Officials from Shelby Township and the city of Rochester Hills on Thursday signed the first shared services agreement between the neighboring cities.
Shelby Township Supervisor Richard Stathakis and Rochester Hills Mayor Bryan Barnett met in the middle Thursday–literally—at Yates Cider Mill to sign the historic agreement.
Stathakis said the deal symbolizes how the two communities are beginning to think differently about how to provide services to its residents at lower costs.
Both the Shelby Township Board of Trustees and the Rochester Hills City Council unanimously approved the shared services deal, which in essence will allow the towns to call on the other for support on an "as needed basis."
"If one inspector goes on vacation, it would allow them (the Building Department) to call Shelby and ask for help and vice-versa," said Rochester Hills Building Director Scott Cope. "If the inspector is available to help out, than no money would be exchanged, as long as it was a reasonable amount of time."
"We will use this opportunity to meet periods of higher staff demands and loss of personnel due to vacations and illnesses," said Shelby Township Building Department Director Tim Woods.
However, if the shared agreement reaches more than 50 hours of work done by one employee, the department using the employee must pay an overtime rate of $75 an hour.
The two communities began talking about the shared agreement nearly a year ago, according to Cope, before finally signing an agreement that was approved by the local UAWs.
Stathakis said the agreement makes sense for the two towns because they are comparable in population, size, geographic location and Building Department staffing levels.
The agreement is currently limited to Building Department employees. However, Shelby Township officials have said that may change.
"I believe that our continued efforts to work with neighboring communities will creatively help Shelby Township achieve our objectives of no new taxes, no reduction in essential services and a balanced budget with minimal use of reserves," said Stathakis.
Gov. Rick Snyder's new budget calls for the elimination of $300 million in statuary revenue sharing that is normally split among 500 municipalities, and instead setting aside $200 million in shared revenues for cities, villages and townships who exhibit "the best practices" in shared services.
"We're doing exactly what he (Snyder) wants us to do," said Barnett, who said he will present Rochester's strides in shared services to the state in order to be eligible for the shared revenue money.

text: 000 FXUS63 KTOP 220911 AFDTOP AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TOPEKA KS 411 AM CDT Tue Jul 22 2014 .SHORT TERM...(Today and Tonight) Issued at 411 AM CDT TUE JUL 22 2014 Water vapor imagery this morning showed a broad mid-level ridge stretched across the Southern Rockies and the Southern and Central Plains, with a modest embedded shortwave skimming eastward along the Canadian/U.S. border toward the Great Lakes region. An area of surface low pressure was associated with this shortwave, with a cold front across Minnesota extending southwest into far northern Nebraska this morning. With the region wedged between this approaching surface trough and surface high pressure over the southeastern U.S., southerly winds prevailed overnight with high clouds streaming over the southern two-thirds of the forecast area. As a result, overnight temperatures remained mild in the mid/upper 70s. A very weak embedded shortwave was noted across southeast Nebraska/southwest Iowa, which helped to develop a few spotty showers and isolated thunderstorms early this morning just north of the forecast area. Another very warm day is expected today as we will be starting the day already with mild conditions and model soundings show deep mixing occurring through this afternoon. The strong shortwave to the north will strengthen into a more well-defined mid-level trough over the Great Lakes region today. This deepening trough combined with advancing surface high pressure behind the shortwave over the Northern Plains will help to push the cold front southward toward the area. Models are in pretty good agreement in having the front situated near the Nebraska/Kansas border between 16z-18z. The front should slowly sink southward, bisecting the forecast area from west to east by early this evening and advancing south of the area early Wednesday morning. Winds look to be a bit slow in veering to the north behind the front this afternoon across far northern Kansas, so expect high temperatures to reach into the mid 90s to low 100s across the entire forecast area. While much of the region should see dewpoints in the low/mid 70s, the models are in good agreement in low-level moisture mixing out strongly today across portions of north central and central Kansas by this afternoon. However, feel that the models may be a bit too aggressive in dropping dewpoints into the low/mid 60s, so only trended with dewpoints dropping into the mid/upper 60s across the far southwest corner of the forecast area. Also expect increased low-level moisture across far northern Kansas behind the frontal passage this afternoon, so should see rising dewpoints over this area. Will need to monitor these conditions closely today as they will have an impact on heat indices. At this time, expect heat indices to rise into the 105 to 110 degree range this afternoon, so the existing Heat Advisory will remain unchanged for today. The next area of focus is the potential for scattered showers and thunderstorms to develop along and behind the cold front late this afternoon through tonight. Models continue to vary greatly in whether or not they think storms will even be able to develop. Model soundings show that any storms that develop will likely be high-based. The environment will need to be able to overcome the modest CIN in place across the region and be able to lift parcels through the deep mixing layer to tap into the 3000-4000+ J/kg of CAPE aloft. In general, 0-6km bulk shear values are fairly weak but may reach upwards of 25-35kts. With the notable inverted-V soundings, damaging winds will be the primary threat with any storms that develop and cannot rule out some marginally-large hail. The models that are picking up on this potential for post-frontal storms have scattered activity developing across far northern Kansas by early evening and advancing southeastward. Additional scattered showers and storms will be possible overnight as an embedded shortwave approaches the area from the northwest. .LONG TERM...(Wednesday through Monday) Issued at 411 AM CDT TUE JUL 22 2014 Wednesday morning the cold front should be across southern Kansas with some post frontal precipitation as far north as east central Kansas. Have left small chances of precipitation in the morning then dry for the afternoon hours. Cooler temperatures are also expected on Wednesday, generally near our normal around 90 for late July. Temperatures expected to be a couple of degrees cooler on Thursday with warmest temperatures toward central Kansas in the nose of the thermal axis. Next chance of showers and thunderstorms comes Thursday night along and east of a warm front moving across central and eastern portions of Nebraska and Kansas. Elevated thunderstorms will be possible in the waa regime/isentropic lift along with some upper support from a weak shortwave. The precipitation may linger in the far east Friday morning. For the weekend a cold front is expected to move through the area slowly keeping a small chance of showers and thunderstorms in the forecast through Sunday evening. Models show the upper ridge moving southwest as an upper trough deepens over the Great Lakes and into the eastern states with northwest flow aloft redeveloping across the Central Plains. There is some uncertainty with the timing of the upper level forcing and have kept precipitation chances low. Cooler temperatures are expected for Monday as high pressure builds into eastern Kansas from the north as the upper trough deepens in the eastern CONUS and upper ridge builds over the Rockies and west. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFs through 06Z Tuesday Night) Issued at 1126 PM CDT MON JUL 21 2014 Vfr conditions will persist through the fcst period with only sct-bkn mid/high clouds expected. Any convection near front towards the end of the fcst period is expected to remain to the north of the terminals or be too isolated to warrant inserting thunder into the TAF forecasts. South winds overnight will slowly veer ahead of the approaching front beyond 15z...but at speeds generally 12 kts or less...then become light north/northeast with the front aft 00z/23. && .TOP WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH by by Robert C. O'Brien.
Although I loved this movie as a child (I even had the storybook), I never read the real book. Huge mistake, this book was fantastic. The movie and novel depart significantly, with there being no magical component to the novel at all. Which is a good thing, as the book is even more compelling and interesting without it. The story starts with Mrs. Frisby, a mouse, who has recently become a widow and whose young son is sick. Although her son's condition is improving, he is too sick to move, and the mouse family must move because their house will be destroyed by the farmer in five days. This problem eventually leads her to contact the rats of NIMH, a set of genetically modified super rats. Unlike the movie, the intrigue is not a power struggle within the rat community. That problem is resolved before the time of the book. Instead, the focus is on the rats starting a new rat-centric society to rival the human society that created the rats and that the rats depend upon for sustenance. During all of this we meet the kind crow, Jeremy; the formidable cat, Dragon; and the wise Great Owl.
Did I mention this book was great? I loved it. It actually reminds me of the great juvenile novels I read in my youth (Charlotte's web, The Fantastic Henry Sugar, The Hobbit). Maybe I should track down some of those and enjoy those again as well.

3) Blog Spotlight: EPA Seeking Feedback on Beta Tool to Address Community Environmental Issues
1) US, Mexico Sign Agreement Addressing High Priority Border Environmental Issues
Last week, EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson joined Mexico's Secretary for the Environment and Natural Resources Juan Elvira Quesada to sign the Border 2020 U.S.-Mexico Environmental program agreement. The Border 2020 agreement, developed with significant stakeholder input, will work to address high priority environmental and public health problems in the 2,000 mile border region. It follows the Border 2012 environmental agreement which ends this year. The Border 2020 program works to reduce pollution in water, air, and on land, reduce exposure to chemicals from accidental releases or terrorism, and improve environmental stewardship. Over the next eight years, the Border 2020 Environmental program will work towards significant improvements that will focus on five key areas, including improving access to clean and safe water as well as improving water quality in the bi-national watersheds. Click here for more information.
2) EPA to Hold Webinar on Sustainability Planning for Utilities
Effective planning is essential for utilities to sustainably manage their operations and ensure that water infrastructure investments are cost effective over their life cycle, resource-efficient, and support other relevant community sustainability goals. On September 13, 2012, from 1:00 to 2:30 p.m. ET, EPA will host a webinar on how water and wastewater utilities can engage with various stakeholders in the community to establish sustainability goals that reflect utility and community priorities. The webinar will feature presentations by two local leaders about projects in their communities. The webcast is free. For more information, contact Jim Horne at (202) 564-0571 or email@example.com. Click here to register.
3) Blog Spotlight: EPA Seeking Feedback on Beta Tool to Address Community Environmental Issues
Communities and individuals are faced with exposure to many different kinds of pollution, like lead, air pollution, water pollution, and toxics in fish. EPA scientists are designing a Community-Focused Exposure and Risk Screening Tool (C-FERST) and related research to address these challenges. C-FERST is being developed to increase the availability and accessibility of science and data for evaluating impacts of pollutants and local conditions, ranking risks, and understanding the environmental health consequences of communities. Web access to a Beta version of C-FERST is now available by request here. Click here to read the blog.

LeBron has talent off the basketball court as well as on it!
The NBA Champion is collaborating with longtime producer Tom Werner, writer/actor Mike O'Malley, his good friend Maverick Carter and manager Paul Wachter to produce a 30 minute comedy series entitled Survivor's Remorse.
The show will be about what life is like once you make it. Here's the synposis:
Lead characters Reggie Vaughn and Cam Calloway experience the price of fame and fortune that they could've never imagined while growing up in a tough Philly neighborhood. They quickly find out the struggles that come with money, celebrity status, love and sometimes the guiltiness of making it big.
Starz CEO, Chris Albrecht announced the new show on Tuesday and said, "We are incredibly excited at Starz to work with such a deep bench of talented storytellers to develop Survivor's Remorse."
Here's what LeBron himself had to say about his latest project, "I have a deep passion for the amazing television being created right now."
" When my business partners Tom Werner and Maverick Carter brought up the idea of creating a television series that would capture the story of what happens when you make it out, I jumped at the chance. For Maverick and I even to be where we are right now, given where we came from, is kind of hard to believe. I felt like it was a story that needed to be told, and nobody can craft a story like Tom Werner."
Hope all that talent does transfer over to the small screen!

Superconducting Materials and Devices
Scientists continue development of devices that detect the cosmic microwave background and the elemental composition of distant galaxies during the formation of the universe, and at home map Earth's radiation balance and empower our new telescopes.
MDL develops advanced cryogenic millimeter and submillimeter detectors for spectroscopy, imaging, and polarimetry measurements in astrophysics. JPL has been a pioneer in the development of superconducting detectors for far-infrared/submillimeter astrophysics for 25 years. Initially, this effort focused on superconductor-insulator-superconductor mixers for heterodyne receivers for high-resolution spectroscopy, used on ground-based telescopes around the world as well as on current and planned NASA flight missions. Recent development efforts have been focused on large-format arrays of direct detectors for spectroscopy, imaging, and polarimetry for astrophysics and application of these technologies for Earth and planetary science.

ORLANDO, Fla. — If youre expecting to bump into USC coach Steve Spurrier in line at Disney Worlds Space Mountain, dont hold your breath.
After practice each day, Spurrier hasnt strayed too far as he prepares his team to play Wisconsin in the Capital One Bowl.
This is the busiest time of the year down in Orlando, so the crowds at the amusement parks are very big. The lines are long, so Ive stayed away from them. Our players have gone to most of the events, but Ive hung around the hotel most of the time, Spurrier said. We have a hospitality suite, so the coaches and wives and kids hang out there a lot. We had a staff dinner (Saturday) night. Other than that, just practice and hanging around the hotel has been about what I do.
Spurrier, who has guided the Gamecocks to a 4-3 record in seven bowl appearances, is pleased with how his players have responded since arriving in Florida.
Our team has practiced well. Of course, I just about always think that. I always believe were going to play well, he said. Weve had pretty good practices. Hopefully, it will give us some returns when the ballgame starts Wednesday at one oclock.
He has his mind on extending the best run in USC football history after finishing 11-2 with rankings of No. 9 and No. 8 the past two seasons.
Every game, of course, is important for your final record, but this is your last game. So this is the one fans talk about until we play next August. Obviously, weve got a chance to win 11 again, and weve got a chance to finish the highest in school history, he said.
He knows what one more win could do for the No. 8 Gamecocks.
If we won, I dont know if we could do No. 6 in the country or not, he said. But finishing in the top 10 is certainly one of our goals this year, and if we could achieve that, that certainly would be a wonderful season for the Gamecocks.
Former USC running back Ryan Brewer holds the school record for most touchdowns in a bowl game with three. In the 2001 Outback Bowl against Ohio State, Brewer scored on runs of 7 and 2 yards while also catching a touchdown pass of 28 yards in the 24-7 victory. ... Former USC kicker Collin Mackie holds the school record for the most field goals in a bowl game with two. Mackie kicked two field goals in a 30-13 loss to LSU in the 1987 Gator Bowl. One of the field goals was a 49-yarder, USCs bowl record for distance.

(Wisconsin) is a great football team. Theyve got a great defense. They play a great scheme. Theyre so sound and very intelligent. They dont make a lot of mental mistakes. Were going to have to run the football and do it well. And then find out and see what they are giving us. Well find out early in the ballgame and see what we can do with it and work from there. - USC offensive line coach Shawn Elliott what it will take for the offense to play well

BARBOURVILLE — The Barbourville Lady Tigers improved to 17-9 on the season and 11-7 against 13th Region foes Thursday with a 78-62 win over Middlesboro.
Kelsey and Kara Erslan led the way for the Lady Tigers with 24 and 20 points, respectively, while Amber Mills added 19 in the win.
Barbourville took control early and was never threatened en route to the win. Lady Tigers' head coach Andrea Hillard said she was pleased with here team's play and called it the best "team game" the squad has played in some time.
"The game was a great step in the right direction," Hillard said. "We played the best team ball that we have played in a while."
After leading 24-16 at the end of the first quarter, Barbourville extended the gap to 43-29 at halftime. A 16-12 third quarter effort put the Lady Tigers on top 59-41 with one quarter to play in the game.
Middlesboro was able to outscore the Lady Tigers 21-19 in the fourth period, but Barbourville's lead proved too big to overcome as they came away with the win.
Barbourville 78, Middlesboro 62
Middlesboro 16 13 12 21 62
Barbourville 24 19 16 19 78
Middlesboro (62) – Green 20, Hansley 13, Spurlock 8, Padgett 7, Prater 6, Biscardi 6, Moyers 2.

Excluding Items from Time Machine Backup
It is a good idea to exclude caches, temporary files, scratch volumes, etc from Time Machine backup. Excluding such items conserves space and reduces the time to backup.
How to exclude items PERMALINK
Open Time Machine system preferences, the click on. The following dialog appears; you can drag things into it from the Finder.
I personally exclude system files and applications, because I backup those items via other means.
Adobe Lightroom considerations PERMALINK
The previews and cache generated by Adobe Lightroom should be excluded from backup, because they can be regenerated whenever desired.
Time Machine can and should be used to backup the Lightroom catalog file, but there are some caveats, see Adobe Lightroom and Time Machine Backup.
Especially with large 1:1 previews, the previews alone can total hundreds of gigabytes for users with many images. Previews are normally located in the same folder as your Lightroom Catalog, found in a folder ending in "...Previews.lrdata".
Apple Aperture considerations PERMALINK
The previews and cache generated by Apple Aperture are best excluded from backup, because they can be regenerated when desired.
Unlike Lightroom, Apple states that Time Machine can be used with Aperture without issues on Mac OS X Snow Leopard, but not Leopard.
Time Machine can and should be used to backup Aperture (in addition to other backups!).

The following reports were provided by the Wellesley Police Department. Charges where mentioned do not indicate a conviction.
Police received multiple calls about a domestic assault-and-battery incident on Route 9, 3:45 p.m. on Jan. 20, a vehicle involved was parked in a business parking lot. While officers were en route, they received a tip that the vehicle was now heading eastbound on Worcester Street. When they found and pulled the vehicle over, they spoke to the driver, 20-year-old Nelson Heredia of Jamaica Plain, and his female passenger.
The woman appeared visibly upset, and appeared to have swollen patches of her neck and face. She told police that she and Heredia had a verbal argument over a piece of jewelry, which she had threatened to throw out of the car window while they were driving. He tried to wrestle it back from her.
Heredia was arrested and charged with domestic assault-and-battery and driving on a suspended license. He was later released on personal recognizance.

News Article
This Halloween, FEARnet's got a treat and a trick for you. The treat? 24 hours of Trick 'R Treat, in full HD, for the first time on commercial television.
Writer/director Michael Dougherty's film is an instant classic in the spirit of the Hammer Horror anthologies or, closer to home, George Romero's Creepshow. But don't take our word for it: it's got a glowing 85% approval rating at RottenTomatoes.com, and our own critic Scott Weinberg called it, "a love letter to anyone who enjoys the playfully creepy Halloween season." Plus it's got a phenomenal cast, led by Anna Paquin (True Blood), Dylan Baker (Revolutionary Road) and Brian Cox (The Bourne Supremacy).
Set in a suburban town on Halloween night, it offers for intertwined tales that show what can happen when you break the night's four cardinal rules. Don't know the rules? Don't worry. We've got an exclusive video of Dougherty explaining them after the jump plus a gallery of behind-the-scenes pics from the movie shoot.
As for the trick? Read on...
Trick 'R Treat is the perfect film for Halloween, so we're showing it all day and all night.
Now here's the trick: FEARnet's horror HD movie channel debuts at midnight this Saturday night. While we expect to announce some major distribution deals soon, hardly anyone will see the channel at launch. So the odds of you being able to watch us this weekend are very, very low.
We're working with all the major TV providers to get FEARnet HD added to their channel lineups and we need your help. Call 877-FEAR-247 and we'll make sure your voice is heard so you won't miss next year's Trick 'R Treat marathon.
Watch the 24 hour Trick 'R Treat marathon beginning at 6am ET on FEARnet HD...if you can!

Next Food Network Star Winner (2013) [SPOILERS]
Done until next summer
re: DiningDiva
re: Puffin3
Demaris won, thank goodness. I hope they rework her show as the "pilot" that was taped was almost as painful to watch as the finale was last night.
I'm so glad that neither Russell or the Pie Man won. I don't think I could handle a show from either of those two but I have no doubt we'll still be stuck seeing both of them in one way or another around either FN or The Cooking Channel soon.
re: Erika RollerGirl
I didn't watch but figured she would. She was the only one remotely watchable. I thought it was funny though, that her pilot "concept" was more or less "teaching men to cook". Wasn't an early contestant skewered over that very concept since it was insulting to "a vast portion of the FN audience?"
re: DGresh
re: DGresh
re: DGresh
Yes, but that was a guy with that POV, and one that had lost a huge amount of weight. They didn't want him to "teach" people how to cook, they wanted his show to be about weight loss.
If they can find the right vehicle for Demaris, she may have a longer run than most of the others. She's telegenic, she can actually cook and her wit is quick enough to keep her from getting flustered. IOWs, she's actually likeable.
re: DiningDiva
Eater's coverage of her win from Louisville
I give the new show (if there is a show and not just a 1 hour special like Justin Warner got) 2 seasons tops.
re: Njchicaa
True. Her concept, "teaching men to cook" is wacky. I think folks will watch her first show...just like Arti Party...but that is it. Her food didn't come across as that good...and not interesting enough to make her a regular watch. Come on Food Network...with all that creativity you probably have on board....COME UP WITH SOMETHING FRESH!
re: semicooking pro
I think they should look at some of the also-rans on NFNS (Vic Vegas, Brad, Michelle R, and hey maybe even the Pie Guy among others) as well as some of the Chopped favorites (Lance, Madison, Yohanne, Mike Minor, etc.) I'd watch a show from any of the suggestions that I've listed. I'm forgetting 15 more that I'd also want to see.
They need to stop trying to search from the outside. After almost 10 seasons, there isn't any other new amazing talent out there that they haven't already found and used in one of their shows before.
How to waste a full hour of airtime on nothing new, just to take 90 seconds to announce a "winner" who we will maybe see twice more. yawn.
Coincidence that the winner is from the south? Is she a replacement for Deen??
re: mucho gordo
re: ennuisans
Timing is wrong. The PD dustup was at the end of June. They started to show this season at the beginning of June, so it must have been shot a month or more earlier. Damaris was already chosen, and may have already shot her first season.
So if anything, Damaris hastened Paula's departure. But as noted, FN already has several 'southern' shows.
I like Demaris, and we will watch her. Can't say the same about the other finalists. Or any of the others for that matter. Although the tall icy blonde was funny, I thought.
This FNS season really made me wish there was a "real" food tv station that focussed on cooking.
I miss the days when FN was all about cooking shows and teaching vs sensationalism and "reality" programming.
Novel idea for the "Next" FNS season....PLEASE forget about casting characters and just look for a yet-to-be-discovered chef that loves to cook and would do a great job inspiring others to cook.
Surely there would be a market for a show like this.......on a "Food Network"
re: Breadcrumbs
Actually, my guess is that Food Network knows what they are doing. They don't program based on opinion, they program based on numbers, and apparently reality type shows bring in the ratings that bring in the advertisers.
The thing is that when reality shows are done well with people I respect highly (Tom Colicchio, I'm looking at you) they do make for good TV. When done on a third grade level (Guy vs. Rachael) they'e unbearable. TNFNS falls somewhere in the middle, leaning towards the lowe end of the scale.
re: Breadcrumbs
FN is too big to be doing instructional shows during prime time. The audience for that isn't large enough to sustain the kind of advertising that they currently charge.
In the time since FN was all cooking shows (was there ever such a time?) FN has grown in ratings and revenue.
In this list for top rate cable shows for Sunday, FN has 6 shows. Cutthroat and NFNS are their top two.
Overall this past week FN is a bit below the middle of the pack. Discovery with Shark Week and Disney were tops
Q2 Scripps profits
FN isn't doing as well as HGTV:
HGTV was up 13.1% to $231.7 million;
Food Network was up 2.7% to $224.5 million;
Travel Channel was up 13.7% to $83.9 million;
DIY Network was up 14.6% to $38.7 million;
Cooking Channel was up 27.7% to $28.6 million
GAC was up 40.7% to $7 million.
digital businesses were up 1.1% to $28.6 million.
Cooking Channel 'finds traction in marketplace'; the advertiser's view
re: JonParker
re: paulj
I won't be watching 'D' cook anything b/c A the chances of her actually having a show are almost zero. How many 'winners' of these silly contests do we see? How many are still 'in negotiations' with FN?
B The 'pilot' was ludicrous. They brought in some poor sap from a 'casting' agency and dressed him up like 'Beaver Cleaver' even down to the dorky hair style and vest and bow tie and told him to act like a dope. He did a good job.
Maybe they'll have 'D' dressed in Black leather with a riding crop in the opening episode. I wouldn't put it past FN to try it.
re: Puffin3
re: Puffin3
re: JonParker
re: Njchicaa
I've been pretty vocal about not being happy about losing Secrets of a Restaurant Chef. I love Anne Burrell, but FN seems to be transitioning her into reality TV host rather than cooking instructor. She's really great when she's cooking.
To me anyway, she's definitely FN's best on air personality at this point.
re: JonParker
re: JonParker
I so agree. She was one of the very few on that network that I respect. She actually is an instructor at ICE. She is one of the very few who gives me real tips, and has great recipes. I admit, though she is a great cook, her attempts to connect with the audience are not great (big meat, etc), but for me she could just forget all that garbage and cook and tell me what shes doing. I miss Secrets.
re: wincountrygirl
re: wincountrygirl
I don't see Burrell listed on the ICE instructors page, but there is an ICE entry in her Wiki bio. But Bobby Flay also has been an instructor at French Culinary Institute (now ICC), as well as establishing a scholarship there. But then ICC cultivates its connections with well known chefs and owners.
But if being an instructor is important to you, Damaris' win should please you.
re: Njchicaa
Ugh. I really liked Secrets of a Restaurant Chef. Absolutely hate Anne on the Chef Wanted shows. Way too over the top. Secrets and 5 ingredient Fix are the only shows on Food Network that I've ever taken a recipe from and cooked. AND, all of the ones I tried turned out fantastic.
re: Firegoat
re: Firegoat
re: wincountrygirl
re: Firegoat
re: DiningDiva
What did she make that was interesting? I watched the entire series and didn't see anything I would want to eat. I am a southern food cook....real southern, i.e., fried chicken, potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc....yum...and Damaris didn't show me anything that was (a) southern or (b) remotely interesting to eat. Everything seemed rushed and amateurish.
re: semicooking pro
Her recipe for pimento cheese is supposed to be really good. She also made a green bean casserole that I thought looked good and that got excellent reviews from the person who bought it at auction. I think that episode was her turning point.
Demaris is a chef instructor at a community college culinary program. I am the director of food service for a very large (5th largest in the U.S.) community college district in California that has 2 culinary arts programs. A lot of community college programs are quite outstanding (Contra Costa in the Bay Area and Kendall College in Chicago come to mind) and substantially less costly than one of the big name culiary institutes.
I know most of the chef instructors in our primary culinary arts program as it shares a kitchen with one of my programs. All of them have excellent skill sets and have worked and consulted in outside industry...and most of them could go back to industry if they chose to do so. But more than the skill set, the biggest asset all the instructors possess is the ability to communicate to 18-20 year old students who
1) a completely clueless
2) have probably not worked in a commercial kitchen
3) have no sense of urgency (i.e. as in getting to class at 7:45 am)
4) may have substance abuse problems
5) may have attitude problems
6) may not be committed to a career in the food biz
7) have no knife skills
8) have no understanding of flavors and senses
9) would prefer to be surfing
10) think the world owes them a living
All of these chef instructors give their students a ration of tough love in addition to solid and servicable skills.
On Monday we are opening 3 food service operations in a brand new student union building. We moved in in May and I hired one of the chef instructors to help us with getting some of our operational strategies set up. It was a good investment in terms of what we got as the pay back, particularly in troubleshooting and tweaking new menu items. I also hired about 8 students out of the culinary arts programs to assist in our baking and production departments. I don't expect them to set the world on fire, but I do know that they know what they're doing and will be able to produce.
My point with this is that if Demaris is anywhere near as skilled as the culinary instructors with which I work on a routine basis, she probably does have reasonably good cooking abilities and she is probably reasonably able to communicate what she does know. She found her voice in the last couple of episodes, now it's FTVs responsibility to keep developing her...or not. I think if they do, she has a reasonably good shot at being more successful than some of her predecessors.
re: DiningDiva
re: Firegoat
Damaris may be an excellent instructor...maybe...but it takes something special to be a network star. There are sooooo many already on the station. She won because the others were so bad...not because she was so special. Again..this is not about her personally....it is the perceived star quality that I do not believe is there. But....we will see.
re: semicooking pro
Guy Fieri was loud and annoying on his season of FNS. His initial show wasn't all that great either. Then FTV found the right vehicle forim and his star took off. Demaris may or may not have that kind of success. It will depend entirely upon what kind of show they give her and how much they really want to develop her. I think she has a better chance than some of the other winners, but it's certainly a crap shoot.
re: DiningDiva
I like watching Secrets to learn techniques. Browning stuff (especially tomato paste for bolognese), whipping egg whites, charring and peeling peppers, etc. I learned that from SORC.
Her recipes and meal plans, on the other hand, aren't appealing to me. I don't like dark greens, nuts on salads, acorn/butternut squash, etc.
I bought her first cookbook as a pre-order---sight unseen. I won't make that mistake again. Nothing I've tried from Cook Like A Rock Star has been amazing. She was Iron Chef Mario Batali's go-to pasta chef but her pasta recipe just doesn't work. I always have to add more oil and moisture and I'm no expert. I am just some random person with Italian grandparents who taught me how to make, knead, roll out, and use homemade pasta.
I won't be buying the new book (Own Your Kitchen?). I may not even borrow it from the library.
re: Njchicaa
re: Njchicaa
re: Njchicaa
Oil in pasta? I always use Marcella's pasta recipe (and don't tell her, but I do it in the food processor) and it's perfect every time, no oil, no water, no salt. Just eggs and flour. If I recall the ratio is 3/4 cup flour to one egg but I don't have the book in front of me. It looks very grainy and impossible (almost like wet sand) after whirring in the food processor, but a squeeze with the fingers makes it into a ball that can be worked in the pasta machine (I have a manual atlas). Perfect every time.
re: JonParker
re: jmckee
Well, first of all I've been posting on these boards since 1999, long before anyone except his mother had heard of Guy Fieri. That said, I don't like his personality, I don't like the fact that they've pretty much turned Saturday programming over to him, I don't like his homophobia. He doesn't appeal to me at all.
I didn't say that the places he goes to are bad. At least some of the ones he's been to in Baltimore are favorites of mine, although others are tourist traps. But I'll never know about a lot of places because I can't stand to watch him.
re: JonParker
re: cstumiller
re: paulj
The network does not receive a pass on having a homophobe on regardless of it's other programming. The public should do to Guy (I still have not heard why he is a homophobe) what it did to Paula Deen as these thoughts can't be tolerated or allowed on TV.
I would hope that President Obama through an executive order could work with the FCC to remove this crap from our airwaves.
re: paulj
Ted Allen, the host of Chopped, is openly gay -- he got his start on the TV show "Queer Eye For the Straight Guy" as the food expert. I used to not mind Fieri, but now I can't tolerate him at all.
re: JonParker
Thanks. clearly he should be thrown off the network. I also think a progressive NYC council should look into taking away his license to run a restaurant or to have a state issued liquor license.
Clearly like Alec Baldwin, Fieri has people in power that will attempt to profit from his homophobia. What a shame.
re: cstumiller
I think you should see for yourself if indeed Guy does anything to be classified as homophobic. One person making that comment doesn't mean anything. I sure have never seen anything on a TV show. No idea if there's stuff going on in the background that I wouldn't see, but I'm not gonna go stomping off the Food Network (not that I watch it that much) without proof.
re: Joanie
I don't think Fieri has done anything on a broadcast that was demonstrably homophobic. Here's what his former producer said. It's not just homophobia, but inappropriate gestures and comments about women and sex.
re: JonParker
re: sparky403
re: sparky403
Jon linked to the Huffington Post a much respected main stream news site. What is in the article is appalling and we must stand up against this homophobic mindset.
I care little about his Sister and her sexuality and at the end of the day, that has nothing to do with the views of Guy about others. He is obviously a hater.
I might add that African-Americans are a 12% of the population. How often do you see black chefs or owners on DDD? heck even when they have them they make sure many of the customers are white.
Homophobic..racist.. both Guy and the network.
re: cstumiller
I'm actually not sure I'd call the network homophobic. Gay men are all over the Cooking Channel and Barefoot Contessa; Ted Allen is the host of the only bona fide hit they have, and the brilliant Anne Burrell is one of their stars -- I'm not sure the homophobic accusation stands up. And to their credit, they did drop Paula Deen like a hot potato. I'll buy that Guy has his issues, but I'm not sure they extend to FN.
re: cstumiller
Um.... Bob Tuchman is gay also - there's apparently far more to the "story" than you've read.... so read up... has to do more with an agenda than Homophobia..
Also, Anne Burrell is very out of the closet (thanks Ted Allen). http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/05...
So I have no Idea how you get the Idea the The FN is anti-gay?
re: cstumiller
re: JonParker
I really have no idea what Guy Fieri's personal views are but I would not like to see him banned as one other poster suggested. I would prefer that viewers vote with their remote control and let the decision be made that way. I personally quit watching triple D a while back when he was in a diner with a very young chef who looked wet behind the ears and scared to death to be on tv (as I would be as well.) I guess he accidently insulted Guy and Guy jumped down his throat. I'm surprised it was not edited out but it was a turning point for me in regards to watching the show.
re: Breadcrumbs
They are an entertainment channel with a focus on food, not a cooking channel. Its the same reason sports talk radio doesnt just talk about sports. It widens the audience and is mostly driven by personalities rather than by the actual subject matter. In my opinion the best cooking shows still are on PBS, by people like Rick Bayless (sp?)
re: cwdonald
I've heard Food Network on at least two different sports radio networks. Both times Giada was a topic, one was who would be easier to score a date with, Giada or Rachel Ray. The winner Rachel, being a bit more of an everyman type, but both are big hits. We also radio guy that hosts a food show on the weekends and pretty much interviews all the Top Chef winners every week.
it seems to me that in past seasons the winner's new show aired the day after their win was announced. I guess they've stopped that practice? I checked the FN site and don't find a program listed yet for Damaris. I'll check out an episode or two when it airs, see how it goes.
re: jujuthomas
re: jujuthomas
Past seasons were judged by the network and the shows were taped between the taping and airing of the finale. Now that they are using viewer voting to decide the winner there's no way to get a show ready on such short notice. On the finale they said her show would be sometime this fall.
It's awful how I spent half an hour working out how to make Damaris' concept into a competition show--teaching beaus a recipe, then teaching the dates one, and ending up with a couple a la Dating Game--but it's only because her proposed format is kind of bad and boring. I hope they forget the dating frame and just give her a normal show.
re: jujuthomas
LA Times article on her win
There won't be any show for D - Just like there wasn't any for Justin (I think he got 1 single show?).
They don't make $$ off the food / cooking shows- they make $$ via ratings for Shows like the Next food network star... which they never cast or fund.
The F/N might be doing okay $$ wise but I rarely bother the watch the all chopped, all DDD network.
I still and will always love IC
Say what you want about Fieri but he was the last original contestant with a larger than life personality that has won and succeeded after being on this silly show
It was painful to watch....because it didn't seem that anyone could actually cook well enough to instruct others. All three finalists...but especially the pie guy and the sin guy were unfortunately horrendous to watch. Real amateurs. I know they all are amateurs...but honestly, I don't believe either one of them would be able to rise to the occasion and be "network stars". I am sure nice guys, though...but it wasn't about being nice...but being good enough to be on tv.
Further, where are the others? Where is Arti Party? Where is Big Daddy? Where are these people. Maybe it might be good to consider a rotating group....each one would be on once a month. I dont know...but I think network stars need to be revamped.
re: semicooking pro
Aarti and Big Daddy have been cancelled as well as D'Arabian I suspect. It is amazing that the Sandwich guy is still going but I think he will run out of sandwiches soon and be cancelled as well.
They have also cancelled Aida, Ellie Krieger, Neelys, Secrets of a Restaurant Chef, 5 Ingredient Fix, Semi-Homemade (I think), Rachael Ray's Week in a Day (I think), and maybe even 30 Minute Meals. Has anyone seen any promos in the past year or 2 about a new season of 30 Minute Meals?
re: Njchicaa
re: semicooking pro
'cancelled' is a clumsy term when FN has a half dozen 'seasons' of a show on hand. Even if they produce one or two new seasons in a year, most of the episodes will be repeats. You have to pay attention to distinguish new episodes from the repeats. Just because they aren't showing any new episodes now, doesn't mean that there aren't some more in the works, that might appear in November.

IE10 for Windows 7 nears final release, says report
But lots of bugs still on the public bug tracker
Computerworld - Microsoft is close to wrapping up work on Internet Explorer 10 (IE10) on Windows 7, according to a report published Friday.
Citing sources enrolled in an invitation-only IE10 test group, Microsoft-watcher and ZDNet blogger Mary Jo Foley said that the Redmond, Wash.-based developer has told those testers that the latest build will be the last before the browser is released to the public.
Officially, IE10 on Windows 7 remains in "Release Preview," a build that debuted Nov. 13, 2012. At the time, Computerworld speculated that a final release would occur before the end of 2012, basing its estimate on the development timetable for IE9. Instead, the browser will apparently launch in 2013.
Today, Microsoft again declined to comment on IE10's shipping schedule.
IE10's public feedback website (requires log-in using a Microsoft account) -- different from the one that Foley cited -- contains a wide variety of bug reports, hinting that Microsoft still has work to do before shipping a final version. Among them, a glitch that disables Windows 7's "Aero" interface graphical elements when IE10 runs.
IE10 will not be released for Windows Vista, the 2007 problem-plagued operating system, nor, with its retirement looming next year, Windows XP. Microsoft was the first, and so far, only, browser maker to drop Vista, just as it was the first -- and again, the only -- developer to abandon Windows XP last year when it shipped IE9.
IE10 is also the browser packaged with Windows 8 and its tablet-centric spinoff Windows RT.
The Release Preview of IE10 for Windows 7 can still be downloaded from Microsoft's website.

Teen summer job market should be better this year
Teenagers should have an easier time finding a job this summer, according to a recent report by outplacement consultancy Challenger, Gray & Christmas.
Summer will bring more job opportunities for 16- to 19-year-olds, but there will be competition from recent college grads and older workers, John A. Challenger, CEO of Challenger, Gray & Christmas, said in a news release.
"Employment gains for teens in May, June and July should surpass last year's levels," the news release says.
Teens looking for a summer job should start looking now, Challenger said.
"There will definitely be more opportunities for teenagers seeking employment this summer. Of course, it is still a competitive environment. So, teens should not expect employers to come knocking on their door. The search will require maximum effort, starting now, in order to have a position lined up before the school year ends," Challenger said.
Increased employment is expected in the retail "particularly among food stores, clothing and clothing accessory stores, and sporting goods, hobby, book and music stores," according to Challenger.
An improving housing market could mean more job openings from landscaping companies and contractors, Challenger said.

The Battle of Kwajalein occurred in the Pacific Theater of World War II.
Armies & Commanders:
- Rear Admiral Richmond K. Turner
- Major General Holland M. Smith
- approx. 42,000 men (2 divisions)
- Rear Admiral Monzo Akiyama
- approx. 8,100 men
The fighting around Kwajalein began on January 31, 1944 and concluded February 3, 1944.
Battle of Kwajalein Overview:
In the wake of the US victory at Tarawa in November 1943, Allied forces continued their "island-hopping" campaign by moving against Japanese positions in Marshall Islands. Part of the "Eastern Mandates," the Marshalls were originally a German possession and were awarded to Japan after World War I. Considered part of the outer ring of Japanese territory, planners in Tokyo decided after the loss of the Solomons and New Guinea that the islands were expendable. With this in mind, what troops were available were shifted to the area to make the islands' capture as costly as possible.
Led by Rear Admiral Monzo Akiyama, Japanese forces in the Marshalls consisted of the 6th Base Force which initially numbered approximately 8,100 men and 110 aircraft. While a sizable force, Akiyama's strength was diluted by the need to spread his command over the entirety of the Marshalls. In addition, many of Akiyama's troops were labor/construction details or naval forces with little ground combat training. As a result, Akiyama could muster around 4,000 effectives. Believing the assault would strike one of the outlying islands first, he positioned the bulk of his men on Jaluit, Mille, Maloelap, and Wotje.
In November 1943, American airstrikes began whittling down Akiyama's air power, destroying 71 aircraft. These were partially replaced over the next several weeks by reinforcements flown in from Truk. On the Allied side, Admiral Chester Nimitz originally planned a series of assaults on the outer islands of the Marshalls, but upon learning of Japanese troop dispositions through ULTRA radio intercepts altered his approach. Rather than strike where Akiyama's defenses were strongest, Nimitz directed his forces to move against Kwajalein Atoll in the central Marshalls.
Designated Operation Flintlock, the Allied plan called for Rear Admiral Richmond K. Turner's 5th Amphibious Force to deliver Major General Holland M. Smith's V Amphibious Corps to the atoll where Major General Harry Schmidt's 4th Marine Division would assault the linked islands of Roi-Namur while Major General Charles Corlett's 7th Infantry Division attacked Kwajalein Island. To prepare for the operation, Allied aircraft repeatedly struck Japanese airbases in the Marshalls through December. Moving into position, US carriers began a concerted air offensive against Kwajalein on January 29, 1944.
Two days later, US troops captured the small island of Majuro, 220 miles to the southeast, without a fight. That same day, members of the 7th Infantry Division landed on small islands, dubbed Carlos, Carter, Cecil, and Carlson, near Kwajalein to establish artillery positions for the assault on the island. The next day, the artillery, with additional fire from US warships, opened fire on Kwajalein Island. Pummeling the narrow island, the bombardment allowed the 7th Infantry to land and easily overcome the Japanese resistance. The attack was also aided by the weak nature of the Japanese defenses.
At the north end of the atoll, elements of the 4th Marines followed a similar strategy and established fire bases on islands dubbed Ivan, Jacob, Albert, Allen, and Abraham. Attacking Roi-Namur on February 1, they succeeded in securing the airfield on Roi that day and eliminated Japanese resistance on Namur the next day. The largest single loss of life in the battle occurred when a Marine threw a satchel charge into a bunker containing torpedo warheads. The resulting blast killed 20 Marines and wounded several others.
The victory at Kwajalein broke a hole through the Japanese outer defenses and was a key step in the Allies' island-hopping campaign. Allied losses in the battle numbered 372 killed and 1,592 wounded. Japanese casualties are estimated at 7,870 killed/wounded and 105 captured. In assessing the outcome at Kwajalein, Allied planners were pleased to find that the tactical changes made after the bloody assault on Tarawa had bore fruit and plans were made to attack Eniwetok Atoll on February 17. For the Japanese, the battle demonstrated that beachline defenses were too vulnerable to attack and that defense in-depth was necessary if they hoped to stop Allied assaults.

I'm getting more and more into Google Wave as a collaboration tool. I'm using it with Justin Levy for work stuff, with a whole host of people for my new business project, and I'm getting into the possibilities. I still have many wishes for it (post forthcoming). Today, I started using it for task management, shifting away from my use of "Things" on my Mac.
Here's my reasoning:
We can only visit so many applications regularly as part of a flow. Right now, my current "go to" applications are: email, Google Reader, calendar, Facebook, Twitter, email marketing (Publicaster), Evernote, slowly Google Wave, and that's about it.
In a business flow, they work something like this:
- Mail and Twitter – communication / media making
- Reader – monitoring and story gathering
- Calendar – scheduling / appointments
- Evernote – "storage" information (like my frequent flier card #'s)
- Google Wave – project collaboration, like figuring out how things will work for events, etc.
Inside Wave, I started a wave to myself called "Threads." In there, I have the status of Open, Waiting For, and Scratch Pad. I edit them as I have things come in. So, if someone needs something, I throw it in the "open" section until I get it done.
What's missing are things like "deadlines," but you know what? I don't use deadlines, and if I have a deadline, I use the calendar. What's also missing are some automated functions, like being able to "checkbox" closed a task. But I don't care. I just delete.
The point, I guess, is that I'm using Google Wave as a task manager because it's starting to fit into my flow. All my tools have to fit some kind of flow or I won't use them.
Have you ever mapped your own flows?
And what do you think of the idea?

The Difference Between Aspergers and PDD-NOS
My 7-year-old son has been diagnosed with ADHD. The pediatrician also thinks that he may have Aspergers or Pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified. After researching the two diagnoses, I see that they are very similar. What type of testing can I have done to determine what kind of help my son needs?
Like Autism and Aspergers, Pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS) is one of the five subtypes of the Autism Spectrum Disorders. Children diagnosed with PDD-NOS will have less social impairment than a youngster with Autism or Aspergers.
The Autism Spectrum Disorders are:
1. Pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified
2. Autism
3. Asperger syndrome
4. Rett syndrome
5. Childhood disintegrative disorder
To confuse matters, there is a division among therapists on the use of the term Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD), which is the same thing as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Many use the term PDD as a short way of saying PDD-NOS. Others use the general category label of PDD because they are hesitant to diagnose very young kids with a specific type of PDD (e.g., Autism). Both approaches contribute to confusion about the term, because the term PDD actually refers to a category of disorders and is not a diagnostic label.
PDD is not itself a diagnosis, while PDD-NOS is. To further complicate the issue, PDD-NOS can also be referred to as "atypical personality development," "atypical PDD," or "atypical Autism."
Some clinicians use PDD-NOS as a "temporary" diagnosis for youngsters under the age of 5, when for whatever reason there is a reluctance to diagnose Autism. There are several justifications for this. Very young kids have limited social interaction and communication skills to begin with, thus it can be tricky to diagnose milder cases of Autism in a toddler. The unspoken assumption is that by the age of 5, unusual behaviors will either resolve or develop into diagnosable Autism.
Because of the "NOS" (i.e., not otherwise specified), it is hard to describe what PDD-NOS is, other than its being an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Some children diagnosed with PDD-NOS are close to having Aspergers, but do not quite fit the profile. Others have near full-blown Autism, but without some of its symptoms. The field of psychology is considering creating several subclasses within PDD-NOS.
To confirm the diagnosis, continue to consult with your doctor and get a referral to either a neurologist or child and adolescent psychiatrist to figure out exactly what is going on with your child. Once you have a definitive answer, you can then check for resources in your local area. Each U.S. state has different resources tied-in with the local schools. Your doctor should be able to point you in the right direction. If not, the local school district should have some referrals for you.

This was a great question to ask! My son was recently diagnosed as PDD-NOS and I had somehow gotten the clue that he was considered to be on the mild side of autism but no one was really clear about what that meant. I kept hearing how Aspergers was also mild and was confused about what the difference was also. I am not so sure my questions are completely answered after this but it did help!

I have a two yr old. So far the Dx we have is SID, PDD-NOS, and vision impairment. There are things that he does that are red flags for spectrum disorders, yet there are other things he does that are not. He is social, does not have speech delays, and other things. I'm not sure what to do. All his therapists say he does not have autism but do not know what he does have. Every time he is evaluated but someone it is done in a therapy setting, and since he has been in therapy since a year he knows what to do so they are not getting an accurate feel of how he acts. I feel like no one is listening to me. I wish I could video tape how he acts at home and in certain situations. Did anyone else run in to this problem? Any words of wisdom?

I often wonder if we are the only parents of an aspie-ish PDD-NOS son who has learning disabilities, instead of academic gifts. Have you covered that scenario? We seem doubly burdened because the LD brings in so many school challenges that most aspies sail through. Math and writing especially.
- December 7, 2011 at 12:11 PM
I've discovered over the years that some PDD-NOS kids are really AS/ADHD kids. It's possible that's what's going on in your case (perhaps a second opinion from a diagnostician who specializes in Aspergers would be helpful). PDD-NOS may be thought of as "subthreshold autism," or a diagnosis one can give a person who has "atypical symptomatology." In other words, when someone has autistic characteristics but some of their symptoms are mild, or they have symptoms in one area (like social deficits), but none in another key area (like restricted, repetitive behaviors), they may be given the PDD-NOS label. Researchers have found that those with PDD-NOS could be placed in one of three very different subgroups:
A high-functioning group (24%) who resembled people with Asperger syndrome but had transient language delay or mild cognitive impairment (such that they could not receive the Asperger diagnosis which requires no speech or cognitive delay).
A group (24%) who resembled people with autism but who had a late age of onset, or otherwise did not meet the criteria for autism.
A group (52%) who were autistic-like, but displayed fewer stereotyped and repetitive behaviors.
I'm not sure I answered your question, but there you go...

How to Prevent Meltdowns in Aspergers Children
Don't breathe a sigh of relief yet. At the least provocation, for the remainder of that day -- and sometimes into the next - the meltdown can return in full force.
If your child suffers from Asperger's Syndrome, expect him to experience both minor and major meltdowns over incidents that are part of daily life. He may have a major meltdown over a very small incident, or may experience a minor meltdown over something that is major. There is no way of telling how he is going to react about certain situations. However, there are many ways to help your child learn to control his emotions.

Parenting Defiant Aspergers Teens
The standard disciplinary techniques that are recommended for "typical" teenagers do not take into account the many issues facing a child with a neurological disorder. Violent rages, self-injury, isolation-seeking tendencies and communication problems that arise due to auditory and sensory issues are just some of the behaviors that parents of teens with Aspergers will have to learn to control.
Parents need to come up with a consistent disciplinary plan ahead of time, and then present a united front and continually review their strategies for potential changes and improvements as the Aspergers teen develops and matures.

Aspergers Children "Block-Out" Their Emotions
Although they may vary slightly from person to person, children with Aspergers tend to have similar symptoms, the main ones being:
=> A need to know when everything is happening in order not to feel completely overwhelmed
=> A rigid insistence on routine (where any change can cause an emotional and physiological meltdown)
=> Difficulties with social functioning, particularly in the rough and tumble of a school environment
=> Obsessive interests, with a focus on one subject to the exclusion of all others
=> Sensory issues, where they are oversensitive to bright light, loud sounds and unpleasant smells
=> Social isolation and struggles to make friends due to a lack of empathy, and an inability to pick up on or understand social graces and cues (such as stopping talking and allowing others to speak)

Older Teens and Young Adult Children With Aspergers Still Living At Home
Parents of teens with Aspergers face many problems that other parents do not. Time is running out for teaching their adolescent how to become an independent adult. As one mother put it, "There's so little time, yet so much left to do."
Parents face issues such as college preparation, vocational training, teaching independent living, and providing lifetime financial support for their child, if necessary. Meanwhile, their immature Aspergers teenager is often indifferent – and even hostile – to these concerns.
As you were raising your child, you imagined how he would be when he grew up. Maybe you envisioned him going to college, learning a skilled traded, getting a good job, or beginning his own family. But now that (once clear) vision may be dashed. You may be grieving the loss of the child you wish you had.
If you have an older teenager with Aspergers who has no clue where he is going in life, or if you have an "adult-child" with Aspergers still living at home (in his early 20s or beyond), here are the steps you will need to take in order to foster the development of self-reliance in this child.

|Estimation of lung oedema in humans by transmission-emission scintigraphy with 99Tcm.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 1848359 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|We have used a combination of transmission and emission gamma camera techniques to scan the thorax in the anteroposterior plane in 21 patients with partially treated cardiogenic pulmonary oedema and have compared their results with those from 20 age-matched normal subjects who were scanned previously. For transmission scanning, an external 99Tcm flood source was used; for emission scanning we labelled sequentially the vascular compartment with 99Tcm autologous erythrocytes and the interstitium with 99Tcm diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (99Tcm-DTPA). From the transmission scans we derived the transthoracic tissue thickness (Tt) and from the emission scans, after correction for attenuation, the regional blood and interstitial volumes. In the lower zone of the right lung, mean (S.D.) Tt in normal subjects was 10.9 (S.D. 3.1) cm and in subjects with lung oedema was 12.5 (S.D. 3.1) cm (P = 0.07). There was a weak correlation between Tt and a radiographic numerical score of oedema severity (r = 0.47, P less than 0.05). In eight subjects with lung oedema, lung tissue thickness (T1) was estimated (by subtraction from Tt of radiographically estimated chest wall thickness). The T1 correlated closely with the radiographic score (r = 0.78, P less than 0.01). There was no significant change in blood or interstitial volumes in oedema. In conclusion: (1) transmission scanning gives an indication of oedema severity if an allowance is made for chest wall thickness; (2) 99Tcm-DTPA fails to equilibrate fully with oedema liquid during an equilibration period of 5 min.

Anatolia's Gate: (A) 7084 Kingsway (N) 604-525-2519
I passed by this restaurant about a trillion times not knowing it was so popular! I wouldn't have known about it if it wasn't for Urbanspoon. Saw the ridiculous amount of reviews on the site. This is my first Turkish food experience and although I am always "RIGHT", I lack knowledge in this area, so.. I can't be all miss-know-it-all in this situation. So so so unfortunate, I know. From what I encounter in this first time experience, I LOVE TURKISH FOOD. BRING ME TO TURKEY! Or better yet, BRING TURKEY TO ME because I am super lazy at the moment.
