A unique method of teaching preschool children on the autism spectrum to communicate their needs is spreading to 14 Utah school districts this fall, including Logan, Park City and Granite school districts.
Based at Utah State University's Center for Persons with Disabilities, the ASSERT (Autism Support Services: Education, Research and Training) model utilizes applied behavior analysis — ABA — to change the challenging negative behaviors associated with autism.
"We teach them how to request things they want and need, to control their environment and get their needs met, so they don't have to rely on tantrums and aggression," said Thomas S. Higbee, ASSERT program director.
ABA works so well because it's based on science, Higbee said. Data gathered during ASSERT research projects have been presented at 60 state, regional and national conferences, and 18 research papers have been published. Fifty families have been served by the program.
"All the techniques have been carefully researched and refined over many years," Higbee said. "It's completely individualized based on each child's specific needs."
With a 1:1 student-to-staff ratio in the ASSERT preschool, children spend the majority of their time in their cubicles working with their instructors, said ASSERT program coordinator Lyndsay Nix.
"There is no down time," Nix said. "Everything they do is to facilitate social skills and interactions. They are always working on something."
Even during snack time, she said, the focus is not on eating, but on practicing social language and how to request what they want.
In August 2013, ASSERT celebrates 10 years of service to families with autism.

In the map you can easily spot it just south of the Yeu i do island(the big artificial island at the center). So it is not far from the CBD. There are 3 major department stores, a traditional open market, a lot of bars and cafes and a red district. But also there are a lot of small factories because it was one of the biggest industrial park in Seoul until early 80's(hey, OB brewery is still located there. You won't be short of beers ). The air is not great but you have tons of green and open space in Yu i do and in water front of Han river which is just 20 minutes of walk away. It is a great place to picnic, ride bikes or rollerblade. At the center of Youngdenpo is Lotte Department Store with a 5 screens(I think) multiplex cinema that is directly linked to subway and railway station. This is certainly not a upper class commercial district, but nevertheless it is fun to shop around and there are tons of places for a exciting nightlife.

I can no longer be bothered to lug my laptop around with me anymore, and I've also recently moved all my data to an external HDD, so to work properly, I would have to carry that round with me too. I do not (yet) have a spare box that I can just turn into a full-blown server to solve my document access issues. I want to be able to access my computer from anywhere, also I don't need a gui, so this will give you access to your machine as if you had opened a terminal.
However for those who want guis, simply add the "-X" option to each ssh command, forwarding the graphical server and allowing you to launch guis from the command-line, e.g. "mintupload ~/.profile". The disadvantage of this is it's platform dependent, you need to have an X server running on your guest machine, with means either linux, or mac with the server running.
1) install the openssh-server package (you might have to reboot afterwards). AK Dave recommends securing it, but I haven't got around to following his advice yet: http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.p ... sh#p148429
2) if you're lucky enough to have a static IP, you're done: find your IP by right-clicking on the network-manager, selecting connection info. You can now login to your machine using the following command from any remote linux box (look at Putty for windows):
Code: Select all
ssh email@example.com
3) get an account hosted somewhere that you can ssh into. In my case I'm using my department's servers, where we get a free account.
4) setup a "reverse ssh tunnel" from your machine to the server (PORT should be a high numbered, four figures, port on the server, e.g. 1234):
Code: Select all
ssh -NR PORT:localhost:22 firstname.lastname@example.com
Code: Select all
ssh email@example.com
Code: Select all
ssh -p PORT username@localhost
EDIT: just noticed this howto for securing the ssh server: http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=19183

Kaboodling: Jones' kiddie show gets syndicated
Peter Jones is one of those lucky individuals who figured out early what he truly loves. Fortunately for both him and the kids he entertains, he's been able to shape that love into a career.
Jones is the producer, host, and man behind the quirky character voices on WTJU's Sunday afternoon children's program "Tell Us a Tale." With the help of regular cast member Jen Hoffman and live music from the Jan Smith Band, every week Jones puts together a two-hour radio story time that has enchanted area kids for years.
Formerly known as "Kid N' Kaboodle," "Tell Us a Tale" started doing a monthly live taping session at The Prism last November.
"That has elevated the show to a whole new level," says Jennifer Bryerton, managing editor of AlbemarleKids, a sponsor of the program. Bryerton says she and her three-year-old daughter, Abby, never miss an episode.
"Having the audience participation is great fun and adds a lot of energy," says Hoffman, the source of the program's female voices.
The comaraderie between Hoffman and Jones seems to help, says Hoffman. "We are great friends, and I think that rapport comes through with the audience," says Hoffman.
Recently, "Tell Us a Tale" went into syndication. As of September, a 30-minute segment of the show can also be heard on KXRJ in Russellville, Arkansas. By the end of the year, Jones expects to add two or three additional stations.
After finishing college in 1990, Jones, now 35, was trying to figure out what to do with himself. "I knew I didn't want to do my background, which was American government and Russian history," he says.
Jones was writing plays and experimenting with acting when he discovered storytelling in 1995. His love of performance, however, started 21 years earlier when he was apparently typecast in his first on-stage role in East Street Elementary School's 1974 production of "The Elves and the Shoemaker." Jones, as one of the elves, reportedly heard the applause and promptly stole the show with his spontaneous improvisation.
A bit of the elfin mischief still hovers around the edges of his professional, adult demeanor. As his many young fans know, his reserve disappears when he's performing.
"I think it's the Peter Pan thing," he admits. "When I'm with kids, I get to do things adults might find frivolous or inappropriate. Once I get to perform, the inner child in me gets to come out and play."
"He genuinely loves performing with kids," Bryerton says. "Not just for kids. He's like one of the kids."
Despite having no children of his own, Peter Jones has dedicated his life to sharing the rich, imaginative world of folk and fairy tales with modern young people. For that we can all be glad he decided he didn't want to grow up.

Tested: The 10 Best Places to Share Video Online
Today's Best Tech Deals
Picked by PCWorld's Editors
Top Deals On Great Products
Picked by Techconnect's Editors
YouTube, now owned by Google, may still be the 800-pound gorilla of video sharing sites, but an impressive number of rivals--some merely clones, others offering unique twists--are nipping at its heels.
We whittled down an initial list of 50 contending services to 17 topflight sites we tested to determine the single best place to share your videos online. Blip.tv's video quality and functionality made it our overall Best Bet, but each free service has strengths in areas that others may not.
In addition, we list the top ten sites in our Top 10 Video Sharing Sites chart.
Video Quality Matchup
Video quality and embedded player design remain the major points of comparison, so we put together a special evaluation page on our PC World.com Web site so that you can judge the video from each service for yourself, side-by-side. (Caution: Our comparison page features ten embedded videos and may tax your system's resources. In addition, you may be prompted to download certain video players if you don't already have them.)
For our rankings, we also took into account policies on shared advertising revenue, potential audience size, the entire upload experience, and the design of each embedded player, including the intrusiveness of any advertising, watermarks, and other nonvideo elements. In addition, we considered social-networking options, the ability to make videos private, and other attributes.
How We Tested
Each site that we tested--those in our top 10, plus AOL Uncut Video Beta, Crackle (previously Grouper), Dailymotion, Facebook, Google Video, Metacafe, and Yahoo Video--will let you upload a variety of video types, but the only format supported across the board is QuickTime. Most sites don't limit video length or the number of videos you can upload, but many restrict file sizes to 100MB. Consequently, we used the same 1-minute-long, 95.5MB QuickTime (MPEG-4) test file with Apple Lossless stereo audio to test each site.
To gauge video quality and audio, we incorporated shots from past PC World Videos and Test Center footage from the Panasonic PV-GS500, our current MiniDV Camcorder Best Buy, in our 720-by-480-resolution video.
Top 10 Video Sharing Sites (chart)
The Web sites in our chart allow you to upload your videos for sharing with other connected users, through either the site or your blog, and some even share income with you. You'll find our in-depth chart of the top ten video sharing sites at the link below:

That Strong character, for whatever reason, felt a lot more like punching down than someone like Girl... at a Party, who also just felt a lot more realistic and amusing in general. It was clear why they might've needed to retire that one since it was done to death, but didn't think Cathy Anne was a worthy replacement. In general, Weekend Update felt like the weakest aspect of the show (they either need to just give it to Che or blow the whole thing up again, the set even looks awful).Brian C wrote:There were a couple others, like the "Black Jeopardy" with Tom Hanks or Scarlett Johansson's Trump-supporting dog. Both of those probably pointed to a more productive satirical direction that trying to spoof Trump or his administration directly.
I also liked Cecily Strong's Cathy Anne character on Update.
It's just hard to buy into any sort of chemistry between Che and Jost, and particularly after Meyers did it incredibly smoothly (particularly when it came to working with the characters) it's frustrating in its current state. Something tells me though that with our current political climate and the fact that they were delivering stale Trump one-liners on a weekly basis, Jost and Che are being rounded up to brilliant (I think I even saw an ad for MSNBC where Chris Matthews is interviewing the two of them and buttering them up about how ingenious they are). It's hard not to miss an era where the concept of Weekend Update was a buffoonish news anchor type (or types) instead of just trying to ape the now very tired Daily Show formula.

Consumers' credit card balances fell in December 2012, as concerns about the fiscal cliff overshadowed holiday cheer
The content on this page is accurate as of the posting date; however, some of our partner offers may have expired. Please review our list of best credit cards, or use our CardMatch™ tool to find cards matched to your needs.
Consumers' credit card balances fell in December 2012, as fears about the federal government's fiscal cliff appeared to outweigh more upbeat seasonal concerns about getting a parking spot at the shopping mall.
Revolving debt, which is chiefly credit card debt, fell at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.1 percent in December to $849.8 billion, after a rise of 0.8 percent in November, the U.S. Federal Reserve said in its latest G.19 consumer credit report. Looking at the full year of 2012, revolving debt was up 0.3 percent.
The December drop ended a series of months that saw modest growth in consumers' credit card balances leading up to the end of the year — typically a time of higher spending, as malls fill with shoppers and many people set aside their money worries temporarily.
Overall consumer debt, including revolving and nonrevolving loans, was $2.78 trillion in December, up from $2.77 trillion in November, on a seasonally adjusted basis.
The closeout month for the year was a departure from the rest of 2012, which saw credit card debt bounce up and down within a fairly narrow range, while nonrevolving debt — a category that includes auto loans, student loans and loans for mobile homes, boats and trailers — showed more consistent strength.
"Auto loans were particularly good — that's been a driver of consumer credit," said James Marple, economist at TD Economics. Car sales were up about 14 percent in 2012, and continued on that pace in January, pulling auto lending activity along for the ride.
The nonrevolving portion of consumer debt was $1.92 trillion in December, up 11.4 percent from $1.91 trillion in November. A year earlier, nonrevolving debt was $1.78 trillion.
The December pullback in credit card balances came despite gains in consumer income, up 2.6 percent for the month, and consumer spending, which rose 0.2 percent for the month, the government had reported earlier. The fiscal cliff, for all the worry it generated about the future, actually gave the economy a booster shot of income in December, as companies paid dividends early to avoid higher tax rates on dividends after Jan. 1, Marple said.
Headwinds seen for 2013
Economists said that the current year puts new obstacles in front of consumers that could rein in spending, and have unpredictable effects on credit card balances.
For one thing, higher payroll taxes began in January, hiking the bite from Social Security and Medicare by 2 percentage points – an average cost of $19 a week for typical earners, Marple said.
"I'm expecting to see a pretty big deceleration in the first quarter, in part because real income likely declined," he said.
People will probably respond by throttling back their savings, rather than ratcheting up their use of revolving credit to compensate for the missing take-home pay, he said.
But Michael Brown, an economist at Wells Fargo, wasn't so sure. "We could see a little bit more increase in demand for revolving credit simply due to the fact that many households may not be able to absorb this increase in the payroll tax," he said, "especially with gas prices rising."
Gas prices, which act something like a tax on household budgets in the short run, have been climbing recently as world petroleum prices stick at near-record levels. Average gas prices are $3.54 for a gallon of regular this week, having shot up 18 cents from the previous week, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Average prices are about 6 cents a gallon higher than a year ago, and Wells Fargo's forecast sees further increases.
Just what the impact will be on credit card balances is difficult to tell, but consumers ended the year showing little appetite for new credit. According to the Federal Reserve's recent survey of senior loan officers, demand for new cards actually fell at a significant number of banks in the final three months of 2012. Consumers continue to do an exemplary job managing their credit card debt, as credit card default rates reached a new low for the post-recession period in December of 3.53 percent, according to an analysis by Standard & Poor's and Experian.
Confident consumers?
Most analysts have downplayed a surprise drop in overall economic growth in the fourth quarter, putting it down to sharp decreases in government spending, while most private-sector activity steamed forward. GDP fell at an annual rate of 0.1 percent in the fourth quarter, according to the government's first estimate. If federal sequestration takes hold this year, with automatic cuts in federal spending, the blow to GDP could become more than a one-time event.
Robert Dye, chief economist at Comerica, said the economy's performance will depend partly on how consumers react to cross-currents of money pressures. While household income is taking a hit, improvements in home values and stock prices are boosting the overall wealth of many households — mitigating the income hit and potentially opening people's wallets. Recent readings of consumer confidence have been contradictory, he said, reflecting the mix of money pluses and minuses for household budgets and making it more difficult to tell how people will jump.
"It does look like the consumer hung in there in the fourth quarter," Dye said. "My concern here is how far the consumer is over their skis right now."

Ancient Viking Brachiosaurus?
by Chris Parker
Copyright 2012
Photo: From the latter part of this article; fully explained below.
Dragons; sometimes huge, reptilian, dangerous, sometimes winged, sometimes not creatures – are reported not as mythological but as real in every ancient culture on every continent. Of course, those creatures that we now call dinosaurs were also sometimes huge, dangerous, sometimes winged, sometimes not creatures – that lived on every continent. (Technically pterosaurs are not considered dinosaurs).
Among those ancient cultures who described living dragons were the Norse and that subset of the Norse culture the Vikings.
This is a test to see what the block tag does.
The Vikings
Painting: Just to be clear; the "dragon" on the ship's prow is not our subject today.
"The Vikings (from Old Norse víkingr) were the Norse explorers, warriors, merchants, and pirates who raided, traded, explored and settled in wide areas of Europe, Asia and the North Atlantic islands from the late 8th to the mid-11th century.
These Norsemen used their famed longships to travel as far east as Constantinople and the Volga River in Russia, and as far west as Iceland, Greenland, and Newfoundland, and as far south as Nekor. This period of Viking expansion – known as the Viking Age – forms a major part of the medieval history of Scandinavia, Great Britain, Ireland and the rest of Medieval Europe.
Popular conceptions of the Vikings often differ from the complex picture that emerges from archaeology and written sources. A romanticised picture of Vikings as Germanic noble savages began to take root in the 18th century, and this developed and became widely propagated during the 19th-century Viking revival.
The received views of the Vikings as violent brutes or intrepid adventurers owe much to the modern Viking myth which had taken shape by the early 20th century. Current popular representations are typically highly clichéd, presenting the Vikings as familiar caricatures.
- The Norse Dragon Tradition
Dragons are common in Norse lore; we associate viking raiders with dragon headed ships. However this is slightly misleading because Norse lore made no distinction between dragons per se and serpents. A serpent was simply a dragon without wings.
In Nordic mythology, the figure of the dragon was often used as symbol of material greed, and harbringers of destruction, that is to say: they acquired a clearly negative symbolism, (unlike some aspects of the dragon in Eastern mythology). Clearly this makes them excellent figureheads for Viking raiders!
One of the most important Norse dragons is Nithhogr. This creature lives at the base of the world tree Yggdrasil and gnaws at the roots, attempting to destroy it. Nithhogr also devours the corpses of the dead. The world serpent Jormungandr would also be classed as a dragon in Norse lore. Jormungandr – the Midgard serpent – lives in the waters curled in a circle round the world and biting his own tail.
Another well-known Norse dragon tale is that of Fafnir, who was turned into a dragon by his greed and who was slain by Siegfried. The hero Scandanavian hero Beowulf also fought dragons. Some have classed grendel and his mother as dragons, however they are more usually considered to be some form of troll".Dragonrama
An Antique Viking Diplodocus?
This "ANCIENT VIKING BRONZE ZOOMORPHIC PENDANT,RARE" is actually a pendant currently on sale on Ebay. It is a bronze, zoomorphic depiction of a long necked, quadruped with curled tail used as a connection for the wire to be passed through for a wearer. The item actually has "bumpy skin" in the manner of the sauropod dinosaurs we believe it represents.
Not much information is provided about the object other than that which has been provided above. The location of the seller is Latvia, the seller is gint5812 who has a 100% approval rating. I'm not providing a link because the item has been sold and I have no way of knowing how long the link will be active.
The item is a "pendant", approximately 3 inches from tail to nose. Is the item a real, antique Viking pendant? we can't prove it is, however the surest way to have an object declared a fake is to present it in the shape of a dinosaur.
We have additional views of the object as well as comparisons with modern depictions of a certain type of sauropod dinosaur.
Sauropod dinosaurs are probably the most easily recognized type of dinosaur. They are large, long necked with a stocky body and a long tail. However, there were differences among the various types of sauropods and we believe that rather than just generally identifying this ancient depiction as a sauropod I believe we can go even further and identify the specific type of sauropod dinosaur that is being represented.
Of course, sauropod dinosaurs supposedly became extinct over 65 million years ago.
Right we compare a side view of the artifact along with a side view of a brachiosaurus skull and a modern version of brachiosaurus.
Brachiosaurus has a distinctive shaped head among the sauropods; it has a "bulb" or a large bulge on the top frontal portion of its skull. Various artists and paleontologists have represented that bulge in a number of ways in modern depictions. The skull of diplodocus is longer and more horse like than is the skull of brachiosaurus. Camarsaurus and Euhelopus have more rounded skulls. We believe that this ancient, Viking artifact specifically represents what science calls the brachiosaurus today. A chart showing these sauropod skulls is provided a bit further down in this post.
A potential issue (among some would say, many) is that brachiosaurus is supposed to be an American dinosaur even though "related" dinosaurs and potential brachiosaurus remains have been found in Africa and Europe.
Does this prove that these Vikings made it to America? I'm not serious. One of the many differences that creationists have with evolutionists is that the need for isolated populations creates a bias for continent only dinosaurs. Creationists are not surprised when the same species appears on many or even all continents.
This grouping (photo) is not from Wikipedia and provides a comparison between the heads of modern depictions of brachiosaurus from fossil remains and a possible ancient eyewitness depiction.
"Brachiosaurus is a genus of sauropod dinosaur from the Jurassic Morrison Formation of North America. It was first described by Elmer S. Riggs in 1903 from fossils found in the Grand River Canyon (now Colorado River) of western Colorado, in the United States. Riggs named the dinosaur Brachiosaurus altithorax, declaring it "the largest known dinosaur". Brachiosaurus had a proportionally long neck, small skull, and large overall size, all of which are typical for sauropods. However, the proportions of Brachiosaurus are unlike most sauropods.
The forelimbs were longer than the hindlimbs, which result in a steeply inclined trunk, making the overall body shape reminiscent of a modern giraffe. Also, while the tail is a typical long dinosaur tail, it was relatively short for a sauropod.
Brachiosaurus is the namesake genus of the family Brachiosauridae, which includes a handful of other similar sauropods. Much of what is known by laypeople about Brachiosaurus is in fact based on Giraffatitan brancai, a species of brachiosaurid dinosaur from the Tendaguru Formation of Tanzania that was originally described by German paleontologist Werner Janensch as a species of Brachiosaurus. Recent research shows that the differences between the type species of Brachiosaurus and the Tendaguru material are significant enough that the African material should be placed in a separate genus. Several other potential species of Brachiosaurus have been described from Africa and Europe, but none of them are thought to belong to Brachiosaurus at this time."…Wikipedia
The Upshot
How do we account for the close match of the head of this artifact with the actual skull of brachiosaurus? Is this some quadrupedal, dragon like, reptile like (with "reptile" skin") and frankly brachiosaurus like object nevertheless a wholly mythological depiction? Is that the simplest explanation or is it more likely that the maker of this artifact was familiar enough with the animal to make even a stylized form of it–which others would also recognize?
There must be an infinite number of mythological animal shapes from which an artist could choose from. Wouldn't it be too much of a coincidence to believe that a purely mythological animal had nearly exact feature matches with a creature that allegedly became extinct 65 million years ago? "Behold now behemoth"!
Just for Kicks, Two Additional Viking Sauropods?
The same seller has another artifact, also described as an ancient Viking Zoomorphic bronze pendant, (rare). The location of the object is also Latvia.
The bidding has closed at $140.00. This artifact has the "telltale" head bulge on top of its head.
This piece can be associated with the seven others that we are showing below because they all clearly represent the same long necked creature. We are making what we believe is the proper identfication below.
"A stunning rare Norwegian sterling silver tea set. It is hallmarked with the 830S standard mark and the makers mark of David Andersen, Christiania (the name for Oslo pre 1924), and the date 1892. For those unaware Andersen is regarded as Norway's most sought after maker. It has been beautifully made being designed around a dragon theme. The teapot has a cast dragon spout and handle and cast dragon feet, the sugar bowl and cream jug have dragon handles and feet. Each piece has been engraved DK or KD as they are entwined.
Photo: Right 1910 Sauropod Drawing
It is in outstanding condition being free from dings splits and repairs. The pot handle wobbles a little due to the shrinkage of the natural insulator rings but this is very easy for a silversmith to put right and there are of course a couple of faint marks but nothing of any significance".
This piece sold for approximately $2,200. The date of 1892 means that it was created some 15 years after the bones were intially discovered in 1877. The head of the "dragon" matches the other six dragons from across time and around the world that we show below.
We do not need to suppose that David Anderson the maker actually saw a live sauropod-only that at that through that time the depiction of this dinosaur was known and rather consistently drawn and sculpted. The detail and style of depictions of these dinosaurs at tha time were nothing like the current versions of these creatures.
Remarkable Correlation Of Ancient Sauropod Depictions with Specific Genera of Sauropoda Across Time and Continents (How to Terrain Your Dragons?)
Here's that promised sauropod skull chart. Notice that cranial bulge on the skull of brachiosaurus? If there were in fact ancient depictions of this sauropod might we not notice today the long neck, dragon nature, long tail and the telltale head bulge? see story above.
We have been noting for some time that man and sauropod certainly interacted in the recent past.
Although in most respects these creatures are quite similar there are characteristics of the skull that might allow us to show not only that man was an eyewitness to living examples of these creatures but with specific genera of the sauropoda!
The 5,300 Year Old Mesopotamian Diplodocus on an ancient cylinder seal.
This ancient cylinder seal, currently housed at the Louvre Museum portrays sauropod like creatures as well as giant "birds" or pterosaurs. The seal is from Mesopotamia, approximately 3300 B.C. (Moortgart, Anton, The Art of Ancient Mesopotamia, 1969, plate 292., presumably seen by the artist.
I would ask that the interested reader note the points of similarity between a close-up of the "sauropod" depiction created by rolling the cylinder with the skull of Diplodocus Longus. This is the basis for me to call this creature and the consistent comparisons below diplodocus depictions.
Tang Dynasty Euhelopus
The Euhelopus skull is shown in the chart above. It is the skull in the top, left of the chart. Its skull is more rounded than that of either brachiosaurus or diplodocus. The artifact shown is more than 2,000 years more recent and on an entirely different continent.
Euhelopus; Source: Thinkquest.org
One of the big plant-eating dinosaurs similar to Camarasaurus, Euhelopus, or "good marsh foot," had a longer neck and nose. Like Camarasaurus, it had strong teeth that grew around its jaws.
Other dinosaurs of this type had teeth growing only in front. Euhelopus had large nostrils on top of its head. Because of this, some scientists think it had a long trunk. That would have made it look very strange.
Photo: Collection description: Tang Dynasty (618 A.D.-906 A.D.) nephrite jade finial in the shape of a bird's head (sic). It was probably used as a handle for a knife or other such implement. There is a bit of calcification on the jade, but it is an exquisite piece. It's in a private collection on sale for $5,500.00
Both Camarasaurus and Euhelopus were camarasaurid (chambered lizard) dinosaurs, with hollow chambers in the backbone.
Euhelopus was a little slimmer than Camarasaurus, but large members of the family may have weighed as much as 24 tons. The biggest could have been up to 50 feet in length – without trunk. From fossil remains, scientists believed they were at home in marshy land at the bank of muddy rivers or in swamps.
They would have been safer there than on dry or wooded land where big flesh eater roamed.
Location: Shandong, People's Republic of China
Size: Length- 50 feet (15m)
Classification: Family-Camarasauridae
Time: Late Jurassic
It may not be possible to readily identify the specific similarity of the Euhelopus sauropod depiction with that of the Tang Dynasty artifact. On the right we've placed the unedited drawing of the Euhelopus skull (except that we tinted it red) on top of the artifact for comparison. What do you think? Bird or sauropod?
Diplodocus, Right to Left, Around the World and Across Culture and Eras-Click to enlarge photo.
We believe that each of these depictions is of diplodocus, which has a flatter skull than does Brachiosaurus or the other rounder headed sauropods, Camarsarus and Euhelopus. There is a remarkable consistency between the depictions, whatever it is that is in the artist's eye. The depictions span a time period beginning 5,300 years ago through the Acambaro depiction of possibly the last 1,000 years.

A slightly corroded fragment from a late early-medieval/Anglo-Scandinavian cast copper-alloy cheekpiece (c. 11th century AD). The fragment is formed of a curved Ringerike style animal head and neck in profile, possibly a dragon or sea monster. The cheekpiece is flat and the neck is long and the head is set at roughly right angles to it. On the outer edge of the curve is a recessed protrusion, broadly semicircular with a small central knop and suggestions of losses behind. At the end of the head is a recurving hook, perhaps representing a horn. Below are three small lobed protrusions …
The piece (F) on the far right is Scandavavian, from the 11th century A.D. The piece on the far left (A) is from 3300 B.C.-and yet from left to right the open minded can see that it is always the same creature that is being depicted; long necked, fleshy nosed and often bearded.
(G) 1892 Norwegian Tea Set. (Described above)
A word about the noses. It seems that the noses portrayed here for diplodocus are "fleshy" when compared with modern depictions. Here is a idea why the ancient depictions could be more accurate.
Study Paints New Picture of Dinosaur's Nose. John Roach for National Geographic News August 2, 2001
A new study suggests that anyone who sits down to draw a detailed picture of what dinosaurs may have looked like will have to tweak the nose a bit to get it right. Usually the flesh-covered nasal passages of dinosaurs are shown toward the back of the openings in the nose bone. But Lawrence Witmer, a paleontologist at Ohio University in Athens, Ohio, says that's wrong, and the nostrils were really much closer to the front, just above the mouth, and were larger than thought.
Photo:Science Tries Fleshy Nosed Diplodocus
The finding, which Witmer reported in the August 3 issue of Science, is significant not just because it changes our idea of what dinosaurs looked like. It also has implications for how dinosaurs breathed, smelled, and regulated their body temperature and water loss.
"I don't know why we got it wrong for so long," said Witmer. "In general, the fleshy nostril the opening into the nasal cavity has escaped scientific inquiry." People have relatively small bony nostrils, so there's little doubt about where the flesh-covered nasal passages can be located to effectively do their job. The bony noses of dinosaurs, however, could have been more than two feet (0.6 meters) long, which leaves the placement of the fleshy nostrils open to interpretation.

Patrick Watson | 21/02/13
Having received an incredible collection of entries from aspiring film-makers since its launch before Christmas, Patrick Watson and creative group Genero have since announced the winner of the 'Blackwind' video-making project. Chloe Poirier-Sauve from Canada has had her beautifully well-crafted and fantastical video awarded the title of the single's official video.
Watch Chloe's video for 'Blackwind' below:
On choosing a winner, Patrick Watson had this to say:
"We never thought there would be that many good entries. Crazy. And of course, we couldn't agree on what should win.
"In the end, we decided to go with a video that impressed us with its artistic qualities. It struck us as more than a music video: it stands on its own as a work of art, which just happens to be inspired by our music. This wasn't an easy choice. Some we liked for the story, some for the beautiful images, some surprised us, others simply touched us. And they go in every direction, which amazes me: who would think one song could inspire so many different feelings and ideas?"

Gino Odjick enters the cafeteria at Vancouver General Hospital with the aid of a walker.
He's toting an oxygen tank and he shows the signs of two weeks of chemotherapy. At this moment, it's hard to reconcile the man you see with the enforcer who took on all comers and became one of the most popular players in Vancouver Canucks history.
But then he speaks. Then you know the fighter remains.
"I'm in good spirits and I"m going to do the best I can to fight this," says Odjick. "Just because it's diagnosed one way doesn't mean it's going to go that way.
"I'll let the chips fall where they may. I'm prepared. I'm not accepting it yet but I'm prepared."
Earlier in the day, his good friend Pat Quinn talked about Odjick's spirit; how, through his many battles on and off the ice, there was something indomitable about his former player. You still see this. It's hard when you see what disease has done to him, but there remains a big part of the man who will not be defeated.
Odjick has been told his time might be measured in months, if not weeks. In mid-April, shortly after the ceremony that inducted Quinn into the Canucks' Ring of Honour, he became short of breath. Two days later he was diagnosed with cardiac amyloidosis, a rare heart condition in which a protein, produced in the bone marrow, forms deposits in the heart. The form he has is considered terminal.
A heart transplant won't work. Neither will a bone-marrow transplant. There are experimental treatments in Europe but the best hope is doctors can buy Odjick some time.
"You don't think when you're 43 years old they're going to tell you you've got one year to live," he says. "It was the last thing on my mind. There's been a lot of soul-searching."
He's asked if he's found any answers.
"Not yet. All I can do is the best I can do every day. But there comes a point when I have to make plans to enjoy the last year and that's where we're at right now."
Odjick, of course, has lived a thousand lives during his 43 years. He was born on an Algonquin reserve just outside of Maniwaki, Que., before leaving to play in Hawkesbury as a 16-year-old. After two seasons with Laval in the Quebec league, the Canucks made him a fifth-round draft pick in the 1990 draft. Odjick would be called up from Milwaukee partway through the next season. He would play in Vancouver for eight years.
"The amazing thing about Gino is how fast he improved," said Canucks president Trevor Linden, Odjick's teammate through the '90s. "When he got called up we were thinking, 'How's he going to help us?' Then we saw how hard he played and his heart. And he kept getting better."
He wasn't a star. Odjick played 605 NHL games because he was a much better fighter than a player. But he could fill a third- or fourth-line role and in 1993-94, his most productive season, he scored 16 goals.
By then, Odjick had become a fixture in the Canucks locker room. He became close friends with Pavel Bure and something of a folk hero in Vancouver. Odjick didn't have a great deal of formal education but, according to Quinn, he had an unerring instinct for doing and saying the right thing in the locker room.
"He's a very sharp guy," Quinn said.
It almost goes without saying his former teammates have rallied around him. Quinn and Linden have been regular visitors to VGH along with Kirk McLean, Garry Valk, Geoff Courtnall and Stan Smyl.
Quinn, who's been in Toronto at Hall of Fame meetings, was asked about his relationship with Odjick.
"You know how I feel about him," he answered. "I've got to get out there (to VGH). I need to see him. I just need to see him."
"We all grew up together," said Linden. "He was such a lovable guy. I can't tell you how much fun we had. There was never a dull moment with Gino. I think that's what people loved about him. He's not a cookie-cutter personality."
That's putting it mildly. In retirement, Odjick emerged as both a business leader and role model in the aboriginal community. He's also battled substance-abuse issues as well as mental illness. He lost his father, Joe, in November, drove from Vancouver to Maniwaki, then checked into the psychiatric ward of Pierre Janet Hospital Centre in Gatineau. Que.
That story made national news. Shortly before Christmas, Odjick, who had 160 fights in the NHL, phoned me from Edmonton and talked about his battles.
"What's the difference between depression and concussions?" he said at one point. "It is what it is but I'm not going to lie down and die. I'm going to make a difference. They're telling me one thing but I'm going to fight with what have. I believe I'll live until I'm 150."
Later in that same interview, Odjick said his life's mission was to eradicate poverty among First Nations people. He said this matter-of-factly, the way another person might say their life's mission is to retire at 60. He travelled all over B.C. to aboriginal communities where he was treated like a rock star.
One friend tells a story about how Odjick connected with a 13-year-old boy up north. The kid had never been farther than Williams Lake and said his dream was to go the PNE. Odjick arranged to fly the family to Vancouver, but it was his reaction after this good deed that stayed with his friend.
"He told me we've got to reach more people," Odjick's pal said. "Some of these people have never had a chance. We have to give them a chance."
Says Odjick: "I really did the best I could do there, to create opportunity and to let people know there were opportunities. I'm really proud of that part."
And he's proud of his eight children, who remain his priority. They range in age from 11 to 27 — one son is named Bure after his former teammate — and most of them live back East.
"I'm going to go back East in a bit," he says. "I've got to spend some time with my kids. Then we'll go from there."
He understands his situation; understands this could be the end of his journey. But if he's feeling sorry for himself, he does a good job of hiding it. Whatever time he has left will be devoted to his children and his people. That's all that's important right now.
Come to think of it, that's all that's ever been important.
"It's beyond that now," he answers when asked if he's ever wondered, 'Why me?' "Now, it's what can I do to make this better."
"Hopefully, he fights for himself now," says Quinn.
And he will fight on. No matter how this ends, he will fight on.

CHICAGO (STMW) — The State Street Bridge was reopened after a man threatened to jump into the Chicago River caused traffic to be closed and the Shamrock Shuffle to be rerouted Sunday morning.
Police were first called to the bridge at 350 N. State St. for a well-being check about 6:50 a.m., police News Affairs Officer Jose Estrada said.
They encountered a man threatening to jump off the bridge, Estrada said.
The man was safely removed from the bridge about 8:30 a.m., Estrada said. He was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital for a psychiatric evaluation and no charges will be filed.
Northbound traffic on the State Street Bridge was reopened at 8:40 p.m. after closing due to the incident, said OEMC spokeswoman Melissa Stratton.
The race route was changed from Grand Avenue to Wabash Avenue, then on to Wacker Drive to State Street, Estrada said. The race will then resume its normal route, Estrada said.
Columbus Drive, between Roosevelt Road and Monroe Street, will re-open at 3 p.m., Straton said. Balbo Drive, between Lake Shore Drive and Michigan Avenue, will re-open at 1 a.m.

|This is the article on chapter 621. For other uses, see Hashirama and Madara (disambiguation).
"Hashirama and Madara" (柱間とマダラ, Hashirama to Madara) is chapter 621 of the original Naruto manga.
When the Tailed Beast Ball held by Hashirama Senju's humanoid creation collides with Madara Uchiha's Susanoo Sword, it explodes. As the smoke clears, a Susanoo-clad Nine-Tails is revealed ready to attack Hashirama as he emerged from his wooden defence. With Hashirama praising Madara, he quickly grabs the ethereal sword and counters with several additional hands emerging from the ground to suppress the beast only for the tailed beast to destroy with a swing from another blade. Not wanting the landscape of the current area to be completely decimated, Hashirama quickly retreats to the coastline prompting Madara to give chase. As the Uchiha charged another Tailed Beast Ball onto Susanoo's sword and throws it, Hashirama summons a set of barriers to deflect the attack. Hashirama then attempts to reason with his friend and comrade, wanting to stop the battle but Madara refuses, noting that he has gone too far. Knowing that Madara was beyond the point of being persuaded, Hashirama enters Sage Mode and uses the gigantic wooden construct with which he prepares to attack. As the battle progresses, Hashirama remembers the first time when he and Madara met, skipping stones by a river. When asked who he was, Hashirama noted that he was currently Madara's rival in stone skipping, at which he was winning.

Our friends at Atlanta Magazine spoke with Athens-based chef Hugh Acheson about his plans to open a new restaurant in Savannah. You can get a taste of the full interview below and enjoy the entire story at atlantamagazine.com or by clicking here
Chef, author, restaurateur, television personality, and James Beard Foundation Award winner Hugh Acheson stays mighty busy these days. When he's not at Five and Tenor the National in Athens, or Empire State South in Atlanta, he may be found working on his newest restaurant, an Italian spot in Savannah opening in March 2014. He's also relocating Five and Ten from South Lumpkin Street to South Milledge Avenue, working on two new cookbooks and judging Top Chef. Below, he divulges plans for the Savannah restaurant-including a possible name, gives us a look into the offerings at the new Five and Ten, and shares some surprising news about Empire State South executive chef Ryan Smith.
Let's talk about your new restaurant in Savannah. How did you decide on Italian?
Savannah has had iconic restaurants throughout the years but can use some new blood, and I wanted to stay in Georgia. Kyle Jacovino (the executive chef to-be) [whose currently at Five and Ten] is Italian by heritage and recently spent time in Italy. I believe in the Italian style of cooking and in the beauty of food. I've been cooking French for so long that it's nice to break away and do something different. There's a definite kinship between beautifully sourced Southern food and the way Italians have cooked for years. There's a reverence for simplicity on both sides.
Think about restaurants like City House in Nashville and Il Buco Alimentari in New York �

Wynonna Judd, Andy Dick and Dorothy Hamill are among the 11 contenders for the mirror ball trophy. The new cast was announced Tuesday morning on "Good Morning America."
Baltimore Raven Jacoby Jones showed off his talent, strutting his stuff on the "Good Morning America" stage. In all, this season has four athletes in the cast, including boxer Victor Ortiz, Olympic gold medal-winning gymnast Aly Raisman and Olympic gold medal-winning figure skating icon Dorothy Hamill.
"I'm excited to be trying to dance. We'll see if you're going to call it dancing, but I've got a great teacher, and I can't wait to get really started," Hamill said.
The cast also includes comedians D.L. Hughley and Andy Dick, who is teamed up with one of three new professionals on the show this season.
"I've been so taken aback by the talent that he's brought to the dance floor so far, so I think he's really going to surprise America," said Sharna Burgess.
At 16, Disney Channel star Zendaya Coleman is the show's youngest celebrity to date.
"I like people to tell me when I'm wrong and tell me when I'm messing up so I can perfect it and make it right," Coleman said.
Country star Kellie Pickler is teamed with three-time champ Derek Hough, who decided just last week to come back for another season.
The cast also includes former "General Hospital" star Ingo Rademacher.
"I had a nightmare that Steven, one of the costume designers, put me in a white outfit with butterfly wings," he said. "I started in a cocoon and then I blossomed."
This season's dance couples are:
- Actor and comedian Andy Dick, who will be paired with pro dancer Sharna Burgess.
- Five-time Grammy winner and New York Times bestselling author Wynonna Judd, who will be paired with last season's champion, Tony Dovolani.
- Comedian D.L. Hughley, who will be paired with Cheryl Burke.
- "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Lisa Vanderpump, who will be paired with Gleb Savchenko.
- Boxer Victor Ortiz, who will be paired with Lindsay Arnold.
- Teen actor and singer Zendaya Coleman, who will be paired with Val Chmerkovskiy.
- TV actor Ingo Rademacher, who will be paired with Kym Johnson.
- Gymnast Aly Raisman, who will be paired with Mark Ballas.
- American Idol finalist Kellie Pickler, who will be paired with Derek Hough.
- Olympic legend Dorothy Hamill, who will be paired with Tristan Macmanus.
- Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Jacoby Jones, who will be paired with Karina Smirnoff. Jones was one of the Ravens' stars in their Super Bowl victory earlier this month.
The show also confirmed that popular dancing pro Maksim Chmerkovskiy will not be returning for the 16th season. Maks says his next step is to dive into acting or producing.
Professional dancers Anna Trebunskaya, Chelsie Hightower and Louis van Amstel are also off the "Dancing With The Stars" roster this season.
"We frequently rotate the professional dancers, so it is not unusual for them to rest a cycle. As we consider who will be matched up each season, there are a lot of factors that dictate which couples make the best pairings," a rep from the show said in a statement Tuesday. "We appreciate each of our dancers dedication to the show, so this is a very difficult decision. Anna, Chelsie, Louis and Maks continue to be a part of the 'Dancing with the Stars' family."
The new "Dancing With The Stars" season starts March 18 with a two-hour premiere, beginning at 8 p.m., on ABC7. The first elimination will be at the end of week two.

I've been a member of AnimePaper.Net (and this site, too) since 2006, and recently they posted this message:
Unfortunately, the site has no forums and doesn't even provide a way to contact the site's staff (unless I'm missing it somehow). What I'm wondering is, what the heck does the above actually mean? Is the whole site shutting down soon? Can people no longer post new work? Will it remain there indefinitely as an archive?Greetings,
After over decade running AP we've made the tough decision to suspend normal operation of the site for the near future. Sadly there aren't enough hours in the day and it was time to make a decision on what to spend our efforts on. It's a pivotal time for our other project right now and we do not have the focus, manpower or system resources to run everything we have got right now.
We'd like to thank the community for their support over the past decade. It's been a pleasure.
Pro users may still log in below. We are no longer accepting new registrations.
AP Staff
Sorry, I know it's weird to post on here to ask about another site. There's no particular reason anyone here should know any more than me, but I'm hoping someone does anyway. Any help on finding out what's going on over there would be appreciated.

Los Angeles: Skip the Tacos and Grab Dinner at La Serenata de Garibaldi
It's hard to make a name for yourself by slinging Mexican food in Boyle Heights. In a neighborhood that already boasts Guisados, Mariscos Jalisco and El Tepayec (with their five-pound Manuel's Special burrito), standing tall amongst the competition is no small feat. Even neighborhood favorites like Antojitos Carmen have shuttered over the years, a testament to what it takes to thrive in such a food-rich part of town.
La Serenata de Garibaldi hasn't had those sorts of issues. As a slightly upscale alternative to the late night cafes, trucks, and tables that run along Cesar Chavez Avenue, this airy eatery has been pushing plates of fresh seafood, simple tacos, and stiff margaritas for more than 25 years. And people are still leaving with smiles on their faces.
The heavy wooden doors of La Serenata ("the serenade") open out onto First Street in the heart of Boyle Heights, and across the street from the always lively Mariachi Plaza. Aging, mustachio'd crooners with their acoustic guitars always seem to find their way into La Serenata to strum adoringly in front of the date night couples, or turn an upscale tune for a table with parents, grandparents, and tiny children squirming in their seats. Everyone comes to La Serenata once they've got a little money in their pocket or an excuse to celebrate.
The main dining room is full of twisting columns, heavy wood chairs, exposed beams, and a dribbling fountain in the back that helps to set the mood. The adjacent bar is heavy and worn from decades serving margaritas, mojitos, and three dozen types of tequila. Under the hanging glasses, it's the sort of place you don't mind crowding around while you wait for a table to open up. Drink enough while you're over there, start talking to the bartender, and you may never leave your seat.
If you do, it's because you smell the dinner plates as they pass you by. Or perhaps it's just the chips, warm and fresh from the fryer. There are little quartered slivers of quesadilla splayed on top as well, a simple, inexpensive touch that really livens up the pre-dinner snack. Plus, they're perfect for soaking up the deep, earthy salsa roja provided for the table. La Serenata is a salsa-heavy restaurant, with everything emerging from the kitchen with a little kick built in.
Or slathered in sauce, as is the case with the picadillo and chile relleno plate ($15), a massive dinner option that arrives with plenty of salsa to spare. The beef is chopped into wide chunks and stewed with white onions to give it some depth, perfect for scooping into a freshly prepared corn tortilla for a little DIY taco action. Across that ocean of salsa, the chile relleno is a hefty bite of poblano pepper, stuffed to the gills with fresh Mexican cheese and then fried. With only the faintest touch of heat from the poblano, the fried exterior and the warm, cheesy insides, La Serenata's chile relleno is reason enough to make a reservation.
For their part, the taco plate ($12) arrives as a simple trifecta of either carne asada, chicken, carnitas, or some form of seafood. The asada is warm and inviting, but lacks the well-grilled and salty edges of a hotter grill and a quicker preparation. Still, these are thick, juicy bites of quality beef that pair well with the sturdy salsa roja left over from the chips. The chicken is served moist and tender, but the pulled bites are breast meat only. Without any of the deeper dark morsels or the help of some marinade and the lick of a flame, these tacos fall flat. Of course, the palm-sized, just griddled corn tortillas are a hit, but if you're ordering a $12 plate of tacos just to nibble on the tortilla underneath, something's wrong.
Then again, ordering the tacos at all when at La Serenata de Garibaldi seems like a fool's choice. The ambiance, the clientele, and the menu all skew towards dinner, which means large, stiff drinks, plates of chopped meats or freshly grilled fish, and a sweet, delicate flan waiting for dessert. Plus, if you're lucky, a little serenade from one of the mariachi men that linger across the street.
