Reality Data

Ron Crouch
Originally uploaded by kentuckylibrary.

If you missed Ron Crouch's presentation, then you missed out on a wonderfully funny and informative session. Dr. Crouch has presented for KLA conferences and groups several times, but this is the first time I've been able to catch his presentation.

Ron is the Director of the Kentucky State Data Center and he has all the numbers. Ron reminded us that the population data and other statistics are showing how our perceptions and reality are different. The most memorable piece of data came from Ron's study of Kentucky data (which will be available from the Kentucky State Data Center) and showed that Kentucky has the highest increase in percentage of residents who have completed high school. More information like this is available from the Kentucky State Data Center and the United States Census.

Ron also distributed copies of an article he wrote for Museum News, May/June 2004. The title of the article is "Rules for a New demographic Ballgame." Essentially the article shares how the population has changed and how we should prepare for the changes that will need to be made to accommodate this new society. Overall, I found it to be a very interesting read.

If you have the opportunity to hear Ron Crouch in the future, I hope you will take it.

    Deficiency of nutrition? So consuming the higher calorie processed food items that almost all American's consume is greater than a wholesome shake which has been scientifically formulated to supply our bodies using the vitamins they need to have for healthful functioning? Are you obtaining a healthful food for meal? You can't endure off the shakes alone.
    .. 1 for breakfast, one particular for lunch and then a wise food.
    ...Perhaps we are lacking one thing here, but offered the
    choice of recommended drugs, which them selves have all kinds of scary negative
    effects from blood clots to strokes to who is aware of what.
