There has been a SIGNIFICANT CHANGE to the general education options at CSI. In the past, COMM 101 was the only option available to students to meet the Oral Communication general education requirement. However, that has changed! CSI is now offering COMM 209 (Critical Thinking and Argumentation) as a course that can meet the Oral Communication general education requirement. This means that for spring semester 2018 MOST majors at CSI will accept COMM 101 OR COMM 209 to meet the general education requirement (for a complete list of those majors that will or will not accept COMM 209, please contact an advisor or myself).
Critical thinking skills are sought after by hiring professionals in all areas of employment and COMM 209 is great class to work on those skills. Further, it's a fun class! This is what other students have to say about COMM 209:
"This course has been one of the best I have ever taken at CSI. It is taught at a higher level. It is very entertaining and informative. I have thoroughly enjoyed this class."
"This is an excellent course. This course should be a required course for everybody. Taking this course and learning about the different types of argumentation and what makes them work or not work has given me the ability to tell the good from the bull puckey. It doesn't matter whether it is a claim made by a politician, advertising, or science everyone should be able to take that claim apart and know why it does or doesn't work."
"This has honestly been one of my favorite classes I have ever taken in or out of college. The content of the course has been extremely and easily applicable in my everyday life making me more thoughtful of what I am doing throughout the day and more importantly why I am doing those things. I especially liked our in depth look at ideological stand points and logical fallacies. The way that the class is structured is not traditional by any means, but for the subject matter, which is in and of itself not traditional, it is a very effective way to help the students internalize the principles of correct argumentation."
"Easily one of the best college courses that I've had the opportunity to take, in nearly all aspects! It is the ideal course for actual learning and application in higher education. This class has influenced me and helped me to become a significantly better critical thinker and I'm and EXTREMELY thankful for the opportunity I had to take it! I learned SO much!"
COMM 209 is offered MWF 10:00-10:50 and T/TH 8:00-9:15 in the spring semester. Feel free to contact me with any questions you might have about the class or registration.

| Dinosaurs at Dust: The Origins of Flight |
The Faulkner Planetarium announces the opening of a brand new show, Dinosaurs at Dusk: the origins of flight is a fantasy trip back to the Mesozoic Era. Mysteriously journey roughly 250 million years into the past with Lucy, where she meets her father and together they explore the rise of feathered dinosaurs and pterosaurs, the largest creatures ever to take wing. Traveling from continent to continent and through the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous periods, the pair race across 165 million years of prehistoric time to discover the origins of flight before the dinosaurs meet their demise through the impact of a giant asteroid, 65 million years ago. Will they succeed? Can they themselves survive the asteroid impact that devastated the Earth and finished off the dinosaurs? Will Lucy find her way back to the present time? The adventure awaits!
The planetarium has an expanded slate of public show times on tap for the weeks after Christmas and New Year's, when most area school districts are closed for the holiday break. In addition to the regular public show times on Tuesday and Friday evenings and Saturdays, the planetarium will have three shows each afternoon Tuesday through Friday at 1:30, 2:30 and 3:30 PM during the period. Dinosaurs at Dusk will show at 1:30 and 3:30 PM Tuesday through Saturday and at 7:00 PM Tuesday, Friday and Saturday. Beginning January 9, the program will show at 7:00 PM Tuesdays and Fridays and at 1:30, 3:30, and 7:00 PM on Saturdays.
Planetarium Manager Rick Greenawald says of Dinosaurs at Dusk, "We are very pleased to be able to bring this program to the residents of south central Idaho. This fast-paced romp will appeal to a broad range of ages, everyone from young, dinosaur crazy, kids to their parents and those with a general interest in dinosaurs should find this an enjoyable show. It is a family friendly program."
Located in the Herrett Center for Arts and Science on the College of Southern Idaho campus in Twin Falls, ID, the Faulkner Planetarium has been bringing quality programs to the public for over 22 years. Admission prices to planetarium shows are $6.00 adults, $5.00 seniors, $4.00 student, including CSI students with a valid student ID; children under age 2 admitted free.

Your Preteens and Teens Need Vaccines Too!
US Department of Health & Human Services
There are four vaccines recommended for preteens and teens to help protect your children, as well as their friends and family members, from serious illness. While your kids should get a flu vaccine every year, the three other preteen vaccines should be given when kids are either 11 or 12 years old.
What vaccines are recommended for my preteen?
Boys and girls should get the following vaccines at age 11 or 12 years:
- HPV vaccine
Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine helps protect against HPV infections that cause cancer. All boys and girls should finish the HPV vaccine series before they turn 13 years old.
- Quadrivalent meningococcal conjugate vaccine
Quadrivalent meningococcal conjugate vaccine protects against some of the bacteria that can cause infections of the lining of the brain and spinal cord (meningitis) and bloodstream infections (bacteremia or septicemia). These illnesses can be very serious, even fatal.
- Tdap vaccine
Tdap vaccine provides a booster to continue protection from childhood against three serious diseases: tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (also called whooping cough).
- Flu vaccine
Preteens and teens should get a flu vaccine every year, by the end of October if possible. It is very important for preteens and teens with chronic health conditions like asthma or diabetes to get the flu shot, but the flu can be serious for even healthy kids.

Insights for Professionals
Ensuring you get everything done in a timely manner can be stressful, especially when your to-do list simply keeps on growing. So how can you become a more productive person?
Productivity has become a business focus in recent years as more organizations realize the value of a happy and productive workforce. This has led to the development of original and unique employee benefits, remote working and a changing workplace.
The digital world we now live in means that almost everything is instant. Online orders, messaging, and readily available information - you name it. We've become so reliant on this instant world that technology has adapted to accommodate this need with the smartwatch, where you can be continuously connected to emails, texts and social networks, without even picking up your phone.
These constant demands mean that we need to be working harder and faster than ever before. Unfortunately, the physical human body just can't keep up and so productivity has become a big concern for businesses and the realization that a dip in productivity can be very costly.
On an individual level, employees from all industries are starting to suffer from the mounting pressures of this fast-paced environment and no amount of employee benefits can make up for this. This means it's important for individuals to understand how they can be more productive and maintain that level of productivity without suffering from stress, or other mental health issues.
When it comes down to it, you need to know how to maximize your productivity in order to better manage your workload, meet the expectations of your manager and simply get stuff done. So how can you optimize this in order to stay on top of the ever-growing to-do list without burning out?

City of Twin Falls Taking Additional Precautions to Clear City Streets
The City of Twin Falls is taking additional precautions to clear and maintain street access during winter weather conditions, and it is asking for the public's help to ensure that street crews can safely clear streets when significant snow or precipitation arrives.
The city has eight snowplows and sanders to maintain more than 630 miles of streets, which must be cleared of snow and ice before being dusted with a mix of sand and de-icing agent. New this year is a salt brine station that will provide city street crews with a much needed de-icing agent this winter. Roadways are plowed and sanded in order of priority that is ranked by traffic counts. For example, main arterials such as Blue Lakes Boulevard, Eastland Avenue, Washington Street, Addison Avenue, Kimberly Road and Pole Line Road are a higher priority because of higher traffic counts, more congestion, and accessibility for emergency vehicles.
Streets with smaller traffic counts are cleared and sanded after priority roads have been completed. The city does not normally plow subdivisions or narrower residential streets because plows can damage parked cars, mailboxes, and landscaping. However, the city will apply sand to intersections on residential streets when time and conditions allow for it. The city does increases the frequency of plowing on roadways during heavy snowfall, and is asking that drivers yield to snow plow
Please remember the following while driving this winter:
SLOW IT DOWN:
The posted speed limit is the recommended speed under ideal driving conditions. When snow and ice are present, drivers should reduce their speed to prevent collisions or losing control of the vehicle. In general, give yourself an extra 15 minutes during the winter to scrape your windshield and drive slower.
SPACE IT OUT:
The 'three-second rule' states when following another vehicle, drivers should pick a point on the road and count slowly to three after the vehicle in front passes the point. If the driver passes the chosen point before the count of three, then that driver is following too close. During hazardous driving conditions, drivers should extend the count to five or more.
STOP EARLY AND SLOWLY:
Double or even triple your stopping distance - heavier vehicles like trucks require more stopping distance on slick roadways. Also, apply the break gently to avoid losing traction.
In the event of significant snowfall, the City of Twin Falls encourages the following:
DO NOT PARK ON THE STREET:
Snow plows eject snow and debris with significant force, which can cause damage to vehicles parked on the side of the street. If possible, please park in your driveway or another designated parking area. This will help city plow drivers clear streets faster and more effectively without damaging vehicles.
PLEASE DO NOT SHOVEL SNOW INTO STREET:
When clearing snow from driveways, sidewalks and walkways, please dispose of it on a permeable landscaped area such as grass or gravel. This will help the snow melt into the ground and avoid flooding cause by covered or overwhelmed city storm water drains. Locate the storm water drain nearest your residence, which is typically located along the curbing or gutters on city streets. If drains become clogged or frozen, you can help by clearing snow or ice from the drain.
BE AWARE OF SNOW MEDIANS:
Some streets require plows to move snow to the center of the street - rather than to the curbside. This helps prevent against snow accumulation on sidewalks and flooding of residences and business when the snow melts.
SIGN UP FOR CITY ALERTS:
Please sign up for alerts from the City of Twin Falls by selecting the 'Notify Me' link on the city's website at www.tfid.org.
Please call the City of Twin Falls non-emergency dispatch line at 208-735-4357 to report dangerous conditions on roads or intersections. City street workers or officers with the Twin Falls Police Department will evaluate the roadway and dispatch plows and sanders when needed.
