Chad Cain: Teaching In The Twilight Zone My name is Chad Cain and I teach US History discussion about topics such as Constitutionalrights, current events, and the 1999at the height of the y2k scare http://www.rodserling.com/ccain2004.htm
Extractions: by Chad Cain Greetings! My name is Chad Cain and I teach U.S. History and Government in Evansville, Indiana. I have been using the Twilight Zone in my classes for two years (the length of my teaching career) and I have found it to be very useful in several ways. I find that using Rod Serling's work in my classroom is very satisfying because of my students' reactions to the stories and the knowledge that his legacy is being furthered as another generation falls in love with The Twilight Zone. Many of the episodes also happen to be historically instructive, directly and indirectly. It goes without saying that these experiences have been positive and have led me to want to spread the word to other educators about the possibilities of using Rod's work in the classroom. First, I must address the concern of many teachers in today's world: state and federal standards. I would ease those concerns by simply stating that the kids in the classrooms of America today have been influenced by television more than any other generation. I find that most of my history students know more about World War II than any other topic in American history. Why? Because there is an entire genre of movies on the subject. These students also have the History Channel, which some of my colleagues have dubbed the World War II channel, because of its heavy emphasis on that topic.

Extractions: YOUTH EDUCATION PROGRAM (San Francisco, CA, April 14, 2000) The final results of a special project for The Presidents Council on Year 2000 Conversion have been announced by Use The News President Dr. Betty L. Sullivan. The Y2K Youth Education Program was developed by Use The News, Inc. in partnership with the Presidents Council, the Newspaper Association of America (NAA) and the National Newspaper Association (NNA). This Newspaper in Education (NIE) project provided timely and accurate information about Y2K to young people and their families. The success and impact of this joint program is of enormous significance to the newspaper industry in the United States and around the world, Dr. Sullivan said. Never before has our national government recognized that it could mobilize an education campaign to address an issue of great public concern through Newspaper in Education programs. Use The News worked closely with White House Special Advisor John A. Koskinen and his staff to develop materials that would address the concerns of the general public and young people in particular about the Y2K conversion.
Hope For The New Millennium What problems will y2k produce? is more probable than ever because Jesus, speakingof current events such as house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of http://sxws.com/LIONJUDH/articles/article-05.html
Extractions: Hope for the New Millennium by Gary Fisher Wow! The new millennium, a term we have heard so many times now, has finally arrived. The last year of this century, 1999, has been a year that will be remembered for many troubles! Not only has there been so many natural disasters, but there is a moral rot that has set in all over the world, but especially in the west, that has our society crumbling at its very foundation. As we start into the new millennium, the hope of Jesus' return is more probable than ever because Jesus, speaking of current events such as the ones we face today said, "But when these things begin to take place, straighten up and lift up your heads, because, your redemption is drawing near" (Luke 21:28 (NAS). So, why is the return of Jesus such a great hope? Answer: The Bible promises that when Jesus returns to this earth, things on earth will greatly improve! Let's examine some of these great promises. Following Revelation 19 which describes the glorious return of Jesus Christ, Chapter 20 declares that Satan will be bound for 1,000 years. Can you imagine a world no longer influenced by Satan, a world that is no longer influenced by his dark, evil ways? One immediate blessing the world will realize with Satan bound is there will be no more war.

Extractions: Updated 8/23/2000, new stuff at top , now I've often thought of doing some sort of regular 'roundup of the news' or the like, but my schedule is such that I'd never be able to keep it up. On the other hand, I hate for there to be anything happening in the world I don't chip in my hopelessly devalued two cents on. So in the spirit of compromise (Definition:Taking a barrel of fine wine, a barrel of sewage, mixing them together, and calling it even) I decided to toss up this, basically a scratch page where I can spew forth random commentary on any issues of the day/week/month, without going through all the work of composing an actual essay. I'm a pathetically lazy creature, you must understand. So then...without further ado (or a don't....yeah, I stole that from the Muppets, but dead men file no claims and I stole that from Bob Kanefsky, who isn't dead...oh, bother. (But AA Milne is dead, so I can get away with that one.)) here's my take on the burning, lukewarm, and thorougly extinguished issues of the day. (And the past couple of weeks, actually, as there's been a few microrants I've been wanting to get out for a while.) Too many essays, not enough rants. Months go by while this page languishes. Sigh. Shows I'll never be a columnist, that's for sure. But anyway...on to the rants!

The National Research Council Study Of Y2K system; and to learn how current management structures endto-end testing mean thaty2k events will occur y2k Understanding the disruptions from y2k can teach http://www.gwu.edu/~y2k/categories/threats_opp.htm
Extractions: Y2K offers an extraordinary opportunity to learn from a world-wide, predictable disruption; to study before and after the effects of massive local adjustments to a highly interdependent yet not fully integrated complex system; and to learn how current management structures and practices could be improved to prevent and cope with systemic vulnerabilities that reside not only within organizations, sectors, and geographical boundaries, but also across them. Hundreds of billions of dollars are being spent on Y2K to minimize disruption and harm; hundreds of billions more are anticipated to determine who is to blame and who deserves compensation. Yet almost no resources have been marshaled to determine what happened, why, and what we can learn from this unique event. This final phase will certainly occur, but if we do not start immediately, the chance to gather essential qualitative and quantitative data will be gone forever and we will lose an historic research opportunity.

Extractions: Galileo Project Gains Momentum Throughout the 1999-2000 academic year the Louise B. and Edmund J. Kahn Liberal Arts Institute will present a richly varied series of events inspired by the world, work and legacy of Galileo Galilei. The events will include symposia, guest lectures, stargazing sessions, a concert of period music and an exhibition of Galileo-related books and other artifacts, as well as performances of a new music-theater work on Galileo and his contemporaries Johannes Kepler and Tycho Brahe. All evidence suggests that these events will be as memorable as they are ambitious, and more may be offered, including some in Florence, Italy, in conjunction with Smith's Junior Year Abroad Program there. The series, the Kahn Institute's second project, is collectively titled Star Messenger: Galileo at the Millennium. According to Marjorie Senechal, Louise Wolff Kahn Professor of Mathematics and the institute's director, the project is being designed to advance all of the institute's key objectives: "to forge innovative links among departments, programs and divisions; encourage intensive collaborative research among junior faculty, senior faculty, students, visitors and alumnae; and enhance the intellectual life of the college and the larger community through symposia, performances, exhibitions and workshops." Star Messenger will far transcend the limits (and limited appeal) of the purely scientific, says one of its two chief organizers.
Extractions: You must take detailed, organized, and complete notes while handling any everyone away from the keyboard until the incident handling team arrives on site. The bottom line is that step by step notes and observations (with timestamps) are crucial to clear communication and event recall, both during the incident and many months later. 3. Notify the right people and get help It is important that you immediately notify the right people and ask for help. Inform people with a "need to know" about the incident. You should probably alert your boss, your site’s information security officer, and even the network and system operators. Sometimes even the most seasoned handlers get in over their heads when they try to do it themselves. The well-meaning handler often becomes part of the incident itself. Make sure that this doesn’t happen to you. Request that a coworker be assigned to help coordinate the process and take notes. 4. Enforce a "need to know" policy
