"Our goal through this collaboration, and others like it, is to ensure that the right medicine gets to the right patient," said Stafford O'Kelly, head of Abbott's molecular diagnostics business. "As one of the early pioneers in companion diagnostics, we believe that linking genetic testing with drug development at the earliest stages can increase the effectiveness and predictability of medicines and help physicians make more informed treatment decisions." Abbott's portfolio of companion diagnostic tests includes the PathVysion® HER-2 DNA Probe Kit, which is approved for use in selecting breast cancer patients for whom Herceptin® (trastuzumab) therapy is being considered. Abbott's Vysis ALK Break Apart FISH Probe kit was approved for use in 2011 for identifying non-small cell lung cancer patients for XALKORI® (crizotinib) treatment. Abbott currently has personalized medicine collaborations in place with a number of pharmaceutical companies, including Pfizer and GlaxoSmithKline.

Fans and the general public will receive the majority of the tickets for the 2014/15 UEFA Champions League final at Berlin's Olympiastadion.
As usual, supporters of the two finalists will receive the greatest number of tickets for the match, to be held in the German capital on 6 June 2015 (kick-off 20.45CET).
A number of tickets will be made available for sale to fans worldwide via UEFA.com. For the sales process on UEFA.com, tickets will not be sold on a first-come, first-served basis. Instead, a ballot will be conducted to allocate the tickets once the sales period has ended.
The remaining tickets are allocated to the local organising committee, UEFA and national associations, commercial partners and broadcasters, and to serve the corporate hospitality programme.
Full details on ticket allocation and the application process will follow on UEFA.com.

Just wanted to ask a quick question... I already do a nice general cleaning of my guns after the range... But how often, if at all, do I need to break down the WHOLE weapon and clean. I would think its more of a personal preference and whether or not you lose sleep about it. I mean, if the safety measures work, if the hammer falls when you squeeze the trigger, the pin hits the primer, and the next round is fed into the chamber, that's all you need to be worried about. I believe in preventative maintenance but I'm also pretty lazy. Your thoughts ?

Just follow the recommendations in the owner's manual. That shoulds be safe and plenty enough.
I've seen this bantyed about quite a bit & answers of once a month to once a year, usually dependent on how much you shoot. It seems it is a more common practice with the 1911 platform & some manufacturers of other platforms recommend it only be done by a qualified gunsmith or warranty center because of special tools required.
90% of the shooting i do is with 1911's- I wipe down & run a brush & a couple patchs thru the barrel after shooting- Other than that i mite break down & CLEAN them every 7-800 rds or so (mabe) BTW- SEMPER FI

Yamaha adds jobs at Tennessee plant
Posted onYamaha Watercraft expanded its jetboat plant in Vonore, Tenn.
Yamaha invested $3 million to expand the facility to 40,000 feet, according to WBIR, an NBC affiliate. The company bought an additional 7 acres at the site and will create as many as 100 new jobs at the facility, where 340 people already work.
The director of industrial and economic development for Monroe County told the NBC affiliate that this is Yamaha's third expansion there in the last 10 years.
With the most recent expansion, Yamaha Watercraft has become the largest manufacturer of sportboats in the world, Yamaha CEO and president Toshizumi Koto said at a ribbon cutting last week, The Monroe County Advocate reported. Record profits have been recorded after production increased 200 percent in 2012, Koto said.

Excellent looking plants Rick!! I see some buds in there! Great job!! Do you have your plants in a green house, or it's like a cold frame? Mark |
Looking great, Rick! Keep up the good work and the pictures. Kirk |

Great collection there, hope to see some flowers soon... |
Oh yeah ...that's what I'm saying. Big collection!!! Looking good Rick. |
Thank you. Lots of enjoyment here. Mark, it would be a cold frame structure raised off the ground by 3 1/2' with mesh floor. I have a greenhouse (unheated) also, but trees close by are starting to block some of the light. Can't take them down. This mini greenhouse is on south east side of house and gets sun all day long. Like to have roof on, because then I control when and with what they get watered with. I keep quite a few on both decks also. Rick |
Rick, wow.....looking good, looking good. Nice greenhouse....do you still have room in your GH? Can I keep some of my plants in your GH? Your seedlings will keep you busy..... Marie |

Rick! lol I don't know what to say. I wish you were my neighbour! Hell, I wish all of you were my neighbours. Oggling each other's plants will be much easier pagan |
I don't have room in my greenhouse Marie, but if I did I would snaffle some of yours in a heart beat. These things are crazy. I keep saying no, but somehow I keep starting more. What can I say. Crazy, He!. I wish it where easier for me to send plants to many of my friends here on GW from here (Canada). Many moons ago a friend gave us so many plants or cuttings and now the sharing and giving is my time to give back. This is the part of gardening that makes it so special to me. You are all very special to me. Thanks, Rick |

Rick, Wonderful collection, as others have said, so clean and healthy. Interesting to see you have some outdoors. As you are in Canada you must be on a similar latitude to me, 53 degrees north, but you have warmer summers I think. They are obviously responding to the care you give. Regards, Brian UK. |

More Women Voting and Running as Candidates
POSTED: Wednesday, November 7, 2012 - 5:35pm
UPDATED: Wednesday, November 7, 2012 - 5:36pm
Women played a key role in this year's election, as both President Obama and Mitt Romney recognized them for their roles in society. In fact, a record number of women ran for political office this year. More women than ever will serve in the U.S. Senate, with 19 so far. Voting officials say 141 women ran as candidates for U.S House of Representatives.

To a roaring applause from a sea of delegates at the Republican National Convention here in Florida, Mitt Romney officially secured his place as the challenger to President Barack Obama in the race for the White House in November. He stitched up a total of 2,061 delegate voters, significantly higher than the 1,144 needed to win the nomination.
Not that it was without controversy. By 5pm convention attendees, who had converged in Tampa from all 50 states of the U.S., wound up speech-making to conduct a roll-call of the delegates won by each presidential nominee candidate per state.
While the Governors of most states announced unanimous delegate support for Mr. Romney there was a distinct sense of unease about states such as Texas, Iowa, Minnesota and Maine, where the one man who might have spoiled Mr. Romney's moment in the sun enjoys wide backing – Texan Congressman and strongman of the U.S.' libertarian tradition Ron Paul.
Matters took a confrontational turn when Speaker of the House of Representatives John Boehner and RNC Chairman Reince Priebus sought to press through some rule changes about delegate credentialing via voice vote.
Disputing the margin of the vote, loud boos and a virtual shouting match erupted across of the floor of the Tampa Bay Times Forum, the venue of the convention, led by the supporters of Mr. Paul. Mr. Paul's campaign was has thus far managed to appeal to the "somewhat arcane rules of delegate allocation to win a majority of four states' delegations." The leaders on the podium only succeeded in restoring calm after much gavel-banging.
The Hindu caught up with some members of the Texas delegation on the scene. Bruce Bond, an engineer and alternative delegate from Fort Bend County near Houston, said that members of his state delegation were dismayed that "Boehner and Priebus were trying to force things onto us top-down."
He added that while Texas Republicans who cherished the idea of individual liberty may "go slow" in their short-term campaigning efforts for Mr. Romney after Tuesday's events, "I'm not sure how this will affect what they do in November."
While the Team Romney may consider the Paul factor a minor blip in an otherwise overwhelmingly positive note of support for their candidate, the dissenters may well deny him their vote unless he is able to truly win over their hearts and minds in the 68 days.

Not only did Philip Hemphill manage to hold on to his first place finish from last year during the Distinguished Revolver Match, but he also broke the national record.
This year's third place finisher, Officer Greg Abraham with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, held the previous record from his performance in 2006 with a score of 281-10x. In the 2008 Distinguished Revolver Match, Hemphill came very close to breaking the record with a score of 281-7x, but he would have to wait another year. During the match yesterday, Hemphill fired his way to a score of 286-10x, a substantial lead over the previous national record.
Hemphill is not new top honors, being the nine-time winner of the National Police Shooting Championships as well as the 2007 NRA Law Enforcement Officer of the Year.

City man is jailed
on assault charge
A Rutland man is in jail for lack of $10,000 bail after city police said he assaulted a woman at his Tuttle Meadow Drive home.
Jason P. Silva, 39, pleaded innocent Monday in Rutland criminal court to a felony charge of second-degree aggravated domestic assault and misdemeanor counts of disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and unlawful mischief.
Silva was arrested Saturday at his home after police were called there for a domestic disturbance. Police said they saw Silva punch a man who had arrived to give a ride to a woman whose belongings Silva had thrown onto the front lawn.
A woman in the house told police Silva had kicked her thigh and used his palm to hit her in the face.
Silva was wrestled to the ground by officers during his arrest, according to court records.MORE IN This Just InThe Associated Press Full StoryPolice: Man robbed Full StoryIllegal gun buy Full Story -

Good morning mes amis! Sorry to be so late this morning-out of the habit since being away. I remembered yesterday, but this morning I headed straight outside to start the hoses, water the potted things I haven't planted yet and then I sat down with the paper. Thank you so much for stepping in and covering Saturdays for me while I was gone!
Since the Olympics are in full swing, I have been watching way too much tv. Today's question is about sports and I apologize to Nancy and Annette because it is somewhat US centered. Still, I think you will probably get it. The Olympic sport I am looking for has been popular since the early 19th century. The first intercollegiate competition was held in England between Oxford and Cambridge, but the first ever intercollegiate sports competition in the US took place in this sport in 1852. Yale and Harvard were the competing schools. Can you identify the sport? BTW, the competition was held in New Hampshire. Cynthia, who is on a liquid diet for the coming week at least due to surgery on gums and is definitely not happy about it! |

By Jove, I just might know this one, thoughts of silver are floating through my crystal ball, that is if I'm on the right track :). Cyn, I feel for you, not fun big hugs. Annette |
Having grown up outside Philadelphia, I used to love seeing all the clubs for this sport as we drove in town on West River Drive. It was and is a very popular sport there. Annette, floating indeed. Cynthia |
Ouch. I don't like thinking about gum surgery, or, for that matter, any surgery at all. Speedy healing to you, Cynthia. Triva-wise, I see that floating must be a key word. Real floating? As in water? As usual, I don't actually know the answer, but I may eventually stumble onto it with the help of generous hints. TM |
TM, are you a fan of art? Thomas Eakins of Philadelphia loved this sport and painted many pictures of participants. Several, I think are at Yale. The clubhouses are lit at night-a must see for visitors to the city. There are several configurations for participation. I imagine a single person would find this a lovely quiet, calming way to begin or end a day away from the hustle and bustle of day-to-day life. As far as the mouth goes, I went through this a couple of years ago. Very frustrating because how can we really know if it is necessary or just a way to make some extra $ for the dentist. Ah well. Mine uses a laser which is pretty cool. I have such lousy teeth that if this will help me keep them forever, it is worth a try. Cynthia |

Lordy, lordy, lordy, it's approaching 90 here, NOT my kind of temps, it looks like it's going to be a dvd and several cold drinks afternoon for me. What to watch... I'm in the mood for some skull and crossbones, Frenchman's Creek starring Joan Fontaine and Auturo de Cordova is one of my favorites, haven't watched that for awhile. TM there is a wee clue here if you look hard, that's if I've got it right LOL. Annette |
After the movie, Annette and I will start everyone singing A favorite round from childhood...if you need more clues I will start in my next post. Time to paddle on downstairs to do laundry. |

Hi All!! Just home and whew!!! It is hot out there - way too close to 100F for my liking!! Now silver, Annette, that gives me a clue. I believe that was ours to the US gold?? Even though I am not watching the games, some of the results do float through!! I have friends who own an antique one, though it is currently warehoused!! They offered me a chance to buy in when they got it, but I'm not much of a team player!! Cyn, omg - I feel for you - maybe a little G&T in your liquid diet will help with all that ails?? Nancy. |
oooh, I'll bet the antique one is a beauty, but much heavier than the modern ones I would guess. i think it is the perfect activity for Chuck now that he can't run any more. He would love the solitude and it is certainly a good workout for arms and legs! Maybe we could get one for the two of us...doubtful it would appeal to him then! ;) |
From the clues I am wondering if this is the sport that GB won their first gold medal in this Olympics? We knew a gal who participated on a team for this sport. I think she practiced on the Mississippi River. |
I've been gone all afternoon running errands with DW including dinner, and I see that in my absence a whole raft of clues have been laid out leading me right to the answer! Thank you all. You are a super crew. TM |
Final answer from me: rowing, sculling, or crew. I think it goes by those names. Back in the day when we had a sailboat, I built a small 8 foot dinghy that would row along like a scalded cat. Lots of fun to just zip around in. TM |

I'm with you TM :). The Canadian team (men) that just won silver is from Vancouver Island. They train on a lake right next door to a favorite garden center I visit every time I'm down island. Annette |
okay, I'll start...row, row row your boat... Yes, **** for all of you. The first ever intercollegiate sports competition was a rowing regatta held on Lake Winnepasaukee in New Hampshire between Yale and Harvard, so as you all knew, rowing is the Olympic sport. Of course, the Henley regatta in England is more famous and older. In PhilaPa, we hold many races on the Schuylkill River. The 'Dad' Vail regatta is the largest intercollegiate regatta in the US and quite fun to attend. One year, before the Clean Water Act, one team threw their coxswain in the river to celebrate and he came down with (if I am remembering correctly) typhoid. The river is much cleaner now! Boat House Row is a sight to see at night when the outlines of all the different boat clubs are lit in white lights. I miss Philadelphia. Thanks for playing everyone. Off to check out today's question from Nancy. Have a marvelous week. Cynthia |
Here is a link that might be useful: boat house row at night
Now me: Row, row, row your boat ... Thanks to all the clues, I managed to squeak out the answer to this one. Good question, and timely too. Thank you, Cynthia. TM |

"Need a male narrator"
I listen to a great many audio books and on a scale of 1-10 this would rank about a 4 1/2 only because the narrator just didn't pull you into the story. When reading the heroes lines, it sounded very corny at times. This narrator would be great for a book that is written from a female character's point of view, but definitely not a male's- especially an alpha male.
Cole, because he is the lost one until he meets Jessa.
A male narrator! There are a lot of great ones out there and I really wished one had been used.
Yes, I had an extreme reaction- disappointment! I liked the story, just not the way it was delivered. I like Shayla Black's books but this one could have been narrated so much better.
Please use a male narrator for any other books that have strong male characters. Serena Daniels is a good narrator but I think she'd be better sticking to just female characters. I listened to this book before the 1st book in the series and now I'm not so sure I want to buy and listen to the 1st book since it is narrated by the same person.
"I love Helena!"
The books & audio books are equally entertaining.
It kept me wanting more. I bought all that were available before I finished the first chapter in Trouble in Mudbug (the first book).
Helena, Helena, oh and did I say, Helena?
Sit back & get ready to laugh til you are sore!
If you love funny, witty, quirky southern folks, you will love this series. They are worth every cent & more that you spend for the books and audio books. These characters are so entertaining. (I just don't think they should have insulted Helena as much as they did. She made their lives so much more interesting!) I'd love to just sit down with author Jana DeLeon for a day and pick her brain to see how she comes up with her very funny characters & storylines. Thank you, Ms. DeLeon, for hours of enjoyment.
"Dull after reading Crazy Little Thing"
This book dragged and I was hoping for more hilarity like in Crazy Little Thing, but I was disappointed. I also don't care for stories where the woman is so much older than the male. Honestly, I have only stopped reading a book mid-way 4 times in a lifetime of reading, but this made the 5th time.
Wasn't funny like her first one. I was so disappointed.
The same narrator for her first Bell Harbor novel. I just didn't care for Amy McFadden's voice. It kind of sounded like she was bored.
No, not if it is a dull as The Best Medicine.
Just so disappointed. I love Tracy Brogan's writing, and maybe I would have stuck with this book if the narrator was different, but I just found myself not enjoying it at all.
"Great narration for the most entertaining story!"
In the top 20 and I have read thousands of books, but listening to this one was a rare pleasure.
I'm not sure I can compare Bewitching to any other book at this time. I just know I laughed out loud every few minutes while listening to this book and had people looking at me as though I was ready for the funny farm! The humor in this book was wonderful. Anne Johnstonbrown is the perfect narrator for this type of book. I can only hope she does the next of Jill Barnestt's books- Dreaming.
While I both listened and read along with much of the book, Anne Johnstonbrown brought the story alive with the expression she put in the text. I could actually see in my min'd eye the Duke's reactions to Joyous (Joy). I could never have read the book in the same manner and found it so entertaining. Great job, Ms. Johnstonbrown!
Oh, my goodness!
I loved this book so much that I was extremely unhappy when I looked for her next book, Dreaming, and saw it was not offered. I don't know if it is in audiobooks or if Audible.com just hasn't acquired it, but I plan to find out. These books are worth the money and some!
"Please, please, please don't let this be the last"
So, so satisfying!
Everything about this book was great! The story, the narrator, the characters, every word written by J R Ward was just as great as the first one.
Of course the birth of Little Wrath.
The King returns & the wait was worth it!
I too counted the months, weeks, days & minutes until The King was released. I don't know if Ms. Ward has more BDB in the works but I sure hope so. These characters are like family...you know them and love them and want their stories to continue. I'm glad I didn't read any reviews before reading & listening to this book and I didn't want it to end I found it so good. I happen to like all the storylines of the other characters. I'd love to see more of Zcor & Layla's story. And Trez, iAM, & Selena too.
"There needs to be more!"
The narrator has a good voice for this story.
Steli-chakai! She was so funny, fierce and loving toward Ellysetta & the kittens. And her disappointment that she couldn"t use humans as prey. She was funny & sweet.
Yes and she does a great job with all of them.
Yes, definitely!
The biggest disappointment I had was that it never told what happened to Melliandra, Nicolene and the babies other than heading towards the mountains. Melliandra played a very large part in Shan's escape and I really wanted to read her reaction to the sun and the world above ground. I'd also liked to have known about Nicolene and her baby, Shia's son and the rest of the children born through abuse. I hope Ms. Wilson writes more about some of these minor characters. If it had told about Melliandra s & Nicolene's fate, I would have given the story 5 stars instead of 4. Also Ms. Wilson could have made the High Mage suffer more before dying! He got off too easy for all the suffering he caused!
"Great read... but with a few things left hanging"
Usual great read!
Finding Nigel dead. Total shock! Can archangels kill themselves?
Yes- all of the Brotherhood & Fallen Angel books. If anyone else performed these books, I'd be very disappointed.
Yes, but then I wanted it to go on forever too!
Each book in this series just gets better and better. The only problems I had with this story was what happened to Colin with Nigel dead and for what reason did Duke go back to Cait's house to save her from GB? I wish the reason for him returning to her house was given. Was it heavenly intervention or what? It just felt like there was more to the story that needed to be written.
When does the next book come out? I need more of the story!
"Great story with great humor!"
I love it when there is humor in a story and there was plenty in this one. The narrator made it even more humorous.
When Drustan was locked in the garderobe & finally settled down to listen to Gwen.
I really loved Gwen. She was so tenacious!
When Silvan and Nell finally came together.
All of the books are good, but this one really entertained me and I know I'll be listening to it again. Phil Gigante is one of my favorite narrators and he made this book so enjoyable. You forget it is a man doing the parts of the females. I can't say enough about how much I enjoy his narrations!
"I need more! More werewolves!"
The wonderful wit. I laughed constantly.
Definitely the characters. They can be so quirky. Mo is hilarious with her hippie parents.
Can I say all of them? No? Well, I guess I loved Cooper coming in to save the day in the end.and Mo learning she was pregnant and didn't fool anyone by keeping it secret and the love scenes and.....well I said all the scenes were my favorite.
Yes, definitely!
I want more of the werewolves of Alaska and more wonderful stories. And DON'T let anyone but Amanda Ronconi narrate! She is the best I have ever heard because she becomes the characters & takes you there. I can picture them so well in my mind while listening to the book. For me that is the ultimate compliment I can give a narrator.
"The story is very good, but the narrator ?"
A good story. But the narrator made the hero sound like a pervert. It was very difficult for me to continue listening to the book. The narrator has a decent voice, but his hero's accent and gravely voice made the hero sound like someone extremely ancient NOT sexy or desirable as I am sure the author meant for him to be.
I feel like this book is an extension of the Scarletti Curse.
No!! Not if he continues to make the hero sound like he is 200 years old!
Redo the audiobook with one of the other narrators to give the hero a better image through his voice. At least make him sound younger, please!

Toronto film fest builds buzz, but business is off
TORONTO (Reuters) - The Toronto International Film Festival reached its midpoint on Tuesday with films like the "The Descendants" and actor Michael Fassbender winning praise, but a nagging question about the future of dark dramas in Hollywood has hovered over the event. Toronto, which along with recently wrapped festivals in Venice and Telluride, helps launch the movie awards season and industry pros gather here to build buzz for their films. Yet, while some dramas here have been praised for their stories and characters, few business deals have been made to put many of those movies into theaters.
Tyler Perry is Hollywood's highest paid man
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Actor Tyler Perry, who has his own film and TV studio in Atlanta, ranks atop the list of Hollywood's highest paid men, in a new ranking from Forbes.com that includes director Steven Spielberg and singer Elton John. Perry topped the list by making $130 million from May 2010 to May 2011, financial website Forbes.com reported on Monday.
Miss Angola crowned Miss Universe in Brazil
(Reuters) - Miss Angola Leila Lopes, a business student from the town of Benguela in her home country, was crowned Miss Universe on Monday after dazzling a panel of judges with her beauty and impressing them with her brain.

Special ed reform "work in progress"
The special education reform rolled out in all schools this fall is very much "a work in progress," according to two prominent experts: Kim Sweet, executive director of Advocates for Children (AFC) and Maggie Moroff, of AFC and the the ARISE Coalition.
The reform's goal of educating disabled children in their neighborhood schools is laudable, write the two in an article for City Limits, but now the emphasis must shift to accountability and ensuring that children's needs are actually being met in the schools that enrolled them.
Sweet and Moroff call upon the Education Department to do three things. First, provide intensive, ongoing, elbow to elbow support and training to school staff working with special needs children. Second, come up with an immediate plan to better inform parents about the reform and give families guidance on what to do if their school lacks "the expertise or capacity to meet their children's needs." Third, publicly report the successes and failures of the reform's first phase - two years in 260 pilot schools. What were the best practices? What was the impact of the reform at those schools?
Read the article "On Special Ed, School Dept. Must do its Homework" in City Limits.
Special ed seats go unfilled at elite school
There are more students with special needs than ever attending Brooklyn's highly sought-after Christa McAuliffe middle school, but poor outreach has left one-third of the available seats unfilled.
The empty seats will not be filled this year, Education Department officials said.
The school let several general education teachers go in preparation for the creation of two Integrated Co-Teaching classes, in which general and special education students learn side by side with two teachers, one of whom is licensed to teach special education students. There were only enough special ed students to create one of the ICT classes. Nonetheless, the school is not offering Spanish to 6th graders this year and some art classes have been cut, parents said.
The problem was not a lack of interest among families of children with disabilities. Students applying to Christa McAuliffe, also known as IS 187, must take the OLSAT exam, which was administered in December. But parents were not informed of the special needs enrollment option until January. As a result, the school had fewer applications from special education students than the 25-30 seats that the DOE targeted. It got 4,000 applications for just 300 general education seats in 2010.
Here's help for special ed parents
The beginning of a new school year can be exciting -- and confusing. Some very helpful information is now available for families of students with disabilities. A new fact sheet from Advocates for Children is online in both English and Spanish.
It covers a range of issues that often crop up at the beginning of school, including:
For many children with special needs, the start of school will be a smooth process, but if it's not, you can get in touch with Advocates for Children for advice and assistance. Their help line at (866) 427-6033 is staffed Monday through Thursday from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m.
Back to school with asthma & allergies
For some families, back to school means new clothes and school supply shopping. But if your child has asthma, food allergies or any condition that requires medication in school, you'll have to add something else to the list: medical forms. You may need the Medication Administration Form (MAF), Asthma Action Plan, or a Section 504 form to ensure your child has a safe school experience
The MAF allows students to receive the medications they need at school. The Asthma Action Plan is developed with your doctor to help control your child's asthma. But too few families have these forms. According to the New York City Department of Health, in 2009, only 65% of children who should have a form on file actually did. Food allergies can be fatal, as in the case of a Canadian school girl who died at school because her condition was not properly recognized by school officials.
Why special ed reform misses the point
Brooks is a success story: he is a smart and happy autistic kid who has conquered many of his pervasive challenges and continues to work long and hard on the ones that persist.
But according to the Department of Education, my son is a failure. Because unless he has graduated to a less restrictive environment (LRE)—from special education to integrated, or even more desirable, all the way to mainstream—he does not earn their seal of approval. In fact, by their accounting, he is a collosal failure since he went the opposite direction: to a more restrictive environment.
For Brooks, his new setting offers him the opportunity to learn, and it seems to me that this would be everyone's first and foremost concern. But it seems more important to the DOE that he require less and less support over the years. Now, if he was one of the small percentage of autistic kids who outgrow their challenges and get declassified, their formula would work because he wouldn't require services. It's only when you factor in the reality of his disability—a disability that in his case, interventions cannot inherently change—that this success measurement becomes at best, inaccurate, and at worst, a major disservice to the most special education students.
Autism and Little League
Brooks loves baseball. The first and last thing he does every day is check the Mets score, and he could rival any grown-up rabid sports fan in terms of logging hours and hours of watching innings and innings (for better or worse).
Unfortunately, he has a lot of genetics to overcome to actually play the game. Aside from the obvious autism-related ones, he's small and Jewish (to quote Bill Finn: "We're watching Jewish boys/Who cannot play baseball/Play baseball.") Still, every Sunday morning this spring, he suits up as number 11 on his Blue Sky Hawks Little League team.
Since my husband and I simply couldn't picture him playing with his 9-12 year old peers in kid pitch, we decided to offset some of his challenges by holding him back for an extra year in coach pitch. That decision, along with the overall non-competitive style of the Hudson Cliff League, has afforded him the opportunity to succeed. Of course, baseball is no different from any other endeavor: although hard work, natural talent, and love of the game all play a major role, there's no escaping late throws, bad bounces, and teammates who have more natural talent.
June 5 panel on elementary school choice
I'll be one of the speakers at a workshop at New York University, Tuesday, June 5, from 12 to 1:30 p.m. to help parents figure out their elementary school options. The event at the Kimmel Center, 60 Washington Square South, Room, 803, is designed for NYU staff, but others may come as well. Maggie Moroff from Advocates for Children will talk about special education and Terri Decker of Smart City Kids will talk about gifted programs.
The workshop is free, but you must register: http://www.nyu.edu/rsvp/event.php?e_id=4192. Call 212-998-9085 for more information
We'll give you information about how to register your child, how to apply to schools outside your zone, and what you should look for on school visits. There will be time for questions and answers as well.
Can't come? Look at our pages on how to apply to elementary school and our YouTube video on what to look for in an elementary school.
Talent show trumps standardized tests
I'm happy to report that what loomed large for my son at school a few weeks ago had nothing to do with the mandatory standardized 3rd grade ELA and math tests, and everything to do with LearningSpring's annual talent show.
To our relief, the tests were given the appropriately small amount of attention they deserve. They don't drive the school curriculum, and their results will be refreshingly meaningless. We already know that my son is academically well-below grade level. He will get practice taking tests—not a bad thing—and no teacher will be fired because he didn't score high enough. But I understand that our school's common sense attitude is atypical in NYC public schools, and I support and admire Anne Stone and Jeff Nichols for taking a stance against these tests that take so much away from and contribute so little to our kids' education.
What Brooks got out of the talent show cannot be measured by a test. He shared his love of music with the whole student body, and he experienced the teamwork of the school coming together to create a performance for their friends and families. Although the teachers and therapists were guiding them, we knew from the way Brooks had talked about rehearsals that this was their show. And from the moment the two upper grade masters of ceremonies warmly welcomed the parents, my husband and I became enchanted.
Elite & audition schools get special ed pass
Some highly sought after high schools won't have to enroll more special education students this fall, even as others work to boost their numbers and meet city-mandated targets.
Bard, Baruch and Eleanor Roosevelt, all in Manhattan, are among 27 high schools that are exempt from enrolling a mandated number of special needs students in their 9th grade classes this fall. City officials said the schools will be asked to meet targets in the fall of 2013.
The schools given exemptions fall into three categories: the city's 14 International schools that serve new immigrants; seven schools that require auditions; and six hyper-competitive academically screened schools. (An additional nine specialized high schools, governed by state law, are also exempt.)
Let special ed kids reapply to G&T school?
District 20 leaders are bracing for a flood of parents at Wednesday's Community Education Council meeting who want the city to exempt IS 187 Christa McAuliffe from next year's special education requirements, which will force the school to admit more kids with special needs.
Other parents say allowing more special ed kids into the school isn't the problem. These parents want the city to re-open the application process to special needs students at the all-gifted Brooklyn middle school, since so few knew it was an option.
Many parents of special education students – including those with kids at IS 187 - say they had no idea that their beloved school was a possibility. While a small number of special education students do attend the school, it has not enrolled students who require special classes and more intensive services.

Updated Practice Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Monitoring of Thyroid Disease Available Online in Thyroid Journal.
Health/Medical WritersLARCHMONT, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 3, 2003
The long-awaited, revised National Academy of Clinical Biochemistry Practice Guidelines, entitled "Laboratory Support for the Diagnosis and Monitoring of Thyroid Disease," are available in their entirety in the January 2003 (Volume 13, Number 1) issue of Thyroid, a peer-reviewed journal published by Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. (www.liebertpub.com). The issue is available free online at www.liebertpub.com/thy.
The report, written by Laurence M. Demers, Ph.D., and Carole A. Spencer, Ph.D., emphasizes the need for "quality laboratory testing support for the accurate diagnosis and cost-effective management of thyroid disorders."
"These long-awaited guidelines are global consensus guidelines developed from extensive consultation and review by multiple thyroid experts worldwide," says Dr. Spencer, co-editor of the guidelines and a guest editor of the January 2003 issue of Thyroid. "The guidelines are designed to give practicing clinicians and clinical laboratory scientists an overview of the strengths and limitations of the current biochemical and cytological thyroid tests used in clinical practice."
Included in the Practice Guidelines are an overview of pre-analytic factors, a discussion of the importance of the laboratory-physician interface, and a detailed look at the range of thyroid tests available, including measurement of total and free thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), thyroid stimulating hormone, thyroid autoantibodies (thyroid peroxidase, thyroglobulin, and thyrotrophin receptor antibodies), thyroglobulin, calcitonin, the ret proto-oncogene, and urinary iodide. Guidelines for performing fine needle aspiration and cytology, as well as for screening for congential hypothyroidism round out the discussion.
Specific guidelines include the following: thyroid testing of ambulatory or hospitalized patients, of infants and children, and of pregnant patients; clinical utility of TSH assays; clinical uses of TRAb measurement; serum total T4 and total T3 measurements; thyroid hormone binding ratio or "uptake" tests; clinical utility of serum free T3 estimate tests; and levothyroxine replacement therapy for primary hypothyroidism. Tables clearly outline the proper procedures for thyroid testing and the guidelines for interpreting test results.
Thyroid, edited by Terry F. Davies, M.D. , of the Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes & Bone Diseases at Mount Sinai School of Medicine (New York, NY), is an authoritative peer-reviewed journal published monthly in print and online. As the Official Journal of the American Thyroid Association, Thyroid publishes original papers and timely reviews that reflect the rapidly advancing changes in our understanding of thyroid physiology and pathology, from the molecular biology of the cell to clinical management of thyroid disorders.

20 Wo [to] those saying to evil `good,' And to good `evil,' Putting darkness for light, and light for darkness, Putting bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter. | 20 Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter. |

It's the future of surgery…and it's now available at Metro Health Hospital!
Thanks to generous donations to the Metro Health Hospital Foundation, we're now able to perform a variety of surgeries, including prostatectomy, hysterectomy, urological, general and GYN surgeries, using the very latest in surgical technology.
The da Vinci® Surgical System provides an alternative to both traditional open surgery and conventional laparoscopy, which uses small incisions but is typically limited to very simple procedures. The da Vinci System puts a surgeon's hands at the controls of a state-of-the-art robotic platform. This new category of minimally invasive surgery allows surgeons to perform even the most complex and delicate procedures through very small incisions with unmatched precision.
For the patient, benefits may include:
- Significantly less pain
- Less blood loss
- Less scarring
- Shorter recovery time
- A faster return to normal daily activities
With da Vinci, small incisions are used to introduce miniaturized instruments and a high-resolution, 3D camera. Seated comfortably at the da Vinci console, your surgeon views a magnified, 3D image of the surgical site.
At the same time, robotic and computer technologies scale, filter and seamlessly translate your surgeon's hand movements into precise micro-movements of the da Vinci instruments, which exceed the natural range of motion of the human hand.
The System cannot be programmed, nor can it make decisions on its own. Rather, the da Vinci System requires that every surgical maneuver be performed with direct input from your surgeon. As your surgeon manipulates the controls,
da Vinci responds to your surgeon's input in real time, translating his or her hand, wrist and finger movements into precise movements of the instruments on the patient-side cart.

Named Valley Advocate?s Best Steakhouse for five years in a row, Opa Opa Steakhouse and Brewery grills an array of steak cuts?ranging from sirloin tips to prime rib?to a juicy and house-recommended medium rare. Beyond its steaks, the eatery?s grub follows the same Southwestern theme as its dining room?s decorative touches, which includes a wagon wheels and a cattle skull. The kitchen?s carefully roasted baby-back ribs, barbecued chicken, and pulled pork complements homestyle favorites such as meatloaf, lasagna, and fish and chips. All of the hearty entrees pair with sides that run the gamut from fries to cowboy beans. An array of beers, encompassing award-winning pours such as Red Rock Amber Ale and King Oak Milk Stout, wash meals down more effectively than a good, long yawn in front of water slide. Opa Opa Steakhouse and Brewery also caters events on-site or at the customer's choice of location.
The grill masters at Caminito Argentinean Steakhouse stay true to their culinary roots with a distinctly South American cooking tradition, which begins with hormone-free meat from cows that were fed a vegetable-only diet and raised on pastures instead of in cages. Manning a cast-iron grill stoked by locally sourced hardwoods, the expert chefs fire-kiss select cuts of beef to smoky perfection, infusing filet mignons, skirt steaks, and short ribs with rustic flavors that pair harmoniously with the restaurant's robust selection of Argentinean red wines.
Although Caminito's wood-fired steaks have earned it the Valley Advocate's award for Best Steak House from 2010 through 2013, the menu proves that the restaurant does not live and die by expertly charred beef. Lobster-filled ravioli, pan-seared salmon, and seasoned chicken breasts showcase the kitchen team's culinary repertoire, in addition to vegetarian entrees that aren't just snapshots of steak printed on soy paper. Refreshing sips of ale from Peak Organic Brewing Company complement hearty bites, and spoonfuls of flan and mousse bring meals to their bittersweet conclusion. On weekends, the acoustic strumming of guitarist Alvaro Olvera Sanchez nourishes famished ears with flamenco notes and classic Spanish songs.
CW's American menu?which features locally sourced seafood and thick-cut steaks?combines the comforting nostalgia of classic Americana with contemporary cooking techniques. Their modern methods include rubbing each cut of meat with a proprietary blend of spices before broiling them at 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit to seal in juices. When possible, the chefs source their seasonally changing ingredients from local businesses to encourage the local economy and give their wheelbarrow driver a break.
Swirls of sauce and fresh orchid blossoms adorn entrees at Hirosaki Prime, where chefs craft traditional and contemporary Japanese dishes. At tabletop grills throughout the 54-seat hibachi room, they blend cooking and performance in a showy display as they sauté vegetables and seasoned meats. In the smaller lounge, alit with votive candles, otherworldly artwork, and walls inlaid with a soft red glow, guests can sample other Japanese dishes such as chicken teriyaki, as well as specialty sushi rolls such as the Ninja roll, whose shrimp tempura, cucumber, and spicy tuna hide in plain sight.
The chefs at Kai Sushi Bar and Grill synthesize culinary skills with fresh ingredients, resulting in a menu of delectable Japanese cuisine and high-quality sushi. Starters of kushiyaki beef skewers ($5.50) and thin-sliced, seared tuna-tataki ($8.95) are on hand to wake even the most deeply hibernating of stomach bears. With a variety of healthy, creative options, such as the lobster salad ($13.95) and low-carb sushi selections, the recipes highlight indulgence without guilt. The eatery pays homage to local sports teams with cheerleading squads and the Red Sox soy wrap, lovingly filled with tempura shrimp, apple, and avocado ($11.95). Guests with a craving for land meat can satisfy their inner grumblings with chicken katsu and steamed veggies ($13.50), or conquer the modern American dream of downing a 14-ounce sirloin steak in a Japanese restaurant ($20.95). Celebrate a successful dining experience with a thematically inappropriate jig atop the sushi bar and a dessert of zesty banana tempura ($5.95) while enjoying the restaurant's atmosphere, which the proprietors strive to make both comfortable and classy.
As Italian eateries go, Peppercorn?s is a chameleon. Entrees can be elegant?grilled salmon over mesclun, steak tips with a seafood casserole?or downright comforting, such as a pot roast with natural pan gravy. Families have an easy time ordering thanks to the thin-crust pizzas and kids' menu, whereas more mature crowds enjoy the benefits of Peppercorn?s proximity to Wormtown Brewery. The craft-beer producers are just next door, so they keep Peppercorn?s bar stocked with their regular brews, rare offerings, and to-go growlers. In the lounge, seven high-definition flat screen TVs broadcast the day?s athletic proceedings, and here spectators can order anything off the full menu while they second-guess the manager's decision to replace the catcher with a pyramid of fragile milk bottles.

What we've got here is a brand new episode of the GRUK Podcast. What does that mean exactly? It means three 'men' in a room 'talking' about games. Games like Journey and Street Fighter X Tekken and Syndicate. It means quality regulars like the side-splitting Towell Joke Factory, the ever-sexual Erection Section and the completely random Random Game Name Game. It means stupid. It means innuendo. It means cheese. It means lots of 80s references that may or may not be completely relevant and hilarious to everyone listening. It means stop reading words and put our mouth noises into your sound detectors immediately by clicking on that big black banner below that says 'Click to hear us now!'
This week's prize consists of two games. Not one game. TWO. The two games that can be won are: X-Men Destiny (360) and James Noir's Hollywood Crimes 3D (3DS). If you fancy winning them, listen out for the question at the start of the podcast and leave your answer in the comments on this very page. You've got to be in it etc.

This news just came in. Disney will be staying in Port Canaveral for at least the next 15 years.
Here's the link to the article:After more than a year of negotiations, Disney Cruise Line and Port Canaveral struck a deal Wednesday that will keep Disney ships sailing out of Brevard County for the next 15 years.
Under the agreement, Disney will station the two new cruise ships it is having built in Germany at Port Canaveral for at least three years after they begin sailing in 2011 and 2012. Each of the ships will carry 4,000 passengers, or 1,300 more than the existing Disney Magic and Disney Wonder liners.

Being a Gospel Wife: I am his bride…
Filed under Marriage"Marriage was designed by God most deeply, most importantly, to be a parable or a drama of the way Christ loves his church and the way the church loves and follows Christ." John Piper
Being a bride means—above all—that we imitate THE bride, the church. We are to respect, follow, love, and submit to our husband as the church does to Christ. "As the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands (Eph. 5.22)." That's a pretty tall order, for sure.
We have to admit, though, that our husbands might have the tougher assignment: they are to imitate Christ who "gave himself up for us" (Eph. 5.25). We have to follow, but they have to die! This series is not about the husbands, though. We want to focus on God's calling for us as wives.
Submission (Eph 5.22) and respect (Eph. 5.33) comprise the primary role of a bride, and that's who the command is addressed to. Submission was not our husbands' idea, and neither are they responsible to enforce it. This command is not divine permission for husbands to assert authoritarian leadership. Nowhere in Scripture does it say, 'Husbands, see to it that your wives submit.' That's our job.
The requirement to submit to our husbands comes straight from God to us as wives. And we are answerable to Him for our obedience. We cannot blame our husbands for our lack of submission. The responsibility is entirely ours!
And notice to whom we are to submit. As married women, we are not called to submit to all men (and neither are single women, for that matter), but rather to our husbands. Conversely, we should not seek leadership from other men, apart from our husbands, no matter how worthy they are of honor or respect. We are to follow our husbands.
But as I said, this isn't always easy. We'll talk about why, next time. Stay tuned.
(adapted from Feminine Appeal)

The Avett Brothers
~ Group
The Avett Brothers /ˈeɪvɨt/ is an American band from Concord, North Carolina. The band is made up of two brothers, Scott Avett (banjo) and Seth Avett (guitar), as well as Bob Crawford (double bass) and Joe Kwon (cello). Mike Marsh (drums), Tania Elizabeth (violin) and Paul Defiglia (keyboard) are touring members of the band, with Kwon featured on recordings from 2007's Emotionalism and later.
Following on from Seth and Scott's former rock band Nemo, the Avett Brothers combine bluegrass, country, punk, pop melodies, folk, rock and roll, indie rock, honky tonk, and ragtime to produce a novel sound described by the San Francisco Chronicle as having the "heavy sadness of Townes Van Zandt, the light pop concision of Buddy Holly, the tuneful jangle of the Beatles, the raw energy of the Ramones."

Hi -
Has anyone been to Kingwood in Mansfield in past week or so? Wondering what's in bloom there right now and if I should take my Mom this weekend (24th) or wait until July. Never been but from its website, it looks like a great place! Thanks. - Abbie |

Sorry, can't comment on Kingwood, but if you go up that way and have the energy after Kingwood, you should stop at Wade & Gatton Nurseries. W&G is outside Bellville at 1288 Gatton Rocks Road. It's about a 10 minute drive from the I71 and SR13 interchange. They have huge display gardens of hostas and daylilies. It may be a little early for the daylilies, but the hosta gardens alone are worth the trip. They are closed on Sundays. |

Fiscal reform in the republic has put pressure on bank profitability
Authorities in the Dominican Republic are doing their best to revive a flagging economy. But for the nation's banks, the policy measures have not been without their costs. GDP growth dropped from 7.8% in 2010 to around 4% in 2012. The government reformed the tax system in late 2012, increasing value added tax among other measures. At the same time, it cut spending in the early part of 2013. The economy felt...

SEOUL - Park Geun-Hye became South Korea's first female president Monday, vowing zero tolerance with North Korean provocation and demanding Pyongyang "abandon its nuclear ambitions" immediately.
Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra was singled out for a special greeting by brand new president Park Geun-hye at the inauguration reception line on Monday, and then had the best "seat" in the house for a Gangnam Style show.
As leader of Asia's fourth-largest economy, Ms Park, the 61-year-old daughter of late military strongman Ms Park Chung-Hee, faces challenges of slowing growth and soaring welfare costs in one of the world's most rapidly ageing societies.

A good and proper Bichon Frise diet is an essential necessity if you want a healthy and happy Bichon.
If you love and care for your dog, which we know you do, then do some research on this matter and consult with your vet to find a Bichon Frise diet plan that is right for your dog.
It's important to keep in mind that every Bichon, and every dog for that matter, is an individual. And it may take a little while to figure out what your dog's food needs will be...
That having been said, we do highly recommend that you research the best dog foods out there.
Bichons have very sensitive skin and are prone to skin irritations and allergies. In many cases, these dog allergies are caused by an improper diet.
Improper diets are usually the result of feeding inferior dog foods that don't consist of the proper nutrients and supplements required by your Bichon Frise dog.
As discussed on the Bichon puppies feeding advice page, we looked into kibble holistic dog food for feeding our white fluffy dogs. The results of that decision have been truly outstanding and wonderful.
Our 3 Bichons, Buddy, Emily and Beau, seem to have a new lease on life. They have more energy, a shinier and fuller coat and the severe dog allergies that plagued Emily have all but gone away.
Yes, it is true that a holistic dog food is a little expensive compared to most dog foods but isn't it worth it for the health of your "best friend."
Also known as BARF (Bones and Raw Food), this feeding method basically looks to return a dogs' diet back to the way nature intended it to be.
Just as important as feeding a healthy Bichon diet, is the essential necessity of giving your dog plenty of fresh water on a daily basis.
Our family drinks purified bottled drinking water and so do our dogs.
Some tap waters contain dangerous chemicals and contaminants. Why take that increased risk for yourself or your sensitive Bichon Frise?
A proper and nutritional Bichon Frise diet is one of the best ways to show your dog how much you care for it.You might also like:

Candidates to converge in Redwood Falls on the eve of Farmfest
As candidates prepare for a mandatory Minnesota campaign stop, we too are headed west towards Farmfest. The annual event near Redwood Falls is a rite of passage for any major candidate. Tuesday morning congressional candidates will all appear together in a forum.
Wednesday morning it's gubernatorial hopefuls. This one will be especially interesting, not just to test their rural credibility, but because Republican Tom Emmer is appearing on the same stage with leading Democrats Margaret Anderson Kelliher, Mark Dayton, and Matt Entenza. Emmer has been reluctant to participate in such forums as he waits for Democrats to "figure out their candidate" after next week's Primary Election.
Farmers we've been checking in with are feeling good about this year's crops. One former ag columnist told me he can't remember seeing corn so tall and the beans are coming along as well. Now we'll see how the candidates prove their rural credibility.
Comments (1)
I asked one hundred farmers, and related folks, a simple question while touring the Farm Fest yesterday, "Have you seen the Obama Recovery?". Without fail, I generated the biggest belly laughs you ever saw from formerly fat farmers who have been on an austerity diet for two decades. Look for democratic Armageddon this Fall. Any Democrats want to get a picture with Nobama on his birthday? Free pictures available for suicidal politicians.
