alles war schön: saubere Wohnung, zentrale Lage, tolle Terrasse, alle Geschäfte und U-Bahn in der Nähe usw. Danke!!!
We had a great week in the apartment of Monica. The location is nice in a pleasant residential area, yet close to the center. The metro and train are a 10 min walk away. From the airport can be reached by train. The apartment the best Then you nowhere to move. The apartment is genuine welcome and well cleaned. Everything is in place and the roof terrace is lovely to unwind. Monica is pleasant, helpful and decisively. If something does not work, the corrected right. A total of five people in the apartment are present 2x2 and 1x1 rooms. If everything goes smoothly depends therefore on the inmates. And there you have it just bad luck or happiness everywhere. We have been fine. Gisèle Snelder
We hebben een geweldige week gehad in het appartement van Monica. De ligging is leuk in een gezellige woonwijk maar toch vlak bij het centrum. De metro en de trein zijn op zo'n 10 min loopafstand. Vanaf het vliegveld is het appartement het beste te bereiken met de trein . Dan hoef je nergens over te stappen. Het appartement is verzogd en wordt goed schoon gemaakt. Alles is aanwezig en het dakterras is heerlijk om even bij te komen. Monica is prettig, hulpvaardig en kordaat. Als er iets niet werkt, wordt het gelijk verholpen.
Er kunnen in totaal 5 mensen in het appartement aanwezig zijn 2x2 en 1x1 kamers. Of alles soepel verloopt hangt daarmee ook af van de medebewoners. En daar kun je net als overal pech of geluk mee hebben.
Wij hebben het er prima gehad. Gisèle Snelder
Big thank's for monica she was very helpfull, was internet, kitchen and shower.
All what we need was just outside, shops, metro, la sagrada familia even more.
Good place if need place just for sleep, after hard day on downtown.
We are there 3 person and we are happy, bed was small for 3, we know that and just 4 nights that not big problem.
Nice apartment, we felt very at ease. The terrace is certainly a value as well as the small amenities like coffee, sugar ...
Leuk appartement, we voelden ons erg op ons gemak. Het terras is zeker een meerwaarde alsook de kleine voorzieningen zoals koffie, suiker ...
Although I've been at Monica's appartament only for 3 nights I can describe my stay as joyful. Flat is really green and clean, small additives for guests like sugar, tea, coffee - fresh towels - are awfully nice and useful. Metro and shops are pretty close. I can fully recomend.
Apartment is very nice, clean, well cared for. The hotel has a bathroom kitchen patio so you can feel at ease and comfortable. Located in the center of Barcelona, close to the subway and shopping. Monika is a very friendly host. I would recommend this location and the host ;)
Mieszkanie bardzo ładne, czyste, zadbane. Do dyspozycji gości jest łazienka kuchnia taras dzięki czemu można czuć się swobodnie i komfortowo. Położone w centrum Barcelony blisko stacji metra i sklepów. Monika jest bardzo przyjaznym gospodarzem. Polecam tą lokalizacje i tego gospodarza;)
we had a very nice stay here!It is very clean, the room itself is spacious, good wifi connection and a nice balcony!The metro is very close by, 5 minutes walk.In addition, a 15-minute walk from the Sagrada Familia.
This was our first stay in an accommodation like this. Upon our arrival we were shown our room, and got a tour through an appartment. Place was clean and ready for guests.

Holocaust Denial on Trial, Trial Judgment: Electronic Edition, by Charles GrayTable of Contents

Description of the camp and overview of the principal issue
7.1 Auschwitz is a small town in the region of Upper Silesia in Poland, which was annexed by the Third Reich when Poland fell in 1940. Hitler entrusted Reichsfuhrer-SS Himmler with the task of "Germanising" the annexed territories. His original plan to repopulate with Germans places such as Auschwitz, deporting Poles and Jews to the eastern sector of the General Government to make way for the Germans, proved not to be feasible. So the decision was taken to set up a concentration camp in a suburb of the town.
7.2 The Auschwitz camp area was located in a fork between the River Vistula in the west and the River Sola in the east. Part of the camp area also extended across the River Sola on its eastern bank. Surrounding the camp was an agricultural area which was originally designated to be worked by ethnic German farmers. Within the fork between the two rivers was a zone which extended to some fifteen square miles. All civilians had been deported from this area which was now controlled by the SS. This zone and its surrounding area served many purposes and forms of activity, including an experimental farm, a forced labour pool for the chemical company plant which IG Farben was planning to construct nearby at Monowitz and other industrial concerns. The town of Auschwitz was outside the concentration camp area. It is located on the eastern side of the River Sola. To the east of the town was the IG Farben Buna Factory beside which was the labour camp. The whole area and system of camps is collectively referred to as 'Auschwitz'.
7.3 Within the overall camp was a smaller security area which was surrounded by guard posts. This area contained the two main camps that formed part of Auschwitz. To the eastern side of the River Vistula there was Birkenau (also known as Auschwitz II). This was the principal camp where most of the extermination occurred. Approximately two kilometres to the east of Birkenau, separated from it by a railway corridor, was the smaller camp known variously as Auschwitz, Auschwitz I or the Stammlager. The headquarters of the camp were situated here. Located at a point along the railway line between Auschwitz and Birkenau was the ramp at which trains transporting Jews would halted. Later a spur was built, linking Birkenau to the railway and providing a further terminus.
7.4 Auschwitz fell within the jurisdiction of Himmler, who was in overall charge of the establishment and running of concentration camps. Heydrich, Chief of the Security Police and the SD and Head of the RSHA, reported directly to Himmler. Eichmann, who worked within the RSHA, also reported to Himmler, was entrusted in 1941 with responsibility for the carrying out and co-ordinating of the Final Solution. SS Obergruppenfuhrer Oswald Pohl was Head of the Economic and Administrative Office of the SS which had executive responsibility for the running of the labour camps. SS Hauptsturmbannfuhrer Rudolf Hoss was installed as Camp Commandant of Auschwitz in May 1941 and continued in a leading capacity throughout the period when, on the Defendants' case most of the gassings took place (with the exception of a period in 1943-4 when he was posted to Berlin to work in the Concentration Camp Inspectorate). The camp was manned by the SS. But the assistance of Jewish inmates was enlisted to perform some of the more grisly tasks in the crematoria. They were called Sonderkommando. About 200 worked in each cremaorium. They were housed either in the crematoria where they worked or in special barracks. At periodic intervals, many of the Sonderkommando were themselves gassed and replaced by other inmates.
7.5 It is common ground that from the autumn of 1941 large numbers of Jews were deported to Auschwitz from Germany and from the eleven other countries which had been occupied or formed part of Nazi controlled Europe. The overall question which I have to decide is whether the available evidence, considered in its totality, would convince any objective and reasonable historian that Auschwitz was not merely one of the many concentration or labour camps established by the Nazi regime but that it also served as a death or extermination camp, where hundreds of thousands of Jews were systematically put to death in gas chambers over the period from late 1941 until 1944.

Coyote wriggling post
Cheoah Snow Slide" to anyone else?
It makes me think that, when our dogs wriggle in the snow, it might have more meaning than we think. They might not simply be acting silly!

That last photo is so incredible that it actually hurts. Does that make sense.
Unbeleiveably beautiful.

Wow, I'm so glad I decided to check out your blog tonight. I am fascinated with the coyote photos - I kept scrolling up and down, looking at them again and again. I'm fascinated with how much that behavior reminds me of Lady - in fact that snow slide photo could be her. I never dreamed this was some sort of instinctive behavior that dogs have been doing for eons. I always just thought she was itchy when she does that.
And the coyotes, with their lives in the dark, cold night, just fascinate me in general. And the deer photo - wonderful! And THEN I get to that last photo - wow, wow, wow! There really aren't words adequate to respond. Breathtaking.

That sky shot is really a true stunner! I'd frame that one.
It's always interesting to see the transfer of behaviors between our dogs and their wild cousins. At least it is to me! I'm not sure I'd always want to know what my dogs are thinking, but there are some times when I really would!

I was just thinking how wonderful it is that you have a trail camera to capture all this magic!
To think all the rolling around in the snow is happening all the time, but more than that- you understand the "whys" and reasons they do it.
We love the photos of the bob cat and coyotes, and of course that beautiful dual!

K and R looking splendid in silhouette! I love the deer picture too.
The coyotes are having a time, aren't they? I never thought of some deep reason they rolled. Just thought they liked to pick up a little eau de forest!

What exciting pictures of the coyotes and the bobcat. Very nice! Just now we have hunting season of our bobcat ( I think it is a little bit smaller than yours). It´s a short time to hunt them and each county must apply for how many they can shoot.

RATIBOR (January 1, 2013)--Eddy Lange chose a place to start his new job that many people never heard of, but the outcome was the same.
Just moments after midnight Tuesday morning Lange officially became the new Bell County Sheriff, replacing Dan Smith, who retired after hold the office for 28 years.
Lange told the crowd gathered at the Ratibor Bar and Grill that he'd get right to work Tuesday and he already had an agenda full of things to do, including swearing in his staff during ceremonies at 7 a.m. and 3 p.m.
For the former justice of the peace and county commissioner, to be sheriff has been a dream of his for about 15 years, but he said he understands what challenges he'll face as a new sheriff.
"Anytime there's a change, especially a major change like this when there's been 28 years...things will be different under a new regime, and human nature is to be scared of the unforeseen," Lange said.
"What I'm asking my employees to do is give us a chance; let us prove ourselves," Lange said.
"I'm going to give the same respect to my employees to let them prove themselves to me."
A higher pay scale for the sheriff's department and fixing the high turnover rate of employees in the county jail are some of the things he's focusing on in his new role.
"They do a tremendous amount of work that amounts to little pay, so all of our employees, the basis is there, we just need to give our employees of the sheriff's department better training and make tools and equipment available to them to make them do the best that they can," Lange said.

STOCKTON - The University of the Pacific's Stockton campus was placed on lockdown about 11:45 p.m. Friday after a vehicle overturned on Pacific Avenue near Presidents Drive and the driver fled the scene, school officials said.
A passenger in the car told police the driver was armed with a handgun, the school said. Officers also determined that the driver matched the description of a person of interest in an earlier armed robbery, university officials said.
Pacific alerted students, staff and faculty via email, text and phone messages while police searched the campus, the school said.
University staff patrolled residence halls and sent messages updating students on the status of the lockdown, school officials said. The lockdown was lifted at 1 a.m. Saturday after police concluded an extensive search of the area, the school said.
STOCKTON - Authorities had little information to work with after a 28-year-old man was shot several times in the 600 block of East Oak Street shortly after 8:15 p.m. Friday night.
The victim told police he was walking in the hallway of his apartment complex when he was approached by another man. The man pointed a gun at the victim and fired a number of shots, striking the victim several times, police said.
The victim was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, authorities said. The victim said he could not describe the shooter, police said.

Apple/Samsung Dominance Hits Record
Research in Motion and Microsoft have their fingers crossed hoping that their new mobile operating systems catch on. Consumers should wish them luck.
That's because the smartphone market is increasingly a duopoly. In the fourth quarter, according to preliminary data from Strategy Analytics, Samsung held a 40% market share in global smartphone unit sales. Runner-up Apple, meanwhile, snagged 30%, giving the top two a combined 70% of the market.
The previous peak for combined market share between the two dominant smartphone players was 53% in the first quarter of 2012. A year prior to that, they held just 30% together.
The duopoly is even more pronounced in terms of operating systems, considering the handful of companies like HTC and Motorola Mobility that, like Samsung, primarily make phones running Google's Android software.
The history of handsets suggests dominant players can collapse as quickly as their phones go out of fashion. Except this time around, the more dominant the operating systems, the more apps that are written for them.
That may serve to repress rivals' growth – and, ultimately, consumer choice.

The Daily Start-Up: Stealthy Qumulo Funded to Help Corporate IT Manage Data Explosion
Top stories in today's VentureWire:
New storage start-up Qumulo has raised a new $24.5 million Series A round led by Highland Capital Partners with participation from Madrona Venture Group and Valhalla. The company was founded by three veterans of Isilon Systems to help IT teams both store and manage corporate data. Chief Executive Peter Godman declined to give details on Qumulo's product, potential customers or when the product might be released, but he said he's announcing the funding to attract engineering talent.
Applied Genetic Technologies has tapped investors for a $37.5 million Series B round as it continues testing therapies that the company says will help the human eyeball ward off rare and debilitating conditions. New investors Alta Partners and SR One led the round. The company is working in the area of gene therapy, or the delivery of genetic material into a patient's body so that the patient can fight off disease using the body's naturally occurring proteins.
Also in today's VentureWire, New York techie Chris Dixon will become a partner at high-profile Silicon Valley venture firm Andreessen Horowitz starting in January, the firm confirmed on Monday. Dixon, who is largely based in New York, will move to California to join what founder Marc Andreessen describes as a "single-office" firm…Kaltura has raised $25 million in new funding from Mitsui Global Investment and Orix Ventures to help large organizations use video more effectively. Kaltura's previous investors .406 Ventures, Avalon Ventures, Intel Capital and Nexus Venture Partners also participated in the round…and Los Angeles-based Cap That has closed a $2.3 million Series B round from Canadian incubator Intertainment Media to help users put their own video images on everything from coffee mugs and hoodies to posters.

A study being released today ranks Tel Aviv right behind Silicon Valley as the best place for start-ups. Third in the ranking by San Francisco-based Startup Genome is Los Angeles. Forbes contributor Peter Cohan has some thoughts on why Silicon Valley leads but shouldn't rest on its laurels.

Sigma is the former East Coast office of Sigma Partners. Simon said in July that he was leaving General Catalyst but did not disclose his plans.

Homecoming 2013 Recap
The largest Homecoming event in CBU history drew an estimated 7,000 alumni, students, faculty, staff, family, and friends to campus on November 1 & 2. View a short video summarizing the weekend's activities below
Friday Events
Homecoming and Family Weekend began Friday morning with chapel speaker Dr. Jonathan Jarboe ('86), senior pastor of Pathway Church in Redlands, Calif.
Later in the day, current men's and women's water polo teams challenged former players in an alumni game.
David Garibaldi, entertainer for the Homecoming Awards Dinner, spent Friday morning interacting with students and faculty in the College of Architecture, Visual Arts and Design. Garibaldi, 31, shared his journey as an artist, which, not surprisingly, aligned with CBU's motto "Live Your Purpose".
Garibaldi designed the 2013 Homecoming t-shirt, which was popular with alumni, faculty, staff, and students, who patiently stood in line to receive their annual shirts.
A limited number of Homecoming 2013 t-shirts are still available for sale, and can be ordered by contacting the Alumni & Parent Relations office at email@example.com, (951) 343-4439 or through the campus bookstore. Shirts are available for $20, which includes shipping and handling.
Friday Night Homecoming Awards Dinner
The Homecoming Awards Dinner, featuring the theme CBU and the Arts, was sold out with more than 260 guests in attendance! Garibaldi's presentation was both entertaining and inspiring as he shared even more of his story and his talent. CBU's own Chef Brad Martin (showcased on ABC's The Taste, airing January 2014) and his team of talented epicureans showcased food as art, with an amazing array of tastes and sights. Guests were offered the opportunity to purchase art work by students, alumni, faculty, staff, friends, and celebrities. Proceeds from the art sale went to benefit a scholarship fund established for art students. The evening was, by all accounts, a rousing success.
The classes of 1963, 1988 and 2003 were recognized as having milestone anniversaries, and five individuals were recognized for personal and professional achievement: Kelly Omori Suyenaga was honored as the Parent Volunteer of the Year; Dr. Jonathan Jarboe received the Distinguished Service in Christian Ministry Award; Damien ('00) and Jennifer Schumm O'Farrell ('02) were honored as co-recipients of the new Young Alumni Achievement Award; and Jack Hawkins, Sr. ('84) was recognized as the recipient of the highest honor given by the CBU Alumni Association: the Lancer Medal for Lifetime Achievement.
Saturday Events
Saturday's annual Block Party was held on the front lawn. The day included live entertainment, alumni reunions, interactive academic booths, inflatable attractions, games, a petting zoo and gourmet food trucks. A surprise visit by our beloved friend and former employee, Wanda Price, made the day extra special.
Reunions were held for the class of 1983, and for former members of Les Chanteuses and Rhapsody. Men's water polo competed against the University of Redlands, winning 6-5. In addition, Men's and Women's Swim and Dive teams competed against Redlands, Cal State East Bay and alumni.
Led by the Lancer cheerleaders and CBU Crazies, about 3,500 people cheered for men's and women's intramural teams competing in the Fortuna Bowl.
In a rematch of the women's championship game last year, the Bus Drivers beat SWAT, 22-0, while in the men's contest, Stealth 2.0s won over The Webelos, 18-12. Saturday night's events also featured the crowning of seniors Joshua Siemens as Mr. CBU and Ivy Paramo as Ms. CBU. A new addition to the halftime show featured the airing of the winning entry to the "I (heart) CBU" video contest.
CBU students were given the opportunity to create a commercial about why they love their school.
This is the winning video. It was featured during the halftime break of CBU's Fortuna Bowl.

Dark windows lead to arrest
Published: Monday, August 19, 2013 at 4:44 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, August 20, 2013 at 1:13 a.m.
A 27-year-old Houma man who was pulled over because his windows were too dark was arrested for having codeine and a gun in his car, police said.
Police stopped Christopher Barrio, of 139 Louise Lane, while he was driving his Honda Accord near Morgan and Beaumont streets about 1 p.m. Friday because his windows were overly tinted, Houma Police spokesman Dana Coleman said Monday.
He told officers he didn't have a license and was driving with a .40-caliber semi-automatic pistol, Coleman said.
He also allegedly had three plastic foam cups full of codeine cough syrup mixed with Sprite.
Barrio was charged with possession of a firearm while in possession of a controlled and dangerous substance, Coleman said. He was also charged with having illegally tinted windows, driving without a license and possession of narcotics.
He was taken to the Terrebonne Parish jail.

"Melissa & Joey" (8 p.m., ABC Family): In the Season 3 finale, Joe (Joseph Lawrence) impulsively invites his family to move in before running his plan by Mel (Melissa Joan Hart). It's such a bad idea in so many ways.
"So You Think You Can Dance" (8 p.m., Fox): It's off to Atlanta -- or Hotlanta -- this week as more contestants bust some moves in the audition rounds. Guest judges include Jenna Dewan-Tatum (wife of Channing) and street-dancing standout Charles "Lil Buck" Riley.
"Suits" (9 p.m., USA): A takeover battle for control of Walter Gillis's distribution company pits Harvey (Gabriel Macht) and Mike (Patrick J. Adams) against one another. OK, so it's not The Mountain vs. Oberyn, but it looks like we're in for one heckuva smackdown.

AKA Pinselschrift (brush script) Reporter. The metal original — larger sizes were also available in wood — came with many extras: alternates, swash underlines, ligatures, as well as logotypes for common German trigraphs like 'sch' and even whole syllables ('ent', 'ung', 'heit', 'keit').
The digitally available Reporter No. 2 is a simplified version with far fewer gaps inside the main strokes. It lacks all of the mentioned embellishments.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Major tech companies including Apple (AAPL), Google (GOOG) and Facebook on Thursday said they do not provide any government agency with "direct access" to their servers, contradicting a Washington Post report that they have granted such access under a classified data collection program.
The newspaper reported that the U.S. National Security Agency and the FBI are "tapping directly into the central servers of nine leading U.S. Internet companies" through a secret program known as PRISM, and extracting massive amounts of data including audio, video, photographs, emails, documents and connection logs.
It named nine companies, including Apple, Facebook, Microsoft and Google, as having joined the secret program.
Google, the Internet's largest search provider, said that, despite previous reports that it had forged a "back door" for the government, it had never provided any such access to user data.
Microsoft said it does not voluntarily participate in any government data collection and only complies "with orders for requests about specific accounts or identifiers."
"We have never heard of PRISM," said Apple spokesman Steve Dowling. "We do not provide any government agency with direct access to our servers, and any government agency requesting customer data must get a court order."
Asked whether Apple joined the NSA-FBI data collection program, Apple declined to comment beyond its brief statement.
The Washington Post reported that Apple held out for more than five years after PRISM enlisted its first corporate partner, in May 2007, for "unknown reasons."
"We do not provide any government organization with direct access to Facebook servers," Facebook's chief security officer Joe Sullivan said in a statement. "When Facebook is asked for data or information about specific individuals, we carefully scrutinize any such request for compliance with all applicable laws, and provide information only to the extent required by law."
Yahoo (YHOO) said in a statement that it "takes users' privacy very seriously. We do not provide the government with direct access to our servers, systems, or network."

LAS VEGAS -- Dish Network has unveiled a new digital recorder system that can record eight TV shows at once.
The catch is that four of those shows have to be from the broadcast networks ABC, NBC, CBS and Fox. The system involves Dish's Hopper digital video recorder and a new Super Joey add-on box for separate rooms.
Dish also unveiled partnerships with LG Corp. and Sony Corp. so that Hopper users can watch recorded shows in a second room without needing a Joey. Instead, the system uses an app on a smart TV or PlayStation game console.
The announcements Monday at the International CES gadget show come a year after Dish's Hopper with Sling was picked by reviews site CNET as the "Best of CES." The vote was annulled by CNET parent CBS Corp., which has been fighting the Hopper's ability to automatically strip out TV ads. CNET was later dropped as the show's awards picker.
On Monday, Dish also unveiled Joey boxes that can run wirelessly with the help of a router that sits next to the Hopper. Previously, Joey boxes had to be connected by separate coaxial cables. Now they just need power outlets. Improvements in Wi-Fi technology made the new wireless set-up possible.
Dish has been trying to position itself as the TV provider with the best "TV Everywhere" platform available. The concept refers to the ability to watch your TV shows on all your devices whether you're in your home or on the go.
For a $12 monthly fee, TV subscribers can rent Dish's Hopper, which can send all of a subscriber's live and recorded shows to mobile phones and tablets. Joey box rentals for separate TVs cost up to $7 a month.
Compared with Dish, other cable and satellite TV providers offer only a patchwork of channels for live viewing on mobile phones, computers and tablets, and many of those channels can't be viewed outside the home or over cellular data networks.

December 14, 2010 IACC Meeting Summary
The Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee (IACC) met on Tuesday, December 14, at the Bethesda Marriott in Bethesda, Md. This is the fifth time the Full Committee has met in 2010. The IACC has made significant progress in the past year in the following areas: 1) releasing the 2010 Strategic Plan for Autism Research (February 3); 2) publishing the 2008 Portfolio Analysis Report (January 19); 3) releasing the 2009 Summary of Advances in ASD Research; 4) hosting first annual IACC Services Workshop, Building a Seamless System of Quality Services & Supports Across the Lifespan (November 8); and 5) updating the 2011 Strategic Plan for Autism Research.
IACC Chair and NIMH Director Thomas Insel, M.D. opened the meeting with a presentation on research developments since the last IACC meeting. Dr. Insel reported that autism was a "hot topic" at the recent Society for Neuroscience meeting with a 30 percent increase in abstracts focused on autism. The meeting also included a Public Symposium, Autism: Progress and Prospects, chaired by Gerald Fischbach, M.D., Scientific Director, Simons Foundation Autism Research Initiative.
The IACC meeting agenda was devoted primarily to consideration of updates to the Strategic Plan for Autism Research. Members of the Strategic Planning Subcommittee presented the IACC with modifications to the existing plan with appendices of new research advances, funding gaps and new research opportunities for each section of the plan. The Committee approved most of the recommendations made by the Subcommittee.
The Subcommittee's recommendations included objectives to better understand wandering and fever in persons with ASD to Question 2 of the plan.
The Committee voted to retain the title of Question 3, "What caused this to happen and how can it be prevented?" Updates to Question 3 include reference to a Workshop "Autism and the Environment: New Ideas for Advancing the Science," held September 8, 2010, which was co-sponsored by Autism Speaks and NIEHS. The meeting involved environmental scientists who have successfully identified environmental risk factors for other conditions, such as Parkinson's Disease, in an effort to develop better strategies for discovering environmental risk factors contributing to the etiology of ASD. The committee voted to accept new research objectives, including in the following areas: epidemiological studies that take advantage of special populations or expanded existing databases to inform our understanding of environmental risk factors for ASD, to include adverse events following immunization (such as fever and seizures), mitochondrial impairment, and siblings of children with regressive ASD; and the role of epigenetics in the etiology of ASD, including studies that include assays to measure DNA methylations and histone modifications and those exploring how exposures may act on maternal or paternal genomes.
Recommendations for Question 4 were also accepted. These included research objectives to assess the effectiveness of interventions and services in broader community settings by 2015; to study interventions for nonverbal individuals with ASD; and to focus on research on health promotion and prevention of secondary conditions in people with ASD. Secondary conditions of interest include overweight and obesity, injury, and co-occurring psychiatric and medical conditions.
The IACC's review of the Subcommittee's recommendations for Question 5 included extensive discussion about how the IACC should address issues related to mortality, safety, and health within the IACC. New research objectives were approved to support research on health and safety issues leading to mortality.
The Question 6 recommendations on future needs of adults highlighted the urgent need for additional scientific research specific to this group. In 2010, several national advocacy groups devoted private resources to initiatives on adult services that have been brought to the IACC's attention.
Finally, Question 7 is focused on the infrastructure and surveillance needs. The committee noted concern in funding availability for these needs. New research objectives were added. These included objectives to establish a robust network of clinical research sites that can collect and coordinate standardized and comprehensive diagnostic, biological (e.g. DNA, plasma, fibroblasts, urine), medical, and treatment history data that would provide a platform for conducting comparative effectiveness research and clinical trials of novel autism treatments; and to create an information resource for ASD service providers, researchers, families, and people with an ASD which serves as a portal to obtain the most recent evidence-based reviews and plans for intervention, services, and support.
"Public input has been critically important to the Strategic Planning process," says Geraldine Dawson, Autism Speaks' chief science officer and IACC member. "Based on feedback received from both consumer and professional stakeholders during the Request for Information phase, the recommended Strategic Plan will include new objectives that enhance the focus on environmental factors and lifespan issues affecting adolescents and adults living with autism."
The afternoon session began with the Public Comments portion of the meeting. Ms. Idil Abdull, parent advocate and co-founder of the Somali American Autism Foundation, thanked the IACC for its decisive action on exploring the Somali autism issue and urged it to sustain this effort. Also presenting during Public Comments was Mrs. JaLynn Prince, President and Founder of the Madison House Foundation, based in Montgomery County, Md. The mission of the Madison House Foundation is to identify the lifelong needs of adults with autism and fill those needs through education, awareness, and advocacy. Mrs. Prince encouraged the IACC to explore the expertise of organizations like the Madison House which have been dealing with adult service issues in local communities throughout the country.
The agenda also included several updates on issues raised during recent meetings. At the October meeting, the IACC asked Autism Speaks, NIEHS and CDC to investigate issues raised concerning the Somali population in Minnesota. Coleen Boyle, Ph.D., Acting Director, National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and IACC Member, Cindy Lawler, Ph.D., National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, and Autism Speaks' chief science officer and IACC member Geraldine Dawson, Ph.D. provided an update on their efforts with respect to this issue. It was reported that collectively $350,000 has been committed to begin to study this issue, with Autism Speaks contributing $100,000 to this effort.
In response to a presentation on Wandering and Autism at the October meeting, the IACC created a subcommittee on safety issues the first task of which is to write the secretary of HHS on the recommendations that were made during the meeting. Lyn Redwood, R.N., M.S.N. Co-Founder and Vice President, Coalition for Safe Minds and Co-chair, Safety Subcommittee, and Alison Singer, President, Autism Science Foundation and Co-chair, Safety Subcommittee, reported on the Subcommittee's recent meeting. The IACC authorized the Subcommittee to proceed with its information gathering in order to finalize the letter to the secretary. To inform this letter, the Subcommittee's representatives will meet with the Departments of Education and Justice and will develop a Request for Information (RFI) on wandering. It was also announced that Autism Speaks and the Autism Science Foundation will fund a study utilizing the Interactive Autism Network (IAN) on this issue.
Services Subcommittee Co-chairs Ellen W. Blackwell, M.S.W., Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and Lee Grossman, President and CEO, Autism Society, reported on their Services Workshop on November 8 and subsequent subcommittee meeting. The goal of the workshop was to determine a set of recommendations to make for the Secretary of HHS. The Subcommittee is using slides from the workshop to inform the recommendations to be sent to the Secretary. The Subcommittee believes another workshop on services will be necessary next year.
Finally, the IACC solicited the input of IACC member Alan E. Guttmacher, M.D., Director Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, on the implications of the proposed addition to Question 1 of the Strategic Plan to conduct five studies on the ethical, legal and social implications of autism screening research, including at least one study on the implications of potential future genetic testing. The committee agreed to look at what other diseases have done in this area and will convene a workshop next year.
The IACC is scheduled to meet again on January 18 and will finish its update of the Strategic Plan's Introduction section at that meeting before approving the plan.
December 21, 2010 at 10:36 pm
IACC needs to focus on TREATMENT. Guttmacher needs to do so as well. Forget about the 900th early screening study and get to business helping kids living today with autism NOW.
December 22, 2010 at 9:58 am
I'm a bit mystified by the IACC's safety subcommittee planning to develop an RFI on wandering. Every major autism advocacy organization is already up to speed on what needs to be done to increase safety, including on elopement issues. My guess is that the DOJ and DOE aren't going to be all that helpful providing info to the IACC. Shouldn't the IACC first reach out to the organizations below who are the experts in our community?
http://www.awaare.org/about.htm http://www.autismsafetyproject.org/site/c.kuIVKgMZIxF/b.5058283/k.BE40/Home.htm
At the end of the day it's pretty basic stuff that's required to mitigate risk: training and educating parents, first responders, private security professionals, and judicial system participants in proper procedures and techniques, along with assistive technology like Project Lifesaver, where appropriate.

I've been searching in google for some new ideas and fortuitously found your blog.autismspeaks.org website. I have to say that it's a marvelous blog! I admire how detailed each of the entries are. They are well balanced, both informatory and funny, and the pictures are nice too.

Thanks for the suggestions shared on the blog. Something else I would like to mention is that weight loss is not supposed to be about going on a dietary fad and trying to reduce as much weight as possible in a couple of days. The most effective way to lose weight is by getting it gradually and right after some basic recommendations which can allow you to make the most from your attempt to slim down. You may recognize and already be following some tips, but reinforcing awareness never does any damage.

If it's not too big a deal, I'd try to do it. Of course, it some one else has already done this, it'll be great if I can download it.

Topic: Perhaps a way to help us "Stand up and be Noticed".
Last Saturday night @ about 11:30 pm ( pacific time), I logged on to this site.
And what do you think I noticed ? There were 65 non-members also on this site.
I couldn't believe that there were 65 ! So, 10 minutes later I rechecked the number--and there was then 72 non-members reading posts ! 72 people !!! I couldn't believe it !
It seems to me that if the Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation Website representing such a rare and "orphaned" cancer as ours had 2 or 3 thousand members, then perhaps we wouldn't be considered so obscure and perhaps researchers and the medical field would take notice of us.
So..............I'm wondering what can we do to get these people to join/register as members ?
Have a notice/banner open up when people come to the site --asking them to sign up--explaining that the more members we have, the more noticed we will be ?
What do you think ?

Creating an international business plan, i.e., export plan, is important for defining your company's present status, internal goals and commitment, but is also required if you plan to seek export financing assistance. Preparing the plan in advance of making export loan requests from your bank can save time and money. Completing and analyzing an international business plan helps you anticipate future goals, assemble facts, identify constraints and create an action statement. It should also set forth specific objectives, an implementation timetable and milestones to gauge success.

I want to bring to your attention an interesting story about how the role of patients and patient support organizations are coming to play a bigger role in global health decision-making.

Hoosiers Work for Health, the Indiana chapter of We Work for Health held an event in Southern Indiana earlier this week calling attention to both the contribution that the biosciences make to Indiana's economy and the importance of creating an economic and investment environment in Indiana that promotes growth in the life sciences sector.
Healthcare providers know that no two patients are alike. And just as the saying goes that men are from Mars and women are from Venus, their bodies (and the ways in which they require care) are often worlds apart.
For example, heart attacks plague both genders, but the symptoms often vary. Women often metabolize medicines differently from men in ways that aren't explained simply by differences in body sizes. They are also more prone to diseases like multiple sclerosis, lupus, migraines, osteoporosis and fibromyalgia.
Down in Louisiana, where record flooding is becoming a real threat, Governor Bobby Jindal is recommending that residents who may have to evacuate their homes and communities remember to write down their prescription medicines before they leave their homes.
Battelle, the world's largest independent research organization, is out with a new report on the economic impact of the human genome project. The headline from the report is that the "$3.8 billion investment in the Human Genome Project drove $796 billion in economic impact creating 310,000 jobs and launching the genomic revolution."
The four main conclusions reached in the Battelle study are:
CBS Morning News ran a good piece on the growing problem of counterfeit drugs. It's worth taking a look at. And for more information on the counterfeit drugs epidemic, visit http://www.phrma.org/issues/counterfeit-drugs.
Today was the launch of the Script Your Future campaign, an effort to encourage patients living with chronic diseases to better manage their conditions by taking their medicines as directed.
According to the campaign's Web site, "Understanding your condition and taking your medicine correctly are important steps toward a longer, healthier life. This campaign can help you with tools to manage your medicines."
A piece over at Everyday Health has some good, common sense tips for women concerned about heart disease.
Last Wednesday, I mentioned a Boston Globe article about biopharmaceutical research companies and the emphasis on studying medicines in specific populations, for rare conditions, and more.
In that post, I provided some examples of PhRMA's Medicines in Development Reports, which are a wealth of just this sort of information.
I've got a couple of more good pieces I want to pass along today.
Tonight, the Society for Women's Health Research is hosting an event to raise awareness about the health needs of women who have served in the armed forces.
"Beyond the Camouflage: Uncovering the Health Needs of Women Veterans" will focus on - and celebrate - the nearly 2 million women veterans and 230,000 women deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan."
A recent study in the Journal of the American Medical Association raises notable points about the current presence of comparative effectiveness research (CER) in the health care system.
Excluding orphan drugs and first-in-class medicines, a majority of new medicines (defined as new molecular entities) approved by the FDA between 2000 and 2010 had CER data available at the time of approval.
Andrew Sullivan, in The Daily Beast, directed my attention to an opinion piece on The New York Times's Opinionator blog about "the science gap" - in other words, how evolving science is changing the research landscape. Sullivan featured a quote from Stanford University's Dr.
With the debate over the future of Medicare heating up, there are two interesting recent opinion pieces worth taking a look at.
The first by Former HHS Secretary and Governor of Wisconsin Tommy Thompson and Donald Crand, President & CEO of the California Association of Physician Groups (CAPG) in the Huffington Post.
An article in today's Boston Globe refers to biopharmaceutical research companies "dedicating more resources to rare disorders, illnesses that are prevalent in the developing world, and medical conditions that affect minority populations in rich countries."

Professor of Clinical Radiation Oncology, Department of Radiation Oncology
Alyson Moadel, Ph.D. is Assistant Professor in the Department of Epidemiology & Population Health at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, as well as Director of the Psychosocial Oncology Program of the Albert Einstein Cancer Center (AECC), Bronx NY. As a health psychologist, Dr. Moadel applies a career in research, teaching and counseling to her interest in the psychological, social and cultural factors associated with coping with cancer. She received her doctorate in Health Psychology from Yeshiva University in 1995, after which she received her postdoctoral training (1995-1997) at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in Psycho-Oncology. Since then, she has been involved in studying the efficacy of various behavioral and complementary medicine methods to improve the quality of life of cancer patients.
In 2001, Dr. Moadel was awarded grants from the National Cancer Institute and Langeloth Foundation to initiate one of the first randomized controlled trials in the United States to examine the effects of yoga on quality of life in breast cancer patients. As a follow-up to this pilot work, the Langeloth Foundation awarded an additional 2-years of funding (January 2004-2006) to continue her yoga research in breast cancer, as well as to expand it to two new patient populations, namely lung and colorectal cancer patients. A description of the Yoga intervention protocol that was used in this study can be found below. In addition to her research in yoga, Dr. Moadel received a three-year grant from the American Cancer Society (July 2003-2006) to investigate the effects of a spiritual group intervention in comparison to a psycho-educational intervention on quality of life, spiritual well-being, and survival in advanced stage cancer patients. All of her studies are accessible to English and Spanish-speaking patients.

SAN JOSE -- The Sharks parted ways with TJ Galiardi on Tuesday, sending the forward to his hometown Calgary Flames for a fourth-round pick in the 2015 draft.
The Sharks had been shopping Galiardi, who had five goals and nine assists in 36 games last season for San Jose. According to Galiardi, Sharks general manager Doug Wilson told him which teams were interested and allowed him to choose his destination.
Galiardi, who will be entering his sixth year, was set to become a restricted free agent Tuesday but signed a one-year, $1.25 million deal with Calgary. Galiardi, 25, made $950,000, prorated, last season.
"For me, it was a no-brainer in Calgary," Galiardi told this newspaper. "I've wanted to play there my whole life, and I always figured I would eventually. Things worked out well, just sooner than I thought."
The Sharks' acquisition of forward Tyler Kennedy from the Pittsburgh Penguins on Sunday, plus Tomas Hertl's emergence as a possible top-nine forward, made Galiardi expendable. Hertl, San Jose's first-round pick in 2012, is likely to be given every opportunity to play in the NHL this coming season.
The trade could also signal that Brent Burns will remain as a forward after he switched from defense midway through the 2013 season.
Acquired from Colorado in a six-player deal in February 2012, Galiardi, in 50 career games with the Sharks, had 15 points and 20 penalty minutes. He found his stride this past season as he played on the team's top line with Burns and Joe Thornton in the playoffs. San Jose advanced to the second round but was eliminated by Los Angeles in seven games.
"I don't think it was final when they picked up Kennedy that I was going to be gone," Galiardi said. "You speculate a little, but who knows who's going to play with Jumbo and Burnzie now? It's not really my issue anymore, and I'm just looking forward to the next step in my career."
Galiardi was involved in some verbal jousting with the Kings in that series, and scored the Game 6 winner.
"We had a really fun time together. They definitely elevated my game and I hope I was able to do that a bit for them, too," Galiardi said of playing with Thornton and Burns. "But you know how it goes. We wouldn't be talking about this if we had went all the way and done the job that we were supposed to.
"Hockey's a business, and San Jose's going to move forward and so am I."

Making Change at Walmart, an organization dedicated to improving work conditions for employees, has announced that employees across the United States will strike in the days surrounding Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving.
Oklahoma is included in the states that will strike, however officials Friday could not confirm whether or not this would include the local Walmarts in Shawnee and Seminole.
Workers in multiple California stores have already begun walking off the job, due to complaints about the treatment of workers.
Strikes are scheduled to follow in Mississippi, Louisana, and Minnesota, as well many other cities including Dallas, Washington D.C., Miami, Fla., and Los Angeles.
Officials with Making Change at Walmart are claiming the multi-million dollar chain underpays their workers, and in light of the Affordable Care Act, is raising their health insurance by up to 36 percent.
Walmart officials issued a statement saying they are prepared for Black Friday and will have more than a million associates working that day.
The statement dismissed the claims, and said 1.3 million of their associates had "no interest in letting a handful of people…purport to represent them."

This Monday, March 11, 2013 photo in Southington, Ohio shows the vehicle where six people died in a crash early Sunday in Warren, Ohio. Two teens who escaped the crash that killed six friends in a swampy pond wriggled out of the wreckage by smashing a rear window and swimming away from the SUV, a state trooper said Monday. (AP Photo/Tony Dejak)
WARREN, Ohio (AP) -- A report says the driver of an SUV that crashed and killed six friends in northeast Ohio didn't have a valid license.
The crash report released Tuesday by the State Highway Patrol also says a teen who survived the crash told a state trooper that it felt like the 19-year-old woman behind the wheel was driving 80 mph.
Another teen who escaped the Sunday morning crash in Warren told a trooper that the driver, Alexis Cayson, sped up just as the SUV rounded what's known as "Dead Man's Curve."
Cayson was among those killed.
The owner of the sport utility vehicle told police Monday that it had been stolen although it's not clear whether all of the teens knew that.
The six who died were 14 to 19 years old.

Late in the second quarter of last Saturday's Division III regional girls' basketball final in Logan, Fort Frye struggled a little bit against Johnstown-Monroe's fullcourt press.
And, as a result, the Lady Cadets' onetime 13-point advantage was whittled down to four points (30-26) at halftime.
"We lost our composure a little bit, something these girls don't normally do," said veteran Fort Frye head basketball coach Dan Liedtke after the Lady Cadets defeated the Johnnies, 58-43. "Then, we were taking shots that we shouldn't have been taking."

Fort Frye's Deidra Combs, right, battles Johnstown's Makenzie Spang, left, for the ball during regional final action at Logan Saturday. Morgan Liedtke (24) is in the background.
Like the good team that it is, the Fort made some adjustments at the intermission, and in the second half, Johnstown's press wasn't nearly as bothersome or effective.
"We knew we could win if we did our thing," said FFHS senior standout Taylor Buchanan, who is Palm Beach (Fla.) Atlantic University-bound after graduation in the spring.
Fort's thing was basically keeping its cool when the Johnnies pressed, continuing to attack the basket, and playing aggressive defense.
With the win against Johnstown, the Fort Frye girls (25-3) advance for the first time to the Final 4, and are scheduled to play defending state champion Africentric (21-6) in a semifinal at Value City Arena in Columbus at 1 p.m. Thursday.
Again, as always, it's all about preparation - and make no mistake about it, Fort Frye is expecting to be ready when it steps on the Value City Arena hardwood.
Having played and lost to the Will McKinney-coached Nubians in last year's regional tournament at the Convo in Athens, the Lady Cadets know a little bit about them.
"They're (Africentric) a different kind of team to play," Liedtke said. "They really are. We've just got to learn their style, and find a way to compete with them."
Like Johnstown, Africentric has a little height advantage in the paint in 6-foot-2 Cincinnati recruit Marley Hill, who can not only score and rebound, but also block shots. She had six swats in her team's 60-42 regional final triumph over previously undefeated Archbold (25-1).
Still, the Fort matches up well against the Nubians in the frontcourt with four girls - Micayla Hupp, Deidra Combs, Megan Liedtke, and Buchanan all in the 5-10 range. Plus, 5-7 Shawntell Parsons, 5-7 Morgan Liedtke, and 5-6 Brooke Borich all play good help defense.
When Hall gets the ball in the lane, she's likely to be surrounded by Lady Cadets.
Hall, of course, is not Africentric's only offensive weapon. Ayrielle Stith, a 5-7 forward, also gets a lot of her points inside. Against Archbold, she had 12 markers, six caroms, and three steals.
Like it was against Johnstown, the paint will probably be no place for the meek at state. Whistles could be few and far between.
"We do a lot of things in practice that are physical," Dan Liedtke said. "So they get used to it."
The Fort Frye boss paused.
"I think that's why we go to the places we do in the summertime," Liedtke continued. "We spent a lot of times in some pretty rough camps and shootouts. And that's why we do that, because when you get to this level, it is physical."
Perhaps surprisingly, the Lady Cadets don't spend a whole lot of time in the weight room.
"No, actually we really don't," Liedtke said. "That's something I do want to get into the program, though.
"We do some (lifting) in the fall, but when basketball starts, we don't do much."
While Johnstown's guard play proved to be suspect for the most part, Africentric's is not. The ballhawking Nubians are a run-and-jump kind of team that is capable of wearing teams out with a pressing defense. Against Archbold, they forced 21 turnovers.
Liedtke and his Lady Cadets are very mindful of all of this, and with three days of practices this week...well, let's just say, they're planning to be battle-ready - and to do their thing on Thursday.

The Demon has been highly rated by power players for a long time.
Once we get more distribution outlets for our products, I think you will see more players using them. Its a great hyzer disc that reacts the same way everytime regardles of ANY wind conditions. The wind literally had no effct on the disc.
We are going to use the dimple technology on the Sabre, Blaze, Hybrid and Demon ( all of these discs share the same wing) before the end of the year.
I'm pretty sure it will make each disc less overstable and straighter flying over a wide range of speeds, which will add glide and control to each model.
The Hybrid-DT is going to very tee-birdish.
