Never Have Another Junk Food Craving. Ever.
Hitting those late-night ice cream binges hard? Regularly polish off 10-too-many chocolate chip cookies? Here's why
It seems impossible that any of us would have a sodium deficiency considering there's salt in almost everything we eat. But Paul C. Eck, founder of Analytical Research Laboratories, says that table salt is stripped of the healthy minerals we need.
To fix this problem, he recommends using natural sea salt whenever you can (it's less refined than table salt). You should also boost your intake of manganese (found in leafy greens and berries), and vitamins B1, B5, C, and E, since all of these nutrients can help with sodium retention.

theory... but a lot of the replacement foods and nutrients are slow-working. let's admit that sometimes when we crave chocolate, it's CHOCOLATE that we want

I want to apply a symbology scheme for the final layer of my model. Rules are -
All negative - Symbol A
0 - Symbol B
All positive symbol C
unknown - symbol D
I am not sure how I can define these intervals under Classification of Layer Properties. The minimum and maximum can vary since it will be used in a model. I tried to define manually (among other options - defined, standard deviation...etc.) but it worked only for that sample and failed for another example. I am using 'Apply Symbology from Layer' to display the model output finally.

Let $X$ be some set and $\Omega = \prod\limits_{i=0}^\infty X$, so that any element in $\Omega$ can be written as $$ \omega= (\omega_0,\omega_1,\dots) $$ where $\omega_i\in X$, $i \geq 0$. Given $A\subset X$ I wonder what is the right notation for the set $$ A_0 = \{\omega\in \Omega: \omega_0\in A\} $$ I think, the most formal is to write $A_0 = A\times \prod\limits_{i=1}^\infty X$, but I wonder if I can write $A_0 = A\times \Omega$?
I have doubts because if the second notation is formal, then it should mean that $\Omega = X\times \Omega$ - and I am not sure if the latter is correct.

Hi guys,
cause it took a long time to download 32GB Sandisk ExtremePro NEF (Raw) data with USB 2.0, I decided to get the Lexar CompactFlash Reader (Firewire 800).
Recieved it last friday, and the performance is amazing. It is really worth the around 60.
So now I do not download from the camera, for CF cards I use the Lexar instead.
Just for those who might be insterested.

How practical are anomaly based web application firewall in mitigating web based attacks ? Which types of threats do they mitigate against and which don't they? Are their any practical implementation of them.
Check ModSecurity - it's quite decent approach, it does include anomaly as well collective scoring system. You can have a look at Core Rules, there are anomaly entries too. You just load Core Rules to ModSecurity, and there you go, all you need is to test applications and eventually delete, add, modify some rules.
Anomaly entries protect mainly from automated bots or other suspicious clients doing very unsual requests. Without rules made for specific applications (there are rules for popular cmses), what it does prevent is eg requesting web content with non-standard set of headers.
When there are rules for specific applications, it prevents some requests which are not typical for specific application, however how this specifically works and to what level you would need to have a look at Core Rules.
These rules are not some super-specific, but they have more practical approach the way that with no big philosophy they just score anomalies based on rules, and it requires a lot of tuning and changing to get this to work with any specific app, so basically it does what is in the rules, plus what you can do yourself.
They don't protect from bad words, but that's easy to add, they also don't protect from well obfuscated and designed attacks.
Here is a list of protections from Core Rules, which are part of ModSecurity:
ModSecurity is used in vast space of Internet - for example, Akamai, the biggest CDN has this installed on many servers, since they integrated it / or somewhat forked it to their own software. This is because it is cloud friendly - anomaly detection which is collective based - the information comes from several servers, hence it detects anomalies which are geographically distributed between your own servers.
Try checking Big-IP from F5... used by Facebook, BoA and other companies..
It is the ASM (Application Security Manager) that handles the web attack protection... http://www.f5.com/products/big-ip/

Right click "Save as…"
Statistical data analysis is a key part of the operations of just about every business today. But as data sets get larger, analyzing trends or generating predictions becomes more and more of a challenge. If you're doing predictive modeling today and find that you can no longer use all of your data because of size limitations, or the computations are taking too long for you to take action on the results, then the parallel-processing capabilities of Microsoft HPC Server can help. In this webinar, we'll introduce the R language for statistical computing, and show how the easy-to-use parallel programming capabilities of REvolution R Enterprise work with a HPC cluster to cut processing times by an order of magnitude or more. We'll give practical examples of how to speed up many kinds of analytic computations, from simple summary statistics to cutting-edge tools like ensemble predictive models.

After upgrading to 12.10, I see no side bar or top bar. If I do unity restart, then Compiz crashes (I get a window telling me that and I can send an error report).
I have ATI mobility Radeon 2400 and I have uninstalled the "fg-something" extra drivers (because I had the same problems with that installed).
Also, in case it's related, the display resolution is no longer set to the native resolution of the screen.
How can I get the launcher and top bar to load properly at startup?

I also chose The Fan as my ugly but, as mentionned in the podcast, I felt that it fell mostly flat and that De Niro was mugging. The fact that it wants us to empathize with his character is a mjor failing. I also felt that Tony wanted to ape Scorsese by using De Niro in a psycho role and by putting The Rolling Stones all over the soundtrack.
mavrach wrote:Good: True Romance - I've always felt this to be a great crime thriller that's both fun and dangerous at the same time. It juggles a lot of characters, many which are only briefly onscreen, even for a single scene, but are still hugely memorable. Brad Pitt's tiny role as Floyd might be the funniest thing he's ever done, and Gary Oldman's performance as Drexl makes me wish he lived through the whole movie. I get Steve's "bleeding cool syndrome," but in while that does apply here, I think it comes off as being genuinely cool. But I've loved just about everything that Tarantino has touched so that's my personal tastes.
I agree that this movie feels very different from the rest of Tony Scott's work. Actualy this officially is in the same canon as the rest of Tarantino's universe. In Reservoir Dogs, Harvey Keitel reminisces about a girl named "Alabama." If I had to pick a "real" Tony Scott flick that would be The Last Boy Scout.
On a personal note, we used the True Romance theme song during our wedding ceremony. It played while we were taking the vows. So yeah I love this one
Bad: Man on Fire - One of Scott's better movies, but it's pace suffers from being overly long, especially during its first act. If it were a little leaner & meaner I think it would've been a great improvement on a movie that's already pretty awesome.
Ugly: I'm having a hard time coming up with a specific Bad for Tony Scott. Going through his filmography, he's got a few that I used to love as a kid then just never watched again after age 15: Days of Thunder, Top Gun, Beverly Hills Cop II, Crimson Tide.
Then he as a few that I watched once when they first came out and never bothered returning to: The Fan, Enemy of the State. Spygame actually falls into this category for me, but your raving about it makes me want to retry it. I saw The Hunger a few years ago and didn't care for it. Domino is here too.
And why don't they leave Ethan Suplee aloooone??? Heh, if you want to see him in his true form, check out Evolution when he plays a straight F student who out of nowhere coughs up a perfect source of selenium sulfide.

Also, since the Verdict's podcasts are all lumped together in one section that doesn't separate them by show, any chance a direct link to the podcasts could be added to the first post of each director's listings? This is more for late-comers to "They Came From the North" that are going back through old episodes (which are tougher to spot on the Podcasts section) but also something for new, future podcasts once the link to them disappears from the front page. And no, I'm not on Facebook.

A9 TV, 3 April 2012
It is very important to love our elders. It is also the height of immorality, may Allah forbid, to feel any annoyance on account of their illnesses. To be wearied by them is the height of bad manners, or lack of conscience. One year, two years, ten years or whatever, the longer it goes on, the more merit one earns. Almighty Allah tells us not to even sigh when they reach old age. What is a sigh? It is a sign of weariness. Allah tells us not to even hint at weariness. Even to wear a wearied expression is the worst possible immorality. To put on a frozen face or something. As if one were worn out. For example, it is terribly immoral to huff and puff if they ask you for a drink of water. One must just say, "I will do what you ask," and embrace then with love and affection. Many people die of sorrow, may Allah forbid. He uses sorrow as His instrument. Some people anticipate their old people's dying. You should want them to live, instead. What would you want if it were you? You would want to be taken care of well and nicely. But Allah has entrusted these elderly people to you, so look after them properly.
They have shattered all fervor in Muslims. And people are finished when they have no fervor. They are shattering fervor for the way of the Mahdi, fervor for Islamic Union and fervor for Jesus the Messiah. People are literally paralyzed. They are killing love of Allah. People pray wearily, as if they were drunk, not really aware of what they are doing. They can barely stand, while what they are thinking is, "I wish this prayer would hurry up and come to an end." Like dead people. I look, and there is no joy or fervor in their speech. But when it comes to matters of business they go crazy, wagging their tails like a dog that has seen a bone. That makes them really happy and excited. Compliments and little gestures; "Oh, Mr. Naci, welcome, how lovely to see you..." all that kind of thing, when there is something in it for them. But a Muslim will show affection for Allah's sake. But these people have dark faces all the time, apart from a brief moment of material joy. They may think of that person as money personified. Lovelessness and insincerity wear Muslims down, may Allah forbid. This is very dangerous. We must remind them of these words of Fethullah Hodja and encourage love and affection.
Imagine the excesses to which so many people would go if they were not created weak. Imagine the pride and arrogance in men, and the pride and arrogance in women. You know how a woman puts on airs and looks down her nose at people if she is the slightest bit attractive? Or how a man goes crazy if he has a little money.
Judges should undergo psychological checks. People with the right qualities to be judges should be judges. One must look at their psychological states. A judge must be loving. And well-mannered. You cannot have a rude judge who shouts and gets angry and irritable all the time. How can one talk to a person like that. Judges must be selected using psychological tests, if they are to be appointed.
What a fine system Allah has established. The world is so rich. Had Allah wished, He could have placed us all in paradise. We could have been wandering round the gardens of paradise and eating the food there. But thinking about Allah and His love so enriches us that He makes us feel that way anyway. We come to love Him with a profound passion, masha'Allah. Now that love will grow still further. The coming of the Mahdi (pbuh) and Jesus the Messiah (pbuh) will increase that fervor enormously. But these spiritual leaders and elders are very important. Their agreement for Allah's sake is most important. Sheikh Nazım al-Qubrusi is one, Sheikh Seyyid Salih Ozcan [his student and deputy], to, other masters and spiritual guides, Mahmut Hodja. These are all very valuable. Their like will not come again.
There will be no need for military operation when we have Islamic Union, Turkish-Islamic Union. They will be a deterrent force. For example, what was special about the Prophet Solomon's (pbuh) army? It was a deterrent force. Did the Prophet Solomon (pbuh) shed blood? No. He said he could destroy those opposed to him, and the sight of his power was enough for those opponents. "We had best not get involved. We don't need it. We give in," they would say. Problems will be totally resolved when Turkish-Islamic Union has such a force. Therefore, the best way for Turkey to be powerful in the face of America and Europe is Islamic Union, Turkish-Islamic Union.2012-04-25 14:55:12

Cult cinematic platformer Another World lands on PlayStation platforms next weekWritten by: / / 2 Comments
If you're a fan of cinematic platformers such as Abe's Oddysee and Heart of Darkness then you may have heard of Eric Chahi's cult classic Another World originally released for the Amiga and Atari ST in 1991. The game has now been ported to the PS4, PS3 and PS Vita, and will be released via the PlayStation Store on June 24th in North America and June 25th in PAL territories featuring Cross-Buy and Cross-Save support.
Another World tells the story of a young scientist named Lester who finds himself on a dangerous planet after an experiment goes awry. Lester will have to use a combination of his wits and basic platformer actions such as running, jumping and shooting to survive in this hostile domain.
The PlayStation ports of Another World feature refined animations as well as full HD resolution on PS4 and PS3 to achieve cleaner-looking and more vibrant backgrounds. Furthermore, players can choose between the original or cinematic Sega-CD soundtrack whilst playing the game.
Are you looking forward to checking out Another World when it lands on PlayStation platforms next week? Let us know in the comments.

=== Project Name ===
=== Project Name ===
Maker Mover
Maker Mover
Revision as of 20:31, 19 June 2013
Project Name
Maker Mover
Jarrod Hicks email@example.com
Relocate some of the maker type areas to the areas by the kitchen
What Will Be Done
Move the CAD/CAM tools and work area to where the hacker cafe is. Distribute the Hacker Cafe fuctions elsewhere in the space. Move the Library to the current CAD/CAM area. Move the Sewing area to the current library. Add shelves at the locations of the columns in between the spaces to increase storage. Demolish the "L" shaped counter in the kitchen to open it up and create a better working / eating space within it.
What Areas in the Space Will This Affect
CAD/CAM, Library, Sewing, Cafe
Who Will Be Doing It
Jarrod Hicks, additional volunteers may be recruited during the proposal process.
Why This Will Be Good
This will move some of the louder activites to the louder side of the building. The Sewing and CAD/CAM areas will get better defined areas. The 3D printers will be further from the windows. The library will make good use of an odd space and will benift from increased daylight and quiet. The kitchen will have less dead space.
Why This Will Be Bad
The Hacker cafe gets broken up.
How Long Will It Take
Closing would not be necessary. Building all the shelving will be the longest part. Once the shelving is up the moving would probably be done in a day.
In A Fantastic World, What Extra Budget Would You Like
Funds for plywood and fasteners for the shelves. Sandpaper and Polyurathane. Funds for lumber and plywood to build more desks, if needed.
Are There Any Other PFAs This Would Work Well With
The general ReMakeBaseBootClean project
Are There Any Other PFAs This Would Contradict
None that I am aware of.

I bought a Toshiba laptop with two partitions: C: with Windows 7 and D: with my data. I want Ubuntu 12.04 be installed in D: but when I try the computer shows me C: divided in two parts. If I choose Something else and select /dev/sda3 a message appears: There is not a root file system. What can I do?
Follow the steps
Note: Don't enable downloading of 3rd party apps and update in previous screen. Better don't connect to internet while installing.Good luck. Let us know how it went.
When you install Ubuntu you must define a root file system. This can be done by clicking on 'Edit Partiton' then you can define if and how the partiton is used. You can define how the partition is formatted and how the partition is mounted. At 'mount point' you must choose '/' to define this as the root partiton.

FORT RILEY, Kan. (WIBW) -- Hundreds of Fort Riley soldiers received handmade gifts Wednesday as part of a massive volunteer effort to give back to the troops after a dangerous and deadly year-long deployment to Afghanistan.
One by one, soldiers with the 4th Squadron, 4th Cavalry Regiment, 1st Heavy Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division were given quilts that were hand-stitched by volunteers from across the country.
A group called "Quilts for Valor" handed out more than 500 quilts on Fort Riley's Custer Hill Wednesday afternoon. Volunteer quilters from across Kansas and 18 other states around the country contributed to the project.
"We provide quilts for all military but this is a special group because of the nature of the mission they endured over in Afghanistan. So when we were asked to make quilts to cover every member of the brigade, we said we would. And that's what Quilts of Valor is all about, providing comfort to military families who have been touched by war," said Martha Smith with Quilts of Valor.
"These men and women did incredible. They faced a tough, entrenched Taliban enemy that had been there for many years. The Taliban there fought in places their fathers and grandfathers fought in against the Soviets in the 1980s," said 4-4 Cav's Commander, Lieutenant Colonel Mike Katona.
The squadron, know as the "Pale Riders," had close to 150 soldiers wounded in combat and eight members were killed in action during the deployment, including Staff Sergeant Jamie Jarboe.
Jarboe, 27, died March 12 after succumbing to injuries he received while deployed to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.
A native of Frankfort, Ind., Jarboe served as a team leader with the "Pale Riders" during the unit's recent yearlong deployment to the Zhari District near Kandahar, Afghanistan. While on patrol with his Soldiers, he was struck in the neck by a sniper's bullet.
Severely wounded, he was evacuated to Germany and later to several medical facilities in the U.S., where he underwent more than 100 surgeries. He was left paralyzed from the chest down, but in early March was able to return to his wife's adopted hometown of Topeka to be with his Family.
Soldiers, Family members and friends honored Jarboe's life during a memorial service April 5 at the Morris Hill Chapel.
The "Pale Riders" supported Operation Enduring Freedom as part of Combined Task Force Strike and Combined Task Force Spartan, while partnered with the 2nd Kandak, 3rd Brigade, 205th Corps from the Afghan National Army.
The unit conducted hundreds of combat patrols denying the insurgents freedom to move at will and facilitated the construction of tactical infrastructure. Over the course of deployment: eight new pieces of tactical infrastructure were built, five new roads were cut, and eight air assaults were conducted to separate the insurgents from the population.
The troops destroyed thousands of pounds of homemade explosives, military vests and military grade explosives.
"They stood harms way so that I can be free, so that I can say what I want, feel what I want, do what I want within the law and if it wasn't for them, we wouldn't be the country that we have today," Martha Smith said. She told 13 News that she felt an overwhelming "sense of well being" as she watched the soldiers get their quilts that volunteers spent hours stitching in order to honor the troops' service and bravery.
"It's going to be good to commemorate everything- the deployment, the community caring for us, all of the packages we received and really all of the support we got from the United States and everybody, including family members, friends, community members," said Staff Sergeant Jason Langrehr, a 4-4 Cav soldier.
"It's great for soldiers to know that people all over America, not just in the local area, but all over America are thinking about them and it's something they can see and they can actually use every day for their families to provide them comfort and that's what they need right now," Lieutenant Colonel Katona added.
Members of "Quilts of Valor" said the gifts they made for the soldiers are meant to be lasting reminders that the sacrifices they make do not go unrecognized here at home.
About 80 to 100 Freedom Riders from the local Kansas chapter also attended the event to show their support for the Soldiers.

[Help appreciated] A business degree any use?
Due to family issues, I went ahead and applied at an online university for a business AA degree.
Before this, I went to an arts high school and spent most of my time in the Creative Writing conservatory and it wasn't until recently did I come to the conclusion that I wanted to get a job in the gaming industry.
I'll be honest. I'm not a business person. In fact I regret it, to be honest, but I guess knowing a bit about accounting and the economy is helpful.
I'm a writer, one that has filled dozens of notebooks and word documents with stories and worlds of my own. I live in them, I think of them every day.
I didn't go for a literature degree because most people told me it was useless and that business was more general and that I'd have a wider amount of choices when it came to settling for a job.
It wasn't until recently that I realized I really wanted a job in the gaming industry. I've always been a major gamer ever since I was young and I also saw an appropriate job in a current well-played game which was extremely inspiring and almost perfect (oh, if only I already had several degrees and wasn't this young. It'd be gone by the time I graduate).
Character design. Creating a character, making the lore, expanding the world - I would be extremely content if I were to have a job like this, but I don't even know where to start. Where does such interests lie in? Game production? Programming? What do I do?
Also, another major question would be if it's necessary to learn computer science or not. I don't think I'd really like that. I'm just terrible at math.
I'd really appreciate some advice as this is my dream job.

Don't Smoke! Essay 5
Please use for reference only.
Frances DeMasi Middle School, Marlton, NJ
Last Modified: November 1, 2001
There is something in the world that is hurting us all: DRUGS! One kind of drug that I am going to talk about is the drug found in cigarettes: nicotine. Cigarettes have bad things in them like tobacco and nicotine. Cigarettes can give you black lungs and lung cancer. lung cancer is a kind of cancer that starts from cigars and cigarettes. Lung cancer happens when you smoke. Your lungs get black and your rate of having lung cancer and a heart attack increases when you smoke cigarettes and cigars.
There is another problem with smoking called second-hand smoke. Second-hand smoke is when you breathe in smoke from someone else's cigarette or cigar. If friends or family smoke around you, and you breathe the smoke in, then you have an increased risk of getting cancer.
Some people argue that cigar smoke isn't breathed into their lungs so its not so bad, but they are forgetting about lip, mouth, and tongue cancer. These cancers are caused by cigar, and cigarette smoke. Lips become swollen, infected and you can't taste much.
If your family or friends smoke, here are some ways to get them to quit! Number one, if you are a risk taker, you can take their cigarettes and hide them until they stop smoking. Second, you can buy them gums or patches to help them quit. If these ideas don't work, convince them to go to a doctor and ask for help.
If you would like to know more about drugs and smoking go to your drug officer and don't be afraid to ask questions. If you don't have a drug officer, go to your teacher or library! I hope that you have learned from this not to smoke or do drugs of any kind.

We spent a great weekend in Copenhagen. The rented room at Ulla was very comfortable and clean, the house is located at a very reasonable distance from the center of Copenhagen on foot (about a twenty minute walk).
Nous avons passé une très bon week end à Copenhague. La chambre louée chez Ulla était très confortable et propre, la maison est située à une distance très raisonnable du centre de Copenhague à pied (environs une vingtaine de minute de marche).
A recommander !
We had a fabulous time in Copenhagan. Ulla is delightful and really helpful and the room is really central in a very cosy row of houses with a grocery store and bakery, Italian restaurant on the door step.
Just a note if you are using the smaller train stations in order to visit Elsinor or Luciana, then you get the tickets from the 7/11 shop based in the train station information office is closed.
Everything was within walking distance of Ulla's home. The room was cosy, warm,comfortable and safe and the small kitchen has all you need to prepare breakfast or a small meal. The room is on the third floor, straight up the stairs from the front door so you do not feel like you are intruding on anyone.
We would recommend staying with Ulla and a trip to Copenhagan as the people are very friendly and the city is very relaxing.

We were very satisfied with this accomodation. It was clean and had a nice charm. It was located centrally in close walking distance to CPH city center; supermarkets and bakeries were located nearby. The host was very hospitable and supportive. We very much recommend this offer. Thank you, Ulla!
Ulla has a attentive, very nice hostess! The room is cozy, the bathroom spacious, the kitchen well equipped. We will definitely come again!
Ulla ist eine aufmerksame, sehr nette Gastgeberin! Das Zimmer ist gemütlich eingerichtet, das Badezimmer geräumig, die Küche gut ausgestattet.
Wir werden sicher wieder kommen!
Quiet and fairly central. The house is characteristic and is situated in a delightful way. The room was clean but the third mattress had to be placed on the ground. Also would be better to inform about the fact that the bathroom was in common.
Quartiere tranquillo e abbastanza centrale. La casa è caratteristica ed è situata in una strada deliziosa. La stanza era pulita ma il terzo materasso doveva essere posto a terra. Inoltre sarebbe stato meglio informare sul fatto che il bagno era in comune.
A better place to stay in Copenhagen.
Very central and peaceful.
Ulla is a very nice and good host, and she has given us the privacy and at the same time her trust to be at her place.
We felt just like at home there.
Thanks Ulla and we highly recommend your place for those who would like to visit Copenhagen.
We had a nice stay at Ulla's House, who welcomed us very nicely. The place is wonderful and charming, we'll coming again !

There was a whole lot of moving going on in the computer rankings after week 7 of the high school football season.

-- Mike Mathison
Creek's playoff push continues Friday when 5-2 Harrison Central visits Wintersville. The Huskies remain alive in the Division IV Region 15 hunt despite their heartbreaking 29-28 loss to Bellaire.
The defeat dropped Justin Kropka's club from sixth to eighth. St. Clairsville leads Region 15 with Ferry occupying the six hole.
In the victory over Ferry, Indian Creek rolled to 428 yards of offense (301 on the ground and 127 through the air). Logan Woods powered his way to 167 stripes on 18 trips. Alex Young collected 60 to go with is passing performance.
Frank Kamarec was on the receiving end of seven Young aerials. Blake Roar returned to the Creek lineup after missing a few games and immediately made his presence felt. He caught a touchdown pass just before the half then plowed in from three yards out for the game's final score.
Maurtice Hython had his usual strong game for the Huskies. He carried the ball 31 times for 211 yards and four touchdowns. For the season, Hython has 1,367 stripes and 14 rushing scores. Both totals lead The Herald Star/Daily Times coverage area.
After the Harrison Central encounter, Creek will close by visiting Buckeye Local then hosting Edison. The Huskies, meanwhile, will visit Union Local and host the Panthers.
Catholic Central, fresh off its 63-14 thumping of Division V Barnesville, has jumped to third in Division VI's Region 21. The 5-2 Crusaders have won four straight and will visit Weir Friday.
Mogadore continues to lead the region and Malvern is second. Unbeaten Shadyside stands fifth. Central advanced from seventh to third with its first ever win over the Shamrocks.
Central's offense compiled 487 offensive yards in the easy win. For the first time in recent history, the Crusaders had more yardage on the ground (277) than they did through the air (210).
Senior Doug Maslowski ran over, around and through the Barnesville defense for 195 yards and five touchdowns. He had scoring jaunts of 47, 10, 2, 3 and 9.
Brenton Colabella threw for one score (he tops the area with 22 scoring tosses). Zack Herrington, the area's leading receiver with 32, grabbed the TD pass.
After the Weir contest, Steve Daley's club has two huge dates on the schedule. It will host 5-1 Madonna then visit 6-1 Magnolia.
Friday's loss to Youngstown Ursuline dropped Big Red from sixth to ninth in Region 21. Alliance Marlington continues as the regional leader with Millersburg West Holmes second.
Dover jumped to sixth after knocking previously unbeaten Zanesville, a Division II club.
Big Red will hit the road for the just the second time this season, traveling to Morgantown for a key Friday battle. The Mohigans are 5-1 after clipping Wheeling Park. Kickoff at Pony Lewis Field is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.
Reno Saccoccia's club will close the season with home games against Sir Wilfrid Laurier from Toronto, Canada and Akron Butchel. The Blue Devils currently are 2-1 while the Griffins are 3-4.
Madonna should climb the West Virginia Class A ladder when new ratings are released this week. Unofficially, it appears the Blue Dons will jump to the No. 8 slot.
The Blue Dons were 13th before knocking off No. 14 Bishop Donahue Friday in Moundsville. Three teams ahead of Madonna (Tug Valley, Wirt County and East Hardy) fell over the weekend.
Doug Taylor's gridders will travel to Clarksburg this week to test 3-3 Notre Dame. They then will tangle with Catholic Central at Harding Stadium and host Toronto. Madonna closes the season with a home date with Clay-Battelle, currently sporting a 7-0 mark.
Ross Comis was the man again for the Dons in the 15-14 win over the Bishops. He traveled for 186 yards and scored on runs of 47 and 78. In addition, he intercepted a late Donahue pass and made something out of nothing off a botched snap on an extra point and completed a two-point conversion to Garrett Hypes that ended up being the difference.
The junior quarterback is the second leading rusher in the area with 761 stripes on 73 trips (an average of 10 yards a tote). He has 11 scores on the ground and has thrown for six more.
Oak Glen kept its Class AA playoff hopes alive thanks to a 26-20 overtime victory at Tyler Consolidated.
The Golden Bears, winners of two straight, are 4-3 and will visit East Liverpool Friday.
Bub Haddox had a huge night for Oak Glen, compiling 221 yards of total offense (throwing for 168 yards and running for 53). He ran for two scores and passed for another.

I've found the term Raubritter (German), which is translated to Robber-knight, and I was wondering - was it a popular thing in the 15th century? Were there many such knights? If they were tolerated by the appropriate king, why was that so? Are there any examples of famous, factual (meaning - they really lived) robber knights in the lands and times I'm interested in?
Originally, most knights were robbers. That is to say in the "bad old days" known as the Dark Ages. This was a period when Europe was basically in chaos, central authority was distant or non-existent, the population was declining and losing wealth. In such a vacuum, power rested in the hands of LOCAL authorities. The invention of the stirrup gave the newly-stabilized armored knights mounted on horses a huge advantage over anyone that didn't have these advantages. Therefore, small bands of such knights roamed the countryside under a handful of leaders and robbed and terrorized the "locals" into submission.
What curbed this tendency was the rise of chivalry in the late Middle Ages (1300-1500). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chivalry This was a code of honor (or "ethics") that applied to knights. Specifically, they were supposed to fight only "equals" (other knights) and protect people weaker than themselves; especially women and children, and even unarmed men, particularly if "old." Also, they were supposed to submit to the authority of the king, which is to say that they were not supposed to kill or plunder unless ordered to do so.
The development of the code of chivalry was incubated by the rise of European populations and the restoration of central authority between 1000-1300. It received a further boost with the resulting development of art, philosophy, and science between 1300-1500 that ultimately led to the Renaissance, Put another way, "knighthood" now became a "profession" instead of a "vocation" because of these developments.
Although chivalry was developed in Germany, it gained earlier acceptance in the warmer, milder climate of France, where there was a strong central authority after the end of the 100 Years' War (1453) and to a lesser extent, in Western Germany along the Rhine. By 1500, it was established in these, more western, parts of Europe, but NOT in the colder, harsher climes of eastern Europe including Poland, Silesia, and East Germany (as of 1945-1991) where "central authority," economic development, and population growth was still quite weak. That's why you will hear stories of "robber knights" in these areas in 1540, and not in the more western, civilized parts of Europe, where this phenomenon had disappeared over the previous 500 years.

There are people who respond immediately to a question. It seems they don't think about it at all and still give a great answer. You all know those guys who are able to counter a joke in no time. I would like to be as intuitive as they are.
I know what I want to say but I have to think it first instead of just saying it.
How do I shut up my inner voice and speed up my thinking?
I have the same issue while I read a text. I repeat it and read it out loud in my head.

- abstract
Whether friendship or competitive relationships deserve to be encouraged in the workplace is not obvious a priori. In this paper we derive the conditions under which a profit-maximizing employer finds it convenient to induce a rat race among workers exhibiting horizontal reciprocity in order to obtain underpaid or unpaid extra effort. We characterize the optimal compensation scheme under both symmetric and asymmetric information about workers' actions, and we also derive conditions for our result to hold in the presence of vertical reciprocity.

Prayer of a weary people
One of the petitions in the prayers of the people this morning was "that the people of the world grow weary of war." Naturally I was busy rewriting it even as the Lord was invoked.
Really! the Syrians must be more than weary. Also the Afghanis and Iraqis. The American people are weary of starting and conducting wars. The U.S. military is really tired of war. And the President, who looked exhausted at Friday's press conference, is certainly more than weary of war.
So I rewrote the petition: "that the U.S. Congress grow weary of war." Let us pray.

Lord hear our prayer!
Or, "that the world's politicians grow weary of killing". "People" don't start wars; politicians do.
Praying for weariness seems like kind of a strange thing to pray for. Margaret, I suppose the habits of being an editor, once acquired, are difficult to set aside; I suggest that whoever composes your petitions runs them by you early in the week for a little wordsmithing.
I wish it was as easy as identifying a few culprits, but singling out other people as troublemakers is usually not a remedy for war but more often a cause of it. We should understand by now that there is something deep, deep in our murderous hearts that loves war and will not be rooted out or talked away. Look at the old newsreels of soldiers from all over Europe marching off to glory in 1914, bands playing and crowds cheering. It's the same at the start of every war. We had a big dose of it here a decade ago. It's only after Shiloh and the Somme and Stalingrad and Fallujah that people begin to have doubts.
Of course, better leaders can make a difference. We recalled that very recently, when Nelson Mandela died.
It is a pernicious, persistent evil that we have to be constantly vigilant about. Just a few months ago there were loud voices encouraging war on Iran. One can not rest with such warmongers poised for battle.
While being wary of war we might also be wary of such as the Legionnaires of Christ who up until BEnedict censured them were becoming quite powerful in the church and buying property all over the place to foster their empire. We have to constantly be wary of a hierarchy who puts children second. We have to be wary of church officials who continue the mortar build up yet do zero about building up the people. We have to continually be aware of those who want to build an empire rather than the gospel of Christ.

Just saw this..
George Weigel on Pope Francis: "I was frankly surprised by the rapidity of the conclave (although I had been given a tip before the Wednesday voting session that things might in fact move faster, which they clearly did). I was pleasantly surprised by the determination to clean house, and not just in terms of letting a few manifest incompetents fade into the sunset, but in the sense of a real commitment to cultural change in the curia -- which I take as a sign that the new evangelization is taking hold, because it's seized the imagination of the Church's shepherds, or at least a critical mass of them. And I was sadly surprised that some senior churchmen still don't seem to understand that chronic self-referentiality is not a winning way to preach the Gospel."Apologies, if this was linked in the many Popenotes below.Who are Weigel's "manifest incompetents"? And self-referentiality! Name his book.

George Weigel has a problem with "self-referentiality?" Now, that is change we can believe in.
Just when I'm ready to give myself the "Nobel Prize for Charity," I read something from George Weigel and realize that I'm not yet a candidate. There's no so-called "conservative" writer that makes me return faster to my blood pressure meds..not so much for his opinions (which I usually do not share), but for the "self-referentiality" that permeates his writings. Back to the "charity 101" classes..
You're ahead of me..I am in the pre-K charity classes. Not that there isn't solid provocation.Still, who is Weigel happy to see go off into the sunset?? Benedict?
So he got a tip before Wednesday's voting. Is he excommunicated?
He probably got two tips, one that things might move faster, and the other that things might move slower. So he was ready and can say that he was well informed.
I was informed that things would move at just the pace they did. I'm sorry, I can't reveal my source.
What a joke - notice his humility? *...received a tip on Wednesday* which, in translation, means that, of course, I am important.New Evangelization - Weigel must be confused. Would suggest that Papa Pancho by his example and decisions will *ressource* the church back to living the gospel (oh yeah, that was evangelization). Not sure that the *new evangelization* was ever a *cultural change*? Cultures just are - neutral. And do you think Benedict meant new evangelization targeted the curia?Incompetents - imagine his list would be very different from Papa Pancho's.He joins many others this week (especially traddie blogs) who are spending hours spinning and doing damage control.
"manifest incompetents" -- all cadinals and members of the curia not named "Weigel."
It is certainly a different tone from Weigel. One that we obviously are not accustomed to from him.
The good news is that as we hear more 'preferential option for the poor' and see less pomp in dress, struts, language the 'bella figura' will fade away into the sunset. first to go... SSPX..
Hold on, guys. So far we know that it is likely that Francis will be an exemplary shepherd of the poor. But so far he has given little or not indication that he is inclined to even discuss the hot button issues of sexual morality and questions of ordination. He did support civil unions for gays, which is a b is hopeful. It shows that he is capable of changing his mind. But otherwise, as I see it, he has found no problems at all the old teachings about sexual morality and ordination. So I expect that initially, at any rate, he will come out in support of traditional morality and celibacy in all male priesthood. I expect that he will have to be convinced somehow athat there are people who suffer from current Church teachings about those matters and, therefore, that they must be reviewed. Because many do suffer because of those teachings I'm optimistic that he will eventually review them; But in the meantime I expect the same ole same ole. And George Weigel will say "I told you so".
"Still, who is Weigel happy to see go off into the sunset?? Benedict?"Yes, I'm sure he was referring to Benedict.
Mark P: How do you know? I mean, proof? What exactly is/was his problem with Benedict? I honestly don't know, though I think you are probably right.
I am quite sure George was referring to Bertone, the Secretary of State, above all. As well as some Bertone allies. The dynamic is that Benedict was done wrong by his staff, not that Benedict was wrong. If Benedict was wrong it would mean that George and the Cath cons were wrong about him as the perfect choice in 2005. Ratzinger was the answer to every question. Bertone is undoubtedly not a stellar SecState, but Benedict also refused to sack him, and staffed his administration with theologians and yes-men and friends. The past eight years, and certainly the latter years of JP2's reign, have been a disaster for the Catholic right. They're a bit like Republicans today, who are shocked, shocked to find that we are in debt and spending so much money and in terrible straits and pointing the finger of blame at others who they say have to make the tough choices to clean up this mess. There is a lot of fancy footwork and repositioning going on by these days. It's funny to watch. Pull up a chair.
!Referindose al Papa como Pancho me ofende! Me hubiera esperado un comentario ms respetable. Qu has logrado con esto? Nada.
David:I think that you are correct on Bertone. He seems to be the preferred whipping boy/scapegoat. Whether that is fair or not is another question but such is politics.I was speaking to a Chinese friend and outside observer and mentioned that this election was touted as reform. He is far from a Communist but quoted Mao who said that he was only able to clean up a few blocks. Entrenched privileges.I think Pope Francis is doing an end run around the who apparatus and trying reform a la his namesake and Jesus! Ultimately, it doesn't matter who is in place as long as they are reasonably competent and have good moral character and are trying to do the right thing by way of purification of conscience and reflection.
Ann Olivier:Let's start with COLLEGIALITY. That's a big enough task for now. If the bishops are no longer treated like altar boys by the Curia Romana, then other issues may yet be engaged. Let's hope for a retrieval of the Council first.
Let's start with the POOR! That is the task for now.
Eight days. That's all it's been. With all he's had to do recently, Pope Francis may not have his bags unpacked yet. If good things are coming in this papacy, I'm content to wait for them; and if they are not, I see no need to rush disappointment.We will know soon enough.
Perhasp wee should start a journal called "The Catholic Scallion" and begin with the headline"Pope Francis Pontificate Deemed A Failure! George Weigel Named Extraordinary Biographer Chronicles Disaster in 900 Page Book That He Has Already Written."
Scallion Bulletin!!!"George Weigel Has Just Published His Second Book on Pope Francis! "Maybe Not What He's Cracked Up to Be.. Why Then is He is a Youth Jail? Something From His Past we Should Know...?"
Pope Francis' s concluding words to the diplomatic corps, at the Vatican this morning, the tenth day of his Petrine ministry:"To struggle against poverty both spiritual and material; to build peace and construct bridges. These are the points of reference on the road which I desire each of the countries represented here to take. A difficult road however, if we do not learn more and more to love the Earth. Also in this regard it is of help to me to think of the name of Saint Francis, who teaches us a deep respect for all creation, the protection of our environment, which too often we do not use for good ends, but exploit to the harm of one another." (unofficial translation)
Correction: "but exploit GREEDILY to the harm of one another."
The vaunted "tip" could easily have been the blanket e-mail that Cardinal Dolan sent around his archdiocese on Monday predicting that we'd have a pope by Thursday and that he could be installed on St. Joseph's Day.
Peg:I am so glad to see that you have noticed how GW managed to flog his new book every time he "reported" on the goings on in Rome.
Jim McC. --Pope Francis has already begun with the poor. This morning he said Mass for some garbage men! Yay, yay, yay, Francis!!
Every day I check out the news about the pope, and good news keep streaming in. No more brainy homilies, that I confess I will miss sometimes, but, instead, a person who seems to seriously be taking Jesus as his model. The other day I daydreamed that Pope Francis and Pope Emeritus Benedict would pen a joint pastoral letter, with both of their signatures affixed.
And let's never forget Weigel trumping the Iraq war along with Neuhaus and Novak. Now the data is overwhelmingly in that this most shameful war in our history was one that really could be prosecuted by Nuremburg as an aggressive war. A preemptive war. What a tremendous blight on the USA by Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld etc. Plus the aforementioned super Catholics.
Hmmmm. Jamie Manson at NCR tells us that the new pope and the Argentinian Evangelicals get along just fine."Apparently their respect runs so deep that, according to another Christianity Today article, at least one evangelical scholar, Cecil Robeck, professor of church history and ecumenics at Fuller Theological Seminary, says "his Argentine friends have described Francis as a Bible-oriented man who holds to literal interpretation of much of the Bible, so he'll likely affirm much evangelical theology.""Frances leans to literal interpretation of the Bible? Looks like George Weigel might be at least partlyright. Francis is theologically REALLY unreconstructed.http://ncronline.org/blogs/grace-margins/pope-francis-ecumenical-evangel...
Pope Francis will find some sharp minds on the subject of creation and science among the Jesuits at the Vatican Observatory, if he wants to talk about literal interpretation of the Bible and science: http://www.vaticanobservatory.org/index.php/en/staff/85-brother-guy .Brother Guy told us his quarters or office ( I can't remember which) are just above the Papal apartments at Castel Gandolfo.
Anne Olivier, I'd take the notice of Francis's biblical literal mindedness with a grain of salt...maybe a whole cup. Between those who hope to find faults and those who hope to claim him, there will, no doubt, be extravagant claims. In this case, not even the most conservative Catholics could be described as literal minded readers of the bible or as fundamentalists, or at least as biblical fundamentalists. Papal fundamentalists perhaps...
Ms. S. --Robeck's claim is actually a somewhat qualified one -- he says Francis " holds to literal interpretation of much of the Bible". Notice the "much of". But even so, that some knowledgeable fundamentalists view him close to them is a bit scary. I hope they're wrong. Francis was a chemistry major in college, so I doubt that his literal interpretations concern evolution. Does that leave mainly the moral issues? We'll see.
Ann: I am happy to be referenced by you for something I wrote, but Jim McK wrote that to which you referred above @ 03/22/2013 - 2:32 pm. I don't even know his real name!Also, I don't know where you live (03/22/2013 - 2:32 pm), but in my 'hood, garbage men are FAR from being "the poor" (assuming that they are unionized, as so many of them are)!Is it a job many of us would want? No, thanks. Is it a degree of income that many would want? Oh, yes!
Jim McC. --My apology to Jim McK. The garbage men here aren't well paid. No city workers are, though I think that the garbage service is now being handled by a private company. But you couldn't pay me enough to do what they do!

I was reading today that someone found $\pi$ to the ten trillionth digit. Whenever I read that $\pi$ has been calculated to more digits, I ask myself whether this is useful. I know that there are conjectures out there about distributions of numbers in $\pi$ and such. So, I supposed knowing more digits helps us test conjectures. But, are there more reasons that we would want to know the digits? Anything really cool I'm ignoring or forgetting?
Not for any real-life calculations according to wikipedia
It is however useful to test supercomputers for accuracy
Knowing more and more digits of $\pi$ has absolutely no value to anybody. Digits of $\pi$, beyond the twentieth or so, are completely worthless. The only value in this enterprise, if any, lies in the process by which the digits are generated, not the digits themselves.
A less mathematical reason for calculating more and more decimal places is because we know they are there. Man is inherently curious and always wants to see what's over the next hill, round the next bend etc.
Another reason is for its properties of randomness.
This can be used to test software for analyzing random sequences. It can also be used as a teaching aide. Example: if the digits of pi exhibit statistical randomness (it is believed they do), then at some point in pi's expansion there will be a sequence of one million consecutive 0's.
Whenever we calculate the first $n$ digits of an irrational number, we simply estimate it and there is a small error in our approximation.
If we use that for practical applications, we should always be aware of the error and check if it is resonable or not for the practical application. If not we need more digits, so theoretically there is always a need for extra digits.
The above answers covered well why 1 billion digits are probably more than enough for $\pi$, anyhow in general it is hard to say how many digits we need to know to cover any possible application. A resonable number of digits shouldn't suffice, we always need an unresonable number.
Not for $\pi$, but here is a known example where 26 digits (well not exactly, they were 26 binary digits) were not enough for a practical application, and unfortunatelly some people died because the error in that application was too big:
I find this example interesting, because most people would think that 5-6 digits should suffice in all cases, and it is easy to understand why in this case the estimation wasn't good (of course people should had thought about it before it happend)...

I am running an Ubuntu Server (with ebox/zentyal installed). I believe it uses a combination of LDAP users and local users but I currently cannot login (through SSH) with any of them.
I was trying to fix a user problem on another box I was playing around with and accidentally pasted the following commands from a forum:
rm /etc/passwd
rm /etc/shadow
cp /etc/passwd- /etc/passwd
So I am hoping I fixed my passwd file by restoring it from the
/etc/passwd-, but I still can't login with my admin user (I still have a root terminal open though).
Any ideas on how to at least get my admin user to login through ssh again (it's a local user, not an LDAP one)?
I tried setting a new password with
passwd admin but I am getting an
Authentication Token Manipulation Error (which was the problem I was trying to solve in the first place).
Tried Danny's fix below:
root@server:/etc# useradd -G admin kribor
root@server:/etc# passwd kribor
passwd: Authentication token manipulation error
passwd: password unchanged

is there any shortcode or a plugin that will add new quicktag, like this example:
[hidemytext]some hidden text[/hidemytext]
and any text inside those tag is hidden from the post or from the page.
Thanks and regards
Simple answer:
But shortcodes should never be used like that. Imagine what happens when the plugin or theme with that shortcode is turned off: everyone can see the content now. This is not very user friendly.
So switch the logic: show nothing or the bare shortcode tag by default, show the content only if the shortcode handler is active. Store the hidden content in a simple metabox:
To do that, add a metabox with an editor and show its content per shortcode:
You really should be able to work this out from the examples in the Codex.

Muskego - Salentine Buick, 14444 W. Janesville Road, believed to be the oldest business in Muskego until it closed last week, will be missed as much for its philantrophic efforts as for its car lot, local officials said.
The family-owned auto dealership, which opened in 1923, had a hand in community programs and promotions, including those involving the most basic needs within the city.
"E.J. Salentine has been a staple in our community," said Muskego Mayor Kathy Chiaverotti. "They have been very philanthropic to community organizations and individuals in need."
Salentine contributed to youth groups, to Christmas in the Country and to drives to help local families in need, Chiaverotti said.
"They always helped any local group in need and fundraisers for people facing health issues," she said. "They're good people."
What gives
Salentine Buick was the first business to make room for the Muskego food pantry to operate under its roof. In fact, there wouldn't be a Muskego food pantry without Salentine Buick, said Julie Frahmann, food pantry founder and director.
"They were the only place that stepped up and housed us when we were starting," Frahmann said.
Salentine always supported chamber events at the top sponsorship level, said Tina Weiss, executive director of the Muskego Area Chamber of Commerce. The chamber's to Christmas in the Country citywide event benefited particularly from Salentine's support and input.
"It helped make it the family event it is now," Weiss said.
"Losing them will be a hardship on us and we will miss them very much," said Weiss, noting Salentine Buick would have been 90 years old this year, four years older than Horn Brothers, the city's original general store that opened in 1927. "They have always been a huge supporter of the community."
Helping in other ways
Salentine's support for community events was more than monetary.
"They have always been there when we needed volunteers for anything," Weiss said.
When Julie Azmani was just starting her business, Glo 10 spa and salon at W13646 Janesville Road at Lincoln Point, she found invaluable help and advice from Sorensen.
"I met Sue three years ago and from the time I met her, I could call up and ask advice and what she thought I should do," Azmani said.
The family has run a successful business for three generations. They know how to do things and have the contacts to get things done, Azmaini said.
"They've been around forever and they're willing to share what they know," she said. "It's a great loss."
Facing an end
The dealership took a huge financial hit in 2009, when General Motors dropped it as a dealership following GM's financial rescue by the federal government.
A massive groundswell of support engulfed GM causing it to reinstate Salentine in July 2010. In the meantime, the dealership was surviving on used car sales and car repairs.
The transition to something less than a business mainstay and community contributor hasn't been easy on the family.
Sue Sorensen, general manager and one of the owners of the three-generation family-owned business, was heartbroken last year when she told the chamber that the dealership could not support Country Christmas as much as it wanted to.
Last week was really rough, Sorensen said Friday. The family has been sorting through 90 years of documents. Trucks came Friday to get the remaining cars on the lot.
General Motors' decision to stop making Pontiacs really sealed the fate of the dealership, which had sold Pontiacs as well as Buicks, Sorensen said.
"As a single-line Buick dealer, we couldn't make it," she said.
The dealership couldn't expand to other models because it was too close to a GM dealer on Highway 100 and too close to a Chevrolet dealer, she said. And automakers such as Toyota would have required a whole new building, she added.
Customer appreciation
"But we had the best customers and the best employees," Sorensen said, noting the average length of service for the 35 employees, nearly all full-time, was 30 years.
One of the dealership's longtime customers and friend, Werner Bierbach, had a sign made thanking the community on behalf of the family for 90 years. The family treasures that gift, she said.
The city would like to do what it can to help, said Chiaverotti, who has offered to meet with the family.
Since it opened in 1923, the dealership and the family that has owned it have been woven into the fabric of the community.
Founder S.J. Salentine was the first fire chief of Tess Corners. His son, E.J. Salentine also was the Tess Corners chief. Scott Salentine, E.J.'s son, is currently a captain in the department.
S.J. Salentine donated a Buick chassis that the Fire Department turned into a fire truck.
The original dealership was across Tess Corners Drive from the current location. The first year it opened, customers bought Buicks that had spoke wheels, running boards and a spare tires in to the trunk.
The family opened its current location in the 1970s. A $4 million renovation took place in 2000.

I have a general question about numbers:
How many ways can we write $n$ as the sum of the numbers $1$,$2$ and $3$?
I know that we start with the following functions: $$\frac{1}{1-z} = 1+z+z^2+ \dots$$ $$\frac{1}{1-z^2} = 1+z^2+ z^4+ z^6 + \dots$$ $$\frac{1}{1-z^3} = 1+ z^3+ z^{6}+ z^{9} + \dots$$
Multiplying these together we get $$\sum C(n) z^n = \frac{1}{(1-z)(1-z^2)(1-z^3)}$$ where $C(n)$ is our answer. In other words, by multiplying out the polynomials and looking at the coefficients, I can verify that I get the answer. But how do I know that this gives me the answer? How would I get an explicit formula for $C(n)$? I think I have to do something with partial fractions. So $$\frac{1}{(1-z)(1-z^2)(1-z^3)} = \frac{A}{1-z} + \frac{B}{1-z^2}+ \frac{C}{1-z^3}$$ and we have to solve for $A$, $B$ and $C$?

Despite doctors telling her there was nothing wrong, Kimberly's mother's intuition stepped in.
"Something is still wrong, because a mother's intuition, you know your baby. Better than anybody else knows your baby, so I took him to another doctor, got him evaluated, and the doctor she listed to me and thank god she did because something was wrong."
After multiple tests, C.J. was officially diagnosed.
That was a little over two years ago, and even though little C.J. has progressed since his initial diagnosis, there are still struggles.
"They don't know how we feel, it's a struggle, everyday we have good days, we have bad days," says Kimberly Armstrong.
What makes even more difficult, is the mounds and mounds of paperwork that goes along with autism, not to mention the financial cost of the disability.
"The two hundred dollars is initial but after that is the twenty thirty dollars extra. It's very expensive, I have a five hundred dollar bill, right now for speech therapy," says Kimberly Armstrong.
I have tried Medicaid they turned me down, they told me I need to take them off the insurance."
But despite not getting help Armstrong can still see a glimmer of hope.
"He knows his ABC's, his 123's. He sings itsy bitsy spider, he sings Sponge Bob, he sings Elmo.
My son is living testimony that miracles can truly happen."
A miracle she hopes to continue to see.
Armstrong tells me she hopes to get the assistance she needs to continue speech therapy for her son.
Another factor keeping the Armstrong's from getting better care, is Kimberly's husband makes too much for the family to qualify for programs that offer speech therapy at discounted or free rates.
