On World Autism Day: Ten Percent of Autistic Children May Outgrow It
April 2, 2012
by Kate Goodin
Today, World Autism Day (April is Autism Awareness Month), couldn't be a better time to learn about a new study that concluded 10 percent of children with low-functioning forms of autism may someday outgrow it by adolescence.
The study, published in the journal Pediatrics, looked at 7,000 autistic children in California from the age of their diagnosis until they turned 14. Ten percent of the children who were, at their diagnosis, ranked with a low-functioning form of autism grew into a high-functioning level of autism. Sixty-three percent of the children studied also had no intellectual disabilities.
There's still a lot to learn about autism, though. According to the CDC, autism affects one in 88 children, so you probably know a child with autism. On World Autism Day, educate yourself with these resources:

I bought these pillows bot in Square and Rectangle Plus another set just like it in alternating colors. They are great, with stand the outside weather, no fading, etc. There are fairly priced and as long as they hold up well worth it!
These are so cute on my neutral outdoor furniture . I bought 4 of these and 4 of the square blue pillows and they make my patio so cute!
These pillows are a great design, very versatile and just fit the small of your back. I would like them in a larger size, but this was the only choice for size. Great pillow for the price.
The pillow fit exactly where I needed them outside on a bench. I will definitely keep ordering from Overstock in the future.
Great pillows for a great price. They look great as an accent on my patio loveseat.
Cute pillows but unless they have significantly reduced them ... they are nothing special. Better deals out there.
I love these pillows even more in person that I did online! They are great quality and the color is bright. Great outdoor pillows!

Elite US Army units stop taking anti-malarial drug
The top doctor for elite U.S. Army commandos has told troops to immediately stop taking mefloquine, an anti-malaria drug found to cause permanent brain damage in rare cases.
Epidemiology is the study of health-event, health-characteristic, or health-determinant patterns in a population. It is the cornerstone method of public health research, and helps inform policy decisions and evidence-based medicine by identifying risk factors for disease and targets for preventive medicine. Epidemiologists are involved in the design of studies, collection and statistical analysis of data, and interpretation and dissemination of results (including peer review and occasional systematic review). Major areas of epidemiological work include outbreak investigation, disease surveillance and screening (medicine), biomonitoring, and comparisons of treatment effects such as in clinical trials. Epidemiologists rely on a number of other scientific disciplines such as biology (to better understand disease processes), biostatistics (to make efficient use of the data and draw appropriate conclusions), and exposure assessment and social science disciplines (to better understand proximate and distal risk factors, and their measurement).

Mitchell Sivley turned the ignition key to demonstrate a piece of new mowing equipment at the Bear Trace at Harrison Bay.
There was no noise coming from the mower.
Sivley, the assistant superintendent, looked down to make sure he turned on the riding machine. He confirmed what he knew.
Only the birds above and some chatter among the guests in attendance for the unveiling could be heard.
"It's on," he said. "I promise."
He flipped a lever with his right hand and the mower began humming with its blades turning at a decibel level that allowed guests from the Tennessee Valley Authority, the Tennessee Golf Association and the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation to continue their conversations without interruption or raising their voices.
The Bear Trace at Harrison Bay is the first American public golf course to begin using an entire fleet of all-electric mowers to care for its greens, teeing grounds and other closely mowed areas.
The unveiling of the new machines Tuesday continued a trend of the Bear Trace leading the local area, the Southeast and the country in efforts to be environmentally responsible.
"For years, the golf course industry had been labeled as a polluter," course superintendent Paul Carter said. "Having the ability to use this equipment is going to make a world of difference. It's going to make a difference for us as a crew, for the golfers who play here and for the wildlife."
The fleet of Jacobsen electric mowers came with an up-front price tag of $414,000 to the state but without one cent coming from taxpayer dollars, according to TDEP commissioner Bob Martineau.
"This was penalty money," Martineau said. "The TVA paid $26 million to the state as part of a settlement of a lawsuit and the money is to be used on projects that reduce emissions."
The drastic reduction in use of gas-powered vehicles, mowers, chainsaws, hedge-trimmers and weed-whackers -- by using electric or battery-operated equipment -- is already showing on the bottom line of running the golf course in the state park.
"We stopped using gasoline-powered mowers on March 3, and in the first 60 days we cut out 317 gallons of gasoline that we used last year," Carter said. "And our electricity bill went up a whopping $47.
"And this is just in the spring."
Golf courses across the country -- more specifically, the superintendents who care for them -- likely will watch and follow the trend set by Carter and his staff.
Starting an environmental trend at Bear Trace is nothing new. The course and Carter have been lauded in various golf and enviromental publications -- and by the USGA -- for attracting a nest of bald eagles beside the 10th green.
They're being leaders once again.
"It's exciting far beyond the reach of the Bear Trace property," said Greg Lyman, director of environmental programs for the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America. "This offers a template. The move to electric power, in some sense, has been the Holy Grail of maintenance equipment."
Electric cars scoot around downtown Chattanooga. Now electric mowers shave the greens at Bear Trace. And the equipment company, Jacobsen, has a series of mowers that allows the Bear Trace eagles to sleep in a bit.
"I think this is a glimpse into the future, and it's exciting far beyond the Bear Trace property," Lyman said. "This is a course that is nestled within a state park system. They're doing extraordinary work.
"Golfers now can look down at the mowing equipment and then look up on No. 10 to check on the eagles."

Feds open inquiry into Volt battery safety
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration on Friday opened a formal investigation into the safety of the battery packs in the Chevy Volt following a series of collision tests.
In three tests since May, the NHTSA has found that damage to the Volt's battery resulted in a fire after a side collision and a rotation of 180 degrees, a test meant to simulate impact with a pole or tree followed by a rollover. In each case, the line which carries coolant to the batteries was ruptured.
In the initial test, battery temperatures rose following the simulated crash and rollover, … Read more

Infatuation of the day: Life aboard a historic Ellis Island ferry
From photographer Navid Baraty:
Recently I had the opportunity to photograph Victoria and Richard MacKenzie-Childs' home aboard the historic 1907 Yankee Ferry, afloat in the New York City Harbor. They've not only restored the Yankee and kept it afloat for posterity, but they also use the ship as a beautiful studio and show space for their work as decorative artists.

I can't look away.
Created by The Goggles (Paul Shoebridge and Michael Simons) and produced by the National Film Board of Canada, this "interactive documentary," as they call it, is pitch perfect.
Pine Point started off as a book but quickly morphed into something that could only exist online: a scrapbook (of sorts) that uses films, old photos, and audio recordings to tell the true story of a small Canadian town that simply disappeared one day. (via VSL)
Poignant, nostalgic, historical, entertaining and interactive in a completely intuitive way, could Pine Point be the future of the book? Best consumed when you've got 20+ minutes to spare.
This piece is stunning. Like it brought tears to my eyes stunning.
Heather Knight and her colleagues at Syyn Labs got their big break when they masterminded the Rube Goldberg device for OK Go's music video, This Too Shall Pass. We asked Heather and her crew to create a Rube Goldberg to kick off PopTech 2010. And with bated breath, we watched the apparatus come to life – with a little help from some friends.

Body Found Near Antigo
By Ken Krall
The person was found on a trail north of Highway 64 near a bicycle. So far, Langlade County authorities haven't released any information other than to confirm a body was found on private property near Western Road and Hazel Road just west of Antigo, so we don't know if the cause of death was related to the bicycle or something completely different. Dispatchers say Sheriff William Greening plans to release more information Friday morning.

PBGC's FY2013 Annual Report, released Friday, provides a detailed summary of our year — both successes and areas for improvement.
The 125-page review of the agency covers the period beginning Oct. 1, 2012 and ending Sept. 30, 2013. PBGC's deficit increased to about $36 billion in FY2013, up from about $34 billion last year.
Opening with messages from PBGC Board Chair, Secretary of Labor, Thomas E. Perez and PBGC Director Josh Gotbaum, the report examines ways to improve the agency's financial health and highlights our great scores in customer service.
Retirees receiving benefits continue to rate PBGC as one of the best in government for its commitment to customer service. The agency ranks in the top 3 percent in a survey measuring 154 categories of customer responsiveness. Retirees gave PBGC a score of 90 on the American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI), more than 20 points above the government average. A score of 80 or higher is considered excellent, whether for a government agency or a private business.
Aside from our distinguished customer service, the report also discusses three overarching goals:
Since you're a Retirement Matters subscriber, you've been kept abreast of PBGC news as it happens. This report can give you further insight on the year in review at PBGC.
See the full FY2013 Annual Report (PDF).
Beginning in 2014, the maximum yearly guarantee for a 65-year-old retiree will be almost $59,320 – a 3.2% increase from the $57,500 rate in 2013.
Most retirees who get their pension from PBGC – almost 85 percent according to a 2006 study – receive the full amount of their promised benefit. In some cases, retirees can receive more than the PBGC maximum guarantee.
The PBGC maximum guarantee is based on a formula prescribed by federal law. Yearly amounts are higher for people older than age 65 and lower for those who retire earlier or choose survivor benefits.
If a pension plan ends in 2014, but a retiree does not begin collecting benefits until a future year, the 2014 rates still apply. For plans that terminate as a result of bankruptcy, the maximum yearly rates are guided by the limits in effect on the day the bankruptcy started, not the day the plan ended.
The increase is not retroactive and applies only to single-employer pension plans. The maximum guarantee limit for participants in multiemployer plans is $12,870 with 30 years of service, which has been in place since 2001.
For more information, see PBGC's Maximum Monthly Guarantee Tables or a previous blog post "Making Sense of the Maximum Insurance Benefit."

If you get your health care coverage through the Internal Revenue Service's HCTC Program, you should know that the program is in the process of returning to regular operations. For more information, please call the HCTC Customer Contact Center at 1-855-379-0440.
About 11,000 PBGC benefit recipients participate in the Health Care Tax Credit Program, administered by the Internal Revenue Service. If you get your health care through HCTC, please read the following important message from the IRS:
"10/10/13 - Due to the federal government shutdown, the HCTC Program is currently closed and unable to issue payments to Health Plan Administrators on behalf of Monthly HCTC Participants. Although invoices were mailed to Monthly HCTC Participants in October, a timely payment to Health Plan Administrators cannot be guaranteed at this time. Any payment made to the HCTC Program during the shutdown will be processed upon receipt. For anyone who has already paid, or plans to pay, the HCTC Program in October, a payment will be issued to your health plan as soon as the government reopens and the HCTC Program becomes operable. To prevent a lapse in your health coverage, the HCTC Program suggests that you make a 100% payment directly to your health plan administrator in October and then claim the yearly HCTC for that payment when you file your 2013 federal income tax return. We understand the financial hardship facing our HCTC Participants and apologize that we cannot provide greater support at this time."
Please note that PBGC has no further information about the status of HCTC.
Academy President-Elect Tom Terry, PBGC Director Josh Gotbaum, Academy President Cecil BykerkSource: American Academy of Actuaries
PBGC Director Josh Gotbaum addressed the American Academy of Actuaries board last week. He applauded the academy's discussion paper, "Risky Business: Living Longer Without Income for Life," and encouraged the group to continue its lifetime income initiative. Gotbaum also discussed PBGC's efforts promoting sound retirement systems, and provided several ideas for how Congress, the public, and employers could each do their part to make sufficient lifetime income a reality.
In August, an analysis by the academy supported the methods used by PBGC to calculate the agency's financial position. "The Pension Committee of the American Academy of Actuaries believes the methods and assumptions used by the PBGC produce a reasonable representation of the PBGC's current obligation and deficit," the group said.
Editor's note: Portions of this blog post were reprinted from This Week with permission from the American Academy of Actuaries.
Should the government shutdown, PBGC will stay open for business. All of us at PBGC—federal employees and contractors—will remain on the job. We will continue to pay benefits to the retirees who depend on us, to do our other work, and to honor our obligations.
This is not new. PBGC stayed open throughout the government shutdowns in 1995-96. That's because PBGC is different from most government agencies: Our funds are paid for by insurance premiums and plan assets, not taxpayer dollars.
As always, PBGC regards it as especially important to continue to do our work well, diligently, and with the dedication America's workers and retirees deserve.
For more than 100 years, every Labor Day, America has celebrated working people's contributions. Labor Day is observed and celebrated in different ways all across the country by people in every walk of life. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country.
And after our working lives, we can continue to contribute to the country's strength and prosperity through secure retirements. When retirees can rely on their own secure retirement income, the economy wins, and that means workers win too.
PBGC wishes every American a safe and happy Labor Day. We reaffirm our commitment to protecting the more than 40 million American workers in private pension plans, to paying benefits for a million and a half people whose companies could not, and to fighting for American retirement security as part of every worker's American dream.

New to PS3, how do you connect a headset?
"Temptation is an illusion. But the time for trickery is past. In this game, we show ourselves as we really are." |
Go almost all the way left on your XMB to "Settings," then "Accessory Settings," and you should see "Add New Device" or something like that. Then just put your headset into pairing mode and the PS3 should find it.
Keep in mind, though, that the only headset that will sync mid-game is the official Sony PS3 Bluetooth headset. Any other headset must be paired before entering a game session. don't call. | go phils. | psn:houshamazilla. % RB2 Endless Setlist (expert drums): FINISHED!! % |
For example, if I'm playing COD on campaign and get a multiplayer invite, I can just pair the headset without exiting the game. Convenience factor is big for me in that regard, haha. |
Kyle: Dude! I almost thought those Afghani kids talked you into not liking America.
Stan: No, dude. America may have some problems, but it's our home. Our team. And if you don't wanna root for your team, then you should get the hell out of the stadium. Kyle: Yeah. Stan: <salutes the American flag> Go America. Kyle: <salutes> Go America... Stan: Go Broncos Kyle: Yeah go Broncos. Cartman: Yeah... |
You guys are crazy. Just pair your BT with the PS3 and when you turn the PS3 on then turn your BT on and it'll link up. I have a Plantronics that I've been using w/o issue for a while. Now, I for some reason can't get my jawbone to sync with my PS3 but no biggie as it's mainly a device for the car anyways.

"The Butcher" hopes to make mincemeat out of his 28-year-old opponent but that wont be easy. Ibrahim, who will be making his pro debut, trains with the world-renowned Abu Dhabi Combat Club.
The second bout features Steve "The Hooligan" Steinbeiss (7-0), a 25-year-old Englishman now fighting out of Arizona, and Jeff "Big Deisel" Ford (7-2) of Colorado.

Hes trained with MMA luminaries such as Pat Miletich and Frank Shamrock, and has appeared on VH1s Celebrity Fit Club as a fitness trainer.

Conservation and Restoration of Objects
Wood - Mobile and Immobile Objects of Cultural Value, Historic Musical Instruments
Venue | S21, 22, 23
The subject of study Conservation and Restoration of Objects - Wood focuses essentially on three areas: movable cultural property, immovable cultural property and historic musical instruments. This broad spectrum can encompass constructional elements, all kinds of furniture and furnishings, and wooden keyboard and wind instruments. Many technical constructions, models and folkloric and ethnological objects also fall within this field of work.
Materials developed for the treatment of wooden surfaces range from stains and simple paint coatings with every imaginable binder and pigment, fine varnishes and polishes to elaborate polychromy, metallic applications and modern coating systems.
Furthermore, combinations with other materials such as metals, gems, glass, tortoiseshell, mother of pearl, ivory, bone and horn may occur. Interaction between the various manufacturing techniques, construction-related problems and the typical characteristics and susceptibilities of these materials necessarily result in complex forms of defect and damage.
The survey, examination and analysis of damage must take all of these factors into consideration; besides the artistic, historic and cultural dimension, fundamental premises, such as function and use, also determine decision making on methodology and the restoration concept. Development and realisation of the latter demands nothing less of the student than the training of appropriate manual skills and the acquisition of specific conservation techniques.
Interdisciplinary work and, above all, holistic appreciation and comprehension are therefore particularly promoted in this specialisation.

National Research Council
The National Academy of Sciences is a private,
nonprofit, self-perpetuating society of distinguished scholars
engaged in scientific and engineering research, dedicated to the
furtherance of science and technology and to their use for the
general welfare. Upon the authority of the charter granted to it by
the Congress in 1863, the Academy has a mandate that requires it to
advise the federal government on scientific and technical matters.
Dr. Bruce M.Alberts is president of the National Academy of
The National Academy of Engineering was
established in 1964, under the charter of the National Academy of
Sciences, as a parallel organization of outstanding engineers. It
is autonomous in its administration and in the selection of its
members, sharing with the National Academy of Sciences the
responsibility for advising the federal government. The National
Academy of Engineering also sponsors engineering programs aimed at
meeting national needs, encourages education and research, and
recognizes the superior achievements of engineers. Dr. Wm. A. Wulf
is president of the National Academy of Engineering.
The Institute of Medicine was established in 1970
by the National Academy of Sciences to secure the services of
eminent members of appropriate professions in the examination of
policy matters pertaining to the health of the public. The
Institute acts under the responsibility given to the National
Academy of Sciences by its congressional charter to be an adviser
to the federal government and, upon its own initiative, to identify
issues of medical care, research, and education. Dr. Kenneth
I.Shine is president of the Institute of Medicine.
The National Research Council was organized by the
National Academy of Sciences in 1916 to associate the broad
community of science and technology with the Academy's purposes
of furthering knowledge and advising the federal government.
Functioning in accordance with general policies determined by the
Academy, the Council has become the principal operating agency of
both the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of
Engineering in providing services to the government, the public,
and the scientific and engineering communities. The Council is
administered jointly by both Academies and the Institute of
Medicine. Dr. Bruce M.Alberts and Dr. Wm. A.Wulf are chairman and
vice chairman, respectively, of the National Research Council.

In October 2000 the Department of Energy (DOE), the Russian
Ministry of Atomic Energy (Minatom), and the National Research
Council (NRC) agreed that a workshop on the successes and
difficulties of small innovative firms in several of the atomic
cities of Russia would be helpful in identifying business
approaches and Russian governmental policies that should be
encouraged through joint programs of the U.S. and Russian
governments and through the efforts of Western nongovernmental
organizations. The Nuclear Cities Initiative of DOE awarded a
contract to the NRC to assume responsibility for organizing the
workshop. Having previously conducted projects in Russia on
commercialization of technology, the NRC was in a good position to
design a workshop that would be relevant to the needs of both the
Russian and the U.S. governments. Minatom selected the Institute
for Physics and Power Engineering (IPPE) in Obninsk as the Russian
counterpart to work with the NRC in organizing the workshop and to
serve as the host for the workshop. IPPE has had extensive
experience in organizing international conferences on topics
related to technology commercialization.
A workshop was held in Obninsk in September 2001. Twenty Russian
specialists from five nuclear cities and Moscow, seven American
specialists, and representatives of DOE and the technical
assistance program of the European Union (Tacis) made
presentations. An additional 20 Russian specialists attended the
workshop and made useful comments on the presentations. The
presentations addressed many aspects of the establishment and
management of small innovative firms in Russia, including a
Page viii
number of specific examples of the activities of small firms, as well
as lessons learned in establishing commercially viable firms in the
United States. While there are great differences in the business
environments, in the training and experience of entrepreneurs, in the
communication and physical infrastructures, and in the availability of
financial resources in the two countries, some principles concerning
management, marketing, and general business strategies are relevant in
both countries. This report includes the presentations made at the
workshop, with many of them reflecting general principles that enhance
the likelihood of profitability of firms in both countries.
Prior to the workshop the American participants visited three small
firms in Obninsk and several state research institutes that have had
experience in encouraging the establishment of firms based in part on
technical capabilities developed within the institutes. These visits
helped orient the American specialists to the realities of doing
business in Russia and highlighted various approaches that have been
At the end of the first day of the workshop, the participants received
the news of the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington.
Since the American participants would be unable to return to the
United States for several days, they collectively proposed continuing
the workshop and completing the planned program. Our Russian hosts
agreed with this approach. So, despite the uncertainties concerning
events in the United States, the workshop was completed as scheduled.
I would like to express my appreciation to the other members of the
NRC committee who assisted in the preparations for the workshop and
reviewed these proceedings. We are indebted to the Russian organizers
of the workshop, particularly Alexander Sorokin and Valery Balanda,
who assembled an excellent group of Russian participants and made all
the arrangements for a successful workshop. Also, we commend William
Desmond of DOE, who had the foresight to support this workshop and who
assisted in navigating the bureaucratic hazards in Washington and
Moscow that constantly threatened to result in its cancellation.
The Americans attending the workshop were deeply grateful to their
Russian friends for the outpouring of sympathy and support they
expressed to us regarding the terrible tragedy that befell the United
States during our visit. None of us will ever forget what we were
doing and whom we were with in Obninsk, Russia, on September 11, 2001.
These proceedings have been reviewed in draft form by individuals
chosen for their technical expertise, in accordance with procedures
approved by the NRC's Report Review Committee. The purpose of
Page ix
independent review is to provide candid and critical comments that
will assist the institution in making its published proceedings as
sound as possible and to ensure that the proceedings meet
institutional standards for quality. The review comments and draft
manuscript remain confidential. In addition to the members of the NRC
Committee, I wish to thank Blaine Gibson, Siberia Pacific Company, for
his review of selected papers in this proceedings.
We wish to thank Kelly Robbins for her translation of the Russian
language papers into English. Special thanks also to Jan Dee Summers,

Let's face it---San Diego is a great place to have dogs. There are so many official dog parks to take your pups and let them run around. Dogs who get regular exercise are better 'dog citizens' than a dog who is inactive all day. You will notice less destruction around your house and yard is your dog is content and worked out...just like people!
One of my favorite place to take Spike and Lucy is in Ocean Beach. The locals call it Garbage and South Garbage. You can find it by driving through Ocean Beach on Sunset Cliffs all the way to the end. You will be hugging the ocean after you pass the shops and gas stations. The view is fabulous. By the time we are getting close, Lucy has figured out that we are going to one of her favorite places.
If you are familiar with the Nazarene College in OB, you know where Garbage and South Garbage are. In fact, There is an abandoned baseball field you can run your dogs on after you walk a nice little path to find it. It is amazing in it the view of the Pacific. Spike loves it too!
If you are having the need for an ocean fix and your dogs want to check out lots of new smells, I encourage you to find Garbage or South Garbage.
The parking is tricky...only because the pavement is full of cracks and pot holes, but the surfers do not seem to mind and your dogs certainly will not since it is gate way to doggy fun!
Stay tuned for more fun places to take your pooches. I am off to run Lucy and Spike in other fabulous San Diego spots.


text: From "The Last Land" A black season periled past into its own voice As she straightened herself up and said: "Takes me deeply, of fungus lover mine, Seeking me savagely by my last call! Do not have mercy of me!" But Spring said, "Do you know who I am?" The wind replied, "A self-tortured liaison Where the hunting of the day has begun with buffalos' flesh behind the coldest sun!" Oh blissful dream! Let me not awake Among these hungry wavers! "Ce nest pas assez--guel dommage-- Mais je vous en prie," the Virgin said Laying on the bed, bleeding, laughing From the host moment of her last glorification. Should I have any particular conduct? With these three bodies, Absolutely perfect feeling the pain And the fat horn around their neck? Oh, alas so viel Freuden! While in an unfolded sky as your plenty momentum That reflects the unborn child, The numberless seeds as they started gaining themselves Through a richness vision and lustful smile, The explosion that my frenzied blood Made you behold it. And there, I am as the spring, Among the powerful wind; I give you The maximum doses to be mine, oh Virgin, The ladder imagination of my circus That's the beginning of a LFE beyond the land of dead.

OK- I know that there are several other things to do that weekend, but I'm still F-ing with my steering. Provided I can get it together in time, I'm planning on heading up to the dunes for yet another shake-down run. (and 1 last oppertunity to hit 80 MPH off the pavement)
This Saturday the 30th. Anyway, there are a handfull SLSDF guys (and gals) headed up there as well, so feel free to head up and join us for 1 last dune ride before they lock the gates this year. After all this wind, it should be all moon-scaped up there and very challenging. |

Cysts are noncancerous (benign) sacs that contain water-like fluid. They vary in size and as they accumulate more fluid can grow extremely large. Normally, a kidney weighs less than one-third of a pound (approximately three-quarters of a kilogram), while a kidney containing numerous cysts can weigh as much as 20 to 30 pounds (9.1 to 13.6 kilograms).
Abnormal genes cause polycystic kidney disease, and the genetic defects mean the disease runs in families. Rarely, a genetic mutation can be the cause of polycystic kidney disease. There are two types of polycystic kidney disease, caused by different genetic flaws:
Researchers have identified two genes associated with ADPKD and one associated with ARPKD.
In some cases, a person with ADPKD has no known family history of the disease. However, it's possible that someone in the affected person's family actually did have the disease, but didn't show signs or symptoms before dying of other causes. In a smaller percentage of cases where no family history is present, ADPKD results from a spontaneous gene mutation.

[JURIST] The Moscow Prosecutor General's Office [official website, in Russian] filed a motion Monday to ban the US animated series South Park [entertainment website], alleging it violates children's rights under international law. In a press release [text, in Russian], the office said it was taking "measures to remove violations and prevent abuse of freedom of mass media" by Telekanal 2x2 [media website, in Russian], which broadcasts South Park and other US shows in Moscow and St. Petersburg. According to the press release, a study commissioned by prosecutors found that "information products of low moral and ethical content have had a devastating impact on children, distorts their values, and poses the risk of panic states and neurotic disorders." The press release continued:
The broadcast violates the prohibition on abuse of freedom of mass media, in particular, on the distribution of media materials that promote pornography, violence and cruelty. Broadcasting cartoons in the time available for children contradicts the universally recognized principles and norms of international law aimed at protecting the rights and legitimate interests of children, protecting them from information and material harmful to their welfare, health, and moral and spiritual development.
[JURIST] Attorneys representing the Georgian Republic appeared before the International Court of Justice (ICJ) [official website; JURIST news archive] Monday seeking emergency orders to stop the alleged killing and mass displacement of citizens in the breakaway regions of South Ossetia and Abkhazia [JURIST news archive]. Georgia argued in opening statements that Russia [JURIST news archives] is engaged in ethnic cleansing, while Russia countered that its military actions have saved lives. The 15-judge court will consider whether it has jurisdiction over the case, which Georgia instituted [JURIST report; ICJ press release, PDF] last month, and whether emergency measures are warranted. Georgia accuses Russia of violating the 1965 Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination [text] by removing ethnic Georgians from the territories. The former Soviet republic is seeking an ICJ order that Russia pay compensation, withdraw its troops and allow displaced ethnic Georgians to return home. The ICJ hearings [press release, PDF] continue through Wednesday. AFP has more. AP has additional coverage.Russia last month instituted its own action [JURIST report] against Georgia in the International Criminal Court (ICC), alleging that Georgia committed war crimes against ethnic Russians in South Ossetia. ICC chief prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo is reviewing those allegations [JURIST report]. Russia drew international criticism [JURIST report] last month after recognizing the rebel territories' independence, which Western leaders said violated international law. International human rights groups warned of potential war crimes [JURIST report] after Russia sent troops into South Ossetia on August 9 in response to a Georgian military offensive aimed at restoring constitutional order. Violence has been ongoing in the region since it seceded from Georgia in a 1991-92 war.
[JURIST] French politicians are criticizing a court's decision to postpone a Muslim suspect's trial on armed-robbery charges during the holy month of Ramadan [Beliefnet.com backgrounder], arguing that it violates France's constitutional separation of church and state. The Court of Assizes at Ille-et-Vilaine on Friday rescheduled the trial "in the interest of a proper administration of justice" after a defense attorney requested the delay because his client would not be fully capable of defending himself after having fasted for 14 days. The attorney general of the Court of Appeal [official website, in French] at Rennes, where the trial is to take place, said the court's decision was based on several factors and added that the judiciary would not "stop judging people of Muslim faith who follow the Ramadan." In an interview [text, in French] with the newspaper Liberation, Urban Affairs Minister Fadela Amara [Time profile], a Muslim herself, called the postponement a "knife wound" to secularism. Right-wing leader Jean-Marie le Pen [JURIST news archive; BBC profile] also denounced the decision. The trial is now scheduled for January 19. BBC News has more. Le Monde has local coverage, in French.Article I of the French Constitution [text, in French] "ensures equality before the law for all citizens without regard to origin, race or religion." Since 2004, France [JURIST news archive] has banned religious clothing and symbols in public schools [JURIST report] as a measure to protect separation of church and state. Muslim women have opposed the law as discriminatory because it prohibits them from wearing headscarves. A German court upheld a similar ban in March, and the Danish government announced plans [JURIST reports] in May to prohibit judges from wearing religious headscarves. In Turkey, the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) last month dropped its opposition to a prohibition on wearing headscarves at public universities after the Turkish Constitutional Court struck down a constitutional amendment [JURIST reports] seeking to relax the ban.
[JURIST] US blogger and attorney Gopalan Nair [personal blog; law firm profile] appeared in the Singaporean Supreme Court [official website] Monday and pleaded not guilty to insulting a public servant. Nair is on trial for accusing a judge of "prostituting herself" [blog entry] in a defamation case brought by former Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew [official profile] against the Singapore Democratic Party. Under a provision of the Singaporean Penal Code [text], insulting a public servant conducting a judicial proceeding is punishable by up to one year in prison, a $5,000 fine or both. After Nair entered his plea, the trial was adjourned until later this week. AFP has more. Nair faces another trial on a charge of insulting a second judge. He is also appealing his conviction [Straits Times report] last week on charges of disorderly conduct and using abusive words toward police officers. Before becoming a US citizen, Nair was a Singaporean opposition politician, having run for office in 1991 as a member of the Workers' Party [party website]. In July, a report by the International Bar Association's Human Rights Institute (IBAHRI) concluded [JURIST report] that Singapore [JURIST news archive] lacks an independent judiciary and fails to meet international standards of human rights by heavily regulating international and domestic press and enforcing extreme defamation laws. Singapore's Ministry of Law responded that the group was biased in its assessment and that the country had already responded to such concerns.
[JURIST] A French judge on Monday ordered the Spiritual Association of the Church of Scientology (ASES - Celebrity Centre) [church website, in French] to appear before the Paris Magistrates Court [official website, in French] to face criminal charges. ASES has been unsuccessfully prosecuted in French courts before, and it along with an affiliated bookstore and seven church members must now defend against charges of organized fraud and the illegal practice of pharmacy. Prosecutors had asked the judge to drop the case, which originated in 1998 with a complaint from a woman who had spent about 200,000 francs ($42,600 US) on classes, books, medication and an electrometer [church backgrounder] after Scientologists stopped her on a Paris street and offered her a free personality test. Another individual and a French pharmacists' association later became involved in the case. AFP has more. Le Monde has local coverage, in French.In 2002, a French court ordered the Church of Scientology [church website; JURIST news archive] to pay a fine [AP report] for failing to protect members' personal information, but acquitted the organization of attempted fraud and false advertising. The court refused to dissolve the Paris branch of the church, as prosecutors had requested [BBC report], but France's judicial system has not yet recognized Scientology as a religion. That trial followed a report released by a French government committee in 2000 recommending that Scientology be banned [BBC report] as a "totalitarian" sect that disrupts public order. Scientology, founded by American science fiction author L. Ron Hubbard in 1954, has come under increasing scrutiny in other European countries as well. Last year, the German interior minister suggested a ban on Scientology [JURIST report] as "an organization that is not compatible with the constitution." Also last year, a Belgian prosecutor who completed a 10-year investigation of the church's activities said Scientology should be classified as a criminal organization [JURIST report].

Hi all
I am a late 20s surfer, having surfed most of my teenage/adult life. I am intermediate/advanced. Occassionally I can surf quite ok, especially on my forehand and when the waves have a bit of push (which is rare for where i live)
One thing has really dogged me however. I never seem to be able to get into waves early on a short board. Often I'll find myself paddling for a wave on the inside next to someone and they'll be up on their feet much before me. I remember this would happen all the time when my mates and i would surf together and they'd steal all my waves! And i have always ridden boards that are suitable for my height/weight etc!
The other day i was surfing some junk waves and was amazed as to how early some people were getting onto waves - they were riding regular shortboards as well.
I find that when i get onto waves, i rarely get onto them with any momentum that will allow me to beat the first section. Currently riding a 6-0 Lost v2 rocket (20.25 wide and 2.5 thick) I weigh 80 kgs (180 pounds) and i am 6'0 tall - board paddles really well when paddling out etc.
The board maybe just seems a little too chunky to get onto small waves (even though the added volume should really help me catch lots of waves). Sometimes I ride a foamie when it's small and i get heaps of waves on it - and more importanly i take off with a bit of speed.
any tips for paddling so that i can get onto waves early. i am pretty fit and can surf for long periods but just can't get onto waves early most of the time.
any help would be greatly appreciated

Recipe by Susan
"This one is topped with a unique brown sugar meringue!"
Watch video tips and tricks
1 (9 inch) pie crust, baked
4 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 1/8 cups white sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 1/2 cups sour cream
3 egg yolks, beaten
1 1/2 cups raisins
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3 egg whites
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
6 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
My family loved this recipe! I did make one small change, which was rather than 3/4 t of nutmeg, I used 1/4 t nutmeg and 1/2 t cinammon. I will definitely use this receipe over and over again.
I must disagree with other reviewers who said this wasn't too sweet. It's quite sweet and rich. Too many raisins, too. Maybe 1 cup would be enough. Not the sour cream raisin pie recipe I'm seeking...
54 Ratings
I made this pie yesterday for my father in law. I have never made nor tried SCR Pie before so I was going in it blind. I followed the recipe to the tea. I was a little disappointed that my meringue "shrunk". But I was going to leave the taste up to dad. (who I should say that has LOVED SCR pie since he was very very little, and his mom's was his FAV!!! Anyway, lets just say that my SCR Pie (this recipe) was just as good IF NOT BETTER then the one that his sister makes (who she was taught by my in laws mom!!!) WOW that was a wonderful compliment!!! So all in all I was very very happy that he loved this recipe and I am glad I went with it!!!
Wow! Best raisin cream pie ever. The custard is rich and creamy, but not overly sweet, and the delicate brown sugar meringue looks beautiful. My guests loved it and even my son, who said he didn't like sour cream raisin pie, came back for seconds.
My 99 year-old Grandma requested this pie as she remembers it from her days working for the Soo Line railroad in the 1920's. The rest of the family was suspicious because the combination of ingredients seemed so unfamiliar. Everyone was very pleasantly surprised by the wonderful, complex flavor. Very easy to make, the pie had the consistency of other cream pies e.g. Banana Cream, Coconut Cream. I had thought of leaving off the meringue, but that would have been a mistake-the brown sugar added a warm flavor note to offset the tang. My modifications: I reduced sugar to 3/4C(just because) and raisins to 3/4C.
The filling on this pie sets up beautifully so A+ there. Also, meringue seemed like a weird topping for this pie but I decided to try it and it actually really balances out the tartness of the pie. Plus, since it's a brown sugar meringue it smells absolutely divine! I'm giving this recipe 4 stars since I knew beforehand that the nutmeg called for would likely overpower the pie. I reduced the nutmeg to 1/4 tsp. and added 1/4 tsp. each of ground cloves and cinnamon. Perfect!
I make a pie for my dad once a month and he requested a raisin cream pie. I used this recipe and he LOVED it! He said it reminded him of the same kind of pie his mom made (and she was an awesome cook). The best thing was that even though it was a little time consuming, it was easy, inexpensive, and did not require hard-to-find ingredients.
This recipie was very good. There was not a scrap left by the end of the night. For spices, I used 1tsp of cinnamon, 1/2 tsp of nutmeg, and a 1/4 tsp of cloves. I didn't have any cream of tarter for the merigune and it still turned out fine.

An exhibition of photographs by five photographers who traveled with Doctors Without Borders in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Viewing Hours: Tuesday -- Saturday, 11 AM - 5 PM
Opening Reception

on left side of the page, click on DRC: Forgotten War, in lower left corner click on Preview the Exhibit
An exhibition by five world-renowned photographers from the VII Photo Agency who traveled to the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) from May through August of 2005 with the international humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) in order to shed light on the suffering of the Congolese people as they struggle to survive a war that remains virtually invisible to the outside world. Their work is presented in Democratic Republic of the Congo: Forgotten War.
More than a decade of war and the collapse of the public health system in the Congo have resulted in widespread and acute misery. Many Congolese face extreme deprivation and violence, with brutal militia attacks and sexual violence common. Severe malnutrition and epidemics of diseases like malaria, HIV/AIDS, and cholera take an even greater toll with little treatment possible. The complex and diverse nature of the violence and neglect challenges any notion of simple, blanket solutions to address even the immediate causes of so much death and suffering.
Thursday, April 6 from 6 to 9 pm - a free benefit reception for Doctors Without Borders and VII photographers will be held. A brief talk on the Congo by Ron Haviv and Kris Torgeson from Doctors Without Borders will occur at 7pm. All of the exhibiting photographers will be present at the opening. Books will also be available for purchase, and donations to Doctors Without Borders are encouraged. The exhibition will tour throughout the United States, Africa, Asia, Australia, and Europe.
April 7 through April 9, 2006 - The photojournalists of the VII Photo Agency will host a seminar at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California. This three-day seminar will feature practical breakout sessions covering topics like creative innovation, personal projects, assignments, book publishing and fine art.

Description: Lewis Black called KATHLEEN MADIGAN "The funniest woman in America." One of the most respected comedians of her generation, over her 25 year career Madigan has performed on nearly every standup television show ever made: Leno, Letterman, Conan, Ferguson and more. Featuring CHUCK MARTIN and a suprise guest
Kathleen Madigan: In her 22 year career, Kathleen Madigan has never been hotter. With her new Showtime special, "Gone Madigan," in constant rotation and the DVD-CD of the special topping the Amazon and iTunes charts,Madigan has the entire year booked with over 100 theater gigs across the country and numerous television appearances. She's recently back from her second Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff's USO Holiday Tour of Iraq and Afghanistan. This year Madigan shared the stage with Robin Williams, Lewis Black, Lance Armstrong, Kix Brooks and Admiral Mike Mullen who hosted the tour. After the ten day tour, she returned home to tape appearances on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," "The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson," "The Green Room with Paul Provenza" and "The Joy Behar Show in New" York. She's had countless appearances on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," "The Late Show with David Letterman," "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" and every other late night show that has come and gone. She's had her own hour specials on HBO and Comedy Central. In addition to the stand-up appearances, Madigan has been a correspondent for "The Dr. Phil Show," ESPN 2 and done commentary on VH1, CNN, E! , CMT and TV Guide's Emmy Red Carpet. She's performed not only in the US, but in Canada, China, Ireland and England. Madigan has won the American Comedy Award for "Best Female Comedian" and the Phyllis Diller Award for "Best Female Comedian." Although she's has turned down many writing jobs because she loves performing more, Madigan has written and produced for Lewis Black's "Root of All Evil" on Comedy Central and for Garry Shandling. "I'll write for other people--not many-- but a few and only if they have a clear voice and persona that I already think is funny and if they let me write in my pajamas and smoke." She remains the only comedian in the history of NBC's "Last Comic Standing" to go unchallenged by any other comedian--meaning no other comedian would say they were funnier than her. Madigan was a finalist in season 2 of "Last Comic Standing" and a judge on season 5. "It was fun to judge it once, but never again. I just can't think of 2000 ways to tell someone they're not funny without turning into a full blown alcoholic." She's a favorite on nationally syndicated radio shows such as "The Bob and Tom Show" and "The Stephanie Miller Show." She's also a constant on SIRIUS-XM Radio and last year beat out all the guys-- including Larry the Cable Guy, Ron White and Jeff Foxworthy-- to win the listener determined "SIRIUS Challenge Cup," deeming her the number one favorite comedian played on SIRIUS radio. Madigan has released four CDs and two hour long DVDs. Born in St. Louis, she now lives in Los Angeles but spends, as she puts it, "inordinate amounts of time," with her 6 siblings and parents who live in the Midwest where she hangs out on her farm and on a raft in a lake. After 22 years of 300 nights on the road, her goal remains to move to Ireland and drink Guinness while feeding her sheep herding dogs. Kathleen Madigan is one of the most popular headliners in the country. An American Comedy Award winner for Best Female Stand-Up, her accessible and unpretentious style has earned her a devoted and growing following. Count Lewis Black among them - he called her "the funniest woman in America." Unlike any other female comedian working today, Kathleen resonates with a broad base of fans from coast to coast. She packs theaters from Nevada to North Carolina and everywhere in between. Her standup specials on HBO and Comedy Central have earned rave reviews and her latest CD/DVD "In Other Words" was one of the most downloaded comedy albums of 2006. She is a regular guest on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, The Late Show with David Letterman, VH1, E!, and CNN. She is a mainstay on Comedy Central where she recently debuted a new one-hour special and appeared on The World Stands Up, USO Comedy Tour, The World Comedy Tour, and Comedy Central Presents as well as Lewis Black's "Root of All Evil." Kathleen recently served as a talent scout on NBC's Last Comic Standing and is the host of her own weekly show on Sirius Radio Networks, The Kathleen Madigan Show. She is the only 5'2" Mid-Missouri Hoop Shoot Champion in recorded history.
Chuck Martin: Chuck Martin is an Emmy winning writer, producer and director, but considers himself a standup comedian first. As a veteran standup comedian, Chuck has made numerous appearances on the "Tonight Show with Jay Leno," along with many other appearances on Showtime, MTV, and Comedy Central. Martin has also toured with legendary comedians Howie Mandel and George Wallace, and he can currently be seen on tour with Jerry Seinfeld. As a writer and producer, Chuck won an Emmy for his work on the critically acclaimed FOX series "Arrested Development" and was nominated for two more. Other award nominations include "Television Producer of the Year" from the PGA and two nominations from the Writer's Guild for "Best Comedy Series." Chuck's other television writing credits include "Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher," "The Ellen Show," "53rd Annual Emmy Awards," and the "74th (and 77th) Annual Academy Awards." Chuck's other television work includes co-writing and directing the FOX pilot "Sincerely, Ted L Nancy," which is based on the best-selling book series "Letters from a Nut." He also directed a pilot for Comedy Central titled "Playlist," as well as the second season finale of "Arrested Development." In film, Martin currently has two feature films in development, one for Universal and the other for Paramount for which he is also attached as director. He additionally had a voiceover role in the DreamWorks animated feature "Bee Movie" and was also a writer on the project. Most recently, Chuck has been writing and producing NBC's "The Marriage Ref" and working on his standup act in Los Angeles and New York.

How do the couch and chaise or the sectional couch pieces stay together? Are they connected somehow or will the pieces separate from each other if moved?Asked on 8/8/2013 by Dimitri from New York1 answer
The sectional pieces are connected by interlocking steel plates underneath each seam. In order to separate them, you must lift one out of the other. They will not accidentally disconnect with the movement of the sectional caused by regular use.Answered on 8/8/2013 by Design Associate from Room & Board
