CHULA VISTA, CA - Officers from the Chula Vista Police Department's DUI Enforcement Team will be deploying officers on a saturation patrol this weekend to crack down on drunk driving in the city's ongoing effort to improve traffic safety, save lives and prevent injuries. Officers will be targeting those who still don't heed the message to designate a sober driver.
If you drive drunk or impaired from alcohol or drugs, Chula Vista PD will be looking for you. If you're over the limit, you will be arrested. The Chula Vista Police Department urges citizens to use designated drivers.
Chula Vista PD will be conducting this "Zero Tolerance" DUI Saturation Patrol on Friday, May 13th, 2011, targeting those who still don't heed the message to designate a sober driver. Funding for the patrol is provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Since 2005, the number of alcohol involved fatalities has been dropping in Chula Vista, thanks to efforts like this. "Despite out successes here in Chula Vista, law enforcement and the public must continue to work toward zero DUI deaths," said Chula Vista Police Chief David Bejarano.
"Law enforcement officers are doing more to remove drunk drivers from California's streets and highways thanks to our DUI traffic safety funding," said Christopher J. Murphy, Director of the California Office of Traffic Safety. "But everyone can help make their communities safer. If you see a Drunk Driver - Call 9-1-1."
The DUI Saturation Patrol will deploy within the city limits of Chula Vista on Friday night starting at approximately 9:00 p.m.
Funding for this operation was provided by the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

The Haswell Review - Intel Core i7-4770K Performance and Architecture
Haswell - A New Architecture
Thanks for stopping by our coverage of the Intel Haswell, 4th Generation Core processor and Z87 chipset release! We have a lot of different stories for you to check out and I wanted to be sure you knew about them all.
- PCPer Live! ASUS Z87 Motherboard and Intel Haswell Live Event! - Tuesday, June 4th we will be hosting a live streaming event with JJ from ASUS. Stop by to learn about Z87 and overclocking Haswell and to win some motherboards and graphics cards!
- ASUS ROG Maximus VI Extreme Motherboard Review
- MSI Z87-GD65 Gaming Motherboard Review
- ASUS Gryphon Z87 Micro-ATX Motherboard Review
This spring has been unusually busy for us here at PC Perspective - with everything from new APU releases from AMD, new graphics cards from NVIDIA and now new desktop and mobile processors from Intel. There has never been a better time to be a technology enthusiast though some would argue that the days of the enthusiast PC builder are on the decline. Looking at the revived GPU wars and the launch of Intel's Haswell architecture, 4th Generation Core processors we couldn't disagree more.
Built on the same 22nm process technology that Ivy Bridge brought to the world, Haswell is a new architecture from Intel that really changes focus for the company towards a single homogenous design that has the ability to span wide ranging markets. From tablets to performance workstations, Haswell will soon finds its way into just about every crevasse of your technology life.
Today we focus on the desktop though - the release of the new Intel Core i7-4770K, fully unlocked, LGA1150 processor built for the Z87 chipset and DIY builders everywhere. In this review we'll discuss the architectural changes Haswell brings, the overclocking capabilities and limitations of the new design, application performance, graphics performance and quite a bit more.
Haswell remains a quad-core processor built on 1.4 billion transistors in a die measuring 177 mm2 with integrated processor graphics, shared L3 cache, dual channel DDR3 memory controller. But much has changed - let's dive in.
Continue reading our review of the new Hawell architecture and the Core i7-4770K processor!!
The Haswell Architecture
I have already done quite a bit of writing about the Haswell architecture itself, but much of it is going to be new to our readers or at the very least many will need a refresher. Let's dive into some of the details that were first revealed at the Intel Developer Forum last September.
While Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge were really derivatives of prior designs and thought processes, the Haswell design is something completely different for the company. Yes, the microarchitecture of Haswell is still very similar to Sandy Bridge (SNB), but the differences are more philosophical rather than technological.
Intel's target is a converged core: a single design that is flexible enough to be utilized in mobility devices like tablets while also scaling to the performance levels required for workstations and servers. They retain the majority of the architecture design from Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge including the core as well as the key features that make Intel's parts unique: HyperThreading, Intel Turbo Boost, and the ring interconnect.
The three pillars that Intel wanted to address with Haswell were performance, modularity, and power innovations. Each of these has its own key goals including improving performance of legacy code (existing), and having the ability to extract greater parallelism with less coding work for developers.
The modularity of Haswell is what gives the processor design its extreme flexibility while providing a consistent optimization path for software developers. The ability for a designer to write an application that can run (though at different feature or performance levels) across the entire array of devices that Haswell will find its way in is powerful.
Haswell (at least in this iteration) will be available in various different configurations including 2-4 processing cores, three different levels of graphics subsystem, differing idle and active power levels, interconnects, and platforms. This will greatly increase the power and performance ranges of Haswell compared to Ivy Bridge (and Sandy Bridge) and is enabled by the system agent that acts as the intermediary between all of the components on the SoC.
Intel also claims that Haswell will permit third-party IP integration, and thus will be capable of adding specific features and technologies as the OEMs demand.
Power Management
Changes to power management on Haswell address both active (in use) and sleep states in order to see the biggest alterations from previous architectures. The goal is to lower the power consumption required during CPU load while also decreasing the amount of time it takes for the entire system to enter and leave sleep states. Intel introduces a new S0ix status that it is borrowing from the ultra-mobile designs of Atom to get a 20x improvement in low power states, and allows improved realizable battery life.
Just as important as the new states themselves is that Intel claims they are completely transparent to "well written" software.
Other changes in the design address power with Haswell, including changes to Turbo Boost technology and more granular voltage and frequency "islands" for the CPU to enter. Also changed from SNB and IVB is that the frequency of the cores is decoupled from the ring bus allowing voltages to scale more gracefully to where the power is actually needed. For example, Ivy Bridge and Sandy Bridge both required power to increase on the CPU cores when the GPU needed more bandwidth on the ring interconnect for other purposes, which is a waste of valuable power.
While we talked about the idle power changes in the slide above, Intel also pointed out that at this point that is is the only CPU vendor that has complete control over its manufacturing. Intel can utilize that advantage by tweaking the process in very specific ways to meet any goals that the engineers might have.
Because the majority of Haswell designs will be completely Intel-based platforms, it makes sense for Intel to address this as well. You will see new voltage regulators and better power-managed controllers (embedded now) in addition to new IO options like I2C, SDIO and I2s that are traditionally only found in mobile devices. New link power states for traditional IO connections like USB and SATA are being introduced that can nearly drop power draw at idle to zero watts.
Haswell Microarchitecture Changes
While the Haswell design is based mainly on the architecture introduced with Sandy Bridge, there are some changes that Intel made to improve performance in the more typical fashion with an eye towards IPC (instructions per clock).
There were no changes in the key pipelines of Haswell but there were many areas that Intel said are "typical improvement points" for the company. The branch predictor has been improved as this is usually the best return on time investment from a CPU-design stand point; Intel increased the buffers on the OOO (out of order) structures in order to help improve the ability for the processor to find parallelism and take advantage of it.
Throughput also sees a boost, with 8 total ports on the reservation station with another ALU unit, another branching unit, and address store. This gives Haswell some improved metrics like two branches per cycle and two floating point MADDs per cycle – both improvements over what we saw in Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge processors.
New compute instructions expand on AVX, doubling both single precision and double precision FLOPs per core per cycle. Other new instructions accelerate very specific algorithms with updates for extract and deposits, bit manipulation, rotates, etc.
The cache implementation also sees interesting changes with Haswell including a doubling of the bandwidth to 32-bits wide and one L2 cache read every cycle. Seeing both L1 and L2 cache bandwidths double in a single generation without changing the organization and size of those structures is impressive, though it needs more explanation as well.
Another big upcoming change is the introduction of transactional synchronization extensions (TSX). TSX is a method to improve concurrency and multi-threadedness with as little work for the programmer as possible. By using these new ISA extensions, a developer can apply simple prefixes and suffixes to code blocks to indicate that they are independent and can be run in parallel. Hardware is then capable of managing transactional updates and restart execution if the required block isn't able to be run.
While this might be pretty specific to discuss with our audience, the implications are impressive. Increasing the parallelization of software is one of the key issues holding back innovation on many levels. We have seen the GPU vendors fight this (think CUDA) for years, and Intel's continued push into the MIC (many integrated core) markets will require it as well. If you are interested in this technology, you should check out David Kanter's detailed analysis of it.
Thanks for the review, I just wish you'd use 3930K instead of 3970X.
Are there any OpenCL benchmarks forthcoming, and are there any gaming engines that will be able to utilize Haswell GPGPU + CPU cores for gaming physics while simultaneously using a descrete GPU for gaming graphics! Also, are any lucid gpu virtualization software benchmarks going to be available for Haswell within the next few months, as for desktop gaming Haswell CPUs are always going to be paired with a descrete GPU, and being able to utilize the Haswell GPU for extra gaming compute would be a great boost, short of a 6 core Haswell appearing for the desktop!
Does anyone else see the problem with having 6 SATA3 ports?
They have not changed the 20Gbit DMI 2.0 connection between the CPU and chipset, so the performance of all these ports if actually being utilized is going to be crap, how can you expect to get anywhere close to the 36Gbit that the SATA3 ports should offer (thats when your not even taking into account the other IO, such as the extra SATA3 ports that some boards offer from addon controllers, that likely use some of the pci express lanes from the chipset, its all going to be incredibly bottlenecked by the DMI 2.0 20Gbit bus connecting the CPU to the Chipset
Does Intel no longer have anything to offer desktop enthusiasts? I've been reading the reviews for each generation of the i7 since my 920, and I still haven't seen a compelling reason to upgrade.
That's 4 generations of "evolution" that have yielded so little improvements in performance. "Tick-tock" is misleading, as it really feels like "tick-tock-tock-tock-tock..."
Closing thoughts page regarding power consumption has ("remember, they are different sockets not)". Aren't you missing something after "not"?
what about the locked parts OC? do you still have access to the 5x turbo increase at least?
so is a bulldozer i think the next gen will be better
@Jml: how about that mr. Jml ? Intel Haswell sucks and you suck aswell !
Yawn, what a pathetic showing from Intel.
What was the point of that cringe worthy denial of stagnation next to an admission of 5% improvement?
Isn't it high time to face the music when the efforts of thousands of brilliant and highly educated people and billions in expenses yield a 5% improvement?
Hi guys. Thanks for the wonderful review.
1. Do you know if any of the GPU SKUs supports FP64, particularly under OpenCL?
2. Is it possible for you to post the OpenCL extensions supported on the HD 4600? You can use a utility like "GPU Caps Viewer" from Geeks3D.
For GPU caps viewer, go to OpenCL tab, select the GPU device, then go to "More OpenCL information". That will display the exact list of OpenCL extensions supported. Your help will be greatly appreciated :)
No, just like Ivy, the GPU does not have OpenCL Khronos ARB FP64 certification. Nor has Intel provided a custom extension like AMD.
It does support FP64 under DirectX ComputeShader.
So it does support FP64 but not precise enough for OpenCL.
Also, wondering about the TSX support. Has Intel posted a list of which SKUs support the new transactional extensions (TSX)?
Appreciate the time to write up the review Ryan, it's just a shame Intel is teasing the desktop market with empty promises and a pointless iGPU that nobody cares about. I have yet to meet someone buying an i5 or i7 for their desktop scream, "Oh man it's got this kick ass iGPU HD 4000 graphics man!"
AMD may be weak in the market, but at least they don't waste their time and effort creating an all-in-one chip with half the die being wasted adding unnecessary heat. They could start pushing 6 core chips instead into the top i5/i7 chips and use that extra space to push 8 core Extreme parts, but they don't.
Do. Not. Under. Stand. Intel.
It is so true, Intel's integrated GPU IP will not For the foreseeable future, be able to keep up with AMD's offerings, as all AMD would have to do is up its, current technology, integrated GPU execution resources to easily overcome any Haswell gains! AMD's next generation hUMA APUs will, leave Intel's marketing spin pros, with the hard task of putting so much more lipstick, on an overpriced integrated GPU pig! It is no wonder why Intel marketing had to come up with the ultrabook form factor, to get their Ivybridge hd4000 and Haswell GT3 crystalwell integrated graphics into other than Apple laptop products, yes let's build a form factor so thin, that the only way to meet the thermal budget is to use Intel's CPU/(Anemic)GPU product, AMD will upstage Intel on this front, at a much lower cost! I am just fine with a regular form factor laptop, and descrete GPU, and would be better served if I could get more CPU cores, as opposed to an over priced Ultrabook with an overpriced CPU/GPU!
Looking at how AMD leads in the price performance (even the pretty old $100 A10-5800 is a better value than the $350 i7-4770!!!)...
Now we know why Intel CEO Otellini planned to officially jump ship on May 31, 2013. Because the Haswell benchmarks would show what a terrible investment of billions of dollars wasted with little to show.
Let's not forget Intel's poor graphics driver record, or Intel's OEM partners terrable OEM customizied Intel HD graphics driver update issues! Paul(Chip Pimp) Otellini is gone after pulling that golden rip cord, and bailing out! Intel, like M$, has had too much market share, for too long, and this PC/laptop user has had enough of this WINTEL madness! I will stay with my SandyBridge and W7 laptop, and look for AMD's HSA offerings and Linux! Ultrabooks, without a descrete GPU, is a Ultra Joke!
Great overall review. Detailed to say the least. Till there is 8 core Intel processors I dont see a need to upgrade from a 3930K for years.
The Core i5 Unlocked version should be interesting based on the price point. Thats what most will be looking at.
Hey, where's your FCAT results there buddy? intel pay you enough to omit it? pathetic
You're apparently too stupid to read. It says in the article they'll be testing the graphics later.
I'm personally interested to see how the GT3e GPU's do compared to mid ranged Nvidia GPU's.
Why wasn't an overclocked i7-3770K (4.5Ghz)included in the benchmarks? It would be nice to see how the chips compare at that level.
Would like to see an article looking at power consumption compared to a i7 920. There's a few of us out there with the good old 920 overclocked to 4GHz+ burning up a heap of power. I'm wondering if it's worth the upgrade to Haswell to reduce power consumption and see how long it'll take to pay off the upgrade.
please post report of glewinfo executable of http://glew.sourceforge.net/
this should post experimental OGL extensions not reported in gpu caps viewer and I suspect most of OGL 4.2 should expose entry points..
i hope in a very soon intel give us another options processor without Intel Integrated Graphics with price cutdown.
that because their IGP is so useless but still AMD bulldozer and APU is such a bottleneck when it's using with discrete GPU, either AMD and Nvidia GPU.
Hmmmm... Seems Haswell is Intel's "bulldozer" fiasco. Haswell should be called Failwell... or Hasbeen.
In every graph 3570K is named i7 instead of i5. Damn you copy paste :)
Micro Center has the I7-4770K for $279, $70 cheaper than Newegg.
Even better. They dropped the price on the 3770K by $130 to $229.
WTF Newegg/resellers. Have you really been gouging people this long?

Lieutenant Commander Robert Semple, USN, (1887-1943)
Robert Semple was born on 18 August 1887 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He enlisted in the U.S. Navy from that same state in February 1906. During his eight years of service, he was promoted to the enlisted rank of Chief Gunner. On 21 April 1914, at the intervention at Vera Cruz, Mexico, he served as the Chief Turret Captain on board USS Frederick, which provided gun support for landing forces to ensure the capture of the city. For his "meritorious service" on this occasion, he was awarded the Medal of Honor. In December 1915, Semple was commissioned to the warrant officer rank of Gunner and reported to USS Frederick.
During World War I, Semple received a temporary promotion to Ensign in August 1917, which was followed by a temporary promotion to Lieutenant Junior Grade. In September 1918, he was temporarily promoted to Lieutenant and assigned to USS Oklahoma. For his performance while patrolling minefields in the North Sea, Semple received the Navy Cross. In December 1919, he served on board the receiving ship Philadelphia at Puget Sound Navy Yard, Bremerton, Washington. In June 1920, he was assigned to the Naval Ammunition Depot at Fort Mifflin, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and later transferred to the Naval Ammunition Depot at San Julien's Creek, Portsmouth, Virginia. While at the Ammunition Depot, Semple was reverted to the warrant officer rank of Chief Gunner. Returning to sea duty, he report first to USS Beaver, then to the respective cargo ships Pensacola and Gold Star.
In the spring of 1926, Semple was ordered to the Naval Mine Depot at Yorktown, Virginia. In August 1928, he returned for duty on board USS Oklahoma. In February 1931, he was assigned to the Naval Ammunition Depot at Hawthorne, Nevada. Two years later, he departed for overseas duty at Naval Station, Guam. In the summer of 1935, he reported to the destroyer tender Rigel. In October 1937, Semple retired and was placed on the retired list as a Lieutenant due his prior combat service. During World War II, he was recalled to active duty but died on 13 May 1943, which was also became his promotion date for Lieutenant Commander. Robert Semple is interned at Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery, San Diego, California.

A decent living and hope for the future.
For most of us, that's all we want, all we need, to be happy and live fulfilling lives. And it's what Unifor wants, too.
The low-paying precarious jobs that define today's economy won't provide the security and stability workers need. Instead, they promise a country in which young people can expect, for the first time in Canadian history, to be worse off than their parents.
That's why Unifor is moving forward with plans to host a National Good Jobs Summit, bringing together all stakeholders to start a conversation about creating jobs with fair wages – jobs that are safe and secure.
On the World Day for Decent Work on Oct. 7, Unifor National President Jerry Dias reaffirmed his promise for Unifor to hold a Good Jobs Summit in 2014.
To read Unifor's 2013 World Day for Decent Work Statement click here (pdf).
We need to work toward a better future. That work starts today.
You can help by:
- Telling us your story about precarious work and how you would make your job better by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com. Let us know if you'd like to get updates on this campaign;
- Taking to Twitter with the hashtag #GoodJobsRev to get the conversation started.

Possible ADD
Find a Conversation
|Thu, 09-09-2010 - 5:21pm
Good Afternoon!
My son turned 8 in May and is in 3rd Grade.
He was "placed" in 3rd grade, not promoted, due to Benchmark scores last years saying he was below grade level in reading and writing.
I have been asking since 1st grade for him to be tested for any type of learning disability, but they didn't answer my questions until his ARD last year.
They don't do learning disability testing until the beginning of 3rd grade, so that if a child does enter into a special education IEP that is other than Speech, their TAKS Test scores wont count against the school.
(We live in Texas)
I was angry that they wait this long when they see a child is smart, but still behind.
I met this morning with the schools diagnostician who did my sons testing.
She shared she tested him over a period of 5 days.
He was administered the Woodcock Johnson Test and the WISK Test (Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children)
He was re evaluated for Speech Services, tested for IQ and academic achievement.
He does not show a defecate for a learning disability based on the types of tests they administered.
He scored low in Processing Speed (77) (anything below an 85 is a cause for concern, and in Short Term Memory (72) on the Woodcock Johnson Test, but then two days later she used the WISK test and my son scored a 100 for short term memory, so that brought the 72 above the 85 mark.
He showed an 83 in Math Calculation on the academic achievement test, but they were timed Math problems, and I know my son, you cannot put him on a time restraint, he will keep working slow, and get frustrated.
One of the tests was a page of numbers where he had to choose which ones were alike, instead of going from left to right, he started in the middle, and with so many numbers on the page that intimidates him.
One of the other parts was pointing to animals when the audio recording said the animals name, but during this there was also another audio recording of noises you would hear in a restaurant, and my son said he couldn't hear the first recording, that the second one (that was meant to be there to distract the kids) was too loud, so he becomes off track and the second audio distracted him from hearing anything else.
That I already knew, he needs to be able to be focused and not bothered; he is easily distracted.
She spoke with sons 2nd grade teacher from last year, and then observed him in his class this year in 3rd grade.
He will work for a little bit and then start looking around the room, or fidgeting with his clothes, he has to be redirected to the task in the classroom, and she observed he sometimes looked like he was day dreaming.
She said for me to consider ADD or emotional set back issues.
(Husband had brain surgery in Aug 2008, we lost our home and only car in Hurricane Ike in Sept/Oct 2008, we had to move, he had to change to a new school.
Three months into the new school his 1st grade year he was touched inappropriately by three different girls in his class, the school defended the girls, and blamed it all on my son.
I withdrew him from school for three weeks after this happened and it was proven my son was not the problem, and the girls were touching other boys while my son was gone.
I had to go to mediation with the school district, my sons outside therapist, and the school administrators, and I enrolled him back in the same school because they would not let us transfer, or go back to the school we had moved from.
There were no problems during summer school or during 2nd grade.)
But now all the things he has been through, he doesn't believe he can do work that is harder than he is used to, he shuts down and wont try.
There has to be something to him being behind.
He displays Attention problems that would be the signs of ADD, but he isn't a behavior problem.
He loves to read, he loves math, and science, loves animals.
He needs to discuss books, or situations, he can't just read something on a page and retain the information.
If you discuss it, he processes everything.
If a question is read to him, he can understand it.
When there is something he likes, he will pay attention, it's just getting his attention back to you once that interest gets his creativity flowing.
He wears glasses for stigmatizms and needs to have work on paper in front of him to copy it down, he has big problems with copying from the board or a transparency projected on the board.
He has had problems for almost 4 yrs with bad bronchitis or lung sicknesses when the weather changes, he was given Allegra for allergies, but then he gets allergy induced asthma brought on by the severe bronchitis.
These allergies are factors that display in ADD children as well.
My issue with the labels of ADD or ADHD is how easy society (meaning schools, doctors, and other mental health professionals) diagnoses kids with this and how quick they are to medicate.
Also, how the schools are so quick to label these children as "problem child" groups.
I've seen how the meds make the kids zombie's and just a shell of who they really should be, which are kids, having fun, but also learning.
I am looking at all the options, and what is the best way to move forward.
It was said my son doesn't have a problem intellectually or academically, but there is an issue somewhere that is causing him to fall behind.
The next step is the school psychologist that is separate from the school counselor come to the school and observe my son in class on more than one occasion and in different classroom settings and make her observations of if it is ADD, or an emotional factor.
It will take a while since she only comes on Mondays and has a large number of kids to see, but it will go from there.
I am waiting to receive the results of the Celiac Disease tests on Sept 23rd and this may bring light to some other problems with food allergies, which can cause learning problems.
(he already has lactose intolerance).
Thanks for your reading, I'm sorry this was so long.
I hope we all can be here for each other and learn along this journey of motherhood to do the best for our kids with special needs.~*~Debbie~*~

HI, and welcome
Honestly, it sounds like you live in my School District( and we also lost our home to Hurricane Ike, so I know you are within 100 miles of me, I am in Orange County..LOL)! They can, and DO test
|Fri, 09-10-2010 - 7:24am
Thanks for your reply!
We lived in Harris County, in Katy (West Houston)
about 1 and a half hrs from Galveston when we lost the house.
Cy-Fair ISD is where my two oldest go, and they don't test before third grade, I asked the school, requested it through the district special education for elementary chair, and went to student services with the superintendents office.
They may do it in other districts, but not this one.
There are so many Title 1 schools in this district that barely get the funds they need, so testing whenever a parents asks is not something they will do.
The politics are all screwed up in the district.
I will bring him back to his child therapist that worked with him since 1st grade, but also see what the school psychologists says.
His ENT has a referral for an audiologist due to some ear drum problems he sustained with too many ear infections from bronchitis or other bacteria.
The right meds work great on different children, sadly my experience with a variety of children with ADHD is where doctors have given one medicine, and not changed when it makes them a shell of a person.
The music therapy services we give don't help if the child isn't there.
The ADD children are helped mainly by alternative routes aside from medicine because the doctors say they don't need help to calm down and not be hyper, they need help turning their brains back on when it shuts down for a bit.
This is not how it works for everyone, but around Houston the kids are falling through when doctors don't listen and parents don't know where else to go, or what to do.
The label is too quickly passing around, especially in Houston ISD that if a child has ADD/ADHD they are problem children and the district doesn't try to work with interventions.
This is not right, but too few voices are speaking out when witnessing this, and there needs to be more for anyone to take a look into what's happening.
That's why my motto is be the best advocate mother for our children because no one else will.

So, you get the ADHD diagnosis & they WONT give accomodations? That's...backwards, to say the least.
Um, in case you don't know this, your school district is awful, based on what you said (the testing of kids? That's federal law!).
Meds: I'll say this--they are an absolute blessing for my child. He is MORE himself on them, more "there", more able to have long conversations, to interact with everything around him, etc., etc. I was terrified of giving him meds (the zombie thing!), but we did, because you can STOP if it's hurting the kid. I mean, no way would he be taking meds if it turned him into the zombie. We do have a Dr who listens to what the kid needs--hope you find a good one too!--which helps, but end game, as parents, we make the final decision.
It sounds to me like you are talking far more about ADHD-inattentive than ADHD-hyperactive, for your kid? He's not getting out of his seat & wandering around, "just" having to be refocused constantly? That's my kid. We found (find!) it's really hard to do things about this because his distractions are internal--hard to take his own brain out, as it were. Even with meds, the teachers have had to help along the way with reminders, etc. 3rd grade? What really worked then was for stuff like writing (where it's worst for my kid), the teacher would come by & drop a small block on his desk every 5 minutes. No words, very quiet, just the block. He was supposed to write 1 sentence per block, as I remember it. It worked well for him.
Good luck--and I hope you manage to get the school system to work for you guys!

Hi Megan,
I am just now going through assessments for my son for Attention Defecate Disorder, he might have it, or might not, I am getting a variety of opinions before I move forward.
I asked inside my school district to have my son tested for learning delays in first grade, they shared they don't test until the beginning of 3rd grade, but they did the run around or ignoring parents for over a year before they tell us when they do testing.
It's not right, the parents here don't agree, but there is only so much stomping and venting we could do before it all hit a brick wall of no one listening.
What i have shared here is the horror stories I see with the Special Needs Children I work with, and the screwed up ways the school districts around Houston handle there special education department.
Or how some of the doctors prescribe meds and it doesn't help the children, or don't try to find a solution to if that med isn't right for them.
I am no expert, but sharing my opinion because it is not helping the severely handicapped or ADHD - Hyperactive children who come to us for Music Therapy Services.
The parents are upset and hurt that their voices aren't being heard when they want the best for their children.
Now that I started the assessments for my son, and since I have previous experience through work, when I hear ADD or emotional set back as the diagnosis the school diagnostician has made, I am guarded with what I will believe and with what direction automatically the school will go with saying it is this, and not being for sure.
The problem many school districts have is if the child is not tested into the "gifted" category though multiple tests, but also don't test in the "defecate" for IQ or academic achievement, then they are grouped in with the rest of the average student population, but there is no intervention or modification for them when they fall behind or learn differently.
The professionals are too often wanting to give the kids a diagnosis of an attention problem, or hyperactivity problem, when they don't know for sure, or don't do accurate testing to see where the real problem lies.
Public school has fallen behind with ensuring every child learns the best way for them, the teachers aren't able to work one on one because there are so many demands, too little time, and too full classes.
Kids are falling through the cracks and it becomes too late when the problem is finally noticed.
My mother was a teacher in Canada and the states and saw this as well in ESL and then when she went into administration.
My sister was a speech and Debate Teacher along with Speech Pathology, she saw the same things as well.
Everyone might not see it, or form the same observation or opinion, i am just sharing how things are happening around here.
Many school districts are great from the outside, but then you get to know the feel and how the special education systems work within the schools and school district and it's a nightmare.
|Fri, 09-10-2010 - 9:31am
The school district doesn't have a choice of when they test, or at what age or grade. IDEA 2004 states that they have 60 days from the date of request to finish it, or they are violating federal law. I imagine a few calls to the State Board of Education (TEA) would get their attention. They can only test for Ld's however.
I do know what you mean however, I see it all the time. Kids misdiagnosed by a Ped or GP, or the testing and bloodwork not being done and there is a comorbid or underlying problem. . Kids on the wrong meds and either parents or Dr's not making the change that is needed. We had our testing done at TX Childrens. They have a Psych team, so your child is evaluated by multiple Dr's. We saw a Neuropsych, Psychologist, Psychiatrist and a Neurologist. It took several weeks, and alot of driving back and forth to Houston....but it is thorough, and not the first one we have done. I get DD evaluated every 3 years or so, just to make sure.
A child may HAVE ADHD, but it is not what they ARE. Never tell a child they ARE ADHD.
|Fri, 09-10-2010 - 9:41am
I did report the school, and the administrators I spoke to, and documented what they told me in email, phone, letter, or in person.
I am not sure how long it will take, or what will be done, but it is not correct for a school administrator for special education to tell a parent that they do not test for learning disabilities until the beginning of third grade for the sole fact that since TAKS starts in 3rd grade and if the children are entered into special education, then their TAKS scores wont be counted against the school, which will then not hurt them for Title 1 Funds.
The kids in special education aren't stupid, and should be labeled as not being able to do well on tests, ect.
I know about Title 1 and what the schools get and don't get, and what money is allocated to help special educations, ect, so it was very upsetting to have someone say that.
Just frustrating all around.
Happy Friday to all the Moms Here.

Have you had your son checked to see if his eyes are tracking together properly? If they are not, vision therapy help with your son's vision. It is certainly possible that he has more than one thing going on with his eyes. You may need to go to a different eye doctor - some think it is a bunch of hooey, but it certainly helped my son. My son couldn't get his eyes to move together. Words on the page moved around. Too much print was confusing - he often started in the middle or end of the line. Everything else that he was seeing was in double vision. To get it not in double vision he had to move - a lot. He sought out other sensory input to compensate for the vision - hugging, touching everything, oral stimulation. It sounds like your son has some similar issues with too much print on the page, and movement.
The therapy took us about 6 months, with daily practice, but his reading level went from below grade level to above. He isn't moving so much. He doesn't touch and hug as much. Reading he can do on his own now, and is even writing a lot more now.
Try an optometrist if you are currently seeing an ophthalmologist. Ophthalmologists tend to go to physical things to correct eye issues - glasses and surgery. Optometrists can't do surgery but do believe that sometimes the muscles don't work properly, but through training (like physical therapy) that eye muscles can be retrained so that they can work properly. This is a non-medicine based therapy that "may" have some results for your son and is worth checking out at least to rule it out. The school will not do this for you - you will need to go to an eye doctor. Our insurance paid for it because it was a medical issue (lazy eye.)
|Fri, 09-10-2010 - 12:05pm
Thanks for this information.
It's always worth looking into.
He had glasses starting at the end of 1st grade, and when we had his eyes checked again this summer the stigmatism wasn't as bad, so the glasses helped i guess, or with him growing his eyes developed more, not sure.
He reads great, I've seen much better improvement with starting 3rd grade and he reads his homework to himself.
He stays at his desk in class, it's just a matter of not copying work from the board onto his paper, he needs to have it in front of him.
I only know of what the diagnostician said about he started with his hands in the middle of the page to do one test, and then seemed intimidated with a lot of numbers on one page.
He sees a child optometrist, so I will share with her what he is doing at school and see if she will test him for more vision problems.
My sister was born blind in one eye, and I had exotropia growing up where they did pencil therapy and then patch therapy, it corrected itself and now i just wear glasses or mainly contacts for stigmatisms, my husband was born with coloboma of the optic nerve and a blown pupil from his hydrocephalus and spina bifida birth defects, so it's highly possible for genetic eye disorders.
Thanks again, and glad your son received therapy to help him and improve his ability to learn.
|Mon, 09-13-2010 - 1:34pm
Part of the stuff that my son did for therapy was the near-far stuff. He had a Hart Chart (developed by Dr. Hart) which has letters to be read in groups of 4 - two exactly the same charts - one was a really tiny font that was held by his nose, and the other was much larger and placed a few feet away. He practiced this with a patch over one eye. Basically I could see how it mimics the back and forth that are needed to copy stuff off the board. There were other exercises too - reading letters from different charts to move the focus of the eyes. Even with therapy he may still need glasses, but it may help some with this stuff.
Until he gets the help he needs, I would talk to the teacher about how to help him - let him copy from his neighbor, have the teacher give him the stuff on paper, or have him sit up front and have her check to see if he is copying the stuff. This doesn't correct the problem, but it can help for a period of time.

BALTIMORE — Second baseman Alexi Casilla has seldom been used by the Orioles, appearing in less than half of the team's games as a late-inning replacement and rarely getting a start, with manager Buck Showalter preferring to keep his speed on the bench as a potential weapon.
But Casilla — starting for just the fourth time since May 27 — didn't need anything more than a slow jog on Tuesday night, connecting for the second of two pivotal seventh-inning homers. Casilla drove a 1-1 slider from Cleveland starter Justin Masterson into the right-field seats, snapping a 3-3 tie and ending the Orioles' four-game losing skid with a 6-3 victory.

One study by James Lucas in 2007 put the death toll of civilians from American wars and sponsored conflicts in 37 countries since the Second World War at up to 30 million lives. The proportion of that figure corresponding to child deaths is not known but if the casualty rate of Iraq is anything to go by we can estimate that the number of children killed by American militarism and covert wars since WWII is easily in the order of 20 million - that is, a million times the carnage last week in Connecticut."
But note the figure of 20 million child deaths from American militarism is bound to be a serious underestimate of the actual total. In the last five years, the world has seen an escalation of child mortality from the carcinogenic legacy of depleted uranium and suspected use of other nuclear weapons in Iraq. The above figures do not include the latest killings from American assassination drones in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia, Yemen and other suspected war theatres, such as Mali in West Africa. Nor do the figures include overt and covert American military action in Libya last year and currently in Syria - nor the ongoing imposition of crippling sanctions against Iran where an untold number of sick children are dying from lack of medicines due to Washington's import blockade.
America has become a killing machine, driven by an ideology in which human life is but a worthless commodity that can be exploited and discarded. The discarding of human life is seen most graphically in foreign countries where American elite interests want oil or some other commercial or geopolitical gain. But increasingly this killing machine is turning in on itself, destroying its own society, families and individuals.

December 22, 2014
SHAWNEE, Okla. (AP) - A former East Central University student has been ordered to stand trial on a murder charge in the shooting death of another student at the university.
Jerrod Murray of Asher is charged with first-degree murder in the Dec. 5 death of 18-year-old Generro Sanchez near Asher. Both men were freshmen at East Central in Ada at the time of the shooting.
Murray has pleaded not guilty. The Oklahoman reports that he said only "No ma'am" when asked by a reporter for comment before Thursday's hearing in Pottawatomie County District Court in Shawnee.
Authorities say Murray lured Sanchez to his death by offering him $20 for a ride to a store. Investigators say Murray confessed to killing Sanchez to see what it felt like.

Style Me Pretty Chicago wedding photography at Gallery 1028
Style Me Pretty has shared some wedding photos from a Gallery 1028 Chicago wedding I was the photographer for recently. Halley and Josh tied in Hungarian and Jewish traditions, along with some new trends at their ceremony and reception. The couple was adorably stylish and put on a super fun party for their family and friends with the help of Chicago's best DJ Style Matters. The bride wore vintage jewelry, a handmade veil, and put together a well-coordinated theme with the help of Etsy! The bridal party had a fun factor of at least 1,000 as we traveled around the city for bridal party photos. Halley and Josh had tapas style food stations. What I love about Gallery 1028 is that it is a raw loft space close to downtown Chicago with a large capacity that can accommodate both modern ideas and vintage styles.
Many of the Gallery 1028 weddings I have photographed have been featured lately on many wedding blogs including Kristen and Jason's summer Gallery 1028 wedding on Be U Weddings and Laura and Mike's autumn wedding at Gallery 1028 on Style Me Pretty,

Dana Perino: As Seen On TV
Posted by Victoria Reynolds | Posted in Bush Administration, Tony Snow Moment, White House | Posted on 31-08-2007
Tony Snow said this about the next White House press secretary Dana Perino: "a smart, capable person who is able to spell out the issues of the day in a way that people listening on TV can understand."
TV indeed. Replacing Tony Snow might be just a stepping stone. Perino might actually be angling for Alex Trebek's job.
From an April 2007 White House press briefing:
Q Yes, thank you, Dana. Two questions on American business. In the –
MS. PERINO: American business for 200. (Laughter.) I've always wanted to be on that show.
We hope her job's not already in Jeopardy.

Our MissionHope for Haiti is a Naples, FL-based charitable organization operating in Port-au-Prince and out of Les Cayes in the south of Haiti. Serving in the remotest areas, Hope for Haiti's mission is to improve the quality of life for the Haitian people, particularly children, through education, nutrition, and healthcare. For over 20 years, the organization has been working in partnership with the Haitian people, to connect, heal, and empower communities on the path toward sustainability.
This is My HaitiDarlande Telusma is a mother of two children. Her elder child, Cherely, is a seven-year-old first grader at a rural primary school supported by Hope for Haiti. Her younger child is only two years old and will begin kindergarten next year. Darlande often volunteers in the kindergarten program as a support aide, since she lives close by and lacks stable work in the formal sector. "I sell drinks and chewing gum near the school, but what I hope for my children is that they have steady work and have a way to support themselves."
Darlande gave birth in the local public healthcare facility about 30 minutes away by car. However, healthcare is the biggest need for her community. "If a child has a fever, you run with him to town. But during that time, the fever can get worse… he can even die." Hope for Haiti's Public Health Program trains and equips two local Community Health Workers, who provide education and basic first aid in the school. Still, if there is an emergency or an accident, a patient must travel over one hour by car to the nearest hospital.

We began offering pace leaders for the KeyBank Vermont City Marathon in 2009. This year, pace leaders are available for the following times: 3:30, 3:45, 4:00, 4:15, 4:30, 4:45, 5:00, and 5:30. We'll feature our pace team leaders here on the blog every Tuesday and Thursday through mid-April.
If you're interested in running with a pace leader or just want to know more about the program, please be sure to read this post. While registration is not required, we would love to get a sense of how many people plan to run with each SkiRack Pace Leader. Please contact our SkiRack Pace Team coordinator, Jack Pilla, at firstname.lastname@example.com indicating which pace group you plan to run with. No worries if you change your mind between now and race day and decide to run another pace or opt out of the Pace Team.
Rowly Brucken (3:30) :: email :: 2nd post
I have run marathons and ultramarathons over the past twenty plus years, having lived in Kentucky and Vermont during that time span. The decision in 1990 to run my first marathon in Columbus occurred three months after having surgery to remove an aggressive cancerous tumor from my left quad and save my leg, which even today makes me profoundly grateful to be able to put one foot in front of the other.
Two years ago, the Green Mountain Marathon was my 50th race at that distance, and the sight of my wife at the finish line made it even more special. I've been blessed with having entered an extraordinary range of marathons, from a 7-person event in over 100-degree humid heat in Kentucky to enduring a driving rainstorm and near northeaster in Boston to passing out before finishing in Chicago. Seeking new challenges, I entered my first ultramarathon in 1998 and have run perhaps 20 in all in distances up to 100 miles. This year, my goal is to finish the Vermont 100, which I have not run in seven years. I've had much success in terms of winning and placing high in long-distance races (and have been injury free for 25 years, which I owe to luck and simple training rules), but finishing high is not as important to me as being grateful for having the good health needed to stand at the starting line in the first place.
Personal bio:
I am a history professor at Norwich University, teaching courses in modern American history, U.S. foreign policy, and international human rights law. My research centers on the historical development of key international agreements that ban genocide, torture, and systemic abuses of civil and political rights. As a member of Amnesty International for over 20 years, I have held a number of volunteer positions at the state and national levels. I currently serve as one of AIUSA's experts on Zimbabwe and testify in federal immigration court on behalf of Zimbabwean asylum seekers. My wife Lisa is a wonderful and active supporter of my running addiction, and we have 3 daughters, ages 12, 11 and 5. Also, I have been a coach for the Girls on the Run organization in Northfield, where I live. Over the past eight years, I have absolutely loved working with dozens of girls in the 3rd through 5th grade in using running as a vehicle to explore issues of self-esteem, positive body images, goal-setting, and living drug-free.
Last book I read:
"Harry Truman's Excellent Adventure: The True Story of a Great American Road Trip" by Matthew Algeo. I have always admired Truman's personal character and values (while dissenting from some of his foreign policy decisions). He was plainspoken, accessible, a master of small talk, unpretentious, humble, and thrifty. When he left the White House, he lived in the same house he had owned for 30 years, accepted no lucrative business deals, refused to cash in on his Presidential past, lived only off his WWI pension, and decided to do something different. He and his wife, Bess, took a three-week road trip by car (Harry at the wheel, Bess repeatedly warning him to stay at 55 miles per hour) from his home in Independence, Missouri to Washington, D.C., stopping off in Philadelphia and New York City on the return trip. Algeo tells a poignant and funny tale as the couple tries to travel in anonymity while meeting ordinary citizens at gas stations, diners, and hotels.

Home > Health & Wellness > Health Library > Pregnancy: Varicose Veins
Varicose veins are enlarged, swollen veins that are
caused by faulty valves in the veins or weak vein walls. They are common during
pregnancy, particularly in women with a family history of the problem.
veins typically develop on the legs but can also affect the
vulva. Though varicose veins are often only a cosmetic
concern, they can become painful. In severe cases, they can bleed.
During pregnancy, the growing uterus puts more pressure on the veins
that return blood from the legs, and it becomes harder for blood to
leave the legs. (The extra weight of multiple fetuses puts an even greater
burden on the deep veins in the legs.) This can lead to pooled blood that
causes one or more veins to swell.
If you or other women in your family have had varicose veins, use
preventive and treatment measures that are safe during pregnancy.
Only in severe cases are varicose veins treated with surgery or
injected medicine during pregnancy.
After pregnancy, varicose veins do not always return to their
previous size.

Any building destined for Antarctica's frigid frontier has to be really tough so Bof Architekten built India's massive Bharathi Research Station out of 134 rugged, prefab containers. Restricted by extreme weather conditions and long travel distances, the Hamburg-based design firm wrapped the massive prefabricated building in a special aluminum skin that can withstand powerful winds, below 40 degree Celsius temperatures, blizzards, snow, and unfathomable thermal and mechanical loads.
The Bharathi Research Station traveled 3,231 miles from Germany to Antarctica via Cape Town, which is why the designer opted for prefab construction that can be easily assembled and disassembled – first at the Duisburg test site and then in its final destination. The 6,562 square foot facility weighs 1,000 metric tons and living there is no easy feat. Meteorologists, climatologists, and astrophysicists who spend months at a time inside this building will need all the help they can get to stay sane.
As a result, Bof Architekten gave the aluminum-wrapped container structure extensive glazing on one side to maintain a visual connection with the great white landscape, adding high thermal insulation aluminum panels and insulated glass elements to keep interior temperatures comfortable. Construction is expected to be completed by April this year, when 25 polar researchers will be ready to move in.

St. Pats Water Parade
The 23rd Annual St. Pats Water Parade took place Saturday, March 15. The parade is a fun day trip on the water and a perfect way to kick off the Spring boating season!! We started the day with a tasty breakfast buffett at Ozark Bar-B-Que and then cruised the Gravois Arm. For those who prefer to just cruise on the water or don't have a boat of their own, tickets were available for seats aboard the Tropic Island Cruise boat! Souvenir long sleeve shirts are also available. We are looking forward to another parade in 2015.
