Introduction to Internet-Based Audio and Video
The following files are available immediately for viewing and listening over the Internet. All you need to do is click on the file link that you are interested in, and a new window will open to play the video or audio file.
Besides being categorized by subject, the files are also divided into "Introductory" and "Advanced" level groups. Introductory programs are intended for lay audiences with little or no background in biology or medicine. Advanced programs are usually geared more towards students, researchers, or clinicians; however, they contain valuable and interesting information for anyone with a background in biological sciences or a good working knowledge of mental illness biology. Most include a slide show that help you follow the presentation.
Most PCs have the Microsoft Windows Media Player pre-installed, so that you should be able to click on any file in "Microsoft" format and it will play. Other file types may be played with the associated "Player" - which can be downloaded for free from the link provided.
Note: If the video or audio quality is not good it may be because your connection to the Internet is slow, or because of other traffic on the Internet is interrupting your file traffic. If a smaller (dial-up) format is available for that file you may try that file, or you may want to try viewing/listening to the file at a later time when there is less traffic on the Internet. Generally speaking, the Internet in the United States (where most of these files are stored) is busiest (and therefore, slowest) during the early morning (California and New York time) as well as during Lunch, and after dinner. If you can access these files at other times you will likely have a better viewing/listening experience.
Note: Special Thanks to Bill Lichtenstein of Lichtenstein Creative Media and "The Infinite Mind" for his support in educating people about brain disorders. If you like the list below of programs by The Infinite Mind, we recommend you also check out the full list of Infinite Mind programs.

Introduction to "Grand Rounds" Videos - What Are "Grand Rounds?"
Grand rounds are lectures/presentations sponsored by medicals schools. They are meant as continuing education for medical students, clinicians, and researchers. The level of information tends to be more technical, but many times the speaker is presenting on a topic that no one in the room is particularly familiar with, so they will go a little slower have explanatory slides to help the viewers. The most difficult parts for the average viewer tend to be the presentations of research study methodology and results, but these are generally a small part of the entire presentation. Most grand rounds end with a general summary of the information presented, and a question/answer session that can be very informative.
While many grand rounds presentations are extremely good, you frequently have to suffer through a long and boring (5 to 10 minute) introduction. Once you get past all the dedications to all the school's administrators, etc, things get interesting very quickly. Well worth the time if you want to learn the state of the art in these areas. These are high-bandwidth (high quality) videos so for best viewing you should watch this from work or school where the Internet connection is fast (DSL, cable or faster). Just click on the link that you're interested in to start the download.

Special Needs Blogger Weekend Link-up: Share your fave post of the week
I'm starting weekly link-ups for bloggers who have kids with special needs. The idea: share a favorite post of the week. It can be something you wrote, or something another blogger wrote that you loved. It's hard keeping up with each other; hopefully, this will make it a little easier.
What to do:
Where it says "Your name" put the name of your blog followed by the title of your post (or just the name of the post, if there's no room—you get 80 characters).
Like this: Love That Max: I Just Won The Powerball Lottery!
Where it says "Your URL" put the direct link to the post.
Click "Enter." Leave a comment if you want to say more. Done!
Happy linking!

I laugh every time I see "Mr. Linky."ReplyDelete
What a great idea Ellen, thankyou xx I am sharing a link to my latest blog post as we leave our holiday and reflect :)ReplyDelete
I also left a link to one of my posts from this week. It is silly and sometimes that is exactly what I need. I hope others feel the same way. :)ReplyDelete
And, you will recognize one of the meme's I used! Thanks Ellen!!ReplyDelete
Hi Ellen, this is a great idea. I've been gone from blogging for awhile and I can't think of a better way to jump back in. Look forward to reading.ReplyDelete
I linked to a post about Sam's first crush :)
Wonderful blog you have. Shared your recent one about the model with Down Syndrome. I'm glad to see children with disabilities have opportunities just like other children. Poor souls who don't understand how beautiful they are. I'm sharing a post written from a teacher's view: "Is there a Child with Special Needs in the Classroom." It is part of a Special Needs Carnival linking to wonderful posts written by moms and teachers. Thanks for the linky.ReplyDelete
Thanks for providing this meeting place and forum! I linked to a recent post I did about rethinking one of the things many expecting parents say.ReplyDelete
Hi Ellen!ReplyDelete
I am also having a Summer Series for a Disability-related Blog Hop on my blog, With a Little Moxie. All bloggers across the disability spectrum are invited. Not many left - but it would be great if you joined us.
Since it's been successful, we'll probably have a repeat in the Fall. The point is to also connect bloggers who HAVE disabilities with bloggers who have someone in their life with a disability (so say, the difference between being a parent of child with a disability and being a person with a disability). Connect and create community.
The link for this week (which is still live) -
Just left my link to a post on how my 18 year-old son with autism got conned out of $100 on vacation.ReplyDelete
I've been a a reader of your blog for a little while now, and I thank you for creating a place for us to link up and share out posts about special needs. I have linked one of my posts about beating the loneliness that can accompany a child with special needs!ReplyDelete
Great idea Ellen! Thanks for letting us share!ReplyDelete
I left a link to a blog post I wrote abot preparing my son's teachers. School starts soon!!ReplyDelete
Thanks for providing this opportunity, Ellen. I linked DifferentDream.com guest blogger Scott Newport's post to commemorate Bereaved Parents Month.ReplyDelete
I let a link to one of my posts that's kid of funny to me. I remember when my son logged into my computer with my password and left me staring at both he and the computer for minutes on end! That is something I think about today... lol.
The first time I put my link in - No. 4 - didn't go to correct page. Sorry - but I don't know how to take it off. I did re-enter it using full url address. Thanks! Kindergarten & Preschool for Parents & Teachers.ReplyDelete

Yeats' FAIRY AND FOLK
S. Lover
There was wanst upon a time, long
ago, a beautiful lady that lived in a
castle upon the lake beyant, and they say she was promised to a king's son, and
they war to be married, when all of a sudden he was murthered, the crathur (Lord
help us), and threwn into the lake above, and so, of course, he couldn't keep
his promise to the fair lady--and more's the pity.
Well, the story goes that she went out iv her mind, bekase av
loosin' the
king's son--for she was tendher-hearted, God help her, like the rest iv us!--and
pined away after him, until at last, no one about seen her, good or bad; and the
story wint that the fairies took her away.
Well, sir, in coarse a' time, the White Throut, God bless it, was seen in the
sthrame beyant, and sure the people didn't know what to think av the crathur,
seein' as how a white throut was never heard av afar, nor since; and
years upon years the throut was there, just where you seen it this blessed minit, longer nor I can tell--aye
throth, and beyant the memory a' th' ouldest
in the village.
At last the people began to think it must be a fairy; for what else could it
be?--and no hurt nor harm was iver put an the white throut, until some wicked
sinners of sojers kem to these parts, and laughed at all the people, and gibed
and jeered them for thinkin' a' the likes; and one a' them in partic'lar (bad
luck to him; God forgi' me for saying it!) swore he'd catch the throut and ate
it for his dinner--the blackguard!
Well, what would you think o' the villainy of the sojer? Sure enough he catch
the throut, and away wid him home, and puts an the fryin'-pan, and into it he
pitches the purty little thing. The throut squeeled all as one as a christian
crathur, and, my dear, you'd think the sojer id split his sides laughin'--for
he was a harden'd villain; and when he thought one side
was done, he turns it over to fly the other; and, what would you think, but the
divil a taste of a burn was an it all at all; and sure the sojer thought it was
a quare throut that could not be briled. "But," says he, 'I'll give it
another turn by-and-by," little thinkin' what was in store for him, the haythen.
Well, when he thought that side was done he turns it agin, and lo and behould
you, the divil a taste more done that side was nor the other. "Bad luck to me,"
says the sojer, "but that bates the world," says he; "but I'll thry you agin, my
darlint," says he, "as cunnin' as you think yourself;" and so with that he turns
it over, but not a sign of the fire was on the purty throut. "Well," says the
desperate villain--(for sure, sir, only he was a desperate villain
entirely, he might know he was doing a wrong thing, seein' that all his
endeavours was no good)--"Well," says he, "my jolly little throut, maybe you're
fried enough, though you don't seem over well dress'd; but you may be better
than you look, like a singed cat, and a tit-bit afther all," says he; and with
that he ups with his knife and fork to taste a piece a' the throut; but, my
jew'l, the minit he puts his knife into the fish, there was a murtherin'
screech, that you'd think the life id lave you if you hurd it, and away jumps
the throut out av the fryin'-pan into the middle a' the flure; and an the spot
where it fell, up riz a lovely lady--the beautifullest crathur that eyes ever
seen, dressed in white, and a band a' goold in her hair, and a sthrame a' blood
runnin' down her arm.
"Look where you cut me, you villain," says she, and she held out her arm to
him--and, my dear, he thought the sight id lave his eyes.
"Couldn't you lave me cool and comfortable in the river where you snared me,
and not disturb me in my duty?" says she.
Well, he thrimbled like a dog in a wet sack, and at last he stammered out
somethin', and begged for his life, and ax'd her ladyship's pardin, and said he
didn't know she was on duty, or he was too good a sojer not to know betther nor to meddle wid
"I was on duty, then," says the lady; "I was watchin' for my true love
that is comin' by wather to me," says she, "an' if he comes while I'm away, an'
that I miss iv him, I'll turn you into a pinkeen, and I'll hunt you up and down
for evermore, while grass grows or wather runs."
Well the sojer thought the life id lave him, at the thoughts iv his
turned into a pinkeen, and begged for mercy; and with that says the lady--
"Renounce your evil coorses," says she, "you villain, or you'll repint it too
late; be a good man for the futhur, and go to your duty1 reg'lar,
and now," says she, "take me back and put me into
the river again, where you found me."
"Oh, my lady," says the sojer, "how could I have the heart to drownd a
beautiful lady like you?"
But before he could say another word, the lady was vanished, and there he saw
the little throut an the ground. Well he put it in a clean plate, and away he
runs for the bare life, for fear her lover would come while she was away; and he
run, and he run, even till he came to the cave agin, and threw the throut into
the river. The minit he did, the wather was as red as blood for a little while,
by rayson av the cut, I suppose, until the sthrame washed the stain away; and to
this day there's a little red mark an the throut's side, where it was
Well, sir, from that day out the sojer was an altered man, and reformed his
ways, and went to his duty reg'lar, and fasted three times a-week--though it was
never fish he tuk an fastin' days, for afther the fright he got, fish id never
rest an his stomach--savin' your presence.
But anyhow, he was an altered man, as I said before, and in coorse o' time he
left the army, and turned hermit at last; and they say he used to pray
evermore for the soul of the White Throut.
[These trout stories are common all over Ireland. Many holy wells are haunted
by such blessed trout. There is a trout in a well on the border of Lough Gill,
Sligo, that some paganish person put once on the gridiron. It carries the marks
to this day. Long ago, the saint who sanctified the well put that trout there.
Nowadays it is only visible to the pious, who have done due penance.]

text: Banks stopped three new attempts to abuse the Swift financial transfer network this summer, its CEO Gottfried Leibbrandt said Monday, as he announced Swift's plan to impose tighter security controls on its customers.Swift provides the network that banks use to exchange funds internationally, and hit the headlines in February when attackers almost got away with a billion-dollar heist at Bangladesh Bank. In the end, they only succeeded in stealing $81 million after hacking bank systems connected to the Swift network.That prompted Swift to ratchet up security around its systems, which weren't themselves breached, updating the software it provides banks and adding new audit and verification tools.Despite the risk to their businesses and reputations, though, banks have been slow to make the changes, so from next year, Swift is going to make many of them mandatory.Leibbrandt revealed details of the three new thwarted attacks during a keynote speech at the Sibos banking conference in Geneva on Monday.A few months ago, he said, he received a call. "One of our banks had been alerted by their clearing correspondent that there was something fishy with their transactions," he said. An investigation showed that the bank had been compromised and that payment reports had been altered -- similar to the way in which the Bangladesh Bank theft was performed."Next day I get another call. The clearing correspondent had found that the ultimate beneficiary of these transactions, a mule account, featured in transactions of yet another bank. We contacted that bank and that bank too had been compromised," he continued."Fortunately, it had already been alerted by the bank of the ultimate beneficiary, who had had anti-money-laundering concerns over that final account," he said. By working together the four banks, on four different continents, were able to prevent any money from being lost."A few weeks later, another case," Leibbrandt said. "This was a bank that had the latest antivirus and had updated the latest security patch on our software, and in that case alerts from the antivirus and from the latest security patch triggered alerts that prevented further fraud happening there as well."That third failed attack showed the importance of banks securing their own environments through multifactor authentication, securing their credentials, using antivirus and firewalls, and applying the latest updates and security patches to operating software, all things Leibbrandt likened to "basic hygiene."But, he warned, "There are other cases we've seen where the attacks are successful, and we expect this to continue and get more sophisticated."To combat such attacks, by next July Swift will require customers to self-certify their compliance with a set of 16 core security standards, and from Jan. 1, 2018 will also conduct audits.Swift will make information about banks' compliance with the new rules available to their regulators and to their correspondent banks, allowing the latter to check whether their counterparty "has washed his hands for dinner, so to speak," Leibbrandt said, continuing his hygiene analogy.Details of the new security standards aren't finalized yet: Swift plans to hold a two-month consultation on them from the end of October, publishing the final rules next March.It's not just Swift's customers that will have to change to keep out the attackers."We are also investing in our own security," Leibbrandt said. "We have not been breached, as far as we are aware -- and I always add the 'as far as we are aware' because I truly believe that in cyber only the paranoid survive."

If someone is local and is planning to surf would mind PMing me some info I'd appreciate it. More than anything, where would be a good spot to rent a fiberglass board, and best tides for certain spots. I ride anything from a 5'6" to 9' log, and enjoy mush to barrels. Just looking to put a new notch on the surfing spot bedpost. Probably only go for 3-4 hours since I'm visiting family. Thanks, Pete

Next year you'll probably find me marching at the Heritage of Pride march down 5th Avenue in Manhattan. Perhaps with the Queer New York Bloggers contingent. I keep getting invited and turning them down because I'm never around for pride weekend in New York. At least during the last couple of years. Then again, I might have marched in my last gay pride march ever.
Truth be told, I've felt a bit prided out the last few years. I see a rainbow flag and I cringe. The thought of hours and hours of commercially sponsored floats carrying a seemingly inexhaustible number of go-go boys and drag queens dancing to the same Lady Gaga song doesn't seem as fresh to me as when go-go boys and drag queens were dancing to Madonna way back. And watching some of the Latino groups spend all that money on the glorious feathered costumes and elaborate floats breaks my heart when I know how hard they work for the money, if only to blow it on a couple of hours in the sun.
Don't get me wrong! Some of my best friends are go-go boys and drag queens! They are also from Latin America! It's just that when the New York City Department of Health does a float promoting crystal-meth addiction awareness and sees the need to put 20 go-go boys dancing around the float to call attention to the message, well, there is something really wrong with the world.
In other words, I have turned into an old gay geezer.
So when I tell you that I marched at a gay pride march a week ago Sunday and that it was an incredibly moving experience don't just take it with a grain of salt. It was a revelation...
I mean, it wasn't just ANY gay pride. It was the 13th annual gay pride in the city where I was born: Medellín, Colombia... and the first time I ever participated in it.
I mean, this is the city I left in the late 1990's when I didn't think it was possible to live an openly gay life. It wasn't that there weren't any gay people in Medellín at the time. I remember summer romances with two Colombian soldiers, one of whom offered me one of his hollow-point rifle bullets as a keepsake when he found out I was leaving (I refused it, thinking it would explode halfway through the trip back to the United States).
I mean, I was 20 at the time.
I mean, that's Calle 13's "Fiesta de Locos" blasting out of the speakers ---- and every single person singing it!
I mean...
OMG! Never in a million years would I have expected all this 'Glee'ness to happen in Medellín. I was enthralled.
The march was actually one of two gay pride marches in the city that day. This particular one was pulled together by Edisón Arboleda of the LGBT-rights organization Corporación El Otro. It got off to a slow start and it took ages to make our way downtown, amidst huge sudden downpours and a loss of marchers.
But, as marchers made it over the Colombia Street bridge and into the mostly empty industrial area of downtown Medellín, the march truly turned into one huge party.
I know it might seem like any pride march anywhere in the world to you but it sent chills down my spine. It still does as I watch these clips.
A few things I noticed: Only a couple of commercial floats, police turning away a number of drunk soccer hooligans shouting homophobic slurs as a few drag queens watched them being taken away, a march where participants and spectators were allowed free movement instead of penning people in as they do in New York, young queer folk everywhere, a cute photographer from El Tiempo and, yes, Lady Gaga.
I also took a few photos (and so did my brother). And that was my gay pride this year. How was yours?

As one of the world's leading tyre manufacturers, Continental has again added to its range of passenger car and light truck tyres. Almost every car in Europe can be equipped with tyres developed in Hanover. As roughly one third of all new cars manufactured in Europe are fitted with Continental tyres as original equipment, car dealerships and specialist tyre dealers alike carry an extensive range of replacement tyres as specified by the automakers. With a total of six models to choose from – ContiSportContact 5 P, ContiSportContact 5, ContiPremiumContact 5, ContiEcoContact 5, and the Conti.eContact for all-electric and hybrid vehicles – Continental has the tyres to meet almost every need.
For high-performance sports cars and high-end tuners: the ContiSportContact 5 P
High-powered models with rear-wheel drive can gain a real edge in terms of acceleration, braking, and handling when fitted with different sized tyres at the front and rear. The ContiSportContact 5 P was designed for this drive concept and is manufactured as two different models – one for the front wheels and one for the rear. Sports cars with front-wheel drive can be fitted with the front-wheel version all round.
The tread design features large contact patches for maximum traction. Two robust central ribs in the asymmetrical tread deliver top-class grip at the rear. They ensure that the car can put down its full power even under sharp acceleration. At the same time the block structure on the outer shoulder of the tyre ensures good transmission of lateral forces. In particular, this promotes direct handling as steering commands are executed fast and reliably. To reinforce this effect, on the front-wheel tyre the developers have dispensed with one of the central ribs to accommodate wider block structures in the interests of enhanced handling. To keep brake applications as short and measured as possible, the tread blocks at the center of the tyre are mutually supported by small bars that prevent the blocks giving way.
As a result, the designs of the front and rear tyres are perfectly geared to one another and to being fitted on the respective axles. The range includes tyres between 225 and 335 millimeters wide and with aspect ratios of between 45 and 25 percent for rims from 18 to 23 inches.
For sporty cars and powerful SUVs: the ContiSportContact 5
In the ContiSportContact 5, Continental has a product that suits both sporty cars and SUVs with sporty ambitions. The tyre offers firm grip and short braking distances on wet and dry roads. Its special features include low rolling resistance for a sports tyre and high mileage. This is made possible by its BlackChilliCompound that provides maximum grip under braking but also makes for low rolling resistance during normal driving. The ContiSportContact 5 serves up very precise handling, clearing the way for very sporty performance. Continental offers this high-tech tyre for passenger cars in sizes of between 17 and 21 inches and with aspect ratios from 50 to 35 percent, while the range of sizes for SUVs extends from 18 to 20 inches with aspect ratios from 60 to 35 percent. Both versions are approved for speeds of up to 300 km/h.
For compact to luxury models: the ContiPremiumContact 5
The popular ContiPremiumContact 5 delivers impressively short braking distances on dry and wet roads, high mileage, precision handling, a comfortable ride, and low rolling resistance. This summer tyre for compact to luxury models is available in 75 versions for rims between 14 and 17 inches and is approved for speeds of up to 300 km/h. In several tyre tests by the trade press last year, the ContiPremiumContact 5 finished best in test.
Low rolling resistance plus safety: the ContiEcoContact 5
In the past, combining short braking distances on wet and dry roads with low rolling resistance was considered extremely difficult. In the ContiEcoContact 5 there is a car tyre that unites these two abilities with apparent ease. In the development process this called for changes in every component of the tyre . But the outcome – with shorter braking distances in the wet – was a 20 percent drop in rolling resistance and a 12 percent increase in mileage. As a result, a car fitted with the new ContiEcoContact 5 can be operated with some three percent less fuel than the same car on standard tyres. The ContiEcoContact 5 is available in 93 versions in sizes from 13 to 19 inches and is approved for speeds of up to 300 km/h.
For electric cars and hybrids: the Conti.eContact
Continental has taken the Conti.eContact – originally launched in 2011 with electric vehicles in mind – and refined it specifically to meet the needs of hybrid models. Thanks to the introduction of numerous new technologies and processes, this new and extensively hand-crafted summer tyre is the first from Continental to obtain the top 'A' rating on the EU Tyre Label for both wet grip and rolling resistance, without making substantial compromises in terms of the many other performance characteristics. The rolling resistance of the new Conti.eContact for hybrid vehicles is some 20 percent lower than in a conventional tire, while delivering a wet braking performance similar to that of a normal car tire. Continental is now offering nine tire sizes for 17 and 18-inch rims, specially designed for models such as the Opel Ampera, BMW 5 ActiveHybrid, Lexus LS 600h, and Porsche Cayenne S Hybrid, as well as other cars and SUVs with hybrid drive. Given that this is a new vehicle segment that also involves highly complex production processes, Continental is kicking off with low-volume production at its French tire plant in Sarreguemines.

A group of moms and their teenagers took a technology test. They were asked about some new apps that allow kids to call, text and send pictures for free, and they were also quizzed on the latest texting shorthand. Perhaps not surprisingly, some parents didn't score too well.
Carol Coleman was surprised to learn "LMIRL" means "Let's meet in real life." Michelle Burgess figured out "GYPO" means "Get your pants off."
The experts at SmartParents, a service that allows parents to monitor their children online, says it's so important to know what kids are saying on their high-tech devices.
"There's been kind of an arms race between parents and technology and parents are losing," said Gerry Polucci, CEO of SmartParents.
There are new apps out there that allow teens to call and text for free without a data plan. There are also apps that allow people to text pictures that disappear from the receiver's phone in seconds.
According to 28 percent of teens, they have sexted naked photos of themselves. What they don't realize is that those pictures aren't always gone for good.
"The receiving person can take a screen shot of that on their iPhone," said Polucci.
The very latest chat terms are anything but innocent. Few of the parents who took the test knew that GNRN means "Get naked right now," and that IMEZRU means "I'm easy are you?"
Teens use shorthand to KPC, or keep parents clueless, but they're not alone.
"Sexual predators use these acronyms for much the same reason," said Tim Woda.
Woda says an online sexual predator used teen chat abbreviations like "AL," or "Age and location," to target his 14-year-old son.
"I was terrified," Woda said.
He told police, and the man chatting with his son was arrested.
"This particular predator had over 250,000 lines of sentences in code written in his computer where he was targeting and grooming children," Woda said.
Experts say don't just look at your kid's browsing history, you should also monitor the apps they download and stay on top of the latest tech lingo.

Cold Water Pickle Time
3 comments:

Reminds me of taking daikon, putting them in crockery and watching them turn into takuon. I think soy was the fermenting agent, but can remember. We also made a Japanese form of Plum brandy in a similar fashion and truly appreciated it during the deep Winter months when we woke to a frozen world at 5 in the morning. Would your cold water pickle method also work for sauerkraut?
Actually for sauerkraut all you need is cabbage and salt. Shred the cabbage and bruise it to release its water and add kosher or pickling salt and in a couple of weeks the natural lactic bacteria in the cabbage will make kraut. Kim chi is, of course, the same thing only made with bok choi or Napa cabbage with the addition of some garlic and lots of red pepper. Here is a like for making basic kraut. http://www.wildfermentation.com/making-sauerkraut-2/

Thanks! Kim chi is a favorite....makes me hungry for Bi Bim Bob.

What Is Amblyopia?
Vision Therapy at Vision Professionals offers vision therapy to effectively treat amblyopia (lazy eye) in children and adults alike, using the latest, proven methods of neuro-optometric therapy and developmental optometry—generally referred to as Vision Therapy. Amblyopia, commonly referred to as "lazy eye", is a condition where the brain and eyes are not functioning together in unison the way they should. This results in a loss of vision and a significant difference in power between the eyes.
Amblyopia Generally Begins At Birth
Amblyopia generally begins at birth or in early childhood. Since amblyopia doesn't have any obvious symptoms, it can go unnoticed for years—while the situation deteriorates. Parents and health care professionals are not always aware that there is a problem until the amblyopia is well-established. It takes an experienced and highly-trained developmental optometrist to diagnose amblyopia early-on, and the earlier the diagnosis, the more effectively amblyopia can be treated using Vision Therapy.
Amblyopia Is Often Confused With Strabismus
Amblyopia is often confused with Strabismus (eye-turns), which is further complicated by the fact that amblyopia can be strabismic, although that isn't always the case. If a person has amblyopia, one eye or the other is deemed weaker by the brain, so it stops processing as much visual information from the weaker eye in order to compensate for the more powerful eye. Sometimes both eyes fail to develop a clear vision. This imbalance or general lack of power in the eyes is called amblyopia.
Amblyopia Leads To Poor Visual Acuity
Amblyopia can cause poor visual acuity, weak eye coordination and poor depth perception. This can result in clumsiness, tripping or knocking into things, and may also lead to difficulties with reading and learning.
What Causes Amblyopia?
Amblyopia is usually caused by at least one of the following three conditions:
- Strabismus, wandering eye, or eye turns, where the eyes fail to align either vertically or horizontally. This is referred to as strabismic amblyopia.
- Refractive issues such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and distortions caused by astigmatism.
- Congenital Cataracts
Strabismus is also called Crossed Eyes, Wandering Eyes, or Wall Eye. It is the inability to point both eyes in the same direction.
- Esotropia: one eye may turn in relative to the other
- Exotropia: one eye turns out relative to the other.
- Hypertropia: one eye turns up relative to the other
- Hypotropia: one eye turns up relative to the other
The eye turn may occur constantly or only intermittently. If it is constant, that means that it occurs all or much of the time. Intermittent means that it occurs only some of the time, such as only when a person is tired or has done a lot of reading.
It may alternate, which means that at times one eye turns while at other times, it is the other eye that turns.
Strabismus may cause double vision (diplopia). In order to avoid seeing double, vision in one eye may be ignored (suppressed).
If this occurs from birth or soon after, then the ignored eye does not develop the "wiring" or signal to the brain, and this ends up causing a lazy eye (amblyopia). Amblyopia (lazy eye) can occur even if the eyes are pointing straight.
Strabismus is treated by a combination of special eyeglasses, prisms, surgery, or Vision Therapy. The right treatment depends on the cause of the strabismus. Surgery often makes the eyes appear straight, but the visual system is still not balanced between the eyes. Most of the time, lasting and effective treatment for strabismus requires Vision Therapy.
Bilateral & Unilateral Amblyopia
Bilateral Amblyopia ― amblyopia in both channels/eyes ―occurs when the power (prescription) in both eyes is very high.
It's important to correct amblyopia as early as possible before the brain ignores vision in the affected eye. However, amblyopia IS treatable in adults as well. The brain is remarkably plastic, and this plasticity allows for Vision Therapy to be effective even when treating adults with Amblyopia.
Congenital Cataracts
Congenital cataracts are opaque or cloudy coverings which distort vision (cataracts)— they are present from the time of birth. The severity of congenital cataracts can vary from minor to full visual impairment and can occur in one eye (unilateral) or both eyes (bilateral). This condition is usually caused by genetic preconditions and/or metabolic disorders. Congenital cataracts can result in amblyopia, which can persist even after the cataracts are removed.
Amblyopia Questions And Answers
Does Patching or Atropine Treat Amblyopia?
These treatments may be used together with Vision Therapy, but on their own aren't very effective. This is because patching and atropine do not address the underlying neuro-visual problems which result in the amblyopia in the first place.
Patching is commonly recommended to treat amblyopia, but it's really an outdated and ineffective treatment. Atropine drops are sometimes recommended in place of patching. The idea behind both patching and atropine is that these treatments "penalize" the good eye, causing the weaker eye to compensate, adjust and gain focus.
The problem with patching and atropine is that they don't treat the underlying neuro-visual cause of the amblyopia.
Patching or atropine drops only address the symptoms. Vision therapy teaches the brain to use both eyes together effectively. This is referred to as "eye-teaming" and improving the ability to team the eyes is essential for an effective and long-lasting treatment of amblyopia. Therefore, the best and most effective solution for treating amblyopia is vision therapy.
Will My Child Outgrow Lazy Eye / Amblyopia?
No. This is a common myth perpetuated by many healthcare providers. Amblyopia does not go away on its own. Untreated, it will significantly and negatively affect a child's ability to learn, thrive, and function academically and socially. The earlier one receives treatment for lazy eye, the better.
As you get older, eye patching and atropine therapy tend to be even less effective than it is for children. However, Vision Therapy remains effective at any age. While the techniques may take a little longer, Vision Therapy is still a proven treatment method. If you would like to discuss whether Vision Therapy is right for you, contact our caring staff at the Vision Therapy at Vision Professionals in Columbus, Ohio. Dr. Kimberly Rock will evaluate your condition and determine the best course of action for you.
Can Adults Be Treated For Lazy Eye / Amblyopia?
Yes. The common wisdom is that lazy eye can only be treated in early childhood. While this is preferable, Vision Therapy can and is effectively used to treat lazy eye in adults as well. The brain is still plastic throughout adulthood and can adapt and change even once it's fully developed. This means that the Vision Therapy activities and exercises are effective for adults as long as the patient diligently follows the program.
Is LASIK Surgery Useful for Amblyopia?
Ophthalmologists will not typically perform LASIK on the good eye in an individual with amblyopia. The recommended approach is to first have the amblyopia treated using Vision Therapy.
Can I Serve In The Military If I Have Amblyopia?
Probably. There is a list of entry requirements for people with amblyopia, so it depends upon where you fall within these categories. The more severe cases of amblyopia will not be accepted. We recommend scheduling a developmental eye exam to assess your eligibility for military service.
Does Computer Use Make Amblyopia Worse?
There is no direct link between computer use and amblyopia. Computer use, however, is not without its own problems. The blue light from modern LED screens can cause eyestrain, soreness, blurriness, and long-term damage to the retina. Extended computer screen use can also exacerbate the symptoms of dry eye. At the The Vision Therapy Center at Practice Name, we recommend using blue light protective lenses and taking frequent breaks to look at objects at a distance. This applies whether or not you have amblyopia.
How Much Does Vision Therapy Cost?
The cost of Vision Therapy for amblyopia depends on how long and intensive the required treatment is. This will depend on the severity of the amblyopia, age, and how responsive you are to the treatment. There is no single answer for how many treatments will be required. Vision Therapy is customized to each patient's individuals needs and everyone responds at their own pace.
The most important thing to keep in mind is the cost of NOT getting effective treatment. It can result in a lifetime of difficulty interpreting visual symbols, problems with reading, as well as academic and professional struggles.
Is Vision Therapy For Amblyopia Covered By Health Insurance?
Every medical plan is different. However, for the time being, most Vision Therapy programs are not covered by the majority of medical or vision insurance plans, including OHIP. However, you also need to consider the cost to you or your child's life success if amblyopia is not effectively treated.
Can I Treat Amblyopia At Home?
There are things that you can do at home, such as eye patching or performing certain eye exercises. However, long-term effective treatment will also require in-office Vision Therapy with an experienced professional. Only a developmental optometrist or vision therapist can assess the progress of your treatment and customize the treatment plan that's right for you. Home exercises without the ongoing supervision of a vision therapist will have limited success, and is not recommended.

Diet Soda and fruit juice are 'biggest culprits in dental erosion'
Article by David McNamee | Featured on Medical News Today
Soft drinks are the most significant factor in severity of dental erosion, according to a new study published in the Journal of Public Health Dentistry.
Dental erosion is when enamel – the hard, protective coating of the tooth – is worn away by exposure to acid. The erosion of the enamel can result in pain – particularly when consuming hot or cold food – as it leaves the sensitive dentine area of the tooth exposed.
The enamel on the tooth becomes softer and loses mineral content when we eat or drink anything acidic. However, this acidity is cancelled out by saliva, which slowly restores the natural balance within the mouth. But if the mouth is not given enough time to repair itself – because these acid attacks are happening too often – the surface of the teeth is worn away.
Anything with a pH value (the measure of acidity) lower than 5.5 can damage the teeth. Diet and regular sodas, carbonated drinks, flavored fizzy waters, sports drinks, fruit and fruit juices are all known to be harmful to teeth if they are consumed too often.
Study finds that a 'substantial proportion' of adults have dental erosion
The study finds that a substantial proportion of adults show some evidence of dental erosion, with the most severe cases being among people who drink sugary soft drinks and fruit juices.
Examining 3,773 participants, the researchers found 79% had evidence of dental erosion, 64% had mild tooth wear, 10% had moderate tooth wear and 5% displayed signs of severe tooth wear. The participants in the study with moderate and severe tooth wear consumed more soft drinks and fruit juices each day than the other groups.
Among participants with lower levels of tooth wear, the researchers found that milk was a more popular drink than soda or fruit juice.
Men were also found to be at twice the risk for dental erosion as women, and tooth wear became more severe with age among the participants.
Commenting on the study, Dr. Nigel Carter OBE, chief executive of the British Dental Health Foundation, says that while fruit juice may be a nutritious drink, the high concentrations of sugar and acid can lead to severe dental damage if these drinks are consumed often each day.
"Water and milk are the best choices by far, not only for the good of our oral health but our overall health too," says Dr. Carter. "Remember, it is how often we have sugary foods and drinks that causes the problem so it is important that we try and reduce the frequency of consumption."
He adds:
"Dental erosion does not always need to be treated. With regular check-ups and advice your dental team can prevent the problem getting any worse and the erosion going any further. The more severe cases of tooth wear can often result in invasive and costly treatment so it is important that we keep to a good oral hygiene routine to make sure these future problems do not arise."
Many sodas and fruit juices contain at least six teaspoons of sugar, and as they often come in portions that are larger than recommended, they can lead to tooth decay as well as dental erosion.

While The City Sleeps (1956)
When media mogul Amos Kyne (Robert Warwick) dies, his business, which includes a major newspaper, a television station, and a wire news service, is turned over to his sole heir, his foppish, ne'er do well son (Vincent Price). The younger Kyne has no knowledge of how to run the company his father built, preferring to spend his time spending the money that it generates, and he decides to let the heads of the three divisions -- newspaper editor John Day Griffith (Thomas Mitchell), wire service chief Mark Loving (George Sanders), and photo chief Harry Kritzer (James Craig) -- fight it out among themselves, winner-take-all. Each one has a key alley: Griffith, in Edward Mobley (Dana Andrews), a top reporter who is lately appearing on television as well; Loving, in resourceful but sluttish columnist Mildred Donner (Ida Lupino), who has her own way of digging up secrets; and Kritzer, who doesn't think he needs to dig up secrets because he's sitting on the biggest one of all, his "friendship" with Kyne's ex-model wife, Dorothy (Rhonda Fleming). Mobley becomes a focal point because the story-of-the-moment concerns the "Lipstick Killer," a serial murderer, burglar, and sex fiend who has been terrorizing the city -- break that case first and the job is won, and Mobley's specialty is crime reporting. The Lipstick Killer, a disturbed teenager named Robert Manners (John Drew Barrymore), continues to elude the police, and Loving's stumbling attempts to get information out first don't aid in the manhunt. Meanwhile, Mobley, using his own deductive powers and some basic psychology, manages to get under the killer's skin from afar on television and in print; however, unbeknownst to the reporter, the murderer is feeling more pressure to commit his crimes, and taking a very personal interest in targeting Mobley and his fiancée, Nancy Liggett (Sally Forrest). The two interwoven stories all get pulled together in a chase through the streets and into the city's subway tunnels, with Mobley, Nancy, Police Lieutenant Kaufman (Howard Duff), and the killer all crossing paths.

KDE Plasma Dependency Generation and PackageKit Integration
Add automatically-generated RPM dependencies for services related to KDE Plasma (e.g. Plasma script engines, Plasma data engines) and PackageKit hooks to use them to Plasma.

Current status
- Targeted release: Fedora 17
- Last updated: 2011-12-03
- Percentage of completion: 100%
All patches are already in Rawhide. Several of them have also been upstreamed to the relevant projects (but Fedora 17 is the first Fedora release where the feature is enabled and complete).
Detailed Description
Plasma widgets (also known as plasmoids) can be installed from 2 sources:
- Fedora packages (or distribution packages in general): For plasmoids written in C++, this is the only alternative.
- the Open Collaboration Services (OCS) API, which allows installing plasmoids written in scripting languages directly from upstream. (Plasma provides an OCS-based dialog to easily download and install plasmoids written in scripting languages.)
Such Plasmoids can depend on services provided by Plasma, in particular:
- data engines: These engines act as libraries providing some information to plasmoids. They can be used to bridge languages (e.g. a Python plasmoid can use a data engine written in C), share code or just provide a clean frontend (plasmoid) / backend (data engine) separation. For example, several weather plasmoids (some of them written in scripting languages) all share the weather data engine provided by kdeplasma-addons.
- some other services, e.g. "weather ions" (plugins for the weather data engine)
The need to be addressed is how to drag in those dependencies in an effective way:
- For Fedora packages, we would like to have the dependencies handled automatically by RPM instead of error-prone manual specification.
- For plasmoids installed through OCS, the dependencies are currently not handled at all. For example, if the user wants to install a Ruby-based plasmoid without having the plasma-scriptengine-ruby package installed, he/she will just get a cryptic error message. (Making Ruby a hard dependency of kdebase-workspace would be highly impractical.) We would like packaged script or data engines required by the installed plasmoid to be automatically installed when the user downloads and installs the plasmoid.
Benefit to Fedora
Users will be able to install Plasma widgets (plasmoids) written in scripting languages through "Add widgets… / Download new widgets…" and automatically get the required Fedora packages for those widgets to actually work installed. This gives users convenient access to upstream's huge widget library without manually having to install dependencies such as
plasma-scriptengine-*. (It is not possible to include all the script engines and the script interpreters they require on the live image and thus in the default installation.)
It looks like Fedora will be the first distribution to offer this convenient Plasma feature, developed by Fedora.
The feature can be split into 2 parts:
- Dependency extraction
- PackageKit integration
Dependency extraction can again be split into 2 parts:
- Provides: This is the easier part because it is already well covered by metadata. The main goal there is to bring the information provided by the metadata into a form usable in RPM.
- Requires: This is the harder part because the metadata provided by upstream does not currently include dependencies. Several strategies to handle this can and will be envisioned:
- Explicit specification, i.e. require the Plasma metadata to list dependencies explicitly. Pros: reliable, allows installing dependencies immediately. Cons: does not work for existing plasmoids, error-prone.
- Automatic extraction from the source code, similar to how the RPM dependency extractors for scripting languages work. Pros: allows installing dependencies immediately (build-time auto-extraction) or almost immediately (auto-extraction run on downloaded sources), works for existing plasmoids, no developer efforts. Cons: probably needs extra code for each scripting language, can be fooled by convoluted code (e.g. requesting a data engine in a non-obvious way).
- Runtime downloading, i.e. firing up KPackageKit/Apper (KPackageKit will be renamed to Apper as of the next upstream release) when a service which is not installed yet is requested. Pros: reliable, works for existing plasmoids, no developer efforts. Cons: dependencies can only be installed on first use, which is not the most user-friendly approach.
For PackageKit integration, Plasma needs to be taught to request the installation of a dependency through a PackageKit interface (to be provided by KPackageKit/Apper; for Fedora, org.freedesktop.PackageKit.Modify.InstallPackageNames could probably be abused at first, but for cross-distribution compatibility, which is essential for getting the feature upstreamed, a dedicated API like the existing InstallFontconfigResources, InstallGStreamerResources or InstallPrinterDrivers APIs should be used):
- For explicitly specified or automatically extracted dependencies, this should happen after downloading the metadata (or the entire plasmoid package, they're usually small anyway).
- For runtime downloading, this needs to happen when the uninstalled service is requested by a plasmoid.
The feature was implemented as a Google Summer of Code 2011 project with Fedora (mentored by Rex Dieter).
How To Test
- Install Fedora 17 KDE, or start the live CD. (No special hardware needed.)
- Verify that
plasma-scriptengine-pythonis NOT installed, or
yum remove plasma-scriptengine-python.
- Click on the "panel toolbox" icon (which looks like a cashew nut) at the right end of the panel.
- Click "Add widgets…".
- Click "Get new widgets… / Download new widgets".
- Search for "Veromix" (a widget written in Python) and install it.
- You should get prompted by Apper for installing the Python script engine.
- Installing the Python script engine (through the Apper interface which comes up) should succeed.
- Veromix should now be in the list of widgets which can be added to the panel through "Add widgets…". Add it.
- You should see a working widget.
Of course, Veromix is just an example known to work. The same should work for almost all widgets available through that interface (though some might be incorrectly packaged by the upstream author). Any required script engines and/or data engines should get dragged in.
User Experience
- The user clicks on the panel "cashew".
- The user clicks "Add widgets…".
- The user clicks "Get new widgets… / Download new widgets".
- The user searches for his/her favorite widget and installs it.
- The widget now shows up in the list of widgets to add.
- The user adds the widget to the panel.
- The user ends up with a "broken widget" icon or a nonfunctional widget.

- PackageKit ≥ 0.6.16 – in Rawhide since July 4, 2011
- Apper – in Rawhide since October 17, 2011 (and a KPackageKit build with the patch backported had been in Rawhide since August 1, 2011)
- or gnome-packagekit ≥ 3.1.3 for those who want to use that – in Rawhide since July 4, 2011
- RPM dependency generators for Plasma – included in Rawhide's kde-settings since August 20, 2011
- libplasma patches implementing the feature – included in Rawhide's kdelibs since August 20, 2011
Contingency Plan
- The RPM dependency generators (or just the Requires part) can be dropped from kde-settings if they cause trouble.
- The libplasma patches can be dropped from kdelibs if they cause trouble. (The PackageKit changes will have no effect without the libplasma part. In fact, due to having been merged upstream during the summer, they are already included in Fedora 16 without being noticed. ;-) )
Release Notes
KDE Plasma's "download new widgets" feature now automatically prompts for installing the script engines and data engines required by the installed widget through Apper. (Plasma can also prompt for installing missing components at other times, but typically, the prompt happens when installing a widget.) This new feature, developed by Fedora, gives users convenient access to KDE's huge Plasma widget library without having to manually install dependencies such as

Yet more motorcycles
This gallery shows some motorcycle photos over a variety of occasions - whenever I could trap the bike under my lights, essentially. The first 57 images were shot during my stay in Washington state, either in owners' garages or mine. Those all benefit from studio lights and some experiments with various cameras. The captions tell more about where and when. Thanks to the owners for their co-operation!Read More
