In a very calm, easy going atmosphere you can expect to laugh a bit, as it is called 'playing' music! You will have an understanding of how to read & play a minimum 3 songs each month, & will be picking up enough music theory as it applies to your instrument each week to feel confident & inspired to continue on as far as you desire. We will learn how to 'play well with others' in informal as well as more structured gatherings every few months, with no pressure, only compassion & encouragement.
For those wishing to join in the fun of playing bluegrass music, we will start out with technique exercises, scales, basic melodies & accompaniment patterns to prepare you to learn this unique & exciting style of American music. There are many gatherings in the area called 'Pickin' Parties' that I want to get you ready to participate in as soon as is humanly possible.
If you are one of those brave souls undertaking the lovely but challenging fretless instrument, the violin, my main focus is to get you started with the all the necessary basic techniques - holding the instrument & bow correctly, getting the best possible tone & pitch using efficiency & accuracy, mixed with a great deal of ear training & heart.
Specific songs you'd like to learn? Your reward for accomplishing what I deem necessary on whichever instrument you've chosen will be for us to listen to your desired piece & writing it out in either or tablature or standard notation.

My name is Erin. I am a graduate of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. I have a Bachelor of Arts in Music, with a concentration in Violin. I began studying violin at the age of six. I have performed with small chamber ensembles, orchestras, quartets, and trios. I enjoy playing for churches and weddings, and love teaching.
I began teaching beginner to advanced Violin and Viola in April of 2001 in NC. I�moved to California in the fall of 2008. Since moving to California I have extended my teaching to beginner Piano and Cello also. I have taught students ages 3 to 87 how to play and enjoy music on a personal level. My experience includes leading sectionals for middle school orchestra, organizing and instructing small ensembles, and organizing student recitals. Student recitals I arranged once or twice a year to showcase the students' growth and abilities, and to provide an opportunity to give back to family and friends whose sacrifices and support enable the students to succeed.
I teach because I love music and I believe God has given me a gift. Playing and teaching help me to use my talent for His glory. I love working with people and I love how music enables people of all ages to open up and express themselves in a positive way, no matter what life throws their way. I believe music teaches discipline, builds self esteem; helps set and achieve goals; and positively affects and enhances other curricular endeavors.
My teaching philosophy is to always have fun while learning, to set attainable goals for the student, to learn through encouragement and discipline, and to help students come to love music on a personal level. I focus on the character of each student and their goals and desires to see that the student and/or parents are satisfied. Teaching is a privilege for me that I do not take for granted.
*** Lesson Details ***
I offer half hour, forty-five minute, sixty minute lessons, or longer on a weekly basis, but I do Not offer bi-weekly lessons. My lessons begin with the fundamentals of music. I believe a firm foundation in rhythm and reading is important because a student may switch musical instruments one day and the basics are universal and necessary. I have a deep love and appreciation for music which I hope to instill in my students as well. I am strict in the sense that I like students to polish their pieces before moving on. I like to keep them focused on playing well, not just playing.
A typical lesson will begin with scales to warm up, a review of the previous week's material, and a new assignment. Students will memorize pieces, be proficient in scales and rhythms, and all the while laughing and having a great time. I am known with my students for my creative analogies and flexibility to try new things in order to adapt to the students strengths and weaknesses. My students look forward to coming to their lesson, and that is very rewarding as a teacher.
I primarily use the Suzuki method for Violin and Viola, because it offers progressive steps to mastering technique, style, and musicality. My curriculum includes the use of Winning Rhythms, Wohlfahrt studies, All for Strings Theory, Essentials for Strings, and many more beginner and advanced studies; including shifting and double stops.
I love music and I love working with people; teaching is just icing on the cake. I look forward to helping you achieve your goals and discover your talents and I hope we can learn together. I look forward to meeting you!

I strongly believe that, if every child would be provided with an ideal environment, would gain extraordinary ability. There are no exceptions. No one can tell how able man is by the nature. What is known is the ability that is spoiled or developed. It cannot be denied that most children speak their native languages beautifully by learning about 3000-4000 words by age 5 or 6. Nothing can clearer demonstrate of the original power of the human mind. Through the years of studying and teaching music I realized that this is the most important concept for developing each kid's talent, to increase his or her ability to the maximum. Therefore I am combining the great methods of teaching violin. The Suzuki method and the Russian school method. Suzuki method helps at the earliest stage of playing an instrument and I am using later Russian school method for more advanced period of studying.
Teaching is my passion and I thoroughly love what I am doing.
Every single child is special to me and every one receives special attention.
My students also play semiannual recital, witch helps them to gain confidence.

As Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney made a campaign stop in Shelby Township on Tuesday, he told a crowd of about 500 people at Eagle Manufacturing that his main goal if elected president of the United States would be to "cut the spending."
"We need to balance our budget and do more things to reduce our spending," he started off by saying.
Romney, who appeared relaxed in jeans, said he plans on achieving that goal by keeping taxes flat, or lower, cut government spending and end entitlements.
The Michigan native said he chose to hold the town hall forum at the Eagle Manufacturing, a Shelby Township-based defense manufacturing plant, to drive home the notion that the private sector in America will be the key to job creation, not the government.
"I know you have to get the government out of the way and let the private sector create jobs," said the former Massachusetts Governor.
Shelby Township Supervisor Rick Stathakis echoed Romney's sentiments, stating Eagle Manufacturing has promised to bring more than 30 jobs to the township.
Romney, the son of former Michigan Gov. George Romney, clarified that unlike his competitor, Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum, who spoke in Shelby Friday at Palazzo Grande, he has not spent his entire career in Washington and understands the struggles of a businessperson.
"I'm the only guy in the race who has worked in the private sector," Romney added. "I am looking to get that job so I can change Washington, not so I can be a part of it."
Romney said his tax plan for the U.S. would be to make them flatter, fairer and simpler.
"If you raise taxes on anybody in America, you're going to depress job creations," he said.
On government spending, Romney told the crowd that his plan would be very different from Obama's $1 trillion dollars per year.
"If we continue at this rate, we'll be like Greece," he said.
Romney said he'll spell out his full economic plan when he addresses the Detroit Economic Club on Friday.
Romney's plan for the auto bailout was reinforced again Tuesday. He supported a managed bankruptcy for the Big Three in 2009. Romney told the crowd that United Auto Workers President Ron Gettelfinger had told Washington that nobody would buy cars from bankrupt companies.
"I was right and he was wrong," said Romney.
While on the topic of government spending, Romney said it's important that the government do everything it can to protect Medicare and Social Security for future generations.
Lisa Richter of Washington Township, who came to the town hall with her children and nieces in tow, said she supports Romney, and agrees with his policies on ending entitlements and cutting spending.
Richter visibly shivered when she recounted her 5-year-old niece's words told to her and her mother just yesterday.
"My niece here said if Obama's in office she should not work because he'll give her money and if she does work, he'll take her money. It's a little scary the children are thinking that mindset that early," she said.
Before introducing Romney to the crowd, Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette, who called Romney "the comeback kid," said Romney is the only candidate who could defeat President Barack Obama in the next election.
"Someone needs to stop Obama and that person is Mitt Romney," he said.
Romney took a range of questions from the audience, ranging from religious freedom to abortion to who he would choose as his running mate and his stance on Iran.
Romney, who is a Mormon, told the crowd he was pro-life, and although he hasn't even begun to think about who his running mate would be, that person would also have to be pro-life and conservative to the core.
While in town, both Santorum and Romney criticized Obama's diplomacy with Iran and the threat that Iran poses in possibly building a nuclear program.
Romney said that if "crippling sanctions" and other strategies failed, the military, which he plans on amping up by at least 100,000 people, would be on the table because it is "unacceptable" for Iran to become a nuclear power.
"We will prepare our military so that they (Iran) will not have nuclear weapons that threaten America," said Romney Tuesday.
In closing, Romney has said he has toured all 83 counties in Michigan while helping his father win the governor's race and his mother Lenore run for senate in 1970.
"Macomb County has always been very good to me, my dad and the Romney family," he said.
Dawn Beauvias of Shelby Township brought her sons, Steve, 17, and Michael, 19, both first-time presidential voters, to hear Romney speak.
Beauvais said she found it interesting that both GOP candidates made a stop in Shelby Township leading up to the primary elections on Feb. 28.
"I really think Mitt should win this state based upon his history and his father being the governor, but I do think his talk about not supporting the bailout of the car industry has really hurt him a bit in Michigan," said Beauvais. "That's why Rick Santourm came here to win the state's vote, but Mitt has to follow suit to get more support and get his message out."

Chief Joe Martin says on May 9 a 14-year old girl spent the night at a relatives Spring Street residence.
While the girl was sleeping, he says the relatives boyfriend, Jonathan Bowersock, touched her inappropriately.
"This situation is a little unique, it was a boyfriend of a family member, so you wouldn't anticipate that individual to be there at 4:00 in the morning, but sometimes that's something you can't control. Be aware of where your children are at all times, especially if it's an overnight deal when you're not going to be there," says Chief Martin.

Insurance market update - July 2012
The Deloitte view for non-life insurers
As we reported last year the motor insurance industry has faced a challenging environment in which pressure comes from both supply and demand side. Following two years of high losses in 2009 and 2010 and consequent premium increases, as we predicted, 2011 proved to be a better year with the impact of the rate increases finally coming through into the results. We also gaze into the crystal ball and consider three possible scenarios of where the market will go next based on our survey of market participants.
In this edition James Rakow and Julian Leigh review the state of the motor insurance market, in particular commenting upon the underwriting results and the main divers impacting those results. We also examine areas that market participants consider to be the current issues affecting their business.

Patricia Hicks is dressed-up in a glittery New Year's commemorative headband, a festive circlet shimmering in the Winchester Avenue holiday lights. She welcomes 2013 with nearest and dearest.
Gala get-togethers mean a lot.
She walks outside First Baptist Church Christian Life Center in the 1600 block and looks to her son, Ethan Reeves, 12. The miracle millennium baby has a birthday nearing. Drawn against a rare heart condition doctors questioned his survival. With grace and scores of surgeries, he's here with family, having a blast at the New Year's Eve Party and Ball Drop Monday evening.
The 51-year-old Webbville mother counts her blessings.
"I just want to live for God," said the faithful servant of Gregoryville Apostolic Truth Tabernacle, looking at Ethan, and her kids, Krista Payne, 9; and Kalah Wilburn, 21.
"We all need to help more and give more to our community," adding she's thankful for the free downtown mixer, an alcohol-free shindig ideal for families.
Wilburn is joined on the sidewalk by her husband, Shawn, 22. She tugs at her pants showing off her diet is working. The young woman is losing weight in 2013.
"Gotta be healthier and eat more veggies and fruit," she chuckles, yanking her waistband. "Feel my clothes getting looser already."
Joyful music reverberates from the church gym, the classic rock, live sounds of Outrider, a trio of local pediatrician Dr. Ish Stevens Jr., Jesse Waddell and Justin Butler. Rob McNurlin of Last of the Beatnik Cowboys takes the stage to ring in the New Year with melody. Tots crowd Peanuts The Clown who concocts colorful creatures from twisty balloons.
Even with wintry mix of snow and ice trickling around the glistening New Year's orb dangling overtop Judd Plaza, close to 400 merrymakers raised the roof, said Sue Dowdy, director of the Ashland Area Convention and Visitors Bureau.
She waits on folks at the First Baptist entryway – distributing raffle and refreshment tickets. Her golden champagne glass accessories shine as brightly as the faces of children who run around the bleachers, eat hot dogs, and raise a ruckus with shrill party horns.
It's a 20-year tradition, a favor hosted and sponsored by the city of Ashland's recreation department and Ashland Area Convention and Visitors Bureau.
Amber Clevenstine and Linda VanHorn, both 30, are old acquaintances from schooldays together – never forgotten. The Greenup women have a ball watching their kids fool around on the musical wall at the Highlands Museum & Discovery Center. It's important their five Argillite Elementary students grow up together – just as they did as girls.
"It's my resolution to get in touch with old friends – and stay close to friends who mean so much," paused VanHorn, seeing their youngsters vie in a corn hole match.
Their pal, Charles Corbin, 33, is appreciative of efforts to make revelry child-friendly. He remembers block parties in his youth, painting downtown red with DJ music and pizza.
"This keeps kids off the street and gives them something to do rather than get into trouble on New Year's," he said. "In a small town like Ashland it's a really great thing they put this on for families."
Volunteer Mike Mussetter agreed.
"It's a small, wholesome way the city of Ashland gives back to the public," said volunteer Mike Mussetter. "There's always a good crowd – and we're here until midnight with free food, music, and the kids can play."

Tonawanda News — Beginning Feb. 24, Artisan Kitchens & Baths in Buffalo will play host to the who's who of Western New York chefs for the fifth season of the Nickel City Chef competition.
For those unfamiliar with the event, Nickel City Chef is roughly based on the "Iron Chef" competition on the Food Network. Each competition features one existing Nickel City Chef — who holds the title until they decide to retire — and one challenging chef. Both must represent a Western New York restaurant and must have a strong culinary background.
"We choose who we think would fare best in the competition," NCC founder Christa Glennie Seychew said of the selection process. "We would never want to put someone in who would not perform as well as the Nickel City Chef."
The two chefs — and their sous chefs — square off in front of a live audience and must create three dishes based on one secret, locally sourced ingredient. They have one hour to complete the three dishes and serve them to a panel of judges. The chef who has the best score wins bragging rights and perhaps an increase in business at their respective restaurant.
This year marks the fifth season of NCC and only the second time a Niagara County chef will be taking the stage with the addition of Jason LaMotte, of The Conference & Event Center in Niagara Falls.
"Having Jason this year is great," said Seychew, explaining that the selection committee was impressed that he had worked with celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay and won a coveted Michelin Star while working in Europe.
"Coupled with this idea he has of trying to integrate food from Niagara County farms into the convention center menu," Seychew said LaMotte seemed like an interesting choice to pit against NCC Brian Mietus of Bacchus.
"They're both very classically trained," Seychew said, adding that the two are matched both in style and execution.

We make too much money to qualify for a Pell Grant. Should we still file a FAFSA?
YES! To qualify for federal Stafford loans, Parent PLUS loans and federal work-study, you will need to file a FAFSA. Many colleges require a FAFSA to qualify for institutional scholarships, grants or other aid they may have available. Institutional funds may not necessarily be based on need. Remember, you can't qualify for financial aid if you don't file.
There is room to list four colleges on the paper FAFSA, but I'm applying to more. What should I do?
The online FAFSA has space for 10 colleges. If you want to include more, you can update the FAFSA using your PIN after you receive your Student Aid
Report (SAR). You will need to delete some of the original colleges before you can add new ones to receive your FAFSA information.
If you make other corrections to your FAFSA later, the FAFSA processor will send the updated information to the 10 schools listed at the time the corrections are made. If you want the other colleges to receive your updated FAFSA, look for the Data Release Number (DRN) on the confirmation page and give that number to the financial aid office of the college that is not listed; they can get your updated information electronically.
I'm already attending college. Do I need to complete another FAFSA?
Yes. You must complete a FAFSA every academic year you wish to receive financial aid. The process will be faster, since your FAFSA information will carry over to the next application year. If you receive New York State TAP, you must also re-apply each year you attend college.
I went to FAFSA.com to complete the application, but they wanted me to pay. What gives?
The first word in FAFSA is "Free." You don't have to pay anyone to complete the paper or online for you and there are no secret formulas to get additional student aid. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid, the FAFSA, is the key to student financial aid. Go directly to
Do I have to register with Selective Service?
Young men age 18 through 25 are required to register with the U.S. Selective Service in order to receive federal student aid including Pell Grants, Federal Work-Study, and Stafford Loans. If you haven't registered, you can do it on the FAFSA. By answering "yes," you give the U.S. Department of Education permission to submit your information to Selective Service. Get more information about U.S. Selective Service at their website,
Family/dependency questions
My parents are separated/divorced – which parent's financial information should I include?
Include the financial information from the parent with whom you lived with most during the past 12 months. If you live with both parents 50 percent of the time, the parent who provided the most financial support should complete the parent portion of the FAFSA.
I am a step-parent. Do I need to provide my income information for my step-daughter, who lives with me and her father, on the FAFSA?
: Yes, since your step-daughter is part of your household, your income must be reported.
I am getting divorced from child's stepfather; how do I complete the income and asset questions?
Use your income and asset information if you are not living in the same household and are separated pending divorce.
I am a high school student and a single mother living on my own. Should I seek independence so I can receive more aid or should I include my mother's information?
Since you are a single parent, you are already considered independent.
My mother is deceased and I do not know my father. I currently live with my grandmother. What is my dependency status?
If your grandmother is your legal guardian, you will file as an independent student. If your grandmother does not have documentation to meet the requirement of legal guardianship and you are unable to get financial information from your father, complete the student portion of the FAFSA and answer the question regarding special circumstances. Then, sign the FAFSA and submit it. Although your application will be incomplete, the colleges listed will still receive your data. You should contact the financial aid offices at your selected colleges for further instructions.
Is there a question on the FAFSA where a student can indicate the loss of a military parent in Iraq/Afghanistan post 9/11?
No, there is not a question about this. Instead, the Department of Education automatically checks a list of affected students provided by the Department of Defense. The Department of Education then contacts those students. If you have lost a parent in this way, please contact your college's financial aid office.
I am living in foster care and completing the FAFSA. What status do I use?
As a youth-in-care, or a former youth-in-care, you may be eligible to be considered for independent student status. This status may apply to you if you are an orphan (both parents deceased), a ward of the court or in foster care on or after your 13th birthday, even if you have subsequently been adopted. This may also apply to youth in kinship guardianship. If you are considered independent, your custodial parents' financial information is not required on the FAFSA. The U.S. Department of Education's publication
Determining FAFSA Dependency
has a complete list of the criteria that determines dependency. On your FAFSA, be sure you check the "Ward/dependency of the state or courts" box so you can receive all of the aid for which you're eligible. You may need to show proof of your Independent Status at the college financial aid office; if so, ask your caseworker for a letter stating your independent status on agency letterhead.
Have other dependency questions? Review the U.S. Department of Education's publication
Determining FAFSA Dependency
I got married in December 2013. Do I have to say I'm married on the FAFSA and report my husband's income, even though he did not contribute to my previous year's income?
Yes; you must indicate your marital status as of the day you are completing the FAFSA and include his income.
The parent who the student resides with is remarried. Do they need to include the stepparent's financial information?
If a FAFSA applicant lives in a household where the parent is remarried and here is a stepparent, then the student is required to include information about that stepparent, including financial information.
A student is living with grandparents, who are also the student's legal guardians. Does the student need to put the grandparents' information on the FAFSA?
If the grandparents have legal guardianship as determined by a court in the student's state of residence, then the student will be considered independent. The student should be prepared to provide copies of this documentation to the college financial aid office.
A student was kicked out of the home and no longer has contact with the parents. How is the FAFSA filed without parent information?
The FAFSA will ask whether the student has access to parent information; if the student indicates "no," then the FAFSA will allow the student to file without parent information. However, the student will need to contact the financial aid office to discuss the situation to determine whether a "dependency override" can be performed.
Financial and Tax Questions
Should we wait until our taxes are done before completing the FAFSA?
You should not wait. Submit the FAFSA with estimates so you can be packaged for financial aid by your selected colleges; aid is often awarded on a first-come-first served basis. You can make updates to the FAFSA after you've filed your 2013 taxes. In most cases, you can use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool (see next Q&A).
How do I link my FAFSA to my federal tax return?
Follow the information on HESC.org's
IRS Data Retrieval Tool page
I can't find my pension amount for question 94A on my federal tax return. Where can I find this information?
You'll find your pension amount on your W-2 form, box 12.
I am the custodian of a UTMA account (Uniform Transfer to Minors Act) – how do I report this?
: UTMA and UGMA (Uniform Gifts to Minors Act) accounts are considered assets of the student on the FAFSA, regardless of the student's dependency status. If you are a parent, do not include UTMA and UGMA accounts as a parent asset if you are the custodian, but not the owner; these are to be reported as student assets.
Should a small family business value, or net worth, be reported on the FAFSA as an asset?
If the business has fewer than 100 employees and if the family owns and controls more than 50 percent of the business, it is not considered an asset.
Does my 401K count as an investment?
No. Investments do not include the home you live in; cash, savings and checking accounts; the value of life insurance and retirement plans (401K plans, pension funds, annuities, non-education IRA's Keogh plans, etc.).
Do students' assets have to be reported on the FAFSA?
Yes. The formula adds student contribution and parent contribution to determine the
Expected Family Contribution (EFC)
I don't see any questions about assets on the online FAFSA. Why not?
: The online FAFSA uses skip-logic that will ask only the questions the student and family need to complete. You may be exempt from answering based on your previous answers. When you've completed entering your financial data, the online FAFSA will prompt you for any additional information that may be required.
My family is dealing with large medical bills; will that affect my financial aid?
You should notify the college financial aid office of your circumstances and complete a college special circumstances form if available or, write a letter including supporting documentation with your request for special consideration.
What is the difference between Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) and disability income? My mother is on disability, but the FAFSA won't let me proceed without entering the AGI. I want to skip the question, since her only income was disability income. How should I proceed?
If there was no other income, enter "0" for the AGI. The disability income should be reported in #91i the "Parents' 2013 untaxed income."
If a parent has 529 College Savings Plans set up for multiple children, some of whom are not in college yet, do they need to report the value of all those 529 plans or just the amount of the plan established for the student listed on the FAFSA?
The value of all 529 plans needs to be reported as an asset of the parent. The EFC formula will then take into account how many people the parent is supporting in his/her household and will understand that the parent cannot spend all assets on just one child.
Q: The parents of a student are reporting that the income on their tax return is not indicative of their current income situation. How should they report their income on the FAFSA?
A: The income questions on the FAFSA must be completed as it relates to what is being reported on the Federal Income Tax Return, W2 form, or other income documents. Therefore, if a question on the FAFSA asks what the AGI is, the parents must fill in the amount of the AGI listed on their tax return, regardless of any special circumstance. If an applicant feels their FAFSA information represents an inaccurate picture of their family's financial situation, they should report this to the financial aid offices at the colleges they are applying to. The financial aid administrator will make a determination if the circumstance warrants an adjustment to the FAFSA and, if so, will provide instructions about required documentation.
TAP Questions
Can I complete the FAFSA and TAP application at the same time?
Yes! You can apply for TAP at the end of the FAFSA on the confirmation page. Look for the link, which will take you directly to the TAP-On-The-Web application:
I missed the TAP link on the FAFSA confirmation page. How do I apply for TAP?
If your FAFSA information indicates you may be eligible for TAP, you will receive an email from HESC within 3 to 5 business days with a link to the online application.
Q: Why did I fail to link to the TAP application after the FAFSA?
A: It could be for a number of reasons: You may have not listed your state of residency as New York State, or you may not have listed an eligible college located in the State of New York.
The TAP application was prefilled with the first New York State college we entered on the FAFSA, but I haven't decided which school I want to attend. What if I choose a different school than the one listed on the TAP application?
You have several ways to change the school on the TAP application:
Go HESC's
Manage My Account
using your ID and HESCPin and change the college code.
Contact HESC's call center at 1-888-697-4372 and use the automated system to change the code – you'll need your HESCPin.
Ask the financial aid office at the college you will attend to change the school code online at HESC.
If I receive a full TAP award at a SUNY school, but decide to attend a private college in New York State instead, will my TAP award increase?
Students may receive a maximum TAP award of $5,000, regardless if you are attending a public SUNY college or a private institution

TAP Frequently Asked Questions
Eligibility/Citizenship/Registration Status
What determines "eligible noncitizen status?"
Generally, you are an
eligible noncitizen
if you are one of the following:
A U.S. permanent resident with a Permanent Resident Card (formerly known as an Alien Registration Receipt Card or "Green Card."
A conditional permanent resident (I-55-C)
Other eligible noncitizen with an Arrival-Departure Record (I-94) from the Department of Homeland Security showing any one of the following designations: "Refugee;" "Assylum Granted;" "Indefinite Parole;" "Humanitarian Parole;" or "Cuban-Haitian Entrant."
A citizen of the Republic of Paulau (PW), the Republic of the Marshall Islands (MH), or the Federated States of Micronesia (FM).
You can receive federal student aid if you are an eligible noncitizen. You must enter your eight or nine digit Alien Registration Number (ARN) on the FAFSA.
Are students with Refugee or Asylum statuses considered eligible noncitizens on the FAFSA? What if their Alien Registration Number expires?
Federal regulations define an eligible noncitizen as someone "able to provide evidence from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that he or she is in the U.S. for other than a temporary purpose with the intention of becoming a citizen or permanent resident." In other words, regulations require that the Department of Education rely upon the determination made by DHS. When a student files a FAFSA, an automatic check is run with DHS to determine whether they are a citizen or eligible noncitizen. If the data match with DHS indicates the student's information did not match with DHS, the college is then required to request documentation from the student to show his or her eligible status. Remember, a DHS provided status can be revoked; therefore the results of a non-match must be appropriately resolved.
How do students who are citizens themselves, but whose parents are undocumented complete the parent information on the FAFSA?
: A dependent student whose parents are undocumented fills out the FAFSA the same as anyone else, with one exception: If the parents do not have Social Security Numbers (SSNs), the student should enter all zeros in the space for their SSNs. If the parents did not file taxes, they need to indicate as such on the FAFSA and answer the other income questions accordingly (how much earned from work, untaxed income, etc.). If the parents earned an income where they are required to file taxes, then they should do so before filing the FAFSA.
Can an undocumented student complete the FAFSA?
An undocumented student will not be considered an "eligible noncitizen" for purposes of the FAFSA an should speak to the financial aid office at his/her intended college to discuss options for financial assistance.

Lockport Union-Sun & Journal
Lockport Union-Sun & Journal — Ten years ago today, three Lockport police officers experienced an ordeal that forever links them and continues to haunt them.
The event began when an unstable man opened fire in a city tavern on Feb. 8, 2003 and ended several hours later in a Town of Lockport trailer park with two city officers wounded and the assailant dead after a flurry of gunfire.
K-9 officer Steven D. Ritchie was shot three times and was revived four times by paramedics enroute to the hospital. Capt. Lawrence Eggert was shot in the back, the bullet smashing bones in his shoulder. Lt. Scott Seekins exchanged fire with the shooter and was credited with saving the lives of his brother officers.
It was a national story and Seekins was named 2003 Police Officer of the Year by Parade Magazine and the International Association of Chiefs of Police.
"I know how hard (Scott) was working to save our lives," Ritchie said this week. "If he (Seekins) wasn't there, we would have been executed. There is no doubt in my mind, we would not be alive today. His award was well deserved."
Niagara County Sheriff's Deputy Sgt. Kevin Mack was also under fire and his patrol car was sprayed with bullets. Mack was named the 2003 Deputy of the Year by the New York State Sheriff's Association.
The shooter, who was armed with an AK-47 assault weapon, got off dozens of shots during the ordeal. Jason Kanalley, 26, of Park Place took his own life around 5 a.m., six hours after it all started.
It is not an anniversary the officers celebrate. Emotional scars, along with the physical ones, remain.
• "I deal with post-traumatic stuff," Ritchie said.
• "Sometimes at 3 in the morning I wake up with a cold sweat," said Eggert, who is now Lockport's police chief.
• "It's a nightmare that will never stop," Seekins said.
The city's snowy shootout started Feb. 8, 2003 shortly after 11 p.m. — a Saturday night at a busy Niagara Hotel at 58 North Transit St. — and ended at a Transit Road trailer park at 5 a.m. on Sunday, Feb. 9.
Kanalley had fired his assault weapon at a man whose girlfriend Kanalley had once dated. He then fled.
Seekins, who had just been promoted to Detective Lieutenant, was off-duty at 11 p.m., but everyone was summoned for the shooting call. Seekins' role was to collect evidence. He took several pictures inside the establishment. "The Niagara Hotel was all shot up inside. I was collecting bullet fragments and bullet casings," he said. "There were people at all the tables and they never got shot."
Most of the city's officers ended up going to the site of the rampage, but the whereabouts of the shooter was unknown. It was snowing and weather conditions deteriorated into the night.
It was learned later that Kanalley may have parked his Pontiac Sunfire at Wilson Farms a short block away, watching police perform their investigation and planning another assault. Seekins said, "In a post-interview with a witness, he considered coming back to the scene."
Transit Street, considered part of the crime scene, was closed.
After collecting evidence, Seekins returned to the police station, just around the corner from the Niagara Hotel, while detectives gathered information from the woman at the bar whose boyfriend had been targeted. They learned that Kanalley may have been on Wicks Road in Wrights Corners. State Police and Niagara County Sheriffs deputies joined in the manhunt, but the suspect wasn't located at the Wrights Corners address.
Information was coming in from several sources. "It was frustrating because we were playing cat-and-mouse trying to catch up with him," Seekins recalled.
A woman who was with Kanalley gave solid information that the shooter might be in the southeast part of the city and the police followed up.
At 4 a.m. officer Michael Stover located Kanalley's car traveling on Beattie Avenue but couldn't keep up with him. "Slow speed and weather conditions dictated," Seekins explained. "Kanalley did well because he had four studded snow tires and his front-wheel drive car."
The police cars were full-size Crown Victorias, but the rear-wheel drive offered limited traction in the snow.
Police began a parallel pursuit, with most cars heading south on Beattie Avenue while Lt. Seekins and Capt. Eggert went south on Transit in a separate vehicle. Seekins was driving.
The convoy took the Old Beattie Road route into the Woodlands trailer park. Seekins and Eggert chose to go into the southern entrance of the Woodlands, near the NOCO station on Transit Road.
"We pulled in there and stopped," Seekins said. "Presumably, he could come right at us, and that's exactly what happened."
The cops and Kanalley passed each other and the policemen took cover in order not to be exposed to the windows. Kanalley had an AK-47 with hundreds of rounds of ammunition.
"We turned around to tail him, hoping other units would catch up, but the other cars (coming from Old Beattie) lost track of him," Seekins said.
Kanalley pulled into the NOCO station, spun his car around and aimed it at the police. "He pulled out and tried to T-bone us but he missed. He nearly went into the ditch himself," Seekins said.
Kanalley appeared to be going back toward the city, but instead turned into the adjacent Village Mobile Home Park.
Stover came out of the Woodlands and joined the chase into the Village. Eggert and Seekins were in one car, Stover in another and Ritchie was in the K-9 SUV with Blesk.
Eggert directed Seekins to stop. Kanalley was making faster headway through the curvy streets. It was snowing so hard there were nearly whiteouts and Kanalley disappeared on one of the side streets.
As Eggert was about to order to shut down the trailer park, Kanalley re-emerged, from the street on which he had disappeared.
"As he turned I could see flashes coming through his windshield," Seekins said. "I yelled, 'get out.' My cell got shot. It was on the dashboard."
The cell phone hit Seekins as he was getting out. The phone took a bullet on the No. 7 key, but still worked. "How I never got shot, I'll never know," Seekins said. The bullet holes in the windshield indicated Kanalley's bullets would have hit the new Detective Lieutenant in the throat.
While Seekins was running for cover behind the patrol car, Kanalley slammed the car door with his bumper. At the same time, Eggert was hit by a bullet while escaping out of the passenger door.
Ritchie recalled, "I saw headlights coming at me and there were gun shots. He was shooting at Scott Seekins and Larry Eggert's car. They bailed out and went to cover. He was blasting away and I ducked down. He rammed my car head on." The collision broke Ritchie's jaw and he lost several teeth.
Kanalley, who had removed the stock from his AK-47, was resting the gun on the dash and shooting through his windshield. One of the bullets was fired into a patrol car, lodging in the alternator.
"He wanted to go out in blaze of glory and take a cop with him," Ritchie said.
Ritchie hoped to take cover, but was hit by bullets coming through the windshield as he laid across the seat. "The shot went through my lung and I couldn't breath. I laid on the ground and played dead. I was trying to catch my breath. I couldn't breathe."
Ritchie sustained three gunshot wounds, two in the legs and one in the chest. Remarkably, his German shepherd, K-9 Blesk, was unharmed despite the volley of shots.
Seekins kept firing and tried to get help for his friends. "He (Kanalley) faded back into the shadows. He was in dark clothing in the shadows," Seekins said. "I was in dark clothing in the white snow under a street light, so he had the advantage."
Seekins was unable to retrieve his shotgun from the car, and was armed only with his handgun. "One of my rounds hit him in the foot; put him down," Seekins said.
"At this point the calvary was coming," Ritchie said. "He (Kanalley) was getting nervous and went into the wooded area."
Among the "calvary" was Sheriff's Deputy Sgt. Kevin Mack. He was pulling into the trailer park when he heard the words on his police radio: "Officer down."
A year after the encounter, Mack recounted for the US&J what happened next. First, he threw a set of road spikes across the entrance and began his approach with his patrol car's lights turned off.
Soon, he saw a "single subject" walking about 50 yards from the scene. It was dark, the subject wasn't running and Mack was not sure if he was looking at the gunman or another police officer. That's when Kanalley turned and fired his assault rifle.
"He disabled my patrol car with the second shot," Mack recalled. The deputy threw open his door, reached his hand out on the windshield and ducked down, firing nine rounds.
Kanalley dropped to the ground. "I'm thinking, naturally, 'I hit him.' " Mack, who had never before fired his gun except in training, said.
After all the gunplay, Kanalley pointed his AK-47 to his head and fired. But before killing himself, Kanalley had words for Seekins.
"He used some curse words when I shot him in the foot," Seekins said. "He asked why I hadn't shot him in the head. I'm not sure why he asked me that."
The detective wasn't proud of hitting Kanalley in the foot. "We aim to terminate the threat," he said.
Kanalley's body was found with a gunshot to the head. He was wearing a camouflage jacket, blue jeans and boots.
The South Lockport Ambulance was on the scene waiting to transport the injured officers. On the way to Erie County Medical Center, Ritchie was said to have died four times and was resuscitated. "They were just squeezing bags of blood in me," he said. "The doctors were surprised I was able to survive," he said.
One of his legs was nearly blown off, the other leg had a broken bone. One shot severed nerves in his arm. It's something Ritchie deals with every day. Each year it gets a little worse, he said.
Eggert and Ritchie were treated at the ECMC intensive care unit. Ritchie was in intensive care for a week and spent five weeks in the hospital. Rods were installed in his legs, and he spent nearly a year and a half in intense therapy.
At Officer of the Year ceremonies, Eggert said, "Without Scott being there, I'd be dead, and so would Steve. I mean, he threw himself down between me and Jason. If there's a hero out there, it's Scott, even if he doesn't like being called one."

Ben Uri has an impressive history and an international reputation, thanks to its outstanding collection of nearly 1300 artworks including work by Marc Chagall, Frank Auerbach and David Bomberg. Our exhibitions tour around the world and generate widespread national and international press.
Along with our incredible collection and exhibitions, we offer learning programmes to over 25,000 UK schools; our publications and catalogues are in demand across the world; and we have an impressive and influential list of patrons, friends and supporters who are active and interested in our work.
You can find out about our collection and the dedication of the Ben Uri team and its Chief Executive, David Glasser, on the YouTube video in About us.
Ben Uri is nearly a century old. It was founded in 1915, in Gradel's restaurant in Whitechapel, in the East End of London. The name echoes that of the legendary biblical craftsman who created the tabernacle in the Temple of Jerusalem.
The histories of Ben Uri and that of 20th century British art are intertwined; the blossoming of the immigrant generations of Jewish artists was mirrored by the development of modern painting in Britain. It was immigrant Jewish artists who founded Ben Uri and made a significant contribution to its development over its nearly 100 years.
Although Ben Uri's roots are in the East End of London, the winds of change have taken it on a journey across London in search of a permanent home. From Bloomsbury, through to Soho and now to a temporary location in north London, Ben Uri is still looking for a home. Read more about Ben Uri's history.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Thousands of BMX racers from around the world are in Charlotte this weekend competing in the USA BMX Tarheel Nationals at the Charlotte's Hornet's Nest track.
About half of the 48 riders from last August's Olympic Games will compete. They'll race alongside more than a thousand amateurs from 35 states, ages 2 to 70.
Organizers say the economic impact of this event will bring millions of dollars to the Charlotte economy.
It comes just weeks before the Queen City will learn if Charlotte is chosen to host the Summer X Games. Many of the athletes who compete in the Summer X Games got their start on a BMX track.
If you want to check out the action, you can head to the Hornet's Nest at 6301 Beatties Ford Road. Racing kicks off Saturday and continues on Sunday.

Here's why the Bills could use wide receiver Robert Meachem - or someone like him.
They have one of the better one-two running back combinations in the league in Fred Jackson and C.J. Spiller. They have a go-to X-receiver on the outside in Stevie Johnson. They have very capable targets for the middle of the field in slotman David Nelson and tight end Scott Chandler. What they're lacking is the outside guy to stretch the field from the flanker or Z position. With somebody reliable in that spot, the offense all of a sudden has critical mass. Johnson and the middle-of-the-field targets become much harder to defend.
The Bills' starting Z receiver last year averaged only 10.1 yards a catch and produced only two catches of more than 30 yards. It would have helped on third downs, too. The Bills were 28th in third-down conversion percentage.
The Bills have some young guys who might develop and could provide excellent depth in Donald Jones, Marcus Easley and David Clowney. A guy like Meachem would strike more fear into defenses.

'Game of Thrones': The costumes
Image 1 of 30
Cersei and Littlefinger
Michele Clapton is the Emmy-nominated costume designer for HBO's "Game of Thrones." She recently revealed her thoughts about creating clothes for the residents of the Seven Kingdoms (and beyond). "It's also interesting to look at Littlefinger's [Aidan Gillen, left] journey -- he started off very much as a courtier, he was always very organized with his little chain and his notebook, and then suddenly he actually stopped wearing the mantle. He had just little glimpses of turquoise beneath his costume and the slit was cut slightly higher... Slowly you realize he ran brothels. His costumes, just slowly, became a little richer." Here, he walks with Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey).

Quote:Thats great and not good in summer! 120's degrees!What about Illinois?
Quote:Planning on doing more observing in the park. Mesquite Springs campground is a well known place to go, but I am not thrilled about 30 campsites. I'd like to find a site in or near the park which meets my laundry list of criteria. The site should have low horizons, little to none in the way of trees, can be reached in a regular vehicle, is in a black zone, and, is at least two miles (off of the pavement) on a gravel road. Even better is if one can drive out well away from the primary road for solitude. One possible area is in the vicinity of Eureka Dunes. Does anyone have ideas.

For purposes of space and timing, we're putting my review of "Dredd 3D" on line in the Gusto Blog today. Like so:
Two and a half stars.
Karl Urban, Olivia Thirlby, Lena Headey and Wood Harris in Pete Travis' new cinematic reboot of the British comic strip after Sylvester Stallone's 1995 version of it ran afoul of the comic strip's creators.
By Jeff Simon
"It's sink or swim" the Chief Judge tells laconic Judge Dredd about his newbie female partner in "Dredd 3D." "Chuck her into the deep end." Says Judge Dredd to the chief judge with the absurdly robotic delivery that actor Karl Urban uses throughout the movie "It's all the deep end."
Think Ah-nuld, sans Austrian music in "The Terminator" for Urban's delivery. Or maybe even Clayton Moore in "The Lone Ranger."
The deep end, according to British comic strip co-creator John Wagner, is where the Sylvester Stallone version of his creation should have been pitched in 1995. As the original strip's writer (Carlos Ezquierra was the artist), Wagner has given this cinematic reboot his blessing.For the comix community, then, "Dredd" is a big deal. For the rest of the world's action matinee lovers? Not so much. It's mostly the dumb, if elaborate, action movie place where fun and sadism overlap. Sometimes, fun carries the day in "Dredd 3D." Sometimes, the movie's butcher-shop worldview and its sadism may be a bit much for ordinary tastes. Karl Urban plays Judge Dredd. (Somehow "play" doesn't seem the appropriate word but let it pass.) Olivia Thirlby plays the psychic rookie who wants to be admitted to the ranks of Judges in this dystopic future world where 800,000,000 people live in a single mammoth city. Because crime fighting in such congestion is nothing if not an uphill prospect, judges carry all-purpose guns and are authorized to dispense justice (i.e. murder miscreants) on the street any time they jolly well choose.
The bad guys here are led by Lena Headey as a gangster with a scar on her cheek that, so help me, resembles a Nazi Swastika. Some sort of record for un-prettification may have been set there but then Charlize Theron, no doubt, would make sure we all remembered "Monster" if it became a contest. In order to kill the two judges on her case, she's capable of machine gunning into bloody salad an entire floor of innocent bystanders.
In the plot, the two judges are charged with bringing one particular bad guy (Wood Harris) to justice. Think of Westerns where Jimmy Stewart or Jeff Chandler has to bring the renegade Apache back to the fort through hostile territory.
The city, says one turncoat Judge, is just one big meat grinder. People enter at one end. Meat comes out the other. "All we do" he says "is turn the handle."
There are, of course, cynics who would say that's not a bad description of how certain films are made too. Director Pete Travis did a vigorous job of turning the handle. Some of the action is pretty good.
I saw the film in good old-fashioned 2-D. In 3-D, no doubt, the splat of skinned bodies hitting the ground from a project's 75th floor would be much more impressive. So too would all those things that go boom in your face.
Contrary, though, to the film's script, it's all "the shallow end."
Is it ever.

Brian Dawkins spent his first day of retirement at the office.
The veteran safety, who is calling it a career after 16 seasons in the NFL, dropped by Broncos headquarters Tuesday to say his goodbyes and thank the front office for allowing him to play three seasons in Denver after his bitter divorce from the Philadelphia Eagles in 2009.
Dawkins went around the locker room gathering hugs and well wishes and then stopped by the Broncos draft room, where he jokingly covered his eyes, promising not to peek.
Team owner Pat Bowlen presented Dawkins with a framed No. 20 jersey and Dawkins got one last chance to thank general manager Brian Xanders for bringing him to Denver and Broncos boss John Elway for keeping him here last season.
