To get started with the AWS SDK for .NET, set up the following:
AWS Account and Credentials
.NET Development Environment
AWS SDK for .NET
To access AWS, you will need to sign up for an AWS account.
To sign up for an AWS account
Go to http://aws.amazon.com, and then click Sign Up.
Follow the on-screen instructions.
Part of the sign-up procedure involves receiving a phone call and entering a PIN using the phone keypad.
AWS sends you a confirmation email after the sign-up process is complete. At any time, you can view your current account activity and manage your account by going to http://aws.amazon.com and clicking My Account/Console.
To get your access key ID and secret access key
Access keys consist of an access key ID and secret access key, which are used to sign programmatic requests that you make to AWS. If you don't have access keys, you can create them by using the AWS Management Console. We recommend that you use IAM access keys instead of AWS root account access keys. IAM lets you securely control access to AWS services and resources in your AWS account.
To create access keys, you must have permissions to perform the required IAM actions. For more information, see Granting IAM User Permission to Manage Password Policy and Credentials in Using IAM.
Go to the IAM console.
From the navigation menu, click Users.
Select your IAM user name.
Click User Actions, and then click Manage Access Keys.
Click Create Access Key.
Your keys will look something like this:
Access key ID example: AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE
Secret access key example: wJalrXUtnFEMI/K7MDENG/bPxRfiCYEXAMPLEKEY
Click Download Credentials, and store the keys in a secure location.
Your secret key will no longer be available through the AWS Management Console; you will have the only copy. Keep it confidential in order to protect your account, and never email it. Do not share it outside your organization, even if an inquiry appears to come from AWS or Amazon.com. No one who legitimately represents Amazon will ever ask you for your secret key.

To use the AWS SDK for .NET, you'll need the following software:
Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 or later
Microsoft Visual Studio Professional edition or better, version 2010 or newer.
To confirm installation
Start Visual Studio.
On the Help menu, click About. A dialog box opens that lists Microsoft Visual Studio and .NET Framework versions.
Configuring the .NET CLR
For the best performance of your server-based applications with the AWS SDK for .NET, we recommend that you use Server mode garbage collection (GC).
To enable Server mode GC, add the following to your app.config file:
<gcServer enabled="true"/>
<gcConcurrent enabled="true"/>
Server mode GC works only on systems with multiple processors or processor cores. Enabling Server mode GC has no effect otherwise.
To install the AWS SDK for .NET
Click the Download button in the upper right corner of the page. Your browser will prompt you to save the install file.
To begin the install process, open the saved install file and follow the on-screen instructions.
By default, the AWS SDK for .NET is installed in the Program Files directory, which requires administrator privileges. You can install the AWS SDK for .NET as a non-administrator if you choose a different installation directory.
The AWS SDK for .NET is also available on GitHub.
NuGet is a package management system for the .NET platform. With NuGet, you can add the AWSSDK assembly and the AWS.Extensions assembly to your application without first installing the SDK.
NuGet always has the most recent versions of the AWS .NET assemblies, and also enables you to install previous
versions. NuGet is aware of dependencies between assemblies and installs required assemblies automatically.
Assemblies that are installed with NuGet are stored with your solution rather than in a central location such as
Program Files
. This enables you to install assembly versions specific to a given application without
creating compatibility issues for other applications.
For more information about NuGet, go to the NuGet documentation.
To use NuGet, install it from the Visual Studio Gallery on MSDN. If you are using Visual Studio 2010 or later, NuGet is installed automatically.
You can use NuGet either from Solution Explorer or from the Package Manager Console.
To use NuGet from Solution Explorer, right-click on your project and select Manage NuGet Packages... from the context menu.
From the Manage NuGet Packages dialog box, select Online in the
left pane. You can then search for the package that you want to install using the search box in the upper right
corner. The screenshot shows the AWS.Extensions
assembly package. Notice that NuGet is aware that
this package has a dependency on the AWSSDK
assembly package; NuGet will therefore install the
package if it is not already installed.
To use NuGet from the Package Manager Console within Visual Studio, from the View menu, select Other Windows, and click Package Manager Console.
From the console, you can install the AWS assemblies using the Install-Package
command. For example, to install the AWS SDK for .NET assembly, use
the following command line:
Install-Package AWSSDK
To install an earlier version of a package, use the -Version
option and specify the desired
package version. For example, to install version 126.96.36.199 of the AWS SDK for .NET assembly, use the following command
Install-Package AWSSDK -Version 188.8.131.52
The NuGet website provides a page for every package that is available through NuGet such as the AWSSDK and AWS.Extensions assemblies. The page for each package includes a sample command line for installing the package using the console. Each page also includes a list of the previous versions of the package that are available through NuGet.
The AWS SDK for .NET provides the following project template(s) you can use to build a new project on Amazon Web Services:
Creates a console application that references the AWS .NET library (AWSSDK.dll) with a sample Program.cs file that makes a basic request to Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), Amazon SimpleDB, and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2).
Creates a console application that references the AWS .NET library (AWSSDK.dll), but does not include any code in the Program.cs file.
Creates an ASP.NET application that references the AWS .NET library (AWSSDK.dll) with a sample Program.cs file that makes a basic request to Amazon S3, Amazon SimpleDB, and Amazon EC2.
The general process to create a new project based on a project template is similar across Visual Studio editions, but we'll go through the steps for Visual Studio 2010 Professional Edition.
To create a new project in Visual Studio 2010 Professional Edition
Launch Visual Studio.
On the File menu, select New, and then click Project. The New Project dialog box opens.
Select AWS from the list of installed templates, and then select the AWS project template you want to use. Enter a project name, and then click OK.
On project creation, the template prompts you for the security credentials that your code should use to access AWS. To use the credentials for one of the accounts that was added with the AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio, click Use existing account and select the account from the drop-down list. To add a new set of credentials, click Use a new account and enter the credentials information. Once you have specified the credentials to use, click OK.
If you do not want to specify any credentials at this time, click Skip. Note, however, that your code will not be able to access AWS without a valid set of credentials.
Running the Project
You can run the project immediately after the project is created by pressing F5 (or clicking Start Debugging on the Debug menu).
Where Do I Go from Here?
From here, you can check out the tutorials included in this developer guide.

This tutorial explains how to set up requests for Amazon EC2 Spot Instances, how to determine when they have completed, and how to clean up afterward.

Harmful cultural practices and beliefs for women
Women's Leadership Centre Namibia Press Statement
Breaking the silence around harmful cultural practices and beliefs
As women and young women of Namibia we are very proud of those aspects of our various cultures and traditions that are caring and supportive. Many a times when you are in trouble you can rely on extended family members to support you and care about you. However, there are harmful cultural practices and belief amongst our people in our various ethnic groups in Namibia that are deadly and which are putting women and young women at risk of HIV and AIDS. It is to these that we want to address ourselves today. Our cultures and traditions contain unconstitutional aspects that sustain and promote inequalities between women and men. While HIV/AIDS is wrecking havoc amongst our people it is also giving us the opportunity to address issues of inequalities and oppression that fuel the pandemic. The issues that we want to discuss today are the outcomes of three workshops on Women and HIV/AIDS in Namibia that have been organized by the Women's Leadership Centre.
Different forms of 'marriage' are dangerous and deadly for women and young women
Child marriages that put girls and young women at risk of HIV/AIDS are still rampant in some communities in Namibia. This practice must be eradicated from our society in order to protect all our children.
Arranged marriages and forced marriages for young women are also a common practice in some communities in Namibia. Young women are given away to uncles and cousins, usually men who are much older then themselves. Young women in these communities do not have a choice; parents and other clan members decide to whom they will be given into marriage. This is done in order to keep the wealth in the extended family. This harmful practice violates young women's rights to choice and freedom of association, and puts them at risk of HIV and AIDS.
Other forms of forced marriage take place when a woman is forced to marry her deceased sister's husband, or when a widow is forced to marry her brother-in-law or another relative of her deceased husband; again to keep the wealth within the extended family.
In all the above cases women and young women do not have any say in the issues surrounding their right to live, they are used and traded like objects, not treated like equal human beings. And as long as these forms of forced marriages persist, Namibian women cannot protect themselves from HIV and AIDS.
Without marriage a woman is nothing in her community
Young women and women are taught that marriage is the only way through which a female can gain status in the community. Marriage is considered to be a "safe haven" where people are supposedly faithful to each other. However, in Namibia one group of women who are severely affected by HIV and AIDS are young married women. In some cases marriage can be a death trap. We have to educate our young girls that marriage is an option, a choice and not a must, and that both as single and as married women they have sexual rights, ie the right not to be raped, the right to choose contraceptive methods and the right to demand the use of condoms by their partner or husband.
Without a child a woman is nothing in her community
Women have to prove their fertility at all costs in many communities in Namibia. Men pressurize women to have children, and women bow to the pressure in the hope that the father of their child will marry them. The pressure to have a child is so great that women who are living with HIV and who already have children become pregnant to prove that they are not ill and to prove their womanhood. We have to educate our young girls that becoming pregnant means risking HIV infection through unprotected. To have a child is an option, a choice, not a must, and adoption of children is another option. .
Sexual violations of women and girls
Incest and sexual abuse of girl children by brothers and other males in the family still continue unabated in many Namibian families. There is a culture of silence around this issue. People will often not bring out the dirty linen of the family in the open and so protect the perpetrators.
In some communities in Namibia, sexual cleansing rituals are enforced. After the death of a husband, a widow has to be cleansed by having sexual intercourse with a man chosen by the family. If she refuses she is accused of bringing bad luck to the family. It has happened that women have become pregnant and contracting HIV through this practice, which fuels the AIDS pandemic.
The practice of 'dry sex', in which women use herbs to dry out the vagina and thereby enhance the sexual pleasure of men, leads to the tearing of the wall of vagina and exposes women further to infection with HIV.
Silence and obedience enforced by culture put women at risk of HIV/AIDS
A 'good marriageable woman' is believed to be silent, obedient and shy. Our girls are raised not to challenge and demand but to obey. This is further reinforced by different religions that teach women to obey their husbands at all costs. What is a Namibian women's chance to survive the HIV/AIDS pandemic? Discussions of sex are seen as dirty and taboo and men are seen as the ones who are supposed to take the initiative in sexual matters. How can women and young women confront boys and men in such situations? Moreover, divorce is out of question for many women, who have to endure domestic violence, including the violation of becoming infected by a promiscuous husband 'until death do us part.'
Practices of worshipping men and enslaving women
In some communities women have to kneel before husbands and other males, for example when they are serving them food. We call this practice 'enforced worshipping of men and enslavement of women'. There is a need to debate the consequences of this practice and the effect that it has on women and girls in terms of their dignity, humanity and equality.
Celebration of malehood through promiscuity puts women at risk
Many Namibian cultures accept, encourage and celebrate men's promiscuity. The belief is that the more women a man has had sex with, the more popular and manly he is. To have multiple relationships is seen as a man's right. To be in a polygamous relationship is seen as a man's right. The slogan "be faithful"is thus not working for thousands of Namibian couples. We need new messages of manhood that celebrate and nurture life, not death.
Traditional healing
Some traditional healers 'treat' women and young women through having sexual intercourse with them to 'cure' infertility and back pains.
Whole families have been wiped out through the use of the same razor blade on everyone.
Some traditional healers encourage men to sleep with babies and virginal young girls to cure themselves from HIV/AIDS.
We are requesting our government to undertake comprehensive research on harmful cultural practices and beliefs in all the Namibian ethnic groups to break the silence and the condoning of these practices and beliefs. We need laws to ban these practices in order for women and girls in Namibia not only to enjoy their dignity, rights and freedoms as human beings, but as a matter of sheer survival in face of the Aids pandemic.
We call on the Ministry of Education to mainstream women's rights and gender equality into all aspects of the curriculum, and implement gender policies in schools and other institutions of learning in order to save lives of young women and girls.
We call on all the churches in Namibia to stop teachings of male worshipping in which total obedience to male power is enforced through marriage vows. We call on the churches to teach a religion of equality that will save lives.
We call on all young women and girls in Namibia to take our own lives into our own hands, to know that we are full human beings with full human dignity and rights. Our own lives and our right to live must become the first priority before anything else. To look after ourselves well we have to learn to become strong, independent and selfish.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Sept. 12, 2013) – The U.S. Women's National Volleyball Team has set its roster for the nine-team Visit Omaha NORCECA Continental Championship that will be held Sept. 16-21 at Ralston Arena.
The U.S. has selected four outside hitters, three middle blockers, two setters, two opposites and one libero to fill out its 12-player roster. Outside hitter Jordan Larson-Burbach (Hooper, Neb.), a 2012 Olympic Games silver medalist, and libero Kayla Banwarth (Dubuque, Iowa) are local favorites having played at nearby University of Nebraska. Joining Larson-Burbach at outside hitter are Kristin Hildebrand (Orem, Utah), Kim Hill (Portland, Ore.) and Cassidy Lichtman (Poway, Calif.).
Lauren Gibbemeyer (St. Paul, Minn.), Christa Harmotto (Hopewell Township, Pa.), a 2012 Olympic Games silver medalist, and Lauren Paolini (Ann Arbor, Mich.) are the middle blockers selected to the U.S. roster. Alisha Glass (Leland, Mich.) and Jenna Hagglund (West Chester, Ohio) are the U.S. setters chosen to compete in the event. Nicole Fawcett (Zanesfield, Ohio) and Kelly Murphy (Wilmington, Ill.) have been chosen as opposites on the team.
All but Larson-Burbach competed in the recently completed FIVB World Grand Prix in which the young roster finished sixth competing against the top teams in the world fielding several Olympians, including tournament champion Brazil having seven Olympians. Team USA won the Pan American Cup, which included the top teams from NORCECA and South America, with 10 of the 12 athletes on the upcoming NORCECA roster.
"Pan Am Cup and World Grand Prix were amazing learning experiences for our young group - most of our athletes had played very few significant minutes in those events until this year, and they got numerous chances to earn confidence in themselves, and from their teammates," U.S. Women's National Volleyball Team Head Coach Karch Kiraly said. "We also got some beautiful lessons how to respond to adversity with resilience, and in how much investment it takes, every play, to become great - and those lessons will serve the USA well over the next few years."
The tournament, in its 23rd edition dating back to 1969, features three round-robin pools of three teams. Matches are set for 4 p.m. CT, 6 p.m. CT and 8 p.m. CT each day.
Team USA, ranked second in the world with a 17-5 record in 2013, opens pool play versus Mexico on Sept. 16 at 8 p.m. CT, followed by rival Cuba on Sept. 18 at 8 p.m.
Quarterfinal round matches are on Sept. 19, followed by semifinals on Sept. 20. The gold- and bronze-medal matches conclude the tournament on Sept. 21. The winner of the tournament earns a spot in the season-ending FIVB Grand Champions Cup this November in Japan.
Tickets for the event can be purchased online at www.homepridetix.com, via phone at 800-440-3741 or at the Ralston Arena box office. Single day tickets start at just $20 and include all three games for that day. Championship weekend packages also are available starting at just $50 and include all Friday and Saturday games.
All matches during the NORCECA Women's Continental Championship will be streamed live and accessed through USA Volleyball's web site by clicking here.
The U.S. has won the NORCECA Championship six times (1981, 1983, 2001, 2003, 2005, 2011), including the most recent event held in 2011 at Caguas, Puerto Rico. Further, the U.S. has earned the silver medal 11 times - all with Cuba winning the gold as part of its record 13 NORCECA titles. Team USA has won the bronze medal three times and missed the podium just twice in the 22 previous editions. Mexico won the first two NORCECA Championships in 1969 and 1971, while Dominican Republic is the only other country to win the event with its title in 2009.
Team USA completed the five-week long FIVB World Grand Prix on Sept. 1, finishing sixth in the tournament with an overall record of 9-5. The U.S. ended the three weekend preliminary phase with an 8-1 record and in fourth place. Using a young roster with just one regular starter from the 2012 Olympic Games silver medal squad, Team USA produced wins over No. 3 Japan (twice), No. 6 Russia, No. 7 Serbia, No. 12 Algeria and No. 13 Poland with losses to No. 1 Brazil (twice), No. 4 Italy, No. 5 China and No. 7 Serbia. With the exception of Larson-Burbach, every player on the U.S. roster for NORCECA played in the World Grand Prix.

Diner Reviews
The Fifth Grill has really done an
incredible job with their decor and overall visual experience. The restaurant is located on the upper level of the building and you take an old heritage elevator up to the dining room. There is so much character here; the dining room is intimate and elegant. They also offer a large patio that is open year round (covered and heated for the winter months). The food was very good. My only complaint with this restaurant is that the food took a long time to arrive, about an hour and twenty five minutes. However, there was a large group that arrived ahead of us so that may have been what caused the delay."

My wife and I go to the Fifth to
mark anniversaries and birthdays. 5th's staff are fantastic and Brad, the 5th's chef, is very creative. If you're looking for a good cut of beef, this is the place to go."

My husband and I have tried
several times to eat here. (failed because of events or it wasn't open) Our first time lived up to our expectations. The service was amazing, the food was good and the ambience was lovely. Sort of loft meets shabby chic! Perfect for a relaxing, romantic night out. Would definitely recommend and go there again!"
Dined on 3/7/2014
I had selected this restaurant
more from curiosity than anything else. It seemed very large, but was curious about the whole building. when I saw on the site that the entrance was from an alley on the south side, I wondered if I had selected the right place. Upon arriving, it was an adventure. What a great spot!! Totally took my breath away when I stepped into the dining room. Not because of what I saw, but because of what I saw in the context of the rest of the building, the entrance, the downstairs . . . the whole package was a totally special treat. Everything about the the Fifth was wonderful, but especially the atmosphere. I cannot wait to go back and dine on the terrace, outdoors. I have since recommended it several times."
Dined on 3/7/2014
This place had a nice combination
of a novel venue, great drinks, great food, and great service. This was perfect for a group of people who don't want to rush through dinner and take the time to have good conversations. We took our time and sat at the bar for cocktails before taking our seat at our table for 10. The bartender knew how to make all of our cocktails and martinis. For dinner, the menu was a-la-carte, so it is not a tapas-style restaurant, but the filet mignon and the black cod seemed really popular dinner choices at our table."
Dined on 3/6/2014
We went for dinner and arrived at
our reservation time of 6:00 p.m. We were informed that "they weren't ready for us upstairs" and we were sent to a lounge to wait. It was only a 10 minute wait and then we were lead to the "freight elevator" and escorted up to the "terrace". I'm sure the room is great in the summer and perhaps even away from the plastic covered openings to the outdoors, however it was very drafty and cold as our table was right beside the "windows". The chairs weren't all the comfortable to sit on and the decor seemed like it was going for garage sale chic, which some might find charming. The service was good and they didn't interrupt our meal more than was necessary. The food was just ok so we didn't even try dessert."
Dined on 3/1/2014
What a wonderful night. Took my
Dad and from the start to the finish it was excellent. Our waiter Andre was fun, pleasant and very knowledgeable about the menu. We will be going back."
Dined on 2/22/2014
Environment was a little too
rustic for me, right from the freight elevator to the hot/cold terrace environment. Was not too fond of being seated over heating vent, felt like I was wearing an electric blanket/napkin. Steak tartar was good, flat iron steak was nicely done, Black pepper Parpadelle was very salty, sent it back, better when it came back. good service. Menu needs updating on the website. Was looking forward to the Baked Alaska but it was removed. So due to disappointment, didn't order dessert. Bring back the Baked Alaska! :)"
Dined on 2/21/2014
My wife and I ordered the sampler
platter for two. The quality of the food was ok but not for the price. The menu says you get carrots with your steak, but they were tiny and almost pointless? The quality and ambience was NOT in line with the cost. There are many places I can go in the city, pay the same amount and get a much better meal in a much nicer setting. The service was good. I will give it that."
Dined on 2/22/2014
Beautiful room. Had the set menu
done by guest executive chef with wine pairings. The food was good, but not anything I would rave about - starter of baked egg with foie gras was more like foie gras broth with a soft egg floating in it - ok but slightly off putting. Lamb main was good but was accompanied by a mousse of some sort that was fine, but also didn't quite bit the mark. The most frustrating thing wS the service - very pleasant but the wine pairings were delivered a good 10 to 15 minutes after the courses. Not worth the $140/head we spent. Too bad, Aaa the room is gorgeous. Perhaps if we had ordered off the standard menu the experience may have been better(I suspect so)."
Dined on 2/20/2014
Had to wait 10 minutes for the
freight elevator, of course it was extremely busy during valentines but the long wait times were unexceptionally long. I went with my date during valentines, and I did not receive my appetizer until 40 minutes after we were seated, another 40 for the main. For an expensive place, the service was just average, felt understaffed. Had to ask for water refills.. The empty plates weren't cleared from my table until my next meal. Its the small details that really matter, especially when you're paying close to 200 dollars for dinner. Coat check rack was over filled, at the end of the night the person told me they couldn't find my jacket because it was probably on the floor. Such a shame."

Service was soooooo bad ....food
was very salty .... too bad is a romantic place that I would like to go back."

Not just great food but an all
around outstanding dining experience. From the elevator ride to the comfortable ambience to the fantastic food and service. All good. We will definitely be returning."

Beautiful evening. Dinner was
delicious from beginning to end. Background music was perfect. Access to the club was a plus. Magician in the elevator was entertaining. 2 free drinks for the club were a bonus."
Dined on 2/14/2014
From the outstanding service, the
magic tricks in the elevator ("Is this your card?") the free coat check (maybe this is a thing everywhere? I'm pretty much a dirtbag an don't go to many nice places) and the delicious food we were totally happy with out Winterlicious experience. I had the roasted cord chowder (amazing, although the jalapeno fritter was crazy dry - even for fritter standards), the gnocchi (the best pasta, i think, I've ever had - perfectly cooked, sublimely cheesy and the sauce was buttery heaven), and for desert the apple caramel crumble, which was the only letdown (dry, and for some reason they didn't give me a knife to cut it so I struggled with it). I would definitely return for special occasions and delicious drinks."
Dined on 2/13/2014
I cannot in good conscience
recommend this restaurant as a Winterlicious choice. Unfortunately, there is very little positive that I can share about this experience. When we arrived we discovered we were being seated on the 'Terrace' which, in spite of the fact it was one of the mildest nights in weeks, was beyond drafty and downright cold. I had originally made a reservation for 5 but called 2-1/2 hours before to change to 3 - was told it was no problem. However, we were still seated at a large round table table set for 5 and they refused to move us to one of the smaller tables that sat free the entire time we were there. The Winterlicious options were bland and uninspired. Service was mediocre and slow. Disappointing all around."
Dined on 2/13/2014
Had a spectacular evening yet
again at the 5th. The staff always do such a great job of making your evening so special and the food is just great! We shared two dozen oysters which were delicious and this may seem small but no one does the horseradish for the oysters like the 5th. Always disappointed when I order oysters anywhere else. My guests had the market fish and the chicken which they both were equally impressed with. I had my standard petite filet and it was cooked to perfection. We requested a medley of desserts so we could share and the chef did a great mixture to satisfy everyone's sweet tooth. All around AMAZING!"
Dined on 2/7/2014
My date was from out of province
and was really impressed with this piece of old Toronto, the quality of the food and service and the romantic, exclusive setting. She noticed that the staff greeted me with, "Good to have you back, it's been two years", which was true! Given the competition offered through Winterlicious, I thought the $45 price was a bit dear, but I can't complain about the food presentation, quality or taste - all were top notch! I also appreciated that the staff at no point rushed us, they gave us a lot of time to chat and that was what we wanted, thanks."
Dined on 2/6/2014
I normally don't submit reviews
but had a fantastic time at The Fifth thought it deserved one.. A group of us (in our 40's) went as part of Winterlicious and we all agreed we would definitely return. What I loved about it: -The staff were awesome!!!. From the pub, dining room and bartenders in the club; everyone we met was very friendly and attentive. Very professional but really cool. -The food and options during Winterlicious. Majority restaurants give you the winterlicious menu only. The menu here included the winterlicious menu and other choices all in one menu. -Atmosphere,and attention to detail.- From providing pashmina's to those going outside to smoke and bottled water when leaving; showed how customer focused they are."
Dined on 2/8/2014
Overall excellent food, service,
atmosphere and staff. Everyone was so efficient and friendly. Sadly it was cold so I couldn't take advantage of the beautiful view up on the terrace but I will definitely come back. Very romantic place so perfect for a date night:)"
Dined on 2/7/2014
During Winterlicious service can
sometimes suffer, but we had a terrific experience at the Fifth. Spouse had the chowder & lamb shank, and me the salad & scallops -- all were excellent. For dessert we both chose the rum raisin pudding, which was more like a cake left out -- it was dry and had a cold, crusty icing on top, and a sauce too thick to penetrate the dried cake. It tasted much better after I doused my prosecco on it... Service was attentive and the overall ambiance outstanding. The other reason for subtracting one star is the way they designed the traffic at the entrance -- the facilities, the kitchen doors, the arrival elevator and the coat check were all the same small area, causing a small traffic jam. Overall, a fantastic time."
Dined on 2/7/2014
The ambiance is great, but the
food on the winterlicious menu was basic and standard although it was made to sound far more appetizing. Once the restaurant got crowded it became quite noisy...accoustics in the restaurant are not so good. Overall, this restaurant is over priced as far as quality of food. It confirmed for us that just because a place looks and feels all nice and fancy and upscale doesn't guarantee the food is great or that you 'get what you pay for'. Each of us concluded that no, we would not return there nor would be recommend it to others. :-( Disappointing indeed."
Dined on 2/1/2014
The food was amazing and served
very promptly (I imagine this is because we ordered from the winterlicious menu) and it almost felt like the server was trying to rush us out but then we couldn't get his attention to order more wine after he dropped off dessert. We would've stayed longer for more drinks and coffee but grew tired of being ignored. The elevator operator however was very kind and entertaining (he did card tricks). The highlight of the meal was lamb shank that was so tender it fell off the bone and I could barely pick it up with my fork."
Dined on 2/1/2014
We always hit this spot for
Summerlicious, winterlicious and other times ad hoc. This year I found the winterlicious menu a bit uninspired. I went twice this winterlicious and tried different items each time but still overall ....meh."
Dined on 2/1/2014
For the amount of money I paid, I
was expecting to be wowed with the food. I was quite disappointed. The restaurant itself was warm & cozy, but the meal itself wasn't what I was expecting. I had the corn chowder as an app with corn fritters that was supposedly spicy - there was no spice & only one fritter; I was expecting at least couple. The gnocchi I had as my main was not very flavorful either - I could have made it myself just as good. All I could taste was cheese; it needed more flavoring. The frozen hot chocolate which I thought would be awesome was ok. The texture was granular; very runny; I was expecting it to be thicker. Needless to say, I will not be spending that kind of money at this restaurant again - it's not worth it."
Dined on 1/31/2014
We went for winterlicious as we
have been doing for years and we were very very disappointed this year. The service was slow and horrible. The wrong entrees and apps were brought to our table. We had to beg for bread and a glass of wine. I felt like I was annoying the wait staff. We were jostled around and they lost our coats. We had to wait 29 min for our coats. I used to love this restaurant and am really disillusioned"
Dined on 1/31/2014
Food was good but not $45 good.
Our server never asked how our meals were but asked his other tables. Noise level was modest, the ambiance of the restaurant was nice. Overall it was an okay first time experience."
Dined on 1/31/2014
Great staff from the minute you
arrive, unique elevator ride to the roof complete with card tricks, fabulous bartender, relaxed but fun atmosphere, excellent food. A couple of people found the roof terrace chilly (it's January!), and the lighting was a little too low, but nothing spoiled the overall experience which was fantastic."
Dined on 1/25/2014
I keep forgetting how good the
food is at the Fifth Grill...but what a great reminder we had, here are some of the favorites we picked, the crab cake is to die for, oyster were fantastic...we had the mix grill for 2 and the Salmon was amazing (high praise for me because I usually don't like salmon), lamb cooked to perfection. but you have to have the mushrooms and truffle mashed potatoes as a side. Excellent, great job from Brad Livergant, Executive Chef there (he is so welcoming and nice, comes by the tables to say hi!, nice touch) A satisfied customer. P.S.: If you want to go dance or clubbing, I don't recommend the Social Club....go somewhere else for that."

From the elevator ride up to the
wine selection, the perfect food and decor. Loved this place to bring customers for dinner."

This was a unique experience, from
the side entrance off an alley to the entertaining elevator operator. The staff were extremely accommodating and very professional! The ambiance is spectacular! The foodies should drool over the menu. We had a ball! The place would be spectacular in the summer!! Congrats to all involved!!"
Dined on 1/18/2014
The atmosphere is wonderful,
unfortunately the food was not fit for fine dinning. We didn't get bread until our appetizers arrived, whereas other tables got it before their meal arrived. We waited for our bill for 35 minutes, both couples on either side of us arrived and left before us. t had the lamb, which was not very tender, but flavour was OK. My husband had the flatiron steak and it was certainly not the best he has had in the city. The dessert, we had the Baked Alaska, had way too much port in it, because there was so much it did not burn off nicely and instead overpowered the entire dish, in a bad way. The place is great, fun crowd and great place for a group. Just don't go if you are planning to have a great fine dinning meal."
Dined on 1/17/2014
After a lift up in a very old
freight elevator the doors opened to a lively, unique quaint room! The atmosphere was up beat and yet it was not too loud that the 4 of us dining were unable to have intimate conversation! The food was delicious and reasonably priced for such a find! There were a series of patio rooms outside that were heated-but would also be very fun in the summer when they would take off the covers! The Fifth is a little secret treasure! I will definitely be back!"

My husband and I dined there on a
whim a few weeks ago and we were just blindsided by the food - it was amazing. I've been recommending the Terrace left and right since!"

I found this restaurant on
Opentable and liked the menu and images so I booked a table for my client christmas dinner. The ambiance is fantastic. You go up to the top floor of a beautiful old loft building via a old freight elevator that's been decorated in a baroque style. It is also manned with an entertaining host. the service was exceptional as was the food and willingness of the kitchen to answer food related questions. The wine list too was extensive and all encompassing. I highly recommend a visit no matter what the occasion. The best part was after dinner the elevator took us back down to a level that has dancing and a DJ, it was the perfect end to a perfect meal in beautiful surroundings."
Dined on 12/7/2013
Fifth Grill & Terrace was a
fabulous discovery. It's in an old building where the historic character was kept, truly enhancing the romantic aspect of this restaurant. It's beautiful inside - you take an old style elevator up, with an attendant, and the doors open to the dining room, where you are met by the attentive and friendly hostess (where you can check your coat). You are then led into the charming and romantic dining room - rustic, classy, with a fireplace and spacious so you are not dining on top of each other. The servers are wonderful, the food is fantastic and the wine list is great. This is a wonderful place for dates, dinner with your sweetie, small groups, or special occasions. Dress up, treat yourself and someone you love!"
Dined on 11/8/2013
In a word.."OUTSTANDING"! Classy,
comfortable, very enjoyable place with great food and service."
Dined on 9/27/2013
We chose the Fifth Grill and
Terrace for our anniversary dinner on recommendation from a friend. The food was excellent. We had never dined here previously and were very impressed with the food. We requested a table by the window on the Terrace, figuring it would be a nice, romantic view and they complied with our request. It would have been nice to know in advance that a group function was also booked on theTerrace (Service). We may have asked to relocate. The group function was loud and took away from the Romantic aspect of our experience (ambience). Having said that, the Terrace is a great place for a group function."

I was looking for a place for my
wife and I to meet friends for dinner, and was running out of time - it was late Friday and I needed something for Saturday. I wanted something special, as it was a special occasion for us. Open Table to the rescue! Everything was excellent, and had a very cool vibe: from the special alleyway entry to the old freight elevator that took us to the rooftop enclosed patio; from the tasty amuse-bouche to the beautifully prepared mains; from the opening cocktail to the final port and cheese on the separate private deck area --- every detail was perfect. We will be back...and we'll bring others!"

Human lung
It has been suggested that Development of human lung be merged into this article. (Discuss) Proposed since March 2014. |
It has been suggested that Lingula of left lung be merged into this article. (Discuss) Proposed since September 2013. |
Lungs | |
Detailed diagram of the lungs | |
Latin | pulmo |
Gray's | subject #240 1093-1096 |
System | Respiratory system |
MeSH | Lung |
The human lungs are the organs of respiration in humans. Humans have two lungs, a right lung and a left lung. The right lung consists of three lobes while the left lung is slightly smaller consisting of only two lobes (the left lung has a "cardiac notch" allowing space for the heart within the chest).[1] Together, the lungs contain approximately 2,400 kilometres (1,500 mi) of airways and 300 to 500 million alveoli, having a total surface area of about 70 square metres (750 sq ft) to 100 square metres (1076.39 sq ft) (8,4 x 8,4 m) in adults — roughly the same area as one side of a tennis court.[2] Furthermore, if all of the capillaries that surround the alveoli were unwound and laid end to end, they would extend for about 992 kilometres (616 mi). The lungs together weigh approximately 2.3 kilograms (5.1 lb), with the right lung weighing more than the left.
The pleural cavity is the potential space between the two serous membranes, (pleurae) of the lungs; the parietal pleura, lining the inner wall of the thoracic cage, and the visceral pleura, lining the organs themselves–the lungs. The respiratory system includes the conducting zone, which consists of all parts of the airway that conducts air into the lungs.
The parenchyma of the lung, only relates to the functional alveolar tissue, but the term is often used to refer to all lung tissue, including the respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts, terminal bronchioles, and all connecting tissues.[3]
The lungs are located within the thoracic cavity, on either side of the heart and close to the backbone. They are enclosed and protected by the ribcage. The left lung has a lateral indentation which is shaped to accommodate the position of the heart. The right lobe is a little shorter than the left lung and this is to accommodate the positioning of the liver. Both lungs have broad bases enabling them to rest on the diaphragm without causing displacement.
Right lung[edit]
The right lung is divided into three lobes (as opposed to two lobes on the left), superior, middle, and inferior, by two interlobular fissures:
The right lung has a higher volume, total capacity and weight, than that of the left lung. Although it is 5cm shorter due to the diaphragm rising higher on the right side to accommodate the liver, it is broader than the left lung due to the cardiac notch of the left lung.
- Fissures
- The lower, oblique fissure, separates the inferior from the middle and superior lobes, and is closely aligned with the fissure in the left lung. Its direction is, however, more vertical, and it cuts the lower border about 7.5 cm. behind its anterior extremity.
- The upper horizontal fissure, separates the superior from the middle lobe. It begins in the lower fissure near the posterior border of the lung, and, running horizontally forward, cuts the anterior border on a level with the sternal end of the fourth costal cartilage; on the mediastinal surface it may be traced backward to the hilum.
- Lobes
The middle lobe is the smallest lobe of the right lung. It is wedge-shaped, and includes the part of the anterior border, and the anterior part of the base of the lung. The superior and inferior lobes are similar to those of the left lung (which lacks a middle lobe.)
- Impressions
On the mediastinal surface, immediately above the hilum, is an arched furrow which accommodates the azygos vein; while running superiorly, and then arching laterally some little distance below the apex, is a wide groove for the superior vena cava and right innominate vein; behind this, and proximal to the apex, is a furrow for the innominate artery.
Behind the hilum and the attachment of the pulmonary ligament is a vertical groove for the esophagus; this groove becomes less distinct below, owing to the inclination of the lower part of the esophagus to the left of the middle line.
In front and to the right of the lower part of the esophageal groove is a deep concavity for the extrapericardiac portion of the thoracic part of the inferior vena cava.
Left lung[edit]
The left lung is divided into two lobes, an upper and a lower, by the oblique fissure, which extends from the costal to the mediastinal surface of the lung both above and below the hilum. There is also an area of the upper lobe of the lung, specific to the left lung called the lingula, meaning little tongue and is often referred to as the tongue in the lung.
- Surfaces
As seen on the surface, this fissure begins on the mediastinal surface of the lung at the upper and posterior part of the hilum, and runs backward and upward to the posterior border, which it crosses at a point about 6 cm. below the apex.
It then extends downward and forward over the costal surface, and reaches the lower border a little behind its anterior extremity, and its further course can be followed upward and backward across the mediastinal surface as far as the lower part of the hilum.
- Impressions
On the mediastinal surface, immediately above the hilum, is a well-marked curved furrow produced by the aortic arch, and running upward from this toward the apex is a groove accommodating the left subclavian artery; a slight impression in front of the latter and close to the margin of the lung lodges the left innominate vein.
Behind the hilum and pulmonary ligament is a vertical furrow produced by the descending aorta, and in front of this, near the base of the lung, the lower part of the esophagus causes a shallow impression.
The respiratory system's alveoli are the sites of gas exchange with blood.
- The sympathetic nervous system via noradrenaline acting on the beta receptors causes bronchodilation.
- The parasympathetic nervous system via acetylcholine, which acts on the M-3 muscarinic receptors, maintains the resting tone of the bronchiolar smooth muscle. This action is related, although considered distinct from bronchoconstriction.
- Many other non-autonomic nervous and biochemical stimuli, including carbon dioxide and oxygen, are also involved in the regulation process.
Respiratory system[edit]
The trachea divides at a junction–the carina of trachea, to give a right bronchus and a left bronchus, and this is usually at the level of the fifth thoracic vertebra. The conducting zone contains the trachea, the bronchi, the bronchioles, and the terminal bronchioles.
The respiratory system contains the respiratory bronchioles, the alveolar ducts, and the alveoli.
The conducting zone and the respiratory components, except the alveoli, are made up of airways with gas exchange only taking place in the alveoli of the respiratory system. The conducting zone is reinforced with cartilage in order to hold open the airways. Air is warmed to 37 °C (99 °F), humidified and cleansed by the conduction zone; particles from the air being removed by the cilia which are located on the walls of all the passageways. The lungs are surrounded and protected by the rib cage.
Modification of substances[edit]
The lungs convert angiotensin I to angiotensin II. In addition, they remove several blood-borne substances, such as a few types of prostaglandins, leukotrienes, serotonin and bradykinin.[4]
In 2010, researchers found bitter taste receptors in lung tissue, which cause airways to relax when a bitter substance is encountered. They believe this mechanism is evolutionarily adaptive because it helps clear lung infections, but could also be exploited to treat asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.[5]

The Pakistani government and police forces have been criticized before for their part in Bhutto's assassination. In April, the independent UN commission formed to investigate the assassination issued a report [JURIST report] holding the Pakistani government and police forces responsible for failing to provide adequate security. The report also accused the government of failing to launch a proper investigation into the assassination. The three-member commission was formed [JURIST report] in June 2009. Members included former Chilean Ambassador to the UN Heraldo Munoz, former attorney general of Indonesia Marzuki Darusman, and Peter Fitzgerald, a former deputy police commissioner in the Irish National Police who has served with the UN in other capacities. Bhutto was killed in a suicide attack in December 2007 that claimed the lives of at least 20 other people. At that time, Bhutto was the head of the opposition Pakistan People's Party, which was challenging then-prime minister Pervez Musharraf's Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) [party websites] in the lead-up to parliamentary elections.
Bring to justice those responsible for the gross abuses, both in connection with election-related violence, and the killings of more than 150 opposition supporters and rapes of 100 women by security forces in September 2009; ... Establish a truth-telling mechanism to uncover the roots of ethnic violence, investigate the historical persecution of particular ethnic groups, explore the dynamics that gave rise to and sustained cycles of successive authoritarian and abusive regimes, and make recommendations to ensure better governance and prevent a repetition of past violations; ... and Ensure that those responsible for inciting and carrying out violence are investigated and held accountable, including members of both political parties.
After the first presidential election in June, no candidate received enough votes to claim a majority [JURIST report], and a runoff was held between former prime minister Cellou Dalein Diallo and Conde. The election came at the conclusion of 18 months of governance by a military junta, which took power in a 2008 coup. The coup followed the death of Lansana Conte [BBC profile], who had ruled the West African country since 1984. In May, the International Criminal Court (ICC) sent a delegation from the Office of the Prosecutor (OTP) [official websites] to Guinea to further investigate the killing [JURIST report] of more than 150 pro-democracy protesters in Conakry [BBC backgrounder] in September 2009. The protesters had rallied against Guinean military leader Moussa Dadis Camara [BBC profile], who announced in October that he intended to push elections forward three months and stand for election, breaking a promise not to run made shortly after he took power. An assassination attempt on Camara two months later eventually drove him into exile.
WikiLeaks is a website which purports to be a not-for-profit media organization that anonymously publishes leaked classified government documents. It has recently come under controversy due to a string of leaked documents. The US Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Department of Defense (DOD) [official websites] said last week they were conducting criminal investigations [JURIST report] into WikiLeaks over its release of confidential government communications. Last month, Google urged the international community to ensure the free flow of online information [white paper text; JURIST report] by establishing new rules to protect against limitations on the Internet. In September, the State Council Information Office of the People's Republic of China [official website, in Chinese] released a position paper [JURIST report] claiming that it has heightened Internet freedoms and describing how the Internet has become a tool for the Chinese government to promote transparency and consult the public before developing certain policies. While the government said freedom of speech is protected on the Internet, it also attached value to the Internet's role in supervision. In July, a Chinese government official said that Google had agreed to follow Chinese censorship laws [JURIST report] to gain a license renewal that would still prevent users from accessing sites that threatened national security, while not requiring Google to censor its China or Hong Kong based websites. This agreement was reached [JURIST report] in June after a dispute concerning Google's practice of redirecting mainland users to the Hong Kong-based website as a means of working around censorship laws. China responded by reiterating its commitment to open Internet [JURIST report], but stressing that international Internet companies must follow Chinese law. In February, the government announced new regulations [JURIST report] further restricting Internet use by requiring Chinese citizens to submit identity cards and meet with regulars before registering a website, prompting many to register sites overseas to avoid regulation.

I loved this movie. It touched me.
I watched this movie the other night and absolutely loved it. Meg Ryan was perfect as the mother across the way who befriends Carter and teaches him there is more to life than the emptyness that he had brought with him from LA. Olympia Dukakis was delightful as the grandmother. But the real dream of this movie was Adam Brody. He was perfectly cast and he was amazing in this movie. I never
I was astounted by the majority of reviews by people who loved this movie. Personally, thought it was slow, often boring, and rather shallow. Felt that the director flirted with some important subjects but did not explore them in depth. Must have missed the "tremendous acting." Did find the main character, Carter, somewhat appealing. Olympia Dukakis' role was the best, poignantly sad.
I liked it, but it was boring until it got half way through.I do recomend it to anyone who likes heartwarming chickflicks.I give it 3 stars out of 5.
This movie sucked it was boring and me and my friends wasted $34.50 on it! I DON'T recommend it!

Why Promote these Standards?
These standards provide an easy reference to ensure consistency for the OBU Brand in a variety of venues including print, website, bookstore merchandise, sports apparel, on campus signage, displays, advertisements. There is a strong visual identity in the Raley Chapel. It is representative of OBU's commitment to Christian faith, it is a familiar mark in the Shawnee sky, seen from a distance, and it has served as the flagship building since its dedication in the early 1960s. The university communications staff considered a couple of reasons when updating the Bison used to represent athletics. There was a need to find an agreeable standardization of the Bison, and a perception that a more contemporary bison would serve the campus well.
Importance of the OBU Brand
All OBU communications should comply with these graphic standards. Using the core elements will give all OBU print, advertising, and communications a unified image. This is important because it creates, familiarity, recognition, clarity, brand loyalty.
To allow for flexibility in its use, several variants of the new university logo are available for the university as a whole and for athletics in particular.
The Official Logo
The official logos are represented with the Raley Chapel spire and "Oklahoma Baptist University" below and centered. All letterhead, stationery, fax cover sheets, notepads, envelopes, mailing labels, and business cards, invitations, other formal settings, web, and in return mailing information, must carry the spire and "Oklahoma Baptist University." Either orientation may be used depending on spacing.
Secondary Logos
Secondary logos to the official logo, are recommended only when the space for the logo is too small for the official logos to be readable.
Official Athletic Logos
The Bison for athletics and "OBU" is used for stationary and business cards, on courts and other signage, and used on polo shirts. It may carry the athletic team name under the "OBU" in the Athletic font, all uppercase. (For more formal apparel, the Bison for athletics can be used with the "OBU" from the university logo.)
Similar considerations are made in using the athletics brand as applied to the official logo. There are four options:
1. OBU alone or with Bison. For uniforms and may also be used for athletic apparel/equipment.
2. "BISON" represented alone or with the Bison for athletics. The suggested use of this is for all home uniforms. This may also be used on athletic apparel and other equipment.3. The Bison for athletics represented alone. The suggested use of this is for uniform sleeves and perhaps sweats and other apparels.
Athletic Logo Exceptions
1. The traditional baseball jersey is one exception.2. The other is using "Oklahoma" and "Baptist" separated by a jersey number for basketball. (These cannot be used in other apparel
purchases outside what is used by team members.)
The University Logos Precautions
These apply to the official logo, variants to the official logo, and the athletic logo.
1. Do not incorporate in any pattern or on top of a larger image except with prior collaboration with Public Relations.2. Never paint, sketch, sculpt, or otherwise render or interpret any version or element of the logos.
3. Do not use any other font except those fonts designated for the Descriptives, that is, Universe font, upper and lower case. The Athletic font, upper case, may be used for athletics.
The University Seal
The OBU seal is used to authenticate the highest official university documents (diplomas, legal documentation) and will continue to be used this way. It may be used in other material only at the discretion of the president. The seal can be presented in black or reversed out on a dark background. The entire seal must be used and when using with the official "OBU" mark it must be centered.
The Use of Colors
The official colors of OBU are green (356) and gold (129).Other colors may be used in designing an OBU publication.Using the Logo on Stationery
University stationery includes letterheads, envelopes, business cards, mailing labels, notepads, fax cover sheets. Each creates an impression about OBU. For the university the official logo (the spire circle with "OBU") is used. For athletics, the Bison for athletics with "OBU" is used. If you request samples of any of the above stationary items, please contact Public Relations.
We highly encourage the use of two typefaces for use in OBU materials. Although not obligatory, these typefaces will, over time, help unify our presentations of OBU. The typefaces are available on most PCs as standard fonts. Please contact Public Relations for alternate fonts in the rare case that the ones below are not on your system.
Palatino (Berkeley for Mac users)A serif font for use primarily in body copy. Universe (Optima for Mac users)A san serif font for use primarily in body copy. AthleticA san serif font that is reserved for athletics and used sparingly. ImpactMainly reserved for OBU advertising titles. VerdanaFor use on the web.

The park is under new management. They are very friendly people, and very helpful. We had a problem with one of the jacks and immediately 2 men helped us and fixed the problem. We were there in a weekend and it was very quiet. The grassy area are still uneven but the management told us they are going to fix that this winter. They also are going to make more RV sites.

Direct Financial Support
ASAT believes that individuals with autism have the right to effective treatments which are scientifically demonstrated to make meaningful, positive change in their lives. It can be challenging for families to find accurate information about the efficacy of various interventions for autism, and for that reason, central to ASAT's mission, is the goal of disseminating accurate information about autism treatments. ASAT works toward a time when all families will be empowered to identify and choose the most effective, scientifically-validated interventions for their child, and all providers can be guided by science when selecting and implementing their interventions.
Because of the generosity of people like you, ASAT is able to provide information and resources to thousands of individuals per year through our website and newsletter. With your financial support, we can make a greater difference in the lives and futures of people with autism. Given the overwhelming position that families and providers are in when making treatment decisions, we have so much work to do — and we can only do it with the help of giving people like you.
ASAT depends on public and private support to help us fulfill our mission. In contrast to most other autism organizations, ASAT has no paid staff and relatively small overhead expenses. Therefore, your donations go directly to supporting our important work.

Becoming a Professional Sponsor
There are many professional organizations and businesses who, along with ASAT, are concerned about the plethora of treatments that lack scientific support - and the burden this then places on families and service providers who are struggling to make decisions about treatment.
We are proud to share that 42 professional organizations participated in our sponsorship initiative in 2011. Please see our current list of Professional Sponsors here. These professional organizations have indicated their support for ASAT and its mission to disseminate accurate, scientifically-sound information about autism and treatments for autism, and to improve access to effective, science-based treatments for all people with autism, regardless of age, severity of condition, income or place of residence.
Professional sponsorships not only provide financial support used specifically for our dissemination efforts, but also send a clear message that ASAT's vision is shared by others within the professional community. The funds provided by the ASAT sponsors will help support a number of directed efforts undertaken by ASAT this year (e.g., distribution of Science in Autism Treatment, a journalist/media education program, and public awareness of our newsletter and website).
ASAT's current Professional Sponsors have indicated their support of the following tenets:
- All treatments for individuals with autism should be guided by the best available scientific information.
- Service providers have a responsibility to rely on science-based treatments.
- Service providers should take steps necessary to help consumers differentiate between scientifically-validated treatments and treatments that lack validation.
- Consumers should be informed that any treatment lacking scientific support should be pursued with great caution, if at all.
- Objective data should be used when making clinical decisions.
There are several levels of sponsorship for 2012, as follows:
- Partner $5000
- Champion $2,000
- Benefactor $1,000
- Alliance $500
- Patron $200
Professional Sponsors will receive:

Becoming a Community Sponsor
In 2010, we broadened our sponsorships initiative to include the support of members of the business community and other community-based organizations. Please see our current list of Community Sponsors here.
ASAT's Community Sponsors should support of the following:
- Science is the most objective, time-tested and reliable approach to discerning between safe, effective autism treatments, and those that are harmful or ineffective.
- All treatments for individuals with autism should be guided by the best available scientific information.
The tasks of educating the public about scientifically validated intervention and countering pseudoscience are daunting ones; and ASAT appreciates the support of our Community Sponsors.

Plastic Bags
Plastic bags are not biodegradable and are a major hazard to wildlife and the oceans you can recycle plastic bags at most grocery stores but the recycling process itself creates a lot of greenhouse gases. A much better alternative is to not use them at all! When you purchase just a couple items, think about asking the clerk to not give you a bag. Ask yourself if you really need a bag to carry a few items a few feet to your car? Reusable cloth bags are available all over the place, they hold more items per bag, are stronger and are easier to carry. Keep the bags in your car at all times and place them near your front door when you are done unloading to help remind you to put them back.
