Joe Burns
Reporter, NewsChannel 21
I was born in Pendleton, Oregon. I was first introduced to journalism by daily watching the television news with my family and emulating the anchors by playing with my toy action figures.
When my family and I moved from Pendleton to Keizer, I attended McNary High School during my sophomore year. I was very fortunate to attend this high school that has a student television news program. I anchored that program and really enjoyed my experience.
After high school, I decided to pursue a broadcasting degree at the University of Oregon. That is where my love for journalism grew stronger. I graduated in June 2010 with a bachelor's degree in Broadcast Journalism and a minor in Communication Studies.
During my time in college I interned at KVAL, a local television station in Eugene. I followed reporters and assisted them in writing and interviewing sources for their stories.
Those experiences led me to a job as a reporter/anchor/producer for KTVZ in August 2010. I have always dreamed of being in the broadcasting field. This experience has given me an opportunity to report on a variety of stories from politics to community events.
When I'm not working, I enjoy watching sports (especially Oregon Ducks athletics), reading, listening to music, meeting new people and spending time with family and friends.
I thank the Central Oregon community for welcoming me into their lives, allowing me to explore new avenues and giving me the opportunity to call Central Oregon home.

The owner of a business located along U.S. Highway 6 in Eagle reported that someone had stolen parts from two vehicles parked in front of his store.
The owner said that he had left his shop around 6:30 p.m. Sept. 25 and returned to the business at 8 a.m. the next day. When he arrived at the shop, he notice that two ATVs that were parked in front of the shop had been disassembled and parts were missing.
One of the vehicles was missing rear wheels while the other was missing front wheels and its muffler. The total replacement cost for the parts is $2,195.08.
Eagle Police interviewed neighbors to learn if they had noticed anything unusual the night the thefts occurred. The neighbors did not have any information about the incident but offered to ask around to see if anyone knew anything about the theft.
On Sept. 30, an Eagle woman called police to her apartment to report an attempted burglary.
The woman showed officers pry marks at her front door frame and damage to the skid plate area of the door. Police also found a wood shard on the inside of the apartment near the door.
The police report noted the resident was scared about the incident. She said she had gone to bed the previous night at 9 p.m. and she did not hear anyone trying to get inside. She left her apartment at 9 a.m. the next morning and didn't notice the damage at that time but she did have trouble locking the door. When she returned home at 4 p.m. she saw the marks on the door frame
When asked about possible suspects, the woman said a possible motive could be her prescription pain medication. She noted there had been two previous suspicious incidents at the complex and those residents also had prescription pain medication inside their apartments. She said about a week earlier she was experiencing medical issues and was outside waiting for a friend to take her to the hospital when a "creepy guy" asked if she needed help.
Police asked her to call the next time she saw the man or to get a license plate number so he could be identified. They photographed the door and frame and provided crime prevention information for the woman. A canvass of nearby apartments did not result in any new information about the attempted break-in.
What would election season in Eagle be without a report of stolen political signs?
On Oct. 1, a local man reported a "Romney" sign was taken from his front yard. He added that similar political signs had gone missing in the Fourth of July Road, Brush Creek Road, Capital Street and Eagle Ranch Road areas.
Eagle Police were called to a local restaurant on Oct. 6 at 6:30 p.m. on a report of vandalism.
A restaurant employee said some diners had reported seeing a man park a pickup along the street and then a short time later another man walked up to the passenger side of the truck and hit a window with an object. He then unlocked the vehicle, ran around to the driver's side and took off in the car.
The restaurant employee did not witness the incident, but she reported there was broken glass near the sidewalk in front of the eatery. Prior to the police officer's arrival, the restaurant staff swept up the glass to prevent someone from injury.
The officer canvassed the area for anyone involved in the incident but no additional witnesses could be found and no one reported a stolen vehicle.

Holocaust Denial on Trial, Trial Judgment: Electronic Edition, by Charles GrayTable of Contents
|<< Evidence from other trial...
|< Early reports
|Photographic evidence >
|Conclusions to be drawn f... >>
Documentary evidence relating to the design and construction of the chambers
7.58 The Defendants assert that there exist contemporaneous documentary records which, on detailed examination, evidence the construction of gas chambers at Auschwitz. The most important Auschwitz archive that survived the war was that of the Central Construction Office at Auschwitz. The main archives of the camp Kommandantur had been destroyed by the Germans before they evacuated the camp in January 1945. The Construction Office was 300 yards away and through an oversight was left intact.
7.59 The first and most significant body of such evidence is the blue print material, which consists of a series of architectural drawings which depict the adaptation of crematoria 2 and 3 and the construction of crematoria 4 and 5. None of these drawings refers overtly to any part of the buildings being designed or intended to serve as gas chambers whether for fumigation or extermination purposes. In particular the drawings for Leichenkeller (morgue) 1 in crematorium 2 make no provision for ducts or chimneys by means of which Zyklon-B pellets might be inserted through the roof. However, van Pelt sought to illustrate by means of detailed analyses of certain features of the drawings that it reasonable to infer that certain chambers were designed to function as gas chambers.
7.60 The principal feature identified by van Pelt is the redesign of the double door to the supposed gas chamber in crematorium 2. When in 1942 the drawings were executed for the adaptation of this crematorium, this door in common with others in the same building was designed to open inwards. Careful scrutiny of the drawings reveals, however, that the drawing of the inward- opening door has been scratched out. A fresh drawing dated 19 December 1942 was made by Jakob, the chief of the drawing office, who rarely undertook drawings himself. It provides for the door to the supposed gas chamber to open outwards. There is no apparent reason for this. To van Pelt the obvious explanation is that the chamber was to be used as a gas chamber. If the door opened inwards, it would be impossible to open it after the administration of the gas because of the crush of corpses against the inside or the door of those who struggled to get out when they realised what was happening to them.
7.61 The next feature identified by van Pelt relates to the entrance to crematorium 2 and the means of which access was gained to the morgue below. In its original design, the entrance was situated to one side of the building. Inside the entrance there was a slide down which corpses would be tipped to reach the level of the morgue. But the drawing shows that this design was changed in late 1942 so as to move the entrance to the crematorium to the street side of the building. At the same time a new stairway to the morgue was designed to replace the pre-existing slide. Van Pelt pointed out that the original design apparently contemplated that only corpses would need to be transported down to the morgue. The new design on the other hand is consistent with a wish to enable people transported to Auschwitz to proceed from the railway station through the new entrance, then to walk downstairs into what is alleged to have been the undressing room and thence into the supposed gas chamber. The stairway has been redesigned in such a way that it would be extremely awkward to carry corpses down to the morgue on stretchers. Van Pelt concludes that the object of the redesign of the stairway was to enable living people to walk downstairs rather than for corpses to be carried down.
7.62 The drawings further provide for the ventilation of the supposed gas chamber in crematorium 2. Van Pelt infers that the purpose of the system for extracting air was to extract poisonous air and so speed up the removal of the corpses to the incinerators.
7.63 Crematoria 4 and 5 were new buildings. The initial drawings are dated August 1942, not long after the visit paid to the camp by Himmler, which the Defendants say marks the inception of the accelerated extermination programme. According to van Pelt the design of these crematoria incorporated undressing rooms (although not so designated on the drawings) and morgues which were to serve as gas chambers. The drawings of the morgues make provision for several windows measuring 30 x 40cms. The size of these windows corresponds with the size of windows referred to elsewhere in construction documents as being required to be gas proof. The windows were to be above eye level. Van Pelt draws the inference that the purpose of these windows was to enable Zyklon-B pellets to be inserted through them into the building (a process which was observed by Sonderkommando Dragon, as mentioned above).
7.64 Van Pelt agreed that the drawings for crematoria 4 and 5 show a drainage system which appears to link up with the camp sewage system. He disagreed with Irving's suggestion that this would have been highly dangerous because large quantities of liquid cyanide would have found their way into the sewage system. Van Pelt claims that the gas would evaporate rather than turn into liquid.
7.65 In addition to the architectural drawings, there are other documents which, according to the Defendants, lend support to their contention that there were gas chambers at the camp which were used for genocidal purposes. I shall not itemise all the documents identified by the Defendants as belonging in this category. They include a patent application for multi-muffle ovens made by Topf. Although the patent application does not in fact relate to the ovens supplied to Auschwitz in 1942/3, it is said that the principle is the same. The two features of the application on which the Defendants focus are, firstly, the method of employing fat corpses to speed promote the rate at which corpses can be burned and, secondly, the claim that no fuel is required after the initial two day pre-heating period, no more fuel will be required because of the amount of heat generated by the burning corpses. Van Pelt noted that both these features are reflected in the account given by Tauber of the way in which the corpses were incinerated.
7.66 Another allegedly incriminating document is the record of a meeting held on 19 August 1942 between members of the Auschwitz construction office and a representative of the engineers Topf to discuss the construction of four crematoria. The note of the meeting refers to the construction of triple oven incinerators near the "Badenanstalten fur Sonderaktionen" ("bath-houses for special actions": the words are in quotations in the original).
7.67 In a different category is a report dated 16 December 1942 made by a corporal named Kinna, which made reference to an order that, in order to releive the camp, limited people, idiots, cripples and sick people must be removed from the same by liquidation. Kinna stated that the implementation of this order was difficult because the Poles, unlike the Jews, must die a natural death.
7.68 The Defendants relies on a letter dated 29 January 1943 from Bischoff, Chief of Central Construction Managemnent at the camp, to SS Brigadefuhrer Kammler in which there is reference to a Vergasungskammer (gas chamber or cellar). There are also documents from February 1943 referring to the provision of gastight doors and windows. In a letter dated 31 March 1943 Bischoff presses for the delivery of a gastight door with a spyhole of 8mm glass, with a rubber seal and metal fitting. There is a timesheet of a construction worker which makes reference to fitting gastight windows to crematorium 4. Van Pelt pointed to a letter dated 6 March 1943 from Auschwitz to the Topf company which contemplated the use of hot air from the ventilators for the incinerators to pre-heat the Leichenkeller 1. Why, he asked, heat a morgue, which should be kept cool. Answering his own question, he claimed that Zyklon-B evaporates more quickly in high temperatures, so the killing process would be speeded up. (Irving answered that there is nothing sinister about heating the morgue: it was a requirement of good building practice in relation to civilian morgues).
7.69 Finally under this head the Defendants rely on a letter dated 28 June 1943 from Bischoff to Kammler (the authenticity of which Irving challenges) setting figures for the incineration capacity of the five crematoria, according to which their total capacity is 4756 people in every 24 hours. The Defendants' case is that this capacity was at that time deemed to be necessary to burn the bodies of the Jews who were to be brought to Auschwitz to be gassed. Basing themselves on the evidence of sonderkommandos such as Tauber, the Defendants say further that the rate of incineration was broadly in line with the estimate in the letter of 28 June 1943. The Defendants suggest that the apparent urgency of the installation of the ovens, together with their huge capacity which, according to van Pelt, was far in excess of what could possibly have been required to cope with future typhus epidemics, reflects the policy adopted following Himmler's visit to the camp in July 1942.

LETTER: What is Monsanto trying to hide?
Published: Monday, May 27, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, May 26, 2013 at 11:11 p.m.
Dear Editor: Did you know that as much as 80 percent of processed foods are made with genetically modified organisms?
What are GMOs? Here is a definition with an example from GMOfreeUSA.org:
"GMOs are made by forcing genes from one species into the DNA of an unrelated species in order to introduce a new trait ... This cannot occur in the natural world. For example: inserting a bacterial gene toxic to insects into (a) corn plant so that corn worms die when they attempt to eat the corn."
Monsanto is the largest company to produce GMO seeds — crops include corn, soy, yellow crook neck squash, zucchini and any derivative of those crops. Monsanto has never done long-term testing on humans to determine GMOs to be safe.
Why do we trust Monsanto with our food supply? At the very least, GMOs should be labeled. But here comes Monsanto, spending $8.1 million to defeat GMO labeling in California. What are they trying to hide?
On Saturday, there were to be more than 400 marches or demonstrations in 50 countries with 200,000-plus participants.
The goal of this movement is for people to start asking questions and seek the truth about GMOs and Monsanto. Join us online at march-against-monsanto.com or on Facebook or Twitter to show your support and bring awareness to GMOs and Monsanto.

Gilberto Santa Rosa's "The Man and His Music" show at Carnegie Hall should have been a major event, el concierto del año. It certainly had the aura of an occasion. Puerto Rico's crown prince of salsa came to town to play not the usual Latin music venues but the venerable temple of Euro-American concert music. Salsa's royalty, Tito Puente and Celia Cruz, were in the sold-out house to bestow their benediction, as was lesser luminary Tito Nieves and rocker David Byrne. And the "Man and His Music" concept was intended to display Santa Rosa's artistic reach, as well as the breadth of Puerto Rican music, from folkloric idioms to contemporary salsa.
But the high expectations were rarely fulfilled, and the show was mostly a letdown. Part of the problem was the house: Carnegie Hall is no place for amplified music, especially bottom-heavy styles like salsa. To avoid having the tumbaos turned into a booming echo by the hall's acoustics, the band kept the volume frustratingly low.
Moreover, the physical constraints imposed by the august surroundings discouraged the interaction with the fans that salsa thrives on. Nobody expected to dance in Carnegie's aisles, but when los cueros te llaman and you can't respond except by patting your foot or clapping along, a three hour show seems endless. At a club like the late lamented Village Gate you could at least drum on your table top, get up and move your butt, and, if you desired, head for the rear of the room to actually dance.
But even if Carnegie Hall hadn't had those built-in disadvantages the concert still would have disappointed because of Santa Rosa himself: the music he chose to perform and his own limitations as a performer.
Santa Rosa's 14-piece orchestra, conducted by Cucco Pena, was augmented by a string section, and this expanded aggregation gave the evening's first hint of what was to go wrong. Playing an overture of the singer's hits, they worked themselves up to a kitschy crescendo that evoked Ferrante and Teicher, those piano-pounding maestros of Hollywood mood music.
What followed was rarely as dismaying as that, but there was not a single moment that could be called transcendent, and Santa Rosa, at his best, is eminently capable of transcendence.
Instead of thrilling music, Santa Rosa delivered his Greatest Hits and non-musical routines designed to display his versatility as a performer. So "No Me Dejes Solo," a bomba, was interrupted by an actor, Julio Axel Landron, flamboyantly declaiming a bawdy poem by the Afro-Puerto Rican author Luis Pales Matos. For me the recitation got in the way of Santa Rosa and the music, and I came to dread each of Landron's frequent reappearances. Later in the show Santa Rosa delivered a mildly funny comic monologue and danced with women in the audience, one of whom was a "plant" a professional named Sonya Cortes, who joined him onstage.
Santa Rosa's recording strategy appears to be to do one commercial pop-salsa album for the fans, the next one for himself and his more discerning listeners. But he followed only one half of the game plan at Carnegie. Despite the "Man and His Music" theme, the evening's selections came mostly from two hit-laden albums, Perspectiva (1991) and Punto De Vista (1990). He performed only two numbers from his latest, the ambitious De Cara Al Viento, and nothing at all from his superb Tito Rodriguez tribute, A Dos Tiempos de un Tiempo. That seemed to be just fine with most of the audience; they received the De Cara songs "Suenos Son" and "Te Propongo" with polite applause but went wild for innocuous ear candy like "Conciencia" and "Vivir Sin Ella."
For this listener, the succession of mid-tempo, gently chugging salsas romanticos induced a profound, watch-checking boredom. I longed for a searing trumpet obligato, or a raging piano montuno, to blow away the air of polite restraint that kept the show from really taking off.
Santa Rosa has proved on his two best recordings that sophistication needn't come at the expense of passion. But that quality is precisely what Santa Rosa lacks as a performer. He comes off as a nice guy, sincere, humilde, and with a sense of humor. But exciting he isn't. In a recent review of De Cara Al Viento (Descarga 19), I noted that Santa Rosa is a "chubby, sometimes ungainly performer who projects little charisma or sexuality onstage." Seeing those words in print I felt I had been overly harsh. But the Carnegie gig convinced me I had been right. Santa Rosa does not command the stage like a star, or a great sonero, should. His dancing looks stiff and rehearsed, unlike Oscar D'Leon's hip-swinging abandon. In fact, his moves are basically dental he lets those pearly whites, wreathed by his thick black moustache, do most of the work. And a great smile is no substitute for sex, danger, drama.
Actually, I never really expected an ecstatic D'Leon-esque blowout from Santa Rosa. I did expect vocal pyrotechnics, and although he sang well, the bursts of inspired improvisation that usually characterize his shows, and which he generously provides on De Cara Al Viento, came much too infrequently.
If the show was mostly disappointing there were some rewards. Ismael Rivera's "Dime Porque" was a treat, and a welcome respite from the blandness of Santa Rosa's own material. There was also a hushed, almost sotto voce coda to "Perdoname" in which Santa Rosa delivered some of the improvisatory goods he'd stingily held back from us during most of the evening.
There was one other moment early in the show. Santa Rosa, in the middle of a number, strolled to the edge of the stage to receive flowers and a kiss from a female fan. When he leaned forward, still singing, to meet her lips, she snatched his red handkerchief from his breast pocket and ran up the aisle, waving it in triumph. Santa Rosa was momentarily nonplussed, but he recovered quickly and improvised a line about his missing pañuelo. Not that Santa Rosa should've spent the evening giving up haberdashery, but the show certainly would've benefited from more such spontaneity and surprise.

An Advocacy Call to the Nation
This post is written by Peter Bell, executive vice president for programs and services for Autism Speaks. He oversees the foundation's government relations and family services activities and also serves as an advisor to the science division. Peter and his family reside in New Jersey, his oldest son Tyler has autism.
At Autism Speaks, our goal is to change the future for all who struggle with autism spectrum disorders. To accomplish this mission, we have devoted much of our advocacy efforts over the last several years to ending the routine discrimination against people with autism by health insurers. To date, twenty-three states have enacted legislation requiring health plans to cover medically necessary, evidence-based autism treatments. Currently, the State of New York sits on the brink of passing what could become one of the most comprehensive state laws passed thus far.
For several years, families, legislators and advocacy organizations in New York have been working diligently towards the passage of meaningful autism insurance reform legislation. S7000B is the product of this mutual effort. Passed unanimously by both the New York Assembly and the New York Senate, this legislation would at long last require coverage of evidence-based treatments like speech therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy and applied behavior analysis. S7000B also insures that coverage for behavioral therapy cannot be denied because it is deemed educational or habilitative in nature. Just as important, the bill has no annual monetary coverage limitations or limits based upon age. It also contains provisions to ensure that existing services covered under health insurance as well as services provided through an individualized family service plan, an individual education plan or an individualized service plan are continued.
If you don't live in New York, you may be wondering what this legislation has to do with you. Although this bill originates in New York, advocacy from stakeholders all across the country is critical. Here's why:
If you happen to live in one of the twenty-three states that have enacted an autism insurance bill, then you know the impact this legislation can have on the families that now or soon will benefit. They will no longer need to worry about using all their financial resources to pay for evidence-based therapies that their children with autism need.
If you live in one of the twenty-six states that have not yet passed autism insurance reform, then you know the heartbreak a family faces when they receive denial after denial from their insurance company for treatments their child needs to live a full life, join their peers in school, and interact with their siblings. And, if you have a health plan that is not covered by state law (if, for example, your employer has a self-funded or ERISA plan), then your help is needed most of all. Enactment of autism insurance reform in New York will mean that our community is one step closer to being able to make the case for reform at the federal level. Federal autism insurance reform will ensure that every family in America will get the insurance coverage for autism therapies that they need and deserve.
At the end of the day, it all comes down to ending the discrimination families living with the challenges of autism face when dealing with health plans. As one New York father pointed out to me recently, individuals with autism are simply looking for equality. He went on to emphasize how this piece of legislation would require coverage for evidenced based treatments, equality in its truest sense. He spoke from an extremely personal place, sharing how last year he was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. His course of treatment, which was evidence-based, was covered by his health insurance and because of this treatment, he is doing well. He went on to ask the obvious question: why his beautiful nine year-old son with autism was not afforded the same opportunity?
It's time for this discrimination to stop. You can help by emailing Governor David Paterson and urging him to sign S.7000B into law. He needs to hear from you – as a member of the nationwide community of families and loved ones of individuals with autism – even if you do not live in New York. Please take two minutes to make a difference today.
Please help us today in New York to create a better tomorrow for families in all states. Thank you.

The impact of the lack of insurance coverage on families is enormous. Just did an article where 3 families share their stories of the impact: http://www.thespecialguide.com/bloglist.php Each cites lesser coverage and higher premiums compared to before. Don't know if an email from a person in Georgia would do any good, but will surely send one to Gov. Paterson.

Dear Governor Paterson,
As the parent of a 24-year-old son with Asperger's syndrome, it is a difficult road to navigate. Insurance coverage for families with members on "the Spectrum" is crucially needed. As a resident of Massachusetts and a volunteer at AANE (Asperger's Association of New England) I witness the continuous flow of individuals and families frustrated by the lack of affordable insurance coverage.
I urge you to sign S.7000B into law. This would ease the burden of so many families who are struggling to help their loved ones to get the services they so very much need.

I have a 13 year old son who was diagnosed PDD/NOS and ADHD a few years ago. Yes… families with children on teh spectrum do need full insuramce coverage to cover them medically. I know the battle we go through emotionally and psychically to make sure our children get the rights they deserve. Having a son on the spectrum I know first-hand the stuff they go through just in society alone, not to mention they cant get coverage for medical and not all families qualify for government programs such as medicaid where teh expiences are covered.
They also need to set forth a plan to get more qualified teachers in the public school system to teach the classes becasue they tend to toss kids on the spectrum on regular classrooms with teachers who do not know the proper way to care for the children. With a child who is autistic they cant not be handled the way the "average" child can be handled ot talked to. So if anyone can help me also find help for my son at school I would greatly appreciate it. I live in Alabama.
October 14, 2010 at 12:35 pm
This is a terrific and important post, Peter. Just today, I got a call from the parent of a recently diagnosed child who was very clearly overwhelmed (as I was nearly two decades ago), not only by the number of choices he and his family face, but by the astronomical costs involved in providing the medically necessary and recommended therapy to his daughter. Even though he lives in a State that has passed insuance legislation (IL), and has a good job, his employer sponsored insurance won't cover therapy. If that's not discrimination, then I don't know what is.
The carve-outs demanded by the insurance lobby and Chamber of Commerce that were agreed to by advocates in order to keep the the IL bill from being killed outright (as it had been for many, many years prior to enactment), resulted in a situation where only 17% of the families who ought to get reimbursement will actually see a check. That's a real problem and why we need a federal solution. We got the best we could here in IL but it's clearly not right and not enough…but it is a start.
I think New Yorkers would be well served to get the camel's nose under the tent with S7000B and work hard going forward for a national solution to end this discrimination. Don't let striving for the perfect prevent the good from happening.

See "Autism Home Healthcare Staffing Realities" on You Tube for an insight look at how hard families have to fight for obvious needs. Here's a family that shows that they have a child who would cost state of California over 356,000 yr. PLUS (plus, meaning the basic cost of institutional care isn't factoring in the 1:1 this autistic patient would need). This family is willing to KEEP the child at HOME, which saves the state over 200,000 a year, yet the state agency charged with duty to provide home health care under Olmstead Act and other laws, is actually FIGHTING this family, and telling them, "we aren't equipped to help you….you should place your son in an institution until the budget cuts are over." As if they will ever be over. What is so news worthy about this story/case, is that the FAMILY has managed to do what GOVERNMENT has FAILED to do: keep their high risk, costly child at HOME. Yet, despite the family doing the job government can't do, the same government FIGHTS the family and tells them, "we can't offer you more than 12,000 dollars a month in home health care services," though the cost of OUT of home care costs would be around $33,000 month!. Now, that is clearly a REASON why California continues to be one of the states that just doesn't understand how to SAVE money.
Source: Basic cost for institutional care at Fairview Developmental Center is around 356,000 per year, NOT including 1:1 or 2:1 overtime costs paying extra nurses and staff at institution to care for the type of autistic person portrayed in this and other videos on you tube under cdfoakley and kgaccount. The cost to KEEP this type of autistic person at HOME is FAR less than what it would cost to place him OUT of home. Keep in mind, this person portrayed in videos is OVER 18, so family does NOT have to keep him at home. But they are willing. A rare case indeed, which is a case study in cost effective in home care vs. out of long term nursing care expenses. So the question remains, if California officials do NOT provide this family with needed in HOME supports (nursing assessments repeatedly assessed this case at 2:1) then the state will be paying FAR more than what they need to pay to KEEP the child at HOME. It's RARE to find families that are WILLING to keep an autistic patient with this HIGH level of care at HOME. So instead of supporting this family, the state pushes them to place the child? How does that make economic sense?

This is Very Important To The future Of Autistic patients and Those alike. Would It Not Be Cheaper On The states,as well As The families that provide this much needed insurance for the life long care & therapy that most require?
it certainly would be a very foolish mistake not to pass it.

That is so untrue. This legislation will enhance services being delivered through an IEP or IFSP, and will not interfere with these services.

Dear Governor Paterson:
Receiving a diagnosis of autism for your child is one of the most devastating experiences one can go through. In an instant, the course of life for the child receiving the diagnosis as well as the entire family is altered. There are more questions than answers and seeking an effective direction for treatment is extremely challenging. What is known is that best outcomes are typically achieved with early and intensive intervention, but you question which way to turn, and you are keenly aware that the clock is ticking. Living with autism is a 24/7 challenge. The families physical homes look like everyone else's, but the lives that are lived there are vastly different. Home life is chaotic and there is no time to take a break or rest even when you are ill. Their children require assistance to learn even simple tasks that typical children and people take for granted…how to communicate, eat, sleep through the night, bathe, toilet, and dress themselves. They may need to be taught to play with toys and tolerate, much less enjoy leisure skills. They even need to learn how to make a friend. This is heartbreaking for families. There are often challenging, bizarre, and repetitive behaviors to deal with. Some of the children are violent to themselves and others. Some of the parents work on these skills with their children throughout their lifespan. Some of them never master these tasks and do not become fully independent. Siblings are affected and marriages can be strained to the breaking point.
The issues become even more complex in different ways as the children age. Finding qualified people to educate and take care of their children is tremendously difficult. This only gets more challenging because although their children get older and transition into adolescence and adulthood, many require constant supervision. Extended family members that used to be able to offer support age themselves and are no longer able to help. Who do you call to watch your adult loved one with autism so you can go to a work function, doctor's appointment, or to take a much needed break? The families' fears for the future of their children are overwhelming and they lack peace of mind. They realize that they cannot live forever and worry about their vulnerable children living in a world without them. Where will they live? Who will care for them when they are sick? Who will love them?
Autism is a complex neurobiological disorder that typically lasts throughout a person's lifetime. It is the fastest growing developmental disability in the world. According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), autism affects 1 in 110 children, making it more common than pediatric cancer, diabetes and AIDS combined. It occurs in all racial, ethnic and social groups, and is four times more likely to strike in boys than girls. There is no medical detection or cure for Autism.
Children on the autism spectrum demonstrate deficits in social interaction and in communication, and show repetitive behaviors or interests. Symptoms range from mild to severe and vary with each child. In New York State and elsewhere, families of children with autism have sought out treatments. No one treatment is perfect for every child, but speech, occupational and physical therapy have produced gains. Children with autism have also benefited from psychological and psychiatric services, as well as from pharmacological interventions. Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), which is an evidenced-based behavioral intervention, is the treatment of choice for many children with autism. In addition, early intervention is critical to gain maximum benefit from existing therapies. With early intervention, a sizable minority of children diagnosed with autism are able to achieve age appropriate educational and intellectual functioning. With good health care, children with autism can make remarkable strides.
Many New York children are not now receiving the services that would help them, while others are receiving care at ruinous financial cost to their families. In the case of a child with autism, doing without care or diluting care could mean the loss of critical opportunities to ameliorate the devastating effects of the condition. Families are forced to cope with delayed, inadequate and fragmented care and often pay for costly interventions out of pocket or forego them. Families across the state believe the pertinent question in the discussion regarding individuals with autism is not whether we can afford to provide appropriate interventions but rather, whether we can afford not to.
Of course the cost of healthcare and other services is but one measure of the cost of autism. Another measure is the emotional cost of the condition, a measure than cannot readily be quantified. Whatever calculus is used, there can be no doubt that savings lie in reducing autisms toll. Ending discrimination against our children with autism is not only a wise investment; it also will ensure that every one of our children, including those with autism, has the best chance to reach their full potential.
For the past few years, advocates for the autism community have been working on a state by state initiative to end autism insurance discrimination in our country. Today, 23 states have enacted laws similar to S7000B/A10372A. Individuals, families and advocates, along with the most respected national and state autism organizations support this legislation. Some examples are: The New York State Medical Society, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the New York State Association of Behavior Analysts (NYSABA), the Autism Research Foundation, the AHA-NY, ASAT and Autism Speaks.
In June of this year, the NYS Senate and Assembly unanimously passed S7000B/A10372A, and on October 8th the bill was delivered to you for your consideration. We respectfully ask that you sign it into law and make NYS the 24th state to end autism insurance discrimination. S7000B / A10372A stands as one of the strongest bills in the nation. For years, we have been asking that people with autism spectrum disorder simply be treated fairly by health plans in the state of New York. We are not asking for special treatment — just equality – an end to the discrimination that precludes people with ASD from accessing evidence based interventions like speech, OT, PT and behavioral therapies like Applied Behavior Analysis, just a level playing field. This landmark legislation does just that.
New York State spends an average of between $3-4 million dollars on an individual with autism across their lifespan. It is not only morally right, but fiscally prudent to enact a law that will end autism insurance discrimination in NYS.

Places like Kaiser Permanente and their "thrive" slogan are a joke. When it comes to treating autistic patients, Kaiser has displayed a "failure to thrive" attitude towards autistic patients, considering them to be just, well, "autistic," and thus not worthy of much more than doping them up and getting them the hell outta the office and back home, outta sight, outta mind. And even when good doctors within kaiser try to help the autistic patients, they are pressured to provide the bare minimum clinical evaluations to save money, which is idiotic because in the end, the autistic patient who is NOT properly and effectively treated, COSTS MORE to kaiser than if they wouldn't taken time to pour themselves into ruling out underlying causes, etc…of fueling etiologies to things like aggressive or self harm behaviors. Kaiser really needs to be educated on severely autistic patients. They just don't get them. And are definately not set up to meet their specialized care needs. The federal government should be granting Kaiser money to set up a small specialized ward in each major hospital, for Kasier autistic patients.

patient care at Kaiser? Go to youtube and type in "shocking patient neglect of autistic person" WOW

Zoos: Saviors of Threatened Species or Creators of Unnatural Ones?
A new species of lion has recently been discovered, announced the National Geographic Society a few weeks ago. Were the animals caught by camera trap or spotted by a tracker in the remote regions of Africa? No. They were found — in all places — in an Ethiopian zoo. It's questionable whether any other representatives of this species are alive in the wild today.
All over the world, the struggle to keep endangered species from going extinct is often played out in zoos or in captive breeding centers. The last known Tasmanian tiger lived out its life in a zoo before it died in 1936, giant pandas are being bred in Chinese reserves and whooping cranes are being raised at the Patuxent Wildlife Research Center in Maryland.
Living in zoos or in other places of captivity, however, changes wild animals — sometimes to the point where behaviorally they little resemble their wild counterparts. But is keeping an altered, threatened wild species from going extinct better than losing it altogether?

PARKERSBURG - Laser Tag and Miniature Golf fans in the Mid-Ohio Valley have a new place to go.
Funderdome Laser Tag and Indoor Golf at 113 Ann St. opened its doors Sept. 22 and plans to hold its grand opening today from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
The opening of Funderdome brings the first-ever 3-D laser tag arena in West Virginia in an industry that has seen rapid growth in recent years, said Grant Fischer, managing partner. Although there are other laser tag facilities in West Virginia, none have the 3-D art this one has, he added.

Grant Fischer stands in what will be one of the sections of the laser tag facility at the Funderdome in Parkersburg.
''Laser tag is the main focus of the new business, which is why a brand new and larger laser tag arena was built when the business changed," Fischer said. "All of the professional arenas are built in one large room instead of a sequence of rooms like the previous business had set up.
''In order to create an arena of this magnitude, we had to use the only space that had this potential."
The site of this facility was previously home to an arcade with games, an inflatable and laser tag. Fischer said the new facility was completely different in that they aren't offering inflatables or an arcade at this time, but plans are in place to eventually have an arcade.
''Laser tag is and always will be our focus,'' he said. ''That is why we built the arena in the largest room where they had the arcade and inflatables instead of the small space where the laser tag was originally located.''
The space allowed them to have a bigger main arena
''I was a fan of the previous business but knew it could have a lot more potential if there was more of a focus on one activity instead of several and laser tag always seemed busy and was our favorite thing to do indoors for fun,'' Fischer said. I also have seen some really neat places and wanted to attempt my own.''
The arena is complete with 3D props, such as large gears, steel beams, radioactive barrels and more. The game can be played in team, team-base and free-for-all settings.
"It is like its own world and a truly unique experience," Fischer said. "The days of having a few walls and some neon paint throw up are over. This is how most of the newer arenas are being built in order to create a whole new reality just like a video game will do.
''Only in this video game, you are actually inside the game. And to answer a question we always get, 'no,' it does not hurt. The laser that emits from the laser gun is a light beam similar to a laser pointer."
Each player suits up with a vest and the laser gun is connected directly to the vest. Each vest has several LED colored lights that light up during the game so players know which team they are on and where to aim. The system is a radio frequency system, featuring real-time scoring that is displayed throughout the game on each player's vest. To complete the vest, each contains speakers on the shoulders that relay messages to players to let them know when they have been shot, knocked into stun mode or have successfully tagged another player.
The laser tag experience comes full circle with a built-in sound system that announces when a team takes the lead, it's a tie or close game, when a team is given a power upgrade and more.
In addition to laser tag, Funderdome also features indoor miniature golf.
"We have made some changes already, and plan to do a full makeover of the course now that we have completed the laser tag phase,'' Fischer said. ''We hope to have it completed by winter along with more and larger party rooms and a common area with billiards, shuffleboard, and even a space to have bands play after hours on a weekly basis."

As a veterinarian in South Dakota, the majority of Dr. Joe Spoo's four-legged clients are of the hunting variety.
Spoo says that the number-one problem with the hunting dogs that come in to his office for their pre-season check-up is that they are out of shape.
"We expect these dogs to go from couch potatoes to world-class athletes overnight," says Spoo. "This isn't practical and definitely isn't safe for the dog. Hunting dogs love what they do to the point that they will literally run themselves to death."
Spoo says that heat, treacherous water conditions, and a number of long retrieves are just a few of the situations that can get a dog in trouble, and the hunter needs to be the thinking, rational member of the team.
Spoo says that pre-season training sessions and routine exercise are the only way to make sure that your retriever is in proper shape come opening day. But if your dog is not a hunting performance level, Spoo highly recommends taking things slowly during the first few weeks of the season.
"This may mean that your first outings aren't as long or as productive," says Spoo. "However, it could mean the difference between life and death for your hunting partner."

West Alabama women fall in Gulf South title game
Published: Monday, March 11, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, March 10, 2013 at 11:02 p.m.
BIRMINGHAM | Alabama-Huntsville gave West Alabama a taste of its own medicine in Sunday's Gulf South Conference women's basketball championship game, parlaying a tenacious defense into an 18-point halftime lead and never looking back on the way to defeating the Tigers 82-59.
In winning its first two games in the conference tournament West Alabama had given up an average of just 46.5 points per game. UAH led 48-30 at the half and limited the Tigers to 32 percent shooting for the game.
West Alabama ends its season 14-15. Alabama-Huntsville, which outrebounded the Tigers 50-31, advances to NCAA Region play later this week with a 15-16 record.
Nikkia Jordan ended her UWA career by scoring a game-high 30 points. Jamie Gunter chipped in 13 points for the Tigers. Jordan and Brittany Weathers made the all-tournament team.
Jasmine Hammond and Jordan Smith both scored 17 points to lead Alabama-Huntsville.

OAKLAND -- One of the nation's most accomplished police chiefs still wants to help turn around Oakland's beleaguered force despite boisterous protests against him and wavering support from at least two council members.
"I'm still very desirous of working in Oakland," Former NYPD and LAPD Chief Bill Bratton said Wednesday. "I think the assistance that I can provide will be of value to the city."
Bratton's repeated support for "stop and frisk" police tactics has spurred vocal opposition to a $250,000 contract for him and associates to help design and implement a crime-fighting strategy for California's most violent city.
The City Council is scheduled to vote on the contract next week.
Dozens of protesters, many of them with ties to Occupy Oakland, meowed, hissed and cursed as the council's Public Safety Committee considered the contract on Tuesday. Many of the roughly 80 speakers urged council members to reject Bratton, saying that he would provide political cover for police to implement more aggressive street tactics.
The boisterous opposition appeared to make an impact.
The four-member committee agreed to recommend that the full City Council approve the consulting contract, but at the insistence of newly-elected council members Dan Kalb and Lynette Gibson McElhaney, the recommendation didn't specifically call for Bratton to be part of the consulting team.
Neither council member ruled out ultimately supporting Bratton, but they questioned whether he could help build community trust when he is such a controversial figure.
"He may be the best," Gibson McElhaney said. "But is he bringing so much baggage to this table ... that he will not be effective?"
Council members Noel Gallo and Libby Schaaf supported keeping Bratton as part of the consulting team.
"This man is the best of the best," Schaaf said. "His track record in reducing crime is second to none."
Bratton, who did not attend Tuesday's meeting, said he would be able to handle protesters during public meetings he would have to convene as a consultant.
"I've been in policing for 40 years in some of the most difficult cities in America, so I'm pretty good at dealing with the community," he said.
Bratton is perhaps the best known name in American law enforcement. His tenures in New York City and Los Angeles were marked major reductions in crime and increased public support for the police departments. In Los Angeles he won accolades from the ACLU for a dramatic reduction in police-related complaints.
Oakland is searching for outside help for an undermanned department that is struggling in multiple areas. Police have failed to win the trust of minority communities and combat a 23 percent spike in violent crime.
The controversy over Bratton stems from his support for "stop and frisk" -- a tactic that has become synonymous with giving police more latitude to stop and search potential suspects.
Critics say it results in racial profiling; a federal judge last week struck down a key component of New York's program.
Oakland's police department already is facing increasing federal oversight over a stalled reform effort that stems from a group of rogue police officers accused of beating up and framing drug suspects.
Civil Rights Attorney Dan Siegel told council members that bringing in Bratton was tantamount to "thumbing your nose" at the federal judge who is overseeing the reforms.
In an interview last month, Bratton acknowledged that stop and frisk is "an issue" in Oakland, but defended the practice as a basic tool of policing. "The challenge is to make sure they're doing it lawfully and compassionately," he said. "It can't just be in certain areas of the city."
City leaders tried to temper concerns about Bratton on Tuesday. Chief Howard Jordan issued a written statement declaring that while all police departments routinely stop suspects, he won't allow "zero-tolerance" policing tactics in the city.
Robert Wasserman, the city's police consultant who recommended bringing Bratton to Oakland as part of his team, told council members Tuesday that stop and frisk wasn't on the agenda and that citizens would play a key role in making recommendations. "Nothing will get implemented that will not fit the Oakland environment," he said.
Wasserman said that Bratton could provide expertise in implementing neighborhood policing and strengthening the department's connection with residents.
Should the full council reject Bratton, Wasserman said he would find someone else to join his consulting team. "Bratton isn't the biggest piece in this," he said. "The biggest piece of this is getting the long-term strategy that the community has to articulate and work out."

after a fairly straight forward first set, the boys really go off in the second. peaches en regalia is always a favorite opener of mine. mound works well next, but then the boys go off on a very nice romp through tweezer. in a year full of weird and crazy tweezer jams, this one really stands out. these norwegian wood teases are very nice. i like they way they work those in the tweezer jams, both here and in red rocks '96. anyway, here, they take it all over the place before landing in the bbfcfm/makisupa land. they keep that funk/reggae feel going into nicu before twisting back into the tweezer them. this one slows down and works its way into a very inspired jesus left chicago. hood, of course, works after jesus. good version with some nice page work. the rest of the show is pretty straight forward.
i would classify this one as a must hear. this tweezer, in some circles, is over shadowed by bozeman, dallas, and bangor, but don't let this one slip through the cracks. it's a marvelous group effort, and it is the last great '94 tweezer.

There's nothing fishermen like better than an uncluttered cockpit, except maybe a trophy fish to wire. The Rampage 45 Convertible has 130 sq. ft. (12 sq. meters.) of fishing area and two removable fishboxes in the sole. Both have macerators and drain overboard to keep the bilges sweet. An aluminum plate is molded in for mounting a fighting chair.
The Roots of Rampage
Long-time fishermen remember when Rampage, then based in New England, built small, tough coastwise fishing boats, competitors to Grady-White, Pursuit and Boston Whaler. The boats were excellent for racing over the typical choppy waters of Block Island Sound or Massachusetts Bay, and for the occasional foray offshore chasing larger prey.
That was more than 25 years ago, and, like the rest of us, Rampage has moved on and grown larger since then: After a stop in North Carolina, Rampage now builds their boats, from 30' to 45', in Oconto, Wisconsin, and has long been owned by KCS International. During the last decade KCS has come on strong as one of America's highest quality boat builders for both express cruisers (Cruisers Yachts) and fishboats like the Rampage 45 Convertible. Oconto is on Green Bay, a body of water that can be as nasty as any ocean, so it's a fine place for sea trials as well as boatbuilding.
Even with a compact fighting chair mounted, there's still room for the mate to move around the cockpit. The bait-prep center is tucked against the bulkhead, and there's easy engine access via the large hatch with the circular fire port. The flying bridge ladder is necessarily steep to keep it as unobtrusive as possible, but Rampage adds hefty handrails for extra security.
Construction and Rigging
Any decent fishing boat has to be able to take more abuse than the crew that rides on her, and Rampage has always been known for tough boats. The 45 Convertible is built using proven fiberglass technology: Her hull has a solid fiberglass bottom laminated with stitched biaxial fabrics and premium resin; stitched fabrics retain less excess resin than woven fabrics, reducing weight while maintaining strength. The bottom is supported by molded fiberglass stringers, foam-filled for added stiffness.
The topsides are cored, with solid blocks at all through-hull fittings to prevent water sneaking under the fittings into the core. Structural bulkheads are composite, encapsulated in fiberglass. Rampage covers the 45 Convertible with a five-year structural warranty that's transferable to a subsequent owner.
This is an unusual flying bridge helm console and we like it. First, the steering wheel is mounted almost level, the most comfortable angle. Second, we like the navigator's seat outboard with both parties able to easily view the nav screens. This keeps the skipper on the centerline, with easy egress from the chair should he need a closer look at the action in the cockpit. And we love all the room for nav displays, one of which we'd make a top-line fishfinder. There's rod stowage up here, too.
It's important to build a sportfisherman like this one with an eye to blister prevention: Boats of this type are frequently used year-round, and mostly in warm water where the fishing is best. Both factors increase the possibility of blisters. Rampage laminates the 45 Convertible with a premium resin, combined with high-grade gelcoat backed by a vinylester barrier coat. Before applying antifouling, the company further seals the bottom with a layer of epoxy primer, an important step often overlooked by some builders and boatyards. Rampage provides a pound of cure with a three-year warranty against gelcoat blisters below the waterline.
Side-by-side head compartments make plumbing easier, which also makes maintaining and repairing it easier. Both heads have separate showers, too. The guest cabin has fore and aft single berths, which can convert to a queen when needed. We like the galley in the deckhouse, where there's more room and a better view of what's happening aft.
The 45 Convertible will sleep six or seven in two cabins and the salon, where there's 6' 7" (2 m) headroom. Too many builders today, in our opinion, arrange their sportfishermen with all queen or double berths – but where do single people sleep? Fishermen don't want to share berths, and in the 45 Convertible they don't have to: The guest cabin has fore-and-aft singles with an optional athwartships Pullman berth that folds down from the bulkhead, so three people can sleep in this space. We like this arrangement, but would like it better if Rampage, and other builders, would go one more step and offer the option of V-berths, or over and under berths forward, instead of an island double. Now that would be a real sportfishing cabin.
The U-shaped galley is best for working in offshore, with bracing on three sides for the cook. It has SubZero refrigerator/freezer drawers, a two-burner cooktop and a microwave oven. And a coffeemaker. Rampage equips the 45 Convertible with a Kohler 13-kW genset as standard, so you can run all your appliances offshore. The 32" TV to starboard is also standard, part of a well-equipped entertainment center.
The L-lounge aft converts to a double sleeper; there's rod stowage underneath. Joinery throughout the accommodations is cherry; the soles are carpeted throughout, but teak is optional in the salon only. Two reverse-cycle 16,000-Btu Cruisair A/C units keep things cool, or warm, as necessary.
Power and Performance
Rampage offers three power choices, all by Caterpillar: The base engines are twin 715-hp C-12 ACERTS, with upgrades to 865-hp C-15s or 1,015-hp C-18s. We haven't tested the boat with any of these diesels, but we did run a 45 Convertible a few years back with twin 800-hp Cat 3106s. Our captain measured a top speed of 35 knots, well over the magic 30-knot speed that most sportfishermen demand. Best cruise was around 25 knots, with 332 n.m. range, but anything up to 30 knots was almost as good.
The forward cabin is pretty standard, but Rampage has done a good job of fitting lockers into the bow flare. There's stowage under the berth, which has a memory-foam mattress and comes with a comforter, pillows and shams. A TV is optional here. We'd like another option: V-berths rather than the island queen, for hard-core fishermen, with rod racks overhead.
We can't say definitively how the boat will fare with the 715-hp Cats, but we expect she'll still break 30 knots; however, we recommend upgrading to the middle-sized C-15s if you can, just to have a bit more gumption if you need it. We are hoping to get our hands on this boat again soon, and will publish new numbers when we do.
Here's our favorite thing about the 45 Convertible's accommodations, and it's an option: In the guest cabin Rampage will install a Pullman berth athwart and above the two singles, making this a three-sleeper cabin for single folks, or kids. We love this, and we'd even manage to climb into the upper berth if need be.
Notice we didn't mention "pods." This boat was designed before they arrived on the scene, and relies on classic midships engine placement, straight shafts with props and rudders. If you think only pods can make a boat maneuverable, you should spend some time watching pro fishing captains pirouette their vessels around tight marinas, or spin them on dimes chasing trophy fish. They don't need pods – they have skill, and with enough practice you won't need pods either -- and it will save you a lot of money on the purchase price.
Rampage has been building the 45 Convertible for years, and it's one of the company's most popular models. It's a traditional sportfisherman built on a design that's proven successful for decades all over the world. Owners coming down from huge battlewagons will appreciate the lower operating costs, to say nothing of the lower price, of the Rampage 45.
If you're ready to move up into a serious fishboat, but have been blown away by the prices for large convertibles by well-known brands, then perhaps you should be investigating the Rampage 45. She is big enough to go most anywhere, and she is built to all of the important quality and strength standards as are the big three. When it comes to fit-and-finish and the quality of her gelcoat and glass work, Rampage takes a back seat to no brand, in our opinion.
MSRP of the 2011 Rampage 45 Convertible with twin 715-hp Caterpillar C-12s, EC and trolling valves, is $952,635.
