Waterfalls


You know whats funny...when I first started thinking about this topic my head starting playing the tune from TLC...Waterfalls Youtube
don't go chasin' waterfalls, 
please stick to the rivers and lakes that your used too. 
I know that you are gonna have it your way or nothing at all, 
but I think your moving to fast.  

Of course then I immediately started thinking about the parody that was done by Weird Al Yankovic called Phony Calls!!! Phony Calls Youtube
Don't Go Makin' Phony Calls
Please Stick to the seven digit numbers you're used to. 
I know that you think its funny drivin' folks right up the wall
But it's really gettin' old fast

What does this really have to do with Fire / EMS, really you want me to make the connection?  Well I am typically pretty good, but I'm not sure I can make the connection.  I just wanted to take a quick break in the serious topics and give you something to listen too!!!

Sometimes it is good to take breaks and laugh...Weird Al was awesome!  So click on the links above and listen to some music form the 90's and take a break.  #COMBOMEDIC will be back tomorrow night with #3 on the JEMS Physio-Control Innovators of the year list.  

Take Care and Stay Safe!

ELPA 6872 -Educational Technology

Good Morning Everybody. It has been a long time since I have posted on this blog.  The reason I am is a great reason for my Fire and EMS Audience, as well as my academic colleagues. After a very eventful beginning of 2018, my application was selected to join the latest cohort of students obtaining their Doctor of Education.  As part of this program, we are completing a course that is dedicated to technology and implementation into the classroom.  The delivery of this program is through technology based platforms, in that it is an online program. Here are some questions that I have about technology, and online learning. 1)  To mimic some of the classroom interaction and discussion, online educators use the discussion board with each module to foster communication.  For those of you having completed online educational programs, what made the discussion board useful? 2)  Does the set-up of the online course material make a difference in the success o...

The Original Sequestration

In the recent months, anybody that has a radio or television has heard the term sequester or sequestration.  If you look-up sequestration online you will find a definition basically stating that an object (of some sort) will be taken back.  In 1985 Congress adjusted the term to become a fiscal definition basically meaning to take money back.  You can get even more fancy with the definition; however, overall something was giveth and something will be taketh away!!! Now, my question to you today is whether you know what this means to you?  Really, you don't?  Well don't worry you are not in the minority in this case.  I think if you were to ask those that govern what the 2013 sequestration actually means and how the population of the United State is going to be affected.  Open up the paper (or online copy) and you will find a different editorial on how the sequestration is going to affect rank and file members of this wonderful country.  One edito...

Presidential Budget cuts 2.5M from vital grants!

I know that many of you are tired of hearing about the budget and the sequestration, fiscal cliffs and many many other things that are occurring in the federal budget.  Some of you don't care because it isn't currently affecting your department.  This is one budget update that you may want to pay attention to.  In the President's 2013 budget, the SAFER and Assistance to Firefighter grant programs are not being funded to previous years levels.  Now that cut currently sits at 2.5 million out of a total of 335m per program.  However, and this is where I caution you any cuts can be a dangerous sign to the future of this program.   As you know, emergency services (police, fire and ems) serves of America's first line of defense when it comes to dangerous situations.  These are the groups that are running towards the danger while others run out...i've always hated that quote, but it works.  Videos from the tragic events at the World Trade Ce...
