Friday, 18 September 2009
NUI Galway is to host the western launch of the new online education tool, EuroCreator. The EU project will be launched with a Roadshow at the School of Education Building on campus on Thursday, 24 September, at 7.30pm. EuroCreator is a new website and online repository that enables students and teachers from 27 European countries to share and download educational media and digital learning resources. This innovative new initiative is being supported by the European Commission as part of the European Year of Creativity and Innovation 2009. Speaking about the project, Dr Tony Hall, Lecturer and Vice-Dean for Learning and Assessment, College of Arts, Social Sciences and Celtic Studies, NUI Galway, said: "EuroCreator is an innovative new development in educational technology that will enable educators and learners from across the EU to share their educational media and digital resources safely in a moderated environment. The project will help to promote collaboration and creativity in Irish and European education; and recognition by the European Commissioner for Education is an added incentive to educators and learners to utilise this new educational resource". The projects that students and teachers upload to EuroCreator will be assessed by educational experts, such as Brendan Smith from the Digital Enterprise Research Institute at NUI Galway. When the students and teachers upload media they will receive a certificate from Ján Figel', the EU Commissioner for Education, Training, Culture and Multilingualism. According to Jim Lenaghan, Chief Technology Officer, School of Education at NUI Galway: "EuroCreator is further testament to how NUI Galway is using innovative Information Communications Technology (ICT) to enhance the educational experience of learners across sectors: primary, secondary and third-level.

NUI Galway Professor Presents Copy of New Book to President McAleese
Wednesday, 16 September 2009
President McAleese was recently presented with a copy of the first academic book on the new UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. The book was co-edited by Professor Oddny Arnardottir of Reykjavik University in Iceland and Professor Gerard Quinn of the Centre for Disability Law & Policy at NUI Galway. NUI Galway President Dr James J. Browne and the Chancellor of the National University of Ireland and President of the Human Rights Commission, Dr Maurice Manning, were also present at the event. Professor Quinn said he was most grateful to President McAleese who has shown so much interest in the lives of persons with disabilities here in Ireland and around the world. He commented: "The new book should provide guidance to persons with disabilities as well as to Governments about the rights and obligations contained in the new treaty. It contains many exceptional contributions from academics in Harvard Law School as well as from judges sitting on the European Court of Human Rights and the Danish High Court". Professor Arnardottir said she looked forward to future collaboration on international disability law projects with NUI Galway. She recently delivered a public lecture, hosted by the Centre for Disability Law & Policy at NUI Galway, on the concept of equality in the new convention. President Browne commented that the book was an example of the kind of work on lifecycle policy challenges in areas such as disability, ageing and children that NUI Galway will produce in the coming years. The new Convention is the first human rights treaty adopted by the United Nations in the 21st century. It seeks to secure the equal and effective enjoyment of human rights for the estimated 650 million persons with disabilities in the world. It does so by tailoring general human rights norms to their circumstances. It reflects and advances the shift away from welfare to rights in the context of disability. The Convention itself represents a mix between non-discrimination and other substantive human rights and gives practical effect to the idea that all human rights are indivisible and interdependent. The Centre for Disability Law & Policy was established at the NUI Galway School of Law in 2008. Its research agenda includes the modernisation of services for persons with disabilities in Ireland. It is networked internationally and produces a European Yearbook on Disability Law & Policy with Maastricht University (Netherlands). It is part of a Lifecycle Research Allaiance on campus. -ends-

Minister Lenihan Announces €14.8 Million for the Establishment of New Research C
Tuesday, 15 September 2009
"Today's investment establishing Systems Biology Ireland is clear evidence of the Government's ongoing commitment to further enhancing Ireland's scientific base to aid our economic recovery." the Minister for Science, Technology and Innovation, Conor Lenihan T.D. said today (Tuesday, September 15th 2009). Minister Lenihan was announcing Government funding of €14.8million to be provided over the next 5 years for the establishment of the Science Foundation Ireland (SFI) funded Systems Biology Ireland research centre, which is being led by University College Dublin and supported by researchers in NUI Galway. The Systems Biology SFI CSET will involve 69 highly skilled personnel working on the research programme including researchers at the Regenerative Medicine Institute (REMEDI), the School of Medicine, and the School of Natural Sciences at NUI Galway. Professor Tim O'Brien, Director of REMEDI at NUI Galway commented: "The partnership between NUI Galway and UCD in systems biology with a focus on mesenchymal stem cells will facilitate REMEDI's translational goals in bringing novel regenerative therapies to the clinic". Systems Biology is a powerful new way to use the strength of computers and mathematics to understand biology. It seeks to unravel the complexities of cells through the use of models that predict biological behaviour. The research being undertaken will enable quicker and better treatments of a range of medical conditions, including various cancers, and should allow for better therapies to be delivered more effectively to patients. The new research centre is also being supported through the significant contribution of industry partners who include Ark Therapeutics, Hewlett Packard, Servier, Agilent Technologies, Siemens Ireland and Protagen AG. The Systems Biology SFI CSET will involve 69 highly skilled personnel working on the research programme. Making the announcement, Minister Lenihan added: "I am very excited by the potential economic and societal benefits likely to accrue to Ireland from the research being undertaken by the Systems Biology SFI CSET. It is one of the critical emerging areas in the Life Sciences worldwide. Ireland is now very well placed to become a world leader in this field given the very strong foundation we have here in the pharmaceutical and IT sectors. It should greatly assist the IDA to attract further high-end Foreign Direct investment and also allow Irish SMEs to grow. This centre, with its deep-rooted academic – industry partnership, encapsulates the essence of what our Smart Economy should and can be. " The Director of the new SFI CSET, Professor Kolch, outlined the potential of systems biology to speed up research and help target therapies to particular patient types by saying: "Systems biology takes a holistic view of the organism. It looks at the processes rather than the single components of a cell or a gene. Our research is unique in that we work with stem cells but the outcomes of our research will feed into a global effort to provide better therapies for cancer patients. Our work will help speed up the experimentation process, thereby reducing by years the time it takes to develop a new drug therapy." Welcoming the announcement of the new SFI CSET, Director General of Science Foundation Ireland, Professor Frank Gannon said: "As the pipeline for new therapeutic drugs becomes constricted it is recognised that a fresh approach to understanding disease is timely. The convergence of computer modelling and the study of the biological system brings new challenges and opportunities. This latest SFI CSET will add to the skill-base that is required for the pharmaceutical companies of the future in Ireland." Systems Biology Ireland is working with a range of industry partners to develop new technologies for biomedical research and will continue to develop the links with industry to harness the State s investment in the programme. "Life sciences customers will ultimately better understand the disease processes and will be able to develop new therapeutic treatments from the Systems Biology Ireland's research program," said David Medina, Executive Lead, Worldwide Life Sciences and Pharma Segment, HP. "As a result of HP and SBI s collaboration, vast amounts of data can now be affordably collected, stored, analyzed and applied from different sources on HP Extreme Data Storage technology." Dr. Laurent Perret, Président du Comité Scientifique du Groupe de Recherches Servier, Institut de Recherches Internationales Servier, said "Servier Laboratories has had a long and productive association with Ireland, with two manufacturing plants and several research programmes in translational medicine. Systems Biology Ireland provides a further opportunity for Servier to engage in leading-edge research in Ireland and for us to work together to address unmet medical needs using an extraordinarily powerful technology". "Ark Therapeutics is strategically involved in this Irish Government-funded research programme as it believes it will bring about the generation of new biological therapeutics by moving science from the reductive process of the 20th century to a systems approach of the 21st", said John Martin, CSO of Ark Therapeutics. -Ends-

Early October Open Days Announced by NUI Galway
Tuesday, 15 September 2009
NUI Galway has announced details of Open Days to be held on Friday, 2 October and Saturday, 3 October. An important occasion for prospective students, Open Days provide an opportunity to talk to NUI Galway students and staff, explore the campus and find out more about courses of interest. Friday's Open Day, on 2 October, is aimed at school groups, although individuals are also very welcome to attend. Saturday's Open Day on 3 October, is for students thinking about university and their parents and families. With over 60 degree programmes on offer at NUI Galway, lecturers and Deans will be on hand at exhibition stands to answer questions on courses, CAO points and career paths. A talk specifically for parents at 11am on Saturday will give an overview of the career paths of NUI Galway graduates, as well as looking ahead to the job market of the future. Many of the newer courses at the University have been designed to be responsive to the changing needs of the employment market and meet the needs of the Smart Economy. NUI Galway recently saw a significant increase in demand for programmes across all colleges, with new courses in Energy Systems Engineering, Electronic Engineering Innovation, Maths and Education and the new BA Connect degrees proving very popular. The Open Days will feature a mix of taster sessions and short lectures to provide a feel for university life. Events will include hands-on science workshops, a virtual stock market demonstration, a mock criminal trial, and interactive sessions with IT systems and robotics. According to NUI Galway President, Dr James J. Browne, the Open Day is an opportunity to plan for the future: "Our University has a long-standing reputation and dedicated staff, many of whom are world leaders in their fields, committed to delivering the highest quality education and student experience. Our Open Days are the ideal opportunity to meet our lecturers and find out about courses which might be of interest. Research at this stage of the year takes the pressure off decision-making when filling out the CAO form in the New Year". During the Open Days, tours of the campus will allow prospective students to visit the new Sports Centre, home to 45 student sports clubs, and the newly refurbished Áras na Mac Léinn, the base for over 85 student societies.

Parents Benefit from Latest DERI Innovation at NUI Galway
Friday, 11 September 2009
Atom, an innovative new internet tool from NUI Galway's Digital Enterprise Research Institute (DERI), is allowing parents easy access to information on activities, classes, camps, events, or services for their children. The technology has been licensed to the family listings website, www.mykidtstime.ie. A circle-based browser, Atom allows the user to quickly and intuitively browse different categories in a way which mirrors the brain's activity. The Atom browser is available in the 'look and book' service offered by www.mykidstime.ie and facilitates the way that parents interact with the listings data. The Atom Interface has two patented techniques for manipulating increased amounts of data and intuitively supports users through its easy-to-use functions. Originally created by DERI, the Atom browser was further developed and refined through research and development with Mykidstime, supported by the Enterprise Ireland innovation voucher scheme. Jill Holtz, co-founder of Mykidstime.ie, is pleased with the project's success: "With the help of DERI and with the support of Enterprise Ireland, we have been able to implement a really useful tool on our website which helps parents to find the information they are searching for even more quickly and easily. It is fun to use and the feedback so far from parents has been very positive: they like the tool and the way it improves their experience on the website. It is important to us to continue to innovate within our website but most importantly to improve the end user experience". John McGuire, Commercialisation Executive in the Technology Transfer Office in NUI Galway, commented: "This is pure technology transfer in action, from University to the market. It is also an example of a smaller entrepreneurial enterprise benefiting from research carried out at third-level institute. Hopefully this technology will be of use to many other organisations". -ends-

Archive of Irish Writer John McGahern to Tour New York and Boston
Friday, 11 September 2009
A series of illustrated talks in Boston and New York next week will celebrate the work of one of Ireland's most important writers, John McGahern. The events will be hosted by the National University of Ireland, Galway (NUI Galway), which is home to John McGahern's archive of papers and manuscripts. Selected documents from the archive will be showcased during the US events which are entitled 'John McGahern in America'. This is the first time extracts of the John McGahern archive have gone on tour outside of Ireland. Prior to his passing in 2006, NUI Galway acquired John McGahern's archive, which is a complete collection of his papers and writings, providing an unparalleled view into a unique literary life. This extensive resource, comprising thousands of pages, is enormously rich in content and consists of forty years of writings, personal papers, correspondence, novels, drama, and short stories. Also included are short stories that appeared in The New Yorker magazine between 1963 and 1984. Dr John Kenny, Lecturer in Creative Writing at NUI Galway, commented in advance of the tour: "As these lectures will elucidate, many of McGahern's most significant short stories and literary subjects found their early iterations in the pages of some of America's most notable literary magazines and journals – The New Yorker, The Atlantic Monthly and The Yale Review. Thus this lecture series is especially fitting as it travels to Boston and New York - cities which are home to the literary forums which fostered and supported the work of this unique artist". The reputation of John McGahern (1934–2006) as a consummate stylist and master of fiction extends throughout the English-speaking world. The setting of his work, comprising six novels, three collections of short stories, a play and a memoir - ranges from the rural west of Ireland to Dublin and abroad, but returns always to the inland fields, lakes and bogs of Connaught and the lives of the people rooted there. President of NUI Galway, Dr James J. Browne, explains the association the University values with John McGahern: "Our University is fortunate to have enjoyed a progressively deepening association with John McGahern over almost 50 years. This association started during the brief period of his initial undergraduate studies and continued again when he became a teacher on Creative Writing and Irish Studies programmes. In 1994 he became an honorary doctor of the University and Adjunct Professor of Irish Studies in 2001". Dr Browne adds: "By choosing NUI Galway in the West of Ireland as the home for his literary archive, McGahern has entrusted us with a special responsibility. We must endeavour to make this resource available, as appropriate, to literary scholarship and interested readers. The University intends to promote and build upon the unique treasury we have in the McGahern Archive to enhance teaching and research in creative writing and Irish Studies". NUI Galway attracts doctoral students and visiting academics from all over the world to conduct research in the area of Irish Studies. The extensive McGahern archive is a hugely significant attraction to many such international scholars, enhancing the University's reputation as a world-class centre of literary research and study. To support literary scholarship, NUI Galway plans to invest significantly in its Library resources to ensure that scholars have the best environment in which to conduct their teaching and research. A proposed $25 million Humanities Research Building will provide world class facilities for researchers and a state of the art repository for the University's significant archival holdings. The 'John McGahern in America' events are supported by the Galway University Foundation. In Boston, special guests will include the President of Boston Public Library, Amy Ryan, while in New York the American Irish Historical Society will co-host. -ends-

I like techo, trance, house, dance music etc, in its proper setting.
But that video... uh... no. If you are going to try to use "period" type of music you can "jazz" it up without adding a heavy, throbbing back beat to it. Maybe when it goes live it will be different. But if this is the final version I'll most likely walk on by rather than taking the time to stay and listen and watch personally.

About a year and a half ago I was introduced to a Birmingham-based Acid Jazz band called Kanopus. The band was made up of Leo Altarelli and Lizzy Parks on vocals, Tom Robins on guitars, Rob Norman on keys, Ryan Trebilcock on bass, Alan Gardiner on drums and Andy Isherwood on horns. Although I have nothing against Jazz I've never been drawn towards it, instead favouring Heavy Metal/Rock, IDM and some experimental music. After listening to the song Only Time will Tell I was hooked. However, like many bands that I'm discovering this band had been defunct for over a year! I got my investigatory hat on to find out what the main players are up to, in the hope that I can discover some similar music!
I did a search online and could only find an abandoned website (currently down) and a MySpace that hasn't been updated since early 2007 (you can even see a comment left by me). I went to their official website and downloaded a few of their tracks.
I did a bit of snooping around their Myspace page to see if any of the members had joined other acts. I came across Sugar Beats on Myspace (their official website is down), which features almost all of the Kanopus lot, minus Lizzy Parks, and learned that they were doing a gig with Giles Peterson and the Town Hall reopening. Before that, however, through Leo Altarelli's Myspace page I found that he was doing a gig at The Tower Of Song supporting The Beautiful Word. I managed to go to that gig and it was great! Since moving down to Brighton he's now getting ready to release his solo album, which is preceded by the release of the song Cabin Fever. He also recently did a gig at the Songwriters Café
I next found some information about Lizzy Parks (again, through Myspace). All I could find when I visited the site in 2007 was that she was releasing an album at some point. This actually happened recently with the album launch as part of Resonance Events. Unfortunately I couldn't go, but will be getting her album as the previews sound good.
What about the band? Y'know the ones that play instruments. Following the departure of their vocalist Leo Altarelli, Sugar Beats performed at Gigbeth 2007 as The Sub Ensemble. They've recently released an EP that features Leo on vocals and also Sara Colman, who performed with Kanopus at ArtsFest in 2006.
So, the next crumb in this trail comes in the form of Leo playing a gig at The Cross in Moseley on 14th. I'll be going! Maybe through that I can find some other great funk/jazz artists.
All of this investigation is really just an attempt to try and understand a genre of music that is quite alien to me. I'm sure there are many other great Jazz/Funk/Acid Jazz acts out there in the world, and probably quite a few in Birmingham, but I haven't found them yet…

A new study published in the American Education Research Journal asks, "What Works in Gifted Education?" Five gifted education and curriculum researchers assess the impact of differentiated English language arts units on gifted third graders. The units—one on poetry and one on research—"reflect more advanced, complex, and abstract concepts," as well as concepts normally introduced in the fourth and fifth grades. Analysts explain that "even advanced learners vary in their readiness levels, interests and preferred learning profile and learn best when these differences are accommodated." (Differentiated instruction can be broadly conceived as modifying at least one of three key elements of curriculum: content, process, and product. The evaluated units primarily focus on the former.)
Researchers randomly assigned gifted classrooms to treatment and comparison conditions such that roughly 1,200 students from eighty-five gifted classrooms across eleven states participated in year one of the study, one thousand in year two, and seven hundred in year three (though the number of classrooms and states changed each year). The three years (2009–2012) comprised the three cohorts. All classes were pre-assessed using the Iowa Test of Basic Skills so that they could control for prior achievement, which is important because schools use different methods to identify gifted...
Here's the top-line takeaway from the Center for Research on Education Outcomes's (CREDO) comprehensive Urban Charter Schools Report, which is meant to measure the effectiveness of these schools of choice: For low-income urban families, charter schools are making a significant difference. Period.
CREDO looked at charter schools in forty-one urban areas between school years 2006–07 and 2011–12. Compared to traditional public schools in the same areas, charters collectively provide "significantly higher levels of annual growth in both math and reading"—the equivalent of forty days of additional learning per year in math and twenty-eight additional days in reading. As a group, urban charters have been particularly good for black, Hispanic, and English language learner (ELL) subpopulations. Indeed, putting the word "urban" before the phrase "charter school" is becoming somewhat redundant. As Sara Mead recently pointed out, urban students comprise only a quarter of students nationally, but more than half (56 percent) of those enrolled in charters. Thus, perhaps the most encouraging finding in the study is that the learning gains associated with urban charter schools seem to be accelerating. In the 2008–09 school year, CREDO found charter attendance producing an average of twenty-nine additional days of learning for students in...
Unless Grover (Russ) Whitehurst was truly weary of leading the Brookings Institution's widely respected Brown Center on Education Policy, only demented think-tank hierarchs would have let him exit that role. But the want ads make clear that they've done so.
What a shame. Though the Center dates back to 1992 and has always produced one or two valuable studies per year (including the fine series of annual reports authored and orchestrated primarily by Tom Loveless), it didn't really take off until Russ left government and took its helm in 2009.
Since then, he and Tom and their small team of brainy people have emerged not just as varsity players in the education-policy think-tank league, but also as major contributors to serious scholarship about nearly every consequential issue that roils the K–12 waters. No doubt about it, they have policy preferences and viewpoints, but they've also been straight shooters about what is actually known, relentlessly crunching numbers and then translating the research into trenchant, comprehensible, digestible information for policymakers, practitioners, and fellow scholars. They host terrific events, produce an outstanding weekly "chalkboard" report, and have published a shelf of valuable studies. (Sixty-one items turn up on the Center's "research and commentary" listing...
I didn't see common enrollment systems coming.
When I started writing The Urban School System of the Future in 2009, I didn't foresee the extent of the complications associated with parental choice in cities with expansive networks of accessible schools. At that point, the vast majority of city kids were still assigned to schools, and the conventional wisdom was that this would be the case for years to come.
My, how things have changed.
New Orleans is now a virtually all-charter system. Detroit and D.C. have about half of their kids in charters; in Indianapolis, Philadelphia, Kansas City, and Cleveland it's more than 30 percent.
This growth is great. Kids in urban charters learn more in math and reading, and the benefits are being realized most by disadvantaged students. It's forcing city leaders to rethink the operations, oversight, and governance of public schools (see Camden, Memphis, and Detroit).
But—as explained in a primer by CRPE—if cities simply add more choice schools in the absence of changes to the enrollment process, parents can struggle to find information on schools, be forced to fill out widely varying school applications, and then receive...
Was Phil Jackson really a great coach? Despite his reputation as the Zen master of hoops, I've never been convinced. After all, Kobe, Shaq, and His Airness would have made any coach look like a genius, and there's never been a natural experiment quantifying Jackson's impact.
Inside the classroom, a similar question lingers. In a recent study of district evaluation systems, Grover Whitehurst, Matthew Chingos, and Katharine Lindquist found that teachers with high-performing students were far more likely to be rated highly by observers than those with low-performing students. Moreover, this pattern was not the result of better teachers being matched with better students. Rather, observers were biased towards teachers with higher-performing students—the Phil Jacksons of the teaching world.
As the authors of the study make clear, eliminating this bias by adjusting for student background characteristics is relatively straightforward. So why aren't we doing this already? A few weeks ago, Luke Kohlmoos of the Tennessee Department of Education argued against such adjustments, suggesting they were a "disservice to students and teachers" that would take us back to the bad old days of lower expectations for black and brown students. According to Kohlmoos, if we "systematize" lower expectations through...
Editor's note: This post has been updated with the full text of "Don't know much about history."
Pop quiz! Try to answer the following questions without Googling: What is one right or freedom named in the First Amendment? We elect a U.S. senator for how many years? Who is the governor of your state? Easy, right? Here's a tougher one: How much confidence do you have in your fellow citizens who cannot answer these questions as voters and participants in our democracy?
These are among the hundred questions about history, civics, and government on the U.S. citizenship test, which immigrants must pass as part of the naturalization process. It's not a particularly challenging exam. Would-be citizens are asked up to ten of the questions; a mere six correct is a passing score.
In January, Arizona and North Dakota became the first two states to make passing this test a high school graduation requirement; South Dakota and Utah have followed suit this month. Similar bills have been introduced in more than a dozen other states.
"I would submit that a minimal understanding of American civics is of real value and therefore worthy of measurement," said Arizona State Senator Steve Yarbrough. I...
This new study by the Center for American Progress (CAP) examines the ESEA comparability requirement, which mandates that school districts provide "comparable" educational services in both high- and low-poverty schools as a condition of receiving Title I dollars. CAP's concern is that, although this requirement is intended to level the playing field for schools, it actually allows districts to use teacher-to-student ratios or average teacher salaries as a proxy for comparable services, instead of using actual teacher salary expenditures. And because poor schools typically have newer teachers who tend to struggle their first few years and cost less to employ, these schools are getting both less qualified teachers and less money than more advantaged ones.
The analysts examine Office of Civil Rights district spending data for the 2011–12 school year from roughly ninety-five thousand public schools. Adjusting for cost-of-living differences across districts, they compare how districts fund schools that are eligible to receive federal Title I dollars with other schools in their grade span and find "vast disparities" in the allocation of state and local dollars.
Here are the three key findings: one, due to the "loophole" in federal law, more than 4.5 million low-income students...
This clever volume offers a collection of essays about how to improve teacher education. Each of the authors write about the findings of the Choosing to Teach longitudinal study, which involved thirty randomly chosen teachers, ten each from three non-traditional teacher-prep programs: the Urban Teacher Education Program (UTEP) at the University of Chicago, the Alliance for Catholic Education (ACE) at the University of Notre Dame, and the (Jewish) Day School Leadership through Teaching (DeLeT) program at Brandeis University. Following enrollees from the time they entered their respective programs through four years in the classroom, it focuses on how teacher prep programs tailored to participants' backgrounds and aspirations can improve classroom practices and keep teachers in the classroom longer. For example, teaching in an inner-city Catholic school has a different set of challenges than teaching at an affluent suburban school, and a given teacher's interests and effectiveness will differ in each.
With this in mind, all three programs provide immersive and contextualized learning opportunities through what the authors call "nested contexts of teaching." Training looks beyond the classroom to provide a more comprehensive view of the role future teachers will play. ACE, for example, focuses not just on the classroom,...
Teach For America, its coffers fattened with $50 million in federal i3 scale-up grant money, embarked upon a major expansion effort in 2010. It aimed to place 13,500 first- and second-year teachers in fifty-two regions across the country by the 2014–2015 school year—an ambitious 80 percent expansion of its teaching corps in just four years. As part of the deal, TFA contracted with Mathematica Policy Research to evaluate the expansion.
A handful of previous studies have found that TFA teachers have been more effective than conventionally trained and hired teachers in math and about the same in reading. The big question was whether putting its growth on steroids would compromise TFA's recruitment and selection standards or overall effectiveness.
Mathematica found little reason to be concerned about TFA losing a step. The elementary school teachers recruited in the first and second years of the i3 scale-up were "as effective as other teachers in the same high-poverty schools in teaching both reading and math." Corps members in lower elementary grades "had a positive, statistically significant effect on student reading achievement," but no measurable impacts for other subgroups of TFA teachers were found. Of interest (mostly to TFA itself), the study found...
Editor's note: This is the eighth in a series of personal reflections on the current state of education reform and contemporary conservatism by Andy Smarick, a Bernard Lee Schwartz senior policy fellow with the Thomas B. Fordham Institute. The previous posts in this series can be seen here, here, here, here, here, here, and here.
Many reformers work to ensure that every child has access to great schools. Similar universal aspirations have inspired countless others—the recognition of unalienable rights, the elimination of poverty, the fair distribution of resources.
Indeed, the question of how to define and realize "justice" has consumed philosophers for centuries. A key lesson from this Everest of scholarship is that all approaches require tradeoffs.
Unfortunately, our field doesn't talk much about tradeoffs, and we certainly don't talk about philosophy. You'll not find in your conference program, "Plato, Aquinas, and Nietzsche: The Metaphysics of Annual Testing."
But this is not to say that reform is philosophy-free. Conservatives led this movement twenty-five years ago; their skepticism of government monopolies and public sector unions and commitment to empowering parents and diversifying options owed much to Smith, Mill, and Friedman.
Today, progressives dominate education reform, and progressivism is stirred...

MONDAY, Dec. 19 (HealthDay News) -- When it comes to toys, kids' wish lists for the holiday season often pose a dilemma for parents, who find themselves asking two crucial questions.
The first question is almost knee-jerk: Which of these toys will be safe for my child?
And the second, though not as obvious, is becoming more common in the era of toys and media aimed at spurring a child's development: Which of these toys will be good for my kid?
Common sense can help guide parents to toys that will aid their child's growth, said Dr. Garry Gardner, chairman of the American Academy of Pediatrics' council on injury, violence and poison prevention and a Chicago area pediatrician.
"Two things come to mind," Gardner said. "Kids need toys that are engaging and encourage imaginative and creative play. And kids need toys that encourage activity and exercise."
December has been dubbed Safe Toys and Gifts Month, but many parents these days want to buy gifts that go beyond being harmless and actually are beneficial for kids.
Gardner and Dr. Benjamin Hoffman, a pediatrician at Doernbecher Children's Hospital in Portland, Ore., agreed that one of the best things parents can do is purchase toys that cut down on the amount of their children's "screen time" -- time spent in front of televisions, computers and portable devices.
Video games can help hone a child's fine motor skills, but they also drain time away from more creative or healthy pursuits, Gardner said.
"I've seen kids outside on a beautiful day at the park and here they are, sitting on a bench and playing a video game," he said. "And kids sitting in front of a screen often are snacking -- and not on healthy foods."
What's worse, Hoffman said, is that so much screen input might have detrimental effects on kids' development.
"The cognitive stimulation kids receive from a screen is different,

City changes payment method to attorneys
EVANSVILLE - No one will know until year's end whether a new payment arrangement for Evansville city government's lawyers will save taxpayer dollars, but it does make things simpler.
The City Council voted unanimously last week to cease paying salaries and benefits to attorneys for Ziemer, Stayman, Weitzel & Shoulders for representing city boards plus $150-per-hour fees for doing litigation work. That arrangement, a holdover from the administration of former Mayor Jonathan Weinzapfel, will be replaced by one that even someone without a law degree can understand.
The lawyers will get $150 per hour for anything athey do for the city — litigation work, attending board meetings, writing and reviewing contracts, crafting legal opinions.
Ted Ziemer Jr., corporation counsel for the city, said he asked for the new payment arrangement to avoid bookkeeping hassles at his firm.
Ziemer pointed out that salaries come with Social Security taxes that must be paid by employee and employer, federal and state withholding taxes paid by employees, city contributions to the Public Employees' Retirement Fund and the biggest cost of all — health insurance, paid on both ends but primarily by the city.
"We've got our own health insurance right here in my law office. We don't need any of that stuff," said Ziemer, who said he charges $300 per hour to private clients. "This is a way to make it more clear. However many hours we end up working for the city, multiply that by $150, and that's what we get."
The change in payment arrangements is not unusual.
When Republicans took control of the Vanderburgh County Commissioners after the 2004 election, Ziemer became their lead attorney. For similar reasons, he asked that his firm receive a monthly retainer as an independent contractor rather than being a salaried employee with health insurance.
County and city governing bodies have practiced both forms of paying their attorneys, depending on the preferences of elected officials.
Whether this latest payment arrangement saves money for the city is anybody's guess, as that depends largely on how much legal work is generated. But available billing data shows it could be close.
Budgeted at $591,516 in 2011, the city's legal department actually spent $557,500. Most of the savings were realized when a $40,000 allocation for contractual services came in at less than half that amount. The city paid about $175,000 in salaries and $65,000 in benefits for then-Corporation Counsel David Jones and two lawyers assisting him.
Before Mayor Lloyd Winnecke was elected to succeed Weinzapfel, the City Council passed a 2012 general fund budget allocating $600,864 for the legal department.
In anticipation that City Council would approve its $150 hourly fee-only formula, Ziemer's firm used that formula since January. City controller's office data indicates the billing came to $148,943. Multiplying that quarterly figure by four yields an estimate of $595,772.
In the new formula the city will not inherit $26,203 in rent payments made to Jones Wallace Attorneys as part of its compensation package for doing city legal work. Such payments are not uncommon in local governments in Indiana.
"(Law firm Kahn, Dees, Donovan & Kahn) did it when I was mayor," said City Controller Russ Lloyd Jr., who served as Evansville mayor from 2000 until 2004. "The feeling is, they don't have an office in the Civic Center. They're doing the city's legal work, so they're entitled to it."

Youngsters are reeling after their Sea Cadet unit was broken into and gas canisters stolen.
Fifteen gas canisters, six full of fuel and nine empty, were taken and a wall and some plumbing were damaged when thieves broke into Dartford and Crayford Sea Cadets' base, next to Brooklands Lake, Dartford.
The offenders smashed through the gates before forcing their way into the building. A large white van had been spotted in the area earlier.
Each gas canister costs £100 to replace but the exact cost of repairs is unknown.
It means the group has no hot water, heating or gas for cooking.
Those undertaking the Silver Stewardship qualification, where cadets are taught silver service and food preparation, have had to put their studies on hold.
The group has 30 young members between 10 and 18. The Sea Cadets is a charity-funded organisation and relies on donations.
Petty Officer Emma Dawson, 38, said it was "heart breaking".
She said: "It really has deprived the kids. Each unit doesn't get funding from the MoD, unlike the Army and Air Cadets."
The damage was discovered when the cadets came in for weekend drill practice ahead of a national competition.
Since the break-in on Friday, March 8, they have struggled to focus.
PO Dawson said: "At practice, the kids' hearts weren't in it because of what happened.
"They're a great bunch but this knocked them because they take a lot of pride in their unit and their unit was violated by a bunch of thugs."
PO Dawson said a lot of young people under her command had gone on to have successful careers both in the Navy or in civilian life, often because of skills picked up at the unit.
She said: "Why is someone trying to deprive the kids when we trying to provide them with a good start in life?
"I've got three cadets that have just got into the Navy. One has just come back from the Philippines and helps out when he's on leave, and I've got one cadet who did his silver service with me who is now a chef at a top London restaurant."

MW notebook: No decision on Fresno QB
The weekly notebook from beat reporters around the Mountain West:
The competition at quarterback between Brian Burrell and Brandon Connette will continue through game week. Fresno State is not going to announce its starter until Saturday, before it opens the season at USC. "We feel really confident about both of those quarterbacks and we don't want to tip our hand on who is going to be our starter because we have some different packages for both of them," coach Tim DeRuyter said. One will start, the other will get at least one series at the start of the second quarter. ... The competition is even more unsettled at the cornerback spots, where injuries in fall camp slowed the evaluation process. Starting strong safety Charles Washington, who was moved to corner for the Mountain West championship game against Utah State last season and stayed there in the Las Vegas Bowl, is back in the mix there. Washington is listed as the starter at both positions, and at corner he is followed by an 'or' Curtis Riley and an 'or' Jamal Ellis. On the other side, it is Bryan Harper 'or' Corey Ferguson 'or' Stratton Brown.
Season opener: at USC, 4:30 p.m., Saturday (Fox)
— Robert Kuwada, Fresno Bee
Norm Chow begins his third season as head coach — and 45th overall in the coaching business — with another starting quarterback. Sean Schroeder and Taylor Graham were the No. 1 quarterbacks to open the past two seasons, respectively. Ikaika Woolsey, a third-year sophomore, won the starting job two weeks ago.
Woolsey's strong arm and elusiveness are matches for the Warriors' expanded offense. Woolsey has a diverse group of targets. X receiver Marcus Kemp played as a true freshman last year. Z receiver Quinton Pedroza redshirted in 2013 after transferring from Utah. Slotback Scott Harding played six years of Australian Rules Football before joining the Warriors in 2011. His first UH practice was the first time he ever wore a football helmet.
Harding, 28, is older than quarterbacks coach Jordan Wynn and receivers coach Luke Matthews. Harding also is the Warriors' punter and punt returner. After juggling the offensive line, including a lineup of three freshmen, the Warriors will start three fifth-year seniors: Center Kody Afusia, right guard Dave Lefotu and right tackle Sean Shigematsu. Fifth-year seniors Beau Yap and Moses Samia will start on the defensive line.
This year, the Warriors have switched from a 4-3 base to a 3-4 scheme. In the secondary, Ne'Quan Phillips, the best cover defender, will rotate between cornerback and nickelback. Taz Stevenson, who transferred after earning a degree at Washington, is a starting safety.
This training camp, the Warriors spent 16 nights sleeping on cots in two dance studios. They also had to relocate and cancel a practice when Hurricane Iselle approached. (Iselle did not affect Oahu, where UH's Manoa campus is located.) The Warriors coined the phrase, "Relentlessly positive," which is printed on the back of their warm-up shirts.
Season opener: vs. Washington. 7:30 p.m., Saturday, CBSSN

The frequency of presumed complications of anticoagulation for PE was stable before CTPA, but increased 71 percent (from 3.1 to 5.3 per 100,000) after CTPA became available, the study authors explained.
The problem of overdiagnosis and overtreatment of PE is likely to continue to grow, according to the study authors. They called for further research to determine whether some PE patients with small clots can safely forgo anticoagulation treatment.

Programmatically create Ninja build-system files
Programmatically create Ninja build-system
files from JavaScript. This can be used into any kind of project, though (Ruby,
Python, or even C++, why not...). In any case that's always preferable to use
npm to handle the package installation.
Most of the time, you'll add it to the
devDependencies of your
$ npm install ninja-build-gen --save-dev
You may typically want to install the ninja-build as well. Indeed, this package does not include the Ninja build system.
Generally, you should not need this package for package distribution (instead
of being in
dependencies), since it's mostly useful to handle the minimal
compilation of assets, like CoffeeScript files. Published packages should
contain the compiled JS files (or CSS, etc.), not the sources (nor the tests).
This is typically useful to create a
configure script. In this script, let's
first create a new build file for Ninja version 1.3, with the build directory
ninjaBuildGen = require'ninja-build-gen';ninja = ninjaBuildGen'1.3' 'build';
Let's add two rules, for example, one to compile CoffeeScript files, the other to compile Stylus files:
ninjarule'coffee'run'coffee -cs < $in > $out' description"Compile Coffeescript '$in' to '$out'.";ninjarule'stylus'run'stylus $in -o $$(dirname $out)' description"Compile Stylus '$in' to '$out'";
Then we can add edges to compile the actual files, for example:
ninjaedge'foo.js'from'foo.coffee'using'coffee';ninjaedge'bar.js'from'bar.coffee'using'coffee';ninjaedge'glo.css'from'glo.stylus'using'stylus';ninjaedge'assets'from'foo.js' 'bar.js' 'glo.cs';ninjabyDefault'assets';
Let's save the file to the standard Ninja filename:
That's it! Now you can run the configure script, then ninja, to build the project:
$ node configure.js$ ninja[1/3] Compile Coffeescript 'foo.coffee' to 'foo.js'.[2/3] Compile Coffeescript 'bar.coffee' to 'bar.js'.[3/3] Compile Coffeescript 'glo.styl' to 'glo.css'.Done.$ ninjaninja: nothing to do.
Thanks to Ninja, you get minimal recompilation: only changed file are recompiled upon invocation.
This package is only here to make easier the creation of Ninja build files, but it does not provide any high-level features, and won't ever provide them (that's out of scope). That is, no wildcards, no globbing and file lookup; just streamlined Ninja build file generation.
Feel free to fork and submit pull requests.

Product description
It's ten years on from the first winter gathering, when four of Maggie Quinn's closest friends rushed in to spend Christmas with her after her husband walked out just days before. And at Christmas, it doesn't take long for an event to become a tradition. But this Christmas Day, for the first time, there's an addition to the party, in the form of a young, very handsome man. Only one of the women knows what he's doing there, and she's remaining tight-lipped. So begins a new chapter in the lives of the five friends. As the winter moves towards spring, each faces personal hurdles, from family difficulties to illness to the unexpected reappearance of Maggie's ex. Throughout, each proves that friends truly are the family you choose -- and that, ultimately, the magic of Christmas can arrive at any time of year.

Hyundai Construction Equipment launched its newest hydraulic system for finer touches and high caliber controllability – the R35Z-9 which is ideal for rigid, restricted job sites like those in the metropolitan and residential settings including the sensitive lands.
R35Z-9 is capable of having a responsive and precise excavator as it operates in jam-packed areas. It helps improve operations with its optimized matching joystick and chief control device. This device is also energy-saving with its arm flow summation system decreasing cavitation while improving the speed. It has an integrated boom holding system for safety purposes.
Weighing a total of 8,050 lbs (or 3,650 kg operating weight), R35Z-9 is motorized by a reliable, fuel-efficient efficient 26.5 hp (19.8 kW) Tier 4 Certified Yanmar 3TNV88 engine. The R35Z-9 boasts a dig depth of 10'4" (3,150 mm) a bucket digging force of 7,050 lbf (31.4 kN) and bucket capacity of 3.78 cubic feet (.107 cubic meters). The R35Z-9 offers a tail-swing radius of 2'10" (870 mm), allowing for efficient operation on sites where space is limited.
Notable Features of the R35Z-9 Mini Excavator Range:

Originally written on NESN.com | Last updated 3/16/13
The Red Sox continue to trim their roster. The club announced after Friday's game that catcher Dan Butler and pitcher Alex Wilson have been optioned to Triple-A Pawtucket, which is where both players concluded their 2012 season. This news came just hours after the Red Sox announced that pitchers Rubby De La Rosa and Allen Webster were optioned to Triple-A and catcher Christian Vazquez was optioned to Double-A. Butler hit .233 with three home runs and 11 RBIs in 22 games with the PawSox last season, after batting .251 with six home runs and 26 RBIs in 73 games with Double-A Portland. Wilson, who spent his entire 2012 campaign at the Triple-A level, went 5-3 with a 3.72 ERA in 40 appearances (three starts). Both players performed well this spring, and there's a chance they could find themselves in the majors this season under certain circumstances. Butler went 3-for-10 with a double and walk in eight Grapefruit League games. The 26-year-old's game-calling ability is what caught manager John Farrell's attention most, though, as the Sox skipper said earlier in the week that Butler has great awareness and does a nice job of reading hitters' swings. Wilson allowed one run in 7 2/3 innings while walking two and striking out nine this spring. The Red Sox' bullpen appears deep to start the season, so the decision to send him back to Triple-A isn't all that surprising, but the 2009 second-rounder will likely be one of the first arms considered in the event of an injury. Both players were added to the Red Sox' 40-man roster earlier in the offseason in order to protect them from the Rule 5 draft. With the moves, the Red Sox now have 46 players in big league camp. That includes 32 players from the 40-man roster, one on the 60-day disabled list and 13 non-roster invitees. Have a question for Ricky Doyle?

Rare Proof 1847 Silver Dollar1847 $1 PR61 PCGS. As with the case for any proof struck prior to 1859, the mintage of the proof 1847 dollar is unknown. Perhaps the proper estimate is between 20 and 30 pieces. David Akers (1998) suggests 10 to 12 examples are known, while David Bowers, in A Buyer's Guide to Silver Dollars & Trade Dollars of the United States, estimates the number of survivors to be in the seven to 14 range. Weimar White, in his Liberty Seated dollar reference, estimates that fewer than 10 specimens are extant, and Walter Breen, in his proof encyclopedia, lists nine examples. NGC and PCGS, on the other hand, have graded a total of 23 coins, an unknown number of which are resubmissions.
Fully Struck, Lightly Toned
Fully Struck, Lightly Toned
This is a fully struck specimen with faint chestnut-tan toning and slightly subdued fields. Die polish lines are present, but hairlines are minor for the designated grade. Like all 1847 dollars, this is a restrike proof, as indicated by the die marker lumps on the final A in AMERICA.(Registry values: N4719) (NGC ID# 24ZX, PCGS# 6988)

...also your pictures look dreamy with the fogged background. Would you mind sharing your photo technique?...
Without drilling down pretty deep into Photoshop I'll stick to a pretty general outline of what I did for those "dreamy" shots. First off, the original shots were just quick grab shots on my work bench. My work area looks like a bomb hit it, I'm an incredibly messy builder. So when it comes time to grab some shots of work in progress I'll shove tools, paint, parts, etc. out of the way to clear a space and then hide as much of it as possible using a plain sheet of white or black plastic or paper braced vertically, usually leaning up against a paint can or rubbing alcohol bottle. I'll put a second sheet of the same color on the workbench top. My workbench is very brightly lit, with 3 75 watt spotlamps shining on it, so there's plenty of light for photography. I never use a flash.
I use the macro setting on my camera (the close up setting) and get in as tight as possible while still including the desired angle, perspective and details I want to include. Most of time the raw pictures still have some details in the background so I need to block them out in some way. So what I do is use the "lasso" tool in Photoshop and draw an encircling shape around the part of the picture I do want to include. Then I "inverse" the selection so I'm actually working with the part of the image I want to get rid of. Now let's say that I am using a white background. I fill the area I'm getting rid of with the same color, in this case white. The "dreamy" effect is the result of "feathering" the edges of the selected area. Feathering is another Photoshop setting that fades the edges of the selected area. You can control how abruptly or gradually you fade in the effect your doing to the selected area. In this case the "dreamy" effect is simply the white fill color overlapping with the image where it fades out, creating a foggy haze.
Finally. I crop the image down to a pleasing proportion and save it in an 800 pixel width so it will look OK on most people's monitors.
I do other things as well in order to make sure the photos reproduce the color properly and also to make sure that the fill color matches the background color properly, but that's basically what I do...

The trio are part of an all-star writing cast for the album The Performance - Bassey's first studio set in more than 20 years - which will be released by Geffen Records on November 9.
The album's producer David Arnold, who has himself co-written two of The Performance's songs, was also at the launch alongside record company representatives such as Geffen UK president Colin Barlow and selected media.
Others attending included veteran lyricist Don Black who wrote No Good About Goodbye for the album with Arnold as well as Our Time Is Now with his long-time collaborator John Barry. It is the first song Black has written with Barry for Bassey since the Bond theme Diamonds Are Forever.
Barlow has contributed This Time to the album, while Wainwright has penned Apartment and Hawley After The Rain. Tom Baxter, who was also at the launch, has written the album's opener Almost There, while others supplying songs include Kaiser Chiefs, Pet Shop Boys and KT Tunstall.
