About the Book
The thrilling cold war masterwork by the nobel prize winner, published in full for the first time
Moscow, Christmas Eve, 1949.The Soviet secret police intercept a call made to the American embassy by a Russian diplomat who promises to deliver secrets about the nascent Soviet Atomic Bomb program. On that same day, a brilliant mathematician is locked away inside a Moscow prison that houses the country's brightest minds. He and his fellow prisoners are charged with using their abilities to sleuth out the caller's identity, and they must choose whether to aid Joseph Stalin's repressive state—or refuse and accept transfer to the Siberian Gulag camps . . . and almost certain death.
First written between 1955 and 1958, In the First Circle is Solzhenitsyn's fiction masterpiece. In order to pass through Soviet censors, many essential scenes—including nine full chapters—were cut or altered before it was published in a hastily translated English edition in 1968. Now with the help of the author's most trusted translator, Harry T. Willetts, here for the first time is the complete, definitive English edition of Solzhenitsyn's powerful and magnificent classic.
Educator and Librarian Resources
Critical Praise
"The appearance of this new version of Solzhenitsyn's best novel is an exciting literary event. This is a great and important book, whose qualities are finally fully available to English readers. A fifth longer than the original, it is a vastly better novel." — Washington Post
"The new edition of Solzhenitsyn's epic novel, In the First Circle captures better than any other work of fiction the quintessence of communist rule at its Stalinist peak: all-pervasive, paranoid, oppressive, incompetent, lethal. ... The longer text is deeper and darker." — The Economist
"Solzhenitsyn's Cold War masterpiece ... a new radically retranslated edition, which is greatly expanded." — London Times

WHIPPLE - Just feet from the railroad bridge spanning Ohio 821 in Whipple, Scott Bever and William "Bill" Byers were installing brick-type edging in Bever's front yard Wednesday.
Because of safety reasons, Bever, 58, of 40 Railroad St., said the historic bridge should not be there.
"That thing needs to come out of here," he said.

PHIL FOREMAN The Marietta Times
Scott Bever, who lives on Railroad Street close to the railroad bridge in Whipple, said Wednesday he supports taking out the old railroad bridge to make Ohio 821 at that location safer, as a car speeds south behind him.
That hasn't been the opinion of every resident, however, as in recent weeks citizens mobilized to try to save the bridge, after a rumor that an oil and gas company planned to tear it down in order to create a more usable route for workers and equipment.
Beaver said the three side streets that intersect along Ohio 821 on either side of the railroad bridge have blind spots, forcing
vehicles - especially school buses - far out onto the highway so the driver can get on Ohio 821 safely. A check of the time allowed for that to happen before getting hit by another car was 4.8 seconds, he said.
"I'll pay for the seed to seed it down (after the bridge and abutments come out)," Bever said. "It'd be doing a service if they took this out."
While it is unclear which oil company made at least an inquiry about the bridge's ownership and the possibility of removing it to make launching a drilling operation nearby easier, community leaders and citizens of Whipple began organizing themselves into the Sons and Daughters of Whipple to save the bridge.
A post on the group's Facebook page reported that Maria Haberman, legislative aide to Ohio Sen. Lou Gentile, D-Steubenville, told Whipple resident Lloyd Booth this week "the trestle will not be coming down. The state has no demolition and expects none. Also, the drilling company said it was too costly to tear down."
"My office has been contacted by concerned citizens, and I plan to be in contact with all parties involved," Gentile said.
He was not aware of any final decision related to bridge removal, an oil drilling permit or changes in the oil company's plans.
Washington County Engineer Roger Wright said an oil company approached him recently to ask about ownership of the bridge. Wright said he told the representative he would ensure the tax maps and ownership information at the Washington County Recorder's Office was correct. He verified the information and reported his findings to the representatives, he said.
Jamie Hendershot, with the Ohio Department of Transportation highway management administration, said a company asked about the bridge's ownership. It is privately owned at least partially by Albert Lang, of 135 Morris Loop Road.
"There are no intentions to do anything," Hendershot said of the bridge.
Bever suggested dismantling the bridge, painting it and moving it farther up Railroad Street, behind where he lives, so people can look at it.
The railroad bridge is so special to some residents of Whipple that Chelsea Warren had to have a wedding portrait shot May 18 on the historic bridge when she married Devon Polk.
"That's one thing we wanted to do is to get a picture there," said newlywed Chelsea Polk, 21, of Whipple. "We weren't sure how long it would be there. We had 700 pictures for the wedding, and that has to be my favorite."
Polk said her grandparents owned a gray home near the bridge until the flooding in 1998 destroyed it. Her husband's family bought the home and renovated it.
"My husband grew up in the same house my dad did," Polk said.
The railroad was built in the late 19th century and remained in operation until about 1967. The tracks extended to Cambridge, Bever said.
Lloyd Booth's son, Justin, had his own role in the campaign to save the trestle. He was in charge of contacting media outlets and local and state government representatives.
Justin, 36, of Nelsonville, is service manager for Mark Porter Chevrolet in Pomeroy.
"It's a small town," Justin said. "When push comes to shove, they all get behind each other. (The bridge) is iconic to people who have grown up there. Everything is in relation to the bridge."
Justin's memories of the bridge include being a teenage and hanging out on Whipple's favorite landmark.
"There might have been some spray-painting involved," he said. "For anyone who grew up in there, 'WBA for life' will ring a bell."
He also remembers carrying 5-gallon buckets up and down the track picking up remnants from the railroad days, including railroad ties and spikes.
Isaac Ayers, 39, was working in his A&S Machine Shop with A.J. Johns, 38, of Whipple Wednesday. The shop is next to the bridge.
Ayes said the landmark is a forever kind.
"You don't see too many of them anymore," he said.

Thibodaux woman starts foundation to honor son
Published: Thursday, July 11, 2013 at 7:53 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, July 11, 2013 at 7:53 p.m.
Thibodaux resident Cynthia Roussel founded The Blake Terry Memorial Foundation after divers searched for her son, who failed to resurface during a spear fishing trip Aug. 13, 2011. His body was never found.
A local work boat was named after Blake because of the impact he had in the diving community, Roussel said.
In May, the work boat "Capt. Blake Terry" was able to assist the Coast Guard and help a grounded boat near the Mississippi Gulf Outlet, which Roussel was proud of.
"This is great stuff," Roussel said. "You just don't read enough about good Samaritans helping out."
Roussel is a fellow good Samaritan. She's an advocate for trying to inform new and experienced divers the importance of safety while taking on the dangerous sport of spear fishing.
"Trying to rescue and recover Blake, we learned that the Coast Guard only performs surface searches, not dives," she said.
Besides responding to every future diving search in Louisiana, the foundation has two long-term goals: Get officials and families to call the group whenever a missing diver is reported, as well as equip divers in the area with a device that will help rescuers find them.
Through the foundation, "our goal is to draw awareness to families and friends on what to do and how to take action if necessary," Roussel said.
Local dive shops carry a book, "Burning Daylight," that Blake's family wrote. It tells Blake's story and offers safety information to divers.
The Blake Terry Memorial Foundation can be reached at 860-7872 or 446-5537.

Gander Mountain to build new store
Outdoor retailer will come to city in late spring
Published: Saturday, December 29, 2012 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, December 28, 2012 at 9:50 p.m.
TUSCALOOSA | Outdoor enthusiasts will soon have another option for their camping, fishing, hunting and other outdoor lifestyle needs in Tuscaloosa.
St. Paul, Minn.-based Gander Mountain recently announced it will open its 121st store in Tuscaloosa in late spring.
The 43,000-square-foot facility, which will be at 3325 McFarland Blvd. E., will offer new and used firearms along with gear and accessories for hunting, fishing, camping, boating and archery, as well as men's and women's active performance outdoor and casual apparel and footwear. Brands that will be available include The North Face, Columbia, Under Armour, GSX, Mountain Hardwear, Carhartt, Guide Series, Marmot, Asics, Merrell, Keen, Irish Setter, Patagonia and more.
"We run in the same vein as other outdoor type stores, but we're a little larger," said Jess Myers, Gander Mountain Co. spokesman. "We just offer good gear, good expertise and good prices. A lot of our stores are also designed to look like a log cabin or something similar, so customers get that outdoor feeling as soon as they see us."
What began as a catalog-based retailer in 1960 has grown to 119 stores — soon to be 121 with the opening of the Tuscaloosa site and another location in Gastonia, N.C. — in 24 states. The Tuscaloosa location will be the fourth in the state and the first in West Alabama; the company's other Alabama stores are in Florence, Opelika and Huntsville.
"Alabama is known around the world for college football, but we've found that people on that side of the state have a love for outdoors that comes in a close second to their love for football," Myers said "We've also seen that there are family generations worth of hunting, camping, hiking, fishing. Activities are passed down from fathers to sons, mothers to daughters, and we're proud to be able to offer the gear and products needed to continue those traditions."
The new store will also serve as a slight boost to the job market, creating up to 70 new jobs for the area. Myers said he could not provide an exact number of needed employees, but new stores usually have about 20 full-time and 40 to 50 part-time employees. An ideal employee would be someone who is friendly and personable, and having an outdoor background would be a plus. He anticipated interviews starting "soon."
"We pride ourselves on hiring people that know the outdoors and the gear, and can provide reliable information for customers, rather than just trying to sell as many products as they can," Myers said.
While there is not a set opening date yet, Myers said the company hopes to have the store up and running as soon as it is able in the spring.
For information on special events, activities and promotions that will be part of the new Tuscaloosa store grand opening celebration, visit gandermountain.com. For information about job opportunities or to apply online, visit gandermountain.com/

Wednesday October 17, 2012
Martinez, Ga--It has been a crazy season for the Lakeside football team to say the least. A tough as nails schedule and then throw in some key injuries. When those injuries happen, people need to step up and this past Friday, it was quarterback Tanner Brassell doing just that and earning our Academy Sports and Outdoors player of the week award.
Brassell started the year on the defensive side of the ball but an injury here and there and for the past two and a half games he's been under center. Against houston county, you couldn't have asked for a better peformance. 15 of 18 passes, 325 yars and three touchdowns.
"I had good protection up front and I knew it was going to be coming" said Tanner Brassell "So I just stayed back, the pressure came, I got out of there and delivered a good ball."
"To be there and see how it unfolded, it was pretty exciting to watch a lot of those touchdown throws" said Jarrett Troxler "A lot of those throws he made were on the run, making defenders miss and keeping his eyes down field. Things like that you wouldn't expect from a guy who hadn't played quarterback in two years."
Brassell did play quarterback when he was in 9th and 10th grade and readily admits he never had a game quite like this.

2.3-1 Intent: General and Specific -- § 53a-3 (11)
Revised to December 1, 2007
Intent relates to the condition of mind of the person who commits the act, his or her purpose in doing it. The law recognizes two types of intent, general intent and specific intent.General intent
General intent is the intent to engage in conduct. Thus, in this case, it is not necessary for the state to prove that the defendant intended the precise harm or the precise result which eventuated. Rather, the state is required to prove that the defendant intentionally and not inadvertently or accidentally engaged in (his/her) actions. In other words, the state must prove that the defendant's actions were intentional, voluntary and knowing rather than unintentional, involuntary and unknowing.
Specific intent
Specific intent is the intent to achieve a specific result. A person acts "intentionally" with respect to a result when (his/her) conscious objective is to cause such result. What the defendant intended is a question of fact for you to determine. <See Evidence of Intent, Instruction 2.3-2.>
<Court may insert example to illustrate the difference.>
[<If both general and specific intent crimes have been charged:>
The concept of specific intent applies to count(s) _____.
The concept of general intent applies to count(s) _____.]
It is improper to read the entire statutory definition of intent when instructing on a specific intent crime. State v. Holmes, 75 Conn. App. 721, 737 (2003), cert. denied, 264 Conn. 903 (2003); State v. DeBarros, 58 Conn. App. 673, 684, cert. denied, 254 Conn. 931 (2000).
"[T]he difference between general
and specific intent [is defined] as follows: 'When the elements of a crime
consist of a description of a particular act and a mental element not specific
in nature, the only issue is whether the defendant intended to do the proscribed
act. If he did so intend, he has the requisite general intent for culpability.
When the elements of a crime include a defendant's intent to achieve some result
additional to the act, the additional language distinguishes the crime from
those of general intent and makes it one requiring a specific intent.'"
State v. Shine, 193 Conn. 632, 638 (1984).

Stephen Curry finished with 18 points and six assists to carry the short-sleeve-wearing Warriors from 13 points down in the fourth quarter. Golden State, also playing without center Andrew Bogut, hadn't won against San Antonio since another overtime game at home—all the way back on Jan. 7, 2008.
Danny Green scored 20 points and Tim Duncan had 19 points and 18 rebounds for the NBA-leading Spurs, who had won five straight and 16 of 17 overall.
The Spurs seemed to take control between the third and fourth quarters, breaking away from a tie game with 13 straight points behind Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker. Both finished with 18 points, and both disappeared late.
The teams traded baskets for the final 6 minutes of regulation.
Lee's driving layup put the Warriors ahead 90-89 with a little more than a minute to play in the fourth. That lead lasted only a few seconds, with Green banking a floater off the glass.
Curry came out of a timeout slashing through the lane and tossed a midair pass out to Jack through a crowd of defenders. Jack swished the 3-pointer with 7.
The rest of the celebration would have to wait.
Duncan took the inbounds pass on the other end from Ginobili, who knifed through the lane for a quick give-and-go and a tying layup. Jack missed a desperation shot, sending the game to overtime.
The energy remained rampant in the extra period, and so did the highlights.
Jack followed with another long jumper, freezing Parker off the dribble to put the Warriors ahead by four with 56.5 seconds left. Green hit a 3-pointer before Parker missed a potential go-ahead layup. Lee grabbed the rebound and tossed the ball to Curry, whose two free throws put the Warriors ahead 104-101.
Duncan's errant pass was stolen on the next possession to seal San Antonio's loss. Jack hit a trio of free throws, and the Warriors finally came out on top against the Spurs.
Golden State was without Bogut, who sat out with back spasms and is out indefinitely. The 7-foot center has missed 43 of 55 games this season, most recovering from surgery on his left ankle.
The new-look Warriors still put to rest a staggering 16 straight losses against San Antonio. The Warriors wore their yellow short-sleeved jerseys complete with pinstriped shorts for the first time, and perhaps the look shook off the Spurs.
At the very least, they caused a stir on the court and around social media.
The first half played out in less mesmerizing fashion, with San Antonio setting its typical plodding pace. Both teams took seven-point leads during the first half, and each struggled to create separation.
The intensity finally picked up late in the third quarter when the home team delighted the announced crowd of 19,596—Golden State's 16th straight sellout—with some daring and dazzling efforts, starting with Curry's bank shot after getting knocked down by Duncan to begin a three-point play.
Jack also surprised Parker from behind for a steal, forced a foul and made both free throws. He added a jumper that tied it at 67 before San Antonio regained its rhythm.
Ginobili twisted his way through the lane for a layup and a jumper as the Spurs scored 13 straight, including the first 12 points of the fourth. They went ahead 80-67 on Green's 3-pointer with 8:55 to play.
Golden State answered with its own 13-0 run capped by a 3-pointer from Curry, whose swish came mere feet in front of jubilant owner Joe Lacob sitting courtside. Both waived to the fans roaring to their feet, setting the stage for the frantic finish.
NOTES: Spurs swingman Stephen Jackson dressed but did not play for undisclosed reasons. He played against the Clippers a night earlier, his first game back since his wife had a miscarriage. Jackson had left the team in Chicago on Feb. 11. ... The Warriors are also planning to wear the sleeved jerseys for home games against Houston on March 8 and Chicago on March 15. ... The Spurs have won 28 in a row against the Warriors in San Antonio.

Combine an overnight at our Ohio Bed and Breakfast, Whispering Pines Bed & Breakfast with this delightful ballet in Canton, a short 30 drive.
Under the artistic direction of Cassandra Crowley Canton Ballet will present its sparkling holiday showpiece, The Nutcracker, in four performances on December 10, 11 and 12 at Canton's Palace Theatre. Performance times are Friday, 7:30 pm; Saturday, 2:00 pm and 7:30 pm; and Sunday, 2:00 pm.
Canton Ballet has offered its beloved audience favorite since its first public performance in 1968. The tale of The Nutcracker, written by E.T.A. Hoffman in 1816, has fascinated and inspired artists, composers and audiences for almost 200 years. Its first presentation as a classic ballet took place at the Maryinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg, Russia, in 1892.
One of the brightest stars on northeast Ohio's annual holiday scene, Canton Ballet's The Nutcracker is presented in lavish sets and glittering costumes to the gorgeous music of Piotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky with choreography by Crowley, Canton Ballet choreographer in residence Angelo Lemmo and former assistant artistic director Carol Hageman.
In two acts The Nutcracker tells the story of a Christmas Eve in 1860 at the home of young Clara and her family during their holiday party. The mysterious magician Drosselmeyer makes a surprise visit and presents Clara with a very special Nutcracker doll. Thus begins the amazing journey of Clara and her Nutcracker prince—from a frenzied battle between life-sized toy soldiers and mice through the kingdom of Snow to the Land of the Sugar Plum Fairy.
Admission is $18-22 and tickets may be purchased online at cantonballet.com or by telephone at 330-455-6880.
The beautifully restored historic Palace Theatre is located at 605 Market Ave. N. in downtown Canton.
I'll look forward to seeing you soon,

As Shirakawa's troubles mount, aide jumps ship for new county job
As Santa Clara County Supervisor George Shirakawa Jr.'s deputy chief of staff, Andrea Flores Shelton has had her hands full.
A highly regarded staffer for well-respected former District 2 Supervisor Blanca Alvarado, Shelton has seen her new boss making headlines in all the wrong ways, from overspending his office budget and hiring an unnecessary bodyguard to failing to file required campaign finance reports.
So it's perhaps not surprising that as Shirakawa is being investigated by state and local authorities over his missing 2008 campaign files, Shelton, 38, is leaving Shirakawa's office this week to join the county's Public Health Department as its new "Injury and Violence Prevention Coordinator."
But Shelton said her departure has nothing to do with Shirakawa's more recently publicized troubles. In fact, she said she applied for the job in July, a month after Shirakawa had won an uncontested election for his second supervisorial term in June.
And she said she harbors no ill will toward Shirakawa, for whom she began working in 2009 as a communications director, as well as being his expert on public safety issues.
"I can say that I'm very proud of the policy work that I've done for George," Shelton said, noting efforts that included the county's adaptation to the state's realignment plan, which unloaded the responsibility for punishing and rehabilitating thousands of nonviolent felons from California's prison system to local communities.
There was the county's success in finding alternatives to juvenile hall detention, which she said reduced the juvenile hall population by half, as well as Shirakawa's role in creating an "immigration hold'' policy that shields illegal immigrants arrested for nonviolent crimes and misdemeanors from being deported.
"George," Shelton said, "did a wonderful job of trying to make the county more accessible and inclusive to all."
Alum Rock board in a race to replace Green
Darcie Green hasn't yet resigned from the Alum Rock school board, but her colleagues are chomping at the bit to replace her.
At a hastily called special meeting Thursday, the board majority decided to announce the upcoming vacancy and call for applications. How quick were the four trustees moving? Well, when Green -- who has planned to step down Wednesday to take a seat on the Santa Clara County Board of Education -- walked into the 7:30 p.m. meeting five minutes late, the board already had decided on posting the vacancy.
"It's very odd, because I still haven't resigned," Green told us. The board majority also decided to appoint a replacement on Nov. 19.
Why the hurry? Some suggest that it might have to do with the fact that two key trustees, Esau Herrera and Dolores Marquez, are up for re-election Tuesday. Rushing the process for replacing Green allows them to choose her successor. Otherwise, leaving more time for candidates to apply could push the vote past early December (state law gives the board 60 days from a vacancy to fill it), when possibly a new board may be seated.
Of course, that's not the official rationale. Board members argued they wanted the appointee to be able to attend the California School Boards Association annual conference at the end of the month, which offers training for new trustees. And pushing back the appointment runs into the busy holiday season, they said, and a quick appointment would lend stability to the district.
Allow more democracy to intervene, and it can be so inconveniently unstable.
Constant, retired cop square off on disability
David Bacigalupi, a 32-year veteran San Jose police officer who retired in 2008, went before the City of San Jose Retirement Services Department Board of Administration last week to ask that his pension be granted disability status. That might have been unremarkable were he not also a member and former chairman of that board.
So there were questions about possible conflicts of interest from some in the room, including Councilman Pete Constant, a retired police officer himself who had opposed Bacigalupi's reappointment to the board back in 2008. Bacigalupi had initially denied Constant's disability pension back in 2000. And the councilman saw him as hostile toward granting them for young officers suffering career-ending injuries rather than older veterans citing an accumulation of hurts. Disability pensions come with a hefty tax break, which a city audit last year estimated at $16,500 a year for officers, and noted that San Jose has an unusually high rate of police and firefighter disability retirements.
Bacigalupi had already said he would recuse himself from voting on his disability request, and the board's lawyers said there were no legal conflicts for the rest of the board to consider it. But when that failed to ease all the questions, Bacigalupi, who had just one meeting left in his term, resigned on the spot.
"I regret deeply that it's come to this," said firefighter and Chairman Sean Kaldor, who had argued for Bacigalupi to remain on the board.
He and the other board members present -- retired fireman and Vice Chairman Richard Santos, police Officer James Mason, and public members Bettina Rounds and Drew Lanza -- then approved Bacigalupi's request without dissent, calling his case was well-documented.
Bacigalupi was on disability leave at the time of his retirement and cited a combination of injuries to his neck, back, knees, ankle, wrist and shoulder. The injuries, he said, stemmed from being rear-ended in his patrol car in 1988 and 2003, being hit by a patrol car in a parking lot in 1994, falling from a police motorcycle during a 1996 training and taking a violent suspect into custody in 2002.
"You get a little banged up but keep coming back," Bacigalupi told the board. "I love the job."
DA Rosen is clearly a fan of 'West Wing'
Die-hard fans of the TV show "The West Wing" beware: There is an impostor in your midst.
The County of Santa Clara Office of the District Attorney has borrowed the name of the clever show as the masthead for its quarterly staff newsletter.
We knew District Attorney Jeff Rosen ached to be the president of the United States when he was growing up. But is naming the in-house pub after that storied office really the next best thing?
Actually, the rationale for "The West Wing" is that the district attorney's office is in the west wing of the county building at 70 W. Hedding Street in San Jose, a place that's, shall we say, less elegant than 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. in Washington, D.C., or even the soundstage at Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank where the TV show was produced.
This quarter's edition sports a dramatic front-page story about the crime lab penned by none other than media liaison Sean Webby, once the Mercury News' top police reporter. On the serious side, there's also a heartbreaking interview with Deputy District Attorney Silvia Felix about her ongoing battle with breast cancer.
Internal Affairs is an offbeat look at state and local politics. This week's items were written by Tracy Seipel, Sharon Noguchi, John Woolfolk, Tracey Kaplan and Paul Rogers. Send tips to email@example.com, or call 408-975-9346.

Start Date: Apr 14, 2008
End Date: Apr 13, 2013
Monosomic (single chromosome deficient) oat plants needed to complete a full series of 21 lines each deficient for a different oat chromosome will be identified cytologically and with molecular markers among derivatives of oat x corn crosses. Molecular marker linkage groups will be assigned to chromosome using these monosomic lines to develop a comprehensive genomic map for cultivated oat. The QTL identification of race non-specific (partial) crown rust in oat germplasm MN841801-1 will be enhanced with additional field and molecular marker data including the use of new DArT markers, and the effectiveness of marker-assisted selection will be tested for efficiency and effectiveness in transfer of the resistance QTLs into other oat backgrounds. New oat crown rust resistance genes will be introgressed into cultivated oat from wild oat species. Previously produced oat lines containing segments of corn chromosomes will be further developed and evaluated for possible enhanced heat tolerance and disease resistance. Coordination of cooperative regional spring oat performance nurseries will be used to identify optimal current oat genotypes for use as parents in crosses for introgressions and germplasm enhancement.

Steamroller Pipes
Definitely not for beginners, steamroller pipes give you huge, powerful hits! Some have compared smoking from a steamroller pipe to taking a dry hit from a bong, without any water filtration to smooth and cool the smoke. Devotees cite its strong, harsh hit as part of its appeal.
Steamrollers pipes get their name based on their resemblance to the pipe on the wheel of a steamroller train. The shape is based on the calumet pipes traditionally used by Native Americans in ceremonial gatherings. This is the spot on GrassCity.com where you can buy a steamroller pipe to enjoy at your own gatherings! ... Read More

This guest post is by Autism Speaks Blog contributor Kerry Magro. Kerry, an adult who has autism, is a junior at Seton Hall University, majoring in Sports Management. He is currently working at Autism Speaks as a writer.
Hello all and welcome to Day 2 of Race Weekend! Saturday was a terrific day at Dover International Speedway. The day's events surrounded the Nationwide Series Race. I was on the run all day but got an opportunity to meet several members of the Dollar General Stores Toyota racing team. Many thanks to them for letting me see some of the behind the scenes sights of Race Weekend. Yesterday would not have been the same without your generosity. Now moving on to the races…
Driver Kyle Busch (Combos Toyota) left Friday's NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race upset that he let his lead slip away in the final few laps. Saturday, Kyle was prepared to not let the same mistake occur. When the race day was done, Busch (who didn't run out of fuel today after running out of gas in the Trucks Race) was victorious in the Heluva Good 200 Nationwide Series race (Saturday). Busch, who received a mix of boos and cheers all day from the race fans, shook the boos off as he took the checkered flag at the Monster Mile. Busch will now try to go for back to back wins as he races Sunday in the Autism Speaks 400 Sprint Cup Series Race.
The other big story from Saturday came from drivers Jamie McMurray (K'Nex Chevrolet) and Reed Sorenson (Dollar General Stores Toyota). Both these drivers and their teams have meant a lot to Autism Speaks in spreading awareness of autism. Both drivers performed admirably with Jamie McMurray finishing in 3rd after starting in pole position 27 and Reed Sorenson finishing in 4th after starting in 14th. Both have a lot to be proud of from finishing as strongly as they did.
We are now down to our final day (Sunday) of Race Weekend. We here at Autism Speaks are expectantly waiting for a thrilling finish (the Autism 400) to what has been an amazing weekend. We will keep you posted through the Autism Speaks Blog (along with Twitter) all day long todayand hope you enjoy what is to come!

My grandson has aspergers. He is afraid to ride his bike. His dad & stepmom have tried to force him to learn to ride & he is reluctant. He is afraid of falling & getting hurt. I feel it is not important to make him ride. He doesn't want to go to his dad's sometimes because they make him get out & ride. I don't know much about this condition & we all need some info on how to handle these situations.

My grandson refused to speak when he was little, about 2 years old. I babysat him for the first year and a half and tried to get him involved with games, toys, etc. But he didn't show any interest in any of them. I love playing on a computer and I noticed him wanting to try play on it. I showed him how to use a computer, he loved it and is still addicted. At 2 and half years of age he was better on the computer than most people. But he still refused to speak (he could read and did pick that up quickly from the computer). I walked him to the park (a block away) and to a dollar store after I gave him a dollar. We did this regularly if he felt like it. As we walked I was trying to get him to speak. I finally told him that he if didn't want to call me grandma, that he could pick out a name for me. Surprisingly he did and named me Max later that day, which he still calls me, after that he named everyone around him (Corn was one of this favorites). He was diagnosed with a slight case of autism when he started school at age five. He did not speak sentences very well and had a hard time putting sentences together. I told my daughter that she shouldn't worry about the diagnoses and that we would work with him, we just didn't want autism to be applied to his school record as we didn't want him to be treated differently than other children and we didn't want him to be "pigeon-holed". He was put in a class that handled other children with personality differences. He still acts out, but he now plays with other kids. He is one grade ahead in his language abilities.
I seen a special on T.V. about how autistic children respond to animals and I do agree with this as I did breed and still raise pit bulls. He handles them like a pro and still does. We have to watch him closely for when he acts out as there is always a reason why he is and it is up to us to figure it out as his reality is different that ours. It is up to us to teach him our reality patiently so he can understand us better. He has responded well (understanding us). I don't know if this would work for others, but we do understand the frustration that other parents go through, especially when they know that their child is very intelligent but unable to communicate to the loved ones around them. Keep up the good work and if no one has told you (parents) lately that you are doing a good job, well you are.

my grandson has not acted out with me but he has with his parents. His father reasons with him and now my daughter does it too. I hve found that by making his surroundings calm and safe for him, he does better. I'm just wondering if his stepmom is pressuring him to where he won't ride the bike ever. When he feels confident, I feel he will get on the bike & ride- but until that time punishing him by taking his DS away only adds to his frustration level. Am I wrong to speak up for him?

A civil rights group is bringing people together in unity for an injured teenager.
The Augusta chapter of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference is holding a vigil for 13-year-old Desire Northington, the girl injured last week on a fair ride.
The organization is uniting a community to prayer for Desire's recovery.
Nearly a week after 13-year-old Desire Northington was critically injured on the Orbiter fair ride.
She is showing signs of improvement.
Members from the SCLC of the CSRA realize it could have been one of their own.
"Just hearing about it...that could have been my daughter," said Minister Chris Tyler of the CSRA SCLC.
Family members say Desire is alert and responding by blinking her eyes.
They say it is a miracle she's come so far after being thrown 60 feet from the ride.
She was taken to the Children's Medical Center at MCG with massive head injuries.
"We just got to keep praying and hoping she has a recovery, a very good recovery," Tyler said.
And now organizers have t-shirts for the candlelight vigil and walk to show Desire's family they care.
"We are planning on praying for Desire, and when finished we are going to walk towards the fair and leave the candles near the fair," Tyler said.
The organization is calling on the Augusta community to come together for desire's recovery.
"It's not a black or white thing," Tyler said. "We are together as a community. It's for unity."
The candlelight vigil begins tonight at 8 o'clock in front of the law enforcement center. Those in attendance plan to walk a little over a block to the Georgia Carolina State Fair.
The SCLC is also looking into opening a trust assistance fund for Desire.
State inspectors say the ride, the Orbiter, was up to code. A report finalized yesterday found no fault with the ride or the ride operator.
The report says Desire panicked before falling from the ride.

Things will be quiet here for a week or so, and I'm not very good right now with answering emails, etc. We had a tragedy last night at the school where I work, and so most of my energy for the moment is going to my colleagues and students. We're getting through okay, but it's not easy, because we're a small, intimate community, and we lost a student suddenly and unpredictably, and there was nothing anybody could do.
My thoughts are also with the family and friends of Jamie Bishop and all the victims at Virginia Tech -- I don't know the Bishops, but have friends who do, and it makes the awful loss there even more immediate for me.
Words fail.

Perceived or actual victimization during childhood leads to all kinds of societal ills -- increased physical health costs (look for recent research), tragedies like the one at Va. Tech, and crime, as examples. We must do a better job at taking care of our kids and with early intervention, or we will pay later.ReplyDelete

PICC Takes Tight Grip on Mega-IPO
In a weak year for initial public offerings, bankers have welcomed the IPO of People's Insurance Co. (Group) of China Ltd. They say, though, that the insurer has taken an unusually firm grip on the sale, reducing banks' control of the process.
Until this year, investment banks in Asia made a large chunk of their revenue from underwriting IPOs in Hong Kong, the top venue for such deals in the three years through 2011. In 2012, though, sentiment toward new listings has soured because some deals have performed poorly.
Not counting the PICC deal, which could raise as much as US$3.6 billion, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange would rank fifth globally in terms of IPO volume. With the offering, it ranks third, behind the New York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq Stock Market.
Adding to the challenges for banks, PICC's share sale has been firmly in the hands of the company, rather than the many bankers on the deal. The transaction has 17 bookrunners—the underwriters charged with actually selling the deal—a record number.
Agricultural Bank of China's US$22.1 billion dual listing in Hong Kong and Shanghai in July 2010—the biggest by a Chinese company—had just seven bookrunners in its Hong Kong tranche.
A person close to PICC said the insurer works closely with professional parties and didn't have any more control over the IPO process than the norm.
The process of getting chosen to work on the PICC deal was unusual, bankers say. In the usual Hong Kong IPO, bankers are appointed to work on deals and then have to bring in so-called cornerstone investors—institutional buyers that commit to buy large chunks of stock, reassuring other investors that demand is solid. Such buyers are particularly critical in the current tough IPO environment.
Bankers in the PICC IPO process say they had to get cornerstone investors to commit first, before getting appointed to work on the deal. How much they brought in also determined their status—and potential fees—for the job.
Deutsche Bank lined up a US$300 million investment from State Grid Corp., the second-largest cornerstone investor in the PICC IPO after American International Group, which agreed to buy US$500 million, and formally won itself a global coordinator role at last, people with direct knowledge of the matter said.
The global coordinators in an IPO are the senior underwriters and are responsible for managing the overall transaction. They are also bookrunners, and get the highest fees in the process.
Deutsche Bank's entry brought to five the global coordinators on the PICC IPO. The others are Goldman Sachs Group Credit Suisse Group, China International Capital Corp Ltd., and HSBC Holdings According to bankers on the deal, the global coordinators didn't know their roles until the day before the order-taking process, the so-called roadshow, began Thursday.
PICC also kept its cards close to its chest in terms of how much each cornerstone buyer was committing to purchase, until order-taking actually began on Thursday last week, bankers said. Usually, such information is open to bankers well before order-taking begins.
PICC's strategy has reaped some benefits. Despite this year's listing drought, and after having to delay its IPO in June, PICC managed to pre-sell half the IPO to cornerstone investors. In total, it secured US$1.77 billion in cornerstone investments from 17 companies, among them State Grid AIG, French insurer Scor SE and China Life Insurance (Group) Co.
Bankers said there was already enough demand to cover the entire offering on the first day of order-taking last week. Order-taking ends this Thursday, while the listing is set for Dec. 7.
Bankers on the deal won't be as lucky as PICC appears to be. The IPO prospectus says that total fees paid to 17 banks will amount to 2.5% of the amount raised. That amounts to US$90 million if the stock sells at the top end of the price range. Each bank would get US$5.3 million if the money is divided evenly.
The October 2010 IPO of AIA Group Ltd., an insurer sold by AIG, was more lucrative. AIA paid the 11 bookrunners 1.75% of the $20.5 billion IPO as fees, which means each likely got around $32.6 million.

Employee Relations Policies
The University is committed to a fair and orderly resolution of work-related problems and has established policies and practices that support that commitment.
Supervisors are expected to use coaching, counseling and, if necessary, the Constructive Discipline Process to address performance problems and to consult with the appropriate Human Resources professionals for guidance.
Employees have available both informal means of resolving their concerns and formal grievance procedures. It is the University's policy that no employee may be discriminated against or adversely treated for initiating or participating in a grievance proceeding.
An Overview of the Constructive Discipline Process
When work performance problems cannot be resolved through informal coaching or counseling, the supervisor should use the formal Constructive Discipline Process.
Constructive Discipline is a formal process in which the supervisor takes progressively serious steps with the intent of changing an employee's behavior and bringing about the desired job performance. The basic steps are:
- Oral warning with a note to the supervisor's file for the employee
- Written warning
- Suspension without pay
- Termination of employment
The steps are usually taken in sequence until the problem is resolved or employment is terminated, though depending on the situation, steps may be repeated or skipped. For probationary employees, see Probationary Period. Constructive Discipline does not apply to serious misconduct warranting immediate termination or suspension. Examples of serious misconduct include theft or dishonesty, violence, or refusal to follow a legitimate work directive. Supervisors should review such serious cases with the Human Resources Officer or with the Office of Employee Relations before taking action.
Employee Complaints and Grievances
Often, the best way to resolve a problem is through direct conversation between the employee and supervisor. This can prevent small issues from growing into large misunderstandings or problems. The Office of Employee Relations can provide guidance to employees, supervisors, and Human Resources Officers on problem-solving approaches. The confidentiality of individual employees' concerns is maintained unless the involvement of others is necessary to resolve the problem (the Office of Employee Relations will advise the employee in advance if this is the case) or unless the problem is of a nature that, by law, others must be involved.
Formal Grievances
A grievance procedure is available to all full-time and part-time regular employees who have passed the probationary period. The grievance procedure for Administrators and Professionals is described in Problem-Solving and Grievances. Those employees covered by collective bargaining agreements have grievance procedures described in their union contract:
Non-Union Service Staff not covered by a collective bargaining agreement should contact the Office of Employee Relations.
Employee Relations can provide guidance on the grievance process. This includes an overview of the role of the supervisor, Human Resources Officer, employee, and union representative; direction regarding providing information to the union and responding to issues discussed during the grievance meeting.

Tuesday's letters: A motorcycle?
Published: Tuesday, October 22, 2013 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, October 21, 2013 at 5:36 p.m.
To the editor: When our grandchildren were visiting from Atlanta, we did some shopping at Laurel Park Village and then headed toward downtown on Sixth Avenue.
As we waited at the red light at the corner of Sixth and Main, 5-year-old Helene piped up from the back seat, Grammy, why is that motorcycle sitting up there?
Where? demanded 7-year-old Louis, who rarely misses anything with wings or wheels.
Right there! replied Helene, pointing toward the corner. Sitting up on that pile of rocks. Theres a brown tarp over it.
Oooh, cool! exclaimed Louis. Maybe its a Harley-Davidson! Grammy, can you please stop the car so I can climb up on the rocks and look under the tarp and see that motorcycle? Pleeeease!
Stifling my laughter, I explained to my darling grandchildren as gently as I could that the Harley-Davidson wasnt really a motorcycle at all but rather our citys $183,000 Mountain Memories fountain.
I challenge you! Next time youre at the corner of Sixth and Main, facing east, sitting in your car waiting for the traffic light to change, glance to your right. I bet youll see that same motorcycle sitting up there on the rocks, covered by a brown tarp!

Peace bell
To the editor: Listen and hear the plea of the Japanese peace bell ringing a wake-up call for every world citizen.
In Hiroshima, there were tens of thousands of charred bodies in nameless mass graves. NEVER AGAIN. There were large, flaming pyramids of the dead. NEVER AGAIN. The rivers were swamped, carrying the bodies of desperate fire-fleeing people out to sea. NEVER AGAIN. Thousands suffered either rapid or slow lingering deaths from radiation. NEVER AGAIN.
Japanese peace bells, first at the United Nations and now around the world, ring out for our resolve and action to abolish these instruments of worldwide uncontrollable death and destruction.
We pray for the public support and political insight to abolish these weapons through a legally binding international treaty, the Nuclear Weapons Convention. One hundred and 29 of 140 nations are ready to sign. Hear the bell. Never again!

EIA: U.S. Energy-Related Carbon Dioxide Emissions to Grow 8.7% by 2035
In the absence of new policies, the U.S. emissions of carbon dioxide from energy use will increase from 5,814 million metric tons in 2008 to 6,320 million metric tons in 2035, according to DOE's Energy Information Administration (EIA). That represents an average annual growth of 0.3% per year. Energy-related carbon dioxide emissions dominate overall U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, so the overall emissions are expected to follow the same trend. On the one hand, that's a slower growth rate than that of the past two decades, when U.S. greenhouse gases increased at an average annual rate of 0.7%. On the other hand, it falls fall short of President Obama's recent pledge to reduce greenhouse gases in the range of 17% below 2005 levels by 2020, which echoed climate legislation that passed the U.S. House of Representatives this year. A similar bill is under consideration in the U.S. Senate.
The EIA released the main conclusions of the reference case for its "Annual Energy Outlook 2010" on December 14, although the full report won't be available until March 2010. The reference case projects a lower long-term price for oil than the 2009 reference case, but petroleum demand remains essentially constant, as biofuels meet most of the growth in demand for liquid fuels. However, the report predicts that biofuels will fall short of the 36 billion gallons required by 2022 under the federal Renewable Fuel Standard. The report also expects flex-fuel vehicles and electrified vehicles to dominate the sales of cars and light trucks by 2035, helping to achieve an average light-duty fuel efficiency of 40 miles per gallon. The EIA expects these and other energy efficiency measures and structural changes in the U.S. economy to keep overall energy growth low, with energy consumption increasing by only 14% over the next 27 years.
The growth in electricity demand is also expected to be relatively low, averaging only 1% per year, with non-hydropower renewable energy and natural gas providing most of the new capacity additions over the next 27 years. Non-hydropower renewable sources are expected to meet 41% of the growth in total electricity production, causing the percentage of the nation's electricity produced from renewable energy (including hydropower) to increase from 9.1% in 2008 to 17% in 2035, taking market share away from coal power. Meanwhile, the U.S. production of natural gas from shale will cause domestic natural gas production to increase, keeping imports of liquefied natural gas at low levels. See the EIA press release and the early release of the "Annual Energy Outlook 2010."

First off so for the people who wonder why even bother. 2 reasons.
my rear projection tv's small def projector is gone. meaning no svideo.
secondly, this had been on my mind for a while, and i want to see it in action.
so last night i spent my time trying to set up vlc to stream desktop, but the issue here is, i want to use my xbox as a reciever via either tversity, orb, or my beloved ps3ms. the only one seeming more suited for the job is ps3ms. but i need a bit of help understanding how to run a stream on my pc, have ps3ms recognize it and stream it at 00:00 + never ending.
i was able to export streams to files, but no luck, it played as if it were a recorded video stopping after a couple secs.
now i know orb, use to be able to directly hook up to a webcam, but now its different, u can add a webcam stream (URL:1234/cam.cgi) probly our best bet right? well i couldn't find a fucking thing on how to stream in that format for orb, or even find something close enough to work.
so anyone who full understands running a vlc stream, and having your Xbox 360/ ps3 respond reply. or orb, and maybe even tversity. get back to me.
i have it hooked up to Ethernet for full performance. i understand the response time will be behind, however that's not really a problem though, just something to try out, maybe see what happens with games etc, try streaming, oh and regarding audio my pc is directly hooked up to my tv so audio is right out of the tv, or i have the option of streaming it aswell in vlc.

Big improvement from the night before, but yet another bunk non-Kuroda Phish experience. I had a lot of fun however, a friend of a friend got me into his box seats, meaning free food and BEER all show and easy piss access. I provided beers to my neighbors just outside the box, not an easy task with caterer/bartender/box security dude eyeballing me to make sure I didn't.
When Loving Cup came on it was ridiculous, the group who I'd provided beer to looked back at me with a big smile, too perfect. I was hammered so the song finally spoke to me which was good, cuz I wasn't the biggest fan of it prior (probably cuz I'd heard it too much).
I ate Nachos during Hood. Fun times.
