Boy, Born December 2008
Down syndrome
From a missionary who visited with him in August 2010: "Sean was found abandoned by the riverside at the age of 4 months. Sean is doing super and is well loved by his nannies!" Update from 2012: After his rehabilitation we feel his physical development is very good, he can clearly call father and mother, can sit alone, stand alone, can walk with holding something. He can not walk alone steadily, can feed himself snacks without help, good appetite, likes playing with other children sitting on the floor, occasionally he will challenge his favorite toys with other children. He is very favorable, and we hope him can find a family sooner to have parents to love him to live happier life.

Boy, born March 2007
Down Syndrome
Since July 2007 he has been with a foster family. Per report written in 2010: At the age of 36-39 months he can walk alone quite steadily, and when he was walking he can stoop down to pick up the toy on ground and then go on walking. At present he can only call "baba", but he can express his desire in body language, and if he wanted to drink water he will put his hand beside his mouth and look up. When he wanted to defecate or urinate he will make the sound and show actions familiar to his mother. Since he had learned to walk he had been very interested in outdoor activity, and he went to play games with other children in community every evening. He liked pulling his mother to go to the supermarket near to their home, and when they got there he will point at what he liked. He was very close to his father, and when his father came back home he will go out to welcome him.
At the age of 40-42 months he was very active, liked going out to play, even in cold days. He still did not speak much, besides father and mother he can say other words unclearly with the help of adults. He had to be fed, but he can drink water alone with cup with suction tubes. 43 months-present it has been too cold and he stays in house for most of the time. He likes to watch TV, and if there are children dancing in the program he will learn from them. He likes eating meat and is not choosy to food. He naps for 1-2 hours and has deep sleep. Sometimes he sleeps with adults, and sometimes he sleeps alone on his own bed. If he wants to go to toilet he will crouch and pull his trousers to tell adults sometimes. If adults remind him of going to toilet he will do so but they have to help him take off the trousers. He is very strong and seldom falls ill.
Single moms permitted, only one parent has to travel.

Robinson is diagnosed with down syndrome. His file reports that he does go to a kindergarten- likely in the orphanage. If he doesn't go to school, his foster mom takes him out to eat breakfast, where he will eat noodles and steamed stuffed buns. If the weather is nice, he plays in the yard. He takes a two hour nap each day. After he wakes up, he watches cartoons or will play with other children in the yard. He then eats dinner and some fruit after that. He has deep sleep. His foster mom watches his facial expressions to determine if he needs to use the bathroom. She then asks him if he needs to go. If he says yes, she will take him to the toilet. He can take his pants off by himself, but needs help putting his pants back on. Now that he goes to school, his language is better than before. He has good imitating ability. Every morning he sings children's songs he learned at kindergarten. He can put on and take off clothes with help, can go up and down stairs by himself; and he can eat without help (though he eats slowly since he can easily spill). He likes to smile at acquaintances. Sometimes he will call mama or nana and then continue to do his things. if you ask him to share his food, he will feed you and smile at you. Neighbors always say he is a quiet boy who has a ready smile. During summer vacation, his foster mom often takes him outside to let him experience more fresh things and to see and learn new things.
Wouldn't it be nice if Robinson was home next Christmas celebrating with a forever family of his very own?

Codey is a cute little almost 6 year old boy with Down Syndrome. His functioning, described as "medium" by a caregiver, was corrected by his teacher, who described him as "better than medium"! He can learn, and he speaks in meaningful language.
Codey is very cute, although he was very shy with us, strangers. He needs some physical help. He wears diapers and he needs some help dressing but he is making progress. He is described as having "good focus", "curious", and "naughty". The latter has a very positive connotation in China, where naughty means, smart, funny and clever. He plays very well and interactively with the other children. It is obvious that he is really loved by the staff and his teacher. Codey has been healthy, with no significant medical history or surgeries. He looks clean, well dressed, well nourished, and well cared for. The most touching part of Codey is his attachment to another child in his group, Sasha, a little girl his age who also has Down Syndrome. They have a very close bond with each other. Cody attends a special class in the orphanage where her is taught by a special ed teacher, along with a group of peers who have DS. This little boy appears to have a lot of potential. There are videos of Codey.
The agency has a $2000 grant available for Codey.

From a family who met him in 2015: "Heinrich ran right up to me and asked to go up, and then enjoyed a play session full of jumping. He definitely has a lot of energy, and I was amazed at his gross motor skills. He loved the play area's rocking horse!"
UPDATE as of June 2015: Heinrich continues to make great improvements. He is communicating and asked to be picked up. He is strong, happy, and loves attention.
Update as of April 2013: His development is delayed; he recently started to walk without help, but not yet steady. Emotions are weak, play activity is primitive, throws away toys, turns them around, puts into the mouth, sucks his fingers, makes stereotypic movements with his head, swings.

Handsome Kelvin is 8 years old, and waiting for his family!
From a family who met him in June 2014:
This calm little guy came up to me with pleading eyes for attention and is just so polite. God has heard his prayers, and now he is listed for adoption! He is not overbearing or competitive at all. Rather, he is observant and inquisitive. He is about the size of a six year-old and just so gentle. I would take him home in a heartbeat if he was available before. He takes turns riding the red wagon around the orphanage grounds as the bigger boys pull him, and he gestures politely for fresh fruit when he sees it is available. He is kind to other children. He says a few words in his native language, and listened carefully when I was giving descriptions of my family photos. I have confidence that he would do wonderfully in any kind of family, and it is obvious– he can surely reciprocate love! He enjoyed throwing balls, going on walks, playing see-saw, and listening to English descriptions. Whoever adopts this little love will be so blessed to call him a beloved son.

We are all made of stars? This is an amazing idea, wonderful way to visualize the guild.
I know it's a little late to enter as it's 1 AM here but I started working on it the 8th of February so... another space map! We talked a lot about stars in the CWBP2, that's where I got the idea.
My idea was to represent every members of the Guild on a single map. Every member is a star. Some are brighter than others. The brightness mostly depends on the numbers on messages as of February 8th. A mix of serious and less scientific information is listed on the left. I can't guarantee that I have the 43 243 stars but I tried to have the right number. I used a click counter and duplicated the layers... Anyway it will be hard to verify.

We are all made of stars? This is an amazing idea, wonderful way to visualize the guild.
I love star maps! and in this one I'm a star! it looks wonderful, and it's a great idea. Good luck!
That's a brilliant idea! It makes me think of network models (like peer to peer or financial connections) that actually looks like galaxies or nets. So, makes sense to map the guild this way (with an artistic vision)!
Very Clever!!

Yes, very clever. So many great ideas this month.
Fantastic idea! Probably my favorite interpretation of the theme this month!
Interesting concept. But you're not showing up in the thumbs so change (# Latest WIP #) To ( ### Latest WIP ### ). Good luck !

So you don't twist and rip the thin rubber boot, it will slide as you rotate the piston shaft while adjusting it.

Fact Sheet: Clinical Features and Treatments of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) - An Update126
By: Barry W. Jaffin, MD; Vera Kandror Denmark, MD
Nearly two million people are affected with IBD [e.g., Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis] in the U.S. These inflammatory conditions are a group of several distinct disorders which probably explains the diversity of extent and activity of inflammation within the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The age of onset is usually in the 20s and 30s, although there is a slight second peak in incidence in the 50s to 60s. Men and women are equally affected in IBD as opposed to IBS, which is female predominant. Revised and updated 2009.Topics: Inflammation, Other Disorders/Symptoms
Fact Sheet: Report from IFFGD Research Award Winner: Understanding Pain and Discomfort in Functional GI Disorders203
Pain, a burning or otherwise uncomfortable sensation in the upper abdomen, nausea, or fullness - all of these are symptoms many patients list when they seek medical advice. While we may think of ulcers, gallstones or perhaps inflammation of the pancreas as the cause, all too often even extensive and sophisticated testing does not show any abnormalities. So, why do all these persons feel pain or any of the other symptoms they report?Topics: Dyspepsia, pain in upper abdomen or chest, Inflammation, Lower Abdominal Pain, Pelvic Pain, Pain Management, Research
Fact Sheet: Gut Bacteria and Irritable Bowel Syndrome209
Does bacteria play a role in IBS? If so, is it helpful or harmful? What about antibiotics, or probiotics? Bacteria are present in the normal gut (intestines) and in large numbers the lower parts of the intestine. These "normal" bacteria have important functions in life. A variety of factors may disturb the mutually beneficial relationship between the gut bacteria and its host – and disease may result. The possibility that gut bacteria could have a role in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) may surprise some; there is indeed, now quite substantial evidence to support the idea that disturbances in the bacteria that populate the intestine may have a role in at least some patients with IBS. This article looks at recent findings about possible influences of bacteria in IBS, which may be either negative or positive, and at various treatment approaches.
Fact Sheet: Post-infectious Irritable Bowel Syndrome: A Sub-Type of Irritable Bowel Syndrome210
Irritable bowel syndrome is one of the most common gastrointestinal (GI) disorders. Within this large group of people, there is a small subgroup whose symptoms begin suddenly. It happens after what appears to be a bout of infection in the GI tract (gastroenteritis). How often do persons who suffer bacterial gastroenteritis develop IBS? Who gets post-infectious IBS and what causes the disorder? How is it treated? A review of the topic is presented.
Fact Sheet: Understanding Functional GI Disorders252
By: International Foundation for Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders IFFGD
Functional gastrointestinal (GI) disorders are a highly prevalent group of persistent and recurring conditions that can affect any part of the GI tract. They afflict millions of people of all ages, causing discomfort ranging from inconvenience to disability. Yet they remain largely hidden and misunderstood. This article explains the challenges of the conditions and the approaches to diagnoses and treatments.

On October 27, 2012 I was long removed from the fall of 1986. And instead of weighting in at around 145 to 150 lbs I'm guessing I would weigh in at around 190 to 195 lbs. And I was far from leading the pack. Yet for a moment, just for a moment, I was transported back to a faster and significantly lighter place in time. I could clearly see that skinny kid with a great mullet in 1986. My stride was long and my pace was closer to 5 minutes a mile than the 9 minute mile I was trudging through at that moment. It was an awesome experience, because for that moment..I was young, fast, and skinny again and I could actually appreciate it! It was one of those awesome moments in life where I was literally dreaming with my eyes wide open! And then the tears welled up in my eyes as I was transported back to the here and now. I'm still not clear if those were tears of joy or sadness, and I'm not sure that it matters. I know that you are thinking that I am going to use this as an illustration for some kind of life lesson, and you would be right.
It could have been very easy for me to get discouraged when I returned from my brief out of body experience to the here amd now. Let's face it, I had just returned from a moment in time where I could proudly run with my shirt off to a moment in time were I could possibly benefit from a sports bra! So I could have gotten discouraged, and then slowed down as I jiggled my way to the finish line, but that isn't what happened. At that moment I remembered a plaque that Lisa Dolin gave to me in the 10th grade which said, "The race is not always to the swift, but to those who keep on running" (based on Ecclesiastes 9:11). So I puffed up my ever expanding chest, and went for it. I didn't set any records, but I finished strong and that is a great accomplishment in running and in life.

James "The Rocket" Rispoli Rip'n-it-up at Road America
NEWS June 13, 2013
Courtesy of Andrea Wilson
(June 13, 2013) - I am back training after my Road America race where we achieved our main goal and that was to get out of there 5th in the point hunt. We also had a goal to be in the top 5 in both races and while I was up battling with the leaders on both days, we didn't quite have the set ups to get the job done on a consistent basis. But that's alright, we're learning, we're moving forward and that's what's most important at this time.
So whatever you do keep on reading because I 'm going to tell what it was like to run with the fastest racers in the nation at one of the longest tracks on the AMA Pro Racing circuit.
Road America is always a bit sketchy weather wise and this year that didn't change one bit. The threat of rain loomed over us for practice and early morning on Saturday but only rained Friday evening which allowed us to bypass any track time on rain tires. Our warmest day of the weekend event was on Friday where it climbed into the 70's. But that would be the last time we saw that number as the weather barely got out of the high 50's or low 60's for the second qualifying session and races. All in all it was a very productive race weekend where myself and the team were able to chip away at adjustments that would translate them into faster and more consistent laps times. We proved that running up front at the opening round of Daytona was no fluke, that our overall team has the equipment, talent and knowledge to be a force to be reckoned with throughout the season.
Friday's first practice was the first time back on a bike in race action since Daytona. We had a long layoff and even still I managed to get some quality laps in and and gather some valuable data on the set up. The bike and I weren't really connected 100% and our times showed this. I felt we could enhance the turning, rear grip take the next steps forward. we got closed for sure but we still had work to do.
In the first qualifying session I was able to achieve a 22.5 and put the National Guard/Celtic Racing GSX R600 in the 6th provisional qualifying position. I was not real happy with the results. I spent time going over all the areas of the track where I felt I had opportunities to make up time and then worked with the team to come up with a plan for the morning. I felt good about the plan but knew it would be difficult to improve on our times since the weather was going to be a lot colder in the morning which meant a lack of grip compared to Friday's session.
Our second qualifying session went well and while we were unable to better our times, I tested stability on the brakes and cornering speed on some of the more challenging sections and my times in those specific areas were better. After the session was over we made additional adjustments in the same direction and were ready to rock race one at Road America.
Race One Daytona Sport Bike Class
Our first race on a regular track in the new class was a positive one. Our set up changes were working better than in qualifying and overall I was pleased that I was able to stay with the front group for the first half of the race and didn't find the pace a stretch to do. I eventually got shuffled back by making a mistake running wide and gave up two positions while running in 4th. I got back in line but I ended up what would turn out to be the second group of leader who eventually would battle for 5th place. That small mistake made the rest of my race hard since the group would fight to lead the second group instead of putting our heads down to catch the lead group. I was in good position on the last lap but with the long straight at Road America I was double drafter at the line ended up being drafted at the line and would end up in 7th position. A bit of a heart breaker because I really knew I could have been battling for better positions but was happy to score more points toward the championship. The experience was good and I bettered my lap time by over one second from qualifying so I knew we were going faster and in the right direction with every adjustment. I still wasn't 100 percent happy with the bike and again we came together as a group, discussed each section of the track and came up with a new game plan for race two Sunday.
Sunday Race Two Daytona Sport Bike Class
With our new game plan in hand we were ready to increase our pace and improve our rhythm on Sunday. The start of the race for me was great! I quickly moved into the top 4 positions and was able to hang there with no problem. With a full fuel load and new tires my Suzuki GSX R600 was carving well and I was able to stay right on the rear wheel of the factory teams. That is of course until the straights. The Yamaha's were still able to pull off the corners better even with all the set up changes. To hang with them I had to do a little over riding of the bike by going in deeper than most and trying to get on the gas earlier without loosing tire traction. It was a bit frustrating but for the most part I was making it work. But would I be able to keep it up for the entire race was the question. With that said I continued to challenge upfront until I lost the draft of the front pack and was lost in no-mans land pushing my own wind in 5th. With 7 laps to go and only a 5 second lead on the next group I was losing time on the long straights after pulling my fastest lap of the weekend of 20.9. I could see from the lap boards that the last lap was going to be a barn burner since the chase group was going to catch me and it again would be a dog fight for that 5th position.
As faith would have it, I battled with the chase group on the last lap finding away in front of them but was over taken and drafted at the line to take another 7th place finish. In my head I was very disappointed but I kept on remembering what my coaches Mark and JP have always told me. They taught me there will be days you just won't have the package for the win and it is those days that you push and take home as many points as you can and move on to the next one. Well that's what we did and by riding smart and to the limit we managed to achieve our #1 goal for the weekend and that was to come out in 5th place in the Daytona Sport Bike standings when the weekend was done.
I want everyone to know, I have one of the best teams in the paddock behind me. Together we are racing, over coming challenges and we're all getting better at what we do. I want to thank my entire team, especially my crew chief Barry Mac, Dustin and Mike for doing everything it takes to give me the best race bikes on the planet. They are the best. To everyone else who came together to help this ride open up for me I say thank you! I will do whatever I have to do to be ready to race for every event.
Till next time do what I like to do, GO FASTER...
Thanks for following!

Now I can heat up home-cooked meals without leaving my job-site. The small interior limits the portiom size, but the 10-15 minute heat-up time compensates for the size. Because of it's appearance, I can leave it set on the backseat of my car in full view and not fear some one will think it is worth stealing.

HMRC Agent Strategy
The HMRC white paper, "Establishing the future relationship between the Tax Agent community and HMRC" is one of the biggest developments affecting the tax profession in recent years and for many advisers will shape the rest of their careers.
The paper emerges at a time when relations between agents and the tax department have deteriorated to an alarming extent, as is regularly documented in our Any Answers pages. The document is an attempt to create a more effective "fast track" for agents using HMRC's online capabilities, but also includes "enrolment" proposals that are causing alarm.
The best hope we have of making the reforms work is to respond wholeheartedly to this consultation, by telling HMRC firmly what won't work, and pushing it towards acknowledging where it can improve its own service levels. We've heard all the complaints for many years - please read the consultation paper, and then use this group to highlight specific issues within it. It is essential that you make your views known.

Catalyst is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, given to protagonist Carl Johnson by fellow Grove Street Families member Ryder from his home in the Grove Street cul-de-sac in the Ganton district of Los Santos, San Andreas.
Carl pays another visit to Ryder, who is making his own "water" (marijuana dipped in embalming fluid and then laced with PCP) after he couldn't find it in his backyard. While Carl and Ryder are talking, Tenpenny and his accomplices drop by to inform the two that there will be a army munitions train passing through town shortly, and that enemy gangs such as the Ballas will try to raid the train.
The two immediately depart, arriving at the train only to find the Los Santos Vagos have ambushed the train first and are attempting to offload munitions fighting the Grove Street boys. Once the Vagos are dead, the Ballas show up and try to take the train. Not wanting to lose the munitions, Carl jumps on the train. Ryder is now in the back of his Picador, who waits with a Grove gangster driving behind the train, with Carl throwing some boxes to him. After acquiring sufficient munitions, the two are pursued by the police. They go to the nearby Pay 'n' Spray to lose the cops, and drive back to Ryder's home.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Drive Ryder's truck to the ammo train
- Shoot the Vagos robbing the train
- Protect the train from the Ballas
- Climb onto the back of the train
- Toss the munitions boxes to Ryder
- Use the nearby pay 'n' spray to lose the cops
- Take the crates back to Grove Street
The reward for this mission is an increase in respect. The mission Robbing Uncle Sam is unlocked.

Citing Sources to Responsibly Use Information
1. Introduction to Plagiarism
Concepts and Definition
- To avoid plagiarism, it is important to learn to cite the sources you use in your research. According to Dictionary.com, plagiarism is the unauthorized use or close imitation of the language and thoughts of another author and the representation of them as one's own original work.
- Source: "plagiarism." Dictionary.com Unabridged (v 1.1). Random House, Inc. 15 Apr. 2009. Dictionary.com http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/plagiarism.
- CCSF Policy from "Rules of Student Conduct" : "Plagiarism is defined as the unauthorized use of the language and thought of another author and representing them as your own". Plagiarism is a violation of the rules of student conduct, and discipline may include, but is not limited to, "a failing grade in an assignment, test, or class in proven cases of cheating or plagiarism or other academic dishonesty".
2. Incorporating Information and Ideas from Other Sources
- Paraphrasing is expressing another person's work in your own words, while still giving credit to the other person's original work. It requires changing more than a few words.
- Quoting means providing another person's words exactly as they are expressed, with no changes or omissions, and clearly stating the source of the words.
- Summarizing is using your own words to explain another author's main idea(s) in much briefer form than the original work. It is similar to paraphrasing, but paraphrasing generally restates a short section of a work, while summarizing condenses longer material. Again, credit must be given to the original source of information.

3. Citing Sources to Avoid Plagiarism
- When citing sources in a paper, there are two components. First, you must include brief information within the text of the paper to indicate your source (in-text citation). Then you must include a complete citation or reference in a list of works cited. Select a sample paper from the website below, and look for the citation format for in-text and "Works Cited." Research and Documentation Online by Diana Hacker
- Several citation style/format guides exist to tell you how to properly format your paper and to make citations or references consistent and understandable to the reader. Most CCSF classes use MLA or APA. What do these acronyms mean? Find the answer at Evaluating and Citing Sources
- Elements of in-text and "Works Cited" citations
- a. full citations in the "Works Cited"
- MLA Print and Online Sources APA Online and Print Sources
- b. in-text (parenthetical) references
- MLA Intext Formats APA Intext Sources

4. Being Organized and Saving Time: Methods for keeping track of your information
- Why is it important to have a system for keeping track of information, quotations, facts etc. from your sources?
- What are some methods for doing this?
- Many databases provide you with formatted citations to help you keep track of your work.
- There are also programs on the Web that will help you with formatting. What are some of the pros and cons of using Web-based citation generators for your "Works Cited" page?

Comments On Dec 30, 2010:I bought a set of these for my FJR 1300 and did not get the mileage that I expected. This is a dual compound tire with the hard centre and soft sides. I didn't see any real advantage to the tire...it was more expensive than my original Bridgestone tires and I got better wear out of the "Stones"

This season, bold lips are set to be big. So give subdued glosses a well-deserved break, start practicing that pout, and invest in these three must-have lipstick shades.
- Electric Orange
Bright orange shades were all over the S/S 2014 runways – and it's a trend Hollywood's hottest starlets have been sporting on every major red carpet. (See: Lupita Nyong'o and Selena Gomez.) Try Lancôme's Rouge in Love Lipstick in Madame Tulipe and keep the rest of your makeup minimal.
- Radiant Orchid
This hue was dubbed Pantone's 2014 Color of the Year, and while you've probably seen it on this season's trending tops and dresses, it also works in makeup form. Turn to Camilla Belle for inspiration and pick up a tube of Sephora+Pantone Universe Radiant Rush Matte Lipstick to execute the look.
- Soft Berry
After being featured on the JOIE runway, this classic shade is making a huge comeback. Look to Micheal Kors GLAM Lip Lacquer in Dame and apply with your ring finger to add color without looking overdone.
