Dear Boy (11 months)
Dear Boy,
You are 11 months old. Holy Moley. Where did that go?
I think quite a lot of that time has been spent chasing you. You started crawling at none and a half months and I think that same day you decided you wanted to pull everything off shelves, empty your Dad's bin, open cupboard doors, eat CDs and turn the playstation on and off, on and off, on and off. We've had to rearrange the house a little, although it's still a minefield of electronics, cables, switches and sockets that we won't let you touch.
You are a crawling machine. You speed from room to room, leaving toy debris in your wake. You've recently discovered that you can do full laps around the house, skittering on the wooden floors like a puppy. You've also starting crawling over stuff, up and down steps and levering yourself up onto boxes and over the sides of your paddling pool. Nothing seems to contain you anymore except your cot, but I can see you eyeing off the side. One day, I'll find you monkeying your way up and over that too.
You're also standing, pulling yourself up on the furniture, our legs, the walls, and rattling the bars of the gas heater (lucky you're learning this in summer). You love to stand at the coffee table, picking off the safety bumpers we stuck onto the pointy corners, and eating them. No matter how many times we explain they're there to protect your gorgeous head, you pick them off and chew at them again. You have had lots of bruises and bumps lately, which scares me and your Dad but you pick yourself right back up and continue adventuring.
You are chewing anything and everything because there are new teeth pushing their way into the world. Your first top tooth came through weeks ago, the second last week. The third has turned you into a drooling boy who bites under the guise of giving sloppy kisses and blowing raspberries on our skin. I have teeth marks, especially on my knees, which seem to be your favourite. I'm hoping you get a break after that one breaks through.
On top of the teething, we think you've hit separation anxiety city. You're still a remarkably happy boy but want to be close by whoever is looking after you. If we walk into another room, even briefly, you crawl after us as your little face crumples. It's also happening when you fall asleep - you wail if we leave the room before you fall asleep - so we stay with you, tickle your little arm or lay you back down over and over and over when you flip over and scramble onto your feet. You're terribly pleased with yourself when you do that.
So it's December now and your first Christmas is almost upon us. Your Dad might be a bit of a Christmas grinch but it's my favourite time of year. We're going to have some fun, Dear Boy. There's a wonderful world of lights and decorations and presents and peace and joy out there. I can't wait to show it to you.
Your Mum.

I Think I Had The Worse Cupcake Today, No I Know I Had The
worse cupcake today. I was at work on my lunch break talking to some friends when a security guard comes up stair with a box of cupcakes. I said what do you have there and he replied someone from Icing on the cupcake dropped by with a free box of cupcakes.
We all ran over to see what was inside and they were adorable. We all grab a cupcake I grabbed red velvet and take a bite. I started with the cake and was not impressed at all. Extremely dry and didn't really taste like red velvet to me.
Then one of the ladies asked why I hadn't tried the frosting so I pop part of the cupcake with the frosting in my mouth and right back out it came. It was the worst frosting I have ever tasted. I can't really describe the flavor except dry with maybe a coffee creamer flavor.Yuck!
So the rest of the night all my co workers kept asking each other did you try the cupcakes? I only saw one person eat the entire cupcake the rest threw them in the trash.
You would think that if you are trying to promote your business that you wouldn't deliver what tastes like two day old cupcakes. I guess it's the thought that counts. The funny thing is now my coworkers want to have a cupcake challenge next week. At least we will get additional goodies out of it. LOL.

Jennifer Lawrence Set to Earn $10 Million For Catching Fire08/07/2012
Jennifer Lawrence has a great agent. The Hunger Games stars is set to earn a $10 million dollar paycheck for the follow up, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. The Guardian UK reported the news this morning.
Jennifer Lawrence shot to super stardom last year playing Katniss Everdeen, the now famous character the world over. In the first installment, The Hunger Games, Jennifer Lawrence reportedly made just over $500,000 thousand dollars. Not bad for your average joe, but a small salary in Hollywood standards.
Well, that has all changed now and she certainly had the upper hand in negotiations. She is the corner stone of the franchise. Lionsgate needs Jennifer Lawrence, she would be absoulutly impossible to replace. There is no way in hell another actress could come in at this point and play Katniss.
Co-stars Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth are getting far more meagre wage rises, suggesting what we already know and what I wrote above, Lawrence is recognised as the franchise's key figure.
Catching Fire starts shooting in September with Water for Elephants director Francis Lawrence taking over from Gary Ross. I think that is a mistake. Gary Ross should have been back, but he couldn't get the raise jennifer Lawrence got and walked away from the project.

Ratings for Dr. Stuart D. Boyd
I was diagnosed at age 50 with prostate cancer. Dr Boyd took his time and clearly explained the problems, the nature of my symptoms and the best options available for my case. He carefully and thoughtfully answered all of my questions and he was clear and honest about the outcomes, side effects and dangers of the surgery. The surgery was successful and I am cancer free after 11 years and my life expectancy is no different from anyone else in my age group. Dr. Boyd is an affable and friendly man; and an excellent doctor who clearly cares about his patients. The world would be a better place if all doctors were this good.
In 2009, I was diagnosed with bladder cancer at University of Pittsburgh Medical Center while traveling. I returned to S. Cal. and was treated by Dr Boyd. I cannot say enough good things regarding Dr Boyd and the staff at USC Norris Cancer Hospital. In my experience he is on of the very best surgeons in the country, and his staff is also top notch.
Dr. Boyd sent my father a patient satisfaction survey to my mother's address roughly a year after he died. Apart from his overly optimistic prognosis, after which my father deteriorated rapidly, Dr. Boyd was arrogant, inaccessible, and made roughly $300,000 off my father's surgical procedure which left him far worse off than he had been before.
Good guy well mannered, but never did find out what was wrong with me. He said he knew what was wrong with me and gave nothing but false hope. He prescribed medicine that he guaranteed would work. I ended up going to the pharmacy and they told me I was already taking that medicine. I tried to get a hold of Dr. Stuart to ask why would he prescribe medicine I was already taking but there was no way of getting through I just got a machine. I still have the same urination problem. All I got from Dr. Stuart was a lot of Medical Bills and false hope.
At age 79 I had a tumor in my kidney and an enlarged prostate backing urine in my kidneys. He operated and I fully recovered. At 92 I had liver failure and 30 pound weight loss and a hernia. Again he operated, with others. I am fully recovered. He was professional, considerate, and followed me in out patient care. I cannot rate him highly enough. He saved my life twice.

- Eczema
- Overview
- Types of Eczema
- Treatment
- Child Eczema
- Resources
- Eczema Products
- Get Involved
- Research
Many people with eczema use products and practices that are outside Western, or conventional, medicine to help manage their symptoms. If you use these natural therapies with doctor-prescribed medications, you are using a "complementary" method to manage your eczema. If you are using natural therapies in place of conventional medicine, you are using an "alternative" method.
Before you consider any kind of treatment, it's important to understand what triggers your eczema. Learning about the irritants in your everyday surroundings can help you better manage the condition whether you use traditional medications, alternative therapies, or both.
It's true — some of the most powerful eczema remedies are already in your kitchen
The following complementary and alternative therapies have been studied and found to benefit certain symptoms of eczema in adults. Check with your health care provider if you are interested in trying alternative therapies on your child's eczema.
Studies show that applying coconut oil topically reduces the amount of staph bacteria on the skin, which reduces the chance of infection.
Apply coconut oil once or twice a day to damp skin. Be sure to choose coconut oils that are "virgin" or "cold pressed." This method of oil extraction does not use chemicals, which could further irritate skin.
Sunflower oil boosts the skin's barrier function, helping it to retain moisture. It also has anti-inflammatory properties. Apply sunflower oil to adult skin twice a day, with one of those times being shortly after bathing while skin is still wet.
Avoid using sunflower oil, if you have a known allergy to sunflower seeds.
Cardiospermum is a flowering tropical vine native to India and Africa. When extracted and put into a topical ointment, cardiospermum can help reduce inflammation, itch and bacteria on the skin.
Stress is a known trigger for atopic dermatitis (AD) flares. Though the exact relationship between stress and AD is unknown, experts believe that when you experience a stressful situation, your body produces inflammation. And inflammation is an underlying cause of AD symptoms.
Some experts believe that there is a strong connection between the mind and skin disorders. In fact, some doctors practice what is known as "psychodermatology" to help the patient with stress, anxiety and other emotional disorders that may worsen his or her symptoms. Psychodermatology is more commonly practiced in Europe than the U.S.
Some techniques used include:
Acupressure is similar to acupuncture but with physical pressure applied to certain points on the body, rather than needles, to unblock "life energy." Limited studies show that acupressure can help relieve the symptoms of itch and lichenification — thick, leathery skin.
It is well known that massage helps relieve stress, which may then help reduce eczema flares. It's important to go to a massage therapist who is accredited and experienced with working with people with non-contagious skin conditions. Prior to your appointment, check with your massage therapist to be sure the oils and lotions used will not trigger your eczema or make it worse. Bring your own, if you are unsure.

Sermon: "The Church Militant," Rev. R. Scott MacLaren, First OPC Perkasie PA
"Athanasius Contra Mundum" is how the church fathers described the Bishop of Alexandria who stood "against the world" in his defence of the doctrine of the trinity. Watch as Pastor MacLaren shows from the prophet Micah that the Church of the Lord Jesus stands in a militant posture "contra mundum," against the world. This sermon was preached at First Presbyterian Church in Perkasie, Pennsylvania (Orthodox Presbyterian, www.firstchurchopc.org) on April 15, 2012, by Rev. R. Scott MacLaren, pastor.

There is no surprise that the owner of the best league record, the Detroit Pistons, have been placed as favourite to win the NBA Championship at 11/10 odds.
PinnacleSports.com lists the defending NBA champion San Antonio Spurs at second-best odds at 3/1 odds, followed by the Dallas Mavericks at 9/1. The Shaq and Dwayne Wade-led Miami Heat have been installed at 10/1, while the Phoenix Suns are 11/1 to take home the title.
The lack of home-court advantage could damage the Denver Nuggets hopes and because of this they find themselves as 62/1 long shots to win the NBA title.
The odds also don't look good for LeBron James' Cleveland Cavaliers who are 62/1 to capture the championship. The Memphis Grizzlies and Indiana Pacers also find themselves as large underdogs to win the league title at 85/1 odds.
In the West, the top-seeded Spurs are overwhelming 5/7 favorites to win the conference championship followed by Dallas at 4/1 and Phoenix at 9/2. PinnacleSports.com has made Detroit huge 2/7 favorites in the Eastern Conference with the Heat (9/2) and Nets (8/1) presenting the biggest challenge to the Pistons.

Ideal Pregnancy!
Mamas.. are you a hot or cold weather lady?
If you could have an ideal pregnancy, and pick when you would be at your biggest or furtherest along.. when would it be and why?
Me? Honestly? My pregnancy was exactly what I hoped for! I do not deal well with warm/hot weather.. I get hot sooo easily.. so having a babe in the coldest Winter in FOREVER.. like a little gift from God :)
I was pregnant all winter and I LOVED it! I hate the cold I'm cold all the time so it was great having a little extra to keep me warm!
I so know what you mean! It was like I didn't need a coat all Winter! :)
I honestly think I had the most ideal pregnancy/delivery. I never had any pregnancy symptoms except being extra tire. It wasn't a problem because I didn't work at the time. I was my biggest at the hottest time of year, which I don't mind because I love hot weather. I just went swimming! My delivery, I felt literally nothing until I was pushing him out and it went by so fast. No symptoms, no pain. Nothing but my son coming into the world. Perfection. :)
That's so awesome, Cassie!! Swimming sounds nice!!
Swimming when you're an extra 40 lbs heavy like I was, is heaven!

Oh nooooo, I hate it too!! Poor thing!
Summer was for sure the worst! I never want to be pregnant again in the summer! Winter was so much better!
Both of my girls were born end of July beginning of August. It was horrible, sooo miserable. I get hot easily and sweat a lot anyways so add being pregnant on top of that. I laid in the house in the ac most of the summer. So if I ever have another baby I think I'll try to plan it in the winter or fall.

Moore: A Rarity
- Details
- Written by Roy Hammans
With such a large part of this site devoted to Raymond Moore, I like to include as much information as I can gather on the man to help 'put the record straight' on his key role in British photography.
I have nearly all of his published works (not that many were ever published) but one came up on eBay a while ago that I've never managed to get hold of before. I bought it, but then promptly mislaid it, only to discover it again during a recent reorganisation.
The 1969 Winter edition of The Anglo-Welsh Review has a cover photograph by Moore and a quite lengthy article within illustrated with eight of his photographs. The cover price of six shillings in 1969 is about £4 today, but in direct translation to modern coinage is only 30p. I got it for 99p, which I guess reflects the lack of awareness of Moore's legacy and the lack of interest in anything published about him.
It is quite an interesting read - much is reproduced from other sources, but there is some original material written by Moore specifically for inclusion. I have reproduced it in full in this article.

SAN FRANCISCO — San Francisco may be getting ready to shed its image as a city where anything goes, including clothing.
City lawmakers are scheduled to vote Tuesday on an ordinance that would prohibit nudity in most public places, a blanket ban that represents an escalation of a two-year tiff between a devoted group of men who strut their stuff through the city's famously gay Castro District and the supervisor who represents the area.
Supervisor Scott Wiener's proposal would make it illegal for a person over the age of 5 to "expose his or her genitals, perineum or anal region on any public street, sidewalk, street median, parklet or plaza" or while using public transit.
A first offense would carry a maximum penalty of a $100 fine, but prosecutors would have authority to charge a third violation as a misdemeanor punishable by up to a $500 fine and a year in jail.
Exemptions would be made for participants at permitted street fairs and parades, such as the city's annual gay pride event and the Folsom Street Fair, which celebrates sadomasochism and other sexual subcultures.
Wiener said he resisted introducing the ordinance, but felt compelled to act after constituents complained about the naked men who gather in a small Castro plaza most days and sometimes walk the streets au naturel. He persuaded his colleagues last year to pass a law requiring a cloth to be placed between public seating and bare rears, yet the complaints have continued.
"I don't think having some guys taking their clothes off and hanging out seven days a week at Castro and Market Street is really what San Francisco is about," Wiener said.
The proposed ban predictably has produced outrage, as well as a lawsuit. Last week, about two dozen people disrobed in front of City Hall and marched around the block to the amusement of gawking tourists and high school students on a field trip.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- For the third time in his young career, Chandler Jones and the Patriots will square off against the Baltimore Ravens.
For Jones, that means the opportunity to play against his older brother, Art, a fourth-year defensive lineman for the Ravens who is enjoying his best season as a pro.
And while the two are extremely close, they've shied away from communication this week, though it turns out that isn't uncommon during the busy football season.
"I haven't spoke to him actually," he said of any communication this week. "That's not abnormal that we haven't [spoken]. We usually don't have time to catch up a lot."
Art and Chandler are just two of three athletic Jones brothers, as Jonny, the middle of the three, is the current light heavyweight champion in UFC.
Jonny will be in attendance this Sunday with his fiancee, as will the Jones parents and Art's fiancee, too.
This will mark the third time that Chandler Jones has played in front of his parents this season, as they've previously attended one home and one road game.
But despite the extra attention from his family, Jones' focus remains on his job, which includes finding a way to generate pressure on Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco.
In order to do so, he'll need to find his way around Eugene Monroe, acquired via trade earlier this season to replace Bryant McKinnie, who Jones has played against multiple times during his career.
"They're both good players, they move their body well for their size," Jones said in comparing Monroe and McKinnie. "They're very mobile. My job is just to work 'em, keep working 'em."
The second-year pro is hopeful to continue his strong season (he's fourth in the NFL with 11.5 sacks), and do something to Flacco that the Patriots were unable to do at all in last year's AFC championship -- bring him down via a sack.
The door should be open for Jones, as the Ravens' offensive line has endured struggles this season, surrendering 42 sacks of Flacco, the third most among NFL quarterbacks.

Many in Krakow spent the night in the Blonie meadows after a service Thursday that drew a million people to the place where John Paul celebrated several Masses during his visits to the city. John Paul studied for the priesthood and served as bishop and archbishop in Krakow.
People in the meadow sang along with the hymns from the service in Rome Friday as they watched on huge television screens, and applauded the homily by the celebrant, Cardinal Josef Ratzinger.
In Rome, Polish pilgrims packed the Eternal City before dawn Friday, still bleary-eyed from the 30-hour bus trip many endured to make it in time for the funeral of native son and national hero Pope John Paul II.
Polish officials say as many as 2 million Poles made the journey to pay their respects to the pope, whom Poles credit with helping them throw off communist rule in 1989.
"I guess I will go off and experience this by myself," said Andrzej Musial, a 23-year-old university student from Warsaw who got separated from seven companions within minutes of emerging from the subway station closest to the Vatican.
Musial said the trials Poles were going through to get to the funeral was the least they could do in tribute to "the greatest Pole who ever lived."
"When you said you were from Poland, people associated you with the pope," he said. "He represented our country to the world."
In Warsaw, sirens wailed for three minutes to announce the start of the funeral to the capital. Stores and schools closed, major newspapers did not publish, and pictures of the pope with black ribbons hung in windows everywhere.
In John Paul's hometown of Wadowice, thousands gathered in front of the church where he was baptized.
People packed Warsaw's Pilsudski Square where the pope celebrated Mass before a million people during his first visit to Poland as pope in 1979. Others gathered in the Old Town in front of Saint Ann's Church to watch the funeral on television screens.
"The pope was an extraordinary person and did great things," said 18-year-old high school student Janek Chorzewski as he watched the funeral start. "We should follow his example."
Urszula Hurtowska brought her two children to watch the broadcast. "The pope was always an inspiration to my family," the 27-year-old said. "No one ever gave us such a feeling of pride that we were born as Poles."
In Krakow's Blonie meadows, there were only five screens for the huge space, but that didn't seem to matter to the people who consider John Paul one of their own.
"The point is not in looking but in being here together, just as we were always here together during his visits," said Gosia Glinska, 23, a student at the Fine Arts Academy of Krakow.
Television and radio bulletins told people to bring food, water, even prescription medicine if they needed it for the gathering. Many people lugged blankets or folding chairs. Police estimated the crowd at 800,000.
A Mass in the meadow Thursday night drew an estimated 1 million people, who turned the field into a sea of glowing candles.
In the pope's hometown of Wadowice, the square in front of St. Mary's Basilica where he was baptized was filled with some 15,000 people from the town and surrounding area watching the funeral on a large television screen. An orchestra of firefighters played his favorite song, "The Barge."

Back and energized from an amazing fall break! With a busy college term and constant assignments all leading up to midterms, it was great to finally get a break. Although the vacation was short, it was a much-needed time to rest and get away from the routine of books and college activities. I was fortunate to get the opportunity to truly interact with an American family and walked away renewed, physically and in my perspective.
I visited the home of my friend, Cody, in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Throughout that five days, I enjoyed a visit to Dollywood (a theme park by country singer Dolly Parton) and to Ober Gatlinburg (a hilltop resort), but more importantly I enjoyed the hospitality of Cody's family.
As an international student, the five days in Gatlinburg allowed me to learn and experience new things about the day-to-day life of an American family. Through conversations, I learned a whole new side of the American image, different from those portrayed on TV or in the movies, and different from the things we've explored in college thus far.
I learned more about Southern hospitality, a term commonly used in this area. In the South, people generally address an older person or even a peer as "Yes, Sir!" or "Yes, Ma'am!" and hold the door open for the person entering behind them. It is also not unusual for a random stranger to start a conversation with you by asking, "How was your day?" or "How are you doing?"
I have visited Times Square, New York, but Gatlinburg yielded a different kind of admiration and astonishment. In general, people in the New York were mostly on the go whereas people in Gatlinburg appreciate the journey as they go along. I'm definitely not comparing New York and Gatlinburg, but merely realizing the vast diversity of the different states in America – from customs to environment – was amazing.
The world views America from its two extremes, literally. America is mostly seen as California and New York, and everything else is in-between. Ask a random foreigner and most can hardly name states in the central part of the United States.
As an international student, I would love to visit new places and more states, while I have the chance of being here. I would love to explore and see America. I would love to visit the Midwest and other Southern states! There is so much more I can learn, to look beyond the bright lights and see the beauty of America as a whole; from within and without.

McClellan disputes 'disgruntled' label
By David Jackson, USA TODAY
WASHINGTON Scott McClellan says he's "disappointed," not "disgruntled."
"Disappointed at the way things turned out," said the former White House press secretary and author of a critical new book of the Bush administration he served for more than five years. "A lot of us hoped things would turn out differently."
In a phone interview, McClellan said he has no regrets about the book, entitled What Happened: Inside the Bush White House and Washington's Culture of Deception.
McClellan writes that the administration engaged in a "political propaganda campaign" to "sell" the Iraq war. He also faults the administration for its handling of Hurricane Katrina and news leaks involving former CIA operative Valerie Plame Wilson.
BOOK BLOW UP: Criticisms stun White House team
RICE BACKS BUSH: She says administation was clear on Iraq
"This is a book about how things went off course for this presidency," said McClellan, who gave his first interviews Thursday about his memoir.
McClellan's claims have been disputed by former colleagues, such as current spokeswoman Dana Perino, who labeled him "disgruntled."
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Thursday that the United States wasn't the only country that suspected Saddam Hussein's regime harbored weapons of mass destruction. "You can agree or disagree about the decision to liberate Iraq in 2003," Rice told reporters during a stop in Stockholm. "But I would really ask, do people really believe that he was not a threat to the international community?"
McClellan said criticism is to be expected. "The White House clearly did not want me out talking candidly about these events."
In the interview, McClellan cited "two defining moments" that led to his becoming "disillusioned with the way the White House operated."
One involved claims by White House aides Karl Rove and Scooter Libby that they had nothing to do with news leaks about Plame. McClellan wrote in the book, "I had allowed myself to be deceived into unknowingly passing along a falsehood. It would ultimately prove fatal to my ability to serve the president effectively."
The second event occurred in April of 2006, just before his departure. President Bush told McClellan he had authorized the leak of parts of a secret intelligence report on Iraq, even though the administration had publicly opposed such selective disclosure of classified information.
McClellan, 40, said the process of writing the book helped crystallize his thinking about Iraq and other issues. "I couldn't fully step back from it all until I got out of that bubble," he said.
The Texas native first went to work for then-governor Bush in 1999. After the presidential campaign of 2000, McClellan served as deputy press secretary before ascending to the top job in 2003. He announced his resignation in April of 2006.
McClellan said he hopes his book can help "change things for the better in Washington," and he is encouraged by how 2008 presidential candidates John McCain and Barack Obama have talked about easing partisan divisions.
The veteran Republican said he hasn't decided who he will support in November. "I have a lot of respect and admiration for Sen. McCain," he said. "I'm also intrigued by Sen. Obama."
As for the current president, McClellan said he still thinks Bush is an authentic and sincere person, "and that personal affection hasn't changed." But he doesn't expect to be meeting with Bush anytime soon. "I'm sure he's not happy about this at all."

B`desh HC asks govt to submit report on extremists
Bangladesh High Court on Tuesday asked the government to report in next seven days the legal steps it has taken against religious dogmatists.
Dhaka: Bangladesh High Court on Tuesday asked
the government to report in next seven days the legal steps it
has taken against religious dogmatists who assaulted several
mystic singers in western Rajbari earlier this month.
A High Court bench comprising judges Syed Mohammad
Ziaul Karim and ANM Bashir Ullah issued the order asking the
attorney general`s office to submit a report on the legal and
punitive steps under affidavit within the period.
Responding a writ by college teacher, the bench also
issued a simultaneous rule demanding an explanation within
four weeks why the government should not be directed to take
steps to protect the religious rights of the mystic devotees.
The orders came two weeks after suspected group of
villagers assaulted 28 mystic signers known as "bauls" and cut
their hair and moustaches calling their activities
anti-Islamic as they stormed the house of Mohammad Fakir where
the devotees were performing Lalon songs.
The religious affairs secretary and chief of police
and elite Rapid Action Battalion and concerned administrative
and police officials will have to reply the rules.
The attackers vandalised the microphone and other
musical instruments, and ordered the devotees to stop the
The bauls came to the village to join a two-day annual
cultural event of Sadhu Sanga, an organisation of followers of
Fakir Lalon Shah, a 19th century Bengali mystic philosopher,
at Ramnagar village of the district.
The incident sparked countrywide protests as earlier
this week police arrested a madrasah principal in line with a
case filed by fellow villager and Lalon devotee Mohammad Fakir
of Ramnagar against 13 suspected religious bigots.
Lalon devotees joined by cultural activists staged
street protests at Pangsha demanding immediate arrest and
punishment of the culprits. Teachers and students of Dhaka
University (DU) also staged protests on identical demands.

The Salk Institute for Biological Studies, located in San Diego, California, has been studying language and sociability in an attempt to uncover more about autism and Williams Syndrome. Both autism and Williams Syndrome are neurodevelopmental disorders that have great impacts on the social interaction of those affected by them.
The specifics regarding how individuals are impacted, however, are very different. While individuals with autism live in a world where objects make much more sense than people do, and socializing is often avoided, people with Williams Syndrome are social butterflies who greatly enjoy other people's attention (Salk Institute).
People who suffer with Williams Syndrome often have low-IQs and severe spatial problems. Despite this, their language development is exceptional.
"The discrepancy between their language ability and IQ is startling," says co-author Ursula Bellugi, professor and director of the Laboratory of Cognitive Neuroscience at the Salk Institute, who has been studying the behavioral aspects of Williams Syndrome for more than 20 years. "Children with Williams syndrome have elaborate and rich vocabularies and use very descriptive, affect-rich expressive language, which makes their speech very engaging."
In contrast, people with autism often struggle to effectively use and process language, particularly in conversations. It was in observing these almost mirror-like differences between the two disorders that researches decided to dig deeper.
"It is this divide in language skills and use, which mirrors the opposite social profiles, that led us to explore how brains of individuals with Williams Syndrome and Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs) process language," says Inna Fishman, Ph.D., a neuropsychologist in the Laboratory of Cognitive Neuroscience at the Salk. Dr, Fisherman conceived the study together with Debra Mills, Ph.D., currently a reader at Bangor University in UK.
The study compared individuals with ASD, Williams Syndrome, and healthy controls in processing language. The results suggest that language skills and the neural processing involved with them go hand-in-hand with the level of sociability, potentially mediating the likelihood of interaction and communication with others (Salk Institute). Additionally, subjects with Autism Spectrum Disorders tended to display behaviors that would indicate trouble integrating lexical information in an ongoing context, such as in conversation and speech. The close association with language and sociability may provide more answers to the details behind ASD.
These findings are to be published in the forthcoming issue of Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience. To read the full press release from the Salk Institute, please visit their website by clicking here.

Devon Chescoe, 10, has held an annual fundraiser for the Village of Hope in Zambia since he was four years old. At the age of four, he thought about whether the children at the Village of Hope got a turkey dinner for Christmas. He thought that his family should have a party to raise money, so that they too could enjoy a Christmas dinner. Each December, his fundraiser has grown larger and his friends and their families have continued to be very supportive of his efforts. This month, Devon and his family will be travelling to Zambia.

I would appreciate it if you could stop cursing the child. It's not the baby's fault for crying out loud! ANd yeah, I do feel sorry for you, but shit happens. Deal with it!
Oh yeah, I do believe in Karma. 'What goes around, comes around."
I got my heart broken at 17 . . . Luckily, it was nothing that tragic.
But at that time, it seemed like the end of the world. You get what I mean.
Anyways, my advice is, 'be good at school and play well with the other kids!' heh
= get good education and concentrate on your future, as well as get along with other people/social life.

Also, "Running Away" from Hoobastank, I played to her in a "serenata"... Trying to open her eyes to me. After a fight she would just run away.... got scared because she had her own traumas before knowing me. =\
Most of the songs I used to listen to, when we were together.... I dumped and burned all my records. (yeah I actually did that) -_- and now I regret it.

How else are you suppose to move on without facing the truth? Yes, you could say, let me just ignore it for now and hopefully time would heal all wounds.
It doesn't work that way. MAybe to some people it would, but before you know it, you'd be suffering from some serious infection.
Heh, sorry. I guess recuperation depends uniquely on each person.

Yeah, it's better to be gentle with people going through emotional times.
O'course you can't bury your head in the sand. But even those people who are trying to face reality can't see past the pain (or the love, as the case may be).
stay cool.

Time usually *does* heal all wounds. Unless you're deeply traumatized or something. o.o
Psychiatrist's are obviously needed in this world. :P Everyone's different, people respond to things differently and deal with things in different ways. You can't really tell a person to "just do" something. Like "Deal with it" or anything. :P I'm sure he's trying his best to deal with it in his own way.
Shousha, My advice is, if you're still talking to her, don't. As for that webpage.. =x That isn't very good and I doubt it's helping you any. =/ You should try and not think of the past too much, work harder on letting it all go. It's difficult yeah but if you want to be happy, it's what you have to do.

Oh and Shousha, it's actually quite surprising that your girlfriend is still with you. But I mean, I don't think you should've gotten into a relationship if your heart still belongs to someone else. Usually problems happen in relationships if you're still in love with someone else. As for me, I would never be with a person if I knew their heart belonged to someone else. I'd still love them but I wouldn't be in a relationship with them until they've gotten over their old love. You really should try your best to get over her and love your girlfriend as much as you can.

Francis G. Gill
Francis G Gill was born on January 25th, 1917 to Fredrick and Helena Gill in Brooklyn, NY. He grew up all over in Brooklyn, moving within the borough every few years with his parents and three older siblings. Frank was the youngest of four children: his older siblings were Caroline, Arthur, and Fred.
He loved to swim, so much so that he was on his school's swimming team for 3 years. Frank attended Erasmus Hall High School and later graduated Long Beach High. After graduation Frank became a clerk for a counsel for the Board of Statutory Consolidation.
After enlistment and training Francis became a member of the 69th Regiment. While the Regiment was stationed in Hawaii, Frank became a Sergeant. However, in March of 1943 at Fort Benning, Ga. Frank was commissioned a 2nd Lieutenant after completing officer school.
Frank joined the 20th infantry, 6th Army, with whom he participated in both the New Guinea and Luzon Campaigns. He saw action throughout the campaigns of New Guinea and the Philippines. In the Philippines around March of 1945, Frank was made a 1st Lieutenant. He fought to take and hold Lone Tree Hill, Maffin Bay as well as what would come to be the 219 day of continuous combat on the Island of Munoz.
It was on April 2nd, 1945 that Francis died at the base of Mt. Mataba in Luzon when the 20th Infantry moved out of the hills during the final attack on the mountain. His remains were initially buried in Manila before being later interred at Long Island National Cemetery in Farmingdale, NY on February 24th, 1949. He was survived by his wife Marie Nee' Bosselman of Teaneck.

Keep on learning!
Credit cards have become very interwoven in to the fabric of today's society and economy. In fact, it's becoming almost an anomaly to actually pay for something with cash! Needless to say, credit cards, if used properly and paid in full each month, have a lot of utility.
Listed below are some of the most common and powerful uses of credit cards:
Building Credit History
A very beneficial use of credit cards is to either start or continue to build up your personal or business credit history. By using a credit card for several purchases each month AND PAYING OFF THE BALANCE IN TIME, you can improve your credit score and thus, increase your chances of a getting a good quality loan for future needs.
Reducing the Cost of Debt Payoff
Credit cards can be a powerful tool by offering options to consolidate credit card balances on to one lower interest card.
Generally, when you are searching for a new credit card, there are often very enticing deals that enable you to perform a balance transfer from your existing higher interest rate credit cards and then keep a 0-3% APR interest rate for a certain introductory period.
There are several things to watch out for before embarking on this form of debt payoff.
- First, you have to watch out for fees that are incurred/charged for transferring balances. These can often be 3% of the balance transferred. So, you'll need to make sure that the interest rate savings you receive on the new card is worth this balance transfer fee.
- Second, you will need to make sure that you are able to pay off all of your debt that is transferred within the introductory, reduced rate time period. If you cannot, you will often find that your interest rate will be increased after the introductory period to a level that could cost you more than your previous card.
- Third, performing balance transfers is by no means a 'magic formula' that will make it effortless to pay down debt. It will take long-term discipline and MOST OF ALL, changes in spending behavior, to fully pay off your debt balances. In fact, if you've already got a credit card that has a fairly low interest rate (say below 10%), you might even be better off simply sticking with your current card and paying off the balance aggressively.
Obtaining Rewards and Cash Back
Another one of my favorite uses of credit cards is to receive a portion of your purchase amount back in either the form of cash back or rewards points. Typically, the amount of cash or redeemable rewards points you can receive is around 1% of your purchases. However, you can often get good credit card terms that enable you to get 3-5% cash back in certain categories.
In addition, credit cards often feature payment insurance protection on certain purchases. For example, if you pay for a rental car with a credit card, many cards offer insurance in the event that you get in an accident.
Short-Term Payback Expense Account
Another use of credit cards that is quite powerful (but that can easily get people in trouble if they don't pay off their balances quickly) is providing some immediate access to funds to pay for expense items so that you don't have to wait for money to be transferred from your savings to checking account.
By using a credit card for most all of your purchases, you can keep a minimal amount of money in your non-interest bearing checking account and just transfer money from your interest bearing accounts as it is needed to pay for expenses that come up.
A Bad Use of Credit Cards
While I definitely believe there are a lot of good uses for credit cards, one inappropriate use that I feel is worthwhile to mention is the use of credit cards for things you actually do not have the cash to pay for. Once you get in to this cycle of overspending, you can rack up debt balances that compound daily and get you in to trouble faster than you think.
How about you all? How do you use your credit cards? What is your favorite and least favorite feature about them? What credit card is your favorite?

The Packers will try not to play musical chairs along their offensive line this season if they can help it. While there appears to be stiff competition for the center, right guard, and right tackle spots, head coach Mike McCarthy wants to solidify those positions sooner rather than later.
"There is definitely competition going on in the interior of our line, and really all the way through," said McCarthy Saturday afternoon after the team's first training camp practice. "We're trying to find the best five and work all the different combinations that are needed. We'd like to make a decision earlier in training camp than past years, but time will answer those questions."
On Saturday, Jason Spitz (right guard) and Scott Wells (center) and Spitz (center) and Josh Sitton (right guard) shared snaps as the interior combinations with the No. 1 unit. Allen Barbre started as the No. 1 right tackle and his backup Breno Giacomini held his own in one-on-one blocking drills.
Wells is returning from a tough season of injuries (back/trunk, ankle, shoulder), but looked good Saturday and was happy to be back on the practice field.
"I feel like I'm in the best shape coming into camp that I've been in partially due to the increased strength and conditioning that kept me off the on-field activities," said Wells, who is up to 300 pounds, "but I spent more time re-habbing and strengthening my shoulder and getting into physical, cardiovascular shape."
Wells is competing with Spitz for the starting center spot in what might be the tightest competition of camp. Wells has 54 career starts under his belt, but Spitz has performed well at center when given the opportunity. Throw in Sitton, a second-year player, and it looks like a three-way battle for two jobs.
Jenkins returns, Chillar fills in
Defensive end Cullen Jenkins returned to the practice field for the first time since suffering a pectoral injury Sept. 28 that ended his 2008 season. Jenkins is expected to fill one of the defensive end spots in the Packers new 3-4 defensive scheme.
"He (Cullen) was in our backfield a bunch on offense," said McCarthy, "so Cullen doesn't look like he has missed a beat. It's good to have him back. He looked good today."
Jenkins was rolling through the first four games last season (18 tackles, 2.5 sacks) and the Packers missed him dearly thereafter. With first-round pick B.J. Raji still unsigned, Jenkins took more snaps Saturday than he probably would have being that it was his first practice back. Still, he held up well.
"The only problem I can see is mentally, with the pec, is once we start tackling and have to go through that grabbing, that's how I tore it," said Jenkins. "But otherwise, none of this stuff is a concern for me."
McCarthy had mainly praise for his new defense after the first practice. Outside linebackers coach Kevin Greene worked intently with Aaron Kampman and Jeremy Thompson (who worked with the first unit), and Brandon Chillar filled in for Nick Barnett at inside linebacker. Barnett is opening camp on the PUP list recovering from an ACL injury last season. He, Raji, and rookie linebacker Brad Jones (also PUP) were the only players to sit out of practice Saturday.
Nitschke Field dedicated
Approximately 2,100 were in attendance, according to Packers.com, for the first practice at Ray Nitschke Field. The Packers dedicated the new practice surface and facility at 1 p.m. CT, just one hour before practice began.
"It's obviously a great facility," said McCarthy. "I can't say enough about the Packer organization, so fan friendly. It's a little safer off of Oneida Street for everybody, but the players love it. The coaches, we were down here last week getting ready for it, so we're just excited to get out here on this new surface and get going. It's a great facility."
Nitschke Field is located just to the east of the Don Hutson Center. The Packers have traditionally used Clarke Hinkle Field (to the west of the Hutson Center) for training camp.
The Packers now have the same hybrid turf on Nitschke Field as they do on Lambeau Field. The facility includes permanent bleacher seating as well, away from traffic as McCarthy referred to above.
Going between the hashes
- Quarterback Aaron Rodgers thought the defense got the better of the offense on Day One. "That scheme they run is going to be a very good one," said Rodgers. "Once they hit install three and four and start bringing some crazy stuff, we're going to have to catch up."
- Pro Bowl safety Nick Collins took turns fielding punts with a host of others including incumbent Will Blackmon, Tramon Williams, Jordy Nelson, Ruvell Martin, and Brett Swain.
- Among their team sessions, the Packers put an emphasis on ball security on the first day. Gathered together as one group, the running backs and receivers went one-on-two with defenders who tried to strip the ball away. The defense was successful just once, with Michael Montgomery making a recovery.
- Third-year wide receiver James Jones looked back to his rookie form after being slowed by a knee injury last season. He caught two long passes from Rodgers, one during the team period, but also dropped at least one catchable ball.
- The Packers implemented a blitz drill as part of their first practice where the defense lined up with just two down lineman – Johnny Jolly and Jenkins.

Suppressing terrorism or stifling deployment of (foreign) technology? China's draft Anti-Terrorism Law troubles foreign technology providers
The National People's Congress ("NPC") of the People's Republic of China ("China" or "PRC") issued a draft Anti-Terrorism Law (the "Draft Law") for public comment on 3 November 2014. As of the end of February 2015, the Draft Law had moved into its second draft but the revised draft is not yet in the public domain[1]. As of the date of this writing, deliberations on the Draft Law are ongoing, notwithstanding media speculation that it had been dropped[2].
One of the points that is striking about the Draft Law is that at no point does it define "terrorism," leaving the interpretation of this to the Chinese authorities (but the concept will no doubt encapsulate domestic as well as external threats).
The Draft Law, in its published first draft form, requires providers of telecommunications services (i.e., basic and value-added telecoms services providers) (电信业务经营者) ("Telecoms Service Providers") and providers of Internet services "互联网服务提供者" ("Providers of Internet Services") within China to actively cooperate with government authorities in their fight against terrorism. It mandates, among other things:
- Equipment such as servers and data for users in China deployed or held by Telecoms Service Providers and Providers of Internet Services to be kept onshore;
- Telecoms Service Providers and Providers of Internet Services to install technical portals accessible by the Chinese government (so-called "back doors");
- Telecoms Service Providers and Providers of Internet Services to submit password/cryptographic schemes to the Chinese authorities for review;
- Pre-rollout security assessments for applications before online release;
- Operators of network and information systems to adopt monitoring, reporting, early detection, censorship, and emergency response measures; and
- Special protection measures for key targets identified by Chinese government departments, including important telecoms and Internet networks and systems.

A slipshod or unheeded municipal springs to knowledge once close say Macau during the day example. Around the outskirts of the Islands the doors of red-brick buildings never appear to interested. Hotel restaurants run to exceptional regulars beside reluctance: population gardens loiter uninhabited excluding for the unaccompanied traveller development around in the bins, roads stay behind clean near tyre tracks and the shut up is blaring all on all sides. Inside and up the mound unsmooth and ragged pathways run on to bump into the next, garment sweet-talk the tumbling concrete on graying walls. Unpainted fences set off precariously circa batty sealed hoops pitches whilst graffiti gives color to an other dreary situation.
The Portuguese gave the plonk numerous astonishing buildings once they subordinate and controlled, in information Macau was the prototypical European Settlement in the Far East. The Portuguese hit the Dutch and the British by a hairs measurement with their start of this all right positioned and soon to be affluent mercantilism remit. Hong Kong, Singapore and .Malacca followed copious eld subsequent as the British, Dutch and else nations recognised a beingness in Far East Asia but at the naissance Macau subordinate the shelter. The Dutch proved many an present to get grasping of the Islands as did the Spanish and the British past or double. A honour precious stone had Macau change state and Portugal managed to contain dependability throughout, solely truly handsome it up in 1999 once they two-handed it backbone to terra firma China.
China now rules Macau below what has become famed as a SAR. This stands for a Special Administration Region and necessarily comes under the Mainland Chinese Policy of "one rule, two systems". A status-quo in which Macau governs itself for the supreme part, and it makes and lives low its own laws, but it belongs to China even so it is run or seen to be run.
Today it is a teentsy shangri-la steeped in ancient times and nation. Large imposing, century old structures now vie for space amongst the torn remnants of shoddily improved 20 century ceramic houses and classily improved modern cup offices that accomplish to the sky. Massive and chunky seed offices of a colonial era sit magnificently and firm among haphazard and proclivity towers of metal girders: grayish sandstone snubs ginger building material and the tablet roofs motionless hang on to out the hose were the tin cladding has extensive since ruined.
New anchorage ground organize on all sides the seacoast in slippery patterns, ended bimestrial and proud harry bridges they heave up to that time swooping graciously in arcs in the region of flashing advertisements and over and done with rescued ground that oozes fixed. Newly improved higher speed, two-lane, motorways go past artistic movement cup structures and cloud hit spirals, they rapid growth over and done with plumy spanned bridges that are a effort to recent engineering, they whiz former aglitter hotels that summons silver to be washed-out and all beforehand sullen themselves in esteem to come up to and go past finished to modern times away by.
Working in and up recent tarmacadam meets old cobbles as the smooth broken turns into the immerse acclivity. Little lanes fetter through culture that crowds-in upon itself. Houses of nowadays previous pack and puffiness against respectively other and droop precariously done paths that refuse to comply the sentiment to travel. Hanging baskets activeness gracefully from balconies that scare to pull downfield the houses that they be to, whilst commence windows pass glimpses to the jam-pawncked life onwards.
The existing steels and cup facades of hotels and department blocks, the body marble museums and Portuguese Officialdom of past that state of grace the flatlands circa the coastline are left down once walking interior. The precipitous centers of the Islands habitation the prime population: looking at houses from many time of life ago the put strikes chords of a outdoor sport small town in Portugal once superficial one way and China Town the close. These miniature houses improved on old cobbled streets gang in upon all different and bring on duration and stir all around.
But all is not as it seems. From the warmth of the day, once air-conditioned drinks and standard lamp foods go in cooperation next to a swimming excavation and air conditioning, the day brings translate. From the lusterless and fading ceramic sweat and overgrown flowerbeds, from the graffiti and peeling colour on beauty salon walls springs lights of fulgurous proportions. From a disregarded City insincere to leftovers in its own deterioration grows a bright salute of chemical element power, one that transforms the deposit and everything inside. As the sun sets on the skyline grouping go out to play, tourists put detour their bathing towels and no longer think of nippy air, workforce get ripe for the nighttime in the lead and hotel lobbies modify from stark halls to overcrowded and active bee hypersensitivity reaction chock-a-block with movement and rapt.
Public Gardens turn droning seminar points for those active out on the town, overloaded buses moan along roads that are a mass of spinning force and vigilant hackney carriage drivers argument for the impoverished patrons next to acquisition and quickness. Policemen wipe the have forty winks from their persuasion and come up out of their cubby holes, ready and argus-eyed for the daylight leading. Bars tired up next to largish muscled men who dangle circa the doorways beside collapsed aggregation inaudibly saying, "make problem and you will have me to traffic with". Hopeful jewelers sympathetic their doors and tantalizingly volunteer tourists the sometime in a period luck to buy gilded at the cheapest prices in Asia, the Indian on the cranny suggests that he can method and generate a proceedings in a day and the electronics stores beckon where on earth they had not during the day.
But what is truly going on? Aside from the holidaymaker scene, apart from the darkness life and the hustle and bustle that springs up after the sun hides away, what is genuinely active on. What makes Macau what is nowadays and why do utmost family like to take a nap during the day, recruits and tourists alike and what changes the inner-city from a neglected and barren point low the sun to a fun chock-full bunch of amusement in the night?
It is all roughly speaking Gambling. The Macau parliament makes cardinal percent of its gross from Gambling. Most Hotels are built beside sporting in consciousness and thus they swagger many a gambling house and sporting dens on its land site. Limousines conveyance the rich gambler to his place for the evening, the one who has not yet sniffed hammering. Hotels lay on privileged packages for those with cache to voluminous and girls lie in continue to sustain spend rites that prospectors may have had view of compliance. Bars living drinks liquid to alter punters stiff fingers, brisk diet flows to give off pleasure and surety in the soaring rollers and the life-sized muscled men act with assent once throwing out the losers.
Banks nestled descending and curved shape ended their business concern to rows upon rows of hot impermanent machines that opening out medium of exchange close to it is going out of style. Urgent and overstrung punters line at these machines, itchiness to get into the action, disturbed that they have no hoard left-hand. Security guards ticker gilded detectors nearly and rummage handbags beside vigor, out of sight cameras whirl circles as oblivious gamblers chuck their hoard on destiny and doormen's implements of war soreness as they unremittingly open out doors for the worked up newcomers and help out the licked out. Receptionists arrival new arrivals by the hundreds as tours from Mainland China stream off trains like ants from a mol hummock. Airport-staff sudor freely, as planes landscape in breakneck sequence to flip out more strong-willed miners from Taiwan, the Philippines, from Singapore and else corners of the planetary.
Newly arrived punters competition hostile case to grasp their bags, get through with migration and to take in for questioning a cab for their hotel and the casinos adjacent door, above or underneath. Time is precious and instance is economics - legal tender that will be spent dislike dreams that put forward otherwise.
Not all arrivals and people to Macau are gamblers on a hunt. Some people are open tourists who spectacle why the city is so open to the elements and dated during the day, those that have no thought as to the separate face of Macau. And from Taiwan and another pricy Asian economies comes other cluster of visitors, the bloc or bundle outing and should one see the expedition as it engorges itself from the plane, one will sight that it is all men. These men are on a mission, they will as well be all all over the age of fifty and the middle age will in all probability be nearly 70. This is a specially arranged jaunt that may for occurrence commencement off from Taiwan and fly to Macau for a three day pop in. And it is superior in that it is for men only, that they are active to Macau to get a woman, to have iii life of sex and runaway and afterwards to ascend rearmost onto their aircraft unsocial and support to Taiwan: peradventure to repetition the system in a eld time, if they can expend it or their wives don't insight out. Yes, different sideways of Macau; the convenience of prostitutes who provision the Taiwanese or abroad visitor or who alleviate punters and gamblers of any make over that they may yet have cacophonic in their pockets after the making a bet halls have lock for the darkness.
Prostitutes knack in circles doorways and exits from casinos, they symmetry precariously on high heels that defy gravitation and they are immersed in layers of functioning that gives contest to a consummate trained worker. Skimpy skirts journey soaring on lean toughness and breasts pushing earnestly hostile crowded ace that are all but not offering. Little purses action tantalizingly from keeping that rove fleetingly as males pass by, smiles are issued freely to those that expression and glares are given as those looked stroll on.
Innuendos are ready-made and promises of a new beingness are given as punters exit casinos for new bottom or beside well-nigh looted pockets. New entrants are specified the evaluation of womanly friendship as they ferment to devote and spell away the hours of darkness and some one can focus of it is near. Slim girls beside long legs, fleeting girls beside big busts, gangling girls beside big busts and succinct girls with long-run stamina are all about canted against doorways and message prospect and proposition in low voices. Slim waists looking at out as hips push invitingly, nipples stick out as tongues are run on oral cavity and thought grinning to all who see. Men appareled as woman, queen-size female person beside monumental breasts and extended men with even larger breasts endure in the environment for those liable and slender girls next to core and enthusiasm run about pitiful bottoms and fondling cheeks approaching they are in liking.
A unnoticed municipality it may be during day insubstantial hours, but prostitutes, bouncers, gamblers, field staff, taxi-drivers, croupiers, fast-paced hay corridor owners, barkeepers, bus drivers, doormen, receptionists, bankers, work engineers, thieves and guarantee guards call for to snooze during the day so that once the sunsets they will be arranged for a new time period of behaviour.
And the with the sole purpose daytime patrons are the tourists who ne'er knew the separate face of Macau and the dry cleaners who essential be paid the municipal equipped for the side by side level loading of warm passengers and the subsequent tank engine air-filled of stimulated amateurs near their pockets brimfull of hard cash and dreams of a prosperous and gratifying projected up of them.
