Authorities are searching for a gunman after a meteorologist for a Texas TV station was shot multiple times while leaving the studio this morning. Patrick Crawford, the morning weatherman for KCEN in Bruceville-Eddy near Waco, had climbed into his car around 9.15am on Wednesday when the man approached and they exchanged words. The suspect, a man in his 30s, pulled out a semi-automatic handgun and shot Crawford repeatedly in the body and arm as he sat in his car, DPS Trooper D.L. Wilson said. Crawford managed to back up at high speed and drive out of the parking lot. He crossed the interstate and drove to a group of construction workers, who administered first aid and called 911. Crawford, who grew up in Plano, Texas and earned his meteorology degree from Northern Illinois University, moved from New Orleans and joined the station in September 2012. 'He was entering the car when the exchange of gunfire, or the gunfire started,' Senior Trooper DL Wilson with Highway Patrol told KHOU. 'He did an excellent job getting in the car speeding off and probably saved his life.' He was taken to Scott and White Memorial Hospital in Temple and underwent surgery. Crawford's friends told KCEN that he is doing well and that doctors said he is 'very lucky'. As he drove off, the suspect fled on foot. 'He is considered armed and dangerous at this time,' Wilson said. 'We're still going with a white male, 30 to 35, receding hairline, had a black hoodie and dark-colored pants.' Police have launched a massive search for the suspect, who was described as a white male aged between 30 and 35. He was dressed in dark clothing and has a receding hairline. On Wednesday afternoon, authorities said they had a person of interest in custody, but KXXV later reported that it was not the gunman. Instead, the man in custody, who does not speak English, had been seen running from the area because he had warrants out for his arrest. Attack: Patrick Crawford, pictured left with his fellow KCEN hosts on Wednesday morning, was shot repeatedly in the body and arm as he left the studio just hours after this photo was taken. Texas Department of Public Safety officers DL Wilson, left and Harpin Myers, give a briefing on the morning shooting of a weather forecaster during an altercation outside the KCEN-TV studio along Interstate 35 between Waco and Temple. Concerns: Law enforcement officers set up near a command post while looking for the gunman. Search: Police Sgt Ken Wolff stands guard at a checkpoint as authorities look for the shooter near Waco. Response: Texas Department of Public Safety officers ride in a pickup to a command post while other officers look for the gunman accused of shooting Crawford outside the station on Wednesday. Hunt: Officers swarmed the scene and the station and local schools were put on lockdown this morning. Speaking on Wednesday afternoon, Trooper Wilson said Crawford had not recognized his attacker. Authorities have still not said if the shooting was random. Station officials had no comment early Wednesday afternoon but may release one later in the day. Crawford, who grew up in Plano, Texas and earned his meteorology degree from Northern Illinois University, moved from New Orleans and joined the station in September 2012. He is married to fellow meteorologist and KCEN producer Heather Brinkmann. This morning, he showed off his winning Christmas sweater for the station's 'Ugly Sweater Contest' and shared images online of him raising a trophy just hours before he was shot. The town is about 75 miles north of Austin. Recovering: Crawford, who has been with the station for two years, managed to drive away and when his car crashed, construction workers ran to his aid. He was taken to hospital and underwent surgery. Crawford married fellow meteorologist and KCEN producer Heather Brinkmann, pictured, last year. Rural: The gunman attacked as Crawford was climbing into his car outside the KCEN studios in Texas.

Patrick Crawford was shot as he climbed into his car outside KCEN's studio in Bruceville-Eddy, Texas on Wednesday morning. He managed to drive off and crashed 200 feet from the station; construction workers came to his aid and called 911. He has undergone surgery and is recovering, friends told KCEN. The gunman is still at large; authorities earlier said they had taken a person of interest into custody but have now said he is not connected to the case.

How can you describe your location? You might use a familiar system. You might say, 'I live at 1234 Main Street, Springfield, Ohio.' You could also say, 'I live right behind the Elementary School.' This method uses the school as a point of reference. Another example is, I am at the corner of Maple Street and Main Street. Both streets may be a good reference for anyone living in your town. Scientists must be able to pinpoint a feature they are studying. Scientists use a special system to describe locations. They use latitude and longitude as a reference. Lines of latitude and longitude form a grid. You may have used a grid system while doing graphing. This grid is centered on a reference point. Zero latitude is the equator. Lines of latitude run east to west. They divide the Earth from North to South. Lines of longitude run from north to south. They divide the Earth from East to West. Zero longitude runs through Greenwich, England. You may have heard the term, Greenwich Mean Time, or GMT. The system of latitude and longitude works well for objects that do not move.

How might one describe the sentiment of this review?
Sui Wok...I'm an Asian food fanatic, and by no means is it a gourmet experience, but it's never let me down for what it is. An inexpensive alternative to pizza and other delivered foods. Huge portions, actual real meat and seafood, done without the normal hiding in breading and goop. Always fresh and tasty, delivered to a wide area. Great soups, which are a meal in themselves. When friends are in town, and time is short, Sui Wok is my go-to place. Sure, it's Americanized Chinese fare, but it's a hell of a lot of fun. They're good at what they do, they accommodate vegetarians, and there's more than enough food to share. Halfway through a combo plate, I'm stuffed. Imagine ordering a shrimp dish, and seeing very large, fresh shrimp instead of the tiny or overly breaded things you often get from Chinese restaurants. Same with the chicken, beef and pork. The tofu/bean curd is cooked as I like it. I'm glad Sui Wok is here in Phoenix. Nice stuff!...OPTIONS:

Write an article with the title: "Kiev says cannot withdraw heavy weapons as attacks persist"
Article:
|
Ukraine's military said on Monday it could not start withdrawing heavy weapons from the front line in the east as required under a tenuous ceasefire because pro-Russian separatists who advanced last week were still attacking its positions.
A truce to end fighting that has killed more than 5,600 people appeared stillborn last week after rebels ignored it to capture the strategic town of Debaltseve in a punishing defeat for Kiev.
Nevertheless, the peace deal's European sponsors still hold out hope it can be salvaged, now that the Moscow-backed separatists have achieved that objective.
Read MoreThe European ties Russia is binding closer
Kiev says it fears the rebels, backed by reinforcements of Russian troops, are planning to advance deeper into territory the Kremlin calls "New Russia". Moscow denies aiding the rebels.
Fighting has diminished since Kiev's forces abandoned Debaltseve in defeat last Wednesday, and there were hopeful signs for the truce over the weekend, with an overnight exchange of around 200 prisoners late on Saturday and an agreement on Sunday to begin pulling back artillery from the front.
But Kiev said on Monday that it still could not start the artillery withdrawal.
"Given that the positions of Ukrainian servicemen continue to be shelled, there can not yet be any talk of pulling back weapons," spokesman Vladislav Seleznyov said in a televised briefing.
Read MoreUkraine, pro-Russia rebels swap dozens of prisoners
Anatoly Stelmakh, another military spokesman, said rebel forces had attacked the village of Shyrokyne overnight, along the coast on the road to Mariupol, a port of half a million that Kiev fears could be the next big rebel target.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about:
Contour lines represent paths or segments of the Earth. Topographic maps are covered in contour lines. Some contour lines are thicker, known as indexed contour lines. They have a number next to them that shows you the elevation of that path or segment. For example, you may notice there is the number “6500” next to the thicker contour line. This means that everything along that line is 6,500 feet (2,000 m) above sea level. There are also thin contour lines on the map. These are called intermediate contour lines and are not given an elevation. The closer the spaces are between the contour lines, the more rapid the change in elevation. An area with contour lines that are spaced far apart have a fairly low elevation and be easy to hike or walk through. An area with a concentration of contour lines that are very close together have rapid changes in elevation. It has high and low terrain that may be more challenging to walk or hike through. Vertical cliffs are notated by a series of contour lines that are drawn very close together. In some cases, cliffs that are very vertical and high may have contour lines that form a single line. The way the contour lines curve can tell you if the path is going to be gentle or steep. A thick contour line that has rounded curves means the path is going to have a gentle slope that is easy to climb. A thick contour line with jagged curves that appear sharp means the path is going to have steep slopes that are harder to climb. Use the shape of the contour lines, as well as the space between the contour lines, to help you determine if the path is going to be easy or difficult to hike or climb on foot. You may notice dashed lines on the map, which are called supplementary contour lines. This indicates the elevation is half of the elevation between the contour lines around it. This indicates the terrain is flat for a long expanse, or there is very little change in elevation in these areas. Contour lines that form a series of circles on the map, where the circles get smaller and smaller, indicate a raised land mass. If the contour lines are not thick and they form a circle, this means there is a hill. If the contour lines are thicker and form a circle, this means there is a summit or peak. There is usually an elevation number next to the land mass so you know how high above sea level it is. For example, if you see circular contour lines and the number “5400,” this means the land mass is 5,400 feet (2,000 m) above sea level. Blue contour lines means there is a glacier in the area or the mountains are snow-capped and very cold. The contour lines are blue whenever you are at higher elevations on the map. Being aware of the blue contour lines helps you plan a route where you do not have to deal with ice or high elevations. Opt to go around these areas or use a different route instead.
Summary:
|
Use the thicker contour lines to determine the elevation. Determine the elevation change by looking at the space between the contour lines. Notice how the contour lines slope on the map. Look for flat terrain with a dashed contour line. Check for contour lines that form a circle. Find glaciers and cold areas by looking for blue contour lines.

Here are some reviews for a movie: 1. Spacey is a delight to behold in this kind of slyly aggressive role.
2. Despite my reservations about Spacey's performance, the film is generally very well acted.
3. If we've all got something to sell, what parts do character and integrity play in our occupational goals? ** Interviews **
4. Spacey comes across as a live wire charged by alternating currents of cynicism and desperation, turning from sardonic wit to savage fury in the space of an anxious heartbeat.
5. Yet as much as we may resist, The Big Kahuna closes the sale.
6. Seems trapped between theatre and cinema, with nobody around to chew its leg off.
7. What you will find are standout performances from each actor and subject matter that will evoke debate long after the movie has ended.
8. Sometimes good, or even almost-great acting, isn't enough.
9. The destination is well worth the sometimes baffling and tedious journey.
10. Kahuna falters in its attempts at profundity or dynamic social commentary.
What was the overall consensus about the movie?
|
Wonderful adaptation of the stage play.

Claim: Hate crime enhancements cause inter-community tensions
What evidence supports this claim?
|
1. Therefore hate crime enhancements are unjust .
2. The only white people who commit crimes against black people , goes the public belief , are racially prejudiced white extremists , and in contrast the very idea of hate crimes committed against whites is met with scepticism and disbelief .
3. An analysis of hate crime date from the USA examining how hate crimes against whites are viewed with respect to hate crimes against blacks has hypothesised that the prevailing view in the minds of the public is that the crime that whites are most likely to commit against blacks is a hate crime , and that it is hard for most Americans to envision a white person committing a crime against a black person for a different reason .
4. -LRB- 3 -RRB- This can lead to an unjust situation where hate crime enhancements are -LRB- or are perceived as being -RRB- only applied against one community by another , despite hate crimes actually being committed by individuals within both communities against other individuals .
5. -LRB- 2 -RRB- There have been several high-profile cases in the USA where some individuals have argued actual hate crimes against whites were not treated as such as a consequence of such public disbelief .
6. -LRB- 1 -RRB- These effects spread beyond the hate crimes themselves .
7. By defining crimes as being committed by one group against another , rather than as being committed by individuals against their society , the labelling of crimes as hate crimes causes groups to feel persecuted by one another , and that this impression of persecution can incite a backlash and thus lead to an actual increase in crime .
8. This is especially true when one community seems to perpetrate more hate crime -LRB- or at least more convictions thereof are secured -RRB- against another community than visa-versa .
9. By prosecuting high-profile cases of white hate crimes against blacks , for example , it encourages blacks to see themselves as part of a distinct community different from the white community and whose relations are marked by crimes committed by one against the other .

François, Madeleine's father, died on 16 February 1700, and his pension of 1000 livres was transferred to Madeleine due to her leadership in 1692, on the condition that she provide for her mother. Madeleine managed Verchères until her marriage in September 1706 to Pierre-Thomas Tarieu de La Pérade, who was a lieutenant in the regular troops of New France. He was the son of Thomas de Lanouguère, an administrator of the colony who descended from an old noble family in France. The couple moved to Sainte-Anne-de-la-Pérade, Quebec, where Tarieu was co-seigneur. Madeleine's seigneury at Verchères was transferred to her new husband. The complex land titles led to numerous lawsuits over the course of her life, and Madeleine sailed to France at least three times to represent herself and her husband in court. Marie-Madeleine died at Sainte-Anne-de-la-Pérade on 8 August 1747 at age 69. She was buried beneath her pew at Sainte-Anne-de-la-Pérade. Pierre-Thomas died 26 January 1757 at age 79.
How many years after Madeleine's leadership in 1692, did she get married to Pierre-Thomas Tarieu de La Pérade?

Read the text and answer the questions.
The United States has a racially and ethnically diverse population. The United States Census officially recognizes six racial categories: White American, Black or African American, Native American and Alaska Native, Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander, and people of two or more races; a category called "some other race" is also used in the census and other surveys, but is not official. The United States Census Bureau also classifies Americans as "Hispanic or Latino" and "Not Hispanic or Latino", which identifies Hispanic and Latino Americans as an "ethnicity" (not a "race") distinct from others that composes the largest minority group in the nation.
The United States Supreme Court unanimously held that "race" is not limited to Census designations on the "race question" but extends to all ethnicities, and thus can include Jewish and Arab as well as Polish or Italian or Irish, etc. In fact, the Census asks an "Ancestry Question" which covers the broader notion of ethnicity initially in the 2000 Census long form and now in the American Community Survey.
, white Americans are the racial majority. African Americans are the largest racial minority, amounting to 13.3% of the population. Hispanic and Latino Americans amount to 17.8% of the total U.S. population, making up the largest ethnic minority.

While there is no cure for ADHD, currently available treatments can help reduce symptoms and improve functioning. Treatments include medication, psychotherapy, education or training, or a combination of treatments.
Medication
For many people, ADHD medications reduce hyperactivity and impulsivity and improve their ability to focus, work, and learn. Medication also may improve physical coordination. Sometimes several different medications or dosages must be tried before finding the right one that works for a particular person. Anyone taking medications must be monitored closely and carefully by their prescribing doctor.
The most common type of medication used for treating ADHD is called a “stimulant.” Although it may seem unusual to treat ADHD with a medication that is considered a stimulant, it works because it increases the brain chemicals dopamine and norepinephrine, which play essential roles in thinking and attention.
Under medical supervision, stimulant medications are considered safe. However, there are risks and side effects, especially when misused or taken in excess of the prescribed dose.For example, stimulants can raise blood pressure and heart rate and increase anxiety. Therefore, a person with other health problems, including high blood pressure, seizures, heart disease, glaucoma, liver or kidney disease, or an anxiety disorder should tell their doctor before taking a stimulant.
Talk with a doctor if you see any of these side effects while taking stimulants:
decreased appetite
sleep problems
tics (sudden, repetitive movements or sounds);
personality changes
increased anxiety and irritability
stomachaches
headaches
Non-stimulants. A few other ADHD medications are non-stimulants. These medications take longer to start working than stimulants, but can also improve focus, attention, and impulsivity in a person with ADHD. Doctors may prescribe a non-stimulant: when a person has bothersome side effects from stimulants; when a stimulant was not effective; or in combination with a stimulant to increase effectiveness.
Although not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) specifically for the treatment of ADHD, some antidepressants are sometimes used alone or in combination with a stimulant to treat ADHD. Antidepressants may help all of the symptoms of ADHD and can be prescribed if a patient has bothersome side effects from stimulants. Antidepressants can be helpful in combination with stimulants if a patient also has another condition, such as an anxiety disorder, depression, or another mood disorder.
Doctors and patients can work together to find the best medication, dose, or medication combination. Learn the basics about stimulants and other mental health medications on the NIMH Mental Health Medications webpage and check the FDAwebsite (http://www.fda.gov/), for the latest information on warnings, patient medication guides, or newly approved medications.
Psychotherapy
Adding psychotherapy to treat ADHD can help patients and their families to better cope with everyday problems.
Behavioral therapy is a type of psychotherapy that aims to help a person change his or her behavior. It might involve practical assistance, such as help organizing tasks or completing schoolwork, or working through emotionally difficult events. Behavioral therapy also teaches a person how to:
monitor his or her own behavior
give oneself praise or rewards for acting in a desired way, such as controlling anger or thinking before acting
Parents, teachers, and family members also can give positive or negative feedback for certain behaviors and help establish clear rules, chore lists, and other structured routines to help a person control his or her behavior. Therapists may also teach children social skills, such as how to wait their turn, share toys, ask for help, or respond to teasing. Learning to read facial expressions and the tone of voice in others, and how to respond appropriately can also be part of social skills training.
Cognitive behavioral therapy can also teach a person mindfulness techniques, or meditation. A person learns how to be aware and accepting of one’s own thoughts and feelings to improve focus and concentration. The therapist also encourages the person with ADHD to adjust to the life changes that come with treatment, such as thinking before acting, or resisting the urge to take unnecessary risks.
Family and marital therapy can help family members and spouses find better ways to handle disruptive behaviors, to encourage behavior changes, and improve interactions with the patient.
For more information on psychotherapy, see the Psychotherapies webpage on the NIMH website.
Education and Training
Children and adults with ADHD need guidance and understanding from their parents, families, and teachers to reach their full potential and to succeed. For school-age children, frustration, blame, and anger may have built up within a family before a child is diagnosed. Parents and children may need special help to overcome negative feelings. Mental health professionals can educate parents about ADHD and how it affects a family. They also will help the child and his or her parents develop new skills, attitudes, and ways of relating to each other.
Parenting skills training (behavioral parent management training) teaches parents the skills they need to encourage and reward positive behaviors in their children. It helps parents learn how to use a system of rewards and consequences to change a child’s behavior. Parents are taught to give immediate and positive feedback for behaviors they want to encourage, and ignore or redirect behaviors that they want to discourage. They may also learn to structure situations in ways that support desired behavior.
Stress management techniques can benefit parents of children with ADHD by increasing their ability to deal with frustration so that they can respond calmly to their child’s behavior.
Support groups can help parents and families connect with others who have similar problems and concerns. Groups often meet regularly to share frustrations and successes, to exchange information about recommended specialists and strategies, and to talk with experts.
Tips to Help Kids and Adults with ADHD Stay Organized
For Kids:
Parents and teachers can help kids with ADHD stay organized and follow directions with tools such as:
Keeping a routine and a schedule. Keep the same routine every day, from wake-up time to bedtime. Include times for homework, outdoor play, and indoor activities. Keep the schedule on the refrigerator or on a bulletin board in the kitchen. Write changes on the schedule as far in advance as possible.
Organizing everyday items. Have a place for everything, and keep everything in its place. This includes clothing, backpacks, and toys.
Using homework and notebook organizers. Use organizers for school material and supplies. Stress to your child the importance of writing down assignments and bringing home the necessary books.
Being clear and consistent. Children with ADHD need consistent rules they can understand and follow.
Giving praise or rewards when rules are followed. Children with ADHD often receive and expect criticism. Look for good behavior, and praise it.
For Adults:
A professional counselor or therapist can help an adult with ADHD learn how to organize his or her life with tools such as: ||||| Patrick O’Connor (left) is working on research that shows that a single bout of exercise consistently increases feelings of energy.
Athens, Ga. - Exercise, even a small amount, can help alleviate symptoms of ADHD in adults, according to a new study by University of Georgia researchers.
The study, released this month in the journal Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise, found a single bout of exercise has psychological benefits for adults with these elevated ADHD symptoms. About 6 percent of American adults report symptoms consistent with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD, which lead to anxiety, depression, low energy and motivation, poor performance at work or school and also increased traffic accidents.
"Exercise is already known as a stress reducer and mood booster, so it really has the potential to help those suffering with ADHD symptoms," said the study's senior author Patrick O'Connor, professor in the UGA College of Education's kinesiology department. "And while prescription drugs can be used to treat these symptoms, there's an increased risk of abuse or dependence and negative side effects. Those risks don't exist with exercise."
The study tested 32 young men with elevated ADHD symptoms who cycled at a moderate intensity for 20 minutes on one day, and on another day sat and rested for 20 minutes as a control condition. The participants were asked to perform a task requiring focus both before and after the different conditions, and researchers noted leg movement, mood, attention and self-reported motivation to perform the task.
As a result, researchers found that it was only after the exercise when the participants felt motivated to do the task; they also felt less confused and fatigued and instead felt more energetic. Interestingly, leg movements and performance on the task did not change after the exercise-rather, the exercise helped the young men feel better about doing the task.
These findings are consistent with prior research that shows a single bout of exercise helps people feel more energetic, said O'Connor, who is also co-director of the UGA Exercise Psychology Laboratory. The results suggest that young men who have symptoms of ADHD can benefit psychologically from the short workouts, similar to the benefits enjoyed by typical adults who work out.
"The reduced feelings of confusion and increased motivation to perform a cognitive task suggest that other types of acute exercise also may benefit cognitive performance," added study co-author Kathryn Fritz, a UGA doctoral student who completed the study as part of her master's thesis. "We speculate that a different mode or duration or intensity of exercise, other than a boring cycle ride in a sterile lab, may show larger cognitive effects for those suffering from ADHD symptoms."
The study, "Acute Exercise Improves Mood and Motivation in Young Men with ADHD Symptoms," is available online at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26741120.

Writers, entrepreneurs, and creative leaders of all types know that intense focus that happens when you’re “in the zone”: You’re feeling empowered, productive, and engaged. Psychologists might call this flow, the experience of zeroing in so closely on some activity that you lose yourself in it. And this immersive state, as it turns out, also happens to be something that some adults with ADHD commonly experience.
It sounds like a contradiction in terms: You think ADHD and you think of a spaced-out, scattered kid, right? But by definition, ADHD is a “maldistribution” of attention — that is, people who have it often oscillate between splintered and hyperfocused attention. The latter is what Brandon Ashinoff, a psychologist at the University of Birmingham who studies hyperfocus, has called an “interesting paradox” — it’s too much focus, as opposed to a scattered attention span. “You’re focused so intently on something, no other information gets into your brain,” Ashinoff has said.
In other words, ADHD shows up in different ways depending on the person; the goal is to help people regulate their attention and harness the kind of attention necessary for the task at hand. (And recent research from Brazil and King’s College London, by the way, has suggested that despite its reputation as a childhood problem, it’s more common than you might think for the condition to show up for the first time in adulthood, even among people who never showed signs of it in childhood.) Generally speaking, ADHD is classified into two broad categories: inattentive type, and hyperactive/impulsive type. Hyperfocus is seen among both of these types — and yet it’s been largely neglected in academic research.
That’s surprising, especially considering the significant impact — both positive and negative — hyperfocus can have at work and at home. Hyperfocus is great for engaging in longer tasks which require intense concentration — but it’s not so great if that means that the more mundane tasks, chores, and assignments fall by the wayside. When composing a song or coding a new program, the tendency to lose sight of all else proves beneficial; when failing to get laundry or dishes done for days on end, the tendency becomes a potential problem.
One of the few pieces of research on the hyperfocus piece of ADHD is from South Africa, and was the subject of a University of Johannesburg master’s thesis by researcher and writer Rony Sklar — indeed, much of her work has raised the question of why hyperfocus isn’t being looked at in the literature, since her own work was limited by sample size. “The field is wide open and people really need to start researching it,” Sklar told Science of Us. “It’s not about having an attention deficit, it’s more a maldistribution of attention. It’s not about not being able to concentrate; it’s about being able to concentrate in different forms and different intensity.” Put another way, there is a spectrum along which attention gets channeled for human beings; those diagnosed with ADHD don’t have less attention than normal — it’s more accurate to say that their attention can be splintered or hyperfocused, or it can swing between the two. Their challenge is to learn ways to distribute their attention more evenly, by regulating it or even manipulating it to serve their purposes according to the task at hand, often through the use of practical tools like timers, calendars, reminders, alarms, and breaking tasks into concrete steps.
In Sklar’s limited research, she’s found that people with ADHD tend to use less mental effort to play a computer game than people without ADHD, “which could mean that they entered the flow state more readily than the non-ADHD group,” says Sklar. Additionally, the ADHD group had higher activation in the parietal lobe, which is notable because most studies have found that ADHD individuals have lower parietal lobe activation. This makes sense if you think about it — under normal day-to-day circumstances where shifting attention is required, the ADHD individual may struggle; the usual lower activation in the parietal lobe of those with ADHD is thought to be linked to impaired attention. But in Sklar’s sample, where people were intensely focused — or in a state of “hyperfocus” — those with ADHD had higher parietal lobe activation than the non-ADHD group, which “could support the idea of people with ADHD being able to sustain attention depending on the specific context,” says Sklar. So this could suggest something rather exciting: that ADHD individuals have, at least in some contexts, a leg up over non-ADHD folks, in that ADHD in fact helps people sustain attention for longer periods than normal in some situations. Under the right conditions, hyperfocus is ADHD’s secret superpower.
For a child or adult with ADHD, the determining variable is interest — if the person loves to play music, they can do it for hours. If they hate doing dishes, they will clean one dish, lose focus, and jump to another activity. One metaphor that captivated Sklar’s attention paints an interesting picture — first put forth by author Thom Hartmann, the theory suggests that those with ADHD have more of a “hunter” orientation, evolutionarily speaking, and those without ADHD are the “farmers.” One group is more nomadic and needs to constantly scan the environment, with attention darting here and there for prey; the other group possesses the patience, calm, and nurturing ability to tend to repeated farming tasks with long-term consistency. The hunter mindset in some ways explains hyperfocus — once the prey is identified, the hunter intensely focuses on her pursuit.
But Arthur Caye, the lead researcher in Brazil’s recent study, asserts that hyperfocus may be a result of overcompensating: that is, people who have ADHD may tend to zero in on one particular pursuit as a way to make up for the distractedness in other areas. So it may not be that hyperfocus is a clinical symptom of ADHD — and, indeed, hyperfocus is not listed in the DSM-5 — but it could be a response to having the condition, according to Caye, and it can be channeled into productive or unproductive pursuits. Hyperfocus is not a common topic of conversation among researchers, including Caye and his counterparts at King’s College London, but it is among those with ADHD and their therapists and coaches.
This narrative sounds familiar to Maria Yagoda, a writer and Yale graduate who has ADHD. “I will definitely get sucked into something and have to devote all my time and energy into that,” Yagoda told Science of Us. She has written previously for The Atlantic about how the condition affects her and how people are often surprised that someone like her — a successful Ivy League graduate — could have ADHD. “Sometimes on days that are the craziest — different news stories breaking, too many meetings, family drama — I’m able to focus more intensely than I could on a normal day. I feel like I kick into this special productivity gear.”
Yagoda is an adult female with ADHD — an overlooked demographic in treatment and research circles — and yet the positive and negative symptoms of ADHD for her resemble what many other individuals with ADHD experience, regardless of age or gender.
Specifically with regard to hyperfocus, says Yagoda, “It’s like when I worked at a sandwich shop — during the lunch rush, I was a total beast. Slicing meats, throwing baguettes around, squeezing mayonnaise — I just got into a zone. Instead of being overwhelmed — which is really easy for me to be — all the pressure and stimulation helped me focus. I was great at it,” says Yagoda.
Borrowing Hartmann’s evolutionary metaphor, one could say that a chaotic newsroom is Yagoda’s “hunting” ground — she has to field fast-paced input when adrenaline-inducing news events happen around her, mentally scan her environment, and prioritize her stories of prey according to a hierarchy that is not based on size of the “kill” but the urgency of the story.
Sklar echoes this description — she says that many people with ADHD actually thrive in a more urgent environment where hyperfocus gives the person an advantage in terms of homing in on what’s important. This sentiment has also been expressed by high-profile people with ADHD, such as soccer star Tim Howard or musician Adam Levine of Maroon 5, who both say the energy of ADHD helps them perform at their job.
There are downsides to a tendency to hyperfocus on things, too, of course. Some people get lost in video games or TV shows and have trouble switching their attention to more pressing tasks. But for Yagoda, in particular, that has not been the case, and hyperfocus does not stand out as an impediment. “It’s a new thing for me to think about it as a strength,” she admits. “That’s a revelation.”
So far, the anecdotal evidence from stories like these is clear — the supporting data, alas, is not, namely because there is not yet enough of it. Sklar, for one, is hoping that changes. She receives regular contact from those in the ADHD community, particularly from coaches and therapists, who say that her conclusions are spot-on as evidenced by working with individuals who experience hyperfocus. And Sklar says that she is confident that research is heading in the right direction and that more people are taking note. “This is where the research is going and where it needs to go,” she says. “Hyperfocus can be very powerful. My hope is that people can become the best versions of themselves using the tendency.” ||||| PURPOSE:

A repeated-measures crossover experiment was conducted with 32 adult men (18-33 yr) with symptoms consistent with adult ADHD assessed by the Adult Self-Report Scale V1.1. Measures of attention (continuous performance task and Bakan vigilance task), motivation to perform the mental work (visual analog scale), lower leg physical activity (accelerometry), and mood (Profile of Mood States and Addiction Research Center Inventory amphetamine scale) were measured before and twice after a 20-min seated rest control or exercise condition involving cycling at 65% V˙O2peak. Condition (exercise vs rest) × time (baseline, post 1, and post 2) ANOVA was used to test the hypothesized exercise-induced improvements in all outcomes.
RESULTS:
Statistically significant condition-time interactions were observed for vigor (P < 0.001), amphetamine (P < 0.001), motivation (P = 0.027), and Profile of Mood States depression (P = 0.027), fatigue (P = 0.030), and confusion (P = 0.046) scales. No significant interaction effects were observed for leg hyperactivity, simple reaction time, or vigilance task performance (accuracy, errors, or reaction time).
CONCLUSION:
In young men reporting elevated symptoms of ADHD, a 20-min bout of moderate-intensity cycle exercise transiently enhances motivation for cognitive tasks, increases feelings of energy, and reduces feelings of confusion, fatigue, and depression, but this has no effect on the behavioral measures of attention or hyperactivity used. |||||

– There's a largely unexamined component of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD, a disorder most commonly characterized as a pattern of either inattention or hyperactivity/impulsivity, reports the National Institute of Mental Health. But those with ADHD often also experience "hyperfocus," and there is now a growing call for more research into this piece of the disorder, which can be seen in both the inattentive and the hyperactive types. As psychologist Brandon Ashinoff has said, the disorder presents an "interesting paradox" in that people can have an overload of focus instead of a splintered attention span, reports New York magazine. "The field is wide open and people really need to start researching [hyperfocus]," one researcher says. "It’s not about having an attention deficit, it’s more a maldistribution of attention.... Hyperfocus can be very powerful." Some suggest that people with hyperfocus actually have an advantage over non-ADHD folks in that they are able to sustain extreme attention on a task for longer periods than normal. This can be detrimental, of course—focusing on a work project at the expense of one's laundry, or sleep, or attention to family—but notable adults with ADHD such as goalkeeper Tim Howard and musician Adam Levine say they excel at their jobs thanks to the energy bursts they get from ADHD. And while the academic data needs to catch up to the anecdotes, one new study published in the journal Medicine and Science in Sports Exercise suggests that short bouts of exercise can improve motivation and energy in adult males with symptoms of ADHD. The University of Georgia researchers point out that while prescription drugs can also help, exercise comes without the risk of abuse or negative side effects. (ADHD and workaholism appear to be linked.)

Still looking for a win the Bills flew to M&T Bank Stadium for an AFC duel against the Ravens. In the 1st quarter the Bills trailed early as kicker Billy Cundiff made a 41-yard field goal. But they pulled ahead with QB Ryan Fitzpatrick completing a 33-yard TD pass to WR Lee Evans, followed by kicker Rian Lindell hitting a 21-yard field goal. The lead was increased in the second quarter with Fitzpatrick finding WR Steve Johnson on a 33-yard TD pass. The Ravens replied with QB Joe Flacco making a 26-yard TD pass to TE Todd Heap. Then Fitzpatrick found Evans again on a 20-yard TD pass to put the Bills up 24-10. The lead was narrowed when Cundiff hit a 48-yard field goal, followed by Flacco throwing a 14-yard TD pass to Heap. In the third quarter the Bills fell behind with Flacco completing a 34-yard TD pass to WR Anquan Boldin, followed by RB Willis McGahee getting a 2-yard TD run. The Bills managed to tie the game in the 4th quarter with Fitzpatrick making a 17-yard TD pass to Evans, and with Lindell getting a 50-yard field goal. After overtime, the decision was made when Cundiff successfully put away a 38-yard field goal to keep the Bills winless after 6 games. With the loss, the Bills fell to 0-6. After a win by the Carolina Panthers the same week, the Bills became the only team still in contention for an imperfect season.

The director, outfitted in chains and leather, warned the audience at the SF Frameline Film Festival Friday night that we were about to see an "experiental" film. Experimental? Leave the video camera on the back seat of the car, let the tape roll and edit in all the pointless dreck within eyesight. A meandering pastiche road show manqué that starts nowhere and takes the audience no place. The gratuitous violence that opens the movie drove more than one patron from the Castro theater. I would have left, too, but my cine-buddy needed a ride home and has this thing about seeing even the worse merde through to the end. By the time the lights came up the audience had thinned considerably. Tepid applause. Pro forma questions of the director who seemed pleased with the product. Avoid this film!

Hash House A Go Go has definitely developed quite the reputation for absolutely reBIGulous portions. Had to experience this place for myself and boy, I was not dissapointed. Although, this is where the praise ends... (1) First tried to order their salmon dish for lunch... come to find out that they didn't have any salmon in? Ummm.... so why's it on the menu exactly? Dissapointment #1. (2) Quantity here does not equal quality. Ordered the Bacon Bacon Bacon Lettuce and Tomato. The sandwich was definitely big, but also very dry. No mayonnaise whatsoever and they stack so much lettuce into sandwich that it dominates the bacon. Additionally, the toast was way to big and I felt like I was eating Toast and Lettuce. Not good at all. and for $11.95???? Definitely not worth it. (3) To top it all off, the wait staff took 10 minutes between giving us water and taking our order. I saw 3 different tables get their orders in before our waitress even came back to us... that just made the wait that much longer. (4) Manager that day had no idea what he was serving. Sure it's nice enough that you come out and deliver the food to the table. The order didn't look right and he was absolutely unsure of what he had in his hands when we questioned what it was... yeesh, study your menu yeah? The only saving grace for this place was the Kiwi Watermelon drink.... would definitely come back here simply for that drink and one the most fresh tasting and refreshing drinks I've had in a long time. 1 star for the food. 1 star for the staff. 5 stars for the drink. = 2 stars overall. See the big portions once for yourself, then do yourself a favor and go elsewhere to find better tasting food.

Read this article and answer this question Hoping to rebound from their home loss to the Saints, the Bills flew to Land Shark Stadium for a Week 4 AFC East duel with the Miami Dolphins. After a scoreless first quarter, Buffalo would find themselves trailing in the second as Dolphins kicker Dan Carpenter got a 33-yard field goal, followed by cornerback Vontae Davis returning an interception 23 yards for a touchdown. The Bills would get on the board with a 35-yard field goal from kicker Rian Lindell, but Miami would answer with running back Ronnie Brown's 1-yard touchdown run. The Dolphins' domination continued into the third quarter with quarterback Chad Henne completing a 5-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Brian Hartline, followed by a 1-yard touchdown run by running back Ricky Williams. Buffalo tried to salvage the game in the fourth quarter with quarterback Trent Edwards completing a 3-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Josh Reed, but Miami would close out the game with Brown's 4-yard touchdown pass.

Team GB is the brand name used since 1999 by the British Olympic Association (BOA) for their Great Britain and Northern Ireland Olympic team. The brand was developed after the 1996 Summer Olympics, and is now a trademark of the BOA. It is meant to unify the team as one body, irrespective of each member athlete's particular sport. It forms part of a marketing strategy, where its brevity is seen as beneficial. The brand is seen as controversial by some, for focusing on Great Britain, at the expense of Northern Ireland, with critics suggesting it be changed to Team UK, something the BOA has so far rejected.

Paragraph: In chapters 3 and 4 we described how the U.S. government adjusted its existing agencies and capacities to address the emerging threat from Usama Bin Laden and his associates. After the August 1998 bombings of the American embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, President Bill Clinton and his chief aides explored ways of getting Bin Laden expelled from Afghanistan or possibly capturing or even killing him. Although disruption efforts around the world had achieved some successes, the core of Bin Laden's organization remained intact. President Clinton was deeply concerned about Bin Laden. He and his national security advisor, Samuel "Sandy" Berger, ensured they had a special daily pipeline of reports feeding them the latest updates on Bin Laden's reported location. In public, President Clinton spoke repeatedly about the threat of terrorism, referring to terrorist training camps but saying little about Bin Laden and nothing about al Qaeda. He explained to us that this was deliberate-intended to avoid enhancing Bin Laden's stature by giving him unnecessary publicity. His speeches focused especially on the danger of nonstate actors and of chemical and biological weapons. As the millennium approached, the most publicized worries were not about terrorism but about computer breakdowns-the Y2K scare. Some government officials were concerned that terrorists would take advantage of such breakdowns. On November 30, 1999, Jordanian intelligence intercepted a telephone call between Abu Zubaydah, a longtime ally of Bin Laden, and Khadr Abu Hoshar, a Palestinian extremist. Abu Zubaydah said, "The time for training is over." Suspecting that this was a signal for Abu Hoshar to commence a terrorist operation, Jordanian police arrested Abu Hoshar and 15 others and informed Washington. One of the 16, Raed Hijazi, had been born in California to Palestinian parents; after spending his childhood in the Middle East, he had returned to northern California, taken refuge in extremist Islamist beliefs, and then made his way to Abu Zubaydah's Khaldan camp in Afghanistan, where he learned the fundamentals of guerrilla warfare. He and his younger brother had been recruited by Abu Hoshar into a loosely knit plot to attack Jewish and American targets in Jordan. After late 1996, when Abu Hoshar was arrested and jailed, Hijazi moved back to the United States, worked as a cabdriver in Boston, and sent money back to his fellow plotters. After Abu Hoshar's release, Hijazi shuttled between Boston and Jordan gathering money and supplies. With Abu Hoshar, he recruited inTurkey and Syria as well as Jordan; with Abu Zubaydah's assistance, Abu Hoshar sent these recruits to Afghanistan for training.
Question: "On what date did Abu Zubaydah say, "The time for training is over."?"
Answer: "After late 1996 Abu Zubaydah said, "The time for training is over.""
