David Irving, Hitler and Holocaust Denial: Electronic Edition, by Richard J. EvansTable of Contents
|<< (G) Manipulation and Sup...
|< (A) Irving's claim
(H) Manipulation of statistics: the number of Jews killed in Riga
1. As has already been demonstrated in other briefings, Irving often manipulates numbers and statistics. He does so again in the case of the Jews killed in Riga. As we have seen, Irving claims that on 30 November 1941, one thousand Jews from Berlin and 'four thousand of Riga's unwanted Jews were...machine-gunned into two or three pits'. Irving's assertion here, which he states with absolute certainty, relies on a report of Einsatzgruppe A.69 However, subsequent reports by the Nazi killing squads and post-war legal investigations indicate that the real number of Jews exterminated was significantly higher. For instance, a report compiled by the Reich Security Main Office (RSHA) detailed that a total of 10,600 Jews were shot in Riga on 30 November 1941.70 After a detailed post-war investigation, the jury court in Hamburg accepted in 1973 that the real number was even higher: between 13,000 and 15,000 Jews were killed on 30 November 1941 in the massacre near Riga.71 Faced with this evidence, Irving offers a further argument in support of his significantly lower figure. Drawing on the testimony of Bruns, who had described that the victims were gunned down into three ditches (24 metres long, about 3 metres wide), Irving claims that each ditch 'would have held one or two thousand victims'.72 It is entirely unclear how Irving arrives at this bizarre conclusion, for Bruns in his testimony makes no reference at all to the depth of the ditches.
2. Furthermore, Irving in his main narrative in Goebbels: Mastermind of the 'Third Reich', fails to enlighten his readers about a second massacre of the Riga Jews which took place on 8 December 1941. Only in his footnotes does he acknowledge that Einsatzgruppe A reported that in early December 1941 a total of 27,800 Jews were executed in Riga. However, Irving immediately casts doubt on these figures, claiming that they are 'possibly an exaggeration'.73 Yet, Irving's doubts are not confirmed by other sources. The court in Hamburg in 1973 established that 12,000-15,000 Jews were killed on 8 December 1941, bringing the total number of Jews murdered by the Nazis in Riga between 30 November 1941 and 8 December 1941 to 25,000-30,000.74 Using various methods of calculating the victims in Riga, the historian Andrew Ezergailis has also arrived at figures of certainly almost 25,000 Jews killed.75

Hi everyone, I seem to be having the common stuttering problem, but I can't figure out whats going wrong.
First of some stats: pc: core2duo @ 3.2 Ghz, 4GB RAM, HD 5770, MSI p35 neo board
modem/router combo, CBN, docsis 3.0 from telenet provider.
Everything used to run flawless, I was able to stream everything to my ps3 without problem, then suddenly it just stopped working... flawlessly, everything stutters, even the smallest file and lowest resolution is unable to stream.
Also tested this on my smartphone and confirmed that it is most likely not the ps3.
PMS also does not show any current bitrate and buffer status does not fill up. It does show what it is serving up.
-Firewalls are all off
-It is not an issue with cable or wireless, seeing as it even stutters with the lowest of quality streams, at 1mbps.
-formatted pc recently, maybe i forgot to install an extra plugin? (java is ofcourse installed, together with cccp and even installed vlc just to see if it would help)
-AVIsynth is also installed
-restarted router, made sure upnp is on
Please, any help on the issue will be appreciated, thank you.
If there is any more info you require, do not hesitate to ask!
Kind regards

Feeling pretty satisfied with yourselves this morning, Obama supporters? Feeling real "proud" that your man won? Feeling nice and positive about all the "good things" that might happen over the next four years?
Hang your heads, all you people proudly displaying our "I Voted" stickers. You haven't just let down your country; you've let down A-list movie star scion and aspiring pop-hop/ R&B singer Chester "Chet Haze" Hanks, who's been known to drop a little knowledge from time to time on the social media platform of the day, The Twitter. And yesterday—while many of you were standing in line at polling station like so many mindless heads of cattle—Chet was kind enough to proffer some sobering political analysis:
He also wrote "Fuckboi shoot yo stylist" yesterday, but we cannot confirm that he was referring to fuckboi voters specifically.

Inland Folk with Dan Maher
Saturday from 11am-2pm, on the NPR & Classical Music stations of NWPR
- Hosted by Dan Maher
Inland Folk with Dan Maher is an eclectic program of local and national folk music with a thirty year tradition in the Northwest.
Inland Folk actually began on Spokane Public Radio and Dan rode a bus from Pullman to Spokane every few weeks to produce two or three programs at a time. He hauled a variety of music on those trips. For many years now, Dan has recorded the program in Pullman. He is his own producer, editor, engineer and host – and his audience loves what he does. He also performs music all over the Northwest and works full-time for Washington State University Student Involvement.
The program has expanded from a one-hour show to the three hours of folk music it is today. Inland Folk still airs on Spokane Public Radio as well. Dan volunteers his time to help both Spokane Public Radio and Northwest Public Radio during fund drives. He has asked for pledges on the air, performed live for hours and offered free concerts as incentives for financial support. Dan is himself a supporter of both Northwest Public Radio and sister station KWSU/KTNW Public TV.

The Oak Ridge Board of Education will start looking again for superintendent of schools candidates after two finalists withdrew and a third didn't get a second interview.
School Board Chairman Keys Fillauer said Wednesday afternoon that Roger Collins, superintendent of Nelson County Public Schools in Livingston, Va., and Dan Lawson, superintendent of Tullahoma city schools, took their names out of the equation and the local School Board decided not to bring Neland Clark, superintendent of South Harrison Community School in Corydon, Ind., back to Oak Ridge for a second interview.
Fillauer said Collins and Lawson both decided to stay in their current positions.

CORPUS CHRISTI – The Texas A&M - Corpus Christi women's basketball team has signed Whitney Dunn (Yukon, Okla./Mustang High School) and Zenobia Winbush (Schertz, Texas/Samuel Clemens High School) to National Letters of Intent, head coach Robert Robinson announced today.
"I am very pleased with the signing of Whitney and Zenobia," Robinson said. "With Myeisha Myles and Zoey Vega-Vega leaving next year, we will need to fill in the post position. Both of these players fit the system well, can run the floor and score. They will be great additions to our program."
Dunn, a 6-foot post is a four-year letter winner at Mustang High School under head coach Niki McCann. She is currently in her senior season with the Broncos after earning Offensive Player of the Year honors as a junior and First Team All-Conference accolades, while averaging 15 points, 10 rebounds and five assists.
Dunn started playing summer league basketball in the sixth grade and has been involved in AAU ball. She has been active in leadership, student council and Relay for Life all four years.
Winbush, a 6-foot wing is ranked by rivercityhoopscoop.com as the No. 8 player in the "2012 Top Players" for San Antonio. Winbush is also listed as one of San Antonio's "Best Players by Category" in the "Slashers" category.
Winbush is a four-year letterwinner at Samuel Clemens under head coach Coy Tackitt. During her junior campaign she led the Buffaloes in free-throw percentage (79.41), rebounds, blocked shots, field-goal percentage (38.49) and finished third in scoring. Winbush led her team to a 15-18 record and a 7-5 record at Districts while earning Second Team All-District accolades.
As a sophomore, Winbush and the Lady Buffaloes finished with a 25-10 record and 7-5 at districts. She earned Academic All-District honors each of her years.
Winbush played AAU basketball for the San Antonio Lady Rohawks under coach Charlie Harper. She comes from an athletic family with two older brothers taking part in collegiate athletics. Sherwin II plays for Friends University and Zachary plays football at Texas Tech.
The Islanders will tip-off their season Saturday, Nov. 12, at 7 p.m. against Missouri in the Dugan Wellness Center.

Braindance, on 21 April 2013 - 06:17 AM, said:
He must be disgusting and biased because when he decided to post his opinions about what he thought would improve the game, he happened to think differently than you.
There are a lot of game improving changes that would be nerfs to classes, just because those classes arent FOTM doesnt mean the game cant be improved by changing things. Yeah, on my list of shit i wish was different, berserking rage is pretty damn low, but the CD is still a little too short. The only real way to fix this game is to nerf everything to the ground and build it back up, not keep buffing classes in a cycle to keep everyone feeling viable every other season. Swallow your pride and accept that in the end every class has silly mechanics that could be looked at.
For instance, CnD and Subterfuge together is stupidly OP and i would like to see changes even though that hurts my class. Does that make me disgusting and biased? No it means i want to improve the game.
Now please stop complaining about a spell simply because its your classes, were trying to have a rational discussion and youre getting all bitchy and emotional.

Roger flies into final
Roger will challenge for his fourth Australian Open title this Sunday after he defeated France's Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 6-2, 6-3, 6-2, wasting no time and energy.
"It's nice going through a match like that," Roger said. "I think against top players, it's always positive if you can win the first set. It won't be the same story in the next match I play here."
Roger had no problems disposing of the 2008 runner-up today. The Frenchman looked a pale shadow of his best form as our number one did what he pleased to. Tsonga had won their last encounter, in three sets in Montreal last August, but it was never a contest at their third career meeting.
Roger will play the 22nd (!) grand slam final of his career and 18th of the last 19 majors. The only break in the sequence was his semifinal loss to Djokovic in 2008 in the Australian Open, which he has won three times so far. Roger will meet Andy Murray (ATP 5) in Sunday's final. Although the head-to-head is negative for our champ (4-6), Roger has a good feeling as he had been able to defeated the Scotsman clearly in the final of the US Open 2008.

Camp Sunny Patch Session 7 is brought to you by Melissa & Doug, written by Camp Counselor (and Melissa and Doug Blog Ambassador) Allie McDonald. (Click here for a printable version.)
As the Summer Olympics in London bring together the world's best athletes, they remind us all how truly small our world is. They also create a great context for teaching your children about the world around them. This art project is just about the perfect summer project with a world theme. It uses gross motor skills, it's messy, and the end result is awesome! Here is how you can make one cool world in your own backyard.
You will need a canvas, some clear contact paper, blue, green and white paint, simple kitchen sponges (3 per sponge bomb), rubber bands, a dish for the paint, scissors and a smock.
Start by prepping the canvas. You will need to cut a piece of contact paper big enough to cover the whole canvas and cut a circle out of the middle. Press the contact paper on the canvas so there is a circle of canvas exposed, while the edges are all covered by the contact paper.
Now to make the sponges. Layer three cheap (think dollar store) sponges on top of each other. Make 2-3 cuts so the sponges are long, skinny rectangles. Using a rubber band tie them together tightly. Fluff.
Now go outside. There is NO way you want to do this inside.
Pour some paint in a dish and soak the sponges in it.
Set the canvas a few or many feet from the paint.
Throw! Try to hit the exposed canvas.
We threw from near and far. Beware because those suckers are really tempting to throw at each other too. We may or may not have ended up blue and green.
Let the canvas dry, peel the contact paper off and you will have an amazing Earth artwork and an equally amazing summer memory!

SAN ANDREAS - Parents and other adults can help grieving children by listening carefully but also by not forcing children to discuss a painful loss when they are not ready, said David Sackman, deputy director of behavioral health for Calaveras County.
Sackman spoke Monday as county residents grappled with the loss of Alex Marshall and Macaila Marshall, who were shot to death last week by their father, Phillip Marshall, who then killed himself.
"It's important to let kids know they are not to blame when bad things happen," Sackman said.
Sometimes, just staying physically close, rather than talking, can be what a grieving child needs, Sackman said. "They need a lot more hugs and support."
Sackman said parents in coming weeks might also see children who start arguments or engage in risky behavior. Such acting out can be a way for a person to distract himself or herself from the pain of the grief, he said.
Sackman said that the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration has a helpful pamphlet that offers parents guidance on grief in children of various ages. It is attached to this story.

Emmys live up to unpredictable nature
Actress Kerry Washington arrives at the BAFTA's Los Angeles TV Tea party at the SLS Hotel on Saturday, Sept. 21, 2013 in Los Angeles. (Photo by Dan Steinberg/Invision/AP) by David BauderAP Television Writer The Emmys lived up to its reputation as the least predictable entertainment awards show. Television's annual night of honors, where the AMC drama "Breaking Bad" and ABC comedy "Modern Family" were judged the industry's finest on Sunday night, mixed in surprises with expected winners, and ended some winning streaks while extending others. Newcomer Netflix made its presence felt, but not in the splashy way it had hoped for. "Nobody in America is winning their office pool," host Neil Patrick Harris said late in the CBS telecast from the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles.

Boeing 747 Supertanker
By john on Mar 22, 2007
I recently visited the Hiller Aviation Museum in San Carlos and bumped into a pilot who used to fly for United but now has a new, and much more interesting, job flying 747s to extinguish forest fires.
I couldn't believe it. As a kid I spent two summers fighting fires for the Alberta Forest Service and was frequently awed when a DC3 would come hurling out of nowhere just a few dozen feet above the tops of the trees around me.
But that was a DC3. This guy was talking about 747s.
A 747 has some big advantages over a DC3. It has much longer range, and can travel to longer distances in shorter times, resulting in improved response times. And of course a 747 holds more fire retardant. Seven times as much in fact.
The pilot (Buddy) told me that holding tank is 24000 gallons, which can be filled in 30 minutes using a special pumper truck. But get this, they can dispense those 24000 gallons in just ten seconds. And they can do so flying 200 feet above the tree tops.
Just don't ask how many acres of forest go up in flames if one of these puppies fails to negotiate a turn.

FoodFacts.com is always thrilled to learn how natural foods can play an important role in the prevention and treatment of disease. Breast cancer affects so many – not only in our own country where over 200,000 women are diagnosed with the disease each year – but worldwide.
A study out of the Rajiv Gandhi University in Bangalore, Karnatak, India illustrates that compounds known as shatavarins found in the roots of asparagus show the potential for anticancer, particularly activity against human breast cancer cells.
The researchers involved prepared shatavrin IV, the ingredient found in asparagus that is active against cancer and isolated it in a preparation. The prepared shatavrin IV samples were tested in human breast cancer cell lines, colon adenocarcinoma cell lines and human kidney carcinoma cell lines to determine the different cells' reactions.
The shatavarin IV preparations showed the potential to be effective in fighting cancer cells.
In addition to testing done in this manner, on oral administration of an extract of asparagus was also prepared. It was given in doses of 250 and 500 mg/kg body weight for 10 days. It was discovered that this led to a significant reduction in tumor volume and viable tumor cell count as well as an increase in the non-viable cell count. In addition to these results, the asparagus extracts also restored blood parameters to normal levels.
Based on these findings, researchers concluded that the asparagus preparations show noteworthy anticancer potential.
This promising study could lead to new and natural treatments for breast cancer and provide hope that there are less toxic treatments than the traditional medical approaches to the disease. While we know that such treatments are effective in many cases, they are also incredibly difficult for patients to endure. FoodFacts.com understands that for breast cancer patients and those who love them, a solution that may come from a simple vegetable would offer a far less traumatic path for patients worldwide.
And based on this research, perhaps we should be serving more asparagus with our meals and get used to telling our children "Eat your asparagus," just as often as we've ever told them to eat their broccoli!

Snow expected to hit West Alabama
Published: Wednesday, January 16, 2013 at 3:55 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 16, 2013 at 3:55 p.m.
Some snow is expected in Tuscaloosa early Thursday morning, but it won't stick around.
An upper level moving across the area will include rain turning to snow around sunrise, said National Weather Service meteorologist Holly Britton.
"Expect a trace to a half-inch across the Tuscaloosa area around 6 or 7 a.m.," she said. "We expect it to start coming down in a heavy snow shower, which will provide a quick burst of heavy snow in an isolated location. Where that happens, we could see a quick accumulation of up to inches in grassy or elevated surfaces like car roofs and porches. As soon as it stops falling, it's going to melt because the ground temperatures are so warm."
In other words, people can expect to encounter slushy, wet roads but not much snow during a morning commute.
The National Weather Service issued a winter storm watch Wednesday afternoon for several counties, including Tuscaloosa, Lamar, Fayette and Pickens.
The watch will last through Thursday afternoon and includes areas north of a line from Aliceville to Jemison to Roanoke. A winter storm watch is issued when there is potential for significant snow, sleet or ice accumulations that could impact travel.

Clear The Decks Price*
The authors of the highly regarded history The U.S. Marine Corps have written a new work that combines a lively, well-researched narrative with a generous selection of photographs and paintings, many in full color, and numerous maps to provide an illustrated history of the U.S. Marine Corps from its inception to the present day. The combination of a wealth of art, a substantial text, and a balanced perspective make the work unique in the literature of the Corps. Many of its illustrations have never before been published or have appeared only in black and white. Unlike other histories of the Corps, this one relies heavily on primary sources and original research
They explain how and why a force that throughout the first century of its existence seldom exceeded the strength of an infantry regiment still managed to attain a strength greater than that of many armies, and developed what is arguably the world's most potent military mystique. Because the history of any institution is the product of the actions of the individuals contained within it, the book includes cameos of some of those who made exceptional contributions to the Corps' rich heritage. An introductory chapter outlines the evolution of marine forces from ancient times to the eve of the American Revolution. Neither a rehash of old histories nor a repeat of unsupported sea stories and fictional tales, this new study brings the Corps' history fully up to date.
Merrill L. Bartlett served as an officer in the Marine Corps for twenty years, with final assignment at the U.S. Naval Academy, where he earned three awards for excellence in teaching history. He is the author, coauthor, editor, or coeditor of seven books on naval history, and he has published more than a hundred essays, encyclopedia entries, forewords to books, and book reviews. He lives on Vashon Island, WA.
Jack Sweetman is the author, coauthor, translator, editor or coeditor of ten books and many shorter pieces in the field of naval and military history. He served as a company commander in the U.S. Army and was a Ford Fellow at Emory University, where he earned his Ph. D. For many years contributing editor of Naval History magazine, he is a recipient of the Alfred Thayer Mahan Award for Literary Achievement and a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society. He lives in Orlando, FL.
—Praise for Leathernecks—
"Two accomplished marines, one of them a career marine, join forces in this outstanding history of the U.S. Marine Corps." —Roland Green, Booklist
"Here is a book that will resonate with anyone whoever had anything to do with the Marine Corps, not to mention military bluffs of every calling." —Rod E. Redman, Sea Classics

If you've followed the progress of the new Bay Bridge, you should be numb to surprise by now. As the project lumbers toward completion in six months, it's $5 billion over its original budget and nine years behind its original schedule. Cost overruns, delays and mismanagement cease to amaze when they keep recurring.
Still, a lot people swallowed their tongues last week when the Bay Area Toll Authority's oversight committee forwarded a plan to spend $5.6 million for a bridge-opening celebration over the Labor Day weekend. What's to celebrate? That the bleeding has stopped? That we're on only our fourth governor since the rebuild was approved? Isn't this like a graduation party for the kid who needed nine tries to complete his senior year?
To put the dollar figure in context, $5.6 million is more than the bridge generates in weekly tolls. It's enough to pay fares for 1 million vehicles. Or, it's enough for a lavish, self-congratulatory party.
"I take issue with the word 'party,'" said Randy Rentschler, Metropolitan Transportation Commission spokesman and celebration planner. "The way I see it, we did the exact same thing for the opening of the new Carquinez Bridge (in 2003)."
There's a tiny difference in scope, of course. The Carquinez party -- excuse me, opening celebration -- cost $300,000, attracted about 15,000 bridge walkers and an equal number to a fireworks display. The Bay Bridgeathon is expected to engage 200,000 walkers, runners and bikers, plus 300,000 for the fireworks.
Rentschler said planners considered many ways to mark the opening -- Lord knows, they had time -- including doing nothing. ("Just open it to cars and we're finished with it," he said.) One option was a cultural celebration, with stage acts near the chain-cutting ceremony. Another was running and biking events, with participants paying entry fees. (Those are incorporated into the final plan.)
Planners finally gravitated toward something that offered broader access -- a leisurely walk for all who wished to cross the six-mile span. That means busing participants from BART stations to the starting point, crowd control, restrooms, water stops and public safety. Inviting everyone isn't cheap.
"This bridge has some serious attractions when you get close to it," Rentschler said. "It's a thing of beauty. You can't experience it in a car; you have to do it in person. When people do that, I think the magic of the thing is really going to rub off."
Rentschler, who has marveled at the bridge up close, thinks others should have the experience. Whether that's worth $5.6 million is the question. Will people look back years from now and proudly tell their grandchildren, "I was there for opening day," or will they say, "Do you know how much they spent on that damn event?"
Maybe this is a fitting end to a project that has both captured the Bay Area's fancy and tried its patience. The heart swells with civic pride as the mind winces at the price. Rentschler understands the paradox of celebrating something that has often been the target of scorn.
"Even with the history of debate we had on the bridge and the cost overruns," he said, "I think at a certain point we're all going to be proud of it. Let's look at it for what it is, not the path we took to get here."
Remember, this is a once-in-a-lifetime project. And not just because it took that long.

The group of cadets will finish the program in June. Between now and then they will do some driving training and more advanced firearms training. (WRDW-TV / April 27, 2012)
News 12 at 6 o'clock / Friday, April 27, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Twenty-five cadets are spending 18 weeks training to become the next generation of law enforcement.
On Friday, those cadets spent the day on the firing range. If they're not on target, it could affect their certification.
This kind of training has always been important, but it's even more crucial now. More than two dozen officers across the U.S. have lost their lives in the line of duty so far this year. That has affected the way cadets are trained.
Eric Snowberger is the lead instructor at the Augusta Tech Peace Officers Academy. He said a big part of the training is recognizing the dangers that come with the job.
"I've always known this job was serious, but me getting here and training these officers, they need to know that it can happen here," he said. "It's not happening in New York and Chicago and Miami -- it's happening right here in our community."
A community that's now training officers to stay alive by learning from officer deaths.
"A lot of the shooting situations we might be able to save some of these officers," he said.
Throughout the class, Snowberger keeps a memorial wall on the back of the classroom of officers killed in the line of duty. To the cadets, the wall is a reminder of what can happen.
"You realize that it's not a given that you'll make it back to the house, so you kinda just have to train under those circumstances and knowing that that situation could possibly happen," said Regina Flemming, class leader assistant.
The class goes over the circumstances of each death and talks about how to make sure it doesn't happen to them.
"You mourn the officers that have passed, but you also learn from how their deaths occurred and you kinda take that as a learning experience on your own," said Class Leader J.D. Allen. "You really just gotta keep going; you can't think that could be me because it could be anybody at anytime."
Last year, it was more than 160 officers, but Snowberger hopes his training saves his cadets' lives so they can protect yours.
The group of cadets will finish the program in June. Between now and then they will do some driving training and more advanced firearms training. They will then have their post certification and go on to start looking for jobs in law enforcement.
The next class at Augusta Tech Peace Officer Academy begins on July 9. If you are interested in registering, visit Augusta Tech's website.

The condition of a man who was stabbed after allegedly breaking into another man's apartment has been upgraded to stable, authorities said Friday.
Lt. David Kennedy with the Neosho Police Department said the 28-year-old suspect remains in Freeman West's intensive care unit, but his condition has improved from critical to stable. The man's name has not been released.
At about 3:30 p.m. Wednesday, Neosho police responded to a 911 call at 116 N. High, Apt. 5, regarding a possible stabbing. The caller, whose identity Friday was confirmed as Jeff Heathman, said he had stabbed a man who had broken into his home and assaulted him. Heathman was brought in for questioning, but not placed into custody.
Later, officers were sent to Freeman Neosho Hospital where the suspect went for treatment of the stab wound.
Kennedy told the Daily News that officers interviewed the 28-year-old twice at the hospital, adding that the suspect's statements confirmed the statements Heathman made to police.
Kennedy said reports on the incident have been completed and sent to Newton County Prosecutor Jake Skouby's office for review.

The $72,000 Question
How much are behavioral and medical treatments costing your family? These costs, and the fact that many therapies used to help individuals with ASD do not have strong scientific support of their effectiveness, are the subjects of a six-page feature article in the October issue of Scientific American.
In the article, author Nancy Shute reviews the myriad therapies that are frequently used by families in search of help for autism's challenging symptoms. One therapy with consistent evidence-based support through randomized controlled clinical trials is early intensive behavioral therapy therapy. As the article noted, a study published in Pediatrics in November 2009 and led by Autism Speaks' Chief Scientific Officer, Geraldine Dawson, Ph.D. underscores the benefit for intensive early behavioral intervention in improving the outcomes of young children on the spectrum. Unfortunately this type of intervention can cost families over $33,000 per year and that is not quite half the total costs incurred by families. A Harvard School of Public Health report places the average total medical and non-medical costs of autism at approximately $72,000 per year.
Autism Speaks was highlighted several times in the article. First, the substantial contribution of private foundations to funding autism research was noted– $79 million in 2007. Second, an analysis of Autism Speaks' research investments showed that about 27% of our research funding went to investigating treatments. The search for causes received 29% and basic biology received 24%, with the remaining 9% of funding going to research to improve diagnosis.
Finally, two clinical programs of Autism Speaks were featured. The Autism Treatment Network (ATN) was highlighted for its one-of-a kind registry of children on the autism spectrum and the various medical conditions that accompany autism such as sleep disturbances and gastrointestinal disorders. The ATN enables network clinicians to identify best practices in medical care for autism. These practices are released as published guidelines for used by practitioners everywhere. The Autism Genetic Resource Exchange (AGRE) was also featured along with one of the founding scientists and ongoing advisors, Daniel Geschwind, M.D., Ph.D. As we learn more about the genetic risk for ASD, this registry of families with at least two affected children, becomes an increasingly important resource for scientists and clinicians. AGRE families participate in multiple surveys, provide samples for genetic analysis and creation of cell lines that can be shared with other researchers seeking to understand the biology of autism and evaluate new treatment possibilities.
Now, back to the $72,000 question. Autism Speaks is in a unique position with its focus on science and research in conjunction with a strong government relations team. Easing the financial impact of autism requires insurance reform, which is underway in many states. However, we need treatments that have withstood the rigors of scientific testing to put forth for insurance coverage. The successful interplay between scientifically-validated treatments and insurance policy is a long and arduous road but one that Autism Speaks is uniquely poised to travel.

Video shows Justin Bieber WASN'T driving Ferrari in Keyshawn Johnson confrontation
Listen to Justin Bieber on iHeartRadio
Score one for Justin Bieber... he was NOT driving his Ferrari the day Keyshawn Johnson confronted him for reckless driving -- and there's video that proves it.
Tyler, the Creator told TMZ last night... HE was driving the Ferrari... not Justin. TMZ reports the video shows just that.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ... the 5-minute video shows the Ferrari pulling into Justin's driveway with Tyler behind the wheel. Justin follows closely behind on his motorcycle.
Keyshawn shows up 30-second later, as Tyler gets out of the car and Justin gets in so he can make the tight maneuver into the garage.
Here's the conundrum... At least one witness insists Justin was driving the car, but the video doesn't show it.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ .. the Sheriff's Dept. will send the case over to the L.A. County D.A. for review, but one source says it's "highly unlikely" the D.A. will file criminal charges against anyone.

PARKERSBURG - Officials are beginning the feasibility study for bringing a minor league baseball team to Parkersburg.
The Wood County Development Authority announced Thursday it was hiring consulting firm AECOM "to conduct the study for a planned ballpark and team such as the Frontier League."
A public meeting has been scheduled for 6 p.m. Tuesday at Belpre City Hall, 715 Park Drive. Representatives from AECOM and the Wood County Development Authority Baseball Committee will be present.
Parkersburg Mayor Bob Newell said officials also will begin meeting with area economic and development groups on Tuesday and Wednesday for comments on bringing a team and stadium to the area.
"They will be here for two days, meeting with multiple individuals and groups," he said. "I am excited to see this starting. We've been talking about this for more than a year now and I'm excited there is enough interest to want the study."
Newell said he plans to attend Tuesday's public meeting to answer questions.
"Mostly I will be there to explain this is not a city project," he said. "This is a community project through the development authority."
Newell said visible work on the project slowed down considerably in recent months, but behind the scenes officials were securing funding for the study. He continues to see interest in bringing a ball team to the area, whether it be within or near Parkersburg.
"I've had a lot of people ask what happened to baseball," he said. "It has been a long drawn-out process, but soon people will start seeing movement on this and we will see if there is enough interest to go forward."
In December, Parkersburg City Council voted to spend $10,000 to assist with a proposed baseball feasibility study. The Wood County Economic Development Authority has taken the lead on the project. The first two phases of the feasibility study are estimated to cost about $25,000 each.
Earlier this year Newell asked council members to continue to support study of the project.
"I still think this is a good idea with a lot of potential for this area," he said.
In March, Tom Rooney, president of Rooney Sports and Entertainment Group, spoke to the Parkersburg Rotary Club about the ongoing efforts to determine the possibility of bringing baseball to the Mid-Ohio Valley. Rooney said the feasibility study would be key to moving any project forward, and reiterated local and state interest in bringing a ball team to the area.
Newell said officials tried to set up meetings about a month ago, but due to scheduling conflicts it had to be put off until now. Newell said the results of the first part of the study will determine whether there is a second part.

I would love it if you would organize this list by maybe some stars after the title of the recipe. It would be so much easier.. looking for a great chicken crockpot recipe. I want something that is excellent and tested. If there were stars or something to indicate the level of how your family liked it .. I could narrow down my search.
Just found your blog and I LOVE it! It's so nice to see crock pot recipes that don't just call for processed junk thrown together! I love that it's organized by meat type also. I can't wait to try some of these recipes. Everything I've seen so far looks great! Thanks Stephanie!
Perhaps I'm missing something but where can I search for, say, Chicken THIGH recipes or Chicken BREAST recipes, etc.? The titles of the recipes pretty much don't say which PARTS are used. I love your column Stephanie and have (quietly) followed you since well, day 2 or 3 and used many,many of your concoctions. keep on keepin' on.
You aren't missing anything! The recipes will work with whatever chicken parts you have on hand. I usually prefer thighs because they have more flavor, but will use breast halves interchangeably if I have them on hand.
The cooking time remains the same--- I hope this helps a bit!
and thank you for your kind words and support.
Not once have I ever cooked a crock pot meal that I REALLY enjoyed. So I haven't used my c.p. for 2=3 years. Something tells me I'm going to change all that. .
Post a Comment
Thank you for your comment! I will try my hardest to answer questions as they come up, but if your question gets buried, you may try me on twitter or facebook.
Happy Slow Cooking!

MARIETTA - Growing up in Fleming, there was one thing that Zach Warden, 22, could always count on one thing when the first snow hit the ground and the first sniffles started to take hold: a piping hot bowl of soup served up by mom.
Now that Warden is grown, with a wife and daughter of his own, not much has changed.
"To this day, he does the same routine: soup in a bowl in the center of a plate with a sandwich or crackers around it," said Zach's wife, Kristen.
Hot chicken noodle soup has long been seen as a comfort food. Often served on sick days, it brings back fond memories of being cared for while under the weather. But according to many, the ingredients in soup offer more than comfort. They offer a cure.
Vienna resident Diana Slusher said she can always count on soup as a surefire way to loosen up the sinuses for her and her family.
That is why Slusher serves soup to all three of her kids and her husband when they feel under the weather. Like many, Slusher herself grew up with soup as a comfort food.
"My grandma made it homemade and my mom made Campbell's out of a can," said Slusher.
Slusher grew up in Louisiana, where spicy southern dishes are common, but not exactly ideal for upset stomaches, she said. That is one of the reason soup works so well.
"Most broths are easy on the stomach, and you need to eat when you're ill. So sipping on broth or soup will give you the vitamins from the food without making you terribly nauseated," she said.
Slusher is right on the money, said Mike McCourt, a registered nurse at Physicians Care of Marietta.
"Probably the best benefit is hydration from the actual liquid," said McCourt.
The soup also helps restore electrolytes, which control everything from your natural heart beat to your muscle contractions, said McCourt.
Those who are sick lose liquids and electrolytes quickly, and so they need to be replenished more frequently, he added.
A recent study also found that chicken soup might also help boost your immune system.
Published in the American Journal of Therapeutics, the study found that carnosine, an antioxidant commonly found in poultry, helps the body's immune system fight the early stages of the flu.
At Tim Hortons, chicken noodle soup is a popular seller, said supervisor Mark Carder.
"It is actually very healthy. If you read the nutritional label, it's good for you," said Carder of the chicken soup on the menu.
Though he has a lot of under-the-weather customers ordering soup, the dish is popular with everyone, said Carder.
The popularity isn't limited to cold and flu season. Chicken noodle soup is popular year round, he said.
The Gun Room Restaurant at the Lafayette Hotel also serves chicken noodle soup on select days, said chef Josh Hall, who oversees the restaurant.
"Year round, when we put it on the menu, it goes really fast," said Hall.
However, Hall is a bit skeptical of the soups medicinal properties. "It hasn't helped my cold yet," he said.
But regardless of the naysayers, Kristen Warden's husband is sold on the healing powers of soup. "Last night he ate two cans of soup and turned to me and said, 'I feel better already,'" she said.

JSR 292 SPARC C1 and C2 support
By user13338421 on Apr 07, 2010
I just pushed the SPARC C1 and C2 patches to support JSR 292 to the MLVM repository. I've tested both thoroughly with JRuby's tests and benchmarks and both work pretty good. Although I know of one bug in C1 this can be treated as the final versions and I'll start the first review round soon to get them into JDK 7 builds.

NEVADA CITY, Calif. — A California Highway Patrol officer based out of Truckee remains in the Nevada County Jail as of Friday afternoon after he was arrested for alleged sexual acts with a minor.
Officer Robert C. Holland, 46, was arrested at his Loyalton home Tuesday on several counts of sexual acts with a minor, said Sgt. Scot Loetscher.
The arrest was made by his fellow CHP officers as they executed a search of his home, Loetscher said.
"These are serious allegations and very disappointing to the organization, but it should not be a reflection on 11,000 employees who go out every day and do their job to provide safety and services to California," Loetscher said.
The age and gender of the minor is not being released to the public, Loetscher said.
The allegations against Holland were brought to the CHP less than a month prior to Holland's arrest, Loetscher said.
"It was a very fast process from time we got them and the time we served the warrants 30 days," he said.
Holland, who has reportedly worked with the highway patrol for 15 years, was booked into the Nevada County Jail in Nevada City Tuesday evening on three felony charges, including oral copulation with a person under the age of 18, sending material with the intent of seducing a minor and a charge of forcible sexual penetration. He also faced a misdemeanor charge of annoying or molesting a child under the 18 years old.
After his booking, Holland resigned his CHP position Wednesday and is being held in lieu of $100,000 bail at the Nevada County Jail Friday.
In addition to the ongoing criminal investigation, CHP is conducting an internal administrative investigation, Loetscher said.
"Confidence of the public should not be harmed," Loetscher said. "If we find out an employee unbecoming of an officer, we take care of business."

Combine I-Shift and the GPS with an intelligent cruise control, and you get I-See. It's a unique system that learns the topography of the road and stores it in a central database. When you're driving, it automatically uses its knowledge to save fuel – up to 5% during a driving cycle (when I-Cruise is engaged the whole time).
I-See doesn't rely on maps. Since reality tends to be more accurate, it memorises the actual slopes instead. And now you don't have to have travelled the route before to save fuel. The new version of I-See stores all hills in a database free for all other trucks to use. As long as someone has travelled the route before, I-See can download the data and start saving fuel immediately. So you might even save some on your very first trip in your new Volvo FH.
1. Before the uphills: taking off.
When I-See knows an uphill is coming, it lets the speed increase, approaching the upper speed limit, to gain momentum. The truck can stay longer in a higher gear.
2. On the uphills: keeping from downshifting.
When climbing, I-See uses its stored knowledge to avoid unnecessary downshifts towards the top. You approach the crest smoothly without wasting fuel in a lower gear.
3. On the crests: staying calm.
When approaching a downhill, I-See keeps the truck from accelerating unnecessarily.
4. Before the downhill: rolling on.
Just before the slope, the driveline temporarily disengages, allowing the truck to roll. This saves energy, and minimises the need for braking.
5. On the downhills: braking in time.
I-See knows when the slope ends. Thus, when gaining speed downhill, it can apply the engine brake gently in time – instead of abruptly at the end – to prepare for the upcoming topography.
6. In the hollows: some extra schwung.
When a downhill is followed by an immediate uphill, I-See really comes to its right. It lets the truck roll, gaining speed and momentum to climb uphill with less effort.

- Accurate as hell, durable, and a power house. I actually OWN this gun so I know what I'm talking about here.
I got this gun way back 2 years ago from a local store. I wasn't expecting much at the time, it was cheap. I was in for a surprise. this gun is my trade mark gun. I've used this gun up against sniper rifles and AEGs and still won. for a pistol, the power is almost unmatched. I'm inclined to believe the FPS is higher then what it says on the stats here. the sights come pre-adjusted perfectly. the range (at least one mine) is more than 60 feet... I can hit a very small target at 60 feet accurately - never mind a man sized one. I left the gun outside for months by mistake and had it in pieces around for nearly a year. I decided to try and revive it and to my surprise it still works just like it used to. it's also taken too many falls to count. that's durability right there.
In all, very good gun for the money. great feel and works even better. the stats are underrated.
- freakin awesomeit's so smooth and it has a great weight. i just wish it had a locking slide but, oh well, still awesome!
- KWC M92fsThis is an OK gun. It's good for learning and getting used to using a pistol. It's also extremely light. For a little over $20 you could probably get something better but it's not the worst choice. It's also pretty good with .12 bbs. I have another spring gun rated for .12 bbs and they go everywhere but where you want them, but not with this gun. It shoots straight. It's not very piratical in a game but it isn't completely useless. The last thing is be careful with the magazine. If there is a problem with the spring in the magazine, the last two to one bbs will not load if the pistol isn't on its side or upside down. That is pretty much it.
- Just get the UTG U978First off...Billbarman: How did you "leave the gun outside for months by mistake", when the gun just came out. Yeah...
About the gun...It's a regular $20 spring pistol. Don't expect much. Even if you're on a low budget or not just get the UTG U978 they take a beating and are cheap.
Thanks for reading!
- Love itJust received it today. I love it even though it is light, it has the feel of the real pistol.
Great value.
