DestiNation ImagiNation CEO: Cutting Funding to the Arts Threatens the Learning Process

Posted on by

Philadelphia, PA (PRWEB) February 26, 2012

State legislatures are cutting school budgets to the bare bone, and their favorite target these days is arts funding. At the same time, observes Chuck Cadle, M.Ed. and CEO of Destination ImagiNation, it has been announced that the new Common Core Standards are placing emphasis on English, language arts and math.

The result of these cuts? “They are hacking off some very valuable arts programs without concern for the effects on the future of our youth and our culture,” contends Cadle. “Most notably, the budget-cutting axe is falling on arts and arts funding in favor of preserving programs focused on science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). We need both.”

In point of fact, Cadle says, research shows the mental rigor demanded of participants in the arts actually can enhance the STEM learning experience. “We are visual beings. We see through our eyes, and that is a key component of how we learn and process information,” says Cadle, who leads the world’s largest team-baseed creative problem solving and critical thinking challenge program for people of all ages. “Scientists and teachers know the arts enhance brain development. Immersion in aesthetic expression has been shown to yield gains in math, reading, cognitive ability, critical thinking and verbal skills. Arts education can also improve motivation, concentration, confidence and teamwork.”

One of the central components of the open-ended challenges students face at Destination ImagiNation (http://www.idodi.org) is to express their solutions through theatrical drama and verbal presentations, often accompanied by music, mime, poetry or original song. As fundamental elements of their answers to the challenges with which they are presented, students are also required to design and construct imaginative props, faux machines and equipment (all of which actually work), artistic signage and stage furnishings, inventive apparatuses and other physical evidence supporting their creative solutions. They must think and create, which is one of the definitions of art. Art begins with a thought, as does every great thing ever accomplished by mankind.

In these initiatives, in which Destination ImagiNation participants are essentially practicing on life, STEM and the arts are thoroughly entwined and interdependent. Thus, the current rush to cut school budgets funding the arts not only threatens the soul of a generation, but will most certainly have adverse effects on STEM learning, as well, because of the interrelationship of the two.

“During the election season, we’ve heard the term ‘class warfare’ bandied about by various candidates criticizing other candidates,” Cadle notes. “Would arts funding cuts play into that melee? Perhaps. The children of affluent parents generally get exposed to the arts whether or not public schools provide them. Denying arts education to public school students would disallow youth from disadvantaged socio-economic backgrounds equalization by denying them the enrichment experiences the arts provide.”

“If the foregoing powerful lines of reasoning are lost on lawmakers, then perhaps a more straightforward argument will work: Money. Our economy depends on art,” says Cadle.

Consider these statistics:

Total national economic impact attributed to art and art associated activities: $ 1.662 billion


????5.7 million full time equivalent jobs

????$ 104.2 billion in household income

????$ 7.9 billion in local government tax revenues

????$ 9.1 billion in state government tax revenues

????$ 12.6 billion in federal income tax revenues

????(Source: Arts & Economic Prosperity III: The economic impact of nonprofit arts and culture organizations and their audiences).

In terms of developing the nation’s next generation of leaders, it has been said that leadership is a process enacted theatrically in art, in the act of staging, scripting, directing and performing. Think about that. Isn’t that what a leader does to achieve the organization’s objectives?

The nation is trying ineffectively to deal effectively with an epidemic of harassment, intimidation, and bullying, which can have lifelong negative effects on the bully and the victim. Schools are implementing innovative solutions to bullying problems, many of which are rooted in helping youth to understand each other by working together on team initiatives and projects. Let me go out on a limb here and suggest that band, chorus, drama, debate and visual and fine arts give kids an outlet to express themselves. Maybe this expressive outlet can foster mutual respect, understanding and appreciation of different values and thoughts — clear antidotes for bullying that are already available in schools, yet are now threatened by Common Core and budget cuts.

MedixSafe Protection From Extreme Physical Pain or Impairment of Bodily Functions and Imprisonment

Memphis, TN (PRWEB) May 17, 2012

Employee theft is a problem faced by EMS administrators, paramedics, and patients. Paramedics have direct access to powerful narcotics and some are abusing that access to feed their drug habits with chemicals like morphine and Fentanyl. In some cases, paramedics have replaced syringes of narcotics with saline or tap water, endangering patient care.

NBC News reported earlier this month in Monticello, KY U.S. District Court Judge Gregory Van Tatenhove sentenced former paramedic 49-year-old Susie Willis to two years in prison for tampering with narcotic pain medication carried on an ambulance.

According to the article, Willis admitted she broke the seal on at least two medication vials containing the intravenous narcotic fentanyl citrate for personal use. Then to avoid detection refilled the vials with saline solution and resealed the vials with crazy glue. Willis plea agreement stated that the saline solution could have caused extreme physical pain or impairment of bodily functions if administered to a patient instead of the intended fentanyl. More Case Stories.

Our narcotic control and accountability systems need to be built stronger, more secure, not because we don’t trust individuals, but because we know the fallibility of human nature. Aimin Alton, L.A. Emergency Responder Substance Abuse Task Force

Keys or PIN numbers alone are no longer enough to ensure security and accountability for emergency narcotics access. Across the country, drug diversion (theft) is having a critical impact on patient care, staff integrity, liability, and the bottom line. MedixSafe offers unique, field-tested security solutions to meet demands and keep narcotics safe.

Administrators and co-workers are also at risk. The Texas state health department suspended a Blanco paramedic’s license for 18 months after finding that she did not stop prevent diversion. Read the order and the original violation report on Evelyn Suzy Armstead.

MedixSafe manufactures high security electronically controlled narcotics cabinets. MedixSafes implementation of todays latest access control technology makes them the leader in advanced narcotic security. Offering Triple credential, biometric and TCP/IP based narcotics safes. MedixSafe units allow you to add, delete and modify users and download event history from an administrators desk.

MedixSafe was created by ESSC, a Memphis-based, electronic security and network cabling company with over 30 years in the security arena. Find them on the Web at http://www.medixsafe.com or video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCWyB_Rucyw.







Paralegal Student or Practitioner? Here’s How You Can Avoid Plagiarism

Posted on by

St. Paul, Minn (PRWEB) May 16, 2012

An article appearing in the March 2012 edition of the “North Carolina Law Review,” Cooper J Strickland, “The Dark Side of Unattributed Copying and the Ethical Implications of Plagiarism in the Legal Profession,” 90 N.C. L. Rev. 920 (2012), addresses the issue of plagiarism in the legal profession. While the law review article focuses mostly on the ethical issues for lawyers, it is also important for both paralegals and students pursuing a bachelor of science in paralegal to understand the definition of plagiarism, the potential consequences for plagiarism, and how to avoid plagiarism.

What is Plagiarism?

Plagiarism is defined by Blacks Law Dictionary as [t]he deliberate and knowing presentation of another persons original ideas or creative expressions as ones own.

Merriam-Websters Online Dictionary defines plagiarize as to steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as ones own; to use (anothers production) without crediting the source; to commit literary theft; to present as new and original an idea or product derived from an existing source.

Defining and identifying plagiarism can sometimes be a challenge and the situation should be looked at on a case-by-case basis. A standard definition is not possible because of context. One good online source for plagiarism is the website at http://www.plagiarism.org maintained by the plagiarism detection software company iParadigms, LLC that owns TurnitIn software. Plagiarism.org provides the following situations as potential forms of plagiarism: 1) turning in someone elses work as your own; 2) copying words or ideas from someone else without giving credit; 3) failing to put a quotation in quotation marks; 4) giving incorrect information about the source of a quotation; 5) changing words but copying the sentence structure of a source without giving credit; and 6) copying so many words or ideas from a source that it makes up the majority of your work, whether you give credit or not.

Even if you cite the source, copying so many words or ideas from a source that it makes up the majority of your work or a large percentage of the work may constitute plagiarism. It is important to have original analysis in any written paper, assignment, memorandum, or brief while still citing sources.

What are the Potential Consequences for Plagiarism?

The conclusion in the “North Carolina Law Review” article states that it is possible for an attorney to commit plagiarism and to be punished for it as an ethical violation. A lawyer can face discipline from the state bar or the state supreme court for plagiarism. The court may also not award attorneys fees if the work is not original.

Along with the potential consequences for an ethical violation for lawyers, there are also potential copyright issues with plagiarism and using legal briefs. In February 2012, two lawyers, Edward White and Kenneth Elan, filed a class action suit against the parent companies of Westlaw and LexisNexis for using briefs in the brief banks sold by their respective companies without permission. The case name is White et al. vs. West Publishing Corp. et al., U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York, No. 12-1340.

Students who plagiarize material can face serious consequences. Some of the potential repercussions for plagiarizing material in a paper or written assignment include failure of the assignment, failure of the course, and possible expulsion from the college or university. Be sure to check the syllabus and university catalog for more information on academic honesty.

Two Ways You Can Avoid Plagiarism

Knowing that plagiarism can result in serious consequences, how can you avoid plagiarism? Here are two ways to avoid it:

???????? 1.????Give credit where credit is due: The top way to avoid plagiarism is to properly give credit where credit is due. Citing sources is critical. Learn and use the proper citation formats such as APA, MLA, Bluebook, or Chicago style. Even if the citation format is not perfect, an attempt to cite a source is much better than not citing the source at all. Most people dont learn how to cite sources overnight and being able to properly cite sources is a good skill you can acquire and develop through time, practice and experience.

???????? 2.????Seek a second opinion: If a paralegal student is unsure if something is considered plagiarism, the student should contact the instructor for clarification. Send a draft of the assignment to your instructor via email and ask for an opinion and review. Just make sure to provide sufficient time for the instructor to review the draft and dont wait until the last minute before the assignment deadline. If a working paralegal has questions whether a written work is plagiarized, consider contacting the supervising attorney for clarification.

Citing sources, especially authoritative sources, adds credibility and legitimacy to any analysis, especially in the law. In the legal field, legal precedent is critical so it is important to cite those relevant authorities. Many practicing lawyers will often look to recent law review articles or judicial opinions on how to properly cite authorities. When in doubt, it is always better to be on the side of caution and cite the source.
