The Red Cross has established an evacuation shelter at Palmer Ridge High School, 19255 Monument Hill Road, for anyone who has been displaced by the Black Forest Fire.
Evacuation shelters at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs (UCCS) and the Elbert County Fairgrounds closed Saturday night.
Black Forest mail is being held at the Briargate post office at 8585 Criterion Drive. 719-265-4409
The Royal Gorge Fire
The Royal Gorge Fire is 100% contained as of 6:00 p.m. Sunday.
*** Highway 50 is open and all evacuations have been lifted as of 8:00 p.m. Thursday, June 13. ***
The Fremont County Sheriff's Office asks that you bring your ID with you when you are reentering your neighborhood. No homes were lost.
The Royal Gorge fire was reported around 1 p.m. Tuesday.
The fire is burning near the Royal Gorge Bridge and Park, west of Cañon City.
The Royal Gorge Fire is estimated at 3,218 acres. It is 100% contained.
At least 48 structures have burned in this fire at the Royal Gorge Park. The bridge was slightly damaged.
150 seasonal park employees lost their jobs. The park's 41 full time employees will keep their jobs. They will find out where they report to in a few days and help with the rebuilding process. The seasonal employees who don't fall under regular unemployment assistance could get Disaster Unemployment Assistance.
Cañon City residents are no longer being asked to conserve water.
Hundreds of prisoners who were evacuated from the Colorado Territorial Correctional Facility in Cañon City at the height of the fire began returning to their cells on the evening of Tuesday, June 18.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
Ways to help
Please donate food and cash to Care and Share.
Please donate money to the Red Cross.
You can also text DONATE to 41010 to make a $10 donation that will be charged to your phone bill.
The money will go to help victims of the Black Forest Fire, Royal Gorge Fire, and the Klikus Fire.
Other fires

You're standing at a cocktail party, nursing your watered-down well drink, when some tech hipster drops the latest Silicon Valley buzz phrase. You nod, as if you actually understand what he or she is talking about, while your heart starts to beat a bit faster hoping no one asks you for your opinion on the subject. Quietly, you slip away in shame.
Hey, don't feel bad. We've all been there. Things change fast 'round these parts. So today, I'm here to help you avoid potential embarrassment by cluing you into the latest Silicon Valley obsession — "real time." Or, "The Real-Time Web."
Real time is the "cloud computing" of 2009. Everyone's talking about it, debating it, claiming their product does it or enables it, and predicting someone else is doomed because they don't have it.
For instance, you might have heard someone say, "Google is doomed because it doesn't have real-time search." (Cue nodding of head.)
Like the long string of previous buzz phrases, real-time is in part a genuine technology development, part cynical copycat marketing, and part mindless over-hyping of a genuine technology development. When everyone is talking about it, some companies know that if they stick "real-time" in front of a tired old product or in their elevator pitch to a VC, they're bound to get some attention.
But what is it exactly? As with all emerging trends, the definition is the subject of some debate. In general, it's a service on the Web that allows you to interact immediately with information or other people. Twitter is the most prominent example of the real-time Web, and is largely responsible for igniting this wave.
Still, others in the valley sneer at Twitter, calling it "near-real-time" because there's still the tiniest delay between the time when someone posts a status update and when it appears on your screen. Over the summer, I met Joe Ward, CEO of Groovy, which is developing back-end technology to deploy what he called the "truly real-time, live data experience." Just in case Twitter isn't fast enough for you.
What's fast enough?
However you parse these differences, it comes down to this: Lots of folks apparently don't think the current Web (The Fake-Time Web?) is fast enough. So they're looking to amp it up another notch. And depending on who you are, that notion either has you pumping your fist with delight or despairing that it's about to get even harder to keep up with the tsunami of data and messages that are already overwhelming you.
Either way, better get used to the idea that the Web industry is hitting the gas pedal on our accelerated online lives. Back in June, famed venture capitalist Ron Conway, aka the "godfather of Silicon Valley," sent an e-mail to colleagues announcing he was going to invest in 40 to 50 companies over the next 18 months with a focus on "real-time" services.
Last month, Facebook acquired FriendFeed, a social media aggregator started by Google alums that displays all your online activity in real-time. Though FriendFeed had a passionate geek following and a small staff, the relatively pokey Facebook wants the technology to speed up its own push to become real-time.
And as I mentioned above, Google has been criticized for being uncharacteristically slow to the real-time party. But this summer, the search company unveiled the "PubSubHubbub protocol" that allows developers to create services to provide faster updates and notifications. If you want to feel like an insider, drop "PubSubHubbub" in conversation and see how many blank looks you get.
The companies launching this week at TechCrunch50, a two-day startup competition and conference, also hit the real-time theme with all the subtlety of a sledgehammer:
The hype cycle
ClientShow allows Real-Time collaboration during creative pitches. Metricly.com provides Real-Time Web metrics. CitySourced has an iPhone app that serves as a Real-Time, mobile civic engagement tool. YourVersion updates social media searches with relevant content in Real-Time. And to help them all make money, there was DataXu offering advertising for the Real-Time Web.
So, all signs point to the real-time hype cycle still on its way up. Hopefully, you're now a little bit more caught up.
And if you're still feeling behind after reading this, my only advice is to jump ahead of the crowd and try to start the inevitable backlash against real-time that's sure to come.

I recently installed cache plugins on all my 4 wp websites. Hyper Cache mainly and Quick Cache on the site that is a multisite install. They work perfectly except for one site (non multisite)--> http://www.ajwan.net/wordpress/
For info, this site is mainly made in html. Only some pages (containning "wordpress" in the url) are WP. Of course I'm expecting the cache plugin to work on the wp pages only.
The reason why I know the cache doesn't work on the WordPress pages of this site is that first, page loading is still slow and secondly, I checked page sources from the frontend when disconnected and the line at the bottom referring to cache is absent. The problem is the same whether I use Hyper Cache or Quick Cache.
For info, on this site, I started using W3 Total Cache but it was not working either and I founded the settings too complicated for my knowledge.
Each time I replaced a cache plugin by another, I first uninstalled the previous one.
I'd be grateful if someone could help me.
If you need more info, let me know, or if this requires a paid job, I'm open.
Thanks in advance,
[ Please do not bump, it's not permitted here. ]

Daunting at the start, but a damned fine interface to get work one with after some time learning. It's the GIMP's 3d brother - free yet in the realm of apps costing hundreds of dollars.
Perhaps one day there will be a port to a native Mac interface at least partially interpretable to humans. But until then I'm using Lightwave as my primary 3D modeling, animation, and rendering app.
Blender's too darn complicated!
And a fine craft it is to try and fly ... even if you crash!
Using blender is like attempting to fly an alien spacecraft. Almost completely unintelligable to normal human beings, but harnessing more power than you can ever imagine. :)

FLOSS Friday: Portable Apps
As mentioned in my previous entry, I wanted to share with you all the joys of portable apps. As you're no doubt aware, downloading or buying new software involves some level of installation, whether it's running an EXE in Microsoft Windows, mounting a DMG in MacOS X, or using apt-get, Yum, or the like in Linux. Files and tidbits can be scattered about the file system, sometimes leaving crumbs behind even when doing a complete uninstall. Even worse than the install/uninstall hassle, sometimes you're using somebody else's computer, or perhaps a computer in a business center where you cannot install your own software and it's not running your personal favorite tools. Enter portable apps.
The basic definition of a portable app is one that can be run from a machine's hard drive, a portable hard drive, or USB stick without requiring any installation at the operating system level. Especially if you use a USB stick, you can have an entire computing environment of all your favorite tools ready to run.
The best place, if you're a Windows user, to find out about portable apps is PortableApps.com. There is a huge and ever-growing collection of applications just waiting to be tried out. The process for their tools is that you get the EXE, run the EXE, specify where you want the resulting files to be saved, and then you're all set. There are no registry changes, there are no services that get installed, and there's no annoying "let's call back to the mothership and let you know about an upgrade" programs installed. If you don't want to use the app, just delete the folder that's created. Gone and gone. Even better is to get the PortableApps.com Suite, which is an application manager/launcher program specifically for PortableApps.com apps. The menu lets you install other apps from within it, as well as give you direct access to documents that you might have stored on your portable device. Note that although you can run from a USB stick, you don't have to.
OK, OK, I hear all the Mac people saying, "But what about us?". Well, have no fear. The Mac community has developed their own Mac OS X versions of portable apps. Check out the FreeSMUG Portable Applications page or the Windows and Mac list of portable apps from MakeUseOf.com.
For the Linux folks out there, the offerings are as rich, but of a slightly different variety. Generally, portable Linux applications are entire Linux distributions that you can boot from CD or USB stick. I did find one article called Linux for Travelers where someone shows how to run a small Linux distribution from within Windows or Mac OS X. Since live CDs / live USBs are their own topic, I'll be saving details on them for another posting.

SPCA of Texas seizes 221 animals from Kaufman property
A rescue group seized 221 animals from a Kaufman property on Thursday, the organization announced in a news release.
The SPCA of Texas — which is based in Dallas and often teams with law enforcement agencies across North Texas — took custody of 166 rabbits, 36 guinea pigs, 12 goats, five cats, a dog and a bull. The group said the rabbits were mostly cooped up in wire cages, and that most of the animals were found in filthy conditions.
Many of the animals are suffering health issues, "including open sores, matted fur, hair loss, ear discharge, eye discharge and long nails," the SPCA of Texas said in the news release.
Some of the animals were taken to the SPCA of Texas facility in West Dallas. Others went to the group's more spacious McKinney property.
The owner will have a chance to contest the seizure in court at an Aug. 2 custody hearing. If the SPCA of Texas gets awarded custody, some of the animals will be made available for adoption.
Around this time last year, the SPCA of Texas seized 249 animals from a rural Hunt County property.

IMFAR: Innovative Technology for Autism Tech Demo
The Autism Speaks' Innovative Technology for Autism (ITA) Initiative has awarded more than $400,000 in new research grants to develop innovative assistive, educational, therapeutic, and diagnostic technologies for persons with autism.
2011 saw a new approach for Autism Speaks' Innovative Technology for Autism(ITA) Initiative with the running of a student design competition called Autism Connects. The design brief was pretty straight forward: to create technology design ideas for individuals with autism to better connect with the world around them, and to allow individuals who do not have autism to better understand and connect with those who do.
In this video, Alex Plank and the Wrong Planet crew interview the winners of the IMFAR tech demo competition.
Vodpod videos no longer available.
Innovative Technology for Autism
Young and old, technology is never far from us. It enables our communication and helps us grow and maintain social relationships. For years Autism Speaks has promoted the research of technologies to support children and adults with ASD, whether that is through the awarding of grants or by supporting research-networking events.
2011 saw a new approach for Autism Speaks' Innovative Technology for Autism (ITA) initiative with the running of a student design competition called Autism Connects. The design brief was pretty straight forward: to create technology design ideas for individuals with autism to better connect with the world around them, and to allow individuals who do not have autism to better understand and connect with those who do.
Autism Connects was a partnership between Autism Speaks, Core 77 and jovoto. In total there were 126 design ideas submitted from over 30 countries. The popularity of the competition really shows the passion and interest there is for autism around the world and how we can engage young professionals to use their burgeoning skills to make a difference in the lives of people with ASD and their families.
The submitted ideas were judged by a panel of international experts on ASD, including Temple Grandin and John Robison. The jury rated the best design and first prize to Gobug, by Greg Katz and Tom Rim from the University of Illinois College of Fine and Applied Arts Industrial Design.
"Gobug is designed to move around on a ground surface at the control of the users. Up to two or three children can play with the toy simultaneously. Each user takes ownership of one controller. These controllers work in conjunction; each user points his/her remote in a direction, and the Gobug moves in the combined direction of the active controllers" said Greg Katz and Tom Rim.
When asked how the team came upon this original idea, Greg Katz said, "We took this on from a user-centered design perspective. The focus was 100% on the person we were designing for. We designed through an iterative process, constantly sketching ideas and fine tuning them in to workable concepts. The outcome was Gobug."
In second place was WEsync, which was designed by Noel Cunningham from Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) in Baltimore, Md.
"weSYNC is an application for the iPad, iPhone, and Web, that creates a specialized profile for the autistic individual by gathering knowledge from each caregiver and establishing a centralized location where it can be accessed and edited by everyone. Establishing a dialogue among doctors, therapists, teachers and parents allows them to share information and reinforce oneanother's efforts."
In third place was another idea from Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) in Baltimore designed by Cameron Zotter whose idea is called Visual Watch. The watch is both a time management and picture exchange communication system (PECS) tool designed specifically for people with ASD.
The three prize winners were invited to this week's International Meeting for Autism Research to present their designs in person at the technology demonstration on Friday. Autism Speaks' Chief Science Officer Geraldine Dawson, Ph.D., will be announcing the winners and celebrating their innovations on Friday at the event.
The breadth and wealth of these students' ideas reflects the technology and autism field in general. All of the designs that were submitted had considered and detailed ways of using technology to aid the lives of people with ASD or those who love and support them. The potential of these ideas to make a difference for families is vast. Our next challenge is how we get these concepts and ideas out into the real world and we'd be interested to hear your ideas on how to achieve that.
Through this competition Autism Speaks has encouraged a new community of young people to think about ASD. Our hope is that Greg, Tim, Noel, and Cameron will take this experience into their working lives and have autism close to their thoughts when they are planning their future projects.
Lastly, none of this could have been possible without our fantastic ITA committee members, who are chaired by Drs. Katherina Boser and Matthew Goodwin. Also, enormous thanks to our judges and the community experts who guided the students' design ideas to help make them as good as they turned out to be.

Innovative Technologies Help Identify Patterns and Reveal Solutions in Autism
A recent study reports that a quick brain scan could be used to screen for autism. The study, from senior author Declan Murphy, Ph.D., of Kings' College London, has garnered considerable attention from the media for its potential to change the way we identify autism spectrum disorders (ASD). There is, however, another interesting aspect to this story. The investigators borrowed methods from a field of computer science and engineering called machine learning. These tools are most effective in finding patterns in sets of data that are large and heterogeneous for use in classification. Using a set of five measurements that are based on structural features of the human brain, the authors found that different patterns emerged for adults with autism when compared with typically-developing adults and also adults with ADHD. Importantly, no single brain region or feature alone was able to discriminate between the groups. When considered together, however, these features were selective approximately 90% of the time.
Machine learning techniques are also being used to classify symptoms in the hope of identifying meaningful subtypes of autism that can lead to tailored effective treatments. Curtis Jensen, a computer science engineer in San Diego has applied these techniques to the ARI database of symptoms from over 40,000 parent surveys. to identify symptom clusters that suggest possible relationships between symptoms that may be useful for identifying subtypes of autism. According to Jensen, the clusters "make sense". For example, those subjects that score high in the fear or anxiety clusters tend to have lower intellectual disability. Similarly, although challenges with language communication are a defining feature of ASD, the obsessive-compulsive cluster seems to experience the least language difficulty.
Machine learning methods are not alone among the computer science tools used to benefit autism. For many years, the Interactive Technology for Autism (ITA) initiative from Autism Speaks, brought together researchers with expertise in computer science and engineering to seek solutions to problems faced in autism. Now, through a $10 million initiative from the National Science Foundation, researchers will combine computer vision, speech analysis and wireless physiological measurements to assist with early diagnosis and behavioral shaping. Collaborators at Georgia Tech, Carnegie Mellon University, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, the University of Southern California and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), will be aiming these powerful tools at social engagement and other behaviors. By analyzing video collected in clinic visits, at schools and also at home, the group hopes to develop tools for screening autism and evaluating the effects of therapy.
Several of the principal investigators involved in the recently awarded NSF grant are long standing members of the ITA steering committee. According to ITA co-chair and Associate Director of the NSF grant, "Organizations like Autism Speaks play a vital role in funding pilot investigations needed to demonstrate scientific feasibility of innovative approaches that lead to larger-scale, federally-sponsored research programs". Stay tuned as we learn more from the new field of Computational Behavioral Science.
This post is by Autism Speaks' staffer, Leanne Chukoskie, Ph.D., Asst. Director for Science Communication and Special Projects.
Imagine having your child's favorite therapist available to you at any time you need. With her uncanny way of drawing out your child, together they practice speech, social interactions and some physical gross and fine motor control drills to improve his coordination skills. Now imagine that all this doesn't cost millions and you don't even need to build on to your house for the therapist's new abode. All she needs is a dose of 110V every few days to keep going.
Such fantastic scenarios aren't necessary the realm of science fiction any longer. Social robots are making appearances in classrooms and even serving as teacher's aides. An article in this week's New York Times makes the case for the unique advantages that these machines bring to the learning environment. For example, RUBI, a robot developed at UCSD, has been deployed in preschools where it has been teaching children Finnish words. RUBI modifies her interactions on the basis of the children's approach and retreat behaviors as well as a real-time analysis of children's facial expressions. Is this child looking frustrated or engaged and content? Using this interactive technology, RUBI and robots like her can individualize interactions to optimize the engagement with each child.
It is precisely this ability to optimize that makes robotics so useful for working with individuals with autism. Katharina Boser, Ph.D. the co-chair of Autism Speaks' Interactive Technology for Autism Initiative (ITA) underscores the utility of programmed real-time interactions for autism. People are unpredictable. For an individual with autism, this aspect of behavior can make interactions with people less desirable than interactions with a robot that matches expectations frequently. With the phenomenal advances in computer technology, a robotic social partner can work on lags in, for example, gestural communication by keeping to a very predictable set of gestures, while adding a bit more variety with speech and intonation if the learner is ready. Other ITA research underscores the point that the social partner does not need to be human-like. Researchers noticed that some young children with autism really engaged with Crush, the sea turtle made famous in Finding Nemo. and have built a therapeutic strategy around this character.
In addition to the robots, other sorts of technology are offering therapy support for autism. By integrating eye-tracking into a game interface, Felicia Hurewitz, Ph.D. (Drexel University) has developed an environment for children that requires gaze interaction with the characters to reveal clues to advance in the game. Nilanjan Sarkar, Ph.D. (Vanderbilt University) is using feedback from an individual's autonomic responses (such as heart rate, sweating) to find the right level of difficulty for a game—not too frustrating and not too easy. The computer interface and simulated human interactions are put to work in service of practicing social skills in a safe environment from SIMmersion, a technology company in Maryland. The ability to analyze, review and evaluate interactions is a great strength of this technology.
These great new tools will undoubtedly change the landscape of autism therapy, but they will never replace a human therapist. Our models of the behaviors being simulated in silico are human. We also need humans to serve as final arbiters of the therapy—did it really work? Are the data being collected valid in other settings? After all, the point of this training is to interact with other people. As of this writing, we still need humans for that!
How Technology Can Improve the Future for My Daughter
This guest post is by Susan Schober. Susan is a 4th year Ph.D. Electrical Engineering-Electrophysics student at the University of Southern California (USC) Viterbi School of Engineering and a mother to a young daughter with autism.
Eva and I
I was searching for answers to my questions. Will she ever speak? Will she have a normal life? What can I do to help? What caused this thing called autism? What about her future? I read tons of books and searched the internet for some kind of direction. I felt totally lost. Helpless. Confused. Sad. I was even embarrassed to tell people. In fact, only people I absolutely trusted knew my secret: my three-and-a-half-year-old daughter, Eva, was diagnosed with non-verbal autism.
After Eva's first birthday, which was filled with presents, laughter, and friends, she came down with a fever that lasted for two weeks. Her words and eye contact left at this time, never to return. Her big beautiful brown eyes developed a glassed-over look. Where was the little girl with the rosy cheeks that smiled and giggled constantly? All that remained was an unresponsive child that stared at our ceiling fans or at the leaves blowing in the trees. She acquired weird habits like her love of collecting anything plastic, especially gift and credit cards. More recently, she became obsessed with computers and anything electronic.
Her current fascination is fine with me though, as I myself am a Ph.D. Student in Electrical Engineering (EE) at the University of Southern California (USC). At USC, I am completing my doctorate in Ultra-Low Power Radio Frequency/Analog Integrated Circuit Design.
The Diagnosis
One of the first challenges occurred when Eva was one and a half years old. She was referred by the Regional Center of Orange County to OCKids for a diagnosis. It was pure luck that Eva was to see Dr. Pauline Filipek, who is a specialist in autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Dr. Filipek's nurse, Teri Book, who would eventually become a great friend, was in charge of scheduling the barrage of tests – which including blood work, EEGs, EKGs, hearing, vision, ultrasound for gastrointestinal issues, and genetics – that followed to get a more accurate picture of what was going on. The official diagnosis came in a 40-page report a few months later. I read it over and over with tears in my eyes.
Eva's Early Start program started soon after. Her therapies included physical, speech/language, Occupational Therapy (OT), and Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA). My mom would always joke that Eva had a full-time job as her work schedule would last 25-30 hours a week, on average. It was hard seeing her frustrated, but we stuck with the program. She slowly learned basic sign language and worked with the PECS (Picture Exchange Communication System) to organize her daily activities.
On one of her follow-up appointments with Dr. Filipek, the doctor tried to get Eva to look in her eyes. This was no easy task. However, Filipek would not give up and finally Eva gave in. Eva looked in Dr. Filipek's eyes for a brief second, and cracked a big smile—the first smile in a year. I almost fell out of my chair. Dr. Filipek whipped around and looked me square in the eyes and said, "There IS a little girl in there wanting to get out. It is OUR job to help her." That was all the fuel I needed to start my quest to find a way to help Eva overcome autism.
The Class
It was by chance that I met Professor Olga Solomon and found that USC had a wide variety of research interests in helping those with ASD. That chance came in September 2009 in the form of an email forwarded to the Electrical Engineering Department at USC's Viterbi School of Engineering where I study. That email was titled: "SEMINAR: Enhancing and Accelerating the Pace of Autism Research and Treatment: The Promise of Developing Innovative Technology by Matthew Goodwin." When I received that email, I did a double take. It was addressed to my USC account and it said the word "autism." I thought by accident I had gotten one of my many autism related newsletters or therapist's emails in the wrong account for some reason. But when I read it for the third time, I realized that yes, there was a scientist coming to USC to speak about integrating engineering techniques into research on autism. I thought it so strange and beautiful. I had to go.
At the end of this eye-opening seminar, Dr. Solomon announced that she would teach a class in the Spring 2010 semester titled "Innovative Technology for Autism Spectrum Disorders" funded by Autism Speaks. The course would unite the fields of engineering, occupational science, neuroscience, psychology, anthropology to give a full view of the technological advances in the world of ASD. Every week, the students would read articles about ASD science and technology, blog about the readings, and invite the authors to present their research in the class. The course was too good to be true. I believe I was the first person to sign up.
The students came from a mix of backgrounds, including engineering, computer science, and occupational therapists. I struggled with being open about the fact that I was a mom of a daughter with autism. When it was my turn, I blurted it out. This was the first time I had ever told people I did not know about Eva's autism and it was therapeutic. This small action opened the door for me to use my engineering background coupled with the knowledge that comes with being a parent of a child with ASD. I was so happy; I was not embarrassed anymore. I was here because of my unique experience and my desire to help and to find answers and solutions.
The first few weeks were dedicated to making sure the students had a strong foothold in what ASD was and what current methods exist to aid those with autism. The first speaker was Portia Iverson and we read about her experiences raising her son with autism through an excerpt from her book "Strange Son." I was so touched by the passage that I wrote in my blog that I was going to buy the book and finish reading it.. The class day came and I received the most touching gift: Dr. Solomon obtained a copy of the book and had Portia sign it for me personally. I read the book in two days.
Each week following the first, the class had wonderful speakers; these included my favorites: Shri Narayanan – a well known Electrical Engineer who deals with speech and signal processing techniques, Skip Rizzo – a Virtual Reality (VR) guru, and Gillian Hayes, who works in pervasive computing for ASD. After each talk, I made every effort to speak with the lecturers in order to ask questions and broaden my knowledge. Most importantly, I wanted to say "thank you" and shake their hands. I had such an overwhelming feeling that in order to solve the puzzle of autism, every approach, story, and effort was an important piece to be considered in the autism equation.
At the end of the semester we worked in teams with mixed backgrounds to develop an innovative idea to apply to the field of autism. My group's project was to develop an interactive VR and pervasive computing program to help diagnose children with autism living in rural areas where there are not enough resources or doctors on-site to make a diagnosis. We collectively wrote a grant proposal which, if accepted and funded, could be applied to disaster areas like that of Hurricane Katrina or Haiti. Using technology such as video and wireless sensors to gather data (including heart rate, sound, and body movement), the VR system could be set up in a remote area and used by a doctor or trained therapist at another location to make an initial assessment for a child suspected of having autism. This, in turn, would allow that child to receive an accurate diagnosis, including a recommendation for therapy or medical attention as needed. Not all families are as lucky as I was to live in an area with access to top doctors, therapists, and research facilities dedicated to autism. Hopefully, with a portable system like the one proposed, costs, such as travel expenses and doctor fees, can be greatly reduced and children suspected of having ASD can receive effective treatment quickly.
Looking Forward
Now that the class is over, I can look back and confidently say I am so grateful for the experience and connections I have made though the semester. The autism technology course has opened a whole new world for me. I signed up for the class because it intrigued me for the obvious reasons. I wanted to know more about autism and what was out there that could possibly help heal my daughter. What Dr. Solomon's course gave me was a basic, yet solid understanding of autism and a way in which I could personally contribute my engineering skills and unique background to forming innovative technologies to improve the lives of individuals with ASD. Looking forward, I would love to continue to further my research in ASD technologies using both my insight as an engineer and a mom of a child with autism.

"There is no sincerer love than the love of food."
George Bernard Shaw
So, as you've probably already noticed, my posting has become largely non-existent of late. The reason being, I've recently gotten engaged and with a wedding coming along at the end of this year I've pretty much been pre-occupied with wedding planning, honeymoon planning, house hunting and to top it off…going after a new job (which I got!). Boy do I know how to torture myself!
So with everything happening and the fact that I cannot dedicate the time I want to towards writing/processing the best posts/photos I can (perfectionist, yes I am), I've decided to take it easy this year and come back with full gusto next year when everything's done, dusted and sorted.
In the meantime…happy eating! :)Read More
Phew, it's been a majorly busy few weeks for me with work, weddings, Easter, family, friends, birthdays…well life in general really (aagh!). Basically this meant I was left with the good old dilemma of 'too much to do, too little time to do it all in'. If only I could have a couple extra hours every day to cram in everything!
Regardless, somehow, I managed to squeeze in a catch-up with our good friends Justin and Christina at Toko in Surry Hills. The vibe of Toko pure trendy. It's definitely a place where you get the feeling that this is where the beautiful people go to be seen.Read More
Ask me what my favourite seafood restaurant with fine dining in Sydney is and my answer would definitely be Pier Restaurant at Rose Bay. I first visited here as a poverty stricken university student when a single meal here could have easily paid for over a week's worth of university cafeteria sandwiches. Many years on, I still remember the meal I had there. So when a high school friend announced a quick visit to Sydney and Pier pipped as the place for our catch up, I didn't have a moment's hesitation in saying yes at the chance to re-visit.Read More
Day two of our trip to Melbourne and we couldn't help ourselves but to go back to Centre Place for our breakfast. This time, we chose another cafe across the laneway to Cafe No 5.
Since we already went with a traditional breakfast the day before, this time we decided to veer off centre and opted to have food of a more Middle Eastern flavour. With Middle Eastern food being characteristically heavier on the stomach it guaranteed that all the boys were happy after the meal.Read More
Okay, so I've been a little slack over the last few weeks owing to being overseas and getting distracted by the over abundance of good food available in Malaysia. But, now that I'm back, it's back to everyday life, and of course that means more food blogging! Anyway, what better way to ease myself back into everyday life by reminiscing on a little break we took in Melbourne a couple months ago.
Day one of our trip consisted of a drive on the Great Ocean Road and needing a good meal to start us off, we went on a wander through the streets of Melbourne and stumbled across Centre Place – a little alleywayRead More
I've always had a rule that I generally stick by and rarely break – never order food from a joint where the chef isn't from the same background as the cuisine. Not to be discriminatory in any way, the simple fact is that I like my food authentic as I can get. Also, call it a quirk of mine, but my mind simply refuses to comprehend the disassociation.
There are however a handful of chefs that beg to differ. Sake Restaurant at the Rocks as can be expected by the name serves contemporary Japanese food and but the executive chef is not Japanese, but a gaijin by the name of Shaun Presland (previously of Sushi E and EstablishmentRead More
Nestled neatly on a quiet side street in Petersham is a homey feeling French and European restaurant called Blancmange to which a group of us converged on to celebrate our friend Amy's birthday. Lucky for us, she managed to secure the private dining room for the dinner on the restaurant's last day of service for 2009 and we were ushered into the restaurant in style via a super secret back entrance.
Complete with a our very own (and very lovely) waitress named Marissa, the private dining room seats sixteen (though we squeezed in seventeen). One of the charms of this place is that the menu here is everRead More

GENERAL DESCRIPTION: It is anticipated that there will be an opportunity this summer (2014) for several students to work as research assistants with Profs. Gibson-Even, Koetke, Grosnick, and Stanislaus, and with Dr. Drachenberg and Mr. Paul Nord. The research project will afford you the opportunity to work closely with one or more of us in data analysis, calibration, and/or simulation studies on the STAR experiment (to understand the origin of the spin of the proton and to understand the spin structure of the proton more generally), and/or the SNS/LANL neutron EDM (nEDM) experiment. For more information about these experiments and links to their sites, visit Nuclear and Particle Physics or this nEDM home page [http://www.phy.ornl.gov/nedm/
LOCATION: The majority of the STAR work will probably be done here at VU. It is possible that one or more students may be based at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) for work on the nEDM experiment. It may be possible for you to do some work, or at least visit, a national laboratory (in 2013 students visited Argonne, Fermilab, Brookhaven, and Jefferson Labs).
REQUIREMENTS: Much of the work will be computer related. Some knowledge of C++ programming is desired. (If you do not know C++ but have had some programming experience you may be able to learn C++ as part of the summer work or in preparation for it.) You will learn to use a graphical analysis package (ROOT) for plotting and analysis of data. There will be opportunities to learn analysis techniques as well as to learn more about the science of nuclei and elementary particles. Students are expected to contribute to a poster presentation at VU, and VU-based students to contribute to a "brown bag" research talk on campus. Most years, students have been selected by the NSF CEU program to present poster presentations based on their work at the American Physical Society's Division of Nuclear Physics (DNP) conference.
DATES & STIPEND: The summer appointment will be for about 10 weeks, with specific work schedules to be discussed. The salary will be around $410 per week with consideration given to prior experience. It is anticipated that housing for work done at VU will be awarded cost-free by the University. Housing and transportation costs for any work done away from VU will be paid for by the supporting research grant..
APPLICATION & DEADLINE: Applications can be obtained from the Department of Physics and Astronomy web site.
Interested applicants are encouraged to submit completed applications as soon as possible to Ms. Wellsand (NSC-237). The deadline for receipt of applications is Friday, 14 February 2014. Please see Profs. Gibson-Even, Koetke, or Stanislaus, or Dr. Drachenberg, in person or contact them by e-mail (click on names above) if you have questions about the position.

For reference, here are the articles with rules elements in Dragon 373:
- Art of the Kill - Assassin themed feats, powers, paragon path, and equipment (of interest to Tonks, I'm sure).
- Codex of Betrayal - Monsters.
- The Brood of Alloces - Monsters.
- Ecology of the Sharn - Monsters (and a level 28 orb).
- Ampersand - Adventurer's Vault preview items. We don't allow preview/playtest material, though.
In terms of player material, the only thing I really see of note is Art of the Kill. Monsters don't require the same sort of approval as player rules elements, anyway.
EDIT: That list is really striking. Glad they've since declared they're going to be more player-focused in Dragon and more DM focused in Dungeon. Monsters belong in Dungeon. Dragon is for player goodies.

Bah. I like having more in-depth things about monsters and stuff in Dragon. Not every issue needs to have tons more player options. The old Ecology Of... articles were awesome, they need more of those! In Dungeon all you get are some stat blocks at the end of adventures.

Man, I remember the good old days when Dragon had stuff that wasn't even about D&D. Like book reviews, and articles for other games. I'd never even heard of Top Secret, but the article about cool James Bond gadgets was still interesting! And I don't recall anybody ever complaining about taking "page count" away from anything...

Ok, catching up on proposals today:
NO on the Orb of Entropy, just to avoid having to list a whole new article in the charter just for one measly item that nobody's ever going to qualify for. If anyone ever gets anywhere close to level 28, we can revisit it.
For the assassin article:
The backgrounds are all PHB2 style, so no particular problem there. Backgrounds at this point are basically "give your character one extra class skill, +2 to any one skill, or a new language, and make up a good reason why". I think we should just allow any background of that format as a matter of course, and keep our regional benefits with more unique and interesting effects instead. (That's a separate proposal, though.) For now I'll just vote YES to the backgrounds (including those that allow Secret Language's - people can just make up a likely sounding secret language, and it may or may not come up in adventures, kind of like the hooks section.)
Feats (won't vote on these until there's some discussion):
Fey Escape pretty much obsoletes Escape Artist for eladrin. There's lots of precedent for that, though.
Fey Death: if a fey pact warlock reduces a cursed enemy to 0, do they now get to teleport twice (3 squares, then 5 squares, or vice versa, for a total of 8 squares touching down once in the middle)? Or do they have to choose one of the two teleport effects to trigger?
Prime Punisher is obviously good for melee rangers, but also great for warlocks combined with Reaper's Touch or the new Eldritch Strike (neither of which have passed yet). I don't think it's overpowered, though, just noting it.
Unexpected Escape: are there any other feats or powers that let you shift after escaping a grab? I'm pretty sure I've seen one, but I may be imagining it. If so, would this shift stack?
Untraceable: Oops. I've already been giving invisible creatures +5 to Stealth. Just looked it up though, and I can't find a rule about that anywhere, so I don't know where I got that from.
Guild feats: these are a neat concept. Do we want to say that you must belong to a specific guild (ie. two characters from different guilds with Furtive Signals don't get the extra bonus) or just let any two characters with a Guild feat get a synergy bonus? I think probably the latter - it's a bit less realistic, but in a normal campaign the DM would normally be arranging things so that all the PC's are in the same guild anyway if these come into play, and letting it be more open would increase their utility in a world where people jump from party to party. (It also avoids the problem of controlling access to guilds: if the MMC start taking guild feats to represent how tight-knit they are, you don't want a random player to be able to declare themselves a member by taking the appropriate guild feat, but you also don't want DM's and judge's to need to make judgement calls about who's allowed to take this and who's not. If any guild is interchangeable, the members of the MMC can claim the random character is actually part of a different guild if they don't want them to join, without affecting the mechanics.)
Wow, that's a lot of feats. Ok, I haven't read the multiclass or technique feats yet - I'll come back to them later.
Nightmare Weaver paragon path: Insidious Curse is problematic when combined with the Rod of Reaving. It lets you kill a minion and immediately curse another minion, which kills that too. The chain is only broken when the nearest creature to you is not a minion. If you're a feylock you can teleport after each kill which lets you put yourself closer to the next minion, too. It's just like the Rod of Reaving/Rod of Corruption combo, but even more powerful.
The items all seem fine to me.

High level lucrative hustling
(NNPA)—It is always somewhat amusing to watch Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton hustle the Democratic Party. They appear like magic at any event even remotely connected to race and issue declarations, proclamations and platitudes denouncing whoever was responsible and predicting havoc if something isn't done about it. Usually, the something being done ended in goodies for Brother Jesse, and Brother Al and some of their posse. Well, it is now obvious that the two rhetorical warriors are rank amateurs compared to the Black crew now hustling the Republican Party. One can only observe in awe as Larry Elder, Gregory Kane, Walter Williams and their cohorts hustle the Republicans. When reading some of the stuff they write in their columns, it is obvious that they know exactly what their White supporters want to read.

Many wurstel were eaten, many bottles of water consumed, many Sharpies gave their lives to the cause. I am quite a hot dog connoisseur, and so
My wife, in one of her rare convention appearances, seemed to enjoy it, so I drew another. Shades of Will Ferrell as Harry Carry here:
"If you were a hotdog, would you eat yourself?"
My wife even started to get in on the fun. Wurstel for all! She whipped out a couple of doodles herself, which she was too ashamed to keep. I suppose I should've taken her lead, but two weeks later my drawings turned up again. I'd forgotten all about them. Chris was mildly amused in a shake-your-head-you're-an-idiot sort of way, but a few minutes later he handed in his own contribution to the fun:
Yes! I'd managed to rope another in. Minutes later, a second drawing was passed over to me. Not content to merely play along, it seemed Herr Moeller was in:
A couple of fans present seemed genuinely bemused. When I was sure my table was clear, I produced the, um, clincher…
And with that, the temporary insanity reached its end.

Apple has pushed out a new Java update to address the malware loophole that saw hackers attempt to extract data from the company, stripping out the Apple-provided browser plugin in the process. The update, which follows Apple's confirmation that a "small number" of its systems had been compromised by an unknown hacking group, basically removes the Java applet plugin from all browsers on an OS X 10.7+ machine.
If the user subsequently wants to access Java applets, they'll see a "Missing plug-in" warning in the page; clicking that will go to Oracle, to download the newest official version. In the process, the update also removes the Java Preferences application, which Apple says is no longer required.
The malware response follows the identification of several loopholes in Java, one of which allows the hackers to compromise some of Apple's own systems. "Multiple vulnerabilities existed in Java 1.6.0_37," the company writes in its security alert, "the most serious of which may allow an untrusted Java applet to execute arbitrary code outside the Java sandbox."
A Java flaw is believed to have been at the root of Facebook's hack incident earlier this month, with the social network's own systems targeted. Oracle itself documented the problem back at the start of February, reacting to security warnings which saw several firms recommend all Java implementations be shut down as a precaution.
Apple maintains that "there was no evidence that any data left" the company, and has pushed out the new update as both a standalone patch and via the Software Update tool in OS X.

"Extremist" Splinter Group Of Somali Islamic Courts Formed
Mogadishu, Somalia, August 12, 2006 (SL Times) – A group that broke away from the Mogadishu [Islamic] courts recently announced in Mogadishu the formation of a new group called Al-Shabaab [the Youth].
The new group is reported to be made up of young militia who erstwhile belonged to the courts' alliance, which fought and defeated the [capital] warlords. The new group is led by Adan Hashi Ayrow, who is said to have been trained in Afghanistan and is among the people listed in the US as a terrorist.
The Al-Shabaab militia is made up of youths aged between 20 and 30 years, who are said to be extremists and the ones who fought at the front-line when the Islamic courts clashed with their opponents such as the defeated Anti-Terrorism Alliance.
The members of the new Al-Shabaab group are mostly uneducated youth engaged mainly in guarding their leaders and officials of foreign institutions. They are reported to have been trained for special operations and are backed by groups of Mogadishu businessmen who were strongly opposed to the defeated warlords.
So far, there is no satisfactory explanation as to why the Al-Shabaab has set up itself as a new group. However, there have been reports circulating in Mogadishu of late to the effect that there are differences of opinion emerging among the leaders of the Islamic courts with some holding extremist opinions and others having moderate views.
Reports say the group that has formed Al-Shabaab played a decisive role in defeating the warlords and was among the most active groups in the Islamic courts. It is now preparing to become a powerful group.
There is also the issue of faction leader Yusuf Indha Ade who controls Lower Shabelle Region. He is one of the senior leaders in the Islamic courts who recently refused to hand over his weapons to the leadership of the courts saying that although his administration supported the courts it was a separate entity and the courts should keep away.
The differences of opinion among leaders in the Islamic courts have been the subject of talk in Mogadishu lately but there are intensive efforts to solve the problem.

My name is Joseph Sgambati and I am a recent graduate from Syracuse University's School of Architecture. I just finished working in the School of Architecture's reading room this summer while I completed a summer course.
For my thesis I designed a new office and studio headquarters for Alexander McQueen to test the ways in which fashion techniques can be exploited in architecture to reflect one's identity. Throughout the course of my education I have worked in many mediums both physically and digitally, and find my research and graphic presentation skills to be some of my strongest. I have also had experience with designing and constructing small scale installations the find ways to repurpose used materials.
I have a great interest in the intersection between architecture, fashion, and graphic design, all as ways to brand oneself and give tangibility to identity.

See when Oasis are hitting the stage and how to get there.
The Hot Press Newsdesk, 16 Jun 2009
The stage times for this Saturday's gig are as follows:
Gig-goers is advised to use public transport like the service offered by Dublin Bus (see dublinbus.ie for details). Gardai have put a traffic management plan in place to get you there safely and on time, so anyone making their own way down should check their route, and be aware that there will be diversions set up. There is a car park available for those driving and it is a 30 minute walk to the concert site from there.
To make sure you have the best time possible at this year's concert, here are a few festival dos and don'ts:
-Dress appropriately – make sure you have wellies, suncream, a jacket and sunglasses. Always be prepared!
-Note that under 16s must be accompanied by a parent or guardian
-Photo ID will be needed to purchase alcohol
-You are not allowed to bring any of the following into the concert site with you: glass, cans, alcohol, fireworks, laser pens, spikes, studs, umbrellas, poles, fold up or blow up chairs or garden furniture.
-Do not park illegally, use the carparks.

Whatever your views on Oasis, there's no denying that their singles are instant anthems. 'The Importance of Being Idle' is one of those to a tee - and less grating that 'Lyla', you'll be glad to know. This time they don't bother trying to be different at all, merely making up in melody what they lack in complexity. And check out the video for it too, where Welsh actor Rhys Ifans gets his groove on as a funeral director. It works, honest.
