Some racial groups are not scoring as well as others in academic testing. Some demographics have a higher number of behavior issues. How do we fix this? Should we "dumb-down" the standards and rules to close the achievement gap? Because that is what I'm seeing from our education system right now. Don't tell me some people can't live up to the standards. That is simply not true and another backhanded form of discrimination. If you work hard and obey the rules, good things should happen. My wife is from a family of immigrants and she was born across the world from where she lives now. Her family were refugees when she arrived in the USA. She now has her Master's degree in Education and teaches Art. When I met her she was teaching jr. high. The artwork the students created was spectacular. When the art program was cut due to funding, she left that district for a new one with a new emerging art program for elementary age kids. I expected the artwork would be less....

Morning Song by the Avett Brothers

There has been a lot of talk about climate change recently—and rightly so. A young lady from Sweden by the name of Greta Thunberg , has brought the fight to the world leaders. She is quite right, that we need to be careful of what we do to the environment. I remember when I was a child, there were no hawks or eagles around my local area—because of the widespread use of DDT . Now after being banned in 1972, I see hawks daily and eagles weekly. But there are still climate change doubters . Even if the science shows the impact, some will always deny it. Part of this is due to how the World Economy plays into the politics. This is often frustrating for the activists; who usually don't want to think about this part of the issue—because they believe their point-of-view is of a higher importance. Perhaps it is, but when I visited the the climate protest at the Minnesota State Capitol , the first few speakers were more focused on racial inequality than they were on climate change. I was...

The Avett Brothers and Trampled by Turtles was a great concert!

It was great to stop by the Climate Change Protest at the Capitol today! But I couldn't stay very long. I had to leave the protest in the capable hands of the people who don't work. The signs were great! In fact I haven't seen that many cardboard signs since that panhandler convention a few years back. But just the same, I'm glad that somebody is taking notice of the damage being done to the environment. https://climate.nasa.gov/effects/

I'm trying to see if I can get a patch pushed out to all of our computers so that when you turn them on, instead of the little musical startup sound, it shouts, "The dingo ate your baby!" .

When he woke up in the morning and checked the news, there had only been one shooting overnight that was hardly anything! Yet, after all of the shootings every day and every night, the neighbors were getting upset. But why now? There had been only one shooting!!! I mean, that is hardly anything right? Now if there had been 147,496 shootings then there might be something to get upset about!!! It was all a moot point anyway as long as conservatives wanted more and more guns; and the liberals were afraid to place blame on anyone shooting whose skin was a darker complexion, the problem would continue on and on anyway so why get upset? I mean really! How are people supposed to settle their differences? By talking? Come on let's be realistic! Shouldn't we just blame the police, bad schools, an unfair world? Certainly that is much safer politically and socially! Oh well, he couldn't fix the world and there had only been one shooting overnight. That was nothing maybe even cause for...

In the environment I'm familiar with, Sophos tracks all browsers relentlessly except for Chrome. It is very lenient with Chrome, but tracks where the user goes from all other browsers and then assigns a label, often rather recklessly to the sites that it deems unauthorized or problematic. I'm not sure if it was set up this way, or if it comes this way out of the box.

After seeing Sophos for three months I can tell you that in my opinion it fails. There are false positives, and it sits in the background and prevents things from working even by an administrator. I cannot recommend this antivirus software. Perhaps worst of all, is that it is not upfront about messing with your programs. It sits in the background and behaves like malware.

Trump Nails Hurricane Forecast UnAssociated Press September 6, 2019 President and inventor of "Fake Science," Donald Trump , was super accurate with his forecast of Hurricane Dorian this week! His cool map clearly shows that Dorian slammed into North Korea, wiping it off of the face of the Earth. North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un was asked about what it is like being killed by a superstorm. "No! I alive," he shouted at reporters. "You dead! Me still alive!" "No! Me still alive!"

Minnehaha Creek to be Renamed to Schitt Creek UnAssociated Press August 22, 2019 The Department of Renaming Things has decided to rename Minnehaha Creek because the name is offensive to three people from Outer Slobovia. Further research indicates that Minnehaha Creek was discovered by the Schitt family over 12,000 years ago—before the Paleoindians migrated across the Bering Land Bridge . Therefore Minnehaha Creek will be renamed Schitt Creek , in honor of Jedidiah Schitt and all of the other Schitts; sometime next week. In addition, all of the surrounding streets that are currently named after Minnehaha (such as Minnehaha Pkwy), will be named "Schitt" as well. All of the signs below and all of the signs that are located up Schitt Creek will be changed.

Is it a real concern, or is it just my conservative side... because I wonder when the neighbor who is a school psychologist decides he's going to change from being a man into a woman, is he still a good choice to be counseling our children? I just have to wonder if the person who is counseling the children can't figure out their own life, can they really be helpful to people who are starting out?

What does that say about our society if a guy can't have a colonoscopy without the people where he works complaining that he isn't fixing their stuff fast enough?
