The more I read about giftedness, the more I see tics mentioned. This gives me some relief as dd has some facial tics and some days they are worse than others.
If your child also experiences this would you mind sharing?
Sponsored Links | |||
I don't have any children yet, but maybe my experience could help. I was a gifted child, and I've been learning a lot about some of the strange things I went through in my youth, by reading links moms have posted here. It's been a real eye-opener.
Anyways, my mother says that when I was a little baby, sleeping in a crib, I had facial tics. I think she said that I used to schrunch
my nose, and also kind of obsessively graze my blanket across my face. I think she said it was like I was obsessively smelling it? The good news is, those seemed to go away. I don't think I had any tics as a toddler or young kid. Then I remember getting the urge to schrunch together my eyebrows (kind of like furrowing your brow, but repeatedly), when I was probably 13 or 14. That was a phase and went away too, and was never so bad that it was super-embarrassing. It would come and go.
I think tics are also somehow related to OCD (like they are linked on a gene, etc ). When I was 4/5 y.o., I had full-blown OCD, so watch out for signs of that in your child too. OCD is also much more common in people with high IQ, so I have read. Like the tics, it tended to surface, then go away on it's own, then come back later in life, though most of the time, it's in a very mild state (but it has flared). Right now, I am only dealing with minor OCD symptoms that I don't feel I need medication for. And I haven't had tics since probably middle school (so it's been well over 10 years).
This is considered not necessarily mainstream, but I don't rule out it the whole PANDAS thing. It's basically saying that strep or another infection in the brain causes these symptoms. You could try a trial run of antibiotics, if you feel it's appropriate. However, I don't think longterm antibiotics are that great of an idea.
If I had my guess, I'd give equal credibility to the theory that it's just genetics, perhaps activated by something we can't control.....and equal credibility to the theory that these symptoms can be treated with the PANDAS model (though don't get sucked into antibiotics longterm, my two cents). Just trying to keep you aware of all the different viewpoints here. I took longterm antibiotics for something else, and it's hard to tell if my OCD was helped by the antibiotics.
From my perspective, it seems like a lot of psych issues are related to giftedness, and tics seem to be lumped in that category too, because my understanding is that the tic itself originates in the brain....and isn't like a muscle twitch.
I guess it depends how long the tics have been there with your little one. I can't imagine my phases with tics lasted any longer than a year each time, and it never was that huge of a deal for me.
my dd has tics as well. I'm interested in hearing responses. We've done a lot to bring the intensity down, but I'd like to hear more about this aspect.
Ds has 'tics' or 'stims', I'm not quite sure. He's got sensory issues and I think they're related somehow, perhaps. They come and go. They were really bad when he was 7, and have calmed down a bit now. I actually made a video to show to a developmental psychologist when we had ds assessed at 7 (T's tics). They seem to happen more often in the spring/summer and then calm down in the winter. He's moved from putting his hands in front of his eyes (shown in the video) to clicking his jaw (he'll kind of open his mouth and then click it back -- hard to describe). Some days he'll do it a lot, and others not at all (or so little I can't see it.) He seems largely unaware of these and can control them if he thinks about it, but doesn't usually. So far, it has embarrassed him and has causes minimal disruption, so our strategy is to ignore it.
He also has episodes of hair twisting, where he does it so much that sometimes he'll create a bald patch. Again, that's much worse in the spring/summer. He usually does it while he's reading or distracted, so it's not conscious. It's bordering on trichotillomania, but hasn't gotten bad enough to need treatment.
Because of the seasonal aspect of it, I'm going to have him checked for allergies if it starts getting bad in the spring.
DS has tics. He twirls the hair at the top of his head, and sometimes flaps his hands a little. When he was younger, he used to chew on his shirt collar or sleeve (drove me nuts!) It's always something though. I don't know how gifted he is ~ he's definitely "smart" and a little "quirky", but he has not been tested.
My son had a bad stutter until he was 3 almost 4. Literally one day it stopped and tics started. I am not sure if tics are the right name but it will be licking his lip a certain way or grabbing his crotch a certain way or making a weird noise over and over or.... you get the drift. I don't think he realizes it and when we get him to stop he just starts something else. I would love to hear about others and how they deal with it. He is in school for the first time this year and he is in full day Kindergarten. The only tic he has had all year is licking. Mainly it is his lips but he will lick lots of strange things as well. It isn't a problem at school and he is doing great at school.
Chewing shirts, fingers and hair - check. Running thumb along face, again and again. Stuttering. Rubbing fingers together. Whistling - repeatedly and for long periods.
All these come and go. They don't mean he is under stress. The stress ones are weirder - rubbing my body for example. These are just filling in the "doodling" spaces when he can't doodle.
my dd's most obvious one is an explosive cough that is definitely worse under stress. She is in her second year of school and doing fabulously. It's a fairly intense academic program and I was quite nervous about whether or not she'd handle it, but she's exceeded all expectations.
My dd (now age 8) started having tics at around age 6, I think. She was diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome this summer.
Lisa, if you have any other information I'd love it. When did they decide to formally diagnose? DS has had vocal tics (on and off) since before he was 4. The last time we really discussed them with a doctor (spring 2009) we were reassured because he had never had physical tics which they said would make a Tourettes diagnosis more likely (to have *both* verbal & physical tics). Unfortunately, this year we have seen some physical tics showing up (blinking) but they didn't stay very long (weeks rather than months/years). We'll obviously discuss it with his doctor when we go in next, if you have some words of wisdom, though, I'd appreciate it!

Sure... A TS diagnosis requires both motor and vocal tics. They don't have to be present at the same time, and the tics do wax and wane (they often come and go without any rhyme or reason). Stress and excitement can exacerbate the tics. The tics must be present for at least a year, though there may be tic-free periods (not exceeding three months). The Tourette Syndrome Association has a huge amount of helpful information.
My dd was seeing a psychologist for an animal phobia, and he noticed some tics at the same time that our dd's gymnastics coach did (though the coach didn't know that's what they were). The psychologist offered to run us through the diagnostic criteria for TS, and we had him do that. After that, we went to a specialist just to confirm (and also to establish care--it takes months to get a first appointment with a TS specialist).
I did a lot of research on TS when we first realized that's what was going on with DD... It's typical course is to appear between 6 and 10. The tics will typically get worse (in frequency and duration) up through puberty (though even then there may be tic-free periods). After that, they decline for most people. There are a number of drug treatments, but all of them have pretty horrendous side effects. Cognitive behavioral therapy can be helpful. At the moment, we aren't pursuing any treatment at all. DD's tics are more annoying than anything else (according to her), and they haven't interfered with what she wants to do yet.
As another poster mentioned (I think), obsessive compulsive disorder is closely related to TS, so it's a good idea to know about that (to see if you detect any early indications of OCD before it gets too bad). OCD is more commonly observed in females than in males, though.
TS is a neurological condition with a strong genetic component. You may want to ask around in your families to see if any relatives had tics (or odd behaviors) when they were children. We realized that my husband has TS, though his tics were attributed to a food allergy when he was a kid.
My toddler is screaming at me to come out, so I'll stop there. I'd be happy to chat more if you want to talk more on this thread (or you can PM me). I hope that this helps a little!

The computer hacking group, Anonymous, on Tuesday claimed that it had launched a series of attacks on the U.K. Government websites, including those of Downing Street and the Home Office, to protest against its reported threat to storm the Ecuadorian embassy here after stripping it of its diplomatic status and seize WikiLeaks chief Julian Assange.
Mr. Assange has been holed up inside the small mission for more than two months to escape extradition to Sweden over sexual assault allegations.
Last week, he was granted asylum by Ecuador but Britain has refused to give him safe passage arguing that that it is under "obligation'' to extradite him as he has exhausted all legal options.
The government denied it had any plans to send police into the embassy but warned that Mr. Assange would be arrested the moment he came out.
"Anonymous'' announced the attacks over Twitter using the hashtag #OpFreeAssange .
A statement on its website said: "We will not abandon Julian Assange nor will we abandon the cause of WikiLeaks. Telling the truth is not a crime. Whistleblowers and hacktivists are not criminals.''
The Ministry of Justice reported "some disruption" to its website after being attacked on Monday but said it was a public information website and held "no sensitive data''.
Ecuadorean President Rafael Correa warned that any attempt to storm his country's embassy would be "suicide for Great Britain because then people could enter their diplomatic premises all around the world and they wouldn't be able to say a thing".
Meanwhile, women's groups attacked Respect party MP George Galloway for saying that Mr. Assange was accused of nothing more than "bad sexual etiquette''.

We're told that one of the benefits of private accounts is that they'll earn you higher returns on your investment than a public plan. But once the commissions of fund managers are taken out, the returns on investment in the Chilean system are not higher than average. Over the long term, leading up to retirement and subtracting the fees retained by the money managers, the returns are in the range of 4.5 to 6.5 per cent per year.
We're also told that another benefit of multiple private plans is that money managers will compete with one another to attract customers. As it happens, there are very few firms managing pension accounts in Chile, and they mostly charge very similar fees. These fees are set as a percentage of the amount invested, and the firms have to charge all investors the same percentage rate. That means firms do best by getting large contributions from investors. So rather than offering lower rates to attract customers, most managers try to increase their profits by attracting funds from workers with higher, more stable incomes.
When the new scheme was introduced, the Chilean government made some arrangements to ease the transition. For example, it guaranteed a minimum pension to low-income workers who had contributed to the existing system for at least twenty years. It paid for the minimum pension out of regular taxes. It also introduced a means-tested "welfare" pension for the poor elderly, amounting to about half the minimum guaranteed pension and also paid for out of taxes. Later it converted these anti-poverty measures into a basic, universal pension.
In Chile – and more and more in Canada – a significant number of workers do not have regular, formal employment. Some are self-employed, and many are employed irregularly or in informal situations without secure wages or hours of work. What does the Chilean model provide for them?
Those who are self-employed, or who are outside the formal labour market, can contribute to a separate voluntary system. Those who are regularly employed and make the 10 per cent contribution to the mandatory system may make additional contributions, if they are able and willing, to this voluntary system as well. The number of firms managing voluntary pensions is greater than the number in the mandatory sector, so there's somewhat more competition for customers. Still, the voluntary contributions come mainly from better-off workers. As with Registered Retirement Savings Plans in Canada, the tax benefit is greater for higher-income workers, and those workers obviously have more disposable income to invest.
The Chilean system has some aspects that are not so different from the current Canadian system. Where it does differ from the Canadian system, it creates problems that make it less attractive in meeting the goals of a good retirement income program.
In what way is the Chilean system like our Canadian one? First, the mandatory accounts are similar to the Canada Pension Plan, except that there are no mandatory contributions from employers. And the accounts are separate and privately managed. Second, the original minimum guaranteed pension had a function like the Old Age Security pension, except that it was available only to those who had paid into the pension system. Third, the means-tested welfare pension was like the Guaranteed Income Supplement, available to those with extremely low income, regardless of work experience.
How does the Chilean model differ from our system? First, the accounts, though heavily regulated and managed by very few firms, are invested by private companies who charge a significant administrative fee for their services. Second, pensions are not adjusted to account for years spent out of the labour force (while raising children, for example, or improving your education). Money managers charge high fees, and unemployment weakens pension accounts. Therefore the Chilean system – at least as it was originally designed – did not prevent high levels of poverty among the elderly.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Michael Widom
Professor, Physics
Ph.D., University of ChicagoResearch
Professor Widom's research focuses on theoretical modeling of novel materials in condensed matter and biological physics settings. Methods of statistical mechanics, quantum mechanics and computer simulation are used to investigate structure, stability and properties of these materials.
Metals in noncrystalline (nonperiodic) structures are a major focus of effort, including: Liquid metals, for example the liquid-liquid transition in supercooled silicon); Metallic glass es, which are multi-component alloys that freeze into a solid while maintaining a liquid-like structure; Quasicrystals, which are partially ordered and highly symmetric structures that are spatially quasiperiodic. These problems are addressed using first-principles total energy calculation coupled with statistical mechanics to model entire ensembles of probable structures.
Biological physics is the second major focus, including two specific projects. Virus capsids are highly symmetric protein shells that protect the viral genome. Methods of continuum mechanics and symmetry analysis are applied to identify soft modes of deformation. The RNA molecule plays many roles at the heart of gene expression, some of which such as microRNAs and riboswitches have only recently been discovered. A characteristic feature of RNA is its highly convoluted secondary structure, which are analyzed from both thermodynamic and kinetic points of view.

Invisible wall I had like 7000-8000 meter hit but ball suddenly stopped add 7000 meter hitted some object what i cant see but fix dat and u get 5 stars
High score cannot be higher Every time I can't get past 6500+ without it suddenly stops. Needs to be foxed for 5 stars

7000+m glitch I used to play this game all the time when it launched. I've recently downloaded again and it's still fun, but I consistently get stopped at 7000 m mark. My ball will travel that far before touching the ground, then suddenly stop within 7100-7200m and bounce in place. It sucks because my guess is that they would've been at least 15,000 m kicks, and it's happened three time already at the same spot. High score (until bug fix) remains 7251
A Google User
OK but needs work The speed of the ball keep-up varies from device to device and thus on faster devices its difficult to get an accurate hit. If only the graphics were to match the screen resolution then it might even get 5 stars. High score 6751

Quite good Good game try to beat 6951. Ball slows down too quick
Pass the time Fun, easy, and free way to pass the time! Obviously not the best game in the world, but I like!
Love it I dont see the strategy and I guess your just kicking it randomly and sometimes get powerful outbursts and high scores. Its fun :)
Sucks Was fun 2 years ago. Now sux. Not optimized for new devices, ads all over and loads very slowly. Never again.
Monkey Good game. After to update it made the monkey kick to fast but after you get used to to it kinda make it easier. But it is laggy and also my highest score is like 7527 and it would have been more because it was still flying and didn't hit the ground but hit like a wall. Might have been a glitch but it happen to me like 3 times and it always stops in the same place
Monkey kick off is a good game. This game is fun because you get to tap the screen to make a monkey kick the ball. But, sometimes it gets boring because your doing the same thing over and over.
Good Its good but all my highscores go I had 7563 but it all went but know I have 7050 :( also after 7000 it doesnt keep going it hits like a wall and stops or goes back they need to fix that
Warning! don't play this game Dissapointing I hate this game the ball stops too fast but I got past monkey village. I am not playing this game anymore it's boring
Would put 0 stars if i could. It went to the screen of the fame then black. Would have liked to actually play it! Ugh!
Enjoyable It's a fun game to pass time. As far as I can tell it isn't a game of skill as much as just luck. My 5 year old and I enjoy playing it together.
Fix ball and quality Ball moves way to fast and it is not a good quality for a tablet. The game is good and enjoyable, it just needs to fix this two problems.
Ghe worst update my fone has ever taken Its now laggy the colors are horrid the game used to look like the one online an it was great! Now it looks like a preschooler drew it up It dosent scroll well like it did befour i have alot of games on myfone most updated make them better... Updateing this ruins the game completely good job retards!!! Ruined a classic
Ralph Fun, fantastic, freaking awsome i'll say; Great and really easy to play when your bored or just need something to play when your out and about.
DENISE Love this game, so simple and competitive to see who can get top distance. Ball only slows down too fast if your not 'kicking' it @ the correct time.
Cool Its pretty cool but after a while it gets boring. But trust me, u should get it!
Not bad, but you can't get past a 7,000 The game itself is fun, but when you really get a hold of the ball and kill it the Ball just stops moving forward even tho it is still bouncing very high. The most I got was 7,400 when it should have been in the teens. I like the game but as far as trying to get a best score forget about it. The developers really need to fix this glitch. I've. Read at least 20 reviews about the same thing. Check your reviews mini clip!!!!!!
OK Its OK. Gets boring pretty quick but is fun for a while. Its all about guessing when to kick the ball try and beat my score 6972
Was a good game Way bad laaagggg.... And how does my ball travel at WARP speed through countless villages... Then hit 6000 metres and then stop all of a sudden.... No bounce or roll... Game lost its smoothness from two years ago....
revdocjim The wall is frustrating and I would love to know how to beat it. Every once in a while the ball seems to go further. My best is 7733 but I have no idea what was different on that one. I actually enjoyed this game more when I played it on an ipod and there was no 2/3 finger cheat. It took great timing and a score of 4,000 was incredible.
♡Niqueツ Its alriet_:/ could have been a lil better cos all your doing is just kicking a coconut...((monkey looks *bored..he needs a friend))..lol..j/sツ #Team♥A n d r o ! D
One of the best games!!! But horrible problems :( The ball will not go past 7500... it just starts to go backwards. Really annoying I don't understand why does this. Please fix this that would be great

The iPhone 5 goes on sale Friday and the first people in line are all waiting it out, at least in part, to attract media attention to one company or another. Still, hundreds of consumers without any marketing agenda are expected to get in line behind them soon. As of Tuesday morning there were about 20 people in line at Apple's Manhattan flagship store on 5th Avenue.
Some of the people have waited in line since Friday. While these events often start out with a party-like atmosphere, it was obvious that the rain from a storm that hit early Tuesday was adding to the discomfort. Marathon line-sitting can be torture.
Some of the campers tried keeping the rain off with cardboard boxes, trash bags, tarps or umbrellas. A few even banded together to pay for a rental car that they parked nearby so they could take turns getting out of the rain. We will be updating this gallery leading up to Friday (This gallery first appeared on September 17).
Read CNET's hands-on review of the iPhone here.

Hazem Sayed, the founder of social networking app Vibe, was the first person in line. He has survived on fast food, slept little and is now suffering from a cold.

He said he tries sleeping at night on his folding chair rather than on the ground but he concedes it's uncomfortable. Photographed is someone in line who doesn't seem to have any problem sleeping in a chair.
Those in line say employees at the Cube have been gracious. They let them get water, charge their laptops, and use the store's bathroom.
Photographed is the line at Apple's 5th Avenue store, also known as the Cube, Monday morning at 6:30 a.m. ET.
Here, an officer with the New York Police Department starts waking line-sitters in front of Apple's 5th Avenue store.
If that seems a little humiliating, consider that the cop can't find it too much fun to be an alarm clock for a bunch of gadget hounds.
He and his brother Josh arrived on Friday with the intent to stake out the front of the line and was told that Apple hadn't sanctioned the line yet, so people would not be allowed to wait. By the time he returned, the line was formed and he was well back of the front.
Chinchilla is the founder of Refundo, an online financial services company, and he says he's there to promote the company as well as get his hands on an iPhone. He is unapologetic about his marketing or his love of Apple products. When asked if he heard a passerby call the group pathetic, Chinchilla joked: "What isn't pathetic is my Apple stock."

Mellow acknowledges accepting a free iPhone from the company that sponsored her, electronics reseller Gazelle. But she says she's no iPhone-y. According to her, she loves iPhones and the adventure of camping out and would have done it had she not found a sponsor. I'll leave it up to readers to decide.
What is undeniable is that Mellow has interesting pursuits.

Even girls had 'Chak de India' inscribed on their cheeks and foreheads
But the enthusiasm shown in the morning evaporated as India lost the match
HYDERABAD: A 'Chak de India' spirit enveloped the city on Friday. Thousands of cricket fans thronged the Rajiv Gandhi cricket stadium with the same theme, cheering Team India to prove its one-upmanship over the Aussies in the one-day international cricket match.
Jubilant fans marched up to the stadium holding placards and banners. Even girls had 'Chak de India' inscribed on their bubbly cheeks and foreheads against a background of the tri-colour. The atmosphere outside Gate-5 and 4 was electrifying with people regardless of their age, cheering fellow spectators with the song 'Chak de… Chak de India.'
But the enthusiasm shown in the morning evaporated as India lost the match. The lack of euphoria was very much visible, as crowds came out onto the road from the stadium, a shade disappointed, despite a terrific knock by Yuvaraj.
A dozen medicos drew spectators' attention with their unique attire. Clad in a white T-shirts and jeans, students wore T-shirts displaying 'Chak de' in blue. "We bought the new dress just for today", a charged Harish explained.
College girls felt Indian captain Dhoni and Vice-Captain Yuvraj Singh would definitely entertain the crowds with their boundaries. "Yuvi will rock", an Intermediate student Nirupama said. Another girl sported a different look, getting Dhoni's name and the national flag inscribed on her forehead.
A businessman and his family from Trimulgherry turned up with traditional Rajasthani turbans and in 'Maharaja' dresses.
Utter chaos prevailed when fans queued-up on the main stretch at Genpact in Uppal. Altercations ensued between police constables and fans over entering the stadium despite erecting sign boards on the road indicating colour of the passes.
Those selling tickets in black had a field day. A Rs.250 ticket fetched them anywhere from Rs.750 to Rs.1,000.
When such an event takes the twin cities by storm, will tinsel town personalities be far behind? Among those from the film industry who generated quite a wee bit of attention from the cricket-crazy Hyderabadis were Victory Venkatesh, Srikanth and Saikumar.


text: Vulnerability NetCommerce Affected IBM NetCommerce 3 (others?) Description Rudi Carell found following. He found a couple of serious security-holes within ibm s so called "netcommerce" thing which seems to be a mixture of websphere, net.data, servlets, jsp s and db2? Besides well known websphere-bugs (file thru disclosure and default-admin passwords), the most dangerous bugs result from NON-existing input validation within netcommerc s net.data "macros". By crafting malformed http-requests it is possible to extract "any" netcommerce-database-information. Combining this method with other default-"netcommerce" funcionality (PasswordReset for example) it is possible to take hold of so called "store-" or "site-manager"-accounts. Once you're an nc-administrator you are allowed to use all the admin-tools. At this point youre able to up- and download files, issue op-system-commands or do any query with the very very high-privileged DB2INST1 account. This can lead to a possible take-over of the whole system.... Many "default-macros" are vulnerable to this (classic:-) sort of attack. A few examples: 1) "HowTo find Administrator Accounts" http://shophost.com/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/ExecMacro/orderdspc.d2w/report?order_rn=99999+union+select+shlogid+as+mestname,0+from+shopper+where+shshtyp+%3d+'A'; 2) "Passwords(crypted)" http://shophost.com/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/ExecMacro/orderdspc.d2w/report?order_rn=99999+union+select+shlpswd+as+mestname,0+from+shopper+where+shlogid+%3d+'ncadmin'; 3) "Password-Reminders" http://shophost.com/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/ExecMacro/orderdspc.d2w/report?order_rn=99999+union+select+shchaans+as+mestname,0+from+shopper+where+shlogid+%3d+'ncadmin'; Of course "orderdspc.d2w" is not the only vulnerable macro .. it's just an example. Casting between different data-types is possible (read the db2-man pages). Also it should (not proofed) be possible to query other databases. This has been confirmed on Net.Commerce 3.1.2. Solution Nothing yet.
