DEP is conducting a comprehensive green infrastructure benefit and cost evaluation. By directly monitoring different types of green infrastructure as well as using data from literature review, DEP is working to identify and quantify non-stormwater benefits. Some of the benefits DEP is working to identify and quantify are:
The study will also identify and quantify the life-cycle environmental costs and economic costs of the green infrastructure projects being studied. These benefits and costs will be added to a database to support comparisons and evaluations of green infrastructure used throughout the city.
Nine different green infrastructure projects are currently being monitored: right-of-way bioswales, green roof, blue roof, a bioretention area, a constructed wetland, and porous pavements. The study will be completed in 2014.

Date & Time: 23 April 2013, 4 PM
Place: Healy Senior Center, 456 Briceland Rd, Redway, CA
I. Call to Order: Meeting Ground Rules and Opening Comments from President
II. Roll Call: Suzanne Beers, President, Vice President, Member's Rep; Julia Minton, Treasurer, Members' Rep; Noel Soucy, Secretary, Programmers' Rep; Nella White, Members' Rep; Jordan Jumpshot, Programmers' Rep; Antonia Lamb, board-elected; Marcy Stein, Programmers' Rep; ex officio member: Jeanette Todd, Station Manager.
Absent: Siena Klein, Vice-president, Members Rep.
Also Present: Jama Chaplin, Rohn Jennings, Jack Frybulous
III. Approval of Minutes: (March) Approved with several additions. Six votes in favor and one abstaining (Noel).
IV. Approval of Agenda Julia moves to approve the Agenda with additions. Marcy seconds. Approved unanimously.
V. Open Time: Speakers will be assigned an amount of time not to exceed 5 minutes
Jama Chaplin- Two points she would like to make. She hopes that eventually we will be able to use the Music Server discs to permanently archive some of the shows. Every once in awhile there are shows that want to be kept forever. Mostly talk shows need to be archived forever. Bylaws- the Board must assure equal access to the airwaves. Maybe it means policy, or communicating with management. We need more young people on the air. There are some programmers that have an awful lot of hours out of the month. She doesn't know why we wouldn't want to freshen things up and get some of the back log of people that applied for shows at least into the rotation.
Rohn Jennings- Very concerned about the survival of KMUD. He is concerned that the direction of KMUD may have taken a turn that is not sustainable. He thinks that we shouldn't be serving Eureka, and we need to focus on Southern Humboldt. Our support has always been in Southern Humboldt. He believes our transmitter up north was never paid for by the people up north. He would like us to focus more on Southern Humboldt. He wants to see us sell the transmitter up north to an organization that would be interested in buying it. KMUD has grown into an unwieldy organization. A board meeting should not last more than 90 minutes. Management should be carrying out the directives of the Board. Small is beautiful. Its one of the reasons that a lot of us moved here. Its what created KMUD. It's a natural tendency for organizations to want to get bigger. But we need to focus.
Jack Frybulous- DJ for 5 years, lived here for 8 years. Two items- He noticed on the first page of the packet his real name, and he wants to respectfully ask us to use his dj name instead of his real name if possible. The signal in Southern Humboldt has been degrading, it is much inferior to what it once was. This is for an analog radio.

Law enforcement would like to talk to the hikers. Where did they find the dog?
From a HCSO press release of 5/15/2013: The Humboldt County Sheriff's Office and Shasta County Sheriff's Office is seeking assistance from the public with the identity of two hikers who were on the beach at the end of Lighthouse Road, Petrolia on Wednesday May 8, 2013 during the late evening hours.
Investigators were aware on the night of the homicide that the Miller family pet "Gigi", a tricolored Dachshund, was unaccounted for. On Monday May 13, 2013, Humboldt County Detectives learned that a woman from the Petrolia area was in possession of Gigi. This subject was contacted and it was confirmed the Dachshund she possessed was Gigi. The woman told detectives she was on the beach at the end of Lighthouse Road in Petrolia during the late evening hours of Wednesday May 8, 2013. Two hikers were walking off the beach and were carrying Gigi. The hikers said they found the dog and were not able to locate an owner. The woman offered to care for the dog and took possession of Gigi. Names were not exchanged with the hikers and their identity is not known. It would be greatly beneficial to this investigation and the search of Shane Miller, if the location Gigi was originally found was known.
The Humboldt and Shasta County Detectives are asking the persons who located Gigi call the following numbers to provide that information. Shasta County (530-245-6025) or Humboldt County (707-445-7251).
Gigi remains in the care of the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office and arrangements are being made for the safe return of Gigi to members of the Miller family. Gigi was in excellent health when she was found by the hikers and injury free. Attached are photographs of Gigi.
Update on Search for Miller
The search for triple homicide suspect Shane Miller continues this morning. Efforts are a continuation of yesterday's tactics, consisting of foot searches in the King Range trails and door to door searches of residences and cabins in the Petrolia, Honeydew and Shelter Cove communities. As a reminder there is a 5:00 PM community meeting scheduled at the Honeydew School. The King Range Conservation Area remains temporarily closed to all recreational activities.
Agencies and Resources Assigned
Humboldt County Sheriff's Office, Shasta County Sheriff's Office, Trinity County Sheriff's Office, SWAT Teams from California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation at Pelican Bay and High Desert, Fortuna Police Department, Humboldt County Drug Task Force, California Highway Patrol, Humboldt State University, Eureka Police Department, helicopters from the California Highway Patrol and Homeland Securtiy.

then join us for Community Movie Night in the KMUD front yard as dusk falls. Bring chairs, blankets and snacks. See you there!
Freedom of expression and communication are fundamental human rights
Today World Press Freedom Day (May 3), we salute thousands of Community radios that exercise their right to communicate. Radios that work in diverse conditions, bringing together ideas and perceptions that are transformed in innovative communication processes. Community radios being managed by women, indigenous communities, youth groups, in urban and rural areas.
For the World Association of Community Radio Broadcasters, AMARC (Association Mondiale Des Radiodiffuseurs Communautaires), freedom of expression and communication are fundamental rights, recognized in international treaties and that should be guaranteed as such by all democratic states. These rights including fair and equitable access to the media, should be protected and extended in the context of rapidly evolving transformations introduced by new information and communication technologies.

V. Open Time: Speakers will be assigned an amount of time not to exceed 5 minutes
BR Graham- BR thanks us for hiring our new Station Manager. She is personally looking forward to great things from all of us, and is delighted for the new leadership. BR and Dian (who couldn't be here) both endorse the idea of a Transition Committee.
George Monroe- George likes Jeanette's style, and thinks she is going to be great in the position. George is concerned that people who hang out at the station have some dysfunction. George would like to see everyone rise to the situation to help keep the station safe and successful. George thinks Jane is getting a lot of mileage out of our dysfunction. George feels that Jane is financially and legally a liability to the station.
Dan Glaser- Dan is back. He has a cane. He came to talk about the financial fiasco and the signal upgrade. Dan wants to welcome our new fearless leader. Are we serving our community with high tech fiascos and grant dependency? Are we prepared for a disaster or are we the caboose on the next high tech train wreck? The finger shouldn't be pointed at any one particular person. We pissed away (pardon his French) two properties, and we are going to go the way of KZYX if we don't fix things now.
Cynthia Click- Is stoked we hired Jeanette. She is really excited we are moving ahead on the Library. She is stoked on the trainings that are going on. She is bummed about the theft of a big pile of vinyl, and she is going to put the rest of the vinyl under lock and key. Cynthia locks the front door when she is in the studio late night. She would like programmers to lock up at night when they are in the studio to try to stop the thievery.
Felix is really pleased we hired Jeanette and didn't vacillate forever. Felix is also delighted about the Signal Upgrade.

Tis the Season: Pumpkin Donuts
It's that time of year again everyone. The summer temperatures start to dip. The leaves start to change color (at least here in NH). People with out of state licenses spontaneously pull over at the peril of other motorists to snap pictures of the foliage. Oh, and oh yeah, restaurants and stores start to roll out the fall themes food and beverages. Specifically, we get some tasty treats over at Dunkin Donuts like their Pumpkin muffins, donuts, and lattes.
Yeah, I'm the kind of guy that looks forward to these things. At the same time, I survive the year on what is, in my humble opinion, one of the better donuts available: the blueberry cake doughnut. Still, even I like to mix it up, and this time of year gives me the spicy and satisfying pumpkin doughnut. It's your standard cake doughnut with a nice glaze, but Dunks really captured that deep pumpkin-y flavor in the pastry. Give me two of these, and a small Coolatta, and i am in a very happy place on a blustery autumn day. Here's to my favorite season folks!

ballymahon vs champions
Ballymahon Vocational School were crowned All-Ireland Senior 'D' Football champions when they cruised to a most emphatic victory over Tipperary opponents Ballingarry Presentation Secondary School in a disappointing one-sided final played at O'Moore Park, Portlaoise on Tuesday of last week.
With the exception of a rather shaky start when only a fine point-blank save from keeper Jack Fox denied James Burns a goal for Ballingarry SS in the 3rd minute, it must be said that the superior Ballymahon VS side were never in serious trouble and ended up winning by the wide margin of 12 points.
On top in most positions on the pitch and who were particularly strong in attack, the well drilled Leinster champions produced a far better brand of football (great credit is due to the joint managers Conan Casey and James Galvin) and from the moment corner-forward Conor Dillon fired home a cracking goal midway through the first half the writing was on the wall for the ragged Co Tipperary outfit.
Sean Kelly played the perfect pass into Dillon, who made no mistake in planting the ball in the back of the net to leave Ballymahon VS in a comfortable 1-5 to 0-2 lead, and they went close to scoring a second goal in the 20th minute when John Tumelty had his attempt blocked down.
The Munster title winners showed some promise in a tight first quarter and only trailed by the minimum of margins, 0-3 to 0-2, with 12 minutes gone on the clock. Padraic Hayes (free) and Dylan Walsh got the Ballingarry scores while Thomas McGann, defender Shane Farrell and Tumelty were on target for Ballymahon VS.
But the talented team with players drawn from a number of clubs in the south Longford area and neighbouring Westmeath gradually got on top and following a further point apiece from Tang lad Tumelty and Brendan Wallace, the crucial only goal of the game materialised in the 15th minute.
That proved to be a shattering blow which stunned Ballingarry Secondary and while they hit back with a brace of points through Dylan Walsh and Padraic Hayes, Ballymahon VS kept their momentum going with a couple of great points from Sean Kelly, who was always a threat at full-forward.
Despite squandering a few other chances in the first half, the eventual winners of the Brother Edmund Ignatius Rice Cup were still in a strong position at the break - leading by 1-7 to 0-4.
Early second half nerves were settled when the lively Conor Dillon weaved his way through to land a very good point in the 36th minute but Ballymahon VS had no reason to worry as Ballingarry SS failed to register a solitary score on the changeover.
Having said that, it took a timely interception by commanding full-back Michael Cahill to prevent the Tipperary outfit creating a goal opportunity in the 38th minute and moments later netminder Jack Fox was alert to the danger in advancing off the line to beat James Burns to the ball.
But Ballymahon VS quickly regained the upper hand with points from Kenagh duo Thomas McGann and Brendan Wallace in the space of a minute and a further couple of scores followed from Shane McGoey (a free and a fine strike from play) to establish a very cushy 1-12 to 0-4 advantage with ten minutes of normal time remaining.
Prominent centre-half-back Conor Farrell, much to the fore in the winners defence along with Michael Cahill, then averted the danger as Ballingarry went in search of a consolation score and both teams were reduced to 14 players in the 57th minute after a brief fracas which resulted in straight red cards for Shane McGoey (BVS) and his opponent Joedy Sheehan.
It mattered little at this late stage and just for good measure Sean Kelly landed a mighty long range point for Ballymahon VS in the final minute of normal time.
Inspired by captain Enda Farrell at centrefield, and vital contributions also from wing forwards Thomas McGann and John Tumelty, this was a complete performance from a fine team who won the All-Ireland title in some style.
BALLYMAHON VOCATIONAL SCHOOL: Jack Fox (Ballymahon/Forgney Gaels); James Higgins (Kenagh St Dominic's), Michael Cahill (Carrick Sarsfields), Karl Farrell (St Dominic's); Sean Doherty (Carrick Sarsfields), Conor Farrell (Southern Gaels), Shane Farrell (St. Dominic's, 0-1); Brendan Wallace (St Dominic's, 0-2), Enda Farrell (Carrick Sarsfields, captain); John Tumelty (Tang/Maryland, 0-2), Shane McGoey (Carrick Sarsfields, 0-2, one free), Thomas McGann (Kenagh St Dominic's, 0-2); Conor Dillon (Millmore Gaels, Westmeath, 1-1), Sean Kelly (Carrick Sarsfields, 0-3), Justin McCormack (Carrick Sarsfields).
Subs:- Thomas Lennon (Tang/Maryland) for J McCormack (44 mins); Niall Casey (Southern Gaels) for S Doherty (47 mins).
PRESENTATION SECONDARY SCHOOL BALLINGARRY: Adam Kealy; John Walsh, Thomas Pollard, Keith Cleere; Joedy Sheehan, Ciaran Mockler, Cillian Tuohy; Aidan Buckley, Darren Prout; Niall Keane, Dylan Walsh (0-2), Jamie Walsh; Padraic Hayes (0-2, one free), Cathal Mahoney, James Burns.

Beautiful bergs!: Arctic overflights yield inspiring images

What is happening in our world? Who is discovering what? What is going on now? These are questions that will be answered. Enjoy.
Beautiful bergs!: Arctic overflights yield inspiring images
NASA's Operation IceBridge is the largest airborne survey of Earth's polar ice ever flown
During my very first visit to the Arctic, the Sun did a lazy 360 above Tromsø, Norway each day. It was summer, and I was simply entranced by the midnight sun.
But I wasn't really bitten by the Arctic bug until a visit the next winter. And what really got me was the light.
Yes, the Arctic light in winter.
Although the Sun doesn't rise for months at a time at that time of year, before it comes back (and also just after it departs) it spends a fair amount of time transiting just below the horizon. And so in January in Tromsø, the magic-hour light of sunrise and sunset lasted for hours, even without the Sun actually rising above the horizon.
On snow-covered slopes ooverlooking Tromsø, and in the low, bluish light, the landscape was reduced to a Zen-like essence.
The photograph above captures that same feel, I think. It was taken on April 21 of this year from a P-3 Orion aircraft during an overflight of Greenland, part of NASA's Operation IceBridge.
The light is not quite as soft as what I first experienced in winter atop that mountain in Tromsø. Even so, here too, everything is reduced to a state of etherial simplicity, akin to Japanese landscape art of the 14th century.
Operation IceBridge is NASA's longest-running airborne mission to monitor how ice in the polar regions is changing as the climate warms. This year's springtime survey of Arctic sea and land ice began on March 22. It covered the western basin of the Arctic Ocean and Greenland's fastest-changing glaciers. It concluded on May 2.
The surveys are repeated annually so that scientists can monitor regions that have been changing rapidly in recent decades. This year's Arctic campaign included 20 flights lasting about eight hours each.
NASA has been posting photographs taken during the flights to Flickr. For this post, I thought I'd offer a selection of photos showing icebergs.
Iceberg mosh pits:
This photo was taken just off east coast of Greenland on April 19, 2018. A jumble of large bergs have broken off glaciers flowing off the Greenland ice sheet, seen in the distance.
Another jumble of bergs is seen here floating near an island along Greenland's east coast. The photo was taken on April 19, 2018.
Shadowing the ice:
In the low light of springtime in the Arctic, shadows are long. Here, a large shadow (from an unidentified feature) approaches an iceberg, as photographed during an Operation IceBridge flight on Apr. 19, 2018.
Cracking up
As seen in this photograph, a large iceberg has shattered the surrounding layer of sea ice. Make sure to click on the image and then click again to enlarge it so you can explore fine details. Flat floes of sea ice with fresh snow on top, areas of open water that are beginning to refreeze, and neighboring smaller icebergs, are all visible in the photograph. It was taken on Apr. 21, 2018.
The Zen of Arctic light
Okay, clearly this is not an aerial photo of an iceberg. That's me on the slopes above Tromsø, Norway this past November.
A much taller peak is visible in the distance, with a faint pinkish blush of sunlight on its ridgeline.

I mean I feel like we've all been in positions of just "being a squirrel trying to get a nut", but umm, this is a little ridiculous. Haha. I mean, this officer didn't even try to conceal the fact that he was a New Mexico State Police Officer — muh-fucka kept his utility belt on the whole time! Haha. TAX DOLLARS AT WORK. And from this looks of it, this dude was srsly putting in some work — shit, for all I know he was doing "over-time" lol, I kid. LMAO, I almost forgot, there's a chihuahua watching the entire act in the video, lol, if only dogs could talk…
But no foreal though, when they figure out who this dude is, I can't wait to hear what his excuse is gonna be…"Your honor, I attempted to arrest this woman, but she was resisting — I just had to bust her back out…I'm sure you understand" or "She threatened me, so I pulled out my weapon" — or something, all valid reasons to be doing this so whatever. Lol.
Oh lord, the world is so funny.
God bless our men in blue.

These are tough days for public schools. Districts across the state are facing cuts while legacy retirement costs explode. School leaders are forced to make incredibly tough decisions about curricula, consolidations, furloughs, and extracurricular activities.
There are plenty of reasons to fret about the future, especially as charter and magnet schools continue to erode limited tax support for our public schools. It is especially worrisome for new and prospective educators, particularly those graduating this spring as countless districts are cutting teachers.
Against this frightening backdrop, it is important to be reminded of some history. We have not always had free public schools available to all in Pennsylvania or the rest of the United States. Think about that for a moment. Can you imagine a community without public schools?
Much of what informed the framers of the Constitution can be traced to William Penn. His views on religious freedom, representative government, and the value of education profoundly influenced the founders.
This year marks the 175th anniversary of Pennsylvania's first free and public educational system, founded in Upper Darby. It was born of the spirit of the Revolution. Yet it took more than a half-century after the founding of the country to be realized, and 119 years after the death of William Penn.
In recognition of this milestone, I invited Lou DeVleiger, superintendent of Upper Darby schools, to visit Susquehanna University for an occasion when we honor students who feel called to teaching. He was outstanding in describing his own call to education, the extraordinary impact good teachers have, the need for teachers to keep learning, and of the value of humor for keeping it all in perspective.
Upper Darby is a large, diverse district that serves students from 60 countries and from homes where 70 languages are spoken. In one poignant story, DeVleiger described a new immigrant student who was ably and admirably learning English. He asked, "Mr. DeVleiger, what does it mean to be 'pretty ugly'?"
The funding and state of American public education today might well be described by the phrase pretty ugly. We are bombarded by reports that our place in global comparisons is falling. The same goes for educational attainment, test scores, and drop-out rates. And then there are the fiscal challenges.
It's a pretty ugly picture for new graduates. Yet Devleiger made it clear that education remains a vibrant and special profession that makes a great difference. He lifted up these bright and committed budding teachers with his words and example.
As I closed the program, I reflected on the historic importance of the creation of free public schools. I told our future teachers that Thomas Jefferson called farming the most noble profession. Were Jefferson alive today, I postulated that he might call teaching the most noble profession of the 21st century.
While our public educational system is under fire, let's not lose sight of all the good its teachers and schools have brought to our nation. Let's also not forget the critical role our founders imagined for education. Jefferson said, "If a nation expects to be both free and ignorant in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be."
We need our public schools because they create the educated citizens necessary to sustain the experiment in democracy that started here in Pennsylvania 236 years ago. We need great teachers, like those Lou Devlieger inspired at Susquehanna, to take up this noble work.

Injured Pit Bull Enjoys New, Loving Home
Earlier this summer, Bitsy the pit bull went through some challenging times. She ended up at the Atlanta Humane Society after someone stuck a hunting knife in her head.
An emergency surgery saved this pit bull's life, and she was known around the Atlanta area for what happened to her. Donations, emails, calls flooded in to help with Bitsy's situation.
Now, several months later, Bitsy gets to enjoy Thanksgiving in her new home. She plays with squirrels, jumps on the couch, and enjoys going for car rides.
Chris and Michelle Rabold, Bitsy's new owners, read what happened to Bitsy and were shocked that someone could actually do something this cruel to a dog.
The couple applied to adopt Bitsy and would check their email every night to see if they had been accepted by the Atlanta Humane Society to adopt the recovering pit bull.
Finally, Bitsy's owner gave up custody, and she was available for adoption. The Rabolds met Bitsy and a few days later, she joined their family.
"We have a real soft spot in our hearts for pit bulls," Chris Rabold said. "They get such the bad rap. But we would have adopted her even if it was a dachshund. She's got this old soul quality, you can see it in her eyes. There's something special about her."

We had a fabulous wedding Saturday at the St. Regis in Monarch Beach. Erin & TJ, bridal party and families were such a pleasure to work with throughout the day. This first post concentrates on the decor and the amazing transformation of the Pacific Ballroom. The design theme of the wedding was a 40s style Jazz feel with an art deco flare done in all black and white with small touches of red. The entire room was draped in white fabric, carpeted black, with a black and white glossy dance floor with the couple's crest gobo. There were also two levels built around the edge of the ballroom so it terraced the dinner tables down to the dance floor. Even the railing was art deco and it felt like you were in a Jazz Club. There was a full orchestra band which had amazing range from the classics to Michael Jackson. Stay tuned for the second post this week, enjoy!
Below is the amazing vendor line up:

Christopher Aldama – Fiori Fresco

July 2009, West Hollywood, CA
Beauty exists where fashion meets utility and nowhere was this more evident for the autumn/winter season than with designers' take on fur. From sleek street chic to sublime sophistication, the versatility of today's fur fashions makes fur more wearable than ever. For daytime or nighttime, with jeans or evening wear, fur will be an integral part of any wardrobe for years to come.
The popularity of fur on the runways continues as leading designers recognize that fur is a branding "must" for all luxury lines. Designers are creating fur fashions and accessories in various styles and price points to meet the growing demand for fur across all demographic segments. And fur is being recognized as a smart fashion investment due to its versatility and wearability and its luxury appeal.
Capturing one of the key trends of the season, Oscar de la Renta's long haired mink vest can be worn just as easily with chic evening wear as it can with casual day attire. Prabal Gurung, with his first eponymous fur collection for Global Furs, features a zippered broadtail jacket that is playful and flirty yet chic and timeless. A bright colorblocked sheared-mink anorak by Chris Benz gives new vitality to a classic look for long-term wear.
Dennis Basso's broadtail cropped jacket with drawstring waist and sleeves is a classic look with a modern twist and an elegant accent to any wardrobe. Catherine Malandrino's silver metallic motorcycle jacket brings a sexy edge to her provocative fashion message with a look that is strong and versatile. Both established and emerging fur designers take fur to new creative levels this season, creating exciting dramatic collections that are sure to make fur a fashion must-have for fall 2009.

The following rules are always true in IE bounding box of getClientRects is always the same as getBoundingClientRect The width and height of getBoundingClientRect is always the same as offsetWidth and offsetHeight. However, http://www.w3.org/TR/cssom-view/#offset-attributes says it should return the border edge. In most cases this is the same but once again tables with captions roars its ugly head. The border edge of a table with a caption does not include the caption and therefore the rules above do not hold true.

Peering through the large window at the circle of ballerinas, I watched my 3-year-old daughter Holly tendu in the middle of the studio. All of the dance students were wearing identical black leotards, pink tights and pink ballet shoes. Following the teacher's lead, they did a plié to music from Swan Lake.
Holly toe-walked away from the circle toward the window until she reached the barre that was partially obstructing the glass. She repeatedly ran her hand slowly along the wooden surface of the barre. I moved my index finger back and forth rapidly only inches away from the glass, trying to motion her back to the group. But Holly continued to run her hand along the barre. If it weren't for the glass separating us, I could almost touch her. My daughter was oblivious to the stares of the other parents, but I heard the whispers. One father was worried what the performance would look like at the end of the year if she couldn't even stay in the circle during class.
Six months earlier, knowing Holly was different from other girls her age and unsatisfied with doctors who were convinced she had just a language delay, I did hundreds of hours of medical research. That led me to suspect she had an autism spectrum disorder. I knew then that I also had autism. We share the main characteristics of the disorder: impaired social interactions, repetitive routines and sensory challenges. A clinical psychologist tested both of us, and we were diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder on the same day.
When I was a preschool-aged ballerina like Holly, I enjoyed running my hand down the barre and imitating my teacher's graceful moves. The soothing sounds of classical music were a haven compared with the erratic noises of everyday life. When Holly was barely 2 years old, she couldn't verbalize it, but I knew how much she wanted to do ballet. Every night before bed, she flipped to the page filled with pink objects in her favorite board book, My First Colors, and pointed to the ballet shoes and tutu. She learned her first ballet moves from Peppa Pig and Angelina Ballerina. She had to wait a year until she was old enough to join the youngest ballet class in our area.
I watched her running around the dance store fascinated with the mannequins in colorful leotards and tutus. I had strict instructions from the ballet studio staff to buy a simple black leotard, and pink ballet shoes and tights. The young ballerinas were also discouraged from wearing a tutu, so they would be less likely to admire themselves in the mirror. I followed the rules, even though it took all the fun out of choosing an outfit.
On the fourth day of Holly's ballet class, my husband came home early with her.
"What happened?" I said.
He looked over at Holly, who was humming and dancing around our kitchen.
"They removed her from the class because she wasn't participating enough," he said.
I called the woman who was in charge of the studio that day. "Couldn't my daughter's applied behavior analysis therapist, who goes with her to preschool, attend ballet class with her?" I pleaded.
"The ballet director said she isn't willing to make any accommodations," she said.
With tears rolling down my face, I hung up the phone. How could they exclude Holly? I never saw her happier than when she slipped on ballet shoes. Holly deserved a place in that class. I was furious. I imagined the bad reviews I could write on the ballet studio's website and thought about calling back with threats to write about her exclusion in the newspaper.
I held on to that anger for a couple of months, before I learned to let it go. A studio that wasn't willing to make accommodations for Holly wasn't the right place for her. In the process of letting go of my anger, I stopped blaming myself for her autism, which had haunted me since her diagnosis, even if I never admitted it. I began to focus on helping her navigate the world as an autistic girl, an experience I could relate to.
I talked to the principal at Holly's preschool about offering dance classes. It turned out she was already looking to hire a ballet teacher. Within a month, Holly and her older sister Noelle (who doesn't have an autism spectrum disorder diagnosis) started a combined ballet and tap class at their preschool. When I went with my girls to the dance store to buy tap shoes and a full ballet outfit for Noelle, we picked out colorful tutus, which were encouraged in the new class.
The class started early in the morning, before I went to work. Some days Holly ran in and executed a better pirouette than any of the other girls in the class. Other days, she refused to step into the room. The dance class was held before her ABA therapist arrived at the preschool, so I went in with Holly when she needed me. Kneeling behind her in a pantsuit, I shadowed her while gently moving her arms and legs. Holly smiled as she watched her limbs move like a puppet in the mirror to the rhythm of the music.
At the Christmas performance a few months later, she stood in the middle of the stage perfectly still. She looked beautiful with her hair in a bun and her Cinderella-like dress with a satin black top and flowing cream-colored bottom. Holly stared off into the distance while the other ballerinas, including Noelle, danced around her. The expectation of dancing in an unfamiliar room, with the ballet teacher guiding her from below the stage (not to mention the large crowd of parents and grandparents staring at her), was too much for her to handle. But she didn't cry or complain, and I was proud of her. She did the best she could given the change in routine.
Holly's exclusion from a ballet studio didn't exclude her from ballet, and our bond became stronger when I found a more inclusive place for her to dance.Now, we'll always have ballet connecting us.

Typically, the jazz nominations for the 45th Grammy Awards are a mix of prime choices, vaguely defined categories and entries that belong elsewhere.
On the prime side, there is the classy best jazz instrumental album lineup. It's hard to go wrong with a grouping that includes Wayne Shorter, Dave Douglas, Michel Camilo, McCoy Tyner, Herbie Hancock, Michael Brecker and Roy Hargrove.
The best large ensemble album category is almost as good, balancing the traditional big band sounds of Sammy Nestico, Slide Hampton and the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra with the adventurousness of Dave Holland and the Mingus Big Band.
And the best Latin jazz category offers similarly diverse choices, from the lighthearted Caribbean Jazz Project and the Brazilian jazz of Duduka Da Fonseca to the Cuban rhythms of Jane Bunnett, the urban sounds of John Santos and the envelope stretching of Omar Sosa.
Matters get dicey in the contemporary jazz category. Nothing wrong with Larry Carlton, Pat Metheny, John Scofield, the Yellowjackets and Joe Zawinul, but what definition places them in this group? If there's a contemporary jazz category, should there also be a traditional jazz category?
So, too, for the best jazz instrumental solo, always the vaguest jazz segment. Brecker, Hancock, Metheny, Pete Christlieb and Tommy Flanagan are fine players, but what definitions make their solos more worthy than thousands of other recorded improvisations?
Finally, the best jazz vocal album category is even more mismatched than usual. Etta Jones is a blues singer, no matter her material; Patti Austin and Natalie Cole are excellent pop artists working in jazz settings; Luciana Souza is a talented jazz vocalist, but in this album she sings Brazilian songs. Which leaves Diana Krall as the sole full-time jazz entry. She, at least, is represented by her best outing in years. Go figure.

How much is SR22 insurance in WA?
The cost of SR22 insurance in WA can vary widely between companies because each company rates your auto insurance differently. There is the cost to file the SR22 which is approximately $25 but that is not the only additional cost for the filing.
When you need to file an SR-22 it is often the result of a traffic violation such as driving under the influence or leaving the scene of an accident.

OUNDLE — There's always some good that comes every year. I get great pleasure out of those little celebrated innovations. Here are a few of my favourite from this past year.
The end of tinned food — My twelve-year-old daughter asked me what a can-opener looks like and how to use one. As a child growing up in Canada last century, and here in the UK too, no one could make it to 12 without a good knowledge of watery peaches, and corn, and spam…
But we can buy all that fresh in shops now. That's gotta be progress.
America let's poor people be sick — Universal healthcare is common in almost every country I have lived in. Now the United States get it too. Who would have thought it. And all without too much rending of garments.
I sat with a very successful retired Doctor at a baseball game in Cape Cod this summer. He explained why the US didn't need universal healthcare. "They say 30 million people don't have health cover. But I know about 25 million of those are illegal immigrants anyway…"
Yes, it didn't work for me either.
Indestructible footballs — I don't know why I find this strange. But one of Sting's buddies is pushing the idea of footballs that cannot be broken, punctured, etc. to give to kids in war zones. I am still not convinced this isn't a hoax. No question it is a nice sentiment, etc. But the idea that your whole village and family could be wiped out… but at least you'd have a football…?
I'm not sure.
My Quote of the Year — "People say stupid things. Get over it."
So says my very large, black American friend who is virtually the only black executive in his mid-western town.
I wish I could share his sentiment more often. In other words I wish that I wasn't affected by what people said. And I wish I never said stupid things.
Geeks of the world, unite — There was a breathless link on Twitter this week. "You can now wear your handle," it said. Which sounds a bit awkward to civilians. But in fact, it was this: http://survivalofthehippest.com/
I had long thought that this was the worst that things would get: http://www.fabjectory.com/
Well, maybe it is still the weirdest.
How has your 2009 been?
What do you wish for 2010?

Where is the best place to look for sperm within a testicle?
Answer: depends and varies case by case.
There are 2 strategies that urologists employ to maximize sperm retrieval rates in men with non obstructive azoospermia: the mTESE and the TFNA mapping. Both have advantages and disadvantages. I have adopted the mapping as my first step. It allows me to determine if sperm is present and where in an efficient and minimally invasive way PRIOR to committing the man to an invasive sperm retrieval procedure and the woman to IVF. When I find sperm on a mapping I can then proceed with confidence to the next step, the TESE. If I don't find sperm on a mapping, then I recommend mTESE

Study Helps Explain Why Low-Calorie Diets May Increase Life Span
By Denise Mann
WebMD Health News
Latest Diet & Weight Management News
Reviewed by Laura J. Martin, MD
April 27, 2011 -- Research has suggested that very low-calorie diets may increase life expectancy in animals, and now a new study in humans provides some important clues as to why this may occur.
In the new study, individuals who had higher metabolic rates -- the amount of energy the body uses for normal body functions -- were more likely to die early from natural causes than those who had lower metabolic rates.
The new findings appear in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism.
Higher metabolic rates may accelerate the natural aging process via the production of damaging free radicals. These substances are linked to many diseases of aging and may promote organ damage.
Researchers measured the 24-hour energy expenditure of 508 Pima Indian volunteers in metabolic respiratory chambers and the resting metabolic rate of 384 volunteers. Two hundred forty participants underwent both measurements on different days. Pima Indians are known to have high rates of type 2 diabetes, but none of the participants had diabetes when the study began.
During the 15-year follow-up period, 27 people died of natural causes. The risk of dying increased with the amount of metabolic energy expenditure. Those volunteers with higher energy turnover -- as measured by increased metabolic rate -- were among the most likely to die early, the study showed. The new study does not apply to energy expenditure from exercise.
"The results of this study may help us understand some of the underlying mechanisms of human aging and indicate why reductions in metabolic rate, for instance via low-calorie diets, appear to be beneficial for human health," says study researcher Reiner Jumpertz, MD, of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, in a news release.
Calorie Restriction
"Studies in animals show reduced metabolic rate after caloric restriction increases longevity -- that is what we know," says Spyros Mezitis, MD, an endocrinologist at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City.
"The new findings need to be confirmed in larger studies with similar methods," he says.
But "if you eat less than 1,500 calories a day, you have less energy expenditure so you have a lower metabolic rate, and, in animals, this results in an increased life span," he says.
"You have a higher energy metabolism if you have a lot of body fat," says endocrinologist Loren Wissner Greene, MD, a clinical associate professor of medicine at New York University Langone Medical Center in New York City. "Obesity increases risk of early death and the mechanism might have something to do with increased metabolic rate and free radical production."
"It's interesting association that they found between energy expenditure and what appears to be longevity, but it's hard to interpret what we should do and if it is generalizable to other populations," says Jonathan Waitman, MD, Comprehensive Weight Control Program at NY-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell.
"More study is needed," he says.

Workouts For Powerlifting Beginners
12 Foundational Exercises For Powerlifting Beginners:
Before you can become a powerlifting monster, you have to begin somewhere, and the basics are where you must start with these workouts for powerlifting beginners. Mastering the basic exercises described below will give you a foundation from which you can make gradual increases in power and strength over time until you reach your ultimate goals.
Nobody ever became a powerlifting titan overnight. It takes hard work, and most importantly, constant dedication over time. Like everything else in this world, if you cannot sacrifice and commit to excellence at a craft continuously over significant amounts of time, you cannot achieve greatness.
So read the article below to begin your journey to achieve your powerlifting goals!
Lots of guys want to be big and lift big weight. But you can't expect to go from 12-ounce curls to a 500-pound squat in one day. Here are some strength-building basics you need to know!
When guys make the decision to get fit, the goals aren't always to lose weight. Many newbie dudes have dreams of burly muscles and finally out-benching the captain of their high school football team. (So what if it's been 15 years?) Sorry to burst your hopeful bubble, but you can't go from complete inactivity to a 315-bench in one day. If you have illusions of powerlifting grandeur, you're going to have to start with the basics.
To start, get off your ass and go to the gym. If you're really new and have just started to engage in resistance training, you need a base. That base does not—and probably should not—be based on the power lifts only. The bench press, squat, and deadlift are definitely your bread and butter, but you need to have some meat and potatoes with your iron meal.
I'll help you pack your plate with essential strength-building lifts. Then, once you're through this article, it's time for dessert. Hit the gym and watch the guys who are bigger and stronger than you. Go to a powerlifting or Olympic weightlifting competition and try to rub elbows with some people who are really good. They'll teach you even more.
Yeah the deadlift, squat, and bench belong in your program, and you can even build your program around them, but they shouldn't be the only movements you perform. Along with the powerlifts, here are some simple exercises that I think are extremely effective for building a strength base.
Do these movements 2-3 times per week for 3-4 sets of 10 reps. Don't get overly concerned with using a lot of weight. Your focus should be on coordination and execution of the lift. Your last rep should look exactly like your first rep. If it doesn't, take some weight off.
Any sort of pressing movement will make a good base for your program. Presses will hammer your chest, shoulders, and triceps. Don't go in the gym and throw on a bunch of plates. Learn to do the movement right by going light, and keep your entire body tight! Generate force by pressing your heels into the ground and traps into the bench, and keep your elbows tucked.
You can do this exercise with dumbbells or a barbell. I prefer to do my overhead pressing work standing, but you can sit if you'd like. Overhead presses are fantastic. They'll work your shoulders and triceps and will aid your bench press. If standing, make sure to flex your abs and glutes to stabilize your entire body.
For beginners, I do not suggest learning how to kip like they teach in some CrossFit gyms. It's an OK movement if you want to learn it down the road, but you have to learn some of the basics first to build starting strength. Get on a machine that offers assistance or use a band that will give you assistance. Pull-ups or pull-downs are great for your lats and your biceps.
These guys are great for your lats and your upper-middle back. Bent-over rows can also help increase your strength for the deadlift. Because they're a free-weight exercise, bent-over rows also develop your core and lumbar strength.
Who doesn't like doing curls? Some coaches might scoff at me for calling curls a foundational strength exercise, but strong biceps make for strong pulls.
This exercise flies under the radar for some reason, but it's a fantastic exercise. Just grab a pair of dumbbells—40s, 60s, or even 100s—and walk with those bad boys in your hands. You'll work your grip, your arms, and even your cardiovascular system.
Squats belong in everybody's program. Your quads, hammies, and glutes will get a workout, but so will your heart, abs, and back. If you're not currently squatting below parallel, drop the load and start focusing on form. You'll get a lot more from deep squats with a proper amount of weight than quarter squats with too much weight.
Deadlifts are perfect for sports or just to kick ass in life. They'll teach you a lot about your body. They'll help you increase muscle mass throughout your entire body, which will them burn more calories so you're less fat, and help you develop total strength.
Any form of lunge is great. Lunges work your hams and quads and will stretch your hips out. In lifting weights, we often don't have the opportunity to move around a lot. So a walking lunge is a fantastic, healthy movement.
There are coaches who have a fit about these machines. Don't worry about that just yet. These exercises can be great accessory movements around your big lifts. However, if extensions hurt your knees, don't do them. That's what's great about exercise: There's always another option!
If you want, do one upper-body day and one lower-body day per week to start out. As you feel better, increase the number of times you go to the gym. You can also change the workouts so that one day you do a squat, one day you do bench press, and one day you do the deadlift. When you're done with those big movements, utilize some of the above assistance movements.
If you want to be strong, you have to put in the effort. Get off the couch and work hard in the gym. Put a lot of intensity into every lift.
You also have to eat to build muscle. For your macros, try to get one gram of protein per pound of body weight, one gram of carbs per pound of body weight, and shoot for 1/2 a gram of healthy fats per pound. These are guidelines, not rules, but they're a great base for growth.
To get big and strong, you have to eat, sleep, and train hard with consistency. Keep it simple so you can stick with it!

Inside Tire Paints
Inside tire paints are applied to the inner liner of uncured tires to provide the necessary slip required to allow the curing bladder (membrane) to locate easily inside the uncured tire during the shaping process. High slip at this point of the process aids the bladder to conform to the contour of the inside of the tire, thus ensuring a well-centered tire and the elimination of trapped air. All these factors are important in ensuring minimal curing defect levels and optimum tire uniformity. At the end of the curing cycle Chem-Trend's inside tire paints provide the effective release needed to remove the tire from the bladder without problem.
The use of an inside paint is necessary in the manufacture of high quality uniform tires.
Chem-Trend supplies the following four categories of inside paints.
- Filled inside tire paints
- Specialty filled inside tire paints
- Unfilled inside tire paints
- Durable inside tire paints
All inside tire paints manufactured and supplied by Chem-Trend are water-based, providing solutions that are centered on health, safety and environmental (HSE) concerns.
Filled Inside Tire Paints
Chem-Trend's advanced filled inside tire paints have been specifically formulated to provide maximum levels of slip as well as air bleed during the shaping process to ensure defect free tires. The shaping process is the point when the curing bladder is initially inflated inside the tire. A high level of slip is needed to ensure the tire is centered on the curing bladder, thus ensuring good tire uniformity. Special fillers are incorporated into the formulation of this family of products to help evacuate any air that becomes trapped between the tire and the curing bladder during the shaping process at the start of the curing cycle. At the end of the curing cycle, Chem-Trend filled inside tire paints provide the release needed to efficiently and cleanly remove the tire from the curing bladder.
These products are intended to be applied to the inside of each tire prior to the curing process. Application to the inside of the tire may be by various automated or hand-held spray methods, brush application or by wiping with a sponge. The actual application selected by any given customer depends on equipment availability and individual tire plant logistics. The most common method of applying the products is by automated spray systems.
Specialty Filled Inside Tire Paints
Chem-Trend recently introduced a new family of high performance water-based filled inside paints based on a unique blend of raw materials. The carefully balanced ratios of these components allow users to employ lower coating weights (compared to conventional filled inside tire paints), which improves finished tire appearance. Even at these lower coating weights an ever-growing list of customers are reporting greatly reduced inside tire-paint related defect levels and a significantly enhanced bladder life when compared with the results of competitive products. This family of products is particularly helpful in meeting the specific manufacturing challenges and customer appearance demands for high quality, premium run-flat and UHP tires.
Unfilled Inside Tire Paints
Chem-Trend pioneered the development of unfilled inside paints. These products are applied to the inside of each tire prior to the curing process, and because they do not contain any filler they help to provide the optimum cosmetic appearance to the finished tire. They provide outstanding slip, required to ensure good tire uniformity, and the release needed to remove the tire from the bladder at the end of the cure cycle. When using these products the pattern on the surface of the curing bladder is utilized to provide the air-bleed needed to eliminate any air entrapped between the tire inner liner and the bladder during the shaping process. Application to the inside of the tire may be by various automated or hand-held spray methods, brush application or by wiping with a sponge. The actual application selected by any given customer depends on equipment availability and individual plant logistics. The most common method of applying the products is by automated spray systems.
Because they do not contain any filler, optimum tire appearance is achieved with the inner and outer surfaces of the tires appearing clean. Any material that is accidentally transferred to the bead face or outer sidewall of the tire through over-spray, or by operators handling the freshly treated uncured tires, will not visibly mark the tire. The inner liner of the finished tire looks extremely clean in the racks of tire sales outlets, an important feature in many markets. OE customers appreciate the clean appearance of the tires.
Durable Inside Tire Paints
Durable inside tire paints are specifically developed to transfer to the surface of the curing bladder to provide a reservoir of slip-and-release functionality, allowing the release of multiple untreated tires between applications. The actual number of untreated tires between applications is determined by the logistics of each individual tire plant and the choice of its management. Chem-Trend works in close partnership with its customers to help provide the solution that best fits the requirements of their particular plant. The typical ranges in which these products are applied are between every third tire and every twelve tires.
Because these products are not applied to each tire they bring some specific benefits and attractions to tire plants. These include:
- The possibility of eliminating the large spray booths associated with the application of inside tire paint to each tire. This allows for the space they occupy and the labor they employ to be dedicated to more efficient use within the tire manufacturing process.
- Plants planning significant increases in production output can consider achieving this without the need to invest in expanding their capacity to spray tires, something that would usually be required when spraying each tire.
- Lower raw material usage, meaning less inventory and less space required to store that inventory.
- Very clean finished tire appearance.
As with the various spray-every-tire inside tire paints the application of durable inside tire paints may be by various automated or hand-held spray methods including spin-disk. These products may also be applied using a brush application or by wiping with a sponge nearby the curing press. The actual application selected by any given customer depends on equipment availability and individual plant logistics. The most common method of applying the products is by automated spray systems.
Chem-Trend has the largest range of durable inside-tire paints available to the tire industry.
To suit the individual preference of any given tire manufacturing customer differing versions of Chem-Trend's inside tire paints are available in tan, gray or black.

text: Things have become so grim in Phoenix that the front-office is having to apologize to the fans for the squad's on-court performance. From the AZ Republic: "After getting home at 2 a.m., Babby was quick to apologize to fans Wednesday morning when he began his weekly segment on KTAR-AM (620). Babby said he felt he owed the fans an apology on behalf of the team and pledged everyone in the organization would work harder to improve the team's outlook. 'If you're a fan that's a season-ticket holder or someone who comes and invests in our franchise or if you're vested emotionally, you have to be feeling what I'm feeling when I watched that game,' Babby said later Wednesday. 'You have to be feeling what I'm feeling when I watched that game. You're disappointed that we're not competing. It would wrong of me to sugarcoat that so I felt owed it to people to be candid. It's not acceptable to us any more than it is to any of you.' Babby, in line with Suns coach Alvin Gentry, talked about the need to compete more because he said the team is better than its record. 'I don't think we're playing up to the level of our talent,' said Babby, who said the difference in team chemistry is "stark because you're comparing to what was last year, which was magical.'"
