HAPPY ENDINGS / ISR SUCCESS STORIES
As an organization of volunteers, we are immensely gratified as each and every one of our GSP orphans is rescued and placed with their new forever families. It's such a pleasure to publish Happy Endings stories and pictures about our rescues with their new families. Good luck to all of them, and thank you so much to all the ISR volunteers and adoptive families that continue to make our mission a success.
If you've adopted one of our ISR orphans and you don't see your story and pictures on this page, please feel free to email us your happy endings story and pictures to ilgsprescue@aol.com. We're happy to have you as part of our new family and would love to publish your story on this page.
RiRi - New home and new best friends!
We are so happy and beyond grateful this little sweet girl is now apart of our family. Buck took a little bit to warm up to her, but now they are like Bonnie and Clyde (two little rascals in a pod). Her separation anxiety was pretty bad at first, but little by little, she is building trust in us and has gotten much better! She was pretty frail when we first got her but now she's getting strong and filling out nicely. She's especially fond of her new mom, gives tons of kisses and could cuddle all day! We love her so much!
Tessa - healthy and happy!
Welcome home, Tessa! Tessa came to us as our first official foster dog from ISR, but it didn't take us long to realize our home would be her forever home. She came to us with some issues – heartworm positive, raw-looking tumorous growths on her eye and hip, and a little bit of a back hip issue; but, even with all the problems, she was, and is, one of the sweetest GSPs we've ever had in our home – and we've had many.
As I look back at my initial expectations when she arrived, I have to laugh. I knew it would be very, very hard for my husband to let Tessa leave our home once he laid eyes on her. He has a huge, soft heart for animals, and especially dogs. Even though I cautioned him she'd only be here a couple of weeks, I could see in his eyes he had very different plans. Right away I nicknamed Tessa, Tessa Maybe…meaning Maybe she'd stay and Maybe she wouldn't. I was determined our first foster wouldn't result in us being "foster failures." I just kept telling myself that within a couple of weeks, she'd be adopted by the ideal family in the ideal home. Boy was I wrong. We didn't think we could have another dog with Cooper, the GSP already in our home. Cooper has Addison's disease and is very easily upset by any change in her life (life-threatening to her), and we weren't successful in our previous attempt to adopt a puppy from ISR. But what I didn't account for was the fact that Tessa, with her extremely laid-back, sweet personality, would be the perfect addition to our home with Cooper. Cooper accepted her immediately and it was like Tessa had lived here all of her life.
I really can't say enough good things about the Illinois Shorthair Rescue organization. Without their commitment and continued efforts to rescue orphaned GSPs, especially those like Tessa that require extensive medical attention and care, many of these special dogs would never get a second chance for the life they deserve. ISR was well aware Tessa would require extensive and lengthy medical attention, which would also incur large medical bills for the organization; however, they still rescued her and made sure she received the care she needed, despite the costs. From the beginning of Tessa's rescue, ISR was fully committed to making her well again, which was a very long, painful journey for Tessa. Heartworm is a horrible illness and it takes several, painful treatments to kill the worms once they take over a dog's system. After the heartworm treatments, when Tessa was strong enough, it was time for surgery on her eye and hip.
So, here we are, about 8 months later, and Tessa May is still here. She's loving, happy, healthy, loyal, sweet, adorable, precious, and last but not least…ours. Thank you to everybody at the Illinois Shorthair Rescue who work so hard and are incredibly devoted to making sure German Shorthaired Pointers in need are given the second chance they deserve. Oh, and Tessa wants to thank you, too…"Woof! Woof!"
Bill, Kristy, Cooper and Tessa
P.S. If you've taken the time to read Tessa's story, please consider volunteering and/or donating to the ISR to help them continue their work. You'll find links throughout the site that allow you to complete a volunteer application, as well as links for making donations. Also…PLEASE take the necessary steps to prevent Heartworm in your pets. Heartworm is an easy disease to prevent. However, once contracted, heartworm treatment is costly…not to mention extremely painful, and sometimes deadly, for your beloved pet.
Ralphie (was Rascal)
According to Ralphie's new owner, Paul, Ralphie was just too perfect to let go. That's right, Ralphie arrived with Paul and his family a couple of weeks ago as a foster dog, but his status changed quickly. The family immediately fell in love with Ralphie, and Ralphie with them as soon as he arrived. It was quickly decided that Ralphie wasn't going anywhere. Ralphie even has a best friend in his 4-legged brother, Henry. They're inseparable! Congratulations to everybody!
Mo - A heartworm positive success story!
How many of you remember this handsome GSP? Mo, affectionately called Moses by his foster mom, came to us as a heartworm positive orphan. As with all heartworm dogs, the treatment was hard on Mo, but he made it through it with flying colors! We received an update from Mo's new family telling us they had just returned from the Vet and Mo has been cleared for activity and there are no foreseeable complications for him down the road. Hooray for Mo and a great big thank you to Mo's new family for having the courage and foresight to adopt one of our heartworm positive dogs, knowing that he'd still make a perfect companion. We're happy to know that Mo will have a long and happy life with his new family! As a reminder to our readers: Heartworm can be prevented! Please make sure you treat your dog with the recommended Vet approved preventative. If your dog contracts heartworm, it's a very costly treatment and is extremely hard on your dog as he/she goes through the treatment.
Weston is adopted! This beautiful GSP didn't last too long with ISR, which is what we always strive to achieve. Rescue, vetting, short-term fostering, and then finding the best possible home for our beloved orphans. Weston found his forever family and it looks like he's going to be one happy GSP. His new family describes him as "huggable cute", and we couldn't agree more! Good luck Weston.
Anzia
This beautiful little girl is Anzia, a litter mate of Fergus...the pups we rescued several months ago. Anzia will have 3 human siblings (one sister pictured) and a happy mom and dad, too! Of the four pups that ISR rescued, Anzia was the last one to find her family, but as the old saying goes, sometimes the best is saved for the last. We believe this could very likely be the case with Anzia. Have fun in your new home, Anzia. We know how happy your new family is to have you.
After being rescued from an animal abuse situation, Harriet found her special forever home with a family and another GSP named Greta. The GSPs are more than happy to be together, whether it's for a walk, run, or just cuddling with their people. Congratulations Harriet! You deserve all the best, and it looks like you found it.
Brandy and Ruger
Brandy and Ruger were adopted together by a great family that already had one dog, but felt they had room for 2 more! How amazing is that? Brandy and Ruger couldn't be happier, and it appears that the children are also pleased with the new additions to their family. We couldn't be happier for all concerned. Thanks to everyone who helped make this happen!
It seemed like our little "Chip off the ole' block" waited a very long time before he was scooped up by an amazing family, but what a happy dog he is now! His proud new dad is working on training him to hunt and says that Chippy is having lots of fun in the process. Chippy gets to go on a lot of walks and rides with his family and stays busy most of the time, which is heaven as far as GSPs are concerned! The family recently sent us an update and thanked us for bringing Chippy into their lives. So we want to thank the family on behalf of Chippy, too!
Our sweet little Gracie has found her forever home with a beautiful, loving family and a cute little Pug. Just look at how happy she looks! As a senior, Gracie was with ISR for a bit longer than a younger dog might be, but we're sure the wait was well worth it for her. At her "meet and greet" the family brought her treats baked especially for her, and when she got home they hid balls all over the place for her to find. Gracie has really taken to the youngest of the four children. They sleep together, run together, and Gracie doesn't let her new best friend our of her sight anytime she's home. Congratulations to all!
Jack SR and Gunnarson
Merry Christmas to Jack SR and Gunnarson! These lucky guys were adopted by the same family and everybody is delighted! Christmas time is full of miracles - at least for this family and two great GSPs!
Several months ago, ISR rescued a mama GSP and her pups. Little Bochi, now called Fergus, was the first pup to find his forever family. The Herbeks adopted him in September 2015, and we are happy to say he's turned into a fun, happy, perfect GSP! He adores his family and they adore him! The family is kind enough to send us lots of pictures of this guy along with some very humorous stories! Check out the video of Fergus and his brother at Christmas time as they dance the Conga line around the living room. Thanks Herbeks!
Hooray for Lucy! All of us at ISR couldn't be happier after hearing the good news that Lucy was adopted and has a wonderful new family! It took longer than we had hoped, but as with so many good things in life, the best are worth waiting for. And Lucy is proof of that. Lucy's new family sent a fantastic update a couple of days ago with these words, "She is absolutely amazing! We love her so much already. What a sweet girl! Of course, we are spoiling her...new toys and two new beds. My husband bought her a nametag shaped like a heart with rhinestones on it. LOL. We can't believe her previous owner gave her up. His loss is our gain!" Thanks so very much to Lucy's new family who saw the love in her eyes and didn't let her age deter them. Also, a big thanks to Lucy's foster family who kept her safe and happy while she waited for her new family!
Leo has a new family! Our lucky Leo landed with a wonderful family and now lives in Crystal Lake with a new mom, dad, 5 kids, a year-old Lab and a huge yard! It's apparent Leo hit the jackpot! Just think of all the fun this GSP is going to have in his new life! Thanks to everybody who helped in getting this guy where he's going to be so happy!
Mallorie didn't last too long with ISR. She was recently adopted and is shown here with her new English Setter sibling. Mallorie now lives in Danville and we are so grateful to her new family, and, as always, her foster parents, too! Good luck Mallorie
Moose a.k.a. Pete II
Moose's new family sent wonderful innformation recently about this lucky pup. Moose gets to run with his dad everyday - to and from different dog parks. He also takes long walks with his mom and dad in the evenings. Additionally, they said, "All of the lovely descriptions you provided us with him being an absolute lover without a mean bne in his body could not have been more accurate and thank you for all you've done to bring him into our lives - we are extremely grateful!" Thank you to the Baylors for adopting from ISR!
We're a little late spreading this happy news, but wanted to show you all how happy Scout is with her forever family. Here she is with her sister, Paige, and also living the good life doing some sun bathing on the deck. Her family is thrilled to have her join their family and hope to hunt with both girls this fall. Thanks to Scout's foster family and her new family for making this another GSP happy ending!
Haddie a.k.a. Izzy
Haddie (formerly Izzy) is happy, happy, HAPPY! And why shouldn't she be? She found her forever family and a wonderful new life. She's now a "downtown running dog" and her family loves their new "city pointer." Thank you so much Tim and Holly for loving Haddie as much as we're sure she already loves you! And, of course, thanks to Haddie's foster family, too!
Clancy has found his forever home! Clancy was the first GSP that ISR rescued from a puppy mill in Ohio. The poor guy had a rough journey, but we're sure he's going to be just fine now! Congratulations to Clancy's new family, and a great BIG heartfelt thank you to everybody wiorking behind the scenes - donors, transporters, sponsors, fosters and ISR volunteers - to get this guy to safety and to his new family. We couldn't do it without all of you! Have the happy life you deserve, Clancy!
Gunther a.k.a. Sam Elliott
New family and new fun is what Gunther was thinking when his life was changed forever by this group of wonderful guys - and another GSP, too! Happy trails predicited for this lucky GSP. Thanks to everybody involved in yet another happy ending!
Remember this big, beautiful guy? He wasn't with us long, and has found his forever family...including his beautiful full liver colored sister GSP, Diva. He was recently adopted by Bill and Chris who also adopted Diva from ISR almost a year ago Bill and Chris agreed to foster Moose while the original foster parents took a brief vacation. Well, it was love at first sight and Moose is a permanent member of the household! Another happy ending for all involved! Thanks everybody!
Remmi has a new forever home with a lot of happy children to play with her! She was such a good girl at her meet and greet with her new family, too! This little girl sure has come a long way in such a short time. From being a sad puppy mill dog to a new, proud GSP family member! Good luck Remmi, and thanks to your new family for accepting you into their home!
Here's a special report from Soleil's foster mom about Soleil's new family.
"I just wanted to share the great news that Soleil was adopted tonight! The family was so nice and so excited to add her to their family. She was even letting the boys pet her which is so amazing to me, knowing what she came from. She has come such a long way since I met her 3 months ago and I am so proud of her! Her new mom can't wait to start taking her to obedience class and would eventually like to have her trained as a therapy dog. Such big plans for my girl! And the boys just kep saying that they thought she was awesome! Her new, older fur sister was trying hard to get her to play, too. It seemed like the perfect fit for her. Before I left, she had made herself at home in her new crate and looked happy and content. Although there is still work ahead for her and her family, I think she's going to have an amazing life."
Congratulations Soleil to you and your new family!
Donner has been adopted and is happy, happy, happy! Donner's new family drove all the way from Michigan to meet this boy. They must have had a feeling that he was the one for them. Donner was with us for a while, but after meeting his new family, we know the wait was worth it! His new family recently sent a note saying that Donner and their son are already best buds! Way to go Donner and thanks to your new forever family, too!
Hooray for Buckshot! He didn't last too long as an orphan. Once his foster family had him for a short time, they decided they just couldn't let him go! Congratulations to everybody!
From Mike and Laura, Trigger's new family. "Hello all! We are so grateful to have the opportunity to foster and eventually adopt Trigger. In the 4 months or so that we have had him, he has come out of his shell and has taken great strides in adapting in his new home. He always wants to be by us or on is, lol. He tends to sleep on my chest in the evenings.
We are looking forward to bringing him with us to the lake to hopefully help him get over his fear of water. He is such a good boy and has been readily accepted by my Lab, Jackson, and my girlfriend, Laura's, Beagle, Daisy."
Hank II
Hank II found his forever family over the 4th of July weekend! Lots of special celebrating going on with Hank II and his new mom, Dorothy! His foster family hated to see him go, but they know Hank II is one big, happy GSP in his new home! Thanks to everyone who had a hand in making this happen
Look! It's Jamie with her new forever mom. Jamie is another one of our adorable orphans who found her new home with her foster family! Jamie was so sweet, that her foster mom, Marie, decided she just couldn't part with her. Jamie is a lucky lady to have found her new home in just one move! Thanks Marie!
Here's a picture of Cali with her new forever family. Jim and his wife are so excited about adopting Cali into their family, and ISR believes this is a perfect match! They understand German Shorthairs and they have a lot of family that will be visiting and keeping her company. We think Cali is going to be one happy GSP!
Gertie a.k.a. Patsy
Gertie - now Patsy - didn't last long as a rescue with us. Her foster family quickly adopted her! Her foster mom calls Patsy "her first foster failure...she came for the weekend and is staying forever!" Obviously, this isn't a failure at all, but a true success story! Patsy's not too keen on having her picture taken, but she wants you to know that she's very, very happy to be adopted! Thanks so much to Patsy's new forever family. First for adopting sweet Patsy, and secondly, for continuing to foster for ISR as we rescue GSPs.
Gus a.k.a. Buster
Buster - now Gus - didn't last long as a rescue with us. His foster family quickly adopted him and he's so happy, and so are his new family members! Gus has two older brothers (one furry and one human). As you can see from these photos, Gus is now a bonafide Chicago Blackhawk's fan and eagerly watches each game with his new family! GO HAWKS!!!!!
Jebadia (Jeb)
Jeb was a pretty young little guy when he arrived in our care. Abour a year old, very sweet, but a bit nervous about his new environment. After a short time with his foster parents/families (Thanks Kristi, Stephanie, Marie, and Marie's parents!) he's been adopted by a lovely family in Chicago. Jeb's new family has previous GSP experience, a fenced yard ,and a "stay at home" mom! His new "grandpa" used to train police dogs and is happily sharing tips with Jeb's mom. Jeb is one lucky guy! Thanks to everyone who helped make this happen for him!
Rocky came to ISR after an owner relinquish. They had to move and, unfortunately, couldn't take Rocky along. He was recently adopted by a special family in Union Grove. They traveled all the way to Lansing ,Michigan to adopt this pretty boy! Rocky's enjoying his new family and new life. Rocky knew a few tricks when he came to ISR - like knowing how to imitate a wink , and he loves playing frisbee. We're so very happy for Rocky and his new family. Also, a BIG thanks once again to to Trisha for fostering this special guy for ISR!
Baron's foster mom, Trisha, recently sent us some good news about Baron. Here it is, in her words. "It is official, Baron is in his new home! He is making himself at home already and is really going to be a happy boy. Below is a picture of Baron with his new dad, Doug. What a feat it was to get this picture...too many happy GSPs and one very curious one...Baron was sniffing everything trying to get acquainted with his new home. We tried to get a picture with the other dogs, but that just wasn't going to happen. I am so glad I was able to be a part of this experience. I think that I have made a new friend with this fellow GSP lover and he's already talking about getting all of our dogs together for play dates. Happy to know that I will be able to stay in contact with Baron too, because I sure do love that boy!" A big THANKs to Trisha, Ruth, and Doug and his family for finding it in their hearts to help Baron when he needed it most.
A great big CONGRATULATIONS to Sunny and her new furever family! Sunny stayed with ISR for a while because she was heartworm positive and also a senior lady, but we knew that her furever family would be along soon and give her the love and comfort she so deserves. Sunny was recently adopted by a loving family living in Warren, MI. This is what Sunny's new family has to say about her. "She is such a sweet girl. I've been calling her my lovely lady. She just really wants to please us. We got a great family picture last night with her welcome sign in the background. We feel so blessed to have her. " And we know Sunny is feeling very blessed, too. Thank you to all who helped make this happen for our special Sunny girl!
And the happy ending updates keep coming in! Here's Linc with his forever family. A note from the Deuchert's says, "Can't believe that Linc has been with them for one year! He has fit into our family beautifully. He loves to "stalk" ducks, geese and rabbits. He also thinks that he is a lap dog (at 73 pounds)...lol! Thanks again to the Willett family for fostering him!" This is a good time to remind everybody how important fostering is to our rescue organization. Without the family who fostered Linc, he wouldn't be the happy dog he is today! Thanks to Linc's new family and the Willets from ISR!
Maki (formerly Hershey)
Maki here! Just dropping by to wish everybody a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Love, love, LOVE my new family! Sure hope the rest of the ISR orphans find a home as wonderful of mine...very soon!
Here's another update on a happy ending for ISR alum, Pepper. She wants to remind everybody that during the cold weather it's best that we ALL dress appropriately - fur babies included. Pepper doesn't look the happiest in this picture, but it's pretty apparent that her family knows what's best for her! Happy New Year from Pepper and her family!
Otto (formerly Batman)
We affectionately named this precious guy Batman when he joined ISR, and he sure didn't stay with us for very long. Hooray for that! He is now called Otto and his new family, the Stibbe's, are totally in love with him. He is having fun investigating his new home - inside and outside - and spends lots of time cuddling on the couch with his new mom and dad. Oh - and check out his new Elmer Fudd hat! Have fun in your new home, Otto, and thanks so much to your new family for opening their home and hearts to you!
Elvis has left the building! Yes, folks, Elvis has found his forever home and he couldn't be happier! The family who adopted Elvis are also happy to have this gentle, loving GSP who is always a happy guy. During his time with ISR, Elvis was known as "Mr. Personality." Check out how happy he is...and how comfortable in his new home! Thanks to everybody who helped make Elvis' story a happy ending!
Izzy has joined her foster mom, Susan, as a permanent resident of the family. Susan fell in love with Izzy and just couldn't bear to let her go. Thanks so much, Susan, for fostering Izzy and for giving her a loving, wonderful permanent home!
With Waylon's sweet personality, it didn't take his foster mom, Jamie, long to realize he'd be a perfect match as a member of her family. She says, "he is such a lovng and friendly dog, and we're thrilled to have him as part of their family." Jamie also told us they're keeping his name because it's actually quite fitting. It seems he likes to "whine a lot and make strange sounds." So Waylon's no longer "A Ramblin' Man," and he couldn't be happier. Thanks to Jamie and her family for fostering for ISR and adopting Waylon, too!
This beautiful girl is Moxie, and she's a very happy girl as she joins Mark and Deb along with 2 other four-legged siblings. Her new family has an Aussie and another GSP, as well as other GSP's in their extended family. With all of the GSPs in her new family, sounds like she'll be getting plenty of exercise! Happy running and playing, Moxie! Special thanks to everybody who made this happen for Moxie and her new forever family!
Deacon is adopted! His new family is delighted to have him as their newest family member, and they think Deacon is just as happy as they are. As you can see from the pictures, it hasn't taken Deacon long to get comfortable in his new home with his new forever family. Another happy ending for one of our beautiful GSPs! A special thanks to his new family and to everybody who helped make this happen!
fAusti
Hawk is adopted! His new forever family has 2 children and 2 German Shepherds to keep him happy and busy. Hawk will have a lot of people and canine family to play tug-of-war with him, which is his favorite game. Hawk's 3-month journey with ISR has now come to a happy ending. Good luck to Hawk and his new family, and a special thanks to everyone who helped in this success story!
Wrigley (a.k.a. Tango)
Wrigley didn't spend much time as an ISR foster dog. Her newly approved foster family said they would help foster when ISR was in a jam. Already approved fosters, they then became approved adopters. They were quickly called into service to pick up their first foster...Tango. Within days it was obvious to the family that Wrigley just had to stay with them as their forever dog. Look at all the happy smiles! Congrats to all!
Kody (a.k.a. Draper)
Kody's meet and greet went very well and he is adopted! He now has a new canine brother, Charlie, and his new human sister, Becca, proudly announced that Draper will be sleeping with her! By the looks of all the fun Charlie and Kody are having in this video, Kody is going to have to learn how to maneuver a lot quicker to keep up with Charlie. Thanks so much to his new family and congratulations to Kody!
Matilda (a.k.a. Patches)
Say Hi to Matilda, formerly known as Patches. Matilda was recently sprung from a shelter and is now adopted! Matilda's' foster family fell in love with her and couldn't let her go. She's a sweet, loving lapdog and a bundle of energy outdoors. Matilda loves her new family, human and furry alike. Her new family, the Rowes, have told us that, "Matilda already has new friends in her neighborhood, especially across the street. She is a complete joy, and very loveable!" hanks to the Rowe family for fostering her and adding to our Happy Endings success stories!
Bailey (a.k.a. Babs)
This is Babs, now known as Bailey, the pretty girl that was named after the Build-A-Bear (BABs) Hugs Foundation grant awarded to ISR to help treat her illness. When Bailey arrived to the ISR, she was HW+ (heartworm positive), but now, she's healthy and in her forever home with her new family! Many thanks to the Build-A-Bear Workshop Bear Hugs Foundation AND Bailey's' new family! A special note from Bailey: "Please protect your dogs from heartworm disease by getting a yearly heartworm test followed by monthly preventative year round. Proper treatment CAN save a precious life!"
Here's an updated picture (third from left) of Bailey (a.k.a. Babs) from her new parents, Kent and Maureen, along with this message: "Bailey is doing one of her favorite things, which is watching the birds in the backyard. We appreciate the Build-A-Bear Foundation and Kristen (foster parent) for taking care of her and getting her well. Thank you for all the amazing work you do finding homes for these dogs." ISR also wishes to thank our wonderful foster parents and Bailey's new family, too, for sending us such a wonderful update on one of our alumni.
Katie's new mom sent ISR a wonderful note. From Mary: "I wanted to thank you for your assistance in making the adoption of Katie an easy and wonderful experience. My husband and I picked up Katie on August 5th (my birthday) and we have been thrilled and amazed at this beautiful loving dog ever since that day. I introduced Katie to my vet and she checked out great! Bruce and I never could have imagined adopting a dog with so many wonderful qualities but when we read about her, we just wanted to try to give her a loving home and already she has given us more. Thank you again for your kindness" And thank you, too, for finding room in your heart and home for our Katie!
Grish
Recently, ISR had a great weekend as three of our orphans were adopted! One of the lucky guys was Grish. As you can see from the photos, he and his new sister Greta are already fast friends and they love to play! And look at that big smile he has for his new dad! Thanks to all who helped this boy find his forever family! Grish was named in loving memory of our long-time volunteer, Ken Grish, who supported ISR for many years in our efforts to save as many GSPs as possible. Thank you to Grish's new forever family for giving Grish the loving home he deserves.
Tazer
Tazer, named after the awesome Blackhawk, Jonathan Toews, has found his forever family, and he couldn't be happier! Tazer was found as a stray and spent 3 months n a rural shelter. Eventually, Tazer will get to go to work at a golf course with his new dad, and he has a little person that he gets to take care of, too! Thank you so much to Tazer's new family for adopting him and allowing him to lead a long, happy life with you!
"Dottie is happily settled with her foster family in the Beverly neighborhood. Neil and his wife truly love her! She gets along well with the dogs at the park near their home, plus, she's learned some great obedience. Welcome to your forever home, Dottie." And thanks to Dottie's new family for adopting from ISR!
From Gert's foster mom/adopter:
"My ISR rescue, Cruise, had lost his buddy and was lonely, so I decided to foster again. After a couple of fosters, along came a new foster, Gert. In no time, she charmed us both and never left. Thanks to her sunny disposition, Gert makes friends wherever we go. She's sweet and relatively calm for a GSP. Every single day, I'm so glad to have her in my life. Thanks ISR." Also posting a picture of Gert and her GSP sibling, Cruise. Congratulations to the family and to Gert and Cruise! (Gert is on the right)
Congratulations to Oakley and his new forever family! Oakley was LONG overdue and he now has a brother, Grover. We couldn't be happier with this match for Oakley and his new family!

The Pulse caught up with Rich Hoover, "Superman Returns" Visual Effects Supervisor at Sony Pictures Imageworks, and asked him all about his position working on the film and some of the actual work he supervised...
Hoover and his team were based at Imageworks in Culver City, but he did travel down under to get some of the other shots. "I spent six months in Sydney Australia overseeing the green screen plates and background plates to prepare for our work which was very important in terms of preparation.
"A plate is a piece of live action photography that isn't complete in and of itself," Hoover explained. "It is a partial piece of live action that needs some other elements added in later. It's those missing pieces of photography and imagery that we provided to the shots."
When all was said and done, Hoover and his team were pleased with every scene they worked on, but there was one scene that stood out in his mind as the best. "There was a shot called 'Listening Post' where Superman is hovering over the world listening," Hoover began. "It was entirely digital and we worked on it for a long time, trying out many ideas and techniques to bring it to the screen. That shot definitely represents everything that we learned throughout this process and it was one of the best moments in the film."

(b) To qualify for a tax deferral under this act the real estate tax due on the property for which the deferral is sought, as reduced by abatements and exemptions, if any, for the year in question shall have increased by at least 10 per cent over the prior year's real estate tax due, as reduced by abatements and exemptions, if any.
(c) A tax deferral under this act shall not be allowed to an individual with an income that exceeds the limit on taxpayer's total income established in clause (i) of paragraph (3) of subsection (k) of section 6 of chapter 62 of the General Laws and adjusted pursuant to paragraph (4) of said subsection (k) of said section 6 of said chapter 62, whichever such income limit applies to the individual's filing status. As used in this act, income shall have the same meaning as taxpayer's total income, as defined in paragraph (1) of said subsection (k) of said section 6 of said chapter 62.
(d) In determining the total period of ownership of an applicant for deferral under this act, the time during which the same property was owned by a husband or wife individually shall be added to the period during which such property was owned by said husband and wife jointly.
SECTION 3. (a) Any person eligible for the tax deferral program authorized by this act may, within 3 months after the date on which the bill or notice of assessment was sent or by April 1 of the tax year, whichever is later, apply to the board of assessors of the city of Boston for a deferral of all or part of such real property from taxation during such year; provided, however, that in the case of real estate owned by a person jointly or as a tenant in common with a person not his or her spouse, the deferral shall not exceed that proportion of total valuation which the amount of his or her interest in such property bears to the whole tax due. The board of assessors shall grant such deferral; provided, that the owner or owners of such real property have entered into a tax deferral and recovery agreement with said board of assessors on behalf of the city of Boston. The tax deferral and recovery agreement shall provide:
(1) that no sale or transfer of such real property may be consummated unless the taxes which would otherwise have been assessed on the exempt portion of the real property have been paid, with interest at the rate of 4 per cent per annum or such lesser or higher rate as may be determined by the legislative body of the city of Boston, subject to its charter, no later than the beginning of the fiscal year to which the tax relates;
(2) that the total amount of such taxes due, plus interest, for the current and prior years does not exceed 50 per cent of the owner's proportional share of the full and fair cash value of such real property;
(3) that upon the demise of the owner of such real property, the heirs-at-law, assignees or devisees shall have first priority to said real property by paying in full the total taxes which would otherwise have been due, plus interest; provided, however, that if such heir-at-law, assignee or devisee is a surviving spouse who enters into a tax deferral and recovery agreement under this act, payment of the taxes and interest due shall not be required during the life of such surviving spouse. Any additional taxes deferred, plus interest, on said real property under a tax deferral and recovery agreement signed by a surviving spouse shall be added to the taxes and interest which would otherwise have been due, and the payment of which has been postponed during the life of such surviving spouse, in determining the 50 per cent requirement of paragraph (2);
(4) that if the taxes due, plus interest, are not paid by the heir-at-law, assignee or devisee or if payment is not postponed during the life of a surviving spouse, such taxes and interest shall be recovered from the estate of the owner; and
(5) that any joint owner or mortgagee holding a mortgage on such property has given written prior approval for such agreement, which shall be made a part of such agreement.
(b) In the case of each tax deferral and recovery agreement entered into between the board of assessors of the city of Boston and the owner or owners of such real property, said board of assessors shall forthwith cause to be recorded in the registry of deeds of the county or district in which the city or town is situated a statement of their action which shall constitute a lien upon the land covered by such agreement for such taxes as have been assessed under the provisions of this chapter, plus interest as hereinafter provided. A lien filed pursuant to this act shall be subsequent to any liens securing a reverse mortgage, excepting shared appreciation instruments. The statement shall name the owner or owners and shall include a description of the land adequate for identification. Unless such a statement is recorded the lien shall not be effective with respect to a bona fide purchaser or other transferee without actual knowledge of such lien. The filing fee for such statement shall be paid by the city of Boston and shall be added to and become a part of the taxes due.
(c) In addition to the remedies provided by this act, the recorded statement of the assessors provided for in this section shall have the same force and effect as a valid taking for nonpayment of taxes pursuant to section 53 of chapter 60 of the General Laws, provided that:
(1) interest shall accrue at the rate provided in this act until the conveyance of the property or the death of the person whose taxes have been deferred, after which time interest shall accrue at the rate provided in section 62 of said chapter 60;
(2) no assignment of the city of Boston's interest may be made pursuant to section 52 of said chapter 60; and
(3) no petition under section 65 of chapter 60 to foreclose the lien may be filed before the expiration of 6 months from the conveyance of the property or the death of the person whose taxes have been deferred.
SECTION 4. This act shall take effect as of July 1, 2016.
SECTION 5. The authority to grant a deferral under this act shall expire on June 30, 2018 unless extended by a vote of the Boston city council and approval of the mayor.

Rain, rain, rain — we've had nothing but for the last week, some of it pretty hard. I should have run Wildwood today, but I couldn't face the mud. Instead, I ran around SW Portland, up and down the hilliest routes I could find. At least it didn't rain much while I was actually out there. I took this 21-miler nice and slow, and had no problems along the way. Halfway through I stopped into a store to buy a bag of potato chips. Mmmmm chips.
There was a small amount of trail-running along the way, including a nice section through Marshall Park, which I'd never seen before. There was a good — and confusing — trail network throughout the woods in this park, crossing pretty creeks and switchbacking up steep hillsides. There was also a playground seemingly in the middle of the woods… though I think there was street access close by.
A creek-side trail in Marshall Park.
That's 48.8 miles for the week so far. Tomorrow I'll take a recovery jog to make it an even 50, my first ever 50-mile week. With 182.7 miles to date, May is now my all-time highest-mileage month as well.
I've registered for the Timberline Marathon, which is on June 5th, less than two weeks away. I'm going to be doing it as a training run, not a race. It starts and finishes in the same place as the Mount Hood PCT 50, and shares some of the same trails, so it should be excellent practice. I'm not sure whether to feel pride, fear, or loathing that I've reached the point where I think I can run a marathon just for training.
My energy levels have been sagging the last few days. I don't know whether it's from my increased mileage, a little bit of a cold, allergies, or just our crummy rainy dark cold weather this Spring. Other than the general fatigue, all my body parts are feeling pretty good. My worst recent complaint is a small but painful blister on the right top side of my left index toe. I also have a some tightness in my right calf that I've been keeping an eye on. I'm still planning for this week to be my big first-ever 50-mile week.
The eighteen miles was easy enough. I deliberately didn't eat anything along the way, hoping to get some extra endocrine-system training in and make me a more efficient fat-burner. Even so, I didn't feel bonky toward the end. I drank some homemade sports drink which Sweetie and I concocted from water, lemon and lime juice, sugar, and opened-up salt capsules. (These salt capsules have other mineral salts and electrolytes besides just good old sodium chloride.) It worked really well. Taking it easy, I did the out-and-back in 2:41, which is a nine-minutes-per-mile average pace.
I'm running six days a week now, which part of me thinks is just plain crazy. What do I think I am, a real runner or something? Last week, I logged 41 miles, with a long run of just 12. This week I'm aiming for 45, with an 18-mile long run. I allow myself one faster run on Mondays and the rest of the week take it pretty easy. On the weekends I run on trails, and during the week I try to do streets with lots of hills.
The problem with my right ankle has gone away and the left knee is feeling good for the most part.
I've run six days in a row now, which might be a record. I can't remember. They were all pretty easy runs, and the longest was eight miles, so I don't think I'm doing my recovery much damage… though I am starting to feel a little worse for wear. My back, tweaked lifting bags of rocks during the weekend, is still a little sore at times. My right ankle has been hurting a little since the marathon and I'm starting to worry that maybe it is getting worse, not better. Well, tomorrow's a rest day. I had better rest as hard as I can.
Meanwhile, did you know that the World 24-hour run championships are being held right now? They are 15 hours into it as I write. Live leaderboard. American Scott Jurek is in second; he's said he wants to break the American 24-hour record, which I think is 162 miles. New York Times food write Mark Bittman did an interesting piece on Jurek, who is a vegan. I guess Bittman runs a bit, too.
Saturday I ran eight miles in Forest Park, on Wildwood Trail. (Mileposts 9.25 to 11 to 7 to 9.25). My legs felt recovered but, as is usual at this stage post-marathon, the rest of me was not entirely there yet. I was going nice and slow, but it still felt like a lot of work. It also seemed to take forever. Maybe my mind just wasn't in it; Saturday was my 40th birthday. I wouldn't have thought I would, but I ended up dwelling on that some.
That night I absolutely gorged myself on pizza from Apizza Scholls, which, let me once again plug, is the best pizza in the world. Or at least somewhere in the top 10. I crammed slice after slice down my gullet, washing it down with wine, cocktails, and chocolate mousse pie. I regret nothing.
After a long day of yard and patio work Sunday, I went for an easy four-mile run in my neighborhood hills. Other than getting pretty hot and sweaty, that one went fine. I am planning on adding Sunday as a regular running day now and running six out of seven days as I work my way up to fifty mile weeks.

Schnapps distillation in convenient 10 liter size for highly aromatic fruit and fine spirits - ideal for traditional double distillation.
Traditional schnapps distillation - thanks to the wide head with the collection channel, this still allows you to carry over a lot of the aroma from the mash into the distillate. We particularly recommend this Arabia still for schnapps distillation, especially when you would like to distil twice in the traditional way. You obtain about a 25% raw spirit which contains all the aroma from the original mash from the first run - only in the second run do you refine the fine spirit enough that you obtain 50 to 60% proof alcohol. Ideal for all fruit brandy and fine spirits which you can lovingly and traditionally distil.
The Arabia still consists of the 10 liter capacity boiler, the wide head with the special integrated collection channel (so that the distillate partially condenses on the head), the sideways, descending swan neck and a worm condenser in a copper cauldron with cool warer intake and drain.
All in all, a very nice still which distills highly aromatic distillates. The version with the built-in "Al-Ambik®" thermometer is definitely recommended for schnapps distillation. Nevertheless, this fine still is also suitable for the production of herbal distillates and, with some talent for improvisation, even for steam distillation of flavored spirits or steam dragging for essential oils.

Febreze is one of the most popular air fresheners produced by the famous American company Procter & Gamble. According to the manufacturer, this product works in a unique way by trapping or shutting in molecules of odor in a chemical that comes in the shape of a donut.
So, it is very important to remember that Febreze doesn't really remove odor molecules or clean the item. The molecules of odor are there, but you won't be able to smell them because the chemical is covering this smell. In other words, you can only smell the chemical.
This fact alone should make you skeptical. It is a well-known fact that inhalation of chemicals is bad for the health and some of the ingredients found in Febreze and other similar products are capable of causing irritation in the lungs. What is even more shocking, this product should actually be inhaled.
If you want to do some research, you will notice that there is not much information about Febreze and similar products on the Internet.
However, the EWG or Environmental Working Group has run a test for all the ingredients found in one P&G product called Febreze Air Effects.
The test conducted by EWG has revealed some shocking facts. For example, although P&G has placed only three ingredients on the label, there are actually 87 chemicals in their product.
Of course, we are talking about only one product from the Febreze line, but the huge difference in the number of listed ingredients leaves room for suspicion about the rest of their air fresheners and their safety.
The following is a list of only some of the chemicals that were identified with the EWG test conducted on Febreze Air Effects air freshener. All of them are toxic to humans .
BHT – BHT is an endocrine disruptor, neurotoxin and causes toxicity in non-reproductive organs, immune system and irritates both lungs and eyes.
Fragrance – This ingredient is listed, but this still doesn't change the fact that it is an immunotoxin, neurotoxin and allergen.
Acetaldehyde – Acetaldehyde has been linked to cancer and it is known as a strong toxin that affects immunity, reproduction and development. In addition it irritates the eyes, lungs and skin.
Propylene Glycol – It causes allergies, cancer, builds-up in the body, toxic to immune system and non-reproductive organ system. It is also a skin, lung and eye irritant.
Limonene – It irritates the eyes, skin and lungs. It is an allergen and immunotoxin.
Alcohol denatured – This is another ingredient that is officially listed in Febreze. It was related to cancer and can lead to reproductive and developmental toxicity.
Methyl pyrrolidone – Immunotoxin and allergen, toxic to development and reproduction and acts as a lung, eye and skin irritation.
Ethyl acetate – This ingredient was linked to neurotoxicity, reproductive and developmental toxicity, lung, skin and eye irritation and organic system toxicity.
Butylphenyl methylpropional – immunotoxin, allergen and lung, eyes and skin irritation.
Linalool – Causes irritation in eyes, lungs and skin, a well-known immunotoxin and allergen.
Geraniol – Can contribute to the development of allergies. Geraniol is also linked to organic system toxicity, immunotoxicity and eyes, lung and skin irritation.
Benzaldehyde – neurotoxin that can irritate the lungs, eyes and skin.
Hexyl cinnamal – immunotoxin, allergen, irritator of the skin, lung and eyes.
Ethylhexanol – reproductive and developmental toxin that can cause irritation in the eyes, lungs and skin.
And few dozen more. You can check the list at the Environmental Working Group website.
In addition, you can view the complete report prepared by EWG about the potential dangers of using Febreze and similar cleaners on the following link.
Before we suggest some solutions, we should point out that the use of these products is not only risky to our health, but the fact is that they are not cleaning the items and air or completely removing odor. They are used for covering the odor. The odor molecules continue to exist and maybe they are continuing to bring problems to your health.
Houseplants that have the ability to purify the air – In this article you will find a list of the best houseplants that can help you freshen indoor air and their efficiency.
Removing Odor naturally – In this article you will find out how you can actually remove odors naturally for all types of surfaces….easily and safely.
Actually clean the air – Febreze doesn't clean the air it just covers the odors. However, essential oils can actually clean the air and remove odor for good.
There is no need to chemicals, experiencing their side effects and spending tons of money. You can take few simple steps that will keep your home healthy and fresh.

Gerald Grob: Playing Games with Data »
Daniel Katz: Why the NY Times Is Wrong About Annual Testing
February 22, 2015 //
Daniel S. Katz of Serin Hall University explains here why the New York Times is wrong about the value of annual standardized testing.
The editorial acknowled that there is too much testing, but failed to acknowledge that this condition is the result of federal mandates. It credits the high-stakes testing regime with higher achievement but doesn't recognize that test scores increased faster before NCLB.
It is hard to believe that the Néw York Times editorial board is so out of touch with parents, students, teachers, and the realities of school.
Categories NCLB (No Child Left Behind), Poverty, Race to the Top, Segregation , Racial Isolation and Integration, Standardized Testing
Joanna Best says:
Dr. Ravitch, what do you think it was that made achievement improve at a faster rate before NCLB? What did NCLB take away?
Joanna,
In any situation attempting "improvement" the first "improvements" will be the easiest and largest. Each successive attempt becomes harder and there is less to improve. At least that has been my experiences with various forms of "improvement" over the years in business, sports, etc. . . ..
I still wish someone would join me in contemplating a "what if we never had NCLB" scenario so we can begin imagining a better reality and imagine it into reality. I've been asking the question for 2 1/2 years now. What should we have had? I guess that would have been a good time for someone to say, " wait a minute, wait a minute; states have their own boards to set policy, etc".
Achievement in school as law. I scratch my head.
Dienne says:
Research shows that the more you focus on the results/outcome of people's effort and trying to "measure" such outcome, the less intrinsically motivated people become in the task itself. If you're too busy worrying about getting a good score on a test, then you're not concentrating as much on the material itself and understanding how that material is relevant to your life, rather than simply how it's relevant to the test (which, BTW, is often true of teacher-generated tests too). So the more we've focused on standardized tests, the less focused students have become on actual learning. I'm sort of amazed that test scores continue to go up at all, even if slowly, but I attribute that to the fact that students have simply gotten really good at taking tests.
If we want to improve schools and learning (and, in fact, make schools truly a place for learning), we need to focus a lot more on bringing out students' intrinsic motivation, curiosity, desire to explore, etc. by figuring out what it is that kids want to know and using that to leverage the skills and knowledge they need to know.
TAGrO!
You and me both!!
Susan Lee Schwartz says:
What was lost was the voice of the teacher, the autonomy to meet each child's needs, to plan to meet the objectives as the professional education ensure, and the talent to put it all together, to motivate and facilitate learning as dictated by the needs of the children.
When top–down mandates from charlatans and non-educators replaced the professional practitioner and silence the teacher's protest, the institution of public education failed… so "THEY' could fix it.
Titleonetexasteacher says:
jcgrim says:
"If your school, and your school day, is not about students collaborating, connecting, and building knowledge and understandings together, why would anyone come? Serious question. If students want to learn in isolation; if they want to sit at a desk and work on their own stuff, occasionally checking in with an "expert," they have no reason to come to school. They can do a lot better at home, or at their local coffee shop or even the public library, where both the coffee and the WiFi connection will be better."
http://speedchange.blogspot.com/2011/09/if-school-isnt-for-collaborating-why.html
We need to understand that the kids who are not good test takers have gifts to offer society.Until we face our cultural history we'll continue to believe in the test score fairy dust.
Ira Socol has a brilliant post on Grit & History and it's influence on today's reform movement:
http://speedchange.blogspot.com/2015/02/grit-and-history.html
Debra Jennings says:
One thing to consider in looking at pre-NCLB results is the extent to which schools and districts were excluding students with the greatest challenges, due to disability and/or language proficiency, in their testing systems. Prior to NCLB, there was minimal accountability for student participation rates. In far too many districts across the states, students receiving special education services — who have a broad range of abilities — were not included in testing. English language learners were not included in testing. Other students who may not have been identified but were surmised to be poor test takers were taken on field trips on testing days or not required to report to school. If a student with behavior challenges happened to be suspended on testing days, there was no opportunity for make-up. Large percentages of students were not counted. It is estimated that one in 5 of us have learning or behavior challenges that might interfere with learning. When greater percentages of students are tested, whether for an ACT or SAT or state assessment, average scores will go down.
Where schools are embracing the need for equitable access to general education for all students, and putting into place the supports and services, they are seeing improved results after these initial dips. Where districts are using tests to starve and close schools and are shuffling around the neediest students in order to make some schools look better, their results continue to dive. In the ed reform-y places that believe that CCCS in and of itself is universal magic and special education supports, services and accommodations are not cost-effective, there wheels are spinning and whatever gains they might believe that they have had are stuck in their mud.
Michael Brocoum says:
Why so hard to believe that NYTimes editorial board is out of touch? Recall they supported Quinn for mayor. Talk about out of touch!
It is hard to believe that they have no journalist follow you blog, as I do for Oped.
My links, according to readers are opening the via that you provide on the debacle, and to the wonderful people who you follow and whose essays and articles you offer to a reader.
But then, real journalism is no the forte of The Times, any longer!
David Greene says:
It seems it is at odds even with its own reporters.
Arnold Danzig says:
Disappointing that NYT editorial so flawed in thinking on testing and student achievement in general. Maybe our fault for not communicating better with journalists and editorial writers and crafting a more credible story of what schools do well (and not so well).
NO! It is not "our fault". That information is widely available to anyone who cares to look for it. NYT doesn't care to look for it because as U. Sinclair states 'It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.' And the NYT knows who is buttering its butt, oops, I mean bread.
That's wat I said. No journalism done there.
John Bestor says:
I couldn't agree with you more, Daniel Katz. Thank you for another incisive, well-articulated piece. Earlier this week, I was catching up in my reading of the New York Times; at one time, I was angry at myself when I missed a day reading "all the news that's fit to print", but lately I have found myself reading news from the blogosphere because education news is what I seek since my profession has been aggressively under assault by corporate education reformers for several years now. I read several letters from readers in reply to an Op-Ed Contributor I had missed ten days previously who was calling for the continuation of annual standardized testing in our public schools. All five letter writers, undoubtedly culled from hundreds of letters from readers, shared their convictions that annual standardized testing is not necessary to improve either student learning or teacher effectiveness. Each letter writer had a stake in the education of children, either as a teacher, or retired teacher, former superintendent of schools and current director of leadership and reform programs at Bank Street College of Education, a professor at Teacher's College, and finally the leader of the AFT teacher's union; Ms. Weingarten, in fact, wrote the most carefully measured piece while still calling for change in this yearly ritual of standardized testing.
After reading the letters, I went back to read the original Op-Ed by the invited contributor, Chad Aldeman, who attempted to delineate the continued need for annual standardized assessments. I won't bore you with his points because they are specious, self-serving, and have been repeated by the corporate education reform proponents ad nauseum. The point of my response has more to do with the lack of transparency on the part of the New York Times than the right of the writer to contribute his opinions about testing. Chad Aldeman is identified by the Times as an "associate partner at Bellwether Education Partners", Inc., which is, according to the Times, "a non-profit educational research and consulting firm". He had also worked as an advisor to the USDOE from 2011 to 2012 which, by the way, is a pretty short period of time when you think about it. Wanting to know more, I googled Bellwether Education Partners to learn about them. I quickly learned that they had received a nearly $2 million ($1.9 and change) Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation grant in November 2013 "to support CoreSpring, an initiative to build a bank of shared Common Core aligned formative item and assessment resources that assure improved discoverability, availability, and interoperability" (whatever that all means). They had previously had a 2010 Bill & Melinda Gates grant for $809K "to support a national teacher leader fellowship program". The leaders of Bellwether were predominantly culled from Bain/McKinsey/TFA, and this non-profit paid its top directors salaries and bonuses ranging from $138K to $337K. Bellwether Education Partners, Inc., works closely with the NY Center for Charter Schools, NewSchool Venture Fund, Stand for Children, and other groups allied with the continued privatization of America's public schools.
As a result, I am deeply troubled by the NY Times' choice for contributor on this "hot topic" that is currently under review by the US Congress as it considers re-authorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act [ESEA] under which NCLB had been written into law thirteen years ago. As many have eloquently stated, the mandate for annual standardized testing has been in place for at least thirteen years, although many states and districts had their own standardized testing protocols well before NCLB had been passed. It has a proven track record of failure: failure to inform instruction of students, failure to close the educational gap between neighboring school districts, failure to improve school accountability and student learning. Other nations whose education policies we seem to admire do not undertake such costly and meaningless annual standardized testing. To continue such failed policies would simply be foolhardy by any standard other than that of the corporate education reform advocates, lobbyists, and entrepreneurs who seek to benefit themselves, those they represent, and those providers of educational materials to schools, successfully tapping into that $500 billion growth industry that Rupert Murdoch spoke of in 2010.
Since the NY Times is still considered by many as the "gold standard" of news reporting, it is egregious that the Times would provide a representative of a group that is fully enmeshed and highly supportive of one-side of this controversial debate unfettered access to its editorial page. Sadly, the NY Times has lost its independence as an honest arbiter of the news; it is a shame!
Follow the money! So much for truth in journalism.
I hope you sent your letter to the publisher.
I have read The Times for most of my adult life.
I, too, wonder with all the experts who Diane features here, why such specious articles are printed. But then, why does Randi Weingarten have to put up her wonderful essays as an "advertisement."
Why was it NOT Diane Ravitch who made the truth clear?
The answer is simple… power is in the hands of those who have access. Money today has access to the people at the top of The NY Times. They dare not offend those upon whom they depend, and the truth is anathema the oligarchs who run the show.
The answer is here:

TC says:
Annual standardized testing? What will they tell us that a half century of testing has not already told? The information is in, the conclusions can be drawn, what is the action to remedy the problem?
Brooke Lincoln says:
PLEASE everyone send your comments to the NY Times. What did NCLB do to decrease the rate of improvement of our students? Time to teach and learn was replaced by MANY days of standardized testing, test prep, and mountains of record-keeping and paperwork. 'No test left behind' is a more appropriate description of NCLB.
Did it ever occur to the NY Times that Big Business is actively trying to buy Education, and that the testing scenario is a part of the Big Business's goal to own it ALL.
They want to own the Charters and they want to mandate buying their computers, their software, their instructional materials, and TESTS.
The old tests, (Iowa, STAR) were actually standardized tests so we could assess a district's and student's achievement.
But the PARCC and SBAC are assessments, computer adaptive and do not evaluate in scientific methodology how districts and students are really doing.
It's not a problem to expect high standards, but Big Business taking over Education is a Big Problem and they are not at all interested in high standards, only in Big Profits.
It was interesting to note that the years that were the most effective in reducing the performance gap were in the seventies and eighties when the federal government actually enforced the desegregation laws. We should learn from this. We all do better when we learn together in a diverse setting. Separate is never equal as we know from experience.

Thanks linking to my work, Dr. Ravitch — we all appreciate how instrumental you've been in getting exposure for these issues! Just a quick FYI — I'm at Seton Hall, not Rutgers!
GE2L2R says:
Your post would make a great Op-Ed piece for next week's New York Times: would they print it?
Not sure — I'm submitting a letter to the editor, but the Times board has been very closed on education issues for some time now.
The NY Times education editorials have been consistently pro-trsting, pro-charter, pro-NCLB, PRO-Race to the Top, pro-trashing public schools. On the rare occasion when a dissident editorial appears, it must be because the usual education writer is on vacation.
The bottom line is the Obama Administration and Congress have not accepted responsibility for their role in increased testing nor offered any concessions on it.
They haven't moved an inch. They're offering nothing.
There hasn't even been an admission from the Obama Administration or ed reform governors that VAM drove an increase in testing. In fact, they're all still pushing to expand VAM.
That's why I don't believe they think it's a real problem. If they did believe it was a real problem, they would actually address it. At the very least, someone in ed reform leadership would admit they contributed to it. They haven't even taken the first step.
Chiara,
As long as there is VAM, there will be overemphasis on tests. You are right. Duncan considers VAM his centerpiece.
This blame-shifting and dodging started months ago. Both Bill Gates and Michelle Rhee blamed state and local actors for over-testing.
There's very little accountability in ed reform. Their default position seems to be "blame someone else!"
Congress writes federal law. Why would the NYTimes identify part of the problem as the Obama Administration and then order states to fix it? Why shouldn't DC be accountable?
I believe it was Larry Summers, Obama's former economics advisor who said, "never admit you are wrong" or words to that effect. That's precisely what they are doing.
Which is why Lily Eskelsen Garcia called DOE an "evidence free zone". I could see being intrigued by VAM at the beginning, but heavens how can anyone cling to it at this point is beyond me.
That's why I don't believe they think it's a real problem. If they did believe it was a real problem, they would actually address it. "
I AM POSTING THE REST OF MY REPLY on the larger comment section, as I do not want it to crawl along the side of this blog.. See it here Chiara, but then, you have heard me say all this before. I know fighting VAM is the good fight that must be fought, and which can be won now that Diane and Anthony are making it the target, but….
I say that here and everywhere, but in reference to a problem that is NOT being addressed for political reasons. The UFT cannot address it, and other than on the sites of the activists who talk about it, for a decade, who offer the evidence of the collusion and corruption, who tell the stories of trauma of tens of thousands of dedicated Americans when that first assault took out tenure BEFORE VAM.
To Chiara and others who marvel at the mendacity of th eNY Times:
It is a conspiracy with deep roots my friend, 85 people own more wealth that the rest of the world combined. They need to dumb us down, in order to maintain power. The mendacity we see, the lies and propaganda are swallowed whole by gullible, uninformed citizens who re-elect the same corrupt charlatans.
Teachers like us who really educate children are anathema to the oligarchs.. ALL the media is purchased.
Diane wrote 2 books that described the onslaught on the children's right to learn.
Activists have been telling of the civil rights abuse of Americans who happen to be teachers for over a decade.

The story is OUT there…they are purposely muddying the waters by showing 'both sides' of a story that has only one side…that to the children.

Where is Michael Moore? I wrote to him.
I don't think it's "mendacity" so much as a general consensus that kids are "coddled" and people are just whining.
The part that amuses me is how all these adults were coddled! Not a one of these people took a 9 hour test when they were in 3rd grade.
From what great heights of rigor are they lecturing us?
Yes. Joanna Best's "scratching my head" comment had me scratching my head. Way to hyperbolize reasonable dissent. The whole country of children, teachers, and parents are whining because "achievement is law" in school. How disingenuous. Lol. Is there a troll school for Broad as well as a Sup one.
SPSfacebook says:
The so-called decrease in the achievement gap is based on faulty data. If you spent most of the year teaching to the test, score do improve. But it does nothing to improve cognitive growth. And many students who do well on the elementary level fail miserably when they get to middle and high school. Because of testing, we are ignoring remediation. We are ignoring social factors. We are ignoting the whole child. Thankfully many of the comments questioned the validity of that statement.
As far as I know, I am the only one who is standing up and saying, "Yes, we need unions or they would murder us, having incarcerated and tottered us already, with impunity BECAUSE THE ONLY LEGAL LEGS WE TEACHERS HAVE COMES FROM THEM, BUT we need teachers to lead that union to do the right thing, and to rid the union of th empower-brokers and cronies who were complicit in the first assault on teachers, which took out ALL the veteran teachers while the media screamed "incompetent, bad teacher."
I experienced it. I have spoken over a decade to hundreds .of others. VAM is only step 2, and until the truth is spoken about everywhere, nothing can change.
This truth is simple… and I have said it before, and will say it again, even if I am a lone voice here…. teachers were deprived of their civil rights in a way that no ethnic minority would tolerate, and yet nowhere in the media, and not here, does anyone STAND-UP and say: THE UNIONS LET THIS HAPPEN.
I have a contract on my desk with the UFT, which outlines the grievance procedures.
None of the steps in the procedure were in play, and the union MANHATTAN BUREAU REP silenced me on that day when a superintendent took it upon her self to issue a "found Guilty' LETTER" with no investigation, and no chance for me to hear any allegations, no putting out of charges so i could defend myself."
Randi knows this, as the UFT attorney Adam Ross, who saw all my evidence of the site reps collusion and the Bureau chief's 'incompetence'.
We will continue to be so much fodder for those gunning us down, until the unions are reformed, until teachers demand theySTEP UP AND ENSURE OUR SITH AMENDMENT RIGHTS, AS OUTLINED IN OUR CONTRACTS AND IN THE LAW OF THE LAND!
ONLY THEN, can no one allege our incompetence, when EVIDENCE is the rule. VAM will die in the courts because it is not based on observable reality, on evidence and it ignores the rights of an American to stand up and say, "Hey, that is pure horse-poop. HERE IS THE EVIDENCE OF MY COMPETENCY.
I wrote this in 2004. I have published it here and everywhere many times.
I was famous. I was the teacher everyone wants. If you have never read it, then read it NOW , and know it is no rant… every word is true…
This happened to ME! And as Betsy Combier documents, to the veteran teachers of nyc.
How do you think they did this to the largest school district in America.
Because the union is absent, it continues to this day… as Francesco Portelos knows. Read what they did to this American, because they COULD, HAVING destroyed his practice, and even as he was made into a lowly sub, he refused to leave… as I refused under harassment that nearly destroyed my mental health.
http://protectportelos.org/does-workplace-bullying-continues-my-33-hrs-behind-bars/
and go here and see Portelos fight back:
He is suing, something I did not do… I ran for my life, as thousands of others did, abandoning a career, a calling that I Loved.
Hey, they applied this process of abuse, to Lenny Isenberg in LA (in 2002 which is 12 years ago)
http://www.perdaily.com/2010/02/yesterday-i-was-removed-from-class-in-handcuffs.html
when he blew the whistle on social promotions.. This happened in this cesspool of bureaucracy, because without the unions THEY ARE LAWLESS!!!!

http://www.perdaily.com/2015/01/were-you-terminated-or-forced-to-retire-from-lausd-based-on-fabricated-charges.html post which shows how it is ongoing in LAUSD, even to this day. 10,000 teachers charged and fired with no recourse to justice.
So continue to DAMB VAM, but know THIS — the profession is under attack on a much more serious level AND until those who can, actually do step up and point a finger at the travesty and tragedy that continues across the vulnerable grunts on the line in 15,880 districts…NOTHING WITLL CHANGE.

Neil fails to note that the automobile dramatically reduced pollution, eliminating the vast quantities of horse manure that were piling up in city streets at the turn of the 20th Century. At that time, an estimated 200,000 horses walked the streets of New York, producing 4,000,000 pounds of manure and 50,000 gallons of urine per day. It was not uncommon to see dead horses rotting in the street. In the summer time, dried manure turned to dust which choked the air. By 1908, an estimated 20,000 New Yorkers died each year from diseases spread by manure. Enter the internal combustion engine — and a literal breath of fresh air.
The Model T and its reviled offspring not only reduced pollution, spurred economic growth, and sped urban transportation, they also improved safety. The fatal accident rate for horse-drawn vehicles in the early 20th Century was about seven times that of automobiles in the modern era.
Even those of us who still love and keep horses cannot deny that the automobile revolutionized society, not only in America but around the world. It is no exaggeration to say that the invention of the automobile saved civilization, which was in danger of literally drowning in its own manure.
The Model T was a big part of that revolution. Contrary to Neil's aspersion, the Model T was not a "piece of junk" but a design admirably suited to its time. With its 20-hp engine and top speed of 40-45 mph, it did not need sophisticated instruments, and blackmithed body panels were quite practical in an age when blacksmiths vastly outnumbered auto mechanics.
The Model T was not the first automobile, and in many ways it was not the best, but it represented a turning point. As many historians have noted, the Model T was the first automobile cheap enough that the workers who built it could afford to buy one.
In that respect, the XCOR Lynx may represent the Ford Model T of space and the start of the Henry Ford era of spaceflight. XCOR has a company policy that every employee will fly on the vehicle. We haven't heard whether Virgin Galactic has a similar policy for SpaceShip Two, but it wouldn't surprise us.
Consider how remarkable this policy is. 34,000 NASA employees worked on Project Apollo (along with 375,000 contractors). Fewer than 30 flew on Apollo. Even during the early, optimistic days of the Shuttle era, no one ever suggested that every NASA employee should be given a ride on the Space Shuttle. It would have been economically ridiculous to propose such a thing.
Elon Musk is making enormous strides in helping to restore American access to the International Space Station, and Robert Bigelow's inflatable modules may revolutionize space-station design. These are impressive accomplishments but, while Musk could afford a seat on the Dragon capsule and Bigelow might visit his own space station, most of their employees will remain grounded.
The Lynx and SpaceShip Two will be the first spacecraft that the men and women who build it can afford to fly on, whether through their own savings or as a company perk. They will truly be the Model T's of space. A century from now, one of Dan Neil's intellectual successors may sneer at how suborbital vehicles conferred to Americans the notion of spaceflight as something akin to natural law, a right endowed by our Creator. The consequences, by then, will be "piling up," from the air over our cities (cleaner, perhaps, due to safe, cheap solar energy from space) to the boots of our soldiers, whose rocket transports can place them anywhere in the world within 90 minutes.
Dan Neil is probably an elitist prick. He doesn't want to get rid of the car, only 99% of them.
Inside Dan Neil's head: You commoners have no right to own your own car. Public transportation for you. In fact, it's too good for you teabaggers, but we of the enlightened class will grace you with a city bus and Amtrac. The automobile is only for upper crust, namely *me*.
Interesting thought; I didn't know that about XCOR, though I knew Jeff was losing weight to better fit into his own vehicle for his ride. What a great example they'll set!!
Does anyone still read Time? And you're surprised by the Luddites in there? Really?
I almost want to call you a pesimist.
2065 and they'll be bemoning the complaint you outlined, and perhaps before. It will be faster this time – no WWI to interfear and kill off so many capable young men.

Санта-Марія-ін-Віа-Лата () — титулярна церква на віа-дель-Корсо (раніше Віа-Лата) в Римі.

Історія
Побудована на місці античних римських будівель, а також будівель VIII, IX, X століть (в крипті збереглися фрески цього періоду). За переказами, в одній з цих будівель (або на місці теперішньої церкви Сан Паоло алла Регола) два роки провів під вартою апостол Павло, який писав тут послання.

Відреставрована в бароковому стилі Козімо Фанзаго у 1639. Фасад виконаний за проектом П'єтро да Кортона у 1658–1662. При папі Олександрі VII у 1662 над церквою встановлений великий верхній поверх, щоб запобігти оточенню будинками. Дзвіниця роботи Мартіно Лонгі ст. (1580). На підлозі видно залишки мозаїки роботи сім'ї Косматі.

У цій церкві знаходяться поховання Жозефа і Люсьєна Бонапартів та представників цієї родини, похованих у XVIII столітті.

Титулярна дияконія
Церква Санта Марія ін Віа Лата є однією з титулярних дияконій Рима (26 лютого 2002 року піднесена до рангу титулярної церкви pro hac vice). Кардиналом-пресвітером з титулом цієї церкви є австралійський кардинал Едвард Кассіді (з 28 червня 1991 до 26 лютого 2002 року він був кардиналом-дияконом цієї дияконії).
