Some Radio Race Things...
TEAMS
Only ONE PERSON PER TEAM needs to register. Only one entry fee is required per team. (Remember, AIR members get a discount!) There’s no limit to the number of people on your team. Just come up with a name and be sure to use it when you upload your entry to Soundcloud.
SOUNDCLOUD
There are two really important things you need to do, and we suggest doing them BEFORE the race begins, so that you don’t waste any precious time.
1.Set up a SoundCloud account
(If you don’t already have one): just go to https://soundcloud.com/ and click the orange “Sign up for SoundCloud” button. You only need to use ONE person’s SoundCloud account per team.
2. Join the 24-Hour Radio Race Group
Go HERE and click ‘Join’:You may also want to familiarize yourself with SoundCloud before the race starts. Here’s an article explaining how to upload a piece. Simply select the “Choose files” button, then locate the mp3 of your finished piece on your computer.
We’ll send you more details about uploading and naming your piece before the race begins.
TIME ZONES
A reminder that the Radio Race starts and ends at the same time for everyone, no matter where you are in the world. The 24-hour period begins when we email you the theme on Saturday, August 8th at 10AM Pacific Time. Your finished piece must be uploaded to SoundCloud BY Sunday August 9th at 10AM Pacific Time in order to be eligible for judging.
Don’t forget the Social Butterfly Award! It’s given to the team who best documents their 24-hour adventure on Facebook and using the hashtag#RadioRace. Why not start now?
JUDGES
We have a distinguished panel of judges who will be winnowing all the completed entries down to 10 finalists and then 3 winners.

i was expecting the ‘holy f***ing s***, f***ing dinosaurs’ but this was just
i wAS TRYING TO DRINK WATER AND IT WENT UP THE BACK OF MY MOUTH AND OUT OF MY NOSE
I was about to take a sip of my drink, and I couldn’t finish, I was laughing too hard.
And it just gets worse as it keeps going.
This one of my favorite things on the internet. I have shared it a thousand times and I will never stop.
If you don’t want me to reblog this, stop making it exist.
I’ve never once heard a car alarm going off and thought, “someones car is getting stolen.”
Have a good weekend!
This is exactly the right idea for the weekend. -Ariel

I once saw a woman possessed right in front of me. Her eyes glazed over, she shook, and she wasn't there anymore… someone else was.
Wow.

More and more people in education agree on the importance of learning stuff other than academics.
But no one agrees on what to call that “stuff”.
There are least seven major overlapping terms in play. New ones are being coined all the time. This bagginess bugs me, as a member of the education media. It bugs researchers and policymakers too.
“Basically we’re trying to explain student success educationally or in the labor market with skills not directly measured by standardized tests,” says Martin West, at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. “The problem is, you go to meetings and everyone spends the first two hours complaining and arguing about semantics.”
West studies what he calls “non-cognitive skills.” Although he’s not completely happy with that term.
Nonacademic Skills Are Key To Success. But What Should We Call Them?
