This September 24-26, the District of Columbia and the surrounding region will host the sixth annual EcoDistricts Summit, a unique gathering of the world's most innovative city makers.
Each year, the host city provides a programmatic element to the conference. More than a mere site, the conference region serves as host, curriculum and teacher. In 2014, the Washington Region's active projects (SW Ecodistrict; DowntownDC ecoDistrict, Congress Heights/St. Elizabeths and more) will create a rich opportunity to explore how community-driven sustainability works across different contexts.
Urban development leaders of all stripes see the EcoDistricts approach as the powerful way to address many of their pressing challenges, from climate change to neighborhood revitalization. Districts or neighborhoods provide an important scale to accelerate local sustainability goals-small enough to innovate quickly and big enough to have a meaningful impact to inform broader policy and community-wide investments.
EcoDistricts is creating a powerful convening, advocacy, technical assistance and research platform to serve the growing number of sustainable development practitioners, policymakers and change makers who are activating a demonstrable impact in their communities-strategic in nature, collaborative in approach and practical in application. This closely aligns with COG's recent work to bring public, private and non-profit leaders together and share best practices on building sustainable communities.
COG is an EcoDistricts partner and we encourage participation in the conference using COG's 10% off discount code, AD_WMCG1. We'll see you there!

Test your insurance IQ at Bankrate.com. Pssst, we'll help you cheat: "ID Theft" insurance isn't worth it. [Bankrate]
That first question is bogus.
"The worst mistake when it comes to buying insurance is:
You answered: C. Not shopping around.
That's not the right answer. They're all big mistakes to make when buying insurance."
Yes, they're all bad, but are they all the worst?
Stupid quiz.
Wow what a garbage survey, and false advertising. I demand my Insurance IQ !!!
damn.. 9 / 10
im an idiot
@not_seth_brundle: I hate it when people write questions like that. It's a sure sign that whoever wrote that question doesn't know how to read.
I thought HIPPA only protected your privacy, not your ability to get/be insured so I missed that one.

With the (gulp!) festive season fast approaching, it's time to get out your gúnaí Nollaig and get ready to attend boring party after boring party (with the occasional fun night in between). And, God knows, we don't all have enough money to be forking out €100 on a dress every time we have a night out, especially if you're going to have to pay for a taxi, a few drinks, entry into a nightclub (did I just wake up one day and all of a sudden that cost a tenner?!) and a cheeky Burger King on the way home.
Dress Topshop; Drinks, Anywhere that'll have you
So your best option is to get yourself a dress that you can wear a variety of ways, for a variety of events – from a family Christmas outing (one of my earliest memories is of a walk up Grafton Street to look at Switzers' windows followed by dinner in Eddie Rockets!) to a work Christmas party and even a Christmas-time date or two (if you're not too busy scrapping over whether or not you're getting a real tree).
This dress (£35) from Topshop is a great all-rounder. It's a decent length (not too long, not too short) and it's got a cinched-in waist, which means it's perfect for wearing with a belt. It's got a cut-out detail at the back (which you can see if you click into the link!) and it's high enough at the neck that it won't frighten your boss (or your da).
It's also a decent price – as I said, you don't want to spend €100 on a dress that you're only going to wear at Christmas (although, in this case, I could really see this being worn again, by me anyway!).
So let's talk through a few different scenarios – when you could wear this and what with!
Dates are the only times when I am concerned with being sexy. When I was a bit younger, a Friday night out with the girls was a cause of real concern – I got the girls out for the girls, if you know what I'm saying. Since I got a bit older and more boring, I only really worry about being sexy when I have someone to be sexy for. Is that an anti-feminist statement?! (Ah, who cares!)
The sexiest thing about this dress is the cut-out back, so I'd keep coverage minimal and let him get a little teaser – loads of men say the lower back is one of the sexiest parts of a woman (sure don't One Direction sing about it in that yawnsome Little Things?). To keep things girly, go for a strappy sandal – these silver heels by Faith are super-sexy and currently reduced to €54.75. They'd go really well with these teardrop earrings from Penneys, which are a steal at €5. And keeps things in the metallic realm with a grey clutch from BeautyCouture.ie (just don't be tempted to scare him with a full-on McQueen-esque box clutch – men do not understand fashion!).
My girlfriends appreciate the finer things in fashion, so I like to funk things up a bit when we go out and show off my fashion nous! (In the least showy-offy way possible, I swear!) I'd start off by going a little wild with this animal print studded clutch from Zara. It's a little on the pricey side at €79.95, but it's leather, which always helps me justify ridiculous purchases! I love to mix animal print with colours and statement jewels, so I'd go for a great neckpiece, like this bunting-themed baby from Asos (€13.89). And because that's not all statement-y enough, I'd team it with a pair of ankle boots and this great cardigan from River Island (also £35).
Your work Christmas party is possibly the most precarious of all. Get it wrong, and people will remember you for the whole year as "the girl who wore the onesie to the office party". I mean, this may not be a bad thing – some people like onesies. I am making a joke – of course this will be a bad thing. In any case, we've got our dress already, the question is: where do we go from here?
A tailored jacket is a must. Like the Financial Times, a tailored jacket says: business. Try this number from River Island (£65): it's cool and fashion forward, while also being slightly serious and covering up that sexy back detail.
If I were a UK magazine, I would now write something like "that you can choose to reveal to hot Jeffrey from supplies later on in the night if you wish". But I'm not, so I won't.
Your shoes, for the office party, need to also mean business – don't go for anything sexy, stripper-adjacent or strappy. Trust me on this one. These courts from Penneys (€15) are cool and office-appropriate, and you'll get good wear out of them going forward, as the marketing folk might say. And the piéce de resistance? This great belt, €14.90 from Accessorize – match it to your lipstick and you're laughing (but please, don't go too glossy – shiny lips are passé, didn't you hear?).
Have you got many nights out planned this season? What are you going to wear? Let me know in the comments!

AIKEN, S.C. – Michael Technow obtained his first double-double in a Pacer uniform, but USC Aiken's advances to best the fourth-ranked team in NCAA Division II fell just short in a 87-74 loss to Florida Southern on Saturday afternoon at the Convocation Center.
The loss was USC Aiken's second consecutive, leaving the Pacers at 2-2 in the 2009-10 campaign entering their Peach Belt Conference opener against Francis Marion at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 2 in Florence, S.C.
Fourth-ranked Florida Southern (4-0) stayed perfect on the year with the victory over the Pacers.
The Pacers controlled the play in the opening minutes of the contest, going up by as many as three points with 14:57 left in the first half of play.
The two teams would remain close for the remainder of the first half with Technow (Boca Raton, Fla./Boca Raton) hitting a lay-up in the final second of the first half. The lay-up kept USC Aiken within reach and set the score at 45-41 in Florida Southern's favor at intermission.
Florida Southern controlled the action for the majority of the second half, going up by as many as 17 points with 5:44 left in the game. The Pacers would play the Mocs tough for the rest of the game before the two teams settled on the 87-74 final.
USC Aiken shot well as a team in the contest at 46.9 percent (30-for-64). The Mocs shot just a bit better at 49.1 percent (26-for-53). Florida Southern was deadly from beyond the arc in the contest, connecting on 52.4 percent (11-for-21) of their shots from 3-point range in the game.
USC Aiken controlled the paint, outscoring the Mocs, 40-18. The Pacers also finished with more bench points than the Mocs (26-12). The story of the game though may have been that Florida Southern was able to produce 20 points off the Pacers' 18 turnovers.
Technow's double-double was the second of the year for the Pacers. He scored a team-high 22 points to go along with his game-high 10 rebounds. Technow was 9-for-13 from the floor in the game.
Byron Faison (Sumter, S.C./Winthrop) was the only other Pacer to finish in double figures with 10 points in total.
USC Aiken senior Seth Leonard (York, Pa./William Penn) did not score in double figures in the game with five total points, but he did bring down nine caroms.
Six different players finished in double figures for the visiting Mocs with all five starters ending their efforts in double digits. Terry Jenkins led the way for the Mocs with a game-high 26 points. Jenkins was 5-for-7 from beyond the arc.
The loss was the first regular season home loss for the Pacers to a non-conference foe since moving into the Convocation Center prior to the start of the 2007-08 season. USC Aiken after the loss to fourth-ranked Florida Southern is now 28-2 during the regular season inside the Convocation Center.

New Chesapeake Energy chairman expected this week
Published: Sunday, June 17, 2012 at 8:23 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, June 17, 2012 at 8:23 p.m.
OKLAHOMA CITY — Oklahoma City-based Chesapeake Energy Corp. is expected to name a new chairman this week, although the 23-year-old company has given no indication who that will be.
Aubrey McClendon has agreed to step down as chairman of the company he co-founded in 1989 after questions were raised about the company's corporate governance and a report that he secured up to $1.1 billion in personal loans, including loans from a private equity firm that does business with Chesapeake.
McClendon will remain as chief executive officer.
Chesapeake has said it will name a new chairman and four new board members by Friday, but the company has yet to formally accept the resignations of two directors who were denied re-election at Chesapeake's June 8 annual meeting.
The board's two-member nominating committee has been considering candidates for chairman since May. Member Don Nickles told The Oklahoman (http://bit.ly/LeopM3 ) it's close to making its selection.
Fadel Gheit, an analyst at Oppenheimer in New York, suggested to the newspaper possible candidates, including former Chevron CEO David O'Reilly, ex-Exxon Mobile Corp. executive Edward Galante and retired ConocoPhillips CEO Jim Mulva.
Gheit said any legitimate candidate for the position should live in Oklahoma City to play an active role in managing Chesapeake's transition, which McClendon has described as a move from asset acquisition to asset harvest.
"The new chairman must be closely involved in all decisions and that cannot be done long distance," Gheit said.
Chesapeake is the No. 2 natural gas producer in the United States, behind ExxonMobil.

The blog of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation
Whether you've lived here for a month or 10 years, Miami is a city that is constantly revealing itself. I've spent a lifetime walking, biking and driving this city, and I still find new layers and neighborhoods, people and ideas that make me look at my hometown in new ways.
I thought about this as I watched the videos for the five Knight Arts Challenge People's Choice Award nominees. They have a shot at winning $20,000 in a text-to-vote campaign that is open through this Friday, Nov. 15.
Each has a story to tell. There's a program in Allapattah, a neighborhood I covered in my former job as a reporter, that is helping disadvantaged kids find their voice; the playwright whose work I enjoyed a decade ago, now bringing another Miami story to stage; filmmakers in Wynwood who are building a community of indie storytellers; a bookseller in Little Haiti who wants to bring more Haitian and diaspora writers to Miami. And this: Puppets!
You can watch a short video of each at knightarts.org/peopleschoice, or you can watch the Cliffs Notes' version – a one minute summary of all five – in the video above.
It only takes a few minutes to watch, enjoy, vote and help make an artist's dream come true.
Happy voting.

Viewing DTC Ads Fairly
Viewing DTC Ads Fairly
01.27.12 | By
Yesterday, the New York Times' Well blog posted a commentary on DTC advertising. Although its underlying tone was one of skepticism, it did briefly touch on a couple of useful points.
For example, the article noted: "It's difficult to ascertain whether efforts aimed directly at consumers ultimately translate into real sales. A recent marketing study found that fewer than 3 percent of patients mentioned a marketed drug by name and less than 1 percent asked for a prescription."
This gets to the heart of the issue of DTC advertising - enhancing patient awareness and care.
Research has shown that DTC encourages patients to talk to their doctors about previously undiagnosed or untreated conditions. To this end, a recent surveyconducted for Prevention Magazine found that 29 million patients spoke with their physicians about a health condition for the first time after seeing DTC ads. During those conversations, most patients discuss behavioral and lifestyle changes, and more than half receive recommendations for OTC or generic drugs.
Akin to the research cited in the NYT piece, the survey found that only a small percentage of people request a specific medication after seeing a DTC ad. In other words, a patient's request does not mean that a prescription is automatically written. In reality, many factors influence a physician's prescribing decisions, including their clinical knowledge, the patient's specific situation, articles in peer-reviewed journals, clinical practices guidelines and more. As patients, would we want it any other way?
The NYT post also quotes a sociologist expressing concern that pharmaceutical and other health-related companies have too much influence on patient care "because it's our health and the quality of our lives that are at stake."
It's precisely because the health and quality of our lives are at stake that physicians need to be equipped with the most up-to-date information about the medicines they consider prescribing, and that patients should be encouraged to discuss health concerns with their doctors.
I have a hard time arguing with those who decry the volume of DTC ads. But it's important to put these ads, which have evolved tremendously over the last decade, into a fair perspective. Are they marketing tools? Yes, of course. But they also can play a valuable educational role.
Lastly, I'd be shirking my job if I didn't remind you of the voluntary, meaningful commitment that PhRMA and its members have made to help ensure that DTC advertisements "provide accurate, accessible and useful health information to patients and consumers," as laid out in our Principles. A fine read for a Friday afternoon.

In my opinion the new Nine Inch Nails album is one of the best things Trent Reznor's ever done, not to mention a massive improvement over the merely-okay With Teeth. I think shifting away from the personal to the political was a wise move on his part, a direction I was hoping he'd go in since I saw him on the With Teeth tour (one of the best live shows I've ever seen, including Bowie).And, for what it's worth, it's probably the most depressing album he's ever done. Make of that what you will.Edit: also, "Capital G" sucks balls. The rest is ace, though!

As Cupcake Fad Fades, Crumbs Branches Out
Maybe the macaron is to blame for the cupcake's decline, or perhaps the cronut, real or imposter. Or a marketplace flooded with cupcakes. Or an emerging desire to fit into our old jeans again. Whatever the reasons, Crumbs Bake Shop is having a serious sugar crash. The cupcake chain's same-store sales fell 15.4 percent last quarter, following a 17.7 percent drop in the previous three months, and there's no relief on the horizon: Chief Executive Officer Julian Geiger said he expects more of the same in the second half of the year.
Oh, sweet sorrow. To reverse course, the 78-store chain is trying to branch out beyond cupcakes, which still make up about three-fourths of its sales. To bring in lunch customers, Crumbs added sandwiches and salads by chef David Burke at New York stores—in such fancy varieties as pastrami salmon and beet and goat cheese—"to capitalize on a missing day part," as Geiger put it. It also is selling soft drinks and chips across its locations.
As for beverages, Crumbs last year started serving Starbucks coffees, teas, and espresso-based drinks as part of a plan to boost coffee sales. (The chain agreed to buy about $780,000 worth of Starbucks products per year through August 2015.) By the first quarter of 2013, beverages represented 10.2 percent of net sales, compared to 9.9 percent a year earlier—only a slight increase and lower than beverages' 11.1 percent-share during full-year 2012.
The chief executive also noted discussions about starting a profitable "merchandise licensing program" and possibly franchising Crumbs stores internationally, though no additional details were provided during the call.
Crumbs expanded quickly from 35 locations in mid-2011, around the time that it went public, which has hurt comparable sales. As the company explained in its first quarter filing: "The decrease in same store sales was predominantly due to negative effects of locating new stores in close proximity to existing stores, resulting in a reduction in sales in same stores previously opened." The company is now closing underperforming stores.
For those who still crave a Colossal cupcake (which serves six to eight people … theoretically), walking the extra blocks isn't the worst thing that could happen.

So, you want to be an all-state thinclad?
Well, it takes talent, and lots and lots of hard work.
Of the four All-Ohio honorees at this past weekend's OHSAA State Track and Field Championship at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium on the campus of The Ohio State University, two were pole vaulters - Marietta High's school record holder Paige Grosel (11 feet, 4 inches) and Fort Frye's Derek Spindler (13-6).
The other two were Emma Ryan of Warren in the discus and Dakota Hoffman of Belpre in the long jump.
Thing is, pole vaulting is not an easy event, not by a long shot. But it sure seems like there's a lot of good vaulters in the Mid-Ohio Valley. Marietta's Will Cogswell and Warren's Cole Wigal each was a place or two shy from qualifying for state in the event at regional.
But both will be back next spring for another go at it.
This past season, Cogswell, who is from a family of pole vaulters, set an MHS record (14-3) in the event.
Over in West Virginia at last month's state meet at Charleston's Laidley Field, Lincoln Postlewaite won her second straight pole vault championship in 10-6, a meet record. Her Lady Yellowjacket teammates' Liz Flowers - a state champ as a sophomore - and Kenzie Smith were third and fourth, respectively, in the event.
On the boys side, Williamstown's Alex Marchetti was runner-up in 13-6 while Mitch Goertler placed fourth in 12-6.
Really, is there something in the valley's water supply that makes all of these student/athletes such competitive vaulters?
Well...no, but it is great coaching and dedicated track and field athletes.
In fact, in the wake of the state track meet in the Buckeye State, there's a pole vault camp at Williamstown High Thursday and Friday. It's called "Gravity Is a Myth Pole Vault Camp," and it's run by longtime PV guru and coach Doak Markley. If interested, phone the coach at (304) 375-5959, or email him at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Markley seems to help churn out top-notched pole vaulters year-in and year-out in the area every spring.
Just ask Grosel, Spindler, and many, many others who have attended his camp.
"Our vaulters get a lot of help from Doak Markley, the Williamstown coach," said Fort Frye track and field coach Bobbi Webb. "They go to his camp every summer, which is a great pole vault camp."
Markley isn't the only one, either.
Before state qualifiers' Stephanie Huck and Spindler went to the state meet in Columbus last Thursday, the two Fort Frye pole vaulters practiced during the earlier part of the week at Warren High. Their coach was Pat Wigal.
"Pat Wigal who coaches at Warren and works with their pole vaulters has given up a lot of his free time," Webb said. "He works with our pole vaulters and deserves a lot of credit."
Wigal incidentally pole vaulted as a prep athlete at Belpre High.
Grosel started pole vaulting when she was in middle school, Marietta High track and field coach Mollie Schramm said.
"Eric Parsons was her coach then," Schramm said.
While Parsons is no longer a middle school coach, Grosel got better by going to camps in Williamstown and West Virginia University. She's received guidance from several people, including Ron Kidder.
Kidder, currently the MHS volleyball coach, was a pole vaulter during his prep days as a Tiger athlete.
"Ron worked with Paige last year and went to state with her," Schramm said.
Grosel will be attending The Ohio State University at the end of the summer and may walk on the Buckeye track and field team, while Spindler is planning to go to Findlay College to continue his education and pole vaulting.
Who knows, maybe even better days in the pole vault event may be ahead for the two All-Ohio honorees.

AbstractEndogenous polyphenolic compounds in cacao impart both bitter and astringent characteristics to chocolate confections. While an increase in these compounds may be desirable from a health perspective, they are generally incongruent with consumer expectations. Traditionally, chocolate products undergo several processing steps (e.g., fermentation and roasting) that decrease polyphenol content, and thus bitterness. The objective of this study was to estimate group rejection thresholds for increased content of cocoa powder produced from under-fermented cocoa beans in a semisweet chocolate-type confection. The group rejection threshold was equivalent to 80.7% of the non-fat cocoa solids coming from the under-fermented cocoa powder. Contrary to expectations, there were no differences in rejection thresholds when participants were grouped based on their self-reported preference for milk or dark chocolate, indicating that these groups react similarly to an increase in high cocoa flavanol containing cocoa powder.

Chronological Trends in Negev Rock Art: The Har Michia Petroglyphs as a Test Case

AbstractNegev rock art comprises a large and diverse corpus of motifs and compositions developed over the course of several millennia. As dating of specific elements is at present not possible, the rock art was analyzed statistically through the study of individual panels where internal sequences of engraving could be discerned. Examining the set of such individual sequences, larger scale reconstruction of engraving phases, sequences and patterns were recognized. Additional chronological markers, such as the presence of domestic camels or other chronologically diagnostic features, offer benchmarks for tying the general trends to more absolute frameworks. The reconstructed patterns reflect the long term history of the Negev and some of the most significant cultural and social transitions in the region are reflected visually through the rock art, notably a form of self-expression, a crucial complement to the historical sequences derived from sedentary peoples living farther north. For example the introduction of the domestic camel and its symbolic and economic significance is well evident in the rock art. Similarly, the emergence of Islam is expressed through the mark makers' preference for "abstract" (non-figurative) motifs. One motif found throughout all engraving phases, transcending the religious, political and economic structures of Negev society, is the "ibex". Although Negev societies have all focused, to one degree or another, on sheep and goat pastoralism, these animals are rarely present in the Negev rock art and never as herds. Ibex, whose role in the diet and daily subsistence was minimal, was the most commonly depicted zoomorphic motif.

In response to the growing interest in the FairTax, the Chippewa Valley chapter of the FairTax campaign was established. Our goal is to educate you on the FairTax Act, gain your support, and let our representatives in Washington know who you are and that you would also like them to support the Act. We do not endorse any particular candidate for office nor are we affiliated with any political party. Read our Mission Statement
In 1994, three Houston businessmen were meeting together for lunch. As was common, they began commiserating about the ridiculousness of the Federal Income tax code. But at this particular lunch, they decided to do something about it, and each pledged $1.5 million as seed money to hire the best tax experts in the country to identify the faults with the current system, to determine what American citizens would like to see in tax reform, and then to design the best system of taxation. With their initial infusion of $4.5 million, the three went on to raise an additional $17 million. That money funded focus groups with citizens around the country as well as studies with nationally prominent experts in tax policy. The market research also included telephone surveys, targeted advertising, and measuring website hits from that advertising. All the research was extensive and distinguishes the FairTax from every other tax reform proposal ever put forward. The FairTax is a thoroughly and professionally researched response to the question: "What do the American people want in their tax system?"
The FairTax is an idea. It imagines the Federal government collecting taxes in a revolutionary way. In this idea the government no longer collects Income tax, Social Security tax and Medicare tax, meaning you would bring home everything you make. The government would no longer collect Payroll tax, which means employers wouldn't be taxed for paying their employees or see a tax increase every time they give their employee's a raise. The government would no longer collect estate tax and capitol gains tax, which means you don't get more taken from you the more you get ahead.
The FairTax idea calls for the government to replace the current system, with all of its deductions, revisions, brackets, loopholes, and politicking, with one national consumption tax on all NEW goods and services at the retail level rate of 23/30 percent. What this means is that a tax is added to the price of every new good or service that is sold retail. Business to business transactions are tax free which, along with the elimination of the payroll tax, would create a business environment second to none in the world. Business' would inevitably flood to the U.S.
The FairTax would expand greatly the number of people paying taxes because the current system doesn't tax non-citizens or those working under the table. This alone would make for a worthwhile debate, but the FairTax doesn't stop here. The FairTax recognizes that under any tax system the ones hit the hardest are the poor. And while the FairTax as an idea would do more to encourage hard work, saving and growing one's wealth than any other tax system ever, it proposes an idea to help the poor just as they are.
The FairTax calls for a monthly "Prebate" that would pay every American citizen the amount in taxes spent on goods and services up to the poverty line. To clarify, the government would determine each year what the poverty line is. Then they would determine how much one would pay in taxes on that amount each month. Whatever that amount is, would be paid to every citizen at the beginning of every month. For those living below the poverty line, they would actually end up with a monthly revenue stream.
The FairTax is more than just an idea; it is a bill that has been drafted by United States Congressman John Linder (R-GA). This bill sits in waiting for the support necessary to push it past lobbyists, political favors, politicians dependant on the current system to buy votes - enough support to push it all the way to the President's office.

Award: Lester R. Ford
Year of Award: 2012
Publication Information: The American Mathematical Monthly, vol. 118, no. 1, January 2011, pp. 3-21.
Summary (From the Prizes and Awards booklet, MathFest 2012)
In this paper the author not only tells us that Eisenstein was scooped by Theodor Schönemann but, much more interestingly and importantly, he explains why both men were led to the result. It's an engrossing tale beginning with Gauss's equal division of the circle, the relation of that work to the analogous problem on a lemniscate, the connection of that problem to the question of solvability by radicals of polynomials, and thence into Galois theory, finite fields, and elliptic curves. It is a rich story, not of a priority dispute but of a sweeping flow of ideas beginning with Gauss (who partially scooped both Schönemann and Eisenstein) and extending into the heart of modern-day mathematics.
About the Author: (From the Prizes and Awards booklet, MathFest 2012)
David A. Cox went to Rice University and received his Ph.D. from Princeton University in 1975. After teaching at Haverford and Rutgers, he has been at Amherst College since 1979, except for a sabbatical at Oklahoma State University. After more than 30 years, he still loves the combination of teaching and scholarship that is possible at a liberal arts college. His current areas of research include toric varieties and the commutative algebra of curve parametrizations. His earlier work in algebraic geometry includes papers on étale homotopy theory, elliptic surfaces, and infinitesimal variations of Hodge structure, and he also has interests in number theory and the history of mathematics. He is the author of books on number theory, computational algebraic geometry, mirror symmetry, Galois theory, and toric varieties, three of which have been translated into Japanese.

Hyperion Theme of War
You'd think that with thousands and thousands of years of experience and history, humans would have figured out a way to settle their differences that didn't involve guns and giant honking bombs. Nope. Even 700 years from now, we're still fighting and killing. Hyperion shows us a couple of wars that occurred before the main narrative takes place, most of the battles over land and resources. And then there's the war-mongering Ousters, who are war-mongering, but we can't even figure out what their angle is. All we know is that the Hegemony sees them as a threat. The brutal fights with this race of people (who seem to be just as human as we are) makes us echo the late Rodney King when we say, "Can't we all get along?"
Questions About War
- What are the reasons for war in the 28th century? Land? Resources? Boredom? Are we supposed think that war is just universal, and there's no way to stop it?
- How has warfare changed in 700 years? What's stayed the same? How plausible is it that tacticians would still be studying ancient wars?
- Why is the Hegemony at war with the Ousters?
- Do you believe there is such a thing as honorable warfare?

KINGSTON — A Mexican restaurant along the Rondout Creek facing foreclosure after racking up $1.33 million in debt has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
The owner of Rosita's Restaurant and Cantina Bar filed on Dec. 13 to stave off a foreclosure sale that had been scheduled for Dec. 18.
The popular summertime dining and nightspot owes $950,000 on its mortgage with Ulster Savings Bank and $385,000 on loans from Kingston's Local Development Corp.
Rosita's hasn't made a mortgage payment since July 2009 or a loan payment since May 2008, court papers allege.
"On many levels, it's unfair," said Jen Fuentes, executive director of the Kingston LDC. "They're not paying us, they're not paying the bank."
The restaurant's owner, Melke Land Co., says it lost $50,000 in 2010 and 2011.
Mother Nature has only made things worse. Rosita's said it spent $60,000 on post-Hurricane Irene repairs and suffered another $85,000 in damage from Hurricane Sandy.
Bill Melkesetian operates the restaurant with his mother, Rosita Melkesetian. They purchased the land in 2000 and received nearly $500,000 in loans and grants as part of a waterfront revitalization effort.
Bill Melkesetian told the courts he nearly secured a deal in 2011 to sell the property to the Hudson River Sloop Clearwater for $1.93 million. Operators of the environmentally themed vessel announced plans that year to have it spend winters along the Rondout and build a shed just yards away from Rosita's.
But the deal between Rosita's and Clearwater fell through.
"My plan has been to sell the restaurant, pay off the mortgage and recoup the remaining entity," Bill Melkesetian wrote July 9, trying to fight off a foreclosure sale set that was set for July 12.
But Ulster Savings Bank doesn't want to wait for Rosita's to find another buyer.
"Defendant is merely attempting to stay this foreclosure action so that his restaurant can stay open through the summer "� in order to reap as much profits as possible," said bank lawyer Gerald Roth.
State Supreme Court Justice Henry Zwack ruled in favor of the bank Oct. 29, prompting the reorganization filing.
Melkesetian wrote Dec. 13 that Rosita's has a monthly profit of $488. The restaurant has one employee, who receives $290 weekly. That's in stark contrast with the summer, when Melkesetian said Rosita's had 25 employees. The restaurant offers outdoor seating with waterfront views.
"The best interest of the creditors, the debtor and the community it would be a service in allowing the debtor to continue its business," Melkesetian wrote.
Lawyers for Ulster Savings Bank haven't yet responded to the bankruptcy filing and didn't return calls for comment.

There's a demo available for download for ps3. Played it yesterday night and the introduction to the game grabs you quickly into the story. Some scenes in the game are great but overall it's a bit too slow for me. I wish they had a running feature because I have no patience in "walking" throughout the whole game.

Mark in Minnesota wrote: If you're anything like me, you started out telling yourself you would get both and then deciding "fuck it" because Halo, Mass Effect, and Fable--among other quality franchises--are, between the two systems, Microsoft-exclusive; most of the other best games are multi-platform; and among those multi-platform games the X-variations have innately better anti-aliasing, don't require hour-long system downloads, and employ a more comfortable controller. That said, you would buy a PS3 if you could afford it, because things like Ninja Gaiden 1 & 2 Sigmas, MGS4, etc are Sony-exclusive. That also said, you're happy you went with the 360 first, not only because of the aforementioned 360-exclusive catalog but because, due to the aforementioned rendering superiority, by Square-Enix's own admission FFXIII will run more easily on the 360 than on the PS3, even if, because of the necessary DVD compression, there will be a slight color-quality downgrade that will be practically imperceptible to undiscerning human eyes.
Quote: Bioshock tried, wherever possible, to drape its mechanics in a contextually sound mantle. The one with the two at the end inherits that work, but is happy as a general rule to make something that is less a statement than a videogame. I'm sympathetic to their plight, certainly. They were charged with making a sequel to a game that is - quite clearly - a satire of the medium and its adherents. The entertainment software I've got here ranges from good to very good. It lacks, or has done away with, its father's restless spirit; I'm wondering how much I care.
Mark in Minnesota wrote: EDIT: Also, I could afford a PS3 if I wanted one. I just barely have time to play through the Xbox 360 must-play titles, even intentionally skipping online play and sports franchises because of the time-sink aspects; getting a PS3 too wouldn't mean more gaming in aggregate, just less attention paid to each individual title I bought.

As a result, he's ready to build a wall around his swamp and let the world go its separate way. Hear the review above or read the entire review at www.ColoradoDrama.com. Denver Center Theatre: Animal Crackers By Bob Bows • Apr 24, 2014 Jennifer M. Koskinen / www.ColoradoDrama.com Let's go back to the public stage in the late '20's and early '30's, during the transition between Vaudeville and musical theatre, when a variety of great acts were woven together with a comedic premise, providing evenings of great hilarity, virtuosity, and social commentary. No one had more fun with this form than the Marx brothers—Groucho, Harpo, Chico, and Zeppo—on stage and then on film. In the Denver Center Theatre Company's current production of Animal Crackers—a 1928 stage musical and 1930 film—we have the pleasure of experiencing the charm and zaniness that made this bunch of goof Tomorrow in the Battle: Bows review By Bob Bows • Feb 28, 2014 "Tomorrow in the Battle" is set in London, and KUVO drama critic Bob Bows calls the Kieron Barry play "a riveting mix of compelling drama and sublime lyricism."

|Cute Plaits And Braids
Cute plaits and braids are everywhere in Celebville, creating the perfect festival fix or a more elegant evening style.
The hottest look is to plait a small section casually. Keep it loose and messy. Don't worry if it's not perfect.
All "hair-up" styles work best on hair that isn't freshly washed - if you have squeaky clean locks they'll be too slippery - but use a spritz of freshening spray to ensure it still smells good.
Try taking the front section of your hair, plaiting and then pinning it behind your ear or leave the plait loose for more hippy look.

text: Mayes studied with the famed guitarist Segovia, on a scholarship paid for by Spain, after a stint in the U.S. Army. His father, Sammy, was the Principal cellist with the Philadelphia Orchestra, and Eugene Ormandy got him an introduction to Segovia who was doing a benefit for the Philadelphia Orchestra. He played for Segovia, one of the finest of the 20th century guitarists , who invited him to his masterclasses in St. James de Compostela, in Spain. When Joe explained that he had just returned from the army, and had no money for that, Segovia arranged for the Spanish government to give him a scholarship. Prior to that he studied at the Settlement Music School in Philadelphia. This year his solo guitar concert will feature works by Turlough O'Carolan a leading Irish harpist, Edin Solis, Alexandre Tansman, Francis Kleynjans, J.S. Bach, and Roger Hudson. O'Carolan was the most famous Irish harper, Edin Solis is a Costa Rican composer, and Alexandre Tansman , a Pole, wrote "The Suite Cavatina" for Segovia. Francis Klegnjans is a French contemporary composer, J.S. Bach needs no explanation, and Roger Hudson is alive and well in Nashville.

Wanted man arrested after 7-hour ocean standoff
CORONADO, Calif. A wanted man who held off police by standing in the ocean off San Diego County for seven hours has finally been arrested.
Coronado police say the man, who appeared to be under the influence of drugs, was taken into custody shortly before 5:30 a.m. Monday. His name hasn't been released.
Police went to arrest the man near the Hotel Del Coronado shortly before 10 p.m. Sunday on a felony warrant alleging drug violations.
KFMB-TV ( http://bit.ly/10fSwKl ) says the man fled, running shirtless into the ocean and threatening to kill anyone who got near. He waded and swam near the surfline for hours while police waited him out.
Authorities say he finally was taken into custody and was treated for hypothermia.

You looked through your bag one last time, better safe than sorry. You've been planning this for months, ever since you had tracked him and learned his schedule. No sense mucking it up after coming this far...
Like clockwork, he leaves the group and starts off on his own. Sneaking after him, you soon find yourself far from anyone else, the perfect time to strike. Before he knows what's happening, your hand covers his mouth and nose with a chloroform-soaked rag. A few moments of heavy struggling from the boy before his eyes shut and he is yours!
You watch your prize's eyes flutter on the screen before they open. It takes a few more moments for them to focus and start taking in his predicament. Arms stretched high, pulling his naked torso tight to the pillar behind him. His legs outstretched in front of him, stopping at his ankles locked in a heavy set of wooden stocks, his bare feet on the other side.
He wiggles his oh-so-adorable toes, trying to see if he can do anything to even see them, but they are blocked from his vision.
You make sure the cameras all around the room are recording properly before you leave the control booth you've made yourself and creep into the torture room. You hear him without even getting close.
"Help! Is someone there? Please help!" Justin wiggles and pulls at his arms and legs. Silently, you move up to the pillar behind him. Reaching around them, slowly you start wiggling your fingers up and down his sides.
"EEEEEAAAAWHAHAHAT!? Eeeheeheeeewhahahat the heck ihihis gohohoing ohohon! Stahahaap eeeeheeeeehe! Ihihit thihihihicklesss heheeehee!" Justin shrieks at the out-of-nowhere sensations, and starts wiggling from side to side.
Your fingers continue to tease the soft sides of the teen pop star as he giggles and wiggles. His laughter increases in pitch as your fingers tickle up his ribs and then dip into his pits.
"NAHAA Ahahahaoohoooho onohoho plehehehehease stahahaap! IHIHIHIHT tihickles! EHehehee!" His smooth armpits feel like silk under your fingertips, almost as if he hadn't even started growing any hair there! You smirk to yourself as you dig in.
"EHEHEHEE EHHEehehhheeeestahahaap hihihihttt HAHhahahahaaheheee!" Justin jumps as much as he can, tied and stocked as he is.
You lean in to whisper into his left ear, not stopping the tickling. "Welcome, Justin Bieber, to my Tickle Dungeon!" Raking your fingers across his widely open armpits, you love how he shrieks and giggles.
"EEEEEHEHEHEHHEHEHHHAAH EHEHEH EHEHEHNAHAH STHTHAAPP AHHEHEHEHE!" He begs and pleads for mercy for the entire ten minute long armpit tickling.
You leave him to recover, moving around to the short chair you placed in front of the stocks. You don't care about him seeing your face - it won't matter in the end.
Sitting in front of him, you grin at Justin. He pants, catching his breath with wide eyes as you look between his face and his feet. They twitch and wiggle before you even touch them.
"Puh... Please. No more. Please, not my feet. I can't... I'll never tell anyone, I'll stay quiet for my whole life about this I swear, just don't... Not my feet!" You smile sweetly, staring into his eyes as you drag both index fingers down his feet.
"AHHHHHHHNAHHAAAHHH!" He jumps as much as the bonds allow, feet and toes spasm the moment your fingers touch them. You drag them slowly down the very center of his soles, over and over, causing Justin to shriek time and time again, his toes and feet pull and wiggle.
"OHOHO OH GOOHOOD NOHOHOT THIHIHS PLEEHEEEASE!" Slowly you start adding fingers, the teen idol's laughter increasing exponentially with each new one. His silky soft soles twitch and writhe under your light assault.
Justin continues laughing as your fingers scratch and slide over his poor helpless feet, continuing for quite some time before giving the Canadian teen a break.
His head lolled forward as he panted, body slick with sweat. As soon as his breathing returns to normal, you start scratching your nails across the stationary heels of both his feet. His toes curl adorably as he once again starts shrieking with laughter.
"NAHAHAAHAAT AGAHAAHIN! AHAHAHAAHHAAH AHAHA AHAHAHAHAHA AHHA! HAHA AHAHAA HAHAHAAHAHAHAH!" Justin's body moved as much as it could to try and wrest his feet from your torturous clutches, but it was no use. His soles are yours to play with as you please, for as long as you wish. And it doesn't take long before you decide to try somewhere else.
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHNONONOHOOOHOHOHOHAHHAHAH HA AHHAH AHAA AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA!" A brown mop of hair flies as Justin's toes are subjected to the light, wiggling torture of your fingertips.
They wiggle and curl, splay and clench, all to no avail - your tickling fingers never once leave the insanely soft and sensitive toes. Up and down each one, in between and along the undersides.
His laughter continues steadily, a loud, lyrical sound that you want to record and play over and over. But why bother, you can play this instrument anytime you want.
Allowing the boy another break, you slide open a panel on the front of the stocks, above Justin's long toes. Inside are ten pegs, with rubber bands attached to each one. Starting from his left big toe, you slowly start pulling the band around it, before snapping it around the digit.
"Ah! W-what are you doing? Stop it, not my toes! W-wh... No y-you can't! NO! Please!" The teen realizes what you're doing by the fourth toe. But you continue all ten times, and simple as can be, you have Justin Bieber's ultra ticklish feet 100% immobile, with his toes secured back and his arches stretched.
You look him in the eye for a moment, grinning as he continues to beg and plead to be let go, up until you press your index finger directly onto the very center of his stretched right arch. Justin's eyes widen and he stops mid sentence, with a quirky little 'Eerp!' sound. He shakes his head side to side, and in response you nod yours up and down. Then drag your finger up and down.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!!" You watch his body buck wildly, trying to escape, then look down at the foot you're scratching so little. It doesn't move a fraction of a millimeter, and no matter how much Justin clearly is straining every muscle in his foot to make it move, it can't.
You hear the laughter double as you start doing the same thing to the other foot, and its amazing. Staring at these two perfect expanses of pure ticklishness, completely at your mercy, unable to do a single movement, forced to remain still as you unleash any types of hell upon them... Almost too much to take in.
"AAAAAAAAAAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AAHHAHA AHAHHAHAHAHAAPALEEEHEEEEHEEASE! AHAHA AHHA AHA HAHHAHAH!" The boy's pleas come few and farther between, as he is far too busy laughing.
Your fingertips trace random patterns and designs all over the stretched, helpless soles, causing peels of laughter to come from the bound pop star. In no rush, you take the time to slowly examine every inch of his bare feet with your fingers, seeing what causes the most laughter.
After about twenty minutes, a red-face boy is allowed a reprieve as you commit to memory the discoveries you made. Clearly his toes were his most ticklish spot, but especially the second toe of each foot, as you scribble up and down it - this caused him to flail and scream uncontrollably. Also to note, when you dragged your fingers in circles around his rosy pink heels, it caused Justin to giggle in the most adorable way.
Once he had recovered, you place your hands on his feet, not tickling, just touching. The teen squeaks and gasps before begging. "N-no! Please no more! I can't take it, please, I'll do anything. J-Just don't..."
Your grin widens. "Anything, Justin? What if I asked you to willingly come back tomorrow and resume this position, letting me tickle you all over again? Would that 'anything' be something you'd do?"
The brown-haired boy gasps and shudders. "B-but that just gets me t-t-tickled again!"
You 'tsk'. "Well then I guess we'll just have to keep tickling you now..."
"No! Wait IIIEEEEEEEEHEHHEHEEHEHEEEEHEEHEEEE HEHEHEEEHEEEHEEEHEEEHEEEEHEEEHEEHEEEHEEEHEEEHEEEEEHEHEEHEEHEHEHEEEE EHEHEHE HEHEEEHEH EHEEHE EHEEEE!! HEEEE! EEEHEEE!" He breaks out into hysterical giggles as you swirl your fingertips around his heels.
One at a time, you add more and more fingers, until all ten are teasing his round heels. As you ramp it up, Justin's giggles increase, until his a writhing, giggling mess under your skilled tickler's fingers.
Of course his giggles turn into full blown laughter as you being raking your nails up and down his arches.
"AAAAAAAHAHAHAA HAHAHAHAAHAHHA AAHAHAHAH SATAHAAP AHAHAHA AHAOOHOHOHO OHOHOHAHHHA AAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH!" His body thrusts and bucks with helpless abandon as the terrible tickling sensations travel up from his most ticklish body parts.
You smirk as your fingers reach his toes, the ensuing shrieks and screams of ticklish torment simply magical.
Fingertips sliding up and down each toe, all at once, you turn back up to the hysterical boy. "So, change your mind yet about coming back tomorrow?" You pay special attention to his second toes, not letting up to allow him to speak. After a full minute, you let up.
"Ok... Okay... Please.. I'll do it... Just no...more..." His head dipped forward in defeat, your heart soars at having broken him this far. Too bad for him this is only the beginning.
"Oh well, not good enough anymore." You tickle his toes for a second more, and he bucks violently, screaming.
"WHAAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! AH! What do you mehean! I said I would, now stop!" Oh how cute, he thinks you'll stop so soon after finally acquiring him.
"I mean that I'll need more from you now, if you want me to stop and let you go, Justin."
"W-what is it you want?" He asks, fearful of your answer.
"I want... You to agree to be my slave. My tickle slave, to be exact - coming here any time I wish so I may tickle you as much as I desire." A wicked gleam fills your eye at the thought.
His eyes widen at the prospect. "N-no! Never!"
You just grin in return.
Grabbing a bottle off the shelf to your left, you open the cap and start smearing baby oil onto Justin's feet. He squeaks and whimpers as you rub it in, increasing the sensitivity of his already-baby-soft soles.
"EheeHEehehehe stahahahap! EhEheeheehEHEEE!" Even the soft rubbing of his feet causes him to start giggling like a schoolboy. It continues until your fingers leave his feet alone for the moment, a blessing, he believes.
Of course, turning on a heating lamp and pointing it towards his soles is truly a curse.
He shifts and shudders as heat buffets his immobile feet. They seem to try and move, but you know just how impossible that is.
Slowly Justin whimpers, then starts really sweating as his feet are heated. The oil starts reacting even more than before, opening even more sensitizing nerves and pores long before you turn the heat away and reposition yourself.
You lean forward slightly, taking in the sight of the teen pop idol, tied helpless with his arms high, chest bared, ankles in stocks and his bare soles bright red from the sensitization you put them through. "Ready to become my slave, Justin?"
"Nuh... Nehver!" He sputters out, still exhausted, the poor boy.
All the better for you, having picked up a hard-bristled hair brush. You drag the ball-tipped prongs all over the reddened left sole.
Justin lets out a loud, shrill shriek for a small moment before falling into silent laughter. His body bucks, wiggles, pulls and squirms all over, not stopping as his one sole is tortured beyond limit.
Continuous brushing of his left foot drives the boy insane, clearly, as he slowly starts tiring from the maddening tickles. His body slows and soon stops moving entirely, having tired completely, leaving Justin Bieber sitting there helpless as you brush his left foot with the hair brush.
Leaving him in that state for a full minute, you abruptly stop. Watching and timing, it takes the singer a grand total of three minutes and forty five seconds to recover from the intense torture. He starts trying to speak, but before more than a panted syllable is uttered, you arm starts scrubbing, this time dragging the brush over the helpless right sole in front of you.
This time, Justin lasts half as long, silently bucking and trying to escape the unbearable torture to his foot. And you take an extra minute after he completely shuts down before stopping. Funnily enough, it only takes him a minute and a half to recover this time.
Undeterred, you return the brush to his left sole, scrubbing madly as the pop star starts writhing uncontrollably once more.
You continue this pattern of scrubbing one foot at a time, reducing Justin to a silent, immobile puddle of ticklishness, awash in a sea of silent laughter, and keeping him there for longer and longer. His recovery time gets longer as time passes, but never too long - the boy is resilient and full of limitless energy it seems.
But his ticklish body is clearly wearing on his mind, as he catches his breath again - he looks into your eyes and they seem to waver in his resolve. "Are you ready yet, to submit to be mine, ticklish Justin?"
The boy takes a moment, swallowing hard. "I... I can't! Puh.. please I'm too too ticklish. J-just let me go now, please, you... You had your fun."
You tsk at him once more, and apply another coat of oil to his red soles.
"EEENEEEEEHEE EPLEEELEEEEEHEEEEEASE! JUHUHUST LET MEEHEHEEGOOHOOHOHOO HHAAHHEHEHHEEHEHEHE EHEHHE HEHE EHEEEE EHEHEHEEEEE!" Poor Justin, he doesn't even move this time, seemingly saving his strength for the true torture soon to come.
"Cuh... Come on, please. I'll do anything, please. I'll give you money, p-private shows, anything you want, just stahaap!" The pop star tries to bargain his way out as he feels the heat once more sensitizing his feet.
But you are not to be dissuaded - after five full minutes, dragging open every last tickle-sensitive nerve in Justin's baby-soft and totally immobile soles, you sit back in front of them.
Once more, your hair brush drives Justin to the edge of ticklish torment as he is forced to sit there and take it. But this time, he end up bucking stronger, harder, and tires far more quickly, because while his entire slick left sole is brushed, you are also brushing a toothbrush up and down each toe on his right foot!
The boy writhed and wriggled madly for a shorter time than usual, before tiring and simply sitting there not moving. His feet being constantly tortured with the most intense tickles of his young life, Justin laughs silently and cannot even bring himself to resist anymore.
And yet your brushing doesn't stop - you slide the toothbrush up and down each toe on his right foot a dozen times before swapping hands and using the hairbrush across that oiled right sole. And the supremely sensitive toes on his left foot fall under the ticklish mercy of the toothbrush.
Time loses all meaning for the both of you at this point. Justin is trapped in a constant flood of ticklish agony, while your entire being is concentrated on tickling the living hell out of the soles you had captured and sensitized beyond imagining.
You slowly put down the brushes once you notice all the oil is gone, absorbed into the skin of the bottoms of Justin's feet over time. Sitting back, you take in the boy, his upper body hanging limply from his wrists, head bent forward.
Giving the tortured star a rest for ten minute, you poke his each of his soles' exact center, once his breathing returns to normal.
"EEHEEYAHH!" He jumps and pulls again - he's back.
You look him in the eye once again and open your mouth, but before you can say a word, he cuts you off. "Yes. I'll... I'll do it, I'll be your tickle slave. J-Just no more. Please. I can't... I'll be your slave but no more tickling right now!"
You smile wide, and drag each index finger lightly around his still-helpless feet. "If you want to be my tickle slave, then beg me, like a proper slave."
"Ehe HEe heHEhHEHehE! Oh hgAahahaaaaaAAD! HEhahah AA! PLeheaheheease! EHehhahea pleahehase mahaake me yohohoour theTHHEHEEETHICKLE SLAAHAVE! HEhehe EHEE PLeeheHEHEEaSE EHEhehE SIR HHEHE MASTER EHEheheehEHEE!" He wriggles lightly, still very weak.
Your fingers continues a light teasing scribbling, "I already have, my Slave."
Justin Bieber continues giggling and laughing for a while longer, with only you and the cameras for company.
About a week later, you hear a knock on the door and look at your watch. Smiling, you notice he's a few minutes early. Opening your front door, you grin widely - shuddering lightly on your doorstep is a blindfolded and barefoot teen pop star. "Good boy. You remembered how I asked you to dress. Do come in Justin."
You close the door behind him, locking it securely - you still have much work to do with your slave, and would very much dislike being disturbed...

hi, i'm new to the group....and have been at a loss with my feelings over my 26 month old son. he has been receiving E.I. for about 5 months now for a language delay. he sees a special ed teacher 2x's a week. we had him evaluated because he was not talking much...(barely at all compared to his peers) so now at 26 months he has prolly almost 20 words..but mostly only myself and his father can understand him. his teacher reassures me that as long as hes saying the same thing consitenly for something, then it's a word for him. for example when he wants to come out of his crib, he says "ow..." his teacher prolly thinks i'm a crazy mom and ask her all the time if I think he's autistic...and she continuously says no, that she does not see him exibiting any autistic behaviors. however, here are some of the things i see him do that really have me concerned:
1- inconsistent eye contact, though has defintely improved
2- loves running, and at times will turn his head to the side with his eyes tilted...it looks sooo odd! and i hate when he does this! i have no clue why! he usually does this with a smile, and when he's playing around. sometimes i swear he does it to piss me off! when he does this, i always stop him, and he's easily redirected.
3-spins in circles to get dizzy, (which i know lots of 2 year olds to that), but sometimes he'll hold up his hands in front of his face while doing it, or he does the wierd eye shifting thing.
these odd behaviors just have my so confused. when i see my son do these things, it just kills me, and i really think that there is something going on with him. then on the other hand, i see him super affectionate, gives hugs/kisses on demand, loves playing with other kids his age, follows directions (well, for the most part!) i don't know why i get so emotional and upset over this...because of cousre whether he is diagnosed with autism or anything else that will never change the way i love him. sometimes my husband doest undertand why i cry and get so upset. maybe it's my own selfishness, i just wnat my son call my "mommy", or tell me that hie loves me, like most of his peers do. it really does break my heart sometimes, especially seeing other children his age and younger doing so much more than him. we have his 6 month review with E.I next month, and is getting a speech eval before then, which i know he will qualify. i know i'm all over the place, but i'm such an emotional mess! we just had our 2nd baby last month, so i'm really sleep deprived! if anyone has any advice/experience anythying...please comment! thank you!
