SAN ANTONIO -- New figures from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) show autism is on the rise, affecting one in 88 children born. It s a growing health problem.
Scientists in San Antonio are using an animal model to help find answers to this mysterious condition.
Genetically engineered mice may help open the door to future autism treatments. The lab animals are bred with one minuscule change: a tiny mutation that alters the way serotonin is transported in the brain. Serotonin is a brain chemical important in controlling mood.
You can think about these just very small changes have a big effect on how the brain develops and how the cognitive abilities and behavior are affected by this, said Brent Thompson, a neuroscientist at the University of Texas Health Science Center.
The animals show autistic behaviors. They aresocially impaired and don't interact with their fellow animals normally.
But it s what s going on inside their brains that have scientists interested. In the Neurotransmitter Transporter Lab at UTHSC, researchers insert a tiny probe into the brains of anesthetized mice, measuring electrical activity.
And what we found was the serotonin transporter was revved up, if you like, said UTHSC physiology researcher Lynette Daws. It was working much, much faster than in a normal control mouse.
That means less serotonin was circulating in the brain. The results are published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The mouse autism model is a starting point for studying complex brain chemical interactions.
If we can find a way to slow down the activity of the serotonin transporter, particularly during these early critical stages of development, then we may be able to head off autism or lessen the severity of autistic symptoms, Daws said.
Scientists say having an autism mouse model is exciting. It could lead to the development of novel treatments.
That is potentially good news for thousands of parents and their children.

GLENS FALLS, N.Y., March 17 /PRNewswire/ -- What can you buy with a dollar anymore? Is $1 worth anything? How about a mammogram, doctor's appointment, and treatment for those who cannot afford to battle breast cancer? Fresh off a cross-country journey to promote early detection, Brandon Mendelson and the 1 in 8 Foundation are challenging five million Americans to show the world the power of $1 and provide care and complete support for women and men battling breast cancer in the worst economy ever seen. On www.thebrandonshow.com, Mendelson and the foundation are challenging five million Americans to donate $1 to a "100% transparent, 100% of the time" fund that will be used to pay for "360 degree care" for those in need. From the first visit to treatment and recovery, the foundation is there to cover it. The fund's balance sheet and how the money is used will be available through the 1 in 8 Foundation by mail, phone, or email request.
"My grandmother, Esther Mendelson, lost everything while battling cancer. She lost her home, all of her money, and there was nothing left for her during her battle. I don't want that to happen to anyone else," Brandon Mendelson said. "With the cost of cancer medication high and the number of Americans unemployed and without health insurance higher, the 1 in 8 Foundation wants to step up and provide 360 degree support for those battling breast cancer. And with a national wallet tightening occurring, we have made it so every single $1 donated is 100% transparent so our fellow Americans know their money won't be squandered."
Brandon Mendelson is organizing the five million American challenge from his home in Glens Falls, New York, recording daily production updates on his website and coordinating with his audience of over 170,000 on popular social networking website, Twitter. He is asking every town's mayor to proclaim May 16th, 2009, "Check

METAIRIE, La. Ben Grubbs spent only one year playing next to Jermon Bushrod, but that was long enough to learn one thing about the former Saints left tackle.
Bushrod knew exactly what he was doing as well as what everyone else was supposed to do.
'Jermon was a student of the game, watched a lot of film,' Grubbs said. 'He knew the offense, knew it well. Not only his part, not only his job, but he knew the job of all the offensive linemen. He played a big part in me being comfortable here.'
Alas, they spent that lone season together because Bushrod went to Chicago after signing a five-year contract worth nearly $7 million a season.
Sunday, at noon, Grubbs and the Saints (4-0) will face Bushrod, along with former line coach Aaron Kromer, for the first time.
It's not that Bushrod didn't want to stay his wife is from the New Orleans area it's that the Saints weren't willing to pay him what the Bears were able to. He understands the business side of the decision, however.
'Sometimes you just have to take the feelings out of it a little bit,' Bushrod said. 'It was tough because New Orleans meant a lot to me, still does being that my wife is from there and I won a Super Bowl there. But this is just another opportunity, another opportunity for my family, another opportunity for us and it is a special situation.'
Bushrod was thrust into the starting lineup during training camp in 2009 when Jammal Brown suffered a hip injury in combined practice with the Houston Texans. He never missed a game, starting 64 consecutive regular season games and 70 including the playoffs.
He protected Brees' blindside and was part of a line that was third-best in the NFL in not allowing sacks in 2012 and among the best since Bushrod began starting.
'Obviously, he was a part of that Super Bowl championship team, and a big part of it at the left tackle position,' Brees said. 'He was a mainstay. We all love Bush and wish him the best.'
Already Bushrod's presence has been well-received in Chicago's locker room.
'You know his personality; he's very even-keeled,' Bears coach Marc Trestman said. 'He loves the game; he works hard at it every day. He's all business and he's just added to what already was a great locker room. He's just brought more character to it and obviously he understands what it takes to win a championship.'
And again, he said, no hard feelings for the way things ended in New Orleans.
'It ended on good terms and even if it didn't end on good terms, I'm still appreciative of the opportunity,' Bushrod said. 'I am just going out here focusing on this team and doing whatever I can do to get this team a W.'

Great combination of Peace & Fun!
What a find! Our trip ended down a little gravel road when we arrived at this beautiful house on a lake, where the silence was incredible. The house was not just clean-- it was perfectly furnished & beautiful & ready for us, with a bright & rustic Maine feel but also a lot of comfort & class. The kids loved the adventure of the pond-- swimming out to the swimming rock, making sand castles, taking family kayak trips across the lake to find the baby loon in the late afternoon, and building fairy houses. The grown-ups loved the comfort of the house-- early morning coffee on the screen porch, a good soak in the hot tub, and late afternoon cocktails on the porch that looks out on the water through the evergreens. We all loved picking blueberries for blueberry pie, walking to the general store (the only store in town!) for pancake breakfast, and exploring the art galleries in Franklin the next town over. This is a great launching place, so you can stay at home and enjoy quiet Maine on the pond, or jump in the car and be at Acadia for the day or even half a day. Kathleen has taken great care to make sure guests are taken care of, leaving little notes around with hints & instructions, and a huge organized pile of information on all the outings you can take-- and before the trip was great with answering our many questions quickly & thoughtfully. It's clear she loves this house & property and wants renters to love it as much as she does, so she puts a lot into it. We feel so lucky to have found this place and will certainly be back!
Inexpensive Lakeside Retreat
Best feature was swimming and free canoeing at the lake. Nice and quiet. All the beds are on the 2nd floor in one room so no problem for the 5 of us since we get along great. The boiler only holds enough hot water for 2 people every hour or so. Owner very friendly and responsive. Thanks for the stay!!

"Next year I will go to somewhere less windy!"
:D Actually, it was not that windy. I did have a Migraine though (No coffee on camp grounds). This bird is a rare bird that sometimes makes it's way north of the usual range into the area I saw it.

after the fear subsided, I followed the directions of a previous fixer-upper. at first glance its hard to tell where the tubes are going, you need a spot lite to follow the tubes, be sure to reattach the tube to the clip under the freezer door or the job will fail. just pull the round disc down and the tube will separate, simply pull & push new tube in no tool needed for that. also use an electronic cleaner to clean dirt on motor and area.e

WEST VANCOUVER, B.C. — Shaun White and Conan O'Brien were talking, just one tomato to another, when the TV host offered some advice.
Click here for a slide show of Shaun White
Dude, like, lose the "Flying Tomato" nickname already. It's so 2006.
So White, an overwhelming favorite to defend his Olympic snowboard halfpipe title on Cypress Mountain on Wednesday night, is playing the name game these days, in search of not only a new nickname for himself but a handle for this latest gravity defying trick.
So far "The Animal" is the early leader in clubhouse.
"Apparently I resemble the drummer from the Muppets," White said with a shrug, his unruly mass of red hair escaping out from underneath a cap. "So I'm 'The Animal.' I guess I'm Shaun 'the Animal' White."
Or how about Red Zeppelin, as a teammate recently suggested?
After all, isn't White, the 23-year-old from Carlsbad, the ultimate Olympic rock star?
"He's not just in the snowboarding community big," said U.S. snowboarder Louis Vito. "He's mainstream big."
White is at least an $8 million a year industry with his own video game, with not one but two clothing lines, a line of eyewear and his own top secret mountain halfpipe site, which he was delivered to by helicopter. A pop icon whose mainstream appeal has been confirmed by endorsement deals with American Express and Target. A guitar pounding, 1260-degree spinning megastar with a double twist who celebrated his 2006 Olympic victory on the cover of, what else, Rolling Stone.

"I call him the Mike Jordan of boarding," said U.S. teammate Scotty Lago. "He's the best of the best."
"Shaun transcends the sport," said Ross Rebagliati, the first Olympic snowboard champion. "He's giant."
The question is, is White too big? Is he now too corporate to be cool? Is he too good for his and the sport's own good?
White has pushed the edge of the envelope so far with his latest trick, called for now, the double McTwist 1260, in which he does two head over heels midair flips over the 22-foot halfpipe while spinning through 31/2 revolutions, that many in and out of the sport fear he is flying into dangerous air space.
"Being the guy that's had a big hand in inventing these tricks, I'd say it's outrageous," White said, his voice rising in mock indignation. "It's tough to say. Obviously, there have been injuries that have happened to people who are close to us. We're under a magnifying glass. That's just a part of what we do. We fall. We get back up and try it again. That's the best part of our sport. You can take a crash, come back and succeed over it, and that's the best feeling you can have."
Safety concerns about the sport moved into the Olympic spotlight after White crashed on the top side of the halfpipe at the recent X Games in Aspen, leaving a strawberry size scrape on his left cheek.

The Alma Ata Declaration (1978), the outcome of a joint initiative by the WHO and the UNICEF, proclaimed that "the main social target of governments, international organisations and the whole world community in the coming decades should be the attainment by all peoples of the world by the year 2000 of a level of health that will permit them to lead a socially and economically productive life."
Now, three decades and more after the solemn declaration and ten years after the target date, the world is nowhere near the goal of "Health for All." The Infant Mortality Rate in Saharan Africa is well above the 100 mark. Even in countries like India, the growing strength of the economy is not reflected in the health care indices. It is time to visit the way health care is delivered in various countries and their impact on the population. The imperative is all the more because there is a consistent effort to privatise health care delivery systems globally.
State-sponsored health care system in Western Europe and the United Kingdom is passing, slowly but systematically, into private hands. In the United States, President Obama triumphed by promising a better health care delivery system that would not impoverish the uninsured.
In this book, renowned public health activists provide a critical analysis of the impact of neoliberal globalisation on health care. Neoliberal globalisation and privatisation of health care delivery systems across the world rests on two popular assumptions: cost-containment and improved efficiency.
Colin Leys, in his essay "Health, health care and capitalism", demolishes both these myths by citing several research papers to establish that privatised health care is neither cost effective nor more efficient than a state-sponsored one.
Hans-Ulrich Deppe makes a very valid point about competition in medicare. In a competition, there are winners as well as losers. In the realm of medicare, the losers are the chronically ill and the seriously ill. And these are the ones who need medical care and social support more than the others, and most urgently too. The impact of privatisation of medical research on medical ethics is remarkable.
Deppe cites a U.S. study that finds "every third researcher had committed a punishable crime in their own research during the last 3 years... due to pressure of the financial sponsors." He asserts that "health is not a commodity."
Skewed economy
In his essay on "Inequality and Health", David Coburn blames the skewed economic growth for the wide disparities in health indices between countries. If one is to understand why a child born in Swaziland is 30 times more likely to die before the age of five than a child born in Sweden, it is necessary to have some knowledge of the political economy of health care delivery systems. This is acknowledged by the WHO when it declares that "social injustice is killing people on a grand scale."
Kalman Applbaum speaks of what he calls "medicalisation" and 'pharmaceuticalisation" of the health care delivery system. Pharmaceutical sales, in recent years, have increased at a compounded annual rate of 10 per cent. This trend is attributable to the vigorous promotional campaign and sales drive the pharmaceutical majors launch to push their products.
He cites an instance where the money spent by a reputed company on promoting the sales of a certain drug in 2002 was 100 times that of the health budget of Haiti in that year.
The core message of the book is that mindless privatisation of the health care delivery system in various countries, which is the result of neoliberal globalisation, is counter-productive to achieving a reasonable level of health. The contributors seek to establish this by critically examining the reforms in the U.S., Western Europe, and Canada. They also mention specific diseases like HIV and malaria to prove their thesis. Mohan Rao, who takes a hard look at the Indian scenario, argues against the 'new political economy', which is threatening the marginalised and the poorer sections of the people.
On the positive side, how in the face of continued trade embargo by the U.S., Cuba has been able to achieve admirable improvement in health indices is documented. The reforms that are under way in China are also discussed in detail.
What emerges from this work is that there is no alternative to state-sponsored health care globally, if the goal of health-for-all is to be achieved, even if that should take some decades.

LG and Sony have both introduced Ultra high definition (UHD) TVs with 84-inch screens within the past three months and both are priced at US$20K or more. These monster televisions have 16:9 aspect ratio UHD screens (3840 x 2160 pixels). There are no more than a few hundred sets available worldwide, but even if a Christmas miracle happens and an 84-inch UHDTV makes its way under your tree, finding a video source to match the screen resolution could prove to be the real challenge.

John Lithgow joins Christopher Nolan's new sci-fi film 'Interstellar'
Impressive cast already includes Anne Hathaway, Matthew McConaughey and Michael CaineBuy DVD and Blu-ray
from Amazon UK
John Lithgow has landed a role in Interstellar, the forthcoming sci-fi film from Christopher Nolan.
The veteran actor joins an impressive-looking cast that already includes Anne Hathaway, Matthew McConaughey, Jessica Chastain, Michael Caine and Ellen Burstyn, TheWrap reports.
Interstellar is Christopher Nolan's first project as director since last year's The Dark Knight Rises, the concluding part of his Batman trilogy. He collaborated on the script with his brother Jonathan, who also contributed to two of the Batman screenplays and The Prestige.
Exact plot details are being kept under wraps but the story is said to follow a group of intrepid explorers who go through a "wormhole" into another dimension. Nolan is hoping to start shooting Interstellar next month (August) in Calgary, Canada. The film has already been given a release date of November 7, 2014.
Two-time Oscar nominee Lithgow's recent film appearances include This Is 40 and Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes. He won a Golden Globe in 2009 for his performance as a serial killer in season four of Dexter.

Alternative Spring Break for Law Students
Future attorneys use skill to help real clients' needs
"Lawyers have an ethical responsibility to serve the poor and unrepresented individuals. These law students have demonstrated early in their legal careers that they understand and share that professional value."
Christina A. Zawisza, director of the U of M Child and Family Litigation Clinic.
"I'm excited and I'm intimidated," first-year law student Erin Coates of Memphis reports on the heels of meeting her first client ever. "But mostly, I'm enthusiastic."
She's among 62 energized students from eight law schools -- 29 from University of Memphis -- digging into real-world issues at Alternative Spring Break, hosted during March by U of M's Cecil C. Humphreys School of Law in Downtown Memphis.
Students select one of four service tracks. Some assist with special-case immigration. Some help senior citizens write wills and health directives. Some draft public-interest legislation involving the mentally ill, money lending or human trafficking.
And some, such as Coates, assist in pro se divorce -- cases involving no children or property. Twenty-six divorce clients signed up for student lawyers to guide them through filling out forms, filing legal papers and getting court hearings. Volunteers -- 32 experienced attorneys for the four service tracks -- offer expertise, insight and oversight.
Divorce clients in this setting, says G. Michael Casey with Divorce Inc. of Collierville and Jackson, Tenn., generally are less emotional than they are frustrated. "They know they want a divorce. ... They may have tried and failed to get one."
"Many," adds mediator Hayden Lait of Memphis, "have been separated for years."
Through this venue, Lait says, a pro se divorce case may be finalized for only court costs: $301.50.
"We are seeing the underprivileged in our community," Coates says, "and we are making a difference in their lives."
Alternative Spring Break is a training ground, says clinical law professor Christina A. Zawisza, director of the U of M Child and Family Litigation Clinic. "This is one way to create 'practice ready' young lawyers.
"Lawyers have an ethical responsibility to serve the poor and unrepresented individuals. These law students have demonstrated early in their legal careers that they understand and share that professional value."
"The students," says Memphis attorney-volunteer Lanier Fogg, "are real concerned about being able to respond to the folks who are their clients."
Just then, student Coates approaches an attorney about divorce-form details for her client. "The questions students don't know," Fogg says, "hopefully we will know the answers."
Student jitters are normal, says third-year U of M law student Anna Benson of Lawrenceburg, Tenn. She is vice president of the Public Action Law Society, which organizes Alternative Spring Break.
"It's very scary the first time you talk to a client, because you realize they're really depending on you to know your stuff," says Benson, a legal secretary before law school. "All the students may make a mistake, but that's why we have these attorneys here to look over the work."
Immigration specialist and U of M law alumna Kimberly Sutton of Frager, Sutton, Haupt PLLC in Memphis, is volunteering on the service track for U-visa. A recent addition to the legal landscape, this special visa is designed to help illegal immigrants who have been victims of extremely violent crimes, have helped authorities investigate and prosecute, and who need protection.
Six such local cases were chosen carefully, says PALS president Atina Rizk of Memphis, a third-year U of M law student and daughter of Egyptian immigrants.
"We tried to take the worst cases," Rizk says. "These six are all women, all have been sexually abused -- even held against their will -- all have complied with the police, testified in court, and several have citizen children."
U-visa empowers abuse victims, explains Tom Williams of New York, a former special education teacher and second-year U of M law student. "These are people who are an asset to our society, and we want to make sure we can protect and reward them for their bravery and other contributions."
Because each U-visa case is lengthy (300-500 pages of documentation), costly and time-consuming, each is begun by certain student lawyers and carried forward by others who rotate in for their Alternative Spring Break. It's an unusual collaboration, Rizk says, among schools that usually fiercely compete.
Represented are law schools at the universities of Tennessee-Knoxville, Mississippi (Oxford), Toledo (Ohio), Valparaiso (Indiana), Southern (Louisiana), Nova Southeastern (Florida) and George Washington (St. Louis).

What's GNU: Texinfo
There are two ways to view Info files. (Remember, before you can view a texinfo file, you must create it from the .texi file using either makeinfo or texinfo-format-buffer.) The first is the stand-alone info viewer. This is a rather slick program, with menu completion features, the ability to split the screen to view multiple nodes, and much much more.
It requires a terminal or terminal emulator with cursor motion facilities. If you can run vi or Emacs in your window, or on your screen, then you can run info. The second is with the Info major mode in GNU Emacs. The Emacs Info viewer has almost all the features of the stand-alone info viewer, except the ability to split the screen and view multiple nodes.
As mentioned, info can also follow an infinite chain of cross references, allowing you to browse documentation to your heart's content.
There are several miscellaneous features that should be mentioned. First, you can write footnotes, using @footnote{...}. This creates real footnotes with TeX and a collection of footnotes at the end of the node with Info. If you absolutely must use fancy TeX features, then you can drop into pure TeX mode by bracketing your text with @tex and @end tex. In between these two statements, you must write in pure TeX, with backslash as the escape character, and so on.
Note that @tex and @end tex are different from the @iftex ... @end iftex commands mentioned earlier, which conditionally include text into the printed document.
Finally, there is a simple macro facility in Texinfo. Macros can be set with @set.
@set EDITION 1.23
The value can be retrieved with @value
This is Edition @value{EDITION} of ...
Macros can also be used as flags, for example to indicate if a version is a draft or not. The flags can be tested with @ifset ... @end ifset and @ifclear ... @end ifclear, which test if the macro is set or not, respectively.
@set DRAFT @ifset DRAFT @b{This is just a draft, please mark it up and send it back.} @end ifset @ifclear DRAFT Welcome to Edition @value{EDITION} of .... @end ifclear
The macro facility is particularly useful for the multiple cases near the front of a document where the title, edition number, and program version number are repeated. By using @value in all those places, you can use @set for the title, edition, and version, and only have to update the numbers once. This is a true time saver.
To generate printed documentation, you need to have TeX installed on your system. The texinfo.tex macros need to be in TeX's macro directory. You will also need to install a program named texindex, that comes with the Texinfo distribution, into a public bin directory, where everyone can get to it.
Texinfo files usually have a .texi extension. When TeX runs, it generates unsorted indices. The file name for the unsorted indices match the Texinfo file's name, with the .texi replaced with the two-letter name of the index. For example, the concept index for foogol.texi would be foogol.cp. The unsorted indices are not terribly useful. The texindex program sorts the indices into new files, whose names are the same as the index files, with an s on the end, e.g., foogol.cps. If these files exist, texinfo.tex will include them when TeX is run again.
The typical sequence is to run TeX three times, running texindex in between each run.
$ tex foogol.texi $ texindex foogol.?? $ tex foogol.texi $ texindex foogol.?? $ tex foogol.texi
The first run generates unsorted indices, and creates foogol.aux, which lists the page numbers of the nodes. This information is used to fill in the cross-references. The second run generates a complete DVI file, but unfortunately, the cross-references in it could be off by a page or so. The third run gets everything right, and at that point you can arrange to print the file. Typically, this is done with dvips, to generate PostScript.
$ dvips foogol.dvi -o foogol.ps $ lpr foogol.ps # or however you print
The Texinfo distribution comes with a shell script named texi2dvi that will figure out how many times TeX should be run. If it has been installed, it is probably the easiest thing to use.
If you don't have TeX, another option is to use a separate package called texi2roff. This reads Texinfo files and generates Troff input that can be processed with GNU Troff (groff). You have your choice of Troff macro packages, -me, -ms, and -mm.
TeX is preferred to texi2roff, but at least the latter is an option. The generated Troff may need some massaging by hand, but should otherwise be fairly usable. Unfortunately, the most recent version of texi2roff is considered obsolete, and is no longer being distributed by the FSF.
Also of note is a package called LaTexinfo, which is a set of LaTeX macros and a modified version of makeinfo for doing the same thing as texinfo.tex and the regular makeinfo. Texinfo files are not compatible with LaTexinfo, unfortunately. Use archie to find a recent copy of LaTexinfo if you prefer to use LaTeX.
good, thanks for information
also recommend buying and reading the Texinfo manual from the FSF. It is well-written and thorough. You will need to do this anyway if you plan to write a large Texinfo file, as this article has just scratched the surface.

To get slib2a6 working with scsh-0.4.2 (based on
Scheme48-0.36, I belive), I had to replace all the
"#(" lexemes with "(vector " and do some clean up
for cases where the vector was quoted.
This got SLIB working reasonably well.
Hi Peter what are you talking about? I don't understand a word.
In my department we have about 300 pages of notes for our freshman
courses typeset in Word with the equation editor. The layout is
really bad. I believe it should all be in TeX in the long term - many of
the equations are hard to read and inconsistently typeset (e.g. a\sin x
looks like roman "asinx", double quotes for second derivative; it
may have been poorly done in Word, though). Unfortunately our
secretary is only now starting to learn TeX.
1. Is there a Word-to-TeX conversion program?
2. What about all the included figures?
3. Should I just forget the whole thing?
It sounds like some people here have changed over from Word to Tex and
might have some ideas.
Great tool
I use it for myself all the time.

Here are 10 things you should know for Wednesday, June 25:
1. -- U.S. stock futures are pointing to a flat open on Wall Street Wednesday amid ongoing violence in Iraq.
European and Asian stocks declined, as rising tensions in the Middle East as well as Ukraine rattled investors and global indices.
2. -- The economic calendar in the U.S. on Wednesday includes durable-goods orders for May at 8:30 a.m. EDT, and the third estimate of first-quarter GDP at 8:30 a.m.

JGD 82: Last Hurrah
Kevin McCartney
April 11 2014 04:16PM
It's been a frustrating season for Jets fans. A confounded coach and the league's worst starting netminder are all that stood in the way of hosting playoff hockey at the MTS Centre. Again. The lines were maddening, the AHL call-ups confusing, and the injuries seemingly ill-timed. And James Wright never did get that first goal of the year. Aww shucks.
But it's always hard to say goodbye to another season of Jets hockey. Just five months until training camp.
Hockey's Forward Linkages: The predicted failure of the Leafs in perspective
Kevin McCartney
April 09 2014 03:35PM
Photo by Shahid Bhinder
The hockey world is in spasm at the moment. It is moving in many directions at once, with those invested in any given direction actively claiming theirs should be called 'forward.' It can feel at times as though movements are connected - that the future of violence in hockey, for instance, rests within the larger presumed paradigm shift from positional, body-focused hockey to possession-based, puck-focused hockey. More often than not, however, those connections are more personal than real, hanging together by the nature of having electrified meat to do our thinking.
In fact, insofar as a paradigm shift is underway at all (we'll unpack that later), it's neither clear which analytics will change how the game is played, nor what will happen to the honoured method of personal accounts to evaluate players. More prominently, we can't know what hockey will look like for our children or grandchildren. It's not the coordinated movement of a dance troupe of Excel users. It's a spasm.
In these moments, it's important to study the process of change: how we get from here to there.
Bittersweet Goodbye

My tenth season as the in-game announcer for the Winnipeg
Jets (and Manitoba Moose) under the True North banner; tonights game will be my last. Tonight marks the end of a journey that I
began shortly after I moved the city of Winnipeg. I was doing the ring announcing for ESPN's
Friday Night Fights, Lalonde vs. Hill at (then) Canwest Park. I was approached by Kyle Balharry to audition
for the vacant PA announcers job for the upcoming Manitoba Moose hockey
season. After losing out to Jay Richardson,
the current PA announcer, I had asked if they were holding auditions for their
in-game announcer. I was informed that
there was no in-game announcer due to budget restraints, and that they use
their current 'Moosekateers' to do the contesting. I offered my services for free, as I had done so for the
Lloydminster Blazers of the AJHL and the Calgary Hitmen of the WHL in years

|Evaluation of the Private Forestland Ownership Paracelization and its effects on the forest landscape in the southeastern Missouri Ozarks
|Ko, Dong Wook
|University of Missouri--Columbia
|This study investigates the impacts of the forestland ownership parcelization on species composition, age structure and spatial pattern of the forest landscape. First, a computer model was developed to create ownership patterns characterized by the actual shape and size. Model is validated and applied to simulate ownership patterns with various parcelization levels. Second, a transition matrix model is used to characterize the changes in forestland ownership parcelization. Results suggest a strong tendency towards further parcelization, characterized by parcel size classes smaller than 100 ha, and reveals the contributions from purchases by the Pioneer Forest. Third, the harvest regimes in a parcelized ownership landscape is spatially implemented for a forest landscape model --LANDIS -- to evaluate their effects on forest composition, age structure, and spatial pattern. Results suggest that changes will be dominated by the successional process, with significant but limited effects from parcelization levels and harvest intensities.

Clothing Suggestion
Clothing Suggestion:
Warm woolens during winter
Ladies are required to cover the head, as per local sensitivities
Health Concern:
Use bottled mineral water only
Summer (July - September) - Temperature 25 to 41°C
Autumn (September - Nov.) - Temperature 12 to 25°C
Winter (November - April) - Temperature -4 to 15°C
The temperatures shown here are from Kabul. These vary for various geographical parts of the country
TV Tower Hill,
For a 360 degree view of the city, there is no better spot than the top of `tv tower hill'.
I went up a few times to get the usual establishing city shot on each of my trips to Kabul. Its an interesting drive, up a dusty dirt track. Will take you about 20 mins of driving time to reach the top, but the views are rewarding. You can see on two sides of the hill and register how the city shapes up around the hill.
It could be pretty hazy on a regular day, and the sky and earth merge witha shade of grey and brown... but on a day just after it has rained, you`re more likely to get a great and clear view.

Old British Fort
If you are interested in old British Military History in Kabul find your way to the British Fort.
There is now an Afghan Militia Regiment living in it but if you ask nicely (with some dollars maybe?!) they might let you in to wander the ramparts.
Or you can just wander around and look from the outside!
View Points
If you get to Kabul you must climb some of those hills that are dotted around the city to treat yourself to some of the best views. Early dawn is best before the Smog arrives from the traffic.
BEWARE: some of the hills are old army strong points so there still is a risk of landmines, but stick to the paths or follow a local and you should be fine!!!
My personal favourite is the view south from the Kings Tomb.
`The Ariana Graveyard'
Its probably going to be one of the first thing you see on arrival, just as you make your way out towards town after exiting Kabul Airport. There is a huge heap of aircraft to the right of the road. Much of it is the result of international coalition bombings and the battles that the warlords have fought over the years prior to that.
Its quite a bizzarre sight, when you think that its the same airline that brought you into Afghanistan and you were airborne barely 30 mins ago!
- Business Travel
Carpet Shopping
Take you time, have a bit of chit chat with people who have seen things and been through the most unimaginable things.....and yet still they are filled with hospitality and hope. Its very humbling. Not only to you get traditional Afghan hospitality, if you play your cards right, you will come out with a beautiful, unique carpet to keep forever.
Go to a nice park in Kabul
There is a great park named 'Park Shahr-e Nawin' the middle of Kabul (near Chicken Street). I was there on a friday (Oct '03)) when kids aren't in school and are riding bikes and playing soccer(futbol).
It was nice just to grab a bench and watch.
I did talk to a couple boys who confirmed that under the Taliban they weren't able to play in the park, and were happy that life was more secure at present.

- Budget Travel
Check out the Palace across from the Kabul Museum
On the road out to the Kabul Museum, you see an imposing building on a hill. This is the former palace, which is directly across the street from the Kabul Museum.
In any functional sense, the palace has been completely destoyed, though still has some floors and stairs in tact, allowing anyone to roam around.
Very impressive (and a little creepy)
- Budget Travel
- Castles and Palaces
Kabul Museum (to reopen Spring 2005)
Without knowing the museum is being renovated, I took a taxi 6 miles out to check it out. I was graciously (unofficially) invited in to see the few statues that have already been reassembled (even though they were under a kind of bubble wrap) after the Taliban regime. I was told there were more being worked on that were in many many pieces.
National Geographic was parked outside too, so expect something coming out in this soon.
Pul-e Khishti Mosque
Standing in the centre of old Kabul, the Pul-e Khishti Mosque was originally erected in the late 18th Century, but largely rebuilt under Zahir Shah in the late 1960s. Its can be picked out by its large blue dome but is otherwise architecturally indistinct, a mix of international modern style punctuated with traditional Afghan tiling. (http://www.kabulcaravan.com)

King's Tomb
The Kings Tomb is set on the Sesung heights that are to the east of the city center. This enourmous old marble faced structure is quite a site to see!
Cameras from the Middle Ages
Yo should try to be photographed on one of the many old cameras around Kabul. The Results make anyone look like they are from time of 1920's or so. Very unusual. See my member photo for the result.

Your ticket to Scripps' private pier
Walk this way: Before she unlocked the industrial-strength gate, aquarium educator and naturalist Danielle Carter had a few safety announcements to make.
"Obviously, stay on the pier," Carter said, in case anyone was feeling daredevil-ish. Also, keep your hands off the research equipment; keep your head, hands and body on the pier side of the guard wire; and keep an eye out for dorsal fins.
According to Carter, the best sea-life views are off the right side of the pier, but I'm giving my best-view vote to the end of the pier, which has become the favored perch of a beautiful female osprey. One look at those talons, and you won't miss the dorsal fins.
"She's super-friendly," said Birch naturalist Bekah Logan. "And she's there all the time."
Choose your adventure: Once you're on the pier, your time and your schedule are your own. The participation-wary are welcome to just soak up the striking scenery and considerable moonlight. If you are feeling ambitious, there are hands-on activity tables, where staff members might ask if you'd like to dissect a squid (No pressure!) or help dig through clumps of mussels for crabs and other sea creatures.
Or you can lurk and listen as the Birch educators give participants the skinny on such subjects as shark teeth, the latest in plankton studies, and the squid's amazing donut-shaped brain.
"Oh my gosh, the doughnut brain! That was so exciting to hear about," said Lisa Fabula of La Jolla, a Birch Aquarium member and first-time pier visitor. "Now I've got to go see that moon."
The verdict: Whether you are an impressionable tourist or a seen-it-all local, the Full Moon Pier Walk is the rare VIP event that feels exclusive and special. And not just because it's a velvet-rope experience with a flip-flop friendly dress code.
"When I look back at the hills, it feels like we're in someplace European. You don't get this view very often," said Fabula's cousin Connie Arnson, who lives in the East County. "I grew up in San Diego and I've seen this pier forever, but I had no idea all of this was going on out here. This is just amazing."
