Individuals with ADHD lost in hyperspace.
Hypermedia instruction allows instructors to provide learners with a variety of choices in selecting instructional objectives and approaches for acquiring information. Because hypermedia is able to link to digital media that can be modified and adapted, educators across various educational levels believe that hypermedia can meet the needs of diverse learners (Rose et al., 2005). However, linking to the different forms of modified digital media adds an additional layer to instructional material. Hyperlinking provides choices to learners, requiring them to use metacognitive skills as part of their decision-making process in selecting the links that will maximize their learning experience in those environments (Anderson-Inman, Knox-Quinn, & Horney, 1996; Davidson-Shivers, Shorter, Jordan, & Rasmussen, 1999; McGrath, 1992; Wijekumar, 2005). Increased choice selection creates the potential for learners to become disoriented or confused when navigating through lessons (Dias & Sousa, 1997). Because of the connection between metacognition and navigational decisions, built-in accommodations should include metacognitive supports in navigation for individuals with different learning challenges. Individuals with ADHD experience metacognitive skill deficits (Barkley, 1998; Borkowski, Peck, Reid, & Kurtz, 1983), which can hamper their ability to use hypermedia.
ADHD Characteristics That Impact Learning
Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder is a debilitating condition affecting the afflicted individual's life at home, work, and school (Weiss, 1997). The symptoms for the inattention type of ADHD, as describedby DSM-IV-TR, include: 1) inability to pay attention to details; 2) difficulty sustaining attention to tasks; 3) inability to listen; 4) failure to follow through on instructions; 5) failure to finish schoolwork, chores, or workplace duties; 6) difficulty in organizing tasks; 7) avoidance of tasks requiring sustained mental effort; 8) being easily distracted by extraneous stimuli; and 9) forgetfulness while performing daily activities. The hyperactivity-impulsivity type of ADHD is characterized as: 1) fidgeting with hands and feet, 2) leaving a seat when sitting is expected, 3) running about or climbing excessively, 4) blurting out responses before the question is completed, 5) difficulty awaiting one's turn, and 6) interrupting or intruding on others (American Psychiatric Association, 2000). The third type of ADHD is a combination of inattention and hyperactivity-impulsivity. Individuals with this type exhibit characteristics from both categories.
Individuals with ADHD experience many challenges in academic settings. By age 11, 80% of children with ADHD are at least two years behind their peers in reading, spelling, mathematics, and writing. When these children are educated in the regular classroom, they will most likely fail at least one grade by adolescence. Over one-third of the children will fail high school (Zentell, 1993). Individuals with ADHD who are impulsive have a tendency to select answers quickly without contemplating the consequences of the actions. Hence, they perform poorly on problem-solving tasks, composition writing, reading comprehension, serial recall tasks, and paper-pencil tests (Jonassen & Grabowski, 1993).
Metacognitive Development
Failure to develop basic academic skills appears to be directly correlated to the inability of individuals with ADHD to use metacognitive skills. Development of metacognitive skills occurs simultaneously with academic skills. As children mature, they begin to regulate when to use learning strategies, and they can monitor the effectiveness of those strategies (Dwyer, Tomei, & Mohr, 2000). In children with ADHD, this natural developmental process for metacognition seems to be interrupted, due to their symptoms of ADHD (Borkowski et al., 1983; Cohen et al., 2000; Jonassen & Grabowski, 1993; Ludwikowski, 1998; Manganello, 1995; Voelker, Carter, Spaque, Gdowski, & Lachar, 1989; Webster, Hall, Brown, & Bolen, 1996).
Distractibility, a trait of ADHD, seems to interfere with metacognitive development. Distractibility is exhibited by individuals with ADHD because they are attending to all of the stimuli in the environment, simultaneously making it difficult to sort through the stimuli to determine what should be attended to. As a result, individuals with ADHD often exhibit deficits in the following components of memory: short-term, long-term, auditory, visual, and working (Cohen et al., 2000; Ludwikowski, 1998; Webster et al., 1996). When dealing with memory deficits, students with ADHD are unable to hold the directions for simple metacognitive strategies in their memory long enough to practice them (Borkowski et al., 1983), which, consequently, leads to their use of immature metacognitive skills. This inability to move information from short-term to long-term memory prevents children with ADHD from processing novel material (Webster et al., 1996), adversely affecting the students' ability to be academically successful. To make Internet navigational decisions, the learner needs to be able to hold the linking options in short-term memory long enough to make a decision about which link to select.
Executive functions are the self-regulatory processes of metacognition (Barkley, 1998; Manganello, 1995; Puris & Tannock, 1997; Voelker et al., 1989). An individual with an executive function deficit is able to describe learning strategies but is not able to apply those strategies to a learning task (Flavel, 1979). Multiple processes within the executive function support metacognition, and these include: establishing vocational goals, acknowledging obstacles to success, shifting focus, following rules, judging performance, organizing in sequence, structuring activities, and ignoring distractions. Individuals with executive function disorder experience failure in planning ahead, anticipating the needs or requirements of a task, correcting task approach or behavior in the face of obvious failure, and identifying and implementing alternate strategies (Manganello, 1995).
Hypermedia Learning Environments
Hypermedia programs can be designed to highlight relevant information, reinforce correct responses, increase response times, decrease distractions, offer privacy, improve attention span, and provide motivation (Bornas, Severa, & Liabres, 1997; Edwards, Blackhurst, & Koorland, 1995; Jonassen & Grabowski, 1993; Koscinski & Gast, 1993; Terwillinger, 1986; Yehle & Wambold, 1998). Embedding links within the instructions can serve as cognitive scaffolding, guiding learners in the identification of relevant information (Skylar, Higgins, & Boone, 2007).
With the addition of multimedia and hypertext, instructional programs are becoming more complex, thus increasing the navigation decisions required by learners. The complexity of the instructional materials can be attributed to developers using constructivist strategies that allow learners to make decisions about their own paths through the instructional program. Learners must engage in reflective thinking and metacognitive strategies during inquiry and develop coherent explanations for information presented to them in constructive learning environments. Based upon the reflective process, students make decisions about revisiting old material or selecting new material to learn. Therefore, student-centered approaches in constructivist environments require the students to use high levels of metacognitive strategies to ensure they obtain the information required of them (Land, 2000). Computer-based programs (which have resulted in positive academic outcomes for students with ADHD) were developed using highly structured lessons with instantaneous feedback and reinforcement. These features are not often part of a constructivist multimedia learning environment.
Since instruction is no longer linear, learners can experience disorientation and confusion, due to conflicts between content integration and navigational decisions (Dias & Sousa, 1997). Learners' navigation decisions seem to be closely related to learning strategies used for monitoring comprehension and complex elaborating strategies (Davidson-Shivers et al., 1999). Therefore, metacognition is helpful in searching for information that requires clicking through multiple links, which can be confusing and frustrating to students with cognitive disabilities (Gardner & Wissick, 2000).
Several design factors seem to contribute to learners becoming lost in instructional hyperspace. Navigational buttons or text links that are not consistent from page-to-page/slide-to-slide create confusion for learners (Mariger, 2006). When navigation becomes confusing, students focus cognitive resources on interpreting the navigational cues rather than on the content. Hypermedia elements, such as blinking text, flashing onscreen objects, scrolling marquees, pop-ups, and/or continual animations, can distract (Crow, 2008; Peters-Waiters, 1998) the learner from selecting the correct link or following an appropriate planned pathway. Web pages with long passages of unbroken text and no white space can be frustrating to read and comprehend (Peters-Waiters, 1998). Without white space, the information displayed on the page is cluttered, thus increasing the cognitive load on learners as they process the images (Mariger, 2006).
Implications for Educators
Two approaches can be used to assist individuals with ADHD in accessing the hypermedia environments: accommodations that educators can implement and cognitive support within the hypermedia instruction. Interventions that educators have used successfully with individuals with cognitive disabilities also can assist those individuals with ADHD. Some individuals need assistance in making navigational decisions using metacognition until they become proficient in making pathway decisions based upon accomplishing learning objectives (Gardner & Wissick, 2000). Another approach is to use highly structured instructional techniques to teach learners how to make good navigational decisions before using the hypermedia lesson. For example, a hypermedia presentation could be developed that presents the strategies, models the steps the students are going to use, assists the students in memorizing those steps, and gives them the opportunity to practice the skills (Lancaster, Lancaster, Schumaker, & Deshler, 2006). Webquests are inquiry, web-based lessons that provide learners with guidance in locating information on the Internet. The format of the webquests imposes structure upon Internet searches by providing specific websites to visit that are closely aligned with instructional objectives.
The design of the instructional material can reduce the cognitive load that students experience. Learners with ADHD attend better when the reading passages are short (Solomonidou, Garagouni-Areou, & Zafiropoulou, 2004). Newspaper-style writing puts the most important information first with expanded explanations that follow. So if learners do become distracted before they finish reading the passage, they will have already read the most relevant information. Passages also can be made shorter by using good chunking strategies, such as breaking down longer passages into shorter segments. Chunking also an be enhanced by using bulleted lists and meaningful headings that define the content and guide the earners in identifying the important material (Hudson, Weakley, & Firminger, 2005; Mariger, 2006). The overall layout of the informational material should be consistent and veil organized. Metacognitive scaffolding support can be provided by limiting the use of fonts and colors so hat when bolding, italics, and color are used, these elements highlight key ideas and concepts on the page (Hudson et al., 2005; Mariger, 2006; Meiert, 2009). Finally, cognitive load can be educed by keeping the navigation consistent across the entire instructional product (Meiert, 2009).
Navigating Hyperspace In the Future
In the future, the Internet is going to deliver more content online faster than ever. The availability of digital books online is rapidly expanding. The Kindle allows a person to carry round a lightweight reader that downloads digital books in seconds. The device allows that same book to be transferred to iPhones. A rather different spin-off of the Internet book is a "vook," which integrates online video with a social computing tool, Twitter, that can also be delivered on digital reading devices (Stone, 2009). This ability to link to more complex types of media will be combined with connecting at exceedingly fast speeds. High-end multimedia and video will be available instantaneously at the click of the button.
Learners also will need to understand how to navigate among variety of Internet tools, such as mobile devices, cell phones, reading devices, gaming devices, the Internet, and television. Learners also will be navigating three-dimensional spaces with interactive touch screens and holographic images. However, the metacognitive load will increase, as the learners will need to know a variety of navigational strategies in many different environments.
Hyperspace will also have a social dimension. Much of the Internet will be organized around people rather than content (Educase, 2008). Not only will learners have to navigate through the information, but they will also need to have social competence to actively participate in instructional environments. Already, learners are engaging in the creation of online content through Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter. Gradually, learners will become more involved in the development of content as they consume instructional material online. Therefore, learners will need both metacognitive and social skills to be successful.
Several tools are currently available to assist learners with navigational decisions. Educators can create pathways for the learner, thus reducing the cognitive load required in making navigational decisions. Courseware management systems offer adaptive release options. The instructor can set the order instructional materials are accessed by releasing the content only when the learner has completed specific tasks. This provides a linear, sequential pathway through the various learning materials, keeping the learner focused. Planning tools are being developed for web conferencing. The instructor can select from a variety of multimedia elements to create a pathway through the learning tasks. Preplanning assists the instructor in delivering the content in a sequential way. Eventually, these planning tools will allow educators to develop instructional pathways for individual learners.
Students with ADHD struggle to develop metacognitive strategies because of the challenges in selecting which stimuli to attend to and in moving information from short-term memory to long-term memory. Poor metacognitive development can be attributed to academic failure. Metacognition also assists in making navigation decisions. Students need to be able to develop, implement, and evaluate a plan for navigation through instructional content without becoming lost in hyperspace. The complexity of navigating through hyperspace will become more challenging as the Internet becomes faster and offers an increasing variety of access tools and types of media. Assisting students in making navigational choices or creating predetermined linear pathways through possible instructional materials will reduce the cognitive load, allowing students to focus their attention on the content.

House Majority Leader Eric Cantor says he hates the sequester:
I don't want to live with the sequester. I want reductions in spending that make sense. These indiscriminate reductions do not make sense.But he doesn't hate it enough to repeal it or replace it with something Democrats and Republicans can agree on. As a result, he says, Republicans will move forward with the sequester.
And we're going to hurt a lot of people. And it's up to the president, really, to act now.So Eric Cantor, who voted for the sequester in the first place, now says it doesn't make any sense. He says he'd like to replace it, but only with spending cuts that target Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and other social insurance programs. Cantor says that unless Democrats agree to such cuts, Republicans will move forward with implementing the sequester—even though doing so will "hurt a lot of people."
In other words, Eric Cantor has outlined the GOP position on the sequester: hurt a lot of people—or hurt even more people. Too bad they won't consider the one option that wouldn't hurt anybody: repealing the sequester.

We're getting closer and closer the fantasy playoffs and you're probably fighting for position. It makes watching games that much more cringe worthy. Why do we do this to ourselves? Instead of just watching the games for fun or because you love your real team, we sit there yelling at the fantasy update because some tight end is being held to one catch for eight yards and you're about to lose to the guy in your office who's in the league for the first time. It sucks, but we love it.
So here's your weekly advice to laugh at, ignore, and then wonder why you didn't consider it. It's kind of a crapshoot week in and week out, but some match-ups just look so easy. C.J. Spiller should do well tonight as Buffalo's featured back, but there's no guarantee as the Dolphins are fighting for their playoff lives against their division rivals. What can you do? Just sit back and enjoy the games…somehow.

Let us give thanks for all that we have been given, for
the things that didn't come wrapped with bows, for things
not asked for but given freely.
Let us open our eyes, open our ears, open all of our senses
to all that there is, and we will see that we've been given so
much more than what we need.
Let us not pray for more, but give thanks for the all we have.

It is the sun that rules us, sets our time and abets our
cleverness so that we call ourselves superior.
The sun warms us, feeds us, guides us, gives us our reference.
When the sun sets, we look for the comfort of our artificial
sun: fire. We didn't discover fire, but how to manage it, from fire
pit to incandescent bulb. We've learned how to simulate it, from
microwave oven to light-emitting diode. Though we are masters
of light, we are afraid of the dark.
The things we love about the night are the things of light, the
reflected sun in the face of the moon, the pin-point suns of a
million miles away, even the ephemeral brilliance of the meteor,
upon which we pin our wishes. We seek even these feeble lights and
hide when we can't find them.
Light is the engine of the living world, plants turn and hormones flow
with the it. As the light fades, and the clamor of the sunnier months
quiets to a hum, the lifeblood chlorophyll retreats from the leaves as
does the inspiration from our veins, we are left with a fading vigor of life.
But, the fading light reveals the beauty within. It reveals the reds,
yellows and purples only given as the light is taken away and it reveals
the light that burns within us all. It is a most beautiful concession.
Our long night is coming, but the fearful journey may be worth it.

Doody's Review ServiceReviewer: Celso Agner, MD, MS, MSc (Michigan Neurology Partners)
Description: Medical board examinations require accurate integration of basic sciences with clinical scenarios. The myth of the difficulty of the neurosciences for the average medical student is dispensed with this book.
Purpose: The main purpose is to explain neuroscience in the context of a variety of clinical scenarios.
Audience: Medical, nursing, physical therapy, and occupational therapy students are the main audience.
Features: Four authors contribute the 48 real-life clinical cases, and a couple of unique features set this apart from other review tools. First, the presentation of clinical cases fits right into the current needs of health science students, since it reflects their real-life experience and the usefulness of neuroscience. Second, it merges bench science with clinical practice and allows students to better grasp difficult neuroscience concepts. Incorporation of neuroscience pearls at the end of each chapter helps the student focus on the key points. The illustrations are adequate and the references, up to date.
Assessment: This is a very useful book for health science students. The integration of real-life clinical cases with neuroscience concepts helps students to focus on the important aspects. This is a superb contribution to the field with little in common with other review books in this field.

From the Publisher"These books are brilliant for taking on the road out to peripheral hospital placements, and cover all the essentials (plus a little bit more) on all the key topics. They have plenty of information to help explain those topics and subjects you see on the wards/in theatre…When time is a little short, and you simply need fast hard facts in an easy to read yet thorough way these books are simply perfect. I have no doubt in recommending them to my friends or any other medical student"

Does anyone have any idea where to buy sea urchin roe -uni? I want to try making this! In our local Asian market they sell something called 'Goni' is this the same thing? I asked at the Market what 'Goni' is & no one could answer me, language barrier problem. You can leave a note on my 'fridge door' if you'd like to with any info about this or post it here {fridge door is better though I'll be sure to get the note! thanks!}
I'm thinking about making this as a filling for profiteroles. Was thinking about adding ginger and lemon to the choux pastry and then piping the sea urchin mousse into them. Does anyone have any thoughts on what I might want to keep in mind when I do this? Thanks for your advice.
This is an excellent recipe. I've made it several times to rave reviews. In Chile the sea urchins have a particularly intense flavor and this recipe suits them well.
Very versatile and unusual dish. Not hard to make but read the directions carefully. Next time I'll use slightly less lemon. This amount was just a bit too much.

To Infinity (Scarves) and Beyond!
Contrary to what you might think based on what you see on À LA MODEST, I actually wear jeans and sneakers a lot. I was never really a jeans-and-sneakers kind of person in the past. Being a girl who likes to move a lot now, it's necessary to wear comfortable clothes. I like wearing statement coats and scarves on top of casual clothes, just to mask the whole laid back and lazy look with something more put together.

Chelsea interim manager Rafael Benitez has revealed that he would love to one day coach the Spanish national team.
The 52-year old is in the Stamford Bridge role at least until the end of the season but says he hopes to succeed current La Roja boss Vicente del Bosque if he can remain in management in a top league.
"I have a good relationship with Vicente," Benitez told Radio Nacional de Espana.
"But I can't rule out one day becoming national coach when Vicente leaves.
"It's something I will look at in the future, although for this I have to continue in elite football and keep doing things well."

Shed some light during Sunshine Week: ideas for fresh open-government editorials.
Reporters will describe how easily citizens can gain access to public records and which local governing body is meeting in secret. They will quote experts and report the facts.
It is important work that helps create an informed public. What is missing, though, and what editorial pages can do best, is pull it all together. We can explain why openness matters to readers, why it is essential to a healthy democracy.
Government festers in the shadows. Exposing it to public scrutiny empowers citizens to hold their elected representatives accountable. We all know this, and many of us will write about it during Sunshine Week.
Unfortunately, many of us will also phone it in. Open government is good. Secrets are bad. We have all written that editorial many times, and it bores all but the most wonky readers.
This year, NCEW's Open Government Committee urges you to spruce up your Sunshine Week musings. Spend a little time crafting something that makes this perennial issue fresh.
* This is an election year; find out where declared candidates stand. Ask the ones running for federal office what they think of the current state of things in Washington. Better yet, ask the local ones about access at city hall or the county building. Remind readers that open government should always be an election issue in every race.
* Redaction makes a visually interesting page. It quickly demonstrates how withholding key pieces of information can render something meaningless. Redact an editorial or print a redacted government document along with some explanation.
* There is still time to file a few FOI requests of your own. Get something interesting from local or state officials and share.
* Did you know that FOI requests are themselves typically subject to FOI requests? Find a local citizen who has been poking around. Make her and her research the centerpiece of an editorial. Demonstrate that open government laws exist to serve citizens, not just nosy journalists.
And check out the official Sunshine Week Website (sunshineweek.org). It has plenty of resources for enterprising writers tired of rewording the same old editorial.

Taiwan optimistic on Vatican ties under new pope
More News from Agence France-Presse
TAIPEI – Taiwan President Ma Ying-jeou said Thursday he believed ties would deepen with the Vatican, the only European nation that maintains diplomatic relations with Taipei over Beijing, after the election of a new pope.
Ma congratulated Pope Francis, the first Latin American pontiff, and said Taiwan was "honoured to be a partner in peace" with the Vatican.
"Ma is very grateful for the Catholic church's contribution to Taiwan…. He believes that our relations and partnership will continue to deepen in the areas of religion, academe, culture and charity," a presidential statement said.
The Vatican is one of only 23 countries that officially recognise Taipei rather than Beijing, which still claims sovereignty over self-ruled Taiwan even though the two sides split in 1949 after a civil war.
China's communist regime broke diplomatic relations with the Vatican in 1951, and six years later it set up an official Catholic Church which does not acknowledge the pope as its head.
The Catholic Church in Taiwan also welcomed the new pope.
"I think only time can tell how the new pope will handle the Vatican-China issues but for now it's unlikely that the Vatican will establish diplomatic ties with China because of China's refusal to recognise the pope," said Father Otfried Chan, secretary general of the Bishops' Conference in Taiwan.
"Pope Francis is from Latin America and his perspective on Asia is like a white canvas with a lot of room to develop."
The Vatican has indicated that it is prepared to sacrifice its diplomatic relations with Taiwan if religious freedom is guaranteed in mainland China and the pope is allowed to name Catholic bishops there.
Taiwan's cardinal Paul Shan, who died in 2012, was forced to cancel a landmark visit to China in 2011 after Chinese authorities refused to give him a visa. The visit was set to be the first contact between Catholics on the two sides in more than 60 years.

After Oceanic Air Flight 815 tears apart in mid-air and crashes on a Pacific island on September 22nd 2004, its survivors are forced to find inner strength they never knew they had in order to survive. But they discover that the island holds many secrets, including a mysterious smoke monster, polar bears, housing with electricity and hot & cold running water, a group of island residents known as "The Others," and a mysterious man named Jacob. The survivors also find signs of those who came to the island before them, including a 19th century sailing ship called The Black Rock and the ruins of an ancient statue, as well as bunkers belonging to the DHARMA Initiative -- a group of scientific researchers who inhabited the island in the recent past. Lost has won a Golden Globe, 10 Saturn Awards and 10 Emmy Awards.

It took quite a while faffing around in blender to get that thing right. I had a pretty well-defined picture in my mind already, so the first step I did was create the outline of the shape except, instead of letting the wires follow the tetrahedra, I had them start at the vertex then angle down into the five-pointed star. This produced a messy, angular shape, which I had intended to use as a jump-point to a more pleasant version. So I rotated the intersections points a bit and put some more resolution in the arms. At this point though, there wasn't the interlocking of adjacent strands you see here. I also had to figure out exactly how I was going to duplicate the single component across the entire model, since there was no way I could work with the whole thing at the same time! In the end I had to use 4 array modifiers, producing 3, 2, 2 and 5 copies each, for a total of 60 copies of the initial piece. After some fiddling I got the merging working nicely and I increased the rotation to obtain the interlocking. Deciding that using simple subsurf wasn't going to cut it, I replaced the old arm with a new one made of a beveled curve to get a more uniform appearance. After converting it and manually filling in faces/vertex pushing to get it to merge at the intersections, and you have what you see here! Here is the uploaded model page Initially I tried to upload a 3-level subsurfed model - oops - 600,000 or so triangles >_< Just 160k with level 2, thankfully.]]> FishFace 2009-04-17T09:45:41-00:00

Thomas Rhett Akins Jr, better known as Thomas Rhett, is a CountryMusic singer from TheNewTens. He is the son of Rhett Akins, who had a couple hits in TheNineties and switched to songwriting in the noughties (both by himself and as one-third of The Peach Pickers). Thomas Rhett is signed to Big Machine Records, an indie label that is also home to Music/TimMcGraw, Music/TaylorSwift, and Music/RascalFlatts.
Rhett made his debut in 2012 with "Something to Do with My Hands", followed by "Beer with Jesus", both of which made Top 20 on the country charts, but his breakthrough came in 2013 when "It Goes Like This" spent three weeks at the top of the country airplay charts, followed by a second #1 in 2014 with "Get Me Some of That".
!Tropes present:
* CassandraTruth: He acknowledges that "I'd tell everyone but no one would believe it" in "Beer with Jesus".
** [[DidYouJustHaveTeaWithCthulhu Did You Just Have Beer With Jesus?]]
* DoubleEntendre: "Something to Do With My Hands" is full of these.
* RearrangeTheSong: He re-cut the vocal track for the single release of "Make Me Wanna".
* StuffyOldSongsAboutTheButtocks: "Get Me Some of That" is a borderline example as he mentions "shaking that moneymaker".
* ThisIsYourSong: "It Goes Like This".

Customer Reviews of RC Car In A Can - 2 Pack (colors may vary)
Not that great5/22/2012
used for a bit, but doesnt seem to hold a charge, and doesnt work unless you hold the remote closer to the ground. probably wouldnt buy again.
Cute, fun- cars5/22/2012
These cars are easy to charge, last quite a long time between charges, some respond better than others. I have two sets, and the first two handle much better. Trying to adjust them.
Don't BUY....5/9/2012
The toy cars are so small that feel cheaply made. It will not not run on carpet. Battery lift is short that merely last for a few minutes on hardwood floor. The antenna connector on the remote dropped inside that I can no longer to put the antenna on one of the remote. Bad, and expensive little toy.
Not a good car though its good in appearance4/30/2012
I bought 2 cars but completely not satisfied with the performance, though it is good in appearance. When trying to move forward the car with remote, the car moving in circles but not moving in the forward direction at all. Overall i rate this product not more than 2, as i feel it completely waste not worth spending 27$ for this product.
Clever package4/30/2012
Giving as gifts to grandsons - so I haven't opened and played with them - not to say I'm not tempted!
One of the two cars seems to hesitate during moving forward. There may be a bad contact somewhere. Other than that they are a lot of fun.
It an awesome little toy. Great to play for bored people at office.
Miniature radio control cars4/20/2012
These things are well worth the price. I bought them for my twin nephews 10th birthday and they loved them. Such an inexpensive item and its so much fun. I am thinking about buying 2 more so I can bring them to work and race around the office with the guys at work.

The Montana volleyball team dropped to 0-2 in Big Sky Conference play with a 26-24, 25-15, 26-24 loss at North Dakota Saturday night at the Betty Engelstad Sioux Center in Grand Forks, N.D. The Grizzlies held late leads in the first and third sets but were unable to close either out in victory.
Montana fell to 2-9 overall, while UND (5-7, 1-1 BSC) won its first volleyball match as a Big Sky Conference member.
Not finishing winnable sets will be the storyline from a road trip that opened Thursday with a 3-1 loss at Northern Colorado.
After splitting the first two sets against the Big Sky-favorite Bears Thursday, Montana held a 19-15 lead in the critical third set. UNC was able to rally, and the Bears closed out the victory in four.
The Grizzlies held 19-16 and 22-20 leads in the opening set against North Dakota Saturday, and a 17-13 lead in the third. Again, no victories followed.
"We're putting ourselves in position to do something special in these matches, but it just does not seem to be our time yet," UM coach Jerry Wagner said. "We'll get back to work Monday and try to become a team that closes.
"When we figure out how to finish teams off when we get to a certain point, I think you're going to see this team get on a roll."
Montana got 10 kills from junior Kayla Reno and sophomore Kelsey Schile and seven more from senior Paige Branstiter and junior Brooke Bray, but the Grizzlies did not have their Ronni Munkeby.
The UND junior middle blocker finished the match with 15 kills and just one error on .483 hitting. More important, she had three kills late in North Dakota's first-set rally and two more to help close out set three.
No rally was needed in the second set. UND jumped out to a 10-3 lead, and Montana hit -.069.
Schile, who was playing five hours from her Apple Valley, Minn., home, had one of her best stat lines of the season. Her 10 kills came on .240 hitting, and she added six assists, three blocks and a pair of service aces.
Junior Kortney James had 27 assists, 7 digs and 2 blocks. Junior libero Megan Murphey finished with a match-high 16 digs.
Montana both out-blocked and out-dug North Dakota, but the match swung on offense. UND totaled five more kills than the Grizzlies, and they were the turning points in a match that had 10 ties and five lead changes in the first set and 15 ties and seven lead changes in the third.
Montana will seek to win its first league match of the season next weekend when the Grizzlies host Portland State and Eastern Washington at the West Auxiliary Gym.

Evolution fascinates kids--what's your experience?
By MISFIRE
Added: Sat, 13 Nov 2010 22:00:18 UTC
As an atheist with the usual frustrations and the occasional axe I might think needs grinding, I like to focus on the fascinating discoveries science is making. And, I'm terribly sentimental with children.
I don't tend to write sappy posts, but if you don't want to read about my joy at teaching a 4 year old about human evolution, I'll understand. I went to visit an old friend yesterday, an MIT couple with a 4 year old daughter they're raising to understand everything. (So when I say 4, think 7.) The book I chose for her was from the Eyewitness series, on human evolution, so text she couldn't read but great pictures (and illustrations of women evolving, not just men, which is a refreshing trend).
Within two or three minutes of clutching the book to her chest, she came running into the kitchen absolutely beaming, and exclaimed, "Mom! We used to be monkeys!" I can't think of when I'd seen a present better received. Her mother sat down with her and explained that she was almost right, explained the common ancestor, when her daughter pointed at a hominid scull and asked, "Did that used to be in our heads?"
Damn, what a good question; what an elucidating answer it leads to. I was placed in charge of explaining the book to my enraptured little host, and not having kids of my own yet, was thrilled to see how readily she understood the ideas, and what questions she came up with.
What a profound gift to children to have the knowledge and tools to provide them with such fascination. I wonder if other people have similar experiences?
Then I'll get back to commenting on the Catholic church's renewed interest in exorcisms or something; I don't want to get soft.

Stats for 1978 RG final (Borg-Vilas)

Friends, Im a 22 years old Vilas fan, and I allways wants opinions and information about him. Anyone have stats, declarations of the players or any kind of information about the semifinal match at te Masters 77? I would like to know if Vilas was fine physically. I found different versions in various newspaper files. Vilas beat Connors in that Masters, playing a great tennis, but then lost to Borg in semifinals. After that, Vilas didn´t play for months. Some persons talked about ak kind of complex of Vilas against Borg, if Vilas was good physically in that match, it means Borg was really difficult to him, because Guillermo was in a great shape in that moment. Anyway I would have liked to see Vilas playing against Borg in 1977 French Open Final or in the "american tour" that year. Who would win? Some things I read about that match and the links:
"Vilas was a bit slower than in his magnificent second round victory over Connors, but Borg was simply flawless"
Tremendous accusations of a journalist against Vilas and Borg:
Interestant description of the match and some declarations of the players:
I have another question. If ATP had given the number one to Vilas, at least for a month(for example september-october 1977, or at any time that year)You think the rest of his career would have been any different. This affected Guillermo?
And you know what happened in those first months of 1978? Because I read somewhere that he lost in many early rounds, but this does not appear in the ATP site.
Regards to everyone.

This Weekend in Media Irritants
Conan, Peyser, Israelis, and punk
Profoundly disturbing moment of the morning: leafing through The New York Post on the train to work this morning, we found ourselves, remarkably, in agreement with Andrea Peyser. Peyser, who is employed by the Post to be indignant, is today indignant with Conan O'Brien, who on Thursday night's Tonight Show made this joke: "Political experts say that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to endorse a two-state solution for Israelis and Palestinians to live side by side but have no contact. Netanyahu said it will be exactly like being married to a Jewish woman." Peyser used the occasion to rant against comedians for their insensitivity (we thought that's sort of the point of comedy, but whatever); we were initially more frustrated because it's an old, lazy joke. But then we thought about it and realized our problem is deeper: it's an old, lazy joke about suburban American Jewish women. It's not at all a joke about Israeli women. And, ultimately, that's our big objection: "Jewish" is not the same as "Israeli," Conan (and everyone else). But, then, they probably don't teach that in County Cork.
Also in our newsreading and old, lazy jokes: hey, Ralph Blumenthal of the New York Times, it's just hilarious to open your report about a panel at YIVO Institute for Jewish Research on the Jewish roots of punk rock with the two-word paragraph "Who knew?" Oh, and also? Everyone who reads the Times knows.

UPDATE: Supreme Court rules PCAOB violates Constitution's separation of powers principle
by AccountingWEB on printer friendly
The U.S. Supreme Court this week ruled that the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) violates the U.S. Constitution's separation of powers principle because board members are not appointed by the president.
In a 5-4 decision, the court stated that the president must have more power to remove PCAOB members. The five-member board is appointed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission after consultation with the Federal Reserve System's chairman of the board of governors and the Secretary of the Treasury.
"We are pleased that the decision allows the PCAOB to continue without interruption to carry out its important mission of overseeing public company audits in order to protect investors and promote the public interest," said Daniel L. Goelzer, PCAOB acting chairman.
The consequence of the court's decision is that PCAOB board members will be removable by the SEC at will, rather than only for good cause. All other aspects of the SEC's oversight, the structure of the PCAOB, and its programs are otherwise unaffected by the court's decision. Accordingly, all PCAOB programs will continue to operate as usual, including registration, inspection, enforcement, and standard-setting activities, according to the PCAOB.
Today's decision stems from Free Enterprise Fund v. Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, in which Beckstead & Watts LLP, a Las Vegas accounting firm, the Free Enterprise Fund, and Competitive Enterprise Institute claimed that the PCAOB violates the Appointments clause of the U.S. Constitution and the principle of separation of powers. The 2006 lawsuit failed in the U.S. Appeals Court for the District of Columbia Circuit in 2008, when a panel of judges ruled that the PCAOB was in fact constitutional by a vote of two to one.
The PCAOB is a product of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX), and is charged with overseeing auditors of public companies in order to protect investors and the public interest by promoting informative, fair, and independent audit reports. The Act required that auditors of U.S. public companies be subject to external and independent oversight.
"I am pleased that the court has determined that the board's operations may continue and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, with the board's tenure restrictions excised, remains fully in effect. The PCAOB is a cornerstone of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and serves a critical role in promoting investor protection and audit quality," said SEC Chairman Mary L. Schapiro. "We look forward to continuing to work with the board in connection with its mission to oversee auditors in order to protect the interests of investors and further the public interest in the preparation of informative, accurate and independent audit reports."
Barry Melancon, president and CEO of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), said the Supreme Court's ruling is a victory for investors and for the accounting profession.
"The decision effectively fixes the constitutionality of the PCAOB by making board members subject to at will removal by the SEC and, therefore, the president. It sustains the continued function of both the PCAOB and Sarbanes-Oxley. As such, the court rejected a transparent attempt to undermine the post-Enron reforms that have served our financial markets well," Melancon said.
Officials with the Center for Audit Quality (CAQ) said they were pleased that the decision will allow the continued operation of the PCAOB without any changes or legislative action.
"The PCAOB was put in place to achieve the goals Congress embodied in SOX," said Cindy Fornelli, CAQ executive director. "Evidence demonstrates that audit quality and investor confidence have improved since the board's creation. The decision will prevent any disruption to the key activities of the PCAOB, including setting auditing standards and the public company audit oversight process - critical factors in the continued strength and stability of our capital markets."
The National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA) said in a statement that the Supreme Court's reasoning in the case reflects arguments the association made in an amicus curiae brief it filed on behalf of the PCAOB. NASBA called the ruling a "substantial victory" for the PCAOB, as well as for NASBA and for state boards of accountancy.
"With this cloud of uncertainty lifted, the PCAOB can devote more of its attention to independently protecting the public at the federal level, while NASBA's state boards of accountancy continue to do so at the state level," said David A. Costello, CPA, president and CEO of NASBA.

Family of slain Border Patrol agent sues officials
Friday - 12/14/2012, 6:22pm EST
By JACQUES BILLEAUD
Associated Press
PHOENIX (AP) - The family of a slain Border Patrol agent has sued federal officials over the botched "Fast and Furious" gun operation, claiming they should have known it created a risk to law enforcement authorities.
Agent Brian Terry was mortally wounded on Dec. 14, 2010, in a firefight north of the Arizona-Mexico border between U.S. agents and five men who had sneaked into the country to rob marijuana smugglers.
The case was filed Thursday, one day short of the two-year anniversary of Terry's death and a deadline for filing a wrongful death claim in federal court.
Federal authorities who conducted "Fast and Furious" have faced tough criticism for allowing suspected straw gun buyers for a smuggling ring to walk away from gun shops in Arizona with weapons, rather than arrest them and seize the guns.
The lawsuit made publicly available on Friday was filed by Terry's parents against six managers and investigators for the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
The family also sued a federal prosecutor who had previously handled the case but is no longer on it, and the owner of the gun store where two rifles found in the aftermath of the firefight were bought.
The family alleges the ATF officials and federal prosecutor created a risk to law enforcement officers such as Terry, and that the firearms agents should have known their actions would lead to injuries and deaths to civilians and police officers in America and Mexico.
The family also alleged that firearms agents and the prosecutor sought to cover up the link between Terry's death and the botched "Fast and Furious" investigation.
ATF spokesman Tom Mangan declined to comment on the lawsuit. William Newell, the former head of the ATF in Arizona at the time the investigation was conducted, and a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's Office in Arizona didn't immediately respond to requests for comment late Friday afternoon.
The lawsuit said Lone Wolf Trading Co., a Glendale gun store where the two guns found at the shootout scene were bought, should have known that certain people who bought guns in the store were straw gun buyers for Mexican drug cartels.
Larry Gaydos, a lawyer who represents Lone Wolf owner Andre Howard, didn't immediately respond to requests late Friday afternoon for comment.
Pat McGroder, a lawyer for the Terry family, didn't immediately return a call seeking comment.
The "Fast and Furious" operation was launched in 2009 to catch trafficking kingpins, but agents lost track of about 1,400 of the more than 2,000 weapons involved.
Authorities say the ring was believed to have supplied the Sinaloa cartel with guns. Mexico's drug cartels often seek out guns in the U.S. because gun laws in Mexico are more restrictive than in the U.S.
Some guns purchased by the ring were later found at crime scenes in Mexico and the United States.
The probe's failures were revealed _ and later examined in congressional inquiries.
So far, 15 of the 20 people charged in the gun smuggling case have pleaded guilty to charges.
Authorities have a separate case pending in federal court in Tucson against five men charged with murder in Terry's death.
So far, one man has pleaded guilty to first-degree murder. Of the five men accused in Terry's killing, two are in custody, and three others remain fugitives.

Re: X server does start but with wrong refresh rate
I had exactly the same problem as resal but now it works! In a moment of silliness after trying a thousand things, i just told the kde panel (the kubuntu equivalent of kcontrol; which always told me obviousely wrong values) to switch to the lowest frequency possible (51 Hz) and - I had a real nice refresh freq, about 85 Hz.
To be exact, i did this when trying the 9629 driver, and afterwards updated to the 9631. And I am not really sure if everything works now (3d seems slow), but at least I can work this way!
Maybe netllama is right and it is not (really) a driver issue. From the crap that kcontrol displays and other things, I got the impression that it is the _communication_ between the driver and kde thats corrupted.
That everything works fine when I switch back to the oss module ('nv') could be a hint that is is partly a driver issue, even if its not an error as such...

Which card for stereo HMD
I need to connect a stereo head mounted display (i-Visor DH-4400VPD) that has two seperate video input channels to a graphic card. The graphics are to be displayed using OpenGL rendering (two separate images for the left and right eye). So no page-flipping here.
As far as I know nVidia cards featuring TwinView and Quadro can be set up to display in "TwinView clone mode stereo" (or "passive" stereo) mode. Has anyone made positive experience using this mode under Linux who can tell me if my intended configuration is likely to work? Any other aspects that I need to consider? Thanks in advance!
Re: Which card for stereo HMD
Personally I don't have experience with Stereo. Indeed Quadro boards support this as far as I know it works better with "recent" boards than with older ones like the Quadro I. What you want seems to be possible using it but your app might need (OpenGL) optimizations to use it.
Re: Which card for stereo HMD
We have succesfully used a V8 HMD with GF4 TI4400 and TI4600 twinview cards (in Linux).
No problems here,
