F. Scott Fitzgerald spent his final years as a failed Hollywood scriptwriter, never having produced the seminal work of American letters on black America's hip-hop aristocracy he'd always dreamed of writing. He did not know that it was already behind him, somewhere back in that vast obscurity, waiting to be optioned. Had he, like producer Andrew Laurenson of Ralph Lipschitzgrown up "summering in the Hamptons" (as G's press release states), perhaps Fitzgerald would have realized how easy it could be to bleed old-sport Gatsby of its death-of-the-American-dream theme and squeeze out a hacky romantic drama instead. The potential existed to unpack some socioeconomic baggage: the (fraught?) relationship between an entrenched black elite and a rap nouveau riche, or even hip-hop's conspicuously label-conscious consumption. Nah, here dudes break out Plexiglas nunchakus when angered. One 'hood-rich-meets-blue-blood-rich scene is employed as comedic throwaway; it's also the film's truest. The rest: treacly orchestral swells for the brooding, oh-so-familiar impresario, Summer G, and no green light but the one mistakenly given to start production.

This review is from: Logitech K750 2.4GHz Wireless Solar Powered Keyboard - Black
Pros: Comfortable
Good key resistance
Amazing battery life
Cons: A little flimsy
I have used two of these for the past 2 years and 2 months, and I will be receiving the third keyboard shortly through Logitech warranty. Reason for it:
1) On the first keyboard I had, the button corresponding with letter M got stuck.
2) On the second keyboard, buttons for "comma, period, semicolon and letter "L" either stuck or barely working.
Other Thoughts: Unlike some reviewers, I never had a problem with a battery life - the keyboard has never been exposed to a sun and throughout the day it stays in a shadow. During evenings, there is a 100W lamp glowing about 6 feet away from the keyboard and during nights I have all lights turned off. So far, the battery level has never gone below 90% for both of the keyboards I used.READ FULL REVIEW

A clear understanding of the respiratory rôle of the diaphragm is necessary to analyze the respiratory movements in the thorax and abdomen. In former years the inspiratory excursion of the diaphragm was grossly exaggerated by estimating the excursion of the lower borders of the lungs as a measure of phrenic movement. These were misleading because the descent of the lung in the pleural sinus to an extent of 6 centimeters may be accomplished by the diaphragm descending or withdrawing from the thoracic wall only a distance of 1 centimeter.
The inspiratory descent of the anterior hepatic border is an exaggeration of phrenic movement because the liver rotates on a transverse axis during inspiration and is not depressed in toto during inspiration. This axis of rotation is marked by the posterior hepatic border or that liver portion which is not covered by peritoneum. This part of the liver

Port extends lease for Port Aransas fish pier
Port Aransas' aging public fishing pier will remain open another two years, which may be more than enough time for city officials to carry out replacement plans.
The Port of Corpus Christi board on Tuesday unanimously approved a lease agreement with the city of Port Aransas for 4.3 acres near the Ferryboat Landing for access, use, maintenance, and repair of the wooden pier.
Mayor Keith McMullin said Port Aransas is in the process of developing plans to replace it with a concrete pier or jetty-type structure.
Port Aransas leased land from the port for the pier.
David Krams, director of engineering services for the port, said the lease has since expired, but the city remains in possession of the premises under holdover provisions in the agreement.
Details of the new agreement, announced Tuesday, were the product of months of negotiations between port and city officials.
Port Commissioner Charles Zahn said refurbishing the pier, one of four in the city, was important to preserving its tourism industry.
"Port Aransas has something for everybody. You can pay to go offshore and pay (a lot of money) to catch billfish or you can ... go out with $1 of dead shrimp and catch redfish trout," Port Aransas City Manager David Parsons said. "For our public, this pier important."
The new lease runs until June 30, 2016. As a condition of the lease, Port Aransas must complete the design and acquire funding to construct a new pier structure.
Port Aransas will pay the Port of Corpus Christi rent of $1,200 a year — or $100 a month — through the life of the lease, the agreement says.

Well, Ash's birthday was fun, to say the least. It involved Dustin driving scary and freaking me out in the car, taking mass amounts of pictures, throwing Ash's boot on the floor of the restaurant (we are so childish), meeting random people and lots more. Dustin and I actually both managed to not drink a lot, which was nice, but I was still majorly dehydrated the next morning. Go figure. I've never been that much of a drinker anyway but it's funny how much alcohol affects me these days. Maybe I'm just getting old? Oh by the way, I totally got carded at the restaurant, which was amazing. I LIKE getting cared. Because I don't that often anymore and that just makes me feel old. I'm only 26! You should definitely still be carding me. So there.
Why was I asleep early? Well my boss, Danielle, had to go to a funeral yesterday and couldn't work. So I ended up going from an 11 to 5:30 shift to an 8 to 5:30 shift. Yikes. And that was drama in itself. We were short staffed because it snowed and our DM (district manager) decided we didn't need one of our people. And then it got crazy busy. I did the deposit and the bank (that's Wells Fargo, I hate them) decided not to see my money order so I had $1 bills flying all over the parking lot. It was busy all day and I made so many $2 mochas I wanted to cry. And I was just cranky in general. Yikes.
ANYWAY! I now have two whole days off which is AWESOME. Because I took some of Danielle's hours yesterday she took my open for tomorrow. Yay to that! I need need NEED to finish my Christmas shopping. One of the gifts I ordered online still has not showed up (ordered it on November 25th) so I don't know about that. I've been dealing with this woman who works for the company and she's not easy to work with. I'll be writing a bad review of them soon. I also STILL do not know what to get my grandma. She's so hard to shop for. Any ideas. And I've got one more small thing left for Dustin.
So that's that! I honestly think I'm just going to be VERY lazy today, sit around reading and watching TV and cuddling with this guy:

Independence National Historical Park's popular public archaeology lab, which recently lost its quarters in a land swap pending between the park and a private museum, has been designated one of nine Preserve America Stewards by the federal government.
The program honors both public and private efforts nationwide that have incorporated volunteers "in preserving the nation's historic places," said Wayne Donaldson, chairman of the federal Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, one of several federal agencies and departments cooperating on Preserve America.
The public archaeology lab, formally known as the Independence Living History Center, has operated out of the old park visitor center at Third and Chestnut Streets for five years.

Sparks, NV – April 26, 2012 – Sierra Nevada Corporation's (SNC) Space Systems has signed several Space Act Agreements (SAA) with NASA's Johnson Space Center dating back to May 2011 to assist in both the technical development of, and operations support for, the Dream Chaser® Space System. SNC has received funding awards from NASA in both rounds of the Commercial Crew Development Program and has chosen to re-invest capital back into the space agency through SAAs with individual Centers, including Houston's Johnson Space Center, to leverage NASA's experience and expertise in human spaceflight.
Johnson Space Center's Engineering and Mission Operations Directorates are currently receiving funding from SNC. These agreements include work in a variety of areas such as thermal protection and the use of the Christopher C. Kraft, Jr. Mission Control Center. Additional SAAs are being developed with several other Directorates within the Center.
"Thanks to the work of those at Johnson Space Center, America was able to put men on the moon and the International Space Station into orbit. As the Dream Chaser® Program develops a vehicle to backfill the capabilities of the Space Shuttle, it will not be without a significant contribution from the experts at Johnson Space Center," explained Mark Sirangelo, Corporate Vice President of SNC's Space Systems.
Several SNC executives will visit the Houston area to participate in the Rotary National Award for Space Achievement (RNASA), where Sirangelo will be the keynote speaker for the prestigious event. "We are investing in Houston. In 2011, SNC opened its Houston office and continues to create dynamic partnerships with the area's diverse aerospace industry, including the expansion of our investment in the Johnson Space Center," said Sirangelo.

In my previous column, I wrote about how we at SCHOOL BUS FLEET had recently come across an abundance of articles covering "good" news related to pupil transportation. Not much later, we were stunned upon hearing of the crash near Cottonwood, Minn., that took the lives of four students on a school bus.
As I'm sure you know, it's very rare for a child to be killed inside a school bus. So when it does happen, it's all the more shocking.
Going over the details of a tragedy like this can be unnerving. But if there can be some positive morsel to be gleaned from such a negative event, it may be that it can provoke critical thinking and teach us something that will help in bolstering safety in the future.
Revisiting Huntsville
The last U.S. school bus accident of this magnitude was the November 2006 crash in Huntsville, Ala., which also took the lives of four students.
In that accident, authorities said that a Toyota Celica driven by a high school student struck the bus, causing it to fl ip over a concrete retaining wall and drop about 30 feet from an overpass.
The bus driver was found critically injured on the overpass. Investigators said he was likely not wearing his seat belt and was ejected through the loading door before the bus plunged.
The Huntsville tragedy sent ripples throughout the industry and led to the development of a pilot program to study lapshoulder belts on buses.
Whether school bus passengers should be belted is the source of much debate, but no one would argue that school bus drivers don't need to buckle up.
The Huntsville crash raises at least a few critical questions: If the bus driver was indeed not wearing his seat belt, how did that affect the outcome of the accident? Could he have kept the bus from veering off of the overpass if he hadn't been thrown out of his seat?
The National Transportation Safety Board has yet to issue a report on the Huntsville crash, but when it does, hopefully it will answer those questions.
What is clear, in any case, is that it's hard for a driver to drive when he isn't in his seat, and a buckled belt is the best way to keep him there. Perhaps some drivers need to be reminded of that.
Spotlight on Cottonwood
The Cottonwood crash is still under investigation, but based on what the authorities have determined so far, it appears that there was nothing that could have been done on the school bus driver's end to prevent the collision.
According to witnesses, a minivan sped through a stop sign and onto a highway, where it struck the bus just in front of the rear wheels. The bus driver, Dennis Devereaux, said he saw the van coming but didn't have time to brake or speed up.
After the accident, Devereaux was praised for his actions at the scene, where he pulled students from the overturned bus and handed them to motorists who stopped to assist.
The minivan driver, Olga Franco, told investigators that she was on her way to work. I don't know whether she was running late, but if she did indeed speed through that stop sign, she was clearly in a hurry.
While I make it a point to come to a complete stop at stop signs, I have been guilty of driving in a hurried mindset. And hurrying can be a catalyst for bad decisions and lapses in judgment.
I'll have that on my mind the next time I drive.

I rode Timberline for the first time in May and had a great time! Im thinking of taking my family there for Thanksgiving.
Can anyone tell me what I can expect? How good should the snow be by then? What about crowds - would it be totally outrageous? Empty?
Thanks for any help.
Thanks for the quick reply!
Ill be keeping my eye on the airfare -- pretty high right now, but we may do it anyway.

Where do you live? I can normally find pretty reasonable airfare to PDX on Southwest Airlines. No frills, but they don't charge you extra for checked bags, including snowboards.
Southwest is definitely the way to go - I live about 2 hours from the Dallas airport, but its always worth the drive. I love SWA! and the bag policy rocks compared to all the other airlines! Easy Easy! Im watching their prices as my family and I decide on the trip.
She holds my attention too! :D

Divestment an Appropriate Response to Israel's Treatment of Palestinians
By Alice Rothchild
May 24th, 2016
Portland is hosting an event [the week of May 9, 2016] that could have a significant impact on the search for Middle East peace. If the United Methodist Church General Conference votes to divest from companies that profit from Israel's occupation, all the mainstream Protestant churches in the U.S. will have taken a principled stand for Palestinian freedom through boycott and divestment, joining the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), the United Church of Christ and others.
On Palestinian Land Day, the Catastrophe Continues
Today is Land Day in Palestine. It's a day when Palestinians mark with protest the continual expropriation of their land. There is a lot to protest since Palestinians have been losing land for 68 years. For Palestinians, the year 1948 is the year of the Nakba (or catastrophe) during which 700,000 Palestinians were expelled from their homes, and land and hundreds of Palestinian villages were destroyed.
1967 marks the year when the state of Israel occupied the West Bank, Gaza, East Jerusalem, the Syrian Golan Heights, and Sinai in Egypt. This year is known to Palestinians as the Naksa (or grief).
Today, Israel continues with relentless plans to annex the Jordan Valley for illegal settlements.
Supporting Water Rights Around the World
March 22nd is International World Water Day and it serves as a reminder that water has not yet become a human right, and that millions continue to be denied access to water or have difficulty obtaining a fresh supply on a daily basis.
10 Lessons and Reflections on Racial Justice and Palestinian Solidarity
By Claire Gilbert
November 12th, 2015
Earlier this fall, the US Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation held its 14th annual conference in the city of Atlanta, Georgia. About 400 people from some 93 member groups dedicated to Palestinian rights, including Grassroots International, gathered there to strategize how best to advance our collective work for freedom, justice and equality. Check out videos and pictures of panels, workshops and performances from the conference.
Here are 10 reflections on the weekend:
Grassroots International Condemns Mounting Violence in Israel/Palestine, Calls for End to US Military Aid
Violence in Palestine and Israel continues to intensify, with mounting casualties. Since October 1, 50 Palestinians have been killed by the Israeli forces and settlers and 8 Israelis have been killed in Palestinian knife attacks. Additionally an Eritrean Asylum seeker was killed after Israeli soldiers mistook him for a Palestinian.
We Stand in Solidarity with Susya
"We stand in solidarity with the people of Susya, who UAWC (Union of Agricultural Work Committees) introduced us to in October 2014. These are people who welcomed us, fed us, gave us a place to sleep and shared their stories with us.
"We gather to bring our voices to the on-going struggle in the face of imminent demolition by the Israeli Military.
Denouncing Demolition & Forcible Displacement of Palestinian Village
Last fall, a delegation of Grassroots International supporters and staff had the privilege of planting and harvesting olives, and spending the night with some of the 350 farming families of Susya in the West Bank.
On Land Day Protestors Hold Their Ground
For several months brave activists and residents have built protest tents outside of the Jerusalem gate in Eizaria. The Israeli military has destroyed their tents 11 times—but each time the determined activists build them again. They are saying no to an Israeli plan remove 2,500 Bedouins shepherds from their land, their homes and their traditional way of life while also displacing fellow Palestinians in Abu Dis and Eizaria. What will Israel do with the land in an area they term "E1" to the North and East of Jerusalem? Expand its largest illegal settlement: Maale Adumin.
Will ICC Investigate Abuses of Israeli Occupation?
Is it possible to hold Israel accountable for its violations of Palestinians' human rights, and thus take steps to end at least some of the worst aspects of the Israeli occupation, through the arena of international law? That's a question that could be answered in the coming years.
On January 16, 2015, the International Criminal Court launched a preliminary investigation into possible war crimes in the occupied Palestinian territories. This is an initial inquiry, after which point the ICC could decide whether or not to take up a full investigation.
10 Photos for International Human Rights Day: A Tribute to International Social Movements for Resource Rights
December 10 is celebrated around the world as International Human Rights Day. On this day, Grassroots International is honored to call special attention to the social movements that are on the frontlines of the struggle for resource rights – the human rights to land and water, as well as food sovereignty and climate justice. We have much to celebrate, with several major successes that social movements have achieved in the struggle for resource rights over recent years. At the same time, over the past year, we have been heartbroken as we've lost many people who have been courageously defending resource in each of Grassroots International's program areas. The photos and stories below are just a small sample of some of these movements and human rights defenders.

I am a FTM and a nurse im on my feet all the time and I deal with pediatrics so im always lifting .When do you think is the best time to stop working . Or when our body just cant handle the job ? And for us that need to work what to do when that happens any advice pleasseee!!!!!!
Working Nurses
I was used to being on my feet since I started working period. I was a waitress for 7 years in high volume restaurants before being a nurse. Just make sure to take care of yourself before everyone else. Your baby is counting on you. And money isn't worth complications.
Im a NICU Nurse so my co-workers are extremely sensitive to pregnancy and wont let me stress my body. plus my patients are teeny tiny, however the walking constantly is already wearing on me. with my first DD I worked adult ICU and I worked up until the day before I had her. I plan to work until the end this time. If I go into labor the L&D unit is on the same floor, I hope to deliver at another hospital for privacy purposes, but I will deliver there if need be, obviosuly.
Me(29)DH(31)DD1-4/2010, DD2-5/2013
I am a Forensic Psychiatric RN... I am planning on going out on leave two weeks before my due date. Thankfully, I have other nurses and techs I work with who help me out and make sure I don't do anything I am not suppose to. If the unit gets too tenuous, I switch with another (willing) RN to a more stable floor. We work as a team to keep eachother safe!
I am an ICU nurse also and totally agree with pp lots of lifting :( .. Last time I worked until a couple of days before I was induced, I was induced at 38w2d
Me (31) DH (31) Married since 5-16-2009
Henry May 2011, Lucas May 2013
Baby Boy #3 Nov 2015 (RCS)
I'm a full time veterinarian and plan on working up until delivery. I don't take radiographs anymore (x-rays) and let the staff do the heavy lifting over 50lbs. No problems yet. I do have IC though, and may need to stop early if my cervix shortens.
I am an ER nurse and work nights. My coworkers are wonderful about helping me out. They tell me to stay out of a room or to sit down. I have to be told LOL I hate just sitting there when I know I can help. There have been a few patients that I have asked others to take such as the patient that had shingles the other night or any patient that comes in with a fever and rash I will ask another to take unless the Dr tells me it's okay to go in. I plan on working till the very end and taking 12 weeks off and going back fulltime. I wish I could go back parttime but right now that is just not possible. With 4 children we (DH & I) both need to work as much as possible.

Wushu Champion Xu Xiang Dong performing one of the best Eagle claw sets I've ever seen! Eagle Claw(Ying Zaho Quan) is a Northern Shaolin style that emphasizes the use of Chin-na (locking) techniques. The hand in the shape of the claw is used to apply pressure to an opponent's joints, veins, and pressure points, thus controlling and immobilizing him. Eagle Claw is ideal for both men and women of any size because great body strength is not required to be effective in a defensive situation. Using various hand strengthening exercises the claw is developed to have a vice-like grip and a burning sensation as if hot coals were being pressed into the opponent. Eagle Claw strength is based on finger power, finger joint power, and wrist power. Without all three the claw is ineffective. A well developed claw can control an opponent without injury, causing damage only when unavoidable. In this way Eagle Claw is a highly moral system that provides very effective self-defense without unnecessary injury to an opponent. At the core of all Eagle Claw techniques are the principles of yin and yang. Punches and palm strikes are executed relaxed, but firm, until the end when the hand and the arm are hardened. This gives the technique a snapping action that adds power without a great need for strength. Movements are fast then slow, yielding then advancing, depending on the need of the situation and the technique to be employed. The student learns to at once be strong as a mountain, and then as yielding as a blade of grass in the wind. The Eagle Claw system includes: 25 fist forms over 25 weapon forms over 25 partner forms and the 108 locking techniques. Forms must be practiced diligently until the movements and techniques are perfected. It's in the forms that the student unlocks the secrets of Eagle Claw. Every step and hand technique in the forms have a self-defense application. Practicing the forms also develops discipline and focus in the student, advantages that become invaluable in everyday life. Three of the forms are considered Master forms and contain the most intricate techniques of the Eagle Claw system. These forms are: Lin Kuen (Connected Fist) Jui Lao Tong (Eagle Claw Drunken Set) Fuk Fu Kuen (Control the Tiger) The Northern Eagle Claw system is ideal for both men and women of various age groups, body types, and athletic ability. Because the system relies upon subtle re-direction of an attacker's own aggressive energy, it can be used effectively regardless of the practitioner's size or strength. The cornerstone of Northern Eagle Claw kung fu is the set of "108 fighting techniques" adapted by General Ngok Fei from a Shaolin monk named Jow Tong. These techniques make effective use of the hand fashioned as a grasping eagle's claw (Ying Jow) to deliver devastating locks and traps (often referred to broadly as "chin na" or grappling techniques). During the time of the Ming Dynasty, a monk named Lai Chin incorporated General Ngok Fei's fighting techniques with elements of the Faan Tzi system. Faan Tzi techniques are based upon swift, open and often acrobatic movements designed to out-maneuver and dominate an opponent. The combination of Ying Jow (eagle claw) with Faan Tzi techniques yielded the system known today as Northern Eagle Claw kung fu (Ying Jow Faan Tzi Pai).

A Space for Faith: The Colonial Meetinghouses of New England
Paul Wainwright
July 26, 2016–September 30, 2016
Reception September 14, 2016 6-8 PM
Paul Wainwright's photographs interprets images of landscapes and historic architecture. Colonial meetinghouses, circa 1700s, were the center of both religious and civic life. Many were built with tax money, and their simple, undecorated architecture reflected the desire of early Puritan settlers to live simple lives apart from the Church of England. Yet these were their "cathedrals," built by hand without adornment. Only a few of them remain in a relatively unchanged state. These structures not only present a fascinating glimpse into our nation's colonial history, but are beautiful as well.
Wainwright's series, A Space for Faith: The Colonial Meetinghouses of New England, is featured in the Griffin Satellite Gallery at Digital Silver Imaging July 26th through September 30th, 2016. An opening reception will take place on September 14, 2016 from 68pm. The reception is free and open to the public.
"I approach meetinghouses in much the same way an artist who works with the human form approaches a model," Wainwright says. "It is not important what the person's name is. Rather, the artist sees in the model a quality that can, when properly posed and lit, yield a piece of art. These meetinghouses are my "models" for making art, and my photographs reflect my emotional response to them–my physical location when I made each photograph is not of primary importance."
Wainwright is a fine art, large format black & white photographer who lives and works in Atkinson, New Hampshire. He specializes in traditional, wet process photography. Even though, Wainwright earned his PhD in physics from Yale University, he is now dedicated to photography fulltime. Wainwright has shown his work in numerous solo and juried shows, including the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Currier Museum of Art in Manchester, New Hampshire, and Panopticon Gallery in Boston. His work is in collections of private and corporate collectors including Peabody Essex Museum, Boston Public Library, and Fidelity Investments.
The exhibit is open to the public Mondays through Fridays, 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

MELROSE PARK, Ill. – IC Bus unveiled its first fully integrated small shuttle bus on Tuesday at an event at Navistar's engine plant here.
The AC Series bus is being offered for such applications as tour and charter operations, hotel and rental car shuttles, paratransit operations, day care and public transportation.
The fully integrated AC Series features a proprietary design that allows for bumper-to-bumper coverage and a single point of contact with only one network. IC Bus officials said that this "one-stop-shop" approach provides everything bus operators need throughout the lifecycle of the bus, including financing, parts, service and warranties.
"Bus operators shouldn't have to settle for less, and that's why we're introducing our first fully integrated small shuttle bus," IC Bus President John McKinney said. "We launched the AC Series because we believe our customers deserve better."
The manufacturer touted the AC Series' durability, saying that it has a lifecycle about twice as long as similar small shuttles in the industry.
The shuttle bus shares a platform with the commercial-grade International TerraStar truck, which was introduced in the spring. The bus features frame rails rated to 80,000 PSI and a full-tilt hood that allows for unobstructed access to the engine compartment.
The AC Series is powered by the 220 horsepower, 6.4-liter MaxxForce 7, which is built with Advanced EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) emissions technology.

hi ladies!! Could any of you whose kids have been diagnosed with apraxia of speech tell me at what age they were diagnosed? Ashton is 2 1/2 and i'm almost sure he has it. he understands everything but i can see the struggle when it comes to pronouncing sounds. he has the b sound perfected and can say the d sound as well as a couple others but he doesnt have many words at all. when he was younger i thought he had more words but theres really not been much progress in his spoken words. like i said he is a champ at following instructions but to call a word i can literally see how hard it is for him to get out the word. and he really does try. We're working on letter sounds now and he's doing pretty ok but as i said is a struggle. i really dont know much about speech apraxia and i'm abit worried that he wont be able to talk. He is good with signing and he babbles up a storm . he is also an excellent communicator and even astranger will know what he wants. but the speech. will it ever come?
Speech Apraxia?
Mommy to 2 amazing kiddos! Ella - cleft lip/palate, VSD repair 7/26/11, hyperlexia, add (10/10/06) and Evan- T21, diagnosed at 10 months (7/8/10)!
This woman is an EXPERT in apraxia and she believes that 30-40% of our kids have apraxia...most of them undiagnosed. SLPs blame the Down syndrome. Traditional speech therapy doesn't work. It MUST incorporate movement!
It is just going to take our kids a LOT longer to talk...and yes it does stink. 😪
Chris - Olivia (3/2009) with T21 & Apraxia & ALL Leukemia survivor.One and done! I'm old and tired!
Nate at 3 could not parrot or immidate any sounds or word approximations or words-- nada! However, he had functional words and phrases. He was speaking theses routine words, just don't ask him to repeat as he was grouping and trying to get them out, but couldn't. As he has gotten older and acquired more spoken language it is more obvious.
Chris is correct, my research also shows that apraxia often goes undiagnosed and Down syndrome will be blamed. It may be Down syndrome, but struggling so hard to acquire spoken language is not universal. Many have no difficult and follow very typical development, but maybe some delay.
Nate at 8 1/2 years old has a huge vocabulary. I worked on giving him words. Articulation isn't the main concern with apraxia, these kids can articulate it us just putting he words and sentences together. We did concentrate on vowels and getting the correct vowels in words. If you have the correct vowel intelligibly increases, in time developmental the consonant sounds fall in place.
Wife to Eric (my BFF), Momma to Amira (10/13/99 super tween) Zoë & Kayla (6/14/01 TTTS survivors) & Dax (8/29/10 T21 -the icing on the cake)
Ty was just diagnosed at almost 3. However, he DOES talk...like constantly! I had always read on here that kids with apraxia "don't talk", and that's definitely not always the case. There are programs and tools that can help overcome apraxia symptoms, when kids are ready for them! Ty has lots of spontaneous spoken words, and uses two word phrases occasionally...maybe a couple of times a day. He's using "w" questions, like "Where is ____?" "What is ____?", and can say all the letters of the alphabet and their sounds. HOWEVER, his biggest "symptom" of apraxia is inconsistency in imitation. In unstructured settings he is a complete parrot...he will attempt to say pretty much any word he hears, and a lot of times they are clear. However, in structured sessions, like in ST, when she is asking him directly to say ____, his imitation is spotty. One week he'll say something perfectly over and over, and the next week he can't even begin to make the necessary sounds on command. Also, his placement in words of specific consonants and vowels is inconsistent, particularly in that direct imitation setting. For example, he has lots of words that start with "d", but starting a word with a "d" sound on command is incredibly challenging for him. This is how apraxia has been an obstacle for him, because its difficult to make progress in ST when you're not consistently imitating new things in a session! His ST began to see signs when she started with him at 20 months, and began the Kaufman Praxis Program with him as soon as he was able to start repeating sounds. That program (designed for kids with apraxia), paired with touch cues (he's highly visual) has helped him progress tremendously. When he started with her he had 3 consonant sounds and all "lazy" vowels. In one year he mainly communicates through speech, and is understood by our family, and occasionally strangers. It's amazing. However, he would never had made this progress without his ST who recognized his weaknesses, and was consistent in her approach with these programs.
Oftentimes, apraxia is not diagnosed until kids are making more sounds, and the motor planning challenges are more apparent. Obviously this is not the case all the time, because plenty of kids are diagnosed without any speech at all, but that was our experience. Apraxia does not mean they can not or will not speak, so don't let that get you discouraged! That was my biggest hurdle to overcome in accepting this. I would definitely recommend a good ST to get you pointed in the right direction if you're concerned!
Check out Libby Kumin's books, Early Communication Skills for Children with Down Syndrome and the subsequent one, Helping Children with DS communicate Better. Dr. Kumin is an expert on DS, communication and is amazing to read about and listen to if you ever get the chance to hear her at a conference. At age 5, she said my daughter had too many "splinter skills" to diagnose and to focus on a few issues. By age 8 she got hearing aids and her language exploded! I never thought I'd hear her speak as well as she is now. Even strangers are understanding her!
Make sure to keep pushing for good therapies because they all influence each other's progress.
Just to add this book is also FANTASTIC!!
Chris - Olivia (3/2009) with T21 & Apraxia & ALL Leukemia survivor.One and done! I'm old and tired!
I'm just going back and reading everyone's comments now. Sherry, you've described Nate's speech development in posts where I've asked about apraxia in the past, and as Ty grows up I feel like he fits Nate's description more and more closely! Thank you for sharing your experiences with him...it's always encouraging to hear!!
Chris, those are awesome resources, thank you!! I have also heard how underdiagnosed verbal apraxia is in our kids, because it's often written off as "Ds". Even at the DSEI conference, in the speech session Sue Buckley listed all of the common challenges kids with Ds face in speech. Coincidentally they are almost all signs of apraxia as well. I thought it was really interesting, though there is so little research out there on the correlation between Ds and verbal apraxia. Thanks for sharing your info!!
So, a question ... Evan is *just* starting to imitate sounds. Some sounds. When he feels like it. I usually have to work them into some sort of movement song, ie "If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands, stomp your feet, pat your head, say Mom!" I trick him :) But, other times - most times - I ask him to say something and he just shakes his head no and laughs at me! Apraxia or a stubborn little stinker???
Mommy to 2 amazing kiddos! Ella - cleft lip/palate, VSD repair 7/26/11, hyperlexia, add (10/10/06) and Evan- T21, diagnosed at 10 months (7/8/10)!

Cleantech Investor is organising Cleantech-as-a-Service, a morning event, on 7 October 2015
This morning event, hosted by our sponsors, Smith & Williamson, will focus on Cleantech-as-a-Service. The morning, which will commence with a networking breakfast, will be divided into two sessions:
1. ESCOs and Beyond: This session will kick off with an Introduction to ESCOs (energy service companies) by Peter Hobson of SDCL (a fund which manages energy effiiency portfolios on behalf of clients including the Green Investment Bank). Peter will provide some background on the emergence of ESCO models and a vision on future financing models for energy efficiency and renewables.
This will be followed by pitches from companies raising funds for ESCO and related business models focused on the deployment (specifically the financing of) renewable energy and energy efficiency - and a panel discussion on the innovative business models emerging in this space. In addition to SDCL, speakers will represent start up companies including ESP (the Energy Saving People) / Inesco, SESCO and Clean Energy Prospector.
2. Cleantech meets Software: The second session will focus on software companies with solutions for environmental and cleantech related challenges, including software for the measurement / reporting of carbon emissions and other pollutants. Speakers will represent companies including Turnkey Group (sustainability measurement Software-as-a-Service), TravelAI (smart transport through the use of mobile phones) and Apana (water management for commercial and industrial clients)
Presenting companies will include:
Cleantech has matured from the early days when investors regarded wind generators, solar panels, biomass boilers or LED lighting as disruptive technologies. These days, investors in the sector are more likely to focus on service-oriented businesses deploying such technologies, at least those versions which are now tried-and-tested, than companies in the business of technology innovation. However, cleantech can still be considered to be disruptive: The business models of some of these service businesses are potentially game changers, with implications for the energy sector and broader industry.Read more...
2011: A Review of Cleantech Equity Deals - Lighting
Published in: 2011 - A Review of Cleantech Equity Deals, January 2012
Merger and acquisition activity in the LED space during 2011 included the purchase of Ruud by Cree. An interesting feature was the M&A activity by a VC-backed company, Ireland's Nualight, which targets the niche market for LEDs in supermarkets. Nualight, already something of a success story in the LED space, acquired Lumoluce with funding supplied by its own VC backers.
Elsewhere, VC attention remained on niche LED applications during the year. Bridgelux continued to raise funds, as did Lunera Lighting. And GE focused on the LED space, participating in a fundraising for LED cooling specialist Nuventix, as part of the EcoImagination investment.

Lighting the way to greener retail

Denis Gross of Cleantech magazine was the guest of Nualight, the Irish LED company, and Enterprise Ireland on a tour of cleantech companies in Ireland.
Behind the headline news of property and banking woes from Ireland, there are signs of a strong performance in technological innovation and export.
Exports account for 80% of GDP, and are still growing robustly in value (7% in 2010 for indigenous companies) despite the tough economy.
New kinds of LED lighting technology are invading retail stores with a dual purpose: saving energy and luring shoppers. And as old-style incandescent bulbs are being phased out by the US government, the race for a replacement is on between LEDs and compact fluorescents.
LED and OLED Technology - transforming design
First published in Cleantech magazine, July/August 2010. Copyright Cleantech Investor Ltd
OSRAM chose London's Design Museum as the venue for a presentation on the future of solid state lighting technology. Meanwhile, OSRAM LEDs were lighting up the World Cup games in South Africa.
By Anne McIvor
Solar light emitting diode (LED) producer, D Light Design, was a winner at the Ashden Awards for Sustainable Energy for 2010. While D Light Design is providing light for villagers in remote parts of Africa, LED technology was also behind much of the lighting for the FIFA World Cup 2010 in South Africa.
OSRAM developed 'LED Beams', in conjunction with local manufacturer BEKA, to light the 'Durban Arc' spanning the Durban stadium. The company's 'Golden Dragon Plus' LEDs – 12,000 in total – combine to form the 350 metre Durban Arc, an icon for the potential for LED lighting technology.

VB Research has tracked a host of venture capital fund raising deals for companies with technology in the energy management, smart metering and other 'green building' spaces over the past year or more. These deals are summarised in the following tables.
In the VB Research deal list, we noticed a trend for deals in the overlapping spaces of energy efficiency and home security – typical of the growing trend for cleantech solutions to be incorporated into broader industrial solutions. Sunnyvale, California, based 4Home is a case in point. 4Home raised US$1.3 million in early stage funding in 2009, according to VB Research. The company provides 'home control' services, which incorporate various functions including energy management as well as home security and monitoring. 4Home's software platform includes the ControlPoint,™ Portal Server, and SDK software products.

Must have for Boat!
October 6, 2014
I just bought my third Yeti. It is such a worth wild investment. I just upgraded my boat with a yeti 35qt and a 50gt with the stainless strap down set. The price of the strap set retail is so incredibly reasonable. It is high quality straps and metal. I use them in the front and back of my 17' center console. It fits perfect. I ripped out my old bench seat and installed a 50qt. The 35qt went in the front. When I need more room I just remove the stainless steel straps and i can take the coolers off. It's AWESOME! I have such easy access to my console battery and oil tank now. The metal cleat for the straps are so flat, I don't trip or stub my toes at all when the coolers are installed and even when I take the coolers off the boat. The straps stay within the handel cavity and don't stick out. I have so much more room in my boat. The shape of the cooler makes a big difference for deck space. They are nice and tall for extra inside space and are very comfortable to use as a seat. I am 180lbs, 6'2". I can stand up and get a better view and use the coolers as casting platforms. I'll never have to replace these coolers for the rest of my life and could probably pass them down to my son.

I feel Dr Pharr is of the upmost professional and knowledgeable about MS have every confidence in her and would recommend her to anyone with MS
Always a pleasant experience. *Dr. Pharr is very nice.
She is easy to talk to.
*Dr. Pharr - is a caring, kind, patient physician!
*Dr. Pharr and resident *Ethan were both knowledgeable, factual, courteous and spent a great amount of time w/me.

Dr. Pharr was very thorough in during my office visit and provided very clear directives on next steps. She continues to be very supportive and helpful in helping me work through my health concerns.
Dr. Pharr is an excellent neurologist for MS patients. She really took time to understand my whole course of MS, since i had been treated by another neurologist for 10+ years. Many physicians would have likely just picked up with current symptoms and treatment. Very comprehensive in her review of clinical information and my health history.
*Dr. Pharr is wonderful!
Dr. Pharr is an excellent physician. She always takes her time to explain things and answer questions. I appreciate her consideration and that I don't have to feel rushed or that I'm inconveniencing her.
I switched from dr. Abu-Zaid to Dr. Pharr and I have to say I could not have given the same answers about my previous provider. I was very pleased with my entire appointment with Dr. Pharr.
Resident spent more time witgph me than Dr. Pharr
*Dr. Pharr was very compassionate and understanding about my health issues. She genuinely cared.
