An examination of the astrology of this Presidential campaign, using many difficult predictive techniques, is a complicated enterprise. Here are some of the things I have surmised from my investigation.
Obama and Romney do not like each other or even respect each other; in fact they drive each other a bit crazy. There's also sufficient Mars intruding on the first debate that it may be a rhetorical Armageddon. Expect an October surprise of some kind, one that will make Obama look bad, although his campaign will probably survive intact. Romney may wilt sometime before the end of the campaign, a victim of physical stress or exhaustion.
An Indian newspaper remarked on a distubring trend ...
It is not rare that private nursing homes are accused of making extra money by conducting Caesarian Section (CS) operations even in cases normal deliveries were possible.
But an unlikely section of people are now helping gynaecologists share the blame, though in a limited way.
Astrologers are suggesting 'time slots' for delivery that can be achieved only through CS.

Our friends in The Hush Sound are getting back together for two shows next month in Chicago so we decided they'd be a great choice for our Sunday Night Music Club. HERE is the song 'Don't Wake Me Up' featuring guest vocals by Patrick Stump of Fall Out Boy from the band's second album Like Vines - released by Fueled By Ramen and Decaydance in 2006.
I looked in the dark
The room calm and cold
And quiet hollow
I am such a haunted soul
Your ghost has gone to bed
It's all cold

Well... It's been about 4 months since we've written to you guys. Awkward! But honestly, this "off-time" has set the record for the longest amount of time we've ever spent off since before the couple of weeks we spent making our 1st full length album back in 2005.
Don't kid yourself though. It hasn't been all hangs and no hard work!
What the three of us want you to know is we are headed to Los Angeles next week to meet with a whole mess of really incredible producers. And we are - basically - bringing you along with us to find the one that will help us create our 4th full length album.
So, we're taking a video camera with us to producer meetings, hotel recording sessions, and all of our LA adventures.

We recently had a chance to speak to Green Day drummer Tre Cool about the upcoming Green Day: Rock Band. The outspoken stickmaster gave us the inside skinny on the band's involvement in the production of the game, the exciting unlockable bonus features, and his "sneaky uncle."
How did you get approached to do this project? Was it after you had seen the Beatles game?
It was during development of the Beatles game. They had a lot of the bonus material already compiled, some of the unseen Beatles stuff. That's what really impressed me.

PARKERSBURG - Officials are working on a deal to construct a 100-unit hotel in Parkersburg near the traffic circle.
Next week members of the Parkersburg City Council Finance Committee will consider a proposed cooperation agreement between the city and MPH Hotels to develop a 100-unit hotel. Officials are hoping to construct the hotel on the Henry Logan Head Start Center site on 24th Street.
"Our intention is to develop a 100-unit, upscale national-franchised hotel," said Michael Holtz, president and CEO of MPH Hotels.

Officials with MPH Hotels have contracted to buy the Henry Logan Head Start Center on 24th Street to construct an $8 million-$9 million national-franchise hotel. The 100-unit hotel is slated for construction this spring. Mayor Bob Newell said once complete, officials anticipate about $185,000 in annual hotel/motel tax, of which $90,000 goes to the city.

Holtz said the proposed hotel will be an $8 million-$9 million project.
"We think it will be one of the premiere franchise hotels in the marketplace, and we are really looking forward to it," he said.
Pat Minnite Sr., with the PM Co., is an investor in the project.
Article Map
"It is in the works," Minnite said. "We are contracting to buy that piece of land and build a hotel."
Holtz said officials are in the "due diligence stage" of soil testing and environmental reviews.
Officials are looking at a spring groundbreaking, he said.
Mayor Bob Newell said the location is nice, with good visibility from the Memorial Bridge and other areas.
The group is the same partnership that recently completed an $8 million Fairfield Inn on Ohio 7 near the Marietta Country Club. Officials have also announced a Comfort Suites in Marietta.
The group also owns the Wingate Inn in Vienna and the Holiday Inn Express in Mineral Wells.
"We know the market pretty well," Holtz said.
Under the cooperation agreement, the city would grant the hotel a B&O tax credit/exemption for a five-year period from its commencement, as well as on all construction costs. The exemption is different for the step-rate B&O rate council is also debating for new businesses.
The city would also assist in the development of the site in the amount of $200,000 payable in two, $100,000 payments. The hotel would create at least 15 full-time jobs that would be maintained for at least five years. Newell said the $200,000 is CDBG money.
"It's (Community Development Block Grant) money to create jobs," the mayor said. Newell said that has been done for other businesses, such as Highmark West Virginia, when its new headquarters was built.
Holtz said Newell was aggressive in helping assist the deal.
"He was wanting us to get a place inside Parkersburg and convincing us to build."
According to the cooperation agreement, the hotel is expected to develop a 100-unit hotel, including approximately 37 suites. The hotel will feature an indoor pool and exercise facility.
Earlier this spring Newell announced officials were interested in developing a 100-room hotel and restaurant on Fifth Street, where the Salvation Army is located. An on-site, free-standing restaurant does not appear to be in the plans for the hotel.
Holtz said there are contingencies (conference center or free-standing restaurant) on this site.
"This is a much cleaner deal," Holtz said.
Newell said the city will also work with state highway officials on ingress and egress at the site. Newell said developers have expressed a need to access Emerson Avenue.
"We will help them work with the state when it comes to traffic and stormwater issues."
Newell said once complete, officials anticipate about $185,000 in annual hotel/motel tax.
"Of which, $90,000 goes directly to the city."

Croce family savors Steven's winning TD
SOUTHBURY — As Steve Croce and his son Kellen, a freshman at the University of Maine, were driving down Judd Road on Friday night after a six-hour trek from Orono, they saw the Pomperaug High scoreboard clock still lit and showing :00.
It was a tad too late as father and brother missed out seeing junior wide receiver Steven Croce's 12-yard game-winning touchdown reception from junior quarterback Wade Prajer with 18 seconds left in the game to lift the Panthers to a 35-32 win over previously undefeated Masuk.
The morning after the dramatic game, Kelly Croce, Steven and Kellen's mom and Steve Croce's wife, tried to explain what happened.
"For the last minute, 17 seconds, I tried to give Steve and Kellen a good description of what was happening, but I guess I didn't do a very good job," said Kelly Croce.
Afterward, the Croces all heard about the heroics of their son and brother who caught a career-high 14 passes for 157 yards, including a 39-yard TD earlier in the fourth quarter to help the Panthers rally.
Just before the last play, Prajer (who completed 38 of 54 passes for 401 yards) went to the sidelines to talk to head coach David Roach and offensive coordinator Steve Prajer.
"I followed Wade to the sidelines and told my coaches that I know that I can get open, and they called the fade," said Croce. "When I got to the line, I knew that I had to focus. We worked on that play in practice earlier in the week. I knew it would work. Wade's passes have been perfect in practice and in games."
There was one problem, though. Croce was very close to the left sideline when he caught the ball.
"I was less than a foot from the sideline," admitted Croce, "but definitely got both feet down. When I saw the official raise his arms, the team went crazy and Matt Silverman, Seamus Conway, Nico Rosa and Wade (Prajer) all jumped on me. I have a few bruises because of the pile-on, but I'll gladly take it for a win and a moment like that."
With 18 seconds left, Pomperaug kicking specialist Nick Harper chip-kicked the ball and teammate Mike Curcio recovered to seal the win, the first Pomperaug win over Masuk since the 2009 South-West Conference championship, a 38-23 decision.
"Even when we were down 14-0, there was something different about us," said Pomperaug assistant coach Kevin Maxen, a key member of the 2009 team. "There was an excitement that I hadn't seen in a while. The kids responded."
Pomperaug senior tri-captain Nico Rosa was still making his block to protect his quarterback, so he didn't actually see Prajer toss up the ball.
Croce said his brothers, Kellen, a former Pomperaug and Gunnery School quarterback, and Michael, a former Holy Cross and Bryant University standout QB and engineer of the 2006 state high school championship for the Crusaders, taught him how to handle pressured situations.
Flanked by his brother Kellen and sisters Allie and Abbey on Saturday, Steven was still savoring the milestone moment.
"I must have gotten 20 text messages (Friday night) and when I hit the pillow, I was so tried and was out like a light," he said.

Today: An investigation into fires in Tesla's Model S reaches its conclusion with a promise of a fix, and the electric car company compromises on its sales structure in deal with New York. Also: Two more Silicon Valley IPOs close out first quarter.
The Lead: Tesla offers fix for Model S fires, reaches deal with New York
Two challenging issues for Tesla Motors seemed to reach their conclusion Friday, and Wall Street voiced its approval by pushing the company's stock back up at the end of a rough week.
A federal investigation -- sparked by fires caused by road debris striking the underside of the Palo Alto company's Model S -- reached its conclusion Friday with Tesla announcing that it would place stronger shields on the belly of its signature offering. The cars are not being recalled for the addition of the plates, but Model S units manufactured since March 6 will include the safety feature and current Model S owners can request the free retrofit.
"The underbody shields are not needed for a high level of safety," founder and CEO Elon Musk said in a Friday blog post. "However, there is significant value to minimizing owner inconvenience in the event of an impact and addressing any lingering public misperception about electric vehicle safety."
Kelley Blue Book analyst Karl Brauer told the Mercury News that the outcome was good for Tesla, explaining, "It could have been a much more expensive fix if NHTSA decided they needed to redesign the battery pack," but added that it was basically a recall that didn't use the word "recall."
"NHTSA's reaction to the problem and how they are resolving it is basically a recall," Brauer said Friday. "They are closing the investigation only because Tesla is making this change to cars they are producing and sending out notices, suggesting people come in and get the change to cars already made."
Friday afternoon, Tesla received more good news when negotiations with New York about the company's direct-sales structure led to a compromise that will allow Tesla to maintain its current sales outlets in the state and possibly add more. Similar to a deal struck earlier this week in Ohio, the breakthrough could lead to other compromises as auto dealers fight the company's entry into markets in several states, and Tesla seeks to avoid results like New Jersey's ban on sales.
Lou Roberti, chairman of New York's Automobile Dealers Association, Tesla's combatant in the state, told the Wall Street Journal that Friday's compromise could "serve as a model for other states as they consider how to accommodate Tesla and a distribution system that has served the public well."
Diarmuid O'Connell, Tesla's vice president of business development, told the Journal that the agreement "protects franchise dealers' existing business while allowing Tesla to continue to pursue its mission of catalyzing the market for sustainable transportation."
Tesla stock rebounded from recent weakness after the investigation officially ended Friday morning, gaining 2.4 percent to $212.37, and shares moved closer to $213 in late action following reports of the New York compromise. the company's high-flying stock had been scuffling before Friday, dropping 9.4 percent for the week and 21.8 percent form the all-time intraday high of $265, set in late February.
The next big milestone for Tesla will be a decision on the placement of its planned battery-production facility, dubbed the Gigafactory. A report Friday suggested that Reno is in the lead for the Gigafactory, as it has had more advanced discussions than other possible locations.
SV150 market report: Two Silicon Valley IPOs close out busy quarter
Tech stocks bounced back slightly from a weak week Friday, as two more Silicon Valley companies made their debuts on Wall Street.
Sunnyvale's Aerohive Networks brought in $75 million in an initial public offering before making its debut Friday morning on the New York Stock Exchange, where shares initially dipped from the $10 IPO price before closing at $9.99. The company, which offers a wireless network option for large businesses that utilizes cloud management tools and focuses on mobile-device usage, is studded with executives and engineers that helped NetScreen Technologies perform a huge IPO in 2002 before being acquired by Juniper Networks in a $4 billion deal in 2004. Pleasanton's Energous, a young company seeking to make equipment that will charge mobile devices from a distance with no wires, also went public and enjoyed a much larger first-day pop, rising 76.3 percent from an IPO price of $8 to a closing price of $11.45.
The debuts ended a first quarter that also included Thursday's debut of San Leandro's TriNet Group and earlier debuts from San Jose's A10 Networks, San Francisco's Castlight Health, Mountain View's Coupons.com and a host of biotechnology companies including Redwood City's Versartis. Nasdaq reported Thursday that it had hosted 45 IPOs in the first quarter, its busiest start to the year since 2007, including all 22 biotech companies that have debuted this year. The total amount raised for Nasdaq IPOs was $2.6 billion, which paled in comparison to the total for the NYSE, which had 30 IPOs that raised $8.75 billion, 72 percent of all the proceeds raised in U.S. IPOs in the first quarter, according to spokeswoman Judy Shaw. The pace picked up at the end of the first quarter and should continue to be strong, with Silicon Valley companies Corium International and Five9 expected to go public next week, along with tech companies from elsewhere such as GrubHub, OPower and The Rubicon Project.
Apple dropped 0.1 percent to $536.86 amid reports that it will expand its sapphire production in Arizona, and Google gained 0.5 percent to $1,120.15 while throwing marketers a bone in its Gmail setup. Facebook dropped 1.6 percent to $60.01 after Thursday afternoon's focus on using drones and lasers to expand Internet access, and rival Twitter gained 2.1 percent to $47.30 while reportedly gearing up to offer a mobile advertising product to app makers. Gilead Sciences fell 4 percent to a four-month low of $68.55 after a report said that new prescriptions for its Sovaldi hepatitis C drug declined as Congress investigates the pricing of the breakthrough drug.

There was a Jezuz shout out in there, but the interview is edited. In fact, the interview goes for an hour or more and it simply loses all entertainment value when you're listening to this shit for too long. But I think it's a good 9 minute piece. And before anyone asks, yes I was on a lot of coke. I've stopped with that shit because I just can't take the high fructose anymore.

Sage, you used to be terrible in interviews. very punk rock. when did you decide to stop fooling around with interviewers and taking interviews a little more seriously? did it have to do with the caliber of the interviewer, the publication, or what?
I forgot to whole phony age thing, too. what was the meaning behind that?

I was just excited and trying to carry interviews into some place interesting. I've since given up on that hustle. ha. I was also hanging out with people who were terminally sarcastic which is an annoying east coast crutch. I'm still annoying to a lot of people I'm sure, but I've definitely shed a lot of the nonsense. Life, responsibilities, and time limitations just got a lot more real.
As for the age thing, I didn't want to be lumped in with young up-and-comers. I felt like I had been doing my thing for much longer than them and I wanted it to seem like I was an old dude trying to regain his youth. Something like that anyway. There actually is a science to the whole thing, it wasn't completely arbitrary. There was reasoning involved. And now that I actually am 32 years old I'm in the process of bringing everything full circle. Trying to put the finishing touches on something that has brought me success, strife, troubles and triumphs.
No leisure time in 2009.

Justin Timberlake and Jay-Z are planning to tour together.
Somewhere, Kanye West sighs deeply.
The tour is happening, according to the New York Post, although no concert dates have been unveiled yet. The duo linked up on Timberlake's comeback single "Suit & Tie," which they performed at Sunday's Grammy Awards.
Timberlake and Jay-Z sat next to each other (accompanied by their wives, Jessica Biel and Beyoncé) at the Grammys and Jay even joined Timberlake at the latter's somewhat intimate post-Grammys show at the Hollywood Palladium. They've also filmed a music video for "Suit & Tie" and were snapped laughing with each other in the rain during the shoot.
Somewhere, Kanye West angrily throws his iPhone.
Of course, Jay-Z knows big tours, He and West completed their "Watch the Throne" tour in support of the 2011 album of the same name. Of course, in 2004, he also embarked on the "Best of Both World's Tour," with R. Kelly, which went bad during its Madison Square Garden stop when Kelly suffered some sort of paranoid breakdown and left the stage convinced he was going to be shot or otherwise harmed.

and can we get back to the real nutrition: hair pie.

Skating, smoking, drinking, car wrecks, other accidents, and an undeniably adult age have all contributed to me generally feeling like sh*t. Diet primarily, but also exercise, make a huge difference in everything from my energy levels to hangovers....
I don't take supplements... just lots of fresh fruits and veggies, and leafy greens (usually Kale or Spinach), usually in blended slurry form. Aside from a weekly binge on wings, I eat healthy regularly.
There's nothing wrong with abstaining from macho foods like red-meat. I'm comfortable with my food preference, and everyone would benefit from some fruit-slurry (though it might take you a while to get used to the taste).
Also, if you smoke, make sure to buy organic cigarettes.

As Hanna said, just throw whatever is available in and blend it up. Also, when some of your fruit is on the verge of over-ripening, freeze it, and throw it in later -- makes a nice frozen "slurpee-ish" drink. This is especially great for freckled bananas, as like most of you guys, I don't make banana bread. And do, as Hanna states, add fruits to sweeten - ripe bananas, pineapple, grapes & apples among others do well at that.

or as groucho marx said, you're only as young as the girl you feel
I am working OT to derail this thread and it keeps circling back to nutrition. you guys are on point
Wow, youse guys are some responsible, health-minded folks.
My, my, my how the times have changed. Jeff Spicoli didn't eat kale.
Well, cento de questi giorni or cento anni or cent'-anni......whatever the hells that phrase is.
Live fast and die young. Eat pizza, smoke, drink, eat Cookie Crisp, pop pills, sniff things......for who wants to be 90 - sitting around thinking of all the things you used to be able to do but can't do now.........
I started eating vegetables and exercising a year ago. I quit smoking(I still sneak some for masterabatory rituals) and I don't do any real drugs. I HAVE NEVER FELT WORSE. My eyes are F'ed up, I get chest pains, I'm tired, my ***** has shrunken by two centimeters, and life is so bland and dull.
Oh yeah the waves just aren't as good as they used to be. Yeah, that Doomsday swell was semi-normal back in the olden days. Yeah, for real, Skippy.
Something just hasn't been right in the ol' Atlantic lately. Probably has something to do with illegal immigration, and more recently Obamacare or maybe because Romneycare passed in 2006. OMG, MASSAHHCHOOSETTS is falling apart!!! It's destroying them.....poor people have helath care!! OH NO !!! Hey did you notice how I put AHHCHOO in MA? Like a sneeze.....talking aboot healthcare......Oh man, that was out of site. God, I am so clever. Thanks Jesus for making me so damn snarky
Do things that feel good and damn the consequences. And then stop at 40. If you live wildly after 40 it really starts getting you. That's when you'll start to fall apart. Never stop eating pizza, though. People who sell this nutritional crap are snickers. You're either healthy or you ain't. It's all up to Jesus not kale.
Oh MIS-13......what you got an erection or something............you wacked on stimulants........?
Aww man, Hawaiin Ice got MIS-13 too. We'll be seeing him on Dog the Bounty Hunter soon enough.....crying as they take him to jail. With a stimulant horniness erection. Leelan will all be smiling at his bulge. Hey, Hawaiians are supposed to be so tough, but they all cry in Dog's truck
over some petty municipal crimes. They all blubber over missing court for some DUI case and shoot. Sissies.
MIS-13, you a makey much sex innuendo for a distingushed older gentleman. "You so horny"(said in a Vietnamese prostitute cadence)
"You like sucky sucky"(also said as a Vietnamese prostitute)
Japanese girls are awesome, huh? I've always had a thang for them. Their food sucky sucky though. Only fruits eat raw fish and sh!t. They got quality waves, too. They got real set-ups. Hoikkado or whatever gets all 5-milly cold and shoot, too. Nice. Plus they all smoke and counterbalance it with green tea. They smokey like the chimney in February.

PJB, anytime I think all those dozens of Phish shows are starting to catch up to me, I can read one of your posts to put my dimensia in perspective.
thank you, really.
You should have your own infomercials, but what would you sell?
Your welcome MIS-13....what no crackerjacks?
Oh hey, I have to go corrupt the morals of uptown Hammonton, NJ, but I'll leave y'all with this: The cold and flu season is coming, right? Well, crack cures the common cold. Yeah, really, Skippy. And get a flu shot if you are geriatric or something. And no, you Jenny McCarthy Archy people, they're not poisioning you with vaccines and sh!t. Yeah, the government wants to S-L-O-W-L-Y kill you off. They can't you tards, they need all the people they can get for the Big War against the east. Please watch Jack Van Impe Ministries and you will find THE TRUTH aboot this world.
And people always talk aboot finding a "Hangover Cure".........dude any opiate will cure any hangover. Even Tylenol 3's will cure you more sensitive novice alkies. But for you responsible drinkers who like to get jiggy with it a few times a month and aren't predisposed to addiction, just keep a bottle of Percocet(5 mg) in your drawers. One or two on a Sunday morning and you'll feel just dandy. Repeat in the evening and it will be cool man.
Is it cool, man?
Yeah, Kelly, it's cool...
I mean, is it cool, man?
Yeah, Kelly, it's cool, man.
Well, ok then........

Watch News 12 Midday, News 12 First at Five, and News 12 at 6 o'clock for live updates from Laurie Ott in Atlanta.
She admits to stealing taxpayer money meant for Georgia children and spending it on her failing political campaign.
July 12, a federal judge sentenced Linda Schrenko.
Schrenko's sentence equals the time she served in charge of Georgia schools.
Linda Schrenko led Georgia schools as superintendent for eight years...and now, as part of her plea deal, it's exactly how long she'll spend behind bars for her crimes.
"I will be absolutely glad to put all of this behind me," Schrenko said on May 10, shortly before pleading guilty.
But there was one last public appearance for Linda Schrenko, the first woman elected to statewide office in Georgia: her sentencing.
In Atlanta July 12, federal judge Clarence Cooper sentenced her to 8 years in prison.
It's no surprise for Schrenko--that was the deal she and her attorney agreed to and signed off on May 10 before the very same judge.
In the agreement, Schrenko admitted to conspiracy and money laundering charges. The very next day she testified for prosecutors, admitting to her part in the scheme to funnel more than $600,000 in federal education money into her failing campaign for governor.
It was a long way to fall for Ms. Schrenko, who once headed up a $7 billion budget as head of Georgia's education department, and who was also on the short list for President Bush's Secretary of Education.
Now, she'll report to a federal minimum-security prison before summer's end.
Ms. Schrenko's former co-defendants will be sentenced in July and August.

Runs very well on my imac 24inch alu , not slow at all =)
Even on PC it a was very very slow loading.
On my iMac Intel,I wait at least TWO minutes to load it.
The lesson, if a program not universal binary, not developed in Mac native Cocoa, do not use it. They are all heavy like hell. No place for PE in MAC.
Aperture is much more superior.
Even iPhoto to some extent is also much more pleasant to use for some minor work
Photoshop Elements 6 comes with Bridge. Bridge opens directly from PE6 and is the organizer, tagger, etc. that you are looking for. From within Bridge you can add comments, titles, keywords, just about anything to your photos without opening them. You can also use Bridge without opening PE6 if you just want to organize your images.
Trial for version 6 is here.
Requires registration. File weighs 1.27GB
A terrible experience. Using an Intel iMac to run elements is just no fun. Elements is unfortunately not a universal binary, and the startup time is just too long.
It also looks quite autdated.
I guess that if you're used to photoshop, but need something a bit simpler, elements might be good.
But for just a bit of photo processing take something, anything, else. And if you need more photo processing take Apple Aperture.
Expensive, and not at all like photoshop elements in capabilities, but it just feels so good working with photo's that way...
Lots of power, and good value for money. Does lots of things that iPhoto can't do. But I don't like the interface.
I hate to say it, but the PC version of this is far superior to the Mac version. I bought this for my PC (back before I switched the the Mac) and instantly fell in love with the organizer and innovative hierarchical, drag-n-drop tagging system. Plus the timeline viewer and other tools were far superior even to Picasa (which had just recently been released at the time).
Now, if you've used the Mac version, you probably have no idea what I'm talking about. And that is because the Mac version is simply the PC version MINUS the organizer and tagging system. Sure, the photo editing tools and project tools (cards, calendars, etc) are still there, but the tagging system was nowhere to be found. I was so insanely frustrated that I had to purchase the same piece of software again when I switched to a Mac, and the second time I got only half the product for about the same price. I was even more upset that the hours I had spent tagging my photos was wasted time since iPhoto couldn't properly import them.
Since the Mac version is integrated with iPhoto, I tried re-tagging my entire photo library with it, but iPhoto's tagging system is far too simplistic (and kind of pathetic) compared to the tagging system on the PC version of Elements. After this incident, I doubt I will ever pay for an Adobe product again.

In Their Own Words – Finding the Right Words
This "In Their Own Words" essay was written by Rose Wade. Rose has two children, including a son with autism. She is a military wife and the founder of The Robin Hood Lego Campaign Advocating Autism Awareness and Lego Therapy.
Our home is often held together by words both written and spoken. When my son first said "mama," it brought tears of happiness to my eyes. There are words of encouragement and correction I'll give to my children until I'm old and grey. Or older and greyer than I am now.
We're a military family. My husband has been apart from us many times. From brief two-week temporary duty assignments, six-month deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, and now a year-long remote tour in Korea.
The time allotted to him for moral calls to us is free, but brief. Our family has fifteen minutes to cling to each others' voices. Every word spoken is precious. We save letters for birthday, anniversaries, and holiday cards. There are several, ribbon-tied envelopes from years of correspondence tucked away in the closet.
My 12-year-old son, Matthew, was diagnosed with high-functioning autism. Though I still haven't been able to encourage him to write a letter to his father, I love every minute of listening to him chatting on the webcam during the few instances when my husband can be away from duty.
Matthew will talk endlessly on several subjects and they'll all string together. One word or phrase will remind him of something else he saw or learned, and the talking will continue.
His talking is also filled with questions. I never know where I'll be, or what I'll be doing when I'll be asked a question about the formation of the sun, and two seconds later be asked why the mail doesn't run on Sundays.
I do what I can to keep up with the questions. I've had to search my own 'files' for the appropriate answers. I've often had to reply "I'm not sure." It's a good thing I'm not a contestant on 'Jeopardy'. I'd owe money to Alex Trebek.
My 10-year-old daughter, Kayli, asked Matthew why he's always so talkative in the car. I didn't notice it myself until she pointed it out. While I'm driving and answering Matthew's questions, I must look like I'm talking to myself or singing with the radio. So far, I haven't been pulled over by the security forces on base because they thought I've been on a cell phone.
Matthew speaks often. Sometimes it wears on my patience, but I do my best to give him answers even if I have to often gently remind him that he had asked me the same questions yesterday. He's talkative, but I wonder how many of my responses are getting through to him. I've spoken to him about several subjects, several times. But I know I'll be asked again next week.
Thanks to the inspiration of a talented man, I found a passion for creative writing. It has given me a new creative outlet that helps me cope with my brave husband's long absences that leave me to deal with daily fears about his safety, my darling son with autism, my social butterfly daughter, and household appliances that only cause trouble while my husband is away.
Inspiration was given to me again, by the same talented man, and led me to start The Robin Hood Lego Campaign Advocating For Autism Awareness & Lego Therapy. My writing has found another, important outlet. My hope for the campaign is to educate others about autism by expressing my experiences with a child on the spectrum.
My son has high-functioning autism. He comes with his own challenges and triumphs. There are children across the varied autism spectrum, each with has loved ones who search for ways to cope with the effects of autism on the child, and on the family.
Sometimes words are too repetitive, too harsh, not clear enough, filled with impatience. Sometimes the right words are simply missing.
I worried over my first blog post about autism entitled "How Would You Know If a Fish Had Autism?" Would people want to read it? Would they understand my point-of-view?
The blog post received comments from mothers of children with autism, paraeducators, and adults with autism. Their heartfelt words touched my own heart and reminded me not to give up my campaign to raise awareness of autism and its effects on families.
I listen to the words and questions spoken by my son and I learn more every day about him, and about autism. Just like my son's words to me, the words I share with others about autism may not always be the right ones, or understood, or relatable to everyone, but they will always come from the heart.
"In Their Own Words" is a series within the Autism Speaks blog which shares the voices of people who have autism, as well as their loved ones. If you have a story you wish to share about your personal experience with autism, please send it to firstname.lastname@example.com. Autism Speaks reserves the right to edit contributions for space, style and content. Because of the volume of submissions, not all can be published on the site.

My son is 24 and didn't speak until he was 4, he wasn't told Autism until he was 15. When he started talking, I was so happy, when the questions started I thought I would lose my mind, and I guess I have because I don't remember all of the questions. But I do remember walking though CostCo when he asked "Where are my sperm" of course it was a weekend so people were everywhere and lots where looking, my answer was when we get home we will talk about that. He loved to ask questions in the car, I thought it was he didn't like my music.Must be those senseory issues. He is a wonderful person, I wish there was a cure for the social part of Autism, because he should have lots of friends. I will share this site for him to share his thoughts.
June 26, 2010 at 1:16 pm
My son is just 3 and I struggle daily with trying to say the right things to him to decrease anxiety. Most days I fail. I guess we just have to keep doing the best we can and pray. We just have to love them.
June 26, 2010 at 8:50 pm
This hits so close to home for me in so many ways! My son Nick is five and was diagnosed a year and a half ago with Autism. I was just asked yesterday in the car "Momma, Momma, Momma…why do we live on the earth?" I am still adjusting to the questions all day everyday! I love that his mind is always processing however there are moments where I don't think I can answer one more, and days when I wish I had a penny for everytime I heard "Momma, Momma, Momma…. !!! (I swear it could be close to 100 times an hour!) But then I think of so many other Moms who have not heard those amazing words yet and I try to once again to count my many many blessings and answer all of the questions the best I can with patience and love. It is the best we can do.
June 26, 2010 at 11:58 pm
My daughter Rachel is 6 she was diagnosed with pdd-nos at 2 1\2 and she pretty much only babbled and made noises until she was about 4yrs.old. Now every place we go and everything she sees on tv she asks "What is it" and I must say I love it! I find it very encouraging that she is so curious. I am very proud of how far she has come and how motivated she is to learn.
June 27, 2010 at 8:34 am
thank you. My 7 y.o. is also high functioning. So I know of what you speak. I too live with non stop talking and question after question after question.
June 28, 2010 at 3:10 am
I can't help but cry seeing this. I have a 3 1/2 son and still hasn't say any word yet. And I would be the happiest creature on earth just to hear him say "mama", but I'm happy for you guys that you have wonderful angels. I really love my son but I can't stop worrying for him.

BELPRE - In a final project to better serve the residents and businesses in the growing west end of Belpre, construction will soon begin to widen Farson Street.
Mayor Mike Lorentz said Shelly and Sands Construction, which has been hired by the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) to do the work, is expected to put construction signs along the roadway this week with construction set to begin in about two weeks.
"This is the final project of the work that started about four years ago to better serve that end of town," Lorentz said. "It is great to see it almost completed."
Beginning in the next two weeks, Farson Street will be partially closed as turning lanes are built for easier access to businesses in the area, including Marietta Memorial Hospital's Health Bridge Medical Park.
In a two-phase process, the first phase will close the southbound lane headed toward the hospital while traffic coming from Washington Boulevard will be able to go through to U.S. 50.
The second phase will close the northbound lane in the same fashion, with traffic headed from U.S. 50 to Washington Boulevard able to go through.
The entire project will take about 1,100 feet of Farson Street and widen it to create turn lanes to allow better traffic flow and access to businesses in that area, which include the ever-expanding MMH campus.
Farson Street will be widened from the intersection with U.S. 50 and will taper back to two lanes near Rockland Avenue, Lorentz said.
"It will be a bit of a shock for those who travel through that area on a regular basis as the construction will bung traffic up," he said. "But it will be worth it when work is completed."
Lorentz said the project is the final road construction expected for this area of the city.
"Last year we were able to get the left turn lanes on U.S. 50 lengthened at Farson Street and Braun Road with new traffic lights and this year we have the work on Farson Street," he said. "This is the last of the road work we expect to accommodate that end of town, that I know of."
The city has moved utilities and plans to do more to the water and sewer lines to better serve the residents and businesses there.
"We need to add some pumps to keep water pressure up and things like that," Lorentz said. "We are working on making sure the west end of town is able to comfortably and easily accommodate the growth expected."
The construction on this project is funded through federal grants, the Ohio Public Works and about $110,000 from the city.
The completion date for the project, weather permitting, is Oct. 1.

November 16, 2006
Nearly three weeks after being thrown from a ride at Augusta's fair, 13-year-old Desire Northington is back home tonight.
In a story you'll see only on 12, the teenager talks about the accident that nearly took her life.
Seeing Desire now, you would never know just a week ago she was in serious condition.
Since the accident, we've heard from her family, investigators, and friends.
But now Desire is talking...and she's only talking to us.
It's nearly impossible to look past the smile on Desire Northington's face.
Three weeks after taking the ride of her life, she's back at home.
"I'm looking forward to going back to school, being with my friends--and looking forward to telling everybody thank you for their prayers, because they worked," Desire said.
It is still unclear how the 13-year-old slipped from under the lap bar of the Orbiter ride and was thrown 60 feet.
The hard fall severely bruised her brain and left her clinging to life.
Talking for the first time about the accident, Desire told us what she remembers.
"Asking my grandma can I go to the fair, that's all I remember. I don't remember nothing else."
Desire says that physically, she feels good, but her grandmother, Beverly Biddings, tells us her road to recovery is not over. She'll work with a therapist until her memory improves.
"She'll say something and repeat it again, and she'll catch herself and say, 'I just said that, Grandma.'"
But something Desire says she will never forget are the prayers, which she credits for her comeback.
"Nothing's hurting," she said. "I feel great, back to normal."
A ride, a fall, and a recovery this teen and her family call a miracle.
"I'm so grateful to God for giving me my grandbaby," Biddings said. "I'm so grateful to everybody that prayed for her. I love you. I thank you with all my heart."
Desire will be homeschooled for awhile. She says the thing she will miss most is cheerleading.
But this girl really has a great sense of humor, and it's just good to see her back home.
Desire's family isn't talking about the accident with her. The investigation into the ride is still ongoing, and right now Desire doesn't remember what happened.
But they say at some point she may remember, and they don't want her memory to be clouded.

WILLIAMSTOWN - Ritchie County's style doesn't allow anyone to settle into a comfort zone.
Take Tuesday night's game at Williamstown High School for example.
With his ballclub trailing 21-17 at halftime, Chandler Weber knocked down consecutive 3-pointers to put the Yellowjackets in front 23-21.

Photo by Kerry Patrick
Ritchie County's D. J. Burgess (15) applies the defense on Williamstown's Hunter Neely during the Rebels' 58-43 win Tuesday night at Williamstown High School.
The Rebels didn't panic and outscored Williamstown 29-4 in a nine-minute span to essentially put the game on ice.
The margin increased to as many as 26 points midway in the fourth quarter and Ritchie County closed out its seventh straight win with a 58-43 victory.
"Ritchie County can make you pay for mistakes really fast," Williamstown coach Scott Sauro said after his team suffered their third straight loss and slipped to 6-14. "We missed a couple of easy shots, so instead of us being in front by two points it turns into a five-point swing."
Ritchie County was deadly from beyond the 3-point line after making five treys during a 22-point, third-quarter and finished the game 9-of-17 (53 percent). D.J. Burgess accounted for four long-range bombs and finished with 15 points, while Andrew Davis produced a double-double with 23 points and 12 rebounds.
Teammate Johnny Hogue also scored in double figures with 11 points to go with three assists and two steals.
Having gone nearly a week without a practice, the 14-5 Rebels can now savor a few days off before resuming its schedule Saturday in the Little Kanawha Conference's Night of Champions consolation game - the first time the Ritchie County boys basketball program can boast that honor since 2001.
"I think this is huge for the program," Ritchie County coach Rick Haught said. "We get to play on a night where the whole conference is there and watching us. It's good for our kids to get the recognition."
Against Williamstown, Ritchie County catered to the Yellowjackets' deliberate style. The Rebels fell behind 6-2 before concluding the first quarter with a 9-2 run behind six points from Davis.
The second quarter became deadlocked on two occasions with the last tie occurring at 13-13 with just under six minutes remaining before intermission.
Ritchie County created a bit of breathing room and led 21-17 at the halftime. Williamstown's Jarric Hoskins kept his squad within striking distance by scoring all seven of his points before the start of the third quarter.
Held without a 3-pointer for the first half, Williamstown finally ended the drought when Weber sank a pair of 3-pointers as part of his team-high 10 points to open the second half and put the Yellowjackets in front for the final time at 23-21.
The Yellowjackets managed just two field goals during the course of the next nine minutes and by the time they gathered themselves, Ritchie County enjoyed a 50-27 cushion.
"The bottom line - we hit shots," Haught said. "We have played in a lot of close games, and for the most part have found a way to win."
Ritchie County's high-water mark came with 4 1/2 minutes left in the fourth quarter when Burgess' 3-pointer increased the advantage to 26 at 56-30.
"Ritchie County shot it well," Sauro said. "You can tell their kids put in a lot of time shooting the ball during the offseason, and it's important to them."

Depression Health Center
Debate Over Antidepressants in Pregnancy Ongoing
Oct. 31, 2012 -- The debate over the safety of antidepressants during pregnancy has been going on for a long time, and a new review may keep the debate alive a while longer.
The research review finds little evidence that the most widely prescribed class of antidepressants benefits pregnant women and growing evidence that they cause harm.
But one expert calls the findings "nonsense."
Investigators of the review concluded that selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressants should be prescribed "with great caution" during pregnancy.
They point to studies that have linked SSRI in pregnancy to preterm birth, miscarriage, and autism and developmental delays.
"We have never before in human history chemically altered fetal development in the way that we have done with these drugs," says researcher and ob-gyn Adam Urato, MD, of Boston's Tufts Medical Center and the Metro West Medical Center. "This is a massive experiment and we don't know what the outcome will be."
Review Is 'Nonsense,' Doctor Says
But psychiatrist Kimberly Yonkers, MD, calls the reviewers' conclusion that women who are pregnant and depressed do not benefit from SSRIs "nonsense."
Yonkers is a professor of psychiatry and obstetrics and gynecology at Yale University, and she served on a 2009 joint panel of psychiatrists and obstetricians that established guidelines for the treatment of depression during pregnancy.
"For many women with severe major depression, treatment with an antidepressant is not optional, just like treatment with insulin is not optional for a woman with (type 1) diabetes," she says. "To give these women the message that treatment is optional and that it doesn't work anyway does us all a disservice."

Discussions expected on whether to consolidate UNC campuses
Published: Friday, March 22, 2013 at 7:58 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, March 22, 2013 at 7:58 p.m.
RALEIGH (AP) — A top Republican budget writer in the state Senate says colleagues likely will consider whether it makes sense to reduce the number of University of North Carolina system campuses.
Sen. Pete Brunstetter of Forsyth County told WRAL-TV (http://bit.ly/11lSKxH ) potential consolidation will be part of the hard look the Senate takes at the UNC system this year. The system has 16 traditional campuses and UNC School of the Arts in Winston-Salem.
Brunstetter says senators can envision campus consolidation and suggested that could mean 14 or 15 campuses.
UNC system leaders, the House and Gov. Pat McCrory certainly would weigh on such a proposal.
McCrory's budget proposal released this week would spend $143 million less in state funds next year for the UNC system compared to this year.

Approximately three million men, women and children in the United States suffer from lymphedema, a condition caused when the lymphatic system fails to function properly. Untreated, it can lead to severe pain or discomfort, poor wound healing, permanent skin changes, functional disability and cellulites – a skin infection which may require hospitalization.
Summa's Lymphedema Program, which was established in 1997, is composed of a team of trained occupational and physical therapists specialized in providing comprehensive decongestive therapy (CDT), the latest in lymphedema treatment.
We have three locations for the treatment of lymphedema. The first is at the Jean and Milton Cooper Cancer Center, in which the clinicians specialize in the treatment of cancer related lymphedema. Contact them at (330) 375-7282. In addition, we have our location at St. Thomas Hospital, which specializes in the treatment of non-cancer related lymphedema. They can be reached at (330) 379-5200. The third is Summa Health Center at Anna Dean also treats lymphedema that often occurs after surgical intervention, trauma, radiation, infection, cancer or scarring. Content the center at (330) 615-5000.
What is Lymphedema? Lymphedema is the accumulation of lymphatic fluid in a body compartment such as the arm, leg or trunk. It is caused by a person's lymphatic system failing to work correctly and can lead to swelling in the affected area of the body. When working properly, the lymphatic system (as part of the immune system) removes debris, bacteria and excess protein from tissues in the body and produces lymphocytes to help the body fight harmful bacteria and infection. In lymphedema patients, this cleansing mechanism does not function.
Primary lymphedema develops for no determined reason. A child may be born with the condition, or it may develop later in life. This form of lymphedema is more common in women and generally affects the legs. Secondary lymphedema develops as a result of damage to the lymphatic system. This may be caused by trauma, surgery, radiation, cancer, infection or scarring.
What are the Symptoms? Although Lymphedema generally affects the extremities, it can develop in any part of the body.
Warning signs of Lymphedema include:
Comprehensive Decongestive Therapy Lymphedema Therapy
Comprehensive or complex decongestive therapy (CDT) originated in Europe in the 1940s. CDT is a painless procedure comprised of:
Compression bandaging, a unique method that incorporates special bandages, distinctive wrapping and applied pressure Manual lymphatic drainage, a specialized type of massage designed to stimulate contraction of inactive lymphatic channels An exercise regime coupled with patient education, which often includes family members being instructed in daily management techniques.
How Long does Therapy Last? The duration depends on the severity of symptoms. Generally, treatments average one to three weeks in duration, although more severe cases may require a commitment of six months to one year. Initially, therapy is administered in 90-minute increments, Monday through Friday. As the condition is brought under control, the frequency of therapy may taper off. When possible, instruction is also provided to family members on CDT techniques to help the patient manage lymphedema on a day-to-day basis.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Ohio's attorney general says a grand jury investigating possible additional charges in the rape of a 16-year-old girl last summer won't hear from witnesses for about two weeks after it is convened Monday.
Attorney General Mike DeWine says the delay relates to his office's continuing evaluation of evidence.
DeWine says the decision was made to get the seating of the grand jury out of the way first.
A judge last month convicted two Steubenville high school football players of raping the girl after an alcohol-fueled party in August.
DeWine said Thursday the grand jury will explore whether other laws were violated and could result in more charges or none at all.
(Copyright 2013 The Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.)
A petition has emerged on change.org calling for Steubenville City School Administrators, specifically Superintendent Mike NcVey, to fire Big Red head coach Reno Saccocia.
The petition was started March 20th and already has around 40,000 signatures.
It only needs about 10,000 more to reach its goal of 50,000.
The school superintendent says no action will be taken by the district until the grand jury has completed its investigation.
The key to the petition, according to the page, is text messages that were brought forward in court that alleged the coach would take care of things if it went to court.
Residents said others have a right to start the petition, but many agree with the school's stance to wait for a decision until after April's grand jury.
Two Ohio high school football players were found guilty of raping a drunken 16-year-old girl at an alcohol-fueled party last August.
Steubenville High School students, 17-year-old Trent Mays and 16-year-old Ma'Lik Richmond have been sentenced to at least one year in juvenile jail.
The case divided the small town and stirred reactions from activists online.
The judge said both students can be held in the juvenile facility until they're 21. Mays was sentenced to an additional year in jail on a charge of illegal use of minor in nudity-oriented material. It will be served to him after the rape sentence is completed.
Both Mays and Richmond are ordered to have no contact with the victim until they're 21.

Consumers See Blue Sky Amid Economic Clouds
Dow Ends Higher for First Time This Week
Political intransigence could drag the U.S. back into recession, the euro-zone debt crisis drones on, and gasoline prices have topped $5 a gallon in California.
Yet consumers are partying like it's 2007.
The Thomson-Reuters University of Michigan sentiment index unexpectedly jumped in early October to 83.1. The index blew past its final-September 78.3 reading to the highest level since September 2007, just as the last expansion was ending.
What gives?
Keep in mind the sentiment index often stayed above 100 during the last recovery, so consumers aren't feeling euphoric. But the October bounce suggest households see patches of blue sky where economists see dark clouds.
"It is probable that the recent dip below 8% on the unemployment rate, the performance of the equity market, and the uptick in the housing market are buoying confidence," economists at Jefferies wrote after seeing the data.
Perceptions of the labor markets matter greatly, and the survey showed 29% of respondents now expect lower unemployment in the next year, up from 27% saying that a month ago.
Consumers also seem to expect Washington will come to an agreement on spending and taxes and thus avoid pushing the U.S. back into recession.
The expectations index jumped to the highest reading since July 2007, "implying that most consumers think the fiscal cliff will be bridged without middle class tax increases," the report said, according to an economist who saw the release.
That confidence may be misplaced, however, since any budget agreement will probably bring an end to the reduction in social-security withholding–meaning an big cut in take-home pay in early 2013.
Moreover, the brighter spirits may not foreshadow a better time for retailers hoping for a cheery holiday selling season.
Joshua Shapiro, chief U.S. economist at MFR Inc., cautioned, "This index does not have a particularly good short-run correlation with consumer spending, and at the moment it is probably more a barometer of the stock market (currently a beneficiary of high dosages of Fed-administered steroids) than anything else."
Indeed, consumers need to see their hopes for more jobs translated into reality. Unless that happens, the jump in sentiment could fall back and consumers will have neither the confidence nor the paychecks needed to boost spending.

is it possible to somehow refresh a movie directory ?
real case scenario: there's a movie x.avi which is streamed as is. i open it from the PS, everything is nice, but i forgot to put the subtitles. i stop the movie, put the subtitles x.srt in the same directory and now i need to watch the transcoded movie. i find it impossible so far - there's no refresh function on the PS, and PMS doesn't seem to notice i added a subtitle, even if i instruct the PS to search for media servers again.
the only way i found is to rename the movie and the subtitles to y.avi and y.srt, and it appears in the list after some time.
is there a more elegant way to do it ?

Everyone understands that healthcare reform is a moving target. But even by the standards of everything that has occurred over the last three years, the actions of the administration in the last few weeks are startling.

I thank god I found this official forum. Now I can finally get help.
Now, ever since I formatted my computer, the media server has been giving a lot of trouble. Before the format, all videos I threw at it, it would devour and then regurgitate it in glorifull amazingness. However now, I seem to be having issues playing a lot of videos. Problems now are that, videos (mostly HD ones) stutter, and I would need to let it buffer, where as before it would play on the fly. I know this because its the exact same video I had before where it used to stream flawlessly. The next problem is that some wont even play at all, whereas it used to play perfectly before, again, different video, but the exact same one i had before (I backed some stuff up so I saved a couple vids). I've tried to tinker with the settings but to no avail. Specs are:
K-lite codec mega pack 4.5.3
AMD Athlon X2 3800+ Dual Core Processor
Nvidia Geforce 8800GT graphics card
2GB of RAM
Windows XP SP3
Any other specs I would be happy to provide.
