Decorative 7 1/4" milk glass plate with openwork border of forget-me-nots. The central design features an embossed (raised image) angel or cherub with a lute or mandolin and is unmarked. I have seen it offered in several places as made by Westmoreland, but I have been unable to confirm that myself. It is similar to many plates made by Westmoreland and since Westmoreland made more milk glass than anyone else and for a longer time than anyone else, I think that is a reasonable assumption. Excellent condition with no chips, no cracks, no nicks.
The Westmoreland Glass Company was founded in 1889 in Grapeville, PA. It continued in operation under several owners until 1984.

Chronologically organized chapters facilitate the book's assimilation into most course syllabi. Its selection of documents thoughtfully conveys enduring themes of Mexican history—land and labor, indigenous people, religion, and state formation—while also incorporating recent advances in scholarly research on the frontier, urban life, popular culture, race and ethnicity, and gender. Student-friendly pedagogical features include contextual introductions to each chapter and each reading, lists of key terms and related sources, and guides to recommended readings and Web-based resources.

It entails both a long durée view of Mexican history and a careful sensibility for the diversity of voices and textual sources that are necessary to understand that history. It will engage students and generate fruitful conversations in the classroom and beyond."
—Pablo Piccato, Columbia University
"This artfully selected collection of primary sources takes the student of Mexican history on a fascinating millennium-long journey from the ancient Mayas to today's maquilas.

Ace of Spades
The book Ace of Spades is a memoir by David Matthews that chronicles the life of a man whose father was African-American and whose mother was white and Jewish. It seems that David was always forced to make tough choices, to determine with which group he was to identify. In an essay for the New York Times, he writes of how he was constantly faced with decisions throughout his life, which complicated the smallest of matters - for instance, figuring out which group to sit with during lunch on his first day at a new school. Most of us can relate to that predicament. Lunch time stress was a regular part of my life growing up in a southern town in the 60s and 70s that was slow to embrace minorities (whether black or Jewish or Asian), however few we were at the time.
I want to make sure that if a child is forced to make a choice of identity, it is his or her choice equally to make. But we can only do so if we claim such a child as our own and welcome him into our midst. By doing so perhaps we can teach our children—those who populate the lunchroom during the school day—how to act as well.

I would be curious to learn what the Jewish families of mixed race children feel now looking back on that era of idealism and faith in the human family and dreams of all being accepted that produced those mixed race children–what do they think of the failed hope for our society?
Comment by sharon m — February 24, 2007 @ 9:05 am
While this is more of an American question you are asking rather than a Jewish one, I would note that one of the lead Democratic candidates for president came from such a background. I think that makes quite a statement in and of iteself.
Comment by Rabbi Kerry Olitzky — February 24, 2007 @ 6:45 pm
I am somewhat disheartened with his story…and then I continue to wonder if he was constantly questioned about his 'whiteness' and 'Jewishness' by Jews and he could pass for white, how are the Beta Israel being treated in Israel? Its a very sad and disturbing conclusion one can come to based on his story.

Ecolab To Help One Lucky Restaurant Improve Their Operation Through The $25,000 Clean Makeover Contest
For many, owning a restaurant is a dream come true—industry experts estimate there are more than 300,000 independently owned restaurants across the country. And despite the long hours, hard work and financial risk accompanying that dream, restaurateurs are devoted to serving their customers. To celebrate their entrepreneurial spirit of service, Ecolab is inviting restaurant owners to share their stories for a chance to win a makeover by Ecolab's "Champions of Clean" in the first-ever Ecolab Clean Makeover Contest.
"At Ecolab we're privileged to be part of the Foodservice industry where so many passionate, inspired people create places for us to celebrate the events in our lives, big and small, while enjoying great food," said Nicolas Granucci, Ecolab vice president of Foodservice Marketing. "We want to recognize that contribution by giving away a year's worth of the best Ecolab has to offer to one foodservice operator."
As most in the business will attest, running a restaurant is no picnic. With nearly a million restaurants 1 in the U.S., there's plenty of competition vying for consumer dollars. "Guests definitely have a choice on where to go, and it's up to me to ensure that the guest experience is fulfilled from beginning to end. When I know that sanitation and cleanliness are taken care of, I can stay focused on what I need to be focused on," said Chef Eric Miller, who tested the Ecolab Clean Makeover concept.
"Restaurateurs work very hard and have a tremendous amount to do on a day-to-day basis. Ecolab's commitment is to provide dependable sanitation solutions that give them more time to be creative and enhance the guest experience," said Granucci. "With the Clean Makeover approach we actually send an entire team of experts that we call 'The Champions of Clean' to a customer's operation. They examine every element of a customer's sanitation program and then make a customized recommendation for that customer to achieve the right goals for him or her."

Peter Buffett – on the dualities of giving
By Nrsimhananda das
Dear Mr. Buffett,
"Charity given out of duty, without expectation of return, at the proper time and place, and to a worthy person is considered to be in the mode of goodness. But charity performed with the expectation of some return, or with a desire for fruitive results, or in a grudging mood, is said to be charity in the mode of passion. And charity performed at an impure place, at an improper time, to unworthy persons, or without proper attention and respect is said to be in the mode of ignorance." – Gita 17.20-22
So, charity performed in passion and ignorance may actually look good externally, but, in essence we are simply perpetuating the problem. Why? because these lower modes keep us entangled in bodily conception and materialistic way of life. Charity in goodness can be either material (mixed with passion and ignorance) or spiritual (pure).
The root cause of all maladies in this world is bodily conception of life. As long as people are in bodily consciousness, regardless of how much charity is given, the maladies will remain and even grow. This is the fruit of operating in the lower modes of passion and ignorance. The fault of charity in material consciousness (in any of the three modes) is that it doesn't address the root of the problem.
I offer you some obvious questions and answers:
What is the point of donating to various charities?
The purpose of charity is two-fold – purifying one's self (i.e. detachment from matter and attachment to spirit) and faciliating the spiritual growth of others.
If all you are doing is throwing money at the problem vs. getting to the root of the matter you are no better than if you gave nothing or just slightly better.
Whimsical charity is no good. It is the responsibility of the person giving charity to understand the purpose and to learn the proper way of giving. Such an approach leads to enlightenment.
Is there a more effective way to deal with many of the problems that produce charities? Changing policies perhaps? Taking action? Shifting societal practices? Enforcing new laws?
If you actively cultivate spiritual knowledge and grow spiritually, that's the best way to address problems and to bring about change or transformation in others. All kinds of nice inspirations to help others will come when you live a life in accordance with the laws of nature and that is spiritually progressive.
By giving to some charities over others does that make you bias and in truth negate the altruism behind the act altogether?
This an inherent awkwardness of acting on the material platform. You take one side, you become inimical to the other; you please someone, you displease someone else; you become addicted to success, you cannot deal with failure; and so on. The good news is that the path revealed in the Bhagavad Gita is trancendental to this duality. Following the wisdom therein, you are protected from materially-motivated bias and prejudice.
A person is said to be established in self-realization and is called a yogi [or mystic] when he is fully satisfied by virtue of acquired knowledge and realization. Such a person is situated in transcendence and is self-controlled. He sees everything — whether it be pebbles, stones or gold — as the same. – Gita 6.8
I'll be happy to send you a copy of the Bhagavad Gita so you can do your own study. Each individual who reads that sacred conversation will have a unique experience. I don't pretend to be able to give you any magic formulas. However, I will be privileged if you would like to converse about the transcendent advice offered in this sacred text translated by a pure devotee who has no other interest that in the welfare of the people in general. That includes you, me, and everyone else.
YS, Nrsimhananda das aka David Shapiro

4 Responses to "Peter Buffett – on the dualities of giving"
There are people working hard at showing examples of other ways to live in a functioning society that truly creates greater prosperity for all (and I don't mean more people getting to have more stuff).
Money should be spent trying out concepts that shatter current structures and systems that have turned much of the world into one vast market. Is progress really Wi-Fi on every street corner? No. It's when no 13-year-old girl on the planet gets sold for sex. But as long as most folks are patting themselves on the back for charitable acts, we've got a perpetual poverty machine.
It's an old story; we really need a new one."
The above is actually just the end of the article published by Peter Buffett, one of the sons of Warren Buffett, in the Opinion Pages of the New-York Times:
The Charitable-Industrial Complex
By PETER BUFFETT
Published: July 26, 2013
"I had spent much of my life writing music for commercials, film and television and knew little about the world of philanthropy as practiced by the very wealthy until what I call the big bang happened in 2006. That year, my father, Warren Buffett, made good on his commitment to give nearly all of his accumulated wealth back to society. In addition to making several large donations, he added generously to the three foundations that my parents had created years earlier, one for each of their children to run.
Early on in our philanthropic journey, my wife and I became aware of something I started to call Philanthropic Colonialism. I noticed that a donor had the urge to "save the day" in some fashion. People (including me) who had very little knowledge of a particular place would think that they could solve a local problem. Whether it involved farming methods, education practices, job training or business development, over and over I would hear people discuss transplanting what worked in one setting directly into another with little regard for culture, geography or societal norms.
Often the results of our decisions had unintended consequences. But now I think something even more damaging is going on.
Because of who my father is, I've been able to occupy some seats I never expected to sit in. Inside any important philanthropy meeting, you witness heads of state meeting with investment managers and corporate leaders. All are searching for answers with their right hand to problems that others in the room have created with their left. There are plenty of statistics that tell us that inequality is continually rising. At the same time, according to the Urban Institute, the nonprofit sector has been steadily growing. Between 2001 and 2011, the number of nonprofits increased 25 percent. Their growth rate now exceeds that of both the business and government sectors. It's a massive business, with approximately $316 billion given away in 2012 in the United States alone and more than 9.4 million employed.
"Philanthropy has become the "it" vehicle to level the playing field and has generated a growing number of gatherings, workshops and affinity groups.
As more lives and communities are destroyed by the system that creates vast amounts of wealth for the few, the more heroic it sounds to "give back." It's what I would call "conscience laundering" — feeling better about accumulating more than any one person could possibly need to live on by sprinkling a little around as an act of charity.
But this just keeps the existing structure of inequality in place. The rich sleep better at night, while others get just enough to keep the pot from boiling over. Nearly every time someone feels better by doing good, on the other side of the world (or street), someone else is further locked into a system that will not allow the true flourishing of his or her nature or the opportunity to live a joyful and fulfilled life.
And with more business-minded folks getting into the act, business principles are trumpeted as an important element to add to the philanthropic sector. I now hear people ask, "what's the R.O.I.?" when it comes to alleviating human suffering, as if return on investment were the only measure of success. Micro-lending and financial literacy (now I'm going to upset people who are wonderful folks and a few dear friends) — what is this really about? People will certainly learn how to integrate into our system of debt and repayment with interest. People will rise above making $2 a day to enter our world of goods and services so they can buy more. But doesn't all this just feed the beast?
I'm really not calling for an end to capitalism; I'm calling for humanism.
Often I hear people say, "if only they had what we have" (clean water, access to health products and free markets, better education, safer living conditions). Yes, these are all important. But no "charitable" (I hate that word) intervention can solve any of these issues. It can only kick the can down the road.
My wife and I know we don't have the answers, but we do know how to listen. As we learn, we will continue to support conditions for systemic change.
It's time for a new operating system. Not a 2.0 or a 3.0, but something built from the ground up. New code."
"What we have is a crisis of imagination. Albert Einstein said that you cannot solve a problem with the same mind-set that created it. Foundation dollars should be the best "risk capital" out there.
There are people working hard at showing examples of other ways to live in a functioning society that truly creates greater prosperity for all (and I don't mean more people getting to have more stuff).
Money should be spent trying out concepts that shatter current structures and systems that have turned much of the world into one vast market. Is progress really Wi-Fi on every street corner? No. It's when no 13-year-old girl on the planet gets sold for sex. But as long as most folks are patting themselves on the back for charitable acts, we've got a perpetual poverty machine.
It's an old story; we really need a new one."
Here ends the article.
As a matter of fact, I thought that before trying to give some lesson to others, we also have to take into consideration what they have to say, all the more in this case, when they are in a position to give a lot more in charity than we may be.

Ringing Christmas Bells for Those in Need
Jessica Welter, standing on the left, and Casie Uthe, members of the Lyman Youth Group took their turn ringing bells and collecting donations for the Salvation Army to assist those in need during the holiday season. Texi and Mesa Garnos (Quint and Cheyenne) add change to the collection bucket Friday, Dec. 4 during the Presho Hometown Holiday Open House. See more photos on page 2.

Disney's Mix Max PMP For Kids
<img src="http://tctechcrunch2011.files.wordpress.com/2007/01/MMC slot, 2.2-inch display and a movie playback rate of 30FPS. Not too bad for something that only costs $99. Most likely this thing will play back all of Disney's movies, available for separate purchase instead of being ripped from the DVDs and VHS cassettes you already own. The player plays WMV, MP3/WMA, and JPEGs. Read More
Suunto t3: It's Got it All
We like Suunto – they make a nice watch with lots of features and have a cetain style that makes their watches look less like wrist computers than dinner plates with numbers. The t3 includes a heart-rate monitor, pedometer, as well as real-time calories burned read-out. It's about $169.99 with a black face and $149.99 for a standard LCD face. Pedometer and heartrate pods sold… Read More
Universal Drops Blu-ray Support
, one of which is a movie about an ugly beast who gets angry, and the other about a Marvel comic book character. As one of the only studios to support HD DVD directly, Universal is putting all its chips into one can of salsa, whereas a few others are doing both formats. In any case, this is the first we've heard of a studio dropping support for a next-gen format. A sign of things to… Read More
For Programmers Only: Neuros OSD Linux PVR That You Have To Program Yourself
Nothing as sophisticated or polished as TiVo or Windows Media Center, this Neuros OSD Linux Media Recorder has users jumping in coding functionality, which eventually gets shared all other users. Ludicrous for someone who just wants to make sure they don't miss the Colbert Report, but open source coders, contributers, and users are all over this type of thing. There are only 200… Read More
Apple iTunes 7 Music Purchases Not Working on SLVR and ROKR Phones?
Among the various problems users have encountered with the new iTunes 7 software, one of the worst has to be the fact that the iTunes Music Store purchases aren't working in Motorola ROKR and SLVR phones. The songs that have been ripped from CDs or downloaded as MP3s from elsewhere on the web work fine, it's just the DRM tracks from iTMS that don't work. No fix has been… Read More
Name that Squid
Thanks to the amazing Bryce Durbin, we're lucky enough to have our own jolly mascot, the Blue Squid or Blue Goo or Whatever You Want to Call Him. However, the poor soul doesn't have a name. In an effort to remedy that, we're asking you, readers, to send us your best names for the Blue Goo. Creativity is a plus – write the proposed name on a birthday cake, on a shirt, or… Read More
Samsung Trace Quick Look
Feast your gadget-starved eyes on the Samsung Trace aka the T519 from T-Mobile. It's thin, light, and magical. It's very SLVR-like – which is what T-Mo is going for here – and very inexpensive ($99). Unfortunately, it's made of Samsung plastic and feels pretty chintzy but if you're looking for something to slip between the pages of a book to hold your place… Read More
Xbox 360 Will Support 1080p, Upscale Your DVDs and Games
<img src="http://tctechcrunch2011.files.wordpress.com/2007/01/1080i. Also, HD DVD will most likely be played back at 1080p when the HDMI cable is released – or just on their component cables now, we're not sure yet. The system should also be upscaling your current DVD movies to 1080p as well, which will be a welcome addition for most households with HDTVs but no upscaling… Read More

Floating Windmills Are "Invisible" From Shore
I never really thought of windmills as being something that I couldn't bear to look at, so I'm not completely sure why everyone's excited about these new windmills from MIT. The concept is simple enough, they want to tether large windmills to concrete blocks way out at sea. This way, nobody would have to stare at them dumbly windmilling. The National Renewable Energy… Read More
Wireless Color Baby Monitor with Infrared Lets You Watch Your Baby, Paris Hilton, in the Dark
Not only does this baby monitor have sound and video – thanks to its camera and 1.5-inch color LCD – you can also switch it to infrared mode and watch your baby when the lights are off. The monitor works on the 2.4GHz frequency, or what we like to call the rush hour frequency, where WiFi, Bluetooth and various other devices are fighting for dominance. It's powered via AC… Read More
Bob Iger Confirms iTV Hard Drive
During a Conference yesterday, Disney CEO Bob Igor spilled a key detail about Apple's forthcoming iTV: it has a hard drive. While he didn't state how large the hard drive was, he did explain that it would be able to store media directly within the unit. Iger see's the iTV as having a significant impact: It felt like a game changer to me in many respects… What I like… Read More

Zenum's Opus Opteris Pocket PC Smartphone Looks Great
<img src="http://tctechcrunch2011.files.wordpress.com/2007/01/1900 MHz GSM, a 2 megapixel camera, WiFi, and a 2.5-inch screen. All pretty reasonable features for a phone of this size to have, despite its advanced design and the fact that there are no candid shots of it in existence, just mockups. Following the link on their page, we find out it's designed by Jaren Goh, the same… Read More
Sony Ericsson P990i Available on Amazon
Sure it costs $649.99, but isn't that worth it? No? Yea probably not, but it's still a pretty sexy beast. The P990i features tri-band GSM/GPRS, 802.11b WiFi, Bluetooth 2.0 and an FM tuner.

The Rocket Bag
At first glance, the Rocket Bag just looks like another men's bag. Don't be fooled though, the Rocket Bag is more like THE men's bag of the year. Designed by the infamous Bill Amberg, the Rocket Bag gets its name from the bag's side panels, which have a rocket shape on them (DUH!). The bag features anodized handles and metal feet on the bottom of the bag to allow it… Read More
Geared Keyboard Prevents Typos?
Don't you hate typos? Our editors like them – it gives them something to do – but the new Elecom TK-U09FG keyboard due for release next month in Japan might put them out of work. Instead of a standard or scissor action, each key is "geared", meaning it's got a pair of rack and pinions that make the key depress evenly across the face, so the center and… Read More
T-Mo Drops Two New Sexy, Sexy Samsungs
T-Mobile just launched two slim Samsungs in a couple different configurations, the T619 clamshell, and the T629 slider. The mid-range phones share similar features, offering a 1.3 Megapixel cameras, Bluetooth, T-Mobile Web, and include Yahoo!, MSN, and AIM messengers.

Zune Caught
Seattle must be dripping with Zunes because our Bothan spies – many of whom died while taking these pictures – grabbed a Zune in the wild. That's right, folks.

I would estimate that these things will be in stores at the end of October or else the merry pranksters who sent us… Read More

Digi International And Wind River Collaborate To Create New Class Of Cloud-Connected Wireless M2M Solutions Based On Intel Architecture
DESIGN WEST – Digi International (NASDAQ: DGII) and Wind River, today announced a collaboration to deliver a new family of cloud-connected wireless machine-to-machine (M2M) solutions. The M2M Solution Builder kits will include a combination of hardware, software, cloud connectivity and access to tailored M2M development services. This complete end-to-end solution, tailored for performance- and connectivity-driven applications, dramatically simplifies the creation of an M2M solution.
It is expected that by 2015, intelligent M2M systems will account for more than one-third of the volume of all embedded systems worldwide, according to IDC*. From real-time traffic data communicated to a vehicle's GPS, to remote health monitoring systems transmitting data to a doctor's computer, to smart meters transmitting data on utility usage, the spectrum of ways in which intelligence from remote machines can and will be used is vast. With these possibilities come opportunities for companies to use this data to become more efficient, cut operational costs, improve customer satisfaction and create new revenue streams.
"We are excited to work closely with Wind River and Intel to create differentiated smart device solutions," said Larry Kraft, senior vice president of global sales and marketing at Digi International. "In addition, the close relationship with Wind River allows us to offer customers a complete and field-proven software solution for smart connected devices."
"The M2M industry is in need of a complete end-to-end solution to accelerate market adoption," said Jim Robinson, general manager of operations and marketing for intelligent systems at Intel. "Complete solutions from industry leaders like Digi and Wind River will allow developers and OEM's to quickly build connected products and cloud-enabled services with confidence.""Wind River's value proposition is built on streamlining and supporting the enablement of M2M services with our leading software and middleware, complemented by our extensive hardware and software M2M partner ecosystem," said Roger Williams, vice president of alliances and business development at Wind River. "The integration of the iDigi Device Cloud will allow customers to build secure and cloud-enabled M2M solutions with Wind River software, adding cloud-based data analytics capabilities and remote device management to new and existing applications. The seamless integration of cloud-connected services and applications is a natural extension of Wind River's proven software and services for smart connected devices."

EconoMeter: Will rising food prices hurt recovery?
In the longer run (year) as long as supply curves slope upward farmers will respond to higher prices by producing more.
Gary London, The London Group
Answer: No
At least not in the U.S., where at-home food consumption represents only 7 percent of expenditures in the average household. (Although the percent is much higher in other, less prosperous countries.)
Most households will conserve in other areas, particularly in travel as it is gas prices that are the major concern: food price increases are a residual of the increase in fuel costs.
However, this might be an opportunity in many households to engage in behavior modification such as portion control, since the American obesity rate is the highest on the globe.
Alan Gin, University of San Diego
Answer: Yes
The economic recovery is still fragile, so anything that takes money out of the hand of consumers is a potential threat. If people have to spend more on food, they have less to spend on discretionary items such as clothing, restaurant meals, services, etc., which would hurt sales and employment in those sectors.
Although I don't expect it to happen in the United States, a potential worry is that rising global food prices could cause social unrest in some countries. The recent crisis in Egypt was partially sparked by food shortages and a sharp rise in food prices.
Norm Miller, CoStar Group
Answer: No
Any time we have rapidly rising prices for necessities (food, oil, clothing) it poses hardships disproportionately on lower and middle income households but it is not a SERIOUS threat to the recovery.
Rapid price changes shift demand as we try and substitute other goods, so what hurts one sector can actually help another sector of the economy.
The key is that we in the U.S. must be the ones producing some of those alternative goods. U.S. cotton farmers, as an example, are doing well. The key is to have an adaptable less regulated economy so it can react.
Dan Seiver, San Diego State University
Answer: No
Rising food prices will hurt food consumers all over the world, and will make it more difficult for poor people to eat an adequate diet.
Rising food prices will also slow the economy recovery a bit in the U.S., although they will help farmers, and will contribute to a nascent bubble in U.S. farmland prices.
But food consumption is too small a proportion of household budgets to actually derail U.S. economic growth.

Consumers who unwittingly buy a diseased animal from a pet store could get their money back under a measure approved by the Illinois Senate.
It's similar to someone who buys a jalopy under false pretenses. But in this case, the "lemon" isn't a car.
It's a puppy. Or a kitten.
Someone who buys a dog or cat could get a refund, exchange their pet for a new one, or seek reimbursement for veterinarians' fees.
But only if the pet came from a pet shop. That bothers Republican Senator Dale Righter of Mattoon, as those dogs can cost $1,000.

If you are interested in the Personal Learning Scholarship Account for the school year starting August 2015, please click here to sign up for the interest list so you may receive application updates.
A different kind of scholarship: The PLSA is different than other state scholarships in that it allows parents to personalize the education of their children with unique abilities by directing money toward a combination of programs and approved providers. These include schools, therapists, specialists, curriculum, technology—even a college savings account.
In addition, families receiving a PLSA through Step Up For Students will have access to a Personal Learning Plan Advisor. These advisors have several decades of experience working with PLSA eligible students and will be available to answer any questions families may have about choosing the services that best meet their children's individual needs. Families will also have access to a free online tool that will help them oversee their children's progress.
Is your child eligible? This scholarship is for Florida students in kindergarten through 12th grade with one of the following disabilities: autism, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, Prader-Willi syndrome, Spina bifida, Williams syndrome or Intellectual Disability (severe cognitive impairment). Also, kindergarten students deemed "high risk" because of developmental delays may be eligible. Click here to read the statutory definitions.
The students need either an Individual Education Plan (IEP) from a Florida school district or a formal diagnosis from a licensed physician or psychologist. Students entering kindergarten must be 5 on or before Sept 1. Students entering first grade must be 6 on or before Sept 1. Students can participate in the PLSA scholarship as part of home education, however they cannot be enrolled in a public school or be receiving any other state-sponsored scholarship (McKay Scholarship or the Florida Tax Credit Scholarship).
Is there an application fee for the PLSA: No. There is not an application fee for the PLSA scholarship.
How much is the scholarship worth? The scholarship amount varies according to grade, county and disability, but the average amount for most students in 2014-15 is $10,000 (and may increase in 2015-16). Students with the most severe disabilities are eligible for a higher scholarship amount. Click here to view the scholarship amount by grade and county.
How many scholarships are available? For the first year, 2014-15, the state is providing enough money to support roughly 1,800 students. The scholarships will be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis.
How you can spend the money in your child's account: Parents can use the account to pay for a variety of approved services and materials. These may include tuition and fees at an eligible private school, applied behavior analysis services, speech-language pathologists, occupational therapy, physical therapy, services from listening and spoken language specialists, full time private tutoring, virtual programs or online courses, exam fees, contract services from school districts, contributions to the state prepaid college program, instructional materials such as digital devices and assistive technology, and curriculum materials.Click here to view details on approved products and services, and to search for eligible specialized services providers and schools.
How long the scholarship lasts: Students can continue to receive scholarship until they graduate from high school, reach age 22 or return to public school. Money in the account can roll over from one year to the next, and the account can remains in place until a student graduates from a postsecondary education institution, such as college or technical institute, or has gone four consecutive years after high school with no further education. At that point, the account is closed and any remaining money reverts to the state.
Can I still home educate my child? Yes, the PLSA can be used as an educational tool for parents who choose to educate their child in their own home.

Please be assured that the State is aggressively defending the case, and we encourage you to move forward with your application.

'The Way, Way Back' trailer: Sam Rockwell and Steve Carell star in Sundance summer comedy -- VIDEO
We've seen Steve Carell do funny. We've seen him play crazy. We've seen him do awkward. But in Sundance favorite The Way, Way Back, Carell plays mean, and he's the one picking on the awkward guy: his girlfriend's teenage son, Duncan (Liam James).
The Way, Way Back follows Duncan through his summer break that's rather nightmarish whenever he's with his mom (Toni Collette) and her boyfriend, but has bright moments whenever he's at the local water park, where he strikes up a friendship with one of the slacker employees (Sam Rockwell).
The trailer shows off a good chunk of Way, Way Back's impressive cast, including Allison Janney, Maya Rudolph, Rob Corddry, and co-director/co-writer Jim Rash.
