Critics say state-ordered curriculum plan is 'the square root of ridiculous'
Storm Lake education leaders have mixed feelings about the debate between state and local control of their curriculum, but Storm Lake Superintendent Paul Tedesco suggests it may be a blessing in disguise.
A bill that would require school districts to follow a state-mandated curriculum passed the Senate after nearly four hours of debate Tuesday night.
"You could get all scared and upset about it, but we are already teaching all of these things," Tedesco said. "There is a lot of concern out there, but if this gives us more information about how we are serving our children, that doesn't seem like a bad thing."
The measure represents a major turnaround from the long-held state policy that allows local school boards to control the curriculum taught in their classrooms.
The bill, which passed 36-14, heads to the House.
"Local control is nice to have," Tedesco reflects. "But at this time, having standards to meet could be benefitial."
We are becoming more of a "global society" every year, he suggests, and the way to stay competitive in the nation and world is to have tougher standards in the classroom - whether those standards are handed down by a local school board or a state department of education.
The measure requires public school districts and state accredited nonpublic schools to adopt a core curriculum for math, science and literacy by 2012 for ninth through 12th grade. Schools must also adopt curriculum for social studies and other subjects by the 2014-2015 school year for kindergarten through eighth grades.
Tedesco doesn't think that the drive for improvement should stop with the core classes.
"We could get tougher beyond the core. To me, there are obvious places that we have had no national standards at all, such as vocational classes," the Storm Lake Superintendent said.
Still, he wonders how a statewide curriculum could work.
"We offer the same government class that every school offers, but the real question is - how rigorous is that class going to be? And that depends not only on the curriculum but very much on the teacher you have for that class and the class itself. That's where every school is going to be different."
The bill will still allow local districts the opportunity to choose their own textbooks. "They haven't taken that away - at least not yet," Tedesco said.
That could change as well, he predicts - noting that a couple of states have already taken the choice of texts out of local schools' hands.
In rural Iowa, that would be problematic.
When Storm Lake recently updated to a new series of math texts through all the grade levels, the costs exceeded $200,000 - the kind of blow that would break many smaller school budgets if new books were suddenly mandated for several classes.
Tedesco feels the state is doing a good job of supporting the schools, but with enrollment dropping at nearly 80 percent of all the schools in the state, difficult decisions await.
"They need to give us as much freedom as possible to determine what we do locally, but if the state is going to be asked to do more to support us financially, it may also have more of a say in what we do," the superintendent said.
One form that could take is encouragement for school sharing, if not complete consolidation.
Even in the biggest district in the area by far, the eventual need for sharing has not escaped officials' attention. For smaller local districts, it is quickly becoming almost a necessity.
"Everybody wants to keep their schools where they are," Tedesco said. "Elementary and middle schools can be run on a relatively small amount of money, but the high schools are different - to offer all of the programs that are mandated or desired, it takes big money."
Storm Lake is open to discussions with any area district interested in sharing, Tedesco said.
"We have talked with surrounding schools even before I came here. I can tell you that we have talked to Albert City-Truesdale, Newell-Fonda, Schaller-Crestland, and we would keep on talking," he said.
"We could get some value out of a sharing program ourselves. While it might be a way to offer more classes and programs for a smaller district that would share with us, we are aware that there may come a day when we need some help from them in order to keep our enrollment figures up."
Meanwhile, debate on a statewide mandated curriculum continues to enscalate.
"It's an important piece of what it takes to improve instruction," said Margaret Buckton, lobbyist for the Iowa Association of School Boards who pushed for the measure. "There will still be district choices about what textbooks to offer. It's not like we all have to be on page seven in the textbook on Tuesday."
Sen. Paul McKinley, Chariton, said the bill is a radical departure from Iowa's policy of local control.
"It takes away a very important part of Iowa's educational system that has served us quite well," he said. "It replaces it with a state mandate that will result in a further decline in student achievement."
Sen. Dave Mulder, R-Sioux Center, disagrees with McKinley. The retired college professor said Iowa - the last state without statewide standards - needs a change because the state is falling in its ranking of student achievement.
Michael Connolly, D-Dubuque, took issue with a Republican amendment that listed mathematical terms that should be included in curriculum requirements. He called the mandate the "square root of ridiculous."
Last year, lawmakers approved voluntary state standards in core subjects including English, math and science. But lobbyists for the Iowa Department of Education, Iowa Association of School Boards and The Iowa State Education Association, a teacher's union, pushed for more changes and to make a curriculum mandate.
If passed into law, districts would be required to report their progress on meeting the mandates to the Legislature by Nov. 14.
A defeated amendment would have exempted nonpublic schools, including private Christian schools. That means that under the Senate bill, schools like St. Mary's and Concordia would be bound by the same mandates as the public schools on curriculum.
The bill carries an estimated annual cost to the Department of Education of about $2.6 million from 2009 through 2015 to hire staff and implement the curriculum.
Gov. Chet Culver said he favors the bill.

City Guide: Tuscaloosa
Tuscaloosa is a place of unusual juxtapositions.
A college town with strong student population, Tuscaloosa reflects the needs of youth in pulsating clubs and cheap dining choices yet its roads are packed Mercedes-Benz due to the first North American auto processing plant in the area.
The same contrasts apply to accommodation. You can find both cheap hotels in Tuscaloosa to luxury rooms all available at Booked.net. Our listings include maps, photos and secure forms on every hotel.
The University of Alabama within the city is regarded as one of America's top educational centers shaped the student majority in the city with its 95,000-strong population. Serving as the think tank in the region, Tuscaloosa lives from commerce and in November 2009 it won the ranking of the "50 Best Places to Launch a Small Business" by Fortune Small Business magazine.
Along with small and big business in the city stands its diverse culture and traditions. Tuscaloosa always has some fun going on from fairs and celebrations to performing arts, historical sites and museums reflecting upon American art and ethnic cultures.
Attractions include;
- Moundville Archeological Park, a 320-acre park with nature trails and Indian Villages on display
- Bear Bryant Museum, a showplace for 100 years of Crimson Tide football
- Alabama Museum of Natural History, a place to experience the natural diversity of Alabama
- Mercedes-Benz US International, a location for the art of automotive manufacturing
- Lake Lurleen State Park, a perfect place for family rest and camping
Tuscaloosa is known as existing from the 1580s mainly occupied by Native Americans. The locals greatly suffered from the Creek War that left the city in ruins on the initiative of General Andrew Jackson. After this the Indians moved to the west of Tuscaloosa, but were forced off the land to the Indian Territory treading the well-known the 'Trail of Tears'. It was the position maintained by the local government and President Andrew Jackson in 1836.
According to the local politics the city of Tuscaloosa was incorporated on December 13, 1819 and laid out by designer Collin Finnell on the initiative of government. Eventually, the biggest part of the initial design suffered from tornado in 1840s, but the city gradually recovered and has evolved into a river port. Along with money from riverside exchanges came new structures decorating the cityscape. Thus, glossy state capitol building was designed by W.M. Nichols in 1826.
In addition, Tuscaloosa played a vital role for the regional government serving as the state capital until capital credentials moved to Montgomery in 1846. It was a loss for the city as half of its population reduced.
It means that today Tuscaloosa is welcoming to newcomers and tourists to the city. Before you go to this charming city you should consider booking a hotel at Booked.net.

NEW YORK CITY-Maybe it's just the reaction to a tensely charged political season. Or it could be a general crankiness after years of recession. Or it could just be an accurate assessment of the numbers at hand. Whatever the motivator, GlobeSt.com readers give thumbs down to the accuracy of the Bureau of Labor Statistics' monthly employment figures.
As GlobeSt.com reported today, the Bureau has announced 171,000 jobs were added to the US economy in October, leaving the unemployment rate essentially unchanged at 7.9%. The announcement is the last before next week's presidential election and sure to provide talking points for both camps.
October's rate was slightly better than the 157,000 jobs per month added, on average, in 2012 and better than the 153,000 added in 2011. Professional and business services, health care, and retail trade were among the categories that saw job growth.
But last month's report, which brought the unemployment figure below 8%–and became a political football for both Romney and Obama camps—met with raised eyebrows on the part of some 342 GlobeSt.com readers who responded to a poll on the subject.
In fact, 38% said the numbers were "Cooked for Political Purposes." As large a percentage as that was, it wasn't the leading response. That honor went to the 44% who believe the stats "Don't Give a Fair Picture of Joblessness" in the US, an answer devoid of implications of a political agenda.
Only 14% believe that the stats "Accurately Reflect the Recovery." Four percent of our respondents never heed the numbers, voting that they "Never Pay Attention to Them."

The concept is interesting, but the visual execution could be a bit better. The big issue is that apparently this entire English-language print campaign is plagued by the same misspelling. It should be "personnel", not "personal".

Based on the concept of local carrier density, intraband carrier dynamic characteristics of quantum well (QW) semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs) are theoretically investigated. In our numerical model, electron energy relaxation processes via electron-polar optical phonon interactions are also calculated. It is found that, the electron wave function and the subband energy separation have significant effects on electron energy relaxation rate, especially when the subband energy separation between state |1 〉 and |2 〉 is nearly the same as the longitudinal optical phonon energy, the electron energy relaxation rate in SOAs can be maximized. Finally, for comparison, we analyze the intraband effects in three different SOA samples. The effects of QW designs of SOAs on local carrier density recovery time have been discussed. The recovery time can be reduced to 700 fs from 1.5 ps when the optimized SOA sample is chosen.

Chef 'spiked chocolate puddings with Ecstasy' which were eaten by two toddlers for Sunday lunch
- Neil Iron, 32, allegedly spiked desserts to 'liven up' a party the night before
- Another customer had an 'out of body experience' after eating two 'special' truffles
- The chef denies offence and says someone else must have spiked them
Chef Neil Iron allegedly spiked a chocolate mousse with ecstasy which was later eaten by two toddlers, who were both hospitalised
Two toddlers were taken to hospital after eating a chocolate pudding spiked with Ecstasy by a chef who once served the Queen, a court was told.
Neil Iron, 32, is accused of lacing desserts with the party drug to 'liven up' a birthday celebration at a trendy gastropub.
The youngsters were taken ill after their parents took them to the Red Lion in Hoxton, East London, the following day for Sunday lunch.
One of the children suffered a 'pretty severe' allergic reaction after they shared a chocolate mousse pot, and both were left 'injured and seriously affected'.
Another customer, Charlie Webster, had an 'out-of-body experience' after eating two chocolate truffles left over from the party.
Iron, a former head chef at the Royal Marsden hospital in Chelsea, once served the Queen and Prince Edward afternoon tea when they opened a rehabilitation centre for cancer patients. He also reached the semi-finals of the National Chef Of The Year awards.
Snaresbrook Crown Court was told he began working at the Red Lion, which is popular with families, last September. The three victims were allegedly poisoned after visiting on October 9. The jury was told the two children fell ill after eating a chocolate pot at the end of a roast lunch with their parents. After they were taken to hospital tests on them found traces of cocaine and Ecstasy.
Police were called, and they traced the youngsters' movements back to the pub. Officers informed Iron the next day that the children had been taken ill, and he was arrested later that month.
Giving evidence in his defence, Iron claimed that the desserts could have been tampered with at the chaotic party on Saturday night.
The chef, who was cautioned last April for cocaine possession, said: 'It must have been a person from the party because that's where the food was. I wasn't in the room, I was in the kitchen.'
Ecstasy dessert: The Red Lion pub in Hoxton, north London, where the children were fed the laced food
Accused: The chef went on trial at Snaresbrook Crown Court, pictured, where he was found guilty of one count of spiking the food
He added that leftovers were brought to the kitchen by guests at about 1.45am when the party ended. 'At that point, there were about six people milling around in the kitchen,' he said. 'Other people were putting food in the fridge as well as me.'
The court heard a chocolate cake made for the party was tested and did not have any traces of drugs.
Under cross-examination by prosecutor Jack Talbot, the chef denied telling the children's father or Mr Webster that there were drugs in the truffles.
'I'm not going to say to someone, "would you like some drug-laced food products?" when you are about to sit in my restaurant and consume a lunch,' he said.
Mr Talbot claimed that Iron was lying, and that guests at the party may have asked him to lace the desserts with drugs to 'liven it up'. He said: 'You made it clear, even if it was by alluding to it, that they were drug truffles. You told at least Mr Webster that there were drugs in there.'
Describing how Mr Webster came to eat the truffles, Iron said: 'He came into the kitchen and asked where his dinner was. While he was in the kitchen I took out the tray of truffles and asked him if he wanted one. He took one, ate it and said "that's nice".
'Two minutes later his dinner was on the table. He came in half-way through and asked if he could have another truffle. I said "help yourself".'
Iron, from Hoxton, denies three counts of administering poison or a noxious substance with intent.
The jury will consider their verdicts today.

Vilalta Arquitectura Designs Granite Excavated Chapel in Raleigh
Barcelona-based Vilalta Arquitectura has unveiled the designs for the Ebenezer Chapel, a granite excavated chapel in Raleigh, North Carolina. Upon completion, the chapel will be excavated 15 meters below ground in a sloped forest terrain next to Richland Creek, and will be built completely from the natural granite on the site.
From the lowest point of the site at the creek, a continuous ramp will slope down around the chapel, and into the foyer, as the main entrance to the space, all of which provides natural light and ventilation in addition to chapel access.

Solar Decathlon 2013: UNC Charlotte Wins "People's Choice"
The people have spoken: UNC Charlotte's 2013 Solar Decathlon entry, UrbanEden has won the "People's Choice Award." Designed as an urban infill project for a couple in Charlotte, North Carolina, the net-zero solar-powered home defines itself by establishing a strong indoor and outdoor connection in the middle of the city. By enclosing the back deck with a seven-foot tall vertical garden and integrating a high-performance glass wall along the home's south side, dwellers are presented with the unlikely option of privately enjoying the outdoors within a dense urban context.
RA-50: HOME Competition Mention / in situ studio + David Hill
The RA-50 proposal for the HOME Competition, designed by in situ studio and David Hill, AIA, focuses on building density through alleyway living. By assessing each existing residential parcel in the city of Raleigh, it was apparent that most downtown parcels are larger than the current zoning requirements and will be even larger proportionally once the new UDO is ratified. Therefore, their proposal establishes a new zone within the UDO – alley residential, or RA-50. This new zone would be allowed in any block that is bisected by an existing or potential alleyway and where lots backing up to the alleyways have a surplus of land to shave away and form new, smaller lots that could front the alleyway. More images and architects' description after the break.

Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU) Terminal 1 Renovations / Pearce Brinkley Cease + Lee
With an arrival sequence that starts at curbside with a new canopy system providing both shelter and a new architectural image for the building, the renovations for Terminal 1 at Raleigh-Durham International Airport have been carefully considered and addressed. Designed by Pearce Brinkley Cease + Lee, their main challenge was the transformation of the existing building in support of the passenger travel experience. As the canopy extends the length of the building and transforms itself at the crosswalk linking the commercial curb canopy, both arrival and departure experienced are emphasized.

AD Interview: Philip Freelon / The Freelon Group Architects
During the 2009 AIA Convention in San Francisco, I had the chance to see a very interesting group of architects, Emerging Voices. That group, in my opinion, represented the new generation of US architects who are advancing the profession with new ideas and innovative projects. Several of those architects have already been interviewed and featured on ArchDaily, but it took me a while to finally meet one of them: Philip G. Freelon. We met during the 2011 AIA Convention in New Orleans, where I had the opportunity to interview him. I really liked this interview, where Philip shares valuable insights on running a firm and his views on the role of the architect.
Help us with our upcoming Architecture City Guide: Charlotte, North Carolina
We want to try a new bottom-up approach to our Architecture City Guides and we need your help. To make the City Guides much more engaging we are asking for your input on which designs should comprise our weekly list of 12. In order for this to work we will need you, our readers, to suggest a few of your favorite modern/contemporary buildings for the upcoming city guide in the comment section below. Along with your suggestions we ask that you provide a link to a Flickr image you took of the building that we can use, the address of the building, and the architect. From that we will select the top 12 most recommended buildings. Hopefully this method will help bring to our attention smaller well done projects that only locals truly know. With that in mind we do not showcase private single-family residences for obvious reasons.

Judon among NEMCC signees
Northeast Mississippi Community College softball coach Jody Long has announced the signing of eight athletes for the 2012-13 Lady Tiger softball team.
Long was able to get all eight athletes to attend a signing ceremony that took place in the Black and Gold Room in the Haney Union on the Northeast Booneville campus on Wednesday, January 18.
"It is a great class," Long said. "We lose 12 sophomores off our 2012 squad, so we are very excited about signing eight today."
Long was able to score a majority of his signing class from within Northeast's five-county district with six players signing from Alcorn, Prentiss, Tishomingo, Tippah and Union counties.
Emily Horn and Gracie Michael decided to stay close to home by agreeing to become Lady Tigers for the 2012-13 season. Horn was a catcher for the Booneville Lady Blue Devils while Michael was a catcher for the Wheeler Lady Eagles.
Also joining Horn and Michael were Myrtle utility player Kiana Judon and Walnut's Becky Robinson.
Long got a pair of same-name athletes with Kossuth's Dana Glissen and Tishomingo County's Dannah Glover to agree to become Lady Tigers as well.
In addition to Long signing six in-district athletes, the veteran Lady Tiger mentor was able to sign Haleigh Moffett out of West Lauderdale and Trenisha King from Colbert Heights, Ala.
Long and the Lady Tigers will kick off the 2012 softball season on the road at Calhoun (Ala.) Community College before heading to Meridian for the Rush Invitational on February 17-18. Northeast's first home games will come during the tenth-annual Northeast TigerFest Tournament on February 24-25.
Judon appeared in all 18 games for Marty Cook's Lady Hawks during her junior season in 2010-11 and batted .508 with a .537 on base percentage.
Judon was a threat at the plate for the Lady Hawks finishing the season with a .905 slugging percentage while scoring 21 runs and driving in 24.
During her junior season, Judon collected six doubles, five triples and three homeruns for Myrtle and was a perfect 15-for-15 on the base paths.
Judon committed four errors during last season while getting multiple chances as a utility player for the Lady Hawks.

Food & Liquor II: The Great American Rap Album, Pt. 1by Lupe Fiasco
View All Available Formats & Editions
For all the artist-label snags Lasers hit prior to its birth, the album topped the Billboard 200, while one of its singles, "The Show Goes On," became Lupe Fiasco's second Top Ten Hot 100 hit. As that album was in limbo, Fiasco began working on his confusingly titled fourth album, a 69-minute "part one" of a sequel to his 2006 debut. It's most certainly not a Lasers sequel. There's no obvious attempt to repeat earlier pop chart successes, and its introduction is indicative, similar to that of 2007's elaborately conceptual The Cool, with Fiasco's sister Ayesha Jaco contributing some more of her commanding poetry. Released only a year and a half after Lasers, the album was likely met with fewer label-related issues, but each one of its first three singles stirred up some controversy. "Around My Way (Freedom Ain't Free)" uses the indelible beat from Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth's "They Reminisce Over You (T.R.O.Y.)," considered by many hip-hop fans to be untouchable for its emotional relevance and classic stature. Pete Rock himself objected vehemently, and that conflict was resolved, but the beat is a bad match for the MC's angered, if piercingly focused and thoughtful, rhymes. On "Bitch Bad," Fiasco takes a characteristically authoritarian stance on misogyny. The order of the second and third nouns in the hook -- "Bitch bad/Woman good/Lady better/They misunderstood" -- is one of its many debatable issues. As with many of his songs, the lyrical value (clever, cerebral) is far greater than the musical value (sluggish, meandering). It's much more about delivering a message and provoking debate than replays. For the third single, "Lamborghini Angels," Fiasco is at his detailed and focused best, combining surreal imagery and grim non-fiction over a brilliantly tense beat from Mr. Inkredible. Through this song, the MC covers behavioral programming, child sexual abuse, and Afghan civilian murders in a graphic manner. Don't expect a party. Don't expect to appreciate each method he uses to relay his viewpoints. One can at least appreciate, or at least respect, a rapper capable of dropping an absolute stinger like "But my tone was like a Afghani, killed without a home, blew that bitch up with a drone" like it's nothing.

It seems that the center piece that the hood bar goes down into isn't
moving when you move the hood release lever. It only moves when you press
with your hands on the top of the spring and push it in to the left. Is this a cable being stretched problem or is it something else to look for?
