Cars, drivers plunge into river after Wash. I-5 bridge collapse
Fri May 24, 2013
- If you do the math the bridge is 58 years old. In the fifties the steel used to construct the bridge most likely came from US steel mills. It wasn't shoddy construction either. The problem is an infrastructure that used to be important, isn't any more. No one wants to put the tax dollars into infras …
Sleep-deprived teens cause crashes, study shows
Mon May 20, 2013
- Many of those teenagers are making and receiving texts during their "sleep" time, interrupting their deeper sleep. When my grandson was in high school he couldn't have the phone in his bedroom after the old fashioned phone bill gave the times he was on the phone, in the middle of the night. I hope t …
Michelle Obama urges grads to be 'an example of excellence'
Fri May 17, 2013
- Does no one on here get the irony of all the name calling attached to an article that talks about people engaging in a civil discourse with those of differing opinions? Do you have any idea how hard it is to teach children to not me rude and disrespectful toward others when the adults are setting su …
Alan Alda wants scientists to cut out the jargon
Wed May 1, 2013
- If you really want to communicate with others you need to use appropriate language for your audience. My fifth grade students know that there are two languages that they speak, the language of casual conversation on the playground and with their friends, and the academic language of the classroom. M …
Minnesota school district gets bulletproof whiteboards
Wed Apr 24, 2013
- I would love to see a video on how these are supposed to work. If there is one per classroom does the person closest to it get to use it? As a white board it is too big for student use and too small for teacher use. Do you put it on the wall by the door and pull it off, hit a gunman on the head with …
Donald Trump rebuked over advertisement for Scottish golf course
Wed Apr 24, 2013
- Actually Mr. Trump is becoming obsolete wind technology. The same man who took out the natural habitat and beauty to build a golf facility now is worried about the ocean view? Doesn't Holland have wind technology? They were called windmills and tourists actually come to see them.
Hospital introduces new gown design: It has a back!
Fri Apr 19, 2013
- What a simple yet brilliant idea. I spent over 40 days off and on in the hospital when I was being treated for cancer. I had a big problem with the backside of the gown. One of my wonderful nurses told me to wear two gowns, one forward, one backward. It solved the draft problem and allowed me to get …
Brother, sister drown in neighbor's uncovered pool
Sun Apr 14, 2013
- In California I believe it is state law that pools must have fences or coverings that make them inaccessible to children. Commentators trying to link this to the debate on guns show a total lack of sensitivity to anything besides their own agenda.
Pope Francis: Hypocrisy 'undermines Church's credibility'
Sun Apr 14, 2013
- Actually, if you are talking about Darwin, the book was Evolution of the Species. I am Catholic and majored in Anthropology. One of the leading evolutionists of the 20th century was a French priest. I taught for a time in a Catholic school and we taught evolution. The Church has no problem wth the c …
California case another three-part tragedy of rape, cyber bullying and suicide
Sun Apr 14, 2013
- This is NOT anything new. It has been going on for as long as there has been alcohol to cause the victim to pass out or lessen inhibitions. What is new is recording it and sharing it. The boy's locker room has always been full of verbal recounts of sexual conquests or assaults. Girls just heard the …
