And so it came to pass that pirates found other things to do, and became ex-pirates. And there was great boredom and lack of merriment in the land. Not all of it, mind you, just in a lot of places.
And lo, the temperature rose, and it become uncomfortably warm in many places. Several species of penguin complained, and were beaten for speaking out of line.
And the infinitely wise Flying Spaghetti Monster found this to be a very bad thing, for if it was too warm, many people just ordered out for pizza, instead of partaking in a homecooked meal of holy pasta. Plus, there was a greivous lack of drunken sea chanties being sung, and His Noodlyness was bored.
And so He proclaimed that pirates were to be venerated, and lo, many men and women became pirates, and there was much drinking and merry-making, and much ramen was eaten in celebration.
However, since many of the pirates had bills to pay and children to feed, they became weekend pirates, which was just as good, because even without the piratical regalia, inside they remained the same swashbucklers.
Thus was born the Modern Pirate.


text: Law enforcement officers and emergency crews assist at the scene of single vehicle traffic accident on the road to C Canyon. The fatal incident occurred at approximately 1:22 a.m. on Aug. 26, confirmed Wellington Police Chief Lee Barry. Sgt. Kelly Maynes was apparently traveling along U.S. Highway when the Wellington officer spotted a 1995 Isuzu Rodeo matching the description of a vehicle reportedly involved in a hit-and-run mishap near Price. The officer responded to the attempt to locate public dispatch broadcast and stopped the vehicle near Sunnyside Junction. After talking briefly to Maynes, the Rodeo's driver, 48-year-old Rodger W. Goulding of East Carbon, reportedly pulled the vehicle on Utah State Road 123 and turned onto the canyon highway. Maynes followed the Rodeo and, less than one mile up the canyon, the vehicle veered off the roadway and rolled. Goulding was ejected from the vehicle and the victim died of injuries incurred in the accident, indicated Barry.

The Blue Gardenia (1953)
After learning that her boyfriend, a GI in Korea, has found someone else, Norah Larkin (Anne Baxter) impulsively agrees to meet womanizer Harry Prebble (Raymond Burr) for dinner. Norah allows herself to get drunk and accept Prebble's invitation to his apartment. When he tries to force himself on her, she hits him with a poker. Unfortunately, Prebble is found dead the next morning, and Norah, not even remembering how she got home, thinks that she killed him. Meanwhile, newspaperman Casey Mayo (Richard Conte), looking for an angle, invites the Blue Gardenia Murderess to turn herself in to him. The high point of the film is the interplay between the vulnerable Baxter and Burr at his smarmiest.~ Steve Press, All Movie Guide

The West Nile virus is transmitted by mosquitoes to birds, various animals, and humans. Most persons infected with this virus show no symptoms, although occasional infections can result in serious illness and even death.
West Nile virus has been commonly found in humans, birds, and other animals in Africa, Eastern Europe, Western Asia, and the Middle East, but until 1999 had not previously been documented in the Western Hemisphere. The U.S. viral strain is most closely related genetically to strains found in the Middle East.
Most people infected with this virus do not have any symptoms. Some people experience a mild illness characterized by slight fever, headache, body aches, skin rash, and swollen lymph nodes. More severe illness can include encephalitis (inflammation of the brain) and is marked by a rapid onset of a high fever, head and body aches, neck stiffness, muscle weakness, disorientation, coma, tremors, convulsions, and in the most severe cases, death.
Symptoms usually appear 3 to 15 days after exposure.
There is no evidence that pregnant women are at increased risk due to West Nile virus infection.
The West Nile virus, like most mosquito borne viruses, is found in wild and domestic birds. When a mosquito feeds on an infected bird, it can pick up the virus and transmit it to other, non infected birds. Occasionally, infective mosquitoes will feed on mammals such as horses, dogs, cats, and humans, and transmit the virus to them.
No, even in areas where mosquitoes do carry the virus, less than 1% are infected. If the mosquito is infected, less than 1% of people who get bitten and become infected will get severely ill. The chances you will become severely ill from any one mosquito bite are extremely small.
There is no evidence that a person can get the virus from handling live or dead infected birds. However, persons should avoid barehanded contact with any dead animals and use gloves or double plastic bags to place the carcass in a garbage can.
West Nile virus infection is not transmitted from person to person. For example, you cannot get the virus from touching or kissing a person who has the disease, or from a health care worker who has treated someone with the disease.
It is not necessary to limit any outdoor activities. However, you can and should try to reduce your risk of being bitten by mosquitoes. Mosquitoes are most active at dawn and dusk. Reducing the mosquito population around your home and property can be accomplished by eliminating standing water:
Hunters should follow the usual precautions when handling wild animals. They should wear gloves when handling and cleaning animals to prevent blood exposure to bare hands and meat should be cooked thoroughly. If hunters anticipate being exposed to mosquitoes, they should apply insect repellents to clothing and skin according to label instructions.
If you or your family members develop symptoms such as high fever, confusion, muscle weakness, and severe headache, you should see your health care provider immediately. Your health care provider will assess your risk for West Nile virus infection. If you are determined to be at high risk, your provider will draw a blood sample and send it to a laboratory for confirmation.
There currently is not a vaccine for West Nile , but several companies are working towards developing a vaccine. While there is no current treatment for the virus, patients are treated in a supportive care role. For example, if the patient has a high fever, then they would receive antibiotics based on their physician's recommendations.
There is no specific treatment for viral infections, other than to treat the symptoms and provide supportive care. In more severe cases, intensive supportive therapy is indicated, often involving hospitalization, intravenous fluids and nutrition, respiratory support, prevention of secondary infections, and good nursing care. Elderly persons are at highest risk for developing severe illness due to West Nile viral infection, so these individuals should promptly seek medical care if infection is suspected.

By JAMES FRANKLIN RINEHARTPrice
Once a year we set aside a day which we call Independence Day. It is celebrated by many people. Some fly their national emblem, but most do not. Many in fact, do not own a flag. But the flag is significant.
In the days of the ancient Nephite armies, Captain Moroni raised a flag to his people. They were at war. Their enemies were upon them from the outside, while from the inside traitors sought to destroy the freedom of the people, not only to erase liberty in government and set up a dictatorship but also to make the nation more than ever vulnerable to enemy attacks from without.
Moroni rallied his people to the flag for a two-fold purpose. One was to preserve their liberties at home and avoid enslavement. The other was to stir up the people to fight against outside armies seeking their destruction. He succeeded in both. He saved their liberty, putting down the traitors within, and fought to victory against invading armies from the outside.
In our own country, our leaders have done similar things. Washington was like Moroni in that he rallied loyalties at home and defeated enemies from abroad. Lincoln, too, was like Moroni, for he also united people under one flag, while resisting an enemy from without which would have taken advantage of a divided nation, weak from its battle wounds.
We need a Moroni today. But we need not only one, we need millions. Brave men and women who will stand up for the principles represented in their flag, and be willing if necessary to give their lives in its defense.
Today, as in the days of Moroni, we are under attack from two sides. From the inside we are subverted by traitors who would destroy our freedom in subtle ways. From without are the forces which would destroy that same freedom in their own vicious manner.
Only a united citizenry can defeat these enemies. Only harmonious action can provide the strength that is necessary under existing circumstances.
We must protect our rights as citizens. They are divine. We are granted free agency by the Almighty, who also gave us our free constitutional government to protect those rights. These too we must defend.
And we must be willing to unite under one banner, Old Glory, in unbroken resistance to oligarchical powers.
But as Lincoln said, fire power will not save our nation. Our salvation must arise from the hearts of the citizenry. And the hearts of the citizenry, to be successful, must have in them something other than hatred of the enemy, or than selfishness to preserve our easy way of life. They must be blessed with the divine faith of Washington, the mercy of Lincoln, and the full acceptance of the Lord Jesus Christ as the God of this land.
When we realize that the forces opposing us, both within and without, are anti-Christ in their purposes, we must recognize that this is no time for us to default to the enemy or give him aid or abet his efforts by allowing our faith in Christ to falter. This is no time to deny the Savior or doubt His divinity as many now do. This is no time to join the modern trend in saying that God is dead.
This should be a day of faith, of rededication to the Lord Jesus Christ and all His righteous principles. This should be a day to remember that His Gospel is the perfect law of liberty, and if we hope to preserve our liberty, there is only one way - and that perfect law upon which freedom is based.
Our country is dedicated to the principles of justice and liberty for.all. Its founders were devout, God-fearing men. Through the inspiration which came to them they provided for us a government based upon divine principles.
And those men adopted a flag to represent their ideals and the sacred principles of their hard-won liberty.
That flag was the Stars and Stripes.
To them it stood for all that they had put into the founding of this new republic. To them it represented freedom, justice, and equal rights for all. To them it meant a government of, by and for the people. It meant an answer to their prayers, earnest, heart-felt prayers which had accompanied every effort in the founding of this republic.
And it meant that Divine Providence watches over America. The flag should mean nothing less to us of today.
If we do not accept it, we should readjust our thinking, and learn what genuine Americanism really is.

After OFA defeated Canton 46-6 in its Northern Athletic Conference Football opener at home, on Friday night, Coach Matt Tessmer attributed the win to a very good week of practice after Saturdays scrimmage.
We did a good job cleaning up the mistakes we made last week in practice this week. It was a good solid win and now we need a very good week of practice to get ready to play at Malone Saturday, said Tessmer. A football team usually makes its most improvement of the season between the first and second game. And we all know that we need to make a big improvement.
Against a young Canton team, which showed toughness and signs of promise running the spread offense, the Blue Devils prospered offensively behind senior Josh Liebstein and freshman Joey Dalton who were both seeing their first varsity game action at quarterback.
Liebstein rushed for 77 yards including a two-point conversion, connected on six of seven passes for 40 yards with a 10-yard touchdown pass to Nick Sweeney (4-15) and caught a 15-yard scoring strike from Dalton who went 5-5 through the air for 90 yards with a pair of scores.
Daltons first touchdown came on a 26-yard connection with Jon Rogers in a 22-point second quarter and he set up his scoring toss to Liebstein in the third quarter with a 30-yard aerial to Ryan Denny. The second quarter burst was triggered by hard-running Jordan McCormick (6-71) who scored on runs of 20 yards and one yard. The second quarter burst was capped by Taylor Richardson scoring on a one-yard plunge after breaking free for a 44-yard scamper.
Rogers, who scored on his first two varsity touches, accounted for the only scoring of the first quarter with a 10-yard run.
In the third quarter OFA sandwiched touchdown catches by Sweeney and Liebstein around a spectacular scoring jaunt by Cantons Peyton VanBibber (14-111) who broke two tackles behind the line of scrimmage and the raced 70 yards down the right sideline to the endzone.
Josh Liebstein and Joey Dalton both played well at quarterback for us and we played good defense all night except for that one touchdown which was really a great play. We had him (VanBibber) in the backfield but he got away and then outran Josh (Liebstein)s pursuit down the sidleine which is hard to do, said Tessmer.
It looks like they (Canton) are starting to get things going with their program and I hope they keep it going. Their quarterback played well.
Cantons QB Hunter Yerdon gained 41 yards on eight carries and completed seven of 16 passes in the first half where he extended several plays with his roll-out and scrambling abilities. Louden Porter caught three passes for 27 yards in the first half. Jon Tayler caught three passes for 33 yards and kicked two PATs for OFA
Defensively Nolan Rufa set up a touchdown with an interception, Zach Barr recovered a fumble and McCormick (2), Rufa and Mitchel Barber all had key tackles behind the line of scrimmage in the first half break-away. Cantons T.J. Lumbard recovered a fumble in the endzone on OFAs first possession.
The OFA JVs won their season opener 32-0.

Chuck Berry Hail! Hail! Rock 'n' Roll
1987. USA. Taylor Hackford. 120 min.
Sunday, November 25, 2012, 2:30 p.m.
Theater 1 (The Roy and Niuta Titus Theater 1), T1
Chuck Berry Hail! Hail! Rock 'n' Roll
1987. USA. Directed by Taylor Hackford. With Chuck Berry, Eric Clapton, Bo Diddley, Etta James, John Lennon. "I've stolen every lick he ever played," Keith Richards said upon inducting Chuck Berry as one of the first musicians in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986. Richards served as musical director for Chuck Berry's exhilarating 60th birthday concert in Hackford's documentary film, the portrait of a tough son-of-a-bitch who also happens to have changed the course of music forever. "When I went with Hackford to see Chuck at his home in Wentzville, just outside Saint Louis," Richards recalls in his memoir Life, "I waited until the second day to slide the question. They're all talking about lighting, and I just said to Chuck, I don't know if this is a good question because I don't know your relationship, but is Johnnie Johnson [Berry's original piano player and the cowriter of many Chuck Berry hits] still about?....[Could] you two play together? Yeah, he said. Shit, yeah. A tense moment. Suddenly I've put Johnnie Johnson back together with Chuck Berry. The possibilities are endless. Chuck rolled right in there and it was a good decision, because he got a great movie out of it and a great band….the best Chuck Berry live you're every going to get."

The National Fire Protection Association recommends that local residents start preparing for a disaster.
Get Ready! Preparing Your Community for a Disaster is a comprehensive guide developed by NFPA to make the task more manageable.
The kit was recently sent by the non-profit organization to 30,000 fire departments across the country as a resource to help the community prepare.
"Preparing yourself, your family and your community for the unexpected can be a frightening endeavor, but being caught unprepared in the face of disaster can prove to be deadly," said Judy Comoletti, assistant vice president of public education for NFPA. "The Get Ready! program is designed to help people develop their emergency plan by putting much needed informational materials at their fingertips."
Recent disastrous events have served as reminders that there is no single preparedness tool more important than a plan, pointed out the NFPA representative.
The nationwide program provides a foundation for understanding what to do, where to go and how to survive in a disaster.
According to the National Fire Protection Association, the informational sheets provide guidance on what to do before, during and after an incident occurs.
Emergency situations addressed by the nationwide program include home fires, blackouts, hurricanes, landslides, thunderstorms, tornadoes, earthquakes, national security, volcanoes, extreme heat, nuclear incidents, wildfires, floods, older adults, winter storms, hazardous materials, people with disabilities and pets.
The guide also provides a lesson plan and presentation materials to make conducting a community preparedness workshop relatively easy.
A family emergency plan is available for download as well as an emergency supplies kit checklist, indicated the National Fire Protection Association representative .
The program was developed by NFPA for fire departments at locations throughout the nation.
The project was funded by the United States Department of Homeland Security, Office of Domestic Preparedness.
NFPA suggests the following tips to keep in mind when preparing for a disaster.
To prepare before a disaster, people should:
Be informed.
Make a plan for disaster scenarios.
Get an emergency kit.
Volunteer to help others.
Carbon County residents should develop an emergency plan that includes the following.
Escape and evacuation routes.
Family communications.
Utility shut-off and safety.
Vital records.
Caring for animals during a disaster.
Safety skills that family members should know concerning the aftermath.
Local residents should develop an emergency supplies kit that at a minimum includes the following:
A minimum three-day supply of bottled water.
A seven-day supply is best, with a three-day supply ready to take with the family, noted the National Fire Protection Association.
One gallon of water per family member per day is recommended.
Food. Avoid foods that cause thirst. Include canned foods, dry mixes, and other nonperishable food. Remember to include a hand can opener.
A battery-powered radio with extra batteries or a hand-crank radio.
Flashlights and extra batteries.
First aid kit.
Sanitation and hygiene items.
Matches in a waterproof container.
A whistle.
Extra clothing.
Cooking utensils.
Photocopies of credit and identification cards
Items for infants in the family.
A personal pack for children.

Treat your GOGmix as your child - name it! ;)
Coming up with a cool and descriptive title should be your first priority. Being original is in your best interest - bet you wanna get lots of nice votes, right? Go all crazy if you want, but be sure to keep it civil!
So, what are the ingredients?
Pick a game that belongs in your GOGmix from the list, or find it by typing something in the text field. Relevance is key here - Earthworm Jim doesn't quite fit the "Sexiest heroines of all time" bill now, does it?
Justify your choice... Or not!
OK, so it's not required, but now that you went through the trouble of adding a game, telling everyone why you did it would be a nice finishing touch. After you're done here, add another game, rinse, repeat.

|Road Trip Starts off Right, 'Dads Win
|Written by Staff Reports
|Friday, 12 April 2013 07:59
The Hickory Crawdads hit the road Thursday night hoping the road would help cure their early season woes, and at least for one night it did. The 'Dads struck for six early runs against the rival Kannapolis
Intimidators and rode their pitching to a 6-1 win at CMC-NorthEast Stadium.
A Crawdads offense that entered the night struggling to come through with clutch hits exploded for six runs over the first three innings to take a lead they would never relinquish. The bats would be backed up by a solid all-around pitching performance that included 9 combined strikeouts and just four hits allowed.
Leadoff hitter Lewis Brinson started the party with a double inside the third base line to leadoff the first and came in one out later on an RBI double by right fielder Nomar Mazara.
After the Intimidators tied the score with a leadoff solo homer from Micah Johnson in the bottom of the first, Hickory left fielder Jordan Akins gave his team the lead back with an RBI double off the left field wall. Akins would come in one batter later on an RBI groundout from shortstop Luis Marte to put the 'Dads up 3-1.
Hickory would finish the scoring and give themselves some breathing room in the third when second baseman Ryan Rua launched a two-out, two on pitch off the top of the center field wall. The hustling Rua never stopped running and, with the encouragement of Manager Corey Ragsdale coaching at third, ran all the way around the bases for a 3-run, inside the park home run.
The unconventional long ball was more than enough for starting pitcher Conner Sadzeck and the Hickory bullpen. Sadzeck put together arguably the best start of any Crawdad this year, as the right hander held Kannapolis to just one run on three hits and four strikeouts over his five innings pitched.
The much maligned 'Dads bullpen took over the sixth and didn't miss a beat, with Jose Valdespina and Ryne Slack combining to toss four shutout innings to close out the win.
Rua finished the game 1-4 with his second homer of the year and RBIs 5, 6, and 7. Brinson came away with this second 3-hit game of the year going 3-5 while Akins also had a multi-hit game going 2-4.
Sadzeck (1-0) picked up the first win by a Crawdads starting pitcher this season while Kannapolis starter Brandon Brennan (0-1) took the loss after allowing all six 'Dads runs, five earned, on eight hits during his six frames on the mound.
With the win the Crawdads (3-5) take a game from the first place Intimidators (5-3). The two clubs will meet up again Friday night at 7:05 for game two of their four-game series.
NOTES: The Crawdads will take on the Intimidators again Friday night at 7:05 for game two of their 4-game series....Individual Tickets for all Crawdads home games are available right now at Hickorycrawdads.com or by calling (828) 322-3000!

Deadline for replies extended (EGNOS Open Service Users' satisfaction survey)
This process aims at collecting valuable feedback from current and potential EGNOS Open Service (OS) users and stakeholders. It will run until July 12th, 2013.
This questionnaire is intended to gather feedback on the level of satisfaction of EGNOS Open Service users, application developers or stakeholders, as well as a means for them to provide any valuable suggestion or recommendation to the EGNOS Service Provider, in accordance with ISO 9001 requirements aimed at the improvement of the quality of the service provided.
The main conclusions and outputs of this questionnaire will be shared with the users.
EGNOS is owned by the European Commission and was launched in 2009 to be part of the Galileo global satellite navigation system. The European Space Agency designed EGNOS under a delegation agreement with the Commission.
EGNOS is the first pan-European satellite navigation system. Similar services are provided in North America by the Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS), in Japan by the Multifunctional Satellite Augmentation System (MSAS) and in India by the GAGAN System. Other similar Satellite Based Augmentation Systems (SBAS) are under study or development in other regions of the world.

On Job Seeking and Disability Acknowledgment
So far that firm has actually been surprisingly helpful -- I mean no, I haven't found a new job yet, but I've definitely got my resume in much better shape and I've got a decent idea of where to start.
But anyway, I'll get to the point of this entry: during a recent meeting with my go-to person (whom I'll abbreviate as GTP from now on) at the firm, I had an interesting experience with "not passing".
I had not mentioned specifically that I was on the autistic spectrum, and had not intended to bring it up unless it became inevitable or "absolutely necessary".
And I have to admit I was sort of assuming I was "passing".
But then, out of the blue (from my perspective), at one point during the meeting the GTP asked if I was "able to establish eye contact".
That, in turn, led into a discussion about disabilities, and disclosure, and "barriers" I might face in my job search. My GTP noted that she could tell I was "bright" and "able to work", but that clearly I would likely encounter some difficulty in, say, an interview setting (and there are also various "on the job" issues that would likely come up, but first things first).
This got me thinking: at my prior job (the only job I had post-college, in fact), I never had to deal with the Big Interview that "regular" new prospects went through, seeing as I'd already proven my technical prowess as a summer intern (a position I was assisted in getting via a family member who worked for that company).
And I did face difficulties at that job, but managed to stay employed there anyway -- probably in no small part because I started figuring out some things about how my brain worked, and was able to actually put some terminology to it (one reason I'm glad to have an actual diagnosis; some people may not need one, and some might disagree with the concept, and I myself disagree with "medicalizing" autism -- but right now, for many of us, a diagnosis is really the only route to actually getting needed accommodations, etc.).
So, to make a long story slightly less long, I got referred by the GTP at the job-search assistance firm to another GTP who is affiliated with the aforementioned nonprofit. And it sounds like they may actually have some information and/or resources that would be helpful to me (and others like me).
But: in order to get "officially" involved with them I would have to get a "verification of disability" from a medical professional. As in, my doctor would have to fill out a form, which I guess I would then give to the agency (or something).
That should not be too difficult for me -- so long as my COBRA application went through, I should have access to the same doctors I was seeing prior to the layoff. And I can't imagine [particular doctor] refusing to fill out the form (though I am slightly worried that they perhaps won't have time).
But: that's me. I am all kinds of lucky and privileged (class privilege, white privilege, etc.). This means that while, yes, I am disabled in some respects, I also have a lot of "safety nets" in my life that help reduce the amount of sheer fail I'm likely to encounter when things go badly.
And...not everyone who might presumably need help with their job search is going to have access to these safety nets, nor to professionally-sanctioned "proof of disability". I am not blaming the nonprofit for this -- it's part of the culture we're in, to imagine that "gatekeepers" must exist between individuals and services. And there may be good reasons to have those gatekeepers in some situations.
Still, though, it worries me to think that there might be some other autistic person out there who might not even have an official diagnosis, let alone an accessible and willing professional to fill out forms for them. People of color and folks from low-income backgrounds, so I've read, tend to be way under-identified with developmental issues; instead they get presumed to have "behavior problems". As a middle-class white nerd living in Silicon Valley it is not lost on me that (aside from being female) I'm probably in the Most Likely To Be Identified group as far as ASD is concerned.
There are also logistical challenges that go along with this sort of thing (forms, setting up with nonprofits and service organizations) that, heck, I don't even know if I will be able to handle myself, and I'm in a pretty good position (all things considered) for someone of my neurology.
So...I am not sure where I am going with this, except to say two things:
(1) Please, if you are a professional or just a Concerned Acquaintance, or friend, or family member of a disabled person who is looking for work, do not think you are somehow helping to say things like "oh, don't call yourself disabled! You're too smart/talented/good at [thing]! Why do you want to sell yourself short?"
Not only is this incredibly patronizing, it could very well end up feeding into the disabled person's already-present internalized stigma. And making them reluctant to even use services that might be a huge help to them, because of "not wanting to define [self] as 'disabled'", even when it's actually quite contextually appropriate to do so.
(And I am writing this in part to encourage myself here, because I actually have a lot of internalized stigma myself, and have been feeling guilty all day about the prospect of benefitting from a service meant to assist disabled jobseekers. Even though I was referred to the GTP for this service by someone who called me out on my own disability because they could see it themselves. *headdesk*)
I realize that some of this kind of response might stem from the fact that some people equate "disability" with "sickness", or more generally with meaning a person is intrinsically broken or damaged.
I've taken part in some very frustrating discussions wherein the other party just does not seem to get that disability does not HAVE to mean anything bad, but is rather a neutral description of a situation that needs to be addressed (i.e., that I have non-standard needs in some areas, and that no, pretending they don't exist is not going to make them go away).
Also, I don't put any stock in philosophies that seek to build up some people's sense of self-worth at the expense of others. Hence, no, I do not consider it reassuring when someone tries to assert to me that I shouldn't apply concepts like "disability" to myself because that would mean failing to distance myself from the sorts of disabled people who are presumed to be tragic, pitiable, and undesirable.
When from my point of view, the problem is that pity is ever considered appropriate to apply to anyone, regardless of type or "magnitude" of their disability. There is no way you can simultaneously pity someone and see them as an equal, and it is grievously wrong to figure that someone who discloses or displays non-standard needs is somehow asking for pity. They aren't, and it's beyond insulting to presume they are.
(2) It does not actually help anyone to figure that people like me (that is, college graduates with engineering degrees and whatnot who are also on the autistic spectrum, etc.) are somehow "polluting" or "appropriating" the meaning of what it is to be autistic, or disabled, etc., to the detriment of folks who currently lack abilities we have.
I know full well that there are people with "spectrum" diagnoses who struggle a lot more than I do to be understood, or to deal with academics, or to perform "daily living" tasks.
I also know that there are people with "spectrum" diagnoses who drive, and who have PhDs, and who have a better sense of danger than I do.
And yet...I don't sit around getting annoyed at those folks and yelling about how they're "taking away" something from me, regardless of whether they can do more or fewer "standard" things than I can, at any given time.
Because they're not.
They have their own struggles, as well as their own triumphs, and the reality of what they've achieved (by standard measures) does not negate the fact that they might need non-standard forms of support in some areas.
Nor does extreme struggle in one or more areas negate the potential for capacity in other areas.
Disability is not a generalized lack of all ability, and I find it obnoxious and bizarre that autism in particular seems to be relegated to the "can't do ANYTHING" box so much of the time.
Which is a silly box to begin with -- I mean really, would you figure that if a blind person happened to (for instance) own a home or play a musical instrument that they weren't really blind? Pretty much everyone can do some things -- disabled people just have our can-dos and can't-dos in unexpected (per our culture) places.
So please, if you're tempted to say "but you can do [thing]! how dare you call yourself autistic/disabled!", just...don't. Because that would be ignorant, and would not actually help even a tiny bit to get better services for, say, non-verbal preschoolers or "severely impaired" adults.
Finally, I guess I would like to say that I think autism, and disability at large for that matter, should be a broad category**, sort of like how the designator "bird" can refer to both, say, penguins and hummingbirds. Calling a penguin a bird doesn't even begin to invalidate the reality of hummingbirds, after all.
* I may give the names of these groups/agencies in the future, especially so I can recommend them if they actually end up helping me get a job! But for now I am just referring generically to them, as I don't want to make this discussion about specific firms or service providers.
** Within reason, and with respect to good scientific/ethical practice. E.g., I don't think it makes any sense at all to call, say, gastrointestinal issues and food allergies "autism" (particularly when one is promoting the use of autistic kids as experimental subjects for any number of bizarre supplement regimens). I mean, good grief, one of my cats gets what I've come to term "poopfetti" (based on what I find in the litterbox afterward) whenever he eats anything containing corn...and I'm not about to go around calling that (corn intolerance + poopfetti) "autism", even though Brodie does like playing with string...

One thing I find odd about the "can't do anything" crowd is purely factual: Being diagnosed autistic currently requires the ability to do things. Many people end up not diagnosed at all, or only as having "traits", because they are too severely impaired in other areas to be able to do everything required for an autism diagnosis.
The people who make a stink about resenting autistic people who can do certain things, piss me off. Because attitudes like theirs contribute to the deaths of autistic people on a regular basis. And nothing can justify that cost.

Oh yeah, quite true. And, looking back at Kanner's original paper (not that that was the first-ever observation of autistics but still) it appears to me that the *main* thing Kanner noted was the presence of unexpected ability/disability combinations. NOT just a global lack of ability.
(And I honestly don't think anyone alive truly has NO ability to do ANYTHING, but there are a lot of abilities that either go un-noticed or aren't valued as much as others, or that people don't even bother looking for because they assume "this kind of person has no abilities".
Which is all sorts of screwed up, of course, but it's hard to even bring that kind of thing up without people assuming you're "sentimentalizing", which reminds me of how it's hard to note abilities in cats without being accused of "anthropomorphizing". When both sentimentalizing and anthropomorphizing do occur, but they look very different from just pointing out an ability or some other thing that might usually go overlooked about someone.)

Yeah that pisses me off loads as well.
It almost feels like there are "autism sentries" or something lurking just out of sight all the time, ready to jump out and "catch" autistic people displaying some or another ability. At which point they will (a) deny the person support (even if the support they ARE receiving is a huge reason they can do [thing] in the first place, and (b) accuse the autistic person of bad faith or dishonesty or something.
And both of those things can contribute to, as you mention, the death of autistic people (and if not that, to completely needless struggle and harm).

I was never diagnosed, but in my general reading I realized I fit the description of a high functioning autistic in the summer of 2003. Reading about it, even though I have never told anyone, has really helped me with some of my problems that I had never understood at all before that.
I am now 48 and still cannot do some things dealing with other people - I am especially bad at looking for work, since approaching people I don't already know is my biggest single problem.
Fortunately, I have relatively minor sensory issues; my skin is sensitive so I normally wear only light slacks and a T-shirt, and I have problems with strong odors; neither of which cause me too much problem at work (when I can find it).

Anne C.,
I'm studying business right now and the more I learn about the human resources aspect of the business world, the more completely unprepared I find them for the disabilities population in general and the autistic population in particular. The classes I'm taking are fairly progressive, but they don't even begin to address the complexity of these issues or prepare business professionals to handle their inevitable diverse workforce.
It's definitely an area in need of much, much improvement. Posts like this just reiterate my determination to address head-on, first in school and then after school as a writing/business professional.

I know I'm commenting somewhat late on this but it was an exceedingly relevant post for my current situation. I currently lost my job and thankfully I do have, and feel ok with using, my local disability services.
And I am sick and tired of people assuming because I'm good at one thing (school, I'm a very good student) that I'm good at things I struggle with (employment, driving, picking up on non-verbal cues) and if I'm not it's because I'm not trying hard enough or being deliberately ignorant of certain things. I wish less time was spent on 'cures' and such and more time was spent on educating people about ASDs, with input by actual autistic people.

unashamed: No problem on the "late" commenting, people can feel free to comment on posts from 2007 if they want to! I just have comment moderation turned on for posts over 60 days old because it helps cut down on spam.
Anyway, though, good luck on the job front (or finding other means to survive, if you need to). I know exactly what you mean re. people assuming that being skilled in one area means you can't have valid disabilities in other areas. That makes no sense to me and yet I run into it (or forms of it) all the time.
Right now I myself am still looking for work, and in the meantime volunteering, and wishing there was some way to have a "real" job that was LIKE volunteering in terms of its flexibility and such. I also wish there were more part-time job options because I got seriously burned out at my last job even though I "only" worked normal 40 hour weeks for the most part.

I'm finding myself in a relatively similar situation, since I moved to Portland around the same time, after finishing an IT position that I had obtained right after school.
I had saved up some money that I had considered was sufficient to survive until employment. I assumed that with the recent experience, the excellent references, in addition to the many industry-standard certifications I had obtained, that I would be able to more-easily get something lined-up.
Unfortunately, ~3.5 months later, with dwindling-finances, and many unsuccessful interviews, I'm just now beginning to realize that I seemingly have many Asperger-related personality-traits and thought-patterns that may be detrimental in my ability to interview. I'm finding the interviews are bad-enough that they are generally not even attempting to follow-up on the references, to learn that I'm actually good at what I do; and I can't exactly blame them.
I recently completed the AQ exam with a score that suggests there is high-probability of diagnosis. Though, I have no official-diagnosis to attempt to get related-services.
So, I have also been attempting to get any service-sector job, just to survive, only to be confronted with extensive online job-applications complete with personality-tests. However, after following-up, I'm finding that many companies use the personality-tests to pre-screen people to deny them interviews.
I have noticed, however, many of the questions are very similar questions that are found in the AQ; and they may be inadvertently pre-screening out AS personality-traits.
One such company actually refused to even attempt to interview until I pass the psych-test to their liking; recommending that I retake the test if I wanted an interview. I thought this was quite humorous, as they are essentially recommending that I lie to convince them my lie is the truth, even though they know I'd likely be lying if I retake it with different answers.
Upon further research, anecdotal-evidence suggests many people claiming to reach this bottleneck until they appropriately answer each question with mostly strongly-agree and/or strongly-disagree because it is purported that the exam assumes middle-answers do not metaphorically represent a strong enough personality to the company's liking.
In my mind, humans who think more deeply are usually not satisfied with extremist-answers, because other ideas and/or scenarios can often be imagined that suggest answers may fall somewhere in the middle. If that's true, essentially the company is either looking to hire overly-friendly people who don't think too deeply, or people who lie through their teeth to get what they want.
As much as I'm finding this humorously ridiculous, I'm also beginning to contemplate homelessness-services as a temporary measure. Which is a shame, because IT employment was only a natural-talent back-up plan to pay off previous college-debts in order to reapply myself towards regenerative-medicine and/or nanofabrication purposes.

They usually stand for "life's good," but this week, LG's trademark letters stood for something else entirely – "leaks guaranteed."
If you're building a new smartphone, as LG appears to be, you can pretty much assume someone's going to get a picture of it, and that before too long, the whole of the internet is going to see it.
The leak in question this time is what appears to be an LG-made Nexus device. Judging by the leaked photos, which appeared in the XDA-Developers forum, Engaget says the LG E960 "appears to be a variant of the Optimus G – until you realize that it's using software navigation keys, doesn't quite resemble the international or AT&T Optimus G models and is oddly badged as the 'Full JellyBean on Mako.'"
Both Engaget and Mobile Syrup are hailing the new Android-powered LG smartphone as the future Nexus device, with the latter noting the similarities between the E960 and the LG Optimus G.
It's apparently got the same "rather boxy design, a 1280×768 4.7-inch IPS screen, a 1.5Ghz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro processor, 2GB RAM, 16GB internal storage and that awesome-sounding 13MP camera," says Mobile Syrup.
The device also bears some resemblance to Samsung's Galaxy Nexus, though the E960's corners seem more rounded than those of of the LG Optimus G, and it's backing is flatter, with a sleeker design than that of the Galaxy Nexus.
Meanwhile, says Mobile Syrup, the fact that the E960 has recently passed through FCC certification "showing off PCS and AWS bands for HSPA+ and AWS bands for LTE," hints that the new smartphone is likely to be available on a number of networks, potentially making it "one of the most multi-faceted unlocked phones on the market."
Based on the assumption that LG is in fact producing the next Nexus device – which it probably is – there's talk that the LG E960 may be ready by early November.

Laryngitis Overview
Laryngitis is the medical term for inflammation and swelling of the larynx, which is also known as the voice box. Most of the causes of laryngitis, such as common viruses infections or using your voice too much, are not serious. A few causes, however, require medical attention and can be cause for concern such as laryngeal cancer. As such, when laryngitis persists, be aware that this may indicate a more significant medical problem.

Georgia-Pacific to acquire chemical cellulose manufacturer in $1.5-billion deal
April 26, 2013 | Francinia Protti-Alvarez
Georgia-Pacific (Atlanta) plans to acquire Buckeye Technologies (Memphis, TN) in a $1.5-billion deal including debt, the companies have announced. The transaction will result in Georgia-Pacific paying out about $37.50/share in cash, or $1.4 billion, a premium of 29% based on the average closing price of Buckeye's common stock over the last week. The cash tender offer is not conditional on financing. The deal would move Georgia-Pacific, a paper company, into the specialty fibers market. "Buckeye Technologies' competitive assets and capabilities strongly...
