It's Fiesta time and San Antonio is geared up to celebrate. During Fiesta, San Antonians and many visitors will enjoy numerous events throughout the city. Fiesta began as a way to honor the heroes of the Alamo and the Battle of San Jacinto but now has become a celebration of San Antonio's rich and diverse cultures. With many types of enticing food represented from these cultures, here are some tips to have fun and stay fit at your favorite Fiesta events.
- Eat a healthy meal before you are going to an event. You will be less likely to choose something unhealthy just because you are hungry.
- Wear walking shoes and try to walk to different events if they are not too far from each other.
- Try the B-Cycle program and rent a bike to ride around the city.
- If you are trying some indulgent high-calorie food, share it with another person so you don't have such a large portion.
- Choose fresh fruits and vegetables when offered.
- Don't drink your calories! Choose water when available and if you are drinking alcohol, don't drink more than one an hour and supplement with plenty of water in between.
- Look for food items that are grilled or baked, stay away from anything fried.
- If you are planning to attend multiple events throughout the Fiesta celebration, pick and choose your food wisely. One week of all those extra calories can really add up.

Another Week, Another 60.71% Winner for SK Option Trader Subscribers
Just 9 days from closing our latest winner, we've closed another trade for a 60.71% return in 100 days.
This trade was exactly the same as our previously closed vertical call spread. The difference in profit between the two trades is a consequence of different entry and exit points.
Following an extremely weak payrolls announcement on the 1st of June, we placed this trade on the 4th June, speculating that poor employment would push the Fed to embark on QE3 and send gold prices higher. This is what we communicated to subscribers at the time.
To summarise, exactly what we said on June 4th has come to fruition, and may be of interest to keen market followers.
"The expectation for the May payroll announcement on Friday was 150,000. The actual number came in at 69,000 – a huge miss compounded by sizable downward revisions of the March and April numbers...
We've been talking about the importance of seeing disappointing payrolls data before committing to a long position on gold for a while now. With Friday's payrolls flop, we have all the elements required to get long gold and will most likely do so this week in the form of GLD call spreads.
We have been on the side lines for some time, but now we think it is time to get back involved. We are now fully in the bullish camp for gold and it feels good to be back.
Given current record low real interest rates, one of our pricing models predicts gold should be just over $1900."

We went on to say;
"We think the Federal Reserve is more competent than the ECB and therefore more likely to act. After Friday's employment data, Bernanke now has more room to move. The Fed has left the door open to further easing if the data turns. The data has turned and Europe is threatening to drag the global economy, including the US, into another recession."
To be really effective we think QE3 will need to create money, not just shift it around like Operation Twist. Although stocks have performed since Operation Twist, this was more due to the LTROs from Europe and in our view Operation Twist was largely ineffective.
Buying more treasuries will not do much good. Businesses are not going to hire new workers just because the US 10 year yield is lower. The yield curve needs no flattening, what is needed is direct injections of cash into more risk credit instruments such as mortgages. By purchasing mortgage securities that encourages new mortgages to be originated one could provide a meaningful boost to the US economy. We are not saying this is the right thing to do, we are merely attempting to determine what will happen in reality since this is the most use to us as a trading operation."
QE3 was announced on Thursday the 11th of June; just as we predicted way back in June. We foreshadowed the driver (poor payroll data) and even predicted the format easing would take. Gold is now up around $1770 and if it performs in a similar manner as it did over QE 1 and 2, it could be headed for $2300 or even higher if the program lasts longer than the 3 years many anticipate.
Initially after placing this trade gold trended sideways for several weeks and we sat on a small loss. We stayed strong to our belief in QE3 and didn't close the position out defeated. Instead, we doubled up getting in even cheaper than before.
This trade marked a big milestone for us and our subscribers alike. Since August 2009 we have generated 505.98%. We have never had a losing year.
Over the same time frame gold has risen 86.62%, the S&P 500 45.72%, and a basket of the biggest gold mining stocks only 38.83%.
$10,000 invested in 2009 would now be worth $60,598, simply by following the trades we place on our own accord. Our subscription fees would be covered many times over.
Compounded returns help facilitate our success with the profits from all our closed trades being reinvested back into the portfolio. To maximise compound returns, it pays to start investing as soon as possible so don't delay.
One of our recently opened trades is up 40% in only 11 days. To see what it is and all our future trades, subscribe now.
We have no plan to take our foot off the gas, there are many exciting trading opportunities ahead so sign up now to get on board!

Inside Track: Gillespie's crowning achievement: businesses supporting each other
African-American entrepreneur looks to make a difference in Grand Rapids' minority business scene.
His legal name is Thomas Gillespie, but that's not who he really is.
That's only the name he wore growing up in Grand Rapids, a troubled and trouble-making kid who became associated with the Wealthy Street Gang. His parents divorced when he was young, and his loneliness spurred him to look for family and belonging elsewhere, he said. As an impressionable boy without direction, he turned to an unhealthy version of "family" among criminals.
Then came the failure of that family and his inevitable incarceration. Gillespie was sentenced to five years in prison, he said, followed by another five years.
"On that (second) stretch, I came to the conclusion that the street wasn't for me," he said. "I was blessed to be alive and to be able to tell my story … instead of someone else reading an obituary about me."
During his years behind bars, or "the consequences of my actions," as he called them, he found a new name and new identity born of faith. "I wanted to find a relationship with the creator. I didn't have one — I felt a void in my spirit," he said. "Islam gave me a sense of hope."
Gillespie took on a Muslim name: Tahj. In Arabic, the name means "crown."
"I felt blessed, but I felt an urge to give back to the community, as well as to financially become sustainable," he said. "I'm focused on leaving a legacy because I've done so much wrong in my past that I have to perpetuate positive reinforcement to be the best example to my children, other people's children, and to the generation that comes up after me."
After prison, Gillespie went back to work at his father's business, Gillespie Funeral Services, 1865 Eastern Ave. SE, where he now helps run the marketing and public relations aspects of the company. He took some classes at Grand Rapids Community College, he said, but it was his interactions with local African-American business owners and leaders that led to his journey into the business world.
In 2010, Gillespie started his own business: Limited Edition Development Group Inc., a business consulting/brand management company that focuses on small businesses, individuals and groups. His vision for it, he said, is found in the company's tagline: "Dream your painting and we'll help you paint your dream."
"I help push the brand and the visual ideal for where you see your company going," he said. "I shape thoughts and energy to fit a vision."
He also became involved in community work, creating Life's Connection, a nonprofit designed to promote "the empowerment of individuals and respecting the cultural differences we have as people," he said. Gillespie's nonprofit also has a tagline: "Teach a life, save a life."
"It has different realms, but the first piece I've been targeting has been youth services, and the youth service piece has been focused on stopping the violence in the community because that's what's been a huge risk factor," he said.
"I understand (firsthand) what happens when it's not addressed, and sometimes by the time it is addressed, it's too late. … If the kids aren't seeing progress — new innovations, then they are still caught up in an old pattern that either ends with incarceration or death."
His work in the African-American community caught the attention of Jamiel Robinson, CEO of Grand Rapids Area Black Businesses, who reached out to Gillespie and invited him on as a consultant to help push the GRABB brand.
GRABB, an organization that promotes local black-owned businesses in hopes of creating a firm economic base for urban neighborhoods, seems like a perfect fit for Gillespie, whose faith and past stirred up a firestorm of passion for the betterment of the local African-American community.
And so Gillespie set to work on one of the most "intricate" but "disconnected" pieces of Grand Rapids' culture: minority businesses.
"There's (racial disconnect), but it's the economic disconnect, as well — those who have and those who don't. You're not paying attention to those who don't have when you do have unless you have a social consciousness or a connection, something that draws you in there," he said.
"We want to be able to touch a new demographic of entrepreneurs who don't really have a connection to resources."
Here's the big problem in a nutshell, as Gillespie and others see it: In Grand Rapids, there's a racial disconnect that runs along Wealthy Street all the way to Division Avenue. Minorities often live in urban neighborhoods, grow up in broken families and are educated in a broken public school system. They feel like they have no prospect for a future outside of either the streets or the bottom rung of the business world.
"Grand Rapids is a progressive city and growing fast, but you can't grow in certain areas and not grow in other areas. What's going to happen is incarceration rates will skyrocket and crime will go up, (unless) the balance is brought to the inner cities, where a lot of the problems are," he said.
"The problems are really segregated if you look at the city and look at where all of the crime lies. You can't say that you can't fix these issues (while you're) fixing downtown."
Then there are the connections afforded by businesses. Businesses, especially minority-owned ones, need to be involved in their local communities, Gillespie said. Collaboration on financial, economic and personal levels needs to happen not just between businesses across that inner city disconnect line, but between minority-owned business leaders themselves, he said.
"Look at East Grand Rapids or Cascade: The majority of those thriving communities are giving back to those communities," he said. "They're not just doing business without putting back into those communities."
The other aspect is education, he said, adding that's why his nonprofit is focused on setting an example for kids who are looking for a model of what they want to be when they grow up.
"Our children need to see us in positions of empowerment. If they just see us as workers, they'll only think they can be workers," he said. "It's a visual thing. If I only see a certain demographic run that business, how will I ever think I could run that businesses?"
If there's one thing Gillespie wants the business community to understand, it's this: To make a community strong, you have to support those who make the community strong. For Grand Rapids' minority community, that means supporting the businesses, which in turn means supporting families.
And to Gillespie, the business community can build a much better family than a gang ever could.
"The profit made within the community is in the people affected the most, which are the children and the families. If the families and children are supported, the profit is them becoming productive members of society, producing a sustainable community," he said.
"If you don't have that, you're going to have crime because we didn't take the proper steps to make sure the people in the community were OK."

The perfect race for first time triathletes or as a tune up for IRONMAN 70.3 Philippines.
OpenRegister ▻
Bounded on three sides by a mountain range, and endowed with a deep natural harbor, Subic Bay was once the home base of the U.S. naval forces in the Pacific. It was America's largest naval installation outside the United States, until it was turned over to the Philippine government in 1992.
All that sand and sea have not gone to waste, as Subic Bay is now a premier holiday destination for visitors from all over the world. They come for its pristine beaches, first-rate amenities and friendly services. In fact the waters and beaches of Subic Bay feature attractions for all types of folks: miles of fine sand and calm waters for beach lovers and picnickers, spectacular corals and underwater fauna for divers and snorkelers, mysterious sunken wrecks for history aficionados, and even choice spots for a relaxing afternoon of fly fishing.
But there's more to Subic Baythan sun-drenched shores. Its blessed location at the foothills of the Zambales mountain range has given it lush tracts of preserved tropical forest, which have become favorite venues for eco-tourism activities and sports events. U.S. Marines used to hone their jungle-survival skills in these mountains, trained by local indigenous people called the Aetas who have learned to live in harmony with their natural environment.
Subic Bay is one of the best places to train and tri in the Philippines.
The AAI Group of Companies through its members AAI Worldwide Logistics and Black Arrow Express recently signed a sponsorship agreement with Sunrise Events Inc., the official Licensee of the Ironman Triathlon franchise in the Philippines.
Black Arrow President Allan Brizuela himself is a 70.3 triathlon finisher will also be racing in the upcoming Full Ironman Event in June 3, 2018 in Subic Bay Philippines. Brizuela says that logistics shares the same spirit and values of the triathlon where commitment to move goods and services often go through various modes of transport over land, air and sea. The same commitment to finish to the "last-mile" is often the most grueling part of the race. Same goes for the Black Arrow who delivers to their customers' doors by foot through rain and flood sometimes. "We are committed to finish strong Before Anyone Else".
The Black Arrow Express 5150 starts with a 1.5 KM swim course, starting at ACEA beach following a counter clockwise flow. After completing the swim participants will exit the beach following the path to transition 1 at ACEA Subic Bay parking lot. From Transition area, they will grab their bikes and head out to the bike mount area in San Bernardino Road.
Participants start in ACEA Subic Bay, turn right to San Bernardino road then turn left to Argonaut Highway. Participants will then head to Rizal Drive make a left turn and head towards Yacht club then make a turn around just before Burgos Street at KM 9. They head back to Argonaut highway then turn right at New Container Terminal (NCT) and make the second turn around at KM 16.8. They head back to Argonaut Highway, exit Rizal Drive and make a turn around once again at Burgos street at KM 24.6. Finally they exit back to Argonaut Highway and head to NCT for the final turn around at KM 32.5. Participants will then head back to Argonaut highway then exit to Rizal Drive then enter Transition 2 at Remy field.
The Black Arrow Express 5150 10 KM run will have a two 5km loop. Participants will exit Burgos street turn right and head to Waterfront road, then make a turn around just before the light house. They head back to Burgos street and make another turn around just before Remy field to begin the second loop. After completing the final turn around, they head back and enter the finish line in Remy Field.

For the 2013 Holiday Gift Catalog, I illustrated the items that can be donated over photos from developing countries, showing both the need and the outcome.
"We had a fantastic experience using Alli as our illustrator for our Holiday Gifts of Hope campaign. Alli was reliable, flexible, and produced high-quality work that was far better than we had anticipated. Her personable nature made her a joy to work with. We're looking forward to partnering with her again in future campaigns!"

8 pm – We are using the NBC feed. Obama leads with the opening statement, trying to get his message across before the questions lead him in a direction he doesn't want to go… note that he's talking over the media's head here – he's talking directly into the camera. This is one reason journalists didn't like live press conferences – they get relegated to the backdrop.
8:03 – He's still claiming that he will halve the deficit in his first term. Mark that one down for the records.
8:04 – pushing the budget. Remember, this
8:05 – here's the populist attack on the bonus babies…
8:06 He's not at his best with the teleprompter. This is a skill that is acquired through practice, but right now he talks too fast, and comes across as reading, rather than speaking. Reagan was the best I ever saw at this.
8:07 AP correspondent goes first. Let's see if Obama agrees that he's advocating "taking over" banks.
Interesting response – she's asks about banks, he responds by using AIG (not a bank!) as his example. Why – because we all hate AIG! Notice he doesn't use the word "nationalize" or even "takeover" .
8:10 – Chuck Todd. NBC. Asking the public to sacrifice? What exactly is Chuck asking here? Isn't unemployment a sacrifice? A recession isn't sacrifice? Losing a job is sacrifice! What a ridiculous question! I have no idea what Todd was trying to ask here….Obama is bailing him out by responding as if the question made sense.
Todd persists in making a fool of himself with his followup…..give it up man!
8:15 Good question here (finally) on the budget deliberations – let's see how Obama responds. My guess is he doesn't lay down a veto threat. Not this early.
Nice answer: stick to general principles, don't get bogged down in details. In essence, Obama says he's open to pretty much anything Congress delivers. This is a good negotiating strategy for working with Congress – lay down principles, don't get fixated on details. He's for education, energy, and reducing the deficit. Btw, he also like Mom and Apple Pie too, and Congress better not be against that.
8:20 Chip Reid presses him on budget deficits. Isn't the Obama budget irresponsible? Obama's right about the impact of different assumptions on the out years of budget growth. Not surprisingly, presidents of both parties always adopt the rosier assumptions regarding growth.
[ Max – are the reporters nervous, or clueless?]
Chip is not convinced. Obama says some saving will come in entitlement reform – but what specific reform? He promises it will be "bipartisan" – is that possible in this Congress? I think not… . Obama claims to be lowering non-defense discretionary spending to the lowest, as a % of GDP, since the 1960's. This is essentially meaningless, since it's based on rosy assumptions regarding GDP growth, and doesn't include entitlements (nondiscretionary) programs which are the big budget busters.
8;28 – This is one of those questions designed to allow Obama to publicize how he's responding to an immediate policy issue – in this case drug-related border violence.
8:30 – Stars and Stripes? Another opportunity for Obama to publicize a program he wants highlighted. Every presidents since Reagan has promised to reform procurement of military weapons. This was a pet issue of Don Rumsfeld, and he couldn't deliver, largely because Congress does not want real procurement reform if it means eliminating major weapons systems.
[Fred – are you suggesting that he might just lie to us?]
8:37 – Another AIG-related question suggesting Obama's outrage was calculated and again questioning about the growth in the deficit under Obama. And again, Obama points to the fact that he inherited a huge deficit. Nice parry here by Obama to link deficit reduction to health care reform. But not much here on the details of health care reform beyond the non-controversial support for better recordkeeping, better accounting, etc., to reduce costs. But this skirts the critical issue of real health care reform (as he well knows). ..
Did he just say the savings he anticipates producing will take place outside the 10-year budget projection?
Ooops – a slapdown! I'll show you real anger! (btw, I hope you saw the SNL skit with "The Rock" playing Obama's alterego, "The Rock Obama". You don't want to get him angry…
8:37 – Fox news. A world currency? What kind of question is this?
When Obama says he hasn't look at the latest polling around the world, he means, "go look at the latest polling"
8:40 – Ok, he's called on an internet "journalist" – Allen is from Politico. I'm not sure Obama's answer here gets to the issue. He's turning it into a tax higher incomes, but the question asks about the impact on charitable giving….Ok, now he gets it. Good finish.
8:45 Well, this is a horrible question. What's Obama going to say except to tout his economic recovery plan? C'mon people, let's not waste this opportunity. This is likely to be the last press conference for several months… It does give Obama a chance to gets back to what he's doing for veterans.
8:47: Anne Compton. Race? What kind of a question is this? Geez Louise – why don't you tee it up for him? Can you spell SOFTBALL! This has to be the worst set of questions I've seen in a long while…
8:49 – WAshington Times on stem cells. Do you think Obama wrestled with this issue? What? He did? I'm shocked…SHOCKED!
OK, I'm putting out an APB for Sam Donaldson. Where's Dan Rather? This is the most docile group of correspondents I have ever seen… Were they cowed when Obama shut the first reporter up who pushed him on why he was slow to respond to the AIG bonus issue?
[Jeff[- Yep. They are writing the parody even as we watch! Can't wait for Saturday night!]
Last question…. 8:58. Finally a foreign policy question. But not a particularly hard one.
George MItchell? He just dissed HIllary – she's in charge! Why did she ever take this job? "Thank you Mr. President, may I have another?" Mitchell's not your SEcretary of State – Hillary is!!
He believes in persistence. Quick! Cue "High Hopes" – he's finishing with the obligatory high note. You can knock me down, but I get right up again…
I dont' think he wants to tout his video to Iran….
STop the presses: he's not immediately going to bring peace to the Mideast!
A big ocean liner? NOT THE METAPHOR TO USE – CAN YOU SPELL TITANIC?
OK – we'll stick with NBC for the postmortem by the talking heads, but feel to jump in if you have some reactions (and I realize all you students are on break….)
OK, Chuck Todd's take: Obama's theme is incremental progress. Ooops! It's primetime – the networks are done with this. You'll have to move to the cable.
Some final thoughts – press conferences are so highly staged now that they rarely serve the purpose for which they ostensibly were created – to hold the presidential accountable for decisions made (and not made) and to allow the president to communicate with the public. I'm not sure how well tonight's event accomplished either of these goals. My guess is that from Obama's perspective, he was willing to trade off facing some softball questions for the chance to present an opening statement (and closing one too) that explained his economic plans to date. Otherwise I don't think much was accomplished here, except perhaps reiterating just how peripheral Hillary Clinton is to Obama's foreign policy, and to remind us how docile the White House press corps can be. Since I don't have cable here, I'm not sure how (if at all) they are parsing this exchange, but I don't see alot of news coming out of it, unless I missed something. This is just a reminder how sterile press conferences have become… .
I'll be on tomorrow with reaction to the overnight pundit reviews.

- Lions Park PlayscapeIt takes a certain type of imagination to build an entire playground out of recycled 55-gallon drums, and that's exactly what students from Auburn University's Rural Studio did when redesigning the Lions Park Playscape in Greensboro, Alabama. Using 2,000 donated galvanized steel drums that had previously been used to transport mint oil, the students created a one-of-a-kind maze-like playground that promotes creativity.1
- Lions Park PlayscapeChicago-based structural engineer Joe Farruggia helped to construct the sunscreen. The top and bottom of some of the drums in the sunscreen have been removed, enabling kids inside the playground to look up and see the sky.2
- Lions Park PlayscapeThe playscape is the fifth phase of Auburn University Rural Studio's effort to revitalize and redevelop Lions Park in Greensboro.3
- Lions Park PlayscapeThe colorful, labyrinthine structure is filled with sound tubes and swing sets, and it replaces a playground that had been heavily vandalized.4
- Lions Park PlayscapeTo create the playscape, Rural Studio welded together hundreds of metal drums, creating a maze that kids can wander through and climb on.5
- Lions Park PlayscapeThe design studio also used the discarded drums to create a large sun screen, which prevents the playscape from getting too hot.6
- Lions Park PlayscapeSince 2004, Rural Studio has been redeveloping Lions Park, adding new baseball fields, new toilets, a skatepark, and concessions. In addition to the new playground, Rural Studio added a 1/2 mile of walking trail to the park.7

Recently I had the opportunity to pick up a new project vehicle (a '60 Ford F-100) from a good friend of mine, John Meadows at Deuces Wild Hotrods & Customs Inc. The truck is not perfect and the motor is not running, but hey, all that stuff is coming out and being replaced with quality aftermarket parts anyhow. So where do I start? How far should I take the build? Do I want to show it or just drive it? This is when my wonderful wife got involved and said, "If your going to build another truck, it better be for me." I responded in my usual sarcastic tone, "Can I call it 'honey do' and get out of doing chores?" It was worth a shot, but hey, I have a new project ready and waiting for modification.
A game plan is not set for the truck yet because my wife and I need to research what she likes and doesn't like. What I can tell you is that I will be starting with the frame and suspension to get the stance correct. John's original plan was to make the truck handle, but be geared for the street and not the autocross. I think I may stick with that plan and do my best to show you guys how to do it with off-the-shelf parts and minimal fabrication skills. Getting ready for suspension you need to consider how low you want to go, but maybe more important is suspension travel. Have you ever been driving down the road and BANG – you hit your rear bumpstops because of a small dip?
I have, and I know plenty of trucks that could use a few more inches of travel in the rear suspension. To get more travel in the rear and a lot more room to lower the rear suspension, we called up Art Morrison Enterprises and ordered a set of their pre-bent, 90-degree mandrel-bent square tubing (part # 32347200). The square tubing is bent the hard way, and to be honest, we were expecting it to be kinked in spots, but when the tubing arrived it was almost perfect.

(Phoenix, Ariz. – Feb. 26, 2009) Attorney General Terry Goddard today announced a settlement with Coke, Nestle and Beverage Partnership Worldwide (BPW) resolving questions over the companies' claims that drinking Enviga, a green tea beverage, burns calories and results in weight loss.
In 2007, Attorneys General from 27 states and the District of Columbia began investigating questionable claims that drinking Enviga burned more calories than the drink contained, thereby resulting in weight loss. Marketing campaigns for Enviga claimed that consuming three cans in a day would result in burning up to 60 to 100 extra calories per day.
The study cited by the companies as the basis for the claims, however, ran for three days and included only a small group of normal-weight, healthy 18-35 year olds. While a number of study participants did experience some additional calorie burning by drinking Enviga, they did not experience weight loss. Additionally, the study did not establish that any of the calorie burning effect could be sustained over time.
The settlement reached today requires the companies to clearly disclose that weight loss is only possible through diet and exercise in any marketing of Enviga or similarly formulated beverages. The companies also must pay $650,000 to the states.
States participating in today's settlement are: Connecticut, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Washington and the District of Columbia.
Assistant Attorney General Nancy Anger handled this case. Attached are examples of the Enviga marketing challenged by the Attorneys General and Enviga's new marketing materials that include disclosures required by the settlement.

If you need to gain access to a Hotmail account but have forgotten your password, I'd recommend using the Hack Hotmail Password program to recover the password. It's a fairly simple tool that will help you gain access to an account that you can't seem to get into anymore. This tool was created to help you change the password to old accounts of yours that you can't access anymore, a friends account who has given you permission to access their account, or possibly a child who you feel may need to be watched a bit more closely. If this tool is used for any other purpose I am not to be held responsible for your actions, so use this responsibly.
While it may seem self-explanatory, many people struggle to get this program to work so I'll just go over it briefly for you. Hack Hotmail Password is a powerful tool that will contact Hotmail and attempt to change the password of the account you have entered. Simply fill in the email box with the email address of the account you'd like to change the password of, then fill in the new password you would like in the next two boxes.
After all this information has been filled out accurately, hit the button to change the password. It will then begin to contact Hotmail and go through the process of setting your new password. It can take anywhere from thirty seconds to a minute so be patient. Updates on what the program is doing will become visible once the process has started. If you have any questions getting this to work correctly feel free to leave a comment on this post and I'll try and help you as best I can.

The technology available to the professionals in the window cleaning industry is ever evolving.
The standard squeegee and T-bar has been used for years, and although there will always be a place for those tools, window cleaners have more options than ever before.
With the development of pure water and automated high-rise window cleaning systems, productivity and safety has grown to new heights.
In the evolution of water purification, reverse osmosis deionized (RODI) technology has made the window cleaning industry safer, more productive and increasingly more environmentally friendly.
The advancements in window cleaning technology are best explained by first analyzing what pure water is and how it is revolutionizing the entire industry.
Pure Water Simplified
Creating pure water involves a four-stage filtration and separation process utilizing carbon, sediment, a reverse osmosis membrane and deionization filtration to purify ordinary tap water and produce mineral-free water.
Pure water makes cleaning chemicals more efficient and effective by eliminating the need for the chemicals to treat the water and apply all of its cleaning energy to dissolve and carry the soil that needs to be removed.
Pure water is not found in nature; it is unstable in a sense, carrying with it pent up cleaning energy to solubilize soils and other contaminants it comes in contact with.
The result from cleaning with pure water as opposed to a mineral-laden liquid is spot-free windows.
Some specialized systems have been developed that provide high-volume pure water to clean windows up to five stories safely from the ground.
Using special water-fed poles from the ground eliminates the need for ladders and other equipment used to reach high windows, allowing one to clean windows in a fraction of the time it would normally take.
Water-fed poles come in numerous lengths — from five feet to 55 feet depending on the job at hand.
For areas with notoriously low water pressure, electric, gas and battery boosts are available to give the water an extra push.
A closer look at how the numbers break down:
- The average cost of water per 10 square feet on a ladder is $0.20
- The cost of those same 10 square feet of water when working on a platform it is $2.20
- The cost of said 10 square feet using pure water and water-fed poles is reduced to $0.03.
As the breakdown highlights, using pure water allows a window cleaner to deliver spot-free windows with improved productivity and increased cost savings.
Another benefit of pure water cleaning is that, with the assistance of the technology, anybody can easily be a great window cleaner.
On The Outside Looking In
There have also been significant developments to apply these same cleaning technologies and solutions to indoor glass.
Some equipment manufacturers have made available indoor pure water cleaning systems that can clean not only glass but other non-porous surfaces as well.
These indoor systems combine the cleaning power of pure water and microfiber textiles, allowing for clean surfaces without having to use chemicals.
With no chemical residue left behind on the glass, dirt will be discouraged from redepositing on the surface, reducing the necessary frequency of cleaning intervals.
Eliminating cleaning resides can reduce overall labor by up to 50 percent, making indoor pure water cleaning systems equally invaluable to those for exterior applications.
High-rise buildings are traditionally cleaned by hand with people hanging from wire ropes.
It is common throughout the world to hear of window cleaner deaths resulting from falls.
Automated window cleaning systems can safely do the same work in a fraction of the time, greatly diminishing the chances of a tragic accident occurring.
High-rise automated window cleaning systems, which can be safely operated from existing roof rigs, davit arms, roof cars or portable rigs, eliminate over-the-edge work and are operated via a wireless remote control.
Regardless of whether they are employed indoors or outdoors, systems utilizing RODI to produce pure water will leave glass crystal clear and residue-free, allowing windows to stay cleaner for a longer period of time.
Every industry evolves; the innovation and evolution of pure water, water-fed poles and high-rise automated window cleaning systems has allowed the window cleaning industry to flourish.
Now, with advanced technologies at their disposal, window cleaners have the opportunity to be more productive and safer while working.

As markets tune into how the Federal Reserve is going to rein in its massive stimulus program, so is the Bank of Japan.
The BOJ, the pioneer of so-called quantitative easing, is still years away from tapering off its own extraordinary stimulus program so it has the luxury of watching the U.S. central bank go first.
But the more that the BOJ is able to push inflation towards its policy target of 2 percent - compared with less than 1 percent now and following years of deflation - the more attention financial markets will pay to how Japan's exit debate is shaping up. For now, all eyes are on the Fed.
(Read more: Japan extends lucky streak on unlucky day)
It is widely expected this week to announce a trimming of its $85 billion bond-buying program, a delicate operation of communicating its plans to fickle investors without causing financial market turmoil. Those market expectations have already led to an emerging market rout this year.
"The difficulty of exit is already proven by the Fed," said a source familiar with BOJ thinking. "Just hinting about tapering has jolted markets, probably much more than the Fed had thought."
So the BOJ plans to learn as much as it can from its U.S. counterpart although internal discussions among policymakers are underway on Japan's own exit strategy.
Indeed, conversations with former and incumbent central bankers, as well as sources familiar with the BOJ's thinking, suggest Japan's exit strategy will resemble the Fed's plan.
Stage one
The BOJ will first start slowing bond purchases from the current pace of roughly 7 trillion yen ($70 billion) per month.
(Read more: Here's what may trigger more BOJ stimulus)
It will taper gradually in several stages to minimize the impact on markets. At some point, the bond purchases will stop.
The BOJ may then raise the 0.1 percent floor it currently sets on money market rates and revert back to a policy targeting interest rates, which was replaced by one targeting base money in April.
While this approach has broad consensus on the BOJ board, the sticking point is on the timing. Disagreements are already present, providing a window into what may shape the BOJ's ultimate exit strategy in coming years.
Theoretically, the BOJ might start tapering in 2015 if it meets its pledge of achieving 2 percent inflation in two years.
Given the slow pace of price growth in Japan though, the sources say a more realistic start date is 2016 at the earliest.
With a new governor at the helm, the BOJ pledged in April to maintain an aggressive stimulus campaign until 2 percent inflation is "stably maintained."
(Read more: Optimistic: Japan upgrades view on economy)
That is meant to say the stimulus program is open-ended, BOJ officials have said. So if inflation does not reach 2 percent in the two-year time frame, the BOJ would keep pumping more money into the economy until price growth, on average, reaches that level.
Mandated by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to pull Japan out of deflation, BOJ Governor Haruhiko Kuroda may prefer to wait for as long as necessary to ensure 2 percent inflation is sustained.
That may mean keeping the stimulus program intact well beyond 2016.
But some policymakers see risks in waiting that long.
Board member Takahide Kiuchi has warned of the drawbacks of maintaining ultra-loose policy for too long, such as sowing the seeds of an asset price bubble. He wants to set a two-year limit for the current aggressive policy and after that, fine-tune the program based on economic conditions.
Another policymaker, Takehiro Sato, also wants a more flexible approach. His comments suggest he sees the possibility of the BOJ tapering its stimulus earlier rather than later.
The former bond market strategist argues the BOJ's price target should be considered as a range surrounding 2 percent and that as long as inflation heads towards that level, the BOJ's mandate would have been fulfilled.
(Read more: Bank of Japan stays pat, says economy recovering)
"If our price goal is considered a flexible framework allowing for a certain allowance, the target is reasonable and achievable," he said in a speech in July.
For now, the central bank is deliberately reticent and vague about an exit strategy to avoid diluting its key message that its priority is to beat deflation, analysts say.
"The BOJ doesn't see the need now to talk about what it will do with its stimulus program after two years," said Hideo Kumano, chief economist at Dai-ichi Life Research Institute, in Tokyo.
"But if Japan's economy remains in good shape around the time the Fed finishes tapering mid-next year, markets might start talking about who's next and what the BOJ might do about its enormous balance sheet," said Kumano, a former BOJ official.
Learning from Fed
The BOJ is the one central bank in the world with experience of exiting quantitative easing after it adopted a QE policy between 2001 and 2006.
But BOJ officials admit exiting this time will take time and be far more challenging.
(Read more: Is consumption tax hike the 'wrong policy' for Japan?)
During its previous QE campaign, the BOJ pumped money into the economy mainly by buying short-term securities, which fell off its balance sheet quickly as they matured. It only took four months to withdraw from the stimulus program and start to raise rates from zero.
Under its current program, the BOJ will amass 190 trillion yen ($1.9 trillion) in long-term government bonds by the end of 2014 with maturities of up to 40 years.
It would also have loaded up on nearly 4 trillion yen in riskier assets, such as mutual funds investing in stocks and property.
The BOJ may be forced to sit on a huge pile of assets for years, said Mari Iwashita, chief market economist at SMBC Nikko Securities in Tokyo. The risk will be failing to exit before the economy needs another round of stimulus.
"The BOJ doesn't want to disrupt markets but it also won't want to spend years to taper," said Iwashita, a prominent BOJ watcher. "It may run out of time unless it starts preparing for a tapering around late 2015."
The BOJ's biggest lessons in watching the Fed may be how best to communicate its policy intentions to minimize any shock to markets.
(Read more: Japan's debt looks like this: 1,000,000,000,000,000 yen)
Once inflation picks up and markets start talking about a BOJ exit, the central bank may adopt "forward guidance" like the Fed and commit to keeping interest rates ultra-low even as it starts slowing asset purchases, sources familiar with BOJ thinking say.
For now, the BOJ is noncommittal.
"We still have time, so we'd like to see through (the Fed's) process a bit longer and learn from how the market reacts after some time," board member Koji Ishida said on Wednesday.
"Markets favor rate cuts and don't like rate hikes because many people lose money. Communication with markets therefore isn't a mirror image for when we raise and cut rates. Obviously, tightening will involve much hardship."

Sixteen out of 24 Men's World Championship vacancies filled after European qualification process complete
Lausanne, Switzerland, January 6, 2014 – The completion of the third and final round of the European qualification process for the FIVB Volleyball Men's World Championship on Sunday saw six teams left celebrating their tickets to the FIVB Men's Volleyball World Championship in Poland from August 30 to September 21.
The spectacular start to the new volleyball year saw Bulgaria, Serbia, Germany, Belgium and Finland top their groups to earn the right to compete in Poland later this year. They will be joined by France, who qualified as the best second-placed team. Among those to miss out were one of the biggest names in the history of volleyball, in the form of the Netherlands – 1996 Olympic champions and runners-up in 1994. Also reduced to the role of spectators in 2014 are the Czech Republic, who finished 10th in 2010, and Slovakia, whose parent state Czechoslovakia was twice crowned World Champion.
The Africa Confederation (three vacancies) and NORCECA Confederation (five vacancies) are still to complete their qualification process.
A glance at the history of the World Championship reveals why the hosts of the 2016 Olympic Games Brazil are also the hot favourites to claim the FIVB Volleyball World Championship title this year. After all, the last time the World Championship trophy went to a different country was back in 1998, when Italy were victorious. The Brazilians won a hat-trick of back-to-back titles in 2002, 2006 and 2010, and could make history with a fourth win in a row. "I hope we will continue to win in the coming years," said Brazil's star coach Bernardo Rezende after the recent triumph in the World Grand Champions Cup. However, the South Americans will face a stern test. The Russians, in particular, are hungry for the title – they have after all won every other major title over the past two years, with victory in the Olympics, the European Championship and the World League.

About LaWanda
HOMETOWN: Flint, MI
There's no doubt about it, LaWanda's got a heart of gold and a personality to match. While her life has been full of challenges and heartbreaks, she always manages to see the brighter side of the situation.
Retirement has given her and her husband Doug a second opportunity to live out their life long dreams. Doug's vocal and guitar talents landed him in a 50s/60s Rock 'N Roll band "The Road Runners," a very well-known band in the Sun City Area. LaWanda's dancing talents landed her in "High Voltage" (a dance troupe for skilled dancers) as well as in the "Grandettes" (a local dance troupe created by a retired Radio City Rockette).
Unfortunately, Doug was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease a year ago and was recently diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease), which forced them both to slow down a bit. LaWanda's strength clearly stems from the love and support of her family, which includes 3 stepsons, 2 sons and 15 amazing grandchildren. LaWanda lost her only daughter to cancer 3 years ago. Their house is very full right now, but what could be better than a house filled with love and support.

Guilford College rounded out its 2011 football coaching staff Thursday. First-year head coach Chris Rusiewicz added six new assistants and announced Chris Barnette '07 will take over as the Quakers' offensive coordinator. Two newcomers, Zach Zullinger and Steve Terlesky, come to Guilford after coaching with Rusiewicz at Ursinus (Pa.) College. The other new coaches are James Brochu, Emmanuel Byers, Marty Collinson and Thomas Reese.
Now in his fifth season on Guilford's staff, Barnette (right) takes over his alma mater's offense from Dan Baranik, who took the head football coach post at Fishburne Military Academy in July. Barnette has contributed to the most prolific offensive era in Guilford's football history as both a student and coach. He caught a school-record 266 passes for 2953 yards and 30 touchdowns in his four-year career and was named a 2006 All-American by the American Football Coaches Association and D3football.com. Barnette earned his sport management degree in 2007 and started coaching the Quakers' receivers the same year. One of his protégés, Hagen Miller '10, broke Barnette's school receptions record and led NCAA Division III in catches per game in 2007. Four Guilford wideouts have earned All-Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) honors under Barnette's tutelage: Joe Joyner '07, Kevin Vaughn '08, Justin Parker '11 and Ben King '13. The Semora, N.C., native was an all-conference receiver and quarterback at Person High School for coach Mark Lunsford. His brother, Jamie, quarterbacked North Carolina State University from 1994-99.
Zullinger will coach the Quakers' special teams and defensive line in his return to the ODAC. He graduated from Guilford league-rival Hampden-Sydney College with a history degree in 2007 and played four seasons on the line for coach Marty Favret's club. The Manassas, Va., native helped the Tigers to a 29-11 (18-6 ODAC) record in four seasons. After college, Zullinger spent a year assisting Randolph-Henry (Va.) High School's gridders before joining Rusiewicz on head coach Peter Gallagher's staff at Ursinus in 2008. For three years, he coached the Bears' defensive linemen and served as the team's strength and conditioning coordinator. Zullinger helped Ursinus to the 2009 Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Southeast Bowl and a share of the 2010 Centennial Conference title.
Terlesky also has a defensive background and will coach the Quakers' safeties in Guilford's 4-2-5 formation. He directed the defensive backs, defensive ends and linebackers in three seasons at Ursinus. One of his mentees, Chris Rountree, was named the ECAC Rookie of the Year and ranked eighth among 2009 NCAA Division III interception leaders. A college tight end, Terlesky spent two seasons at West Virginia University before finishing his playing career at NCAA Division II Indiana University of Pennsylvania. He played on coach Don Nehlen's West Virginia's Insight Bowl (1998) and Music City Bowl (2000) teams and was a member of two NCAA playoff teams at Indiana. Terlesky received his bachelor's degree in physical education/teaching education from West Virginia in 2004 and spent four years as an assistant football coach at Upper Dublin (Pa.) High School, his alma mater, before moving to Ursinus.
Brochu coaches Guilford's linebackers after completing a three-year stint on coach David Cutcliffe's staff at Duke University. The Blue Devils posted their most wins in 15 years in Brochu's first season (2009) and had two students earn All-America honors in his tenure. Prior to accepting the Duke position, he served as a graduate assistant football coach at Northern Illinois University. The Americus, Ga., native was a member of Coastal Carolina University's first football team in 2003 and earned a business management degree there in 2006. He played in 32 of 33 games over three seasons and helped coach David Bennett's Chanticleers to a 25-8 mark and two Big South Conference titles. Brochu was a scholastic standout at Sumter County High School where he was a three-time all-area pick and four-sport letter winner.
Byers, a former Ragsdale High School and University of Virginia player, will coach Guilford's running backs this season. The High Point, N.C., native started four seasons for coach Tommy Norwood at Ragsdale and was one of the state's top recruits as a senior. He went to Virginia where he played receiver and returned kicks for the Cavaliers from 2004-06. Byers helped Virginia win the 2005 Music City Bowl and appeared in 29 career contests. He earned his degree in psychology in 2009 and served as an assistant coach at Ragsdale the same year.
A familiar name in local high school circles, Collinson makes his college coaching debut as Guilford's cornerbacks coach in 2011. Collinson spent 33 years as a scholastic teacher and coach in nearby Randolph and Davidson counties. He served as head football coach at South Davidson High School from 2005-2008 and assisted coach Charlie Gregory's Randleman High School staff when the team captured three state titles from 1981-83. Collinson led Randleman's wrestling and boys' track and field teams to Piedmont Athletic Conference-6 championships in 2011. The Asheboro, N.C., resident wrestled three years and graduated from the University of North Carolina at Pembroke in 1978 with degrees in biology and physical education. He earned a master's degree in physical education from North Carolina A&T State University in 1984. Collinson and his wife, Sandra, have one adult daughter.
Reese starts his coaching career leading Guilford's receivers. He graduated from Wingate University in May with his degree in physical education. The Mars Hill, N.C., native played four seasons as a reserve quarterback under coach Joe Reich and helped the Bulldogs to the 2010 South Atlantic Conference (SAC) title and a 31-10 record in that time. Reese earned SAC Commissioners Honor Roll recognition and was a member of the school's Sport Sciences Club. He enjoyed an all-star football career at Erwin High School and captained both the football and track teams in high school.
Guilford opens the regular season Sept. 3 at Greensboro College in the 15th annual Gate City Soup Bowl.

- Canadian GP - Race
Being stuck behind Rosberg 'cooked' brakes - Hamilton
Lewis Hamilton suspects being stuck behind Nico Rosberg contributed to his rear brake failure at the Canadian Grand Prix.
Mercedes looked set for an easy one-two until lap 36 when Hamilton experienced a high-voltage control electronics failure, causing a permanent loss of MGU-K drive. A lap later Rosberg experienced the same failure and both drivers slowed significantly as a result, allowing the chasing pack to close in.
The MGU-K works by harvesting energy from the rear axle under braking, which actually helps decelerate the car along with the brakes, and then deploying that energy on the straights. A failure of the MGU-K not only reduces power but also puts added strain on the rear brakes, which are smaller this year and controlled electronically to work in harmony with the MGU-K harvesting.
Hamilton's rear brakes eventually overheated and failed on lap 46 just after he got ahead of team-mate at the second round of pit stops.
"We knew as a team that we had some issues some part through the second stint, but we thought it would be okay to manage it and that's why we were going at the pace we were going," Hamilton said. "I jumped him [Rosberg] in the stop and I was thinking 'Wow! Finally! What a great feeling', but then straight away on that lap the brakes failed. There was nothing I could do.
"I was following him [for the first two stints] and the problem is that when you are following someone everything is gaining heat. He was in clear air the whole time in front, so there was not much I could do, and then when I came out in front everything was cooked already. It was an unfortunate day, but the team got 18 points which was good and we move on and hope that we don't have any more DNFs this year."
Mercedes executive director (technical) Paddy Lowe explained the issues faced by the two cars in more detail.
"We experienced a near-simultaneous failure of the MGU-K on both cars just after half distance, which was apparently caused by an issue in the high-voltage Control Electronics which manage the MGU-K," Lowe said. "This meant both cars lost hybrid power from this point onwards and, without the additional braking force of the MGU-K, this also put a much higher load on the rear brakes. Lewis then suffered a complete rear brake failure after his second pit stop, which was a consequence of the MGU-K fault.
"Nico was not affected in the same way and managed incredibly to maintain position from lap 37 to lap 67, making up time in the first and second sectors in order to defend in sector three, when he was considerably down on power."
Hamilton is now 22 points behind Rosberg in the standings, but is confident he can bounce back.
"I've had a lot of work to do since day one and now it's two DNFs I've had and zero to Nico. I'll keep pushing and hopefully I'll come back stronger at the next race."

Our lab's research is focused on the discovery and characterization of mechanistic and clinically useful aspects of carcinogenesis from a systems biology perspective. Using genomics technologies such as DNA microarrays, this laboratory investigates the transcriptional dynamics and genomic architectures of primary tumors and cell lines at various stages of the oncogenic process and in different clinical contexts.
Integrative analysis of genome-wide expression patterns, copy number alterations, and clinicopathologic features allows us to uncover transcriptional programs of mechanistic and prognostic relevance. This strategy has led to the identification and validation of gene expression signatures in liver, breast, ovarian and lung cancers that
- Reflect the activity of specific growth-regulating pathways
- Define known and novel tumor subtypes
- Predict clinical outcomes such as disease recurrence and therapeutic response. Examples include prognostic signatures in breast cancer that reflect the operational configuration of the TP53 pathway (Miller et al, PNAS, 2005) and delineate new prognostic tumor subtypes based on "genetic grade" (Ivshina et al, Cancer Res, 2006).
More recently, we have discovered a copy number-related transcriptional signature of disease recurrence in stage I non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) that outperforms all conventional prognostic factors, and identifies a substantial subgroup of patients that may benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy (Broët, et al, Cancer Res, 2009).
Clinico Genomic Information Pioneering
Our lab has pioneered novel data mining strategies that integrate multiple forms of clinico-genomic information (expression, copy number, patient survival) and are capable of pinpointing known and novel candidate oncogenes.
Using this approach, we have recently identified and validated a novel breast cancer oncogene at chromosome 8p11 that promotes transformation, anchorage-independent growth, invasion through matrigel, and tumor formation in mouse xenograft models with an ability to interact with and activate H-Ras.
Other candidate genes identified by this method are currently being prioritized for functional characterization based on their potential for therapeutic targeting.
RGS Discovery
In collaboration with Drs. Frank and Suzy Torti, we have recently discovered a 16-gene Iron Regulatory Gene Signature (IRGS) capable of discriminating breast cancer patient outcomes independent of routine clinical markers.

Hi all,
I am planning on doing the C2C on 12/31 to finish out 2017 but am wondering how well-marked the Skyline trail is? I did the C2T in early October with friends, and the tram to summit a few weeks after that. I plan on doing the C2C on my own, but had the luxury of being a "follower" back in October. The weather looks good for that day, and I'm confident in my physical ability - my biggest concern is getting off trail in the dark. Perhaps I should start the hike relatively later (5:00-ish in the morning?) and end the hike in the dark? I recall the trail from the tram to the summit being very easy to follow. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated!

A man enters the room, apparently comfortable with his surroundings and with those around him. Despite his large physique, he exudes a gentle demeanor and a genuine kindness as he approaches the other adults in the room. He curtly nods to a few people in the room, and then takes a seat in his usual spot. As he scans the papers in front of him, his face lights up and he points to a picture representing the day's refreshments. He smiles at the woman sitting next to him and carefully produces the words, "Want … snack." He nods again and smiles with noticeable satisfaction.
This man's name is Jim, and he is an adult with autism. Jim attends one of the two Adult Language and Pragmatics Skills (ALPS) programs offered at Towson University's Hussman Center for Adults with Autism. Like many other individuals on the autism spectrum, Jim struggles to communicate verbally and to engage in meaningful social relationships. These difficulties represent unique challenges for Jim and other adults on the spectrum. To address these challenges, Jim attends the ALPS group each week and participates in meaningful activities designed to explicitly address areas of need. The activities target communication in a variety of social contexts, and participants show subsequent improvements areas of need.
In addition to the positive changes observed with group participants, the ALPS programs also are gaining positive attention from families in the greater Baltimore community. Jim's mother recently expressed her appreciation for the ALPS group and for the noticeable improvements she sees in her son's communication. She wrote, "There are not enough words to express my gratitude to you and your team. Jim's communication did significantly increase with the Fall session. I know that your program is critical to Jim's continued progress."
So what makes the ALPS programs at Towson University effective and attractive? Some would say the impressive amenities available at Towson University's Institute for Well Being facilitate the programs' success. Admittedly, the rooms equipped with multi-media technology and the fully furnished apartment in which adults can practice skills are indeed helpful. But the ALPS groups also offer experiences purposefully designed to incorporate evidence-based practice techniques for optimal success:
- Mentor/Peer Role Models – The use of peer role models is well-supported in the literature as an evidence-based practice intervention (Llaneza, DeLuke, Batista, Crawley & Frye, 2010; McGee, Almeida, Sulzer-Azaroff & Feldman, 1992; Orsmond, Krauss & Seltzer, 2004). Mentors from the ALPS groups include graduate student clinicians earning clinical hours in the speech-language pathology program, as well as undergraduate mentors earning service learning hours. Mentors plan the group sessions as well as individualized activities to target specific goals agreed upon by mentors and participants. The mentor-participant relationship emerges as a mutually-beneficial partnership in which each party experiences growth and personal satisfaction. Participants learn from the mentors through direct modeling experiences, and the mentors gain invaluable experience with adults on the spectrum. Often, the student mentors indicate that their perceptions of autism significantly change as a result.
- Relevant Topics – To foster meaningful learning experiences relevant to the unique challenges that adults with autism face, topics are selected that directly relate to participants' everyday lives. Topics vary from semester to semester, but generally include practical themes such as nonverbal communication, managing emotions in moments of conflict, dating and relationships, self-advocacy, communication in the workplace, and increasing independence. Many participants suggest ideas for topics, and sessions are planned with the participants' specific needs in mind.
- Universal Design for Learning Standards – To target specific strengths and needs of participants in the group and to incorporate learning style preferences, sessions are planned utilizing Universal Design for Learning (UDL) guidelines. The UDL approach asserts that to best meet the individual needs of diverse groups of learners, clinicians should offer (a) multiple means of presentation, (b) multiple means of response and (c) multiple means of engagement (Rose & Gravel, 2010). The ALPS groups at Towson University incorporate UDL standards in several specific ways:
- Technology Tools – to increase engagement and to provide additional visual representation, ALPS groups routinely incorporate multi-media videos, interactive whiteboard activities, iPads, smartphones, and personal communication devices into learning experiences.
- Response systems – to facilitate and maintain engagement of the group and to include nonverbal responders, discussions are often supplemented with systems that allow all participants to answer questions and express opinions simultaneously. Pinch cards, signs, color-coded paddles and gestures are all used to facilitate each participant's communication of ideas and opinions.
- Kinesthetic and tactile experiences – to include kinesthetic/tactile learning styles and to address participants' need for movement for regulating sensory input, all sessions include activities requiring the participants to move. Sometimes the movement also serves as a mode of response (e.g., moving to a designated location in the room to indicate a choice), further integrating UDL guidelines.
- Differentiated supports – to meet the needs of individual learners in a diverse group, activities are adapted specifically for each participant. Student mentors often create and implement visual supports, and provide hierarchical prompts to promote the highest levels of success and independence.
- Experiential Learning Opportunities – to address multiple learning styles and to provide hands-on practice, sessions often include functional activities that utilize social communication skills. Group members participate in role play activities, everything from acting out scripted dyadic communication to real-world experiences like ordering food in a restaurant. Participants do not simply listen to an instructor talking about strategies for successful communication; rather, participants engage in direct and relevant experiences that target effective communication and self-advocacy.
- Social Connection Opportunities – ALPS sessions are comprised of a variety of social experiences, encouraging participants to connect with others through structured practice. Whole group, small group and individual experiences are offered weekly as group members discuss ideas and opinions relevant to the session topic. Activities that foster partnership and cooperation are also utilized, encouraging participants to step out of their comfort zone as they practice social skills.
- Reflection and Review Experiences – All participants are encouraged to reflect on their experiences and to review important strategies. Each week, participants and mentors discuss progress and identify goals for the participant to consider in the week ahead.
- FUN – As one participant freely offered, "I don't learn much when I'm bored. But I always remember the fun parts!" A preference for fun is certainly not unique to the autism population. Don't we all remember the fun parts? To maintain an enjoyable and social atmosphere, sessions are planned using central themes. Activities, snacks, and even attire may revolve around the designated theme. Past selections include favorite movie, sport, travel and holiday themes. To further the fun, ALPS groups end each semester with a celebration party in which each group member is recognized for personal achievements.
All of these techniques are integrated into meaningful ALPS sessions for the advancement of pragmatic language and social skills. Future projects at the center include studies to objectively evaluate treatment efficacy and functional outcomes of the participants and mentors. While the ALPS groups continue to adapt and improve, the current success of the programs remains readily apparent. As we work to document improvements and successes, we are continually inspired by the adults who come to our center. Adults like Jim, entering our rooms with nods and smiles, looking for fun and friendly faces. Our hope is that these special adults feel equally inspired, and that they leave our rooms feeling successfully connected.

Story highlights
- Two slain brothers are adopted, sheriff says
- 15-year-old brother -- eldest of six children -- is a natural child of the family
- He once ran away from home, and family apparently got help from church leader
- Boy has spoken "pretty bluntly" with investigators, but sheriff isn't stating motive
A 15-year-old Utah boy was arrested in connection with the slayings of his two younger adopted brothers, ages 4 and 10, who were apparently stabbed to death in their home, authorities said Thursday.
The oldest brother -- the eldest of six children -- was a natural child of the family and was baby-sitting his two younger siblings while the mother was out of the home with the other children, Sheriff Todd Richardson told reporters Thursday. The father, who's in the military, was in Alabama.
The mother called 911 Wednesday evening after finding her 4-year-old son dead in the home in West Point, Utah. Police then found the 10-year-old son dead in the lower part of the house, but they weren't sure whether the oldest child was a victim or a suspect, Richardson said.
Hours later, near midnight, police found the oldest brother miles away walking with blood stains on the street. The boy spoke "pretty bluntly" with investigators, who are trying to determine a motive, the sheriff said. He wasn't carrying any weapons, though police have found two weapons believed to have been used in the slayings, Richardson said.
The 15-year-old boy is facing two homicide charges, the sheriff said.
"He had been interviewed by one of our detectives, and there has been things that have been brought forth that is part of an active investigation, and as time goes on, it will be released as to why he did what he did," Richardson said.
"I don't want to speculate what was going through his mind, but he is a natural child of the family and the two children who were victims in this were both adopted," the sheriff added.
The 15-year-old boy once ran away from home, and in that incident, the family apparently received assistance from a church leader, the sheriff added.
"On that one prior time, he did a runaway, and we located him, so we don't have a longstanding history file on him," Richardson said.
The family "did an intervention through their ecclesiastic leadership, and as far as anything through law enforcement or the state, it's my understanding that they didn't" do any more, Richardson said.
Prosecutors have yet to file charges or decide whether to charge the youth as an adult, said Sgt. Susan Poulsen with Davis County Sheriff's Office.
The boy's name wasn't being released because he is a juvenile, authorities said.
The father, believed to be in the Air Force, was returning home, Richardson said.
During the initial search of the family home, deputies found the body of the 10-year-old boy, who like his younger brother, had "traumatic injuries," the sheriff's office said.
"Obviously the mother is very distraught," Richardson said.
Just before midnight Wednesday, investigators from several jurisdictions found the oldest son in the Layton area, about eight miles from West Point, and he was taken to the hospital for the evaluation of minor injuries, authorities said. He is being held in Farmington Bay Youth Detention Center.
"We believe the suspect acted alone, and no other suspects are at large," the sheriff's office said in a statement.
Both boys' "manner of death appears to be consistent with penetrating knife wounds," the sheriff's office said. The medical examiner's office has yet to determine the cause of death.
The sheriff couldn't detail the wounds Thursday.
"I've been in this job for a long time, so the things that look like defensive wounds turn out not to be," said Richardson, who has worked in law enforcement and as a paramedic for more than 25 years.
