A view of the Arizona Capitol Museum in Phoenix. In the foreground stands a replica of the Liberty Bell, donated in 1950. Designed by J. Riely Gordon and constructed between 1898 and 1901, the building served as the territorial capitol until Arizona was granted statehood in 1912. The building continued to serve as the state capitol, but the building eventually proved to be too small and cramped for the growing state. Eventually, all official government functions moved out of the building: the Legislature to adjoining buildings in 1960 and the Executive Branch to an adjoining tower in 1974.

Grand Canyon, Arizona: Weather in the Grand Canyon varies according to elevation. The forested rims are high enough to receive winter snowfall, but along the Colorado River in the Inner Gorge, temperatures are similar to those found in Tucson and other low elevation desert locations in Arizona. Temperatures vary wildly throughout the year, with summer highs within the Inner Gorge commonly exceeding 100 °F (37.8 °C) and winter minimum temperatures sometimes falling below zero degrees Fahrenheit (-17.8 °C) along the canyon’s rims.Average annual precipitation on the South Rim is less than 16 inches, with 60 inches of snow, the higher North Rim usually receives 27 inches of moisture, with a typical snowfall of 144 inches and the weather is different on the north rim and south rim.

Arizona Rattlesnake: This western diamondback rattlesnake has fabulous skin that makes it perfect for blending in with the features of the hot desert. It’s very common in the southwest. It bites hundreds of people a year, more than any other venomous snake in the United States. Death from its bite is rare but you should be treated as soon as possible to avoid serious illness or worse. Rattlesnakes hunt from late evening to early morning, crawling either sinuously like other snakes or rectilinearly like a caterpillar. If you seen them on a hiking trail, keep away and keep your children and pets away too. Like other rattlers, the Western Diamondback takes up residence among communities of small mammals such as prairie dogs, rabbits, gophers, chipmunks, ground squirrels, mice and rats. The more the better. It usually hunts at night. It ambushes victims along their trails or attacks them in their burrows, sometimes striking and swallowing an animal which weighs more than the snake itself.

Roadrunner – New Mexico State Bird(found in Arizona):

Some Roadrunner facts for you:

* Roadrunners are quick enough to catch and eat rattlesnakes.

*Roadrunners’ extreme quickness allows it to snatch a humming bird or dragonfly from midair.

* Roadrunners prefer walking or running and attain speeds up to 17 mph.

* The Roadrunner reabsorbs water from its faeces before excretion.

The roadrunner is one of the few animals that preys upon rattlesnakes. Using its wings like a matador’s cape, it snaps up a coiled rattlesnake by the tail, cracks it like a whip and repeatedly slams its head against the ground till dead.

Meteor Crater is a meteorite impact crater located approximately 43 miles (69 km) east of Flagstaff, near Winslow in the northern Arizona desert of the United States.One of the interesting features of the crater is its squared-off outline, believed to be caused by pre-existing regional jointing (cracks) in the strata at the impact site.

Sand Dunes, Yuma: – open to ATV and dune buggy use.

Historic Train, Yuma – From the 1850s through the 1870s, Yuma was known for its steamboat crossing of the Colorado River. The steamboats transported passengers and equipment for the various mines and military outposts. Yuma served as the gateway to the new Republic (later State) of California, as it was one of the few natural spots to cross the very wide Colorado River. The Southern Pacific Railroad bridged the river in 1870 and helped continue Yuma as a major hub in the desert southwest. Yuma became the county seat for the area in 1864. Famous farm labor organizer Cesar Chavez was born and spent much of his life in Yuma.

GLIMPSE – the talents of the autism community

They are painters, sculptors and photographers; poets and storytellers; musicians and creators of amazing video games. They are kids, teens and adults. Last year, a new online publication arose to celebrate the talents of autistic individuals and other developmental disabilities: GLIMPSE, offered by ICDL (The Interdisciplinary Council of Developmental and Learning Disorders). In late 2008, Volume 2 of GLIMPSE was released, and was expanded into a print book and notecards. The works are serious, humourous, deeply personal and illuminating. See it for yourself, share it with others, submit your own/your child’s work for inclusion in Volume 3, to release later this year. Find information and ordering details at www.icdl.com

“Asperger Solution”

Kevin FoleyBA (Hons) Econ. PGCE

Having seen his son struggle with the demands of the mainstream, Kevin Foley now believes that:

“Too many children with AS suffer ‘meltdown’ as a result of being forced to operate in environments that test their immature executive, social, and emotional skills to breaking point – and beyond. We need to ‘personalise’ our children’s education so that this doesn’t happen. We need to cast a cold eye on what currently passes for ‘inclusion’ and be aware of the intrusion and exclusion that is the daily reality for many of our children in mainstream schools.”

CINEMA

Official Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lB95KLmpLR4

Synopsis: A story about the founders of the social-networking website, Facebook.

New York City Premiere at The Harvard Club(September 24, 2010)

“Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps”

Release Date: October 6, 2010. W’Wide

Official Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=873PrTZkLsI

Synopsis: As the global economy teeters on the brink of disaster, a young Wall Street trader partners with disgraced former Wall Street corporate raider Gordon Gekko on a two-tiered mission: To alert the financial community to the coming doom, and to find out who was responsible for the death of the young trader’s mentor.

…It’s more entertaining than many sequels, but with Oliver Stone directing, a terrific cast, and a timely storyline that picks up where the original left off, Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps should be better.
