Description The present invention relates to hydrogen power sources of a type which receives hydrogen fuel and produces electricity and heat. In particular, this invention relates to a hybrid power supply which is particularly suited for sub-zero temperature environments. Thermoelectric generators, photovoltaics and primary batteries are used as a source of primary power in remote areas where the usual sources of power are inappropriate or unavailable, where service and maintenance of equipment is limited, or where the transportation cost of the fuel is a major component of the overall system's operating cost. Examples of remote applications include: unattended communication repeaters, navigational aids, and weather and oceanographic stations. For such applications, the power system must be self-contained and highly reliable. Fuel cells however, although used in large (larger than 250 KW) stationary applications and space are not commonly used in remote areas to date, because of their perceived lack of reliability and of their susceptibility to low temperatures when shut down. Generally, a fuel cell is a device which converts the energy of a chemical reaction into electricity. It differs from a battery in that the fuel cell can generate power as long as the fuel and oxidant are supplied. A fuel cell produces an electromotive force by bringing the fuel and oxidant into contact with two suitable electrodes and an electrolyte. A fuel, such as hydrogen gas, for example, is introduced at a first electrode where it reacts electrochemically in the presence of the electrolyte to produce electrons and cations in the first electrode. The electrons are circulated from the first electrode to a second electrode through an electrical circuit connected between the electrodes. Cations pass through the electrolyte to the second electrode. Simultaneously, an oxidant, such as oxygen gas or air, is introduced to the second electrode where the oxidant reacts electrochemically in presence of the electrolyte consuming the electrons circulated through the electrical circuit and the cations at the second electrode. The anions formed at the cathode react with the cations to forma reaction product. The first electrode may alternatively be referred to as an oxidizing or fuel electrode, and the second electrode may alternatively be referred to as an oxidant or reducing electrode. The half-cell reactions at the two electrodes are, respectively, as follows: H2 →2H+ +2e- 1/2O2 +2H+ +2e- →H2 O The external electrical circuit withdraws electrical current and thus receives electrical power from the cell. The overall fuel cell reaction produces electrical energy which is the sum of the separate half-cell reactions written above. Water and heat are typical by-products of the reaction. In practice, fuel cells are not operated as single units. Rather, fuel cells are connected in series, stacked one on top of the other, or placed side by side. A series of fuel cells, referred to as fuel cell stack, is normally enclosed in a housing. The fuel and oxidant are directed through manifolds to the electrodes, while cooling is provided either by the reactants or by a cooling medium. Also within the stack are current collectors, cell-to-cell seals, insulation, piping, and instrumentation. The stack, housing, and associated hardware make up the fuel cell module. Fuel cells may be classified by the type of electrolyte, either liquid or solid. A fuel cell using a solid electrolyte, such as a solid polymer referred to as a proton exchange membrane is kept moist with water because the membrane will not operate efficiently when dry. The membrane requires constant humidification during the operation of the fuel cell, normally by adding water to the reactant gases, usually hydrogen and oxygen, that pass by the membrane on each side of the membrane/electrode assembly. The proton exchange membrane used in a solid polymer fuel cell acts as the electrolyte as well as a barrier for preventing the mixing of the reactant gases. An example of a suitable membrane is a copolymeric perfluorocarbon material containing a basic unit of fluorinated carbon chain and a sulphonic acid group. There may be variations in the molecular configurations of this membrane. Excellent performances are obtained using these membranes if the fuel cells are operated under fully hydrated, essentially water-saturated conditions and ambient temperatures. As such, the membrane must be continuously humidified. Further more, the temperature of the fuel cell stack must be kept above freezing in order to prevent freezing of the stack. Cooling, humidification and pressurization requirements increase the cost and complexity of the fuel cell, reducing its commercial appeal as an alternative energy supply in many applications. Accordingly, advances in fuel cell research is enabling fuel cells to operate without reactant conditioning, no flow-field provisions, and under air-breathing, atmospheric conditions while maintaining usable power output. The current state-of-the-art in fuel cells, although increasingly focusing on simplified air-breathing atmospheric designs, has not adequately addressed operations in sub-zero temperatures, which requires further complexity of the design. For instance, heat exchangers and thermal insulation are required, as are additional control protocols for startup, shut-down, and reactant humidifiers. A catalytic burner operates on a principle similar to fuel cells, but at an accelerated kinetic rate and increased temperature. A fuel, for example hydrogen, is oxidized through direct contact with oxygen or air at a rate induced by the presence of a catalytic bed separating the two reactants, for example, ceramic beads containing small amount of platinum on the surface. The by-product of the chemical reaction is similar to that of a fuel cell: 1/2O2 +H2 →H2 O+HEAT The higher consumption rate of the reactants and concomitant heat release reflects the fact that the reaction occurs through direct contact rather than through a proton/electron transaction. Catalytic burning is flameless, and occurs at a temperature between that of a fuel cell's "cold combustion" and that of an open-flame combustion. Flow rate can be pulsed or modulated to achieve varying temperature profiles. Hydrogen catalytic burning requires no pilot flame or spark to be initiated. The Peltier module of a thermoelectric generator functions on the basis of the Seebeck effect, where the electromotive force (emf) potential is proportional to the temperature differential of the module: dE=αdT One thermoelectric element commonly used is a solid-state device manufactured by MELCOR. A temperature differential between the hot catalytic burner and the cool sub-zero air or cooling fins side of a thermoelectric element generates a low-potential current which can be used to service a load. In generating electricity, fuel cells and thermoelectric generators each possess comparative advantages and disadvantages. For instance, compared to fuel cells, thermoelectric generators are electrically inefficient, converting less than 4% of the chemical energy available from the fuel into electricity, exhausting to the environment most of the fuel's energy as unused heat. They also require a spark or ignition source to fire up when operated on fuels other than hydrogen. The thermoelectrics' very low efficiency, low power output and considerable fuel cell requirements are particularly detrimental to applications where the fuel must be transported over long, inaccessible distances such as mountain top or Arctic applications. On the other hand, thermoelectric generators are very reliable and economical, have no moving parts and are operable in cold climates because of the catalytic burners' heat producing characteristics. Fuel cells, in contrast, suffer from pre-commercial unreliability, limited longevity and an inability to start spontaneously in deep sub-zero temperatures. Sub-zero temperatures upon shut down can freeze a stack and cause damage to the structural components and electrode components. On the other hand, fuel cells offer significantly higher efficiency in converting the fuel's chemical energy to electricity converting between 40 to 60% compared to the thermoelectric's 4%. Separately-used, fuel cells, thermoelectric generators or catalytic burners are commercially available. Prior art examples, such as Hamada et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5,314,762, offers a combination of a catalytic burner with a fuel cell, both operating on hydrogen where the burner is used to preheat the fuel cell. Still others such as Bromberg et al., WO 95/17021, offer the combination of a plasmatron and a fuel cell. However, none disclose the combination of fuel cell, thermoelectric generator and catalytic burner, the combination of which offers unique advantages for off-grid powering in extreme climates. The disadvantages of the prior art when applied to cold-weather, off-grid power may be overcome by providing a hybrid electrical power source which receives hydrogen fuel and produces electricity and heat. It is desirable to provide electricity and heating sources providing a degree of mutual redundancy to one another, allowing the self-contained system to operate in the cold and to achieve levels of reliability, fuel economy and operability unachievable by the previous state of the art without significant complexity and capital cost increases. According to one aspect of the invention, there is provided a power supply which includes a fuel cell stack, a thermoelectric module and a burner module. The fuel cell stack generates a primary source of electricity and secondary source of heat. The thermoelectric module generates a secondary source of electricity. The burner module is juxtaposed to the fuel cell stack and the thermoelectric module to provide the primary source of heat for the system, to pre-heat a fuel and an oxidant for the fuel cell stack, and to generate a temperature differential across the thermoelectric module. The burner module can be regulated to maintain the system's operating temperature. According to another aspect of the invention, there is provided a catalytic burner to heat the system and to increase the temperature of the hot side of a thermoelectric element, a thermoelectric generator to generate electricity, and a fuel cell to generate electricity and heat. According to another aspect of the invention, the fuel supplied to the burner is intermittently supplied by regulating a solenoid or proportionating valve responsive to a temperature measurement at the central core of the fuel cell stack or at another strategic location in the system. According to another aspect of the invention, the catalytic burner is coupled to the hot side of a thermoelectric element through a thermal mass, for instance, an aluminum plate. The cool side of the element is intimately bonded to cooling fins or to other active/passive cooling device, to increase the temperature differential across the element. According to another aspect of the invention, the single thermoelectric element can be cascaded by a number of elements in series or in parallel, to achieve a specified voltage or amperage rating. According to another aspect of the invention, the fuel for the fuel cell is brought dead-ended, i.e. non-circulating, to the oxidizing electrodes, at constant near-ambient or atmospheric pressure. According to another aspect of the invention, there is provided a method of generating heat and electrical energy. The method includes the steps of supplying a fuel to a burner for generating a temperature differential across a thermoelectric element thereby generating a secondary source of electricity, heating a system's enclosure or micro-climate, pre-heating a fuel for consumption by a fuel cell stack, supplying the pre-heated fuel to a heated fuel cell stack thereby generating a primary source of electricity and secondary source of heat, regulating the fuel supplied to the burner to maintain a set temperature in the system's enclosure and at the hot side of the thermoelectric element and in the fuel cell stack. According to another aspect of the invention, there is provided an open-flame burner operating at a relatively high heat release regime to increase the temperature of the hot side of a thermoelectric element. According to another aspect of the invention, the fuel and oxidant for the fuel cell can be brought under higher-than-atmospheric pressure, with the oxidant, either air or oxygen, at a pressure higher than that of the fuel. According to yet another aspect of the invention, the thermoelectric element is electrically connected to the fuel cell stack, so that the fuel cells' current can be applied to the Peltier modules to create a temperature gradient or differential across the element, and by reversing the direction of the current fed from the fuel cells to the thermoelectric elements, the power source can provide some degree of heating or cooling of surfaces as required by some applications. The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and form a part of the specification, illustrate the embodiments of the present invention, and, together with the description, serve to explain the principles of the invention. It is to be noted that the drawings illustrate only typical embodiments of the invention and are therefore not to be considered limiting its scope, for the invention will admit to other equally effective embodiments. In the drawings: FIG. 1 is an exploded plan view of a first embodiment of the present invention; FIG. 2 is a plan view of an assembled system of the embodiment of FIG. 1; FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of the electrical, heat and chemical transactions of the system of the embodiment of FIG. 1; FIG. 4 is a computer display of the embodiment of FIG. 1 illustrating typical graphs of the power source's various parameters; FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of a second embodiment of the present invention; FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of the flow diagram of the combined coolant water stream through a heat exchanger and an active section of fuel cell stack of FIG. 5; and FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram of a third embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, there is shown the power supply 10 and its constituent elements, namely a fuel cell stack 58, a burner module 34 and a thermoelectric module 40. Thermoelectric module 40 has a housing 12 having fins 14 on an outer side and a cavity 16 on an inner side. Thermoelectric element 18 is mounted in cavity 16 which is closed with a thermal mass 20. Screws 22 fasten thermal mass 20 to housing 12. The burner module 34 comprises a housing 24 having an axial cavity 26 for receiving burner 28 and a bed of catalytic beads 31. Housing 24 has a flange 33 for spacing the burner module 34 from the thermoelectric module 40. Flange 33 has a plurality of venting and breathing holes 35 to ensure adequate oxidant and fuel to the bed of catalytic beads 31 as well as venting the water vapor produced. Axial cavity 26 has a gas inlet 3 to the burner module 34. The assembled thermoelectric module 34 screws onto housing 24. Housing 24 has a central cavity for retaining a solenoid or proportioning valve 37 for controlling the supply of the fuel to the burner module 34. The housing 24 acts as a thermal mass to distribute the heat generated by the burner 28 back to the fuel cell stack 58. The housing 24 has a threaded opening 7 to receive fuel cell stack 58 in a threaded engagement, similar to the manner of the engagement with the thermoelectric module 40, so that the three components assemble to form a monolithic system, as depicted in FIG. 2. Fuel line 2 introduces fuel to inlet 9 of fuel cell 58. A secondary fuel line 3 branches to solenoid 37. The outlet line of solenoid 37 is fed into burner 28 by fuel line 4. FIG. 3 is a schematic flow diagram of the chemical, thermal and power relationship of the integrated fuel cell based thermoelectric generation system. The power generation system includes a fuel cell stack 58, a catalytic burner module 34, a thermoelectric module 40, and a heat exchanger 44. In addition to the system components, the integrated system includes a fuel (hydrogen) circuit 30 and an oxidant (air containing oxygen) circuit 32. The chemical energy available from the fuel along with oxygen containing air is converted to heat in the catalytic burner module 34. The heat produced from this reaction is converted to electricity by passing it through the thermoelectric module 40. The conversion of fuel to electricity is an inefficient process, typically converting less than 4% of the available energy, with most of the energy converted to heat 42 and the rest of the energy is vented through exhaust vents 50, 48 and 46. However, the advantage of this waste heat is that it can be utilized to warm the fuel cell stack 58 and peripherals and the electrical power 52 can be used to provide start-up power for parasitic peripherals or as emergency backup power. The processed (heated) fuel stream 54 along with the processed (heated) oxidant stream 56 is fed into a fuel cell 58 which can convert more than 60% of the available energy into electricity 60. Some of the energy is wasted as heat 66 and some leaves via the exhaust vent 64. The display of FIG. 4 present the performance of the preferred embodiment, where the voltage of the two subsystems are plotted against a time scale common to that of the burner's temperature profile. One can observe that the thermoelectric component of the voltage increases with the hot plate's temperature, and that the cooling fins remain within 5� C. of the ambient temperature. The voltage output of the fuel cell is a function of the load imposed on the system, with minimal or no correlation to the burner temperature range. In the depicted experiment, the fuel cell stack 58 is a 6-cell air-breathing polymer exchange membrane fuel cell stack, and the thermoelectric element 18 is a FRIGICHIP(TM) element from MELCOR. There had been no active circulation of reactant gases for this demonstration. Ambient air at standard temperature and pressure had been convectively consumed from the environment by the fuel cell stack and the catalytic burner. Hydrogen 99.995% pure had been fed dead-ended to the power source at constant, near-atmospheric pressure. The system had been self-starting and provided power on-demand through repetitive cycles shown on the graphs. The burner's thermal plate temperature (hot side of the thermoelectric module) had been maintained within a 15� C. band below and above 250� C. through the on/off modulation of the miniature proportioning valve dispensing hydrogen. In a second embodiment, depicted at FIG. 5, the invention advances a typical fuel cell system such as that disclosed by Watkins et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5,200,278, by providing a catalytic burner to heat the hot side of a thermoelectric element and to warm the fuel cell stack. This embodiment is typical of a retrofit to a bus or an automobile fuel cell application and would advance the design by providing stand-by heat and secondary power during fuel cell shutdown. It is also typical of the retrofit to a stationary fuel cell application whereby auxiliary heat and power during shutdown is provided from the fuel rather than the electrical grid. FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of an integrated fuel cell based hydrogen thermoelectric power generation system 200 incorporating fuel cell stack 100 and hydrogen thermoelectric catalytic generator 204, 101 and 123. Fuel cell stack 100 and hydrogen thermoelectric catalytic burner assemblies 101 and 123, respectively, belong to a circuit comprising variable load 103 and 152 respectively and contactor switch 105 and 154 are electrically connected. In addition to the fuel cell stack 100 and hydrogen thermoelectric catalytic generator modules 123 and 101, the integrated system includes a fuel (hydrogen) circuit, an oxidant (air containing oxygen) circuit and a coolant (water) circuit. The fuel circuit of system 200 illustrated in FIG. 5 includes a pressurized substantially pure hydrogen supply 112 having fuel feed line 114 associated therewith. On-off valve 116 actuates the flow of fuel from supply 112. Fuel inlet stream 118 enters heat exchanger 204 where the fuel can be pre-warmed with heat produced from the catalytic burner 123 before entering fuel cell stack 100. Humidified fuel outlet stream 120 exits fuel cell stack 100 and passes through a deionizing filter 122. Humidified fuel outlet stream 124 is fed to a water separator 126 in which a portion of the water from stream 124 is removed and accumulated in reservoir 128. Periodically the removed water is drained from reservoir 128 through water drain lines 130, 134, 136 by actuation of valve 132. The dehumidified fuel stream 138 is recirculated by pump 140 through return lines 142 and 150 to fuel inlet stream 118. Return line 150 preferably includes a check valve 151. Periodically purging of the fuel stream line 142 is accomplished using line 144 having purge valve 146 to expel contaminants through 148. The oxidant circuit of system 200 includes an air compressor 162 having an oxidant feed line 168 associated therewith. Oxidant inlet stream 168 enters heat exchanger 204 where the oxidant can be pre-heated before entering fuel cell stack 100. Oxidant outlet stream 170 exiting fuel cell stack 100 contains, in addition to the unreacted gases, water from humidification and entrained water. A thermocouple 172 measures the temperature of oxidant outlet stream 170. This temperature measurement can either actuate an air circulation system associated with the coolant heat exchanger 222 as described below if the temperature is too high or actuate catalytic burner hydrogen on-off valve 119 which will pre-heat in-coming oxidant flow for cold start-up situations. The humidified oxidant stream 170 exiting fuel cell stack 100 is directed to water separator 174. Water separator 174 removes the absorbed and entrained water from stream 170. The removed water is accumulated in reservoir 176. The water is periodically drained from reservoir 176 through drain lines 134 and 136 and valve 188. The oxidant in the illustrated embodiment is a dilute reactant and therefore it is not circulated. Instead the air stream is vented to the atmosphere through exhaust line 178, valve 180 and line 182. The coolant circuit of system 200 in the illustrated embodiment derives its coolant fluid from water removed from the humidified oxidant stream 170 and accumulated in reservoir 176. As shown in FIG. 5, coolant water stream 192 exits reservoir 176 and is pumped through water circulation pump 194 to a deionization filter 198 through line 196. The deionized coolant stream 202 is fed to the hydrogen heat exchanger 204. If the coolant water stream 192 is below the operating temperature of the stack 100, which is often experienced during start-up in cold climates, the catalytic burner 123 is turned on by allowing hydrogen or a hydrogen-air mixture to flow from hydrogen stream 117. The heat produced by catalytic burner 123 is transferred to the hot side of thermoelement 101 which in turn is transferred to heat exchanger 204 by the flow of coolant water stream 202. The electricity produced is used to power the water circulation pump 194. The pre-heated coolant water stream 202 is then led into fuel cell stack 100. Air circulation fan 222 is turned on if the coolant water stream exiting fuel cell stack 100 is above a predetermined value. Alternate temperature controls are possible. FIG. 6 is a schematic flow diagram of the combined coolant water stream through the heat exchanger 204 and active section of fuel cell stack 100. Water inlet stream 202 enters heat exchanger 204 where if hydrogen catalytic burner 123 is turned on, water coolant stream 202 will absorb heat generated by the burner necessary to pre-warm fuel cell stack 100 or provide necessary heat to sustain fuel cell stack 100 in case of malfunction or necessary shut down during cold weather. The water stream 206 enters fuel cell stack 100 and is directed through water inlet manifold 94 to coolant water channels 96 within the active section of fuel cell stack 100. During cold weather start-up or in case of fuel cell 100 malfunction, the water stream within coolant channels 96 is able to transfer heat absorbed in heat exchanger 204 to the active section of fuel cell stack 100. Water manifold 102 directs the water stream exiting coolant channels 96 to the coolant water outlet stream 104. In a third embodiment, depicted in FIG. 7, an air-breathing hydrogen dead-ended fuel cell stack 301, a thermoelectric generator 101 and a catalytic burner 123 are combined to create an integrated power generation system that can operate in sub-zero temperatures. In addition to the fuel cell stack 301, thermoelectric generator 101 and catalytic burner 123, the integrated system includes a fuel (hydrogen) circuit, an oxidant (air containing oxygen) and a heat transfer fluid (ethylene glycol) circuit. Optionally, the heat transfer fluid could be the same water used to humidify the fuel cell stack 301. The fuel circuit of system 300 illustrated in FIG. 7 includes pressurized substantially pure hydrogen supply 112 having fuel feed line 114 associated therewith. On-off valve 116 actuates the flow of fuel from supply 112. Fuel inlet stream 118 enters heat exchanger 204 where it can be pre-warmed with heat produced from the hydrogen catalytic burner 123 and then it enters the fuel cell stack 301. Periodically purging of the fuel cell stack 301 is accomplished using purge valve 246 to expel contaminants which are consumed by the burner 123. The oxidant circuit of system 300 does not require any compressors or pressurized oxidant supply because of its air breathing design. Air enters the fuel cell stack 301 via air inlet ports 224. The heat transfer circuit of system 300 in the illustrated embodiment is a closed loop circuit. As shown in FIG. 7, heat transfer fluid stream 196 is pumped through water circulation pump 194 through line 202. The heat transfer fluid is fed to the heat exchanger 204. If conditions warrant and the hydrogen burner 123 is activated producing heat and electricity from the thermoelectric generator 101, heat transfer fluid in heat exchanger 204 absorbs heat and is then distributed through fuel cell stack 301 similar to the coolant stream flow pattern of FIG. 5 heating the active area of fuel cell stack 301. Once the temperature of the fuel cell stack 301 reaches a predetermined value, of about 60� C., hydrogen burner 123 can be turned off by closing valve 119 which stops the flow of hydrogen to the burner. In the special case of a fuel cell malfunction while operating in cold climates, the hydrogen thermoelectric burner assembly of the system is simply activated by opening on-off valve 119 which actuates the flow of fuel from supply line 117. The heat produced from the catalytic burner 123 supplies thermoelectric generator 101 which provides the system with emergency power. The heat can also be transferred to the heat transfer fluid and then circulated according to FIG. 6 through the fuel cell stack 301 saving the stack from sub-zero temperature damage by keeping it warm. As a further benefit from the system, circulation fan 125 can be actuated and used to distribute heat throughout the system enclosure 302 ensuring system protection from sub-zero temperatures maintaining an optimum operating temperature of the system. It is now readily apparent that the above description of the fuel cell stack and unit fuel cell components is to a preferred embodiment and that the invention is not limited to the specific exemplary materials. For example, the fuel cell stack could be assembled on the annular feed air breathing design of Wilson U.S. Pat. No. 5,514,486 or Dahr's rectangular "chimney" grooves U.S. Pat. No. 5,242,764. Further, the catalytic beads or pads of the burner could be replaced, for example, by a catalytic mesh surface. The MELCOR thermoelectric elements could be replaced, for example, by Brown-Teledyne elements. The fuel could be provided from a hydride canister available from Hydrogen Consultants Inc. of Littleton, Colo., or from AF Sammer of Ringwood, N.J., rather than from a pressurized bottle. Further, the fuel could also include methane or any other fuel from which hydrogen can be derived. The foregoing description of the invention has been presented for purposes of illustration and description and is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise form disclosed, and obviously many modifications and variations are possible in light of the above teaching. The embodiments were chosen and described in order to best explain the principles of the invention and its practical application to thereby enable others skilled in the art to best utilize the invention in various embodiments and with various modifications or omissions as are suited to the particular use contemplated, without departing from the spirit and the scope of the invention.

dc.description.abstract | Although both tourism and wine are large contributors to the Italian economy and lifestyle, little is actually known about the practice of wine tourism as a niche sector. Academically, this niche tourism sector is extremely under-explored, and only a limited amount of information pertinent to the subject is currently available. This trend report will reveal an introduction to wine tourism, the history of its existence in Italy, its contributions to the economy, who the typical wine tourist is, impacts to date on the industry, and the anticipated future evolution. An analysis of current research determines that wine tourism in Italy has roots dating back to the Grand Tour in the mid nineteenth century, and in recent years has grown in popularity. Wine tourism has been regarded by Italy as a valid system for stimulating socio-economic advancement, and national laws regulate the wine and food routes. It is anticipated that the future of wine tourism in Italy will be largely shaped by the Internet, sustainability efforts, and a younger consumer and target market. | en_US |

Parent-teacher conferences begin
Parent-teacher conferences, being held at most high schools tonight and tomorrow, offer families the opportunity to meet teachers and learn how their children are doing in class. But it's hard for harried high school parents, who must rush around large buildings in an attempt to meet every teacher, to do that in the three minutes allotted for each meeting.
Our High School Hustle blogger Liz Willen thinks there must be a better way. Apparently, Chancellor Walcott agrees. He acknowledged as much in his Oct. 27 speech about parent engagement, likening the school conferences to "speed dating." The department is working on strengthening the conferences, he said, and has developed a tool-kit with sample questions to ask teachers as well as tips for how to prepare. Check out 10 questions on the DOE's website and let us know what you think.
Parents who don't speak English can get free over-the-phone interpretation services at evening parent-teacher conferences. Normally translation is available from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. by calling the Department of Education at 718-752-7373, ext. 4.
New blog for special ed teachers & parents
A special education teacher, Marisa Kaplan, has launched a new blog to help parent and teachers learn about how technology can help kids learn. The blog, EdGeeks.com, also provides place for parents to ask advice--including the questions you may not have time for in your parent-teacher conferences.
Kaplan, who has taught at Manhattan School for Children as well as The Equity Project Charter School, says she wants to bridge the gap between home and school.
Elementary Dad: Learning amid special needs
"I hear that some kids in your 1st-grade class have special needs," my sister (a retired teacher) told my daughter. My daughter stared back in confusion. When you're in 1st grade, a "special need" isn't autism or attention-deficit disorder. A "special need" means you have to go to the bathroom really bad.
In fact, as many as 40 percent of the kids in my daughter's class do have special needs, meaning they have a learning problem that demands extra attention. But my daughter is unaware of such things. Judging from the "How was your day?" feedback I get, her 1st-grade class is rather typical, except now and then a kid throws a crayon at the teacher.
Poll: How important are aides at your school?
The city will lay off nearly 800 low-paid school support staff on Friday to help close a $35 million budget gap. School aides, parent coordinators and other workers got their pink slips on Sept. 22. Pending negotiations this week between their union, District Council 37, and the Department of Education, Oct. 7 will be their last day.
A DC 37 representative said 701 school aides, health aides, family workers in shelters and 87 high school parent coordinators will lose their jobs. These workers monitor the cafeteria and hallways, help kids on and off the bus, and take sick kids to the nurse, and generally "alleviate the daily needs of teachers so they can focus on teaching," a DC 37 rep told us.
State changes teacher evaluations
New York State is changing the way it evaluates teachers and principals. Starting in the 2011-2012 school year, the state will use a new system to evaluate teacher effectiveness based on factors like classroom performance and student achievement on standardized tests. The new system will affect how teachers and principals progress in their careers. Depending on ratings, teachers and principals may be given extra professional development, granted tenure or fired. Principals will also be judged on the school's performance.
This coming school year, teachers of grades 4-8 ELA and math and their principals will be evaluated under the new system. In 2012-13 all teachers and principals are scheduled for evaluation under the system.
Under the new system, each teacher and principal will receive an annual professional performance review (APPR) resulting in a single effectiveness score on a four-point rating system of "highly effective," "effective," "developing," or "ineffective." Under the current, less nuanced system, teachers either received satisfactory or unsatisfactory scores.
This year, still being rated with the old ratings system, about 97% of all New York City teachers received "satisfactory" ratings. These numbers correlate with the amount of NYC teachers denied tenure this year, which was also around 3%, and are likely a result of "the city's sustained push to usher more weak teachers out of the system," according to Gothamschools.org. In 2010, the city introduced a four-point rating system for awarding tenure similar to the system the state will put into effect next year, and the number of teachers who recently received tenure dropped dramatically compared to past years.
According to the state Board of Regents, the following factors will determine "teacher effectiveness" ratings:
- Student growth on state assessments or a comparable measure of student achievement growth (20%)
- Locally-selected measures of student achievement that are determined to be rigorous and comparable across classrooms (20%)
- other measures of teacher/principal effectiveness (60%) including multiple classroom observations for teachers and broad assessment of leadership and management actions for principals.
You can read more details on the New York State Education Department website. Advocates for Children posted fact sheets in English and Spanish to help parents understand the system and to monitor it for fairness.
Poll: Yay or nay to tougher teacher tenure?
Mayor Bloomberg declared an end to tenure as an "automatic right" for New York City teachers, when he announced last week that only 58% of over 5,000 eligible teachers were approved for tenure this year. This number represents a sharp departure from just five years ago, when 99% of eligible teachers earned tenure. The mayor attributed the significantly lower number to a tougher teacher rating policy that went into effect in 2010.
Of the teachers who were not granted tenure, 39% will have their probationary period extended through the coming year, and the remaining 3% were denied tenure, excluding them from working for city schools. According to The New York Times, a similar amount of all New York City teachers received unsatisfactory or "U" ratings this year, "suggesting the percentage of truly bad teachers in the school system may be similar across experience levels."
State law mandates that teachers are eligible for tenure after completing a three year probation and allows districts to determine how tenure will be awarded. In December, the city announced a new four-point rating scale for earning tenure--highly effective, effective, developing, and ineffective. Teachers must rank in one of the top two categories two years in a row to earn tenure. If principals rate teachers still-developing or ineffective, they must give written feedback to teachers on how they may improve. Principals and their supervisors are supposed to weigh test scores, parent feedback, classroom observations and other factors to determine the ratings. (Gothamschools.org has a copy of the "effectiveness framework" rating scale.)
Bloomberg and schools' Chancellor Dennis Walcott say the new system enforces higher standards for teachers and gives teachers clearer guidelines on how to improve. The pair went a step further on Bloomberg's weekly radio show, when the mayor questioned the need for tenure and suggested it's an unnecessary throwback from the McCarthy era. Walcott predicted that the number of teachers denied tenure, or put on probation, will increase next year.
Critics charge that the four-point teacher-effectiveness rating scale is not clear enough and fear that principals may give poor ratings for personal reasons that have little to do with teacher performance. Two teachers writing on GothamSchools.org say school administrators discriminated against them because of union activity.

Poll: How'd your parent-teacher conference go?
Elementary and high school parent-teacher conferences are taking place this week. District 75 conferences are coming up next week.
Parents of younger students may find the system easier to navigate with just one teacher (and classroom) to visit, and enough time to actually look at their child's work and talk at some length to the teacher.
By high school it can be a different story. Although some schools actually invite you to sit in on classes during Open School Week, at most large high schools the conferences are limited to a scant three minutes (egg timer and all). Parents may feel they need to put on track shoes to navigate the stairways, get from one classroom to another, and actually sit down for very short "conferences." In High School Hustle, Liz Willen thinks there must be a better way.
We'd like to know what you think. How did your parent-teacher conference go? Take our poll (on the right column) and let us know.
Diane Ravitch & Jon Stewart talk school reform
Jon Stewart this week blasted conservative media and politicians for protecting Wall Street while calling teachers "greedy." Last night Stewart's guest was education historian and NYU Professor Diane Ravitch, discussing her book The Death and Life of the Great American School System. I watched the show with Diane herself in a room full of education activists who shared the views that have made Ravitch a major voice in education in this country.
Stewart's mother was a teacher, and the personal offense he takes from the recent fad of teacher bashing comes across. "So what reforms do we need to change the conversation?" Stewart asked. Ravitch said that teachers all over country are demoralized, and Education Secretary Arne Duncan, as well as corporate philanthropists Eli Broad and Bill Gates, are on the wrong track. Rather than focusing on which teachers to punish or lay off, we should be looking at making sure children have adequate health care and pre-K education. Watch Jon Stewart's interview with Diane Ravitch and see what you think.
Join a conversation with UFT head Michael Mulgrew
"Struggling Schools, Hard Times: Teachers, communities and school improvement in a time of fiscal uncertainty," a conversation with Michael Mulgrew, president of the United Federation of Teachers will be presented by the Center for New York City Affairs on Wednesday from 10-11:30 a.m. at the Theresa Lang Community & Student Center, Arnhold Hall, 55 West 13th Street (between Fifth and Sixth Avenues), 2nd Floor at the New School.
The conversation will center on turning around struggling public schools and boosting community collaboration. How will educators, parents and the city respond to the state fiscal crisis? And what is the future of school accountability in New York City?

Cathie Black takes aim at teacher tenure
The new chancellor-designate, Cathie Black has emerged from seclusion to offer clues of what the priorities of her administration might be: taking aim at teacher tenure, and getting teachers off the city payroll who don't have regular classroom assignments.
After keeping quiet for a few weeks after Mayor Mike Bloomberg nominated her, Black gave a long interview with WABC news and met with the New York Daily News editorial board. She told WABC news: "I cannot imagine at age 25, 24 saying to someone you have a lifetime guarantee to this position, all you have to do is show up every day." Of course, no teacher has a lifetime guarantee of employment--they can be laid off in times of budget cuts--but it is also true that it's difficult to fire unionized teachers who have tenure. It seems clear that modifying the teachers' contract with regard to tenure is one of her goals.
Black told the Daily News she wants to scrap the requirements that she make layoffs based on seniority. She also wants to be able to get rid of teachers in the so-called "absent teacher reserve" or ATR pool. The ATR pool is made up of teachers who lost their jobs when their schools were closed. These teachers are still on the city payroll, even though they haven't found new positions. They are mostly assigned to work as substitutes when regular teachers are sick. "The idea that a large number of people are getting full employment and benefits for sitting around not doing a whole lot...we can't afford it," she told the Daily News.
And she'd like to make public teachers' ratings, a controversial issue that is being raised in court today.
Black's inexperience with the schools and lack of knowledge of the city's geography is apparent -- the Daily News said she thought she had visited a school in Bayside, Queens, when in fact she had been to Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. There will undoubtedly be more such stumbles as she learns her way around the city schools. But she appears to be finding a voice for what she thinks is wrong with teacher tenure and other rules affecting the city's educators.

Please see my Community Profile! about Asperger's Syndrome!
I've used vitex with great success. I also drank quarts of red raspberry leaf tea, I consider that more of an herb to enhance the job of the uterus then a fertility aid, but I know it's usually mentioned in herbal fertility books.
One that I would add that wasn't on the list would be maca root. Vitex improved my cycles but I still didn't get pg until I added in maca and then I did. I've used that combo to get my DD2 and then the baby due next month. |

No one's inclusion in the top 200 for 2013 surprises me more than Chris Davis. Entering last season Davis had over 1,000 mostly failed plate appearances at the major league level, and he wasn't showing any signs of improvement. In 59 games in 2011 Davis struck out his usual 30% of the time, and his 5.2 BB% was a career-worst. Because of Davis' style of play, he's useless if he's not hitting homers, and that year he hit just five in 59 games. It looked like the end of the line.
And then something sort of clicked. His strikeout and walk rates remained, well, bad, but he found his power stroke. For whatever reason, Davis has always had a very good BABIP, even during years when he's struggled, and that counteracts a lot of the damage his high strikeout rate does. Best of all, our xBABIP and xBA formulas confirm that these high BABIPs are legitimate. Davis hits a ton of line drives, keeps fly balls to an acceptable level (while muscling out a large portion of them), and he seems to have ...

Nicky Hilton's Nicholai Spring 2012 Collection
Nicky Hilton Hits NYC For Fashion's Night Out; We Scoop Her Collection and Fall Shopping Tips
Like us on Facebook
Nicky Hilton Hits NYC For Fashion's Night Out; We Scoop Her Collection and Fall Shopping Tips
Nicky Hilton has impressed us not only with her laid-back California style but also her designing skills. When we heard she was hitting New York City's Big Drop boutique to debut her Spring 2012 Nicholai collection, we hightailed it over to get the scoop on her latest baubles and more.
- On the Inspiration for Nicholai: I'm very obsessed with the whole deco era – the style, the people, the makeup, and I wanted to bring that out in my jewelry collection. But I realized that kind of jewelry can be very expensive, so I wanted to bring it at a reasonable price point but still great quality.
- Nicky's favorite piece: I love this [turquoise blue] cocktail ring! I tend to wear a lot of black and gray, so I love adding color through accessories.
- Fashion week plans: I'm going to Alice + Olivia, Diane von Furstenburg, and Charlotte Ronson.
- Nicky's Fall shopping list: I'm loving all the Fall Isabel Marant, and I'll buy boots. If you're shopping on a budget, invest in good boots. It's key.
- Fall shopping tip: I always tell everyone — don't skimp on shoes. Save on the clothes — you can have a rocking H&M or Zara dress, but pair it with really good accessories.
- Where Nicky shops: I shop everywhere — I love Topshop, Intermix, and Patricia Field when I'm in NYC.

3 years
such a sad waste of a life.
most likely, she has someone else do the designing and production who uses her name and likeness for marketing purposes. maybe she says yes or no to a proposed design or maybe she might have a little input, but I doubt hardly what a full time professional designer would have.
but that is besides the point.
the real issue is why doesn't this sad woman have a husband, a boyfriend, a child or even children?
she didn't go to college (according to wikipedia)
she dates (dated in the past) the son of the head of a movie studio. Does she love him, or is it just comfortable to be around other rich people? doesn't seem too serious, but who knows?
she is in the shadows of her dolt of a sister. she appears to be conflicted with avoiding the limelight but sometimes embracing it.
why do I even care about this gossip? maybe because nikki could have, if she put her mind to it, do something worthwhile for society, instead of just getting publicity for nonsense, how about doing some worthwhile charity work?
yeah, i know, you supposedly do charity work, but the only thing I see is when you attend a charity event, not actually WORKING at a charity.
look at angelie jolie - she travels around the world for various organizations and causes.
do something worhwhile with your life. make an example for your women to give them dignity and meaning, not some empty brained dream of attending parties and nightclubs and events.
aren't you getting a little too old for nightclubs anyway??? (certainly your sister is pathetic to still focus on DJ's and strobe lights and the craving for attention).
yeah, your sister hit the jackpot with her "brand" which grew from her "bad girl" image and the empty dolts around the world who worship that. notice she has to travel to mexico and the phillipines and some arab country for her "brand" where the young girls have even less sense of constructive accomplishment than they do here.
come on nikki, you can do better and you have the resources to do better than shop and party into spinsterhood.
I know it's hard to meet a man when you have to be cautious of their motives for courting you. but hey, maybe if you get involved with a charity, I mean really do the work, maybe you'll meet some nice guy who has good values and start your own family.
just saying, nikki, because you can do a lot of good for the world if you try, but so far, you're falling short.
i'll root for you if you at least try to refocus and set a better example for young girls.

Dave Grohl has never hidden his admiration for the Fab Four – and after playing The Beatles'Hey Bulldog during a TV special for the band the Foo Fighters frontman claims he wouldn't even be on stage but for Lennon, Macca and co.
Recently, as the world saw, Ringo Starr joined Paul on stage at the GRAMMYs for a performance of 'Queenie Eye'. PaulMcCartney.com is publishing an exclusive look behind-the-scenes shot at the rehearsals featuring Paul and Ringo practicing 'Queenie Eye'.
Dear Ringo, Congratulations on the 50th anniversary of your appearance with the lads on "The Ed Sullivan Show." I know you're aware of the media din surrounding Sunday night's CBS special commemorating the event.
On Sunday CBS aired a tribute to arguably the most influential rock and roll band of all time, titled The Night That Changed America: A GRAMMY Salute To The Beatles. That night, of course, was February 9, 1964, when the Beatles made their debut appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show.
On a frigid February night 50 years ago, a cavernous sports arena in Washington D.C. became sacred ground. Two days before, the Beatles had performed on the "Ed Sullivan Show," inaugurating one of the most frenzied, hysterical fan phenomena of all time. Then the foursome hopped a train to Washington, D.C., for their first live concert in America.
Today, the Beatles hold an exalted place in the history of rock 'n' roll. But 50 years ago, when they first crossed the Atlantic to perform in the United States, the reaction was decidedly mixed. Here is a sampling of what the critics were saying.
The British Invasion began 50 years ago on Friday, Feb. 7, 1964, when the Beatles landed at New York's Kennedy Airport. Two days later, on Sunday, Feb. 9, more than 70 million people watched as John, Paul, George and Ringo rocked the house – and the world – on "The Ed Sullivan Show"
Guitarist participated as part of house band for "The Night That Changed America," premiering Sunday Just six weeks into the new year, Peter Frampton can say he's already had a pretty good 2014.
Fifty years, ago, when Julian Lennon was just a baby, his father, John, and the rest of the Beatles— Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr—packed their bags and boarded a plane headed for the U.S. There, on Feb. 9, 1964, they would grace the stage of "The Ed Sullivan Show," making them an international music phenomenon.
In 1968, Maurice Hindle sent an ambitious letter to a Beatles fanzine requesting an interview with John Lennon. It was always going to be a long-shot; Hindle was a student at Keele University in Staffordshire County, England, and the Beatles were already the biggest band in the country. You can imagine Hindle's shock, then, when he received a reply from Lennon himself in December, inviting him and his friends to Lennon's home in Surrey.

Economic Development:
The Impact of Budget Cuts on Three Directorates of the National Science Foundation
PAD-82-25: Published: Jan 26, 1982. Publicly Released: Feb 24, 1982.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
In response to a congressional request, GAO evaluated the effect of recent budget cuts on the following three National Science Foundation Directorates: Science and Engineering Education; Biological, Behavioral, and Social Sciences; and Scientific, Technological, and International Affairs.
GAO isolated the areas which would be affected the most by the reduced budget, based on first quarter fiscal year 1982 planned expenditure rates. In the Science and Engineering Education Directorate, all science and engineering education programs would be eliminated with the exception of graduate fellowships. In the Biological, Behavioral, and Social Sciences Directorate, substantial cutbacks would occur in the social, economic, cognitive, and anthropological sciences. In the Scientific, Technological, and International Affairs Directorate, reductions would take place in almost all of the programs. In addition, support to State and local governments would be sharply curtailed, and some programs would be totally eliminated. The three Directorates had not had any reductions in force as of the end of 1981; however, two Directorates had achieved reduction through attrition. As of the beginning of 1982, grant awards in all three Directorates had been affected by the budget cuts, and other planned commitments, such as continuing awards, have been scaled back. GAO based its evaluation on a projected annual funding level, but the actual appropriation, passed in late 1981, provided a larger total funding than the projection. GAO noted that, depending on how this appropriation is allocated, the increased funding will modify the planned reductions of personnel, the funds available for grants, and the impact of reductions in the three Directorates.

One of them, described as an "adze," was exhibited by
The next minute with wonderful skill our visitor had cut some bamboos with a kind of adze he had in the cord round his waist, slit open and cleaned the fish with a sharp-pointed piece of wood, and then got each one stuck on a piece of bamboo to roast before the fire.

... Why can't we use armless outerwear? It's way cooler.
I suppose one could consider "cloak" an umbrella term for all armless outerwear.
Go Nadz! That's it. Was funny seeing even the girls' parents cheering thusly, then sniggering amongst themselves.
"Go Nadz"?
A friend of mine formed and coached a girls recreational softball team in Boise Idaho in the late 1970's and named it the "Nadz"... yes, the cheer was what one would expect. Another phonological oddity.
You're just avoiding my poncho question, aren't you?
Sionnach: Don't try to steal my glory, if I want to italicize half the home page just you try and stop me! My nothing is safe from my infectious html.
A poncho??
*snort* -
If you say so...
Well, strictly speaking, it's only the comments below that comment which appear italicized on the homepage. But I don't see how one can necessarily fault thesaraheffect for what is surely a system glitch.
There's something wrong with thesaraheffect's comment, it's italicizing the whole homepage.
his cloak with hole for the head
Wouldn't this be more accurately described as a poncho then? I mean, I know, it doesn't sound nearly quite as sinister. But still.... -
Across the sea will come Adze-Head,
crazed in the head,
his cloak with hole for the head,
his stick bent in the head.
He will chant impiety
from a table in front of his house;
all his people will answer
'Be it thus, Be it thus.'
--anonymous -
This tool sounds blunt to me. Surely an axe is sharper.
I was always impressed by this word's Scrabble-friendly ability to be spelled adz, which looks even stranger.
A phonological oddity. This is the only base form I can think of that ends in /dz/, and there are no native bases ending in /ts/ (only Johnny-come-latelys like 'kibbutz'), yet it's an impeccably Anglo-Saxon native word.
