So Who's Ready for 2012?"I feel that all this talk about the world ending is just an other thing to give people news to look forward to. of course our world is not in the best condition, but if the world were to end we would see drastic changes and more scientific fact…"
Keely Ward commented on Nora Geissler's blog post We’re Alive on May 22... So Who's Ready for 2012?"I personally don't think the world will end in 2012, there have been plenty of scientists that have proven it wrong. I think it is just something for people to get hyped up about. Some people are really good at scaring themselves in to thinking…"
Ashlyn Jensen commented on Nora Geissler's blog post We’re Alive on May 22... So Who's Ready for 2012?"I dont know what to think about this. I mean I really dont think the world is going to end just because the Mayans calendar ends then. I mean maybe if there was more hard core proof I would believe it, but until that happens, I think I'm pretty…"
megan majewski commented on Nora Geissler's blog post We’re Alive on May 22... So Who's Ready for 2012?"snora the world is not going to end in 2012. there has been so much crap about the world ending, and guys were all still here. so 2012 is just there to scare people into thinking were going to die, when i reality were all going to be here.…"
Megan Teschner commented on Nora Geissler's blog post We’re Alive on May 22... So Who's Ready for 2012?"i think this whole end of the world thing is stupid. its not going to end. just because someone predicts its going to end doesnt mean its going to. we lived through may 22nd so i think we'll live through december 21st."
Carly Mckay commented on Nora Geissler's blog post We’re Alive on May 22... So Who's Ready for 2012?"I really don't think any of this "end of the world stuff" is true, but I mean, how do we know for sure? It is a fact that it is going to end someday, so why not now? I think that would completely suck but i guess if it happened…"
Meghan Byrne commented on Nora Geissler's blog post We’re Alive on May 22... So Who's Ready for 2012?"I really don't believe any of this stuff. There have been so many rumors going around and so many different dates on when the world is supposed to end that its really hard to believe. I honestly think its just a coincidence."
Josh Jyawook commented on Nora Geissler's blog post We’re Alive on May 22... So Who's Ready for 2012?"I think that the whole 2012 thing is really fake. There are so many different rumors about what's supposed to happen on 12/21/12 and it's hard to know which rumor I'm supposed to believe, if any at all. It'll be interesting to…"
Michael Naselli commented on Nora Geissler's blog post We’re Alive on May 22... So Who's Ready for 2012?"yeah I don't believe that the world is going to end in 2012. Its an interesting theory but I think that the mayans just wanted to stop their calender because that had to stop it at some point right?

Halle Gitelson commented on Nora Geissler's blog post We’re Alive on May 22... So Who's Ready for 2012?"all of this hype is so stupid, we obviously lived through the other ones and i think we will do the same for 2012. its just an excuses for someone to get their 15 minutes of fame."
Patrick Witt commented on Nora Geissler's blog post We’re Alive on May 22... So Who's Ready for 2012?"I like how there hasn't been that much hype about the end of our planet up until these past few years. I also think it's a little strange how most of the dates deal with 1s and 2s (5.21.11, 10.21.11, 12.21.12); the 10 for October can be…"
Michael McWilliams commented on Nora Geissler's blog post We’re Alive on May 22... So Who's Ready for 2012?"Well my friends and I had a rapture party so I think we might have another apocalyptic party. I also think that this is getting to hyped up."
Lauren Olson commented on Nora Geissler's blog post We’re Alive on May 22... So Who's Ready for 2012?"I just can't wait till we survive 2012 and al this stuff is over. It does make you think how you would spend your last days. I have to say I would just be at home with my family."
Ben Luke commented on Nora Geissler's blog post We’re Alive on May 22... So Who's Ready for 2012?"I never believed this because its all fake. The world is not going to end because one guy said so. If you start off with nothing and convince yourself that what you have is actually important, you will start believing that nothing is important.

We’re Alive on May 22... So Who's Ready for 2012?
Through history there have been numerous theories on when the world will end including the most recent, May 21, 2011. We’ve survived to the twenty-third, so what’s to say about this over the top 2012 business? Why does that particular day stand out from all the others, as the last day on earth? I figured I should try to find out.
Astrologically, December 21st is the end-date of a 5,125-year-long cycle in the Mesoamerican calendar.…

ACT Prep, I’m Reaching the Breaking Point!
While teachers feel the need to overload students with ACT preparation packets and pre-tests, I wonder, what’s the point? The point of ACT is to test student’s ability to manage time, and think quickly efficiently and on task. So what’s the point of filling out the endless homework packets? I know…

“The Termination of Limewire Solves Music Theft Problem.” psych.
After a four-year battle with the music industry, LimeWire, one of the worlds most popular “peer-to-peer file sharing” sites has been shut down. A federal court issued a permanent removal of LimeWire, saying that it intentionally caused a “massive scale of infringement” by permitting people to share thousands of copyrighted songs, videos, etc by its 50 million monthly users.
In May, LimeWire was officially found liable for widespread copyright infringement. The level of damages faced… Continue

School's Just Started and I Can Already See Heads Bobbing In Class. We Need Some Extra Sleep, Guys.
Through science we have seen how sleep is just as important to human well-being as air, water, and food. So how is it reasonable to have students up at the crack of dawn, on their way to school, where they won’t absorb the information they’re picking up? It simply isn’t. Teenagers need an average of 9 ¼ hours of sleep every night. The probability of seeing high school students asleep at eight-forty five every night is just about none. It would… Continue

- Nora. I got your paper. Would you also please bring your rough draft, or at least the cover sheet? Thanks. I'm now going to delete that other comment so others don't have access to your research paper.

What's up fellow ningers?! :D Happy New Year! Somehow I ended up on the Ning this morning. Don't know if Mr.Anderson and Mr.McCusker remember our American Studies class from 09-10. Great times. It doesn't seem like this Ning has continued on over the years. What happened?See More
Adam Babcock left a comment for Bridget Babcock"There are many options out there, but to standardize is to tell a lot of teachers to learn something new or unfamiliar... it's a tricky subject. That's why I'd love to start my own school, powered by Edmodo, Ning, etc :)"

Justyna Chlopecka posted a blog post9/11 Skylines and Turnstiles
I'm not usually someone who writes a lot , not publicly anyway but I do love to express my self through art, usually visual art but most of the time the art I make is influenced by something . In this case it's a song a written by one of my favorite musicians as a response to the feeling of horror and disbelief as he watched the Twin Towers in New York go from icons to ruins on 9/11/01. The song is sad,…See More
