International Edition
Scorpacciata is a term that means consuming large amounts of a particular local ingredient while it's in season. It's a good way to eat. Let Mario Batali pronounce it for you.
The first time my mother ever cooked for my father, she made okra. If the cuisine of my childhood provides any indication, there's an excellent chance that she defrosted a cube of pods, chucked them into a pot and boiled until floppy. Neither she nor my father is Southern or Indian in upbringing. Okra is not their birthright; they were clearly tempting fate.
My father chewed dutifully, likely made the appropriate "yummy" faces - until my mother took a bite and bolted for the sink. He quickly followed suit, and the story became the stuff of family legend - not to mention a family phobia. We never ate the stuff growing up. I can't say I ever stumbled across the pods on my suburban supermarket's shelves, and the occasional package surfacing in freezer aisle evoked a full body shudder from whichever parent I was flanking. "Ugh! It's just so...slimy."
Yup – it sure can be. "Snot" is often cited as the closest texture analogue, and that's fair. Okra is a member of the mallow family, and as such contains mucilage - a sticky substance that may seep out when the okra pod is cut.
This is emphasized, and in fact prized in some dishes like gumbo, where it's added to lend both flavor and body, or in a traditionally Southern tomato and okra stew. A splash of vinegar or lemon juice can help cut the slime factor, but the truly ooze-averse cooks tend to default to frying.
Golden brown rounds at a roadside barbecue joint in the shadow of a South Texas mega-church provided my own personal okra redemption. There's much to be said for whole pods or slices dredged in cornmeal flecked with salt and pepper, and fried in the fat of one's choosing. It's darned delicious, and minimal in slime, but it's also, ya know - fried. Can't do that every day.
So I've experimented over the years, tossing raw slices into salads, roasting on baking sheets and pickling jars of whole pods to garnish drinks. All those methods have their merit, but I've found that open flame works perhaps best of all. The outer skin crisps up to nearly crackling on the grill, while the insides of the pods stay miraculously slime free and still maintain moisture throughout.
It's a textural two-fer that's packed with health benefits, including high fiber, Vitamins A and C and plenty of minerals like iron, calcium, manganese and magnesium. If I'm firing up the grill to sear a skirt steak or a halibut filet, it's become second nature to toss on a skewer or two of fresh, young, in-season okra to serve as a side.
'Snot any trouble at all.
Grilled Okra
Wash fresh, young pods and trim the stems, while leaving the tops intact. Thread the pods onto skewers side by side, but not touching. If you're using bamboo skewers, soak them for at least 30 minutes beforehand so they won't burn.
Brush or spray the pods lightly with oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Your favorite barbecue rub will add an extra layer of flavor, as will powdered, okra-friendly spices like cumin, coriander, turmeric, paprika or cayenne pepper.
Heat the grill to medium, oil the grate and cook the skewers for 2-3 minutes, then flip over for an addition 2-3 minutes. The pods should be slightly crisp and pick up grill marks, but shouldn't be charred.
Remove from heat, remove the skewers, sprinkle lightly with lemon juice if desired and serve.

I had to pick just ONE way in the poll? I like it any way you serve it – except at that restaurant chain that chops it into 1/4 inch pieces and then deep batter fries the pieces so you can't tell there isn't anything other than grease and tasteless starch in there. Country something...(See? It was so traumatic I forgot the name!)
Saute w/ cream fresh corn. Remove ends and stem, cut okra on a bias to create a wide profile and even sized pieces. Saute fresh corn in a small amount of butter and cream, salt and pepper to taste, toss in your okra right when the corn is finished and allow to stand for 3-5 minutes after mixed into the hot corn mix. Okra will tenderize but remain crisp and won't start to become "snotty". This is a vibrantly bright dish with great presentation appeal and a nice summer crisp flavor that you will want to make over and over.....
Wow! Grilled okra is an awesome addition to grilled veggies! Thank you for grilling something other than meat and sharing it with the world. I was recently inspired by this delicious picture: http://imunchie.com/oliviab/munchies/grilled-savory-vegetables
Re : the dehydrated thread , Earth Fare carries their line of okra and other veggies and theyre kinda freeze dried but totally dry and crunchy.. I grew Clemson spineless in containers this year , tall plants will suppress any other "hitchhikers" Good yeild and one of the prettiest blooms in my garden
That story is right up there. The first meal my then-boyfriend (now hubby of 33+ years) made for me was liver and onions! That could've been tempting fate too, except I love liver and onions. So all's well that ends well!
Just a note....how about trying some GOOD salt in this dish? I recently got some Himalayan pink salt and organic peppercorns from Sustainable Sourcing https://secure.sustainablesourcing.com and I'll have to try them out in this recipe. Thanks for sharing!
The Indian way: bindi masala- can find on almost any menu in an Indian restaurant and is easy to make at home.
I like it best baked!
Trim the stems off, toss in a little olive oil, salt & pepper or other seasoning mixture, and bake in an uncovered dish at 350" for 15 or 20 minutes.
No Slime!
We saute it in butter with lemon juice, garlic and hot sauce and serve it over rice. Sometimes I add fire roasted tomatoes or sliced up sausage-yum!
My wife doesn't like the slime factor either but I love it most any way it's cooked. My wife likes to cook it the way her grandmother always cooked it which is to chop it up and heat it in the fryin' pan with a little oil until the moisure cooks out. When that happens she adds one egg and mixes it with the okra as the egg cooks (scrambles). She adds salt and pepper for seasoning. Everyone in our family enjoys it this way.
Okra grilled is absolutely fabulous and for those who haven't tried, please do. You will be very surprised. Yummi!!!
Pour some EVO all over me and then.......Eat Me.
I use Alton Brown's method. Cut okra in corn meal with salt and pepper (sometimes garlic powder) and placed into a dry pan. Working on top of the stove, let it continue on medium heat until golden and a little crunchy. The okra puts out just enough moisture to make the corn meal stick.
You get tired of the same old green beans, corn, and broccoli. Okra is a nice change once in a while.
The best dish with okra is from my home state, Minas Gerais, Brazil: chicken with okra: http://www.cozinhabrasileira.com/carnes/frango_com_quiabo_2.html. Please, use a translator.
I'm from Alabama, where we deep fry quiabo, but my husband is from Goiás, and we live in Paraná, and he cooks it diced with different kinds of abóbora. He also makes it similar to your recipe with galinha caipira (but only when he doesn't have any pequi).
stir-fried with Garlic, cilantro, onions and mushrooms in olive oil
The best way to eat it is to feed it to the garbage disposal, but it jams up the disposal too.
Other for sure – I LOVE okra cooked Indian style as Bhindi Masala. Saute some onion in ghee till it's well caramelized, remove from pan, then add a few tablespoons more ghee (clarified butter). Throw in a tsp or so of cumin seed (plus some mustard seed if you like, which I do occasionally). When the seed crackles, add 1/2 tsp ground turmeric, 1 1/2 tsp garam masala, 1/4 tsp or to taste of ground or crushed red pepper (you can use paprika if you want it totally mild), about 1 1/2 cups (8 oz.) young, tender okra cut into 1/2 inch slices, and about half of another onion chopped in large pieces. It's very important to use only the smallest young okra; select them carefully, only those less than the length of your middle finger and no thicker than your thumb. Older , bigger pieces are tough and woody, and a lot slimier. Stir and fry for about 5 minutes then add about 2/3 cup coarsely chopped tomato (about one medium or 2-3 roma). Fry for another couple of minutes then return the caramelized onion to the pan with about 2 tbsp water. Continue to cook until the onion and okra are tender and the tomato is pulpy. The okra will pass thru a stage where it is a little slimy but keep on – once the okra is tender and the caramelized onion has formed a sauce with the tomato, the slime will be gone. Now that the okra is cooked, salt to taste – if you add salt when you put the okra in, it will draw out the slime, so wait til it is cooked thru and off the heat. You can add another 1/2 tsp garam masala at the end, too, and do sprinkle on some fresh chopped cilantro. This is fabulous. Tender, satisfying, and a delicious accompaniment to any Indian style meal or to roast pork.
There are dozens of slightly varying recipes for Bhindi Masala on the net. Some of them call for simply frying the okra in ghee first before constructing the dish, as a way of preventing any slimness. That can make the dish incredibly rich. (No harm in that IMHO.) I like to try various different ones from time to time. I add a couple of tbsp Besan (gram flour) to this dish occasionally too (add a little more ghee if you try that). This dish is easy to make and cooks up quickly. I could eat it as the main course of a meal with some basmati rice or a couple of good chapatti or parathas. I'm drooling just thinking about it! One reason I love this so much is my mother use to stew okra and tomatoes with some onion and flavor it with a little cinnamon – just a hint. Served as a side dish with other good classic southern cooking it is sooo good, my father and I used to fight over the last portion, not knowing at the time my mom had already put up a portion in the fridge for herself to snack on after everyone else had gone to bed. The garam masala in this dish reminds me of the cinnamon my mom used. Gosh we loved that stuff!!
I hope others will be encouraged to look up Bhindi masala and try a recipe they find interesting. It's fast, easy to prepare, and delicious, and best of all very nutritious. It's a great introduction to Indian cooking too. Just watch how much butter/ghee you put in. It makes the dish rich and gives it a luscious mouth feel but of course adds on the calories quickly.
The first time I had fried okra, I was sick to my stomach. Not because it was terrible, but because I grew up on okra a completely different way than the Southern US. Mom's okra. My mother is a phenomenal cook (chef really). Hailing from Salle, Morocco and born in the 1960s, it was ingrained in their culture to teach women how to cook and reveal centuries of trade secrets. My mother learned these sacred recipes and at the same time was treated to the latest fashions during her youth and teens, as well as the best education and freedom of choice in her life. To this day, her okra is cooked in an authentic clay cuisine pot with a piece of beef from her favorite butcher (mom and my aunt have been driving an hour to this butcher since I was 8 years old) potatoes, okra, saffron, cumin, parsley, special ingredients and simmered for hours. Exquisite. The okra is soft, a bit gooey, and full flavor from the broth. When eaten with pita bread the okra spreads apart onto the meat and potatoes giving it a texture and taste that is only experienced in this dish. Mom's Moroccan okra dish is a force to be recon with. I invite any food critic to come over for dinner anytime!! There is more where that came from……you have no idea…
Try frying it with little cubes of potatoes, the red ones are best. I just dust with Morrison's cornbread mix instead of battering. Also add strips of onion sometimes. One of my favorites.
First ran into okra in Boot Camp. it was the only thing I would not eat, no matter how hungry I was. tried fried okra at a Cajun chicken franchise near Cleveland, OH, and was surprised, but still didn't buy. That early mindset is just too powerful. I guess it's like NASCAR: just too repulsive.
I like it lightly steamed and then sauted in garlic and olive oil with grape tomatoes. Gorgeous and very yummy. :o)
and not slimey. :o)
Boiled with some butter and salt is my favorite. Just don't cook it until the pods open. My mom has recently started steaming it, which gives you the boiled texture without the slime.
Slice it, stir fry it in olive oil with other veggies from the garden, then pour whipped egg over it to make a veggie omelet. It was delicious!
Cut in large slices and stir fried with other vegetables
I'm a Midwesterner but I'm weird, I like spicy food. I've never had okra outside a gumbo, and it's great in gumbo.
In deep South Texas that's about all you can grow in the middle of summer!!!! The stuff loves heat !! I like it fried and pickled and haven't grown it in years!!!
Yep, at this point, it's the only greenery we've got left in the garden here in Austin. Everything else, tomatoes included, have given up the ghost, but please believe the okra is out here going to town like it's nothing.
Nothing like Indian curry with fish or meat!
Most do not eat it raw but it's good! try it!...
I've spent many summers cutting okra to be "canned" for the winter with my grandmother. It is one of my favorite memories of her. Stewed okra, tomatoes, shrimp and chicken is my all time favorite meal but only when done right....especially if it is done by MA!
Fried, Gumbo'd or pickled is just fine. i may have to try the grill thing.
This Southern girl loves her okra ("okrie") fried, but I came across whole okra pods that were dehydrated. They were very crispy/crunchy without the fat of being layered in cornmeal and fried with oil. Just an option you might want to check into. I found the dehydrated okra in a Mennonite owned store in a small Arkansas town, but an investment in a dehydrator might be in order!
Were they cooked before dehydrating, cooked after dehydrating, or eaten raw? I am intrigued.
My mom used to make okra, corn & tomatoes in the summer. She used corn off the cob and the crunch of the fresh corn, with taste of the slightly mushy okra and the tomatoes was so good. Only thing better was the fried corn (what some would call creamed corn) she made. This reminds me that i should see if she remembers her recipes !
My favorite way to eat okra is to cut the tops off few fresh pods and boil them in a pot with fresh picked Purple Hull Peas. Nothing finer. It's a southern tradition. Fresh okra also makes, fresh from the garden, vegetable soup have that extra good taste.
I am growing purple hulled peas and okra (for the first time–northern variety) in my Maine garden. The okra is doing well–can't wait! I love it stewed and fried. :)
I like it when you turn off your fuquing caps lock, tard.
Bhindi Masala! Onions, spices and okra...yummm...
I saute it with olive oil and sea salt and fresh chopped garlis YUMMY

Games I'm interested in, to varying degrees, shown at E3 2012. Currently in no particular order.
10/03/13 Filled in some stuff
Might play the first one first.
Got it free on PS3 with PSPlus. I'll try it out soon.
Don't care about football anymore, though the games can be entertaining. I could have got this with my PS3 bundle, but went with Need for Speed: Most Wanted instead.
Just played through this, really good, but really weird.
Got it; it's great.
Got it, it's pretty good.
Still looking forward to this - hope the THQ situation didn't damage it too much.
It's Call of Duty. I'm just not interested in playing them anymore.
Hopefully this series can go on without THQ. Still looking forward to playing this.
Got it, not bad, but not my favourite Assassin's Creed game.
Got it, pretty good.
Was poorly reviewed, not interested anymore.
Got it, there was some controversy, but I enjoyed it nonetheless - a worthy entry in the series.
Got it, amazing!
Got it, an amazing reboot.
Got it, haven't played it yet.
Got it, phenomenal!
Thinking of getting sometime, Burnout Paradise was amazing; and this seems more like it than its namesake.
10/03/13: Got it with my PS3 bundle, and started playing it.
Is apparently a big let-down.
10/03/13: While it's not want I want from Resident Evil, it might be an alright game in its own right - I may pick it up when it's cheap on PC.
Not very interested in the Wii U now - and this doesn't seem like the best Mario game.
Never played a Pikmin game, maybe I'll pick it up one day if I get a Wii U - I wouldn't say no to trying the earlier Pikmin games.
No longer Wii U exclusive, so I'll probably get it for something else.
Perhaps the Wii U's primary system selling software, though it's divided critics - not sure how interested I am.
Still waiting for the belated European release.
10/03/13: I'll pick it up on PC when it's cheap enough - should be a fun game, I've got a Scribblenauts game, but I've never played it.
The Quick Look's just gone up - doesn't look exceptional, but I'll look into it a bit, there aren't too many great 3DS games.
Seems pretty good, expecting to get it eventually.
I have a PS3 now, and I've enjoyed a Sly Cooper game before - maybe I'll get this one sometime.
Looks pretty interesting, more so than Uncharted to me.
Seems at least worth a play.
I'd forgotten about this one, now that I've got a PS3 I'll probably buy it soon.
Got it, seems pretty good.
Don't even want to get involved - maybe if I buy it in some months people will have calmed down about it.
Got it, a good game, but strategy isn't my forte.

tire carrier need help
Hey guys/ girls I'm in need of a new tire carrier. Here's the story. I have a smitty built (scr)? rear bumper. I finally got a matching spare rim and I want to put it on but I only have like 1 inch of spare room with the old stock tire and I'm going with 31/1050/15 and I don't think I will have room then..... . . So does anyone suggest a tire carrier like just the little upgrade thing for the old spare one or should I just save up and buy the swing out tire carrier and get someone to weld it to the bumper.
Thanks |
Mounting anything larger than the stock tire & wheel combo will eventually lead to a saggy tail gate. A swing out one would be best. I do how ever like the OR-Fab and TnT carriers. They mount to the body instead of a bumper.

Multiple Render Targets, Multiple Fragment Shaders
Yep for the second pass I use a vertex shader that simply passes the texture coordinates gl_Position = vec4(vertexPosition_modelspace,1); UV = (vertexPosition_modelspace.xy+vec2(1,1))/2.0; And I extract edges in the second fragment shader. It gives me the image I want! Its just that I want to do further processing with that image and need very fast read/write operation. I just started with shader programming and I have to adapt to that OpenGL/GLSL way of having a context and a geometry and so on ... thanks anyways, problem solved so far ;) |

Multiple Render Targets, Multiple Fragment Shaders
Hey, thanks for your answer. The fullscreen quad worked. I can now display both (normal and depth) textures on the fullscreen quad. But actually thats not what I want. I'd like to extract information (like edges) from both textures and read these information with cuda from the resulting texture. If I draw the fullscreen quad I have to use glBindFramebuffer(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, 0); which significantly slows down the rendering. Is it impossible to use layout(location = 2) out vec3 color; in the second fragment shader and to render to that third texture? |

The Child Mind BlogBrainstorm
Special Needs Parents vs...Patent Law?
June 21, 2012 Harry KimballParents of a nonverbal four-year-old with developmental delays have had a very painful lesson in patent law recently. First, the background: an iPad app called "Speak for Yourself" enables their daughter Maya to speak to them for the first time in her life.
"We are hanging on her every word." her mother blogged. "We've learned that she loves talking about the days of the week, is weirdly interested in the weather, and likes to pretend that her toy princesses are driving the bus to school (sometimes) and to work (other times). This app has not only allowed her to communicate her needs, but her thoughts as well. It's given us the gift of getting to know our child on a totally different level."
The trouble is that the upstart developers of Speak for Yourself, a couple of speech pathologists, are being sued by a more established firm, the Prentke Romich Company, for patent infringement. The Speak for Yourself app isn't cheap, at $300, but it is much, much more affordable than the four-or-five-figure dedicated hardware the Pretke Romich sells for what is called alternative and augmentative communication (AAC). Speak for Yourself is also very, very similar in function to the hardware Prentke Romich sells, according to the suit. Though it hasn't worked its way through the courts yet, Apple pulled Speak for Yourself from the App Store last week, according to Disability Scoop and Ars Technica.
Maya's mom, Dana Nieder, describes on her blog how her family tried many different communication methods for Maya, including Pretke Romich products, before finally finding success with Speak for Yourself. Now she's terrified that the lawsuit might rob her daughter of a very important, if not all-important, tool. Nieder now has two iPads loaded with the offending program on airplane-mode-lockdown, worried that it might go missing into cyberspace.
Prentke Romich may have legitimate claims against Speak for Yourself. And Apple has reserved all sorts of rights to summarily pull things from the App Store. But as far as I know they've involved things like racy picture apps, not a device critical to the well-being of people with communication deficits. This is a different ballpark, and I have to assume the parties are hard at work on a resolution to avoid the suffering, not to speak of the backlash, that will result if these businesses don't figure out a way to work together.
Neider will be making as loud a noise as she can to see that that happens. "The fact that my daughter's ability to speak is becoming a casualty of a patent battle between two businesses is beyond my comprehension," she writes on her blog.
Emma Stone Controls Panic by Baking
June 19, 2012 Jessica WakemanGearing up for the release of The Amazing Spiderman, Emma Stone is making the media rounds. The gregarious and animated comedic actress revealed in the July issue of Vogue that while filming, she came up with a creative way to counter-balance panic attacks that she has experienced since the age of eight.
Stone, 23, spoke in detail about feelings of isolation that the fear of an attack can produce in a child. "I was just kind of immobilized by it," she said. "I didn't want to go to my friends' houses or hang out with anybody, and nobody really understood."
She started therapy and at age 11 found that her best coping method was acting or, more specifically, improv comedy. She said it taught her to roll with the punches and helped her see that, "failure is the same as success when it comes to comedy because it just keeps coming. It never stops."
It takes courage to act, be spontaneous and funny in front of an audience and critics. It also takes courage to meet panic attacks face to face and to move past the building anxiety, to tolerate it until it fades.
Stone joked about using baking in order to sustain a feeling of control while she was filming the next Spiderman installment:
"I think I felt really out of control of my surroundings. I was just baking all the time. There were stacks of things in the kitchen that nobody could possibly go through. It seemed like it made me feel, if I put these in, I'll know what the outcome is ... I was overbaking."
It is great to see a young actress acknowledge the liberating role performing plays for so many people wrestling with anxiety, and feeling comfortable sharing her own quirky strategies for managing it. She may have felt alone as a kid, but she's not any more.

Mets Consider Adding Quiet Section for Fans with Autism
June 19, 2012 Rachel EhmkeHow about those Mets? We recently learned that the team with centerfielder and ADHD role model Andres Torres is considering adding a quiet section in the stands at Citi Field for kids with autism and their families. The Mets first began shopping the idea in an email survey, describing the area as a "designated quiet seating section with lower volume PA announcements and no music or cheerleading."
Many people on the autism spectrum have sensory processing issues, making them especially sensitive to loud noises and other kinds of overstimulation that are common in most live entertainment. Citi Field is the first ballpark we've heard of offering special seating arrangements, although other teams including the Mets are already hosting Autism Awareness days.
If the team moves forward with their plans they'll be joining Broadway and AMC Theatres, who are already offering special performances designed for audiences with sensory processing issues. To learn more about these shows, check out our first person account from one mom who attended a special autism-friendly performance of the Lion King on Broadway with her kids.

Harvard/Autism Speaks Brain Bank Compromised
June 12, 2012 Harry KimballIt is a common lament in autism circles that research is presently inadequate and not accelerating at anywhere near the pace of, say, the prevalence of the disorder. (In just the last couple of months we've gone from 1 in 110 to 1 in 88, according to the CDC.) And so it is devastating to hear when a major resource is compromised, as appears to have happened about two weeks ago when more than 50 brains taken from deceased young people with autism were damaged in a freezer mishap, the Boston Globe reports. The specimens were part of Autism Speaks' Autism Tissue Program, housed at the Harvard Brain Tissue Resource Center.
Apparently, an administrator checked on the particular freezer unit—which also housed brains of people who had had Alzheimer's, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia—in late May. Although the thermostat read out an acceptable temperature, and no alarms had sounded, when he entered the unit it was about as cold as your standard refrigerator—not nearly cold enough to preserve the brains. Researchers don't yet know what they can salvage and of what use it will be, but suffice it to say that the largest collection of autism brains in the world has been reduced by a third. One researcher says the loss could put research efforts back 10 years.
Even Landon Bryce, a steadfast antagonist of Autism Speaks and foe to any research that smacks of a "cure" for autism, noted the loss of the resource without editorializing. He added, darkly, that "officials have not ruled out the possibility that this was a deliberate criminal act." Though an investigation may be undertaken, some researchers in the field think an unfortunate accident is the more likely culprit. "I think this is just one of those glitches that sometimes happen,'' a brain scientist tells the Globe.
Now, this loss may turn out to be a real blow to the current state of autism research—but it also illustrates just how far we have come. Foul play or malfunctioning freezer units aside, this incident gives us insight into a coordinated research effort that teams a leading advocacy organization with a top-tier research university and federal funding. We see families affected by autism and other psychiatric and neurological disorders eager to turn their own personal tragedies into opportunities for others. It is sad that something went terribly wrong, but at least it happened in the context of things being done so right.
"The donors, they should be upset, they should realize that this shouldn't happen," another scientist tells the Globe. "But this shouldn't dissuade people from continuing to donate, because it is the most important resource that autism science has right now."

Abusing Adderall to Get Ahead
June 12, 2012 Rachel EhmkeIf the New York Times' disturbing Horace Mann investigation wasn't enough to turn you into a helicopter parent, over the weekend the paper also published a story about stimulant abuse happening at high schools across the country. We don't really know the extent of this abuse, since monitoring agencies report markedly lower numbers than anecdotes would suggest, but the story isn't anything new—students have been abusing stimulants purchased from a dealer or borrowed from a friend for decades now in hopes of improving their GPA. But this abuse does seem to be becoming increasingly common and even expected for students in some high-pressure environments.
Our first order of business here should be to emphasize the enormous difference between talking a prescription medication prescribed for a legitimate disorder and taking a prescription medication like it is a performance enhancing academic steroid. The two are not the same. And while the article suggests that stimulants might lead to future drug abuse, this simply isn't true for the kids who are using stimulants to treat their ADHD. In fact, these kids are less likely to abuse drugs because they don't feel the need to self-medicate with other substances when they are experiencing the stabilizing effects of their prescription. There's good research supporting this.
It's also important to clarify that Adderall and other stimulants are not actually "good-grade pills," as they're being called in the Times headline. Adderall will not give you good grades; Adderall will not make you smarter. Abusing Adderall might make you stay up for a really long time and think you are writing an awesome essay, but, as any English teacher will tell you, thinking you've written an awesome essay and actually doing it are two very different things. Even some parents seem confused over this. One primary care physician told the Times that many parents push for unnecessary prescriptions, saying, "My child is not doing well in school. I understand there are meds he can take to make him smarter."
That some parents don't seem to know the risks of encouraging their children to abuse a Class 2 controlled substance is alarming. That some doctors are aiding in the abuse is even worse. Several teens in the article described how easy it was for them to game the system and find a doctor willing to write prescriptions without first evaluating them for a real disorder. This isn't acceptable. Doctors have the responsibility to be better informed and take more time with their patients, and parents need to make sure they are getting good medical advice from a conscientious doctor who knows his stuff. A diagnosis should never be blindly given or accepted.
That isn't our only takeaway from the article, though. It is clear that our expectations need to be changed if we are creating an academic environment where teens are expected to stay up all night cramming facts like Mark McGwire hitting homers. Parents and schools can both play a role here. Douglas Young, a spokesman for a school outside Philadelphia, told the Times:
It's time for a serious wake-up call. Straight A's and high SAT scores look great on paper, but they aren't reflective measures of a student's health and well-being. We need to better understand the pressures and temptations, and ultimately we need to embrace new definitions of student success. For many families and communities, that's simply not happening.
Parents supporting their teens and encouraging healthy academic expectations can go a long way to changing this, but it won't always be enough. Too many high schools are pressure cookers, encouraging students to spend years working on their college applications. And the truth is that many of the kids abusing stimulants would be trying to stay up all night anyway; Adderall just makes it easier.

Is Imaging Safe for Kids?
June 7, 2012 Harry KimballThe Wall Street Journal today reports on a paper in the medical journal Lancet with some alarming results: people who receive multiple CAT scans of the head in their earlier years are 3 times more likely to develop various cancers, including leukemia and brain cancer. According to the study, just 2 CAT, or CT, scans can dramatically increase the brain cancer risk, while it takes quite a few—5 to 10—to tip the odds when it comes to leukemia. So...no more CT scans for kids, right?
Wrong, for a variety of reasons. The actual incidence of these cancers is still low. The study, which looked at 10 years of British data, found that CT scans likely contribute to one new case of brain cancer in 10,000 people over the course of the decade. But there is another reason, one that we run into all of the time in the field of child mental health: the risk to reward ratio. When discussing treatment options, we often say, "There is a certain risk to treatment, but there is also a risk to not treating." The same is true in this diagnostic situation. As Shirley Wang writes in the Journal, "the immediate benefits of the scans, such as in detecting head injuries, still outweigh the risks."
There is another lesson to be learned here, one that depends on another kind of imaging technology, MRI. Magnetic resonance imaging can in some cases be a substitute for CT scans—but it is also widely used as the preferred tool of the neuroimaging research the Child Mind Institute is working to coordinate and promote around the world. MRI does not use ionizing radiation and thus poses no cancer risk. So, if a competent doctor recommends a CT scan for a child after an accident, or in the course of diagnosis, chances are the benefits outweigh any increased cancer risk. And an MRI your child has, perhaps during the course of contributing to our understanding of brain science, poses no cancer risk at all.

Facebook for Tots?
June 4, 2012 Harry KimballThe Wall Street Journal reports today that Facebook appears to be considering changes in its age restriction policy with an eye to letting previously excluded under-13-year-olds sign up for a (supervised) account. This isn't opening the floodgates, as it were—it is a response to the online reality that 7.5 million kids under 13 are already on the site, albeit under false pretenses (and often aided and abetted by their parents).
In the Journal, Anton Troianovski and Shayndi Rice write that the social networking giant is testing ways of "connecting children's accounts to their parents' and controls that would allow parents to decide whom their kids can 'friend' and what applications they can use." Oh, and of course, a mechanism for "Facebook and its partners to charge parents for games and other entertainment accessed by their children."
Although the changes are by no means a sure thing, many of these kids are already on Facebook, operating in a world of more "adult" privacy settings even if their parents are close by providing guidance. So what's the harm in granting some sort of "amnesty" to these "illegal aliens" of the Web 2.0 world? You might stand on principle, as Common Sense Media chief James Styer does. "We don't have the proper science and social research to evaluate the potential pros and cons that social-media platforms are doing to teenagers," he tells the Journal, not to mention the tweenage set (or younger!) "The idea that you would go after this segment of the audience when there are concerns about the current audience is mind boggling."
OK, but isn't that naïve? So says Larry Magid, more of a digital pragmatist, who commented on the story over at the Huffington Post.
Whether we like it or not, millions of children are using Facebook, and since there doesn't seem to be a universally effective way to get them off the service, the best and safest strategy would be to provide younger children with a safe, secure and private experience that allows them to interact with verified friends and family members without having to lie about their age.
As you can see, there are good arguments on both sides of this issue. But even if Magid is right, and the wall Styer seems to want to build is an impossible dream, it does mean that families have no option but to submit. I am sure parents will welcome new ways to monitor their children's experiences online. But the same parents would also do well to make sure there are experiences offline to monitor, too. That's just good, even necessary, for kids—particularly the young kids who appear to be entering the fray.
In the end, however, there is the bottom line to think about, and it's hard to stand in the way of those sorts of thoughts. In the past, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has been incredibly ambivalent about peddling his wares to kids under 13 because of the hassles posed by numerous federal statutes. But there is money to be made from young users, so apparently his company is ready to take the pre-teen plunge.

Resilience: Making Kids Sesame Street Strong
May 31, 2012 Harry KimballThe Sesame Workshop just launched a new online "Tool Kit" that aims to help parents foster resilience in young kids no matter what they face, called Little Kids, Big Challenges. The Child Mind Institute was on hand at a Sesame Street gala in New York last night. (That's CMI president Dr. Harold Koplewicz below, with, I believe, Oscar the Grouch.)
This is a great tool for parents of kids who have experienced any sort of disruption, from a move to the loss of a parent. But what really strikes me is how helping children with any challenge, or helping them develop any life skill, is all about communication, about conversation, and about cooperation. The tool kit, which I hope will grow in scope, includes simple activities designed to encourage kids to think about themselves—"How Am I Feeling?"—at the same time that they communicate this information. And it helps them visually understand their support network and the catalog of things they can and have done outside of their comfort zones. (This exercise, called "New Things Tree," is familiar to me from talking to Dr. Jerry Bubrick about treatments for separation anxiety disorder.)
Over on the Sesame Workshop blog, they lay out ambitious goals for the initiative, particularly since it is aimed at 2- to 5-year-olds. "Learning from mistakes; making new friends; resolving conflicts: these are the kinds of early childhood struggles with which Little Children, Big Challenges will help young kids cope." We like to say that kids under 8 are "more B than A;" that is, they respond much better to behavioral approaches than to cognitive ones. And learning from mistakes and resolving conflict are skills that elude many much, much older people. But if we can engage kids early with these tools and boost the resilience required to deal with life's challenges and come out a better person, why not? Best of luck, Sesame Workshop. Now, can you tell me how to get to Sesame Street?

The Mets' Andres Torres: Living and Succeeding With ADHD
May 25, 2012 Harry KimballYesterday a colleague and I hopped on the 7 train in New York to head out to Citi Field, where the Mets play, and speak for a moment with Andrés Torres, a centerfielder who also happens to have ADHD. A movie is coming out soon, called Gigante, about Torres' life and ascent to the major leagues, which included a battle with poverty as well as with ADHD. In fact, even after he was diagnosed and prescribed medication, he waited years to take it regularly. That's when his life came together.
Amazingly, I thought, he told me that his colleagues in the MLB were all supportive of him as he went about his life with ADHD. "They're OK," he said. "I am who I am, I respect them," and in return "they respect me, they support me, and that's a good thing." And Torres is a sterling role model for kids with ADHD—or really any psychiatric or learning disorder—telling them, in essence, to accept who they are even as they accept the need for ongoing treatment. And to expect to succeed.
Of course, Torres' outlook and the tolerant attitudes of his teammates are not par for the course. While on the 7 train I thought of another ballplayer, the former Atlanta Braves pitcher John Rocker. In 2000 he said this to a reporter, about how he could not possibly play for a New York team:
Imagine having to take the 7 train to the ballpark looking like you're riding through Beirut next to some kid with purple hair, next to some queer with AIDS, right next to some dude who just got out of jail for the fourth time, right next to some 20-year-old mom with four kids. It's depressing...The biggest thing I don't like about New York are the foreigners. You can walk an entire block in Times Square and not hear anybody speaking English.
From the clip below, you can tell that Andrés Torres speaks English, but it's not his first language. However, from meeting him just once, I'm happy to say I'd be just fine sitting next to a role model like him on the 7 train. Here's to a future where people feel more like that, and less like John Rocker.
Check back soon for a feature story on Torres and Gigante.

Your Safety
WATER SAFETY ϑ Always wear a properly fitted, Coast Guard-approved life jacket while boating, swimming, wading, or tubing on the river. ϑ Guard against hypothermia by wearing protective clothing when the water is cold. Even in late spring when the air temperature is warm, the water is still frigid. Wear a wetsuit or clothing made of wool or polypropylene. ϑ If you go on the river, you should know how to swim. ϑ Never canoe alone. A minimum of two canoes is recommended. Stay in view, but keep a safe distance between canoes. I ϑ If you capsize, keep upstream from the craft. If you must leave your canoe, float with your feet pointed downstream and near the surface, to cushion yourself against large rocks and to prevent a foot or leg from getting caught on submerged branches or between rocks. ϑ Carry a throw line and first aid kit with you. ϑ Do not drink alcoholic beverages before or during boating. Alcohol consumption and drug abuse have contributed to many drownings. ϑ Guard against sunburn with sunscreens and appropriate clothing. |
