Analyzing the Performance of Lossless Coding Techniques Used in Audio Coders
This paper examines the parameters involved in determining the achievable performance for lossless audio coding techniques. Entropy theory can be difficult to apply to a practical system. Therefore, many compromises are made for practical implementation because of complexity and memory constraints. In order to develop an efficient implementation, it is essential to have a metric that takes all these factors into consideration. The authors propose a metric and show how it can be applied to several different coding systems.:

text: On February 20, 1997, about 1430 eastern standard time, a Cessna 172M, N9987V, collided with the ground during takeoff from the Hernando County Airport, Brooksville, Florida. The airplane was operated by the pilot under the provisions of Title 14 CFR Part 91, and visual flight rules. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed. A flight plan was not filed for the instructional flight. The airline transport pilot certified flight instructor (CFI) had serious injuries, and the private pilot dual student received minor injuries. The airplane was substantially damaged. Origination of the flight was St. Petersburg, Florida, at 1330. According to the pilot in command, his student had completed a series of commercial maneuvers and was planning to complete a number of takeoffs and landings. The CFI and his student made one "successful landing", and they taxied back for a maximum performance takeoff. The aircraft was equipped with a Short Takeoff and Landing (STOL) kit. As they started their takeoff roll, "the windsock was about half erect with a direction approximately 30 degrees off the right side of the nose". The CFI commented the flaps were correctly set for the maximum performance takeoff, the nose rotated properly, and the airplane began to climb. At approximately 30 feet above the ground, "the aircraft began to mush", and the CFI took the controls. Although he added full power, the airplane continued to descend and slowly turn to the left. The airplane struck the ground slightly nose down with very little bank. The stall warning horn never sounded, according to the CFI. The airplane lifted off at approximately 35 knots, according to the CFI. The power on stall speed in this airplane is 35 knots. The CFI also noted a wind decrease or shift would affect the STOL performance. According to a local witness, the airplane was observed doing maximum performance takeoffs. During the accident takeoff, according to the witness, the airplane assumed a very nose high attitude, stalled, and drifted left over the adjacent grass area in a strong crosswind. Just before ground impact, the nose of the airplane pulled up. The airplane collided with the ground nose wheel first, breaking off the nose wheel, then nosed over. The rescue personnel that arrived on the scene said the airplane was found nosed over on the north side of the runway. It was approximately 1400 feet east of the approach end of runway 9 and 250 feet north of the edge of the pavement. Within the airplane, all of the engine controls were in the full forward position. According to a sheriff on the scene, the wind was blowing from the south when they arrived.

text: Thought of The Day -- The Fiscal Cliff: A Compromise? Print article Send a Tip by Sydney Williams 16 Nov 2012 post a comment The President will meet this morning with Congressional leaders to discuss the nation's head-long dash toward a date that will cause tax rates to rise and sequestration for government programs, primarily Defense. In preparation, on Tuesday the President met with union leaders and heads of other "progressive" groups, and on Wednesday he met with business leaders. We know who will show up from Congress this morning. The question is which Mr. Obama will appear, the conciliator or the ideologue? As he starts out on his second term, Mr. Obama has sent mixed messages. When with union leaders, he appears intractable, in terms of his stance on the "wealthy" having to pay higher rates. When he is with business leaders, he sounds more conciliatory. The President does not appear to be in a conciliatory mood. Wednesday, at his bi-annual news conference, he remarked that John McCain and Lindsay Graham were out of line regarding their comments as to the suitability of UN Ambassador Susan Rice to be Secretary of State; he had the gall to blame Republicans for picking on her for going on five Sunday TV talk shows five days after the attack on the Consulate in Benghazi during which she relayed the Administration's lie as to what caused the attack in Benghazi on September 11th. Within twenty-four hours of the attack, if not sooner, the Administration had been told the attack was pre-planned by al Qaeda and their affiliates. The Administration knew the cause was not a video, yet they persisted in claiming it was. It was Mr. Obama who threw Ms. Rice under the bus by having her mislead the American people, not Mr. McCain or Mr. Graham. He also threw Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and DCI David Petraeus under the same Chicago bus for telling the same tale. This is not a man with whom negotiations will be easy. He wants his way, and his conceit says he deserves it. However much the President likes to think of himself as the voice of the nation, he is the president of a republic, not an irreproachable monarch. He won re-election, but he gathered only 50% of the vote, less than he did in 2008. He must know that the opposition is not defunct. Republicans control 30 of the 50 governorships, including seven of the ten most populous states. They control 27 state legislatures and 28 state senates. In a USA Today poll out yesterday, optimism in the country has fallen. As everyone knows, the sticking point is the President's demand that the tax rate on those making more than $250,000 ($200,000 for singles) must go up. The Republican's response is that those income levels include a large number of small businesses that file as individuals, which will likely cause lay-offs. One alternative is the one proposed by the Simpson-Bowles Commission (and by Governor Romney) of limiting total deductions – charitable, mortgages, state and local taxes – for high earners to some fixed amount; for example $30,000. There are those like Robert Rubin who oppose such recommendations, which is unsurprising. Such a decision would make it harder for him, and people like him, to hide income. He prefers higher tax-rates, because they don't interfere in his ability to continue to avoid taxes. A higher tax bracket is Mr. Rubin's briar patch, as it is for Warren Buffett and others like them. The President has raised the ante. In the summer of 2011, in a grand bargain, he and Mr. Boehner agreed on revenue increases of $800 billion over ten years. After a deal had been struck and agreed upon, Mr. Obama changed his mind and asked for $1.2 trillion. Mr. Boehner refused. At that point, the concept of the "fiscal cliff" was introduced, as a means of forcing action. Now the President has asked for $1.6 trillion in additional tax revenue over the next decade. In Wednesday's TOTD, I showed how $2.0 trillion over ten years could be achieved by limiting deductions, but it appears the President is determined to make a political point of raising taxes on the "wealthy" regardless of the consequence and no matter how little will actually be collected. It is a case of ideology superseding common sense. The fiscal cliff, according to conventional wisdom, poses little risk for the President. He is in his last term. He has, as he whispered to then Russian President Dmitri Medvedev last March, "more flexibility" now that the election is over. Should we slip over the edge and into the abyss, the effect would likely be a recession. Everybody's taxes would rise, which could be blamed on Congressional Republicans. Defense spending would be cut, which would be okay with Mr. Obama. Entitlements would not be touched, so the spending spree would continue. With Republican's suited out in a dunce cap, Mr. Obama would practice what he does best – passing the blame. But that may not be the consequence. The President, after all, is the man in charge. The silly posturing going on by both sides understates the seriousness of the problem and defers an even more serious question that needs to be asked. The problems are ones of debt and deficits. The inflation adjusted fiscal deficit in 2008 was $488 billion. Last year, it was $1.32 trillion. It has been in excess of a trillion dollars since 2009. In 2012, it is expected to be reported at $1.1 trillion, moving in the right direction, but still way too excessive. Another recession would cause revenues to decline further and the deficit to widen. In 2008, total federal debt –excluding obligations to Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and now Obamacare – was $10 trillion. Today it is $16.3 trillion. That means $50,000 worth of debt for every man, woman and child, an amount equal to the annual income for the average American worker. When future entitlement obligations are factored in, debt numbers roughly quadruple. Welcome to America! Anyone who doesn't think we have a problem is living on another planet. One who doesn't think we have a debt crisis is the President's buddy, AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka. He and his pal, Mary Kay Henry, President of Services Employees International Union, held 100 rallies last week pressuring Congress on holding off on any entitlement cuts. They walked out of last Tuesday's meeting with the President feeling the "rich" would pay more and being assured that entitlements would not be touched. Thus they told the President that they "had his back." These are the fiscally irresponsible leaders who have helped bankrupt businesses, states and cities. They are now vowing to do the same to the federal government. Left untethered, they will. The more serious question that needs to be asked is what kind of government do we want. Following Lyndon Johnson's great society, federal spending, as a percent of GDP, began rising toward the 20% level. In the 1950s and early 1960s, it had been closer to 15%. It remained at the 20% level through George W. Bush's second term. President Obama has taken that number up closer to 25%. If that is what the American people want, it means that taxes on everyone will have to go up, not just the wealthy. The President has persistently vilified the wealthy, claiming they don't pay their fair share. The fact is that, in 2011, the top 10% of America's workers earned 48% of the nation's personal income and paid 70% of all federal taxes, the highest percentage ever. If the people of America want a paternalistic welfare state, such as the one depicted in "Julia's World", which can be seen on the White House's website, everybody's taxes will have to go up substantially, first to pay for the new programs and second to offset the decline in GDP growth that would inevitably ensue. I don't get the sense that the Administration (or Congress) is fully aware of the explosive nature of the powder keg with which they are dealing. The best way to resolve the problem is through economic growth, which would lift tax revenues while reducing unemployment and poverty. That is indeed possible, but it means unleashing the animal spirits of the private sector – limiting regulation and reducing taxes, exactly the opposite of what this President wants to do. The fiscal cliff should be avoided if possible, but if the consequence of avoidance is simply to push out the tough decisions that must be made, then facing reality today may be better than confronting a bigger problem tomorrow. If we were to nosedive off the cliff, markets would weaken sharply, as would the dollar. International disillusionment with the United States could cause interest rates to rise. But it is possible that such a crisis might be a wake-up call to finally address the fiscal issues that have been avoided by Republicans and made worse by Democrats for too long. If markets sensed that we were serious about addressing the problem, they would recover; so any shortfall might prove temporary. If, on the other hand, they saw the leap off the cliff as a means for the President to pressure Congress to come around to his plan of continuing the process of wealth transfer, high unemployment and slow economic growth, then, as Betty Davis once said, we had better "buckle our seat belts; it's going to be a bumpy ride."

Crafty fingers: 3D Japanes nail art
A new generation of nail artists in Japan are taking a cue from adventurous crafters, and decorating nails in every way imaginable, using loads of materials not normally found on nails.
My Nail House, intended as inspiration, shows bejeweled nails, polka-dot nails, nails adorned with flowers, stars and even tiny dolphins. Blogs are springing up all over the net, run by practitioners of the craft, including Wow! Pretty nails
It's a far cry from what you'd see clawing its way out of your local nail parlour, although there are now specialists in Japanese nail art working in the US, including Valley Nails in New York's lower east side, and inevitably, stars like Gwen Stefani have been seen sporting the crazy talons.
If you don't find the trend tacky (opinions vary wildly) and would like to have a go yourself, nail art kits are available to buy online from specialist Japanese importers.

Members of our NewsChannel 7 Daybreak Team aren't the only broadcasters who start each day long before most of our viewers are awake... chances are your favorite morning radio hosts are also getting ready for their day while you're still in bed.
This week we're bringing you a special series of reports called "behind the mic" to let you "see" what happens on the radio.
The banter and laughter flows easily between dave kallaway and stacy cole - hosts of wifc-fm's morning show, kallaway on the rise.
Its probably no wonder - given they've been a team since 2000. It all started when dave was searching for a new co-host. "Stace put flowers in my garage" Dave recalls, "She said 'I want the gig' - and she got the gig!" Stacy adds, "Don't forget about the balloons!"
She says she knew she had to get his attention. "They were going to be interviewing tons of people and I was filling in because the other host had moved on - and I gotta get his attention. I want the job."
That was almost a decade ago. Today their relationship has grown from just co-workers - to trusted friends. Stacy says, "It's a lot like a marriage. You have to cultivate it and work on it and I think we have enough respect for each other to know this works on air - and we have to make the friendship work as well."
Dave adds, "Her birthday is the same as my wife's birthday - so both Saggitarius - and they have a lot of parallels. So if Stace has a headache, I know chances are I'm going home to a headache. My wife says, 'I got a headache', I know you have a headache cause she's got a headache!"
After sharing the airwaves together each morning... Dave and Stacy spend countless hours teaming up at community events and sending each other ideas for the next morning's show.
"We're constantly im-ing, twittering each other, face-booking each other so all the different ways you can communicate, that's the way we talk from 10am on." Dave says.
They are constantly gathering material for their show. That means staying involved in the community and constantly looking for interesting things to get their listeners involved in. Dave says, "Things like the Polar Plunge or Disco Cures Cancer or you're doing stuff over the summer months - the next day you're going to hear about it. If you didn't go - you're going to hear about it."
Its clear the "Kallaway on the Rise" team has a lot of fun together - but make no mistake - the days are long and they start early - well before the sun rises. But both agree - its worth it.
Stacy says, "We actually make an impact and that's importan to getting up , working crazy hours and weekends - strange hours - and we do make a sacrifice. But we love it.."
Dave agrees, "It just takes a little feedback to keep you going. We get feedback at things like Disco Cures Cancer where somebody comes up and says 'what you're doing affects my life', or "I've recieved money from your foundation'. One person does that, you know you gotta keep doing it."
You can hear "kallway on the rise" each weekday morning on 95-FIVE, WIFC.

I am new to using a cpap machine and I am finding it quite aggravating. The first week went surprisingly well, but now my mask (Quattro FX) is giving me all these air leaks and my headaches have become monsterous. I try to tighten the mask, but that makes it even more annoying because it is squeezing my cheeks, but it's the only thing that will stop the leaks. I have gotten to the point where halfway through the night I have to take it off because I can't get the leaks to stop and my head is hurting too badly to keep fighting with the mask. I tried to talk to my DME provider and they kept acting like something I was doing was the problem, but I do everything they tell me. I try to keep the mask loose at first but once the air leaks are never ending I have to tighten the mask. I pull my hair up, and I rinse my mask in warm soapy water everyday (as advised) I hope that just changing my mask will help.
I was reading through the forums and I saw that the Breeze was good for side sleeping, but what about back sleeping? The back headpiece looks like it could be painful if you tried to sleep on your back. Is there a mask that is good for side and back sleeping?
Thanks for whatever guidence you can give me!

DFB chief lends backing to Hoeness
The president of the German Football Association (DFB) has said Uli Hoeness' services to the game must not be forgotten, despite the Bayern Munich president being sentenced for tax evasion on Thursday.
At the conclusion of a four-day trial in Munich, the 62-year-old was condemned to a three-and-a-half year term for failing to declare 28.462 million euros in due taxes.
Wolfgang Niersbach told Munich's Abendzeitung newspaper: "The whole dimension this case has taken on in the past few days even surprised us at the DFB.
"The great achievements of Uli Hoeness for Bayern Munich and for the whole of German football will not be affected by this process.
"The legal judgment in such a case must be taken by the courts and the same rules apply to Uli Hoeness as to anybody else."
The Bavarian State Prosecutors took the view that Hoeness' reporting himself for tax evasion did not make him immune from punishment.
In February last year, Hoeness approached the German tax authorities, admitting he had withheld sums in a foreign account.
Hoeness paid the unpaid taxes, but the total amount he evaded increased from the amount he had declared - 3.5 million euros - to 28.462 million. The defendants did not contest this figure.
Hoeness' sentence will only be legally binding at the end of the appeals process. His defence solicitor Hanns Feigen announced they would be making an appeal, meaningHoeness remains a free man for the time being.
Hoeness has been with Bayern since penning a professional playing contract in 1970.
After ending his playing career due to injury in 1979, he moved into a managerial role at the club, becoming the youngest general manager of a Bundesliga club in the history of German football.
He held that position for 30 years before being elected club president in 2009 after Franz Beckenbauer stepped down, becoming honorary president.
His future with the Bavarian club is due to be discussed at board level on Friday.

While the flight was descending for landing, the airplane's engine lost power. The pilot was able restore engine power for a few seconds, but the engine then sputtered and lost power again. The pilot was unable to restart the engine, so he set up a glide for the airstrip he was descending to. There was a headwind and, when he realized he could not make the airstrip, the pilot performed a forced landing in a field. The airplane's landing gear struck the top of a tree and the airplane pitched down and impacted the ground, where it sustained substantial damage to the fuselage and tail. A postaccident examination of the airplane and engine revealed that all of the fuel tanks were devoid of fuel and only three drops of fuel were discovered in the carburetor and fuel supply line. The pilot stated that there was no evidence of any preimpact mechanical malfunction of the airplane or engine.

text: editor's obsession: slingshot shoes. August 29, 2011 Fashion is all about taking risks, not holding back, and exuding confidence. No one is preaching this mantra louder than out-of-the-box shoe designer Kobi Levi. His unique footwear just made its music video debut on one of fashion's most fearless: Lady Gaga in her latest, Born This Way. These wearable sculptures are handmade by the designer and are technically sound for truly functional high-heels that are completely unforgettable. The creative approach and playful execution of Levi's footwear collection have completely defied everything I thought I knew about the stiletto. My favorite is this Slingshot shoe that I'm counting on to catapult me into a majorly memorable fashion moment! xo,Cara Tweet COMMENTS (1) Thanks! Your comment has been submitted for approval.

Over the next three weeks, EPA Region 7 will present a series of free grant writing workshops designed for communities interested in applying for EPA Brownfields funding later this fall.
The Agency is working with the states of Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska, and the Kansas State University Technical Assistance to Brownfields (TAB) Program, to present the five workshops, including two in Nebraska, and one each in Iowa, Kansas and Missouri.
The workshops will explain EPA Brownfields funding available during Fiscal Year 2012 to assess and clean up abandoned properties.
Sessions will also discuss who may apply for the funding, how the grant application process works, and tips for writing good grant applications.

Won three Grand Slams with England
Dean Richards' reluctance to seek the limelight can reach almost pathological levels. The archetypal team man throughout an international career brought him 48 caps for England and half a dozen appearances for the Lions, he has consistently shrugged off praise and honours. Fame on a personal level is just not his scene, but his achievements on the rugby fields of the world make him well qualified to take his place on Twickenham's Wall of Fame.
With his mop of fair hair, jersey often hanging outside his shorts and his socks famously rolled down to his ankles, it is unlikely that Richards will ever be forgotten, least of all by the Italians in the 1991 World Cup.
It was his only brush with Italy and it was a feisty match at Twickenham and a game he does not recall with fondness. Nevertheless time has softened him enough for him to allow that, after what he felt was a cynical approach on that occasion, the Sixth Nation has come a long way in the intervening years.
"They have improved hugely since that 1991 World Cup match," says the Leicester legend and the world's most capped No.8.
Oddly, one of Richards' lasting memories of Twickenham features a rubbish bin. If there is ever puzzlement in the memorabilia market over the rarity of 1996 Pilkington Cup runners-up tankards, investigators need look no further than Richards for an explanation.
Tigers had just lost by a point after referee Steve Lander awarded a last-minute penalty try against them and Neil Back had shoved the match official in the back.
Richards entered the dressing room clutching his runners-up memento, a glass tankard. He spotted a large rubbish bin and lobbed the tankard in the direction of the receptacle. The intention was for it symbolically to drop into the bin, testimony to what Richards thought of the match, the referee and the day.
Unfortunately it hit the side of the bin and dropped to the floor where, in front of the rest of the Leicester team, it shattered into hundreds of pieces.
"All the other players thought I had deliberately thrown it at the wall and most of them followed suit before I could stop them," he said. "I doubt there are more than one or two of those tankards around now."
He does have far more pleasant memories of Twickenham, however. "There was an intimacy to the old stadium, with spectators just half a dozen feet from the touchline. I don't think any other international stadium had that intimacy.
"I remember the Grand Slams we clinched there in 1991 and 1992. In fact, that first Slam against France we won after having gone behind, and they scored that fantastic try counter-attacking from behind their own line."
Now Richards' induction onto the Wall of Fame – "It is a great honour for me but there are many others who deserve it more than me" – will jog a few more memories of this icon of late 20th-century English rugby.

text: I have a small dog in this fight since I am back in town now but will likely deploy soon. I got here as the previous group folded and the rebuild came from fighters wanting something to do because the Tuesday practice wasn't good for us. It started in Roak's back yard and soon we had enough folks we had to move, so we returned to the park. Eventually, it came up to form an official group. Since we fully expected the membership to swell and shrink, we opted for a Stronghold, for which we needed a Barony to support us. Bryn Gwlad gladly stepped up and supported us. I have seen nothing implying we should abandon Hellsgate for the larger Barony, but they have supported us and we, in turn, should be supporting them. Additionally, we have very few heavy fighters that are healthy to fight, so I personally see having to make trips to Bryn Gwlad practices to get any kind of improvement in my fighting. Tuesday is largely impractical when the drive gets me home as late as it would and then I ave to be up early the next morning (gas price hardly factors in). As for Sunday being the only day available for practice, I could accept practice up here any day of the week. Sunday was originally practical for the fighters and just sort of continued by tradition. Fighter practice began and IMO should remain focused on fighting, with additional activities for non-fighters. If, in order to improve my skills, I need to go outside the Stronghold, I see no reason not to make the Baronial practice ONCE A MONTH. Three weeks up here and one down there is not likely to doom the group. I will of course support the Stronghold in whatever is decided. As always, In Service, Coenred aet Rauenesdale

After months of public speculation over the arrest of former assistant for finance and operations for the Mineola School District, John Jackson, the Nassau County District Attorney's Office announced the indictment of Mr. Jackson on 20 charges including bribe receiving, criminal possession of a forged instrument, grand larceny, offering a false instrument for filing, falsifying business records, defrauding the government, theft of services, official misconduct and receiving unlawful gratuities.
Last week the New Hyde Park Rescue Team held an open house at the fire headquarters on Jericho Turnpike, New Hyde Park.
Tremendous effort was shown by the Mineola fourth grade lacrosse team as they beat Farmingdale 8 to 3. Great team play both defensively and offensively were the keys to this victory. The goalie tandem of Tevin Carlo (four saves) and Nick Miller (six saves), anchored a strong defense that held Farmingdale to only three goals. Defensively the big three which includes Bobby Dwyer (six GB's), David Faser (five GB's) and Matt Depalma (three GB's) kept the crease clear with constant pressure and big hits, allowing Farmingdale players no room to move in their offensive zone.
The Mineola Middle School Mustangs lacrosse team is now 5-0 after using a dominant second half performance to defeat Glen Cove 10-4. The game was fierce in nature from the opening face-off to the final whistle. Glen Cove used a physical style of play not seen yet this season by the Mustangs. They were caught a little off guard. Glen Cove's rough tactics allowed them to take a 2-1 lead into halftime. After taking some time to regroup, Mineola was able to start the third quarter completely refocused. The difference was like night and day. The Mustangs scored 6 straight times to open the second half as they turned a 2-1 halftime deficit into a 7-3 fourth quarter lead. Seventh grader Nick Grimaldi continued his torrid scoring pace totaling 3 goals and 3 assists on his birthday. Paul Krumholz had 3 goals an assist, all in the decisive third quarter barrage. The defense was solid again, holding Glen Cove to just 7 shots the entire game.

Angry Birds Rio: Rovio secures silver screen tie-in with animated film Rio
It's an all-new game with 45 levels, and it will be available on "smartphones and tablets worldwide." Despite making its debut on the PS3 and PSP, there's no mention of the Angry Birds Rio coming to consoles. The trailer is after the break -- and it's worth watching just for the first few seconds. The game will arrive sometime in March.
In other news, there'll also be a Valentine's Day version of the game. The backgrounds are pink, the birds are pink, and the pigs' defenses are pink. How adorable. Oh, and apparently there's also plans for an animated Angry Birds TV show. Very few details are known as yet, but of course, your trusty Bird Squad will apprise you of any new information.
[Some random trivia: the main character of the film, Blu, is voiced by Jesse Eisenberg -- who played Mark Zuckerberg in The Social Network.]

With all of the controversy surrounding New York State's teacher-evaluation mandates and the continuing debates over the validity of the common-core curriculum and standardized testing, Manhasset Public Schools Superintendent Charles Cardillo and Teachers' Union President Ed Vasta are both strongly focused on the improvement of instruction and enhancing the classroom experience for their students.
While Cardillo, who has been Superintendent since November 2005, and Vasta, who heads the Manhasset Education Association, are certainly not big fans of the increased pressures placed on students by the required tests and the impact that the results of these tests will have on teacher ratings, they are firmly convinced that their evaluation system is an asset to improving instruction.
"We started three summers ago," said Cardillo of Manhasset's Annual Professional Performance Review (APPR), now beginning its second year of implementation. "We had a district team of administrators and teachers and we spun off a sub committee from that. We already had something in place but we had to explore a new evaluation system that would be in line with the new state mandates. We worked together as a team and we looked at different models."
"We chose the Kim Marshall evaluation model, which emphasizes frequent, unannounced mini observations," explained Cardillo in an interview last week at which Vasta was also present.
Vasta, who's led the teachers for 11 years, said that adopting the Marshall system was a relatively smooth process. "We made sure that there were representatives from each building and all the grade-level areas. Even after a long exploration of the other models and after meeting with Kim Marshall, himself, several times, this seemed to work."
The key component of the system is the "mini-observation," a series of 10 unannounced observations per year, lasting about 15 minutes each. Ideally, there should be one observation a month, followed by a brief meeting with the teacher and administrator to have a discussion within 24 hours of the visit. The administrator then files a brief written report within a few days.
"By doing these frequent unannounced mini-observations," the superintendent explained, "you capture a sense of what's going on throughout the whole school year. It's authentic. Come in the middle; come at the end, come different times. You're trying to capture the essence of instruction."
Manhasset's rating system also includes a rubric covering six areas of teacher performance: planning, classroom management; delivery of instruction; monitoring, assessment and follow-up; family and community outreach and professional responsibilities. Teachers are judged in each of these categories as either highly effective, effective, developing or ineffective.
Vasta is glad to see the end of the old, traditional forms of observations. "The focus now is on what kind of learning is going on in the room. When teachers were only being seen two times a year, administrators would be writing a novel. Now, the short written report is very focused, very precise."
Both men agree that the first year of the new system was very successful. "The teachers have seen that it validates what they're doing as educators," Cardillo commented. "They saw that the administration was taking an active interest professionally in what they were doing and offering them insight as to how they could continue to grow in the teaching process."
"It's off to a better start this year," Vasta feels. "The majority of our teachers want feedback."
"The administrators are far more confident now in year two in their implementation of the plan," the Superintendent added. "The teachers' comfort level is greater. There's a greater acceptance of what our purpose is. It's a genuine goal of improving instruction. It's a collective responsibility. Everyone is striving for excellence."
"The new system has really leveled the playing field," Cardillo continued. "Traditionally, administrators spent most of their time with probationary teachers. Historically, contact between experienced, strong teachers and administrators has been limited. Now you've got to commit to improve instruction whether you're a 30 year veteran or a second year teacher."
As for the granting of tenure under the new system, "We don't want teachers who don't know their craft weighing us down," said Vasta. "The administration leans on the side of caution and is very aggressive during that two to three year process. If there is serious doubt about a teacher's ability, they don't even wait until the third year. It's actually better to let someone go if they don't have the potential. It's fairer to the students and the parents."
What about the tenured teacher? "The public is very concerned when a tenured teacher is perceived to be less than effective," the Superintendent said. "That number is maybe a handful of teachers. 'Less than effective" doesn't mean that they're 'ineffective.' The way the law is set up we don't have the liberty to easily terminate them."
Vasta concurred. "The method (of terminating a tenured teacher) has always been there," he pointed out. "It still takes a lot of work but our evaluation system provides administration with more documentation."
Standardized testing demands came in for criticism during the interview. "It's really a flawed system," says Cardillo. "Our emphasis should be on the improvement of instruction and not be bogged down by a flawed assessment program that emphasizes 'over-testing' of students. The state really should be looking at 'over-testing.' We've voiced it and we continue to voice it. We're putting kids under tremendous stress. We're not saying we're opposed to assessments. Hopefully someone will sensibly take a look back and say that we need to do some restructuring."
Turning back toward his main goal for the district's students, Cardillo said, "If we keep our eye on the target, meaning our ongoing commitment to the improvement of instruction, and really be genuine about it, I think that over a period of time there will be a tremendous gain for our kids in their overall experience in the classroom."
"Good teaching and good administration working hand in hand with the focus on the classroom experience -- that's what we're trying to promote," he concluded.

Negotiations are currently underway between the Village of Farmingdale and members of the local CSEA labor union. After a closed door executive session meeting, on Jan. 6, village trustees met with members of the labor counsel to iron out terms of a new contract proposal, which they said will hopefully meet the fancy of union leaders.
"We have sent our proposals out there," said Farmingdale Mayor Ralph Ekstrand, "we are just waiting for the CSEA membership to approve it."

A new Child Care Centerfor children ages eight weeks through Pre-K—opened at Farmingdale State College this week, which will be open to the community and the college campus.
"The College owes a great deal of thanks to everyone involved in this project," said Farmingdale State College President Hubert Keen. "This center provides a safe and nurturing environment for the children of our students, faculty and staff.
Especially for our students, the availability of quality child care can determine whether or not they are able to complete their education."

On Saturday, November 9, the MHS Girls Swim Team competed in the Nassau County Team Championships. After a strong preliminary performance on Friday, the girls had their sights set on swimming even faster on Saturday at the finals. On Friday, Manhasset qualified 14 individual swims in the top 10 and all three relays. The team also had an additional 7 swims in the consolation finals (places 11-20). On Saturday, the top 20 individuals and relays compete in each event, all finishers scoring points towards their team total.
In the championship's opening event, the 200 yd. medley relay team from Manhasset set the tone for what turned out to be a historic day in Manhasset Girls Swimming. The relay team of Grace Kenlon, Allegra Sodi, Megan Smith and Meredith Johnson finished third and set a new school record time of 1:51.96, also qualifying for the New York State Championships.

The Indians' regular season came to a close recently, but not before the boys locked up several more post-season honors to complete a highly successful campaign that brought an undefeated season as well as Division and Conference Championships. Manhasset headed into the post-season with high aspirations and battled it out with rival Wantagh High School for two weekends in a row—at both the Class Country Championships and the State Qualification race—coming up just short on both occasions, but achieving many milestones along the way.
