We have only had an IFSP since ds was starting school for the 2-3 program, but I think they are similar. We spent a lot of time talking abot ds and areas were he needs help. It's not a time to downplay any issues, talk honestly about what you would like to see happen and at least in our experience the administrator was very helpful and we worked together to create specific outcomes.
We came to the meeting knowing the three biggest things dh and I wanted to improve were/ are an increases in verbal communication, easier transitions and more social engagement. These three outcomes were broken into more functional tasks, -using 10-20 words at meal times, etc.
Good luck and congrats on pre-school!

Ask lots of questions and be specific about goals you want to see them work on with your DS. I'm learning that it's a bit of trial and error in wording and clarification in order to get them to actually work on the things you want them to. Even though the goals I had in mind made perfect sense to me, the school district (how do I word this)- not necessarily cheats you or twists your words- but they seem to play dumb in order to get away with squeezing by or take short cuts that would have never even occurred to me. Part of this is lack of budget, large class sizes, and not enough teachers aids to give one on one attention to specifically work with your DS.
For example:
This is our first year in preschool so we didn't know what to expect. Our DS has feeding issues and this is one of the things EI had been working on with him. EI's snack time consisted of a protein, carbohydrate, and either fruit or vegetable. They worked on getting DS to try 2 of the 3 things (even if this only meant he touched or licked one of the items). When we had our IEP we wanted to continue this so we made the goal that DS would try 2 things during snack time. Well, this was assuming snack time would be the same in the school district as it was in EI. We thought that surely the school district would offer "balanced" snacks. However, we started to notice that DS preschool journal only mentioning things like marshmallows, cookies, fruit snacks, and goldfish crackers. Come to find out, they don't offer balanced snacks and rely on items donated by the parents because their budget is so small (at least this is what I was told). So I started sending balanced snacks for the whole class once in a while. Even then, DS journal would say he ate marshmallows and cookies at snack time. Instead of working on getting him to try new things, they would just give him marshmallows because they knew he would eat them and it would satisfy the "try two things at snack time" goal. I need to set a meeting to get this resolved!!
I would also make sure it's in your IEP that you want to be informed about any changes. Someone recently posted how they found out they changed the class seating and put their DS in the back of the class next to a teacher aid and not near any peers. They hadn't told the mother and she only found out because she had come by the class. These are things I would want to know about so I'm going to add this to my IEP.
If your DS is working on sharing, keep this in mind: My DS's teacher told us that because DS has a hard time sharing, they just remove his favorite toys from the classroom. How does this help him learn to share? This wasn't a goal we made for him, but will be one we may set next year.
When we had our IEP there was only one person present. I was disappointed because I had been told we would also get to meet the teacher so we could ask questions about the routine and schedule of the class. I later found out after talking with EI and our DT that 3 representatives of the school district must be present for the IEP meeting. Sure enough, when they mailed us our IEP, 2 people who were not even present were listed under "participants" for our IEP meeting. I'm not sure what the consequence of this is, but if it really is the law that 3 representatives be present, I feel a little cheated. Maybe we would have had a better insight on the classroom structure if one of their teachers had been there.
Sorry, I think I rambled a bit
All I remember is crying at ours lol. It's emotional to hear all the numbers and where they feel your little one falls.
Thanks so much! No worries on the rambling, I wouldn't have thought to even check a lot of those things!

I've heard about people having horrible IEP meetings where the parent(s) feel ganged up on and where the teachers/therapists try to get away with things. I have not experienced that. Like Vantana, I went in with goals that I wanted to see for my child (ie better communication, better at fine motor tasks, socialization) and they broke it down into measurable tasks, such as being able to draw circles/lines, using scissors, using PECS or a picture schedule, participating in play etc. If you want something added to the IEP such as feeding help, have them write that in. My child needs a lot of physical stimulation, so I had it added that he needs to be able to get exercise daily before participating in focused tasks. Definitely check out Wright's Law regarding your child's education rights. As another parent said, it can be hard listening to them talk about how delayed your child is...and the low scores received during testing. Testing is not always a good indicator of what your child can/can't do because testing is not always reliable...especially in a child so young. Most teachers and therapists know this. For example, my child knows his ABC's, his capitals and small letters, but at the time of testing he wasn't interested in participating...so the results came out that he didn't know those things. It is what the therapists had to report...even though they knew better. On the upside, lower test scores and ratings will help you to get financial aid. Look into applying for the Katie Beckett (Deeming) waiver to get disability benefits which will also pay for private therapy. Good luck!

Thanks for all the advice! Our meeting went great. Jake did score really low on some parts because he really didn't care to participate, but they were very aware of that and included the fact in his written asessment. Our Early Intervention therapist (who's been with us over a year now) was there too and really helped cover any gaps in the IEP draft. Really though, they were pretty spot-on. There were a few things I brought up, and the teachers were very receptive. Hopefully this is a good sign, but I especially like that we can call for another meeting at any time to make changes if we need to. Whew!

BATU PAHAT: The Chinese Chamber of Commerce Batu Pahat (CCCBP) had voted in a new executive body in an election recently and announced Rengit coffee's Gan Eng Huat as its new president.
During an inaugration held on Tuesday evening, Gan pledged to continue building the foundation of the collective body and keeping its members united.
Gan said the chamber has shown an outstanding growth over the past years.
"I will continue along the present development path to further strengthen the serving membership and enhance the chamber's role in local economic and community developments," he added.
Gan said his predecessor Chink Poh Cheng has drafted memorandum to the government to push for various infrastructure and social developments in the district.
The agendas included a proposal for the government to upgrade and beautification of Batu Pahat River for economic and tourism growth, upgrade of major roads in the district such as Jalan Yong Peng – Batu Pahat, Jalan Minyak Beku, develop industrial zones and approval of a land for the chamber.
"We have our priority issues and challenges which we will continue to press on," he said.
Gan also paid homage to Chink for his tremendous leadership and guidance to the Chamber over the past one year under his tenure.
"We look forward to continuing in the same vein," he said.
Gan added that the chambers had amended its constitution to allow its president to hold the position for three-year term instead of one-year for a more effective implementation of its policies and to enable long-term strategies or plans.
Kerk Beng Huat will now serve as the Chamber's deputy president while Teo Kiong Chin, Lim Poh Teot, Tan Mor Hua, Keay Say Wan and Er Choon Shyan as vice-presidents; and Kwei Yew Tong and Lim Poh Boon as secretary and treasurer respectively.
Currently, CCCBP has 1,513 members.

Ocean scientists' work must pass PR office
Thursday - 11/18/2010, 2:15pm EST
The agency that replaced the embattled Minerals Management Service issued a directive to screen scientific findings -- a move that appears to fly in the face of a scientific openness pledge by the Department of Interior.
MMS was accused of lax oversight after the BP oil spill. Former MMS scientists alleged the "suppression or alteration of their work on environmental issues," according to a GAO report earlier this year.
In September, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar issued a memo of scientific integrity that forbids interference with scientific findings
But the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement (BOEMRE) -- the agency that replaced MMS to oversee onshore and offshore drilling -- issued a directive Nov. 2 that calls for screening of scientific work before it is made public.
According to the directive, "All outside/public presentations, be they speeches, Powerpoints, technical or other, etc., must be forwarded to HQ Office of Public Affairs for approval. They promise to clear the talks quickly."
The Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER) called the directive a "new political filter on science," according to a statement.
"These controls are transparent efforts to chill free exchange of scientific information and debate. They serve no legitimate management purpose," PEER Executive Director Jeff Ruch said in the statement.
BOEMRE rejects the allegation that the agency suppresses scientific findings.
In a statement, BOEMRE spokeswoman Melissa Schwartz said the agency wants to advance scientific work, "but it makes no sense for scientific information to be released in a disorganized and incoherent fashion."
PEER also claims BOEMRE Director Michael Bromwich has hunted down "leakers" in meetings with employees.
Schwartz's responded, "There is no truth to the allegation."

CALDWELL-- A Nampa man who intentionally set his girlfriend on fire has been sentenced to 20 years in prison, according to Canyon County Prosecutor Bryan Taylor.
Third District Judge Juneal C. Kerrick handed down the sentence Tuesday for 33-year-old Jesus Montes for the crime of aggravated arson in the third degree. Montes must serve eight and a half years in prison before he is eligible for parole.
The charges stem from an incident on Dec. 11, 2011, where Montes poured lighter fluid on 26-year-old Victoria Zamora, and then light her on fire. It happened at a home on 21st Avenue South in Nampa.
Taylor said the judge called this a heinous and horrific offense and said that Montes showed a lack of empathy. She said Montes poses a threat to the community because he has a history of falling back on violence.
This case is a sad, extreme, yet typical example of the face of domestic violence, said Taylor.
The victim was uncooperative in this case.

Djokovic Looking To Right Wrongs In Major Finals
Wimbledon, Great Britain
by ATP Staff|
Going into his 14th Grand Slam final, Novak Djokovic is looking to right the wrongs of the past 18 months.
The Serb has lost five of his past six major finals, including his past three, with his most recent triumph coming at the 2013 Australian Open (d. Murray). The champion at Wimbledon in 2011, Djokovic is eager to turn the tide with another victory at the All England Club and capture his seventh Grand Slam championship.
"There is plenty of motivation from my side to win this Grand Slam final. It would mean a lot mentally for me," said the Serb, who beat Grigor Dimitrov in four sets in Friday's semi-finals.
Buy Tickets | TV Schedule
"I don't want to sound like I'm not appreciating playing the finals of a Grand Slam. It's already a huge result. We cannot take that for granted," said the Belgrade native, who came into Wimbledon after losing out to Rafael Nadal in the Roland Garros final. "I know that I can win the title. I should have won a few of the matches that I lost in the finals of Grand Slams in the past couple of years."
Tasting defeat more often than he would have liked in the major finals has given Djokovic an even greater appreciation for the achievements of Roger Federer – the man he will face in Sunday's final – who is chasing his 18th Grand Slam championship.
"It's a learning process. It's mental at the end of the day. You have to be able to be in the top of your game, mentally fresh and motivated, calm and composed.
"Things have to come together for you to win a Grand Slam. That's why not that many players throughout history have done that. Federer for example, winning so many Grand Slams. It's a remarkable achievement. Hopefully I can get the title in two days and start a new nice series of winning Grand Slam titles."
After cruising through his first four matches of The Championships for the loss of just one set, Djokovic has been guilty in his past two matches of letting slip winning positions. The Serb was pushed to five sets by Marin Cilic in the quarter-finals and allowed Dimitrov back into their semi-final clash on a couple of occasions after squandering a break advantage. The Serb, though, is looking to use the experiences to his advantage in the final.
"I have been going through some tough matches during this tournament," said Djokovic. "But there is a reason for me going through these experiences and fighting through it. I'm going to try to use that experience in a positive way and encourage myself to get a title.
"It's important when you lose a set or two sets to be able to bounce back and recover from that. I've done that, and that's a positive that I'm taking from these matches."

Non-Plan funds for repair of district roads: Ebrahim Kunju
Work on National Highway 17 (NH-17) stretch passing through the district will be included in the Sustainable and Planned Effort to Ensure Development of Infrastructure (SPEED) project of the Public Works Department (PWD), Minister for Public Works V.K. Ebrahim Kunju said here on Tuesday.
SPEED comprised 23 projects involving a total cost of Rs.10,000 crore, the Minister said.
At present, the NH was from Ramanattukara to Pooladikunnu.
The rest, till Vengalam, a 5-km stretch, was yet to be completed. Even the 23-km stretch till Pooladikunnu was considered highly unsafe and accident-prone with no streetlights, sources said.
As many as 100 projects had been envisaged in the past two-and-a-half years to provide better connectivity to under-developed areas of the State. Nabard schemes worth Rs.700 crore were in various stages of implementation, Mr. Kunju said after inaugurating the Nabard-aided renovation of the Kayakodi-Ellikkampara-Kolithettu road passing through the Kayakodi-Kavilumpara panchayats.
The work was estimated to cost Rs.5.15 crore.
As many as 50 other projects had been placed before Nabard for assistance, he said. Non-Plan funds of the department had been allotted for the renovation of rural roads in the district.
The funds would be released in time for the renovation of the Nadapuram-Muttungal State Highway stretch, estimated to cost Rs.26 crore, the Minister said. Action would be taken against officials who delayed projects, he said calling upon MLAs to ensure timely completion of works.
The Minister inaugurated the work on the Pavayil bridge connecting the Thalakulathur and Chelannur panchayats.
Mr. Kunju called upon the Uralungal Labour Contractors Society, which was taking up the work, to complete it in six months. The work was earlier scheduled to be completed in one year.

For psychiatrists, having too much or too little sleep can be a sign of mood disorders, such as depression. As a rule, doctors say sleep problems make almost every illness worse.
Sleep disturbance is also one of the symptoms on the checklists for diagnosis of both depression and bipolar disorder in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.
Scientists know sleep is important -- animals do it daily -- but it's still an enigma.
During the first phase, the brain is in deep, slow-wave sleep, with alternating periods of rapid-eye movement (REM) or dream sleep, which is marked by faster brain waves. As the night progresses, REM sleep becomes more frequent.
During the day the neurons in the cortex, or cognitive part of the brain, are active, but during sleep the neurons quiet down.
Using brain imaging, the San Diego researchers found a small area of the cerebral cortex in the front of the brain -- the anterior cingulate cortex -- which was overactive in depressed patients. But after those patients were robbed of sleep, those levels quieted.
Interestingly, antidepressants such as tricyclics and SSRI's block REM sleep. And families with a rare genetic defect that extends REM sleep into earlier in the sleep cycle are more prone to depression, according to Sejnowski.
Scientists see the same effect after sleep deprivation in some healthy individuals. The occasional all-nighter, as all college students know, can sometimes cause a temporary state akin to euphoria.
Emily, a 21-year-old senior at Syracuse University who does not suffer from depression, lost an entire night's sleep last summer.
"I couldn't fall asleep for the life of me," she said. "By the time it got to be three in the morning, I just wasn't tired at all. I just laid in bed until about five."
But instead of feeling shattered and depressed at dawn, Emily, a journalism and political science major, said her mood began to lift and she put on her running shoes.
"It was one of the best runs of my life," she said. "I felt like I had a full night's sleep. I ran two extra miles than I normally do around the campus. I went through neighborhoods multiple times because I just didn't feel tired enough to stop."
"I was more numb or immune to the feeling of pain," said Emily. "This time, it took me longer to reach that point of exhaustion."
In a deep brain stimulation project at Emory University in Atlanta, neuroscientist Dr. Helen Mayberg is testing the theory that there is a kind of mood switch in the brain.
In studies, she implanted a pacemaker-like device in the chest with wires that deliver electrical stimulation to a part of the brain that is close to the anterior cingulate cortex, disrupting neural activity.
Unlike electroconvulsive shock treatment (ECT), the electrical current is gentler and does not cause an epileptic fit.
The patients in Mayberg's study are treatment resistant, even with ECT, and struggled with major depressive episodes for at least one year or more.
"These people are very, very sick," she said. "They are stuck and can't get out of it. They are off the map."
The procedure "allows the brain to go back to normal," said Mayberg, a professor of psychiatry and neurology. "While we get an immediate behavioral change in the operating room, the antidepressant effects require several months to become apparent, and continued stimulation is required to maintain it longterm."

Gospel artists flock to Atlanta to advance career
ATLANTA Christian rapper Lecrae first came to Atlanta as a teenager for a youth conference in 1999, but what ultimately convinced him to lay down roots here was its thriving gospel music scene.
"Atlanta is just a musical hub," said the 32-year-old, who moved from Houston three years ago. "There are a slew of producers, engineers, artists and writers. There's a wealth of outlets here, and it's a community of artists who are here as well. That's a major reason why I came here."
Atlanta has become a key place of business for many of the heavyweights in gospel and Christian music, like Marvin Sapp, Mary Mary, Kirk Franklin and Jason Crabb. They flock to the city known to some as "gospel's Hollywood" because of its flourishing R&B and hip-hop scene, an evolving television market, a variety of Christian and gospel record labels, and a plethora of mega churches. Some of the industry's best, such as Francesca Battistelli, the group Casting Crowns, Chris Tomlin and Dottie Peoples, reside in the city or in the suburban areas.
"Atlanta is becoming like the new Los Angeles," said Sapp, the chart-topping gospel singer from Grand Rapids, Mich.
"Everybody and their momma are shooting all types of films here," he added. "It's becoming a regular hotbed for the entertainment field. And because of that, gospel is coming here as well. People are connecting. It's becoming a very viable place for gospel artists to excel and be successful musically."
Recently, the 43rd annual Dove Awards took place at the popular Fox Theatre in Atlanta for the second straight year. The show, which celebrates Christian and gospel music, had all the glitz and glamour of a high-profile awards show, with more than 250 media outlets on the red carpet.
The rising support of the genre in Atlanta is what convinced Gospel Music Association organizers to move the Doves to the city in 2011. The ceremony started in Memphis and was held in Nashville, Tenn., for more than four decades.
GMA board chairman Mitchell Solarek said organizers felt Atlanta has a larger media reach with more radio and television outlets to support the show. With GMC - formerly the Gospel Music Channel - based in Atlanta, Solarek called the move a "no brainer." The network aired the awards in April.
"Even though Nashville is touted as the music capital of the world, the media is not as broad there as it is in Atlanta," he said. "We wanted to take this (awards show) to a market that was broader than it was in Nashville, while still achieving our goal of musical diversity and still reach the bulk of our members. And Atlanta is just a drive away."
That sounds good to the ears of Georgia officials, who have worked hard to promote the state as an entertainment destination. They offer one of the highest tax credits in the United States - up to 30 percent to those looking to produce shows, music videos and commercials in the state.

2008 was the year of Twitter and Facebook, but which sites will dominate 2009? We've put together a list of the 10 sites we think you won't be able to live without this year.
With the internet video landscape becoming large and more scattered, many of us would welcome a well-designed tool to help us make sense of it all. Boxee gathers video from all over the web (YouTube, CNN.com, and many others) and puts it in a very neat and easy-to-use interface that can be accessed on your PC or on the TV in the living room.
This creates something like a programming guide for internet video, such that you don't have to surf around to different video sites - all your favourite web video is right in front of you. Boxee also accesses and organises the video, images and music that you have on your hard drive.
As web video destinations become more numerous and diverse, they all must answer the user's basic problem - 'What do I watch when I don't know what I want to watch?' - to keep the eyeballs. Boxee's main means of doing this is letting you get viewing suggestions from perhaps the best source you have - your friends. You form friend groups with other Boxee users, and you can see what they've been watching or they can proactively suggest stuff to you.
The current version of Boxee runs on Intel-based Macs, Apple TV, and Linux machines (it works particularly easily on Ubuntu distributions). A Windows version should be ready soon, Boxee says.
Blackberry Application Storefront
Research in Motion (RIM) had a big year in 2008, releasing smartphone after smartphone in a valiant effort to keep all those 'CrackBerry' addicts from jumping ship and buying iPhones. The devices and the software that runs on them have become sexier-looking more entertainment-oriented; RIM has added an element of fun to a device that's traditionally been a business tool.
RIM is also taking a page from the iPhone playbook by opening up a store for independently developed BlackBerry apps, called the BlackBerry Application Storefront. Current BlackBerry users (and prospective ones) will no doubt be eager to see what those new apps look like; and it's a safe bet that the site where they are displayed and sold will be a popular place on the web in 2009.
However, the Storefront isn't open yet. Keep an eye on the BlackBerry signup page on the Storefront for updates.

Creating a Learning Environment for Young Children
Creating a postive learning environment enhances opportunities for young children to feel safe and supported. Teachers and child-care providers learn that careful planning and the effective arrangement of space and classroom equipment can facilitate learning experiences for young children.
The following is an excerpt from Teaching Our Youngest.
What do effective preschool teachers and child-care providers do?
What does a classroom that can enhance learning look like?
Effective preschool classrooms are places where children feel well cared for and safe. They are places where children are valued as individuals and where their needs for attention, approval, and affection are supported. They are also places where children can be helped to acquire a strong foundation in the knowledge and skills needed for school success.
- Young children need teachers who welcome all children to their classrooms, including children from various cultures, whose first language is not English and children who have disabilities.
- Young children need teachers who take time to work with them individually, in small groups, and sometimes with the entire class–to help them develop their cognitive and social skills, their language abilities, and their interest in learning new things about the world.
- Young children need instruction to develop the thinking, language, and early literacy skills needed for continued school success.
Effective preschool teachers and child care providers:
- Know when children can figure out new ideas and concepts on their own and when it is important to explain things to them step-by-step.
- Encourage children to participate in classroom activities and to honor the classroom rules.
- Listen to what the children say and expand upon their language, building their vocabulary and background knowledge.
- Know when to teach directly, when to provide time for exploration and discovery, when to practice skills, and when to encourage creativity.
- Plan activities that have a purpose and that challenge children.
- Know how to help children learn to work together and to resolve their conflicts.
- Encourage children to respect each other's time and personal belongings.
- Provide many opportunities for conversations between and among children and with adults.
- Know how to establish and maintain order in a classroom but in a manner that permits the children to learn how to participate in and enjoy learning.
- Arrange the classroom in a way that enhances their work with children and how the children spend their time.
A Classroom to Enhance Learning
Ms. Coleman is unhappy with her classroom layout. In her classroom, furniture is lined up along the walls. One big open space is in the middle of the room. Ms. Coleman's children spend a lot of time in that open space. They sometimes make a lot of noise that is hard for her to control. She wants her classroom to better support the learning of the children. Instead of one big space, she wants to establish a number of smaller, quiet areas where children can go to examine books, write and draw, engage in social play, and work with puzzles and other games. Ms. Coleman transformed her classroom to enhance her students' learning opportunities. Today:
- She uses cupboards, screens, and tables to divide her classroom into children's work areas. She does this to better define the activities that will take place in different parts of the room. She makes and puts up these labels for the areas: Library Corner, Games and Puzzles Table, Writing Table, Blocks Place, Art Studio, Housekeeping Room, and Science Space.
- She makes sure that the all of the children can comfortably sit on the big rug next to the Library Corner. She knows she will have them sit there when she and the entire class read books and do other activities together.
- She provides dress-up clothes and other props in the Blocks Place and the Housekeeping Room. These will be the areas in which the children engage in dramatic play. She provides writing materials– pencils, crayons, and paper–next to the Writing Table as well as in the Art Studio, Blocks Place, and Housekeeping Room. The children often incorporate writing into their artwork as well as their dramatic play. She encourages them to label their drawings and to write out lists and plans for their dramatic play.
- She displays many examples of printed materials, yet she does not display excessive print or print that is not meaningful. The children are able to see labels, signs, and printed directions in the places that count.
- Alphabet displays on a nearby wall were placed at the children's eye level as they sit at writing tables.
- The children's work was displayed throughout the room.
- She changes the labels as different toys, games, and puzzles came into the classroom. She has the children provide the names and sometimes the signs. As the children learn more about print, the labels that appear in the classroom get longer and more detailed.
- She places a rug and big pillows in the Library Corner, making it a cozy, inviting place. The children quickly learn that they can go there with several friends to look at and discuss books and magazines.
- She makes sure that the bookcases contain a variety of books— traditional storybooks, modern storybooks, alphabet books, number books, wordless pictures books, and books about animals, plants, and the peoples who live in different parts of the world. She includes books that portray the cultural and language backgrounds of the children in the classroom. She keeps current issues of magazines for young children on an easy-to-reach shelf.
Most of the books on the bookcases come from the classroom library, but others are part of a revolving collection of books that Ms. Coleman gets from the public library. She changes the collection of books every few weeks, based on the topics being studied by the children and on their current interests.
- As the year progresses and the children create their own books, she sets up a special display shelf to hold the children's work.
- She prepares one shelf for cassette players, headphones, and tapes for the children to use to listen to stories.

He is absolutely amazing and one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. He performs in Nashville regularly and is going on tour in May. Enjoy Reginald Elijah Wooten, "the Teacha"…

Who The Hell Am I!
I'm a liberal that is extreme in some ways and not in others. I support President Obama and make no apologies for it. I think he has done a phenomenal job, especially when you consider that he inherited a huge mess and has faced unprecedented opposition from a lazy & desperate Republican Party. I'm a film producer/director/editor, adjunct professor, technician, media critic and photographer when I'm not reading left wing blogs and typing on this one. – On Twitter @ExtremeLiberal or Email at liberalforreal (at) gmail.com

text: Upgraded to the 1/8 scale D8 shocks. I used the rear shock tower in the front location. Went to put my body on and the holes for mounting the body don't line up. I just want to make sure I didn't do something simple wrong and I am asking should this be the case when switching shock towers? I read the other forums instructions on how to do this and don't remember anybody saying anything about this. I don't mind cutting two new holes but want to make sure I didn't screw anything else up before I cut the new holes. Thanks for any input.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
|This article does not cite any references or sources. (December 2009)
Vaho (or Baho) is a mix of meat, green plantains and yuca cooked in banana leaves. It is a traditional Nicaraguan dish originated from the mix of cultures between the indigenous, mestizos and afro-Nicaraguans of the country.
In Nicaragua and some other Spanish dialects "vajo" is pronounced as "bajo". There is some controversy as to whether the correct spelling is "vajo" or "bajo". It is also served with a cabbage and tomato salad made with vinegar and lemon/lime juice (curtido). The salad tops the meat, yuca and plantains. It is a traditional Sunday dish.

Warriors, Falcons hack out close wins
RALF Olivares emerged as the end-game hero for University of the East and Jericho Cruz also came out big for Adamson as the Warriors and the Falcons pulled off separate pulsating triumphs in the UAAP men's basketball tournament yesterday at Mall of Asia Arena.
Cruz dropped all but two of his 18 points in the second half as the Falcons stunned the National University Bulldogs, 68-66, to climb to solo third at 3-2.
The Warriors slipped past the La Salle Green Archers, 85-83, with Olivares knocking in six of UE's last eight points inside the last 46 seconds.
"We were very fortunate against NU, we were lucky," said coach Leo Austria, whose Falcons escaped as NU's Robin Roño missed a wide-open triple attempt at the buzzer.
Cruz buried the last four points in an 8-0 run that pushed the Falcons ahead, 68-63, going into the final minute after trailing at 60-63.
"He showed us he also has a big heart like (Roi) Sumang and (Charles) Mammie," coach Boycie Zamar said of Olivares as the Warriors tied the Bulldogs at the fourth spot at 3-3.
Olivares buried a huge triple that gave the Warriors an 82-81 lead, then later nailed a buffer free throw with 12.6 seconds left after the Green Archers had threatened within a point, 84-83.
Coming off the bench like Olivares, guard Dan Alberto also delivered in the clutch by firing a floater that pushed the Warriors within a point, 77-78, and canning two cushion free throws, 84-81, with 28.5 seconds left.
The scores:
First Game
UE 85—Sumang 21, Mammie 19, Javier 16, Alberto 9, Olivares 8, Noble 8, Santos 4, Jumao-as 0, Hernandez 0, Flores 0, Casajeros 0.
LA SALLE 83—Vosotros 26, Teng 13, N. Torres 9, T. Torres 9, Van Opstal 8, Dela Paz 8, Salem 6, Perkins 4, Tampus 0, Revilla 0, Montalbo 0.
Quarters: 18-18, 39-43, 58-64, 85-83
Second Game
ADAMSON 68—Cruz 18, Cabrera 12, Trollano 7, Sewa 6, Petilos 5, Rios 4, Monteclaro 4, Brondial 4, Agustin 4, Julkipli 2, Iñigo 2, Ochea 0, Abrigo 0.
NU 66—Mbe 17, Parks 15, Javillonar 10, Roño 6, Perez 5, Villamor 4, Alolino 4, Javelona 3, Porter 2, Rosario 0, Khobuntin 0, Alejandro 0.
Quarters: 17-15, 32-28, 48-48, 68-66

School's Back For Mt, City Pupils
By Meadows, Robyn
Laura Zell and Erica Bareuther were freshmen when construction began at Manheim Township High School. This morning, they stepped through the new glass front entrance for the first day of their senior year.
"Now that we look back, it wasn't that bad to go through," Bareuther says of the $80.4-million renovation and expansion project.
"It looks really nice," Zell said.
But it was "annoying," both said, to hear the rattles and bangs of construction.
Several miles south, the School District of Lancaster kicked off a new school year for grades pre-K to ninth-grade today.
Officials at both Manheim Township and the School District of Lancaster reported no problems on the first day.
The last of the county's public schools say farewell to summer break on Wednesday.
Grades 10, 11 and 12 begin classes at McCaskey High School. That's also when Warwick School District students resume classes.
Outside Washington Elementary School on South Ann Street in the city, a grinning fourth-grader named Cristian Viera didn't seem to mind when his mom, Lucia Lopez, wiped crumbs from the corner of his mouth with her index finger. (He ate bread and butter and bananas for breakfast.)
There was no, "Oh, mom!"
"I am happy," he said. "Because it's my first day."
This year is kind of a big deal. He turns 10 in March.
"I can't wait until my next birthday," he said.
Kristal Figueroa started fifth grade this morning. It's her last year at Washington Elementary.
"I'm going to be nervous," she said of middle school, still a year away.
But, she added, "I love school. It's really fun to learn new things."
Nearby, literacy coach Rose Ann Sinkosky helped lost parents find the right place for their children.
Her constant smile was genuine and palpable.
"It doesn't matter how many years you've been teaching," she said. "The first day is always a big deal."
That same sentiment was shared by educators at Manheim Township High School.
Because the high school has been renovated in several phases, various portions of the school were open in the past three years while others were closed.
The school also has entire new sections. Renovations should be completed by November.
Several students – especially freshmen – got lost. One by one they approached teachers and administrators to find the location of their homeroom.
They stood in an area nicknamed "Times Square" – a spot dubbed that because "at some point in the day every student passes through it," interim principal Gary Yocum said.
But the first day for the 1,846 Manheim Township high schoolers was smooth compared with recent years.
Campus traffic patterns have shifted often to accommodate construction schedules.
But now, Manheim Township High School has three roadways leading to the school.
And, there is no way motorists can use the campus as a shortcut between Valley Road and Oregon Road.

Man dies after jumping in front of oncoming MRT train in Guadalupe
Operations still stalled as rescuers try to retrieve body
MANILA, Philippines — A man was killed in an apparent suicide after he allegedly jumped off from the train platform of a Metro Rail Transit Authority station in Makati City, police said.
Senior Superintendent Manuel Lukban, Makati police chief, said the still unidentified man suddenly jumped onto the northbound railway of the MRT Guadalupe station in front of an oncoming train at 8:18 a.m.
The man, estimated to be from 20 to 30 years old, was dragged for another 30 meters by the train.
"Bigla lang ito tumalon nung nakita niyang may paparating na tren," Lukban said, adding that police officers and rescue teams were still working to pull out the body from under one of the coaches.
The man was seen wearing a dark maong short pants and a light blue T-shirt.
Train operations remain suspended.

Metallica's Lars Ulrich: 'Our rivalry with Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax was sandbox stuff'
Drummer says metal's 'Big 4' have 'grown up'
The drummer explained that "a lot of things have changed" since the quartet went head to head in the 1980s and 1990s and that rivalries are now more likely to occur inside Metallica than outside.
He told Rolling Stone:
When you get out of the sandbox and grow up, you stop worrying so much about what everyone else is doing. To me, the competition is now internal. That's the biggest difference from twenty years ago.
Slayer guitarist Kerry King commented that the 'Big 4' had always been "friendly rivals" over the years, adding:
I'd always want to get Metallica's record as soon as it hit, Megadeth's record, Anthrax's record, to see what they were doing.
The bands were speaking after yesterday's (September 14) Big 4 gig at New York's Yankee Stadium.
They also played together at Sonisphere in the UK and dates around Europe earlier this year - scroll down and click below to watch NME's interview with Metallica bassist Robert Trujillo about how the 'Big 4' tour was pulled together.
Meanwhile, Metallica and Lou Reed's collaborative album 'Lulu' is due to be released next month (October 31). Guitarist Kirk Hammett and frontman James Hetfield have revealed that the former Velvet Underground made them cry during the making of the record.
