Change in grading system in Region 1 handled poorly Patricia Allyn Mechare, Falls Village 3
This is in response to the April 15 letter "Disgruntled parents in Region 1 getting too much attention." It was signed by Pam Vogel and Bob Whelan, superintendent of schools and Board of Education chairman, respectively.
Anyone reading the letter might have assumed other members of the board that governs Housatonic Valley High School sanctioned the publication. There never was any public discussion or action supporting this letter. Speaking for myself as the board's representative for Falls Village, I knew nothing about this letter until I read it in The Sunday Republican.
For a number of years, I have observed a strained relationship between the "high-school" board and the public. At best, there seemed to be little tolerance for concerns raised during the board's public-comment period. Further, the board was not particularly good at following through and reporting to the public the steps that were taken regarding questions or concerns raised at previous meetings. A few on the board seemed dismissive of anyone who raised concerns on any topic, especially if they involved Dr. Vogel. People who raised such concerns were referred to as uninformed, and accused of spreading rumors and/or promulgating misinformation – using much of the language that appears in Dr. Vogel's and Mr. Whelan's letter. That's unfortunate.
For months, citizens, including many parents, have expressed concerns about mastery-based grading practices. Listening to Dr. Vogel and Mr. Whelan, you would be left with the impression those expressing concern weren't supportive of the concept. Nothing could be further from the truth. The concern has centered on the way the initiative was implemented. What the overwhelming worry has been is the apparent lack of properly engaging the stakeholders – the administrators, teachers, students and parents – in the process. There have been legitimate concerns about the adequacy of the training, preparation and comprehensive understanding of the proposed change for the staff, students and parents. There has been a clear miscalculation by the "central office" administration regarding a smooth transition from traditional grading practices to mastery-based grading practices. The process has been further complicated by an unrealistic timeline for implementation.
The focus should be on solving the obvious problem created by a misguided roll-out of what otherwise would likely have been a successful change in the proficiency of learning of our students.

Another View On Willard Daggett 3
https://www.wpaag.org/CharacterEducationTowerArticle.htm
Educational consultant Willard Daggett was paid
nearly 10,000 to speak in Grosse Pointe during the
1998-99 school year.
[For a list of Daggett's fictitious claims and the Facts see last page of this article]
In November 1998, people sat in amazement as they listened to educational consultant Willard Daggett tell them about marvelous new inventions and findings that will transform their world. They were equally apprehensive when Daggett warned them how United States schools are not preparing students for this new technological-based world.
The problem with Daggett, Cognitive Psychologist Gerald Bracey said, is that he made up many facts used to support his contentions.
"Absolutely nothing this man says can be trusted," Bracey wrote in a letter to Grosse Pointe North Principal Caryn Wells. "Clearly he simply can't help himself with his fantasies. The man lied through his teeth telling the audience fantasies that they had no way of checking."
Bracey, who lives in suburban Washington, D. C., said because Daggett's "facts" were so numerous and many of them were without sources, it would not be difficult for unknowing school officials to be taken.
"He is so specific; he is so concrete. Most administrators wouldn't be in a position to challenge him," said Bracey. "He is terribly dangerous. He teaches people the wrong things."
Wells and other administrators had seemingly little reason to question Daggett's expertise. Daggett worked with Governor John Engler and the Michigan Legislature on the Michigan Educational Assessment Program (MEAP), said Renee McGrady, who works in the Governor's Constituency Service office.
Daggett has also served as the General Consultant to the Raising Expectations to Meet Real-World Needs school reform initiative in Texas, according to state records. His firm, the International Center for Leadership in Education, Rexford, N.Y., also coordinated the Model Schools Project Status Report in Michigan in1994.
In addition, Daggett has spoken to audiences throughout the country, everywhere from Florida to Idaho, and has worked as a consultant with numerous businesses. The Albertson Foundation paid Daggett $175,000 to come to Idaho for a series of speeches to educators. Albertson Foundation Communications Office Chris Ladder said.
"He ((Daggett)) did the job he was asked to do, he did a good job," said Ladders. 'Idaho educators liked his message."
Hernando County schools in Florida paid Daggett $8,000 for a day-long speech in August 1998, according to an "Investor's Business Daily" article about Daggett.
"His message was well received here in the state of Florida," said Ron Schildbach, technology president of Hermando County's School to Career Program. "It was the best in-service we have had. We were not impressed with the statistics; we were impressed with the message. I am going to back Dr. Daggett 100 percent."
Both Ladder and Schildbach said they were not too concerned with Daggett's specifics, but were rather more concerned with his message.
For example, Daggett said in his speech to North students, "We are the only industrialized nation on the face of the Earth that thinks that you teach biology and chemistry as separate courses. Biochemistry universally, across the globe, is seen as one in the same."
Henry Duckworth, a biochemist at the University of Manitoba, however, said Canada teaches chemistry and biology separately.
"High schools are doing right to teach chemistry as such (separate), so that students get the basics before they turn to the vastly more complex molecules that you have to deal with in biochemistry," said Duckworth.
In Addition, Kazuo Tachibana, a chemistry professor at the University of Tokyo, said Japan also teaches chemistry and biology separately. England also teaches chemistry and biology separately.
Daggett further extended his argument by saying the United States is isolated from the international community because most US schools do not require physics to graduate from high school, while 79 other nations require at least one year of physics to graduate.
David Robitaille, international coordinator of the Third International Math and Science Study and a professor at the University of British Columbia, contradicted Daggett's assertion. He said he knew of few nations that required physics to graduate from high school.
Visit to Grosse Pointe
Bracey said the merits of some of Daggett's message could be debated, but his entire message is called into question when he uses fictitious studies and unverifiable statistics.
For example, to illustrate how American students quickly lose what they are taught, Daggett cited a massive Harvard study.
"Harvard just completed, for the second year in a row, a study of 2,1000 high schools across the country," Daggett said to the North faculty.
"They took the top two ranking academic students ((who had graduated the previous year) from those 2,100 high schools; they asked those top two students-2,100 high schools, 4,200 kids in total–to sit with the ninth graders in the same building as the ninth graders took their final exams last spring in three courses; social studies, math and science. Eight-eight percent of those kids failed two of the three."
Douglas Winsor, special assistant to the dean at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, said he could not find the study.
"How can this audience know that his story about Harvard bringing the top graduates back to take tests is a total confabulation?" Bracey wrote in a letter to school officials. "The mere invocation of the word 'Harvard' gives figment credibility. He's as charismatic as he is dishonest."
Former US Assistant Secretary of Education Chester Finn said education consultants are common. He said there is little quality control and it is easy for school officials to be taken. "A lot of it (educational consulting) is a scam, because the people who get hired don't really know much or don't meet the needs they are being hired to address or, in a few cases, are themselves frauds," said Finn. "There's so much emphasis in the field (education) on 'professional development' and 'in-service,' and so many dollars rolling around for those purposes that it's easy for this racket to flourish.
"I know he (Daggett) is popular on the circuit, but I've heard and read several reports that lead me to have misgivings about what he delivers. One of the problems in this field is people who tell audiences what the audience wants to hear rather than the truth. This leads to much applause and positive reviews and big bucks, but I don't think it leads to any improvements in American education."
According to district records, the district paid Daggett $9,222.65 for the series of speeches on November 4, 1998. Bracey wrote sarcastically in his letter to Wells, "I will come and se things straight for half that."
Wells said the North faculty liked Daggett's message that all learning needs to be relevant to students and that "most people won't remember the fine points," but rather will remember the message. Her comments echoed those of Lader and Schidbach. Her comments echoed those of Ladder and Schildbach.
In response to Bracey's contentions, Wells sent a letter to Daggett requesting him to respond the charges. She said she was satisfied with Daggett's response to the questions Bracey raised and thought Daggett was making an "honest effort" to correct any misinformation.
In his response, Daggett did correct some information and apologized for errors made in the speeches.
Contrary to Wells, however, Bracey said he thought Daggett's response was inadequate.
"He dodged," said Bracey. "He didn't address the issue at all."
Bracey said he was also displeased with the response he received form Wells and other district officials and said those responses were "terribly inconsequential." He said he got the feeling they wanted him to "please go away."
"I have been appalled by the reaction of the administration of Grosse Pointe, especially with the reputation the district has,"" said Bracey. "They (district officials) are in a hard position, (but) they should have come forth and said, 'we blew it.'"
One Administrator's Concerns
Bracey said, however, one top district official did contact him about his work. Assistant Superintendent Susan Allan thanked Bracey for attempting to correct misinformation given by Daggett in a private e-mail correspondence. "Thank you very much for the information that you've provided to our staff," Allan wrote to Bracey. 'I had reservations about Mr. Daggett's talk and checked some items with my husband (a professor of natural resources at the U of Michigan) who confirmed my thoughts.
"It's truly unfortunate that the important points of helping students develop technological skills and rethinking our education systems is being muddied by someone playing fast and loose with information. We appreciate your efforts to set the record straight."
Consultant Defends Himself
In response to Bracey's charges, Daggett wrote to district officials that Bracey has a past history of attacking people with whom he disagrees.
To support his contention, Daggett provided a list of people who Bracey has attacked, one of whom was William Raspberry, a columnist with the "Washington Post."
Raspberry said, however, that he never felt attacked by Bracey and said he was "close to brilliant." In addition, Raspberry said he found Bracey reliable and his information accurate.
Daggett wrote that Bracey's attacks are "a classic case of 'If you don't like the message, attack the messenger.' Dr. Bracey sees himself as the great protector of the status quo in education."
Daggett said his speeches are meant to challenge audiences' assumptions by making predictions about the future and what students will be required to know to succeed.
He said he regrets any statistical errors he made in his speeches, and it is unfortunate such errors shift attention away from the central issue.
"I wish I had been clearer on some of the statistics I used, but I still stand firmly behind my message," said Daggett. "His (Bracey's) attacks may have been a distraction for some people, but they have not undermined the validity of my message."
Former South Principal and Educational Consultant John Artis said he thought Bracey's attacks of Daggett were unfair. He said he was certain if he looked over all of Bracey's work like Bracey had looked over Daggett's, he could find errors.
Artis said he thought Daggett does good work and said he is very respected in his field.
Unlike Bracey, Daggett said his correspondence with district officials have been positive, and they have handled the controversy in a very professional manner. He said he looks forward to continuing his positive relationship with the district.
Most recently an article appeared in the April 11 edition of "The Washington Post," which featured Daggett's inaccurate statements in Grosse Point as an example of the need to examine teacher training in the US.
In response, Bracey said, "yesterday's 'Washington Post' article once again reveals Grosse Point administrators as among the most craven cowards and dishonest educators in the nation."
Daggett said in the "The Washington Post" that his inaccuracies were a result of a long day on his feet.
Specific claims
He testified before congressional committee that was looking at the Goals 2000 initiative.
FACT: Head Senate Librarian Greg Harness said, "I am confident he never testified before Congress."
"Twenty-nine nations in the world require four years of technical reading and writing to graduate from high school."
FACT: David Robitaille, international coordinator of the Third International Math and Science Study and a professor at the University of British Columbia said, "I've never heard of such a thing," and said none of the countries he has studied have such requirements.
No one in the world teaches theoretical algebra, except the US.
FACT: Robitaille said, "It's hard to imagine what non-theoretical algebra would be. What North American kids study ('theoretical' algebra) is not that much different from other countries."
In 1996, 62 percent of the colleges in this country-the community colleges-did not require a high school diploma for admission.
FACT: Renee Gernand, who is in charge of the College Board's database, said 75 percent of the two-year schools require a diploma for admission, 98 percent of four-year schools require a diploma. She said, "My data on this is very good. I don't know where he got his numbers.
Fifty-four percent of the students in Arizona attend charter schools. Twenty-four percent of the students in California attend charter schools.
FACT: According to the California Department of Education's website, 9 percent of all students are in charter schools, Director of Charter Schools Administration in Arizona Lyle Skillan said currently 4.2 percent of its students are in charter schools.
"There is one college in America this fall that has 600.000 students enrolled, which is eleven times larger than (University of ) Phoenix and you know what it is? It is called Western Virtual University. It started only two years ago," to North students.
FACT: Only 180 students are enrolled, Director of University Affairs at Western Governors (formerly Virtual) University Amy Tejral said.
"At this moment, in the Antarctic, Stanford University has a laboratory, where they are growing tomatoes in 20 degree below zero temperatures, outside. And they're going to full flavor and texture without freezing," to North faculty.
FACT: Arthur Grossman, a professor of Biological Sciences at Stanford University, said this "doesn't sound plausible at all" and he knew of no such program.
"My oldest daughter, Heidi, is the President and Chief Executive Officer of Carolina Complete Care, which is the fourth largest medical facility in the world. She is married to a young neurosurgeon." She is in charge of eight hospitals including Baston Children's Hospital, Duke, and John Hopkins.
FACT: Carolina Complete Care has four doctors on its staff: an internist, a family physician, and two chiropractors. It does not run any hospitals. Heidi is married to one of the chiropractors; she is the office manager.
"They (scientists) identified the gene combinations in the human body that led to male sexual dysfunction, which led to a new pharmaceutical: Viagra."
FACT: According to Viagra's website, it is not based on genetic research.
Note: There are at least a dozen more examples from Daggett's presentations in Grosse Point.
Concerns cause presentation to unravel: A timeline
December 1994: "Washington Post" columnist William Raspberry first attributes a study to Dr. Willard Daggett that gets Dr. Gerald Bracey's attention.
October 1995: Bracey writes an article in the education journal, "Phi Delta Kappan." Bracey writes that he could not find the VCR study Daggett referred to in Raspberry's column and in another presentation.
November 1998: Daggett makes a series of speeches in Grosse Pointe. One month later, Grosse Pointe North Science Teacher Peter Moskaluk writes to his principal raising questions about Daggett's speeches.
January, 1999: Bracey sends a letter to district officials attacking many of Daggett's claims. Daggett sends district officials a response to those claims two weeks later.
February 1999: Bracey sends a letter to district officials criticizing Daggett's response. Later that month, Daggett sends the district a letter criticizing Bracey's response to his response.
October 1999. Bracey gives two awards to district officials in "Phi Delta Kappan." First, he gives Daggett the "Rotten Apple: The Who Cares About Facts? Award" for his speech in Grosse Pointe. He also gives Grosse Pointe administrators the "Rotten Apple: The Stop Pointing at Our Emperor Award" for their lack of action.
October 22, 1999: An article critical of Daggett's work appears in "Investors Business Daily." The same day, Daggett's lawyers request that all the videotapes of his presentations in Grosse Pointe be returned immediately.
November 1999: District lawyers refuse to return the tapes and call the criticisms against Daggett "significant."
April 2000: "The Washington Post" publishes a story on teacher training, and Daggett's visit to Grosse Pointe is used as an example of what's wrong with professional development classes.

Region One School Officials Misread The Public Mood 2
A letter to the editor
Region 1 school officials misread the public mood
We respectfully take exception to the April 15 letter "Disgruntled parents in Region 1 getting too much attention," by schools Superintendent Pam Vogel and Board of Education Chairman Bob Whelan. All of us attended the public meeting they referenced, not only because Housatonic Valley Regional High School is in our town, but also because of our shared long-term commitment to education.
To say the Republican-American gives too much attention to the views of "a small group of disgruntled parents" is a condescending and dismissive comment. We believe it is unwarranted and does not carry the imprimatur of the board as a whole, the teachers and the students. Raising issues that are not in agreement with Dr. Vogel and Mr. Whelan deserves more than derisive commentary; it is a plea for dialogue, of which there obviously has not been enough.
Change is not, in itself, a bad thing, but change requires the imperative for making sure it is understood by every group affected by it; and that it is implemented in a cohesive, effective manner. Neither seems to have been done in this instance.
The comments made by a teacher in another district with children in ours were much more ambivalent and nuanced than depicted by Dr. Vogel and Mr. Whelan. It was not a glowing endorsement. The teacher emphasized that phasing in such a change takes time and education of all the groups with a stake in the change, i.e. parents, teachers and students, as well as the administrators and the board.
We think killing the messengers and dismissing them as complainers is a discredit to the Region 1 school board and administration. Wise leadership comes through the building of consensus, not name-calling.

Vote NO Region One Budget 8
$491,170 SPENDING INCREASE IN REGION ONE EDUCATION BUDGET. VOTE NO!
Attached is the budget summary sent by Central Office and presented at the budget hearing. This is NOT a ZERO percent increase in spending. They expect to spend just under half a million dollars next year MORE than they did this year. Teachers cut, decreased enrollment, level of education declining, yet spending half a million more. VOTE NO!!
IT IS TIME ONCE AGAIN, TO VOTE NO ON THE REGION ONE BUDGET 4
IT IS TIME ONCE AGAIN, TO VOTE NO ON THE REGION ONE BUDGET
With your NO vote we can send a vote of NO CONFIDENCE on Pam Vogel!
With your NO vote we can send a message of NO CONFIDENCE in the way the new grading system has been implemented!
With your NO vote we can send a message of NO CONFIDENCE on the new schedules
With your NO vote we can send a message to get rid of consent agendas which HIDE what is going on in Region One!
With you NO vote we can ask for cuts in the Central Office Budget and restore that money to EDUCATING our children!
Taxpayers can not afford to not vote NO on this budget at this time!!!
This budget vote is the last resort for public involvement in the educational future of students, teachers and taxpayers in Region One.
The Regional budget must be voted down. If (according to state law) that means cuts must be made, and a new budget presented, so be it! (Dollars are not the issue- leadership is.)
BUT we must make certain that future cuts are not directed at students. This budget already cuts teachers and includes savings in teacher health insurance. Yet the board proudly proclaims a "zero %" overall increase? Where are the increases then? More Central Office initiatives? It includes new positions in non certified technology expenditures, a bloated Central Office (What do all these high salaried positions produce?), what are our CABE expenditures? Please carefully look at this budget and ask questions. Questions about this budget abound. (Answers are few and far between.
The budget hearings were quietly pushed through much like the board's CABE endorsed "consent agenda. NOW is the time to address all this with a NO VOTE!

Appreciation of Beauty and Excellence: The 2008 Olympic Games

"Appreciation is a wonderful thing: It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well." Voltaire (1694 – 1778)
Four billion people watched the Beijing Olympics opening ceremony, significantly more than watched any other recent TV program. Perhaps the Olympic Games have an inexplicable magic such that even people like my mother who do not follow sports closely are unable to take their eyes off the TV broadcast. Last Friday, I invited some friends to enjoy the game at my place. Regardless of our different ethnicities, backgrounds, and professions (i.e. psychologists, teachers, managers, and investment bankers), the reaction we had to the matches was the same – appreciation, admiration, and ecstasy.
"Olympic Positive Emotions"
These different positive emotions emerge not just from one's support to one's home country. These emotions are derived beyond the boundary of races and countries: I would call this the "Olympic Positive Emotions" phenomenon. From my point of view, this phenomenon originates from our innate tendency to appreciate things that are beautiful and great. This appreciation of beauty and excellence is suggested by Christopher Peterson and Martin E.P. Seligman (2004) to be one of the 24 strengths that could be found in us. According to the authors, we are able to notice and appreciate beauty, excellence, and/or skilled performance in various domains of life, from nature to art to mathematics to science to everyday experience.
Why do we so strongly appreciate the Olympic Games? I propose that there may be three sources for our appreciation of the beauty of the Olympic Games, all of which I have observed in myself:
1) Appreciation of aesthetics
2) Appreciation of the players
3) Appreciation of friendship and peace
The first and the most obvious source of our appreciation is the sense of aesthetics when we see magnificent moves or turns in artistic events such as gymnastics and diving. We cannot stop our praise of the players that finish difficult routines with ease and beauty. Besides, the excellent and devoted performances of the players during the games also win our thundering applause. This instinctive appreciation of the beauty of sports may even be greater than our affections to our home country. We often clap for players from opponent teams for their excellent spikes during ball games such as table tennis, badminton, or tennis, and we give our genuine admiration and respect for teams who played splendid matches no matter what the final results were.
Moving beyond the games or the sports per se, we also appreciate athletes who are dedicated to give their very best to the audience. We are able to experience the players' efforts, devotion, concentration, determination, and their persistence towards goal pursuit when they are playing, as well as from their reactions after the games. When we share their happiness on the medal podium, we are not simply happy for them because of the medal reward, but also because we recognize their thousands of hours of training and the efforts behind their glory. As John F. Kennedy said, "The ancient Greek definition of happiness was the full use of your powers along lines of excellence." The happiness and positive characters of the athletes are also the sources of positive messages and emotions that are transmitted to everyone. For examples of the players at their best, see my article about Michael Phelps or Caroline Miller's article about Dara Torres.
3) Appreciation of Peace and Friendship
Lastly, we also appreciate the friendly and peaceful atmosphere of contesting that is found in the Olympic Games. This is something broader than the event or the sports as it is the wish of all mankind: Friendship and Peace, the traditional Olympic spirit. This is demonstrated in the congratulations and praise from opponent players and coaches, and in support from the audience to the winners and, more importantly, to the losing side. This tone highlights and advocates the positive characteristics of humankind and thus also elicits our positive emotions. As the host of the Olympic Games, it is not surprising that the stadium would be enthralled whenever Chinese players are present. Yet I am also amazed to see the Chinese also show their support and encouragement to other players from different countries, and I thought, "Yes, this is the world and community we should live in." I am really proud of being a Chinese as well as a part of the global community.
Some people wonder if the idea "Competition comes after friendship" contradicts with the spirit of sport contests, but I surely disagree. Because if the Olympic Games, or any other sports event, are just about winning and include many unethical incidents, the events would not be as worthwhile of being appreciated nor as touching to one's heart.
"Everyday Positive Emotions"
The 2008 Olympic Games will end with praise and applause within one week. However, the human insights from the event – like the appreciation of beauty and excellence, strengths stories of different players, and the spirit of friendship and peace – may last long and we may continue applying these to our everyday lives. You may have a different inspiration than I have, but I say that the most important thing we can do is to extend the "Olympic Positive Emotions" phenomenon to the "Everyday Positive Emotions" phenomenon.

Timothy, its interesting that according to Peterson's research appreciation of beauty and excellence has a low correlation with life satisfaction. I suspect the message is that perhaps rather than being an "arm chair sports person" its better to get of our butts and do something.
Timothy T.C. So August 19, 2008 - 7:38 am
Wayne, thanks for your proactive message (as usual, haha)!
Yes, I agree. Only with appreciation of beauty and excellence would probably be unable to enhance life satisfaction much, yet lack of this appreciation could blind one from many enjoyments in life, which would also hinder satisfaction.
I got this inspiration from the book Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert M. Pirsig (which is introduced by Tal Ben-Shahar). In the book there is a story about a group people trying to climb up the Himalayas. Those who only care about reaching the top of the mountain suffered a lot on the way as they did not find the enjoyments, and eventually they failed to achieve the goal as they also lost the desire and strength to move on. On the contrary, other people enjoyed the beautiful scenes throughout the journey and were usually able to reach the top of the mountain in the end.
I guess you would be interested in reading it.

Timothy, thank you for a, once again, beautifully written and inspiring article. Pure positive psychology in practice.
Ni Hao August 19, 2008 - 4:07 pm
It is amazing if we observe how Olympic games can give us dozens of hints and inspirations for the future research of positive psychology.
A Question: Why does 10NBC in the U.S. play the beach volleyball game in the evening time exclusively, whereas there are lots of other games going on at the same time?? Can anyone figure out how the percentage of nudity can affect the viewing rate? 🙂
Wayne Jencke August 19, 2008 - 5:06 pm
Timothy – thanx – I have read the book. The message I took away was different to yours. Its not the destination that's important -its the journey.
This is consistent with research that shows that while achieving goals is important – celebrating milestones along the way is more important.
Too many people are more content to sit down and watch the olympics and live their lives vicariously through others – not a good formula for happiness. Happy people do things
As an aside I just read some research that suggests that the happiest people don't watch television. Again think of all the time people waste watching the olympics.
Hiroko Kamide August 20, 2008 - 11:36 am
On the surface the beauty and excellence of Olympic seem to be kinds of extrinsic concerns, like amazing physical movements, winning the competition, and getting glory or honorable position as players. As mentioned above watching T.V. may not be supportive to well-being (although I think it's important what kind of programs are), if people feel positive emotions, it's thought to be significant to see or interpret the beauty and excellence from the intrinsic view points.
And also, self-expansion theory suggests that to share exciting activities or experiences with other increases relationship satisfaction. It may be that this suggestion has a relation to enjoying Olympic in a way.
Iris Marie Bloom August 20, 2008 - 2:44 pm
I really enjoyed your column, especially the emphasis on friendship and peace exemplified by the emotional consonance and congratulations, the unique appreciation opponents in competition have for one another once the competition is over, even as the adrenaline is still flowing. I think we all feel relief and happiness when we see that. It reminded me of an anecdote I read about a white guy involved in a psychological study of white racism. Unfortunately I've forgotten the details of how the response to racial difference was measured; perhaps an online study in which slower reaction time to identify the face of a person of color previously seen, compared to white faces previously seen, was measured; or some measure of anxiety. In any case the guy thought he was anti-racist but just could not change his score showing he was just like most white people, and he got really frustrated. So then he spent an hour a day for a week studying closely the faces of African American Olympic athletes, paying attention to their features and expressions and feeling his feelings of admiration and awe; he also looked at artists, writers, and pictures of African American folks enjoying family life. The next time he took the test his score finally showed no difference between his responses to white people and people of color. In terms of what we know about neuroplasticity, this really makes sense! So I say — go global with your admiration and awe; me, I watch about 2 hours of television a year, but I LOVE the Olympics and feel energized and inspired when I watch.
(Has anyone else come across that anecdote of that inspired self-changer determined to prove to psychologists that racism is not so hard-wired as some argue? If so, please give me the reference!)
Last comment regarding appreciation of beauty and excellence: I suspect that those of us who just love people as they are and love nature in its fantastic creativity have very high life satisfaction. But it could be that those who focus on appreciation of others' high achievements get stuck on the "demon of comparison" — why am I not as good at x y or z as that other person… which could lead to lower life satisfaction. What's your hypothesis?

Black screen when trying to update drivers.
I have a radeon r9 270x which has been working for a few years but recently while playing a game it had crashed and when i restarted i was on a blue screen saying that my windows 10 couldn't load properly. I ended up uninstalling the drivers using ddu and the windows uninstaller and it fixed my problem. But when i tried to reinstall the drivers it got up to "installing display drivers" and then turned to a black screen which didn't respond. At first i thought it was normal but after waiting around 30 minutes i knew something was wrong.

What New York's Best Schools Have in Common
The best MBA programs in NYC and New York state display several common characteristics: They all link students directly to valuable professional networks while delivering an excellent education that emphasizes transferable skills.
They also share these four important features:
– Accreditation: Institutional accreditation from the Middle States Commission on Higher Education signals each school's commitment to academic and intellectual excellence. Additional programmatic credentials provide added esteem.
– Affordability: These top-ranked MBAs in New York all deliver highly favorable returns on students' educational investments over the long term.
– High Average Salaries: Graduates of the leading MBA programs in New York tend to command appealing salaries that further boost each school's ROI and value proposition.
– Prestige: A school's reputation can matter, especially in a competitive job market like business. These New York institutions all boast high status and desirable standing among employers.
What To Expect From NY MBA Programs
MBA programs vary in their typical graduation timelines, but generally take 1-3 years to complete. Some schools offer accelerated formats that lead to faster graduation, while others slow things down as they cater specifically to the needs of people balancing their current careers and families with the rigors of graduate business studies.
The number of courses in a given program depends on the school's credit structure. Business schools typically award 2-4 credits per course, and leading MBA programs usually range in length from about 30-72 credits. Thus, depending on the school, degree-seekers may take as few as 10 courses and as many as 24.
Concentrations also impact coursework, as different specializations emphasize different skills and proficiencies. In general, business schools increasingly favor case-study models that prompt students to apply their learning rather than passively participate in lectures and seminars. Delivery formats also vary, from traditional classroom-based programs to 100% online options, hybrid models that blend the two, and programs with optional or required experiential learning components.
Admission Requirements for MBAs
Business schools also vary with regard to their admission policies, but generally speaking, candidates should expect competitive requirements that set the bar for entry high. The more reputable and prestigious the school, the most exclusive its standards tend to be.
The best MBA programs in NYC universally list a four-year bachelor's degree among their admission prerequisites.
Even if not explicitly required, many schools favor applicants with undergraduate degrees in business, marketing, economics, accounting, management, or another closely related subject area.
In terms of grades, some schools specify minimum GPA cutoffs while others do not. In either case, highly regarded MBA programs usually look for applicants with undergraduate GPAs in at least the 3.0 neighborhood. The higher your grades, the better your chances of securing an offer of admission.
Additional application materials for top New York-based MBA programs almost always include GMAT and GRE scores, letters of recommendation, personal statements, and resumes or CVs. MBA programs also increasingly prefer or require that applicants have multiple years of career experience in a related or applicable professional role.
Specialized MBAs
General MBAs carry a great deal of value and they equip learners with essential, highly transferable skills. Even so, many aspiring business professionals recognize the value of specialized credentials. Concentrated degrees prepare graduates for niche careers in targeted, specific areas of professional practice.
Finance is a particularly popular concentration among MBA students eyeing careers on Wall Street, but New York offers a complete array of employment opportunities for business specialists in other areas. These include MBAs in traditional areas such as:
– Accounting
– Entrepreneurship
– Business Intelligence
– Operations/Supply Chain Management
– Human Resources
– Project Management
– Healthcare Management
Programs continue to adapt to the changing needs of businesses and students, and also offer MBA concentrations in popular and emerging areas like:
– Innovation Management
– Environmental Management
– Information Systems and Technology Management
– Sports Management
– Financial Technology (Fintech)
Businesses throughout the state constantly seek managers and executives with these and other specialized credentials. However, learners with highly specialized degrees are more likely to find the greatest concentration of opportunities in the New York City metro area.
Popular MBA Program Courses
MBA programs differ in their curricula and structure, especially if they focus on concentrated or specialized subject matter. The following sample curricula includes a list of classes learners commonly encounter in graduate business programs with generalist orientations:
– Microeconomics of Management: For many businesses, microeconomic factors drive a great deal of their operational focuses. Thus, management-level professionals need advanced understandings of concepts like consumer behavior, market equilibrium, and costing.
– Quantitative Analysis: In this course, degree-seekers cultivate advanced expertise with qualitative approaches to data analysis. Specific areas of study may include topics like matrix algebra, input-output modeling, and statistical measures of central tendency. It aims to equip learners with the numeracy skills to make sound, evidence-based managerial decisions.
– Foundations of Leadership in Management: While MBA-holders qualify for a variety of professional roles, many of them find work in leadership positions at the executive level. These jobs carry high-profile responsibilities that demand cultivated leadership qualities, which good business programs teach through seminars that examine the theory and practice of sound organizational leadership.
– Principles of Marketing: Business executives require, at minimum, a practical grounding in the essential concepts of marketing, even if their professional roles emphasize other areas. This course delivers vital knowledge of marketing basics like branding, demographic targeting and segmentation, pricing strategy, and product positioning.
The MBA Capstone or Thesis
Almost all graduate degree programs culminate with a major project that affords students the chance to display their integrated learning and mastery of fundamental knowledge. These projects typically take one of two forms: a capstone or a thesis.
In an MBA program, a capstone project normally involves a long-form investigative analysis involving case studies. Alternatively, it may deliver a deep exploration and review of independent research that examines established and emerging scholarship on a particular problem or question. Thesis projects share many of these features, but they remain more oriented toward theory than applied knowledge.
Given their focuses on practicality and professional practice, MBA programs tend to include capstone projects more often than thesis courses. Capstone projects normally span two semesters in the student's final year. Candidates carry out their capstone work under the tutelage of dedicated faculty advisors, with New York-based students enjoying convenient access to an excellent selection of academic and extracurricular resources.
What Jobs Can MBAs Get You?
Perhaps more so than with any other degree, people associate MBAs with well-paid professional success. Businesses and corporations continue to place high value on advanced business administration credentials when hiring for managerial and executive vacancies and promoting people from within.
New York is one of the nation's most important banking, finance, and economic centers, ensuring ongoing demand for MBA degree-holders.
Leading industries and sectors for MBA graduates include technology management, accounting, marketing, international business, and finance. These industries all thrive in New York City and the Empire State.
A 2018 Wall Street Journal article notes that professionals who earn MBAs can double their salaries, and that 75% of all students who earn the degree do so in order to change careers. Degree-seekers eyeing MBA-fueled career changes can consider the following popular occupations:
Management consultants work independently or with consulting firms to provide expert evaluations and insights of clients' organizational structures and operational efficiency.
– Required Education: MBA preferred
– Job Outlook (2019-29): +11%
– Average Annual Salary in New York: $112,280
Financial analysts typically work for companies in banking, financial services, wealth management, and investing. They analyze market and investing conditions, provide advice on investments and portfolio management, and participate in organizational economic forecasting.
– Job Outlook (2019-29): +5%
Marketing directors manage marketing, advertising, and branding campaigns for their employers and the portfolio of products and services they offer. They also identify marketing priorities, administer marketing budgets, and contribute to strategic planning initiatives.
Public Relations Director
PR directors build and manage their employers' or clients' media presences, increase brand and product exposure, and nurture long-term relationships with prominent influencers.
Financial managers work for corporations, private organizations, and wealthy individuals. They prepare detailed financial reports, guide the short- and long-term financial health of their employers, and identify, analyze, and recommend investment and economic growth opportunities.
– Required Education: MBA or other graduate degree in business, economics, or finance preferred
Selecting Your New York MBA Program
In the business world, bottom-line performance matters above all, and MBA candidates sometimes tend to use similar thinking to their program searches. External rankings matter and they have an impact, particularly among employers seeking job candidates with a competitive edge. However, program prestige is only one of many important considerations you should make when selecting an MBA in New York.
Specialized accreditations from exclusive organizations like the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs, and International Accreditation Council for Business Education all add value to programs that hold these endorsements. Career services and alumni networks should also be considered.
Practical, structural, and admission-based program characteristics also make certain programs more appealing than others. A lesser-known school may host the exact specialization that most interests you, making it a better choice than a more general degree at a better-known institution. Program length often matters a great deal to busy working professionals, while admission requirements tend to interest prospective MBA students from non-business backgrounds.
Finally, economic metrics like the cost of the program and the earning potential of graduates also carry major importance for many candidates. Rankings tell only part of the story when it comes to determining a given study opportunity's prospective value. As such, drive your research beyond the surface in generating detailed profiles of the schools that best match your personal objectives and ambitions.
Should You Consider Online Schools in New York?
Online education continues to make increasing inroads as a practical alternative to traditional classroom-based learning. Many highly regarded business schools offer partially or fully online MBAs. These flexible programs offer particularly strong appeal to the large number of graduate business students balancing continuing education with the demands of busy careers.
When the virtual classroom first emerged, some employers held skeptical viewpoints with regard to the value of an online MBA. That has changed dramatically, particularly as schools have refined their curricula and program structures to bridge gaps in their networking and peer-to-peer interaction opportunities.
Today, online MBA programs offer educational value that aligns perfectly with that delivered by on-campus study paths. While a growing number of business schools offer 100% online completion options, many leading schools combine the virtual classroom with the proven value of residency-based experiential learning programs.
Because of this, New York-based online MBA programs continue to offer superior value. Learners gain direct access to the world-class work-study and practicum placements they offer in partnership with leading recruiters and employers. Most MBA candidates possess more than their fair share of the independent, self-starter characteristics successful online students display, making distance-learning options well worth careful consideration.
Are online MBAs respected?
Online MBAs carry value equal to that of their traditional alternatives. Most business schools do not even distinguish between online and in-class degrees in transcripts, virtually eliminating any functional distinction between the two.
How much does an MBA cost in New York?
In 2020, the cost of doing an MBA at a top-10 U.S. school was about $140,000 for a two-year program. Some New York-based MBAs are equally expensive, while others offer more affordable alternatives.
Is pursuing an MBA online worth it?
While many businesses and organizations continue to rethink conventional wisdom on credentialing, MBA degrees continue to carry a great deal of weight and prestige. They offer some of the best return on investment of any graduate university program.
Does New York have online degrees?
New York-based institutions offer MBA programs in a complete array of delivery formats, including partly, mostly, and fully online opportunities. Students can balance out online learning with in-person work-study placements and experiential opportunities.

Whats up everyone who prob doesnt read this, but its your homie DGAF here, no real updates cuz no meeting I just wanted to share that finally my Bike is outta the shop. Much Props to Tommy over at the Service Dept at Saferide. Coulda been faster service but Tommy was the only one working and it was cheap. (the price, not the work). Anyways this morning I went on a short ride, think i put in a max of 35-40miles, up 44 from Eustis to Royal Trails. Did a ride thru of Royal Trails before coming to Maggie Jones Rd. Now i knew Maggie Jones connected to Paisley but wasnt sure how much was paved or dirt. Well come to find out it is almost ALL dirt. not just clay but Florida sugar sand. Needless to say a bit of a challenge on an almost 500lb bike, and almost lost it in the sand a few times. BEAUTIFUL countryside, too bad i missed most of it battling the sand traps. but at the end I hit pavement and was met by a huge sense of accomplishment by not dropping the bike. now this may sound odd but it was very challenging, had I been on an enduro or something no problem, but the cruiser is just not made for sand. anyways after that it was back towards Umatilla thru Paisley and stopping briefly near Clearwater Lake, enjoyed the ride and made it to Umatilla where I stopped by The Cycle Station for some company and a cold drink. Anyone whos not familier with this place it sells bikes and gear, does repairs and Trike conversions. It also has cold AC, cold drinks, and a comfortable room to relax. Makes a great pit stop and I stop everytime I go through Umatilla and North Lake County. Back to Eustis and then back home. Great day to ride, would have liked to ride some more but I was mainly just test driving the bike. I don't think I'll take Maggie Jones again, but I may make any Prospects reppin a bike to make the run. Anyways Im back on two wheels again, thanks for putting up with this rant...DGAF!

Jose Maria Olazabal returns to the course at British Masters
Published on Monday, October 10, 2016
WATFORD, England — Two-time Masters champion Jose Maria Olazabal will return to tournament golf for the first time in 18 months at the British Masters this week.
The 50-year-old Spaniard has been out of action because of pain in his joints caused by rheumatoid arthritis, and says he reached "rock bottom" in December 2015.
Olazabal says he will play the British Masters, held at The Grove course just north of London, starting Thursday, and then the Portugal Masters next week as a "test to see if I can stand up all day."
He will then make a decision about whether he will keep playing the European Tour or the senior circuit next season.
RELATED: MEMORABLE MOMENTS FROM 2016 RYDER CUP
Olazabal, Europe's Ryder Cup-winning captain in 2012, has not played competitive golf since the second round of the 2015 Masters.

EU: NGO law risks undermining Israel's democratic values
Keywords:Civil RightsEuropean UnionGreat Middle EastHuman RightsIsraelMiddle EastNGO
The European Union said on Tuesday an Israeli law targeting foreign-funded NGOs risked undermining democracy and free speech, and a leading Israeli rights group said it would appeal the legislation in the Supreme Court.
Israel's parliament passed the NGO bill during a late-night session on Monday by a vote of 57 to 48. The law will require NGOs that receive more than half their funding from foreign governments or bodies such as the European Union to provide details of their donations.
"The reporting requirements imposed by the new law go beyond the legitimate need for transparency and seem aimed at constraining the activities of these civil society organizations," the European Commission said.
"Israel enjoys a vibrant democracy, freedom of speech and a diverse civil society… This new legislation risks undermining these values," said the commission, the executive arm of the EU.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whose far-right justice minister sponsored the bill, said the law aimed to prevent "the absurd situation in which foreign countries interfere in Israel's internal affairs," without the public knowing.
Most of the Israeli NGOs that receive support from foreign governments are left-wing and many oppose the policies of Netanyahu's right-wing government towards the Palestinians.
Rightist groups – including those that finance settlement-building – are largely funded by Jewish foundations and wealthy individuals abroad, and will not be affected by the law.
The so-called "transparency bill", under discussion for more than a year, has previously drawn criticism from the United States and the opposition, with centre-left leader Isaac Herzog describing it as indicative of "budding fascism."
Peace Now, a foreign-funded NGO opposed to Israeli settlements, said the bill was tailored specifically to target only peace and human rights organizatons.
"Its true intention is to divert Israeli public discourse away from the occupation and to silence opposition," it said. "While the law will delegitimize left wing organizations, pro-settler NGOs that receive millions of dollars in foreign donations without any transparency will remain unaffected."
The group said it would challenge the law's validity before Israel's Supreme Court, even though it may not be subject to its provisions since less than half its funding may come from foreign governments in 2017, when the law takes effect.
Other rights groups were equally critical, with the Association for Civil Rights in Israel saying the law was "intended to harm organizations that promote democracy and worldviews" that differ from the governing coalition.
Human Rights Watch condemned the heavy burden and potentially large fines that the law can impose on foreign-funded groups. It said a better approach would have been to require the same level of transparency from all NGOs.

small RNA abundance [miss-] viz

My PhD was focused on small RNA sequencing data. I had a problem when I wanted to visualized the amount of small RNAs from the beginning. Here the problem, assume that you have a certain distribution of small RNA sequences abundance:

seq1: 1500 times

seq2: 3 times

seq3: 2 times

And you want to show the nucleotide composition of the first nucleotide. You can do it either counting the # of sequences (or abundance) in your set (1505) or the number of unique (different) sequences (3). You result will be very bias depending on that. If you go for the first option, you can obtain:

and if you go for the second option:

Which is the best option? well, although papers in small RNA data still continue showing the first option, I think that this should be validated some way.

When using unique sequences (only counting different sequences), you can under-estimated the real signal. In NGS, you can have a lot of noise, that may hide the biological signal using this approach. But, you can get the same, if you use directly the abundance, because if your set contains one sequence that is 90% of the data, you will get always a signal, that may be not important, for instance, ribosomal RNA that is expected to be there.

One solution is to plot the data according both values: percentage of abundance and percentage of unique sequences. And you can do this for each position and nucleotide.

We can conclude that at position 1, there are few sequences starting with A that are  90 of the data. Also we can see how the 60% of unique sequences have a G at position 10. This helps us to catch any biological signature if it exists, and avoid the misleading information in this kind of figures.
