Stories. Becky Cooper collects hand-drawn maps of people’s Manhattan stories.

If you drew a map of Manhattan, what would your landmarks be?

For one man, a smattering of dots marked six wives and three lovers.

Notably, the third, fifth and sixth wives were plotted about a block apart.

A second cartographer noted at the tip-top end of Manhattan: “ruined a kickball game by kicking ball into Hudson.” Slightly farther south is the note: “FIRST CRUSH I was 27.”

These maps, and 73 others, are part of a collection

by Becky Cooper, titled “Mapping Manhattan: A

Memorable stories

“I definitely have maps whose circumstances I remember more than others.” Cooper

“Mapping Manhattan” PUBLISHED BY ABRAMS IMAGE

Love (and Sometimes Hate) Story in Maps by 75 New Yorkers,” out of an art project Cooper started in 2009.

She handmade hundreds of blank maps using a letterpress at school, and hid 300 of them around

the city, in the Waldorf and the backseats of taxis, hoping people would stumble across them. She printed her P.O. box number on the back, expecting people would fill them out and send them back to her.

But she said that none came back — until she had a conversation with a boutique owner downtown who caught her trying to stash a map in the store.

Cooper explained the project, and a week later received a map in the mail from that woman.

“The conversation had invested her enough in the project to return the map,” Cooper said.

After that, she and her

roommate walked Manhattan, from Marble Hill to Battery Park, with a shoebox of maps, and handed them out to strangers.

Her book chronicles that walk, recounting little stories about the people she encountered. The text of the book is, in fact, her own map of Manhattan.

She said the secondto-last map in the book, which portrays a four-decade-long relationship with a late wife, broke her heart when she received it.

“There isn’t an overwhelming amount of emotion that would allow you to distance yourself from it, but you can feel his loss.”

That sender had put his

own return address on the map, so she searched his name online and discovered the eulogy he wrote for her in a local paper.

“He said, ‘She was the most wonderful person I’ve ever known,’” Cooper recalled. “I just lost it.”

Cooper had the chance to meet that mapmaker at a reading recently.

He told her that making it had helped him to remember things about his wife as he was trying to cope with losing her.

“He thanked me for allowing him to capture that particular Manhattan,” Cooper said.

Bust yields $2M in meth, heroin Three men were indicted yesterday on drug trafficking charges after investigators in the New York State Police Special Investigations Unit traced a drug trail from a hand off in the Bronx to a stash house in Corona, Queens.

The bust, which happened on April 9, yielded 10 pounds of heroin and nine pounds of crystal meth.

The meth is valued at

about $960,000, and the heroin could be sold for $1 million on the street.

New York State Police Superintendent Joseph D’Amico said the drug trafficking ring “poured literally pounds of deadly, illicit drugs into the streets of Queens and beyond.”

A search of the Queens stash house uncovered a ledger pertaining to “ice” transactions, $2,000

hidden inside a vent, and supplies for making meth, including masks, grinders and a scale.

Investigators believe the meth originated from “megalabs” in Mexico.

According to the Department of Health, emergency room visits related to meth more than doubled between 2004 and 2011, jumping from 214 to 576.

Lopez scandal remains issue for NY speaker Scandal. Vito Lopez may no longer be Sheldon Silver’s colleague, but he may still be the New York house speaker’s problem.

Calls for an investigation into Silver have developed into calls for a coup, as women’s groups, government watchdog organizations and newspaper editorial boards rail against the speaker.

Silver is being criticized for arranging a con-

fidential settlement with staffers who filed sexual harassment complaints against Lopez.

Assemblyman Micah Kellner, running for City Council, told the New York Times the investigation into the confidentiality agreement needs to

include “who proposed it, who wrote it, and who required it.”

Lopez was cleared of criminal charges, but a 68-page report by the New York State Joint Commission on Public Ethics detailed shocking behavior.

A source told the Daily News that Governor Andrew Cuomo is leaving Lopez’s seat vacant until a primary can be held in September, in order to prevent Lopez from being able to exert control over his replacement in a special election.

City too ready to settle NYPD lawsuits: Kelly Just the facts. Ray Kelly said that the city is too willing to settle cases against police oďŹƒcers.

Following a Daily News report of a Brooklyn narcotics officer receiving a promotion after costing the city more than $1.5 million in settlements, NYPD Police Commissioner Ray Kelly blasted the city for opting for settlements too frequently. “The city is too willing to settle the case,� Kelly said to the Daily News. “We need a lot more trials and efforts to determine the true facts in many of these allegations.�

Some of the nearly 60 cases involving the narcotics officer involved racial profiling and slurs.

Ray Kelly says that more cases involving police should go to trial. / GETTY IMAGES

The City Council has been discussing legislation that would create more stringent anti-profiling laws, which opponents say could open up the NYPD to frivolous lawsuits.

In a public safety address to NYPD captains recently, Mayor Michael Bloomberg said these lawsuits would result in officers spending time in courtrooms when they could be out on the streets keeping the city safe.

What Stauer Clients Are Saying About Our Hybrid Watches

“Great watch... an impressive piece straight out of the box.”

No More Mr. Nice Watch Forget sleek and subtle, the Stauer Colossus Hybrid is one tough timepiece…now for less than $50!

N

ever underestimate your competition. Just ask Demetrius, the unfortunate Greek general who set out to conquer Rhodes in 305 BC. He assumed that a massive force of 40,000 men, a fleet of Aegean pirates and an arsenal of wall-smashing war machines would be enough to crush the tiny Greek island. He was wrong. The Rhodians were tougher than he thought. And so is this watch. If you’ve always believed that the biggest, baddest watches had to cost big, bad money, the $49 Stauer Colossus Hybrid Chronograph is here to change your mind.

7 new york Tuesday, May 21, 2013

A monument to toughness. The people of Rhodes were ready for Demetrius and repelled his attack. To celebrate, they built the Colossus of Rhodes, a 107-foot bronze and iron giant that towered over the harbor like a ten-story trophy. It warned future invaders that “Rhodes is tougher than you think.” You give the same message when you wear the Stauer Colossus.

More watch for less money. Big-name watchmakers raise their prices because they can get away with it. But Stauer wants to turn luxury on its head. We sent the Colossus Hybrid to an independent appraiser who works with auction houses, luxury estate sales and insurance companies. He valued the watch at $199.* We thanked him for his professional opinion and then ignored it. Because we still want you to wear it for ONLY $49.

Your satisfaction is guaranteed. Wear the Stauer Colossus Hybrid Chronograph for 30 days and if you are not 100% thrilled with your purchase, return it for a full refund of your purchase price. But once you get a taste of more watch for less money, it’s likely you’ll be back for more... and we’ll be waiting.

WATCH SPECS: -Easy-to-read analog/digital modes -Back-lighting & luminescent hands - Tachymeter, countdown timers & alarms - Folded stainless steel bracelet fits a 6 3/4"–9" wrist

The timepiece that works twice as hard. The Colossus Hybrid Chronograph will keep you on schedule, but it’s about much more than time. The imposing case features a rotating gunmetal bezel that frames the silver, black and yellow face. You’ll find a battalion of digital displays on the dial arranged behind a pair of luminescent hands and a bold yellow second hand. Powered by a precise quartz movement, the watch is doubly accurate in analog and digital mode.

Colossus Hybrid Digital/Analog Watch Appraised at $199* — $79 Now your price only $49 +S&P

The Colossus is packed with plenty of handy extras including a bright green EL back-light for enhanced nighttime visibility, a tachymeter along the outer dial and a full complement of alarms and split-second countdown timers. It secures with a folded steel bracelet that highlights a row of striking dark center links. It’s a rugged watch that’s more than ready for your daily grind.

The end. The Doors keyboardist Ray Manzarek dead at 74 Doors founding member Ray Manzarek is dead at the age of 74. The keyboard player, who contributed greatly to the band’s signature sound on songs like “Light My Fire� and “Riders on the Storm� lost a battle to bile duct cancer in a clinic in Germany yesterday.

Ever since Doors singer

Jim Morrison died in 1971 at the age of 27, Manzarek was crucial to preserving the band’s legacy.

Taking the heat. More calls for officials to take blame in IRS flap Pressure was building yesterday for the Obama administration to fire more people linked to the Internal Revenue Service’s extra scrutiny of conservative groups, possibly including another top IRS official.

More than a week after a mid-level IRS employee apologized publicly for IRS agents’ use of terms such as “Tea Party” and “patriots” to target groups’ applications for tax-exempt status, Congress was preparing for two days of hearings on the matter.

Lois Lerner, chief of the IRS tax-exempt unit,

is scheduled to testify tomorrow to a Republican-controlled investigative committee of the House of Representatives, along with other officials. Lerner’s apology for the IRS targeting on May 10 at a legal conference in Washington set off the furor.

President Barack Obama fired acting IRS Commissioner Steven Miller on Wednesday.

Some lawmakers, both Democrats and Republicans, are calling for Lerner to go next as the scandal continues to unfold, distracting Obama from his second-term legislative agenda. REUTERS

President of Myanmar visits the White House A press for peace.

Obama urges Myanmar to stop violence against its Muslims.

President Barack Obama urged the president of Myanmar yesterday to take steps to halt violence against Muslims in his country and move ahead with economic and political reforms.

Thein Sein became the first head of Myanmar to visit the White House in 47 years. He and Obama sat down for talks in the Oval Office.

Obama said the Myanmar leader had assured him that he intends to move forward on releasing more political prisoners and institutionalizing political reforms that have

already taken place. Sein vowed to resolve ethnic conflicts by incorporating all communities into the political process, Obama said.

“I also shared with President Sein our deep concern about communal

violence that has been directed at Muslim communities inside Myanmar. The displacement of people, the violence directed toward them, needs to stop,” Obama said.

Sein, speaking through a translator, said his coun-

try faces a “daunting task” in carrying out reforms but said for democracy to flourish in Myanmar, the reforms must be carried out in the years ahead.

Myanmar will need the “assistance and understanding” of the international community, including the United States, as it goes through the process, he said.

Rights groups and some U.S. lawmakers fear Obama has moved too quickly since forging a dramatic breakthrough in relations in 2011 after half a century of military rule in Myanmar, also known as Burma.

U.S. officials argue that reforms by Myanmar’s quasi-military government are transformative and deserve support from Obama, who confirmed the end of Myanmar’s pariah status with the West with a landmark visit last November.

The slides were obtained in 1924 when the father of the Indian independence movement was recovering from an appendectomy near Mumbai. He was thought to have donated the blood to the family he was staying with at the time. “To Gandhi devotees, it has the same status

as a sacred relic to a Christian,� said Richard Westwood-Brookes, a historical documents expert at Mullock’s auctioneers, which is selling the item. “It is an artifact [that] is revered by disciples of Gandhi, particularly in India, and therefore that is the sort of person who would go for it,� he said.

Stewartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s humor a hit in China Laughter in the dark. The Chinese look toward the satire-loving comedian for inspiration.

Web of accountability

Quoted

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Being a journalist, you have to ďŹ nd out the truth. If thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ... something that hurts the public interest, you have to stand out, no matter how sharp the thing is. You have to stand out and say thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not right.â&#x20AC;?

Mao Moyu, a Shanghai journalism student who got hooked on Stewart

Humor may not always translate well. But Jon Stewart is picking up millions of fans in China, where his gloves-off political satire is refreshing for many in a country where such criticism is a rarity â&#x20AC;&#x201D; especially when directed at their own leaders.

A recent segment on North Korea scored more than 4 million views on microblogging site Sina Weibo, and even stodgy state broadcaster CCTV has used Stewartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Daily Showâ&#x20AC;? in a report â&#x20AC;&#x201D; though it wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let a Chinese version of him near its cameras.

Recent popular sequences have included one in which Stewart lam-

was detained for 81 days in 2011, sparking an international outcry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing like political satire here,â&#x20AC;? said David Moses, who studies and writes about Chinese humor.

Though the exact timing of Stewartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entrance to China is unclear, many have been watching him for four or five years, mainly through the Internet and Sina Weibo.

Part of Stewartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s popularity is that he seems cool to young people in love with all things foreign, but a thirst for satire that is not afraid to show its face contributes too, Moses said. REUTERS

pooned the Chinese hackers who went into the New York Times computer system earlier this year, wondering if that was the best they could do.

But far from squelching Stewart, CCTV even used one of his sequences on Guantanamo Bay to criticize Obama in a regular broadcast â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a move widely derided by netizens.

In China, however, such criticism tends not to be welcomed by the government.

Dissident artist Ai Weiwei, who regularly criticizes the government for what he sees as its flouting of the rule of law and human rights,

Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Internet is brimming with disclosures of officials casually collecting bribes, homes and luxury accessories.

But while the government tolerates such anti-corruption vigilantism, it is also extremely leery of the threat the Internet can pose to Communist Party rule.

While acknowledging that Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s online world is helpful, authorities have also moved quickly to quash rumors that might fan protests that could escalate out of control, deleting microblog posts and even entire accounts. REUTERS

Metro dominates as the most-read free newspaper in the Big Apple No. 1. Metro is reaching an all-time record of readers in the New York area.

Metro has gained nearly 100,000 daily readers in the last year, as well as strengthened its grip as the most-read free daily newspaper in New York, according to new figures that were just released.

The market research company Scarborough said that Metro reached an all-time record of 733,311 people over the age of 18 in the New York area, a whopping 15 percent increase over the same period in 2012. Every week, Metro reaches more than 1.5 million adults in New York in print and online — that’s 124,000 more than its competitor amNewYork.

for making us the most popular free newspaper in New York,” Yggers Mortensen, Metro US publisher and CEO, said. “We continue to grow, innovate and find new ways to engage New Yorkers and deliver impact to advertisers both in print and online.”

Metro’s success can

be attributed to 400 new newspaper boxes throughout the city as well as a concentrated focus on a re-launched website, Metro.us, a redesign of the print edition and interactive features such as Blippar, a newly augmented reality app.

According to the Scar-

borough data, Metro has the highest proportion of readers who are 18-49 years old, a demographic regarded as highly desirable by advertisers. In addition, 76 percent of readers are employed — and 1 in 10 are planning to buy a house or condo this year.

Three years later, Demi Lovato still thinks about Joe Jonas

CULTURE

Twitter feed We check in with some of Hollywood’s biggest names to see what they’ve been up to — in their own words, in 140 characters or fewer.

Today, Justin Bieber is feeling a whole lot of love, Channing Tatum likes a good bit of wisdom, Lena Dunham is choosing her words carefully and John Cleese smells a conspiracy. @justinbieber: “I love music, my fans, my family, my friends … And I love The Lord.”

KStew splits yet again

The on-and-off relationship between Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart is currently off. “All this stuff came up,” a source close to Pattinson, 27, tells Us Weekly about the reason for Split #234.

The source told the magazine that Pattinson blew off a birthday party planned in his honor by Stewart. The two have been fighting “about the cheating, about how selfish she always is, about how moody she always is,” the source explains.

Moody? Kristen Stewart? You don’t say.

It’s been three years since her brief romance with Joe Jonas, but Demi Lovato is still talking about it. “We were in a relationship and we broke up, and at one point I was really mad at him,” Lovato tells ABC’s Nightline. “When you go through heartbreaks and things like that, you always have in mind

somebody. It’s like when you hear a song on the radio that reminds you of somebody, you’re going to be reminded.”

Ugh. Sometimes (and only sometimes) I feel for celebrities. Imagine having to constantly talk about an ex to major news outlets years after your fling. I cringe just thinking about it.

THE WORD

Dorothy Robinson takes on the world of gossip.

DOROTHY ROBINSON @dorothyatmetro dorothy.robinson@metro.us

Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber: The remix?

It looks like Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber are working on a song together.

“I know pictures are flying around,” Cyrus told E! at the Billboard Music Awards. “You guys will have to wait and see. I’m the biggest at top secrets.

I’ve had this single [“We Can’t Stop,” to be released June 3] ready for about a year, and I’ve had to keep my lips sealed and just not say anything. So you’ll see.”

3

@channingtatum: “Go where you are celebrated — not tolerated. If they can’t see the real value of you, it’s time for a new start. —Unknown”

@JohnCleese: “Why haven’t they told who was elected vice pope? Is it a cover up?”

NEXT

LEGEND?

Glamour and love on the red carpet Nicole Kidman and husband Keith Urban were all over the red carpet (and each other) at the premiere of “Inside Llewyn Davis” during the 66th annual Cannes Film Festival on Sunday. The lovebirds kissed, hugged and held hands for photographers. Basically, they were seriously cute. And annoying.

But generally more cute than anything else.

@lenadunham: “Under the right circumstances, I’d love to murder someone — something I’m glad I’ve never said in an interview.”

THE

Cyrus says this one is for her fans. “I feel like this song really is for them and how I feel — that I can’t stop and I’m going to be who I am, and they should be who they are and that they can’t stop, and [no one] can stop us.”

The singer has been spotted leaving Bieber’s recording studio in the past. So as long as they are working on a single together — and not a baby — I’m totally fine with it.

Tattoo artist Kat Von D says: ‘Go Big or Go Home’ Interview. The artist doesn’t compete with men: “I get cramps once a month, but that’s it.”

In her third book, “Go Big or Go Home,” acclaimed tattoo artist and reality star Kat Von D delves deep to tell stories from her own life and experiences she’s shared with clients.

Chock-full of photos of tattoos in various stages of completion and the people who wear them, the book sheds light on the personality, process and profession of one of the tattoo world’s brightest stars. We had a few questions for her about the arts of ink and writing.

What made this book more challenging to write than your other two?

I’ve always been an open book — no pun intended.

It’s just a little bit more profound on an emotional level. I want to be as open and honest as possible, even in all my flaws.

You’re known for your portrait work. How did you get into that?

I was doing a lot of them [on television] and got a reputation for portraits.

I love black and gray realism. So I could do a portrait of a paper clip, or a person, and I’d still get excited. It’s more about the textures and accuracy.

You’re in a boys’ club.

What’s it like being a female tattoo artist?

I go back and forth on that subject. Although I feel lucky to be a girl because it’s fun to be a girl, I get kind of annoyed by these uber-feminists who make gender such a big part of who they are. I don’t think gender should define you. I’ve always wanted my work to speak for itself. So, as for the challenges of being in a male-dominated field? I get cramps once a month, but that’s it.

On tattoos

Von D: Openly devoted to you “There’s this negative stigma surrounding people with tattoos,” says Von D. “But I’ve always thought it’s a form of being openly devoted to something, and that’s a very rare and great quality to have. You listen to people’s stories and really get to know somebody.

I like the idea of being connected to a piece because you know it’s valued to the client.”

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big deal. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a few diďŹ&#x20AC;erent hats Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m taking on: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m the frontman, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my songs, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my voice.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nervous excitement,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a giant challenge.â&#x20AC;?

Newsted formed six months ago when the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s namesake started writing songs with guitarist Jessie Farnsworth and drummer Jesus Mendez Jr., and they recorded a thrashy four-song EP as tight and terse as its title: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Metal.â&#x20AC;? In February, Staind guitarist Mike Mushok joined and, though we couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leader to reveal its title, a full-length is ready for release by fall.

Through summer, Newsted has 70 gigs worldwide, including gigs in England, at the 100 Club and the Download Festival, the same two places he played in 1987, launching his first fulllength with Metallica, â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;Ś And Justice For All.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I did retire from the big thing so I could do

what I want with my life. Jumping back into it is different from what I planned to do, but you have to create challenges when you have all the time in the world. This is the biggest that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve created for myself in a long time.â&#x20AC;?

This part of California’s Central Coast has been overshadowed by the state’s other wine regions — but not anymore.

The food

Dine here Artisan restaurant is a standout in Paso Robles. Executive chef and owner Chris Kobayashi is creating exciting dishes like wild boar tenderloin with caramelized fennel risotto and a green garlic pistou that tastes exactly like spring. Il Cortile takes inspiration from Italy and makes it

perfectly suited to the flavors of the Central Coast. Think lamb ravioli, paired with a local grenache from Austin Hope. And Thomas Hill Organics, the highly lauded wine bar and bistro, offers a menu bursting with whimsy and intelligence.

Enjoy it with one of the remarkable beers from Paso’s Firestone Walker Brewery.

Chateau Margene is a testament to the ever-climbing quality of wine from

the Central Coast: Their cabernets and bordeauxstyle blends are complex and age-worthy. Vina Robles is in the process of constructing an amphitheater that will host some of the region’s best acts.

City Doubles Down on Teacher Training Historic Changes Coming to Classrooms City Funds for Teacher Support Top $100 Million Pivotal Moment for Students New York’s public schools will get a boost of support from hundreds of coaches this fall. But instead of hitting the basketball courts, they’re headed to classrooms.

is intended to ensure that teachers and students will be ready to meet these new challenges.

“It’s a new era in our public schools,” the Chancellor said. “We’re expecting more from our students and their teachers.”

“We can’t expect to raise standards for students without doing the same for teachers,” Walcott said. “It’s especially urgent in wake of the Common Core, the most dramatic change to education in our lifetime.”

The Department of Education’s investment of more than $100 million

Schools Chancellor Dennis M. Walcott has set in motion a major push to improve the skills of the city’s teachers.

He announced he will double the city’s investment in teacher support to more than $100 million.

The coaches’ goal will be to train principals and others to observe teachers in action, pinpoint their strengths and weaknesses and help them improve.

The focus on teaching is a response to the Common Core standards, which have raised the bar for school kids, and a 2010 state law that overhauled an outdated teacher evaluation system.

Straight Talk from the Chancellor Schools Chancellor Dennis M. Walcott responds to parents’ questions How is my child going to benefit from this new teacher evaluation system?

Teachers will be encouraged to learn from their peers, collaborate, share ideas, and brainstorm to identify new ways to engage children.

We’re raising standards for our kids through the Common Core, and we need to raise the bar for teaching and institute accountability. Next year you’ll see more support in our schools to make sure our teachers are encouraging your child to learn at his or her full potential.

Why do I hear so much about accountability? What does it mean?

We want to improve the quality of teaching throughout the public school system. Teachers are one of the most important influences on a child’s life.

If your child’s teacher is struggling, we need to know so we can support him or her.

What’s wrong with the current system? Why change it?

The teacher evaluation system simply doesn’t work. We need a better way to measure performance so that principals can give specific support to their teachers and students.

When it comes to our students, we’re always evaluating how they’re performing, where they’re excelling and where they need help. It’s time we do the same for teachers.

Currently, they are rated either Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory. But we

all know there aren’t just good or bad teachers—some are excellent, some great, some average, and some in need of improvement. The new evaluation system allows principals to form a more concrete picture of how their teachers handle student behavior, encourage class discussion, and more.

We’re putting our money where our mouth is by doubling our investment in professional development Are teachers going to be ready for the new evaluation system?

What are you doing to prepare them?

Our schools help students tackle tough subjects, and we’re prepared to help your child’s teacher tackle the evaluation system.

We’re putting our money where our mouth is by doubling our investment in professional development to over $100 million.

We’re providing training for our teachers through a partnership with The Danielson Group, an organization that supports teacher development and evaluation in districts throughout the country.

We’ve also updated our citywide instructional expectations to give teachers specific guidance on what we want to see in a classroom and to help schools set clear goals for teachers. Over 250 schools piloted the new evaluation system so that we could better understand what works and what doesn’t.

A lot of other resources are being developed online, like webinars, videos, articles, and interactive tools for teachers to use, as well as a help desk for educators who have questions about the new evaluation system. We’re here to listen to any concerns they have.

I’m committed to making sure your child’s teacher is a great one. We’re all in this together.

The latest news from the NYC Department of Education

It Works!

That was the overwhelming opinion of teachers and principals who were part of the first wave of educators to receive intensified coaching.

Over 8,500 teachers took part in a study that was designed to prepare the city for the new teacher evaluation law, which spells out some of the most dramatic teaching reforms in New York history.

Soon, all 75,000 teachers in the city’s public school system will experience the new and more

personalized approach to instruction.

In the study, teachers received one-on-one feedback from principals and were coached to improve. Schools

This more detailed system was compared to the Satisfactory/ Unsatisfactory evaluation method.

Scoring showed that the coaching brought the skills of teachers and principals to new heights.

Janine Meyer, a seventh-grade teacher, was encouraged by the new coaching. “It’s about what’s best for the kids, and if I’m not asking them the right questions, if I’m not challenging

them enough, then I want to know,” she said.

One principal in Brooklyn,

Cynthia Fowlkes, praised the new approach. “Going into the classroom and giving that

meaningful, frequent feedback to teachers really drives highquality instruction,” she said.

What is the Teacher Evaluation Law? Across America, parents are demanding better schools and better instruction. President Obama created his Race to the Top program as a result.

In May 2010, New York State passed Education Law 3012-c as part of its participation in Race to the Top. It requires every school district in the state—including New York City—to develop a better way to evaluate teachers and principals.

The state regulations discard the old pass/fail system for assessing teachers and replace it with a more detailed system that uses clear criteria to rate teachers into four categories— Highly Effective, Effective, Developing, and Ineffective.

The city has spent the past two years preparing for the implementation of this law, which will debut this September.

This Year We’re Aiming Higher This year, state exams for students in grades 3-8 have been different and more challenging. And test scores will reflect that at first.

We’re raising standards. Under the new Common Core curriculum, students will be writing more. Thinking critically.

Defending their ideas. Working in teams to solve real-world problems.

We’re not satisfied with just teaching your children basic skills. We want them prepared for college and a career.

PARENTING

No diaper? No problem, with EC Toilet training. The new parenting trend is “elimination communication.”

What is it, and how can you implement it at home?

It seems impossible: A baby — many times not much older than newly born — goes to the bathroom directly into the toilet and not a diaper.

Devotees of “elimination communication” say that it can happen. Christine Gross-Loh has been preaching this alternative to toilet training for years; her book, “The Diaper Free Baby,” has been the instruction manual for EC devotees since it was published in 2007. Here she gives advice on being No. 1 in the “number two” business.

How is EC different from regular toilet training?

The most basic difference is that you start EC earlier, before a child has become so used to eliminating in diapers that potty training is a whole new transition he has to get used to (and may be resistant to).

Babies are born with this awareness of elimination, but as they become used to eliminating in a diaper all the time, they lose that awareness — and have to work on becoming aware again when they reach the age of conventional toilet training. EC-ed children are often out of diapers completely at or before the age when most children are just beginning to embark on potty training.

What advice do you have for working parents who live in cities who may want to try EC? EC can be done during the evening or on weekends.

Even if you are at home with your baby full-time, you may not be doing EC full-time. It’s easy to have some diaper-free time during the evening, or sit your baby on the potty before and after his bath.

Doing EC does not mean you have to ditch diapers completely.

Your doctor retired to where?

Another reason to call.

EC for every parent

Gross-Loh aims to make “The Diaper Free Baby” accessible to all types of parents and she writes for three categories: Full-Time, Part-Time and Occasional EC-ers.

She also includes a support group within the book that includes inspiring testimonials and tips throughout every chapter.

What are some drawbacks to EC? Benefits?

It’s hard to do anything when it’s not a cultural norm — you may get less support and less information. Information about EC — about typical stages, about the logistics — is really key. Luckily, the information and support is out there as more and more parents do EC. And there are so many great reasons to give it a try: There are communication benefits (you learn to read your baby just as you learn how to figure out when he is hungry or sleepy), environmental and economic benefits (you go through fewer diapers) and health benefits (less diaper rash). Finally, you are not relying on diapers so much that your child becomes re-

luctant to let go of them, a problem that some parents face when doing conventional toilet training.

Why do you think EC has taken off in recent years?

I think it’s because there are so many parents out there who know more about the world around us. They know that in cultures around the world, it’s not at all the norm for a baby older than 1 to be in a diaper (if he was ever in a diaper at all).

When you know that this isn’t a universal thing, it makes you feel more open to understanding why and how this is, and to realizing there are some viable lessons here for us.

When I had my first child 13 years ago, I had heard of EC but thought of it as a black-or-white endeavor — you either do it fully or you don’t. I simply couldn’t imagine how you could make it work in a culture where we have so many homes with carpets! But my experiences showed me that you can do it to any degree that works for you. Even if your baby sits on the potty just once a day, there are benefits.

Problems with newer pertussis vaccine Vaccinations.

The rate of whooping cough has been climbing in recent years. Could a new version of the vaccine be to blame?

A newer version of the whooping cough vaccine doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t protect kids as well as the original, which was phased out in the 1990s because of safety concerns, according to a new study.

cough in California, researchers found that youth who had been vaccinated with the newer, so-called acellular vaccine were six times more likely to catch whooping cough than those who had received a series of the older wholecell vaccine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is an ongoing saga,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. H. Cody Meissner, a pediatric infectious diseases specialist from Tufts University School of Medicine in Boston.

The rate of whooping cough, or pertussis, has been climbing in recent years, he said â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to the point where â&#x20AC;&#x153;weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re worried about losing control of pertussis in the United States.â&#x20AC;?

The pertussis vaccine is given in combination with vaccines for diphtheria and tetanus.

Originally the shot contained whole pertussis bacteria, which triggered reactions in some babies â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including prolonged crying, fever and a â&#x20AC;&#x153;shock-like state,â&#x20AC;? said Meissner, who wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t involved in the new

research.

So in the 1990s, the U.S. switched over to an acellular version of the vaccine, which has reduced the rate of side effects. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But the price weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve paid to get more safety is that we have less effectiveness,â&#x20AC;? Meissner told Reuters Health. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t protect as well against pertussis.â&#x20AC;?

Any new shot for whooping cough that could address both safety and effectiveness concerns is still years away, Meissner said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So now weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re confronted with this difficult problem,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very hard to recommend a vaccine that is known to be associated

with more side effects than another vaccine thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s safer, even though the first vaccine gives better protection. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a dilemma.â&#x20AC;?

The findings do not mean parents shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get their children fully vaccinated against pertussis, the researchers agreed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the short run, we have to keep vaccinating kids on the recommended schedule â&#x20AC;&#x201D; because thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitely the best way to protect kids,â&#x20AC;? Klein told Reuters Health. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The acellular vaccine does work, it just doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t last as long as we hoped,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the best tool we have right now to protect against pertussis.â&#x20AC;?

How to play Fill in the grid, so that every row, every column and every 3x3 box contains the digits 1-9.

There is no math involved.

You solve the puzzle with reasoning and logic.

Use cover to A study expose the in errors cover-up Re: ‘Too broad a brush: Re: ‘Graphic cover not needed to make a point’ (Metro, May 1719) I congratulate Metro for showing the exact results of the factories’ deep greed. I believe any other way of expression would simply strengthen the corrupt system that’s supposed to protect these workers and further the financial gains of the factory owners even while knowing how poorly their factories operate.

I believe such exposure creates hope. The photos simply reported the reality of what’s happening, to prevent more deaths.

There is no need for a preventive format in the paper. I consider it hypocrisy.

How a minority is getting a voice’ (Metro, May 20) This demonstrates the dangers of stereotyping any minority, not just AAPI. Any attempt to place them in a grouping, and assign any characteristic to them, is foolish. This also goes for almost every other ethnic or religious group on the planet. The problem with trying to stereotype people based on arbitrarily assigned criteria is that you almost always get it wrong.

Really.

Is the customer always right?

Books. An editor at the Chronicle of Higher Education takes aim at consumer culture within higher education.

Classes in New York City, Westchester, and online..

Before stepping into his current role as editor-atlarge at the Chronicle of Higher Education, Jeffrey Selingo was a reporter there for 14 years. His first book — “College (Un) bound: The Future of Higher Education and What it Means for Students” — was released last week by Harvest Books. We asked Selingo for his input about the increasingly complex world of higher education.

What has changed in higher ed since you began writing about it?

As prices go up, people have more questions about what they get from higher education. I think more and more, students treat it like any other industry they consume. Although, I also argue that students have to be savvier about their consumer choices in education. Most parents and students still pick colleges in a very emotional way.

What comes out of that emotional response?

We have a very romantic view of higher education: big-time universities, quads, small classes, gothic buildings, football weekends. But in reality, students and parents are buying a product. They need to know if they’re going to graduate on time, if they’ll get a job, what their debt load will be and who’s going to be teaching them.

Jeff Selingo JAY PREMACK PHOTOGRAPHY

How has this studentconsumer shift changed education?

Students have a lot more expectation [than they

did previously]. They are the customer, and the customer is always right. As a result, we’ve seen grade inflation. The classroom has turned into a giant favor exchange. Part-time faculty need to please students to get good course evaluations. Students want to get good grades, because they’re paying a lot of money. There’s not much academic rigor at some colleges.

The big tech question

How will technology change higher ed?

Choose from more than 600 courses this summer, including:

thousands of colleges.

Some people really believe that. If you talk to 18-yearolds, they don’t want go to school online, they want the typical residential experience. I think [technology] will be injected into

that traditional model.

There will be more hybrid courses and more students will watch lectures online. Then they’ll go to class for the high impact class, where you really need human interaction.

New York City’s Best Kept Secret:

B RAMSON O RT C OLLEGE BRAMSON ORT COLLEGE What makes a school stand out from the rest? Many New York City Colleges claim to offer great educational services and programs, but there is one college that stands out as the best kept secret in affordable non-for-profit private school education. Located in the heart of the beautiful Queens and Brooklyn neighborhoods, Bramson ORT College has recently received much attention with the addition of the Game Design and Programming, Renewable Energy, and Paralegal Degree Programs. The school has been viewed as an oasis of career opportunities for inner city youth. The Queens and Brooklyn Campuses also offer Degrees in Accounting, Business Management, Business Management Online, Medical Assistant, Administrative Assistant, Professional Billing and Coding, Electronics Technology, Computer Networking, Graphic Design, and many more.

Class sizes are small, so students get the individual attention they need in a hands-on environment. The faculty are professionals with classroom and industry experience. In addition, the school offers GED Prep classes for the community.

What is most impressive is that Bramson ORT College is part of an international World ORT Network that focuses on technology-driven education and training that has transformed the lives of millions of graduates.

In today’s tough economy, students and parents of High School graduates should consider the benefits of such a school as Bramson ORT College that provides low tuition coupled with great scholarships and educational opportunities. As the popularity of the school’s programs spreads throughout its campuses, the college might not be a “secret” for much longer. The school is close to major transportation, including the E, F, N, R, M, and D subway lines. For more information call (866) 854-5014 or visit the website at www.BramsonORT.edu.

One of the unique features of studying at Empire State College is the opportunity to design a degree program based on your individual goals. You can design an undergraduate degree tailored to ďŹ t your educational interests without having to negotiate between rigid departments or structured majors.

Through a combination of onsite and online study, study groups, residencies and cross-registration, students build credit toward their unique degree.

As part of the State University of New York, Empire State College tuition rates and fees are among the lowest around. Many students are eligible for ďŹ nancial aid in the form of grants, scholarships, loans or employer tuition beneďŹ ts, which makes a SUNY degree even more accessible.

NBA. Former Nets top pick arrested on gun charge in Washington

NFL. Jets back Mike Goodson meets with team about arrest Mandatory organized team activities begin tomorrow for the Jets, but running back Mike Goodson was in camp yesterday — and in this case, early wasn’t good.

Goodson was arrested over the weekend for possession of marijuana and a handgun. He will likely head to court on June 12,

right in the middle of the team’s June minicamp.

As for yesterday, Goodson reportedly spoke to general manager John Idzik and the coaching staff about his arrest.

Owner Woody Johnson, in Boston for the NFL owners’ meetings, said the team was still “investigating the facts.” METRO

Celtics guard Terrence Williams was arrested Sunday after Washington police said he brandished a gun at the mother of his son during a visit.

Williams was drafted by the Nets in 2009 with the No. 11 pick and spent part of two seasons with them. He played with Boston this season. METRO

Shumpert: Knicks’ season was failure NBA playoffs.

The veteran-laden Knicks were dealt a harsh assessment by their young star.

Professional sports are mostly about wins or losses — which explains Iman Shumpert’s view of the 2012-13 season.

“We failed. We didn’t do what we were supposed to do,” Shumpert said during his season-ending exit interview session with the media on Monday.

Despite earning the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference and winning 54 regular-season games, Shumpert doesn’t look back fondly on a season that ended far earlier than he, his teammates and the rabid fan base expected.

“At least the Eastern Conference finals,” said Shumpert, when asked his minimum expectations for the Knicks this postseason.

Vegas baby Shumpert said the coaches want him to play in Las Vegas summer league, and added he’s excited about doing so because he desires to be “under coaching and under coach’s wing” all summer.

“We knew we were supposed to go further, and we didn’t.”

Shumpert, who spoke barely above a whisper during his session, seemed wise beyond his years when discussing the current state — and forthcoming prospects — of the Knicks.

“We just have to hold each other accountable,” Shumpert said. “Come next year, little things like not playing hard should never come into play. “

Setting a standard

Anthony feels team can win Carmelo Anthony thinks the future is bright and that this team can contend.

“We’ve set a standard,[and] kind of teased the city of New York a little bit, because now everybody expects us to play at this high level. Eventually something has to happen. We want to win the championship, that’s the goal.”

Anthony also said he will have his left shoulder, injured in the opening round against Boston, checked out and see if he needs rehab. TONY WILLIAMS

Rangers face two-game deficit for second series NHL playoffs. The Bruins have jumped out to an early advantage, but John Tortorella is not concerned.

The facts paint a bleak picture for the Rangers.

For the second straight series, they return to the Garden in a 0-2 hole. According to Elias Sports, no team in NHL history has won consecutive Stanley Cup playoff series after spotting opponents the first two games as the Rangers have done.

The Rangers have been outscored 8-4 in the first two games of the conference semifinals. Only three players — Brian Boyle, Carl

Hagelin and Anton Stralman — have a positive rating after the first two games. The power play is 0 for 8.

And their goaltender appeared to injure his shoulder in the final moments of Sunday afternoon’s 5-2 loss in Game 2.

With all of that said, head coach John Tortorella painted a much different picture.

“I thought we played a much better game in the second game,” Tortorella told reporters after the Rangers’ practice in Greenburgh, N.Y., yesterday in preparation for Game 3. “I’m very optimistic as far as where we’re going as a team.”

Lundqvist brushes aside Game 2 injury The biggest reason for head coach John Tortorella’s confidence is Henrik Lundqvist, who appears likely to play in Game 3.

Lundqvist, the reigning Vezina winner, tweaked his arm in the third period of Sunday’s loss while making a diving save.

“I landed on it awkwardly and it hurt a little bit, but it’s under control,” Lundqvist said. “Everybody is sore. It’s the playoffs.

You can’t sit out because it’s hurting a little bit. It happens.

You have to do the right things to keep it going.” DENIS GORMAN

NHL playoffs. Bruins defensemen to make trip, status unknown The Bruins got some good news yesterday — that is, if they even want their trio of injured defensemen back.

Wade Redden and Dennis Seidenberg will both travel to New York for Game 3, though head coach Claude Julien was not certain if they will play. Andrew Ference, the third injured defen-

seman, appears unlikely to play.

In the absence of the three veterans, Dougie Hamilton, Matt Bartkowski and Torey Krug have been excellent.

Krug made his career start in Game 1 and has scored his first career goals in the first two games of the series.

Ryan McDonagh GETTY IMAGES

Second thought

Defense back to original It appears as if the customary top defensive pairing of Ryan McDonagh and Dan Girardi will be reunited in Game 3.

According to reports, the two skated together during yesterday’s practice session. DENIS GORMAN
