ADHD is Underdiagnosed in Girls; Here's Anna's Story
Stephanie Eisele
To say I was taken aback would be an understatement. Sitting in a blue plastic chair with my knees tucked up to my chin, I was convinced my daughter's first-grade teacher was confusing her with another classmate. My mind couldn't grasp the teacher's insinuation that associated my calm and cooperative Anna with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, commonly known as ADHD.
ADHD conjures up images of wiggly little boys making mischief in the classroom and falling behind academically. But Anna spoke in full sentences at 18 months and was so articulate that others remarked that she seemed much older. She was well-behaved, mature and an easy kid. She sat through movies at a young age and focused intently while reading. I comforted myself that I did my part to give her the best start possible: breast-feeding her through infancy, reading to her every night since she was a baby, and making organic purees from scratch. How could anything be wrong?
Anna's backstory didn't seem to mesh with the teacher's observation that she was "unfocused in the classroom," "having difficulty staying on task" and "not performing at the level she should be." She told me Anna was cooperative but would ask to use the bathroom often, or to see the nurse about small insignificant things.
"Do you see any of this behavior at home?" the teacher asked.
Well sure, a little bit, I thought, but Anna is 6. Aren't her actions typical for kids her age?
While her teacher didn't actually say "attention-deficit hyperactive disorder" out loud, there was no doubt she wanted me to speak to our pediatrician about having Anna tested. I wasn't convinced.
Driving home from the school, I thought about Anna's behavior over the years and realized that her attention did seem to drift. In dance class she was in her own world and didn't always follow the routines; then she quit dance after one year. Soccer was more of the same. Discovering multiple ways to adjust her pinny vest was way more interesting than engaging in the game happening around her.
I made an appointment for Anna to be evaluated by our pediatrician. And, as is typical for girls, my daughter passed the attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder screening, albeit with "a few small red flags." Still, there was nothing to hang a diagnosis on. Our pediatrician chalked up her behaviors to immaturity. We moved on.
Then her second-grade teacher noticed some of the same issues with focusing and following tasks. After I told her that Anna was tested for ADHD the previous year and had passed, the teacher replied, "I would fall off my chair backwards if you told me Anna has ADHD." I felt validated and reassured for about five seconds until the teacher mentioned something called an auditory processing disorder, a condition where kids can not process what they hear because their ears and brain don't fully coordinate.1 There is interference with the way the brain recognizes and interprets sounds, especially speech. So, we had Anna tested for the condition…and she passed.
When Anna moved into fourth grade, I was called to the school to discuss the continuing attention and task issues she was having in the classroom. This time, the meeting included her teacher and the district's psychologist and case manager. They had tested Anna and were confident she had ADHD.
Why attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder is missed in girls. Infographic: Gender Differences in ADHD Symptoms.
Why was it so hard to diagnose Anna over the years and why were there so many varying opinions? I learned through my research that ADHD in girls is not as easy to spot as it is boys2. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), boys are three times more likely to receive an ADHD diagnosis than girls.3 That's because girls are less likely to struggle with hyperactivity, fidgeting and impulsive behaviors that are typical for boys with the disorder. Girls like Anna are often pleasant members of the classroom, cooperative and not disruptive. Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder is also underdiagnosed in girls because many experts consider it a predominantly male disorder. Too often they end up falling through the cracks, unnoticed as they struggle.
Kids with ADHD (and others with attention-deficit disorder without hyperactivity) struggle because they lack "executive skills." Understood.org describes executive skills as the "CEO of the brain."4 It's what enables people to set goals, plan steps and get things done, like:
Following directions or a sequence of steps
Organizing materials
Planning and prioritizing
Starting tasks and staying focused on them to completion
Self-monitoring (keeping track of what they're doing)
Regulating emotions
Kids with ADHD typically have few or no executive skills. Because they also tend to lack attention to detail, they are mislabeled as lazy, unintelligent, daydreamy and underachieving.
During the meeting, Anna's fourth-grade teacher, the school psychologist and the case manager expressed concern about her moving on to fifth grade in "upper elementary," a new school with higher expectations for students. They suggested that Anna needed a 504 Plan to help her succeed there. By law, schools in our home state of New Jersey are compelled to develop a 504 Plan, which is a formal, individual education plan for a child identified with a disability. The 504 Plan provides the education support the child needs, prevents discrimination and protects their rights in school.
So, we went back to the pediatrician with the school's test results and recommendations, and obtained the required medical diagnosis of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder so that the district could consider Anna for the 504 Plan. Anna's father and I advocated for her to get the accommodations she needed to be successful in school, and she was approved for the 504 Plan.
You can imagine how happy we were that Anna completed fifth grade with honors, performing her best academically since kindergarten. She grew in confidence as she learned how to develop coping strategies and better relationships with her peers. She entered and completed her second season of Lacrosse, joined clubs and enrolled in her second season theater camp this summer.
Good grades were not my biggest concern, however. As girls head into adolescence they are more likely to face serious mental and emotional struggles, especially if ADHD is present. According to CHADD National Resource Center on ADHD, girls with the condition are more likely to struggle with depression, anxiety, substance abuse and eating disorders. They feel stress more and have lower self-esteem.5
Talk therapy has been an important part of Anna's life and she enjoys the opportunity to be herself in a safe environment. Therapy has taught her coping skills and encourages her to express her feelings. My hope for my daughter is to keep the communication ball rolling. Between bullying, peer pressure, social media and the opioid crisis, life for adolescents and teenagers is hard enough without being predisposed for depression.
I've learned that parents of kids with ADHD need to be especially vigilant. That's because these children are more impulsive and likely to act "in the moment" when they are feeling down or hopeless. They may not be able to step back and see the bigger picture. One study found that teens who were diagnosed with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder at a young age were twice as likely to make a suicide attempt than peers who did not have the disorder.6
Anna is 11 now. She has struggled with anxiety since early elementary school. She also has difficulty regulating her emotions, melting down easily and demonstrating over-dramatic reactions to situations. Loud noises like concerts can be overwhelming for her and she gets worked up over the idea of large crowds. Her behavioral issues in and out of the classroom are mild and she is succeeding without medication. I would rather not meddle with her success. She will soon experience a lot of hormonal changes that I don't want masked with other chemicals. For now, we will continue with therapy and school accommodations to develop her coping skills. However, I am open to the recommendation for medication if things should change.
We're doing well. This past summer, after two days of auditions, Anna was offered a lead role in her theater camp's production of Frozen, Jr. The day the cast list was released I took a deep breath because I knew the demands of the play would make for a long six weeks. Could Anna handle memorizing her lines, focus enough to learn scene blocking and, oh my God, manage all that singing!?! Will she be able to deal with the pressure of opening night, followed by three more performances? Or will anxiety take over and paralyze her? If I have butterflies in my stomach, what is she feeling?
We coped by doing calming exercises she learned in therapy and crossed our fingers and prayed for the best when the curtain opened. By the way, Frozen Jr. is a story of true love and acceptance between sisters, one who is named, coincidentally, Princess Anna.
Postscript: Anna did great in Frozen Jr. Her big musical role helped her develop coping skills for life outside of the classroom, including the hard work of being an adolescent. She started sixth grade with a positive outlook. We are grateful for the drama coaches who gave her the chance to perform and to the early observations of her teachers who, despite her subtle symptoms, pushed us to take a closer look at her behaviors.

The defending champions are after their third straight gold medal and fourth overall in the history of the FIVB Men's Club World Championship, after winning the 2013, 2015 and 2016 editions of the competition - all three in their traditional home of Betim.
Sada Cruzeiro have won the Brazil Superleague title five times (including the last four editions) and the Cup twice.
They have also dominated the South American Club Championship, claiming the title a record four times in 2012, 2014, 2016 and 2017, in addition to a bronze in 2009 and a silver in 2015.
Buenos Aires-born Marcelo Mendez, 53, is in his ninth year as coach of Sada Cruzeiro, which he has led to their three FIVB Club World Championship titles, four South American championships and five titles in the Brazilian Superleague – the most successful coach of the history of the national championship.
He has also coached the Spanish national team and clubs in Italy, as well as River Plate and Daom in his native country of Argentina.


The No. 2 department store chain is slowly but steadily growing its ties with the e-commerce giant.
Last fall, Kohl's (NYSE:KSS) launched a pair of interesting partnerships with Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN). In 10 stores in the Chicago and Los Angeles metro areas, it opened Amazon smart-home boutiques. Meanwhile, 82 Kohl's stores (also in the Chicago and Los Angeles areas) began accepting returns for Amazon.
While some pundits predicted that these moves would backfire for Kohl's, they have contributed to its improving sales and earnings trajectory instead. As a result, the companies are expanding both pilot programs ahead of the 2018 holiday season. This could pave the way for further cooperation between Kohl's and Amazon in the coming years.
Amazon opened smart-home shops in 10 Kohl's stores last fall. Image source: Kohl's.
When Kohl's first announced that it would team up with Amazon last year, the department store chain was in the midst of a multiyear period of stagnant sales. The growth of e-commerce -- and particularly of Amazon.com -- had a lot to do with Kohl's struggles.
Given that Kohl's and Amazon clearly are competitors today, many industry observers found this partnership to be bizarre. By simplifying the returns process for Amazon -- customers can drop off unwanted items without having to box them up or pay for shipping -- Kohl's is removing the biggest pain point for a key rival. Kohl's is also giving Amazon a leg up by showcasing Echo devices and other Alexa-compatible hardware.
However, Amazon isn't the only one benefiting from these arrangements. For Kohl's, the point of teaming up with Amazon is to drive more traffic to its stores. (Indeed, boosting store traffic is Kohl's No. 1 priority.) Someone who comes to check out an Amazon device or to make a return can potentially be convinced to make a purchase once they're already in the store.
So far, Kohl's and Amazon both seem to be happy about working together. In August, Kohl's CEO Michelle Gass had good things to say about the partnership. She boasted that the Amazon returns process is providing a great experience for customers of both companies. Gass also noted that Kohl's had expanded the Amazon returns program to 21 stores in the Milwaukee area.
Kohl's is pleased with the results of working with Amazon thus far. Image source: Kohl's.
Third-party data appear to support Gass' upbeat attitude. In May, Gorkon Haskett Research Advisors estimated (based on geolocation data) that stores accepting Amazon returns had seen an 8.5% bump in customer traffic. Much of the incremental traffic consisted of new or lapsed Kohl's customers. Customers in those stores also stayed longer, on average, which suggests that many people who used the Amazon returns service shopped in the Kohl's store on the same visit.
These promising results presumably contributed to the decision to expand the returns pilot to more locations. Now, Kohl's and Amazon also plan to triple the number of Amazon smart-home shops in Kohl's stores to 30 in time for the holiday season. They will open 12 more in the Chicago and Los Angeles regions, plus eight in the Milwaukee area.
Even after the latest expansion of the Amazon-Kohl's partnership, it's still very much in trial mode. Less than 10% of Kohl's 1,100-plus stores are involved with either of the two initiatives. Kohl's in particular is still analyzing data to measure the benefits of working with Amazon.
Yet the current pilot programs with Amazon will most likely never make it to 100% of Kohl's stores. For example, Kohl's is interested in shrinking hundreds of its stores and renting out the excess space to tenants like grocery stores or convenience stores that could drive lots of traffic to the area. (It is starting with a 10-store partnership with discount grocer Aldi.) Smaller Kohl's stores might not have enough space to handle Amazon returns or to have Amazon smart-home shops.
On the other hand, Amazon's interest in physical retail has been growing rapidly. It wouldn't be remotely surprising to see Amazon Go grocery/convenience stores -- or perhaps another Amazon store format -- appear next to Kohl's stores eventually. Amazon Go seems like a perfect fit in light of Kohl's goal of partnering with retailers that will drive a lot of traffic to its stores.
Kohl's and Amazon may be moving slowly in expanding their collaboration, but it appears that they are just getting started.


Locked-in syndrome (LIS) is a rare condition caused by bilateral damage to the ventral pons, most often due to a stroke. LIS is characterized by quadriplegia and bulbar palsy, caused by the interruption of the corticospinal and corticobulbar tracts in the pons. The only remaining voluntary muscle movements include vertical eye movement and blinking. Consciousness, awareness, cognition, and sensation are preserved. Diagnosis of pontine damage is made on a CT or MRI of the brain. Preserved cognition is diagnosed via EEG and neuropsychological testing. Management in most patients includes tracheostomy, mechanical ventilation, placement of a feeding tube, and physiotherapy. Patients learn to communicate through blinking and/or eye movements and the help of computer programs/speech synthesizers. Some patients may recover a certain degree of motor control, speech, and swallowing ability.
Patients with LIS can only communicate by blinking and vertical eye movements!
Demonstration of preserved cognition, vertical eye movements, and blinking in a quadriplegic, anarthric patient is diagnostic of LIS!
Quality of life: Patients with LIS may suffer from depression and apathy but most report a meaningful quality of life.

San Francisco Rent Prices Drop Amid Coronavirus Pandemic
Rents in the San Francisco area have begun to drastically drop much faster than other cities in the country after the devastating economic impacts of the coronavirus pandemic.
Zumper, an online assistance tool that helps people find houses and apartments to rent, revealed in its October report that rents in the city have dropped by 20% compared to last year. The organization observed that a resident could rent an average South-of-Market (SoMa) studio for about $2,056.
Statistics also showed that in Potrero Hill, prices were relatively higher, with studios costing around $2,345. For two-bedroom rents, the most expensive were found in Mission Bay, that net up to $4,372 each.
Rent price listings on Craig's List also showed similar trends. SoMa houses a 466 square foot studio priced at $2,080 per month and includes two free months. The unit also included a washer/dryer, hardwood floor, and modern appliances.
In Arkansas Street, a renter could get a 700 square foot one-bedroom unit with one bathroom and a washer/dryer for only $2,950 per month. The unit was shown to have carpet and linoleum floors and dated kitchens and finishes.
Apartment List research associate Rob Warnock said that one of the biggest questions moving forward is how much the coronavirus pandemic would have affected the people's preference for renting in cities. He said that studies found subtle regional shifts but noted there was no overwhelming evidence of massive urban exodus, the Potre Review reported.
In San Francisco, rent listing prices are going down at a steady rate, attracting renters back to the city. The massive decline is a result of the pandemic forcing people out of work, with no choice but to move out. Fewer customers meant that apartment owners did not have the opportunity to be picky with who gets to rent their units.
In September and October, the San Francisco Apartment Association conducted a survey of landlords that found over 20% of their renters broke their leases since the pandemic began. Despite some of the contracts being picked up by roommates and other renters, there has been an average of 15% reported vacancy rate, a massive jump from the 3% observed before the COVID-19 crisis started in March.
The health crisis also forced several residents to flee the city, causing a sharp decline in San Francisco's workforce. Data showed that job postings in the city dropped by 38.5% compared to last year, surpassing New York City's numbers, which reported 36.4%.
The price drops are an opportunity for residents who are looking to move into San Francisco for much cheaper than before, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.
While San Francisco has experienced a surge of declines in rent prices, the rents are still relatively expensive for most people to afford. The city has one of the highest prices among major cities in the United States. Real estate observers called the sharp drop in prices as "tech exodus" with companies moving forward with work-from-home settings with their employees.
The city's coronavirus response plan has been highly successful and enabled the region to slowly recover its economy amid the pandemic. Multiple establishments and businesses, including non-essential offices, have begun to open their doors to the public, albeit at reduced capacities.
This year, San Francisco saw a massive 21% drop in rental prices compared to last year. However, the decline during the months of September and October have been much less at 1% compared to the numbers observed in late summer.
Analysts expect that the next few months would reveal if the influx of people coming back to live in the city could fix what people call San Francisco's rental market "free fall," the San Francisco Weekly reported.

Q: Creating a recursive method for counting a specific character in C# I tried searching within Stackflow to help me answer my question but i did not have any luck since the ones i found are mainly in C++ or Java.
I have recently learned Recursive so please pardon my ability to not understand some terms relating to it.
My question to who ever is able to answer is,what is missing in my code? I need my code to successfully count a specific character within a statement I put in a string. for now my code only prints out the statement.
public class CountCharacter
{
    public static void Main (string[] args)
    {
        string s = "most computer students like to play games";
        Console.WriteLine(s);
    }

    public static int countCharacters( string s, char c)
    {
        if (s.Length ==0)
            return 0;
        else if (s[0]==c)
            return 1+ countCharacters(s.Substring(1), 's');
        else
            return 0 + countCharacters (s.Substring(1),'s');
    }
}

A: Try this:
public class CountCharacter
{
    public static void Main (string[] args)
    {
        string s = "most computer students like to play games";
        Console.WriteLine(countCharacters(s, 's'));
    }

    public static int countCharacters( string s, char c)
    {
        if (s.Length == 0)
            return 0;
        else if (s[0] == c)
            return 1 + countCharacters(s.Substring(1), c);
        else
            return countCharacters(s.Substring(1), c);
    }
}

A:         static void Main(string[] args)

social media, twitter, writing
Offended on Twitter? Maybe the problem is you.
21st February 2017 Dougie Brimson	Leave a comment
Twitter, as anyone who uses it will know, is a funny old place.
From genuinely household names to people who are little more than legends in their own minds, it plays host to every kind of character from every corner of this planet we call earth. And I love it.
It's fair to say that I've met some brilliant people via the little blue bird and I've certainly sold lots of books. I've also obtained a reasonable amount of work and even achieved the odd thing of which I feel quite proud. But more than that, it's a huge source of entertainment.
From football to films or military to moron, there isn't a subject or issue imaginable which isn't being talked about at the exact moment you log in and want to talk about it. And in an age which is being increasingly dominated by Brexit and Trump, it has become the perfect place to poke and prod the opposition both for sport and for personal gratification. I mean, what's not to like about that?
There is of course, a flip side. There are some seriously deluded people out there and if you let it, Twitter can eat up time like nothing else on earth. Not so good when you're a writer on a deadline, not so bad when you're bored and there's nothing on TV.
It's also troll heaven but as long as you know how to deal with them and understand that most are too stupid to realise when they're being mocked, they can actually be great fun. They certainly make me laugh.
But at the end of the day, Twitter is whatever you want it to be. Toy or tool, whatever works for you.
Just take it seriously at your peril.

Radkey, November 5
Radkay at the Raccoon Motel - November 5.
Friday, November 5, 8 p.m.
The Raccoon Motel, 315 East Second Street, Davenport IA
Performing locally in support of their 2020 sophomore album Green Room and its singles including "Bend," "Ain't No Sunshine," "Seize," and "Underground," the sibling punk rockers of Radkey play a November 5 concert at Davenport's Raccoon Motel, the young musicians praised by Atwood magazine for their "thick, slick rock and roll sound built on power chords and hypnotic vocal melodies."
Radkey is composed of three home-schooled brothers from St. Joseph, Missouri: Isaiah (bass), Solomon (drums), and Dee Radke (lead vocals and guitar). The young men formed their family-titled band in 2010, and played their first show in 2011 when they opened for Fishbone. With their father Matt as their manager, the siblings have since played with the likes of Jack White, The Offspring, Descendents, Black Joe Lewis, and Titus Andronicus, and have performed at festivals including SXSW, Riot Fest, Japan's Punkspring, the United Kingdom's Download Festival, and the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival. In the years since Radkey's inception, the musicians have recorded three EPs in 2012's Cat & Mouse, 2013's Devil Fruit, and 2019's No Strange Cats, and the trio released their debut LP Dark Black Makeup in August of 2015. The music video for their song "Glore" was featured in an episode of Off the Air on Adult Swim, and when Radkey's LP debut was re-released the following year under the title Delicious Rock Noise, New Noise magazine wrote that with "pop culture lyrics and catchy melodies in the vein of Ramones coupled with driving rock and great lyrics, this album is a pure delight."
Similar ravesd greeted the release of Green Room last year, with Atwood continuing its rave by stating that "the floppy tom-and-snare beats, the driving guitar and bass downstrokes, and Dee's deep croon affirm that the band comes from the school of the Ramones." Writing in the River Cities' Reader, Max Allison said of the group, "Their hooks are catchy and their melodies are distinctive – the kinds of tunes that you can actually hum along to and come to know the melodic arcs of. They know how to build up and release energy in the span of a four-minute song, and know when to pare down their arrangements to the most minimal stomp to let the vocals take center stage. It's no surprise that this band has become popular, with videos with over 300,000 views and tens of thousands of fans on social media. They know exactly what they're doing, and know how to get people engaged."
Radkey plays their Davenport engagement on November 5 with opening sets by The Many Colored Death and Road Soda, admission to the 8 p.m. concert is $15, and more information and tickets are available by visiting TheRaccoonMotel.com.

Planned Parenthood's New Campaign: "Protect Our Freedom to F—"
Micaiah Bilger Jul 13, 2018 | 1:47PM Washington, DC
Planned Parenthood's New York City affiliate launched a crude new campaign this week to promote abortion and promiscuous sex with the slogan "Protect our freedom to f—."
The Blaze reports profanity is highlighted throughout the New York City abortion chain's new fundraising campaign to "make sure that everyone has access to the sexual and reproductive health care services they need."
Gerard Caputo, CEO of BBH NY CCO, which created the ads, told AdWeek that Planned Parenthood of New York City wanted a campaign that is not easy to ignore.
"'Freedom to F—' is meant to speak to a younger generation more empowered than ever and hopefully willing to help," Caputo said. "It all starts with the courage to do something different and we believe we have already succeeded."
Here's more from the report:
Planned Parenthood of New York City — claiming Big Apple residents "have more sex than anyone else in America. (Woo! We did it!)" — wants to "make sure that everyone has access to the sexual and reproductive health care services they need."
To that end, the organization launched a fundraising campaign this week aimed at millennials — and it broadcasts its intent in no uncertain terms: "Protect our freedom to f***."
Boasting that Planned Parenthood is "proud to provide abortion services," the profanity-laced campaign ad ends with the words, "Protect our right to safely f— whoever the f— we want."
It tells milliennials their donations will support abortions and programs about "sex education on consent, LGBTQ inclusivity, and healthy relationships."
Planned Parenthood's version of "healthy relationships" means promiscuous sex with as many partners as the person wants and without any responsibilities attached. If pregnancy – a natural result of sex – occurs, Planned Parenthood promises to be there to abort the unborn baby, allowing an individual to shirk their responsibilities to their own child by paying to have his/her life destroyed.
Barth Bracy, director of Rhode Island Right to Life, said the ad campaign left him feeling incredulous.
"Planned Parenthood is revealing who they are," Bracy said. "Candidates who take an endorsement from Planned Parenthood are associating themselves with this message."
Planned Parenthood is the largest abortion business in America, aborting approximately 320,000 unborn babies every year. Its most recent annual report showed a record income of $1.46 billion, with about half a billion dollars coming from taxpayers. It also contributes millions annually to pro-abortion political campaigns, most often Democrats.
In December, the U.S. Department of Justice said it is investigating whether the abortion chain illegally sold aborted baby body parts.

The first games for the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup taking place in Russia have now been played, and there have already been plenty of thrills and spills. Take a look at the highlights thus far, and see who is ahead in the game.
The 1st time a Russian national soccer team took part in a game held at the St Petersburg Stadium saw them triumph, as they defeated New Zealand by 2 points. This surprise win no doubt went a long way towards boosting the home team's morale.
Michael Boxall's own goal after Denis Glushakov's rounding of the keeper and knocking the ball against the field post and a 2nd-half strike from Fedor Smolov saw the host team's pre-tournament nerves quelled as they took the match.
Their next meeting is with the Portuguese European Champions in Moscow.
The 2nd Group A match was held between the Mexican team, who are Gold Cup winners, and the Portuguese squad, and played host to the Confederations Cup debut of the best player in the world, Cristiano Ronaldo.
Ricardo Quaresma scored in the 34th minute, but Javier 'Chicharito' Hernandez levelled the totals just 8 minutes later, and in doing so became the only player in this tournament to have scored in an earlier edition of this competition. He scored 3 goals back in 2013.
The second Group A game between Gold Cup winners Mexico and European champions Portugal saw the Confederations Cup debut of the world's best player Cristiano Ronaldo.
Ronaldo's presence on the field has set online betting sites a-flurry, as they make markets available for sports betting fans around the world.
The Portuguese players will next be facing off against Russia in Moscow, and Mexico is set to meet up with New Zealand in Sochi.
The champions from South America, Chile, and the holder of the Africa Cup of Nations, Cameroon, opened the matches for Group B at the Spartak Stadium.
Alexis Sanchez, who replaced Edson Puch at the 58th minute, proved to make the match, playing a vital part in both of the goals scored later on in the game. The first was thanks to Arturo Vidal, the second Eduardo Vargas, and the seesaw game that unfolded included 2 disallowed goals for each side.
The winger from Arsenal may see trouble in the tournament coming up however, since rumours of a badly swollen ankle after Sunday evening's game are doing the rounds. Vidal took Man of the Match, thanks to the instrumental part he played in the midfield, and may well prove to be Chile's pivotal player going forward, especially in light of the uncertainty regarding Sanchez's continued participation.
The Cameroonians are set to face off against Australia in St. Petersburg next, while Chile will play against Germany, in Kazan.
The current world champions Germany, and winners of the Asian Cup Australia gave a thrilling 5-point game on Monday. The Germans will be moving on to face a rigorous opponent in Chile in Kazan next, and Australia is set for a date with the Cameroonians in St Petersburg. Both sides will be looking to make their 1st points for the 2017 Russia Confederations Cup with these games.

There are more new features in WebDAM. New enhancements in the digital asset management software, announced this week, are designed to increase consistency of use.
The main new additions are hierarchical support and a taxonomy builder for WebDAM's controlled vocabulary. Controlled vocabulary assists users in consistently employing the same keywords, enabling metadata and workflows to remain consistent. Hierarchy allows the keyword list to be organized into defined categories, and the taxonomy builder is used to create, organize and group keywords, with drag and drop for existing keywords.
WebDAM gave the example of how the taxonomy builder could allow a user to place all the models of the Dodge car brand under that term, so that, if someone uses Charger as a keyword, the system automatically adds Dodge.
The digital asset management company also introduced the ability to batch export all IPTC metadata, so that assets can be audited. Revisions to group member management and the admin dashboard provide group stats with quick links, which the company said facilitates group member management and eliminates the need to keep track of which users belong to which group.
In recent months, WebDAM has been on a roll. Last month, for instance, it announced new features that allowed users to centralize, control, catalog, share and play their PowerPoint presentations within WebDAM from any connected device.
It also unveiled enhancements that offer the ability to individually download or batch download files in the desired format, with WebDAM handling the conversion. Supported file formats include jpeg, png, tiff, eps, bmp, gif and pdf.
In July, WebDAM added collaboration features that could be useful when crunching under deadlines. Those features, based around email notifications and alerts, update everyone in a team with the status of the assets in question, and sends updates when those assets are modified in a specified way.
Also in July, WebDAM said that its second quarter was a DAM good one, with a record-breaking number of new customers, a surpassing of sales and revenue goals, and a 100 percent customer retention rate.

Google to face the music over Street View snooping
By Hugh Langley 2013-09-11T10:45:00.253Z Internet
The case continues
Big G is in trouble
Google's Street View fiasco has been going on since 2010, when it was revealed that its cars had collected private user data such as emails from unsecured Wi-Fi networks since 2007.
Now Google's request to have the case dismissed has been rejected by a US appeals court, meaning Mountain View will have to face the consequences.
Google's cars had gone beyond collecting the minimum photo-based data they had set out for, something which Google insists was completely unintentional.
Google argued that the case should be dismissed as the data was captured from radio communications that were readily accessible to the public and therefore exempt under the Wiretap Act.
That ain't gonna fly, G
But this wasn't enough to fly with the San Francisco federal appeals court, which said that it's unreasonable to assume the general public would have the expertise to intercept data in the same way.
It's unclear what Google's next move will be here, but it may go to trial or manage to find a way to settle instead.
Google promised to destroy all of the information and shut down the equipment collecting the data, however it will have to keep the data until the case is over, which may still be some time away now.

Dr James Manby Gully ( - ), est un médecin victorien, connu pour pratiquer le thermalisme. Avec son partenaire James Wilson, il fonde une clinique d'"hydropathy" (terme de l'époque) à Malvern dans le Worcestershire, qui est fréquentée par de nombreux notables victoriens, et notamment des personnalités telles que Charles Darwin et Alfred Tennyson.

Il est également l'un des suspects de l'affaire d'empoisonnement Charles Bravo qui est finalement restée non résolue.

Carrière
Gully étudie la médecine à Paris et à l'université d'Édimbourg. À partir de 1830 il exerce à Londres, mais est déçu par l'orthodoxie inflexible de la médecine occidentale.

En 1842, il lit un article de Vincenz Priessnitz, un chirurgien autrichien qui défend le thermalisme. Il quitte aussitôt la chirurgie et Londres et établit sa première clinique de cure à Malvern avec James Wilson, un autre hydrothérapeute.

La renommée de l'établissement augmente et Gully et Wilson deviennent des figures populaires au niveau national. Deux autres cliniques sont ouvertes à Malvern et reçoivent des patients célèbres tels que Charles Darwin, Charles Dickens, Thomas Carlyle, Florence Nightingale, Alfred Tennyson et Samuel Wilberforce.

Croyance et causes
Gully est un orateur et un écrivain populaire. Il est également un fervent défenseur de nombreuses causes féminines. Il défend ainsi le droit au vote des femmes et les ligues de tempérance associés au mouvement féministe, l'alcool étant souvent la cause de violences conjugales. Il crée une séparation nette entre les sexes dans ses cliniques et pense que de nombreuses plaintes psychologiques féminines (dépression, anxiété, hypocondrie, hystérie) sont dues aux pressions exercées sur les femmes victoriennes, qui se doivent d'être chastes, sans ambition professionnelle, efficaces, altruistes, au détriment de leur bien-être personnel.

Affaire de Florence Bravo
En 1872 il rencontre une jeune femme nommée Florence Ricardo (plus tard Florence Bravo). Ils deviennent secrètement amants. L'année suivante, alors qu'elle voyage avec Gully vers Kissingen en Allemagne, Florence tombe enceinte et c'est Gully qui pratique l'avortement. Par la suite leur relation devient purement platonique.

Puis Florence rencontre Charles Bravo, et ils se marient en 1875. Après avoir appris cette nouvelle par courrier, Gully aurait littéralement déchiré la lettre en morceaux. Quelques mois plus tard, le , Charles Bravo meurt d'empoisonnement. Le coupable ne fut jamais retrouvé, Gully est considéré comme suspect, ainsi que Florence, mais l'affaire n'est jamais résolue.

Gully meurt en 1883. Son fils William Gully, homme politique libéral, est  président de la Chambre des communes de 1895 à 1905.

Klamath Report Calls for Broader Approach to Saving Fish
By Kat Kerlin on October 21, 2003 in
Instead of focusing primarily on how water levels and flows affect endangered and threatened fish in Upper Klamath Lake and the Klamath River, federal agencies charged with protecting the fish should pay greater attention to other causes of harm, says a new report from the National Academies' National Research Council.
The report comes today from a committee asked by the Bush administration to assess the Klamath Basin situation after federal agencies cut off irrigation water to farmers in 2001 in an attempt to save the endangered fish during a drought. In the ensuing battles, the basin became a national flashpoint for controversy over the Endangered Species Act.
The 12-person committee of science, law and economics experts includes two faculty members from the University of California, Davis. They are Peter Moyle, an authority on Pacific Coast native fishes, and Jeffrey Mount, an authority on river management and restoration.
"We found that the prevailing scientific sentiment in the basin -- 'More water is better for fish' -- was the wrong approach," Mount said. "Instead, what matters to the survival of these fish, and to the many others at risk in the basin, is where the water is, when it's there, what its quality is, and what the habitats are like."
"The scientists in the basin have collected lots of great information but there has been a tendency to use the data to demonstrate that more water was needed for the endangered fish, rather than looking at alternative explanations," added Moyle.
The research council's Committee on Threatened and Endangered Fishes of the Klamath Basin devoted 18 months of volunteer time to extensive review and re-analysis of decades worth of data about the ecosystems of this 12,000-square-mile watershed. The diverse ecosystems include high elevation desert lakes like Upper Klamath Lake in Southern Oregon, and rugged snowmelt-fed tributary streams like the Shasta and Trinity rivers, in California.
The committee considered studies and reports from biologists with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Marine Fisheries Service, which are the two federal agencies charged with preserving the fish listed under the Endangered Species Act; from the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, which is the federal agency managing the Klamath Project; and from other federal, Oregon and California agencies, consulting biologists and academic scientists.
They considered the fishes' life-cycle needs and populations; basin water quality; and the basin's many concurrent uses, which include farming, grazing, timber harvest, hydroelectric production and recreation.
In the final report, the committee indicated that some adjustments (such as increased summer flows down the river) were needed to the operation of the Klamath Project, which delivers irrigation water to 220,000 acres of farmland, but not adjustments as severe as those originally proposed by the fisheries agencies. However, the committee identified even more strongly the need for other kinds of initiatives to protect the fish, such as habitat improvement, cooler summer water temperatures in tributaries, removal of dams that block fish migration, and changes in the management of hatcheries.
In 2001, both federal fisheries agencies issued "biological opinions" under the Endangered Species Act, in effect ordering the Bureau of Reclamation to maintain higher water levels to protect endangered shortnose suckers and Lost River suckers and higher flows to protect threatened coho salmon.
In its interim report, released in February 2002, the Research Council committee found no substantial scientific support for the fisheries agencies' requirements, or for lower minimum water levels that the bureau had proposed. In this final report from the committee, it reiterated those conclusions.
The committee's report covers an array of problems, such as excessive growth of algae and depleted oxygen levels in Upper Klamath Lake, dams that block spawning migrations, competition from hatchery fish, excessive sediment in streams, loss of stream bank vegetation, and high water temperatures in the summer.
It also emphasizes the need for a multi-species, or ecosystem, approach to management because there are many other fishes in the basin that are declining and are either on the road to being listed or are species that are important in tribal fisheries.
"Our main conclusion is that you can't fix Upper Klamath Lake, although there are some good things that can be done to the Klamath River," said Moyle. "The main solutions lie in the tributaries, and the Shasta River is our favorite. It is fixable in a way that others aren't.
"It once flowed all summer, crystal-clear cold water, and had huge runs of coho salmon, Chinook salmon and steelhead trout. If you reduced its use for irrigated pasture and alfalfa fields, that would lower its temperature. If you removed Dwinnell Dam, you'd increase access to spawning and young-fish habitat. That sort of system approach is what's needed in the Klamath Basin."
"For too long, Klamath managers have relied on fixing their problems by turning only one knob -- the knob of raising and lowering water levels in Upper Klamath Lake and in the river. They need to take new approaches that support multiple populations of fish and healthy ecosystems throughout the watershed" said Mount.
Other specific actions the committee recommended included:
Healthy sucker populations in lakes such as Clear Lake and Gerber Lake should be preserved and protected. Water should be restored to Tule Lake and Lower Klamath Lake to support suckers there.
The Chiloquin Dam on the Sprague River should be removed. Approximately 12 feet tall, it blocks as much as 90 percent of the spawning habitat for suckers above Upper Klamath Lake.
All other diversions that capture suckers from tributaries or lakes should be either removed, screened or remodeled to reduce fish mortality.
To help coho salmon, cool water should be procured in tributaries -- by purchasing, leasing or trading for groundwater -- and woody vegetation should be restored to provide shade.
Large dams, such as Iron Gate Dam and Dwinnell Dam, should be evaluated for removal in order to provide access to cool tributary spawning grounds.
The two current fish-hatchery operations should be re-evaluated. "We saw no reasonable evidence that the hatcheries are contributing to the recovery of wild salmon in the system," said Moyle. "Hatchery fish are bigger than wild fish. When millions are released into the Klamath River, the hatchery fish can either compete with or prey on the smaller wild fish, especially in the few good places where there is cold water in summer." He suggests that one hatchery be closed for a three-year period -- the typical life span of a coho salmon -- and the results be studied.
The two fisheries agencies should use their authority to modify forestry and road-construction activities on federal lands that are causing damage to fish habitat.
The agencies should expand their efforts to reduce "takings," or harm, of coho on private land.
Recovery teams for suckers and salmon should be established, guided by master plans and reviewed by outside experts every three years. The recovery-team scientists should frequently publish their key findings in peer-reviewed journals.
