Is DSTP Testing Necessary?
DSTP testing was created in the spring of 1998 by the department of education and Harcourt Brace Educational Measurement. DSTP is designed to serve as a measure of progress toward Delaware standards. it also insures that students can apply their academic skills to realistic everyday problems.
DSTP is necessary because it gives your teacher an idea of where you are in your learning. This makes it easier for the teachers because it tells them what you still need to learn and what you already know. Even though DSTP testing maybe hard and stressful to some people, it will help you in the future.
Some helpful tips for DSTP is to stay calm and try to do your best. it is also important that you get plenty of rest and eat a good breakfast. It is important to eat breakfast because it helps your brain. It is important to get a good night sleep because if you don’t you'll fall asleep during the test.

Shelby's: ASSINGNED SEATING
As everyone knows there is now assigned seating at lunch, also including the morning's when we must go to the cafiteria until we are dissmissed to our homerooms. It hasn't gotton as bad as to where we would have to sit according to our actual names, in alphabetical order. We just have to sit at alphabetical tables. Just for an example: lets say, table 1: it would be all the last names that start with the letter A or B. Those people would have to sit at that certain table and not switch to go to a different table. I feel that this new rule is absolutley ridiculous, and many other students agree with me.
The teachers and staff think that this is a good thing because they think that if the students sit with who they want to, that it will create much more noise; and if they have to sit where they are assigned, they may not always be with the people who they easily get along with. But the truth is, if some people dont sit with their friends and get assigned a table whom everyone does not like eachother nor gets along; god knows thats not going to end up well. That by itself will make much, much more noise. So their plan would be ruined in that case. Yes, you can choose to sit where-ever you want at that table which means you don't have to sit with the person/persons you do not like. But, if the whole table is people that you dont get along with, what are you going to do? This may cause a fight, or bickering and could probably get pretty loud if they were mad enough at eachother.
Students are NOT happy with this new seating arrangement. I, being one of them. I truely think that seating people like this is pointless, and ridiculous. There should be a time atleast once during the day where students should be able to actually sit where they want to, with their friends. Yes, you can visit all your friends in the court yard. But what if you want to sit with a friend that is in none of your classes at lunch, and hang out with different people in the court yard? Plus, we don't get much time in the court yard anyhow. I really feel that there is no point in it, and that they should let students sit where they want to. I understand them wanting most students to stay seated, and stay at the table they picked. If the student picked where they wanted to sit in the beginning there wouldn't probably be much of that happening. I think the teachers and staff need to take that into consideration as well.
"ATTENTION: All 7th & 8th grade students at cab should wear black clothing, with any color bandana, and war paint! To rebel the new seating!" - and that is the text message that is going around. The 8th grade has already tried it once, and now they want the 7th grade in on it. That is just how upset the students are about this. Not that I blame them. It is a very unfair rule. What they are doing isn't exactly working too well, but hey; atleast they are trying something to get the teachers attention to the matter. I, myself, didn't do that. But most did. I thought it was pretty silly, and pointless to do because the teachers and staff don't care. I'm pretty sure they want to keep it this way for awhile. It is going to be hard to convince them otherwise. So basically, I feel that the new seating in the cafiteria is unfair and not right. I really dislike it, and hopefully the rule will soon be changed.
NIK'S: WHAT THE GOVERNMET TELLS US
Were almost out of fuel! Global Warming isn’t THAT bad… Battery powered cars are the way to go. That is what the government is telling us. Did you know we really aren’t running out of fuel at all? Actually Were only running out of CHEAP fuel. Coal right now is 10X cheaper than gasoline today. But You have to take the Coal and convert it into Gasoline. For the same amount of power gasoline gives you, once converted, coal can give you the same amount of power. It will just be a little more expensive. When [or if…] we switch to coal It can last us for many century’s to come. The reason we are still importing fuel is because 1. it costs less money [only a little bit less] and 2. because we still haven’t built the plants to convert coal to gas. Germany and South Africa already have these plants and they are using them. From the point of view of physics everytyhing makes a lot more sense. For some reason the government does not want us to know these things. Another thing the government is saying is that global warming isn’t that bad and we don’t really need to worrie. They are WRONG! Global Warming is here now. We must stop it now. Waiting too long then it will become irreversible. Its like a hole in a pair of jeans. It starts out small and if you don’t patch it up as soon as it starts. Over time that hole will be so big that the bottom of your jeans tear off! It’s the same with global warming! One of the ways we can stop Global Warming is to conserve. Conserving fuel and things like that will not only keep costs down. It will also make less pollution which will start stoping global warming. But not only 1 person can make the difference. We all have to. If we all do we can stop global warming now. Has global warming already started to damage the earth? Yes The Earth is getting hotter. Global warming is not something that just started happening a few years ago. Back in Pompeii When the volcano erupted that also was contributing to Global Warming. But only now have we realized that Global Warming is very serious. The government doesn’t want to have to put there money into it. They rather fuel the war. Another dellema is battery powered cars and hybrids. Yes the do help the environment but it costs way more money per mile over gas. It costs so much to replace the batterys and they can only last about to 1000 charges! Also the Disposal and creation is not good either. The batterys are laced with dangerous chemicals and need to be disposed of specially. But Solar cars with only 1 square mile of sunlight it will peak as much power as a nuclear power plant! I really think that we all need to to understand this as the people. So we can make beter decisions in voting and decideing what to do for economy and how to not pollute. Everyone should know and understand this. This is real it is now and it needs to be stopped!
JESSICA FOGAL'S: SECRET LIFE OF THE AMERICAN TEENAGER
There’s a new show on Abc Family called The Secret Life of the American Teenager. It’s personally my favorite show. It’s about a girl who’s pregnant and she struggles to survive the normal teenage life. After all she is only 15. I always keep up with it, every Tuesday at 8! I take over the TV. One night while turning this on my parents came into the room. I didn’t have a problem with that, its not like I was hiding it from them. It’s just a show. My mom and dad did have an issue. They thought it was inappropriate. I know its plot is about a young pregnant girl, but honestly things like that happen. Its just life. It’s not like when I watch that show I’m going to do the same thing as the girl. I think its teaching girls what could happen to your life. There for I think it’s the opposite of inappropriate. I’m sure some people don’t agree with me, but then again some people will agree. No matter what this is what I think, it’s my opinion.
JESSIKA G.: i THINK THAT 67AND 8TH GRADE SHOULD HAVE THEIR OWN SPORTS
I think that grades 6, 7, and 8 (the whole middle school) should have their own sports, while grades 9, 10, 11, and 12 (the whole high school) have their own sports. I think that would be fairer because here at cab, the sports don’t start until 8th grade and that’s not fair because the kids in 6th and 7th come to a real middle and high school to be treated like real middle and high schoolers. I think that the dean didn’t let 6th and 7th graders do sports because a lot of older high schoolers like to do sports and they might hurt or injure the other students. A lot of kids like to do sports, and a lot of them want to be famous athletes when they grow up so they want more practice and they can only achieve that with the practice they need. Me and a lot of other students agree that middle school and high school should have their own different, separate sports
MY OWN: MYTHOUGHTS ON ALGEBRA
Every time I enter Mr. Edward’s Algebra class I enter the world of the frequent variation as we move on to each lesson day by day. The way he talks is quick… rapid… unstoppable! The rhythm, and chime of his voice will not allow you to put your head down in his class. That’s why I enjoy Algebra. He has a certain touch of attention every time we enter, sit, or leave. What I’m leading up to is Algebra is enhancing, and enjoyable. Why? Well, the way Mr. Edward interprets lessons has a certain vibe of creativity, and ensures an understanding to me even though he says things lightning quick.

Naruto: clash of the ninja revolution 2
By: curly
If you’ve played clash of the ninja revolution, you should know some of what to expect from number 2. You can play with the wii remote and nun chuck, or get old school and play with the GameCube controller. Either way, you see some awesome fight scenes. It is the same deal, up to four players at a time and plenty of flashy combos and special attacks, but with a few twists (tag team fighting!!!)
There’s also a brand new storyline written for the North American audience, Featuring plenty of characters never seen in any of the clash of the ninja series, Some totally original, Created by the dev team themselves( don’t worry there totally legit- they have been certified by the official guardians of Naruto lore.
Counting the built from scratch originals, revolution 2 also adds 15 new characters (WOOHOO!!!!) on top of the original 20, bringing us to the grand total of 35. Conveniently enough, you won’t have to try out each character one at a time, as tag teaming makes its debut in Revolution 2. You can tag in a partner to make your attacks longer or make stronger combo’s.
Also, some characters can use paper bombs, (a quite enjoyable feature, who doesn’t like a good explosion?). They can be used as mines or just thrown on the ends of dagger, either way, its good, not so clean, fun. The other characters can defuse mines (which comes in handy if you are fighting a psycho, bomb obsessed ninja).
Over all, it is going to be smoother, cleaner and more enjoyable fighting experience for all( and you can get some exercise too, double bonus!)
At about 3 in the afternoon on August 27th, a 17 year old girl whose name is withheld was on her way to a Delaware high school. She was a new driver who was following the speed limit. A driver behind her was tailgating her, and got angry because she refused to go faster. After a couple of miles, she pulled over to let him by. But the driver was not satisfied. He then pulled over in front of her car and got out. She put the window down about 5 inches so that she could speak to him and try to understand what the problem was. Although she didn’t see, he had a knife with him. He told her that she tried to kill him, which was not the case. He then demanded the car keys, and when the girl refused, he punched her in the face. After that, he pulled out his knife, showed it to her, and then held the knife to her throat. Right before he went back to his car, he reached for the keys in the ignition of the girls car and ripped them out. Witnesses tried to chase him, and by then another truck pulled up behind the girl. The witnesses called the police. They are still investigating now.

Life as We Knew It
By Larry
Oh no! It’s the end of life as we knew it! I bring you this paper's book review. Some books are boring, some just don’t make sense, and some are awesome. This book would be the third choice, totally awesome. Life as We Knew It is written by Susan Pfeffer. Miranda writes about a terrible time in her diary. A meteor hits the moon and knocks it sideways! This causes lots of different natural disasters to happen, like tsunamis, huge snowstorms, and erupting volcanoes. The whole story is about Miranda and her family surviving it all, even without electricity! It’s a very touching book. I’d rate this book a 5 out of 5. Susan Pfeffer manages to add a bit of humor into it, too. Once you start reading, it’ll be hard to stop. The book has somewhere around 300 pages. Although some people prefer to read shorter books, this one should be an exception. I rarely find a book that’s this good. You should check this book out at your local library, and see if you like it!
Pokémon – What’s New?
By Larry
Although the golden age of Pokémon was some time ago, it is still very popular with some people. Pokémon means Pocket Monsters, creatures you can catch, train, and use for battle. Many games were released in both Japan and the U.S. from Pokémon Red and Blue all the way to the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl of today. In all of these games, you are a trainer who battles their way to the top, defeating gyms along the way. Pokémon has also made a few games that have nothing to do with this, such as Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, where you play as a human turned into a Pokémon. Pokémon Ranger is another fun game where you capture Pokémon (who help you on your missions) by drawing circles with your stylus. Pokémon Ranger 2 and Pokémon Platinum are coming out soon for the Nintendo DS. There are also a couple of Pokémon games for other systems, such as Game Cube and Wii. There are also Pokémon in Super Smash Bros. I’m sure the Pokémon Company will be making more and more Pokémon!
Pokémon also has a trading card game, and a new trading figure game. The Diamond and Pearl booster packs are out, and Pokémon has just released the Diamond and Pearl: Legends Awakened set. The trading figure game is including more and more figures.
The movie Rise of Darkrai was aired on Cartoon Network, and is now on DVD. The next movie, Giratina and the Bouquet of the Ice Sky has been released in Japan, and will be featured in the U.S. soon. It’s been confirmed that Shaymin will have a new “Sky Form”. Giratina will also have an alternate form as well. On television, Ash goes on adventures in the Sinnoh region in the new Diamond and Pearl series. Now past their 500th episode, the Pokémon TV series is quite large! So, that is what’s new for Pokémon. Now, Pokémon fans, all you have to do is wait.

The Dark Knight
Imagine This: Heath Ledger with a RPG. Thats what the Dark Knight is all about. If you don't know what the Dark Knight is, Chances are you are not human. The Dark Knight is one of the Best Movies Every seen by human eyes, and it is todays reveiw. The Dark Knight had an amazing cast, including Heath Ledger(R.I.P), Christian Bale, and Morgan Freeman. It Grossed more money in 59 days than the blockbuster 'Titanic'. Now a days, Anything is possible, Using CGI (Computer Generated Images). Thats how Havrey Dent(two Face)became two face. Also, it made it possible to have Tanker Trucks flipping over and Bazookas to be used. It's basiclly the Perfect movie. So if you have NOT seen this god-like film, i highly suggest you do. It is beastly. that is all
