Most firmware breaks at some point due to Linux fiddling with it's resources. What differs is how and when it breaks. In case of IP27 the first TLB flush for example is going to kill ARC.

Bridgman/Packer's Artful Collision
New York Sun reviewer Helen Shaw calls the effect "genuinely bewitching … thoroughly disorienting and never less than gorgeous."
The software, developed by Matthias Oostrik, is one of the inventive ways the company integrates video technology in its choreography — a concept it calls "video partnering." "Memory Bank" is one of three pieces featured in "Out of the Box," a show composed of selections from the full-length works that make up the company's "Trilogy." Bridgman/Packer will perform "Out of the Box" at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 25 in Murchison Lane Auditorium at Sweet Briar College.
Bridgman and Packer's works "Seductive Reasoning" and "Under the Skin" are also featured in the show. Each piece is distinct in its integration of real and virtual. The performers variously become projection screens, multiply on stage and interact with themselves as well as each other, and seemingly morph before the viewers' eyes. In "Trilogy," "Evocative transformations play out in sensuous, intensely physical partnering and surprising shifts of scale," the company writes on its website.
Original musical scores by composers Robert Een, Ken Field and Glen Velez accompany the works.
Tickets go on sale Monday, Jan. 17. Admission is $10 for adults, $7 for seniors, $5 for students, and free for children younger than 12 and for members of the Sweet Briar community. Call (434) 381-6120 or e-mail [email protected] to reserve tickets. Credit card orders can be placed starting Jan. 17 at www.lynchburgtickets.com.

At this point I am just wondering if it really is possible to get pregnant with PCOS. Also if I have PCOS does it mean I have diabetes? One more thing.. one of the symptoms I have is unwanted facial hair...badly. I wax my face and when the hair is to short I bleach it with cream face bleach. Is there any way to treat this? I know these are questions I need to be asking my doctor, and trust me I will. Its just I was hoping to get other people's opinions and experiences as well.
Honestly any information/experience in regards to PCOS that you could provide to me would be very appreciated. I am new to WebMD so I haven't had a chance to read through all of the posts.

Keynote presentation: What Do You Say When Data are Sparse?
George Gray, Ph.D.
Professor of Environmental and Occupational Health, and Director of the Center for Risk Science and Public Health,
George Washington University
Predictions about potential harm to humans or the environment from chemical exposures are subject to considerable qualitative and quantitative uncertainty. The degree of uncertainty depends, to some extent, on the amount of information available to assess risk. Tools exist to make statements about the potential risk of even poorly tested chemicals. Yet in high profile situations, like the recent spill of 4-methylcyclohexanemethalnol into the Elk River in West Virginia, the message that is often communicated is a lack of knowledge when data are sparse. I will explore, with this real life example, the possibilities and pitfalls of making and communicating risk statements while acknowledging uncertainty.
Environmental Risk Assessment
Chair: Peter Jutro, Ph.D., Associated Administrator for Homeland Security (Acting), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
Additional Speakers:
Stan Blacker, Former EPA Director of Quality Assurance Management and Goodman friend and colleague
Adam Finkel, Ph.D., Executive Director, Program on Regulation, University of Pennsylvania Law School
Dr. Daniel Goodman's field was academically defined as ecology and population biology, but in reality became decision-making under uncertainty, which he approached from both a scholarly socio-historical and a pragmatic statistical point of view. His specialty was examining a complicated situation, breaking it down into appropriate analytical units, creating an appropriate analytical technique, undertaking the analysis, as then explaining to non-mathematically inclined people the essence of his approach, the reason for it, what it produced, and how to interpret and properly use the results. He accomplished what few others had: educating clients on how to properly interpret the information they had to deal with, how to recognize limits, and then teaching them how to do it themselves in the future.
In this session, we will address three environmentally based issues related to Dr. Goodman's long involvement with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). First, Stanley Blacker will address his efforts to help develop a sound, defensible statistical framework for the arcane area of Quality Assurance (QA). This work, which he began for EPA, was the basis for subsequent work helping design cleanup of the Hanford Reservation for the Department of Energy (DOE). Second, in the context of EPA's mission related to decontamination following almost any incident involving chemical, biological, or radiological contamination, Peter Jutro will discuss Dr. Goodman's contributions to EPA and to the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) Advisory committee for the design of Biowatch, in which Dr. Goodman helped DHS and EPA both understand and address the Government Accountability Office's (GAO) unease with the government's approach to directed versus statistical sampling design for understanding the distribution of contamination. Finally, Adam Finkel will discuss three themes that permeated Dr. Goodman's work in the area of risk assessment: the importance of quantifying uncertainty in order to make sense of risky choices; the folly of single-disciplinary approaches to complicated technical and societal problems; and the potential for analysis to become a much more useful force, if it is grounded in the comparative weighing of solutions to problems.
The Role of Demography in Marine Mammal Conservation
Chair: Barbara Taylor, Ph.D., Leader of Marine Mammal Genetics Group, Southwest Fisheries Science Center, NOAA Fisheries
Additional Speakers:
Jay Barlow, Ph.D., Leader of the EEZ Mammals and Acoustics Program, Southwest Fisheries Science Center, NOAA Fisheries
Eric Ward, Ph.D., Statistician, Northwest Fisheries Science Center, NOAA Fisheries
Rebecca Taylor, Ph.D., Research Statistician, Alaska Science Center, USGS
Lisa Schwarz, Ph.D., Assistant Research Biologist, EEB/Long Marine Lab, University of California, Santa Cruz
Dr. Daniel Goodman made great contributions to marine mammal conservation by revealing how demography accounts for much of what is needed to make sound management decisions when faced with uncertainty. We illustrate Dr. Goodman's influence on marine mammal conservation with a series of case studies by his former students that use Dr. Goodman's own research and build upon it. Barlow and Boveng developed a method to model age-specific mortality based upon general mammalian mortality patterns but applicable to the types and quantities of data that are typically available for marine mammal populations. B. Taylor summarizes similar work to develop a simple model allowing estimation of generation length for most cetaceans (whales, dolphins and porpoises) for use in the IUCN redlist categories. Ward demonstrates the importance of demographic variation alongside model uncertainty and environmental stochasticity for a small population of killer whales. R. Taylor and Udevitz combined a demographic model with multiple data types to estimate walrus population trend when population size data alone were too uncertain to be reliable. Finally, Schwarz shows how starting age structure and uncertainty in juvenile survival rate affect population projections of Antarctic fur seals, showing leopard seal predation is a recent but important driver in fur seal population dynamics. Although each approach differs, with some using likelihood, others a set of rules allowing use of parameters from similar species and others a Bayesian framework, they all contribute to marine mammal conservation using the basic principles of demography. The set of case studies also demonstrate the breadth of conservation applications from the IUCN redlist, to very species-specific problems and finally to ecological questions.
The Link Between Fisheries Management and Conservation
Chair: Jack Stanford, Ph.D., Director of the Flathead Biologic Station, and Jessie M. Bierman Professor of Ecology, University of Montana
Additional Speakers:
Milo Adkison, Ph.D., Professor, University of Alaska Fairbanks
Randall Peterman, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus, Simon Fraser University
In this session we will examine some of Dr. Daniel Goodman's work to show how science, management and conservation are linked, and how explicit recognition of this linkage can improve management and conservation, and how ignoring it can lead to poor results (or, as Dr. Goodman would say, "these activities usually work about as well as a train wreck"). Stanford will start with a short perspective on his years of work with Dr. Goodman on scientific review panels. Stanford also will show how Dr. Goodman helped demonstrate the trophic cascade that occurred in Flathead Lake as a consequence of the type 1 error by management when they introduced a strong interactor into the lake food web and how this big mistake has caused the management and policy train wreck that is ongoing. Milo Adkison will describe work that Dr. Goodman did in Alaska adding great insight into the pitfalls of stock-recruitment management of salmon. Randall Peterman will follow Milo with a very informed presentation how lack of quantitative attention to uncertainties in fisheries data and models can vastly complicate and often prevent successful conservation. Throughout the session the need for scientific rigor that Dr. Goodman always
Integrated Ecosystem Modeling and Fisheries Management Strategy Evaluation: Where are We and What is the Future?
Chair: Andre Punt, Ph.D., Associate Director of the School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences, University of Washington
Additional Speakers:
Francis Wiese, Ph.D., Former Science Director, North Pacific Research Board
Ivonne Ortiz, Ph.D., Research Scientist, University of Washington/Alaska Fisheries Science Center, NOAA Fisheries
George Hunt, Ph.D., Research Professor, School of Aquatic and Fishery Science, University of Washington
Traditionally, the advice provided to fishery managers has focused on the trade-offs between short- and long-term yields, and between future resource size and expected future catches. The control rules that are used to provide management advice consequently relate catches to stock biomass levels expressed relative to reference biomass levels. There are, however, additional trade-offs to consider when selecting fishery catch and effort controls. Ecosystem Based Fisheries Management (EBFM) aims to consider fish and fisheries in their ecological context, taking into account physical, biological, economic, and social factors. However, making EBFM operational remains a challenge. It is generally recognized that Integrated Ecosystem Modeling (IEM) should be key part of implementing EBFM, along with control rules which utilize information in addition to estimates of stock biomass. Dr. Daniel Goodman was central to identifying how IEM can be used to develop such control rules. Here we outline the process for selecting among alternative control rules in an ecosystem context and summarize a modeling effort funded by the National Science Foundation and the North Pacific Research Board which could implement this process. A key component of the Bering Sea Project is a vertically integrated group of models which include a management strategy evaluation component to compare alternative harvest control rules. Effective use of IEM requires that the models developed for a system are indeed integrated. We summarize the steps taken by the program managers to ensure integration of modeling efforts by multiple investigators. We also show how the results of ongoing monitoring efforts can be integrated into models and illustrate how the modeling efforts were designed to be able to address management needs. Finally, we highlight the lessons learned during the Bering Sea Project that can be used to guide future use of IEM.

Scientific Mentoring
Chairs: Jim Berkson, Ph.D., Unit Leader and Associate Professor, NOAA Fisheries RTR Unit at the University of Florida
Gary Lopez, Ph.D., Executive Director, Monterey Institute for Technology and Education
While mentoring benefits both the mentor and the mentee through enhanced personal and professional development, many professors merely advise their graduate students. Mentors develop a deeper, more personal relationship than advisors, advancing both the educational and personal growth of their students. Hallmarks of an effective mentoring relationship involve mutual trust and strong communication. In science, as in other disciplines, a mentor often guides a student to a way of problem solving, a way of thinking. As scientists, how we we're taught to think was molded by the scientific process. We strive to understand the natural world by observation, experimentation, data gathering, and analysis. Does this way of thinking have value outside of scientific inquiry? This session will discuss two topics relating to mentoring: (1) a brief review of the definition of mentoring, its benefits, and how it's accomplished, and (2) the value of thinking like a scientist for endeavors such as business, design, and development. Specific tenants and approaches that were emphasized by Dr. Daniel Goodman will be highlighted with real world examples.
Daniel Goodman's Empirical Approach to Bayesian Statistics
Chair: Tim Gerrodette, Ph.D., Marine Biologist, Protected Resources Division, Southwest Fisheries Science Center, NOAA Fisheries
Additional Speakers:
Eric Ward, Ph.D., Statistician, Northwest Fisheries Science Center, NOAA Fisheries
Rebecca Taylor, Ph.D., Research Statistician, Alaska Science Center, USGS
Lisa Schwarz, Ph.D., Post-doctoral researcher, EEB/Long Marine Lab, University of California, Santa Cruz
In Bayesian statistics, in contrast to classical frequentist statistics, probability is used to represent uncertainty about the state of knowledge. Bayesian statistics has often been associated with the idea that knowledge is subjective and that a probability distribution represents a personal degree of belief. Dr. Daniel Goodman considered this viewpoint problematic for issues of public policy. He sought to ground his Bayesian approach in data, and advocated the construction of a prior as an empirical histogram of "similar" cases. In this way, the posterior combined comparable previous data with case-specific current data, using Bayes' formula. Dr. Goodman championed such a data-based approach, but he acknowledged that it was difficult in practice. If based on a true representation of our knowledge and uncertainty, Dr. Goodman argued that the decision process could be an exact science, despite the uncertainties. Bayesian statistics is a critical component of this science because a Bayesian analysis produces the probabilities of future outcomes. Indeed, Dr. Goodman maintained that the Bayesian machinery, following the rules of conditional probability, offered the best legitimate inference from available data. We give an example of a data-driven prior in a recent study of patterns of spatial use by Steller sea lions in Alaska.
Better Science, Risk Assessment, and Decision-making Under the Endangered Species Act
Chair: Tim Ragen, Ph.D., Retired Executive Director, U.S. Marine Mammal Commission
Additional Speakers:
Holly Doremus, J.D., Ph.D., James H. House and Hiram H. Hurd Professor of Environmental Regulation, Co-Director of the Center for Law, Energy & the Environment, Director, Environmental Law Program, University of California, Berkley
David Policansky, Ph.D., Research Scholar, Board on Environmental Studies and Toxicology, National Research Council
Dr. Daniel Goodman devoted much of his career to the enhancement of science, risk assessment, and decision-making under the Endangered Species Act. This section of the symposium will focus on three related topics of particular interest to Dr. Goodman. First, Professor Holly Doremus (University of California, Berkley) will describe the need for more structured decision-making under the Act. Dr. Goodman had long emphasized the need to integrate science and management decisions into decision frameworks that focused the science on critical issues and reduced – to the extent possible – the subjectivity in risk assessment and decision-making. Second, Dr. David Policansky (National Research Council) will describe Dr. Goodman's involvement in a recent review of ecological risk assessment under the Endangered Species Act and the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act. Although Dr. Goodman died before the review report was finalized, he had disagreed with the review committee on several points and prepared a dissenting statement. Dr. Policansky will describe some of the issues of contention, as well as Dr. Goodman's clarity of communication and purpose, and the importance of separating policy judgments from scientific ones. Third, Dr. Tim Ragen (Marine Mammal Commission, retired) will discuss Dr. Goodman's contributions to Endangered Species Act implementation including listing decisions, recovery teams, recovery plans, and Section 7 consultations.
Ecological Decision-making
Chairs: Gina Himes Boor, Ph.D., Assistant Research Professor, Department of Ecology, Montana State University
Paul Wade, Ph.D., Research Biologist, National Marine Mammal Lab, Alaska Fisheries Science Center, NOAA Fisheries
Additional Speakers:
Grant Thompson, Ph.D., Research Fisheries Biologist, Alaska Fisheries Science Center, NOAA Fisheries
The conservation and management of wildlife and other natural resources, at its fundamental level, involves making decisions. The application of science to the ecological decision-making process was something that Dr. Daniel Goodman thought deeply about. Over his career he worked in many areas that can be thought of as ecological decision-making, including the management of fish and wildlife harvests, the remediation of toxic waste sites, and dam removal. However, Dr. Goodman was particularly active in the science of threatened and endangered species management, including listing decisions, recovery planning, and delisting decisions. Our paper will focus on this latter topic, though much of the thinking is relevant to ecological decision-making in other contexts. We discuss the three main principles that Dr. Goodman espoused for good practice in ecological decision-making: 1) the results should be conditioned on all the data, 2) there must be a full characterization of all uncertainty, and it should be fully propagated into the result, and 3) doing so in the correct way results in a calculation of an accurate probability distribution for the state of nature (in this case, a probability of extinction). It then follows that the calculated probability distribution should be directly used for ecological decision-making. We discuss the practical implications of these principles in terms of how extinction risk should be defined and how Population Viability Analysis and Bayesian statistics are the most logical tools to make management and listing decisions about threatened and endangered species. To illustrate, we highlight two examples of the application of these tools and principles, a Bayesian PVA that Dr. Goodman produced for the Steller sea lion recovery plan and a Bayesian PVA of the Cook Inlet beluga whale population. Finally, we describe a specific methodology for incorporating such PVAs into a risk assessment framework.
Keynote Synthesis Presentation
Anil Nerode, Ph.D., Goldwin Smith Professor of Mathematics, Cornell University
Professor Anil Nerode, the Goldwin Smith Professor of Mathematics at Cornell University and a long-term friend and colleague of Dr. Daniel Goodman, will help integrate the topics discussed at the symposium. He will provide a global view of Dr. Goodman's contributions to environmental science and policy and will describe Dr. Goodman's special scientific talent for constructing testable statistical models to assess the consequences of environmental policies, independent of any ideology. Professor Nerode's synthesis will provide an important basis for the panel discussion following his presentation.

Percentage July 08, 2012 9:42 AM "Does anyone know how a spec ECU will cope with Aprilia V4s, inline fours of at least three types.?" @rick65Easy. Aftermarket ECUs (like PI, Motec etc.) already can handle from singles to 12 cylinders (both 2 and 4 stroke).There is a just a sync pulse from crank rotation, this gives position and speed, then the injection/ignition is just mapped to this. Simple. Reply Report abuse 5 agree 0 disagree
RSMick July 08, 2012 10:11 AM This is in a 2 week old interview, in it he says he has been talking to Magneti Marelli about producing this, saying that if he can do a bulk orderof ones made to do the job it will help the CRT as developing the ECU is expensive (just look at Forward, Bosch and Edwards). Magnetti Marelli are about the best and none of the CRT bikes have that system, so will be a less of a headache.However you need someone to set them up and translate what the rider wants.He also said its not what he wants and not what the manufacturer wants but Dorna are in the entertainment business and he must do what he has to in balancing the racing, developement, economics and entertainment.Its not a rule, its a way of helping.

This Thing Called Literature is not only an essential guide to the study of literature but an eloquent defense of the discipline. In this exclusive interview Andrew Bennett and Nicholas Royle give us an insight into their new book.
With the rapid growth of scientific and vocational courses, and with students wanting tangible rewards from their degrees, Bennett and Royle show us why Literature still holds a crucial place in society.

Never liked Turok...but Zelda rocks!
If I had a N64, I would buy Battle For Naboo the day it came out! The game looks awesome. I hope they release it for PC! |
I think there's a chance, they also released Rogue Squadron on the PC, so why shouldn't they do it for Batlle for Naboo as well.

About the Poem

Gary Langford (b. 1947, Christchurch) is a New Zealand poet and author with more than twenty...
Reflections on the Beast
Reflections on the Beast
I had trouble forming your picture last night.
A wind was blowing up from your grave.
It closed all windows with a crash.
It swirled and tossed across the hills.
I pieced together a pale shadowy woman,
A woman who swelled up near death,
As though secretly you wanted to explode,
But didn't know how.
Then I remembered your story of the beast,
The one who came crawling out of family photographs,
Popping up at reunions with an idiot smile.
The one who took children and mangled them in its jaws.
The one who was God's Army for God and Devil were one.
The one who talked behind its hands when you walked the streets.
The one who took you out of school to become a Swampmother.
The one who gave you shock treatment for post-natal depression.
The one who tapped at the window when you sat alone,
Singing knickknack paddywack, give the beast a bone.
The one who laughed and laughed, and grinned and grinned,
As you looked in the mirror and saw the beast within.
I remembered the beast in your eyes in those years,
Nothing eyes, only in storms did they come alive.
Some die in these storms, others commit suicide.
This worried you most of all.
You could not root the beast out.
You offered it flesh. It ate flesh.
You offered it milk. It drank milk.
You offered all you had.
The beast took you, bored with games.
It sang, tralala, tralala, and moved on.

10 month old, third week
How your baby is growing
During dinner you may watch amazed as your baby hand-feeds herself an entire meal. Give her a cup and see if she can grip it and drink from it without your help. Don't rush her, though, as it may be a few months before she's able to do it. Once she can, prepare to duck, as she'll probably toss the cup away when she's finished!Your baby may now be able to walk while gripping your hand, and may hold out her arm or lift her leg to help you dress her.
Let's play
Two great games for you and your baby to play this week.Your life: functioning on less sleep
Nobody functions well when they're short of shut-eye. Here are some tried-and-tested tactics for those moments when lack of sleep catches up with you:- Get out into the fresh air. A brisk walk to the park to feed the ducks can work wonders on your mind and body.
- Even better, take your baby swimming. It will refresh you and tire your little one out, meaning a better night's sleep for you both.
- Drink plenty of water. Dehydration can make tiredness worse.
- Take a power nap. A 15-minute snooze while your baby naps, or in your lunch hour if you are back at work, can help you get through the afternoon.
Tips for you this week
Your baby won't eat her dinner, even though she liked it last week. You may feel it was a waste of time, effort and money. But why not freeze the leftovers? After all, next week she may have changed her mind again.Food is the biggest bill for most families, after housing. It makes sense to try to save money on groceries where you can. And eating healthily is possible on a tight budget. For example, it's usually cheaper to cook your own meals rather than buy them ready-made. And having a few meat-free meals will save money, as well as being a good idea health-wise.
Here is more help for what may be concerning you:
- Even if you can only put aside £5 a month, doing so is a great way to get into the saving habit.
- Can you cut your childcare costs without skimping on quality of care?
- Here are some ideas for reducing your spending if you're surviving on a single income.
- Take part in our poll: what would you spend a £20K windfall on?
Parent know-how: consistent routine
"I think having a consistent routine from birth is a really good way of keeping your baby happy and feeling secure. My baby daughter goes to bed at 8pm every night and knows no different, so she is very well-behaved when it comes to bedtime!"Lindsey
Read how bedtime routines can mean a better night's sleep for you and your baby.

Ritalin (methylphenidate) |
Thread Tools | Display Modes |
is Ritalin not working or am I not working
I was diagnosed at the beginning of the month and put on Ritalin (2 10mg throughout the day, then 4 throughout the day).
The first day I maybe got euphoria, I maybe could concentrate more. But really, nothing really happened. Then I got a little depressed. Then, more nothing. I still can't get anything done, my house is still a mess, I still do the thing where I can't remember to follow through with my vague plan to take a shower and then when I do finally start the water it ends up staying running while I make a meal and start checking my e-mail and flip through TV. Worst of all, when I'm at the library, I still get the feeling where I look around at everyone else studying and think "how do they do that? They have to be faking. This is completely impossible." That was the one thing that I read in other ADDers' stories that made me think my diagnosis was the real deal and that I hoped would change on the medication. All the other "Ritalin not working" posts seem to be about side effects. That's not my problem. My problem is the that ritalin isn't doing what it's supposed to do, or anything, really. When I take the pills I feel something happen. My head feels different, physically, and my mind could best be described in the words of another poster as "some lights being on others not at all." But it doesn't change any of my behavior. Is this the Ritalin not working or is the problem here me? If the former: did anybody else have this issue with Ritalin, and can it be fixed with another medication? |

Re: is Ritalin not working or am I not working
Maybe your dose is too low. I started out on a taper to find my dose, increasing it after every 2 days if it didn't work. I went from 5mg dose twice daily, to 10mg twice daily, to 15 twice daily and finally to 20 mg twice daily. Then with an extra pill, i took it three times in a day, and when I went back to follow up with my doctor, he prescribed me 20 mg three times daily, which seems to work. I find I still can't focus in my house because the external stimuli is still too tempting even with my mind beign able to focus on things...
Anyhow, I do the shower thing a lot too. I lose my keys a lot, and I do a lot of things that can't be quantified that the ritalin seems to help. It may not help me focus, but I don't ramble as much or interrupt myself anymore. So if it's not your dose, maybe your other symptoms of ADD are being taken care of, but you don't notice it? Good luck. I'm curious what you're a grad student in- I'm a grad student too, recently diagnosed. My doctor was very impressed and said it was rare, so I'm just curious. |
Re: is Ritalin not working or am I not working
It could also be that it's half-life is only 2-4 hours and a dose's effects only last from like 1-3 hours. You could try spacing out the doses to avoid any "non-coverage" during the day.
Because of the short half-life, I would crash big time after almost every dose. Totally unworkable for me. Also, another consideration is that your natural dopamine levels may be low. If so, the Ritalin doesn't have much to work with since it just blocks reuptake. You may need something like Adderall instead, which in addition to the reuptake blocking, it releases stored dopamine from their vesicles so there's more to work with. |

Re: is Ritalin not working or am I not working
I know I am a latecomer on this thread, however I am experiencing a similar problem with my recent diagnosis and medication. I was diagnosed at the beginning of the year with ADHD - Innatentive Type, and I started medication (Ritalin 10, 2x a day for 2 weeks, and now up to 3x a day.) Aside from a strange fuzzy euphoria the first time, and a little anxiety when the second and third dose wore off, I can't say that I have noticed any difference when taking Ritalin. At all. I am now into my third week of taking it, and I seem to experience no side effects or theraputic effects at all. I even looked up the tablet components in my flatmate's pharmacology textbook to see if it was actually a stimulant! It could have been sugar for all I know- it seems to be doing nothing! I find it difficult to fathom that people can get hooked on this medication. I am still unable to pay attention, my apartment is a disaster zone, I can't organise myself, I still get distracted, I can't study for exams except on the day the exam is scheduled, I still costantly zone out, and I still can't write my essays except the night before/day they are due. It doesn't seem to do anything for focus at all. Am I just not trying hard enough? What was your experience? Has the Ritalin improved over time, or did you change medication regimes? I noticed someone suggested Adderall. Also, I noticed you are a Grad student. I am currently studying a LLB and a BA in Politics. Do you know any strategies that have worked for you (i.e. for studying, learning information, planning work etc?) I am just finishing my second year now, and I dont know how much longer I can maintain cramming everything the morning of the exams. I seem physically incapable of studying beforehand, because I just cannot get focused to do it. I cannot even connect with the information. I can relate to your library example completely. It is only when I am under intense pressure (in other words, the exam is in 3 hours or the essay is due in 4 hours) that I can get anything done. It is hard to find good advice for tertiary study techniques, because as someone else mentioned, people who are diagnosed with AD/HD as adults generally don't get to University. My doctor was very suprised that I was accepted into two degrees (especially one being Law) when most of his ADHD patients who were diagnosed as adults didn't finish high school, and even more suprised that I was getting through all my essays and exams through on-the-day cramming. Any advice would be great - with medication so ineffective, I dont know how much longer I am going to be able to cram before exams or wing essays before a serious academic disaster occurs. |

Re: is Ritalin not working or am I not working
Methylphenidate doesn't work for everyone. It could be the dose, or it could be the formulation. It's also available as Focalin, Concerta, and several other varieties that may work better for you. Sometimes the active ingredient in a different formulation works better (or worse.)
It could also be that you need an additional medication with a complementary action (for you. . .) A common combination for people with ADD with or without depression is a methylphenidate medication and a buproprion medication. The other possibility is that methylphenidate simply doesn't work for you, and you need to switch to an amphetamine based medication. If it's not working for you, you need to talk to your doctor - if you can afford it, and/or your insurance allows you, don't wait the full four weeks, make a new appointment. Stimulant medications show whether or not they're effective almost right away, so if it doesn't work now, it's not going to work later without some kind of change. |
Re: is Ritalin not working or am I not working
I tried concerta and it did nothing for as well, when I increased my dose all I had were the side effects. At times it seems that my symptoms were worse. I could do any work at all( I'm a university student as well). Also, they were times that I felt like I was high in drugs or something. my brain would get so heavy. Anyway I told my doctor , she told me that I might not have ADD.
Re: is Ritalin not working or am I not working
I'm so glad I found this now I know I'm not the only one. I'm in college and currently on Ritalin, I was supposed to take 5mg daily as my Doctor didn't think I have ADHD and the Ritalin was most likely going to make me hyper and give me a huge rush.
First day I took it I felt a little more awake, maybe concentrated a little more, after that nothing. I have gone from taking 5mg in one sitting to 20mg and I don't feel anything regardless of what I take. I honestly thought he prescribed me a placebo (sugar pills) or something because it isn't doing anything, I am also very tempted to give some to a friend to see if it's real. I'm currently supposed to be studying for a final but instead I'm googling random stuff and I realized I'm on Ritalin and I'm supposed to be studying. Studying with people, by myself, it doesn't matter, the only thing that saved my *** was the rush of learning a months worth of organic chemistry in 10 hours, and getting better grades than my friends who studied constantly for 4 weeks. But I don't have that rush anymore so now I don't really study at all for any test. I am/was Pre-Med, I doubt any post-graduate school will accept me with this semester's performance. But anyway my Doctor thought I may have ADHD inattentive type, I have all the symptoms and it sounds like me exactly. I'm quiet and day dream constantly but I'm the biggest adrenaline junkie around. Few years ago I went to a psychologist and he gave me an iQ test and made me click X's on a computer screen for 20 minutes. He said my reaction time was very fast but my concentration was average and my iQ was too high to have ADHD. I told him I have to react fast and click things on a screen all day when I play computer games but he said nothing back. My iQ was 128 and this was at 8am and I know I made a bunch of stupid mistakes, I could have done better. So if Ritalin doesn't work for any of you either what does? And does that most likely mean that I have ADHD because a lot of people don't believe me because it's so overly diagnosed. Not to mention that Adderall is easily available on college campuses ($5 a pill here) I never took any but I really don't want to go on Adderall because then people will think I'm pretending to have ADHD just to get free Adderall. I took a 7 day trial of Nuvigil 150mg and that actually worked, first 2 days I got head aches but after that I just felt normal. The funny thing is that drug is supposed to not be addicting at all but Ritalin is supposed to be very addicting. I would take Nuvigil in a second over Ritalin because it actually made me feel normal. |
Re: is Ritalin not working or am I not working
I just started taking medication yesterday and I can't tell whether what I'm currently experiencing is a true physiological effect or placebo. All I can say is that I'm feeling a similar effect as when I go out of the gym after a long workout. Some kind of a constant "down to earth" effect that allows me to better put things into perspective and focus on the matter at hand. Less "escaping" thoughts spoiling my concentration. I was put on Ritalin, 10 mg, thrice a day. I'm *extremely* surprised to hear that. People diagnosed with ADD are part of every spheres of the society (working class, CEO's, PhDs, scientists, physicians, etc). This fact has been confirmed by the psychiatrist I saw at the University. The psychologist that you saw must have been either old (there has been significant research conducted on adult ADD in the past few years) or completely ignorant. I'm sure someone more knowledgeable than me could comment on this. |

BOSTON From his carefully coifed hair to his data-driven business principles to his unwavering devotion to his oft-maligned Mormon faith, Mitt Romney is the spitting image of his father physically, professionally and morally.
The depth of their bond can be seen in one early story.
At 18, Mitt Romney met a 15-year-old girl with whom he felt he could share his life. He then left for a year of college and a 2 1/2-year Mormon mission in France, during which time his father not only took his future wife, Ann Davies, to church, but converted her to their faith.
"Your gal looked lovely as always," George Romney wrote to his son in February 1967. "I sat next to her in church and asked if that ring of yours on her engagement finger meant what it usually means, and she said it did."
While the son was frustrated at getting doors slammed in his face as he tried to find converts in a heavily Catholic nation, the father was proud of the success in winning over not only Ann, raised an Episcopalian, but also her brother, Jim.
At the time, George Romney was governor of Michigan and former chairman of American Motors. Ann's father, Edward Davies, had a less lofty title as the part-time mayor of Bloomfield Hills, Mich., where both families lived.
"This makes two converts here that are certainly yours, so don't worry about your difficulty in converting those Frenchmen," George Romney wrote to his son. "I am sure you can appreciate that Ann and Jim are worth a dozen of them, at least to us."
By the time Mitt returned in 1969, Ann's conversion was complete. Three months later the couple he was 22, she 19 married, first in a civil ceremony in Ann's home and the next day in the Mormon temple in Salt Lake City.
Today, Mitt Romney highlights his 38-year marriage, his five sons and the family life he's built with Ann as he runs for the Republican presidential nomination.
"My dad is my life hero," said Romney. "I probably would have never thought about politics, it would have never crossed my mind, had I not seen him do it. He's the real pioneer."
Asked recently to name his most treasured possession, Mitt Romney had a quick answer: A 1962 Rambler his sons gave him on his 60th birthday. The relic was manufactured during George Romney's final year as American Motors chairman.
The youngest of George and Lenore Romney's four children, Willard Mitt Romney was born on March 12, 1947, a "miracle baby," his father wrote, because Lenore Romney no longer thought she could become pregnant.
Mitt developed a passion for his father's business and sat alongside George Romney as he pored over auto trade publications. The son absorbed the smallest details of the auto industry, down to the minutiae of each car's design.
"I used to brag that you could show me one square foot and I could pick out the model and the year of the car," he said.
Although they lived a privileged life in the Detroit suburbs, Romney's parents sought to instill working-class values by making sure the kids pitched in with chores. That included shoveling before dawn during snowstorms.
Democrats dominated Michigan in the 1960s, no surprise given the strong auto industry and its union workers. What was a surprise was George Romney's success in being elected governor in 1962 as a Republican.
Like the auto business, Mitt Romney learned politics at the kitchen table. Father invited son to strategy sessions, giving him a front row seat on the campaign.

Thomas O. Hicks: In Memoriam
With his decision to sell the Texas Rangers to Pittsburgh sports attorney Chuck Greenberg, long-time owner Tom Hicks will willingly, yet grudgingly step into the shadows of Metroplex baseball.
But how will he be perceived?
While Greenberg, 48, and his group seek approval from Major League Baseball, Hicks might actually be ending on a high. By choosing Greenberg, Hicks is, in turn, choosing Nolan Ryan. Neither co-bidders Dennis Gilbert or Jim Crane would have kept Ryan out front and hands-on as team president.
The new ownership will apparently include seven local families as investors, with Hicks' family the second biggest. He'll be around. He just won't be ...
Firing Johnny Oates and Doug Melvin, signing Chan Ho Park and Alex Rodriguez or leading the Rangers to two of their three playoff appearances.
Hicks bought the Rangers in 1988 for $250 million; he'll sell them in 2010 for more than $500 million.
So I ask you, Rangers fans: How will you remember Tom Hicks?

Private First Class Langhorn's platoon was inserted into a landing zone to rescue two pilots of a Cobra helicopter shot down by enemy fire on a heavily timbered slope. He provided radio coordination with the command-and-control aircraft overhead while the troops hacked their way through dense undergrowth to the wreckage, where both aviators were found dead. As the men were taking the bodies to a pickup site, they came under intense fire from enemy soldiers in camouflaged bunkers to the front and right flank, and within minutes they were surrounded. PFC Langhorn radioed for help from the orbiting gunships, which placed minigun and rocket fire on the aggressors. He then lay between the platoon leader and another man, operating the radio and providing covering fire for the wounded who had been moved to the center of the perimeter. Darkness fell, making it impossible for the gunships to give accurate support, and the aggressors began to probe the perimeter. An enemy hand grenade landed in front of PFC Langhorn and a few feet from other casualties. Choosing to protect these wounded, he unhesitatingly threw himself on the grenade, scooped it beneath his body and absorbed the blast. By sacrificing himself, he saved the lives of his comrades. |
