Autism Speaks Transition Tool Kit was created to serve as a guide that can provide you with options to think about and explore as you and your adolescent with autism begin to plan for adulthood.
We have created a Transition Tool Kit Online Appendix where families can find additional tools, resources and tips that may be helpful during the transition process. The appendix will be a live database where items will be added and updated regularly. We know how valuable it is for families and professionals to learn from one another. So if you know of any items that you think may be helpful to other families, please submit them to us at email@example.com and we will include them in the Online Appendix.
We have broken the appendix into groups that correspond to specific topics of the Tool Kit.

I have noticed that a common problem shared by many scrappers is the ol' "what to write" conundrum. Certain photos inspire journaling, but not all photos are like this. The other day I created a page and realized that the journaling was present, but it was empty. It didn't really say anything meaningful. It seemed like filler.
The moment I realized this, I tore apart the page, set aside the photo block, and redid the layout with more consideration toward the journaling.
There are certain lines that I don't want to cross as a scrapbooker, and one of those is complacency in journaling, just scrawling something to fill space. I figure, if my journaling sounds trite, devoid of my voice or any genuine feeling, then it isn't worth documenting that way, and maybe I need to change my approach.
I rarely will restart a page, but that page was a wake-up call for me.
Wilna Furstenberg started a thread on Two Peas today that asked, "What makes a page for you?" She gave four choices: the picture, the journaling/story, the papers, or the embellishments. She then challenged people to pick just one. Tough, right?
How could I not choose the journaling? The photos are important, but the story is primary, the crucial ingredient. Our eyes may notice the photos first, but for me, it is the story that "makes" the page. Though it may be a challenge, I can create a photo-less page, but creating a page without journaling feels just plain wrong to me. The words matter.
I'm glad I had this revelation before I sat down to complete the journaling on this layout for the JBS blog.
Sure, there I am in the photo, but if you look closely, you will find that I am truly present in the journaling.

Great post, Jill!ReplyDelete
I always find journaling to be one of my most difficult aspects of scrapbooking. I am afraid of that very thing. Sounding trite or fake.
So often times I will keep it short and to the point!
SUCH great thoughts, Jill!! I totally agree. I'll pick journaling any day! ^_^ReplyDelete
How wonderful! I'm a weirdo and don't have a problem writing (English teacher), but I loved your suggestions and will take them to heart. Love the design too! TFS!ReplyDelete

Hi Jill! Thanks for checking up on me...i'm still alive, just not much scrapping going on over here hence the lack of blogging... Now that I've lost momentum I'm struggling to get back into it (both scrapping and blogging, that is) Very much in need of a mojo hit! xxReplyDelete

There are three active NIH or Department of Education-funded training programs focused on increasing diversity, sponsored by the HVR. The first is the "Post-baccalaureate Research Education Program" (PREP) under the direction of Dr. Debra Diz. This NIGMS funded training program has 6 slots for trainees. The unique aspects of this training program are to provide a transition between undergraduate and graduate school for under-represented minorities. The second training grant is the "Excellence in Cardiovascular Sciences" (EICS) summer program for minority students. This program funded by NHLBI funds 12 positions for summer research experiences. This program has been in existence for 19 years. A new program provides opportunities for science majors to visit Brazil. The "Translational Biomedical Sciences Training For Underrepresented Minorities (TBS)" program is for graduate and undergraduate students from WFU, WFSM, WSSU and NCCU to participate in independent study in Brazil and experience Brazilian culture and language. Brazilian students from partner institutions come to WFSM for a 4-6 month reciprocal exchange.
In addition to the training programs described above, a newly funded Institutional Research and Academic Career Development Award (IRACDA) has been granted from NIGMS to support the "Post-doctoral Research, Instruction and Mentoring Experience" (PRIME) program (Directed by Dr. Allyn Howlett, Integrative Physiology and Pharmacology). The PRIME program funds a three-year fellowship for underrepresented minority post-doctoral trainees to prepare for junior faculty teaching positions in the biomedical sciences.
Faculty serve as training faculty in 18 of the 22 funded institutional training programs, and are directors of 8 different training programs. Trainees from all four biomedical science tracks are supported in laboratories of the Hypertension & Vascular Research faculty. Faculty members participate in graduate education as thesis advisors and committee members throughout the graduate school. National and international scholars hold post-doctoral fellowships with members of the faculty and a long-standing relationship with investigators from foreign countries ensures a strong program in post-graduate education. Information on WFSM graduate programs can be found at: http://www2.wfubmc.edu/graduate/. Information about availability of post-doctoral or other training opportunities can be obtained by contacting the particular faculty member of interest.

Family of Origin
Like many in our community, I am closer to my "family of choice" than I am to my "family of origin." But in recent years - thanks in large part to Facebook - I have gotten somewhat reacquainted with cousins and siblings I have not seen in over three (sometimes four) decades.
It seems, for example, that I have a plethora of nieces and nephews in addition to my little brother's two kids, Mijo and Marya, the latter born not quite a year ago. (Akuema, my brother, never fails to remind me that I have yet to meet the newest addition; "When are you getting yourself home to New Mexico?" he demands. I'm coming, bro, I'll be there at some point in the middle of this year.)
Akuema, of course, is another of my chosen kin. It amuses and perplexes me that people make a distinction between him - my adopted brother - and Gavin, my baby brother. "Wait," they'll say, when I share some anecdote about one or the other of my fraternal siblings. "Is this the one who's really your brother?"
Well, gosh. They're both really my brothers. And if distinctions of DNA are so important, then why does no one fret over the face that Gavin is actually, in genetic terms, my half-brother?
It's not that I don't get it. I understand, sort of, why this distinction that I never make is, to many people, terribly important. "Blood is thicker than water," the saying tells us. But it's been a long time since I felt any kind of consanguineous tug. I have to remind myself that most people experience a deep and innate connection to those to whom they are related by an accident of birth, a connection enhanced by years and years of shared experience and sedimentary layers of common memory. Most people actually know the others in their biological families. Most people come from families that, in all likelihood, didn't fly to flinders quite as thoroughly and spectacularly as mine did.
As this new year dawned, however, I got a dose of that long-forgotten sense of blood ties from a set of old family photos that a cousin had posted at Facebook. Picking through this online photo album, I felt a sense of almost creepy recognition, something between nostalgia and surprise, as I recognized faces long unseen. People I'd completely forgotten about suddenly entered my thoughts anew; people I'd never met, but only heard of, took on substance as I examined pictures of them that I had never seen before.
My father and his brothers and sisters all standing in a group, in the early 1950s... kids themselves. Then, ten or fifteen years later, grouped once again with their parents in a color photo taken shortly before my paternal grandfather died. My aunts were lovely young women; my uncles were impossibly young. One of them, I was shocked to see, was actually pretty hot stuff - he was, in fact, movie-star handsome, and he knew how to dress the part. His clothing and his posture also matched the persona of a good-looking guy from that era, but he'd just as easily fit into today's world. If I saw him on the street today, I'd look twice. It's more than a little strange to have a reaction of aesthetic appreciation for a man now in his 70s, a man you know in your mind is your father's brother.
Strangest of all, exerting the most powerful grasp over my imagination, is a photo from 1938 of my paternal grandfather. The image is blurry but if I didn't know for a fact that it was he, I might have mistaken him for me: Even blurred and indistinct, he has a very similar cast of face and bearing. He's also wearing a whopping great cowboy hat and a pair of six-shooters, not to mention overlapping ammo belts strapped to his waist in a bullet-studded X.
"Just look at that six-gun toting son of a bitch!" I exclaimed to my husband.
He squinted at the computer screen. "Is that you?"
"That is my grandpa," I said, surprised to hear a note of pride and excitement in my own voice.
"Is that New Mexico?"
"This was taken in New Mexico in 1938," I confirmed.
"It looks like New Mexico." My husband studied the image a bit longer. "It looks like you - if you were dressing up and playing cowboy."
I've never been into genealogy, and I have always scoffed at the family lore that claims Sacajawea as an ancestor and boasts that a town in Wyoming was named after a great-great uncle. But something in my blood and bones stirred to see that old photo; something took notice at how I turn out to be an echo of a man I never knew, a man who died before I was born.
For these past few decades, I've assumed I was sui generis, more the product of the influences I have sought out and the people I've adopted as family than the result of my DNA. I've taken pride in the differences that define me and distinguish me from my forebears; I'm one of the first in my family to go to college (the movie star uncle beat me to it a generation ago, but he was a true outlier on our family tree), I'm conscious and careful about drinking (having seen what alcohol did to my immediate family), I've even done the unthinkable and subjected myself to a few years of psychotherapy, all in order to transcend... or escape... what I saw as a legacy of nothing more than domestic violence and an itinerant lifestyle marked by marital infidelity and borderline poverty.
Now I see there's more to the picture... literally. I'm part of something deep and broad and far-reaching. I might be on the very fringes of the thing, but it's never relinquished me; I partake in other spheres and lineages, but I also stem from this one, this tumultuous family tree that has spawned sharecroppers and novelists and everything in between. Somehow, I brought a sepia-tinged notion of who these people were with me on this long journey through the years, and now - with this blurry vintage photograph - something has come sharply and marvelously into focus.
I belong to these people, too. It's okay - holy crow, my gods, would you look at that -- it's okay to embrace and admire and take pride in them. I will never be parted from my family of choice, but it feels like I've rejoined my family of origin.

You set out to lose weight with the best of intentions. You are sticking to your diet - a few slips here and there, but nothing major that would result in the pounds not coming off. But, still nothing seems to be happening. You follow the weight loss program and still it has been weeks since you have seen any significant weight loss. Is this a weight loss plateau? Many people who try to lose weight get hit with a weight loss plateau. Dieting can be difficult enough - getting stuck at the same weight for weeks is extremely frustrating. Here are some tips and suggestions to help break through the dreaded weight loss plateau.
rapid weight loss, weight loss programs for women, lose weight in a week,
Many weight loss programs use a similar approach to what types of food groups you eat. For example, a common combination is 50% carbohydrates, 30% protein and 20% fat. For a short time - to get over the weight loss plateau - make an adjustment to these percentages. Lower the amount of carbohydrates and bump up the amount of protein. Keep moving - increase the exercise. If you are struggling to get the pounds moving in the right direction again - either add exercise to your weekly calendar or increase the amount of exercise you do. Cardio exercises are excellent for burning fat. If you are already exercising - try adding five to ten minutes to your routine. If you are not currently exercising - adding even a small amount of exercise to your plan can have a huge impact on the amount of weight you lose. Give it a try! Check your calories. When you stared the weight loss program - whether you are using a formal program or you are doing it on your own - you took into consideration your weight and the number of calories needed to lose weight. if you have lost a good bit of weight already - you may need to reduce the number of calories you are eating now to continue to lose weight. For example, if you weighed 200 pounds when you began your diet and you want to weigh 120 pounds - you should eat 1600 calories per day. But, now you weigh 150 pounds and you still want to get down to 120 - now you should only eat 1400 calories per day. The Calorie Control Counsel [link - http://www.caloriecontrol.org/] has some great tools for weight loss.
There is not anything much more frustrating to someone trying their best to lose weight than a weight loss plateau. The good thing is realizing that this is an obstacle that most dieters have faced - so you are not alone. And fortunately, there is a lot of information, tips and advice on how to combat the dreaded weight loss plateau.

Official: Bridge Scandal Aide Rarely Acted Alone
Christina Renna Says Another Top Christie Aide was Instrumental In Lane Closures
TRENTON--A former top aide to Gov. Chris Christie accused of engineering the George Washington Bridge lane closures didn't typically act on her own, according to sworn testimony on Tuesday.
Bridget Kelly--who was fired as the New Jersey governor's deputy chief of staff in January after her role in the lane closures became public--appeared to be involved in the bridge matter but usually took her cues from other Christie officials, said Christina Renna, the former director of the state Department of Legislative and Intergovernmental...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Justice Department said on Sunday it is evaluating whether it has enough evidence to support further prosecution of George Zimmerman in federal court in the shooting death of unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin, and whether it can do so after Zimmerman was acquitted in a Florida state court.
"Experienced federal prosecutors will determine whether the evidence reveals a prosecutable violation of any of the limited federal criminal civil rights statutes within our jurisdiction," a Justice Department spokesman said in a statement, "and whether federal prosecution is appropriate in accordance with the department's policy governing successive federal prosecution following a state trial."

PHILADELPHIA — Hall of Fame coach Joe Paterno and other senior Penn State officials "concealed critical facts" about Jerry Sandusky's child abuse because they were worried about bad publicity, according to an internal investigation into the scandal.
The 267-page report released Thursday is the result of an eight-month inquiry by former FBI director Louis Freeh, hired by university trustees weeks after Sandusky was arrested in November to look into what has become one of sports' biggest scandals.
The report concluded that Paterno, president Graham Spanier, athletic director Tim Curley and vice president Gary Schultz "failed to protect against a child sexual predator harming children for over a decade."
"In order to avoid the consequences of bad publicity, the most powerful leaders at the university — Spanier, Schultz, Paterno and Curley — repeatedly concealed critical facts relating to Sandusky's child abuse," the report said.
Sexual abuse might have been prevented if university officials had banned Sandusky from bringing children onto campus after a 1998 inquiry, the report said. Despite their knowledge of the police probe into Sandusky showering with a boy in a football locker room, Spanier, Paterno, Curley and Schultz took no action to limit his access to campus, the report said.
The May 1998 complaint by a woman whose son came home with wet hair after showering with Sandusky didn't result in charges at the time. The report says Schultz was worried the matter could be opening "Pandora's box."
Officials later did bar him from bringing children to campus.
Freeh called the officials' disregard for child victims "callous and shocking."
"Our most saddening and sobering finding is the total disregard for the safety and welfare of Sandusky's child victims by the most senior leaders at Penn State," Freeh said. "The most powerful men at Penn State failed to take any steps for 14 years to protect the children who Sandusky victimized."
Some of the most powerful men at the school "empowered Sandusky to attract potential victims to the campus and football events by allowing him to have continued, unrestricted and unsupervised access" to campus and his affiliation with the football program, the report said. The access, the report states, "provided Sandusky with the very currency that enabled him to attract his victims."
Sandusky is awaiting sentencing after being convicted of 45 criminal counts for abusing 10 boys. The scandal led to the ouster of Paterno and the school's president.
Trustee Anthony Lubrano, a critic of the board's dismissal of Paterno in November, said the board was still formulating a response.
Freeh also said Sandusky's conduct was in part a result of the school's lack of transparency, which stemmed from a "failure of governance" on the part of officials and the board of trustees. He said the collective inaction and mindset at the top of the university trickled all the way down to a school janitor who was afraid for his job and opted to not report seeing sex abuse in a school locker room in 2000.
The report also singled out the revered Penn State football program — one built on the motto "success with honor" — for criticism. It says Paterno and university leaders allowed Sandusky to retire in 1999, "not as a suspected child predator, but as a valued member of the Penn State football legacy, with future `visibility' at Penn State'," allowing him to groom victims.
Investigators, however, found no evidence linking his 1999 retirement to the 1998 police investigation.
The report said Spanier promised the prestigious "emeritus" status to Sandusky, but others voiced concerns it wasn't appropriate. The report disclosed that Spanier also approved a lump-sum payment of $168,000 to Sandusky, which other officials said may have been unprecedented.
Sandusky's trial last month included gut-wrenching testimony from eight young men who said he abused them as boys, sometimes on campus, and included testimony that showed he used his prestige as a university celebrity to manipulate the children.
By contrast, Freeh's team focused on Penn State and what its employees did — or did not do — to protect children.
More than 430 current or former school employees were interviewed since November, including nearly everyone associated with the football program under Paterno. The Hall of Fame coach died of lung cancer in January at age 85, without telling Freeh's team his account of what happened.
With the report now complete, the NCAA said Penn State now must address four key questions concerning "institutional control and ethics policies," as outlined in a letter sent to the school last fall.
"Penn State's response to the letter will inform our next steps, including whether or not to take further action," said Bob Williams, the NCAA's vice president of communications. "We expect Penn State's continued cooperation in our examination of these issues."
The U.S. Department of Education is examining whether the school violated the Clery Act, which requires reporting of certain crimes on campus, including ones of a sexual nature. The report said Penn State's "awareness and interest" in Clery Act compliance was "significantly lacking."
Only one form used to report such crimes was completed on campus from 2007 through 2011, according to the Freeh findings. And no record exists of Paterno, Curley or assistant coach Mike McQueary reporting that McQueary saw Sandusky in a shower with a boy in 2001, as they would be obligated to do under the Clery Act.
As of last November, Penn State's policies for Clery compliance were still in draft form and had not been implemented, the report found.
U.S. Department of Education said it was still examining whether Penn State violated the Clery Act, but declined to comment on Freeh's report.
Mary Krupa, an 18-year-old Penn State freshman who grew up in State College, said the conclusion that the school's highest officials were derelict in protecting children didn't shake her love of the town or the school.
"The actions of five or six people don't reflect on the hundreds of thousands" of students and faculty who make up the Penn State community, she said while walking through the student union building on campus.
Armas reported from Scranton and Scolforo from Harrisburg. Tim Reynolds in Miami contributed to this report.

I was reading the Yii 2 coding style and the following caught my attention:
Class names MUST be declared in StudlyCaps. Core classes should be prefixed with C. For example, CController, CWidget. Application and extension classes should not use C as prefix. For extensions it's common to use E.
My question is... is still necessary the class names prefixes once we have namespaces? Why use CClass, EClass or Class if we are able to have \yii\Class, \extension\Class or \app\Class / \Class?

Samsung hasn't marketed its Galaxy S5 as being ruggedized, but perhaps it should. Recently, we showed you a drop test in which the Galaxy S5 held up almost perfectly. The same team over at TechSmartt decided to put the Galaxy S5 to the test again with a water test/washing machine test. Samsung rates the S5 as being IP67 certified for water, which means that it can survive for up to half an hour in up to a meter (3.3 feet) of water. So how did it actually fare?
The S5 handled it flawlessly. While sitting in a pool at 3.3 feet for an hour, the Galaxy S5 continued to run the entire time and when taken out, worked perfectly with no signs of water leakage. With that success, the team took it even further by throwing the S5 into a pair of blue jeans and putting it into a normal cycle in washing machine. After fifty minutes of spinning, sloshing, and generally being tossed around in water and against metal, the Galaxy S5 came out working perfectly. Not only had it withstood water damage, but it also managed to keep the display fully intact. An impressive feat, to be sure.

Collingwood to stay on at Durham
Durham captain Paul Collingwood has shelved retirement plans by signing a new one-year deal with the county.
The former England all-rounder, 38, had initially planned to end his playing career at the end of the current campaign but will now continue to skipper the LV= County Championship side in 2015
Collingwood had done some coaching work with England's one-day side under Ashley Giles and may have formed part of the latter's backroom team had he been named as Andy Flower's successor earlier this year.
Paul Collingwood has signed a one-year contract extension with Durham
But the appointment of Peter Moores, supported by Paul Farbrace, meant Collingwood refocused on his Durham duties.
With the county battling relegation Collingwood has scored 518 championship runs, while he has averaged 68 and taken 21 wickets in the Royal London One-Day Cup to help his side to the quarter-finals.
"I had presumed this was going to be my last season but I'm really enjoying my cricket and feel as though I'm still contributing to the team," he said.
"You're a long time retired and I've still got ambitions to take this team forward.
"It really is a special group of guys to be involved with and I don't want to give that up too early.
"We've got a lot to play for in the back end of the season with the quarter-finals and trying to avoid relegation, which would be a huge achievement.
"There is a bigger picture as well which is about having another year to continue to create a culture that will hopefully be around for another five to 10 years. I'm certain that the backbone of this side, with the youngsters coming through, will be strong for years to come."
Durham head coach Jon Lewis added: "Everyone at the club is delighted that Paul will be continuing his career.
"His contribution as a player, leader and character in the dressing room is difficult to measure.
"It is a big lift for everyone knowing that he will be with us next year."

At its 20th Special Meeting from 14 to 21 November 2016 in Vilamoura, Portugal, the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) under the lead of the EU took an impressive number of important decisions. Commissioner Vella said: "I welcome that at its 50th anniversary the second performance review recognises ICCAT's high performance. This means that our efforts to improve international fisheries governance are paying off. I am also very pleased that all Mediterranean countries have agreed to address the dire situation of Mediterranean swordfish by accepting to limit and reduce their catches gradually over 5 years in combination with a comprehensive package of other measures. Bringing back this emblematic species to sustainable levels will benefit many fishermen, including the small scale fleets. But I am also very happy that for the first time ICCAT has agreed to manage sharks through a measure for blue sharks. Unfortunately, though, ICCAT was not yet ready for a shark fins naturally attached policy. However, the high number of supporting countries bodes well for the future."

Conan O'Brien Irishes Up Good Housekeeping's Stew
Conan Irishes Up "His" St. Patrick's Day Stew
Earlier this week I let you in on how Good Housekeeping published Conan O'Brien's recipe. Unfortunately it wasn't actually Conan's recipe and so a feud was born. All week long Conan has been talking about it and creating Irish recipes of his own. I sort of thought it would never end, but last night Good Housekeeping's editor in chief, Rosemary Ellis, decided to pay Conan a visit. She apologized, gave him a lifetime subscription to Good Housekeeping, offered to teach him how to cook the stew, and actually brought some in for him to try.
After tasting it, Conan decided to "Irish it up" a bit. Let's see, what would make it more Irish? How about some Jameson? Perhaps some Guinness, too? If you want to see what he did, we got the clip, watch it when you

In the fall, people often ask how to cook with fresh pumpkin.
You must remember that not all kinds of pumpkins are best for cooking. The jack-o-lantern pumpkins you see everywhere this time of year tend to be too large and stringy for baking. So when you are growing or buying pumpkins, ask if it is a variety that is good to use in cooking.
Kids love Halloween but trick or treating isn't what it used to be. It's not as safe to let kids walk the streets alone. Send a responsible adult or older teenager with them.

The American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR) has named Nancy E. Lane, endowed professor of internal medicine and rheumatology, as this year's recipient of its Paula Stern Achievement Award. The prestigious honor recognizes a woman in the field of bone and mineral metabolism who has made significant scientific achievements and has promoted the professional development and advancement of women in the field.
Lane, who also serves as director of the UC Davis Center for Musculoskeletal Health and directs the university's Building Interdisciplinary Research Careers in Women's Health, is an accomplished clinical care specialist and research scientist. Her research has focuses on both osteoporosis and osteoarthritis, and she leads a translational research team that has been instrumental in defining the role of glucocorticoids in bone fragility.
In 2012, Lane received a $20 million grant from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine to develop a study that will use a patient's own stem cells for the treatment of osteoporosis, the most common type of bone disease. Her novel approach would require only an occasional infusion of a small-molecule drug that will direct bone-forming stem cells to the patient's bone to promote new bone growth. This therapy could be a major advance over the existing and currently approved bone-growth treatment, which requires costly and inconvenient daily injections. Lane plans to launch human clinical trials next year as part of her stem cell research efforts.
Lane was president of the Board of the United States Bone and Joint Decade, co-led the International Bone and Joint Decade Conference in Washington, D.C., and was elected and serves on the councils of the American Society of Bone and Mineral Research and the Orthopedic Research Society. She also serves on the editorial boards of Nature Reviews Rheumatology, Rheumatology, Seminars in Arthritis and Rheumatism, and co-edited research publications such as Arthritis and Rheumatism and the Journal of Rheumatology. Elected to the Association of American Physicians in 2006, Lane has been named to the annual Best Doctors in America list. She also continues to have an active rheumatology practice.
Lane's award will be presented during the annual ASBMR meeting in Baltimore, Maryland, in October. The American Society for Bone and Mineral Research is a professional, scientific and medical society established to bring together clinical and experimental scientists involved in the study of bone and mineral metabolism.

STATEWIDE - The greatest potential for loss of life related to a hurricane is from the storm surge!
Storm surge is simply water that is pushed toward the shore by the force of the winds swirling around the storm. This advancing surge combines with the normal tides to create the hurricane storm tide, which can increase the mean water level to heights impacting roads, homes and other critical infrastructure. In addition, wind driven waves are superimposed on the storm tide. This rise in water level can cause severe flooding in coastal areas, particularly when the storm tide coincides with the normal high tides. Because much of the United States' densely populated Atlantic and Gulf Coast coastlines lie less than 10 feet above mean sea level, the danger from storm tides is tremendous.
The storm surge combined with wave action can cause extensive damage, severely erode beaches and coastal highways. With major storm like Katrina, Camille, and Hugo, complete devastation of coastal communities occurred. Many buildings withstand hurricane force winds until their foundations, undermined by erosion, are weakened and fail.

3-cabin version - standard The Xc 42 comes standard in a 3-cabin version. The symmetrical aft cabins have wardrobes, shelves and cabinets. The engine is the newly developed Yanmar 4JH4 - AE, 4 cyl 54 HP freshwater cooled,with integrated KMG 65E power generator. This removes the need for a dedicated generator compartment, and creates a larger aft cabin volume and wider double berths.
2-cabin version with work station A 2-cabin version is available where the starboard aft cabin has been replaced by a ?work station? and a deep cockpit locker. The work station provides ample space for tools and spare parts, a work tabletop, and improved access to the engine compartment.
As standard, the main cabin has a dedicated Nav station with ample space for modern and conventional navigational and communication equipment, fitted underneath with drawers.
Alternatively, an en suite shower compartment, with access from the starboard head, replaces the dedicated Nav station. The starboard sofa is replaced by two facing armchairs, separated by a Nav table. There is ample space for the switchboard, and for navigational and communication equipment, by the aftmost of these two armchairs.
The V shaped birth with bridge piece utilizes the space well. The head has a separate shower compartment, and there is space for a washing machine.

Wi-Find is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars given to Huang Lee by Wade Heston.
The mission is simple, just drive between the two points until the bars fill up then start hacking. The player must do this four times. Note: after each hack the player gains a wanted level star, so try and lose the heat before attempting another hacking. After doing this four times lose any heat and report back to Heston.
(A meeting with Heston)
Heston: Before my contact was fingered by Internal Affairs he told me our rat's ID is on an encrypted file in the FIB mainframe.You're gonna have to hack in, steal that file, and then cover your tracks before sending it to me.
Huang: What a fucking cliche! Computer hacking and encrypted files? Give me a break.
Heston: A break? Try this. Then I bust a major underworld player look like a hero, and IAD goes away. Then I sell the movie rights and we all get famous, but we don't sell out we remain true to ourselves and we make something of ourselves. Something special that was always there. When the dust settles maybe we can think about revenge.
(Collecting the file)
Huang: You look like someone shat in your bed, what's wrong?
Heston: The Feds have been speaking to two guys: Chan and Zhou. They've been selling each other, and Hsin, to the FIB separately.
Huang: Both of them are rats?
Heston: It doesn't add up: One of them has to be the Wonsu Boss... but which one... I don't know.
Huang: And one of them may have ordered the hit on my father and stole that fucking sword? So, what do we do? Whack both the shits? Arrogant shit then moron shit?
Heston: Not me. I'm done. This is too much of a mess. You take the file to your uncle - it's what he needs to get back in with Hsin. Me - I'm giving up and getting out before IAD finally nail me. I ain't going to get that bust. I guess I should start negotiating with internal affairs. Good luck, buddy.
Huang: I guess the biopic will have to wait for your ego to return?
Mission Replay description
"I chased around the city, hacking into the FIB mainframe to get the file on their rat.
Discovered there were in fact two rats: Chan and Zhou!
Those bastards were both selling the Triads out for their own gain. Gotta admire their balls, really."

IN THE STATE Assembly, which begins its 2013-14 session on Monday, former San Rafael Councilman Marc Levine figures to be a wild card — a rare Democrat elected in November without the support of his party.
Democrats currently hold supermajorities in both chambers of the Legislature that could conceivably allow them to impose new taxes without the support of any Republican members.
"But if there are only a few defections that supermajority can fall apart," said Sonoma State University political science Professor David McCuan. "That makes someone like Marc, with only a few brothers and sisters in the middle, much more important to that outcome."
In a major upset, Levine, 38, defeated Assemblyman Michael Allen to win the 10th District Assembly seat. Levine won despite the fact that the state Democratic Party spent heavily in an attempt to elect Allen. Levine actively courted Republican voters and benefited from spending by two large agricultural trade associations, who opposed Allen due to his support for legislation protecting farmworkers.
Allan Hoffenblum, a Republican political consultant and publisher of the California Target Book, a tipsheet for political insiders, said, "I believe Levine probably got a great many crossover votes from independents and maybe some Republicans too. Levine has the ability to go to Sacramento and be his own person, because he is not beholden to anyone."
On the other hand, Hoffenblum said since liberal Democrats dominate in the 10 District, "One can assume he will reflect that district."
Despite his strong support of Allen, Assembly Speaker John Perez wasted no time mending fences with Levine.
"He called me at 1:30 a.m. the day following the election," Levine said. "He congratulated me then and invited me up to the new member orientation."
Levine has been assigned a coveted location for his new Sacramento office in the Capitol Annex — on the second floor connecting to a patio, next to the office of 2nd District Assemblyman Wes Chesbro, D-Arcata, one of the Legislature's senior members.
Levine said he will focus on financial issues facing the state during his first year in office. Gov. Jerry Brown will release his budget proposal for the new year on Thursday.
"We need to make sure we get the budget right this year," Levine said. "The governor made an explicit promise to keep education whole in his campaign to pass Proposition 30. Voters are expecting that funding for education to be part of the budget.
"There is still pressure on the budget," Levine said. " Even with the passage of Proposition 30, we expect a 1.9 billion deficit. That might grow — so there will still be difficult cuts that will have to be made."
Levine's committee assignments include vice-chair of the Assembly Committee on Local Government. McCuan said given that assignment and the three years Levine spent on the San Rafael City Council, it will be interesting to see how he reacts to the governor's realignment plans.
McCuan said the governor "plans to save a lot of money and transfer a lot of responsibility without much money to local government." He added, "So will Marc have a leadership role in carrying the governor's plans or a leadership role in providing an alternative?"
Levine said he wants to help rebuild trust between state and local government that has been eroded over recent years by the state's confiscation of local tax revenue. He said "new tools and mechanisms" need to be created for local governments to be effective.
"When the state dissolved redevelopment agencies, often for good reasons, new tools were not developed to replace the old tools," Levine said.
During the campaign, Levine criticized the Legislature for not adopting all 12 points of Gov. Jerry Brown's plan to reduce expenditures on public employee pensions. For example, Levine said under the reform plan adopted by the Legislature many local jurisdictions still must get state approval before they can alter their current pension structures.
Levine said he wants to streamline that process "so that local jurisdictions can have a pension program that makes sense for them."
As for those who questioned his commitment to the environment during the election due to his support from agricultural interests who pollute, Levine said, "My care and concern for our natural environment is the very same as it was prior to the campaign."
Regarding the use of "fracking" to access natural gas and oil, Levine said, "Fracking has been going on in California for over 50 years and companies do not need to disclose the chemicals they are injecting into the ground. That has to stop. All of these chemicals should be disclosed to regulators, and I'll support legislation to make that a requirement."

CMAT 249 is a 2-credit core course requirement for all students who declare the Strategic Communication/Public Relations track in CMAT.
Practicum is a "mini-internship" which gives students the opportunity to gain professional experience in an area of interest in the journalism and/or public relations field. Students will learn the day-to-day operations in a specific professional context and have the opportunity to grow as professionals and to further nurture the skills necessary to succeed in a career in that area.
In order to apply for Practicum, students must declare CMAT as their major and J/PR as their track (it must be indicated in Gullnet). Students must also have earned a grade of C or better (a grade must be recorded in Gullnet) for CMAT 248 (Introduction to Public Relations) in order to apply.
After meeting the above prerequisites, students complete a Practicum Application with their academic advisors during a program planning meeting (these meetings are required each October & March). The application gives students a chance to share their career aspirations, the semester in which they desire a Practicum, and their projected graduation date.
The Practicum Director reviews all applications, and based on student aspirations/needs and the availability of relevant Practicum sites, identifies the best place (on-campus, or if the student has transportation, in the community) for the student to engage in Practicum.
There are approximately 35-40 Practicum students placed each semester at over 25 pre-approved and supervised Practicum locations.
Once the Practicum Director matches students with relevant Practicum sites, students are contacted via campus e-mail with their placement information (including information about the site and the supervisor).
Students then contact their prospective Practicum Supervisor and complete a face-to-face interview. Following successful completion of the interview, they negotiate a working contract together.
After the Practicum Director reviews and approves the contract, students are given registration directions. Once students officially register (via Gullnet), they are invited to orientation class sessions for the semester in which they are placed for their Practicum.
In addition to being mentored at the Practicum site, the "class" of Practicum students each semester meets periodically with the Practicum Director for instruction and guidance.
Practicum students complete a substantive graded written mid-term and final project, and Site Supervisors submit written evaluations of the students to the Practicum Director which are assessed as part of the final course grade.
Students must complete one Practicum (for two credits), earning a grade of C or better, as part of their graduation requirements. The 2-credit experience must reflect at least 90 hours of work.
Students are not expected to have expertise in a particular area, but are expected to have interest and enthusiasm about gaining practical experience outside of a traditional classroom environment .
For SC/PR students who are interested in earning credit for an Internship (CMAT 495), earning a C or better in CMAT 249 is one of the pre-requisites. A Practicum and Internship cannot take place at the same site.

The ShinesRooms.com Provides Stock Research on Autodesk Inc. and PTC Inc.
NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - Feb 5, 2013) - The weakness in the global economic environment in the last few years has had a negative impact on the technical and systems software industry. Although the global economy is showing signs of improvement, companies such as Autodesk and PTC Inc. face challenges in the near-term. Since the financial crisis of 2008, the global economy has struggled. The global economic recession in 2009, the Eurozone debt crisis and the fiscal cliff issue in the U.S. have hurt business confidence. Given the weak environment, businesses have cut spending on technology in the last few years.

However, the global economy is showing some signs of improvement. Recent economic data from China has been encouraging. In the U.S., apart from the disappointing fourth quarter GDP data, economic data has generally been solid, pointing to a recovery. The Eurozone has stabilized as concerns over the debt crisis have eased, although the region is still not showing any signs of growth. Finally, the last-minute fiscal cliff deal has lifted sentiment. Despite the positive developments, there are still challenges in the near-term.
A couple of weeks back, PTC reported its financial results for the first quarter ended December 29, 2012. The company's revenue for the first quarter was flat, highlighting the weak economic environment. The company's non-GAAP earnings for the quarter rose 3%, mainly due to an improvement in margins. James Heppelmann, President and CEO of PTC, said then that given the economic environment, the company is pleased with its first-quarter results.
Heppelmann further said that the company continues to be excited about its long-term growth opportunity based on the strength of its pipeline, market acceptance of its products in core markets, as well as significant interest the company is seeing in its broader solution areas. The CEO added that while the slowdown in global manufacturing and uncertainty about near-term economy remains a headwind for revenue growth, the company is committed to driving operating margin expansion.
For the second quarter of fiscal 2013, PTC forecasts non-GAAP revenue to be between $305 million and $325 million, with license revenue expected to be between $70 million and $85 million. Full-year non-GAAP revenue is expected to be between $1.34 billion and $1.37 billion.
Back in November, another player in the Technical & System Software industry, Autodesk, reported disappointing revenue results for its third quarter of fiscal 2013. Carl Bass, the company's CEO, cited weakening demand environment as the reason for the feeble revenue results. Bass noted that while the company experienced pockets of relative strength in the U.S., northern Europe, and Russia, most other markets around the world slowed during the quarter, most notably emerging markets.
Like PTC, Autodesk is also looking to improve operating margin in a weak economic environment. Meanwhile, Autodesk has made some acquisitions to boost its offerings. Earlier this month, the company announced that it would acquire PI-VR in order to strengthen and enhance its expertise in and offerings of automotive visualization. The company also completed the acquisition of Allpoint Systems Technology in January.
Autodesk will be reporting its earnings on February 25th.

Adventures Of A Wizard is a Broadway style magical musical extravaganza for the general public. It helps raise funds for the Portals Of Wonder foundation, the volunteer-driven, 501(c)3 charitable not-for-profit that has brought magic, mime, music and myth to over 10,000 children facing critical illness such as AIDS and cancer, impoverished and homeless youth, and to frail elderly since 1999.
Adventures of a Wizard and the Portals Of Wonder foundation was created and developed by world record holding escape artist, Laurice, and his creative team that includes fellow luminaries from Broadway and Hollywood, as well as volunteers from medicine, social work, education and law.
Laurice's message is that disadvantaged youth need an inspiring message of hope, perseverance and determination anchored in nurturing community, to point a way to making their dreams reality. Illustrating Laurice's message and vision through breath-taking magic, daring escape artistry, and other arts, his team produces cultural programs that build community and deepen life's meaning and purpose for those served. This pioneering project based upon his family tradition, encourages us to, "Follow your true voice and you will be guided to overcome all odds; Dare to do the impossible with integrity, because you deserve to live the life of your dreams, and your life will inspire others."
From shows like Adventures of a Wizard, we also create customized arts education workshops and therapeutic programs in theaters, schools, places of worship, hospitals, homeless shelters and other non-traditional settings. Shows, arts education workshops and therapeutic programs are designed to bring hope, wonder, joy and inspiration into lives that may have lost it.

Channing Tatum's pregnant wife Jenna celebrated the impending arrival of their first child at a special baby shower with her actress friends and fellow moms-to-be, Jamie-Lynn Sigler and Joanna Garcia Swisher.
The expectant mothers, including 7th Heaven star Beverley Mitchell, gathered at Soho House in West Hollywood on 3 March (13) to toast Jenna Dewan-Tatum's bulging belly and guests were treated to vanilla cupcakes as they played trivia games all about the Step Up beauty.
Gushing about the party, Mitchell says, "Everytime we see each other, we get a little bigger. We're all so close, it's fun being pregnant together."
And Dewan-Tatum, who has decided not to find out the sex of her unborn child ahead of his or her birth, will be well-prepared for the baby's arrival, thanks to the pile of gifts she received at the shower.
A source tells Us Weekly, "Jenna got everything from a swanky stroller to cute little socks."
The get-together was planned months ahead of the tot's summer (13) due date as the couple is preparing to jet off to London, where the baby is expected to be born as the Magic Mike hunk shoots his new movie, Jupiter Ascending, in the city.
The insider adds, "Jenna wanted to have the shower with her friends while she still could."
