Handout E Examples of Coordinated Set of Activities Instruction Related Services Community Experiences Employment Other Post School Living Objectives Functional Vocational Evaluation Acquisition of Daily Living Skills Introduction Transition services include, but are not limited to instruction, related services, community experiences, integrated employment including supported employment, development of employment and other post-school adult living objectives, functional vocational evaluations and if appropriate, the acquisition of daily living skills. The following information must be included in the "transition services" section of a student's IEP to be compliant with IDEA: For each measurable postsecondary goal there is evidence of at least one transition service/activity associated with meeting the postsecondary goal. There can be one transition service/activity that is associated with all of the student's measurable postsecondary goals. "Associated with," means focused on improving the student's academic and functional achievement so they can meet their postsecondary goal(s). In identifying a coordinated set of activities, the IEP team (including the student and parents as equal members) should ask themselves the following questions: What services, supports or programs does the student currently need? What services, supports or programs will the student need in order to achieve their measurable postsecondary goals and to ensure success as they enter the adult world? Is the student linked to the needed post school services (agencies), supports or programs before they leave the school setting? Transition services in the IEP should include the following concepts: Developing an outcome-oriented plan for adult life that addresses, plans for and coordinates, beginning at age 14 (in WI) through the last years of school, what the student will learn while still in school and do following graduation or exiting from high school. Making sure that this long range thinking and the resulting IEP is based on the student's strengths, preferences and interests regarding their measurable postsecondary goals. Designing a program with a coordinated set of activities addressing each of the areas of: instruction, related services, community experiences, employment or other post school adult living objectives and if appropriate, acquisition of daily living skills and functional vocational evaluation. (Storms, O'Leary and Williams, 2000) 2 This booklet was developed to assist educators, parents and students in writing and implementing a coordinated set of activities in the transition services of the IEP. It includes a multitude of suggested activities that will be very useful when planning a student's transition from high school. Keep in mind these are activities that specific team members (including students and parents) are responsible for completing while the student is still in high school to help them be successful after they leave. 3 Instruction The following listed activities/strategies can be a formal or informal imparting of knowledge or skills that a student needs to receive in specific areas to complete needed courses, succeed in the general curriculum and gain needed skills. The activities/strategies can include, but are not limited to, such things as: 1. Collect information regarding the student's desired postsecondary educational involvement 2. Investigate graduation status and follow-up 3. Visit college campuses and meet with student support services 4. Enrollment in a tech-prep program 5. Enrollment in a cooperative education course 6.

Take a driver's education class (either in high school if available, or through private driving school) 5 Related Services Activities/strategies in this area should consider the current and projected related service needs of the student. This area of the transition services is not for specifying the needed related services for the next school year. Related services for the coming school year should be addressed in another section of the IEP. Rather, this context of related services has to do with determining if the related service needs will continue beyond school. If so, the IEP should identify who or what agency might provide those services, help identify how the student and parent can access those services and connect the student and parent to whoever will provide those services before the student leaves the school system. This type of planning, discussion, and identification of activities/strategies should help make the move from the school acting as one related service provider to another adult agency or service provider as seamless as possible for students and families. 1. Rehabilitation counseling 2. Orientation and mobility services 3. Linkages to adult agencies or providers 4.

Jesse Ventura trial: Defense attorney says punchout story was embarrassing and true
ST. PAUL -- Laura deShazo didn't have many doubts about what she saw the night of Oct. 12, 2006: Jesse Ventura got hit in a bar fight with another man.
But some details of her account — particularly where the former Minnesota governor was standing when she saw the incident — don't match with other versions of the story that prompted Ventura's defamation lawsuit against a former Navy SEAL sniper and author.

Aspirin also works to perk up cut flowers in their vase for an extra few days - trim the stems, use clean water and drop half or a whole soluble aspirin in - dpendent upon the size of the vase.
Yes, it is good for aiing plants outdoors and in the greenhouse too though I tend to regard it as a last ditch effort when pruning, correcting water and feeding have failed.
Plenty of glavanised planters about, made for purpose or, like yours, recycled. all good, as long as you have plenty of drainage holes in it.
I've got the goldern version, rate of spring growth is phenomenal! Does need keeping under control though ........... it fights with my vine in what we call 'brewers corner'.
If you cut lilac back in October, you cut off all the wood upon which it could flower the following Spring. The time to prune lilacs is immediately after flowering, so that they have a chance to have hardened shoots for the next year upon whch they will flower.
If you cut it back very hard, i.e. ground level, you will get lods of smaller 'trunks' instead of the central one I am assuming you have now. Some folk like this and do so, you just want to think about it before you begin.
Some plants do take a long time to begin to flower, much will depend whether it is a grafted tree or not. We have a clematis that took 7 years before it fldowered, and does so prolifically every year now. Patience is often a virtue in gardening. 4 years is not long in a trees life, especially if it is not a grafted specimen.
...... warmth and light - and of the two I always feel it is lack of light that keeps things back far more than lack of warmth. Deep grey wet skies do not allow anything to grow well, however willing it is. My peas, which should be a metre or so high (bush ones) are barely 6 inches, and flowering bravely, but nothing much is going to happen without more lght.
I think many commercial food growers are going to be in deep troube this year, unless we suddenly get a few weeks of sunshine and light - high food prices this year in the autumn I am afraid.
Just about everything this horrible so far year! Veggies that won't grow, peas that are flowering but are only 8 inches high instead of over a meter or so (Some mixed measurements there but I guess we all know what I mean!), beans that are twining up their poles but look anaemic and virtually leafless, strawberries with still hard green fruits if any at all, etc. etc., etc.!!
Ooops, that does sound like clematis wilt - something to which the summer flowering clematis are prone. As far as I know no-one knows why, possibly a fungal organism. As Berghill says, cut down deeply, new soil or compost and it will probably throw up new shoots, maybe some even this year as the weather is so pecuiar - many do recover but not all - good luck with it.
so agree with weejenny, strimmers seem to last an incredicbly short time - and we don't have a particularly large area to strim, just around edges and pots. Such a pity Robot's hubs wasn't able to continue with his ideas, may have worked better than the current ones that's for sure.
Thunderstorm stopped the Olympic torch run in our town!! Just back from a fairly sunny 10 days in the Netherlands, not stopped raining much here since.
Just about everything battered and sad - the baskets will come down today till this goes over - if it ever does. Some thing still standing, alliums looking stunningly good, foxgloves also, geum good - columbines lying around as are the 'tame' umbillifers. Some clematis justl lying in a heap, others not too bad. Grass long and sodden, likely to get alot longer before it an be cut. Very tall fountain grass looking lovely but virtually blocking the path with wet flower heads, in fact the path looks more like an assault course with flattening plants. Part of my tall buddlea has broken off, probably wind but may be pigeons which never seem to know what branches will bear their weight - stupid horrible things.

Been on Atkins for 6 months. Great results. No flour food so my carbs are pretty low. BUT, I occasionally eat a cup of jam for a treat. I know it's 100% sugar which is bad for Atkins. I feel ok. Does my body care if I go days with little to no carbs and than dump a load into my stomache? I am at 10% body fat now and am shooting for 6% this summer. Only 8lbs more which should be easy.
Why on earth would you want your body fat to be so low????
Body fat performs necessary functions, is a store of essential vitamins and hormones, and is important to have should you get ill and need stores to draw upon.
Isn't the goal to stay healthy?
Sugar feeds cancer. Sugar causes yeast/fungal overgrowth which is being suspected in many "cancer" scares.
Sugar is a grain. Causes health issues. White over processed foods are a sugar/glucose that can cause type 2 diabetes.
Why does ANYONE bother with it? Do NOT buy into the fake sugars either.
Either use organic leaf stevia or xylitol(can harm pets, tho) or raw organic local honey SPARINGLY!!!
No more CORN. NO MORE SOY!! NO CANOLA. NO WHITE JUNK.
NO FAST FOOD. NO more. be healthy.
I use a stevia sugar blend that Domino makes...the sugar helps mellow the stevia taste, so although there is some sugar in it, you do not have the chemicals in artificial sweeteners. This works for me, as far as reducing sugar intake and for calorie reduction

Simmons Legend Plush Firm and Simmons Lucetta (Sleepy's name)
Anyone own the Legend Plush or Simmons Lucetta (World Class)? I own a Stearns and Foster (primary residence) and just replaced a Freedom Parkway (Mattress Discounters) due to sagging after 14 months! My husband and I are lightweights - I weigh 115#, he weights 180#. My side was sagging 1/2" more than his side -go figure! :) I am considering these two mattresses (king in the Legend, two queens in the Lucetta) for a second home.
Have had Simmons mattresses in the past and thought I would try this Legend, but wanted to toss this out there to GW for your input. Thanks.
We bought the Simmons Comforpedic Phenom Plush from Sleepy's a few months ago and so far it's been great. I'm not sure if it's merely the hot weather on the East Coast or not, but it has slept a little hot for me lately, but only a little. My DH doesn't notice it at all, so it could be just me. I occasionally have lower back problems, but not with this mattress.

BaByliss Pro 30 Roller Setter
We know you want the goods as soon as possible, which is why orders received by 3pm ET leave our warehouse the very same day. We'll send you an email that day to confirm shipment and the email will include your tracking information.
Our warehouse is closed Saturday & Sunday, so orders received after 3pm ET on Fridays will not ship out until Monday.
TiciaIrvine, CaliforniaThese Are The Best Hot Rollers Out ThereThe best Hot Rollers I have ever used. You get 30 rollers, with different sizes. They heat up hotter then most out there, without burning your hands or hair, but hot enough to hold even the hardest to curl hair. I know because I have very long hair. I had a woman recently ask me what I use to make my long hair stay nicely curled, and I directed her to Folica.com site and these BaByliss Pro 30 Roller Setters. They are the only rollers out on the market that you can find 30 rollers in one set and they get hot enough for the curls to last.1 out of 1 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

Why Deadline Is the Troll We Can't Ignore
[Forgive me if I begin here a little basic for some of you.] They're called the "trades," for the uninitiated out there. They aren't magical arcane scrolls or anything. In fact, odds are good there's one or several or several dozen related to your job. A "trade" is simply a publication that covers the news and relevant events of a particular industry and/or profession. Plumbers, baristas, waiters, welders. They all have them. It just so happens the trades covering the…

Hey, folks. Live from Morgan Freeman's half-bath, Campbell Award winning author Mur Lafferty and I are back with a brand new episode of Ditch Diggers, our NSFW podcast about writing as a job. In this episode Mur and I talk about awards, specifically the Hugos, and what their practical value is to your career as a writer. We even have statistics. That's right, shit just got real.

Hey, folks. I'm going to keep this short and to the point. Brand Gamblin is known to many of you. He's a podcaster and author of some considerable talent. He created the truly delightful Calls for Cthulhu podcast and has written novels like Tumbler, Discount Miracles, and The Hidden Institute (which features the fictional sport of bear polo, for my money a better fake game than quidditch). Brand is also part of the team I assembled a couple of years…

While Willow Smith launched a career on hair whipping, Kat Graham's video for Put Your Graffiti On Me gives the youngster a run for her coif-crazy money with Graham werkin' her ponytail like nobodies business. With a neon-infused wardrobe that includes colour blocking bustiers, high-waisted shorts and a full body leopard suit (kudos on pulling that one off, Kat!), Graham has quickly cemented herself as a contender in the heavily saturated pop charts in 2012.
Showing off the dancing chops that have previously landed her spots in music videos for Akon's Lonely and Justin Bieber and Usher's Somebody to Love, Graham and her team of backup dancers keep the energy level high throughout the video with their Rhythm Nation-inspired choreography.
Put Your Graffiti On Me is Graham's first single after announcing the details of her deal with A&M Octone Records on YouTube on February 2. If this video is any indication of where Graham is heading with Octone Records I think we'll be seeing a lot more from the singer and not just every Friday night as Bonnie Bennet on The Vampire Diaries.
Watch Kat Graham in her video for Put Your Graffiti On Me below!
Check out a gallery from the music vid below!

Have any extra Venus Flytrap seeds or plants?
Hi! I am new to the forum, and am very interested in Venus Flytraps. I wonder whether anyone has any seeds with which they would be willing to part? Or any plants they would want to sell for a reasonable price? I have read about the plants and really want to give them a try, plus I homeschool my three children and am always looking for fun and educational projects for us to do. I could trade some "hens & chicks" (the succulent plant, not actual animals! :) or aloe vera if anyone wants to trade, or would be willing to send a postage-paid envelope or pay a reasonable price. I'm looking forward to participating in the forum and learning a lot from you all! Thanks!
Do you happen to have drosera regia? I'm interested in that one.
In terms of venus fly traps, I just bought a dc-xl, and a b-52 which are known to be some of the largest venus fly traps out there.
One recommendation in getting venus fly traps that I have is to first learn about how to take care of them, and also to take your time in choosing the types that you want. I personally like having huge traps so I went with the biggest species out there.

We have an "older" Cat5e network in the house, and we have yet to max it out, even though we stream multiple, sometimes 5 simultaneous channels at once, raw HD TV from HTPC where it is decrypted.
These speeds become more of the bragging rights for most people.
6 TV's in the house with Verizon FiOS and we only pay $4.99/month to connect all 6 of them. Thanks to Ceton InfiniTV and Windows Media Center.
Do devices even take advantage of the new standard? I haven't heard of any devices (i.e. computers or smartphones) touting the new standard.

Are there even tests on these products yet? I would imagine the best throughput will probably happen when the router and the receiver are centimeters apart, and it's probably maybe 50%, if even that, of the speed advertised. Once you throw distance and a wall or 2 between these things, the throughput will drop drastically.
And no way will the bandwidth of wireless ever match wire. Even if you had the best condition and manage to hit GB speed with wireless, that bandwidth is split between ALL connected devices. After you add the 2nd computer, bandwidth to each is now 1/2 to each computer, and so on. That is not so with wire connection at all. Your standard 24-port gigabit switch has 48 Gigbit/sec switching capability I would definitely wire the house. It will take a while before wireless has that kind of capacity and reliability.
Remember to share the love! Give reps to the OP and thumb up the deal.

The hotel location is convenient to Rt 295 and is one of a dozen name brand hotels in the area.
We reserved a 2 bed single room plus a rollaway bed for one night. I confirmed this with the hotel directly and got a very good rate using AAA.
Upon checkin, we were told that we could not have a rollaway bed due to it being a fire hazard. After a "brief discussion", we were upgraded to a king suite with a sofa bed that could accommodate a rollaway bed which was a reasonable solution.
We got to the room and it was really nice except that the sofa was just a sofa and not a bed.
Eventually we just asked for an extra set of sheets and one of us slept on the couch.
For one night, this wasn't a really big deal considering that the room was, otherwise, very nice. Also, Pierre at the front desk handled the situation as best as he could.
However, if the person on the phone had told us that we couldn't fit a rollaway bed in the room that we booked, I would have booked a different room or a different hotel altogether.

Wonky installation of a hot-cold filtration faucet?
Has anyone ever installed a hot/cold filtration faucet? I know Waterstone and Westbrass make them. We just had a Westbrass put in, and it seems to operate oddly.
Under the sink we have a Quick & Hot tank, and a water filter in a white casing. When you turn the hot lever at the sink, you do get very hot water. If, however, you turn on only the cold lever, you get . . . nothing.
The plumber then explained that the way the thing worked, you turn on the hot tap if you want hot. If you want cold filtered water, you also turn on the hot tap. And THEN you turn on the cold tap. Sure enough, when you do that, the stream of hot turns to cold.
But seriously? Is that how these things are supposed to work? Or do I need to call in a different plumber? Thanks in advance.

ALEXANDRIA, VA -- (Marketwire) -- 11/06/12 -- Phase2 Technology, a global leader in web design and development, has announced that it is part of the Aquilent team (http://www.aquilent.com/about/cio-sp3) which was selected as one of the awardees for the Chief Information Officers -- Solutions and Partners 3 (CIO-SP3) government-wide acquisition contract (GWAC). Aquilent (http://www.aquilent.com) is a leading provider of Web and Cloud solutions shaping the next generation of technology for the federal government.
The CIO-SP3 contract is a ten-year, multi-award indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract with a $20B ceiling.

The CIO-SP3 contract is available to any federal agency -- both Civilian and Department of Defense -- requiring a broad range of IT services and solutions. CIO-SP3 is also available to organizations that receive funding from Congress (e.g., Smithsonian Institution).

Jeff Walpole -- Phase2's CEO -- added that "two of our continued goals for our government practice include making it easier for our customers to engage us contractually, and working with world class teaming partners. Joining Aquilent on this CIO-SP3 vehicle is a big step forward for both of those goals. Phase2 and Aquilent were both cited recently in the Federal Computer Weekly's '12 Hot Companies to Watch' (http://bit.ly/SxAvTp), so we're delighted to be offering our services together on CIO-SP3."
Phase2's experience in the federal government includes the development of various prominent CMS platforms for high-traffic, public facing web sites such as Energy.gov, DHS.gov, FEMA.gov, and the House of Representatives. Phase2 is a recognized leader in the Drupal open source software community and maintains several 'distributions' on behalf of the community (e.g., OpenPublic, OpenPublish, and Open Atrium). Phase2 is committed to the use of open source software, data visualization, and accessible design to improve the ability for government to connect with citizens.
The Aquilent team is authorized to provide IT services and solutions across all 10 task areas on CIO-SP3, which include: IT services for biomedical research, health sciences and healthcare; chief information officer support; imaging; outsourcing; IT operations and maintenance; integration services; critical infrastructure protection and information assurance; digital government; enterprise resource planning; and software development.

Wearable technology was dominant at this year's International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) , and MWC was no exception to this trend. New versions of favorites, such as the Samsung Gear (three new products were released: the Gear 2, the Gear 2 Neo and the Gear Fit), shared the limelight with new wearables like Pebble Time Steel (the new premium version of the company's previously released smartwatch) and the LG Watch Urbane. The most dramatic difference at MWC was an emphasis on presenting wearables as fashion accessories and moving away from the original clunky technology associated with t...
