The Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) assessments are designed to measure the extent to which a student has learned and is able to apply the defined knowledge and skills at each tested grade level.
TAKS blueprints establish the length of each test and the number of test items measuring each objective. These blueprints provide consistency from one test administration to the next. TEA developed the blueprints to ensure that each subject-area/grade-level test includes a variety of the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) student expectations eligible for assessment. In addition, each subject-area blueprint reflects an appropriate distribution of the TEKS across objectives for that grade level.
TEA developed TAKS information booklets to provide a better understanding of TAKS and its connection to the statewide curriculum, the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS). These booklets are not intended to replace the teaching of the TEKS curriculum, provide the basis for the isolated teaching of skills in the form of narrow test preparation, or serve as the single information source about every aspect of the TAKS program. However, we believe that the booklets provide helpful explanations as well as show enough sample items, reading and writing selections, and prompts to give educators a good sense of the assessment.Note that unlike the previous information booklets, each grade within a subject area is now presented as a separate booklet. However, it is still important that teachers review the information booklets for the grades both above and below the grade they teach. For example, eighth grade reading teachers who review the seventh grade booklet as well as the ninth grade booklet are able to develop a broader perspective of the TAKS reading assessment than if they study only the eighth grade booklet.
The information booklets for each subject area contain some information
unique to that subject. However, all booklets include the following information,
which we consider critical for every subject-area TAKS test:

The Nepal government failed to take significant steps towards fulfilling numerous key human rights commitments in 2012, Human Rights Watch (HRW) has said.
In its 665-page World Report 2013, it said that failures in Nepal included a lack of movement on measures to improve the rights of women, children and Tibetan refugees.
A May deadline to draft a new constitution lapsed and since then the country has been left with a caretaker cabinet and without an elected legislature, with only vague promises of fresh elections. Despite policy initiatives aimed to ensure equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people as well as an inclusive education system for children with disabilities, government rhetoric for those initiatives exceeded actual implementation.
"2012 was a sorry replay of Nepal's past seven years of impunity and government unwillingness or inability to deliver on its commitments to human rights," said Brad Adams of HRW.

Even as CIOs continue to pursue the multi-provider model for outsourcing IT, the question remains as to how to do it successfully: amassing the necessary vendor management skills needed, avoiding vendor finger pointing, and achieving intended results.
There are a few options for managing a portfolio of providers. You can build your own provider consortium à la GM's Ralph Szygenda-an effort that's not for the faint of heart. Or you can go the traditional prime contractor with subcontractors route, but those margins on top of margins add up. Or you can hire someone-a service integrator-to manage it for you.
[ Stay ahead of the key tech business news with InfoWorld's Today's Headlines: First Look newsletter. | Read Bill Snyder's Tech's Bottom Line blog for what the key business trends mean to you. ]
In the past such multi-sourcing management was the purview of full-service outsourcing consultancies. But today, many major IT service providers are nominating themselves for that job. HP made the biggest splash with the launch of its service integration business earlier this year. But they're not alone in going after the role of top outsourcer on campus. Capgemini, Accenture, CGI, Unisys, CSC, and Indian providers such as Infosys, Wipro and HCL all offer similar propositions, even if they don't exist as a separate commercial business or service offering.
"It is a matter of competitive necessity and advantage," says Forrester Research principal analyst Bill Martorelli. "Outsourcing suppliers have learned that it is good to have the capability to serve as a coordinator for multi-sourcing engagements."
Outsourcing management work provides the vendors with a more stable revenue stream than project work or consulting gigs, says Gartner vice president and distinguished analyst Claudio Da Rold. And they can use the extra face time to win more work from the customer.
The biggest benefit to customers of anointing one of their outsourcers to manage the others is access to the qualified personnel and repeatable processes required to guarantee end-to-end service delivery. "If [customers] haven't developed the proper skills, governance, or discipline around managing outsourced providers from an internal perspective, then an existing IT service provider may seem like a better option," says Steve Martin, partner with outsourcing consultancy Pace Harmon.
Anointing an experienced vendor top cop can also help companies transition to a multi-sourced environment for the first time or consolidate their existing portfolio of IT providers. Indeed, many customers end up backing into a service integrator deal with an outsourcer once they realize how tricky managing multiple outsourcers is, says Tony Filippone, executive vice president of research for outsourcing analyst firm HfS Research.
But the prospect that an IT outsourcer, put in charge of managing and reporting on direct competitors, might abuse or misuse that position puts many customers off. While HP, for example, is touting service integration as a separate offering from its IT outsourcing business, it's hard to know if such Chinese walls provide much protection.

- Use & Care
- Always use caution when handling sharp objects.
- Avoid cutting on hard surfaces such as stone, metal or glass.
- It is not advisable to use any knife but a meat cleaver to cut through bone, as other blades can be easily damaged.
- Hand-wash with warm water and a mild detergent; rinse and dry immediately.
- Avoid cleaners containing bleach or citrus extracts.
- Sharpen as needed. With regular use and honing once a week, your knife should not need sharpening more than once or twice a year.
- Sharpen your knife at home using a whetstone or knife sharpener designed to sharpen at a 16-degree angle, or have it sharpened by a professional.
- Store knife in a safe place to protect its edge and prevent injury.

Proponents of building a Shreveport dog park saw more frustration on Tuesday as Mayor Cedric Glover tells city council members he's still not on board.Glover told the council that a dog park was not a high priority compared to other projects.His comments come on the heels of an announcement by the Shreveport Dog Park Alliance that the organization plans to sue Glover if he doesn't give his signature to green light the project.The current plan puts the first facility of its kind in Hamel Park along the Red River. Alliance members say they've already been promised the necessary funding. "The city suggested we go to the parish to find money, and the parish came through with money from the Red River Waterway Commission, and through all of that we're ready to start a dog park," said Cynthia Keith, with the alliance. Months ago Glover had vetoed a dog park proposal. The city council countered by overturning his veto. City Council Member Michael Corbin had asked Glover to give the council an update on the status of the project during the city council's regular meeting on Tuesday.
"My position has not changed," Glover said to council members. Copyright 2013 KSLA. All rights reserved.

NBCNEWS.COM - A warning for bargain shoppers: Is your favorite retailer misleading
you with those big sales? We've reported on this before, and now we're
back with a new development.
We all love a good sale, and when you
see that sign — 20 percent off, 30 percent off, 50 percent off — you
assume you're getting a deal. But we found that sale price may not be a
deal at all.
We first told you about this last month.
Well, right after that story aired on TODAY, store insiders emailed me,
speaking out against one of the country's most popular retailers. And
what they say may change the way you shop.
The allure of
the sale: prices too good to pass up. And we eat it up. But now, two JC
Penney employees say some of those amazing bargains aren't bargains at
A few months ago JC Penney changed its pricing model, from
everyday low pricing to sales. The company says that's what customers
wanted. But these employees say JC Penney was really just artificially
inflating prices, then putting those same items on sale.
Stone says she did it when she worked at a JC Penney in Virginia. "All
of a sudden, the rack of $7 shorts became $14, and then they were 50
percent off."
"What did you say to your bosses when they asked you to do this?" we asked.
"They said it was coming down from corporate in Texas," Gena told us.
"Were you comfortable doing it?" we asked.
"No." Gena replied.

Penney, at a store in Florida. He told us, "I saw a lot of pricing teams
going through the store, raising the prices, mostly doubling — towels
and clothing."
"Double the price?"
"That's right. Then they
would go on sale, and they wouldn't always go on sale for 50 percent
off," Bob said. "So it was— not only was it a fake sale, but they were
actually paying more than they would have been previously."
"These customers think they're getting a good deal," we said.
"Right. And they're not."
JC Penney, we found a Dyson vacuum cleaner advertised on sale. Regular
price: $725. Sale price: $649. It sound like a great deal, but we
checked with the manufacturer: Turns out that sale price is the same as
the suggested full price.
"How widespread is this?" we
asked Priya Raghubir, a professor of marketing at New York University
who says many retailers use those "sale" signs to lure us in.
"I think it's very widespread," she told us. "You feel smart, you feel happy, and you feel you've got a great deal."
"Are stores playing on our emotions?" we asked.
"Yes, stores are completely playing on our emotions," she said.
a statement, JC Penney told us all its items put on sale must be
"previously sold at ... regular price for a reasonable period of time" —
and its pricing model is common in the retail industry.
"I don't think what they're doing is right," Gena Stone said. "And it's to their detriment."
We asked Bob Blatchford why he emailed us and decided to come forward. "You could lose your job for this," we pointed out.
I thought it was wrong and I thought the public had a right to know,"
Bob said. "And I don't think Penney's will survive if they keep doing
So how do you know when a sale is really a good deal?
Here's the takeaway. Before you buy anything, ask the store clerk: Was
this product ever sold at the regular price? And how long has it been on
sale? If it's been on sale for a while, that's a red flag.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: April 30, 2009
'Passing of the leash' celebration and open house rescheduled for May 2
Pets and their owners are invited to come to Halfway Home Pet Adoptions (the City of Kansas City, Mo., animal shelter) on May 2 to celebrate recent shelter changes with a ceremonial "passing of the leash." The event was originally scheduled for March 28, but was cancelled due to rain.
At this celebration, tours of the updated facility will be available, as will dog baths for $15, pet caricature drawings for $10-15, microchipping for $20, vaccinations for $10 each, licenses for $12 (altered) $35 (unaltered), and volunteer sign-up. (Some items are dependent on the weather.) The shelter is located at 4400 Raytown Road.
The celebration begins at 8 a.m. and will conclude at noon. The passing of the leash at 10 a.m. will feature Councilwoman Cindy Circo, 5th District at large, City Manager Wayne A. Cauthen and Dr. R. Wayne Steckelberg, founder of the Veterinary Management Corp. Circo was the leader of the effort to create a new partnership at the shelter. Since March 1, Veterinary Management Corp. has managed the operation of the City's animal shelter. Shelter operations include caring for animals that have been picked up and serving as an adoption center. Licenses are available at the shelter.
The employees in the Animal Health and Public Safety Division of the Neighborhood and Community Services Department who formerly worked in the shelter now provide pickup service of stray, sick and injured animals. The division staff continues to enforce animal and fowl ordinances, and conduct investigations and inspections. These employees now have offices at 4900 Swope Parkway.
For more information about this event, call Halfway Home Pet Adoptions, (816) 513-9850.
To file a complaint or concern about an animal, residents are asked to call the 3-1-1 Action Center, (816) 513-1313 or 311.

My ten-week-old puppy cried for two hours when I left him with a friend. I'm glad that I didn't know this at the time I was going on vacation, or I would have turned around and came back!
I had just rescued him a week earlier. I had found him in the road, nearly starved to death.
I guess he associated me with safety, food, and water, because my friend said he acted like he'd lost his lifeline. He howled and howled, and I hate that he saw me driving away without him!

A study published in the American Journal of Therapeutics found that carnosine can mobilize the immune system to fight early stages of the flu.
The carnosine compound can be found in many recipes for chicken soup.
For the second time in a week, a study has come out saying chicken soup can actually help ease the pain and suffering of the flu.
Researchers at the University of Nebraska have found the ingredients in the soup can actually improve your immune system and help you not only fight the flu when it hits, but keep you from getting sick in the first place.

I've just spoken to the weather watchers and they agree-it was quite pleasant today.
The day began cool with temperatures about five degrees below the seasonal average. Thermometers in Winnfield, Jena, Oakdale and Natchez, Miss. fell into the middle 40s. Fort Polk and Williana both stayed in the lower 50s. The daily average is 52 degrees and the record low is 32 set in 1917.
Full sunshine turned temperatures around 30+ degrees at most points. Many anf Bellwood warmed to 86 degrees while Natchez, Miss. stayed at 79. The daily average is 77 degrees and the record is 91 set in 1953.
A cold front will move through central Louisiana overnight. A steady breeze out of the northeast will drop afternoon temperatures 10-15 from Thursday's highs.

Solia Tourmaline Ceramic Ion Flat Iron (1-1/4")
Jl MaggsThick Coarse HairI have very thick, very coarse hair. Have used a cheapy straightner in the past with mediocre results (took FOREVER to straighten, and still looked coarse). With the Solia straightener, not only is my straightening time cut down to 10 minutes (used to take me approx. 25), my hair is incredibly silky. Another time saver is that with my old straightener, I still had to blow dry my hair straight first, so the whole process took about 45 minutes. Now I can blow dry my hair upside down for 10 minutes (at which point my hair is HUGE) and still straighten in 10 minutes. Its nuts. I have also gotten a ton of compliments at work.posted Nov 11, 2004Link to this post

Mary L.Love It !!!I purchased this Solia Professional Ceramic Ion Flat Iron based on the reviews that I read from previous owners, and I couldnt be happier. It heats up in about 30 seconds, and is exactly what I was looking for. It does a great job at straightening, and leaves hair feeling soft. I highly recommend this product, it is worth the price.

Meriget BlankenshipSan Antonio, TexasSolia Ceramic Flat IronI love my Solia! It heats up instantly, I never have to wait! It works oh so fast, and makes my hair super silky and smooth with no frizz at all! Only drawback is the lack of safety turn off, I have to remember to unplug it..but other than that, A+++ Product!

First Iron Was A DisappointmentTulsa, OKNot What I Expected From My First Flat IronI bought the Solia Flat iron because it had such high reviews on this site. Unfortunately, my experience was much like the 2 or 3 lower reviews posted for the product. Immediately I noticed that the plates did not close evenly, the tops met, but there was a gap at the bottom. More minor things that I noticed were that the handles were scuffed up with some scratches. I emailed Folia and it was explained to me that it was normal that the plates did not sit flush, that I would have to press them together. I was not happy with that response, as pressing the plates hard pulled on my hair and sounded like it was ripping the ends. I quickly returned the item and have purchased a WIGO the 5306V2--at Folica.com that one is working great on my hair.

M. VictoriaCape Cod, MassachusettsPretty GoodIm African american, and my hair is relaxed, but the ends can be a problem most of the time. I usually just wear it up because I cant deal with the poofy, frizzy, ends. Anyway, my Solia got here pretty quick, and I used it that day. It worked alright, but I didnt seem to get the "stick straight" effect that other people say they achieved. I dunno, I used it on dry hair too. Maybe Ill try putting a straightening serum of something like that in my hair prior. If any1 has any ideas, e-mail me: Jireh535CM (at)aol.com. Aside from this small problem, I really like the Solia. I dont think Ill be returning it anytime soon.posted Nov 9, 2004Link to this post

MelissaSolia Professional Ceramic Ion Flat Iron 1-1/4"This flat iron is excellent!! My hair is wavy and can get frizzy easily, so I was not sure any flat iron would truly work. I was amazed how straight and smooth my hair was after using the solia. I would recommend this product to anyone!posted Nov 9, 2004Link to this post

Zachary R BiegunIthaca, NYWorks GreatI had always wanted a CHI, and frequently borrowed my friends CHIs. However, Im glad I bought this flat iron instead. First, its cheaper than CHI. Second, I think it works better. My hair is smoother and sleeker using the Solia, as compared to CHI. Ive borrowed a lot of my friends flat irons, Hai, Wigo, Hot Tools, CHI, CHI TURBO, you name it, Ive probably tried it, and I like this one the best. This is a great buy on a flat iron that works great.1 out of 1 shoppers thought this review wasn't helpful.

LesleyYou Have To Try This Flat Iron!!!!Hi All!I decided to purchase the Solia Flat iron as I have terribly frizzy hair due to hair loss. Now that my hair is growing back (and incredibly wavy I might add), I have tons of flyaways, my hair looks damaged and my current flat iron doesnt tame my hair at all . I ordered this iron late Sunday night and it was delivered to me (in Edmonton, Canada) by that Tuesday afternoon (which totally impressed me)...then I actually tried the iron! Its amazing...my flyaways are tamed, my hair is stick straight and it looks so healthy! (I havent even used the highest setting either!) Its a great investment (even with the exchange rate!)I would definitely recommend this flat iron!!! Cheers!

AniEl Cerrito, CASolia Flat IronI have to use a flat iron if I want to wear my hair down. There is just no way of getting around that fact because my hair is curly, but not curly enough to the point that all I have to do is put some gel and be done. It takes too much work and product to make it look even half decent, so I use a flat iron. My hair also has been through so much in terms of hair color so it is fragile. I have been using a metal iron and it is so damaging and I read some reviews of this product and thought that I had to try it. I really like it a lot. I do not feel that it is damaging at all and I like how it glides easily from root to tip. It is very easy to handle and heats up evenly and quickly. I do not get the silky results that I have read others get, which is why I bought it and is why I do not give it 5 stars. This may be becasue I do not turn it up high enough, but I was expecting it to be super silky and I still cannot achieve that. I think that this may be becasue of my hair color, but I read others who had this issue too and it worked for them, so I dont know.Otherwise, it is a great investment and I have no regrets at all. It is very worth the money for the minimal damgage alone! I highly reccommend it and I have tried in excess of 6 different kinds of irons that I have all returned. This one is staying!!

Jennifer GavinNew YorkWow!I havent owned a hair drier for over a decade because I have no ability to style my hair without it being frizzy. This iron allowed me to have a salon look in twenty minutes! It has taken salons 2.5 hours to do my hair, and I did it all by myself! UPS took waaay too long to deliver it, but Folica overnighted it to me when I told them of the problem.

Apple's OS X Snow Leopard, which shipped in August 2009, continued to resist retirement last month, new data showed.
January statistics from Web analytics vendor Net Applications pegged Snow Leopard's share of all Macs at 28.2 percent, half a point higher than the 27.7 percent recorded by OS X Lion.
[ Take the Mac OS X Lion IQ test. | Also on InfoWorld: For tips and tools for managing an enterprise Mac fleet, download InfoWorld's free "Business Mac" Deep Dive PDF special report today. | See InfoWorld's slideshow tour of OS X Mountain Lion's top 25 features and test your Apple smarts with our Apple IQ test: Round 2. | Keep up with key Apple technologies with the Technology: Apple newsletter. ]
It was the fourth month in a row that Snow Leopard has been in second place, behind the newest edition, OS X Mountain Lion, but ahead of 2011's Lion.
The numbers illustrate the persistence of Snow Leopard, which has gained a reputation as Apple's version of Microsoft's Windows XP, an OS that stubbornly sticks around.
Meanwhile, Mountain Lion, which Apple shipped in July 2012, again gained ground last month at the expense of its predecessors, ending January in the No. 1 position with 34.5 percent of all Macs.
Approximately 7 percent of Mac owners ran 2009's OS X Leopard in January.
Mountain Lion will not remain at the top for long. Apple has committed to an annual operating system upgrade cycle, meaning that OS X 10.9 -- which has not yet been tagged with a feline moniker -- will likely launch this summer.
Unlike Microsoft, Apple has consistently convinced a significant portion of its customers to quickly upgrade to the newest operating system. Unless that pattern changes, by this time next year OS X 10.9 will be the most-used edition.
Snow Leopard users, however, have been more reluctant to upgrade than those running Lion, and the accumulating data hints at a longer-than-usual life for OS X 10.6.
Many have declared that they would not abandon Snow Leopard because it was the last that let users run applications compiled for the PowerPC processor. Although Rosetta, the translation utility that allows PowerPC software to run on Intel-based Macs, is not installed by default on OS X 10.6, it does automatically install the first time a PowerPC program executes. Neither Lion or Mountain Lion support Rosetta, and so are unable to run PowerPC applications.
But Snow Leopard users face a new security challenge this year: Oracle has just provided the final update for Java 6, and without Oracle's help, Apple will undoubtedly also halt its Java security work.

Lewis, the more formal and phonetic spelling of the French Louis has been the Number 1 or 2 name in Scotland since 2000, and is one that parents in the U.S. are just beginning to rethink.
Lewis was a Top 100 name in this country from 1880 to 1930, reaching Number 30 in 1880. One of its most famous namesakes is Lewis Carroll--born Charles; a current bearer is comedian Lewis Black. Lewis is also a very common surname, as in Lewis & Clark, Jerry Lewis, Jerry Lee Lewis, Daniel Day Lewis, Sinclair Lewis, Leona Lewis, and many other notables. Louis Armstrong pronounced his first name as Lewis.
Nickname/middle name Lou is making a comeback for girls (as in Keri Russell's Willa Lou), so why not Lew for boys?

A Mesa woman has been sentenced to 12 years in prison in the 2008 death of her 3-year-old niece.
34-year-old Latisha L. Breckenridge pleaded guilty to manslaughter in August.
Breckenridge was arrested by Mesa police in April 2008 on suspicion
of second-degree murder and child abuse in the death of Juliana Ruiz.
Police say Breckenridge originally told investigators the girl fell off a recliner and stopped breathing on March 19, 2008.
The girl was taken to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
The county Medical Examiner's Office say an autopsy showed the
child's death wasn't caused by the fall described by Breckenridge.
Police interviewed Breckenridge again and say she admitted to getting angry with the girl and grabbing, pushing and tossing her.
