Dharam Singh brings a unique and earthy perspective to the Kundalini Yoga community that is inspired by broad exposure to Native American Shamanism, Tibetan Buddhism and Reichian Body-centered Therapy.
Dharam Singh hails from NYC, where, as a child in the 60′s one could hear, on any given summer night, the rich rhythms and chants of Africa brought by immigrants from Cuba and the Caribbean blending with the sounds of Motown, R&B, and Jazz. Years later, as Hip Hop culture would emerge, he witnessed the role music and dance could serve, not only as a form of expression, but as a pressure relief valve for tensions. He spent 10 years doing radio with NPR in Fairbanks, AK, further expanding his knowledge and experience of an extremely wide range of music from many different cultures. Now, his passion for the transformative power of sound and music has found a place in the use of the Gong as a tool for deep healing. He has "gleaned" a great deal from, and studied with Richard Hite, Iasos, Yogi Bhajan, Ed Mann and Michael Bettine.
Having walked the path of Sikh Dharma, with Yogi Bhajan, for more than 30 years he has come to more fully understand that sound and energy is the essence of the order of everything and that people can find peace and wellness simply through laying down, relaxing and listening.

Start-up engine manufacturer Price Induction is about to begin endurance testing on its 575-pound-thrust Dgen 380 turbofan by the end of this month. A new architecture on the core engine was validated in December for better performance after 50 hours of testing, a spokesperson from the France-based company told AIN. The A6 standard of the full engine, which incorporates the core changes, has run about 20 hours since.

Last week China flew a new home-grown heavy-lift helicopter for the first time. The AC313 tips the scales at 27,600 pounds, can carry up to 27 people, has a maximum ferry range of 560 miles and was built at state-owned AVIC, the same company making Sikorsky S-76C++ airframes. The AC313 appears to be an outgrowth of the 14,000-pound Chinese Zhi-8. That medium helicopter is based on the 1970s-vintage Aérospatiale SA321 Super Frelon.

Misleading Statements From Directors – Actions Available to Shareholders
When directors have made misleading statements there are a number of potential penalties and remedies available to minority shareholders. Rupert Wright, a corporate lawyer with Charles Lucas & Marshall explains.
Misleading statements by directors mainly relate to information and projections which are presented to investors which are false or misleading and which never had any hope of ever being fulfilled.
There are a number of options for redress by shareholders – whether under criminal law, common law or under the Companies Act 2006.
The first consideration in any potential criminal prosecution is the Code for Crown Prosecutors. Any prosecution must comply with the evidential stage and the public interest stage. A person is only charged with allegations of crime where both tests are met. Potential criminal offences might include misleading statements in relation to investments, fraud by false representation, fraud by abuse of position and conspiracy to defraud.
Under Section 397 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, there are three elements which the prosecution must prove to make out an offence: namely that a misleading statement was made, that there was a requisite state of mind and also that the defendant must have acted with the purpose of inducing any person to act or refrain from acting in a way specified or was reckless. The maximum sentence for an offence contrary to Section 397 is seven years in prison although this would be reserved for the worst cases of its kind.
As well as a criminal claim, there are potential civil remedies for making a misleading statement. In the case of a civil claim, the following matters need consideration: deceit, conspiracy, dishonest assistance, breach of fiduciary duties, unjust enrichment and knowing receipt.
The Companies Act lays down the various fiduciary duties for directors. In particular, a director must act within its powers, promote the success of the company, exercise reasonable skill, care and diligence and avoid conflicts of interest.
It is also open to minority shareholders to make a derivative claim which applies where shareholders have suffered or may suffer damage to their shareholding as a result of the conduct of a director. A derivative claim is an action commenced by a shareholder seeking relief on behalf of the company in respect of wrong done to the company. It is also open to members to make an unfair prejudice claim under Sections 994 to 999 of the Companies Act 2006. A claim under this section can be made where the company's affairs are being or have been conducted in a manner that is unfairly prejudicial to the interests of members.
In summary, there are a number of avenues open to shareholders to make a claim where misleading statements have been made by directors. Directors can potentially face a wide ambit of potential criminal and civil claims and should consult their lawyers on a regular basis before making statements which could be potentially misleading.

Finding Solutions to Everyday Business Problems
Top Ten Tips for Businesses On How To Deal With Commercial Disputes
Dealing with a commercial dispute can significantly disrupt the smooth flow of a business. Paul Trincas, corporate services lawyer with Charles Lucas & Marshall gives his top ten tips on how best to handle them.
It is a fact of life that, from time to time, a business will be faced with having to deal with some form of commercial dispute.
It can be expensive – not forgetting the soft costs of wasted manpower time – as well as the hard costs such as lawyer's fees and other costs which might arise if the dispute is not resolved in the business' favour.
Having specialised in the area of commercial disputes over many years, here are my top 10 tips on managing them:
1. Do not ignore the fact that a commercial dispute has arisen.
2. Don't let the dispute fester.
3. Don't put the dispute on the 'back-burner' in the hope that it will simply go away.
4. Face up to the dispute head on at an early stage as this may very well help 'nip it in the bud'.
5. Engage in early dialogue with a view to resolving the dispute. Time and again, I deal with clients who have simply not bothered to speak to the other side, with the result that this simply adds to the problem, and a dispute which could have been resolved with early dialogue, drags on, often, unnecessarily.
6. If early dialogue does not resolve matters, then you may need to seek legal advice. If so, seeking legal advice at an early stage can pay dividends. A lawyer, entering the forum afresh and unbiased, may see ways in which the dispute can be resolved without proceeding any further.
7. If you do need to seek legal advice, then preparation, in advance, for the lawyer, of a bundle or file of relevant documents in strict chronological date order, can save an enormous amount of time and money. There have been too many occasions to mention when I have received a file of papers from a client with papers jumbled up and out of order. This means I have to make sense of them, sometimes at a significant cost to the client, before I can even embark on a consideration of the factual and legal issues involved.
8. If the commercial dispute does end up in court, then it is paramount that you, as the client. comply with all deadlines set, as failure to do so can nowadays have serious consequences to the proper conduct of your case, not to mention potentially serious adverse cost consequences.
9. If some form of alternative dispute resolution is offered in an attempt to resolve matters, then do not turn down such an opportunity, no matter how strong you may feel your case is. Statistics show that some 80 per cent of cases that proceed to some form of dispute resolution are successful in resolving the dispute.
10. Always be aware and mindful of the fact that no matter how strong you may feel your case is, if the matter ends up in court it is not your view that counts, but the view of the judge, who may not agree with your assessment.

Directors' Guarantees – A Warning
In today's current climate when a company is able to secure bank lending, it is common practice for the bank to ask for a personal guarantee from directors. Rupert Wright, a corporate services specialist with law firm Charles Lucas & Marshall, explains the implications of signing a personal guarantee.
A Court of Appeal decision earlier this year should act as a warning to directors who sign personal guarantees.
The Court of Appeal ruled that a director was liable for more than £330,000 almost seven years after he had resigned from the company. The lender provided the company with a significant amount of credit. After the company fell into arrears, the lender sought personal guarantees from the directors which they at first declined to give. When the lender threatened to withdraw the company's credit, the directors signed a written guarantee giving rise to joint and several liability for all sums due to the society by the company. At the time of signing, the personal guarantee was limited to £200,000.
In 2006 when the director resigned as one of the directors of the company and sold his shareholding, the company's debt to the lender stood at approximately £400,000. This increased so that at the time when the company ceased to trade, the debt to the lender had increased to £700,000.
The director challenged the lower court ruling on a range of issues, but the court held in favour of the lender.
The case illustrated that the courts will look at the wording of a document and if it is clearly an all monies type of guarantee, the credit limit can be varied and the director's liability would not be limited to the credit limit at the time the guarantee was given or the limit in place when they resigned from the company. Directors when resigning from a company should ensure that they secure their release from any personal guarantee given, or at the very least, seek an indemnity from remaining directors.
Generally directors should seek legal advice when committing themselves to guarantees, particularly when guaranteeing someone else's debt. They need to know if the person asking for the guarantee has the ability to service and repay the loan. They need to check this person's credit history and they need to be sure that this person can meet all the borrower's obligations.
Also, the guarantor should note that generally lenders are not obliged to notify guarantors of a borrower's financial difficulty. In fact, the bank would be in breach of its duty of confidentiality to the borrower if it did so.
Guarantors should also note the bank does not have to pursue the borrower for the debt. Once the borrower is in default, the bank has a right to pursue the guarantor. If more than one guarantor has guaranteed the borrower's debts the bank can choose who to pursue.
In summary, it is vital that legal advice should be sought at all times before directors enter into guarantees so that they are aware of its implications.

Can Tenants Withhold Rent?
James Woodhouse, a litigation specialist with law firm, Charles Lucas & Marshall, asks if tenants in residential property can withhold rent if their landlord is in breach of repair obligations?
This is an area of some complexity and both tenants and landlords should take advice as to firstly, whether the landlord is in breach of its repair obligations and secondly, remedies which might available to the tenant.
Much will depend on the facts of each case, including the terms of the tenancy agreement and the nature of disrepair.
If the landlord is in breach of its repair obligation (which in itself might be in dispute) the tenant will have an action in breach of covenant. As in any claim for damages, thought will need to be given to the proper value of the tenant's claim. In the first instance, the tenant should expect re-dress for the fact that – whilst the property is in disrepair – he is not getting proper value for the rent he is paying.
The tenant has two options: to continue to pay rent in full and pursue the landlord separately for damages or exercise a right of set-off, by withholding rent against the tenant's disrepair claim.
The second option might appear the more attractive, as it puts the landlord under pressure to complete the repairs sooner rather than later.
Scenario One: Landlord agrees to accept reduced amount of rent whilst repairs remain outstanding – this is the ideal outcom, but the agreement should be properly recorded.
Scenario Two: Landlord insists, that despite the disrepair, rent still be paid in full – the tenant's only option here is to withhold rent regardless and rely upon a right of set-off when responding to the landlord's claim for rent arrears / possession.
Many tenancy agreements will attempt to exclude the tenant's right of set-off, by requiring the tenant to pay rent 'without deductions'. That form of wording in itself might be too imprecise to prevent the tenant exercising a right of set-off.
Further, a provision which requires the tenant to pay rent free of deductions might fall foul of consumer protection laws.
The tenant will of course need to decide how much rent it should withhold. This involves the tenant effectively attempting a valuation exercise. There is no guarantee that the Court will agree with the tenant's assessment.
The first option suggested above (continuing to pay rent in full and pursuing a damages claim separately) involves the tenant bringing the action, rather than wilfully defaulting on rent and then responding to the landlord's claim. The tenant avoids the two issues identified above: establishing a right of set-off and calculating how much rent to withhold.

When Is A Company Insolvent
In the current economic climate, directors must be careful to check the solvency position of their company, says Rupert Wright, a corporate services lawyer with Charles Lucas & Marshall.
In the event that a company later goes into liquidation, a liquidator can argue that a dividend payment made to a shareholder of the company could constitute an unlawful dividend which they could recover.
Also, if a director's loan is repaid at the time the company was insolvent, this could constitute an unlawful preference and the liquidator might be entitled to recover this, depending upon the solvency position of the company.
Under the Insolvency Act, a company is deemed to be unable to pay its debts if the company is unable to pay its debts as and when they fall due – and also if the value of the company's assets is less than the amount of its liabilities, taking into account its contingent and prospective liabilities.
The first factor is the so called cashflow test and the second consideration is the balance sheet test. A recent Supreme Court decision which related to Eurosail-UK concerned the interpretation of what constitutes balance sheet insolvency and in this context, the treatment of contingent and prospective liabilities.
Eurosail was set up in 2007 by Lehman Brothers which purchased a portfolio involving sub-prime mortgage loans secured on UK residential property.
As a result of the collapse of the swap agreements with Lehmans and the accounting standards to which Eurosail's accounts were prepared, there was a deficit shown on its balance sheet. Therefore, the question was whether this balance sheet in fact reflected the commercial outcome for creditors.
The liquidators applied to the Court for a ruling as to whether Eurosail could be considered to be unable to pay its debts and therefore whether it could be placed into liquidation, notwithstanding that the principal amounts under the loan were not yet due and payable.
The Supreme Court upheld the Court of Appeal's Decision that the values on the balance sheet must involve consideration of the relevant facts of the case including when the prospective liability fell due. Therefore, they did not consider that Eurosail could be considered to be insolvent.
This case shows the importance of the commercial context and reality of a company's financial position in making an assessment as to whether a company is balance sheet insolvent.
Contingent and future liabilities should be considered in all the commercial circumstances of the case. The larger, closer and more likely the contingency is, the more likely it is that the company will be deemed insolvent. However, such assessment will always be dependent on all the circumstances of the case and legal advice should always be sought.

Business debts: "To Sue Or Not To Sue – That Is The Question"
Paul Trincas, a litigation specialist at law firm, Charles Lucas & Marshall weighs up how far a business should go to recover money it is owed.
Very often, the first, and perhaps most natural reaction for a business owner faced with a customer or client who has failed to pay without good reason, is to sue for the monies owed.
However, to implement that initial reaction is not as easy or straightforward as you think it might be. Several business and economic factors need to be weighed in the balance before making the decision to sue.
Is there an on-going commercial relationship to maintain ?
It may well be that the monies owed are small compared to the overall gain to be
achieved by not pursuing it through the courts and securing future business worth significantly more, in financial terms, than the current sum owed.
Is the amount worth suing for ?
If the amount is of any significance, and all other measures to secure payment have failed, then it may well be worth suing through the courts. If you succeed in your claim, you would also be entitled to seek payment of your legal costs.
However, where the sum involved is £5,000 or less, then this will constitute a 'small claim', where normal costs rules do not apply. Instead, in such cases, the costs rule, subject to very limited exceptions, is that each party, win or lose, will have to pay its own costs. All the successful creditor will be able to recover are the court fee and limited fixed costs. This means that for lesser value claims, the whole exercise is not economically viable.
Will you actually get paid ?
Having succeeded in the action, you will get a Judgment, effectively ordering the customer or client to pay the money. But what if the client or customer does not pay? In this scenario, there is no magical formula for securing payment of your money. The client or customer will not go to prison for defaulting on payment on the Judgment as this is a civil debt and not a criminal matter.
You as the business owner, will then have to go back to court in order to enforce the Judgment debt in the most appropriate method, given the financial circumstances of your customer or client. However, further costs will be incurred in the enforcement process, and, you will only be able to recover limited fixed costs – normally a fraction of the total costs incurred in the enforcement process.

DIY Commercial Litigation – A False Economy?
James Woodhouse, a litigation specialist with law firm, Charles Lucas & Marshall, explains why it pays to use a lawyer in commercial disputes.
Many businesses are reluctant to instruct solicitors in commercial disputes because they are concerned about the financial implications. Increasingly businesses are resorting to DIY litigation which often costs them more in the long run. This is because people underestimate just how much work is involved running a civil action and how complicated matters can become.
Here are a few examples of the advantages of using a lawyer to represent you in disputes of a certain size:
Stating your Case: At the outset of any commercial litigation, each party will be required to state their case in pleadings. Quite often litigants in person struggle to set out their position clearly. This results from ignorance of the law and / or lack of expertise and experience in legal drafting. In many cases the judge will have already formed a view based on the paperwork alone before the trial has even begun. A defendant may have the best defence in the world, but if his statement of case goes on for pages, is poorly structured and fails to adequately explain why the claimant is wrong, he has already shot himself in the foot.
Procedural Matters: The rules that govern how the civil court system operates are set out in the Civil Procedures Rules. It follows that if a litigant in person is up against an opponent solicitor or barrister well versed in procedural matters he can easily become unstuck and feel intimidated. Cost penalties might result from failure to comply properly with court directions.
Objectivity: It is all too easy to become emotionally embroiled in a commercial dispute. Whether the dispute in question involves a debt, or a claim for damages, businesses of all sizes resent having to chase payment. Hard feelings can result from the breakdown of any business relationship, which can cloud judgement. A competent lawyer should be able to take an impartial view of prospects, determine the commercial reality of the situation and advise his client accordingly.
Technical Expertise: Whilst the Internet contains a wealth of information about the law, there is no substitute for a proper training and experience. Commercial litigation can and often does result from the most basic of disputes. However, the potential for complicated legal issues to arise out of what appear to be the simplest of circumstances should not be underestimated.
Getting the Best Result: One of the most challenging aspects of litigation is addressing the issue of remedy. The legal principles in a claim for damages (as opposed to a simple debt claim) need to be fully considered before calculating the likely value of any claim. Although the tendency for the uninitiated is to over-value claims (which will not impress the court), in some circumstances litigants will find themselves claiming a sum of money less than their proper entitlement.
Generally, solicitors are keen to promote to their clients the benefits of trying to settle. Doing so is preferable to bearing the litigation risks and expense of trial. If by seeking legal representation a dispute settles in the early stages of litigation costs might be kept to a manageable level.

Case Report on Human Rights / Employment Law Issues: Eweida and Others v the United Kingdom (judgment 15 January 2013)
Case Report on Human Rights / Employment Law Issues: Eweida and Others v the United Kingdom (judgment 15 January 2013)
We live in an age in which the principles of diversity and equality are supposedly held sacred. The European Convention on Human Rights requires the UK to uphold basic human rights and at the same time prevent certain classes of people (e.g. religious groups) suffering discrimination. Domestic legislation also promotes equality in the workplace. Difficulties arise when certain members of religious groups claim exemptions from rules imposed upon them by their employment on the basis that those rules offend their religious beliefs. Often the right to express those religious beliefs will need to be balanced against competing considerations.
In Eweida and Others -v- the UK the European Court of Human Rights had to decide whether domestic UK law had failed to protect the applicants' right to religious freedom. There were four applicants in this case and their complaints arose out of their employment:
1. Ms Eweida had, for a period, remained away from work whilst her employer, British Airways PLC, prevented her from displaying a cross on her necklace whilst performing a customer facing role. Following media pressure, British Airways PLC soon reversed this policy, but Ms Eweida was not paid salary for her time off. The UK courts had declined to uphold Ms Eweida's claim for indirect discrimination.
2. Ms Chaplin's complaint also related to her employer's refusal to permit her to display a cross whilst performing nursing duties. Ms Chaplin's was employed by a health authority, which had argued its defence successfully on the basis that its decision was justified by health and safety considerations.
3. Ms Ladele was employed by the London Borough of Islington as a Register of Births, Marriages and Deaths. This applicant was demoted after refusing to officiate at ceremonies involving two people of the same sex when the law was changed to allow civil partnerships. Ms Ladele's objection to doing so was influenced by her religious belief that same-sex civil partnerships were contrary to God's law. Her claim for indirect discrimination had been unsuccessful in the UK courts because her right to religious freedom could not override the local authority's duty to its homosexual community.
4. Mr McFarlane was dismissed from his job with a counselling service provider due to concerns he had expressed in relation to providing psycho-sexual therapy to same sex couples (on religious grounds). Again the UK courts had found for the employer, which had been entitled to refuse to accommodate Mr McFarlane's religious views where they had contradicted its Equal Opportunities Policy.
It is clear from its judgment that the European Court of Human Rights had to weigh up various considerations in deciding this case. In the second complaint above, one of the principle issues was whether it was right that health and safety considerations had taken priority over the applicant's right to display a cross (which the Court decided had been a valid manifestation of Ms Chaplin's faith). In the third and fourth complaints above, the competing considerations were rights enshrined within the Convention itself: the right for certain classes of people (here homosexual people) to be treated fairly and equally.
In all but the first complaint, the European Court of Human Rights dismissed the applicants' claims for violation of their human rights. It is submitted that Ms Eweida's complaint may have had better prospects of success, because here the competing consideration had been the preservation of British Airway's corporate image, which the Court might have viewed as rather less important than principles of health and safety / sexual orientation rights. The Court decided that when balancing "competing rights" national authorities should be permitted a margin of appreciation. That margin had not been exceeded in the remaining three complaints.
The outcome of this case might be viewed as a victory for employers concerned about staff members flouting the rules on the basis of religious freedom. Nevertheless, employers need to tread carefully around issues of religious sensibility. In some cases an employer will be able to justify discriminatory treatment by showing that its actions were "a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim". Otherwise, religious groups are going to be keen to capitalise on the Eweida decision to crack down on religious intolerance by employers.

Are Associates Self-Employed?
The dental industry treats Associates as self-employed freeing the employer dentists from much employment legislation and responsibility for tax and pay as you earn. The position also seems to have been accepted by HMRC. That is not a problem where the Associate is working for more than one dentist. Such Associate is self-employed.
But what if and there is always a "what if" the Associate is working only for one dentist either full time or on a part time basis? That scenario has always seemed to me to mean that the Associate is employed. That is whether or not the Associate is working under a BDA Contract. If the Associate is an employee, then the employer dentist becomes caught by employment legislation including such things as unfair dismissal or redundancy and has liability for the payment of the tax on the earnings of the Associate and the payment of NI contributions.
There is also a hidden problem when the dentist sells his business. The warranties which are incorporated in any Sale and Purchase Agreement refer to employees from which Associates are excluded. "So what?" you may ask, to which I answer "the warranties are placed in a Sale and Purchase Agreement so that if they are inaccurate the purchaser can claim damages against the selling dentist". Even if the selling dentist's solicitors knows his job and limits such liability under warranties, claims can arise. The selling dentist does not want to find that he thought his sale proceeds would enable him to sail into the sunset but because of a warranty claim resulting in damages instead of sailing into the sunset he can only afford a small rowboat and has to row into the sunset.
Why am I raising this now? Because I have heard that HMRC are about to start investigations into dentists in Northern Ireland as to whether Associates are Associates or employees. It is amazing what the Government will do to find cash. If Northern Ireland is to go under the microscope then the rest of the UK is sure to follow.

Hi all,
I have a 2003 Subaru Legacy sedan. My check engine light just popped on this afternoon driving home from work. I got it home and popped open the hood - only to see a small mouse crawl out from my air filter tube. We both scared each other but he ran away to another unknown place in the engine. I noticed the black covering on the inside of my hood has a large section gnawed off. And when I shined a flashlight down into the air filter tube I saw a bunch of debris which I tried to scoop out. I crammed some steel wool to keep him from going back in there at least for the night (I'll take it out in the morning before I go to work) and I've got an appointment with my mechanic tomorrow -- hopefully the little bugger hasn't done too much damage with the wires or anything. I don't think the mouse has been inside my car - no signs of any droppings or "stolen" or gnawed items. Has anyone had any experience with this issue? Any ideas on how to keep them from getting back in permanently? I've read about maybe putting mesh covers over some areas - which areas does that work best for? I live in a wooded area and don't have a garage, and it's a pretty cold winter right now, so I'm sure the mice are just looking for a nice warm spot and will probably move right back in if I don't permanently fix the situation. Thanks for any ideas!

Advanced Research Lithium Arginate with Aspartate - 100 Tablets
Advanced Research Lithium Arginate with Aspartate is a quality health care supplement product formulated by Hans A. Nieper, M.D. The prescription drug lithium is a mineral with antidepressant and antimanic actions. It is used to treat bipolar disorder (manic-depression) and severe depression. Lithium is a trace mineral found in the earth's crust The medical field refines this crust to produce lithium arginate. It is most often known for its use in manic-depressant syndromes, but did you know that it is also used for treating ADD, epilepsy, alcoholism, drug withdrawal, kidney stones and migraine headaches? Some research shows that it may also be effective in treating malignant lymphatic growths, arteriosclerosis and chronic hepatitis.
Dr. Hans A Nieper has achieved (during his lifetime) International acclaim in Science, Medicine and Technology. As reported in several International Journals, Dr. Nieper is truly one of the greatest luminaries of this century. In addition to his research, theories and promulgation of vacuum/space field Tachyon physics and technologies (Telsa), he was the President of the International Association of Space Field Energy Scientists.
In Medicine, his discoveries of various "metabolic substances" orotates, aspartates, arginates and AEP compounds, which are necessary in cell metabolism, resulted in great demands for his lectures including the World Health Organization's Cancer Symposium and adoption of various Government Medical Authorities (in Germany) of several of his successful "Non-Toxic" Medical protocols. Dr. Nieper was also the President of the German Oncology Society.
Advanced Research nutritional supplements are the progression of Dr. Nieper's commitment to metabolic therapies in harmony with nature. They painstakingly research each raw ingredient to assure that the highest potency, most assimilable materials are used and that they meet Dr. Nieper's Standard of excellence. All their products are then scientifically formulated and meticulously manufactured.

Low Birth Weight Linked To Autism
January 20, 2012 by UPI - United Press International, Inc.
EVANSTON, Ill., Jan. 20 (UPI) — Low birth weight is an important environmental factor contributing to the risk of autism spectrum disorder, U.S. researchers say.
"Our study of discordant twins — twin pairs in which only one twin was affected by autism spectrum disorder — found birth weight to be a very strong predictor of autism spectrum disorder," lead author Molly Losh of Northwestern University said in a statement.
Prior studies showed when one identical twin had autism spectrum disorder, the other twin was much more likely to have autism spectrum disorder as well.
"Because identical twins share virtually 100 percent of their genes, this is strong evidence for the role of genetics in autism," said Losh. "Yet it is not 100 percent the case that autism spectrum disorder affects both identical twins in a twin pair."
When only one twin is affected by autism spectrum disorder in some identical twin pairs, this suggests environmental factors may play a role, either independently or in interaction with autism risk genes, Losh said.
"And because autism is a developmental disorder impacting brain development early on, it suggests that prenatal and perinatal environmental factors may be of particular importance," she said.
The findings are published in the journal Psychological Medicine.

An Uphill Push
But today's story isn't about my four-year-old – it's about her 10-year-old brother, who looks forward to his sister's ballet lessons just as much as she does.
That's because when my wife drives our daughter to her late-afternoon ballet lessons in Salinas, she drops my son off with me, and we unload two mountain bikes from our cars. (My middle child, to her dismay, has to go and watch the ballet lesson. Don't feel bad for her, though – other days of the week are juggled around her schedule. By the way ... isn't parenting fun?) My son and I then spend the remainder of the day riding the trails and enjoying some precious one-on-one time.
Over the course of several months, he's developed into a somewhat decent rider: our five-mile rides have stretched out to eight or nine; our cruising speed has become noticeably faster; and our once-maddeningly frequent rest breaks have become much less common.
The most noticeable change is how our short, gentle hills have become steeper, more challenging climbs. His improved climbing skills offer a two-fold benefit for my son: it gives us access to about 10 times as many trails as before, and it increases his chances of encountering some "real" mountain bikers using the same trails, most of whom never fail to shout some encouragement to a 10-year-old kid working his way up a large hill. (It also has an obvious health benefit, but I'm not going to ruin his fun by reminding him that he's exercising.)
Nevertheless, there are numerous climbs that are still too steep for him to climb all at once. In most cases, we'll stop for a brief rest, then resume the climb from the same spot. However, on some slopes, he's forced to dismount and walk his bike up the steepest portions, which for obvious reasons has become his least favorite part of bike riding.
In these moments, I know the activity isn't fun for him, and I try to think of ways to keep him from getting discouraged. I tell him that I had to walk a lot of hills when I first started riding, and that there are still some hills I'd have to walk even if I was trying my hardest (although, in my defense, my mountain bike only has four usable gears – but that's another story), and that even the best riders have to get off and walk sometimes. Later, as we drive home after each ride, I find myself hoping that he either remembers the fun parts more than the difficult ones, or understands that the hard stretches are what make the good ones possible. I'm never really sure if the lessons sink in, though.
That's why I was glad to find an outstanding video from the New York Times: a profile of Dave Wiens, the defending champion of the Leadville 100 MTB Race. The video (and its companion print article) describes Wiens's training and race strategy in preparation for facing a certain 7-time Tour De France winner who decided to drop in on the 2008 Leadville race.
The entire video is time well-spent (but, sadly, is not embeddable – I'll link to it below) – but the revelation that immediately captured my attention comes briefly at the 3:07 mark, and again from 3:15-3:22. It was impressive enough for me to call my son over to the computer, and start the following exchange:
Me: You know who that is, right?
Son: Is it Lance Armstrong?
Me: Yeah. See what he's doing?
Son: Pushing his bike up the hill.
Me: Yup. This is in the middle of a race. And these are two of the best riders in the world. I told you it happens to everybody.
Son: Whoa.
I didn't bother explaining that this particular scene probably took place at an elevation close to 12,000', or that it was something like 80 miles into one of the most demanding off-road cycling events imaginable. For that matter, I didn't even tell him that Armstrong lost the race, as Wiens pulled away with about 15 miles to go to claim the victory. In this case, the details are superfluous; the important thing was that my son saw Lance Armstrong pushing his bike up a hill.
I honestly don't know if this little pearl of insight made any impression upon my son, or reassured him about his own struggles on the bike, or encouraged him to approach our major climbs with a different mindset - all I know is that he wants to go riding again this week. I figure that as long as we keep doing one ride after another, and one hill after another, the larger lessons will eventually fall into place.

Tomorrow is International Literacy Day and rather than give you statistics and facts, I thought I would get a little personal with the topic.
The moment is deeply etched in my brain. I was home for Christmas break one year and I was driving somewhere with my Dad. Several times in the course of our conversation, he kept mentioning a class he was taking. I had never known my father to take a class and I finally asked him if it was something for work. As a maintenance worker for a large hospital, I figured there might be training or safety classes that were be required. He said, "No, it's not for work. I am going to classes to learn how to read." He told me he was so proud that I finished college and was going on to grad school and he wanted to make me proud of him. It was like having the wind knocked out of me. That my father who was in his 50s at the time could not read had never crossed my mind. This giant of a man who was so strong and could fix anything had carried this secret for close to 40 years.
My dad was born and raised in a coal mining camp in Bell County, Kentucky. He left school when he was 13 to work for the mining company and help his family. By age 15 he left home and moved to Ohio to find work so that he didn't have to spend his life digging coal like his father. He never had time to get an education, and because he probably had an undiagnosed learning/visual processing disorder, his skills were well below the 7th grade level he completed.
In hindsight, of course, I can see clues that pointed to my Dad's inability to read. My parents divorced when I was young so I didn't live with my Dad which made it more possible to go unnoticed. When I was little and crawled up on his lap with a book and asked him to read, he always said, "Why don't you read it to me". I guess I thought he was trying to help me read, and in some ways, he did. And he was always "forgetting his glasses" when we were at a restaurant and asking me to find things on the menu for him.
I can't imagine how scary it must have been for him. I think he worked twice as hard at his job for fear that he couldn't find another without being able to read. My mother and his new wife helped him to fill out applications and insurance forms, but they never said a word to me about it. So, after years of embarrassment and shame, my father took the brave step of signing up with an adult literacy program. He spent a couple of years working with a tutor to complete the program. His job was demanding and he sometimes worked 80 hour weeks, but he never gave up on getting his certificate.
When he finally finished, he invited me to attend the dinner and certificate ceremony. He said I was the one that inspired him and he wanted me to be there. I met his tutor who was a wonderful woman. She said my dad may not be the best student in the world, but he was the hardest working one she had ever met.
My dad is not a "sit down and read a novel" kind of guy. He would much rather be outside or fixing something in his garage, but now he can read a menu, signs or assembly instructions (although he usually doesn't bother). I am so proud that he chose to take the risk.

Total Film caught up with Stephen Fry on the set of Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, and he let slip a few details about his character. Fry is joining Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law in the sequel to Guy Ritchie's smash-hit Arthur Conan Doyle revival."I play Mycroft," Fry told us. "He's Holmes's smarter brother, but he's so lazy, he never gets the reputation that Sherlock does. "It's a very interesting character and fun to play, especially as I've been a Sherlock Holmes fan since I was a boy."

Sherlock Holmes' second big screen adventure isn't out until the tail end of this year, but Holmes newbie Jared Harris just can't contain his excitement about the film. The Mad Men star, who bagged the coveted role of legendary villain Professor Moriarty in Sherlock Holmes 2, has spoken to MTV about the period sequel, revealing "it's great fun".
"There's some fisticuffs," he says. "It's great fun. It's sort of like the story kind of starts a lot faster than the last one, almost like you're coming in the third act of the story almost."

The Amazing Spider-Man got a brand new title only yesterday – so why not Sherlock Holmes 2, as well? The official title to Guy Ritchie's period follow-up has been revealed as the very mysterious, number-less Sherlock Holmes: A Game Of Shadows.What that has to do with the plot itself is beyond us, though it's just as ambiguous as any of the titles dreamed up by Arthur Conan Doyle (The Signs Of The Four…). All we know about the story for Game Of Shadows so far is that it reunites Holmes and his trusted associate Watson as they finally battle arch nemesis Professor Moriarity – with the help of Holmes' brother Mycroft.

Have you made this pattern?
Share with the Craftsy community.
Point Judith Shawl is named for one of my favorite places: the fishing village of Point Judith in Rhode Island . The shawls are a celebration of handpainted yarn. Version one is shown in a short color burst handpaint and features a garter stitch start, followed by a decorated ripple pattern. Version 2 varies the appearance with a medium color change yarn and a solid contrast color start and finish. Version 3 revels in long length color change yarn by omitting the garter start; the ripple pattern begins with the first row. The shawls have a center panel which echoes the design motif.

L-A: So, actually, I own one and I wear it sometimes, but I feel like it's not quite right. It wore it Saturday night and was getting the feeling that it wasn't right. (I call it a "denim jacket" because "jean jacket" gives me flashbacks to the 80s and not in a good way. More on that later). And then I get this picture in the email from Raven Denim and now I KNOW my denim jacket isn't right.
The problem with my jacket is definitely one of the following:
1. It didn't cost $228.*
2. It doesn't come with a bonus George Clooney.
3. The fit all bulk and shit.
4. All of the above.
Answer 4 would technically be correct, as my jacket is from Old Navy and I don't have my own George Clooney. So 3 is the actual problem.
*while initially that much for a jean jacket seems crazy bananapants, I wonder if it is one of those things that will last forever and economies of scale** or whatever start to come into play and it eventually is worth it. Because my $30 Old Navy jacket is still kicking, so would a $200 jacket last as long, but look better longer?
** it should be noted I didn't bother to finish taking economics and therefore have no clue if that is a correct economic term to use here.
So, much like when I asked about where do folks get the bitchin' leather jackets, I need to know where everyone get s a good denim jacket? Because I feel I need to make that happen for me again and an oversized one just isn't going to cut it. Not unless I want to bring the 80s back.
And no matter what Urban Outfitters says, that isn't okay. Sometimes, you just can't make fetch happen.
And even though I'm totally going to mention this again on Friday, I'm having feelings about one of my favourite writers dying last night, and since I actually wrote this last night, I'm currently having the feelings of just learning that the person who brought me one of my favourite movie lines of all time just died:
And I don't do favourite quotes, but thanks to Nora Ephron, I guess I do.
10 Responses to Want/Need: A Denim Jacket
Danielle says:
I actually think $200 might be ok for a really good quality, well fitted denim jacket. I've have a Gap one from the mid 90s that I still wear all the time. A demin jacket is a classic. I don't know much about economics either but the cost per wear over time would make it justifiable.
Also, the Nora Ephron news is so sad. Her movies were great.
la says:
I sometimes justify purchases by figuring out that if I wear them x times, they'll only cost me pennies a day. At least that's how I justified spending $200 on a whim for a black dress last fall.
I feel like if I had one that fit better, I'd wear it more. The Old Navy one just doesn't have the right fit.
Intern Krista says:
I justify stuff like this all the time. Go for it.
la says:
Ah, but here's the catch: finding the right fit for me. Because I am no Stacy Keibler.(although, to be honest, I still have no idea what a Stacy Keibler is, other than the pretty wife of Clooney).
la says:
This means the search is on for a new jacket.
Claire says:
I can't help with the Clooney, but … to echo the Empire of Gap, I have a fitted (read: kind of small otherwise, but it has stretch, so it works), dark wash from the E of G that I found at the Frenchy's on Almon. There are so many jean jackets in the vintage stores in this town that I would save the big $ for something else … That being said, I wear it all the time – especially with skirts & sundresses in this town (where summer comes in August), so …
la says:
I'm hoping to do some serious Frenchy's shopping out of town this summer. And I'm totally not opposed to the Empire of Gap for such things – the only reason I'm giving up on the Old Navy one is because it's just a bit too big (probably because I have lost weight since I bought it almost 8 years ago).
Meghan says:
I echo that, mine is from Gap, about 10 years old and I wear it all summer with dresses so the pockets come in handy. The ecocomics term you're looking for is amortization, that's when you divide the cost over the useful lifettime. A very important skill for all shoppers :)
Meghan says:
Too bad I can't spell economics.
la says:
Also – thank you for the economics term! I knew how it worked, but not what it was called. Economics was never my jam.
I wore mine with a cute summer dress the other night. It looked okay, which means if it had been a better fitting jacket, it would have looked awesome.

Melts easy, very high smoking point so great for all cooking methods, brilliant fat profile. Use as cooking agent, alternative to milk/cream in teas and coffees, even high quality ingredient for asian cuisine or as quick energy boost. Wouldn't recommend as a spread/butter alternative as it's too bland.Goes Well With:Your liver and arteries.
Great tasting product also goes a long way had this for about a fortnight and barely made a dent in the amount. Great source of saturated fat perfect to cook with and will continue to keep buying this product.
Great tasting coconut oil and really good value Great for making protein pancakes And putting on rice , oats ,and over sweet potatos Will buy again many thanks
Amazing product! I use coconut oil daily, fry food in it, put in my coffee etc, and I will definitely buy this again! The only issue I have with this is not the product, but the packaging. There is a metal film to peel back on opening, and I couldn't seem to get this off the edge on top of the tub. This is a problem because I sometimes want my coconut oil melted so I microwave the tub to melt it. Can't do that with metal still on the tub. I will buy this product again regardless, because coconut oil is so epic, and the packaging doesn't really affect the product. I'm just being picky. ;)Goes Well With:Coffee!
Tastes and smells great. Needs to be melted in boiling water if you want to add it to a shake. Good for cooking too. Another great product from MP.Goes Well With:Whey shakes
way better than coconut fat from the supermarket. its virgin OIL. taste is great! coconutty. chicken fried in this is heavenly Goes Well With:chicken :)
Smooth clean taste. Excellent to cook with as an alternative to normal oils. Healthy and tastes great!Goes Well With:Stir fry, great for making low carb, healthy desserts.
I use this coconut oil as part of my diet plan and it goes very well in cooking. I have a spoonful goes in my porridge every morning and in a muffin mix. Goes Well With:Porridge, cake mix and cooking.

This is the best coconut butter I've found. Tastes great, brilliant in both sweet and savoury cooking.Goes Well With:Thai curries and baking

April 1st, 2011
Each year the School of Graduate Studies hosts a special lecture named after the first dean of Graduate Studies. This week, for the 2011 Fred Aldrich Interdisciplinary Lecture, we had invited Ken Steele, Higher Ed marketing guru and creator of a widely read daily Top Ten list. If you have a pulse and are interested in university scene, then you are a loyal subscriber. It appears in my inbox each day before sunrise.
Ken's shtick is trends. Everyone is interested in hearing data about the world we work in and so it is no surprise that a good house turned out to hear what he had to say. Ken admitted to us that he is more accustomed to painting a broader picture of Higher Ed than the one we asked him to draw—that is, a picture of graduate studies, in particular. But he was able to weave his material, at last in part, into the focus we had asked of him.
And talk about weaving…. Ken's lecture was one of the most lively power point presentations I've ever seen. It was, indeed, a model of marrying content to the visual. Not only were his slides colourful and often amusing but they were highly animated, kinetic and therefore entertaining and seductive. Because so much of what Ken has to say is about the millennials and their active tech-dependent learning, acquiring, and consuming habits, that's a good thing. The implicit message he at once offered and demonstrated is that lecturing, good old-fashioned by-the-notes-by-the-podium lecturing, is dead. Profs who use technology to extend the classroom experience, to allow for more interactivity, posting of discussions, lecture notes, and useful links to relevant sources and videos are hip to the new model of teaching. Technology has effectively removed the need for cavernous lecture halls. Why, Ken asked, would a student choose to sit in a 1000-person hall when she could get the notes on line, possibly watch the lecture on her computer from the comfort of her own room—at any time convenient for her during the week? The satisfaction quotient in such hybrid or digital component courses is proving to be way higher than the old model, and that fact alone is shaking up all our old assumptions about how we should be teaching and learning.
Memorial is engaged in a concentrated, widely consultative teaching and learning planning process, and you can bet that the recommendations following this exercise will reflect the kind of things Ken told us about trend lines. Memorial is already well ahead of many universities in this country in terms of its so-called distant learning technologies, but it was humbling to hear so forcefully about tomorrows—no, today's—student expects from a course, any course.
As we consider how best to refit our buildings and create new spaces for learning, teaching, and research, we would do well to keep the message of Ken's Aldrich lecture in mind. We will need many more common areas, smart classrooms, widely wired campuses, and, ironically enough, environments much more in line with what our libraries have already become—a commons, not a set of confined spaces. Once the most traditional, cloistered buildings at the heart of our campuses, university libraries have become models of shared spaces. Today they are open, learning environments that look out on the world as much as they invite introspection. Most of our classrooms and the way we conduct our undergraduate teaching has a long way to go.
Arguably, on-campus graduate seminars, by definition small and intimate, will always depend in some measure on the close interaction of the in-person conversation. For many of us, that's where the sparks of imagination and curiosity first really flew. But by all accounts, that cocoon will also metamorphosize into some new form. Resistance, as the millennials know better than any of us, is futile.
Dr. Noreen Golfman is Professor of English and Dean of Graduate Studies. Her post secondary education included study at McGill, University of Alberta, and University of Western Ontario. She has been teaching and writing in the areas of Canadian literature and film studies for most of her career. She is the president of the Canadian Federation of Humanities and Social Sciences, founding director of the annual St. John's International Women's Film Festival, and director of the MUN Cinema Series. Dr. Golfman's blog 'Postcards From the Edge' will be updated every Thursday.

How much does a plumber charge to come unclog a drain?By
I think that there is a sock or something clogging my sink drain. All chemical drain clearing products have not worked. Does anyone know how much it costs to have a plumber come to your house and fix this problem?? Better yet, does anyone know how to fix this problem??
15 Comments
about 70 dollars per hour flat rate.
Go to home depot and buy a drain snake and do it your self.
Then use the drain cleaner to flush out what is left.
I paid more than 200$ and that was 10years ago!
i dont knoe but i heard they make good money so that means it costs lots, so probably around $20 an hour
I will clean your pipes for free
Hiring a plumber may be expensive but check out this Do It Yourself site. (Shown Below)
It depends where you live. I recently had a bad clog in my shower drain that I could not fix on my own and my plumber charged me $117 for his services. I am in the NY metro area though so everything is expensive.
This one time, this plumber unblocked a certain drain but it wasn't inanimate; in fact it was attached to his person.
call a roto-rooter instead.
BE VERY VERY CAREFUL doing it yourself. The acid from the stuff you put in the drain can build up pressure and when you open the pipes they can spray acid on your face/eyes. That is the #1 thing plumbers are cautious about.
You don't need a plumber, you need a drain cleaner; roto-rooter, ask for the price before work begins, and about the guaranty, usually 65-70.
CLR Power Plumber – compressed air in a can. I've used it several times and it has always unclogged the drain. It is available at Ace Hardware stores.
TOO MUCH! Do it your self. Go to Home Depot and ask what you should do. You can even rent the equipment that a plumber would use; a snake. They can show you how to use it too and it won't cost you 40-80hr!
I am wondering how a sock could get down a small hole?
Nonetheless – Wal-Mart sell a product in their plumbing department called Main Line Cleaner @ $10/ gallon
have used it on sinks, bath tub, and even put a quart down the
rain gutter – and it cleared that!
works overnight – flush with hot water
all the best !
If you are handy around the house I would try to fix it yourself, plumbers can run between $70 to$90 per hr. Turn off the water to your house(There will be a spot in your yard that had a cover on it. Usually by the sidewalks) Look under your sink and just take off the pipe off to your sink. It will look somewhat like a "U"shape. (see pic below) See if it is cleared out. If it is not then you will need to call the plumber
You could also try taking a toliet plunger and plunging the sink to see if that clears anything up….I just dont see how a sock would fit down your sink drain
As for as how much it all depends where you live. Anywhere from fifty to ninety an hour. Maybe you can fix it yourself if it is just a sock. If the water backs up as soon as you put it in than you can probally take the p-trap apart under the sink. If it takes awhile to back up you'll have to spring for a plumber.Good luck.
I just had this done yesterday and paid $75.00. I live in the midwest, NW Ohio.
I did not use a plumber but selected a small company that specializes in drain cleaning.
He used a 'snake' and went directly into the sink with it. took less than 15 minutes. The drain now works fine.
