I really enjoy these little talks we share. In this video is a little fabrication, maintenance, comparison and assembly. Un-boxings, cleanup, break-fix... Variety! You know... The stuff that keeps happening as you wrap up any build. It's not a longblock until it has manifolds, and a turbo build has a few more things than just that in order to make it complete. My attention has now turned towards preparing the chassis and accessories for installation and I promise there will be more involved videos following this one for the hardcore auto techs. Whether you're watching or wrenching on this one, all this stage does is create anxiety for wanting to hurry up and finish the install, but don't rush. Do it right!

What About the Blocks?
According to our survey, 28 percent of respondents' room blocks increased from 2011 to 2012, 51 percent stayed the same, and 21 percent were reduced in size. (See table 1.)
For 2013, the numbers are roughly the same with 27 percent projecting an increase, 62 percent saying their blocks will stay the same, and 11 percent anticipating smaller blocks. (See table 2.) Readers are more optimistic for 2014, with 34 percent expecting blocks to increase, 53 percent staying the same, and 13 percent decreasing in size.
"What we have been seeing from the convention and visitors bureau side is planners becoming more risk averse and blocking fewer rooms," said Christine Shimasaki, CMP, Destination Marketing Association International's managing director at EmpowerMINT, DMAI's site selection database, during a recent MeetingsNet housing webinar.
For some, it's a "once bitten, twice shy" scenario. "Many were hurt financially during the downturn and hit with high attrition," says Susie Townsend, senior vice president of visitor experience at Visit Indy, citing feedback from a recent customer advisory board meeting. And many are still wary of an unstable economy. She's seen blocks that are 10 to 25 percent smaller even with the same or higher attendance. Lisa Nguyen, director of event management and registration at onPeak, a housing service, says her clients are beginning to increase their blocks, but in more strategic ways, paying more attention to what attendees want and where they want to stay.
During a city's high-demand periods, some hotels want to offer smaller blocks because they know they can get higher rates from transient business and other guests. In other words, the hotels can take advantage of "compression," according to Shimasaki.
Booking Outside the Block
"As much as things have changed, some things have not. There is still a lot of activity that goes on outside of the contracted room block, especially when you are contracting with multiple hotels," said Shimasaki. It often depends on the city you have selected and the time period, she added.
The American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery has about 53 percent of its attendees booking through the official housing block, said Paula Schneider, director of meetings and conventions, ASCRS. But according to its post-show survey, the association found that a little over half of those who didn't go through the official housing company booked online.
The use of third-party online sites like Expedia took off during the recession, and the trend hasn't gone away, despite the return to a more robust economy and stronger attendance. "As people become more tech-savvy and are carrying computers around in their pockets, they are booking online and looking for the best dollar value," said Brian Rubin, client services director of exhibitions and conferences at Penton, and a panelist for the MeetingsNet housing webinar. A post-show survey for one Penton show, WasteExpo, held in New Orleans, revealed that 16 percent of attendees booked through online sites; for Penton's International Wireless Communication Expo, held in Las Vegas, it was 17 percent.
"People tend to do a search of all the third-party sites before they make a commitment," says Nguyen. Her company includes a "lowest rate" clause in its hotel contracts to say that the hotels within the block can't offer lower rates over the contracted block dates.
Planners responding to the MeetingsNet/association survey listed the top three reasons they see delegates booking outside the block: 1) better rates found elsewhere; 2) booking at the last minute or too late for the block; 3) the delegate's desired room-block hotel is sold out. The first two were also among the top three responses planners gave when asked why exhibitors book outside the block. ("Mandated by corporate travel policy" was the third reason.)
Better Late than Never?
The survey supports a trend Nguyen has seen emerge in the past five years—many attendees are waiting until the last minute to book their rooms. She notes a variety of reasons for the shift: They could be facing a longer budget-approval process, tighter schedules, or they could be holding out for a lower rate, knowing that in the final days before a conference, hotels often release available rooms to online companies at a discount. For example, about 7 percent of WasteExpo attendees said they booked outside the block because they came in at the last minute.
Going forward, however, it could be difficult to find better rates without staying farther out than anticipated, as occupancy rises and demand increases. "It's supply and demand," says Townsend. "If the city is open, great. If it's not and demand is higher, it's more difficult."

GAO-13-248: Published: Feb 14, 2013. Publicly Released: Feb 14, 2013.
While the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and the Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) share certain key programmatic responsibilities, they also have programmatic responsibilities unique to each agency.

|Re: Servlet won't load
|Thu, 03 Feb 2005 20:30:02 GMT
Hi, I've got an application which runs fine for me, but which won't run on my hosting company's server which is running Tomcat 5.5.4 on Solaris. I've got a jsp page which has a link to a servlet. When I click the link, I get a 404 error. Tomcat doesn't attempt to load and run the servlet, it just think's it's a bad link. I was able to create a tiny web app which illustrates the problem. It's at www.damaru.com/webapp I've checked that the mapping is correct in web.xml. This runs fine on my linux box with tomcat 5.0, and I also tested it on a win2k box using tomcat 5.5.4. The strange thing is that I have another web app which is running fine on that server. I suspect that the hosting company has got something strange in their global config file, but I have not found anything myself. thanks for any hints Michael Davis --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: email@example.com

Talk:18 foot dinghy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
|WikiProject Sailing
|(Rated Start-class, High-importance)
|WikiProject Olympics
|(Rated Start-class, Low-importance)
After investigations, I found some boat who was perhaps the famous unknown 18 foot dinghy of 1920 Olympics. As at this time she seems to be one of the few Monotype (one-design), 18 foot long, dinguy, build in UK, it is quite possible. External links : [1], Estuary One Design Class : [2], Essex Yacht Club's One-Design Class boat designed by Morgan Giles, Shannon One Design [3], [4]. But no site is talking about Olympic games 1920, probably nobody was really concerned at this time (only one boat at Olympics!) --Barbetorte (talk) 17:34, 19 April 2010 (UTC)PS : I think EOD 1919 design was the 18 foot dinghy for O. 1920.

Advertisement - story continues below
One of the less admirable tactics of Ferguson protesters has been their assault on the character of the prosecutor in the case.
Now comes news that might be unexpected to many of then protestors.
Denunciations of the performance of attorney Robert McCulloch, the prosecutor for St. Louis County in the grand jury case against Officer Darren Wilson, have come from people like Al Sharpton and Eric Holder.
Advertisement - story continues below
The general consensus, from people who never went into the grand jury room, is that McCulloch somehow pulled his punches in his prosecution of the officer, allowing him to remain unpunished for the shooting of Michael Brown.
The intimation in all of these rants against McCulloch is the unspoken allegation that he's part of a conservative cabal who wanted to defer justice on the Ferguson matter because of racial bias.
Therein lies the problem. See it turns out that McCulloch is a registered Democrat (H/T: TPNN).
Advertisement - story continues below
That's right, in spite of all the Democratic crowing about the prosecutor, the fact is that he's from the alleged party of political correctness and tolerance.
The Democrats refuse to believe that the facts are what determined the grand jury's decision, so they're willing to impugn anyone, including one of their own, to further a narrative of racial divide.
And the media is more than happy to come along as a willing accomplice. One of the few stories that mention McCulloch's political affiliation is one from CBS News, which only bothers to mention it in the eighth paragraph.
Advertisement - story continues below
In all fairness, maybe McCulloch's political affiliation should be evidence that he's a racist.
Segregationist governors like Mississippi's George Wallace, Arkansas' Orville Faubus and Georgia's Lester Maddox? All Democrats.
The Ku Klux Klan and Jim Crow? Both venerable Democratic institutions.
The Senator who said that "light-skinned" Barack Obama had "no discernable Negro dialect?" Harry Reid, a Democrat.
The politicians who have told the black community that they need the government's assistance to rise above their station in life, as they lack the necessary skills to do it on their own? Democrats again.
The Democratic Party is now home to the nouveau racists, men like Sharpton and Holder who would have no viable career if they could not use race as a dividing factor.
They're the ones who can't stand the facts on Ferguson and are willing to throw one of their own under the bus for it.
Please like and share on Facebook and Twitter if you agree the media should be more forthcoming about the Ferguson prosecutor's political affiliation.

Capture human behavior anywhere
Tobii Pro Glasses 2 is the world's smallest, most natural, and easy-to-use wearable eye tracker. The Real-World Mapping tool, integrated into the Tobii Pro Lab, dramatically reduces the time needed to analyze data. It is also possible to synchronize the eye tracking data with other biometric data streams.
Pro Glasses 2 is designed for use in the real world. Our design team created the ultra-lightweight and unobtrusive head unit to make sure test persons feel comfortable and act naturally anywhere. The head unit weighs only 45 grams.
Live View. Instant insights.
Live View allows researchers to see exactly what a person is looking at, wirelessly and in real time, and therefore gain immediate and actionable insights. It's easy to use and affordable, yet it's a very valuable research tool —ideal for many types of studies.
Automated real-world mapping
A new real-world mapping tool integrated into the Tobii Pro Lab software streamlines the logging process and dramatically reduces the time needed to analyze data recorded with Pro Glasses 2. It intelligently aggregates and maps data from eye tracking videos to snapshots, so you can immediately start visualizing the quantified data or begin extracting statistics.
True View
Capturing genuine human behavior is quite a challenge. To examine viewing behavior, including peripheral viewing, that is as natural as possible, you need to offer the respondent a completely unobstructed view. We call it True View.
"I see Tobii Pro Glasses 2 as a huge step towards fast and reliable in-store attention testing with similar possibilities that Tobii X series gives in the lab environment."
Sync with a broad spectrum of physiological data
Synchronize eye tracking data from Pro Glasses 2 with a broad spectrum of physiological data, including EEG, NIRS, skin conductance, motion detection, respiration rate, and heart rate. Get the highest level of sync with very low latency and still keep your entire solution very portable. Pro Glasses 2 provides the unique ability to use a hardware sync without having to carry a laptop with you.
Supreme data quality
Tobii Pro Glasses 2 is designed with unprecedented eye tracking quality for valid research. The system uses Tobii's proprietary 3D eye model technology which extends all the popular Tobii advantages from remote eye trackers into the domain of wearable eye trackers:
Another benefit of Tobii's proprietary technology is slippage compensation in case the head unit moves slightly on the wearer. By combining this slippage compensation technology with the sampling rate of 50 or 100 Hz, researchers will be able to collect more data with even higher validity.
"I am happy to see sampling frequencies rise for eye-tracking glasses. Wearable eye tracking at 100 Hz will give researchers more flexibility for data filtering (noise reduction) or more reliable event detection using velocity-based algorithms. The accelerometer and gyroscope in Tobii Pro Glasses 2 promise to improve event detection during the rotation and translation of the head in real environments."
Efficient workflows
Our focus on user-centric design has resulted in ease of use and efficient workflows in every detail. Quick calibration and system-guided procedures make it easy for anyone to start using the system with little prior training. The system tracks a vast majority of the population which helps reduce field time and overall research projects costs.
"We see Tobii Pro Glasses 2 and its modern eye tracking technology as a future standard in modern QA teams to improve the overall quality of game experiences."
Head unit
Eye tracking glasses capture what the subject sees and record subject comments. The head unit weighs only 45 grams, is discreet and provides maximum freedom of movement for the test participant to accommodate genuine human behavior.
Recording unit
The recording unit records eye tracking data and saves the data to an SD card. This pocket-sized unit allows the test participant to move around unrestricted.
Controller software
Control and run your Tobii Pro Glasses 2 study with easy-to-use software, optimized to run on any Windows 8 tablet or Windows 7, 8, or 10 computer. Using a tablet makes it easy to manage data collection in the field and to view the data, live as it's happening. The Tobii Pro Glasses Controller software enables:
Analysis software
For researchers who want to look beyond live viewing, Tobii Pro Lab provides powerful tools for post-analysis. The software is tailored to satisfy the needs of wearable eye tracking research, including aggregation, interpretation and visualization of data.

|Multiple Server Instances: Uninstalling an application does not remove the entry from config.xml of other server instances
|Thu, 13 Aug 2009 15:50:13 GMT
Hi, I have a setup based on geronimo 2.1.3 and I have created another geronimo instance from existing one using the multiple server instance feature. I had set the following set GERONIMO_OPTS=-Dorg.apache.geronimo.server.name=instance2 and was able to start another instance with a portOffset of 1. Later I deployed a WAR application to one of geronimo instance and can see the application in started state in the instance I have deployed the application and stopped in another instance. I can see an entry in the config.xml as well for both the instances. Another observation in this case is that config.xml for instance2 gets the entry only when I access the admin console WAR portlet for this instance. Later tried undeploying the application. Application is removed from the server repository, application entry is removed from config.xml of the instance I have deployed the application. However the application entry in config.xml of instance2 still remains and is not removed. Just tried debugging this issue and found that LocalAttributeManager.java shows the values with relative to g home for example "attributeFile <g_home>\var\config\config.xml". However it never suggests any value relative to <g_home/instance2>. ServerOverride.java also works out relative to g_home. Any suggestions on how shall I proceed with this issue will be really helpful. Thanks Ashish

LOS ANGELES -- Russell Martin has received a good number of curtain calls at Dodger Stadium during his brief big league career. None of them were like this one, however.
Martin tied a career high with four RBI despite getting a home run call reversed, and Los Angeles beat the Milwaukee Brewers 5-1 Wednesday night as Brad Penny stranded six runners in scoring position through seven scoreless innings.
In the final meeting of the season between the two division leaders, a bench-clearing incident took place in the bottom of the fifth. But no punches were thrown and order was quickly restored.
Third-base umpire Sam Holbrook ruled that Martin's towering drive down the left-field line was a home run -- then called it foul after conferring with his three partners following an argument with Brewers manager Ned Yost.
"It's tough for those umpires to pick the ball up like that," Yost said. "From my angle, it looked like it hooked in front of the pole. I just walked out there. I didn't run, I didn't go crazy. I just said. 'I think you missed it. Can you get some help?' He said, 'Sure.' I think every umpire wants to get the call right. It was a tough call."
Martin, already back in the dugout after getting high-fives from his teammates, went back to the plate. Reliever Carlos Villanueva's next pitch was a fastball that buzzed over his head.
"I wasn't really sure if he was throwing at me," Martin said. "I mean, you never really know. I know he's got better command than that. So if he was trying to hit me, then he would have hit me, I think. There's a difference between throwing at you and just making a statement, I guess."
First-base coach Mariano Duncan didn't see it that way.
"For me to play the game for a while and now be a coach, I know exactly when somebody throws at somebody intentionally. He tried to show up Russell Martin and intimidate him," Duncan said. "Russell's the best player on our team right now, and we've got to do the best we can to protect every player on our team."
Martin drew a walk, glared at Villanueva on his way to first base, then said something to first baseman Prince Fielder. The real acrimony began when Duncan started jawing back and forth with someone in the Milwaukee dugout -- whom he later identified as Brewers first-base coach Ed Sedar -- and was held back by the 262-pound Fielder while the dugouts and bullpens emptied.
"He was the first guy I saw, but all of those guys were yelling at Russell because after he walked because he looked at the pitcher and made some comment," Duncan said. "That's when I started yelling, and then I heard Prince Fielder tell me to back off.
"I've got a great relationship with Fielder," Duncan added. "I remember him when he was 14 years old and I was playing with his dad in New York, so I can't believe that he was acting like that to me. But he knows that if he hit a home run that was questionable like that, then he came back to the plate and the pitcher threw a ball like that at him, I'm pretty sure that he would go out there and fight him -- because I know his attitude."
Penny (6-1) rebounded nicely from his worst outing of the season, scattering six hits after giving up eight runs over five innings in a 9-1 loss against the Angels last Friday at Anaheim. The right-hander struck out four, walked two and lowered his ERA to 2.26.
Chris Capuano (5-3) lost his third consecutive start, allowing four runs and eight hits over four innings with no walks and four strikeouts. The left-hander has given up 14 runs in 13 1/3 innings since pitching eight scoreless innings in a 5-0 win against Washington on May 7.
"He's kind of fighting his command," Yost said. "He's not making good pitches in big situations. He labored through the whole four innings. They outplayed us and outpitched us. We didn't do anything exceptionally well."
Martin cleared the bases with a double to the gap in right-center. Luis Gonzalez followed with a single after working the count to 3-2 against Capuano, who threw 32 pitches in the inning.
Martin is 7-for-11 against Capuano with a homer and seven RBI.
"Some guys you see the ball well off of, and he's just one of those guys I feel comfortable against when I'm at the plate," Martin said. "I'm sure he doesn't want to hear that."
- RHP Brett Tomko, 1-5 with a 6.28 ERA, has been demoted to the bullpen after giving up five runs and eight hits in Monday's loss to Milwaukee. LHP Hong-Chi Kuo is the likely candidate to replace him in the rotation the next time the team needs a fifth starter, June 2 at Pittsburgh.
- Wednesday marked exactly five years since the day the Dodgers tied a franchise record with nine home runs against the Brewers at Milwaukee -- four of them by Shawn Green to tie a major league record.

Recently awarded 2013's word of the year by the esteemed Oxford Dictionary, the term "selfie" exploded into pop culture during the last decade as a moniker for categorizing self-portraits. It appears in our everyday conversations, social media feeds and now even various forms of advertising. Athletic superstars Kobe Bryant and Lionel Messi come together once again, this time for Turkish Airlines, to one-up each other in an extreme game of selfie tag complete with underwater cams and photo-bombs.

Perfect in every way.
We stayed for a month at this condo and couldn't have been any happier. From the moment we were greeted by the friendly gate attendant and the units property manager to check in, our trip was off to a perfect start. This unit is hands down the best in the complex and it quickly felt like our home away from home. Perfectly situated on the first floor, the unit is easy to get to from the front gate and easy to get to the beach access gate. The kitchen has everything you could want for cooking at home. The beds and the pillows were comfortable. The unit was very spacious, clean and appointed with beautiful furniture. The glass sliding glass door system that frame the garden side of the unit completely slide open to create an open aired living space as well as make the units living space much larger, as the terrace becomes part of the living room. From the the terrace you can walk out to the enormous, beautiful, pool which maintenance works diligently on each morning to keep it sparkling clean. If you go out to the over-sized palapa, where there are plenty of tables to sit at and have a snack, you get a wonderful view of the ocean and at dusk a great view of the sunset. Having a full size washer/dyer was a huge plus. The complex is in an excellent location for walking into town to shop or eat and also steps from the public bus stop. We rented bikes for our stay that made getting around town and to neighboring areas a breeze, and there was a nice bike rack to keep them in in the driveway. The owner of the unit was very easy to deal with, was quick to respond to all of my inquiries and couldn't have been anymore accommodating to our requests with booking, not to mention she was very nice. We just loved staying in Punta de Mita and especially at Faro de Mita. We will stay at this unit again and again!
Paradise, or darn close to it
We have rented this property for 5 weeks in 2012 and 10 weeks in 2013. It is probably the best unit in the complex. It is main floor. Over 2000 sq. ft. 2 large bedrooms. 2 full baths. Beautifully appointed with artifacts from the owner's world travels. On-sight washer and dryer. Huge island kitchen with all the amenities. A beautiful glass door system that has sections that fold into each other. The first thing we do every morning is open them to the most wide-open position. Now, the condo feels like it is a part of the wonderful garden area and infinity pool, just a few steps away. Look beyond those and you will see the ocean and moored sail boats in the harbor. We walk for miles every day on the beach. On a 2 hour walk, you might meet 8 other people. If you want beauty and serenity, you want to be here. 10 excellent restaurants within a few minutes walk. Lots of local grocery stores selling local produce to make your own gourmet meals. Public bus to PV and all points in between very inexpensive. No need for a rental car. If you do need one for a day or two, National Rentals has an office 2 minutes away, in Punt de Mita. We just love this place. Another bonus is, the owners couldn't be any more accommodating. You will not be disappointed. You will think it's paradise too.

Ever note handles the OCR for the Flyer and does not provide that kind of functionality.
All hand writing on the flyer is basically a image file. Ever note does OCR for search purposes. You can search for a word in the image you wrote. They do not allow you extract all the OCR words from an image and save them as text.
Maybe with the Flyer out they will offer this in the future. I bet it will be a premium option thou.
As far as I can tell if you imported Flyer notation into Onenote via Evernote or directly from the Flyer it would just show up as a image file.
I have the Flyer and Onenote if there is anything you want me to test I can.

Give the holiday gift of preparedness
Hanukkah and Christmas are fast approaching. Most of our family and friends don't need more unnecessary stuff and clutter. Think practical, tight budgets, someone out of a job, grandkids in private schools or in college dorms, medical expenses and big mortgages. Disaster preparedness is not a budget line item for those households. You've been watching TV and super-storm Sandy. Maybe you have family and friends involved or nearby all the devastation. Food and water were a few days coming and many are still without power. Everyone needs one gallon of water per person per day and several flashlights, lanterns and lots of batteries.
So this year give the gift of preparedness to your loved ones and to yourself. The Disaster Task Force office in the Community Center has 3 day Survival Bags, car bags and Red Cross Disaster First Aid Kits. Also available are face masks recommended for use after wild fires and earthquakes to filter soot, dust and dirt particles and a hose used to drain the potable water from your hot water tank.
The office is open Monday to Friday from 10 a.m. to noon to and items are sold at cost with cash or check. Check their website www.lagunawoodsvillage.com/disasterpreparedness to view these items, their contents and prices. If you're working and can't shop those hours, call the office 597-4237 and leave Paula a message with your name and phone number.

HP IntelliJack Gigabit switches are compact 10/100/1000 switches that can be installed in a standard wall outlet box, quickly converting an existing single-port LAN wall outlet into four switched Gigabit Ethernet ports. These "network jacks" provide a simple solution for adding network ports without running more cabling. Unlike conventional desktop switches, HP IntelliJack devices reside out of the way-literally in-the-wall-and so are more secure from theft and difficult to accidentally disconnect or damage. The innovative HP IntelliJack switches provide four Ethernet ports for local connectivity plus one uplink port. Two additional RJ-45 "pass-through ports" flexibly support a range of additional service and user connectivity options. It can be powered locally or via Power over Ethernet (PoE), and can output standard PoE on up to two ports to directly power attached devices such as IP phones or wireless access points.

Panel 3: The Way Forward
Mike is scheduled to appear on CNN's American Morning on Tuesday. Be sure to tune in!
Catch highlights from last Monday's panel discussions on Fordham's latest book, "A Byte at the Apple: Rethinking Education Data for the Post-NCLB Era."
Education Trust and Achieve have it, and share it, here.
It's week three of Fordham's name-the-next-education-secretary daily tracking poll, and Chicago schools CEO Arne Duncan has moved into a commanding lead, with better odds of getting the job than the next five candidates combined. (At least that's according to our ten Washington insiders .) I've decided to be happy about it. While he's not the perfect choice--I really think a governor is better suited to move an agenda on Capitol Hill--he no doubt has reform instincts and a pretty good track record in Chicago. (His NAEP scores are at least as impressive at Joel Klein's, if not more so. What he seems to be lacking is a large press office to promote them nationally.) And being a close personal friend of the President's will surely help him get attention for the education issue.
Meanwhile, lurking in today's results is the specter of Linda Darling-Hammond, who makes the big board for the first time today. And keep your eyes on Kansas governor Kathleen Sebelius, a rising talent who is expected to get a chair at the Cabinet table. Will it be this one?
Other folks mentioned today: Tim Kaine, Hugh Price,...
Melody Barnes, whose comment on the Diane Rehm show sparked much speculation about Team Obama's position on testing and portfolios, is going to direct the Domestic Policy Council. Portfoliogate aside, I hear she's very good and has the right instincts on education. And let's all be thankful that this key job didn't go to Linda Darling-Hammond. (On the other hand, that means that LDH is still in the running (!!!) for education secretary.)
Oh sure, the economy is imploding and the President-Elect is considering a stimulus at least as large as what America's spends on schools in an entire year, but what we education wonks can't help but wonder is which way Obama will go on??k-12 policy. Maria Glod of the Washington Post tees up the issue, and Terry Moe hits it long in the Wall Street Journal.
And so are the folks leading the Washington, DC and New Orleans school systems (hint: Michelle Rhee and Paul Vallas), said the former head of IBM in a recent CEO forum sponsored by the Wall Street Journal. Said forum also featured...Joel Klein. And James Comer. It's an interesting read; I wonder if any CEOs actually attended the session.
I'm glad we have Flypaper to vent our internal disagreements, as I take umbrage with Ben's Gadfly discussion of Weighted Student Funding. In his review of an AIR report examining WSF in San Francisco and Oakland, Ben is far too dismissive of WSF as a reform (it "adjusts the inputs in a field where outcomes are what really matter"). Of course that's true at an abstract level, but it's a big oversimplification.
First, rearranging school funding so that the poorest schools are funded on par with wealthier schools may indeed be an adjustment of inputs, but it's an important one. The Education Trust, Marguerite Roza, and others have long documented the startling funding disparities that exist among districts, and among schools within districts. If we want great results from schools with underprivileged students, step one involves leveling the playing fields on which they compete.
But second, a more importantly, WSF is intended to change the way schools work, so they can produce great outcomes. It is meant to give principals greater autonomy, so they can tailor their school's offerings to meet the needs of their particular students. It is meant to give...
Arne Duncan's lead is bigger than ever in the quest to replace Margaret Spellings. One friend of mine urges me to just accept that he's the guy. Well, that's probably true. Meanwhile, United Negro College Fund president Michael Lomax is working his way up the ladder, and now appears to be the pick as the Arne-alternative. And what about Bill Richardson, whom I've been promoting all week? First, the Washington Post's "in the loop" reporter Al Kamen wrote this morning that Obama might find a spot for him at Interior, Commerce, or as ambassador to China. Then Alyson Klein at Education Week ridiculed my speculation since Richardson was well-known as an NCLB-hater on the campaign trail. (See, I'm terrible at placing bets because I always gamble on the horse I want to win, rather than the horse most likely to win. And a pro-accountability, anti-NCLB governor sounds good to me!) And now, The Fix is saying that Richardson is being "seriously considered" for Commerce. Well, Bill, it was fun while it lasted. And look--Geoffrey Canada, he of Harlem Children's Zone fame--makes an appearance for the first time.
