Loose Lips Sink Ships
During WWII millions of people were recruited or volunteered for duty. Many of these people did not know how to prevent inadvertent disclosure of important information. To fix this, the government established some rules. the soldiers were given a document as they entered the battle area.
There are 10 prohibited subjects.
1. Don't write military information of Army units -- their location, strength,, materiel, or equipment.
2. Don't write of military installations.
3. Don't write of transportation facilities.
4. Don't write of convoys, their routes, ports (including ports of embarkation and disembarkation), time en route, naval protection, or war incidents occurring en route.
5. Don't disclose movements of ships, naval or merchant, troops, or aircraft.
6. Don't mention plans and forecasts or orders for future operations, whether known or just your guess.
7. Don't write about the effect of enemy operations.
8. Don't tell of any casualty until released by proper authority (The Adjutant General) and then only by using the full name of the casualty.
9. Don't attempt to formulate or use a code system, cipher, or shorthand, or any other means to conceal the true meaning of your letter. Violations of this regulation will result in severe punishment.
10. Don't give your location in any way except as authorized by proper authority. Be sure nothing you write about discloses a more specific location than the one authorized.
These things were prohibited because they could give things away to the enemy, and we wouldnt wan that now would we?

My Year in Journalism
-Fun,strange, loud, random, exciting, upset, disappointing. These are just some of the many emotions I've felt throughout this school year in journalism class. Hardwork and dedication, a sense of time and a "good eye" are some skills required for this class. Wow.I have learned alot from my teacher and my classmates.
-This year was my 2nd year as a journalist. OMG, oh how far we have come. From 1 computer (papa) to like 20! That was such a blessing. From 8 people to maybe 16 (plus the "extra" people that were so jealous they needed a :study hall" in my class) also a blessing.
-Im thankful for being in this class. Even though we played around a whole lot, and occassionaly made you a little concerned, we still got the job done. In my opinion, we have done a very good job. Everyone did what they were required to do and even put in extra just because. It doesn't bother me that people still don't take the time out to read what we have worked on because I know its good.
-So, how do i begin to describe the atmosphere of our class??? I dont think I can. Its so diverse but yet unified. We have loud people, crazy people, silent people who arent silent anymore, the down right hyper people and the bubbly happy smiley people. Wow what a class!
-Unfortunately, this school year is almost over. We are working on our last issue as I speak. Thats sad for me because it is my last, last issue. *sigh* I really hope that the newspaper continues to get better. Ms. Melancon, make sure the right person takes my place on Kidz Korner. They need to have a heart for children too. I wish you luck and success. I love you.

who: lightening
what: lightening
when: when God decides to let lightening happen. jk. every 10 mins when there is lightening
where: in the sky lol
why: When cosmic rays enter our atmosphere, they strip electrons off air molecules. If a strong lightning bolt happens at the same time, it acts as an electric field, triggering an electron "avalanche" that launches the stray particles skyward in a narrow beam.
how: To start the accelerator, a powerful lightning strike needs to coincide with a burst of cosmic rays—high-energy particles coming from space.http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2010/04/100419-lightning-natural-particle-accelerators-lhc/

LSU Rural Life Museum
The LSU Rural Life Museum is holds Louisiana's history. This is a place where tourists can visit to capture Louisiana's culture. "It is located on the Burden Plantation, a 40-acre (160,000 m2) agricultural research experiment station. As a state with a diverse cultural ancestry, Louisiana has natives of French, Spanish, Native American, German, African, Acadian, and Anglo American heritage." The museum holds artifacts up to the 20th century.
The land on which the Rural Life Museum is located originally belonged to Philemon Thomas, a soldier, statesman, and leader of the force that captured Baton Rouge and West Florida from the Spanish in 1810. Later, the land was acquired by William S. Pike, a pioneer settler and prominent businessman in Baton Rouge. Mr. Pike, an uncle of Emma Gertrude Barbee, presented the parcel of land to her as a wedding gift upon her marriage to John Charles Burden in 1856. She and her husband named their plantation Windrush, after a small river which ran near his family home in England. The Burdens left Windrush following John’s death about 1870.
Over the years, every plant that could b e grown in this part of Louisiana has been grown in the Windrush Gardens, though exotics have been generally excluded. Both formal and wild areas were developed – a unique design which is intriguing as well as beautifulThe garden today is approximately 80 years old. A lovely lake has been added with two small islands in the middle. Duck houses for nesting wood ducks adorn the island, and both Louisiana and Japanese irises have been planted around the lakeshore. As years have passed, the gardens have become too shaded for many flowers, and others have become root-bound. Shortly before his death in 1995, Mr. Steele said, “The garden has become old, like me.” But visitors from around the world still stroll the curving paths through a part of Baton Rouge history – still beautiful, still living, still a place “where comfort, peace and tranquility reign.”
The Merrick Walking Beam Steam Engine at the Rural Life Museum was manufactured in 1861 and is one of only eight American-built steam engines known to still exist. It was found on Longwood Plantation on the River Road and may have been purchased by the plantation’s owner, S.J. Gianelloni, Sr. for making boards to use on the plantation. The cast iron engine has a fluted column (cast in one piece) supporting the beam. The fly wheel is 8 feet in diameter and was used to turn the engine, not for turning the belt. The belt pulley is on the crankshaft. Estimates of generated power are 10 to 40 horsepower.
This bronze statue of an elderly black man was created to memorialize the accomplishments and contributions of the African-Americans in nineteenth century Louisiana. After a long and colorful history, the statue was acquired by the LSU Rural Life Museum from the Bryan/Ducournau family in 1974.The statue of an old man tipping his hat was commissioned in 1926 and erected in 1927 at the foot of Front Street in Natchitoches, Louisiana. Set in a small park within a circular drive, the statue became a major tourist attraction as a one of a kind memorial to black workers of the nineteenth century. The statue has been known as the “Good Darky” and “Uncle Jack.” The original plaque (no longer visible) reads, “Dedicated to the arduous and faithful services of the good darkies of Louisiana.” Newspapers and magazines, including the National Geographic, contained articles and pictures of the statue and stated, “A visit to Natchitoches was not complete without a visit to the statue.”

- kids stories that we helped them write.
-Kidz Devotional:Isaiah 41:13 For I am the Lord, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.
Remember when you were just a little kid, and your mom had to hold your hand everywhere you went?? She was afraid you might run off and get lost. Well, in the same way, God holds your hand. He also loves you. Whenever you need help with something, He will be there to help. He said so and he never lies.
Senior College tips:
