DANVILLE -- The Monte Vista High boys basketball team had already clinched a share of the East Bay Athletic League title, but Friday's 56-45 win over San Ramon Valley was about much more than Danville bragging rights.
The Mustangs did not want to share their championship with their fiercest rivals.
In front of a capacity crowd, host Monte Vista denied the Wolves a piece of the league crown while avenging their lone loss of the season in their EBAL finale.
"They got us at their place, and there was a lot of banter between the two schools," Monte Vista senior guard Trevor John said.
"This win means a ton. The emotions are amazing, and the atmosphere was awesome."
The league championship is Monte Vista's first since 2008.
San Ramon Valley (22-4, 11-3 EBAL) had won the first meeting between the two schools when Jerry Karczewski hit a buzzer-beating 3-pointer in overtime. But the rematch was less dramatic.
With hot shooting from John and strong inside play from Spencer Rust, Monte Vista (25-1, 13-1) went ahead 27-18 at halftime, and its lead was never seriously challenged after the break.
"I really think our guys came out focused and determined, and I liked the way we took control of the game," Monte Vista coach Nick Jones said. "I thought that was key."
Rust scored the Mustangs' first eight points of the third quarter, then John took over with 10 straight for his team to push the lead to 45-31 early in the fourth quarter.
John finished with 22 points, while Rust and Grant Jackson had 15 each. The senior trio was responsible for all the Mustangs scoring after halftime.
Karczewski and David Gunn had 11 each to lead San Ramon Valley.
With the win, Monte Vista is expected to earn the No. 1 seed in the North Coast Section Division I playoffs when brackets are revealed Sunday.
"We've been talking about this since we were freshmen that senior year was going to be special and we were going to be the best team in Northern California," John said. "I think we turned some heads this year."
Monte Vista 56, San Ramon Valley 45
San Ramon Valley (22-3, 11-3 EBAL)
Karczewski 2 6-6 11, Fagray 0 0-2 0, Smith 3 0-0 6, Fuca 1 0-2 2, Kapulica 1 0-0 2, Henderson 1 0-0 3, Ontiveros 1 0-0 2, Gunn 3 3-4 11, Polosky 3 2-4 8. Totals 15 11-18 45.

I have to choose "snap to grid" each time I want to draw or move something.
This choice is lost after the object's deselection (right click — I'm working with the mouse).
I read something on it in this forum (post "[SOLVED] Snap Options Question") but I don't understand it well. I tried the Main menu > Application preferences > Graphics view > Persistent selection but it seems to have no effect… Or I don't understand it.
By the way, I'm working on a dense drawing and it's difficult to move blocks keeping a large global view without the snap to grid option so :
I would like to activate "snap to grid" by default.
Is it possible ?
How can I do that ?

Armour Eckrich has benefitted from its participation in the City of St. James Bright Energy Solutions energy conservation programs excess of more than $10,000 in the past four years.
Most recently they added variable frequency drives (VFD's) and removed old T12 lighting and 400 Watt metal halides and replace it with more efficient T8 and fluorescent high bay fixtures resulting in a rebate of $5,470.
"Armour Eckrich is benefitting by using energy efficient equipment, thus reducing their electricity usage," said Joe McCabe, City Manager.
All industries and commercial businesses in St. James are encouraged to take advantage of the retro-fit lighting rebate of old T12 fluorescents to new more energy efficient T8 lighting system.
St. James along with Missouri River Energy Services offers a free lighting audit to any St. James business. It is encouraged to assess your needs in 2012 because T12 technology is going away and with that the rebate are also anticipated to be significantly reduced or eliminated at the end of 2013.
For more information contact St. James Utilities. Visit www.brightenergysolutions.com for all the energy efficient rebate programs offered by St. James Utilities.

Apple, Netflix Earnings – It's All About Ti-MING
If there's anything that illustrates what makes Wall Street tick, it's looking at the stock reaction to the earnings reports from Apple and Netflix
It's just a trading opportunity. It's just an inning in the game.
Apple earned $13.1 billion in the quarter and Netflix earned $8 million. One stock was up 34%, the other was down 10%. Care to take a guess as to which is which?
The reaction says much more about the Street than it does about either company. The key thing is expectations. Netflix was expected to lose money, and indeed the Street was clearly betting that it would do just that. When it posted that slim $8 million profit, the shorts got caught, and the stock rocketed higher.
Apple was expected to make money. But just making money, even near-record amounts of money, isn't enough for Apple. The boys from Cupertino have blown the Street away for so long, quarter after quarter after quarter of eye-popping, jaw-dropping earnings reports.
There's an old Steve Martin line where he says comedy is all about timing, but he puts an unusual emphasis on the second syllable. At least that's our hazy recollection of it. It's the same thing on the Street. Apple earned gobs of money, Netflix earned very little, but the hot-stock boys on the Street were positioned for very different things, and that's why you see the reaction you see in the stock market.
In the end, it's not about the earnings themselves. It's about a trading opportunity. It's about an inning in the game. It's about trying to figure out how the other guy on the Street is going to respond to the earnings, and to either get in or out ahead of him.

About the Book
The Lady and Her Monsters by Roseanne Motillo brings to life the fascinating times, startling science, and real-life horrors behind Mary Shelley's gothic masterpiece, Frankenstein.
Montillo recounts how—at the intersection of the Romantic Age and the Industrial Revolution—Shelley's Victor Frankenstein was inspired by actual scientists of the period: curious and daring iconoclasts who were obsessed with the inner workings of the human body and how it might be reanimated after death.
With true-life tales of grave robbers, ghoulish experiments, and the ultimate in macabre research—human reanimation—The Lady and Her Monsters is a brilliant exploration of the creation of Frankenstein, Mary Shelley's horror classic.
Exploring the frightful milieu in which Frankenstein was written, Roseanne Montillo recounts how Mary Shelley's Victor Frankenstein mirrored actual scientists of the period. Montillo paints a rich portrait of Shelley and her husband, Percy Bysshe Shelley, and their contemporaries, as well as their friend Lord Byron. Intellectually curious, they were artists, poets, and philosophers, united in captivation with the occultists and the daring scientists risking their reputations and their immortal souls to advance our understanding of human anatomy and medicine.
Juxtaposing monstrous mechanization and rising industrialism with the sublime beauty and decadence of the legendary Romantics who defined the age, Montillo takes us into a world where poets become legends in salons and boudoirs; where fame-hungry "doctors" conduct shocking performances for rabid, wide-eyed audiences; and where maniacal body snatchers secretly toil in castle dungeons.

Critical Praise
"Her narrative… rattles enjoyably through a lurid and restless landscape. … Equally a literary and a scientific endeavor." — Wall Street Journal
"Montillo achieves a freshness through her lively narrative approach and a fascination with long-ago science and its ethics that sparks across the pages." — New York Times Book Review
"Enthusiatic prose... A Spirited investigation of the bizarre times that inspired Mary Shelley's Frankenstein." — Shelf Awareness (Starred Review)
"A delicious and enticing journey into the origins of a masterpiece." — Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"With a flair for both drama and detail, Montillo breathes her own kind of life into the story of the men determined to discover its very elements." — Discover Magazine
"Spills the dirt on the making of the 19th-century novel--affairs, family drama, a lake house with Lord Byron!--and paints a grimly fascinating picture of the dissections and experiments in "animal electricity" that inspired the gothic tale." — Mental Floss
"Montillo's book is a welcome tribute to the literary, and especially the scientific, roots of the story." — The Commercial Dispatch
"A welcome tribute to the literary, and especially the scientific, roots of the story." — The Lady and Her Monsters

Every week, hundreds of Coloradoans and Texans are getting sick with the flu, even though some may have gotten a flu shot.
According to Sparrow family practitioner Dr Randy Pearson, the CDC tries to predict the common strains of the flu and assist in the formation of the vaccine. But it's likely that this year's vaccine does not protect against the Fujian strain, which is what seems to be the strain making people sick.
Still, health officials recommend the vaccine because even if you get the flu, your symptoms won't be as severe and the illness shouldn't be around for long.
The Dept. of Community Health also says it's difficult to predict how bad the flu will hit Michigan, since it's fairly early in the season. There is one confirmed case in Traverse City, and many others are being tested.

RIM Rally Ain't Over: Shares Jump After Earnings
UPDATE, 6:10 p.m. Eastern Time: Looks like we spoke too soon. RIM shares have given up after-hours gains and are now trading lower as concerns about revenue from the company's service fees have intensified. More details follow our original take.
Research In Motion shares are getting a boost in late trading after the BlackBerry maker's quarterly results largely exceeded analysts' expectations.
RIM swung back to profitability after several quarters of losses, and boosted its cash position ahead of its BlackBerry 10 launch, which is expected to reinvigorate the company as it battles against the likes of Apple Microsoft and Google, among others, in the crowded smartphone market.
The company also reported 150 carriers are testing new BB10 phones, which is triple the amount that were testing it at the end of October.
Shares jumped 8.4% to $15.31 in after-hours trading, tacking on to Thursday's 3.6% gain. The stock has more than doubled in the last three months amid growing expectations ahead of BB10.
Our friends at Digits offer five takeaways from RIM's earnings:
- Subscribers are down. The BlackBerry subscriber count fell to 79 million from 80 million at the end of the second quarter. This is a key metric for RIM — it showed surprise growth in the previous three-month period, adding two million subscribers, but the trend didn't continue ahead of the BlackBerry launch.
- RIM is stocking up on cash for the BlackBerry 10 launch. RIM's cash position at the time totaled $2.3 billion. It's now $2.9 billion after adding $600 million this quarter.
- RIM is still shipping PlayBooks. The company shipped 255,000 tablets in the third quarter. That's kind of a surprise given the bevy of other tablets on the market and the initial reception of the BlackBerry PlayBook.
- The company is losing an executive. RIM's chief information officer, Robin Bienfai, announced she would retire.
- The impending BlackBerry 10 launch date may cause some pressure on BlackBerry 7 sales. This is pretty typical in the tech world, as rumor mills can cause consumers to wait until the next generation of a device comes out. "The timing of the BlackBerry 10 launch event for January 30, 2013 could also impact sales of current BlackBerry 7 products as some customers may defer purchasing decisions and wait for BlackBerry 10 devices," the company said in its release.
Stay tuned to Digits. They'll be live blogging the conference call.
UPDATE: RIM shares have given up after-hours gains and are now trading lower. as concerns about revenue from the company's service fees have intensified. More details follow our original take. Our colleague Ben Dummett has the details:
Research In Motion CEO Thorsten Heins says the company has shown BB10 to 120 carriers across all continents and feedback around the user interface has been very positive. That may be, but investors are growing increasingly bearish as conference call comes to an end because of concerns about planned changes by RIM to the service fee model for BB10 launch may allow customers to reduce the amount they pay RIM.
The stock recently fell 11% to $12.58 in after-hours trading.

Green tree python
Despite their name, green tree pythons can sport a variety of colors. Adults are generally bright green with flecks of white, yellow, black, or other colors along their backs. Juveniles are almost never green, instead adopting vibrant shades of yellow and red.
Green tree pythons are one of the smallest pythons reaching only about five or six feet in length.
As a nocturnal snake, the green tree python catches its prey at night. It uses infrared heat sensors on its lips to track warm-blooded prey in the dark. The green tree python feeds on insects, other snakes, lizards, frogs, birds, bats, and occasionally small rodents.
Breeding season for the green tree pythons begins in late August and lasts until December. Eggs can be laid from November to February. Hatchlings will emerge after an incubation of anywhere from 39 to 65 days.
Range: New Guinea, northeastern Australia
Habitat: rainforests

The only effective treatment for cataracts is surgery.
Talk with your eye doctor about whether surgery is right for you. Most eye doctors suggest considering cataract surgery when your cataracts begin to affect your quality of life or interfere with your ability to perform normal daily activities, such as reading or driving at night.
It's up to you and your doctor to decide when cataract surgery is right for you. For most people, there is no rush to remove cataracts because they usually don't harm the eye.
Delaying the procedure won't make it more likely that you won't recover your vision if you later decide to have cataract surgery. Take time to consider the benefits and risks of cataract surgery with your doctor.
If you choose not to undergo cataract surgery now, your eye doctor may recommend periodic follow-up exams to see if your cataracts are progressing. How often you'll see your eye doctor depends on your situation.
Cataract surgery involves removing the clouded lens and replacing it with a clear artificial lens. The artificial lens, called an intraocular lens, is positioned in the same place as your natural lens, and it remains a permanent part of your eye.
For some people, other eye problems prohibit the use of an artificial lens. In these situations, once the cataract is removed, vision may be corrected with eyeglasses or contact lenses.
Cataract surgery is generally done on an outpatient basis, which means you won't need to stay in a hospital after the surgery.
During cataract surgery, your eye doctor uses local anesthesia to numb the area around your eye, but you usually stay awake during the procedure.
Cataract surgery is generally safe, but it carries a risk of infection and bleeding. Cataract surgery increases the risk of retinal detachment.
After the procedure, you'll have some discomfort for a few days. You generally will be healed within eight weeks.
If you need cataract surgery in both eyes, your doctor will schedule surgery to remove the cataract in the second eye a month or two after the first surgery.

on October 21, 2012 - 11:59 PM
Every Sunday for nearly eight seasons, Bill Polian strolled down the Buffalo Bills' tunnel alongside Marv Levy. The duo enjoyed one more walk down memory lane Sunday, a journey that brought them to midfield to watch Polian's name go on the Wall of Fame.
The Bills honored the former general manager who put together their Super Bowl teams, with Polian becoming the 28th honoree on the walls of Ralph Wilson Stadium.
"This is right at the top," he said before the Bills' 35-34 loss to Tennessee. "You learn as you go through a long career that the accolades and the trophies and even the rings don't mean much. In the end what you're left with are the experiences, the friendships and the memories, and I wouldn't trade my time here for anything in the world."
Polian stepped in as GM in 1986 following back-to-back 2-14 seasons. He put Levy, quarterback Jim Kelly, running back Thurman Thomas and defensive end Bruce Smith in position to reach four straight Super Bowls and the Hall of Fame. Those three joined Andre Reed, Steve Christie, Ruben Brown and Leonard Smith for the halftime ceremony.
"I'm on their shoulders," Polian said. "They're the people that put me there."
The Bills fired Polian in 1993 following their third straight Super Bowl loss, but he insists there's never been an awkward moment in Western New York.
"We come back quite often for Jim's golf tournament and for family events and weddings and too often for funerals, and it never fails," Polian said. "People that I haven't met before, because there are no strangers in Western New York, will come up and say welcome home. That feeling has never left us."
Polian spoke in front of a room full of family. Nearly two dozen accompanied him for the honor, including son Dennis Polian, a special assistant to Tennessee head coach Mike Munchak.
Polian's wife, Eileen, quickly shook her head no when the topic of a new job came up. After his stint with the Bills, which featured the first two of his six NFL Executive of the Year awards, Polian enjoyed success with Carolina and Indianapolis. The Colts fired him following last season and he landed a job with ESPN.
"I enjoy what I'm doing with ESPN very much," he said. "It's given me an opportunity to stay involved and work in a business obviously I love and care about, and it's given us an opportunity to spend more time with these [grandchildren] and watch peewee soccer and football and all the things that we didn't do for 35 years. Our life right now is terrific."
There couldn't have been a better time for George Wilson to record his first interception of the season. Matt Hasselbeck's pass found the hands of the Bills' safety near the goal line with just 1:51 to play. A pick could have ended the Titans' hopes and given the Bills a 34-28 victory.
Instead, the ball bounced off Wilson's hands and onto the turf. Two plays later, Hasselbeck connected with Nate Washington for the winning touchdown.
"I personally feel like it's on me," Wilson said. "I had an opportunity to get an interception, and I didn't come up with the ball, which would have sealed the victory. It wouldn't have allowed them a fourth down. It wouldn't have put our offense back on the field having to get points to win the game.
"Those are the plays we need to make in order to be a good football team. I didn't make that play."
The Bills' offensive line continued its run of injuries. Starting right guard Chad Rinehart suffered a left ankle injury during the third quarter and had to be carted off the field. He was engaged with Titans defensive tackle Jurrell Casey on a running play when another Tennessee player landed on his leg.
Bills coach Chan Gailey had no update on Rinehart following the game.
Third-stringer Sam Young replaced Rinehart, who was already subbing for normal starter Kraig Urbik (ankle). Left tackle Cordy Glenn (ankle) was also out.
Punters weren't needed much in the high-scoring game, but they were noticed when they hit the field.
Tennessee's Brett Kern is from Grand Island. The 26-year-old punted three times and averaged 41.3 yards per kick with a 34.7-yard net. He had a 57-yarder that rolled into the end zone and put his other two inside the 20.
Bills punter Shawn Powell continued to kick himself into the fans' bad graces. His only punt came with 5:40 to go while the Bills held a six-point lead, and he shanked it. His 22-yarder went out of bounds at the Bills' 46-yard line, giving Tennessee ideal position for a potential winning drive.
The Bills stopped the Titans on downs.
Powell, who replaced Brian Moorman late last month, shanked a 30-yarder in the final minute of regulation against Arizona in the last game to put the Cardinals in position for a winning field-goal attempt that was blocked.
Wide receiver Stevie Johnson moved into 10th place on the Bills' all-time list by catching his 23rd touchdown pass, a 27-yarder late in the third quarter. It was the 21st time Johnson combined with Ryan Fitzpatrick for a score, making them just the fifth Bills duo to have more than 20. … The Bills' inactive list included kickoff specialist John Potter. Only two of Rian Lindell's six kickoffs reached the end zone, with one going for a touchback. The Titans averaged 23.2 yards on their returns. … Defensive end Shawne Merriman made his season debut. He didn't record a stat in limited action. … The Bills' other inactives were quarterback Tarvaris Jackson, defensive end Mark Anderson, linebacker Kirk Morrison, safety Delano Howell, Urbik and Glenn.

It's Time for New York to Pass Autism Insurance Reform
This is a guest post by Lorri Unumb, Autism Speaks senior policy advisor and counsel. Lorri also teaches "Autism and the Law" at the George Washington University Law School.
In the past three years, 20 states have passed laws requiring health insurance policies to cover individuals with autism and the treatments prescribed by doctors for autism. The New York legislature is on the verge of passing one of the broadest autism insurance reform bills in the nation, and yet some members of the autism community oppose the bill, largely because of its broadness. I write to offer some historical and legal perspective on a bill that embraces a broad approach to legislating.
I have been following New York's autism legislation with great interest, not only because of my job as policy advisor with Autism Speaks but also because my son with severe autism has health insurance that is governed by New York law. I have a vested personal and professional interest in the legislation.
Further, I have a somewhat unique historical perspective, given my role in helping to spur the national movement toward autism insurance reform. In 2005, while I was a law professor, I wrote legislation in South Carolina to require health insurance coverage for autism. The bill broadly required that:
A health insurance plan as defined in this section must provide coverage for the treatment of autism spectrum disorder. Coverage provided under this section is limited to treatment that is prescribed by the insured's treating medical doctor in accordance with a treatment plan.
The bill did not list the particular treatments that insurance must cover; rather, it required insurers to cover whatever the doctor prescribes, within reason. It contained language that protected the insurers from having to pay for treatments that were unnecessary, not evidence-based, provided by family members, and the like:
[T]he coverage required . . . may be subject to other general exclusions and limitations of the health insurance plan, including, but not limited to, coordination of benefits, participating provider requirements, restrictions on services provided by family or household members, utilization review of health care services including review of medical necessity, case management, and other managed care provisions.
This legislation passed in South Carolina in 2007, and since that time, children with autism have been receiving meaningful coverage for mainstream treatments prescribed by their doctors, including psychological care, speech therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, and the most commonly-prescribed treatment for autism, applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy.
The South Carolina law is very similar to Indiana's autism insurance statute, and individuals with autism in Indiana have likewise been receiving coverage under that state's broadly written bill.
Since 2007, a number of states have passed autism insurance bills that do not embrace the broad approach; instead, they laundry-list the treatments that must be covered. A typical list from these states includes psychological care, psychiatric care, therapeutic care (OT, PT, ST), pharmacological care, and behavioral therapy (ABA). Also, most bills that have passed since 2007 contain significant limitations of coverage, such as a cap that limits spending on ABA therapy to $50,000 per year or an age cap that requires coverage only through age 21.
In 2009, there were pending in the New York legislature four different autism insurance bills, three of which contained a laundry-list of treatments to be covered. The lists varied considerably, and members of the autism community could not agree on how expansive the list should be. The bills also contained various age and dollar caps on coverage.
In October 2009, the Senate Insurance Committee conducted a hearing on all of the pending autism bills. The all-day hearing included testimony from dozens of witnesses and was extremely comprehensive.
After hearing testimony on the competing bills, the committee chair decided to craft his own bill, which returned to the broad approach of merely legislating coverage and leaving for another body (a regulatory body) the exact specifics of the coverage.
As a parent and a lawyer, I support this approach.
By necessity, legislators are generalists and should not be called upon to list the treatment options from which doctors may choose, or to weigh the evidence supporting one medical treatment against the evidence supporting another. It's not their job. In the context of insurance legislation, their job is to broadly require coverage if they find coverage lacking and within the public interest.
Critics of this bill don't like the broad approach. They want the certainty of a legislative laundry-list, as has been provided in numerous other states. However, critics fail to acknowledge that the New York autism community itself could not agree on the list and such disagreement is what led to the broad bill in the first place. I have worked with the autism community in almost all of the states that produced laundry-list-type bills and statutes, and never was there dissension within the community that would have required the legislature to choose among various lists.
Critics lodge several other complaints, too.
First, critics don't like that the bill limits the insurers' responsibility to covering treatments that are "evidence-based, peer-reviewed and clinically proven." Critics say this tripartite standard creates an impossibly high threshold that no treatments will meet.
It is not uncommon for states to limit insurers' responsibility to covering treatments that are "evidence-based," which I believe is an appropriate limitation. Generally, premium-payers expect insurers to cover mainstream treatments but do not expect insurers to cover treatments that have not been empirically validated.
The issue in the New York bill is the addition of the terms "peer-reviewed" and "clinically proven." The addition of these terms does not create a higher standard. To be "evidence-based," a treatment must have been studied and those studies must be have been published in peer-reviewed journals. Thus, "evidence-based" subsumes "peer-reviewed."
Similarly, "clinically proven" simply reinforces the concept of "evidence-based" treatment but does not set a higher standard of review.
Critics of the bill have yet to name a single autism treatment that would satisfy the traditional standard of "evidence-based" but would not satisfy the tripartite standard.
It seems that what the bill's opponents really want is coverage for treatments that are not evidence-based. Certainly, there are many protocols that parents of children with autism try on their children that are lacking sufficient evidence of efficacy. I have used some of them with my own son, and I don't question the intentions of other parents who do so. But I understand that insurers must draw the line somewhere, and "evidence-based" is where the line is traditionally drawn in health insurance.
The overall success of the autism insurance reform movement over the last three years stems largely from the fact that the autism community has not sought special treatment in insurance matters; we have sought equal treatment. All we have asked is that the mainstream treatments that our doctors prescribe for our medical condition be covered by insurance. To have continued success, we must be willing to limit the treatments for which we seek coverage to those that are evidence-based.
Opponents of the autism bill also criticize "the establishment of a four agency committee . . . to pick out whatever 'science' they believe in." Actually, the bill does not establish a four-agency committee. It simply directs the Commissioner of Health to promulgate regulations (a standard practice following new legislation) and directs the Commissioner to consult with three other relevant agencies in the process. In a field where families and services often suffer because one agency never knows what another agency is doing, it is refreshing to see a collaborative process established from the outset.
Further, I am puzzled by the fear of having the Department of Health determine what treatments must be covered. The opponents wish to have a legislative body (generalists) determine a list of treatments that must be covered, but they fear a regulatory body (health specialists) doing the same?
Finally, opponents of the bill apparently fear losing coverage that currently exists under their health insurance policies or failing to obtain coverage for services like anesthesiological and endocrinological care. S.7000B/A.10372A specifies that it "shall not be construed as limiting the benefits that are otherwise available to an individual under the policy." As such, if anesthesia is generally covered under a policy, it will still be covered without regard to the list of treatments that the Commissioner of Health develops.
Proponents of S.7000B/A.10372A, who are also parents of children with autism, do not wish to limit the treatments that any family affected by autism wishes to use with their children. Nor do we wish to narrowly restrict what doctors may prescribe for their patients. Rather, we wish to support a bill that is likely to pass – a bill with reasonable limitations that are fair to all parties. Proponents see advantages to broadly-written bills like S.7000B/A.10372A, even for those wishing to include treatments outside the mainstream. For instance, if new treatments emerge, or existing treatments go through the rigors of becoming evidence-based, these can be added through the regulatory process to the list of treatments that must be covered without the need for going back to the legislature to amend the law.
The New York autism bill is good policy. It covers individuals with autism of all ages. It does not impose artificial dollar caps on treatments, as many other states' autism laws do. It asks the legislative and regulatory systems to operate together, as they were designed to do. And it will offer much-needed relief to individuals with autism and their families, as citizens in 21 other states are now receiving.
June 18, 2010 at 5:42 pm
Does anyone know whether this bill would expand the definition of permitted provider to include SEITS? Even if my health insurer is told that it must pay for ABA therapy for my autistic son, they will say the ABA therapy will only be covered if it is provided by a permitted provider (doctor, psychologist, social worker i.e., the people who generally do not provide ABA therapy as part of their practice). The result is that, as a practical matter, families will not be able to find a Permitted Provider and therefore, not be able to make a claim for reimbursement for ABA therapy. Please let me know how this is addressed.
June 18, 2010 at 9:32 pm
i love this topic – you have done a great job bringing this to the forefront. I teach a class about autism and basic sensory needs, and am now reminded that I need to offer it the the public to assist in these things
June 19, 2010 at 11:06 am
Amen Lori- I feel your pain. Thanks for an informative article that points out some of the issues surrounding the inability to get meaningfull autism insurance reform accomplished. Unfortunately your
dodging the bigger issue that Autism Speaks continues to dodge around out of the fear of ofending significant segments of their support. A win/win means finding a common agenda in which a consensus opinion
has been reached and then moving forward to accomplish that agenda. AS continues to court the louder more energized segment of the advocacy in order to extract resources even when that segments aims defeat the
agenda. I am largely dismayed at the counter productive, selfish, aims of these folks. If you want to feed your kid diocyl doorknob because the "Anihilate Autism Now Witchdoctor" says it wil make your kid president of the usa -go for it.
But please stop blocking progess toward getting the rest of our children the help they need. The common agenda is helping people with autism. There is no room for manipulated masses who so easily get it when somebody tells them big pharma
and the chemical industry caused autism but cannot figure out that they are being manipulated by some green, organic, snake oil salesman who sees the truth ruining his "practice".
Moreover- AS needs to stop the "niche" marketing strategy- it adds to the divisiveness. Stop supporting the ideals of politicos who "at the eleventh hour" remove meaningfull reform for autism insurance from a "historical" health care reform bill.
Stop nibling around the corners of the plate and throw the heater down the middle- 56% of workers get their health care from ERISa plans-plans that pay nothing for Services for Autism. They own the market. Stop thinking like a lawyer and a marketer and start thinking like an economist. Juke left and Juke right?
An effective punt returner knows its north and south.

So how do we keep school districts from trying to push their educational responsability to the insurance companies for ABA? Some people are getting very good services (quantity and quality) from school districts, and we have a seat at the table in making decisions (CSE). My experience with medical insurance has been very different, with caps on what therapists/aids are paid per hour, etc. ABA/occupational/physical therapies straddle both educational and medical worlds and I see this law as a way for schools to cut and run. Also, with regard to evidence based studies, we are not talking about a pill or injection. So big pharma may not be interested. These studies are expensive and take years to complete. That standard needs more detail. People with terminal cancers still are given chemotherapy which is covered by insurance, despite low single digit survival rates for cancers like pancreatic. Many policies cover abortion, what exactly is the evidence based data there? The evidence should be that some portion, even a small portion of the Autism population benefited, and the benefit was recorded by a medical professional. The scientific community is now starting to look at Autism as "autisms", sort of like cancer. There may be many types, and many causes. Perhaps in the Bill, the state should fund the evidence based studies they demand when there are petitions of some minimum number, otherwise the result of this bill, is just a nother bill for services for us desperate parents.
June 19, 2010 at 4:31 pm
Excellent post Lorri. You need to come back and help Vermont in understanding that it is not just an early intervention bill. All ages will be helped and supported. It's the fair bill. Thank you for your post. It's being sent far and wide! ~ ANNE
June 19, 2010 at 10:23 pm
Wow-excellent posts! I take it back- there are more than the manipulated masses out there! Neil-let me add my favoite to your list of "evidence based" -my companies Erisa plan pays for Viagra. What a world-nothing for autism- but if you cant….. Talk about misappropriated priorities.
June 20, 2010 at 12:09 pm
I really have been enjoying these posts!
*Help needed!!! I am undergoing a masters degree in Interactive Media at the University of London, London College of Communications. My dissertation topic is within the field of Autism & Computing.
I have an online questionnaire that needs to be completed as a part of my research. I would be most grateful if you could forward this email or the link below to anyone you know who is a parent, guardian, or caregiver of a child or adolescent/young adult with autism. The responses will help understand the current behaviors and methods used for learning and interacting among these individuals.
This questionnaire should take no more than 10-12 minutes to complete. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
June 27, 2010 at 10:39 pm
So can anyone explain to me why medical insurance should pay for therapies for autism but not for all of the other equally tragic developmental disabilities? What am I missing here? How is it fair and constitutional to tell all the individuals whose children have chromosomal disorders, brain damage, mental retardation. etc. to just "make do" with whatever's offered by their school district and county board of MR/DD, while using health insurance dollars to offer speech and occupational therapy, in-home ABA tutors (and probably horsey rides and swim sessions too, when 'ordered' by a doctor)? Don't get me wrong…autism is a devastating disability (I know, I have two children on the spectrum), and I absolutely know first-hand how underfunded services are. But it is a DEVELOPMENTAL disability and as such, these services fall under the domain of special education and DD boards, not medical insurance. For all of you fighting for this sweeping autism insurance reform, stop for a moment and put yourself in the shoes of a parent of a child with, say, Down Syndrome. How would you feel if your son or daughter's badly needed speech services were not covered, but your neighbor's kid with, say, mild high-functioning autism, had broad coverage for his therapies? Can you see the inequity?
August 22, 2010 at 5:18 pm
While I understand your frustration, I feel it is somewhat unwarranted. In every thing that I've read about this issue, I've never seen anything that says, or even alludes to, the fact that other children with disabilities should be neglected for those with autism. Autism Speaks is just that – a group which was developed to focus on issues and legislation related to autism. There are all different groups that focus on all different things. There probably are groups that deal with the other issues you mentioned, just as there are organizations that deal with cancer, AIDS, heart disease, etc. If they don't exist, have you attempted to start your own?
August 12, 2010 at 2:26 pm
Hello, just one question i want to know that medical insurance its really nice and valuable information thank you for sharing this.
October 15, 2010 at 9:18 pm
hi its nice info sir …..i like it
February 19, 2011 at 12:50 am
My 18 year old son is autistic . He is covered under my health insurance as part of my family. he is currently at a residential school undergoing mostly "life training".
Is he still covered under the family plan ? he is not in a real school anymore and is over 18

Behold, The Return Of The Datsun
The Datsun is back! Nissan storied brand was killed off in the 1980s, but last year the company first began speaking of its return as a low-cost option for emerging markets. And today, we get our first look at the the sub-$7,000 Datsun Go, which will go on sale in India, Indonesia, Russia and South Africa next year.
Here she is, at a launch event today in Gurgaon, India:
The details, from the WSJ's Santanu Choudhury:
The car will cost less than 400,000 rupees ($6,680), said Carlos Ghosn, Nissan's chief executive. The GO is a five-door hatchback with a manual transmission, and is powered by a 1.2-liter engine. The car is less than four meters long, which means it qualifies for a lower 12% excise tax in India.
Nissan is going all-in with its emerging markets strategy for the new Datsun. Here's how the company describes what the new Datsun brand is all about on its new website:
The return of Datsun didn't start with what cars to launch, but with the people, the Risers. Young Risers in high-growth markets who are ahead of the curve. Waiting for that one chance that will propel his career and future. For the young risers, mobility is both physical and social access to opportunities. They deserve nothing but a brand of their own. An investment to the brand they can love and need. That's why Datsun is returning and rising for the risers. To be the badge of the risers.

After days of solemn debate, both the House and Senate passed and sent to the White House a resolution authorizing the president to use military force, if necessary, to compel Iraq to get rid of its biological and chemical weapons and disband its nuclear weapons program.
"The Congress has spoken clearly to the international community and the United Nation Security Council," Bush said Friday in a statement. "Saddam Hussein and his outlaw regime pose a grave threat to the region, the world and the United States. Inaction is not an option, disarmament is a must."
It was a major national security policy victory for Bush, and it occurred less than a month before midterm elections that will decide control of the House and Senate.
The House approved the resolution by a strong 296-133 margin Thursday. The Senate vote, coming early Friday, was 77-23.

- Golden State Warriors beat Denver Nuggets, win series in 6 games
- Poole: For Warriors, Curry was great, Bogut was the savior
- Golden State Warriors notebook: Crowd goes crazy for David Lee
- Golden State Warriors shocker: David Lee active for Game 6
After 25 years as "the old women in the rafters," Golden State Warriors fans Rosemarie Chonzena and Marian Ours finally moved up in the world.
By moving down.
Best friends Chonzena and Ours -- both 76 ("as old as the Golden Gate Bridge," Chonzena says) -- have been steady Warriors season ticket holders since 1988, always renewing their seats at the very last tippy-top row waaaay the heck up there in Section 208 at Oracle Arena, where Sherpas provide assistance instead of ushers and there is long-standing lore about oxygen masks dropping from the ceiling.
So it was a big thrill at a big game Thursday night -- the Warriors' playoff series-clinching 92-88 win over the Denver Nuggets -- when the team treated the retired math teachers who live in the same retirement complex in Vacaville to a much better view, moving them down to the 27th row of the lower bowl in Section 124. Just for the night.
"We were certainly excited that they did this for us," Ours said. "They called Rosemarie, and then she called me and left me two messages. We couldn't wait!"
The two usually sit, well -- "see that Oracle ad up there?" Ours said, squinting into the distance and pointing to the roof. "We sit on the right of it in the last row. You don't have a good view of the scoreboard because of the way it's tilted, but we don't mind."
"And when the crowd roars, you can't hear one whistle or announcement," Chonzena added, raising her voice over intense booing-then-cheering as something bad-then-good happened on the court. "It's like watching TV with the mute button on. But we don't mind."
Warriors communications director Lisa Goodwin said the team likes to reward its dedicated fans whenever possible. "So we thought it would be fun to move the ladies down to the lower bowl for tonight's game -- closer to the action," she said.
And they got plenty of that. It was one of the most nail-biting finishes ever, and a collective roar of relief rose up as the golden confetti finally dropped in a snowstorm of sunshine on the nearly 20,000 fans. The win means the Warriors advance to the next round of the NBA playoffs, taking on the San Antonio Spurs.
Chonzena had been twirling her rally towel above her head in helicopter fashion all night -- so fast, it was possible she might have become airborne.
While Chonzena is a little more boisterous than the soft-spoken Ours, these two are not your typical crazed sports fans. Former math teachers are a little more logical. Oh, they have their Bobblehead collections and pennants and signed photos, but they shun superstitions and pre-game rituals. They don't go out into the concourse at halftime for food or beverages. "We have dinner on the drive down," Chonzena said. At the same restaurant each time? "No," she said. "Usually some place we have coupons for."
Both women are originally from the East -- Ours is from West Virginia, and Chonzena from Ohio. They've always loved sports (when it comes to baseball and football, they're -- shhh -- Pittsburgh fans), and they got hooked on the Warriors while teaching at Walters Junior High in Fremont, which is, coincidentally, "The Home of the Warriors." Different Warriors, though. Shorter.
Since then, they've been through the ups and downs -- mostly downs, until now -- with the team. They've seen every iteration and the eventual disappearance of Thunder the mascot. They loved the Weekend Warriors, the big tubby guys who used to shake what their mamas gave 'em during timeouts.
And through it all, they've lived the high life up in Section 208. They'll return to their old seats for the second round, and -- they hope -- on to the conference finals.
"We love it up there," Chonzena said. "We have so many wonderful friends in that section. We're known as 'the old women in the last row.' We don't want to change that now."

5 Steps to Green Your Outdoor Décor
Spring is finally here! Temperatures are rising, birds are singing, flowers are blooming, and you're … still inside?
If a lackluster lawn, patio or garden is what's keeping you from enjoying the great outdoors, then maybe it's time to give your backyard a makeover.
But it wouldn't do to enjoy Mother Nature's spring showcase while polluting her planet. Unfortunately, a lot of outdoor décor comes with an eco price tag: patio sets made from virgin wood, outdoor lighting that sucks up electricity — even bug repellant made from toxic chemicals that can leach into water systems (not to mention your skin!).
Luckily, there are plenty of eco-friendly outdoor options that are easy on the planet. Take these five steps to green your outdoor décor and you'll be ready for backyard parties, mornings spent digging in the garden, or just a lazy day of reading on the deck.
1. Get grounded
Keep the outdoors outside with all-weather rugs that reduce the amount of dirt you'll track back into your home after a romp in the yard. They also do wonders to spruce up practical but decidedly un-pretty concrete patios. Our new Reversible Outdoor Rugs (pictured at right) come in a plethora of patterns and colors and are hand-woven from recycled plastic. Or check out our Turkish Pattern Reversible All-Weather Floor Mat, hand-crafted by fair-trade artisans from recycled plastic soda bottles. Have kids? They'll love our Flip-Flop Doormats made from recycled scrap material from the rubber flip-flop manufacturing process.
2. Lighten up
Add whimsical ambiance to outdoor entertaining with our Solar Shoji Lanterns (right). These Japanese-inspired, solar-powered LED lights hang from any trellis or tree and automatically switch on at night. Looking for a little romance? The LED JOI Lantern is powered by a simple tealight candle using eco-conscious thermoelectric technology, providing the perfect glow for an outdoor table for two.
3. Set the scene
Make your outdoor living space irresistible with elegant seating and décor. Relax with a glass of organic vino in one of our Wine Barrel Chairs (sold in pairs or individually). Handcrafted from salvaged white oak wine barrels discarded from California wineries, each chair is individually marked with the winery brand under the seat. Need outdoor storage? Our eco-friendly Recycled Tire Tubs (right) are inspired by Middle Eastern leather baskets, but created from reclaimed rubber tires!
4. Garden with grace
Find serenity among the blooms with this peace-inducing Buddha garden sculpture (right). Made from fiber-reinforced cement, it was inspired by ancient sculptures from Eastern temple carvings. Ready to plant? Our Garden Potting Bench is made from sustainably harvested, FSC-certified eucalyptus. It also doubles as an entertaining station for backyard dinners or parties!
5. Bug off
Mosquitoes or wasps wrecking your outdoor oasis? Skip the toxic pesticides and look for people-, pet-, and planet-friendly pest repellants instead. Our Mosquito Mister Lantern mists out a safe, all-natural bug repellent and includes a soft-glow light for nighttime. Protect your family from wasps with our beautiful and functional Recycled Glass Wasp Catchers (right), based on a time-tested design that's been around since the Middle Ages.

Here is my dilemma. I have been training for about 6 months for a 15k in my hometown. My girlfriend started running about a two months ago, training for the same race.
My problem is: she thinks it is ok for me to slow down my runs to stay with her while she stops to catch her breath. I feel like I am hindering my progress and possibly my body by slowing down my running speed and walking with her when I feel good and should continue.
So I guess what I am asking is this: will slowing up my runs hinder my overall performance?
I have the same situation with a couple of my running partners. Going a little bit slower on easy runs won't hurt, but I wouldn't stop to walk if you don't need to. The way I manage it is, I typically only run my easy runs with my running partners, and if they need to stop to walk or are going way too slow, I will run ahead for a couple minutes and lap back to meet up and continue running with them again. They know what my goals are so they are very understanding about that. I always do my tempo runs or intervals alone so that I will push myself to stay on my pace and get the maximum benefits from them. Good luck with your training!

I agree w/ the above if it's possible do your recovery runs w/ her or long slow distance and do you hard workouts without her or do it at the track or a small loop course so you can run together but not exactly together. BUT be very careful with this it's one thing to drop a training partner it's another thing to PO your girlfriend. She may see this as time together with you and sharing your interests and if you drop her incorrectly she may hold it against you. It may pay to introduce more training partners to you workouts - people closer to her speed to keep her company when you take off. good luck and have fun
goals for 2011:
break 19minutes for 5k
break 2:42 for olympic triathlon probably Anthracite olympic
break 3:16 for marathon ( a long shot but it's fun putting yourself out there)
I have this same problem! My girlfriend is slower than I am and I only run with her when I purposefully want to run slow and she wants to run a bit faster. We meet in the middle. But I've told her that I take my training seriously so I can't run with her too frequently. It would be silly for her to get mad about that - after all, does Lance Armstrong's wife get mad when he doesn't want to loop back for her during his training rides? An extreme example, but same principle It works out when she's doing a workout or if we do track workouts together.
Other solutions include treadmill running together, playing other sports as cross-training, or lifting weights. Sometimes you're walking a fine-line between getting in a fight and being honest, but it's a worthwhile discussion to have.
Cheers, - Fitz.
This is a tough one.
I have been the slow guy in a pair (not with my wife, just a buddy from work). We were getting ready for a sprint-distance triathlon that included a 5k, and we worked out our shared training like this: Run our 5k practice loop, once a week, together, at my pace. Having him along would push me. Then, I'd be done, and he'd go run it again, at his pace (and his second lap was still WAY faster than my first). The first lap was his warmup, for lack of a better term.

Best little forum on the Internet: http://www.vaughnripley.com/forum/
Short answer is yes: You need to do 2 good quality workout a week to improve. So do them with a running group or by yourself, and run the other days with her. When I run with my wife I do side streets to add extra miles/tempo that seems to help. I think every one has a point where to slow makes it harder, I would avoid that pace.
Sacman21 wrote:"...will slowing up my runs hinder my overall performance? "
In a word, yes. You will be running below your capabilities, and it will hinder both your performance and your improvement as a runner.
Ideally a running partner's strengths and pace should be reasonably well matched with yours. However, if your girlfriend very much wants to run with you (and I assume vice versa), then I'd suggest that the two of you join a local running club or group that includes a range of abilities. Then you can each run with others of your own ability, while still running "together" as part of a larger group.

Well, now that I've got my niece interested in running she wants to run with me. Here's how I handle this. I keep my training runs separate from hers. When I do join her on her runs/walks, we talk about training and other stuff about running. I've given her books on running and training. I let her know what run i did yesterday, on what paces or time intervals and how I'm benefiting. I do this in hopes that she will move forward with her running program and that she will do her own thing.
That being said, I also enjoy taking the time to run/walk with her since one never knows, maybe she just wants to spend time with her uncle. Also, it depends on your goal with running too and how much time you have to train/run.
The thing is here, for me, I luv running. I also luv helping others to run as well. Good luck both of you.
"Peace" Long May You Run
As the slow runner in my family and friends , i can tell you from experience i only run with people once a week. i push myself faster and i think it helps me.
also before we start i ask them how far they plan to run and make a deal with them that i run the first half at their pace no stopping no matter what.. and then we slow down the second half at least one min per mile slower than b4.....we all end up happy..
on a side note.. even if i will not stop running there does come a point where i tell them .. u must do all the talking because i got to concentrate on breathing..lol....

BB&T Is in a Very Tight Range
Published on Wednesday, 25 July 2012 06:32 Written by TradersHuddle Wire
New York, July 25th (TradersHuddle.com) - Shares of BB&T Corporation (NYSE:BBT) closed the trading session at $31.63 with its price action in a very tight range, given that calculated support is set at $31.08 and the calculated resistance is set at $32.73.
BB&T Corporation (NYSE:BBT) operates banking locations in North and South Carolina, Georgia, Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia, Kentucky, Alabama, Indiana, Washington D.C., Florida and Tennessee. The Company offers full-service commercial and retail banking, as well as insurance, retail brokerage, corporate finance, and international banking.
BB&T's stock price action indicates that both sellers and buyers are materializing very close to each other. This signals an area where momentum is building, since the stock can resolve by breaking out of the developing tight range.
Traders wanting to establish a position should pay close attention to BB&T's price action, as any movement outside its predefined range of $31.08 and $32.73 could grasp the attention of momentum buyers that look for a big movement in the price of the stock. Traders need to be aware that tight range resolution works both ways, hence, a move below support could spark above the average selling. A tiered approach could be the best way to start a position; enter into it while the stock is in the tight range, and then add to this position as it breaks and closes above resistance.

Marin IPO Highlights Strength of Marketing Software, Possible Future for Ad Tech
Marin Software, the latest in a string of initial public offerings of marketing software companies, came out today with a strong start, showing that investors are eager for new ways to tap into the shift of advertising dollars into the digital world.
While several marketing software developers have had strong IPOs in recent months, Marin is one of just a few IPO-bound marketers focused specifically on advertising technology.
Marin priced its offering at $14 a share and jumped to almost $20 on its opening, before trading at around $17 for most of the day.
Marin offers customers a platform to manage all their digital advertising in paid search, display, mobile and social advertising, though the majority of its $59.5 million in revenue last year came from paid search campaigns.
While advertisers have been shifting their spending into digital advertising in recent years, there's been only one way for public-market investors to play into that trend: investing in publishers like Facebook, Google or Yahoo.
By investing in Marin, "investors can play the digital-advertising trend with a company with nice recurring revenue," said Kevin McClelland, who leads technology investment banking at JMP Securities. "It has the characteristics of some of the [software-as-a-service] companies like Workday and ServiceNow that went public in 2012."
While there's a slew of private ad-tech companies, few that deal directly in digital ads have gone public. That's in part because many are too small, but also because they often have different business models from traditional software companies–business models that sometimes include buying and selling ad space, rather than licensing or subscription fees–thus creating a higher bar for an IPO.
"The advertising landscape is changing. There's a structural shift away from things like television and billboards, and the primary reason for that is everyone wants to quantify everything," said Peter Goldmacher, an senior analyst and managing director with Cowen & Co. "Marketing is changing from a qualitative art to a quantitative, mathematical function."
That shift has helped other recent IPOs for marketing software companies like ExactTarget and Eloqua, which sell software that helps companies automate tasks like email marketing and harvesting sales leads from a website.
