South Korean man found crucified, police say - 0 views

  •  
    A South Korean man was found crucified, it was a reconstruction of the crucifixion of Jesus, with the victim wearing a crown of thorns and dressed only in his underwear. He put nails into the cross first, then drilled holes in his hands and hung himself on the cross, reports said. Police found nails, a hammer, an electric drill and pieces of wood near the body, as well as instructions on how to build a cross, and a note from the victim, reports said. The victim's family confirmed the handwriting was his. The body was found about 10 days after Good Friday, the day Christians believe Jesus was crucified.

    If the winners chose the cash option when buying the ticket, they will receive a one-time, lump-sum payment of $202.9 million. The jackpot was won by a group of 7 state workers, they will each receive roughly 20 million. All of the winners are from Albany.

    This is crazy, I just bought a ticket last week and i never checked it. What if I'm a millionaire right now.
  •  
    then were gonna run away forever just me and you bert

    @Joe D. Sounds like an awesome plan! However, it is surely best reserved for informal, classroom conversation versus a professional, public forum such as this. :-) What could you have said Joe that could have added value to this post?

    One person died after a small crashed right next to a airport in Miami. After the pilot took off he reported he was having problems and tryed to land back down at the airport. His plane went off course and came crashing down on a angle. The pilot died as the plane bursted into flames on impact.

    This is why the planes' condition should be checked, and double checked before taking off.
  •  
    That must have been really bad
  •  
    This is why they need to be checking everything anymore. You never now what people do to planes, and i feel sorry for every body that family member's got hurt
  •  
    That is so sad u just never know what is going to happen. You jut have to be careful and be safe and look out for things.
  •  
    this is not so much someone elses fault as it was mechanic failure. planes are safe but things do happen
  •  
    Airports should take more time to check their planes to make sure there is nothing wrong with them.
  •  
    A plain should be check more carefully before it takes off.

Are We Over-Testing Our Students? - Santa Cruz, CA Patch - 0 views

  • Every single reporting period, I have to remind parents that this assessment is just a snapshot of their child: one hour, one day.
  • Our students are children, for goodness sakes. It troubles me that my students know the acronyms, such as STAR, CAT and MARS, for certain tests and assessments, yet they can’t remember their times-tables or the order of the planets.
  • As adults, we make silly mistakes like this all the time—yet, we’re expecting second- and third-graders to do this four times a year to show us how they’re  progressing in a certain subject.

  • Perhaps, reducing the amount of testing and data collection would reduce the panic for everyone—and these children can stop worrying.

    Reminder from a teacher that a test is a simple snapshot of what a child may be able to do.
