got pork with mustard greens and is currently moaning with delight.
The service was very nice, and the menu is enormous -- with an emphasis on soups. The house specialty list is small and focuses a lot on seafood. I did notice clams in black bean sauce with basil on the menu. There are many spicy options, too, which suits me just fine. There are also rice plates for just 6.95, including the often hard-to-find beef with tomato sauce. I'll be back to try this, as well as their oyster pancake appetizer.
The dumplings were on par with Gourmet Dumpling in Chinatown.
In general, a hearty endorsement!!
re: digga
They have Heineken and wine. We haven't seen a list, so I don't know if there are other options. They have a wait now and haven't worked out the timing so it's slow going for opening night.
Just finished an amazing meal. The Mini Juicy Pork Dumplings, Hot and Sour Soup, Eggplant with Basil, and Boneless Spareribs (not something I usually eat) were phenomenal. Authentic Chinese food comes to Arlington!
re: AtownEatz
Do you happen to know if there's an on-line menu, especially for takeout?
re: Swankalicious
Thanks, Swank. I'll stop by and grab one when I'm in the area. I feel those pesky five pounds that I've managed to scare away creeping back with this place being so close...
thanks for this. Was the pork with mustard greens, braised pork belly with preserved mustard greens?
Thx for the review.. I drove by and saw them open, pretty crowded. I look forward to trying the dumplings.
I do hope they bring the ma la on ma po tofu and twice cooked pork.. it would be nice if they could rival Chilli Garden in Medford
Very much enjoyed the beef noodles (I tried the flat noodles too) and the xiao long bao. The XLB was tasty, with moderate temperature and skin thickness. You won't burn your mouth on these.

Sorry to hear about your loss. Im new to the board so obviously I dont know about anything past on here but I wouldnt even want to think about how much its going to stink the day my dad passes on.
The only experience I can even compare was when my best friend died in a waverunner accident. He was 20 at the time. The best thing I can tell you is what I've discovered since the day my friend pased on 6 years ago is that people only really die in their physical form but that their dreams and memories live vicariously through your recollection of them. I get through a lot of rough days this way. In this respect you can always keep your dad with you.

|The Life-Transforming Diet
The Life-Transforming Diet
This book, The Life-Transforming Diet, focuses on the health and nutritional principles of Maimonides, Rabbi Moshe ben Maimon (1135/1138 to 1204), universally known as The Rambam, who is considered one of the greatest ancient physicians and philosophers in Jewish history. Over 800 years ago, the Rambam wrote: "Whoever conducts himself in the ways we have set forth, I will guarantee that he will not get sick throughout his life.... He will not need a doctor and his body will be in perfect shape and remain healthy all his life." (Mishneh Torah, Hilchot De'ot 4:20.)
Zulberg explains that many contemporary nutrition and eating issues were actually addressed by the Rambam. Experts hold that The Rambam's writings on health and the prevention of disease remain relevant today, including basic advice on what to eat, when to eat, how to eat, and the importance of exercise. He encourages food awareness, and the gradual creation of healthy eating habits.
David Zulberg, spent seven years studying in Israel and holds a Masters from Columbia University, is an ACE certified Fitness specialist and certified Health Coach. Zulberg is considered one of the foremost experts in Maimonides' medical works. His book, 'The Life Transforming Diet', is currently in its sixth printing.
As a result of the book's success, Zulberg further pursued his interest in herbal remedies based on the Rambam's writings. He consulted with expert herbalists and naturalists globally, including experts in India and China, launching a company, Bio Herbal Tech, focused on providing life changing nutritional supplements.

This is a pretty big blow to the O-line. I'm guessing it will continue to be Lilja sliding over to center and Jeff Allen at LG.

I wondered if Allen could start for us right away when we drafted him, guess we find out now
I always felt your first rounder and MOST of the 2nd round draft picks should be able to start for a team IF not why draft someone that high(considering we were 11th). I am liking Poe and I hope Allen is starting worthy.
Even though CB depth is noticeably suspect, the depth on the o-line is certainly going to be tested, and the draft for such is looking very wise right now.
I think it was BrDempsey who said it, and I agree in full... But I think Lilja is far better suited for the Center position.
I hope he keeps up the good work.

Between listening to new wave and boy bands and staring at our posters of Rob Lowe, Leonardo DiCaprio, and JTT, we somehow managed to style ourselves up in acid-washed jeans, biker shorts, jellies, and other semi-horrific pieces way back when. Even though we shudder to think of some of the things we wore, many of those styles have come back with a vengeance (neon remains a huge runway trend, Keds are still everywhere, and we all remember where we were the day American Apparel started selling scrunchies). Since TrèsSugar has us feeling especially nostalgic about days gone by — and there's nothing like a Friday flashback! — we've rounded up 50 of the biggest and best trends to come out of the '80s and '90s.
