Community support is a powerful force for student growth outside the classroom. Istation provides tools to involve parents, guardians, local libraries, and even nonprofit organizations to increase your students' literacy skills.
For Teachers:
-Student Summary Handout – Print Istation's Student Summary Handout, which includes an overall reading ability score, Lexile® reader measure, a trend line of performance in multiple keys areas of reading, and notation of areas in which the student needs intervention. This resource equips educators with unbiased and nationally normed scores, useful for discussing students' reading weaknesses with parents or guardians.
For Parents or Guardians:
-Lexile Book Finder – Use Istation's Lexile Student Measure to select appropriate texts that your student might enjoy at http://www.lexile.com/fab/istation/.
-Istation Home – Schools and districts can now purchase Istation Home, allowing students to continue working on their individualized learning path at home. Maximize your child' screen time by focusing on important reading skills. Istation's iPad app will be available Fall 2014!
Libraries, Volunteers, and Nonprofit Organizations:
-Istation Home – Istation Home is not just for parents. Not every student has access to computers at home, so when a school or district buys Istation Home, it enables the entire community to work on literacy with students. After-school programs, Boys and Girls Clubs, and libraries can partner with Istation by working with our support department.
-Teacher-Directed Lessons – Teachers can give volunteers scripted interventions that can be conducted one-on-one or in small-group settings. Istation recommends specific lessons based on student performance to help students reach their full reading potential.
Empowering students and fostering growth requires teamwork, and Istation is committed to supporting communities and facilitating learning partnerships.
Lexile® reader measures correlated with ISIP™!
By Tracey Roden
Istation is pleased to announce that beginning on January 27, 2014, Istation's educational technology system now reports Lexile® reader measures correlated with student scores from ISIP™ (Istation's Indicators of Progress) for grades 1 through 8. Administrators, teachers, and parents can now access a student's Lexile reader measure through a variety of Istation reports. Teachers and administrators can find Lexile student measures on the Student Summary Handout and Classroom Summary reports. Parents can find their child's Lexile measure when logging into the Parent Portal Web site.
This past fall, Istation partnered with MetaMetrics®, developer of the widely adopted Lexile® Framework for Reading, to link student comprehension scores from ISIP to the Lexile scale. Students are now given a Lexile reader measure every time they take the ISIP comprehension subtest. The added use of Lexile measures in assessments enhances Istation's ability to provide an effective metric for differentiating instruction and monitoring progress toward state and national proficiency standards. Teachers now have more data to match readers to texts without any additional testing. Because Lexile measures place readers and texts on a common scale, teachers and parents are able to match students with appropriately challenging reading material. Lexile reader measures from ISIP will help them choose targeted readings from more than 100 million articles, books, and Web sites that have been measured.
Istation Reading also aligns its interactive online books and passages to Lexile text measures.
Istation invites your school to take part in a special study!
Istation is currently working with MetaMetrics® to link the ISIP™ Comprehension ability score with The Lexile® Framework for Reading.
MetaMetrics is an educational research and development organization located in North Carolina. Its best-known and most widely used product is the Lexile Framework, which is used in the process of matching readers with books.
So how will this help you? Linking to the Lexile scale provides a mechanism for matching each student with texts that are at or near his or her reading level (with a 75% forecasted comprehension rate) rather than using a grade-based list that may or may not reflect the true reading ability of all the students in the grade. This study will allow Istation to provide student Lexile measures based on performance on the comprehension subtests of our ISIP Assessments.
The study will take place September 23 through October 11, 2013. We need students in grades 1-4, 6, and 8 to participate. Students will take their normal monthly ISIP Assessment and one Lexile linking test within two weeks of each other.
All interested in participating, please contact your Istation account executive or call 1-866-833-7323, extension 4499.
We look forward to working with you and your students on this important project!

The girl on the left is named Maddy. She's beautiful, isn't she? She's also amazingly beautiful on the inside. On Friday night (June 8th), Maddy had a horrible migraine. A few hours later she began throwing up. Around 3:30 AM her eyes rolled back in her head and her family rushed her to the hospital. She was in surgery from 4:30 AM to 8:30. It turns out she had brain damage when she was little that the doctors weren't aware of until last night. Her brain was bleeding internally. The doctors told her family that she was lucky to even have made it to the hospital because most people don't even make it that far. She was put into an induced coma for about 2 or 3 days. The doctors said that she had a very good chance of recovery. Maddy is only fourteen years old.
Last night, around 1 AM, something went wrong. She became unstable and the doctors told us that her condition was worse. She was stabilized a few hours later, but everyone was left scared out of their minds. They still told us that she had a good chance of recovery.
I was just informed (its noon on the 10th) that she is expected to pass away within the next 24 hours because they cannot stop the bleeding in her brain. However, I believe in miracles. I used to make fun of people who posted these kinds of things on Tumblr. However, I see why they do that now. I believe that if many people pray, it will have an impact. Collective prayer, its called. Im asking everyone who sees this to pray for Maddy and her family. We all love her and I believe that she can get better. I cannot imagine what would happen if we lost her. She is an amazing person. If you see this post, Im asking you to please pray for Maddy. I want the word to be spread, so if you feel that this will not ruin your blog, please reblog. If you don't want to reblog it, please like it so that I can show Maddy how many people prayed for her when she gets better. She WILL get better. We need her to.
MY FOLLOWERS BETTER REBLOG THIS. praying for maddy <3
Oh my goodness. Her and her family and friends are definitely in my prayers.
My prayers to her and her family. <3 May GOD have the power to help her recover
((Gaea help this poor girl ;n; ))
I will stab you if you don't reblog this.

Protect Yourself.: STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
Are you an Illinoisstuck, Indianastuck, Michiganstuck, ACENstuck, or any combination of the four?
Are you a girl? Do you like girls? Are there females in our local fandom community that are important to you?
If so, STOP EVERYTHING YOU ARE DOING. Just for a few minutes. Stop scrolling your dash, stop checking facebook, and stop reading the update because the safety of you or someone you care about could depend on the circulation of the information in this post.
We'd like to bring to attention a specific person that we consider to be a major threat to the members of our community, particularly those who are underage and/or female. You may know him as either Jesus Feliciano, Jesse Feliciano, or thattallsummonerguy on tumblr. He's 22 years old, Latino, and 6'3, if you need a memory jogger. He entered the fandom community when he attended Acen this year. (as 50sstuck Equius/Friday, The Summoner/Saturday, and Male Nepeta/Sunday) He has since been attempting to climb the local homestuck social ladder as a means of gaining power and influence among the community.
His intentions are extremely sexual in nature, and he is known to have tendencies toward violence and mental instability. This man is manipulative, persuasive, meticulous, exploiting, and extremely dangerous. His reputation is that of a con man and womanizer with no respect towards females. He is known to have past experiences with the law regarding violent behavior. He is extremely skilled at initially coming off as kind and charming, but later putting women in situations in which it is extremely difficult for them to say no (even if they would have, operating under their normal judgement). He manipulates women (often more than one at a time) by preying on their insecurities and putting them under the false pretenses that he finds value in them.
He has already been banned from the recent boating meetup, and the upcoming Funway meetup and Illinois Promstuck event. He's pending a permanent ban from all future Homestuck meetups.
This Saturday, (May 26, 2012) he is hosting his own Homestuck meetup. We are advising everyone NOT TO GO TO IT. We've been informed by a firsthand account that knows Jesse personally (linked at the bottom of this post) that his intentions with this meetup are far from innocent. He was reported to have gone to Elgin Community College spreading around that he had an event planned with 30 confirmed female guests and needed other guys to gather up as many of them as possible back to his place to "fuck them." This meetup was originally to be held in a public park, but has since been moved to a private residence (presumably his own). It is unsafe and unadvised for anyone to attend a meetup of any kind that is hosted at a stranger's house rather than a public place—especially one with circumstances such as these surrounding it.
As a means to discourage people from attending his meetup and keep as many people as safe as possible, an alternative meetup was planned at Funway in Batavia, IL on the same day. This meetup will include go-karts, mini-golf, bumper boats, batting cages, and water wars. (please message for more information)
For those of you who are not aware, a large majority of the local Homestuck fandom is female, and a very large portion which is underage. Anyone that would prey on the insecurities and naivety of underage girls and exploit them for sex is absolute scum; it's completely unforgivable.
He's already begun to victimize himself and try to garner support and sympathy by trying to play the nice guy who's been accused of being a rapist. Which brings me to another point. No one is accusing him of being a rapist. He's dangerous, yes—but a rapist is a person who has committed rape. To the best of our knowledge, this has not occurred. As we have no intention of spreading false information, we would like to STRONGLY discourage the use of the r word.
The intent of this post is not to start drama or to drag anyone's name through the mud for being a jerk. The purpose is to ensure the safety of the members of our community. If there were a more elegant approach, we'd take it—but unfortunately, there is not. The only way to keep as many people safe as possible is to circulate this information as widely as possible. Our community may have skirmishes. We may argue and fight. But when it comes to things like this, protecting our own, we are the fandom that is unwilling to accept such behavior. It's 100% unacceptable. We are the fandom that said NO.
Ladies, this should serve as an important reminder that you are valuable no matter what. Never, ever let somebody convince you that they are the only one that thinks so. Never depend on another person for you to feel good about yourself, because they may take advantage of it. Don't trust every person that you meet, and ALWAYS place your personal safety above everything else. You are more important, and you always will be.
Please circulate this. Reblog it. Post it on Facebook. Tweet it. Get it trending. Send it to Hussie. I don't care. Do whatever it takes to keep yourselves, your friends, and your followers safe.
VIDEO LINK: A personal testimony from someone who personally knows Jesse
never heard of this fandom, but this is what I live for! to help others is my only useful attribute!

Project Description:
I felt that the
Holy Matrimony Necklace
, because it is a statement piece, needed a pair of very simple earrings to go with it. So I just hung a few links of chain from some pretty sterling silver ball posts. Then I used drop-beading technique to dangle some crystals and pearls from the chain in the same colors that the necklace features. You could change up the colors in these earrings to suit your taste or to match an outfit.

Use your nipper tool to cut 5 links of chain. Use your chain nose pliers to open the eye of the french wire. Add the chain and close the eye.
Place a white opal ab bicone bead and then an 8mm powder rose pearl on a headpin. Above the bead, use your wire looping pliers (or round nose pliers) to create a small loop.
Connect the loop to the bottom link of the five links of chain. Then, wrap the wire around itself a few times and trim the excess. If you are new to drop beading, check out this video.
Repeat this process until you have dangled beads from each of the 5 links of chain. Vary the side of the chain link that you dangle from (the bottom link will hang in the center, the one above it, dangle from the right side of the link, the one above that, dangle from the left side of the link, and so on).
Repeat for a matching earring.

I just weighed myself and I lost 6 more pounds while I was on my Spark Break, i am so happy and excited. I was a little down today and a lot of people stopped by my Spark page to motivate, encourage, and support me and I just want to say thank you to all of you who stopped because I seen your Spark pages and seen the weight that you guys have lost and it really got me back on track with keeping up with this site and my weight loss goals. I just got a brand new Mountain Bike and now that I weighed myself I am so motivated to totally get into shape. If I can lose 6 pounds off of Spark people I know I can reach my goal with Spark people. I just want to sat this is the best website I have ever been a part of and I am truly grateful of it. The Sky is the limit from here.
Hi All,
Just wanted to share this with all of you. The night before last I went to The Kenny Chesney Concert and I had the best time of my life. I danced all day to Gary Allen, Luke Bryan, Leann Rimes, KEITH URBAN, and KENNY CHESNEY ( as you can see they are 2 of my favorite men ). I love country music and six months ago I would not even wanted to go after working and taking care of my 3 yr old all week, Not to mention after working at my second job bar tending. First off we walked a mile from the car to the Arena where he was playing, Then I danced from 4p.m. till 11:00 p.m. , Then walked another mile and a half back to the car. I never got winded, never had to sit down, and I felt great. I just can not wait untill I can look as good as I feel. i just had to share this with everyone.
This is my chance for a fresh start and I hope you will all be with me every step of the way. I also am looking for friends to share motivation, laughs, cries, and just to talk to.

i think freckles, stretch marks, tattoos, bruises, birthmarks and scars are probably the coolest thing, you started with almost a blank canvas and look at u now, all this evidence that you've lived and the sun has shone on you and you've grown and maybe tripped up a few times and liked an image so much u made it a permanent part of u, beautiful.
That's one of the most uplifting things I've readThis needs to get passed around more

Boosting global corn yields depends on improving nutrient balance - 09/16/2014 10:22 PM
Ensuring that corn absorbs the right balance of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium is crucial to increasing global yields, a study finds. A review of data from more than 150 studies from the U.S. and other regions showed that high yields were linked to production systems in which corn plants took up key nutrients at specific ratios -- nitrogen and phosphorus at a ratio of 5-to-1 and nitrogen and potassium at a ratio of 1-to-1.Read more on Science Daily

Cork hat
A cork hat (Also known as a Hobbly-Bob) is a type of headgear with cork strung from the brim, to ward off insects.
Believed by some to have been worn by jackaroos and swagmen in the blow-fly infested Australian outback,[1] the cork hat has become part of the stereotypical, almost mythical, representation of the Australian ocker,[2] particularly in the United Kingdom. The shape and material of cork hats vary, though typically they are shaped similar to a slouch hat. Pieces of cork, often shaped as bottle stoppers, are hung on string from the brim of the hat. The low density of cork means a number of pieces may hang from a hat without significantly increasing its weight. Movement of the head causes the corks to swing, discouraging insects from swarming around the wearer's head. In modern times the cork hat is virtually never seen and is little more than a novelty item. Further there is little evidence to indicate that its use in previous eras was any more common or widespread.

In this Aug. 11, 2011 photo provided by the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department, Marvin Lane Ussery is shown, Ussery, 48, was spotted scaling a seven foot, barbed wire chain link fence encircling a large wooded area behind California State Prison, Sacramento, late Wednesday night.
FOLSOM, Calif. — Most inmates are trying to get out of prison, but authorities say they caught a California parolee trying to sneak back in.
Corrections Sgt. Tony Quinn says 48-year-old Marvin Lane Ussery was spotted late Wednesday night scaling the 7-foot tall, barbed wire-topped fence that encircles a large wooded area behind the California State Prison in Sacramento.
Quinn says Ussery served time at New Folsom for robbery before he was paroled in June 2009.
Officials are investigating whether Ussery was attempting to smuggle in drugs or cellphones, but say they haven't found any contraband.
Ussery is being held in Sacramento County Jail on suspicion of violating his parole and being an ex-convict on prison property.

Symbian Foundation to Shut Down Websites
The Symbian Foundation announces website closures starting mid-December 2010.
Recently the Symbian Foundation announced Nokia's commitment to making the Symbian platform available under an alternative direct and open model. As a result of the Symbian Foundation licensing transition, there will be a reduction in daily operations and staff numbers.
The licensing transition will also affect Symbian's websites. All of the websites hosted by Symbian will be shutting down on December 17, 2010, including symbian.org, symbian.org/cn, symbian.org/jp, developer.symbian.org, developer.symbian.org/cn, developer.symbian.org/jp, kernel.symbian.org, horizon.symbian.org, ideas.symbian.org, blog.symbian.org, blogcn.symbian.org, and blogjp.symbian.org. The Symbian Twitter feed and Facebook page will most likely be discontinued as well.
After the developer.symbian.org site shuts down, the Symbian source repositories will no longer be available. The Symbian platform is available online until December 17, and Symbian encourages users to download the platform before the website closures.
More information on the Symbian licensing transition can be found on the Symbian wiki page.

Mar 3rd, 14
Feb 2nd, 14
First up THANK YOU to everyone that got involved and entered the MEGA AWESOME JANUARY GIVEAWAY. We had over 150 entries into the competition in total. And judging it was a lot harder than i expected.
In fact it was so hard i couldn't decide of one sole winner, so have chosen 3 as joint winners!!
As well as that i have chosen a further 6 entries that will all get prints as a prize.
So in no particular order are my 3 winners, i think between them they tick all my criteria, one shows great craftsmanship and dedicated time to make something beautiful, another has a great concept and is both visually striking but challenging and considered, and the third is great fun and has a thoroughness featuring many elements of my work.
First up: Rafael Batista awesome sculptural piece '3D INSA puzzle set'
Next: Myneandyours photographic piece 'Self Reflection is Greater Than Self Projection'
In the attempt to deter unwanted attention away from women, in cultures across the Gulf the Hijab (veil) accompanied by the Niqab (mask) are worn to promote a sense of modesty, privacy, and morality. To the ignorant mind and untrained eye some may view this dress as an oppressive cloak, but beneath this ensemble lies someone considered more feminine than those who reveal all.
Where many women today still remain true to this notion and fully cover their bodies, the irony lies in that nowadays it has become commonplace to see the veil complemented by tight jeans, and a pair of sparkly six-inch Louboutins. The middle-east is enriched in oil and wealth, and has in parts facilitated a culture obsessed with image, perceptions, and of course money.
INSA has on many occasions dealt with the objectification of women, and "Its' use as a tool that forces us to consider the way in which we dehumanize and commodify women". Without a cover women are more susceptible to this commodification, and I guess this is inevitable.
It may be uncommonly known that those who adorn this traditional garb are those who are actually the most extraverted of all. What lies beneath is the only true reflection, but appearances inevitably cause prejudices. It brings to light some interesting questions; was the veil historically introduced as a way to deal with the exact issues that INSA tackles in his work today, aligning sexual identity "More with consumerism rather than real human connection"?
Many Muslim women consider the headscarf as a form of feminist expression, as it forces the outside world to judge them based on their character and not their looks. Is this still the case today, or are we living in a more hypocritical culture? Have women objectified themselves in response to our own objectifications? As INSA says "I think as individuals we are a complex mix of contradictions", and this is what made this project so interesting for me and my wife.
And so…of all the places I have found myself in the past 12 months, I'm currently in Dubai, where money not only grows on trees but also from the soil they stem from. I purchased the relevant attire from a local store; persuaded my wife to commit to a publically daring feat; and ventured into theZabeel Saray hotel on the infamous man-made Palm Island. I had heard it was overly lavish.
I can see the fear emanating from my wife's eyes as she made her way to the changing room. She returned, fake eyelashes adorned, sporting six-inch heals, and hiding her new INSA Rainbow leggings beneath the traditional garb. We ordered a Moroccan tea and began setting up. At first glance no one cared to look twice; she was just another in local dress. Once the leggings emerged heads turned, and faces quickly transformed from expressionless to offended. We were immediately pressed for time.
Where the shots may not have been as photographically perfect as I would have liked (I'm no photographer), the reaction said it all. The juxtaposition was a perfect example of the effects of the objectification of women; a perfect example of what happens when women objectify themselves, and a perfect example of not knowing what lies beneath (we should never be too quick to judge).
All in all, an INSA experiment in the unlikeliest of locations, and a night out we will remember for a long time to come.
INSA quotes sourced from High-Heeled Provocateur: An Interview with INSA
By Charlotte Jansen.
And the final winner is: Marqus AKC'Ent 'INSA-CEPTION (a GIF Film)'
And now the six runners up:
Alex and Mike, 2 chefs from Chicago crated these INSA inspired dishes- first a selection of sushi and second herb encrusted oyster of chicken served on the bone…
Carson Taylor entered a whole music video featuring INSA inspired scenes:
Lon Wenger created the INSA-FY your life filter:
Jeff Blackburn painted this piece inspired by my old 'Exterior Gloss' painting:
Melissa got fully painted for her entry:

In Africa they have Marabou's or more commonly know to us as witch doctors.
While in Makasutu i was privileged with meeting the local Marabou.
And in the most extreme of cultural exchanges we swapped magic…..
I painted his home with my white man GIF-iti magic and he made me and my family some of his magical Jujus.
This was an intense and surreal experience, and something i never would have dreamt of happening.
Thank you.

While out in Miami i thought i'd get a quick spot in amongst the graffiti disneyland of wynwood walls.
Thanks to Adjust Gallery for the wall.
And while i was painting local girl Diana rocked up in INSA LEGGINGS 'MTL Sunset' which matched the wall perfectly and she was ready to show off her hand walking SKILLZ…..
And if that wasn't cool enough on the same day, another local, Joelle walked by wearing the INSA x MAKERS rainbow dress holding a bunch of rainbow balloons…. CRAZY!

Here is the beautiful moment the dug out i painted in Africa took its maiden voyage on the River Gambia….
A traditional African hand carved mahogany canoe painted and varnished and ready for fishing in style!
I hope to return to the Makasutu jungle again in the next year and see how this boat has held up and paint more fishing boats.
Getting a boat like this into the water is no easy feat. Here are the local guys helping launch it!

Viral Art is an interesting new online book written by RJ Rushmore.
It discusses how graffiti and street art have always used affective ways of communication from the early days of painting trains to how this has now been shaped by new technologies and if the future of graffiti lies online!?
I haven't read all of it yet- but it is a thorough and interesting read and available to all to READ ONLINE – which due to the subject is a great way to put the book out.
Personally i find the section on GIFS to be most interesting
"GIF-iti is a form of graffiti where the audience is targeted by interest but not limited by geography. For this reason, INSA's GIF-iti is one of the most important advances in graffiti and street art in the last decade."

Cool new London boutique ONExONE and me thought it would be fun to create a christmas window display for their new Soho store.
I chose to re visit my previous work 'Only God And You Can Judge Me' within the context of Christmas windows being just another vulgar part of selling commodified festive joy….
The window installation features a real live bikini wearing, shotgun wielding Virgin Mary, giant golden sphincter, angel winged Uzi machine guns, neon lights and all the razzle dazzle i hope you'd come to expect from INSALAND….
What could celebrate a decadent capitalist dream more than this?!
HAPPY CHRISTMAS and
from INSA and ONExONE store
The display with be on show until xmas at:
ONE by ONE store
70 Berwick Street
But wait we even made this awesome t-shirt from the original 'Only God And You Can Judge Me' piece.
This premium full front printed shirt is now available at ONExONE store or in my online shop HERE

News - Afghanistan
If the Mujahedeen leaders in the Jihadi Council form military units and distribute weapons, Afghanistan may face more civil war in the country, Afghan Senator Gulalai Akbari said Sunday.
"Reports say that they are distributing weapons. If the Mujahedeen are taking out their weapons, they can bring Afghanistan to two more civil wars," Akbari said.
Several other senators said that the DDR program sought to disarm militia groups and the process of re-arming them should not be allowed to begin again.
"All illegal weapons were collected through the DDR program. The distribution of weapon should not happen again," second vice chair of Afghan Senate Rafiullah Gul Afghan said.
Some senators blamed President Hamid Karzai for the plans.
"Does Ismail Khan have a weapons factory to distribute them illegally? This should be investigated," Senator Hedayatullah Rehahi said.
Mohammad Ismail Khan, the Minister of Energy and Water, revealed plans of the Jihadi Council ten days ago to group into military units to help - as he says - defend Afghanistan after 2014.
"These leaders have started treason once again, Senator Belqis Roshan said. "How is it possible for Karzai that a member of his cabinet forms such a force but he's not aware, its really interesting," he added.
Meanwhile, Energy and Water Minister Mohammad Ismail Khan has rejected claims the Jihadi Council is also distributing weapons, saying it was a conspiracy against him.
"Herat's provincial spokesman showed a form to media which he claimed shows the distribution of weapons by the Jihadi Council. This is fake and a conspiracy against me," he told reporters.
Herat officials said that distribution of weapon in the province is unacceptable and serious measures will be taken against anyone found to be doing so.

Okay this is what I'm thinking. It takes place in the Dark Ages but its not historically accurate. Actually think Lord of the Rings, there's all sorts of different creatures and what not but we have NO powers.
Now with that said you can have magical weapons, like an enchanted sword or a weapon crafted by the gods type of thing. Its a complete fantasy world so as long as it fits with the time period feel free.
Shadow Arrow has special privileges that others will not have but thats life :P
As soon as we get people on board I'll make a story and the RPG itself. I'm thinking we'll have different Kings for different areas and heroes who don't want to be King or in a Kingdom can be like Rangers who roam this enchanted world doing whatever. Same with Villains, you can also have your own Kingdom or serve in one or maybe a couple of you wanna ban together as a little guild or something.
Give me some feed back and lets see what happens.

If the parking validation person in Gambia theatre tries to talk you into validating at the mall because it's cheaper. Don't listen. It's just two buck less but by the time you get out of the show the validation machine is off so parking will be $26! We had to go back to the theatre, which was closed so we had to get security to ask someone in the office to sell us one for $10. So your best bet is buying validation at the theatre and don't let her talk you out of it!Colin Mochrie & Brad Sherwood: Two Man Group info • Feb 21 2014 star this tip starred

NORFOLK -- A breakthrough may be on the way for teens with Autism.
Eastern Virginia Medical School is conducting a clinical study of two a medicine that holds the promise of helping the teens develop social and communication skills.
"Anecdotally, we are encouraged and gratified because we've noticed a few persons who seem to be dramatic responders," said Dr. Stephen Deutsch.
One of them is 19-year-old Travis Meeks, who is on D-cycloserine.
"I'm not afraid anymore, he said.
"For him to say 'Hey Mom, you're a good cook' is one of those things you don't expect to hear," said Michelle Meeks.
EVMS will hold an Autism symposium at 6:00 p.m. on April 25.
A second study has been approved but not started. EVMS will test an Alzheimer's medication to see if it's helpful to autistic adolescents.

By Laura Anderson Shaw, firstname.lastname@example.com
MOLINE -- Construction on a $3.7 million Sustainable Technologies Building at Black Hawk College should be completed in April, officials said at a Tuesday groundbreaking ceremony.College president Gene Gardner said classes in the "cutting edge" building should start next summer or fall. Rose Campbell, executive vice president and vice president for instruction/ITS, said this will be the college's first new building in four decades, providing space and technology for the region's first materials-technology degree.The 13,000-square-foot, one-story building will include two high-tech, 40-seat classrooms; a 24-seat classroom; a materials science lab; a sustainable technologies lab; an instructional wind turbine; a geothermal field to heat and cool the building; solar thermal heating to supplement the hot water heater; and a green roof. College public relations specialist Holly Smith said the project will be funded with $1 million from the Illinois Jobs Now Bill, and the remainder from a bond sale. The college will recoup $23,000 through MidAmerican Energy's Commercial New Construction program.Officials credited Ms. Campbell for being a prime visionary behind the project.Ms. Campbell said that after the Sustainable Technology Certificate program was created a couple of years ago, the college reviewed its engineering and technology curriculum and asked what she would do if funds were available. With a "wish list" in her head, she said she started working with a BHC alum and titanium expert, and the idea grew for a new two-year degree and plans for the technologies building and curriculum. Officials said the curriculum -- which will complement existing engineering and sustainable programs -- will be based on what will support business and industry. Programming also will be available to homeowners and small businesses interested in sustainable fields. Michael Rivera, dean of instruction and student learning, said the additional space will be a "launching pad" for 14 new courses, the new materials science technologies degree and three new certificates -- polymers and plastics, ceramics and glass, and metallurgical technologies.Mr. Gardner said demand for these skills is growing rapidly.Elected officials on hand for the groundbreaking included U.S. Rep. Bobby Schilling, R-Colona; state Rep. Rich Morthland, R-Cordova; state Rep. Pat Verschoore, D-Milan; state Sen. Mike Jacobs, D-East Moline; Moline Mayor Don Welvaert; East Moline Mayor John Thodos and Silvis Mayor Bill Fox.The new building will be between Building 2 and the softball field.

This was something I pulled together for a Death By Puppets slam performance last night.
Placebo Smith is BACK! in "Raiders of the Research Loophole"
Or more importantly (to me): Doctor Sham is BACK!
These are two of my favorite puppets
I had nothing to do with this DxP video… but I loved it.
The world's premiere source for news about rockets, by rockets, for rockets.
Outtakes posted over a week ago to our youtube channel? You would have seen them already if you were subscribed you know.
Very remiss indeed.
Death By Puppets presents a thrilling adventure of Placebo Smith and her nemesis Doctor Sham!
I've been remiss in reblogging the DxP stuff that I built and performed for…
Obscure teaser to future Death By Puppets productions…
It's so hard to find good help these days…
The Last Puppet A Week?
With this being the last full week of the year, I guess that means I'm wrapping up the Puppet A Week project. Well… maybe. I'm keeping the domain, and I'm continuing with working on Death By Puppets projects, though I may not have my artificial deadline of one new puppet each week.
There are a few puppets I wanted to make but haven't: some caricatures, at least one marionette, and some shadow puppets. There are a number of puppets I ended up not happy with. But I learned a lot about what I wanted to, and more than a smidgeon on how to make better puppets than I was making when this project started. As a project this was, I think, a success. As a learning experience as well. I'm not anywhere near a professional at it, but I think I've moved a bit out of being a total amateur.
Thank you to all the people who have followed along or supported the project in any way. Next year? More performances, more puppetry styles, more experimentation, more DO-ing.
I keep forgetting to upload this to the tumblr. The Zombie Chorus is almost all ready for The Holiday Puckin Fuppet Show (just tweaking controls now). These were for the last two to three weeks' puppets. This week not a new puppet, but more performance stuff, and props (pics of those later).
We will be using this Zombie Chorus as part of our piece for The Puckin Fuppet Show tonight.
The Zombie Chorus doing Re: Your Brains by Jonathan Coulton won the Puckin Fuppet show! (Audience votes on their favorite piece and inexplicably we came out on top!)

The workgroup transgender, religion, philosophy of life and ethics
De werkgroep transgender, religie, levensbeschouwig en ethiek
zaterdag 15 juni 2013
Transgender and Religion
The workgroup transgender, religion, philosophy of life and ethics
The goal of the workgroup transgender, religion, philosophy of life and ethics is to build a bridge between religious transgenders, transsexuals and the different religions.
The workgroup developed a 6 step plan:
1. Research
2. Compile Transgender-Friendly Religions and Spiritual Card
3. Information and Public Relations
4. Advice and Support Transgender-Friendly Religions, Spirituale Care
5. Dialogue
6. Round Table Talks, Workshops and Lecture
The workgroup has carried out research among transgenders in the Netherlands and keeps in contact with religious, lgbt organizations, religious leaders, universities, academies and students, and gives lectures, information and advice.
The research entitled "A helping hand" shows that during the transprocess, help is not always automatically given, but also not in all cases impossible to receive from religion. Within the Christian religion, in which most of the people who were interviewed were raised, there is often very little openness towards sex changes or people who do not feel completely that they are a man or a woman. Processes of change are sometimes seriously delayed by the often unwilling attitude of religious leaders. Some of the people questioned ultimately find their way within the Christian religion or succeed in starting a dialogue with the church, and others seek support in spiritual movements such as Buddhism. The research shows the necessity of more dialogue and build up of knowledge about transsexuals, transgenders and religion
The workgroup set up Transgender Religion Global Network - Transgender Friendly Religious Alliance: http://transgenderreligionglobalnetwork.blogspot.nl/
On our website you can find information, articles and websites on transgender and religion "Christian, Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism, Islam in Dutch and English.http://transenreligie.blog2blog.nl/

The first consequence of Adam's and Eve's sin mentioned in Genesis 3:7 is that "the eyes of both were opened, and they knew that they were naked. And they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves loincloths."
Suddenly they are self-conscious about their bodies. Before their rebellion against God, there was no shame. "The man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed" (Genesis 2:25). Now there is shame. Why?
There is no reason to think that it's because they suddenly became ugly. Their beauty wasn't the focus in Genesis 2:25, and their ugliness is not the focus here in Genesis 3:7. Why then the shame? Because the foundation of covenant-keeping love collapsed. And with it the sweet, all-trusting security of marriage disappeared forever.
The foundation of covenant-keeping love between a man and a woman is the unbroken covenant between them and God—God governing them for their good and they enjoying him in that security and relying on him. When they ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, that covenant was broken and the foundation of their own covenant-keeping collapsed.
They experienced this immediately in the corruption of their own covenant love for each other. It happened in two ways. Both relate to the experience of shame. In the first case, the one viewing my nakedness is no longer trustworthy, so I am afraid I will be shamed. In the second, I myself am no longer at peace with God, but I feel guilty and defiled and unworthy—I deserve to be shamed.
In the first case, I am self-conscious of my body, and I feel vulnerable to shame because I know Eve has chosen to be independent from God. She has made herself central in the place of God. She is essentially now a selfish person. From this day forward, she will put herself first. She is no longer a servant. So she is not safe. And I feel vulnerable around her, because she is very likely to put me down for her own sake. So suddenly my nakedness is precarious. I don't trust her any more to love me with pure covenant-keeping love. That's one source of my shame.
The other source is that Adam himself, not just his spouse, has broken covenant with God. If she is rebellious and selfish, and therefore unsafe, so am I. But the way I experience it in myself is that I feel defiled and guilty and unworthy. That's, in fact, what I am. Before the Fall, what was and what ought to have been were the same. But now, what is and what ought to be are not the same.
I ought to be humbly and gladly submissive to God. But I am not. This huge gap between what I am and what I ought to be colors everything about me—including how I feel about my body. So my wife might be the safest person in the world, but now my own sense of guilt and unworthiness makes me feel vulnerable. The simple, open nakedness of innocence now feels inconsistent with the guilty person that I am. I feel ashamed.
So the shame of nakedness arises from two sources, and both of them are owing to the collapse of the foundation of covenant love in our relationship with God. One is that Eve is no longer reliable to cherish me; she has become selfish and I feel vulnerable that she will put me down for her own selfish ends. The other is that I already know that I am guilty myself, and the nakedness of innocence contradicts my unworthiness—I am ashamed of it.
Genesis 3:7 says that they tried to cope with this new situation by making clothing: "They sewed fig leaves together and made themselves loincloths." Adam's and Eve's effort to clothe themselves was a sinful effort to conceal what had really happened. They tried to hide from God (Genesis 3:8). Their nakedness felt too revealing and too vulnerable. So they tried to close the gap between what they were and what they ought to be by covering what is, and presenting themselves in a new way.
