Chapter 191 Reviews
I stared at him. Why is he loosing hope!?
I sat in the kitchen, drinking a cup of hot coffee. There was nothing else to do. Nothing to say. Frank looked like he still held hope I knew that just an act. I, although I didn't want to, had almost given up all hope. His coughing fits were as bad as ever. I felt like I was losing my family. All over again.
I felt sick at the thought. I wanted to talk to someone about all this, but if I spoke to Frankie he'd burst out crying and I didn't feel close enough to his dad yet to speak to him about it.
I took a sip of my coffee. God, did I want a smoke! The thought of the sweet, sweet nicotine running through my vains was so strong and wonderful I shook slightly. Looks like cigs are my turn on…
I finished my coffee and placed the cup in the sink, before going to the hall. I took my leather jacket of the hook and began to rummage around in the pockets. I found my love. I put my coat back on the hook, and headed for the back garden. I lit the fag before stepping out side.
As I stepping out side, I looked about.
Then I saw him. Frankie.
"FRANK! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?", I cried.
I felt my eyes fill with tears as I saw the dreaded sight. Frank stood, leant against the wall, smoking and bleeding.
It wasn't a huge cut, just on the back of his hand, but it was big and deep enough for a lot of blood. Too much blood.
After such a long time of cutting my self, I was fully aware of how to tell a accidental cut from one done on purpose. I knew this one from the second I saw it...
"STOP IT FRANK!", I yelled.
I ran over to him and ripped the cancer-bringing stick out his mouth.
"WHAT GERARD? DON'T YOU SEE? THE OPERATION'S NOT WORKED! THE CANCERS STILL HERE!", he yelled back.
"Frank... you don't know that..."
"Yes I do. We all do! I can't be saved! I'm dying!", he yelled before pushing past me and going back into the house.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Me and Frank sat at other sides of the sofa. Both curled up in our corners. Frank's dad had left for work early that morning, so we were the only people in the house.
I couldn't look at him. How could he?
How could he cut? ... and hurt him self.
How could he smoke? ... and make things worse.
"How could you?", I mumbled. It was hard to speak, I was hurt so much.
"I don't know... F-for a second, Gee, I was just mad. Mad and sad. Sad and lost...", he said, no emotion in his voice, his eyes big and staring past me.
"So you've given up?" I asked him
"What?" Given up on what? Cigarettes?"
"On all this! On getting better...", I drifted off, getting quieter and quieter as I spoke.
"I don't know!", He sighed. "No. I just lost it for a minute" He said firmly, "Gerard... I might as well be dead, the survival rates just 15%…"
I stared at him. Why is he loosing hope!?
"Frank, no! No! Shut up! I ruined my life for you and you're just giving up! I'm suppose to be your boyfriend! We're supposed to be together in this!" I yelled, before making a dash up to the door.
I ran to the front door and sat on the front step. I didn't sob, I didn't scream, I didn't move, I didn't think. I sat there, still, as if I was dead...

Got news? TELL US...

Some handy tips for small business owners, PR professionals, and those simply needing help in developing a professional, effective press release. These tips from PRbuzz are helpful and bang on...
The whole writing process starts with the headline. The headline is a single sentence statement that announces what the news is. Companies, organizations or individuals have thousands of opportunities to announce news. A company's news can be a new product or service, new feature, new website, new office location, new employee, new award... The headline should be 100 characters or less including spaces.
The body of the press release expands on the "Who, What, When, Where, How and Why" of the announcement or news. The details in a press release should be limited to the "facts" about the announcement or news. Opinion, fluff or hype is not appropriate. Statements about how the product or service is the most amazing innovation ever invented should not be included. It is important that readers form this opinion by themselves by reading the details (facts) in the press release.
1. Press releases should always be written in third person.
2. Press releases must be written with the "journalist" or "media outlet" as the audience. Never write a press release as if you are trying to sell to the reader. Press releases that resemble a sales letter are considered to be "press release spam" and will create more harm than good. Remember that the purpose of your press release is to announce your news, not sell.
3. Always include plenty of contact info. A contact name, email address, phone and at least three links to your web site should be included in every press release.
4. Company background info is very valuable. This is usually done by including a section at the bottom of the press release just before the contact info titled "About XYZ Company or Organization"
5. Send a new press release at least once a month. With the huge amount of information on the internet, news is forgotten quickly. Some organizations even send a new press release every day. It is important to constantly come up with new and interesting news to announce to the public. Writers can find ideas for new press releases by reading the thousands of press releases at prbuzz.com.
6. It is important for a press release to be new, interesting, unique and exciting. Only the most interesting press releases get noticed.
7. Keep your press release short and simple. 250 to 500 words is best.
8. Add ### at the bottom of each press release to signify the end.
Source: PRbuzz
Additional Tips:
Provide your PR via email to online journalists and be sure to include a plain TXT format inside the email, provide a link to the press release on the company website (or PR wire). It's always helpful to end with a suggested tweet that is clear, uses a bit.ly (or short link) and is under 140 characters in length.

Cross-listed bonds and rating conservatism
Atılgan, Yiğit and Ghosh, Aloke and Zhang, Jieying (2010) Cross-listed bonds and rating conservatism. (Submitted)
In this paper we investigate rating conservatism in the setting of cross-listed bonds. We hypothesize that ratings agencies are more conservative when rating cross-listed bonds, because greater information asymmetry and greater reliance on ratings for investment decisions and debt contracting makes their loss function more asymmetric. Consistent with our expectation, we nd that cross-listed bonds have lower initial ratings, are less likely to be upgraded and take longer to be upgraded compared to the U.S. domestic bonds with similar issuer and issue characteristics. To di¤erentiate between the conservatism and private information explanation, we rely on three distinct tests. First, we show that the lower rating is concentrated among investment grade bonds, consistent with rating agencies being more conservative when reputation cost is higher. Second, we provide evidence that the ratings of cross-listed bonds are less likely to miss default and more likely to give false warnings, lending direct support to rating conservatism. Lastly, we document that the bond market corrects for the lower rating by assigning a lower spread for foreign bonds, further suggesting that rating conservatism explanation is more plausible.

It was great!! Fixed for my best friends who cook alot and they went crazy. My question for anyone that can help me are all "pepperocinis" pickled? I kept trying to find "pickled pepperocinis" and when I found the regular ones was hesitant to use them - turned out great so I guess that it was "pickled' meant!
Antipasto Bowl
rutherann Posted: 01/08/10
JonniDee Posted: 02/10/11
I made this for Super Bowl and then forgot to put it out. So I had a HUGE salad to eat this week. It was SO good, and only got better each day. Day 4 was even better than day 1. It's the perfect salad to make at the start of a workweek for lunches. In lunch portions, it really only served about 4. Yum!
sirrah231 Posted: 06/25/09
Really easy to put together, especially if you make the vinaigrette ahead. Served this to my book club as part of an Italian-themed menu, and it was a big hit.
Chanson Posted: 06/17/09
I made this for a girlfriends surprise b-day party and it was a big hit! Very healthy and what a way to get your veggies in for the day! I'd recommend this for an appetizer & sidedish to any summer meal!
tkirkland Posted: 12/09/09
Healthy and delicious! I served it at a holiday party - not quite the summer gathering I suppose it was intended for - and it was still a hit. The recipe is very modifiable - just throw in whatever veggies you feel like eating. I used asparagus, Spanish olives, red bell pepper, grape tomatoes, and mozzarella. I'll definitely make it again.
try2bhealthy Posted: 12/25/10
This is an AMAZING dish! I make it for practically every get-together, no matter what time of year! Always a huge hit and absolutely beautiful to present! I love that it is so easy, and can go from chilled to room temp. Can sit out as part of buffet for several hours. So low maintenance!

Imagine the view from your front porch is a rolling, open field and then learning 800 homes will be built on that land! That's becoming a reality for some people who live in Putnam County. This week commissioners approved re-zoning plans for a new upscale housing development in Scott Depot.
We learned more about the hundred acres that will soon have a very different landscape. Its farmland right now a site neighbors enjoy but soon enough construction is expected to begin.
When word came of the new development, Steve Young had one thought. "We're in trouble."
He still feels that way with more than 500 apartments, 100 condos, nearly 200 townhouses and even single family homes coming. He sees a traffic nightmare. Others aren't completely opposed.
David Harper, Scott Depot says, "if it's done in the right way and done correctly and the flood system is considered and they do the roads and the lights I'm not really totally against it, it's more tax money for the county."
Some question the need for that many homes but Commissioner Jim Caruthers points to the fact that the project will be spread out over 10-12 years.
Putnam County Commissioners Jim Caruthers tells us, "now if they were going to be ready tomorrow it would be a tremendous impact. The way they're doing this is very well planned out."
Many neighbors who live along Hedrick Road agree growth is inevitable, they say their biggest issue with this new development is the traffic. The main entrance will be right here across the street from their homes.
Steve Young, who has lived in the area since 1999 says, "I don't care what they do with the property, my concern is how it affects me and if it's going to be a total impact to me getting in and out of our property."
The developer is Cathcart Properties out of Virginia. There is still one more step before they can break ground. The developer will have to give the county a final development plan. That will include details about things like water drainage. Commissioners say Cathcart has been looking to develop in Teays Valley for the last four years.

AMG Review
Lucia Bozzola
A sex comedy crossed with social satire, Shampoo (1975) is a vital 1970s Hollywood work. Co-written by top '70s screenwriter Robert Towne and star/producer/avowed Democrat Warren Beatty, Shampoo's witty examination of the Los Angeles rich and lustful eulogizes the 1960s hedonism brought low by the Richard Nixon years, while Nixon's 1974 Watergate demise adds an extra unspoken bite to the proceedings. Along with the politics, Beatty tweaks his own Lothario image as the popular ladies' man hairdresser who may have lots of hair, but not lots of brains. Beatty's beautifully dim George may be what Julie Christie, Goldie Hawn, Lee Grant, and a comically precocious Carrie Fisher want, yet he and his orgy-attending milieu should never underestimate the power of Jack Warden's Lester and his Rolls. Directed with a low-key gift for humor and sensitivity by estimable '70s filmmaker Hal Ashby, Shampoo spreads the blame equally without over-judging the characters' weaknesses. Proving his mastery of the zeitgeist once again, Beatty scored his second enormous box-office success as a producer-star, and earned his first Oscar nomination for writing; Shampoo went on to become one of the top hits of 1975. ~ Lucia Bozzola, Rovi

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - In the continuing battle over how California will cope with historic drought, an appeals court on Thursday sided with environmentalists over growers and upheld federal guidelines that limit water diversions in order to protect Delta smelt.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that a lower court should not have overturned recommendations that the state reduce exports of water from north to south California. The reduced exports leave more water in the Sacramento Delta for the finger-sized fish and have been blamed for exacerbating the effects of drought for humans.
The water-fish debate is a national political issue, and reaction from both sides was swift. In a blog post, Damien Schiff, an attorney for growers, said the ruling "bodes ill for farmers, farm laborers and millions of other Californians dependent on a reliable water supply."
Efforts to save the Delta smelt, which lives only in the wetlands stretching north of San Francisco, have been described as a humans versus fish battle.
Kate Poole, a senior attorney for the Natural Resources Defense Council, said growers' hopes of taking more water out of the Delta wouldn't solve California's problems.
"It's the drought, not the Delta, that's affecting the water supply this year," Poole said in a statement. "While we can't make it rain, we can take charge of our water use by investing in smart water practices that protect and preserve our water supply."
At issue is a 2008 report by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which concluded that the fish's existence was threatened and recommended limited exports of water to farmers and southern California. Farmers and allies sued, and a lower court called the federal biological opinion "arbitrary and capricious."
However, in the opinion on Thursday, 9th Circuit Judge Jay Bybee ruled that the lower court should have been more deferential to the Fish and Wildlife Service.
Bybee, an appointee of President George W. Bush, is considered a consistent conservative voice on the 9th Circuit.
"We recognize the enormous practical implications of this decision," Bybee wrote. "But the consequences were prescribed when Congress determined that 'these species of fish, wildlife, and plants are of esthetic, ecological, educational, historical, recreational, and scientific value to the Nation and its people.'"
A spokesman for the U.S. Department of Justice, which represented wildlife regulators, said it was pleased with the ruling.
The case in the 9th Circuit is San Luis & Delta-Mendota Water Authority et al. vs. Sally Jewell et al., 11-15871.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
The first step is the hardest.
Not only do you have to say "How can I improve?" but you have to say "yes, I can improve".
No, meters aren't everything for healers. They can tell you a lot of useful information, and they are an effective comparison if you control for gear, class, and spec. In other words, if a Holy Priest with similar (or worse) gear is doing much better than you at the same job on the meters, you might want to take another look at your play.
You can't say "well, if people didn't die, I did my job" because you *can* still improve, which means when you run into the next (harder) encounter, people still won't die. Find logs or players you can compare to. The moment you stop trying to improve is the moment you start getting worse.
You can't say "well, Druids just are OP on the meters". You need to say "that druid is healing really great, is there any way I can come close or match him?" Or at least "well, last week I did this much, lets see if I can do more". You run into this a lot in Arenas. Its really easy to say "well, so and so class and comp is completely overpowered, therefore its not me that needs to improve my play, Blizzard just needs to buff/nerf". When you say that, you are in a logical fallacy. No matter what class/spec you play, there are players out there who are better than you. Do they have better gear? Perhaps they earned it. If you're so uber, why don't you have their gear? No, its not your comp, there's more than likely another team running your comp out there that is doing better than you are.
9 times out of 10, its not your comp, its not your class, your spec, or your gear (especially when we're talking healers) - remember how those guys downed Yogg while wearing blues? The moment you start looking for excuses for your poor performance, you are selling yourself short.
So, the very first thing you should do after every encounter, even if it was a kill, is say: "Great! Now, how can I improve?" When you can't come up with an answer, that's when there's a problem.
Everyone points to the guys who killed Yogg in blues, but keep in mind it was mostly 200 level blues enchanted etc and far more key - they wiped a TON. Like 20 times. They did it and that's very impressive, but they pretty much had to execute PERFECTLY. That's all fine if you want to do that, but a lot of us aren't out to stress ourselves about doing 1% more DPS - 4500 is OK, 4545 won't usually matter. Yes, it will on 1% wipes and cutting edge stuff... but we're not all doing that.
"So, the very first thing you should do after every encounter, even if it was a kill, is say: "Great! Now, how can I improve?" When you can't come up with an answer, that's when there's a problem."
Depends how serious you are. I take the game seriously in the sense that I want to do well and help the raid suceed so I gear up, grab badge stuff, epic gems, learn my class... but you know what? When we down a new boss we enjoy that fact, we don't immediately go "nice. Now what can we do better?" Oh, we'll look over the WOL logs and see if there's stuff that could have gone better the next day, esp if it's a sloppy kill or whatever, but dammit... it IS a game.
Just want to say that when Ulduar came out, many guilds wiped on Yogg. My guild got to him the first week, then spent 20 hours wiping on him. We would have been in full 213 gear. The fight required perfect execution back then as well and my guild only had a few good dps so the rest of them might as well have been in blues. Killing Yogg in blues certainly makes a point that skill>gear but that is the case for most progression guilds. Look at the guilds who killed Lich King last week - do you not think that required perfect execution? What about vodka clearing all the heroic nonattempt bosses that many people are going to be stuck on for weeks? Skill sets those players apart from everyone else.

Was the Blue Ribbon commission's clearance of so many APS schools in APS CRCT cheating probe authentic?
An AJC story today suggests expediency played a larger role than evidence in the commission's focus on 12 schools with the worse profiles.
One of the problems now is that the commission received no admissions of cheating, although it found overwhelming and irrefutable statistical evidence of widespread cheating at 12 schools. (Even at those schools, there were some classrooms with no cheating, which makes me wonder about the dynamic at those schools when the honest teachers kept wondering why their colleagues down the hall had such great scores and yet their students didn't seem any better prepared. I have talked to one such teacher and she said she could never understand how her peers got such results.)
I will be interested to see how APS handles the teachers and administrators — and there were many more teachers referred by the commission for sanctions than administrators, suggesting this was a classroom to classroom practice rather than a schoolwide practice. If nobody is owning up to the test sheet cheating, what happens now?
In other states with cheating probes, few people lose their jobs for this reason: Knowing cheating went on is one thing; Pinpointing who cheated is another and far more difficult to prove.
Seventeen schools suspected of some of the most widespread cheating were barely investigated and, consequently, avoided recommendations for sanctions. Another 14 schools where state officials voiced a moderate concern about cheating received similar treatment. The investigators disregarded testing irregularities in hundreds of Atlanta classrooms.
A commission that studied questionable gains on the 2009 Criterion-Referenced Competency Test, or CRCT, reported this week that alleged cheating seemed to permeate just 12 Atlanta schools, rather than the 58 — more than half the schools in the district — state officials flagged last winter.
The commission recommended possible disciplinary action against 109 Atlanta Public Schools employees.
Commission members defend their work. They say they focused mostly on schools highlighted in a statistical analysis performed by a consulting firm they hired.
But a review of the commission's report and interviews with education officials and testing experts suggest that the investigation fell far short of unearthing the scope of a cheating scandal that calls into doubt a decade of higher test scores and other academic progress by Atlanta students.
"Our expectation was all 58 [schools] would be rigorously and thoroughly investigated," said Kathleen Mathers, executive director of the Governor's Office of Student Achievement, which is overseeing the state's review. The investigation should have continued, Mathers said, "until you've cleaned up the problem."
In particular, the Atlanta commission did little to investigate 17 of the 43 schools where state officials had found excessive erasures on test papers in 25 percent to 51 percent of classrooms.
At Deerwood Academy, for instance, the state flagged almost half of 90 classrooms. The Atlanta commission's investigators noted unusual numbers of erasures and 100 percent pass rates on two tests given by one teacher. But the investigators interviewed just four people at Deerwood, cleared the entire staff and submitted a report that omitted the fact that an earlier investigation found strong evidence of cheating on a CRCT retest there in the summer of 2008.
At other schools, investigators spoke to as few as two staff members. In the case of one recently closed school, they spoke to none.
Even strong statistical suggestions of cheating and specific allegations did not prompt additional inquiries.
At Humphries Elementary, for example, where the state had flagged nearly half the classrooms for examination, a staff member told investigators that CRCT administrators "cleaned up" test papers in the school auditorium. Yet investigators spoke to only three people at Humphries and reported no educators for possible transgressions.
Scrutiny of Atlanta's scores on the CRCT, a key indicator of whether schools meet federal and state standards, began after The Atlanta Journal-Constitution published analyses in 2008 and 2009 showing improbable increases in test scores at many schools in Atlanta and in other Georgia districts. In February, the state ordered Atlanta and 34 other districts to investigate schools found in its analysis to have excessive numbers of erasures on test papers.
The commission was appointed by the Atlanta Board of Education and populated by people with financial and civic ties to the district. By relying heavily on the work of its consultant, Caveon Test Security, the panel took an approach that seems to have conflicted with instructions from the state.
Instead of rigorously investigating all 58 schools, the commission gave a lower priority to 31 schools after Caveon reported that its own data analysis turned up fewer concerns than the state had reported.
Many of the 31, however, displayed the hallmarks of altered scores: classrooms or entire grades with suspicious erasures across multiple subject tests; classes with hundreds of erasures when only a few dozen might be expected; double-digit drops in 2010 test scores, under heavy scrutiny; and tips from other educators who suspected wrongdoing.
State officials are reviewing the report. So far, they aren't happy with the results.
"I would not say I take everything Caveon says as the way it is," Mathers said. "The state did an analysis, and we are confident in that analysis."

I wonder how forthcoming APS will have to be regarding the discipline of teachers and administrators. Maybe these will be handled as "personnel" matters and screened from public view?
August 5th, 2010

Handling the cheating teachers as a personnel matter is appropriate just as it would be in any workplace where company policy has been broken. However, in this case there was also intent to defraud the district, state and their respective taxpayers so a criminal investigation and consequences wouldn't be out of the question either.
I'm guessing that after a few warrants are passed out people will talk and the full scope of the cheating and who was leading the charge will make itself more clear.

I would like to think some warrants are in the offing, but I won't be holding my breath.

Another thought… This whole scandal is yet another demonstration of why overemphasis on standardized testing and scores is unhealthy. Metrics and measurement are good tools to indicate progress towards goals in any organization, but when the metrics become the end all be all of that organization something is lost and goals can be subverted in order to make the numbers work out right.
This does not excuse the ethics and honesty of the teachers who cheated but it is a warning that performance and accountability are not something that can be easily calculated based on only a few measurements. You get what you reward and if the reward is for scores rather than learning than you will get scores without learning.
Yes, measuring learning is complex and difficult at times but isn't that why we pay administrators, District coordinators and the Department of Education experts their salaries?

Well, the fix was in, wasn't it? What may happen, I think, is one of the accused teachers will sue when fired. They will be able to subpoena documents and quite possibly compel testimony (I'm not a lawyer, nor do play one on TV, or in the APS central office). Once some of that comes out, the new state AG (whoever that is) will be forced to undertake a criminal probe. All that will happen 2-3 years from now, and the criminal court cases will come out in about 5 years. Terrific.
Anyone know how to get a grand jury empanelled to investigate this? Probably has to be initiated by Fulton Cty. DA Paul Howard, right? No chance for that, we'll have to work on getting him replaced at election time, another 2 years.
This state, this city, this county- could we just, now, replace the state motto with: "Thank God for Mississippi, or we'd be last in everything."

Oh- and Thank You, Again, AJC! You all have done yeoman's work on this issue, and this citizen, this taxpayer, this dad, thanks you from the bottom of his heart. We can't fix what we don't know about, and you have given us citizens powerful motive to get and stay involved.

One more time: although there may have been *some* teachers that had the opportunity to cheat, the more likely suspects are the administrators: they had access to the tests during off-hours. The teachers would have felt pressure, and the risk of a bonus of up to $2,000. But the administrators had their 6-figure salaries on the line. Who had the bigger motive to cheat? Who had opportunity to do so, in such extensive fashion?
Did the 'researchers' who did the statistical analyses graduate from GA schools? Just wondering.
August 5th, 2010
9:04 am
While it may be difficult to fire individual cheaters, it isn't hard to fire district level personnel. Start with the district level testing coordinator. The testing coordinator is responsible for designing strong testing protocals to prevent cheating. While you can't eliminate all cheating, you canhave a testing protocal that is very rigid. Then, if the testing protocal is not followed, you have grounds to either reprimand or fire someone. Very simple, very easy, and is already in place in most school districts in GA.
The next person that needs to go is Beverly Hall. Her legacy at APS will forever be tainted with this scandal. The only hope for APS is to start fresh with a new leader at the helm. Any future increases in test scores will be discounted.
Here's an analogy: Does anyone still consider the baseball records of Barry Bonds or Mark McGwire to be authentic? If by some miracle, they could return to their glory days without the benefits of steroids, how many people would believe they did this without using steroids? The same is true for APS. How many people will ever believe any increase in test scores is authentic? Perhaps this can happen with new leadership, but it will never happen if Hall remains in place.
August 5th, 2010
9:12 am
The extent of the cheating will eventually be revealed, though it will be too late to do much about it. All I can think of while reading of the APS cheating scandal is the famous question from the Watergate era: "What did the President know and when did he know it?"
August 5th, 2010
9:17 am
Now I recall how the BRC announced publication of the report intially and then a few days later announced an unspecified period of delay, which ultimately prompted the State BOE to force their hand to deliver it by Aug 2. I would suggest that expediency was huge factor in this case which because of its sheer scale required more time and resources to sufficiently investigate. I think the BRC should have produced a premilinary report on the dirty dozen worst offending schools and delayed a more comprehensive report later. I like the state pressured APS to produce something but I think they should have given them more time overall to ensure things were suffiently investigated. APS has WAAAYY more schools to review than the other districts sited!
As for the aftermath of the BRC's report, I guess now all eyes are squarely on the Dr. Hall and the APS Board. With the report coming so close to the start of school there is little that can be immeidately done to build in additional controls or effectively deal with "personnel matters". At the least I think some should be fired (as immediately as possible), which I'm sure will spawn some additional information to spew forth about what really was happening. In addition, I think the APS Board should compell Dr. Hall et al, to return a payback a prorated portion of their bonus which was based on false scores. Lastely the APS board should begin its search for a new superintendent now post haste! And what ever you do please don't think of promoting from within.
August 5th, 2010

@ Teacher & Mom – Correct me if I'm wrong but don't most standard GA teacher/principal contracts give districts the right to fire teachers for convience? This may cost the district some degree of severence if this clause is involked but better that than keep a bad apple. With so many teachers let go in the budget crunch across the state shouldn't be too difficult to get replacements even if they act as substitutes for a while.
As for adminstrators, if they are not on employee contracts that may otherwise restrict the termination options, GA is a right to work state which means APS can fire central office level adminstrator anytime they choice without having to create some cause for the action.
The bigger quesiton is will they manifest the fortitude to wipe the slate clean and seed a new culture throughout the district?
August 5th, 2010
9:29 am
TEACHER&MOM'S 9:04 comment is spot-on and cheating will be reduced if Hall goes because any organization's leader must be proactive (perhaps, even fanatical) when dealing with this. She most certainly was not. However, removing Hall won't solve the problem. For every active cheater, there are many others complicit in the "crime"— they knew about it and did nothing. It's deeply rooted in the organization's culture. And, don't for a minute believe that it's limited to the APS or that it's a racial issue. There was widespread cheating (not on standardized test) at the suburban "School of Excellence" where I was Dean in the 1990's. I tried to root it out. The man in charge squashed our attempts at reform and my career. The "careerists" in any organization almost always manage to keep the lid on long enough for themselves to move on to that "higher paying job elsewhere." Look for the deeper problem, not just individual cheaters.
August 5th, 2010
9:40 am
ADVOCATE: Your last line is right on the money. The problem is that the slate won't stay clean for very long unless the nature of the organization changes. I'm fairly certain that Beverly Hall didn't begin her career thinking about how organizing cheatng (or at the very least turning a blind eye to it) would be necessary in her career advancement. The "system" taught her that. The advent of "high stakes testing" accelerated the process. Corruption occurs "one day at a time" with little compromises that only too soon become big ones.

Expediency is too kind a word for the misrepresentation, Ms. Downey. It was a calculated effort to obscure, deflect, and lie.
If this is a Blue Ribbon Panel, I hate to see the work of lesser panels.
The Empress has no clothes, plain and simple! Time for the state to step in.
August 5th, 2010
10:03 am
Did anyone really think this "Blue Ribbon Panel" would do anything other than protect APS and "whitewash" over the cheating? This was a given once they announced who was on this "Blue Ribbon Panel". The state should tell them to go back and actually come back with the truth next time.
August 5th, 2010
10:43 am
Taxpayers have been defrauded by the clear intent to cheat in order to qualify for bonuses that would otherwise not have been paid. This starts with Beverly Hall, and trickles down through her corrupt and tyrannical administration to every tainted school. Criminal charges should be filed, and the Board that should have caught this and didn't – and that now refuses to recognize this – should all be recalled. No further tax money should be put into the hands of these liars and thieves.
What is the procedure for citizens to request that the state take over the local school system?
August 5th, 2010

Given the makeup of the blue ribbon committee, I believe that the report's executive summary was written first and then the body of the report written to match.
Just like the 3 little moneys – see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil.

11:45 am
Maureen the governor now has authority to step in does he not? If this was Clayton, would you have any hesitation about asking the governor to step in. The APS school board may be more "civil" and act more "professional" but the bottom line is they named 7 members to a panel with verifiable conflicts of interest with APS due to their business dealings with APS, and 4 members of the same political action committee that endorsed most if not all of the current board.
Isn't this kind of behavior the very sort of thing that the General Assembly had in mind when they gave the governor the authority to step in?
August 5th, 2010
11:47 am
I don't think the Governor can step in unless their accreditation by SACS is taken away?
August 5th, 2010
11:48 am
The words "Blue Ribbon Committee" are so ironic. Again, Bryant needs to step up to the plate and erradicate the cheater at the helm.
August 5th, 2010
11:59 am
If that's the case Dunwoody Mom, it begs the question, where is SACS? Certainly naming people who endorsed the board, and have business dealings with a school system, to investigate that very same school system rises to the level of "outside influence" that SACS is so concerned about doesn't it?
August 5th, 2010
12:04 pm
Yes, it would seem this should interest SACS, especially with the "rumors" that the Atlanta BOE is really hand-picked by the Chamber of Commerce. I mean if SACS is concerned with a DeKalb BOE member selling pizzas to DCSS schools, then one would think the APS BOE situation would be one to look at.
August 5th, 2010

Credit where credit is due.
You've dodged some tough questions Maureen, but we must give credit that you have featured the report in multiple blogs, and have raised some good questions as well. It's just that at this point we need a pitbull of a "watchdog" given the level of intransigence and denial on the part of APS.
August 5th, 2010
12:36 pm
@ Dunwood Mom: At least 3 members of the Atlanta BOE were challenged and narrowly won back their seats (Chairman Burks being one of them).
Regardless as to teh favor of the Atlanta Chamber (who no doubt love any the Atlanta BOE for their continued blind support of Tax Allocations Districts for which APS has recieved little ROI to date), fact the APS consistuancy overall does little to really hold the Atlanta BOE accountable. When this fundemental point changes, then the district will change. Until then, don't expect anything but more of the same.

I was hoping that this morning's breaking news would read "Dr. Hall Steps Down". Needless to say, I'm very disappointed that she's still APS Superintendent & camped out up on the 8th Floor. Here's hoping that the US Marhalls will visit APS in the very near future and sweep the whole building. Start on the 8th Floor with Beverly Hall. Walk her out. On the way out, stop by & get Keith Bromery, Sue Yeager, the whole Legal Department, Kathy Augustine, Dave Williamson (Williams), Chuck Burbridge, Nader Sohrab (handcuff him), Crissi Calhoun, Sandra Mormon, Holly Keller, Brad Johnson, Millicent Few, Marquenta Sands, Penn Payne, the 4 Board Members that accepted the cheating report, & Elwood Duckworth (what does he do anyway?). Put them all in a white van without windows, without AC, drive them to the Mississippi State line, let them out of the van, and tell them to "git".

State Rep. Ralph Long told Channel 2 Action News reporter Richard Elliot that he believes Hall and every principal at one of the named schools should turn in their resignation.

I absolutely cannot believe that no one at Deerwood Academy, and Humphries, Thomasville Heights, Dobbs, and Fickett elementary schools are receiving recommendations for disciplinary action given the facts that the AJC has reported here. This given evidence that half of 90 classes had a suspicious number of erasures and a prior cheating scandal in 2008 (Deerwood); half the classes had a suspicious number of erasures and a staff memeber reported administrators "cleaned up" test answer sheets in the school auditorium (Humphries); 39% of the classrooms with a suspicious number of erasures, a middle school teacher saying there's no way the students she inherited possibly obtained the test scores reported and submitting evidence to back that up, 139 erasures in one class where the average is 27, and 2010 scores that plummeted by 31% (Thomasville Heights); and severely high number of erasures in classrooms and suspicious 100% pass rates in some classrooms (Doobs and Finch). If these facts as reported by the AJC are true, then it is unbelievable that the "blue ribbon panel" failed to recommend disciplinary action for a single person at any of these schools — nor apparently did the panel even bother to conduct more than a cursory investigation at these schools.
On top of this, we have the head of the blue ribbon panel, Gary Price, whining "How far are supposed to look and investigate? How many resources do we devote? How long do keep a cloud over these schools heads? Or shouldn't we just move on?" Excuse me? He didn't even scratch the surface at some of these schools. And I would submit that a teacher or administrator who takes a student's test answer sheet, and intentionally erases a wrong answer and changes it to a correct answer — even only on limited occasions, or even just once — is probably someone who should not be an educator, or at the very least needs to be subject to some discipline and/or some time away from teaching and schools. This isn't cheating by students we're talking about — it's cheating by TEACHERS, PRINCIPALS, and SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS. I would submit to Mr. Price that this sort of thing needs to be vigorously investigated at ALL of the schools where it may have taken place, and not just at 12 of the 58 suspected schools.
Thank you to the AJC for continuing to follow this story, and please do not stop. I am a parent of two children attending APS schools (thankfully not at schools suspected of cheating), and so have been especially interested in this unfolding saga. The fact that so many of the members of the blue ribbon panel have financial ties to APS, as the AJC has previously reported, makes this situation all the more disgusting. Please keep pushing on this story!
August 5th, 2010
3:16 pm
First is took to long. Not it didn't take long enough. Next it was taxpayer money being spent (which is entirely false), now we want taxpayer money to be spent to investigate more and take over the system (which as correctly stated can't be done unless accreditation is lost – btw Clayton's story is entirely different). First independent. Now cronies. In Baltimore it took 2 years to resolve a case at a school to only find one person culpable. And they eventually had to do the level of analysis that was done by Caveon (which the state could have done but didn't).
I hope Maureen can share what chillywilly has been ranting about, because I for one would love to see it. If there's something that needs action by all means make it happen
FYI, you can't just fire a teacher or other educator for convenience, they State of Georgie provides educators due process rights prior to such action (despite being an "at-will" state). However, if they have admitted or had their hands caught in the cookie jar, then you can give em the boot.

@ Just Wondering: Your latter point is quite interesting. Makes me want to dig deeper into the boilerplate language used for these teacher and principal contracts in the local districts across the metro area.

August 5th, 2010
5:34 pm
I believe the Code of Georgia 20-2-940 or something like that talks about due process for teachers/principals.
For those that want to read it, the entire report is available on APS' website. It appears the BRC went deeper than the state by asking questions like did the wrong to right erasures impact scores and pass rate. Why didn't the state look at that? Another piece of info is how many students got the hard answers right and the easy answers wrong. If you really want to find cheating, that is the guaranteed way to do it. If that is available, GOSA should share it with the public.
As for the schools mentioned, does anyone know if people in these schools were included in the 109?
August 5th, 2010
6:08 pm
Just wondering: I may be more than usually dense today, but it looks like if a group of kids gets more answers RIGHT, it would impact scores and pass rates. I mean, why do it otherwise? And remember the history–that scores have been improving unbelievably for the last several years. In addition, did educators know the cut scores BEFORE the test? Otherwise, how would you know how high you have to aim to get a pass? I guess,given the low level the cut scores have been (<50% correct?) you could make a shrewd guess..
August 5th, 2010

I would like to know who actually conducted these interviews. Individuals who are not trained in investigative interview techniques have no business in an investigation such as this.

August 5th, 2010
11:57 pm
Appendix 6 or 7 of the report has some tables that speak to the scores, etc. which shed some light on this for me because I thought the same thing. It had year to year score comparisons. Some of the schools in that 31 or 33 the state identified had slight increases in 2009 over the previous years and handful actually had declines in 2009. A handful had increases in 2010, most had small declines from 2009.
The AJC through their own research identified almost the same "12″ almost a year ago and that's where the big jumps and drops are. I'm curious about the cut scores too as I thought they were hush hush.
It would be really interesting to see what the other systems turned in to see how this report compares. Didn't the AJC report a few weeks ago about 80 people from the 133 other schools that were being referred for something?
Maureen, is it possible to get links to the other systems reports just to see what's going on with the entire 191.
August 6th, 2010
12:21 am
Will people really be able to ask questions or will it be, like so many other APS community meetings a sham where questions have to be submitted in advance?
August 6th, 2010
1:05 am
Get there early. The most important thing is
to show up to let the School Board know that the community has enough of Beverly Hall and the board's lack of leadership. We elected the board to help make this school system the best in the nation, rather than the joke of the state. Show up for that little boy or girl that want to learn how to read, so that they will not spend two years in remedial courses if they want to go to college.

The ethics inservice that is state mandated for teachers and staff is just a joke. The greedy and the insane view this information during their nap time after school. When the lights go out to view this information so do their brains. You are waisting time on cheaters. The incentive bonuses are too powerful for greedy teachers and administrators to be honest. No they are not putting the children first…their focus is a new kitchen being remodeled or a new Lexus. The APS's elementary schools really have a serious cheating problem, I know …!
August 9th, 2010
6:58 am
I was attempting to read the report itself, & this phrase stopped me cold: "The 4.0 cut‐off was selected because any lower values would increase the likelihood of greater false positives (i.e. including individuals that are not involved in any wrongdoing)." 4.0 was Caveon's numerical representation that the erasure pattern had a 1 in 10,000 probability of naturally occurring. In other words, the Blue Ribbon Commission cleared and did not investigate where the results had a 1 in 9,999 probability of naturally occurring. White Elementary, for example, isn't one of the 12, but had a Caveon index of 3.5 – only 8 interviews conducted, and no staff referred for further investigation.
Deerwood Academy and several other schools flagged by GOSA had Caveon scores of 0.0 – so it appears that Caveon and GOSA empirically observed different erasure rates. Why hasn't GOSA released their information fully? It is possible there is something wrong at GOSA as well.

Jagielka's wonder-strike could spark Everton into life
In typical derby-day fashion, the prematch talk ahead of Everton's 1-1 draw with Liverpool was of weak defences and flowing football. Last-gasp thunderbolts aside, this unusually tepid affair saw defences on top and quality football in frustratingly short supply.
The mixed bag of a match epitomised Everton's season to date. Refreshingly, though, after a series of defensive nightmares compounded by successive defeats in league and cup, this ended on an upbeat, potentially pivotal note.
As Phil Jagielka...

Ken Marino and Gillian Jacobs Talk Butt Monsters at SXSW
Hopefully by now you've seen Senior Editor Anthony Layser's first interview with Burning Love bachelor Ken Marino, who's also the lead in the horror-comedy Milo, which had its world premiere at SXSW in Austin. Yeah. Rough start. Wrong foot. But here's round two in which they talk about Ken's film Milo. It's been described as a throwback to the scary creature flicks of the '80s and '90s like Gremlins, Critters, etc. Here's the official synopsis from the official SXSW site – "A man (played by Ken) discovers that his chronic stomach problems are due to the fact that he has a demon baby living in his colon."
There's no way I was going to leave it off our list of SXSW film premieres you should keep an eye on. I mean, strange intestinal creatures? I'm pretty sure I have one of those and Ken-doll over here beat me to the punch. But for every Jaws, there needs to be an Orca. This could be my Orca. So bad that it's good.
I also just learned that Gillian Jacobs is a "teetotaler" according to Wikipedia. After this weekend, I think I might consider becoming one as well. My intestinal creature won't be happy about that, but things change. Deal with it (*cue 8-bit sunglasses falling onto my face*).

I have totally fallen to my death by noticing I had the wrong aspect on and flipping it while flying. Sadly I have no cape to slow me so all I could do was /facepalm
On a side note, if you can target something fast enough and hit disengage close to the ground, will you still take fall damage?

It changes the direction of your momentum like mage's blink, so it would probably work the same way. That assumes you can get into combat with your target fast enough.
Thank god. I change aspects all the time in flight and have died idk how many times because of it. If you're a Goblin, you can time your rocket jump and prevent death, as the ability "resets" your fall height.
Oh and that 5% agility nerf isn't quite as bad as I thought it was going to be for Survival. The buffs to BM and MM look nice, but I'm curious as to how the specs are going to measure up.
And hooray for shorter Master's Call CD!!
Disengage? No clue. I know Rocket Jump for Goblins doesn't seem to negate falling speed (after numerous strange testing-related deaths), though you might be able to do it if you had superhuman timing.
Since disengage seems to work a lot like rocket jump, only backwards, I think the same would apply to it.
Hunter's disengage, goblin's rocket boots, warrior's charge, mage's blink, and even a very well timed demonic circle port can all land you safely on the ground, providing you don't use said abilities at a height equal to/greater than one that would kill you anyway. Still no such luck for falling shaman/dks though :\
