Just this week, Florida lifted all remaining COVID restrictions, and Governors of Democrat states like New York and California have established target dates for the lifting of capacity limits and other COVID restrictions. Other deep-blue states like Connecticut lifted capacity limits starting as far back as M...
PRIOR LAKE, Minn. – University of Minnesota golfers Thomas Longbella, Lincoln Johnson and Connor Glynn have logged a lot of time together on the golf course. The three spend even more time together off the course as roommates in a house in Dinkytown. On Tuesday, the three were up early and left together, hoping to claim one of four spots at U.S Open Local Qualifying at the Legends Club, and after several hours on the course, the three headed home with tickets to the second stage of qualifying—together. Johnson fired a 6-under par 66 to earn med...

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is expected to authorize Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine for youngsters ages 12 to 15 by next week, according to a federal official and a person familiar with the process, setting up shots for many before the beginning of the next school year. The announcement is set to come a month after the company found that its shot, which is already authorized for those age 16 and older, also provided protection for the younger group. The federal official, speaking on the condition of anonymity to pre...
Education Secretary Miguel Cardona said he expects every school in the country to offer families in person learning, full time, five days a week at the start of the next school year and that he stands ready to increase the Education Department's oversight authority for those that do not. "I want all students to have the opportunity to learn in person in the spring, but I expect it in the fall," he said Monday during the Education Writers Association 74th annual national seminar. "I need all...
The past year has changed the lives of nearly everyone, but it's been a roller coaster for teachers. Many classes quickly transitioned to virtual at the beginning of the pandemic, with some returning to in-person teaching while others are still operating online. From bad internet connections to having to teach students behind plexiglass, teachers have had to find ways to keep students engaged and interested in school more so than ever. Now is the perfect time to repay them for all the effort they've put in as it's Teacher Appreciation Week....
Last summer, Global Plasma Solutions wanted to test whether the company’s air-purifying devices could kill covid-19 virus particles but could find only a lab using a chamber the size of a shoebox for its trials. In the company-funded study, the virus was blasted with 27,000 ions per cubic centimeter. In September, the company’s founder incidentally mentioned that the devices being offered for sale actually deliver a lot less ion power — 13 times less — into a full-sized room. The company nonetheless used the shoebox results — over 99% viral...
K-12 schools that cut instructional time by switching to a four-day week see meaningful reductions in student learning, according to recently published research. The effects are similar to those resulting from other common approaches to cost reduction, such as increasing class sizes, and the negative academic effects may intensify with the passage of time, the author finds. The trend toward closing schools for one day each week — or at least replacing academic programming during a fifth day with enrichment, field trips, or professional d...
Just prior to the onset of COVID-19, Chickasaw citizen Randi Wilkins had a difficult decision to make. Should she leave behind the hands-on student relationships of her classroom in Sulphur to accept a new position as Student Services Director of Hayes Grade Center in Ada? She decided to make the move, knowing she would fulfill her goal to guide and touch the lives of many children in a new way. Stepping away from being a teacher, she became a director. In the spring of 2020, she also began...
OKLAHOMA CITY – The notion of a grand, two-act opera to showcase Chickasaw culture struck classical music composer Jerod Impichchaachaaha' Tate like a lightning bolt. Tate's epiphany will be a yearlong project to bring "Shell Shaker: A Chickasaw Opera" to life at the University of Massachusetts' Amherst College stage March 5, 2022. "It is a perfect two-act grand opera," he said with excitement recently. "It's right in line with operas by Puccini, Mozart and Wagner. It tells the story of a y...
