Just a quick message. Your profile may say "male" right now. You can change that to female or make it unspecified. The software oddly puts it on male for default. Go to the upper right corner and click your name and then click User Control Panel. On that screen, click the profile tab and it should be the first option to change. You should see male, female, and none specified. Thanks!

Jon Kyl (R-AZ), who served in the U.S. Senate during 1995-2013, was one of Congress's more vocal supporters of conservative domestic and foreign policies, as well as a key proponent of U.S. military interventions and costly strategic weapons programs.Along with like-minded Senate colleagues, including Sens. Joe Lieberman (I-CT) and John McCain (R-AZ), Kyl frequently spoke out about "enemies" across the globe, in particular in the Middle East, championing the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq and U.S.-backed "regime change" in Iran.
In early 2013, shortly after retiring from the Senate, Kyl joined the neoconservative American Enterprise Institute (AEI), where he co-chairs with former Senator Lieberman its American Internationalism Project, a purportedly cross-party initiative meant "to rebuild and reshape a bipartisan consensus around American global leadership and engagement."[1]
Kyl was one of the first senators to call for overthrowing the regime in Iran. In September 2009, shortly after revelations emerged about a secret Iranian nuclear enrichment facility, Kyl declared on "Meet the Press," "What we're trying to do here eventually is to get a regime change with a group of people in there that are more representative of the Iranian people, who we really can talk with in a way that might end up with a good result. I think it's very difficult to do that with the current leadership and especially the elected president." Asked whether he was calling for military action against Iran, Kyl responded that "you don't take any of options off the table."[2]
Kyl also promoted increasing U.S. troop levels in Afghanistan in support of controversial counterinsurgency efforts pushed by both rightist advocacy groups and liberal-interventionist groups, including the Center for a New American Security. Asked on "Meet the Press" in 2009 about calls by military commanders in Afghanistan to increase U.S. military forces in that country, Kyl stated, "General McChrystal makes clear that to successfully pursue this counterinsurgency policy, you not only have to beat the Taliban, but you have to keep them from coming back in. And that's what we haven't had enough troops to do and the Afghan army and police don't have the capability of doing yet.[3]
A longtime proponent of the U.S. nuclear weapons program, Kyl emerged as a key Republican opponent of the Obama administration's push for the Senate to ratify the New START arms control agreement with Russia. In July 2010, Kyl explained his opposition in an editorial for the Wall Street Journal. President Obama, Kyl wrote, "says all of his nuclear policies are rooted in his vision of a world with zero nuclear weapons, a world he claims would be more stable and less likely to suffer a nuclear war. But this position is not grounded in reality, and the policies that flow from it are dangerous and impractical."[4] Kyl ultimately secured some $84 billion in funding for nuclear weapons modernization as part of the treaty's eventual ratification.[5]
Kyl, who was first elected to the U.S. Congress in 1987 as a member of the House of Representatives, consistently complimented his hawkish foreign policies with a right-wing domestic agenda. In 2003 and 2004, for example, his votes "supported the interests" of the National Right to Life Committee 100 percent of the time (and therefore NARAL Pro-Choice America zero percent of the time), according to vote-smart.org. In 2005, on budget, spending, and tax issues, Kyl supported the interests of the rightist Americans for Tax Reform 90 percent of the time, and supported the American Conservative Union 100 percent of the time. (For more on Kyl's voting records, see www.vote-smart.org.)
During the 2006 mid-term elections, Kyl won 53 percent of the vote in Arizona, bucking a trend that saw several hardline congressman (including Pennsylvania Republicans Sen. Rick Santorum and Rep. Curt Weldon) lose their seats, in part because of a backlash against the foreign policies promoted by the George W. Bush administration.
While Kyl was closely associated with the Bush administration's war on terror, it was his stance on immigration that proved to be the lightning rod issue in his 2006 reelection campaign. An opponent of Bush-supported legislation that passed the Senate earlier that year that aimed to ease immigrants' path to citizenship, Kyl used his reelection campaign to hype the purported threat posed by immigrants with criminal records. Among the policies he proposed was forcing undocumented immigrants to return to their countries before applying for a proposed temporary work program, an idea that his fellow Republican from Arizona, Sen. John McCain, harshly criticized.[6]
Kyl's hawkish positions earned him the support of numerous military contractors, who donated generously to his election campaigns, including Lockheed Corporation, Raytheon, General Dynamics, Honeywell International, Veridian Corporation (later part of General Dynamics), TRW, Northrop Grumman, and United Technologies. From 1997 to 2002, Kyl received $3.8 million in campaign contributions—including 26 percent from PACs, of which 88.1 percent came from business, 0.5 percent from labor, and 11.4 percent from ideological or single-issue groups. While on the Energy and Natural Resources Committee, Kyl received contributions from such energy corporations as Bechtel, Enron, Halliburton, Occidental Petroleum, and PG&E. Kyl raised more than $7 million for his 2006 Senate reelection campaign. (For more on Kyl's campaign fundraising and contributors, see his profile on the Center for Responsive Politics' www.opensecrets.org.)
Kyl demonstrated hawkish view from his earliest days in Congress, supporting U.S. military aid to the Nicaraguan Contras in the 1980s. In 1998, he co-chaired (with Lieberman and several Israeli Knesset members, among others) the U.S.-Israeli Parliamentary Commission, which argued that both countries faced imminent threats from nuclear-armed ballistic missiles. According to a September 1998 Center for Security Policy "Decision Brief," commission members were invited to share their concerns with the so-called Rumsfeld Missile Commission, a congressionally mandated body led by Donald Rumsfeld that was heavily criticized for exaggerating the threat of ballistic missiles.[7]
Kyl joined fellow Republican Senators Jesse Helms, James Inhofe, and Robert Smith in orchestrating the defeat of the 1996 Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT). The main point of contention on the CTBT was the issue of underground nuclear weapons testing, which the treaty prohibited. Opponents contended the United States would be unable to deter "rogue" nations from developing nuclear weapons unless it could test its own stockpiles. Treaty supporters argued that testing was unnecessary; physicists and the directors of the three nuclear labs pointed out that the existing Stockpile Stewardship and Management Program adequately tests the safety and reliability of stockpiles without underground testing.
Kyl also proved to be one of the Senate's most vociferous promoters of militarist policies in the Middle East. His calls for "regime change" in Iran date back to at least 2003, when he promoted Senate resolutions aimed at tightening sanctions and isolating the regime in Tehran (for more on these resolutions, see Right Web Profile: Coalition for Democracy in Iran). Kyl also cosponsored the Iran Freedom and Support Act, which is subtitled, "A bill to hold the current regime in Iran accountable for its threatening behavior and to support a transition to democracy in Iran." Commenting on the bill, Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) said: "While this bill makes a point of so-called not using force against Iran, be assured this is a stepping stone to the use of force, the same way that the Iraq Liberation Act was used as a stepping stone."[8]
On Iraq, Kyl criticized calls during the final years of the Bush administration to reduce the U.S. military presence there. In September 2007, for example, he told CBS's Bob Schieffer, "I don't know of any responsible foreign policy or military analyst that doesn't appreciate that a premature withdrawal would have severe national security consequences. The president has talked about it. Secretary [Robert] Gates has talked about it. General [David] Petraeus has talked about it. Start with Iran—leaving a vacuum in Iraq for Iran to fill would have disastrous consequences for us. The genocide and ethnic cleansing that would probably occur if the Iraqi forces are not able to keep peace and stability there would be blood on our hands, in effect."[9]
After Israel's summer 2006 offensive against Hezbollah, Kyl and other senators introduced a resolution "condemning the actions of Hezbollah and fully supporting Israel's self-defense efforts." In September 2007, Kyl and Lieberman spearheaded an amendment urging the State Department to label Iran's Revolutionary Guards officially as a "foreign terrorist organization." The non-binding amendment, which passed 76-22, says that "it is in the critical national interest of the United States to prevent Iran turning Shia extremists in Iraq into a 'Hezbollah type force,'" according to the Agence France Presse.[10]
Ties to Advocacy Groups
Kyl joined numerous neoconservative-led causes aimed at widening U.S. Mideast intervention. He served as honorary co-chairman, along with Lieberman and George Shultz, of the reincarnated Committee on the Present Danger (CPD), the Cold War-era anti-communist group that was revived in 2004 with the declared intention of "protecting and expanding democracy by supporting policies aimed at winning the global war against terrorism and the movements and ideologies that drive it." CPD members have included a number of well-known rightist and neoconservative figures such as Frank Gaffney, Newt Gingrich, Jack Kemp, and Jeane Kirkpatrick.
In a July 20, 2004 op-ed for the Washington Post addressing the nature of the "present danger," Kyl and Lieberman warned that one of the biggest challenges facing America was dissent over the administration's efforts to fight a global war on terrorism: "The leaders of the Democratic and Republican parties have so far stood firm in their commitment to finish the job in Iraq and to fight to victory the war on terrorism. But that bipartisan consensus is coming under growing public pressure and could fray in the months ahead. Although the tide is turning in the war on terrorism, a political undertow in this country could wash out our recent gains. We must not let this happen."[11]
Like the latest version, the first two iterations of the CPD—in the early 1950s and again in the mid-1970s— consisted of policy elites committed to raising bipartisan congressional and public support for increased military budgets and a more aggressive global military posture. Both committees proved extremely successful—the first winning broad support for militant Cold War policies, and the second undermining the politics of détente and arms control. All three incarnations have defined the "present danger" as threats to U.S. national security from abroad and internal passivity in the face of these external threats.
Kyl has also served as the honorary co-chair, along with former CIA chief James Woolsey, of the National Security Advisory Council of the Center for Security Policy (CSP), a hawkish policy institute that cited the CPD as a model when it was founded in 1988. Led by former Reagan administration official Frank Gaffney, CSP claims to be "a non-profit, non-partisan organization committed to the time-tested philosophy of promoting international peace through American strength." CSP's advisory council is chock-a-block with neoconservatives and hardliners, including Morris Amitay, former director of the American Israeli Public Affairs Committee; Kathleen Bailey of the anti-arms control group the National Institute for Public Policy; William Bennett; Midge Decter, former head (with Donald Rumsfeld) of the Committee for the Free World; and former Bush administration officials Richard Perle and Douglas J. Feith.

Duct tape is perhaps the best invention after air conditioning. It helps us fix things and hold things together. But duct tape is much more versatile than that. All sorts of things can be made out of it. The first thing most of us made was a duct tape wallet (it's sort of the classic). But there's so much more you can make - and in an explosion of different colors, too! And now we've got a big selection of Duct Tape DIY Supplies for you to choose from.
None of the boring grey duct tape for you - our Duct Tape DIY Supplies are bright colors and robust colors and sparkling metallics. Heck, there's even glow in the dark!

That's right, you'll be able to cut out your own duct tape shapes and/or cover much larger areas than just a regular roll. We used some Duct Tape DIY Supplies and cardboard to make a quickie Iron Man torso and arm (pictured), just to test 'em out. Worked like a charm - just like duct tape always does. Duct Tape DIY Supplies - get some tape and show us what you can do!
Please Note: Glow in the Dark sheets and rolls are closer to gaffer's tape; they don't have the full weather-resistant properties of regular duct tape. But they glow, so they're still awesome!

Forbes drafted a list of the NBA's 10 most overpaid players by comparing a player's Win Shares and salary, and the results were a bit unusual, as the list included a number of the league's biggest stars along with some of its most notorious salary cap albatrosses.
One of the players on the list -- Spurs forward Stephen Jackson -- disputed his No. 8 ranking following San Antonio's shootaround on Saturday. The must-see video of Jackson's comments is available on Spurs.com.
"I've been underpaid my whole career," he said, smiling. "You do the math. It's adding up. Who cares? Whether they think that or not, I'm still getting paid almost $10 million this year."
The list's full top 10: Carmelo Anthony (Knicks), Ben Gordon (Bobcats), Joe Johnson (Nets), Hedo Turkoglu (Magic), Dirk Nowitzki (Mavericks), Corey Maggette (Pistons), Rudy Gay (Raptors), Jackson, Chris Kaman (Mavericks) and Arron Afflalo (Magic).
"That don't make no sense," Jackson said. "Dirk and Carmelo? Seriously? ... I'm happy to be on that list. If Dirk and Carmelo Anthony are on that list, I'm doing a great job. My life is going in the right direction."
Jackson, 35, is indeed making $10 million this season in the final year of his current contract. His 13-year career earnings top $68 million. He's averaging 6.1 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 19.6 minutes per game for San Antonio this season.
The "overpaid" discussion led Jackson to lightheartedly note that the list's creator was "somebody who is dying inside, probably." It also prompted Jackson to take a trip down memory lane in search of his own "worst contracts" list from the past.
"I can name at least 10 people that are overpaid," he said. "One is the worst of all time and I played with him. Jim McIlvaine. He robbed the league with no mask, no type of weapon. He just went and said give me all those hundreds, 99 million or something? And he played one year in Seattle and New Jersey. Jim McIlvaine should be number one. At least I've got a championship."
Jackson was a member of the 2003 title-winning Spurs. McIlvaine, a 7-foot-1 center, played seven seasons with the Bullets, SuperSonics and Nets, posting averages of 2.7 points and 3.1 rebounds per game. He earned at least $32.1 million over his career, according to Basketball-Reference.com. He retired without winning an NBA title.Hat tip: @JMcDonald_SAEN

A few decades ago, doctors believed that ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, also known as ADD) was a childhood condition that everyone outgrew. But research has shown that around 50 percent of children diagnosed with ADHD will have symptoms of the condition as adults and require treatment. More than 4 percent of American adults are thought to have ADHD. Like children with ADHD, adults with ADHD have trouble focusing to the point where it affects their work, family life and social relationships. They can also be impulsive, but hyperactivity becomes less common, which is part of the reason adult ADHD can be difficult to diagnose.
ADHD doesn't develop in adults; it must be present since childhood. However, not all adults with ADHD have been diagnosed as children. For one thing, medical professionals, educators and parents were not as skilled at recognizing ADHD decades ago as they are today. Also, some very bright individuals, as well as those from very structured, supportive home environments, may have been able to compensate for their ADHD during childhood, but have trouble coping when college, career or family life require more multi-tasking and focus.
Not everyone with ADHD exhibits all the symptoms of the condition, and effects can range from mild to severe. However, for some ADHD can lead to a stalled careers and troubled relationships because of behaviors like chronic procrastination, difficulty completing tasks, volatile temperament and an inability to listen without interrupting. Several long-term studies of individuals with ADHD have shown that they have lower levels of academic and job success than those without the condition and more troubled personal lives. This in turn can lead to feelings of failure, frustration and unhappiness. Adults with ADHD may suffer from other mental conditions as well, notably depression, and are three times more likely to have substance abuse issues.
Because ADHD is thought to be hereditary, many adults with ADHD face the additional challenge of parenting children who have the same condition. Their struggle is to overcome their own symptoms and create an organized, supportive environment so their children can thrive and succeed. In other words, parents have to control ADHD so it doesn't end up controlling them, recreating the same problems for another generation.
The good news is that many people with ADHD lead happy, successful lives -- especially if they receive appropriate treatment. The vast majority of adults with ADHD symptoms respond well to treatment with stimulant drugs, and behavioral therapy (learning to change negative and destructive behavior patterns). Because adult ADHD is now widely recognized, there are also support groups and social networks in most communities and online so that ADHD adults -- especially parents -- can connect with others dealing with similar problems.

Adult ADHD has the same characteristics as childhood ADHD: inattention and distractibility, restlessness and impulsivity. However, two things distinguish true, clinical ADHD from ordinary distractibility and forgetfulness in adults. First, the symptoms of inattention and hyperactivity must be so severe that they are disruptive to a person's life in at least two of three areas -- work, home and social life. Second, a pattern of symptoms -- even if they have changed over time -- must have first started in some form before age 7. Adults do not suddenly develop ADHD; it's a lifetime spectrum disorder that starts in childhood.
As with childhood ADHD, adults can have one of three subtypes of the condition, primarily inattentive, primarily hyperactive/impulsive, or a combination. But these symptoms play out differently in adults.
Inattentive Type
The ADHD child who forgot his crayons may develop into the college student who shows up for the wrong exam or the lawyer who fails to file key court papers on time. Or she might be a homemaker who can't cope with daily tasks like laundry and picking up kids from school. ADHD adults often progress from having messy rooms as kids to having disorganized work spaces, cars and houses.
Hyperactive/Impulsive TypeAn ADHD adult isn't going to run circles around the conference table, but he may interrupt his colleagues constantly with irrelevant comments, drum his fingers on the table and leave meetings frequently for no reason. He'll start 10 projects and finish few. No one wants to be his partner for a presentation.
Combined Hyperactive-impulsive and Inattentive TypeCombine impulse buying with an inability to focus on unpleasant tasks, such as balancing a bank account or paying bills, and it's easy to see why ADHD adults can sometimes have financial problems. She may also have constant relationship drama and an inability to stick with one partner for any length of time.[pagebreak]
CAUSESNo one's exactly sure what causes ADHD, whether in adult or children, but scientists believe it could be in imbalance in neurotransmitters, the chemicals that regulate how the brain processes and regulates responses to stimuli. Genetics may also play a role. Like many mental conditions, along with other traits ranging from diabetes to alcoholism to red hair, ADHD seems to run in families. However, since the disorder (called minimal brain dysfunction or hyperactivity in previous decades) may have gone undiagnosed, parents will have to look for clues on their family tree. School failures, delinquency, multiple divorces, employment problems and addictions can all be signs that family members may have had undiagnosed and untreated ADHD.

It's much harder to diagnose ADHD in adults than in children. If someone has a documented medical history of childhood ADHD, it's simpler. But twenty or more years ago, when today's adults were kids, ADHD was not as well recognized as it is now, and many children went undiagnosed and untreated. When those adults seek diagnosis and treatment, clinicians not only have to eliminate other possible causes for their symptoms, they must assess their current and childhood behaviors (remember, it's only ADHD if it's been present since childhood.)
Also, since stimulants, the drugs most often used to treat ADHD, can be abused by adults, doctors are under pressure to get the diagnosis right. For this reason, your family physician may feel more comfortable referring you to a specialist, such as a psychiatrist, with experience in diagnosing ADHD.
Not everyone with a messy desk, urge to spend, or failed marriage has ADHD. Adults have complex, time-consuming lives and everyone forgets the occasional doctor's appointment or lets the laundry pile up. In fact, studies show that half to two-thirds of the people who self-diagnose are not found to have clinical ADHD. Ironically, adults who actually do have ADHD are often unaware of their condition -- they're used to the chaos and figure they just can't get a break. It can take the intervention of a spouse or friend, or the diagnosis of their child, to make them realize that their behavior is out of normal range and may be the result of a mental condition, not laziness, incompetence or bad luck.[pagebreak]
When to Talk to Your Doctor
Signs that a person should consider getting evaluated for ADHD include:
- A history of academic or professional underachievement
- Inconsistent work performance
- Difficulty managing daily responsibilities, including finances
- Difficulty with relationships due to forgetfulness and volatile temperament
As with children, the first step will be a thorough review of a patient's medical records and a physical exam. Other physical conditions can mimic ADHD symptoms, so those will need to be ruled out. In adults, sleep apnea and medication side effects can also cause inattention and hyperactivity. Doctors will also want to exclude other mental conditions, like depression and bipolar disorder; however, these can also co-exist with ADHD. It's easy for someone self-diagnosing via Google to confuse these conditions, but a skilled clinician should recognize the difference and treat accordingly.
You'll be asked to self-evaluate using a checklist of symptoms. Some doctors use the DSM-IV (R) criteria, while others use several other rating scales. For example, you may given a list of questions such as "How often do you feel restless and fidgety" and be asked to select options ranging from "Never" to "Very often."[pagebreak]
You can't do much to prevent ADHD -- more and more research links it to genetics. But you can take steps to keep it from wreaking havoc on your life. Simple strategies adults with ADHD can use (with or without medication) include:
- Use calendars. Large wall calendars or computerized calendars and reminders can help you keep appointments and knock off to-dos.
- Keep your work area distraction-free. Clutter-free work areas and desks without windows can help you stay on task.
- Know your best time of day. Adults with ADHD can learn to be in tune with their "internal clock" and schedule demanding tasks for the time of day when they are at their best.
- Set firm time limits. For example, only check email or Facebook every hour, or limit yourself to one favorite TV show.
- Use technology as a reward. If you finish your work, you can use your Blackberry.
- Unplug! It's harder to crawl under a desk and plug in a computer than it is to just turn it on.
Local ADHD support organizations, often run by those who have been in treatment for years, are also good sources of information on organizational techniques.
A long term study of 200 preschool children with ADHD recruited at the University of Pittsburgh and University of Chicago found that parents of kids with this condition are 24 times more likely to have ADHD than parents of children without ADHD. It's a small sample, but given what researchers say about the role of genetics in ADHD, it makes sense that many ADHD adults are parenting ADHD children. That means they face the daunting task of overcoming their own organizational and attentional problems so they can create a calm, structured home environment and manage all the paperwork, appointments and medication required for their children.
Although it's natural for parents to forget themselves and focus on their children, in this case you are helping your child by helping yourself. Parents who suspect they have ADHD should seek treatment in order to function at the level necessary to really support and advocate for their children. It's like the airline safety remind to put your own oxygen mask on first so you're still conscious and can help your child.PARENTS WITH ADHD RAISING CHILDREN WITH ADHD
Parenting a child with ADHD can be difficult, but when a parent also has the disorder too it can make for a very chaotic home. Here are some tips to help you rise to the challenge:
Provide consistent structure and schedules at home. The more routine and predictable your family life is, the easier it is for you and your child to understand and do what needs to be done.
Keep an ADHD notebook. Pull together a binder of all your child's records and educational plans related to ADHD and automatically put in everything referring to your child's problems. Then it will all be in one place when you need it for a meeting with the teacher, your family physician, etc. No more searching through piles of paper.
Outsource your paperwork. Does gathering all the paperwork for the notebook feel like a Herculean effort? Hire a highly-organized friend to help you gather and file all of your child's paperwork, so all you'll need to do is maintain.
Share the burden. If you have a spouse or family member who does not have ADHD, be sure that person takes on parenting tasks that are more difficult for you to do effectively. Be sure you are in agreement about expectations, rules, and discipline. Family counseling can help you discuss and formulate your shared parenting goals, rules and responsibilities.

There is no "cure" for ADHD, but your doctor will suggest a number of treatment strategies that can help control your symptoms and make it easier to lead a normal, happy, successful life. Common treatment strategies include a combination of medication and behavioral therapy.
Counseling, ADHD coaching or psychotherapy can help adults deal with ADHD, most often in combination with medication. Some forms of counseling, often called coaching or behavioral therapy, teach new methods of organization and dealing with ADHD behaviors like impulse buying and bursts of anger. Counseling can also help those with ADHD deal with the fallout of the condition, and poor self esteem caused by failed jobs and relationships. Couples or family counseling is especially helpful because often adult ADHD has as much impact on spouses and children as it does on the individual with the condition. If a parent with ADHD also has a child or children with the condition, parent training can help with strategies to better structure the home environment and family schedule for both parent and child.[pagebreak]
The first line of treatment for ADHD is stimulant medications such as Ritalin or Adderall. Experts estimate that 80 percent of all adults with ADHD get immediate symptom relief from stimulants. (Learn more about these and other stimulants here) For doctors, the response to stimulants is an indication of the accuracy of their diagnosis; if the drugs work, the patient's symptoms probably were the result of ADHD. (There are of course instances where patients are not responsive to the stimulant.) Stimulant side effects are generally less pronounced in adults than children.
If stimulants prove ineffective, Strattera, a non-stimulant, has been approved for use in adults. Strattera increases the levels of the neurotransmitter/hormone norepinephrine to the brain. Researchers think this chemical plays a key role in focus and attention. This drug may also reduce anxiety. Strattera can cause some rare but very serious side effects, including jaundice and other liver problems, and suicidal thinking.
Antidepressants are not approved for treating ADHD, but are sometimes used "off label" to treat adults with ADHD when stimulants don't work. Antidepressants have more unpleasant side effects, including weight gain and loss of interest in sex, than stimulants.[pagebreak]
Currently, medical evidence does not support the idea of alternative therapies for ADHD, although there is some promising research into certain diets and neurofeedback, a form of biofeedback where subjects look at visual images of their brainwaves and learn to control them -- therefore controlling the ADHD behaviors that produce them.
No legit scientific evidence backs up megadoses of vitamins or herbal remedies for ADHD, and these supplements are so poorly regulated that you can never be sure what you are buying.
If you do wish to explore complementary therapies (those done in conjunction with, rather than as an alternative to, conventional medicine), try those that are first of all harmless, and second can benefit your health in some way, even if they're not proven for ADHD. Examples include yoga or eliminating food additives from your diet. But always consult your doctor first.
Read more about alternative therapies for ADHD here.[pagebreak]
Your clinician may want to review work or school records, so ask for copies of performance reviews and school records, and bring them to your appointment. Adults with ADHD are often less aware of their condition than others around them, so your doctor may want to interview your spouse or partner or close friends. It's a good idea to bring your partner or a friend for support, to take notes (you may be too overwhelmed to remember everything the doctor says), and to give an outside perspective on your behavior and history. Your doctor may also want to interview your parents and even give them questionnaires about your childhood behaviors.[pagebreak]
Fifteen years ago Lew Mills, now 53, realized his daughter was having trouble with social relationships. He also realized that he had some issues with completing tasks (it had taken him 30 drafts to finish his PhD thesis). But even though he's a psychologist and his then wife is a psychiatrist, they didn't recognize the symptoms in their own family.
His daughter, Erica, now 24, was diagnosed that year in the fourth grade, but Mills went to several doctors before being diagnosed. Both he and Erica are bright and not hyperactive, which made their ADHD more difficult to recognize. Several years later Mills son Matthew, now 17, was also found to have ADHD.
"The hardest thing was just staying organized," says Mills of being an ADHD parent with two children with ADHD. "Having a kid means remembering who you have to pick up from a soccer game and who has to go to the dentist. I wasn't particularly good at it. I was always making excuses and apologies, and that was very stressful."
Mills and both his children were treated with stimulants, which he says "made a huge difference." Erica and Matthew also had therapy and coaching. The family used elaborate calendars to keep track of schedules and planned everything well in advance. "Everything has to be overly organized not to fall apart," says Mills. He also admits that it is very helpful to have one parent without ADHD to keep things under control.
"I think you can raise kids successfully. I think it takes more energy and commitment than you'll ever know coming in. All the years in teachers' or principals' offices the advocacy, research and, work that goes into it is immense. But I think you can have a really good outcome. In some way it's helped my kids to face some adversity," says Mills.[pagebreak]

BABSON PARK, Mass. – After winning the 2012 New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference Championship on Sunday, the MIT women's tennis team was well represented on the 2012 All-Conference teams released by the league today. Topping the list was junior Lauren Quisenberry (Corpus Christi, Texas) who was selected as the NEWMAC Women's Tennis Athlete of the Year, the second time she has won the award. Freshman Victoria Tam (Rolling Hills Estates, Calif.) was named the Freshman of the Year and Head Coach Carol Matsuzaki was selected as the Coach of the Year. In all MIT led the NEWMAC with nine all-conference selections.
Quisenberry, who earned her previous Athlete of the Year award as a freshman, was also a first team All-NEWMAC pick at No. 1 singles where she was undefeated at 5-0. She also teamed with Tam to earn first team honors at No. 1 doubles, with the pairing going 4-0 in conference play.
Also getting first team All-NEWMAC nods were junior Julia Hsu (Knoxville, Tenn.) and sophomore Vynnie Kong (Cupertino, Calif.). Hsu was the first team pick at No. 6 while Kong was the selection at No. 2. In addition to the No. 1 doubles team of Quisenberry and Tam, MIT saw its other two doubles teams get first team honors, giving the Engineers a sweep of the first team doubles selections. At No. 2 it was the pairing of senior Candace Wu (Yorba Linda, Calif.) and Hsu, with the No. 3 team of sophomore Michelle Dutt (Gurnee, Ill.) and freshman Sunnie Lampl (Bluemont, Va.) also garnering first team honors.
MIT also had three second team All-NEWMAC picks in singles. Tam was picked in the No. 4 position, Dutt was selected for her play at No. 5 and Wu received the nod at the No. 3 singles slot.
Matsuzaki earned Coach of the Year honors after leading MIT to its first conference title since 2002 and fourth overall. She has guided the team to a 10-1 overall record during the fall campaign, including the perfect 7-0 record in NEWMAC play. It is the fifth time that Matsuzaki has been selected as the NEWMAC Coach of the Year.

Andres Iniesta, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have been rewarded for their exploits over the past 12 months by being named as the three players on the shortlist for the 2011/12 UEFA Best Player in Europe Award.
The trio emerged as the leading candidates from an initial 32-player list for the award after a round of voting from 53 journalists representing each UEFA member association.
Messi has been installed as the early favourite to defend the crown he won a year ago following his record-breaking goalscoring season for Barcelona.
The Argentina international scored an incredible 73 times in 60 games for Barca, beating Gerd Muller's 39 year old European goalscoring record.
Ronaldo, meanwhile, played an instrumental role in ensuring Real Madrid beat Barcelona to the Spanish title for the first time since 2008, with Los Blancos breaking new ground in terms of points gained and goals scored.
Iniesta was named the Player of the Tournament after Spain's historic triumph at Euro 2012 earlier this summer.
Juventus' Andrea Pirlo was polled the fourth highest amount of votes, followed by Spain midfielder Xavi in fifth and La Roja captain Iker Casillas in sixth.
Chelsea's Champions League final hero Didier Drogba was seventh in the voting, while former teammate Petr Cech was tied eighth with Atletico Madrid striker Radamel Falcao.
Germany international Mesut Ozil made up the top 10 after another impressive season at the Santiago Bernabeu.
The top three will now go into a deciding vote in Monaco during the Champions League group stage draw on August 30.

Attorneys General Continue Grandstanding Against Craigslist
from the it-makes-headlines dept
So, take a guess what's happening now. Once again, 17 attorneys general (down from in the past) have sent a letter demanding that Craigslist shut down the "adult services" section of the site (which, it should be noted, Craigslist only created in response to AG pressure in one of these earlier settlements). What's ridiculous about this is that it's a complete "head in the sand" approach that these AGs are taking towards their jobs. In fact, this is the exact opposite of them doing their jobs. Rather than actually going after any criminals who use Craigslist -- as some smart law enforcement officials do -- these AGs are actively pushing this activity further underground where it will be harder for them to stop it. And they're doing it by focusing in on the highly emotional claims of "child trafficking" on the site -- as if those involved suddenly will stop trafficking if they can't post to Craigslist.
Frankly, it's sickening. These 17 attorneys general are effectively demanding that Craigslist stop making it so easy for them to find people involved in child trafficking. Here's a great way for these AGs to actually do their job and to use the tools readily available to track down, capture and stop human traffickers, and their response is to grandstand and blame the company that helps them do that. Rather than fighting human trafficking, these AGs are further enabling it.

James Gaffigan conductor
Stephen Hough piano
This, the second of our concerts featuring Stephen Hough performing Brahms, opens with another new piece by Jonathan Lloyd, this time for the BBC SO winds. Brahms�s Piano Concerto No. 2 is an epic, highly symphonic work, the longest written up to that time. Famous for the glorious cello melody that opens the slow movement as well as a corruscating and innovative Scherzo, this masterful concerto is hugely admired by Hough. Completing the cycle of Tippett symphonies we reach the first, a work conceived while Tippett was in prison as a conscientious objector and completed as war ended in 1945. Bursting with vitality and insistent rhythms, it has many of hallmarks of his later style, with a darkly Purcellian set of variations and a highly wrought double fugue to finish.

Introduced by BCMG Artist-in-Association John Woolrich
BCMG celebrates Britten�s centenary with a programme of early works, framing them with similarly small-scale pieces from composers with close connections to him.
Elegy for solo viola is an affecting, technically assured work, composed in a single day by the 17 year-old Britten. Crafted a year later, Going downhill on a bicycle is an experimental, almost Schoenbergian piece for violin and piano. Throughout his life Britten enjoyed writing for specific performers and composed his Phantasy Quartet, when just 19, for the leading English oboist of the day, Leon Goossens.
One the fascinating things about these early Britten works is that although beautifully crafted, they show Britten at a crossroads, before he knew what direction his music would take. His Suite, for violin and piano from 1935, is more characteristically Britten, showing that at 21 the young composer had started to find his voice.
No composer mattered more to young Britten than Alban Berg, whose Four Pieces for Clarinet and Piano are the composer�s only true miniatures. Oliver Knussen met and was encouraged by Britten when young, and Henze�s Olly on the Shore pictures BCMG�s Artist-in-Association standing on the same stretch of Suffolk shoreline that Britten called home. Copland�s smoky, blues-inspired Nocturne and ukulele pastiche Serenade date back to before he first met Britten at his home in Snape.

Many composers are deeply identified with the music of their homeland. Antonin Dvorak�s music is laced with Slavic melody, and his work was essential in creating a Czech musical style. Igor Stravinsky�s early music speaks to the power of Russian folk music. But both composers spent vital years in the United States, and were profoundly influenced by the experience.

Ingo Metzmacher conductor
Johan Reuter baritone
High, gleaming sonorities and a sense of enchantment link Wolfgang Rihm�s new piece with Mahler�s beguiling songs from the magical folktae collection, Des Knaben Wunderhorn, sung by the much sought-after Danish baritone Johan Reuter. Songs of a very different kind permeate Shostakovich�s dramatic 11th symphony, an almost cinematic evocation of the 1905 Revolution. The composer wove nine popular revolutionary songs into his dramatic portrayal, with its ominous, icy opening and terrifying Bloody Sunday massacre during which 1,000 workers were gunned down. Shostakovich chose the dark-toned violas for his poignant lament for the dead, before a tumultuous finale that whips up an urgent fervour for justice.

Gis�le Vienne - choreographer, artist, and puppeteer - has created a world marked by terror and trouble, the lively mixed with inertia, and perception trapped by hyperrealism. Her new creation, The Pyre condenses abstract, figurative, and narrative writing and pushes the intense relationship between Gis�le Vienne and the text by Dennis Cooper to its limits. Vienne and Cooper have worked together since 2004. A dancer and a boy, totally mute, evolve in a luminous installation reminiscent of contemporary urban lighting - the city, the club.

Fran�ois Verret will begin his vast 5-year project "Chantier 2014-2018" at IRCAM, passing through Paris, Grenoble, and Edinburgh. Chantier 2014-2018 combines sound fragments and vocal trenches, acoustic and optical landscapes, visual haikus, and the utterances of a ventriloquist. An on-the-fly assembly of tableaux vivants inspired by the hallucinations of those who come back from the battlefield, haunted by the ghosts of History; time is sometimes paused to show us the true nature of a still life. Chantier 2014-2018 is written like an improvised and premeditated journal, intermittent and collective. A crucial movement or the unique way the space has been arranged undermines the masterful authority of speech, of fiction, or of a date.
How does one expose an event, be it trivial or historical, sifting through uncertain, fading, outrageous memories? In his "pre-posthumous works", Robert Musil describes the agony of a fly caught in Tanglefoot, the threat of a flying arrow, a buzzing of iron in the southern Tyrol sky above the lines of combat. A horrifying feeling of foreboding mixed with an unexpected happiness.
Constantly on the lookout for these moments of shock, Fran�ois Verret, as a playwright, engages a group of close artists-actors, dancers, musicians, and video artists-simultaneously in his research lab.
Where to start? In the very environment of the front lines.

Matthew Barley - Cello
Matthew Barley celebrates 100 years of Benjamin Britten with an ambitious national tour during 2013 which will involve concerts, workshops and special events in at least 100 venues across the UK.
In what promises to be an intriguing solo show, showcasing his ever-growing virtuosity as a world-renowned cellist, Barley places Britten�s powerful Third Cello Suite � dedicated to and first performed by the great Russian cellist Mstislav Rostropovich � at the centre of a programme which also includes a suite by JS Bach, who greatly inspired Britten. The programme also includes solo cello music by Tavener and specially-commissioned new works by Dai Fujikura, James MacMillan and DJ Jan Bang.
Not content with convention, as ever, Barley has commissioned visuals which will accompany the performance of the Britten from Yeast Culture (the team behind a number of critically acclaimed films including the Rite of Spring installation with the Philharmonia Orchestra). The new works by Fujikura and DJ Bang fuse cello with computer technology.

�The sound references are never used anecdotally; every one of them is integrated by Kagel�s extraordinary harmonic imagination into a world in which nothing is what it seems, and in which every new vista contains a genuine surprise.� Andrew Clements
Discover The Pieces of the Compass Rose, an extraordinary musical travelogue taking you from the north east of Brazil to the Gulf of Finland via the South American Andes. This is a rare performance of all eight movements, inspired by places located at each point of the compass relative to Kagel's native Argentina.
The distinctive sound of the salon band orchestration is accompanied by a huge array of unusual percussion instruments: cushions, a conch, even an axe chopping wood. A composer whose cultural and musical outlook embraced a life lived crossing continents, The Pieces of the Compass Rose is Kagel's response to the diverse soundworlds evoked by geography, language and ethics.

Wow, everything's coming together...
It's a shame it won't be explained why K1 can recall Onikakushi though.
I have to say though... while understandable, K1 breaks down into tears a lot in this ep...

Wow... I'm shocked.
For once, they got everything right. Sure, a pile of details are missing, but this epsiode actually managed to make itself look like a proper adaptation of the game story.
For many people, this episode should be the most revealing yet, and full of impacts.
They did skip 3 big events from the story, one of which would've helped clear up the whole thing better, the other is a foreshadowing of the next scenario, and the last one is past talk. But none of them are really necessary.
Spoiler for :
Best scene in the episode? Obviously:
I gotta say though, Keiichi's "gutsy" talk was really approaching the cheesy level in this episode. It all sounded fine in text form, but when spoken out loud so emotionally like that (good job, Hoshi-), it's just comical. Combined with Yukari-chan suddenly going into "dark" mode just like that, もうわけわからん
Oh, and good job restoring Akane-san's youth, Deen.
And finally, it looks like they had to give up Rena's last visit @ Keiichi's house (no time left for that in the end)... Too bad, I almost felt like crying when they did this.
But still, they managed to set themselves up nicely for the finale. The final episode next week should be a thrill to watch. (・ω・)

Give me things to draw!!!
This episode was so touching, really. First I was thinking, wow, Rena, calm down! I worry for her. Then Keiichi's "past" was ! But then all the scenes after that were just heart warming. Keiichi remembering Onikakushi, Rika realizing this... and then going up to Mion and hugging her~
This episode is making me depressed it ends next week. Damn you Deen, dissapoint me, and then get me excited at the last minute!
At least I'm finally reading the sound novels! (Though at a snail pace, can't wait till school work slows down...) Aaah, happiness. I am so tempted to just skip the question chapters to the answer chapters, but I'll keep myself from doing that...

Yah, nice episode...Keiichi's "memory" of his Onikakushi life was pretty sweet as was the hugging scene and Satoko's reaction.
In terms of where the anime will cut out, I am hoping someone will do scanslations of the manga that cover the remaining arcs as they become available...certainly any compassionate help at all from those who are in the know about the remaining arcs will be greatly appreciated. As it is, I can't thank kj1980, Sushi-Y, and Lost Blue enough for all their patient work on the TIPS thread as well as answering questions, etc. Excellent work guys!
It really is a crime that Studio Dean has dropped the ball so hard after Onikakushi...it's like watching a series of mostly Yashigani episodes...orz. If they had delivered the rest of the series at the same level, this could have become my favorite anime series. As it is, though, I think it's one of the best stories to get attempted as an anime, at least (if not very successfully handled). The DVDs could still redeem them, but to do so, the amount of work that needs to be redone is monumental, so I doubt it will be enough.
Here's hoping episode 26 ends on a strong production note, at least...

Superb. After last week's episode I almost dropped this series (because I didn't approve of Deen's treatment on the first place), but I'm glad I watched this episode. I hope they end this the right way (and HEAVEN OR HELL has to be epic!!!).
8 out of 10. Now we can only hope...

Actually, I think Tsumihoroboshi-hen was the only chapter where Keiichi and Rena got _________ in the end? Game players who were too distracted by the final TIP probably didn't notice that.

For once I am quite satisfied. Too bad they left out Keiichi's confession of his past deeds, but that can be arranged (See TIPS #130).
But I still get the feeling that DEEN could've done better to show Rena's descent into madness (she still looked a bit normal from me up until the half point). The game did a good job at this by gradually changing Rena's text color from white, to pink, then into blood-shot red. It sent chills down my spine at the time when I first realized that effect when they made the red text stand out over a dark background picture...
As people have mentioned, yes the anime music pales in comparison to the original soundtrack used from the game. It's like: game = dramatic and at times, frightful >>>> anime = just plain cheesy. With that in mind, I am rather disappointed in Kawai Kenji at this point.
I'm glad to see Sonozaki's ane-san (seiyuu pun intended of course) back being a MILF!! Now if only they would do the same fountain-of-youth thing for Kuma-chan as well www
We're now left with the final episode...all I wish is that they don't screw up the best scene ever and the final plot twist at the end.

Finally got to watch the ep...
Surely it was quite a jet-speed, but I could feel their desperate attempt to fit (too) many events into merely 25 minutes of an episode and not ruining it.
I had voted 7 out of 10 , but as I write this I actually think I should've put a better score.

Finally watched episode 25, and I actually got most of the dialogue! Hurray!
This was the best episode in a long while, the hug was great, the awakening cheesy but sad... Loved it when the cop panned Takano's notebooks as bullshit occult fiction. "What? This one blames it on aliens/demons/enchanted lunatics on motorcycles?" Harsh.
In Onikakushi-hen, Rena didn't have memories of past lives, and could only hold out her bloodied hands imploringly.
This time, Keiichi is armed with foreknowledge. How will it be different...? Maybe he'll beat some sense into Rena with his trademark bat.
And the last TIP for this episode is stunning. Perhaps for the bulk of the TIP Rika is talking to "Oyashiro". Then at the end she's talking to "Satoko". Or Satoko=Oyashiro.
Is there any hint in the TIP itself (text color, pagination, etc) that provides a clue as to whether Satoko is also who Rika is talking to from the beginning? Or is it again all white text on a black background?
Good to know someone is having the same pains as me. Fighto...
(This also means I won't be spoiling myself with Minagoroshi-hen and Matsuribayashi-hen information. Hopefully these threads will still be archived in the event that I actually finish those final chapters)

From Leopard Gecko Wiki
What is an Enigma?
An Enigma is a Leopard Gecko which is a dominant morph. When classifying an Enigma, there are a few common features which all Enigmas seem to have. When they hatch out, their spots tend to be blotches rather than bands. When looking at their tails, the tails are almost all white. As they grow older, the spotting increases and sometimes turns into speckles.
The Enigmas are considered a random genetic mutation. In 2006, Mark Bell produced the first Enigma when it randomly hatched out of one of his Leopard Gecko groups.
The genetics of the Enigma, are very interesting. As of right now, there has yet to be a proven homozygous version of the Enigma, so currently, the Enigma trait is acting as a dominant trait.
Enigma Crosses
Albey from Albey's "Too Cool" Reptiles and Matt Baronak from A&M Geckos have crossed the Enigmas into the Tangerine Lines producing some different looking Tangerines. Examples can be seen below.
Albey Scholl from Albey's "Too Cool" Reptiles has hatched the World's first Tremper Albino Blazing Blizzard Enigma. It can be seen below. With the Tremper Albino Blazing Blizzard, there are two recessive traits in play, Albino and Blizzard, and a dominant trait, Enigma.
Murphy Patternless
The Murphy Patternless Enigma is a combination morph: one dominant trait (Enigma) and one recessive trait are in play (Murphy Patternless). In the case of the the Murphy Patternless Albino Enigmas, there are two recessive traits (Albino and Murphy Patternless) in play and one dominant trait (Enigma). A&M Geckos was the first to produce an Albino Murphy Patternless Enigma on June 27, 2008.
This is the world's first Tremper Albino Murphy Patternless Enigma (Cadolini).
This is an eye shot of a Murphy Patternless Enigma (Cadolini).
A couple of breeders have been able to produce BEE's or Eclipse Enigmas. In the BEE's, one dominant trait (Enigma) and one recessive (Eclipse) trait are in play. The result is an Enigma with solid black eyes. Mack Snow Enigmas have been produced with solid black eyes, but the eclipse trait is not in play.
The color expression of the Enigmas is interesting nonetheless. The eyes of the Bell Albinos tend to be red while the Tremper Albinos have orange colored eyes. Just like the other albinos, the body of the Enigma Albinos do not express black pigments.
The Bell Enigmas were the original Albino Enigmas. As mentioned above, they do not express black pigments and their eyes are red.
Bell E.m.fasciolatus Cross
Matt Baronak from A&M Geckos has crossed the Enigma trait into Bell Albino Eublepharis macularius fasciolatus.
This is a Bell Albino Enigma Eublepharis macularius fasciolatus (Baronak).
The Tremper Enigmas were the second type of Albino Enigmas to be produced. Like the Bells, they do not express black pigments either. They also have orange eyes rather than red.
This is a Tremper Albino Giant Enigma (Cadolini).
This is a Tremper Albino Mack Snow Enigma (Baronak).
On June 24th, 2008, Alberto Cadolini hatched the first Rainwater Albino Enigma. It can be seen below.
This is the world's first Rainwater Albino Enigma (Cadolini).

A Super Nova currently is considered the Holy Grail of combination morphs. It is a cross between a Super Snow, RAPTOR, and an Enigma. Currently, the closest company to producing a Super Nova is A&M Geckos who have recently produced a Nova and a Dreamsickle.
This is an Enigma x Red Stripe cross from A&M Geckos (Cadolini).
This is a Male Enigma, double het for Bell Albino and Blizzard, produced by HISS (Locke).
Enigma Issues
Since the Enigmas were first created there has always been talk of genetic or neurological issues with them. Some of the symptoms described by Enigma owners include spinning in circles, extreme light sensitivity, tendency to be easily stressed, and lack of eating.
Currently there is a study going on at Texas A&M University. It consists of an Enigma group that shows symptoms, an Enigma group that does not show symptoms, and a group of Normal Leopard Geckos. The purpose of the study is to find any correlations or causes of the issues above.

Hi All,
I returned to work in July and continued to breastfeed baby. I breastfed before work, expressed at 10am, went home at lunchtime, Breastfed after work and then again before bed. When I expressed I sometimes got over 8 ozs per session! Managed to build up a great stockpile which has now nearly run out..
Over the last few months, I have dropped some feeds and until last week was left with morning, lunchtime and evening feeds. Unfortunately, work have abolished my extended lunchbreaks so I have tried expressing at lunchtime and can now only get 1oz at a time and it's causing a lot of discomfort. Because of this, we have now dropped the lunchtime feed as baby loves his solids and water/very diluted fruit juice.
Last night he woke up screaming several times and his belly was rumbling - He nearly ripped my top off trying to get at me! I'm really worried I'm now not producing enough milk at all. I tried to express a few nights ago and gave him one of my last pouches of expressed milk and I can't get more than an oz out at any time of day!
I have an operation tomorrow (endometriosis!!) and because of the general anaesthetic, I can't breastfeed for 24 hours and also can;t express enough. I have one 7oz pounch left for the morning or evening but this won't be enough! Could someone please give me advice? My friends and family are all suggesting formula top-ups but after this long I really don't want to do this! Was trying to keep the evening feed until 12 months at least....
Thanks for your help/advice!
