Autism - helps defray out of pocket costs
ACT Today! (Autism Care and Treatment Today) for Military Families
ACT Today! (Autism Care and Treatment Today!)
, is a national non-profit organization whose mission is to raise awareness and provide treatment services to families that cannot afford the treatments and services their children require. Recognizing the extraordinary challenges military families experience (waging a battle on two fronts...one for their country and another for their children),
ACT Today! for Military Families
is a dedicated fund to assist military families impacted by autism.
ACT Today! for Military Families

Auto donation
Operation Homefront
Operation Homefront
accepts donated vehicles from the community and provides them to military families without personal transportation at no charge. There can be a waiting list for vehicle donations and they are not available in all parts of the country. Through the generosity of our vehicle donors we are able to offer this much appreciated program to military families in need.
Auto repair
Operation Homefront
For military families that are coping with deployment or injury recovery,
Operation Homefront
provides vehicle repair services, through authorized service centers. The average cost of a vehicle repair is around $700 with some repairs exceeding $2500.

Medical appointments, school attendance, grocery store trips all require safe transportation. By providing this critical service,
Operation Homefront
helps ease our service members' financial and emotional burdens.

The Last Mission Project (Operation First Response)
Combat PTSD is exasperated by the battle mindset. During combat a Warrior's duty is to survive and do their best to keep their comrades alive, this can compound the normal sense of survivor guilt, most believe that they have failed their comrades who were killed or severely injured. These emotions isolate the Warrior because they cannot be shared with anyone who has not had the same traumatic experience, which explains the Combat Veteran's belief that his/her family members or therapist will not understand because they haven't been there. At the same time studies indicate that talking about the trauma can be the key to unlocking its debilitating grasp.
OFR has traveled this journey with our wounded Warriors for 6 years, during that time we have experienced the changes they have endured as their journey continues.
PTSD has become the invisible injury that gone untreated can take its toll on the Veteran by means of alcohol and substance abuse, criminal activities, unemployment, divorce, in severe cases suicide.
From our experience the financial devastation can be the last straw, it is our hope to alleviate the financial stress for the veteran allowing them to make clear decisions about treatment without the burden of the cost it will have on the family. By receiving treatment and learning to cope with PTSD in a manageable manner we will return more veterans to their families and communities as productive members. As the recipients of their service and sacrifices we have a responsibility to assure their quality of life.
Operation First Response

vehicle payment, groceries.

VFW National Home for Children
serves as a living memorial to America's veterans by helping our nation's military and veteran families during difficult times. It was founded in 1925 as a place where the families left behind by war -- mothers and children, brothers and sisters -- could remain together, keeping the family circle intact even when their serviceman didn't come home.
Today's families face different challenges -- reintegration, post-traumatic stress, high unemployment and rehabilitation from battlefield injuries, among others -- and the National Home has evolved over our decades-long history to meet those changing needs.
Since its founding, the
VFW National Home for Children
has grown from an old frame farm house to a sprawling campus with playgrounds, park areas, and multiple buildings, including single-family homes, a community center and gymnasium, child care facility, guest lodge, chapel and administrative offices. Over the years, the National Home has evolved to meet the changing needs of America's military and veterans' families. Through it all, one thing has remained constant: the National Home's commitment to honor our nation's veterans and active-duty military by providing help and hope for their children and families.

Home mortgage assistance
Fannie Mae Military Forbearance Option
If you're facing a financial hardship due to a death or injury of a service member on active duty, you may be eligible for a special military forbearance option. A forbearance is an agreement between you and your mortgage company to temporarily suspend or reduce your monthly mortgage payments for a specific period (usually between 90-180 days) of time. This option lets you deal with your short-term financial problems by giving you time to get back on your feet and bring your mortgage current.
With a military forbearance, you may qualify for additional benefits such as a longer forbearance period—up to 6 months—and no adverse impact to your credit score (all credit reporting related to your mortgage loan will be suspended during the forbearance period). Additionally, a special hotline has been set up for additional guidance about this option and other mortgage assistance programs—877-MIL-4566.

School supplies
Homefront America's Back to School "Pack for Success"
What better way to help empower our little Marines, Sailors, Airmen, Coasties, and Soldiers, than to provide them with the tools they need to succeed in life. The program provides each registered child with a backpack filled with school supplies appropriate for his/her specific grade level. This ensures that a kindergartener does not receive protractor, or a high schooler receives a box of crayons.
Operation Homefront
Each year
Operation Homefront
chapters help military families get their children ready to go back to school by collecting new back packs filled with school supplies for school age children. This assistance allows families to focus on the other important back to school expenses like new clothes and shoes.

In 2009 alone, over 19,000 backpacks were provided to military children.
Vision care
Operation Homefront
Thankfully, the military provides for a new eye exam every year for military family members, but the cost of glasses is not a covered benefit.

Holding a pre-job meeting can further improve a company's performance and make clients happier.
Originally published: 05.01.11 by George Hedley
Hold a pre-job meeting to achieve on-the-job success. Here's how.
Many light commercial contractors think they don't need to start every project with a pre-job meeting. It's great to have so much confidence in your staff, suppliers, and subcontractors; but holding a pre-job meeting can further improve a company's performance and make clients happier. If everyone meets together before your job starts, I guarantee your project will have a much better chance of avoiding potential conflicts, finishing ahead of schedule, and staying under budget.
1. Identify every member on your team. They all have an important part to play. In addition to the core team from your company, the meeting could include any of the following depending upon the job requirements: property owner, developer, builder, architect, engineers, general contractor, your subcontractors, other subcontractors, and major suppliers. Some subcontractors are going to fight you on this. They don't want to take the time to go to a meeting. But they need to be there. Everyone is needed to understand the importance of teamwork, project milestones, and how everyone counts on each other.
2. Hold the meeting on site. Don't even
3. Have your project manager/field supervisor run the meeting. If the company owner runs the meeting instead, then these two don't become responsible or accountable. They must get together before the meeting and plan. Don't let them "wing it."
4. Prepare the agenda:
o Review project goals and objectives. Often, subcontractors think price is most important on every job. But schedule, quality, or value engineering may be the most important factor. When everyone understands what targets to aim for, project goals can be met.
o Issue all subcontracts for execution before starting the job. All the subcontractors can then discuss issues, problems, and conflicts immediately and get them resolved early. This forces the project manager to commit to all of the trades early on, freeing up time later to just concentrateon building the project.
o Issue approved plans and specifications. Review them together and make sure every subcontractor understands what's required.
o Issue the project schedule. The manager/supervisor can then discuss the work flow, anticipated problems, coordination, and long lead items. Follow with an open discussion of the schedule between all subcontractors and suppliers.
o Review job and safety rules. These include jobsite hours, safety, noise restrictions, cleanup requirements, equipment, adjacent property concerns, etc.
o Review permit, license, and special inspection requirements. Identify who will be responsible for each of these and when they will be required.
o Issue a required shop drawing and submittal list. List out when everything is needed, who approves them, and timing. This step can reduce delays by prompting everyone to identify long lead items and order them early on.
o Review payment procedures. Include procedures for invoices, releases, joint checks, authorization, and timing.
o Review project insurance requirements.
o Review the change order system. Explain the approval process from pricing to review and payment. Include estimated timeframes, allowable markups, and who is authorized to sign.
o Conclude with an open discussion. Allow everyone to share their concerns, issues, and comments. Addressing them early, with all parties present, saves time, money and headaches later!
This simple meeting will make a dramatic difference in your business. The quality of work will improve, you will finish your jobs faster, and field problems will virtually be eliminated. Customers, subcontractors, and suppliers will also be happier. The client gets what they want, and everyone makes more money.

Expert Picks for John Deere Classic
Ricky Barnes [Yahoo Class C] - World Ranking: #193
Barnes has let us down over recent starts and is struggling to put four rounds together. He will have a respectable chance to keep that problem at bay this week, and if he does so against this field, he could surprise.
Paul Goydos [Yahoo Class C]
He played well here last year. He didn't do so hot in any others. Still, Goydos is one of those golfers who tends to shine in spotlights when the stars aren't around.
Kenny Perry [Yahoo Class C]
I recently tweeted that Perry was dead to me. I didn't know the field would be so thin in Illinois. He tends to play well in the Midwest and has been especially potent at the John Deere, but his game has been rather painful to watch this season.
Matthew Jones
He's young. He's Australian. He's talented. We like all of that. He also played well here last season. He's Matt Jones and he's a total gamble, but if you are reaching this deep into the list for options, we believe he has more potential than some.
Mike Weir [Yahoo Class C]
No one needs a top finish more than Weir. He's been awful this season, but we know the swing that won majors is in there lurking. This field is as vulnerable as any, so why not?
Bryce Molder [Yahoo Class C] - World Ranking: #157
Molder was among top finishers at the AT&T National last week, and while he has yet to demonstrate consistency, we believe he can piece together another strong outing against a field lacking proven talent.

Santa Fe Trail
On a clear spring day, a sharp observer can still discern the wagon-wheel ruts of the Santa Fe Trail wending their way across the prairie. The cultural legacies of this historic trade route, which saw its heaviest use between the 1820s and 1870s, remain just as distinct. The byway, which comprises a 188-mile portion of the trail, traverses one of the last strongholds of the nomadic Plains Indians and one of the first toeholds of Anglo-American pioneers, who began homesteading along the Arkansas River in the 1860s. The Mountain Branch of the trail traveled through what is today Trinidad and crossed Raton Pass, a mountain gap used by Native Americans for centuries. The byway's midpoint is Bent's Old Fort, once a trading post and cultural melting pot, now a National Historic Site.
The Santa Fe Trail was designated by the U.S. Secretary of Transportation as a National Scenic Byway in 1998. It is one of eleven America's Byways® designated in Colorado.

Next week: 1080p video on YouTube
Straight from the "getting blood from a stone" files, YouTube has announced that it will begin streaming 1080p video next week. Until now, the highest resolution YouTube could stream was 720p, and that was only a minority of videos. The move to true, modern HD is a significant change for the service.
Don't expect a sudden jump in quality for all YouTube videos, though. Video quality is constrained by the original footage and the display used to view the end result. If the video was shot on an SD camcorder, or an HD camcorder that can only record 720p (like the popular Flip UltraHD), it won't take advantage of 1080p streaming. Even if the footage was recorded in 1080p, if you watch YouTube on your computer, on an ordinary monitor, you probably won't see a difference. If you watch YouTube on an HDTV and the video you select was shot on a decent 1080p video camera, you'll probably see a nice bump in quality.
I'd put money on it not exactly rivaling Blu-ray, though.

I'm not sure what is meant either, but maybe the requirement is to perform polynomial long division here?
I.e make
Polynomial long division is the road I would take.
Follow this example
Polynomial Long Division
I just did all the working out for the question using the example, thanks a lot! For the asymptotes, I'm not sure how to figure them out in this form. Don't I have to find where (4x+3) is 0 so that it is infinity or something along those lines?
Is the slant/oblique asymptote just 5x-1? and I think there is no vertical or horizontal asymptotes

Mathematics is an integral part of the young child's world—and children love it! It can be seen during play when children use mathematics to help them make sense of their world.
Participants will be introduced to some principles of mathematics instruction and consider how they affect their daily practice. They will also begin exploring the content of the mathematics curriculum, specifically the components of mathematics and the mathematical process skills. With this solid foundation, teachers will have the knowledge and skills they need to begin implementing The Creative Curriculum for Preschool, Volume 4: Mathematics in their classrooms.
