Glasgow Warriors' drive to tie its most promising youngsters down to new deals continues unabated with Ryan Wilson becoming the latest player to commit his future to the club.
Just a week after Rob Harley and Ruaridh Jackson agreed to extend their contracts with the Warriors, Wilson has decided to follow suit and sign on until the end of the 2013-2014 season.
"I love being part of Glasgow Warriors and living in this brilliant city," the No.8 told the club's official website. "There's a very positive feeling around the place at the moment, and I was anxious to be a part of what has the potential to be a great few years in the club's history.
"It's fantastic that the club are coming to players and looking to get them signed up quickly, and all the boys have been delighted to hear some very positive talk with regards to the role of the professional teams going forward."
Glasgow boss Sean Lineen admitted that he was desperate to negotiate a new deal with Wilson, who has made a big impact since arriving at Firhill last summer.
"Ryan has proved to be an excellent addition to the squad, and I'm delighted to have him signed up until at least the end of May 2014," he said. "He's a powerful player in our back-row and a good, vocal presence about the park.
"He knows he's still got things to develop in his game, but he shows a great willingness to learn and there's no doubting his desire to become the very best player he can be.
"We've got strong competition among the loose forwards now, and, as a coach, that's exactly what you want. It's terrific that young players see a real worthwhile project to buy into at Glasgow Warriors, and there's no doubt the club is heading in the right direction."

Pretty Yende Replaces Nino Machaidze in the Metropolitan Opera's LE COMTE ORY
Pretty Yende will make her Met debut as Countess Adèle in this season's performances of Rossini's Le Comte Ory, replacing Nino Machaidze, who is ill.

Le Comte Ory opens January 17 and will also be performed January 21, 25, 29, February 2 matinee, and February 5. Maurizio Benini conducts a cast that also includes Juan Diego Flórez in the title role, Karine Deshayes as Isolier, Susanne Resmark as Ragonde, Nathan Gunn as Raimbaud, and Nicola Uliveri in his Met debut as the Tutor.

FOREX-Euro steady near 14-mth high, focus on $1.35 resistance
* Euro needs to clear $1.3500 to extend recovery
* Single currency hovers near 14-month high set on Tuesday
* Yen edges lower, downtrend seen intact
* US GDP and Fed decision loom, could be USD negative
By Masayuki Kitano
SINGAPORE, Jan 30 (Reuters) - The euro held steady near a 14-month high versus the dollar on Wednesday, with market players focusing on whether it can breach resistance at $1.3500 and set itself up for further gains.
Some upbeat German economic data and signs European banks may have turned the corner have bolstered hopes that the worst of the euro zone's crisis has passed, boosting the euro more than 2 percent against the dollar so far this year.
For now, the focus was on technical resistance at $1.3500, where there has also been talk of an option barrier.
"I think there is a possibility of a euro overshoot on the upside," said Sim Moh Siong, FX strategist for Bank of Singapore, adding that a breach of $1.3500 could open the way for the euro to start heading towards $1.3900.
"It is a fact that things are normalising in Europe. But it is also a fact that the structural problems and issues remain unresolved and could come back to haunt the euro," he said, adding that the near-term outlook for the single currency looked positive.
The euro held steady at $1.3495, right near a high of $1.3498 hit on Tuesday, the single currency's strongest level against the dollar since December 2011.
Dealers were also looking ahead to the outcome of the Federal Reserve's first policy meeting of the year at 1915 GMT. The central bank is widely expected to reaffirm its commitment to a super-easy policy until unemployment falls sharply, which could ease concerns about an early end to bond buying.
In contrast, the European Central Bank seems disinclined to ease any further, and that contrast in outlook has helped to bolster the euro this month.
A trader for a U.S. bank in Singapore said that there may be scope for institutional investors to give the euro an added lift, judging from the way they seem to be positioned now.
"I think that their positions are not really built for long (euro) positions yet," the trader said.
News last week about euro zone banks' early repayments of three-year loans to the European Central Bank was seen as a sign that parts of the euro zone banking system may be on the mend, and has helped to bolster the euro.
A survey on Friday that showed improvement in business confidence in Germany, has been another supportive factor.
Against the yen, the euro rose 0.3 percent to 122.75 yen , hovering close to a peak of about 122.90 yen set on Monday, the euro's highest level versus the Japanese currency since April 2011.
The dollar edged up 0.2 percent to 90.97 yen, heading back in the direction of Monday's high around 91.25 yen, the greenback's strongest level since June 2010.
Selling the yen has been mostly a one-way bet since mid-November, based on expectations that Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe would push the Bank of Japan into more aggressive monetary easing to beat deflation.
Present BOJ Governor Masaaki Shirakawa, whose term ends in April, is expected to be replaced with a much more dovish governor, who could then bring forward any easing.
Aside from the Fed, investors are looking out for the first estimate of U.S. fourth-quarter GDP due later on Wednesday, a couple of days before the January jobs report.

Before I go, I wanted to apologize for the news feed updates being sporadic lately, work has been running me ragged with urgent projects that have demanded a lion's share of my time day and night. I'm hoping things calm down a bit soon but next week may be just as bad. As always, I appreciate emails letting me know about reports you find in the news, that helps tremendously in times like this.
That's it for today, stay safe out there!

Neighborhood to get Secular Yeshiva amid tension
Haredi and secular in Mea Shearim 390.
(photo credit:Marc Israel Sellem)
The Kiryat Hayovel neighborhood in Jerusalem will be the future site of a
secular yeshiva and pre-army program, the Jerusalem municipality announced on
Sunday in the latest step of the neighborhood saga that has pitted
ultra-Orthodox residents against secular and national-religious
residents.Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat announced that the Warburg compound
in the neighborhood will not be dedicated to haredi educational institutions, as
had been decided by the previous mayor, Uri Lupoliansky, who is
haredi.The Jerusalem Secular Yeshiva, which provides 15 students with a
four-month intensive learning and onsite living program, will move to Kiryat
Hayovel from the neighborhood of Ein Kerem, where it has been based for the past
year. The program is aimed at bringing people post-army to Jerusalem and to help
them create a connection with the city that encourages them to stay in the
capital. The yeshiva is a branch of the Bina Secular Yeshiva in Tel Aviv, which
was founded ten years ago.Kiryat Hayovel, located in the southwest of
Jerusalem, is one of the poorest neighborhoods in Jerusalem and tension has
risen as ultra-Orthodox have began to flock to the cheaper rents.In
recent years, activist organizations such as Ruah Hadasha (New Spirit) have
created communes and purchasing groups of young families who buy apartments
together to counter the growing haredi influence in the area.The
municipality has defined the neighborhood as a "priority area" to receive extra
spending in both physical improvements – including construction of sidewalks and
repaving roads – as well as community programs such as after-school
initiatives.Barkat said on Sunday that he was "investing a lot of energy
into making Kiryat Hayovel a vibrant and attractive neighborhood for young
families," and that the secular yeshiva and pre-army seminary are part of that
vision."Jerusalem is the spiritual center of all citizens, and we're
trying to make sure it will also be the spiritual center for secular people,"
said Ariel Levinson, the head of curriculum and the administrative committee of
the secular yeshiva.Levinson was quick to point out that the secular
yeshiva's new location is not meant to be antagonistic to Kiryat Hayovel's
haredi population, and that the institution also attracts haredi participants at
some programs.City councilor Yitzhak Pindrus (United Torah Judaism) –
who has been a vocal supporter of increasing the number of institutions in the
haredi community, especially in Kiryat Hayovel – refused to comment on the

Pokemon Black and White 2 announced, hits Japanese DSes this June
This will be the first numbered sequel to a traditional Pokemon game; previous generations have consisted of two initial releases followed by a single, similarly-titled "enhanced" version: Pokemon Diamond and Pearl followed by Pokemon Platinum, for instance. Now, however, we'll have Pokemon Black 2 and Pokemon White 2. Whether this distinction is purely cosmetic or carries heavier gameplay implications, remains unclear. All we know for certain is that, by now, the PokeRap must be several hours long.
Update: A statement on the US Pokemon site calls the games "Pokemon Black Version 2" and "Pokemon White Version 2" and says that details will be sent out "throughout the year." Looks like the game is heading to the US as well -- surprise!

My desktop PC sounds better than my Mac Mini FWIW. I tried both with my Hugo and my Meridian Director, and the big Windows box was better with both, more ease and grace.
Maybe it's because my Mini has a spinning disk, and the PC has solid state drives, so that may be the reason.
When I tried music on an external spinner disk, it sounded kind of bad, but my external SSD sounds much better, and the SSD disks (I have 2 of them) right inside the Windows box sounds better still.
All I know right now is that I am extremely pleased with my Windows 7 / Hugo system, with very high end sound (like a 5-figure-and-beyond cd player), so I feel no need to push this further at this point.

So I decided to experiment by unplugging my Hugo from the charger all day (but turned on) and now it seems to need a whole new charge-up.
I think I'm going back to leaving it plugged into AC power all the time as usual.

I knew it was complicated.... Do you happen to know if a PC like for example the intel Nuc could be a good solution? (regarding your Mac mini statement). Maybe there's a way I can upgrade the sound card? I've been using PC all my life and not really into adjusting to Mac at this age. The problem is I'm building my main system setup here.
I know what you mean. For some reason, even though Windows has some quirks, I can always seem to get around them, and the Apple OS seems awkward and hard to control and sometimes too cute for its own good.
The Apple tablet OS is good though.

Finally got the Hugo. This product is indeed deserving of this huge thread. My hats off to Chord for pulling off reference class performance in a product this small at this price range. In the past couple months I auditioned portable amps in the $500+ range notably: Duet, Pure II, 627X, Kojo, Pico Power and ALO Conti V3. Audition done using the same setup: ipod Classic 160GB > CLAS DB > Amp > Shure 846.
All these amps I have to admit are good, and all bettered my trusted iqube V1, and I can see why one would pick one from the other as each had their own unique strength. But when I heard the Hugo it was game over. I have a speaker system consisting of Dynaudio Confidence speakers with Accuphase/Rowland electronics. I also have a secondary system consisting of Harbeth P3ESR and Plinius electronics. I am amazed the Hugo with a lowly ipod and 846 can produce sonic fidelity that not only compete but may even exceed my primary system. As others have said in this thread this thing is a game changer.
Now I need to find a digital coax SPDIF cable to connect the CLAS DB to the Hugo. Currently I am using a plain vanilla RCA analog cable w/c seem to work fine, but I am sure I can do better. Any recommendation for this cable will be greatly appreciated.

Hot Springs, AR (Sports Network) - Brandon Peterson recorded a double-double with 18 points and a game-high 17 rebounds, as the Arkansas State Red Wolves posted a 68-63 overtime win against the Troy Trojans in the quarterfinals of the Sun Belt Conference Tournament at Summit Arena.
Also scoring in double figures for the second-seeded Red Wolves (18-11) was Ed Townsel who tallied 19 points off the bench.
The 10th-seeded Trojans (12-20) were paced by Hunter Williams with 15 points and five assists, followed by Antoine Myers with 12 points in the setback.
Both teams had trouble putting the ball in the basket in the first half, but of the nine field goals made by Troy, five came down from 3-point range, affording the squad a 26-18 lead at the break.
In the second half the Trojans converted a solid 50 percent from the floor, but at the same time the squad was outscored at the free-throw line, 18-4, which eventually led the game into overtime knotted at 57-57.
In the extra session the Trojans made just two field goals as ASU survived.
With the victory Arkansas State, which outscored the Trojans by a 22-8 margin at the charity stripe, will now clash with sixth-seeded Western Kentucky in the semifinals on Sunday night.
Following the outcome Troy head coach Don Maestri, who won his 500th game on Friday night, announced his retirement.

Plain and Simple for Oct. 3, 2013
SoVaNow.com / October 03, 2013Today is the first day of October which was my mother's birthday. I still miss her very much but America is more consumed today with the idea that the government has shut down. Admittedly, it will be very hard to tell whether Congress is in or out of session. The way some members of Congress approach their job, the more they can obstruct the work of the country, the better. Still, if this shutdown goes on for very long, we may feel the effects of it. If nothing else, this proves that a minority can still wreak havoc if they hold their breath and throw tantrums.
On Oct. 1, 1529 the Colloquy of Marburg was held. This was an attempt by real grown-ups with actual thinking abilities to resolve the controversies that had arisen between the two Reformers Ulrich Zwingli and Martin Luther. The biggest sticking point had to do with the presence of Christ in Holy Communion. Both sides rejected the stance of the Catholic Church with Luther believing that Christ was spiritually present in the bread and wine. Zwingli viewed the whole ceremony as a memorial of Christ's death for us without an actual presence of Christ. The two Reformers were able to agree on almost every other point but left without agreeing on this idea. I have difficulty imagining our leaders debating these issues. It would be hard to recite them to the lyrics of "Green Eggs and Ham."
Something more to our liking happened on Oct. 1, 1971 when Walt Disney World opened in Orlando, Fla. It seems almost like yesterday when Mickey and Minnie made the exodus across the country to their new home by the Atlantic. This was something that Americans could sink their teeth into. Studies and surveys have consistently shown that children more easily recognize the arches of McDonalds than they do the cross of Christianity. I daresay that the Disney characters come in there somewhere. Why get upset with issues and facts and folderol when we can concentrate on Disney, Honey Boo Boo, and ready-made facts that are easily available on the Internet and talk shows? We already know what we believe; let's just find a station or a talking head who says what we want to hear.
It is hard to believe that my mother and father encouraged me to read and study and think. They thought that education was a way to be free from prejudice. Even if I disagreed with them, as long as I argued with facts, then we could have at it. Back in 1529, people got excited about original ideas.
Today we accept whatever is poured into our heads and we pay the consequences.

I own a 2007 after driving a '95 Explorer to 176k miles. The 2007 v6 is slightly underpowered for its larger size and not quite as zippy as the '95 v6.

text: Welcome back to News & Views. For those of you who presented TNE-related papers at AERA recently, we'd love to have a copy of it in the library. Feel free to send me a link or a pdf (we can store the file on our server). Stay tuned, as our next issue of should include copies of selected chapters from the most recent Handbook of Research on Teacher Education, as well as a plethora of papers on value-added modeling from an upcoming conference hosted by the Wisconsin Center for Education Research (and co-sponsored by the Carnegie Corporation of New York). As always, please let me know if you have any comments, questions, recommended resources, or think someone else in the TNE world should be receiving this email. Thanks, and read on. Principals as Agents: Subjective Performance Measures in Education Brian A. Jacob, Lars Lefgren KSG Faculty Research Working Paper Series June 2005 " In this paper, we compare subjective principal assessments of teachers to the traditional determinants of teacher compensation - education and experience - and another potential compensation mechanism - value- added measures of teacher effectiveness based on student achievement gains. We find that subjective principal assessments of teachers predict future student achievement significantly better than teacher experience, education or actual compensation, though not as well as value-added teacher quality measures. In particular, principals appear quite good at identifying those teachers who produce the largest and smallest standardized achievement gains in their schools, but have far less ability to distinguish between teachers in the middle of this distribution and systematically discriminate against male and untenured faculty. Moreover, we find that a principal's overall rating of a teacher is a substantially better predictor of future parent requests for that teacher than either the teacher's experience, education and current compensation or the teacher's value-added achievement measure. These findings not only inform education policy, but also shed light on subjective performance assessment more generally." Effects of Teacher Induction on Beginning Teachers' Teaching Jian Wang, Sandra J. Odell, Sharon A. Schwille Journal of Teacher Education March/April 2008 Full text for subscribers only "Drawing on literature since 1997, this review explores the effects of teacher induction on beginning teachers' conceptions and practice of teaching, and it identifies three approaches to understanding such effects, as found in the literature. The first approach addresses the assumed effects of teacher induction components on beginning teachers' teaching using theoretical assumptions as a base. The second approach analyzes the effects through teachers' self-reports. The third explores the effects of using multiple data sources. Although teacher induction affects beginning teachers' ideas about teaching, few studies capture its effects on teaching practice and student achievement. Thus, this review suggests directions for future research." Methodological Concerns About the Education Value-Added Assessment System Audrey Amrein-Beardsley Educational Researcher March 2008 Full text for subscribers only "Value-added models help to evaluate the knowledge that school districts, schools, and teachers add to student learning as students progress through school. In this article, the well-known Education Value- Added Assessment System (EVAAS) is examined. The author presents a practical investigation of the methodological issues associated with the model. Specifically, she argues that, although EVAAS is probably the most sophisticated value-added model, it has flaws that must be addressed before widespread adoption. She explores in depth the shortage of external reviews and validity studies of the model, its insufficient user-friendliness, and methodological issues about missing data, regression to the mean, and student background variables. She also examines a paradigm case in which the model was used to advance unfounded assertions." The Plugged In School: Districts harness technology to attract and retain new teachers Joan Richardson The Learning System April 2008 "Imagine that you are a 22-year-old about to enter the teaching profession. For four years, you've had broadband access 24/7 from your home and the coffee shop you frequent. You text your friends, "poke" people on Facebook, and post videos on YouTube. You register for classes online, take online courses and submit all of your papers via e-mail. You do your banking online, your shopping online, your research online....While school districts may be slow to jump on board, universities, regional education service agencies, and non-profit organizations are harnessing some of the new technologies as a way to both appeal to incoming teachers and to support them during their challenging first years in the profession." Includes a "nonscientific survey to stimulate a conversation among district staff or within school buildings about their level of comfort with new technologies." Does Mentoring Reduce Turnover and Improve Skills of New Employees? Evidence from Teachers in New York City Jonah E. Rockoff National Bureau of Economic Research March 2008 "Mentoring has become an extremely popular policy for improving the retention and performance of new teachers, but we know little about its effects on teacher and student outcomes. I study the impact of mentoring in New York City, which adopted a nationally recognized mentoring program in 2004. I use detailed program data to examine the relationship between teacher and student outcomes and measures of mentoring quality, such as hours of mentoring received and the characteristics of mentors. Although assignment of teachers to mentors was non-random, I use instrumental variables and school fixed effects to address potential sources of bias. I find strong relationships between measures of mentoring quality and teachers' claims regarding the impact of mentors on their success in the classroom, but weaker evidence of effects on teacher absences, retention, and student achievement. The most consistent finding is that retention within a particular school is higher when a mentor has previous experience working in that school, suggesting that an important part of mentoring may be the provision of school specific knowledge. I also find evidence that student achievement in both reading and math were higher among teachers that received more hours of mentoring, supporting the notion that time spent working with a mentor does improve teaching skills." Measuring and Improving the Effectiveness of High School Teachers Alliance for Excellent Education March 2008 "Most education reformers agree that effective teaching is defined by improving student learning, but they disagree on how to measure teacher effectiveness and how to use those measurements to improve teaching. Thus far, most of the policy debate on teacher effectiveness has focused on using test scores to implement merit pay or to fire teachers, but those strategies alone will not lift teacher performance on a large scale. The best way to improve teacher effectiveness is to provide teachers with support and guidance that are grounded in effectiveness—that is, which uses effectiveness data to enhance professional development and teacher education, strengthen evaluations and career development, and revamp accountability policies to reward and encourage student learning. Only then can staffing, pay, or any other high school reform effort advance the primary goal of improving student achievement for college and work readiness." Promoting Work on Education in Mathematics Departments William G. McCallum NOTICES of the American Mathematical Society April 30, 2003 This article makes the case for developing a culture of professional review for mathematician's work on education and highlights several examples of mathematician's work in this area that is research-oriented. A few of the projects mentioned as examples of "research-like" work which often goes unnoticed include: (1) The Case Studies Project at Boston College, which developed a series of published fictional stories for training graduate teaching assistants and were intended as sources for discussions about mathematical and pedagogical questions; (2) WeBWorK, designed by mathematicians at the University of Rochester, an online homework system which provides students with instant feedback on practice problems and grades on homework assignments; (3) Business Mathematics, a two-semester course at the University of Arizona, which requires students to work in groups to make several major business decisions using mathematical and technological tools; and (4) The Program in Mathematics for Young Scientists (PROMYS) at Boston University, which introduces high school students to mathematics research and entails a 6 week summer component and follow-up workshops throughout the year. McCallum discusses the differences in what is valued in the two fields of mathematics research and education, stating that "in mathematics research we place a high value on originality; elegant new proofs of old theorems are not valued as highly as inelegant proofs of new theorems. In work on education we might value things differently, placing a high value on refinement of existing work rather than originality for its own sake…." He then points out the importance of supporting faculty who undertake significant responsibilities in mathematics teacher education and how work in math education should be noted appropriately in the criteria (traditionally research, teaching, and service) for merit, tenure, and promotion within a university. To do this, he argues that the university must exercise caution to avoid automatically assigning creative scholarly work in education to the categories of "teaching" or "service", which are generally not considered as important as "research", just because the scholarly work does not look like traditional research. Estimating Causal Effects Using Experimental and Observational Designs Barbara Schneider, Martin Carnoy, Jeremy Kilpatrick, William H. Schmidt, Richard J. Shavelson American Educational Research Association December 2007 "[T]he present report describes and exemplifies the role of causal inference in providing evidence on the effectiveness of educational programs and practices. Section 2 begins by defining cause and effect and then reviews the logic of causal inference, presents a formal specification of the causal inference model used in randomized controlled experiments, and provides criteria for making such inferences. Section 3 describes alternative designs that have been developed to approximate randomized experiments. Section 4 summarizes four NSF-supported studies that vary in design and methods of analysis. The strengths and limitations of these designs for making causal inferences are reviewed. The report concludes with recommendations intended to assist NSF and other funding agencies in the review and development of their education research portfolios." Rush to Judgment: Teacher Evaluation in Public Education Thomas Toch, Robert Rothman Education Sector February 2008 "In this Education Sector report, Co-founder and Co-director Thomas Toch and Robert Rothman of the Annenberg Institute for School Reform examine the causes and consequences of the crisis in teacher evaluation, as well as its implications for the current national debate about performance pay for teachers. And the report examines a number of national, state, and local evaluation systems that point to a way out of the evaluation morass." What Keeps Good Teachers in the Classroom? Understanding and Reducing Teacher Turnover Alliance for Excellent Education February 2008 "Teachers are crucial to the success of our students. Yet many of them are leaving their schools and the profession every year, particularly in poorer, lower-performing schools. Several studies have attempted to identify why teachers leave and how to stem their turnover, but few have identified the quality of teachers who are departing. As in any profession, not all attrition is bad, but whether bad or good, it has financial ramifications. This brief explores the costs associated with teachers leaving the profession and their schools, the characteristics of those likely to leave, and what can be done to prevent unnecessary and costly turnover." Measuring student growth: A guide for informed decision making Jim Hull Center for Public Education November 2007 "Simply put, a growth model measures the amount of students' academic progress between two points in time. The terms 'value added' and 'growth models' are often the cited statistical methods for measuring student growth for accountability purposes. But what exactly are these methods? Do they measure what they claim to measure? How should they be used? More important, as a school policymaker, educator, parent, or voter, why should you care? This guide is intended to answer these and other questions and to help you decide which model, if any, should be used in your state or district. Although we explain growth models within the framework of NCLB, they can be used for a variety of educational purposes—not just for high-stakes accountability as we also illustrate throughout this guide."
