Home ... What We Do ... Resources ... Fact Sheets ... Causes and Prevention of Intellectual Disability
Intellectual disability is a disability that occurs before age 18. People with this disability experience significant limitations in two main areas: 1) intellectual functioning and 2) adaptive behavior (the use of everyday social and practical skills) (AAIDD, 2010). Intellectual disability is diagnosed through the use of standardized tests of intelligence and adaptive behavior (and cannot be determined by IQ alone). People with intellectual disability who are provided appropriate personalized supports over a sustained period generally have improved life outcomes. In fact, many adults with intellectual disability live independent, productive lives in the community with support from family, friends and agencies like The Arc.
Intellectual disability can be caused by any condition that impairs development of the brain before birth, during birth or in the childhood years. Several hundred causes have been discovered, but in about one-third of the people affected, the cause remains unknown. The three major known causes of intellectual disability are Down syndrome, Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) and Fragile X syndrome. The causes can be categorized as follows:
During the past 30 years, significant advances in research have prevented many cases of intellectual disability. For example, every year in the United States, we prevent:
Other interventions have reduced the chance of intellectual disability. Removing lead from the environment reduces brain damage in children. Preventive interventions such as child safety seats and bicycle helmets reduce head trauma. Early intervention programs with high-risk infants and toddlers have shown positive effects on intellectual functioning. Finally, early comprehensive prenatal care and preventive measures prior to and during pregnancy increase a woman's chances of preventing intellectual disability. Dietary supplementation with folic acid, taken before and during pregnancy, reduces the risk of neural tube defects. Women who have phenylketonuria (PKU) should be counseled to go on a restricted phenylalanine diet three months prior to pregnancy to prevent intellectual disability in their baby.
The health of a baby can depend on how healthy a mother is before pregnancy. Ideally, she should obtain a general health assessment six months before pregnancy that includes:
Prenatal care should begin as soon as she suspects she is pregnant. During pregnancy, a woman can protect the developing fetus by:
Genetic counseling should be considered if:
Intellectual disability can be prevented during childhood by knowing the causes and taking steps to keep children safe and healthy. These steps include:

Page 2 THE CLARION Friday, January 29, 1954
It's Wednesday night and again the din-ning
hall gives the appearance of a fashion-able
cafeteria. The tables are lighted by.
flickering candles, soft pleasant dinner mu-sic
floats across the room, the food being
served is excellent, the atmosphere is
perfect for a delightful dinner. Properly
dressed students begin entering the din-ing
hall when all of a sudden the inevitable
happens. Here came a few students attired
in clothing which under the circumstances
are completely boorish and signify their own
sheer laziness or inferior upbringing. The
trouble is that this scene is not a rarity but
a much too common occurance. Knowing.
Bethel students I would not attribute this
problem to inferior upbringing but to the
evil of our day—"a lust for laziness."
Little do these individuals realize that the
dining hall goes through a lot of trouble in
order to make it pleasant for the students
and to give them a lovely dinner atmo-sphere.
Little do they realize that the
school has spent money for a record player
and records in order to provide them with
excellent dinner music. Little do they real-ize
that as members of our society they are
obligated to do their share in making such
things as dress up nights enjoyable by con-forming
to the practice. It is pathetic that
at a school like Bethel we have such anti-social,
boorish and thoughtless behavior by a
number of students who refuse to co-operate
in the things in life which are considered to
be the finer and more pleasant practices.
It's time the offenders were made aware of
the feeling of those who appreciate dress
up nights and enjoy them. Let's make this
problem one of the past by everyone com-plying
to the practice of Wednesday night
dress up dinners.
Will You Help?
by Palosaari and Richardson
You are invited to help make this page
AS,t+,-- The feature editors are continually
at Their own fingernails and each
others' throats for want of the best possible
articles to print here.
Those individuals wishing to submit ar-ticles
of humor, special or human interest,
devotion, or creative imagination are en-couraged
to do so. It is our desire to make
this page of as high caliber as possible. The
person contributing articles does not need
a special invitation to write for the CLAR-ION;
he may hand to us at anytime what-ever
free lance material he has produced.
In addition to any contributions in the
line of articles, it would be extremely help-ful
to the feature editors if comments of
commendation or censure would be made
directly to them before others are ap-proached
or reproached. Inasmuch as in a
very real way they determine largely what
is included on this page, a direct reference
to them of helpful criticism or severe cor-rection
would be most effectual.
Although in this very issue and certain
others we have infringed upon our own
rules, nevertheless it is the policy of this
paper not to print letters to the editor un-less
the writers sign their names. In each in-stance
it is not always necessary that a per-son's
ful name be printed, but we should
know each author for each letter.
By working together rather than in worth-less
contempt of one another, we sincerely
hope to issue a better and more profitable
feature page. Since you have thus been in-vited
to contribute to this page, we hope
that you will be fair and kind in your eval-uation
and .conversation concerning those
who do write our articles.
Notice: Due to recent developments we
are sorry that this issue will not run
the second installment of the all-college
essay contest. The abundance of other
material hampered the including of the
usual essay article. Also, there arose
among the editorial staff some question
concerning the selection of the sopho-more
prize-winning essay.
Water, Water
Ronnie Poiosaari
It is my firm belief that a person should
aim for the top and become very profic-ient
in whatever he undertakes. That is
why I look with great sadness at this
year's crop of waterfighters, who are bas-ically
unskilled. Waterfighting is a sport,
and weak waterfighters cast discredit on
the fine American tradition of sports.
Of course, it isn't really necessary to go
into the benefits of waterfighting; but,
for those who are not familiar with the
sport, I suppose I can point out a few
good points. It is one of the most vigorous
and healthful of indoor sports. In it many
more boys get baths, clothes washed, and
floors scrubbed. In fact, if it were not for
waterfights, many would never . . . Well,
maybe that's a step too far, but it is a
very clean sport.
In starting a waterfight, there are two
basic ways which seem best. Find a friend
who has slightly irritated you by some
trivial thing like dating your girl or put :.
ting salt in your pajamas. Wait until he
is taking a shower, then get a small pail
of cold water, carefully sneak up and
douse him. He then is is position to start
a counter-attack. Now it may be argued
that some of my friends nev-- seldom take
showers. That is where the second way is
useful. Wait until your friend is in his
room, take a chair and put it in front of
his door, and lean a pail from the seat of
the chair to the door. Then run down the
hall and yell "Telephone for Joe Dokes"—
bingo, you soon have a fine waterfight
going strong.
Once the fight is started it will go along
fine through the middle stage. Just re-member
to have a fresh supply of water
at hand and don't get caught by Wally.
The real test of the waterfight, howev-er,
is the final step leading to victory.
First, concentrate the battle in your op-ponent's
room. The advantage is obvious
when it comes to cleaning up. Then, if
necessary, use a shield, preferably one of
your opponent's shirts. It is surprising
how fast that will ruin his offense.
To achieve a smashing victory, it is
absolutely necessary to have a secret wea-pon.
Retreat and get your opponent very,
very confident. Then lay hold of a can of
Rapid Shave and direct the stream of la-ther
under pressure toward your opponent.
It is amazing what the sticky stream of
lather will do to insure a victory.
.eedivis ta the ecido4
Dear Editor,
There once was a time not too far in the
distant past when you would have felt very
conpicuous if you forgot to dress up on
Wednesday evening. But recently you feel
conspicuous on dress-up night if you have
dressed up. I noticed the distinct differ-ence
in wearing apparel from overall pants
and bright flannel shirts to suits and ties;
from bobbie socks to Sunday dresses and all
the trimmings
The trend toward not-dressing-up seems
to be on the increase lately. This fact dis-turbed
me more than usual last dress-up
night. In a lull in the dinner table convers-ation
I counted nine out of twenty-five fel-lows
who came through the line dressed in
suit coats and ties. In plain words only one
third of the fellows were ready for dress-up
night at that particular moment. Maybe
the percentage was not that high for the
total group. However, a quick glance around
the dining hall would tell you that those
who were dressed up were few and far be-tween
according to former standards. None
of these fellows who neglected to dress up
were basketball players (as if that should
make a difference). Of the numerous offend-ders
were seminary men as well as college
men. Likewise many of the fairer sex were
in their classroom atire. It seems as though
it's the style to slip by the dress-up tradi-tion
by wearing anything just as long as it
serves the purpose.
If dress-up night is not to become a has-been
around Bethel we are going to have
to do something about dressing up on Wed-nesday
A Dressed-up Observer
by President Wingblade
If speech is silver and silence is gold,
then it behooves each of us to learn how to
be attentively and thoughtfully silent.
Often when there is a testimony or prayer
meeting the leader becomes rather ner-vous
if there is silence. But if the Holy
Spirit is present in the meeting there is no
need to worry about the silence. Something
is happening.
How prone we are to talk. And conver-sation
can be very edifying and inspiring.
But a great saint of other days has said
that the average person cannot talk very-long
before he runs out of the high and ed-ifying
— and then he is likely to speak that
which is idle chatter and even sin.
Good listeners are much appreciated and
in great demand. If you would be a real
friend you must learn how to listen. And
if you would enter into the deepest exper-iences
with God, you must learn how to be
The great prophets were great listeners—
Moses, Elijah, Elisha, Isaiah, and also John
the Baptist and Paul. Ma y of Bethany
loved most to listen to Him, and some think
that she understood better His work of re-demption
than even Peter and James and
John — before the crucifixion.
Carlyle speaks of "the eternal silence."
"Be still and know." We find out by being
still and listening. A student of other years
would come into our office to seek advice —
and then do most of the talking. We are
prone to do that with God.
Would you be appreciated by your
friends, and would you know God's will?
Learn to be still and to listen.
Cold War Casualty
by Rip Moore
BNS -L A new outburst of hostilities on
the front lines threatened a renewal of the
cold war on January 19, army sources re-vealed
Cpl. Cal Fernlund, who was standing
guard on a manhole cover on the Arona
sector near Larp ridge at the time of the
attack, told reporters his story in the base
hospital at Betheljong. "Before I knew what
was coming off they were on top of me.
They stabbed me in the face in the ears in
the chest in the arm in the ears—I turned
and ran—there was nothing to do but run—
my ears were throbbing — my hands dived
for cover — my ears were numb now — they
kept COMill'— millions of 'em —" At this
point in his story, Fernlund broke down
Cpl. Fernlund was modest, army medics
pointed out. Actually, he stood his ground
against the first attack wave so courage-ously
that he beat his left ear to a bloody
pulp. Now improving, the corporal expects
release from the hospital within a few
months. Skin grafts on the maimed ear
will restore it to almost original condition.
The attack was successfully repulsed, and
no other casualties were reported. However,
all regiments stationed in the Arona sector
have been issued ear muffs.
by Ronnie and Stretch
Have you noticed a rather strange stu-dent
next to you in any of your classes? If
you have, you may be interested in know-ing
the situation. To the best of my knowl-edge
this is the first time the true story
has come out.
During Christmas vacation I made a pil-grimage
to the heart of Africa to view the
iniana missions. During this trip I acquired
a fairly bright chimpanzee. I grew quite
fond of dear Axel-1 named hkm Axel —
and could not part with him when vacation
was over. The only thing to do was to take
him back to Bethel as a pet.
The trouble started the first day I took
him to the student center. Frightened by
the noise of the malted milk machine, he
tore from my grasp and bolted up the
stairs. To our great misfortune he by
chance got in the registration line. Some-how
he got signed up for advanced basket
weaving, prehistoric sociology, communica-tions,
and freshman conference. Now even
then I could have kept poor Axel out of
college by not paying his bill, but unfortu-nately
a sem student nearly laughed at my
chimp. I confess I didn't like that and so
got into an argument with him. Finally,
I told the sem student that not only did
my chimp register but I though he could
get through college and seminary by him-self.
Determined to go through with the
idea, I got Axel to work a couple of days
filling out a student loan application. He
got the loan; he passed the entrance tests
(in fact he was in the upper third); and be-hold,
he was a college student. I have to
admit that, despite my objections, he was
rolled as a special student.
All has not been a bed of roses, but I
soon found several complications connected
with having a chimpanzee in college. The
first such complication was dress-up night.
I had a terrible time with Axel because he
wanted to come in bib overalls and stocking
feet like the rest of the boys. The next
problem was teaching him manners. I
didn't get to eat with him much so he went
with the rest to eat. The only trouble then
was that he learned best by imitation, so
his manners aren't what they should be. But
he can sink a crumpled napkin into a milk
glass with amazing accuracy.
He had a rather depressing influence on
the boys' dorm. There was a general drop
in morale because he was beating every-body
in ping pong. It finally got so bad
that he shut out Torn Warden 11 to 0 twice
in a row. Tom was so depressed he quit
ping pong, went out, and got a job at (of
all places) Monkey Words. After that I
made him quit ping pong.
As far as classes go, it is still too early to
make predictions, but he seems to be doing
pretty good. The only class he really has
had any trouble with was freshman confer-ence.

A newcomer this year to the

18, of Brown's Valley, Minn.
Frank, 6 ft. and 157 lbs., has al-ready
proven himself to be a
tremendous asset to the hoopsters.
In high school he excelled in the
fields of football, track, baseball,
and of course, basketball.
Frank, who is a conscientious

"The team is improving all the
time," he expressed himself. "I
feel that all we need is the exper-ience

agreed with other squad members
that there seems to be a lack in
school spirit, but perhaps it's due
to the record of wins this season.

The contest, scheduled to begin at 8:15, didn't actually get under
way until 8:40 because the referees forgot to come. However, worse
than this was the fact that after the game had officially begun, the
Royals chose to hold off their scoring for 5 minutes, and then broke
into the scoring column only on a free throw by Conrad. The first

Think Fast! Sackler Brain Bench – Neuroscience of Sports: Your Brain in Action main content.
by AMNH on
What happens in the brain of a baseball player as a 100-mph pitch hurtles toward him? How does a surfer on her board analyze the nuances of an evolving wave? In the upcoming five-week course for adults Sackler Brain Bench – Neuroscience of Sports: Your Brain in Action, which starts Monday, September 16, experts including Columbia University Medical Center neurosurgeon and neuroscientist Sameer Sheth will explain more about the neuroscience of athletics. Dr. Sheth recently spoke with us about his research into rapid decision-making.
How did you become interested in neuroscience?
I have always had a fascination with the brain and how relatively little we know about it. Although its gross substance resembles a bowl of wobbling Jell-O, its workings are amazingly intricate! How does this bowl of Jell-O enable us to think these incredible thoughts and dreams, interact with people, communicate, and build civilizations? For me, it is a wonderful opportunity to be able to stand back and think about all that.
Could you describe your research at Columbia University?
Clinically, I specialize in functional neurosurgery. I deal with disorders of brain function, like Parkinson's disease and epilepsy.
My research focuses on decision-making, cognition, and other higher-level brain functions—as opposed to basic motor or sensory functions. As a neurosurgeon I have the ability to use techniques that are somewhat unique, such as electrode recordings of the human brain in action. They allow me to study aspects of the brain that differentiate us from our nearest evolutionary neighbors, non-human primates. Specifically, I study how the human brain has developed to optimize rapid decision-making based on changing cues in the environment.
What will you be discussing in your lecture at the Sackler Brain Bench – Neuroscience of Sports: Your Brain in Action course on Monday, September 30?
I'll be focusing on one of my particular interests: how the brain is able to rapidly make decisions. This is very applicable to professional athletes. The human brain—especially the pre-frontal region—has developed special mechanisms that allow it to efficiently make rapid decisions by controlling the way it receives and processes cues from the environment.
For example, a professional baseball player engages this mechanism when he is facing a major league pitcher; it allows him to gather an amazing amount of information about the ball's movement, velocity, and spin in order to make a rapid decision to slightly adjust his swing. On the other hand, the same player taking practice swings with a pitching machine where the ball is coming at him from the same angle and with the same velocity every time does not need to engage that same type of control mechanism.
At the session on Monday, September 30, I will be discussing the study, and the workings and applications of this mechanism.
How are you able to study the brain and learn about these systems in such great detail?
There are a variety of ways to study this. A lot of people have engaged various imaging techniques, like getting an MRI of the brain. There is a particular type of MRI, called functional MRI (fMRI), that allows us to study brain function—not just what the brain looks like, but what parts of the brain are engaged during a specific activity.
The unique ability that we have as neurosurgeons is that we are operating on areas of the brain and in some instances we need to record selective activity in order to successfully preform the surgery. In these cases, if the patient consents, we have the opportunity to study those parts of the brain. During the surgery we can have the patient engage in decision-making tasks such as the Stroop task, which I will describe in my talk, while placing an electrode in a particular part of the brain to record the activity of individual neurons. These types of procedures allow us to study the human brain with a level of precision that is unparalleled.
Don't miss Dr. Sheth and other experts explain the intricate details of the workings of the brain in this fall's Sackler Brain Bench – Neuroscience of Sports: Your Brain in Action course.

By Lou Mallory, Chairperson of the Wood County Historical Commission
When residents of Wood County, after a hard day's work, retired to their beds on the night of Tuesday, April 8, 1919, little did they know that by early Wednesday morning April 9, 1919 many lives would be lost or changed forever.
The cyclone on that morning took the lives of many of them and many others were injured. It should be noted that many of the farmers and others had white and black tenants who lived in small "shotgun" houses and were not built to withstand high wind or a storm as deadly as this one.
This cyclone (tornado) was the greatest catastrophe to ever hit Wood County. In a small rural county whose population was slightly less then 2,300 in the 1920 census the loss of life and injuries plus the destruction of many houses, schoolhouses and outbuildings this storm" had a profound effect. The damages and loss was estimated at nearly a half million dollars but worst yet was the 23 county residents whose lives were lost, and the 56 others who were injured. The damages covered the 71 homes completely wrecked and the 55 others damaged along with two schoolhouses.
The lives lost in this catastrophe were more than the county lost in the First World War just ended.
As bad as the storm and the deaths, injuries and property damages that occurred If not for the residents who heard the wind and rain and went to their storm cellars from the reports gathered about 50 residents had escaped physical harm while their dwelling places were completely destroyed.
The storm entered Wood County about a mile and a half southeast of Mineola and was said to have cut a path a mile wide through the entire county.
Some of the areas documented to have sustained heavy damage were Mineola, the Lake Fork area, and the communities of Oak Grove, Stout, Vernon, Westbrook, Musgrove and Spring Hill. After the devastation caused in these small communities, they began to decline and are today gone and virtually forgotten.
Based on both oral and written reports, the storm is believed to have first hit Canton this morning and that is documented by a Dallas Morning News article dated April 10, 1919. Other Dallas Morning News reports of April 10 described the damage done in the Winnsboro area, and another tells of the storm that hit Bonham the same morning.
The storm in the Bonham area causes extensive damages, and it was reported that the storm first struck near Trenton and extended in spots to the Red River.
The citizens of Wood County weathered this catastrophe and through the years have worked hard to bring back the beauty and splendor or this beautiful area of East Texas.

Morenci city council turned to a firm from Ludington, Mich., to handle the demolition of the former Grange Hall and the abandoned residence to the south.
Among eight bids received, council went with the low bid of $25,000 from Smalley Construction to demolish two Orchard Street buildings.
Bids ranged as high as $62,500, a fact that caused councilor Leasa Slocum to ask why such a discrepancy exists.
Mayor Keith Pennington said the company was researched to make sure it was adequate to get the job done appropriately.
City supervisor Barney Vanderpool said Smalley Construction has its own in-house asbestos processing equipment. He believes that could make a difference in the bid prices.
Weather permitting, said city adminstrator/clerk Renée Schroeder, she expects demolition to be complete by the end of March. Final grading and seeding would depend on weather conditions.
The Grange Hall was constructed in 1923 and has been used for a variety of uses including a community center and dance instruction facility. The residence to the south had been rented by Van Havel Homes.
The demolition will allow Orchard Street to be widened in conjunction with the parking lot rehabilitation and expansion project. The $761,000 project includes CDBG infrastructure improvement grant of nearly $600,000.
GRANTS—The Morenci Fire Department is in line for $3,050 grant through the Michigan DNR for the purchase of brush fire masks, two radios and a replacement for the portable pump used on the Ranger vehicle. The department is required to make a 50 percent match.
The department will also receive a Public Safety Interoperability Communications grant to upgrade radios. The department will contribute 25 percent of the nearly $8,000 cost.
The radio upgrade project has been in the works for about five years, said fire chief Chad Schisler.

Do you work in the financial sector and is your company breaking consumer laws? The U.S. government's new consumer financial watchdog would very much like you to tell them all about it.
The Consumer Financial Protection Agency announced Thursday that it's inviting tips from whistleblowers on violations of Federal consumer protection laws.
[Read related articles on the CFPB]
Financial sector whistleblowers have gotten primetime attention recently with a 60 Minutes investigation that revealed how former big bank employees' warnings of systemic mortgage fraud went ignored.
Eileen Foster, a former senior executive with now-defunct mortgage giant Countrywide Financial said she saw company recycle bins filled with altered documents using signatures that had been cut and photocopied from other documents.
When asked just how extensive the fraud at Countrywide was, she said: "From what I saw, the types of things I saw … it appeared systemic. It wasn't just one individual, or two or three individuals; it was branches of individuals, it was regions of individuals."
[Resource: Get your free Credit Report Card]
The CFPB also reminds would-be tipsters that the law protects them from employer retaliation. According to the Dodd-Frank Act, a "covered employee" can't be discriminated against or fired if they refuse to violate consumer financial laws in the course of their job, if they tip off the government about the violation of laws, or testify or file a lawsuit regarding a potential violation. ( This page on the Department of Labor's website can help you figure out if these protections apply to you.)
The Bureau says informants can email them at email@example.com or call (855) 695-7974.

Large size DTH hammers and bits, are most commonly used within construction projects for piling and foundation drilling. This market segment is one of our weak spots in China, and therefore one of our key focus areas for improvements this year.
On Christmas Day last year, the China CC received an order for a QL 300 with a drill bit of 1m in diameter. The products were manufactured in Zhangjiakou factory on time, in late February. Delivery in March, and start-up led by our own Product Specialist Yan-Po Wang, who also assisted and oversaw the drilling the first two weeks on site.
The drilling site is located in Hunan province, in central region of China. This large project by Hunan Environmental Protection Group is the building of a waste incineration power station. Incineration basically means the burn of waste materials to generate heat and electricity. Commissioning of the power station is scheduled for 2017.
The customer is a drilling contractor named Chongqing TED pile foundation co. LTD. They were previously using another brand of drilling consumables, made in South Korea. They realized that they were going to struggle to complete all the required holes on time. They knew about our powerful QL 300 hammer, and decided to try it, with the aim of improving the drilling productivity. At this stage of the project, their task was to drill 120 root pile holes, 1m in diameter with a hole depth of between 9 m and 25 m each. The rock consisted of Granite with a high content of quartz/silica (<50 %), and a hardness ranging from 60 to 130 MPa. The rock had a development of longitudinal cracks.
The desired hole size of 1 m (1000 mm) is actually outside the recommended hole size range for the Kukje (South Korean manufacturer) hammer. The oversized bit has a negative impact on the drilling speed due to the K640 hammers' relatively light piston. The K640 hammer is shorter in length, and has a smaller outer diameter, which restricts the capacity and efficiency in flushing. With less than ideal flushing you will experience low penetration rate as well as excess of abrasive wear on the drill bit and the hammer.
The QL 300 require slightly more air volume to hold equally high air pressure as the K640 hammer. However, with the current air package available on the drill rig, the QL 300 still performed at a >20 % higher penetration rate, yet working on a lower air pressure than the K640 hammer.
The Atlas Copco drill bit has several advantages over the Korean made bit. The shank of the bit (the part that mounts inside the hammer) is of a different design. The bit is much heavier and stronger to start with. The 1 m diameter of the bit head is bang in the middle of the recommended hole sizes, which assures good service life and high reliability with a minimum risk of failures. Our drill bit also does not use a foot valve, which minimizes the risk for failure. The Secoroc bit also has a unique design of the flushing grooves, for more efficient evacuation of the cuttings. This adds to faster penetration rate as well as improved wear characteristics of the drill bit. Furthermore, our L-type design of drive pins helps reduce spline wear and heat to build-up.
The higher productivity from using the QL 300 helped the customer to complete the 120 root pile holes on time. "The customer is impressed by the productivity from the QL 300, who also commented on the clean holes created, which helps with the concrete pouring." says Yan-Po Wang, our DTH Product Specialist based in China. "And for the next project the customer plans to add one more air compressor to further increase the penetration rate. To maximize the benefits from drilling with the QL 300!" adds Yan-Po.
Claes Hillblom, Regional Business Manager
"I want to congratulate and thank Yan-Po, who has done a fantastic job in supporting the Customer centre throughout the entire process in this project; from winning the order to start-up and problem solving on site. Based on this success story and the new-found knowledge about the potential business to be won in China, the Customer centre has decided to invest in their own technical sales engineers with specific focus on the construction industry and the use of large DTH products in China"

Advertisers need to keep many factors in mind when marketing to Hispanics, and technology is a key one of them. Hispanics are early adopters of the latest devices, including Internet-enabled TVs, e-readers and iPads.
They're also slightly more likely than the overall population to own a mobile phone. The Internet is a prime source of entertainment, and social media are a big part of that, with Hispanics spending more hours a day on social networks than other ethnic groups or races.

But the skeptics were legion: the Wall Street Journal, while accepting the numbers at face value, said, "Even with the recent gains, this is by far the worst jobs recovery since the Great Depression, and the U.S. still has about 5.5 million fewer jobs that it did before the recession began in December 2007." Across town, the Washington Times said the numbers looked better than they should because of the number of young people dropping out and the paper even found an economist at the Federal Reserve to agree with it. Brian Holter, who works at the Minneapolis Fed, said: "However these factors stack up, the improvement in unemployment is largely the work of declining participation rates and, unfortunately, not job growth."
John Ransom, writing at Townhall.com, was blunt in his assessment of the BLS report:
Another 1.2 million people dropped out of the workforce, which means that the Bureau of Labor Statistics economists can say that unemployment has moved down to 8.3 percent without that messy job-creation thing getting in the way.
Daniel Mitchell, also writing at Townhall.com, showed his readers a graph of declining unemployment rates since November of 2010 and said Republicans should take credit for the improvement which "began almost precisely at the moment they took control of the House of Representatives." Anthony Wile told his subscribers that "the idea of an up-trending of the US economy is nothing more than a bald-faced lie, the most devious kind of propaganda." He added:
The US is not in recovery, from my point of view. The US cannot be in recovery as a collective economy because the economy itself is filled with propped-up enterprises that in turn support the failed, monopoly fiat-money system that the power elite for the moment insists on continuing…
The charade expands because there is no other way, apparently, to re-elect Obama. And Obama is seemingly important to the power elite's plans to create world government. They seem to want to keep him in power for another four years.
Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul noted in an interview with CNN's Piers Morgan on Friday night that there is an "under-reported element" in the latest jobs numbers and that "if you admit the truth, we [the Bureau of Labor Statistics] quit counting people."
An unnamed pundit and poet put together a parody of Abbot and Costello trying to explain to each other the difference between being "unemployed" and "out of work." It is viciously hilarious.
And of course President Obama himself had little difficulty restraining himself, assuring, "The recovery is speeding up, and we've got to do everything in our power to keep it going." He then said he had a message for Congress: "Do not slow down the recovery we're on now. Don't muck it up."
After the skeptics had finished venting, John Mauldin took the time actually to read the BLS report and then pointed out in his weekly newsletter that a lot of the numbers in the BLS January report were heavily adjusted for changes that had taken place in its base numbers over the last year, partly because of the census data they were now incorporating into their analyses. Said Mauldin, "There were some extensive revisions." He added:
The number in the work force did not actually drop. Those who thought so completely missed [the point] that this million+ people isn't some new January phenomenon but a result of the BLS using the 2010 census data to have more accurate data.
In other words, the changes in the Household Survey to the various measures had taken place over the years prior to 2010 but, for simplicity's sake, the BLS incorporate[d] them into one month.
Mauldin then took a step back from the immediate report to see how the economy has been doing over the past several years, job-wise. Using numbers from the St. Louis Federal Reserve, Mauldin noted his disappointment at both the partisans celebrating the news and the naysayers decrying it:
What is not amusing [to me] is the reality that is masked by the joyful response of the stock market to the good news. This was a good employment number, not a great one. It takes about 125,000 new jobs just to keep up with population growth each month. That means we created roughly 120,000 jobs that helped bring down the unemployment number. The US economy has created almost 3 million jobs in the last two years. That means we only need another 7 million to get back to where we were in 2007! … [Emphasis added.]
If we create 250,000 jobs a month, it will take almost five years to get back to where we were in 2007.
It's one thing to present false data appearing true. It's another to accept it at face value and then draw improper conclusions from it. "Figures can lie…" goes the saying.

A Statement From The Weekly Project Verse Judges
The only rules in print are the rules you agreed to abide by when you applied to participate in Project Verse.
Is the collective work of each contestant important?
One of the prizes of Project Verse is a chapbook deal with two guaranteed book reviews in two fine publications. The poems from the competition will help create and shape the Project Verse winner's chapbook. YES, the collective work of each poet is extremely important. Just like on Project Runway, especially toward the end of the competition, the body of work throughout the competition becomes more important in determining which of the lowest ranked contestants each week will go home. As we move into the last half of Project Verse, overall performance will play a larger factor in which of two lowest ranked competitors that week goes on permanent caesura. This shouldn't surprise you.
Keep up the good work,
The Weekly Project Verse Judges

Okay, I get it. But not really.
Here's the "print" portion you refer to --
Each Monday, an assignment will be posted in I Was Born Doing Reference Work in Sin. Poets will have to complete and submit the assignment by noon Friday of the same week. The judges will read and score the assignments over the weekend, and the judgment will be posted in I Was Born Doing Reference Work in Sin the following Monday.
To me, that says "The judges will read and score THE ASSIGNMENTS over the weekend". Nothing about judging your "body of work" every week is mentioned.
Obviously, you guys are in charge. And you'll do what you want. But that doesn't mean I have to like it.
Do you realize, though, what this means? It means that the contest winner has already been determined. The person who has won the most weekly competitions, or has had the least "bottoms", will no doubt win. Why even hold the rest of the competition?
The main reason this is upsetting to me (I'll only speak for myself) is because it's new.
I understand that this is the first go-round for Project Verse, and there are wrinkles that have to be ironed out, but this particular solution seems TOTALLY without logic.
Whoever is left standing at the end of the contest, be it three poets or two, the winner will obviously be the poet who has had the most success in previous weeks. No suspense, no equity.
I still have one major question -- one poet got THREE "no" votes, the other poet got TWO. Why was there any "determination" necessary? Why was there a need to choose between THREE and TWO?
- July 27, 2009 at 3:58:00 PM PDT
- W.F. said...
Sorry -- the vote count was four to three. Same difference.

Hey, calling the show Project Verse and modeling it after Project Runway makes the deliberation model pretty clear.
Now don't throw stuff at me. I throw back. And I bite. ;)
- July 27, 2009 at 4:19:00 PM PDT
- Dustin Brookshire said...
I second Dana's statement.
However, I don't bite. I pull hair.
- July 27, 2009 at 4:20:00 PM PDT
- Dana said...
Dustin, we'd be great in bed. If we were into each other. I am just saying.
- July 27, 2009 at 4:24:00 PM PDT
- W.F. said...
Such smug responses to serious questions.
Still no answer to my question -- if there was a clear loser, why did you guys have to deliberate at all? 4 is bigger than 3, right? So the person with 4 votes should go home, right?
I guess not.
I posted serious questions that were addressed with silliness, and I was totally blown off.
If you expect respect, you should offer it.
- July 27, 2009 at 4:36:00 PM PDT
- Dana said...
I wasn't trying to be smug, and the post Dustin posted *is* a serious response to your question.
- July 27, 2009 at 4:38:00 PM PDT
- Dustin Brookshire said...
Dana and I added humor to our comments. I know I added humor because you have proven that you tend to get a little too hot--- the humor was meant to soothe the boiling that I imagine has already started with your temper. I can't speak for Dana, but I bet her reasons for being humorous are about the same. She can correct me if I am wrong.
Your answer: Watch a few seasons of Project Runway. Project Verse is modeled after Project Runway, and that has never been a secret.
The competition isn't over; therefore, there is no winner.
over and out,

I really don't appreciate all the talk about my "temper". I didn't get personal with you guys, please don't get personal with me.
I've said what I have to say, and it is clear that much of what I said isn't going to be addressed.

There is only one edict that should be followed: MAKE IT WORK.
- July 27, 2009 at 5:55:00 PM PDT
reality TV is full of these kinds of dramas. in fact, there's always the contestant who starts strong and can't pull through in the end. there's always the contestant who kicks ass the final quarter or third of the competition but has previously been relatively quiet. then there's always the battle royale over who deserves it more: the consistent one? the one who came out fast and started strong? or the one who improved and rocked it in the end?
(can you tell i'm a reality TV whore? i'm only *slightly* ashamed of it.)
i don't think it's over 'til it's over. i don't know any of the contestants but i do know i couldn't write if i were worried about politics instead of poetry. unsolicited advice from the sidelines: no matter how sure you are that you're right, shake it off! write brilliant poems for the rest of the competition! make it really really hard for the judges!
- July 27, 2009 at 6:36:00 PM PDT
oh, crap. i think i just said the same thing as collin kelley. except he was smart and concise. it took me 160 ranting words. that's why he's collin kelley and i am not. :)

I wasn't going to jump in here, because I didn't want to add to the negativity. But, I feel awful that a poem I worked hard on and cared a lot about was an epic fail with the judges, I feel awful that Emari was booted, and I'm now feeling triply awful that I'm being singled out as a "favorite", and someone else here is being pointed to as being "weak."
I'm very appreciative that the judges took into account that they've liked the poems I written in the past. It was well within their right to boot me this week, and I dodged a bullet. It was clear to me, reading the comments, that the poem just didn't work. But I have no control over the decision they made, and I certainly don't feel like anyone is being set up to win. We've still got 5 more weeks, and every single time, I sweat bullets. Of everyone here, I probably have the least experience and formal education in poetry. I'm very grateful to be here, and I don't take anything for granted.
I'm not saying that we all have to hold hands and sing, but I'd really appreciate a slight elevation in the discourse that's going on here. It was never my wish to be the harbinger of bad feelings and anger.
Alright, I've said my piece. Now I need to get to work on my poem.
Best to everyone this week,
- July 27, 2009 at 6:43:00 PM PDT
- Emily said...
Kristen- amen to the discourse, and please cease feeling badly about anything. Your poems are an absolute delight.

Dates: 23- 25 September, 2011
Venue: Magdalene College and McDonald Institute, Cambridge, England
Approaches to identity in the European Iron Age. Integrating South-Eastern Europe into the debate
Issues of identity and ethnicity have gained much in popularity in the last two decades. A considerable number of studies have been dedicated to investigating how small and large scale solidarities were constructed and maintained and how they were reflected at the level of the individual. Archaeology has been dealing with identity, and especially with ethnicity issues, as far back as Kossinna's time, but modern approaches are radically different, emphasising dynamic and fluid construction

"I thought I was through with this day. All I wanted to do was unplug the phone, pour myself a bourbon, glance through the clippings concerning a particular case, just to check, and switch off the lights except for the old lamp on my desk. Maybe I'll fall asleep right here, in my office. So there I was, sitting alone in the feeble light and silence, when she came in. Annie. She did not knock before she entered the room but quietly closed the door and turned towards me. I was barely able to see her, but I could imagine her large eyes, her smile. She whispered an ethereal 'Hello', her voice mingling with the plumes of smoke. The night had just begun…"
The Black Dahlia . That was my first thought when Annie Clark came into the office. I could not really imagine her before I actually met her, but there she was, standing upright in front of us, smiling, delightfully old-fashioned. Shiny stilettos, a straight skirt, a jacket cut just above the waist, huge eyes and wild hair. As if she had just gotten out from an old movie, or from another dimension. She looked amazing, but there was much more to come.
We led her to an apartment overlooking the rooftops of Paris, a boudoir full of old Chinese-style furniture, faded photographs, eaves and loads of books stacked up on shelves covering the walls. The place was filled by her cinematic presence. Whether on a balcony with a panoramic view on Paris, or lying down on a silk bedspread, the whole place resounded with her voice, humming Bowie's "Five Years" when the silence was too sweltering. We were all fascinated–well, let's say it, completely mesmerized. Of course, we overacted a bit, and so did she. Annie was acting coy, but only because we egged her on.
When you listen to "Marry Me", you immediately think about how Annie Clark collects bits and pieces from every kind of woman, trying and be all of them. In this album—which is almost a little too dense–one can see a bit of PJ Harvey, a dash of Feist, something of these old-fashioned female jazz singers…but also angry and loving women, women who embody all of these characteristics. The record is so condensed that we wondered what Annie would do on her own. Yet she convinced us that her bare songs could stand up just as well without all the tricks she used on the album. When we saw her walking around in the apartment, beating on glasses, humming in the street, trying to play with everything, it became obvious that the "excess" we saw in her album is not so much pretension as it is the urge to experiment and meddle with everything.
Or maybe not: maybe for an hour we just pretended, and she had us under her thumb.

Buried deep beneath piles of rubble and old text books, two CNC machines lie hidden and forgotten in the corner of an abandoned shop class. But now, with help from the local community, Analy High School in Sebastopol, Cali. is working to reclaim this forgotten space and convert the building back into a place for learning and experimenting.
Leading the way is Instructor Casey Shea, who's been working tirelessly on the Project: Make pilot program for the past year. Due to its success, Project: Make is moving to a bigger location where the program will have access to even more resources. A few weeks ago, Casey approached me with the idea of trying to get these old CNC machines back in working order. We met on Friday to dig around the mess and identify the make and model of each machine and see if we could stat them up. Without the original software we did not get very far. After doing some internet research, it seems that the company who manufactured these educational CNC machines went out a business a while back, and the original CAD/CAM software is a bit hard to use and a bit outdated.
The CNC router is a Phoenix-GS CAD/CAM model, and the lathe is the Phoenix-EZ wood lathe model. We are missing most of the instructions for both machines. So now, we are posing the question to you, MAKE readers. Does anyone here have any experience with these machines, or even better, own one? Have you updated the electronics or switched over to a different software? Ideally, we would like to configure the machines to be compatible with the Mach3 software and are willing to update the electronics if needed.
If you think you can help, please leave comments below. You can include links, images, wiring diagrams, anything that will help us get these machines running again. Thanks for reading.

I'm not new, but I remember being new. I was young & stupid (still am really ) & this was my first real message board. I was a bit intimidated by arguments & conversations I didn't understand, but LOASA was a very welcoming fun place where a lot of people my age were enjoying some 'friendly chatter'. I mostly posted there and lurked elsewhere, one of the reasons being people seemed to poke fun at LOASA. But times have changed, LOASA is a deserted wasteland, the 'glamberts' are the new target, the arguments seem fewer, though they still happen sometimes. Less than many other boards though, that's for sure. This board is good for its moderation. You won't find many trolls here, & the ones that pop up sometimes are entertaining in my opinion (royalhollywood, blue elephant guy).
Anyway, my advice for new people is to enjoy it for what it is. Don't let arguments intimidate or bother you. QOL is a fun place to discuss with other fans around the world, many of whom have a very impressive knowledge of Queen.

Special to the Daily World
Girls Incorporated® of Greater Atlanta (Girls Inc.) has launched a call for nominations for its 2012 Strong, Smart & Bold Awards. The awards recognize leading Atlanta-area women for their contribution in inspiring local girls to become self-sufficient, responsible and economically-empowered women. The nominees and winners will be recognized at a luncheon at the Westin Atlanta Perimeter North on Aug. 24, 2012.
Heather S. Rocker, CEO of Girls Inc., says the Girls Inc. Strong, Smart & Bold Awards are unique because they recognize Atlanta-area women of all ages who are an inspiration for local girls.
"At Girls Inc. we know inspiration isn't an age. It's an individual's ability to be a positive role model for young girls, whether it's a college-age woman tutoring young girls or a retired volunteer starting a grassroots campaign to eliminate illiteracy," said Rocker.
The co-chairs of the event, Judy Bowers of AutoTrader.com and Monica Moore of First Data, say their committee created a streamlined nominating process so it's easy for anyone to take a few minutes out of their busy schedule to nominate a deserving woman.
"We don't want to wait until a woman is at the pinnacle of her career to recognize her contribution. Any woman making a difference in our community can be nominated for a Strong, Smart & Bold Award, and we depend on members of the Atlanta-area community to nominate deserving women," said Bowers. "There's no better way to recognize a deserving, inspirational woman than to nominate her for a Strong, Smart & Bold Award."
The deadline for nominations for the 2012 Strong, Smart & Bold Awards is July 15, 2012; nomination forms are available at www.girlsincatl.org. More information about the nomination process, qualifications, available sponsorships and the Strong, Smart & Bold Awards luncheon is also available online at www.girlsincatl.org,

Remember that Professor Layton, Ace Attorney crossover news that happened a while ago? Well not only do we have screenshots for it, there is even a video! Sadly all the text is in Japanese, but Bolt2nd, the person who uploaded the video, was nice enough to translate, for those of us who don't understand Japanese.
I have no idea what the deal is or why they're having a witch trial (didn't those always end badly for the accused woman?) but Layton and Luke are teaming up with Phoenix and Maya so who cares. There is still no definite word on whether the game will make it here, but I don't see why not. Fingers crossed!

Helen Mirren a big fan of Thanksgiving feast
DAME HELEN MIRREN has become a big fan of America's Thanksgiving Day holiday - because she adores her husband's turkey dressing.
The Queen star admits she wasn't always a fan of the late November (12) break as it reminded her too much of Christmas back home - but now she lives in the U.S. with her moviemaker husband Taylor Hackford, she has adopted his favourite day of the year as one of her own.
She says, "I didn't really like Thanksgiving when I first came here because, for me, it kind of interfered with Christmas; it was like Christmas but without presents.
"And also you ate turkey, and for us in England, you had to wait 'til Christmas to eat your turkey."
Mirren reveals she's in charge of the gravy for the annual feast and she always looks forward to Hackford's traditional family treat.
She adds, "I'm in charge of the gravy and my husband makes this thing called dressing... It sits outside the turkey and it takes three days to make... One day of which is me going out shopping, looking for buttermilk... They've (supermarkets) always run out.
"It's his mother's mother's recipe and it's a tradition in our family... He makes cornbread first... you chop, like, a ton of celery and onions and he makes huge pans. It lasts to the next Thanksgiving."
