Whereas, Dr. Barnett served on the governing board of the Western Carolina Regional Sewer Authority for nineteen years and as chairman for five; and Whereas, a man of faith, he is a member of the Travelers Rest United Methodist Church; and Whereas, Dr. Barnett married his wife, Lee Barnett, in September of 1950. Together, they have four children, James Earle Barnett, Jr., Lesha Kathryn Nix, Kimberly Susan Elliott, and the late Melanie Ann Barnett; and Whereas, it would be fitting and proper to pay tribute to this distinguished son of South Carolina by naming an intersection in northern Greenville County in his honor. Now, therefore, Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring: That the members of the South Carolina General Assembly request that the Department of Transportation name the intersection of Highway 276 and Highway 288 (Pumpkintown Highway) in northern Greenville County “Dr. James E. Barnett Intersection” and erect appropriate markers or signs at the intersection containing this designation. Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Dr. James E. Barnett and the Department of Transportation. XX

The Commission’s EE&C Program must include “standards to ensure that each plan includes a variety of energy efficiency and conservation measures and will provide the measures equitably to all classes of customers.” 66 Pa. C.S. § 2806.1(a)(5). As in Phase I, the Commission expects the EDCs to provide a reasonable mix of energy efficiency programs for all customers. The EDCs are also required to provide comprehensive measures such as whole house installations and must include at least one such comprehensive measure for each of the residential and small commercial rate classes. See Phase II Implementation Order at 88 and 66 Pa. C.S. § 2806.1(b)(1)(ii). The Companies’ Plans contain nine different programs distributed across all customer classes.

After verifying the Complainant’s account information, including his account number, Kip said, “Congratulations. You do qualify, and because you qualify, I just need to ask you some simple questions.” Kip proceeded to ask a few more questions about the Complainant’s account information. (N.T. 73) Kip then explained that as a loyalty bonus the Complainant would receive “a rebate check valued at 15 percent of your highest Great American Power supplier charges . . . .” Then Kip told the Complainant that “the last thing we need to do to apply the savings to your account is just go through a quick taped verification . . . .” Kip instructed that the Complainant would be asked for his address and be asked to answer some yes/no questions. (N.T. 73) The Complainant agreed to answer the questions. (N.T. 73) The Complainant asked Kip if he was calling from Duquesne Light.

In cases where a student’s work does not meet the above requirements at the end of a marking period – using the student’s marking period grades – the student shall be deemed either performance or participation ineligible. The period of ineligibility for this academic review will be fifteen (15) school days starting on the day report cards are issued. At the end of the school year, the student’s final credits in his/her subjects rather than his/her credits for the last grading period shall be used to determine his/her eligibility for the next grading period. If as a result of attending summer school the student’s average is raised to meet requirements, s/he is considered eligible and may begin participation in the fall. For activities that include an academic component during the school day, such as band or choir, a student who is declared ineligible will continue to participate in any regularly scheduled classes but would be subject to the above eligibility requirements for activities occurring outside the school day. A student’s nonparticipation in such activities because of ineligibility will not affect his/her regular class grade. Normally, an “incomplete” must be made up within ten (10) school days. However, in unusual circumstances this period may be extended with permission from the principal. “Incompletes” become effective on the day report cards are distributed, but are not considered passing or failing when determining a student’s eligibility. Students may participate in extra-curricular activities during the period of time an “incomplete” is in effect, as long as minimum PIAA requirements are met. The principal, athletic director, advisor and/or coach shall jointly implement this policy. In any instance, the decision of the principal as to the eligibility of a student shall govern. Verification of Continuing Eligibility The procedure for checking a student’s continuing eligibility will be as follows: At the beginning of each activity, the designated coach, sponsor or athletic director must provide a list of eligible student participants to the building principal for certification. One student list shall be filed in the principal’s office and one list shall be retained for the sponsor’s files. Faculty members must maintain updated grade records in the district’s electronic grading system. By Thursday of each week academic eligibility will be determined for the coming week. The principal or designee of each school has the responsibility for determining that student participants are in compliance with eligibility requirements.

Before listing the accommodation in the student’s IEP or 504 plan, teams and plan coordinators should also consider whether: The student has access to printed text during routine instruction through a reader or other audio format, or interpreter; The student’s inability to decode printed text or read braille is documented in evaluation summaries from diagnostic assessments; or The student receives ongoing, intensive instruction and/or interventions in the foundational reading skills to continue to attain the important college and skill of independent reading. States may provide additional guidance for their respective states in order to define intensive instruction and interventions based on state policy or practice. Maryland’s Guidance: A student must be receiving research or evidenced-based intervention at the time the accommodation decision is made. All intervention services a student receives must be in addition to the core instruction. All interventions must be in place for at least two years. Research-based interventions are established on multiple, systematic investigations, including testing and evaluations, and are designed to develop or contribute to generalized knowledge. Evidence-based refers to an instructional program or collection of practices that have been tested and shown to have a record of success. That is, reliable, trustworthy, and valid evidence indicates that when that program or set of practices is used, students can be expected to make adequate gains in academic achievement.

By Tentative Order on Reconsideration entered March 14, 2013 (Tentative Order), the Commission, inter alia, postponed the implementation schedule of the Electric Distribution Companies (EDCs) DSP ROI Programs and provided the Parties an opportunity to provide written comments on the implementation schedule of the ROI Programs. Discussion Initially, we note that any issue, which we do not specifically address herein, has been duly considered and will be denied without further discussion. It is well settled that we are not required to consider expressly or at length each contention or argument raised by the parties. Consolidated Rail Corp. v. Pa. PUC, 625 A.2d 741 (Pa. Cmwlth. 1993); also see, generally, University of Pennsylvania v. Pa. PUC, 485 A.2d 1217 (Pa. Cmwlth. 1984). A. Standard for Review The Petitions were filed pursuant to 52 Pa. Code § 5.572, Petitions for Relief. In addition to petitions for reconsideration, this regulation encompasses, inter alia, petitions for rehearing, reargument, and clarification. As with petitions for reconsideration, such petitions are decided by the application of the standards set forth in Duick v. Pennsylvania Gas and Water Co., Docket No. C-R0597001 et al., 56 Pa. P.U.C. 553, 559 (1982). Under the standards set forth in Duick, a petition for reconsideration may properly raise any matter designed to convince this Commission that we should exercise our discretion to amend or rescind a prior Order, in whole or in part. Such petitions are likely to succeed only when they raise “new and novel arguments” not previously heard or considerations that appear to have been overlooked or not addressed by the Commission. Duick at 559. It has also been held that, because a grant of relief on

Back to Contents 1.2 Summary of Issues ► Is the person’s account a credible one? ► Are members of religious groups at risk of ill-treatment or harm amounting to persecution in Vietnam? ► Are those at risk able to seek effective protection? ► Are those at risk able to internally relocate within Vietnam? Back to Contents 1.3 Consideration of Issues Is the person’s account a credible one? 1.3.1 Decision makers must consider whether the material facts relating to the person’s account of their membership of a religious group and of their experiences as such is reasonably detailed, internally consistent (e.g. oral testimony, written statements) as well as being externally credible (i.e. consistent with generally known facts and the country information). Decision makers should take into account all mitigating reasons why a person is inconsistent or unable to provide details of material facts such as age; gender; mental or emotional trauma; fear and/or mistrust of authorities; education, feelings of shame; painful memories, particularly those of a sexual nature, and cultural implications.

Relationship to CPF The proposed project is aligned with the Country Partnership Strategy (CPS - FY14-18), whose overarching goal is sustainable reduction in poverty and increased shared prosperity. Aligned both with Kenya’s Vision 2030 and its Medium-Term Plan, the strategy highlights three domains of engagement: • Competitiveness and sustainability – growth to eradicate poverty; • Protection and potential – human resource development for shared prosperity; • Building consistency and equity – delivering a devolution dividend. The project will directly contribute to domain 1 by supporting an enabling environment to scale-up least cost renewable generation capacity – vital for reducing the operating costs of industries and enhancing the productive incomes of households. The proposed project also adheres to the objectives set in World Bank’s Energy Sector Directions Paper - specifically on ‘expand renewable energy’ and ‘create an enabling environment’. The World Bank is committed to supporting all forms of renewable energy depending on country’s resource endowments; policy framework; availability for financing for any cost differences etc. Geothermal – an abundant resource in East Africa, is a particularly low-cost resource with an ability to provide reliable supply. The World Bank is also dedicated to helping countries promote market solutions and increase leverage of financial resources. This support can be in the form of strengthening regulatory and contractual frameworks; enhancing the financial sustainability and creditworthiness of utilities; and using guarantees where appropriate to improve credit standing and mitigate risks for private sector. By building from the long-term experience in the development of innovative products to optimize the use of concessional resources, promote the judicious use of scarce public funds and crowd-in commercial capital across the power sector in Kenya, the proposed project supports the implementation of Maximizing Finance for Development (MFD, the “Cascade”) approach laid out in the World Bank’s Development Committee paper. The objective of the Cascade is to mobilize commercial finance, enabled by upstream reforms where necessary to address market failures and other constraints to private sector investment at the country and sector level, including the provision of guarantees and risk-sharing instruments to mitigate sectoral risks. Proposed Development Objective(s) The proposed development objective is to enhance KenGen’s ability to attract long-term private capital for the sustainable development of renewable energy.
