Cutting for Sign
The Mexican Border with the United States on both sides, but more particularly on the American side, is covered with trash. (more HERE from Lagniappe's Lair) The trash and human detritus is left behind by millions of illegal aliens who cross the border illegally every year. You shouldn't be surprised to find the trash because they treat our country in very much the same way as they treated the various countries that they are leaving. Most are in search of jobs, some are hauling drugs, some are freeloaders in line for the many financial rewards available (particularly in California)... more »

Recent Mysterious Military Helicopter Flights Over Kremlin Are Explained
© Sputnik / Maksim Blinov *Sputnik: **Reason for Mysterious Military Helicopter Flights Over Kremlin Revealed* As Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov explained, the Kremlin is the residence of the head of state and a high security site, so it’s perfectly normal for men responsible for the president’s safety to conduct drills there.

Confidence in Government on National Security Matters: What Have We Learned So Far?
Last year, we began a polling project intended to serve as a running gauge of the public’s confidence in a variety of institutions on national security matters. We had observed that traditional public polling had only asked about national security when it appeared as a topic in the public discourse, and thus was of higher salience. But this was biasing. People are more worried about terrorism right after a major attack, for example. What about in times when national security topics are not in the news? How elastic is people’s confidence in institutions on national security matters?... more »
The Seven Most Powerful Words In Education
What can I do to help you? These words are hugely powerful and tragically underused at every level of the education world. In the classroom, teachers have been taught since the dawn of time that they should be clear about their expectations. This is excellent practice; let the student know exactly what you want from her. If she has trouble meeting that expectation, be certain that you are explaining the expectation clearly. And then ask the student, "What can I do to help you?" It may well be that the student won't be able to tell you. That's okay. Just asking the question signals ... more »
