The Importance of a Quick Response in Politics and the New Autism Votes Mobile Program
By Mike Wasmer, Autism Speaks Kansas Chapter Advocacy Chair. Mike is the parent of two fantastic kids. Although a veterinarian by trade, he became active in autism advocacy and founded the Kansas Coalition for Autism Legislation (KCAL) after his daughter was diagnosed with autism in 2001. KCAL (www.kscoalitionforautism.org) is a volunteer group of parents, medical professionals and service providers who are dedicated to advocating for legislation to benefit the autism community in Kansas and nationally. In 2010, Kansas became the 18th state to enact an autism health insurance reform bill.
I am excited about Autism Votes' recent introduction of the Autism Votes mobile text alert campaign. By texting "AVotes" to 30644, advocates will receive action alerts to support autism-related state and federal legislation directly to their mobile phone. This tool is exactly what we need to mobilize the autism community before the opposition tries to pull a fast one on us.
Let me tell you why Autism Votes mobile is important….
In 2009, the Kansas autism insurance reform bill was stalled and time was running out for us. Opponents of our bill had mounted a strike, pressuring our supporters to vote the bill down. We had just two hours to rally our grassroots, contact key legislators, gain the votes we needed, and get the Kansas House to pass our bill, which would require health insurance companies to provide coverage of medically necessary, evidence-based autism therapies.
With the help of our friends at Autism Speaks we dug into our grassroots. We made countless phone calls, sent thousands of e-mails, and posted updates on Twitter and Facebook asking advocates to contact their legislators.
Despite our best efforts, the motion to advance our bill failed by just 10 votes.
I learned several important lessons about politics and grassroots advocacy that session. First, Shelley Hendrix is a wise woman, so listen to her when she tells you, "The political process is a roller coaster. So kids, you'd better buckle up and keep your arms and legs inside the car because it's going to be a crazy ride." Secondly, there is a huge difference between growing your grassroots and effectively mobilizing your grassroots. Despite all of our calls, e-mails, and social network posts, when we needed a rapid response from the troops, we had to find a way to get the word out quickly and get advocates to take action immediately.
The Kansas bill was eventually signed into law this past April, becoming the 18th state to enact autism insurance reform. However, the new law is limited in its reach and until every person with autism in Kansas has meaningful access to the treatments and therapies they need, our work here is not yet done. With the new Autism Votes mobile text alert program, we will be stronger and quicker for the 2011 legislative session. We will be able to build on the 2010 law and expand coverage to all who need it.
I encourage you to sign up for Autism Votes mobile by texting "AVotes" to 30644 today and help your state achieve autism insurance reform!

This is the most devastating ailment that has taken hold of so many lives in US. One autistic child and three lives are involved and exteded family too.
We need to give all the help and intervene in the earlier stages so those witlh austism can have some normalancy in their life.
October 3, 2010 at 10:57 pm
All states must enact these bills as it is in epic proportions and if you don't know someone affected by the spectrum disorder-YOU will! People, please step up do the right thing and get informed!

It wasn't until Andrew Zolintakis' pass on fourth-and-13 floated high over his receiver's head and bounced harmlessly on the sideline that the magic was, at long last, finally extinguished for the 2012 Campolindo High football team.
Right up until that moment, with 1:49 left on the game clock, it seemed possible -- probable, even -- that the host Cougars would somehow find a way to overcome a seemingly endless string of big-play knockout punches from Analy-Sebastopol.
In the end, the Tigers made too many huge plays on offense and just enough plays on defense to hold off the Cougars 38-34 in the second round of the North Coast Section Division III playoffs Friday.
No. 5 seeded Analy (12-0) advances to face the winner of Saturday's game between No. 1 El Cerrito (11-0) and No. 9 Bishop O'Dowd (7-4) in next week's semifinal.
"They've got big playmakers," Campolindo coach Kevin Macy said of the quick-striking Tigers. "When they need to, they can just put it up to a big playmaker. We don't have that option."
It seemed for all the world as though Darrin Newman's 80-yard dagger to big playmaker No. 1, Aaron Maher, which put Analy up 38-28 with 6:27 to play, would toll the death-knell for the No. 4 Cougars (10-2), the defending NCS Division III champions.
But Zolintakis marched them 65 yards in 58 seconds and five plays to draw within four points on a 31-yard strike to Hunter Rosenbaum. The ensuing PAT was blocked, but Analy went three-and-out to give Campolindo one final shot.
Newman arced a 57-yard bomb to Maher on Analy's first play from scrimmage to set up Kyle Lewis' 3-yard scoring plunge. Maher was virtually undefendable, catching eight balls for 217 yards and two scores.
Zolintakis, who took over at quarterback after starter Brett Stephens went out with a season-ending injury, completed 22 of 35 passes for 368 yards with an interception and four touchdown passes. His favorite target, Phillip Rei, caught six balls for 131 yards and two scores.
Newman went 22-for-38 for 347 yards, three touchdowns and one pick.
"This team has over-achieved all year long," Macy said. "With all the injuries ... the kids always fought and played hard."

Lonetones show to highlight strings
Published: Friday, June 21, 2013 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, June 20, 2013 at 1:00 p.m.
The past few times The Lonetones have played in Saluda, they've brought the whole band.
Want to go?
Who: The Lonetones
When: 8 p.m., Saturday
Where: The Purple Onion, 16 Main St., Saluda, N.C.
Info: 828-749-1179 or www.purpleonionsaluda.com
When they play at 8 p.m. Saturday at The Purple Onion, fans will see a slightly different version.
No drums or bass this time, as husband-wife singer-songwriters Sean McCollough and Steph Gunnoe will only have a cellist with them.
Cellist Cecilia Miller adds plenty to the sound, though, as she can do bass parts as well as lead.
The Lonetones, a Knoxville, Tenn.-based indie folk rock band that has opened for Sam Bush and the Carolina Chocolate Drops, released "Modern Victims" in December.
Their music can run the gamut of styles and has changed a little in the past few years. The group recently celebrated its 10th anniversary together.
"We gotten much more experimental," Gunnoe said. "We have a wide variety of tastes, and we explore that more."
Gunnoe first played electric guitar in high school when she played in a punk band. Then she put down the instrument for an acoustic version.
She didn't play electric again until the last album.
"I'm probably more of a rocker chick than I let on," she said.
Gunnoe and McCollough don't often write songs together, as their lyrical voices sometimes differ.
"We're all over the map," Gunnoe said. "I'm obsessed with Appalachian style and identity. I don't really venture from that very much. I write about rural anxiety and the changing South."
McCollough's lyrics bounce around and the new album includes a liberal, working-man anthem called "Who We Are."
"We work alone, then come together and see how to make it sound like the Lonetones," she said.

NEW ORLEANS -- Jim Harbaugh didn't dress up like a bellman upon arrival Sunday, didn't try to add some levity to the start of Super Bowl Week, and -- most important -- didn't at all see the need to.
This isn't a nervous or a tight team and hasn't been all season.
The Super Bowl is coming, but these businesslike 49ers aren't about to act any differently now from the way they did any other week.
"Dashon Goldson had a quote on our quote board about two-and-a-half weeks ago that said, 'We get fresher under pressure,' " Harbaugh said about an hour after the team's arrival at its Super Bowl headquarters.
"So that bodes well for us."
Yes, it does, if the 49ers can keep charging forward through the next few days of 24-hour media and pre-Mardi Gras maelstrom.
That's why Harbaugh probably never even contemplated anything like Bill Walsh's legendary stunt before Super Bowl XVI, when he dressed up like a bellman and broke the ice at the start of the week.
The Walsh moment set the tone for a breakthrough 49ers Super Bowl -- the franchise's first.
This is the first Super Bowl trip in the Harbaugh era, and this is clearly a different kind of emotional journey.
"Throughout the season, people picked other teams to win the games, and we happened to come out on top," Goldson said when I asked him about the fresher/pressure quote.
"They tried to put a lot on us, and I felt that we overcame a lot this season."
The 49ers' mantra: Just do the work to win the next game, whatever the circumstances.
And now Super Bowl XLVII against Baltimore is the next one, which just happens to be the last one.
"Pressure comes from a lack of preparation," said quarterback Colin Kaepernick. "This won't be a pressure situation. It'll be a matter of going out and playing."
Interestingly, Harbaugh perked up when asked if he would most closely compare this week to the team's very successful weeklong early-season stays in Youngstown, Ohio, in each of the past two seasons.
He tried to duplicate that schedule by flying in Sunday -- a day earlier than Baltimore -- and getting the players settled in the city long before the first full practice Wednesday.
"Same approach as always, really," Harbaugh said. "Enjoy the moment. Enjoy the preparation."
Of course, it's not a normal week, not anything close.
Tuesday's Media Day extravaganza will be the supernova of Super Bowl glare, but Sunday had its share of mania, too.
The 49ers had a massive police escort from the airport and were greeted by flanks of TV cameras at the airport and their hotel.
Then reporters swarmed around Kaepernick's podium long before his scheduled time Sunday; no doubt, every 49ers player will be poked and prodded (figuratively) all week.
"I think it's a little bit different, just the circumstances," left tackle Joe Staley said. "I don't do this too often on a Sunday night.
"But as far as the scheduling -- we've been talking about not changing anything. Don't go outside yourself and do something that you haven't done all season. Try to treat this week as normal as you can.
"I think that will go a long way as far as calming any nerves or anxiety."
Harbaugh himself started six consecutive days of media appearances on Sunday -- double the amount he does on normal game weeks.
Harbaugh didn't seem enthralled by the experience Sunday and of course knocked away several questions he didn't like.
But the media sessions are part of the experience, he knows it, and he's not ducking it.
What's the biggest challenge for you, Jim?
"Well, that you hadn't done it before," Harbaugh said. "Uncharted waters for a rookie Super Bowl coach. But that's exciting, too.
"We have a great, great thrill and great desire to be in uncharted waters. Our coaches and our players have always relished that, always thrived in that kind of environment."
The 49ers are here. They feel fine. There's no need for extra theater or mood enhancers.
They believe they're built to handle any moment, especially the biggest moment, and that time has arrived, right on cue.

USA, 1992, 100 Minute Running Time
Genre/Subjects: Comedy, Musical
35mm presentation - A sleeper hit that received a lukewarm reception from critics but was a success with audiences, Sister Act was star Whoopi Golberg's first bona fide smash after her Oscar victory for Ghost. Goldberg stars as Deloris Van Cartier, a Reno lounge singer who accidentally witnesses a brutal murder carried out by her gangster boyfriend Vince (Harvey Keitel). Under the protection of a detective (Bill Nunn) who's trying to bring down Vince's criminal operation, Deloris is placed in protective custody at a San Francisco convent. Masquerading as a nun renamed Sister Mary Clarence, Deloris shakes up the established order of the sisters' lives, particularly enlivening their choral efforts. Although running constantly afoul of the Mother Superior (Maggie Smith), the new, jazzed-up musical act becomes a huge hit in the community, even drawing the attention of the Pope, but also alerting Vince to Deloris' whereabouts. Although credited to the pseudonymous Joseph Howard, Sister Act was actually written by Paul Rudnick and Carrie Fisher.
DIRECTOR: Emile Ardolino
Screenwriter: Joseph HowardPrincipal Cast: Whoopi Goldberg, Maggie Smith, Kathy NajimyUS Distributor: Buena Vista

Time for Pulis to pack his bags I think. Changed a winning formula with the team from last season, and buys in a bunch of second hand has beens. Brilliant! He reminds me of Brown when he was at Hull. Thought he knew better. He doesnt now.
Its not getting any better boys is it? Newcastle??? What!! at home too. And 'hard man' Shawcross bulldozed of the field. Looks like Pulis's chicken's have all come home to roost. Over spent and under performed. Funny thing though, I used to like Stoke before he came along.

Sunday is a day to recuperate from the previous week, as well prepare for the week ahead. But nothing could have prepared one local woman for what greeted her as she walked out the door.
Sherryl Buckley was on her way to church around 8 a.m. Sunday morning when she found at least 100 plastic forks sticking up from her yard.
She believes that this was done because she has Obama signs in her front window, as well as Obama stickers on her car. Buckley told KKCO 11 News she feels like her voting rights have been compromised.
"You don't have the right to go into someone else's yard and voice your opinion. That's not where your constitutional rights are. They end at the property line," said Buckley.
Buckly said she is not intimidated by this gesture, but she just wants to feel safe in her own neighborhood. So far, she is taking no legal action.

A Tolkien Book of Days [HarperCollins 1996]
Home away from home
2009/12/14 6:06
From Sweden
Posts: 225
I bought a lovely little piece of ephemera today, A Tolkien Book of Days (HarperCollins 1996).
I would be glad for any help on the following questions:
1) Are the contents of this diary exactly reproduced from The Tolkien Diary (Grafton 1992)?
2) Is there any "unique" Tolkien material (or, material that can only be found in very expensive, out-of-print publications) in A Tolkien Book of Days? I'm specifically thinking of the illustrations (since the quotations all seem to come from widely available sources)? I cannot, for example, find the flower reproduced over 13-15 November in my copy of J.R.R. Tolkien: Artist and Illustrator (Hammond and Scull).
3) Across the book are sprinkled some very small illustrations and I wonder if all of these were made by Tolkien (and originally reproduced in Pictures by J.R.R. Tolkien, which I sadly don't own yet) - for example the tiny spider and cobweb appearing below 15 March?
4) Anyone happens to know who wrote the short introduction and the "factual" texts appearing on several dates? The only people mentioned in the book are Frank Richard Williamson and Christopher Tolkien, but I suspect neither of these took part in writing these texts (?).

They are the same, the only obvious difference is that the introduction is different in both books, but after that they look identical to me.

Martinsville officials study reverting to town
Martinsville officials are revisiting a proposal to switch the city to a town system of government and make it part of Henry County.
City officials have studied the concept several times in the past. But they hit stumbling blocks and shelved it.
Tight finances have revived the proposal.
City Attorney Eric Monday tells The Martinsville Bulletin that new studies are being conducted to help officials decide whether the city should revert to a town.
Last year, a three-judge panel approved Bedford's plan to switch to a town system of government. Bedford's reversion will go into effect July 1.
South Boston and Clifton Forge are the only other cities in Virginia that have reverted to town status.

Marvin Pete Walker Jr., a condemned killer from Santa Clara County, is a member of an exclusive club -- he's one of a dozen or so inmates who've spent more than 30 years on San Quentin State Prison's death row.
Now, a federal appeals court is weighing whether Walker's 1980 murder conviction and death sentence should be overturned, the latest twist in a legal journey that has been tortuous even for California's notoriously sluggish capital punishment system. And Walker's appeal is hardly a long shot: An Oakland federal judge already sided with him in a decision last year.
In early December, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals heard arguments in the state's appeal of that ruling, which found Walker's murder conviction and death sentence should be set aside because he had been improperly shackled in front of the jury throughout the trial.
Attorney General Kamala Harris' office argues that the shackling, while perhaps a mistake, did not alter the outcome of the jury's verdict. U.S. District Judge Saundra Brown Armstrong concluded it did taint the trial, saying that forcing Walker to "wear visible and painful restraints ... undermined the dignity of the judicial process."
The three 9th Circuit judges appeared receptive to the state's arguments, at least in terms of the effect on the jury's decision to convict Walker for a 1979 murder in a San Jose liquor store, as well as related attempted murder and robbery convictions. The judges seemed less certain about how the shackling might have swayed the jury's penalty deliberations, casting doubt on the death sentence.
Just eight of the 728 inmates on death row have awaited execution dates longer than Walker, who was 19 when he fatally shot Joseph Vasquez, a 15-year-old Mt. Pleasant High School student, and wounded two others during a $150 liquor store holdup. During his trial, Walker also was convicted of assaulting, robbing and critically wounding 20-year-old Rosa Olveda during a separate holdup at a San Jose medical center.
Olveda, now Rosa Venegas, is still waiting for Walker's case to come to a close. Venegas, a married mother of two in Antioch, was shot twice in the robbery, losing her left eye and the hearing in her left ear. With the reminders of the attack "there every day," she wants Walker executed.
"What about the victims' rights?" she told this newspaper last week. "He took that little kid's life. People like that shouldn't be allowed here."
Thomas Mayhew, Walker's lawyer, and deputy attorney general Bruce Ortega, who is handling the state's appeal, could not be reached for comment last week.
But Walker's lawyers have stressed in court papers that the trial was a close call, citing jurors' lengthy deliberations before deciding to convict Walker and to endorse a death sentence. As a result, they argue that the shackles, which one juror later described as "like a short lead on a vicious dog," influenced the verdict.
"This is a case that could have gone either way," Mayhew told the 9th Circuit. "This is one that is truly over the line."
During his appeal, Walker has maintained that his brother-in-law and convicted accomplice, Rupert Lee Harper, was the shooter in the liquor store murder. Harper, who has given conflicting accounts, is serving a 15-years-to-life term for second-degree murder.
But at this point, the outcome hinges on the shackling issue. During his argument, Ortega, the state's lawyer, conceded that "Walker did not receive respectful treatment," but insisted the shackling made no difference to the jury.
For Venegas, the legal sparring and the lengthy appeals are simply "very annoying."
The shackling argument? "That's ridiculous," she said. "I don't see how that would have swayed the (jury). He was there for a dangerous reason."

Seven Must-Attend Events If You're Going to SXSW
If you've ever been, you know that South by Southwest is a psychedelic triple-decker of pop-cultural happenings — a unique and staggeringly expansive event that brings the esoteric, alternative and obscure together with the hyped and headlined across the increasingly convergent worlds of music, film and technology. (Not to mention more recent and less high-profile categories like environmentalism and education.) The best way to experience SXSWis to just do it — dive into the pool and go to whatever's most interesting and closest: Not everything's a masterpiece, but nearly everything's worth doing, including hanging out in hotel lobbies and striking up conversations with fascinating random strangers.But for first-timers in need of a map — or Twitter gawkers in search of hashtags worth following — here's a set of seven must-dos (and seven backups in case of emergency):If you're jonesing for Big Music: This year, Apple is bringing its hugely successful iTunes Festival — hitherto limited to lucky Londoners — to the United States. Headliners include Coldplay and Imagine Dragons, Kendrick Lamar and Schoolboy Q (this year's Kendrick Lamar!), Soundgarden, Pitbull, Keith Urban and Willie Nelson. You'll need a music badge and some luck: Free tickets will be randomly given to attendees who scan their badges at drawing booths at the Austin Convention Center. Can't get in? Catch Blur frontman Damon Albarninstead, showcasing songs from his forthcoming first solo effort Everyday Robots — but we bet he'll throw down some old-school Blur and Gorillaz for good measure (Wednesday, March 12, Stubb's at 12:30 am).
If you're into geekhop: Check out Childish Gambino, aka Donald Glover (late of "Community"), but you knew that. He'll drop tracks from his sophomore album "Because the Internet" and his debut "CAMP." (Saturday, March 15, Butler Park Stage, Lady Bird Park at 8 pm) Can't get in? Eugene Ahn, aka Adam Warrock, delivers lethal rhymes about comics, sci-fi, cult movies and videogames for the nerd inside all of us. (Tuesday, March 11, Flamingo Cantina, at 8:25 pm)
If you want to hear music icons expound: Cee-Lo Green — of "The Voice," Gnarls Barkley and Goodie Mob fame — talks to NPR Music editor Frannie Kelley (Saturday, March 15, Austin Convention Center, at 12:30 pm). Can't get in? You probably won't get into this one either, but it's worth a shot, because Blondie . Debbie Harry and Chris Stein chat with Nic Harcourt of SamLuna Music (Wednesday, March 12, Austin Convention Center, 3:30 pm).
If you're a TV buff: The most anticipated screening of SXSW for TV fans is actually a movie — Veronica Mars, the feature film continuation of Kristen Bell's uber-culty sleuthing series, which raised $7 million on Kickstarter to convince Warner Bros. a movie was, uh, NECESSARY. (Saturday, March 8, the Paramount Theatre at 3 pm) Can't get in?: Mike Judge's highly anticipated new series "Silicon Valley," about geeks who strike startup gold, should bring a little "Office Space" love to the soon-to-pop bubble. He'll screen the first two episodes and do an extended Q&A (Monday, March 10, Vimeo Theater, 1:30).
If you love Asian cinematic fusion: "The Raid 2", the sequel to "The Raid" — possibly the greatest action thriller ever directed by a Welsh filmmaker starring an all-Indonesian cast — aptly continues the intense, insane thrillride of the first (Sunday, March 9, Paramount Theatre, 9:15 pm). Can't get in?: The buzzy, oddball "Kumiko the Treasure Hunter" stars Rinko Kikuchi ("Pacific Rim") as a Japanese office lady who's absolutely convinced that the events of the Coen Brothers film "Fargo" are not fiction (and who heads out to find the film's lost cache of loot as a result) (Tuesday, March 11, Paramount Theater, 1:45 pm)
If you fracking love science: The inimitably awesome astrophysicist Dr. Neil Degrasse Tyson — who's ably replacing the late Carl Sagan as host of Cosmos: A Space Time Odyssey — takes the stage in a talk with Scientific American's Christie Nicholson (Saturday, March 8, Austin Convention Center, 2 pm). Can't get in?: Check out Mythbuster Adam Savage's sure-to-be giddy and thought-provoking keynote about the maker movement (Monday, March 10, Austin Convention Center, 2 pm)
If you're wearing a tinfoil hat right this very minute: One of the most anxiety-provoking figures of our modern era — NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden — conducts a virtual conversation from his undisclosed location with the ACLU's Ben Wizner and Christopher Soghoian (Monday, March 10, Austin Convention Center, 11 am). Can't get in?: One of the other most anxiety-provoking figures of our modern era — Wikileaks founder Julian Assange — chats about the dark corridors of our government and corporate establishment with Benjamin Palmer, founder and CEO of the Barbarian Group (Saturday, March 8, Austin Convention Center, 11 am).
And heck, if you've got time — check out my panel, SCOUT: Solving the Transit "Last Mile" Problem, featuring Josh Hon, Team Captain of Tern Bicycles and Peter Treadway, CTO and cofounder of ACTON Global. I've asked both to unveil their visions of what a future centered around alternative personal vehicles looks like — that is to say, Standardized, City-Optimized Utility Transportation. Sure to be a great conversation; hope to see you there! (Tuesday, March 11, Hyatt Regency Austin, 11 am)

Knitter's Review
January 24, 2008
When Beth Casey bought Lorna's Laces a little over five years ago, she prudently chose to focus on providing the same hand-dyed yarns that had made the company famous.
Over the years she has quietly added some new colors and yarns, but nothing as significant as what she unveiled at TNNA two weeks ago: a new line of naturally dyed yarns made from organic fiber. Let's take a test-knit, shall we?

Spinning Basics:
How to Spin Yarn with a Spindle
by Maggie Casey
Article reprinted from Spin.Off Magazine
Read Maggie's second article on how to spin yarn with a spinning wheel
Several years ago at Spin.Off Autumn Retreat (SOAR), a friend and I took Rita Buchanan's drop spindle retreat session. During the class we challenged each other to make something out of our spindle-spun yarn.
My favorite mittens are the result of that challenge. Rita's retreat and those mittens renewed my love affair with handspindles, and here are some tips to make you fall in love, too.

The Joy of Handspinning
Spin.Off Magazine
The Right Tool
Your first spindle should weigh 2 to 3 ounces (or 56 to 84 grams). Many beautiful lighter-weight spindles are available, but wait before you try one because a medium-weight or heavier spindle will keep turning while you learn to draft out the fibers.
Don't choose one that is too heavy, however, or you will learn why they are called drop spindles. A well-balanced spindle is a delight, so check to see how well yours spins-tie on some yarn and give it a twist.
The spindle should turn smoothly without a lot of wobble and continue to spin for some time.
Step by Step Instructions
|Once you have chosen a spindle, take a piece of plied wool yarn about 18 inches long and tie it onto the spindle shaft (leader).
Click on image to enlarge
|If you have a top-whorl spindle, tie the leader underneath the whorl, bring the leader up and over the whorl, and catch it with the hook. You can wrap the yarn around the hook once for security, if you like.
Click on image to enlarge
|With a bottom-whorl spindle, tie the leader above the whorl, and then spiral the yarn up the spindle shaft.
Click on image to enlarge
|On bottom-whorl spindles, some spinners tie the leader above the whorl and bring the yarn down under the whorl, around the bottom of the shaft, and then back up to the top. Both ways work; see which one you like best.
Click on image to enlarge
|If your spindle has a hook (rather than a groove), catch the yarn with it and you are ready to go. If you have a groove, you will have to make a half hitch to hold the yarn to the spindle.
Click on image to enlarge
|Once the leader is on, start practicing with the spindle. Remember that most singles yarns are spun clockwise (to the right). Most spinners hold the fiber in the left hand and the spindle in the right hand, but try both ways and see which feels comfortable to you.
Hold the leader in one hand and with the other hand give the spindle a twist. Practice until you can get the spindle to turn smoothly. Periodically you will have to let the leader unwind so you don't accumulate too much twist.
Click on image to enlarge
|Wool is the easiest fiber to spin; carded wool is much easier to spin than combed. A nice, clean, medium wool is lovely to work with. Before you use the spindle, practice drafting out the fibers.
Take a handful of wool in one hand and with the other hand gently pull some of the fibers away from the mass and then add some twist by twisting the fibers in one direction between your fingers.
Click on image to enlarge
|That is what spinning is all about—drawing out the fibers and adding twist until you have created a stable yarn. Continue to pull out the fibers (drafting) and add more twist.
If you don't have enough twist, the yarn will fall apart. If you have too much twist, you won't be able to draw out the fibers. Spend a few minutes drafting out the fibers and adding twist-you will need to be able to maintain a comfortable rhythm when you start spinning.
Click on image to enlarge
|Once you are comfortable drafting out the fibers and twisting the spindle, put these actions together. Start by sitting down, if you're not already, because your lap will be a valuable tool. Before you start to spin, fluff out the end of the leader,
Click on image to enlarge
|then with one hand hold a handful of fiber and the leader together.
Click on image to enlarge
|With the other hand, twist the spindle clockwise. Watch the twist run up the leader and grab the fibers in your hand. You've just made a join.
Click on image to enlarge
|After you have made the join, twist the spindle and then stop it in your lap so it can't go backward. Slide your twisting hand above the spindle, pinch the leader, and draft out some fibers.
Click on image to enlarge
|Once the yarn is the right size, open up the pinching hand and let the twist run up and stabilize the fibers you have just drafted. Continue to twist the spindle, stop it in your lap by holding the shaft between your knees, pinch and draft.
You determine the size of the yarn by how much you pull the fibers out. A few fibers make a fine yarn; many fibers add bulk. If too much twist gets into the fiber, slide your fiber hand back a little and then draft out those fibers.
Click on image to enlarge
|When the yarn is longer than your arms, it's time to wind it onto the spindle. Keeping the yarn taut, wind it on the spindle clockwise and make a cone under the whorl on a top whorl and an upside-down cone on top of the bottom whorl.
The neater you wind the yarn on, the easier it will be to remove from the spindle.
Click on image to enlarge
|Pinching the yarn keeps the twist from running up into the fiber source. The twisting/pinching hand keeps the twist under control while the fiber hand drafts out the fibers to the correct size.
Click on image to enlarge
|After you feel comfortable spinning the spindle and stopping it on your lap, it is time to spin with the spindle suspended in the air. Continue to draft the fibers out the same way, but instead of stopping the spindle in your lap, let it keep spinning.
When it stops of its own accord and starts to twist counterclockwise, add more clockwise twist. If the spindle keeps going backward the twist will come out of the yarn, turn it back into fluff, and the spindle will drop.
Click on image to enlarge
|Soon you will have a spindle full of yarn. Now you can wind the yarn off the spindle and into a skein. Use a shoe box with holes punched in either side to hold the spindle.
|Niddy-noddys (pictured here) work for making skeins, but so does a chair with a straight back: Gently loop the yarn around and around the chair back until the spindle is empty. Tie the two ends of yarn together and before you take the yarn off the chair or niddy put a couple of figure-eight ties through the skein.
The yarn will probably be very curly in the skein, so you will need to set the twist.
Click on image to enlarge
|To set the twist: Fill the sink with warm water, add some mild detergent, and plop in the skein. Soak the yarn in the warm water for several minutes, take it out, and rinse. Remove excess moisture by wrapping the skein in an old towel and squeezing gently.
Click on image to enlarge
|If a skein seems twisty and curly, you can put a weight on it to straighten out the kinks. I use a spray bottle as a weight. The handle hangs on the skein, and I fill the bottle with as much water as necessary to straighten out the yarn.
Once the yarn is hanging straight, let it dry, then stand back and admire your wonderful work.

Nitrogen Dioxide
Nitrogen Dioxide Implementation - Programs and Requirements for Reducing Oxides of Nitrogen
The Clean Air Act requires EPA to set National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for six criteria pollutants; nitrogen dioxide is one of these. EPA works with partners at state, local, and tribal air quality agencies to meet these standards.
Under the Clean Air Act (CAA), as amended in 1990, each state must develop a plan describing how it will attain and maintain the NAAQS. In other words, how it plans to clean up polluted areas and keep them clean. This plan is called the State Implementation Plan (SIP) and is required under Section 110 of the CAA (40 CFR Part 51, Subparts F & G). In general, the SIP is a collection of programs, including:
- a monitoring program, which is a collection of monitoring devices throughout the country which provide actual measurements of the concentrations in the air, to identify whether an area is meeting the air quality standards, and if not, how much reductions are needed to meet those standards;
- air quality calculations and computer modeling, which are used to predict future trends and the effects of emissions reduction strategies;
- emissions inventories, which describe the sources and categories of emissions to the air for a given pollutant, and how much is emitted by each source or source category;
- control strategy studies whose goal is finding the best way to reduce emissions in order to meet air quality standards;
- formal adoption of measures (enforceable by EPA, States and citizens) which ensure that we will achieve the reductions deemed necessary in the planning process;
- periodic review to evaluate whether those needed reductions were achieved in reality, and whether they had the predicted result.
The air quality agency responsible for the State Implementation Plan, (usually a state agency) must provide the public an opportunity to review the plan before sending it to EPA for approval.
In cases where the EPA fails to approve a state implementation plan, the Agency can issue and enforce a Federal Implementation Plan (FIP) to ensure attainment and maintenance of the NAAQS. In addition, the Clean Air Act contains penalties, referred to as "sanctions" which EPA can impose in areas not satisfying the State Implementation Plan requirements.

Currently Reading | Apartamento #07
August 31 2011
Apartamento is "a magazine interested in homes, living spaces and design solutions as opposed to houses, photo ops and design dictatorships. The magazine is a logical result of the post-materialist mind shift. People are bored with the ostentatious and über-marketing. There is a real quest for identity in the midst of mass production and globalization, and that quest leads to what is personal, what is natural, what is real."
Yep, and that's why it's currently my favorite magazine. It's got style and substance and spirit. Non of that flossy-flossy that gets eatened up by Unhappy Hipsters. The stories are fun and engaging, the photographs are beautiful, and the design and layout is pretty clever. I grabbed my copy at a local bookstore but you can grab a copy here. This issue has an everyday life food supplement for all you healthy foodies.

How to Be Happy (When You Need a Boost)
Those all-inclusive trips with your girlfriends to Cancun are fun, but your sightseeing options are usually pretty limited. Curious to see more of the world? Consider booking a solo trip to an exotic locale like India, New Zealand, or Thailand. You can hook up with like-minded travelers along the way and make new pals. Still sound too scary? Go alone, but find a guided tour.
Okay, so you don't actually have to get a pilot's license. But you should use your single status to pursue your interests. Curious about wine? Go to a wine tasting at a local winery. Drool all over those DIY necklaces on Pinterest? Find a craft store and take a jewelry-making class. The possibilities are only limited to what you can manage to squeeze into your schedule.

Red Sox fans who met on Twitter get married at Fenway Park, live tweet the event
Cody Anderson and Shannon Armitage met on Twitter two and a half years ago, bonded through their mutual love for the Boston Red Sox. The Red Sox official Twitter account had given Armitage a shout out on her birthday. Anderson noticed the tweet, noticed her and soon made his move.
Twitter turned into texting, texting turned into dating, dating turned into Shannon moving nearly 1,200 miles from Massachusetts to Illinois to live with Cody. On Friday morning, the couple tied the knot, and they did it at Fenway Park, because what other place could be more perfect? After all, the Red Sox Twitter account basically introduced the two of them.
We'll let them and their tweets tell the rest of the story:
The morning is finally here! Still cant believe any of this is real! Time to put the tux on! Haha #DoubleRingCeremony pic.twitter.com/Ddcat0abmN
Of course, they stayed for the game.

Clayton Kershaw, Max Scherzer dominate Cy Young voting like they dominated MLB hitters
No surprises in this year's MLB Cy Young voting: Clayton Kershaw of the Los Angeles Dodgers and Max Scherzer of the Detroit Tigers ran away with the awards, much like they rolled over their competition in 2013.
Kershaw — 16-9 with a 1.83 ERA and 0.92 WHIP in 236 innings — earned 29 of 30 first-place votes. He's the 17th pitcher to win multiple Cy Youngs, with a 2011 award already to his name. Adam Wainwright of the St. Louis Cardinals and Jose Fernandez of the Miami Marlins finished second and third, respectively. Wainwright got the other first-place vote.
It wasn't really close in the AL either. Scherzer — who was 21-3, with a 2.90 ERA and 0.97 WHIP in 214.1 innings — earned 28 of 30 first-place votes, easily besting Yu Darvish of the Texas Rangers and Hisashi Iwakuma of the Seattle Mariners. Chris Sale of the Chicago White Sox and Scherzer's Tigers teammate Anibal Sanchez didn't finish in the top three, but each received a first-place vote.

The Red Sox offense needs to wake up — here are five things that would help
The Boston Red Sox marched into the postseason with baseball's best record, the most runs scored in the regular season and the highest on-base and slugging percentages in the league. Boston then dispatched of the Tampa Bay Rays rather soundly in the ALDS, hitting .286 as a team and scoring 26 runs.
Somewhere between the end of the ALDS and the start of the ALCS against the Detroit Tigers, the Red Sox offense disappeared. Boston's batting average has dipped an even 100 points through four games in the ALCS. It's .186.
They've scored only 10 runs in four games, but managed to win two of them. Their victories were a 6-5 walk-off in Game 2 (which included that instant-classic David Ortiz grand slam) and a 1-0 thriller in Game 3(in which Mike Napoli hit that well-timed go-ahead dinger).

A-Rod sues MLB alleging the Biogenesis investigation was a 'witch hunt'
On the last scheduled day of the hearing to appeal his 211-game suspension, embattled New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez and his legal team escalated their fight against Major League Baseball to a new level. A-Rod's camp's filed a lawsuit against MLB, naming Commissioner Bud Selig a co-defendant and calling the entire Biogenesis saga a "witch hunt" and a "scorched earth investigation."
Among the claims in the suit: MLB paid an investigator $150,000 for stolen records and paid Biogenesis clinic owner Anthony Bosch $5 million to "buy his cooperation." All of it is deemed "tortious interference" in the suit, which says MLB's goal was taking down A-Rod, evading baseball's collectively-bargained agreements and making Selig look like the "savior" of baseball.
The New York Times broke the news of the lawsuit and its story had this statement from A-Rod:
A toast to the 2013 San Diego Padres
Editor's note: We're saying goodbye to teams mathematically eliminated from the 2013 MLB season with a toast. Want to contribute? Follow @BigLeagueStew on Twitter and await our call for submissions. Next up, the San Diego Padres.
Let's not pretend the San Diego Padres ever really had a chance to win the NL West. They had a nice little run in June, when they got close enough to wave at first place, but that was really about it. We're not trying to be mean to the Padres. They're just in the same division as the team with the highest payroll in baseball, plus the defending champs.
But you know what? The Padres (71-81 right now) did OK this season. As of this writing, they're in third place in the West. Barely. But, hey, it's third place. Not finishing the season in fourth or fifth would be huge for them. So let's have a toast to the Padres.
We're not going to bogart this toast. Here's what the people had to say to the 2013 Padres:

Nationals get stunning win over the Braves, add a bit of magic to their late-season charge
The Washington Nationals are one of the hottest teams in baseball right now, in the middle of an unlikely postseason charge after months of disappointment. The Nats are still long shots for that second NL Wild Card but have their fingers crossed that they can pull off a made-for-the-movies comeback. That requires more than just being good. It requires luck.
And Tuesday, facing the division-leading Atlanta Braves at a time when every loss closes their coffin door a bit, the Nats seized an improbable bit of luck in a stunning 6-5 win.
Washington was down 5-3 going into the bottom of the ninth facing Craig Kimbrel, the best closer in baseball. He had a 1.04 ERA coming into Tuesday's game and had only given up seven runs all season. Further, he hadn't blown a save since May 7 and had only given up two runs since the start of July.
The Nats were able to load the bases on Kimbrel after two walks and a base hit. That in itself is a rarity. Washington scored one run on a fielder's choice. That brought Denard Span to the plate with runners at second and third and one out.
DeSean Jackson does Cousin Terio dance after touchdown, channeling young Internet sensationMike Oz at Shutdown Corner 3 yrs ago
Among the things we learned about the Philadelphia Eagles early in Monday night's game against the Washington Redskins: Speedy wide receiver DeSean Jackson is apparently a big fan of "Cousin Terio" and his dance moves.
Just watch Jackson doing his best impression of the 7-year-old Internet sensation after catching a 25-yard touchdown from Michael Vick in the first quarter and celebrating in the end zone. It put the Eagles up 10-7 and gave a different type of audience to Terio.
The youngster has achieved viral Internet fame for his "Ohh, Kill 'Em" dance (called that because of the narration by his cousin who films him dancing). Terio's dance moves, originally posted on Vine, have been compiled by Mashable and Complex among others. The YouTube video below is the definitive look at Terio's hilarious (wonderful? inspirational?) dance steps:
Fan dies after falling from upper deck at Atlanta's Turner Field before Braves game
We don't know why a man fell from the upper deck of Turner Field before Monday night's Atlanta Braves game and we don't who the man is, but we do know the tragic ending — he was dead a few hours later in a nearby hospital.
According to an MLB.com report, the man fell 65 feet from an upper-level platform into the private players' parking lot. He was rushed to Atlanta Medical Center where first reports had him in critical condition. He was pronounced dead later in the evening.
From The Associated Press:
"At this time there's no indication of foul play and the fall appears accidental," said Atlanta police spokesman John Chafee. "It appears he fell from an upper-level platform to a secured lot below" ...
Chafee said the fall occurred on the stadium's back side. He said witnesses described the fall as accidental, but that police were not releasing other details of what they said. He said he did not know if wet conditions or alcohol were factors.
Pete Rose says he 'picked the wrong vice,' alcohol or drugs would have gotten him another chance
Between the recent Hall of Fame inductions, the banned-for-life threats aimed at Alex Rodriguez and last week's Biogenesis suspensions, we've heard Pete Rose's name a lot recently.
These are all instances that will cause Rose's fans to prop him up as a victim, to make the case that baseball's all-time hit king is getting a bum rap and deserves a spot in the Hall of Fame.
The logic goes like this: If a guy who uses PEDs gets caught and only gets a 50-game suspension (not even a third of a season), then should Rose be banned for life for gambling?
That might not be enough to get Rose back into baseball, but it will give fans enough reason to keep sticking up for him.
Red Sox trio watches an Athletics-Blue Jays game on their day off
Astute watchers of Monday's Oakland Athletics-Toronto Blue Jays game might have noticed three guys sitting behind home plate who looked like they could run out on the field and play some ball. That's because they could.
A trio of Boston Red Sox — Dustin Pedroia, Jonny Gomes and Jarrod Saltalamacchia — were spotted watching the Jays and A's, from two row behind home plate, proving that some ballplayers can't stay away from the game, even on their day off.
The Red Sox just finished a stretch of 17 games in 17 days on Sunday, then flew from Kansas City to Toronto, where they'd have an off day before starting a series with the Blue Jays on Tuesday. It was their first day off since July 25.
What to do with that free time? Sleep in? Go to the mall and buy some new underwear? Get a haircut? (Saltalamacchia more than Pedroia). Well, maybe — but these three Red Sox took in some matinee baseball first. How often do you see that?

New Campbellsville University head football coach Perry Thomas did not have to look far for his initial signee when he inked one of the most famous last names in Central Kentucky with Somerset quarterback Ross Deaton on Thursday.
Deaton, who did not play this fall, threw for 3,726 yards and 43 touchdowns to lead the Briar Jumpers to a 9-5 record in 2006 before being eliminated by eventual Class A state champion Newport Central Catholic.

BELLEVUE, Wash. — Mitchell Tolman drove in two more runs on Wednesday against Seattle, but it wasn't enough for the No. 11 Oregon baseball team in a 3-2 nonconference loss at Bannerwood Park.
Oregon (34-11) had runners at the corners and one out in the top of the ninth but Brett Thomas grounded into a 4-6-3 double play to end the game.
Tolman, who was 1-for-3, finished the two-game series against Seattle with nine RBIs. Thomas went 2-for-5 with a run scored.
Seattle (18-26) took an early 2-0 lead with single runs in both the first and second innings. Chase Fields led off the first with a single and scored on a Nate Roberts' double. Fields made it 2-0 after driving in Steve Kirbach in the second.
Tolman tied the game with a two-run single in the top of the third that drove in Thomas and Nick Catalano, but Seattle took the lead back in the bottom of the fourth on a sacrifice fly by Cash McGuire.
Cole Wiper (1-1) took the loss, allowing a run on two hits in two innings pitched. Andrew Olson (5-4) got the win for Seattle while Eric Yardley picked up his 10th save.
Oregon continues a five-game road trip when the Ducks open a three-game Pac-12 Conference series at Washington State on Friday at 6 p.m.

Size & Fit Details
Bowery classic pant in cotton twill
Rated 4.3 out of 5 by 35 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by iowntoomuchjcrew Navy version For a "classic" fit they are still definitely on the slim side. I wouldn't go with the slim fit if you plan on wearing in the work place. Otherwise comfortable pants, quality and fit is good overall. I wear the same pant size in these as I do Jcrew jeans and their Ludlow trousers. January 9, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Michigangrad Chinos that get the job done The Bowery Classic Cotton Twill is comfortable and roomy, but not baggy. It is trim enough to give a neat, casual look. May 15, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Lemmy Great business casual/semi-formal office pants These are great office wear pants. They're more polished than chinos, but not quite as formal as dress pants. A perfect in between pant that is acceptable for most office settings. A wide selection of colours provides many otions and I have found consistency in the fit of each of the three colours I own the pants in. Do note, however, that after washing the crease will be gone. They still look great without a crease though. June 27, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Naji Bowery Classic I like these pants more than slim fit. These are durable pants can last upto 2 years. November 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Russ Great pants This is my fourth pair and the 3 previous pair are still in great shape after 2+ years! October 14, 2014

Wing Wizards - Ben Arfa,Sinclair and Ince
So have read Liverpool have been linked with these three players, not really an area I think we need much improving in as I feel Downing has more than made his mark this season out on the right but I hear through the grape vine he could potentialy be off leaving the door open to a new player out wide especialy if that absolute little Brazilian gem Coutinho gets moved into a number 10 role behind the striker, maybe even 2 wide players.
Who would represent best value for money and skill keeping in mind we really look like we are skint and really need to find a Carra replacement.
YNWA JFT 96Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
Ironically, I was just going to start a post about Scott Sinclair, who I wanted more than any player last summer that I thought Rodgers could bring with him, and would be an affordable, effective attacking winger, particularly for our system.. based on the following from Mancini via Sky, I think we outta be all over this.. He's only 23, and an outstanding talent.. City paid 6M for him, so they could hardly ask for more than 4-6M, since they haven't done anything to boost his stock and have to clear his wages so they can buy Cavani, Falcao, Maradona and Pele.. Scott Sinclair for me, yes please!!
And, I would not sell Downing unless someone made some sort of 10M+ bid because I think he's been the most improved player of the season, and his work rate has been as good as any, plus we need to add and strengthen, not reduce and replace. If a player like Sinclair comes in and earns the nod over Stewart, then so be it, but we'll be better off for it come Cup matches and perhaps Europa if we manage to make it..

Yeah think your right Jason, fits the price range Rogers will possibley have spare to get an attacking player and has history with Rogers and would be already familiar with his tactics and style of fluid passing play.
Think we are in the Europa league due to fair play rules or somthing about being second best disiplined team in the league under Arsenal which grants us entry.
Scott Sinclair, Ben Arfa and Ince are all interesting players. Personally, I think we should cash in on Downing, we have added some value to him again this season but he just seems lacking in pace and doesnt really chip in with goals in the way Coutinho is now or really create that clear opportunities. He looks confident and is playing well but I dont think the goal threat will come and age will come into it soon. Ince seems the perfect build for the future player and has a definite eye for goal, Ben Arfa looks awesome but struggles to stay fit, he defintely has the most ability whilst Sinclair is the safest blend of the pair and at an age to come in and do well instantly. I would personally be happy with any of them replacing Stewie but I would rather get Eriksen in and leave Coutinho wide if we can't afford to go for 2 attacking midfielders.

I think I'd like to stick with Downing for at least one more season, although you do make a good point regarding the age. But these days 29 I don't see as a major issue in terms of his ability, but it does mean his sell on fee will start dropping. But to be honest even with the improvement we've seen from him this season I don't see us getting our money back on him as its only mid table or lower clubs that would go for him.
But I think he can still be a real asset for us. Right now he's still number one for the wide right position, and unless we went for a big name I think that would still be the case next season. But I think he does represent a bridge between now and when the likes of Sterling, or Ince (if he comes) are ready to be starters.Sinclair might push harder for a starting slot, but since we've not seen him in 12 months not sure about that. Ben Arfa on a good day would be better, but I'm just not impressed with his work rate, and his injury issues would be a major concern.
Probably a shock to you and most to hear me say that I don't think we should sell Downing, unless a very generous offer comes in, and who knows. He doesn't get the goals/assists as the other top wide players, but ironically enough, under Rodgers guidance, his attacking game and overall has dramatically improved, as has his ability to use 2 feet.. I think he's on 4 goals 6 assists, and 2 of them were superb RIGHT footed deliveries to Sturridge/Agger respectively. That said, his age is a factor, but at 29 he can still improve a bit, and I think the other guys mentioned could learn a bit and push him, not to mention, his ability to play left back is invaluable.. But again, 8-10M and yes I'd take it.
The thing is, if we do sell him, we'd have to add 2, so figure Ince & Sinclair, since I personally don't rate Ben Arfa as far as his fitness, consistency, and ability to play inverted attacking winger, though he's awfully talented. I think having Ince and Downing would do nicely, or Ince and Sinclair of course, both could cost 10-12 combined, but I think next year another key element to this is, Rodgers wants the experience and competition, and there's no guarantee Ince will step up to the plate right out of the gates, or Sinclair will adapt 100% after rotting all season at City..
As for Eriksen, he was more or less my #1 realistic target (unless there's any chance at Tello), but having seen what Coutinho can do in the 10 spot, which puts pressure on Sturridge and Henderson who both play through the middle and won't take a spot from Suarez, makes me think Coutinho could be just about damed close to Eriksen, only he's younger, maybe less goals. So from that area, he can create all day long.
The really interesting thing with Eriksen, whether we get him or not, and I'd heard him once say he'd only leave for Madrid, but things change, is that the Sporting Director and Manager of Ajax have said LFC have been the most frequent visitors as far as scouting trips and watching players, and Eriksen, and Toby Alderweirdeld, the Belgian Centre Back both the primary links and targets. HOWEVER, not sure if anyone's heard of, or seen this lad, but if there's any chance in the world we can get 2 players, he's got to be one of them, absolutely DYNAMITE, faster, and more explosive than Eriksen, plays all spots up front, even CF.. Viktor Fischer - Denmark, you heard him here first!!! Obviously a ManUre fan made this clip, but have a look, he's ridiculous. We need to send Agger to Ajax for our recruiting trips..

SAN JOSE -- Earthquakes forward Steven Lenhart hasn't scored since his return from a knee injury, but the team has struck five times in two games.
Coincidence? His teammates don't think so.
"Lenny is a difference-maker," winger Shea Salinas said. "When he's healthy and energetic he's the engine of our team."
The revved-up Quakes (4-4-4), who have won three of their past four, will play at Toronto FC (5-4-1) on Saturday. Another road win would give them a 3-1 record without U.S. national team call-up Chris Wondolowski going into the World Cup break.
How important is Lenhart to the attack? The team has nine goals in the five games he's played this season, all of them starts, and just six goals in the other seven games.
"He's an animal," forward Alan Gordon said of Lenhart. "It doesn't matter how long he's been out or how unfit he is, he's still gonna be effective and make plays."
The 6-foot-1 Lenhart's back doing the dirty work after missing seven weeks with a sprained left MCL. In his May 25 return, he created two goals by drawing fouls in the penalty box in a 3-0 win over Houston. Khari Stephenson scored one on a penalty kick and another off an indirect free kick by Salinas.
Lenhart also assisted a goal by Atiba Harris with a pinpoint chest-pass in a 2-1 win over host FC Dallas on May 31.
Moreover, Lenhart and speedy Yannick Djalo are forming an intriguing partnership.
"Lenny's been great for us since he's been back," coach Mark Watson said. "He's a big, strong presence, and he runs for 90 minutes, whether that's chasing guys down or looking to get balls over the top to stretch the field, he's done that."
Before his injury, Lenhart played 90 minutes in the Quakes' only other three-goal effort this season -- a 3-3 draw against Real Salt Lake on March 15.
Lenhart, who does not do interviews with the media, scored a career-high 10 goals in the Quakes' run to a 2012 Supporters' Shield, after being traded from Columbus for a first-round draft pick. He had four goals during an injury-plagued 2013 season.
Watson said the first half of the FC Dallas game was the team's best attacking display this season.
"The team overall is getting better and better," he said. "We had a slower start than we would have liked, but we've been plugging away and everyone is starting to come together. ... That's very encouraging."
Djalo has Quakes fans recalling the attacking prowess of ex-Quake Simon Dawkins in 2012, a facet the team lacked in 2013. Gordon is enjoying the Djalo-Lenhart show from the sideline.
"I think Yannick's fantastic," Gordon said. "He's a special player, and Lenny's doing a lot of the dirty work for him to get him open and take a lot of the pressure off him."

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. - In last week's article we introduced the idea that access to adequate mental health services both here in the Tahoe Basin and nationwide can be sketchy at best. Against the backdrop of our Nation's crucial debate on gun violence we also took a quick look at what might lead someone to a destructive course and some indicators that someone might need urgent treatment. In this article we will try to examine some of the root causes of our current mental health dilemma, the impact that adequate treatment can achieve, and a quick look at available mental health resources.
The first question for many people is "How did our society get to this place where random violence seems almost commonplace?" Although it should be clear that most mentally ill people do not commit violent crimes, part of the answer may have roots in mental health policy changes over three decades ago. When the mentally ill were deinstitutionalized in the 70s and 80s, the plan was for the money to be put into a cohesive outpatient treatment program with medication and rehabilitative services. This never happened.
Our mentally ill tumbled onto the streets or ended up in correctional facilities. In fact, prisons have become our "new asylums" (Frontline, 12/19/12). There are many complex reasons for this that go beyond the scope of this article, but any, even small changes, would require tremendous political will, which Washington and State governments (at least in the past), have proven incapable of possessing.
In his seminal piece for Medscape (12/20/12), James Knoll, M.D. defined a system as "an organized, regularly interacting set of principles forming a network ... for the purpose of distributing something or serving a common purpose." By this definition, we do not have a mental health system in the United States. The Surgeon General's report on U.S. Mental Health called it the "de facto mental health service system." So by the Surgeon General's report, the mental health system in the United States is at best unofficial and at worst, illegitimate (James Knoll, M.D., Medscape, 12/20/12).
Without a functioning mental health system in place it is important to recognize that as individuals we can still play a part in prevention and referral. In a recent example from the Midwest, the mother of Blaec Lammers of Bolivar, Missouri, contacted police when she became concerned about her son's increasingly erratic behavior and violent obsessions. The police interviewed the son and found a stockpile of weapons with the intent of hitting several theaters premiering the final Twilight episode. He had a plan and the means to kill scores of people. He also had a mother who had the courage to turn him into the police and get him the help he needed.
Help may come in the form of residential treatment, counseling or medications. For severe mental illness, medications are often extremely effective. Take the shooters of John Lennon and Ronald Reagan - after adequate treatment for their mental illnesses, they expressed great remorse and despair over their actions. If only they could have obtained that insight before their desperate and violent acts.
We have effective medications for the treatment of psychoses, mood instability and depressive illnesses, which can potentially prevent a downward spiral into paranoia and despair - the kind that sometimes leads to violent acts, such as suicide or homicide. Therapy can help with coping skills, correcting cognitive distortions and improving reality testing.
What resources are there for those experiencing psychiatric difficulties? First, families should check their insurance and confirm that it is comprehensive and covers mental health treatment (not all do). Second, find out what kind of treatment it will cover: only outpatient services, or will it cover acute hospitalization or residential treatment? For those without mental health coverage or the uninsured, there are still options to explore.
In Northern Nevada we have Northern Nevada Mental Health Services (located in Reno). For outlying areas, there is the Rural Clinic system that accepts both patients with Medicaid or without insurance. We also have nonprofit organizations like Tahoe Family Solutions in Incline Village that accept patients on a sliding fee scale. Lastly, there are many national organizations that can help in directing families to the appropriate services.
These include the National Alliance on Mental Illness, the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and the American Psychiatric Association, amongst many others. The main point is that you CAN be an advocate for those you love, even within an imperfect "system."
- Kristin Hestdalen, M.D., is a board-certified child and adolescent psychiatrist, is a staff psychiatrist at Tahoe Family Solutions and chief psychiatrist with Sierra Mental Health Associates. Learn more at www.tahoefamily.org.

New Treatments for Patients
Week in Review: The Many Facets of R&D
08.30.13 | By
Making a new treatment available to patients takes more than a decade and a billion dollars. Given the time and resources it takes to successfully bring a drug to market, the need for strong intellectual property (IP) protections in the U.S. and abroad has never been more important. Our VP of International Affairs, Jay Taylor, emphasized this point when discussing the 19th round Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) negotiations that happened this week in Brunei. Jay noted that if IP isn't protected, it would not only result in fewer new medicines for patients, but also have a potentially damaging effect on the U.S. economy and job growth.
Innovative R&D also stems from the ability to share and learn from clinical trial data. In a "Conversations" wrap-up this week, our President and CEO John Castellani indicated that the biopharmaceutical industry is one of many groups that understands the importance of clinical trial data, and that other leading health organizations also aim to protect patient privacy while taking steps forward in health care innovation. Clinical trials are essential to developing new treatments for patients, and Marcia Horn of International Cancer Advocacy Network (ICAN) has advocated for increased clinical trial participation to help expedite the R&D process, while increasing patient education on potential treatments for various diagnoses. Through initiatives like "Research in your Backyard," we are carrying out clinical trials with diverse groups of patients to target debilitating chronic diseases like diabetes, heart disease and cancer.
Unfortunately, there are a number of barriers when trying to improve R&D in the biopharmaceutical industry. Executive Director for the Partnership for Safe Medicines, Scott LaGanga, traveled to India this week to discuss the health and systemic risks of counterfeit, substandard or otherwise unsafe medicines sold in the region. Such medications put patient health at risk and deter the development of innovative new medications.
The innovative R&D process is impacted by a variety of factors. Be sure to check The Catalyst often to learn more about what we're doing to improve biopharmaceutical research and development so Americans live longer, healthier lives.
