Only male teachers need apply
New hiring policy based on speculation, not real data
Would more male teachers, or more visible minorities, translate into a better education system?
This week, the Globe and Mail reported that the Toronto District School Board, in order to ensure its teachers reflect the demographics of its student body, is giving preference in hiring to males and visible minorities, including aboriginals and francophones.
The gross majority of teachers at the TDSB are female and white. The board considers that to be a problem in a city where just less than half the student body is male, and nearly three-quarters are visible minorities.
Still, the reaction to the memo by existing teachers was not positive. "They're not willing to look at anyone who is white and female," an unnamed teacher told the Globe. "It (a job opening) should go to the person who is best for the job."
The irony here is quite thick; this is, after all, one of the only instances in which women can assume the role of the oppressed majority.
In many job classifications, it is women who are included with other minorities in the category of the disadvantaged. Programs to boost the number of women or visible minorities by giving them priority in post-secondary school admission or hiring are still considered by many to be controversial. Critics hold that view, even though by now, these practices are recognized as a legitimate, legal solution to inequality.
However, there are several factors in this story that make it different from other tales of affirmative action.
The shortage of visible-minority teachers is perhaps easy to explain. In cities such as Toronto, the increase in the sheer numbers of visible minorities has proceeded much faster than the teaching profession's ability to train and employ visible-minority teachers.
Over time, with more minorities graduating from high school and university, one would assume the face of the teaching profession would change.
The situation is much different when it comes to men. From England and the United States to Australia and Canada, there is a critical shortage of male teachers. In some jurisdictions, including some in Canada, women make up more than 80 per cent of primary school teaching ranks.
How could this have happened, you may ask? Remarkably, it appears the biggest problem is very few men seek it out as a profession.
Some believe having fewer male teachers discourages male students at an early age from seeking a career as a teacher. Others hypothesize women have come to dominate the teaching ranks, so men no longer feel welcome.
Surveys of male teachers have found many believed because of their interest in working with children, they are too often viewed as potential pedophiles. A 2010 Ontario survey of male teachers found one in six had faced allegations of "inappropriate contact with students." Others have claimed they have been sexually harassed by the female majority.
The other problem here is apart from what appears to be a lack of interest in teaching as a profession, the benefits of hiring more men are not entirely clear.
Advocates for hiring more men, for example, start with concerns about the declining academic performance of boys and dwindling numbers of young men attending and graduating post-secondary education. In the U.K., for example, girls are graduating secondary school at twice the rate of their male classmates and entering university at four times the rate of young men.
The absence of male teachers, particularly at the primary school level, is often cited as a key element in these troubling trends. Boys and girls learn differently, and there has been a growing concern many female teachers are not relating with their male students. This view is bolstered by surveys of male students, who often believe female teachers give lower grades just because they are boys.
There is a fairly broad agreement in education circles that more men and visible minorities would help some male and minority students succeed in their educational careers. However, other than surveys in which students express these preferences, incontrovertible data linking academic performance and teacher gender are not easy to come by. For that reason, and because full-time teaching jobs are very hard to come by in most communities in this country, most teachers' unions and the female majority within teaching ranks have, in general, opposed hiring quotas.
Most educators are reluctant to concede a female teacher cannot effectively teach a male student, or vice versa. They would similarly argue a white teacher, if he or she was good at what they did, could teach a child of any cultural or ethnic background. However, trends that see male students struggling to keep up with female classmates certainly raise questions, not about whether they could, but whether they are motivating all students of all gender, race or ethnicity.
A commentary on this issue posted on the website of the Alberta Teachers' Association quoted, of all things, The Karate Kid in a bid to remind us of one of the fundamental truths in education. "No such thing as a bad student," Mr. Miyagi tells his young charge Daniel Larusso in the 1984 movie. "Only bad teacher."
Perhaps more males and minority teachers would help the education system connect with student groups that are struggling. Or, perhaps this is a wake-up call for the teaching profession to figure out ways of better connecting students and teachers, regardless of gender or ethnic background.

A North Platte man who faced a 90-day sentence for two misdemeanor thefts now faces a felony escape charges because he didn't report to jail.
Seth Jackson, 25, was convicted April 8 of stealing a large roll of fiber optic cable from a Century Link storage yard, as well as copper wire from a city storage yard.
In exchange for a no contest plea, a trespassing charge was dismissed.
Lincoln County District Judge Donald Rowlands sentenced Jackson to 90 days in jail in lieu of $7,000 in restitution and ordered him to check in to the Lincoln County jail on April 17, but he didn't show up, so a warrant was issued for his arrest.
Police caught up with Jackson at around 8:15 p.m. on May 13 at a house in the 600 block of West 11th.
Jackson was trying to slip out the back door when officers caught him, according to the police report.
He was taken into custody without futher incident and jailed.
Bond is set at $100,000.

Top list: Hornacek, Malone assume new coaching positions compilation of other notable NBA players turned coaches
The Utah Jazz announced Wednesday that Hall of Famer Karl Malone will join the franchise's coaching staff in some capacity to help mentor the team's big men. Earlier in the week, one of Malone's former teammates, Jeff Hornacek, was hired as the new head coach of the Phoenix Suns.
Hornacek, previously an assistant in Utah, and Malone are part of a long list of former players turned coaches.
According to a study done by researchers at Cornell University and the University of Warwick in the United Kingdom, former basketball players who had long careers, or were selected as All-Stars, had statistically higher winning percentages as head coaches.
"Having a former All-Star player as your coach is worth about six extra places in the NBA rankings in team winning percentage," said Larry Kahn, a professor of labor economics and collective bargaining at Cornell's ILR School. "We were surprised at the strength of the statistical evidence."
Using data from 15,000 basketball games between 1996 and 2004, researchers found that teams coached by former NBA All-Stars had an average winning percentage of .495, while coaches who were not All-Stars had an average winning percentage of .376.
As Hornacek and Malone assume new coaching positions, here is a list of NBA players turned head coaches.

Brrrr, I live an hour from Boston and it was chilly this weekend. But kids, esp. girls at that age can be difficult to dress, as they have their own very firm opinions on what they want to put on. Still, I would have tried to compromised with her a bit., Maybe tights and a long sleeve shirt under the dress. Oh well, Suri will survive, I'm sure. :shrug:

The northeast is chilly this weekend--quite clearly fall weather and not summery at all. I agree dressing the child in normal appropriate clothes would seem the obvious no brainer choice if she has an aversion to coats/jackets. Guess that wouldn't look as cute as the sleeveless dress for the paid photo ops maybe?

Export/Import are not Backup/Restore. When you export a note/checklist, its text content is saved as .txt file 'without' meta data like color, priority, folder, etc.

Enjoy simple living at the beach! Third row from the ocean with awesome views, 3rd Watch is a coastal cottage, ideal for couples or small families.
Located in the heart of Emerald Isle at 102 Shell Drive, 3rd Watch is conveniently located near quaint shopping areas, restaurants and entertainment. Explore Emerald Isle on our towns biking and walking trails. Enjoy ocean views and breezes from the deck or just steps away, place your feet on the sandy beaches for sunbathing and shelling.
3rd Watch has been locally owned and maintained since it was built with a strong emphasis on cleanliness.

Keywords: Cottage
We are a local family and count ourselves very fortunate to live and raise our children in Emerald Isle and the surrounding areas. We enjoy all water related activities and using our bikes as our mode of transportation around town.
Emerald Isle is a family beach, safe for children, clean, with ample activities but not too commercialized. We love it here and enjoy sharing all there is to offer with others.
Lots of decking at 3rd Watch allows you to enjoy beautiful oceanviews, sun bathing or simply enjoying the ocean breeze while rocking away a lazy summer afternoon. We have ample rockers as well as a hammock. The beach access is just steps away and is a nice, wooden boardwalk crossing over the dune to the Atlantic. There is also beach access across a sandy walk.
We had a great week at 3rd watch. The house was awesome. Perfect for our family with three young children. There are two beach accesses very close by. One of them is all sand and has no stairs, which is helpful for getting young kids and all the gear to the beach. The beach was excellent with a very gradual slope. The kids really enjoyed the sand and water. We liked the open layout of the kitchen, dining area, and TV area. The Wi-Fi worked great. We all enjoyed the outdoor shower. The mini golf and Food Lion were fun to walk to, about 0.4 miles away. The ice cream shop and the pier were about 1.0 mile away. Definitely would recommend this house. Linda was very helpful. She answered all of my questions and replied quickly. My wife even lost her driver's license at the house and Linda helped coordinate its successful return. Great beach house!
We were so very excited to visit Emerald Isle when we made this reservation in January. The description of the property and the location was just what we were looking for. We are very happy to report that the property exceeded our expectations in every aspect. As others have reported, the property is really quite close to the beach where a quick run back to the hose for something that was forgotten is easy and not a burden. The neighborhood is clean, quiet and well suited for vacation life. It really is very close to everything you would need during your stay, but not so close to the stores that there is additional traffic. The house itself is fantastic. It is very well kept and maintained and is festively decorated to make you feel right at home at the beach. I was very impressed with the kitchen and how well it was stocked with dishes, pots, pans and utensils. We had planned to eat in for several meals during our stay and cooked a variety of dishes and there was no lack of anything that we needed to cook or serve with. Very impressive. The house is very well maintained and clean. It was made even easier by the linens provided. The owner was very responsive to the one request we had at the beginning of our stay. I have to admit that we did not make any additional requests because we lacked nothing that was needed. Also, there are many activities and restaurants close by that made things easy as well. There is a Food Lion within a healthy walking distance (0.3 miles?) as well as a hardware store. Our favorite restaurants were Michaelangelos pizza (near the Food Lion) and Jordan's Seafood Restaurant (about a mile up the island). Also the fishing pier is only about 0.7 miles up the beach, an easy walk from the house. All in all we were very impressed with this location and are making arrangements to stay again next year. This is an easy decision for our family. When you have found the perfect location, why change it?
Loved this home and fell in love with the island. Great location with stores near by and the ocean only a small walk away! Best vacation I have had in years with my teenagers. The house was very neat and clean with all updated kitchen. It was truely a wonderful home away from home and I cannot wait to return. Linda the owner, was very helpful and always just a phone call away. Wonderful vacation for the money and we will stay again.
Just returned from a week's stay at this house with my family- my wife and two children-age 3 &6. The house was awesome- great location, very clean, nice layout, and very quiet. The beach boardwalk is 2 minutes away- close enough to go back home for that extra bucket of ice. We all walked with our cooler and chairs daily to the beach. The owner Linda was always available by phone, both before the trip and during our stay. She was very kind and willing to assist with anything. This house is also walking distance to the grocery, movie theater and ice cream stores. I recommend this house to any group or family of up to six. The nearest beach was never crowded-unlike other areas north or south of us.
I just returned yesterday from my stay at 3rd Watch, and I was not disappointed in the least. The house was just as described. It was decorated simply but beautifully, and the relaxing beachy colors set the tone for a trip to just enjoy tranquility and solitude. The house was spotless and fresh smelling when I arrived. The bed was so comfortable, I slept better than I had in years! It was a quiet area, a short walk to the beach, with a public beach access nearby. The kitchen was adequately equipped, even though I didn't really make use of much other than the coffee maker! The owner was so pleasant to deal with. After I had booked the stay, she had informed me that there may be siding work being done on the house during my one full day there. (I had booked a 2 day trip.) Upon request, she very kindly rescheduled that work to be done after my departure, and I could not be more grateful! There was not an abundance of things to do on the island, but if your goal is solitude, as mine was, that's not a problem. Had I traveled with my teenagers, that might have been an issue, but I have no complaints at all regarding my stay. I will definitely consider booking 3rd Watch for future trips!
We really enjoyed staying at the 3rd Watch cottage. There were four adults and a 15 month old and we all were very happy. It is so close to the beach which is extremely convenient and easy to carry beach things to and from. The house was very clean and we enjoyed the fully stocked kitchen which we used to cook a few times. The deck was great to relax on. There is also a walking/biking/running trail very close that we used every day. You can walk to multiple restaurants, a Food Lion, coffee shop, etc. We really like having laundry on site as well and the shower in the back of the house for de-sanding from the beach. We will definitely return.

Bath photos
My current obsession is designing a kitchen, but I thought I'd share some photos and the story of our bath project from a few years back.
DW wanted to do contemporary and I wanted a more traditional look. So we compromised and did a contemporary master bath and a traditional guest bath.
Guest bath: tile is Original Style glazed wall tile and unglazed encaustic floor tile. I had a lot of fun with the floor tile pattern -- I saw the pattern in a design book but with the tiles set square to the room. I decided I liked it better with the rows of dark squares square to the room, which places the tiles themselves at an angle. (I liked the pattern so much I repeated it as a design motif in the shower.) I spent many hours using Trig formulas to calculate the non-square angles, and even made a template, but the tiler just laughed at me and said he'd done a few of these before, he could just lay it out by hand -- so much for my "original" idea.
We created the shower alcove by poaching space from the adjoining bedroom -- the original bath had a 4' long "mini" tub at the far wall. We needed a way to get air to the Bain Ultra in the master bath, and didn't want to disrupt the visual continuity of the tub's tilework with an air grate, so we installed the motor remotely in the guest bath with a removeable cover with air slots. The lav is a Duravit Happy D with Dornbracht Madison -- the wall mounting let us minimize the projection of the basin into the very narrow room. You may notice there is NO counter space for storage of toiletries -- our guests have noticed this too! We are still looking for the right piece of furniture to go next to the sink, and also plan on replacing the mirror that is there now with a medicine cabinet/shelf combination.
Master: we sacrificed a bedroom for the master bath. The mosaic tile is from Briere, floors are Mexican concrete tile. Story on the floors: the tiler decided on his own initiative to use 1/4" grout lines after we had specified 1/8". He thought it "just looked better". He had laid the entire floor before we found out. We contemplated making him tear up the floor and buy us new tiles, but the tiles had taken 3 months to order, and the project had been going on for so long, so we gave in. Still think the 1/4" is too wide, but so it goes. Vanity is honed absolute black, faucets and thermostatic shower set are Dornbracht Tara. The vanity support was custom fabricated for us -- it connects to "L" brackets that are bolted to the studs -- it's VERY sturdy. The metal fabricator thought I was crazy when I told him to just polish the raw steel and clear-coat it instead of paint it.
The shower detail photo shows how we built a "ledge" for shower supplies, as an alternative to a tiled-in nook. For those comtemplating a doorless shower: I love it, DW tolerates it but misses the "steam room" effect of a traditional shower enclosure.
The side of the tub has a "secret" access panel that is actually grouted in place, but can be removed in case of emergency, if you know which grout lines to grind out.
The whole project took about 9 months from demo to completion. The biggest delay was in getting a tiler (the original contract did not include tile, since we had not selected our tile at that point). The GC told us he had a great tiler lined up for us -- he had been featured numerous times on "This Old House". That should have been a warning sign. We met with the tiler and went over the designs...he'll have a price for us in a week. Two months later, the price came back...20k for the tile job, labor only. Well, what do you expect for a TV star? So, back to the drawing board. Eventually found an excellent tiler to do the job for 8k plus materials. Seems expensive, but actually I think he underbid -- the job took him and his assistant 3 full weeks. We had a concrete "mud job" poured over the subfloor before the tile was laid -- this allowed us to create a level floor (both floors were originally off level by 1" or more).
We did all the design work ourselves, with consultation with the GC's designer, who told us when we had really stupid ideas (neither of us has any design background). I used Broderbund's Home Architect to do floor plans and elevations for the tile design.
We call these our "dot com" baths because they were done in 1999 when we were giddy with tech bubble insanity (I worked for an Internet company at the time). I won't say what we spent, but it was a lot, or at least it seems like a lot now as we are trying to design our kitchen for MUCH LESS than the cost of these baths.
Wowza! Both the baths are absolutely fantastic but I love your Master Bath. Its so well put together that it looks huge and spacious and well-lit. Everything is just so well thought out - this is going to be the bathroom that I base the design of my much smaller MB on.
I'm also in Massachusetts and am curious, as I'd like a walk-in shower as well. Do you think that if you had a pane of glass that extended further out along that wall that you'd be warmer? Am loosely basing a shower on yours but thinking that since there's no way I could have this huge stretch of shower area that you have, that maybe we could have a 2 foot deep recess (borrows from a closet in the room nextdoor) but maybe a 4 foot pane of glass to collectively define the shower area and then the 3 foot "walk-in". Do you think, based on your experience that that may be less draughty?
Love your honed Absolute black counters. Where do you keep your bathroom cleaning supplies and toiletries, may I ask? I love how clutter free your bathroom is, but I don't see any storage and am wondering how you fare.
Thanks so much for these beautiful pics.
I have added our floor plan diagram to the photo album.
The floor plan should give you a better idea of the dimensions and layout. The main shower is 3' wide by 5'2" deep, and the 'landing zone' between the shower and tub is 3'2" x 3'. The recessed section (with the shower head) is 2' deep. I can't comment on the draughtiness of alternative layouts since I have only used the shower we have!
re: clutter free counters. OK, I cheated for the photos -- we are not really neatniks most of the time. But there is plenty of storage space -- recessed medicine cabinets behind the mirrors, and a closet and more shelves in the passage between bath and bedroom.
mrb, I like both baths a lot. Very clean, and your 'trig' ideas make me think of my own dh who is an engineer and once seemed to be reinventing the wheel for our gc. We soon learned that he 'knows' his stuff even if it is not thru book-larnin'.
Love the small glass? tiles, but know the cost is beyond our plans. I still enjoy looking and am glad you can enjoy them.
Your bathrooms are absolutely beautiful! Our guest bath was supposed to be a black and white retro look. The installer mutilated the tile job so badly(despite their very high prices.) I am thinking of having it torn out and starting over. Can you tell me what color grout you used in your guest bath on the black tile? They used black grout on ours, next to the white tile. The black grout seems to have run and they were very sloppy. It looks like a first grader did the bathroom. I was told it is possible to color over all of the grout - yours looks so perfect - was wondering what you used.
RSMB: we used a gray grout everywhere, in both bathrooms. We hadn't even thought about grout color, so we just went with the tiler's recommendation. I'm sure using a single color made his work easier, but in retrospect I think that using a single color (as opposed to different colors for different tiles) works well to unify the tile job.
I love your master bathroom! Thanks for the information on the beautiful blue tile, I'm planning on getting samples. We want a blue mosaic like yours for our bath surround, but the samples of glass mosaics we saw either looked too much like plastic, or were too expensive. Thank you so much for suggesting the alternative of colorful ceramic mosaics from the Briare company.

Open Office 3: Beta with more Extensions
The Open Office project has just released version 3 of the free office package.
The biggest change, according to the changelog is the way the software handles extensions.
Extensions include dictionaries, which are extremely simple to install. If the dictionary scope changes, users receive an update message and can install the extended version. Changes to the user interface make it easier for users to install add-ons. In future the system will be identifiable by the "oxt" suffix, and will auto-install when double-clicked.
Open Office normally warns users when they import Visual Basic macros, however, this warning can be ignored by enabling an additional function. Open Office uses the interoperability API to execute the macro code. Another feature - Calc now supports collaboration: a new feature gives multiple Open Office Calc users the ability to work together on Calc spreadsheets, monitor changes and block cells if needed. Continuous updates ensure that all users see the changes.
Finally, there are many smaller changes. The database menu now lets users insert and delete records, charts offer more flexible graphics by supporting perspectives and notices in documents are far more attractive.
Another tip: if Open Office 3 launches too slowly for your liking, the tip in this blog will help accelerate the free office suite. If you are interested in Open Office 3, you can either wait for an update of the distribution or download the current beta version from the product page.

Guerlain's Sous le Vent EdT, comparing vintage and reissue — thanks you know who! The European regulations has hindered the original composition's level of oakmoss which leaves the reedition a fraction nearer to a fougère than to a chypre, less dry, less bitter, more aromatic and sparkling (a bit like what new Vetiver or new Mitsouko are to the old ones).

Invesco has launched a new institutional portable alpha strategy that combines traditional international equity index exposure with the firm's global tactical asset allocation capability.
The Invesco GTAA Alpha Overlay - International Equity strategy, initially funded with USD500m last December, is designed to outperform the MSCI EAFE Index with a low correlation to traditional markets.
'This new strategy was created in response to client interest in increasing their exposure to international equities while seeking non-traditional sources of alpha such as GTAA,' says Kirk Holland, managing director of Invesco's Atlanta Investment Group.
Launched in 2001, Invesco's GTAA strategy is managed by the firm's Atlanta-based multiple asset strategies investment team, which manages GTAA and multi-strategy portfolios for clients worldwide. The investment approach encompasses a disciplined, quantitative, three-step investment process that emphasises a wide breadth of decisions across asset classes, countries, currencies and commodities.
Invesco is an independent global investment manager that operates under the AIM, AIM Trimark, Atlantic Trust, Invesco, Invesco Perpetual, PowerShares and WL Ross brands, offering investment products and services to retail, institutional and private wealth management clients worldwide.

I knew I wanted a 1/16 for a while, but had a hard time choosing which one. The E-Revo is just badass , the KB Rally looks great but is limited to street, the Mustang 302 and Kyle Busch truck are fun/unique, the Summit would be the most capable offroader, and the 1/16 Slash would be the best middle-ground.
Most of the MERVs on craigslist are asking $300, but I found a KB rally for $180 that I can play with and convert to offroad as I please.
Is there anything I should look for when examining the truck? Also, as someone who wants to experiment with all applications of the 1/16 platform, is the KB Rally a good starting point or should I spring for an ERevo?

by Mark Steyn • Mar 12, 2015
I've written many times about the Islamic State's ingenious use of social media – or, as they've brilliantly transformed it, anti-social media. These guys really are on – what's the phrase? – the cutting edge. By contrast, the 12-year-old zeitgeist-surfers running communications at the Obama Administration are clumsy, cack-handed, and worse than useless. Even though it's a mere droplet in the bottomless sinkhole that is the US federal budget, I deeply resent having to pay for the halfwit embarrassments of "Think Again Turn Away" – the State Department's social-media outreach strategy for countering "violent extremism".
Here's a recent Tweet from the geniuses at State:
In open societies, all faiths enjoy freedom of speech; under #ISIS rule, no such thing as freedom of expression.
And beneath it was the photograph at right – "a group of burqa-clad women promoting Sharia law", under the approving slogan:
Muslims coming out inviting society to #Islam
That's one way of putting it. In fact, the body-bagged crones are asserting the superiority of Islam over your society – that's to say the superiority of Sharia over what they call "man-made law".
The women are promoting Sharia not in, say, Turkey or Indonesia, but on what appears to be a street in Britain.
Why is the State Department promoting Sharia for the United Kingdom?
And, given that that the "man-made law" in question is English Common Law, which is the basis of American law, why by implication is the State Department promoting Sharia for the United States? Aren't they supposed to uphold the Constitution of the United States?
Sharia is incompatible with that constitution, as it is with the entire legal inheritance of western civilization.
You might make the case that the US Government is simply demonstrating how absolute is its commitment to free speech – although given that President Obama and Secretary Clinton got that video-maker tossed in jail and did a cringe-making ad for Pakistani TV apologizing for him, I would doubt that.
But, even so, our enemies are not interested in our "fairness"; they're interested in winning – which is one reason why they attract tens of thousands of the west's nominal citizens. And, when the best you can do to counter that is tell them, "Hey, why go all the way to Syria and Iraq when you can stay home and hollow us out from within?", they rightly conclude we're a bunch of losers.
After all, what's the underlying message of the State Department Tweet? We've no problem with your end, we're just a little bit squeamish about your means.
That's not enough for me. I don't want to live under Sharia. And, if you're in favor of Sharia, by definition you are incapable of being a citizen of a free society. So, when the global superpower can muster no better argument than "the great thing about western civilization is that we're open to letting you destroy it", it's a wee bit demoralizing. The State Department's Tweet tells our enemies we're losers, and we're happy to lose, as long as you let us lose incrementally.
As I say, I wish all those Obama hipster pajama boys were as good at social media as they tell themselves.
