Four out of five independent schools ditched GCSEs in at least one subject area in favour of the more traditional international version of the exam, according to figures released today.
Figures from the Independent Schools Council (ISC) showed 38.7 per cent of their Year 11 (16-year-olds) entries were for the international version of the GCSE, which is modelled on traditional O-level lines with the emphasis on end-of-course exams instead of coursework, up 18 per cent from 129,288 entries the previous year to 152,170. The number of IGCSE candidates has more than trebled in the past four years.
A breakdown reveals that 438 of the 552 independent schools that submitted their results had pupils taking at least one IGCSE.
Maths, the sciences and English are the most popular IGCSE subjects. English has grown in popularity since the marking controversy of two years ago when the grade boundaries were raised between the January and June sitting of the exam.
Duncan Byrne, deputy head of Cheltenham College, said: "We believe that the specifications for IGCSE are more academically rigorous. IGCSE, particularly in mathematics and the sciences contains content which is more challenging and which prepares students better for further study."
Other schools have said they made the switch because the IGCSE is free from Government interference and therefore not subject to as many reviews and changes as the GCSE.
Overall, independent schools' results saw a rise in the number of entries awarded A* or A grade passes from 60.4 per cent to 60.6 per cent. This is set against a slight drop in the UK's overall results. In all, 32.7 per cent of entries were awarded A* grades, up from 32 per cent last year.
Overall, 77.7 per cent of ISC pupils achieved five or more A* to C grade passes, including English, maths, a science and a modern foreign language.
Barnaby Lenon, chairman of the ISC and former head teacher of Harrow School, said: "ISC schools are pleased to use their independence and freedom to continue to offer both the IGCSE and the GCSE in the best interests of their pupils."
This year's GCSEs were the first year to feel the impact of former Education Secretary Michael Gove's exam reforms, which have also moved away from coursework in favour of end-of-course sudden death exams. The full impact of his reforms with tougher questions and a more demanding syllabus will not be felt for another two to three years.
Ministers have decided the exclude IGCSE results from exam league tables in 2017 - the first year of the full impact of the reforms. However, many independent schools like Winchester and St Paul's have been using the IGCSE since before they were permitted to be included in the tables and are thought unlikely to change back to GCSEs.

Mukilteo mudslide hits railroad tracks
A mudslide hit the Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroad tracks on Thursday morning near Mukilteo.
A mudslide hit the Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroad tracks on Thursday morning near Mukilteo.
Spokesman Gus Melonas (mel-OWN'-us) says crews will have the mud, rocks and tree debris cleared later in the morning, so freight trains can continue to roll.
But Amtrak and Sounder commuter trains will have to observe at 48-hour safety moratorium until Saturday morning. Passengers can be bused.
Melonas says this is the seventh blocking event on the tracks north of Seattle this season, compared to 60 last season. The railroad has invested in slide prevention, clearing ditches and installing motion monitors along the stretch of tracks that run along Puget Sound under a bluff.

News in Brief
Ohio Superintendent Cited for Lobbying
An investigation by Ohio's inspector general has revealed that Superintendent of Public Instruction Stan W. Heffner had signed an employment agreement with the Princeton, N.J.-based Educational Testing Service when he lobbied for the company's tests to be used in written testimony to the state Senate last year while serving as interim superintendent.
A report released Aug. 2 from Inspector General Randall Meyer said the state board of education should consider taking action against Mr. Heffner, according to the Associated Press. (Mr. Heffner eventually rejected the job at the ETS to become Ohio's permanent superintendent.)
Debe Terhar, the chairwoman of the state school board, said she believes the board will act on Mr. Meyer's findings in September and said Mr. Heffner displayed "a woeful lack of judgment." Mr. Heffner apologized and said he had learned from his "mistakes" and would accept any punishment from the state board.

COOL RECEPTION: YAHOO SPORTS' Chris Chase reported a trailer for "The Cooley Zone," a "web-based look at the life" of Redskins TE Chris Cooley, was "released on YouTube this week." The show is "supposed to debut this summer, but it's not exactly clear where." If producers "didn't use up all the good footage in the trailer, 'The Cooley Zone' has tremendous potential." But one person who "may not find it funny" is NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, as in the trailer there is a "lot of cursing [and] boozing. Chase: "With a promise of 'behind-the-scenes Redskins action', it will be interesting to see if the NFL doesn't want fans entering 'The Cooley Zone'" (SPORTS.YAHOO.com, 4/15).

Sherman wrote fans "can't underestimate the video component and ESPN's ability to deliver experts" like MLB analyst Peter Gammons or NFL analyst John Clayton "talking about Chicago teams." Sherman: "It would be foolish to bet against this project" (CHICAGOBUSINESS.com, 4/15).

Ohio pharmaceutical company pays $8 million to resolve kickback allegations
Compliance Monitor, April 27, 2011
Cardinal Health Inc. agreed to pay $8 million to resolve claims that it violated the False Claims Act by making payments to induce referral orders for its prescription drugs, in violation of the anti-kickback statute, according to a Department of Justice press release.
A former pharmacy owner, R. Daniel Saleaumua, and a pharmacy consultant, Kevin Rinne, filed the case against the Dublin, OH–based pharmaceutical distributor under the qui tam provision of the False Claims Act. Saleaumua alleged that Cardinal paid him $440,000 in exchange for an agreement that he purchase prescription drugs from Cardinal for his pharmacies. Together, Saleaumua and Rinne will receive $760,000 as their share of the government's recovery.

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia's Foreign Ministry said on Monday it was outraged by lawlessness in eastern Ukraine, and accused the far-right paramilitary movement Right Sector of "conniving" with the new government in Kiev.
Ukraine denied the allegation, and dismissed as untrue Moscow's accusations of misdeeds in its eastern regions.
In its latest salvo in a propaganda war over Ukraine, in which the United States has issued a list of what it calls 10 false claims by President Vladimir Putin, Russia accused the West of being silent over violence and detentions taking place there against Russian compatriots.
The ministry said in a statement masked men had opened fire on peaceful demonstrators in the eastern city of Kharkiv on March 8, wounding some.
It also said seven Russian journalists had been detained in the eastern city of Dnipropetrovsk, suggesting the new leaders and their Western allies were not committed to media freedoms.
"The shamefaced silence of our Western partners, human rights organisations and foreign media is surprising. It raises the question - where is the notorious objectivity and commitment to democracy?" it said.
Ukraine's Foreign Ministry issued a lengthy rebuttal expressing "surprise" at the Russian statement. It denied that shots had been fired and demonstrators wounded in Kharkiv and said it had no confirmation that journalists had been detained.
"It is a pity that in this situation the Russian Foreign Ministry, instead of carrying out its foreign policy duties and ensuring that Russia meets its international obligations, has taken on the mission of systematic disinformation...," it said.
Ukrainian and foreign reporters, it said, were "encountering obstacles to their legal professional activities ... direct threats and even aggressive acts of force, beatings and robberies."
Kharkiv police said they were treating the Kharkiv incident as a minor one and say the only link to Right Sector came from an anonymous phone caller.
Ukraine's government and Western leaders have accused Russian officials and media of distorting the facts to portray the protesters who ended Moscow-backed President Viktor Yanukovich's rule as violent extremists.
Witnesses in eastern Ukraine say tensions have been stoked by pro-Russian activists stirring violence to provide Putin with a justification for invading Ukraine to protect Russians there.
An official who monitors media freedom for The Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) said after visiting Crimea last week that her more pressing concern was about media freedoms in the southern Ukrainian region.
She said pro-Russian authorities who have seized power in Crimea were clamping down on media that did not support them and were intimidating reporters.

Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus spelled out in a memorandum last week his expectations for the review and audit of procedures, administration, and performance of all husbanding and port services contracts.
The memorandum, dated Dec. 5, provides details and additional tasking to guidance Mabus originally directed in September, in light of investigations by the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) and audits by the Naval Audit Service of husbanding and port service contracts.
"Back in September, I directed a complete review of our husbanding and port services contracts following the investigation into contracting procedures in the Pacific Fleet. This tasking memo reiterates the urgency of that review and provides additional tasking," said Mabus.
Assistant Secretary of the Navy (Research, Development and Acquisition) (ASN (RD&A) Sean Stackley will review the acquisition strategies for husbanding and similar service contracts worldwide. Additionally, the Auditor General of the Navy (AUDGEN) will audit husbanding and port services contracts to identify ways to improve internal controls for the delivery of goods and services, contract administration, and eventual payment to contractors.
"This review will ensure we have the proper procedures and policies in place to ensure we live up to our responsibility to the American taxpayer," said Mabus. "This is a responsibility I take seriously, and we will take the necessary steps to ensure we do not violate their trust."
ASN (RD&A)'s final report, including recommendations, will be due Jan. 31, 2014. The AUDGEN's report will be due no later than June 2, 2014.

High Stakes Testing, Teacher Evaluations Remain in the Mix
The General Assembly is expected to wrap up the session today, with two key education issues still under discussion.
House Speaker Nicholas Mattiello has indicated he may bring a vote on a move to stop the use of standardized testing as a requirement for high school graduation. The measure was considered dead in the water under former House Speaker Gordon Fox, but Mattiello says he is concerned about the impact of the testing requirement on students with special needs. One compromise could involve suspending the testing rule for students with special needs.
Another bill would change teacher evaluations so that teachers rated as effective or highly effective only have to be evaluated every three to four years. The Senate is reportedly looking at a compromise that would reinstate the right of principals to observe teachers at work in their classrooms, among other things.

Mighty mite breeder sets up shop in Klamath Falls
|| Print |
|Monday, October 01, 2007
KLAMATH FALLS Spider mites can wreak havoc on crops, wiping out millions of dollars in agricultural income one tiny bite at a time.
So when Maltby started poking around for the cash he needed to start a Klamath operation, he met Trey Senn, executive director of the Klamath County Economic Development Association, who was carefully tending his Sustainable Klamath project — a push to market the region as the place to do green business. He saw potential in Maltby's company, Biotactics, and quickly got him in touch with The Climate Trust.
The Portland-based Climate Trust, a nonprofit battling global warming, had money to invest in emissions-reduction projects. They crunched the numbers and figured Biotactics' use of geothermal energy would keep 25,000 metric tons of greenhouse gases out of the atmosphere.

Alyssa Milano Kicks Off Campaign Against Tropical Disease
Milano has partnered with do-gooder website Tonic.com to raise $75,000 on behalf of the victims of Lymphatic Filariasis (LF). LF, also known as elephantiasis, is found in many tropical climates and transmitted to humans through the bite of a mosquito.
You probably haven't heard about it even though it impacts over 120 million worldwide. If you have heard of elephantiasis it is probably from a joke in the movie 'The Breakfast Club.' (We won't mention it here since it is in poor taste, but it ends with Judd Nelson asking Molly Ringwald, "How does he ride a bike?")
Through Milano's work as the founding Ambassador for the Global Network for Neglected Tropical Diseases, she recently learned about a project in India that helps over 23,000 people suffering from LF by teaching them how to treat and care for themselves, literally putting them back on their feet. The program also educates families and the community about the disease to make it less stigmatizing.
"To keep the program alive it needs a major funding boost of $75,000. When you think about it, $75,000 isn't very expensive - only about $3.25 per person, per year - a small amount of money can make a huge impact," Milano writes on Tonic.com. "That's why, all this week, I've teamed up with Tonic, and the Global Network to ask all my fans to band together and contribute to this, the worthiest and most cost-effective cause we can imagine."

The goal of the article is good, but why does the "Popeater Staff" find the need to mention a joke about the disease? The most famous movie to mention when discussing elephantiasis would be The Elephant Man, not The Breakfast Club. Bizarre writing style for a serious subject.

The elephant man didn't have Elephantiasis. He was originally thought to have Neurofibromatosis, but scientists now think he had Proteus Syndrome.

Yes, I realized that when I posted, but they share similar characteristics and quite frankly my point was that the writer(s) shouldn't try to be funny when writing about a serious matter. Did you at least understand the point of my post, or is your main concern the differences between diseases and conditions that cause malformations and suffering?

Better to leave a little to the imagination.
Expectations would be too high, and there is no upside for her.
Best to keep the slightly older 'frame' under wraps.
She's definitely better off than her peers in a bikini, but couldn't hold a torch to the 20 somethings.
Keep them guessing is the best policy for her.

If she got Charlie Sheen to give up one day of drugs and contribute to this cause - money problem solved.
Or Oprah to donate one or two days pay - money problem solved.
She herself could probably get a television or movie part and be paid so well .... that the money problem could be solved.

MLSE boss Tim Leiweke says Maple Leafs GM Dave Nonis deserves 5-year contract extension
Dave Nonis's five-year extension as the Maple Leafs general manager was an act of faith, fairness and consistency, says MLSE CEO Tim Leiweke.

Dave Nonis's new five-year contract as the Maple Leafs general manager was an act of faith, fairness and consistency, says Tim Leiweke.
The Maple Leafs Sports and Entertainment CEO, speaking with the Star's editorial board Friday morning, said the move was to "clean up" the situation Nonis was left in when he took over in early January. That contract was torn up in favour of the five-year deal to start fresh. The deal has similar terms as the Raptors' new general manager, Masai Ujiri.
"I find him to have the right attitude, mentality and emotion to lead this team," Leiweke said of Nonis.
"He has the same length and term that Masai has. And it's good that both our GMs have equal terms. I think that's a good thing for the organization," Leiweke said.
"I think we need to make sure as an organization that we have our general managers with a comfort level to make good decisions long term without feeling like they have to make decisions today . . . Dave shouldn't have that hanging over his head."
Nonis has had a busy off-season. He's added goalie Jonathan Bernier from Leiweke's former club, the Los Angeles Kings, as well as David Bolland from the Stanley Cup champion Chicago Blackhawks. He's also inked David Clarkson to a seven-year deal, and re-signed Tyler Bozak for a five-year extension.
Nonis still has to decide whether to offer contract extensions to captain Dion Phaneuf and Phil Kessel. Meanwhile, Nazem Kadri, Cody Franson and Mark Fraser are restricted free agents.
On the basketball side, Leiweke told the Star's editorial board that "tanking" is against the NBA rules and avoided giving his own opinion on the race to the basement and the top of the draft.
"What we can't do and what we won't do is talk about going out of our way to lose on purpose. You can't do that in the NBA because of this collective bargaining agreement," Leiweke said. "If people think what we're going to do is just say, 'Let's trade everybody today and get really bad players,' they don't understand this collective bargaining agreement and they don't understand the process.
"One thing is for sure. The culture and chemistry, the character, the communications — (it's) going to be a lot better on this team. I'm positive about that. And that's probably going to have results."

LONDON, January 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
Circle Research survey reveals B2B leaders' views on marketing in a B2B environment and priorities for the year ahead
A new survey by Circle Research has revealed that marketing leaders in the UK consider IBM and Salesforce to be the most respected B2B brands in the UK.
The report, developed in association with B2B Marketing, analysed the responses of 100 B2B marketing leaders, all individuals on or reporting directly into their organisation's senior leadership team. Collectively they controlled B2B marketing budgets of £188 million. Key findings of the report include:
- The most respected B2B brands
- The biggest challenges faced in managing a B2B brand
- The current size of B2B marketing budgets
- The attributes of a successful marketing leader
- Current gaps in marketing team skills
It reveals that:
- One in ten name Salesforce as the single B2B brand they most admire. The same proportion name IBM
- 62% spend 3% or less of annual turnover on marketing. 75% say this budget is less than needed
- 42% measure ROI from their marketing activity rarely if at all
- 79% of report that their marketing team has skills gaps - data analytics, customer insight, digital marketing and marketing technology top the list
- 68% say staff too busy to take time out for training and only 26% have structured development plan for all of team
Andrew Dalglish, Director for Circle Research, comments: "The B2B Leaders Report 2013 not only reveals that IBM and Salesforce appear to be head and shoulders above the competition in terms of B2B reputation, but also that marketing leaders are all facing changes to their budgets, particularly in relation to turnover allocated to marketing activities.
"Saleforce's Head of UK Marketing and VP EMEA concur with the report and have revealed that for them reputation is all about brand perception and leading from the front. These guiding principles have clearly placed Salesforce on a pedestal in the eyes of its peers, as the report reveals."
Excerpts from Circle Research's interview with Salesforce on B2B brand building can be found here: http://www.circle-research.com/2014/b2b-brands-respect/. Analysis of the four attributes of a successful B2B marketing leader can be found here: http://www.circle-research.com/2013/getting-top-marketing-tree/.

Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

When I jokingly said on The MMA Beat that if Nick Diaz vs. Anderson Silva was booked, I'd have to question my religious beliefs, I never thought people would take it seriously. But many did, and I'm not entirely sure I can blame them.
Diaz vs. Silva isn't the perfect superfight or the best kind of superfight that can be made. It's also arguably not even a superfight, but quibbling about the context is a useless exercise. It's the kind of fight that doesn't get made often that the game sorely lacks these days. It's also a testament to the pull of star power and why we enjoy the fighters we admire even when they're coming off of multiple losses.
But that's not until 2015. Coming up sooner rather than later is UFC 178, a card the UFC seems intent on stacking. Hear, hear. Moreover, Sherdog.com has reported UFC is trying to acquire the contract of Eddie Alvarez to book him in a bout opposite Donald Cerrone for that card.
Lest we forget, the jawing back and forth between Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier is already at a crazy level.
There's a lot going on, so join me today to discuss all of this and more. In terms of today's chat, anything is up for discussion, but I will lead with this and it all kicks off at 1 p.m. ET.
As is customary, I'll post the video window here as the event draws near and I'll answer any questions you may have if you post them in the comments section below. Be sure that you click the 'rec' button for those comments/questions you believe most deserve a response.
