Greg Beck, who lives on the North Shore by the French River, reports he had a pileated, a hairy, a downy and a red-bellied woodpecker on the same day recently.
The "red" has a neat call and prefers corn and black oil seeds to suet, Greg writes.
He got a couple of nice closeups of the red-bellied woodpecker:
Greg says he had been seeing the red-bellied woodpecker for a few weeks. I'm intrigued by all of the reports of this bird. Thanks so much to all of you who have shared your reports and pictures.

" Manufacturer: Middle England / Type: Betty Boop Figurine "
* Prices may differ from that shown
Apologies for the layout of this review, but I am unable to format it any differently as Dooyoo will now allow me to do so.
I am a huge fan of an adorable lady by the name of Betty Boop and have amassed a large amount of gorgeous figurines over the past four years. A purchase that I made a few months ago with some Amazon vouchers is named Betty Boop Holding Flowers and this review discusses the stunning collectable, which was introduced in 2009. The resin figurine is fairly heavy with a weight of over a kilogram and stands at 15 inches in height. Whilst many of the figurines are firmly attached to a glossy circular base the underside of Betty's dress has been used in this case where there are four small circular felt pads to ensure she is safely and securely displayed.
Betty is a tall, slim and extremely curvaceous lady and her stunning strapless red dress tightly hugs her figure and as a consequence, gives her a glamorous appearance. However, saying that, Betty always looks stunning regardless of what she wears. The figurine has been designed by The Hearst Holdings Inc who are also the owners of the Betty Boop trademark and no attention to detail has been spared as each section of the dress has been carefully created to provide the illusion of creases in the resin fabric as it perfectly flows towards Betty's feet. The gorgeous figurine has been carefully hand painted and despite scrutinising Betty I can find absolutely no flaws.
Betty is a lady who loves to show her flesh and the resin "fabric" of the dress separates at the top of her left thigh where her long and slender leg is on display. Betty's tiny fingers tightly grasp a small bunch of deep pink roses, which are absolutely stunning, as they have been perfectly created to illustrate the tiny petals and pale green leaves. The rear of her dress is absolutely spectacular as the bodice section forms a point at her waist with the fabric fitting snugly around her bottom. The dress flows into a fantail shape at her feet and fans back out to create a full appearance on the floor.
Betty wears a golden coloured pearl necklace around her petite neck and her ears are adorned with matching hoop earrings. Her beautiful black glossy curls are depicted by eight curvy points that run along the top of her head with eight curves situated around her hairline. Whilst Betty's facial features rarely differ from one figurine to the next, her appearance is slightly different as her normally puckered lips appear as if she is surprised. Her huge green eyes are looking sideways and display her long black eyelashes, which are framed by her perfectly groomed eye brows.
I am often asked which of the figurines I favour the most and whilst I am fond of them all for very different reasons, I absolutely adore this one due to its size as she stands out from the others. My other reason is that the colours of the beautiful red dress catch the light when she in one of my illuminated glass display cabinets. The manufacturer has carefully considered every aspect when creating this figurine as she is sheer perfection and for that reason, receives 5 stars from me together with a full recommendation. Betty is easily cleaned with a cloth and I use a small clean paintbrush to access the dust that collects between the folds of resin fabric. Located on the underside of the figurine is the familiar logo belonging to The Hearst Holdings Inc, which ensures the authenticity.
Despite this being one of the older figurines she is widely available in black or red and at the time of writing she can be purchased on Amazon for £58 inclusive of postage and packing.
I hope you found my review useful and thanks for reading.

I haven't blogged in close to 10 days. Things have actually been slowing down a little, but I have all these little pet projects that are all coming due this week. Oh, and I've been doing a little extra chilling out and reading books and stuff like that. I'm heading up to Fort Worth for a few days so I'll probably be quite here until Monday.… Read the rest

Child Dedication nuts and bolts (File management)
Posted on 18. Nov, 2010 by Kenny.
This week I've been writing out every detail of our Child Dedication process. This post is my last entry in this series, and probably one that's just a little shorter.
With the system and process that we have in place, it's very important that we keep all the files nice and tidy so that when a class or dedication comes up, everything is easily accessible. I thought I'd give you a sneak peak into how we store all the files pertinent to our process. For the past two years, I've kept these files neat and orderly, but not in a convenient place for anyone but me. Yeah, they've been sitting on my desktop. If I'm being totally honest, the fact that these are sitting on my desktop is what inspired this entire series. On Saturday after finishing our most recent Child Dedication, I finally decided that it was time to move the files off my computer and onto the church's server. However, I figured that I'd write this series before placing all the files on the server for safe keeping. I know, it doesn't totally make sense, but that's the way my mind works.
So, in my Child Dedication folder, I have four sub-folders.
Child Dedication Service, Media, Prep for Child Dedication Class and Service Files. I just hit one at a time for you.
Child Dedication Service Folder
This one is pretty simple. It has three documents in it. The first document is the Service Outline. These are my notes for my short talk. The second document is a service schedule. I make modification to it for every dedication and pass it out the the musicians, staff, and volunteers. It has timelines and cues for the service. The third document is an outline for dedications that I might do in someone's home.… Read the rest

How do your families serve together?
Posted on 17. Nov, 2010 by Kenny.
Right now my church is developing new strategies to mobilize serving throughout the city. We want every attendee to serve the needs of their neighbors. I've never been a part of a church that was so outward focused. It's still a little disorganized, but I'm really excited about where things are headed.
I've spent a lot of time lately thinking about how I can serve my neighbors. Too often it's really easy to hide behind our staff roles and serve our community through our jobs. My personal conviction is that it isn't enough. I get paid to do that, so is it really serving? My wife and I have talked and we really want to find opportunities to serve as a family, specifically opportunities that would be appropriate even for Titus (our three year old). It's really important to us that he grows up truly understanding what it means to have a lifestyle of service.
Yesterday I came across this great video. I love the idea of families coming together and taking on a serving project like this!

Child Dedication nuts and bolts (Information management)
Posted on 17. Nov, 2010 by Kenny.
This week I've been writing a series of nuts and bolts posts about how we do Child Dedications here at Gateway. I love establishing processes for things that are done over and over so that excellence happens ever time and so that things get easier every time they are done. Yesterday I wrote about the registration process and today I want to explain how we manage the data so that multiple people can know exactly what is going on and who is involved.
As I described in my blog post yesterday, we have a two part registration. One is for the Prep for Child Dedication Class and the other is for the actual dedication. The first registration is a Google form focused on getting information about the parents, family and situation where the second is a Fellowship One registration focused on getting information about the children being dedicated.
The first form is feeds to a google spreadsheet that is always live. After classes have passed, we just edit the "class selections" to new dates or put "Classes are TBD, but we'll contact you as soon as they've been scheduled." This way we always have a place for parents to sign up. Nothing bothers me more than a note saying, "registration is not yet open, come back later." With this alway live form, parents can sign up and know that they'll be taken care of once we get our dates set. This google spreadsheet is shared with my staff, so they can always see how many have signed up for a class.
Once all the classes happen, I will literally cut and paste all the data from those who attended one of the classes to a new google spreadsheet exactly how it appears on the original spreadsheet. Those who didn't show up to a class will remain on the original spreadsheet so that they will be contacted the next time a class happens.… Read the rest

Do you have a whiteboard in your kitchen?
Posted on 16. Nov, 2010 by Kenny.
I mentioned earlier today that I just finished Patrick Lencioni's book "The 3 Big Questions for the Frantic Family." I'm also nearing the end of a small group built around "Revolutionary Parenting" by George Barna. Both book, written by two different authors from two different perspectives and two different end goals seem to have one major thing in common.
Success isn't going to happen without intentionality and planning.
I got the very strong feeling that families who are intentional and plan around the development of their family and kids are peculiar (not that this is a bad thing at all). I remember several years ago (before Titus), Sara and I went off for an overnight trip in Dallas to develop a mission, vision and core values for our family and people thought this was kind of weird.
The conclusion I'm coming to is that families that proactively go after the spiritual development of their kids are the types of families that have whiteboards in their kitchens. Maybe it's not that extreme, but maybe they have sticky notes all over their bathroom mirrors (not reminders of when to pick up the kids from school) or giant sheets of paper taped to the wall in their home office outlining their goals, plans or improvement plan.
So, are you a whiteboard family? If you're one of these types of families, how do you chart, write or display your family strategy?… Read the rest

Book Review: The Three Big Questions for a Frantic Family
Posted on 16. Nov, 2010 by Kenny.
Lately I've been reading a lot of books about family ministry. Almost a year ago, I purchased 5-7 books on the topic of parenting or family ministry and lately I've been burning through that stack.
Last Friday I finished Patrick Lencioni's book, "The 3 Big Questions for a Frantic Family." I can't even begin to tell you how great this book was. If you've read any books by Patrick, you know his style and technique and I've never found anyone who didn't like his approach. Although he normally writes books for CEO's and businesses, this one is aimed at the family. Why?
Patrick explains that when he talks to CEO's and executives in companies, they often talk about their families and how their families are even more important to them than their companies and careers, but most feel like their families are frantic and disorganized. Lencioni recognized this in his own family as well and began to recognize the problem. Most parents don't see their families as organizations, yet it is probably the most important organization they'll ever be a part of. When parents stop reacting and begin to take action using some of the same principles used by successful companies, they might be surprised by the results.
When I closed this book, I was ready to get started. Sara and I are currently in a small group working through the book and study guide of Revolutionary Parenting and it's amazing how much the two books worked hand in hand. We had some brief discussions and I'm excited to put some of the concepts from "3 Big Questions" into practice. Surprisingly, Sara and I have already written vision and mission statements for our family along with a list of core values. However, in about five minutes of casual talking, we identified 3-4 core values that are probably more true to who we are than the ones we wrote out a few years ago after much debate and planning.… Read the rest

Child Dedication nuts and bolts (Registration process)
Posted on 16. Nov, 2010 by Kenny.
As much as possible, I try to automate as much of our processes as possible. I've gone back and forth on several methods but have finally arrived on what I feel is a pretty effective model for Child Dedication that is simple and efficient.
We used to be overwhelmed by questions about child dedication or child baptism which prompted me to put every bit of information a parent might need to know about what we believe and do on our website. Click here to visit our dedication page. Currently it isn't very pretty, but it's functional. I've trained our receptionists, admins or anyone else who might get emails and phone calls about dedication to direct people to the dedication page on our website. From here, families can lean what we do, why we do it and register for the next available class.
Registration for Child Dedication is a two step process for most families. Let me explain what I mean. Attending a Prep for Child Dedication Class is required to participate in Child Dedication. So, on the website they are directed to register for a class (I usually offer 3 classes for convenience). However, I usually have one or two families who have already attended the class, but want to dedicate new children. I usually don't require them to attend the class again, but send them a link to the registration for the actual dedication (I'll get into the diference later).
I've found that it is easiest to create a google form for people to register for a dedication class. I've used both google forms as well as Fellowship One registrations and have found the google form to be most efficient. Essentially, I can always have one form active. Once a class is over, I can remove it from the choices of classes to attend.… Read the rest

I am already thinking about promotion Sunday
Posted on 15. Nov, 2010 by Kenny.
A few days I got an email from a friend in TN asking me some questions about how and when we promote. I'm really glad he asked because it reminded me of some questions I wanted to revisit and some frustrations I've run into for the past two years. He wanted to know what other churches do, so I figured I'd ask all of you. First, let me explain what we do here at Gateway, why we do it this way and what I've been frustrated about.
For the past two summers, we promoted in August, the week kids start their new classes in school. Actually, I've promoted the week school started every year I've been in ministry except for one I think. I've always preferred promoting at the end of the summer for several reasons:
- It gives those Kindergarteners promoting into 1st grade an extra 2-3 months to mature and get ready for the older environment.
- It allows our 5th graders one more summer to participate in Kids Camp as Middle School Camp might be too much for them and if they haven't promoted yet, there won't be any confusion on what camp to attend (If I'm being perfectly honest, it's probably my desire to hang on to the 5th graders just a little bit longer).
- Promotion Sunday is always a highly attended Sunday as families are all back in town, so it's easy to communicate their promotion since most everyone is there. At the end of the school year, attendance is down and it's harder to create the same buzz.
Those are my reason for doing it when I do. However I have one reason against and it really frustrates me like crazy!
When a kid finishes the 4th grade, the last day of school in his eyes, he considers himself a 5th grader.… Read the rest

Parents in Transition
Posted on 15. Nov, 2010 by Reggie Joiner.
Time flies fast from elementary to college age, so get ready to change your parenting habits. Every child seems to move in warp speed toward the teenage years.
I was caught by surprise when a new declaration of personal independence was automatically assumed the day my son got his driver's license. It was as though I represented an oppressive and extremely unfair regime whenever I tried to enforce any rule. (Whenever I said no to one of my teenage daughters, she would go to her bedroom, close the door and play Britney Spears' "Overprotected†over and over again for over an hour, loud enough for me and the whole house to hear.) I have to admit, it was difficult for me to transition from parenting children to parenting teenagers. I had worked with teenagers all of my life, but I had never actually had any living in my home. I am still a recovering parent of teens, but here are a few things I have recognized about this chapter of parenting:
It's a complicated time.
While your children are transitioning from being dependent to independent, you are transitioning as a parent from having authority to leveraging your influence. You can't parent them the same way you did when they were in elementary school.
It's an urgent time.
Face it. You know a window is closing fast. Ready or not, in a few short years your children will be leaving home. You are running out of time, and it is easy to feel a little panicked. Everything seems to matter more (grades, decisions, relationships.) And to make matters worse, everything costs more too. Have I mentioned the price of college these days? Feeling better?
Keep fighting for your teenager's emotional health by investing in relational time with them. Especially during this uncertain season, they need a positive relationship with you more than you or they may realize.… Read the rest

2006 / Sony Ericsson K700i and Linux
Sony Ericsson K700i and Linux
Welcome to my little page about the Sony Ericsson K700i and how to make it work with Linux. Most of these instructions apply to Debian GNU/Linux, but you should be able to do similar things with other distributions - after all, most of the time, it's just about how to install the right packages - everything else should stay the same.
This is by no means a complete guide on what you can do with your mobile phone and Linux, just some hints which I want to share with you - most of these things I couldn't find anywhere else on the 'net.
Getting the software you need
Depending on how you connect your K700i to your Linux machine, you have to install different packages. As I'm using my K700i on a hp omnibook xe4500, I have access to an IrDA port. Additionally, I bought myself a Bluetooth USB dongle, so I don't have to place the K700i in front of the infrared port everytime I want to transfer something.
Infrared (IrDA)
Install the required packages with the command
Bluetooth (Bluez stack)
To enable Bluetooth support in Debian, make sure you've got a
recent kernel (works for me with a 2.6 kernel) with Bluetooth
support and a Bluetooth adapter that works with Linux. Then,
install the required packages with
Generic packages (for both IrDA and Bluetooth)
Apart from the interface-specific packages, there are a bunch
of tools which you should install - these really get most of
the work done. Here is a list of packages which might be useful
for you. You install the package with the usual
Bluetooth pairing
For your computer and your mobile phone to trust each other, you have to pair the devices. A nice tutorial on how to do this can be found here: http://www.teaparty.net/technotes/blue-gprs.html.
Send/receive files from/to K700i
This is done using obexftp, see here for more information: http://openobex.triq.net/obexftp/examples
Control your desktop with bluemote
See instructions on http://www.geocities.com/saravkrish/progs/bluemote/
Control xmms with bluexmms
Similiar to bluemote: http://linuxbrit.co.uk/bluexmms/
To get the
# # RFCOMM configuration file. # rfcomm0 { # Automatically bind the device at startup bind yes; # Bluetooth address of the device device 00:11:22:33:44:55; # RFCOMM channel for the connection channel 1; # Description of the connection comment "My K700i"; }
Issue a
Use your K700i as keyboard/mouse (HID)
It is possible to use your K700i as a keyboard or mouse with
the help of the bluetooth HID interface. Make sure you have
#!/bin/bash sudo modprobe hidp sudo hidd --connect 00:11:22:33:44:55
Of course, you have to replace
An alternative approach to phonebook management
Opposed to popular belief, GUI software that pretends to be able to handle your contacts the right way (and sync it the way you want) often doesn't really do the right thing™. Your best bet (if you've got the time) is to manage your phone books on your computer, only syncing in one direction (that is, to your K700i).
Basically, you can create your phone book using the great
#!/bin/bash # convert abook adressbook to other formats # thomas perl <thp at perli.net> 20060528 BOOKFILE=~/.abook/addressbook BOOKFORMAT=abook FORMAT=allcsv OUTFILE=~/addressbook.csv abook --convert --informat "$BOOKFORMAT" --infile "$BOOKFILE" --outformat "$FORMAT" >"$OUTFILE"
Using this script, you then get a
Now, rename the vcf file generated by
If all went well,
you now have a fine address book that is consistent with what you have on
your PC (and is also backed up right on your PC). You can now experiment a
little more with
The truth about themes
Themeing the K700i is cool - there exist tools with which you can create your own themes, but if you just want to GIMP up some theme of your own with everything under your control: untar your .thm files! That's right: A .thm file is nothing more than a tarball (non-gzipped) with the relevant files in it. There exists a XML file which describes generic colors and filenames and also a bunch of graphic files which can be edited with - for example - The GIMP. It's easy and fun - you just have to fiddle around for an afternoon or so.
If you want to have it easier: mTC (myTheme Creator) can assist you on creating a theme.

The first time business owners in Midtown noticed something was wrong with the timing on the traffic light at Center Street was Memorial Day weekend, the beginning of Ruidoso's heavy tourism season.
Traffic backed up for blocks. The signal took so long to change that some drivers sped through the red light.
Last weekend, the Labor Day end to the traditional tourist season, the signal seemed to be working, Ruidoso Village Councilor Joseph Eby said.
After the Memorial Day fiasco, village officials complained to the New Mexico Department of Transportation, the agency responsible for the traffic signals on state highways.
"It could have been happening before, but with only local traffic, cars didn't back up as far. It was dangerous," Eby said. "People would get frustrated and try to go through. We had the same thing at White Mountain Drive and Mechem Drive, but it's not in the same heavy tourism area and people didn't notice as much. When we had the Midtown (New Mexico 48) realignment meeting at the convention center, I spoke to someone and they fixed White Mountain."
Councilor Lynn Crawford, who owns Dreamcatchers Cafe in Midtown, said the Center Street light messed up again on the July Fourth holiday weekend and that generated a flurry of calls to DOT officials.
Village Manager Debi Lee reported that Anthony Sandoval, New Mexico DOT Traffic Signal supervisor, directed his crew to reevaluate the signal light at the intersection of Center Street and Sudderth Drive when the problem with delays persisted. The technicians discovered a mechanical failure in the control panel and replaced the defective module, she said.
"The traffic signal currently has been operating without any malfunctions, allowing for regular automobile and pedestrian traffic flow."

Megalocornea Mental Retardation Syndrome

National Organization for Rare Disorders, Inc.

Information on the following diseases can be found in the Related Disorders section of this report:
- None
General Discussion
Megalocornea-mental retardation (MMR) syndrome, otherwise known as Neuhauser syndrome, is an extremely rare genetic disorder characterized by distinctive abnormalities of the eye, several degrees of cognitive impairment, and a wide variety of additional symptoms The range and severity of the symptoms varies greatly from one person to another, which has led some researchers to suggest that MMR syndrome encompasses several distinct, but similar disorders. The exact cause of the disorder is unknown. Some cases appear to follow an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern.
Affected individuals will not have all of the symptoms discussed below.
The more specific symptom is a distinctive eye abnormality known as megalocornea, which is the abnormal, nonprogressive enlargement of the cornea that occurs without the presence of increased pressure within the eye (glaucoma). The cornea is the clear (transparent) outer layer of the eye, and has two functions - it protects the rest of the eye from dust, germs and other harmful or irritating material, and it acts as the eye's outermost lens, bending incoming light onto the inner lens, where the light is then directed to the retina (a membranous layer of light-sensing cells in the back of the eye). The retina converts light to images, which are then transmitted to the brain. The cornea must remain clear (transparent) to be able to focus incoming light. Megalocornea is present at birth (congenital) and usually is bilateral. Although the cornea is abnormally enlarged, it is otherwise normal in structure, curvature and thickness. Megalocornea may occur as an isolated finding (so-called uncomplicated megalocornea).
Some individuals with MMR syndrome have additional abnormalities affecting the eyes including underdevelopment (hypoplasia) of the colored portion of the eyes (iris), abnormal "unsteadiness" of the irises during eye movements (iridodonesis), and/or other ocular abnormalities. The various eye abnormalities associated with MMR syndrome can potentially lead to varying degrees of visual impairment.
In addition to eye abnormalities, affected individuals may also have neurological abnormalities including diminished muscle tone (hypotonia), delays in speech development, varying degrees of cognitive impairment, poor coordination and clumsiness, and delays in the acquisition of motor activities (psychomotor retardation). Less often, additional neurological symptoms may occur including hyperactivity, seizures, and involuntary movements of the face, arms and legs (limbs), and trunk consisting of slow, continual, writhing movements (athetosis) occurring in association with more rapid, jerky movements (choreoathetoid movements).
Individuals with MMR syndrome may also have distinctive features in the head and face area (craniofacial region) including microcephaly, condition that indicates that the head circumference is smaller than would be expected for an infant's age and sex. In other cases, affected individuals may have a disproportionally large head (macrocephaly). Additional findings may include an unusually prominent forehead (frontal bossing), widely spaced eyes (ocular hypertelorism), downwardly slanting eyelid folds (palpebral fissures), vertical skin folds between the inner corners of the eyes and the nose (epicanthal folds), a broad nasal bridge, a long upper lip, an abnormally small lower jaw (hypoplastic mandible), and/or unusually large and/or "cup-shaped" ears.
In rare cases, affected infants and children may have other rare physical malformations such as as abnormally long and/or permanently flexed fingers (camptodactyly), abnormal sideways curvature of the spine (scoliosis). Some affected individuals experience growth delays ultimately resulting in short stature.
Because the symptoms that occur in individual cases have been so variable, researchers believe that the reported cases of megalocornea-mental retardation syndrome may represent similar, yet distinct disorders. However, because of the small number of cases, it is difficult to separate and classify subtypes of MMR syndrome based on the clinical findings. Additional case reports are necessary to determine specific MMR syndrome subtypes.
The exact cause of MMR syndrome is unknown. Megalocornea, when occurring as an isolated finding, is usually inherited as an X-linked recessive trait. Recessive genetic disorders occur when an individual inherits the same abnormal gene for the same trait from each parent. If an individual receives one normal gene and one gene for the disease, the person will be a carrier for the disease, but usually will not show symptoms. The risk for two carrier parents to both pass the defective gene and, therefore, have an affected child is 25 percent with each pregnancy. The risk to have a child who is a carrier like the parents is 50 percent with each pregnancy. The chance for a child to receive normal genes from both parents and be genetically normal for that particular trait is 25 percent. The risk is the same for males and females.
Affected Populations
In reported cases, more males have had MMR syndrome than females. The disorder is present at birth (congenital). Approximately 37 cases of MMR syndrome have been reported in the medical literature. MMR syndrome was first described in the medical literature in 1975.
Related Disorders
Symptoms of the following disorders can be similar to those of MMR syndrome. Comparisons may be useful for a differential diagnosis.
There are a number of additional disorders that may be characterized by abnormalities of the eyes, hypotonia, psychomotor retardation, mental retardation, craniofacial malformations, and/or other abnormalities similar to those occurring in association with MMR syndrome. These disorders usually have other physical features that may differentiate them from MMR syndrome. (For more information on these disorders, choose the exact disease name in question as your search term in the Rare Disease Database.)
Standard Therapies
In most cases, MMR syndrome is diagnosed during early infancy or early childhood, based on a clinical evaluation, identification of characteristic physical findings, and/or a variety of specialized tests. According to the medical literature, many researchers agree that the presence of megalocornea and mental retardation should be considered the minimal criteria upon which to base a diagnosis. Abnormally diminished muscle tone (hypotonia) and craniofacial abnormalities may be apparent at birth (congenital). However, certain abnormalities associated with MMR syndrome such as psychomotor retardation, mental retardation, and/or short stature may not be confirmed until later during infancy or childhood.
In some cases, specialized tests may be conducted to confirm the presence of certain abnormalities that may be associated with MMR syndrome. For example, thorough examination may be conducted with an instrument that visualizes the interior of the eye (ophthalmoscopy) to detect, confirm, and/or characterize megalocornea, iris hypoplasia, and/or other ocular abnormalities potentially associated with the disorder.
In addition, in some affected infants and children, electroencephalography (EEG), which records the brain's electrical impulses, may reveal epileptic activity. Advanced X-ray studies may be used to confirm craniofacial malformations (e.g., microcephaly or macrocephaly, frontal bossing, mandibular hypoplasia) and/or skeletal abnormalities (e.g., camptodactyly, scoliosis) potentially associated with the disorder.
The treatment of MMR syndrome is directed toward the specific symptoms that are apparent in each individual. Treatment may require the coordinated efforts of a team of specialists. Pediatricians, surgeons, physical therapists, and specialists who asses and treat eye problems (ophthalmologists), neurological disorders (neurologists), and skeletal disorders (orthopedists) as well as other health care professionals may need to systematically and comprehensively plan an affect child's treatment.
In affected infants or children with megalocornea and/or iris abnormalities, corrective glasses, contact lenses, surgery, and/or other supportive techniques may be used to help improve vision.
In some affected infants and children with neuromuscular abnormalities, physical therapy and/or other supportive therapies may be used to help improve motor skills and coordination. In addition, in some cases, treatment with anticonvulsant drugs may help prevent, reduce, or control seizures potentially occurring in association with the disorder.
Early intervention is important to ensure that children with MMR syndrome reach their potential. Special services that may be beneficial to affected children may include special remedial education, special social support, and other medical, social, and/or vocational services. Genetic counseling may be of benefit for affected individuals and their families.

THE LAWYERS' STATEMENT. Meanwhile, the Calleja Law Office—the firm representing Annabelle—issued a statement yesterday, April 20, asserting that "there was no child abuse."
Atty. Connie Aquino and Atty. Howard Calleja wrote:
With regard to the recent resolution of the Quezon City fiscal's office to dismiss the charge for child abuse filed by Ms. Montenegro against our client Ms. Anabel Rama, we abide by the Honorable prosecutor's decision and welcome their ruling specifically on the child abuse charge , as it clearly reflects our client's innocence in the said matter.
With regard to Ms. Montenegro's statement that she intends to present new witnesses—that is well within her right or prerogative to do whatever pleases her. But again it must be reiterated that it is not the number of witnesses that matter in the end but only the truth. And the truth has already prevailed that there was no child abuse.
As clearly stated in the resolution, our client as talent manager is only tasked with the duty to procure assignments and projects for Ms. Montenegro's children , but decision making as to whether to accept these projects or to make them work for certain hours is still lodged with Ms. Montenegro.
All other allegations that she made in her statements which are unsupported by any evidence are all baseless and hearsay.
With regard to the libel cases still pending, it is likewise our client's right to file the proper motion for reconsideration with regard to the said cases; However, we would like to reiterate that the said libel charges are merely an offshoot of the principal case for child abuse. And now that the principal case has been dismissed, we are confident that these charges will likewise be eventually dismissed.
The site has already scheduled an interview with Nadia this coming week.
It has also sent word to Daisy through her daughter Danita. PEP is open to publishing whatever statement she may have.

Alabama Crimson Tide defensive lineman Terrence Cody (62) is blocked in 2009 by Louisiana State offensive guard Josh Dworaczyk (68) and defensive end Chase Clement (88) at Bryant Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa, Ala.

BATON ROUGE -- The media tend to have a quicker hook than do coaches.
"They have to make a change at left tackle," one sportswriter announced at halftime of Saturday's Louisiana State-Auburn game as Auburn put LSU on upset alert with a 10-9 lead.
At the time, LSU starting left tackle Josh Dworaczyk had given up two sacks of quarterback Zach Mettenberger to All-Southeastern Conference first-team defensive end Corey Lemonier. Lemonier was among the league leaders in sacks last season with 9.5 and finished ahead of LSU's Sam Montgomery and Barkevious Mingo. ...
