What is the fastest algorithm that exists up with to solve a particular NP-Complete problem? For example, a naive implementation of travelling salesman is O(n!), but with dynamic programming it can be done in O(n^2 * 2^n). Is there any perhaps "easier" NP-Complete problem that has a better running time?
I'm curious about exact solutions, not approximations.

Now up for grabs is a Free Sample Gerber Cloth Diaper Product Testing.
This requires a "survey" but it's more of a quick screening to make sure you are a good candidate to send this freebie for a product test. So go on….and press your luck and test your information and see what happens.
Dads always get the short end of the stick when it comes to parenting….I mean look at this stereotype….How arduous could it be to put on a diaper? What dad didn't know how to do is take his daughter to a normal portrait studio. Of course, he had to take her to the zany one that all his parent friend told him not to.

Data Deposit Box
Data Deposit Box : Restore Display Shows Compressed Size. The file being restored is 160MB; the restore progress window shows its compressed size of 29.07MB.
9 / 17
Bottom Line
Data Deposit Box makes backing up files and paying for the storage wonderfully simple, but neither of its restore methods offers access to all features, and the local client is particularly awkward. We hope the next version makes restoring files as simple as backing them up.

The critically acclaimed Bristol Old Vic production of Swallows And Amazons is to open at London's Vaudeville Theatre.
Swallows and Amazons will perform at the Vaudeville Theatre from 15 December to 14 January 2012. It is based on the classic children's novel by Arthur Ransome. The music for the show will be provided by Neil Hannon who is widely known for his part in the Irish band The Divine Comedy. The production will be aimed at an audience of ages six and older.
Swallows and Amazons follows the holiday events of the Walker and Blackett children. Watch as Captain John and his crew set sail to Wildcat Island on an exciting adventure to encounter savages, capture pirates and defeat mortal enemies.
The show was developed at the National Theatre Studio and is presented by the National Theatre and the Children's Touring Partnership.
Currently showing at the Vaudeville Theatre is the energetic The Flying Karamazov Brothers and another children's classic The Tiger Who Came To Tea. These two will then be followed by a short run of Arthur Miller's Broken Glass and Swallows and Amazons will end the year.

"An earthquake will destroy a sizable portion of the coastal Northwest. The question is when," says Kathryn Schulz at the New Yorker:
… Read the rest
…Most people in the United States know just one fault line by name: the San Andreas, which runs nearly the length of California and is perpetually rumored to be on the verge of unleashing "the big one." That rumor is misleading, no matter what the San Andreas ever does. Every fault line has an upper limit to its potency, determined by its length and width, and by how far it can slip. For the San Andreas, one of the most extensively studied and best understood fault lines in the world, that upper limit is roughly an 8.2—a powerful earthquake, but, because the Richter scale is logarithmic, only six per cent as strong as the 2011 event in Japan.
Just north of the San Andreas, however, lies another fault line.

I had so much fun at the Exotic Erotic Ball! I went as a VIP Performer like I did last year. I came on right after the opening act. I jumped out of a cake to celebrate the 25th anniversary!
I met the band "Everclear" right before the performed on stage, and they wanted me to go to the afterparty with them. I was on stage the whole time when they were performing, and was dancing with another girl most of the time, and Perry Mann's event coordinator liked me a lot for the calander, so I'll keep you guys up to date on that.
I also met and took pictures with Ron Jeremy! It was awesome! I should be on E! Wild On very soon. I'm in a latex/PVC Taxi Driver costume. I even met Perry Mann who is the founder of the Exotic Erotic Ball. I got a lot of great pictures, and I'll be sure to post them in my Yahoo Group soon, so everyone can see what I'm talking about! :)

A ten year-old boy living in a remote region of the Brazilian mountains enlists the aid of his brother and best friend in order to confront a world defined by silence, betrayal, and violence. Thiago is a child whose unusual insight into the adult world has left him with little hope for the future. In Thiago's eyes, the grown-ups around him seem to sleepwalk through a life defined by pettiness and greed. Perhaps with a little help from his understanding sibling Felipe this gifted young child will learn to create a whole new world. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Department of Psychology
Dr. Lloyd Stires presented the following information on the GRE General and Psychology Subject Tests at a Psi Chi Colloquium session in Spring 2001.
Obtain the GRE Information and Registration Bulletins - you can pick them up in Stright or at Advising and Testing In Pratt.
Cost: $115
Hint: Take the General Test in the summer. That way, if you do poorly you may have time to study more and retake it. Also, it is better to send your graduate school applications in early.
4 types of questions:
2 types of math problems:
Hint: If you have not had a math class in a while, taking one may improve your grade in this area.
If you go back and review old textbooks, take a class or two in one of these areas for a refresher, and talk to professors who may be able to help, you can increase your score. Old knowledge you forgot may come back to you when you review.
Note: Calculators are not permitted on the GRE test unlike the SAT. Make sure you can do math by hand!!
From the Information Bulletin:
This section tests your critical thinking and analytical writing skills.
In total there are 7 sections on the GRE General Test
Today, all GRE General Tests are given on the computer.
Hint: Try and whittle down the questions to two or three answers and then guess even if you do not know the actual answer. You play better odds when you cut out one or two obviously incorrect answers.
Hint: Make a list like so on the scrap paper provided to you at the testing site:
This will help to you make eliminations on the test when using the computer and help you to not lose your place.
Cost: $130
The Subject Test is given in November, December, and April at IUP.
The subject test that psychology majors take is the Advanced Psychology Subject Test.
Hint: Wait as long as possible to take the subject test. You want to have enough class experience to do well on all parts of the subject test. For example, there is a large portion of the test that pertains to Physiological Psychology. If you have not had that class or others that are on the test, then you may score much lower.

|The Opportunity
of a Generation
|Legislative Overview
|Enacting Endow
|What You Can Do
Endow Minnesota is a legislative initiative to promote community and economic development throughout Minnesota. It will create assets to help Minnesota communities prosper by providing a tax credit to spark increased giving to community foundation endowments.
The proposed legislation will provide an incentive for Minnesotans of all walks of life and all means to build their communities and sustain the charitable causes that they care about most. Endow Minnesota will provide those who contribute to the permanent endowments of community foundations a tax credit of 25% for any gift of up to $100,000 annually.
The Opportunity of a Generation
According to the Minnesota Generational Transfer of Wealth Study, more than $47.9 billion in wealth will be transferred from one generation to the next in Minnesota over the next 20 years. Keeping a portion of this wealth in Minnesota presents a unique opportunity to grow assets that will build our communities. Learn more about how Endow Minnesota embraces this opportunity.
Legislative Overview
Seventeen members of the Minnesota Legislature joined together to introduce Endow Minnesota bills in 2013. Further consideration of the bills is planned for 2014. Learn about the legislation's purpose and impact, community foundations and endowments, claiming the credit, and administrative plans for Endow Minnesota.
Enacting Endow Minnesota
Now is the time to act on Minnesota's transfer of wealth opportunity. Introducing new tax credits takes careful deliberation. The Minnesota Council on Foundations (MCF) and its community foundation members are working together to enact Endow Minnesota for the betterment of communities across our state. Learn more about their plan and the people who are making it happen.
You Can Act Now!
Legislators cast the votes, but ultimately, engaged Minnesotans are the ones who turn good ideas into laws and effective programs. Find out what you can do to support Endow Minnesota, including speaking in your community, talking to your elected officials and joining our advocacy team. And check out all our resources to realize this opportunity for our state.

Anyone use BioBizz ferts? | Marijuana Growing
TH Seeds Bubble Gum
Marijuana Growing
Indoor Marijuana Growing
Grow FAQ
Hi PS folks,
I just picked up some BioBizz ferts from the local hydro store. I"m wondering if anyone has used these before. I tripled the amount recommended and still ended up with a PPM below 600.
I'm using the Grow and the Alg-Mic
Any help or info would be appreciated.
The 420Gardner
You will want to be careful adding tripple amounts of stuff. How long does the label say it takes to stabilize? I use the flora series myself and when I drop in a teaspoon of each my TDS is what I call perfect at 1200. Do you know of or have you calibrated your TDS meter lately? I do mine twice each grow, at 4.01, 7.01 and 1500 PPM. Sometimes I find it has changed and sometimes its just a little off. Do you have the calculation table for that meter? Sometimes you get a meter that gives you a specific reading then you have to calulate the outcome. Sucks when you have to do it that way. I am usually too stoned to worry about thing like numbers and such. One more thing you can check. Fertilizer has a shelf life. There may be someplace on the bottle that gives you the expire date or you can call the manufaturer or look it up on the net and find it for yourself. You might be using ferts that are much older then you think. Could be your local garden center does not get a lot of call for that product and he has had it on his shelf a while you know?
The TDS meter (HM Digital) didn't come with any instructions for recalibrating, but I haven't noticed any changes when I used the meter in my other nutrient solution. I'm definitely wary of using such high doses, but I'm perplexed by the low readings. I checked the count about an hour ago and it was still right around 600.
Is it possible that there's some difference because the BioBizz products are organic?
So, has anyone used the BioBizz ferts before? I remember seeing this brand when I was in Amsterdam for the Cannabis Cup and I was interested in trying them out. I'm hoping someone out there has tried these before and can offer some input.
Peace & thanks,
the 420Gardener
Well, I will tell you what. Most of thsoe meters come from the factory calibrated but they dont stay that way. All you need to do is get a small bottle of calibrating solution, the one that has the 1500 reading. Put your probe in it and there is a small screw someplace on your meter you will adjust until your meter reads 1500. Same for the PH meter. There is a two solution test kit and recalibrate kit for these. One is 4.01 and the other is 7.01 Starting with the 4, you put your probe in and turn the little screw until it reads 4.0. If you are using a multi meter, that is a digital meter with the PH and TDS on the same meter, there will be two sets of these screws, one for PH and one for TDS. To answer your question, yes, I have used them. What is it that you are using right now, the Bio Grow, Bio Bloom, Root Juice, Alg-A-Mix, Top Max or the Buzz Off? All are good but they also all have different applications so you need to be careful with them. I would go for the adjustment. I think that is about as close to your particular problem as we are going to get. You need to have the ps around 1.5 which is 1500 and the PH when using these ferts MUST be maintained at 6.
I'm using the Gro and Alg Mic.
Do you remember the amounts you used when you were using this brand?
The 420Gardener
I have never used them but i have heard that they work very well. I would give them a shot if i were you. Its always good to experiment with new ferts!
I used them in 1/8th teasooon increments. Since I did not know exactly what it was I was putting on my plants. That bunches labeling leaves a lot to be desired and their web site is not much more informative.
Urgent help with my plants anyone?

The Struggle to Trust
2010-08-10 by Stephen Schuette
Jeremiah is the "get real" prophet, and this small passage certainly bears that out. He identifies the then popular temple-king theology as a "dream." In other words, it's no good to make up your own covenant with God or attempt to push your own deal: we'll worship you and you give us national security. God's covenant is not magic. It requires hard choices in the real world and a continual search for the way. Not that God leaves us without openings. But the opening may be different than might be assumed out of an easy God-n'-me coziness. One wonders if those who assume "God and America" or believe a resettlement of Israel in Palestine will automatically lead to fulfillment (however you may define that) have ever taken Jeremiah seriously? (…even in their supposed biblical seriousness)
And the suggestion of faith as struggle continues through the other readings. Not that the struggle is without redemption, but it involves struggle nevertheless.
Before you go to that beautiful and familiar section in Heb. 12:1ff., linger in this waterfall of remembrance of those who struggled for faith against the odds. And notice, too, that transitional sentence that links their struggle and ours in 11:40: "…that they would not, apart from us, be made perfect." In other words, their struggle is ours and ours is theirs. Their history of struggle for faith is given meaning in the present situation by our faith, a faith that 12:2 suggests is connected with the cross. History and future come into focus in the present moment with us. Not that we're alone, but there's much riding here in this "present time" (Lk 12:56) and a larger meaning that refracts the light of past and future into this present time and place.
I'd be careful of trying to read the Luke passage in a way that emphasizes us-them divisions with us on the "right" side and so there's struggle with those in our families, or otherwise, who are not with us and God. That seems too superficial or even dangerous. Instead I'm going to focus on this division and struggle that runs right through the center of every Christian who is an odd mixture of faithfulness and faithlessness, including me. After all if Jesus himself is under stress (vs. 50) then how can I honestly avoid this in my own faith journey? Jesus is certainly taking the baptism of John seriously, a baptism that will require his very life. It means a struggle within Jesus as all the people and powers who are pressing this forward come together and in that he seeks to live out his calling faithfully.
So the "race" of Hebrews is not a competitive race with other runners but a race of perseverance within oneself to engage all of oneself complete and whole in relationship with God. Runners know about the need to run through the point of resistance (casting aside the weight and sin) before they know the joy – not so much the joy of winning over others which only comes at the end of a race but the pure joy of running in the moment.
My dog is a beautiful runner as she thrusts her long legs both forward and behind giving herself over to a kind of suspended flight through midair. What she does naturally I must work at – to fully trust God.
Watching the Bird Bath
2010-08-10 by Rina Terry
Watching the Bird Bath
From my kitchen window, I can see the small cement birdbath in my side yard. There is nothing fancy about it. I am not a great gardener and the parsonage yard is in desperate need of a landscaper's professional skill.
Yet, it just takes a small pool of water and an inexpensive bird feeder to attract many birds. I have noticed the relationship between the larger and smaller birds. The large birds: grackles, ravens, jays and crows , due to size, use on demand. On occasion though, I notice a smaller bird fluttering to the edge of the bath anyway and when the larger birds make their hostile gestures, the small birds flutter to the trees and wait their turn. They are patient and they always come back.
The dominant birds ultimately tire themselves out and go off and preen on a limb while they dry. Later, I go back to the window and the finches, Eastern Meadowlarks, cardinals, Fox Sparrows and occasional Red-winged blackbirds take their turns.
Finally, the deep, thick hush of evening comes and there is a stillness and silence that resists any evidence of wing-flapping and splashing that went before. The heat of the day gives way to ocean breeze and starry sky and the bird bath, the feeders, are no longer visible.
All of this I can see, identify, interpret—yet what do I know of this present time?
I enter my own sanctuary, my private space—
we breathe by faith and trust there will be a sunrise.Singing In An Empty Sanctuary
No candles to light, no offering
taken. Hymnals and Bibles poised in their racks. The dust murmuring on the altar never makes
a distinct sound. Then an eruption—
something praise-like, a song meant
Original Work
2010-08-09 by Rina Terry
Abandon If horrow is the reality that sustains
our existence, then let the rain come in
torrents until the ship sinks close enough
to shore, even a fool's fool might wade
to solid ground. All roads are flooded
and one must climb the swaying trees
to make one's way. Bending limb to limb
the thought of building a raft comes
dripping into mind. Someone is winding
the clock—either grandmother or grandfather,
and someone else shrieks from a mountain
top then crawls or limps into a valley ablaze
with wild purple, yellow, red, cornflower
blue. We all are where we are. Wondering
how this could have happened without
noticing the fine lines and loss of longing.

I Want To Sing You A Tough-Love Song...
2010-08-09 by Rina Terry
Many years ago, Anne Murray recorded I Want To Sing You A Love Song, written by Kenny Loggins and D.L. George. As I read the first few words of the Isaiah text for this week, I wondered how many other Baby Boomer pastors began singing that tune. Well, none of us sang it for very long as we engaged the prophet's indictment. It is our task, as pastors, to share God's love with our parishioners and to magnify the image of God as love so they might be filled with the power of that holy love for the world. This week, it calls for tough love, indeed. The Lucan text simply reinforces that tough love approach. Yet, to be honest, many times it is buildings and traditions and rituals which infatuate us far more than God's purposeful call born of divine love. Do we dare, in a day when shrinking mainline churches have made church-growth training the rallying cry of denominational leaders, to proclaim a prophetic word? Are we willing to deal with the consequences of prophetic preaching in middle-class social club congregations? As with me, you may be inspired by persons whose prophetic voices do speak up and out. Yet, they largely are not parish pastors and not in positions that can be damaged by angry or hostile congregational committees or tunnel-visioned M&M (money and members) leaders. At a time when the unemployment rate is nearly 10%, why would a congregation that is having difficulty meeting its annual budget engage in a major stained glass restoration project rather than shine the light of God's love on those in need? In a political climate that has unmasked, and unsheeted, the latent racism in our country, how can congregations called Christian refuse to welcome the stranger? When our planet is heaving, and hemorrhaging, and fracturing, why are churches such poor stewards when it comes to the greening of our buildings and habits? As we meditate, pray and exegete this week, may we hear God's cry for justice and dare claiming the prophet's voice.
Where your treasure is...
2010-08-05 by Adam Grosch
The order of clause in verse 34 is very important. The common phrase I have heard is "where your heart is, there your treasure will be." I don't know if that line comes from this verse - but if it does, it totally misrepresents the meaning behind this passage. The line is "Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."
The first version suggests that whatever our heart longs for and whatever we are focused on - THAT is our treasure. In the second version - the treasure is constant, it never changes. Our heart follows us to our treasure - and we are told that are true treasure is our "unfailing treasure in heaven."
Well, what if our heart isn't there? That is why we are told to do all of the things that are previous to this line - we are not meant to worry and consume ourselves with the things of this world - we are even to sell our possessions, and give alms, making a purse for ourselves that does not wear out.
In this way, even if our heart is not yet with the kingdom, we should still be investing our lives knowing that this is our true treasure. When we invest our lives into the kingdom then our heart will be there...eventually. What a pastoral word for the many new comers in our congregation who are not yet sure what their hearts believe about God, let alone Jesus Christ. Invest in the kingdom, invest where our treasure is and you will soon find your heart there as well.

The Joy Luck Club
by Amy Tan
The Joy Luck Club Part 3, Chapter 2 Summary
- Waverly takes her mother out to lunch. Her mother complains the entire time: Waverly's haircut is ugly, the restaurant chopsticks are greasy, the soup isn't hot enough, etc.
- Waverly gives up on the idea of telling her mother an important bit of news: that she plans on marrying Rich Schields.
- Waverly's mom has never met Rich, and every time Waverly tries to talk to her mother about him, her mother changes the subject.
- After lunch, Waverly takes her mom to her apartment, where Waverly lives with her daughter, Shoshana. It's clear that Rich has moved in. She wants her mom to realize the relationship is serious.
- Waverly shows her mom a mink coat that Rich bought her for Christmas – a really extravagant gift that Waverly seems really proud of.
- Her mother points out the coat's flaws.
- Waverly is hurt, but at the same time she sees the truth in her mother's comments.
- Waverly's mom jabs her again. Waverly asks if her mom is going to say anything about the apartment (i.e., Rich living there), and her mom just comments on the apartment being a mess.
- We flash back to the first time Waverly was seriously hurt by her mother.
- Waverly is ten-years-old and sick of her mom boasting about her chess skills and taking all the credit for Waverly's clever chess strategies.
- In a crowd of people, Waverly yells at her mom to stop showing off and basically tells her that she knows nothing about chess.
- Waverly's mom is mad and gives her daughter the silent treatment for the next few days.
- Waverly decides not to respond with anger; she ignores her mom right back and quits playing chess for a few days in order to spite her mother. Basically, Waverly's trying to make her mom so mad that she has to talk to her.
- Waverly decides to skip a tournament, but even this elicits no response from her mother.
- After a week, she announces that she's ready to begin playing again, hoping she'll get a positive reaction out of her mom. But her mother tells her that it's not so easy, just because Waverly is smart and can pick things up quickly doesn't mean she should be so fickle.
- Waverly contracts chicken pox, and her mother looks after her, ending their silent battle.
- Waverly is convinced that her mother is back to her usual self, but when it comes to Waverly's chess playing, her mother no longer seems to care. She longer polishes her daughter's trophies, cuts out newspaper clips about Waverly, or hovers over Waverly as she practices.
- Waverly loses her next tournament, saying that she felt as though she had lost a magic armor, leaving her completely vulnerable to her opponents. Waverly's mom even seems to smile a bit when she loses the game.
- The game stops coming so easily to Waverly. She has to fight hard to win, and the losses are hard on her.
- After a spell of time, Waverly stops playing altogether.
- We return from the flashback to the present.
- Waverly is on the phone with her friend, Marlene, explaining the incident with her mom and the mink coat.
- Marlene wants to know why Waverly gets so hurt by her mom, why doesn't she just tell her mom to shut up and deal with the fact that she's with Rich?
- Waverly describes her mother as having all these little sneaky attacks. And, you just can't tell Chinese moms to shut up.
- Waverly's afraid that amidst all her mother's criticisms, some truth will stick and alter all of her perceptions of Rich, the man she currently adores.
- Waverly says that's what happened with her first husband, Marvin Chen.
- Marvin was like Mary Poppins, practically perfect in every way. He got a full scholarship to Stanford, played tennis, actually had chest hair, was funny, and was creative with sex.
- However, all of Waverly's mother's criticisms of Marvin rang true, and he turned out to be kind of a jerk with an eye for other ladies. Waverly's not sure if her mom actually did poison her marriage, but she ended up feeling mere apathy towards Marvin.
- Waverly found out she was pregnant just as her marriage turned sour. She considered aborting the baby, but ended up keeping her. Waverly's daughter, Shoshana, is now four-years-old, and Waverly adores her.
- Waverly compares Rich's love for her with her own love for Shoshana– unequivocal and without needing anything in return.
- Rich is super sweet, really romantic, and great in bed, but Waverly is still worried about how her mom will criticize him.
- Finally, Waverly engineers a way for Rich to meet her mother.
- Waverly and Rich eat dinner at Auntie Suyuan and Uncle Canning's house. In her thank-you card, Waverly writes that Rich thought it was the best Chinese food he had ever eaten.
- Shortly after, a dinner invitation comes from Waverly's mother. This was exactly what Waverly predicted because her mom is so competitive with Suyuan cooking skill.
- Waverly hangs out in the kitchen while her mother prepares the meal. Already her mom's pointing out how she's a better cook that Suyuan.
- Waverly builds up the courage to ask for her mom's first impression of Rich. Waverly's really nervous because Rich is an average-looking, kind of short, red-headed guy with freckles.
- Her mom says he has a lot of spots on his face and doesn't buy it when Waverly insists that freckles are good luck.
- By Waverly's standards, the dinner goes terribly. Let's call it White Boy in Chinese House.
- Rich brings a fancy French wine. Waverly's parents don't even own wine glasses.
- Rich then drinks two glasses when everyone else has three sips.
- Rich insists on using chopsticks, then drops almost everything he tries to eat in his lap, making Shoshana laugh hysterically.
- Rich helps himself to big portions – before anyone else gets a chance.
- Rich thinks he's being polite by refusing to eat seconds, even though Waverly's father sets the right example by taking four helpings, insisting the food is so delicious he can't resist.
- And the coup de grâce is when Waverly's mother criticizes the main dish (cue for everyone to pronounce it the best food they've ever tasted!), and Rich says it just needs a little soy sauce, and proceeds to drench his food.
- When Rich says goodnight, he uses butchered versions of her parents' first names: Linda and Tim (instead of Lindo and Tin).
- At the end of this debacle, Rich looks pathetic in Waverly's eyes. He doesn't even have any sense of how badly the whole dinner went.
- The next morning when Waverly wakes up mad and decides to go give her mother a piece of her mind.
- When she arrives at her parents' house, Waverly finds her mother sleeping on the sofa, and for a terrible moment is afraid she's died.
- As she wakes her mom up, Waverly instantly starts crying. She then tells her mother that she's marrying Rich.
- To her surprise, her mom says, that's old news. Just because Waverly didn't tell her doesn't mean she didn't know.
- Waverly says she knows her mom hates Rich.
- Her mom is becomes kind of angry-sad, realizing her daughter thinks "I am this bad." Really she had just said things about his freckles and the mink coat because they were true, not because she wanted to be mean.
- Waverly just wants to go home because she says she doesn't know what she's feeling, what's "inside of me right now."
- Her mom lets her know what's inside of her: half is from father – the Jongs – and half is from her mother – the Suns. The people from the Sun clan are "smart people, very strong, tricky, and famous for winning wars."
- Waverly feels comforted by having a semblance of a normal conversation with her mother.
- Finally, instead of a crabby old woman hell-bent on ruining her daughter's life, Waverly sees her mother as an old woman who simply cares about her daughter.
- The chapter ends with the definite possibility that Rich, Waverly, and Waverly's mother will all visit China after the wedding. Waverly's mom says she doesn't want to go with them, but really she's dying for them to invite her. That's pretty cute.

Hi everyone. I'm new to this board, but so glad I found it! Does anybody have experience with ILS? My SPD DS gets weekly OT but we are quickly discovering that it's not helping his auditory processing issues very well. His therapist even said that the auditory component is his worst and if we get that fixed, he might even be done with therapy.Ā
I understand that it's not covered by our insurance. Our clinic doesn't even offer it, but if I get it, they will work with him on it. I hear it costs something like $1800. It's a lot of money, but if there's a chance it will help, then I suppose it's worth the money. I would be on cloud 9 if we fixed his auditory issues. It's what causes behavior issues at home and school and interferes with his listening/focusing/concentrating skills.Ā
So does anybody have experience with ILS? Did it help? Did you shell out the money or did you find some other way to use it?

Rosario Dawson is best known for her sexy role as the machine-gun wielding dominatrix Gail in Frank Miller's graphic novel adaptation "Sin City". So it's only fitting that for her next project, the half-Puerto Rican, half-Cuban actress will find herself starring in another graphic novel adaptation. But this time, it's based on a graphic novel of her own.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the "Zookeeper" actress is teaming up with Gale Anne Hurd (an executive producer for AMC's Golden Globe-nominated series, "The Walking Dead") to bring her own graphic novel, "O.C.T.: Occult Crimes Taskforce" to the small screen.
The project, which is being developed by the A&E network with Dawson and Hurd as co-executive producers, will follow a group of investigators who patrol a district of New York populated by practitioners of black magic. Like the graphic novel, co-created by Dawson, David Atchison and Tony Shasteen, "O.C.T.," will center on the character of Sophia Ortiz, a new member of the bureau who uses magic, spells, ghosts, the undead and the unnatural. Although the project is still in the early stages of development, Dawson is being considered for the role of Sophia.
According to DigitalSpy.com, the rights to "Occult Crimes Taskforce" were previously acquired by Dimension Films in September 2006, but a proposed movie adaptation never materialized.
SLIDESHOW: Check Out These Latino Philanthropists
Since starting his solo career in 2000, Juanes has been active in humanitarian causes in his native Colombia. He founded the organization, Fundacion Mi Sangre, which works with underprivileged Colombian children through the Educacion Para La Paz (Education For Peace Program). But he has said his most passionate cause is his work with victims of anti-personnel mines. By 2010, Juanes' foundation had helped more than 1,500 victims of anti-personnel mines. In addition, more than 46,000 children received assistance from the Education For Peace Program. This picture was taken at Comuna 13 a shantytown in Medellin, Colombia, during a concert for International Peace Day in September 2010.
As Gabrielle Solis in ABC's Desperate Housewives, Eva Longoria plays a shallow, money-driven housewife with little time for anyone but herself and her friends on Wisteria Lane. But that portrayal is far removed from the real-life Longoria, the ALMA award producer who has dedicated a big part of her time to charitable causes. A recent project, "Padres Contra El Cancer" ("Parents Against Cancer"), is a non-profit dedicated to improving the quality of life of Latino children with cancer and their families. Longoria was awarded the "Latina Visionary and Community Empowerment Award" for her contributions at the 21st National Hispanic Women's Conference, the Hispanic Women's Corporation. In 2011, Longoria co-produced The Harvest / La Cosecha, a documentary which shines a light on the terrible conditions facing migrant worker children and hopes to encourage passage of The Children's Act for Responsible Employment (CARE Act). This picture was taken at the Padres Contra El Cancer annual gala at The Hollywood Palladium in 2010.
Rosario Dawson is co-founder of Voto Latino, a dynamic and growing non-partisan organization with civic engagement campaigns that have reached 55 million Latino households nationwide. Voto Latino is dedicated to bringing new and diverse voices into the political process by engaging youth, media, technology and celebrities to promote positive change. But Dawson's philanthropic work extends beyond Latinos. The actress has taken part in"Stay Close," a campaign to encourage parents, families, and friends to remain close to lesbians, gays and bisexual people in their lives. Dawson also did a reading at the 2011 "Any One of Us: Words From Prison" event, where performers used words and song to highlight the connection between violence against women and incarceration. The picture above was taken during Dawson's runway walk at Fashion For Relief on May 2011. All proceeds went to victims of the earthquake that struck Japan on March 2011.

Lopez was one of the first celebrities to lend a hand after a massive earthquake struck Haiti in 2010. He threw a benefit concert "Help Haiti With George Lopez" with various musicians and comedians. All the proceeds from the event went to the earthquake victims. Lopez also founded The Lopez Foundation, which seeks to "create positive change" for underprivileged children and families facing health and educational challenges. In addition, Lopez has been a spokesperson for the National Kidney Foundation since his wife donated a kidney after Lopez required a transplant in 2005. This picture was taken at the 2011 ALMA award ceremony hosted by Lopez.
Known mainly for dancing and musical talent, the Colombian singer Shakira was recently honored as 2011 Person Of The Year by the Latin Recording Academy.

The foundation opened five schools in different regions of the country, serving more than 4,000 children with educational, nutritional and psychological support. Shakira also has worked as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador. In this picture, she sits with a woman to learn how women process rice grains in Modhu Shudanpur village of the Rajshahi district in Bangladesh. As a UNICEF ambassador, Shakira toured coastal villages of the South Asian nation that were affected by the November 2007 cyclone.
The Spanish pop music singer is an impassioned advocate of environmental causes. He was part of the 2007 Live Earth concert to raise awareness about environmental issues. Iglesias has said that he participated in Live Earth after watching "the documentary [An Inconvenient Truth] and wanted to get involved, so I had my manager make some calls". Iglesias has also supported Habitat For Humanity, Help for Heroes and the Muscular Dystrophy Association. This picture was taken at the Latin GRAMMY Awards at the Mandalay Bay Events Center on Nov. 11.

In 2010, JLo helped raise $6.7 million for AIDS Research at a gala she co-hosted in France during the Cannes Film Festival. This picture was taken at the "Noche de Ninos Gala" benefiting Childrens Hospital of Los Angeles.

The charity allows specialists in LA hospitals to treat children around the world using telecommunication technology.

Frontman Rene Perez directed the documentary "Invisible Slaves" ("Esclavo Invisibles") which follows the story of four victims of human trafficking and exploitation.

Puerto Rican salsa superstar Marc Anthony co-founded The Maestro Cares Foundation with Colombian-born entrepreneur Henry Cárdenas in January 2012. The non-profit foundation aims to help organizations in Latin America that work with disadvantaged children. In August 2012, the singer-songwriter and his foundation, Maestro Cares, hosted a fundraiser at Chicago's Sofitel Water Tower that raised over $100,000 to complete a residence hall and learning facility for over 200 children at Orfanato Niños de Cristo (Children of Christ Orphanage) in the Dominican Republic, according to a communiqué by the foundation.
