Welp - Ben goes back to the neurologist tomorrow for a 6 month follow-up. I'm a nervous wreck - I've dreaded this appt. for months. We will probably get the official Autism diagnosis, which is never fun, but on the other hand, we already know he has it, and it won't change our current course. We did do the bloodwork for metabolic disorders, fragile x, and other "mimicers" of autism, but I suspect all of that is normal (which would be a good thing), will know for sure tomorrow. I am also suspicious that Ben does have a certain degree of mental retardation in addition to Autism..so, I will be asking about that. His latest tests that the EI people have done have him pegged at around 19 months cognition (gasp) and the scores for other categories lingers at or below that. It's all so overwhelming when I think too hard about it. On the flip side, Ben is making HUGE gains, and remains the most perfect little boy in our eyes. We wouldn't change a darn thing about him.
I will keep you posted as to how our appt. goes -- wish us luck!

Fri 25 Jul
Playground is the UK premier of the play by New York based video and performance artist Ann Hirsch. Drawing on the artist's own experiences as one of the first generations to really grow up online, the 'coming-of-age' story considers the construction of gender and sexuality as lived out through AOL chat rooms in the late 1990s.
Sat 26 Jul
A panel discussion between artists Ann Hirsch and Jenna Sutela and Giulia Smith. Accompanied by the UK premier of New Degrees of Freedom, which is a living media project by the Helsinki-based writer and artist Jenna Sutela, with graphic designer Johanna Lundberg and collaborators. Sutela proposes that the body cannot be emancipated online and instead attempts to take up desires of the early internet, this time offline.
The project's title (The Posthuman Era Became A Girl) is taken from a text by Elvia Wilk, and is organised by curators Rózsa Farkas and Helen Kaplinsky, with the South London Gallery, Arcadia Missa, Goldsmiths CCS, and Rhizome. Thanks also for support for Playground from Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, and for New Degrees of Freedom from Svenska Kulturfonden and Frame Visual Art Finland.

Ann Hirsch (b.1984) is a video and performance artist who looks at the ways technology has influenced popular culture and gender. Her research has included becoming a YouTube camwhore, amassing over two million views on her videos, as well as making appearances on some popular reality television shows including as a romantic contestant on Vh1's Frank the Entertainer...In a Basement Affair. She was awarded a 2012–13 Rhizome commission for her two person play Playground, which debuted at the New Museum to a sold out crowd. Her companion ebook, Twelve was censored from the iTunes store but is now available through Klaus von Nichtssagend Gallery. She has been an artist in residence at Yaddo, Atlantic Center for the Arts and the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council. Her work has been written about for The New York Times, and more. Ann currently resides in Brooklyn.
Jenna Sutela (b.1983, Finland) works with words and structures in the fields of design, art and media. Her written, performed and curatorial projects seek to identify and react to precarious social and material moments – most recently, the relationship between the body and its technologically-mediated environment. Sutela's work has been presented, among other places, at Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma in Helsinki and as part of New Museum's events in New York. She is a contributor to several international publications, including frieze magazine and the Solution book series by Sternberg Press, and has a background in media studies. New Degrees of Freedom is a collaborative production with Johanna Lundberg (b.1982, Finland). She is a graphic designer specialized in digital environments and publications. Last year, Sutela and Lundberg collaborated on ADD METAPHYSICS, a project about digital materialities at Aalto University's School of Arts, Design and Architecture.
Giulia Smith is an art historian and writer. Smith is currently researching her PhD in the History of Art Department, UCL, where she works as a teaching assistant on modern and contemporary art. Smith's doctoral research focuses on the representation of the social body in fifties art and architecture across Europe. Recently she has co-organised BOOM! Growth, Form and Sustainable Bodies, 1946-1967 (conference, UCL) in conjunction with the Richard Hamilton Retrospective at Tate Modern (2014), and Re-Materialising Feminism (conference, installation and publication, ICA and Showroom). Her writing has appeared on This is Tomorrow, Frieze Magazine and Art Monthly. Formerly Smith worked at the Drawing Centre and the Guggenheim Museum, New York.

Aug 25, 2013 - By Eric Blom Staff WriterNew reporting requirements for applications to a federal grant program have made more than a dozen local agencies unable to apply this fiscal year though they have received funds in the past.
"It's going to impact low-income families a lot because a lot of agencies cannot meet those reporting criteria," said Fremont County Sheriff Skip Hornecker, who sits on the local board in charge of the Community Services Block Grants program.
The Fremont County Association of Governments is responsible for distributing the program's funds. This year, 14 of the 21 agencies that received funds through FCAG last year did not apply because they would not qualify for funding.
"What really impacted the agencies, they had to provide proof of identity, (such as) driver's licenses or government ID, proof of all household members, (including) first names and birth dates and social security numbers, proof of residence and proof of income," said FCAG executive director Pam Canham. "So much of what our agencies do is confidential, requiring them to provide social security numbers really did them in."
Less money available
Further changes to the CSBG program have made less funding available to Fremont County organizations for the upcoming federal fiscal year.
In the past, the CSBG program had two pots of money for which agencies could apply, Canham said. Under the first, roughly $269,000 was earmarked for Fremont County organizations in the last funding cycle. Local groups also could apply through a competitive process with organizations statewide for an additional $98,000 in funding.
In the upcoming year, the two sources of funding were combined, Canham said, and only $277,000 is available for Fremont County.
New requirements
New strings attached to the federal dollars caused issues for other organizations.
A new rule requires that the income of CSGB aid recipients be less than 125 percent of a poverty income guideline, Canham said. That stipulation can be a stumbling block, especially for women's shelters.
Women seeking help may have household incomes above the CSBG limit, but often their abusive partners control their finances, Canham said. In those situations, the women do not have money to help themselves and cannot qualify for assistance through CSBG-funded programs.
If a shelter has many women who do not meet the requirements, it also would qualify for less CSBG money.
Wind River Transportation Authority also will not be able to apply for CSBG funding because of the reporting requirements. Last year it received $37,000 through the program.
WRTA bookkeeper Jake Paslar said the bus company would have to collect information about all of its riders, including social security numbers.
"It was too intrusive," he said.
As a result, the company decided not to apply for CSBG funding.
WRTA will look at making budget cuts or finding a new source of revenue, Paslar said.
School resource officer
Similarly, for the past three years a CSBG grant paid for half of the salary, or about $26,000, of a Fremont County Sheriff's Office deputy who was a school resource officer in Fremont County School District 2 in Dubois.
To qualify for funds in the upcoming fiscal year, the sheriff's deputy would have to provide personal information, such as social security numbers, about the students the deputy serves and others in their households, Sheriff Skip Hornecker said.
"I cannot meet the reporting criteria," he said. "It's not legal to attempt to gain this information through the school network."
A school resource officer is crucial for the safety of the schools and helps the sheriff's office establish a rapport with young people, Hornecker said. He will look for other grants to make up the funding shortfall.

There's little new in this approach, particularly the massacre of captives and the method of beheading for the purposes of terrorisation.

And there are worse examples still.

Atopic dermatitis (AD), often called eczema (pronounced "EK-zema") or atopic eczema is a very common skin disease. It affects between 8.7% to 18.1% of all infants and children. The exact cause is not known, but AD results from a combination of family heredity and a variety of conditions in everyday life that triggers the red, itchy rash.

st: create local macros named after the values of a categorial variable
Thu, 12 Aug 2010 15:23:03 +0200
Hi Statalist,
while working on a programming problem a came in need
of creating a set of local macros that are
i) named after the values of a categorial variable,
e.g. city codes
ii) contain the integer values from 1 to N, where N is
the number of distinct city codes
I worked out to alternatives that do the job, but would
very much appreciate to get any feedback telling me if
there exists some third alternative that is faster
(in terms of computing time).
Here is an example of what I do:
-------------begin example-----------------------------
set obs 3
local varname = "city_code"
gen `varname' = _n
expand = 4
list, abbreviate(9)
* Alternative 1 (sort and keep)
display "Start alternative 1"
sort `varname'
by `varname': gen byte index = _n
keep if index == 1
quietly count
forvalues i = 1/`r(N)' {
local macro_name = `varname'[`i']
local `macro_name' = `i'
display "For City Code " `varname'[`i'] " the" ///
" value of the local macro is ``macro_name''"
display "end"
* end
* Alternative 2 (levelsof)
display "Start alternative 2"
levelsof `varname'
tokenize `r(levels)'
* Now we got one local macro for each of the
* city_codes, named 1, 2, ... , N.
* But we want to exchange the names
* of the macros by their values (the city_codes)
* and vice versa.
* get the number of different city_codes
local N_citys = 1
while "``N_citys''" != "" {
local ++N_citys
local --N_citys
dis "{text}Number of distinct codes: {result}`N_citys'"
forvalues i = 1/`N_citys'{
local new_mac_name = ``i''
local `new_mac_name' = `i'
local `i' //delete the macros we no longer need
display "For City Code " `new_mac_name' " the" ///
" value of the local macro is {result}``new_mac_name''"
display "end"
* end
---------------end example-----------------------------
The datasets for which this is needed are quite big: 30 million observations
each year and I got datasets for 24 years.
The number of macros to be created amounts to approx. 330, i.e. 330 different
city codes. But this number is not constant in each year.
So far alternative 1 (sort and keep) needs about 6 minutes to run and is
outperformed by alternative 2 (levelsof) which need about 1 minutes.

* Canadian dollar at C$1.1607 or 86.15 U.S. cents * Bond prices higher across the maturity curve (Adds details, quotes, updates prices) By Leah Schnurr OTTAWA, Dec 30 (Reuters) - The Canadian dollar firmed against the greenback on Tuesday but the relief paled in comparison to the more than 8 percent loss the loonie has seen in 2014, putting it on track for its worst year since 2008. With just one more trading day left for the year, the Canadian dollar was expected to stick to a tight range in subdued holiday volume. Jitters over the future of Greece's bailout program as the country heads to an early election next month sapped investors' appetite for risk, sending the U.S. dollar lower to the benefit of the loonie. "Overall, the loonie is following the broader trend in the U.S. dollar," said Martin Schwerdtfeger, FX strategist at TD Securities in Toronto. "Even if the broader view is that the U.S. dollar-Canadian dollar should be going higher, at this point nobody is willing to extend U.S. dollar longs." The Canadian dollar ended the North American session at C$1.1607 to the greenback, or 86.15 U.S. cents, modestly stronger than Monday's close of C$1.1629, or 85.99 U.S. cents. Still, the Canadian dollar is down 8.5 percent this year, on pace for its worst performance in six years, when markets were gripped by the global credit crisis. Analysts expect the Canadian dollar will continue to lose ground in 2015, with the United States expected to lift interest rates before the Bank of Canada does. The weak price of oil, which is a major export for Canada, is also seen weighing on the currency. While the balance of risks suggest the Canadian dollar could work its way toward C$1.18 or C$1.20, a stabilization in oil prices would likewise stabilize the currency, said Amo Sahota, director at Klarity FX in San Francisco. "If oil prices actually stabilize, then I think U.S. dollar-Canadian dollar could have fairly quiet period for the first quarter of next year," Sahota said. "By quiet, I mean we could see it go back down toward C$1.12 and that really doesn't do much in the big scheme of how U.S. dollar-Canadian dollar has traded over the past 12 to 18 months." Canadian government bond prices were higher across the maturity curve, with the two-year up 3 Canadian cents to yield 1.018 percent and the benchmark 10-year up 16 Canadian cents to yield 1.815 percent.

AIBN Building
|The AIBN Building.
The $75 million AIBN is a triumph in research institute architecture.
As part of the joint UQ, Queensland Government and The Atlantic Philanthropies-funded project, Jackson/S2F Architectural Joint Venture has created a six-level facility which blends effortlessly into its eucalypt and rainforest surrounds and is safeguarded from the energy-sapping effects of the sun.
After just over two years of construction, the building features a gross floor area of 15,689 square metres.
The architects have created a building that brings together key University research groups from the biological, chemical and physical sciences.
In fact, the AIBN, connected to the neighbouring Molecular Biosciences Building by a walkway, will house up to 365 staff and research students, including many returning to Australia from overseas, as well as those attracted from local and interstate institutions.
To combat the effects of Brisbane's subtropical climate, sun-shading devices consisting of metallic fins have been installed on windows on the southern side, with devices consisting of a finer filagree screen of perforated metal slats on the northern and eastern sides.
The complex will consist mainly of research laboratories – 16 in total – with the three largest measuring 278, 281 and 303 square metres in area.
Specialist facilities in the AIBN include:
- Cell and tissue culture facilities;
- Nanoparticle production and analysis capabilities;
- Polymer Synthesis and Characterisation;
- Microanalysis; and
- Ultra-High Performance Flow Cytometry.
In addition, AIBN is also comprised of facilities critical to its research endeavours such as the Centre for Microscopy and Microanalysis and the Centre for Computational Molecular Science.
The building also features:
- Reticulation systems for essential scientific gases such as natural gas, nitrogen and carbon dioxide, as well as vacuum and compressed air to outlets throughout the facility
- 58 fume cupboards ensuring a safe working environment
- A back-up electrical generator designed to maintain AIBN's critical samples during power outages
- A human-made, rock-lined water course and
- Bicycle racks and associated changing facilities.

Thank you! Too bad I don't have a waffle maker I wouldn't mind trying sweet potato this way. I've just got mini-muffin cups, so I would like to try the bites. I have a feeling they will be super-awesome party food. I have an electric slicer, i bet it would love grating potato. Did you drain the juice like with latkes?
No announcement yet.
EAT MOAR TATERS! Huh?

When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.
Originally posted by primal_jessjane View PostMom, I've just always read that eating breakfast first thing in the morning and avoiding fasting will help heal adrenal/thyroid issues so your adrenal glands don't have to work overtime to provide brain glucose via gluconeogenesis. Also, supposedly, helps boost your temps by eating something right off the bat. This is what I've been reading on Whole 180 Health Source ? Or whatever that site is. ;-) I suuuspect I have adrenal/thyroid issues based on a lot of factors (getting a thermometer this weekend,) so I've been introducing more carbs, up to 100-150g net carbs a day. I feel SO much better already, my appetite is more controlled, I don't feel as spacey, and I get super pumped for my workouts again. Granted, I've been doing low-carb for a WHILE now, so it isn't the "low-carb flu". After eating just all potatoes for one day, I felt loads better. Since then, I've been doing lower fat (50-60g) and moderate carb/protein this week... A lot of tuna and eggs, sweet potatoes, brown bananas, yummy kefir, squash, carrots. I think it's totally possible for people to lose fat on a "higher" carb version of the paleo diet, given their activity levels/hormones.
Fascinating how much your temperatures can dictate how much weight you hold on to. I had no idea!
After finding MDA I started reading alot about IFing and was curious but did some research. Some things I came upon are http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/thread27894.html and ["]URL="http://www.thefeelgoodlifestyle.com/fasting-for-fast-weight-loss-superior-fitness-and-better-health.html"]which I was very intrigued by. I thought it was worth a try since my adrenals and thyroid were doing better. I have been doing the 5 day IFing for about 3 months now and my adrenals are about the same. I just had my thyroid checked and it's still normal.
I am really good at understanding when they are acting up. Signs of my adrenals are temp fluctuations, pupils not dialating properly or at appropriate times, blood pressure drops when I stand up, waking with racing heart for no reason, and anxiety attacks. First thing I do is look at my stress levels. Try to remove any that are easily removed. Cafeine usually is the first to go. I love it though so I find myself drinking decaf then reverting back to cafeine almost without thinking about it. Usually just getting rid of the coffee helps alot. Yoga is next. As long as I do yoga (which I can't always afford) then I usually start feeling better. Adrenals are VERY sensitive to hard exercise (I used to be a chronic cardio girl which probably contributed to thier downfall). So I don't do crossfit or kickboxing or even running as this stresses my body out more than anything else can.
For my thyroid it's mostly supplements and eating right. Gluten was the culprit for my thyroid issues. But I still have occasional rises or falls in T3 and t4 if I don't get enough iodine, selenium, magnesium, D3, vit c, and sodium. So I supplement all of them just to make sure I am taken care of in that department. Even while fasting or doing the potato feast.

Mom - interesting! I still get a racing heart at times, poor recovery from workouts, or get irritable/emotional if I go 6+ hours without eating. I'm experimenting with my exercise, and am sad to hear you say that exercise really triggered your system. I love weight lifting but can really push myself to the brink and then it takes me days to recover. Over this past summer I was a beast in the gym; I'd think about it all the time! I made some killer gains but by this fall, I feel like it all BLEW UP in my face and now my recovery is in the toliet, I put on a little pooch in my belly, and I can't lift anything near what I was. Can you tell pretty immedietely if your exercise has jacked your system up?
I've been participating in yoga for the past 2 months and I agree, really great stuff! Actually invaluable to me at this point. Mine was only 40$/month the first month for unlimited classes (tons of different types offered 7x/week) and then now I pay 99$/month. I'm learning so many techniques I want to use on my clients/patients in the future! So, I take it as an educational thing as well. ;-)On a mission to help others master movement, build unbreakable strength, & eat MORE food (can't beat that.)

I soooo wanted this to work for me as well as it seems to be for most everyone else. After reading through the entire thread, I went with cold, peeled potatos with vinegar and salt. I had ~1.5 pounds per day. I lasted two days...gained 2 pounds, was starving the entire time, and my face broke out I know it wasn't weight gain from the sodium-I always add tons of salt to everything, so it was definitely no more than usual. I get that everyone is different, but I don't understand how some people are dropping 1-2 pounds a day, and I gain weight?
Originally posted by chloe59 View Postbut I don't understand how some people are dropping 1-2 pounds a day, and I gain weight?
He talks about carb refeeds for weight loss for the purpose of restoring leptin levels in the dieter. Anything starchy 250 - 300g worth. Talks about a day, or 2-3 days, or some experts say a week long refeed. He says:
You'll probably get that bloated, water-weight feeling the following day, especially if your diet is relatively low-carb, but that will go away after a day or so. Leptin will rise (independent of fat storage), glycogen will replenish, and your appetite will normalize.
65lbs gone and counting!!
Fat 2 Fit - One Woman's Journey
Well there seems to be quite a few it is working for, so I'm officially starting today...
Going for 5 days, ie today and to the end of October. I actually started munching on some yummy baked potatoes last night, for reasons.
Got 4 different varieties of spud, just to see which I prefer. They all look about the same once baked though..?
For breakfast had oven-baked wedges with some spicy Thai powdery stuff sprinkled on. Delicious but still hungry, so just dived into a pre-baked Russet, with "potato seasoning" on it.
Starting stats:
Weight 85 kg (187 lbs)
Belly (main problem area!) 102 cm / 40 in
Skinfold at hip 18 mm
Biggly Body Index (BBI) 66.5% (Bodybuilding Software, Diet Software Biggly Workout Routines, Forum)
I don't expect my height to change over the next 5 days but I'm 5'9" and a bit. As mentioned on another thread I have very sore elbows at present, so not really working out much at all. I'll be resting my arms for these 5 days.
Should also add that I just finished my 21 day primal challenge today. Result - lost about 0.9 kg but will be eating healthier and exercising more over the long term.
Much of my excess weight came from giving up smoking for my 45th birthday last year, went from 84 to 90 kg (198 lb). I ignored it and figured my health was more important than a number on the scale - but then it showed 90.4 kg (199 lb) and I decided "No, I'm not going over 200 lb!"
Have managed to claw my way back to about the same weight as when I stopped smoking - now it's time to tackle that belly!
Should also add that I used to be into mild bodybuilding, very low-carb eating, weights and lots of HIIT. Back then I reached 9% body fat at 79 kg. That was about 15 years ago but it feels more like 50 years ago!
Just going low-carb and a bit of working out here and there isn't working this time, my belly is sitting there defying me still. Have tried skipping breakfast, no change (and kept giving in to brekkie anyway, so not a practical long-term solution for me).
So yeah, 5 days of po-tatties. Nuffin else.
Bite me.
PS: for anyone struggling with smoking, best advice ever - just STOP. No patches or anything, never, ever, take another puff. It's the only thing that's ever worked for me; within a week you start losing desire for em, by the end of 3 months you couldn't pay me to smoke one puff.
Well I'm gonna give this a go, I've been stuck not really losing much for a while and lacking motivation to avoid the odd treat as it seems to make no difference, I still bounce up and down a few pounds every week - I think that's what's called a plateau But a week away has bumped me up to nearer 16 stone that I would like and even teatering over. So I need to shake things up.
I'd like to get below 15st 7lbs (that's 15 and a half stone for those not familar with the UK way of weiging ourselves) (217 lbs) and I'm 15st 11lbs (221lbs) as of this morning, down from 15st 13 (223lbs) yesterday, where I fasted for just over 24hrs and then ate a small plate of new potatoes with some sea salt.
One disclaimer though - I aint giving up my morning coffee with cream, this is essential to normal functioning, but I am limiting myself to one cup with cream, the rest of my coffee will be black.

Rob, that sounds tempting but wouldn't have been enough to stop me smoking
Can't report on weight or anything, far too early and still on my first day. I CAN however say that I've been surprised at how little potatoes have done to curb my appetite...
Had wedges for breakfast, then a single large spud later, now at around 5.40pm local time, starving!
So this time decided to deliberately create a dish that's a bit bigger than I might normally want - 4 medium size spuds, boiled for 35 mins (I forgot the time!) with sea salt, "potato seasoning" and what seemed like a generous dollop of balsamic vinegar. Having said that, the vinegar was instantly absorbed in a small area.
Now, finally, I'm struggling to finish this bowl (yep, typing and eating spuds at the same time).
Wedges and stuff I had no problem with and was wondering if I'd end up over-eating taters - but boiled taters are hard work to eat!
I went from "Damn, these tatties don't really fill me up.." to "Damn, I'm stuffed already?" with just a few mouthfuls of BOILED potatoes.
Maybe it's just accumulating during the day but it does seem there's something about boiled spuds that just murders your appetite?
Extra water weight?
I'd guess there is far more water in boiled spuds than in anything roasted, baked or fried, but just plain boiled spuds is like eating cotton wool, you just chew and chew and chew this floury mass in your mouth. I thinks it's a sensory thing coz they are just soooooo plain.
I've had a jacket spud in the oven this morning, put smoked paprika, mixed herbs, salt and tomato purre on it, quite nice and quite filling, and the skin was lovely and crunchyYou know all those pictures of Adam and Eve where they have belly button? Think about it..................... take as long as you need........................
Day 3 no change in weight, but I feel somewhat er um backed up with tater fiber, so maybe that's the reason. I have some baked potatoes in the oven and plan to continue till at least Monday and possibly Wednesday.
Peruvian taters
Speaking of various ways to get potatoes down, a long time ago I read how the Incas invented freeze drying spuds long before the 1900's. It's simplicity itself. Choose a nice mountain with subzero temps at night, and place whole potatoes (presumably scrubbed) outside to freeze. When it got above freezing, the potatoes thawed. After a few cycles of freeze and thaw, what was left was basically starch. Resistant starch at that. Wonder if it was black or grey?
Food of the Incas: 1300-1500
And this answers the last question,

I get that everyone is different, but I don't understand how some people are dropping 1-2 pounds a day, and I gain weight?

Then the townswoman's self-satisfied arrogance came to the surface.
All this Charlotte Bronte's townswoman told simply and garrulously, but she told it well because she had felt and seen.
Her mother had been a townswoman; and the girl had been born and bred amongst them.
"That lass o' Lowrie's has made a bad bargain, i' takin' up wi' that wench," said a townswoman to Grace.
Rouvke, in his heart, addressed to his townswoman, on emerging from the pitchy darkness of the little bedroom.
We are thankful to see the recognition accorded to the worth of our townswoman.
Did you at that time know of his relation to your townswoman, Mrs. Clemmens?

Timing Engineer Dean De Leon Sees the Light
PCH traffic is regulated from District 7's Signal Operations Center (SOC.)
If everyone stuck at a traffic light on Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) knew that Caltrans Timing Engineer Dean De Leon, Office of Traffic Design, could send them through at the touch of a button, they would all have him on speed dial.
Before all the frantic calls begin, however, it should be noted that the operative word is "could." The unfortunate corollary of making the light green in one direction, however, is that it would have to be red in the other. That's why a great deal of science and technology is involved in operating traffic lights so that they provide the maximum flow in each direction.
From the Signal Operations Center (SOC) on the fourth floor of the district office building, PCH traffic can be viewed on a bank of wall monitors and signals can be adjusted, if necessary, via computer. De Leon is responsible for operating the traffic signals on PCH from the Santa Monica Freeway (I-10) to the Ventura Freeway (U.S. 101) and throughout most of Ventura County. This involves developing and maintaining timing as well as investigating complaints in conjunction with Maintenance and the Office of Traffic Investigations.
Timing is developed in the SOC, where a wall of computers receives traffic data and signal phasing can be tested on an in-house signal module. It is possible to hit mostly green lights but there is a strategy to it: "You have to stay at the speed limit," De Leon said. "On PCH, it's 45 mph."
Caltrans employs what's called the Adaptive Traffic Control System (ATCS), using Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT) software. "While overall this system is working quite well, the State will continue to evaluate various technologies to ensure it is using the most effective one," he said.
ATCS adjusts signal timing at all intersection directions automatically based on real time traffic volumes. That's the good news. The bad news is that "the majority of signal locations are not on this system," De Leon said-- only 200 out of the district's 1300 are run under the ATCS . About 400 signals are operated and maintained by the local cities, many under LADOT's management. "This helps both agencies to jointly manage the freeway and arterial signal systems more effectively and efficiently."
Continuing the signalization on PCH to Kanan Dume Road is being looked at, but the question of finding funds makes such a project unlikely in the near term, although Measure R funds could be a possibility.
De Leon started his career with Caltrans more than 19 years ago after graduating as an electrical engineer from Cal State Long Beach and a relatively short stint in the private sector. He spent 10 years in Construction and then a year and a half in Design before coming to Signal Operations
He grew up in Montebello but now lives in Long Beach with his family. With a five-year old son and twin three-year-old daughters, De Leon's spare time is pretty much taken up with his children. "My wife and I work on teaching them their alphabet and spelling, how to ride a bike and shuttle them to and from various recreational activities," he said. The family enjoys camping and, since purchasing a travel trailer a couple of years ago, has visited 12 states and Canada. "I started a little late in life having kids so, more often than not, I need energy more than time."

Ask an Eye Doctor and Get an Answer ASAP
Have the migraines always been accompanied by aphasia? Since the onset of the migraines have you had a workup by a neurologist? An MRI?
Yes. I had an MRI a little over 3 years ago after my first migraine because I thought I was having a stroke. I forgot to mention that sometimes I get numbness in my face, usually around my mouth, lips, tongue and nose and also in my left hand. I do see a neurologist but I am concerned by the change in trigger. My neurologist sent me to a pain specialist to inject two nerves in my head with a steroid. He wasn't able to hit the nerve and it didn't do anything but leave a lump on my head for several weeks.
Have the migraines also been accompanied by aphasia all along or is that new?
I get aphasia every time I have a visual disturbance. I can understand people but I can not read, especially out loud (it comes out gibberish) and what I am thinking is not what I say.
The aphasia is not new. I have had it all along.
Okay, I will say the fact that your migraines are associated with signs that are characteristic of a stroke are much more concerning to me than the change in triggers--those are going to shift around a bit throughout your life. However, the fact that you've had a thorough workup by a neurologist and are still under his/her care makes me less worried about these complicated migraines that you have. But no, I wouldn't necessarily be worried about a change in triggers.
Does that make sense?
Just turning on the lights when I get home triggers a migraine especially if someone turns on the light and then turns it back off and on again. Does this seem to have anything to do with my eyes or just something I will have to deal with. I have a lot of floaters and my eye sight has gotten worse recently. Could be my age. I just want to make sure that you don't see a reason to have my eyes checked.
No, I don't see a reason to have your eyes checked. Of course, if it's been several years since your last complete, dilated eye examination it couldn't hurt. But no, this doesn't make me worried about something in your eyes causing this, unless you are having eye symptoms such as redness, pain, light-sensitivity and so forth. The eyes are just the unwilling entry way to the brain of a trigger for your migraines.
Ok. Thank you.
My pleasure.
Do you have any other concerns or questions about this topic?
No. Thank you.
You bet. Good luck.

MGoWallpaper: Crackin' Buckeyes
The Game. The Wallpaper.
So far this year we have battled the Nyan Warriors, hunted buffalo, schooled the badgers, and turned up the heart on Sparty. Now, it's time to crack some nuts.
Buckeyes are tough, toxic nuts (and people). The wallpaper this week features the only nutcracker strong enough to crack even the biggest buckeyes. I'm still working on a catchy name for the Harbaugh nutcracker, but it works great. Simply put a buckeye in the mouth and watch the strong jaw crush it. What should you do with cracked buckeyes? Toss 'em.
And just for fun, here's a GIF of the Harb-o-matic Buckeye Cracker 2000. #BeatOSU

Wallpaper Season - The Game - 2016
Good evening, ladies and gentlement of MGoBlog.
As you may or may not have noticed, I have been absent from the wallpaper scene this year for the most part. I've been extremely busy with both work and life and haven't had some of the free-time to do wallpapers like I would like to. Well, this week I was sent to Kentucky for work and so I have had some evening free time - so you get a wallpaper from me for "The Game." Ok, enough stupid filler "me" content, and on to the wallpaper content.
I'm constantly struck by how much of Bo is in Jim Harbaugh. I think some of it is fabricated by my mind and others in the Michigan fanbase, but I also truly believe Bo had such a lasting impression on Jim that he tries hard to emulate Bo in many areas of coaching. For this week's wallpaper, I went with the sentimental approach rather than the "Beat Ohio" chest-pounding. While I love to talk trash about Ohio State, they are not who I am focusing on this week - focusing on your rival is for little brothers. I am focusing on The Game, and on Jim Harbaugh, and on Bo - all things that make Michigan that much more MICHIGAN in my mind.
There's no way I could know this, of course, but I like to think that Jim can hear his old coach giving him advice while he roams the sideline, grinning or growling, teaching or throwing things. I just imagine him hearing Bo curse when a flag is thrown, laugh at the futility of dealing with referees, and encourage his quarterback when he's down on himself - wanting to give in to doubt. I like to think that these things fuel Jim - that they give him some sort of supernatural serenity, an unnatural peace in the midst of the chaos that is gametime. I want so desperately for Bo's words to be prophetic.
"It's gonna be Michigan again...Michigan."
Damn it, Bo. We miss you. Jim misses you. This world took you away too soon. Here's to being "Michigan again." For Bo, for Jim, for the Team, and for all of us fans. I'm thankful to be a Michigan Wolverine. I'm thankful for a forum to express my unhealthy love for this game and for the Team that plays it so well. I hope you enjoy this wallpaper.
Go Blue.

Beat Ohio - Winter is Here
I took the snowfall as a good omen for us, and wanted to try and capture it in a wallpaper. This is the first one I came up with this morning. I may create and post more if I have the time today and later this week.
*updated with square/share format*
Sorry in advance if this post and/or links get messed up. Trying to quickly get it up at work.
Go Blue! Beat Ohio!
MGoWallpaper: Sparty Is Fine
We need some wallpaper for #HateWeek, right? Of course.
The MSU rivalry has always been the most important rivalry to me. I live in Lansing, so many of my friends and family members are Spartans. For the last decade, it has not been very fun to live amongst the Green and White.
However, this year has been great fun. The Sparty fans in my life have been unusually quiet. It's almost as if they are sitting quietly in a burning room. Just like the famous dog from the very popular comic. That's where the idea for this wallpaper came from.
And for all your trash talking needs, here it is in comic form.
Aaaand for good measure, here's a GIF.

MGoWallpaper: Class Dismissed
The inspiration for my wallpaper this week is a little bit out of left field. Some of you may be aware that Wisconsin once tried to steal the "Mitten State" slogan from Michigan. In the winter of 2011, a Wisconsin tourism campaign used the image of a mitten stretched in the shape of Wisconsin. Some Michiganders were outraged, but most thought it was hilarious.
This is not what a mitten looks like. The "thumb" is an incredibly generous interpretation of what the state actually looks like. I don't want to see the hand that fits in that mitten.
My takeaway from the situation was that Wisconsinites aren't very good at drawing hands. In fact, maybe people from Wisconin just aren't good at drawing in general. So what would it look like if the head coaches from Wisconsin and Michigan were asked to draw their respective mascots? See for yourself below.
MGoWallpaper: Great Khaki Buffalo
It's time for another wallpaper!
The opponent this week is well known in the Michigan fanbase (we won't talk about why). The Buffaloes from Colorado come into the Big House this week. Before the season, this seemed like another cupcake game. It could still end up being a cupcake game, but Colorado does seem to be a little better than Hawaii and UCF.
It's time for 'ol Harbaugh and the boys to wrangle up some buffs.
This wallpaper is an edit of an old John Mix Stanley painting. He was an artist in the mid-1800's that painted a lot of of landscapes and Native Americans. This specific painting can be found in the Smithsonian.
This is one of the more difficult wallpapers I've created. I cobbled together a few photos from the MGoBlog Flickr to get Harbaugh in the right pose. Hope you enjoy it.

Johnny Depp reunited with his old band The Kids to play the Sheila Witkin Memorial Reunion Concert in Pompano Beach, Florida last night.
Two of Johnny's biggest fans – his girlfriend Vanessa Paradis and their 9-year-old daughter Lily Rose – were among the 2,800 fans there cheering him on. Lily-Rose was spotted snapping pics of her famous dad with a disposable camera.
Johnny joined The Kids at the first Sheila Witkin Memorial concert last year as well. Proceeds from the show went to the Dan Marino Foundation, which supports programs for children with special needs.
Johnny has made his mark as an extremely successful actor, but music holds a special place in his heart. He's said in the past, "Music was always my first love. It was my first love for sure. And still is a huge part of my life."

As the sun set over Russia's Black Sea, it shined on the Canadian flag just as it was hitting the top of the flagpole with the national anthem playing in the background.
It marked an unofficial start at the Sochi Olympics for Canada. It didn't take long for chef de mission Steve Podborski to stop thinking about red and white and start dreaming about gold.
"When the Canadian flag went up, the sun is glaring on it, it blows out and you can see the Maple Leaf and I'm thinking, 'I'm sure we're going to hear more of that,"' he said. "It was really, really great."
Before the flag went up, about a hundred Canadian athletes marched into the city's international plaza beyond volunteers waving mini flags. They watched the Choir of Siberia sing and dance and a Russian honour guard march beside the stage.
It was an expression of Russian pop culture two days before the official opening ceremony in Sochi.
"The Russians really bring a sense of majesty and something big to a ceremony like this," Podborski said. "It was really charming."
Podborski accepted a Sochi 2014 Matryoshka doll on behalf of Canada's delegation, and each athlete at the ceremony received a pair of rainbow-coloured gloves. Some took pictures with the three Olympic mascots: the Polar Bear, the Hare and the Leopard.
But Canadian Olympic Committee president Marcel Aubut emphasized that the focus of the event was the picturesque moment when the flag was raised.
"The sun just appeared when we presented Canada, the flag going up," Aubut said. "I think there's some luck around here, good spirit, at least."
The athletes were in good spirits just to be together for the first time all week. Among those living in the Coastal Village, the only ones missing were the men's hockey players, who are set to arrive Monday.
"It is a start and a milestone," Podborski said. "They come in in drips and drabs at night, in the morning. They see each other and some people are totally jet lagged and other people have been here for three months. It's the first time all together and, yeah, it's really a big first step."
Pairs figure skater Paige Lawrence called the event one of the highlights of her brief stay in Sochi so far.
"It was really cool to experience it with so many different team Canada members," Lawrence said. "This is the first time that we've had a Canadian moment."
Women's hockey player Jayna Hefford enjoyed the "energy and buzz" the ceremony created as all the athletes congregated together to watch and take photos.
"It's one of our favourite moments watching our flag go up on the pole like that," Hefford said. "It's a special time for us."
This was particularly special for Podborski, a bronze medallist in downhill skiing in 1980 who had never been to one of these ceremonies because he was always in the mountains. Naturally those in Krasnaya Polyana, the Mountain Cluster, didn't make the long trip down.
But that didn't take away from the camaraderie of this team-building event.
"What they've often said is they really want to have a sense of team and we've built that by bringing them together several times outside the Olympic Games," Podborski said. "One of the alpine skiers who has been to two Olympic Games, he said the first time (he) felt like (he) was on the team was at the team preparation seminar, not when he's at the Games themselves. I think we've really made it a better thing."
Figure skater Kevin Reynolds hopes the camaraderie has an added advantage once the Games get under way.
"I think it will help us all this week, having these chances to bond beforehand," Reynolds said. "I'm looking forward to supporting the team members throughout the week and hopefully they'll support me, as well."

The freed American soldier held by the Taliban for five years was finally back on US soil after his plane touched down at an Air Force base in Texas.
Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl landed at Lackland in San Antonio shortly after 1am on Friday. The 28-year-old was taken to nearby Brooke Army Medical Centre, where he is expected to be reunited with his family who he has shunned since being freed by his Taliban captors two weeks go.
His return coincides with the leaking of a pair of letters Sgt Bergdahl penned while being held captive. In them, he explains for the first time why he "deserted" his post in Afghanistan in June 2009 before eventually being captured.
In the letters, he urges his family and the American government not to judge his reasons for walking away. In one, dated May 23 last year, he wrote to his parents in Hailey, Idaho. Sgt Bergdahl said: "Leadership was lacking, if not non-existent. The conditions were bad and looked to be getting worse for the men that were actually the ones risking their lives from attack. If this letter makes it to the USA, tell those involved in the investigation that there are more sides to the situation. Please tell D.C. to wait for all evidence to come in."
The first of the letters, posted on American website The Daily Beast, is dated November 27 and addressed in care of "Geneva Red Cross" with "POW Bowe Bergdahl, US Army Afghanistan War Prison" scrawled on the back. It is addressed to "Father Robert Bergdahl, USA".
He writes: "To my friends & family, in regards to the circumstances here, I am as well as can be. I am given food and drink. The circumstances from the beginning of my time in Afghanistan, from immediate top to bottom, were bad for troopers especially in my platoon.
"Orders showed no concern for safety of troopers in the field, and lacked clear minded, logical and commonsense thinking and understanding from the topsides. The circumstances showed signs of going from bad into a nightmare for the men in the field. Unacceptable conditions for the men working and risking life every moment outside the wire.
"There are some risks that are forced to be taken, however it was made clear more than once that clear minded understanding from leadership was lacking, if not non-existent. The conditions were bad and looked to be getting worse for the men that where actually the ones risking their lives from attack as well as Afghan elements."
The website said it obtained the letters from sources in contact with the Taliban and have been confirmed to be the same ones that were delivered by the International Red Cross to Sgt Bergdahl's family. They are the first personal response seen from Sgt Bergdahl himself on the circumstances surrounding his capture by the Taliban. The soldier, who claims he was tortured and held in a shark cage for weeks after trying to escape, was handed over on May 31 in exchange for five senior Taliban commanders being detained at the Guantanamo Bay.
The release sparked outrage in the US after Barack Obama sanctioned the move without consulting Congress, leading opposing politicians to accuse the President of breaking the law. Senator John McCain, a former prisoner of war, described the men freed as having "the blood of Americans on their hands". Republican Senator Ted Cruz blasted: "What does this tell terrorists? That if you capture a soldier, you can trade that soldier for five terrorist prisoners?"
The five men were flown to Qatar where they must stay for a year. However, Americans have been left outraged after learning that the men, wanted by the UN for war crimes, are staying in five-star accommodation having had their families arrive to be with them. Already one has vowed to return to the front line to fight the jihad against the West.
The Taliban also said it would now target soldiers knowing how much they are worth. One commander said: "It's better to kidnap one person like Bergdahl than kidnapping hundreds of useless people. It has encouraged our people. Now everybody will work hard to capture such an important bird."
An investigation has been launched by the Pentagon into the claims by Sgt Bergdahl's former brothers-in-arms that he deserted his post. Six of his colleagues were killed while trying to search for him. Following his arrival back home, Sgt Bergdahl is not scheduled to make any public appearances ahead of what is being referred to as Phase 3 of his reintegration process. Pentagon spokesman Rear Admiral John Kirby said: "Our first priority is making sure that Sgt Bergdahl continues to get the care and support he needs."
He will now spend time with a special team which has been preparing for his return since his capture.

Re: weird behavior when plotting multiple functions in 6.0
and when you say
f[x_] = {Sin[x], Cos[x]};
Plot[Evaluate[f[x]], {x, 0, 4*Pi}]
the curves again red and blue, because Plot[]
has the attribute HoldAll, and so it can't see
that f[x] results a list of functions instead of a
single one. In version 6.0 Plot[] has a new option
Plot[f[x], {x, 0, 4*Pi}, Evaluated -> True]
that will also fix the problem.

Demo 2006
From Business Week:
What a difference six minutes can make. At the annual Demo conference, that's how long a startup has to pitch a new product or service in hopes of lining up investor backing. Fewer than 70 companies were selected from a pool of more than 1,500 to "demo" their cutting-edge wares at the 2006 show in Phoenix.
Demo is designed to give an early peek at some of the products expected to have the highest impact on the technology landscape in the coming years. This year's highlights range from a newfangled ice-cream vending machine to an innovative way to stave off ID theft.
To see the slide show of new products demonstrated, click here. One eyecatcher was Riya's face recognition software for digitally photographed people.

text: <<I am not in favor of dumping people 5 miles outside of town, >> You reminded me of something else with this Dennis. In the winter they run every hour - but parking probably isn't a problem in town in the winter months. However, in the summer or at least on Remembrance weekend they were running every half hour IIRC. You start dumping people miles out of town with a pick up every half hour and you are going to have crowds of people waiting going and coming. What happens if people are still waiting to get picked up when the hours end? I think there is a lot of planning that needs to be done before implementation. You leave too many people stranded for too long a time and there won't be too many of those estimated 4 million people ever returning. Paula

An air-dry essential, the ultimate shine-maker, the lazy girl's good hair secret, and more.
5 Ways to Style Your Bangs Out of Your Face
When it comes to categorically Good Hair, ELLE editors each have different goals–model-y texture, mega shine, vibrant color (I mean, who doesn't want that?), so naturally we all rely on different hair products. Here, an air-dry essential, the ultimate shine-maker, the lazy girl's texture trick, and more.More
For some reason I can't sleep on planes unless I have my hood up. So what? Well, I wake up with hoodie hair–the fluffy halo that comes from passing out in a sweatshirt cocoon. Rather than travel with a box of dryer sheets–proven hair smoothers–I calm flyaways with this expensive smelling rendition from Kérastase. –Julie Schott, Senior Beauty & Fitness Editor

This is the kind of workhorse product that I always like to have around. I use it before a blow dry to make the strands sleeker, and after to tame the flyaways. On airdry days, it limits the frizz halo. –Chloe Schama, Executive Editor

A coalition of civil rights advocates spoke out today against the Detroit Police Department's decision to hire consultants with a conservative group that promoted the controversial stop-and-frisk program in New York City that critics say tramples on constitutional rights.
Speaking at the Detroit office of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), the activists said they're concerned that the stop-and-frisk program — which a federal judge ruled unconstitutional last month — is coming to Detroit. Earlier this year, the Detroit Police Department hired the Bratton Group and the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research to advise them on policing, paying them more than $600,000.
Over the last year or so, the Manhattan Institute, which is funded by conservatives such as brothers David and Charles Koch, has been working on a pilot program in Detroit to help reduce crime. The institute helped develop New York's stop-and-frisk program, in which police can stop people and search them; the vast majority of such stops resulted in no arrests.
Mark Fancher, staff attorney at the Michigan ACLU, said he and others are concerned that African Americans and other minorities could be unfairly targeted in the stop-and-frisk program. He cited the ruling last month of U.S. District Court Judge Shira Scheindlin that detailed how minorities, especially African Americans and Latinos, were profiled under New York's program.

I've thought about but haven't found the right piece of furniture. I'm a bit more picky about furniture. I won't settle for anything but the right shape texture and size. recommend any place to get the most fuckable ones?

the first time i found out about masturbating was when i climbed this pole at 9 yrs old. i rubbed my wee wee against the pole as i climbed it and after i got up to a certain point i'd feel this incredible feeling.. a few yrs later i discovered that white stuff starting coming out and i didnt realize what it was.. i started doing this with tables and chairs, until i found a more efficient way with my hand
I want to be your armrest!
Jan 27, 2013 at 5:07pm
i KNOW there are others out there who do the same thing! It's just your particular kink, and I for one think it's fucking sexy! I think there's probably a few dimensions to this habit ie- masturbating with furniture is a bit naughty/dirty/taboo... And super hot! Would love to catch you in the act!!!

...but i'm assuming the OP is a woman? I'm a guy and it's hard to imagine how i might enjoy masterbating with furniture! But having seen a number of clips of women rubbing and dry humping couches and chairs... anyway, it's hot!

I'm disgusted that you can't commit to one piece of furniture. That's the problem with men in Vancouver. That's why I'm so happy I am single
Jan 28, 2013 at 10:18pm
@not sure - I'm a man, not a woman. I assure you, it's not difficult to enjoy masturbating using furniture. This is 20+ years of experience talking. I can also masturbate the typical way but it's not nearly as satisfying. I suppose that's partially because of the habitual pattern and that's difficult to break. Of course, neither beat having actual sex but ......
@guy- If you're serious, try leather. It's smooth, not very abrasive, so your dick slides easily.
@don't.use.used- Only my own furniture. Never used, always clean!
@Iwanttobeyourarmrest- Sure! (if you're a woman that is). You're right- it's a great kink.
@dru- What the what?

A parent-led campaign to shame irresponsible dog owners into cleaning up after their pets has been re-launched in Otley.
Sara Quin started muck:up! in 2010 in a bid to rid the town's streets of the unsightly, and potentially health threatening, blight of dog mess.
That was after she had seen at first hand how bad the problem was while accompanying one of her children on a school walk.
The campaign set up a website and organised a competition for local schoolchildren to design deterrent posters that were put up at prime dog-fouling sites.
Now Sara is set to take up the fight again after MP Greg Mulholland (Lib Dem, Leeds North West) told her it was becoming a major issue.
She said: "I have been liaising successfully with Otley Town Council for funding to get spray cans of temporary chalk paint.
"And, via the muck:up! Facebook and Twitter pages, I have got 25 volunteers who will be using the paint to mark dog fouling. We hope this will work in two ways – firstly, the dog mess will be clearly marked and hence stop kids walking or scooting in it, and buggies going through it.
"And secondly, the lazy dog owners who don't pick up (or people who bag it and then dump the bags) might be enticed to pick up their dog mess when they see the amount of red circles highlighting it all.
"They may stop thinking 'just this once won't hurt'.
"The spray cans have now been distributed so residents will no doubt see the red circles popping up around town. Rest assured, this is temporary paint and will fade in a few weeks – unlike the bacteria in dog mess which research has shown can last in the ground for up to two years."
Town council leader Councillor John Eveleigh (Lab, Ashfield) said it had been glad to back the campaign by purchasing the spray cans.
He said: "We're keen to support local initiatives like this that improve Otley's environment."
Mr Mulholland said: "I commend Sara for re-launching the campaign after its success since originally launching in 2010. It is clear that in some areas of Otley the problem of dog fouling has got worse again and I have received a number of complaints from residents.
"It is clear a small minority continue to behave in this anti-social way."

Subject: [S-I] Gardening in the early 1800s
Date: Sat, 19 Feb 2011 12:18:53 -0800
A blog that I did recently is not directly about genealogy, but may
interest some. My brother Struan, a part-time, organic gardener,
introduced me to a couple of old books on gardening practices, one
published in 1802 and one in 1885. Both books give us remarkable
insights into how crops were raised, and in reading them, what can we
can apply to today. The blog has links to where the books can be found
on the internet.

|Chases highlight weekend for police department
|Faith Huffman | News-Telegram News Editor
April 3, 2006 - Police engaged in a vehicle pursuit and a foot chase over the weekend, resulting in one arrest and with one person successfully eluding police.
Sgt. Norman Sanders engaged in a brief car and foot chase which concluded at a College Street residence, where the officer was unable to identify the suspect Saturday night.
Sanders attempted to stop a brown truck for speeding on Oak Avenue Saturday night. As the officer pulled onto Oak Avenue to stop it, the truck sped up. The pursuit continued down College Street and onto J.P. Alley, where the truck struck a power pole before driving into back yard of a College Street residence and the driver ran into the house. When it became apparent Sanders couldn't positively identify the suspect from among several people at the house, the officer had the truck towed and left.
Then at about 1:30 a.m. Sunday, officer Mark Estes stopped Chudney Haran Beard, 27, for riding his bicycle in the middle of Jarbo Street. Beard was "extremely nervous," smelled like alcohol and kept trying to reach into his front pocket. A long cigar box with marijuana and three rocks of crack cocaine weighing 1.2 grams were found on him during a pat down.
Officer Lonnie Taylor and Lt. Bo Fox, who arrived to assist, tried to put hand restraints on Beard, but the man took off running through several yards. Estes caught up with him two blocks away, forcing him to the ground. Beard was arrested for manufacture or delivery of a controlled substance.

Lindgren, creator of such memorable characters as Pippi Longstocking (Pippi Långstrump; 1945), was noted for employing complex ideas and unconventional characters in a genre that historically had been historically constrained by conceptions of propriety and the idea that children possessed possess only a limited understanding of the world. The award, first presented in 2003, was intended to reward living authors, illustrators, and storytellers who similarly challenged and stimulated youthful audiences. It was also given to organizations that encouraged literacy. The winners—among them Maurice Sendak, Philip Pullman, and the Tamer Institute for Community Education (a Palestinian literacy organization)—were selected by a jury that included a representative of Lindgren's family.
Winners of the Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award are listed in the table.

Chirton Primary School has been given a boost in its campaign to remain open, with a report from education watchdog Ofsted grading them "good with outstanding features".
The school, with just 19 pupils on the roll, making it one of the smallest in Wiltshire, survived a threat of closure following a determined campaign by the governing body, staff, parents, children and villagers.
As a result, Lionel Grundy, the Wiltshire Council cabinet member with responsibility for children's services, announced in September that the school was no longer under threat of closure.
The report, by schools' inspector Jane Neech, said: "The new headteacher (Sue Chivers) has injected energy and drive into the school and has quickly shown a clear determination to build on the school's successes since the last inspection.
"The school community has confidence in the way she is developing the quality of the provision."
She added: "The governing body has stepped up to the mark during the period of uncertainty about the school's future. Governors reported that the threat of closure had been a wake-up call."
The report grades the school as 'good', the second highest category, on three out of four criteria. On the behaviour and safety of children, though, it is 'outstanding', the highest grading.
The report said: "Nearly everyone thinks the pupils' behaviour is excellent. The inspector agreed. She found that behaviour in lessons and at playtimes and lunchtimes was consistently exemplary. A typical feature is the way older pupils look after younger ones, as when arranging playtime games and guiding younger pupils across the road to the school hall for lunch and cooking activities."
Mrs Chivers said: "I am pleased the inspector recognised the hard work achieved by everyone and the progress the school has made.
"It is a pleasure to be headteacher here. The parents are supportive of the school, and there is a real family atmosphere.
"I am confident the school will be in a position to achieve outstanding at its next inspection."
Nicky Wragg, chairman of governors, said: "It illustrates what an excellent school Chirton is. We have an exciting future."
Staff, pupils and governors this week paid tribute to foundation school governor Louise Woolley, who is standing down after more than 20 years.

This bowl is a nice fall macabre touch to the dining table or coffee table. I've always loved seeing black twigs as a touch for Halloween decorations, I couldn't explain why, but it's so thrilling.

VaFashionista's recommendation
An alternative to having a gourd on your table to signify the harvest, this metal twig bowl has the same appeal, with a more modern twist. Fill with fruits and vegetables of the season and pine cones for the winter.
