Such a wonderful plan, so glad I found it! The prices are extremely reasonable considering what I would be paying without EDP! I have recommended EDP to quite a few people and I know my daughter and her family have joined.
Carolyn, Dix Hills
EDP suits my needs. I have been a member for over six years and have always found staff to be friendly and informative. I have recommended EDP to several people who have signed up and find it beneficial.
Anita, Holbrook
Perfect customer service each time I've renewed my plan or just when I call with questions. Having the EDP Dental Plan helps greatly with my dental bills/cost… having EDP saved me hundreds!
Jeanie, Port Jeff Station
I have been an EDP member for several years and have found it be extremely worthwhile considering the nominal cost of the program.
Selma, North Babylon
"When I first joined EDP Dental Plan, I was excited about the big discounts, but worried it would be hard to find a dentist I liked. As it turned out, it couldn't have been easier…he was just 10 minutes from my home."
Craig A., Great Neck, NY
"With my old dental coverage, I used to wait weeks for the care I needed…and even longer to get reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses. Thank goodness I found EDP Dental Plan. Now I don't have to wait for anything."
Janice L., East Hampton, NY
"With EDP Dental Plan, I was able to keep my own dentist!

Bolzano, please don't waste your money
FSFE supports open letter from LUGBZ to Province of South Tyrol
Dear Minister Roberto Bizzo,
On 25 May 2010 the regional government authority of
Bolzano decided to spend 2.2 million EUR over the next three years to
renew software licenses from Microsoft Ireland, and to buy additional
licenses. All this was done without a public call for tender, making it
impossible for competing suppliers of similar software to make offers of
their own.
We ask you to rethink this decision. It will influence your strategic position over a much longer time frame than the three years for which the licenses will last.
The European Commission's vice president Neelie Kroes said on June 13 2010 in Brussels:
"Many authorities have found themselves unintentionally locked into proprietary technology for decades. After a certain point that original choice becomes so ingrained that alternatives risk being systematically ignored, no matter what the potential benefits. This is a waste of public money that most public bodies can no longer afford."
With your decision to buy Microsoft Sharepoint and Microsoft Office communication server software without evaluating Free Software alternatives you will increase your organisation's dependence on Microsoft. You will take your IT systems further down the one-way street of proprietary formats and proprietary software, locking in your organisation's own data along with that of the citizens of Bolzano.
You are also running the risk of accusations about the improper handling about procurement processes. The protracted lawsuit against the Swiss Federal Administration, which is still ongoing, provides an example of the possible legal consequences.
The decisions you are making today will have an impact for the years to come. Breaking out of the lock-in will only become more expensive over time, as you risk turning more of your valuable data into digital toxic waste.
Rather than throw good money after bad, we ask you to step back from your deal with Microsoft, and issue a public call for tender open to all suppliers. When making a choice about the future solution for your organisation, we urge you to consider the strategic freedom which Free Software, Open Standards and open file formats provide, rather than deepening your dependence on a single vendor.
You might also wish to investigate the opportunities that such a strategy would provide for local businesses in the province of Bolzano-Bozen, which has successfully turned itself into a Free Software hub.
In the interest of the citizens of Bolzano-Bozen, we urge you to accept the offer of a dialogue extended to you by local Free Software experts at the GNU/Linux User Group Bolzano (LUGBZ) and the Free Software Foundation Europe. We stand ready to advise you on your strategic options in software procurement, and discuss the opportunities afforded by Free Software and Open Standards.
Karsten Gerloff

Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools is putting the final touches on a performance-pay proposal that will be sent to state officials by March 1. On Thursday, there's a public meeting from 4:30 to 6 p.m. at River Gate Elementary, 15340 Smith Road, for people to get an update, ask questions and make comments.
It's not clear to me how much detail will be disclosed about the work in progress. The CMS announcement talks about getting input on a compensation proposal, but when I tried to get a copy of the draft proposal Chief Operating Officer Millard House answered that "a plan does not yet exist, there are only ideas so we are unable to fulfill this request." There's a Power Point presentation that was shown at a public meeting on the compensation proposal last week, which I missed, and House says a plan will be made public on Feb. 26.
We know the state's Race to the Top proposal, which won a four-year federal grant of almost $400 million, calls for using student gains on test scores to help rate teacher effectiveness. And we know state and CMS leaders are talking about using other measures as well, such as student surveys and classroom observations. Still to be seen is how CMS proposes to link this kind of evaluation to pay -- and where the money might come from.
Plans created by CMS and other participating school districts will go from the state Board of Education through the state's Fiscal Research Division and various legislative groups. I haven't been able to track down a clear answer about next steps, but it sounds like we're still quite a ways from changing the way teachers are paid.
The group that has been working on a CMS proposal since last fall is made up of teachers and principals, including representatives of such groups at the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Association of Educators and the Classroom Teachers Association. This group has been described as one of the 22 task forces Superintendent Heath Morrison announced in November, but it's not listed on the rosters released earlier this month. That's because CMS plans to expand the task force in March to build on the work of the current group.
"The second phase focuses on the larger compensation piece that will be centered around how we pay ALL of our employees," House explained. "This will include employees from other departments in the district, licensed employees from our schools (including teachers that were involved in phase one of this work), at least one student and community members that were recommended by our leadership or those community members who expressed an interest in this work. The work from phase 1 will inform part of the second phase of this work."

CMS performance pay: Plan is coming

This is great! Now we can use all the money we spent on these worthless CMS teachers to buy back guns!!
CMS teachers are worthless and should all be fired. CMS should be closed.

7:52 would you mind clarifying your comment about "CMS teachers are worthless and should all be fired"?
I used to teach in CMS and sure, there are *SOME* who were not worth their pay, but not all - not by a longshot! Worthless??? Do you know how many of these "worthless" teachers regulary work 10-12 hour days? Do you know how many of these "worthless" teachers selflessly give their time to tutor students without any other compensation?
CMS teachers are some of the most dedicated people you will ever meet should you ever decide to use reasoning. What do you base this on? ALL of them are worthless????
Ok, I'm game.....let's look into your proposal that "...all should be fired" Let's say that you get your way and all of those horrible people are shown the door. Out out out you monsters!
Now that 9,221 teachers are gone (CMS Fast Facts on their website) whatever shall be done to replace them? Where will we find 9,221 people interested in filling these now-vacant positions? I assure you that despite the surplus of teachers up north, it won't be easy nor are there enough new graduates, Teach for America, and Teach Charlotte people.
Also, once word gets out that there was a mass-firing, do you think that will be attractive to an aspiring teacher? Will that entice a teacher elsewhere to come to CMS?
I notice you didn't mention anything about administrators who are worthless. Believe me, that is one of the reasons I no longer teach in CMS. What about the worthless parents? What about the kids who can't/wont behave/learn?
No, blame the teachers. You are a real genius and oh how sarcastic I am!!! - January 29, 2013 at 8:49 AM
- Jeff Wise said...
I'll be curious if CMS' plan, or whatever the state cobbles together has any out clauses in it?
Meaning, 5-10 years from now when it's fully realized that performance pay measures have no effect on consistently raising test scores (let alone achievement), then what? - January 29, 2013 at 10:01 AM

Mr. Wise, in response to your question (Then what?): the "leaders" will not admit that they were wrong all along and will then impose some new, expensive, and equally-ineffective boondoggle. Repeat process.

I think 7:52 is a classic "trying to tick people off" comment. I'd suggest folks not spend a lot of energy arguing whether to close CMS and fire all teachers; there's a lot of room for meaningful discussion of how to move ahead with compensation.

How can you rate teachers pay when you just dump 30 kids in their laps? Blame race , Blame the state heck then blame the County. Listen Heath , dont blame the teachers for the sorry state of CMS. Go outside your little office with your nice suit and point fingers at the downtown suits. Most of your teachers cannot even control the climate in the classrooms let alone the grads coming out of them.

Ann, you are right! I would like to see how us teachers can be expected to challenge students and be held accountable for their "performance" when we can't even assign a grade lower than a 50%. Even if the student does absolutely no work, the student gets a 50%. It doesn't take the kids long to figure this one out. And yet, we are going to be paid for "performance" when the kids themselves don't truly have to perfom and still get something for nothing.
Ann, why won't the Observer ever do a hard-hitting expose on this travesty? Why do you and the rest of the paper seem to always place nice with CMS? This is a MAJOR issue and a cause of a lot of discontent. This is something that can really get the public talking as well as it being good for circulation.
I am sorry Ann if this bothers you but the truth is, a lot of people feel that you treat CMS with "kid gloves" and are too accomodating. Sorry, but that is how a lot of people feel. - January 29, 2013 at 10:39 AM

How do you create incentives for people when the legislature will not allocate any more money?
- January 29, 2013 at 10:55 AM

I think most teachers would love an performance pay system. Unfortunately the devil is in the details. It is hard to figure out how to base pay on test scores. There are a lot of variables involved. It is also hard to come up with a performance based system that doesn't punish teachers for teaching in low income schools. The idea of student surveys is interesting but did most people truly like their best teacher? Often times the most demanding teachers are disliked by students until they get older and realized how much they taught them. The teacher evaluation instrument is now incredibly complicated and tedious. I hope my pay never depends upon the use of that instrument alone. I think most teachers would be very open to performance pay as long as it didn't crush their current economic standing. If test scores are the only variable used then good luck getting good candidates for teaching jobs much less keeping good teachers in low income schools.

10:39, I am not at all bothered by criticism, especially when it's focused on a valid topic and politely written, as yours is. I asked Heath Morrison about the 50 percent policy shortly after he started; he said he and Ann Clark were going to review whether that should be a districtwide policy. This is a good reminder that I need to follow up.
I think the 50 percent policy is a valid issue to question, but I don't think it would affect a compensation plan. All the talk I've heard has been focused on end-of-year test scores, rather than classroom grades. - January 29, 2013 at 11:15 AM

This PFP junk has been batted around more than a Sammy Sosa steriod needle. ITS NOT HAPPENING anytime soon folks. As many have stated how do you even get a teacher to work in a under performing school if its based on motivating kids? Is LIFT exempt? You have over loaded the class room size as it is now you want quality to come out of it? IN NO WAY does that equation work Heath. Put that in your RENO pipe and smoke it.

10:39 AM is absolutely correct, Ann. Why don't you do a little more digging, why don't you point out all the accommodations made for one, I repeat, ONE, demographic. Then point out all the trillions of dollars spent on that ONE demographic since the mid 60s and what little we have to show for it. Point out that ONE demographic continually fails, continually lags behind every other group in test scores, grades, intelligence, etc. They lag behind in every single measurable category that schools are charged with providing. Yet they can always be counted on to be at the top of the charts when it comes to assaults, violent acts, truancy, tardiness, expulsions, etc. Alas however, the Wizard has arrived! Glenn Singleton is going to be brought on board to work his magic. His solution to all of this is to re-program, and single out yet another demographic; The evil that is not only responsible for all that ails CMS, but responsible for the continued failure of black students – White Teachers! He will single-handedly reverse black test scores, truancy, and violence by teaching teachers to no longer think white, no longer teach white, no longer act white, no longer see, think, or even breath white. That is indeed the answer! God-forbid anyone would turn a finger towards the root of the real problem when it's so easy to blame others. I'll wager you anything you like that this Singleton clown will leave town, after collecting half a million in salary over four years, having had no significant positive increase whatsoever amongst the demographic he is here to help.

Gee, let's pay doctors according to how many of their patients get well. It shouldn't depend on whether or not the patient takes their meds, follows doctors' orders, or stepts out in front of a truck. Just on how many get well despits all other factors. And if a patient dies....well, forget it!

Ann, may I suggest that you do an article about it? Please let the public be made aware of the issue. Sure, ask Dr. Morrison and/or Ann Clark for their perspective and justification for it as well as people who would be opposed to it. You can ask teachers but few, if any, would go on record. This is something that needs to be on the front page. You could even ask the obvious: how does this help students? Interview HR people at some of Charlotte's major employers for their perspective and ask how this nonsense would prepare anyone for the working world?
I feel that this would indeed affect performance, especially at low income schools where parental involvement is a serious concern. Students whose parents are involved in their education would, of course, not tolerate their children slacking off. Teachers who are in schools where this kind of student is the norm would have a distinct advantage over schools filled with apathetic students and parents.
As one person (10:58) already stated, good luck attracting (let alone KEEPING) quality teachers at challenging schools. - January 29, 2013 at 11:34 AM

Bit of resemblance there I would say and comments are right on. - January 29, 2013 at 12:59 PM

I'm not going to comment on the content of that Pundit House blog, but the physical resemblance made me laugh.
11:34 a.m., I'll write about the 50 percent rule when I get something solid (I blogged about it before). But I anticipate exactly the challenge you cite: It may be hard to find a teacher to go on record opposing an official policy. Doesn't mean I won't try to get teacher views, though. - January 29, 2013 at 1:21 PM

You all should think about why we quit, and never return to teaching again.

It is appalling to try and base pay on test scores of children who want to fail. There can be no teaching until there is order. Right now, we cannot maintain order in our classrooms thanks to the principals and the corrupted county office.

11:23a - Pay For Performance is one of the mandates of Race To the Top, the state pretty much has to put in place some kind of compensation plan that incorporates performance.
While I agree a lot of teachers will probably end up outraged at whatever plan is finalized, I doubt very many will end up quitting, not because they need the job but because they want to teach regardless.
Ann, if I may be so bold as to suggest an idea (or maybe it's already been done), I'd like to know what the various state leaders opinions are about education and education reform. I sort of know what Governor McCrory thinks and Rep. Samuelson's opinion is pretty obvious (Rep. Cotham's too), but what about some of the other power brokers that'll be shaping this legislation? - January 29, 2013 at 1:39 PM

Ann, if you are there at these discussions and are allowed to ask questions, here'e one...many, many former excellent teachers work at CMS in other capacities such as teaching teachers how to do a better job. Does everyone know that most of these people are still paid teachers' wages? So then, how will they get pay for performance since they are no longer in the classroom?

As a teacher, lifelong Charlottean, and CMS product, I am appalled that CMS would continue this path toward pay-for-performance. Regardless of what's said, educating these kids is not a business. Schools are special places. We should not be forcing a business model in a top-down fashion, which then creates a "Catch 22" situation for the teacher and leaves too many gaps for biased evaluations and changing rules. We dedicate our lives to helping children of all backgrounds, even the ones that don't want it or know how to accept it. Do we get to choose our students, or do we get to hold parents accountable for the lack of parenting to prepare them for school? Those are key questions this plan, nor CMS for that matter, care to address.

Jeff, you make me pine for the days when I could have asked Eric Frazier to hold down the home front and gone to Raleigh for a week. I also wish Sunday's legislative preview had included education. What I will do is stay in close touch with the Raleigh N&O crew and Jim Morrill to try to make sure we can keep readers up to date on legislative issues related to education.

And yes folks, this public meeting on Thursday is strategically not centrally-located for CMS' benefit to dissuade high attendance.

JOKE is RIGHT!
Pay me what you already owe me first:
ABC Bonus Money

Dental Insurance
Vision Insurance
COLA Adjustments (STEPS) / Pension
Jeff Wise hit it on the head. It is all about the Federal Race to the Top MONEY! Morrison and the BOE do not care about Teachers and Students. All they care about is getting their greedy paws on this money. All these surveys and tests are smoke and mirrors or the proverbial dog and poney show to justify the top administrator jobs.
You wont have to "fire all the teachers". It wont be much longer until most will leave on their own or God forbid, STRIKE - January 29, 2013 at 4:30 PM

Teachers do not have collective bargaining in a Right to Work state such as NC. It would be very interesting however if say half (5,00) called in sick one day.

Mr. Yamo, let me address a few of the issues you raise.
First, I am glad CMS is NOT holding this meeting uptown or in one of the urban schools. I have attended meetings in these areas and had my kids in some of these schools. I will not venture out to these areas anymore. These areas are not what they used to be even 10 years ago. I went to a set of meetings at Vance HS recently which I thought would be a safer location due to being in Research Park but i was mistaken. Several cars were broken into and several "shady" looking characters were just milling about.
Second, as for your pay being frozen, there are two parts to that one. One, I in a private sector job still have my pay frozen and my medical and other costs continue to rise. Additionally, I have ot pay for parking now uptown where once I enjoyed this as a seniority perk. All that has ended in my pocketbook. So why should not teachers and other government employees not have to endure the same thing. But i know, some government officals make sure they are not subject to the ills the rest of us have to suffer. The second part of this comes with your teachers' associations with state government. They are so in the pocket of Democrats, the Democrats can abuse them and get away with it. And as for your environment under Republicans, you are so in the pocket of democrats, you are on the short end of the stick for awhile.
Lastly, you say school is not a business. While I somewhat agree with you there, it is supposed to turn out "educated" students. Business leaders still grumble about the shortcomings of CMS graduates. We also saw where 1200 of the 1600 applicants to CPCC 2 years ago were required top take remedial courses before they could earn college credit. You may point to NCLB testing requirements. However you forget that NC started the ABC testing before NCLB came along. NCLB did not require more testing. It just required subgroup reporting, which NC ABC already did and put in a mechanism for failing school remediation. Taxpayers had to pay for extra tutoring for students in certain schools, which CMS never could fill all the available dollar volume, and then if that did not work, students could transfer out to other schools.
Public education in the US headed in a death spiral all due in my opinion is the ever increasing federal intervention. Gov Bev sold you teachers out for the all the federal money she could. Remember that. The public refuses to accept the fact the feds do horrible thing for the ethical person. For example, since Gov Bev took the federal loan to pay NC unemployment insurance but now, you can apply for a job, get hired and not report for your first day and draw unemployment insurance. The legal rebuttal employers now face does not allow them to submit evidence that the person is already working somewhere else.
Get the feds out of public education. Let some business, education, and civic leaders revamp public education without regards to diversity, you will have something. - January 29, 2013 at 6:20 PM

Missouri, I work uptown and frequently visit "urban" schools. I've never found either setting scary. Not saying bad things can't happen, but I've never had a problem or felt threatened at any school, including those where I attend night meetings.

To the individual stating all CMS teachers are "Worthless". We are so much more than worthless. Doctor, Nurse, Psychiatrist, Mom, Dad, Mediator, oh yeah and a teacher.So worthless you say. You wouldn't last 30 minutes in the classroom without the teacher in their to hold your hand and help you SURVIVE!

Feb. 1 teachers wil be able to see their value added scores in McRel . The scores are based on any history of testing that teacher may have. 70% from their scores 30% from the schools scores. Staff that does not have scores from state tests will be value added scores based on OVERALL SCHOOL SCORES..... WOW that sounds fair.... What a joke. Standardized tests will be given to kindergarten students YEP A B C OR D to a 6 year old to measure the value of the teacher....... Give any 6 year 4 choices and they get confused let alone a test for content.... What a joke........meanwhile the COMMON CORE standards are grounded in the idea that Multiple choice tests can not be used to measure student knowledge..... WTF?

Here's just one example which brings to light the inherent difficulties with any so-called pay for performance plan: an administrator at my former school routinely issued devastating teacher evaluations to anyone who was not her "sister" or her "girl". Her primary goal, it seemed, was to drive out of the school (if not out of the profession entirely), any teacher who did not share her complexion.
At the same time she was doing this, she herself apparently did no other work whatsoever except to lock herself in her office to work on an advanced degree during school hours.
Who had the guts to call her out on this? Absolutely no one. Her race effectively insulated her from any consequence, and likely still does. I don't see any "courageous conversations" about race in this woman's future, only her now having the additional boon of a financial instrument with which to batter teachers who happen to be the wrong color. - January 29, 2013 at 7:39 PM

Race biased expert?
I thought we got the "Klan" out of school along time ago. In the 60's the CMS black population was a minority and had inadequate funding.Today they are the majority and the Focus Schools receive 3x the funding. Everything has changed in favor of this race except the RESULTS.
Someone have the courage to ask why and stop trying to blame White teachers. - January 29, 2013 at 7:53 PM

7:39, this is where it is all headed. This is why many are trying to get her effect on evaluations minimized. They know it is going on. They know who the culprits are. But just like in the days of Affirmative Action, they are untouchable.
Ann, as far as safety at these schools are concerned, I am all too well aware of the differences when I worked late hours at several of these in the 1990's and early 2000's and what I see now. I just know what to look for and to be on the defensive for. I'd advise you to watch out a little closer but I am sure the administration knows when you come on campus and usually it is times when meetings that include downtown personnel so security is usually pretty apparent to scare off these lowlifes. Can you imagine what they'd face if a reporter got attacked? Wow! - January 29, 2013 at 8:16 PM

As a current CMS employee with 13 years of teaching in the classroom, Pay for Performance definitely creates anxiety. However as a teacher in a high poverty/high minority school, I have a better chance of making the performance goals since they are based on student growth. In my opinion, teachers in already high performing schools have the biggest challenge because it is hard to show growth when your scores are already 90% or above. Maybe all the teachers will begin flocking to low performing schools with the feeling of "you can only go up from here!"
Secondly, a quick comment on the grading scale. I teach in an elementary school and the grades A-D use a seven point scale 93-100 is an A, 86-92 is a B etc. An F has a 69 point grade scale...any score 0-69 is considered failing. My point of giving nothing below a 50 is based on a student being able to recover. If they make a few mistakes at the beginning of the quarter, a grade of a zero is very hard to recover from as opposed to a 50. They are both considered failing and result in an "F", but a 50 average might motivate a child to work toward a 70. Just my personal opinion working with elementary kids.
And finally, a funny story about student surveys. We were a pilot school for them last year. One of the questions was, "Does your teacher push you to do your best?" Almost all of the students replied, "No my teacher would never push me...she is nice to me and wouldn't want to hurt me!" Pushing to a 7 year old is a mean thing no matter how effective the teacher is! - January 29, 2013 at 8:19 PM

Yamo - the first meeting was at East Meck last week. Why weren't you there? I was.
8:19 - funny thing: if a kid does his/her work then they shouldn't earn a score of zero, should they? Stop enabling those kids and make them work. Yes enabling...I get them in middle school and have to undo the harm you have done in your quest to help.
Missouri - be careful talking about which you do not fully understand in reference to teacher teachers organizations. Are school supposed to turn out "educated" students or provide the students with rich opportunities to learn and grow? If the student does not put in the time and effort to be successful that is on me? Yeah okay buddy. - January 29, 2013 at 8:43 PM

As a former CMS teacher, I didn't like having my pay frozen for five years, but I understood the logic considering the economic climate. However, I became frustrated at doing more for the same pay. Since the pay freeze, school days were longer, work days were fewer and the increase in testing took away teaching time. For example, in the private sector, if you're required to receive training on a new product from a vendor, and you no longer get paid for it, you would object to it.
All of the reforms being pushed today have no scientific basis. It is "research" produced by think tanks by non-educators financed by a handful of "philanthropists" attempting to cash in on federal education funding. A poster said there are plenty of teachers represented on this blog, but that's all we have; we don't have the power, time and money to compete with Gates and Broad.
Regarding NCLB, it required annual testing among other things (not just subgroup reporting). Even though NC already EOGs in place, it created a climate of accountability using poor assessments such as multiple choice tests. NCLB is based on a fraud (google the "Texas Miracle") and should have never been implemented. - January 29, 2013 at 8:56 PM

Sorry Anonymous about not going to the E. Meck mtg., I was working the parking lot from 3:30-8 pm on the two coldest nights of the winter without pay while our school hosted a basketball tourney. As for Missouri, since you seem to know me well with all the "yous" & such, I have one question: are you a teacher or an administrator?

In addition Missouri, I did not mention pay being frozen. But, if you want to discuss the issue, how about mentioning the State legislature has violated past and present State law that constructs the teacher pay scale in steps based on years of service and educational attainment. Sure, no one expects a "raise", but we have the right to our steps. I would suggest not painting broad strokes of viewpoints on all of us teachers.

Is NC still going ahead with the plan to rank all public schools from A - F this year?
I'm trying to imagine NC ranking it's public universities from A - F. Or, ranking all NC university education departments from A - F. Maybe NC should rank college education professors from A - F and pay each on a P-f-P scale? Which NC colleges and universities produce the best teachers (public and private)? Which colleges and universities have the highest Praxis 2 exam pass rates? Which NC colleges and universities are the most effective at producing teachers able to close the achievement gap? How will TFA teachers be paid on a P-f-P scale? What happens if a teacher produces remarkable gains one year, is transferred, and isn't as effective the following year at a different school?

On the page about the focus groups (http://www.cms.k12.nc.us/News/Pages/Focusgroupswilladdresscompensationdesign.aspx) it talks about "Battelle for Kids". This group sent out a survey to CMS teachers before/over Winter Break. It was about "strategic compensation." The survey questions were very leading. I would suspect that the results from the questions "show" that CMS teachers "support" strategic compensation when they in fact DO NOT. Especially since they haven't been told what it will exactly look like!

8:43, you are right, it is not on you these days. Our society/federal government has taught these kids not to worry about anything. There is no right or wrong. The only unethical people and immoral people are those that live to some code that naturally enables them to be successful but it is immoral for them to impose that code on you.
If you've never followed my posting before, you know one of my favorites is "you can lead a horse to water but you cannot make it drink", and an African proverb "he who is carried on another's back does not appreciate how far off the town is".
As for NCLB, while most people want to lay all the heap on GWB and Ron Page, Teddy Kennedy had a heavy hand in it. His parts about subgroup reporting and remediation efforts at failing schools, including closing them, came from him so the Democrats would be on board with passing it. - January 29, 2013 at 9:48 PM

Teachers unions hate pay for performance. The unions want a continuation.of tenure and job security that is unheard of in other sectors of the economy. The CMS board of education is dominated by retired union members and the former local union boss herself. Heath knows who writes his pay checks and approves his decisions and there is no way he will let pay for performance happen unless it is mandated at the state level. Sure CMS will continue to pay lip service to this idea as it has for several years now. But it's not going to happen without a state mandate.

Monday 9th November 2009 marked 20 years of German re-unification. I remember, like it was only yesterday, watching The Wall come down back in 1989. I was in Doha watching CNN with my parents and friends and thinking "WOW! They do not have to queue for bananas anymore!"
Ok before I get stoned with those bananas for that comment let me say this - at the time I had a very ignorant opinion of Germany and Germans. It was actually very unlike me to fall into the cliché trap of prejudices, because I stubbornly believed (and still do) that all types of discrimination is venom for the heart, mind and soul. I was 17 back then and although I had my beliefs, I had also extensively read about the history of Germany causing me to warp some of my beliefs. I am a free spirit and just the thought of being trapped, stripped away from my freedom makes my skin turn. Then you hear the stories that make you shudder and the media adds potent input to feed your imagination - the rest you rhyme together.
Maybe my first thought should have been "WOW! They are free!" but it wasn't. It was the bananas that symbolized simple freedom so taken for granted by those who have it. Just like bananas, which are readily available to me each day. But seeing those people standing on top of The Wall on that night back in 1989, I felt elated for them - knowing that they could have the pleasure of taking bananas for granted from now on.
Never would I have even imagined that 20 years later I would be living in what used to be a part of the former DDR, married to a man who was born and brought up in such an environment. I've been together with Tom for 11 of these 20 years and love hearing the stories - yes many of them are true and I am always left incredibly baffled by them - but while they love their freedom and would never go back to living under such political situation, Tom's family's stories have taught me one thing. Appreciation. That is a quality I love about Tom - he has the ability to appreciate the fine and small things. He will first look how he can solve a problem himself before calling in the reserves. I, who had everything readily available to her, on the other hand sometimes overlook the smaller things in life and will pick up the phone to get the job done by someone else.
In several points we are very different - no two people could have been brought up so diversely. While I traveled the world with my parents, living in several countries and learning about new cultures, freedom and the people of the world, Tom was confined behind the walls of the DDR, learning about communism and the people who glorified it. But it was the fall of The Wall that brought both of our worlds together. Although our upbringing has shaped each of us differently, which at times does cause its problems, we still have a common factor we share - our love of freedom.
I came to appreciate quince a few years back here in Germany. It was a fruit unknown to me and when my friend's mother dumped a bag full in her kitchen, my friend rolled her eyes and said "not more quince!" She looked at me and handed me the bag. Looking back now - I presume that quinces were their bananas! Not for me - ever since then I adore quince and wait fairly impatiently for the season to begin. I love the fact that quince can be used in sweet and savory dishes and this season I have been really been going wild.
The quince belongs to the pome fruit family and is a distant relative of the apple and pear. Quince is one of the earliest known fruits to man with quince trees growing in several parts of Asia and the Mediterranean over 4,000 years ago. Today, quince is also found in Latin America, the Middle East, and the United States. In the United States and parts of Europe the quince is somewhat different from those found in Western Asia and tropical countries, where the fruit is softer and juicer. In colder climates, quince has a fine, handsome shape, a rich golden yellow color when ripe and a bold fragrance, some consider it to be heavy and overpowering.
Raw, the rind of the quince is rough and woolly with a hard and unpalatable flesh. Taste-wise it is acidulous and astringent. In hotter countries however, the woolly rind disappears and the fruit can be eaten raw. Quince is rarely used in its raw form in Western countries and therefore the hard and dry flesh of the quince turns light pink to purple, becoming softer and sweeter when it is cooked. Due to the astringent and tart flavor, quinces are often made into preserves and jellies. When cooked, quince often tastes like a cross between an apple and a pear and sometimes has the aroma of a tropical fruit.
The fragrant quinces are available from September through to January, so you have plenty of time to experiment with these delicious fruits.
Health Benefits
Quinces are an excellent source of Vitamin A, fiber, and iron. They also contain a high level of pectin just as other fruits in the pome family. Being rich in dietary fiber, quince is good for the people who are trying to lose weight. Quince also boasts of high antioxidant properties, which helps the body fight against free radicals and reduces the risk of cancer. Consuming quinces regularly not only aids in digestion, but also helps lower cholesterol. Vitamin C present in quince helps reduce the risk of heart disease in individuals. So make sure you indulge in plenty of quinces this season to get the maximum of its health benefits. Preserve them to enjoy them further after the season.
Selecting and Storing
Select fruit that are large, firm, and yellow with little or no green patches. Quinces should be picked when completely yellow and firm. Be sure to handle them carefully as they bruise easily.
The best way to store quinces is to wrap them in a plastic bag and refrigerate them, where they should last for up to 2 months.
Due to their high pectin content, they are popular for use in jams, jellies, and preserves. Since quince hold their shape, they are ideal for poaching, stewing, or baking as a dessert. But there are other way and ideas to use quinces. You could simply substitute a recipe which uses pears or apples with quince instead or serve cooked quince in your fruit compotes.
In this recipe I have prepared the jam in a very different method. Last year I got a recipe for plum jam from Tom's grandmother, which required the jam to cook for two hours over the stove top. I basically stuck to that idea but as I wanted to be busy doing my yoga and a few other things I decided to allow the quince jam to simmer in the oven for the two hours, where I had to keep an eye on it a lot less. It proved to be an ingenious plan and the result was an intensely caramelized and gorgeously thick quince jam that perfumed the entire house with it's cinnamon-y aromas.
Caramelized Quince Jam with a Sprinkling of Cinnamon
Printable version of recipe here.
2 kg quince, washed, peeled, cored and cut into cubes.
350 ml apple cider
4 tablespoons apple vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons cinnamon, ground
250g Muscovado sugar or substitute with blond cane sugarMethod
- Pre-heat oven to 170 - 180 degrees C.
- Place quince cubes in a large pot and fill with apple cider. Covered, allow it to simmer for approx. 30-40 minutes until the quince is soft, occasionally stirring. Using a pureeing machine finely puree until smooth.
- Stir in the cinnamon, apple vinegar and sugar. If the pot you are using can be placed in the oven, then wipe down the sides with some kitchen paper, otherwise transfer the mixture into an oven-proof bowl.
- Place the bowl on a baking tray and allow to cook in the oven for 2 hours, until the mixture has caramelized, is very thick and a deep orange color.
- Allow to cool then, pour the thick jam in sterilized jars. Seal and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 to 3 months.

Or even better serve some of this with a cheese platter at your next dinner party. It'll be hard to resist not spooning it straight out of the jar and into your mouths though because that fantastic caramel-y and cinnamon-y flavor will have you weak.

A year after an embarrassing match-fixing scandal at the London Olympics, badminton is back in the news for being unexpectedly badass.
As the Vancouver Sun reports, former Olympic doubles partners Bodin Issara and Maneepong Jongjit of Thailand got into a racket-swinging, fist-pounding, shirt-ripping brawl Sunday during the final men's doubles match at the Canada Open.
Issara and Jongjit played on opposing doubles teams in the tournament after what now seems to be a bad breakup after the Olympics. Each blamed the other for taunting behavior during the match, according to the Bangkok Post.
Jongjit "told reporters on Monday that [Issara] started the fight and also gave him the middle finger," the Post reports, adding that Issara's teammate said it was Jongjit "who first raised the finger as the teams switched to the opposite sides of the court" in the middle of the match.
It didn't stop with fingers. Jongjit allegedly hit Issara with his racket, again according to Jongjit's new doubles partner. YouTube video and a series of photos posted by the Sun show what happened next. Issara chased Jongjit off the course, grabbed and tore his former partner's shirt, threw him to the ground and pummeled Jongjit with clenched fists.
Coaches and tournament staff rushed in to separate the two.
Charoen Wattanasin, the president of the Badminton Association of Thailand, told the Post, "I've been in the badminton circle for 58 years and I've never seen anything like this. This is very bad."
The Badminton World Federation issued an understatement. "The Men's Doubles final ended in unusual circumstances," the group said in a news release, which also noted that both were disqualified from the match. "The events surrounding the conclusion of this match will be thoroughly investigated by the BWF."
Issara appeared on Thai television station Channel 3 Monday to apologize. With his left ear bandaged, Issara said, "I was hit in the ear by a racket, [so hard that] it bled and was ripped. This resulted in me losing my temper," according to the Post's translation of the interview.
"I apologize to all Thai people for bringing disgrace on the country," Issara reportedly said. "I take all the blame and I would like this issue to end here."

...Organic Sunless Tanner
Stopping here first was a good call.
We used to enclose a printed version of this booklet with our tanner but we continually get suggestions and recommendations from the hundreds of customers who love this tanner so we decided to convert it to a more dynamic forum so you always have the latest information for getting the perfect tan. One you learn these simple secrets, you can keep that sexy, natural looking tan all year long while you're also pampering your skin. You'll get more than just a tan. My Skin's Friend Sunless Tanner is on of the very few liposomal tanners on the market. It actually helps moisturize your skin as well as tanning it so it's like getting two products for the price of one. These simple secrets will guarantee an even, natural looking tan
Getting an even, natural looking tan shouldn't be difficult yet we hear from customers who have tried so many sunless tanners on the market only to be disappointed in the look of their tan.
We set out to make the best organic tanner on the market and from the emails and customer reviews we get, looks like we've accomplished it.
If you don't get the perfect tan, let us help
Sure, we occasionally get a customer feedback that says they got streaks or some uneven spots but even then, we work with them to help correct those issues and start over. Without exception, the outcome is positive so I urge you to write to us if you experience anything but a perfect tan and let us help.
Getting an even, natural looking tan is definitely possible without covering your body with chemicals, baking in a tanning bed or enduring the funky smell most tanners leave you with.
If you follow these simple steps, you too will be sporting a tan so natural looking that your friends will ask you where you just vacationed!
First things first.
Don't rush the process o.k.? You want a natural looking tan, not a cheap paint job right? Just like getting a real sun tan, it takes a little time and patience but the outcome will be well worth it.
My Skin's Friend doesn't tan you, it causes your body to tan itself. In fact, when you spray it on, you won't see any color because there isn't any in it. That's why it doesn't look fake like a lot of others but there are "secrets" to getting the best, most natural looking tan with it.
Before you spray, make sure your skin is clean and exfoliated. Use a regular wash cloth, loofah or anything else you might already like to exfoliate with. I discovered this helps speed up the process because it starts with new, fresh skin cells, not the old dead ones. Don't scrub so hard that you cause an abrasion. Just a nice firm scrub. There are two reasons for this.
When your done, dry off and go to the next step. I put plastic grocery store bags on my feet from the ankle down to keep the tops of my feet from getting tan from the falling mist.They also apply to elbows and knees because those areas tend to get darker faster and the lotion acts to help avoid that.
It is much easier if you have a friend who can spray you but almost all of our customers report they spray it on themselves with little problem. It might take a little practice to perfect it but it's done every day. I apply it to myself most of the time but when I can get my husband to do it, it is easier to maintain a more even coverage. VERY IMPORTANT. The main cause of streaks or runs is OVER SPRAYING. Because My Skin's Friend sunless tanner is clear (no colorants or staining chemicals), it is hard to tell where you've sprayed. For this reason, it is important to plan to cover in a methodical way to make sure you don't over spray and get runs or streaks.
If you have someone applying the spray to you, have them hold the bottle about a foot from your body and spray evenly from side to side, making sure to get an even coat. Applying too much each time will cause runs and you don't want that or you'll have streaks. Just a very light coat works like magic. RUN REPAIR TIP! If you see a run or large droplets during or after spraying, don't panic. It can be fixed before the streak shows up. Once you've finished your third and final application for that day, simply let the last coat dry a few minutes and then apply an organic lotion to the entire area to blend the overspray into the rest of the area. In almost all cases, this will completely eliminate any spots or streaks and you'll wake up with a very nice, even, natural looking tan. Over spray also happens because you will swear you're not getting enough on you but I assure you that you are. We chose the very fine mister pump to make sure you get a very light application each time to prevent runs or streaks. When one coat dries (which is very quick and can be accelerated with a blow dryer set to cool), apply the next one until you've sprayed three consecutive coats in one treatment. I know you won't feel like anything is happening but trust me, it is. Once the third coat is dry, you're ready to get dressed. My Skin's Friend tanner won't color hair or clothes so don't worry about having to cover your hair or having it rub off on your clothes or bed linens. Cover your whole body or the areas you want tan with that first coat and wait 3 minutes or so for it to dry. One of the things people love about it is that it dries very fast. Repeat this process no more than three days straight. Once you've done if for three days, STOP and wait for 48 hours for your tan to "mature" and show you the final shade. If you want to be darker, simply continue to apply it as above until you reach your ideal shade. Once that happens, you can usually maintain your tan with a once or twice a week application. Remember, you won't see the final results for 48 hours That's it! That's all you need to have a cool looking tan. And when people ask where you got your beautiful tan, tell 'em Tahiti! If you have any problems, questions or tips you'd like to share with us and your fellow tanners, please contact us at email@example.com. We love hearing from our customers and always appreciate tips you've learned to help get the best looking organic tan under the sun. Want to share what you've learned? Click here to send a link to this page to your friends! Now, go show off that beautiful tan of yours! Thank you for being My Skin's Friend. |

Reading and comprehension are important skills for primary school students.
To help your child become a more effective reader try some of these strategies.
- Predicting – use information from the text, images or your own experience to try and predict what might happen next, how characters might react or what the outcome will be.
- Questioning – ask and answer questions about the text to help children understand the meaning of the text.
- Monitoring – if something doesn't make sense as you read it, stop, reread and think or discuss what you've read to understand the meaning.
- Visualising – it can help to paint a picture in our head of things being described or explained in a text – it helps bring the text to life.
- Making connections – compare what you are reading to:
- something in your own life
- another text you have read or watched
- something happening in the world.
- Summarising – notice the most important things in the text and use your own words to describe what you have read.
Writing tips
All writing has a purpose. Make sure your child is thinking about who they are writing for and why. For example, there's a difference between writing a letter to a family member when on a holiday compared to writing a tourism brochure or story set in the same location.
Read your child's writing or get them to read it to you. Praise them for having a go at writing words that are new to them.
Encourage writing at home by:
- asking your child to keep a record of special events such as a diary or blog
- having your child label photos or pictures with captions
- spending time creating notes, letters and stories.
Helping with spelling
Spelling is closely linked to writing and reading. At school, students learn the importance of accurate spelling. When your child asks how to spell a word, always encourage them to have a go first, then discuss their effort and make sure you have a dictionary for checking. If using an online dictionary make sure it is an Australian dictionary, not American. The same goes for spellcheck on the computer – check the language is set as Australian English.
Look, say, cover, write, check
The following approach can help when a student practices their spelling.
- Look carefully at the word.
- Say the word.
- Cover the word.
- Write the word from memory.
- Uncover and check the spelling against the correct word.
- Repeat.

To keep synthetic grass sports surfacing in Holburn TD15 2 performing at its best, it is important to have a regular synthetic football pitch maintenance package in place. The level of maintenance an artificial football surface needs can vary and this can be reflected in the price.
Pitches that have a low level of maintenance carried out e.g. just a drag mat and brush every 6 months will cost less than a facility that is drag brushed and matted every other week. Using a drag brush to maintain the surface helps remove any litter and debris on the surface that could cause a drainage inhibiting skin to form and cause the surface to puddle in the event of heavy down pours. 3G pitch maintenance would have higher cost if the maintenance was more regular and contained extra items such as raking and grooming, infill top ups and power sweeps.
However without any type of synthetic football pitch maintenance, the surface can get muddy and lead to problems with drainage and contamination. This then creates more costs as treatment is needed to fix the damage and remove moss and algae from the football surface. Overall it's a lot more cost effective to carry out regular upkeep and prevent any damage in the first place. Keeping the sand and rubber infill well distributed will maintain good playing qualities and also stop dirt from getting stuck and making the surfacing compacted. We are specialists in synthetic football pitch maintenance in Holburn and one of our team members will be happy to discuss the process and the costs with you. Simply fill in the contact form to let us know what you need and we'll get back to you as soon as we can. You can also look here - http://www.artificialfootballpitch.org.uk/suppliers/northumberland/holburn/ to find out more regarding what we can do for you.
Proactive maintenance is important if you want to keep your 3G football pitch in the best condition. Drag brushing can be done in Holburn TD15 2 to spread out uneven infill throughout the artificial fibres; this is great for the football facility, as the original safety and performance characteristics will be restored. Synthetic turf pitches can become contaminated over time due to dirty infill; this can then have a negative impact on the drainage and performance of the surfacing. If a synthetic surface becomes contaminated, the pores can become blocked which means that the porosity will be lost or affected meaning that water can build up and the surface can become waterlogged. Regularly drag brushing your 3G pitch will help to prevent the artificial grass fibres becoming contaminated, as the infill will be spread out. Our builders http://www.artificialfootballpitch.org.uk/builders/northumberland/holburn/ can carry out a routine care plan to maintain your pitch in the best possible condition and reduce the need of costly repairs.
Infill redistribution is essential when taking care of your 3G pitch to extend the life span of your facility in your surrounding area and ensure that the surface remains SuDS (Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems) compliant. If you do not carry out regular maintenance of the facility, the surfacing may not continue to meet the accreditations that were met when the facility was originally installed. Drag brushing and chemical treatments are a great way to maintain the sports surfacing. If you've got any questions or queries, please do not hesitate to contact our team.
A moss and algae treatment can be applied to an artificial sport pitch in Holburn to prevent the growth of contaminants. Moss and algae are most common in areas where there are long periods of wet weather. Moss and algae appears when a poor maintenance plan is set up or synthetic pitches have been neglected. If contamination occurs on your synthetic football pitch, it is important to have it removed immediately. Dirt and moss can affect the water drainage causing your field to become waterlogged. By applying a chemical treatment it is possible to get rid of the contaminants and deter unwanted algae growth. Our specialists are able to carry out this treatment using a specialist chemical weed killer which will not damage your synthetic field.
If you've got an artificial grass sports surface in Holburn which has become damaged, we can complete artificial football turf repairs to fix the problem. Over time artificial grass carpet can become worn out and dirty, especially if it is not looked after with regular maintenance. When this happens the pitch can start to hold water and the carpet could be ripped or worn away. This can be potentially dangerous for players as they could slip or trip over during a match or in training. If you spot any damage to your synthetic football facility, we recommend that you have specialist repairs carried out to prevent them from getting worse or spreading to other areas.
Moss and algae can also start to grow on an artificial sports pitch, leading to reduced drainage qualities. When this happens you can have a chemical treatment applied to remove the contaminants and prevent future growth. As professional sport surfacing contractors we will be able to advise you on the best synthetic football pitch maintenance methods for your facility. Please fill in our contact form for information on costs to carry out synthetic football turf repairs, and to start a regular upkeep plan. One of our professional team members will get back to you with a quote for the work as soon as possible.
If you are looking how to maintain a nearby artificial football field, you need to follow these steps:
It is vital to carry out proactive maintenance in order to keep your closest synthetic pitch in a best condition. If you find the local surfacing is holding water or there are tears in the surface, you will need to get the surfacing repaired as soon as possible to prevent the need of more costly repairs like resurfacing http://www.artificialfootballpitch.org.uk/resurfacing/northumberland/holburn/ and other maintenance options.
If you require more information on synthetic football pitch maintenance in Holburn TD15 2 or you would like a quote for the repairs or preservation services we carry out, please fill out the contact form provided on this page. Once we receive your enquiry we will get back to you as quickly as possible with a helpful response and advice where needed.
