 2010-09-02 Democrat Alex Sink unveils her education plan - St. Petersburg TimesSinks plan retains much of the foundation of the current school accountability system a hallmark of Republican governors for the past 12 years. But she proposes significant changes that include considering other factors that influence a childs learning when grading schools, using test scores as a road map to help prepare students, and allowing parents to see detailed test results. She has been endorsed by the Florida teachers union, but not all of her proposals have the unions support. Her support of a constitutional amendment to offer flexibility for the class-size amendment and teacher pay incentives tied to performance are at odds with the union, said Kyra Jennings, Sinks spokeswoman. Alex Sinks education plan proposes sending education decisions back to locals and strengthening state standards.
2010-09-01 Elevations effect on beef - Silver City Sun-NewsNational expert on bovine HAD Tim Holt, a veterinarian and assistant professor at Colorado State Universitys School of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Science, has been actively involved at the facility since 2009 by performing pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP) tests on cattle to evaluate individual adaptation to the high elevation. The PAP test is presently the beef industrys diagnostic tool of choice, as it detects early signs of hypertension through an animals blood pressure. Most cattle producers dont know if individual cattle will have problems grazing at high elevations until the animal shows clinical symptoms. Unfortunately, in most situations, the discovery and disease confirmation is only after the death of the animal. Death and performance losses associated with HAD annually add up to more than usd. 60 million for the beef cattle industry in the Rocky Mountain region. VALLES CALDERA - The nations highest elevation beef cattle research facility managed by New Mexico State University at the Valles Caldera National Preserve in northern New Mexico is determining if there are DNA markers that will identify if cattle are genetically predisposed to develop

2010-08-27 Triathlon for triathletes who go the distanceMy basic opinion of this is Endurance racing is such a new phonon and very small test samples support much of the literature out there. To measure tiny increments of improvements in a test sample of 500 people is not really statistically significant, when as much as a . 05 pct. improvement is substantial in athletic performance. In order to see improvements like this the testing sample would need to be relatively big, and no one has done the tests with samples of this magnitude. For this reason I believe much of the literature is skewed or can be a little misleading and this is why trial and error has been very useful in leading me to my own opinions and methods of training and planning. I am not against the science. It sets the parameters and boundaries as a place to start, but it is not the complete answer and needs to be personalized.

2010-08-25 Paddon takes well-deserved second in production class at WRC Germany RallyBuzzPaddons success in Germany was helped by commencing the event with one of the Pirelli Star Driver test days on the Monday. Paddon made the most of the chance for a full-speed test on tarmac for the first time through a short stretch of tight hairpin turns on a vineyard road. Paddon said: "The biggest thing we found was the difference in performance between the hard and soft compound tyres. For WRC tarmac events you can use both two compound Pirellis, but youre only allocated 16 soft tyres, so you have to choose where you do and dont use them, even if it is wet everywhere. On the damp road today the soft compound tyres were two seconds per kilometre faster than the hard ones, so tyre choice is absolutely crucial. " New Zealand rally driver Hayden Paddon finished an exceptionally-strong second place in the production class of the challenging all-tarmac World Rally
2010-08-24 Testing the systemIf you are to give validity to the value-added approach to measuring a teachers performance, the prerequisite is that the standardized test is a valid measure of a students learning and knowledge, and that in itself is controversial. To say it is the most important, or the sole measure, is without any validation in the mainstream academic conversation on teacher effectiveness. It invalidates every other piece of teaching and has consequences that extend far beyond an individual teachers accountability. If test score are determinant, and if you want to keep teaching, then you have to alter the place standardized testing assumes in your instructional priority. Not because the school board says so, or the principal says so, or because you think so, but because The Times says its the most valid measure and its what is published. Last weekend, the Times launched its "Grading the Teachers" series , which presented the concept of a value-added approach to evaluating teachers. Individual test scores were scrutinized over several years as students moved from one teacher to another. The scores were analyzed to see which teachers consistently raised the test scores of their students and which lowered them. Later
