We've been having an incredibly eventful time in Sydney... I guess having a show and 3 days off in the city makes that a little easier. We've been hanging out with our band buddies nonstop getting breakfast at the same spot each morning (a normal meal is MINIMUM ten dollars here.. craziness!)
We went to Bondi Beach where they film the show Bondi Rescue. Saw some amazing scenery, felt some freezing water, and walked all over for hours. The next day we went to the aquarium, the Sydney Opera House and... saw Hugh Jackman! Pretty crazy stuff going on and it's all been an amazing time.
OH! Almost forgot, we got to play an in-store acoustic show at Resist Records in Sydney! The place was awesome and Nick/Ryan played with Forrest from Hellogoodbye going back and forth between songs.

Why do those who support gun control also support abortion? It is right that we should be concerned by murder, whether by vehicle, knife, blunt instrument, or gun. Should we be as concerned by going as far as removing a baby from its mother's womb with cold, steel tongs?
Separation of church and state is separating us from God, for certain.

The following is a list of the five best mobile phones that we give a rating of 5 stars, including the Samsung Tocco Lite, Samsung Jet, Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, Samsung Genio Touch and Apple iPhone 3G S.
Samsung Tocco Lite. Available in black or pink, the Samsung Tocco Lite is seen as a response to the LG Cookie. The touchscreen mobile phone is great value for money, but lacks 3G. All the features you would expect from a modern mobile phone are included, with easy access to popular websites such as YouTube and Facebook, a 3.2 megapixel camera, FM radio with RDS, video recording, music player, Bluetooth and a memory card slot. It's available for free on contract with a range of free gifts, such as a laptop, free line rental or an X-Box 360!
Samsung Jet. This attractive slimline phone is extremely fast and responsive. Not only does it deliver a lot of features and good quality, but it comes at a middle-of-the-road price. It delivers access to a range of online widgets, fantastic web browser, multi-tasking and a fast processor to handle it all. It comes with a 5 megapixel camera with flash and autofocus, FM radio with RDS, music player and a fantastic AMOLED display. This great phone comes packed with incredible features.
Nokia 5800 XpressMusic. Available in Black, red and blue, the first touchscreen phone to be released by Nokia is very impressive. Some may say that the list of great features make it better than the iPhone, even if the iPhone seems more polished. The benefits include a 3.2 megapixel with Carl Zeiss optics, 3G video calling, a Flash supported web browser, and the touchscreen offers an extremely high resolution with 16 million colours. In addition, a music player with FM radio, GPS positioning, WiFi, Bluetooth and an 8GB memory card!
Samsung Genio Touch. Similar to the Tocco Lite, this touchscreen mobile phone is ideal for those looking at entry-level. The camera is more basic than the Tocco Lite, and the screen smaller, but MySpace, Facebook and Twitter are easily accessible. With its bargain price-tag, the Genio Touch is an all-round great phone.
Apple iPhone 3G S. Last, but by no means least, the iPhone is the best known and quite easily the greatest phone to ever be released. This isn't just a phone, but equally a media player and internet device, too. Also included are GPS, a digital compass, WiFi, extremely fast web browsing and there are thousands of applications available. Complete with 32GB of memory, a mountain of music storage is possible. The only problem is that most of us will have to wait for the high price to drop!

The Buffalo School Board voted Wednesday to renew Enterprise Charter School for two years after its January vote approving three years was shot down by the state Board of Education.
Board members took Superintendent Pamela C. Brown's recommendation to say in their resolution that one year would be acceptable if a two-year time frame was not, along with an explanation and what Enterprise needed to be accountable for.
Brown said it was initially thought the school's evaluation hinged on operational compliance and fiscal stability, which have been two areas of success. Later, she was informed learning student performance, such as lagging scores in English language arts, also had to be weighed.
"One of the major considerations is whether the school is meeting its own identified targets and goals, and in this case it has not been the case across the board for this school," Brown said.
She recommended a one-year renewal before saying two years could also be acceptable if the state was agreeable.
"This will give us the opportunity to look at the school's performance this year, in the third year of the new leadership's tenure. That has been the term that's been looked at as a measure of success," Brown said.
Some board members raised concerns that Enterprise was being held to a higher standard than some other charter schools that have been granted three-year renewals despite weaker evaluations.
"There is a double standard as to why they're looking at this charter school differently than the previous ones," said Ferry District member Sharon Belton-Cottman.
"There seems to be an inequity of power and influence," said Florence Johnson, member at large.
North District member Jason M. McCarthy expressed concern that no parents would want to enroll their children in kindergarten if they thought Enterprise could close in a year.
Also at the School Board meeting, Joseph P. Giusana, chief operating officer of the Division of Plant Services, said progress was being made at the newly renovated Math Science Technology School 197 in determining what was causing bad odors and sewage backup problems that have affected six or seven classrooms and caused students and faculty to become sick.
Among the findings so far, Giusana said, were sink and drain lines that were not properly capped and which could be a source of sewer gas getting into the building.
Also, Tamara Branch, a former principal at Compton High School in Los Angeles who has been hired as field manager at Lafayette and East High Schools, was well received by the board as she gave a spirited presentation on how she hopes to turn those underperforming schools around.

We present a general equilibrium model to understand the implications of short-term debt playing a special role in an economy in providing liquidity and facilitating transactions. In our model the supplies of short-term public and private debt are an endogenous outcome of optimal actions by the treasury and private financial intermediaries. Our model leads to the following three predictions. (1) A higher supply of public debt leads to a lower liquidity premium on treasuries, which tends to raise its pecuniary return (i.e., risk free rate). (2) A higher supply of public debt leads to a lower supply of private debt as private financial intermediaries compete with government debt in providing liquidity services. (3) A rise in aggregate uncertainty leads to a fall in private sector debt and a rise in public debt. Using data from 1950 to 2009 we find strong empirical support for all these predictions. In all, our model helps understand fluctuations in the availability of short-term private and public debt in a changing macro-economic environment.

Two Batavia firefighters knew the odds were stacked against them when Genesee County Sheriff's Sgt. Steve Mullen began investigating allegations that they had illegal second jobs as bookies.
Mullen reportedly was a gambler himself and had often placed bets on college and professional football games with one of the firefighters.
"When I heard that Sgt. Mullen was investigating, I thought he was being a hypocrite and that the Genesee County Sheriff's [Office] should be looking to see if he was gambling while on duty," Brian Bordinaro said of the investigation that ended firefighting careers for him and Greg Phillips.
Genesee County Sheriff Gary T. Maha said Mullen was investigated for alleged gambling, but before any departmental charges could be considered, the sergeant retired last year. The sheriff also pointed out that while it is illegal to be a bookie, people placing bets are not breaking the law.
"We were conducting an internal investigation once the allegations were brought to our attention by an attorney for one of the firefighters," Maha said. "It's not against the law to place a bet. However, it would be a violation of our department rules and regulations. It was our understanding the most recent bets were over four to five years ago."
Bordinaro, Phillips and Phillips' brother-in-law, Lance Engel, were sentenced Tuesday in Batavia City Court to three years' probation and 13 weekends in a work-release program after pleading guilty to reduced class-A misdemeanor charges of promoting gambling. The plea deal required them to resign from the public payroll. Prosecutors said each man made tens of thousands of dollars from gambling operations.
Bordinaro, 44, squeaked into retirement with just barely 20 years in the state pension system, enough to give him half-pay.
Phillips was not so lucky. The 40-year-old former firefighter, who was Mullen's alleged bookie, had 18½ years of service and reportedly has found a new career.
Engel, 42, resigned from his job as a chef at a state nursing home for veterans in Batavia and now works elsewhere in the food preparation industry.
If the three men had been convicted of the original charges – dozens of felony gambling counts – they would have faced up to 20 years behind bars.
That did not happen, because the case was compromised by Mullen's prior dealings with Phillips and by the former sergeant's subsequent failure to inform his supervisors, according to Thomas J. Keane, attorney for Bordinaro.
A private investigation revealed that Mullen had made more than 120 phone calls to Phillips, the attorney said. Mullen allegedly made the calls on cell phones that were issued through a "Verizon Wireless Law Enforcement Resource Team" contract.
The calls started in 2006, after Mullen allegedly told Phillips he wanted to begin placing bets on football games. The calls continued into 2011 and were made mostly during football season.
Keane, a retired Buffalo police lieutenant, said he hired GDY Private Investigations and that investigator Richard Donovan, a former Erie County undersheriff and Buffalo police commissioner, was able to secure the phone records and carry out interviews that established the betting relationship between Mullen and Phillips.
Mullen "was placing bets over the phone and delivered money to the defendant's home," Donovan stated in his report.
Donovan alerted a Genesee County Sheriff's Office official about his findings and was told that the department was starting an internal investigation and would discuss the situation with the Genesee County District Attorney's Office.
Maha said that if he had known about the gambling allegations involving the sergeant, he would have not allowed Mullen to head the probe.
"Mullen never brought it to our attention," Maha said. "If he had, we would have assigned another investigator."
The sergeant's gambling investigation began in October 2011 and is believed to have been initiated after some friction between a fire captain and Phillips, a union steward.
"There was an issue involving overtime. Phillips was arguing it with a fire captain, and then the captain complained to the fire chief that Phillips was a bookie," Keane said.
Greg Ireland, president of Local 896, City of Batavia Firefighters, agreed in part with that scenario.
"There were some differences between firefighters and officers over internal matters, and Phillips was very vocal," Ireland said, adding that Mullen was threatening when he interviewed city firefighters. "While he was interviewing, he threatened their jobs and said, 'If you don't want to talk to me here at the firehouse, I'll come to your house and talk to you in front of your family.' "
Keane insists neither Bordinaro nor Phillips ever took bets while working at the city firehouse. Prosecutors said they have evidence that the two received phone calls and texts while on city time.
In another development, Keane said he and his client have cooperated with the FBI, which is looking into the Sheriff's Office investigation because of possible violations of law in how Mullen obtained the search warrants for the firefighters' work lockers and residences.
Maha confirmed that the FBI requested records on the investigation and said the records had been turned over.
Efforts to reach Mullen, who now works as a school security officer at the Holley Central School District, were unsuccessful.

, updated March 21, 2013 at 2:47 AM
ALBANY – Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo and legislative leaders reached a tentative deal on the 2013 state budget Wednesday night, with plans to hike the minimum wage, cut taxes next year for hundreds of thousands of families and lower certain business taxes in a fiscal plan that will ending up totaling about $142 billion.
However, Cuomo and lawmakers told reporters that a long menu of major items still needs to be resolved, including how much money will go to schools, details about the phase-out of a utility tax, cuts in programs for developmentally disabled people and how lawmakers might have more say over the spending of economic development money.
At a hastily called news conference, Cuomo described the deal as "an agreement in concept,'' and Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver labeled it a "conceptual framework.''
Precise details will be coming out in budget bills over the next 48 hours, and lawmakers were told not to expect to start passing bills until at least Saturday. But here are some of the known deals:
• A $350 check will be going to several hundred thousand households – those making between $40,000 and $300,000 with at least one child 18 years old and under. The program will begin in 2014, a re-election year for Cuomo and lawmakers.
• The minimum wage would be increased from the current $7.25 an hour to $8 in January and to $9 in 2016. It would not be indexed to the inflation rate, and Silver said talks are still under way as to whether workers paid with tips will be covered.
• Other tax breaks, worth $650 million when most of them are fully phased in next year, include deductions for businesses to cover the minimum wage hike for workers under age 20; tax breaks for some companies that hire teens between 16 and 19 years old in summer jobs, and a tax credit for companies hiring veterans. An additional tax on millionaires, due to expire in 2014, also will be continued to raise money for next year.
While school districts won't know their state aid allotments for several days, Cuomo officials said the agreement adds about $110 million beyond a $890 million increase Cuomo proposed.
"The budget is very much a budget that is about creating jobs and cutting taxes,'' Cuomo said.
Pushed to the side, for now, is resolution of changes to the state's new gun-control law and whether to relax criminal penalties for relatively small amounts of marijuana possession, a matter that angered upstate Democrats because Cuomo is pressing that the lesser sanctions apply only in New York City.
Earlier in the day, lawmakers raised concerns that Cuomo has been trying to grab too much power over how state economic development money is spent through the 10 regional councils around the state.
The economic development issue is a sensitive one. The economic development councils are seen as Cuomo vehicles to disperse state cash, and while some lawmakers were put on the groups last year, Silver himself said he was denied basic information about even who was applying for grant money.
Cuomo acknowledged the issue was a topic for discussion, but defended the way his administration has given out economic development funding the past two years.
Some confusion went unresolved. Earlier on Wednesday Senate co-leader Jeff Klein, a Bronx Democrat, said the minimum wage will not be hiked for thousands of workers, such as waiters, because with tips they already make more than the $7.25 minimum wage. But Silver said Wednesday night the issue is still unresolved.
Lawmakers said they killed Cuomo's plan to expand the Lottery's Quick Draw game, which gambling-treatment experts say is especially addictive. "That's not happening,'' said one top legislator.
Another major snag all day was an effort by Cuomo to relax marijuana possession laws. But his plan would only apply to New York City, where minorities have said police target young blacks and Latinos. The idea drew sharp rebukes from upstate Democratic lawmakers, including Assemblywoman Crystal Peoples-Stokes, a Buffalo Democrat, who called the proposal unfair to young people in upstate cities.
"If we allow it to be an option for New York City, we should allow it to be an option for Buffalo and other upstate communities,'' the lawmaker said.
Apparently dead is an Assembly Democratic plan to give state college aid to children of illegal immigrants, as well as a move to give more unrestricted money to cities, towns and villages in New York. The sides agreed to let localities essentially borrow against future employee pension costs as a way to lower current obligations, but details were sketchy.
In all, the business and personal tax cuts will total $650 million, but the majority of that will not be seen until election year in 2014.

Celebrity Central / Top 25 Celebs
Megan Fox
- 2001
Mean Girl
After winning several awards in the 1999 American Modeling and Talent Convention in South Carolina, Fox makes her film debut in the Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen flick Holiday in the Sun. The straight-to-DVD release pegs Ashley's character against Fox's for the affections of a local boy. Though Fox works mostly with Ashley on the film, she says, "Mary-Kate's more my speed–she's into rock."
- 2004
Teen Queen
Fox lands her first major movie role opposite Lindsay Lohan in Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen. As queen bee of the drama club Carla Santini, Fox battles Lohan to maintain her rule. On set, "Lindsay and I weren't the best of friends," Fox tells FHM. "Because I looked older than her, she'd be nice to my face so I would buy her cigarettes."
Sitcom Star
Fox joins ABC's Hope & Faith as the 16-year old niece of show star Kelly Ripa. While on the sitcom, Fox appears in a provocative shoot for FHM and brazenly discusses her sex life: "I have the libido of a 15-year-old boy." After three seasons, Hope & Faith is canceled in 2006.
90210 Love
Fox and former Beverly Hills, 90210 heartthrob Brian Austin Green, who is 13 years her senior, meet on the set of Hope & Faith. "We've lived together for three years," Green, who proposes to Fox in 2006, tells TV Guide in 2008. "We have tattoos of each other's names." In February 2009, they call off their engagement, but remain close.
- 2007
Megan Meets Megatron
Fox shoots to fame with her scantily-clad role in Transformers, wth Shia LaBeouf and Josh Duhamel. The film grosses $700 million worldwide, and spawns the sequel, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. "If I get stuck doing comic-book films for the rest of my life, I'll be really happy," Fox tells GQ. "I love those types of movies. And I don't mind being sexy–if it's a character with a backstory and an arc and something progresses."
- 2008
Fox Covers GQ
After being crowned FHM's Sexiest Woman in the World, Fox sets tongues wagging (including her own!) with her GQ cover. The starlet, who reveals that she had a lesbian relationship with a stripper, also passionately defends Disney star Vanessa Hudgens, who endured a nude photo scandal in 2007. "You shouldn't have to apologize," says Fox. "Someone betrayed Vanessa, but no one's angry at that person. She had to apologize. I hate Disney for making her do that. F--k Disney."
- 2009
Summer's Surefire Hit
After trotting around the world promoting Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, the blockbuster sequel earns an astounding $60.6 million in its opening day, and goes on to bank over $200 million in its first five days. "It's a badass popcorn summer movie," Fox tells EW – before leaving the franchise in 2010.
Megan's Blood Work
Fox takes the title role in Jennifer's Body, a girl-gore flick (and sure-to-be cult classic) written by Juno scribe Diablo Cody. Although Fox calls it the "best script I've ever read," not even her kiss with costar Amanda Seyfried can save the film from tanking at the box office.
- 2010
Engaged…and Married!
After calling off their first engagement, Fox and longtime beau Brian Austin Green, 36, get engaged a second time and make it official while vacationing on the big island of Hawaii in June. "Yes they are married," a rep for the 24-year-old actress confirms to PEOPLE.
- 2012
Bump, There It Is!
After remaining mum on pregnancy reports, Fox, 26, debuts her burgeoning belly alongside Green during a couples retreat to Hawaii, the same place where they tied the knot two years before. Already stepmom to Green's 10-year-old son Kassius, Fox told PEOPLE, "I've always really loved kids. I was a good babysitter. I've always loved babies."

It's been a turnaround season for the Bishop Guilfoyle Catholic High School girls' soccer team.
After posting a 2-16 record a year ago, the Lady Marauders have notched a school-record 11 wins this fall, including their first-ever playoff victory - a 2-1 triumph over Penns Valley in a District 6 Class A quarterfinal match Wednesday at Mansion Park.
Second-year coach Harry McGhee has turned the program around, thanks in large part to his daughter, Alyssa, a freshman, who scored both of BG's goals Tuesday.
Coach McGhee's message to his team at the end of last season was to "stay focused and have confidence, and they've really come together.
"I told them if they put the time in it would pay off."
And, it has.
The Lady Marauders earned the third seed in the 6A playoffs, but needed to overcome an early deficit to knock off No. 6 seed Penns Valley.
Marcy Smucker, daughter of PV coach Jeff Smucker, scored from 15 yards out to get the Lady Rams on the scoreboard less than four minutes into the game.
It remained 1-0 until Alyssa McGhee drilled one into the net from 20 yards out with 19:27 left in the half.
"I was getting pressured so I opened myself up and got the shot," Alyssa said of her first goal.
The Lady Marauders scored early in the second half, and it was Alyssa McGhee again. This time, she hammered a shot that bounced off the hands of PV keeper Kylie Orndorf into the back of the net at the 37:29 mark.
"In the second half, we were pumped up, I got a shot from the corner and it went in," she said.
"It was great to win our first playoff game."
Both teams had several opportunities thwarted by outstanding defensive play.
"I can't say enough about our defense," Harry McGhee said. "Maria Ruggery is fast, plays the ball well and has a good read on the game."
He also praised daughter Alyssa's play on the offensive end.
"She had both goals today and that gives her 59 on the year," the coach said. "A lot of teams put too much attention on her and then she distributes the ball that opens things back up for her.
"Overall, we did a great job," he said. "Our outside mids, our midfields, everybody contributed. Delaney Hallinan was great. Gabby Smith [keeper] had a couple of good saves.
"I'm just real proud of the girls as we move on."
The Lady Marauders will face No. 2 seed Richland next Tuesday.
"It was a great game, a lot of fun to watch," Penns Valley coach Jeff Smucker said. "Both teams had lots of scoring opportunities, and it was back and forth.
"They've got a nice team and that number 3 [Alyssa McGhee] is a good player, so quick. We shut her down for a lot of the night, but you've got to score more than we did against a player like that."
Penns Valley1 0 - 1
Bishop Guilfoyle 1 1 - 2
First Half: PV-Smucker, 36:05. BG-McGhee, 19:27.
Second Half: BG-McGhee, 37:29.
Records: Penns Valley (5-14); Bishop Guilfoyle (11-8).

Document Actions
FACULTY & STAFF: Etiquette
Insignificant details of behavior and language can be disconcerting to some students with disabilities, as they often imply inaccurate assumptions. The Office of AccessABILITY has compiled the following information which we hope you find useful in your interactions with individuals with disabilities.
Meeting People on Wheelchairs
- Do shake a person's hand.
- Do not lean on the wheelchair.
- Avoid stiff necks! - try to get at a wheelchair user's eye level, that means you might need to kneel down or sit down.
- Do
offer assistance, wait until it is accepted and provide the help in the
way the person asks you to - and don't be offended by a refusal. These
are independent adults who are used to doing things for themselves.
- Don't worry about making mistakes - just ask.
- Talk to the person with disabilities - and not to their assistants.
Meeting People with a Hearing Loss or Speech Impairment
- Repeat or rephrase questions/comments from the class before responding.
- Face the class and speak naturally at a moderate pace.
- Avoid the temptation to pick up the pace when time is short.
- Do not speak while writing on the blackboard.
- Lecture from the front of the room, not pacing around.
- Point out who is speaking in group discussions.
- Do not drink or chew gum while lecturing.
- Do not stand or sit in front of a window where shadows will impede speech/lip reading.
- Discuss privately, any concerns about the students' ability to hear.
- Provide
classroom services: write announcements and assignments on the
blackboard; write proper names, technical vocabulary, formulas, and
unfamiliar/foreign names on the blackboard.
- Always use captioned films/videos or provide a written manuscript.
- If giving an orally administered test, please arrange for the deaf/hard of hearing student to have a written copy of the test.
- Do
not shout at Deaf or people with hearing loss; do position yourself in
their vision, and attract their attention with a light touch or a wave
if you need to.
- Deaf people may regard American Sign Language (which has a unique grammatical structure) as their first language, not English.
- Be
patient with people with speech impairment; do not correct them; do not
finish their sentences; if you don't understand, do not pretend you do,
so do ask them to repeat if necessary, and tell them what you have
understood so far.
Meeting People with Visual Impairments
- Tell
a visually impaired person who you are; introduce other people who are
there and say where they are in the space in reference to the
- Do not grab a person to guide
them - let them take your arm; do ask them if they wish to be warned
about steps, doors and other obstacles.
- Do say clearly where their seat is, or place their hand on its back or arm.
- You may use a common saying like "see you tomorrow" with a visually impaired person.
- Remember
that a visually impaired person may miss out on gestures or facial
expressions and so appear to respond inappropriately - it may seem that
they do not get a joke, for example, when in fact it was not properly
communicated to them.
Organizing Events
- Advertise the accessibility of the venue.
- Consider physical access and space, including seating and space for wheelchair users. Is there room for them to maneuver?
- Hire a sign-language interpreter and determine the seating arrangement.
- Consider producing literature in forms other than standard print - large print, Braille and electronic format are examples.
- When
fielding questions from the audience, ask the person answering the
question to repeat it so that everybody has heard and the sign language
interpreter may interpret the question.
Personal Assistants and Other Support Workers
Personal Assistants: provide practical and personal support, e.g., eating, toileting, and moving about the college.
Sign Language Interpreters: use American Sign Language to convey speech to Deaf individuals.
Note-takers: write notes for students, who are unable to see, hear or write the notes.
Test Proctors: secure the exams and the testing area.
Assistance Dogs: including the Guide Dogs, Hearing Dogs and Support Dogs.
Working with Assistants
- Do not ask personal assistants questions about the students for whom they work ("does she take sugar?" trap); ask the student with the disability for the information you need.
- Students
with disabilities employ, schedule and manage assistants to provide
them with a service. These individuals are employees of the student not
the student's friend.
- Do look at the student when he/she is speaking to you, even if he/she is using an interpreter.
- Personal
assistants, note takers and interpreters don't participate in the class
- but sometimes may inadvertently make comments or respond to
questions! Take this participation good naturedly and then try doubly
hard to include the student with the disability.
- Note-takers
are in the class only to take notes for the student when the student is
present in the class. A note-taker is not a substitute for a student.
If a student is not present in the class, the note-takers will not take
notes and will leave after 15 minutes if the student does not come to
- All support workers, including dogs, will need somewhere to sit and may need to go to the restroom or to take a break.
- Do not touch, water or feed guide or support dogs - they are working. These dogs are NOT pets.
- The
work sign language interpreters do is very intense and requires focus
and concentration. Therefore, any class more than an hour in length
will require two sign language interpreters present.
- Do not make assumptions - remember that anyone may have a hidden impairment or a medical condition such as diabetes, asthma, emotional disability or sickle cell, to name a few.
Exclusionary Attitudes
It is important to recognize that even when a student is technically accommodated, he or she may be subjected to actions or attitudes that could be construed as exclusionary. Some common yet misguided approaches and beliefs are illustrated in the paragraphs that follow.
"She makes me uncomfortable."
It is very common to want to avoid that which is uncomfortable. People who appear to be different or behave differently sometimes cause us to avoid contact. It is important to understand this discomfort and/or avoidance behavior.
"He can't possibly do that."
Too often people project someone's disability upon themselves and imagine how difficult it would be to function with such a limitation. Instead of making a decision for students about their capabilities, have them explain how such participation is possible.
"I don't see any disability."
There are many disabilities that are not obvious - learning disabilities, psychiatric conditions and chronic illnesses typically fall into this category. Any condition, which imposes a significant limitation on an individual's ability to participate in life activity, is considered a disability, and requires compliance with federal law. The Office of AccessABILITY maintains complete documentation from all students who register with us. If there are doubts about the legitimacy of a student's particular disability, please call the Office.
"That poor person."
Most people who have disabilities have stable conditions and are not ill. They have the same aspirations, desires, faults and problems as everyone else. Their disability is something that they have learned to live with, and is only one aspect of their lives.
"Give him a break, he's disabled."
The temptation to overcompensate for a person's disability is one of the biggest problems for faculty members. Giving an unfair advantage to a student with disability is nearly as bad as refusing a legitimate request for an accommodation. It is necessary to use the same standards in evaluating a student's performance. They are entitled to the same feedback, criticism and yes, bad grades as anyone else. By overcompensating you are making life easier in the short term and much more difficult in the long run.
"Just go on and do it for him…It's easier and kinder."
Sometimes it is much easier to do something for students than to allow them to do it for themselves or to wait for them to do it. For students with disabilities however, this approach will likely foster dependency and not allow students to learn critical skills that they will need to be on their own. Be patient, give adequate instructions and let them be independent.
- Treat students as individuals and put the emphasis on the person not their disabilities. ("Person with a disability" instead of "a Disabled person").
- When in doubt, don't hesitate to ask your students about their needs or what may be helpful to them— they are the experts!
If you should have further questions or concerns, please call the Office of AccessABILITY at (212) 772-4857.

South Carolina "will do everything it can" to go after production of Boeing's next generation jetliner if the Machinists union in Washington state rejects a proposed labor contract Wednesday, a leading state lawmaker told The Post and Courier on Friday.
"If the union turns it down and Boeing starts looking elsewhere, I can assure the whole world that South Carolina will be doing everything we can to get every part of Boeing we can get," state Senate Finance Chairman Hugh Leatherman said.
The senator's comments came after discord among union members erupted Thursday in Seattle over the proposed labor agreement and a union leader reportedly tore up a copy of the contract extension at the end of a raucous meeting.
The Florence Republican controls the state's purse strings to a large degree and was heavily involved in the incentive deals to attract Boeing to North Charleston in 2009 and its subsequent expansion announcement in April.
The lawmaker said Boeing executives have not come to the Palmetto State seeking incentives related to landing the 777X assembly and the thousands of jobs it would create, but he said South Carolina is ready to act if they do.
"I can't tell you what, but there is something on the table," Leatherman said when asked if the state has an incentive package prepared.
Asked if the state could afford another deal seven months after a $120 million inducement to Boeing in return for 2,000 more jobs and another $1 billion investment by 2020, Leatherman said it would depend on what the state received in return.
"We would have to evaluate what the state is going to get and what they are asking for," he said.
In his talks with Boeing executives, he gathered it's to Boeing's economic advantage to keep production of the new long-range jet in Washington state since it's a variant of the 777 line already made there.
"But if the union votes that contract down, wherever Boeing goes, it's going to take time to get up to speed," he said. "It's a tough decision."
Boeing is buying 267 acres near its 787 Dreamliner campus at Charleston International Airport for undisclosed future use.
"I believe there is a tremendous amount of Boeing in South Carolina's future," Leatherman said. "It's a matter of when that happens."
Union discontent
Many members came out against Boeing's offer during the nighttime union meeting and earlier Thursday on the floor of the airplane maker's wide-body assembly plant in Everett.
The Chicago-based aerospace giant said if the union contract does not pass or a vote is not held Wednesday, Boeing will start looking elsewhere besides the Northwest to build the new 777X passenger jet.
"All of our options are still on the table, including those within Boeing and interest we have received from outside. We chose to engage in Puget Sound first, but without full acceptance by the union and Legislature, we will be left with no choice but to open up the process competitively and pursue other options for locating the 777X work," Boeing said in a statement. "If this is not ratified per the scheduled union vote on Nov. 13, we will begin taking the next steps."
In addition to the union accepting the contract, the state must pass an incentive package that includes $8.7 billion in tax breaks for Boeing through 2040 or the plane maker will explore options outside the Evergreen State. Washington's governor called the state Legislature into a special seven-day session Thursday to consider the tax breaks and a $10 billion transportation bill.
Boeing's statement came after the Machinists union leader who ripped apart the labor proposal said he would also try to scuttle the contract vote.
"I know this is a piece of crap," said Tom Wroblewski, District 751 President of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, according to a report in The Seattle Times.
His comments came at the end of a meeting at Seattle union headquarters where hundreds of disgruntled members were gathered.
"I will go to see if this can be withdrawn and not even put to a vote," Wroblewski was quoted as saying.
IAM spokesman Jonathan Battaglia said Friday he had not studied the union's bylaws carefully enough to see if the vote could be stopped.
As of Friday, the union vote was still on.
Some union members were reported saying Boeing would come back with another offer if they rejected the one on the table.
Aviation analyst and others say that's unlikely.
"I think they will find out that Boeing is not bluffing," Leatherman said. "They will look elsewhere."
Washington state aviation analyst Scott Hamilton agreed.
"Boeing will put the 777X elsewhere (Charleston being the obvious choice)," he said on his blog.
The proposed contract extends the union's labor agreement with the Chicago-based aerospace giant eight years through 2024. The current contract ends in 2016.
The proposal also seeks pension and health care concessions from union members. It offers a $10,000 signing bonus and changes to retirement benefits, among other things.
Tensions high
Battaglia admitted tensions were high and an overwhelming majority of the 500 or so union members at Thursday night's meeting were against the deal with Boeing.
The Seattle newspaper reported massive discontent with the proposed contract at the union meeting with some members carrying large homemade "Vote No" signs.
"Shouts, whistles and chants erupted often, and swelling waves of 'No! No! No!' periodically rolled out through the doors," the Times report said.
According to two people who were inside the meeting, which was closed to the media until the doors flew open at the end, Local A President Wilson Ferguson in an opening speech called for a "no" vote.
Wroblewski was repeatedly called upon to do the same. But he declined to offer a formal recommendation on how to vote, until his emotional declaration as the meeting closed, according to the Seattle newspaper.
On Thursday, hundreds of factory workers paraded through the aisles of Boeing's huge Everett plant and chanted slogans calling for the contract to be rejected, Reuters reported.
"Vote no," said one union member on the IAM's Facebook page.
Another said, "Hell no. Better to die on your feet than live on your knees."
Frank Larkin, a spokesman for the IAM from its national headquarters in Washington, D.C., said the union is not taking an official position on how its members should vote.
A Boeing executive on Friday urged union members to consider the new labor contract carefully.
"I urge you to take the time to fully understand this proposal, and to talk with your family to determine how this affects our future," said Commercial Airplanes Chief Executive Ray Conner in a handout to workers on the factory floor.
"There will be 49 governors calling Boeing if the deal doesn't go through," Washington Gov. Jay Inslee said.
Boeing agreed to final assembly and wing fabrication of the new twin-engine, long-range passenger jet in the Northwest if certain conditions are met. The company has made it no secret it is prepared to pull out of Washington state if the terms aren't met.
Boeing's plant in North Charleston and another in Long Beach, Calif., have been rumored to be alternative sites to Everett, Wash., where most of Boeing's wide-body fleet is made.
Earlier this week, Charleston area officials said South Carolina was never really in the mix for the new jet because no one in the state has been talking about incentives.
With the latest turn of events in Washington, one official said that could change.
"We appreciate them helping us to get in the mix," said Elliott Summey, vice chairman of Charleston County Council. "The state of South Carolina and Charleston County stand eager to have a dialogue on production of the 777X in North Charleston, and we can't wait to put our best foot forward."

About a year ago, we were introduced.
It was love. Immediate, instant, beautiful love.
Pinterest, where had you been all my life?!
I have so much to thank you for.
First, thank you for helping me open up as a conversationalist. I am now able to talk to so many people about, "This one time, on Pinterest..."
Thank you for organizing my closet (or I should say, "Thank you for helping me organize a section in my closet designated just for you.).
Thank you for turning me into a hoarder. I now hold on to cardboard toilet paper rolls, 2-liter bottles, cans and any other "thing" that I might be able to make into something beautiful.
Thank you for making me realize the importance of exercise. Although my recipe board is far fuller than my fitness board, it's a start. Right?
Only you, Pinterest, can light a fire about getting into shape and in the next click of a mouse show me heaven in the form of a cupcake.
Yes, I will always choose the recipe for the cupcake.
Thank you for helping me realize the power of a crayon. I never knew how many things you could make out of melted or broken Crayolas.
Thank you for helping me tap into my inner clothes designer. I now know how to make a skirt and a scarf out of a T-shirt. So if I am ever in a bind and forget my pants...I'll be fine.
Thank you for helping me understand that it's OK to fail. Because sometimes, things just don't turn out like the picture you show.
Yet, I still keep coming back.
My kids also want to thank you for turning cold, rainy days into the most awesome days ever. Who needs pillow forts when you can make a laser maze with tape?!
Last but not least, I'd like to prematurely thank you for remodeling my house. Because someday? it will happen.
Even my husband can see that you've made a difference in my life. Every time he leaves for work he gently kisses me and says, "Please don't Pinterest the house."
But don't worry. Deep down, Pinterest, I know he loves you, too.
Caiti Mondragon is married with three children. Read her regularly on Greeley Moms.

Dear Zeke – You are One MonthMolly Thornberg
Dear Zeke,
One year ago, if someone had told me that I would have a one month old – I would of laughed and accused whomever of being drunk.
Well the laughs on me.
The last month, your Daddy and I have absorbed so much of your sweet love and cuteness. You have stolen our hearts and have two older brothers and a big sister who adore you just the same. While we didn't know what to expect with having two kids 16-months apart, it's not been nearly as hard as we expected. We know that you and your brother have many fun times ahead once you get a little bit bigger. But that being said, don't grow up too fast!
You can sleep through just about any noise and this past week, you slept up to 5 hours straight at a time. I am fairly certain that if I was to pop in a movie, and place you in front of the television you would watch it. Fear not, I haven't tried that yet. But your curiosity towards the TV on the wall has us chuckling.
At your one month well visit you weighed in at 9.2 lbs – chunking up from your 7.2 birth weight! And you grew 2 whole inches. If mommy grew 2 inches for each month she was alive, she would be way over 68 feet tall.
Here are our favorite photos from your first month here:
Your Arrival 1 of 217:17 am - you arrived and changed our world for the better forever.
WHERE THE HELL AM I? 2 of 21Welcome Zeke! I know, it's bright here on Earth!
Mommy and You 3 of 21Daddy snapped this photo of us about an hour after you were born. Mommy looks like hell!
FOUR! 4 of 21Yes child, you are our fourth!
Sweetness 5 of 21Did we tell you how sweet you are?
FIST PUMP! 6 of 21Your constant fist pumping makes me laugh. GTL - not quite. Someday I'll explain, maybe.
Your First Car Ride 7 of 21You look so wee in your big car seat. Yes, we still had the tags on the seat.
Sleep 8 of 21Always sleep up to 18 hours a day you sleepy head!
Adorable 9 of 21Did I mention how adorable you are?
Stretch 10 of 21Mommy and Daddy's bed is your favorite place in the house.
Baby Moustache 11 of 21You inspired mommy to create babymoustaches.com
Side Sleeper 12 of 21Yes, you prefer to sleep on your side.
You and Your Big Brother 13 of 21Izaiah adores you so much, and SNAPS!
Melt 14 of 21You have melted our hearts
All Dressed Up 15 of 21Yes, your mommy dresses you up in funny clothes.
WAH! 16 of 21I am happy to report that you rarely cry. But even when you do, you are lovable. Praise Jesus for no colic!
In Daddy's Arms 17 of 21Your Daddy adores you.
Basket Case 18 of 21Yes, you are in a basket.
Contemplation 19 of 21You have a deep stare of contemplation.
Super Cute! 20 of 21A hand me down from your big brother, but you wear it well my little one!
You are One Month Old Zeke! 21 of 21How did one month already pass? Happy One Month ZEKE!
I know this is a big scary world, but know we are here to help guide you through it. Just remember this. We love you and thank God everyday for giving you to us.
Love Always,

A condition held by overly long sideburns as they grow into long, curly strands that often resemble wings.
The man, with his shaggy, rebellious hair walked defiantly as his wing sideburn flowed gracefully in the wind like an eagle soaring ever so high.

Increase Chocolate Milk Sales with MilkPEP Halloween Promotion
Increase Chocolate Milk Sales with MilkPEP Halloween Promotion
PEANUTS® Characters Can Now Be Used in Packaging & Marketing Materials
For the seventh consecutive year, The Milk Processor Education Program (MilkPEP), creators of the national Milk Mustache "got milk?®" campaign, will help increase milk sales with the "Chocolate Milk: The Official Drink of Halloween" promotion. Halloween presents a golden opportunity for processors to generate excitement by using MilkPEP's free tools and resources featuring the iconic PEANUTS® gang, including both general and Hispanic POS. Making this even sweeter – for the first time ever – processors can download and use PEANUTS® characters in their marketing and packaging materials.
The 2012 promotion reminds moms that low-fat chocolate milk is a tasty and healthy Halloween treat while providing an easy way to enjoy an incremental lift in sales at retail. Over the past six years the MilkPEP promotion has run, it has generated positive results for many processors with some seeing an increase in flavored milk sales of as much as 5-15% during the promotional period.
"Halloween provides an additional occasion for consumers to drink milk boosting the sales of chocolate milk, and at a higher margin than white milk," said Julie Buric, vice president of marketing for MilkPEP. "With health and wellness becoming even more of a focus in consumer's minds, especially moms, highlighting a healthier Halloween treat like chocolate milk paves the way for a successful promotion."
Processors can increase incremental store sales by taking advantage of the "Chocolate Milk: The Official Drink of Halloween" promotion in several ways including:
• Use the free promotional POS
• Create Halloween-themed store displays to garner attention for branded chocolate milk;
• Host sampling events in stores to allow moms to sample a healthy chocolate treat;
• Feature PEANUTS® characters in retail circulars, packaging, print and online media, in-store POS, collateral and signage
• Include a chocolate milk offer in frequent shopper programs
The annual MilkPEP "Chocolate Milk: The Official Drink of Halloween" promotion runs nationwide in stores September 15 through October 31. Processors who sign up their retail customers and feature chocolate milk in stores can earn a 12" Maglite flashlight.
The sign-up deadline for the promotion is August 31, 2012. Participation in all MilkPEP promotions is easy and free. Processors can sign up by visiting MilkPEP.org or calling the Milk Hotline at 800-945-MILK. Supplies are limited. Additional information about MilkPEP programs and promotions can be found at www.MilkPEP.org.
About the Milk Processor Education Program (MilkPEP):
The Milk Processor Education Program (MilkPEP), Washington, D.C., is funded by the nation's milk processors, who are committed to increasing fluid milk consumption. The MilkPEP Board runs the National Milk Mustache "got milk?®" Campaign, a multi-faceted campaign designed to educate consumers about the health benefits of milk. For more information, go to www.MilkPEP.org. The tagline "got milk?" was created for the California Milk Processor Board by Goodby Silverstein & Partners and is licensed by the national milk processor and dairy producer groups.

History of the University of Hawaii System
In 1907, the Hawaii Territorial Legislature established the College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts in Honolulu under terms of the U.S. land grant legislation. Ten students begin classes with 13 faculty members in September of the following year, and the first graduates received degrees - two in the sciences and one each in agriculture and engineering - in 1912.
The University has been growing ever since.
In 1912 the founding campus was renamed the College of Hawai'i and moved to its present location in O'ahu's Manoa Valley. Pig farms and kiawe groves are cleared for construction of the first permanent building, Hawai'i Hall. Six years later, William Kwai Fong Yap petitioned the legislature for university status, and the campus became the University of Hawaii in 1920.
In 1931 UH absorbed the Territorial Normal and Training School (now the College of Education) and graduated its first PhD candidate, J. S. Phillips, whose dissertation addressed control of ants in pineapple fields. Four years later, Professor Gregg Sinclair founded the Oriental Institute, fore-runner of the federally sponsored East-West Center, setting the agenda for the University of Hawaii's ever growing prominence in Asia-Pacific expertise.
War interrupted, and classes were suspended for two months after the December 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor. UH students of Japanese ancestry formed the Varsity Victory Volunteers to assist with civil defense; many later become part of the famous 100th Infantry Battalion.
Growth resumed in the 1950s. After three years of offering UH Extension Division courses at the old Hilo Boarding School, the University of Hawaii, Hilo Branch, was approved. In Manoa, Earle Ernst staged the first kabuki production, founding an Asian theater academic program that has grown and is now world renown.
The UH Community Colleges system was established in 1964, with Honolulu, Kapiolani, Kauai and Maui campuses. It evolved into seven campuses on four islands. Two years later, the founding campus, now called UH Manoa, established a School of Travel Industry Management and the forerunner programs of the School of Hawaiian, Asian and Pacific Studies. The John A. Burns School of Medicine opened in 1967 and construction began on the first telescope atop Mauna Kea volcano in 1968. Leeward Community College was established that year, and Hawai'i Community College joined the system in 1969.
The 1970s saw the addition of Windward Community College, the William S. Richardson School of Law, UH Hilo College of Agriculture and University of Hawaii - West Oahu. The next decade added the School of Architecture and School of Ocean and Earth Sciences and Technology. In athletics, Manoa appoints its first full-time director for women's sports, Donnis Thompson, and builds Rainbow (now Les Murakami) Stadium.
University Park of Science and Technology Phase I opened under the management of UH Hilo during the 1990s, and Manoa added an award-winning 10,000-seat, $32 million Special Events Arena later named for Athletic Director Stan Sheriff, who fought tirelessly for the project. A record setting private gift by Ed Pauley purchased Coconut Island - known to millions of television viewers as Gilligan's Island - for expanded marine biology research. The university set set records by offering the nation's first master's degree in an indigenous language, Hawaiian, and becoming the first institution to successfully clone multiple mammalian generations, starting with the mouse, Cumulina.
In 2000 Hawaii voters overwhelmingly supported constitutional autonomy for the University of Hawaii, ensuring the institution more control in the management of its resources. Honolulu Community College was selected to be one of only six Cisco Training Academies in the country to offer certified network professional training and Maui Community College continued a tradition of state-wide outreach by opening the Molokai Education Center. Additional highlights include winning the contract to manage the Maui Supercomputing Center for the Air Force Research Laboratory and operate the Navy's new, high-tech, twin-hull R/V Kilo Moana. Long awaited renovations expand and improve facilities at Windward and Maui Community Colleges and UH Hilo. In 2003, walls were raised for a new medical school and biomedical research facility in Kakaako on Oahu as the university looks ahead to its 2007 centennial.
The University of Hawaii celebrated 100 years of higher education during 2007 and 2008, with events that honored the past and celebrated the present and future. Since its founding, more than a million students have taken UH courses for credit.
