Entering a new era of accountability
April 09, 2013
Ohio's public schools and parents will soon see a revamped local report card, starting in August 2015. The new Report Cards will display A-F ratings for all public school district and building (traditional and charter). The grading system will have six components: achievement, progress, gap closing, graduation rate, K-3 literacy, and prepared for success. The new rating system was enacted under House Bill 555, which was signed into law in December 2012.
The new grading system improves upon Ohio's outgoing report card system in three substantial ways:
- Greater rigor: Under Ohio's current grading system 387 out of 610 school districts received an Excellent (A) or higher rating in 2011-12. The new grading system, however, will increase the definition of an A rated district. In the Ohio Department of Education's simulation of districts' 2015 report cards, 30 districts received an A for performance index (part of the achievement component) and 25 districts received an A for annual measurable objectives (part of the gap closing component).[1]
- Increased transparency: Ohio's new A-F rating system is more transparent and understandable for parents and the general public. Gone are the days when mediocre districts could hide behind Continuous Improvement (C), or the harmless "below" value-added rating. In are letter grades for each indicator, giving the public a clearer understanding of how well their district does in comparison to statewide performance benchmarks.
- More inclusive view of school and student performance: Ohio's current rating system is largely based on two indicators: performance index, a weighted proficiency rate, and value-added index, a measure of student learning gains. The new report card, however, will hold schools accountable for—and make increasingly transparent—additional performance measures, such as graduation rates, advanced placement results, and learning growth for gifted and special education subgroups.
In a smart move by Ohio lawmakers, school districts won't be held accountable to this new grading system either this school year (2012-13) or the next (2013-14). This pause gives school districts and charter schools time to adjust to the new accountability system, while allowing them to prepare for the Common Core standards in 2014-15. Ohio's transition to a new and improved accountability system, matched with higher and clearer academic standards, are an improvement for Ohio's schools and its students.

Johnny and Joey Gioeli (born Giovanni Giuseppe Baptista and Giuseppe Giovanni Antonio Gioeli in 1965 and 1967 in New York respectively) hit the Rock n' Roll trail in their hometown of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Debuting in 1980 in the band KILLERHIT, the brothers (going under the assumed names of Johnny Law and Jo-Jo Law and at that time playing vocals / drums and guitar respectively) teamed up with guitarist Christopher Paul and bassist Jay Scott King. This formative act hit the East Coast club circuit with an enormous amount of success, earning enough by 1987 to have purchased their own lighting rig, truck and a tour bus purchased from Jimmy Buffet.
Re-locating to Hollywood, KILLERHIT hooked up with POISON's BRET MICHAELS. The singer gave them his then publicist Debra Rosner's number who instantly became the band's manager. Realizing the need for a full blown front man, Johnny vacated the drum stool for centre stage. Las Vegas native Derek Cava took his place behind the drum kit and soon after the band switched names to the more appropriate BRUNETTE.
Gaining a small part playing a band called SMASH PALACE in the movie 'Smash, Crash And Burn', and having Dana Strum of VINNIE VINCENT'S INVASION and SLAUGHTER repute, produce their first, five track demo, BRUNETTE were swiftly becoming a hot act on the Los Angeles scene. But the elusive record deal always seemed to be out of reach
The Gioeli brothers split the band to team up with fabled JOURNEY and BAD ENGLISH guitarist NEAL SCHON, who had family connections, becoming their brother-in-law after his marriage to the Gioeli's sister, HARDLINE was formed.
Schon brought his BAD ENGLISH colleague drummer Deen Castronovo with him and the line-up was completed by bassist Todd Jensen. The latter had begun his career in the Portland, Oregon melodic Rock outfit SEQUEL. Jensen also held association with MOVIE STAR (the group that spawned BLACK N' BLUE), AMERICAN MAN, HARLOW and had enjoyed a touring role with DAVID LEE ROTH on the 'A Little Ain't Enough' dates. The new look HARDLINE band played three shows in America opening for VAN HALEN in April 1992. Later that same year Jensen and Castronovo hooked up ex-FREE and BAD COMPANY vocalist PAUL RODGERS for tour work.
Ex-HARDLINE member Todd Jensen appears on ex-KEEL and COLD SWEAT guitarist MARC FERRARI's 1996 solo album 'Guest List' and toured as part of ALICE COOPER's band during 1997.
The Mike Slamer penned 'Dr. Love' was covered by the guitarist himself on the debut STEELHOUSE LANE album, 'Metallic Blue', in 1998. Schon's JOURNEY compatriot JONATHON CAIN contributes to the album on the songwriting front.
Johnny Gioeli was to front German guitar hero AXEL RUDI PELL's band for his 1998's 'Oceans Of Time' album. Castronovo, after a session for the heavyweight GEEZER project led by BLACK SABBATH bassist Geezer Butler, was reunited with Neal Schon in 1998 when the drummer replaced Steve Smith in JOURNEY.
Gioeli announced in late 2000 that HARDLINE had been reactivated with former TAMPLIN and JAG PANZER guitarist JOEY TAFOLLA taking Schon's position. Taking the drum position was none other than erstwhile NELSON and VINNIE VINCENT INVASION man Bob Rock. Johnny Gioeli would also make a guest appearance in 2001 donating lead vocal to the track 'Live And Learn' by Japanese guitarist JUN SENOUE for the Sega Dreamcast 'Sonic Adventure 2' game soundtrack. Meantime it would be learned that the HARDLINE song 'Love Leads The Way', originally included as a Japanese bonus cut for the 'Double Eclipse' album, would be covered on the debut album from fellow AORsters KHYMERA.
Johnny Gioeli would also find time to session for ex-LION and BAD MOON RISING guitarist DOUG ALDRICH's 2001 solo work. In order to promote the 2002 comeback album, which included a guest session courtesy of former LE MANS man and present day TWO FIRES member Josh Ramos, the band announced an appearance at the British AOR 'Gods' festival. Ramos would figure in the live band for this event too. HARDLINE keyboard player Michael T. Ross united with veteran Pomp act ANGEL for live shows in November of 2003. Johnny Gioeli also came to attention outside of his priority band activities, portraying the character "Sultan Oddyfer" for a Daniele Liverani 2004 GENIUS outing 'In Search of The Little Prince'. That November HARDLINE entered the studio to cut a new album.
In January 2005 the band made available rare archive recordings through their website including BRUNETTE demos and HARDLINE titles 'The Double Eclipse Demos' and 'Hardline - Live in Auburn Hills 1992', the latter recorded at a support to VAN HALEN.
Both Joey and Johnny Gioeli were in the news again in May 2006, albeit for all the wrong reasons when a tooth whitening company the brothers owned, 'White Overnite', was investigated by unsatisfied customers. Reportedly the Los Angeles Better Business Bureau was receiving over 100 complaints a month about the business.
During 2008 Josh Ramos hooked up with the HUGO, OPEN SKYZ and VALENTINE credited vocalist Hugo to convene RAMOS-HUGO for an October album 'The Dream'.
HARDLINE returned to action in April 2009 with the album 'Leaving The End Open' through Frontiers Records.

Railfanning Cumberland
There is a lot of rail activity in Cumberland, as well as a lot of rail history. The first thing to say is, BE SAFE! CSXT does not want to separate you into various body parts, and we don't want that mess either. Use common sense. Railroads are private property, and are dangerous places. Don't trespass.
Be sure to ride the
Western Maryland Scenic RR over the old WM and C&P tracks to Frostburg.Here's a
map of Cumberland, and the rail lines.Things to see:
1) The
Amtrak Station, site of the B&O Queen City Station (1872-1971), across from the Holiday Inn. Catch the Capitol Limited.2) The restored WM Station, Canal Place, and the WM Scenic RR.
3) The
Viaduct - where the B&O (now CSXT) splits as it heads westward.4)
the Narrows5)
Westernport, Piedmont, Luke, and the 17 mile grade.7) CSXT yards and shops, South Cumberland.
8) a pilgrimage to

Archaeological Museum – Nesebar |
The Museum in Nesebar is one of the most visited attractions in the town. It preserves the millennial history of the town and presents it to tourists in a modern and attractive way.
The first exhibition of the archaeological museum was set up in 1956 in the Church of St. John the Baptist in Old Nesebar. Since 1994 the museum has been housed in the building where it is now.
The tour around the museum starts from the lobby where the certificate for the inclusion of Old Nesebar in the List of World Cultural Heritage Sites of UNESCO on 9 December 1983 is displayed.
The museum has four exhibition halls chronologically following the development of the town through the different historical periods.
The first hall is called Mesembria and the Thracians. The visitors can see remains of items from the everyday life of ancient Thracians, such as pottery vessels embossed with ornaments from the 9th – 6th centuries BC, finds of stone anchors dating back to the 12th – 11th centuries BC, etc. A 3rd century BC decree is also shown in this hall. It is in honour of Thracian dynast Sadalas. A silver coin treasure consisting of tetradrachmas and a 2nd century AD tombstone can also be found among the exhibits in this hall.
The second hall of the museum called Mesembria – the Pontic Polis displays four extremely rare hydriai (bronze vessels) discovered in the necropolis of Mesembria. They were used as funeral urns and depicted scenes from the Greek mythology below their vertical handles. Visitors will also be able to see part of a statue of god Apollo, the torso of a statue of Heracles, a statue of Tyche, goddess of good fortune, that date back to the 4th century BC, etc. Other exhibits include gold adornments, such as earrings, rings, and necklaces from the 3rd and the 2nd centuries BC. They were discovered among the funeral gifts in the tombs. Foreign ceramics, such as relief bowls, kylixes, askoi, etc., providing evidence of the good trade relations Mesembria had in the 6th – 2nd centuries BC were discovered in the water area around Old Nesebar and on the peninsula itself.
The marble pedestal of the bronze statue of Emperor Claudius is displayed in the third exhibition hall of the museum. The hall is called Mesembria on the territory of Rome, Byzantium and Bulgaria. In 395 when the Roman Empire split, Mesembria remained in its eastern part to become an influential economic and cultural centre. During the 7th century the town was an important Byzantine stronghold against the new Bulgarian state. The town was conquered in 812 by Bulgarian ruler Khan Krum and was annexed to the territory of the First Bulgarian Empire. The grey-clay pottery vessels exhibited in the museum are from this period. There is also a collection of amphorae and white-clay glazed vessels that provides information about the trade relations Nesebar had with Constantinople and other trade centres in the 9th – 12th centuries. Nesebar had its heyday during the reign of Bulgarian Tsars Ivan Asen II (1218 – 1241) and Theodore Svetoslav (1300 – 1322), and especially under Tsar Ivan Alexander (1331 – 1371). The medieval churches are the most solid evidence of the progress of Nesebar in the 13th – 14th centuries. In this hall visitors will find the tombstone of Byzantine Princess Mataisa Kantakouzene Palaiologina who died in 1441.
There is a special hall in the Archaeological Museum of Nesebar dedicated to iconic art. After Bulgaria was conquered by the Ottomans (14th century) a local icon-painting school was founded in Nesebar. Its zenith was in the 16th – 17th centuries. Around 250 icons pained by local icon-painters that used to hang in the scores of churches in the town have survived to this day. The oldest examples of the work of the Nesebar School date back to the 13th century. The icons of St. Nicholas and the Virgin Mary – Ruler of Life are from this period.
Books, specialised literature, guidebooks, cards of all museum sites in town, and souvenirs are sold at the museum.
