Missouri's National Board Certified Teachers in 2011-12 Announced ...

The National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS) recently released scores to the 2011-12?National Board Certification candidates.

STATE-WIDE in MISSOURI:? 62 TEACHERS ACHIEVED CERTIFICATION
There were 91 first-year candidates in Missouri for 2011-12.? Of this number, 78% (71 teachers) submitted complete portfolios. Of the first-year candidates who completed the process in Missouri, 42 (59%) achieved certification. This is above the national average for first-year candidates. There were an additional 20 teachers who were either 2nd or 3rd year candidates (called advanced candidates) who also achieved, bringing the total number of newly certified teachers to 62.

ST. LOUIS REGION:? 42 TEACHERS ACHIEVED CERTIFICATION
Of the 62 new NBCTs in Missouri, 42 (68%) were from the St. Louis region. Of these 42 new NBCTs, 30 were first-year candidates (71%) and 12 (29%) were advanced candidates. The new NBCTs in the St. Louis region come from the following ten districts:

  • Rockwood? 14
  • Francis Howell? 6
  • Lindbergh? 6
  • Parkway? 5
  • Kirkwood? 4
  • Maplewood-Richmond Heights? 3
  • Hancock Place? 1
  • Hazelwood? 1
  • Special School District? 1
  • Wentzville? 1

According to NBPTS, standards are based on core propositions that form the foundation for what all accomplished teachers should know and be able to do and provide a reference that helps educators link teaching standards to teaching practice.

Five Core Propositions

  • Teachers are committed to students & their learning.
  • Teachers know the subjects they teach and how to teach those subjects to students.
  • Teachers are responsible for managing & monitoring student learning.
  • Teachers think systematically about their practice and learn from experience.
  • Teachers are members of learning communities.

Congratulations to all the new National Board Certified Teachers and the students that they serve. Learn more at www.csd.org.

David Wood Will Play Scrooge for the 37th Time in TIP's Madcap ...

Ira David Wood III (center) will reprise his role as the misanthropic old Ebenezer Scrooge in TIP's madcap musical version of "A Christmas Carol," which has become an annual Christmas tradition for Triangle children of all ages

Ira David Wood III (center) will reprise his role as the misanthropic old Ebenezer Scrooge in TIP?s madcap musical version of ?A Christmas Carol,? which has become an annual Christmas tradition for Triangle children of all ages

Theatre In The Park?s gala 38th-annual production of TIP executive and artistic director Ira David Wood III?s zany musical-comedy version of A Christmas Carol, which will run Dec. 6-9, 11, and 12 in Raleigh Memorial Auditorium and Dec. 15 and 16 in the Durham Performing Arts Center, will include timely topical references and the same old theatrical hocus-pocus and hilariously hokey vaudeville touches ? not to mention a virtuoso performance by Wood as Ebenezer Scrooge.

That malicious old miser was immortalized by English novelist Charles Dickens (1812-70), in his perennially popular 1843 Christmas story, which chronicles Scrooge?s surprising redemption, after four ghostly visitations, one Christmas Eve long ago.

?It?s hard to believe that this is the 30th year of A Christmas Carol in Raleigh,? admitted TIP executive and artistic director David Wood in a December 2004 interview with Triangle Theater Review. ?It?s extremely gratifying to think that people still return to see our own adaptation year after year. It is, first of all, a great tribute to Mr. Charles Dickens and his incredible book. (I believe folks are surprised at how many lines in the show actually come directly from the book.)

?Secondly,? Wood said, ?our musical version is a theatrical production that is truly ?homegrown.? All of it began right here [in Raleigh]! For 30 years, it has been the talent, dedication, and generosity of spirit provided by the volunteer cast that has truly worked the show?s special magic.?

He added, ?I?m quite proud of what the production has managed to accomplish in three decades. We?ve toured to France and England and have continued to attract huge crowds locally.?

That?s not bad for a holiday show by a local community theater (formerly Raleigh Children?s Theatre) that in 1974 specialized in outdoor productions of Shakespeare (Hamlet and Richard III) before occupying the old N.C. National Guard Armory in Pullen Park, which the Raleigh City Council rechristened the Ira David Wood III Pullen Park Theatre on Oct. 5, 2004.

The Enfield, NC native, who was educated at the North Carolina School of the Arts in Winston-Salem, told Triangle Theater Review in 2004, ?For 20 years, we have toured to Columbia, S.C. to help raise funds for the Babcock Center and their remarkable work for the mentally handicapped. The production has been something of a springboard in helping to launch more than a few successful show business careers. We?re also now listed as one of the ?Top Twenty Events in the Southeast? by the Southeast Tourism Society.

?The N&O has cited us as being ?one of the most successful shows in North Carolina theater history.? Most notably, the production has been seen by members of the Dickens family, and they?ve given it their enthusiastic endorsement. That has meant a great deal to all of us,? said Wood.

At Christmastime 1974, David Wood was only 27 ? tall, thin, matinee-idol handsome, and best known for his charismatic Hamlet ? when he first donned a fright wig, a big beak of a false nose, and even bigger top hat, and slumped his shoulders and bowed his skinny legs to adopt a mincing gait to play that misanthropic old skinflint Ebenezer Scrooge. Wood expertly mixed musical theater with vintage vaudeville routines to create what one local critic once, long ago, called the biggest one-man show in Triangle theater history. Yet, over the last three decades, Wood has fleshed out the show?s supporting roles ? to create more substantial comic foils for Scrooge to fulminate against ? and he has built up the other performers? musical numbers.

A Christmas Carol alumni include Michael C. Hall, Lauren Kennedy, Terrence Mann, Frankie Muniz, Patrick Stogner, Evan Rachel Wood, Ira David Wood IV, and Eric Woodall.

?We use huge doses of humor in an attempt to make the show more accessible to young and old alike,? claimed David Wood. ?I?ve learned that you can ?act? a serious play, but with comedy ? well, it?s either funny or it isn?t. You simply can?t fake that. Humor is also a wonderful common denominator that enables our adaptation to amplify the intent of the original work. In this musical comedy approach, when those quiet and special moments are appropriately dealt with, they stand out and take on even deeper resonance. We have remained true to the story?s basic message while tweaking it a bit in the process. Whatever the combination, it?s worked ? and happily so!?

For going on three generations now, A Christmas Carol has been a holiday tradition in two state capitals: Raleigh and Columbia, SC. (Indeed, many Triangle theatergoers still do not feel that the Christmas season is complete without a trip to Raleigh Memorial Auditorium to see what timely topical references David Wood has added to the latest edition of the show.) A Christmas Carol also became an enormous cash cow, whose annual proceeds funded less-bankable shows that Theatre In The Park might not otherwise have been able to produce.

In 2012, David Wood will direct and star in the show for the 37th time. Open-heart surgery forced him to miss the 2010 production, but his son Ira Wood donned Scrooge?s makeup and 19th century outfits and filled in admirably, as he and sister Evan Rachel Wood co-directed that the 36th installment of A Christmas Carol.

David Wood said, ?The [scenic designer Mark Pirolo's] sets and backdrops ? are absolutely miraculous! They have added a professional sheen to the entire show that will make its impact even more indelible. [His] contributions have made a tremendous impact on the quality of the overall presentation of the work.?

?Performing the role of Scrooge has become a lot like playing in a Super Bowl game!? confessed David Wood. ?It takes an enormous amount of preparation and practice prior to the big day. Once you?re on the field, you give it everything you possibly can muster. I must admit that the rest during ?half time? is now greatly anticipated and appreciated. After all, I?m still doing a role that was initially created by and for a man in his twenties. With each passing year, it?s gratifying to know that I can still hit the mark.?

Wood added, ?It is such a pleasure to work with so many people who have chosen to come back to the show. Some of the children who were in the show years ago are performing this year as adults ? with ?Tiny Tims? of their own. It?s a sincerely joyous feeling to know they want to renew their ties to the production while expanding our ?ACC Family? at the same time. We?re 30 years older and still as young at heart as ever!

?Initially,? Wood said, ?nobody told us that what we were doing was impossible ? so we just forged ahead and made it happen. When you consider the fact that this is ?amateur? production presented by a community theater relying upon the dedication and talent of its volunteer base, the accomplishments we?ve made in three decades are simply remarkable. On the other hand, it merely underscores the old adage: ?When love and talent combine together, you can expect a miracle!??

In 2004, Wood said, ?The laughter and tears you see onstage are quite real. After all, the holidays have a great deal to do with renewed feelings and emotions. This fact brings both audience and cast together in a veritable love feast. We know we can?t expect the audience to experience their own transformation unless and until those of us in the cast experience it first. We access our own feelings, build upon that foundation and send it out over the footlights. It?s a challenge to do any show that way, but our remarkable casts have never disappointed.

?Finally,? Wood said, ?you can?t do it unless the audience is there to see it, share in the experience, and back you up. I will be forever grateful to the thousands of people who continue to support us each year. When your muscles ache and your throat is raw and you don?t know where the energy is going to come from to do one more show ? the curtain goes up, you walk onstage ? and feel that wave of pure love roll over your entire being ? and the magic is suddenly there! E.G. Masters called it ?a little bit of the ether reserved for God himself.? There?s just no other way to describe it.

?When I die,? said David Wood, ?my obit will probably simply say ?He was Scrooge in A Christmas Carol.? Considering all that declaration now infers, I?ll be quite content with the summarization.?

Theatre In The Park presents A CHRISTMAS CAROL, starring Ira David Wood III as Scrooge, at 7 p.m. Dec. 6 and 7, 2 and 7 p.m. Dec. 8, 2 p.m. Dec. 9, and 7 p.m. Dec. 11 and 12 in Raleigh Memorial Auditorium in the Progress Energy Center for the Performing Arts, 2 E.

2012 In Gaming | Gamers With Jobs

Soon, outlets big and small ? our site likely included ? will share with you some thoughts on what the games of the year were. It?s not exactly a methodical thing, or consistent, or even particularly meaningful, but it can be fun to revisit and relive some of the best moments in games over the year, and 2012 will have its fair share. Game of the Year will be handed out. Spike TV will put on an abysmal television broadcast. Awards will grace shelves, and all will be as it ever is.

But 2012 also brought a lot of movement and change within the industry itself, sometimes defining moments and sometimes sweeping trends that carried throughout the year. What is in some ways more interesting to me is what 2012 has brought to consumers, developers and publishers as the business of gaming inches ever forward, evolving year after year.

Here then, are a few of my thoughts on the defining issues and moments of 2012 in video gaming.

Kickstarter and Crowdfunding: 2012 was, if nothing else, the year of crowdfunding. If began in February when Double Fine Studios did something that at the time seemed both bizarre and brilliant, which, to be honest, should not be all that surprising considering Tim Schafer?s penchant for being both brilliant and bizarre. It kicked off an effort to fund its next project, an adventure game no less, through Kickstarter. And it was as if the entire industry asked, ?Wait! You can do that??

Nearly $3.4 million dollars later, it would appear that yes, you can do that.

What was particularly interesting, though, was that it did not turn out to be an isolated event. Others immediately tried to replicate Double Fine?s success, and did. Of the ten current most funded projects on Kickstarter, seven of them are videogame related, and all of them happened this year. Ouya, Project Eternity, Wasteland, Star Citizen, along with Double Fine Adventure and numerous other projects saw a massive outpouring of support from the game community. Though very few of these funded games have actually been released, and there is no guarantee that anyone?s money spent to "kickstart" these projects will be a good investment, crowdfunding is still going strong, though perhaps not with the fervor of spring and summer.

Layoffs, Departures and Bankruptcy. Oh my!: For as good as things seemed to go for developers and game makers willing to explore non-traditional funding options, it turned out to be an ugly year for a lot of developers working within the more typical publisher model. It?s hard to believe it was only a couple of years ago that people used the term ?recession proof? to describe the videogame industry.

Curt Schilling?s 38 Studios likely began the year on a high note, preparing to launch a big new game and already hard at work on the MMO to follow. Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning hit store shelves in early February, and from that moment on a long, slow, painful and highly visible collapse began for the high-profile developer.

Whatever else you may be able to say, the one thing you really can?t say is that KoA:R was a bad game. It may not have been the best action-RPG ever conceived by man, but it had a lot going for it. However, whether a victim of the onerous publisher/developer model, a poster child for mismanagement, or doomed by a bad funding deal with the state of Rhode Island, the money went away far too quickly for 38 Studios, and in the end the company did what several others did in 2012. It fell into bankruptcy and died.

38 Studios was far from the only high profile gaming company in trouble. The once untouchable Zynga has suddenly become toxic. THQ seems perched on the knife?s edge of utter collapse, and is bleeding with layoffs and closures. Activision, Sony, Warner Brothers and Microsoft all announced major layoffs and closures of various sizes, to say nothing of countless development houses like Starbreeze and Funcom. Even Popcap wasn?t spared the sad news of lost jobs. Thousands of jobs ended for people at all levels of the gaming industry this year.

Still other jobs ended voluntarily(?) with multiple high-profile departures, not the least of which being the Doctors' Ray leaving BioWare. More recently Epic has been bleeding talent, with Cliff Blezinski most notably leaving the Gears of War developer, and now Mike Capps following suit. Of course departures are nothing new, but what's most troubling is the implication from many of these biggest names in gaming not just that they may be leaving their companies. They may be leaving the industry altogether.

WiiU Launches (also Vita): If the enthusiasm around the launch this year of the Wii U and the Vita is any indication, it?s not hard to see why there?s been such hesitation around kicking the next generation into high gear. I suppose it?s a bit subjective, and likely my opinion is informed by my utter apathy for both of these launches, but from the outside looking in, the tone and tenor has seemed decidedly muted. Consumers seemed far more interested in the latest iPad or newest phone than they did what might replace the aging Wii, which once had seemed to be on the verge of dominating all of gamingdom.

I feel like there?s something poignant and telling about a year in which Nintendo Power magazine finally closes its print doors within only a month of the launch of a new system. And who knows what 2013 may bring as Microsoft and Sony certainly consider their options for putting out new hardware, but right now the idea that a new generation should come seems more prescribed and perfunctory than driven by deep wells of consumer desire.

One can almost smell the coming headlines of the death of the consoles as they once wrote about the death of PC. They will, again, be wrong of course, but it?s becoming increasingly hard to deny that the industry is cyclical, and I still remember the gaming crash of the 1980s.

Curse of the 3: If your game had a 3 in the title this year, then you probably had some dark days. Or weeks. Or months.

Mass Effect 3 was BioWare?s highly anticipated climatic swan song for one of the most prized series in gaming. But, like a nervous gymnast who cracks under the pressure of competition, they botched the dismount and, some would argue, landed flat on their face. The outcry and even outrage from gamers around the ending of Mass Effect 3 was almost unbelievable, and whatever BioWare may say about their satisfaction with the narrative, it is telling that they could not move fast enough to create DLC to ?clarify? the story.

Diablo 3 would fare no better in the eyes of fans. Mired in controversy around Real Money Auction House transactions, the lack of offline modes of play, and a brief, ill-fated idea by Blizzard to limit people who purchased the game digitally to a glorified demo for the first 3 days, it seemed Blizzard could do no right with one of the most important franchises in gaming history. But, in the long run, Diablo 3 remains successful and is one of the top-selling games of the year with an expansion already in the works. Many of the most vocal raising concern around the actions of Blizzard are those who spent tens or hundreds of hours combing through the dark in search of the elusive epic loot. It?s tough to say how much money the RMAH has generated for Blizzard, but even a cursory glance shows no shortage of players eager to exchange hard-earned greenbacks for the one piece of equipment that will finally make their character all powerful.

Still, there is no denying that Blizzard continues to lose goodwill with its fanbase, and has been on a steady downward trajectory that seems all the more marked since its union with Activision.

Max Payne 3 did not suffer the same kind of poor PR hits and gamer outrage as Diablo 3 and Mass Effect 3. In fact, what it suffered was almost no gamer interest at all, or at least not in the volume that Rockstar and Take Two were expecting. The one thing you can?t say about the other two games is that they sold poorly, but In its earnings report following Max Payne 3?s release, Take Two specifically called out the game as an under-performer and a key reason the company fell short. The publisher couldn?t talk quickly enough about how great a year 2013 was going to be with games like BioShock Infinite, and investors shouldn?t pay any attention at all to the fact that, despite being a good, generally well reviewed game, Max Payne 3 just couldn?t seem to get anyone to care about it.

Even Assassin?s Creed 3 was not impervious to the struggles of games-with-a-3-in-the-name. Though AC3 seemed poised to break the trend, it?s launch was surprisingly buggy, and the fan response was inconsistent. Some loved it, others not so much, and universally everyone seemed to agree that it started painfully slow. Though it probably fared the best out of the bunch, AC3 still managed to find several ways to disappoint.

E-Sports: Depending on how the industry chooses to look at it, E-sports are either a growing cultural shift that is on the precipice of being mainstream entertainment, or a niche market with sketchy ROI and an underwhelming revenue model. For viewers, though, events like Dreamhack, MLG or The International DOTA 2 tournament have become must-see Intenet TV, as people who don't even play many of the games featured watched in the millions. It?s hard not to imagine E-sports as a force to be reckoned with, watching final matches that have packed arenas of cheering, screaming, tech-savvy fans. This year continued to see the movement?s growth as League of Legends and DOTA 2 continued to build upon the enthusiasm that Starcraft 2 helped lead in 2011.

While the technology and infrastructure to deliver content to potential fans has steadily improved, the costs match pace, and there are some rumblings of concerns about when these tournaments will really begin to generate sustainable revenue beyond investors. E-sports is truly a world of the 1-percenters, with a small fraction of gamers and game teams soaking up the vast majority of the big prizes, and many of the remaining professional gamers and their sponsors struggling to stay afloat. While the year has certainly seen a lot of growth, it has also seen a few major team collapses, and a lot of the strongest Korean players increasingly less willing to play in the ?foreign? tournaments. The effort is gaining a sizable fanbase, this year more than ever before it seems, but it still has a lot of questions to solve.

I hope the community can break through before investors lose faith.

An Old Debate Quieted: I bring up this last issue not because it was a defining item of 2012, but precisely because it wasn?t. I don?t quite know when it happened, but the hot-button issue of games as a negative influence on kids/society/morality/violence/whatever has seemed to evaporate like so much morning fog under the noon-day sun.

2012 had several tragic and heartbreaking incidents that have traditionally launched pundits and talk-show junkies into bloated tirades on the horrible influence video games have on our society. And yet, it never materialized. At least not with any real, lasting oomph, as it has in previous years.

I don?t know if there are broad conclusions to draw from that, or whether 2013 will see the proselytizing vigorously renew. For now, it seems that video gaming as a menace to society is a topic that has fallen out of favor. And it gives me some hope, not only that people aren?t demonizing the medium, but perhaps some are even beginning to see that it can be a beneficial, an informing, an inspiring practice.

HBT: Bay signs one-year deal with Mariners

This is what?s known in the business as taking a flier.

According to Andy Martino of the New York Daily News, the Mariners have added Jason Bay on a one-year contract after he hit .165/.237/.299 in 194 at-bats last season and then accepted a buyout from the Mets. The Mariners will see if Bay can can recapture the form that helped him bat .267/.384/.537 with 36 homers and 119 RBI in his last year in the AL with the Red Sox in 2009. In the three years since, he?s batted .234/.318/.369 with a total of 26 homers in 986 at-bats.

Bay is a native of British Columbia and he already lives in Seattle in the offseason, so it?s the perfect situation for him.

Bay?s addition won?t stop the Mariners from continuing to pursue bats. They?ve been mentioned in connection with free agents Josh Hamilton, Michael Bourn, Nick Swisher and Adam LaRoche, as well as in the Justin Upton trade speculation. If the Mariners do pick up another hitter or two, it?d seem to close off any route Bay might have to a starting job. Realistically, he?s probably going to end up competing with Casper Wells for one spot on the bench as a DH against lefties and occasional backup outfielder, and he?ll need a big spring just to have a shot.

November ADP Jobs Report... - Business Insider

UPDATE:

Slight miss...

118K is just below expectations of 125K, and below last month's 158K.This is not a huge number for markets, and the deviation from expectations isn't that big, so it's unlikely to matter much.

The full report is here, and there's a bunch of fancy charts.

This chart shows the employment breakdown by industry.

The negative direction of manufacturing jobs is notable.

?

ORIGINAL POST: The ADP jobs report at 8:15 AM ET: The survey calls for 125K new jobs. Last month was 158K.

It is a preview of Friday's jobs report, though there are two reasons why it will differ. One is that it only affects private sector payrolls. The other is that it's unlikely to be affected Sandy because of how it tabulates payrolls.

We'll have the number here live.
