I think that Ken, Laurel's dad showed that perhaps there is room for forgiveness in all of this....when he stated that he wasn't disappointed the sentence was longer. I am sure horrible is an understatement to what this family has been going through and as we make way for spring, and new beginnings let us all try and remember that we are human beings, all tiny children at one time with no malice in our hearts...nor did Katie have that in her heart and for sure Laurel's death, while a tragedy will save lives eventually. My heart truly goes out to the family and friends and please people, lets not use this string to cause any more pain in words, blaming as what happened in October...No my words are not the only that should be spoken, I just hope that people can try and find in their hearts that Katie is just as torn up on the inside, more than anyone will see, and hating heals no one..God Bless all..

Laurel's dad, Ken, is an amazing man who has suffered a true tragedy. He has dealt with the whole experience in his own, graceful, compassionate way, showing forgiveness while honoring his little girl. He is one to be admired.

I'm not meaning to be critical or supportive of the plea deal, but does anyone know if four years is in-line with other cases involving similar crimes?

Book Industry Reflecting on Life After Harry PotterHarry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
Despite all the recent good news about "The Wizard World of Harry Potter" Theme Park coming to Universal Studios in Florida, there is other news today about the books. As BookExpo America, a huge industry convention promoting new books and authors, starts today in New York City, publishers are reflecting on life after the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallowsas the USA Today reports:
"I don't know if we are ever going to see anything like Harry Potter again in children's or even adult books," says Paul Crichton of Simon & Schuster Children's Books. "Harry will be missed like there is no tomorrow. But publishers have to forge ahead and move on. What Harry Potter and J.K. Rowling have done is incredible. To lose something that strong is going to have an impact."
Scholastic, which is set to kick off the Knight Bus tour this weekend in New York will be attending the book fair, and while they will not be revealing new hints about the last Harry Potter book, the AP reports "those stopping by the Scholastic, Inc., booth will have to settle for Potter bags." The anticipation for Deathly Hallows and Harry Potter has been important to the US publishers, as the question remains as to what happens next after the release of the last book.
During a Harry Potter year, sales of the book account for 8% of the company's revenue, says Scholastic's Lisa Holton.
Holton says the end of the series doesn't mean the end of Harry Potter. She calls the books a "modern classic" that will join other children's classics as perennial sellers.
Then there's the question of what Rowling will do next. On her website, under Frequently Asked Questions, she writes: "I might do an eighth book for charity, a kind of encyclopedia of the world so that I could use all the extra material that's not in the books ⦠we'll see!"
But in an e-mail, her agent, the Christopher Little Literary Agency, said Rowling's quote was "posted on her website some years ago. ⦠Ms. Rowling has not yet revealed what her next plans are."

You're right it is outrageous but this is what the media has become. Have a show on TV then say something outrageous to pimp the ratings. And I'm guessing BRS wouldn't give a **** what the whiney needy attention whoring cvntheads think. Hell, deep down she probably wouldn't mind him knocking the back out of her. She's just jealous and George is getting senile.
BRS has probably "engaged" better people than either of them will ever be.

What's Your Favorite Kind of Pizza?
What's Your Favorite Kind of Pizza?
by POPSUGAR Food 33 Reactions 0 Shares Print
This weekend a bunch of my friends and I got together for a simple get together. It was already pretty late by the time we got around to talking about dinner, so we decided that pizza would be the best option. However, it took us forever to agree on toppings (I personally like tomatoes, garlic and fresh basil), that it was almost a bigger hassle.
So how about you, what do you like on your pizza?

I like Cecil Whittakers supreme or classic or whatever its called. It's a local St. Louis pizzeria and I've been meaning to go get me a pie for some time now. It's been too long (thus I cannot even remember what its called). Provel cheese, bacon, onion, green peppers, and some other stuff = weird local pizza perfection. Can't get it ANYWHERE else. :)

I had this great pizza recently (name doesn't matter, it was just the name of the restaurant because it's their specialty): cheese, a lot of black olives, basil, tomatoes, and red peppers...Delicious!

nothing beats a good ole new york slice. i missed pizza and bagels most when i was at school upstate. but i found a good place that made brick oven pizzas with gourmet toppings. my 2 favorites: -pesto, feta, a bit of fontina, kalamata olives -caramelized onions, wild mushrooms, mozzarella, and i have a sneaking suspicion they added a bit of nutmeg soooo very yum.

i LOVE the tostada pizza from california pizza kitchen! crust, black beans and cheese topped with shredded lettuce crunchy tortilla chip strips and drizzled with ranch dressing. yuuummm (i get it w/o onions and salsa) otherwise..if you havent tried pizza with green olives (most places dont offer this) you are missing out! easy to make at home though if you wanna try...

My favorite is the AGOG Primo at a local place here, Pagliacci Pizza: Fontina and mozzarella cheeses, roasted garlic, mushrooms, fresh tomatoes, goat cheese, parsley and Kalamata olives on an olive oil base

I am a pizza FIEND! The best pizza is baked in a super-duper old brick oven, and thin-crust. My favorite pizza comes from New Haven CT (and yes, I've had NYC pizza, having lived there for nearly 6 years; NY pizza is good but not as good as my fave pizza from a place called Modern Apizza in New Haven). And I agree, if the ingredients and technique are good enough, then cheese is the only topping you need. Having said that, I recently had an amazing pie with chunks of roasted garlic and basil on top. Unbelievably good!

I go veg all the way. Red sauce, white sauce, red and white, it doesn't matter! I just tried anchovies on my last pizza pie last month, and it was absolutely delish! Then again, I've acquired a taste for anchovies on my Caesar salad about a year ago. Veggie Power!* *Anchovies Optional.

I agree about the pineapple and cheese. Pineapple and black olive is suprisingly good too, if the olives aren't too tinny tasting. Otherwise, you can't go wrong with margherita.

Audi Presented a New Urban Concept Car
Audi designed a brand new urban concept car that doesn't fit into any current automobile category. The electric powered show vehicle weighs only 480 kilograms and combines elements of a racecar, a roadster, a fun car and a city car.
The question behind the concept was: 'How much car is necessary to deliver driving pleasure and urban mobility in an entirely new way?' During the process of creation, developers were inspired by a model of a sailplane that was in the studio as an example of lightweight construction, efficiency and reduction.
This resulted in a vehicle with the action radius of 73 km in the European driving cycle . It works on a battery that recharges completely in about 20 minutes with 400 volt three-phase current, and in approximately one hour with 230 volt household current.
The cabin of the Audi urban concept offers seating for two. Traditional doors are replaced by a sliding roof that can also remain open in good weather. The roofline drops down like a wedge while the side window rises upward. The front segment of the greenhouse is movable. Mounted on rails, it can be slid back by hand over the fixed rear segment.
Sitting in the car is somewhat like sitting in an airplane cockpit. The seating position is very sporty, explains the official press release. The entire interior of the technology study is strictly dictated by the ultra-lightweight construction.
An innovative mat covers parts of the floor, instead of a carpet. This is made from a technical textile originally developed for athletic shoes that is water repellant and very durable.
The Audi urban concept uses pushrod technology borrowed from motorsports. The turning circle measures less than nine meters, which makes it ideal for a city. An innovative assistance system helps the driver to avoid collisions with pedestrians. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 16.9 seconds with the top speed governed at 100 km/h.
The new car also has the Audi Wireless Charging (AWC) technology, which refers to contactless induction charging. AWC is not affected by weather conditions and makes charging electric vehicles easy and convenient.
Mercedez-Benz has just introduced its eco-friendly alternative to modern urban cars—the F125! model with the emission-free driving system.

Open Thread: Reconciliation in Nebraska
It's become quite a bit of a refrain among liberal journalists that nefarious conservatives are unwilling to compromise and unite with more moderate GOPers in order to "get things done," yet in many cases, the very opposite is true. In several recent elections, conservative unknowns have scored the primary victory (think Sharron Angle) and gone on to receive only tepid establishment support despite calls for "unity." That does not appear to be happening in the state of Nebraska after Deb Fischer defeated two better known candidates, Jon Bruning and Don Stenberg, to receive the Republican nomination for that state's federal Senate race.
Instead of whining like Indiana Republican Dick Lugar did after he went down in defeat, Bruning and Stenberg are banding together to support Fischer's candidacy:
Attorney General Jon Bruning and State Treasurer Don Stenberg stood behind state Sen. Deb Fischer as she accepted kudos for her big upset Tuesday night in the U.S. Senate primary and vowed to defeat Democrat Bob Kerrey in November
Republican Party Chairman Mark Fahleson acknowledged the rough campaign, but said primary battles prepare candidates for the bigger battle ahead.
"Republicans believe that competition is a good thing; it makes us better," he said.
GOP headquarters was filled with public and party officials such as Speaker Mike Flood, who supported Bruning. Also there: national committeeman Pete Ricketts, whose father bankrolled a last-minute blitz of TV ads blasting Bruning and boosting Fischer. And there was Gov. Dave Heineman, who didn't endorse anyone.
Heineman said he didn't endorse a candidate in the U.S. Senate race because Stenberg, Bruning and Fischer are "three very good friends" and he wanted to be in a position to unite the candidates and party "so we can go forward to defeat Bob Kerrey in November."
Bruning and Fischer both looked bleary-eyed and even teary-eyed at times during the press conference – with Bruning looking off to the side during most of the press conference, avoiding eye contact with the roomful of observers and reporters. He and Fischer embraced at one point. Asked what he thought of the election results, he declined to comment, saying everything was water under the bridge and "This is Deb's day."
"I'm 100 percent behind her," Bruning said. "This is about how we can get together and beat Bob Kerrey."
With much-lower name recognition than Kerrey, Fischer has her work cut out for her. As it stands, this is a seat that the GOP has a chance to flip to its count, however.

Lapdogs will go out of their way to avoid reporting signs of "unity" among GOPers.
Concerning NE Senate primary, late reports brought Deb Fischer to the top, those familiar with the state would have known that if she was close in the early returns(eastern NE) she would likely win given her heavier support in western NE.
That said, I saw one headline, I kid you not:
"Kerrey wins Primary"

New Unemployment Numbers
Submitted by bkeyser on Thu, 05/17/2012 - 10:23am.
unchanged at 370k after last week's claims were revised up to 370k -of course.
This, from an unbylined piece by the AP:
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The number of people seeking U.S. unemployment benefits was unchanged last week, suggesting modest but steady gains in the job market.
The decline suggests hiring could pick up in May after slumping in the previous two months. When applications drop below 375,000 a week, it generally suggests hiring is strong enough to lower the unemployment rate.
I think MS Online has a Word template you can download that has this already in it. You just need to insert the date from a drop-down.

The Dem'o Publican combine has led us to deficits, wars of aggression, big bureaucracy and dictatorship by executive order. The RINO Lugar was one of those isle crossers that was more interested in making the Libs in the Dem Party happy than keeping his oath of office to the Constitution.He is gone perhaps to follow in the footsteps of Trent Lott to lobby for Liberal causes like promoting the Law of the Sea Treaty that Lugar loved so well.
If Fischer beats the Democrat in November we shall see how well she does at upholding her oath to the Constituion.

Will Smith is the latest
Submitted by NC Cop on Thu, 05/17/2012 - 12:07pm.
Will Smith is the latest entertainer to WANT higher taxes. Apparently, he doesn't want to pay too much in taxes.
"I have no issue with paying taxes and whatever needs to be done for my country to grow. I believe very firmly that my ability to sit here—I'm a black man who didn't go to college, yet I get to travel around the world and sell my movies, and I believe very firmly that America is the only place on Earth that I could exist," Smith said. "So I will pay anything that I need to pay to keep my country growing."
That's sweet, Will, but how much would you be willing to pay???
"That's when the interviewer mentioned that France could have a 75 percent tax rate on income over 1 million euros.
"Seventy-five?" Smith gasped. "Yeah, that's different, that's different. Yeah, 75. Well, you know, God bless America."
Welcome to the reality of socialism, Will, glad you could join us.

The whole problem is what is stated at the end of that blog/article -- that we'll never really, truly know so many important things about this man in the White House. Who is he, really? The story of his life is always half-baked and with miss ingredients to boot.
In large part, I do blame the media and other protectors/cover-uppers (whatever you want to call them) -- people who promote his advancement and his vision of what America should be. Really, O is like a chameleon, and that's the way the media and those who advance his causes seem to want it.

Pro-Football Stars Featured in New Bible Product
[size=12pt]Pro-Football Stars Featured in New Bible Product [/size]
By Aaron J. Leichman
Christian Post Reporter
Thu, Jan. 22 2009 12:59 PM EST
new football-themed Scripture product has been released in time for what is expected to be among the most-watched U.S. television broadcasts of the year if not the most-watched.
As sports fans prepare for the fast-approaching Super Bowl, International Bible Society (IBS) Publishing is announcing the release of its football-themed "Path to Victory" New Testament featuring the testimonies of football greats including recently retired Indianapolis Colts head coach Tony Dungy and Super Bowl-bound quarterback Kurt Warner of the Arizona Cardinals, whose team will face off against the Pittsburgh Steelers for the NFL championship game on Feb. 1...
The football edition of "Path to Victory,†one of six sports-themed outreach products, combines the Today's New International Version (TNIV) Bible translation with 32 pages of full-color inserts and first-person stories of professional football players testifying to the power of Scripture to bring life change.
In addition to Dungy and Warner, the new sports-themed product includes the testimonies of Minnesota Vikings safety Michael Boulware, Atlanta Falcons placekicker Jason Elam, former Carolina Panthers defensive back Mike Minter, and Indiana Colts punter Hunter Smith....Get your facts first, and then you can distort them as much as you please. Mark Twain
Re: Pro-Football Stars Featured in New Bible Product
I have a sports Bible.
The cover kind of looks like a football and it is filled with testimonials.
I like it a lot.

Review submitted: August 11, 2014 Date of arrival: August 10, 2014
This property was large enough to house all 10 of our family comfortably. The water inlet is right outside the back door with a personal beach, large deck, firepit and great fishing. We loved its close proximity to downtown Traverse City and all it has to offer. The kayaks and paddle boat kept our older kids busy. The owners were extremely accommodating. Thanks to Lois and Don for a relaxing week.

Weekend Getaway
Review submitted: May 22, 2011 Date of arrival: May 20, 2011
We just returned from a weekend getaway to Traverse City. Our party consisted of four couples and a three month old baby.....and this was a perfect home for us. The bedroom options were perfect and the bed sizes work perfectly for a large group. We found the home very convenient to town as well as a relaxing and fun place to hang out and enjoy our mini vacation. The owners are close by and more than helpful. They should be considered a bonus to this rental! On a little inlet off Silver Lake, we were blessed to enjoy a start to the day with a nice paddle boat ride to the lake......and cap it off with a view of the sunset on the deck......a nice little campfire on the beach on the property......and our weekend was perfect. Lots of room to spread out and enjoy. Situated in a nice residential area, if you are looking for a nice getaway.....this is it! Also, If you want to enjoy the best Pizza near this rental.....you HAVE to try "That's a Pizza"!! Buy one large or x-large and get the second half off.....it was an amazing deal for an amazing Pizza! Enjoyed on the deck just before sunset with good friends......made it even better! Moomers on the way out of town for ice cream was a very nice way to end this great weekend! Thank you to the owners of this property.....we appreciated your hospitality!

Review submitted: March 24, 2011 Date of arrival: August 14, 2010
My family and I stayed for one week in this cottage, and had an amazing time. There was space enough for 4 families, with 2 kids in 3 of the four families. We got to see Traverse City, and Lake Michigan, which arent't far from the cottage. It was quiet, and peaceful, and well worth the price of admission, to put it in another way. If you want good family fun, or you just want a peaceful get away with yourself and a loved one, this is the place! Oh yeah, the owners are very nice and friendly people, and just happen to live close if you need anything.

Press Release Waynesboro Police Department
Update - October 2, 2012
The driver of the vehicle involved in the shooting incident surrendered himself at the Waynesboro Police Department on October 1 after a lengthy extradition battle in West Virginia.
Jayson Michael Herron, 22 years old, of Elkins, WV was arrested on May 1 in Elkins on a fugitive from justice warrant for three felony charges connected with the shooting of Jeremiah James Woodson, then 36 years old.
Initially, Herron fought extradition on the charges of acting as an accessory to a malicious wounding; acting as an accessory to use of a firearm in the commission of a felony; and hit and run involving personal injury. Eventually, an agreement was struck in which Herron dropped his attempt to fight extradition and was given a bond on being a fugitive.
In addition, Herron was ordered to surrender himself to the Waynesboro Police Department on yesterday's date.
Herron was driving the Ford Focus that Bridge was in when he shot Woodson. After the shooting, Herron struck Woodson with the vehicle while he was still on the ground as he and Bridge were attempting to flee.
Herron was released on a $5000 bond. He is scheduled for a preliminary hearing on December 3, 2012 in Waynesboro General District Court.
One additional person connected to the incident remains at large. Nathaniel Phillip Harris, 22 years old, was indicted by a Waynesboro grand jury on two felony counts of distribution of an imitation drug stemming from the shooting incident. Anyone with information on Harris' whereabouts is asked to call Central Shenandoah Crimes Stoppers at 1(800)322-2017.
Previous Release – April 9, 2012:
Samuel Kevin Bridge and Ashley Nicole Knight are both in custody. Both suspects were taken into custody today at 1528 hours in Buckhannon, West Virginia by U.S. Marshalls, West Virginia State Police, and Upshur County Sheriff's Office. They were located in a wooded area off of Carper Road in Buckhannon.
They are currently being held at Tygart Valley Regional Jail in Bellington, West Virginia. They are awaiting extradition.
The Waynesboro Police Department thanks all the jurisdictions and individuals that have assisted with this case. Agencies that have assisted in this case Augusta County Sheriff's Office, Rockingham County Sheriff's Office, Grottoes Police Department, Page County Sheriff's Office, Luray Police Department, New Market Police Department, Shenandoah County Sheriff's Office, Mt. Jackson Police Department, West Virginia State Police, Upshur County Sheriff's Office in West Virginia, and the U.S. Marshal's Service. It is through team work that this case has been furthered and these wanted individuals apprehended.
Previous Release – April 3, 2012
On 4/3/12, at approximately 0238hrs, the Waynesboro Police Department responded to Quadrangle Apartments located at 901 4th Street in reference to a shooting.
Upon arrival, a 36 year old male victim of a gunshot wound was found lying in the parking lot. He was subsequently transported by the Waynesboro First Aid Crew to Augusta Health then transferred to UVA hospital for further treatment. His last reported status was he is in critical condition.
The suspect in the case had left the area prior to police arrival. The car the suspect was driving is possibly a dark green or blue 4 door sedan with unknown tags. A further description of the suspect was not available at time of this release. Initial reports are the suspect and victim are acquaintances and this was not a random act.

Wikipedia Meaning and Definition on 'Confabulation'
In psychology, confabulation is the spontaneous narrative report of events that never happened. It consists of the creation of false memories, perceptions, or beliefs about the self or the environment - usually as a result of neurological or psychological dysfunction. With respect to memory, wild confabulations about one's past are rare in the absence of organic causes (e.g., brain damage), and the term "confabulation" is often restricted to these types of distortions. In contrast, even neurologically intact people are susceptible to memory errors or confusions due to psychological causes (see false memory).
Berlyne (1972) defined confabulation as "...a falsification of memory occurring in clear consciousness in association with an organically derived amnesia". He distinguished between:[See more about Confabulation at Dictionary 3.0 Encyclopedia]

In our new video series, "In the Trenches," Pro Football Weekly is trying to decide which team has the best offense in the NFL. We're leaving it up to the fans to decide. We've matched up the top eight offenses in the league in a head-to-head bracket. The first first-round matchup has the Eagles facing off against the Lions.
Here's a sampling of what PFW's editors had to say:
Senior editor Eric Edholm:
"For me, it comes down to balance. The Eagles will be less turnover-prone, especially in the red zone, with an improved defense. Michael Vick too often felt the pressure to make all the plays himself early in the season, and he realized that he has enough tools around him to distribute the wealth, find the open man and let the playmakers do their thing. RB LeSean McCoy is vastly better than any Lions back, and they are all injury-prone. I love Calvin Johnson, but the Eagles have more difference makers catching the ball."
Associate editor Arthur Arkush:
"My pick is the Eagles for the simple fact that Philly's offense has two explosive dimensions while Detroit lacks the ability to move the ball on the ground. In addition to Shady McCoy, Michael Vick remains one of the more potent running quarterbacks in football, in addition to being able to strike downfield with home-run hitters like DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin."
Associate editor Kevin Fishbain:
"Eagles. It's all about Shady McCoy. He gives Philly a dynamic rushing attack that allows them a more balanced offense than Detroit. The Eagles also have more depth among their pass catchers than the Lions."
Associate editor Eli Kaberon:
"There may not be an offense with better balance than the Eagles. Take away their deep passing game, and they'll hit you underneath with screens. Play up, and their speedy wideouts will go long. Take away the passing game completely, and RB LeSean McCoy has running lanes. And don't forget dual-threat QB Michael Vick, who still may be the best in the NFL at making something out of nothing."
Editor-in-chief Keith Schleiden:
"Both the Detroit and Philly offenses are crazy productive and capable of putting up impressive numbers even against the NFL's better defenses. Each features a big-time quarterback (when healthy) and some dynamic weapons at receiver. However, the edge has to go to the Eagles because of their running game, led by the versatile LeSean McCoy."
Senior editor Mike Wilkening:
"The Eagles get the edge, and it comes down to one player: RB LeSean McCoy. He's a difference maker, one of the game's top backs, and he gives the Eagles' offense a dimension the Lions' attack so often lacks — a strong running game."
Associate editor Dan Parr:
"There's no topping the Stafford-to-Johnson connection, but Detroit's deficiencies at running back and a so-so offensive line cannot be overlooked. Philadelphia has much better balance and that gives them a slight edge."
Managing editor Mike Holbrook:
"Philly doesn't have a combination as consistently lethal as Matthew Stafford to Calvin Johnson, but the Eagles have the deeper, more talented offense — at every position. I'd like to see Michael Vick get back to his 2010 form and I want to see how the Eagles make up for the loss of Pro Bowl OLT Jason Peters, but still, the Eagles are the choice."

Clint Bowyer Race Summary:No. 15 Toyota Camry driver Clint Bowyer finished 18th in Sunday's Aaron's 499 NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Talladega Superspeedway. The Michael Waltrip Racing driver started 20th after qualifying was cancelled on Saturday due to rain and the starting lineup was set according to the NASCAR rule book. Bowyer immediately dropped to the back of the field to avoid any potential early race wrecks. As rain approached the racetrack just past the races half-way point, Bowyer raced his way through the field and into sixth position by the time rain started to fall. The race was red-flagged for three hours and 36 minutes due to rain in the area. When the race restarted with just more than 62 laps remaining, Bowyer again dropped to the rear of the field. He raced his way back into the top-five with about 10 laps remaining when he was involved in a 12 car pileup on the backstretch. The No. 15 PEAK Motor Oil Toyota received extensive damage and was forced to make several pit stops before the final green-white-checkered finish. Bowyer restarted in 18th and finished 18th in the closing laps. Bowyer and his MWR team return to action Saturday night at Darlington driving the No. 15 RK Motors Toyota.
• Started 20th and finished 18th.
• Dropped to the back for the first half of the race.
• Raced his way to sixth by the time the race was delayed for rain.
• Dropped to the back following the rain delay.
• Raced into the top-five when involved in a 12 car wreck with 10 laps to go.
BOWYER: "That was not the day we were hoping for. We had a great Toyota and I thought I waited it out and put myself in position for the win, but I got caught up in the final big mess. I hate that for the PEAK folks – we really wanted to give them a great finish today. I also would have loved a chance there at the end, but this is restrictor plate racing and unfortunately this happens sometimes at the end of a plate race. We'll be better next weekend in Darlington."

Common Core Standards in schools across the country resulted from state leaders and educators coming together to develop a plan.
In 2010, states started making the decision to adopt those standards
North Dakota adopted the standards just a year after that.
Kelli Volk takes us to the classroom where North Dakota's new english and math standards are currently being taught.
(Mark Rylander, MPS Math Instructor)"All your semester tests, all your teachers are going to start writing your semester tests with the common core and the state assessment test in mind."
That's the lesson plan moving forward for North Dakota schools and schools across the country.
Minot High School math instructor is one of many teachers, trying to tackle the learning curve posed by North Dakota's new math and english standards based on the common core..
(Mark Rylander, MPS Math Instructor)"More story problems, a lot more applications, some projects and those kinds of things. What we teach, how we teach, it's changed quite a bit."
Common core state standards were developed through collaboration state leaders and education professionals from across the country.
North Dakota adopted new math and english standards in 2011, implemented in 2013, and now set the level of expectation for students in grades k-12.
(Kirsten Baesler, ND Superintendent of Public Instruction)"They are strictly standards. Things that students should know and be able to do by the end of each grade level and they are simply math and language arts."
The push for higher expectations results from past students being unprepared for college and the career field.
(Kirsten Baesler, ND Superintendent of Public Instruction)"The purpose of them is to deal with the fact that too many of our students need remediation that first year of college and career. They're not ready to take college-ready courses. And so, K-12 responded and said we need to provide more rigorous, more challenging, more critical thinking and problem solving standards and expectations for our students in kindergarten through 12th grade."
The formula to reach these standards includes a different teaching approach--instructors are not only outlining how to find the answers, but they work is relevant.
(Mark Rylander, MPS Math Instructor)"We want kids to become better critical thinkers. We want them to be able to apply what they've learned. It's going to be multiple step problems and that's one of the big pushes towards common core as well. We want kids to be able to think, get an answer, take that answer, apply it to another situation."
(Kirsten Baesler, ND Superintendent of Public Instruction)"It's much more of a practical application. That's the math change. In the English area, there is more emphasis on informational text. Being able to draw out, read informational text and have evidence to support or refute a certain idea. Some of the recommended texts are the Gettysburg address and informational ideas."
The standards have received mixed grades from their critics and supporters.
However, the true test results will be available in 2015 when the state assessment is conducted.
