Typical holy than thou attitude thinking you have the right away when the lane ends….NOT! That's why the interstate always gets backed up during construction because people want to get ahead of everybody else. I guess the problem of not knowing how to merge is a world wide problem.
You do realize that when merging onto a highway it's the person who's merging who has to yield.

Being in a Union and working for a private company, I'm totally disgusted with the way the various unions have represented themselves. Rather than waiting until the next gubernatorial election and attempting to over turn Walkers bills he put forth, they spent millions of taxpayers money, millions of union members money and put a sour taste in every bodies mouth. I expect more from the people who teach my kids. This will not be forgotten any time soon or ever in my lifetime. Teachers involved with propagandizing and manipulating our children should be brought up on child abuse. I think it's time they thought about changing occupations.
So, if Walkers gets defeated… the union masters will be happy as well as the puppets teaching our kids.So to them that's all that really matters.

Madison is really showing it's true colors now. I think something major is going to happen here when the rulers in charge say so. You have the Mayor, Chief of Police, police officers and Sheriff and his deputies doing things that goes against everything their suppose to uphold. The tax payers of Wisconsin are being held hostage by these self ingratiating Madison clowns, so they can look good to their progressive wine drinking puppet masters.

Glad he gave his name so I can verify with any up coming problems, now that the left has started to harassed private businesses that support Gov. Walker.

Here's a bunch of bug screenshots that I've saved while working on BH2.
Stuff like this happens when I mess up some conditions, and the game creates bullets or foes when it's not supposed to. Things get out of hand and usually some cool visuals result.
Weelllppp....they're freaking.....AWESOME
this should be an extra difficulty level. I'd love to see the top right screenshot in the game. after all, i've done worse.
Trippy *_*
Bugs, more like a higher difficulty level.
... glad these are bugs... Trying to dodge those...
top right looks like an angel is lazering away... really cool
My first impression was... HARDCORE MODE
reminds me of an lsd trip
But they look so pretty
Bugs, nooo! Quick, squish 'em with your mighty lines of code!
... Godcat dammit, it looks awesome... painful, and rage inducing, but awesome... D=
The top right one...
looks like an owl!
looks like an owl!
The bottom right one reminds me of the Triforce from the Legend of Zelda series.
Top right looks cool!
If you put those into separate pics they would make some of the most epic backgrounds
that upper-right one should be a legit one tho xD
The upper right looks really neat.
........ Would that even be survivable if it were legit?! Hmm. Maybe create a bonus mode that does this kind of stuff for the hardcore players? Just a suggestion.
It's super laggy.
Oh great. The first one was already bad for me in that department. Yeesh. Oh well what do I expect right?
this is so amazing!

US officials flunk test of American history, economics, civics

You can take the 33-question quiz here. I couriously tried the test and scored a 60.61% as a non-US citizen. Doesn't this qualify me […]

There's a story on Yahoo! about Terrell Owens and his exit from the Cowboys. It quotes Stephen Jones, son of owner Jerry and the guy who runs a lot of what goes on in Dallas these days. It seems to me, Jones hits it just right -- because it sounds so much like the reality the Eagles faced back when T.O. was here.
The operating shorthand is that Owens is a pain in the ass, such an organizational irritant that it isn't possible for a team to survive his nonsense over the long term. There is truth to that, no doubt. There is absolutely truth to that. But when you really look back on it, the issue for the organization is different, deeper, more nuanced. In Dallas, as in Philadelphia, the real issue was the way that Owens divided the locker room and prevented the quarterback from leading. The problem was not that he tore down the organization. Instead, it was that so many of the players were attracted to him.
Listen to Stephen Jones:
"It's hard to take over leadership when you've got a strong personality like Terrell," Jones said. "If you look back at our old teams [from the 1990s], a lot of people would say maybe Michael [Irvin] was the leader. Then you might say, 'He was a receiver. What about Troy [Aikman]? He was the quarterback. Wasn't he the leader?' And the answer is, yeah, Troy was a leader. But if Michael wasn't supportive of him, Troy would've had problems.

Workforce development program Project QUEST won an award of $6 Million from the US Department of Labor to train 475 adults in the San Antonio area for living wage IT careers. Project Quest's "Homegrown IT" program is backed by local employers including Rackspace, Zachry Holdings and WP Engine. Quest will focus on training long-term unemployed residents of Bexar and neighboring counties.
Said Executive Director Sr. Pearl Ceasar, "We are ready to implement it."

Carolyn Watson, Chase Bank VP of Corporate Responsibility, announced the award of $100K to Capital IDEA-Houston at a meeting of the Houston Community College Board of Trustees. Capital IDEA-Houston, established by leaders of TMO as a labor market intermediary, pulls working students out of poverty wage jobs and into living wage careers starting at upwards of $30,000 per year plus benefits. TMO (The Metropolitan Organization) built the political will to establish the training program to bridge the wage gap between industry needs and the skills base of the city.
"The Capital IDEA / Houston Community College partnership works!" declared Watson. "It gives workers aspiring to a better future the training and practical supports they need to persist to graduation…."
Thu Jun 19, 2014
TMO leaders celebrated the leveraging of one million dollars for Capital IDEA-Houston this month. The first half million was awarded by the Texas Innovative Accelerated Career Education (ACE) program that the Texas IAF created and passed in 2013. State Representative John Zerwas (R-Richmond) highly praised the program, declaring he "could not find a better use of $500K than to invest in Capital IDEA-Houston." State Representative Sylvestor Turner (D-Houston) chimed in adding "we should continue to invest ...in these projects."
The second half was leveraged at the local level, with a quarter million coming from locally controlled CDBG funds and another quarter million appearing as a line-item in the City of Houston budget.
Said Bishop James W.E. Dixon II, pastor of The Community of Faith Church, "Poverty is painful. Investing in our city's human capital through Capital Idea will impact individuals, families and children, for generations to come."

Austin Interfaith leveraged a historic living wage concession from AISD school board members in a close-to-midnight vote approving the use of federal Davis-Bacon wage standards for workers employed on school construction projects. After months of deliberation and negotiation, labor caucus leaders of Austin Interfaith testified at AISD board proceedings, backed by a large crowd of supporters.
Catholic Bishop Joe Vasquez's letter exhorting the Board to support Davis-Bacon wages was followed by impassioned testimony from leaders representing LiUNA, Education Austin, IBEW, Painters Local 1779, Pipefitters, Workers Defense Projects, Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church and the Equal Justice Center. Plans are in the works for the school district to soon establish an accompanying living wage floor to raise the wages of the lowest paid workers. [Photo Credit: Austin American Statesman]

Texas State Senator Jose Rodriguez called Project ARRIBA, and other Texas IAF labor market intermediaries, "the model workforce capacity job-training economic development program that we have in the state of Texas." With that said, leaders celebrated the award of $500,000 to ARRIBA to be used train an additional 300 students for a degree in a high demand occupation.
A 2010 report prepared by the Institute for Policy and Economic Development at the University of Texas at El Paso, estimates that Project ARRIBA's work provides a $26 return for every dollar invested. Graduates of the labor market intermediary "contribute half a billion dollars to the El Paso economy," ARRIBA Executive Director Roman Ortiz said.
The news came the same week ARRIBA celebrated its 1,000 graduate.

Confronted with 40,000 unemployed & underemployed, while good manufacturing jobs remained unfilled and training facilities underutilized, DuPage United leaders worked together to form a novel plan. Targeting 9,000 replacement skilled-jobs set to become available over the next ten years, DuPage established Career Connect Metro West (CCMW) to connect people to training programs for quality living-wage jobs in western Cook, DuPage and the Fox River towns of Kane and Kendall Counties. Partnering with the Jan Addams Resource Corp. (JARC) and the Alliance for Illinois Manufacturing (AIM), CCMW will recruit cohorts of students for training with JARC and then work to connect them to manufacturers needing skilled workers.
This workforce development strategy was developed out of the initiative of leaders who emabrked on 30 months of research, community-wide listening sessions, relationship building and public action.

Capital IDEA celebrated its 15th anniversary and 1,000th graduate at the Norris Conference Center in Austin. Elizabeth Soltero, the 1,000th graduate entertained the crowd with her story of triumph — learning English then learning her third language, Technical English, before landing a job in computer security. Elected city and county officials were in attendance, and other graduates honored — including a single father who not only worked his way through college, but volunteered at his son's pre-school.

In the latest battle of a longstanding fight for living wages in Central Texas, 200 supporters of construction workers, including Austin Interfaith leaders, Catholic Bishop Joe Vasquez of the Austin Diocese and Workers Defense Project, rallied on the steps of City Hall demanding that workers receive the pay promised to them by developers of White Lodging, in exchange for $3.8 million in fee waivers granted by the City.
In the wee hours of the night, City Council voted unanimously to stand by its revocation of economic incentives in light of the developers' refusal to pay the promised prevailing wages.

Republican Governor Terry Branstad of Iowa signed into law a bill that will appropriate $100,000 per year for Project IOWA for the next two years. Project IOWA is a labor market intermediary that prepares adults for dignified participation in the labor market by training for jobs that already exist, and thus also helping employers find motivated and skilled workers. Project IOWA was established with the support of AMOS to better address the jobs -skills mismatch in the state.

Before the Delta Regional Authority would award workforce development project NOVA $208 thousand to expand training opportunities further into the Delta region, the proposal had to win the approval of Republican Congressman Rodney Alexander and Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal. Northern Louisiana Interfaith successfully urged both officials to sign off, allowing NOVA to receive the award and pull more people out of working poverty in the Delta region.
Not only does NOVA train for good-paying jobs, NOVA works to transform bad jobs into better ones. When approached by a call center seeking to train workers for high turnover jobs paying $8 / hour, NOVA challenged the employer to invest in worker development for higher paying work. The call center responded and now NOVA trainees start at $10 / hour and move to $12.50 / hour within three months, including benefits; call center attrition has dropped. NOVA is becoming a new kind of hiring hall, offering training for dignified work that pays fair wages and offers benefits.

In Houston, The Metropolitan Organization united key clergy in support of janitors as they fought to protect previous wage increases and benefits; prior to the strike, workers earned $8.35 /hour or $8,684 annually. Cardinal DiNardo, Bishop Rinehart and TMO clergy held a press conference exhorting contractors to respect union contracts and to give Houston janitors a raise. The janitors succeeded in maintaining the contract AND securing a wage increase over four years.

Many middle and high -skill jobs in Iowa will be increasingly difficult to fill because of demographic changes, structural change in the economy and divergent skill distribution in Iowa. To address this impending shortage, A Mid-Iowa Organizing Strategy (AMOS) established Project IOWA to train participants in advanced manufacturing and healthcare. Thirty six workforce development trainees graduated in 2012 with 86% now established in career-track jobs with full-benefits and earning as much as $20 per hour.

In San Antonio, COPS/Metro Alliance leaders applauded the decision of Ramen noodle producer Maruchan to withdraw its application for tax incentives. Leaders fought the proposal because the company was asking for $8 Million in taxpayer money to subsidize minimum wage jobs, undermining the wage standard set by COPS/Metro with the City of San Antonio and Bexar County. When Maruchan changed its mind, leaders welcomed the company to town. [Photo of Fr. Steven Gamez by KENS5]

"We really see systemic challenges in Baltimore, and someone just saw the ability to address it," said Andrew Foster Connors, senior pastor at Brown Memorial Park Avenue Presbyterian Church. "It's less than the number of jobs we wanted, but it's a great start."
The pastor is also co-chair of the interfaith community organization Baltimoreans United in Leadership Development, or BUILD, which had rallied for the jobs and brought supporters to meetings of the state Health Services Cost Review Commission, which sets hospital rates and approved the jobs plan Wednesday.

In Conservative Town, Faith-Based Group Tackles Minimum Wages
National Public Radio
Monday, November 9, 2015
In Texas, one of the most conservative right-to-work states in the country, a church-based organization has begun to make headway in enacting a "living wage" for San Antonio city employees.
In addition to having no state-mandated minimum wage for the private sector, the Legislature has made it illegal for any Texas city or local jurisdiction to pass its own minimum wage.
But after a year of intense organizing and lobbying, the Communities Organized for Public Service and the Metro Alliance (known as COPS/Metro) in September celebrated San Antonio's City Council vote that mandated a $13-an-hour minimum wage for all city employees.

At a press conference held the day after the passage of the new City budget, Austin Interfaithleaders celebrated a historic living wage win and other 'budget priorities' that were included. Austin Interfaith leaders thanked the Mayor and specific council members for acting as "budget champions."
As a result, the City of Austin will now pay their workers an increased living wage of $13.03 per hour (up from $11.39) and for the first time will include temporary AND contracted workers in that wage standard. Workers employed for at least 12 months will additionally qualify for healthcare benefits. Employees of private corporations receiving public subsidies will also benefit from the wage increase...

Says Business Columnist: Public Sector 'Living Wage' Proper
San Antonio Express-News
Monday, August 24, 2015
According to business columnist Michael Taylor of San Antonio Express-News:
"public employers have a greater obligation to address the moral issue of 'a living wage' than do private employers. Unlike private companies, public entities (such as governments) explicitly purport to represent the "public good" in everything they do. The public good should reasonably include paying workers so they can live above the federal poverty level. Nobody really asked my opinion, but these wage hikes seem not only reasonable, but providing a "living wage" for public-sector employees seems like an essential step."

Luckless at Texas Capitol, Wage Advocates Go Local
Texas Tribune
Thursday, August 20, 2015
"In Austin, a minimum wage hike to $13.03 an hour for full-time employees will be up for consideration in September as part of the city's proposed budget. San Antonio leaders will consider a minimum wage of $13 an hour next month. Bexar County is also poised to increase its minimum wage to $13 an hour, while El Paso County could vote next month to boost pay for its lowest-paid employees to $10 an hour. Minimum wages in those localities currently range from $9.45 to $11.66 an hour.
Local organizers affiliated with the Industrial Areas Foundation are hopeful all four proposals will be approved, saying they've received assurances from city and county officials. But for these advocates, the wins could mean sending a message to state lawmakers."

Gloria Roque earns a living wage as a teacher, but since she works at an inner city school, she knows many parents who don't.
That's why Roque was among those who rallied at city hall Wednesday morning in support of Mayor Gregor Robertson's motion for the City of Vancouver to become a certified living wage employer. The motion passed unanimously.
Metro Vancouver Alliance and Living Wage for Families staged the rally, which was timed to precede council's discussion on the motion.

COPS / Metro Fights Battle to Raise Wages in San Antonio
San Antonio Current
Wednesday, July 1, 2015
Communities Organized for Public Service and the Metro Alliance, or COPS/Metro, one of the leading wage advocacy groups in San Antonio, started its living wage campaign about a year ago. The goal is to raise hourly wages for public workers to at least $14.91 — the average amount needed for a family four to stay off government assistance such as food stamps.
Father Mike DeGerolami, pastor of St. Timothy Catholic Church and a member of COPS/Metro, said the group maintains that "if you're working full time, especially for a public entity ... you shouldn't have to seek public assistance."

The speakers offered words of eloquence and encouragement. Moments later came handshakes, hugs and tears as students crossed the stage. But this was not a typical graduation ceremony. There were no diplomas, no gowns and no hats tossed into the air.
Instead, this ceremony celebrated completion, not from a high school or university, but from job-training programs that varied from associate degrees in nursing to technology certifications. For Erica Espinoza, who went from being a cashier at Bill Miller's Bar-B-Q to a registered nurse, it opened up a new path, one that leads away from a life of unpaid utility bills, late rent checks, couch surfing and at times, hunger.
"When I crossed the stage, I was really happy. I was smiling; I was shaking every hand," Espinoza said. "I couldn't believe I had gotten through everything. It was just pure joy."
Espinoza was one of 200 students being honored at the graduate recognition ceremony for Project Quest, a labor market intermediary that partners with San Antonio community colleges and local companies offering job-training programs. Its mission: to lead participants like Espinoza out of low-paying jobs and into new, more lucrative careers.
On stage that May evening were Executive Director Pearl Ceasar, a Sister of Divine Providence, and Holy Spirit Sr. Gabriella Lohan, a board member who helped create and implement Project Quest in 1992.

The tone at most of San Antonio's big City Council budget goal-setting sessions historically may have been positive, but that tone shifted notably at a most recent session.
COPS / Metro leader Robert Cruz, pointedly asked the city's budget director what the city intends to do with the $24 million in revenue it received in excess of forecasts when the 2015 budget was adopted last year.

Genome-wide analysis of primate and rodent protein-coding and associated non-coding nucleotide sequences
Beyond the Genome 2012
Beyond the Genome 2012
Several mammalian species have been characterized by means of genome-wide analysis of the protein-coding sequences, but this has not been done in conjunction with the associated non-coding sequences, including regulatory regions.
Materials and methods
We obtained gene data (coding sequences, 5' and 3' UTRs, intron sequences, and 5,000 bases of the 5' and 3' flanking regions) from Ensembl [
There was a total of 16,511 error-free sets of orthologs containing human genes, of which 7,244 were orthologous among all four species. A very small number (23, approximately 0.32%) of these four-way orthologs were determined to be undergoing adaptive evolution in the primate lineage. A majority of them (approximately 71%) were found to be evolving neutrally, with the rest (approximately 29 %) were determined to be under purifying selection. All of the 23 genes under positive selection in the primate lineage are under strong purifying selection when compared with the orthologs of both of the rodent species. On average, these genes show a lower G+C content (compared with the A+T content) in all four species, but especially in the primates. In contrast, the genes under negative or neutral selection show a high G+C content. Interestingly, while 327 genes were found to be evolving with a heterogeneous nucleotide substitution pattern between human and chimpanzee, only two of them are under positive selection, while 140 are under purifying selection, and 185 are evolving neutrally. Furthermore, as many as 21 genes are under positive selection, even though they are evolving with a homogeneous substitution pattern. We discuss these results and others, and compare them with those from the non-coding regions.
Our work compares the evolution of coding sequences across four mammalian genomes (two primate and two rodent), and adds perspective to the results by means of comparisons with the associated non-coding sequences.

Wembley nearing sellout for Challenge Cup Final
The Rugby Football League (RFL) has announced that over 70,000 tickets have sold for this weekend's Challenge Cup final at Wembley Stadium between Castleford Tigers and Leeds Rhinos.
Seats in the lower tiers at the 90,000 capacity Wembley are almost sold out, with RFL marketing director Mark Foster hailing the demand for tickets and urging supporters without one to act fast.
He said: "The demand to see this event has been so high that we have had to employ extra ticketing staff, just to cope with demand.
"The story has been similar at Leeds and Castleford, who have seen queues of fans lining up for tickets to Wembley, however both clubs do still have tickets remaining at the moment.
"Tickets in the lower tier of the stadium are also very nearly sold out, with less than 500 remaining, so we would urge fans to purchase their tickets now to avoid disappointment."

AbstractExecutive Summary This study was commissioned by the Northeast Region of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) in support of the Comprehensive Conservation Planning at Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge (Prime Hook NWR or Refuge). The National Wildlife Refuge Improvement Act of 1997 (Public Law 105-57, USC668dd) mandates a Comprehensive Conservation Plan (CCP) for every refuge in the system. A refuge CCP outlines goals, objectives, and management strategies for all refuge programs over the next 15 years, while providing opportunities for compatible, wildlife-dependent public uses. The plan evaluates refuge wildlife, habitat, land protection, and visitor service priorities during the planning process.

LAHORE: The Lahore Chamber of Commerce and Industry has urged the government to complete energy projects including water & hydropower, on war footing as energy shortage was not only hampering the industrial production but was also a serious threat for economic growth.
In a statement issued here on Saturday, the LCCI Acting President Mian Tariq Misbah said that energy was engine of the growth and its sufficient availability was must to achieve the required GDP growth rate and other economic targets set for the Financial Year 2014-15.
Mian Tariq Misbah said that business community hails the government's initiatives for power sector announced in the Federal Budget 2014-15 for power sector but desired results could be achieved only if all energy projects completed in shortest possible time.
He said that early completion of hydropower projects would not only ensure cheap and sufficient electricity but would also diminish water shortage that was also a biggest challenge for agro-based economy.
He said that horrid power cuts were impeding the export-oriented industrial production and if situation remains, dream of enhancing the exports would not come true.
He said that energy shortage would also spoil the foreign investment.
The LCCI Acting President said that the consumers of the efficient distribution companies with lowest line losses and the highest recovery ratio should be treated fairly. .
He said in the developed countries private sector is facilitated to the maximum but in Pakistan circumstances were quite the other way round.
Mian Tariq Misbah said that LCCI has repeatedly warned the government of massive lay-offs and industrial closures if it fails to immediately stop power outages.
The LCCI Acting President said that the government should understand that economic well-being was a must for democracy. Unemployment, price-hike, industrial closure always gives birth to lawlessness and anarchy. Therefore, the government should understand the ground realities and reset its priorities regarding provision of electricity to the industry.
He said that the industry needs continuous supply of electricity to keep the units operational and to complete the export orders well within the given timeframe but only because of the shortage of electricity the exports are not up to the mark.
Mian Tariq Misbah also urged the government to avoid undue increases in gas and electricity tariff in any shape, as it would adversely affect competitiveness of Pakistan merchandise in the international market.
He said that how the industry would remain competitive at such a high price of gas and electricity which was one of the basic industrial raw materials.
The LCCI Acting President said that big hydel projects would not only bring down the electricity prices but would also reduce dependence on conventional source of power generation.

For Monday night into Tuesday morning, what storms that developed over the afternoon will fade away throughout the evening and overnight hours. Few lingering storm cells may be left over Tuesday morning for the southeast but those look to move out to the east during the afternoon hours. Overnight lows ranging from upper 50s to low 60s.
Tuesday afternoon will be mostly dry except for a few storms that look to develop over the hills in the west. Calm winds at 5 to 10 mph from the east. Afternoon highs in the low to mid-80s.
For the rest of the week, we will continue to see above average highs still in the mid-80s with mostly clear skies. This weekend brings more chances for showers and thunderstorms to move through KELOLAND.

A Web-only Primer on Public-key Encryption
A few terms first: cryptology, the study of codes and ciphers, is the union of cryptography (codemaking) and cryptanalysis (codebreaking). To cryptologists, codes and ciphers are not the same thing. Codes are lists of prearranged substitutes for letters, words, or phrasesi.e. "meet at the theater" for "fly to Chicago." Ciphers employ mathematical procedures called algorithms to transform messages into unreadable jumbles. Most cryptographic algorithms use keys, which are mathematical values that plug into the algorithm. If the algorithm says to encipher a message by replacing each letter with its numerical equivalent (A = 1, B = 2, and so on) and then multiplying the results by some number X, X represents the key to the algorithm. If the key is 5, "attack," for example, turns into "5 100 100 5 15 55." With a key of 6, it becomes "6 120 120 6 18 66." (Nobody would actually use this cipher, though; all the resulting numbers are divisible by the key, which gives it away.) Cipher algorithms and cipher keys are like door locks and door keys. All the locks from a given company may work in the same way, but all the keys will be different.

I am trying to work on a Javascript algorithm to loop through my MongoDB, search for two identifical URLs, and do an analysis of the header objects.
Below is a snippet of an example of this object:
"url": "www.professionalsupplementcenter.com",
"date": "Tue Mar 26 2013 15:08:31 GMT-0400 (EDT)",
"headers": {
"server": "Microsoft-IIS/7.5",
"x-aspnet-version": "4.0.30319",
"x-powered-by": "ASP.NET"
Specifically, I will have two collections. The two collections are two databases in MongoDB of HTTP header scrapes two months apart. Let's call them
todayScrape and
twoMonthFromNowScrape. Through these two collections, I want to compare their header objects, so,
x-aspnet-version, and
x-powered-by and see if there has been any upgrades within these numbers, E.G.
IIS/7.5 upgraded to
IIS/8.0 (in the future).
I do not have any code to display, because I don't know how to implement this system at all. I have no idea where to begin. I want to first compare the two URLs, then when the program identified that both URLs exist, it would then do a specific comparison of the three header objects. It could then report whenever these attributes are changed by scanning them in order and set off some event like
console.log("There has been a change") when the strings are not identical.
Can anyone give me any suggestions on where to begin? I have been stuck on this issue a couple days and being stuck has been disheartening. I would really like to begin implementing it, but I need some assistance.

I'm wondering if any of you have a suggestion as to where I would find a bag for my Dahon 3-speed. The bag probably shouldn't be made for a bike. It's a regular 20inch-wheel folder, and I'd use the bag to take the bike on greyhound-type buses. Durable is good, but I'm a poor student and I'd be protecting a bike I bought for $120 and that's a 20th of what some of you paid for your bikes... any bag that costs more than I paid for the bike is automatically out.
I'm thinking about sewing a regular tarp up somehow so it'll cover the bike, but maybe there's an easier solution i haven't thought of.

|Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have often been observed to express affect (feeling or emotion) either weakly, only in one modality at a time (e.g., choice of words), or in multiple modalities but not in a coordinated fashion. However, studies conducted to date have not conclusively determined whether crossmodal integration of affect expression indeed is impaired in ASD and what its detailed behavioral characteristics are. The goal of the project is to detail crossmodal integration of affect expression in ASD (with typical children and children with developmental language disorder as comparison groups) using an innovative method in which researchers independently measure affect expression in multiple expressive modalities (i.e., facial, gestural, and vocal). Findings from this study could provide a detailed picture of impairments in affect in ASD, deepening the understanding of impairments in social reciprocity and providing a basis for future studies to specifically target brain areas responsible for affect expression or design remedial programs for intensive training of under-used or uncoordinated expressive modalities. This study thus contributes to autism etiology, diagnosis, and treatment.

What is Ithaca like?Over the years, Ithaca has collected numerous accolades. Most recently, Ithaca was named listed one of Kiplinger's list of top ten smart towns. Also, Ithaca has been heralded as the "most enlightened city" by the Utne Reader, a national magazine. In many ways Ithaca is the quintessential "college town," because when both Cornell University and Ithaca College are in session there are 25,000 students in Ithaca which has a population of 50,000 non-student residents.
For students, Ithaca is a student-focused community where many business and services cater to the student market. Other national magazines have described the City of Ithaca in the following issues:
- "Homecomings Amid the Gorges" New York Times, November 13, 2008
- "America's 5 Best Mountain Biking Towns," Bike Magazine
- "60 Best American Public Places," Utne Reader

What is the weather really like?Ithaca certainly enjoys a change of seasons from a colorful spring to a summer free of humidity to a crisp fall with vibrant foliage. There is also a season known as winter in Ithaca, but it is much ado about nothing. The Cornell campus does receive snow during winter, but this is often the most picturesque time in Ithaca. Most law students live so close to campus that getting to law school never becomes an issue.
When can I visit Cornell Law?You're invited to visit us whenever it's convenient for you. However, we encourage you to visit while students are in session and when we have a student tour guide to show you around and answer questions. We also have a self-guided tour if one of our staff members will not be available. Please call the Admissions Office several days before you plan to arrive to schedule your visit.
Are University campus tours offered?Guided walking tours of the Cornell campus are offered throughout the year (except from late December through early January).
- The tours begin at the Information and Referral Center in the Day Hall lobby, no appointments are required.
- The tours are mostly outdoors; each lasts about one hour and 15 minutes.

Having a stylish home is qite important to me and about one year back in time I showed some pics from my casa Vasa. I do myself love to see how it looks inside other people's home and I also want to share some details from my place where my decoration theme is Scandinavia meets the world.
I do collect Starbucks city mugs and this far my collection is 33 pieces. I had zero.zero space to bring one home when I was in Taiwan, Philippines, New Zealand and Australia so I really have to travel back there so I can add them to my collection.
Then I also have some Thai elephants that I like since thay are pretty decorative so I am currently using them as an add on with some candles.
And my small magnet collection is not to forget. When I grew up we collected magnets from our trips and also all US states that we been to on family vacation because you could put them together to a puzzle but last year I decided to make my own collection so now I have started to fill up my fridge with some magnets from places I visit. Well, will see how long this tradition will last because I do not like to have too much stuff around.
