Fast and furious. That's the way Fairhaven coach Jeff Perry likes to see his girls basketball team play, and he wasn't disappointed in a 64-39 win over New Bedford.
FAIRHAVEN — Fast and furious.
That's the way Fairhaven coach Jeff Perry likes to see his Fairhaven girls basketball team play, and he wasn't disappointed in a 64-39 win over New Bedford on Wednesday.
"We want to run the ball and put up a lot of shots," Perry said. "We have good outside shooters and Kay (Mullen) and Mariah (Nicholas) are good rebounders who can clean things up for us on the boards."
A 6-foot-1 senior center, Mullen scored the first two baskets of the game on offensive rebounds and the Blue Devils also got seven early points from senior point guard Ashley Brown and five points from Nicholas, a 5-10 junior forward, on their way to building a 16-0 lead in the first 3:32.
"Ever since our (67-49) loss to Voc-Tech, we've been showing up with a purpose," Perry said. "That loss might have been the best thing to happen to this team, because it got everybody's attention."
Brown finished with a team-high 18 points for the Blue Devils, who also got 15 points from Nicholas and 10 from Mullen. Perry pulled all of his starters after the third quarter with his team comfortably ahead by a score of 55-27.
"Our starters played great. They came out hitting on all cylinders and that set the tone for us," Perry said. "Everybody got a chance to play tonight and that was good to see."
The Whalers were led by junior forward Alyssa Kellick, who made some nice shots on the baseline and scored eight of the team's 12 points in the fourth quarter en route to matching Brown with 18 points.
WHAT IT MEANS: The victory was the sixth straight for the Blue Devils (8-2, 7-2 South Coast Conference), who have scored over 60 points in five of their last six games. The loss dropped the Whalers to 1-14. They're 0-2 in the Big 3 Conference.
NEW BEDFORD COACH JASON BENNETT: "We moved the ball for some easy baskets, but it was another tough night shooting the ball. We're getting better and the kids are playing hard, but we're still a work in progress."
SOUTHCOASTVARSITY.COM STAR OF THE GAME: Brown, who did all of her scoring in three quarters and used her speed to get to the basket and push the ball effectively on the fast break.
NEW BEDFORD STATS: The Whalers made 17 of 65 shots (26 percent) from the floor. They missed their first four shots before senior point guard Kat Guillotte drained a 3-pointer to make it a 16-3 game with 4:21 left in the first quarter. ... They turned the ball over 20 times and made two of four free throws.
FAIRHAVEN STATS: Junior guard Dina Tichon made three 3-pointers to account for all of the team's scoring in the fourth quarter. ... The Blue Devils did not commit a foul in the first and third quarters. They were whistled for four team fouls — three in the second quarter and one in the fourth. ... They committed only four turnovers in the first half and finished with 15 for the game.
NOTES: The Blue Devils have a key stretch of South Coast Conference games coming up. They host Wareham on Friday and league-leading Old Rochester comes to town on Sunday for a 2:30 p.m. matchup. They play at Old Rochester on Tuesday and travel to Bourne on Friday, Feb. 1. ... The Whalers are off until Thursday, Jan. 31, when they host Duxbury.
New Bedford (1-14, 0-2 Big 3)
Kat Guillotte 1-0-3, Alyssa Kellick 8-2-18, Jocelyn Dillard 2-0-4, Caitlyn Medeiros 2-0-5, Chandrea Grant 3-0-7, Julissa Maldonado 1-0-2. Totals: 17-2-39.
Fairhaven (8-2, 7-2 SCC)
Kay Mullen 3-4-10, Mariah Nicholas 5-5-15, Ashley Brown 5-7-18, Macy Roderick 2-0-4, Briana Pelton 4-0-8, Dina Tichon 3-0-9. Totals: 22-16-64.
New Bedford 11 9 7 12 — 39
Fairhaven 24 17 14 9 — 64
3-point goals: NB-Guillotte, Medeiros, Grant; F-Brown, Tichon (3).

It's interesting once you really start learning about a topic how many things seem to jump up off the page (literal or web related) to show you examples of the truths you have been investigating. Such as my interest in self-publishing and why it appears to make a lot of sense which has been gleaned (but not limited to) J.A. Konrath's blog, "A Newbies Guide to Publishing".
Numerous posts are written about publishing houses keeping the truth of book sales and money being made that are hidden from the author with strange sales tallies and accounting practises by many different authors.
As a rank outsider of the publishing industry with only a few rejection letters to my name so far, the niggling thought in the back of my mind as I read these blogs has always been… "really? It's really this bad for writers?" The allure of having a Big 6 company saying my work is good enough for them to publish is a great enticement to a new writer.
For a long time I've wanted to read Ken Follett's book "The Pillars of the Earth". I've read so many reviews, heard by word of mouth that it's a great story and personally the historical blend of the story is right up my alley, but finances just haven't allowed me to splash out of such a treat.
The Salvation Army has a special place in my heart for many reasons, but one area of service from the church that I really appreciate at this point of my life is the Thrift Shop / Sally Ann stores selling all number of second hand goods at very reasonable prices. Especially wonderful are the sale days. Because as a 'bookaholic' without the budget to maintain her addiction even at the second hand shop prices, being able to buy books cheaply is bliss, and being able to pick up a copy of Pillars for 99 cents was damn near orgasmic!
I'm sure you can imagine my surprise to read within the Preface these words penned by Ken Follett himself:
One day I was checking my royalty statement from New American Library, my U.S. paperback publisher. These statements are carefully designed to prevent the author from knowing what is really happening to his book, but after decades of persistence I have learned to read them. Page 8
I'm willing to bet that the publishers were less than amused at having that written in the paperback edition of a best-selling book – but it is yet another confirmation of the truth behind the groundswell of authors, what they are complaining about and why so many are making the move to self-publishing. And suggests that my long term love affair with the idea of a publishing house publishing my books requires some serious reconsidering.
But as my debating teacher once taught me, for every opinion, there is a flip side that makes just as much sense. Rather than re-inventing the wheel, here is a good argument from Nathan Bransford for sticking with the tradition publishing route.
I'm still not sure which way is the right way but I do know I need to keep writing.

One of London's most favoured cultural landmarks and regular hit with the tourist brigade, St Paul's Cathedral, is today overshadowed by the official opening of a new neighbour – Jean Nouvel's One New Change. The colossal mixed-use facility offers 340,000 sq ft of office space and 220,000 sq ft of retail and restaurant facilities in the historic Cheapside district in London's city centre.
Developed by Land Securities and designed by Jean Nouvel with Sidell Gibson Architects and engineers Arup, One New Change experienced something of a rocky start. True to form, staunch traditionalist Prince Charles made his feelings towards the glass and steel hulk clear from an early stage, attempting to have Nouvel thrown off the project when he learnt of the architect's appointment. Next came a barrage of protests from a forum of local residents brainstorming derogatory titles for the mixed use facility.
Against all the odds One New Change is due to open today at noon, its 6,000 glass panels glittering in the hazy sunshine that is London in late October. Colour has been an issue for many critics of Nouvel's latest creation, the rusty brown hues fuelling negative reviews from online bloggers who labelled the design 'a gigantic piece of tat' and even 'a turd'. These reviews have been mixed with excited retail enthusiasts who argue: "Anybody who works in the area would tell you there are too few shops in the area. If you come to Cheapside at the weekend it's dead. Not even your Prets and Starbucks are open so hopefully it will inject a bit of life."
The hope that the internal offerings of the immense mixed use structure will be enough to silence Nouvel's critics is a far fetched one however, as the close proximity to the 17th century iconic beauty of St Paul's Cathedral seems a bitter pill for many to swallow.

Bio4Energy and the Solander Science Park are joining forces to host this year's Bioenergy
conference—an annually recurring event by Nolia conference organisers aimed at business leaders, policy makers and scientists interested in bioenergy and biorefinery research and development.
Given at Pite Havsbad at Piteå, on the east cost of northern Sweden, 14-15 November, the conference will see Bio4Energy researcher line up to describe the latest scientific advances globally as this relates to the development of methods and tools for conducting efficient and sustainable biorefinery and to develop bioenergy techniques.
As a second strand, well-known Swedish experts on the commercialisation of research results will be discussing ways in which to boost innovation and to create meeting places for academia and their counterparts in industry.
Breakthroughs such as the invention by Bio4Energy researchers of a cellulose-based renewable material to replace plastics or aluminum in food packaging—a new material entirely derived from a waste product of the biorefinery process at Domsjö Fabriker—will be described. So will efforts to make ultra thin membranes that can remove undesirable emissions from various industrial processes or serve to separate liquids. These are but a couple of examples of what the Bio4Energy researchers have to offer.
"It is important that we create fora for researchers and business people to meet".
In fact, the innovation strand of the Bioenergy conference will be a red thread uniting the five renewable energy conferences that Nolia will be organising concurrently as its annual Energy and Environmental Week. From this year, Nolia will offer a conference pass giving access to all five conferences, meaning that those who purchase it may pick and choose between sessions on Bioenergy, Biogas, Energy Efficiency, Solar Energy or Wind Energy.
"It is about producing growth in the region", said Johan Hedin, project leader at the Solander Science Park, who has been hosting several editions of the Solander Symposium which this year changes its name to Bioenergy. He added that, for the team at the Solander Science Park, Bio4Energy was a "natural choice" of conference partner because of the foothold it had at its three partner universities and in the wider region.
"Bio4Energy was a natural choice for us since you are a strong actor in bioenergy research in northern Sweden", Hedin said. The Bioenergy conference "is an important signal to the region.
"If the researchers manage to make industry aware of their discoveries, and make (industry representatives and entrepreneurs) see that the research results are of use to them, then new ideas can be borne and progress happen", he said.

A months-old campaign to pressure the Marine Corps to end its three-year-old sponsorship of the Las Vegas-based Ultimate Fighting Championship has reached the highest level at the Defense Department.
A coalition of Nevada-based union members, veterans, gay rights activists and anti-violence organizations recently delivered a letter to Defense Secretary Leon Panetta -- care of his wife at their California policy institute -- asking him to direct the Marines to cease working with promoters of cage-fighting events. "We believe the homophobic and sexist statements of people associated with the UFC are deeply at odds with the values of the Marine Corps and conflict with the Defense Department's stated commitment to tolerance and respect for diversity," the letter said.
Petitions signed by more than 10,000 people were delivered to Marine Corps recruiting stations in Boston; Chicago; Los Angeles; Miami; Missoula, Mt.; New York; Phoenix; San Diego; Seattle; and Washington, D.C., as well as to officers at the Marine Corps Barracks in Washington, organizers said. The protesters object to the Marines' spending $2 million on recruitment ads featuring the cage-fighting events on television and YouTube.
The campaign is coordinated by UNITE HERE, whose membership of culinary, hotel and casino workers has been struggling for years to organize workers at casinos owned by Frank and Lorenzo Fertitta of Zuffa LLC, the parent company of the Ultimate Fighting Championships, or UFC.
Using the theme "Unfit for the Corps," the campaign has assembled a video documenting comments made in interviews, broadcasts and Twitter dispatches by UFC promoters or participants considered offensive to gays and women. They include jokes about rape and threats by participants and threats to commit violence against journalists as well as references to acts by Jerry Sandusky, the former Penn State University football coach recently convicted of serial child molestation.
"Taxpayer money should not be used to support homophobia, misogyny and hate speech, in any form," says the website, which is backed by groups such as the National Center on Domestic and Sexual Violence, Protect Our Defenders and Veterans For Peace.
In July, Marine veterans working with the organizers sent a protest letter to Marine Commandant James Amos saying they were offended by "commercials that juxtapose images of Marine Corps soldiers training and fighting for our country with UFC fighters….The Marine Corps should not trivialize service to our country, which entails tremendous sacrifice, by comparing military service with cage fighting for money."
The Marines responded with a letter from R.J. Peterson, assistant chief of staff for advertising at the corps' Quantico, Va., recruiting command , saying, "Professional mixed martial arts…, like many other sports, is an excellent programming venue to reach a large portion of the Marine Corps' enlisted and officer recruiting prospects—young men, ages 17-24."
However, he added, "the issues articulated in your correspondence regarding inappropriate conduct, alleged or substantiated, of UFC competitors and leadership are an area of concern that has been addressed via our contracted ad agency with UFC."
Marine Corps public affairs spokesman Maj. John Caldwell gave Government Executive a similar statement. "The UFC has been forthright in addressing the issue and [we] have proactive measures in place to deal with those isolated transgressions," he said. "We continue to monitor the issue and evaluate the effectiveness of our advertising and lead generation activities; additionally, we reserve the option to respond accordingly."
UNITE HERE regarded the Marines' July response as unsatisfactory and proceeded to approach the Defense secretary though his wife, Sylvia, at the Panetta Institute for Public Policy.
Defense Department spokeswoman Eileen Lainez confirmed to Government Executive that the department "has received the letter and will respond as appropriate. The Marine Corps has expressed its concern to the UFC regarding the issues raised in the petition, and has confirmed UFC is addressing them. The Marine Corps will continue to monitor the issue."
UFC management views the controversy in the context of its ongoing clashes with UNITE HERE over organizing workers at the company's casinos. A spokeswoman said in a statement that "as a loyal supporter of the men and women who serve and protect our country, the Ultimate Fighting Championship is proud of its three-year partnership with the Marines and would like to set the record straight regarding recent disparaging remarks by an outside group with ulterior motives."
UFC says the UNITE HERE culinary local has spent a decade attacking and "harassing" majority owners Frank and Lorenzo Fertitta over workplace issues in their casinos, and that the dispute with the Marines is a tactic in their ongoing battle to unionize casino workers.
"There unfortunately have been isolated instances where athletes have made insensitive or inappropriate comments," the statement continued. " The UFC and [its affiliated company] STRIKEFORCE through their code of conduct, do not condone this behavior, and in no way is it reflective of the company values."
UFC President Dana White, the statement said, has apologized for his inappropriate conduct. "The connection between the UFC and the Armed Forces runs deep," it continued. "The company makes all of its UFC programming available to troops around the world through the Armed Forces Network, free of charge. We have hosted events at Ft. Hood, Ft. Bragg and Miramar raising over $12 million for the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund."
UFC and STRIKEFORCE require corporate employees and independent fighter contractors to participate in a mandatory course in sensitivity training and host regular fighter summits to tackle these important issues, the statement said. UNITE HERE cites a poll on the official blog of the Marine Corps showing that 65 percent of respondents as of July 31 agreed that the Marines should cut ties with UFC if veterans complained. The group plans to raise the issue with members of Congress.

Raiders cut ties with another high draft pick, waiving LB Rolando McClain
ALAMEDA, Calif. – The Oakland Raiders have waived linebacker Rolando McClain less than three years after drafting him eighth overall.
McClain is the third player drafted in the top 10 by late owner Al Davis to be let go so far this offseason by second-year general manager Reggie McKenzie. Defensive back Michael Huff (seventh pick in 2006) and receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey (seventh pick in '09) were cut last month.
Oakland has only two of its own first-round picks on the roster in running back Darren McFadden and kicker Sebastian Janikowski as McKenzie overhauls the roster. There are only 15 players left who were part of the organization at the end of the 2011 season.

New Aster supports up to 0 different languages such as in scripts.
Please note that not all languages are available for all formats.
This book and newspaper font was designed by Francesco Simoncini in 1958. After the Second World War brought type design to a standstill, the years of reconstruction meant a reconsideration of old values in the typographical world as well as in Europe in general. Aster is the result of this movement, displaying instead of Modern Face influence, a tendency toward Transitional characteristics and giving text a light feel. New Aster is an improved version which was made by Linotype Design Studio.

McDonald\'s Corp.\'s is down 1.6% on Thursday as one of the worst-performing of the 30 stocks in the Dow Jones Industrial Average after the fast food monolith posted its first drop in same-store sales since 2003.
McDonald\'s signaled trouble on Oct. 19 when it said its fourth-quarter comparable sales were trending negative, but its October same-store sales drop of 1.8% came in worse than the expectation for a 1.07% decline in a survey by Consenus Metrix.
In the U.S., same-store sales fell 2.2% in October, with McDonald\'s citing, \"modest consumer demand and heightened competitive activity\" which offset the impact of its local Dollar Menu advertising.
Some of that competition is coming from Wendy\'s , up as much as 5% during the session despite losses in the broad equities market. Earlier this year, Wendy\'s beat out Burger King for the No. 2 fast food spot in the U.S. based on restaurant sales.
Wendy\'s adjusted third-quarter earnings of 3 cents a share fell two cents short of the average analyst estimate in a FactSet survey, the company said Thursday. But Wendy\'s sweetened the deal for shareholders by doubling its dividend to 4 cents a share and setting plans to buy back $100 million in stock.
Adding some pepper to its prospects, the company said it expects its fourth-quarter results to benefit from the 47 restaurants that reopened late in the third quarter and early in the fourth quarter with a freshened image. In another boost, the Dublin, Ohio, firm also managed to increase its third-quarter same-store sales by 2.7%.
McDonald\'s is accustomed to competition. It\'s taken on Starbucks Corp. in recent years by ramping up its coffee and breakfast offerings, for example. Wider use of bacon in its meals has also driven interest.
And it\'s got plenty of resources in its pocket. With a market cap of $87 billion and a presence around the globe, McDonald\'s dwarfs Wendy\'s market value of less than $2 billion.
But sometimes when you get really big, it\'s harder to grow. At least for the moment, Wall Street seems to prefer Wendy\'s menu for investors.

Development of Prey 2 has not been cancelled, but its release has been delayed beyond 2012, said Bethesda in a statement today.
"The delay is due to the fact that game development has not progressed satisfactorily this past year, and the game does not currently meet our quality standards" reads the statement.
"Prey 2 has shown great promise and we regret disappointing our fans. We have made a substantial investment in game development to deliver the experience fans want. We are determined only to release the AAA game that fans rightfully expect, and are unwilling to compromise our quality standards to meet a release schedule."
Prey 2 enjoyed a very positive reception when it was shown at E3 and GamesCom last year, but whisperings of trouble development trouble recently led to rumours that it may have been cancelled. This official statement refutes those claims.
This means we might not see more of Prey 2 for some time yet, though it's still quite possible that the game will make an appearance at E3 2012 in June. You can read IGN's latest preview right here.

"Dallas" star Jesse Metcalfe and his fiancee, actress Cara Santana, have bought a home in Hollywood Hills West that was listed for sale at $1.599 million.
The 1925 Spanish-style house has been restored and features a courtyard with a fountain. There are five bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms and 2,362 square feet of living space in two stories.
Metcalfe, 34, plays Christopher Ewing in the remake of the TV series "Dallas," which began last year. He played teen gardener John Rowland on "Desperate Housewives" from 2004 to 2009 and starred in the films "John Tucker Must Die" (2006) and "Beyond a Reasonable Doubt" (2009). More recently, Metcalfe starred in the crime thriller "Chase" (2010-11).
The property previously changed hands in 2002 for $1.15 million, according to public records.
Matthew J. Altman and Joshua Altman of Hilton & Hyland were the listing agents.

text: I would suggest these two tools that noone mentioned: - parted http://www.gnu.org/software/parted/parted.html GNU Parted is a program for creating, destroying, resizing, checking and copying partitions, and the file systems on them. This is useful for creating space for new operating systems, reorganising disk usage, copying data between hard disks and disk imaging. - partimage http://www.partimage.org Partition Image is a Linux/UNIX utility which saves partitions in the ext2fs/ext3fs (the linux standard), ReiserFS (a new journalized and powerful file system) or FAT16/32 (DOS & Windows file systems) file system to an image file. The image file can be compressed in the GZIP/BZIP2 formats to save disk space, and split into multiple files to be copied on removable floppies (ZIP for example), ... Partition Image will only copy data from the used portions of the partition. For speed and efficiency, free blocks are not written to the image file. This is unlike the 'dd' command, which also copies empty blocks. Partition Image also works for large, very full partitions. For example, a full 1 GB partition can be compressed with gzip down to 400MB. This latest one seems to be very interesting: in the development version there will be also the possibility to copy using network and SSL encryption. They need testers to debug code!

I'm going to guess we all should think twice about where we get our tea. Scary stuff. I pay a few bucks more to get those veggies known to be pesticide sponges. Now, I suppose that it is time to do that with tea.
O_o I find it hard to believe this report. It's way too long and unnecessarily detailed. Stresses the point too much and, obviously, the fact that teavana, apparently, tried hard to acquire the most pesticide-rich teas is rather unlikely…
According to this article, Teavana does deny the allegations, and claims that the "investigator"/Glaucus Research could gain financially from the information. A former ethics employee, I find fault with Glaucus Research for pointing the finger and not looking at themselves first. (Although they do admit they are biased.)
But the issue of pesticides should still be addressed. Teavana denies it. Pesticides can be linked to cancer. Maybe an independent could investigate? If I knew what to do, I would do it myself.
Teavana claims that all their tea is tested by a third party. They could easily dispel Glaucus's claim by releasing the results of those many many tests they say have been done.
That would totally clear this up. Yet no response. Wonder if we'll ever see any of their "results?" I'll hold my breath. ;)
The word organic is thrown around a lot with companies these days. Most consumers aren't informed enough to/don't have the time to/don't want to research every single purchase they make. It's not just Teavana.
I also can't sit here and say "DIE TEAVANA!" after reading this. For one, I am SURE that if I tested the teas in my cupboard, they wouldn't be the only offender (if they did come up with insane amounts of pesticides…). I also can't freak out knowing that next to my tea cupboard, there sits at least one bottle of soda and one processed food item. I do the best I can with what I put into my body, but I know full well that I am not perfect. I drink tap water, you know?
There seems to be a ton of Teavana hate out there, and this report seems to have been written by just another one of the haters.
I guess this whole messed up post is just to say that I can't freak out over every little thing. My husband doesn't drink Teavana tea, and got cancer anyway. I just can't spend every second of my life on the "what ifs?". I just go into it figuring that the tea is better than that soda, and do the best I can, you know?
I agree. I think teavana is a very large company so there is a lot of criticism. A lot of people benefit if teavana fails. I think you need to take a look at each company you buy from big or small. I would be interested to know if similar testing has been done on any other tea companies, and to know the results.
Bubbles, your view pretty much sums up mine.
Here is a little more information on Teavana and their shady business practices:
I am periodically in contact with Austin Hodge, owner of Seven Cups and recently named one of the 10 most influential people in China, as well as Doug Palas, tea buyer for Intelligentsia Coffee and Tea. They both give me insights into buying practices among many different tea buyers.
Austin recently pointed out that Teavana has made several mistakes in trying to buy tea. At one point, they tried to drive the price of a tea from Fujian province to such a low amount that the producers told them to walk away. In my opinion, this lends a window in what Teavana tries to do. It seems that they buy at the lowest price possible, regardless of any sort of justice to the environment, producer, or customer. For me, it is wise to stay away from a company that cares little, if at all, or the welfare of people, and Glaucus, despite their agenda, brings some astoundingly compelling evidence to the table in these matters.
On the upside, Starbucks has Charles Cain on their side, former executive of Adagio teas. Furthermore, Starbucks has more experience doing business with the Chinese, in a Chinese way, which makes the quality of product better. I truly believe that if Teavana can survive these accusations in the coming months, the quality of the teas will increase, simply because of the business savvy of Starbucks, as well as the refined palate of Charles Cain.
Crap. I just discovered this thread after placing a big Teavana order yesterday due to their 75% off sale. I purchased three of the most pesticide-laden teas, according to that report (Gyokuro Imperial, Black Dragon Pearls and Golden Monkey). Teavana's site says sale merchandise is not refundable. I wonder if I should try to cancel the order.
I wouldn't if I were you. If the pesticides were crazy dangerous, I think it's safe to say that people would have gotten sick from them already. As stated, it's likely that a lot of (possibly the majority of) teas have traces of pesticides. Plus it's been claimed that the company doing the research has a lot to gain from Teavana's loss so it is certainly not 100% proven information.
The thing that makes it hard to believe for me is that not that much was said in the full report about HOW they tested it. I'm assuming it was not like that pesticide test kit posted earlier, but on the leaves themselves, which is why if I had the money for 3 of those kits, I'd see how much actually ends up in a cup.
Also Teavana should be in trouble with several federal organizations like the FDA and SEC, along with even crossing continents and being in trouble with the EU and nothing has come of that. I'm actually kind of surprised nothing has come of that, because up until this report came out they most definitely tried to claim pesticide free and are now covering themselves on that one.
I wonder if the report had any influence on what teas they put on sale. Like if they are trying to dump all the old stock of the tea in those reports so they can start fresh.
I also purchased some of the discounted teas, but when I read the details of the report, it didn't look all that bad. For example, in the case of the black dragon pearls (page 58 of the report), which we both bought, the only pesticides above the European level were Acetamiprid (QuLC), which was 0.11 mg/kg over the limit of 0.10 mg/kg, Buprofezin (QuLC), which was .06 vs the .05 limit, and Fipronil (Summe) (QuLC), which was .017 vs the .05 limit. The first two are over the limit by considerably less than the 50% uncertainty the report cites. I'm willing to take my chances on the third. The total amount is about 17 parts per billion.
These limits are generally made very low since the science behind them is very sketchy. In Europe the regulators tend to say better safe than sorry and favor lower limits.
has anybody else tested teavana tea?
Wow… The only Teavana tea I have at the moment is Silver Needle which appears the lowest on the offender list… I sure want to find out more…
Something that always bothers me when people talk about foods or product being organic, is that "organic" does not necessarily mean organic. Different countries, and different states/provinces within countries have different regulations on what is considered organic. For example in Canada, if a product is equal to or greater than 95% organically grown/produced, it can be called organic. Now if a product has multiple ingredients, the definition is different depending on what percentage of the ingredients in the product is organic. I know the definitions in the USA are different as well.
Also if a farmer is organic, that does not mean his neighbours are. So if the neighbouring crops are being crop dusted with pesticides, it will inevitably affect the organic crop, but it still can be called organic.
So I think we all need to be aware when you are buying products, what the definitions mean, and what area that product originated from. You can't always trust labelling or advertising.

Texture Art Deco Armor Ring is rated out of 5 by 1.
Rated 3 out of 5 by CanCan16 from Cute, but not for everyone Very stylish ring, but it's quite chunky. The back of the band is stretchy but even so if you have small fingers it may not fit. Fits best if worn as a knuckle ring. Still love it and I'll be wearing it.

Dressage Protocol Days
Dressage Protocol Days are a great opportunity for riders to learn how to improve the riding of a dressage test in a more relaxed environment, by giving them 'on the spot' access to the dressage judge. Unlike a riding clinic, these protocol days focus on 'how' the test is ridden, rather than whether a rider can walk, trot or canter.
Each rider rides a test, then has the opportunity to talk with the judge who will give feedback on how to improve the riding of the test or individual movements - all with the view to gaining more marks.
It's also a great opportunity to learn about the language used by a dressage judge and gain insight into what they are looking for without the added pressure of competition. It is not essentially different from a rider discussing the test with the judge after a competition except that there is an opportunity to repeat movements.

The 4 South inpatient unit is part of the Washington Heights Community Service where treatment is provided for a variety of psychiatric illness, with a majority of people receiving treatment for a psychotic disorder (e.g., Schizophrenia or Schizoaffective Disorder) or a major affective disorder (e.g., Bipolar Disorder or Major Depression). Given the demographics of Northern Manhattan and the large number of immigrants from Latin American and Caribbean countries, the unit is run on a bilingual basis and many staff members are from Spanish speaking countries. Inpatient staff utilize all therapeutic modalities, including pharmacotherapy, individual psychotherapy, group therapy and family therapy. People admitted to the unit are involved at all stages of their treatment in creating a personalized, recovery focused treatment plan. Moreover, the staff has access to the vast expertise of faculty of the Columbia University Medical School's Department of Psychiatry, as well as to the medical and surgical services of New York Presbyterian Hospital, in order to diagnose and treat medical conditions that arise during a person's inpatient stay.
In addition to providing state of the art psychiatric care, the WHCS inpatient unit serves as one of the major psychiatric teaching units in the New York Presbyterian Hospital system and Columbia University. Psychiatric residents, medical students, nursing students, social work interns, and occupational therapy students all rotate through the service. Supervision is provided by the members of permanent staff in each of the foregoing disciplines, who work in multidisciplinary teams, along with the students, that are dedicated to providing the best care possible. Most people discharged from the inpatient unit are referred to one of the two WHCS outpatient clinics, where they continue to receive culturally sensitive, personalized, comprehensive psychiatric care from psychiatrists and other mental health professionals, many of whom have faculty appointments in the Columbia University Medical School.

Nuke the Punchline: Naked Body Scanners
The TSA is doing away with naked body scanners. They'll be replaced by...
#5 blarg: ...A stage with a brass pole.
#4 tomg51: ...something slower, less effective, more costly, assembled by union hands and supplied by someone's friend from Chicago.
#3 plentyobailouts: ...two midgets and a flashlight.
#2 CTCompromise: ...arming every passenger, so potential hijackers will be out-numbered.
And the best punchline goes to HokieGomer:
The TSA is doing away with naked body scanners. They'll be replaced with such diverse elements as fear, surprise, ruthless efficiency, an almost fanatical devotion to the Obama, and nice red uniforms.
(Again...that never gets old).
Congratulations, HokieGomer!
The best punchline for the last Nuking Politics straight line was from Harvey:
The most surprising thing that happened at Obama's second inauguration was those 4 guys on horses hanging out at the back of the crowd, chuckling quietly to themselves.
Congratulations Harvey! You get no points...
Now here's a line for you guys to ponder quietly...
To celebrate MLK day, Biden...

Rafael van der Vaart cemented his status as Tottenham's new talisman as they came from behind to beat Aston Villa in the Barclays Premier League and once again avoid a European hangover.
Van der Vaart scored twice to take his tally to four goals in three appearances at White Hart Lane, his £8million signing looking more of a bargain by the day.
Not for the first time after a Champions League match this season, Spurs paid for a slow first half and Marc Albrighton's first Villa goal almost handed the visitors a half-time lead but Van der Vaart levelled deep into stoppage time before rifling home a 75th-minute winner to end Gerard Houllier's winning start as Villa boss.
It was a virtuoso performance by the transfer-deadline-day capture from Real Madrid following his Jekyll-and-Hyde display against FC Twente in midweek, demonstrating just how much he will be missed for this month's trip to Inter Milan.
Tottenham fielded a makeshift centre-back partnership today of Tom Huddlestone and Sebastien Bassong, their 10th in 12 games this injury-blighted season, after Ledley King failed a late fitness test.
Even with King available on Wednesday night, Spurs looked too open for comfort at times and today's line-up appeared even more attack-minded.
And they should have been ahead inside five minutes today when Roman Pavlyuchenko nodded over Luka Modric's left-wing cross.
But Villa began to take control of the game and, after a couple of half-hearted penalty appeals, they went ahead.
Terrible defending from Bassong saw him robbed by Emile Heskey down the right and the revitalised former England striker sprinted along the byline before crossing for Albrighton to slide home.
Spurs screamed for a penalty themselves 22 minutes in when Pavlyuchenko's shot hit the recalled Richard Dunne's hand but it was not intentional and Alan Hutton sent the follow-up into the side-netting.
Ashley Young was needlessly booked for deliberate handball and Villa suffered a second blow when lone frontman Heskey limped off to be replaced by John Carew 10 minutes before the break.
Pavlyuchenko wasted another chance to score four minutes later, hooking Gareth Bale's excellent low cross wide from six yards.
Carew and Young both fired over from 20 yards, Brad Friedel was almost caught out by Van der Vaart's skidding effort, Albrighton was cautioned for a foul on Hutton and Young sent a shot on the turn straight at Heurelho Gomes.
Van der Vaart then levelled three minutes into stoppage time when he climbed above Dunne to nod home after Peter Crouch had headed Pavlyuchenko's ball back across goal.
The Holland midfielder was moved from the right into a more central role after the restart, with Pavlyuchenko withdrawn for Aaron Lennon.
The change almost paid dividends in the 51st minute when Lennon stood a cross up for Crouch once again to nod down but Van der Vaart was somehow beaten to the ball by a desperate Stiliyan Petrov lunge.
Van der Vaart saw his next effort blocked by Dunne after being found in acres of space by Bale as Tottenham began to crank up the pressure.
But Villa remained a threat on the break and Huddlestone was looking uncomfortable up against Carew, with the striker and Albrighton both inches from connecting with Young's dangerous cross.
Crouch should have put Spurs ahead 20 minutes from time when he powered a header over the bar after Huddlestone had flicked on Modric's corner.
Moments later, Lennon forced a fine stop from Friedel with a low angled drive and, when he stood up another dangerous cross - this time with his left foot - 15 minutes from time, Spurs took the lead.
Crouch once more claimed the knockdown and this time there was no stopping Van der Vaart as he kept his cool to blast the ball past Friedel.
Harry Redknapp withdrew Modric for Wilson Palacios and Villa soon made a double change, throwing on Stephen Ireland and Barry Bannan for Petrov and Albrighton.
Dunne nodded a late corner off target and James Collins was booked for felling Lennon in full flight, only escaping a straight red by covering defenders.
Lennon was rampant and his latest cross found Hutton, whose shot was blocked before Van der Vaart was substituted to a standing ovation in the final minute, Sandro coming on to make his Premier League debut.

Status: Endangered (55 Federal Register 36641) on September 6, 1990.
Description: Pallid sturgeons have a unique dinosaur-like appearance. They have a flattened snout, long slender tail and are armored with lengthwise rows of bony plates instead of scales. Their mouth is toothless and positioned under the snout for sucking small fishes and invertebrates from the river bottom. Pallid sturgeons can weigh up to 80 pounds and reach lengths of 6 feet, whereas the closely related shovelnose sturgeon rarely weights more than 8 pounds. The back and sides of pallid sturgeons are grayish-white versus the brown color of the shovelnose sturgeons.
Current Range and Status: Today, pallid sturgeons are scarce in the upper Missouri River above Ft. Peck Reservoir; scarce in the Missouri and lower Yellowstone Rivers between Ft. Peck Dam and Lake Sakakawea; very scarce in the other Missouri River reservoir reaches; scarce in the Missouri River downstream of Gavins Point Dam; scarce but slightly more common in the Mississippi and Atchafalaya Rivers; absent from other tributaries.
Habitat: Pallid sturgeons evolved and adapted to living close to the bottom of large, silty rivers with natural a hydrograph. Their preferred habitat has a diversity of depths and velocities formed by braided channels, sand bars, sand flats and gravel bars.
Life History and Reproductive Biology: Sexual maturity for males is estimated to be 7-9 years, with 2-3 year intervals between spawning. Females are not expected to not reach sexual maturity until 7-15 years, with up to 10-year intervals between spawning. Pallid sturgeons are long lived, with individuals perhaps reaching 50 years of age.
Reasons for Decline: All of the 3,350 miles of riverine habitat within the pallid sturgeon's range have been adversely affected by man. Approximately 28% has been impounded, which has created unsuitable lake-like habitat; 51% has been channelized into deep, uniform channels; the remaining 21% is downstream of dams which have altered the river's hydrograph, temperature and turbidity. Commercial fishing and environmental contaminants may have also played a role in the pallid sturgeon's decline.
Recovery Activities: In 1997, through the combined effort of two Fishery Assistance offices, two National Fish Hatcheries, one Ecological Services office, and two State game and fish departments (North Dakota and Montana), two female and three male pallid sturgeons were spawned. Spawning pallid sturgeons from the upper Missouri River had been attempted since 1988, but to no avail. Currently, approximately 5,000 young pallid sturgeons are being reared at Gavins Point NFH. In August, 1998, the Fish and Wildlife Service and state game and fish departments from North Dakota and Montana will stock up to 1,500 of these fish in two areas; at sites near the Missouri and Yellowstone River confluence, and in the Missouri River upstream of Ft. Peck Reservoir in Montana. This release will be the first under a multi-agency 6-year plan to augment doomed adult populations. Since pallid sturgeons do not reach maturity and spawn for several years, we must stock now so that we have adults in the wild as habitats are restored. Without artificial propagation in hatcheries and subsequent population augmentation, this population will likely be extirpated. The juvenile pallid sturgeon we stock under this plan will be the founder population for recovery.
Created March 1998

Complaining about Windows Vista is a national past time on Internet forums these days. Windows Vista 'costs too much', 'has onerous product activation', 'requires too much hardware', etc. These complaints are often followed up by a very simple boast: 'I'm just going to switch to Linux'. But in today's landscape, how viable is that statment? Is the threat to switch to Linux an empty one, or is it entirely possible?"

2014 volkswagen eos Model Overview
Vehicle Overview
Remember the Volkswagen Golf Cabriolets from the mid-to-late 1990s? Well the 2014 Volkswagen Eos is its spiritual successor. Based on the VW Golf, the Eos – named after the Greek goddess of dawn – is a front-drive hardtop convertible powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged I-4, making 200 hp and 207 lb-ft of torque, paired with a six-speed dual-clutch automatic. That combo is good for a 6.5-second 0-60 mph time, and a 22/30 mpg city/highway EPA rating.
The last time we drove a VW Eos, we put it in our top-down rental car competition with the Chrysler 200 Limited Convertible, Ford Mustang V6 Convertible, and Chevrolet Camaro RS Convertible, the Eos came second only to the Camaro. In the comparison, we praised the VW for its engineering excellence, including the metal folding top, which still somehow incorporated a sunroof into it. "Behold the best convertible in this test, and possibly on planet Earth. Just a bit less complex than the space shuttle, this retractable hardtop is the only such device to offer a huge sunroof with shade … crazy cool engineering–Michael Bay should be so ambitious with transforming metal," we wrote. Ultimately we gave the Eos second place because it was easy to like, but not to love.
For 2014, VW doesn't make any big changes to the Eos. All 2014 Eos models get standard navigation, while hands-free keyless entry becomes standard on most trim levels. The Eos Lux has been discontinued for 2014.
New for 2014
The 2014 Volkswagen Eos doesn't get any significant changes this year. The Eos Lux trim level has been discontinued this year, while the whole 2014 Eos lineup gets standard navigation. All 2014 Eos models from Sport up also get keyless entry, complete with push-button start. As is the case with the rest of the VW lineup, the automaker's new Car-Net connectivity system is now an optional extra on the 2014 Eos.

Meet Nils-Matti - a Reindeer Herder in Lapland
Some people prefer winter to summer. Reindeer herder Nils-Matti is one of them.
Finnish Lapland is immense. It covers an area larger than the whole of Portugal, but the concept of Lapland is even larger. Many tourists think that they have reached Lapland when they have barely got halfway up Finland. The further north you go, the better you can understand the true meaning of Lapland. As you travel further north along the outstretched "arm" of north-west Finland, the coniferous forest gradually vanishes from the landscape and the birch trees shrink to a metre in height; the fells begin to rise around you in every direction and you find a silence unlike anywhere else on earth. You can see for miles but all you will hear is your own breathing and the snow crunching under your boots. Visit Kilpisjärvi, a small village in Enontekiö, and it's easy to discover why tourists return year after year.
In Lapland, swapping the hustle and bustle of ski resorts and cities to the peace and quiet of the wilderness takes mere minutes.

A Turkish 'Trojan Horse' for Loudoun?
Americans may not realize it yet, but Turkey's regression from a secular democracy into an Islamic state may be based on an educational movement that has also taken root in America. Imam Fethullah Gülen and his Gülen Movement (GM) have had enormousinfluence in setting the increasingly Islamist agenda of Turkey's ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP). Much of this is due to GM's vast empire of media entities, financial institutions, banks and business organizations. But the most critical component of this empire is educational institutions. In Turkey, 75 percent of the nation's two million preparatory school students are enrolled in Gülen institutions. In America, GM runs the largest charter school network in the nation. Such an empire is slowly receiving the kind of scrutiny–and pushback from concerned Americans–that it deserves.
The principals and school board members of GM charter schools are primarily Turkish men. Hundreds of Turkish teachers have been admitted to the United States using H-1B visas, because the schools claim qualified Americans cannot be found. Moreover, an examination of federal tax forms and school documents reveals that GM charter schools tend to purchase a substantial portion of their goods and services from Gülenist businesses.
This symbiotic relationship is occurring in many areas around the nation. For example, a trio of GM schools in Georgia are currently in the spotlight because they defaulted on a $19 million bond issue. An audit revealed the schools improperly granted hundreds of thousands of dollars in contracts for purchases like T-shirts, teacher training, and video production services from organizations with connections to school officials, or Gülen followers, or to businesses and groups with ties to the Gülen Movement. In some cases, bidding requirements were ignored. "I would just question how those vendors were selected when price in many instances wasn't part of the decision making," said Fulton County superintendent Robert Avossa.
In Texas, similar allegations have been aimed at the Cosmos Foundation, a charter school operator founded a decade ago by a group of professors and businessmen from Turkey. The group, currently using the name Harmony Schools, has become the biggest charter operation in the state, and while its primary mission is educating schoolchildren, it has forged ongoing relationships with a close-knit network of businesses and organizations run by Turkish immigrants. Some of those founders, as well as school operators, and many of their business suppliers, are followers of Fethullah Gülen.
Harmony receives more than $100 million a year in taxpayer funds. When questioned how that money was spent with regards to awarding contracts, Harmony produced a list showing that local American companies had been awarded only 13 construction and renovation jobs over several years. On the other hand, a New York Times review of contracts since January 2009, totaling 35 contracts and $82 million worth of work, revealed that all but 3 jobs worth about $1.5 million went to Turkish-owned businesses. Such contracts included an $8.2 million deal awarded to TDM Contracting to build the Harmony School of Innovation during the company's very first month in business. Such "good fortune" is in direct contrast to established local companies that claimed they weren't awarded contracts, despite bidding several hundred thousand dollars lower.
One of those companies is Atlas Texas Construction and Trading, a Houston-based contractor with offices in Texas and Turkey. Atlas was awarded two contracts by Cosmos in Texas, the fairness of which was questioned by local contractors, who wondered why the company got both jobs when it was underbid by one company on one job, and four on the other. Atlas showed up on a list of Gülen-affiliated companies in a 2006 cable from the American Consul General in Istanbul, released by WikiLeaks. In Louisiana, the New Orleans Times-Picayune reported that the Abramson Science & Technology Charter School in eastern New Orleans is linked to a bribe offer allegedly made by Inci Akpinar — the vice president of Atlas.
Other possible sources of income for the GM movement were revealed in a 2011 report by the Philadelphia Inquirer. They revealed that the FBI is investigating a GM charter school employee kickback scheme, aimed at funding the larger GM movement.
Operators of Gülen-based charter schools stress over and over that their charters hew to state-mandated curriculums. Yet in Inver Grove Heights, MN, a substitute teacher named Amanda Getz claims the Tarek Ibn Ziyad Academy (TIZA) maintained no separation between academics studied during school and Islamic studies afterward. She also claims she was instructed to take students in fours to the bathroom for "ritual washing" before lunch on Fridays (the Muslim holy day), after which, "teachers led the kids into the gym, where a man dressed in white with a white cap" led the students in Muslim prayers. She further revealed that while religious instruction is not part of the "school day," most students stay after — perhaps because school buses don't leave until the Islamic studies are over.
Concerned Americans have begun to push back. In Austin, Texas, a protest rally was organized in August 2011 against the Harmony School of Political Science in that city. Rally organizer Donna Garner cited Fethullah Gülen's influence in changing Turkey from pro- to anti-American, the link between Cosmos/Harmony/Atlas Construction in Texas and Louisiana's Pelican schools, as well as concerns regarding how "teachers who can hardly speak English and are fresh from Turkey will present such historically significant elements as the Holocaust, the Founding Fathers, the Declaration of Independence, and the Constitution."
In Tennessee last May, Gov. Bill Haslam allowed a bill that limits the number of foreign workers at charter schools to become law without his signature. According to the bill, if a school wants 3.5 percent or more of its staff to be hired from among the foreign workers in the H1B or J-1 visa programs (with an exception for language teachers), it can now be refused a charter to operate by chartering authorities. American Muslim Advisory Council board member Sabina Mohyuddin from Tullahoma, labeled it "an anti-Muslim bill shrouded in anti-immigrant language."
Last month in Loudoun, VA, applicants behind the proposed Loudoun Math and IT Academy in that city were peppered with questions from residents who were concerned that the proposed charter has ties to the Gülen Movement. Access Point Public Affairs' Mindy Williams, who serves as the spokeswoman for the charter school applicants, along with School Board Vice Chairman Jill Turgeon and Board of Supervisors Vice Chairman Janet Clarke, were met with a great amount of skepticism when they said they believed the school was not tied to Gülen or his movement. "I do think it's very important that we're absolutely sure there is no connection," Clarke said, "but in all fairness, we can't draw that connection when we don't know quite yet."
Perhaps they're not looking hard enough. At an earlier meeting, it was pointed out that Ali Bicak is one of the founding members of Chesapeake Science Point in Maryland, which has alleged ties to the Gülen Movement and is ostensibly the school after which the Loudoun Math and IT Academy is modeled. Fatih Kandil, listed as an applicant for the Loudoun charter school, is a former principal of Chesapeake Science Point and was the director of the Horizon Science Academy in Ohio, which has also been accused of ties with Gülen. "There's a trend here I'm hoping you see," said meeting attendee Rachel Sargent.

Oregon teen wrote about plot to attack school, court records say
An Oregon teen accused of planning an assault on his high school wrote detailed plans about the attack in notebooks and planned to kill himself before engaging with responding police officers, according to court documents released Tuesday.
Grant Acord, 17, was charged Tuesday as an adult with 19 charges, including attempted aggravated murder and six counts each of unlawful possession and manufacture of a destructive device. His bail has been set at $2 million.
Acord made his first court appearance by video transmission Tuesday.
Wearing a light-gray sweatshirt and sweatpants with shaggy brown hair covering most of his forehead, Acord said little but replied "yes, your honor" to questions from Judge Matthew Donohue, who set bail at $2 million.
Acord's writings included "multiple versions of the plans and diagrams to commit an attack" on West Albany High School, according to a probable cause affidavit signed by Albany Police Detective Mike Wood.
Police say the notebooks that were found hidden beneath the floorboards in the teen's bedroom, along with two pipe bombs, two Molotov cocktails and at least two Drano bombs.
In one, labeled "The (Loosely Stated) 'Plan' AKA Worst case Scenario," the teen lays out an itinerary for an attack: Leave home at 7:30, go to first period, then retreat to the parking lot to prepare.
At about 11:10, he would begin blasting music from the car while walking toward the school, a napalm firebomb in one hand and a duffel bag in the other.
"Drop duffel. Light and throw napalm, unzip bag and begin firing," the notebook said. "Cooly state: 'the Russian grim reaper is here.'"
The line is apparently a reference to the 2003 film "Bad Boys II."
The plan went on: "Throw a smoke bomb prior to walking in. Proceed to enter the school, then shoot and throw bombs throughout the school. Kill myself before S.W.A.T. engages me."
The detective wrote that the notebooks indicate that Acord "compares himself to both Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold," the teenagers who killed 13 people at Columbine High School in Colorado in 1999 before turning their guns on themselves.
Police said they found printouts of a website listing the weapons used by the shooters at Columbine High School and a list of items to use in an attack, including a black trenchcoat, a belt with skull and crossbones buckle, wool socks, various explosive devices and a propane tank.
Several items were listed on a page titled "I NEED." They include explosive materials, ammunition, a Hi-Point 995 rifle and a Mossberg 500 pump-action shotgun.
The prosecutor declined to say whether police found firearms in the home.
On Monday, Acord's mother, Marianne Fox, issued a statement through a Corvallis lawyer, Alan Lanker, saying the teenager struggles with a rare form of obsessive-compulsive disorder.
"I grieve for my son, but understand and support the efforts of law enforcement to keep our beloved community safe," the statement said. "This is a challenging and confusing time for everyone who knows Grant."
Prosecutor Chris Stringer declined to comment Tuesday about the statement by Acord's mother.
The boy lives primarily with Fox, Lanker said.
The Associated Press normally doesn't name minors accused of crimes but is doing so in this case because of the seriousness of the allegations and because Acord is being charged as an adult.
No bombs were found during searches of the school, and classes resumed as scheduled Tuesday.
"I have been advised that none of the evidence developed thus far suggests any broader conspiracy or involvement by any other persons," Maria Delapoer, the superintendent of Albany schools, said in a statement to parents. "The bottom line is that the school is safe and that students can return to school on Tuesday confident that no outstanding threats remain."
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

About ADHD
What is Adult ADHD?
The main symptoms of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are inattention (severe distractibility, forgetfulness, and disorganization), impulsivity (reckless behavior or carelessness), and hyperactivity (extreme restlessness and feeling "on the go"). Another way to think about ADHD is that it represents chronic difficulties with organizing and carrying out actions across time, particularly when there is no immediate reward for doing so.
Originally thought to affect only children, we now know that the symptoms of ADHD persist and cause problems for many adolescents and adults. ADHD can interfere with performance at school, at work, and in relationships, and can lead to feelings of low self- esteem, as well as depression and/or anxiety.
Many individuals with symptoms of ADHD are not diagnosed until they are older. In addition to wanting treatment for their symptoms, these adolescents and adults also need help developing new coping strategies for facing life's demands, made more difficult by ADHD.
What Causes ADHD?
ADHD is primarily a neurobiological disorder that is strongly hereditary. It is a developmental disorder affecting the prefrontal cortex of the brain, which controls "executive functions" - cognitive abilities that allow us to control and orchestrate thoughts and actions. In persons with ADHD, this area of the brain operates less efficiently than it could. Environmental factors (e.g., parenting, diet) have only a minimal association with the development of ADHD.
