Tastes good without those nasty preservatives that they put here in Japan.

Moins bon que des gnocchis maison ou frais, mais gout et texture plaisante.
Not what I expected

Bland taste, weird texture. I was so excited :(
Posted by Reviewer2580960 on Jan 13, 2015
I was so excited to try these gnocchi but it was a huge disappointment to me. The taste was bland and the texture was terrible. I actually threw away half the package because it was that awful.

Nvidia today released CUDA 2.0, a new version of its C language development environment for its graphics processing units (GPUs). CUDA enables PCs equipped with certain Nvidia graphics processors to offload the computation of some information to the graphics processor instead of using the CPU. Nvidia's graphics processors are parallel processing engines, which makes them suited to handling tasks such as medical volume reconstruction and oil and gas seismic computing, for example.
CUDA is Nvidia's implementation of technology called General-Purpose Computing on Graphics Processing Units, or GPGPU. CUDA was developed by NVIDIA in 2006 as an architecture for advanced programming that takes advantage of additional capabilities offered by parallel processing with multiple cores. This compiler works by feeding calculation data to the massively multi-cored GPU systems, allowing them to break down the code in a shorter span of time than is normally required by sequentially-operating main processors.
NVIDIA claims there are 90 million CUDA compatible GPUs already purchased by customers around the world. Apps written with CUDA require a card with one of NVIDIA's chips built with its unified shader architecture, including all GeForce 8- and 9-series cards as well as newer Quadro FX cards. Its Tesla and Quadro Plex general-purpose acceleration cards also support the feature.
The latest production release of the CUDA toolset includes Windows 32-bit and 64-bit support as well as Mac OS X support, and also includes an Adobe Photoshop plug-in example, as well as its source code. The example allows developers to design plug-ins that move the most compute-intensive functions of Adobe Photoshop to the GPU, such as filtering and image manipulation, delivering performance improvements. The plug-in is available as source code so developers can easily develop advanced filters and imaging techniques that are available directly within Adobe Photoshop. Nvidia hopes the example will spawn further efforts from third-party developers to create filtering and image manipulation software that leverages Nvidia GPUs to speed processing.

Topic: how long does it take?
I was given a project as a part of an interviewing process for job. I'm asking here because it requires testing (I do Cucumber/rspec/unit testing)
The project already has basic user authentication and the first page, but nothing else. But it requires testing for the authentication as well.
How long does it take to implement the following project?
Implement an online store with 2 types of users:
1. Customer: logs in and sees a page with products, each includes name and price. They select any number of those products and add them to the shopping cart. They go to their shopping cart and are able to check out unless there is 0 items in the cart. No credit card processing required, but the order should be saved. After that, they go back to the product page, now it contains a link to their order status. After they click on this link, they see a summary of their orders.
2. Admin: logs in and sees a link to the store statistics. After they click on this link, they see a table of all the products sold, including total counts and total money. They are able to sort the statistics chart by any of the columns.
It should include testing, validation (if specified?), efficient queries and usable interface.
I have my own estimate and how long they give to me, but would be curious what other people think of it.
Thanks beforehand!

Starflash Everyday Look
Of course you know I had to do a look from the new Starflash collection. I was in a rush on Saturday to go out with my girls for my bestie's birthday. I took a quick glance at my starflash eyeshadows (I had them laying on top of my makeup drawers within easy reach) and decided to pair up the neutrals because I figured they'd be the quickest and easiest to work with. I was completely surprised by the fact that the neutrals are my favorite colors of the collection! You all know I'm a bright eyeshadow kind of gal but these colors are absolutely gorgeous. This is perfect for an everyday look. I would even use it for bridal makeup if I added a longer lasting lip product...i'm wearing a tendertone here which wouldn't have the staying power necessary for a wedding.
Here's What I Used (All MAC unless otherwise specified):
-Rimmel fix and perfect foundation primer
-select moisture conceealer in NW37
-msf natural in med dark
-msf natural in dark
-sweet william cremeblush
-shy beauty - beauty powder blush
-spiked eyebrow pencil and cork eyesadow on brows
-soft ochre paint pot
-bold and brazen e/s
-grand entrance e/s
-glamour check e/s
-stubborn brown powerpoint pencil
-Revlon colorstay liquid liner in black brown
-model 21. lashes
-zoomlash mascara
-stripdown lip pencil
-hush hush tendertone

The new iPad or older gen?
So, I need a bit of help. I bought an iPad about a month or so ago. I'm trying to sell/trade for iPad Mini 64 GB. So, as I'm trying to sell, I get a potential offer hit from Craigslist. Guy asks for serial number to make sure it's an iPad Retina , but apparently says its an older gen. Now, I was sure I got the new iPad 3rd gen with Retina when I got it on Craigslist. But now I'm not even sure. Is there ANY way to determine it? The display sure looks like it is Retina. I've tried checking the model number but shows its just a regular iPad 3rd gen.

Re: The new iPad or older gen?
The iPad3 has a display that's 2048x1536 pixels, 264 pixels/inch, and was marketed as a retina display. It is what it is... no variants exist that I know of... so if looking to sell/trade, you have an iPad circa 2012, aka 3rd generation. Reasonable buyers/traders will know what they're getting and not try and quibble about tech specs and want to tell you you've got something less than what you have.

The new iPad or older gen?
Easy way to tell, if it has Siri, it is an iPad 3 or 4 with a retina display. The iPad 2 is still sold but is labeled as an iPad 2 in the box also.
The new iPad or older gen?
Only one iPad 3 with retina no other versions ...
If it has a 30 pin charger it's a 3rd gen if its a lightning cable it's 4 gen both are retina
If it don't have Siri its a iPad 2
Sounds like guy on cl is one who needs help

The new iPad or older gen?
Okay I figured
Because I was trying to make an offer that we both agree on. At least 520ish since its in pristine condition, 64 GB, with screen pro on perfectly and including a ZAGG Folio and he asked for the serial number. And his response after a few minutes was
"It's not Retina LCD. It is regular 3rd Generation LCD. My offer will back to $400
Thanks for your time."
Seriously? I know the guy who sold It to me originally wasn't toying around with me and I know what I bought. Oh we'll, thanks for the answers, folks. Needed that extra confirmation to make sure I know what I'm selling and not mistaken.
- 12-29-2012, 10:08 PM Thread Author #8
The new iPad or older gen?
But with the responses I'm getting, looks like ill be keeping this mighty fine beast of an iPad. I'd love the Mini. The portability of it, lightness, even minus the retina which I don't mind one bit is egging me on, but that's only if I can find someone willing to either do an equal trade or to buy the 3 off me. But oh well, it's not needed but more of a choice. Thanks everybody!
Anyway, who did stick with their 3rd gen and held off on the 4 or the mini? Curious if I'd make a mistake in doing so for the Mini.

How do you bring the energy and excitement of Chicago into the headquarters of the NATO Alliance in Brussels, ahead of the NATO Summit in Chicago this May? That was our challenge this month at United States Mission to NATO.
First we sat down to think what captured the essence of Chicago, and we decided, architecture, music, and food. Perfect. Then we contacted the Chicago Board of Tourism and asked if they could help us. They could. This week, two United airlines flights arrived at Brussels Airport from Chicago carrying one hundred and thirty two authentic Chicago deep dish pizzas, plus cheesecakes, sausages, and eight other food items donated by Chicago restaurants, which we will serve this week to NATO delegations and staff. This week we're also constructing a display of videos and photos of famous Chicago skylines, buildings and tourist attractions in the middle of the NATO press lobby, so NATO staff can see what's awaiting them.
That isn't all. Chicago is also sending us an old blues legend, Lonnie Brooks and his Blues band, and a young but already famous chef, Stephanie Izard, a winner of the Top Chef TV program and owner of the Girl and the Goat restaurant in Chicago. They will both be performing their specialties this Thursday night at Truman Hall, the residence of the U.S. Ambassador to NATO, at a blues evening for NATO Ambassadors. Also coming are the Governor of Illinois, Pat Quinn, and the First Lady of Chicago, Amy Rule, the wife of Mayor Rahm Emmanuel, plus journalists and crews from the top Chicago newspapers and TV stations.
To top it off, we had another special visitor from Chicago this week, the Reverend Jesse Jackson, a legend of the American civil rights movement, who spoke to us of democracy and freedom, the values that NATO was created to defend. This is how we will bring the essence of Chicago and America to NATO headquarters this week.
To follow Chicago Week at NATO, look at:

Family Size Thai Red Curry
We spent several years searching everywhere, including Thailand, for someone to help create the perfect Thai meals for Amy's customers, but with no success. And then, serendipitously, we found Olarn who is part owner of a Thai restaurant right here in Santa Rosa where our plant is located. Olarn works in Amy's own Tech department. We immediately asked him to prepare some Thai dishes for us and he did. They were so delicious that we knew our customers would love them. This Red Thai Curry is Amy's dad's favorite. It has finely cut organic vegetables - sautéed onions, broccoli, carrots, tofu and delightfully sweet butternut squash swimming in an authentically spiced (but not too hot) smooth coconut milk-based curry sauce. Fragrant jasmine rice completes this meal that has no dairy and no wheat, and is absolutely delicious. Enjoy this Amy's family favorite.

Well, the fourth is weird anyway. :) I bought this for my eldest fat cat, but ended giving it twice a day to 3 of my cats, including the youngest one. Not sure what it contains that makes them crazy, it's enough to open the bag and they appear from nowhere, mouth open. Yes, the fat old one does jump more than before.

About Marine Rotifera
Rotifera represents a phylum of about 2000 species of microscopic aquatic animals, whose length ranges between 80 and 1000 μm. Marine rotifers occur in both plankton and benthos, where they may significantly contribute to the total biomass, and play a key role in the energy transfer process. In saltwater habitats there are more than 500 rotifer taxa at either specific, subspecific and infrasubspecific rank, corresponding to about 400 nominal species, which are 20% of the known rotifer species. A total of 37.0% of marine rotifers have been found in saltwater only and are considered stenohaline. Some other taxa (39%) are reported from both fresh- and saltwater habitats and are considered truly euryhaline. At least 24% are known from freshwater habitats, and found in saltwater only occasionally and sparsely ('haloxenous taxa'). Marine Rotifera aims to increase and improve the first complete source of information (from taxonomy to morphology and distribution) of all marine rotifers of the world.

Quinnipiac Earns First Win Over Providence, 16-9
from press release
SMITHFIELD, R.I. – The Quinnipiac men's lacrosse team was clicking on all cylinders Saturday afternoon, and dominated the turf to pick up its first win of the 2014 campaign. Behind a career-high eight-point outburst from Dylan Webster (Brampton, Ontario) and 19 saves in goal by Gill Conners (Saratoga Springs, N.Y.), the Bobcats overpowered Providence, 16-9, at the Bryant University Turf Complex in Smithfield, R.I.
Quinnipiac, now 1-1 on the season, combined extreme efficiency on offense with tough, hard-nose defense to earn the seven-goal triumph. The 16 goals were the most in a game since scoring 16 against Wagner back on April 30, 2011.
Webster was the offensive catalyst for Quinnipiac, netting career high six goals while assisting on two others for his eight points. The most impressive stat about the performance was scoring six goals on just seven shots in the game. Michael Sagl(West Islip, N.Y.) totaled four points at the strength of two goals and two assists, which extended his point streak to 20 straight games. Pat Corcoran (Stratford, Conn.) also scored twice and assisted on another for a three-point afternoon.
On the other side of the ball, the region's best goalie was in top form, and stifled the PC attack. Conners made 19 saves in the game – four in the first quarter, four in the second, eight in the third and three in the fourth. He allowed seven goals on 26 shots for a 73.1 save percentage. Jack Brust (Baltimore, Md.) finished the game in net by making four saves on the six shots he faced.
Providence scored the game's first goal, but Quinnipiac was quick to answer. QU rattled off five straight goals before the Friars would strike again. After that, the Bobcats scored nine straight before the end of the third quarter for a commanding 14-2 lead. Providence managed to capitalize on a couple QU penalties, but the game was never in jeopardy.
Time of possession was key to the Quinnipiac victory. The Bobcats controlled an 18-11 advantage on the faceoff – with Zach Vehar (Hudson, Ohio) winning 16 of his 26 attempts. Vehar also scored his first career point with a goal in the second stanza.
Henry Graves (Stamford, Conn.), Ryan Keenan (Oshawa, Ontario), Matt Diehl(Towson, Md.), Connor Meth (Basking Ridge, N.J.) and Evan Weldon (Westchester, Pa.) also scored for the Bobcats. Diehl and Tom Gilligan (Brookfield, Conn.) added a pair of assists.
Providence outshot Quinnipiac, 54-42, but had 23 of its 32 shots on goal turned aside. Two Friar goalies only combined to save six shots in the game. Quinnipiac was 2-for-4 on the man-up. PC was 4-for-8.
Providence, now 2-1 on the season, was led by two goals and two assists from Sean Wright. Quinnipiac improved to 8-5 all-time against the Friars.
Quinnipiac is back in action at Harvard University on Tuesday, March 4. Faceoff is set for 4 p.m. at the Ohiri Field in Cambridge, Mass.

@resistion: I am not sure I understood your comments, but I will try to comment below. Also, there will be lots more info at the upcoming IEEE S3S Conference. See you there.
Cost savings: Yup, any added degree of freedom will eventually approach an asymptote. But we have given designers /EDA another degree...lots to gain before the parabola starts winning. Also, why not mix layers? Two logic layers (for logic redundancy), then one or more memory (maybe NV), then two more logic. Cool on both sides if needed. Might be a trick to mitigate congestion and help heat.
Heat: The IEDM work ran both layers (substrate and monolithic 2nd layer) really hard and hot, and reasonable cooling was accomplished with the interlayer vias and power grids. The larger issue was getting a big enough heat sink capability...had to go to liquid cooling to get all the watts out of the stack. But it's even worse for 2D, as there are more C and R power losses to overcome with the longer wires; hence, more power to accomplish the calculaton/task. And I can't imagine that we are going to be able to immerse our mobile systems in chilled mineral oil, as the Japanese did with their winning supercomputer. Rather, mobile/battery designs will be by lower Vcc, smart power usage, parallelism, etc....

As I packed and organized to begin my trek back home to South Texas for the winter, I reflected on my first time as camp host at Arkansas Point, Lake Pueblo State Park.
The dedicated, enlightened, and cooperative rangers and workers I encountered made my maiden voyage into camp hosting delightful.
My experience on every level with the park rangers, staff, and special folks staying in the park; some regulars, some just passing through, has been a unique life adventure.
Each ranger, on staff or seasonal, plus general staff reached out professionally and in friendship in so many ways.
I truly believe Lake Pueblo State Park has a winning team.
Your area has a true "gem" in the attraction of Lake Pueblo State Park.
Each and every one of the small staff and group of rangers that successfully manage this valued state asset should truly receive a standing ovation.
They truly have my admiration.
Even my dogs, Cowboy and J-Bell, widened their horizons, befriended most, held out on a few, but also enjoyed the park and all it had to offer at their level.
Thank you to all at the park for one of my life's best adventures.

As the next-generation Windows Phone 7.5 "Mango" operating system comes closer, Microsoft Corp. begins to make predictions about its market prospects. Perhaps, the company is too optimistic, but it calls forecasts by market research companies too conservative and expects Windows Phone to command about 20% of the market in two to three years.
"Forecasts by researchers Gartner and IDC, which expects a market share of about 20% in 2015, are conservative," said Achim Berg, corporate vice president of Windows Phone marketing, reports Bloomberg news-agency.
The high-ranking executive at Microsoft expects popularity of Windows Phone 7/7.5 platform to grow extremely rapidly thanks to new features, lower prices and improved experience. At present Microsoft is working hard to promote Windows Phone among consumers and among other things it trains "hundreds" of salesmen globally to better demonstrate Windows Phone-based handsets.
"Microsoft plans to build on Windows Phone's initial success with female consumers as well as with young and first-time users to win market share. This is a completely new platform, it takes time. It took time with Android, it took time with Apple. We have to show that we're very capable and that we have the fastest and easiest phone," added Mr. Berg.

One of the problems that Windows Phone 7.5 "Mango" will face particularly in Europe, when it launches on October 1, 2011, are pretty high prices of the first handsets - HTC Titan and HTC Radar - for the women, the young and the first time users: Titan will cost €599 ($855), Radar will cost €399 ($569). HTC seems to remain optimistic.
"We're seeing an extremely positive response to the Windows Mobile system. We are now thinking that this year is a great time to get that momentum accelerated, to reach out to a broader group of customers," said Florian Seiche, , HTC's president for EMEA.
But while Microsoft seems to be bullish and even overoptimistic about market potential of Windows Phone, it seems that at present it is not really popular. Based on recent findings from Gartner market research firm, the share of Microsoft Windows Phone- and Windows Mobile-based smartphones decreased to 1.6% in Q2 2011, down from 4.9% a year before. In fact, WP and WM handsets are currently behind Samsung's proprietary Bada (1.9%), RIM's Blackberry (11.7%) and Apple's iOS (18.2%) despite of the fact that they are available from numerous vendors.

For many Roman Catholics, the liturgy of each Sunday's Mass is immutable. Last week, on the first Sunday of Advent, that idea was put to the test when the highly scripted and well-memorized ritual underwent some significant changes. The last modification to the Roman missal was made nearly four decades ago during the Second Vatican Council, one being that Mass was translated into the vernacular English from the Latin.
The greeting "The Lord be with you" is now acknowledged with "And with your spirit" rather than "And also with you." The Vatican argues that it more accurately reflects the Latin text of the Mass ("et cum spiritu tuo") and better acknowledges one's humanity. Some new non-colloquial vocabulary that students may soon see on the SAT makes its way into the Nicene Creed: "consubstantial with the Father" replaces "one Being with the Father." Another change is uttered before the sacrament of communion. It comes directly from the Gospel of Matthew, and places God in one's home. "Lord, I am not worthy to have you enter under my roof" replaces "Lord I am not worthy to receive you."
For many, the most recent transition attempts a closer and more faithful English translation of the Latin. Some tongues were tied, but most received the changes without much fanfare. Church officials say it will help Catholics come to a deeper appreciation of the Eucharist and the role of Mass for their faith. For all you Roman Catholics who are celebrating Mass on this second Sunday of Advent, we'd like to hear about your experience.
How did your family or parish prepare for the change in Mass before Sunday? In what ways do the updates to the liturgy enhance or detract from your experience of the ritual of Mass? Is this new translation more authentic or meaningful to you? Or do you long for the familiar?

FRITZ!Box 6840 LTE – Service - Knowledge Base
AVM Content
Setting up a VPN connection to FRITZ!Box in Apple OS iOS (e.g. iPhone)
VPN (Virtual Private Network) allows you to use the Internet connection of your Apple iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod touch) to establish secure network connections to your FRITZ!Box and the network devices and services in the FRITZ!Box home network.
In addition, whenever a VPN connection is active, all Internet queries are routed over the FRITZ!Box. As a result, you will have tap-proof und tamperproof access to all web services such as e-mail and online banking, even when using a public wireless hotspot with your iOS device.
Note:In this guide we show you how to configure a VPN connection to the FRITZ!Box using an iPhone 5 with iOS 9.2. If you have further questions on VPN connections in iOS, contact Apple directly.
Requirements / Restrictions
- iOS 3.1 or later is installed on the Apple device.
- The FRITZ!Box must obtain a public IPv4 address from the Internet service provider.
Important:Some of the settings described here are only displayed if the advanced view is enabled in the user interface. The configuration procedure and notes on functions given in this guide refer to the latest FRITZ!OS.
1 Preparations
Setting up MyFRITZ!
With MyFRITZ! you can even access your FRITZ!Box over the Internet at all times if its public IP address changes on a regular basis, for example after being automatically disconnected by your Internet service provider:
Note:If you already use a different dynamic DNS service, you can also use this service instead of MyFRITZ!.
Adjusting the FRITZ!Box's IP network
No VPN communication can occur if the iOS device has an IP address from the IP network of the FRITZ!Box. This is the case, for example, when the iOS device is connected to a FRITZ!Box over wireless LAN and the IP settings of the FRITZ!Boxes were not changed (IP address 192.168.178.1 in the factory settings). Therefore, adjust the IP network of the FRITZ!Box:
In this guide, the FRITZ!Box has the IP address 192.168.10.1 (subnet mask 255.255.255.0).
- Click "Home Network" in the FRITZ!Box user interface.
- Click "Home Network Overview" in the "Home Network" menu.
- Click on the "Network Settings" tab.
- Click the "IPv4 Addresses" button.
- Enter the desired IP address and subnet mask.
- Click "OK" to save the settings.
2 Setting up a VPN connection in the FRITZ!Box
In the FRITZ!Box, set up a different user for each VPN connection.
- Click "System" in the FRITZ!Box user interface.
- Click "FRITZ!Box Users" in the "System" menu.
- Click the (Edit) button for the user who intends to connect to the FRITZ!Box via VPN,
- or, if you have not configured any users yet:
- Click the "Add User" button and enter a name and password of your choice for the user in the corresponding fields.
- or, if you have not configured any users yet:
- Enable the option "VPN".
- Click "OK" to save the settings.
Now the FRITZ!Box sets up the VPN rights for this FRITZ!Box user.
A window displaying the VPN settings for the FRITZ!Box user will then open automatically.
Note:You can call up the window any time by clicking "Show VPN Settings" in the settings for the FRITZ!Box user.
3 Setting up a VPN connection in iOS
- Set up the VPN connection on the iPhone, iPad or iPod touch using the VPN settings displayed in the FRITZ!Box user interface for the FRITZ!Box user:
Note:You can access the VPN settings if you select "System > FRITZ!Box Users" in the user interface, call up the settings for the user, and click "Show VPN Settings".
Fig.: Setting up a VPN connection
4 Establishing a VPN connection
- Tap the "Settings" icon on the home screen of the Apple iOS device.
- Use the on/off slider to enable "VPN":

Isn't that supposed to be SHIP ?
Intel Corp. on Tuesday unveiled its new high-end microprocessor designed for gaming PCs as well as workstations. The fifth model in Intel's Core i7 lineup brings slightly faster performance compared to predecessor, but is still behind the "cream of the creams", the Intel Core i7 Extreme Edition.
Intel Core i7-960 chip features 4 cores with Hyper-Threading technology (thus, processors up to 8 threads at once), 8MB cache, 3.2GHz clock-speed, triple-channel DDR3 memory controller and is compatible with LGA1366 infrastructure. The new processor is made using 45nm process technology and will cost $562 in business quantities.
The new central processing unit will remain the fastest "non-extreme" Core i7 "Nehalem" processor in Intel's lineup for a while, hence, its price will remain quite high. Considering the fact that the launch of the new chip coincides with the release of Microsoft Windows 7, the novelty will still be quite popular among high-end PC makers.
Intel did not release any official statements on the matter. The company also did not slash prices of other advanced microprocessors.

Clymer murder details emerge
MAYVILLE – New de-tails in the shooting death of Clymer Central School Superintendent Keith Reed Jr. emerged Wednesday during a pre-trial hearing in Chautauqua County Court.
The hearings are connected to the upcoming fall trial of Anthony R. Taglianetti II, who was charged last year with second-degree murder.
Daniel Johnson, a senior investigator with the District Attorney's Office, testified that Taglianetti's wife, Mary, called police in the days after Reed's body was discovered Sept. 24 outside his residence.
In a conversation with Johnson and Chautauqua County Sheriff Joe Gerace, Mary Taglianetti said her husband discovered an affair between her and Reed that occurred "years earlier." Taglianetti allegedly found recent emails be-tween his wife and the sup-erintendent, Johnson said.
Mary Taglianetti told police her husband left at night on Sept. 20 and returned early Sept. 22.
Police believe Reed was killed at some point Sept. 21. His body was discovered by a sheriff's deputy with gunshots to the torso, Johnson told the court.
Taglianetti was found in his 2003 Buick sedan by Virginia authorities shortly after he was announced as a suspect. He was extradited to New York in December.
Phone records obtained through a search warrant showed Taglianetti's cellphone was in Chautauqua County at the time of the homicide. Email accounts and computers belonging to the Taglianettis were analyzed in Buffalo, Johnson said.
The search warrants used to seize the evidence were briefly questioned Wednesday by the County Public Defender's Office. The pre-trial hearings were requested by Public Defender Ned Barone, who said he had "issues" with the identification and evidence linking Taglianetti to Reed's homicide.
The Dale City, Va., resident was in court Wednesday and at times talked at length with his defense team. He has pleaded innocent to the murder charge.
Chautauqua County District Attorney David Foley said he could not openly discuss the pending trial, but said the identification and evidence hearings went as expected. "We have provided everything the judge has asked of us," he said.
Judge John T. Ward presided over the hearings, and gave Barone two weeks to file motions regarding evidence.
The trial is scheduled to begin Sept. 17.

Comments: Just received the racquet today and was a bit nervous still from switching from HEAD after two years.
I've played with the HEAD Youtek IG Speed MP and Graphene Speed Pro; excellent acceleration, pop, maneuverability and ground
strokes (especially flat shots). They just weren't arm friendly and stable enough. I decided to do my homework and check the
market out. The VCORE Tour really stood out to me because of the review by TW and the other players that have or are using it. It
was the ideal weight and size i was looking for. After a few hours of hitting, I'm higly impressed! It has tremendous pop, feel,
precision, very very arm friendly and solid. It feels light in my hand and is powerful enough to hit put-away shots at anytime the
moment is right. I love the top-spin and slice especially, TW was right on the money on it! It does indeed however leave a few
shots short if you don't have the proper shot selection, but technique will help that. I look very forward to playing more with this
racquet and to greatly improve my game! Thank you TW very very much!!
From: Joshua, 3/14
Comments: Phenomenal racquet! Switched from a Pro Staff 90 and never looked back. Plow through, feel, stability,
spin, and serves are just some of the highlights of this stick. I am a 4.5 all court player who strings with Cyclone at 51-53 lbs.
From: Mike, 2/14
Comments: Yonex makes quality sticks. This plays great with RPM Blast -- a full bed. Topspin and drive backhands
are outstanding as well as slice, which can be a nightmare to a player who hits topspin. Good power on serve. A stick worth trying
for any style game.
From: Marko, 2/14
Comments: I was recently playing with the 2011 Pure Storm, and wanted something with a bit more weight. This fit
the bill perfectly. I get lots of control and solid plowthrough. The cosmetics can't be beat, and I have so much more confidence
on my serves. I am excited to groove my game with this stick!
From: Jay, 9/13
Comments: I recently tried this as a demo racquet to compare it with my current 2010 Wilson BLX Six One 95. My
game is old style, flat shots with little topspin and continental grip on almost all shots and serves. I found that this racquet had
slightly less power (you can say almost similar) on my forehand and single handed backhand but serves were not as accurate. It
also had less feel and plough through compared to my 2010 Wilson BLX Six One 95. So I am going to stay with my current
racquet. Thanks to all the folks at TW for an excellent demo program.
From: Dushyant, 5/13
Comments: Not sure what to make of this racquet. I picked it up without a demo relying solely on the weight, swing
weight, beam thinness and head light features. I enjoy the plow through offered by heavier racquets and really enjoy my IG
Prestige Pro and the old Speed Pro. However, the 330g Yonex Vcore Tour 97 is a beast. It seems just oddly heavy without the
effortless plow through which a Speed Pro offers. It may take some time to get used to it and perhaps some lead tape to make it
even more head light. Overall, if you enjoy a heavy racquet with plow through which works on slices, serves, forehands, etc, you
may be better off investing in a Prestige Pro with a little lead added.
From: GS, 4/13
Comments: The VCore 97, in my opinion, is the only racquet on the market today that has no negative qualities to
it. My stick of choice for the past 15 years has been the Wilson Prostaff 85 and 90 series. I've been searching high and low for a
player's stick that offers the same precision with better power, spin and a friendlier sweet spot. That is not an easy thing to find. I
can honestly say that I found it in this racket. The Vcore 97 has the right blend of power to spin with scalpel like precision. If you
are a 4.5 or higher player with modern well developed strokes looking for the perfect players stick the Vcore tour 97 will
consistently provide the qualities needed to bring your game to a higher level .
From: Andre, 4/13
Comments: First, there must be a reason why the makers at Yonex decided to print "Ultimate" on this frame. I have
never seen this printed on any other of the many frames I have hit with over the years. Could this be the "Ultimate" frame ever
made? This is the type of racquet that can do it all. Topspin, slice, flat, chips, drops, lobs, finesse, and so on. You name it for your
game and it can do it. This is rare. This frame is also a pleasure to hit with just as much as a Fischer frame is. I'd imagine that a
touring pro could just pick this thing up without a modification and use it "as is" in stock form. They also wouldn't need to inject
silicone in the handle because the thing already hits like it. After you have played your best competitive tennis and there is no
more left have you ever asked "Why do I play this game?" Because with this frame you can play for the pleasure and joy of it. Just
because you love to hit the ball.
From: Bear, 4/13
Comments: I'm a 6.0 open player and full time coach (all court player). After searching high and low for the perfect
racquet and recently testing Head, Wilson, Dunlop, Babolot, and Donnay, I fortunately found the 97 (330). It is a very comfortable,
smooth, super stable, spin friendly, good-feel kind of frame. Made the switch easily and won't look back. A must try!
From: Anon, 3/13
Comments: I demo'ed the 330g and 310g versions. There is a big difference between them. The 310g I had to
move faster through the air to get the same result as with the 310. The 310 was also not as stable as 330. In conclusion, the 330
is the more solid frame with the ability to dictate the game. After my demo'ed I switched immediatly to the 330g!
From: Henri, 12/12
String type: Yonex polyester
Comments: To the Yonex Vcore Tour 97, I just have to say WOW! The plow through and control are amazing. With
this stick I can play the opponent with tactics and let him run with my topspin balls from one corner to other, and the best is
whenever I want, I can make the winner shot with this stick. I have played and tested different racquets, but this one is
outstanding. This racquet performs much better than all the Babolat, Prince and Wilson racquets together. Beacause of the weight
of the racquet, there are no vibrations on your arm, unlike the APD of Babloat. The feedback is also excellent, so that I can place
incredible drop shots from every position on the court.
From: Thomas, 12/12
String type and tension: polyester @ 57/59 lbs
Comments: Amazing racquet! I was using Head Prestige MP, had a little affair with Head Prestige Pro, came back to
the Prestige MP and then there was the Yonex VCore Tour 97. What a racquet! It was love at first glance, and if you're looking for
control, accuracy and heavy topspin in a rock solid racquet with impressive feel and uber comfort, look nowhere else. The 97T is
the best of the 2 Head racquets in one racquet with the square head, the sweetspot is 10 times bigger than either Head racquet,
with much better control. It's amazing, these square head racquets, I never played with Yonex before, but now I am an Yonex guy,
as this is really the best racquet I played with in my entire life. Do youself a favor and play with this racquet, if you are at least a
5.0. I am a 5.5, and I play leagues in 6.0 level (K-Swiss) and 5.0 USTA.

Comments: I had one week to choose between 4 racquets: Yonex VCore Tour 97, Wilson BLX 18x20,Head Prestige
IG MP and Dunlop Biomimetic 200. I have to say that of all these racquets this is clearly a winner in every department, the power
of this racquet is amazing with control and accuracy and spin all in one racquet. With the BLX, the sweetspot was really small, it
was harsh feeling and had no power. With the Prestige I found also a small sweetspot, excellent accuracy, good power but awful
topspin and it was a very slow racquet with this horrible feel, not completely hollow but not a stable racquet as well. The comfort
wasn't that great either. Dunlop Biomimetic 200 was by far the most weird racquet, beautiful but the head was so long it became a
slow, low powered, very tiny sweetspot, no topspin, great for flat hitting but that's it. It had a hollow feel with too much weight,
along with being surprisingly unstable. The Vcore 97 was a much better racquet overall. I really love the comfort, thin beam, just
a darn great racquet. I have already bought 3 and all of them weigh 333g with the same balance (very good quality control). The
only thing I found was at the net, it is not fast, but overall my choice.

Comments: This is an excellent racquet (the best there is) for a competitive players. I'm a satellite player (18 y.o),
coach, 6.0 NRTP, 2-handed backhand, with an aggressive all- court game, currently ranked 1000+ on ATP. The Yonex VCore Tour
97 is out of this this world! It's perfect, as it does anything and everything superbly well. I was offered sponsorship by several
companies where I teach, but chose the Yonex because of how great it is, by far much better than any other MP. I'm also a first
time Yonex user. For the 5.0 and above this a must! Impressive quality too, as I received 10 racquets with only 4g difference
between the lightest and heaviest.
From: L.K.
String type and tension: Yonex Poly Tour HS 1.30 @ 53lbs
Comments: We have this racquet in two versions with the same name. The difference is on the weight. One is 310g
and other is 330g (the one you analysed). Please, TW and customers, do the tests, and analyse the 310g too, because in Brazil it's
the only model we can buy here. Thanks a lot.
From: David, 10/12
Comments: After superior customer service provided by Tennis Warehouse's own Mike Marquez, I would
like to return the kindness by providing a review for this racquet. I currently use the Volkl PB10 Mid, although both
racquets are demanding physically, I wanted to switch to a racquet with more control and a larger headsize to offset
the shanking shots I have with the PB10 mid. I found the 97 Tour to have SUPERIOR control on the baseline with the
spin to keep the ball in. I felt the spin potential was slightly better than the PB10mid, but the driving ball/plow-through
are very similar! I loved this racquet at net because it had the same control I saw during groundstrokes. Where the
97tour racquet was noticeably weaker than the PB10mid were the serves. While the control was there to place the ball
where I want, I didn't feel that I was able to get as much topspin on my second serves and the weight of the 1st serves
were not as great as with the PB10mid. My friends noticed the difference in the improvement of my game while using
the 97 tour. They said my groundies had more spin and control, coupled with the stiffness rating of 64 added more
pop. The comfort level of the 97 tour was sublime. I am happy to say that I will be making the switch.

String type: Yonex Synthetic
Headsize: 97
NTRP Rating: 4.5
Comments: I just hit this frame for about 15 minutes the other night. I'm familiar with Yonex and
currently play the ti80. I also did an extensive play test (several hours) with the V-Core 98 about 8 months ago. Yonex
makes interesting stuff in my opinion. Anyway, this frame is maneuverable and balanced with really nice plow through.
I'd say it had improved plow through over the v-core 98.. The V-core 98 gave me a twinge of elbow trouble and hit
sort of "hollow" for me. By hollow I mean, the racket sounded like it was doing more than it was. This new frame gave
me better functional weight on the ball and I didn't get the sensation I was going to have that elbow issue with this 97"
frame. I favor heavy low power frames and my ti80 gives me better mass and slightly faster swing speed than this 97"
for whatever reason. Also, i prefer the ti80 because it gives me a bit more flex which translates into perhaps more feel
and ability to shape the ball. The 97" is more comfortable though. But, we're splitting hairs. I was impressed with this
frame. I liked it better than the v-core 98 and it's now on my list of frames I'll go to when the world runs out of ti80's.
From: Anon, 5/12
Comments: What a great surprise, this stick has excellent comfort and control, very
maneuverable in spite of its weight, probably as a result of the racquet balance.
Excellent spin production, I usually use multis, but demoed this with a poly string, and
no arm issues at all. Just ordered two, definitely worth to demo.

"Let me be straight with you. What I'd rather have is an airplane. We just had a third kid. I don't like flying commercial. I like to take my family to Hawaii. When I go east, I'd like to have pilots I know. "
Cheyenne II
The 1932 Piper Cub sold for $1,300 and embodied everything Bill Piper thought an airplane should be: affordable to own and operate, simple, rugged and fun to fly. You can land it in a short farm field, a small lake or a tiny patch of gravel in the middle of a river. For many a bush pilot today, the Piper Cub remains the ride of choice for these reasons. There's no drama here.
The same cannot be said for the company itself. It has been battered by multiple bankruptcies, fire, flood, hurricanes, questionable management from time to time and chronic undercapitalization. Most recently, Piper abandoned its plans to build a single-engine jet and laid off hundreds of workers because of that and weak overall demand for some of its products. The company still employs 700 and is holding distressed-debt talks with Florida governments that gave Piper millions to maintain minimum employment levels it can no longer afford. Never mind that Piper is currently owned by the oil-rich sultan of Brunei (technically, by that country's Ministry of Finance). The sultan reportedly expects his investments to make money and be self-supporting. Apparently a new $200 million jet-development program did not fit into that financial model.
Nevertheless, Piper has made some terrific airplanes over the years. As a neophyte pilot, I was amazed–and grateful–to discover just how much ice you can carry on the "Hershey Bar" wing of a single-engine Piper Cherokee.
Another fine Piper is the twin-turboprop Cheyenne, particularly the Cheyenne II. These models are great because they hold true to Bill Piper's philosophy of what an airplane should be. Like the lowly J-3 Cub with its 40-horsepower engine, the Cheyenne is simple and affordable. It uses the same basic fuselage "M Class" cross section, albeit at different lengths, that Piper has employed on all its cabin-class twins and pressurized singles, pistons and turbines, since the mid-1960s: Navajos, Chieftains, Cheyennes, Malibus, Matrices, Mirages and Meridians. Piper Aircraft designed the twin- turboprop PA-31T Cheyenne to go head-to-head with Beechcraft's ubiquitous King Air 90. And on paper, it looked like a winner: cheaper and faster than the Beech, the Cheyenne was also easier to maintain.
"This is the most inexpensive twin turboprop in the world to operate as far as I am concerned," said Mike Gick of Lafayette Aviation in West Lafayette, Ind. Gick has been working on Cheyennes since 1975 and currently maintains nine customer aircraft. "Anybody can work on them. They are so simple." Gick added that, compared with the King Air, the Cheyenne has fewer life-limited parts or parts with metals, such as magnesium, that are prone to corrosion.
However, the Piper is not a panacea. Its fuselage is narrower than the King Air's. Getting into a Cheyenne isn't quite like doing a limbo dance, but with a full load the quarters can get a little tight. Of course, most operators don't regularly fly the airplane with anywhere near full seats. (With full fuel, a Cheyenne II has an available payload of only 591 pounds.) But this is not the ride of choice for a claustrophobe. There is seating for five passengers (if you count the belted potty in the back, opposite the air-stair door) and two pilots. The main cabin incorporates four facing single seats in club configuration and a pair of foldout tables that deploy from the sidewall. Overall cabin space is a sparse 151 cubic feet–about what you'd find in a very light jet such as an Eclipse or a Cessna Citation Mustang. Baggage space is pitiful–22 cubic feet behind the cabin cargo net and another 20 in the nose. This is not the airplane for a clothes horse with wardrobe in tow.
The airplane comfortably operates out of short, 2,000-foot-long runways and can be flown quite competently by a single pilot. (Most of them are operating this way.) Range with seats full is 720 nautical miles and the maximum cruising speed is 243 knots. You can easily bag another 17 to 20 knots out of the airplane if it has the American Aviation (Hailey, Idaho) cowl/ram air and speed (exhaust) stack aftermarket kits. About half of all the Cheyenne IIs and IIXLs already have them, according to American vice president Jim Christy.
Seriously consider these options. First, they just look cool. The cowl kit pushes the intake closer to the prop and gives the airplane more of a raked, menacing appearance. They also serve an important purpose by increasing the head pressure of the air "rammed" into the engine's compressor. You get more power at lower engine temperature, which means you can maintain takeoff power to a higher altitude–say 20,000 feet as opposed to 15,000. You can also climb to a higher cruise altitude, about 27,000 versus 24,000. The stacks not only cut aerodynamic drag, they keep engine soot off the wings. You can add both options for about $50,000.
Refitting the Pratt & Whitney PT6A Dash 28 engines with Dash 135 engines at overhaul will turn a II into a real screamer, giving it a top speed of 280 knots, but this is a pricey proposition–about $600,000 and your old engines. The Dash 135s also deliver more power to higher altitude. They are standard on the Cheyenne IIXL, a two-foot-longer version of the II. Piper built only 81 IIXLs. Forty-six remain on the FAA registry, and they sell for a premium of between $250,000 and $500,000 over the price of a straight Cheyenne II. A stock IIXL will cruise at approximately 275 knots.
The decision to convert a Cheyenne II to Dash 135 engines can be a difficult and vexing one, but generally makes sense only if you plan on holding onto the airplane for some time, said Mike Shafer, president of Mercury Aircraft Sales in Sarasota, one of the most prolific resellers of Cheyennes. Shafer estimated that roughly 10 percent of the 228 Cheyenne IIs on the FAA registry have been converted to Dash 135 power.
"From a performance standpoint, what you get out of that conversion is tremendous," he said. But it is more than double the $250,000 cost of just overhauling the stock Dash 28s on the airplane. Given that you can get a really nice Cheyenne II for $500,000 and that most owners fly them less than 300 hours per year, the conversion is unlikely to pay for itself over the time you own the airplane.
However, there are other upgrades that make sense for just about any buyer. They include replacing the stock M4D autopilot with a King KFC300. The KFC300 is smoother and has more features. Many owners also have opted to refresh their avionics with a Garmin GPS/com stack that includes satellite weather. Together, the autopilot and the Garmin stack run around $50,000. Paint and interior on an airplane of this vintage also is usually a good idea and that can cost another $60,000.
There's one more thing you may read about this airplane. The Cheyenne II (but not the IIXL) was fitted with something called a "stability augmentation system" (SAS) because of concerns about the aircraft longitudinal stability when it was loaded too heavily toward the aft limit for the center of gravity. If you balance the load per the flight manual, the SAS never comes into play. Modifications made to the SAS over the years have corrected past problems with it.
Compared with the now 48-year-old King Air 90 series, the Cheyenne II and the IIXL were short-lived. Over a decade, Piper built 607 combined. Frequent ownership changes and bankruptcy at Piper led to erratic production, marketing and product support and the model never gained real traction. By 1984 the "twos" were out of production.
Even though Cheyennes are getting a little long in the tooth, most airframes out there are relatively low-time. Gick said he never has problems getting parts for the airplane, either directly from Piper or from a well-established network of aftermarket providers. The Cheyenne's relative lack of popularity means it can be had at bargain prices. "It's the best bang for the buck," said Mike Shafer.
Your Letters
What our readers had to say
Just a note to compliment you on your Cheyenne II article [Used Turboprop Review: Piper Cheyenne II, April/May 2012].
As a former 20-year Piper factory guy, I agree that the original PA31T is/was the best-overall-value model of the Cheyenne family. It survived the early SAS [stability augmentation system] bad rap and has withstood the all-important Aviation Test of Time, even though it's been out of production for so long. The 31T2XL is/was my other favorite, but its production run was way too short.
Great field-service folks were key to the Cheyenne II's early success.
Douglas H. Smith (via email)
Mark Huber wrote a decent article about the Cheyenne II, but his research came up short. Production was stopped on the Cheyenne I, II and IIXL when the plant in Lock Haven [Pa.] was shut down. The Cheyenne III was always built in the Lakeland, Fla. plant. This occurred well before ownership changes and bankruptcy were factors in Piper decision making. I was a Cheyenne marketing manager and sales demonstration pilot during the Cheyenne years and our competition was always the King Air 200.
Huber is correct that the II was a fine airplane.
Bob Brewer (via BJTonline.com)
Charles Lindbergh said, "The question is not how short a runway an aircraft can use, but how long it needs to be in order to operate safely." A Cheyenne II cannot comfortably operate from 2,000-foot runways. On landing, with a 50-foot threshold crossing height and 3-degree descent path, touchdown occurs 1,000 feet from the threshold, leaving 1,000 feet for stopping. On takeoff, 2,000 feet is nowhere near enough for accelerate stop or accelerate go.
I grant that it is physically possible for a Cheyenne II to use a 2,000-foot runway on a nice day, and that the Cheyenne II is not subject to the stringent runway requirement of jets, but your readers deserve better advice.
Daniel Herr (Murray Hill, N.J.)
Mark Huber replies: Regarding Brewer's comments, never in my article do I mention where the Cheyenne II was manufactured, nor do I ascribe the end of its production to corporate bankruptcy. The Lock Haven plant and Cheyenne II production were both shut down in 1984 and the company's dismal finances played a big part in the decisions to take those actions. At the time, Piper was owned by conglomerate Lear Siegler and was losing buckets of money–$90 million between 1984 and 1985 alone. Lear was subsequently sold to investment bank Forstmann Little, which promptly sold Piper to what turned out to be an undercapitalized entity. Piper made numerous missteps during this period and Brewer alludes to one of them: marketing the Cheyenne II as direct competition to the King Air 200. The 200 was bigger and faster than the II and, to use an automotive analogy, saying the two aircraft are competitive is a little like trying to steer a BMW 3 series customer into a Fiat 500.
As to Herr's comments about landing distance, several Piper owners told me that they operated in and out of 2,000-foot strips at minimum weights. Now, is this a wise thing to do? Probably not. We printed the book numbers with the Conklin & de Decker data. From now on, I will stick with that.
you're stuck with the M4D in a Cheyenne II; Bendix/King does not own the STC for the KFC 300 (Piper does) therefore an upgrade kit was never made available. You could go with a Century 41 (!) or several years ago the Meggitt/S-Tec 2100 (but you were required to include the now-defunct Magic EFIS system). Choose wisely!!!

Implications for practice and research
▪ Telemedicine applications are becoming more common for the delivery of specialist care, patient monitoring, education and support, though the uptake has been slow and fragmented.
▪ Telemedicine may have the potential to reduce mortality and length of stay (LOS) for patients in the intensive care unit (ICU).
▪ More controlled studies in telemedicine are required to determine clinical and cost-effectiveness.
Telemedicine is gaining momentum as a potentially valuable method of delivering clinical expertise and sharing health-related information between locations. The value of telemedicine is likely to be greater in rural and remote regions, where specialists are in short supply or not present. Telephone advice is one of the more ubiquitous forms of telemedicine; however, the use of videoconferencing allows for real-time viewing of patients, medical equipment, monitors and x-rays – thus simulating an 'in the room' experience. In the context of critical care telemedicine, where …

Baby we're ready to go
Alpena Community College volleyball co-head coaches John Dietlin and Sara Parsons have reason to be excited when they look at this year's roster.
With a solid mix of experience, talent and height, the Lumberjacks have the chance to be competitive in the MCCAA Eastern Conference this season.
The only thing that's missing is tangible results of their hard work.
"Until we start getting banners up on the wall, it's never going to be where we want it to be, but we've moving forward," Dietlin said. "This is probably one of our better talented groups that we've brought here so far. We recruited to our weaknesses that we had last year, built upon our strengths and have everybody filling the roles we need them to fill."
ACC will begin its season at Oakland in the Block City Invitational. The Lumberjacks will play Muskegon to open the season at 11:45 a.m.
After earning a spot in the district tournament last year, Alpena enters the season with a roster full of fast, agile players and a lot of height. Of the 11 players on the roster, six of them are at least 5-10, giving the Lumberjacks a formidable rotation of players up front.
Dietlin and Parsons are in their third year together at the head of ACC's program and have noticed a growth in the overall talent of the players they're coaching, which should bode well for the program in the future.
"The first week of practice, we were so much farther than we were last year so it's going to nice to play on Saturday and everyone's going to think we aren't anything. To shock people would be a great feeling," Parsons said.
Among the key returnees is 5-11 sophomore outside hitter Whitney Frazier, who was an all-conference honorable mention last season. She'll bookend one end of ACC's front row with freshman Mary Myers taking the other outside spot. In the middle, 5-11 sophomore Danielle Krupp will play alongside freshmen Sandy Bischoff and Karley Pearsall and Tiffany Nickert. Bischoff and Pearsall are both 5-11.
In the back row, sophomore Courtney Holmes will anchor the line at libero and will be joined by returning defensive specialist Amanda Williams and setter Brittany Bell. Freshmen Emily Gonyer and Paige Vallier will also see time in the back row.
The Lumberjacks may have the ability for a lot of offensive firepower up front, but Dietlin is hoping a strong defensive game can lead to more offensive opportunities. One area of concern last season was transitioning from defense to offense and the team has worked on improving its passing.
"The biggest key in volleyball is setting the pace. I think with our hitting ability and our transitioning and defense, we're going to be much better offensively because of that," Dietlin said. "Our hitting has really come together since the beginning of the year, now it's just a matter of putting those little intrigue steps together to see the bigger whole."
All but one of the players on ACC's roster this season is from northern Michigan and another spot in the district tournament and some more wins this season could prove very beneficial for the Lumberjacks as Dietlin and Parsons work to bring talented players to Alpena.
"Ideally we'd like to be the destination for all the talented players in Northern Michigan; east, west and the U.P and bring them here," Dietlin said. "This school has a lot to offer academically and once we start getting to where we want to be athletically, I think you'll really see the program take off and get to the heights that we know we can achieve."

"Data-driven" schools need teachers who know how to use information on students' learning to improve teaching, writes June Kronholz on Ed Next. Some schools hire Achievement Network (ANet) to teach teachers how to use data.
During the data meeting, teachers pored over a form called an "item analysis template"—downloaded from the ANet web site—that forced them to think through the test questions that had given their kids the most grief. "What were the misconceptions" that led so many students to choose the wrong answer, the form asked them to consider. What groups of students missed the answer? What did students need to know to get it right?
Next, they worked through a "reteach action plan," also downloaded from ANet. How was the lesson taught originally, the form asked. How and when would it be retaught, and to whom—the whole class, a small group, individual children?
After reteaching, teachers give a short quiz to see if the new lesson was effective. Then they discuss the results.
Schools in ANet's network model their teaching practices to other schools, asking teachers, principals and instructional coaches "to help one another figure out how to reteach a troublesome lesson," Kronholz writes.
There's lots of detail in the story on how this works.
Few teacher education programs prepare future teachers to use assessments to improve instruction, concludes the National Council on Teacher Quality in a new report. Only three percent of programs surveyed adequately prepare future teachers to use performance data to improve instruction, the report concluded. Another 24 percent were rated "partially adequate." One program out of 180 "prepares candidates to work collaboratively to dissect, describe, and display data that emerge from both in-class and standardized assessments."
