The global reaction to news that a US panel of experts in psychiatry is proposing to redesign the definition of autism has been nothing short of explosive.
The incendiary move has not only struck fear into the hearts of parents of autistic children but also sparked a wider debate among medics and academics about why diagnostic rates have sky-rocketed.
This is because narrowing the criteria of the definition will have serious ramifications; affecting the status of autistic people within society and, crucially, their access to expensive extra services.
The experts - appointed by the American Psychiatric Association - are in the process of revamping a manual known as the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM V).
According to the New York Times, this will be the first major revision of the DSM - which is the standard reference for mental disorders, research, treatment and insurance decisions - in 17 years.
Although the document is not due to be finalised until the end of 2012, the New York Times notes that one study already predicts the new definition is likely exclude many individuals.
However, the DSM 5 panel "strongly disagrees".
In the 1940s, researchers in the US began to use the word "autism" to identify children exhibiting emotional or social problems but British medics only followed suit in the 60s.
Autism affects how a person communicates with, and relates to, other people as well as how they make sense of the world around them.
Some people are able to live relatively independent lives but others may have learning disabilities requiring specialist support.
For example, something as pedestrian as teeth cleaning requires a parent to carry out an inordinate amount of thought and preparation beforehand because the child "may react badly to care being delivered because of a previous bad experience".
People with Asperger syndrome - a form of autism - possess fewer problems with speech but may still experience difficulties communicating.
About 1 in 100 people in the UK have autism. (The National Autistic Society)
Unsurprisingly, the debate over redefining the incurable condition has exposed deep divisions among medics and families.
Allen Frances, who was the chair of the DSM IV Task Force and is the Professor Emeritus at US-based Duke University, wrote in the Huffington Post "the sudden increase in rates of autism comes from the vagueness and easy elasticity of its definition at the milder boundaries of its spectrum".
He advocates the narrowing of the definition, along with "de-coupling school services from the diagnosis".
"Severe, classic autism is clearly defined and absolutely unmistakable," he concluded.
But Gillian Loughran, Editor of Autism Eye - a magazine for the parents and professionals who care for children with the incurable condition - says DSM V "is being seen within the autism community as a way for governments to curtail the sky-rocketing rate of reported cases of autism worldwide, and with it the need for services and benefits".
She and her publisher husband, Mark Hayes, have spent more than £160,000 on "vital interventions" for their autistic son, Finn.
She added: "We went all the way to the British High Courts twice to fight for early intervention funding.
"The increase in pollution correlates with the rise in autism and chronic toxicity seen in children with autism, which can give rise to the secondary conditions that often affect them, such as inflammatory bowel disease."
Given the dire state of global economies, it is highly unlikely sufferers not categorised as autistic will continue to be provided for as they were prior to the redefinition.
Hence, they will be the losers and governments will be the obvious winners.

As a maintainer of this package, i made an update patch. Please review it and if all is fine commit into pkgsrc. ---cut--- http://openvpn.net/changelog.html 2005.04.17 -- Version 2.0 * Fixed minor options string typo in options.c. 2005.04.10 -- Version 2.0-rc21 * Change license description from "GPL Version 2 or (at your option) any later version" to just "GPL Version 2". 2005.04.04 -- Version 2.0-rc20 * Dag Wieers has put together an OpenVPN/LZO binary RPM set with excellent distro/version coverage for RH/EL/Fedora, though using his own SPEC. I modified openvpn.spec to follow some of the same conventions such as putting sample scripts and doc files in %doc rather than /usr/share/openvpn. * Minor change to init scripts to run the user-defined script /etc/openvpn/openvpn-startup (if it exists) before any OpenVPN configs are started, and to run /etc/openvpn/openvpn-shutdown after all OpenVPN configs have been stopped. The openvpn-startup script can be used for stuff like insmod tun.o, setting up firewall rules, or starting ethernet bridges. 2005.03.29 -- Version 2.0-rc19 * Omit additions of routes where the network and gateway are equal and the netmask is 255.255.255.255. This can come up if you are using both server/ifconfig-pool and client-config-dir with ifconfig-push static addresses for some subset of clients which directly reference the server IP address as the remote endpoint. 2005.03.28 -- Version 2.0-rc18 * Packaged Windows installer with OpenSSL 0.9.7f. * Built Windows installer with NSIS 2.06. 2005.03.12 -- Version 2.0-rc17 * "MANAGEMENT: CMD" log file output will now only occur at --verb 7 or greater. * Added an optional name/value configuration list to the openvpn-auth-pam plugin module argument list. See plugin/auth-pam/README for documentation. This is necessary in order for openvpn-auth-pam to work with queries generated by arbitrary PAM modules. * In both auth-pam and down-root plugins, in the forked process, a read error on the parent process socket is no longer fatal. * MandrakeSoft liblzo1 RPM only Provides for a 'liblzo1'. A conditional test of the vendor has been added to Require the appropriately named 'lzo' (liblzo1 / lzo). (Tom Walsh - http://openhardware.net) 2005.02.20 -- Version 2.0-rc16 * Fixed bug introduced in rc13 where Windows service wrapper would be installed with a startup type of Automatic. This fix restores the previous behavior of installing with a startup type of Manual. 2005.02.19 -- Version 2.0-rc15 * Added warning when --keepalive is not used in a server configuration. * Don't include OpenSSL md4.h file if we are not building NTLM proxy support (Waldemar Brodkorb). * Added easy-rsa/build-key-pkcs12 and easy-rsa/Windows/build-key-pkcs12.bat scripts (Mathias Sundman). 2005.02.16 -- Version 2.0-rc14 * Fixed small memory leak that occurs when --crl-verify is used. * Upgraded Windows installer and .nsi script to NSIS 2.05 (Mathias Sundman). * Changed #include backslash usage in cryptoapi.c to use forward slashes instead (Gisle Vanem). * Created easy-rsa/revoke-full to handle revocations in a single step: (a) revoke crt, (b) regenerate CRL, and (c) verify that revocation succeeded. * Renamed easy-rsa/Windows/revoke-key to revoke-full so that both *nix and Windows scripts are equivalent. 2005.02.11 -- Version 2.0-rc13 * Improve human-readability of local/remote options diff, when inconsistencies are present. * For Windows easy-rsa, distribute vars.bat.sample and openssl.cnf.sample, then copy them to their normal filenames (without the .sample) when init-config.bat is run. This is to prevent OpenVPN upgrades from wiping out vars.bat and openssl.cnf edits. * Modified service wrapper (Windows) to use a case-insensitive search when scanning for .ovpn files in \Program Files\OpenVPN\config. Prior versions required an all-lower-case .ovpn file extension. * Miscellaneous service wrapper code cleanup. * If --user/--group is used on Windows, treat it as a no-op with a warning (this makes it easier to distribute the same client config file to Windows and *nix users). * Warn if --ifconfig-pool-persist is used with --duplicate-cn. 2005.02.05 -- Version 2.0-rc12 * Removed some debugging code inadvertently included in rc11 which would print the --auth-user-pass username/password provided by clients in the server logfile. * Client code for cycling through --remote list will retry the last address which successfully authenticated before moving on through the list. * Windows installer will now install sample configuration files in \Program Files\OpenVPN\sample-configs as well as generate a start menu shortcut to this directory. * Minor type change in buffer.[ch] to work around char-type ambiguity bug. Caused management interface lock-ups on ARM when building with armv4b-hardhat-linux-gcc 2.95.3. 2005.02.03 -- Version 2.0-rc11 * Windows installer will now install easy-rsa directory in \Program Files\OpenVPN * Allow syslog facility to be controlled at compile time, e.g. -DLOG_OPENVPN=LOG_LOCAL6 (P Kern). * Changed certain shell scripts in distribution to use #!/bin/sh rather than #!/bin/bash for better portability. * If --ifconfig-pool-persist seconds parameter is 0, treat persist file as an allocation of fixed IP addresses (previous versions took IP-to-common-name associations from this list as hints, not mandatory static allocations). * Fixed bug on *nix where if --auth-user-pass and --log were used together, the username prompt would be sent to the log file rather than /dev/tty. * Spurious text in openvpn.8 detected by doclifter (Eric S. Raymond). * Call closelog later on daemon kill so that process exit message is written to syslog. 2005.01.27 -- Version 2.0-rc10 * When ./configure is run with plugins enabled (the default), check whether or not dlopen exists in libc before testing for libdl. This is to fix an issue on FreeBSD and possibly other OSes which bundle libdl functions in libc. * On Windows, filter initial WSAEINVAL warning which occurs on the initial read attempt of an unbound socket. * The easy-rsa scripts build-key, build-key-pass, and build-key-server will now chmod the .key file to 0600. This is in addition to the fact the generated keys directory has always been similarly protected (Pete Harlan). 2005.01.23 -- Version 2.0-rc9 * Fixed error "ROUTE: route addition failed using CreateIpForwardEntry ..." on Windows when --redirect-gateway is used over a RRAS internet link. * When using --route-method exe on Windows, include the gateway parameter on route delete commands (Mathias Sundman). * Try not to do a hard reset (i.e. SIGHUP) when two SIGUSR1 signals are received in close succession. * If the push list tries to grow beyond its buffer capacity, the resulting error will be non-fatal. * To increase the push list capacity (must be done on both client and server), increase TLS_CHANNEL_BUF_SIZE in common.h (default=1024). 2005.01.15 -- Version 2.0-rc8 * Fixed bug introduced in rc7 where options error "--auth-user-pass requires --pull" might occur even if --pull was correctly specified. * Changed management interface code to bind once to TCP socket, rather than rebinding after every client disconnect. * Added "disable" directive for client-config-dir files. * Windows binary install is now distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7e. * Query the management interface for --http-proxy username/password if authfile is set to "stdin". * Added current OpenVPN version number to "Unrecognized option or missing parameter" error message. * Added "-extensions server" to "openssl req" command in easy-rsa/build-key-server (Nir Yeffet). 2005.01.10 -- Version 2.0-rc7 * Fixed bug in management interface which could cause 100% CPU utilization in --proto tcp-server mode on all *nix OSes except for Linux 2.6. * --ifconfig-push now accepts DNS names as well as IP addresses. * Added sanity check errors when --pull or --auth-user-pass is used in an incorrect mode. * Updated man page entries for --client-connect and --ifconfig-push. * Added "String Types and Remapping" section to man page to consisely document the way which OpenVPN may convert certain types of characters in strings to ('_'). * Modified bridging description in HOWTO to emphasize the fact that bridging allows Windows file and print sharing without a WINS server (Charles Duffy). 2004.12.20 -- Version 2.0-rc6 * Improved checking for epoll support in ./configure to fix false positive on RH9 (Jan Just Keijser). * Made the "MULTI TCP: I/O wait required blocking in multi_tcp_action, action=7" error nonfatal and replaced with "MULTI: Outgoing TUN queue full, dropped packet". So far the issue only seems to occur on Linux 2.2 in --mode server --proto tcp mode. It occurs when the TUN/TAP driver locks up and refuses to accept new packet writes for a second or more. * Fixed bug where if a --client-config-dir file tried to include another file using "config", and if that include failed, OpenVPN would abort with a fatal error. Now such inclusion failures will be logged but are no longer fatal. * Global changes to the way that packet buffer alignment is handled. Previously we didn't care about alignment and took care, when handling 16 and 32 bit words in buffers, to always use alignment-safe transfers. This approach appears to be inadequate on some architectures such as alpha. The new approach is to initialize packet buffers in a way that anticipates how component structures will be allocated within them, to maintain correct alignment. * Added --dhcp-option DISABLE-NBT to disable NetBIOS over TCP (Jan Just Keijser). * Added --http-proxy-option directive for controlling miscellaneous HTTP proxy options. * Management state will no longer transition to "WAIT" during TLS renegotiations. 2004.12.16 -- Version 2.0-rc5 * The --client-config-dir option will now try to open a default file called "DEFAULT" if no file matching the common name of the incoming client was found. * The --client-connect script/plugin can now veto client authentication by returning a failure code. * The --learn-address script/plugin can now prevent a client-instance/address association from being learned by returning a failure code. * Changed RPM group in .spec file to Applications/Internet. 2004.12.14 -- Version 2.0-rc4 * SuSE only -- Fixed interaction between openvpn.spec and suse/openvpn.init where the .spec file was writing the OpenVPN binary to a different location than where the .init script was referencing it (Stefan Engel). * Solaris only -- Split Solaris ifconfig command into two parts (Jan Just Keijser). * Some cleanup in add_option(). * Better error checking on input dotted quad IP addresses. * Verify that --push argument is quoted, if there is more than one. * More miscellaneous option sanity checks. 2004.12.13 -- Version 2.0-rc3 * On Windows, when --log or --log-append is used, save the original stderr for username and password prompts. * Fixed a bug introduced in the late 2.0 betas where if a "verb" parameter >= 16 was used, it would be ignored and the actual verb level would remain at 1. * Fixed a bug mostly seen on OS X where --management-hold or --management-query-passwords would cause the management interface to be unresponsive to incoming client connections. * Trigger an options error if one of the management-modifying options is used without "management" itself. 2004.12.12 -- Version 2.0-rc2 * Amplified warnings in documentation about possible man-in-the-middle attack when clients do not properly verify server certificate. Changes to easy-rsa README, FAQ, HOWTO, man page, and sample client config file. * Added a warning message if --tls-client or --client is used without also specifying one of either --ns-cert-type, --tls-remote, or --tls-verify. * status_open() fixes for MSVC builds (Blaine Fleming). * Fix attempt of "ntlm.c:55: error: `des_cblock' undeclared" compiler error which has been reported on some platforms. * The openvpn.spec file for rpmbuild has several new build-time options. See comments in the file. * Plugins are now built and packaged in the RPM and will be saved in /usr/share/openvpn/plugin/lib. * Added --management-hold directive to start OpenVPN in a hibernating state until released by the management interface. Also added "hold" command to the management interface. ---cut--- >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: ---cut--- Index: Makefile =================================================================== RCS file: /cvsroot/pkgsrc/net/openvpn-current/Makefile,v retrieving revision 1.13 diff -u -r1.13 Makefile --- Makefile 11 Apr 2005 21:46:53 -0000 1.13 +++ Makefile 16 May 2005 09:57:50 -0000 @@ -1,13 +1,12 @@ # $NetBSD: Makefile,v 1.13 2005/04/11 21:46:53 tv Exp $ # -DISTNAME= openvpn-2.0_rc1 -PKGNAME= ${DISTNAME:S/_//} +DISTNAME= openvpn-2.0 CATEGORIES= net -MASTER_SITES= ${MASTER_SITE_SOURCEFORGE:=openvpn/} +MASTER_SITES= http://openvpn.net/release/ MAINTAINER= firstname.lastname@example.com -HOMEPAGE= http://openvpn.sourceforge.net/ +HOMEPAGE= http://openvpn.net/ COMMENT= Easy-to-use SSL VPN daemon GNU_CONFIGURE= yes @@ -26,6 +25,8 @@ CONFIGURE_ARGS+= --enable-multi CONFIGURE_ARGS+= --sysconfdir=${PKG_SYSCONFDIR} +REPLACE_PERL= sample-scripts/auth-pam.pl sample-scripts/verify.cn + .include "../../archivers/liblzo/buildlink3.mk" .include "../../security/openssl/buildlink3.mk" .include "../../mk/pthread.buildlink3.mk" @@ -38,16 +39,16 @@ post-install: ${INSTALL_DATA_DIR} ${EGDIR} ${INSTALL_DATA_DIR} ${EGDIR}/config - cd ${WRKSRC}/sample-config-files; for file in *; do \ - ${INSTALL_DATA} $$file ${EGDIR}/config; \ + cd ${WRKSRC}/sample-config-files; for f in *; do \ + ${INSTALL_DATA} $$f ${EGDIR}/config; \ done ${INSTALL_DATA_DIR} ${EGDIR}/scripts - cd ${WRKSRC}/sample-scripts; for file in *; do \ - ${INSTALL_DATA} $$file ${EGDIR}/scripts; \ + cd ${WRKSRC}/sample-scripts; for f in *; do \ + ${INSTALL_DATA} $$f ${EGDIR}/scripts; \ done ${INSTALL_DATA_DIR} ${EGDIR}/keys - cd ${WRKSRC}/sample-keys; for file in *; do \ - ${INSTALL_DATA} $$file ${EGDIR}/keys; \ + cd ${WRKSRC}/sample-keys; for f in *; do \ + ${INSTALL_DATA} $$f ${EGDIR}/keys; \ done .include "../../mk/bsd.pkg.mk" Index: PLIST =================================================================== RCS file: /cvsroot/pkgsrc/net/openvpn-current/PLIST,v retrieving revision 1.3 diff -u -r1.3 PLIST --- PLIST 2 May 2005 20:34:03 -0000 1.3 +++ PLIST 16 May 2005 09:57:50 -0000 @@ -33,7 +33,9 @@ share/examples/openvpn/scripts/openvpn.init share/examples/openvpn/scripts/verify-cn share/examples/rc.d/openvpn +@comment dirrm share/examples/rc.d @dirrm share/examples/openvpn/scripts @dirrm share/examples/openvpn/keys @dirrm share/examples/openvpn/config -@dirrm share/examples/openvpn +@exec ${MKDIR} %D/etc/openvpn +@dirrm etc/openvpn Index: distinfo =================================================================== RCS file: /cvsroot/pkgsrc/net/openvpn-current/distinfo,v retrieving revision 1.5 diff -u -r1.5 distinfo --- distinfo 24 Feb 2005 12:13:58 -0000 1.5 +++ distinfo 16 May 2005 09:57:50 -0000 @@ -1,5 +1,6 @@ $NetBSD: distinfo,v 1.5 2005/02/24 12:13:58 agc Exp $ -SHA1 (openvpn-2.0_rc1.tar.gz) = 7f0a6de121ee269376c09479a7d75bfd923e3668 -RMD160 (openvpn-2.0_rc1.tar.gz) = e9e5c299abb25b1c7dea333605686b77b98ce470 -Size (openvpn-2.0_rc1.tar.gz) = 637549 bytes +SHA1 (openvpn-2.0.tar.gz) = 76f3c37681e9626cc67ab37f57dea60dd9221308 +RMD160 (openvpn-2.0.tar.gz) = 52f9137b3ef3b7d7db3f4bdf7d29e2655dfcb5a9 +Size (openvpn-2.0.tar.gz) = 639201 bytes +SHA1 (patch-aa) = 3c57106b1ef000f2a7dbaad734e54f60bf2230a3 ---cut--- New patch-aa: ---patch-aa--- $NetBSD$ --- crypto.h.orig 2005-04-11 10:43:55.000000000 +0700 +++ crypto.h @@ -52,8 +52,12 @@ #endif #if SSLEAY_VERSION_NUMBER >= 0x00907000L +#ifdef __NetBSD__ +#include <openssl/des.h> +#else #include <openssl/des_old.h> #endif +#endif #include "basic.h" #include "buffer.h" ---patch-aa--- >Unformatted: To: firstname.lastname@example.com Subject: Update net/openvpn-current package From: firstname.lastname@example.com Reply-To: firstname.lastname@example.com X-send-pr-version: 3.95

Walker's last race in pole position
Paul Walker's final racing adventure has taken pole position at the worldwide box office.
Fast And Furious 7, also starring Vin Diesel, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Jason Statham, has scored the biggest franchise opening for the films, after amassing 384 million US dollars (£257 million) around the world.
Walker died in a car crash in November 2013, during a break while making the action movie, and the actor's brothers Caleb and Cody stepped in to help complete some scenes.
The latest instalment of the car-loving franchise, which also stars Michelle Rodriguez, Chris "Ludacris" Bridges and Tyrese Gibson, took 143.6 million US dollars (£96 million) in the United States and Canada, and £15.6 million in the UK on its opening weekend, which includes Easter Monday.
It is the fourth highest opening of all time globally, beaten only by two Harry Potter films and Avengers Assemble, and is the second biggest opening for Universal in the UK in 2015, behind Fifty Shades Of Grey.
Fast And Furious 7, featuring a tribute to Walker, has already surpassed the lifetime runs of previous films in the series, including The Fast And The Furious, 2 Fast 2 Furious, The Fast And The Furious: Tokyo Drift and Fast And Furious - and is sure to beat Fast And Furious 6's UK record of £25.3 million.
Phil Contrino, vice president and chief analyst at BoxOffice.com, said: "This is a bittersweet instalment in the franchise. Walker's passing made this movie more intriguing for people who hadn't seen some of the instalments. It raised awareness and its success is a tribute to him."

The Earthscan Reader on World Transport Policy and Practice (Earthscan Reader Series)
Transport is now a critical problem throughout the world, and it is set to get worse. Whether it is traffic congestion, crashes (10 million killed and injured each year), noise, air pollution, landscape destruction, or greenhouse gas emissions (of which transport is the fastest-growing source), the damage and the costs from our current forms of transport are dangerously high and getting worse. Policies and practical measures that can reduce and eliminate these problems are urgently needed. This Reader contains 16 important contributions on how to improve transport globally. They are based on sound science, sound people-centred analysis, and a strong awareness of equity and human rights. And they have been selected for their originality, the importance of the issues they focus on, the quality of their insight and their practical relevance. A further 7 commissioned chapters provide informative overviews of the transport problems specific to each region of the world, while the editors' Introduction and Conclusion frames the discussion and lays out the scale of the challenges we face. As a whole, the Reader demonstrates what steps can be taken to improve both transport provision and use, in both the developed and the developing world, while reducing environmental and health impacts. It will serve as an invaluable sourcebook for anyone researching or attempting to address the issues associated with world transport policy and practice, whether students, planners, business people or policy-makers.

Beer no longer Aussies' favourite?
It seems the Aussies are watching their weight and fitness as the sale of beer in Australia has gone down dramatically in the past 12 months, and the wet weather, metrosexual men, changing tastes and rising living costs are being blamed for it.india Updated: Feb 22, 2011 23:07 IST
The sale of beer in Australia has gone down dramatically in the past 12 months, and the wet weather, metrosexual men, changing tastes and rising living costs are being blamed for it.
Beer consumption plummeted at a record rate in the second half of 2010, falling by an estimated 7% in the six months to December.
Brewers blame rising interest rates and utility bills for squeezing household budgets and leaving less money to spend on alcohol, in addition to wet weather and storms.
Fosters Group expects the industry to continue to suffer in the next six months, forecasting beer sales to fall by a further 3 to 4% by the end of June, taking it to a whopping 10 percent down.
Fosters, which owns VB, Carlton and Crown, says drinkers have also become more "promiscuous" in their habits, and are branching out into other beverages.
"People are being tempted by cider, especially on ice, which is an exported trend from the UK, or to premium beers, and wines," the Daily Telegraph quoted a company spokesman as saying.
"Plus we''ve had a lot of wet weather and that has had an impact, so we''ve fallen down below the long-term trend, although we expect to bounce back in the not too distant future," he said.
Lion Nathan, owner of brands such as Tooheys and XXXX, blames interest rates and the weather for the declining sales.
"Beer sales were up very strongly in 2009, so the fall in 2010 looks disproportionately big. We expect sales to return to long-term trend next year," a spokesman said.
But industry analysts are sceptical about claims wet weather has impacted sales.
"Wet weather does not have as much of an effect on beer sales as cold weather," a Citibank analyst said.
"Every one degree change in temperature can affect beer sales by 2 to 3%.
"And although rainfall does influence demand, it has less impact on the need to relieve thirst than temperature and sunshine hours.
"We believe the recent floods in Queensland and other states will have limited impact," the analyst said.
However, Sydney drinkers say there are other reasons why beer is not a good fit in a city where a proportion of the population watches their weight and fitness.

NORTH NEWTON, KAN. - Bethel College Dance Ensemble will host a Dance Festival April 25 and 26 to celebrate National Dance Week. A dance concert, contra dance and dance competition are scheduled for the festival. "Dancing is a great way to have fun and get exercise. It's also a way for us to learn about other peoples and cultures. The intent of this festival is to raise the visibility of dance in our local community," says Bethel College dance instructor Tiffany Jefferson.
Bethel College Dance Ensemble will present a dance concert at 7 p.m., Friday, April 25 in Memorial Hall at Bethel College, North Newton.
Bethel performers include freshman Kara M. Schmidt from North Newton and Janelle Steiner from Albany, Ore.; sophomores Bethany Amstutz from Goessel and Leah Larson from Clay Center; juniors Sara Flaming from Newton, Lauren Gillis from Colorado Springs, Colo., and Maria Tschetter from Freeman, S.D.
A contra dance in Memorial Hall will follow the dance concert. Admission to the concert and dance is $5 for adults, $3 for students. Children under 12 will be admitted with no charge.
A dance competition will be held at 2 p.m., Saturday, April 26 in Memorial Hall. Competitions will be held in the following categories: ballet, tap, jazz, hip hop, lyrical, modern and clogging. The public is invited to participate. Admission is $5 for adults, $3 for children. Children under 12 will be admitted with no charge.
Wichita State University dance classes will also perform on Friday. Newton Dance Center will participate on Friday and Saturday.
"It's my dream that we can turn this festival into an annual event at Bethel College," Jefferson says. Founded in 1981 by several national dance organizations, National Dance Week began as a way to motivate the public to participate in dance.

Thank you for publishing two excellent columns on page A7 Wednesday. Geoff Kirsch and Leonard Pitts Jr. have each stated well the need for American public discourse to return to honest, open, and civil discussion.
Sure, people have always shouted at each other, waved signs in protest, and disagreed noisily and passionately. But never in my lifetime have I witnessed the level of demagoguery that occurs at all levels of our daily lives. Whether it is the radio talk jocks or the Fox News commentators, Senators or ex-governors, too much of public discussion centers on simplistic and emotional pitches that put the worst TV commercials to shame.
The need for rational discussion on critical public issues is one reason I strongly support Scott McAdams to be our next U.S. Senator. From what I have read and heard (and I am an admitted political junkie), Joe Miller will do nothing to advance the quality of debate. His campaign of half-truths and shallow attacks, supported by outside extremists, shows that he will go to Washington and fit in perfectly with the do-nothings and know-nothings that have managed to turn the Senate into a molasses factory. Scott McAdams, on the other hand, is the kind of solid Alaskan who can sit down with anyone and have a real conversation about the best way to solve a problem - exactly what this state and this country needs. Both sides of any argument need to stake out their positions clearly and vigorously. But they then need to be able to work towards constructive solutions. Our needs are great and without civil discourse, we will run out of time to move forward.
Before you vote, think seriously about how your vote will affect our state and our country and whether you are supporting more shouting or more problem solving. I hope you choose the latter.

Kelly Osbourne fetes Material Girl at Macy's
I like to think of Kelly Osbourne as the accidental fashion icon. In front of our eyes, she's gone from awkward teenager, to taut and toned "Dancing With The Stars" darling, to red-carpet commentator and fashion-campaign frontwoman -- always with an irreverent wit that makes her totally endearing. She's also a singer, an actress, an author and a fashion designer, for those who are keeping track (her Stiletto Killers label closed a few years back.) And she's only 26!
Her new gig as the face of the Material Girl collection for Macy's, designed by Lourdes Ciccone and mama Madonna, came about after Lourdes (or Lola, as she is known), wrote about Kelly's style on her blog. That led to a meeting, a deal, a photo shoot at the Mars Bar in New York City's East Village, and the cute ads out now. (A behind-the-scenes video of the shoot can be seen at the Material Girl Collection website.
The Material Girl collection is aimed at the junior set, those who are too young to remember the song Madonna made famous in 1985. Pieces include a faux suede fringed vest ($36), rose print miniskirt ($24); denim bustier ($26); sequin patch leggings ($22) and gladiator wedge-heel sandals ($44).
Osbourne is taking her latest starring role in stride. "I want to make it very clear, I am not a fashion model," she said before a personal appearance at Macy's at the Beverly Center on Thursday night. "Every girl, no matter who you are or where you grew up, you fantasize about stuff like this. I was standing there [at the photo shoot] doing all the poses I do alone in my room!"
Now that she has a better hold on the fashion thing, she has her definite pet peeves -- and not just on the red carpet, which she critiques for E!'s "Fashion Police." "I can't stand cool girls. There is no such thing as cool, as being the 'It' girl. I am not cool. I don't want to be. It's so much effort. I'm not into having to have the perfect indie outfit and reading Kurt Vonnegut, and going on long walks in Los Feliz. Beverly Hills girls in Los Feliz, I can't stand it!"
As she prepares to head out to meet her fans, I ask what most girls want to know about her? "I don't know! On Twitter, they usually want to know how I lost weight or what color lipstick I'm wearing."
Not that she fancies a life outside of the spotlight. "I have never not been in the spotlight.... I grew up and I was the weird kid whose father was the Satanist who bit the heads off bats. I don't know what normal feels like."
Tell it like it is, Kelly. I nominate you to be the next-generation Oprah.
-- Booth Moore

Plasma Astrophysics (International School of Physics ""Enrico Fermi"", 142)
This book illustrates new developments in the fields of space and solar physics, stellar physics, extragalactic physics and cosmology. It also elaborates upon the progress of laboratory plasma physics. One of the topics discussed is the existence of collective processes, both linear and non-linear, that can explain key elements of accretion physics, magnetic reconnection, the formation of "strange" particle distributions, particle scattering phenomena, etc. Astrophysical plasma are dominated by turbulent or quasi-turbulent processes which interactively associate instabilities, radiation processes and plasma-wave scattering. The resulting scenario, which is outside thermodynamics and conventional statistical physics, is too difficult to describe theoretically, but today there are large-scale experiments and powerful computational tools allowing for the exploration of an almost similarly complex variety of phenomena. Several contributions to this book present indications of the influence of nonlinear phenomena in astrophysical applications. This will be one of the mainlines in the future of plasma astrophysics. This work marks the fast growth of plasma astrophysics thanks to wonderous new observations in the high energy band of the spectrum on the one hand and the possibility of validating and bringing to light relevant new theories by increasingly sophisticated machines on the other.

With only a garden shovel, a man attempted to dig through a giant pile of concrete rubble as the Caribbean sun lowered behind him.
For Lawrence Memorial Hospital nurse Karin Feltman, the magnitude of that man's task was echoed in the kaleidoscope of images she saw throughout Haiti.
"It is going to be years and years and years — even with the level of help that is going on right now — for them to rebuild," Feltman said of the country's road toward recovery after last month's devastating earthquake.
On Tuesday evening, just hours after her plane landed in Kansas City and with her bags still in the living room, Feltman sat at home and talked about her weeklong medical mission trip to Haiti.
Her first full day in the country included the sound of nearby gunfire as security troops fired into the air to control crowds that were rioting during food drop-offs.
The trip ended with a 16-hour wait on a hot tarmac for a flight out of Haiti. That flight came in the form of a C-17 Air Force jet. Using cargo straps for seat belts, Feltman and more than 400 other passengers sat on the cold metal bottom of the plane for the two-hour flight to Orlando, Fla.
Working with One Heart Ministries International, Feltman was among a group of Kansas City-area nurses who worked in medical clinics in the tent cities of Carrefour, one of Port-au-Prince's poorest neighborhoods. The clinics treated around 2,000 people.

LMH nurse helps in Haiti
Much of what Feltman saw was heartbreaking. Parts of the city still smelled of death and people had built living quarters in the 2- to 3-feet-wide medians along congested roadways. She met a patient who was trapped in rubble for three days. His children had suffocated beneath him.
Feltman also witnessed moments of hope and compassion. Two babies were delivered. One was born in the doorway of a building because the mother was still afraid to go inside a structure.
A 14-year-old girl who had lost several fingers was able to save her thumb. The girl's injuries hadn't been treated since the day of the earthquake, but she was afraid her hand would be amputated if she went to a hospital.
"She left with tears streaming down her face, (saying) 'merci, merci, merci,'" Feltman said.
Feltman helped fill bags of rice, beans, sugar and oil. In all, it was enough to feed 3,200 people.
But it was more than food and medicine Feltman was sharing.
"We can give them hope and we can give them a sense that other people know what they are going through and care about them," she said.
A 13-year veteran of LMH's emergency room, Feltman has served on medical mission trips in Mississippi, Kenya, Honduras and Malawi.
Going on 34 hours of no sleep Tuesday evening, Feltman had plans of eating a good dinner at La Familia restaurant, catching a much-needed night of rest and then reporting to work at LMH as a patient advocate in the morning. But she fully intends to return to Haiti some day soon.
"It is exhausting and you are happy to be home," she said. "But every time I am on the plane (home), I find myself planning where am I going to go next and what am I going to do. Because it really does energize me."

I have a 2010 GT 6000. This mowing season, the battery started getting weak and needed charging in order to start. Last month I replaced the battery from one at Sears. I charged it fully, used it mowing and now three weeks later it was dead (only about 11% charge on it). I jumped it off and it was in use mowing for about two hours. Immediately after that, the battery was still dead. I 'm thinking something in the electrical charging system. Any suggestions? Thank you.

Welcome to the forum! Have you got a Model # (should start with 917.???? or similar)? Might be able to go to Sears Parts online to get a wiring diagram. May be as simple as a fuse has blown or bad connection somewhere.
Posted September 16, 2014 - 08:42 AM
Welcome, I have the older Craftsman models, and with the correct 917.xxxx model I am sure I can help. The Model # should be under the seat.

Look, it's Friday. We mentally checked out sometime yesterday before noon. So let's rely on other peoples' work! Because this mess is exciting (that is a serious understatement).
Check this big story from Phillip Bailey and Kristina Goetz:
The Federal Bureau of Investigation is looking for potential misconduct in Louisville Metro government, questioning several lawmakers and quizzing others about council activities.
Four Metro council members—all contacted independently—and a council aide confirmed with WFPL and the Kentucky Center for Investigative Reporting that they had spoken with agents as part of a federal inquiry into Metro government.
FBI agents also attended a Metro Ethics Commission meeting this week and interviewed a local political activist who has filed ethics complaints against two councilmen.
The agents expressed a broad interest in Metro government, according to those interviewed. An agent also sent an introductory e-mail last week to a Metro council member.
Here's a big one:
In recent weeks, investigators asked about ethics complaints filed against Council President Jim King, said another council member. That source said the FBI asked about King's business dealings as they relate to the Metro Council and his personal income. The agents didn't elaborate, the source said.

Margaret - posted on 06/28/2012 ( 28 moms have responded )
I am floored. My dear boy (age fifteen) and a girl we have known since they were in preschool together are suddenly a couple, or they would be if I didn't forbid it.
Turns out the last several weeks she has been staying on our property overnight a lot, without me knowing though my husband was aware and helped my son get her a key to our guest cottage, supposedly to keep her save.
This girl has had a really tough life so far, her father died when she was six and her mother became a complete mess with an endless parade of loser boyfriends, the latest of which apparently tried to rape her.
I just learned that my son saved her there, confronting the creep after getting a desperate text from her, same way he took it upon himself to protect her for years in school from the relentless teasing and abuse she got, being as vulnerable as she is and perceived to be more then a bit weird.
Now they claim they are "in love".
I am just devastated that this girl would betray us in this way, by trying to have some romantic or (God forbid) sexual notions for my son.
I didn't mind them being just friends. I always thought they had more a brother/sister type of relationship. He has always been there for her, helping her and protecting her.
Vast throngs of girls have been after him for what seems like ages. I can understand why, he's very handsome, tall and athletic, well groomed, straight A student, articulate, mature and well mannered.
But my son has not been allowed to have a girlfriend, period.
My husband is no help, he claims that he knew they were in love long before they did and has no problem with it, thinks that is was inevitable and that our son caring for her is really the best thing that's ever happened to her.
I want him to concentrate on studies and achievements and not take any risk of being sidetracked by some little girl and her personal agenda. I don't want his life ruined. I want to protect him.
I am deathly afraid they're going to have sex (if they're not already) and she's going to allow herself to get pregnant just to get out of the rotten life she's got.
Despite her issues I feel she is a good kid, smart and pretty and deserves better then the hand she was dealt. But she still can't have my son.

Some really cool ideas in here, but it sounds really mechanical. To add some expression, try a few of the following.
-Change velocities from note to note. No piano player makes everything the exact same volume, even within a single measure. Crescendos and decrescendos make such a huge difference in communicating a musical idea.
-Tempo. Everything in here is perfectly in time like a robot. edit the tempo event and draw in some changes to make the music breath. Slow down a little bit at the end of phrases. At parts like 2:01, start fast and slow down toward the end of the run to be really dramatic. Oh my gosh, it would sound so awesome to do that...
-Simulate the sustain pedal. Pianists hold down a foot pedal that makes notes ring out, creating some really lush, beautiful harmonies. One way to simulate this in a sequencer is to drag each note value out so that they keep sounding after being initially played. Make the notes hold out until the chord is done (probably one whole measure for most of this piece) so that it sounds nice but does not become too muddy. Pedal alone will take this from being okay to great.
-Using velocities, bring out the important parts and lower the volume of the less important parts. For instance, the trill at :46 could come down a little bit because it is a decorative ornament, and the left hand could come up. In other spots, the melody could come up and the left hand arpeggios could come down in volume. This will create clarity and a sense of texture in the music.
What I do like is how effectively you utilize different registers of the piano. You use the entire range of the piano to evoke different tone colors. I also like some of the transitions and runs.
Take the time to make it sound more human and it will sound ten times better. Keep trying your hand at piano pieces! :D
(I still voted 5/5 on this, because the arranging is pretty good. I just wanted to give you some helpful tips that have been good to me in the past)
Ahh, those are great tips, thank you! I don't really have access to a midi keyboard that often so I've only uploaded two songs or so, so far where I'm actually playing. I usually just use a mouse and click away if I don't have one available at the time to use.
I'll try to incorporate your suggestions in my next piano piece. :3
Great job! Love the light feel that was created with this piece and the transitions between separate melodies was clean.
Thanks for the kind words. :]
Aaaah, I love a good piano piece. Been thinking about making one myself. At about 1:40 I couldn't help but picture the desert area in Zelda. Great job! It was a wonderful piece.
Piano only pieces are really great. Let me know if you come up with something, I'd love to hear it.
Please contact me if you would like to use this in a project. We can discuss the details.

Almost anything can be risky or dangerous. Highway accidents occur every day, but they don't stop most people from driving. Pedestrians get hit by cars and slip on ice, but that doesn't stop people from walking.
Bad things sometimes happen when people boat, hike, bike, hunt or fish, but they still enjoy the outdoors and all it has to offer. People get hurt doing the most mundane and routine of chores, but nobody calls for a moratorium on chores.
Today's information highway carries its own set of dangers, but that doesn't mean the Internet is an inherently dangerous place. Like other activities, the risks of traveling in cyberspace can be minimized with lots of common sense and some knowledge of how to avoid the Internet's pitfalls.
In today's Clarion is a story about a Web site, Myspace.com, popular with teenagers. The site has received national attention because of allegations that sexual predators found their victims through it. A lot maybe even most of what the kids post is typical teen stuff. But some of it is likely to raise an eyebrow or two among adults. And it should.
Our hope is the story you read today will prompt some family discussions about what is and is not appropriate information for the Web. We hope parents will ask their teens about their profiles and their friends' profiles. We hope parents will set guidelines about what their children should share on the Web. We hope parents and kids will talk about how to minimize the dangers and maximize the benefits of the Web.
What we don't want to happen is for parents to pull the plug on Internet use because of the bad things that could happen or because some kids share inappropriate information.
The Internet provides a wealth of information to users, and it does connect people continents away from each other with a virtual click.
However, just as there are rules of the road for driving, parents should establish some rules for Internet use in their household to protect their children. Like it is for most things, the Internet is a great source of information for online safety. Here are a few of the "golden rules":
Never give out identifying information name, age, address, phone number or school name.
Become familiar with the Internet and the sites and services your child uses. Learn your child's user names and passwords.
Never respond to messages that are suggestive, obscene, threatening or make you feel uncomfortable.
Do not open any links contained in an e-mail from people you don't know.
Don't believe everything you read online. People online may not be who they seem, and online offers that seem too good to be true probably are.
Set reasonable rules and guidelines for computer use for your children. Monitor the time your children spend on the computer and if possible keep the computer in a family room.
Get to know your children's online friends just as you would their other friends.
Parenting never was an easy job. The Internet adds some challenges to parental duties, but the fact is parents who take responsibility for their children's time in cyberspace greatly reduce the risks they may encounter there.

The View from atop the High Bridge
Back in October as part of the Walk21 conference, I was very lucky to be able to accompany a small group of international pedestrian experts on an exclusive walking tour of the High Bridge, which has been closed to the public for nearly 40 years. Since Streetfilms is all about sharing, we interviewed a few folks-in-the-know and have posted the breathtaking experience of what it was like being up there.
Not soon after starting as a volunteer for Transportation Alternatives back in the 1990s I can recall reading of a push to open the High Bridge during a postcard campaign directed at then Parks Commissioner Henry Stern in 1998. In the years since, there have been many community groups, non-profits, and public agencies which have gotten involved in raising public awareness and advocating for its re-opening. City Parks Foundation, The High Bridge Coalition, and C.L.I.M.B. just to name a few.
Although over the years there have been many announced target opening dates and talk of getting the capital funds needed, of recent there is much momentum. Very early in 2010, community input and design will finally begin. Then we can hope it will not be long until we can all walk and bike across this magnificent structure.
Clarence Eckerson Jr.: [0:05] I am standing right in front of the High Bridge, a viaduct that's been closed for almost 40 years here in New York City. As part of the Walk 21 Conference, I was allowed to go up there and take some video with an international group of pedestrian experts to see what it's like.
David Rivel: [0:22] High Bridge is the oldest bridge in New York, and a lot of people are surprised to hear that. It was built in the 1850s as part of the old aqueduct system that delivered fresh water to New York City. [music]
Laura Gabby: [0:43] We're standing right now in High Bridge Park in Manhattan, and the bridge itself connects us to the High Bridge Park in the Bronx, and the High Bridge neighborhood of the Bronx.
David Rivel: [0:52] The job of City Parks Foundation was really to get the community to understand that there was this wonderful resource here, that if it was only fixed up could be a great thing for the community.
Laura Gabby: [1:03] We've organized an event called Hike the Heights. Our partner organizations start at different points throughout the parks of northern Manhattan, hike the climb trail, and converge here. [1:12] We've also partnered with organizations in the Bronx. Some of those organizations come over to Hike the Heights, and usually have to take the Washington Bridge. Opening up the High Bridge would allow them to walk directly over the High Bridge.
David Rivel: [1:25] It opens up a great transportation link. It's actually the only pedestrian walkway that connects the island of Manhattan to the continental United States. So, fixing up the bridge is just a great resource for the community in the Bronx, the community in Manhattan, and people from all over who want to come and enjoy it. [music]
Noah Budnick: [1:49] With the reopening of the High Bridge on the horizon, TA, and Bronx, and Northern Manhattan cyclists are getting really excited, because it's been a sought after route for commuters and cyclists and walkers for decades.
Laura Gabby: [2:03] The most recent is that this staircase and this path were just opened a year ago by Mayor Bloomberg. Before that, there was no way to get down here without really scrambling, and tracking through poison ivy, and making it a real hike.
David Rivel: [2:20] If experience shows from other bridges that have been reopened, the bike use is going to boom. The Manhattan Bridge was closed since World War II, and when that bridge reopened, bike use skyrocketed. And now, the Manhattan Bridge is the second most cycled bridge in the city. [music]
Noah Budnick: [2:41] It's such a perspective on the city, and it's so beautiful, I just can't wait until it's finally open for everybody.

Knoxville (WVLT) - Nearly three years after the murder of 21 year-old Johnia Berry, the Knox County Sheriff's office has made an arrest in the case.
Sheriff Jimmy "J.J." Jones announced the arrest of 22 year-old Taylor Lee Olson on Knoxville. He's charged with seven counts, 3 counts of felony murder, first degree murder, attempted first degree murder, and two counts of aggravated robbery.
"It's a great day in Knox County. After countless hours and investigation, we are pleased to announce that 22 year-old Taylor Olson of Knoxville has been charged and indicted with the murder of Johnia Berry," said Sheriff Jones. "His bond was set at one million dollars."
It's all in connection with the December 2004 attack of Johnia Berry and her roommate, Jason Aymami, at their Brendan Park Apartment in West Knoxville. Berry died of her stab wounds. Aymami survived and ran to a nearby convenience store for help. He also worked with police to get a composite sketch of the suspect, which is pictured below.
Sheriff Jones says some tips led them to believe Olson was a person of interest in the case. During an arrest for a probation violation and failure to appear charge in July, they say he voluntarily submitted a DNA sample. Police arrested him on Friday, September 21 in the parking lot of the West Town Mall. Sheriff Jones says there's no evidence at this time to suggest Olson knew Johnia or anyone who lived in her apartment.
Olson has a criminal history in both Knox and Sevier Counties. Charges include theft, harassment, and reckless driving. Most recently, prosecutors charged him just last month with theft and aggravated burglary. Olson was due for an arraignment for the burglary charges on September 25.
District Attorney General Randy Nichols says a decision on whether prosecutors will seek the death penalty in this case will be made at a later date.

CMcCN: "I could not support the argument that a registry of alt text (for example) was crucial to accessibility in the same way as I could support an argument..." WL:: But the only reason to enter into that argument is if somebody raises the issue of comparative importances, which is really only likely to happen if we assign (arbitrary?) priorities. Also the reason for a "structure tree" in the section on authoring is that by putting it in with navigation makes it less clear that this is to be used in authoring constructs and not just for moving about. -- Love.

Blurry Pictures I have had this camera less than a year. I took it to the beach 2 weeks ago and the camera was fine. Crystal clear pictures. Then, on the last day of vacation, the pictures started coming out blurry. Even when I am preparing to take a picture the view finder is blurry. The camera is on auto focus and it is set to the shoot and click setting (little green camera). It didn't get wet at all. Anyone know if there is a setting that I may have touched or is this an internal problem.

For years, reporters have believed that EPA and other federal agencies had a tendency to issue press releases about unpopular actions late on Friday, a point in the news cycle when media may overlook them. Now statistics confirms the hunch.
Researchers at the nonprofit and nonpartisan think tank Resources for the Future fed into their computers some 21,493 press releases issued by EPA between 1994 and 2009.
Their conclusion: "Press releases announcing enforcement actions or regulatory changes were issued more often on Fridays and before holidays, a time when news has the least impact on media coverage and financial markets."
- "Strategic Release of News at the EPA," Resources for the Future, October 2011, by Lucija Anna Muehlenbachs, Elisabeth Newcomb Sinha, and Nitish Ranjan Sinha (RFF Discussion Paper 11-45) October 2011.
