                <description><![CDATA[<br><br>
  <br>
 I just had to post this cartoon. Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if the the whole thing wasn't staged by Trump and Ailes, I mean everybody is talking about this today. Fox "News" is getting a lot of airtime on their rival networks, Trump, as usual, is dominating the days political talk, and Megan Kelly isn't being hurt by all the publicity.<br>
 Trump has nothing to gain by going to the debate, he has no serious agenda and he's leading in the polls. Why expose himself to looking bad if he's asked a serious question?   <br>
 Personally, I think Megan Kelly opened that First Fox debate in a bit of a harsh manner. She really laid it out, catching Trump off guard. I realize he really did say all those things about women, but for him to be on stage, thinking he's ready to do his first debate, only to hear the moderator, with the very first question, call him out on national television for calling women "fat pigs", seemed to rattle him a bit.  <br>
 This time around, Trump is aware that Fox and company is not exactly being supportive. It's obvious they see the damage he's doing to the Republican Party and as bad as they are with their starboard list, they don't want to list quite as far as Trump is taking the party, lest he sink the boat.<br>

                <title><![CDATA[About Autism - @jerry-verlinger]]></title>

                <description><![CDATA[      What Is Autism? What is Autism Spectrum Disorder?     Autism, Autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and Aspergers Syndrome are general terms for a group of complex disorders of brain development. These disorders are characterized, in varying degrees, by difficulties in social interaction, verbal and nonverbal communication and repetitive behaviors.    On March 27, 2015 NewsTalkers published an article  [ 1 ]  regarding a Johns Hopkins-led team of researchers that has identified a new genetic cause of the disease. The rare genetic variant offers important insights into the root causes of autism, the researchers say. And, they suggest, their unconventional method can be used to identify other genetic causes of autism and other complex genetic conditions. A daughter of NewsTalkers Resident Advisor, Perrie Halpern, was an intern at that lab and worked on that project.    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) indicate that approximately 1 in 68 American children are on the autism spectrum. More specifically, its estimated that 1 in 42 boys, and 1 in 189 girls are diagnosed with autism in the US.    This new estimate is roughly 30 percent higher than previous estimates reported in 2012 of 1 in 88 children.    Autism does not discriminate across cultures, ethnicities, or Social Economic Status.    There is no definitive explanation for the increase in rates of diagnosis, however improved awareness and environmental factors are often given a potential reasons.    General consensus is that there is no single cause of autism, and further, it is likely to actually be a number of different developmental brain disorders that produce similar presentations.    Autism Speaks notes that most cases of autism are thought to result from a combination of genetic predisposition and triggering environmental events that serve to influence early brain development.    Autism Speaks notes that new research published in 2012 suggests that autism costs $126 billion dollars a year in the US, a number that has tripled from estimates in 2006.    The CDC states that data from 2008 indicates individuals with an ASD had average medical expenditures that exceeded those without an ASD by $4,110$6,200 per year. On average, medical expenditures for individuals with an ASD were 4.16.2 times greater than for those without an ASD.    However, research has found that non-medical costs, for things like behavioral intervention, special education, and residential placements, account for the greatest proportion of expenses.    The costs of autism per year are nearly twice as high on average for children and adults with intellectual disability than for those without intellectual disability.    The Autism Society estimates that 60% of annual costs of autism are from the needs of adults on the spectrum, in particular for residential care across the adult lifespan.

                <description><![CDATA[ This is by far the coldest winter I have ever been through, and Ive been through 75 of them. Although I cant vouch for the first three or four because I dont remember too much about them. Actually I've only been through 74  of them. This one aint over yet, and the last 3-4 years have brought us some pretty nasty snow storms in March.  Now snow I can deal with, I live in the greater Lake George resort area about 100 miles below the Canadian border, and snow not only makes beautiful winter landscapes, it brings money for the local economy. The skiers come to the Whiteface and Gore mountain ski slopes plus theres miles and miles of groomed Xcountry trails We also have about 300 miles of groomed snowmobile trails that help draw people to the region.  All that brings business to the hotels, motels and restaurants which is a big part of the local economy. It also brings out the State, County and Town snow removal crews. They love it, hours and hours of plowing and sanding roads means hefty paychecks that beat unemployment checks any day.  However this year, although so far we have only had a foot or so of snow accumulate, its been so consistently cold none of it has melted, leaving the trails and slopes in good shape. The problem is its been  too  cold. Skiers and snowmobilers dont like it much when the temp gets below 5-6 degrees F. And thats has often been the days high lately.  Yeah, weve been in the teens and 20s every once in a while, as long as they are above zero temps its bearable, but when they are consistently below zero temps, it can be a little rough going. I have never seen so many consecutive below zero days  ever. Right now its minus 2, up from minus 7. Many nights it been in the minus 20s, one night going to minus 27 (had some pipes freeze that night)    The Up Side    The up side is I don't live in Oymyakon, Russia, where the average temp is minus 58 F.    That lovely place is generally considered to be the coldest inhabited area on Earth. Oymyakon is a two-day drive from Yakutsk, the regional capital which has the lowest winter temperatures of any city in the world. Their record was set in 1924, when it hit minus 96 degrees F.             Ice-encrusted bridge in Yakutsk.(Amos Chapple)     That's a color photo. How do those people deal with all that cold? They drink Russki Chai", (Russian tea) you and I call it Vodka.    Here's one for ya. The frozen ground in Oymyakon makes it so difficult to have working indoor plumbing most toilets are outhouses.(?!) I'm feeling warmer already.  ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[   I was checking something on You Tube and I spotted a link saying "9 Year blows away Judges and audience on 'Hollands Got Talent', so I clicked the link as I often do, because every once in a while we see something from a youngster that IS truly amazing.                 Well, ...... I can tell you without question, this little girl,Amira Willighagen, just 9 years old, reallydid  blow away the judges and audience by singing Puccini's  O mio babbino caro  (Oh My Beloved Father). I was stunned, as were the judges, and as I believe you will be as you watch this little angel sing with a voice that I'm sure you'll agree was sent to us from heaven. <br> <br>    For some reason I have been unable to embed videos, so you will have to use  [      this link     ] to go the the  video. The song starts at marker 2:42 (There is also a translation of the dialog available).   ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ In reposnse to some good advice posted by our fellow NewsTalker, Tacos y Margaritas , in a  article he posted about "Slowing down" and reading things twice before responding, I said;  There are many people that could read an article 6 times and they would not change their mind from the 1st impression they formed, not even for themselves .... because that is the way they're built. Once they form an opinion they will refuse to change that opinion regardless of what new perspective they use, or what new information they are presented with.   This is something I only suspected when I began to debate on social new sites, now after the 5 years I spent on Newsvine, posting 3,405 articles and seeds, and 15,375 comments, I am absolutely convinced that my suspicionshave been confirmed.   Liberal minds think broadly and liberally and usually arrive at an intelligent conclusion.  Conservative minds think more conservatively, and in a narrow manner, usually arriving at a more narrow, less intelligent conclusion.  See; Researchers Find a Liberal Gene and Political Views Hardwired....   I have been a registered Republican since 1957 and at one time was a campaign manager for a Conservative NY State Senator during 2 successful campaigns.  Then I grew up politically......   "....For having lived long, I have experienced many instances of being oblig'd by better Information or fuller consideration, to change Opinions even on important matters, which I once thought right but found to be otherwise. ...." [Benjamin Franklin]   ..... and I became a Left Winger.  It's not necessarily the article or comment that has to be read twice, it's the response you post that should be read twice, even three times, before you post it. Anticipating the response to your post is the best way to be most effective with your comments regardless of what side of the political fence you reside. ]]></description>
