as of 10:31, June 20, 2013 by Dr Joe Kiff (Talk | contribs)
Eye fixation or visual fixation is the maintaining of the visual
gaze on a single location. Humans (and other animals with a
fovea) typically alternate saccades and visual fixations, the
notable exception being in smooth pursuit, controlled by a
different neural substrate that appear to have developed for
hunting prey. There are three categories of fixational eye
movements: microsaccades, ocular drifts, and ocular microtremor.
Fixational eye movement has been found in a number of species,
including humans, other primates, cats, rabbits, turtles,
salamanders, owls. Although their existence has been known since
the 1950s, the role and importance of fixational eye movement is
still debated. Reading involves fixating on a successive
locations across the page or screen. Visual fixation is never
perfectly steady: fixational eye movement occurs involuntarily.

Symptoms of Brain Tumors Updated September 18, 2013 Common
brain tumor symptoms tend to be non-specific, mimicking other
illnesses. Many times, symptoms don't immediately raise red
flags that scream "brain tumor" to a physician. Brain tumors are
rare, despite their increasing rate of diagnosis and because of
this rarity, physicians often don't evaluate patients right off
the bat for brain tumors. They may rule out other, less serious
conditions initially. Brain tumor symptoms vary greatly from
person to person because of two factors: where the tumor is
located and its size. The size of a tumor, however, does not
effect severity of symptoms. A very small tumor can cause severe
symptoms. It is all relative to what part of the brain is
affected. Brain Tumor Symptoms Headaches: Up to half of people

Insurance Regulation Matthew Glans and Eli Lehrer – October 1,

Insurance Is Vital to a Growing Economy Insurance is one of the
key institutions that make economic prosperity possible.
Properly designed insurance makes the management of risk
possible and, in so doing, makes long-term planning and
investment more reliable. Insurance markets best accomplish
their risk-management function when insurers are allowed to
charge actuarially determined, risk-based rates that accurately
reflect the risk their policyholders incur. When government
regulation interferes with these price mechanisms, the result is
either rate suppression or a redistribution of the cost burden,
resulting in wealth redistribution from policyholders who behave
prudently to those who take greater risks. Political

succession rules passed in Canada's House of Commons on Monday
with no debate. Any newborn would eventually become Canada's
monarch and head of state, taking on the so-called Maple Crown,
but a male heir would no longer jump the queue over older
sisters. The bill must now be passed in the Canadian Senate,
which is expected to occur in the coming weeks. The proposed

what tonsillitis is as the main question is, “how long does
tonsillitis lasts?” It is an inflammation caused by the
infection of a tonsil. Tonsillitis is usually tender swollen and
red. Mostly, tonsillitis occurs from viral infections. The
viruses are similar to those that cause flu. Painful tonsillitis
is caused by Coxsackievirus, which comes with high fever.
Decreased appetite and a rash may accompany tonsillitis in
severe conditions. Infections from bacteria also cause
tonsillitis even though the occurrence is rare. The most common
type of bacteria involved with tonsillitis is the Streptococcus.

Retweet Hawaii needs to invest in its own energy future By
Jay Fidell Because our energy resources have become so
famous, offshore interests see Hawaii as the Energy State and
are coming here to develop them. In the process, we often treat
those interests more favorably than our own. Is energy the new
tech industry we've been waiting for? No, not really. Make no
mistake: Energy is not tech although it certainly consumes tech.
Tech generates intellectual property; energy generates energy.
And most of the capital for energy projects is coming from
offshore, leaving us more as installers and early adopters than
as principals and stewards. We may be tempted to let global
interests like First Wind do the heavy lifting for the
development of our energy resources, but that's too easy. We
should learn from them and emulate what they do, but we should

5.078603 | 0.574086 | 13 | God, parts 1, 2, and 3 Michael Gilmour, who published an
article some time ago about U2 and Jeremiah, has an interesting
post up at HuffPo comparing U2's 1988 response to John Lennon's
"God" to Larry Norman's 1993 response. This is a cool topic to
explore. Excerpt: Lennon subsumes all religion and all religious
experience without distinction under that catchall concept he
labels God, and blurs sacred texts, practices and beliefs with
human celebrity and the accolades afforded to them, whether rock
stars (Elvis, Zimmerman [= Dylan], Beatles) or politicians
(Hitler, Kennedy). This may explain why U2, rather unexpectedly,
does not use the term "God" at all in their song, apart from the
title. Bono refuses to group all religion together or mingle
sacred language with reverence for renowned individuals. U2's
God song offers instead a far more nuanced understanding of the
Divine, which includes a theological particularity absent from
Lennon's lyrics. No comments: |

upon the experiences of a corporation with a presence in
Washington State. This company currently employs some 7,000
people at its primary site and had made the transition from a
combination of Unix/Novell software to Windows NT. The move was
cost justified based upon the ease of administration and a
reduced cost of ownership, but years into the transition,
administration and licensing costs soared and they were faced
with some harsh realities, particularly when the market took a
downturn and belt tightening became a necessity. Initially, the
company was approached by Microsoft and pitched on the idea of
moving over to the NT Server platform. As any good company would

ideal late-summer soup, right up there with gazpacho made from
the last of the ripe tomatoes. But unlike gazpacho, which can be
whipped together in a blender without once turning on the stove,
traditional beet borscht requires a pretty lengthy stint of

thinking until one day in Fairway when I was indulging in a
favorite pastime: perusing the produce aisle. There, garnet-hued

France, where supermarkets sell cooked beets as a matter of

about half a pound (250 grams) and retailing for only 89 cents.

-3.853434 | 3.216123 | 39 | Whooping Cough (Pertussis) in Adults What is whooping cough
(pertussis)? Whooping cough, or pertussis, is very contagious
and primarily affects infants and young children. Whooping
cough is caused by a bacterium called Bordetella pertussis. The
illness is characterized by paroxysms (intense spells) of
coughing that end with a characteristic "whoop" as air is
inhaled. Whooping cough caused thousands of deaths in the 1930s
and 1940s. With the advent of a vaccine, the death rate has
declined dramatically. Pertussis vaccines are very effective.
However, if pertussis is circulating in the community, there is
a possibility that even a fully vaccinated person could catch
the disease. Babies who are too young to receive the vaccine are
also at very high risk of catching pertussis. The illness can be
very serious, even sometimes fatal, in young infants. Many
babies infected with pertussis have caught it from an adult.
What are the symptoms of whooping cough? The disease starts

premise, unique gameplay, satisfying puzzles, and wonderful
characters make it an adventure game you don’t want to miss.
Dead men, the saying goes, tell no tales. Luckily, this old
adage doesn't apply to the recently deceased central character
of Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective. In Ghost Trick, you take
control of a soul who has no memory of his prior life and is
desperate to uncover the truth behind his mysterious death. This
investigation takes the form of a unique adventure game filled
with terrific characters, compelling puzzles, and a labyrinthine
mystery that keeps you guessing and that pays off in a big way.
Don't let the fact that the main character is dead mislead you:
this lively adventure is a breath of fresh air. You've never
played a game quite like Ghost Trick. Disoriented, you come to
in a junkyard on the outskirts of a city. You don't remember

much depends. If they are closely related to each other, put

then splitting them is appropriate. Also, reusing in different

with care, though. Although it is possible to extend existing

them. They come at a cost (performance, flexibility,

you believe? Via Mediaite: Park Dietz, a forensic psychologist,
believes that to fix that trend two major steps must be taken: a
return to the “emotional tone” of reporting on these events and
a reduction or elimination of biographical and identifying
information about the shooter. Dietz believes the media culture
now helps “incentivize those rare individuals who might be
prepared to act similarly.” According to Dietz,”No amount of
fulfillment of morbid curiosity is worth more lives.” Kelly
believes along with the cries for increased gun legislation in
America, “there are also angry calls for a new journalism.”
People were angered by images of reporters in Connecticut
interviewing terrified children and are “calling for an end to
news as spectacle.” Read the full piece at Salon, here. I'm of
a mixed mind about the idea of interviewing children. On one
hand, they should be protected. But they were also witnesses and

Toothpaste is one of the easiest to apply and most accessible
bee sting home remedies. Toothpaste remedy for bee stings Many
people believe that you must be very careful not to squeeze the
venom sack when removing a bee sting. This is not supported by
research. The most important thing is to remove the stinger as
quickly as possible by any means. Be careful not to break the
stinger and leave it buried in the skin. • Remove stinger as
soon as possible. A tweezers or something like a credit card
that can be used to scrape out the stinger are good tools; a
deft pair of fingers may work as well. • Treat wound with
antibiotic if available. • Apply toothpaste directly to bee
sting wound. Why agent works Many toothpastes contain
glycerine which dries out the venom. Toothpaste is an alkaline
substance which neutralizes acidic venom. If any rash or skin
irritation results, discontinue use immediately. More Remedies

I know by the end of my fulfillment they will." -Lil' Kim Her
provocative attire may be unforgettable (as was the case at the
2000 MTV Music Awards, where she wore a pasted purple sticky
over one breast), but it's her music from albums like Hard Core
(1996), Notorious K.I.M. (2000) and La Bella Mafia (2003) that
keeps everyone interested. Most men equate Lil' Kim with
sexiness because of her provocative -- and sometimes virtually
nude -- dressing habits, but a little mystery never hurt anyone.
Sure we love revealing outfits, but couldn't Lil' Kim leave a
lil' something to the imagination? But man, the cover of La
Bella Mafia did leave us feeling a little sweaty. A sexually
vulgar woman who dresses in a sexually vulgar way is a winner in
our books. We just wouldn't put a ring on that finger, if you
know what we mean. Then again, considering VH1 listed Lil' Kim
at No. 71 on its list of 100 Sexiest Artists, we have to admit
that the girl does bel |

-0.511464 | 10.503779 | -1 | Tell me more × I have some JSON similar to the following:
{"internalArray": {"201": "A", "202": "B", "5": "C", "46": "D"},
"data": "ABCDEFG", "data2": "TSXPIIF"} I use the following
PHP code to decode it: $jsonOutput = json_decode($output); I
would like to get access to the "internalArray" from the JSON
data, so I reference it using the following: $internalArray =
$jsonOutput->{'internalArray'}; When I do a var_dump on
$internalArray object(stdClass)#4 (4) { ["201"]=> string(1)
"A" ["202"]=> string(1) "B" ["5"]=> string(1) "C"
["46"]=> string(1) "D" I figured out that I could cast this to
an array, so I did the following: $internalArray = (array)
$jsonOutput->{'internalArray'}; However, now that I have this
array, I can't appear to access it using values like
$internalArray["202"], $internalArray["201"], etc. When I try
to access it via the keys, it returns NULL. However, when I have
code like this: foreach ($internalArray as $key => $value)

December 8, 2011 A Month With Scala Although I’ve played
around with Scala for the few months, these efforts largely
involved simple scripts and casual reading. It wasn’t until last
month that the opportunity to use Scala in a large scale project
finally arose and I dove right in. The project was a typical
REST based web service built on top of Amazon’s Elastic
Beanstalk, SimpleDB, S3 and Redis*. First off let’s talk about
why I chose Scala in the first place. After spending a good deal
of my last year entrenched in JavaScript and appreciating its
functional nature, brevity and flexibility, writing Java code
became a tremendous chore for me. At the same time, our
developers have grown accustomed to, and appreciative of the
wide array of quality frameworks and tools available for Java,
so a drastic departure was out of the question. This left us
with two viable options: Clojure, and Scala. Ultimately I
decided on Scala as it provided an easier tr |

-3.977893 | 3.826719 | 94 | Sialic acid From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View
original article Jump to: navigation, search Sialic acid is a
generic term for the N- or O-substituted derivatives of
neuraminic acid, a monosaccharide with a nine-carbon
backbone.[1] It is also the name for the most common member of
this group, N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac or NANA). Sialic
acids are found widely distributed in animal tissues and to a
lesser extent in other organisms, ranging from plants and fungi
to yeasts and bacteria, mostly in glycoproteins and gangliosides
(they occur at the end of sugar chains connected to the surfaces
of cells and soluble proteins).[2] That is because it seems to
have appeared late in evolution. However, it has been observed
in Drosophila embryos and other insects and in the capsular
polysaccharides of certain strains of bacteria.[3] In humans the
brain has the highest sialic acid concentration where they have
an important role in neural transmission and ganglioside
structure in synaptogenesis.[2] In genera |

nothing Art Style: Orbient Screenshot HIGH It's the pinnacle
of electronic elegance. LOW The difficulty of the extra stages
verges on insanity. From the pre-purchase trailer available on
the Nintendo Channel, it's impossible to tell what Orbient is
about. It's obviously set in space: there are what appear to be
planets, rings, and a lot of flowing dots, but the rest is
mystery. Clearly, something is happening on screen, but until
actually played, the images are cryptic at best. I'll be the
first to admit that it's not the most compelling video, but
those who find their curiosity piqued enough to risk the $6
download will find themselves richly rewarded. After a brief
and revelatory tutorial, it's discovered that the object of
Orbient is to get a small sphere under the player's control to
touch another that is of equal size, upon which it grows. After
reaching a given diameter, a "target planet" is made to orbit
the player's planet by passing cl |
