No Child Left Behind Testing
by skeeter1 inaround the us, 6th graders (and alot of other grades) are preparing for this spring's standardized testing.
when "we" grew up, the standardized tests were straigh forward math problems.
the standardized math test is now only 16 questions long, but they are all long, drawn out word problems.

If it makes you feel any better Skeeter, I think the No Child Left Behind crap is just that. Crap. It's about making a ton of cash on testing, and passing the buck on actually trying to help our students succeed.

Like what? The Bible?
I'm pretty sure I stipulated fun fiction.

I just downloaded an HP Lovecraft collection to my Kindle.
Hey Kudra, have you ever read Wilkie Collins? I absolutely loved "The Woman in White". It has really stuck with me.

I'm currently reading "A Conspiracy of Paper" by David Liss. It's ok, but not nearly as good as "The Whiskey Rebels" which I just finished.

Blood Transfusion Increases Mortality in Heart Attacks
by Earnest ini understand that the objection to blood transfusions by jehovah's witnesses is purely a scriptural one.
whether or not there are medical benefits to avoiding blood transfusions is, or should be, irrelevant.
however, for those who are not convinced by jw understanding of the scriptures in this regard, and those who don't believe either in the bible and/or in god, the fact that blood transfusion is associated with increased mortality in heart attacks may be of interest.. a systematic search of studies published between january 1, 1966, and march 31, 2012, was conducted using medline, embase, cinahl, scopus, web of science, and cochrane central register of controlled trials databases.

On the other hand, I also think that the stance Jehovah's Witnesses take on blood has influenced many in the medical profession to consider whether blood is the panacea it was viewed to be and this article contributes to a more balanced view of its efficacy.
