Cory Haik, who recently joined Mic as chief strategy officer after working in a similar capacity at the Washington Post, says a big part of what she and Mic's director of growth and editorial products, Marcus Moretti, are working on is an attempt to marry traditional measurements of reader activity with newer ways of determining if readers are getting long - term value from what the site is providing.

I would welcome the opportunity to determine who on my staff would receive differentiated pay, especially if value - added student achievement and standardized test scores are tracked as a part of the measurement.

As Harvard professor Dan Koretz, who studies educational measurement, points out, «Even a very good test measures only a modest proportion of what we value.»

Union leaders demean hundreds of thousands of New York and New Jersey teachers who value clear - eyed measurements of student growth.

Then the software recommends what to order, based on those measurements — but the employee can make adjustments if desired (this is primarily for the veterans who want to add value; in fact even the inventor of the device admits that the system does better than he does and no longer «improves» its recommendations).

To point out just a couple of things: — oceans warming slower (or cooling slower) than lands on long - time trends is absolutely normal, because water is more difficult both to warm or to cool (I mean, we require both a bigger heat flow and more time); at the contrary, I see as a non-sense theory (made by some serrist, but don't know who) that oceans are storing up heat, and that suddenly they will release such heat as a positive feedback: or the water warms than no heat can be considered ad «stored» (we have no phase change inside oceans, so no latent heat) or oceans begin to release heat but in the same time they have to cool (because they are losing heat); so, I don't feel strange that in last years land temperatures for some series (NCDC and GISS) can be heating up while oceans are slightly cooling, but I feel strange that they are heating up so much to reverse global trend from slightly negative / stable to slightly positive; but, in the end, all this is not an evidence that lands» warming is led by UHI (but, this effect, I would not exclude it from having a small part in temperature trends for some regional area, but just small); both because, as writtend, it is normal to have waters warming slower than lands, and because lands» temperatures are often measured in a not so precise way (despite they continue to give us a global uncertainity in TT values which is barely the instrumental's one)-- but, to point out, HadCRU and MSU of last years (I mean always 2002 - 2006) follow much better waters» temperatures trend; — metropolis and larger cities temperature trends actually show an increase in UHI effect, but I think the sites are few, and the covered area is very small worldwide, so the global effect is very poor (but it still can be sensible for regional effects); but I would not run out a small warming trend for airport measurements due mainly to three things: increasing jet planes traffic, enlarging airports (then more buildings and more asphalt — if you follow motor sports, or simply live in a town / city, you will know how easy they get very warmer than air during day, and how much it can slow night - time cooling) and overall having airports nearer to cities (if not becoming an area inside the city after some decade of hurban growth, e.g. Milan - Linate); — I found no point about UHI in towns and villages; you will tell me they are not large cities; but, in comparison with 20-40-60 years ago when they were «countryside», many small towns and villages have become part of larger hurban areas (at least in Europe and Asia) so examining just larger cities would not be enough in my opinion to get a full view of UHI effect (still remembering that it has a small global effect: we can say many matters are due to UHI instead of GW, maybe even that a small part of measured GW is due to UHI, and that GW measurements are not so precise to make us able to make good analisyses and predictions, but not that GW is due to UHI).

But for those who want to see a better experiment that compared real and modeled conditions, take a look at Part Six — Visualization where actual measurements of humidity and temperature through the atmosphere were taken, the detailed spectra of downwards longwave radiation was measured and the model and measured values were compared.
