Some delightfully quirky Tom McGuane characters make it to the little screen with their idiosyncrasies relatively intact, which at the very least guarantees stretched-out people worth caring and rooting for.

Some delightfully quirky Tom McGuane characters make it to the little screen with their idiosyncrasies relatively intact, which at the very least guarantees stretched-out people worth caring and rooting for. But this telepic delivers even more, as the fine performances and the ambience of Montana's Paradise Valley make it an engaging experience.Joe Starling (William Petersen), a Montana native who has both a painting block and commitment block, bolts from the L.A. beach scene to the family ranch, imperiled by the villainous land baron Overstreet (Jack Palance), not to mention his own bumbling uncle Smitty (Buck Henry). Running a ranch is difficult under the best of circumstances or, to paraphrase McGuane, leaving a ranch to your children constitutes an egregious form of child abuse. But Joe embraces the challenge of ranching with a masochistic fervor, while coping with a near-debilitating range of family, woman and business troubles. Joe has an L.A. woman and a Montana woman: Astrid (Rachel Ticotin) is the no-nonsense, urban-assertive live-in from L.A., while Ellen (Lolita Davidovich) is the former girlfriend, a consummate small-town provocateur, not to mention the daughter of Overstreet and wife of Joe's high school buddy, Billy (Jeff Kober). Exceedingly well played, these women constitute irresistible temptations and inevitable disasters. Petersen, a generally unappreciated actor, develops a character with range and credibility. Henry's fumbling uncle is every nephew's worst nightmare while Palance is the perfect town bully whose muscle is a big bank account. McGuane does not naturally translate to the screen, but writer John Miglis delivers a fine adaptation, which director Andy Tennant executes with authority. The pace is leisurely, the characters richly nuanced and the story filled with interesting turns. Mix that with the Yellowstone River and the Absaroka Mountain Range, and one has a delightful dramatic and comedic escape from the grim realities of urban and suburban America.

Wiring your Windshield Mounted Lights
I like the Lights I saw in another thread that were mounted up next to the windshield, but cant fig. out are the wiring for the lights ran through a hole drilled or through a crack in the hinge area, Can some one explain it or post a pick showing it?
I'm no wiring genius but its simple. I loosened up the panel in front of the windshield and ran the wiring under it to either side next to the light mounts that simply screw into the windshield provided points. There is a tiny 'lip'/indentation in the panel that allows the wires to easily pass. Its really easy......
^ hes refering to the cowl which is the part that goes under the windshield.Loosen up a few screws and you can tuck in the wires behind it.
I know this is old..but it say to wire the white wire to an ignition source near the battery..is there a switched ignition source near the battery I can put the white wire to or can it go right to the battery..mike
I did mine to the battery so it wasn't dependent on having other lights on. I'm not an electrician but I did a lot of research first and no problems after three weeks.
With the panel off you'll see a quarter-sized hole with foam in it. Remove the rubber filler cap from the engine bay side, straighten out a coathanger, tape the wires to it, and fish em through to the cab.
I was thinking that but the wanted it to be only able to come on when the ignition is on but need a spot near the battery...........
Make sure you fuse any circuit you attach to your battery.

Whether you're trying to get a grade to be proud of on that next algebra test, helping students better understand mathematical problems in the classroom or designing a blueprint for a mechanical device, finding the right graphing calculator can help. There are three major brands vying for your attention: Texas Instruments, Hewlett-Packard and Casio. At first glance, each of these calculators appears very similar. Dig a little deeper, though, and you'll find that each one has unique features that set it apart.
In this buying guide, we break down the features of some of the most popular graphing calculators and help you answer some basic questions. What are the different types available? Which are permissible on the ACT and SAT? Which ones are easy to use? Choosing the right one doesn't mean finding the one with the most features; some may offer things you don't need. We'll present you with info on many popular models and let you decide which one best suits your particular needs. You can also visit our Learning Center for articles about Graphing Calculators.
Graphing Calculators: Our Verdict and Recommendations
When tackling algebraic, geometric or even statistical equations, the right graphing calculator makes a difference. Finding the ideal one for your needs depends on how you plan to use it. After looking over some of most popular on the market, our recommendations are:
Best Graphing Calculator For Students
The Texas Instruments Nspire CX includes almost all the features you want in a graph calculator for high school as well as many features that transfer well into college courses. While it doesn't have CAS capabilities, it uses mathematic templates that translate expressions into a textbook form that's easy to understand. It's also usable on most standardized tests and features a backlit color display that lets you easily see your calculations. The Casio PRIZM is also useful for students. It offers many of the same features as the TI-Nspire CX, and it is more user-friendly. However, it isn't as widely accepted or used in the classroom.
Texas Instruments TI-Nspire CX
The Texas Instruments TI-Nspire CX is a non-CAS graphing calculator that features typical functions like XY-lines, graph plotting, equation computations and geometric animations, making useful for courses like algebra, geometry and statistics. It also offers advanced functions and a backlit color display. It is compatible with most standardized tests, and the calculator comes with an equation library, 3D graphing and a rechargeable battery.Read more here
Best Graphing Calculator For Teachers
The TI-Nspire CX is also a good option for teachers. Using a calculator in the classroom that is compatible with many standardized and AP tests lets you teach students how the calculator works before these big exams. It also comes with rechargeable batteries, which help keep you going through every class period. Texas Instrument graphing calculators are ideal for teacher use in the classroom because this brand offers multiple teacher resources, like workshops, webinars and learning software. As a teacher, you may take advantage of the TI ViewPanels as well, which work with overhead projectors and let project your calculator screen so all your students have the ability to view what you are doing. Texas Instruments also offers EZ-spot yellow slide cases, which help you easily identify which calculators belong in the classroom and which belong to students.
Texas Instruments TI-Nspire CX CAS
The TI-Nspire CX CAS is a hand-held calculator graphing tool with many different basic and advanced graphing, mathematic, geometric and scientific functions. It features a color display and a rechargeable battery. It works well with matching computer software, making it ideal for high school and college courses, and you can use it on some standardized tests, but not all.Read more here
Best Graphing Calculator For Professionals
While many advanced calculators are suitable for professionals, whether electrical engineers or professors, the HP 50g stands out with its CAS capabilities, along with its RPN and algebraic formatting options, massive equation library and large storage capacity. This option lets you do more than a traditional scientific calculator and makes finding the solutions to equations easy for professionals in astronomy, electrical engineering and physics.
HP 50g
The HP 50g is a computer algebra system (CAS) graphing calculator with multiple formatting functions. It doesn't have a color display, but it does have a large screen with adjustable contrast. There is plenty of storage for upgrades and applications, and it comes with an equation library. While it's useful for students and professionals, this calculator is permitted for use on only a few standardized tests.Read more here
Types of Graph Calculators
Finding the right calculator to help you solve mathematical and scientific equations in the classroom or at work depends on the features you might need. First, understand that these are different from scientific calculators, which offer an easy way of finding answers to basic equations. Scientific calculators typically have smaller screens than graphing calculators do, and they perform basic scientific notation, trigonometric, exponential and logarithmic functions.
While the biggest difference between a scientific and a graphing calculator is the screen size, other features, such as graphing capabilities, color displays, and the ability to write and store algorithms and programs set graphing options apart from scientific ones. Graphing calculators can also be used for drawing scatter plots, calculating probability and creating tables.
CAS vs. Non-CAS Models
There are two different kinds of graphing devices available: Computer Algebra Systems (CAS) and non-CAS. Both CAS and non-CAS calculators include advanced features that let you manipulate variables and solve equations. Some non-CAS versions, however, are suitable for only basic math problems.
One of the biggest differences in using these two types of calculators is how they display an equation. CAS calculators let you enter variables and then simplify them into a format known as Pretty Print or Natural Display. The result is a mathematical equation similar to what you see in textbooks. Pretty Print often makes an equation easier to understand for both students and teachers. Calculators of this type are also capable of evaluating symbolic expressions, making them useful for scientists and professionals. The addition of this capability also increases the price of the calculator. Non-CAS graph calculators display expressions in syntax format but are usually less expensive.
RPN vs. Algebraic Modes
If you use your graphing calculator or scientific calculator for advanced calculations, you may want a choice when it comes to the type of mode you use to input equations and functions for electrical engineering, chemistry, physics and even astronomy. There are two basic modes: algebraic and Reverse Polish Notation (RPN.) Most calculators use the algebraic input method, which uses the order of operations in a way naturally taught to students by professors in school.
Some, like the HP 50g, give you the option of using RPN. RPN makes complex calculations easier by removing the parenthesis and brackets in the equation. It then places the calculation in the correct order of operation. This saves steps and reduces the amount of storage space each calculation uses.
Online Options
What About Online Graphing Calculators?
A cost-saving alternative to a hand-held calculator is an online version. There are many available, both free and with paid subscriptions. Some, such as the Calculator+ app, are free but require a small purchase to unlock all modes, while others, such as Tydlig, have upfront costs.
One of the most popular free online options is the Desmos graphing calculator. Students, professionals and teachers can use this application on PC and Mac as well as Apple and Android devices such as tablets or smartphones. The application lets you plot tables, graph functions and find quick answers to equations. You can also create an account and save your past equations.
There are drawbacks to using a free or paid online graphing calculator because internet access is necessary at all times and not all are capable of handling complex equations. You also need a computer, tablet or smartphone when using the graph calculator online, and these are often banned from testing sites and in most classrooms.
Common Graphing Calculator Apps
Both CAS and non-CAS calculator graphing options, like the TI-Nspire CX CAS, the TI-84 Plus and the Casio FX-9860GII S, include apps that make learning, teaching and working easier. Some devices include NoteFolio, which lets you use the calculator's keyboard to take notes in any class and transfer them to Microsoft Word files. StudyCards is an app that lets you create digital flash cards for any class – even those not related to math or science. Many calculators also feature LearningCheck, an app that lets students and teachers create their own review questions and practice tests and share them with others. There's also the Spreadsheet app, which lets you analyze statistics using rows and columns and the eActivity app, which helps teachers create discovery-based lessons for their students. While many graphing calculator apps come preloaded, most calculators are compatible with additional applications.
Tips For Students
Many calculators provide similar functions, but not all provide those needed for every course you take in high school or college. Some, like the TI-83 Plus, are appropriate for courses like pre-algebra, algebra, trigonometry, business and finance, and AP calculus. However, other graphing calculators, like the TI-Nspire CX, TI-84 Plus or TI-89 Titanium, tackle the needs of these courses and are also better suited for geometric calculations, like finding the area of a triangle using Heron's Formula.
Some calculators work well for high school classes, but these may not always translate well into college classes. When looking for the best graphing calculator for your needs, pay close attention to what the calculator does. Basic options for high school courses like algebra and statistics may not offer functions for creating scatter plots, finding absolute values or basic graphing.
In addition to these capabilities, advanced graphing calculators offer other scientific and mathematical functions, like graphing derivatives, finding the min and max, and comparing exponential and power dispersion. These capabilities are necessary for advanced high school and college courses.
Before purchasing any graph calculator as a student, always check with your school and see what devices they allow in the classroom. Some schools don't allow certain advanced versions. Due to their popularity, many classes allow Texas Instrument calculators. Also, consider whether the graphing calculator is usable on AP tests or standardized like the PSAT, SAT, ACT, IB or Praxis. As of this writing, using the TI-83 Plus and Casio FX 9860GII S on the ACT and SAT is acceptable, but the TI-Nspire CAS and HP Prime are not permissible for most exams.
Tips For Teachers
When using calculator graphing devices in the classroom, teachers must understand how the calculators work. Many brands offer excellent resources that help teachers learn the functions of these devices, and they offer ideas for using the calculators in the classroom. Such resources include:
- Pre-planned activities and lessons
- Instructor-taught courses and webinars
- Easy-to-understand materials
Texas Instruments offers a ViewScreen panel product. This product works with an overhead projector to enlarge your TI calculator screen while you teach. You can project the image of your screen onto a whiteboard or projection screen, so your students can see and understand the calculations you input as you teach the concepts.
Some brands also offer free software trials that let you explore how the graphing calculators work before making a purchase for your classroom. The software emulates a hand-held calculator and lets you perform all the same functions the device would.
For teachers purchasing 2D and 3D graphing calculators for the classroom, cost-saving options are often available. You may have the option of buying a bundle of calculators from a retail or store distributors at a lower cost than the individual price. Many calculators intended for classroom use also come with colored cases and sliders. This makes distinguishing between student-owned and school-owned calculators easy.
Graphing Calculators: What to Look For
When looking for the best graphing calculator, consider everything from the display to the memory to software integration. Here are a few elements you should look for.
The most basic graphing calculators offer large LCD displays, with many featuring backlit screens for ease of viewing. Some have high-resolution color displays, like the Casio PRIZM FX-CG10, that let you quickly see the difference between two similar graphs by formatting one as orange and one as blue. Character displays – or the number of characters and lines you can see at one time – vary among calculators. The TI-84 Plus, for instance, features an eight-line by 16-character display, while the Casio PRIZM has an eight-line display, and each line displays a max of 21 characters.
Processing Speed & Memory
Two of the most important elements of a graphing calculator are memory and processing speed. Fast processors let you perform and save equations quickly. Texas Instrument calculators boast ARM, Zilog Z80 and Motorola 68000 processors with different speeds, measured in megahertz (MHz). Advanced calculators, especially CAS versions, typically feature faster processors.
Many graphing calculators let you save equations, solutions and common problems for later using the integrated memory. The capacity for each calculator varies. For instance, the Casio FX-9860GII S boasts 64KB of RAM and 1.5MB of ROM, and the TI-Nspire CX CAS has 100MB of RAM and 64MB of ROM.
All calculator graphing devices operate using batteries. To avoid having to replace the batteries frequently and reduce the chances of the calculator dying in the middle of your class, consider a graphing calculator with rechargeable batteries. Many come with USB cables that connect to any USB-compatible device for charging low batteries. You can use these rechargeable devices with optional wall chargers or docking stations as well.
Ease of Use Features
Whether you use graphing calculator professionally or in the classroom, look for features that make using them simple. Some have touchscreens or dedicated buttons that let you quickly switch to different views or programs. To save you time, others let you program keystrokes and shortcuts. There are even some that offer split-screen views, which let you see multiple graphs or equations at the same time.
For quick use, options like the TI-Nspire CX CAS and HP 50g come with built-in equation libraries. These programmable libraries let you select from thousands of common equations. Most also feature functions that help with complex graphing and calculations, such as:
- XY-lines
- Absolute value
- Min and max
- Tables
- Mean, mode and medium
- Factoring
Some, like the Casio PRIZM, integrate real-world connections by letting you use pictures with your equations. By overlaying equations or graphs onto the pictures, you may more easily understand the problem you're solving.
Other Helpful Features
3D graphing calculators help you better understand the way functions work by displaying them in 3D. These models let you choose the steepness and height of your 3D graph, alter the colors of various sections and create several different 3D graphs using the same axes.
Many graph calculators come with USB cables that let you connect the calculator to a computer or compatible device. This makes sharing files between devices easy. Most let you integrate equations into Word and spreadsheet programs.
A USB cable also lets you download updates and new applications. Even some basic calculators designed for middle-school use, like the TI-83 Plus, feature USB cable compatibility for updating the software and operating system for extended use in later school grades.
Price & Resale Value
Graphing calculators vary in price, with some as low as $50 and others in the $150 range. The cost of the calculator greatly depends on whether it's a CAS system and the features it has. If cutting costs is a priority, consider non-CAS systems and calculators that come preloaded with the apps you need in the classroom or at work. Downloading apps individually, at a cost, can end up increasing the overall price of the device.
You may want to sell your graph calculator at some point down the road, especially if you purchased it for a particular class in high school or college. Be sure you consider the resale value of the choice you make now.
Texas Instrument calculators typically have a higher resale value than other brands. This is because the brand is popular among teachers, students and professionals, even though Casio models are generally less expensive and easier to use. In fact, some schools even require TI calculators for the classroom. The TI-84 Plus is the most popular when it comes to resale value because of its approval for use on standardized tests like the ACT and SAT.
No matter what brand of graphing calculator you choose, see how long the warranty is. The majority come with a one-year limited manufacturer warranty. Be sure you understand what the warranty entails before purchase. Some only cover manufacturer defaults, while others are more comprehensive and cover everyday damage. Most calculators also feature durable exteriors and optional sliders and cases that help it withstand the daily abuse of being carried around and occasionally dropped. However, a warranty covers you if something goes wrong.

Three key stats about the Stanley Cup champion Chicago Blackhawks
Why did the Chicago Blackhawks win the Stanley Cup again? Puck possession.
More NHL Playoffs: Scores | TV Schedule | Expert Picks | Odds | Mock Draft | Rumors
The Chicago Blackhawks are champions again, winning the Stanley Cup for the second time in four years. They were the best team in the NHL from start to finish during the season, roaring out of the gate by going 24 games without a loss in regulation, earning the Presidents' Trophy with the best record in the league and then continuing that domination through the postseason.
There are three key numbers that you should keep in mind about this team and what it takes to win in the NHL.
Those numbers:
1.) Hits: 840. This number put them last in the NHL. Repeat. Last in the NHL.
2.) Blocked shots: 652. This number was 21st in the NHL. Again, near the bottom.
It certainly puts a dent in the argument that you need to be physical, gritty and block your way to the Cup.
The reason the Blackhawks were so low in these two categories wasn't that they lacked grit or toughness or compete level or any other hockey-related buzzword that you can throw out there. It was because of the simple fact that they had more skill than nearly every other team and had the puck way more than their opponents. You can't block shots or hit people when you're the one always playing with the puck.
And finally ...
3.) Fenwick Close: 55.80. This number was second-best in the NHL. And this is the big one.
The important one.
Fenwick is a measure of shot attempts that counts shots on goal and shots that miss the net. It's a measure of puck possession. And when narrowing it to situations in which the score is close (hence the name, "Fenwick Close"), you're not allowing score effects to skew the possession numbers. Teams play differently when they're ahead or behind by two or more goals. When the game is tied or separated by just one goal, teams are playing more within their system. Their true talent is being shown.
When you see the Blackhawks with a mark of 55.80, that means they attempted more than 55 percent of the total shot attempts. That is a huge advantage and takes a lot of pressure off their goalies.
When the Blackhawks won the Cup in 2010, they finished first in this measure and were one of the most dominant possession teams in recent memory. Over the past six years, the Stanley Cup champion has finished in the top four of the league in this statistic four times. The only two that didn't were the 2010-11 Bruins, who won on the strength of Tim Thomas in net, and the 2008-09 Penguins, whose numbers were skewed by their early season struggles under Michel Therrien (after the coaching change, their possession numbers were among the best in the league).
The moral of the story: Puck possession hockey is winning hockey.

Forget Cosmos, Here's Further Confirmation of Neil Tyson's Tendency to Commit Taradiddles
While Neil deGrasse Tyson was rolling out the 13 episodes of Cosmos, we pointed out the many distortions and untruths woven into the program's narrative, pitting science against religion and promoting the idea that neither humanity nor planet Earth is in any way special. How likely was it that Tyson, in the rest of his public activities, has hewed to the truth on science, religion -- or, let's say, politics? Not likely, you would think.
So it's confirming and not all that surprising to read Sean Davis's report today at The Federalist, "Another Day, Another Quote Fabricated By Neil deGrasse Tyson."
Neil deGrasse Tyson may be a fabulous scientist, and a consummate showman, but he's downright terrible at accurately quoting people. Or, if you're a "glass half full" kind of person, you might say that Neil deGrasse Tyson is pretty amazing at needlessly fabricating quotes and scenarios to showcase his own brilliance.Davis has dug out the record of what the President actually said. While Tyson has repeatedly tried to score with his anecdote supposedly illustrating Bush's stupidity and bias, his story is wrong on every detail. Bush said something about God naming stars (citing Isaiah, not Genesis, as Tyson claims) in the context of the Columbia space shuttle tragedy of 2003. He was memorializing the Columbia's crew, not bashing Islam as Tyson claims.
We've already established that a newspaper headline touted for years by Tyson likely doesn't exist. We've also established that the exact quote he uses to bash members of Congress as being stupid also doesn't exist. And then we established that the details within one of Tyson's favorite anecdotes -- a story of how he bravely confronted a judge about his mathematical illiteracy while serving on jury duty -- seem to change every time Tyson tells the story.
In addition to those two highly questionable quotes and one highly questionable story, we now have another blatantly false quote peddled by Tyson. He has peddled this quote for years (including at a presentation on Sunday night at the Paramount Theatre in Seattle).
According to Tyson, in the days following the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Bush uttered the phrase, "Our God is the God who named the stars." According to Tyson, the president made that claim as a way of segregating radical Islam from religions like Christianity or Judaism.
Davis has documented other -- what shall we call them, goofs, taradiddles? -- committed by Tyson, hardly less egregious:
At this point, I'm legitimately curious if any quotes or anecdotes peddled by Neil deGrasse Tyson are true. Over the last week, I've examined only four, and every single one appears to be garbage. The "above average" headline. The "360 degrees" quote from a member of Congress. The jury duty story. And now the bogus George W. Bush quote. These are normally the types of errors that would be uncovered by peer review. Blatant data fabrication, after all, is the cardinal sin of scientific publishing. In journalism, this would get you fired. In Tyson's world, it got him his own television show. Where are Tyson's peers, and why is no one reviewing his assertions?
Davis asks his concluding question in all innocence. I'll tell him the answer. Tyson gets away with it, in a way we never would, because his fans adore his message -- on science, religion, politics -- and give him a pass. What else is new?

Catch This Shark? Throw It Back!:
Two recent landings of the critically endangered porbeagle shark in the North East Atlantic have the UK's Marine Management Organisation on the alert. Dead or alive, the species, also known as mackerel sharks, if caught in EU waters should be returned to the sea. A commercial prohibition on catching the sharks has been in place since 2010.
"Given the extensive coverage of restrictions around this critically endangered species of shark, we advise people in the seafood industry to avoid the sale or purchase of porbeagle shark unless the provenance of the fish has been clearly established as coming from non-EU waters and non-EU vessels. The measures in place are designed to give the porbeagle shark population in the North-East Atlantic a chance to rebuild," stated Neil Wellum, head of marine conservation and enforcement at MMO.

Acetal is a high-performance engineering polymer often used for parts that would otherwise be made of metal. Chosen for its distinct characteristics, it is widely used in both machining and injection molding.
There are two types of acetal. Homopolymer, produced by DuPont as Delrin®, consists of a chain of identical oxymethylene units. Copolymer, introduced by Celanese as Celcon®, consists of a chain of alternating oxymethylene and oxyethylene units. While the two acetals differ in some ways, they share basic characteristics.
All acetals are strong, tough, and stiff with very high creep resistance, making them ideal for mechanical parts like gears and chain links. They are highly abrasion resistant (though less so than nylons or polyethylenes) and have a low coefficient of friction against metal and other plastics, making them an excellent choice for bearings, bushings, and cams. They are affected by strong acids or oxidizing agents, but otherwise have high resistance to most chemicals and low water absorption and are widely used for packaging and dispensing components. In general, they can withstand a wide range of temperatures, but tend to degrade when exposed to ultraviolet light.
Acetal's inherent strength can be further enhanced by the addition of glass fiber reinforcement. Firstcut stocks four acetal resins: white copolymer acetal, black and white homopolymer acetyl, and 20% glass filled homopolymer. In choosing between homopolymer and copolymer acetal, consider the following.
Homopolymers have:
Copolymers have:
While none of these differences are large, they may guide choice of acetal when a particular characteristic is critical to the application.
Acetals are highly machinable, but if the machined parts are prototypes for parts that will be injection molded, the material's moldability characteristics must also be considered in both part design and resin choice. In other words, the fact that you can machine it doesn't guarantee that you can mold it. The following are general guidelines for molding acetal. (If parts are to be molded by Protomold's rapid injection molding process, our Design Guidelines should be used.)
Whether you are machining a finished part or a prototype that will eventually be molded, the material you choose will impact both the design decisions you make and the performance of the finished piece. Because some of acetal's characteristics—tendency to shrink, for example—affect molded, but not machined, parts, it must be treated differently depending on whether you are machining prototype or finished parts. This will allow you to take full advantage of the unique capabilities of the material.

Amblyopia is also known as 'lazy eye'. A condition which is common in childhood and if left untreated can lead to visual loss. Researchers in the US have looked at a visual exercise that can help adults with amblyopia improve their vision.
Amblyopia, also known as lazy eye, is common in childhood and if untreated can lead to serious visual loss on that side. But research in the United States has found that a dramatically simple visual exercise can help adults with amblyopia improve their vision. They've also used similar research techniques to look at people who have dyslexia.
Zhong-Lin Lu is Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles.
Zhong-Lin Lu: Amblyopia is a developmental disorder in spatial vision.
Norman Swan: It's more than just a squint?
Zhong-Lin Lu: Yes, it's more than just a squint, it's like after a person has developed into adulthood this person's vision in one eye is just not good. Even after all the surgical corrections and after all the glasses that they can get they still have a problem. And this is viewed as a cortical problem; it's not a problem in the eye.
Norman Swan: By cortical problem you mean a problem in the part of the brain which actually analyses visual information coming in from the eye?
Zhong-Lin Lu: Exactly.
Norman Swan: People have said that if you don't pick up amblyopia early you can be functionally blind in that eye even though if you look in it there's nothing to see?
Zhong-Lin Lu: If you're just look at the eye, the eyes can be completely normal after some surgical procedures or after optical correction. However, there's still problems in the visual cortex. That's the area of the brain that's processing information from the eye.
Norman Swan: Tell us what your theory was and what you did.
Zhong-Lin Lu: Now let me go back a little bit. Amblyopia can be treated at the early stage of life. For example for kids who are less than 8 years old, people believed that you know if you patch the good eye you force amblyopes to use the amblyopic eye. The vision in the amblyopic eye could improve. Now this is based on the theory of -
Norman Swan: It's quite a simple theory of exercising the brain.
Zhong-Lin Lu: It's a very simple theory about exercising the brain and also there's another component of this which is why do they have to train people aged below 8? That's because people have a theory about development which is that this is a critical period or sensitive period. People believe after 8 years of age visual development is finished and you can't retune the system at that point.
Norman Swan: The window closes?
Zhong-Lin Lu: That's right. However, in recent decades, people in vision actually find that even for adults you can still improve people's visual performance. It's a procedure called perceptual learning in which you get adults to actually practice on visual tasks and they can still improve their performance quite a lot.
Norman Swan: Because the brain is more plastic than people ever imagined?
Zhong-Lin Lu: Exactly. That's what's new in this. People realised that the brain's much, much more plastic than people had thought about.
Norman Swan: Professor Lin Lu and his colleagues took a group of 20 year olds with amblyopia and did a controlled trial of visual training on a computer screen. An example of the task they used was displaying black and white bars of varying contrast, designed to stimulate the relevant nerve cells in the visual part of the brain.
Zhong-Lin Lu: We asked these amblyopic subjects to detect these bars. If they see it we actually make this task harder by reducing the contrast of these bars. If they don't see it we increase the contrast. For about 45 minutes a day over about ten days - what we find is that after this training the contrast sensitivity improves by about 90%.
Norman Swan: 90% - it's almost doubled?
Zhong-Lin Lu: Almost doubled. So they become much, much more sensitive in the sense that if they had a bunch of black and white bars in the beginning they need about 50% contrast to see. Now they only need about 25% contrast.
Norman Swan: And what about their visual acuity being able to read the Snellen chart?
Zhong-Lin Lu: The visual acuity improves by about 70%, that's three lines on the chart.
Norman Swan: Three lines on the chart - that's a lot?
Zhong-Lin Lu: Yes, that's a lot. What's actually more impressive is for a number of these subjects we retested about 6 months and 1 year after the training, their improved visual acuity can remain the same, it did not decrease. It's about 90% of the results of the training.
Norman Swan: So where does the idea for showing black and white bars come from?
Zhong-Lin Lu: The basic building blocks of the visual cortex are a bunch of neurones that see these black and white bars.
Norman Swan: Is there a clinical application for this, can you apply it more widely?
Zhong-Lin Lu: Yes, of course we need to test more subjects. We're also in the process of improving the procedures.
Norman Swan: Your research interest is in perception and you've been looking at perceptual problems in people with dyslexia?
Zhong-Lin Lu: Yes, the study of dyslexia is focussed on understanding the underlying causes of dyslexia. Dyslexia as we know is a reading problem, these people have problems processing the basic units of speech. But we want to understand the underlying neurological basis for that. And our research program has focussed on an interesting phenomenon in dyslexia. We've observed that dyslexics actually tend to have much, much worse problems in processing auditory warning visual stimuli in noise. Like for example if we're talking on a radio, if there's a lot of background in the radio, dyslexics have more trouble processing that information than the normals.
Norman Swan: So translating that to the classroom, if the teacher's just speaking in a quiet environment the assumption would be that they hear the teacher well but if there's a lot of noise in the classroom, they can't differentiate the sound they need to hear from the noise?
Zhong-Lin Lu: Exactly. And it turned out that this is not just a problem for auditory processing it's also a problem for visual processing. If you show dyslexics a visual display in which the visual display is clear, they have a little bit of deficit but not significantly. But if you add some noise in the display, like TV snow or some kind of wild noise in the display, dyslexics are much, much worse compared to normals.
Norman Swan: Can you describe some of the experiments you've done?
Zhong-Lin Lu: Yes. With dyslexics of age between 11 to 13 - we showed them visual displays, again we asked them to detect the black and white bars. If you have no noise on the display they are comparable to kids with the same age without dyslexia. If you actually have visual noise in the display they are much, much worse.
Norman Swan: What sort of noise do you put in?
Zhong-Lin Lu: It's just like TV snow, like the channel is not tuned exactly right and then they become much, much worse than the normals. We've also asked them to detect motion in the displays. We have a motion display which is made up of a lot of random dots that are moving either to the left or to the right. If we have all of the dots moving in the one direction or the other they have no problem. If we add other dots that are moving in other directions we have a lot of problems. And this problem is not just limited to auditory perception or visual perception it's also a problem for them in terms of building new categories.
Norman Swan: What do you mean by that?
Zhong-Lin Lu: Suppose we have a deck of cards that are made of red and the green cards and you ask them to sort these cards into two decks and they don't know the rule but you give them feedback. Every time the person makes a choice you tell him when it's correct or incorrect so they can sort all the green cards into one pile and all the red cards into another pile. Dyslexics have no problem compared to people without dyslexia. Now if we make the task a little bit harder and instead of just having green and red cards you have other geometric figures on these cards, now you ask them to sort these cards into two piles and they have to use a combination of several features to decide which pile each card belongs to. Then the dyslexics are much, much worse than the normals. So if we combine these three types of studies what we conclude from this is that dyslexics tend to have problems to formulate new boundaries between categories.
Norman Swan: Whether it's a visual boundary between black and white, an auditory boundary between the teacher and noise in the classroom?
Zhong-Lin Lu: Right.
Norman Swan: Or an intellectual boundary which is the rule is now more complicated and you've got to work out where the dividing line is?
Zhong-Lin Lu: That's right.
Norman Swan: Those are very different things that are going on in the brain though?
Zhong-Lin Lu: Exactly, that's why we have hypothesised that this dyslexia problem is a general problem, it's not just a problem in the auditory system, it's not just a problem in the visual system, it's not just a problem in the more higher lever cognitive system. It's actually a general deficit.
Norman Swan: What does this mean therapeutically to people with dyslexia? You described earlier that with amblyopia maybe one day you could actually use the black and white bars to help people with amblyopia. What could you do with people with dyslexia?
Zhong-Lin Lu: In terms of training schemes like a perceptual learning for dyslexic one could look into training programs that actually help people to view boundaries. For example if you want to train people to recognised speech or visual displays you may want to train them with noisy displays or noisy speech instead of with clear displays or clear speech. If you want to train them, you want to give them more noise.
Norman Swan: And some interesting research going on in Queensland as well using similar techniques, people with dyslexia. Zhong-Lin Lu is Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. I'm Norman Swan and you've been listening to the Health Report.

FILM; Is 3-D Imax the Future or Another Cinerama?
Published: November 13, 1994
(Page 2 of 2)
Ideally, the audience never knows about the high-tension act in the projection booth. Instead, it is looking at the 80-by-100-foot screen, made of perforated vinyl and weighing 800 pounds. In response to infrared signals picked up by the sensors on the 3-D headset, liquid crystal lenses open and close 48 times a second, allowing the picture to be seen by only one eye at a time, which gives the illusion of three dimensions.
The effects can be stunning. The image seems to begin at the end of one's nose and extend as far as the eye can see. In "The Last Buffalo," filmed in a nature park in Alberta, a ferret scrapes and claws its way along a mesa, kicking clouds of dust into the audience so realistically that it's difficult not to flinch. A crane in flight looks as if it is soaring right through the middle of the theater.
On the other hand, images in the foreground are not presented with the same sharp focus as images in the distance, which makes some scenes look like museum dioramas.
For film makers, Imax poses special technical requirements. The equipment is big, for starters. Mr. Annaud, shooting in the Andes, had to call in a helicopter every time he wanted to move his camera for "Wings of Courage." When Stephen Low, a veteran director in the large format, filmed "The Last Buffalo," his crew had to struggle with 2,000 pounds of camera equipment, including a generator.
Filming at the Shubert Theater in New York recently for "Across the Sea of Time," a short 3-D feature film, proved a lot easier. The newest Imax camera weighs a fairly manageable 240 pounds, fully loaded with film, and it can be used with conventional tripods and dollies. For a number from the Broadway musical "Crazy for You," Mr. Low set the camera up at the far right corner of the stage. "The trick is to have layers," he said. The more visual cues for foreground, middle ground and background, the more effective the 3-D.
Lighting has to help define shape and color that punch up the 3-D cues. Too much light and dark contrast, for example, can produce "ghosting," in which an image seems to hover next to itself.
The rhythm of filming is choppy, dictated by the fact that the 1,000 feet of film in the camera runs out in three minutes. Reloading takes at least 10 to 15 minutes. When it's time to move the camera, assistants screw four red aluminum extension poles into it and hoist it aloft on their shoulders, like bearers in a Tarzan movie.
Mr. Low, a veteran of two 3-D Imax films, is a missionary. "We need it and we want it," he said, referring to the coming of 3-D feature films.
But does an audience want to see, say, "My Dinner With Andre" in three dimensions on a screen the size of a two-car garage? Mr. Low is convinced it does. "In the future," he said, "all films will be made in 3-D."
In the present, however, there's plenty of skepticism. As a business proposition, 3-D must show that it can pay its way, particularly in the feature-film format. In the past, Imax has flourished in institutions, like museums, that depend heavily on group sales and class visits. Moving from museum to museum, in runs of eight months or so, a single film can have a life span of five years.
"This medium cannot carry on showing rivers and mountains and planets," Mr. Annaud said. "It must tell stories or die."
But fiction films will have to be marketed differently. "What we're going to be stressing is that this is a great cinematic experience," said Mr. Bernard of Sony Classics. "We don't have to sell the gizmo."
Mark Manson, an entertainment analyst at the brokerage firm Donaldson Lufkin Jenrette, said, "The question is, will there be commercial appeal to a more expensive entertainment experience per minute?" The future of 3-D, and large-screen films in general, may depend, he said, on the ability of companies like Sony to narrow the gap, in price and image, between film and a Broadway show.
BUT IT'S ALSO POSSIBLE that Sony cares less about making a profit from 3-D than about its power to bathe the Sony name in a high-tech luster. If audiences walk away from 3-D deeply believing that Sony equals cutting edge, that could be an image maker's dream.
Dollars and cents aside, success will depend on the artistic potential of the technology. "The future of theaters is definitely in larger screens and better resolution," Mr. Annaud said. "When the equipment is more convenient, I know my colleagues will be thrilled to use it."
Three-D will either advance the art of film, or remain a giddy special-effects machine. The future is in the hands of the artists, not the scientists.
"In some ways, the content will decide whether the technology is good," said Mr. Zito of Digital Pictures. "No one wants to buy a quarter-inch drill. What they want is a hole in the wall." What audiences want is to be entertained. It's up to the corporations to come up with the drill.

If you don't need me
let me go
If you don't want me
tell me so
I can't live there
on your Whimb
I shouldn't be here
with my out streatched limb
My hand is welcoming
my arms are wide
But you walk away
and leave like the tide
Today you came back
But I'm here to let you know
This abuse you call love
is crusifiying my soul

This review is from: ZALMAN Z9 Plus Black Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Pros: 1. Still one of the best in its price range and even better than some higher priced ones.
2. Sufficient ventilation for fans. You can add a lot of led fans in there to make it look amazing.
3. Despite having been released for a while, it's still the best looking Zalman case.
Cons: 1. I've purchased a lot of Zalman products and I never had to complain about a single product, but when I did email them to ask a question, even after a week I got no response. They should work on improving their customer service. Their U.S. phone # disappeared too o.O;;
2.This Z9 Plus kinda needs an update such as a USB 3.0
3. I don't need three 5.25" drive bays. A smaller micro ATX version of this would be so cool and probably be the best mATX case ever. Only a day dream.
Other Thoughts: Once Zalman H1 case comes to the U.S. this will probably be obsolete, but who knows when that will be. Zalman fans should definitely go check that out.
With that said, while I still have this case I also went ahead and purchased the Corsair 550d, NZXT Guardian 921, Bitfenix Prodigy M and Prodigy ITX cases. Corsair 550d is a lot more expensive, but as far as quality I love the Z9 Plus just as much. While the 550d has better cable management, the Z9 looks a whole lot better(like its in another league). Can't even compare to the NZXT Guardian 921. Hands down, Z9 is still my favorite case.
This review is from: RAZER Blackwidow Tournament Edition Gaming Mechanical Keyboard
Pros: 1. Looks like a quality item
2. Feels like a quality item
3. Box looks amazing to display
4. Responds well in games
5. Good size for small desk
Cons: 1. Very noisy, up to a point where people in the next room gets up to tell you to shut your door or go to sleep.
2. Don't see much of a difference between this and my old Sidewinder x4
Other Thoughts: I got into the hype of mechanical switches and at a certain point i'm wondering... why? I bought into these company's commercials thinking i'm going to be like my favorite gamer! Uh-uh. Not gonna happen. Those gamers are probably good with any keyboards out there unless it's broken.
I didn't find much difference between this and my sidewinder x4 except it was much noiser. It definitely does look cool and looks like it's of quality build, but a keyboard isn't going to make you noticeably better. I got it to match my deathadder and goliathus. I might switch all my gears to try something new, but the next time, gamers commercializing will definitely not be the reason.
This review is from: Razer Goliathus Fragged Gaming Mouse Mat - Control Edition - Omega S
Pros: 1. Looks nice
2. Doesn't move as much(kinda does on a glass desk)
3. Awesome looking box
Cons: 1. Need to break into it, to some, it might take a while to get used to.
2. Areas used turns white and fades color really quickly.
Other Thoughts: Some companies spend waaaay too much commercializing with pro gamers and their methods actually work. Buyers quickly assume they've gotten the best gears to get the greatest gaming experience of their life, but in the end... that just means the product will get just that much more expensive. Sometimes for no reason other than hype. Those gamers are probably good at what they due despite what mouse, keyboard or monitors they use.
This mouse pad isn't that bad really and i've used it for about 10 months. As for gaming experience, if you get the fact out of your head that your favorite gamer uses the same equipments, it's just another mouse pad. If i had known i would've just kept my Steelseries, but i'm a sucker too so can't complain. I got it to match my DeathAdder and BlackWidow =T

Roaming around Rome
... the word "compromise". "Sorry not dressed appropriately, can't go any further".
After getting over this first world devastation moment, we consoled ourselves with a Vatican City cup of coffee and croissant.
45 euro later, that's $75 Australian.......and the coffee tasted like..or I dunno, pretty ordinary.
Back to the fountain for tea tonight........might leave the camera at home!
Roman Holiday, part 2
... says they're the same bags that they sell in Florence, but actually cheaper in the Rome store. Some earrings, because they're fun and oh so easy to pack. Then off to a fabulous dinner at this meat market that served a smorgasbord of products on a wooden tray, with a bottle of fine wine, of course.
We left Bill to his studies on Sunday and went off to Frascati for lunch and the local wine. Back ...
Last Day In Roma ~ Sniffle, Sniffle!
... s narrow cobblestone streets was so much fun. Especially when we stopped at a store to get more lemoncello to drink in dixie cups along the way. Jeff and I were flying home the next morning, while the others were taking the train to Florence for the day and flying back home the day after. We said our "goodbyes" in the lobby, it had been a wonderful ten days together & couldn't have asked for a better group of people to break bread with!
The Monastery in Rome... and The Colosseum.
... trip from Florence, I arrived in Rome. And was promptly taken for a ride by a shonky taxi driver. He was not an 'accredited' taxi driver, I don't think. Anyway, we arrived at the Hotel Domus Sessiriana. We had a fight about the cost. He won. Anyway ... couldn't get into my room until after 2pm. It was noon now so I changed and left my gear at reception. The forecast was 26 degrees and 87 per cent humidity. I put on cool ...
All roads lead to Rome...
... songs (Stairway to Heaven, Comfortably Numb, etc.). Does it get any better than that? What an amazing atmosphere to enjoy a final meal in Roma!
Our final stop of the day was – of course – our favourite gelateria; our guy recognized us again, and we left him a tip to say thanks and farewell. Then, back to the apartment to pack up and get ready for the next leg of the journey.
Hard to believe our roads will be leading away from Rome after ...
