ISM launches cross-sector 'Bacc for the Future' campaign
15 October 2012, Rhian Morgan
The Incorporated Society of Musicians (ISM) is calling on the government to include music and other creative and cultural subjects in the new English Baccalaureate (EBacc), which is set to replace GCSEs from 2017.
As the ISM launched its cross-sector campaign, entitled Bacc for the Future, it said 'a sixth pillar of creative subjects', including music and design and technology, must be part of the new qualification.
The ISM wants the Education Select Committee to hold an inquiry into the lack of creative subjects in the EBacc, and a petition has been set up at www.baccforthefuture.com. The new qualification requires pupils to have achieved a certificate in five subject areas: maths, English, sciences, languages and humanities (the latter currently defined as history or geography).
Deborah Annetts, chief executive of the ISM, said: 'What we need is GCSE reform that is fit for our economy, and the current proposals are not. We need to work together to ensure that we do not forget the lessons of the Olympics or the economic centrality of the creative industries.'
An ISM-commissioned YouGov poll has shown that the public overwhelmingly supports the aims of the campaign, with 88% saying music and other creative subjects are important to a child's education. An earlier survey revealed that 60% of music teachers, from a survey of 500, believe that the EBacc league table has had a harmful impact on music education in schools. Figures from the Joint Council for Qualifications showed almost a 4% drop in GCSE music candidates between 2011 and 2012.
Many musicians have already expressed their concern at the likely impact of the EBacc on music. Cellist Julian Lloyd Webber said: 'The absence of creative subjects from the EBacc makes no sense at all. Creativity is vital to every child and it is also essential to our economy.'
The Schools Music Association says many musicians working with secondary schools are 'concerned that the latest government proposals will effectively mean the end of the teaching of creative subjects'. Dr James Garnett, past chair of the National Association of Music Educators, is also urging that the planned changes protect a rounded secondary school education which includes the practical study of music.
Ronan O'Hora, head of keyboard at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, said he thought it 'quite incomprehensible that under the proposed plans the teaching of music is likely to disappear from secondary schools at a time when its importance in aiding and developing lateral thinking and creative problem-solving is more widely recognised than ever'.
A spokesman for the Department for Education said the EBacc would still leave plenty of time for non-core subjects: 'We have put music on a much firmer footing than it has been - we have protected core music funding and a music module is being introduced for trainee primary school teachers.'
Choir of the Year grand finalists announced
10 October 2012, Clare Stevens
Lindley Junior School Choir from Huddersfield, Methodist College Girls' Choir from Belfast and the senior choir of Ysgol Glanaethwy on Anglesey, North Wales are among the six choirs that will take part in the Grand Final of Choir of the Year 2012 on 28 October in the Royal Festival Hall, London. The remaining finalists are the Surrey Hills Chamber Choir, student jazz a cappella group the Oxford Gargoyles, and Les Sirènes, an all-female choir of students and recent graduates from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, conducted by 24-year-old Andrew Nunn.
Lindley Junior School, directed by Alison North, won the children's category of the competition in the category finals held at the Bridgewater Hall, Manchester on 6 October, beating Heath Mount School Bax Choir from Hertfordshire, current holders of the BBC Songs of Praise School Choir of the Year title; Four Oaks Cluster Choir, composed of singers in Years 5-8 from Sutton Coldfield and district; and the chamber choir of Rosendale Primary School in Dulwich, South London. The Methodist College girls were directed by Lynda Rolston and accompanied by another pupil of their co-ed school, 13-year-old Donal McCann. They beat the junior choir from Ysgol Glanaethwy, an 'after hours' performing arts school, and two other all-female groups, Rainbow Connection Youth Choir from Doncaster and Cor y Cwm from the Rhondda Valley, South Wales, to take the Youth Choir of the Year title.
The Oxford Gargoyles won the open category and Surrey Hills the adult choir category. Les Sirenes and Ysgol Glanaethwy Seniors went through to the final on 'wild cards', but any of the six finalists is now eligible to be crowned as the overall Choir of the Year 2012.
Ofsted names keys to successful music education partnerships
10 October 2012, Clare Stevens
The secrets of successful partnerships between schools and other organisations have been identified by Ofsted in a new report entitled Music in Schools: Sound Partnerships, commissioned a year ago by the Department for Education as part of the National Plan for Music Education. It was launched by Mark Phillips HMI, Ofsted's national adviser for music, on 5 October at the National Association of Music Educators' annual conference.
The report is based on visits by music inspectors between September 2011 and July 2012 to 59 schools, together with six further visits to observe good practice. Most of the schools surveyed were using partnerships to offer a greater range of activities than they could provide by themselves. However, the inspectors found that in too many cases these were not managed well enough by the schools and rarely resulted in significantly improved long-term outcomes for all groups of pupils, particularly the most disadvantaged. Only ten schools were making good or outstanding use of partnerships to improve musical outcomes for all groups of pupils and achieve good value for money. The survey found that buying in additional instrumental and vocal teaching – the most frequent form of partnership work – is not a guarantee of sustained good-quality outcomes, however expert or reputable the partner organisation.
The report identifies five key actions taken by schools were partnerships were most successful:
• Significant, sustained levels of funding were matched by rigorous monitoring and evaluation, enabling leaders and managers to take swift action where funding was not being used well.
• Schools ensured that all groups of pupils benefited from the partnership, particularly the most disadvantaged. Careful monitoring and tailoring of provision ensured that all groups achieved well.
• Provision was linked to individual pupils' needs, interests and abilities. Careful analysis of pupils' prior achievement and experiences – including in their feeder primary schools – secured high levels of engagement and good progress. As a result, projects complemented, augmented and supported other music work in the school.
• Partnerships were used to develop both school teachers' and visiting musicians' practice. Clear strategies were in place so they could learn from each other. This led to sustained, high-quality musical experiences for pupils during and beyond the partnership.
• Headteachers and senior leaders used the partnership to strengthen their own knowledge and understanding of the quality of music education. This enabled them to monitor and evaluate provision with increased rigour and resulted in improved outcomes for pupils, better quality of professional dialogue with music teachers, and better value for money.
Inspectors also identified five characteristics of schools where partnerships had limited effect:
• The effectiveness of the partnership was not monitored sufficiently well by school leaders. In these schools, the partnership was more likely to represent poor value for money because not enough pupils made good progress over a sustained period.
• Disadvantaged pupils such as those in receipt of free school meals or with special educational needs did not benefit from the partnerships as much as others. This often resulted in widening gaps in participation and achievement between different groups of pupils, including at GCSE.
• Partnership programmes were not sufficiently aligned with the school's day-to-day musical provision or well enough informed by analysis of pupils' starting points and capabilities. In these schools, the value of the partnership was diminished because provision did not capitalise and build on pupils' prior learning.
• School staff and visiting musicians did not work together. This represented missed opportunities to develop the teaching skills of all adults involved in the partnership.
• Senior leaders were not well enough informed to ask critical questions or make critical judgments about the quality of music education; too often, too much was based on trust rather than rigorous challenge. Consequently, weaknesses in provision were not addressed.
The report includes guidance to help schools improve their partnership working in music education, including with the new music education hubs. It has been published on the Ofsted website together with eight case studies of good practice, including video clips, from a diverse range of primary and secondary schools, of varying sizes, and from different rural and urban areas of the UK.
The Federation of Music Services welcomed 'Ofsted's positive and pragmatic approach to supporting improvements in music education. The use of a robust evidential base to identify key actions to underpin such improvement is extremely helpful. We are delighted that the role of music services in providing opportunities and setting high standards has been highlighted in the report.'
Deborah Annetts, chief executive of the Incorporated Society of Musicians, said: 'This is a crucial report which must be read by headteachers, senior leaders, those working in music education hubs and anyone involved in partnership work from across the music sector.
Change from GCSEs to EBacc leads to fears for secondary music
18 September 2012
Michael Gove, secretary of state for education, has announced that the English Baccalaureate (EBacc) – which excludes music – will replace GCSEs from 2017 onwards.
The announcement sees the upgrade of the EBacc from a controversial performance measure to a fully fledged qualification. Currently, the EBacc is awarded to students who score six C grades or above in the following GCSEs: maths, English, two sciences, a humanity and a language. But from 2017, it will be awarded to students who achieve English Baccalaureate Certificates (EBCs) in each of those subjects. These will be developed with a view to making syllabuses more 'rigorous', with much more importance placed on the final exam. 'After years of drift, decline and dumbing down, at last we are reforming our examination system to compete with the world's best,' said Gove.
MT criticised the original incarnation of the EBacc and condemns the proposal to upgrade it to a qualification. Christopher Walters, MT's editor, said: 'In the name of supposed rigour, the EBacc has encouraged schools to divert their energies away from several vital subjects – including music – without which it is impossible to offer a rounded, modern education. Now that this arbitrary six-subject benchmark is set to replace GCSEs, schools will have little incentive to invest in music, art, technology or any other subject excluded from the EBacc.'
At present there is little information on what will happen to the subjects excluded from the EBacc. One government spokesperson said that GCSEs in those subjects could continue to exist in a 'toughened up' form, while another said that the GCSE 'brand' had become 'tainted' and new qualifications in the non-EBacc subjects could be developed.
The Incorporated Society of Musicians (ISM) – with whom MT campaigned against the EBacc in its original form – has also condemned the proposals and believes that they will increase pressure on pupils to drop creative subjects in favour of the six EBacc subjects.
Deborah Annetts, chief executive of the ISM, said: 'These proposals represent a missed opportunity to reform our education system. Michael Gove will ensure with these so-called reforms that the UK loses its competitive edge in the fields in which we are world class. It is as if the Olympics never happened. Design – gone, technology – gone, music – gone.'
Annetts added that the CBI, Creative Industries Council, ISM and Cultural Learning Alliance will all continue to push for reform of the EBacc to include 'at least some of what the UK economy is good at: creativity and culture.'
Diana Johnson, vice-chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Music Education and a former Labour education minister, said: 'The secretary of state for education has clearly forgotten all his warm words about music education in the past to launch an assault on music in secondary schools. Music education in the UK is world class, contributing hugely to our economy. The government should at least include music in the English Baccalaureate.'
Wallace and Gromit school composition competition launched
14 September 2012
A new competition has been launched to give primary school children the opportunity to create new soundtracks for specially selected clips starring Wallace and Gromit.
The competition has been designed to celebrate the BBC's Wallace and Gromit Prom this summer and is being run by BBC Proms, BBC Learning and Aardman Animations. It is open to children in Years 3, 4, 5 and 6.
In teams of between two and five, children will compose their own short film scores with the help of online resources produced by BBC Learning. These resources provide teachers with videos, ideas for use in class and printable worksheets, scripts and storyboards. Organisers hope the Wallace and Gromit Soundtrack competition will 'inspire boys and girls to become composers of music that complements the antics of two of the world's best loved animated characters'.
Class teachers can submit team entries in either video or audio form and the deadline for entries is 3 December. All shortlisted teams will be invited to Aardman Animations' Bristol studios, while the two winning teams will also travel to BBC North in Salford where their soundtracks will be recorded and broadcast on Blue Peter.

Better JavaDoc on http://java.net
Last August I posted a blog on setting up a project on http://java.net. I spent a paragraph on how I posted my project's JavaDoc API. I've worked with that solution for seven months, but I'm not really happy with it. I'd like to ask the people who run java.net for a better way, but I'm not sure exactly what to ask for.
The Problems with using CVS for JavaDoc
I have two problems with using CVS to store JavaDoc. The first is philosophical -- CVS is a source code control system, and JavaDoc .html files are a derived product, not source code. If you can check out the source code, you can build the JavaDoc yourself. If you change the JavaDoc, it doesn't matter; next time you rebuild it, those changes are lost. The second problem is logistical -- I either have to remove all the JavaDoc from the last release and add all the new JavaDoc from the latest release. Or I have to put each release under a new directory; that saves me removing it, but means that everyone's links point to an old copy and grows the www subdirectory over time. Either way, I have to add several layers deep of JavaDoc directories. And I get a 15 MB cvs change log in email every time.
Sourceforge's Approach
Sourceforge gives each user a unix account and each project a public web directory. Back when I kept projects on Sourceforge, I ftped a tar ball of .html files for the web pages, including the JavaDoc. It worked, but was fairly primitive. Plus it relied on letting the users log in remotely to sourceforge's servers. That's probably more than Sun, O'reilly and Collabnet are willing to pay for.
I've thought of three alternatives, but don't know which would be the best.
Collabnet, one of java.net's sponsors, paid to create Subversion, a replacement for CVS. I've used it at home for a while, and on a few projects at work. I'd rather use Subversion than CVS in any case; Subversion treats each commit as a transaction, linking all the changes together. Using Subversion to store source code and web pages would still not address my philosophical concerns. However, Subversion's ability to easily remove and add whole directory structures would be a huge improvement over CVS. I could even get rid of the top level v1, v2, v3, etc. directories.
.war Files
In the previous blog, straun suggested a separate repository of .war files for web sites. Using .war files would let us maintain project web sites the way Java developers are used to. The approach addresses both of my concerns. When I'm ready to release a new version of the web site, I build a .war file and post it in the appropriate place, instead of checking in the files as source code. And I handle the site as a single .war file instead of single files in directories. How close is http://java.net from being able to support that? What other pitfalls are involved? Would the administrators have to do something special to keep developers from putting executable code in the .war files?
Shared JavaDoc Database
A more compelling solution: Join with JDocs, a shared cross-linked JavaDoc database, or to set up something similar on java.net hardware. The JavaDocs would be completely separate from source code. And over time, we would grow a large, cross-linked set of API docs that would help us use each others' work. The JDoc site hasn't added new material since September 7th. I don't know what would be involved for the java.net administrators to set up such a system, or the java.net sponsors to link up with JDoc.
Those are the options I've thought of. Which of these should we ask for? Is there some other option we should consider?

The Quakers: Ordinary People Doing Extraordinary Things
Michael Rowntree (1919-2007)
Michael Rowntree was educated at Bootham Quaker school in York before going on to study politics, philosophy and economics at Queens College, Oxford. He was a local Quaker that became instrumental in the re-organising of the Friends Ambulance Unit (FAU) at the outbreak of World War Two.
The FAU had first been formed during World War One and enabled those who objected to bearing arms to support the war effort in a different way. Membership was not just limited to Quakers as other conscientious objectors who refused to fight due to religious, moral or ethical grounds were also allowed to join.
Rowntree was elected to several leadership positions within the FAU and served in a variety of countries around Europe. He later went on to help form Oxfam and continued to support many charitable causes after his retirement to Kirkbymoorside.

Sarah Palin Shopping New Reality Show
In 2010, Palin invited cameras to her home for TLC's 'Sarah Palin's Alaska.' However, the network has reportedly passed on the new project. THR reports Palin and 'Sara Palin's Alaska' producer Mark Burnett are pitching the program focusing on her husband and his career as a snowmobile racer. A&E Networks, which entered a bidding war with Discovery over 'Sarah Palin's Alaska,' has also passed on the show.
'Sarah Palin's Alaska' cost more than $1 million an episode and the team is asking for a similar payday, THR says.
The series premiere of 'Sarah Palin's Alaska' brought in a sizable 5 million viewers for TLC. It dropped to about 3.2 million viewers per episode, but following the finale, there were no plans for a second season.
Though networks don't seem interested in Todd, Palin's hair salon got its own TV special in September: The Beehive was featured in TLC's 'Big Hair Alaska.'
Now that Palin's out of the Republican presidential candidate race, is it time for her to return to reality TV?

3017 SE Milwaukie Ave.
[ICE POP] Shout Out Louds make a particularly Swedish brand of pop, one evoking rays of sunlight trying to pass through a glacier. It's bright and bummed-out at the same time, which isn't a new concept, of course, but the band's brand of catchy melancholia is particularly potent. Instrumentally, latest album Optica leans toward the brighter side of things, with sharp strings and synths and a few odd disco rhythms, but then singer Adam Olenius comes in with his Robert Smith-channeling mopiness and reminds us that the sun just makes you squint. The group is at its best when balancing its twin moods within a single track, and on Optica, it manages a better ratio than its last few efforts.

I didn't get the point of Gran Torino. I also don't get the point when racist old people ramble about how discontent they are with what the world has become. But much like Gran Torino, I enjoy the every-loving hell out of watching them do it.
This is supposedly the final film by Clint Eastwood. Good way to go out, because it feels like at least three different movies rolled into one. It's angry soliloquy by an aged Dirty Harry dropped into a race-reversal version of the Karate Kid built around the same issues of intolerance as Crash. It's a meandering story that feels more like a combination of devices than a coherent statement.
But in its wandering there are some fantastic scenes, most of them dealing with the juxtaposition of an overtly-racist Eastwood spewing intolerance at anyone within three feet of his wrinkly, cigarette-holding mouth. And it's not just minorities and 'the other' that absorb his vitriol– his kids, friends, barber, and priest are all victim to his particular brand of Pabst-loving, Ford-Plant-Working, "I was in Korea so fuck off" H8te.
Minorities, however, do get the most of it, and this is why the experience of watching the movie amongst a theatre of people is really great. Eastwood says more racist shit in the course of this film than seems possible, and the crowd laughs at it. What should be utterly unacceptable by all PC standards ends up being funny. The question is, why do moviegoers give him a pass?
From what I can tell, it's a two part answer. Part A is that we understand where he's coming from. He's a white male who has seen his entire world deteriorate. The houses on either side of him have fallen into disrepair and become filled with the people he thinks were shooting at him in the War. Crime is rampant in his neighborhood and it's not whites doing the drive by's. Part B is that we understand that he is a character. His detestable sentiments are part of a larger message within the film, and we forestall judgement so the movie can go on.
The problem is that I'm not totally sure what that larger point really is. Is the message that violence begets violence? Is it that its not the color of your skin that makes you an asshole, its being an asshole that makes you an asshole? Is it that we can learn to love our Hmong immigrant neighbors if we would just run out of Pabst more often and wander into their Potlucks? Is it that American culture is a vapid thing where the fiber of family has dissolved under the isolation of gated communities, SUV's, and text messaging?
The answer is Yes. Go SEE IT and decide for yourse. 8.5/10

If Patti Smith's narration to Dream of Life was simplified into a stanza, it might go something like this: As long as I can remember I sought to be free/Bob Dylan once tuned this guitar for me/My mission is to give people my energy/Fred, Jesse, and Jackson are my family tree/New generations, rise up, rise up, take to the streets/Me and Flea talking about pee. Her much more long-winded monologues are just as randomly assembled in the actual documentary, 109 mostly black-and-white minutes of punk's wet nurse floating through the modern world while endlessly ruminating on mortality, art, and the occasional bodily function. Problem is, there's nary a hint of context, even with biographic essentials: When Patti sprinkles the ashes of "Robert" onto her palm, we're momentarily left to guess that's Mapplethorpe; when she and erstwhile paramour Sam Shepard are acoustically jamming and their respective tattoos come up, the playwright muses, "That was a weird night at the Chelsea." More, please?New York:
Eleven years in the making, fashion photographer and artist Steven Sebring's gorgeous, up-close-and-personal doc about the legendary rocker is both a journey into Smith's storied past and a portrait of her life today-less a movie about a musician than a transfixing meditation on her own iconography.Salon:
"Patti Smith: Dream of Life" is frequently beautiful and intermittently haunting and could be called a meditation on aging and mortality, an intimate study of a peculiar variety of fame and a portrait of a genuinely remarkable person. It has played at Sundance and Berlin and all over the film festival world, at least in part because everyone's so amazed it actually got finished. Still, while "Dream of Life" succeeds on its own terms, I can't help feeling there's a missed opportunity here, an opportunity to make clear to younger women and men just how amazing Patti Smith's journey has been. (Maybe, like Julien Temple's wonderful "Joe Strummer: The Future Is Unwritten," that kind of film can't be made while the subject is alive — but I'm not quite sure why that would be so.)The New York Times:
You may not learn everything you want to know in "Patti Smith: Dream of Life," an impressionistic portrait of that punk godhead, but you learn just about everything you need. Created over a heroic 11 years, it was directed and mostly shot by Steven Sebring, a high-end commercial photographer whose perseverance and conspicuous unfamiliarity with, or disregard for, the conventions of nonfiction cinema (not to mention the apparently deep-enough pockets that freed him to follow his own muse) have inspired a lovely, drifty first feature that feels less like a documentary and more like an act of rapturous devotion.Variety:
The titular rocker-poet gets a suitable portrait in Steven Sebring's "Patti Smith: Dream of Life," which runs radically against the grain of American-made pop music docs. The result of 11 years of filming (much of it in wonderfully grainy black-and-white 16mm), pic is designed as a stream-of-consciousness experience, following Smith as she revives her music career and considers every aspect of her life. Death, too, plays a stark role, and the textured, thoughtful results may prove too cerebral and abstract for auds beyond Smith's hardcore followers, but long-term, this will be a loss-leader that gains much respect. What Sebring — a fashion and pop photographer, painter and commercials maker — doesn't know about doc filmmaking never hurts the film. Starting in 1995, when Smith recorded her comeback album "Gone Again" and toured with her idol, Bob Dylan, after having not performed live for 16 years, Sebring's project clearly developed as it went along, and the effect of watching the film is seeing something in the making — like rummaging through Smith's closet, and stumbling across interesting stuff.The Hollywood Reporter:
A knowledge of Smith's landmark contribution as a rock 'n' roll pioneer is not essential, and the film should be a joy for anyone interested in pop culture of the past 40 years. Sebring does not take a conventional route here, which is fitting for his subject. The long gestation period for the film has afforded an intimacy and ease that allows him to penetrate Smith's inner and outer worlds, weaving back and forth in time from her arrival in New York in the late 1960s to raising her two children in Detroit with husband Fred "Sonic" Smith to her triumphant return to performing in the mid-'90s. Structure is anchored in the bedroom of Smith's cluttered New York apartment and jumps around from there as she reflects on her life and art.Time Out New York:
But having privileged access and elucidating a mysterious figure are two different things. Sebring makes the crucial mistake of assuming his viewers are all Smithologists. (Even for them, the film might be too vague to become a holy object.) Amazingly, there is no testimony to contextualize her impact on the punk world, nothing at all about the horrendous 1977 onstage injury-she broke several neck vertebrae-that almost cost Smith her career. The live footage is choppy and interrupted; almost perversely, we never hear Smith's gorgeous hit "Because the Night." And the great question mark over Smith's life-why she retreated from the spotlight along with her husband, White Panther and former MC5er Fred "Sonic" Smith-is not probed. Instead, we get a lot of the singer's poetry and recent political activism, and many sweet moments with her children and doting parents. Sebring is a sentimentalist, and his film comes alive when Smith melts into warm memories of going to Coney Island with Robert Mapplethorpe and getting hot dogs. But the opportunity to introduce newbies to a serious music-world icon-and her significance-feels squandered.

text: Well, I made a little progress. I used grep to find PyChannel_new in: /home/simon/Source/Stackless/release25-maint/libpython2.5.a (the new version including stackless?) and manually copied it over: /usr/local/lib/python2.5/config/libpython2.5.a (the old version without stackless?) Then the program compiles and link! Woot I thought! However I get a seg fault when running it. The debugger in code::blocks IDE with g++ points to a problem quite deep in Py_InitializeEx(). I think my manual copy of the library is bad. How come make install didn't do that? I guess I've got two copies of python (at least in parts) on my machine: /usr/local/include/python2.5 /usr/include/python2.5 Is this causing some problem?

from EDMONTON
I also found that these heel orthotics did not stay in place. I found that these small heel orthotics would NOT stay put, thus creating a very uncomfortable ridge which was digging into the bottom of my foot. For this reason I had to return them.I would highly recommend the "full" orthotic which you can custom cut to prevent movement after placing it into your shoe or boot.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Great Support

Gives support and comfort for shoes that have little or no support or even just for a little extra cushioning. Would have given it five stars but it's not the greatest at staying in place.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Since I have been using these, I can now work out with very little heel pain. They are so comfortable and you don't feel them.

Law School Deans, Law Schools, Minority Issues, U.S. News
Law deans from schools that did poorly in the U.S. News law school rankings can't stop making excuses for their schools.
Most of the excuses are comical, but none of them bother me quite like the "diversity argument." The diversity argument claims that a school's low ranking is somehow because of the school's commitment to diversity.
If it were a good argument, it would be an offensive one to make. People who do the right thing because it's the right thing to do shouldn't go around begging for thanks and praise for doing the right thing. But suggesting that diversity is somehow antithetical to a strong U.S. News ranking isn't even a good argument to begin with…
American University's Washington College of Law fell from #56 to #72 in the latest U.S. News law school rankings. The school's official response has already previewed their displeasure with the U.S. News refusal to take WCL's diversity into account:
The same publication provides a diversity index that is not factored into their law school ranking, despite the central importance of diversity on the depth and quality of a legal education in particular. AUWCL ranks near the top of this index as one of the most diverse law schools in the country, yet our U.S. News rank fails to take into account, in any form whatsoever, this important and valuable distinction.
Tony Varona, WCL's Associate Dean for Faculty and Academic Affairs, takes the argument even further in the NYU Review of Law & Social Change:
The U.S. News ranking methodology ignores student diversity altogether in calculating the rankings. It treats a law school with little diversity as virtually indistinguishable from a very diverse school where pedagogically rich exchanges like those above abound.
For a variety of reasons, the average underrepresented minority student tends to have lower GPA and LSAT scores – the myopic academic credentials that U.S. News "counts" – than his or her White, nonminority counterpart. So, it is easy to see how schools that trade student diversity for higher numbers tend to move up in the U.S. News ranks. By contrast, schools that refuse to sacrifice diversity pay a big U.S. News price for pursuing what most educators agree is best for all our students. U.S. News actually rewards less diverse schools for admitting less diverse classes, and altogether ignores the clear learning advantages at the more diverse schools.
Bulls**t. It's one thing to say that U.S. News should consider diversity in its overall law school rankings. There are lots of things people think U.S. News should consider. Hell, Above the Law is about to publish our second annual law school rankings, which are full of things we think U.S. News should consider.
But suggesting that U.S. News is punishing schools for being diverse is another thing entirely. U.S. News punishes schools for attracting people with weak academic credentials. There are lots of minorities and women with high LSAT scores and GPAs. American's problem is that those students don't want to go to American. Maybe if American spent more time trying to attract high-scoring minorities and less time insulting the minorities who are there by bemoaning the school's "sacrifice" in their name, things would be better for WCL.
And just because a diverse class makes for a better educational environment for all students doesn't mean that things like the U.S. News "diversity index" are particularly good at measuring that diversity. Counting exercises are one of the worst ways to measure a school's commitment to diversity, if the goal of diversity is to attract a wide range of opinions and experiences. Sure, schools can just admit any URMs they can find, and call themselves "diverse" based on those numbers. But the best schools do outreach and find minorities and women who truly represent "diverse" opinions and who have competitive scores. American only ranks 31st on the diversity index anyway. You want to know some schools that rank higher than American? There are schools like: Whittier, Nova Southeastern, CUNY, and Thomas Jefferson. Clearly, admitting minorities for the sake of pumping up your minority admittees doesn't do anything for those people when it comes time to find a job.
But there are other schools that, again, rank higher than American on the diversity list that have more U.S. News juice. A minority WCL student makes this point to the administration:
In fact, WCL ranks 31st on the diversity index. Cornell University ranks first, and is ranked 13th on the list of "Best Law Schools". Stanford is 19th on the diversity index, and third on the overall ranking. Columbia is 28th on the diversity index, and fourth overall. UC Hastings, USC Gould, UC Berkeley, the University of Maryland, and UC Davis also bested American in both diversity and overall ranking. WCL is not even the most diverse school that shares the ranking of 72nd overall – that distinction belongs to the University of New Mexico, 22nd on the diversity index. (Go, Lobos!)
Boom. Debate over. We see that there are a bunch of schools with "better" diversity than American that also do better than American in the rankings. There are also schools with better diversity than American who do a lot worse than American in the U.S. News rankings. You can be a highly ranked "diverse" school, or a poorly ranked "diverse" school: American should try harder to be the former instead of bitching that its the latter.
You want to know what ranking diversity students considering American should really care about? Try the indebtedness rankings. American ranks third on that list, behind only TJSL and NYLS. God forbid U.S. News ever starts taking that into account. Then we'll have to endure American arguing that putting minority students into unimaginable debt is somehow all part of its commitment to diversity in legal education.

The female Sandhill crane that was causing traffic backups along a Brevard County road has died after an attempt to trap it.
Wildlife trapper James Dean said that the crane was electrocuted after the trapper tried to use a net gun to trap the bird.
After the net gun trapping attempt, the crane apparently flew into a telephone pole Saturday morning at the intersection of NASA Boulevard and Evans Road.
The female crane was taken to the wildlife hospital, but later died. Trappers were trying to aid the crane, which was limping prior to the incident, according to Florida Today.
The male crane is still at the intersection, according to Dean.
The crane's death comes after the cranes were wandering into traffic and attacking to protect their nests. Officials relocated the nest and eggs, but the birds remained at the intersection.

Davao del Sur declared election hotspot-A A +A
Friday, February 15, 2013
THE Police Regional Office (PRO) identified Davao del Sur province as the only election hotspot among the provinces in the Davao Region.
PRO regional deputy spokesperson, Senior Inspector Rowena M. Jacosalem, said Davao del Sur has been placed as under Category 1 in their election watchlist.
The watchlist has two categories. Category 1 includes areas where there is a high possibility of occurrence of politically-motivated violent incidents, while under Category 2 are those with serious arm threats posed by armed groups.
"Under Category 1, we only have eight barangays, four municipalities and one city in Davao del Sur," Jacosalem said during the Armed Forces of the Philippines-Philippine National Police (AFP-PNP) Press Corps forum at the Task Force Davao (TFD) headquarters Thursday.
Falling under Category 2 are Compostela Valley, Davao Oriental, Davao del Norte and Davao City.
In Compostela Valley, there about 100 barangays from seven municipalities while in Davao Oriental, there are 32 barangays from eight municipalities.
"Davao del Norte recorded the least areas under our watchlist with three barangays from one municipality while Davao City has eight barangays from two districts," Jacosalem added.
Chief of the community relations division of the PRO Superintendent Filmore Escobal said one of the election hotspots in Davao del Sur is Malita, where a shooting incident took place in a previous election.
"Naa pud presensya sa mga lawless armed groups sama aning New People's Army (NPA) sa ubang probinsya sa Davao Region. Kining mga lugara, continuous pa ni nga i-validate sa atong Joint Peace and Security Coordinating Council (JPSCC) para ma-update ni sila (There are also the presence of the NPA in the other provinces of Davao Region. These areas are being validated by JPSCC so that the hotspots will be updated)," Escobal said.
With the hotspot area identified, the AFP and the PNP have already implemented preventive measures to ensure the security of the upcoming elections this coming May 13.
Escobal said they already have pre-deployment plans and have already identified the areas where they could focus the deployment of law enforcers.
Spokesperson for the 10th Infantry Division (10th ID), Lieutenant Colonel Lyndon Paniza, said they have launched the campaign plan and contingencies to prevent the permit to campaign strategy of the NPA.
"We also have deployed soldiers in 96 barangays in the region not only to conduct our Peace and Development Outreach Program but to ensure the security of the people during elections," Paniza said.
He said they are also committed to provide security during the campaign rallies. They will just have to coordinate with the Commission on Elections (Comelec) if they are allowed to deploy their forces.
The hostpot areas, however, may change come the campaign period which kicks off on March 29 candidates running for local positions.
The AFP, PNP and Comelec are monitoring the different provinces in Davao Region to determine if there are any changes in the election watchlist.

My brother has been to Hermanus, my sister has been to Hermanus, and now Carmel Hanratty's third and final child has been to Hermanus. I can see why my brother and sister have been here. It's a really nice place to chill out for a few days.
When I got here on Friday night I knew it was going to be a lot quieter than Cape Town. It is, don't get me wrong, but I didn't know it was going to be as beautiful as it is. It boasts an amazing location on the Western Cape with breathtaking ocean views.
It's also regarded as the best place in the world to view whales from the shore. I haven't seen any unfortunately. It isn't whale season. Apparently a few were seen the other day. Not by me though. After walking the cliff path for a while I went to the beach and then explored downtown Hermanus for my imminent free pocket guide which is coming soon.

A tad pricier than usual
A Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupé auctioned for charity in Naples, Florida, pulled in a whopping $2 million.
photo courtesy Rolls Royce
Although official pricing is yet to be announced, those in the know about the breathtaking four-seat Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupé offer educated guesses of just south of $400,000.
That's a mere drop in the bucket compared to the price paid for the first Drophead built for American consumption; it was purchased at a charity auction held during the Naples (Florida) Winter Wine festival for $2 million.
More than $1.6 million, or in this case the premium over the sticker price, will go to the Naples Children and Education Foundation. This winning bid is believed to make the Phantom Drophead Coupé the most expensive new car sold in America.

Tyrion Lannister
Tyrion Lannister is the youngest son of Tywin Lannister and Joanna. He is a dwarf, and this makes him a target of constant ridicule as most folks have labeled him "The Imp" and "The Halfman".
Tyron hails from the great noble House Lannister, which is one of the wealthiest great houses in the Seven Kingdoms. He has two siblings, Cersei and Jaime who are twins. Tyrion is well-educated, extremely intelligent, shrewd and calculating. He has great compassion for outcasts and the ill-treated; however, he is equally harsh and deals with his foes mercilessly. Tyrion has a good relationship with his brother, Jaime, but not his sister, Cersei.
His physical features are the cause of numerous problems and harassment, as he has short legs, a protruding forehead, and eyes whose colors do not match. At some point, he did grow a beard whose hairs were black and blonde. Tyrion Lannister also has a ghastly facial scar across his face that he got during the Battle of the Blackwater.
Tyrion's mother died giving birth to him, and his father, Tywin Lannister blames him for her death. Moreover, his father hates him for it and also for his deformity. Tyrion Lannister is constantly left out of normal family life, particularly by his father and sister, who mistreated him when he was younger.
At one time, Tyrion and Jaime Lannister saved a common girl called Tysha from bandits, Tyrion was thirteen at the time. As Jaime chased after the thugs, Tyrion stayed behind to take care of Tysha. Tyrion was extremely surprised when he realized that Tysha liked him, and they finally made love. Tyrion fell so deeply in love with Tysha that he gave a bribe to a septon and married his love in secret. Sadly, their happiness was short lived, and before his father got wind of the wedding, Tywin ordered Jaime to lie about Tysha. He was asked to say that she was a prostitute hired by him for Tyrion's pleasure. Since the "prostitute" had supposedly married a Lannister, Lord Tywin commanded his entire guard to rape Tysha for a payment of a silver coin each, and Tyrion was made to finish last for a gold coin, since a Lannister has more worth. adly, their happiness was short lived, and before his father could find out about the wedding in secret. Kingdoms.
After Jaime's planned marriage to Lysa Tully succeeded, Aerys titled Jaime to the Kingsguard. Tywin then offered Tyrion as a substitute; however, Hoster Tully informed him that Lysa wanted a full man.
At sixteen, Tyrion Lannister had matured into a man, and like his uncles Gerion and Tygett, he also wanted to visit the Nine Free Cities; however, he was forbidden from visiting the place. As an alternative, Tywin was given command over the cisterns and drains of Casterly Rock.
