Running my OpenCL app on Intel GPUs I encountered precision issue. Results were too imprecise and often failed to pass validation vs CPU-based (or AMD/nVidia GPU based) ones.
Considerable improvement was only when I refused from native_cos/native_sin in oclFFT (Apple's FFT release for OpenCL) and in other parts of app code.
I have no such issues with same OpenCL code on GPUs from other vendors (both AMD and nVidia).
Please consider some improvements for native trigonometric function presion in future SDK/hardware releases. Too low precision makes them just un-useful no matter how speedy they are. Make precision at least in line with other vendors.

From Directives documentation it says to inherit scope in this two ways:
@ or @attr - bind a local scope property to the value of DOM attribute. The result is always a string since DOM attributes are strings. If no attr name is specified then the attribute name is assumed to be the same as the local name. Given and widget definition of scope: { localName:'@myAttr' }, then widget scope property localName will reflect the interpolated value of hello {{name}}. As the name attribute changes so will the localName property on the widget scope. The name is read from the parent scope (not component scope).
= or =attr - set up bi-directional binding between a local scope property and the parent scope property of name defined via the value of the attr attribute. If no attr name is specified then the attribute name is assumed to be the same as the local name. Given and widget definition of scope: { localModel:'=myAttr' }, then widget scope property localModel will reflect the value of parentModel on the parent scope. Any changes to parentModel will be reflected in localModel and any changes in localModel will reflect in parentModel.
Considering that i want to pass elementId, which is just an id, I can pass it through =elementId or @elementId.
Now which one of the two is considered best practice? If I use the
@ and therefore the attribute, it will take the value from the DOM which is slower than taking directly the value?
Am I correct? Any suggestions?

NASCAR Icons readers filled the mailbag with questions for ESPN analyst Ray Evernham and he responded to some of the best ones below.
Evernham, who is co-owner of Gillett Evernham Motorsports, started out racing modifieds before making his name as a crew chief. He won three NASCAR Cup championships and 47 races with Jeff Gordon and Hendrick Motorsports in the 1990s before venturing into ownership in 2000.
Kasey Kahne, Patrick Carpentier and Elliott Sadler drive Dodges for Gillett Evernham in the Sprint Cup series this season.
Here are your questions and Evernham's answers:
What is the difference between the current engine you are using and the new one that you will have, and when will we see the new engine?
Elma, N.Y.
Evernham: Just design parameters. NASCAR is trying to get all engine manufacturers in a kind of a single design parameter of camshaft, cylinder head design, things like that. So with that said this new motor has a different combustion chamber, a little bit different cylinder head, it's a physically lighter motor and it should allow us to continue to improve the performance of the Dodge engine.
We're still waiting on confirmation on when the new one can be used.
In NHRA teams can remove, rebuild a motor and driveline in less than an hour. If you lose a motor during a race can you do a quick engine swap and come back out to regain some points?
Mark Guymon,
Leroy, Ill.
Evernham: Well, there's a NASCAR rule against changing engines, engine blocks during a race. But we used to be able do that. And the world record, I believe, for changing an engine and getting back out on the race track was held by Junior Johnson and his guys in about 11 minutes. It was very much a practice in NASCAR in the early '90s to be able to change an engine -- get off the track and get back on the track -- in 15 minutes.
Jeff Gordon got squeezed into his pit box twice at Loudon and it cost him valuable track position. What is the rule on alignment in the pit box when entering and exiting?
Chesterfield, Mo.
Evernham: NASCAR rules state you cannot have the right front out of your pit box, but you can have the right rear out of your pit box. So it is very common practice that if you are pitting behind someone and he comes in on a pit stop after you do, and can't get into his pit box, he pits at an angle, it blocks you in.
Now, it's common courtesy to try to get into your pit box and not leave your car hanging out of it. But according to NASCAR rules you can have the right rear hanging out of your pit box.
What is the tape on race tires for?
Antwerp, Ohio
Evernham: That really helps the tire handler locate the wheel on the studs during the pit stop. When they're handing them a tire they're trying to put it on the wheel studs without having to turn it. So that tape is an alignment mark for them on a spot that they have picked out, whether that's a wheel stud or a spot on the car where they know that they have to hand that tire in so it can go directly on the wheel studs.

In the original code, there is "<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">" in the second line in the html code, it works fine until I added a bunch of <div> inside <td> with css. I spent the whole day debugging the problem and I found that it works fine if I replaced it with "<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">". Why? Does it do me any harm if I do that?
Thank you.

Is there any way to create an infrastructure wireless network without a router? In other words, is there some way to make a PC behave as a wireless router? Other PCs should be able to see this network as an access point network, not as an Ad-hoc one.
Look at HostAP
Yes you can.
As Peter suggested, look at HostAP. However, it requires a wifi card with specific capabilities. The wifi card needs to be able to run in Master mode, not just infrastructure/ad-hoc modes. Also, you will need to run some flavour of Linux on it.
Why not just use a WAP. Not all WAP's are also routers. Am I understanding your question correctly?

Merga has one other bit of philosophy to share, this one more endearing. His fingernails are trimmed except for that of the pinky finger on his left hand. "When I was a child, they were all long," he explained. "I keep this one long so that I remember my childhood and where I came from."

Defense Acquisitions:
DOD Wastes Billions of Dollars through Poorly Structured Incentives
GAO-06-409T: Published: Apr 5, 2006. Publicly Released: Apr 5, 2006.

With DOD spending over $200 billion annually to acquire products and services that include everything from spare parts to the development of major weapon systems, our numerous, large, and mounting fiscal challenges demand that DOD maximize its return on investment and provide the warfighter with needed capabilities at the best value for the taxpayer. In an effort to encourage defense contractors to perform in an innovative, efficient, and effective way, DOD gives its contractors the opportunity to collectively earn billions of dollars through monetary incentives known as award and incentive fees. Using these incentives properly--in concert with good acquisition practices--is a key to minimizing waste, maximizing value, and getting our military personnel what they need, when and where they need it. Congress asked GAO to testify on DOD's use of award and incentive fees and the role they play in the acquisition system. This statement highlights the risks of conducting business as usual and identifies the actions DOD needs to take to use these fees more effectively. DOD concurred or partially concurred with the seven recommendations GAO made in a previously issued report on award and incentive fees. GAO looks forward to seeing DOD turn these promised steps into actual policy and practice.
DOD's use of award and incentive fees is an issue at the nexus of two areas that GAO has designated "high risk" for DOD--contract management and weapon system acquisition. Contract management has been a long-standing business management challenge for DOD because it often cannot assure that it is using sound business practices to acquire the goods and services the warfighter needs. For weapon system acquisitions, the persistent and long-standing nature of acquisition problems has perhaps made a range of key decision makers complacent about cost growth, schedule delays, quantity reductions, and performance shortfalls. DOD's strategies for incentivizing its contractors, especially for weapon system development programs, reflect the challenges in these areas. DOD programs routinely engage in award-fee practices that do not hold contractors accountable for achieving desired outcomes and undermine efforts to motivate contractor performance, such as evaluating contractors on award-fee criteria that are not directly related to key acquisition outcomes (e.g., meeting cost and schedule goals and delivering desired capabilities to the warfighter); paying contractors a significant portion of the available fee for what award-fee plans describe as "acceptable, average, expected, good, or satisfactory" performance; and giving contractors at least a second opportunity to earn initially unearned or deferred fees. As a result, DOD has paid out an estimated $8 billion in award fees on contracts in GAO's study population, regardless of whether acquisition outcomes fell short of, met, or exceeded DOD's expectations. Despite paying billions of dollars, DOD has not compiled data or developed performance measures to evaluate the validity of its belief that award and incentive fees improve contractor performance and acquisition outcomes. These issues, along with those GAO has identified in DOD's acquisition and business management processes, present a compelling case for change. By implementing the recommendations GAO has made on award and incentive fees, DOD can improve incentives, increase transparency, and enhance accountability for the fees it pays. At the same time, by working more broadly to improve its acquisition practices, DOD can set the right conditions for getting better acquisition outcomes and making more efficient use of its resources in what is sure to be a more fiscally constrained environment.

DARIEN CENTER, N.Y. - Darien Lake Theme Park is getting ready to open its doors for a new season on Saturday after spending millions of dollars in upgrades over the winter.
It was first closed because an Iraq War veteran and double amputee, 29 year old Seargent James Hackemer, fell out of the ride and was killed.
The ride was closed a second time because a chain broke, stopping all cars on the track.
Local effort ranked 4th in nation in 2011
The National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC), in conjunction with United Way of Greater Niagara, AFL-CIO and the U.S. Postal Service, will conduct its annual food drive this Saturday, May 12, 2012. This is the largest single-day food drive in the nation.
Over the last 19 years, the NALC has collected over 1 billion pounds of food through this effort. In 2011, Western New York Branch collected 1.4 million pounds of food, ranking fourth in the nation. The Greater Niagara community played an important role in the local effort, collecting approximately 150,000 pounds of food. Twenty-nine local agencies benefit from this event, which provides food for needy individuals and families throughout Niagara County.
About two dozen Western New York men have signed on to shave their legs, don women's wear and ham it up to raise money for the American Cancer Society.
The second annual Relay for Life Peaches N Crème Fashion Show will be held Saturday, May 12, at the Historic Palace Theatre, 2 East Ave., Lockport. The show is being organized by Relay team Maurices Angels, and it features men volunteering to wear fashions donated by Maurices on Transit Road in Lockport.
Team Captain Anne LaSota said that the idea came about last year when teams were discussing fundraising ideas.
"We didn't have one and needed one quick," she said. "I looked at Cat Hair Brownies Captain Jay Zimmerman, who happens to be a friend of mine, and for some reason pictured him in a dress."
She ran her thought by her team, and members loved it.
"It took only a few days to round up 17 men that were ready willing and eager to dress like a woman," she said.
Beloved literature and TV character Thomas the Tank Engine is visiting the Medina Railroad Museum over the next two weekends. The largest train and toy museum in New York state is taking reservations over the phone, and on their website. The link is right here.
You can take a ride with Thomas. Train rides include story-telling and live entertainment.
Cool Gel 'n Cap LLC, the Elma-based company that produces a unique first aid hat for toddlers and young children, is thanking the Western New York community for its support by offering a limited-time discount on its Cool Gel 'n Cap product. Additionally, a portion of the proceeds from each sale will benefit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
Joel Thomas' official title at the Erie County SPCA was 'Wildlife Administrator and Veterinary Technician', a long title to be sure. But as titles so often do, it fails to even come close to describing Joel as a person.
He was a true renaissance man. Musician, environmentalist, author, husband and father. It seemed to those who knew him, Joel could do it all. And although he left us at far too early an age, his spirit will live on with the many people whose lives he touched.
Gina Browning was a close friend who worked with Joel for almost 20 years at the Erie County SPCA.
"He had a wonderful church family, his daughter, his wife, his son, he had an amazing family life too," says Browning. "Then you look at professionally here at the SPCA, all that he did. It wasn't just a job, all that he did to impact the lives of people, and especially the lives of wildlife here."
Here at 2 On Your Side, we recently announced our proud partnership with the Investigative Post, a non-profit investigative reporting center right here in Western New York.
It's run by former Buffalo News investigative reporter Jim Heaney.
Heaney stopped by the Information Center to discuss the latest on plans for the Outer Harbor and negotiations with the Bills stadium lease.

Today's post is for the great James Stewart Blogathon. �Hosted by an excellent �blog that I enjoy reading, Classic Film and TV Cafe. �Be sure to click on the provided link to read other bloggers' posts about Jimmy Stewart and his various �acting �roles. � � � When I saw that Classic Film and TV Cafe was going to host this blogathon, I thought for a while as to which �role of Stewart's to write about. �I decided on �The Shootist, a �movie that came in the latter days of Stewart's movie acting. � The Shootist, originally a novel written by Glendon Swarthout �and published in 1975, was sought out by Paramount Pictures and Dino De Laurentiis Company to be made into a movie. �The author's son, Miles, and Scott Hale wrote the screenplay. �Don Siegel was tapped to direct. � The movie's plot is about an aging gunfighter, John Bernard, J.B. Books, who learns he has �cancer. �He also learns that despite liking this new town of Carson City, Nevada to live in, he only has 2 months at the most before the cancer will kill him. �Word gets out that the famous Shootist, Books, is in Carson City and old foes and friends appear, all wanting to cash in on the fame that surrounds this dying gunman or to just get final revenge. �It is Books' dilemma, how to die with dignity amidst the turmoil that is happening around him due to these malcontents and fortune-seekers who are looking for him in Carson City.
Who better to portray the aging gunslinger than John Wayne, the most famous of Western heroes in film? �In 1964, Wayne had surgery to remove a cancerous lung. �Now, in 1976, when The Shootist was made, it would become �an ironic fact that Wayne would act the part of the dying gunslinger, �and he himself �would also die of cancer in 1979. Wayne had to lobby for the role of J.B. Books since the producers originally wanted George C. Scott! �Wayne did get the part and then proceeded to request that former cast members of other films he had made be cast in this film. �He specifically requested James Stewart, Lauren Bacall, Richard Boone, and John Carradine.
James Stewart, by the 1960′s, was taking on more paternalistic roles. �He had played opposite Wayne �in another great Western, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, released in 1962. �Although the two actors didn't run around in the same circle of friends, they both admired each other's abilities in conveying characters on screen and had a great respect for one another. Stewart, in The Shootist, plays Dr. Hostetler who J. B. Books makes an appointment with in order to get a second opinion about his back pains. �The clip of that scene can be viewed here. �It is a warm and friendly scene of two old aquaintances re-meeting one another again. �Then the cold, factual Medical Man emerges as Dr. Hostetler gives Books the bad news: the back pains are a symptom of cancer. �Then there is more bad news, that Books only has 2 more months to live. �The doctor tells Books that when it's time, medicines can be given to him to help ease the pain.
Stewart's voice is still strong in this film, not quavery as one might expect with an aged actor. �The hair is white, the movements of his body as he walks across a room or sits in a chair are slower than that of a younger man, but it doesn't distract one iota from his role as Dr. Hostetler.
The Shootist is a great ensemble piece. �All of the cast brought their A-Game to this movie. �Lauren Bacall is Mrs. Bond Rogers, the widowed landlady who rents a room to Books. �She tells him that she doesn't abide with guns, and yet there is a growing fondness between her and Books. � Ron Howard(former child actor, teen actor, and now movie director) plays Gillom Rogers, son of the landlady. �He looks up to Books because he is a famous gunslinger and Books becomes a mentor/father figure for Gillom. � � Richard Boone is Mike Sweeney, out to kill Books in order to get revenge for a brother's death. �Hugh O'Brien is Jack Pulford, �a gambler and keen shot who wouldn't mind taking Books down in order to promote himself. � Sheree North is an old flame, Serepta, who shows up hoping to get Books to marry her so �later she can have a book written by a ghost writer about her life with Books and make money off of his notoriety and death. �John Carradine is Carson City's undertaker Hezekiah Beckem and he pesters Books about having a headstone made. �Scatman Crothers is Moses Brown, �the livery worker who cares for Books's horse. �Richard Lenz is Dan Dobkins the local newspaper reporter, wanting to write sensationalized versions of Books's killings. �Harry Morgan is Marshall Thibido, who is anxious to have Books leave Carson City.
The Shootist is available via Amazon to either buy or view through Instant Rent. �It is also available through TCM's Shop. �To close out my post, here are a few more shots of John Wayne and James Stewart, from The Shootist.

See you later: Folks swamp a Williamsburg watering hole
The facade of this new East Williamsburg bar slightly resembles a funeral home, black awning stretching across the sidewalk, but the aura inside is not as chilly. This welcoming neighborhood joint offers homey, good-time vibes set against a slick veneer of Manhattan-club-like panache sprinkled with random touches of bohemian artinessWarhol movie posters and gravity-defying mannequins hanging from the walls. Dark wooden booths (with Star Trek-ish pink-purple lighting ensconced below) run along the perimeter of the spacious bar, making you feel like you're in an upscale pizza parlorand huzzah! Pizza they gots. A wood-burning brick oven continually cranks out tasty, munchy-satisfying pies on the cheap: $4 for a nice-sized eight slicer. The extremely friendly staff focuses on community and camaraderie with free pizza on Monday nights and a comedy show on Tuesdays in the cozy tiki-esque back room. This gator's more about the art of knocking back a few with friends over a game of pool, darts, or Big Buck Hunter II (hell, yeah!) while listening to the finely curated jukebox (whoo-hoo! T-Rex, Christian Death, OutKast) than the haughty pursuit of froufrou cocktails. But hey, they do have a great selection of beers and liquors, andconsidering Williamsburg's Soho-vibing tendenciesat affordable prices: pints of Brooklyn Lager, $3.50; and Yuengling, $3. Happy hour gets you a dollar off. If you're looking for an inexpensive dinner and a low-key meeting spot for friends in the 'Burg (without the attitude or hipster overkill), this li'l reptile's a good catch.

It is no secret that districts are struggling in the current economic climate. They are looking to cut costs every way they can.
One area worth exploring in cost-cutting debates is energy. With energy costs rising—to say nothing of the environmental impact it is becoming more and more clear that our current sources of energy can have—districts need to take a closer look at how they are using energy.
Louisiana's St. Tammany Parish Public Schools did. And as a result, this growing district, which currently has 72 facilities and serves about 36,000 students, has saved about six million dollars in utility costs over the past four and a half years. They've put that money back into schools, providing resources to help the district maintain its reputation as one of the best in the state. And they've received national and state recognition for their work.
How did they do it? A comprehensive energy management program. And when we say comprehensive, we mean COMPREHENSIVE. The program includes everything from customized reports for principals on their school's energy performance (generated by the district's two energy management tracking systems) to an energy awareness curriculum correlated to the state's grade-level expectations. Automated lighting and temperature controls to daily reminders of energy saving behaviors in the form of posters, stickers and morning announcements. And much, much more.
Of course, in a time of fiscal crisis, districts may not be able to afford the upfront costs of some of the software and automation that St. Tammany now has. But it is important to note that St. Tammany started this program right after Hurricane Katrina, at a time when they were unable to do more than tell principals to turn off the lights and set thermostats to the lowest possible setting in the winter and the highest in the summer. But those behaviors alone saved the district 7% in energy costs.
We recently spoke to the district's supervisor of administration, John Swang. He told us more about the program and its results. Below are some highlights of our conversation. Or read the full edited transcript.
Public School Insights: Why did St. Tammany Parish decide to start a comprehensive energy management program?
Swang: About four and a half years ago, our energy bills were skyrocketing. At one point, the cost of energy doubled in three years. We were sending a lot of our resources to the utility companies. It was no different than what the rest of the country was experiencing—it was a kind of runaway situation. And still, to a large extent, the cost of energy is increasing and probably will continue to do so.
But at that point the St. Tammany Parish School Board began talking about getting control of ...
It is fast becoming a received truth that teachers, teachers, teachers make all the difference in a child's academic performance. But what if analysis of students' scores on state tests threw that belief into question? It may have in L.A.
That's not the impression you'll get from the recent L.A. Times story on teacher quality. The Times used student test data to estimate 6,000 L.A. teachers' relative effectiveness. The story suggests that it's all about the teachers:
Year after year, one fifth-grade class learns far more than the other down the hall. The difference has almost nothing to do with the size of the class, the students, or their parents.
It's their teachers.
But blogger Corey Bunje Bower had a look at the report behind the Times analysis, and he drew another conclusion. The Times notes that the best teachers aren't all crammed into the "best" schools. Bower weighs the implications of that finding:
Teacher quality varies widely within schools--just as with test scores, there's far more variation within schools than across schools. ("Teachers are slightly more effective in high- than in low-API schools, but the gap is small, and the variance across schools is large"). Which means that the highest performing schools don't have all the best teachers and the lowest performing schools don't have all the worst teachers. Which means that something other than teacher quality is causing schools to be low and high performing. Which means we should probably focus our attention on more than just teacher quality.
Of course teachers are very important. Why would anyone teach if teachers didn't matter? But should we put ALL our eggs in the teacher basket?
Other bloggers have raised strong objections to the L.A. Times piece. Can we trust the tests? Can we trust "value-added" analysis of test scores? Is it right to publish names and even pictures ...
An article in yesterday's New York Times reminds us that the common definition of "achievement gap" is quite limited. We usually define it in terms of proficiency on state tests. (In other words, how many kids passed?) We seldom define it in terms of absolute performance on those tests. (How well did kids do?) You can raise the cut score on the state test and watch your gaps widen overnight, but your absolute achievement gap won't have changed a bit. That's what happened in New York State.
It's an object lesson for every state in the country and a reminder that we always need to keep both definitions well in mind. ...
A couple of days ago NCES released a new report on teacher attrition and mobility. Among many interesting findings, the report shows a 20-year trend—the percent of public school teachers leaving the teaching profession is steadily rising. The report, which is based on the 2008-09 Teacher Follow-Up Survey, doesn't go into the reasons behind this trend. But thanks to some of the recent debates here on Public School Insights, I wondered how it related to the average age of our public school teachers. It could be due to the aging of the workforce—the number of teachers retiring. Or maybe the young, TFA-type teachers—in the profession for two years and then out—are playing a role.
So I went back to an earlier version of the survey, the May 1994 report based on the 1991-92 Teacher Follow-Up Survey. Of the six such surveys over the last 20 or so years, this one showed the lowest percent of teachers leaving the profession—5.1% that year (compared to ...
Eagle-eyed Larry Ferlazzo found this modest proposal in Slate Magazine: Fire 80 percent of new teachers every two years. The authors of the study Slate describes admit that their idea might not be practical. (Larry's response: "Ya think?") They see it as a "thought experiment." But here's my question: Could such thought experiments, like Frankenstein, overwhelm their creators and wreak havoc in the wider world?
Such experiments don't tend to stay in the laboratory. They get picked up by the papers and start to change the way people across the country think about teaching and teachers. Papers like Slate admire the bravado of the wonks and economists who float extreme ideas--the bolder, the better--and they love the crazy headlines. But they don't always put things into context.
Slate offers a case in point. It praises Teach for America but fails to note that TFA produces only 4,500 new teachers a year--a drop in the bucket. The article claims that great teachers are "born, not made" and then says nothing at all about staff development.
The Slate article doesn't ask a very important question. Who would want to go into teaching if you have an 80 percent chance of getting the axe in two years? I can see the logic of raising the bar almost impossibly high if we manage to make teaching one of the most alluring jobs in America. Give teachers movie star status, support them in their jobs, and make the job as rewarding as ...
Young teachers aren't buying it, either. That's one of the main findings from a recent Public Agenda poll of teachers from three generations. "Generation Y" teachers are very skeptical of ideas that dominate current debates on school reform. This finding does not bode well for the reform agenda. It suggests that policy makers and pundits may be alienating the very people who must carry out the reforms.
The poll results tell us that resistance to some of the big reform ideas is by no means confined to old union stalwarts. The younger folk don't believe test scores should be the main determinant of teacher pay. They believe it should be easier to remove bad teachers, but they don't think tenure should go the way of the dodo.
It's at least as interesting to note what the young 'uns do want. They want staff development, help with discipline, constructive feedback on their teaching, and the chance to collaborate with their peers. In other words, they want the support and the conditions they need to do their jobs well. Those issues seem largely absent from national discussions of school reform.
Another finding of the Public Agenda poll struck me: Young teachers plan to stick around. Almost seven in ten planned to stay in classroom for more than a decade. The notion that those kids ...
Dubious school turnaround outfits are rushing in where some more experienced groups fear to tread, The New York Times reports. Of course, we can expect this sort of thing to happen whenever speculators and pitchmen smell billions of federal dollars. But the hype that attends much of the talk about school reform can make matters worse.
The uncomfortable truth is that no single turnaround strategy is a sure bet. A recent review (PDF) of major turnaround models found that none rested on strong evidence. The research base remains thin.
That has not stopped quite a few people from insisting that, to save a struggling school, you have to start from scratch. You have to give the staff its walking papers if you want to see big changes, the theory goes. Powerful people often invoke the Harvard School of Excellence in Chicago as proof of this strategy. After the Academy for Urban School Leadership (AUSL) cleaned house at this elementary school, test scores soared.
Few have paid much attention to the Chicago public schools whose gains have equaled or surpassed Harvard's. Cardenas and Cather elementary schools were among the most improved schools in the city, and neither school fired staff to jump start its reform efforts.
Cardenas and Cather are among eight schools working with a Chicago non-profit called Strategic Learning Initiatives (SLI). Those schools have made big strides since 2007 without replacing staff. And their turnaround efforts have cost a fraction of what the restart model costs. None of the SLI schools has enjoyed the kind of praise heaped on Harvard. (For more information on SLI's work, see our interview with SLI president John Simmons).
Harvard has earned the praise, but the uneven media coverage of school reform efforts offers a very skewed vision of our turnaround options. Indeed, the New York Times piece on turnarounds implicitly endorses the restart model. It quotes someone from AUSL who calls ...
Should teachers be free agents who take their skills to the highest bidder? Or should we encourage them to stay put in stable teams where they work in concert to improve their students' performance?
A thoughtful reader of this blog came out in favor of the former vision. Let great teachers take their talents on the road. Then let the market decide their value.
A different vision appeared in yesterday's New York Times. In Boston, the Times reports, struggling schools are hiring entire teams of experienced teachers to ground their turnaround efforts. The principal of one such school said the strategy "had provided such a strong core of teachers to anchor the school that it helped him recruit other experienced teachers. And it has allowed him to take a chance" on new teachers.
I prefer this vision to the free agent vision. The best schools I've seen--wealthy or poor--have strong teams of great teachers in place, and those teams are more than the sum of their parts. I've also seen excellent departments unravel when they lose their core of experienced teachers. Even platoons of great new teachers couldn't quickly knit those departments ...
Earlier this week the California Department of Education awarded (though only temporarily) $315 million in School Improvement Grants to over 100 schools in 31 districts. These grants are designed to reform persistently low-achieving schools, so this is great news, right? Over 100 low-performing schools have a better chance to improve.
The problem is that California identified 188 persistently low-achieving schools back in March, which means that not all the schools that need this money got it.
Now, this was a competitive grant program. Districts containing schools identified as persistently low-achieving applied for the funds to reform them, knowing that the state would decide whom to fund. So we knew going in there would be winners and losers.
The kicker is how they chose the winners:
[S]tate officials gave priority to those [districts] that requested grants to help turn around all campuses on the list. Districts that didn't request money for each of their lowest-achieving schools were placed behind others for funding, even if the other districts didn't score as highly ...
Is it any wonder that veteran teachers feel a bit threatened these days? They keep hearing the message that they're so darn expensive. Unless their students' test scores get better and better every year, many pundits are ready to dismiss them as a mere liability on the books. That kind of rhetoric can have a corrosive effect on the teaching profession. The notion that teaching is a young person's game seems jarring in a profession where the demand for new teachers can quickly outstrip supply.
We often hear that a teacher's effectiveness, as measured by test scores, tends to level off after five or so years. Should we be surprised by that finding? Imagine the career of a good teacher. If by her third year on the job her students are showing one year of academic growth for one year in the classroom, what should we expect from her 25 years later? Ten years of growth? Should she be sending her third graders off to Harvard?
Or should her income growth stop when her students' value-added gains level off? If we use value-added measures alone, it's hard to imagine how a good teacher could get better and better for years on end. And if years of experience really don't mean anything, then great young teachers should expect their salaries to stay put after they're 30.
Some people will tell you that income stagnation is just fine. Pay people what they're worth in test scores, and let them leave for some other job when their earnings plateau. One commentator writes that "we can compress the salary schedule so that 5-year veterans and 25-year veterans get paid about ...

Oxford Playhouse, Fri July 11th - Sat July 12th 2008
Until last night, I am sad to say that I was a Kit and the Widow virgin. In the theatrical sense, of course. I have followed them on radio and television for as many years as I can remember but this was my first exposure to them live and in the flesh. And I have to say that I really shouldnt have waited. They are as near to comic song perfection as you are likely to find anywhere in the world at the moment. The natural inheritors of the traditions of Messers Flanders and Swann, they inhabit that niche of satirical entertainment that should never be allowed to die out.
This tour is a celebration of the fact that they have both reached the age of 50. Age has not dimmed their comic timing nor their ability to hone in on their targets be they the airport hand luggage regulations, the horrors of Guantanamo Bay or the seductive teasings of Nigella Lawson. They are both gifted musicians in their own right (though I dont think Kit should give up singing for the violin) and they have a warmth that fills the theatre. There is as there has always been a large element of camp in what they do. Everything is always done in a very playful way but I enjoy the fact that there is always an edge to their humour.
It always helps to be well-versed in both the classics and popular culture to get the most out of Kit and the Widow with songs exposing Edith Sitwell as the godmother of modern rap and Andrew Lloyd Webber as a serial nicker of tunes. Erudition and a keen wit are always on display. There are also moments of genuine emotion punctuating the show in particular Rockabye a song of a father seeking divine protection for his daughter is a moment that will stay with me for a long time.
Kit and the Widow are, in the own small way, a national treasure in the same vein as Stephen Fry, Fascinating Aida and Sandi Toksvig (who can almost be forgiven for her Danish roots). In an era when comedy writing can tend towards the lowest common denominator, such intelligence and panache is to be cherished and celebrated. Let us hope that they return to Oxford in the very near future.

When I click an e-mail address in Adobe Reader X, an Outlook e-mail window opens, even though Thunderbird is my standard e-mail client and assigned to the
mailto: protocol.
How can I make Adobe Reader X open e-mail links in Thunderbird?
I'm using Windows 7. How to Change the Email Client in Adobe Reader doesn't seem to apply to this version of Adobe Reader, I don't see the drop-down menu of step 6.

"Lenin is said to have declared that the best way to destroy the Capitalist System was to debauch the currency. By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens....Lenin was certainly right. There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose." ~ John Maynard Keynes
Making College More Expensive: The Unintended Consequences of Federal Tuition Aid
"As Congress debates the reauthorization of the Higher Education Act, it should heed Friedrich Hayek's warning that democracy is "peculiarly liable, if not guided by accepted common principles, to produce over-all results that nobody wanted." One result of the federal government's student financial aid programs is higher tuition costs at our nation's colleges and universities. Basic economic theory suggests that the increased demand for higher education generated by HEA will have the effect of increasing tuitions. The empirical evidence is consistent with that—federal loans, Pell grants, and other assistance programs result in higher tuition for students at our nation's colleges and universities."

The Government should not be paying for or assisting in higher education. If you want a college degree then you should be willing to work for it, for working to accrue the funds to pay the price of the education adds incentive to do well and now squander away the academic years.
My wife worked at a University and shared a story about one young woman who enrolled only long enough to get the money then quit to party. I don't know what kind of loan, assistance or grant this was but for some reason it was paid directly to her. I know this is not the case in many assistance programs or grants, but it just happened that this one was.
