Sri Lanka's chairman of selectors Ashatha De Mel has conceded that Sanath Jayasuriya deserved a recall for the Asia Cup. The veteran opener was not picked in the initial group identified by the selectors but was added at the expense of Upul Tharanga after the intervention of Sri Lanka's sports minister Gamini Lokuge earlier this month. De Mel said the decision to include Jayasuriya, who will be

It has been awhile since I wrote one of these essays, but sometimes, situations in life inspire me to contemplate certain things. And somehow, these two qualities have stuck out for me that, on the surface, may seem incompatible. However, one can see a connection when looking deeper.Merit and loyalty are both principles, both that say much about a human being's character. But, they represent two distinct sides of the self.Merit is often described as the state of deserving, whether good or bad. It is almost best determined by what one feels they've earned from the work they've done. It is also a very subjective state, as it is often debatable what someone truly merits or whether they've actually done the work to earn what they think they deserve.Then, there's loyalty, which is often the sta
It should come as no surprise to anyone that Texas school districts are abandoning the GOP-pushed program of “merit-based pay” for teachers like rats abandoning a sinking ship:
More than 100 school districts have changed their minds and dropped out of Texas’ new merit pay plan for teachers – leaving just a third of the districts in the state to help launch the $148 million program next year.
While the Dallas Morning news says that “financial concerns” are the reason many ISDs are dropping out, I think we all know the real reason: Texas school districts realize that merit-based pay is a bad idea for educators.
The second reason, financially-based, is that most schools are smart enough to realize that any Republican-backed scheme like this will soon become
I know that everyone says this, but I feel that I have been so busy for the past few weeks, that I haven't had time for anything extra. I keep meaning to blog, composing blogs in my head, but never committing them to cyberspace.I have learned a lot of new skills. I have had to typeset and publish the journal for my afternoon kollel (The Hashkafa Circle). It is available through Lulu (in case you were wondering).I have created (or am in the process of creating) a website for the aforementioned kollel, which will primarily host video shiurim from Rabbi Meir Triebitz. You can see what I've done so far (but there is a lot more coming, both in terms of design and content-wise) at www.hashkafacircle.com. And it is amazing how much time I have spend doing the little that you see there now (includ

It should come as no surprise to anyone that seasoned education officials across the state have rejected out of hand one of the worst education policy debacles forced upon the people of Texas by the Republican-dominated legislature in the last three sessions–merit-based teacher pay:
More than half of Texas’ school districts have rejected an offer to participate in the state’s new merit pay plan for teachers, leaving more money on the table for the 442 districts – including Dallas – that want a piece of the $148 million program.
Gee, I wonder why. Of course, TEA has a scapegoat at the ready:
“Some districts may have opted not to apply because they have another merit pay plan already in place, or they may have decided they are unable to put up the local matching funds required to participate,” said Debbie Ratcliffe, a spokeswoman for the Texas Education Agency.
Essentially, TEA’s strategy is, “blame the legislature; they wrote the law.
Here is a rumor sent to me about Citigroup (C) that has some merit
Robert Rubin remains chairman
John Thain brought in from the NYSE (NYX) to run the commercial bank
Vikrim Pandit would run the investment bank after it is spun off
Brokerage are would be sold to JP Morgan (JPM)
This scenario, has real merit as Citi gets to keep Pandit, who is now likely to leave if the CEO jobs goes to anyone under 60 and investors get the breakup many have been clamoring for.

More than 4,000 Hillsborough educators can expect bonuses of more than $2,100 in their paychecks Friday.
The performance pay awards were granted through the state Merit Award Program, or MAP. Recipients were determined by a variety of factors, including student performance on standardized tests and their evaluations. In all, Hillsborough educators split $10.6 million in bonuses.
Teachers did not have to apply for the state program, which is in its first year and has proven controversial elsewhere. The teachers union in Pinellas County rejected the rewards outright.
In Hillsborough, the money was divided equally among around 4,640 educators, schools spokesman Stephen Hegarty said. For more on how the awards were determined, see the district's Q&A: Download map_information_81607.pdf
The recipients include more than 2,700 teachers, about 1,300 guidance counselors and support personnel and nearly 600 school administrators. Educators can review their status under the program throu
Check out my bloglet at Cookie magazine today for some fun Mom accessories...in the form of Merit Badges for moms. Cute. But she is missing some badges there. Like she doesn't give any to bottle-feeding moms. And to me that means the chick just forfeited her "Don't Judge Other Moms" badge.Also, I have just joined the BlogHer network, meaning I get really schmantzy ads popping up on my site. Be a dear and click on them. This way they will think I'm worthy of remaining in their circle. Yikes, telling people to click is probably illegal and I'm probably going to get tossed out of the network now. So I take it back. Pretend you never read this. Pretend I deleted it.Last, I am ashamed to say that I voted myself Best Parenting Blog on some wanky website just so I could get that nifty new button some of you may have noticed on my blog. I wouldn't have 'fessed up, except that it's rather blatantly obvious—when you go to the site—that the one nomination for this here blog comes from,
A second lawsuit was filed this week against Apple (AAPL) and AT&T (T) charging fraud for neglecting to inform early buyers of the iPhone of the costs involved in maintaining a working battery for the life of the phone.
The suit, filed in a Northern District of California court on Monday by Sydney Leung on behalf of a class that could include hundreds of thousands of customers, is almost a carbon copy of the class action filed in July by Jose Trujilo et al., and the reaction of both Apple partisans and nominally independent news sites has been, if anything, even harsher this time around. Gizmodo, for example, which broke the Trujilo story, describes the plaintiff as "another clueless moron" and calls his complaint the "Stoopeedest Lawsuit Ever."
The legal papers filed do commit the same blunder of claiming as "fact" that the battery "must be replaced" after 300 charges -- a misreading of Apple's iPhone battery information page, which says that the battery "is designed to ret
When fall classes start at the University of Central Florida later this month, the booming state college will mark a few milestones, both academic and athletic.
Administrators expect to welcome a record 43 National Merit Scholars among the estimated 47,000 students who will begin classes Aug. 20. That would place UCF among the top 50 universities in the country for merit scholars. Last year, 27 merit scholars attended UCF.
And come September, all UCF students will have the chance to watch the Golden Knights football players in a 45,000-seat stadium just built at the back end of campus, where a new 10,000-seat basketball arena and concert venue also is ready for the masses.
Surrounding it all is a Main Street USA-type development featuring 2,000 dorm beds, restaurants, an ice cream parlor, a Barnes & Noble and even a soon-to-open English pub.
It seems clear that many Florida teachers dislike the idea of performance pay – just look at the outcry over STAR and MAP – but the public might have a different view. A recent national survey found 45 percent of the public thinks a teacher's salary should depend in part on students' academic progress, while 31 percent didn't think so and 24 percent didn't have an opinion. (The survey didn't say how academic progress would be measured, which of course is part of the rub. Throw the word "FCAT" into the question, and support would probably tumble into the negatives.)
The survey, co-directed by researchers at Harvard, Brown University and the University of Chicago, also found teachers and the general public aren't marching in lockstep when it comes to No Child Left Behind. Some 42 percent of current and former public school employees surveyed support the renewal of No Child with little or no changes, while 57 percent of the public does. Public support is even higher, at 71 perc
As Florida's school finance folks talk about delaying the implementation of the new Merit Award Program, it's perhaps instructive to note that they're not exactly on the winning end of this debate. NY Mayor Michael Bloomberg, a possible presidential candidate, is touting performance pay on a national level. So, too, for that matter, are political leaders from all sides, Education Week reports.
Yet the issue is not without its downside, or the implementation without flaws, as the Orlando Sentinel has revealed over the past few days. There have been problems with the year-end tests geared to evaluate teachers, and with the calculations over how much the teachers should get.
Meanwhile, some districts, including Pasco and Pinellas, have refused to participate at all.
Still, at least one powerful Florida lawmaker has indicated an unwillingness to even postpone the state's new $150-million program, saying such a move would reward mediocrity while punishing excellence. The movement's

The Florida legislature last week swapped its controversial merit-pay plan for teachers for one that would give school districts more say in how many teachers are rewarded and why.The Merit Award Program would replace the Special Teachers Are Rewarded, or STAR, plan that has been forcefully opposed by teachers’ unions across the state and invited a court challenge from the Florida Education Association, a merged affiliate of the American Federation of Teachers and the National Education Association.By this month, 19 of the state’s 67 districts had not adopted STAR, although that meant they would lose their share of $147.5 million in additional state money for the 2006-07 school year. Union locals in 46 of the 67 districts rejected the reward system, but some districts decided to forge ahead with it anyway.Union leaders said last week that the Merit Award Program, also known as MAP, is an improvement over past merit-pay versions. Unlike STAR, the program would be subject to collecti
"lovinmomhood" asked the following question in the Q&A board at Phatmass: Wasn't the KJV Bible written based on interpretation of the Standard Bible? I thought it was and yet so many say it is the one and only true Bible? ( according to some who are trying to show me my way to God and they are so NOT Catholic)I'm unfamilar with the "Standard Bible." The 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica says that the KJV, or "Authorized Version" as it was formally so called, was "a revision The of the Bishops' Bible, begun in 1604, and published Authorized in 1611" (here). The Encarta Encyclopedia says it is "a new revision of the English Bible" (here). The Christian Cyclopedia says that "The version is essentially a revision of the Bishops' Bible of 1572" (here). The International Standard Bible Encyclopedia tells us that "On the title-page as issued in 1611 the version is described as 'newly translated out of the original tongues' and as 'appointed to be read in churches,' two statements not easy
