I will be posting my feelings about the service and how I am using it soon.

So family history isn't on the cutting edge of technology. But it is really fun. And the new Family Search (http://www.new.familysearch.com) makes it a lot easier. Pulling from all the different databases that are available, it puts your family info together and organizes it.
This is brilliant because lots of people were working super hard to find their ancestors only to find out some already had that info. This reduces duplication and wasted effort, and makes it easy to find out,
"Where do I come from?"
Check it out.
On page 216 of Made to Stick, a story is shared about dealing with problems students. The take away of the story is that problem students are often showing off for their peers. If you can communicate that their peers don't appreciate the problems and disruptions, they will often stop the behavior.
I first heard the phrase "Don't Mess With Texas" from some Texans in the freshmen dorms. You know the guys with the Texas flag in their window. I thought it was just a catchy phrase showing off that oh-so-strong Texas pride.
