Join us Friday, May 19 at 10 a.m. for our Friday Financial Forum. We will meet at the Friday Forum Room at Arvest's East Side Branch, located at 4225 S.E. Adams Rd. in Bartlesville, Okla.* Our featured speaker this week is Arlando Parker, chief executive officer and founder of Nehemiah Community Development Corporation, who will be speaking about the cottage housing development the Bartlesville-based non-profit is building in west Bartlesville.
The 22 tiny-to-small cottage homes are part of an affordable home project called The Cottages on Sixth Street being developed as rental units on 1.68 undeveloped acres east of Virginia Avenue between Adams Boulevard. The cottages will be constructed in three sizes — 544 square feet, 612 square feet and 1,080 square feet, complete with front porches and sharing a common outdoor area
Earlier this year, the Bartlesville City Council approved rezoning from limited commercial to multifamily planned unit development/site development plan designation due to constructing more buildings into less space, using a 3-foot property line setbacks instead of the required 25-foot setbacks.
Parker said the property will be developed in two phases with the first phase being nine units built along Adams Boulevard.

Many people choose to work through chemotherapy treatment and a lot of those people still have to work in order to pay bills and continue to have health coverage. It isn't easy, but it can be managed. I worked throughout the six months of my treatment. I was adamant about continuing to work; it kept me feeling normal and in control of the disease.
It really depends on how you react to your treatment. I still had enough energy throughout the treatment to carry on with normal living but I really had to rest during my down time, and I paid attention to my physical needs and symptoms. Most importantly was how I planned the chemo sessions. I expected to feel tired and even sick the following day, so I would routinely schedule the day after chemo as a vacation or sick day. I planned my chemo for Thursday afternoons so that I could work the half day in the morning, leave for chemo and then take the next day (Friday) off. I did this every 3-4 weeks with a chemo session. Then of course I had the weekend off to rest up for the next week. It was fortunate for me that I didn't work a schedule that included a seven day week. I don't know if I could have managed it if I didn't have those weekends off.
Trying to schedule chemo when you work a schedule that rotates days off is a little more tricky. The idea of being off from work for the whole duration of treatment is wonderful, but not realistic for most people. Family medical leave in Michigan where I live allows for up to 12 weeks off for illness. Many people can't afford that time off and still pay for health-care. It then comes down to planning chemotherapy around days off with the best use of vacation days. It might be helpful to take a calendar with you to your doctor and work with him/her to plan a schedule that is optimum for battling the disease, but makes the best use of your time off. Once you build a schedule with your doctor, meeting with your employer can also address a work schedule that doesn't accommodate a cancer diagnosis.
Most employers are willing to work with employees who have a medical need. Many organizations and even small business don't want to be known as being unsympathetic to an employee battling cancer. In the case of breast cancer you can stress to your employer that treatment is only temporary. It will be over in 4 – 6 months. Using your vacation and sick days may be all you need to do to accommodate a chemo schedule.
Fighting breast cancer is stressful. Making plans for treatment is also tough, but planning for anything always helps alleviate the stress. Working with your doctor and your employer to make them partners so the best outcome is achieved is the best path for most people.

106 HASKINS & SELLS December SOME of the principal differences which have been noted between the Revenue Act of 1921 and that of 1918, are summarized briefly in the following memoranda. Copies of the new act are now on file in all the practice offices and the men of the staff should familiarize themselves immediately with the details of these provisions which are given here only in memorandum form. In the case of property acquired by gift after December 31, 1920, the basis for determining gain or loss on subsequent sale is the same as it would have been in the hands of the donor or the last preceding owner by whom it was not acquired by gift. In case of exchange of property for other property, no gain or loss shall be recognized unless the property received in exchange has a readily realizable market value. Even if property so received has a readily realizable market value no gain or loss shall be recognized in the following cases: 1. When property held for investment or for productive use in trade or business (except inventories) is exchanged for like property; 2. When in a reorganization a person receives in place of securities held, securities in a corporation which is a party to or the result of such reorganization; 3. Where one or more persons transfer property to a corporation and are immediately after in control of the corporation. Control means ownership of 80% of voting stock and 80% of all other stock. Net losses in any year beginning after December 31, 1920, are deductible from succeeding year and if still remaining, then in next succeeding year. The tax on capital net gains (after December 31, 1921) is limited to 1 2 ½% of such gain, except that total tax cannot be less than 12½% of total net income. Capital net gain—taxable gain on capital assets—(losses on capital assets are deductions allocable to capital gains). Capital assets mean property acquired and held for profit or investment for more than two years (other than for personal use). Does not apply to corporations. Surtax rates for 1922 and thereafter: 1%, $6,000 to $10,000 2%, $10,000 to $12,000 and 1% additional on each additional $2,000 up to $100,000 (except $20,000 and $32,000), at which point the tax is 48% to $150,000, 49% to $200,000, and 50% above $200,000. Traveling expenses (including the entire amount expended for meals and lodging) while away from home in pursuit of a trade or business, allowed as a deduction. No losses allowed on sale of securities after November 23, 1921, if identical securities are purchased within thirty days and such securities are held for any period. Reserve for bad debts allowed, in discretion of Commissioner. Where debts are recoverable only in part, they may be charged off in part. In case of depletion based on discovery values, such depletion may not exceed income derived from property on which discovery is made. Contribution provision has been broadened to include gifts to United States, any New Provisions in the Revenue Act of 1921

OK then, I killed a person (actually 2), which is my legal right to do, because I didn't want another human being using my body for 9 months, and possibly hurting or killing me (childbirth is still the number one killer of women worldwide). I stopped something from affecting my health, the ability to do my job, from ruining my psychological life, and I prevented passing along my family's not-so-great genes onto the next generation. And the 'life', which had no consciousness (and I don't believe in souls as an atheist) never even knew it, and it happened in a totally natural way (I used IU486 both times, so exactly like a miscarriage). I'm morally totally fine with that. If you are not, then don't have an abortion, that's fine with me. I could not live with children of my own, nor could I afford it - at 34 I am currently finding a home for my cat because I'm unable to provide adequate care for her.How sad is that?
To whoever said that women who have had an abortion live with it for the rest of their lives - I say yes, and thank goodness I don't have two kids right now. I'm glad for that every single day. Incredibly thankful. If I had to kill two non-conscious, 5-week old balls of DNA that could become people one day, I really have no issue with that.
The military discovered a large stash of pornography in bin Laden's compound. I was unaware that Islam had its own Acts 29 Network.It's hard to imagine the president of a Southern Baptist college, which is supported by the Cooperative Program ($1 million a year in fact), would stoop to such levels as to place on his Twitter account such an unChristlike statement.
@EmirCaner I love you my brother & I am proud of U in so many ways. You a better man than your bin Laden/Acts 29 tweet.My hope is that Dr. Caner will recognize his error and how it hurts the Body of Christ and causes division and seek to rectify this wrong by apologizing and removing the tweet from his Twitter page. If you join me in calling Dr. Caner to apologize, please say so in the comments. I hope to direct a trustee or two of Truett-McConnell to my blog tomorrow.
I have come to realize over the past few days that Driscoll's vulgarity is far too serious an issue to simply put out a satirical tweet. While it is easy to find Driscoll crossing the line (see articles by John MacArthur and Cathy Mickels) it should not be likewise with me, and for that I apologize.Soon after seeing this I was contacted by a few pastors who expressed their displeasure with Caner's statement. While speaking to one such pastor, I was contacted by Mike Dorough, Youth Pastor at Second Baptist Church, Warner Robbins, GA, and current Chairman of the Board of Trustees for Truett-McConnell College. He noted that Emir Caner had asked him to call and hoped that his statement would be sufficient.
It isn't easy to develop a biblical imagination that takes in the comprehensive and eternal work of Christ . . . Rob Bell goes a long way in helping us acquire just such an imagination--without a trace of soft sentimentality and without compromising an inch of evangelical conviction.
Rob Bell and anyone else who is baptized is my brother or my sister. We have different ways of looking at things, but we are all a part of the kingdom of God. And I don't think that brothers and sisters in the kingdom of God should fight. I think that's bad family manners.
I don't agree with everything Rob Bell says. But I think they're worth saying. I think he puts a voice into the whole evangelical world which, if people will listen to it, will put you on your guard against judging people too quickly, making rapid dogmatic judgments on people. I don't like it when people use hell and the wrath of God as weaponry against one another.
I knew that people would jump on me for writing the endorsement. I wrote the endorsement because I would like people to listen to him. He may not be right. But he's doing something worth doing. There's so much polarization in the evangelical church that it's a true scandal. We've got to learn how to talk to each other and listen to each other in a civil way.
Yes, I guess I do think they ought to reexamine. They ought to be a good bit more biblical, not taking things out of context.
But the people who are against Rob Bell are not going to reexamine anything. They have a litmus test for who is a Christian and who is not. But that's not what it means to live in community.
Luther said that we should read the entire Bible in terms of what drives toward Christ. Everything has to be interpreted through Christ. Well, if you do that, you're going to end up with this religion of grace and forgiveness. The only people Jesus threatens are the Pharisees. But everybody else gets pretty generous treatment. There's very little Christ, very little Jesus, in these people who are fighting Rob Bell.
And when [the Holy Spirit] comes, He will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment: concerning sin, because they do not believe in Me; concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father, and you will see Me no longer; concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged. I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. When the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all the truth, for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak, and He will declare to you the things that are to come. He will glorify Me, for He will take what is Mine and declare it to you. All that the Father has is Mine; therefore I said that He will take what is mine and declare it to you (John 16:8-15, ESV).
Here Jesus says several things about the work of the Spirit in salvation. First, He convicts of sin. This is the first action wrought in the believer. Salvation does not come without conviction of sin. Those who are poor in spirit understand that conviction. And notice that the sin directly relates to their unbelief in Christ. So not only does the believer get convicted of sin, but of unbelief in Christ. Then the Holy Spirit guides the believer into truth and glorifies Christ. Finally, He discloses the Father's will and Christ's words and deeds to the believer so that He might be sanctified, another act of the Holy Spirit.
Now, those who believe in a salvation for people who do not confess Christ as Lord, they have no outs here. There is nothing in this text or any other that suggest that the Holy Spirit works apart from Christ and glorifies God without glorifying Christ. Both Father and Son are uplifted by the Spirit. Further, the Spirit brings life. He is the one who applies the work of salvation to the believer. Thus He only applies it by means of the formula given by Peter in Acts 2:38, "Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit" (ESV). The Holy Spirit can only apply the work of salvation to those who by faith acknowledge the Lordship of Christ. Otherwise, He would be working outside of His jurisdiction and thus be making Christ a liar and usurping His subordinate role. Furthermore, the Holy Spirit would be denying Christ His due glory -- the glory due His name, the name at which all men will bow.
So, what we have here is a thoroughly Biblical argument which once again ends in the exclusivity of the Gospel call. No one can be saved apart from the work of the Holy Spirit. No one can inherit eternal life without the righteousness of Christ. And the Holy Spirit cannot give anyone that righteousness anonymously. He must do it as every good ambassador does, by means of His King, the One who sent Him. In this case, it is Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God.
As Rob Bell's book appears, let's pray that the Holy Spirit continues to glorify Christ by reminding us of the truth that He has communicated for 2000 years - the truth that He inspired Peter to communicate in Acts 4:12:
...there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.
Because of the visibility of the position, there are people across the United States who want to look for things that perhaps I do not do as well or they think we should do different, and perhaps be critical of myself or of Highview, just to try to get their name in the paper," he said. "Typically those are bloggers who live with their mother and wear a housecoat during the day. Just ignore them, but I apologize if you are hurt by anything that they might say about me or indirectly about you.Quickly the news spread and was picked up by SBC Voices where he was criticized by blogger Dave Miller and many of his readers. Additionally, other Southern Baptist bloggers like Peter Lumpkins and Wade Burleson blasted Ezell for his words as well. On Monday, September 27th, James R. White of Alpha & Omega Ministries posted a video regarding recent comments of a similar nature made by Ergun Caner, the former President of Liberty Theological Seminary who was removed from his position earlier this year for what a Liberty University investigative committee called "factual statements that are self-contradictory." White referenced David McGee's article published by the Media General News Service on September 25th, entitled, "Caner Defends Background in Bristol Speech", in which Ergun Caner, speaking after his appearance at Bristol's (VA.) 12th annual prayer breakfast at the Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites, made the following statement regarding bloggers:
We saw it (controversy) coming. My brothers and I have been dealing with it for years. This just happened to bounce big, and I paid no attention. News means little to me, and the Web is — well, bloggers for the most part — are just frustrated people in their basements.With Kevin Ezell being roundly criticized by many in the Baptist Identity camp, will these same men and women, who previously backed Caner during the height of his controversy, now in turn criticize him for the essentially same comments? Will this even make news in Southern Baptist circles? Only time will tell. Meanwhile, I've got to get out of the basement - I have ministry to do.
Paul was not interested merely in the ethical principles of religion or of ethics. On the contrary, he was interested in the redeeming work of Christ and its effect upon us. His primary interest was in Christian doctrine, and Christian doctrine not merely in its presuppositions but at its centre. -- J. Greshem Machen.

Guest column: Disappointed in the Sierra Club's lawsuit
Guest columnist
My first job out of college was canvassing door-to-door in Los Angeles building a new membership base for the national Sierra Club. It was a tough job – especially when actress Holly Hunter slammed the door in my face. I still consider myself an environmentalist and care deeply for our lake, the forest and trails as well as our mountains in Tahoe. My wife even helped start the Tahoe Area Sierra Club many years ago with a good friend, but now I wish they hadn't. They felt a local chapter of the national organization would be good to add another voice to support protection of this important lake. It was a long process and a lot of great folks worked hard to make it happen. Over the years, the Tahoe chapter has been a constructive voice adding to the deliberations about growth in our community and its impacts on the lake – until this past week.
It now appears a few, strong-willed people have made it their mission to stop everything in our community. Instead of sitting down together with other stakeholders and members of the public to talk about solutions, discuss differences of opinions and try to find common ground, these same people have sabotaged the Regional Plan Update in order to meet their demands. What is ironic is that both the League to Save Lake Tahoe and the Sierra Club were invited to participate in a multiple work groups to help work through some of the tough issues before final adoption of the RPU. The League chose to offer solutions and its new executive director realized that no Bi-state Compact and no regional plan would be much worse for our environment and our lake in the end. I am glad the League chose to collaborate – that is the way things should be.
The fact that the Sierra Club was invited to participate and chose not to, but now choses to sue (through Earthjustice) the very agency that asked them to be a part of the solution is incredulous and truly unfair to the rest of our community.
Unfortunately, the Sierra Club and this newly formed West Shore homeowners group seem to have taken up the old ways of adversarial politics. Instead of working together and finding solutions, it's "if we don't get what we want, we'll sue." I thought those days were long over. My wife makes her living helping communities come together to find solutions and collaborate. She has seen success over and over again when folks try to understand their differences and work together. Why is Tahoe not able to do this? Why are we still stuck in the 1980s – literally and figuratively in many cases? Why has our community seen such little progress, both toward environmental and economic improvements? In my opinion, it is because of the adversarial style of a few people, rather than a collaborative community working together for the betterment of all.
This RPU has protocols and protections in place and no one will be developing behemoth Vegas-style buildings on the lake. The plan isn't perfect – no plan truly is as it is impossible to know the future. But this is why our governmental agencies have strived very hard to include the public in their planning efforts. The Tahoe Regional Planning Agency just held two workshops for the public, contractors, planners and others to review the new regulations in an open, transparent way. Because of the Sierra Club/Friends of the West Shore/Earthjustice lawsuit – all that is up in the air.
Lake Tahoe needs responsible progress. We have to move beyond the trenches of warring positions and sit around the same table discussing options to make our community better. There may be some out there who feel no Compact is a good idea, (which is now a possibility because of this lawsuit) but I never thought the Tahoe Area Sierra Club would be one of them.

|Frequently Asked Questions
What is Stellar Communities?
The Stellar Communities program is a multi-agency partnership designed to fund comprehensive community development projects in Indiana's smaller communities. The Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority, Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs, and Indiana Department of Transportation, along with the State Revolving Fund, are participating in this innovative program.
What is the intent of Delphi's Stellar Communities project?
With the Hoosier Heartland Highway slated to open between Delphi and Lafayette later in 2012, truck traffic will finally route around the community instead of through the downtown. By eliminating this traffic, the community can "take back our downtown" – and realize its long term vision of having a walkable, vibrant downtown with new shops and restaurants, outdoor dining, upper story residences and restored buildings.
With Stellar Communities funding, these long term plans can be implemented now through a three year structured program – instead of doing the work little by little over 10 or 20 years.
How will Stellar Communities benefit Delphi?
The direct result of the Stellar Communities program will be significant state and federal grant dollars being invested into the downtown business district. The funding would be used to improve downtown streets, make the downtown friendlier for guests and pedestrians, incorporate new lighting and streetscape amenities, improve facades on downtown buildings, improve inadequate downtown water and sewer utilities, restore the Delphi Opera House as a community center and performing arts venue, and to provide parking solutions.
There are indirect benefits as well. In the first year of the Stellar Communities Pilot Program in North Vernon and Greencastle, the cities have already seen new businesses open, existing businesses reinvest in their operations and numerous properties bought and sold as investments are being planned.
How much funding will the City receive?
The final amount is being determined. The City's application proposed almost $20 million in projects.
How much match will the City provide?
The City proposed a match of $3.3 million in their application. $2.3 million would be from the City, and $1.0 million would be from Delphi Preservation Society for the Delphi Opera House project.
What will Stellar Communities money be used for?
Ten projects were proposed in the City's application. The City is now working with state agencies to confirm the eligibility of these projects. The projects include:
The projects were identified by the general public and community leaders during previous planning projects. This included the 2012 Safe Routes to Schools Master Plan, 2011 Hoosier Heartland Highway Development Plan, 2007/2010 Delphi Visioning Initiatives, 2008 Carroll County Comprehensive Plan and a 2002 downtown development study.
Did the City get a $20 million check?
No. Each specific project will be funded from an existing state/federal grant program.
When will construction begin?
Most likely in the spring of 2013. Work will extend into 2014 and 2015.
How can I find out more about Stellar Communities?
After we have confirmed the projects to be included in the program, there will be public meetings to present the projects. A public webpage will also be created to keep the public up to speed with the work.

- Layout : This defines the structure of the website
- Fonts : Anything typography set - goes in here
- Classes : This is where all classes go (only if they are un-associated with other sections ['layout, fonts'])
- Images : All image settings go in here
This allows you to jump right into the file needed to change the element you're working on. If it's an <H1> tag, then you know to jump into the fonts.css file. This may seem obvious, but I have had to clean up multiple sites because all of the styling is in one document and not commented out.
Like all programming languages, if it isn't obvious what the style is doing - then explain it in a comment:
So now we have 5 different (at minimum) style sheets to include in our HTML document, which would look like this:
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="../layout.css" media="screen" /> <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="../fonts.css" media="screen" /> <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="../classes.css" media="screen" /> <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="../images.css" media="screen" /> <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="../print.css" media="print" />
As you can see - that stacks up quite a bit, and can be kind of in the way. So let's make it so that there is only two links:
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="../all.css" media="screen" /> <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="../print.css" media="print" />
Now you have only 2 linked style sheets, but what happened to all of our styles then - well we create an 'all.css' file that links to all of the other ones. This allows you to continue your cascading without having to place includes at the very bottom of css files (which can be hundreds of lines long).
SO tell me how to include already! Put this in your all.css file
@import 'layout.css'; @import 'fonts.css'; @import 'images.css'; @import 'classes.css';
This is a great setup, especially if you have many people working on the site. Hope this helps.

Ugly nature and the supernatural were displayed at Chris Habana's SS11 presentation and I was obviously smitten. My favorite pieces, like the gold nails necklace and thorns bracelets, were the ones that looked less like jewelry and more like randomly found bits of ugly nature themselves. Some fancy cubic shape happenings helped to modernize the rest of the collection but I don't think it was necessary, as those really felt like shiny new jewelry and mildly disrupted the old and dusty vibe that the other pieces had. The combinations of pearls, chains, and crosses brought to mind a much darker Sleeping Beauty, like these pieces had been locked in an attic and got all possessed by spirits and the like.

There are a few LaTeX packages to create chemistry formulae: chemfig, ochem, streetex, and xymtex. The most intuitive is probably the
chemfig package. This article explains how to use the chemfig package to create chemical formulas in LaTeX.
Drawing a molecule consists mainly of connecting groups of atoms with lines. Simple linear formulas can be easily drawn with chemfig, let's see:
\documentclass{article} \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \usepackage[english]{babel} \usepackage{chemfig} \section{Introduction} Writting chemical formulae with chemfig is straightforward. \chemfig{O=H} \end{document}
The package is imported by
\usepackage{chemfig} in the preamble. The command
\chemfig{O=H} the draws the molecule. The symbol
= determines the type of bond. See the reference guide for a list of bond types.
Open an example of the chemfig package in ShareLaTeX
There are several ways to define angles to draw the bonds between molecules.
To define chemical formulae you can use units that define the angles \chemfig{A-[1]B-[7]C} Absolute angles \chemfig{A-[:50]B-[:-25]C} Relative angles \chemfig{A-[::50]B-[::-25]C}
Each one of the three commands in the example above uses a different method to determine the angle between bonds.
\chemfig{A-[1]B-[7]C} the parameters inside brackets set the angle in special units, each unit equals 45°. Hence in the example the angles are 45° and 315°.
\chemfig{A-[:50]B-[:-25]C} the parameter inside the brackets represent the angle, in degrees, measured from the horizontal baseline. Negative angles are allowed.
\chemfig{A-[::50]B-[::-25]C} the angles are measured from the previous bond, instead of the baseline.
Open an example of the chemfig package in ShareLaTeX
The example below presents the syntax to draw regular polygons
The syntax of the command
\chemfig{A*5(-B=C-D-E=)} is explained below:
There is an additional parameter that can be passed to this command, a double asterisk. For instance, if "**5" is set instead of "*5" a circle is drawn inside the polygon.
Open an example of the chemfig package in ShareLaTeX
Chemical formulas are not always linear, branched formulas are actually the most common type. Below an example on how to create them.
Branches in each node are created by adding formulas inside parentheses. For instance, the code
creates two branches in "C", one with a 2 units angle (90°) and other with a 6 units angle (270°).
Branches can also be added to rings
The syntax is similar, using parentheses a branch can be attached to a node (atom). For instance
attaches a branch to the node "F". More complex examples can be created using nested branches and even attaching rings as branches.
Open an example of the chemfig package in ShareLaTeX
Several parameters such as colours and the node separation can be changed, also additional text to describe the formula can be added.
{\huge \setbondstyle{red,line width=2pt,dash pattern=on 2pt off 2pt} \setatomsep{2em} \chemname {\chemfig{H-C(-[2]H)(-[6]H)-C(=[1]O)-[7]H}} {Ethanal} }
There are three new command here:
\setbondstyle{ }
Notice also that the font used is
huge. You can use any other font size and the formula will be scaled accordingly.
Open an example of the chemfig package in ShareLaTeX
Bond types
|Bond type
\chemfig{O - H}
\chemfig{O = H}
\chemfig{O ~ H}

text: HAMILTON -- For a child with a sensory processing disorder, going to the movie theaters can be overwhelming and disorienting. In hopes of making movie-going more enjoyable, the Hamilton Theater is hosting a four-part sensory-friendly movie series to accommodate a largely under-served population of children with autism and other disorders affecting sensory processing. For a person with autism or a sensory processing disorder, the surroundings are chaotic. Normal noises and lights are overwhelming and seem drastically louder and brighter. The built-in "filter" that allows for the environment to be processed by a person's perception is gone, leaving the individual feeling exposed, unsafe, irritated and unable to concentrate. Going to the movies may be a challenging sensory experiences that can be disorienting and alarming when the lights are turned off and volume turned up. This often means that families with a child with autism or a sensory processing disorder avoid going to the movies. On Saturday, the conventional boundaries of movie-watching will be erased as the volume is lowered, the lights are only dimmed and children won't have to sit in their seats or be quiet. The theater will replicate a living room and be less like a traditional theater, allowing viewers to multi-task and do whatever is necessary to make themselves comfortable. Organizer Janet O'Flynn, an occupational therapist with Madison-Oneida BOCES, said children will be welcomed to roam around the theater and "talk their way through the movie." An often-successful technique in acquainting children with autism or sensory processing disorders to a new environment or situation is repetition, allowing them to feel safe by the predictability of what will happen next. O'Flynn hopes that by affording families this opportunity, children will become comfortable with watching movies and will perhaps be able to watch movies in the typical theater setting. "This is like training wheels on a bike," she said. O'Flynn read an article posted on the American Occupational Therapy website that was originally published in The Columbian about a movie theater in Vancouver that is hosting "My Way Matinees" that provide a more conducive setting for children with sensory processing difficulties to watch movies. From the information she gathered from the article, she was confident that the Hamilton area could provide a similar experience. Hamilton Theater Manager Chuck Fox readily agreed, lending a venue for the program. "This is different in the sense that there's a specific target audience," Fox said. "It's a little bit of a departure for us but its a way to serve another segment of the community that is under-served." While families may be reluctant to take their children to the movies because of the distraction they may cause, it will just be part of the experience at the Hamilton Theater, he said. Adjusting the volume and lights will take some experimenting and some feedback from viewers, but Fox said they're more than willing to accommodate those changes. Some movie theaters offer noise-deadening headphones to bring the volume down even more for those that need it. Fox said the theater is prepared to supply those, too, if there's an interest and a need for them. Being responsive to the community has been an important mission of the theater, which also offers free movie programs for children, indie films, silent movies, midnight movies and movies outdoors. "It's a good thing for us to do and we're able to do it," he said. The sensory-friendly movie series is an extension of an attitude that the Hamilton area has readily embraced: a movement of acceptance and welcoming.initiated by O'Flynn's church, St. Thomas Episcopal, which has challenged itself to better address the needs of the community. While studies show autism affects one in 110 children, the disorder's expansive impact was obvious. As families with children with autism and other sensory processing disorders don't go many places, going to church -- where everyone is expected to sit quietly -- may seem out of the question, O'Flynn said. Educating the congregation on autism, O'Flynn stressed the importance of "not making the 'be quiet' face but the 'we're happy you're here' face" as families with children affected by the disorder are encouraged to attend services with the understanding that they will wander around and make noise. "We wanted to make it clear that you don't have to stay in your house with a child with autism," she said. The movement that began at the church spread to the town, as O'Flynn was asked to give similar educational classes on autism. Providing education to an entire community has fostered an expansive attitude of welcoming and acceptance to those who may be different, O'Flynn. While people may already be accommodating to people with physical and mental disabilities, O'Flynn says autism still seems "odd and different" and "hard for people to know how to respond to." More is discovered about the disorder that has no known cause every day and while there's no pill or operation to fix it, the only treatment that stands to be affective is education and community change, O'Flynn said. People affected by autism aren't broken, they're just different, she emphasized. The first movie - Disney's "Cars 2" will be played on Saturday and is sponsored by St. Thomas Episcopal Church. "Despicable Me" will be played on July 16, "How to Train Your Dragon" will play on August 6 and "Megamind" will pay on August 27. All films will begin at 12:30 p.m. and admission is free. The last three films still need to be sponsored. For more information or to sponsor a film contact the Hamilton Theater at (315) 824-8210 or Janet O'Flynn at (315) 708-5820.

This attitude is no surprise. The one exception to the law that it's easier to destroy than create is big government programs and bureaucracies. Once they're the status quo and people become accustomed to their existence, folks just cannot imagine how they could live without them. But is it really true that we'd get a visit from the Smog Monster if the EPA went extinct? And does it really advance the good on balance? Let's examine the matter.
Just recently, the EPA decreed that New York City must place a concrete cover over a 90-acre reservoir in nearby Yonkers — to the tune of $1.6 billion. Now, the city, nanny state though it is, strongly objected to the mandate. The Big Apple just didn't have the money, and, besides, its own department of environmental protection (NYCDEP) stated that such a move would offer the public a negligible benefit at best.
While NYC can now happily report that the federal order is "under review," such silly, intrusive mandates are par for the course for the EPA. For example, in April, EPA regulations forced Shell Oil to abandon a five-year, four-billion-dollar investment and its plan to drill for oil in the Arctic Ocean off the Alaskan coast. Of course, this isn't as bad for Shell as it is for the rest of us. The oil company can always devote itself to developing overseas energy resources, but American jobs are now lost and we'll be sending more greenbacks to terrorist-spawning countries.
Then there are cases in which EPA actions actually cause contamination. Providing a classic example, economics professor Thomas DiLorenzo wrote:
Congress ruled that all sewage treatment plants must remove at least 30% of the organic waste from incoming sewage. For Anchorage, Alaska, this is nearly impossible to achieve because the city has little organic matter to remove. Anchorage's sewage inflow often is cleaner than what the city's plant is allowed to emit.
The EPA was not flexible, telling Anchorage that it must meet the 30% standard. The city could have spent $135,000,000 on a new sewage treatment plant to meet the standard, but discovered a much cheaper option. It invited two local fish-processing plants to dump 5,000 pounds of fish viscera into the sewer system. The fish waste was easy to remove and Anchorage thus met the 30% rule.
And given that we have a federal government that buys 16-dollar muffins, it's not surprising that the above wasn't Leviathan's only attempt to spread the waste around. Just consider, for instance, the 1990s case in which the EPA forced Indians in Alaska to spend $29,500 on each of five outhouses. The jack-booted greenies at the agency must have been really proud of their handiwork, too, as they, wrote DiLorenzo, "promised to forget about $750,000 in fines that had accumulated if the builders did not mention publicly the agency's involvement in the incident [emphasis added]." I guess bad press and outhouses could give the public the idea that the EPA should be flushed down the toilet.
And it should. You see, we can talk about EPA excesses and get outraged. We can argue about how many regulations are necessary. We can point out that having a federal environmental agency is as unconstitutional as a federal religious-compliance agency. But what's certainly unnecessary is to lose sleep worrying that we'll have to add toxic-waste suits to our wardrobe if the EPA is no more. This is for a very simple reason: States — and often localities — already have their own environmental agencies. The NYCDEP is just one example.
So why do we have different levels of government all doing the same thing? Why the expensive duplication in a time of budget crunches?
Moreover, shouldn't regulations pertaining to a given region be established by those close to that region? After all, who cares more about the water and air in New York than New Yorkers? Who cares more about the environment in Arizona than Arizonans? The decisions in question here shouldn't be farmed out to nameless, faceless bureaucrats in Washington. When they are, we see decisions such as the one that forced Columbus, Ohio, to spend money testing for a pesticide only used 4,500 miles away — on pineapples in Hawaii.
Politicians often wring their hands and wonder how we can balance our federal budget with spending cuts alone. Well, a good start would be to dispose of an economically toxic type of waste, one that has an $8.4 billion annual budget. It's called the EPA.

TIMES SQUARE — To the Times Square Alliance, No. 13 is the luckiest number.
"Some people, they get nervous about number 13," said Tim Tompkins, President of the Times Square Alliance, who stood beside the pair of 7-foot numerals that will light up the crossroads of the world on New Year's Eve.
"They feel that it has a bad rap, or maybe it's not a lucky year coming up. We think 2013 will be an amazing year."
Tompkins unveiled the numbers at the Times Square Museum & Visitor Center as part of the countdown to 2013, which started Wednesday, 13 days before the famous ball was due to drop.
But just a precaution to ward off any bad luck, the alliance rolled out a set of figurines of multi-cultural good luck charms including a lucky rabbit's foot, 13 dreamcatchers, and a horseshoe, among other items.
The numbers will remain on display at the center by 47th St. and 7th Ave. until Dec. 26, when they will be installed atop One Times Square to complete the "2-0-1-3" sign that lights up at midnight of the New Year's Eve Ball Drop.

In November, Optus and Innov8—SingTel's corporate venture capital fund—announced that it would invest in two Melbourne-based startups, 121cast and Venuemob. The seed program launched in June last year, provides up to $250,000 for each startup selected for investment.
Besides cash, the seed program provides startups with mentoring, networking and dedicated co-working spaces. Startups can reach Optus' Australian customer base and also potentially expand into Asia.
The companies began accepting applications for "Season 2" of the seed program today. The application window closes at 9pm on 4 February. About 10 to 12 shortlisted applicants will be announced 20 February. Those applicants will pitch their business plans at an event on 26 February, and final investment negotiations will take place in March and April.
Optus wrote on the Innov8 blog that the program's second iteration would run similarly to the first, but with "slight changes" to the application process.
The seed program will now accept applications through online global startup community F6S instead of receiving them directly. "We think this way we'll be able to review applications faster and identify those outstanding Australian startups that best suit our Program," Optus said.
Optus also no longer requires startups to acquire a reference from a SingTel/Optus partner, it said. Instead, it wants two references who are "familiar with the startup's business and also have relevant experience to be able to provide a reference."
The co-founder of Sydney-based startup Pocketbook said recently that the growing number of seed funds like Innov8 are cause for optimism among Australian startups.

There are several other therapies that may help improve quality of life.
Physical Therapy
Physical therapy can help you manage the physical symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD). Physical therapists can teach you exercises to do on your own, or you can attend regular physical therapy sessions.
Physical therapy can help you:
- Increase your strength
- Decrease rigidity
- Develop flexibility
- Improve your stamina
- Optimize coordination
- Learn about fall prevention
- Delay progression of disease
Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy can help with fine motor skills and writing. The skills learned in occupational therapy can help with skills needed to maintain daily life. It involves relearning or modifying tasks. In addition, modifications to the living environment can assist in enhancing mobility, independence and safety.
Cognitive Training
Cognitive training works on aspects of the brain that control certain functions so they can be performed better in daily life. Activities are meant to promote and increase brain fitness through learning or exercises. It works best in conjunction with other healthy lifestyle habits. Some people with Parkinson's disease have seen improvements in reasoning, problem solving, processing speed, and working memory.
Other Therapies
Alternative therapies, such as Tai Chi, yoga, and dance therapy have been shown to improve postural stability and balance, which can help prevent falls.
Movement strategy training has been demonstrated in small studies to improve quality of life, walking, balance and overall function, but requires persistent and continuous application in order to maintain benefit.
Speech therapy has been suggested as a method to assist in improving hypophonia, and studies have demonstrated improvement over several years, provided treatment remains ongoing.

Broncos WR Eric Decker named AFC Offensive Player of the Week
After his four-touchdown, 174-yard afternoon in Kansas City Sunday, Eric Decker has been named the AFC Offensive Player of the Week for Week 13. Decker's four touchdowns in the Broncos' 35-28 win were a franchise record, and three of his scores came in the second half of the game as the Broncos overcame an early 14-point deficit.
Decker's four receiving touchdowns tied Cincinnati's Marvin Jones for the most by a player in the NFL this season, and they're the highest total in a road game in more than six years. The last player to score four touchdowns in a road game was Randy Moss with the Patriots in 2007.
Decker is the third Bronco to garner Offensive Player of the Week honors this season. Peyton Manning earned the recognition in Weeks 1 and 3, Demaryius Thomas in Week 10.

Sophomore Aisha Price scored 11 goals last week in California (photo courtesy Gil Talbot).
The Particulars
Harvard (10-9, 1-0 CWPA) returns home Sunday from its week-long spring break trip to California to host Wagner in a non-conference game at 2 p.m. in Blodgett Pool.
Last Time Out
Harvard scored in all four periods March 19 against No. 2 Cal but fell, 12-4. Sophomore Elise Molnar scored twice for the Crimson, once in the second and again in the third, freshman Shayna Price added a goal in the fourth frame and junior Shannon Purcell got the scoring started for the Crimson in the first quarter with Harvard's initial goal of the game, making it 2-1.
About Harvard
The Crimson's strength of schedule reared its head last week in California, as Harvard lost four straight and five of six. Those four consecutive losses, however, were all to teams either ranked or receiving votes in the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Top-20 poll, and three of those five losses were by four goals or less. Junior co-captain Devan Kennifer leads all scorers for Harvard with 45 goals. Classmate Monica Zdrojewski has 37 scores and sophomore Aisha Price has found the back of the net 35 times. Junior Shannon Purcell has been running the offense with a team-leading 30 assists and Kennifer has been a force on defense with 51 steals this season.
About Wagner
The Seahawks (11-7) picked up three wins on their recent trip to California, most recently defeating Cal State Bakersfield, 14-10. Through 18 games, Chelsea Beck was Wagner's leading points scorer with 32 goals and 32 assists on the season. Goalie Laura Karbach had made 121 saves and grabbed 23 steals in goal.
Harvard holds a 5-4 edge in the all-time series against Wagner that began in 2004. The Crimson won both meetings between the two teams last season and has won three of the last four.
Price Control
Aisha Price posted 11 goals, four assists and 11 takeaways in just five games last week in California, including taking control of the game against Cal State Monterey Bay March 13. She found the back of the net six times, dishing an assist and grabbing five steals in the 12-11 Crimson loss. Price has 35 scores and 35 takeaways to go with 15 helpers this season.
Fab Five
This spring's freshman class has made quite a splash for Harvard this year, making significant contributions on both ends of the pool in the players' first collegiate season. Jelena Cyr, Christy DiSilvestro, Riley Kessler, Shayna Price and Jamie Williams have totalled 65 goals, 34 assists and 58 steals as a quintet, amounting to 29 percent of the Crimson's scoring this season and 25 percent of the team's takeaways and helpers.
Playing 'Em Close
Harvard is 2-4 this season in games decided by three goals or less, including two close losses to top 15-ranked teams. In contrast, the Crimson is 7-1 in games decided by 10 goals or more.
Playing Both Sides of the Pool
Devan Kennifer has been putting in effort on offense and defense this season, leading the team in both goals and steals. Her 45 tallies outdistance the nearest teammate by eight and gives her a goals per game average of 2.37, and her 51 takeaways are 16 better than sophomore Aisha Price's 35 so far this season.
Receiving Votes
On three different occasions this season, the Crimson has received votes in the CWPA Top-20 poll, most recently in last week's March 16 poll as the team was in the midst of its seven-game West Coast swing.
Up Next
Harvard will host a doubleheader April 2 as it welcomes Connecticut College and Marist for games at noon and 2 p.m., respectively.

UT4_LOCO by Spazzattack
After some discussion and speaking with several mappers it was decided that the map ut4_loco by SpazzAttack would be a great place to start the "map of the month". We were also going to use tohunga_b10 but after speaking with SevenofNine it was thought that 2 maps would be too much to fully explore in one hour, so we hope to use tohunga_b10 next month.
Spazzattack is one of my favourite mappers, his work is quirky and doesn't follow the traditional rules for mapping Urban Terror but his maps are very popular on public servers and are full of little suprises. Personally I love his skylift map which runs 2 or 3 times a day on the busy Urban Terror for Terrorists server.
This map, ut4_loco is a little different from his previous releases and may be more suited to competitive play.
SpazzAttack is currently making a "fixed" version of this map and we hope to have it ASAP, I'll load it onto the CMM server when we have this. SpazzAttack is also going to be joining us on the server on the 28th so, drop by and say hi.
I'll post more about this closer to the event.
