Smarter, balanced?
Smarter, balanced?
Huh. All this time I thought Smarter Balanced was some kind of low-fat margarine stuff that sensible older people use to control their cholesterol. But it turns out that it's a new way of testing students, instead of using the Connecticut Mastery Test and the Connecticut Academic Performance Test. If nothing else, this demonstrates that the educrats who dream these things up have switched from dry academic jargon to advertising lingo. ("It's smarter! It's balanced! Wow!")
Anyway, area school systems are moving ahead with the Smarter Balanced Assessment and are hoping the U.S. Department of Education will deign to grant them permission to do so, because Smarter Balanced aligns better with the Common Core standards that have been adopted by most states, including Connecticut. (A map on the Common Core State Standards Initiative website shows that every state has either "adopted" or "not yet adopted" the standards – no other possibility is mentioned. Translation: "Everybody's doing it! Wow!")
The local school boards also have to tell the state Department of Education whether they're going to use Smarter Balanced, because there are new teacher evaluation procedures coming in. The state wants to know whether a town is using CMT (for grades 3 through 8) and CAPT (for grade 10), or Smarter Balanced, because 22.5 percent of a teacher's evaluation must be based on students' standardized test results. But there's no science portion of SBA, so administrators will have to administer the science portions of the old tests anyway. Is that clear?
One area school superintendent declared that switching to Smarter Balanced is "a no-brainer" – not something one is necessarily glad to hear from an educator. Another observed that switching makes sense because "we want to get ahead of the game" – and "game" sounds like exactly the right word here: What with Common Core and Smarter Balanced coming down the pike, along with the new teacher evaluation scheme; to be followed by whatever trend pops up next year, and the year after that (I'm being careful here to say "trend" rather than "fad" or "gimmick"); and with all the state and federal hoops they have to jump through every time they turn around, today's school superintendents and principals and even teachers certainly have very different jobs from those of their colleagues from long ago.
I was just looking at the dedication program for James Gates Percival School in Kensington, which opened in 1956 and was attended by Yrs Trly. Ancient history? You bet: The total cost of the school was $356,751.00 and the faculty consisted of eight teachers – including the principal, who was the "principal teacher" in the old sense, in that he also taught sixth grade. Gone are the days when one person could juggle all the tasks of being a principal – even of a small elementary school, including all the required paperwork – and also teach.
How do other countries teach? Glad you asked.
I was also looking at a review of a book about how schools are run in several countries, including South Korea, Poland and Finland, all of which do well in international comparisons. Finland even does so without forcing the kids to endure a school year so long that it would be unacceptable on these shores. One thing the author found was that Finnish schools achieve their laudable results thorough the careful selection and rigorous training of teachers – even in a "dingy" school with just a chalkboard, no iPads or high-tech whiteboards or anything of the sort – and not through the kind of "dazzlingly complex performance evaluations" we keep inventing here. But we've got the system we've got, so it must be the system we want.

RATINGS: 130 WEIGHTED AVG: 3.52/5 SEASONAL: Summer IBU: 75 EST. CALORIES: 240 ABV: 8%
This "imperial IPA" has a very strong hop aroma and flavor, however it isnt as bitter as the Gale Force IPA. There is a strong malt backbone to offer a level of balance but with over two and a half pounds of hops per barrel it resonates hops from start to finish. With so much flavor happening you miss the 8.6% alcohol by volume so be careful when serving or drinking. Hops were added at every stage of the process...it was dry-hopped with chinooks for two weeks. 75 IBUs. Hops: chinook, centennial, columbus, cascade, bullion.

Governing magazine: State and local government news for America's leaders
Michigan Kills Controversial Emergency Manager Law
Voters repealed a unique law that gave state-appointed officials unprecedented power in struggling cities and school districts. But the debate is far from settled.
For full election coverage and analysis, go to Governing's 2012 Election Center.
Michigan's controversial emergency manager law, which gave unprecedented authority for state-appointed officials to run local governments, is no more.
Voters repealed Public Act 4, the law enacted by the state legislature last year, which allowed the state's "emergency managers" to take over powers held by mayors and other locally elected officials. Emergency managers could pass ordinances, sell property, and make changes to labor contracts in struggling cities and school districts.
The proposal to repeal the law passed with 52 percent of the vote, with 94 percent of precincts reporting, according to the Detroit Free Press.
"Good public policy has to have community support, and voters in Michigan sent a strong signal that the approach to the emergency manager takeovers is not the solution that they want for our financial challenges," Flint Mayor Dayne Walling -- whose own powers have been reduced by the law -- told Governing Wednesday morning.
Currently, three Michigan school districts and four cities are operating under the state oversight. Three other cities signed agreements that give the state broad oversight but fall short of turning over total control to a state appointee.
But the debate over emergency managers is far from settled. While PA 4 has been repealed, state officials maintain that a previous version of the law, Public Act 72, remains in effect. Opponents of emergency managers say PA 72 is less onerous than its successor. But they still would prefer to see emergency managers in localities gone altogether.
So as opponents of emergency management are celebrating their victory at the polls, they are also bracing for two-pronged fight going forward.
A series of lawsuits filed prior to the vote will determine whether PA 72 is in effect, or whether emergency management will be eliminated outright. Meanwhile, state lawmakers could craft a replacement bill to PA 4.
"Any new law should not usurp the authority of elected officials," says Herb Sanders, an attorney with Stand up for Democracy, the labor-backed group that lead the campaign for repeal. "It should not be applied arbitrarily and capriciously as PA 4 was. It should include some type of provision in which local governments are not left holding the bag for bad bond deals encouraged by the state."
Walling says he hopes the legislature doesn't "rehash what's happened over the last two years."
Some lawmakers have already suggested they'll consider new emergency management legislation, and Gov. Rick Snyder has previously said a new version of an emergency manager law could be on the table if PA 4 was thrown out by voters or the courts.
James Hohman, assistant director of fiscal policy at the Mackinac Center -- a Michigan think tank that supports PA 4 -- says state lawmakers will likely take up the issue soon in their lame duck session. "The legislature will be wary of passing something way too similar to something that taxpayers have already rejected," Hohman says.
While labor groups scored a victory with the defeat of PA 4, they faced a major defeat in a separate effort to enshrine public and private sector workers' collective bargaining rights in the state constitution. That effort was rejected by 58 percent of voters, according to the Free Press.
"It's going to leave a lot of legislators scratching their heads as to what's the message voters are sending," Hohman says.
Labor groups oppose PA 4 because one of the greatest powers reserved by emergency managers is the ability to force changes to existing labor contracts. Public sector unions have balked at the use and threatened use of that authority, saying it jeopardizes good pay and benefits for public workers and encourages outsourcing to private firms.
But supporters of emergency management say that authority is a critical tool for any official trying to repair a financial distressed city, since personnel costs typically represent local governments' greatest expense.

'Debates around racism must take place in society'
Baleka Mbete says debates around racism must take place in Parliament, churches, universities and in society.
JOHANNESBURG – National Assembly Speaker Baleka Mbete says reconciliation will not be achieved if issues of inequality and racism are not urgently addressed.
Mbete was speaking in Midrand yesterday at an event to mark the 20-year anniversary of the Human Rights Commission (HRC).
The HRC is holding a two-day seminar aimed at highlighting its role in society.
Mbete says debates around racism must take place in Parliament, churches, universities and in society.
She told delegates it's within the chambers of Parliament where leadership must be demonstrated, adding the country can't move forward if Members of Parliament (MPs) keep tearing each other down.
Meanwhile Public Protector Thuli Madonsela says this conference is being held at a time when the country is faced by a number of social ills.
Former President Thabo Mbeki is expected to deliver today's keynote address as the conference draws to a close.

OCZ Vertex 2 SSD review
Posted by: Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 05/02/2010 02:00 PM [ 0 comment(s) ]
OCZ is back to attack with a new SSD in that slowly saturating SSD storage market. Yes, the Vertex 2 is finally here. OCZ has been on a winning streak with their SSD drives ever since that started selling Indilinx controller based products The SandForce controllers will bring extensive performance equal and even higher to the Indilinx products yet without the need for additional cache memory. And that sounds weird really ... no additional cache memory is being used to solve the random IO perf of small files. The random IO on read/write rates spotted on this Vertex 2 takes productivity to the next level as we'll show you later on. Read article

WASHINGTON: It would be a mistake for Hillary Clinton to ask U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts to be her running mate on this fall's Democratic ticket. And Clinton is too savvy to do so, despite a recent poll in which more than a third of Democrats surveyed favored Warren's selection.

Mickey Rourke Net Worth: Mickey Rourke is an American actor who has a net worth of $15 million dollars. Mickey Rourke was born Philip Andre Rourke, Jr. on September 16, 1952 in Schenectady, New York. His interest in sports led him to boxing and an eventual decision to relocate to Florida to embark on an amateur boxing career. In 1969 he faced former champion Luis Rodriquez but ended up with a concussion, followed by another concussion just a year later. Rourke threw in the towel and retired from the ring. Rourke caught the acting bug in the late seventies and headed back to New York to study under the mentoring of actress Sandra Seacat, landing his first significant role in Steven Spielberg's 1941 (1979). It was in 1981's Body Heat that earned him the attention he needed. During the'80s Rourke starred in Diner, Rumble Fish and the erotic drama 9½ Weeks. He also received critical acclaim for his work in Barfly and Angel Heart. In 1991, Rourke left acting and became a professional boxer for a time. He had supporting roles in several later films, including The Rainmaker, Buffalo '66, The Pledge, Get Carter, Spun, Once Upon a Time in Mexico and Man on Fire. In 2005 Rourke made his comeback in mainstream Hollywood with a lead role in Sin City, for which he won awards from the Chicago Film Critics Association, the Irish Film and Television Awards and the Online Film Critics Society. In the 2008 film The Wrestler, Rourke portrayed a past-his-prime wrestler, and received a 2009 Golden Globe Award, a BAFTA Award and a nomination for an Academy Award. In 2010 he appeared in Iron Man 2 and The Expendables. In 2011, Rourke was cast in the film Java Heat as an American citizen shadowing terrorist groups in Java, Indonesia. The film was released in 2013.

Fatal selfie: Man shoots himself in head while posing with gun for Facebook photo
MEXICO CITY - A young man in Mexico died after he tried to take a Facebook "selfie" as he pointed a gun at himself.
Oscar Otero Aguilar, 21, of Mexico City, was mortally wounded when the gun he was pointing at his head discharged.
Police said he had borrowed the gun and was waving it around while trying to snap a photo.
Neighbor Manfredo Paez Paez told local media: "I heard a gunshot, and then I heard somebody screaming and realized somebody had been hurt. I called the police and when they arrived they found that he was still alive."
Paez died in an ambulance on the way to the hospital.
Previous selfies posted on his Facebook page showed him in front of fast cars, sitting on expensive motorcycles, hugging beautiful women and posing in a band.
The incident happened last week.
Private ownership of guns is illegal in Mexico.

Critic Carrie Rickey traces the evolution of women on film and behind the camera over the course of her career writing about film.
"The To Do List" may not be a film of great substance, but this comedy about a young girl's strange, semi-erotic journey from untouched maiden to minx accomplishes something both rare and significant for a teen movie: it places a female character in the central role as unapologetic sexual aggressor.
Live-tweeted from Los Angeles:
Few directors have left a more distinctive or influential body of work than John Hughes. The creator of the modern American teenager film, who died Thursday in New York, made a group of films that are still watched and quoted today.
This is how you promote a movie. As for The Dance: It's not just Molly Ringwald in "The Breakfast Club," Duckie (in "Pretty in Pink"), Carmen Miranda and Jimmy Carter. There's definitely an element of Elaine in "Seinfeld"...
View image Those plucky, sympathetic teens of yesteryear.
You know what? "Sex and the City" was for girls! Yes, it's true. First it was for (and about) gay boys, but eventually it revolved around a certain brand of perfume-insert, fashion-magazine womankind: rich, white, co-dependent, status-obsessed, desperate for a man to complete her.
Know what else? Judd Apatow makes movies about guys -- and heterosexual relationships with women, but mainly about what used to be known as "male bonding." (The fashionable term now is "bro-mance," which is cuter and invoked largely by what used to be called "metrosexuals.") The Apatow guy tends to be underemployed, white, Jewish (or Canadian), slobby, geeky, smelly, childish (not just "childlike") and more or less happy, unaware that he's desperate for a woman to complete him. Then, once he becomes aware, he's not entirely sure that's possible, or desirable.
This, I submit, is a minor breakthrough in romantic comedy. OK, perhaps I am single and bitter, but I'm also right.
In the New York Sun (also known as "the conservative New York Sun"), Steve Dollar mentions that Catherine Keener's character in "The 40-Year-Old Virgin" "pretty much takes the blame for making the poor guy sell all his collectible model toys (but whose side is Apatow on?), and spends much of her screen time mothering her infantile boyfriend."
Is that what happens? Even if so, whose side is Mr. Dollar on? (And who said it was necessary to divine and choose "sides"?)
Q. There are several reports about extreme reactions of early cinema audiences that I find hard to believe. It is said that viewers of the first movies were frightened by what they saw, such as moving images of an incoming train.
Jim Thompson has been dead for 15 years now, and he never got much notice when he was alive, but all of his books are in print again--with covers showing the broads with low necklines, the desperate guys with their cigarettes and three-day beards, and always in the foreground the bottle of booze.
All of a sudden, there are movies about teenagers who are ordinary kids. They come as such a relief after all the movies about teenagers who are killers, victims, lust-crazed sex fiends, hookers, punks, sluts and goons. There for a while it looked like half the new teenage movies were going to be ripoffs of two of the sleaziest recent trendsetters at the box office, "Porky's" and "Friday the 13th." Teenagers in those movies had fairly limited options: They could look through peepholes into the girls' shower room, or they could get disemboweled by a faceless monster.

From the evolutionary family tree, you'd expect our DNA to be the most similar to chimps, our closest relatives. The new work found that's true for the most part, but it also found that a sizable portion of our genome is closer to a gorilla's than to a chimp's.
"The chimpanzee is often cited as 'our closest living relative' and this is certainly true based on total genome sequence, but the gorilla is nearly as close a relative," Owen Lovejoy of Kent State University, who was not part of the project, said in an email.
That agrees with hints from with some smaller previous genetic studies. The latest work deciphered the entire genome of the gorilla, which Lovejoy called "a substantial achievement."
It reveals "a closer connection between our genome and that of the gorilla than was previously appreciated," Richard Gibbs and Jeffrey Rogers of the Baylor College of Medicine wrote in an editorial accompanying the work published in Thursday's issue of the journal Nature.
With the new research, scientists now have complete genetic blueprints of the living great apes — humans, chimps, gorillas and orangutans — to compare and gain fresh understanding of how humans evolved and developed key traits such as higher brain function and the ability to walk upright.
Humans and chimps evolved separately since splitting from a common ancestor about 6 million years ago.
The latest study was led by scientists at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, a nonprofit British genome research center. Researchers mapped the DNA of a female gorilla and compared it to the genomes of humans and chimps.
As expected, most of the human genome was closer to the chimp's than to the gorilla's. But in about 15 percent of the genome, human and gorilla resemble each other the most. In another 15 percent, chimp and gorilla DNA are closer to each other than chimp is to human. Both those situations clash with what you'd expect from the evolutionary tree, which says humans and chimps should always be the most similar, the researchers said.
The analysis also found gene variants in gorillas that are harmless to them but are linked to dementia and heart failure in people.
"If we could understand more about why those variants are so harmful in humans but not in gorillas, that would have important" medical implications, said one of the study's authors, Chris Tyler-Smith.
The gorilla genome was cracked using DNA from Kamilah, a 300-pound western lowland gorilla from the San Diego Zoo, which maintains a DNA library of endangered animals. Since the mapping of the human genome in 2001, there was a dash to similarly unravel the genetic codes of other animals, particularly primates. The first complete chimp genome was published in 2005 and the orangutan last year.
Like other great apes, gorilla populations in the forests of central Africa have been dwindling from hunting and disease. In decoding Kamilah's DNA, researchers said they hoped to do the same for the mountain gorilla, which is near extinction.
