Merle Haggard makes old-time, "Okie" magic at the Kravis
- 10:42 am Tuesday, February 4th, 2014 by Leslie Gray Streeter
"Hell, yeah, Merle!"
In three words, some nameless Kravis Center patron and his shouted approval of music legend Merle Haggard and his band's presence in that swanky hall described explained so much about the evening. First of all, the Kravis is not usually a shouting place – its fanciness can make the fans of even the most singalong-inducing artists think twice about vocalizing above a polite whisper. But this was not the usual Kravis Center crowd – at least not completely. Mixed among the usual sartorial sparkle were frilly cute skirts and boots, T-shirts and cowboy hats. The usual merchandise table was repackaged [More]

New Balance 996 "Match Point"
August 4th, 2014 by Brendan Dunne | No comments
The New Balance 996 looks to be jumping out of its "Authors Pack" designation with this upcoming pair. The sneaker has got a "Match Point" nickname attached and a material choice that gets a little bit away from the typical one with those nylon sections on the toebox and collar. This is technically a New Balance MRL996 rather than just an M996, which means you'll find Revlite cushioning along the bottom. Click through with us to see the rest of the photos for them and watch for word on the domestic arrival of this New Balance style.

Lifetime extension for trains
Although the life of a fleet is generally more than 30 years, trains in mid-life often have to be renovated to meet new customer expectations, new regulations and sustainability policy or tackle rising operating and maintenance costs as trains get older.
For example, the modernisation of the Mexico metro's traction system improved reliability and availability by a factor of 10 and was a source of energy savings (up to 35%).
Generally speaking, a complete modernisation of a train could lengthen its life by more than 15 years.
Through its centres of excellence throughout the world, Alstom offers modernisation solutions that address all phases of a train's lifecycle, increasing their performances and their lifetime:
Infrastructure and signalling modernisation
Taking advantage of its comprehensive knowledge of the rail industry, Alstom also offers modernisation solutions for infrastructure or signalling.

The Wall Street Journal reports Apple is in talks with Comcast that could lead to the cable provider offering priority services for streamed entertainment for an Apple set-top box. Sources say the cable provider — the US' largest — would offer Apple's traffic special treatment over the "last mile" of cabling between an exchange and customers' homes.
This potential deal would mean Apple's streaming service would be able to avoid congestion caused by typical internet traffic, but The Wall Street Journal's sources say the companies aren't yet close to an agreement. Comcast would have to invest heavily in technology to support Apple's desires, and both companies reportedly disagree on who would retain customer information, and whether Apple is given a share of Comcast's monthly customer subscription fees.
Comcast would give Apple's streaming traffic special treatment
Apple had reportedly been in discussions with Time Warner Cable before that company — the second largest cable provider in the US — was acquired by Comcast for $45 billion, a purchase currently under review by regulators. Apple's apparent plans to secure the use of better network equipment isn't unprecedented for streaming service providers. In February, Netflix and Comcast secured a deal that saw the former pay the latter an unspecified amount to use a more direct route through its network, a move that aimed to speed up Netflix's streaming capabilities.
If the reported talks come to fruition, Apple should be able to provide a faster and more stable service than their TV streaming peers. Despite his company's similar deal, Netflix CEO Reed Hastings said last week that the essence of net neutrality was that providers such as Comcast didn't "restrict, influence, or otherwise meddle with the choices consumers make." By offering preferential treatment to the most valuable company in the world, Comcast could be seen to be doing just that.
Update: The Information has corroborated The Wall Street Journal's report, claiming that sources have provided details on the set-top box that Apple is planning. As previously reported, the box is said to have a dramatically different interface from a traditional cable box — with on-demand menus replacing channel guides — and a particular focus on gaming. The Information says Apple wants iPhone and iPad game developers to make their releases compatible with the set-top box so users can play them through their TVs and use their iOS devices as controllers. As Bloomberg reported in February, Apple's new box could launch by the end of 2014.

Brie Larson Radio
Celebrity in the 21st century had no patience for hopefuls who opted for a single career. That's one of the reasons why it wasn't a stretch for child actress Brie Larson to record an album for Universal -- like Hilary Duff and Lindsay Lohan, she was only doing what was required of tween stars in the early 2000s. Larson was born October 1, 1989, in Sacramento, CA, and by the late '90s was appearing in comedy sketches for [RoviLink="VW"]The Tonight Show. A gig on the short-lived Bob Saget vehicle [RoviLink="VW"]Raising Dad followed in 2001, as did the Disney Channel movie [RoviLink="VW"]Right On Track and the 2004 feature [RoviLink="VW"]Sleepover. Finally Out of P.E., Larson's debut album, appeared in October 2005. ~ Johnny LoftusPortions of Content Provided by Rovi Corporation.

'The Grand Budapest Hotel': This Is What a Wes Anderson Action Movie Looks Like
There is often an element of storytelling in Wes Anderson's films — The Royal Tenenbaums and Fantastic Mr. Fox are both framed by the novels (one fictional, one real) they're adapted from, and Suzie's books in Moonrise Kingdom are like characters themselves. But the act of telling a story has never been as much the focus of his work as it is in his new picture, The Grand Budapest… Read More
The 10 Unsexiest Movies About Sex
Lovelace, the disappointingly thin Linda Lovelace biopic from usually reliable directors Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman, is out on DVD and Blu-ray this week, where it will presumably find its intended audience: people who want to see Amanda Seyfried naked. But that's about all that's memorable in the limp picture, yet another case of a movie ostensibly about sex that turns out to be anything but sexy. No, seriously, it's an epidemic. Here's a few examples: … Read More
Remarkable '80s-Era Photos of Iconic NYC Artists

The book launches with an event tonight at BookMarc; the tie-in exhibit, NYC c. 1985, opens tomorrow at Chelsea's ClampArt. But if you're not in Gotham, Flavorwire's got you covered — we were lucky enough to get our hands on several gorgeous images from SCENE. … Read More

Our Favorite Gap-Toothed Celebrities
New York Fashion Week begins today, and according to the Wall Street Journal, in a rejection of "the air-brushed perfection of the digital age," one of the most sought after looks at model casting calls was gapped teeth.

The new Chinese military is armed with highly sophisticated weaponry. They include cyber-warfare forces capable of crippling American electrical and financial infrastructures from computer keyboards in Shanghai as well as precision-guided anti-satellite missiles that can quickly enfeeble the U.S. military's unparalleled ability to combine long-distance war-fighting with precision attack.

NJEA-Honoring Our Past, Imagining Our Future
March 2014
The following is a a copy of my testimony from the March 5, 2014, NJ BoE meeting:
My name is Debbie Baer, and I believe the changes the state has made to "improve education" are predicated on the false assumption, that NJ has a failing public school system. Approximately 90% of NJ schools had successful, creative, innovative, and respected teachers and programs in place prior to all of this madness. We showed remarkable results using outside, reliable and tested measures – NAEP results are extremely high year after year, SAT scores are high, students get into the colleges of their choice, and overall, when compared nationally, NJ is always in the top three. Approximately 10% of our schools are struggling with extreme poverty and all of the difficulties that go along with that - hunger, transiency, instability with parenting/supervision, violence, and underlying uncertainty, none of which is addressed in TEACHNJ. So the core problems are not addressed but a mask of accountability covers the real issues.
I represent the 850 teachers working in the West Windsor-Plainsboro Public School System. I am the president of our education association, so I have a unique perspective on the impact of the implementation of TEACHNJ and the looming Common Core Standards testing. I am here to share my viewpoint with you.
I will start by saying that WW-P is a highly successful school system with two high schools where almost every student takes the SAT and our average scores are very high, has access to a wide variety of AP course, has access to a variety of accelerated programs throughout our 13 year system and almost every student goes on to a 4 year college and earns his/her degree. We should not be stressed by tests, measures of our success as teachers, or the implementation of common core standards, but our teachers are cracking under the pressure they feel.
So, what's different this year? This year all teachers are being scored and assigned a number that will determine how good they are. They are being scored based on at least 3 observations, at least 7 components in 4 domains, by at least 2 different people. So each lesson, whether the observer watches 40 minutes or 20 minutes of a 52 minute class, must illustrate that the teacher is highly effective all 7 components of the 4 domains. Lessons must include the appropriate notation for the new standards that correspond with the materials they will teach. Lesson plans now take at least 4 times as long to create because a standard must be assigned to every aspect of their teaching. Teachers in our k-5 schools teach all the subjects so they spend entire weekend days created lesson plans that directly correspond to CCS. This level of micromanagement is exhausting and does not lead to more effective teaching. The level of monitoring has become unbearable and there is no relief to be had even if students, teachers and schools are proven to be highly successful.
What really makes a teacher highly effective? Think back on your own school experiences – what teacher impacted you most - how or why? Highly effective teachers connect with their students, they engage them in the learning, they love their subject and level, and they convey enthusiasm for learning to their students. This is impossible to measure. Lots of great, highly regarded, often-requested teachers in my district call me to ask if they are still good. Their confidence waivers and they plan their exit from teaching because "it's not fun" and "we are putting too much pressure on the kids" and "I feel like I am rushing through the material and don't even really know the kids." Teachers have always loved to delve into books with their students, conduct science experiments with their students, help them solve tricky math problems, share their love of music, art, physical activity, etc. with their students but now they are so preoccupied with needing to justify everything that they do that they ask me things like, "Are we allowed to sing with the kids?" "Can I still hatch eggs in my class?" "What happens if my principal comes in and I am painting with my first graders?" "Can they fire me if I am not where my plans say I should be?"
To complicate matters, money is scarce because of budget caps and the state's decision not to fully fund the formula so teachers have been cut, supervisors are strained so that all of the evaluations can be completed. NONE of this benefits students or improves teaching.
In our profession, within the first 5 years of a teacher's career, over 50% of teachers leave because the work is too hard or not what they expected. There is no need to go through all of the monitoring that has been created by TEACHNJ to determine who is "effective" because teachers know and supervisors' observations encapsulate what is happening with teachers and incompetence shows itself very early. There is no change in the number of expected non-renewals this year in our district. But, there is a huge increase in the number of experienced teachers who will be leaving the profession. I am sad to report that experienced teachers who provide guidance, share ideas and reassure new teachers, are leaving at a much quicker rate than I can remember in my 8 years as president. Nearly all of them apologize to me when they let me know they are retiring by simply saying something like, "I just can't take all of this anymore." Many of them regret not staying longer because they "love the kids" but "it's all the other stuff" that makes them leave. We must stop this madness. For all the running around everyone is doing in schools – completing evaluations, checking plans for standards, writing intense plans, anticipating unannounced observations, prepping for testing, changing teaching techniques & learning tools in hopes of insuring success on tests – things are not getting better in schools. They are deteriorating quickly and our infrastructures and weakening.
You have the power to slow things down and reevaluate whether all of this is actually helping students in any way. On the ground, we know it is not working, and we are desperate for you to hear us. We want to work hard, we love students and our jobs, but we cannot withstand this level of pressure AND we can no longer shelter the kids from it. Many teachers I talk to find that the most stressful thing about all of these changes is that they are not able to protect their students from the anxiety of the tests, the pressures of learning and they feel they are not doing right by their kids. These teachers are leaving because they "can't keep doing this to the kids."
I implore you to slow all of this down and listen to teachers who are the experts at teaching. Teaching is not testing. Teaching is complex because it requires that teachers know their students, design lessons that support their intellectual and personal growth, measure what's being learned, and inspire students to continue to be curious as they learn at their own pace and as they become intellectually able to grasp complex concepts.
This is a very, very difficult time to be a teacher and it's not because of the kids, it's because of the unreasonable pressure put on teachers and the public school system by the government. The NJ public school system is highly effective except in areas where childhood poverty is rampant. I implore you to slow this process down, investigate what parts work and what parts are actually destroying our model public education system.
In closing, I have letters for you are from some of my teachers who were not able to take the day off to come to Trenton. They want you to know exactly what's going on in schools so that you can lead us out of this burdensome system.
Debbie Baer

The Beacon
Fact of the Day: Cookiecutter Shark
Today's FOTD is brought to you by the letter C, which is for cookie…and cookiecutter shark.
Unlike most of the other sharks I've written about so far, the cookiecutter shark is a relatively small shark; they only reach about 20 inches in length. Like some other sharks, such as great white sharks, female cookiecutters are larger than their male counterparts.
Despite their small size, these sharks still have quite a bite. They latch onto their prey and create suction with their large lips. Then they use their powerful jaws and many teeth to carve a circular chunk of flesh out of the unlucky victim. (Get it? Like a carnivorous, marine cookiecutter?)
Cookiecutter sharks attack large fish like tuna or even whales and dolphins; the prey usually survives the attack but the telltale round scar remains. They are also bioluminescent; they have a patch on their bellies that glows in the dark, deep waters where they live. They use their bioluminescence to attract potential prey.
See you tomorrow for another shark FOTD and I hope you're enjoying Shark Week as much as I am!
