Joan Bakewell: 'Elevation is rather a grand word, isn't it?'
The broadcaster and champion of older people tells Jerome Taylor what becoming a peer will mean for her causes
Monday 22 November 2010
If there was ever a picture book published on north London's chattering classes, then the square in which Joan Bakewell lives would be its front cover. Each one of the three-story Regency homes in this immaculate corner of Primrose Hill has been lovingly painted in a kaleidoscope of pale shades. Pastel yellows, egg shell blues, light pinks and – in Bakewell's case – a calming olive green. It is a perfect picture postcard tribute to the successful baby boom generation.
"They weren't always like this believe me," says Bakewell, opening the door into a bright sitting room with enormous windows looking out onto the square below. "When I first moved in, Euston station still used steam trains. All these houses were covered in soot."
It is in this house that for the past 45 years Bakewell has lived through two marriages, six grandchildren and a remarkable broadcasting career that has seen her become one of the most recognisable female faces in front of a camera.
And it is where she spent her weekend celebrating her latest achievement – her elevation to the House of Lords last week. "Elevation is a rather grand word isn't it," she giggles, looking ludicrously younger than her 77 years. "It makes me sound a little like the host at mass."
There's always been something intensely cerebral, ferocious and slightly saucy about Bakewell, who began her career in the 1960s on the arts discussion programme Late Night Line-Up and has followed it with four decades of broadcasting about the arts, religion and ethics.
Most recently she was made "Voice of Older People" by the previous government following her vocal criticism of the BBC for the way it all too often moved aside older women in favour of younger talent.
It is a fight she intends to continue in the Lords. "Television packed up on me a long time ago," she says, explaining how ageism in the media is just the tip of the iceberg. "I turn up as a guest on panel shows now and again. And I recently made a programme for Panorama about older people. But that was only because I am an older person, not because I'm a journalist. It is my firm belief that people should continue working, if they wish to, for as long as they like. It benefits the whole community."
Compared to most of the 54 men and women who were added to the Lords in the latest intake, many of whom were donors rewarded for their party loyalty, Bakewell is refreshingly non-partisan.
"When you become a Lord they phone you in advance to tell you and there are all sorts of forms you have to fill out," she says. "There was one that asked me to declare what party donations I have made over the years and on each box I wrote 'None'. When I got to the end I couldn't help chuckle and think there will be other people who will find this form rather uncomfortable."
So does that mean that she approves of the way our upper house is appointed, rather than elected? Should we have some sort of Senate, entirely elected by the public? "I certainly think there should be a debate about how the second house is constituted," she says. "There was a time when I thought it should be entirely elected. But then I started to listen to some of the debates in the Lords and compared it with the behaviour in the Commons – especially Prime Minister's Questions which is disgraceful. The level of debate in the Lords is enormously well informed. They seem to have loads of experts who aren't particularly combative. Also the idea of simply replicating the party machine doesn't appeal to me."
The broadcasting veteran has yet to make up her mind what her maiden speech will be about – "the guidelines say it shouldn't be controversial", she says – but as we talk the conversation turns to university education with her grandson embarking on his first year at Bristol.
As the winner of a scholarship who went to study history at Cambridge for free in the 1950s, Bakewell is dismayed at the current Government's attitude towards higher education and particularly the way future cuts will likely hit the humanities the hardest. "I'll be there to champion humanities," she says. "Humanities open window after window on the human condition. That's what we need, and it's what scientists need too. This new tendency in education to focus entirely on vocational subjects needs to be questioned."
Bakewell's background is north-west working class, not that you'd ever know it from a cut-glass accent that owes much to her Cambridge University days and was further honed by years of working for the BBC. Born Joan Rowlands in Stockport in 1933, her father was orphaned at the age of 14 and left school to work on a foundry bench. He slowly worked his way up to management level. Her mother left school at 13 and never made it at her ambition to become an engineer. Childhood was happy but her teens were somewhat poisoned as her mother, Rose, fell into deep depression, which often manifested itself as an intense disapproval of everything her daughter did.
"She was extremely intelligent but belonged to that generation where women were expected to stay behind, look after the children and keep an immaculate house. Although she did that with an almost fanatical attention to details, she didn't find it fulfilling. We didn't know it was called depression, of course, back then but that's what it was."
The trajectory of Rose's daughter, at least, was entirely different. Sitting on her blue sofa in Primrose Hill, a recently purchased "guide to using an iPhone" resting on the coffee table in front of her, it is really quite difficult to overestimate how remarkable Bakewell's career journey has been. We take it for granted now that television is largely a place of gender equality, certainly among the young at least.
But it was down to a small handful of female journalists like Bakewell who were the first to break through the machismo glass ceilings surrounding the production of current affairs. From her autobiography, one quote above all stands out: "I don't want too many women on my staff. They burst into tears. It is a tiresome thing that women do". This was not the view of a braces-clad chain-smoking male executive at Bush House but of Grace Wyndham Goldie, the formidable head of talks and current affairs and, of course, a woman.
Getting into the newsroom was never going to be easy. Bakewell's first job at the BBC was technical studio work which she was terrible at. Deflated, she briefly tried her hand at advertising – translating American Tampax adverts into something more suitable for British ears – before returning to the BBC, and Late Night Line-Up. In a world where women tended to be relegated to children's programmes it was a radical departure. Here was Bakewell the sex bomb, long legs and superbly short skirts, but above all with a razor-sharp mind and interrogation technique that could easily hold its own against luminaries like Allen Ginsberg and Vaclav Havel. Her interview with playwright Harold Pinter sizzled with chemistry, as it ought to have done – they were about midway through their nine-year affair which later became the subject of his 1978 play Betrayal.
Thanks to the comedian Frank Muir, Bakewell's time on Late Night Line-Up resulted in her being labelled the "thinking man's crumpet" an epithet that in the fresh light of the 21st century feels utterly patronising. It is a shame the phrase stuck as what Bakewell did over the next four decades was become a formidable reporter, as arts correspondent for Newsnight in the 1980s, to exploring religion, morals and ethics in Heart of the Matter during the following decade.
I initially had no intention of bringing up the dreaded "TMC" during the interview. Instead it was Bakewell who did so, referring to it as "that phrase". But it does give her a chance to say why she thinks it really is high time to bury it for good.
"Perhaps now that I'm in the House of Lords that phrase can die," she fumes. "It's grotesque to refer to someone in their seventies like that."
An epithet she has much less trouble with is Voice of Older People. She keeps a frenetic schedule and likes to be a representative for the elderly as much through her actions and what she says.
Divorce, newspaper columns, television shows and an autobiography all took up the first five years post the big 70. Most recently, at the age of 75, Bakewell sat down to write her first novel, a historical drama. A second novel, set in the early 1960s, is nearly finished and will be published next year. "I like to keep on my toes," she says with a smile.
As the interview winds down to a close I ask whether she would ever consider taking things at a slower pace. "Certainly not," she hits back. "If the energy levels dropped I might have to, but I have no intention of slowing down." In which case, is there anything she should be doing more of? "I sometimes think I forget to have enough fun," she says. "But then, when I think about it, I am having enormous fun doing what I do."
A life in brief
* Born: 16 April 1933 in Stockport, Cheshire (now Greater Manchester)
* Early life: Born into a lower-middle class family, attended Stockport High School For Girls, now Hillcrest Grammar School, where she was head girl. Went on to Newnham College, Cambridge, where she studied Economics, then History. Has since said that her mother, a bright woman who was forced to leave school at 13 to work for a living, probably envied her daughter all the chances she had.
* Career: Joan Bakewell first became well known as one of the presenters of an early BBC 2 programme, Late Night Line-Up, in 1965 on which Frank Muir first dubbed her "the thinking man's crumpet", a moniker she dislikes but has failed to shake off. Has since been Arts Correspondent for Newsnight and a favourite on Countdown, as well as making several programmes on liberalising legislation, from abortion to gay rights and the death penalty, and on taste, decency and censorship on television. It included watching a couple having sex while they were filming a pornographic movie.
* Family: Has two children with her former husband Michael Bakewell, the BBC's first head of plays. Divorced in 1972 after 17 years. It emerged later that she had been having an affair with the playwright Harold Pinter, which formed the basis of his play Betrayal. Married the director, writer and producer Jack Emery in 1975 but divorced in 2001.

Avoid obstacles, smash foes, evade dragons. You'll never know where this adventure will take you... because it doesn't make any damn sense. In Squirrel Game, you can watch the wackyness unfold in Story Mode, or compete for high scores in Distance Mode. Test your skills by collecting a handful of tricky medals.
Instructions are in-game, and will appear automatically before playing your first round.
Rated 2.5 / 5 stars
Not so bad
The game was pretty simple, too short, not any good features added from the first level.
Music was so annoying, the squirrel should be on the left of the screen and not the middle ( even if you press left until so it's still at the middle )
Decent platformer, too short, annoying music. that all.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
What can I say, it is just really fun, in a way most other games aren't.:D

Falls into a few traps
This game isn't awful, but you could stand to watch some Angry Video Game Nerd and learn from his profanity-infused rage. As a developer, I think it's good to see how the players feel about certain game elements, and nobody expresses the hatred felt by gamers better than James Rolfe. Check him out on YouTube and you'll find out how much he hates things like:
1) Drops where you can't see where you're going. When I hit the spaceflight stage, I noticed a large number of points where the high road just ended, requiring me to jump with no certainty of a floor beneath me. This is terrible, especially in a constant-scroll game where you have no choice but to leap to your potential death. The reason this is so bad is that it momentarily takes control away from the player and makes them feel helpless, which means that when they die, they feel cheated. Players feeling cheated is where you run into people hating your game. Contrast Spelunky, in which you are in control 100% of the time due to perfect controls, and never feel cheated through your hundreds and hundreds of failures.
2) Music that drives you crazy. In the dragon sequence, the music is incredibly repetitive, so much so that it becomes maddening. I was glad for the change of pace in the UFO sequence, but the fact that my first gameplay memory is tainted by that soundtrack (same three notes over and over and over and over and over and over) is impacting my decision.
3) Sudden changes of gameplay rules. In the options, I've set one-hit kills to OFF. The instructions say to avoid obstacles or smash them. Throughout the dragon sequence, hitting an obstacle takes one heart, and getting shot takes one heart. Suddenly, in the UFO sequence, I get eaten and instantly defeated by a monstrous plant of some kind that requires a fairly precision jump or a boost to avoid. The problem with this is that up until this point, everything in the game has indicated that this plant will deal one heart of damage; the instant-kill plant doesn't follow the existing pattern of rules, and more importantly, there's no indication that it works otherwise until it kills you. This falls back into that "cheapness" that makes the player feel like the game is cheating.
Despite these shortcomings, there is fun to be had from the game. The controls aren't bad, and while the graphics aren't great, they do a decent enough job of conveying the gameplay. I would advise that the background art is too bright, too similar to the foreground art, and it can become confusing at times. Otherwise, 6/10. Keep up the good work and learn from your mistakes!
Rated 4 / 5 stars
Was enjoyable
I prefer a faster paced game than this... but it was fun.
The music could be Way better than the loop you have though... it started to wear on me!!

Are green buildings really saving energy? |
| Print | |
Articles - October 2011 | ||
Thursday, September 22, 2011 | ||
A couple of years after the Natural Capital Center, a pioneering green office building in the Pearl District, was completed in 2001, the LEED gold-rated structure underwent a "post-occupancy evaluation" to see if it really consumed less energy than a conventional office building. The audit showed the structure did meet pre-construction expectations, says Sidney Mead, director of events for Ecotrust, the nonprofit that owns the Natural Capital Center. But several years later, Mead adds, Ecotrust added three new "kitchen-ish spaces," including a coffee kiosk and walk-in freezer, both of which "used quite a bit of energy." It was only because the nonprofit also happened to install solar panels that "total energy use came out kind of a wash," she says. A leader in the nationwide green building movement, Portland is pushing the envelope when it comes to the use of cutting-edge sustainable building materials and technologies. Now the city and state are exploring what energy experts describe as the next big thing in green building: ensuring that new energy-efficient buildings actually meet expectations once they are occupied. "The real frontier for driving energy use down is in operations and behavior of occupants," says Tom White, technical director for Green Building Services, a Portland consulting firm. About 20% to 25% of energy use in buildings "is influenced directly" by those factors, he says. Energy codes for buildings have become more stringent over the past 15 years, says Alisa Kane, Portland's green building manager. Nevertheless, she says, "actual energy use has not gone down." Why? Blame the increase in cell phones, computers, space heaters and other "plug loads" that increase energy use beyond the building's design expectation. For that reason, says Kane, "Behavior change is the most compelling iteration of work that is going to happen in green building." Just how that work will unfold in Oregon is unclear. Over the past few years, Seattle, San Francisco, Austin and Washington, D.C., have passed laws requiring property owners to measure and disclose their energy use, which would help place a market value on a building's efficiency and provide a benchmark for improvements. During the past two sessions, the Oregon Legislature has considered similar legislation. But those bills failed, in part because of opposition from the Building Owners and Managers Association, (BOMA), which expressed concerns with challenges accounting for tenant behavior, especially in multi-tenant buildings. "The making public of energy use concerns us because it is not always an accurate picture of a building's energy performance," said Wade Lange, vice president of property management for Ashforth Pacific's Portland office. So far, Portland is in "the consideration phase," regarding regulation of energy performance, says Kane. "We've been wanting to explore all the different options of how we can work with building owners." Until then, the nonprofit Energy Trust already works with property owners to help them measure energy performance. And there are voluntary measures property owners can implement on their own. Ecotrust sets the thermostat at 68 degrees in the winter and between 72-74 degrees in the summer. It's "quite a bit warmer than most office or retail buildings," says Mead, adding that one tenant, Portfolio 21, "actually had to change dress code to allow staff to wear shorts." And according to White, each employee and employer in the building should be of one mind when it comes to managing energy use. As he puts it: "There has to be a synergy between the boiler room, board room and break room." Linda Baker |

flation, de or in?
Posted by Mrs. Davis on 5th April 2015 (All posts by Mrs. Davis)
Conversable Economist Timothy Taylor discusses the effects of various types of deflation on economic growth. Deflations were frequent until the Great Depression. Since then we have fought deflation through continual monetary expansion thinking that would ensure growth at the acceptable cost of inflation. Evidence is mounting that this assumption is not grounded in fact and that there can be real economic growth during a period of price deflation as was true during the end of the 19th century.
There is a moral dimension in addition to the economic. Policy choices invariably create winners and losers. Choosing an inflationary monetary policy rewards debtors and penalizes savers. By pursuing a constantly inflationary monetary policy we have become a nation of debtors and a debtor nation. Is this really the appropriate choice for the richest nation in the world? What are the implications of pushing individuals toward borrowing instead of saving? Does a debtor look forward to the future with the same confidence as a saver? Or is the debtor's attention focused on current consumption, with the future being another day?
We need a return to hard money not more easy money.

"I think the finale explains a lot," Cory dishes, but "there's a lot of cliffhangers, but it also explains a lot."

The Department of Conservation is applying for resource consent to make further 1080 drops in Southland and wants to drop it in a larger area.
DOC southern region conservation services director Allan Munn said $1.2 million of funding would be used for 1080 drops in the Waitutu area in autumn.
An aerial assault on rodents would form the major part of the 1080 poisoning but where it was cheaper and practical, ground baiting or trapping would be considered, he said.
The department would be seeking a multi-year consent from the regional council for a period of up to 10 years, he said.
DOC Fiordland conservation services manager for biodiversity Lindsay Wilson said the department was hoping to expand the area it dropped the 1080 to 30,000ha.
"The department will be applying for a new resource consent for the Waitutu Forest because it wanted to extend the boundaries to the west to protect a significant mistletoe population and north to expand the protected area," he said.
In 2010, DOC did an aerial 1080 possum control operation over 25,000 hectares of the Waitutu Forest largely funded by the Nature Heritage Fund.
DOC 1080 programme leader Colin Bishop reported after the operation there was a 99.5 per cent reduction in possum numbers with no bird deaths attributable to 1080.
Stoats and rodents were also reduced to very low levels and had remained that way for two-and-a-half years. As a result bird numbers had increased, the department said.
However, Mr Wilson admitted yesterday there were some bird casualties as a result of 1080 poisoning.
"We do kill some species but at a population level, there is a positive outcome," Mr Wilson said.
A major beech mast event - the biggest seeding in more than a decade - is expected to drive rodent and stoat numbers to high levels this winter and DOC would seek consent to drop 1080 on other vulnerable areas, he said.
Earlier this week, parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment Jan Wright said the impending plague of rats and stoats would devastate native wildlife unless 1080 was stepped up.
"These mast events happen periodically, and take a huge toll on our native birds, insects and lizards," Mrs Wright said.
"1080 is the only tool we have to control the plagues of rats and stoats that follow."
Southland Conservation Board chairwoman Viv Shaw said the use of 1080 was an emotive issue but the board supported DOC's application for the consents.
Anti-1080 campaigner and member of the Southern Earth Environmental Coalition Tamsin Scott said dropping broad spectrum poison from a helicopter to target just one species was not only arrogant, ineffective and dangerous, but also short-sighted.
"Possum numbers have increased but they are here to stay despite never-ending poison drops, so surely we can figure out a more sustainable way to make better use of this resource," Ms Scott said.

Darin Barney: It's a revolution (again), it's "changing our lives" and it's turning our dreams into reality. So says Ted Sargent, Canada Research Chair in Emerging Technologies, professor of engineering at the University of Toronto, and current wunderkind of the nanosphere. Sargent's lab is credited with the invention of a sprayable material that can turn infrared light into electrical energy, and he has used some of his time as a visiting professor at MIT to write a book meant to tell folks outside the fraternity of science and engineering what all the fuss regarding nanotechnology is about.

Mental Gender - Harmony of Conscious and Subconscious
The subconscious mind is the seat of emotion and the storehouse of memory. Your subconscious mind is also known as the subjective mind because it is in subjection to the conscious mind. The conscious mind is the seat of the will and the faculty of awareness. Your subconscious mind submits to the impressions and decisions of your conscious mind without arguing or choosing but with total compliance.
The relationship between the conscious and subconscious mind follows the principle of mental gender. Understanding the relationship between the conscious and subconscious mind is the whole secret to understanding the relationship between male and female. The reverse is also true.
The conscious mind is the male, the leader and the subconscious mind is the female, the follower. The subconscious mind is a helper of the conscious mind. The more the workings of the conscious and subconscious minds are integrated, sync and in harmony, the more perfect the entire mind functions as a whole. The more creative and productive it becomes. The less harmony there is between the two, the more destructive it becomes and the more it collapses and cease to function properly.
It is not really your conscious thoughts that create your reality, but it is your subconscious beliefs. It is the subconscious mind, the feminine aspect of mind that is the creative faculty. Have you seen a man give birth? No. It's only the woman that bears children. The conscious mind, the masculine aspect of mind conditions a thought into the subconscious mind in order to create a belief that manifests into reality. Like a seed that is impregnated into the womb, it is nurtured within and born as a child.

Chase poll finds 'guarded confidence' at region's middle-market firms
- Heather Draper
- Reporter- Denver Business Journal
- Email | Google+ | Twitter | Finance Etc. blog
Middle-market companies in the Rocky Mountain states are more confident about their local economies than the nation as a whole, and are more likely to hire staff in the next 12 months, according to a survey released Tuesday by Chase Commercial Banking.
The survey found that 70 percent of mountain-area business leaders were optimistic about their local economies in the next 12 months, versus 44 percent in the Pacific region and 54 percent nationwide.
However, only 28 percent of business leaders in the mountain region were optimistic about the nation's economy for the next 12 months, compared with 37 percent nationwide.
The mountain region in this survey includes Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Nevada, Wyoming, Mountain and Idaho. The Pacific division includes Washington, Oregon and California.
In March, Chase — a unit of New York-based JPMorgan Chase (NYSE: JPM) — surveyed senior business leaders at nearly 1,000 middle market companies in the West with annual revenue between $20 million and $500 million. The company surveyed about 3,500 business leaders nationwide.
Chase described business sentiment in the West as "one of guarded confidence." (I was happy to see that our business leaders weren't "cautiously optimistic.")
"Despite perceived challenges, business leaders remain confident in the future performance of their companies, are focused on growth and possess an upbeat global outlook," the report said.
About three-fourths of the business leaders polled nationwide were optimistic about their company's performance in the next 12 months, and that number was the same in the Rocky Mountain region.

Have job cuts hit your family?
Share your stories, photos and videos.Relevant offers
National business
Telecom chief executive Simon Moutter said the company would cut "hundreds" of jobs over the next 10 months, but he would not talk numbers today.
Asked whether that meant jobs cuts would be limited to three figures and no more than 1000 jobs were on the line, Moutter said he was "not willing to be any more specific at this point".
More details on the long-expected cuts were likely by May.
The job cuts would result in a "material one-off charge" this financial year, he said.
Moutter said that while he was "not going to share numbers today", he was not going to try to downplay the likely scale of the cuts.
Telecom employs more than 7000 workers. The general mood among staff was "if we are going to do it, let's get on with it", Moutter said. Staff outside Telecom's Wellington building declined to comment when approached this morning.
Telecom shares were up 2.5 cents to $2.23 in early trading as investors took encouragement from the promise that Telecom would move to a lower cost base and brushed off an announced earnings downgrade that accompanied its interim result.
It reduced its full year Ebitda forecast to $1.04 billion to $1.06b, saying the broadband market had become more competitive than expected and the outlook for information technology services arm Gen-i had softened.
Telecom announced an interim net profit of $163 million on revenues of $2.14b.
On an "adjusted" basis, profits rose 57.6 per cent to $156m while revenues were down 8.5 per cent.
Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (Ebitda) were $516m, down from $1.6b during the same period in 2011 when Chorus was still part of the business, but Telecom said that on an adjusted basis they were up 3.7 per cent.
The company declared an 8c interim dividend, 75 per cent imputed.
Chairman Mark Verbiest said the business was "changing significantly" as fixed-line calling revenue continued to slide and mobile revenues increased.
Telecom was "fast-tracking" the changes necessary to make it a "more competitive, customer-focused company with a clear focus on the data and mobility future", he said.
Telecom had picked up 103,000 mobile customers since August when it began offering competitively priced $19 pre-pay plans, Moutter said.
It had also halted the slide in its broadband market share after "several years of decline", adding 13,000 customers since improving the value of its broadband plans in September.
Gen-i was experiencing continued "price-based competition" and was focused on "exiting low margin business and delivering cost reduction initiatives", Moutter said, but saw opportunities in cloud computing.
Moutter said the new earnings guidance excluded "any one-off costs associated with implementing the strategy which we anticipate recognising in the second half".
That could include write-downs as well as redundancy payments.
"We have a highly complex business and our operating costs are higher than our industry peers," he said.
"We believe it is imperative that we move quickly to execute the new strategy and we must have a competitive cost base to succeed in a fast-changing marketplace."
Moutter appeared to rule out compensating customers for the recent malware attacks on its outsourced YahooXtra email service. While frustrating for customers, "it is not really a compensation issue," he said.

A Plethora Of Linux Power Tests Are On The Way
Published on 18 June 2011 09:58 PM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
12 Comments
Nailing down the Linux kernel power regressions (see
Linux Has Major Power Regression
Another Major Linux Power Regression Spotted
) has made a big step forward this weekend. Not only to fix up these major kernel power regressions that are hitting many mobile Linux users, but to look further into the state of Linux power management is now possible and to closely analyze other areas of the Linux stack to find other areas for improvement.
As I've said since the beginning, what's taken so long -- for me at least -- in finding these regressions is that some manual intervention is required (switching the battery / AC power state by pulling the plug) and that testing was limited to mobile systems for easy monitoring of the power consumption. For several weeks,
I've been looking for a USB-based power meter
or UPS power supply that could monitor the AC power consumption connected to a desktop power supply. Ideally, I've been looking for such a solution that costs less than $100 USD.
This mission has now been accomplished with coming across the Watts Up Power Meter Pro, per a reader recommendation. The "Watts up? PRO" has a USB interface, provides an integrated LCD for also monitoring the power consumption and other data that can be toggled via two buttons, and accepts any US power connection. This power meter also supports logging the power data to the device itself and various other options from their software. The company only makes Windows software, but from their support page they reference a community-created open-source utility. For a little more than 1,000 lines of C code is this open-source utility that works under Linux with the "Watts Up" brand power adapters. It supports dumping various power metrics over USB, including the real-time Wattage.
The cost of the Watts Up Pro is $130 USD from
the manufacturer web-page
but can be found for as little as $110 from other Internet web-stores. I decided to buy one of these units after seeing the features, open-source Linux support (albeit spawned by the community), and the acceptable price.
The Watts Up Pro arrived today and soon as connecting it to Linux and compiling the small C program, the device was immediately working under Linux. Perfect. A few minutes later, the Phodevi power sensor module for the
Phoronix Test Suite
was extended to detect this "wattsup" Linux program and to automatically read the real-time Wattage information from it when requested. This power meter is working great and it's now supported under the Phoronix Test Suite in the latest Git code. The official support will land in Phoronix Test Suite 3.2.1 or 3.4.0. Here's
an example on OpenBenchmarking.org
With this being supported by the Phoronix Test Suite's Phodevi (Phoronix Device Interface) library, it can be used in the same way as the Linux battery monitoring support and can be tapped in the same way by all areas of the Phoronix Test Suite in a uniform manner. This means that the Linux kernel power regressions can be fully automated (assuming the powerful workstations exhibit this regressions) and can use this AC power meter to look at other interesting areas such as comparing the power consumption when using open vs. closed-source graphics drivers with desktop GPUs, how different operating systems compare power-wise, etc.
So far the Watts Up Pro is working great under Linux with the Phoronix Test Suite. My only complaint or feature request would just revolve around their Linux support as ideally I'd like to see an upstream Linux kernel module for the Watts Up devices that would expose the various power attributes via sysfs nodes. That way it'd be an out-of-the-box experience and not have to worry about fetching/building this small power utility. It would also be easier for the Phoronix Test Suite and other scripts to then just check these sysfs entries, similar to how many notebook batteries have their power information exposed. It should be relatively quick and easy to write a kernel driver for these devices by simply porting this simple utility's code, but alas I lack the time to do so myself. Look for interesting Linux power test results soon.

On State expects Common Core testing costs to be lower than national estimates
pittstatebb 1 year, 8 months ago
I am not sure why, but this article along with others with the the same theme, have stated that CETE has developed the current battery of Kansas state assessments. That is simply not true. WestEd, a San Fransisco based company, wrote all of the current Kansas state assessments, as their website clearly states below.
CETE administers the state assessments but has only created pilot questions that align to the upcoming Common Core state assessments. These pilot questions are no where close to the same structure as the SBAC questions that have been released on SBAC's website.
Peter Hancock 1 year, 8 months ago
According to Marianne Perie at CETE, WestEd's contributions for Kansas assessments ended in 2008. CETE took over all of the item development at that point.
She also acknowledged that CETE created some "selected response" items aligned to Common Core standards that were used in the 2013 tests. However, she said CETE is preparing "technology enhanced items" that will be used in the 2014 test that will look much more like those being developed by SBAC. By 2015, she said, CETE will be in a position where it can either deliver the Smarter Balanced test through its KITE system, or provide a similar assessment.
pittstatebb 1 year, 8 months ago
Maybe Matianne could tell us if any new test questions, other than common core pilot questions, have been written since 2008. Since 2008, the tests have looked strikingly similar.
MPerie 1 year, 8 months ago
Sure. The items that WestEd developed formed the basis of the last series of assessments. Over the past four years, our team has developed items to replace problematic items and updated items to improve them. We are currently involved in a major effort to develop all new items aligned to the KCCR standards.
kensington 1 year, 8 months ago
You will notice on the WestEd web site that they say they wrote the items, not the tests. Just like some companies build car parts and others put the parts together and build cars, until 2008 WestEd built the parts and CETE built the tests. Since 2008 CETE has also been responsible for writing new items which have been available for formative usage, replacement usage, and interim assessments. More recently CETE has been writing items aligned to the new Kansas College and Career standards to support testing in 2013-14.
nick_s 1 year, 8 months ago
Ive got an idea, lets help develop standards with other states & then sandbag the whole operation once these standards are being implemented. Kind of a "taking my ball & going home," kind of attitude that accomplishes nothing.
