4 Tips For Finding The Right Treatment For Your Child with Autism or Special Needs
When my son was first diagnosed as being on the autism spectrum I immediately had two responses. I wanted to take action and I wanted to deny it was happening.
At first, this was so overwhelming! To where do you turn? Who do you see? How do you know if that treatment is good? Should I see this doctor?
This is what I have learned when I was looking for the right doctor and treatment facility for my son with Autism.
Educate Yourself
Ask questions and get informed. Do as much research as possible. Time may be of the essence but rushing into a treatment may turn out to be a large regret later.
Educate yourself on the diagnosis, available treatment plans and different facilities. You do not want to visit a provider without preparing or else you could be misled. Know ahead of time what you want to discuss and show that you know your facts. The more knowledge you have, the less you are at the mercy of others, who may have strong opinions but weak facts.
Google is your friend. Do a Google search on:
[facility name] reviews
to see what others have said about it. This does not mean they are correct. But you gather information about it so that you are aware of what is being said out there.
Consider the Source
The internet is a big place, full of information, but also conflicting opinions. One of the best ways to refine your data is to join a forum and discuss various issues with like-minded people, many times parents of children with autism or special needs, who want to help others with lessons learned from their experiences. Over time, you will find out who has the facts and who does not.
You can search the forum for various questions you have, knowing that you are never the first person to ever ask the question you have in mind. Chances are, someone else asked it and another person answered it.
A Google search will give you a lot of results in response to typing out your question just like if you had asked a person that same question. But use your judgment when evaluating all of the answers you get. Some people do not think through their response before posting it.
Established reputable websites are also a good place to start, such as a well-known medical facility. You can find out who the big names are in the industry and what the popular treatments are. Chances are, there will be a lot of discussion about these people and treatments. You will be able to narrow down which people you think are trustworthy and which treatments you think will work for your child.
Be wary of a hyped-up warning message. We have all been forwarded urgent messages from well-meaning friends and family telling us about that dangerous food item, insect or common practice.
Do a Google search on one of the sentences in the message to see if others have posted it and refuted it. Since unthinking people forward the message in its original form, identical copies of it spring up everywhere.
It is so easy to fake who you are on the internet, so just because a message proclaims that some famous medical establishment has said this or that, does not make it so.
Use Google to check out the information.
Reviews and Testimonies
Some of the best advice given to me came from other parents or patients. Ask a prospective provider for testimonials, or, if possible, a parent who is willing to share his or her experience with you. This can be tricky because of patient confidentiality laws but the worse that can happen is that you get "no" for an answer. I found one provider who immediately pulled out a binder of letters from patients.
Get Connected
Look for groups in your area that you can join or events that you can attend. This is a great way to learn from others and get honest guidance. When joining local groups and events, you are more likely to find a local provider. Local is not a must but it is a definite plus!
There may be a forum made up of members who are local to you, thus combining the immediacy of online and the face-to-face of local. Do a Google search on:
autism forum
You could be pleasantly surprised at what results come back.
Disclosure and Note: I am a mom with a child on the spectrum. I have struggled like many of you. These are not medical facts or researched facts. They are simply real tips from my real experience. I have made it a mission of mine to help other parents who are as overwhelmed as I was. I am still learning each day.

This production was one of the best shows I have ever seen!!! This production was 100% total perfection!!! Everything from the musicianship of the orchestra, to the sets, singing and acting. Even the special effects. Absolute perfection!!! The rendition of "music of the night" and "all I ask of you" brought tears to my eyes. I was swept away by this performance in to a whole new world. I highly recommend this event.

We had a great time at the Phantom. The musical performances, staging, and special effects were fantastic. There was not a lot of legroom (my husband is 6' and his knees were just about touching the seat in front of us), and some of the gorgeous...continued

Adapted from Gaston Leroux's classic novel of mystery and suspense, this award-winning musical has woven its magical spell over standing room audiences in more than 100 cities worldwide and is now the longest running show in Broadway history.

PC Achievement Trading Thread
Disappointed this thread is not started.. Wasted hours talking with those in the "Achievement Trading Thread" only to find out xbox360 is not cross-platform with Vista.
Anyways, I'll be hosting a trading session this weekend. If anyone is interested please reply to this thread. I'll set a time/date if there is interest.
Thoughts on how to obtain the achievements:
Sweet Revenge / Never Give Up / The Cleaner -
Map: Diner
Sessions: 10
Rounds: 3
People: 4 - 8
Time: 4
Notes: Pair up per session, traitor = decoy, cop = achievement collector, Meet at fence then have decoy kill the achievement collector. Achievement collector comes back as cop, and revenge kills decoy through the fence. The fence is where the getaway van breaks when leaving, on far right side of spawn.
Crime Buster / Double Trouble / Mr. Popularity -
Map: Diner
Sessions: 10
Rounds: 3
People: 5 - 8
Time: 4
Notes: Assuming 5 players. Have two people assigned to kill ONE other merc. This creates two traitors for each round. Then the 5th wheel (odd man out) kills both traitors.
Mercenary / Family Member / Some / A lot / Cash Addict / Most Wanted / Mr. Play-It-Straight / 50 to Won / Rush Hour / Perfect Split
Map: Mall
Sessions: 15
Rounds: 3
People: 4 - 8
Time: 7
Notes: Run through, everyone will equally split the cash. One round have one person kill other players and make out with at least 1.5 mil.
Map: Diner
Sessions: As many as it takes
Rounds: 3
People: 4 - 8
Time: 7
Notes: Run through, kill cops at the diner, then get in getaway van (do not enter building where the senator runs )
Celebrity / True Elite-
Don't bother, worth 0 points.
i must say im severely pissed off that it isnt cross platform given thats the reason i bought it
i duno when you posted that so that weekend might have passed but i just got the game and im up for doing some online achievements,legit or boosted. id prefer legit for the most part but theres one or two that are quite hard so i dont mind boosting them if trying to get them legit fails horribly. if the weekend that you wanted to do it in has passed do you wanna do another one?

I have it on PC and need all the multiplayer achievements
is this still going on? i bought the pc version because it was "cross platform" and got severely screwed when i found out it wasnt. anyways looking to boost the online PC ones so i can finish this one up as well.
send a msg to deejay2e
I wouldn't mind getting achievements on PC version if anyone wants to add me.
I play K&L on PC version too. I need online achievements. Add me if we are enough for do a boot achievement server. add me : X DarKsuN X ( with a message says : kane & lynch achiev or something like plz ;) )

Ok, post back in this thread if you want to boost, all we need is 4 ppl tottal. So we need 3 more. I might have 2 ppl that already want to boost this offside x360a so ill let yall know whats up.
Replying to say that I'm interested in gaining some multiplayer achievements for myself and others. Gamertag's the same as my forum name.
My ideal start time is 7am PT (GMT -8) but I am very flexible.
If you have not played the console version, you need to be aware that this is not a fast process, some of the achievements take 50+ hours. Please don't say you are going to participate if you are not actually interested in doing so. Five people is the best bet, although it can be done with four.
If you are interested in joining a group to complete all of the MP achievements, please reply with the following information:
Your forum name, your gamertag, and if Sat or Sun is better for you.
1. Creech, Creech x360a, Sat or Sun

FRSL Top 5 HOT and COLD teams
Top 5 HOT Teams:
Milwaukee Bucks:
Bucks started the seaon with 6-6 , very avg start , but sincee then they took the 2nd place in the east (tied for 1st) , going 19-9 since their bad sim. (some wins came even without CP3) , CP3 easly looks like a MVP candidate right now along with Zbo to make one of the curent hottest duo's in the league.
Boston Celtics:
Going into the first season of FRSL no one thought the Boston Celtics could go somewhere , but in 2 out of 3 sims they have been HOT! going 17-7 in sim 1+3 combined , Celtics are one of the "hottest" teams in the league , their hot duo - James Harden , and our own Shaqtin a fool's Javale Mcgee , Harden is giving some MVP numbers.
Brooklyn Nets:
After an avg start and bad sim 2 , the Nets are back to 0.500! they are here and here to stay , with the extremly HOT duo Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah , Rose is also puting up an MVP numbers with 25 PPG HOT!
Toronto Raptors:
Raptors might be the hottest team in the league! with an avg start they are now ranked 4th in the east! who would have thought? going 12-5 in the last 17 games , 6-1 in their last 7 games , Raptors are extremely HOT! they have a HOT 3-way action with Rondo , Young and Amare. Rondo is just impressive with 13/5/9/3 and great D , Young and Amare scoring their brains out.
Portland Blazers:
Blazers had a bad bad start included by a few injuries , but Blazers seem to recover well in the last couple of weeks of the season , going 10-7 in their last 17 games , injured players are back and the Blazers are alot more HOT! their HOT duo is Paul George and Demarcus Cousins.
Top 5 COLD Teams:
Detroit Pistons:
Pistons might be the COLDest team in the league , they went 10-2 in the first sim , at 2nd sim they got colder but still led the east , 3rd sim from 1st place to 6th! COLD COLD COLD! Pistons are 1-9 in their last 10 games , their hot duo of Wesbtook and Gallernari is getting COLDer!
Chicago Bulls:
Bulls are 3-5 in their last 8 , they droped out of a playoff spot after a good start , Bulls might be the least COLDest team in this top 5 but they are still abit COLD! KD did not get colder , but Bledsoe did! he's still doing good but cooled down abit.
St.Louis Kings:
COLD COLD COLD! Kings are 4-14 in their last 18 games , and 2-5 in their last 7 games , Holiday's injury didn't help and their GM seem to be giving up on this season , their hot duo of Blake and Iggy is not so hot anymore , Iggy is COLD as ice.
Atlanta Hawks:
After a good 2nd sim , Hawks are COLD again , couldn't get out of last place in the east , going 3-7 in their last 10 games! their hot duo Carmelo and LMA are hot on offence but COLD on the D side , Hawks are getting 114 PPG and I ask you all: wheres the Defence?
Clevland Cavaliers:
Cavs are nothing but COLD , 4-8 in their last 12 , they did pull some nice wins but its not enough , their hot duo of Rubio and Gordon is getting colder and the team is not playing good enough defence.

9 sts = about 4 in. (10 cm) in St st worked in the rnd (k every rnd). When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. The needle or hook size called for in the pattern is based on what the designer used, but it is not unusual for gauge to vary from person to person. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make your swatch, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles. Making a Gauge Swatch
Exact gauges is not imporant to this project.
Hat is worked in rnds, beg at the lower edge.
Do not cut yarn between color changes; simply carry the unused color along the wrong side of your work.
Slipping the first st on Rnds 8 and 10 will help to prevent a 'jog' when changing color.
HAT With A, loosely cast on 40 sts.
Divide sts onto 4 needles, with 10 sts on each needle.
Place marker for beg of rnd.
Join by working the first st on left hand needle with the working yarn from the right hand needle and being careful not to twist sts.
Rnd 1: *K2, p2; rep from * to end of rnd.
Change to B.
Rnds 2-5: With B, rep Rnd 1 four times.
Change to St st worked in the rnd (k every rnd).

Rnd 7: With A, k to end of rnd.
Rnd 8: Slip first st, then with A, k to end of rnd.

Hi all. I am talking to a builder about a custom steel frame that needs to be light and stiff (for road racing). He is recommending light tubes (Deda Zero, Columbus Life, or TT Ox Platinum) and the use of an OS down tube.
Question: I have heard that OS tubes have very thin walls and are prone to denting and such; is that true? And also, will such tubes give a harsh ride?
Thanks for your input.

Hey guys, I'm planning on getting an entry level bike, probably a hybrid or a mountain bike, but my dad asked a question:
Since this bike will be spending 2 years initially me riding it from school to home, the bike can easily be vandalized. Tires can be slashed, the seat punctured and mangled, or even stolen off... he thinks I should get a crap 'disposable' walmart bike for $50 a piece, since I can get 7 bikes to be stolen for the price of a cheap entry level bike at $350. Then I got to thinking:
Lets say I get a $350 - $400 Trek or Giant or Specialized or some other bike... can I get some el-cheapo craigslist NEXT or Ozone or Huffy bike for parts? Lets say the nice bike has a pretty nice seat, should I just put some Huffy seat on there that is utterly disposable if someone steals/mangles it, or for rides to-and-from school, change the wheels out from a good set to the heavy crap toy bike?
Because I really don't want to spend $150 on replacing parts.

Top Teachers: Samuel Turner
Holman M.S., sixth-eighth grades
Growing up, Samuel Turner always assumed that he would follow the family military tradition and end up in a job in which he designed or built airplanes, tanks and helicopters, or perhaps joined the Military Corps of Engineers.
But a Saturday morning during his senior year of high school changed all that.
Spending time at the Nottoway County home of his English teacher, the late John B. Cyrus, completely changed his perspective, said Turner. It was Cyrus – along with other teachers and principals he admired – who gave him an appreciation of the opportunity teachers have to make a difference in young lives.
Looking back, Turner said, he always had people around him who provided advice and "taught me a different way to view things."
His sister and brother both challenged and nurtured him, and he noted that both have had successful military careers, in addition to becoming teachers in their respective fields.
As a teacher of pre-engineering, technology, and 21st-century learning, Turner (who taught at Short Pump Middle School before Holman opened) said that among his biggest challenges are the misperceptions that exist about gender in that curriculum. He has found it especially rewarding, as a result, to watch female students blossom.
He described one such student who began besting older students in competitions as a sixth-grader, delivered winning campaign speeches as a seventh-grader, moved on to leadership positions in TSA (Technology Student Association) and "almost single-handedly increased the female interest in engineering, technology and TSA." Recently, he said, he was honored to provide letters of reference as she applied to schools of higher education.
Another challenge of teaching technology, he said, is what he calls the "influences of the modern Information Age."
While modern electronic marvels save time and provide instant information and entertainment, he said, they also foster a perception that technology is the answer to everything, "and that success is just a keypunch away.
"I try to instill in the students," said Turner, "that no matter what electronic gadgets we have at our disposal, they are [simply] tools . . .The greatest computer or tool ever made sits squarely on their shoulders – and its potential is limitless."
He also strives to find special and unique things about what interests each student, and to teach "every student in every class like they are preparing to go to Harvard."
Seeing his students embrace new ideas and apply their classroom lessons in exciting ways at technology competitions, he says, is "marvelous to behold."
Turner succeeds at getting to know every student, according to parents, because his work day often lasts from 7:30 a.m. to 9 p.m.
"His door is always open," marveled one parent. "Kids will hang out in his classroom both before and after school, when they need a place to 'just be', or need a shoulder to lean on. . . He teaches so much more than just technology. He welcomes all children, and finds a way to connect with each one."

Since I first blogged about DPC Latency and the Alienware M17x, we've been working toward a solution. Since then, some of you may have read Engadget's update post on the topic last week. Thanks to everyone who responded and sent me their service tag. It helped us understand exactly what everyone had done to try to resolve their difficulties, and confirmed a lot of what we already knew.
I'm very happy to share that engineering has discovered a solution for the DPC latency issues on the M17x. This process will resolve the DPC latency problem on all machines with a Dell factory image. Dell can't guarantee that this solution will resolve issues on machines that have been modified by their owners.
Update 2/23: As readers of NBR and Engadget may already know (see Update 2 in Tim's post), we've sent some Aliens out to claxdog's house to check on the behaviors some people are seeing in the field. They were able to compile some data that should help them get to the bottom of what else is causing this. When I have more details to share, I will.
Without further ado…
If you're one of those who suffer from DPC latency issues, a quick run of DPC latency checker will likely yield you results similar to this:
If this is you, and you need the issue resolved immediately, follow this three step process:
Following this process has consistently yielded the following results using DPC Latency Checker in the lab:
As you can see, all red is gone.
If you've followed the above steps exactly, whatever issue you're experiencing isn't likely to be caused by any DPC latency resulting from the factory configuration, or DPC latency at all in many cases. As I said before, Dell can't guarantee that third party software will behave itself after you install it.
Either way, if you've confirmed you still have a problem after following the above steps, run the DPC Latency Checker. If you're still getting DPC latency spikes for some weird reason, and I seriously doubt you will be, let me know here in the comments or send me a private message with your service tag number.
Update 3/19 - A few days ago we made a beta driver from nVidia available to folks on notebookreview.com, and so far, the results have been pretty positive. If you're a customer who's seeing DPC latency problems and have the nVidia graphics cards on your m17x, you may want to give this a shot.
M17x nVidia Beta Driver
Bear in mind this is a beta, and as such it is still a work in progress. If you opt to try it, please remember the following:
I'll post back here when there are any changes, or when a finalized version of the driver is released.
Update 3/22: For those of you who haven't already heard, an updated driver release for this specific issue has been posted on. Reports are that it's working well, with the only DPC latency spikes when a CD/DVD is ejected remaining. This specific behavior is still being investigated, but will be resolved in the future, and is fairly minor and easily avoidable.
For those of you who have swapped to ATI cards for this issue, our friends at NotebookReview have started a thread about specific issues you may encounter.
Thank you everyone once again for all of your patience regarding this issue.

Hi John
unfortunately this has not solved the nvidia gpu's upclocking /Downclocking i still have the same issues that i have previously mentioned to you.
I just ran the script. DPC Latency has actually worsened for me since doing this. Personally at this point I'm a bit confused how the in house engineers can get such good results while the rest of us can't. I still trust you guys to figure something out, but this fix seems to do little more than what many of us have already done manually, without positive results.
Start some music, and launch a game. That's all it takes to see the problem. The mystery is how the computer was ever released in a state like this.
Oh dear another "fix" that doesnt work. Cant wait for another one.
If the fix doesn't work for you, first please verify that you've tried the following steps, in order:
1. Verify you have BIOS A03 installed.2. Run the script.3. Uninstall and re-install the latest Dell posted WLAN driver.After you've done all that, contact me with that information, and send me your service tag. I'll be compiling that because I know my engineering friends are going to want all that information.
Same boat here a03 bios ran script uninstalled and reinstalled wlan driver worse than before.
hi john
1. Yes, definitely running A032. Done3. Ok, already had the driver but reinstalled anywaysI still have problemsI can not believe what is happening
Even the Bios A03 did not work I still get red spikes. When are Dell realising that it will have to replace this system with a new one or gives us a refound? We do not wish to wait for any more so called solutions. We just want what we paid for. We need to be able to use our laptops now and not six months later. How many times do we have to reinstall these drivers? Read the comments here.
All you have to do to get those massive spikes is one of the following
1- Run a video or audio file.
2- play a game
3- run a video on youtube.....
Do any of the following and post the latency checking readings, i bet you a $100 we will see at least 2 red bars every minute. Of course you will not see any red spikes with the laptop setting idle doing nothing........ it doesn't take an engineer to figure this out...
Seriously now...
Are you kidding me!?!?
Is this the log awaited "fix" that we have been told about?
Not fixed. I think you folks are grasping at straws.
Also, what OS did you test this on?
Hi. I am going through these steps and have run into a snag. Let me know what I should do next.
I had not made any changes to my system except to turn off SLI which seemed to help. Mostly I was waiting for an official fix. Now that this seems to be it I'm trying.
I installed A03. It seemed to go fine. It rebooted but when Windows started back up it ended up with a blank screen - just a mouse symbol. After trying a few times I thought maybe something was going on with the graphics cards (I have dual Nvidia 280s). I went to the Bios menu and disabled hybrid graphics. Sure enough it started up fine. I went through the remaining two steps. Installed the mass storage controller and WLAN updates fine.
So the computer is working, but my graphics cards are not on. When I try enabling hybrid graphics I always get the same blank screen with just a mouse symbol.
Could use some help. Thanks.
John, I don't want to get upset about this, particularly because you are only the front person and not the engineers responsible for diagnosing this issue. Why the hell are they continuing to ignore the evidence provided by the community. Most of us from notebookreview.com have already been on the Windows storage drivers for ages.
We have continued to post evidence of the GPU down-clocking issue (i.e. side-by-side DPC Latency + GPU-Z clocks) show the large spikes hitting when the cards change clock speeds. This happens allot, even when browsing the web or viewing on-line movies.
Here's my evidence for you. Notice the GPU clock changes...
i get the feeling you guys are STILL TESTING THE ISSUE ON VISTA.
and that screen shot was probably taken while idle.
please get win 7 and try it out, the issue is much more obvious in windows 7
i have a fresh windows 7 home premium 64 install, a03 bios, all dell drivers and nothing else installed except games which i use to test. oh and NO storage drivers installed.
and guess what?
this is an ss on idle

if you say that dell cant guarantee 3rd party apps will not cause the dpc then what is this laptop for if dell cannot guarantee it can run ANY GAME without stuttering due to dpc latency?
$7000 paperweight anyone?
There is NO REASON for us to keep waiting. its been over 6 months since you guys have discovered the problem and since you cant fix it, DO SOMETHING ELSE. are you determined to make us wait till all our warranties expire so that you dont have to do ***?
This is a wothless fix! If you are reading this don't get your hopes up.

TUPELO – When he came here in 2008, Jan Dijkwel wasn't sure what to expect from ballet students in Northeast Mississippi.
"I needed to know if there was an interest in the students and the community to go the extra mile," said Dijkwel, a master ballet teacher who's worked with dancers at Brigham Young University and Ballet West in Utah. "There was a strong interest, and that motivated me."
He formed the Civic Ballet company last year, and now he's looking for a new group of committed dancers.
"We'd like to keep it at around 20 to make the classroom and teaching environment most beneficial for the students," said Dijkwel, who also teaches dance at the University of Mississippi.
Auditions will be 2 to 4 p.m. Friday at North Mississippi Dance Centre, 3480 Browning Drive, Tupelo. There's a $10 audition fee.
"With the professional experience I have as a dancer, choreographer and teacher, I'm equipped to teach the details behind the technique," he said. "The company was created with that in mind."
Dijkwel, who performed extensively with the Dutch National Ballet, said his goal is to focus on the process of dancing, rather than the product.
"If the student learns why we do these things, they progress much faster because they can feel it. They can understand it," he said.
The 20 new company members will meet on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. The Civic Ballet is a nonprofit organization that accepts donations from corporations and individuals to help cover the dancer's costs.
"It's very important to me that everyone who wants to dance and can make it, actually can do it," he said.

For real collectors, here is a really obscure item (and way too expensive). Debated which forum to put it in, but landed on football.
Scarce CFL 21 Blaise Bryant Winnipeg Blue Bombers Game Worn Jersey Iowa State | eBay
400 bucks for that...
The Official Paul Rhode's Salt Truck Driver.
I would maybe pay a nickle for that.
It would be worth a lot more if it came with a life sized cardboard cutout of his head sticking out of it.
That's it.
The price tag surprised me too. It is kind of a neat piece, but don't know who would pay $400 for it.
i would love to get an old bryant ISU jersey but thats it. and wouldnt ever pay that much for it. i am in the market for knott and klein jerseys however... got my 1 1/2 year old son a cool troy davis jersey for xmas for only $5!!

Photo Opportunity
Photo Opportunity is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
Carl "CJ" Johnson recieves a phone call from Cesar Vialpando. Cesar had been tracking a Ballas car, most likely coming to San Fierro to acquire some cocaine. Cesar wants CJ to come with him. Cesar is outside the city, on a highway near a billboard and a factory. Once CJ finds Cesar, the two travel towards Angle Pine, where the car was last headed. After entering the small town, CJ and Cesar position themselves on a rooftop overlooking a Cluckin' Bell. CJ brings out a camera and plans to take pictures, believing this to be a meeting.Soon after, a Picador pulls in. Its Ryder, along with a Ballas member. After Ryder, another man pulls in. Cesar identifies him as T-Bone Mendez, shortly follwed by a man in a suit, [[[Mike Toreno]]]. Then finally, a fourth man [Jizzy B] joins them. He is identified as a pimp by CJ, but both Cesar and CJ do not know him. After taking pictures of all four men, Cesar and CJ leave Angel Pine, stopping by a gas station. Cesar leaves CJ at the gas station, saying he'll meet him back in San Fierro.

About what I expected.
I hope BMW and Kawasaki have found a direction in this test so they make a big improvement ready for the next test, because Vermeulen and Corser are both capable of running at the front. Tbh I'm slightly dissapointed with both camps, BMW dont look to have made any improvements over the winter and Kawasaki need to pull their finger out because, testing or not, you cant get away from the fact that they are 2 secs off the pace. Every rider present at the test would have tried at least one "quick one" in the 3 days imo.
Tell you what thats a blistering time from Rea aswell!

I've been offered an 1943 Ithaca. I'm told it has all proper markings for a government gun & appears to be all original -- it is not a mix and match gun -- but might have been arsenal rebuilt as the slide is just a shade different than the frame. The only thing that appears to be added are the sights, they do not look like originals. Do not know how many rounds have been thru it. Any idea what this might be worth guys? Isn't there something like the Kelly Blue Book for firearms?

Women in Mariachi shatter stereotypes
Groundbreaking exhibit & Oct. 13 concert at California Women's Museum designed to provoke thought and appreciation for maverick musicians
Ashley Gardner, the director of the Point Loma-based Women's Museum of California, was understandably intrigued when she was approached to launch an exhibit about the history of women in the intensely male-dominated world of Mariachi music.
"I was surprised to learn there were women in Mariachi," she said. "Like lots of people, my vision of Mariachi had been of three to five male Mariachi musicians, serenading me in a Mexican restaurant. That was the extent of my knowledge.
"So to learn that, as early as 1903, a woman figured out how to follow her passion and play in a Mariachi group, was amazing. To see the evolution, and know that there are now over 30 women Mariachi groups in the U.S., is also amazing."
That evolution is the focus of the meticulously researched and compiled "¡Viva el Mariachi Femenil! 1903-2013" ("Long Live Female Mariachis!"), which opened here last month at the 30-year-old Women's Museum of California and runs through Nov. 3. A concert featuring four all-women Mariachi bands, including the Grammy Award-nominated Trio Ellas, will be held at the museum next Sunday afternoon, Oct. 13.
For those whose only familiarity with women's role in the music may be Linda Ronstadt's Grammy Award-winning 1987 Mariachi album, "Canciones de Mi Padre" ("Songs of My Father"), the exhibit and concert could prove to be something of a revelation.
¡Viva el Mariachi Femenil! 1903-2013, an exhibit chronicling the role of women in Mariachi music
When: Noon to 4 p.m., Weds. through Sunday; open noon to 8 p.m. on Nov. 1. (Oct. 13 concert information appears on next page.)
Where: Women's Museum of California, Barracks 16, 2730 Historic Decatur Road, Liberty Station, Point Loma
Admission: $5 (general); $3 (seniors and students)
Online: womensmuseumca.org
The exhibit and concert are the brainchild of Leonor Xochitl Perez, Ph.D, one of the foremost scholars on the evolution of women in Mariachi music and the San Diego Symphony's Artistic Projects Manager. She is the author of the seminal essay "Transgressing the Taboo: A Chicana's Voice in the Mariachi World," which was published in the 2002 book "Chicana Traditions: Continuity and Change" (University of Illinois Press).
Together with Laura Sobrino and Nancy Munoz, Perez compiled the collection of interviews, photographs, film footage and artifacts featured in "¡Viva el Mariachi Femenil!" But before they could even start compiling, an enormous amount of painstaking investigative work was required.
"Leonor and Laura are telling this story through groundbreaking research," said Daniel Sheehy, the author of "Mariachi Music in America: Experience Music, Expressing Culture" (Oxford University Press, 2006). He is the director and curator of Smithsonian Folkways Recordings in Washington, D.C., and the former longtime director of the Smithsonian Center for Folk Life & Cultural Heritage.
"There have been mentions of women in Mariachi music before," Sheehy continued. "But to have an entire exhibition – based on serious research into ethnomusicology and sociology – at a major venue, in a major urban market, is unprecedented."
Perez is an East Los Angeles native who earned her doctorate at UCLA and is the former program manager for Harvard University's Center of Excellence in Minority Health and Health Disparities. She grew up immersed in the traditions of Mariachi, both as a listener and as a classically trained violinist. Mariachi was brought to California, and much of the United States, by Mexican immigrants. The music was quickly embraced by many Mexican-Americans as their own.
"It's hard for me to recall when I heard Mariachi for the first time, because it was and is so present in the environment of anyone who lives in East L.A. It's embedded in our daily lives," Perez said.

Mr. Popper's Penguins Trailer Debuts With A Vanilla Ice Dance Number
By Josh Tyler 2011-03-23 19:21:11 comments
Theres a moment in the new trailer Im about to show you for Mr. Poppers Penguins, in which my feelings towards it nearly took a turn for the worse. Its towards the end, right as Jim Carrey and his CGI penguin friends are about to start a dance number, and as the music starts up theres that moment when whats about to play could either be Queens Under Pressure or Vanilla Ices Ice, Ice Baby. Under Pressure is almost without question my favorite song of all time. Had they used it in this movie, Id have thrown my speakers out the open window adjacent to my desk. But of course they go the obvious route with Ice, Ice Baby, this is a penguin movie after all, so Im happy to report that this trailer is mostly harmless. I mean, at least its not The Smurfs.
Heres the first ever teaser trailer Mr. Poppers Penguins in which Jim Carrey plays Mr. Popper and lives with penguins. Grab a coat and watch it in HD on Fandango or embedded below:
Hanging out with a bunch of animals in his apartment is how Jim Carrey really kick-started his career, as the animal obsessive Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. That worked once, maybe itll work again?
Somehow, I dont think there will be a place in this movie for Jim to talk with his butt. This is the lovable, family friend Jim Carrey who does forgettable comedies you can see with your Mom. On that vibe, this trailer delivers. Penguins seem to like it:
What do you think? Let us know in the comments below.

Poyet's Palace preview

Head coach sits down with SAFSee - watch now.
Gus Poyet says Saturday's game against Crystal Palace is "massive" as he looks for three key points against the Eagles.
"You can't negotiate passion, desire, commitment, giving everything," he told SAFSee at the club's Academy of Light training HQ.
"Then it's up to us to use our ability and our way of playing football and impose that on the game and the opposition.
"This is a typical game where we need to be smart, read the game well, expect everything from the opposition and then go on and win."

Brighton, England-based publisher Lace Mamba Global has responded to recent accusations by developer CBE Software that it broke its publishing agreements for J.U.L.I.A. and J.U.L.I.A. Untold when it failed to deliver money the two companies "mutually agreed upon" or royalty payments. The developer claimed that it tried to resolve the issue with the publisher amicably but gave up on that after it received no response from the publisher. But Lace Mamba said that CBE Software's statement was false and full of inaccuracies and that they had only recently become aware of CBE's statement.
"This press release contained a number of inaccuracies and false statements that we had only become aware of via the release of this statement," said Lace Mamba. "Lace Mamba Global would like to state that they have tried to contact CBE Software to resolve this issue amicably but have yet been successful in raising a response."
While the publisher denies CBE's accusations, it sounds like it wants to resolve the matter amicably and quietly:
"Out of respect for confidentiality to those parties involved we do not wish to publicly comment further at this time on individual matters relating to this or any other issue raised by either this press release or subsequent comments."
CBE Software is currently trying to get the Steam Community to approve its game J.U.L.I.A. for inclusion on the platform via a Steam Greenlight campaign.

I hate Facebook embeds, but it works great.

I have it running on my own site and it seems to work quite well. It's not often I'll need to embed Facebook posts, but it's good to know I can if/when needed :)

Chit funds: You save your money, you take your chances
Amid the setbacks affecting India's microfinance market an old time tradition has emerged with potential to provide an alternative for economic mobility.
'Chit funds', which exist in both formal and informal settings, are savings groups that offer return investment through either a raffle or bidding system. Although the method has been popular worldwide for centuries, India is the only country where it has a formal existence in the private sector.
An informal chit fund consists of a small group of people (usually women) pooling their savings. Every month everyone contributes an equal amount, and every month a member of the group has the chance to win the pool. Each member can only do so once until everyone has had a chance to "win." The formal arrangements are more or less the same, but instead of choosing one of their own to handle the fund, members hire a private company to do so, and the savings pools tend to be much larger. Typically in either arrangement the appointed treasurer (or company) makes about five percent of the total pool every month.
The appeal? Chit funds rely on saving rather than lending, making them more stable. And their popularity has soared—the largest chit fund consists of over 800 million dollars, writes The Economist. With new microloans down approximately 40 percent in the past year, chit funds may offer a safer, more stable means of financial mobility.

Members of the group Floridians for Immigration Enforcement say Rubio is breaking a 2010 campaign promise to oppose amnesty because Rubio has become a key supporter of legislation that includes a pathway to citizenship for people who are now in the country illegally.
"I expended shoe leather and time and energy helping Marco Rubio become the senator in Florida and now he's gone back on his campaign promises on amnesty," said Ed Bender of Pompano Beach. "You want to call it a path to citizenship…the net result is people get to call themselves citizens on some level and the reality of it is billions and billions of additional dollars that this country does not have to support new citizens."
Rubio, in a brief interview with the Politics column before his speech, said the bill he and other members of the bipartisan "Gang of Eight" have drafted does not grant amnesty to the estimated 11 million people in the country illegally.
"I think their definition of amnesty is anything that doesn't deport 11 million people. And I say 'theirs' – that specific group, I'm not saying everybody has that same definition," Rubio said of the demonstrators.
"When you're asking someone to pay a $2,000 fine, an application fee, undergo a background check and a national security background check and all the other elements that are involved in this and wait 10 years before they can even apply for a Green Card and not qualify for any federal benefits – when you're asking someone to go through all of that, that's not amnesty. That's a significant undertaking," Rubio said.
Rubio has repeatedly called the Senate legislation a "starting point" and says he's open to amendments and changes to the bill.
"I never pretended that eight senators could come up with a piece of legislation that we could offer to everyone as a take-it-or-leave-it proposition," Rubio said.
To win support in the Republican-controlled House, Rubio said, "I think where we still need to do a little bit of work is on firming up the border security things to ensure that the border security happens."

The Missoula City Council has voted to adopt a resolution of intent that would create a special tax district.
The city already has two special districts -- one for roads and another for parks. Now the council wants a third to fund police and fire improvements.
"This is how we have funded previous, major facilities. We've done the aquatics, the fire stations and fire equipment with general obligation bonds. Those are additional taxes so this is comparable with it," said City Chief Administrative Officer Bruce Bender.
How will this affect taxpayers?
"What would happen in the first year is we would assess what would happen in the first year, a little over $300,000 to the district, so that would affect somebody with a typical house value of $250,000, their taxes would go up $11," said Bender.
In the second year, the tax district would raise over to $800,000 to pay for updated equipment and an improved police facility. The net effect to taxpayers would be a $24 tax hike for a home valued at $250,000.
Several who spoke Monday night were not too happy.
"This is corrupt. I don't care. There's no other word for it. This is corrupt. And the problem is you've been doing it this way for so long that nobody even understands that it's corrupt," said a community member.
Monday's vote doesn't actually create the district but it sets a process in motion.
The public will have the opportunity to weigh in. The protest period will begin April 22 and ends June 20.

The Royals stormed back for a 4-3 win over Boston tonight. Let's look at the photos!
David DeJesus started the rally with a double.
Scott Podsednik is a gamer…he put down a great sac bunt to move DeJesus to third.
After a walk to Alberto Callaspo, Willie Bloomquist came in as a pinch runner for "Bert". Bloomquist stole second base during Billy Butler's at-bat. That set the table for Rick Ankiel, who was 3-for-3 at the time and a triple shy of the cycle. There's no need for a cycle when you drive in a pair with a single! Bloomquist came around to score the go-ahead run.
Joakim Soria and Jason Kendall celebrated after Soria's first save of 2010. Then, it was time for Fireworks Friday presented by Hy-Vee and Pepsi!

Brooke Burke Charvet Gushes About Being Cancer Free
February 06, 2013 04:00 PM by Lisa Princ
Back in December, Brooke Burke Charvet underwent surgery for thyroid cancer, and has spent the past two months recovering. Now, the Dancing With The Stars co-host revealed that she has been given a positive prognosis from her doctor – she is completely cancer free!
It's no wonder Brooke Burke Charvet would be beaming and ready burst with her good news when she recently paid a visit to Extra. You see, Brooke explained that she recently went for a follow up visit with her doctor, and she is cancer free!
"I feel great…The cancer is gone, it's out! I feel lucky. It's business as usual and back to normal," The Dancing With The Stars co-host gushed.
If you missed her story, Brooke Burke Charvet revealed that she had thyroid cancer back in November 2012, and then underwent a successful surgery in December to remove the cancer. A week after her surgery, Brooke was positive as a follow up suggested that the doctors had removed all the cancer, but of course, she still needed another follow up visit to be certain.
The 41-year old mother of four spent the last two months recovering, which she says went much better than she anticipated. The cancer also gave Charvet a new lease on life, as she stated in the past that she will no longer take life for granted.
Kudos to Brooke Burke Charvet for her strength during this awful time in her life. We are thrilled to hear that she is cancer free, and can't wait to see her again on the new season of Dancing With The Stars!
What do you think of Brooke Burke Charvet's cancer ordeal? We know you have an opinion and we want to hear it! Comment below to share your thoughts with us, or to leave some cheer for Brooke.

The title of Robben Ford's new CD, "Bringing It Back Home," suggests a return to musical roots for the 61-year-old electric guitarist, who has distinguished himself since the early 1970s as a master of jazz, blues and rock performance.
Yet for anyone who has followed the Grammy-nominated Ford since his professional origins backing blues legends Charlie Musselwhite and Jimmy Witherspoon, through his years touring with saxophonist Tom Scott, George Harrison, Joni Mitchell and Miles Davis, as well as his impressive solo career as a guitar virtuoso and singer-songwriter, the notion that Ford ever strayed from his roots is inconceivable.
"I've never left them," Ford says. "The album's title actually refers to a certain feeling I wanted during recording, a feeling of openness, an authentic, real vibe of people engaged in the joy of making music. That's what I was looking for."
Ford will be engaging that joy when he plays the Triple Door on Wednesday, performing some of the blues material appearing on his upbeat and eclectic new release.

Most Read Stories
Ford's solo albums have largely focused on original songs and instrumentals, but he has occasionally included tunes by such pioneers as Duke Ellington, Booker T. Jones and Willie Dixon. With the exception of one track ("Oh, Virginia") he wrote for his latest release, however, the new album is steeped in the legacies of other composers.
Ford carefully selected songs that would lend themselves to an easygoing collaboration with other players.
"It was very intentional for me not to write, but to find really good material that felt right to perform and sing," he says. "You find a great song off the beaten path you feel good playing and that you can relate to and represent authentically. Then you get the right group of people together, and it's all about the joy of making music. If I'd written a bunch of songs, there'd be too much thinking about it instead of a situation where everyone in the band can be themselves, open up and just go."
Despite that clear goal, Ford says the album was as much a journey as any other.
"The first thing I did was an instrumental, 'On That Morning,' an old gospel song by an unknown artist. The mood was like Miles Davis' 'Kind of Blue.' I was thinking about giving a deep, moody quality to the whole record, but that changed when I started finding songs like Allen Touissant's 'Everything I Do Gonna Be Funky' and Charlie Doyle's 'Slick Caper Blues.' The record took on a different personality, a close, warm, inviting feeling that you're in the same room with the band."

Between May 10 and 18 Assistant Professor of Biology Sarah Comstock, Ph.D., led a group of twelve Health Science students on a medical mission trip to Haiti. The trip offered many unique experiences to her students, most of whom are interested in pursuing careers in health care.
Comstock wrote her reflections on the mission in Haiti and its impact on her students and the people they served.
Provost Matt Lucas and his daughter, Abbie, accompanied our team, bringing the Corban total to 15. In addition, the team of 36 was composed of five physicians, a nurse practitioner, a dentist, eight registered nurses and six additional members with various talents and abilities.
We held medical clinics for five of the six full days while we were in the country. The physicians were able to treat approximately 2,000 people during that time. While the impact on the people we visited was significant, I believe the trip had a much stronger, and longer lasting, impact on the students.
Throughout the mission, students had unique opportunities to show the love of Jesus Christ to the people of Haiti. They worked in triage, taking temperatures and blood pressures and interviewing patients about their symptoms. They worked in the pharmacy handing out medications and vitamins to the patients. They worked along-side the providers, helping to diagnose and treat the patients. They also educated the Haitian people about simple, yet crucial, health practices such as hand washing and water sterilization.
I can say, without a doubt, that the students we selected to take on this team represented Jesus Christ and the university well. They worked in the Bible and education station, praying with patients, sharing God's Word. They worked tirelessly to serve the Haitian people and, when the clinics came to a close, they worked diligently to serve the doctors and nurses on the team.
There were moments when each team member felt like giving up. Partly because of the three hour bus rides in 100 degree heat, because they were being relentlessly tormented by malaria infested mosquitoes and because of the hour-long treks uphill to far away villages. However, they continually relied on Christ as their source and strength.
Our team leaders, Dr. Guesly Dessieux and Nurse Debbie Turrell, should be commended for their guidance. Both have taken several medical mission trips to Haiti. On this trip, they worked together to provide unique encounters for our Health Science students that they would not have had the opportunity to experience in the United States.
During a discussion I had with Doctor Dessieux, he indicated that he, and the team of practitioners and nurses, may have been able to see more patients if they did not have students to train. However, as leaders, their goal is not simply to treat the sick but also to prepare and inspire tomorrow's physicians and nurses.
Our students came back inspired to dedicate themselves to succeed in their chosen professions in order to "make a difference in the world for Jesus Christ." While they understood that the physical impact they made during the week in Haiti may have been minimal, they were able to share Christ's love and make an everlasting, eternal impact.
Thank you all for your prayers, encouragement and support!

Laura Hatfield, PhD is an Assistant Professor of Health Care Policy, with a specialty in Biostatistics. Her work focuses on understanding trade-offs and relationships among health outcomes. Dr. Hatfield develops and applies statistical methods that enhance accuracy and efficiency by incorporating multiple sources of information and relationships among outcomes.
For example, Medicare Advantage enrollees report on numerous aspects of quality in their insurance plans and medical care through CAHPS surveys. Their answers depend on personal characteristics, so plan-level quality scores should be adjusted for the mix of enrollees. Standard casemix adjustment methods assume the effects are constant across plans. Dr. Hatfield, with Alan Zaslavsky, is developing hierarchical models for the variation and relationships among effects within and across outcomes.
Another project concerns medical device safety and efficacy. Observational studies of devices in real-world clinical settings can illuminate differences in the benefits and harms for different types of patients. As part of the MDEpiNet Methodology Center led by Sharon-Lise Normand, Dr. Hatfield is developing methods to combine evidence across multiple populations and outcomes.
Medical technology growth and changing benefits imply that health care spending will consume more of seniors' resources. Dr. Hatfield, with Tom McGuire and Mike Chernew, is using microsimulation to forecast supplemental health insurance coverage and health care spending of Medicare beneficiaries. These models incorporate complex interrelations among spending growth, consumer choices, and income effects.
Dr. Hatfield received her BS from Iowa State University and her MS and PhD in biostatistics from the University of Minnesota.

Several parasitic wasps help control the leafminer. Parasite activity is usually highest and easiest
to see following an outbreak of leafminers. The actual level of parasitization is highest, however, when
leafminer populations are low.
Female parasites usually lay their eggs in the leaf mine formed at the beginning of the tissue-feeding
stage. After hatching, parasitic larvae generally attach themselves to the outside of fourth- or fifth-instar
leafminers. The parasite grows rapidly and consumes the leafminer by its fifth instar. It then pupates
within the leaf mine, at about the same time as the leafminer would have. Although smaller than a leafminer
pupa, the parasite pupa can be distinguished by its larger head and eyes and flattened body. Following
pupation, the adult parasite cuts a hole in the leaf and emerges. Adult parasites are small but easy to
spot when populations are abundant because they fly in groups that hover near infested trees. Adult parasites
feed on the sap-feeding leafminers.
