40 Plus The Video (1986)
40 Plus: The Video (1986)
Kelly Stewart ... Woman in her Garden; Keisha; Raven De La Croix ... Belle on a hot day in May (as Raven Delacroix); Uschi Digard ... Housemaid (as Ushi); Blake Palmer; Julia Parton ... Stewardess (as Rachel Wels); Candy Samples ... Mistress/Woman with fruit (as Miss Candy Samples)
Though issued on DVD by a hardcore label, Alpha Blue Archives, 40 PLUS: THE VIDEO is superior softcore sex spotlighting many top-heavy giantesses of the medium.
Closest to XXX is bookending footage featuring the wonderful Keisha with Blake Palmer, but it is merely strong X (erect penis in action between K's breasts), no penetration. The rest of the video is short vignettes spotlighting a bevy of beauties in masturbation mode. Principal self-pleasurer is Rachel Wels as a stewardess turned on by her own body.
My favorite was a slowly-paced, big buildup featuring Raven de la Croix, of Russ Meyer fame as a Southern belle on a hot day in May ever so gradually removing her constricting garments. Tease value here is tremendous. Far more explicit is the inevitable pairing of Candy Samples and Uschi Digard (credited on screen as simply "Ushi") as a mistress and her maid, essential viewing for their legion of fans (after Candy does a solo spot).
Keli Stewart is immensely sexy and even gets some dialog as she teases and comes on to a voyeuristic gardener's assistant watching her fiddle with her potted plants. As usual, she is worth the price of admission.
My only caveat would be that the video program would have been improved by including some hardcore material. There are many top-heavy actresses of the time, Samples & Keisha included, who went all the way, and it would have added some logical release to the terrific sexual tension created here. You know the saying, all tease and no play...

The Journal(newest to oldest):
Lost the male ram a while ago, I think it was a constipation related issue. He looked pretty healthy then just died one day. Downoi is turning into a forest. Did a trim recently, aiming to fill out the back of the tank.
Added some downoi from petsmart which seemed to do pretty well. Great for the price of about 8$! Considering some people sell it for 5$ a crown. Took a couple visits to find a healthy plant though. Also added More cardinals to fill out the school. I believe I added 7 more. Just been messing around with the trimming lately.
Did a mini rescape. Moved blyxa behind the wood, removed slate. Moved around some anubias and some stone.
Added a piece of slate under the wood to add more depth. Moved some hairgrass to the right side to fill in the missing areas.
Got some plant trades for some trimmings. Now have blyxa japonica in the tank. Also got some alternanthera reineckii from petsmart that was grown emersed, going to attempt to fill the middle behind the anubias mound with this plant. The scape is starting to come together, did a major trim about 2 weeks ago so it will take some time to fill out the back area again.
20 is pretty full of plants at this point. Rotala Verticillaris growing like a weed. Hydrocotyle Verticillata having to be trimmed weekly.
Did a major trim yesterday and donated the plants to the lfs. Tank is coming along nicely and the fish seem to be enjoying the swimming space after the trim. Pogos are starting to really thrive in the tank and are coming out of the surface often. The lily I rescued from the store also has began to really take off.
Been a while since update, had a little bga outbreak and stopped that with anti-biotics, replanted all the stems. Tanks in need of a trim. Got some gold rams today! :D
The 20g is now co2 equipped. After some fiddling with the diffuser (in conjunction with the tank flow) and bubbles per second, the tank is growing astronomically well. The above photo was taken about 6 weeks after the addition of co2. Compare how far we have come below:
First day with co2.
This tank is doing great. Had a bit of a disease issue for a while and lost some embers and galaxies. Most likely it was costia or parasite infection. Treated with aqua cure pro and kanaplex. Removed and euthanized infected fish. The cherry shrimp population is up to around 40 or 50 now displaying a variety of colors, red, brown, pinkish, rili looking etc. Just letting it do its thing and letting nature take its course. The tank is also very heavily planted with a variety of stem plants. Added 2 siamese algae eaters about 2 days ago which seem to be liking their new home. I have been dosing liquid co2 now for about a week and the plants are responding well. (battling hair algae :O)
20 is doing well, trimmed the moss a bit. Looking for a cheap co2 setup :x
Cherry shrimp been breeding as they do, have about 25 now. Letting the tank get overgrown.
Shrimp breeding like crazy, tanks getting overgrown and pretty full. Moved the java fern to the front and the root system is nice looking. Tanks doing well, had to break up the large anubias into several peices.
Long time no update, this is how the 20 looks right now, pretty planted 10 ember tetra 7 galaxy rasbora 6 cherry red shrimp 3 oto cats. 21 different types of plants, assassin snails, filter baffle. Not dosing anything. Just light and substrate.
Got a lot more plants and rearanged everything. Added some moss to the wood via fishing line and moved a lot of the slate around. In between this time and the previous date I also leveled the tank(was getting on my nerves seeing the waterline off :O. Not sure if this is the final setup, kinda like it and don't so unsure.
Planted some more plants and weighed the driftwood down with some slate.
Our first plants went in and we began soaking the driftwood in the tank(didn't have anything larger to soak it in :I)
Filled the tank, it was a little cloudy but not too bad, poked around the soil to remove air bubbles.
Brought home the new tank and set everything up.
-5g craigslist tank
-Finnex fugeray 16''
-Azoo aquasoil
-Aquaclear 20

-Mini xmas moss.
-Xmas moss

The Journal(newest to oldest):
Also been a long time since an update on this tank. It has changed a lot and I've added moss from the 20g and driftwood that was previously in the 10g. Really low maintenance tank and after about 6 months the blue velvets finally started breeding and I now have shrimplets.
A lot of the mosses died in this tank, had no cleanup crew for the glass and had huge brown algae blooms. Picked up some nerite snails(1 horned, 1 spotted with heart shaped spots :)). The Blue velvets had shrimplets and I'm assuming there is about 10 in there. Letting the tank do its thing til the shrimplets reach a larger size.
New contributions to the scape: anubias mirco and anubius nana petite. It's coming together.
Purchased some new moss off craiglist from a tpt member. (haven't got his name yet :P) Moss carpet is coming along now, just have to wait for things to grow.
This is our new project. Planning on xmas/other moss carpet with ss mesh. Stocking ideas are oebt or tiger shrimp. Possibly dario dario.
Here is our first attempt at a freshwater aquarium! Please, let us know what you think! ^_^
Our 10g!
Our tank video:
-Aquaclear 20

-Finnex fugeray 20''
-java ferns
-ada driftwood
-ryouh stones
-azoo plant grower bed
-salvinia minima
-2 amano shrimps
-1 oto meowmeows
-50+ assassin snails
-50+Cherry shrimp
The Journal(newest to oldest):
Been more than 8 months since an update on this tank! Tank has been redone with aquasoil and is now a cherry shrimp/assassin tank. Its planted with trimmings from my 20g and has new driftwood and ryouh stones. The shrimp have been doing great, started with about 5 and now have 40+. Moved the assassins over after the tank redo and they have been doing fine also.
The 10 is still alive and kicking! Lost one neon to constipation/overfeeding issue. It was a female food hog. I am now feeding less and they seem to be responding well. Lots of floating plants in this tank taking over, so far I'm liking the look and the nitrates are noticeably reduced. Have about 70+ assassin snails in this tank which are being fed algae wafers and flakes and seem to be thriving. Possibly going to sell some of them to lessen the population. Dirted tank is really awesome but the gravel does get a bit icky, mts might solve that issue but with the amount of assassins they would be instantly consumed :x.
Changed the scape on the 10 to give the neons more room. Trimmed the plants and moved the driftwood back a bit.
Replaced the stock hood with a glass top and light fixture with two screw in cfl bulbs. Added a ton of plants I picked up from someone off craigslist. Neons ottos and amanos are still doing fine. The male amano went missing for a week but showed up out of the blue just when I thought he'd left for good. Having some issues with fungus on the wood and black beard algae. Not so much since I got the new fixture though, it cuts back the light a bit.
First tank is doing good still, assassin snails breeding like crazy, have at least 40 now and feeding them algae wafers. Neons got pretty big, swords growing, some algae issues but nothing major.
Update on the 10g. Moved one of the swords to the 20g tank, anacharis is growing like crazy and managing to keep the duckweed under control. Also have tons of baby assassin snails. Might sell them to my local fish store :D The anubias second on the right had some algae problems and one of the leaves is falling off. Ruffle sword not doing too well also. Other than that all is good and the fish are happy.
Added small branch driftwood around the tank to even things out a bit. Made a moss tree with one of the branches behind the large driftwood. Trimmed some of the sword leaves that were dying off. Ended up turning the driftwood around and moving some plants around to provide a better feel to the tank.
Added anubias coffeefolia to the front center of the tank. Moved the heater to a new location because it was causing the duckweed to gather inbetween it and the filter(made a mess :( ). Java ferns growing a ton!
Weekly water change. Moved the heater to a less visible position and moved the moss onto the driftwood. Moss tree! :)
Neons getting bigger and tank still growing well, Also added 2 oto which seem to be doing well.
Tank starting to become grown. Added 3 java ferns.
Added 3 Amano shrimp! 2 females with eggs and 1 male.
Clear Water after water change.
Water a bit brownish due to leached tannin from the driftwood.
Added 4 neon tetras around this time.
Removed faux drift wood/added moss/more anacharis.
Day 1 After filling the tank(water a bit murky due to the dirt still seeping though the gravel).
Looks pretty righteous man! Keep uploading pictures of the growth down the road!
I like the look so far, those must be some happy tetras. Much better than my first "attempts"
All those tanins might be coming from your dirt. I have a 20 gallon im working on now that turned to tea after water changes. Try adding a little purigen in a nylon bag to your filter. Clears it up beautifully.
Looks good! Looking forward to more progression pictures of growth.
I really like these tank journals - certainly makes me wish I took more photos along the way.
Yep, our neons are happy little dudes. They school merrily all day long.
Yes, we had tanin problems when we added our dirt. We also had problems with the dirt and bark floating to the top. Next time, we plan on soaking our dirt longer, so hopefully that will help. To clear up the water we did partial water changes everyday for a few weeks. It was a hassle, but we've decided to steer clear of synthetic additives as much as possible ^_^.
Good luck with your 20 gallon! I hope to see pictures. We're making plans for a 20 gallon too!
are u trying to cause a problem for urself? i dont think u examined ur heater very well... i have the same one its not fully submersable.. not meant to be underwater all the way.. theres a "maximum water line" printed on the heater itself..
Nice looking aquarium. If your are like the rest of us, you are already thinking about your next (bigger) one.
nice tank, but that seems really soon to be adding fish...maybe not. are you sure the tank is fully cycled, have you been testing?
(also, those amazon swords will get HUGE in time, watch out for that)

ok now i feel dumb lol the rubber part on top was covering half of the text >.< now im in my place lol
Good looking tank
During the cycling process we observed a spike in ammonia and nitrite which the snails seemed to have no problem with(not that I wanted to expose them to toxic water, but didn't have much of a choice). The pond snails breathe air also so I don't think the water quality had a huge effect on them.
As for maintenance we are doing ~30% water changes every friday and trimming plants if needed. The shimp seem to enjoy eating some dead leaves so if theres not too many I just let them be. Going for a more natural balanced eco system(as natural as fish in glass tanks can get at least :P). At this rate the water change happens around when the nitrate reaches about 5ppm.
I'm hoping the swords continue doing well, I've already planted some of the "baby swords" that grew almost entirely in our tank(off the stems that come out). They are growing really fast. Planning to grow enough to have a decent amount of plants to move to the 20g whenever that happens. Always good to save some money!
Excuse the lengthy post ;)
Nice tank :)
I'm started my own planted tank about a month ago, so it's fun to read journals from other newbies. I'll be following yours.
BTW, how many watts on your lights?

A Better Life
June 24
Starring: Demián Bichir
Director: Chris Weitz, the guy who did About a Boy and New Moon
Fact that should not keep you from seeing it: See above.
Best for fans of: Drama, landscaping, gangs, feelings, deportation
When Carlos, an illegal Mexican immigrant, has the chance to buy his boss's truck, he sees it as nothing less than the American dream — or at least a ride to it, both for him and his son. That the truck is stolen will not surprise you. Neither will the father and son coming together to get it back. Bichir portrays Carlos as purely selfless in a way that's realistic and engaging. Carlos just wants to get the truck and get home — only he's still discovering where, what, and for whom that home can be.

A ruling by federal judge today confirmed what millions of colored people who live in or visit the Big Apple have long suspected – New York City cops are racists who loath Blacks and Hispanics.
In her 195-page ruling, federal Judge Shira A. Scheindlin found that New York City Police Department engaged in unconstitutional behavior including racial profiling in implementing the controversial "Stop and Frisk" program.
Some victims of the Stop and Frisk program filed a complaint against both NYC and the New York City Police Department that it violated the Fourth Amendment and the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
"Blacks are likely targeted for stops based on a lesser degree of objectively founded suspicion than whites," Judge Scheindlin wrote after a non-jury trial.
Brilliant Response by Judge
Judge Scheindlin rejected the argument of New York City experts that the race of crime suspects is the appropriate benchmark for measuring racial bias in stops.
The City and its highest officials believe that blacks and Hispanics should be stopped at the same rate as their proportion of the local criminal suspect population. But this reasoning is flawed because the stopped population is overwhelmingly innocent – not criminal. There is no basis for assuming that an innocent population shares the same characteristics as the criminal suspect population in the same area.
Just because Telugu bidda Raghunandan Yandamuri engaged in murder and kidnapping does not make all Telugus in America criminals!
Judge Scheindlin hit the nail on the head in her ruling:
Targeting young black and Hispanic men for stops based on the alleged criminal conduct of other young black or Hispanic men violates bedrock principles of equality.
Judge Scheindlin also came down on the NYPD's unwritten rule of stopping "the right people," police code for young Black and Hispanic men.
Racist Cops – Facts say It All
Sometimes in life the numbers say it all.
The majority of those stopped were Blacks or Hispanics and in the overwhelming majority of cases no weapon or contraband was found.
As a matter of fact, weapons and contraband were seized more often from Whites than Blacks or Hispanics.
Yet Blacks and Hispanics were more likely to be the victims of use of force by the NYC cops and stopped more often by the police.
* Of the 4.4 million stops between January 2004 and June 2012, 83% were either Blacks (51%) or Hispanics (32%) and in 10% the person was white.
• In 2010, New York City's resident population was 23% black, 29% Hispanic, and 33% white.
* 52% of all stops were followed by a protective frisk for weapons. In 98.5% of the 2.3 million frisks, no weapon was found. A weapon was found only in 1.5% of these frisks.
• 8% of all stops led to a search into the stopped person's clothing, ostensibly based on the officer feeling an object during the frisk that he suspected to be a weapon, or immediately perceived to be contraband other than a weapon. In 9% of these searches, the felt object was in fact a weapon. 91% of the time, it was not. In 14% of these searches, the felt object was in fact contraband. 86% of the time it was not.

Thinking back on our time in uniform, we'd have to say the unofficial slogan could be: "Hurry up and wait" or "No one's paying you to think" among several others so profane that decorum prohibits listing them here. Seriously, we just happened to be talking about these unfortunate and inescapable truisms recently with one of our colleagues (who is now a Colonel) while playing a game of One Up! and thought: What better way for the troops to pass the time than doing some challenging and fun intellectual calisthenics?
So we decided to show our gratitude to the men and women of our armed forces and came up with this semi-facetious "Well-(Read)" Uppityshirt. We'll donate part of the profits from this design (as well as a percentage of the sales of One Up!) to start a "Well-(Read) Army" initiative to distribute One Up! to our soldiers in uniform overseas to say thank you very much. While we can't yet send something to everyone, we will smarten up a few lucky individual units throughout the year.
Ignorance is the real enemy.
Operation Brain Storm
War doesn't have to be mindless.
If you are currently on active status in the military (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines) and would like some mental entertainment, please shoot us a quick email at Re:Up! and we'll do our best to send you and your buddies a Well-(Read) Army package. We believe ignorance is the real enemy, and we're going to do everything we can to fight it.

Wedding: 10/10/2011
The pictures on the website do not do this venue justice. I highly recommend just going there and seeing for yourself - you will be sold immediately on the views! The staff was kind, friendly and made everything easy. I needed to have a Kosher wedding that wouldn't break the bank and Michael and his team made it all happen right there. A real bang for your buck for the perfect country wedding with panoramic views of the hudson valley! Could not say enough good things about the Eagle's Nest.
Wedding: 6/15/2013
the view is breathtaking if you are in to the mountains. everything went according to schedule but dinner. Dinner took a long time but everyone said they had a great time and the pictures will be beautiful.
Wedding: 10/20/2012
Food is very important to our family, and the Eagle's Nest was the perfect choice for us. We're especially happy that we didn't miss cocktail hour because the choices included so many of our favorites. The staff was incredibly personable, the room was set up better than we had even anticipated, and we were well directed/taken care of all night. The beautiful view and setting intertwined very well with our nature theme. This is definitely a place to look in to!
Wedding: 7/15/2011
Everyone is wonderful, food, view, staff, all perfect. Cabins make it easy.
Wedding: 5/1/2011
I recently had my wedding at The Eagle's Nest and they did an amazing job. From the second I walked in there to get ready, until the time I left after breakfast the next morning, I felt like royalty. They took care of us, made sure we had everything we needed, and if any of us requested something, it was to us in a matter of minutes. The view there is beautiful, and Michael, the owner, ensures that it carries over from outside, to the inside. They made my day perfect!
Wedding: 5/30/2004
The Eagle's Nest offered approximately 40 choices for cocktail hour (we chose a package with 16 hors d'vours where most local venues only offered 4-6). The cake was included in the package. The baker on the premise was phenominal! All we had to do was show a picture of what we wanted and we got it to a 'T'! Michael (the owner) is amazing to work with. He's been in the business for years and makes you feel completely comfortable. He also gave us a free dinner for 6 so we could choose our menu and see how the staff worked. The bar doesn't close until everyone is done drinking. The open bar closes when your wedding ends, but it reopens as a cash bar for overnight guests. Parties have lasted at the Eagle's Nest until the wee hours of the morning. The wedding couple stays in the honeymoon suite for free the night of the wedding. There is a fabulous view for pictures and a porch for outdoor weddings/cocktails (we did that and it was PERFECT).;The guest rooms are a bit outdated if anyone is staying over. The honeymoon suite isn't romantic at all (I remember it looked like my grandparents room). The guest cottages have wood panneling and are very dark inside. I told my guests before hand that they're a great place to stay if you plan on drinking but I felt a bit awkward having my young cousins stay in the rooms.
Wedding: 8/22/2008
Beautiful views great service excellent food awesome dessert

High Standards for Essential Learning Demand a Mix of Measures
Published: 2000
Which Assessment Works Best? A Matching Test for Educators
Valid and Reliable? Test Your Own Task
Graduation Standards Go Public: A Different Way
Community, Politics, and the Neighborhood
One Community Action Research Project and the Standards It Met
The Senior Project: Demonstrating Academics Alongside Life Skills
What's not on the test? Teachers, students, and parents are drawing new attention to the vital skills and habits that most state tests ignore -- and asking for more and richer ways to show what they have learned.
A group of New Jersey fourth-graders spreads a map on the floor and calculates with a bar scale how far they must travel to reach Death Valley. They will use the information in the making of an animated film on national parks, including detailed material on their ecology, geography, and cultures.
At a large suburban high school near San Francisco, students spend weeks researching the school facilities crisis that faces not only their own area but the whole state of California. The project concludes with a trip to Sacramento, where students lobby legislators to enact solutions they propose.
In a year-long project required before graduation, seniors outside Seattle each choose a subject of intense personal interest, from observing gorilla communities to sound engineering technology. Guided by an outside mentor, they research their topics; apply what they learn by creating a product, service, system, or event; then defend and reflect on their learning in a public presentation.
What do we hope students learn from projects like these? How good is the evidence that they are learning it? The answers are vital -- because in the energy, engagement, and hard work of these students and many more like them, we can find clues to knowledge that remains unrecognized by the assessments most of the nation's districts and states currently use.
Teachers in Essential schools around the country are quick to reply to the first question. Using words like critical thinking, problem-solving, communication, teamwork, and persistence, they describe "habits of mind" that cut across narrowly academic disciplines. Though students must know and use subject-area content to carry out these tasks, their success depends even more on competency in these broader, cross-cutting skills.
But to the second question -- how good is the evidence of student learning? -- the answer is far less clear. What students learn through such thoughtful work does not usually show up on the kind of large-scale standardized test now common in virtually every district and state.
It's Not on the Test
In the early days of the standards movement, states typically promised to hold schools accountable for student achievement in a number of ways. But because it can seem simpler and cheaper to use test scores alone, most states are now phasing in high-stakes standardized tests as the sole indicator of whether students and schools are up to snuff.
For students denied promotion or graduation on the basis of those tests -- as well as for teachers who can lose their jobs, and schools that can face closing and "reconstitution" -- that decision has serious consequences. As it grows harder to justify anything that takes time away from test preparation, many teachers have given up project work entirely. Instead, they focus the curriculum strictly on the tests -- often using drills and worksheets sold by the testing companies themselves.
Alarmed by this trend, those who value the richly contextualized tasks that cross academic disciplines are increasingly realizing the need to assess, document, and report to the public what students are learning from such work. And they are also becoming more astute in making the political case for a mix of meaningful measures to demonstrate significant student learning.
What Knowledge Endures?
After students presented an impressive biology project on tide pools to an audience at a coastal California school, the moment of truth came for Kate Jamentz, who directs the Western Assessment Collaborative at the U.S. regional education laboratory in San Francisco, known as WestEd.
"So what do these kids know when they move to Montana?" one mother asked in the discussion that followed.
The question, says Jamentz, goes to the heart of the quandary that faces teachers in an era of information overload and multiple-choice standardized tests.
"We need to identify the enduring knowledge in these projects," she declared at "Competencies That Count," a March 2000 conference held in Oakland, California.
Jointly sponsored by the Coalition of Essential Schools and Jobs for the Future, a national organization that focuses on community-connected learning, the meeting brought together secondary teachers from around the country.
Looking closely at assignments and student work, they compared notes on how they teach and assess content, skills, and habits that transcend particular subject areas.
The tide pool project, they agreed, provides students specific knowledge about marine biology. But it also gives them vital training in scientific investigation, data analysis, presentation methods, and even teamwork -- all of which could apply just as easily to the somewhat different environmental questions that might come up in a classroom in Montana.
Building this kind of enduring knowledge requires skills and habits of mind difficult to measure in standardized assessments, these teachers noted. But to capture evidence of such learning, they needed new ways to observe, assess, and document it.
At Henry M. Jackson High School north of Seattle, for example, Judith Gray wanted her ninth-grade science students to understand not only the theories that explain the physical world, but also how scientific knowledge builds as people in each era seek out and correct fallacies in prevailing theories. Drawing on a suggestion in Neil Postman's 1996 book The End of Education, Gray designed a performance task for her final take-home exam.
"Describe five significant scientific errors scientists have made, as well as why these were errors, who made them, and who was mainly responsible for correcting them," she told her students. For extra credit, they could point out an error made in correcting the error, suggest a possible error in current thinking about science, or describe a possible error in one of their own firm beliefs.
As students explained errors and corrections from Galileo to Hubble, Darwin to Einstein, continental drift to the ionosphere of Mars, Gray got a good sense of the science each understood, and of what it would take to move their understanding along. And students learned not only the scientific facts, but the enormous impact that individuals can wield when they question -- in any field of knowledge -- the assumptions that "everybody knows."
Accountability Is Local
Once teachers like Gray have clearly defined the mix of content knowledge and habits of mind they most want students to acquire, they can arrange both instruction and assessment around those priorities. But most states also make students take standardized tests in an array of subjects. When their high stakes narrow curriculum to what will be tested, they can throw a wrench into teachers' efforts to nurture Essential school habits of mind.
With this in mind, CES's regional Center in Maine is working with four Essential high schools to dovetail state tests with a groundbreaking system of "learner-centered accountability."
Maine has its own standardized assessments to test its Learning Results, which consist of broad outcomes in the form of "guiding principles" (valuing habits of mind) and content and performance standards in eight areas. But local assessments count for far more than state tests in decisions about promotion and graduation. In Maine's tiny districts, the school itself typically remains the most important arbiter of student progress.
"Our Learner-Centered Accountability project asks each school to identify which of the Learning Results they consider most vital," says David Ruff, who directs the CES Center at the Southern Maine Partnership. "Then we help them create assessments of students' progress toward meeting those."
Teachers of the same subject at a particular grade level (like high school U.S. history) agree on a set of vital outcomes for all students. Then they devise common assessments to ensure that all students master certain basic material. Individual classroom teachers may tailor additional assessments to suit their own course emphases.
At yet another level, schools use portfolios or exhibitions to assess broader habits and skills, such as communication. These may be linked to a course or not, as with a senior project. (See sidebar, page 4.)
"The state tests serve as a validity check," Ruff says. "If we believe our students can read well, for instance, and state tests tell us they can't, we check out where the problem lies. It may lie with the state or local assessment, or the student may simply have taken the test on a bad day. This puts the focus of accountability where it belongs: in the school and community."
Standards of the Real World
As Maine's example shows, part of any accountability effort involves teachers and communities deciding which "competencies" -- among the huge number outlined in different sets of standards -- are most important to a student's future success. Many teachers at the CES-JFF conference brought examples of holding students not just to strictly academic standards, but to professional criteria used in the real world.
"The more meaningful the task in the community," noted Anne Purdy, who coordinates senior internships at Central Park East Secondary School in New York City, "the more likely it is that legitimate external partners can validate the learning involved."
At her school, older students complete 100-hour internships that culminate in a "service learning portfolio" required for graduation. If they choose to count this as one of five "major" portfolios they defend in juried presentations, students also develop a substantial project deriving from their workplace experience.
Working in the community relations office of Mount Sinai Hospital, for instance, senior Lynette Gonzalez created a bilingual newsletter aimed at reducing prenatal and early childhood exposure to toxic substances among community residents. Lynette researched and wrote informative articles on pest manage-ment, lead, head lice treatments, and PCB contaminants in fish. Then she laid out the newsletter, using desktop publishing techniques and meeting deadlines. "It felt like an endless process," she wrote in one journal entry. But by her last day on the job she and her supervisor both assessed the newsletter as a success.
Another student, Naimah Mar-tin, worked with the Educational Video Center to produce a documentary on teenagers coping with death. Her portfolio included detailed assessments of not only the sound production, research, interviewing, and directing skills she mastered along the way, but also Naimah's skills in collaboration, listening, and concentration. Finally, because Central Park East assesses all graduation portfolio presentations according to schoolwide cross-cutting standards, Naimah's project was scrutinized for its viewpoint, connections, evidence, voice, and conventions.
The presence of adults who can mentor students in real-world standards for high-quality work makes an enormous difference in projects like these. Coached by graduate students from the University of Calif-ornia, for example, students at Oak-land Technical High School carried out a six-week urban design project in a neighborhood near their school. (See sidebar, page 5.)
They began by mapping their community, getting familiar with planning and design terminology and exploring local history by interviewing residents. Then they created a detailed physical survey of the area surrounding a local subway stop, and teams of students assessed the neighborhood's politics and economy. After presenting their site analyses to each other, they held a design "charrette," pooling their observations and ideas to create a viable plan complete with a financial feasibility analysis. Ultimately, the students presented their plan to a jury of city officials and planning professionals.
In Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Stranahan High School runs a six-week summer "science research institute" in which students conduct field studies on actual environmental projects from fire management to wetlands regeneration. Mentored by environmental scientists, they obtain samples, use professional methods to analyze field and lab data, summarize current research in writing, and present their work before local county audiences. The program has won such praise that Stranahan is seeking ways to conduct others like it during the year.
Assessing Rigor and Habits
After spending two days in critique of projects like these, the educators gathered at the CES-JFF conference agreed on several elements crucial to ensuring that student tasks and assessments expect both rigor and the habits of lifelong learners:
1. Tasks should involve research that expands a student's ability to ask questions and seek answers.
2. Throughout the task, students should have adult coaches who can help them understand what high quality looks like in the areas the task involves.
3. Tasks should build in student revision, following critical feedback from key audiences, and continuing until the work meets the appropriate expectations.
4. Some means of follow-up should seek to determine what learning endures after the task is finished.
Schools can ratchet up the intellectual rigor and habits they expect, participants concluded, by requiring student exhibitions backed up with demonstrated research. Equally vital, teachers and other adults must pose hard questions to students about both the content and the process of their work. Exem-plars, too, are "at least as important as rubrics and project designs," as one teacher said, "if we want students to act as apprentices in any field of knowledge."
In Search of the Right Mix
Qualities like self-reflectiveness, persistence, creativity, collaboration, and learning by discovery are difficult to teach and assess by conventional methods, these educators worried. Equally tricky are the knowledge and ways of thinking that do not emerge when a teacher has one eye on a standardized test.
"You can test a student's recall of the names of marine organisms, for example," says Kathy Simon, CES's director of research and professional development. "But it's rare for a standardized test to get at what happens over a whole life cycle and in an entire ecosystem. What are the implications if the starfish die off?"
Schools cannot rely on state tests to assess such crucial elements of student learning, the teachers gathered in Oakland agreed. Instead, "We need a mix of pedagogical styles for kids to learn the range of knowledge, skills, and ways of thinking we're looking for," Simon asserted, "and a mix of measures to capture them."
Deborah Meier, Vice-Chair of the Coalition of Essential Schools and director of the Mission Hill School in Boston is even more emphatic. Assessing the learning of children, she says, requires "a wide range of tools, always administered individually, alongside samples of real work, plus opportunities to check them out with the child and those who know him or her best."
"If we're talking about assessment for the purpose of 'accountability' or certifying students as properly 'ready,'" she adds, "that's another story." The driver's test provides an admirable standardized performance assessment in this last context, she suggests, conceding that "few intellectual skills lend themselves to this format." Schools should leave the certifying to colleges or workplaces, Meier argues, and concentrate instead on meeting the learning needs of individual students.
Inventing New Methods
In fact, many interesting tries at assessing competencies that transcend academic areas have emerged for use in high schools, community colleges and workplaces, notes Lili Allen, a senior project manager at Jobs for the Future. She is assembling a "road map" describing these methodologies, including several in use at Essential Schools.
For example, transcripts developed by California's Transitions Project and by the New Hampshire Department of Education focus on documenting such competencies for post-secondary institutions and em-ployers. And the Massachu-setts Work-Based Learning Plan has tools to give feedback to students in programs that link academic and career-related classes with work-based learning.
Schools in Fort Worth, Texas have tried out the "applied learning standards" designed by the New Standards Project, a partnership between the National Center on Education and the Economy and the University of Pittsburgh. Part of a package of performance standards that includes English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, these define skills like problem-solving and communication, calling for their integration and assessment as part of products or performances associated with academic assignments.
Finally, New York City's small Essential high schools are among many who track data on how their graduates fare after high school, in what Theodore Sizer calls "the ultimate assessment." One can learn much, he points out, from students whose strengths do not show up on test scores, but who are doing well in college and life because of habits they learned in school.
What Role for State Tests?
More conventional standardized tests can provide interesting large-scale data about issues of equity and access, these teachers agreed. Some states, for example, test only literacy and math skills, to identify programs that fail to give students equal opportunities to learn. And teachers at the conference praised certain state tests for prompting higher-order thinking.
But all emphatically objected to systems that reward or punish students and schools on the basis of such test scores. Instead, they called for a balanced assessment system that could guide their teaching practice day to day, honoring the real learning needs of students.
"A baseball coach doesn't look only at win-loss records when he works with a team," said Kate Jamentz. "What would that tell him? To build his players' skills, he also needs to observe a lot of other things about what his players can and can't do. He needs to see what's getting in the way of their scoring, and work on those things until they're doing better."
It's the relationship between the "win-loss record" and the diagnostic information that schools most need today, she asserted. "Other-wise, we're like a hospital that has mortality statistics but no X-ray machines," she said. "We know who's not achieving, but we don't know what to do about it." o
Which Assessment Works Best? A Matching Test for Educators
Match the statement at the top with the appropriate method from the list at the bottom. (Some methods may apply to more than one item)
1. I want to figure out how to improve my teaching in my classroom.
2. I want to figure out how to revise my classroom curriculum.
3. I want to figure out how to place students in different levels of instruction.
4. I want to assess students' "habits of mind" (such as evaluating evidence or making connections).
5. I want to assess the basic skills of literacy or numeracy.
6. I want to assess what content knowledge students have in a specific area.
7. I want to figure out how to improve our school's program or set new school-wide goals.
8. I want to check whether all students have the opportunity to learn at challenging levels.
A. I analyze scores of my students on a standardized test that ranks students on a curve in companison to all other students in the state or nation who took the same test (a "norm-referenced" test).
B. I analyze scores of my students on a standardized test that measures whether a student has reached a particular level (such as "basic" or "proficient") in relation to a particular set of state or national standards (a "standards-referenced" test).
C. I ask my students to show me that they can "do" the subject I have taught, by using the knowledge and skill in carrying out a complex task to the standards set in my classroom or school.
D. I develop and give my students a written test or quiz (multiple- choice, short-answer, or essay) that draws on the specific knowledge and skills I have been teaching.
E. I solicit my students' thoughts through an interview, survey, or written reflection.
F. I analyze student work using rubrics that describe performance at various levels.
G. I observe students at work on a project.
Valid and Reliable? Test Your Own Task
Teachers who like to use activities or projects to bring instruction to life may also assume that such activities make valid and reliable assessments of what a student understands. Not necessarily, warns Grant Wiggins in his 1998 book, Educative Assessment -- but it's simple to check, using these two questions:
1. Could the student do well at the task for reasons that have little to do with the desired understanding or skill being tested?
2. Could the student do poorly at the task for reasons that have little to do with the desired understanding or skill?
If either answer is yes, Wiggins says, either the task is an invalid measure or the evidence it produces will be insufficient or misleading. Instead, before designing an assessment the teacher should state precisely:
-What new skills and knowledge the student should be able to demonstrate.
-What constitutes the necessary evidence of that learning.
-Where one must look for that evidence.
Graduation Standards Go Public: A Different Way
How can a school ensure that its graduates are meeting community standards? Seniors at Maine's Yarmouth High School help teachers design a year-long seminar course that explores a series of interdisciplinary topics (like "race, culture, and identity") from the perspectives of science and humanism. Working alone and in groups, they read and discuss texts and pursue their individual research.
At a culminating "roundtable exhibition," each student formally presents work from the course, as well as a reflective cover letter, to a panel of teachers, students, and community members. While the panelists are evaluating their presentations and cover letters, students receive two new articles to read. To end the afternoon, in a final public test of the students' critical reading and thinking, audience members engage them in an impromptu discussion of the articles they have just read. Among the suggested questions they ask students:
Panelists play an important role in assessing the cover letter (for content, organization, style, and mechanics), the presentation (for content, organization, and delivery), and the impromptu discussion (for substance and delivery). The audience's role, say teachers Alan Hall and Craig Lepine, is to move the student's learning forward and bring out the student's ability to think clearly and make connections.
Community, Politics, and the Neighborhood
Embedding assessment into classroom instruction entails setting clear objectives for what students will be learning, and then designing both activities that will get them there and ways to tell whether they did. If teachers do this, they can use class discussions and project work as a means of assessing what their students know without using conventional tests.
Students discuss how goods and services are distributed in distressed communities, including how retail and commercial clients -- such as the Oakland Raiders or the downtown ice rink -- make decisions on where they will locate. To understand the multiplier effect of circulating capital locally, they use diagrams of money flow (to employees, to sales tax, to national headquarters, etc.) and explore the trade-offs between national chain stores and locally owned businesses. To prompt student inquiry and assess their understanding of these economic principles, teachers note their answers to questions like these:

One Community Action Research Project and the Standards It Met
Eleventh and twelfth grade students in "Academy X," a leadership and humanities academy at Sir Francis Drake High School in suburban Marin County, California spent nine weeks researching the school facilities crisis that faces not only their own area but the whole state.
Working in groups, the students researched the facilities problem by meeting with school officials and state policy-makers and visiting schools. Next, groups prepared a variety of tools (web sites, videos, written proposals) to publicize the problem and their proposed solutions. The project concluded with the students arranging a trip to Sacramento (complete with press coverage), where they lobbied legislators to enact their suggestions.
"The essential question for Academy X's year of learning, was: What do I need to know in order to effect positive change in my community, my school, and myself?" says Bob Lenz, one of a team of social studies, English, and Workplace Learning teachers who led the project, known as Community Action Research Go! (or Cargo). "We wanted students to have a real world context for their study of government, economics, and oral and written communication."
Some of the project's other goals for student learning:
Students were expected to finish their research and "deliverables" at a professional standard, and their products were assessed using rubrics the students devised. The following individual and group tasks were also assessed:
Students spent two 90-minute periods weekly for nine weeks (a total of 14 hours) on the project, as well as out-of-class time as necessary. In the process, Lenz believes, they met both broad and specific standards set by their state and district, having to do with:
"This project could be scaled down, using only the Internet and the phone for research, desktop publishing for the report, and a trip to the local government," Lenz points out. "Or it could be scaled up -- perhaps a trip to Washington D.C." He has compiled the details in a CD-Rom-based portfolio complate with sample student work and rubrics, which he presented to teachers from around the country at "Competencies That Count," a conference sponsored in March 2000 by the Coalition of Essential Schools and Jobs for the Future, a Boston-based organization focused on community-connected learning. For more information about the project, contact Bob Lenz at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Senior Project: Demonstrating Academics Alongside Life Skills
Schools around the country have turned to Senior Projects as a way to synthesize and demonstrate a student's intellectual as well as life skills. Typically, such projects arise out of students' individual passions or interests and are mentored by an outside expert in the field. At Henry M. Jackson High School outside Seattle, students spend an entire year pulling together their independent projects. A few of some 350 projects presented at Jackson High School in 2000:
Senior Project is a year-long class at Jackson, and the work is assessed throughout, with rubrics for each stage. The May presentation culminates the process, with students describing to a jury of Senior Project teacher-assessors their guiding questions, research, project activities, and resulting learning. Guidelines for each stage are explicit, as follows:
Preliminary Steps (September through mid-November)
Project Phase I (Annotated Bibliography and Project Activities) (mid-November through early April)
Step I. Preliminary Investigation 1.
Step II. Guiding Questions
Step III. Annotations and Citations
Step IV. Project Activities and Documentation
Presentation Phase (mid-April to mid-May)
Reflective Phase (late May and early June)

I've decided to start my own hair tips e-course. And not just any hair tips, but tips on how to make thinning hair look thicker (and make it stop falling out and if at all possible regrow).
What do I know about this?
Well… for starters, I had my hair get really thin when I was about 35 when I went through chemotherapy for breast cancer (check out my book on that at my other website (and I'm going to write more about it tomorrow right here).
But it was almost as if I really didn't need any help. It seemed that my genes had already planned for my hair to fall out big-time. When I told my dermatologist that my mother had a serious problem with that once she got near menopause, my dermatologist prescribed Rogaine, even before the FDA approved it for women! (and yes, I needed a prescription back then).
And my hair got thicker again. But eventually, I slacked off, and my hair, well, it sort of stayed there for a while, but eventually, it started thinning again. A LOT.
I didn't want to use Rogaine again (okay, I bought a few bottles, but I didn't really want to get into that routine for the rest of my life).
And then, something happened… A friend of mine, whom I hadn't seen in quite a while, and whose hair was very much thinning too (much more than mine), suddenly sported nice thick hair again.
So I asked him, what he did… He told me. I did the same. And guess what!
My hair stopped falling out (well, at least fewer hairs fell out than grew back), so gradually, my hair thickened. In the meantime, I did a lot of research on what makes hair fall out and what makes it grow back etc., and especially on what you can do to make it look good in the meantime.
And so here it is: My e-course, with everything I know in it, and with some things I'm going to find out in the course of my ongoing research.
Just this moment, I'm doing a testing series of a few thickening shampoos. You'll be among the first to find out the results…
IF… you sign up for the ecourse right here:
And, yes, I will keep your information confidential. I won't share it or sell it or anything like that. Nobody will find out about it. Plus, you'll be free to unsubscribe at any time.
So if you want to find out all the information I've accumulated about the care and feeding of a nice head of hair, this e-course is for you.
If you want to find out more about what you'll learn, you can also go to my thinning hair remedy info page and sign up there.
