Purpose of the Learning Garden
The John Muir Learning Garden is designed to give San Francisco Schools students a change to take learning further outside of the classroom. The Garden builds on the fundamental curriculum concerns of the elementary school and provides an opportunity for students to gain real life experience that complements their academic studies. San Francisco school students are able to integrate classroom literacy, mathematics, science, history, and language arts instruction through their participation in activities in the Learning Garden.
The Learning Garden reaches out to the community in providing outreach services for parents, neighbors, and interested volunteers. Mentor gardeners work with teachers and students to design educational opportunities. One of the interesting projects going on now is the sustainable composting program that takes organic waste from San Francisco school lunches and uses it for fertilizing garden projects instead of filling landfills. This is just one of many projects that combine garden training with practical real world environmental concerns. The events organized in the park help students and the community learn about how to protect the local environment while studying nature in an urban setting.
Partners of the Learning Garden
The Learning Garden would not be possible without the support in terms of time and money from a variety of neighborhood partners. San Francisco area businesses, organizations, and volunteer groups have all played a role in establishing the Learning Garden. Located in Daniel E. Koshland Park, the Learning Garden has benefited from the dedication of two part-time garden mentors provided by the Hayes Valley Neighborhoods Parks Group. These two women, Rebecca and Aubrey, have become part of the local community as they organize activities that raise local awareness about the environment.
Further assistance has come from the San Francisco League of Urban Gardeners, the Center for Ecoliteracy, the Recreation and Park Department, the Buddhist Peace Fellowship, and the San Francisco Zen Center. All of these organizations have devoted time and money to helping the John Muir Learning Garden become an environmental center for the San Francisco community, especially the children that attend John Muir Elementary School. In particular, the John Muir Learning Garden is indebted to the Buddhist Peace Fellowship, which donated the initial funds to start the Learning Garden and remains an active community partner with John Muir Elementary School.
A Look at John Muir Elementary School
John Muir Elementary School has a unique place within the San Francisco Public School System. Located in the Western Addition of San Francisco, it operates as a professional development school where education students from the San Francisco State University’s Muir Alternative Teaching Program are able to hone their skills in a real world environment, learning how to specially adapt course for the urban classroom.
John Muir students come from a rich cultural background and are supported within the school community with language and literacy programs beginning in infancy. The programs also extend to the parents and families of John Muir Elementary School students. Within the San Francisco school district, John Muir Elementary School acts as a BASRC (Bay Area School Reform Collaborative) leadership school with a clear focus on literacy for the whole community.

The US News & World Report and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Report on Research Funding conduct nursing school rankings to measure the status of quality of different nursing schools nationwide. Various factors affect how nursing school rankings are determined but it all serves the purpose of providing more information to anyone in search of a nursing school.
As you evaluate different leaning institutions for your nursing education, nursing school rankings should supplement your own research. First, determine which specific nursing program you wish to enter and then based on that look at nursing schools in your chosen location that offer that specific program. You can use nursing school rankings to find out the areas of strength of a particular school and if it matches your interest and needs.
In general, organizations determine nursing school rankings by gathering data through surveys that are prepared by professors and other scholars. Survey respondents can be present or past students or administrators and other high-ranking staff members of the nursing school. The survey contains both objective and subjective questions, and a complex method is used to process the answers. The statistics of the school are also one of the factors used to determine nursing school rankings.
For instance, the US News & World Report evaluates NLNAC (National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission) accredited nursing schools and their programs by surveying deans and other faculty staff members of each nursing school. The respondents will review and grade other schools based on a set of criteria. Some of the factors that affect nurse school rankings are student-to-faculty ratios, rate of job placement after graduation and etcetera.
Nursing school rankings from the National Institutes of Health focus on the overall amount of grant funding received by the research programs of individual nursing schools.
Research institutions and those who would like to pursue research work consider NIH rankings to be strong indicators of outstanding research programs.
Nursing school rankings are just one tool to help you evaluate a nursing school. There are so many other factors to consider when choosing a school such as the quality of student life, cost, availability of financial assistance, board passing rates, affordable housing on or near campus, among others.
Be sure to look at the complete picture when making your decision. Get to know more about a certain nursing school by looking at the school’s website, requesting for an information packet or going to the school’s information session or open house.

Whether you are moving into the dorm as a freshman, or a senior looking for a nice house close to campus, odds are you will be living with roommates. There are very few college students who live by themselves, mostly because it is too expensive. In college towns, rent for a single apartment can reach up to $750 a month. It might not seem like a lot, and maybe it isn’t if your parents are paying for it, but for the majority of students $750 a month is not reasonable. The solution to lower rent is living with roommates. In this article I will talk about the pros and cons of living with roommates, how to find roommates, and I’ll share some of my experiences along the way. This will be a two part post due to its length. Part I will discuss dorm life, while Part II will discuss life after the dorms.
Since I just graduated from college in April of 2005, I consider myself somewhat of an expert in the college living life. Not much has changed in the few months I have been on my own. I am living by myself for the first time in my life, and let me tell you, it is quite different than being in college.
Most students start off their college experience living in the dorms. When I moved in, I elected to live in an old fashion dorm. Twenty some odd rooms on the floor with one large communal bathroom. The guys section was separated from the girls section by a lounge/kitchen with one stove, one oven, a few couches, and a TV. Not quite the same as living at home with your own bedroom and bathroom. Most dorms (at least the old fashion ones) do not have single rooms. Everyone has a roommate, and sometimes there are triples in one room. Most schools give you the option to choose your roommate or have one randomly assigned to you. My freshman year, I chose to live with a friend. Make sure you are good friends with this person or else you may end of wanting to kill each other. I have so many friends that wound up hating their roommates. They were friends on the outside, but in the room it was hell.
I was lucky for the first semester of college. I got along with my roommate for the most part. We led different lives, which was a good thing. I was on the meal plan and he wasn’t. We took different classes at different times and hung out with different people too. In my opinion this is how it has to be if you choose to live with a friend. You can’t be too close or else your friendship will crumble. (Please note that the dorms I am talking about are the ones that are about 12×12 with two twin beds and two desks and enough room to stand up. The new age dorms where people have their own rooms and bathrooms are totally different.) My friend who I roomed with ended up transferring to a new school after our first semester for various reasons. I thought I had it made in the shade. Would the school not know? Would I get the room to myself? The answer was no.
Enter Kraut (my new roommate from Germany). He was American, but grew up in Germany on a military base. This was one of the best and worst experiences of college. Living with a complete stranger who is the complete opposite of you. This is every incoming freshman’s worst nightmare. Andrew (who I referred to as Kraut… please don’t take offense to this. It was just a friendly joke between us) moved in with me because he was voted out of a triple dorm room by his previous roommates. Wow. After living with him for a semester, I know why they voted him out.
First off, he was in the ROTC. I have nothing against being a proud American and wanting to serve in the military, but when you have to wake up at 4:00 AM every morning to go run with that squadron, that’s when I start to lose it. His alarm would go off at 3:45 AM everyday and he would snooze for about 30 minutes. He never went to class, so he was there to bug me on all my time off. He played Counter-Strike (which I’m sure all you guys know what it is. Counter-Strike is a terrorist/counter terrorist video game). He played it all through the night with the sound up. You would think me dorm room was a war zone. I tried to take him out with me, or eat lunch with him at the cafeteria, but I just couldn’t take it. I learned a lot from Kraut and will never forget him. My most memorable moment is when I turned the volume all the way up on my PC and blasted the Salute Your Shorts theme song right in his ear while he was sleeping. I captured it all on video. He flicked me off and went to bed. I haven’t seen Kraut since I moved out of the dorm.
Some Pros and Cons of living in the dorms (once again, I am talking about the old fashioned dorms, not the apartment style ones).
Pro – Right on campus. You can wake up 5 minutes before class and walk there in your boxer shorts.
Pro – Right on campus. Food is close by (especially if you are on a meal plan).
Pro – Social life. You meet a lot of new people living in the dorms. Some become friends for life. Dorms often have mini-parties and social events where everyone hangs out.
Pro – It’s new. College is about experiencing new things. Dorm life is one of them.
Pro – It’s cheap. Not nearly as expensive as renting an apartment.
Pro – It’s very easy to find pick up games for sports.
Pro – There is an Ethernet computer network. High speed internet access and everyone is connected. Awesome for playing video games. (When I was a freshman things like Napster were brand new. People were downloading music left and right on the high speed network and sharing music like you’ve never seen. And as far as we knew, it was all legal).
Con – No privacy. People will just randomly walk in your room. Keep it locked.
Con – Old and dirty dorms are no fun. I got sick once a month living in there. I still have breathing problems.
Con – Dorms are very small. You won’t be able to fit everything you have in your closet.
Con – Having annoying roommates that you can do nothing about.
Con - Internet firewalls. Some dorms are real strict now about what you can and can not do on the school’s internet. Sorry guys, no downloading music here.
Con – Cooking food can be quite a problem. You have no fridge or oven in your room.
Con – Bugs and rats. Depending on how old your dorm is (mine was built in the 40s I think) you might find rodents running around. We had a rat problem one week. I saw one run right across the floor in my room and then he disappeared into the wall.
Well that is all I have for today. Come back tomorrow (or Monday) for Part II of College Roommates. If you have any questions, email me at collegesos@yahoo.com

Professional athletes recognize the importance of being at their best. They realize that their individual performance has a direct impact on their team and organization. If they are at their finest or playing their ‘A’ Game, competitors and observers will notice. It is at these times that they seem unstoppable. Besides athletics, this peak-performing zone can too be experienced in other areas of life; in business, in relationships, in leadership, and especially in the field of academics.
All student leaders desire to be at the top; however, their work habits and level of discipline do not always support their scholastic desires. What is it that causes one student to perform poorly, and another to play his or her ‘A’ Game all year long? Today It is my goal to show you how “CRAMMING” can lead you to play your ‘A’ Game.
Now you are probably asking yourself, “Wow, can I really cram my way to a 4.0?” “I thought cramming was unhealthy, and unsuccessful?” Each of your thoughts is valid, however, I want to bring more value to your life as a student and leader, by propelling you to a higher level of thinking.
Before we investigate this aspect of cramming, we know that students all across America get far too little sleep. Classes, social activities, leadership roles, and part-time or sometimes full-time jobs get more attention than that of sleep. As the end of the semester or exams approach, sleep deprivation becomes more apparent. This now places students in a “Do or Die situation. Failing the exams could mean more years in college, or even flunking out – thus the need for cramming.
There are a few good reasons to cram for exams. The first one is that it doesn’t work, and the second reason is that it doesn’t work at the last minute. However, if cramming is used at the proper time it can bring forth great results. Let me clarify this with an example from my college life.
As a Chemistry major at Norfolk State University, during my freshman year, I made some immature academic decisions. I was a P.P. – a Professional Procrastinator. I would wait to the last minute to do everything! I waited to the last minute to study notes, prepare for tests, and work on homework and reports. I procrastinated so much that I would go to the cafeteria for dinner right before closing. This last minute lifestyle forced me to have many “cram sessions” and to pull “all-nighters”.
As a new college student on an academic scholarship I realized in order to maintain my scholarship and graduate with honors my (poor) study habits and (lack) of time management was going to have to change. This became further apparent when I would take my class exams with headaches and aching body pains. During most tests I felt sluggish and crappy. I even felt as if I had a serious hangover, and I actually did - a hangover from the previous night of cramming, drinking bottles of root beer, eating candy bars and greasy pizza all for the sake of trying to stay awake to focus..
Studies and reports have shown that “cramming” or “last-minute cramming” (as I have termed) will cause the below to take place. If you are a consistent crammer, you can testify to the following effects.
• Your anxiety level will go up tremendously
• You will lose sleep and eat poorly because of this
• You will get sick more easily because of this
• You will miss the exam because of this
• You will take the more difficult essay make-up exam because of this
• You will fail the exam
• Seriously, at a minimum you will do worse on the exam than you would have otherwise. Guaranteed.
Last minute cramming does not work because of a few biological reasons. When cramming occurs, information is stored in the short-term memory side of the brain. This is where everyday information that is not really worth remembering is stored. In order to learn we have to transfer information into the long-term memory side of the brain. Here information can be retrieved far easier and over a longer period of time. Let’s further examine the difference between short term and long term memory.
All information is processed in the brain and stored in short term memory. The problem is that this information sort of overloads the brain and is not kept for very long. Can you remember what you had for breakfast two days ago, or the outfit you wore this past weekend? What about the price of your lunch on Monday? No. So what makes you think you will remember some theory from class, which you never heard of before? Yes you may remember it for a about a day or two, but since it’s not necessary to remember it all, the brain will dump it after a short period of time.
Long term memory is the type of memory used when we want to store information in a more permanent way. This is either done by making information especially memorable or by consistent daily repetition. Have you ever tried to remember the lyrics to your favorite song? How many times did you listen to that song or read the lyrics before you finally remembered it? The same should be true for your class work. Once something is transferred from short term to long term memory we say it has been learned (or at least remembered).
This is why last minute cramming is not beneficial for students. Last minute cramming fails because you are relying on short term memory. But what would happen if you crammed every single day, or simply put large amounts of information in to your memory consistently and purposely. Cramming in itself is not wrong; it’s just pointless, if not done properly.
C.R.A.M. as I have termed it can be translated into a simple four word phrase – Consistent Reiteration for Advantageous Memorization. It is imperative that you study your class work (C.R.A.M) every single day, even if it is for a few minutes. College is your current occupation and career, so see school as your 9 to 5 job, and C.R.A.M. When its time to study, work just as if it were your job. make sure you check in at a certain time and check out at a certain time. If your mid-term or semester exam is two weeks away, you should have had daily C.R.A.M. sessions throughout the semester so the information would have already been transferred.
My main purpose for addressing this issue of cramming is to impress upon you to develop daily disciplines for academic success. The thing you give your attention to the most, will be the thing that controls your mindset and memory bank.
You have what it takes to play Your “A” Game every school term. Just don’t wait until the last minute to cram, but C.R.A.M. intensely every single day with a planned regimen. Many students fail because they fail to plan. To better your grades, you must have a detailed plan of attack and mastery over your daily schedule. To avoid last minute cramming and to play your “A” Game in school, here are 12 practical things you must do when creating your daily schedule for school.
1. Schedule personal quiet time and motivational time. Use this time to encourage your self and develop a mental image of your day.
2. Allocate the times you must be in class.
3. Define the time periods in which you will study.
4. Plan for breakfast and lunch, but don’t eat for longer than 30 minutes; use the other designated half hour to prepare for your next class.
5. Set time aside for part time jobs, extracurricular activities, and other necessary events.
6. Carry a detailed appointment book or organizer, so you will always know what needs to be completed for the day and for a specified hour.
7. Communicate your study times to friends and family so that they are aware of your schedule and won’t interfere.
8. Go to your study periods as if they are an important appointment.
9. Designate a specific location outside your room to study each subject. Study location can differ based on mood, surrounding, and time of day.
10. Establish your play time. Don’t be a workaholic.
11. Study for a designated class at a designated hour, even if you don’t have a test or homework assignment. Place this daily into your schedule
12. Don’t allow planned activities to overlap; schedule activities on purpose and then do them on purpose. When it’s time to work, work. When it’s time to study, study; and when it’s time to have fun, have fun!
In closing, I want you to remember this. Only one game in life counts, and that’s your ‘A’ Game. So play it everyday!

Should we mine the moon? What if we could mine precious metals like titanium, which we know to be there? Would that make sense? The thought of such might propel capital funds into new private space enterprises, which would benefit all mankind. Titanium is in high demand yet somewhat short supply on Earth. It is not that we do not have any it is that it is hard to separate out from other metals where it is usually found.
Yet, didn’t the Indonesia Tsunami uncover huge veins of nearly pure Titanium? Well that would certainly be a good thing indeed. We need these metals for our space and aerospace programs.
On the Moon it seems that NASA is already making up concept drawings of mining operations. Additionally Brown and Root; Halliburton has all sorts of concept plans to collect and harvest titanium by mining the moon. If on the moon it is separated out properly then the procedure could help cover the costs of a moon colony and help warrant the costs of setting up mining operations and living quarters.
It makes sense to build stuff off planet until which time mankind can figure out an answer to the gravity issues making launches cost prohibitive in many regards. Maybe this could be the beginning of a whole new spaceship factory on the Moon. Consider all this in 2006.

Have you ever been curious about your future? Have you ever called a phone psychic to get some answers?
If you wonder how “psychics” work, read on. This article is for you.
Most “psychics” are plain scammers. They use cold reading to make calculated guess about the sitters. Cold reading is an interactive psychological technique which extracts information from a person through verbal and non verbal cues. More often than not, psychics utilize known psychology techniques that can apply to almost anyone. An example would be claiming the sitter is cursed and he or she could lift that curse for a fee, because most people visit a psychic when they are down and depressed, “being cursed” is a quick, convenient reason to blame. Paying the fee to lift the curse would be the quickest solution to their complicated life problems.
There seems to be several common factors in psychic readings. The psychic usually:
* Skillfully extracts information from non verbal cues such as breathing patterns, voice, dress, skin color, and body language.
* Makes statements that seem to give information when they are actually out to fish for it. E.g. Prompts feedback from sitters by saying “I see a man in uniform, why would that be?”
* Feeds back to the subject what the latter wants to hear
* Makes general “Barnum statements” such as “You are worrisome on the outside but insecure on the inside.”
The sitter of the reading is the key to a ’successful’ reading. The sitter’s willingness to connect vague ‘clues’ came up by the psychic will often decide how successful the reading is. Many sitters who try to contact their deceased loved ones are very motivated in the first place, and will take the psychic’s message as a sign that he or she has made contact with the other side. That is why psychics subtly encourage cooperation before and during the reading. Once the psychic gains the trusts of the sitter, the latter usually actively supply information and clarifications.
Although facial expressions and body languages could mean differently to people from different cultural backgrounds, many psychologists believe that certain facial and body expressions are universal to the mankind.
How to tell dominance: People who dominates have a tenancy to stand up with an erected body, speaks slowly and rarely, and look people in their eyes for an extended period of time. Because of the demonstrated link between testosterone and aggression, people with square jaws ( testosterone induced feature) are thought as more domineering and aggressive.
How to tell submissiveness: Submissive people touches themselves a lot when they are confronted with a difficult situation. This is because human have an inborn mechanism acquired very early on in life to link physical touching with comfort and safety.
Most important to keep in mind: Real, powerful psychics don’t advertise on the back of a supermarket magazine and do readings for $1.99 per minute.

You Know This Is What You Were Born To Study
This way is undoubtedly the easiest. It seems like some people are born with a passion or anthropology or architecture. Maybe they are, maybe they’re not, but by the time they are college freshmen they have a fully formed idea of what makes them passionate when they study it. If you are one these lucky people, you don’t need to read any further.
You Know This Is What You Were Born To Do For Work
You are similar to people in the previous category, but while they seem predestined to study in a certain field, you have always known that you wanted to be a sports agent, for example, or a political operative. People like you also have a pretty easy time of picking a major. What you should to do to decide on yours is to look up the biographies of people who have the jobs you would like to have and find out what they studied. If one of these people happens to be an alum of your school, you should email them and ask them how they got to be where they are.
You Met With Your Academic Adviser
If you’re not sure, the first thing you should realize is that you’re not alone. There are a bunch of people in your class who also don’t know what to major in, first of all. Secondly, none of you are alone because all of you have academic advisers. Make an appointment with your academic adviser to talk over the question of what you should major in. Your adviser can look at your high school transcript, talk to you about what you love and hate to study, and what you might like to do for work. To make this meeting even more productive, you can think about these things beforehand. As a result of your talk with your academic adviser, you should have a list of subject areas for consideration. And where, you might ask, do you go from there?
You Talked To Faculty Members
Find the subjects on the list you made with your academic adviser and email the department heads in the various departments you’ve identified. Ask that person if you could drop by and talk about what it would be like to major in that area. A department head’s job (part of it, anyway) is to administer all of the majors in the program, so that person will be able to give you a good idea about whether or not you and his or her subject are a good match.
You Heard An Exciting Rumor In The Dorm
Keep your ears open to what your peers are studying. Talk to people about what they’re taking and whether or not they like it. You might end up with a major you’d have never dreamed you’d pursue, but one that will keep you fascinated for your college career and beyond.
