It is our hope that the AP program can serve as an anchor for increasing rigor in our schools. Rigor can be maintained while increasing student participation.

I see knowledge increasing and human power increasing. I see ever-increasing possibilities before life, And I see no limits set to it at all, Existence impresses me as a perpetual dawn. Our lives, as I apprehend, are great in expectations.

Dulce desdén
Dulce desdén, si el daño que me haces
de la suerte que sabes te agradezco,
qué haré si un bien de tu rigor merezco,
pues sólo con el mal me satisfaces.
No son mis esperanzas pertinaces
por quien los males de tu bien padezco
sino la gloria de saber que ofrezco
alma y amor de tu rigor capaces.
Dame algún bien, aunque con él me prives
de padecer por ti, pues por ti muero
si a cuenta dél mis lágrimas recibes.
Mas ¿cómo me darás el bien que espero?,
si en darme males tan escaso vives
que ¡apenas tengo cuantos males quiero!

As we've gotten more successful, there's a gap between the speed of our publishing pipeline and the speed of our receiving submissions pipeline. Our pipeline of leaks has been increasing exponentially as our profile rises, and our ability to publish is increasing linearly.

Lenience will operate with greater force, in some instances than rigor. It is therefore my first wish to have all of my conduct distinguished by it.

Rigor mortis
the body that stiffens
because when it
died no one was in the house
the wife hates him
and the kids detest his
bad taste
Regimentation
that is.

Infestation Of Getting 'High' On Education
The increasing costs of one's higher education,
Provides 'what' as a guarantee?
Intelligence?
Common sense?
An ability to know the difference between...
Being accountable and responsible?
Competent 'with' integrity?
Does the increasing costs of one's education,
Automatically bestow pride...
And identity?
Or is one paying to network nonsense?
To ensure more of it becomes obvious as seen.
And we all benefit by the process of this...
Infestation of getting 'high' on education and not deeds.

Even as we enumerate their shortcomings, the rigor of raising children ourselves makes clear to us our mothers' incredible strength. We fear both. If they are not strong, who will protect us? If they are not imperfect, how can we equal them?

A Rigor Life
He use to have a rigor life
It was painful like a sharp knife.
Bills was not getting paid on time.
The taste of losing was sour like lime.
But he still take the pain as the tears drain.
From his mothers eyes.
He always try to keep a smile on face as a disguise.
The streets was dangerous.
Vicious criminals lurking around looking to be infamous.
To be famous for violence.
He look for jobs hoping that his mom would not be at risk of being robbed.
So his brothers and sisters would not starve.
He wanted to give up and not preservere.
He always suffer from the strggles which was servere and put him into fear.
His father left them with a single mother and they all dropped a tear.
But his mother thought that man was a true lover.
But she find out she had a liar.
The boy continues to walk hearing the winds start to crash against leaves.
Hearing the voices of spirits that bless him with a phone call the he receives.
He finally got a chance to get a job as he thank the lord on his knees.
He is singing happily and gracefully to the skies.
His rigor life will turn into a good life.
He do not have to suffer a painful sacrifice.
He is now blessed with christ.

In thus pointing out certain respects in which philosophy resembles literature more than science, I do not mean, of course, to imply that it would be well for philosophy if it ceased to aim at scientific rigor.
