In a video taken by Linda Beltran and posted on YouTube just a month ago, Mateo proves his future debate abilities as he questions his mom's reasonings for not allowing him to have a cupcake.
Linda and Kenneth Beltran don't usually let their children call them by their first names. In fact, most of the time they are referred to as Mom and Dad. But ever since 3-year-old Mateo was taught his parents' names for safety reasons, he's learned when he should use the personal touch. In a video taken by Linda Beltran and posted on YouTube just a month ago, Mateo proves his future debate abilities as he questions his mom's reasonings for not allowing him to have a cupcake. "OK, Linda. Linda, listen, listen, listen," Mateo says in the video. Since it was posted, the video has gone viral and attained more than 2 million views as viewers can't get enough of the 3-year-old holding his own with his mom. Mateo first learned his parents' names after they realized the danger Mateo could be in if he didn't know how to find them. "We came across a lost boy who could not for the life of him tell us his name or parents' names," Linda Beltran told UberSpotlight, The Blaze reported. "We felt horrible, and as we handed him over to park staff we realized we'd never really told our boys what our names were - they only knew us as Mommy and Daddy. We didn't want them to ever be in the same situation and not know our names, so we taught them, and they quickly learned. This made Mateo feel a little empowered." And that entitlement shines through in the video. Beltran explains in the video that she had told Mateo he could not have a cupcake, to which he then went and asked grandma for instead. When his mom begins to talk about spanking him and his little brother, Mateo won't have it. "Linda, honey, honey, look at this, right now we can't do anything if we can't get anything out of the wall," Mateo says. While some viewers have been taken back by the debate and view it as disrespectful, Beltran explained that she enjoys conversing with her children and even letting them win the debate some times. "In an effort to raise independent young adults, we let our children have a voice. I'm a new parent and I'm learning as much from my kids as they are learning from me," Beltran said. "I love seeing a little more of their personalities as they grow. Mateo has his own spunk and is becoming his own little person. I love that about him. The boys know when mom is serious and when they can engage in some healthy debate. In an effort to raise my kids with a voice, I pick my battles and sometimes let them feel like they've won ... or at least give them the chance to try." Although comments have been blocked from the video, many have expressed their adoration of Mateo on social media.%3Cimg%20src%3D%22http%3A//beacon.deseretconnect.com/beacon.gif%3Fcid%3D153159%26pid%3D46%22%20/%3E

So me and fake tan are so-so – I'd probably be more open to using them if they didn't stink, were 100% unorange and 100% unstreaky but alas, they're not quite *there* yet.
However – St. Tropez's range of illuminators don't require a tan and come in three shades; Violet, Rose and Gold. Rather nice:
I have two here, Violet and Rose which come in generous 50ml tubes and can be used on the face and body.
The thing with illuminators is that they're a bit of extra faff although when applied correctly, do look rather nice. These are also called 'skin finishers' as they add a glowy sheen to the skin…I was worried for a second that they'd be blingin' but they aren't – they're actually subtle and refined, if you like. They give a nice glow to the skin without being too obvious or ashy on the skin.
Pink on top, violet on the bottom:
Now, if it was up to me I'd choose gold but a change does us all good and I really like the result of the pink – which gives a soft baby like sheen – and the violet, which is a iridescent unusual blue-violet hue which is quite eye catching.
On the skin, it does take a bit of work as it feels a little greasy at first. It will sink in though…
Can you see the subtle hue that has been left on the skin? Maybe I'm just odd but I think on my warm olive skin tone it'll make me look a bit like a beetle…you know that purply shell they have? It's quite nice on the face, around the cheekbone area.
Verdict: A nice product from St. Tropez and at £12 for 50ml, well priced as this will last a long time. Pick the best shade for you! See the

A CWMBRAN man is preparing to swim across the English Channel with two others in July to raise thousands for Cancer Research Wales.
The team features former Welsh Junior International, Andrew Parker, 33, from Cwmbran.
He is joined by former Cardiff masters Swimmer, Martin Duffy, 36, from Ebbw Vale, and member of Taff Ely Triathlon Club, Hugh Hughes, 43, a postman from Treharris.
The relay team will have to swim the 22 miles from Dover to Calais without wetsuits as the channel swimming and piloting federation rules only allows them to wear swim shorts, hat and goggles.
Mr Parker said: "Our preparations have gone well. We have all passed our two hour assessment, which has to be completed in sub 16c. This test needed to be passed in order to be allowed to attempt the channel swim.
"We have been swimming in Porthcawl sea since January and also in a lake in Bristol."
The trio wore wetsuits during their training in January to April, but from May they have been swimming without them to get used to the temperature.
He said: "We have to be fit enough to cope with swimming the 22 miles between us, but mentally strong to cope with the cold water.
"The sea can also be rough so a lot of upper body strength is required."
Mr Parker completed a channel relay swim in July 2012 as a team of four, completing it in 13 hours and 33 minutes.
He said: "It was my idea to do the challenge and the aim is to beat that time, even though it will be more difficult with more swims and less recovery time between them."
The group met through Mr Parkers' business, B Active sports injury clinic, in Cwmbran.
They group chose to raise funds for Cancer Research Wales as Mr Hughes' father lost his battle with cancer in 2006.
The swim will be done between July 1 and 10.
The team hope to raise £2,000 for Cancer Research Wales. To sponsor them visit www.justgiving.com/channelswim2014

Today's quote is from a talk given LAST April (2014) by Dieter F. Uchtdorf entitled "Grateful in Any Circumstances." He says, "How grateful I am to my Heavenly Father that in His plan there are no true endings, only everlasting beginnings."
Aren't you grateful for that knowledge, too? How else could we survive the trials and hardships of this life without this fact? I love knowing that NO MATTER WHAT happens in mortality, if we are keeping the commandments of God, I will with my family FOREVER. Everlasting beginnings...

Hello everyone!
A little background is in order. I came out of my Dark Age about 6 years ago with the interest my oldest had with LEGO. We went Christmas shopping and spotted the 7142 X-Wing. I love Star Wars and he desperately wanted a LEGO set. How could I say no? So Santa's helper spent Christmas Eve building the set and Santa's helper's wife knew her life was about to change as the exclamations of "Cool!", "Sweet!", "Honey, look at how they did this!", and "I've got to get me one of these!" filled that festive (and sleepless) night. Soon after that, I "recovered" my LEGO box from its anonymity at my parents house and the fun began (again).
As you can tell, I'm mainly a SW LEGO fan but I have dabbled in Castle from time to time. That was until I saw a few of RebelRock's creations and then stumbled onto this site. Shangri'la! Now, much to my wifes chagrin, I've jumped into the castle line full tilt.
I really like a lot of the sets that have come out over the last two years and have purchased quite a few of the vikings and fantasy sets to play with on the side so I guess I'm not a complete nooblet.
I am somewhat of an army builder (600+ Imperials can attest) so I have raided my brother's old LEGO sets (kept in meticulous storage at my parents house as well) and have assembled quite a vast array of Forestmen, Crusaders, Dragon Knights and others to man my battlements along side my growing numbers of Dwarves and Knights.
I look forward to scouring these forums for all sorts of tips and tricks and hopefully adding one or two. I also look forward to sharing my budding castle themed MOC's and eliciting your most helpful criticism.
PS. Dont tell my bro's about those figs. It'll be our little secret.

It seems counterintuitive to say the most successful portions of the Orlando Philharmonic's tribute to great movies came when I forgot the orchestra was there.
But in this case, that's a compliment.
In the season-opening pops performance, the Philharmonic presented "Night at the Oscars," a multimedia program devised by John Goberman in which scenes from famous movies are accompanied by a live orchestra playing the score.
It's a fun idea that for the most part came off successfully Saturday night. But when things go awry, it's a headache-inducing clash of the senses.

text: New Soybean Performance System Planned March 1, 2013 07:32 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Rhonda Brooks Editor, Farm Journal MagazineEditorial Director, Farm Journal Media Email 56 soybean varieties, with a maturity range of 0 to 4, are planned for the initial launch of the system. It features tolerance to glyphosate and isoxaflutole, a new active ingredient for weed control in soybeans. Rowen Ziegler says he hasn't found weed resistance on his Illinois farm yet, but he knows its close by. "It's not more than a few miles south of me, and that's too close for comfort," says Ziegler, a corn and soybean grower from LaHarpe and the production committee chairman for the Illinois Soybean Association. For now, Ziegler uses multiple herbicide modes of action and rotates between the RoundupReady and LibertyLink soybean systems to keep herbicide-resistant waterhemp and other tough-to-control weeds out of his fields. In 2015, Ziegler and other soybean farmers may have a new option to consider: the Balance GT soybean performance system (also referred to as Event FG72). Balance GT features tolerance to glyphosate and isoxaflutole. The latter is an HPPD inhibitor herbicide, often termed a bleacher product, currently used only in the corn market and sold under the trade name Balance Flexx. For soybeans, the product will be called Balance Bean. The new soybean system is expected to be available in the United States and Canada upon registration, according to Lauren August, MS Technologies brand manager. August says 56 soybean varieties, with a maturity range of 0 to 4, are planned for the initial launch of the system. "We expect to have an additional 225 new varieties coming shortly thereafter," she says. Stine Seed Company is the initial licensee for the system. Other companies are also expected to license the technology, she adds. August detailed the new Balance GT system benefits in a video with Farm Journal during the 2013 Commodity Classic in Orlando. More information is also available at BalanceGTsoybeans.com. For More Information Read more coverage from the 2013 Commodity Classic and associated events. Back to news

Whatever happened to 'specialization?'
The six areas tested by the MBE are required courses of practically every law school. No sweat.
The state IEE (essay) requires knowledge of
other areas which are not required courses. Learning the material for fifteen subjects
the MPRE and MPT will almost certainly require the entire 3 years of law school. It seems as if the exams designate the 'electives' which you
choose if you want to pass and become licensed. I guess specialization is for post-grads.
I can't imagine studying for more than one state bar exam at the same time!

I can understand how fear of the bar exam could dictate which classes one takes in law school. I've heard advice on both ends of the spectrum there. I divided my time between bar-helpful classes and "interesting" classes, and I'm pretty happy with that choice.
I think you could probably pass the bar without taking any bar helpful electives (a big part of the MA and NY bar exams are first year required classes), but of course it never hurts to start preparing early. Some classes are more valuable than others when it comes to bar preparation of course. I took UCC and only later learned that it has a very low probability of being on the NY bar, and is never on the MA bar. Meanwhile, I didn't get around to taking Criminal Procedure, which is a very important topic for any bar.
If I were a 1L planning my law school electives, I would look up the subjects and probabilities for the exam(s) before choosing. I think there's enough time to take the most imporant bar-related classes and still specialize.

Well, that is some good news, but I am really cautious. I know some practicing attorneys who obviously passed the bar, and I know some other people who have taken the bar multiple times without success. I am guessing that the courses really matter.
I can possibly 'get by' without some of the credit courses because also I do independent study and am involved with some of the same suggested areas which are required for the state bar, such as taxation. And since my undergrad majors are CJ and Paralegal, I am sure to already know much of the material. I've already studied Crim.Pro and Crim. Law, and will probably have Crim Law again in law school. When I looked at the MBE book earlier this year, that was my strongest subject. Another big plus is that many areas 'co-exist'--some of what you learn in one course is included in other courses, such as business law and contract law, or procedure and litigation and legal research.
And there are some subjects which I was considering as possible law school courses, anyway, such as Business Associations and Administrative Law, so I am not totally disappointed.
But the other side of that is there are some subjects on the state bar which I am not fond of; for instance, I would rather not have another course of Family Law.
But I think you are right: I already know what to expect on the MBE-- I need to find more specific information about the state bar essay test.

Just check the probabilities. I don't know off-hand of a resource for this, but BarBri gave me the stats for NY (anyone know some links?). There are some things that weren't even tested on the exams I took that I thought were important in law school because my school emphasized them. For example, Administrative Law is not on either the New York or Massachusetts exams, but my school had some famous admin profs and they made it sounds like a "must take" (a valuable class, but most classes are).
I guess what I'm saying is that I would recommending getting more info an a particular bar and prioritizing. In my case - UCC wasn't any help on the bar, but Trusts, Wills, & Estates and Corporations were good to have taken.

I think it is well worth my time to research this. The more I look, the more I find. As of now I have three online sources which agree that Admin. Law is one of the subjects on the state bar (IN). Only one of the three sources says that Contracts is another one of the subjects, but Contracts is also on the MBE, and is usually one of the required courses.
The sources also word the subjects differently, such as one says business organizations, the others say partnerships and corporations. One of them says agencies, and the other two do not mention it.
I must admire you. I have read that the NY bar is much more difficult.
I have already used a few hours looking at the curriculums of the IN area's law schools, but I will probably look at them again now in a different way.
I guess I should find some who have recently passed the IN bar and ask them.

You might want to read the threads over at JdJive.com
The bar exam is hard to pass not because of bad class choices in law school, but because of poor test taking skills and time management during the actual exam.

If you want to find out what essay subjects are covered on a state bar exam, you can go to the Barbri website (
) and select the state that interests you. For Indiana, the following topics are covered on the essays
Indiana Essay Subjects
Administrative Law, Agency, Commercial Law, Indiana Constitutional Law, Corporations, Family Law, Partnerships, Personal Property, Pleading and Practice, Taxation, Trusts & Estates, Wills
I would take several of these courses while in law school. It is probably not necessary to take all of them, but Barbri goes very fast. Barbri is really a "review." I never really bought into the "Barbri will teach you everything you need to know for the bar" line. Barbri gives you three sets of outlines for each course. There is a big outline that is very detailed. These outlines usually are 60 to 100 pages long. They also give you a Conviser outline that is condensed down to around 20 pages. They also give you the "fill in the blank" outlines for the lectures. Some people who haven't had the course in law school study from the big outline because it has examples and fact patterns in it. These examples help you to learn the material because you are probably encountering it for the first time. If you had the course in law school, you can generally study from the Conviser, or even the fill in the blank outline. These go much faster. The time you save allows you to spend more time on the MBE.

Hey! Does anyone know where I can find out if it's possible to take the Bar in both GA and NC? I've been looking online at the NC State Bar website, the GA State Bar website, the ABA website, various other websites... and I can't find any kind of straight answer. The reciprocity information just says that it "varies" I'm totally confused. Is there a nice, uncomplicated website that I can look at to figure this out?

taking two bar exams is not that bad, and it's not uncommon; i just did it (PA & NJ), along with most people i know. traveling to north jersey from philly on wednesday wasn't fun (thanks, NJ!), but then entire experience from may-july isn't exactly a vacation.
it helped that the NJ bar is not too difficult. the girl next to me in the NJ exam had just taken the Delaware exam (a three-day exam from Mon-Wed), so it could have been worse.
the PA bar subjects are:
MBE Subjects
Constitutional Law
Criminal Law/Procedure
Real Property
Pennsylvania Essay Subjects
Civil Procedure (State & Federal)
Conflict of Laws
PA Constitutional Law (Rights of the Criminally Accused)
Decedents' Estates
Family Law
Federal Personal Income Tax
PA Evidence
PA Rules of Professional Conduct
Employment Discrimination (Title VII, ADA and ADEA)
Limited Liability Companies and Professional Corporations
PA DUI Law
plus all MBE subjects
plus the PA Performance Test (which this year was a client letter on an ADEA claim).
so that's a lot of subjects, but not impossible. i took NJ b/c you can't waive in later and i didn't want to be taking it in 10+ years like some of the firm attorneys and partners i saw there.
it really depends on whether a second bar admission is going to be useful to you. i honestly do not believe that taking a second bar exam adds a whole lot to your preparation commitment. i wouldn't say to do it for kicks, but if it will help your career, don't be afraid to take it on.
the biggest thing is to study and work steadily from the beginning; don't blow off late may and june. the people who do that are either brilliant or are freaking out in mid-july, and you do NOT want to be freaking out. the bar tests minimal competence; if you put in honest work in preparing and stay calm during the exam, you should be fine. go to class, then spend solid, quality time studying. maintain and schedule some personal relaxation time as well, or you will burn out.
and consider the video lectures; they're not any different than the live lectures, and you don't have to worry about offending a lecturer during a particularly boring session.

Bridging the gap between sales and marketing
It's never been more important for sales and marketing to work together seamlessly to ensure leads are generated, nurtured and handed over with optimum effectiveness. However, in many companies the relationship between these two functions remains highly inefficient and problematic.
This webcast will explore how to bridge the gap between marketing and sales, with practical tips which will allow both teams to meet their objectives and deliver success to the organisation.
Content will include:
* Client case studies highlighting common reasons for divisions between sales and marketing, and discussing the 'grey areas' of responsibility between the departments.
* An examination of typical pains and issues in the relationship eg. disappointing conversions; sales people not out selling because they are too busy prospecting; leads received from marketing not matching the quality criteria specified by sales.
* A focus on solutions and how the telemarketing can bridge this gap but discussing this generically in terms of in-house team, outsource etc.
* Examination of factors that marketers should consider when using telemarketing, including key issues like set up, data, call recording.
* Top 10 lessons.

How does your CMO stack up? Leadership perspectives on marketing performance
Apr 24 2019
4:00 pm
60 mins
Adam Needles - CEO of ANNUITAS
How often have you seen marketing report outstanding results while business growth goals are not being met?
When it comes to measuring marketing's impact on sales and revenue, stellar performance against KPI's doesn't always tell the whole story.
ANNUITAS recently surveyed more than 200 business leaders across departments to classify marketing leaders by expertise and focus, and then asked business leaders across the organization to evaluate CMO performance.
In other words, what does the rest of C-suite think of the decisions of a CMO?
In this webinar, you will learn:
- Why marketing success doesn't always align with business growth
- The difference between a Brand focused and Revenue focused CMO
- Whether the C-Suite is happy with marketing's KPI's and how they would change them
- Why Revenue-focused CMO's are seen to be more successful than Brand-focused ones.
Presenter information:
Adam Needles is CEO of ANNUITAS. He is an expert in helping companies build buyer-driven perpetual demand generation programs and transform their lead-to-revenue processes to drive profitable revenue growth and build sustainable brands.
Jason Stewart leads the ANNUITAS Content Marketing practice, and has more than 16 years of experience in B2B marketing at both private and public companies. Prior to ANNUITAS, Jason was Director of Marketing for Demandbase, where he was named one of marketing automation's key influencers in Marketo's Definitive Guide to Marketing Automation and developed his expertise in Account-Based Marketing.

ABM for winning bids – your new secret weapon?
Jan 9 2019
55 mins
Joel Harrison - Editor-in-chief at B2B Marketing
Like it or not, bid tendering and RFPs are an increasingly important part of the B2B marketer's role – particularly for large contracts but increasingly for those of lower value.
The stakes for bid tendering are very high – get it right, and teams responsible will be heroes in the business. Get it wrong, and you've potentially wasted a lot of time, effort and cash.
So how can marketers use ABM techniques and tools to address this thorny marketing (and sales!) challenge? What's the relevance of ABM to this unique business area, and how can it drive new thinking and new opportunities?
In this interactive webcast, Nick Pearce and Claire Carsberg of JPC will call on real life examples to explain how you can apply ABM to improve your bid strategy and the keys to success.
You'll learn:
1. How to align procurement with your bid
2. How to challenge everyone involved in the bid process
3. How to be disruptive and make it part of your successful sales strategy
4. How to improve your chances of winning bids
5. How to avoid the common pitfalls, and turn failure into success

The value of content can be measured in lots of different ways, and many organisations will have their own goals and ambitions for what they want content to achieve.

I just spoke with Jim Sliwa, media relations manager with ICAAC organizer the American Society for Microbiology, and the conference will be moving from New Orleans to a new place and new dates (it was scheduled originally for Sept.).
Jim said, "We really wanted to stay in New Orleans—they'll need the business—and it's so much easier to handle the logistics if you don't have to change locations. But we got the Washington, D.C., Convention Center very quickly—when you hear the dates, you'll understand why: December 16 to 19. It's similar to what happened right after 9/11/01, when ICAAC was in Chicago the week after the attacks. Luckily, the Chicago Convention Center could find dates that worked for us, but again they were the week before Christmas."
"Now comes the fun—redoing the entire logistics for the convention center in three months," Sliwa added. Deposits for New Orleans hotels will be refunded, and registration will automatically transfer to the new dates and site. Those who couldn't attend the rescheduled ICAAC could get a full refund of registration fees and hotel deposits as long as they notified the organizers before September 23. ICAAC's airline partner, United Airlines, also agreed to waive the $100 change fee for ICAAC attendees.
I have a feeling they're going to be far from alone in having to move a meeting from NOLA and other affected areas. This is so horrible in so many ways.

The first crisis for a family with a child with autism is the diagnosis. The second is when the child becomes an adult and is no longer guaranteed by law access to the help he/she needs. That's when opportunities for the young adult just about all disappear.
Often, without the money or access to programs designed for adults suffering from autistic spectral disorders (ASD), individuals over 21 who were working on improving their communication skills that at times seemed to disconnect them from society are cut off from future opportunities. If they are fortunate enough to get into a state program or can afford to pay, they might go to a facility that deals with a range of disabilities. But even there, the specialized care needed can be hard to find.
What might become then of the hundreds of thousands of children who will soon be adults but who were diagnosed with an autism disorder in the past 10 years alone? Years ago they would have been institutionalized. While autism disorders have existed for centuries, they are relatively new to be diagnosed and treated by medical professionals.
Between 2000 and 2007 alone, there was a 124 percent increase in the number of six-year-olds diagnosed with ASDs in schools across the nation, according to a 2007 report by the U.S. Department of Education. ASD refers to the three types of autism: autistic disorder, known as classic autism; pervasive development disorder, or atypical autism; and Asperger's syndrome. On average, about 1 in 110 children suffers from ASD, according to the Center for Disease and Control. That means more than 500,000 kids this year alone.
"No one really knows why," said Rosemarie Manfredi, Psy.D, assistant professor of psychology and faculty and curriculum coordinator of ASD programs at Chestnut Hill College (CHC), about the seeming recent emergence of autism.
One reason is that physicians have become better at diagnosing autism, she said. Until 1980, autism was unlisted in the Diagnostic and Statistic Manual of Mental Disorders. In the past, individuals with ASD might have been wrongly diagnosed with schizophrenia or Down syndrome. Now, physicians know behaviors in babies like significant delays in speech development, a lack of gestures like pointing, problems with eye contact and more are indicative of ASD.
For Chestnut Hill resident Roy Diamond and his non-profit organization, Autism Living and Working (ALAW), developing opportunities for people with autism older than 21 and advocating for better understanding of autism disorders are their most important missions. ALAW members oversee five houses in the Greater Philadelphia area where autistic adults can live, some alone and others with the access to providers who care for them if needed.
As president of ALAW and the father of a 21-year-old autistic son, Jacob, himself a client of the group, Diamond has the chance to see firsthand how important the group's missions are to the families it serves. Though his son is unable to speak, at the farming program he participates in near Monument Road in West Philadelphia, Jacob can participate in physical activities like planting with other kids. Something so simple can be critical to developing a productive adult life for individuals with autism.
"It's a life-changing type of thing," said Diamond about his son's diagnosis. "You try to energize as a family, and you try to fix it. Then you get to a point where you realize no one has figured out how to fix it … and then you try to provide the best life you can for your child."
Because he was known for his work with his company, Diamond and Associates, a Philadelphia-based firm that focuses on the development of affordable housing, a member of ALAW reached out to him in the mid-'90s. They thought his experience with using tax credits to fund development projects could help their mission. It was a perfect fit for Diamond. Here were intelligent parents with autistic children in, approaching or beyond their 20s dealing with the same challenges that the Diamond family faces today.
Founded in 1995, ALAW was formed to address the needs of adults with autism, including the need to have households apart from their parents and to have adequate supports to live and work in the community and avoid institutionalization. Some of the roommates who live in the five homes where ALAW serves as property manager work at jobs and pay taxes.
"The life of the adults with ASD who live in homes that ALAW owns and/or manages is the same as any adult's life with varied job/work, volunteer, social, family and personal health responsibilities," said ALAW member Becky Lynne Willmot Gamble, "except that the adults with autism/ASD have staff helping them accomplish all their tasks and life duties. The staff is paid for by a Medicaid waiver," funded both by the state and federal government.
For the most part, the adults have simple labor jobs like janitorial work or dishwashing. But a few have home businesses like web design, computer data entry or making chocolate-covered pretzels. There are also a few undergraduate and master's level college students. (Due to recent cuts in state funding, though, many services offered are in jeopardy of being lost.)
Today, Diamond said, there is a robust community in terms of the families, scientists, physicians, therapists and educators devoted to serving the needs of those suffering from the ailments of ASD.
And as public awareness of the issue grows, institutions like Chestnut Hill College are taking steps to further understanding about ASD.
Launched last year, CHC Autism Initiative Network offers an education and training program for professionals who may come into contact with autistic individuals during their daily work.
The network's initiative coordinator is Rosemary Mullaly, a former lead special education counsel for the Penna. Department of Education as well as a Wyndmoor resident and mother of an 11-year-old son with ASD.
As more of our young people are diagnosed with life-changing disorders like ASD, groups like AWAL and institutions like CHC stand as a ladder of hope for those trying to climb out from under the burden of living with a disability in 21st-century America.

Premier League: Man City 0 Chelsea 1
Branislav Ivanovic struck the decisive goal as Chelsea ended Manchester City's 20-game unbeaten run with a 1-0 win on Monday.
Ivanovic scored with a crisp left-footed drive in the 32nd minute at the Etihad Stadium to move Jose Mourinho's side level with City in second place in the Premier League, just two points adrift of leaders Arsenal.
Prior to Monday's game, City had won 19 of their last 20 matches in all competitions and had scored in 61 successive top-flight fixtures at home, going back to a 0-0 stalemate with Birmingham City in November 2010.
However, it was Chelsea who looked most likely to score again, as they struck the woodwork three times going in search of a second, while City struggled to find a way through their well-organised defence.
The victory means Mourinho's team have now won seven of their last eight Premier League outings, and they now sit behind City on goal difference only.
The hosts, with Martin Demichelis in midfield instead of the injured Fernandinho, started much the brighter and created a handful of opportunities in the opening 20 minutes, with Yaya Toure at the heart of everything.
With 10 minutes played, City released Aleksandar Kolarov on the left hand side before the Serbian delivered a dangerous ball across the six-yard box, but a lunging Toure could not quite reach it at the back post.
The Ivorian turned creator eight minutes later after charging into the Chelsea penalty area, he held off the challenge of Nemanja Matic before rolling the ball into David Silva but the Spaniard's flicked effort went just wide of Petr Cech's goal.
David Luiz, starting in midfield for Chelsea, then wasted a free-kick in a good position, and his Brazilian compatriot Ramires did the same shortly after, but the visitors were soon ahead.
Just after the half-hour mark, another swift move from Chelsea saw Ramires' effort blocked, only for the loose ball to drop to Ivanovic.
The full-back duly lashed a left-footed shot through a crowded penalty area and beyond Hart for his second Premier League goal of the season.
City should have been further behind in the closing minutes of the first half, but Samuel Eto'o fired his shot against the post after excellent work from Eden Hazard.
More poor defending at the start of the second half nearly saw Chelsea double their lead through Willian, and the hosts were again let off the hook when Matic's superb long-range effort crashed against the post.
Hart's goal was leading a charmed life as the visitors hit the woodwork for a third time in the 67th minute. Willian's right-wing corner was met by the head of Gary Cahill, but his effort struck the post and was cleared by a relieved City defence.
Kolarov had City's best attempt of the second half from a 20-yard free kick, but the Serbian saw Cech claw the ball out of the top corner, while Silva spurned a chance to level in the 75th minute.
As the hosts pushed for an equaliser, they could have been reduced to 10 men as Matija Nastasic hauled down susbtitute Oscar on the halfway line, but the defender was only booked - much to the frustration of Mourinho on the touchline.
Stevan Jovetic, who came on for Alvaro Negredo in the second half, then forced Cech into another fine save in injury time as Chelsea held firm in the face of strong late pressure from the hosts.

Ive been going through this for the last few days, what its uses are or arnt ( cant find much its not usefull for though ) And trying to figure out why since the us government has a patent on so many experiments that kill cancer and is very usefull in treating conditions such as stroke, parkinsons, ms, and has neuroprotecters why the government doesnt have some of these experiments available by prescription. They have made some synthetic drugs available that cause side effects but with the actuall plant a person according to NIH studies can take accute overdoses of the CBD for extended durations with no noticable side effects.
http://www.infowars.com/u-s-government- ... -cannabis/
There are many links and each one has either differant experiments but the top link has a lot of them
Take care

With regulations for nearly every aspect of a car, including hood and trunk heights, it is becoming tougher and tougher to design a beautiful ride.
And it shows. Many of the cars that are on the roads today are high-waisted with huge rear ends. In many cases, they just look ungainly.
Thankfully, there is a styling renaissance right now at many luxury and affordable automakers. Some of these cars are simply gorgeous while others are evidence of form following function.
Like any survey of looks, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
There are other beautiful cars out there, but these are the cars on the road that certainly make us do a double take. Another requirement is that the cars must make us daydream for a considerable amount of time.
Our only requirement for these cars is that they be on sale somewhere today; we did not limit it to the USA. Everything else, like price and manufacturer, was open.
There are certainly other magnificent cars on the road that can be considered works of art. Let us know what makes your jaw drop in the comments.

Mike Hlas, Marc Morehouse and I are live blogging from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. today about Iowa sports. That's everything from football to hoops. Here's the link:
Here are a few thoughts about last night's Prime Time League action:
I've seen every player in the Prime Time League at least twice. So far, no player has impressed me quite like Jarryd Cole.
The Iowa junior has completely recovered from his knee injury as a freshman. He dominated UNI's Jordan Eglseder in their head-to-head matchup on Wednesday. Cole scored 32 points, including 20 in the first half. He's strong, intense and competitive. He's also regained all explosiveness lost because of his left ACL tear two years ago. He's also much quicker than most post players and tons better than he was last season.
Perhaps what impressed me the most after his last two games was how much Cole HATES to lose. He absolutely detests losing. Both games he sat by himself stewing after the game. He even tossed a remark to a couple of teammates about playing harder after the game.
Most PTL players compete like they would at the local YMCA. They play real hard on the court, then walk away like it's a family game in the driveway. Not Cole. He's everything Iowa needs right now from a leadership perspective.
Outside of Cole, I'd say I think Anthony Tucker has played well, and Eric May has impressed me with his strength and overall game.
In about a week, I'll give my complete assessment of Iowa basketball right now, including the newer and veteran players. As you can imagine, Iowa basketball is a work in progress right now.

Theatre alumnus E. Clayton Cornelious returned to Point Park to host a Q&A with Conservatory of Performing Arts students while he was in town starring in the national tour of Sister Act at the Benedum Center, Feb. 5-10. Some of his Broadway and national tour credits include: The Lion King, Scottsboro Boys, A Chorus Line (revival), Wonderland, Jersey Boys, The Music Man (revival), Dirty Dancing, Hairspray and Sister Act.
Job title: Actor, currently playing Sweaty Eddy Souther in national tour of Sister ActMajor and degree earned: B.A. in theatre, 1998Hometown: Rankin, Pa. Now living in: New York CityHigh School: Woodland Hills High School
I received an apprenticeship when I auditioned for the Conservatory of Performing Arts, so having that additional funding towards my education was great. I also had the opportunity to see a performance at the Pittsburgh Playhouse and that was amazing. For my apprenticeship, I was hired to work at the concession stand at the opening and closing of a show. I've done every little job you can imagine, which was great to help me prepare for my career.
The most beneficial experience was playing Charlie Dalrymple, a supporting role, in Brigadoon my sophomore year. I never thought I would land a non-traditional role like that in college. I was shocked. That experience was a huge wake-up call and sparked me to really be ambitious.
You have to want to do it. If you don't wake up thinking you want to work in theatre, then it's not for you. Students need to learn more about the business, not just the creative side, because this is a business. That's why they call it show business. It's a lot more than just being on stage. I encourage students to take more business classes. You have to have a plan on how you'll survive, get an agent and find a job.
Thank you to Point Park for motivating me and preparing me for my career. It's a dream come true to have the opportunity to perform in my hometown.

Questions and Answers with Street Artist Mar
Photos and art by Mar.
When you are in Los Angeles and you see really colorful street art or images of smoking hot women, what does it mean? This Means Mar! Mar's work has surely stopped traffic before (and I speak from experience), but little is known about the artist. Good news! As you read on, you will find out a little bit more about the man behind the babes!
According2G: How did you get started in street art?
Mar: I grew up in LA seeing people like Robbie Conal, Shepard Fairey doing political posters, and I was curious as to why they did it, but still too young to understand. In the good ole days of the Venice boardwalk, when graffiti was king, I'd go to skate with my friends and I would see guys throwing down colors, letters, names that were like another language to me. I just liked the energy around it, I guess. I remember seeing this RISK piece he did in Santa Monica and finally it clicked. I got it. I read 'Risk' and for the first time I understood. That word was more than a name; it was the epitome, the reason (to me) why they played that game. Crappy backyard spray painting ensued. Never could do it right. Too disconnected. So like any other graff flunkie, I picked up stencils. Paper bag stencils became my favorite. I had no name or reason for doing it other than I liked seeing funny stuff on the street or sidewalks around town.
A2G: Can you tell us some of your heroes/influences?

According to the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), there are approximately 3,000 spider species in North America. Especially during the colder seasons, these critters may seek shelter in homes. While "kill it!" is the first response many people have to spiders, only a handful of commonly spotted species are actually harmful. It's important to be able to recognize the venomous spiders to avoid danger and ensure proper pest control measures are taken. Venomous spiders can be identified by a homeowner, but an exterminator should be contacted if residents are unsure if their infestation poses a threat.
The black widow
The bold red mark on the abdomen of its otherwise jet black body makes this spider easy to spot. The NPMA recommends residents keep their distance from any large, black bulbous spider. Black widows can be found anywhere a stable source of heat can be found, such as inside a home. They feast on flies and other bugs and live in dark places, like closets or basements. Just a small amount of black widow venom is extremely poisonous and can be fatal, making it essential to get rid of these infestations immediately.
The brown recluse
While this spider is a family member of the black widow, the brown recluse isn't as easy to identify. These spiders are dull-colored and violin shaped, much like several other species. One feature that sets them apart is the fact that they have six eyes, rather than the eight typically seen on spiders. Brown recluses are most common in the Midwest and Southeast, and prefer warm, dry and dark environments like woodpiles and closets.The spider bites when frightened, and a bite can take several weeks to heal and cause severe allergic reactions, according to the NPMA.
The hobo spider
These spiders live in the Pacific Northwest, and have hairy legs and yellow markings on their abdomens. Hobo spiders build webs in holes and cracks and can be found in window wells, behind furniture and other dark hiding places. Unlike bites from black widows and brown recluses, hobo spider bites can go unnoticed at first, but then swell into painful slow-healing wounds. This makes it important to find these pests and have them eliminated by a professional as quickly as possible.

Gury of Kazan
Our father among the saints Gury (+1563) was the first Archbishop of Kazan. He is commemorated by the church on December 5.
Gregory Grigoroevic Rugotin was born in Radonezh to a poor but aristocratic family [1]. He entered the service of Prince Ivan Penkov, where after some years he was unjustly accused of having an affair with the wife of the prince, for which he was thrown into prison for two years. It is said that he was miraculously released one day when his cell was filled with extraordinary light and the door was opened.[2]

Press Release
Governor Congratulates Department of Law Attorneys
July 1, 2009
Anchorage, Alaska - Governor Sarah Palin met today with Department of Law attorneys who played important roles in two recent U.S. Supreme Court cases that were resolved in favor of the State of Alaska.
In both cases, at the urging of Alaska's assistant attorneys general, the high court reversed decisions by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
"I want to thank the dedicated public servants in the Department of Law," Governor Palin said after the meeting. "They work tirelessly on behalf of the state and our citizens. I wanted to take the opportunity to express my appreciation in person for their defense of our rights as a state and to congratulate them on their recent Supreme Court victories."
In Anchorage District Attorney's Office v. Osborne, the Supreme Court ruled that prisoners do not have a constitutional right to post-conviction DNA testing, instead allowing states to set the standards for such tests. Assistant Attorney General Ken Rosenstein argued that case in front of the justices in March, with co-counsel Assistant Attorney General Diane Wendlandt.
In Coeur Alaska, Inc. v. Southeast Alaska Conservation Council, the Supreme Court cleared the way for the Kensington Mine to open near Juneau, approving of a tailings disposal methodology sought by developer Coeur Alaska. The State of Alaska intervened in that case and urged Supreme Court review, even though the federal government had declined to appeal an adverse ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. Assistant Attorneys General Cam Leonard, Joanne Grace and Ruth Hamilton-Heese played important roles in representing Alaska's interests in this case.
"These are some of the country's finest lawyers," said Attorney General Dan Sullivan. "All of us here at the Department of Law are grateful for their commitment to public service and for the opportunity to have their hard work and recent successes recognized by the governor."

Hello you!
The new build is out now on Steam, and will be available this evening on Humble.
Well, it's the end of an era. For many months we've been releasing a new NPC with each update and now – finally – the cast of Sir is complete: meet The Landowner.
This update is a huge internal milestone for us as it represents the last piece of new behavioural code, the last set of animations, the last character to enter our procedurally generated world. We still have more content to come in the form of the Castle Biome, but the vast bulk of Sir's assets are now complete.
Why is this important? Because it means we've had time to really start tinkering with the variables!
This update has seen some really tight focus on core AI behaviour, most noticeably in the Hunters – our most behaviourally-complex AI. You should see big improvements to Hunter combat behaviour, the way they handle cover and corners, but also to their non-combat states. Several improvements were made to the way AI investigate noise and as such distraction items should be more reliable and more rigorously investigated. Our robots have also had their eyes recalibrated, the ranges they will engage and pursue you from should feel much fairer now. That's not to say we've made things easier. There is – of course – the new threat of the Landowner. But the new AI code changes can actually make the bots tougher in some situations, more tricksy.
There are also some new features to play with! The Toy Train now has a secondary "Moving" function mode (as with all items, "Right Mouse" to activate secondary functions) allowing you to set it trundling off in a particular direction rather than remaining static on a track. This can be a great way to lead robots away from – or into – certain areas. Cue conga-lines of robots chasing tooting trains…
Following the successful response to last-update's TrackIR support we've also added a key for independent head-movement just using a key modifier. If you hold down "Left Alt" (default) you can now look around while continuing to move in a different direction. It's like TrackIR, without TrackIR!
There are also some under-the-hood things for modder/tweaker types to play with which we'll talk about more in the BR forums if you're interested…
All in all this release feels great. The cast is complete. They're starting to behave properly, and we only have one biome and customisation options to go before we're content complete and we can start calling this a beta…
As always feedback on the forums is very gratefully received. Enjoy!
We recommend you generate a new world to take advantage of new features. Also: stuff might break on old saves.
– NEW – Landowner NPC.
– NEW – Support for controllers in menus (still not inventories yet, soon!)
– NEW – Free-Look key modifier. Holding "Left Alt" (by default) will allow you move your head independently from the body, simulating TrackIR use for those without that hardware. Only works if TrackIR not running or toggled on.
– Toy Train now has "Moving" mode as well as "Static" (Right Mouse default).
– Improved AI combat behaviour (especially corners and cover management).
– Improved balance for AI vision and pursuit.
– Several improvements to AI noise investigation States. Should result in more reliable
distraction and sound investigation.
– Changed the way AI glimpse-state works so bots no longer spot players unfairly due to heightened aggro state from recent inter-bot combat.
– Changed destination pathing solution for all AI. Bots will no longer want to visit places they can't path to…
– Changed the way bots decide to guard doors. Should result in less over-guarded buildings.
– Exposed robot release schedule to xml file. See BR forums for editing advice…
– Faster bunnies.
– Performance: New audio lodding system should boost FPS.
– Increased Wisp numbers slightly. Use them!
– Faster dogs.
– Sundry loot balance tweaks
– Sundry AI variables tweaked.
– Added option to limit FPS to prevent some hardware configurations running too fast.
– Volumes now applied correctly in menu screen.
– UI on/off toggle fro screenies now turns off crosshair too…
– Compass bearing now relative to head camera (so is in-synch with look direction, not aim direction).
– Fixed several scenery items that weren't blocking path grid properly.
– Fixed some movement issues with Hares.
– Fixed animation issue with sea beast.
– Adjusted perimeter walls for some buildings to fix pathing bottlenecks.
– Fixed some issues with scarecrow teleporting.
– Fixed an issue where quitting immediately after generating a world lost your starting equipment.

It's his money, but they make the decisions, Wilpon said.
"I understand from the fan's point of view, because I am one myself, and I'm very, very sensitive to what their feelings are, and I understand some of it,'' Wilpon said of the fans' angst, but added, "I think that we have to be guided by our baseball people, and our baseball people evaluated, for example, some of our pitchers as good or better than what was on the market.
"Our baseball people evaluated other positions and we went by what they did. Jeff (Wilpon) followed them. Jeff and I don't pick the baseball players. So that's what they wanted to do.''
In addition:
* If Jose Reyes does bat third, Manuel said it is possible Gary Matthews Jr., could lead off if he wins the center field job until Carlos Beltran returns. Again, if it isn't broke don't fix it, and Reyes is one of the game's best leadoff hitters.
* Manuel also said prospect Jennry Mejia could compete for the eighth-inning set-up role, which indicates two things, 1) a concern about Kelvim Escobar, and 2) and doubts about Bobby Parnell.
* Jon Niese appears the leading candidate for the fifth starter spot. Kind of expected that all along. That Manuel would suggest that suggests good news on his hamstring.
* Rod Barajas was finally signed, which gives Josh Thole a chance to develop his game at Triple-A. Not good news for Omir Santos.
