Ubisoft reveals some details about the microtransaction system for Assassin's Creed III
Ubisoft recently revealed the micro-transaction system Assassin's Creed III will have for its online multiplayer modes with prices and bundles announced.
The system appears to revolve around Eruditos as the in-game currency which is converted from real money and used to buy in-game items solely for online multiplayer.
Ubisoft also revealed a small catch with these bundles as these packs only be available to buy within the game itself and can not be purchased elsewhere like on PSN or XBLA.
Bundles revealed:
- Assassin's Creed III UPlay Passport – ($9.99)
- Assassin's Creed III 155 Erudito Pack – ($4.99)
- Assassin's Creed III 20 Erudito Pack – ($0.99)
- Assassin's Creed III 380 Erudito Pack – ($9.99)
- Assassin's Creed III 50 Erudito Pack – ($1.99)
- Assassin's Creed III 925 Erudito Pack – ($19.99)
These packs will not be covered by the game's Season Pass since this DLC set is being treated differently than the storyline-related DLC packs the Pass will cover. Thoughts on this g1s?
More wicked cool stories and video from around the web. Got tips for us? firstname.lastname@example.com
g1 Discussions
Small update from Ubisoft who said all the in-game items can be earned without having to spend real cash although it just takes a lot longer to unlock than just spending for the packs.
For free to play.
Not for £40 games ya morons GAWSH
I hope the irony of the use of microtransactions in a game set around the American Revolutionary War isn't lost on any of us...
Ug... The moment I saw this in ME3 I knew it wouldn't end there, Frankly.. This mentality scares the crap out of me. Yes now it no big deal you can still get it by in game means.. but there will be a title that will push to see what they can get away with.
I mean this kind of stuff is OK for FtP games, But when it start to show up in games I have to buy already.. I dunno, This seems different then "dlc" and something that should not be passed as "acceptable". But I guess will see where it takes us.
I'd probably pass if the multiplayer alone won't be that interesting.

You people crack me up..... "Where are the police?", "What are the police doing?", "Why haven't the police caught them yet?".....
Last I heard, Ouija boards and crystal balls were proven to be bogus. If I don't know who did it, you don't know who did it, your neighbor don't know who did it and the guy across town don't know who did it, how are they supposed to magically know who did it ?
I'm quite certain that if they knew at exactly 3:24am and 13 seconds that thieves were going to be at 1906 Your Street in the morning, the police would be there anxiously awaiting.
What is there, I don't know... 700 - 900 - 1200 individual streets in San Angelo ? Kind of impossible for 8 or 10 officers on any given night shift to be sitting on every street and making their routine calls at the same time.
We really have only 8-10 officers on the night shift? I grew up in a community of 3000, and we had 3 on the night shift. I was not aware that this city was that understaffed.

The dating world is complex, yet exciting and that explains why so many people search hopefully for that lasting partnership that will in a sense make their lives complete.
Knowing this is important and often the ignorance and gullibility of youth leads us to learn life's lessons the hard and painful way. Yet, we cannot deny the need for companionship, and where there is a demand in existence so must the level of supply also be as efficient and adequate to meet this basic human need. In this instance the demand is teen advice, so that our teenagers make the right choices that will benefit them in the future.
Dating issues affect both adults and teens alike and it is no wonder that so many websites, magazines and newsletters are giving teen advice on these complex human issues. It is important for us as a society to give the younger generation the tools necessary to handle the world of relationships, whether it is through dating tips for teenagers or just supporting some of the teen educational programs.
It is a reality that teens are and always will be curious about the dating world and it is our duty to assist them in their plight or else we might as well be denying them their basic human right and need for affection and companionship outside the so-called protective circle of the family unit. It is more than we as adults can control. Human nature dictates to us when the opposite sex will suddenly start being appealing. That is a fact that we cannot even attempt to deny, regardless of what we think is the appropriate age that our teenagers should start dating.
It is clear then why teen advice is important. It is there so that our teenagers can learn to make educated and calculated decisions which, whether we choose to acknowledge or not, will have an indirect or direct impact on us as a whole. That also means that we as a social network have to embrace that and work to produce these ideal individuals.
Sometimes teenagers can take on this duty through teenager's advice hotlines, where the older teenagers can impart some valuable advice to the younger teens about dating. This kind of service is helpful in that it makes the teenagers feel like they are talking to a friend who understands what they are going through as apposed to an adult who has no clue.
Dating tips are important as part of teen advice, especially girls tips as girls are more likely to be in danger in regards to date rape, falling pregnant, sexual pressure, abortions and so forth. Teen advice is about imparting knowledge from personal experience so that it can better educate or prepare teens for the challenges that come with dating.
Girls tips should involve things like protection during sex, how to make a guy still like you without having to give into the pressures of sex and how to not date an older guy who is only looking to exploit your vulnerability and gullibility. These teen advice tips should be seen as giving real working solutions to real problems that come with youth.
We all have to remember that at one point we too were once young teenagers and life experiences changed us and redirected our unknowing dreams and that is why we often tread carefully when we are in the desert of dating and relationships.
Teenagers advice for teens is about giving hope and lending a helping hand. It is also about opening a doorway or portal to a better understanding of oneself.
And when giving teen advice it is important to note that empathy and not sympathy equips you so that you will ably help the teens in their crisis. Even though a certain problem might seem ridiculous to, to them however it feels like a matter of life and death.
By handling all the problems your teens come to you with, with the uttermost care and understanding the first time around, you ensure that the bond of security and trust will always exist between you and your teen.

Lockheed Martin Stresses Cooperative Initiatives as Key To Acquisition Reform Savings
FORT WORTH, Texas, May 11th, 1998 -- Lockheed Martin and the local Department of Defense management have instituted reforms that have provided $10 million in savings on current contracts and are nearing an additional $10 million in reductions applied to future contracts.
These accomplishments are part of the highlights that are being briefed on site, in Washington, D.C., and across the country as part of the Department of Defense 1998 Acquisition Reform Week.
This is the third year the DoD has featured Acquisition Reform Week. In 1995, DoD announced the Single Process Initiative that provided the means to accomplish significant process improvements and achieve cost reductions across the industry. The purpose of the Single Process Initiative is to allow defense contractors to migrate toward a single common process within a single manufacturing facility. With one modification, a single process can be implemented for all contracts both present and future, within the facility. Both industry and the government are participating in a range of activities to share information and suggest improvements for the future.
"Today's environment demands that we closely scrutinize the way we operate and make changes that will provide funds for our future defense through savings we can achieve today," said Kathy Eppers, the Director of Acquisition Reform Initiatives at Lockheed Martin Tactical Aircraft Systems (Lockheed Martin Tactical Aircraft Systems). Processes that have been in place for years cannot continue to remain in place just because that it is the way it has always been done. This is a new era for the defense industry and everything must be put on the table, processes scrutinized, and open communication encouraged to achieve the maximum amount of savings while continuing to build quality defense systems for the security of our nation. We cannot accomplish this in isolation, but must act in partnership with our customers."
Lockheed Martin and its Defense Contract Management Command Office formed a Joint Management Council (DCMC) to carry out this mission in early 1997. In the last two years, the JMC at Lockheed Martin Tactical Aircraft Systems has been recognized as a Best Practice by the Department of Defense and the Lockheed Martin Corporation. It also received the DoD's award for technical innovation for implementing acquisition reform initiatives in 1997.
The savings that have been achieved have been the result of 19 separate contract modifications. These modifications have been derived from a broad spectrum of areas which include process changes from manufacturing, business and administration and quality control. The Lockheed Martin Tactical Aircraft Systems JMC has recognized the role of subcontractors in acquisition reform efforts as well. In 1997, the Fort Worth JMC became the first in industry to implement a subcontractor enabling clause single process initiative (SPI), and has continued efforts to increase savings by encouraging subcontractors to propose more efficient commercial processes.
"The key to successful changes is letting the people who actually perform the work get involved, whether it's employees on the factory floor, on the other side of town or across the country," said Eppers. "We have no restrictions of access to ideas for change."
This open approach and the success it has achieved has led to members of the Lockheed Martin Tactical Aircraft Systems JMC being invited to speak throughout the country on the issue of acquisition reform. The Fort Worth site also has been selected as one of the pilot sites for two key DoD initiatives: the Integrated Digital Environment Pilot Site Initiative and the Paperless Contracting/Multi-Service Initiative for the year 2000.

FIA vice president for sport and 14-time Middle East Rally Champion Mohammed Ben Sulayem tested Mini's John Cooper Works WRC yesterday.
Ben Sulayem drove the Mini at Prodrive's asphalt test track and admitted he had enjoyed his first taste of the new generation of World Rally Cars.
"It's the first time I have had a chance to drive a new World Rally Car," he said. "Now, without the clever diffs and with the smaller lower boosted engines, you have to work the cars much harder, making them much more fun to drive and more spectacular for the fans."
The Mini team will return to the WRC on next month's Rally Finland.

The Lost World, by Arthur Conan Doyle. Explorer Professor Challenger is taking quite a beating in the London press thanks to his claim that living dinosaurs exist in the far reaches of the Amazon. Newspaper reporter Edward Malone learns that this claim originates from a diary given to him by fellow explorer Maple White's daughter, Paula. Malone's paper funds an expedition to rescue Maple White, who has been marooned at the top of a high plateau. Joined by renowned hunter John Roxton, and others, the group goes to South America, where they do indeed find a plateau inhabited by pre-historic creatures, one of which they even manage to bring back to London with them.

How We Do It: The Evolution and Future of Human Reproduction
Robert Martin
Basic Books, 2013 ($27.99)
Human babies are born extremely plump, with about four times as much fat as other comparably sized mammals. Why? The extra layers may help fuel rapid brain growth in the first year of life, writes Martin, a curator of biological anthropology at the Field Museum in Chicago, in this exploration of sex, conception, birth, breast-feeding and parenting in the animal world. He suggests that examining our evolutionary past can lead to improved reproduction in our future. For example, the time each month when a woman is fertile varies. Historical records and the cycles of close primate relatives may help tease out the intricacies of ovulation and conception, including which factors may be linked to developmental defects.

Anything to keep people safer? That is a pretty poor standard for action.
And you should know that areas with strict gun control tend to have higher crime rates. Taking guns out of the hands of civilians makes us less safe.
Funny how you focus on the weapons that have very little to do with crime and not the ones that do.
Stricter gun laws will set us back. It is guaranteed.
What is long overdue the the revival of common sense and personal responsibility in today's society.
Something that is sorely missing today.
What makes you assume that your fellow peers would even follow such an order? I wouldn't be surprised is a significant amount (possibly a majority) refused to do such a thing. If pushed they may even turn on those would would carry out such an order.
Secondly there are around 2.9 million members of the US armed forces. Assuming all would comply they would be up against ~80 million gun owners. Now the military will have advantages regarding training, communication and logistics but 26 to 1 odds are too much to overcome.

Recent Articles About The Water Glass
We've been featured in two publications this spring: our local paper The Madison Record and the Alabama section of Baptist Today.
Busy in 2013!
Late last year, we gals scheduled a retreat for the three of us to spend some time praying and dreaming what The Water Glass might do in 2013.
I'm happy to say that we had a wonderful day last week doing just that! Powered by loads of coffee, laughter and prayer we decided to commit to two craft shows this year. We are looking into getting the towels into two retail spaces here in town. We've made plans to tour the Water Step facility in April. We are also going to start collecting water stories to feature here on the site.
We have more exciting news to share as well. The Water Glass is being featured in two news publications. We'll share those links just as soon as they become available.
2012 was the beginning of a wonderful adventure for us! We appreciate your support and prayers as we got this project started. We are so thankful and blessed to be looking into 2013 and seeing clean, accessible water as a reality for a few more people.

NBA AM: Can The Pacers Back Up The Tough Talk?
The Indiana Pacers find themselves in the second round of the playoffs for the first time since the 2005 season after eliminating the sixth seeded Orlando Magic on Tuesday night.
The team will now face the second seeded Miami HEAT in the Eastern Conference Semifinals which begin on Sunday May 13.
To most on the outside looking in, reaching this level of success after such a long drought would make the season a triumphant campaign in and of itself but Pacers feel their journey is only beginning.
The HEAT are the consensus favorites to eventually send Indiana packing, but the Pacers aren't backing down from the challenge – at least from a wordplay perspective.
The Pacers, feeling the lack of respect, have taken the offensive route in dealing with the media in preparation for their upcoming matchup with the HEAT.
All-Star center Roy Hibbert was the first to strike earlier this week, insinuating the Pacers were a team that paid their dues together rising through the ranks, while the HEAT were merely a collection of superstar talent.
"We didn't do this the easy way," Hibbert told the Indianapolis Star. "It took time. But Larry Bird and David Morway drafted well. We got (David) West. We got George Hill, Leandro (Barbosa) and Lou (Amundson) for almost nothing. We didn't do this by signing a couple of superstars."
Pacers head coach Frank Vogel also joined the mix on Thursday, implying his team shouldn't even be considered underdogs in the upcoming series.
"I think we're embracing the challenge," Vogel said according to Ira Winderman of the Sun-Sentinel. "We feel like we're on one of the best teams in the league. We are not viewing this in any way, shape or form like a David-versus-Goliath type of meeting. We are not the underdog here. This is two heavyweights going toe-to-toe. That's how we view this series. We feel like we're one of the best teams."
Vogel also fueled the flames by accusing the HEAT of the buzzword of the 2012 playoffs – flopping.
"They are the biggest flopping team in the NBA," Vogel added. "It'll be very interesting to see how the referees officiate the series and how much flopping they reward."
"Every drive to the basket, they have guys not making a play on the ball, but sliding in front of drivers. Oftentimes they're falling down even before contact is even being made. It'll be interesting to see how the series is officiated."
Miami's first round series versus New York generated the majority of the mainstream headlines, but let's be honest the Knicks are not a better overall team than the Pacers.
So, the question is, are the Pacers ready for the next level this soon?
On paper they have a solid resume boasting three current or former All-Stars (Hibbert, Danny Granger and West), the 2007 Sixth Man of the Year coming off the bench in Leandro Barbosa and Vogel who finished third in this season's Coach of the Year award race.
Granger also added a parting shot as we await the opening tip.
"We're not a team that wants to be in the spotlight. Some teams are like that," Granger told Mike Wells of the Indianapolis Star. "We're not like that. We're kind of a meat and potatoes team. (We) try to bang you inside, bang you on the boards. We don't care who is watching. We're going to play the same way."
Miami won the regular season series 3-1, with the first two games blowout victories in the HEAT's favor. The Pacers won the last meeting by 15 points back in March.
It should be an interesting series and the start of a good rivalry between the two squads.
Kirilenko Won't Eliminate Returning To Utah Jazz: When Andrei Kirilenko decides to return to the NBA he'll be an unrestricted free agent, sure to receive plenty of interest on the market.
The former All-Star and three-time All-Defensive team selection has only played for the Utah Jazz during his ten year NBA career.
But ever since the end of the 2011 season he's been rumored to be a coveted target of the Brooklyn Nets and no longer a part of the Jazz's future.
But Kirilenko, who is now playing in EuroLeague for CSKA-Moscow, won't rule out a return to the Jazz if he ever returns to the league.
"I have a huge history with the Utah Jazz and they are a priority for me among the 30 teams competing in the NBA, while CSKA are just as close to my heart in Europe and when the Final Four is over I will weigh my options and make a decision," Kirilenko said according to Zoran Milosavljevic (Reuters).
Injured Or Not, Deng Playing In Olympics: The Chicago Bulls finished the regular season with the league's best record, but a torn ACL suffered by 2011 MVP Derrick Rose all but sealed their playoff fate in 2012.
The top seeded Bulls were eliminated by the eighth seeded Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday night.
Bulls forward Luol Deng, who was selected to his first All-Star team this season, had been playing with a torn ligament in his wrist for the majority of the campaign.
The injury may require surgery to fully repair the damage and get him back to full strength.
Regardless, Deng said he intends to play for Britain in the upcoming Olympics.
"I just know that I'm looking forward to playing in the Olympics," Deng told Neil Hayes of the Chicago Sun Times after the Bulls were eliminated by the Sixers. "I'm excited about it. It's something I've wanted to do since I was a kid, and I'm going to prepare myself for it."
Any talk of surgery procedures will also likely be put on hold until after the conclusion of the London Games.
"I haven't really ruled out not getting the surgery or getting it," Deng said. "I just haven't made that decision. I just know that I've got the Olympics ahead of me. Since I was a kid growing up, it's something I've always wanted to be a part of, and the fact that it's in my hometown that I grew up in, in a country that gave me the opportunity to even be here, I'm looking forward to it."
Deng averaged 14 points and 6 rebounds on 41 percent shooting during the regular season. The previous two seasons he shot above 46 percent from the floor.
Detroit Pistons Eyeing Draymond Green In Draft? Competing in all four years of collegiate competition has an unfavorable stigma to it nowadays in the era of guys leaving college early for the pros (before their weaknesses can be dissected).
One four-year player expected to hear his name called on draft night is former Michigan State standout Draymond Green.
Green plays more of a power forward role and is listed at 6'7 but believed to be shorter. He finished his career with the Spartans averaging 16.2 points, 10.6 rebounds and 3.8 rebounds as a senior and is known for his leadership and maturity.
His play throughout college has caught the eye of Detroit Pistons president of basketball operations Joe Dumars.
"Draymond is absolutely a great kid, who represents everything you want on and off the court," Dumars told the Associated Press. "As a player, the individual workouts will be important for him, but he's proven himself over the last four years."
The Pistons, in all likelihood, will be selecting in the top ten in the draft with their first round pick.
They also own two second round draft picks.
It is extremely unlikely the Pistons take Green with their first round pick, meaning the team will have to either wait and see if he's still on the board in round two or trade up the draft board to select him.
In HOOPSWORLD's latest consensus mock draft, only Alex Raskin had him going in the first round , with the No. 30 overall pick.
The team over at Draft Express has Green slated to be selected at No. 29 in their mock draft.
Quick Hits
- According to Jason Quick of the Oregonian, Indiana Pacers general manager David Morway will meet with Portland Trail Blazers owner Paul Allen. Morway met initially met with Blazers officials earlier this week about the team's vacant general manager position. He'll be the second candidate to meet with Allen, joining former New Orleans Hornets GM Jeff Bower.
- New York Knicks forward Amar'e Stoudemire tried to defuse talks that the combination of Carmelo and himself couldn't work together in New York and translate into sustained winning."I think as players with Carmelo and myself and Tyson, as a foundation trio, you can't ask for a better lineup than that in the NBA,'' Stoudemire told Marc Berman of the New York Post. "We have obviously LeBron [James], Dwyane [Wade] and Chris Bosh. You have your [Russell] Westbrook and [Kevin] Durant. And you may even have your Kobe, Bynum, Gasol. But we're right there at the top of the bunch with the trio.''

Although I'd been on a ten day pilgrimage to Israel with my family at the age of 17, I didn't think about the meaning of pilgrimage, defined as a spiritual or cultural experience, beyond visiting sacred places, or the deep significance of such a journey on the spirit until much later in life.
I remember sitting in my meditation group in Sydney one Monday morning and during the group discussion someone mentioning the words Camino de Santiago and Santiago de Compostella. I'd never heard either of these phrases before and felt immediately confused and fascinated. "It's a pilgrimage across Spain," a friend explained.
Thoughts of the Camino were buried away in my heart until they were bursting to emerge years later. I knew very little about The Camino (Spanish for The Way) or Saint James (San Tiago), until I began to plan my own pilgrimage.
I'd read Shirley MacLaines book "The Camino – Journey of the Spirit" (published in 2000) more from an interest in travel and spirituality and loved "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho, which I'd read several times as well as his various other novels. For some reason I never came across a copy of his first book, "The Pilgrimage" about Coelho's own journey across Spain (published in 1987).
The translation of Camino
I discovered "El Camino" meant the road and led all the way beyond Santiago de Compostella, to Finisterre, or Lands End, a name I was familiar with from the BBC Radio 4 shipping broadcast listened to regularly as a child growing up in England. It always sounded like an ominous and mysterious place, somewhere to be avoided at all costs, whether you're a fisherman on a foggy night or a pilgrim travelling on foot.
Historically, the legend of Saint James began around the 8th Century. The remains of the apostle James were brought to Galicia in Spain, in the early 9th century on a boat made of stone and his remains are buried in the Catedral de Santiago. The first recorded pilgrim came to Santiago de Compostella in 947.
Philip Carr-Gomm writes about the Camino in his book "Sacred Places" saying that 1140 is the year of one of history's first guidebooks, called "The Pilgrim's Guide." This appealed to my sense of always trying to find the source of information, the essence of knowledge. During the 12 – 15th century the Camino reached the height of it's popularity, with the advent of the Reformation in the 16th century it went into a decline, until it's revival in modern times.
The revival of the Walk
After the Second World War, pilgrims started to follow the Way, reviving it's appeal and triggering a major study in 1948. The first modern day pocket guide book was published 23 years later, in 1971, the year I was born. I liked this connection, it somehow symbolised to me that I was destined to be one of the pilgrims.
In 1982 the way marking of the Camino Frances (The French Way) began and in 1987 the Council of Europe declared The Way the first European Cultural Route. In 1993, The Way was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. When I walked 27 years after the way marking began, I did so in the confidence that the route was well signposted, I just needed to stay present and attentive. One of the many lessons in life taught so beautifully by the Camino.
In Shirley MacLaine's book, she mentions past pilgrims including St. Francis of Assisi, Napolean, Charlemagne, King Ferdinand, Queen Isabella, Dante and Chaucer, author of The Canterbury Tales written in the 14th century about a group of pilgrims travelling to Canterbury in England.
The meaning of Pilgrimage
Researching Pilgrimage in Wikipedia, the free encyclopaedia explains, "In religion and spirituality, a pilgrimage is a long journey or search of great moral significance. Sometimes, it is a journey to a shrine of importance to a person's beliefs and faith. Members of many major religions participate in pilgrimages." A person who makes such a journey is called a pilgrim and there are places of pilgrimage around the world within the various religious faiths.
Wikipedia explains further that "Christian pilgrimage was first made to sites connected with the birth, life, crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus. Surviving descriptions of Christian pilgrimages to the Holy Land date from the 4th century, when pilgrimage was encouraged by church fathers like Saint Jerome. Pilgrimages also began to be made to Rome and other sites associated with the Apostles, saints and Christian martyrs, as well as to places where there have been apparitions of the Virgin Mary." Hence the pilgrimage to the tomb of Saint James over the centuries which continues to the present day.
There are three main places of pilgrimage in the Christian World; Rome, which I had visited a few times as a child on family holidays; Jerusalam which I had visited twice as a young adult; and Santiago de Compostella a place I hadn't heard of until much later in life. In 2009 it was time for me to complete the third, in the most traditional sense, by walking all the way. It was more for spiritual than religious reasons, to follow an ancient path, to simply walk and allow life to unfold.
If you'd like to read about the pilgrimage, this is a good place to begin.

Happy Independence Day to our readers in the United States of America! I am very thankful to be an American and grateful for the freedoms I have enjoyed throughout my life thanks to the sacrifices of all those who fought for our independence (so long ago) and those who have fought to maintain it since that time. I don't take freedom or independence for granted.
Like so many families raising a child with an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), I frequently wonder what the future will hold for Ethan in terms of independence…and when I stop to ponder, I wonder about the future – not just for Ethan, but other children of Ethan's generation, especially those affected by ASD.
On this journey, I've come to meet so many families working day-and-night just to help their child with ASD gain independence in areas families with typical children may never even give a second thought to…
For all families raising children with ASD, today I'm sending prayers and wishes for the children's independence this Independence Day specifically concerning:
Pointing, Eye Contact, Empathy & Reciprocation, Speech & Communication, Sleeping, Eating, Pooping, Toileting, Wandering, Playing, Reading, Writing, Making Friends, Bonding with Family Members, Feeling Accepted, Finding a Meaningful Career and eventually Living Independently in Society…these things especially come to mind when I ponder "What IS Autism?" and how does it affect independence?
But as I write that, I worry that the majority of our society doesn't know…
Regarding Pointing - Many kids diagnosed with ASD either never pointed as babies (to people/objects) as a means of interaction/communication or stopped pointing (and regressed developmentally). This is one of the first signs or "red flags" of ASD.
Regarding Eye Contact - Most children with ASD have difficulty with eye contact for sustained periods of time; some from birth, some after a regression. Some children avoid it altogether with everyone, including family members. Other children may have limited eye contact with very close family members, but little to none with others.
Regarding Empathy & Reciprocation - Some parents never hear the words "I love you" from their child with ASD and many of our children struggle with Empathy; some throughout their lifetimes. A great majority of children learn to reciprocate shows of affection and empathy, but often due to the patient work on the part of the child's parents.
Regarding Speech & Communication – Increasing numbers of teens and young adults with ASD who were non-verbal are finding new ways to communicate and are telling their loved ones, doctors, teachers and therapists that as small toddlers and children, they understood most everything but couldn't effectively reply or communicate their thoughts and emotions. Other adults with Asperger's Syndrome, an ASD, who developed speech at an appropriate age and were able to communicate their needs and wants, are sharing their recollections of not fully understanding body language, facial expressions, idioms and other aspects of "communication" that typically come naturally to the rest of society. Some children with ASD make it to adulthood never speaking a single word; others gain limited speech through intensive one-on-one therapy. And others gain very functional speech, but do so again, through very intense therapies and interventions on the part of the families, teachers and therapists.
Regarding Sleeping – A surprising number of children with ASD have difficulty sleeping through the night; which means that family members (especially parents, but also siblings at times, too) are also awake for portions or entire nights. Living sleep-deprived is challenging and difficult, but is a stark reality for many families with ASD.
Regarding Eating – Children with ASD can have difficulty with foods/eating for a variety of reasons. A large number of children have food allergies and intolerances requiring a special and individualized diet. Other children with ASD may also have Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) which can cause big issues with various textures and tastes in foods, requiring therapeutic interventions. (SPD is also a factor for the other senses, too, which makes independence very difficult in many situations.) Additionally, some children may have other oral/motor issues which makes it very difficult for them to chew and swallow and keeps them from eating foods that are otherwise considered a healthy part of children's diets.
Regarding Pooping – Typical families probably don't understand what a BIG role poop plays in the lives of families with ASD. Children with digestive issues due to food allergies and intolerances may have severe issues with diarrhea or constipation. Other families may have children who smear feces on walls and other surfaces. Other children with ASD may have great difficulty with passing BM's into the toilet…even as teenagers or young adults, which leads us to my next Independence Wish…
Regarding Toileting – As I mentioned above, some children (and teens and even young adults) with ASD have tremendous difficulty with learning to use the toilet. Some individuals' muscle tone is such that it is difficult or impossible for them to "feel" when it is time to use the toilet; others have sensory issues with the sound/feel of the porcelain toilet itself. And, I'm sure there are many other reasons (too many to note here) why toileting is such a tremendously challenging issue for so many families living with ASD – but it can be and often is beyond difficult for these families!
Regarding Wandering – While individuals with ASD are traditionally assigned the same "life expectancy" of their typical peers, these children are much more prone to wandering and to encountering dangerous, life-threatening situations. Because of this, many children with ASD die when they wander from safety to explore fascinating things like ponds & lakes, cars, planes, trains, etc.
Regarding Playing – Most children, adolescents, teens and even adults with ASD find it very difficult to "play" and/or interact with typical peers. Reading the social cues and intuitively understanding "unspoken rules" make some of the games kids play on the playground or at the neighborhood park extremely frustrating, upsetting and challenging. This can lead them to isolate themselves or to act out, (sometimes physically by pushing/hitting/kicking/spitting), which further sets them apart from peers and making them seem "mean," "different," "odd," or "weird."
Regarding Reading – Even some children with ASD who can "decode" words like nobody's business often have great difficulty with reading comprehension. They may require private, one-on-one tutoring to help them gain the necessary skills to read comprehensively as their peers do. Since most kids with ASD have significant speech delays which have likely been addressed prior to learning to read, this often comes as the next language/literacy hurdle in young childhood.
Regarding Writing – Often children with ASD struggle with fine motor skills and find handwriting cumbersome, or even painful, due to poor hand/wrist muscle strength. While Occupational Therapy (OT) can help to address this, sometimes it is still difficult for students to physically write letters and words to form sentences and paragraphs. Other students may have difficulty with expressive language and find it highly difficult to "find the words" to express themselves as well as their peers do (again, most children with ASD have moderate to profound speech and language delays which must be overcome, either before or during the time when children are taught to write).
Regarding Making Friends – When it comes to making friends, even neurotypical kids often have difficulties. Add in tremendous challenges with communication, sensory overload, missing/misunderstanding/misreading social cues, facial expressions and body language, making friends isn't the only problem – keeping friends also becomes an issue. Kids, adolescents and teens with ASD tend to suffer significantly from low self-esteem; especially when they "know" they are different and may not fully understand why or how to find friends who will be more understanding and/or have similar interests.
Regarding Bonding with Family Members – Though it is often parents who struggle most with this, siblings and grandparents (and some close extended family members) may also have difficulty bonding with a child who doesn't readily accept or show affection in traditional ways (and may even resist hugs/kisses), and/or children who don't respond in kind to phrases of endearment like: "I love you." Many people in the community, even extended family members like aunts, uncles and cousins incorrectly think that the child is cold or ill-mannered if/when they do not show affection in traditional and expected ways; this is far from the truth. Each child has his/her own preferences and limits and should be respected, valued and validated.
Regarding Feeling Accepted – While some individuals with ASD have significant cognitive impairments, many do not and are considered to have typical intelligence – they just struggle greatly with communication. Some individuals, especially those with Asperger's Syndrome may even have above average intelligence. These individuals, with average or above average intelligence, can sense that they are different and that some people are critical of their atypical behaviors and tendencies – they just may not understand how to change or "fix" it. This can be extremely hard for children, adolescents, teens and even young adults. Sadly, these individuals are at a high risk for being bullied and later committing suicide.
Regarding Finding a Meaningful Career – With a strong support system, many individuals with Asperger's Syndrome or High Functioning Autism (HFA) find that as they grow older, they are drawn to other people who "get" their differences. And, if they can find a suitable career surrounded by like-minded people, they may feel they have found their "place in the world." Sometimes a thoughtful mentor or a special program may be the best way to set students and young adults up for success. But it is also important to note that even individuals who may not be highly verbal or "high-functioning" need help to find independence through a rewarding career; individuals forced to do something 24/7 they find boring or miserable will not be happy, will not thrive and as a result, difficult/challenging behaviors will likely arise.
Regarding Living Independently in Society – At present, the living/working options for adults with ASD are beyond disappointing. There are very few programs and/or institutions which are helping families adequately prepare and facilitate transitions to an independent lifestyle. With more and more students with ASD every year aging out of public school services, this is a BIG concern and one that keeps many a parent awake at night. While each of us dreamed of our children heading off to college at age 18 or 19…some parents now worry that their child may still be unable to communicate basic wants and needs, or even use the toilet, at that age – thanks to the many challenges facing them – in the name of "Autism."
While I've covered a lot of the aspects families raising children with ASD may think about when they consider true Independence, I've by no means covered them all…our children and families are all vastly different and varied, so addressing all of the concerns and worries related to ASD and independence would be impossible. This is just an overview of the main issues that come to my mind when I stop to consider an independent future for Ethan and the growing number of children like him with a range of Autism Spectrum Disorders.
Further, especially on this historical day, my dream of "Independence for All" may look very different than that of the typical American; but I hope that more "typical Americans" will stop to consider how very many families are struggling with these worries, concerns and challenges. In fact, if you wish that more people (friends, neighbors, clergy members, etc.) understood more of the worries/concerns regarding Independence our families face…maybe you need to help them understand! Forward this post to them and ask them to spend some time reading; or better yet, write about your own dreams and fears to share so that they can better understand you, your child and your family!
It will take all of us working together to ensure that all individuals with ASD can enjoy an independent life, with liberty and happiness in the coming 10, 20, 30, 40 years.

Actress horrified to find daughter, 2, with ecstasy (Richard Alleyne, 08/10/2002, Daily Telegraph)Sadie Frost, the actress and fashion designer, was said to be "in shock" yesterday after her two-year-old daughter Iris swallowed half an ecstasy tablet at a children's party.Iris, the second child of Miss Frost and her husband Jude Law, the actor, picked up the tablet from the floor of the Soho House club in London during the party on Saturday afternoon.
So, let's see if we have this straight: you let your two year old crawl around on the floor of a nightclub? Posted by Orrin Judd at October 7, 2002 11:42 PM
Uh, I think you missed the operational phrase in that story. This was a _children's_ party they were at. I do _not_ say that the family knew, or should have known, that drugs had been used there the previous night, but they had a legitimate expectation that the place would be clean, safe and ready for use by small children the following day; in a situation in which there are lots of other small children romping and playing, parents have, or ought to have, a reasonable expectation that the environment is safe for their own child. Make of it what you will, but in this particular case, unless and until other evidence comes to light, the fault here lies with the club management, not the parents.

I thought it was too ridiculous that something like that would actually happen in real life. Guess I owe the ER producers an apology.

Testimony in the Craigslist killing murder trial of 53-year old Richard Beasley has wrapped up in Summit County Common Pleas Court with closing arguments now scheduled for Monday.
Prosecutors believe Beasley lured three men to their deathS in Noble County with a fake craigslist ad for a farm job.
Newschannel 5 reports Jerry Hood was the first rebuttal witness to take the stand. His family owns the land in Caldwell, Ohio where the the bodies of two men were found in shallow graves and another man was shot and wounded.
Hood, who knew Beasley, said he never asked Beasley to hire someone to take care of the family property, as Beasley claimed during testimony on Wednesday, when he took the stand in his own defense.

Jenny has been invited to the Venice Printmaking Studio to make a large scale woodcut. She has chosen the Lionfish as her subject.
Hello and thank you for taking the time to look at this project! I am a full time artist living in the lovely finger lakes region of New York State. I make color-reduction woodcuts about ecological issues all over the world. Take a look at my website if you would like to see more art, information and events.
I was just awarded a large scale printmaking residency through The Venice Printmaking Studio in Italy! I will be headed there for the month of March in 2012. I am going to make a huge woodcut about invasive lionfish in Bahamian waters. Why do you ask am I going to Italy to make this woodcut? Because they have a MASSIVE press. The paper I will be using is 40 x 55 inches. My press at home is just 30 x 48 inches. Going to Venice allows me to make a giant piece of art.
I am hoping to "pre-sell" at least $2100 worth of artwork and postcards to subsidize my trip. Being a full time artist actually costs a ton of moola. I spend a little less than $20k a year for art festival show fees, gas, framing, and other travel expenses to bring my artwork to the public. I am not actually asking for money in this campaign, I am asking for folks to pre-purchase my art so it is possible for me to go to Italy. Please take a look at my blog for information about a show that I curated about artists who make a living selling their work at festivals. This money will help pay for my plane ticket, residency fee, water taxi, gondola rides, paper and pasta.
All of my artwork has pertinent environmental themes. My most comprehensive series is about invasive animals around the world. This large lionfish woodcut will fit into that series. Lionfish have become a huge problem in the Atlantic. They were introduced most likely as unwanted aquarium fish. People who own tanked fish sometimes let their scaly friends go into the sea thinking they will have a better life. The Lionfish did find a great life, because they have no natural predators, when let loose they ate up coral reefs, small fish and crustaceans at an unfortunate rate. People so far have tried to train sharks to eat them, put them on menus for people to eat them, and possibly catch them and put them back into the aquarium trade.
If you would like to see more pieces in my invasive animal series, here are a few favorites. Feral Cats eating up Numbats in Australia , Rainbow Trout that were dropped from planes, taken up with mule carts and trains to populate isolated mountain lakes in Western USA and Lodgepole pine trees being dropped from helicopters in New Zealand because it was thought that the steep NZ cliffs were eroding. Instead, these trees have taken over, giant tracts of Lodgepole pines can be found all over the island. The artwork I make tells stories of ecological mishaps with a bit of humor and hope.

Air Quality
Decisions about How We Grow and Develop Affect Air Quality
Poor air quality is one the most critical problems facing the San Joaquin Valley. For example, 17% of the Valley's residents now suffer from asthma that is related to air pollution.[1] How our communities grow and develop affects the quality of the air we breathe. Urban sprawl contributes to poor air quality in several ways:
- When homes, schools, shopping and workplaces are widely separated automobile travel is required to get from place to place. The number of miles being driven per year in the San Joaquin Valley has more than tripled since 1980.[2] This amount of driving contributed to an average of 50 "bad air" days across the Valley in 2007.[3],[4]
- The more spread out development is, the farther people have to drive. In the San Joaquin Valley, there is a direct correlation between the efficiency of urban development (measured by people per acre of developed land) and the total vehicle miles travelled in a community. [chart] On average, there are only about 8 people per acre in the Valley's urban areas – half to one-third of the number in other regions in California.
- Low density development with neighborhoods that lack connectivity and a mix of uses prevents people from walking and bicycling to access good, services, and jobs. This kind of low-density development also makes public transportation systems economically impractical. Improving public transit systems and increasing their use could dramatically reduce auto use and improve air quality.
To effectively reduce vehicle trips, alleviate congestion, and improve air quality, cities and regions must adopt smarter growth strategies that eliminate the need to drive everywhere. This means creating more walkable urban and suburban environments, a mix of land uses and transit-oriented communities.

Vehicle emissions account for over 75 percent of carbon monoxide pollution; 30 to 50 percent of all nitrogen oxide and volatile organic compound emissions; 30 percent of particulate matter emissions; and almost one-third of green-house gases.

What program are you using to design the scenery?I am having a problem with the range at which my macros are showing up in the
sim. I have created the macros with FSDS and have played around with the
properties for the Macro in ASD and in the file itself. The macros will not
show up until I am right up next to them. I have changed the range RefPoint
Visibility and the macros are still not showing up until I am about 250 meters
away from them.
Any help would be appreciated.
If you have set your macro to a scale less than 1, the distance from which it
can be seen gets reduced.

Such messages, and the information within them, can often get blipped in our desperate attempts to keep our inboxes down to a manageable number of emails. Therefore, when my fellow writer, Paula, said—
I have been out of touch, as I moved and got busy, etc. Would you mind answering my question for me again... How does one go about signing on to teach on one of these (online) sites?
— I could commiserate!
Therefore I'm posting the answer here for whenever people need the information.
Why teach online?
The best reason is that you'd like to pass on information you think other writers would appreciate while making a little extra cash.
An obvious byproduct is that teaching online helps you promote your work via the Internet. Your name, bio and writing credits get posted on the hosting organization's website and are used in advertisements along with links to your website, books and blog.
A second byproduct is that you develop a network of future class participants and writing professionals on whom you call when you've got a question related to their expertise.
Lastly, it's a hoot to meet people from around the world. I've had students in Australia, Germany, New Zealand and South Africa.
What's an online class?
An online class is one in which the instructor posts lessons, each of 3- to 6-typed pages, that are then read by participants via a class website created by the organization that hosts the class. The instructor usually then answers questions and offers feedback on any writing exercises contained in the lessons.
The number of lessons and time period of the class are negotiated by the instructor and the workshop coordinator for the hosting organization. Classes can be posted daily for a week, three times a week for two weeks, twice a week for a month, etc. Classes can also include scheduled chat sessions where the instructor and participants meet to talk online.
The host can be a nonprofit writing association; an online workshop school, either a for-profit or nonprofit; or you can offer the class yourself by creating a YahooGroups class website and then advertising for students.
I've taught for:
• Women Writing the West
• Yosemite Romance Writers
• Futuristic, Fantasy and Paranormal Romance Writers of America
• myself
Here are some other organizations:
• Savvy Authors
• Gotham Writers
• the Online Writer's Studio through Stanford Continuing Studies
Fees range from about $20 per student to $500, depending on the length of the class and the prestige of the hosting organization. Instructors take home about half the gross, or if they host the class, the entire sum. If the higher fee looks tantalizing, remember that they're often for classes that are 6- to 8-weeks in length and require instructors to have impressive credentials.
Even if the fee per student is not huge, you can, once you've developed the curriculum, market the class to a variety of different organizations, which allows the initial time investment to pay off.
What kind of classes can you offer?
You can offer anything you think writers might like to know:
• a certain historical period and location, such as Elizabethan England
• a certain skill genre writers might find useful, such as how to evaluate a crime scene for mystery and thriller writers
• anything related to writing, such as character development, dialogue, critique, how to create romance, etc.
• anything related to the business of writing, such as how to write tantalizing Twitters that get people to check out your website
If any of you have more to add regarding information or experience, please feel free do so.
Happy writing!

Here, we can get a 246GB ssd for around 330€, and a 2000GB HDD for 130€... just do the maths. Mainly, one should use the SSD for the operative system (windows, linux, etc.), and then standard HDD's for storage (maybe a raid there, for some data safety). |

I disagree. For deterrence to work, you occasionally need to make an example out of someone. Here, you have a woman who headed a charity and ALLEGEDLY stole funds, including federal funds. If she did it, she should go to prison. If she didn't, the feds owe her one heck of an apology.
