Funding of the Attack Ads on Mary Burke

If you are watching TV at all currently it is hard to miss the attack ad on Mary Burke. These ads are being sponsored by the RGA (Republican Governors Associations) and cost in the 6 figures area according the Associated Press.

The attacks include Burke outsourcing jobs to China. The company she led was Trek Bicycle Corp, which employs about 1,000 worker here in Wisconsin. It also pumps in over $100 million into the state economy yearly. The also said she drove jobs away whereas the data shows that when she was the Secretary of Commerce, 84,000 more jobs were created than under Walker.

The RGA has raised $50.3 million in comparison to it Democratic counterpart which has raised 28 million. So where does that money come from? Surprise the Koch hedge fund kicked in a million, the Reynolds Tobacco Company, and Health insurer Wellpoint along with Koch industries all chipped in a half million each. Now I’m none too thrilled about Democrats getting this money either, just more outside interests messing about in politics and raising money without limits.

Related to this are things that the CBO (Congressional Budget Office; nonpartisan) reports that some seem to Republicans ignore.

First minimum wage, which the Republicans say will cost jobs, they say 500,000 or a million jobs. The CBO says, “Real income would increase, on net, by $5 billion for families whose income will be below the poverty threshold under current law, boosting their average family income by about 3 percent and moving about 900,000 people, on net, above the poverty threshold (out of the roughly 45 million people who are projected to be below that threshold under current law).

Next is the immigration reform palaver. The bill that passed the Senate would reduce the deficit by $158 billion from 2014 to 223 and in the next decade another $685 billion.

Though under G.W. Bush Republican extended emergency unemployment benefits they don’t want to do it now. This would cost us another 200,000 jobs according to the CBO.

The Democrats worked the Affordable Care Act over to be fully funded and to shrink the deficit. Yet Republicans keep saying it will make the deficit worse. This is what the CBO finds: What Is the Impact of Repealing the ACA on the Federal Budget?
Assuming that H.R. 6079 is enacted near the beginning of fiscal year 2013, CBO and JCT estimate that, on balance, the direct spending and revenue effects of enacting that legislation would cause a net increase in federal budget deficits of $109 billion over the 2013–2022 period.

It will also cut the unemployment rate.

Finally Republicans insist that the stimulus program did not work even before it was enacted. The vast majority of economists believe it reduced unemployment: The CBO figures released Tuesday estimate that the stimulus package raised the gross domestic product this past quarter by 0.3 percent-1.9 percent.

The CBO report provided a broad range of the estimated number of full-time jobs created because of the stimulus — from a low of 500,000 to a high of 3.3 million jobs.

Further Proposed Hydroelectric Power on River Thames

The Berkshire village of Streatley is about 8 miles (13 km) from Reading and 16 miles (26 km) from Oxford. It is located in the Goring Gap on the River Thames and is directly across the river from the village of Goring on Thames, in Oxfordshire. The two villages are connected by the Goring and Streatley Bridge with its adjacent lock and weir. The Goring Gap was cut through the chalk at the end of the last ice age by the large amounts of melt water entering the Thames. The newly formed route flows through Berkshire and London before finally egressing into the North Sea.

It is proposed to generate hydroelectric power from the River Thames at Goring and Streatley by the installation of 3 reverse Archimedes screws with a combined generating capacity of 246 kW. Some five million tonnes of water flows through the Goring Gap daily. There is nothing in the river as yet, since it has taken six years so far for the completion of all necessary feasibility studies, and to get various permissions from the Environment Agency. It was originally intended that the Swan Hotel would receive electricity from the installation but now the plan is to connect to a much closer sub-station on the Goring side of the river.

It is expected that the average annual power output will be 1000 Megawatt-hours, which is sufficient for the electricity needs of 350 homes. On the basis of four estimates for the construction phase and a firm price from Spaans-Babcock for the three 3.6 m diameter 4-flight screws, it appears that the project will cost at least £2 million.

The projected income is £165,000/annum for electricity sold onto the grid, according to an average annual rain-fall, mindful that this can vary by a factor of two between a "dry" year (1996) and a "wet" year (2007). It is intended that the commissioning and operation will take place from Autumn 2012 and beyond, and that the installation should generate clean renewable electricity for at least 50 years.

Another hydropower scheme of similar power-output is being mooted, this time at Abingdon, 5.5 miles south of Oxford.

As noted in a previous posting (http://ergobalance.blogspot.com/2011/11/100-kw-hydroelectric-turbine-at.html), there are two other hydropower installations already generating electricity on the Thames, one at Mapledurham and a smaller one at Sonning.

Free Swag on Ho Chi Minhs Birthday!

Yes, its Ho Chi Minhs birthday today - he would have been 106 today! Its also Joey Ramones birthday, Pete Townshends birthday, Malcolm Xs birthday, and Pol Pots birthday (boo!). Its also my birthday. Yippee! I turn 35 today, which means Im old. Okay, not old, but I feel old. It also means that I remember buying comics when you could give the clerk a single piece of green paper with George Washingtons picture on it and receive a comic book in exchange and get change. I know - sit down and catch your breath for a second! Phew, thats quite the head rush!

In celebration of my natal-versary, Im giving stuff away! I have in my possession a copy of The Nightmarist, which the fine folk at Active Images (I assume Richard Starkings had something to do with it) sent me not long ago. It is written and drawn by Duncan Rouleau, and is a fine graphic novel. I reviewed it in this post (trust me, its there), and Rouleau himself stopped by to say hello. Our Lord High Cronin dug it too, in case you dont trust my impeccable taste. Broken Frontier really liked it, too, if thats your thing. Anyway, Im giving it away, so it could be crap and youd want it! Free = Desirable! Its the American Way!

So Im having a contest. Now, unlike my last contest, this will not depend upon my opinion of your mad skillz. This will be cold hard scoring! Heres the game:

Below I have posted twenty-five (25) panels/pages from certain comic books. Some are wildly famous, and some are pretty darned obscure. I want you to identify them. Thats not so hard, is it? I would like you to tell me:

1. The name and issue number of the comic book in which the panel appears. Yes, I want the issue number!
2. The name of the writer.
3. The name of the penciller. Dont worry about the inker - theyre just tracers, after all!

Each answer is separate, therefore the total number of points is 75. Each correct answer will give you one point. The person with the most points wins. Simple, right? I want the issue number because if you happen to see a certain Caped Crusader, I dont want you to just say, "Its Batman!" I want you to say, "Thats Batman #612 with that totally awesome fight between Batman and Superman!" Flex those comic book geek muscles, geeks!

There is one exception. I dont need an issue number for #8. The reasons are my own!!!!

If you want a free copy of The Nightmarist, e-mail me with your answers. Its Friday, so lets set the deadline on Monday. By the end of the day on Monday, have your answers. That should give you enough time to hang out in your garage flipping through your long boxes! Have fun!

Number One.

Number Two.

Number Three.

Number Four.

Number Five.

Number Six.

Number Seven.

Number Eight.

Number Nine.

Number Ten.

Number Eleven.

Number Twelve.

Number Thirteen.

Number Fourteen.

Number Fifteen.

Number Sixteen.

Number Seventeen.

Number Eighteen.

Number Nineteen.

Number Twenty.

Number Twenty-One.

Number Twenty-Two.

Number Twenty-Three.

Number Twenty-Four.

Number Twenty-Five.
Number Six

Remember: issue number, writer, penciller. 75 points are there to be had! If you dont know the issue number but recognize the artist, thats one point! If you dont know the artist but think you know the writer, send it along! If you dont know the creative team but are sure you know the issue number, thats another point! You dont need to get every part of the answer correct! How cool is that?

So, again, e-mail me by close of business on Monday. Good luck!

Gender Age and Subtype Effects on ADHD Comorbid Disorders

We have spoken extensively on some of the related or comorbid disorders associated with ADHD ("Comorbid" here refers to an accompanying disorder that frequently occurs alongside ADHD. These may include disorders such as depression, Tourettes Syndrome, allergies, substance abuse problems and the like). The topic of this post is to investigate whether there is a pronounced gender effect on these comorbid disorders; in other words, whether boys and girls are more prone to a particular disorder comorbid to ADHD based on their gender. As we will see later, age and ADHD subtype effects are also important factors with regards to comorbid disorders.

Much of this info was taken from an article titled Gender Differences in ADHD Subtype Comorbidity by Levy and coworkers. Here is a summary of some of the main points in the study:

Approximately half to over three quarters of ADHD children carry some type of comorbid behavior disorder. These include oppositional defiant and conduct disorders, learning disabilities and communication disorders (including speech and reading difficulties). Additionally, many exhibit anxiety disorders such as generalized anxiety disorders or separation anxiety disorders.

Additionally, ADHD has traditionally been separated into three different forms or subtypes: inattentive, hyperactive/impulsive, or combined (a combination of the other two subtypes). All three subtypes are heavily skewed towards the boys, which outnumber girls from anywhere around 2:1 to 5:1 (some studies skew this gender difference even higher, up around 10:1). Based on the study by Levy and coworkers, here is an approximate distribution (numbers indicate overall percentages among the study population, which includes non-ADHD individuals) among the prevalence of the three subtypes for both genders:

As we can see, all three subtypes are skewed heavily in favor of the boys.

Of the three subtypes listed above, it appears that the subtype (again, perhaps not surprisingly) most associated with comorbid disorders (listed in the first point) is the combined subtype.

There appears to be a discrepancy between the genders as far as internal/external symptoms of ADHD and related disorders. Some studies have suggested a general trend in which many of the symptoms or problems of girls with ADHD and related disorders are more internalized (i.e., they do not outwardly manifest themselves as readily as boys), which may contribute to the skewed gender differences mentioned above. On the contrary, the same study suggests that external or outward symptoms are more apparent in boys, which may compound this effect.

Reading disabilities are, perhaps not surprisingly, more common in children with ADHD. It appears that reading disabilities correlate more to "internal" symptoms in girls and "external" symptoms in boys with ADHD, however, reading disorders appear to have very little overlap with conduct or oppositional behaviors such as aggression or delinquent behavior. Furthermore, reading difficulties appear to be more related to the inattentive side of the disorder of ADHD than the hyperactive/impulsive side of the disorder. In other words, the inattentive and combined ADHD subtypes are significantly more likely to have problems with reading than the exclusive hyperactive/impulsive subtype for both genders. It appears that reading difficulties and inattentive behavior may have an even stronger correlation in girls.

Furthermore, with regards to reading and speech disabilities, there is a strong gender difference for non-ADHD individuals. However, once the disorder of ADHD is introduced, the gender difference becomes less of a factor (this holds for all three ADHD subtypes). This may at least suggest, that ADHD symptoms may override or overpower what appears to be more subtle gender differences with regards to speech and reading disorders.

There is a significant association between generalized anxiety disorders and ADHD for both genders. Gender differences for the combined ADHD subtype were especially pronounced, with rates among females with the combined ADHD subtype being significantly higher than the combined subtype males. In addition, the combined subtype was more associated with generalized anxiety for both genders (when compared to the inattentive subtype), which suggests that hyperactivity/impulsivity may play some sort of role in generalized anxiety for both genders.

With regards to separation anxiety disorders (such as from parents or loved ones), it also appears that there is a higher correlation to girls with ADHD, especially with regards to the inattentive ADHD subtype. For boys, the separation anxiety disorders were highest for the combined ADHD subtype. The study suggested that separation anxiety disorders may be a sign of immaturity for both genders, and may be indicative of later "internalizing" problems in girls. Furthermore, this assertion is in agreement with several studies which associate ADHD with a delay in maturity.

Based on the two findings above, in which girls with the inattentive ADHD subtype had higher rates of separation anxiety disorders and girls with the combined subtype having increased rates of generalized anxiety disorders (both of which are considered more "internal" symptoms) than their male peers, it may be suggest that screening for ADHD in girls who exhibit anxiety disorders may be beneficial, in that it may reveal underlying comorbid ADHD and offset some of the skew among gender differences and ADHD.

Finally, age has been shown to be an important factor with regards to symptoms and severity of ADHD comorbid disorders. In this study, comparisons were done between the younger (ages and and under) and older (ages 11 and older) children in the study population. For males, the prevalence of most of the comorbid disorders (speech and reading difficulties, oppositional defiance, generalized and separation anxieties) decreased with age, with the notable exception being conduct disorders, which increased with age. For females, age was less of a factor for all of the comorbid disorders listed above with the exception of Separation Anxiety Disorders, which decreased with age (supporting the earlier assertion that this disorder is tied to maturity levels and would naturally decrease as a child gets older). In addition, inattentive symptoms associated with ADHD actually increased with age for the female population of the study. This was the exception to the overall trend of decreasing ADHD symptoms with age, which was seen in the other two subtypes for females and all three subtypes for males.

I would like to conclude with a final note of personal opinion. I firmly believe that when screening, diagnosing and attempting to treat ADHD and comorbid disorders, we employ far too little emphasis on the gender differences surrounding these disorders. This can lead to several potential problems such as stereotyping or pigeon-holing certain behaviors (i.e. attributing hyperactivity/impulsivity as being a "male" characteristic and either intentionally or unintentionally overlooking these symptoms or behaviors in girls).

In addition, it appears that girls may have a higher prevalence of the more "internal" comorbid disorders such as anxiety, which are often more difficult to detect than the more outward comorbid disorders of oppositional defiance and conduct disorders. This may play a major part in the gender discrepancy of ADHD diagnosis, which may leave a number of girls with ADHD undiagnosed and untreated.

Additionally, the more "internalized" nature of female cases may also lead to a lack of diagnosis and treatment for comorbid disorders associated with ADHD as well. The Levy study pointed this out, citing the discrepancy between referrals for ADHD-related reading disabilities. Reading disorders for boys were more likely to be associated with some of these outward characteristics, while girls with reading disorders exhibited more of the aforementioned "inward" traits. As a result, the rates of referral for boys with reading disabilities (based on their overall representation in the population) was almost twice that of girls.

Furthermore, this study by Levy, as well as several others, indicate that there are several (sometimes unusual or counter intuitive) associations between gender, and ADHD subtype and the expression of symptoms of specific comorbid disorders. For example, attributing an increase in Separation Anxiety disorders to younger females with the Inattentive ADHD subtype or Conduct Disorders to the Combined ADHD subtype in males may give us some possible insight as to which subpopulations of ADHD children are most "at risk" for developing some of the aforementioned comorbid disorders.

Since several of these comorbid disorders carry their own lines of medication and other treatments, the subclassification of ADHD children based on age, gender and subtype may be especially beneficial with regards to developing successful individualized treatment plans. I firmly believe that by separating out and subcategorizing ADHD and its comorbid disorders based on factors such as age, gender and subtype whenever possible could lead to a new a wealth of information for diagnosing and treating ADHD and its associated comorbid disorders.

Fraction Fest CCSS Aligned Hands on Activities

I just finished up a two week introduction to fractions. My students were pretty much blank slates when it came to fractions. Our state standards did not put much emphasis on fractions but the new Common Core has 4th grade teaching students EVERY little thing about fractions. At first I was really stressed out about it, but Im loving teaching fractions. I think it is actually more fun to teach something the students know nothing about. I finished up the introductory unit with a FRACTION FEST. [This is similar to the Geometry Fest I told you about earlier in the year. Click HERE if youd like to check out this freebie.] I had six stations set up around the room. Each activity dealt with a different and larger denominator. I started my struggling students out at the station with the smallest denominator. These activities were perfect for cementing those introductory fraction concepts in their mind. By the end of the day a could see the light bulb start lighting up for those struggling learners. The culminating activity was a Toddlers in Fractioniara"s Pageant. (If you dont get the name, check out TLCs Toddlers in Tiaras.) My students created the CUTEST little outfits for the Fraction Wear competition. Check out the picture of the "line up" portion of the pageant. Oh yes, I rolled out the red carpet (red butcher paper) and had "runway" music. Of course, I emceed the event and used the applications the students filled out for their toddler while the students walked their toddler on stage. So much fun!

For My Son on his 12th Birthday Fail Boldly

Fail boldly

Fail boldly in your endeavors
at least once
so long as it is worthy
and if you are sailing by the siren call of your own
inner guide
for that compass always steers true.
And even if the destination
is not where you intended to land
the journey is what makes you strong
and gives you interesting things to talk about
when you get old.
Fail boldly
and hate it
the taste of it, the smell of it
the hard reality of it
the humiliation and stress and sense of defeat.
Let it sting
let it ache
keep it close to you so you never forget.
Some people spend their lives running
from pain and trying to mask it.
I call them cowards.
Courage is not like you see in the movies
where the good guys win and the bad guys lose
where everything assimilates into
something dignified and sensible at the end.
Courage is much greater than that
because in this mean and petty world,
nothing is ever assured
and often, doing whats right means standing alone
while the rest of the world looks on and sneers.
But nothing silences critics like success.
Nothing shuts the gaping maws of the cackling hordes
like a man who failed boldly and got back on his feet to
win.
So wait
and train and plan and prepare
and when you win
win decisively.
