    • They were given little to no instruction on how to create survey questions, so that is part of the issue I'm sure. However, the one thing the teacher was very clear on was that questions were NOT to be open ended. They were to provide only limited response possibilities, so that is the reason behind the 1-10 rating. Remember - he's a 17 year old dealing with a topic that he has probably never thought about in his life before this past March when the teacher laid it on them. :) (NT) -- Lady_Jane, Thu, May 17 2012, 17:41:44

  1770: Fourteen-year-old Marie Antoinette married the future King Louis VI of France who was 15.

  • Proud Momma here! My DS Sean came in 3rd in the Frosh/Soph 3200 Championsips last night and he PR'd (10:27)!! He also quailified for the 1600 championship on Saturday!! Yeah!! (NT) -- LisaW, Thu, May 10 2012, 6:46:21
    • I am very thrilled for you and him, but you have to tell me what he did. (NT) -- beccabee, Thu, May 10 2012, 6:58:57
      • 'becca, this is a track (running) event. Since my DS started running this year, I'm getting familiar with all these terms! It's all meters now, not like I remember it. 1600 meters roughly compares to the mile run, so 3200 is about 2 miles. A PR (personal record) of 2 miles in 10 minutes 27 seconds is way cool! Congrats to Sean!! My DS is competing in regionals tonight, he's running 300 meter hurdles (it's about 3/4 the way around the track circle) and pole vaulting. His PR for pole vault is 7 feet 6 inches, I am hoping he clears 8 feet tonight. It won't get him to the state competition but he will be thrilled, and so will I! (NT) -- MaryC in KY, Thu, May 10 2012, 8:23:45
        • Thank you! (NT) -- beccabee, Thu, May 10 2012, 10:00:26
        • Thanks Mary for explaining, I do forget that these are terms I had to learn too. Now I act like everyone knows what I'm talking about. :) Good Luck to your DS!! The winning pole vault height last night was 8 ft for the Frosh/Soph. Awesome that he is running the hurdles, I am always seriously impressed but them. :) (NT) -- LisaW, Thu, May 10 2012, 11:26:35

  Today is
  
  Lady Jay Day. Thank you very much! Hip Hip Hooray for Lady Jay. Oooo that rhymes. Cool!
  No Socks Day. Tom and Ruth Roy of Lebanon, Pennsylvania, urge everyone to conserve laundry energy by not wearing socks.
  World Red Cross Day and World Red Crescent Day.
  Childhood Depression Awareness Day,
  National Teacher Day.
  V-E Day, marking Germany's surrender in World War II. It's also Remembrance Day, a time to honor the memories of those who died in World War II, sponsored by the UN.
  On This Day in 1886 at Jacob's Pharmacy in Atlanta, John Pemberton made the first batch of a new health tonic flavored with coca leaves. The mixture flopped as a tonic, but did pretty well as a soft drink called Coca-Cola.
