USA Memory Championships competitors provide tips for remembering the stuff we always forget | Unplugged Media Literacy & Politics What Students Should Know About Campaigns & the Media by Frank W. Baker For many years, I have been interested in the way the media reports on the presidential campaign and the way the candidates manipulate the media. Many people will say that this year’s campaign has turned negative, and they’d be correct. But negative ads have a purpose: they’re designed to get our attention and they provide candidates with opportunities not only to make charges and allegations but also to plant doubts in the minds of the potential voter. Everywhere I go, teachers tell me that their students believe everything they see, read and hear.

How does today impact tomorrow’s success? Everyone wants to have a good day, but not many people know what a good day looks like – much less how to create one. And even fewer people understand how the way you live today impacts your tomorrow. Have you ever asked someone what he was doing and heard him respond, “Oh, I’m just killing time”? Have you ever really thought about that statement? If we want to do something with our lives, then we must focus on today. The secret of your success is determined by your daily agenda. It all comes down to what you do today. Make the decision once, then manage it daily. There are only a handful of important decisions that people need to make in their entire lifetimes. If you make decisions in those key areas once and for all – and then manage those decisions daily – you can create the kind of tomorrow you desire.

Joshua Bell Joshua David Bell (born December 9, 1967) is an American Grammy Award-winning violinist and conductor. Childhood[edit] Bell was born in Bloomington, Indiana, United States on December 9, 1967. His mother, Shirley, was a therapist. His father, Alan P. Bell, was a psychologist, Professor Emeritus of Indiana University, in Bloomington, and a former Kinsey researcher.[1][2] His father is of Scottish descent, and his mother is Jewish (his maternal grandfather was born in Israel and his maternal grandmother was from Minsk). Bell began taking violin lessons at the age of four after his mother discovered that her son had taken rubber bands from around the house and stretched them across the handles of his dresser drawer to pluck out music he had heard her play on the piano. At the age of 14, Bell appeared as a soloist with the Philadelphia Orchestra conducted by Riccardo Muti. Career[edit] Bell made his Carnegie Hall debut in 1985, at age 17, with the St. Washington Post experiment[edit]
