Board Members and Executive Director Tour St. Croix Richmond Plant and Propane Facility
Board Members and Executive Director Tour St. Croix Richmond Plant and Propane Facility
As part of an ongoing process in which members of the Governing Board are regularly updated on day to day operations of the Virgin Islands Water and Power Authority, Executive Director Hugo V. Hodge Jr. and personnel from the Authority's Estate Richmond Plant and Vitol conducted a full briefing of the propane conversion project underway in both island districts.
Board members were specifically interested in learning more about the safeguards that had been built in to the propane system to protect not only the public but plant personnel from fuel discharges in the event of an emergency.
"Wednesday was an opportunity for the board to hear directly from the project managers and our contractor, VITOL, about the progress being made to convert the authority's power generators to burn oil, propane and natural gas. The propane conversion project is expected to be completed on St. Croix by mid-march with the St. Thomas power plant scheduled to begin burning propane to generate electricity six weeks later or in late April.
The switch over to propane when completed will represent savings to the authority on the order of about $90 million per year, savings that will be passed on to the ratepayers in the form of lower LEAC charges which represents about 75% of a ratepayer's monthly bill.
Ratepayers began to experience lower rates this month with an even greater savings expected by July when both islands power plants will be utilizing about 100% propane to generate electricity.

WAPA Announces Rate Decrease for January 1, 2015
The Virgin Islands Water and Power Authority (WAPA) announces a rate decrease for the first six months of 2015. The new rate will be 39.19 cents per kilowatt hour, down from the current rate of 48.6 cents per kilowatt hour. The lower charge is due, in part, to WAPA's ongoing propane conversion project, which will begin utilizing the more affordable fuel in the first quarter of 2015, as well as the reduction worldwide in fuel oil prices.
Since signing the initial contract in July 2013, WAPA and its partner and supplier for the project, Vitol, have implemented an aggressive schedule to deliver the benefits of the fuel switch to the Territory and its residents as swiftly as possible. WAPA plans to use propane as its primary fuel source by the Spring of 2015, which will mean a 20% decrease in greenhouse gas emissions and a 30% reduction in the cost of fuel. These fuel cost savings will directly lead to significantly lower power bills for WAPA customers, as we are already seeing with today's announcement.
Commenting on the rate decrease WAPA Executive Director Hugo V. Hodge Jr. said, "We are pleased to pass along these initial cost savings to our customers and look forward to further rate decreases as our propane conversion project becomes fully implemented. Delivering affordable and reliable power to our customers throughout the Territory remains our top priority and this rate reduction exemplifies why WAPA has spearheaded the fuel switch project."
"This is only the beginning," Hodge went on to say, "and on behalf of the Authority, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to All."
Rates are approved by the Public Services Commission of the Virgin Islands
Other benefits of WAPA's switch to propane include:
- Propane is the best near-term option for lowering power generation costs. WAPA customers will realize savings in the fuel cost component of their bills, commonly known as the LEAC.
- As expenditures on electricity drop, many households will have more disposable income to partake in other economic activity.
- Propane will help improve the quality of indoor and outdoor air as it produces less soot and NOX than diesel or oil.
- The use of propane is an excellent complement to renewable sources of power like wind and solar. Developing the ability to use propane is consistent with the USVI Energy Road Map initiative and WAPA's Energy Action Plan.
- The project has been carefully planned to ensure that employee and public health and safety are protected with world class systems and technology.
- Propane will be stored on-site at the power plants in St. Thomas and St. Croix in buried tanks with 100% redundant safety mechanisms.

WAPA Announces Updated Budget for Propane Conversion Project
Anticipated 30% Fuel Cost Savings will Not be Impacted by New Budget
Today the Virgin Islands Water and Power Authority (WAPA) and Vitol, WAPA's partner and supplier for the propane conversion project, announced an updated project budget. The revised budget, for the projects on St. Thomas and St. Croix, does not impact the benefits of the propane conversion for the Territory. WAPA's use of propane is still expected to begin in the first quarter of 2015.
Since signing the initial contract in July 2013 the project partners have implemented an aggressive schedule to deliver the benefits of the propane conversion to the Territory as soon as possible. The project commenced with an initial estimated project budget before the front end engineering and design (FEED) was complete. Following the completion of the FEED, the project leadership anticipated needed adjustments to the budget. The need for the adjustment to the project budget was realized as unforeseen complications arose. These complications have resulted in the need to increase the project budget. The new total project budget is $150 million.
It is important to note, that although the project's costs have increased, customer savings from the switch to propane will not be impacted. WAPA remains committed to maintaining savings for all customers, and fuel costs will still be reduced 30% due to the conversion from fuel oil to propane. These fuel cost savings will be passed along directly to customers.
Commenting on the revised budget WAPA Executive Director Hugo V. Hodge Jr. said, "I want to assure our customers that the adjusted project budget will not impact the amount of savings expected for WAPA customers, or the improvements to air quality that the conversion project will deliver for the territory. We continue to anticipate a 30% reduction in the cost of fuel and a 20% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. While the amortization period will be longer, the economic and environmental benefits will not be forfeited. We continue to look forward with great anticipation to providing these benefits to the community as soon as possible."
The increased cost of the project is being shared by the project partners, WAPA and Vitol. Vitol is still paying all upfront costs and WAPA will now repay Vitol according to a new amortization schedule. WAPA and Vitol had previously agreed to an amortization period of seven years with the option to complete payment in five years. The amortization period has been extended to ten years, with the option to complete payment in seven years.
The primary reasons for the project cost increase are improvements in the scope of the project and the cost of permitting and materials to complete the project. For example, the offshore propane storage vessel will now be held in place using a permanent mooring instead of being anchored in place. This is a safer and more secure way to keep the fuel in place during periods of inclement weather. Another driver of the cost increase was undocumented soil conditions and underground obstacles at the St. Croix site. On St. Thomas the volume of rock needed to be removed from the site was far greater than anticipated. Weather-related delays, maintenance, and clean-up after storms have also impacted the project budget.
Project Background
On July 25, 2013, WAPA signed a contract with Vitol Virgin Islands Corporation to build the infrastructure needed to handle and store propane, and to convert seven of WAPA's existing GE turbines to burn propane. The project is expected to reduce WAPA's fuel cost by approximately 30%, or $90 million annually, which will be realized by ratepayers. The project will also reduce emissions of greenhouse gases by approximately 20% and greatly reduce emissions of particulate matter from both power plants. The preliminary budget estimate for the project was $87 million. That number was determined before final front end engineering and design (FEED) work was completed, and before permitting activities had begun. The project always envisioned adjustments to this number following the FEED process.

Asian shares steady in ranges before U.S., euro zone numbers; U.S. crude stocks seen down on lower imports, falling for third week; Brent looks neutral in $113.14-$114.68 range
August 14, 2012 12:00 by Reuters
Brent futures held steady above $113 on Tuesday as investors awaited GDP data out of two of Europe's powerhouse economies to gauge the region's energy demand outlook, while tensions in the Middle East supported prices.
A steeper than expected drop in growth numbers from France and Germany could boost the dollar, in turn weighing on commodities which are priced in the greenback. On the other hand, intensifying debate in Israel on whether to strike Iran's disputed nuclear programme stoked fears of a military conflict, providing a floor on oil.
Brent crude had slipped 28 cents to $113.32 a barrel by 0409 GMT, after settling 65 cents up at its highest settlement since May 3. U.S. crude gained 5 cents to $92.78, after ending 14 cents lower.
"The immediate impact of the European growth numbers will be on the forex market and oil will react to that," said Ryoma Furumi, a commodities sales manager at Newedge Japan.
"Oil prices are high because of the Israel situation and a lot will depend on how that turns out."
French preliminary second-quarter annual gross domestic product is seen contracting by 0.4 percent after a 0.1 percent rise the previous quarter, while Germany's growth for the same period is forecast at 1.0 percent after growth of 1.7 percent previously.
Investors across markets stayed on the sidelines with Asian shares steadying and the euro holding on to gains, while gold inched up on expectations that further weakness in the global economy could prompt central banks to initiate more measures to stimulate growth.
Apart from European growth numbers, retail sales data due from the United States for July will give an indication on the health of the world's biggest economy. Economists in a Reuters survey expect a 0.3 percent rise compared with a 0.5 percent decrease in June.
"Investors will be looking for a positive retail sales number in July to turn around a succession of weaker months," Ric Spooner, chief market analyst at CMC Markets, said in a note.
Brent will trade between $111 and $115 a barrel unless the situation in the Middle East worsens, while the U.S. benchmark will swing in a $2-a-barrel range, Newedge's Furumi said.
Apart from tensions in the Middle East, a fall in North Sea production of about 17 percent in September from August, mainly due to a drop in Forties crude output may also support the European benchmark.
Analysts at ANZ said in a daily note that Brent may stabilise in a $110-115 range, with the increase in tension in the Middle East or a steeper decline in North Sea output bringing "the $120 technical target into play".
Brent looks neutral in a range of $113.14-$114.68 per barrel, according to Reuters technical analyst Wang Tao, with any escape pointing to future direction. He added that U.S. oil was biased to fall more to its Aug. 10 low of $91.71.
U.S. crude stocks data due later in the day from industry group the American Petroleum Institute (API) should also provide pointers on demand growth in the world's largest oil consumer.
U.S. crude stockpiles were forecast to have fallen by 1.6 million barrels in the week to Aug. 10, declining for a third straight week on lower imports, a preliminary Reuters poll of seven analysts showed on Monday.
The API data will be followed by more closely watched numbers from the U.S. Energy Department on Wednesday.

HIGHWAYS & BYWAYS: Loyal fans don't let little things like diets stand between them and Darlene's Bakery
HENDERSON, Ky. - "You don't have anything for diabetics, do ya?" a customer at Darlene's Bakery in Henderson, Ky., asked owner Darlene Leith.
"No," Leith said with a big laugh. "These are packed with calories and all that good stuff."
Deciding she couldn't cheat, the customer — arms loaded with baked goodies for her family — said, "I'll just open a box and smell 'em."
That customer was one of the rare ones. Its not easy to be good at the bakery as evidenced by a story Leith recounted.
"I made a mistake one time when this lady came in here and I said, 'Yeah, Jack was in yesterday' and she said, 'Oh, he was, was he?' I said, 'Yeah, wasn't he supposed to be?' and she said, 'No. He's supposed to be on a diet.' So whenever Jack comes in, I never tell her he's been here," Leith said. "Its like having an affair."
Wedding and birthday cakes with hand-drawn decorations make up a big portion of the bakery's business, but breads, pies, cookies, doughnuts and, perhaps the most coveted treat, Yum Yums, are made daily.
"We're the old-fashioned bakery. We break our own eggs," Leith said. "They're scratch cakes all the way. Nothing comes in pre-done."
"All of these recipes originally came from Evansville," Leith said. "We've got a lot of people who come from Evansville and sometimes they'll comment 'This place reminds me of a bakery that used to be in Evansville' and I'll say, 'Fresh 'n' Tasty?' and they'll say, 'How'd you know that?'"
The man who sold her the bakery had another one like it in Evansville (long since closed), but sold it due to health problems.
"It was kind of a dream that I had for years," Leith said of owning a bakery. "When I got my first job decorating cakes, I had decorated one cake in my entire life and that was a Mickey Mouse-shaped caked for my 3-year-old son. I swore if I ever finished it I'd never decorate another cake."
"I was workin' in a factory at the time and the lady that was baby-sitting for me showed a picture of that cake to the lady that lived behind her — she managed a deli at an IGA store — and she called me asked me if I wanted a job decorating cakes."
"I said, 'I'm not a cake decorator' and she said 'You're a cake decorator and you just don't know it."
"I'm still standin'," Leith said after her nearly 19 years in business. "I faked it pretty well."

"DOCTORED"- The Movie

"Doctored," The Movie
"Your back pain will require SURGERY"
"Without these pills, you face life-long PAIN"
"Your child's behavior requires MEDICATION"
That's what the doctor tells you, but who tells the doctor what to say?
· Is much of what we "know" about modern medicine just slick marketing from companies that profit when we're in pain (or by putting us in pain)?
· Why aren't we being told about the successes of natural therapies?
· Why do so many people think chiropractors are "quacks," nutritional supplements a waste of money, and acupuncture a fringe therapy?
"Doctored" is an involving, well-crafted, humane look at a topic that stands to affect us all.

The business sector, like all companies, wasn't protected to the economic depression of 2008 along with the resulting recession. Nevertheless, the important indicators of a recovery exist. In accordance with the International Franchise Association (IFA), a majority of the countrys enterprise areas now beginning to reveal increase reflect these areas anticipated to function as the key motorists of job in franchising in 2013. Included in these are foodservice, medical care, food and construction all areas having a high-concentration of business companies.
It is also possible to use resources including shares, bonds, and mutual funds to guarantee a mortgage provided that they are not part of an experienced plan such as an IRA profit sharing strategy. In addition, if you're over-age 59 and possess lots of money cash tied-up in an IRA, you can put it to use for part of your funding demands. Even though you will need to cover taxes to the sum utilized, as well as endure the loss in revenue from curiosity, it is sometimes an excellent funding instrument.
In the event that you are under-age 59 and also your IRA is among your greatest resources, you nevertheless may have the ability to benefit from this path without accumulating the 10 percent fee related to early-withdrawal. By requiring Significant Equivalent Periodic Payments distributed past at least five years, centered on your own endurance, as well as some annuity tables printed by the Internal Revenue Service, it is possible to remove the 10 percent fee, even though the cash continues to be taxable.
Alternatives might be to sign up for a home equity line of credit or a 2nd mortgage in your house. Take care when working with such funding, yet. The home equity line of credit as well as a 2nd mortgage are secured by your property. In the event you-can't refund the amount you fund using this resource, you risk losing your house.
Some franchisors at www.theukfranchisedirectory.net record being contacted by fiscal brokerages–historically more enthusiastic about major offers–to come up with large pools of cash utilizing Small Business Administration and personal funds. These funds will be open to franchisees during the franchisors just like a trust-fund.
Enterprise Plan
Once you have discovered your net worth as well as your credit score, the last measure to consider before approaching lenders is assembling your business model.
In the event you're new to writing a business model, seek professional direction or examine out enterprise strategy training software including Business strategy professional, or BizPlan creator fun.
A well thought out business strategy may make the distinction between getting your application for the loan approved or declined. A whole business program should contain a romantic, specialized research of the organization you want to get into; exact pro formas, forecasts and expense studies; approximations of operating funds; a sign of your "people-skills"; and the right marketing-plan. It also needs to contain qualified claims of your net-worth and a few credit recommendations.
Funding from your Franchisor
Usually, the primary area franchisees change for funding is the franchisor. We discovered fragments of 15-percent, 20-percent and 25 per cent, completely up to 75-percent of the overall debt burden. The franchisors we spoke to stressed these amounts are just recommendations rather than hard-and-fast limitations.
As an alternative of funding the whole startup price, franchisors might provide funding for parts of the total price. Franchisors could have funding strategies for gear, the operation charge, operating expenses or some mixture thereof.
As well as funding a part of the startup price, the franchisor typically has made plans with leasing companies to rent the franchisee the gear essential to to operate the business. This is a substantial portion of the funding, since gear regularly comprises between 25 and 75-percent of a business entire startup prices.
In the event the business you are considering does not offer equipment leasing, appear in to non-franchises, non-bank firms that focus on equipment leasing for businesses. These forms of funding firms may frequently supply property-centered lending to fund franchisees' furniture, equipment, indicators and accessories, and can allow franchise opportunities to buy the gear in the conclusion of the hire. Remember you will lose some tax benefits under the present legislation in the event you let that equipment.
Furthermore , the loans produced by the franchisor could be organized several methods. Some provide loans according to simple-interest, no main, as well as a balloon repayment that is due five or ten years in the future.
Remember that the company is franchised for 2 reasons: to enlarge the company also to increase capital. Therefore, if you've got a fairly good credit report and move all the monetary conditions, most franchisors may bend over backwards to enable you to get to the team. Oftentimes, franchisors function as guarantors of loans-you take away.
Additional resources of Funding
Frequently, banks which can be not ready to work together with you according to your fiscal account become more amenable in case you propose working with the SBA loan guarantee; such loans are guaranteed up to 90-percent by the Small Business Administration. Smaller businesses only distribute financing application to the creditor for first review, and in the event the lending company finds the software acceptable, it forwards the program and its own credit evaluation to the nearest SBA office.
Once you have discovered the degree of funding available in the franchisor, make a functional set of additional accessible resources of capital. Most razor-sharp providers make use of the next series of connections: friends and family members, house mortgages, experts' loans, lender loans, SBA loans and boat finance companies organizations.
The business Business Handles the recession Headon
Want to find out more? IFA President and chief executive officer, David Caldeira provides these tips (thanks to Entrepreneur journal) to wouldbe or existing business owners trying to find an alternate to conventional lending alternatives.
Despite these indexes, funding remains a issue for prospective business owners. In accordance with businessperson journal (Jan 2013), theres nevertheless an 18 per cent financing deficiency in the franchising sector. In an effort to improve business possession, several franchisors are taking matters in their own fingers and providing funding applications of their very own. Meineke, The UPS shop, Golds gymnasium, Masasge jealousy and Immediate Imprints are just a couple of instances of franchisors today providing funding to qualifying first time and multiple-shop operation owners.

The past week was busy at work and with the township, so I was unable to work in the third session. I do continue to try and work in cardio on the off days, but that is still a struggle for me.
I continue to search the best way to balance everything to get more time in to work on cardio and core exercises.
I know the bottom line is that I must adjust my schedule to work in the time if I want to continue on and maintain my weight and control the health issues.
I believe that is a challenge for anyone trying to diet or get in better shape. I know that I just have to make the time and stop making excuses or putting it off until later.

(If any tax is payable it will be calculated and shown at checkout.)
Preview (read now) Add to my own site Give this ebook to a friend Add to my wishlist Author's page Publisher's page
moreDehydrobenzene and Cycloalkynes deals with the problems associated with the production and reactions of dehydrobenzene and of the related fields of dehydroheterocycles and cycloalkynes.
This book also describes the various synthetic applications of dehydrobenzene and provides a list of reactions in which dehydrobenzene occurs as an intermediary. The text explains the generation of dehydrobenzene by cleavage of cyclic systems, by photolytic methods, and by free radical reactions. Nucleophilic and electrophilic monodentate attacks on dehydrobenzene, as well as, bidentate additions to dehydrobenzene yielding cycloadducts. The book also notes that dehydrobenzene is not only a transition state but can be an intermediate of characteristic selectivity and lifetime. The reactions of dehydrobenzene in the gaseous phase affirm that the existence of dehydrobenzene is not restricted to the presence of a solvation shell. The researcher can then study the molecular structure of dehydrobenzene when its existence has been fully established. The text also extends the principle that the dehydroaromatic intermediates can be obtained by abstracting two adjacent hydrogen atoms from an aromatic substrate different from the 1- and 2- positions to arrive at a 1,3- and 1,4-dehydrobenzene.
Researchers and scientists whose works are associated with organic chemistry, analytical chemistry, molecular physics or physical chemistry will find this book valuable. less

Hecekiah McDonald, 13, a seventh-grader, answers a question for Adrienne Hill, a language arts teacher at Romulus Middle School. / March photo by ANDRE J. JACKSON/Detroit Free Press
Second in a series | Part one | Part three
By the end of this school year, teachers at Romulus Middle School could see a big payoff for their work in the last two years: bonuses of up to $1,600 each for raising student test scores, volunteering to tutor kids or developing training sessions for staff.
The incentives are part of a broad approach to improve teaching -- a key focus of the federal School Improvement Grant (SIG) program that has invested more than $4.6 billion into the nation's lowest-performing schools since 2009, including $83 million for 28 Michigan schools in 2010.
• Live chat today at noon: How to improve Michigan's schools
All of the schools must provide financial incentives to teachers. Nineteen of them were required to develop a teacher evaluation system that uses student growth data in a significant way. The remaining schools had to replace half their teaching staffs.
The rules recognize that improving teaching is a crucial part of raising student achievement in struggling schools.
But incentives have been among the most challenging and controversial aspects of the grant program, and experts argue little research shows incentives actually make a difference in student achievement.
For the 28 Michigan SIG schools, it's too early to tell whether the incentives will be successful -- especially since some of the schools receiving grants did not have an evaluation system or incentives fully in place the first year, according to an evaluation commissioned by the Michigan Department of Education (MDE).
The incentives were delayed in many cases by the time involved, and in a few cases because of negotiations between administrators and unions.
Many states have taken years to develop the kind of teacher evaluation systems these schools had to create in a matter of months.
Romulus Superintendent Carl Weiss is guardedly hopeful the incentives will have some impact. To qualify, teachers had to meet five goals related to student achievement. "But I was a classroom teacher for 19 years," he said. "I don't know any teacher that would not deliberately do things that benefit kids because they weren't getting extra money for it."
Open to changes
Teachers say incentives are nice, but the biggest impact of SIG is the focus on improving teaching.
"Our staff was open to change," said Janel Hoskins, a math teacher at Romulus Middle. "It was one of those situations where you know things need to be done differently, but you don't know how. The SIG grant made it clear to us."
State officials said it is essential for Michigan schools to improve teaching.
"We can do lots of things to help support the schools, but if what happens in the classroom doesn't improve, we're not going to see things improve for our kids," said Mark Coscarella, assistant director in the office of education improvement and innovation at the MDE.
At Weston Preparatory Academy, a Detroit charter school, Shana Copeland went from being a traditional classroom teacher to running a language arts lab that supplements the language arts instruction that students receive in their classes.
"It has pushed me outside of my comfort areas, where I've been forced to try different things and do different things because I know our goal is to show success," she said.
Each hour, students with varying reading skills come through Copeland's class. She breaks them into three groups. That means she has to prepare three sets of lesson plans for each group and track assessment results.
"At first it was overwhelming," Copeland said. "It was like a culture shock."
Kathy Allan, Weston SIG coordinator and interim principal, mentors several teachers. She said data about student achievement is becoming increasingly important.
"Because we're rich in data, teachers need assistance in reading that data, identifying what really can be done and how can we really dig deep into that data," Allan said.
Students say they're noticing the changes in teaching.
"I think the teachers are very thoughtful in helping us. They have taught us so much. It feels like we've gotten smarter," said Ariya Williams, 9, a fourth-grader at Weston, which received a $1.8-million grant.
More observation
The new rules mean principals, such as Jason Salhaney of Romulus Middle, are spending more time in the classroom, observing teachers and assessing how well they are meeting goals.
He and vice principal Chris Parker aim to stop in each classroom daily, stay for 15-minute visits every few weeks and observe for a longer period twice a year.
"It's time-consuming, but it's where we know we'll make the biggest impact," Salhaney said.
In Romulus, administrators and a group of teachers started developing a new teacher evaluation system two years before the school became eligible for the SIG.
Teachers must have a professional growth plan, which outlines their goals for improving student achievement. Multiple pieces of data are used to evaluate how much growth students are making under individual teachers and groups of teachers.
"One of the things I feel strongly about is we needed to go away from a checklist approach to something more meaningful and give teachers more voice," Weiss said.
The new system was adopted district-wide, but only the middle school is offering incentives because that is funded through the federal grant.
Teacher evaluations
By the 2013-14 school year, schools statewide must develop systems in which student growth data accounts for 25% of a teacher's evaluation. The percentage rises to 50% in the 2015-16 school year.
Schools receiving SIG money may be a few steps ahead.
Those schools had to choose among four reform models. The transformation model chosen by 74% of schools nationwide requires that teacher evaluations use student growth data.
At Fitzgerald High School in Warren, 10% of a teacher's evaluation is based on student growth, a percentage negotiated with the Fitzgerald Education Association, the local teachers union.
That percentage will change to meet state rules, Superintendent Barbara VanSweden said.
"What we want to do is get better at reviewing the data and determining what we're going to do with it," VanSweden said.
For now, the district is relying on a data analyst -- whose job is supported by SIG funds -- to analyze data from district, department and state exams. The analysis will be used to determine how much growth teachers are seeing and to better design intervention programs for struggling students.
Many SIG schools, including Weston in Detroit, developed their teacher evaluation system around the Charlotte Danielson Framework for Teaching. That system breaks teaching down into four areas: planning and preparation, classroom environment, instruction and professional responsibilities.
Coaches in classrooms
Adrienne Hill, a language arts teacher at Romulus Middle, said SIG has brought a wave of accountability to teachers -- and that's a good thing.
"It's OK to be measured. We measure students all the time," Hill said. "You need that concrete measurement in order to improve. Everyone needs to be able to self-assess."
One of the ways SIG schools are doing that is through intense professional development, which continues well beyond the initial session -- unlike more traditional training.
At Romulus Middle, for instance, those who conduct training then follow teachers into the classroom, providing one-on-one coaching.
"Teachers just aren't trained to have adults come in and give coaching," Weiss said. "But we knew that if we were going to address teaching skills they had to have good coaching and it had to be in an authentic situation, not just sitting in a meeting room and talking about it. I can watch a video on golf, but that doesn't make me a golf player. I have to go out on the course and have someone teach me."

More Details: Incentives
Romulus Middle School teachers can earn up to $1,600 each for meeting these goals:
• Growth of the entire school on the Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) exam.
• Growth of special-education students on the MAP.
• Progress and growth of students who are one or more years behind grade level on the MAP.
• Good attendance.
• Teacher involvement and engagement activities, which includes participation in a school-level committee; informal and unpaid tutoring during lunchtime or preparation time; formal and paid tutoring after school; a professional development session, presentation or training; a parent-engagement activity or academic-based, student-engagement activity.

A Cardinal Whose Mother Died at Auschwitz
Interview With Archbishop Lustiger of Paris
PARIS, FEB. 3, 2005 (Zenit) - On Jan. 21, Cardinal Jean-Marie Lustiger responded to journalists' questions, on the eve of his departure to attend the ceremonies to commemorate the Jan. 27, 1945, liberation of the Nazi death camp Auschwitz.
Q: Eminence, what are your feelings on the eve of your trip?
Cardinal Lustiger: I will express my personal feelings in very simple terms. I went once in my life to Auschwitz, and I never wanted to return there again, because it is a place of death and destruction.
I have no spiritual or human desire to go there. My mother died there, as did 30 or 40 persons, I don't know exactly, of my paternal family.
I am going there because the Pope has asked me, to carry out the mission he has given me. I am not going for personal reasons. I am not a former deportee. I should have and could have been deported. I was a contemporary of that deportation.
That is something concrete, emotional, which I bear, but that doesn't matter much. What matters is that one not be mistaken about the importance of this affair. Over there, I would prefer to be silent about everything else.
Q: What is the state of relations today between Jews and Christians?
Cardinal Lustiger: It has been a long history of reconciliation, since "Nostra Aetate," the conciliar document whose 40th anniversary will be celebrated in October in Rome.
It is a document voted on by the Second Vatican Council on which the present Pope, John Paul II, then archbishop of Krakow, worked on in a precise and particular way, as he did on other important texts of the Council.
He formulated in a new way the relationship of the Jewish people and the Church, of the Church and the Jewish people, marking out the conditions of the dialogue to come.
He did not make a "tabula rasa" [clean slate] of the past, but assumed that past and opened the doors to the future. Karol Wojtyla did not cease to work on the development of relations, and on all the necessary gestures for the purification of the memory, clearly attesting to sincerity.
I add a point that in my opinion is very important. He did not do so in an opportunistic manner. The reconciliation between Christians and Jews goes much deeper than that, into another dimension, because it touches the essence of the Christian faith in its roots.
The issue, in fact, is the very authenticity of the Christian faith. It is what is expressed in a powerful way, not only in an elliptical way as in the Council's text, but by all of John Paul II's teaching over 30 years.
Today, thanks to that, and to the progress made by the Jewish communities, extraordinary prejudices have fallen -- as if, with confidence re-established, there is trust between one another, and the awareness that it is the search for truth that governs us.
Each of us can remain what we are and discover what we have in common, this being no more than the concept of man, anthropology. The constant reference in the Catholic Church is Genesis, which is part of Christian Revelation about man and woman, and the destination of goods.
Jesus himself referred to Genesis' account of the creation of man. It is not a Jewish word taken by Christians or a Christian word heard by Jews as if it were theirs, but it is about the "same" Word. Something, therefore, has changed in the present situation.
A priori confidence has replaced mistrust and rejection -- but also the capacity to say what one thinks without fear of offending or wounding; of discussions between peoples who respect one another; and the awareness that it is about common, ethical, spiritual and religious issues, of which Jews and Christians -- Catholics -- are bearers, not only for themselves as a confessional truth but as a service rendered to the whole of humanity.
To say what one has to say, to witness to that which one must witness to, and to be able to do so together, is the task we have before us.
Q: Has there been too much haste in the reconciliation between Germany and the Jewish community?
Cardinal Lustiger: We see how this normalization is in the process of being implemented -- the chancellor's visit to Israel, etc. A reconciliation that is given, desired on both sides. Why try to limit it?
Q: And the usefulness of trips to Auschwitz?
Cardinal Lustiger: It would be better, given revisionism, to go see what humanity was capable of doing. Father Decourtray, who was a sensitive man, of good faith, intelligent, and cultured, absolutely did not imagine what it entailed. He had an interior shock, and experienced an extraordinary spiritual journey, through the filter of this affair.
Auschwitz is not simply a "museum of horrors," like at ...

This review is from: The Fifth Elephant: Stage Adaptation (Paperback)
The Discworld and its denizens keep moving forward.
In particular, the much-reviled police captain Vimes and the much-honored Duke Vimes move forward. I mean, like a glacier moves forward. Not the fastest one around, I won't even warn you to get out of his way. Glacier-like, it wouldn't matter. Go ahead, get in his way - he might even notice. Probably not.
This time, in his ducal capacity, he has been appointed to an ambassadorship by Lord Vetinari. Vetinari is not a bad man (by local standards, at least) and doesn't do bad things (again, by local standards). Pray that you're nowhere near when he attempts something good. It might be like lighting a candle in the darkness, with you as the match.
Or it might be like lighting the fuze on the powder-keg. Vimes isn't much the candle type. Around him are many people. There's his finishing-school wife who can finish off dwarves and lots of others, six against one, in unarmed debate. There's Officer Angua of the city watch. A very capable woman but watch out for her "monthlies". You know, new moon, howling over the heath, and and all that were-sort-of-thing. Then ... well, Angua is the predictable one. There are lots of others who aren't.
This is a long-running series with lots of character development in previous volumes. Pratchett is uncommonly well tuned to the newcomer, though. Even if the writer knows the two-dozen stories before this one (and a dozen-squared he never wrote), this story still stands well on its own. The newcomer may as well start here as anywhere. The tone is a bit more serious and less haha than most of the Discworld series, but it fits well.
5.0 out of 5 stars Quite Possibly the Best of Discworld,
John Whaley (Forsyth County, GA) - See all my reviews
For those of you who aren't familiar with Terry Pratchett's Discworld series, you have been missing quite a bit. Not only has he managed to keep the humor and overall quality of his writing at a high level through the years, but he manages to get a new book out every eight months or so. A big plus if you follow his work.
The Fifth Elephant is part the "Watch" series within the Discworld collection. It follows the exploits of Commander Vimes(recently promoted to Duke), Captain Carrot, and the rest of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch. This book is the follow-up to "Jingo", and Vimes is currently adjusting to his new role as a nobleman in the city. One of his newly appointed duties is to travel to the neighboring land of Uberwald, where the dwarves are about to crown a new king. Vimes reluctantly agrees to go, despite his general loathing for the nobility in general. The ironic part being that he is now a part of that same nobility, which is a constant source of irritation for him, and a source of amusement for the reader. Of course, this being a Pratchett book, nothing goes according to plan and Vimes finds himself thwarting an assassination plot and uncovering a conspiracy among the dwarf and vampire clans in addition to being forced to "rub elbows" with the werewolves, vampires, and dwarfs of Uberwald.
This is one of the rare books you will read that is as funny as it is well written. For those of you collecting the series, this falls between Jingo and Night Watch and is my personal favorite of the series.

The City Watch books have always been my favourite Discworld books, mainly because of the characters. There's the wonderful character of Vimes, who is head of the Watch. He's cynical but fair-minded, always thinking the worst of things, but doing his best to make the city the best it can be. Then there's Captain Carrot, a human who was raised by dwarfs and considers himself one. Even the incidental characters have wonderful moments. This fifth book in the series is probably the best since the original, "Guards, Guards." It was wonderfully funny with lots of good character bits.
In this book, Commander Vimes (a recent addition to the nobility of the city) is sent to attend the coronation of the new Dwarf "King." Vimes is new to all of this "politics" stuff, as he generally sees himself as a cop first, and a good one. He feels out of his element in this new political arena. Of course, that's why the head of the city, Patrician Vetinari, has sent him on this mission. In going to this coronation, Vimes stumbles upon a plot between a family of werewolves and some of the dwarfs who don't quite like the way society is being liberalized (i.e. dwarfs actually showing that they're female by wearing dresses and jewelry, dwarfs going to the city of Ankh-Morpork to find better lives, etc). They plan to disrupt the coronation, and Vimes finds himself having to stop them.
There are two sub plots in the book, one related, and one seeming to be there just to give some characters something to do. The first one involves Carrot and his girl-wolf, Angua. Angua was supposed to go on this mission with Vimes, but she has disappeared. Carrot enlists the aid of the talking dog, Gaspode, to track her. This plot does end up meeting with the main plot, which is a good thing. Carrot is well portrayed, a combination of innocence, grim determination and genuine (if innocent) caring for Angua. You can see in his actions what he thinks of her, even though he generally can't bring himself to say anything. It's a fairly interesting subplot, especially when it ends up dovetailing with the Vimes plot.
The same can't be said for the second subplot, though. It's clearly there just to give some of the other characters a chore. Sgt. Colon, one of the founding members of the Watch (but by no means the most intelligent), finds himself left in charge with Vimes and Carrot gone. This authority, along with a looming paranoia, start to degrade the Watch. He starts watching everybody with a growing intensity, alienating everybody. This plot has its funny moments and involves some of the other Watch characters (Shoe, the zombie; Visit, the religious fanatic; Nobby, the weird one). However, it can't help but feel like filler. I don't know whether it was intended to add to the page count or if it was supposed to give the other characters something to do. Either way, it feels wasted and tacked on.
Despite that, the book is a great addition to the mythos. It's hilarious, with wonderful character moments (a vampire on AA?) and a great plot. Unlike the previous books, there doesn't appear to be an overall message to the book (Jingo was anti-war, for example), but it doesn't suffer from that. Sometimes, you just have to tell a good story, and this one does. Watching Vimes try to adjust to his new life and mission is worth the price of admission alone. And I would be remiss if I didn't mention Detritus, the main troll in the Watch. He is the best character in the series, no matter how much or little he is in it. He doesn't have a very large part in The Fifth Elephant, but he lights up the scene whenever he's in there.
This is a great book. It also stands alone pretty well. While it is certainly better to read them in order, you won't be missing anything if this is the first one. You don't want to miss it.
5.0 out of 5 stars Good book with excelent re-readability,
Michael Love (Michigan, USA) - See all my reviews
I've owned this book for a while and I recently re-discovered it on my bookshelf and I just could not put it down till I'd re-read it. I certainly think the book deserves a re-read or two.
This is a great Discworld book full of details of discworld.
The watch is back. Trouble in the Uberwald sends Vimes, Cherry and Detritus to the coronation of the new Dwarf King. Meanwhile Carrot and Agnes are having some problems, which leaves Sergeant Colon next in line for promotion to head of the watch....
This is a great story, full of humor, politics and plot twists. So easy to read I picked up the book and I read it without putting it down. It has more of a political tone compared with the watches last outing (Jingo), which was more of an adventure. The fifth elephant expands the disk word by padding out the dwarfs and giving incite to the Uberwald (expect more books from the Uberwald)
It's a good book if your just coming into the disk world books and a Great book if your following the disk world series
5.0 out of 5 stars It is very Pratchetty,
Emilia Palaveeva "ema-in-seattle" (Seattle, WA United States) - See all my reviews
The Fifth Elephant is Practhett at his best. For the uninitiated, the Discworld is a fantasy world, inhabited by all sorts of creatures--dwarfs, vampires, humans, etc, which all have very "human" traits. Pratchett's novels usually focus on one concept/idea which he disects in a very direct, funny way. The Fifth Elephant is about politics, diplomacy and war. Captain Vimes is sent to Uberwald (the country of the dwarves, werewolves and vampires) for the coronation of the dwarf king. He is supposed to be the ambassador of his city, Ankh-Morpork to make sure that the interests of the city and the Patrician are defended. However, someone is trying to sabotage the coronation by stealing a relic with an enormous symbolic meaning for teh dwarves. Vimes has no choice but to go back to his police work and investigate the "mystery"
In a typical Pratchett style, the novel is hilarious, yet quite serios. While Vimes and the guards are recurring character in his novels, new readers will have no problem picking the story up and enjoying it tremendously. It is a good crime novel as well.
And last but not least, it is full of briliant observations including: "He'd noticed that sex bore some resemblance to cookery: It fascinated people, they sometimes bought books full of complicated recipies and interesting pictures, and sometimes when they were really hungry they created vast banquets in their imagination--but at the end of the day they'd settle quite happily for egg and chips, if it was well done and maybe had a slice of tomato."
5.0 out of 5 stars Beyond the Masks of Lies Lie the Truth,
This review is from: Fifth Elephant (Hardcover)
The aford mention title of this review is probably the the closest analogy to Terry Pratchett's "The Fifth Eleplant". This is a commical advanture about the famous Ankh-Morpork's city watch with Vimes, Carrot, Angua, and of course Lady Sybil. Although I have not read some of the newer novels (waiting for the shipping) this is one of the most well developed Guards series of books. The book is enormously humourous, and the character of Vimes is very well developed in this book. In addition, most of the book is about Vimes instead of Carrot and the others. Anyone who find the character of Vimes to be very interesting, then read this book, it is a personal intro that goes deep into the exploration of Vimes. All that is Vimes is revealed here.
As for the storyline, it is typical of pratchett to turn a seemingly simple story of conspiracy, assasination, politics, and fifth elephant into an Epic journey. This is simply a musthave for anyone who is a Pratchett fan.
For those who don't know who Pratchett is, and this is your first book, then buy it. All of Terry Pratchett's book are designed to be read by good readers, and bad readers, by the young and the old, for those looking for a laught and a good story, and those looking for a highly intellectual story. On the backdrop of all of Pratchett's book there is always a few serious issues in human nature and behavior, and he theme his books on those issues brilliantly.

5.0 out of 5 stars The ultimate in Pratchett nonsense,
grahamer "MadManxMan" (Isle of Man) - See all my reviews
On the subject of writing, Terry Pratchett was once quoted as having said "I can't imagine any way one person on his own can have more fun" or something similar to that. He's been writing since he learned how to hold a pen, and has (apparently) never stopped. The Fifth Elephant is one of the classic Pratchett masterpieces. Wholly, completely, utterly, inventively insane, irreverent, witty and satirical, it shows why Pratchett is King of the genre.
If you've not yet introduced yourself to any Pratchett books, let me give you a quick history of Discworld. Pratchett's crazy world is supported by four elephants standing on the back of a giant tortoise. Once there was a fifth elephant, but it fell off the tortoise's back and crashed onto Discworld, leaving behind rich deposits of minerals and fat and the interesting philosophical question: when millions of tons of angry elephant come spinning through the sky, and there is no one to hear it, does it, philosophically speaking, make a noise? And that's about as philosophical as Discworld ever gets..... or is it? Pratchett, in a quiet, humorous way, poses questions about, and satirizes just about any subject you can imagine. Anything from opera to the meaning of life, from local government to religion. (Oh dear, I do hope those reviewers who insist on denouncing J.K.Rowling and Philip Pullman as the anti-christ aren't reading this. They'll be chipping away at Terry Pratchett next!)
When I tell you that the famous Samuel Vimes, commander of the Ankh-Morpork city watch, is sent to represent the city at the crowning of the new Dwarvish Low King, you won't be surprised to learn that Vimes hates politics and has no talent for diplomacy whatsoever. His idea of dealing with a diplomatic incident is to head-butt his way through it. It doesn't help that his assistants are a werewolf, a troll, and a dwarf. Meanwhile, Captain Carrot has fallen in love with Corporal Angua (also a werewolf), and a duplicate of a Dwarven artifact is stolen (a piece of stale bread).
Can't get much more ridiculous, can it! Oh yes it can. Pratchett loves the ridiculous as he gently mocks everything in sight (always with a great knowledge of and fondness for his fellow primates, even in their more foolish moments). Consider yourself well and truly ordered to GO AND BUY THIS BOOK.
5.0 out of 5 stars Vimes Rules!,
Blahblahblah (Melbourne, Australia) - See all my reviews
Pratchett's Disc World series started out as a very silly (and very funny) fantasy series in which the plot did little more than give him a setting for his Pythonesque sense of humour. However, as the series has progressed, his characters have become better developed and so have his storylines. The Rincewind stories still tend to lean towards the earlier, sillier days, but in books like the Fifth Elephant the humour has become more subtle overall (although there is still silliness and laugh-out-loud humour), and has also started to become more satirical, making fun of society and its faults and making brilliant psychological observations. The stories centering around Vimes, captain of the City Guard, have become the best series-within-a-series, especially the scenes in which he interacts with the Patrician, a character straight out of Machiavelli.
As with most Vimes stories, there is a lot of genuine suspense and a great mystery tale although the focus in this book is more on political intrigue. The book is set in Uberwald, a land straight out of old horror movies set in Europe or like the black forests of fairy tales, filled with Vampires, Werewolves and Dwarves (with the usual Pratchett twists). Not only that, but Uberwald is a land without laws where Vimes' position in the Ankh-Morpoork city guard is meaningless. We also get to learn more about Angua's (the female werewolf's) family and history as well as see some developements in her relationship with Captain Carrot.
A brilliant and highly entertaining mix of fantasy, humour, satire and suspense, this book is highly recommended.
5.0 out of 5 stars I loved this book!,
Kurt A. Johnson (North-Central Illinois, USA) - See all my reviews
This is the twenty-fourth book in Terry Pratchett's series on the Discworld--a flat world, supported on the back of four massive elephants riding on the back of a planet-sized turtle, anything hilarious can happen here, and eventually does. When Samuel Vimes, commander of the Ankh-Morpork city watch is sent by Lord Vetinari to represent the city at the crowning of the new Dwarvish Low King, he knows something is afoot. Things begin to unravel when murders begin, a duplicate of a Dwarven artifact is stolen, Sergeant Angua disappears, Captain Carrot quits to search for her, and (worst of all) Sergeant Colon is placed in charge of the Watch. Can Sam Vimes unravel the mysteries surrounding him? And, who should he fear most, the werewolves or the vampires?
Ah, once again Terry Pratchett has reached into the ether, and brought forth another fascinating and hilarious work. As always, Terry is a master of running several storyline concurrently, and bringing the whole story together as a logical whole. I loved this book, and highly recommend it.
