With 10:28 remaining in the second quarter Sunday night, the newly-signed Jason Collins checked into his first NBA game since he came out as gay in April. The significance of the moment was unavoidable. Collins is the first openly gay man to appear in a game in the four major American sports leagues, and Sunday marked the end of an at times trying 10-month wait for him to find a roster spot after coming out.
As Collins walked to the scorer's table to check in as a Brooklyn Net — and an openly gay man — for the first time, the Staples Center crowd buzzed. When he walked onto the floor, he received a round of applause from the Los Angeles Lakers crowd and a standing welcome from some, particularly those in Nets colors, in the crowd:
It's easy to celebrate Collins, and his impact is hard to overstate. But new commissioner Adam Silver also felt an (understandable) tinge of regret about how long it took to open the doors of major American professional sports to the first openly gay athlete.
"I have mixed feelings, because I'm enormously proud that the first openly gay player is playing in the NBA," Silver told The New York Post before Sunday's game. "On the other hand, this is so long overdue that I don't think this should necessarily be on the list of the greatest accomplishments of the NBA. This is an area where no one in sports should be too proud. Sports has led society in so many critical areas … this is one where we fell behind."
That is, unfortunately, an unavoidable fact, and Silver's regret is understandable. But perhaps the biggest significance of Jason Collins' finding a team and getting on the court is that it will help legitimize the leadership efforts sports have started taking on LGBT issues.
In recent years, leagues have adopted non-discrimination policies and some of their athletes have pushed to change attitudes and atmospheres inside sports. The NFL last year announced a partnership with the You Can Play Project to help LGBT youth outside of sports. The NHL has worked with You Can Play to foster tolerance and acceptance in lower leagues. All of those efforts are significant, helpful, and necessary. But without an openly gay athlete in any of the four major leagues, they also rang a bit hollow. How could the NFL, NBA, NHL, and Major League Baseball preach tolerance and equality with little proof that they practiced it too? They needed an openly gay athlete to legitimize their efforts, to seize the leadership role sports have taken on so many societal issues before.
Now the NBA has one. Thanks to Michael Sam, the NFL may soon have one too. And Collins and Sam will further pave the road for more athletes to come out. That, as Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant said Sunday, will only thrust sports into the leadership position it should have claimed long ago.
"I think the most important part about it, what I've learned on the issue is that one person coming out is showing this type of courage that gives others that same type of courage," Bryant told Yahoo Sports. "It's dealing with a lot of issues for kids who are afraid to be themselves. Afraid to be themselves because of the peer pressure that comes with it. A lot of these kids have depression issues or they're being teased from other kids for being different. You wind up seeing a lot of suicides, kids injuring themselves and getting hooked on things that they should not be hooked on."
Bryant is a fine example of the type of change gay athletes can foster. In 2011, he was fined for using a gay slur on the bench. By 2013, when Collins came out, Bryant was calling out homophobic language on Twitter, and he was one of the first to publicly welcome Collins to the league. Now, on the day Collins shattered an NBA barrier, Bryant is well-versed enough in the issues LGBT people face to know that the significance of Collins' return to the league stretches far beyond the basketball court.
Sports might have lagged behind, but the fight for equality isn't over. While all four leagues now ban discrimination based on sexual orientation, it is still legal to fire employees because they are gay in 29 states (and in the federal government). While all four leagues are preaching equality, schools and youth sports remain among the most dangerous places for LGBT youth to be themselves. While it's easy to think of sports as the last bastion of homophobia, the reality is that states like Kansas and others are trying to enshrine even more discrimination into law.
Just as total equality remains an unrealized goal in sports, it is so in other parts of our society too. Jason Collins' appearance on an NBA court won't fix that. But Collins, along with Michael Sam and Robbie Rogers and prominent female athletes who have come out in recent years, gives the sports world a chance to take a legitimate role in leading the fight for equality across the board. It's understandable that Silver and other executives in sports want to lament the fact that their games have taken a backseat in this fight before. It's not too late to take up that leadership role now, though, and Collins' return has given the sports world a golden chance to start leading the fight for equality and acceptance the way it could have and should have years ago.

'Topes show support for youth cancer patient
Zak Lannon's motto reminds people they never know how strong they are
In Zak Lannon's eyes, you never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.
For the 17-year-old, those are words to live by and those are words that aid him in his bout with cancer. But sometimes it doesn't hurt to get a little help from your friends.
Tuesday, the Albuquerque Isotopes added onto the community support Lannon has received, donning T-shirts with Lannon's motto on them before recent game against Oklahoma City.
"It's such a wonderful cause. If we can help this young man and his family -- the players and our manager Lorenzo Bundy -- everyone has been so supportive," said Isotopes General Manager John Traub. "It was absolutely a slam dunk."
Lannon was scheduled to throw out the first pitch, but came down with a fever Monday night.
"He's going to keep fighting," said Traub.
The Isotopes purchased about 150 T-shirts, with the proceeds of which going toward Lannon's medical bills.

How to make your own DIY Large Montessori Number Cards
DIY Large Montessori Number cards were one of the Montessori Materials I decided I was going to save the money in and make myself especially once I found out you need more 2 sets of large number cards and 3 sets of small number cards. We purchased a sheet of 1/4″ Balsa Wood from the local hardware store, which is what we used for most of our diy montessori projects.
Jake cut the board in half so it was easier to work with, and then cut one of the halves into 2 1/2′ strips
The thousands were cut 8′ long (18 for 2 sets of number cards)
Hundreds 6′ long (18 for 2 sets of number cards)
Tens 4′ long (18 for 2 sets of number cards)
the units 2′ long (18 for 2 sets of number cards)
Here they are all stacked on each other
Me and the boys worked on sanding each of the cut number cards, making sure that each number card was all smoothed out which was a time consuming job, and I was glad I had helpers. I used stencils to trace each of the numbers onto the cards making Units 1-9 Green, tens 10-90 blue, hundreds 100-900 red, and thousands 1000-9000 green. Dustin used his wood burning kit and wood burned the hundreds cards.
After all the number cards were sanded and the numbers stenciled on, Serena spray painted a non toxic clear coat on them. We let them dry for a few days, making sure to leave them all seperated so they wouldn't stick together.
Here they are completed!
They get used regularly for math. I will be making a set of small number cards as well soon.
For now this is how they are stored on the shelf.

Republican Edward Lee Schrock (born April 6, 1941) served on the U.S. House of Representatives for the 2nd Congressional District of Virginia from January 2001 to January 2005. Schrock was preceded by Owen Pickett, and succeeded by Thelma Drake in this position.
The 2nd Congressional District includes Virginia's Eastern Shore, Virginia Beach, and parts of Norfolk and Hampton. The district tends to be conservative housing eight military installations and Pat Robertson's Christian Broadcasting Network.
Schrock was born in Middleton, Ohio. He attended Alderson-Broaddus College and the American University where he earned a Master's Degree in Public Relations. He served in the U.S. Navy from 1964 to 1988, including two tours of duty in Vietnam. Later he served as director of public affairs at the headquarters of the NATO Supreme Allied Commander in Norfolk, and retired from the Navy in 1988 with the rank of captain. After the Navy, Schrock worked as an investment broker six years with a national brokerage and investment firm. He then ran two successful campaigns for the Virginia Senate, where he represented the 7th senatorial district from 1995 to 2001. There he earned a reputation for his reliable conservative voting record. Schrock belongs to the Atlantic Shores Baptist Church, is married to Judith Adnee Crawford, and has one child, a son named Randy.
During his time in Congress Schrock served on the House Armed Services Committee, House Budget Committee, House Small Business Committee, and House Reforms Committee. In 2003 Schrock was chosen to serve as the Chairman of the Regulatory Reform and Oversight Committee of the House Committee on Small Business. He founded and co-chaired the House Navy / Marine Corps Caucus and the House Special Operations Forces Caucus. Schrock's political and voting record is aligned closely with the Republican Party. Schrock favors fewer restrictions on gun ownership, strong restrictions on abortion, and increased military spending. Other issues important to Schrock are defense issues related to shipbuilding and personnel. The Christian Coalition gave him a 92% rating in their 2003 voting guide and the National Journal rated him as the second most conservative person in all of Congress for the same year.
Among his other accomplishments and concerns, Schrock has also been a longtime advocate of public libraries. He was appointed by Virginia Governor George Allen to serve on the Library Board of Virginia. He served on the Library of Virginia Foundation Board; for ten years he served as President of the Friends of the Virginia Beach Public Library. He also served in a leadership role in Hampton Roads events such as Harborfest, the International Azalea Festival, and Tradefest. A cancer survivor, he served on the board of directors of Lee's Friends, a cancer victims support group. He served as a president of the Parent / Faculty Association at Cape Henry Collegiate School. From 1985 onward, Schrock has been involved with over 19 charitable and service organizations in Hampton Roads.
On August 30, 2004 Schrock dropped out of his race for a third term in Congress due to allegations that he had made use of a gay telephone service to meet other men and that he was secretly gay or at least bisexual. The website Blog Active, a gay political website that frequently "outs" closeted gay and allegedly gay politicians who support anti-gay legislation, even posted voice recordings that they said was Schrock using the gay phone service to solicit sex from other men. During his time in office, Schrock opposed various gay rights issues including same-sex marriage and gays in the military, and he co-sponsored the Federal Marriage Amendment.Author: Mel Frizzell

Russia must be made to pay for these war crimes. The international
community of truly advanced nations (both scientifically 'and' socially)
must make them pay. We are at a turning point in history. Putin must not be
allowed a future.
Shut up, nobhead shill.
+ukpropaganda Russia seems to think it is good at propaganda. Russia is
severely lacking in self-awareness.
A UN report blames the US and the EU for literally destroying Syria through
sanctions against its economy.
Ohhh my God… Assad and Putin are evil… for sure they enjoy seeing
people sufering and no doubt they have plan to dominate the world but wait
luckly we have america a democracy spreader and Saudi Arabia a democratic
and peacefuly country and of course we also have Israel a tolerant
country…soon enough the bad guys will lose this war and Syria will be
more democartic just like Vietnan Iraq Lybia Afghanistan etc…
I feel so bad for them. God bless them. Amen
Anyone who believes this PROPAGANDA deserves to die through their
biased propaganda bullshit
Clearly the USA is NOT doing the right thing by allowing Russia and Assad
to commit genocide on innocent victims!! Shame on us for allowing the
Election to give us an easy way out!

Years ago, when I played a lot of golf, I was a member of the WGA (Women's Golf Association) at the local Country Club. First, this was truly a kind of "country" club. Not one member was an elitist in any shape or form. Every member was just like me--a working person who could afford the low dues and who had time to play.
Since I was a member and had earned a fair handicap, I could play in the championship tournaments. Now, that didn't mean I played in the Championship Flight, but I could enter in the First Flight (There was a Second and a Third Flight, and I always worked very hard to stay above those.
So, the season's championship tournament began. The format was a two-person one-on-one...and there were six two-person groups. First round, half were eliminated. The second round, another half were eliminated. This continued over a period of days until only two players remained in each flight.
During the last round, I had survived and the First Flight trophy would go to one of us. The other player was a much larger woman than I. I am not tall or big, and I am not strong. I hit "short," but almost always in the middle of the fairway, and I worked on my short game all the time--chipping and putting--which is the key to winning or losing.
She and I played 18 holes and at the end, we were tied. She was not happy. I was ecstatic.
So we had to start over on #1 and this time, play Sudden Death.
First hole, we tied. She cursed a little.
Second hole, we tied. She cursed and threw a club.
Third hole--short Par 3, uphill.
My shot flew straight and true and landed just short of the green. She hit and landed in the water on the left. She dropped another ball, hit her Penalty shot, and landed on the green.
I lay ONE, she lay THREE. She became very, very angry, stomped around, threw things, cursed at the sky, and I stood to the side, thinking...I have beaten her. I chipped close and one-putted for a three, she two-putted for a five.
I win!
Why? She lost her temper. Yes, her anger and temper defeated her. She was a better player and hitter, but I took the trophy. She remained angry at me for, oh, about eight more years.
Righteous or moral anger against a humanitarian crime or sin is okay. We should be angry when the weak and defenseless are crushed.
But allowing our anger to overcome us for personal desires, something we work for and don't obtain, won't get us anywhere.
The best plan--stay cool and calm. Think through the problem. Can you fix it? Or is the problem out of your hands?
During the last few months, I have been frustrated that sometimes a release just doesn't sell.
Any attempt to find a reason fails, and the frustration builds. I know there's something more I could do, but for the life of me, I can't find a way.
After a few weeks, I decided the problem is not worth agonizing over, and just let it go.
We do the best we can, and if it doesn't work...don't get mad. It won't help one bit.
My advice is to study the problem, devise a new plan, and go in a different direction.
Or forget it and move on.
But whatever you do...don't get mad. You'll lose every time.

Local adventurers walk through tough times in Patagonia
As the new year approaches, we revisit Leadville adventurers Gregg Treinish and Deia Schlosberg as they continue their epic trek from the top to the bottom of South America.Treinish and Schlosberg, both of whom hail from Ohio, set out from Quito, Ecuador some 18 months ago, bound for the southern-most tip of Tierra Del Fuego. The couple took September off to rest and spend time with family and friends, then returned to Santiago, Chile, in October to continue their journey.Patagonia has brought its fair share of hardships to the inspiring hikers, but in typical fashion, they have found a way to overcome adversity day in and day out. They've also found a way to appreciate the beautiful, finer points of life they encounter on a regular basis. The Summit Daily News has been tracking the journey since it began. In line with our tradition of including excerpts from Treinish and Schlosberg's blogs, here is the latest from http://www.acrosstheandes.com.
Gregg Treinish – Dec. 17 I think back to what was now over a month and a half ago since we last wrote and it is impossible to appreciate how much things have changed since then. We had been looking forward to Patagonia so long that nothing else seemed to matter. The time has come and to say it was different from what we expected would be the understatement of the century. The challenges that we faced this last section would put any in the north to shame (at least while they are out of sight and out of mind). To accurately depict the roller-coaster of emotions that we have gone through during this past section would be nearly impossible. Never before in my life have I been in tears so often feeling so utterly defeated, wanting to quit so badly. I walk a mile admiring the scenery, still amazed that I can be this shocked after 18 months at how dramatic the land really is. Thoughts of how outrageous it is that we have walked from the equator and have actually reached Patagonia fill my head – I am proud. But that mile passes and I start to worry a bit about the fact that the trail we have been following is now starting to get just a bit harder, a little muddier, a little steeper. I am fully aware of what happened the last time our trail began to deteriorate and I wonder if we should turn around. …Sometime during the end of our journey into Huaraz (Peru), we got this crazy idea that Patagonia was going to be easy – smooth sailing with clear trails. We expected weather, we expected cold, but we did not foresee the challenges that we have actually had. In the last three weeks, we have averaged little more than four miles per day. We have fallen desperately behind schedule and have grown worried about arriving in Tierra del Fuego before winter does. Strangely, despite the incredible difficulty we have encountered in Patagonia, I am not too bad off. We are still on the path, we are still keeping our eyes on the prize which now only lies 1/6 of the trip's total distance away. … We have found food in our new surroundings, the trees drop nuts, the streams give us alco (a cucumber-like plant), the rivers and lakes give us fish. Daily we are amazed – Patagonia has not been disappointing.
So, I sit here in San Martin De Los Andes without a clue of where or what we will encounter next, and am not upset, not dreading going back out there. I know that we will find a way, I know that we will do what we need to do like we always have. I have told a few people about out struggles of late and the response is usually, "That is what it's all about, right?" We have a lot to look forward to in this next month. David, my little brother (who has never been backpacking before) will be joining us for most of it and the chance to spend time with him down here is something that I have been looking forward to for an incredibly long time. As we inch further south, we are hopeful that the bamboo will continue to rise after a long winter of being pressed to the ground, making the hiking infinitely easier. Also the Browns will be in the playoffs! Struggle, beautiful struggleDeia Schlosberg – Dec. 17We're dirty. Covered in dirt from dragging ourselves through forest and crawling on hands and knees under fallen logs, through mud and dead leaves. Sliding down lichen-covered logs in the rain and getting black very-organic soil under my nails as I stop myself from sliding too far. I have sand, ash and cinder in my hair. I want to be clean, to see the brown water get washed down the drain and turn gradually to clear, to see soap suds and feel that my skin is my skin and not a film insulating my body from the sun and the breeze.
We stop in a hostel, ask to use the shower there (the communal shower), ask if we can pay a little for the use of their water to finally feel clean again. But the young girl working the hostel doesn't have the authority to let us bathe. She makes a phone call, speaks a quick explanation into the receiver, then holds it against her chest and looks to us. "Where are you from?" she asks. "The U.S.," we answer following a brief hesitation."The U.S.," the girl says into the receiver. We are in a tourist town and this reminds us – people are not people here, they are an embodiment of every person from their country that has stepped foot here before them and nothing can change that. The girl finishes up her brief phone conversation and hangs up.
"Ten dollars," she says. That's more than we pay to stay at a hostel. We leave, dirty. Next time we will be from Bolivia. …I love what we're doing down here. I'm proud of it, and it's certainly an education no grad degree could provide. I meet amazing people and have an understanding of the earth that would otherwise be impossible to attain. There is pretty much nothing I would trade for this experience. That said, I never want to be away from family for this long again. Perhaps that is as big a lesson as any of the others. My thoughts are with my family now, especially.

Tiamo Lodge, Bahamas
Nov 19th, 2010
Dear Brian,
Tiamo is truly a remarkable and beautiful place. It is very evident
that a lot of planning went into the refurbishment and decor. (It is
under new ownership and they have done amazing things!)
The cottages are lovely…restful retreats (for those who retreat). We
loved being able to go to sleep at night with the doors wide open, the
curtains billowing, the waves quietly lapping and the palms clicking.
In the morning there was no need for an alarm…the birds woke us.
I enjoyed ALL the activities…swimming, sailing, snorkeling, a nature
walk and swimming in the blue hole, learning to fish, going fun-
fishing…everything. Bob fished, sailed and relaxed.
The staff is exceptional..friendly, solicitous, anticipating and
kindly providing for any needs at meals or at any time…
Food…what can we say? They have the most amazing chef ever!
We cannot truly think of any time when we have had a weeklong feast on
the level, taste and presentation that he and his assistants provided.
Our fishing guide, Darrin, was a pleasure to be with. Such patience to
deal with two such probably exasperatingly novice bonefishers. (I a
novice flyfisher person altogether!) We were so grateful for his
expertise and kindness. Bonefishing is challenging but so exciting.
The guides there really know where to take their clients…according
to ability, weather, sun/clouds, wind, etc.
It was enjoyable to meet people from different places and have
opportunities to share some activities. The number of guests is
limited to 20 I think. There were 13 of us there at the time. There
was plenty of time to be private too. Wonderful chaise lounges on the
We would go back in a heartbeat… Bob and I had an absolutely
marvelous time.
Thank you for helping us to arrange this trip, Brian!
Cris and Bob (Polk)

"Craigslist rapist" sentenced to 36 years in prison
WOODSTOCK, Ill. - A McHenry County judge on Thursday sentenced a northern Illinois man to 36 years in prison for raping a woman he met via Craigslist.
Charles Oliver, 46, of Woodstock, Ill., was accused of raping as many as eight women. In February he was convicted of sexually assaulting one woman. He later pleaded guilty to two additional sex charges, and in exchange the remaining charges against him were dropped.
McHenry County Judge Sharon Prather called Oliver a predator who abused vulnerable women, when she handed down the sentence, The Northwest Herald reported.
Oliver was accused of raping women who responded to his online ads for sex for several months beginning in late 2011. May of his victims were allegedly prostitutes.
Oliver's attorney, Jeff Altman, said his client plans an appeal. During trial, defense attorneys argued sex between Oliver and the woman was consensual.
Oliver has been held in McHenry County Jail in lieu of $4 million bond since his arrest last year. He will be 74-years-old when he is eligible for parole.

Snow on its way as region is braced for arrival of 'Beast from the East'
PUBLISHED: 20:25 24 February 2018 | UPDATED: 07:00 25 February 2018
A 57-hour weather warning for snow in Suffolk and Norfolk has said that some rural communities could be cut off.
The Met Office has issued the warning from 2pm on Monday, February 26 to midnight on Wednesday, February 28.
It warns that snow showers are expected to become more persistent through Monday afternoon and evening, with potential for travel delays, "stranding of some vehicles and passengers" and delays and cancellations of rail and air travel.
"Some rural communities could become cut off," the warning states. "Power cuts may also occur and other services, such as mobile phones, may be affected."
Snow showers "or longer periods of snow" are expected on Tuesday, while heavy snow showers are expected on Wednesday.
Freezing air from Russia is to grip the UK in what is set to be the coldest late February in five years. The cold blast - dubbed the beast from the east - will see temperatures plunge below zero from Sunday night.
A forecaster joked that spring had been "postponed" due to the chill arriving from the east just before March 1 - the first day of the meteorological spring.
This weekend, wind coming in from the continent and in particular Russia, temperatures will continue to dip to as low as 2C or 3C during the day.
Some areas will start to see snow on Sunday night but it's uncertain whether these showers will make it as far south as our region.
Met Office meteorologist Martin Bowles said that the low temperatures – around -5C for London – expected over the next few days were unusual.
Mr Bowles said: "Somewhere like the Scottish mountains might go lower than that, but that's actually quite normal in the Scottish mountains, whereas it's definitely not normal to have minus 5C in London at the end of February.
"We haven't had temperatures that low in late February since 2013. It's not unheard of. There are records that are lower than that."
He added: "But it is quite unusual, particularly as it's quite late in the season.
"We refer to March 1 as being the first day of spring and of course March 1 will be right in the middle of this cold spell, so spring will be postponed for a couple of weeks, shall we say."

As the label implies, marginal comments are those that are written in the margins and between the lines throughout the paper. Their primary purpose is to point out specific examples of effective and ineffective writing decisions emphasized in general by our overall evaluation. For this reason, it's a good idea to insert marginal comments after we've composed the end comments described in the following sections. Rather than marking up a paper on the first read, we can better formulate focused comments by reading it at least once with our pens laid aside.
Marginal comments might also mark errors in grammar, spelling, and punctuation. When this becomes their primary use, however, students will be confused about where to direct their energy toward growth as writers. For further discussion of addressing mechanical issues, see the section on avoiding the editor role.

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a neurological disorder that affects a person's movements, muscle tone, and coordination. These effects can differ from one child with cerebral palsy to the next, and it's generally due to the type and extent of the disorder each person has. There are four main types of cerebral palsy reflecting abnormalities in different parts of the brain, and resulting in various kinds of symptoms.
The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Strokes (NIH) states that spastic cerebral palsy is the most common form of the disorder, affecting around 80% of all diagnosed cases of cerebral palsy. Spastic cerebral palsy causes children to have exaggerated reflexes (spasticity) and stiff, sometimes painful muscles. The majority of children will experience some degree of difficulty walking, depending on the type and extent of spasticity they have.
Spastic cerebral palsy is broken down into three different subtypes, which include:
- Spastic diplegia – involves muscle stiffness, generally in the leg area but the arms may be mildly affected too and can cause difficulty walking
- Spastic hemiplegia – when primarily one side of the body is involved, with movement difficulties primarily in the arm on the affected side
- Spastic quadriplegia – characterized by motor dysfunction all over the body, is the most severe type of spastic cerebral palsy, and usually comes with other associated disorders
Spastic Diplegia
Children with diplegic cerebral palsy, also known as spastic diplegia, may display a number of different symptoms and traits, with the most common including:
- Hip and leg muscles are very tight causing the legs to cross at the knees and to pull inward, creating a "scissoring" effect
- Walking on toes
- Difficulty walking or inability to walk unassisted
- Abnormal development of motor skills
- Coordination and balance issues
Diplegic cerebral palsy is usually detected during infancy when the baby fails to meet physical developmental milestones. One of the major signs physicians look for when diagnosing this form of cerebral palsy is an infant/toddler who uses their arms to crawl, without using their legs. Some may not attempt to crawl at all.
Spastic Hemiplegia
In the type of cerebral palsy known as spastic hemiplegia, one side of the body is affected, usually the arm more than the leg. The child can often adapt, and most are eventually able to walk.
Spastic Quadriplegia
Spastic quadriplegia is the most severe type of spastic cerebral palsy. Also known as spastic quad CP, it's marked by the inability to control and coordinate muscles of the legs and arms. Children with spastic quad have a heightened risk of developing spinal deformities, language and feeding disorders, seizures, muscle contractions, and cognitive issues.
Dyskinetic Cerebral Palsy
Dyskinetic cerebral palsy is the second most common type of cerebral palsy after spastic forms. It is marked by abnormal movements in the arms, hands, and legs, making it difficult to control body movements and coordination. Children with this form of cerebral palsy can exhibit slow, writhing-type movements or quick, jerking movements. In turn, walking and sitting down can be difficult. Muscle tone can be variable and change from tight to loose from day to day. Many have troubles with controlling their face and tongue movements, resulting in difficulties with speech.
There are several types of movement disorders seen in dyskinetic cerebral palsy:
- Dystonia – where movements are twisting and repetitive, this can be present in one part of the body or the entire body and the movements are unplanned and involuntary, usually stimulated by initiating a voluntary movement
- Athetosis– characterized by slow, writhing movements with extreme fluctuations causing difficulty maintaining a posture
- Chorea – which are abrupt, fidgety unpredictable movements that make the child appear uncoordinated and clumsy
These movement disorders can exist together in different combinations, presenting issues with fine motor skills, including grasping small objects, as well as gross motor dysfunction, such as walking.
Ataxic Cerebral Palsy
Children with Ataxic Cerebral Palsy exhibit uncoordinated, jerky movements. This is the least common type of CP. The movements are initiated by a voluntary effort, which then becomes interrupted and uncontrolled, causing a lack of balance or coordination. There can be difficulties in walking and writing due to instability, effects on speech and swallowing, as well as eye movements.
Mixed Cerebral Palsy
Sometimes, children develop a mix of the aforementioned types of CP. A combination of dyskinetic and spastic cerebral palsy is the most common, but children can develop a mix of any type of CP. Symptoms will depend on which types of cerebral palsy the child has. Mixed cerebral palsy can also result in additional associated medical problems and disorders.
Common symptoms and medical problems experienced by children with mixed cerebral palsy include
- Stiff muscles with involuntary movements
- A combination of spastic and floppy movements
- Seizures
- Cognitive issues
- Issues with speaking and swallowing
- Hearing problems
- Drooling and facial grimaces
- Vision problems, including "lazy eye" and /or cortical blindness
How are Cerebral Palsy Types Diagnosed?
Physicians are able to diagnose the type of cerebral palsy a patient has by reviewing the history, doing a physical examination and sometimes imaging or other tests.
The Gross Motor Classification System is used as a measure of severity, and one of the ways symptoms can be characterized. It consists of an in-depth checklist of the child's physical abilities and weaknesses.

Kid Blue Reviews
Top Critic

Kid Blue has a meandering jug band sensibility and a premise hilariously relevant to Hopper's situation.

Kid Blue is a well-meaning, liberal, anti-fascist Western, dressed up with some good performances by Peter Boyle, Lee Purcell and Janice Rule. But it's not a very good movie.

The Cornish Marathon is Cornwall's only all road marathon. It began in 1984 and originally started out from Saltash following the A38 and A390 to Lostwithiel. It started out as a wager between
two organisers John Foster and Stephen Henderson that one could run faster than the other. Despite being run for charity, only 27 runners took the plunge, the winner managing 2.29 minutes and
15 secs, something to make all race winners this millenium envious. 78 runners turned out the next year and in 1987 it was handed over to East Cornwall Harriers.
Relocating to Rilla Mill in 1994, taking in much of the present route, it presented competitors with 3 miles of steady climbing from the gun. Finally changing to Pensilva, it starts from Millenium House, a much gentler introduction to the scenic circular out and back route which takes runners along the Draynes Valley, through the 'Poldark' country of Bodmin Moor, past King Arthur's legendary Dozmary Pool, Du Maurier's Jamaica Inn at Bolventor and back along the Fowey Valley, taking in a climb to Foredown between miles 24 and 25, which most runners will remember for a long time, and not just for the fabulous views !
It is with great regret that we inform you there will be no Cornish Marathon in 2020. The ongoing uncertainty about the global pandemic means it is not possible to start organising a race months in advance, given the current status of the virus in the community. Rest assured we will be looking to pick it up in 2021.

Sandwiched between her previous album in 2010 and this latest release, Heather Lynne Horton was musically busy creating a wave as one-half of The Westies with husband Michael McDermott. Hot on the heels of Michael branching out with a solo record, Heather has also chosen this route with the highly emotive DON'T MESS WITH MRS. MURPHY. On the back of its US bow earlier in the summer, the record will get a resurgent boost in the UK via the good folks at At The Helm Records. The bottom line is that the album is an absolute absorbing listen, presenting an aural delight from its atmospheric opening to a moving finale.
Like so many successful records, the sound blends numerous sources to a superlative extent. Americana fans with an alternative edge are amongst the audience likely to tap into the vast reservoir of an album packed with top notch writing to provide the literary element. However, no serious music fan is precluded, whether they are prone to tearing away the layers of a record or are able to free themselves to let the music lead the way.
Themes and motives are aplenty with this album. Taking a few moments to read Heather's thoughts on the record or burying yourself in the lyrics, will fast track the complete experience, but not critical to appreciate the sum of the overall effect. This surmounts to an evocative piece of art, often mystique, frequently dark and forever enchanting.
When you factor in a surprise cover as the eleventh track, the album weighs in at just short of the hour, but this extended feature never strays into filler territory. In fact, many listens to this album have lent towards tracks 3, 5, 8 and 10 being personal favourites, all aided by letting the record flow as opposed to cherry picking. The latter of these choices 'I Wanna Die in My Sleep' cracks the heart with each play. It rolls out as a majestic 7-minute narrative piece perfectly melding the spoken and sung word, all in a beautiful nostalgic haze. Think Shangri Las meets the 'Trio' as your starting point.
Earlier in the record, the album really cranks up the gears with the third track 'Did You Feel That', a classy piece of ethereal choral delight ripe for radio play. This follows a couple of tracks that begin to form the record's presence right from the off. Enchanting mesmeric opener 'Murphy's Law' puts a capital 'A' in alternative, while 'Wheelchair Man' is a tenderer offering presenting an inspirational view from a different perspective.
The two other standout candidates previously indicated include 'Boomerang'- a mid-album track that goes a long way to capturing the wealth of Heather's distinct vocal style – and 'Coffee Cup', which evolves into one of the record's most serene melodic moments. The latter is another in the 6-minute plus category, thus cementing a thought of this being an unhurried release.
It's a testimony to the strength of the album's upper echelons that tracks like 'Pauper Sky' and 'Flesh and Blood' still linger in the shadows as time approached to gather some thoughts to share. The somewhat potentially controversial 'FU' does make a lyrical case to push the stronger tracks, while the warm velvet protective sentiments of 'Save the Rain' provides a reassuring moment as the album wheels into full flow.
The bonus track sees Heather team up with Michael for a cover of 'You're the One That I Want'. The perfect example of how to enhance a song by pouring everything into the verses, while tempering the chorus. A fitting way to end a superb album.
Essentially DON'T MESS WITH MRS MURPHY is album to be savoured alone. Its primed for a period of solitary solace and ensures the listener succumbs to a fascinating world. Heather Lynne Horton is the architect of an album that raises the standard of this year's releases.

To most people, me included, "Summer Squash" usually refers to two vegetables: yellow (summer) squash and zucchini. I've always wondered why zucchini got awarded a sexy name, while yellow squash just got…well, yellow squash. Which leads to my next question "What exactly IS summer squash?" According to Google, "Summer squash is a squash that is eaten before the seeds and rind have hardened. Unlike winter squash, summer squash does not keep well."
Ok, so it's maybe not the most scientific explanation, but it not only answers my question, it also makes summer squash the perfect centerpiece for my Recipe Redux challenge this month, which is:
Fantastic Freezer Meals: Share your tips and tricks for making one – or more freezer meals. It's the end of the gardening season for some of us; let's store away that produce in heat-and-eat-from-the-freezer-meals. Show how convenient healthy freezer breakfast, lunches or dinners can be!
It is definitely the end of the gardening season for my parents whose summer squash bounty is pictured above. Contemplating how to enjoy all that squash (since we know that it doesn't keep well) my mom and I embarked upon a "Summer Squash Boat" voyage of sorts. The main difference in our preparations is that my mom made a meatloaf type mixture (consisting of lean ground beef, onions and spices), then stuffed the raw mixture in the hollowed out squash and froze them. I first sauteed the onions, garlic and turkey sausage, then stuffed the cooked mixture into the squash and froze them. Either way, when you pull the boats out of the freezer a few weeks or even a few months from now, you're less than an hour away from a delicious, nutritious (dare I say effortless?) meal full of what you thought you were going to have to throw away when it "went bad."
Trim the ends of the squash and scoop out seeds and flesh with a spoon.
Purchase bulk turkey sausage or simply remove the casings and sautee in onion and garlic until crumbled and cooked through.
Stuff the hollowed out squash with the turkey sausage mixture, sprinkle with shredded cheese and freeze.
Be sure that you freeze the boats in an airtight container to avoid freezer burn. Lay the squash halves flat in plastic wrap or wax paper, cover the top and seal. Slide the package into a Ziplock bag, squeeze out the excess air before sealing, then freeze.
You may have seen squash boat recipes that call for cooking or steaming the squash prior to filling them. You can omit this step when freezing them first because during the post-freezing and thawing process, everything is being reheated which gives the squash ample time to cook and soften.
Throw these in the oven, whip up a green salad and dinner is done. Unfortunately, you can't bottle summer, but you can freeze some of its greatness to enjoy later!

The Critics of 9/11 Truth: Do They Have A Case?
by Paul Craig Roberts
*** begin quote ***
Both sides of the issue have conspiracy theories. 9/11 was a conspiracy whether a person believes that it was an inside job or that a handful of Arabs outwitted the entire intelligence apparatus of the Western world and the operational response of NORAD and the US Air Force.
*** and ***
It is not a conspiracy theory to examine the evidence and to state that the evidence does not support the explanation that has been given.
*** end quote ***
"If it doesn't fit, you must acquit." —Johnny Cochran
A true tin foil hat doesn't need to prove conspiracy. All one really needs to do is to present evidence. Facts are hard things to argue with. Opinions are like <synonym for donkey> holes, everyone has one.
No, the evidence just is what it is.
Speculation, SWAGs, and theories are all unnecessary and irrelevant to the discussion.
So, I'll only ask one question so as not to confuse anyone.
*** begin quote ***
If there were pictures or videos of an airliner hitting the Pentagon, they would have been released years ago. They would have been supplied to the 9/11 Commission. Why would the government refuse for 10 years to release pictures that prove its case? The FBI confiscated all film from all surveillance cameras. No one has seen them, much less a Pentagon critic such as Spinney.
*** end quote ***
Where are the videos from the airplane into the Pentagon?
Simple question. Deserves a simple answer.

A turbulent mashup mix of my video game soundtrack work for Pit People and BattleBlock Theater, featuring a few new and unreleased tracks as well. For the live performance at PAX East Boston, it was needed to give all the different moods and worlds, featured in the game a concert / party touch. While doing that, things got pretty complex and lots of previously unthinkable, astonishing combinations happened. It took me a while to finally record this first Mashup Mix and even trying to consider all material I made for the games, it was quite impossible to have all tracks included. Still, I hope you appreciate the party flow and let me know if you want to hear more of these things in the future.
In any case, I would be happy to play you another game music concert like the one at Pax East / Boston and it still makes me happy to think back to the dedicated fans, doing crazy dance contest moves to my show!
See you guys and thanks for all the support!

My Patric Catani for Pit People Soundtrack contribution for The Behemoth surely was the most extensive and complete video game collaboration I did so far. For almost a year, I played around and gathered musical influences that would underline their countless crazy characters fighting in a world that struggles with time and space confusion, caused by the green blood rain of a giant teddy bear.
Needless to mention that the given scenario offered me a huge playground, experimenting freely with combining all possible and impossible genre crossovers. It happened that banjos meet kossack choirs and italo disco grooves fusioned with baroque english horns, western elements mashing up with electronic monster funk and rockabilly pirate chants collide with trap music beats, fairy voices and scatting swing choirs sing along with hardcore techno hoovers.
Hundreds of thousands of plays and excited comments from Pit People fans around the globe showed that I was on the right track to underline the spirit of the game.
When I had an opportunity to play my game soundtracks at PaxEast Boston in 2018 and several other game music related occasions, the question for me was if I shall "only" play the original songs, or if it might make sense to stir things up once more to make the concert material more stringent and have danceable versions that could rock bigger dancefloors. I decided for option 2 and it was a truly exciting journey to explore the reign of madness again, mashing up the Pit People and BattleBlock Theater material into one big concert.
Whilst on this release you obviously find the results of all the Pit People rework, I will also put out my BattleBlock Theater remix release and a live recording of the whole concert in the near future.
Thank you all very much for your support!

Mickartz O Appetizers Chilled Prawn Cocktail Seared Ahi Tuna n a chilly January night, we took our new Gilroy friends, Nita and Danny Mitchell, to Ladera Grill in Morgan Hill. The evening started off well with the Valet Parking at Ladera…a welcomed service in the busy downtown. Inside it was a typical busy Friday night with a packed bar and full res- taurant. We were ushered into a well- situated corner booth. Our waitress, Natalie, soon welcomed us and took drink orders. Gin and Tonic for Nita, a Cosmo for J.Chris, a tall Rum and Coke for Danny, and a Pinot Noir for me. Readers who are not familiar with Ladera Grill should try it out. It has a good feel, an excellent selection of food, a full bar and an extensive wine selection. If you think the wild life photos around the room seem out of place, look carefully at the lower right- hand corner. You will see the signature of Dan McCranie, a wildlife photographer and owner of Ladera Grill! Ladera also has some great outdoor dining space Entrees Teriyaki Tri-Tip Steak along Monterey and down the south- side, but a January evening was not the time. Before long we put in orders for some appetizers. We selected: Seared Ahi Tuna (Sashimi #1 grade ahi tuna, sesame crust, teriyaki glaze, oriental slaw, jasmine rice) and a Chilled Prawn Cocktail (Fresh Lemon, Cocktail Sauce), and—at the suggestion of our waitress, Natalie— the Stuffed Portabella Mushroom (Goat cheese, baby spinach, grilled apricots, pinenuts, heart of romaine, olive oil, parmesan dressing.) The tuna got rave reviews. It was fresh, well prepared and "perfectly presented." The Prawn Cocktail had four large plump prawns. The Stuffed Portabella was a little different than the description but proved to be "the surprise of the evening." It consisted of dressed romaine, a large stuffed portabella and a glass of seasoned cherry tomatoes. We placed the mushroom on the dressed romaine and topped it with the seasoned tomatoes. It was an absolute taste delight…"a great blend of flavors." Lobster Tail & Wagyu Rib Eye Stuffed Portabella Mushroom 92 GILROY • MORGAN HILL • SAN MARTIN FEBRUARY/MARCH 2018 gmhtoday.com

My take on the inflamed tribal rhetorics:
Fellow compatriots, let me add my voice to the current debate on social media on the inflamed tribal rhetoric taking a center stage of the current political narrative in our beloved country as we prepare for the run-off election. This is perpetrated by few selfishly motivated politicians and bigots who wish to misuse the intelligence of the general masses using tribe and regional sentiment as a tool in pursuing their political agenda. This has far reaching ramifications.
Narrow-mindedness & bigotry begins when one is swayed that their tribe, race, religion (or version of their religion), sex, ideology and creed is unsurpassed, supreme and the only truth. In the Sierra Leonean context, record suggests that tribalism has never succeeded and will never succeed in our socio-cultural settings. Our inter-marriages cuts across tribe and regions; our secular nature due to inter-religious tolerance/marriages presents Sierra Leone as a unique society. Reflecting on life at Universities/colleges, students socialize and join clubs and fraternities not on the basis of ones tribe or region. It is at university most people make life long relations with peers who are not members of their tribes but with people one shares similar ideology or social inclinations with. It therefore stands to reason that the issue of tribalism is only fanned by selfishly motivated politicians and bigots for their own selfish reasons and therefore has no basis in our society. As patriots, we should be prepared to name and shame such architects.
Let me further appeal to the rational minds of fellow compatriots that the world is watching. We should do everything possible to maintain the peace and not undermine our fragile democracy. Sierra Leone has enjoyed international goodwill following 11 years of civil war; Ebola epidemic; Mudslides epidemic to name but a few. The world cannot continue to support us for all the wrong reasons in a global community where there are competing demands amidst limited resources. Let it be borne in mind that there are other deserving countries that deserve global attention. Sierra Leone cannot relegate itself to ethnic / tribal crises. I entreat fellow compatriots to name and shame those media houses and individuals fanning this.
Salifu Kamara
Be careful fellow Sierra Leoneans. The war began by the firing of a small riffle but later grew to a full fledged war that killed thousands.
The Ebola began with a single member of our society infected. Few weeks later, every family buried dozens of their loved ones.
If those lessons are not painful enough to help us avoid all forms of conflict and disorder as a nation, then we should brace up for another human tsunami.

Taking a short break from their trip to *definitely not a terrorist training camp*, Ti Skypes in from the occupied territories of Leon, specifically to bully Emmy for being and woke ginger IDpol person. Kendra guest hosts on Justine's behalf too.
In Concerned Comrades, we talk about why building the power of the base is the only way to change the world (not stupid and horrible alt-right style nonsense). We also re-establish that Emmy is gross.
Because the Labour Party is not your friend, we have sat down with the Labour Party's greatest enemy: Auckland Action Against Poverty. Returning friend of the pod, Ricardo, discusses the govt's response to breadlines outside Work and Income offices. But actually, that segment was snitch the sitch.
In the Labour Party is not your friend, Emmy, Kendra and Ti, dissect this further. We also talk about the 1 billion trees policy and why pine trees are awful at sucking carbon but native trees are excellent suckers. We also add a new sub-segment: "Deselect Julie Anne Genter".
Finally, we read an article from one of Julie Anne's friends in the business community about climate change. It's definitely not terrible and stupid.
