It could be that Neil Patrick Harris, star of stage and screen (both small and large), is the perfect everything.
Wonderful actor, great dancer, terrific singer – and yes, the perfect guy to sell your product, as long as you don't mind tongue-in-cheek.
Humor, that is. Not his in yours. That would be different. Not that there's anything wrong with that...

Last update 11:56:33 AM
As the deadline for Iran talks is looming, Mr. Mohammad Mohaddessin, Chairman of the NCRI's Foreign Affairs Committee, in a short interview with ncr-iran.org, described the regime's new tactics in trying to extend the negotiations without taking any serious steps to dismantle its nuclear weaponry program.
Due to the importance of this interview please find below a text of the complete Q&A.
NCRI – The Iranian regime henchmen lashed four men for "mischief" on Saturday in public in a southern city.
The commander of the State Security Forces (police) in the city of Charam was quoted by a local website as saying: "The four individuals were each sentenced to 74 lashes for the destruction of public property, thievery and using drugs."
It will be impossible for the 5+1 countries and the Iranian regime to reach a comprehensive agreement over Tehran's nuclear issue by the Nov. 24 deadline, state-run news agency IRNA reported on Sunday.
The report quoted an unnamed member of the Iranian regime's negotiating team as saying: "Considering the short time left until the deadline and number of issues that needed to be discussed and resolved, it is impossible to reach a final and comprehensive deal by Nov. 24."
NCRI - Over two dozen Iranian Kurdish political prisoners incarcerated in a prison in the western city of Orumieh have staged a hunger strike since Thursday to protest against the transfer of non-political prisoners to their ward.
The transfer of prisoners that often include gangs affiliated to the regime, to Ward 12 of the prison is aimed at intensifying pressure and psychologically torturing the political prisoners.
NCRI - The Iranian regime's State Security Forces (police) have shut down at least 26 cafés in Tehran during the past week for "failure to comply with certain regulations" which include "improper dressing by costumers and smoking cigarettes".
The owner of one café that opened seven years ago in Tehran told a local daily: "Last Tuesday the agents came to our café and shut down our location. Although in the past we had received only notices regarding some regulations, this time they told us the premise must be shut down."
A group of Iranians held a protest near the Palais Coburg in Vienna where closed-door nuclear talks between the 5+1 countries and the Iranian regime are taking place.
The demonstrators carried a long banner reading: "No compromise on violations of human rights in Iran for the sake of nuclear talks with the mullahs."
The Iranian regime must suspend its enrichment of uranium and heavy water production, and abide by its obligations to the United Nations and treaty agreements before any nuclear deal with the West can be struck, Canadian MP Irwin Cotler has declared.
The regime must also agree to inform the international community about its past proliferation activities and co-operate fully with IAEA inspectors during the crucial talks in Vienna, Mr Cotler said.
The United States faces a 'broader array of threats from a greater variety of terrorist groups than at any point since 9/11', the nation's acting director at the National Counter-terrorism Center has warned.
Nicholas Rasmussen told Senate Select Intelligence Committee on Thursday that 13 years ago, al Qaeda was regarded as the top threat to the US, but now the danger also included 'lone wolves'," the Islamic State and terrorists sponsored by the Iranian regime.
NCRI - Critically ill political prisoner, Ali Moezzi, has been transferred to solitary confinement and his family has been told by authorities in Tehran's infamous Evin Prison that no communication is allowed with him.
Mr. Ali Moezzi, who has just a few months of his sentence remaining and is about to be released, was recently transferred from Gohardasht Prison in Karaj to Tehran's Evin Prison and where he was put under heinous pressures.
Mrs. Homa Roshanaei (Sadegh), the heroic mother of two distinguished PMOI martyrs, whose extraordinary resistance in the face of two dictatorships in Iran inspired all the families of the PMOI martyrs, passed away on Wednesday 19th of November, 2014.
Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the Iranian Resistance, offered her condolences after the loss of this courageous mother, describing her as "the true voice of the Iranian women, whose memory will never die in the hearts and minds of all those who stood up to the injustice and the repression of the dictatorships in Iran, particularly to those families of the tortured and martyred political prisoners".

A Day Later, Hybrid Graphics On Linux Does More
Published on 02 February 2010 09:14 AM EST
Written by
Michael Larabel
Linux Kernel
11 Comments
Just yesterday morning we reported on
hybrid graphics coming to Linux in a crude form
, which allowed dual-GPU notebook systems to switch between the onboard GPUs via a kernel patch but what made it crude was that it wasn't seamless switching within the running X.Org Server (it won't be this way for some time) and it didn't actually turn off the other GPU when the other one was in use. In the past 24 hours, however, David Airlie has published three new versions of this Linux kernel patch.
The second version of Airlie's "switcheroo" code as it's called brought support for powering up and powering down the GPUs. For Intel GPUs this means putting it in a D3 suspended state while for Mobility Radeon GPUs it actually cuts the power to the graphics processor so that it is completely off. The third version of switcheroo then brought reworked probing methods so that no DMI list is used but now looks for an ATPX method. The fourth (and final, for now) version of this patch delivers on compatibility with more systems. Turning on and off the unused GPU is as easy as writing "ON" or "OFF" to
The fourth version of David Airlie's switcheroo patch can be found in his
FreeDesktop.org folder
. Additionally, he has provided new comments on this work via
his blog
. Right now this code supports ATI/ATI and Intel/ATI GPU combos, but David mentions on his blog that the Nouveau driver should already be detecting the DSM method that it likely uses for the NVIDIA GPU switching, so it really shouldn't be too difficult to wire it up.

Falls sees success in iPad integration
Applications are engaging 5-year-olds in math, reading
Menomonee Falls - Visual learners in Menomonee Falls are in luck this school year.
Elementary school educators in the Menomonee Falls School District are seeing success with iPads that were integrated into all 5-year-old kindergarten classrooms for the 2012-13 year. What started as a pilot project last year at Valley View Elementary is now part of the regular K5 curriculum districtwide.
According to teachers, students are not only more engaged in visual learning, they are excited about it.
"They love it. iPads are new to me, so I felt at the beginning I had a learning curve for myself, but for 5-year-olds there is no fear," Valley View Elementary Teacher Laura Oelstrom said. "They are excited, engaged and on target and on task and really enjoying them."
She said they could test students on the same skills using a paper and pencil; however, the level of engagement would not be there.
Five iPads were given to each of the 13 sections of 5-year-old kindergarten throughout the district. The tablets are also used by reading specialists. Kindergarten teachers were trained in September and each classroom now uses a slew of applications to complement the reading, writing and math curriculum.
Tablets complement curriculum
There was more of a learning curve for teachers than there was for students; however, breaching the curve has proved worthwhile.
"It's so developmentally appropriate for them because it is so hands-on and so focused with the sound and the direction, it just fits their level," said Valley View Teacher Laura Hoff who spearheaded the pilot program last year.
Hoff led the iPad teacher training in September after testing the iPads with a small group of students who needed early intervention in their learning. She said those students who were struggling had a hard time focusing and staying motivated in class. With the iPads, the students became more focused as they view the applications as a game even though they are learning basic math, reading and writing skills.
Tablets are not replacing normal instruction in the classroom, they are used as a tool complement teaching.
"It's just another medium for kids to interact with text and writing and word work and math," said Sarah Doerr, reading recovery teacher at Valley View, who also helped train her colleagues on iPads. "It's another piece that's becoming part of their lives and we want to incorporate that along with book and authentic writing."
Tablets offer multiple benefits
Classes have a reading block in the morning and a math block in the afternoon. Teachers pick a specific skill and instruct the students on that skill. Then, they pick two applications for the students to practice it. Doerr said the iPads add a visual element to the classroom, which can be difficult to recreate using regular instruction.
"It is also organized, which helps those kids who struggle with spacially organizing things themselves, they are already spacially organized for them," she said.
Although technology integration is at the forefront for the 2012-2013 school year, student collaboration is still crucial despite the technology.
That is why each kindergarten class of 20 students are broken into five groups. Each group works with one iPad and the students have to work together and socially interact, Doerr said.
"Most applications have a way for us to set the settings and adjust it and make sure it's exactly the focus that we want for different groups," Oelstrom said. "You can see the excitement when they accomplish something and then they show their neighbor and then they work together."
The tablet technology is still in its infancy; however, Hoff is spearheading ways to utilize them further. In the next few months, she wants to begin working with eBooks on the iPads. Through Scholastic, eBooks can be downloaded and read aloud to students, while highlighting specific words.
Hoff said this way students can listen to reading while simultaneously seeing a model of the text.

Republicans Hide Attack on Overtime Pay Behind 'Flexibility' MaskSubmitted by JohnSee on Thu, 04/18/2013 - 2:01pm
Republicans in Congress have renewed their decades-old attack on the 40-hour workweek. Once again, they are pushing so-called "comp time" legislation that would allow employers to stop giving workers any extra pay for overtime work.
Ten years ago, the Republican leadership in Congress and the Bush administration tried to pass the exact same legislation, but working families said, "Longer hours for less pay? No way."
We won that fight in 2003. The "comp time" bill died in the House of Representatives, even though Republicans had a majority. Read more »

"Who Built Our Capitol?" is a project of the Labor Education Service at the University of Minnesota. For the past three years, a team assembled by LES staff member Randy Croce has been researching the workers and contractors involved in the Capitol construction from 1896-1907. Read more »
Minnesota Legislature Advancing Strong Pro-Working Family AgendaSubmitted by JohnSee on Wed, 04/10/2013 - 7:46pm
At a time when it seems nearly every state legislature is assaulting the rights of working families, Minnesota's House and Senate are bucking the trend and are likely to soon send Gov. Mark Dayton a series of strong pro-working family bills. According to Minnesota AFL-CIO Communications Director Chris Shields, this is the first time in 20 years the state government has been unified under one-party control, with the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party holding the governorship and the majority in both houses of the legislature.

coffee machine in the room, room was kept clean
Wi -fi did not work properly
There is a lovely street that seems "typically Spanish" that starts near the hostal and you can walk way down into San Fernando (including beautiful parks and the high street) via this street.
The shower and toilet room was somewhat cramped, but was clean and fine.
Very clean and comfortable, a supermarket and various shops in the near, children's playground in the near, bus stop and train station to Cadiz quasi in front of the door. There are some parking lot in front of hotel so we could leave our car there and go to Cadiz by bus and train.
free parking - not too far from Cadiz
For a trip to Cadiz this place is excellent as it is only a short distance from a bus stop and train station with easy links to Cadiz. Room was large, comfortable and well decorated. The ensuite was also of a really good size and had good facilities. Reception staff were friendly and able to help with directions etc.
we travelled to the hotel by car and its not as easy to finds as it looks as despite appearing to be just off the motorway there is no junction there. parking nearby is also not particularly easy.
Perfect position - near the central station, near the shop and fruteries, calm place - 30 min to Jerez, 15 min to Cadiz Hostel was clean and calm. Best choice for the price.
Pleasant helpful staff, good amenities including a coffee capsule machine in the room :)
The owner of the place was super friendly and helpful. Our room was quiet and very comfortable with a coffee machine also. The beds are new and soft. Good location. Could be a 4 star hotel!
Nice location, close to Cadiz
Very small and tight room Window only to the patio, without direct sunlight Poor value for money (the same price for 3-star hotel room in Cordoba or Grananda) Staff doesn't speak English at all

OK, ladies, let's say you need some, uh, landscaping done downtown. Having someone pour hot wax on your nether regions and rip the hair out doesn't sound pleasant, but the aestheticians at the European Wax Center make it so. With their white coats and cheery smiles, they chat you up nonchalantly as you lie on the table in one of the salon's immaculate but cozy, high-ceilinged back rooms. This salon uses a special kind of French wax, which hardens and doesn't require removal with messy cloth strips that are the norm in most salons. There's also no reverse discrimination here. Back and eyebrow waxing are done on dudes as well as dudettes; a gentleman even works at the counter. The center offers a variety of memberships so you can come back unlimited times. For $1,190 -- the most expensive membership -- you can come in every day and have your whole body plucked. So, go forth -- do cartwheels, perform karate kicks, and play volleyball in your G-string, confidently knowing that you're not shaggy anywhere and that no one is staring at your unibrow.

*THIS ACCOUNT IS NO LONGER POSTING* こんにちは!! 私はロリータちゃん✝❤ Greetings! I call myself Lolita ✝❤ I am a writer of horror and paranormal fiction | I'm far from perfect | My existence is a contradiction of itself | For as long as I can remember, I've been creating worlds in my head | Writing is one of the few constants in my life | I am a believer that life imitates art | I am a walking oxymoron | I can be extremely morbid, so beware | All my works are from the deepest, most perverse part of my mind—the place ALL good stories spawn from | I have an intense love for history and cemeteries that has existed since I was a girl | Music is my release, reading is my escape, writing is my gift | I'm on the dark-side | In my oppinion, nothing will ever be able to surpass the gorgeously intricate literature (or everything!) post 1960's | Talk to me if you want to learn about the REAL me, not the writer behind her words… I write to escape life; I am haunted by humans. "Crazy usually implies that a false reality is being accepted by the brain as being 'real'.

(corrected) -based Paramount Realty Services $41.7 million to purchase the Village at Cambridge Crossing shopping center, at NJ 38 near I-295, on the border of Moorestown and Mount Laurel in wealthy western Burlington County, N.J. Broker CBRE's Philadelphia and New York offices cooperated on the deal, jointly representing both sides on the sale, said the Philly office's Brad Nathanson in a statement. The Village, located close to the Wegmans-anchored Centerton Square retail center, "is 100% leased" to tenants led by LA Fitness and also inclduing AAA Car Center, Ann Talor Loft, Charming Charlie, Chico's, Ruby Tuesday, Verizon Wireless.

Medgenics, a Wayne-based firm developing gene therapies in cooperation with Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia to treat kidney anemia and other blood problems using a patient's own tissue, says it has raised at least $21 million in a public stock offering, selling 5.125 million shares at $4.10/share, with additional shares available to Piper Jaffray & Co., JMP Securities and other brokers that led the sale.
The stock, listed on the New York Stock Exchange (MDGN) since 2011, has been thinly traded. The sale price was a fraction of the $15 Medgenics reached at its 2012 peak; discounts aren't unusual for biotech shares in this market, noted Brian Piper, vice president for finance, told me. The company employs about 7 in the U.S., 33 in an Israel lab, and plans to expand its Philadelphia-area clinical development group. Medgenics's largest shareholder, Isaac Blech, is based in New York. Chairman Sol Barer is also the founder and past CEO of North Jersey-based cancer-fighting therapy maker Celgene (CELG).
The proceeds, which Medgenics expects to collect after Dec. 1, will be used to develop the company's TARGT gene therapy platform, including TARGTPRO for renal anemia and hematological conditions, TARGTGLP-2 for short-bowel syndrome, the firm's research and development collaboration with Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, and other clinical as well as corporate purposes. Medgenics is run by CEO Michael Cola and chief scientific officer Dr. Garry Neil.

DiStefanoThe latest Philadelphian to buy into the Union professional soccer team is government-finance banker David Seltzer.The Union's announcement notes Seltzer's role as founder of Mercator Advisors, as a past bond adviser to the U.S. Department of Transportation, and current chairman of the city-owned Philadelphia Gas Works (which Seltzer has portrayed as chafing under inefficient city governance, amid the drive to sell it to private investors.) It's not in the Union release, but Seltzer's longtime wife is Lisa Roberts, daughter of Comcast founder Ralph Roberts, brother of Comcast CEO Brian Roberts (the Seltzers are also copatrons of the Philadelphia Museum of Art). The Roberts family is of course deeply involved in pro sports: it's the biggest reseller of ESPN and other sports video; the company controls the NHL Flyers as well as pro sports broadcasting and venues in Philadelphia and other big cities.UPDATE: Seltzer tells me this is his investment and in no way connected to the Robertses. -- The Union also reports, not the size of the Seltzer investment, but the fact that "David and his sons Jamie and Evan have a passion for business and sports."

Two New York-based landlords -- Lloyd Goldman's BLDG Management and Jeffrey Feil's Feil Organization -- have sold the 340,000 sq. ft. One and Olney Square shopping center, anchored by a Shop-Rite and featuring Dollar Tree, Modell's, Burger King and others, to Wharton Realty Group, owned by brothers Isaac and Mark Massry of Eatontown, N.J., for $52.5 million, according to broker JLL Capital Markets.
The urban center attracted "a tremendous amount of investor interest," says JLL evp Jim Galbally, who led the team that closed the sale. He says private, institutional and REIT investors are attracted to rowhouse neighborhoods with plenty of shoppers, and has expansion "potential." (See also why Bruce Schanzer of New York's Cedar Realty Trust loves Northeast and South Philly.) JLL says it expects to move $1 billion in Philly-area real estate for all of 2014.

Robert F. Whalen took a long road home to the Main Line. The Malvern Prep and Annapolis grad served two tours as a Marine officer in Iraq, worked for developers in Texas and in the Marcellus Shale gas fracking zone, sold a property to Chesapeake Energy Corp., and used proceeds to start his own firm, RW Partners, in 2011. He moved home, got involved in local government, ended up chair of the Tredyffrin Planning Commission.
That's where Whalen learned the banks were foreclosing on the giant Blackstone hedge fund group's $10 million mortgage on the largely-vacant Chesterbrook retail center (once home to a Genuardi's, still housing a Rite-Aid, Citizens Bank, Diane's Sidewalk Cafe). "I found the bank that was selling the mortgage, I got the mortgage under control, and resigned from the planning commission that day," Whalen told me. He might have stayed on, recused himself, let other planners decide. He says he wanted to avoid any suggestion of conflict of interest.
Whalen went partners with Brian McElwee, of Valley Forge Investment Corp., which owns local hotels: Crowne Plaza (King of Prussia), Embassy Suites (Chesterbrook), Omni (Philadelphia), the Golden Inn (Avalon.) "We got the zoning changes soon after," he told me. "Because of my relationship with the township, I knew the township wanted to see the center improve from the eyesore it had been." Tredyffrin supervisors' chairman Mike Heaburg confirms he's glad to see Whalen moving on his plan.

Descartes Systems Group, a logistics software company based in Waterloo, Canada, says it paid $29.7 million last week to acquire Trevose-based AirClic Inc., which automates bar-code reading and bill-paying for industrial shippers and other clients onto hand-held phones, using the cloud-based Perform platform.
"Descartes and AirClic have several common customers" who use both systems together, said Descartes CEO Edward J. Ryan in a statement. "We believe we can meet the growing demand for integrated routing and mobile fleet management solutions" and make Airclic as profitable as Descartes, he added. No immediate comment on Descartes' plans for the Airclic office and staff.
Besides Trevose, AirClic has operations in Owings Mills, Md. and Reading, England. AirClic's CEO at the time of sale was Michael B. Lee. Cofounder was Peter B. Ritz, a onetime Ikon Office Solutions executive whose later projects include cloud-software developer Xtium and the Keystone NAP data center rising at the former U.S. Steel site in Bucks County.

Shares of Lincoln National Corp., the Radnor-based insurance and investments company that owns naming rights for the Eagles stadium, are trading above $59 for the first time in six years, and Lincoln CEO Dennis Glass and his managers are "confident of their prospects" for yearly profit growth of 8-10%, Robert Glasspiegel, analyst at Janney Capital Markets in Philadelphia, tells clients in a report today.
Glasspiegel notes some concerns (in addition to interest-rate and stock-market risk): Lincoln has cut way back on its old policy of reinsuring its life insurance, and is holding a lot more of the risk on the books, Glasspiegel notes. He points out that Swiss Re and other European insurers have said they are worried customers are living longer than expected, so they are having to pay some annuities longer than expected. He's watching to see "if this is just a European insurer problem" or whether American firms like Lincoln will have to change their assumptions, too.
Glasspiegel also says Lincoln is investing more money (6%-12% of its new investments) into high-yield junk bonds. He questions "if this is a good time to be re-risking in light of where yields, spreads and valuations are today."

"Certain broker dealers" -- the firm won't say which -- "have resumed sales of products distributed by Realty Capital Securities LLC," an affiliate of RCS Capital Corp., says the brokerage's CEO, Bill Dwyer, in this statement.
Investment News reported earlier this month that affiliates of AIG, LPL, Securities America Inc. and National Planning Holding Inc. were declining to handle some securities backed by RCS or other companies founded or controlled by Nicholas Schorsch, the Jenkintown scrap-recycling heir turned New York-based real estate mogul, after another company he chairs, American Realty Capital Partners Inc., announced it would have to restate earnings after two financial executives left the company for reporting inaccurate financial information. Dwyer said he expected the suspensions would prove "temporary."
Shares of RCS rose 35 cents in morning trading, to $11.25, but remain near their historic low. The investment finance company stock peaked at $39.50 in April.

ASHA to Stress Early Detection of Communication Disorders at AAP Meeting
Rockville, MD (PRWEB) October 07, 2014
As the nations pediatricians gather in San Diego this week for the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) annual meeting, the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) will be there to share an important message of early detection of speech, language, and hearing disorders. The message will be especially timely given a recent study in AAPs flagship journal Pediatrics, which reported a 63% increase in disability from speech disorders and a nearly 16% increase in disability from hearing disorders among U.S. children over the past decade.
The Pediatrics study, Changing Trends of Childhood Disability, 20012011, appeared online August 18, 2014. On a broad level, it showed that the percentage of children with disabilities rose 16% between 2001 and 2011. While childhood disability due to physical conditions declined, a significant increase (21%) in disabilities due to neurodevelopmental or mental health problems was reported. The authors cited a host of potential reasons for the increase, including biologic, familial, social, and cultural factors. Improved awareness, as well as the need for specific diagnoses to receive services such as early intervention, was additionally cited. Rising cases of autism, though not identifiable from the data, may also explain some of the increase in neurodevelopmental or mental health problems, they said.
Pediatricians are generally the first to discover a potential problem related to speech or hearing in a young child or to hear about concerns directly from parents, said Elizabeth McCrea, PhD, CCC-SLP, 2014 ASHA president. As we learn more and more about the compelling benefits of the earliest possible intervention for these disorders, we want to remind pediatricians that it is never too soon for speech-language pathologists and audiologists to assess a child. Indirectly but clearly, the Pediatrics study underscores the need for a continued and growing partnership between pediatricians and communication professionals to ensure the best possible outcomes for children who have these disorders.
The message of early detection is consistent with ASHAs ongoing Identify the Signs public education campaign (http://IdentifytheSigns.org), which launched in September 2013. Through public service announcements and a variety of other approaches, the campaign aims to inform parents about these disorders. The benefits of early identification are illustrated in this new infographic on the website. By visiting the website, parents can learn the early signs, find help, and share this critical information with their friends and families.
A wait and see approach, which is all too common, is simply not acceptable when it comes to communication disorders in young children, said McCrea. Parents and professionals must know that the earlier these disorders are identified, the more successful, the less expensive, and the shorter the course of treatment. We are now able to recognize disorders in younger and younger children and, through early assessment and treatment, we can often not only reverse communication disorders but also prevent them from occurring. This is transformative for a childdevelopmentally, academically, and socially. ASHAs more than 173,000 members are here to work with pediatricians, parents, and patients.

The Glenholme School Publishes a New Brochure Highlighting an Inclusive Educational Program for Students with Special Needs
Washington, Connecticut (PRWEB) October 01, 2014
The Glenholme School, a therapeutic boarding school for young people with high functioning autism spectrum disorders including Aspergers; ADHD, OCD, anxiety and various learning differences, utilizes a distinctive approach to fostering student development. The school recently published their new brochure highlighting the various offerings for students with special needs including individualized education, the arts, culinary, and equestrian programs, boarding life, and therapeutic services.
While some schools emphasize the differences between students; Glenholme focuses on an inclusive experience that students not only deserve but also thrive in. By promoting inclusion and acceptance, along with teaching the significance of independence and accountability, students of Glenholme develop the skills they need for a successful and meaningful life.
At Glenholme, students are given the opportunities to experience school just as any other student would. Students are not treated as people with special needs here; they are treated as individuals who deserve a chance to succeed, states Maryann Campbell, Executive Director of The Glenholme School. The only difference between The Glenholme School and a traditional school is the students.
Glenholme instructs students how to succeed in a world that is not always accommodating of them. After enrolling their student in Glenholme, an appreciative set of parents said, Our son was suddenly faced with a challenge that could either defeat him, or make him mature into an extraordinary human being. Glenholme provided the hope, support, and education our family desperately needed, and most importantly, it assured our son that he would be accepted for who he was, and not for what he has. Our son feels safe, accepted, and valued by his school and peer community. He has made meaningful friendships, and loves school.
Inclusion and acceptance are the essence of Glenholme. All students are encouraged to join in activities that were formerly unavailable to them in traditional schools. At Glenholme, everyone is treated equally and there are no exclusions based on differences. Through a meticulously designed program, Glenholme students are provided an inclusive and all-encompassing educational experience filled with a plethora of educational, artistic, recreational, social, and community activities.
Throughout the program, students at Glenholme are taught the skills essential for independence and are held accountable for their daily responsibilities. The competencies students master are carried with them throughout their entire lives. With a comprehensive and inclusive educational experience, graduates are prepared for a post-secondary life after Glenholme and are able to pursue various career and college opportunities.
About The Glenholme School:
The Glenholme School, a center of the Devereux organization, is a therapeutic boarding school for young people with high functioning autism spectrum disorders including Asperger's; ADHD, PDD, OCD, Tourette's, depression, anxiety, and various learning differences. The program provides a treatment milieu designed to build competence socially and academically. The learning environment at Glenholme supports and enhances the ability for young people with special needs to succeed. Devereux is a leading nonprofit behavioral health organization that supports many of the most underserved and vulnerable members of our communities.

Alston Hunt Floyd & Ing Files Class Action Suit Seeking Treatment for Autistic Children in Hawaii
Honolulu, Hawaii (PRWEB) September 22, 2014
Alston Hunt Floyd & Ing (AHFI) and the Hawaii Disability Rights Center filed a lawsuit on September 5th in U.S. District Court accusing the State of Hawai`i Department of Human Services of denying critically needed treatment for autistic children. The suit alleges that without the service, called applied behavioral analysis (ABA) treatment, children with autism are less likely to reach their full developmental capacity and are more likely to be institutionalized as adults, according to the CDC. The suit seeks an injunction to require the state to provide ABA to be in compliance with federal Medicaid rules. AHFI attorneys Paul Alston, Kristin Holland and Maile Osika represent the plaintiffs.

Autism Advocates, Steinberg Praise States First-In-The-Nation Decision to Expand Medicaid Coverage for Low-Income Kids
Sacramento, CA (PRWEB) September 12, 2014
As many as 75,000 primarily low-income California children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) will become eligible for a life-altering form of treatment through Medi-Cal starting Monday September 15th, when California becomes the first state to implement a federal directive to step up Medicaid coverage for children with autism. Up to 12,000 of these children are expected to utilize the new benefits, according to a coalition of California and national advocacy groups. They have joined with Senate President pro Tem Darrell Steinberg in praising the states move.
Through this decision we have achieved and cemented the original vision of SB-946, which is full coverage under both private and public health plans for behavioral health treatment, Steinberg said, referring to the autism insurance reform law he authored in 2011. This important milestone will ensure that all children in California, regardless of their insurance or economic status, will have access to life-changing treatments for autism spectrum disorders.
On Monday, the state Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) will issue an All-Plan Letter to Californias Medi-Cal managed care plans directing them to start covering behavioral health treatment, such as applied behavior analysis (ABA), for individuals with autism up to age 21. Medi-Cal insures more than 5 million children, approximately half of the children in California. Until now, autism treatment has not been available to low-income Californians with ASD who are Medi-Cal beneficiaries.
While 75,000 children could be eligible, experience in California and other states has shown about 1 in 6 will ultimately utilize behavioral health treatment based on medical necessity and other factors. Approximately 4,000 to 6,000 of the affected children currently receive no treatment, including children who lost these critical services last year in the Healthy Families to Medi-Cal transition. Another 6,000 to 7,000 of the affected children now receive behavioral health treatment through the Regional Centers; that will continue until a transition plan is developed for transfer into Medi-Cal plans.
This is a landmark moment for Californias autism community and positions the state as a national leader in delivering meaningful coverage to treat autism, the fastest growing developmental disability in the United States, said Dan Unumb, executive director of the Autism Speaks Legal Resource Center. Behavioral health treatment can dramatically improve the lives of many people with autism, enabling them to mainstream into our schools and society while reducing taxpayer costs for special education and longterm support services. This is a huge step in our ongoing efforts to ensure that all families across the country have access to essential healthcare.
After years of having to inform children and families on Medi-Cal who desperately needed treatment for autism that the state had no help for them, its incredible to be able to tell families we can help connect them to this life-altering treatment, right away, said Kristin Jacobson, president of Autism Deserves Equal Coverage. We commend the California Department of Health Care Services for moving quickly to ensure that all California children get the behavioral health therapy they are entitled to, thereby making a difference in the lives of thousands of vulnerable California families.
Maria Cruz of Los Angeles has a 9-year-old daughter, Shirley, who was diagnosed with autism when she was 7. Because Medi-Cal has yet to provide behavioral health treatment for autism, Shirley not only was diagnosed very late, but also has never had any treatment for her autism. She was turned down for treatment by the Regional Center and school district and has had nowhere else to turn.
I am delighted that my daughter will be able to get the treatment she so desperately needs, Cruz said. Everywhere I have gone so far the door has been shut in my face. Now our lives can get better.
In April, Maria traveled 14 hours round trip by bus from Los Angeles to Sacramento for the autism awareness rally to ask legislators to help her daughter. I asked them please to help my daughter and now they are. I am so happy!
Jazzmon Wilson from the Sacramento area has two children on the autism spectrum. Her youngest son Joshua is now getting ABA from the ALTA Regional Center. When he was 2 years old, her oldest son Timothy received the treatment from the Regional Center of the East Bay where he made great gains. But when Timothy turned 3, he was determined ineligible for further Regional Center services and his ABA was terminated.
Jazzmons insurance, Medi-Cal, did not cover ABA, so for the next three years, Timothy received no treatment. His behavior deteriorated and many of the gains he had made were lost. He has recently secured some ABA from his school district and started making progress again, but that service is ending in mid-October.
I have seen the benefits of ABA, both for Timothy and Joshua, said Wilson. I cant let what happened to Timothy happen to Joshua. I lost services once for Timothy and it took me almost three years to get them back. He cant lose them again.
Our family wouldnt survive, Wilson said. I am so relieved that I will be able to get treatment from Medi-Cal for Timothy and Joshua. I can sleep again at night.
Background: Autism spectrum disorders are a group of complex disorders of brain development characterized, in varying degrees, by difficulties in social interaction, verbal and nonverbal communication and repetitive behaviors. The prevalence of autism has skyrocketed tenfold over the past 40 years and now affects an estimated 3 million Americans. According to the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention, 1 in 68 American children have autism, including 1 in 42 boys and 1 in 189 girls.
Behavioral health treatment has been demonstrated to improve functioning of people with autism. Studies of ABA have shown nearly half of children who receive early intensive treatment can transition into mainstream classrooms with their typically developing peers. However, treatment costs can reach $ 70,000 a year, putting it out of the financial reach of most families without some insurance coverage.
California is one of 37 states requiring state-regulated health plans to cover behavioral health treatment for autism. In addition, health plans sold through Covered California, the states health insurance marketplace, are required to cover the treatment.
Many employer health plans are self-funded and regulated by federal law which does not require autism coverage. However, many California-based employers, such as Apple, Cisco, EBAY, Facebook, Google, Intel, Oracle, PG&E, Qualcomm, Yahoo! and Wells Fargo voluntarily offer the benefit. In addition, the denial of autism benefits through self-funded plans is eroding through class action litigation challenging the prohibitions as a violation of federal and state Mental Health Parity laws.
Autism insurance coverage has become a high priority for an unprecedented number of autism advocacy, childrens advocacy, legal aid, and health advocacy organizations who have worked together to advocate for coverage. The following organizations hail the states action on establishing this new autism benefit.
