Drug testing school students is an idea that started spreading throughout high schools in the late 1980's. Very few schools across the United States would drug test students during this era. School districts started out just testing athletes. A couple decades later, junior high students would start to be added to those who are tested. This is when schools would expand testing to extra-curricular activities outside of sports. Students in band, choir, or those who drive to school would be required

In the past century, the United States was a very harsh for those who lived in it. Warren Buffett said “The United States endured two world wars; the Depression; a dozen or so recessions and financial panics; oil shocks; a flu epidemic; and the resignation of a disgraced president”. The United States persevered through those struggles and has become the world’s strongest nation. However, a new issue has prevented our growth. That issue is drugs. Drugs have caused about 50,000 deaths in America from

diverge very little. With a good laser an object at a distance of 1 km (0.6 mile) can be illuminated with a dot about 60 mm (2.3 inches) in radius. As it is so parallel it can also be focused to very small diameters where the concentration of light energy becomes so great that you can cut, drill or turn with the beam. It also makes it possible to illuminate and examine very tiny details. It is this property that is used in surgical appliances and in CD players. It can also be made very monochromic

Random Walks Charles N. Moore Department of Mathematics, Kansas State University Manhattan, KS 66506 U.S.A. Abstract. We discuss the classical theorem of P´lya on random walks on the integer lattice in o Euclidean space. This is the starting point for much work that has been done on random walks in other settings. We mention a tiny fraction of this work, and discuss in detail “random walks” which can be created using trigonometric functions. 1 P´lya’s Theorem o Consider the integers

In this presidential election year, nearly four in 10 Americans (39%) say they are following news about national politics "very closely." This percentage has risen 8% since 2015.

Random Breath Tests for Drivers is a Smart Thing to do As a six year old little girl I was faced with what I thought was the worst news of my life. In April 1989, my father was hit head on by a drunk driver and was killed instantly. Almost twenty years later and this horrific memory still plays over and over in my head. If random breathalyzers were performed more often by police officers then maybe my father would still be alive today. I believe random breathalyzers for drivers is a smart
