(PRWEB) April 04, 2014
On Thursday, April 3, 2014, mothers of sixteen children and young adults with developmental disorders including autism, filed suit against the theme park subsidiary of the Walt Disney Company alleging violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act. The action stems from changes made in October 2013, when Disney reversed its long-standing Guest Assistance Card program and replaced it with the Disability Access Service. Under the previous GAC system, Disney permitted disabled persons to board its rides without waiting. The new DAS system requires disabled guests to go all the way to the entrance of a ride to obtain a return appointment time, equal to the present standby wait time, and to come back at that designated return time. Disney requires that developmentally disabled persons wait as long as non-disabled persons who stand in line; Disney no longer spares them the wait time, only the need to stand in line while waiting.
The plaintiffs uniformly assert that their developmental disorders prevent them from passively and idly waiting, regardless of whether the wait occurs in a line. Unlike non-disabled persons, the cognitively impaired person cannot idly wander the parks, killing time until they are allowed to board a ride. Autistic persons cannot "browse" or impulsively "grab a snack" or come up with other activities to occupy their time. If forced to wait around doing nothing, an autistic person will invariably experience a "meltdown" which is beyond his or her control.
The plaintiffs also claim that persons with cognitive impairments are incapable of comprehending the experience of going to a ride and being told to come back later, even if only a short time later. This, too, will cause a meltdown.
The plaintiffs also allege that:
The 176-page complaint was filed in Los Angeles and contains dozens of stories of arbitrary and discriminatory treatment in the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California, and the Walt Disney Resort near Orlando, Florida. The sixteen disabled plaintiffs and their parents reside in California, Connecticut, Florida, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Virginia.
The action is pending in United States District Court, Central District of California. Case No.: 2:14-cv-02530

From the Principal
Happy Holidays Holcomb Families,
First I would like to thank the 6th grade parents, teachers, and students for an amazing Harvest Bazaar. It was a wonderful community event that raised funds for our students' Outdoor School and classroom accounts.
We have started our automated calling system to report absences in a more timely manner. If your child is going to be absent, please call the office and leave a message before 8:15 A.M. Our number is (503) 785-8100.
Last Tuesday many students were excited to hear that we had no school due to inclement weather. Please remember to check the district website, sign up for Flash Alert, or check your local news stations to find the latest news on school closures or school bus snow routes. (http://www.orecity.k12.or.us/closure-alerts) (Holcomb Snow Bus Routes).
Students in 3rd through 6th grades are currently completing their first round of Oregon Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (OAKS). We use this early data to focus instruction on what students need to meet the standards. Students have three opportunities during the year to meet or exceed the standards.
We are making it a school priority to have a no tolerance policy for bullying and student harassment. Students have been working with staff to learn STOP-WALK-TALK. Please encourage students to communicate concerns with adults or mentors and praise them if they have used the Stop-Walk-Talk strategy. All staff are trained and understand the importance of dealing with the situation in a consistent and timely manner.
Next week beginning December 6th, we will be holding our Book Fair. Ms. Igrisan, our media assistant, has scheduled a Family Night on December 8th from 5-7:30 P.M. There will be a story hour, cocoa & cookies, and free gift-wrap. Books make a wonderful present for students and teachers. We hope to see you there.
Report Cards will be sent home Friday, December 10th. Please sign the envelope and return it with your student on Monday. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact your child's teacher. A positive parent-teacher partnership contributes to your child's school success.
Soon it will be time for winter break. During the time off it is important that students take time to continue reading, writing, and practicing their Math Facts everyday. Make learning fun by tying it into your daily routine so students understand the importance of education.
Wishing you a warm winter season,
Michael Sweeten
Principal, Holcomb Elementary School
Counselor's Corner - Emily Sallee: "STOP-WALK-TALK"
In response to a rise in bullying behaviors, including both overt or "face-to-face" (name-calling, teasing, physical bullying) and covert or "behind-the-back" (gossiping, rumors, cyber-bullying), Holcomb has adopted a school-wide bullying prevention program called "STOP-WALK-TALK." STOP-WALK-TALK teaches students to use three simple steps when experiencing or witnessing bullying in or out of school:
- Tell the person to STOP what they are doing (i.e. bullying behavior).
- WALK away from the person.
- TALK to an adult.
All Holcomb students were presented this program during November with the help of 12 sixth grade students from all three classes:
- Cramer: Emily Bettger, Calvin Lessick, Grant Walton, Bailey Melhus
- Easterly: Kayla Grant, Joel Quintanilla, Tyler Jacobs, Mara Kruszewski
- Grenwis: Ava Williams, Gerhart Solaita, Angelica Dove, Braeden Myers
Please support this new program by talking to your child(ren) about STOP-WALK-TALK. Encourage them to take a stand against bullying and support Holcomb as a safe place for all students.
Happy Holidays!
Emily Sallee

Sleep and Sleep Disorders
Tired? Insufficient sleep is associated with a number of chronic diseases and conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, obesity, and depression. Sufficient sleep is increasingly being recognized as an essential aspect of chronic disease prevention and health promotion.
A study in the Archives of Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine found that kids who didn't get enough sleep had an increased probability of being overweight. Researchers saw it in around 1,900 children from birth to 13 years old. The researchers looked at sleep patterns and weight in 1997 and 2002. At UCLA, researcher Fredrick Zimmerman:
"It was roughly 10 hours of sleep a night. Kids who didn't get enough sleep by that standard had roughly 80 percent more probability of being obese subsequently."
The researchers say naps during the day don't offset the effect. They think a lack of nighttime sleep throws off key hormones affect weight and metabolism.
How much sleep is enough? Sleep needs vary from person to person and change as people age. Consider these sleep guidelines for different age groups.
- Birth-2 months need 12 to 18 hours
- 3-11 months need 14 to 15 hours
- 1-3 years need 12 to 14 hours
- 3-5 years old need 11 to 13 hours
- 5-10 years old need 10 to 11 hours
- 10-17 years need 8.5 to 9.5 hours
- need 7-9 hours
*Data from the National Sleep Foundation http://www.sleepfoundation.org
Sleep Hygiene
The promotion of regular sleep is known as sleep hygiene. Here are some simple sleep hygiene tips:
- Go to bed at the same time each night, and arrise at the same time each morning.
- Sleep in a quiet, dark, and relaxing environment, which is neither too hot nor too cold.
- Make your bed comfortable and use it only for sleeping and not for other activities, such as reading, watching TV, or listening to music.
- Remove all TVs, computers, and other "gadgets" from the bedroom.
- Avoid physical activity within a few hours of bedtime.
- Avoid large meals before bedtime.

This Friday, friends, family and members of the community will be traveling to Virginia to attend a ceremony at the National Museum of the Marine Corps, where Lance Cpl. Jordan Haerter will posthumously be awarded the Navy Cross – the highest medal for bravery given by the Department of the Navy.
JoAnn Lyles, Jordan's mother, said the Marines are expecting around 400 people to attend Friday's ceremony, which will begin at 11 a.m. at the National Museum of the Marine Corps in Triangle, Virginia at the Quantico Marine Base.
Haerter, a 2006 Pierson High school graduate, joined the Marines after getting his diploma. He was sent to Iraq, and after just one month, the 19-year-old and fellow Marine, Cpl. Jonathon T. Yale, 21-years-old from Burkesville, Va., saved the lives of 33 Marines, dozens of Iraqi police and hundreds of Iraqi citizens by stopping a suicide bomber from entering their territory.
For their efforts, both Marines will posthumously receive the Navy Cross, the second highest honor of all the armed forces, just behind the Medal of Honor, with the families accepting the medals.
According to Lyles, Lt. Col. Brett Bourne, commander of the Battalion, learned that the two Marines would be receiving the medal as he was driving back from November's Sag Harbor Bridge Dedication in honor of Haerter.
"It is going to be a proud day for all Marines," said Lyles, "some of the people attending are from the 1-9 [First Battalion, Ninth Marines, the same Battalion as Jordan and Yale], from the Vietnam error."
The Haerters, both Jordan's father, Christian and Lyles, will meet Yale's family for the very first time on Friday.
Lyles organized a Hampton Jitney bus for those looking to attend the ceremony, which originally had a cost attached to it. After learning of the trip, the Suffolk Police Veterans Association offered to pay the entire cost of the charter, and a guided tour through the museum.
On Tuesday, Lyles said she has learned that a tour guide at the museum has already added Yale and Haerter's story to her tour. The guide will explain the story of both Marines and how their story is similar to that of Marine's in Beirut. JoAnn said the make and model of truck was the same in both cases. On her blog, the tour guide said the theme she uses to explain the connection between both cases is "how Marines know they can count on each other."
Further, she said Marines "do the things they do because they know there are other Marines counting on them. Indirectly, they do what they do because there are civilians counting on them, too."

Photos and Review by Oyster.com Investigators
Modern business hotel for travelers who don't mind driving
The Holiday Inn Austin Midtown -- which was purchased from a competing hotel chain, re-branded, and remodeled -- is enjoying a new lease on life. The decor is sophisticated and contemporary, thanks to renovations completed in 2011, although a few vestiges of the old property remain -- mainly hardware like window frames, and the building's exterior. The area can feel a little sketchy, so this hotel is best-suited to business travelers with their own transportation who don't need to walk anywhere, or prefer to host meetings and events at the hotel. The property has 13,000 square feet of meeting space and six meeting rooms, the largest of which can hold up to 700 people. Highway access is convenient, for those who need to get to downtown Austin.
In North Austin, just of I-35, in a business and lower-income neighborhood, behind one of Austin's now-defunct shopping malls
The Holiday Inn Midtown lies well north of Austin, just off one of its main arteries. Its location is certainly one of its biggest drawbacks, as you'll find virtually nothing in the way of places to walk to. Some rooms have views of the city, off in the distance beyond the highway, while others front the large, empty parking lot and abandoned stores of what was once one of the city's most important shopping complexes. The somewhat seedy nature of this part of town becomes evident if you drive around nearby streets, though might be easy to miss if you stick to the corridor between the hotel and main highways.
Large, bright rooms, with sleek, slightly retro decor
It might feel like you've stepped in to an episode of Mad Men when you first walk in to the room. There are several elements of updated 1960s style, including oversize lamps, geometric art, an avocado-colored sectional chaise lounge, and (in some) a brightly colored striped chair. The beds and pillows are very much 21st century, and the beds can be adjusted to different levels of firmness. The decor blends well with the building's original architecture.
A fitness center and a shady outdoor pool
Although located in a slightly sketchy neighborhood, opposite a shopping mall whose glory days are long-gone, this property's spacious, bright rooms are far more sophisticated than you might expect from a Holiday Inn. But it's a little far from the action and attractions downtown.

Comments about Stufz™ America's Stuffed Burger:
Lousy construction, doesn't make a solid "pocket" as shown on tv. Any more than 2 tbsp. of filling, the burger falls apart coming out of the maker or falls apart on the grill. Definitely a waste of money, I ended up throwing out.
Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend

What is Wellness Recovery Action Plan® (WRAP®)?
WRAP® works! It has been developed by a group of people who experience mental health and other health and lifestyle challenges. These people learned that they can identify what makes them well, and then use their own Wellness Tools to relieve difficult feelings and maintain wellness and a higher quality of life. The result has been recovery and long-term stability. Your WRAP® program is designed by you in practical, day-to-day terms, and holds the key to getting and staying well. It does not necessarily replace traditional treatments, but can be used as a compliment to any other treatment options you have chosen.
In developing your own WRAP® , you'll identify the Wellness Tools that will most benefit you. You will learn how to use these tools when needed; every day, or when you have particular feelings or experiences. WRAP® will help you notice when things seem to be off balance in your life, and help you coordinate effective ways to get back to feeling your best. WRAP® planning also includes Crisis Planning, an Advance Directive that lets others know how you want them to respond when you cannot make decisions, take care of yourself, or keep yourself safe. You will also develop a Post Crisis plan to guide you through the often difficult time when you are healing from a crisis.
WRAP® is developed by you. You choose who assists and supports you, whether they are family, friends, or health care providers, as you work on your own plan.
WRAP® has a broad applicability. It has been found to work well for people who have other medical conditions and life issues such as diabetes, addiction, trauma related issues and more. It can also be used as a framework to guide interpersonal relationships, peer support, groups, agencies, and organizations.
Key elements of WRAP®:
- Wellness Toolbox
- Daily Maintenance Plan
- Identifying Triggers and an Action Plan
- Identifying Early Warning Signs and an Action Plan
- Identifying When Things Are Breaking Down and an Action Plan
- Crisis Planning
- Post Crisis Planning.
WRAP® is designed and managed by you and is designed to:
- decrease and prevent intrusive or troubling feelings and behaviors
- increase personal empowerment
- improve quality of life
- assist you in achieving your own life goals and dreams.
People who are using WRAP® say:
- With WRAP I feel prepared
- I feel better more often, and I've improved the overall quality of my life
- WRAP has fast-forwarded my recovery
- WRAP gets me in touch with my inner manager

The Minnesota Timberwolves erased a 22-point third-quarter deficit and rolled to a 107-96 win over the Brooklyn Nets on Monday. Nikola Pekovic paced the Timberwolves with 21 points, and Chase Budinger and Andrei Kirilenko each scored 16 points. Minnesota outscored Brooklyn 32-10 in the fourth quarter, ending the night by scoring the final 11 points. Timberwolves rookie Alexey Shved hit two 3-pointers in the last quarter, during which he had all 10 of his points. Brooklyn got 18 points and 13 assists from Deron Williams, plus 17 points from Joe Johnson. Williams' consecutive 3-pointer early in the third quarter gave the Nets a 71-49 lead. However, the Nets went cold, managing just one field goal, scored by Johnson, in the last half of the fourth quarter. The Nets took an early lead in the first quarter thanks to two 3-pointers from Keith Bogans, who was inserted into the starting lineup after Gerald Wallace was made inactive due to a sprained ankle.

December 12, 2008
Due to budget restrictions, this meeting was held by conference call. The out of town members were connected by telephone while the Raleigh-based members met in the conference room of Fisher Building.
Call to Order
Chairman Gary Ray called the meeting to order at 1:15 p.m. Present in the conference room were: Gary Ray, Kathy Davis, Debbie Jackson, Julie Kagy, Barbria Bacon, Carl Keehn, and Carla Parker. Connected by conference call were: Allen Casey, Jennifer Talbot, Beth Butler, and Steve Walker.
Carl Keehn offered the invocation.
Approval of Minutes
A motion was made by Jennifer Talbot, seconded by Allen Casey, and carried to approve the minutes for the September 12, 2008 meeting.
Report of Entities:
North Carolina Association for Education & Rehabilitation of the Blind & Visually Impaired—Kathy Davis
One of the biggest concerns facing AER and the school is the budget. AER membership is decreasing. Teaching positions are frozen and contracted funds are being recalled.
Also due to budget constraints, the VIB Conference is being scaled down to 1 day this year—March 20. No meals will be offered. Vendors will be charged $30 rather than the normal $75; $15 for non-profit. Business Enterprises may be able to supply drinks. Notebooks will not be provided this year.
Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped—Carl Keehn
The digital conversion continues to be on schedule. Two digital talking book machines should arrive in February which will be used for training and demonstrations.
The National Library Services will be releasing 5,000 machines to different regional libraries for them to distribute to the public as a final beta test for the machine. Training modules will also be released in February. Digital playback machines should arrive in May.
Staffing changes: Assistant Regional Librarian is Catherine Rubin and the Outreach Librarian is Gina Powell.
The Office of State Personnel is instituting career banding for the State Library starting with the librarians and library technicians.
Due to the rezoning of the lot next to the library, the library now has a new address. The address is now 1841 Capital Blvd.
The Annual Volunteer Recognition dinner was held on November 6. Service awards were presented to volunteers.
Outreach Efforts included attending the National Federation of the Blind Convention in Charlotte, National Council of the Blind Convention in Raleigh, and the Adapted Technology Expo in Raleigh.
The Department of Cultural Resources has been assigned a new e-mail server. E-mail addresses have changed. The same format (first name.last email@example.com) exists but the extension is now ncdcr.gov rather than ncmail.net.
Governor Morehead School—Barbria Bacon
GMS now has a highway room which is connected to most hospitals and community colleges across the State.
The Downtown Lions Club visited the campus and ever child received presents such as boom boxes, MP3 players, headsets, DVD's, CD's. A Wii video game was donated to the GMS cottage.
During the holidays, students visited 3 nursing homes. A Christmas performance of "Scrooge" was performed in Lineberry Hall.
A new telephone system will be installed throughout the GMS campus.
Department of Public Instruction—Julie Kagy
Ms. Kagy provided a follow-up to the study of the services at residential and public schools. The study was presented to the legislature in December 2007. The recommendations included that DHHS and DPI should establish a task force to exam how a free and appropriate education is ensured for deaf and hard of hearing, deaf/blind, and visually impaired students in NC. The Task Force has met and has agreed to meet with representatives of traditional local educational agencies and residential schools to explore additional models for service delivery and identify the resources necessary for development. DPI will meet with LEA EC Directors and residential school directors to discuss data and current placement options for students.
Division of Services for the Blind—Debbie Jackson
DSB has developed several scenarios based on requests from the Department on various levels of possible budget cuts, if needed, beginning July 2009. In addition to that, DSB has implemented reductions for the current year which includes travel, supplies and equipment, and vacant positions.
In October, the Medical Eye Care Program stopped providing any new services or approving any new consumers to that program. Hopefully, in July services will resume to consumers.
As a part of the Rehabilitation Program's State Plan, a needs assessment must be done every 3 years. To do this, DSB is beginning to look at providers that can do the needs assessment. When this assessment begins, assistance will be needed from consumer organizations.
State Council of the North Carolina Lions; North Carolina Lions Foundation—Steve Walker
The Lions are facing the same budget problems as everyone else with decreased membership and volunteer services.
The Lions Foundations' budget was developed in April with cutbacks that would be manageable. At this point, program service level is being maintained but the demands for these services are increasing tremendously. The Foundation will provide as many services to as many people as it can.
A wireless internet service has been installed at Camp Dogwood. The Summer Camp is currently being planned.
Prevent Blindness of North Carolina—Jennifer Talbot
One of the cutbacks last summer was to the Early Childhood Vision Plan for $500,000. This program paid for eye exams for children entering school if they couldn't be covered under other programs. Prevent Blindness wrote to ophthalmologists and optometrists asking them to donate up to 3 exams with glasses. In response to this request, 900 eye exams and 500 pairs of glasses were donated.
Question was asked why in North Carolina individuals cannot be given a pair of used eyeglasses. All of the used glasses that the Lions collect are sent overseas. Gary Ray will look into the language of this legislation.
North Carolina Council of the Blind—Allen Casey
A Southeastern Leadership Conference is being planned for April in Raleigh.
The State Convention was held in September with 2 national speakers.
The Federal Communications Commission has recently requested public comments regarding accessibility to emergency information. Hopefully with the digital transition, the visually impaired will be assisted in being aware of the emergency information that is being transmitted.
National Federation of the Blind of North Carolina—Gary Ray
State Convention was held in Charlotte and well attended. Elections were held and Gary Ray is now the President of NFB of NC and Tim Jones is the First Vice-President.
The 2009 State Convention will be in Raleigh, September 10-12.
In February 2009, NFB will be going to Washington for their Washington Seminar.
A commemorative Silver Dollar is being issued in honor of the 200th anniversary of Louis Braille. This Silver Dollar is being sold for $45 and has Braille on the coin.
The National NFB Convention will be held in Detroit in July.
Elected Committee of Vendors—No Report
Old Business
At the last meeting, Tommy Jenkins asked that we thank legislators for all of their help. Gary Ray is moving forward with this effort.
Gary Ray is also trying to get a Senator appointed to this Committee.
Question was asked about the status of a possible revision to the CAAC general statute—More discussion will be held on this matter at a later date.
New Business
Adjournment of Meeting
The meeting adjourned at 2:10 p.m. The next meeting is March 13, 2009.

Strategies for Small Cell Network Deployments for 4G and Beyond
Current smart phone usage trends indicate that there will be a huge increase in global mobile user traffic. In the next five years alone, the mobile user traffic is expected to reach 11.2 Exabyte per month. Small Cells and Small Cell Networks are expected to play a pivotal role in addressing the capacity needs for such a traffic surge in the mobile networks.
To check out the complete table of contents, visit: http://www.marketresearchreports.biz/analysis-details/strategies-for-small-cell-network-deployments-for-4g-and-beyond
Small Cells and Carrier WiFi are important factors for the success of an LTE deployment and public areas will be the key drivers for the small-cell market. Small cells are typically used to provide in-building and outdoor wireless coverage and capacity. Estimates suggest that with small cells, mobile operators can offload almost 80% of traffic during peak times.
The name "small" should not fool anyone, as the planning stage of Small Cell deployment can often take almost as long as macro cell planning. The choice of Small Cell technology is driven by many factors including type of solution (consumer, enterprise, public area, rural area), usage patterns, and more. There are many other considerations after deployment as well including proper timing for implementation of optimization technologies such as Self-organizing Network (SON) solutions.
This report provides a fundamental technical understanding of the Small Cell operation as well as the business drivers for deployment from a mobile network operator's perspective. The report evaluates the current state of the industry Small Cell deployment in 3G and LTE and presents a vision for anticipated future of Small Cells beyond 4G. This is the only report of its type that provides specific and critical insights and information needed for Small Cell design and strategic planning.

Google expands video ad test
- Related Stories
Report: Google, CBS in talks on ads, contentJanuary 11, 2007
Ads 2.0: Beyond the repurposed TV spotNovember 22, 2006
The search giant sent e-mails to some of its online-publishing customers this week, offering them the opportunity to participate in a pilot program involving video ads from WSJ.com, LX.tv, and Conde Nast's Epicurious and Style.com. The ads will be contextually targeted to the content on the Web sites.
Google is broadening a test announced on Monday in which it said it would run ads from Sony BMG Music Entertainment and Warner Music on its publisher customer sites, Google spokesman Brandon McCormick said. Revenue will be divided three ways--between the content owner, the Web site publisher and Google--and ads will be billed on a cost-per-thousand impressions model, as are traditional display ads.
Last summer, Google distributed MTV video clips over its AdSense network as part of an earlier test.
Last year, Conde Nast online division CondeNet added how-to cooking videos to Epicurious, the Web site for Gourmet and Bon Appetit magazines, and it expanded its fashion and designer videos on Style.com, the Web site for Vogue and W magazines.
One AdSense publisher who was asked to participate said he was thrilled at the opportunity, predicting that video ads would outperform standard Google text ads as long as the video ads are user-initiated and start playing only when someone has clicked on them.
"When it's new, and it's hot and cool, people will click, and the clicks will make money," said Allen Stern, editor of tech news blog CenterNetworks. "Video is definitely a more compelling medium."
Stern created a mock-up of what he suspects the video ads could look like on his Web site.

- If these ads are auto playing ads in anyway, shape or form, then I'll just disable Flash entirely. Frankly, I'm tired of ads in general, with popover flash ads that obscure what you're trying to read and so forth.

- Using Firefox with Customize Google allows you to block all AdSense right now...I presume that they will block this too.
If not, AD Block will block the flash elements.
I'm in agreement with one of the other comments ... Do NOT autoplay these, I can't stand sites that blast you with music/sounds when you load them up.

It's full screen, two-way interactive so it takes advantage of all the internet has to offer.

This being Water Week on TVO, and this being a country that is considered to be very wasteful when it comes to water (only the United States uses more water per person), Thursday's discussion on The Agenda will look at how we can improve water efficiency and conservation. The conversation will focus in part on whether we should make people pay more for the water they use in their homes. Raising the cost of water, the thinking goes, would serve as a financial incentive for people to use less water more wisely.
Since we're talking about how to save water, I thought I'd ask one of the guests on Thursday's program, Bill Gauley, to give me a couple of basic misconceptions many people have about how to best make use of water at home. He also threw in a few "fun facts" worth knowing about water itself.
Myths about water conservation and efficiency
1. You can save water by washing by hand.
Many of the latest generations of dishwashers are quite efficient in their water use. Of course it's important to try to use your dishwasher only when it is full of dishes so that you're making the most of the water used.
2. Low flush volume toilets don't flush as well as the older 13 litre toilets.
Newer low volume toilets flush three or four times as much waste as the older toilets with about one-third of the water.
3. Sensor-operated faucets save water.
There are no independent studies that show water savings from sensor-operated faucets. But there are studies that show they use more water.
4. Rain barrels save a lot of water.
Gauley states that most "water efficiency professionals" agree that rain barrels save less than a couple of dollars worth of water each summer.
5. Automatic irrigation systems save water vs. manual irrigation.
Automatic systems often apply more than 4 times as much water per square metre of lawn than manually irrigated lawns.
"Fun" facts about water
1. A leak of only one drop per second equals 28 litres of water wasted per day.
2. If the earth was the size of a globe (about the size of a basketball), the average depth of the oceans would be thinner than the thickness of one piece of paper. All of the water on earth would fit into a golf ball, and all of the fresh water on earth would fit into a BB gun pellet.
3. The water molecules we have on Earth are the same molecules that have always been on Earth (i.e., a few dinosaurs have sipped at the same water molecules that are in your morning coffee).
4. Water is one of the only substances that expands when it freezes -- which is lucky for us, otherwise the oceans would be filled with ice instead of water.
5. Salt dissolves better in cold water than in hot water.
Papers and studies on water use
Here's where the "theory" referenced in the blog post's title comes in. In my conversations with water experts over the past week, I've come across a few reports on water usage that are worth reading if you really want to get a deeper understanding of how our water system works and how it could be improved.
This 2009 paper by the Ontario Water Conservation Alliance (OWCA) lays out what it calls "a blueprint for a comprehensive water conservation and efficiency strategy" for the province. The OWCA is supportive of the Ontario Water Opportunities and Water Conservation Act, passed by the legislature about one year after the report was released.
Bloom Centre Water Innovation Forum
The Bloom Centre for Sustainability recently released a report looking at opportunities for increased water efficiency in Ontario's food processing sector. Food processing is a big industry in the province that uses a lot of water -- so much so that water is a considerable cost to businesses in this sector. So the chances to use water more efficiently and save money are many.
Region of Durham Efficient Community -- Final Report
This 2008 study for Ontario's Durham Region, prepared by Bill Gauley, examines how much water can be saved by giving people more efficient water appliances and fixtures, such as low flush volume toilets.

This extraordinary figure drove the total visitor arrivals from January to October up to a 5.2% growth. In these ten months, a total of 1,762,819 visitors have come to Panama, making for very good year-end statistics in tourism, according to the Panama Tourism Authority.
Cruise ports also noted a rise in passenger traffic, leading to 12.64% growth. A total of 265,586 passengers disembarked from these tourist ships. Another 136,523 tourists entered Panama overland at the Paso Canoas border crossing in Chiriquí, a 2.83% increase. Visitor arrivals is expected to grow by 5-7% by the end of 2013.
Panama stands out as a destination that offers a combination of opportunities for sun and sand, ecotourism, shopping, and business, all close by the vibrant and modern Panama City, located right on the banks of the Panama Canal, one of the engineering wonders of the world.

Stop it Christopher! Ow!
Boys will be boys. Some a little more than others. Noah and Christopher have a lot in common…
Do you want to go home or do you want to play?
…including Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder or ADHD.
Christopher is having a hard time.
You need to calm down
They're very forgiving of each other I think because they are used to each other and,
for example, Noah will take a punch from Christopher because in another situation he might get frustrated enough to punch some child.
I need to get him…Noah! Out of the road, honey! Noah stop!
In many ways they tend to embody those impulsive and explosive traits that in generations past would have labeled them simply as "hyperactive".
Boys tend to be…uhm, acting out sorts of people. They're externalizing in their behavior.
While more boys than girls with ADHD do tend to bounce off the walls, it's not a given. Some girls will "act out" while some boys are quietly distracted.
Experts today place less emphasis on behavior when diagnosing ADHD and more on the array of brain-coping skills, such as memory, focus, and a child's ability to regulate his or her emotions.
Everybody can recognize the 3-year-old who's been kicked out of three daycare facilities because they're too disruptive and aggressive because of their ADD,
but the kid who's sort of quietly having trouble in school and not putting out often is seen as a motivational problem.
If not for attentive parents, Mary Neslund may well have fallen through the cracks like so many other girls with ADHD.
She was diagnosed in kindergarten—less disruptive children with the condition are often not discovered until middle school or later.
They have to be organized, they have to plan ahead, they have to work independently, they have to use their memory to hold information in mind.
So what that's telling us is, there're a lot of girls and women out there who have this problem, who are not being identified as having it because they're not making enough trouble for other people.
Under the guidance of competent mental health professionals, Mary's family put her on a medication that's been effective in keeping her focused in school.
She recently graduated high school with honors and will attend college. But in spite of her progress, gaining the acceptance of some of her peers was sometimes like swimming upstream.
Kids have brought me to tears talking about it, because they just don't believe it's real.
Noah honey…you're showing off a little (laughs)…
It's important to keep in mind that ADD is not a cookie cutter problem—that there are some people who have this who are very outgoing and gregarious,
there are other people who are very shy and constricted. There are some people who are obnoxious and overbearing, there are other people who bend over backwards not to offend people.
I'm your friend.
However the symptoms are expressed, those with ADHD are, like the rest of us, mostly just looking for a way to fit in. For WebMD, I'm Damon Meharg

Margaretta became the latest victim of Dale Irby's explosive ground attack.
Perkins (8-0, 5-0) used 526 rushing yards in just 17 minutes of possession time to cruise to another easy Sandusky Bay Conference win, topping the Polar Bears (3-5, 1-4) 56-13 Friday night at Firelands Regional Medical Center Stadium.
Click here for more photos from the game
Irby led the Pirates with 252 rushing yards on just 11 carries for four touchdowns in the Pirates' last regular season home game, including a 79-yard run on Perkins' second drive of the game.
"Irby is just special," Perkins coach Jason Ziegler said. "That one 79-yard run was probably one of the best runs I have ever seen. That was pure determination and effort. It's good to have him on our side. He's a special player and he showed it tonight."
The Perkins senior had 157 yards of offense by halftime and three touchdowns on runs of 11, 79, and 38 yards.
TreyVon Moore and John Workman added runs of 13 and three yards and the Pirates went into halftime with a 35-6 lead on 341 yards of offense.
"We did some real good things tonight but we still have a lot of things to work on," Ziegler said. "That's a good team we played. I thought Coach (Andy) Zuk and his staff did a great job."
The Pirates scored on their first possession of the game, using just 1:18 of the clock on a 4-play, 61-yard drive.
The Polar Bears had a quick answer however, using 3:30 of the game clock to set up a 20-yard run by Derek Abbott on a fourth down-and-one.
"Credit their offense they did a real nice job," Ziegler said of the early Polar Bear score. "They found a hole and they exploited it. We had to go back and make some changes to fix it."
Senior quarterback David Doster went down early in the second quarter, two plays after making an interception at the 50-yard line. Doster dialed up a quarterback keeper, but took a hard hit that forced him to leave the game. He watched from the sideline on crutches for the remainder of the game.
"We're going to find out (today), but I think he's going to be alright," Ziegler said. "He probably could have went back in the game for a little bit, but we decided to lay off. The score was kind of high, so with a lead we don't want to take any chances."
Irby ran in a 1-yard score midway through the third quarter before the Pirates started going to their bench.
Moore ran in another score, this time a 9-yarder in third, and Adam Snyder ran in a 43-yard score midway through the fourth.
Moore finished with 94 yards on six carries while Snyder added 51 yards on three touches. Workman finished with 74 yards rushing on nine carries.
"Adam Snyder is a senior and a very good running back for us," Ziegler said. "He had a real good game for us tonight. I am proud of him. He runs the ball hard. He has had a very solid last few weeks of practice, so we wanted to make sure we were going to feed him the ball. He's a kid we are going to look at as we go on. I am real happy with him. He's a senior that is busting his butt."
Margaretta got on board again in the second half when Caleb Stockmaster caught a 17-yard touchdown pass in the end zone from Dylan Bailey.
"I liked our effort tonight," Zuk said. "It was a big mountain for us to climb. They are a bigger school and very well-coached. It was a big challenge for us but I think our kids played with heart for four quarters and that is what we asked them to do."

Full text not available from this repository.
Colonic symptoms and large-bowel disease are common in elderly people, but the optimum investigative schema is not well established. Double-contrast barium enema (DCBE) and full colonoscopy share several drawbacks; both require colonic preparation which at best causes stool frequency and urgency, at worse dehydration and hypovolaemia. Many physicians feel that in the elderly this represents such a risk that inpatient preparation is preferred. Both investigations may involve much discomfort and distress. Rigid sigmoidoscopy is the traditional first colonic examination in patients with colonic symptoms, but will detect fewer than 10% of significant colonic lesions. Further investigation is almost always needed in elderly patients.

UW issues info on native plants
A new bulletin from the University of Wyoming Extension addresses using native plants and adapted seed sources to help reclaim severely disturbed lands.
Native plants represent key resources for restoration of ecosystem functions and wildland health, said state authors assistant professor and extension restoration ecologist Kristina Hufford and Rachel Mealor, extension range specialist, both in the Department of Ecosystem Science and Management.
"Successful Restoration of Severely Disturbed Lands: Native Plants and Adapted Seeds for Reclamation," includes resources for the selection of native plant species and appropriate seed sources for revegetation of degraded lands in the state and region.
"This bulletin addresses questions we've received during workshops about the selection of native plant species and the use of different seed sources in land reclamation and restoration," Hufford said.
The bulletin is available for free at http://tiny.cc/wyoext.

Jim Davis Votes Early by Mitch E. Perry
Early voting began throughout Florida, 15 days before the September 5th Primary Election.
At the Supervisor of Elections office in downtown Tampa today, Congressman Jim Davis, joined in a rare public appearance with his wife Peggi, came with a small entourage to cast his vote, and encourage others to do so (roll tape#1 o.q.â�get out and voteâ�)
In polls taken throughout the summer, a majority of registered Democrats continue to say that theyââ¬â¢re undecided between Davis and his opponent, Gainsville State Senator Rod Smith ââ¬Â¦.WMNF asked Davis is he concerned that so many voters still havenââ¬â¢t decided who to vote for (roll tape#2to pay attentionââ¬?)
The last major poll was taken by the St. Petersburg Times about 10 days agoââ¬Â¦That showed Davis with a strong, 35 to 21 percent lead over Smith.
Many editorials in recent weeks have mentioned the fact that Davis and Smith have similar views on many of the major issues of the dayââ¬Â¦But when asked to delineate the differences, Davis welcomed the opportunity (roll tape#3 o.q.ââ¬?repeal the loopholeââ¬?)
Although his hometown newspaper ââ¬â the Tampa Tribune ââ¬â endorsed Davis on Sunday, the Congressman has lost out to Rod Smith in the battle for newspaper editorial endorsementsââ¬Â¦..One newspaper said they supported Smith over Davis because Smith had proven that he could work WITH Republicans in Tallahasee.
The paper said that was important because the legislature would still be heavily Republican after the election.
Unfortunately, WMNF stumbled when asking the question, setting the Tampa Congressman up big time (roll tape#4 o.q.ââ¬?kind of Governor Iââ¬â¢ll beââ¬?)
Among those who were voting today were John & Nancy Dinkel. Mrs. Dinkel said she didnââ¬â¢t think enough information was getting sent to the public about the candidatesââ¬Â¦.When asked if she thought the media did a good enough job in getting that information about, , she said no(roll tape#5 o.q.ââ¬?on a podiumââ¬?)
But Dinkelââ¬â¢s husband, John Dinkel, said citizens also need to take some control (roll tape#6 o.q.ââ¬?real failure I thinkââ¬?)
Early voting hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday to Friday and Saturday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Voters must provide both signature and photo identification.comments powered by Disqus

As an avid circle track racer, and knowing what a fan of NASCAR Julie is, Jim insisted on setting up the GN's suspension in the same manner as his racecars. Hotchkis lowering springs dropped the nose approximately 2.5 inches in the front and 3 inches in the rear. Lefthander tubular units replaced the front upper control arms with a Hotchkis 1 3/8-inch hollow front sway bar tightening up the front end. Hotchkis boxed upper and lower control arms make up the rear suspension, guided by a Hotchkis 1-inch solid rear sway bar. Twelve-way adjustable PRO shocks are used at all four corners, and polyurethane bushings are used throughout. Baer 13-inch front and 12-inch rear brakes with drilled and slotted rotors replace the primitive stock disc/drum combo. The final ingredient was a custom set of Boyd Coddington 17x9-inch chrome wheels with Nitto 555 rubber to really draw attention to the slammed cherry.
Even with the Nitto 275/40R17 drag radials, the torque monster still managed a 1.63 60-foot time and an 11.12 ET at 110 mph down the 1320. Even more impressive though is the cash and prizes Jim has taken home at Slinger Super Speedway. "It's turned faster times at the circle track than full on racecars. It even outperformed our C6. We wound up getting rid of the C6 because it just sat since she loved driving the GN so much. She doesn't let me drive it, and she's already been through three sets of tires in a year and a half. I am sure the neighbors don't appreciate that, but they'll get over it."
Apparently, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, either. Julie said, "Whenever my [8-year-old] daughter, Jayna, is in the car she giggles when I step on it and she says 'faster, faster.' She says she wants to drive a Vette when she is 16." Good luck with that one, Jayna. In the mean time, she can continue to enjoy many miles of excitement in her mom's GN. And who knows, maybe when she's old enough to drive, mom will hand over the keys. Then again, maybe not!

Integrate NuVo Wireless Audio with Control4 via Extra Vegetables
Extra Vegetables will demo NuVo Wireless Music System driver for Control4 at ISE 2013
With EV's new NuVo Wireless Player, users can control their music via Contro4 over IP. There is no need for IR or serial communications.
To commission the NuVo system within Control4, integrators define the NuVo wireless player (or zone in the case of the three-zone P3100) as the audio end point and audio volume control for the room.
Since the NuVo players have a line-in option for a local source, that source can be accessed through the Control4 interface, along with the streaming services available through NuVo—Pandora, SiriusXM, TuneIn and Rhapsody.
Currently, you cannot search Internet music stations through a Control4 interface, according to EV, but a forthcoming 4Store app Pandonuvo will provide search capabilities and allow users to add and play Pandora stations via the NuVo wireless system.
Another caveat: "It is currently not possible to join NuVo wireless player zones using the Control4 zones page," EV warns. "This is something we are looking at for a later release of the driver but should not be promised to your customers at this stage."
And if you bought a shiny new Sony receiver with Control4 inside (STR-DA5800ES or STR-DA2800ES) … sorry.
"They are not able to discover the NuVo players on the network," according to EV. You'll need a full-blown Control4 hub, either an HC250 or HC800.

What's the point to have Nuvo streaming player in Europe if Pandora Music Service same as SiriusXM is not available over there!!!!!!
Its limited to north america only!!!!!
Doesnt make any sense to buy this crap!!
Unless Nuvo replace firmware for Europe with Tuba.Fm service and Fabrykamuzy.pl which is 10 times better than garbage Pandora!!!!!
Thanks for your comments, JACO. With the NuVo Wireless System now shipping in Europe and throughout the world, we are now focusing on optimizing its features based on the valuable, region-specific feedback we're hearing from our dealers and other professional integrators like you.

Those Orange/Blue/Gum Campuses are sick as hell.
Don't allow them shove a lease at you expecting you to sign within the spot. Tell them you might have an important selection to create, and you'll get back to them inside a day or two. Be extremely polite about it you don't want them saying, "Oh, I fully realize. Whereas you go fuck your self, I will have the subsequent particular person on my listing sign the lease." But then while you have the opportunity to get it done when they are not present, introduce your self to your potential neighbors and request them just a few simple concerns about what it truly is wish to dwell there.

Dancing With The Stars
Rebecca Budig Wins Skating With the Stars Over Bethenny Frankel
If Bethenny Frankel is the Bristol Palin of Skating With the Stars, then Rebecca Budig is the Jennifer Grey. After a finale night of perfect scores, "The Natural" Rebecca and her partner Fred Palascak beat "The Underdog" Bethenny and partner Ethan Burgess to become the first winners of SWTS.
Here are the Episode 6 Finale highlights:
• Pro skate: Johnny Weir cannot get any more fabulous in his black ruffles and eyeshadow. He's joined in his group skate by SWTS pros Jennifer Wester, Denis Petukhov and Keauna McLaughlin in a routine choreographed by Johnny's fellow judge, Laurieann Gibson.
• Eliminated stars return: Brandon Mychal Smith is still sitting on the sidelines, so only Sean Young & Denis Petukhov, Vince Neil & Jennifer Wester, and Jonny Moseley & Brooke Castile return to skate again. Sean & Denis re-skate their Week 1 routine to "Bubbly." Vince & Jennifer do their sultry Week 2 Tango. Jonny & Brooke danced their favorite performance, the Week 3 "Cosmic Love" dance. He slipped during a lift, but he didn't fall.
• Judges preview the final routines: Dick Button says Rebecca & Fred have impressed him week after week. Laurieann Gibson says Rebecca is a natural. Johnny says she needs to wow the judges to win. Johnny says Bethenny's best asset has been her personality and she has grown by leaps and bounds. Laurieann says her shoulder and arms are still a problem. Dick wants to be blown away by the final performances.
• Bethenny Frankel & Ethan Burgess Final Routine: They re-skate her sentimental favorite routine, the Week 1 skate to "Right Round." It was her lowest scoring routine and they added more complicated moves. Bethenny tells the camera, "Rebecca, I know this is your childhood dream, but I didn't leave my husband and baby at home to not win this trophy." Snap! During their routine, Ethan does some serious overhead lifts. Johnny says Bethenny skated like a finalist and he thanks her fans for voting her into the finals so he could see her skate her best. Dick says Bethenny sees more than anyone what this is about: It's not the Olympics, it's about fun. She made the criticism work for her. "Wonderfully good performance." Laurieann says "what a transformation." She hit every piece of the choreography in rhythm. In the "Kiss & Cry," Bethenny calls this the most difficult thing she's ever done. She thought figure skating was a "feminine" sport, but in reality skating stars are "machines" and more like football players. Technical merit scores: 8, 7, 8. Artistic impression scores: 10, 9, 9 Total: 51 out of 60
• What is up with Vernon? Host Vernon Kay does a creepy dance, singing "Bethenny got a 10! Bethenny got a 10!"
• Rebecca Budig & Fred Palascak Final Routine: They re-skate their Week 3 "Hot n Cold" routine. He couldn't even remember the beginning so she had to re-teach it to him. She injured her wrist the last time they did this routine and the injury returns when they try a new trick. "I will sacrifice my wrist to get through this routine." She says it's okay for Bethenny to lose because she still has 12 jobs! During the routine, they do some mad spins and she does her own little jump. Laurieann squeals in excitement. She likes how Rebecca took a risk and was "electrifying." "You are a world-class skater!" Johnny said she gave them so much soul and didn't rest on anything. She did the hardest jump combination they'd seen. She rocked the competition from beginning to end and he's unbelievably proud of her. Dick says a champion is someone who goes full blast even if they may not need to. That's what Rebecca did; she opened up and showed them what was inside her. (That sounds a bit naughty.) Technical merit scores: 10, 10, 10. First perfect score in the competition! Artistic impression scores: 10, 10, 10. Total: 60 out of 60
• Who wins? More than 350 hours of training, three falls and one very painful injury have led to this moment. After combining the judges' scores and audience votes, the winners and first ever champions of Skating With the Stars are ... Rebecca & Fred!

The viral contamination of drugs and blood plasma used for transfusions is a serious problem. In the United Kingdom alone, more than 300 people, many of them haemophiliacs, have contracted AIDS after receiving blood transfusions or a blood clotting compound, factor VIII, that had been isolated from donated blood contaminated with HIV. Of those, more than 200 have died.
Over the past few months, a number of filters have become available which are reported capable of sieving out lethal viruses, including HIV, from blood plasma and other biological medicines, such as human growth hormone.
According to the companies which have developed the new filters, they provide the medical profession with an additional means of purifying plasmas and other drugs derived from biological sources. They have the advantage that they can be sterilised after use, to destroy any viruses that they may trap.
At present, suppliers of blood plasma and biological ...

My brother is under the age of 18. He wants to play online on BF3 (I want this too as I bought him the game). There are no parental restrictions to his xbox. I don't know if he's even got to the stage of setting up a EA origin account yet.
How do I get it to work for him?

The Illusionist is a beautifully drawn animation – a tale of a magician desperately trying to survive on the dying music hall circuit – that brings its various settings (Paris, London and Scotland) to life in a breathtaking manner.
The semi-mute film by Sylvain Chomet is based on a script by French filmmaker Jacques Tati, known for his comedies starring himself as bumbling Monsieur Hulot – who served as the inspiration for its main character, an ageing magician. Tati, in turn, was influenced by Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton. These icons of the silent cinema rely on visual gags and awkward, angular movements, whilst portraying the individual's struggles in a modern world. They have long been an inspiration for animators and Chomet extends this link.
Down on his luck, the illusionist leaves Paris and takes the ferry to England, accompanied by his white rabbit. In London he is upstaged by a British rock band (Billy Boy and the Britoons) and after an equally disastrous performance at a summer party – where a highly inebriated Scot in a kilt invites him to up to his pub on a Scottish island – he makes his way up to Scotland.
Finally, he finds an appreciative audience in the pub and soon strikes up a friendship with a poor local girl, Alice, who believes he can conjure up anything – from snow (a delightful goose feather storm caused by a woman stuffing a pillow) to shiny red shoes. She follows him to Edinburgh where the pair book into a hotel and the illusionist tries to find work, with rapidly diminishing success.
Their innocent friendship reminded me, in some ways, of Leon where the 12-year-old Mathilda, played by Natalie Portman, and her neighbour, the professional assassin (Jean Reno), who reluctantly takes care of her after her entire family is killed. They too live in a series of hotel rooms.
Alice is more naïve, though, and seems to believe that all the things she glimpses and desires in the shop windows – a new coat and expensive high heels – turn up in her hotel room by magic. The illusionist becomes a father figure and spends his rapidly diminishing cash reserves on keeping her happy. To keep her in style, he takes on a series of low-level jobs, from working in a garage to practising magic in a department store shop window to sell their wares.
As his confidence in himself and his magic dwindles (his neighbours in the hotel, a suicidal clown and a ventriloquist, sink even lower and literally end up in the gutter), Alice blossoms into a fashionable young lady and finds love in the shape of a handsome young man whom she glimpses from her hotel window in a neighbouring house. (Their fairy tale romance is balanced by a scene where youths beat up a tramp.)
Her taken care of, the illusionist, disheartened, takes his props to a pawnshop and sets his rabbit free on Arthur's Seat, the mountain overlooking Edinburgh, and takes the train down to London. He leaves a note for Alice that says "Magicians do not exist".
While the plot is simple, this is not a sugary Walt Disney animation. There are various messages here about consumerism and the way a parent can become a magician in the eyes of a child and how that magic is destroyed. As well as a moving, utterly sad portrait of the artist who watches himself become an anachronism. For him, there is no happy end.
When I went to see the film I'd forgotten that it has become the subject of a bitter row after Chomet received the script from Tati's daughter Sophie and dedicated The Illusionist to her. However, the family of Tati's illegitimate eldest child, Hela Marie-Jeanne Schiel, argues that she inspired the film and that it shows Tati's sense of guilt and is an attempt to redeem himself after abandoning his first child.
To most viewers, this is not relevant. The Illusionist is one of the most exquisite animations you'll ever see, with an amazing attention to detail and a real sense of the places it depicts, in particular Edinburgh. I loved Belleville Rendezvous, Chomet's previous animated film (2003), but The Illusionist is even more special. It takes animation to a new level – without CGI (apart from one stunning 3D scene where the camera swoops down on Edinburgh and up again to give a panoramic view of the city), through old-fashioned drawing.
