Part 1: The Transition Plan - What is it?
Part 2: Postsecondary Education
Part 3: (This Article)
Part 4: Independent Living
Part 5: Creating the Actual Plan
Even though many "typical" students have no idea of what type of work they want to do after high school, students with disabilities do need to get an idea about what they want to do for purposes of their transition plan. Learning a little about what postsecondary job opportunities exist before taking assessments may help a student identify a new interest or job area so that a transition plan includes adequate steps, training and services to help the student meet the goal. Also, for some students, it may take a while to acquire the skills needed for a part or full-time job so careful planning and training each high school year can increase the student's earning capacity. When thinking employment, there are many options other than simply a traditional part-time or full-time job that transition team members should discuss. For example, there are options such as "segregated employment" (a self-contained workplace with other persons with disabilities), "supported employment" (usually employment that is supported by an agency such as the Department of Rehabilitation), and "self employment" (a job that allows the worker to use his or her own skills to create a product or provide a service). After exploring the below information, talk to the student to find out if there is a particular type of job he or she wants based upon their interests and then start planning backwards to make sure the student has the skills needed for the preferred postsecondary employment opportunity.
When creating an employment goal for a transition plan and related annual objectives, the following items need to be preliminarily researched and/or assessed, and generally discussed:
1. The types of things the student likes to do and the kinds of environments can the student work in;
2. The career fields that let the student do these things or work in the preferred setting;
3. The types of jobs in these fields that the student can realistically do on a part-time or full-time paid or volunteer basis;
4. Any formal training and experience needed during the high school period to help the student get the job (e.g. interview skills, creation of a resume, how to complete a job application, the skills needed to do the job, etc.); and
5. The functional skills needed at home to keep the job (e.g. waking on time, dressing appropriately, personal hygiene, packing a lunch, transportation to the job, etc.).
Below are some tips and resources to help with the creation of postsecondary employment goals and identification of services.
1. Identify what the student likes to do, can do and needs to learn to do.
As discussed in Part 1 of this series, "age appropriate assessments" should be performed before a transition plan is proposed to learn about the student's personality type, inventory of interests and skills, and career fields that the student may be the best suited for in terms of the student's interests, personality and skills. Assessments are often done at high school through the Workability 1 Program funded by the California Department of Education for students with IEPs, or through third party programs such as the Naviance Online Program, JobTIPS, Career Cruising, ASVAB Career Exploration or other programs. Click here for a sample checklist of what should be done to assess student's employment skills.
Examples of other transition assessments for schools relating to employment (but see list at end of article for free sources):
- ASVAB (aptitude measures to predict future academic and occupational success in the military);
- Brigance Employability Skills Inventory;
- Career Decision-Making System;
- Career Game® (offers self-assessment workbooks, internet site, videos and more);
- Occupational Aptitude Survey and Interest Scale (OASIS-3);
- Reading Free Vocational Interest Inventory (designed for students with intellectual and learning disable);
- Self-Directed Search® Form E;
- Work Adjustment Inventory (measures temperament traits);
- WRIOT Platform (by Pearson);
What is Workability? Workability 1 is "an essential component of transition services developed and supported by the CDE (California Dept. of Ed.)." Ca. Ed. Code § 56470(a). Workability programs are required to provide instruction and experiences to students with IEPs that reinforce core curriculum concepts and skills leading to gainful employment." § 56470(b). The Workability program is a 4 tiered "learn to earn" program designed to prepare students with disabilities for entry into the labor market.
Who is Workability for? Workability 1 is the "tier" for high school students that is supposed to provide "comprehensive pre-employment skills training, employment placement and follow-up for high school students in special education who are making the transition from school to work, independent living and post secondary education or training" while students proceed with their special education in high school. Ca. Dept. of Ed. "Workability 1: A California Transition Program - Students Learn to Earn. Workability 1 is for all high school students (age 16 - 21) with an IEP. Source: FAQ sheet on Workability issued by the San Diego Unified School District.
What if the student has not received Workability services but has an IEP? If the student has an IEP and is not receiving workability services, parents should submit a written request to the student's case manager or counselor asking for Workability services and support. Also, parents should ask for a copy of the annual schedule used by the high school Workability representative to see the different topics taught per month so that if a student with an IEP has mistakenly not received services, the student can learn about what has been missed and request make-up sessions and/or copies of the materials used for the missed sessions.
What does Workability Include? Workability shall include: (1) recruitment, (2) assessment, (3) counseling, (4) pre-employment skills training, (5) vocational skills training, (6) student wages for "try-out" employment, (7) placement in unsubsidized employment, (8) other assistance with transition to a quality adult life, and (9) use of an interdisciplinary advisory committee to enhance project goals. Ca. Ed. Code § 56471(d). Students with IEPs qualify for workability services during high school to help them learn about activities they like, their own personal qualities and career options related to their interests and qualities. The Workability program seeks employers in the business community who will give students with special needs work opportunities.
The specific services provided by each tier are listed in the CDE's "Array of Services Definitions" found online. Examples of services that that can be provided through Workability 1 include:
- self and formal assessments,
- interest inventories,
- personality surveys,
- values assessments,
- career development assessments,
- computerized information matching of interests with jobs,
- career counseling,
- curriculum integration of work readiness skills,
- vocational/career tech classes, and
- independent living/functional skills.
For a comprehensive table of Workability 1 High School services, please click on the "Array of Services" (Doc; posted 12-May-20) found under the "Array of Services" section on the California Department of Education Workability l webpage.
Workability Tiers: Familiarity with the different tiers can help students know what workability services are available during different phases of their educational or other pursuits.
- Workability I (an in school program designed to increase employability of special education students and provide career and/or vocational education training and specialized education work experiences);
- Workability II provides specialized vocation assistance to out-of-school youth and adults with disabilities;
- Workability III helps people with disabilities who are both community college students and DOR clients who desire and need employment; and
- Workability IV assists persons with disabilities who are both university students and DOR clients in transition form school to work.
2. Start early building a resumé.
To increase a student's chances of getting a job, start as early as possible having the student volunteer, enroll or work in programs or activities to show that the student can learn new skills, follow directions, show up on time, and handle responsibility. Involvement in programs and activities is not only important to help build a resume, but may also highlight areas in which the student needs more training (e.g. social or communication skills) so that supports and services during high school can be timely delivered. (As part of the employment assessment, employers should be contacted to get evaluations to provide input. Sample worksite evaluation forms: "Worksite Evaluation Form" by G. York, and "Employee Evaluation Form" (from the Iowa Department of Education sources/North Center Regional Resource Center).
Some ideas may include:
a. School Activities: Talk to the student's case manager to determine whether there are any jobs in the structured school environment the student can try (e.g. tutoring after school, working as an office assistant as an elective, work in the cafeteria or sports events).
b. Volunteer Activities: Consider having the student volunteer with an organization that provides supervision and which offers volunteer opportunities in areas the student likes (e.g. if the student likes animals - volunteer at an animal shelter, if the student likes baseball have the student volunteer at a high school baseball game, if the student likes moving heavy items, volunteer to help move boxes in the cafeteria, etc.).
c. Camp Programs: Enroll the student in training camps such as babysitting or camp counselor training such as the YMCA's leaders in training program.
d. Part-time employment at a local "Workability" partner or other employer as this may lead to full-time employment later.
3. Practice daily routines needed to help with independence.
In addition to working on the development of skills to get a job, the student needs to work on skills to keep a job (e.g. waking up and getting dressed in time, personal hygiene, social skills, getting to work on time, etc.). Make a list of what needs to be done every morning to get ready for a job and, where needed, use assistive technology to remind the student of what needs to be done and when (e.g. calendar or reminder apps with reminder alerts). A sample checklist might be:
- Set the alarm the night before;
- Set out appropriate clothes the night before;
- Wake up to the alarm;
- Brush teeth;
- Deodorant;
- Get dressed;
- Pack lunch;
- Take medications;
- Be ready by the car to go to school by a predetermined time.
Following a checklist with reminders from parents is a good start but the goal should be for the student to ultimately follow and complete the checklist on his or her own (with assistive technology to help as needed).
4. Develop a plan for the student to learn self-advocacy skills each year.
There are many laws in place to support students in the workplace but often students need to self-advocate to ensure they have a fair playing field at work. Discussions should be held with the IEP team to discuss how the student will be trained to self advocate in an effective manner. Students should learn select key parts of the applicable laws each year and role play "violations" so that when they leave high school, they are well equipped to protect and handle themselves in the workplace. For example, students need to learn whether employers can ask if they have a disability or need accommodations during an interview, and how to handle such questions if they are asked, what to do if they are asked to do something that is not normally part of their job, how to request accommodations and more.
Suggested resources that students and parents should review to learn about protections and common violations.
- Guide to Disability Rights Laws (U.S. Department of Justice, Civil Rights Division) (discusses the ADA, Fair Housing Act, Rehabilitation Act, and many more laws);
- Arizona Center for Disability Law (has numerous links to ADA guides, Assistive Technology guides, and other helpful resources;
- Employment Rights Under the American with Disabilities Act (and other related laws) (by the Disability Rights Organization of California);
- American with Disabilities Act (ADA) or (ADAAA);
- "Accommodations at the Workplace" and "Protections During a Job Interview" (from the National Center for Learning Disabilities);
- "Disability Discrimination in the Workplace: An Overview of the ADA" and "Your Rights to Reasonable Accommodations Under the ADA" (by Nolo Law for All);
- "Self Advocacy" (Wrightslaw.com);
- Service Animals in the Workplace (Commonly asked questions and answers form the U.S. Department of Justice, Civil Rights Division);
- "Assistive Technology for Employment" (Disabilities Rights Washington) (provides examples of AT as well as links and information on AT in the workplace).
5. Prepare an "Important Documents" Binder with the student.
As students transition to adulthood, they will need certain documents such as their birth certificate, driver's license, social security card and other items. They also need to learn when and when not to share information from these items. Students may need to work on memorizing their social security number for job applications or have a copy of certain documentation for their jobs. Help a student organize their important items and keep it until they are able to safely keep this information on their own.
If employment is not a likely option for a student, the team should discuss options such as day programs with specialized activities and supports that allow the student to have social and other interactions in a structured manner to keep the student engaged and involved.
Other Employment related resources:
1. Naviance college and career readiness program: Many districts offer the Naviance K-12 program and curriculum to their high school students help them with college and career readiness. Naviance has research tools to help students assess themselves to learn more about college and career options, can help teams devise course plans to help students reach their goals, offers assistance with college applications, and provides other supports. If the student does not have a passcode to access this on-line program, discuss with the team how the student might be able to use this program.
2. Job Boards: Look at the job boards for persons with and without disabilities to learn about job options and job requirements for persons with or without a high school diploma. Good sources include: National Organization on Disability, Gettinghired.com (to learn of companies committed to working with qualified persons with disabilities), EnableAmerica.org, careerbuilder.com, sdgoodwill.org, indeed.com.
3. The Department of Rehabilitation (DOR): Contact the your local regional center or the local office of California's DOR to learn about employment services and eligibility because these may help make the student's pursuit of a particular type of employment more realistic. Students who qualify for services from the San Diego Regional Center need a referral to begin services. See "Community Interface Services." Generally, if a student graduates with a diploma, he or she will transition to the DOR for employment services if deemed eligible. If a student does not graduate with a diploma, the local regional center will provide supports to transition to work through appropriate regional center providers.
The DOR runs the largest vocational rehabilitation program in the U.S. Students must meet eligibility requirements to receive services. Once a student is eligible, the DOR offers individualized job development services for persons who qualify for DOR services. Discuss the DOR services with the regional center (if applicable) and the school so that information can be obtained early in the transition planning process.
The DOR offers "community interface services" to help with career exploration, job market information, assessment of job skills, analysis of jobs, worksite modifications and accommodations, on-the-job coaching, assistance with inclusion, mobility training, worker hygiene, social skills development, self-advocacy training and more. Other programs include: Assistive Technology program, Blind Field Services, Business Enterprises Program, Client Assistance, Deaf and Hard of Hearing Section, Disability Access Services, Orientation Center, Supported Employment, Traumatic Brain Injury and Workforce development, Work Activity Programs (paid work and services in a sheltered work shop setting). Discuss the availability of job shadowing and job coaching as they are not the same.

A warning to parents: Older men seeking young girls on Web is increasing
Layton, who used to work for the Weber County Sheriff's Office and the northern Utah bureau of the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, said every case of this type that he's seen has involved a female victim and male perpetrator. In most cases, the girls are 14 or 15 years old and the men are in their mid-20s.
The reason for the increase in cases: "It's all related to social media," he said.
In July, a 24-year-old Sandy man was charged in 3rd District Court with three counts of rape of a child, a first-degree felony, and three counts of child endangerment, a third-degree felony, after allegedly befriending a 13-year-old girl on Facebook, giving her heroin and impregnating her after they met in person.
Layton said he worked a case recently where a 24-year-old man met a 16-year-old girl online and eventually persuaded her to have sex with him in exchange for paying her cellphone bill. The girl told two of her friends about the deal, and they later participated as well, he said. The man was eventually arrested and convicted, according to Layton.
A report from the Utah Department of Health's Office of Vital Records and Statistics that looked at pregnancies of Utah girls ages 15 to 17 from 2006 to 2008 found that more than 600 of the fathers were ages 20 to 24, 120 were ages 25 to 29, and in 54 teen births the fathers were 30 or older.
In 43 percent of the pregnancies, the 15- to 17-year-old girls reported no information about the father.
Layton said he was seeing such a growing problem with older perpetrators abusing younger victims that he helped push a bill that passed the 2013 Utah Legislature that lowered the age difference for unlawful sexual conduct between 16- and 17-year-old victims and a perpetrator to seven years instead of 10.
The new law also makes it a crime to have sexual conduct with a 16- or 17-year-old if one person is 10 years or more older than the other, even if one party mistakenly believed the other was 18.
But despite a culture that tends to glamorize sex, Layton said he believes teens are not more knowledgable today about the subject than they were two decades ago.
"The maturity of the kids has not changed," he said. "A kid that is 14 and 15 nowadays is not any more mature than a kid was 20 years ago when they were 14 and 15 years old."
If a 25-year-old man approaches a teen girl on the street today and asks her to go to the movies with him, the girl would still say no, according to Layton.
"But when I get you on social media, when I get you on Facebook or when I start texting you, and I start to manipulate that kid, again, you have someone with no life experience here versus someone with a lot of life experience and knows how to manipulate," Layton said. "Then they break down those barriers. So when that (first) meeting takes place, they're friends now, even though they've never met."
The girl, however, may not have the same expectations as the man.
"The girl has a different perception of what's going to happen. The girl is going, 'This guy here, this is what I've been waiting for all my life. Here's my knight in shining armor. Here's the guy who's going to take me to the movies. He's going to buy me dinner. I'm ready to do that.' Whereas the guy is thinking sex," Layton said. "He's not thinking about a relationship."
While Indica was still missing, Huddleston said she believed her daughter's maturity level may have played into her situation. Her daughter may look 20, but "how she looks and how she thinks are two different things," she said.
What's the attraction?
So why do young girls "friend" older men on Facebook?
Amy Oxman, a licensed clinical social worker who works with children for trauma and abuse-related issues, says the reasons can be different for every girl.

Consider vector space with coordinates x1, ... xn. Consider polynomial deRham complex (also known as Koszul complex) which is generated by xi and dx_i. As an algebra it is just $C[x_i]\otimes \Lambda [dx_i]$.
From the point of view of super-mathematics this algebra is just polynomial algebra on the super-vector space $C^{n|n}$.
Question I wonder if there any application of super-math to usual math in this particular context ? For example does Lie supergroup GL(n|n), its the Lie algebra and its universal enveloping U(gl(n|n)) which acts on $C^{n|n}$ have meaning/interpretation/application to differential forms ?
Well there might be some relation in opposite direction - if so it is also welcome.

Scary Chic... lovely ladies in peril
Since Halloween is around the corner I got to thinking about who I consider to be the most stylish women in spooky films and came up with this list. Side note: I thought of a few others but decided to keep it to only films I have actually seen and enjoy.
Mia Farrow, Rosemary's Baby, 1968
Ellen Burstyn, The Exorcist, 1973
Claire Bloom, The Haunting, 1963
Susannah York, Images, 1972
Tippi Hedren, The Birds, 1963

Balenciaga: Yesterday and Today...
No doubt by now you have caught wind of the upcoming Balenciaga exhibit opening in New York at the Queen Sofia Spanish Institute, November 19th. If I hadn't used up all my vacation days for the year, and had tons of leisure money, I would seriously consider making a quick trip out to the big apple! The exhibit gets back to his roots and highlights the Spanish influences on his designs, displaying over 60 pieces, many of which have never been exhibited before.
It seems that Balenciaga is really popping out at me these days... The other day at lunch I was skimming through AnOther magazine (the one with the fabulous Bjork on the cover) and came across this cool layout, photographed by Venitia Scott. I liked the general vintagy theme but normally prefer the over-the-top '70s as opposed to the beachy laid-back '70s... However, certain prints were really standing out to me and upon closer inspection I noticed they were all Balenciaga!
Now we all know that Cristobal is no longer the face behind Balenciaga, but in the Resort 2011 collection, Nicolas Ghesquiere plays with the designs Cristobal created for the airlines. I didn't even know there were Balenciaga airline uniforms... (new research project!) but wouldn't have you loved to be on that plane??
Check out the rest of the collection here.

Palm Springs Weekend!!
I am finally going away with the boyfriend to Palm Springs this weekend and it could not be happening sooner!! I've been researching some possible thrift stores to scour and am making it my mission to see the Richard Avedon exhibit at the Palm Springs Art Museum... but mainly I am hoping to just lounge poolside. I wish I could do so just like in the photos above, but it's not the '60s and I'm not rich. But still - that is what I'll be doing in my head.
Top two photos are by photographer, Robert Doisneau and the latter two are by the wonderful Slim Aarons.
See you all on Monday!

A few posts back I gushed over Rachel Weisz's photo spread in VS. Magazine.. well in the same issue, there is another great layout featuring Eva Mendes. I guess it's been getting some flack for making light of mental illness.. which isn't cool on some levels, but I dunno guys - I think the photos are pretty great. To me it looks more like a crazed Hollywood actress running wild in her villa... and I am always on board with that scenario.
Photographer: Ellen von Unwerth.
ps- Blogger tells me they will be performing maintenance to the sight so that may eff up my photo uploads.. we'll see.

Do you know where you're going to?
Hopefully to your nearest video store to rent Mahogany starring the incredible Diana Ross. What a film - and what a wardrobe!! This 1975 film depicts the journey of Tracy, an aspiring fashion designer who only wants to showcase her Japanese-influenced designs, but continually must put her dreams on hold to help Billy Dee Williams run for office, become a top Italian fashion model and constantly rebuff advances made by photographer, Anthony Perkins (who is way creepier than he is in Psycho) Anyhow, the film is worth a watch for the incredible costumes, many of which were designed by Ms. Ross herself!! Also there is an amazing montage of when Tracy's star is rising - I'm talking some major fierce looks that Diana rocks the hell out of... So grab a glass of vino, curl up and enjoy the glamour of Mahogany!

Very modern and contemporary is the Birds of a Feather Mobile ($55). Made from walnut plywood that's been laser cut into branches and birds, this suspended fixture could easily make interesting a room that's currently lacking in the design department. We're thinking we'd like to see one in the office or bedroom.

Erica Mena of "Love & Hip Hop" is obviously a fan of fellow VH1 reality TV series "Basketball Wives LA." It's pretty clear that she is not a fan of Sundy Carter though. The "Love & Hip Hop" star took to Twitter on Tuesday to air her disgust at the things Sundy said and did this season on "Basketball Wives LA."
Although not confirmed, we're going to speculate that Erica Mena watched the "Basketball Wives LA" reunion show on DVR Tuesday morning. This is due to the fact that within minutes, Mena tweeted several times regarding the show and specifically regarding Sundy Carter. Erica talked about what is okay and what is not when fighting with co-stars on a reality TV series. She would know too because she's had her own fair share of drama.
Sundy Carter was in the center of a lot of self made drama on season 3 of "Basketball Wives LA." She started off the season fighting with Brandi after she asked Sundy what the deal was with Sundy's daughter. She didn't appreciate the fact that Brandi even asked about rumors that Sundy posted a very lewd picture of her own daughter on Twitter and carried that grudge right on through to the last episode.
In the season finale, you see an epic catfight that starts with Sundy calling Brandi stupid. Of course Brandi lashed back and reminded Sundy that she is known because she has a child with a married NBA player. Sundy then fought back by making fun of Brandi's battle with ovarian cancer and troubles getting pregnant.
Sundy also went right in on Draya, constantly bringing up her stripper past. It got so bad with Draya that when they were arguing, Sundy started talking badly about her parenting skills and making fun of her son. That is obviously drawing the line and it ended in Sundy receiving a black eye.
Erica talked about these events on Twitter saying, "Defend you at all times always. I live that move. But you are nobody no matter who you are to cut throat with a child or health issue." That wasn't all though. In a very short time, Mena tweeted eight times about the "BBWLA" reunion show directly with a few other tweets that were indirectly talking about the events also.
In the end, Mena send her plea to both show creator Shaunie O'Neal and VH1 to please get rid of Sundy Carter. She said:
You can't EVER respect a thing that would violate they own child. @VH1 @ShaunieONeal Please never give that thing a check again
I hope the one good eye @SUNDYCARTER has left helps her to see how weak and disgusting she is. It's Never too late to wash away your filth
To sum it all up, you could say that Erica Mena is Team Draya. Being a reality TV star herself, she makes it clear that there is a line that you do not cross no matter how desperate you are for ratings. What do you think of Erica Mena going all in on Sundy Carter via Twitter?

DIY: Marshmallow Treat Pops
Several people have asked about the marshmallow pops pictured in the Pink Ribbon Tree Centerpiece DIY (posted earlier today) – so here are the details on how to make these fun – and SUPER easy! – little treats, as well as the display tray pictured above.
I first discovered the marshmallow pop idea on Kim's Lollipop Party feature. She used chocolate and rainbow sprinkles on her marshmallows to mimic the look of Bakerella's adorable cupcake pops… a genius shortcut, especially when you're pressed for time!
Here are the DIY details:
For the Pink Marshmallow Pops:
You'll need:
pink Candy Melts
pink M&M's (or similar)
white nonpareils
lollipop sticks
1. Insert the lollipop sticks into the marshmallows & set aside.
2. Melt the candy in the microwave, according to package instructions.
3. Dip each marshmallow (with stick) into the melted candy, until about ½ of the marshmallow is coated.
4. Sprinkle with nonpareils and top with a pink M&M while candy coating is still warm.
For the Presentation/Display:
You'll need:
craft styrofoam sheet – approx 1″ thick
shallow vase/container (such as the 6.75″ ceramic dish used here)
decorative pink ribbon
pink rhinestones (optional)
1. Measure your vase/container, and cut a piece of the styrofoam sheet to match.
2. Place the styrofoam piece in the container. (If the fit is not snug, add smaller pieces of styrofoam to close up any gaps.)
3. Pour pink M&Ms (or other candies) on top of the styrofoam until it's completely covered.
4. Insert the finished marshmallow pops into the styrofoam, in neat rows.
Shopping Resources:
• styrofoam sheets, pink Candy Melts, pink M&Ms, white nonpareils, lollipop sticks, ribbon, & pink rhinestones – ALL from Michaels
• 6.75″ White Ceramic Low Dish – Wholesale Flowers
*These pink marshmallow pops are actually part of a larger Pink Dessert Buffet we shot a couple weeks ago in honor of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month… full details to come soon!

These are so cute :) I think they'd be really yummy using chocolate & mini butterscotch chips, too.

oh yes, they are! when i made them, I had chocolate left over, and i dipped ladyfingers in it and made little guys out of them: http://fun.kyti.me/index.php/2011/03/marshmallow-ladyfinger-pops/
blakely SAYS:
I tried this for my friends baby shower and they were a hit. it was so much fun and i was so proud of myself for doing them. I'm not the most crafty or the best in the kitchen.
I'm now doing them for a friend and need to incorporate black in the bowl somehow. I have glass rectangular bowls i am using and will be doing the marshmellows the same as pictured here.

Gina met Dr. Tarro and learned about a new procedure for folks - like her - who have chronic sinusitis.
PAWTUCKET, RI (NBC) - It's one of the most common health conditions for millions of us.
Sinusitis can be treated with antibiotics, but when it becomes a chronic problem, surgery might be the answer.
And now there's a new kinder, gentler procedure that can cut patients' pain and recovery time.
For one solid year, Gina Washington suffered with sinusitis. It totally affected her life.
"I couldn't smell, I couldn't taste and I was getting bad migraine headaches," said Gina. "Right over my eyes was the worst."
"In terms of health care costs, it costs the country a good $250 million to $300 million a year," said Otolaryngologist Dr. John Tarro.
Tarro explains sinusitis is an inflammation of the sinus passages.
"When they get inflamed, the opening to the sinuses can get obstructed, and then mucous builds up in the sinuses that gets infected and it leads to pain, fevers and the discharge that a lot of patients will come in to the office with," said Tarro.
Gina tried over the counter medications, and was put on antibiotics. Nothing helped.
Finally, she couldn't take it anymore, and that's when she met Dr. Tarro and learned about a new procedure for folks - like her - who have chronic sinusitis.
Here is how it works. A small cable is fed in to the sinus, and it's flexible so it can follow the natural pathways which aren't always straight. It goes in to the sinus and then we put a balloon catheter over it, almost like angioplasty in the heart and the balloon dilates the opening to the sinus.
Dr. Tarro says long term data shows balloon sinuplasty is very effective in opening the sinus passages, for many people, permanently.

Choosing the Best Lawn Mower Features for You
When you stop in at the Lawn and Garden department of any big retailer or an outdoor power equipment dealer, you are likely to be overwhelmed by the range of options available when it comes to gas-powered lawn mowers. Fortunately, a knowledgeable salesperson can help you make sense of it all, but it does help to do some investigating ahead of time so you know what features make the most sense for you and your specific property needs.
Briggs & Stratton has a detailed push mower buying guide and riding mower buying guide to help you take into account all of the considerations. And with so many features and advanced technologies on today's mowers, you'll want to know the best lawn mower features for you and your yard care needs.
Before you buy a mower, check out this quick and easy features guide to help you choose between the diverse line-up of push and riding mowers.
Starting Systems: Pull Cord vs. Turn Key vs. Push Start Lawn Mower
- An electric starting systems is as simple as priming the engine and turning the key.
- An automatic choke starting system comes ready to run. Simply engage the safety handle and pull the starter rope for a hassle free start that completely eliminates priming or choking.
- A primer starting system pumps the exact amount of gas into the carburetor to allow quick and easy one pull starts.
- Briggs & Stratton offers the ReadyStart™ system on push mowers and select riding mowers. Simply pull the rope, turn the key or push the button and mow.
Mulching Mower vs. Grass Catcher
Do you plan to bag your grass or mulch it and return the clippings to the lawn as a natural fertilizer?
A bagging mower with grass catcher options (available in both rear and side bagging models) leaves your fresh-cut lawn looking clean.
A mulching lawn mower not only provide that natural fertilizer to your lawn, but also saves time since you won't be stopping to empty bags full of grass clippings.
Folding & Quiet Mowers: New Lawn Mower Features this Spring
If you're worried about where you're going to store your new lawn mower, you should consider the new Mow 'n' Stow engine innovation available exclusively on Toro folding lawn mowers at HomeDepot.com. The engine has been redesigned so the mower can be stored uprigt without the worry of leaking gas or oil. The best part? It uses 70% less floor space in your garage than a traditional mower.
Another feature you may want to consider is engine noise. If you know that you have to mow the lawn early in the morning or in the summer evening, consider the new QPT quiet lawn mower engine featured on select Craftsman mowers at Sears stores and Sears.com. This mower is 65 perfect quieter when compared with our standard 725 Series™ and has the same power with less vibration and smoother operation. Not to mention happy neighbors.
These are just a few of the considerations you will want to take into account before hitting the outdoor power equipment dealer or retailer. Our buying guides offer additional and more detailed information.
What features are most important to you when shopping for a new lawn mower? Share in the comments section!

The Northeast Rod & Custom Show event concluded Sunday, March 23 with the announcement that the winner of the 2014 Northeast Cup is Alan Beers of Owasso, OK with his 1957 Chevrolet pickup, "Quicksilver". The three day event at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Oaks, PA drew thousands of enthusiasts looking for an escape from the harsh winter that the Northeast has experienced this year and the entries did not disappoint.
The winning truck, "Quicksilver" had a notable 2013 campaign on the show circuit winning Truck of the Year and being in the "Great 8" at the coveted Ridler awards at the Detroit Autorama. It also placed in the top ten out of 2600 entries at SEMA. The fit and finish are flawless with painstaking attention to detail that few vehicles can hope to achieve. The interior was fabricated using ten hides of Mercedes-Benz leather along with many one-off pieces of brightwork.
Every exterior panel has been reshaped in one form or another. The top has been chopped three inches with custom, flush mount windshield and back glass. The cowl was filled and moved forward. The bed with custom tailgate was modified to accept the 22 inch wheels that have "Quicksilver" etched in the hubs. A one-off tail light bar was added with a roll pan to smooth the rear of this beauty. The taillights are reminiscient of the 1962 Impala.
Out front, the custom grill sits atop a narrowed and reshaped bumper which complements the reworked front fenders and custom inner fenders and belly pan. Adding to the smooth look of the inner fenders is the reshaped firewall that serves to pay homage to the 540 cubic inch Chevy big block that produces 650 horsepower. Velocity stacks from an updated Crower mechanical fuel injection system (now EFI) lend a clean and unique under hood appearance.
Quicksilver was built by Jim and Jason Smith of Hot Rod Garage in Sand Springs, OK.

College Hockey:Top Ten Hobey Baker Finalists Named
ST. PAUL, Minn. — 2005 Hobey Baker Memorial Award winner Marty Sertich of Colorado College officially has a chance to repeat, as his name was among the 10 finalists for the 2006 award announced Thursday by the Hobey Baker Foundation.
Sertich was once again joined by teammate Brett Sterling as a finalist; those two comprised two-thirds of last year's Hobey Hat Trick. The two seniors led the Tigers in scoring this season, as Sertich has 14 goals and 34 assists and Sterling, 31 goals and 23 assists.
Colorado College's in-state rival, Denver, had defenseman Matt Carle named as a Hobey Baker finalist. Carle leads the nation in assists with 42, and tops all defensemen in points with 53 points.
Also named was junior goaltender Brian Elliott of Wisconsin, who leads the nation in wins with 22 and winning percentage at .810. He also tops the nation with a goals against average of 1.68.
Ryan Potulny of Minnesota is the fifth member of the top 10 from the WCHA. He leads the country in goals with 34, and his 58 points is second in the nation.
The CCHA placed two players among the list of finalists as Scott Parse of Nebraska-Omaha and Andy Greene of Miami were selected.
Parse leads the nation with 61 points (20-41–61) a mark that has set a school record for the Mavericks. He was also a unanimous First Team All-CCHA selection.
Greene, a stalwart on defense for Miami, was the other unanimous All-CCHA First Teamer, and has been an All-CCHA selection for the past three seasons. The reliable captain has not missed a single game in his four years at Miami.
Hockey East placed two in the top 10: Greg Moore of Maine and Chris Collins of Boston College.
Moore is the leading scorer for Maine with 26 goals and 16 assists. His 26 goals ranks sixth in the nation and he also tied for the Hockey East goal-scoring title with 18 conference tallies.
Collins tied Moore in Hockey East goals, but won the Hockey East scoring title with 39 points in conference play, six point more than the competition. He has 30 goals and 27 assists overall.
T.J. Trevelyan of St. Lawrence rounds out the list. The senior forward leads all ECACHL players in points with 48, scoring 20 goals and 28 assists. That also helped him capture the ECACHL conference scoring title with 32 points (12-20–32).
The top three finalists will be announced as the "Hobey Hat Trick" on March 29, 2006. The three members of the Hat Trick will be present at the Bradley Center on April 7, when the winner will be announced at 7:30 ET.

By Jordan Parry, SDA Media Relations
MARANA, Ariz. -- The fourth and final round of the 2014 Men's Golf Pac-12 Championship came to a conclusion Sunday afternoon from the Gallery Golf Club in Marana, Ariz. Despite shooting its second lowest combined round as a team Sunday, No. 25 Arizona State (379-360-384-364-1487) dropped one position and finished the 55th annual tournament in 6th place. Stanford, who opened up a wide lead in Friday's second round, brought home 1st place honors at -2 overall.
With the victory, Stanford becomes the seventh school to take home the team title since 2004 as ASU (2008), USC (2007 and 2011), UCLA (2006), Washington (2005, 2009 and 2010), Arizona (2004) and California (2012 and 2013) all have taken home a trophy in the past 11 tournaments.
Stanford also had two of the top three overall individual finishers, as No. 1 ranked Patrick Rodgers took 1st place overall at -7, while No. 2 Cameron Wilson placed 3rd at -4. Cheng-Tsung Pan of Washington took 2nd place at -5.
ASU's 6th place finish might not have been the exact outcome hoped for by head coach Tim Mickelson and his crew of Sun Devil golfers, but the result still carried heavy implications for the athletic department and Sun Devil Nation as a whole. Because ASU finished ahead of in-state rival Arizona on the course this weekend, the Devils received one full point in the annual Territorial Cup standings, improving its total to 10.5 total points for the year. The full point proved to be the clinching point for the 2013-14 series, giving Arizona State the Territorial Cup series win, as the school who places higher in the Pac-12 Championship earns the full point.
"There's always consolation in beating Arizona," Mickelson said. "It feels very good earning our Territorial Cup and feels even better being the team to secure the Territorial Cup series for ASU and all ASU fans.
"The team is excited about winning the Territorial Cup but none of us are content with our finish. We will be working hard to be prepared for the NCAA Regionals in a couple weeks."
Arizona State entered the final round in 5th place and shot +4 on the day, right in the middle of the pack for fourth round scores. It took a final round charge by Colorado, whose -6 on Sunday tied the lowest round team score produced by Stanford in round two, to surpass the Devils on the final day of competition.
"We got off to a great start today in the final round," Mickelson stated. "We had things going well but as we made the turn to the back 9 holes the wind started to come up. Golf in itself is frustrating. The most frustrating part is seeing the guys play so well and then have a couple bad tee shots or unlucky breaks kill any momentum you may have."
The top individual finisher for ASU was junior Austin Quick (75-72-76-72-295), who has shown the ability throughout his three seasons at Arizona State to shine under the spotlight. Quick finished in a tie for 22nd place at +7 overall after shooting even-par 72 on Sunday for the second time in three rounds. He capped off his impressive all-around tournament by recording birdie on the par-5, 690-yard 18th hole, a hole in which he bogeyed each of the two previous rounds.
Sophomore Max Rottluff (78-68-77-75-298) began the day in a tie with Quick for 22nd, but slipped down the leaderboard and finished in a tie for 28th place despite also recording his second lowest score of the tournament in the final round.
Like Quick and Rottluff, many golfers regained their stroke on the course Sunday much in thanks to the cooperating weather. The average stroke score for Saturday's third round in the rain and heavy winds jumped to 77.32, the highest of any round, but dropped to 73.67 on Sunday, the lowest of any round. The overall stroke average for all four rounds finished at 75.40.
Moving down the ASU leaderboard in order, junior Broc Johnson (72-79-76-74-301) and sophomore Jon Rahm (77-75-77-72-301) both completed their final rounds tied for 36th place at +13. Johnson birdied back-to-back holes on one and two, but could only manage one more birdie in the remaining 16 holes, thus dropping three positions from where he began the day.
Rahm, on the other hand, put together his best round of the tournament on Sunday. He shot even-par and was aided by back-to-back eagles on seven and eight. Rahm has now recorded 21 eagles in his 80 rounds played as a Sun Devil, the most of any Arizona State golfer since 1993-94 when Golfstat began tracking college statistics. Rahm's 21 eagles bests former ASU greats such as Alejandro Canizares (15 eagles in 152 rounds), Scott Pinckey (16 eagles in 121 rounds) and Niklas Lemke (16 eagles in 151 rounds).
ASU freshman Blake Cannon (77-73-80-72-302) also shot even-par over the course of his final 18 holes and finished one stroke behind Johnson and Rahm at +14 and in a tie for 40th place in his first crack in a Pac-12 Championship event.
"I was again impressed with Blake Cannon's play," Mickelson said. "He's played very solid for us the last three events--very steady."
Co-freshman Nicolo Galletti (81-72-78-74-305) rounded out the Sun Devil field with a tie for 47th place and finished Sunday at just +2.
Arizona State has roughly three weeks off to focus on NCAA Regionals from Eugene, Ore. spanning May 15-17, as the Devils aim to play their way into late May's NCAA Championships.

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah -
Senior Davellyn Whyte (Phoenix, Ariz.) posted her third double-double of the season to lead Arizona women's basketball (11-5, 3-2) past Utah (9-7, 0-5), 62-58 on Friday night in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Whyte scored 23 points, grabbed 10 rebounds, dished out six assists and added six steals for her 25th-consecutive game in double figures.
Junior Carissa Crutchfield (Ft. Gibson, Okla.) posted 11 points for the Wildcats, while sophomore Layana White (Lancaster, Calif.) added eight points and five rebounds.
As a team, UA shot 49 percent (25-of-51) from the field and 100 percent (8-of-8) from the charity stripe, including three clutch free throws in the last 14 seconds by Whyte and White.
In addition, the Wildcats forced 19 turnovers by a team that averages 12.7 per game and outrebounded the Utes, 31-27.
"We battled the entire game," Arizona head coach Layana White hit big free throws down the stretch."
Arizona came out strong in the first half, scoring the first four points to take a seven-point lead early in the game. The Wildcats forced 12 Utah turnovers and shot 60 percent from the field. Whyte led the team with seven points, six rebounds and four assists, while Crutchfield added seven points and three steals.
In the second half, Utah came out strong, taking its first lead at the 14:32 mark. Arizona did not let up and from that point there were six ties and eight lead changes. The Utes took a 58-57 lead with 30 seconds remaining, but Whyte was fouled on a made basket and the Wildcats took a 60-58 lead with 14.2 seconds left in the game. Utah missed its last three free throws and White made the last two to seal the win, 62-58.
Michelle Plouffe led the Utes with 18 points, nine rebounds and five steals.
The Wildcats will be back in action on Sunday, Jan. 20 to take on No. 25 Colorado in Boulder, Colo. at 2 p.m.

Environmental Non-Profit Endorses First Utility Solar Project
The Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) holds no power to approve or disapprove of solar projects. Or do they? Fierce opposition from NRDC and other environmental groups has been enough to hold up for years several utility-scale solar projects in the American Southwest, primarily in California. For this reason it is significant to report today that NRDC has come out in favor of its first solar project: the Lucerne Valley Solar Project near Victorville, CA in San Bernardino County.
In her NRDC blog, Johanna Wald, a senior attorney for the organization, writes that the Lucerne Valley Project "is the first solar power project…that we believe strikes the balance between meeting our clean energy needs and protecting important resources on our public lands."
The Lucerne solar project passed its final environmental review last Friday. Upon completion, it will produce 45 megawatts of solar power, enough to power 20,000 California homes. The project will also create temporary and permanent jobs in San Bernardino County, which has been hit hard by the recession, maintaining unemployment rates of 14 percent, according to Wald.
While the NRDC maintains that no solar power plant can have zero environmental impact, the Lucerne site has several factors in its favor (in addition to producing clean, emissions-free electricity) helping it to meet "most of [NRDC's] criteria for a responsibly sited solar project."
The 516 acres on which the plant is to be built has low value to scenery and wildlife, contains no habitat for designated critical species and no special management areas. It is undeveloped but does contain some disturbed land, apparently the result of mineral exploration. Several old buildings and grades roads already exist, it is relatively close to urbanized areas and the existing electric grid and is designated as part of the Bureau of Land Management's development corridor. In other words, this land has been made available for some kind of intensive use, and to the NRDC, it seems, there's no better use than the creation of clean, renewable energy.
This is the first large-scale solar project endorsed by the NRDC, but it is not the first renewable energy project. A transmission line connecting renewable resources in the Mojave Desert to Los Angeles Metro area via the Interstate 10 corridor was also approved.
The 45-MW Lucerne Valley Solar Project will be built by Chevron Energy Solutions, the renewable energy arm of Chevron, one of the world's largest multinational oil and gas companies.

GOLDEN, Colo. - Former Colorado School of Mines football players Kaleb Anderson, Marc Schiechl and Blaine Sumner worked out for professional scouts from the NFL's Buffalo Bills, Denver Broncos and Green Bay Packers on Tuesday afternoon during a Pro Day on the CSM campus.
Anderson, Schiechl and Sumner, who performed strength, agility and speed tests, all finished their careers at Mines in 2010.
All three former Orediggers plan to work out at the U.S. Air Force Academy Pro Day on Monday, March 14th, at 2:00 p.m. in Colorado Springs.
A 6'3", 270-lb. defensive lineman from Littleton, Colo. (Bear Creek High School), Anderson was ranked second in the RMAC in tackles for a loss (16.0) and third in the conference in forced fumbles (four) in 2010. Anderson, who was ninth in the RMAC in sacks (tied - 4.5) last fall, finished first on the team in solo tackles (tied - 37) and second on the team in total tackles (67). A Second Team All-RMAC selection in 2010, Anderson scored his first collegiate touchdown on a fumble recovery in the Grand Valley State endzone in the Orediggers' playoff game in Allendale, Mich., on November 20th.
A 6'3", 260-lb. defensive lineman from Lakewood, Colo. (Bear Creek High School), Schiechl finished as the runner-up for the 2010 Gene Upshaw NCAA Division II Lineman of the Year Award. Schiechl became the all-time NCAA Division II career leader in sacks (46.0) during the 2010 season and concluded his career at CSM ranked fourth in the NCAA Division II record book in career tackles for a loss (70.5). Schiechl, who selected as the Defensive Player of the Game at the 2011 Cactus Bowl (annual NCAA Division II all-star football game), also earned First Team Don Hansen All-Super Region Three honors in 2010. Schiechl also garnered AP Little All-America, Daktronics All-America, First Team D2football.com All-America, First Team Don Hansen All-America and AFCA All-America recognition this season to become the first three-time All-American (2008, 2009, 2010) in the history of the CSM football program. Selected as the Daktronics Super Region #3 Defensive Player of the Year and the Don Hansen National Defensive Player of the Year, Schiechl also earned Daktronics Super Region #3 First Team Defense recognition, collecting the most votes among defensive linemen. A First Team All-Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference pick (lone unanimous selection on defense) in 2010, Schiechl was also named RMAC Defensive Player of the Year for the second consecutive season. Furthermore, Schiechl garnered First Team National Football Foundation All-Colorado accolades and was selected as the NFFCC Defensive Player of the Year. Schiechl led the RMAC and tied for fifth in the nation in sacks (12.0) in 2010. Schiechl also finished first in the RMAC and eighth (tied) in the nation in tackles for a loss (19.0), as well as first in the RMAC and third in the nation in forced fumbles (six). Schiechl concluded the year with 66 total tackles (34 solo), five quarterback hurries and two blocked kicks.
Sumner, a 6'2", 330-lb. defensive lineman who hails from Conifer, Colo. (Conifer High School), earned First Team All-RMAC, First Team NFF All-Colorado and Third Team Don Hansen All-Super Region Three accolades following the conclusion of his senior season. Sumner had 32 total tackles (14 solo), led CSM with three blocked kicks and registered 6.5 tackles for a loss last season. Sumner, who added three passes defended and two fumble recoveries, had 10 carries for 19 yards (1.9 avg.) as a short-yardage specialist on the CSM offense. A Pre-Season All-RMAC selection, Sumner was second on the team with four rushing TD.

Confessions of a Shopaholic was a delight to watch, but going into debt for the sake of fashion is no laughing matter. A savvy fashionista should know how to set, and stick to, her budget.
Because of the current recession, and yes folks we are in one, fashion-forward women are finding many clever ways of stretching the almighty dollar. Not only are sales a shopper's best friend but discount stores, thrift and consignment shops, and antique boutiques as well. Many a bargain awaits for the serious treasure hunter.
But first one must set some ground rules.
Set a budget. Be diligent here and do not exceed your spending limit. Kathryn Finney's book How to be a Budget Fashionista includes a budget form as well as great advice to get you started.
Carry only cash. Leave the credit card at home.
Do not open store credit cards. The APR's are killer.
Have a shopping strategy. Ask yourself, Do I really need this? If you are shopping for a new coat, you don't really need that lavish cocktail dress.
Know a sale when you see one. A $20.00 cashmere sweater is probably blended with a much cheaper fabric.
Focus on pieces that will fit into your existing wardrobe. Be sure they are made of fine quality fabrics and carefully constructed. If there are snags or tears, leave it. It's not a "bargain" if you have to take them to the tailor.
Shop on Monday, the least busy shopping day of the week.
Shop off season.
Sign up for store coupons and get to know the sales staff. Often they will let you know of an upcoming sale.
My husband and I went on a shopping expedition on Valentines Day where we frequented some of our favorite bargain stores in Parkville.
Rugged Warehouse is probably the least likely place you'd ever expect to find a fashionista, but let me tell you there are some bargains to be had. I found 3 pairs of jeans at $9.99 each, 1 belt at $6.99, 1 pair of sandals at $4.99, 1 pair of pointy-toed flats at $3.00, and some knee high socks for $3.99 bringing my total sale to $48.94.
We continued our pillaging at ROSS where I found the most beautiful retro inspired, peplum jacket for a mere $13.99. This made my grand total for the day $62.93.
With just a little practice, you too can become a budget fashionista.

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. - Following a month-plus break away from competition, the Northern Illinois University track & field team got back Saturday in Champaign, Ill., with a third place finish at the Illini Classic. In total, the Huskies accumulated 73.5 points in the meet, besting Mid-American Conference rival Western Michigan by nearly 20 points. Host Illinois won the meet, while Memphis took second place in the final standings. "The team had solid performances today at Illinois," said NIU head coach Connie Teaberry. "Due to the break, their technique is a little rusty, but they still exhibited strong efforts. We will continue to work on our mindset, form and aggressiveness, which should yield improvements each week." In sprints, A'Iesha Irvin-Muhammad (East St. Louis, Ill./St. Elizabeth Academy) was the star of the day, notching an event title and a second-place finish inside the UI Armory. The freshman claimed runner-up honors in the 60 meters, running 7.73 in the prelims to advance, then crossed the line at 7.64 in the finals. Not only did she claim silver at the meet, but her finals time also clinched an automatic berth into the MAC Indoor Championships in the event. Later on, Irvin-Muhammad brought home top honors in the 200 meters by breaking the tape at 25.10. Teammate Tahtyana Peer (Milwaukee, Wis./King) was not far behind, placing second with a time of 25.15. Both of those marks earned Irvin-Muhammad and Peer a place in the conference indoor meet field. Claudette Day (Belleville, Ill./Belleville West), who officially joined the team earlier this week, made quite the first impression in her collegiate debut with a fifth-place showing in the 60 hurdles. The Belleville, Ill., native ran 8.91 in the prelims to notch the sixth-best time, then moved up one spot in the finals with an 8.83 clip. She showed her versatility by taking third place in the long jump with a mark of 18-03.25 (5.57m).
