That kind of behavior is called bullying, and it’s cruel. “I’m sick of it,” Gardner says. “I would just like to be under the radar so nobody notices me.” Bullying Hurts Everyone • Level V 5 6 Kinds of Bullying Seven out of ten kids say they are bullied. Bullying is any kind of aggressive behavior that causes physical or emotional pain to others. When people engage in bullying, they’re trying to gain power over someone they think is smaller or weaker. We all do things that sometimes hurt the feelings of others, even if it’s by accident. Bullying behavior is different, however, because it is done on purpose, and it happens over and over again. Gardner and Lily both live in Utah, but bullying can happen anywhere. In fact, the problem is so Many teachers and doctors who study human widespread that the Centers for Disease Control feelings have spent a lot of time trying to (CDC) says it’s a major public health problem all understand bullies and bullying behavior. Here’s over the United States. what they have learned: 1) Bullying can happen any time people interact. That includes at school According to a 2010 study by the National or church, in neighborhoods, and at home. It Center for Education, more than 55 percent of all can happen to kids or to adults. 2) Bullying can students reported witnessing bullying at school. happen when two people are face-to-face or when About 71 percent of students said bullying is an one person attacks another by saying bad things ongoing problem for them at school. about him or her to others. In addition, 15 percent of students said they skip Some common bullying behaviors include: school because they fear being targeted by bullies. About one in every ten students said they quit or Physical bullying—when someone uses his changed schools because they were repeatedly or her body and strength to hurt another person. bullied. Statistics vary from study to study, but Bullies sometimes hit, shove, spit, and kick. experts agree that bullying is a big problem. Let’s look at some basic facts about bullying. Bullying Hurts Everyone • Level V 7 8 Cyberbullying—using the Internet, email, text messages, and other kinds of technology to hurt. This is a different kind of bullying because the messages can reach large groups of people in many different places. A bully can use technology to post messages or threats without using his or her real name. That’s called being anonymous. Cyberbullying is hard to stop because no one knows who is sending the messages. Verbal bullying—using words to hurt. This can include saying mean things or embarrassing someone by calling him or her names or making fun of him or her in front of others. Bullies also might tell stories or spread lies about others. Social bullying—using actions and words to exclude someone from a group or to break up friendships. This can include setting up other kids to take the blame for things that happen in class or on the playground. It can also mean forcing another person to do something, like giving food or money to a bully. Bullying Hurts Everyone • Level V 9 10 Who Is a Bully? A TEACHER’S VIEW Professor Susan Limber says there is no simple explanation for why some people become bullies. Limber studies the science of emotions and behavior at Clemson University in South Carolina and helps create bully-free schools. Teacher Janet Limber says studies show that certain common Moffat gets experiences increase the chances that someone kids talking on the playground will become a bully. Those can include living in a of her school. home that is not very loving or one with either no rules or very harsh punishments. Catherine DePino knows a lot about bullies. She’s been a teacher and school administrator in Philadelphia for more than thirty years and has seen firsthand how a bully can change a classroom. DePino, who has written books on bullying, says the problem is getting worse. Computers and text messaging allow bullies to Gather all the attack from far away. That makes kids parties . less likely to see or feel the suffering and talk it out. they are causing, DePino says. Bullies can cause problems in a classroom by distracting both teachers and other students from learning, DePino says.

  • 2010 Spaceport News Summary
    2010 Spaceport News Summary The 2010 Spaceport News used the above banner for the year. The “Spaceport News” portion used a bolder look at the beginning of the year and finished the year with a less bold look. This feature is included on page 1 of some of the 2010 Spaceport News issues. Introduction The first issue of the Spaceport News was December 13, 1962. The 1963, 1964 and 1965 Spaceport News were issued weekly. The Spaceport News was issued every two weeks, starting July 7, 1966, until the last issue on February 24, 2014. Spaceport Magazine, a monthly issue, superseded the Spaceport News in April 2014, until the final issue, Jan./Feb. 2020. The two 1962 Spaceport News issues and the issues from 1996 until the final Spaceport Magazine issue, are available for viewing at this website. The Spaceport News issues from 1963 through 1995 are currently not available online. In this Summary, black font is original Spaceport News text, blue font is something I added or someone else/some other source provided, and purple font is a hot link. All links were working at the time I completed this Spaceport News Summary. The Spaceport News writer is acknowledged, if noted in the Spaceport News article.

Bruises. Maybe some broken teeth. For decades that described our notion of bullying - a few boys slugging it out on a playground, a rite of passage to be expected. Today’s definitions of bullying extend far beyond the physical aspects to include verbal, emotional, sexual and cyberbullying. Children involved in bullying suffer from a wide spectrum of physical and emotional symptoms, including depression, irritability, anxiety, sleeping difficulties, headaches and/or stomachaches. Furthermore, the consequences of bullying increasingly include such serious problems as eating disorders, school absenteeism, running away, alcohol and drug abuse and above all, self-inflicted, accidental injuries and suicidal behavior.1 This Joint Position Statement on Prevention of Bullying-Related Morbidity and Mortality was released in 2011 by the Board of the American Psychiatric Association in partnership with the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry.

  • Printable Press Release
    Press Release Patterson helps prepare astronauts for future visit to asteroid (October 13, 2011) Professor Mark Patterson of the Virginia Institute of Marine Science, an aquanaut with several previous trips to “inner space” aboard the Aquarius underwater habitat, will assist a team of NASA astro- nauts as they visit the habitat from October 17-29 to develop techniques for a planned future trip to an asteroid. Patterson is part of the science support team for NEEMO 15—the latest mission of the NASA Extreme Environment Mission Operations project. NEEMO sends groups of NASA astronauts and engineers to live in the Aquarius undersea research station as training for work in the weightlessness of outer space. Patterson, Director of the Autonomous Systems Laboratory at VIMS, is a pioneer in the development and use of underwa- ter robots for marine research. His role during the upcoming 13-day NEEMO mission will be to assist the aquanauts as they deploy and operate an oceanographic sensor that will be Aquanauts: Professor Mark Patterson (2nd from mounted atop a one-person DeepWorker submarine.

    LINC Commission Meeting March 26, 2012 Aging in Kansas City LINC Local Investment Commission 3100 Broadway, Kansas City, MO 64111 (816) 889-5050 www.kclinc.org Local Investment Commission (LINC) Vision Our Shared Vision A caring community that builds on its strengths to provide meaningful opportunities for children, families and individuals to achieve self-sufficiency, attain their highest potential, and contribute to the public good. Our Mission To provide leadership and influence to engage the Kansas City Community in creating the best service delivery system to support and strengthen children, families and individuals, holding that system accountable, and changing public attitudes towards the system. Our Guiding Principles 1. COMPREHENSIVENESS: Provide ready access to a full array of effective services. 2. PREVENTION: Emphasize “front-end” services that enhance development and prevent problems, rather than “back-end” crisis intervention. 3. OUTCOMES: Measure system performance by improved outcomes for children and families, not simply by the number and kind of services delivered. 4. INTENSITY: Offering services to the needed degree and in the appropriate time. 5. PARTICIPANT INVOLVEMENT: Use the needs, concerns, and opinions of individuals who use the service delivery system to drive improvements in the operation of the system. 6. NEIGHBORHOODS: Decentralize services to the places where people live, wherever appropriate, and utilize services to strengthen neighborhood capacity. 7. FLEXIBILITY AND RESPONSIVENESS: Create a delivery system, including programs and reimbursement mechanisms, that are sufficiently flexible and adaptable to respond to the full spectrum of child, family and individual needs. 8. COLLABORATION: Connect public, private and community resources to create an integrated service delivery system.
