This bitter cold weather isn't just uncomfortable, it can also be a threat to your health, if you're not careful. Hypothermia and frostbite are not uncommon problems in these types of cold snaps.
With these sub-zero temps and the wind, hypothermia and frostbite can set in very quickly for both humans and pets.
Doctors say the best advice is that you and your pets don't stay out for long. And if you have to be outside- take indoor breaks often.
The sun might have been shining outside, but it certainly didn't feel like it's rays did anything to help fight this cold snap. Doctors say the elderly and children are those most at risk for hypothermia and frostbite.
"When you get outdoors and you feel pain, if your fingers start to hurt or your ears start to hurt, then you're one step before frostbite. It's when the pain goes away that you're probably in trouble," says Dr. George Knowles of St. Joseph Regional Medical Center.
Dr. Knowles says multiple layers of clothing are the best way to go. And he says if you get wet or sweaty, you should change your clothes as soon as you possible. "As the cold goes on and people that are working in the cold- then workers who have wet feet, socks, hands, gloves-- they'll be at risk for frostbite on the fingers and toes," says Knowles.
And pets, just like people, need the same attention when it comes to the cold weather. "The thing we worry about most is the wind chill. If it's below zero, we just recommend that we don't stay outside. They can go outside and do their business and that's about it," says Dr. Jeff Vogl with University Park Veterinary Hospital.
And when you're dog comes back inside, Vogl recommends rinsing his or her paws of ice and salt. Buildup can be painful.
"The salt is irritating to their paws, so you want to rinse them off. The dogs who have feathers- we have to shave the bottom of their feet so the snow can't accumulate- and that's quite painful for them," adds Vogl.
And if you're not careful, whether you're man or man's best friend, frostbite and hypothermia can lead to lost extremities; or even worse, it can be deadly.
Some advice from ER doctors, drink plenty of fluids. Dr. Knowles says similar to the very hot weather, the arctic air literally sucks the fluids right out of us. As of Monday at St. Joe Regional Medical Center, they fortunately have not had to treat anyone for frostbite and hypothermia. They want to keep it that way, especially with more bitter cold days ahead.

When just 16-years-old, Jasmine was forced to fend for herself when Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) targeted her undocumented parents. Going to high school during the day and working at night, she couldn't make ends meet and suffered extreme poverty and oppressive loneliness. When a local United Methodist congregation discovered her plight, they responded with love, acceptance and support; Jasmine, in turn, dedicated herself to giving back to the community. This is a story that illustrates the brokenness of the current immigration system and the need for people of faith to respond. For more information: http://RethinkChurch.org/Immigration/

A letter penned by a retiring Syracuse, N.Y., social studies teacher is getting a lot of reaction since it hit the web this week.
Westhill High School teacher Jerry Conti sent this letter to the Board of Education. (He also posted it on his Facebook page, which is why so many people have read it and sent it around.)
Here it is:
It is with the deepest regret that I must retire at the close of this school year, ending my more than 27 years of service at Westhill on June 30, under the provisions of the 2012-15 contract. I assume that I will be eligible for any local or state incentives that may be offered prior to my date of actual retirement and I trust that I may return to the high school at some point as a substitute teacher.
As with Lincoln and Springfield, I have grown from a young to an old man here; my brother died while we were both employed here; my daughter was educated here, and I have been touched by and hope that I have touched hundreds of lives in my time here. I

Reaching Wider initiative
HEFCW established the Reaching Wider initiative in 2002 to break down perceived barriers and widen access to learning. The Wales-wide initiative supports social inclusion and economic up-skilling.
Reaching Wider aims to increase higher education participation from groups and communities in Wales by raising aspirations, and creating new study opportunities and learning pathways to higher education. It engages with four main groups of people of all ages who are currently under-represented in higher education. The Welsh Government has set targets for two of the groups, while targets for disabled students and black and ethnic minority communities are to be agreed:
People living in Communities First areas
People who wish to study through the medium of Welsh
Four regional Reaching Wider Partnerships have been established to co-ordinate activities in North Wales, West and Mid Wales, South West Wales and South East Wales, and ensure local skills are used to provide relevant learning opportunities for local people.
All higher and further education institutions in Wales are members of Reaching Wider partnerships. Other regional partners include local authorities, schools, the voluntary sector, the Open University in Wales and Careers Wales.

A 3-year-old boy suffered life-threatening injuries after falling out a third-story window on Saturday.
Seattle Police said the boy fell out of the window in the 5000 block of 30th Ave. NE.
The child was taken to the hospital; his condition was not immediately known.
"Right when we walked out," described eyewitness Brian Parker, "I looked up and I saw the open window and I thought, I hope it wasn't a kid that fell out."
Parker added one of the first people to respond was a head and neck surgeon, who was able to help stabilize the child.
The Seattle Fire Department said the victim likely suffered multiple fractures to his head and neck and was at Harborview Medical Center in critical condition.
UW Medicine says every year, 30 to 50 children are treated at Harborview Medical Center for injuries caused by falls from windows.
They say window screens do not keep children from falling. They are designed to pop out for fire safety and can be pushed out by the weight of a toddler.
Seattle Children's Hospital offers the following tips:
- Move furniture away from windows.
- Install window guards or stops on windows. Kids can fall from windows open as little as five inches.
- Don't rely on window screens – screens keep bugs out, but they don't keep kids in.
- If you don't have window guards or stops, keep windows latched.
- Watch young children closely.

CHOP has always been committed to providing high quality primary care to patients in our own backyard as well as around the world. Through a generous donation by Athena and Nicholas Karabots, we have built a new, state-of-the-art Primary Care Center at 48th and Market streets. Our Primary Care Centers at 36th and Market streets and 39th and Chestnut streets merged to form this new center that provides primary and preventive healthcare services to underserved children in the West Philadelphia area. Care Network sites in South Philadelphia and Cobbs Creek will remain open to provide services to children in those areas.
Nicholas Karabots is the Chairman of the Spartan Organization, Inc. and its family of companies, which includes Kappa Publishing Group Inc., the largest publisher of puzzle magazines in the nation. He and his family are well known for their philanthropic efforts. The Karabots have made major contributions to create the Karabots Center for MRI Diagnostics at Montgomery Hospital and contributed to various causes that focus on youth and inner cities. The Karabots Foundation has been a major contributor to the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
The Nicholas and Athena Karabots Pediatric Care Center opened in January 2013.
We will work closely with the community and its leaders to make a positive impact by providing quality pediatric care and sharing resources to meet the needs of families in West Philadelphia.
Part of the planning process for this new Center was to consider the existing children's health providers in West Philadelphia, and determine if there is enough need for the pediatric services it will provide. We are certain that the new facility will benefit families, and will enhance the care that is currently provided in this community, rather than replace it.

The Preparation Gap
Many in Hawaii remain unprepared for the workplace, but education programs are making progress
(page 1 of 2)
DETERMINATION: At 41, Angelique Shields enrolled at the Windward Community College Employment Center to obtain business skills she never received as a young student.
Sergio Goes
Every new hire for an entry-level job at City Mill must pass an elementary math exam. The exam has questions such as how the fraction 1/4 is written as a decimal and how many quarters, dimes, nickels and pennies should be given in change for a particular transaction.
Applicants are given 25 questions in all; they can miss seven and still pass.
Nearly half fail on their first try.
The test isn't designed to be tricky, says Steven Ai, company president and CEO. "Our test is everyday things—real life type of things. About four years ago, we allowed them to use calculators. They still do struggle even with calculators."
With all the talk of creating more high-paying positions in Hawaii, a more immediate matter sometimes fades into the background: Many high school graduates are woefully underprepared to enter the work force in the first place. "You can start talking about raising the skill sets of people to do high-demand industries, [but] you can't do that unless they have the basic skills coming out of high school," says James Hardway, assistant to the director at the Department of Labor and Industrial Relations. "There's a gap."
However, it's tough to say how big the gap is. Stories from businesses like City Mill's abound, but clouding the issue is the state's very low unemployment rate, which has been at or under 3 percent for about three years now. That means people are getting work—it simply may not be the quality of work they'd choose. And in many instances, employers are forced to do remedial training just to get those workers up to speed.
Another challenge in quantifying the gap is that the federal money coming into the state for work force development is fragmented, with small amounts going to many different programs. "I think there's a lot of data gathering," Hardway says. "We know a lot of players and what they're getting." According to Hardway, the next step is for all the parties to sit down and develop a comprehensive and coordinated plan for how the money is spent.
That's a critical step because, over time, not having enough qualified workers to fill available jobs can constrict a state's economic growth. And in Hawaii, businesses can't simply reach across state lines to find more employees.
Only Getting Tougher
One of the most prominent new programs aimed at dealing with the issue is called STEM, which puts a spotlight on science, technology, engineering and math curricula. It injects context into learning—teaching students that math is more than a bunch of numbers on a chalk board. Last summer, for instance, middle school students could participate in a science and technology program at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. Workshops helped students create sound, light and motion through technology, while learning electrical engineering skills.
"Everything suggests that for a lot of students, that's the best way for them to be learning," says John Morton, the University of Hawaii's vice president for community colleges.
Historically, there were two student populations—one that was going to college and another that was focused primarily on graduating from high school. "There were good-paying jobs that perhaps you didn't need all these skills," Morton says. "Looking out over the next decade or so, the jobs in general are going to require not less but more … skills. As the economy has changed … it's not enough to just graduate from high school. You've got to know this stuff."
Many repetitive, low-skill jobs are being replaced by machines and the pipeline isn't flowing fast enough for jobs in high-demand industries like biotechnology. Growth in the economy and the aging of Hawaii's work force in recent years have resulted in about 29,000 jobs to be filled annually, according to the University of Hawaii. Over the next decade, more than half of the jobs to be filled are expected to require education and training beyond high school.
"The demographics just don't play out," Morton says. "Either you've got to import workers … or improve the skills of those already working."
A trend that makes programs like STEM critical.
Mitch D'Olier, president of Kaneohe Ranch real-estate management company and its endowment trust, the Harold K.L. Castle Foundation, calls the problem the "preparation gap." D'Olier believes a multifaceted approach is needed breach that gap. If it were up to him, he'd toughen diploma standards, lengthen school days and offer pre-kindergarten programs for all children. Says D'Olier, "We need to throw the whole basket at this."
The hitch? Money.
"The more of this stuff you get into, the more expensive it gets," he acknowledges, adding, "but the upside, 15 to 20 years from now, greatly exceeds the expense. The question is, 'Do we have the political will to do this?' Shame on us, if we don't."
The expense of a less-educated work force extends beyond lower-paying jobs right now. It means fewer businesses with high-paying jobs may move here in the future, limiting local opportunities for those in Hawaii who do pursue higher education.
Tammi Chun, executive director of the Hawaii P-20 Initiative, is working with UH, the Department of Education and businesses on one of the solutions D'Olier mentioned: The option of a higher quality high school diploma. The P-20 Initiative, designed to address the challenges of the educational pipeline in Hawaii, is leading the state's involvement in the American Diploma Project, a consortium of about 30 states that have or are in the process of creating a diploma with higher standards.
In Hawaii, the proposed diploma would be voluntary. The state Board of Education already offers a "recognition diploma." But the American Diploma Project folks want to identify specifically what classes are needed to earn a recognition diploma. The proposed changes would include requiring expository writing, algebra, geometry and at least two laboratory science classes such as biology and physics.
National research indicates students who take the more rigorous courses are better prepared to succeed in college and/or the work force, Chun says. Possible incentives if the new diploma is approved could include college scholarships, priority for internships, apprenticeship waivers, job advancement, college placement test waivers and priority college registration. The board of education is expected to consider the proposed standards in March.
"It's pretty exciting because it's really helping students understand the connection between what they're doing in high school … and getting a good paying job," Chun says.

Let's say you are wildly, passionately in love and one day your sweetheart - sure, that's an outdated term, but I'm trying to make a point here - comes to you and says: "Let's get married."
"On Valentine's Day," she says.
February's a little chilly, you say.
"On an ice rink," she says.
An ice rink?
"Standing on skates," she says.
Skates? But I don't even s-
"With 45 other couples," she says.
Forty-five other ... ?
"And the weather's not going to be tops," she says. "It'll be rainy and foggy."
If all this does not cause you to rethink the relationship, maybe you were among the 46 couples who married or renewed vows yesterday at the Inner Harbor Ice Rink at Rash Field.
It was a lovely ceremony, especially if you had an umbrella, which I did, and a space heater, which I would have killed for.
All in all, though, the "Wedding on Ice," sponsored for the fifth year in a row by WLIF Radio (101.9 FM), went off without a snag, except for the guy we thought was having a heart attack, which I'll get to in a moment.
All you needed to get hitched in this non-denominational ceremony was a valid Baltimore marriage license. The skates were provided free of charge, plus each couple received a box of chocolates, movie passes and a bottle of wine.
I felt like calling my wife at work and yelling: "Hon, get on down here! We can make a killing if we re-up!"
Look, people get married in crazier places. They get married in Elvis chapels, they get married while sky-diving, they get married during the seventh-inning stretch at minor league baseball games.
Why not an ice rink?

how i wish it was socially acceptable to just parade around in tulle skirts and cashmere crew necks all winter - ah, to be five again. in any case, i think j.crew is brilliant always, but especially in how they are presenting their cashmere sweaters for next season. russian ballerinas, anyone? be sure to check out the behind the scenes report on their tumblr. by the way, did you know madewell has its own tumblr now, too?

bread & boxers
on my most recent trip to copenhagen for the fashion trade shows, i came across little swedish brand bread & boxers and instantly fell in love. selling tees and boxers like selling bread (with some pretty kick-ass branding thrown in), it's just genius to me. i was almost giddy when alexander handed me a few paper bags filled with white cotton goodness, and i love the packaging as much as i love seeing the boyfriend wearing the contents. well, almost as much. it didn't surprise me their inspiration wall is one filled with new york city pics, and i so totally get why the ace hotel is in there. if there's one place that should start selling b&b, it's right there. looking at this moodboard, it's taking all i have not to start clicking over to booking.com, by the way.

don't you just love discovering a city through the eyes of someone you admire, or at least someone who you know has great taste? that's exactly the concept behind the city scout, which has asked some of my favorite bloggers and creatives out there to show their way around chicago, brooklyn and los angeles. the latter is high on our wish to-do list, so i'm paying extra attention to that one!
spoon fork bacon
if you're only ever going to visit one food porn blog, let it be this spoon fork bacon. i've come across a lot of fantastic food blogs, but the way this one combines easy to follow recipes, great graphic design and mouthwatering photography simply takes the cake (pardon the pun). i can't wait to try out that cherry gin & tonic - and that's just so typically me, picking out the sweetest and most alcoholic recipe to begin with.
found via the city sage + original images from spoon fork bacon
i was browsing affordable art site 200x20 (check it out if you haven't, they have great stuff) when i came across that skull constellation print by alexander beeching, and just minutes later, i discovered james hopkins' rad skull-organised shelves on design attractor - always a good source for original interior ideas. i've never been particularly attracted to skulls as an interior decorating element - they always seem so sombre and dark - but these ideas have a certain quirkiness that makes them irresistably cool.

cheers to you
whenever temperatures rise, i have trouble staying hydrated. i used to be not much of a water drinker - it just tastes so boring! - but adding a couple of ice cubes and slices of lemon to soda has changed my mind. though admittedly, i'm always glad when happy hour arrives, and i can add a little splash of vodka to the combo. it's a mix that feels very festive and refreshing.
i'm not gonna lie. life in geneva can be pretty fantastic. we're enjoying all the summer has got to offer, making ever weekend we spend here feel like a mini holiday. last weekend we took a boat trip on the lac d'annecy and had a barbecue with a view on lac leman and geneva's many, many lights. to beat the monday blues, we went to an open air movie theatre at night and saw something borrowed - cheesy, but so much fun. if i tell you i can't wait to see what next weekend will bring, that would be an understatement.

the vamoose
lovely lies pointed me in the direction of the vamoose again - a british jewellery brand (or designer hiding behind a ridiculously cool name, if you will) i had yet to look deeper into. i was very happy to discover their blog, which sheds an aesthetically pleasing light on the inspirations behind the pieces. to me this approach - when it feels like you know who is behind something - is so much more convincing than simply putting a collection up for sale in a webshop without any context. that's probably also what makes kate miss' jewelry line so successful - the fact that she's a great story teller and has killer photo and graphic design skills probably doesn't hurt either.
yum yum lem lem
lemlem's fall collection still includes the pops of neon color i fell in love with last year. i'd love to combine the two scarves the way the model does in these shots - it would add the perfect interesting touch to my otherwise pretty gray winter wardrobe.
fall wishes
as my pinterest account points out, i'd happily live on a diet of 3.1 phillip lim, acne, alexander wang and see by chloé from now on. but perhaps that's more a binge than a diet. for now, i've limited myself to purchasing only two of the above. but how long will this discipline last?

roitfeld and wintour don't hold a candle to mrs vreeland. her grand-daughter-in-law directed a documentary about the illustrious harper's bazaar and vogue editor, and put together a coffee table book to match. both are slated to come out this fall, and are high on my to see/read list. perhaps as a warm up, i'm about to order her autobiography. i imagine she'll provide me with much inspiration and a rare historical insight to the workings of the fashion industry.

as much as i love my macbook and the interwebs, nothing beats just getting out there to get inspired. and as far as inspiring places goes, copenhagen pretty much rules. and yes, in case you were wondering, food inspires me lots. especially when i'm hungry.

ASHWAUBENON, WI (WTAQ) - Ashwaubenon school district officials say nine school buses broke down Tuesday morning, thanks to the frigid morning temperatures in the area.
District officials say all the buses started fine, but at some point stopped. That meant the children on board were at risk - either stuck on the bus or out in the cold.
Officials couldn't say how many students were left waiting in the cold for their bus, or for how long. And because so many buses were affected, the bus company – Lamers – didn't have enough vehicles to relieve the struggling ones.
Those that did break down did have heat. The students who took the buses that broke down did get to school, but late.
Parents were notified about the problem, but the district admits the information could've come out sooner.
"We know that we need to get that alert out sooner," Keith Lucius, Assistant Superintendent with the Ashwaubenon School District, told FOX 11. "Because this is a problem we've never had before, we didn't have a process in place for communicating with parents quickly and have those things ready. We will communicate, if this happens again, much earlier and be much more prepared."
Lucius says it's believed fuel played a role in the problems. He says the district and Lamers are working to ensure the same problem doesn't happen again.
The district typically looks at wind chill temperatures as a gauge for closing school - to protect the students. But that, Lucius says, may change if actual temperatures continue to cause mechanical issues.

|Spectral and timing properties of the accreting X-ray millisecond pulsar IGR J17498-2921
|M. FalangaL. KuiperJ. PoutanenD. K. GallowayE. BozzoA. Goldwurm1, 2W. HermsenL. Stella
|Context. IGR J17498-2921 is the third X-ray transient accreting millisecond pulsar discovered by INTEGRAL. It was in outburst for about 40 days beginning on August 08, 2011. Aims: We analyze the spectral and timing properties of the object and the characteristics of X-ray bursts to constrain the physical processes responsible for the X-ray production in this class of sources. Methods: We studied the broad-band spectrum of the persistent emission in the 0.6-300 keV energy band using simultaneous INTEGRAL, RXTE, and Swift data obtained in August-September 2011. We also describe the timing properties in the 2-100 keV energy range such as the outburst lightcurve, pulse profile, pulsed fraction, pulsed emission, time lags, and study the properties of X-ray bursts discovered by RXTE, Swift, and INTEGRAL and the recurrence time. Results: The broad-band average spectrum is well-described by thermal Comptonization with an electron temperature of kTe ~ 50 keV, soft seed photons of kTbb ~ 1 keV, and Thomson optical depth τT ~ 1 in a slab geometry. The slab area corresponds to a black body radius of Rbb ~ 9 km. During the outburst, the spectrum stays remarkably stable with plasma and soft seed photon temperatures and scattering optical depth that are constant within the errors. This behavior has been interpreted as indicating that the X-ray emission originates above the neutron star (NS) surface in a hot slab (either the heated NS surface or the accretion shock). The INTEGRAL, RXTE, and Swift data reveal the X-ray pulsation at a period of 2.5 ms up to ~65 keV. The pulsed fraction is consistent with being constant, i.e. energy independent and has a typical value of 6-7%. The nearly sinusoidal pulses show soft lags that seem to saturate near 10 keV at a rather small value of ~-60 μs with those observed in other accreting pulsars. The short burst profiles indicate that there is a hydrogen-poor material at ignition, which suggests either that the accreted material is hydrogen-deficient, or that the CNO metallicity is up to a factor of about two times solar. However, the variation in the burst recurrence time as a function of ṁ (inferred from the X-ray flux) is much smaller than predicted by helium-ignition models.

Great Dog Beds
posted 5 years ago
I have 4 of these beds in my house. I have had them for quite a few years and my dogs seem to gravitate toward them when they want to lie down. My Golden drags his outside with him in all types of weather and therefore they need to stand up to constant wear and wash, which they do quite nicely. I recommend this product highly.
Pros: Washable

OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) - The state Supreme Court has ruled that the state's 2006 expansion of the anti-discrimination law to include gays and lesbians is not retroactive.
Thursday's ruling is in response to a lawsuit filed by an employee of the University of Washington who alleged she was discriminated against by her supervisor and was subjected to a hostile work environment because she was gay. The high court says that while incidents that occurred prior to when the law took effect cannot be retroactively remedied, those incidents can be used in an overall hostile workplace case if the actions continued after June 2006, when the law took effect.
The case originated in King County Superior Court, where Debra Loeffelholz sued in May 2009, alleging that James Lukehart had discriminated against her.

The process of kebonization is similar to pressure treating wood (which is another way to make soft woods usable for exterior use). But, instead of soaking the wood in toxic chemicals like chromated copper asrsenate (CCA, which is now banned for most uses in the US and the EU) or alkaline copper quaternary compounds (ACQ, the most widely used replacement for CCA after the levitra philippines ban), it is instead soaked in furfuryl alcohol, a waste byproduct from sugar cane which is also sometimes used as a food additive. There are no special handling requirements or precautions needed to levitra pharmaceutical deal with waste from this wood, and it can be disposed of just like any other untreated wood.
During the kebonization process, the alcohol becomes a resin that reinforces the cells of the wood. The result is a wood with excellent outdoor exposure tolerance like teak or mahogany, but with a harder surface than many of the tropical woods that it replaces. The wood also naturally fades to a silvery-grey color much like those tropical woods, as well.
The wood that is used in this process can be any of a number of www.hasselaar.nl non-tropical species that are already being produced in more sustainable manner. (Whether FSC certified or merely conventionally farmed, the wood does not need to be harvested out of rainforests.)
Kebony wood can also be used for building siding, and it is so water and weather resistant that it has even been used for building roofs and for boat decking. The process also makes the wood less prone to swelling due to moisture. There is viagra and canadian no necessity to paint Kebony wood, and it can withstand decades of exposure to the weather before any maintenance is necessary.

Product Information
- Chuggington Wooden Railway Double-Decker Roundhouse with Elevating Turntable from Learning Curve
- Part of the Chuggington brand
- We recommend this product for ages 3 and up
What It Is
What It Is
The Double-Decker Roundhouse with Elevating Turntable is an accessory piece for the Chuggington Wooden Railway. It comes with a bonus switch track, six engine bays, a removable tunnel cap, and a moveable turntable. The turntable turns so that it lines up with the engine bays. Raise and lower the turntable by pressing a button. Kids can play with the roundhouse in its double-decker form or they can unstack the engine bays.
Why It's Fun
This is a great addition to other playsets in the Chuggington Wooden Railway. Kids will like that the turntable moves and is easy for them to use. Connecting wooden track pieces to the set is easy. Accessory pieces such as the Double-Decker Roundhouse let kids expand and build their very own Chuggington world.
Who It's For
The Double-Decker Roundhouse is for ages 3 and up. Kids who like Chuggington will really like this new wooden way to play with the characters from the show. But even young kids with an interest in trains will like this set.
What to Be Aware of
This set does not come with any trains or wooden track pieces.
There's no doubt that this is an expensive toy, but it's a wonderful addition to the Chuggington line.
If you are familiar with Learning Curve's Thomas & Friends Wooden Railway system, then you'll know to expect the same high-quality wooden construction in the Chuggington Wooden Railway system. However, don't think that this is just Thomas & Friends sets with Chuggington characters. Learning Curve has done a great job making a wooden world that is unique to Chuggington, from destination playsets right out of the show to exclusive track pieces.

Are Standardized Tests Exaggerating Achievement and Distorting Instruction?
By Daniel Koretz
Can more than half of our students be above average? A recent report revealing that standardized test scores are overstating achievement levels, often by a large margin, has led to a new, critical look at test-based accountability. In a far-reaching analysis, the author shows that a lot more is amiss than inflated scores. There are disturbing signs that the pressure to demonstrate results on standardized tests is distorting instruction and impeding learning.
