Exhibit A in the case for not believing everything you read in the WikiLeaks cables is this September 2008 dispatch from the U.S. Consulate in Shanghai.
The cable, signed by the consulate's Christopher Beede and titled "SHANGHAI SCHOLARS EXPRESS CONCERN OVER DELAY IN SIX-PARTY TALKS," looks to be a fairly ho-hum summary of a meeting with a group of Chinese North Korea-watchers.
But there's one bizarre throwaway line (my emphasis):
According xxxxx, the nuclear declaration North Korea submitted in May was incomplete. xxxxx claims that critical information about secret underwater nuclear facilities located on North Korea's coast. For this reason, a debate has emerged within the Chinese leadership over the merits of quick U.S. delisting, xxxxx continues. One camp believes that continued momentum in the Six-Party Talks is critical to their success, and has concluded that Washington must adopt a more flexible attitude. The other camp, however, has taken the incomplete nuclear declaration as evidence that the regime in Pyongyang is truly "a ticking time bomb," and regard Washington's tough stance on verification as a potential opportunity to finally deal with a persistent regional irritant.
Say what? Secret underwater nuclear facilities? Has this Chinese scholar been watching too many Bond movies?
Yonhap, the South Korean news agency, quotes an anonymous Korean Foreign Ministry official dimissing the story as "hard to believe." The Chosun Ilbo, a conservative paper that will print almost anything that makes North Korea look bad, quotes another official flatly saying the cable "is not true."
That's not all that's in this particular cable, however. It also relays one Shanghai expert's claim that North Korean leader Kim Jong Il "has a long history of recreational drug use that has resulted in frequent bouts of epilepsy and contributed to his poor health overall."

Case Study: Melanchthon
Melanchthon Standardizes with EVault Plug-n-Protect
Melanchthon in its present form is a result from the merger of Christian College Hainaut and Melanchthon College. Melanchthon secondary school serves 3,000 students on nine sites in four cities (Rotterdam, Bergschenhoek, BerkelRodenrijs, and Bleiswijk) in The Netherlands. The duties of the school's Director of IT, Martin Wiersma, include ensuring the school's applications remain up and running, and that student and staff data is backed up and recoverable, at all times at each site.
Over the years, the school's IT infrastructure developed independently at each of its nine campuses. For example, servers resided in multiple locations and ran different operating systems.
In early 2009, Wiersma and his team began exploring ways to update the Melanchthon's tapebased data backup and recovery solution, which was inadequate in several ways. It could not properly back up the school's Novell GroupWise email system, it required four or more hours of staff time for daily backups at each site, and the entire system, storing more than 4TB of critical data, was vulnerable to disaster.
"Each of the nine sites had to sequentially run a daily tape-based backup," notes Wiersma. "Tapes became faulty. Data was missed. Staff forgot to run the backup. I never felt confident of a full system backup. And when we did a restore, it often took a whole day to find the data we needed, and another day to restore it."
Wiersma knew the school needed a flexible, reliable solution that could grow alongside Melanchthon and adapt to its evolving needs.
Integrating a new backup and recovery system into the school's existing IT environment would not be easy. Melanchthon relied on a mixed, 13-server Novell NetWare and Microsoft Windows infrastructure—the Windows system ran SQL Server and Exchange Server—to support a number of unique educational applications across its network. All nine sites were connected via a wide area network and used the Novell GroupWise email system.
A new backup and recovery solution also had to meet the human, as well as technical, needs of the school. "The existing system was administered largely by the teaching or maintenance staff," says Wiersma. "Teachers were denied valuable teaching and class preparation time. And maintenance staff often lacked the skills to successfully administer the backup."
Wiersma wanted a system that would free up staff time, one that could be managed centrally and quickly—rather than by nine individuals in nine locations.
Finally, the new system had to meet quality-of-service and budgetary goals. "I needed a system I could set and forget, one that could perform a full system backup each night without me worrying it would miss important information," states Wiersma. "And the school IT budget is limited, so I needed pre-configured hardware and storage to deliver significantly lower costs than I could get by purchasing separate components."
With all this in mind, Wiersma approached Avantage in The Netherlands, a reseller partner of EVault, A Seagate Company. Avantage recommended EVault's EVault® Plug-n-Protect, an all-inone backup and recovery appliance comprising pre-configured hardware and storage plus a comprehensive suite of EVault backup and recovery software.
Wiersma quickly grasped the cost and deployment benefits afforded by a single vendor's allin- one appliance. The cost was lower than purchasing components separately, and Wiersma would get a single point of contact for hardware and storage support. And he was impressed by the solution's disk-to-disk technology, wide platform and application support, ease of use, and deduplication, compression, and encryption capabilities.
Wiersma felt confident the system could easily and economically grow beyond 6TB of storage— data storage is increasing as the school's infrastructure becomes more complex—as well as protect its Windows (including SQL Server and Exchange Server) and NetWare systems.
Mid-year in 2009, EVault and Advantage teamed up to install, in less than 48 hours, EVault Plug-n- Protect offsite in Avantage's data center to protect the entire Melanchthon infrastructure. "It was pain-free," notes Wiersma, who, along with his team, can now remotely manage the system on a day-to-day basis.
Six months later, Wiersma and Melanchthon are very happy with the results.
Teaching staff managing backups, maintenance staff loading tapes, hours wasted working on an unreliable system—all are things of the past. "The system continues to go from strength to strength, protecting over 4TB of data each night within two to three hours," says Wiersma. "The teaching and maintenance staff can now concentrate on their full-time jobs and leave the data backup to me."
Wiersma and his team enjoy a centralized and reliable backup solution. "We were the first school in Europe to implement EVault Plug-n-Protect, and we are delighted with the results," comments Wiersma. "I have complete peace of mind knowing that if we need the data, it will be there. I estimate our EVault solution has reduced staff backup time by 95 percent."
Wiersma says his experience with EVault could not have been better. "We have 13 agents, several unique applications backing up to one device, and numerous file servers," he says. "This is one of the most complicated IT infrastructures imaginable and we have not had a single problem with EVault."
Melanchthon is on strong footing for the future as well. "We protect 4TB each night and have capacity to do more," says Wiersma. "As our infrastructure changes and develops, so will Plug-n- Protect, adapting and working with us. It gives me huge confidence that our needs are being met today and tomorrow."

Anyone heard of this game? It's still in alpha and is on Kickstarter right now. Looks pretty awesome and has a lot of potential. The voxel terrain is interesting. Dig and the terrain is removed, deforming the terrain, rather than using blocks, Minecraft style. You can also then build using ores that you have mined. Combat looks like some basic real time RPG stuff, and it could turn out to be better than the average combat that generally appears in games like this.

The president, as usual, acts as if all of this is totally unconnected to him. He's shocked, it's unacceptable, he'll get to the bottom of it. He read about it in the papers, just like you. […]It was the third guy in the last row of the sleepy agency across town that did it, though. Nobody is seriously suggesting the White House had anything to do with it—and even firing the acting agency head is a bit scapegoatish, since it's not clear he had any awareness of the process either, until the IRS investigated itself and figured out what was going on. It requires quite the rhetorical bank shot to presume the president sets the "tone" for what civil servants he's never even heard of before have done wrong, while dismissing the "tone" set by the president specifically denouncing it and canning people.
A president sets a mood, a tone. He establishes an atmosphere. If he is arrogant, arrogance spreads. If he is too partisan, too disrespecting of political adversaries, that spreads too. Presidents always undo themselves and then blame it on the third guy in the last row in the sleepy agency across town.
The real problem, though, arises when Peggy Noonan adopts the now-stereotypical pose of the conspiracy theorist. It's all a plot, you see. It's intended to "suppress" the administration's opponents. Not the AP business, because even Peggy Noonan can't get worked up about that, she just had to toss it in there because that's what expected. No, what the IRS scandal shows is that from now on, all conservatives who get in trouble with the IRS for dodgy dealings will have done so because the mean president and his cruel government functionaries are have it in for them. That not-even-remotely-original conspiracy theory is exactly what Peggy Noonan is going with, below the fold:
In order to suppress conservative groups—at first those with words like "Tea Party" and "Patriot" in their names, then including those that opposed ObamaCare or advanced the second amendment—the IRS demanded donor rolls, membership lists, data on all contributions, names of volunteers, the contents of all speeches made by members, Facebook posts, minutes of all meetings, and copies of all materials handed out at gatherings. Among its questions: What are you thinking about? Did you ever think of running for office? Do you ever contact political figures? What are you reading?Here's the thing, though. Organizations applying for tax-exempt status aren't supposed to be overtly political. I realize that nobody gives a flying damn about that, in real life, and that the law gets openly flouted by all of the biggest, wealthiest names in election-rigging, but it's not entirely surprising that some poor bastards in an IRS office, upon noticing a veritable flood of new supposedly nonpartisan organizations all with near-identical names and near-identical, deeply political sounding mission statements, suspect that some of these groups are maybe not quite clear on the whole "you're not supposed to be primarily a political outfit" bit of nonprofit law. The main outrage seems to be that these groups weren't just given the same blanket permission to ignore the law that the bigger, older electioneers have recently been wallowing in, is that it?
And are we really going to be surprised that in the process of determining which organizations applying for non-political, tax exempt status might be political, they are going to be asked questions about their political status? Are we acting shocked, now, that dealing with the IRS can, for nonprofits, sometimes be a tremendous pain in the ass? That they ask for ridiculous amounts of paperwork? Many of the people acting the most shocked are politicos who have had no small involvement with the various 501 groups themselves—if they are unaware of the hoop-jumping that is sometimes asked for, it is because they were living in a chauffeured box.
The second part of the scandal is the auditing of political activists who have opposed the administration. The Journal's Kim Strassel reported an Idaho businessman named Frank VanderSloot, who'd donated more than a million dollars to groups supporting Mitt Romney. He found himself last June, for the first time in 30 years, the target of IRS auditors. His wife and his business were also soon audited. Hal Scherz, a Georgia physician, also came to the government's attention. He told ABC News: "It is odd that nothing changed on my tax return and I was never audited until I publicly criticized ObamaCare."Peggy then lists a few more examples of people who were (1) conservative and (2) audited. The natural assumption is that the relationship must of course be causal. Who ever heard of a non-conservative being audited? Who ever heard of somebody criticizing ObamaCare and getting audited by the IRS as two separate, unrelated events?
This seems to be where we're going on this one. Conservatives already convinced that the government is out to get them are now quite assured that yes, anything that has happened to them means the government is out to get them. Their petty, crabby involvement with politics is so important that mighty eye of government cannot help but notice them, and oppress them. You can find a thousand or ten thousand or several tens of thousands of non-conservatives who have likewise been audited by the IRS in recent years, and it won't matter: Those audits will be run-of-the-mill, apolitical things, but audits of conservatives are, of course, a conspiracy. Noonan has just stumbled upon the realization that conservatives consider their every interaction with the government to be a black-helicoptered vendetta. She thinks this is a new thing. She believes them.
One of these days it's going to dawn on a conservative that in the same year they once criticized a Democrat, they got involved in a car accident. Did the government tamper with their side-view mirrors? In the same year as they donated to a conservative candidate, the fast-food joint around the corner got cited for health violations. Was it government agents trying to poison them? Other people might consider one audit in 30 years to be a damn good record—to an irritated Idaho millionaire, the one time he is audited becomes evidence of a conspiracy against him.
All of these IRS actions took place in the years leading up to the 2012 election. They constitute the use of governmental power to intrude on the privacy and shackle the political freedom of American citizens. The purpose, obviously, was to overwhelm and intimidate—to kill the opposition, question by question and audit by audit.I never thought I'd say this, but I do believe Peggy Noonan is being a bit maudlin here. Really, this was evidence of an attempt to kill the opposition via irritating paperwork, thus making acquiring nonprofit status cumbersome? That was the grand plan? There was a grand plan?
It is not even remotely possible that all this was an accident, a mistake. Again, only conservative groups were targeted, not liberal.Horseshit. Sorry, but it's simply not true. Non conservatives and (even liberal!) groups have reported the same scrutiny , and some had their tax-exempt status denied. Read the damn news. Even to the extent "Tea Party"-named groups were grouped together, it was because there was suddenly so many of them popping up that grouping them together sounded to someone like a good idea. I have every expectation that if several hundred groups all named "Republicans Haveth The Cooties" all started seeking tax-exempt status from the IRS at the same time, that would also have gotten a bit of attention.
It is not even remotely possible the actions were the work of just a few agents. This was more systemic. It was an operation. The word was out: Get the Democratic Party's foes.There's a fine line between acknowledging that some IRS officials badly screwed up in their classification system for investigating nonprofits—specifically, that grouping them by apparently political motivations of their names, no matter how convenient, was going to bite them—and presuming a master plan to not just group them, but target them in particular, and target all sorts of random conservatives around the country who maybe once said bad things about ObamaCare, and that it was obviously a grand conspiracy hatched at the highest levels of the government. And by "fine line," I mean there isn't a "fine line" at all, I was lying. One is what happened. The other is John Bircher crackpottery, the same paranoia that has elevated things like "Agenda 21" and "the government is hoarding bullets so that godfearing American gun lovers can't get any" into actual supposed arguments.
Why is it so all-fired important that every bad thing government be manufactured into the biggest possible bad thing? Why is Benghazi (yes, Noonan mentions Benghazi, possibly due to contract obligations with the voices in her head) so very certain to be a "scandal," no matter how many times Republican promoters open that curtain only to reveal, yet again, nothing behind it? Is there some flair for the melodramatic, for the grand operatic solo of woe and catastrophe, that is so required by the conservative philosophy that its practitioners would shrivel and die if not constantly pointing and shrieking at every shaking leaf, deeming it to be a bear? This is like a horror movie in which there is no actual horror, only a group of paranoid, possibly drunken teens being frightened by shadows.
And it would be shameful and shallow for any Republican operative or operator to make this scandal into a commercial and turn it into a mere partisan arguing point and part of the game. It's not part of the game. This is not about the usual partisan slugfest.Then stop doing it. Nobody's forcing you to. It's perfectly possible to assert that agents inside the IRS did something wrong, or even that high-level officials inside the IRS did something wrong, without then jumping to the assumption that conservatives everywhere are being audited because they said bad things about the president. It's perfectly reasonable to demand answers as to why this happened and how the IRS can better blind itself to (sigh) partisan political activity masquerading as nonpartisan nonpolitical activity, or however the hell they're supposed to do that, without presuming cogs and wheels and other machinations behind every door. Not everything is Watergate. Not everything needs to be desperately pumped up into the worstest thing ever. Not everything requires bending the truth into a conspiracy theory just because rabid partisanship demands even supposed deep-thinkers engage in the conspiracy theories.
Grow the hell up, in other words. Stop tickling the ears of every addled conspiracy theorist in the country just because you can. Nobody is asking for punditry to be nonpartisan (heavens, we can't even get nonpartisan-ness from groups swearing on the American Tax Bible that they won't be partisan, that's how asinine we've all quite happily agreed to be) but it would be nice if the smart-sounding people on the newspaper pages didn't actively Make Shit Up.

|Phosphinimines as potential technetium environmental sensors
|Arrigo, Leah M., 1979-
|University of Missouri--Columbia
|Phosphinimines, R₃P=NSiMe₃, undergo hydrolysis to form the phosphiniminiumcation, R₃P=NH₂+, which forms the ion pair [R₃P=NH₂+][X-] in the presence of an anion.Preliminary studies show that in the presence of TcO₄-, Ph₃P=NSiMe₃ forms [Ph₃P=NH₂+][TcO₄-] and [Ph₃P=NH₂+] is selective for TcO₄- over other anions.Technetium-99 is present as environmental contamination in the form of ⁹⁹TcO₄-, which is extremely mobile. Currently available methods to measure this contamination are time consuming and tedious. A method to preconcentrate and measure ⁹⁹Tc environmental contamination in a quick and efficient manner is needed. The selectivity of the phosphiniminium cation for TcO₄- may make phosphinimines suitable for such preconcentration and possibly for measurement. Several phosphinimines were synthesized and characterized for their stability and selectivity with ⁹⁹TcO₄-, including Ph₃P=NSiMe₃, (9-anthracenyl)Ph₂P=NSiMe₃, (1-napthyl)Ph₂P=NSiMe₃, and (p-COOMe)C₆H₄Ph₂P=NSiMe₃. (9-anthracenyl)Ph₂P=NSiMe₃ and (1-napthyl)Ph₂P=NSiMe₃ include possible reporter groups and (p-COOMe)C₆H₄Ph₂P=NSiMe₃ contains a linking moiety for incorporating reporter groups or attaching the phosphinimine to a polymer support. The use of internal and external reporter groups to generate a signal in the presence of TcO₄- is also investigated.

Focus SVT Transmission problem
Test drove a Focus SVT, and could not get it into 6th gear. like almost felt like it wasn't there, but there was room to move it in the area where it should be, just would not stay there, or catch on the 6th gear. All the other gears seems to work fine. Anyone have experience with this? or know what it could be? i researched a bit and it maybe a simple cable adjustment problem. Basically what are the likely causes? Just wanna make sure its not anything major.

He's already had feeding therapy privately, and he's probably gotten all he can out of that. What I'm seeing he needs now is something to help him with social interaction, social anxiety, as well as understanding social cues on how other people feel. He only "gets it" when it's very very obvious, like a big smile or a big frown. Anything else and he's lost. I'm not sure what kind of therapy would help that, and I'm certainly the wrong one to be helping him there.
Kim mama to DS 12/2005, Pepper kitty , and 10/03, 1/05;
Just wanted to give you a hug! My first cousin is autistic and my nephew has sensory integration issues. It is always an uphill battle it seems.
I don't know of local resources, but I can post on the national HMN loop if you like. Just shoot me an email and I can put it up and then send you the responses.
Let me know
Sedj - yeah, it has been pretty much uphill for the last 4 1/2 years, though things have kind of leveled off a bit this past year. I'm just taking it one day at a time. Not sure what else I'd ask for on the HMN forum. Guess I'm just not sure who we need to see right now. Since KK is known for their work in this area, I kinda figured they might be the ones to get an official diagnosis from, whether or not we do any treatment for it. I was hoping they might at least point me in the right direction.
Kim mama to DS 12/2005, Pepper kitty , and 10/03, 1/05;
Our eval was with a neuropsych and lasted all day. She did testing in the AM, we had a break for lunch and then she did testing again in the PM. She evaluated him alone (not with us and not with other kids.) Afterwards, she sat down with us for a little while to give us her impression.
About 2 weeks later we got her written report which was fairly extensive and we had a follow-up phone appt where she went over the report.
She did pretty much dismiss SPD, which bugged me a bit since that is his primary problem and he has since been diagnosed with SPD as his primary diagnosis (she dx ADHD and a language disorder). Despite this, I did think it was a good eval and I would recommend them. I understand SPD is not a vaild dx and therefore many practitioners are not going to diagnose it. That's just the way it is.
We had to wait about 9 months for the appt. She wants to see him again in 2 years for a follow-up and I will definitely take him back for that.
Good luck!
Kim mama to DS 12/2005, Pepper kitty , and 10/03, 1/05;
I took her SPD/OT comments with a grain of salt. She is obviously not a "believer" of SPD and that is OK. I do believe in it and I think that is my son's main problem (as I said, he has since be dx with SPD by a developmental pediatrician).
The testing at KK revealed my son's slow processing speed which has been key to understanding him. While his IQ is normal, his processing speed came out at around 80 (normal is 100). This put him at around the 20th percentile. In a few isolated areas (language related) his processing speed was at the 1st percentile which of course is greatly affecting him. He is always a few seconds behind everyone else. It takes him longer to process any type of info - whether it is auditory, visual, etc and then act on it. So his communication, motor planning, etc are all affected. The KK doctor gave us a list of recommendations to help deal with that as well as his other symptoms.
I have found going to several different doctors with different backgrounds has given me a more complete picture of what is going on with my son - who doesn't have a clear-cut dx and whose symptoms are kind of a grab-bag from so many different disorders.
As I said, I did like KK and will return for the follow-up.
Good luck!
Yeah it is a hike. I do not mind though because I know I can trust them. Right now everything has been an eval. We will be starting private speech (he gets some at school right now) and that will be local. Also if he need OT it will be local. We are going back for bahavioral but since I live so far it will most likley be only once a month or every 3 weeks. Whatever I feel like we need she is willing to do so that is nice. Also the developental doc we saw first would like to see him every 6 months to see how we are and monitor him for anxiety which she thinks he might be at higher risk of developing which I had never thought of but TOTALLY agree with.
So far I am ver happy with everything. I think it has been a wonderful experiance and everyone has been great. The OT is this Friday and I am very nervouse/anxious/excited. It is going to be a long day since we also have the other behavioral appt in the afternoon but I think it will be ok.
Overall I am really happy with everything and would recommend them in a heartbeat!
My son was evaluated at KK Center for Autism and Related Disorders. The intake questioning was fairly extensive and I think that's how they decide who you will see, how extensive the eval will be, etc. After the intake call, they call you back later with your appt and the name of the doctor you will be seeing.
Our eval was with a neuropsych and lasted all day. She did testing in the AM, we had a break for lunch and then she did testing again in the PM. She evaluated him alone (not with us and not with other kids.) Afterwards, she sat down with us for a little while to give us her impression.
About 2 weeks later we got her written report which was fairly extensive and we had a follow-up phone appt where she went over the report.
I was very pleased with their reports in that they're so detailed that I was able to advocate or Early Intervention services and district services better with their reports to back me up. They kinda can't argue with KK.
Kim mama to DS 12/2005, Pepper kitty , and 10/03, 1/05;
How do you all do this? Did your insurance cover it? We need feeding help with our son; he has a very limited diet, constipation, sensory issues, etc...we're five hours away from KK but it's possible, we'll do it.
For feeding therapy, we started with EI services (he was 11 months old when we started) - we tried them for about a year. However, in our case they didn't turn out to be helpful. Then I waited months for the Children's Hospital feeding program in DC, and they were no help either. (They told me the breastfeeding was the problem , and their therapy was totally behavioral. I wasn't impressed with their nutritionist either.)
So I looked for a local speech therapist who specialized in feeding therapy. (They are few and far between!) We found a great one locally (who came to our house!). She did not take insurance, but we submitted receipts anyway (we have a PPO plan that has some out of network reimbursement) and they paid some. It was worth it, since feeding is so important. I called around to ALL the PTs and OTs I knew or even just knew of (check your insurance listing and call all kinds of therapists with questions). I asked them specifically for the kind of therapist I was looking for. I needed her to work with our breastfeeding, and not tell me that was what was causing the problem. I also didn't want behavioral therapy, I wanted play-based therapy, which worked well for our DS.
When we go to KK, I am specifically going to avoid having him do further feeding therapy through them, as I understand it's behavioral there. I am going for the diagnosis, and to help his social and anxiety issues.
Kim mama to DS 12/2005, Pepper kitty , and 10/03, 1/05;
My kids and I are leaving friday for a month at KKI, tuning up his home program. I do have to say his first doc was not real communicative, but he was suspected initially as having a metabolic dx, (her specialty) when that wasn't the case she just didn't get too involved. His new doc Wilms-Floet is FANTASTIC. She is very communicative, answers her emails, and has worked to get my four year old good care. We currently live in a backwater in eastern washington (great for my typical kid, and great for my ASD kid if he didn't need to be educated or have speech therapy). My husband used to be an attending at hopkins and I did rotations there, and we knew we would trust the diagnosis if it came from KKI. They are at the forefront of early intervention (there was a one year old from the Maldives there) kids from Lebanon, Senegal, South Africa, and even us from Washington come and get a good diagnosis and treatment plan then go back to where they came from and implement it.
We actually stayed seven months while he attended the Achievements program, which his their language preschool. His teacher was fantastic, she even let ben's home therapist come and get involved to pick up some tips. I can't tell you how much better the care is there than here. We hope to be moving in the next year to be closer to a therapeutic school. Do what it takes to take control of you kids care, every day is one less day of fluid, dynamic brain development. Jump on it with both feet!
Good luck,
His new doc Wilms-Floet is FANTASTIC. She is very communicative, answers her emails, and has worked to get my four year old good care.
We have an appointment there at the behavioral center (closer to the harbor) on June 18th if you would like to meet somewhere at the harbor for lunch. I know it must be hard being somewhere for a month where you do not know anyone.
I haven't been to KK yet. I have called them though. My son may be on the autism spectrum. I am working with Infants & Toddlers. Is that who your feeding therapy was through.. your local Early Intervention type program?
We did try the Children's Hospital feeding program in DC, but I just wasn't impressed with them either. We didn't get very far with that before I stopped going there. After the failed EI experience, I just didn't want to waste any more time with the wrong approach.
Kim mama to DS 12/2005, Pepper kitty , and 10/03, 1/05;
I also heard good news about the KK feeding program. It seems they have two feeding programs. The one at the downtown center is behavioral...however, the one at the center for autism and related disorders (CARD) is play-based . If we lived closer, we'd sign up for that.
Kim mama to DS 12/2005, Pepper kitty , and 10/03, 1/05;
I made the initial call to KKI for DD (nearly 5 years old--with SPD, articulation disorder, low muscle tone, anxiety). I did the initial intake over the phone and am waiting for an appointment. We'll be seen in CARD for a team eval including an Autism eval. We'll be travelling 2.5 hours from the Eastern Shore of MD.
Just wanted to join the thread and say thanks for the info already posted. I'm nervous, yet hopeful we'll get some answers.
Another bump...we have our appoitment date--in 2 weeks! I'm really shocked that it took just 1 month to be seen. We'll see Dr. Rubestein (dev. ped) as well as a SLT. Does anyone have experience with him?
I'm suddenly very nervous and unsure about the eval...Of course, DD has had a good week, so I'm second guessing myself about whether we should go through with the eval at all. I'm just very scared of the team not 'seeing' DD.
Can anyone tell me more about what to expect the day of the eval? I'll be calling to see what I can find out, but wanted to ask here, too. Just wondering if parents are there during the eval? Did you bring a list of concerns with you that day (beyond the required paperwork)? Is your child present if/when the team gives you an inital report/impressions? I really don't want DD (5) overhearing any discussion...she's anxious enough as it is. And any other positives about KKI would be great. :)
Thanks in advance, mamas.

Pan-European Mobile Phone?
I need a mobile phone/SIM plan that will allow me to cross an international border every day. Someone told me that she paid €100/month for a plan with unlimited data, no roaming within the area encompassing the EU and Schengen, calls and texts all included.

How to turn off vibrations in latest Android?
I recently got a Moto X, running the latest KitKat OS. I set up a few basic apps, turned off the sound and vibration to everything, but still every tweet reply and email I get causes the phone to do a short vibrate jolt on notification. I also get the haptic keyboard vibration feedback when typing on it. I've googled, turned every sound/vibrate option off in Settings and still can't get this phone to be quiet and vibrate-free on both counts. What am I doing wrong here?

Temporary move from Android to Blackberry - freaking out...
In a vain attempt at not spending lots of money, I attempted to replace a cracked screen on my Galaxy S3 and managed to make it way worse.

Best cheap option for basic mobile phone while visiting Scotland
I'm visiting Scotland in a month, and my cheapo Tracfone US cell phone will not work in the UK. I understand there are various inexpensive pay-as-you-go options for mobile phones -- tell me about the best balance between cheap, good coverage, and not totally garbage. I don't need or want a smart phone, and I don't want to unlock my Tracfone and put in a UK sim (I mention these two things because countless travel forums I have Googled derail uselessly into discussions of those two areas). I just want something super-basic and really cheap that will work in the Highlands, Skye, and Islay to call ahead to B&Bs and make restaurant reservations with. Thanks!

Prepaid (micro-)SIM cards (with data) for Iceland
I'm going to Iceland for a few days soon, and am looking for a prepaid local SIM card to put in my iPhone 4S.

My cellphones are all bass and no treble, and this lack of treble troubles me terribly.
The internal speaker quality on most cellphones I've tried seems abysmal, yet no one else I've talked to seems to notice/care -- even those whose cell phones I've tried and which are terrible in exactly the same way. So: (i) Have I just had a string of bad luck with cell phones? (ii) Does anyone else notice this? and (iii) Is there a cellphone review site that actually rates speaker quality on cellphones? Or, better yet: (iv) Are there cellphones that have an equalizer I could use to adjust the speaker to my heart's content? [more inside]

Harvest Framework
The Harvest framework integrates data from multiple clinical and research-focused sources to generate a cohesive view of a patient relative to a therapeutic area. Designed by and for biomedical researchers, Harvest is an open source toolkit for building web applications for integrating, discovering, and reporting data that addresses the unique needs of biomedical researchers.
Researchers require tools that scale with this increase without added complexity. To address this need we have developed Harvest, an open source framework for rapid development of purpose-built data discovery web applications.
Read the paper published online October 16, 2013 in the Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association.
Harvest was designed to alleviate the opaqueness of complex data models and large data sets and assists researchers with:
- Integration of genomic, imaging, research, and clinical endpoints
- Dynamic querying engine with visualizations
- Hypothesis-driven exploration of data
Harvest implements an HTML5 web interface supported by a collection of discoverable REST APIs.

Madonna Fan Would Be Irked By War With Iran
By editor
Originally published on Fri February 10, 2012 7:02 am
Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep. We have no evidence this is a mass movement, but at least one person seems to have a reason to urge Israel's prime minister to delay an attack on Iran. Israeli officials have been speculating out loud about a strike. Now a Facebook page is pushing for the war to wait, at least long enough to keep from disrupting a concert by Madonna in Tel Aviv. The page is called No War with Iran until After Madonna's Performance on May 29. You're listening to MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

"We really enjoyed our stay in the condo. The location was perfect for us. We loved the size of the unit and how cozy it was with the fire place and comfortable beds. We used the swimming pool a few times and it was great! All in all we were very happy with our stay and all of our needs were met. I gave it 4/5 because it was a little dated and I would've liked some darker window coverings. But I would definitely recommend and stay here again in the future!"Guest: Da Mama Date of Stay: March 2015 Review Submitted: March 14, 2015View listing
"We spent 4 nights in this wonderful, comfortable property. There were 7 adults in all, and we found there was enough room for all of us to spread out. The living area is very spacious and the dining nook was large enough for all 7 of us to eat and play games. The master bedroom is also very large and comfortable. If there was one drawback it would be the size of the TVs. Although all bedrooms and the living room all had them the screens were only about 20 inches, so if you are looking to watch movies or sporting events you won't be able to view a very large picture. We enjoyed unusually warm winter weather and were able to utilize the tennis court area as well as play a round of miniature golf. Cynthia was very helpful and patient with the questions we had and we were even allowed to check in early our first day, and out late on our last day. All in all this was a great experience for our family."Guest: Dan Date of Stay: February 2015 Review Submitted: February 19, 2015View listing
"This is the second year in a row we have had our company Christmas party at this lodge. We absolutely love it!

I recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a fun getaway with a large number of people!"Guest: SRL Date of Stay: December 2014 Review Submitted: December 16, 2014View listing

© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
Berkmar announced two coaching hires on Thursday, naming South Cobb's Tommy McWhorter as head boys basketball coach and Lithonia's Justin Bishop as head baseball coach.McWhorter, who replaces Bennie Gibbs, joins the Patriots after an extremely successful two-year run at South Cobb. His 2004-2005 team was 26-3 and reached the Class AAAAA Sweet 16 and this year's squad was 27-3 and made the Elite Eight before falling to Wheeler. Bishop has gone 54-26 in three seasons at Lithonia, tying for the 2005 region title and finishing second this season. He replaces Alan Maddox. "We're expecting great things out of both of them," Berkmar athletic director Glenn Wilson said. "They're two quality guys that had great references. They both have a lot of energy and a lot of excitement for their jobs here." Prior to his run at South Cobb, McWhorter also was a successful coach at Eastside, a school he led to the state tourney three times in six seasons. He won 105 games in six seasons at the Covington school. The 34-year-old said he's looking forward to coaching at Berkmar, as well as the earlier school hours. South Cobb students got out at 3:25 p.m. each day because of a later start in the morning, which makes Berkmar's 2:10 p.m. release time much more convenient for McWhorter, who drove from his Rockdale County home to South Cobb each day. "The time they start school and get out is nice," McWhorter said. "And I'm just excited about the opportunity itself. I didn't look into Berkmar. They looked into me. That said enough right there. Those guys thought enough of me to contact me." The new basketball coach said his main goal is returning Berkmar to its spot among the state's elite. The Patriots had been a state power - winning state titles in 2000 and 2001 - but had slipped in recent years. "I think that's why they hired me, to get it back to where it was and keep it there," McWhorter said. Bishop, who played baseball at Berry College, has led his Lithonia teams to 15, 22 and 17 wins in his only three seasons as head coach. A Lilburn resident, he also said the geography of Berkmar was a bonus. He's now four miles from his new school. "I live in Lilburn, so this is a little bit closer to home," Bishop said. "Gwinnett County is the premier athletic county in the state, and the opportunity to make that move was a big attraction to me. The facilities and support in Gwinnett County is second to none."

2007 BEST Pub Grub
Bukowski Tavern
A great pub is measured not only by its pints, but also by the quality of the food it offers to absorb all that booze. Bukowksi's, for its part, offers plenty of delicious ways to fortify yourself for the myriad varieties of stellar frosty brews it pours. The burgers are large and messy, just as they should be. And the array of "barfly food"—the White-Trash Cheese Dip, a rib-sticking plate of barbecued chicken tenders—is sure to sate late-night appetites.

Publisher: Princeton University Press
This is an eTextbook Learn More
What happens to a country when its skilled workers emigrate? The first book to examine the complex economic, social, and political effects of emigration on India, Diaspora, Development, and Democracy provides a conceptual framework for understanding the repercussions of international migration on migrants' home countries.
Devesh Kapur finds that migration has influenced India far beyond a simplistic "brain drain"--migration's impact greatly depends on who leaves and why. The book offers new methods and empirical evidence for measuring these traits and shows how data about these characteristics link to specific outcomes. For instance, the positive selection of Indian migrants through education has strengthened India's democracy by creating a political space for previously excluded social groups. Because older Indian elites have an exit option, they are less likely to resist the loss of political power at home. Education and training abroad has played an important role in facilitating the flow of expertise to India, integrating the country into the world economy, positively shaping how India is perceived, and changing traditional conceptions of citizenship. The book highlights a paradox--while international migration is a cause and consequence of globalization, its effects on countries of origin depend largely on factors internal to those countries.
A rich portrait of the Indian migrant community, Diaspora, Development, and Democracy explores the complex political and economic consequences of migration for the countries migrants leave behind.

2010 BEST Bike Shop
Landry's Bicycles
Bike lanes are popping up everywhere, but two-wheeled travel is still the underdog in this town. Thankfully, Landry's is positioned to mainstream the biking lifestyle. The shop features a well-rounded selection of commuter, racing, and kids' models, and there are four convenient locations (critical when you're running on oatmeal rather than gas). Best of all, each Landry's store is staffed with cycling enthusiasts who'll happily shepherd you through decisions big (road bike? hybrid?) and small (U-lock or old-fashioned chain?).

Steve Martin
Monday, November 29, 2010
Legendary writer, actor, and performer Steve Martin talks about his long and varied career, his many talents, and his latest novel. An Object of Beauty tells the story of an ambitious woman climbing through New York's social and art world.
Guests:Steve Martin
Comments [6]
I didn't realize that was Martin of comedic fame. And I don't care. He knows his stuff when it comes to Art and I desperately want to talk to him. I need to talk to that guy who did that interview, whoever he is.
wnyc knows how to contact me.
Steve: Not to dismiss "wild and Crazy Guy" and stuff in case your offended. ;-) But I don't think you are offended.
i love Steve Martin in the scene of P.T.A, when he gets pissed of at the car rental agent..
Steve Martin is fun! and of course he loves the artsss
i love the banjo,..nintendo made a great game with a banjo.. (banjo kazooie)
OMG!!! Competitive Bird Watching! Steve Martin you are the best! And how lucky that he gets to talk to Leonard - I doubt many others can really interview on the subject of the art world.
I have some thick books from 1965 called Art USA Now (touring USIA shows) - so many of the artists in the style of the day have just faded - to me since the 80s it all looks so arbitrary to me whereas the excitement of abstract expressionism and conceptual art were so palpable and unmistakable just a short while earlier. I think it will be a long time before we see what has really been relevant since then - I have even stopped looking to artists for inspiration - I am sure there has to be a lot of work that has gone underground.
It is fun listening to Steve Martin talk about art and his latest book. The conversation is easy going and really very interesting--nice job.
The point about what makes a painting great and valuable is really interesting. Over the weekend we watched the documentarty about the Vogels---the quirky couple that have spent their lives collecting art---mostly conceptual art.
The ability to see something special in a work of art is really a great gift and does truly take practice and a desire to see something beautiful/unique in the piece.
Herb Vogel looks closely at the art work that interests him. When he was younger, he and Dorothy would buy it if they could work out an agreeable deal with the artist.
I only read a few passages of Steve's book --Object of Beauty---but I found it interesting when he started describing how Lacey learns about art. It is mostly technical---though which makes me think she ( the character in the book) has to teach herself the look ---seeing doesn't seem to come natural for her. Perhaps Steve develops that theme as the book progresses.
Good luck to you, Steve----It was a pleasure listening to your banter with Leonard, just now.
Warm regards,
Can this be a sentimental book about the art market world? Nothing about the sleaze, corruption, gating keeping of what's in and what's out. Marketing, packaging. Collectors being coned and they love it. All around elitism?

In a match-up of two rookie quarterbacks likely to start for their respective teams this season, Cincinnati's Andy Dalton stole the show.
Dalton completed 11-of-17 passes for 130 yards and a touchdown, leading the Bengals to their first victory of the preseason.
Panthers' rookie Cam Newton played through the third quarter of Thursday's game, completing 6-of-19 passes for 75 yards. He also rushed for a team-high 49 yards on four carries.
Newton opened the game's scoring at the 6:27 mark in the first quarter with a 16-yard run. The score gave the Panthers a 7-0 lead.
After dropping a season-opener against Forbush, the Fred T. Foard volleyball team is on a roll.
The Lady Tigers (4-1, 1-0) won their fourth straight volleyball match Thursday with a 25-14, 25-16, 25-13 win against the visiting Lincolnton Lady Wolves.
"This was the best we've played this season," said Foard coach Alison Yount. "They played like a real volleyball team. I was proud of them. They did a really great job."
Leading the way for the Lady Tigers were Olivia Purvis and Madison Hayes, who had seven kills each.

She will talk talk to other people about her self and her kids, but not to me. But I guess my dream is that one day she will accept me as a real friend. Hopefully before I am on my death bed, or dead.

That is not what you asked, but I think about it every day and pray for that impossible dream to come true.

Sorry if I bored you, but I had to get it out and tell some one .

Thank you, you opened my mind again.
i was i am and i will be forever
Not anymore
I took a break from loving just one person its to much of a gamble. Instead I'm putting love in places that need it such as reading, drawing and a little writing. If ever we break up at least I have you on paper.
What is love? Have yet to experience the feeling of it
Yes, I am! And very much so. :-)
yes though she does not have the same feelings as i do so i will wait for who ever chooses me
no they will find me because i am tired of looking after having my heart torn asunder 6 times i think iam done looking its time just to swim and let some one fish me out
