Too many students don’t have the resources they need. Today, we start to change that.

Everyone’s #BestSchoolDay is different. Before Blake Mycoskie became the founder and Chief Shoegiver of TOMS, his #BestSchoolDay was reciting the Emancipation Proclamation dressed as Abraham Lincoln. Actress and comedian Yvette Nicole Brown remembers the time her third-grade teacher returned from Africa and taught the class Swahili. Twitter co-founder Biz Stone won the “Bicycle Safety Essay Contest” on his #BestSchoolDay. For Samuel L. Jackson and Russell Simmons, every day of high school was a #BestSchoolDay —for Jackson, because he walked to school with the same group of friends, and for Simmons, because he was bussed to a different community that gave him greater opportunity.

Too many students, however, don’t have the classroom resources they need to realize their passions and unlock their potential. Students can’t dream big when classrooms lack books, microscopes, and robotics kits —or even paper, pencils, and paste.

That’s why more than 50 actors, athletes, entrepreneurs and philanthropists are stepping up to provide a boost to those students and their teachers. They’ve created a philanthropic flash mob to make classroom dreams come true across America.

Over-Exercising Linked to Life-Threatening Condition Called ‘Rhabdo’

Athletes who overdo may be at risk for a condition called rhabdomyolysis, which can even be fatal.

When it comes to exercise, most people think the harder you train, the better results you’ll get. But athletes who overexert themselves can end up with a life-threatening condition called rhabdomyolysis, known in fitness circles as “rhabdo.”

Steve Hanson, a 31-year-old former Corporal in the Army rangers who is stationed in Afghanistan and works for the federal government as diplomatic security, developed rhabdomyolysis it when he overworked his body while training for races that lasted up to 12 hours.

“I was concurrently training for endurance races that involved biking, kayaking and running,” Hanson said via email. “I was training six days a week, and the one day off apparently wasn’t enough.”

The pain from the rhabdo was so excruciating that he initially thought he had broken his back.

“I was in terrible pain,” he said. “I was convinced my spine was fractured at the very least. I didn’t know at the time that it was my kidneys shutting down. On top of that, my feeling of well-being was at an all-time low. I felt extremely depressed, which only amplified the pain.”

WOW!!!  This is a remarkable, unbelievable performance!

I don’t think Tchaikovsky had this choreography in mind when he wrote ” Swan Lake “. How could anyone imagine the performance you are about to see. With a population of 1.3 billion, the Chinese had to locate two great dancer/athletes…… and they did!!!

See it and believe it …It is almost unbelievable!!!
