Yukon turns back Norman in final minute
Groce kept alive Yukon's next drive with a 9-yard first-down run on a fake punt. Caleb Davis sped 27 yards to the Norman 2-yard line. Somerville finished the possession with a 2-yard touchdown strike to Parker Bohannan. Yukon had a 21-13 advantage with 6:39 remaining.
Norman had knocked Yukon out of the 2012 playoffs with a 38-13 first-round triumph.
"I'm proud of this team," Yukon coach Todd Wilson said. "That's a good football team. They beat a couple of good teams. It was big for the program. Tonight our defense got us off the field. It was a great stand by our defense. We had a great plan to stop a good rushing offense. I was really proud."
Norman used timely defense and Dean's legs to produce a 10-0 advantage at 8:32 left in the second quarter.
Norman's Gavin Nadeau plucked Somerville's pass at the Yukon 27-yard line, returning the interception to the 20. Norman cashed in the takeaway for a Matt Hockett 42-yard field goal late in the first quarter.
Dean executed the zone read, hiding the ball in his running back's belly and taking off on a 58-yard scoring run for Norman's 10-0 lead.
Yukon responded with Davis' 66-yard touchdown dash with 7:27 to go in the first half.

Cisco is buying Cariden Technologies, a privately held ISV whose software is used in capacity planning, designing and engineering networks. It's paying about $141 million in cash and retention incentives.
Cariden, whose clients include Verizon, Deutsche Telecom, SingTel and Swisscom, specializes in optimizing traffic management and visibility on service provider networks.
The acquisition is seen as part of Cisco's very necessary move into software-defined networking (SDN). This summer Cariden announced a blueprint for infrastructure SDN - the visibility and control of network resources.
It also supports Cisco's Open Network Environment strategy, a k a Cisco ONE, by providing sophisticated wide area networking (WAN) orchestration capabilities.
Cariden is bound for Cisco's Service Provider Networking Group to enable multi-layer modeling and optimization of optical transport and IP/MPLS networks.
Cisco said, "With global service providers converging their Internet Protocol (IP) and optical networks to address exploding Internet and mobile traffic growth and complex traffic patterns, Cisco's acquisition of Cariden will allow providers to enhance the visibility, programmability and efficiency of their converged networks, while improving service velocity." It's supposed to advance Cisco's nLight technology for IP and optical convergence.
Cisco bought two other companies last month: Wi-Fi company Meraki for $1.2 billion and SDN house Cloupia for $125 million. Counting Cariden, Cisco spent nearly $1.5 billion buying in props for cloud computing. It's got $45 billion in the bank.
The deal is supposed to close by the end of January.
The Internet of Things (IoT) is growing rapidly by extending current technologies, products and networks. By 2020, Cisco estimates there will be 50 billion connected devices. Gartner has forecast revenues of over $300 billion, just to IoT suppliers. Now is the time to figure out how you'll make money – not just create innovative products. With hundreds of new products and companies jumping into the IoT fray every month, there's no shortage of innovation. Despite this, McKinsey/VisionMobile data shows "less than 10 percent of IoT developers are making enough to support a reasonably sized team....

WebRTC is about the data channel as much as about video and audio conferencing. However, basically all commercial WebRTC applications have been built with a focus on audio and video. The handling of "data" has been limited to text chat and file download – all other data sharing seems to end with screensharing. What is holding back a more intensive use of peer-to-peer data?

WebRTC has had a real tough three or four years, and so have those working with it. Only a few short years ago, the development world were excited about WebRTC and proclaiming how awesome it was. You might have played with the technology a couple of years ago, only to find the extra infrastructure requirements were painful to implement and poorly documented. This probably left a bitter taste in your mouth, especially when things went wrong.

Developing software for the Internet of Things (IoT) comes with its own set of challenges. Security, privacy, and unified standards are a few key issues. In addition, each IoT product is comprised of at least three separate application components: the software embedded in the device, the backend big-data service, and the mobile application for the end user's controls. Each component is developed by a different team, using different technologies and practices, and deployed to a different stack/target - this makes the integration of these separate pipelines and the coordination of software upd...

Consumer Privacy and Marketing Avoidance: A Static Model
We introduce the concept of marketing avoidance--consumer efforts to conceal themselves and to deflect marketing. The setting is one in which sellers market some item through solicitations to potential consumers, who differ in their benefit from the item and suffer harm from receiving solicitations. Concealment by one consumer induces sellers to shift solicitations to other consumers, whereas deflection does not. Solicitations cause two externalities: direct harm on consumers and the (indirect) cost of consumer concealment and deflection. We find that in markets where the marginal cost of solicitation is sufficiently low, efforts by low-benefit consumers to conceal themselves will increase the cost-effectiveness of solicitations and lead sellers to market more. However, concealment by high-benefit consumers leads sellers to market less. Furthermore, concealment by low-benefit consumers increases direct privacy harm, and consumer welfare is higher with deflection than concealment. Finally, it is optimal to impose a charge on solicitations.

We received the shipment within 2 weeks of ordering the table. Skepticism about online order was present. Pictures present a nice looking table but when I opened and assembled my wife and I were both extremely happy with the design of the table top. The pictures do not do any justice to the top part of the table. The leaf had beautiful grains and the inlay design on top we both felt were great. My wife and I disagreed on the number of chairs. I would say buy the extra two because if you want others to sit at the table for a dinner the bar height chairs are needed...................... DELVERY TIPS: have the delivery person put the table top side down where you will assemble or have the table because it will limit the movement as the table needs TWO people to move when assembled and the table legs need to be put in with the top facing down........................PACKAGING TIPS- the packaging was nice and the driver pointed out that the straps used to keep the table on the skid crished the box a little so before the driver leaves make sure you inspect any crushed packaging. I had no probelm. everything looks nice.............ASSEMBLY TIPS, always be careful not to over-tighten and strip hex bolts. The assembly can easily be done by one person for the table and the chairs but you will need at least two people to turn the table over. Because the table top is heavy if you try to move on your own you may put too much stress on the legs and compromise the bolts/ and threads and could crack a leg. I wish the chair cushions had those great predrilled and threaded bolts to make the assembly completely easy................ ADDITIONAL THOUGHTS: it would be nice to have a touch up kit included. I am worried about the finish because again it looks so nice so perhap an additional coats of poly would be the best solution.
I really like this dining set, I have the leaf in the table and it's in my dining room and it's a perfect addition for a great price. I also ordered the two additional chairs off of overstock to go with the table. It's a little tight with 6 ppl sitting down, but it's not really bad or that noticeable (I am just very picky so I notice everything). But I am glad that I ordered 6 chairs and would still order 6 again. This was my first order from overstock, I couldn't find what I wanted in the furniture stores and I wanted something different so I went with overstock and I am glad that I did!
Had a lot of the same problems as other customers.Easily fixed by customer service.Do not be afraid to buy this set,much better than a nything we saw in any store.We did get two extra chairs.Can fit 6 chairs around table without useing the extra leaf.A bit tight but okay. The pattern on the table top was a surprise,beautiful.
- Did the color match the color displayed onsite? YES
- How is the quality of the product? BERY GOOD
- Did the description onsite accurately describe the product? EXCEPT FOR THE TABLE TOP.
Beautiful set. Takes a minute to put together but noting too technical. I did it by myself while watching tv. It only gets a 4 rather than a 5 because there was some damage to one chair, however I called overstock and they agreed to send another one out at no cost to me, I am awaiting it now. Well made, sturdy set. Very pleased.
I just received this yesterday (after ordering only 6 days ago) and my husband put it together last night. It is beautiful!! The set is very solid and seems much more expensive than the price we paid. I would definitely recommend it.
This table set was exactly what I was looking for. The boxes arrived pretty smashed up and ripped, but the furniture sustained no damage! My husband said it was fairly simple to put together, and seemed sturdy and well made. The only thing I am not crazy about is the table top. The finish is very "grainy", which I am not a fan of. To see a photo of the table top, check out ***** website, they are selling the exact same set under the name "Denver". Saved a-lot of money w/ Overstock, very happy!!
Love this set. We just built a home with a large dining room and a small breakfast nook. This fits perfectly in the nook. We can always add the extension if we need more, but its just what we were looking for. The color and design are just as its pictured. I shopped around and couldn't find anything to compare for the money and quality. The delivery was great as well. Takes a little time to put together but overall not bad. Highly recommend.
I love this set. The inlay in the top is beautiful. The chairs are ver comfortable, and it looks like it would have cost more. I was a bit worried the chair backs and seats would look cheap, but they are great. Easy to assemble, though with 6 chairs it took a while! All the pieces fit together as they should and everything is solid on the floor. No wobbling. Excellent value for the price. The shipping box was torn and the table leaf had come loose from its strap that was supposed to hold it in p,ace, but nothing was damaged.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Yes. Very nice dark color
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Excellent
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Very
I'm very happy with this pub set! Fairly easy to assemble, took 2 guys an hour to complete. Love the leaf as it gives this set a lot of versatility size wise. Chairs and table seem to be sturdy with good quality wood. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because I feel the rungs on the chair could be a little "beefier."
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? good
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Very sturdy with beautiful wood. The design on the table top is beautiful.
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? accurate
I was skeptical about purchasing such a large and expensive item online, but the good reviews assured me that this table was not a piece of junk. I finally bought it after months of debating. The table arrived in less than 2 weeks. The boxes arrived a little rough looking, but the table and chairs are packed incredibly well and everything was very protected, not so much as a nick or scratch on anything! The assembly took about an hour and is quite simple. I can say that I am thoroughly impressed with the quality of the table and the chairs. Overall it is excellent quality and I would not be surprised to it priced twice as much as it's listed on Overstock. The inlay on the table top and the color are beautiful. Why they do not have a photo of the top is beyond me, as it's really nice looking and unique. Some people have mentioned the need to have a more protective finish, but I haven't noticed any problem with it. The chairs are very nice and the quality is simply incredible for the price. I highly recommend this set. You will not be disappointed. It's a great value!
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Yes
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Excellent. Very solid build with quality materials.
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Accurate. Should have photo of table top.
We have had our new dining room set for just a couple of weeks now and we are much more than satisfied with the product. Our ordering experience was exceptional in that the table and chairs actually arrived in less than one week from placing the order...and without any damage whatsoever! The delivery man was very helpful and assisted my wife moving the boxes into the house, since they were so large and I was not home. My wife actually took it upon herself to put the chairs together and did so with relative ease. The first chair took about an hour (she actually read the directions), but after that the rest went pretty quickly. She left two chairs and the table for me to assemble and those went together without any problemsl. It definitely takes two strong people to flip the table after the legs are installed because it is so heavy. After it was assembled and put in place in our kitchen dining area it looked spectacular!!! We actually got 8 chairs, though it will be pretty tight trying to get 8 people around the table. We decided to use two of chairs with a counter-height bar we have in the adjacent living room and just keep six chairs around the table. Bottom line....this is a great table at a great price that exceeded my expectations when it arrived....I could not be happier!!!
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? The color on the site was pretty close to the actual table and chairs. There are staining highlights on the table and chair legs that I couldn't see online, which actually enhances the color. The tabe top also has very intricate wood inlay work that I would have loved to have seen online but couldn't. I was very pleasantly surprised when I received the table!
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. The produce seems to be of very high quality. Both the tables and chairs seem very sturdy and well built.
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Mostly accurate. The table and chairs actually look much better in person than what you see online!
Unfortunatly our table arrived with damage. After replacing table 2 times I finally recieved a beautiful, perfect table. Cutomer service was outstanding. They were not satisfied until I was.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Color was exactly as pictured
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Quality is more than expected, solid, heavy wood with beautiful grain inlay
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Picture should include top of table, beautiful inlay you can not see in picture
The wood is gorgeous and we LOVE this set! Looks more expensive than it was and we've received a TON of compliments on it! You will not be disappointed!
We purchased this set four months ago. Went together easily, sturdy and lovely to look at. Unusual pattern on the top, but fits into most any decor. (We have a transitional kitchen with hickory cabinets and slate tile and the set looks good.) Be aware that the wood top is very open grain and not well sealed. The table top is peeling and chipping (small). House with children and the kitchen is our gathering area - lots of use! We we should have added a lacquer coat to seal immediately before using this set. Touched up problem areas and added a lacquer coat, hopefully this will "toughen up" the surface.
This dinning set is beautiful! I received my furniture yesterday and I love it! It was somehow easy to assembly, the chairs took a bit more time but it was not difficult. Delivery was fast! I received it within 10 days after I placed the order. Overall I'm satisfied with the product and had a good experience with customer service. However I'm not sure if I will purchase an oversize item thru Overstock again because the delivery policy is not 'single friendly' at all! I live on the third floor on an apartment complex without elevator and the delivery man wouldn't bring it to my apartment. I was just about to return the item but he was kind enough to go find someone to help. Happy ending after all but I think I'll be better off going to a store next time.
I have owned this table for over a year now. The finish on the top of the table is starting to wear off. We really like the table, it fits well in our home. The finish could be a little more durable.
I've had this table now for a few years, moved twice, and it still looks great. Solid product. Very classy.
I'm tall and so is my husband and we just LOVE this table (and we purchased the two addt'l chairs for dinners with company. We've had these a few years and they've moved 800 miles with us to our new home. I would 100% recommend this set if you are looking for this style of dining table.
This is a fabulous set and it looks fabulous in my kitchen. We have owned this set for three or four years now and it has held up and still looks very nice. Highly recommend this set!!
Can't say enough good things about this Pub set. Very beautiful table pattern, chairs are padded ,well made. Looks beautiful in my dining area. Very pleased with all of my Overstock purchases.....top notch business!

As I made my way into the run transition, I heard Clark call my name. I was so excited to see him! I got ready for the run and he was on the course and I stopped to give him a quick kiss.

From the second I started the run, I felt amazing. No heavy legs, any frustration that I had about the bike portion disappeared. ...

More Planetary Nebulae
Expand Messages
- Last night was supposed to be cloudy. As I stepped outside it was
beautifully clear so the 25" got set up in the driveway. Even with
that damn moon casting a shadow of the telescope on the driveway I
still thought it would be fun to try seeing a few small planetary
nebulae. Though I did use a 25", all of these should be visible in an
8" scope under a dark sky. These are interesting because they are
quite bright, yet in more esoteric catalogs that Messier or NGC.
IC 4997 Sge
20h 20m
+16 40'
Mag 11.6
Size 1.6"
A bright and gloriously green nearly stellar PN at 200x. I knew it
was a PN even unfiltered because of its tell-tale color. The OIII
fitler confirmed, as it outshown everything else in the field of
view. It blinks beautifully with 9.9 mag star GSC1631:1973, only 1.1'
to the SW.
IC 1747 Cas
01h 57m
+63 20'
Mag 13.6
Size 13"
A small, slightly oblong shaped PN, fairly faint. Responds well to
OIII filter. There are a number of stars in the field, mostly
brighter than IC 1747. With the OIII fitler, the nebula nearly
outshines them all.
Hu 1-1 Cas
00h 28m
+55 59'
Mag 13.3
Size 5.0"
I can't belive this is the first time I have ever observed this
before, as it's quite bright. It's not stellar with averted vision,
but nearly so. Quite blue in color. Responds well to OIII filter.
Vyssotsky 11 Cas
00h 18m
+55 59'
Magnitude 12.6
Size 5.0"
A small PN, but extended enough and bright enough for me to recognize
it as a PN immediately, even without a filter on a bright moonlit
night. By staring directly at it it disappears completely. MegaStar
shows an associated 12.9 mag star superimposed over the PN, but I
only see its faint 14.1 mag central star.
Well, there you have it. Hope you see them on the next clear night.
If you do, or have already done so please let me know.

Ending Diagnostic Odysseys
By Kevin Davies
March 29, 2011
First Base
| Howard Jacob began his scientific career studying the genetics of rats (with Eric Lander), but for the past several years he has been telling anyone who will listen that genomic sequencing will reach the clinic by about 2014. His colleagues responded dismissively: "It will be a long time before we use genomic sequencing in the clinic—and no-one will ever pay for it," Jacob kept hearing.
It turns out they were all wrong. In Milwaukee, Wisconsin, it has already arrived, and even more remarkably perhaps, insurance companies are (in some cases) offering reimbursement.
Jacob and his medical and informatics colleagues at the Medical College of Wisconsin made headlines late last year after they successfully identified the rogue gene mutated in a little boy named Nicholas Volker, who had a rare and undiagnosed intestinal disorder. In a captivating talk at The Future of Genomic Medicine conference* in March, Jacob recalled the circumstances surrounding Volker's diagnosis. (The results were published in Genetics and Medicine as well as in the Milwaukee-Wisconsin Journal Sentinel, a superb three-part series that has Pulitzer Prize written all over it.)
On June 27, 2009, Volker's pediatric gastroenterologist, Alan Mayer, e-mailed Jacob to ask whether it was possible to sequence the genome of his 4-year-old patient. For six months, the boy underwent more than 100 surgeries to repair holes in his intestine, and his colon was removed piece by piece. Jacob decided his group could indeed sequence Volker's genome—"How could you not?" he asked rhetorically—but elected to sequence just the exome (the protein-coding genes), as this would be simpler and, besides, it was all they could afford. Jacob collaborated with Roche/454 for five rounds of exome sequencing, at a cost (at the time) of about $75,000.
Sequencing was easy compared to the data analysis problem—how to whittle down more than 16,000 unique DNA variants in Volker's exome to a single causative mutation? Jacob paid tribute to his colleagues led by Elizabeth Worthey (ex-Rosetta), David Dimmock (ex-Baylor) and his bioinformatics team, even though their initial list of some 2,000 candidate genes proved incorrect.
The team found a point mutation in a highly conserved region of XIAP (X-linked Inactivation of Apoptosis). Jacob's hunch is that Volker developed an immune response (perhaps to something he ate), but the mutated XIAP protein bound irreversibly, causing cell death in the intestines. But there was a more immediate concern: mutations in XIAP are linked with XLP2, a lymphoproliferative disease requiring a bone marrow transplant. Jacob informed the parents they had found a suspect mutation, but their son had a risk of cancer and could die if he didn't have a transplant.
David Margolis, the program director of blood and bone marrow transplants at Children's Hospital of Wisconsin told Jacob: "If you put it in the medical record that it's XIAP deficiency and the child is at risk for XLP2, I will do a bone marrow transplant." "That's the level of precision you have to have in order to effect an action," said Jacob.
The Volker case study was published in Genetics in Medicine. Why such an obscure journal? "Because no-one else would take it!" Jacob shrugged. Editors and reviewers griped that Rick Lifton and colleagues at Yale had already reported a successful diagnosis using exome sequencing (in 2009), and that science is more than reporting a single case. I'm astounded at such short-sightedness.
No One-hit Wonder
It would be tempting to dismiss Volker as a one-hit wonder. "We're from the Medical College of Wisconsin. No-one's ever heard of us!" Jacob joked. But Jacob and colleagues are on a mission "to end diagnostic odysseys." His group has switched to an Illumina HiSeq 2000 and moved to whole-genome sequencing, even though that "just created a whole series of new problems" in data interpretation.
The move to push genome sequencing into routine clinical practice requires as much skill in navigating bureaucracy as interpreting base pairs. "Trying to get this CAP- and CLIA-certified is a nightmare," said Jacob. The Sanger sequencing validation alone required 547 pages of documentation. But there's no choice: "If you want your clinical colleagues to use this, they want this certified," said Jacob.
Jacob's team has jerry-rigged a series of data analysis guidelines, dubbed Illumina Carpe Novo ("seize the new"), designed for clinical geneticists to analyze whole-genome sequences, not as a research tool.
Clinically Useful Sequencing
Even after the Volker episode, Jacob was told that physicians were too busy or uncomfortable to recommend genome sequencing. But since October 2010, the committee has been reviewing 5-6 cases per month.
Since the Volker case, Jacob's team has taken on six more cases, five of which had been sequenced and were undergoing analysis as of early March. Cases, which must be deemed actionable, must be nominated by two physicians. Following case review and consent (which takes 6-8 hours on average), the patient's genome is sequenced, the data analyzed, and counseling offered.
The sequencing step must be clinically useful, said Jacob. "This is not for research. Case selection is based on the interest to the patient, not scientific knowledge." Another tenet is equal access: cases are selected regardless of the family's ability to pay.
Jacob is focusing on putative monogenic disorders that give rise to a distinctive phenotype. "We're not ready for common complex diseases," he said. Moreover, "WGS must have the ability to enhance medical decision making, not make a diagnosis. We don't make a decision [solely] on a variant in the sequence," he said.
The review committee, which meets monthly, is chaired by the hospital's chief medical officer, and includes ethicists, a genomics expert, and three external physicians. Some cases might be approved, others held in a "parking lot," while others require further testing.
As for the conviction that no insurance company would pay for genome sequencing, Jacob said he'd placed a $100 wager with a British colleague that two insurance companies would cover the costs by the end of 2011. "He owes me $100!" said Jacob.
Even more remarkably, Jacob has been approached by an unnamed insurance company interested in collaborating to develop "an evaluation clinic" to assess clients before expensive diagnostics testing.
The company wrote: "In situations where you determine that on average, the cost of routine testing will exceed the current contract price of whole-genome sequencing, we will authorize whole-genome sequencing as a first-line clinical test… We are excited about the ongoing clinical utility monitoring you have established as part of your clinical whole-genome sequencing program."
Whole-genome sequencing might sound like overkill, but Jacob argues it can be highly economical for two reasons. First, obtaining a complete genome sequence can cost less than running a handful of single-gene tests (some of which costs thousands of dollars). "I think we've overlapped," said Jacob. "I'm going for the once versus every single gene. It's simply easier to do the whole [genome]." And of course, the pay-off should a causative, actionable mutation be discovered could save (tens of) thousands of dollars in unnecessary medical procedures.
Security and Liability
The security of the data remains an issue. Patient families are naturally concerned about who will see the data and will the data be in the public record? Physicians don't want to be liable for interpreting the rest of the genome. Jacob's team has concluded that the genome sequence and variants are not part of the electronic medical record.
Another thorny issue is data return and retention. What information is given back to the patient or family? The ethics team decided that data return was "morally permissible" and "should remain at the discretion of the informed parental choice." Parents are asked from the beginning which data they want returned. Jacob's team is also building disease portals to pull together relevant information, because physicians are disease centric. Jacob says he's not scared by the falling cost of data generation. Data management and education around clinical decisions, on the other hand: "that gives me heart palpitations."
Nicholas Volker didn't eat solid food for nine months, but before he left hospital, he was eating steak with A1 sauce. He is now home and "doing quite well."
Whole-genome sequencing "is just another lab value," said Jacob. "It's not a crystal ball until we prove it's a crystal ball. That doesn't mean it doesn't have utility. Let's not forget: individualized medicine is about choices. We think data is part of that. Whole genome sequencing has the ability to effect change." As for the full cost of Volker's analysis, he said: "I have no idea—and I'm not going to count."

The Tap Project proved once again to be a phenomenal success with approximately $850,000 in total donations raised to date. Over 2,300 restaurants from 44 states officially registered to participate in the 2008 Tap Project. Sponsors last year included: American Express, Turner Broadcasting, Esquire magazine, opentable.com, and Rotary's Water & Sanitation Rotarian Action Group (WASRAG).
UNICEF works in more than 90 countries around the world to improve access to safe water and sanitation facilities in schools and communities, and to promote safe hygiene practices. Over the past 15 years, more than a billion people gained access to improved drinking water and sanitation facilities thanks to UNICEF's efforts. However, every day, 4,200 children die of water-related diseases. UNICEF's goal is to reduce the number of needless deaths to zero. With $1, UNICEF can provide 40 liters of safe drinking water, which is enough to give one child safe drinking water for 40 days.

Analysis | In Budget Address, Cuomo Positions Himself as Education Governor
By Joyce Purnick/WNYC Political Analyst
Last year, Governor Andrew Cuomo took some heat from education reformers for failing to put his weight behind changing the way teachers are dismissed. Traditionally, if public school teachers have to be laid off, those with the least seniority – usually the youngest and theoretically the most innovative – go first, ahead of those with seniority.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg pushed hard to change what is known as LIFO (last in, first our), but he needed Cuomo to back him up. But the governor, in his first year in Albany, had other priorities.
Now, Cuomo is trying to make up for lost opportunities. In his State of the State address earlier this month, and in his budget Tuesday, he emphasized education reform, especially tougher teacher evaluations. There is a legitimate question about the likely impact of more rigorous teacher evaluations, but many reformers consider it to be the latest cure-all for what ails the public schools, and Bloomberg and now Cuomo are pushing hard for change.
The emphasis on teacher evaluations was most compelling headline to come out of the governor's budget presentation because he had already done the heavy lifting to close a sizeable budget deficit last year. He and the Legislature restructured income taxes; his administration negotiated labor settlements that did not include wage increases; and he is holding to his plan to keep education and Medicaid increases to 4 percent instead of the usual 13 percent.
Those moves and some modest cuts close most of the deficit, and that in turn allowed Cuomo to focus on provocative policy matters instead of on numbers when he presented his executive budget Tuesday.
He wants pension reform – reducing pension payouts to public employees in the future – wants to build that large convention center and gambling casino at the Aqueduct Raceway in Queens. And he wants teacher evaluations.
Will he get them? He might figure he will get credit just for trying, but an ambitious politician like Cuomo would not typically take a big risk unless confident of the outcome. He could anticipate success because he has a powerful weapon: Cuomo, as governor, controls the state purse strings. So he is threatening to withhold the planned increase in state education aid to school districts that fail to adopt a new teacher rating system. No deal, no money.
More than $700 million federal education aid is already in jeopardy because Washington has linked tough teacher evaluations to getting that Race to the Top money, and no district in the state has made changes. Cuomo's threat raises the stakes to about $1 million in combined state and federal education money that schools could lose absent an agreement on teacher evaluations.
Meaningful teacher evaluations remain the third rail for teacher unions. But they might compromise rather than risk angering the public for robbing the schools of needed resources.
Of course, the public could also blame Cuomo for his tactic. But he has clearly calculated that he is more likely to win plaudits for taking a gamble in pursuit of change.
