California should push harder for special ed during crisis, disability rights groups say

The tips, resources and encouragement state education officials are offering schools as they provide special education during the school closures is not enough, according to some disability rights organizations.
What is needed are executive orders and legislation to push schools and districts to help special education students get the support they need during the coronavirus pandemic, according to a list of recommendations from 15 disability rights groups sent last week to Gov. Gavin Newsom and Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond.
"It's an emergency situation. We understand that, but we really need districts to step up and help the students who are most vulnerable," said Malhar Shah, a staff attorney at the Disability Rights Education and Defense Fund, a Berkeley-based nonprofit that advocates for people with disabilities and one of the groups that signed the letter. "The state needs to do more than just offer guidance. It needs to provide oversight."
The letter was submitted by the ACLU of California, Children's Defense Fund of California, National Center for Youth Law and other organizations.
About 795,000 students with autism, learning disabilities, cerebral palsy and other conditions are enrolled in special education in California.
Since schools closed in mid-March, special education has been inconsistent across the state. Some districts began offering online instruction, therapy and parent meetings immediately, while others have yet to launch any services while they deliver tablets, arrange internet service for students and teach staff how to deliver online instruction.
The California Department of Education has provided guidance and a webinar for districts, schools, teachers and parents of students in special education to help them navigate online learning. The U.S. Department of Education has also issued guidelines. But state and federal authority to enforce these guidelines is somewhat limited, so far, because online learning is not mandatory and many decisions about education are made at the local level.
Still, state officials should push districts harder, the groups said.
"We understand there's a balance between the state's authority and local control. That said, these are federal civil rights we're talking about," said Jill Rowland, education program director for the Alliance for Children's Rights, an advocacy group based in Sacramento and Los Angeles. "When something like this happens, we have to take care of our entire community, including the needs of our most vulnerable kids."
The California Department of Education did not respond to requests seeking comment.
The groups' recommendations are:
Require districts to create temporary individualized education programs for students during the school closures, with input from parents and adjustments for online instruction. For example, if a student ordinarily receives one-on-one behavioral therapy an hour per week, but that's not possible during the school closure, a temporary plan could require 30 minutes instead. When schools reopen, students should return to their original plan.
Ensure students in special education receive tablets, internet access, software and other technology needed for them to participate in online instruction. For example, if a student with cerebral palsy uses a specialized keyboard and mouse at school, they should have those devices at home, too.
Shorten the timelines for obtaining technological devices, such as special keyboards, from 60 days to 30 days.
Provide tutoring, after-school programs and other help for students when school reopens to help them catch up academically. Special education students are more likely to fall behind during the school closures, according to the groups' letter, and will need extra help to make up for time lost in the classroom.
Extend deadlines for parents to file complaints about their child's education services until after schools reopen. Otherwise, parents have limited access to documents and other materials to back up their claims.
Allow students to stay enrolled in school, even if they've aged out of the system. Ordinarily, special education students can stay in school until they're 22. If they turn 22 when their school is closed, they should be able to stay enrolled for however long their school was closed after their birthday.
Kristen Power, government relations director for the Alliance for Children's Rights and the primary signatory on the letter, said her group has not yet received a response from the state. But she's hopeful that at least some of the recommendations will be implemented as legislative and budget meetings continue over the next few weeks.
"Things are moving so quickly, and right now there's a lot of uncertainty," she said. "We have to be very nimble and responsive. But so far the conversations have all been positive and we think there's some momentum toward the next steps."

It's a bunch of Mystery-Hunt-style puzzles, in several rounds. Each round has a metapuzzle, and I'm guessing there's one big metapuzzle at the end too (I'm not done with it yet). All written by Foggy Brume, in case you know who that is.
I wasn't trying to give a comprehensive list of puzzle hunts! Just a recognizable example.

Voluntary overtime v right to holiday pay
Regular voluntary overtime to be taken into account when calculating holiday pay.
The EAT has confirmed in Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council v Willetts and Others that "remuneration linked to overtime work that was performed on a voluntary basis could be included in normal remuneration for calculating holiday pay".
The case involved over 50 council employees who were employed as electricians, plumbers, roofers, storemen, operations officers, and quick response operatives. Each employee had set contractual hours of 37 hours a week. In addition to these normal working hours, once in every four weeks and, in some cases five weeks, the employees also performed the following additional duties on a voluntary basis:
Out-of-hours standby shifts
Attending call-outs
Voluntary overtime
The regularity of the shifts and when they were performed was decided by the employees.
The EAT held in order to ensure that the employees did not suffer a detriment by taking leave, the Council should have taken into consideration any voluntary payments received when calculating holiday pay, and the failure to do so was contrary to the Working Time Regulations 1988.
The EAT found that workers are entitled to "normal remuneration", not just contractual pay, during the four weeks' annual leave. The pay workers receive in respect of that annual leave should correspond with their "normal remuneration".
Determining whether a payment qualifies as "normal remuneration" is a question of fact on a case by case basis. However, the frequency and regularity of the payment will be a relevant factor to take into consideration.
Although this is a binding decision on the status of voluntary overtime when calculating holiday pay a great deal of uncertainty still remains. This is because the EAT has provided little guidance of what is meant by regular in order for a payment to qualify as "normal remuneration".
By way of example, in this particular case, payments made over a period of years at a rate of roughly one week in four or one week in five were sufficiently regular. It is also the case that this decision applies only to pay for the 4 weeks annual leave derived from the European Working Time Directive. It does not apply to the additional 1.6 weeks under UK Regulations or to any additional contractual holidays. Is it practicable for an employer to have systems in place to assess whether overtime is sufficiently regular to be "normal remuneration" and also have different methods of calculation for the different types of leave?

Censorship grows where religion is the target
By MONA ELTAHAWYSPECIAL TO THE STAR
Fri., Dec. 31, 2010timer4 min. read
NEW YORK CITY—If the adventures of Julian Assange and WikiLeaks have lulled you into believing censorship is a quaint fly we're swatting into the past, then spare a moment for a young Palestinian man who's been in jail for two months.
Walid al-Husseini, 26, was arrested in the West Bank city of Qalqilya at the end of October. He was accused of "blasphemy against the prophet and the Qur'an" for posts on his blog and on the social networking site Facebook.
He's neither the first nor will he be the last to be detained for his blogging in the Middle East, where online activists are becoming adept at irritating governments and regimes. But Walid's fate is a reminder that while some go online to escape the red pen of censorship in the "real" world, the red line of religion remains very much indelible in the "virtual" world, too.
Aware of the creeping conservatism in the region, authorities know they'll face much less popular disgruntlement when they throw an "infidel" blogger into jail than one who shamed their brutal police forces or their farcical elections.
A Jordanian journalist told a conference on freedom of expression in Copenhagen that I attended recently that up to 60 percent of journalists in her country supported some kind of censorship, especially to prevent insults to religion.
Many nominally secular dictators across the Middle East have become adept at arm-wrestling over Islam, with the Islamist opponents breathing down their neck. What better way to burnish your Islamic credentials than a full-throated defence of the prophet and the Qur'an, especially at the expense of a young man who identified as atheist and mocked that prophet and that holy book, to the shame of his family and many for whom religion is that last red line.
Remember, Walid is in a West Bank jail of the Palestinian Authority, which Islamist rival Hamas kicked out of Gaza.
Egyptian authorities used a similar tactic against Egyptian blogger Kareem Amer, who served a three-year sentence for insulting Islam and one year for insulting President Hosni Mubarak. Notice that symbolic calibration there — Islam got Kareem more jail time than Mubarak.
Kareem was jailed at a time when the Muslim Brotherhood comprised the largest opposition bloc in parliament.
I was born a Muslim and I have made an adult's choice to remain in the faith. It should go without saying that such faith is meaningless unless Walid can renounce his.
I do so for many reasons. The bar for freedom of expression has been slipping lower when it should be climbing higher. Presidents, kings or emirs cannot be guardians, custodians or gatekeepers of religion. It is especially poignant to remember that, and to unequivocally defend Walid's right to insult and provoke and renounce any faith he wants during this month, which marks the 5th anniversary of manufactured outrage over the Danish cartoons of Prophet Mohammed.
The cartoons were published at the end of September 2005, but demonstrations against them didn't break out until January 2006. To understand the reason for that time lag is to understand why throwing "infidel" bloggers into jail can get you the support of their family: Kareem's disowned him.
Whether the cartoons offended you or not, surely the political jockeying for maximum outrage between regimes and Islamists that fueled a lot of the demonstrations five years ago also offended you? Surely the violence committed by some in the name of Islam was as offensive, if not more so, than some of those cartoons which depicted Islam as a violent religion? Up to 50 Muslims died when demonstrations in various Muslim-majority countries turned violent, and the editor of the paper who commissioned the cartoons as well as one of the cartoonists have lived with death threats for years.
Left unchecked, that jockeying over who can defend Islam the most creates self-appointed custodians of the faith out of anyone. I got a death threat in 2009 when I criticized a decision by Yale University's Press to pull cartoons and pictures of the Prophet Mohammed from a book it was about to publish on the cartoon crisis.
The way to stand up to those bullies of the faith — of any kind — is not to stop publishing "offensive" cartoons but for Muslims themselves to refuse to be coddled by either regimes, Islamists, or the self-appointed and enraged.
Islam has been around from more than 1,400 years. If cartoons or a blog were to zap it away today, then it wasn't much of a faith to begin with. Instead, the best way to "defend" it is through confidence.
That was the sentiment permeating a petition in defence of freedom of expression that I signed, along with dozens of North American Muslims, last year when U.S. cartoonist Molly Norris went into hiding and changed her identity at the FBI's urging. Norris had drawn the "Everybody Draw Muhammad Day" cartoon on Facebook in response to Comedy Central's editing of South Park after the satirical animated series received threats for portraying the prophet in a bear suit.
"We, the undersigned, unconditionally condemn any intimidation or threats of violence directed against any individual or group exercising the rights of freedom of religion and speech; even when that speech may be perceived as hurtful or reprehensible," said the petition, published on the website The American Muslim.
We knew that in signing the petition we defended not just the right of Norris — and, as far as I'm concerned, Walid — but also our own individual rights. That indelible red line of religion moves in mysterious ways that can trip up any one of us.
I am the captain of my faith.

The impact that trade show exhibits can have for your company's image is significant. The displays alone can provide potential customers with a clear vision of what your company represents…from the quality of your product, to the level of customer service you intend to provide. There are a number of things to consider when developing trade show displays and exhibits, including what you want to achieve through the display, the budget you are allocating for it, the type of display you plan to use, and any banners you may need, as well as selecting graphics and signage company that can best meet all of these needs.
First you should think about what your goals are, in order to capitalize on your exhibit investment. The size of the trade show, as well as the size of your display will be dependent on whom your target audience is. Research and planning are key instruments. Other elements to consider include trade show locations, the number of events you plan to take part in each year, the size of exhibit space you will require, and how much of your budget will be available. Whether you allocate a small portion of your budget to a simple display and lighting, or if you choose a more elaborate customized display, trade show exhibits can vary greatly financially.
Next, you will need to determine what type of display will best fit your needs. There are four main types of display booths to choose from. Pop-up displays consist of folding panels covered in fabric, vinyl, or plastic. They tend to be a more popular option due to their lighter weight, ease of transport, and on-site assembly. Panel displays resemble a wall-like structure covered in fabric. They come in a variety of sizes and can easily be adjusted to the exhibit space. Tabletop displays are also an affordable choice. These are tri-fold structures that are placed directly on a tabletop. The use of Velcro allows for constant changes and updates to the display content. The fourth type of display is a pull-up stand, which is also lightweight, easily transported, and extremely versatile. They come with a stand-alone option that can be quite convenient both in larger and smaller scaled trade shows. No matter what form you choose, trade show exhibits are an important initial contact with potential clients and a great opprtunity to reinforce your company's logo and branding. As with any marketing tool, it is imperative to be aware of the current trends in the industry.
In addition to utilizing your general display to lure in prospective customers, banners and signs can provide an eye-catching first impression. Banners have the ability to compliment your exhibit by either emphasizing a new product, or providing further information about your company. It is important that they are well lit and easy to read as you only have a few seconds to entice your audience. They come in a large array of shapes and sizes to meet all of your exhibit needs. When designed properly, graphics are a simple way of embellishing trade show exhibits. They should consist of vibrant colors and a simple design. Too much content can take away from the message you want to get across. It is key that your company name and logo dominate your display.
Once you have established what your display needs will be, you can research and select a trade show exhibit display company. Whether tackled online or by phone, it is essential to research each potential display company's product selections, prices, and past work. They should have a high level of industry knowledge and skill, while keeping up with the constant changing trends. Requesting referrals or connecting with fellow exhibitors can provide you with firsthand feedback regarding the work and service they received from a particular display company. Once you have narrowed down your options, you can begin to work more closely with each supplier to determine which will be the best fit for your exhibit needs. That final choice can then steer you and your team through the design process. Also available are complete graphics and signage companies which focus only on signs and have well-trained staff able to produce your signage from concept through fabrication and printing to final installation.
Trade show exhibits have the potential to be a tremendous boost to your company's sales and greatly assist you in dominating your industry. If managed properly, your display can be an investment that will pay off in the form of new customers and brand recognition for your company for years to come.
Kaiser Graphics is a company that specializes in signs and everything to do with signs, from concept through eye-appealing design to printing, construction, you will find our staff to be experienced and interested in helping you achieve your goals with the all of your signage needs from banners to indoor or outdoor and architectural signage all the way to vehicle graphics and wraps. If you need a sign, give Kaiser Graphics a call. Signs are what we do.

Do you want post counts gone?
I strongly think that we should get rid of the post count thing. Then we will have no more people posting just to boost up thier count.
You do realise you'd give several members a nervous breakdown they got rid of post counts!
Damoni is fastly becoming the new Robert Brown. Yup, I said it.
Can you just try to forget that it is me asking this question and answer it truthfully.
I do not want a post count thanks.
It reminds me of how much time I waste on here instead of doing more productive things.
I think this thread would be taken a little more seriously if it was to come from say like a more established member, Not some newbie who's come in wanting things to be changed to the site.
I don't see why it matters? Your post count doesn't mean anything.
If you remove the post counts, how would you be able to differentiate between experienced posters and new members?
Do you read anything i post?

2022 World Cup: The United States men's national has embarked on its World Cup 2022 journey
Escrito por Evelyne Kuria
Four years after its elimination, the USA men's national team is ready to participate in the 2022 World Cup.
The USA men's national team (USMNT) is about to begin its 2022 World Cup journey. This comes 4 years since its elimination from the 2018 competition.
In some ways, the 2022 event represents a second chance for the team after the disappointing event four years ago. In the last group stage of the CONCACAF qualification, the USMNT came in fifth leading to its elimination. With a directive to grasp the moment, head coach Gregg Berhalter will be in the Middle East with 26 of his best players.
The USMNT, led by Chelsea forward and star player for the squad Christian Pulisic, will try to get past the group stage and compete in the knockout rounds. But Group B's draw with European teams England and Wales, as well as Asian nation Iran, offers a tough hurdle.
They have a lot of work to advance to the knockout stages in their next two games after drawing 1-1 with Wales in their opening match.
USA 2022 World Cup results and schedule
The Stars & Stripes held a 1-1 draw with Wales as the USA started its World Cup campaign in what may have been the most crucial game of the group stage. Tim Weah had given the USA the lead early on, and they appeared to be headed for three points till Gareth Bale scored from the penalty spot with eight minutes left.
The next big game is against England on November 25, which will have Americans humming with anticipation for a huge shock.
The USA will play Iran in their final match. This is seen as a must-win for Berhalter's team to advance to the knockout round.
Group B at the 2022 USA World Cup
The USMNT was placed in Group B with Iran, England, and Wales. The team had a fair draw as a Pot 2 team, offering it the chance to proceed to the knockout stage. But that may also create difficulties and dangers along the way.
The United States now has the opportunity to establish its status as a major soccer power by defeating one of the top teams in the world, England. Beyond that challenging matchup, Wales is a formidable foe led by a world-class player in Bale. Finally, Iran was given a favorable draw as a Pot 3 opponent. But given that they are a country just outside the top 20 teams worldwide, USMNT should not underestimate them.
When is the USA playing England at the 2022 World Cup?
On Black Friday, November 25, the USMNT will play group B favorites England Kickoff at 2:00 p.m. ET.
The game will be shown live in English on FOX in the USA, and both the Fox Sports app and fuboTV will stream it. The game will be broadcast on Telemundo in Spanish, streaming on fuboTV and Telemundo En Vivo.
It's an epic contest, with the USA aiming for a huge upset. England will be seeking retribution for their infamous World Cup loss to the United States in 1950.
When will the USA play Iran at World Cup 2022?
On November 29, the USMNT will play Iran to round off Group B. Kickoff at 2:00 p.m. ET.
The game will stream live in English on FOX in the USA, and both the Fox Sports app and fuboTV will show it. The game will be broadcast on Telemundo in Spanish, streaming on fuboTV and Telemundo En Vivo.
According to recent results, Gregg Berhalter and his team's chances of moving to the knockout stage depend heavily on the game's outcome.

(1) The arbitral tribunal may rule on its own jurisdiction, including any objections with respect to the existence or validity of the arbitration agreement and, for that purpose, an arbitration clause which forms part of a contract shall be treated as an agreement independent of the other terms of the contract. A decision by the arbitral tribunal that the contract is null and void shall not entail ipso jure the invalidity of the arbitration clause.
(2) A plea that the arbitral tribunal does not have jurisdiction shall be raised no later than the submission of the statement of defense. However, a party is not precluded from raising such a plea by the fact that the party has appointed, or participated in the appointment of, an arbitrator. A plea that the arbitral tribunal is exceeding the scope of its authority shall be raised as soon as the matter alleged to be beyond the scope of its authority is raised during the arbitral proceedings. In either case, the arbitral tribunal may admit a later plea if it considers the delay justified.
(3) The arbitral tribunal may rule on a plea referred to in subsection (2) of this section either as a preliminary question or in an award on the merits. If the arbitral tribunal rules as a preliminary question that it has jurisdiction, any party shall request the circuit court, within 30 days after having received notice of that ruling, to decide the matter or shall be deemed to have waived objection to such finding.
(4) The decision of the circuit court under subsection (3) of this section is not subject to appeal.


OSHA recently published a final rule modifying its recordkeeping regulation that required employers with 250 or more employees to submit recordkeeping forms 300 (log of work-related injuries and illnesses), 301 (incident report form), and 300A (annual summary of work-related injuries and illnesses). The new rule eliminates the obligation for employers with 250 or more employees to submit their forms 300 and 301. However, they will still be required to submit their 300A annual summary forms. Employers with fewer than 250 employees are already required to submit 300A summary forms annually. The new rule also requires covered employers to electronically submit their Employer Identification Number along with the 300A annual summaries. The deadline for electronic submissions of recordable injury/illness information from 2018 is March 2, 2019.


As plastic money becomes more prevalent, applications for credit cards have also been steadily rising. Higher disposable incomes and changing economic trends have also been contributors to the rise in the use of credit cards. There are credit cards to suit every need, business cards to cash back ones, shopping to entertainment. And while banks might be lining up to offer customers credit cards, there could be times when your application for a new credit card might not be approved.
A bank or financial institution is usually more than happy to extend lines of credit to customers since this means they have another source of income courtesy the many charges associated with a credit card. Banks also earn through interest charges if the cardholder fails to pay off the whole amount due at the end of each billing cycle. In spite of this, most banks will exercise some caution before issuing a card to an applicant with a low income and a poor employment record as the bank cannot guarantee the cardholder will be able to pay off the debt accrued on the card.
To avoid this being a reason behind the bank's rejection of a credit card application, it is advisable to check if you as an applicant meet the eligibility criteria set for a particular card. This is especially true since banks usually require the applicant to submit supporting documents such as salary slips, Form 16 as well as tax returns.
Having a poor credit score is the more common reason a credit card application is rejected. A credit score determines your creditworthiness to lenders, and also measures your ability and history of repayments. Having a poor or low credit score effectively indicates that you as an applicant are unable or inefficient at managing your money and assets. This in turn makes lenders wary of issuing credit to you, as there is a possibility of defaulting on the amount.
Credit scores are determined by credit bureaus such as Experian and CIBIL. Having a low CIBIL score would directly affect your chances of getting a credit card application approved.
Taking out loans with multiple lenders.
Not paying EMI's on time.
Applying for a credit card with multiple lenders.
Not having a loan history or a credit history also negatively affects your chances of getting your application approved, as the bank has no previous history on which to measure your creditworthiness.
While this might seem very trivial, making a mistake in the credit card application form could result in the rejection of the application. AN incorrectly filled in application form or multiple errors in the form has resulted in applicants losing out on acquiring a credit card. Failure to mention certain details (omission of facts) are also grounds for rejection, as banks have access to your credit history as well as your previous financial records. To avoid your application being rejected due to such a reason, it is advisable to apply online and review all information as presented on the screen. In this way you will avoid forgetting to enter some information.
Applicants who already have multiple credit cards issued in their name could find it more difficult to get approval for a fresh credit card. This is because all lenders verify an applicant's reliability by looking at the debt-to-income ratio. This ratio measures the outflow of income to card repayments made. If the outflow is very high, the lender could choose to deny the application since the applicant is already spending a large portion of his/her income on repaying existing credit card. This would in turn make it difficult for the applicant to pay off another credit card, inviting the possibility of a future payment default.
Choosing to transfer a credit balance from one card to another to avoid hefty interest fees also shows the applicant in poor light as it indicates poor judgement and an inability to maintain credit and payments.
The applicant's occupation is another factor that could impact his/her credit application. Work history as well as choice of profession play a role in determining whether an application will be cleared or rejected. Having a job that does not have a steady source of income would work against the applicant. The place of work and organisation are also taken into account as the applicant's repayment history is evaluated based on this. Working in reputed companies and showing a steady work history would significantly help ensure a credit card application is not rejected due to occupation.
Address verification is a compulsory part of the check a bank is obliged to do before issuing a credit card to an applicant. The address provided in the application form is verified routinely, and in case of multiple addresses being submitted, each of these addresses are verified. It is essential that the applicant provide accurate addresses and information on their place of work and residence to ensure the approval of an application. A discrepancy in the address details is grounds for automatic rejection of an application, and thus applicants should ensure their address and the proof submitted are adequate and accurate.
Ensure all outstanding amounts such as bills and loan payments are paid off in full and on time.
Avoid spending too much on a card, especially a new card since it shows a desperation for credit.
Always provide accurate documentation when it comes to identity or address proof. Talk to the bank if there is a problem with the same so they are aware of a possible discrepancy and the reason for it.
By keeping the above points in mind, applicants can avoid the pitfall of having their application rejected.
If the applicant has not been paying their loan repayment instalments or their other credit card bills on time, the bank becomes reluctant in approving their application for a new credit card. Hence, it is advised to keep one's credit score healthy by making payments on time and by being a defaulter, to make credit card application approval more likely.
If the applicant owns other credit cards and have not made regular payments towards them, the bank is more likely to not approve their credit card application. Banks want to see that the applicant uses only a small portion of their credit limit that is available to them. In case they are using too much of their credit limit, the bank will deny them a new credit card.
: Apart from the credit history of the applicant, their annual income also plays a significant role in procuring a credit card. While each credit card has an income eligibility criteria, it is important to meet the same in order to get your credit card application approved by the bank.
If the applicant has an outstanding that is more than six months' old, banks are more likely to reject their application. A long-pending outstanding also weakens the applicant's credit history which has adverse effects on every kind of loan application.
A major share of the banks in India pay attention to the age of the applicant. If the age of the applicant is less than 18 years, banks do not prefer to approve their credit card application. At the most, the banks will offer them a supplementary credit card to help them take care of their credit-related needs.

Where can I get a copy of the FAFSA?
How soon after October 1 should the FAFSA form be sent in? Is it better to wait until the income tax forms have been completed?
What if I have unusual circumstances concerning my dependency or financial status? Will this change my EFC?
What happens when I have a credit balance from financial aid?
How can I determine if I am making Satisfactory Academic Progress?
What happens to my Title IV funds if I withdraw during the semester?
All applicants for federal student aid are considered either "independent" or "dependent." Dependent students are required to include information about their parents on the FAFSA. By answering a few questions, you can get a good idea of which category you fit into.
At any time since you turned age 13, were both of your parents deceaced, were you in foster care, or were you a ward of dependent of the court?
If none of the criteria listed above apply to you, you may be considered a dependent student and may be required to provide your parents' financial information when completing the FAFSA. If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you may be an independent student. You may not be required to provide parental information on your FAFSA.
If you have questions about your dependency status or need more information, please visit StudentAid.gov/dependency.
If you receive a Renewal Reminder, it means you are eligible to reapply for financial aid in the new academic year via FAFSA on the Web, and you will have the option of "pre-filling" your application with data you provided for the previous year. Contact the financial aid office at the college you plan to attend if there are any questions.
Yes. Most financial aid offices require that you apply for financial aid every year. If your financial circumstances change, you may get more or less aid. After your first year you will receive a "Renewal Application" which contains preprinted information from the previous year's FAFSA.
Note that your eligibility for financial aid may change significantly, especially if you have a different number of family members in college. Renewal of your financial aid package also depends on your making satisfactory academic progress toward a degree, such as earning a minimum number of credits and achieving a minimum GPA.
Not immediately. The subsidized Stafford loan has a grace period of 6 months before the student must begin repaying the loan. When you take a leave of absence you will not have to repay your loan until the grace period is used up. If you use up the grace period, however, when you graduate you will have to begin repaying your loan immediately.
Yes. If you are receiving any kind of financial aid from university or government sources, you must report the scholarship to the financial aid office.
Call the Federal Student Aid Information Center (FSAIC) at 800.4.FED.AID (800.433.3243) or 800.730.8913 (if hearing impaired) and ask for a free copy of The Student Guide: Financial Aid from the US Department of Education. This toll free hotline is run by the US Department of Education and can answer questions about federal and state student aid programs and applications.
Send in the form as soon as possible after October 1. If you wait too long, you might miss the deadline for state aid.
The formula used to establish a student's financial aid eligibility is the same for all students; however, in unique situations, the financial aid office may use professional judgment to adjust the formula. These situations may include such things as job loss, unusual medical expenses, or abuse. If you believe that you have a unique situation, please contact financial aid for further guidance.
You will be notified by our Business Office regarding any credit balances on your account. Please see the Credit Balance and Refund page for information on policy and procedures for credit balances.
Satisfactory Academic Progress is calculated at the end of each term. Each degree level has its own criteria of Satisfactory Academic Progress components. Please see Satisfactory Academic Progress page for more information.

Local rock band Every Dying Day is convinced their current line-up is their best ever. Why? Their new drummer, Wes Sanders, is endorsed by Soultone Cymbals, and you don't just get an endorsement for throwing around your sticks blindly.
See if he and the rest of the band has the right stuff when they play The Rogue Bar in Scottsdale on Friday, August 5. Singer/guitarist Billy Thompson says the show is worth checking out, saying, "You can't deny the feeling of raw energy." Get ready for the concert by listening to one of their tracks, "Lies," after the jump, including lyrics and the inspiration behind it. Thompson says he hopes when people listen to the song, they get "the feeling of tapping your toes and smiling knowing that its making you feel dirty."
Here's what Thompson says inspired the track: "Musically, I felt like I needed to tap into the raw emotion of a good toe-tapping, ramp-riding, fast-driving, balls-to-the-wall rock and roll riff that makes you want to just get up and move around. Lyrically, I needed to place the songs moving energy into a form that everyone can relate with, which is drama-filled people and their need to be in everyone's business. So I directed it lyrically at those specific stereotypical gossip hounds by directing several 'juicy drama type details' throughout the song. Gives those people with nothing to do something to talk about -- and they're all lies."
What Thompson hopes people might take away from listening to it: "That depends on how self-absorbed you are. You may think it's ego-filled, or you may think it's written about you. I just want people to draw their own conclusions. I never like being told what to think, so I'm not about to tell others to do it. Either way, I want them to enjoy it and shake their asses!"
Is this what you are waiting for,
a little piece of something more,
I'm the one who likes suicide,
and I'm the one who can't get it right,
on my way home baby.
I'm on my way
Don't try to run away,
it's complicated everyday
pick you up around overtime, turn you on again,
Now pick your pieces off the floor,
and don't coming running back no more
Vicodin on overdrive,
chop it up get it all inside
Lies are killing me
I said all your lies,
like a disease,
and it's all because.
you won't let me go (four times)
I'm not gonna let you run away, not gonna let you
not gonna let you run away, not gonna let you
I don't love

«Азат Кърым» («Свободный Крым») — коллаборационистская газета, издававшаяся на крымскотатарском языке в период оккупации Крыма нацистской Германией (1942—1944). Публиковала пронемецкие, антисоветские и антисемитские материалы.

Организация, тираж и период выпуска
Вскоре после оккупации Крыма нацистская администрация приступила к изданию местных газет. На русском языке выходила газета «Голос Крыма», на крымскотатарском — «Азат Кърым». Летом 1943 год тираж газеты достиг 15 000 экземпляров, газета выходила два раза в неделю.

Первый номер вышел 11 января 1942 года. В государственном архиве Автономной Республики Крым сохранился комплект номеров газеты с последним номером 220 от 28 марта 1944 года. Первоначально газета издавалась как орган Симферопольского городского управления, с 30 января 1942 года стала выходить в качестве печатного органа Симферопольского мусульманского комитета. В первых номерах газеты исполняющим обязанности главного редактора был Изет-Нафе Нуриев, с 30 января 1942 года главным редактором стал Мустафа Куртиев (крупный деятель национального движения 1917—1918 гг.), с 25 мая 1943 года — Абдулла Куркчи (литературный псевдоним А. Зени), с 7 декабря 1943 года — Мемет Муединов (Севдияр) (литературный псевдоним Решат Мемет). Некоторые работали до войны в газете «Къзыл Кърым».

Помимо подчинённости Симферопольскому мусульманскому комитету, газета подчинялась штабу полиции безопасности и СД Крыма и Таврии (глава — оберштурмбаннфюрер Пауль Цапп) и штабу пропаганды U2 в Симферополе (ответственный за прессу — зондерфюрер Бруно Маурах).

Содержание
Газета публиковала речи и портреты Гитлера и Геббельса, информацию о нацистском руководстве, жизни в Германии. Обычно номер начинался и заканчивался сводкой Германского командования. Публиковались карикатуры на Сталина, Молотова, Рузвельта, Черчилля. На её страницах часто публиковалась антисемитская пропаганда. Также большое внимание газета уделяла истории и культуре крымских татар.

Неотъемлемой частью идеологии газеты на протяжении всего времени её существования был антисемитизм, антисемитская риторика встречалась почти в каждом номере. Основные тезисы — нераздельность еврейства и большевизма, противопоставление малочисленной паразитической «жидобольшевистской» элиты крымскотатарскому народу: «…как могло быть, что все управление находилось в руках жидов, всеми благами наслаждались жиды, высокие награды, посты и доходные места, просторные дома, самые плодородные земли и прочее находилось в руках жидов?», «эта страна не была государством рабочих и крестьян, а являлось государством в руках одной группы — являлось жидовским государством».

СССР на своей территории в противовес выпускал издания «Къызыл Кърым» («Красный Крым») и «Сталин байрагъы» («Сталинское знамя», газета 4-го Украинского фронта).

'Peace Sells… But Who's Buying?' How Megadeth Set The Thrash Standard
Megadeth's 'Peace Sells… But Who's Buying' remains a heavy metal milestone. Frontman Dave Mustaine talks to uDiscover Music about recording the album.
Joel McIver

Megadeth's second album, Peace Sells… But Who's Buying?, released in the US on September 19, 1986, is now regarded as a milestone in the heavy metal world for several reasons. Undoubtedly, it set them on the unstoppable path that led towards the release of their latest album, the Grammy-nominated Dystopia. It also set a new benchmark for lyrical venom and musical dexterity – but perhaps its most significant achievement is that it was written, recorded and released while the members of Megadeth were at each other's throats.
"We were living hand to mouth, and in dire straits," remembers Megadeth's founder, frontman, and songwriter Dave Mustaine. "I remember the release party we had for that record: we were so excited because we'd actually started to get a little bit of money. Afterward, I got in a huge fight with Chris [Poland, guitarist]. He said something smart to me, so I kicked him in the face. We were pretty primitive at the time…"

'Dystopia': How Megadeth Readied Themselves For The Apocalypse
Megadeth – then Mustaine, Poland, bassist David Ellefson, and drummer Gar Samuelson – had already released a debut album, Killing Is My Business… And Business Is Good!, on the Combat label the previous year, and though that album had attracted some media interest, the band were still broke and miserable.
Mustaine's new songs were full of resentment as a result. "We were homeless and hungry and tired of being judged," he says. "People tell you that you're a fraud and that you'll never amount to anything: all those happy, complimentary things that people say to you while they're telling you what a piece of s__t you are. Those lyrics were very heartfelt."
"Heartfelt" is right. Listen to "Black Friday," a ferocious storm of soloing and high-speed riffing – plus lyrics about the killing spree of a madman – for evidence. Or there's the black-magic mayhem of "The Conjuring" and "Bad Omen," which reflect Mustaine's interest in the occult at the time.
Add to the band's collective misery the small matter of Poland and Samuelson's drug habits, and it's little wonder that Peace Sells… was so vitriolic. "I was just a pot-smoker at the time when I met Gar and Chris, but those guys were well down the rabbit hole," Mustaine sighs. "People always ask why Mike Albert [joined] the band. Mike had been in Captain Beefheart: he was a nice guy, and a good guitar player who saved our skin. We were getting ready to go on tour, but Chris had [been] arrested and ended up not being able to go on tour, so we had to get Mike to come out with us. That's how we were living."
Peace Sells… has an unusual history in that it was originally recorded for the Combat label by producer Randy Burns, before Capitol signed Megadeth and remixed the album. Of the songwriting sessions, Mustaine recalls, "We were living in a rehearsal room called The Loft, and we wrote the majority of Peace Sells… there and on tour. In fact, the lyrics to the song 'Peace Sells' were handwritten on the wall there. That was probably one of the most famous pieces of architecture in metal that I know of."
"Peace Sells" quickly became – and remains – anthemic in the thrash metal community, not only for its enraged lyrics ("What do you mean, I couldn't be the President of the United States Of America?/Tell me something – it's still 'We the people', right?") but also for its unforgettable bass guitar intro. "That lick is one of the most popular basslines in the world," says Mustaine, "second only to [Black Sabbath's] "NIB" or [Iron Maiden's] "Wrathchild" or [Motörhead's] "Ace Of Spades." There's only a few basslines that carry that kind of weight, that the whole song launches off of, basically."
Used by MTV News in its opening theme for much of the 80s, the "Peace Sells" intro is one of many iconic moments on this landmark album, released by Capitol after a remix by Paul Lani. Asked about the new mixes, Mustaine says, "I thought they were better, as far as maturity was concerned: when you have automation, and a nice console with the right kind of gear, things turn out way different. When we mixed Peace Sells… with Combat, they were doing the best that they could. It was a good label for us at the time, but they weren't up to our standards. Everybody knew the writing was on the wall anyway: you find great bands, you sign them and you sell them. That's commerce."
Three decades and 13 albums later, Mustaine looks back at the Peace Sells… era as a time of chaos. "You see all these Hollywood bands that say, 'Oh, they're bad boys.' F__k that!" he chuckles. "A bunch of guys with tattoos and really bad body odor. We were bad boys!"
This piece was originally published in 2017. We are re-publising it today to celebrate the anniversary of the album's release. Peace Sells… But Who's Buying? can be bought here.

UFC 200 results: Daniel Cormier hears it from boo-birds, but grounds down Anderson Silva
By Steven Marrocco July 10, 2016 12:00 am Follow	@MMAjunkieSteven
By Steven Marrocco | July 10, 2016 12:00 am	Follow @MMAjunkieSteven
LAS VEGAS – Taking full advantage of a full training camp, UFC light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier dragged former champ and last-second replacement Anderson Silva into deep waters and grinded out an easy decision.
Although his dominance was reflected in unanimous scores of 30-26 in the non-title fight, Cormier (18-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC) won no fans in the audience for his largely cautious approach, the result of a roller-coaster 48 hours where Silva (33-8 MMA, 16-4 UFC) replaced rival Jon Jones after the interim champ's drug test failure.
The light heavyweight bout was part of the main card of today's UFC 200 event at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. It aired on pay-per-view following prelims on FOX Sports 1 and UFC Fight Pass.
Twitter reacts to Daniel Cormier's victory over Anderson Silva in short-notice fight at UFC 200
Cormier, the No. 1 fighter in the USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA light heavyweight rankings, admitted afterward, "I did what I had to do," explaining why he took away Silva's dangerous striking weapons with his world-class wrestling skills.
Only nine weeks ago, former middleweight kingpin Silva was more concerned with recovering from gallbladder surgery than fighting. But he accepted the challenge and tried to put up his best fight against his younger and more well-trained opponent. He just didn't get much of a chance to let loose the unpredictable weapons that have felled dozens of opponents. Even when he did, Cormier's speed and strength overwhelmed him.
Just 45 seconds into the fight, Silva was flat on his back, taking short elbows to the face. The Brazilian ex-champ avoided the worst of things, alternately tying up and using his legs to take Cormier's leverage. But the only time he got to his feet was when referee John McCarthy stood up the pair, prompting a scream of joy from the pro-Silva crowd, who seemed incensed the MMA hero was being manhandled. Mostly, it was Cormier on top, grinding away.
Silva got one last chance after a late standup in the third and final round. He managed to hurt Cormier with a pointed kick to the body, prompting a wince from the champ. Not eager to give up a victory after so much heartache, Cormier recovered and stuffed Silva against the fence, and there the fight ended.
"Hats off to Anderson," Cormier said. "I got him with some good elbows early and landed some hard shots, but he just kept going. It's a dangerous fight anytime you face Anderson. This is a big accomplishment for me. I appreciate the UFC for getting me this fight. I'm a happy man."
"I'm going to go back to work on TV. I haven't done that for a while. I also want to take my family on vacation. I'll just wait to see what happens between Glover Teixeira and Anthony Johnson
Cormier now has won three straight since his last defeat, a failed bid for the light heavyweight belt against the now-benched Jones. Silva, who previously lost a nail-biter against current champ Michael Bisping, remains winless in five appearances and three years.

Personality is qualitative and therefore difficult to measure, so psychological instruments cannot have the same consistency you would expect from, say, a ruler. But there are generally accepted standards for psychological instruments. The MBTI® instrument meets and exceeds the standards for psychological instruments in terms of its reliability.
On retest, people come out with three to four type preferences the same 75% to 90% of the time.
When a person changes type on retest, it is usually on one of the dichotomous pairs (e.g., E-I or S-N), and in a dichotomy where the preference clarity was low.
The reliabilities are quite good across most age and ethnic groups.
When the MBTI instrument is used with groups where reported reliabilities are lower or data are lacking, caution should be exercised and the professional should evaluate appropriate use.
Validity is the degree to which an instrument measures what it intends to measure, and the degree to which the "thing" that the instrument measures has meaning.
Why is this important? If personality type is real (or rather, if it reflects the real world with accuracy), then we should be able to use MBTI type to understand and predict people's behavior to some degree. Type should help us differentiate the values, attitudes, and behaviors of different people.
Many studies over the years have proven the validity of the MBTI instrument in three categories: (1) the validity of the four separate preference scales; (2) the validity of the four preference pairs as dichotomies; and (3) the validity of whole types or particular combinations of preferences. Many of these studies are discussed in the MBTI® Manual (published by The Myers-Briggs Company).

The Best Hotels in Glenorchy, New Zealand
Take in the cinematic landscapes of New Zealand from hotels like Ecoscapes in Glenorchy | Courtesy of Ecoscapes / Hotels.com
Alexis James
Found on the northern shore of Lake Wakatipu, near the aptly named Paradise, Glenorchy's scenic splendour and natural charm have proven a magnet to Hollywood film scouts. Featured in The Lord of the Rings (2001) and The Chronicles of Narnia (2005), this real life Middle-earth has some of the most breathtaking walks in all of New Zealand. Plot your own magical journey from one of these hotels in Glenorchy.
Blanket Bay
Part of the Wyuna Station working sheep and cattle ranch, this five-star retreat exudes alpine luxury at every turn. The 30ft-high (9m) timber trussed ceiling in the Great Room is fit for a royal, especially when the stone fireplace is roaring. Make an evening of it with canapés and a vintage wine tasting session in the schist rock-lined wine cave.
Camp Glenorchy Eco Retreat
As the name suggests, this retreat aims for the highest standards of sustainable hospitality. Native plantings and non-toxic materials are a priority at a place where the rule is "if it's not native, it's edible." It results in a beguiling mix of rustic and modern facilities, from snug eco-cabins and a sheltered open fire for toasting marshmallows, to the state-of-the-art solar garden that helps achieve a net-zero energy goal.
EcoScapes
These innovative and eco-friendly units on the northwest shores of Lake Wakatipu offer two cinematic experiences for the price of one. A cinema screen-sized window at the base of the double bed will have guests amazed at the galactic light show every evening. For a romantic movie night tucked up under the covers, activate the drop-down projector screen and make your choice from the Apple TV and Netflix accounts.
Glenorchy Motels
Each of these seven studio suites on Oban Street – formerly known as Mount Earnslaw Motels – come with a fully equipped kitchen, ensuite bathroom and air conditioning. Hot tub and sauna facilities can be reserved. Hosts Kath and Trevor Cruickshank have been Glenorchy residents since 1999 and are brimming with advice for guests keen to find out more about local excursions including fishing, kayaking and horse trekking.
Glenorchy Peaks B&B
Its location three miles (5km) north of town means this secluded B&B feels remote even by Glenorchy standards. North-facing rooms grant you an exclusive view of Mount Earnslaw and the Centaur Peaks. Take one of the many nearby hiking trails by day – including the Glacier Burn Track and Glenorchy Boardwalk – and by night, enjoy a well-earned rest in the outdoor hot tub.
There are 13 rooms available at this YHA-associated wilderness retreat, which can be booked as an entire unit or as individual room bookings. With a communal kitchen, barbecue facilities and long wooden dining tables inside and out, there is plenty to work with for self-catering. If you'd rather leave the catch of the day to the professionals, the beer-battered snapper is available for lunch and dinner at the cosy on-site restaurant.
Heritage Lodge at Kinloch Lodge
Built in 1868, the six-room heritage lodge sits between the renowned Routeburn and Greenstone tramping tracks, at the northwestern tip of Lake Wakatipu. It means getting here from Queenstown involves one of the most spectacular drives in New Zealand, and transfers can be arranged if you aren't able to make the hour-long journey yourself. Once here, mountain bikes and even electric bicycles are available for hire to explore the spots that four-wheels can't reach.
Bold Peak Lodge
It would be remiss of guests at this bright, casual lodge not to try the bar snacks and tapas at the lively Humboldt Bar. It provides the perfect pit stop following a day hiking, jet boating or even skydiving, with lodge staff happy to arrange any such activities. Then recharge again the next day with a filling breakfast of eggs and bacon and a takeaway pie at the Sugar Loaf Cafe.
Glenorchy Lake House

You'll find Glenorchy Marina and its picturesque lagoon walkway within metres of this private three-bedroom lake house that can sleep up to eight adults. Industrious owners John and Toni also run the Trading Post café next door, a Patagonia ice cream van producing locally sourced sorbets and a gift shop selling local art, handicrafts and, of course, a Lord of the Rings location guidebook.
