Enforcing the ADA, A Status Report from the Department of Justice. Standards for Accessible Design. Tool Kit: Chapter 1, Statutes and Regulations. ADA Best Practices Tool Kit for State and Local Governments Chapter 1 A. Introduction On July 26, 1990, President George H. W. Bush signed into law the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”) saying these words, “Let the shameful wall of exclusion finally come tumbling down.”1 One of the most important civil rights law to be enacted since the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the ADA prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities.

What does the ADA mean for state and local governments in the delivery of their programs, services, and activities, as well as their employment practices? Accessibility is not just physical access, such as adding a ramp where steps exist. Before you begin your accessibility audit, you need to understand the answers to several basic questions. What is the ADA, and are there any other laws or regulations I need to know about to do an accessibility evaluation? B. Before looking at the individual parts of the ADA, it’s best to look at the whole picture.

One of the complaints that I’ve heard quite often lately about Firefox is that the default Firefox theme in Vista just doesn’t feel like it belongs with the rest of the eye candy. After doing some browsing around today, I’ve figured out some repeatable steps to make Firefox look a lot like IE7. On to the eye candy! =) Here’s some screenshots of Firefox and Internet Explorer 7 running under Vista. The main difference between the two is that IE uses transparancy for the top toolbar and Firefox doesn’t. In order to achieve this look, the first thing we’ll need to do is install a few addons to Firefox. The first add-on is the great theme called “myFirefox”… the author did a really great job. MyFirefox Personal Menu Update.. Once you have those both installed, and have restarted Firefox, we can move on. MyFireFox :: Firefox Add-ons. Fix it geek personal menu tabs. Firefox Showcase - Getting Started. Firefox Showcase is a Firefox extension designed to facilitate tab discovery and management.

There are 3 different ways to invoke Showcase: In a window: the content will be shown in a separate window. Inside a tab: the content will be shown inside a tab of the invoking Firefox window. On the sidebar: Showcase will use the current Firefox window sidebar. Also, it can be invoked in 2 different modes: Global: Showcase will show tabs from all currently opened Firefox windows. Local: only tabs from the invoking Firefox window will be shown.

Next there's a table with the default keyboard shortcuts for each of the modes: To change the shortcuts, you may use the Keyconfig extension. Each Showcase invocation mode has a menu entry in the Firefox menu bar: 2 in the Sidebar menu ("View" > "Sidebar"), and 4 in the new "Showcase" menu ("View" > "Showcase"), just under the "Sidebar" menu. The old functionality is still present, and may be invoked by clicking the right mouse button on it. TOC || Next >> Vista Style Popup Previews for Firefox Tabs :: the How-To Geek. One of my favorite features in Windows Vista is the taskbar thumbnail previews, especially now that they can be resized. If you would like this functionality for Firefox’s tabs, you can use the Tab Scope extension to give you a similar feature.

When you hover your mouse over a tab, a popup preview window will show up with a thumbnail of the page. Note that you can actually interact with this thumbnail, links are clickable and you can use the scroll mouse button. You can easily change the size of the popup preview as well by using the Tab Scope Options under Tools \ Addons. I’d advise changing the wait time up a bit, otherwise the popups will really annoy you as you try and mouse over the interface. Download Tab Scope from Mozilla Add-ons Lowell Heddings, better known online as the How-To Geek, spends all his free time bringing you fresh geekery on a daily basis.

State of Illinois | Division of Professional Regulation License Look Up. Illinois Department of Revenue. The News-Gazette.com: State's 2 biggest public pension funds in 'precarious position' Photo by: Vanda Bidwell Chief Investment Officer Dan Allen talks during a staff meeting of State Universities Retirement System employees. CHAMPAIGN – The state's two biggest public pension funds suffered historic losses in 2008, shedding a combined $17 billion in assets and leaving them significantly underfunded. The State Universities Retirement System saw its assets decline nearly 28 percent last year, and the Teachers' Retirement System, the state's biggest pension, saw its portfolio drop 30 percent. "It's been unprecedented – there's been no place to hide," said Dan Allen, chief investment officer for SURS, which is based in Champaign and represents 205,000 current, retired and inactive university and community college employees in Illinois.

SURS' pension assets declined $5 billion last year to $10.9 billion, as of Dec. 31. The Teachers' Retirement System pension assets declined from $41.7 billion on Dec. 31, 2007, to $29.1 billion a year later. But there are signs of trouble. Welcome to TicketWeb!

Self-Determination for Postsecondary Students What is self-determination? Many researchers have defined the concept of self-determination. This Web topic will use the definition developed by Martin and Huber Marshall (1995). They define self-determination as consisting of seven components: Self-awareness is the ability to identify and understand one’s needs, interests, strengths, limitations, and values.

Why is self-determination important for students with disabilities in postsecondary education? Self-determination is a critical skill for success of students with disabilities in postsecondary education, because after high school graduation they are no longer entitled to the services detailed in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act of 2004. The elements of self-determination described above are key to achieving goals. What is the relationship between self-determination and locus of control? A critical factor related to self-determination is locus of control. Other topics:

"I felt I was ready for the test, but when it started my mind just went blank. " "Before the test started I felt sick. "I kept thinking to myself what would happen if I did poorly on this test, I just knew it would be awful because I was going to fail again. " "I thought I did just fine, but when the grade came back it was a 'D', I don't know what happened. " "I am always feeling under pressure, my life is just too hectic.

" If you have signed up to take a test anxiety reduction program you know already about the above kinds of thoughts and feelings.

The mileage cap varies based on production and site. Read this newsgroup post for details if you like. This newsgroup post is where it all started. This calls for a VLOOKUP/MATCH combo if I ever saw it. The formula in E15 (and filled down column E) is MATCH: The MATCH function returns the column that matches the site entered.

VLOOKUP: The left-most column of the mileage cap table is filled with the lowest number of the appropriate range of numbers. MIN: The whole thing is wrapped in a MIN because it’s a cap. I hope that helps Tomkat. Disability Documentation Survey Results| UConn. Novell Groupwise conflict with Microsoft Outlook email client. Online Art Magazine - How To: Wall Mount Work Bench & Paper Rack System. I just redid my studio last fall and I found a great modular system to outfit the space. I built a wall mounted workbench, storage shelves and a paper rack. This system can be adapted to fit any space or storage needs, is incredibly strong and the components are widely available. It was very easy system to install, is composed of super heavy-duty industrial galvanized parts and wasn't very expensive.

I have always had tables and benches that sat on the floor and what I love about this system is that is so solid - no wiggling or correcting for a wobbly leg, or uneven floor. The entire systems can support up to 2400 lbs, so they are not the old 70's type brackets, they are much larger and stronger. The parts for just the paper rack ran about $50. -- a 52" wide, 4 pole paper rack -- an 8' x 2' workbench -- two 8' x 1' shelves and one 6' x 8" shelf. The bracket system is made by The John Sterling Corp and I bought the parts at Home Depot. The parts used to create the example shown are: IllinoisJudges.net Homepage.
