Because every family deserves the blessing of a child with Down Syndrome...
Asia General Information
The orphan crisis for children with Down syndrome and other special needs crosses every political and continental border, extending through the countries of Asia. Although many reside in foster homes, they are still discarded and need a forever family of their own.
China, Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Thailand, and the Philippines all do an outstanding job of documenting each child's social history, as well as providing thorough medical history and updates for potential adoptive families. The process to adopt in these countries is very straightforward and predictable. We have outstanding agency partners serving these children. Length of travel and other requirements have been markedly relaxed over the last year, and even allow for single moms and larger families to adopt.
Despite all of these positive features, our Asian children are often the last to be chosen. Please help us raise awareness and find adoptive families for them!

Girl, born June 2002
Down syndrome
Emmaline is well behaved, lovely and cute. Sometimes when she feels injustice from other children, she would act as a spoiled child in the cuddle of a teacher. As she grows up everyday, we feel happy yet we worry about her, because she is very sensitive and is able to understand what the teachers tell her. Sometimes she could do something out of predict. She has a good friend and they are called "golden partners" just because they are always together whatsoever playing or eating. They share things well and they even do things together such as cleaning floors.
We remember that once she found one shoe on the air conditioning, and she wanted to get it down, however, she was not tall enough and she babbled telling her friend. The friend took a chair, Emmaline stepped on the chair in order to get the shoe, and finally, she made it. She really surprised us at that time. She is really amazing. She could think of using a chair to help to get the shoe to finish her goal.
Unfortunately, she seldom speaks, which is the thing that we worry about her the most. Only give her more stimulate of language skills such as doing some oral gym to help her learn simple words, could she incorporate herself into this society well.

CAMILLUS, N.Y. -- A state group home in Camillus caught fire, leaving eight people without a home. Crews were called to a home on Genesee Street in Camillus around 8:30 p.m. Wednesday.
They say the fire started in a second-floor bathroom when a vent fan caught on fire. Officials say the fire then spread through the ceiling and into the attic. Firefighters were able to put it out within four minutes. No one was injured.

GT 355mm Big Brake Kit (Performance Street, Autocross/Track)
Brake components should be installed by a competent mechanic in a professional manner. Any incorrect installation of brake components can cause a major safety problem or an accident. If you are not a competent and qualified mechanic you should not attempt to install these products, but should take the vehicle to a vehicle dealer or competent automotive mechanic for their installation.
Disc brake pads and rotors are wear items and as such, should be inspected regularly and replaced as necessary. Read More.
See caliper/rotor combinations available per vehicle specifications.
Ultra High Performance Brembo Gran Turismo Brake System packages were developed to offer race-inspired braking components that are endowed with several significant advantages over a vehicles original braking system to provide superior braking time after time. They are for drivers who want to make a statement by substantially improving the looks and performance of their vehicles braking system.
While they are available for sports cars, sporty coupes, sedans, light trucks and SUVs, in most cases the Gran Turismo Brake Systems massive aluminum calipers and large diameter brake discs require the use of aftermarket wheels with the necessary brake clearance.
The wheel fitment specialists at Tire Rack have developed a list of appropriate wheel options per vehicle based on the exact brake kit chosen. This information, designed to make your purchase of Gran Turismo Brake Systems easier and to ensure product compatibility, is available by speaking to any member of our sales team.
Brembo Gran Turismo Systems provide excellent stopping power in everyday traffic, as well as superior high performance street and track driving. They are designed to bolt onto the vehicles original suspension and are fully compatible with the vehicles stock brake master cylinder and anti-lock braking system (ABS).
While most Brembo Gran Turismo Brake System packages have been developed specifically to replace the vehicles front brakes (due to the high braking demands encountered there), rear brake systems are also offered for selected applications. For vehicles not offering a Gran Turismo System for the rear axle, Brembo Sport brake rotors (slotted or drilled) are available to replace the stock rotors on the rear axle and provide a matched appearance on all four corners of the vehicle.
Gran Turismo Brake Systems packages combine high performance fixed aluminum brake calipers, large diameter 1- or 2-piece vented brake rotors, brake pads, stainless steel braided brake lines and aircraft quality mounting brackets and hardware. (See photo and chart below.) Brake caliper and rotor sizes are selected based on the vehicle's requirements. In most cases, the aluminum calipers are available in red, silver or black finishes. Additionally, the rotors feature drilled or slotted disc surfaces depending on the vehicle application and brake system selected. All cross-drilled holes are bi-angle chamfered at the rotor's outer surfaces to help reduce the cracking caused by repeated, high stress, high temperature brake applications. Gran Turismo brake discs are coated for corrosion resistance to help eliminate rust and to offer a bold, aggressive appearance to enhance the look of the vehicle's road wheels.
Applications using the 2-piece brake rotors combine specific, machined billet aluminum hats with a large diameter vented brake disc. The manner in which these two pieces are bolted together results in a "floating disc" which reduces heat related stress, and improves brake performance and pedal feel.
Brembo Gran Turismo Brake Systems packages are designed to meet the challenges of high performance street and track driving while adding an authentic, race-ready look. They are sold in axle pairs.
Brake rotors are wear items and as such, should also be inspected regularly and replaced as necessary. Rotors should be replaced when their "Worn Rotor Minimum Thickness" (expressed in millimeters) has reached the prescribed limit engraved on the edge of the brake disc.
Typical Brembo GT kit components include:
Exact specifications/dimensions vary per vehicles requirements. Find your vehicles exact caliper and rotor specifications using "Shop for Brake Components" above.

ROCKVILLE, Md. (AP) -- A judge has refused to reduce the sentence of a Potomac doctor convicted a decade ago of beating his wife to death with a rubber mallet.
Montgomery County Circuit Judge Michael Pincus on Thursday denied 68-year-old Zakaria Oweiss' request to reduce his 30-year sentence.
Oweiss was convicted for the August 2001 murder of his real estate agent wife Marianne Oweiss in their Potomac home.
The Washington Post reports (http://wapo.st/13C9OF4) that at Thursday's hearing, Oweiss suggested that he was suffering from hypoglycemia the morning his wife was slain and that he couldn't explain how it happened.
In asking for a reduced sentenced, Oweiss' lawyers cited the doctor's exemplary behavior in prison and his failing health.

Hearts in Gold: Vintage .92 ct Diamond Ring
Surviving a long and dangerous journey from deep within the interior of planet earth to the workshop of a master diamond cutter, arrives a ring of beauty with a heart all of its own. A transitional round cut brilliant diamond of an estimated .92 carats (F-G color; VS2 clarity) comes to rest upon a mount of 18k white gold.
The whiteness of the setting gives a visual impression that the centered diamond is greater than its estimated carat weight indicates. On the sides a heart shaped motif set with a single cut diamond adds charm and carat weight to the ring. An under gallery of filigree work provides just the right touch of fineness to a detailed finger ring.
Accompanied by an EGL USA certificate only for the main diamond which has a retail replacement value of $10,980.
Date: Circa 1930.
Measurements: 5/16 of an inch (0.9 cm) in length north to south on the hand and rises 1/4 of an inch (0.8 cm) in height off the finger. Weight of 2.6 grams (1.7 dwt).
Ring Size: US 7-1/2 (UK O-1/2; Euro or Int. Circum. 55.7 mm; Int. Dia. 17.7 mm; Japan 15) and easily can be sized to fit most. Ring sizing information.
Hallmarks: 18k.
Condition: Excellent; a few minute repairs the mounting visible with a loupe.
Origin: American.
Note: This ring comes with an EGL USA certificate for the main diamond which was graded as mounting permits. Other diamonds were not removed to preserve the integrity of the setting. Weights are approximated by measurement and formula and may vary from actual weights. Grading may vary if stones are removed.

ADAMS, N.Y. -- A large house fire in Adams spread to a second home and left one person injured.
Crews were called to Grange Avenue in Adams around 2 p.m. o'clock Saturday. When firefighters got to the scene, flames were already jumping to the next home.
Officials say a woman was taken to Samaritan Medical Center for burn injuries.
Responders say almost every department in the southern part of Jefferson County was called to the scene and it was tough to maneuver.
"Houses on this street are close, as you can see. It's a very narrow street and things are very tight here," said Jefferson County Deputy Fire Coordinator Bob Simpson.
Firefighters are looking into what sparked the flames.

New permanent collection at the MMCAT in Barcelona
On the event of its third anniversary, the Museu del Modernisme Català is inaugurating its new permanent collection on 14 March. In its resolve to continue promoting and disseminating Catalan Modernisme, the museum has added almost thirty new works by the most significant artists in our cultural legacy.
Among the recent additions, highlights include two drawings in charcoal and pastel by Ramon Casas, one of which is a portrait of his model, lover and wife Júlia Peraire, in which the fashion tastes of the early twentieth century predominate. Also exhibited is the escritoire from the long-gone Casa Trinxet, a building designed by Josep Puig i Cadafalch (located at Còrsega, 268, on Balmes corner, next to the railway line linking Barcelona and Sarrià). Its Solomonic-styled legs are striking, matching as they do the same style of columns in the house's entrance hall and sitting room.
One of Gaspar Homar's remarkable pieces is the spectacular, large umbrella stand with magnificently worked marquetry that decorates most of this piece of entrance hall furniture. Another skilled cabinetmaker and decorator, Joan Busquets, is the creator of a settle bench of exquisite refinement, which furnished the study of the famous photographer Pau Audouard, occupying the ground floor of Casa Lleó Morera in Passeig de Gràcia (today the Loewe store).
Another notable piece of artwork is the poster for the 3a Exposició internacional de Belles Arts de 1896 (3rd International Fine Arts Exhibition, 1896) by Alexandre de Riquer. It is of large dimensions and considered to be the first Modernista poster. Closing this selection of works is the delicate set of silver cups from the workshop of the Masriera brothers, the result of exact and meticulous silversmithing.

Video The Sagrada Família, as you've never seen it from Barcelona
A spectacular video of the Sagrada Família has just been published on the Internet, showing previously unseen images of this basilica designed by Antoni Gaudí. The video was recorded with the aid of a new model of drone or microcopter – a tiny, unmanned helicopter with eight rotor blades – to which a camera was fitted to film the church from unprecedented viewpoints. Using a system of three axes to control movement, the camera can also record images using the time-lapse technique, showing in mere seconds how light in the temple changes throughout the day.
The images in this video were taken in April 2012 by Albert Castaño and Luis Caldevilla.

A new publication about Emile Gallé's work recommended by Nancy
In 2006 disappeared the director of the Hetjens Museum of Düsseldorf, Bernd Hakenjos, internationally reputed Art historian specialist of the ceramics. His friends Sigrid Barten (Curator of the Bellerive Museum of Zürich) and Hans Harder decided then to pay tribute by publishing its Ph. D., defended in 1973 and dedicated to Emile Gallé's work.
This scrupulous and original work is published today in two volumes richly illustrated in German at Hirmer Publisher (Germany), thanks to the support of the Fritz Thyssen Foundation of Cologne.
Taking an inventory of ceramics, glassworks and furniture pieces, Bernd Hakenjos undertook the first large-bodied monographic study about the artist of Nancy. His knowledge and the quality of his researches justify the interest of the publication, fourty years afterwards, of a reference work. A French version should follow…
