Shaewaros wrote:I don't buy the idea that if civilization would collapse, people would become predatory monsters without empathy or social restraint. People value security, predictability and order more than instant gratification of individual urges. War veterans often have told about how in a time of crisis they felt more connected to their brothers in arms than they had ever felt to their families and loved ones. I'd imagine that after a nuclear holocaust people would seek solitude in any community they had access to and try to regain at least some sense of security and comfort.
On the other hand, racism, nationalism and other means of securing social cohesion would definitely flourish after the society had fallen. There is a reason why all tribal societies had religious practices, tribe-specific initiation rites etc. These concepts are useful in creating cohesion and order among social groups. Social cohesion has been, according to evolutionary biologists, the reason why Homo sapiens became the dominant species in the first place, since social cohesion brings the benefit of learning from others and passing on the information to the next generation. Post-apocalyptic setting would certainly make a vastly different setting for a struggle for survival than a typical Darwinian struggle, however as descendants of these early tribes men I believe the modern man would follow his ancestors footsteps instead of resorting to devastating and ultimately self-annihilating anarchy.
I agree that mostly CRPGs have explored controversial social themes indirectly, for instance by representing the oppressed with elves and other fictitious entities. Personally I can't recall a single game that would have dealt with themes like racism in a really profound way. Games like System Shock 2 and Deus Ex explore human nature and the nature of society admirably well though. I would warmly welcome any game that would venture to explore these controversial issues in-depth, however I don't think that Wasteland 2 is the right platform for this kind of experiment. Maybe this could be an idea for the next big Kickstarter hit?
Mandemon wrote:Except, once again, world of Wasteland isn't exactly "One step away from extinction". They are in early stages of birth of first real nations. Like when Rome started to build it's empire. They have resources NOT to be racist.
Mandemon wrote:Thing is, back then civilizations like today didn't had roots.
Today, we are taught from birth certain values. I doubt those values just go *poof* moment nobody is looking. Certain values will undoubtedly survive, like concepts of democracy, tolerance etc. etc.
Some groups could value these values over others and build their societies based on those. Just because world as it is now gets nuked, doesn't mean everything achieved in past 2 000 years is going to disappear. Why would we value tolerance and oppose racism, if those things are something society normally embraces?
When Roman Empire collapsed, true, much was lost, but not everything. Roman calendar survived. Names survived. Some technologies survived. We use Roman alphabet even today. Latin survived, despite everyone who speaks it for his/her mother language disappeared. Law system used by Romans survived and became a base which modern courts have been build. Russian Tsar is derived from Caesar.
Just because society collapses, doesn't mean everything, from morals to ideas, disappears. I refuse to submit to idea that humanity loses all ideas of co-operation and tolerances and reverts about 1800 years.
DrunkVision wrote:...Lol, do you think that civilisation right now has only good roots without any bad ones? Take for example part of the report given by professor Gary Orfield from Harvard University at 2006 "level of segregation in USA have risen to the level of 1960s".
Today a LOT of americans prefer to live in closed communities and isn't it quite famous motto like having your own house in small town with clear air?..
Also may I ask you - did you protest against Iraq bombings? What about Livia bombings? Americans tend to write on their chests that they are tolerant while not giving a duck that their government without any proper reason is bombing other nations. Futhermore, we, russians, do not forget that many germans migrated to your country in 1945, including scientists who were experimenting not only on american, french, russian, england soldiers, but on pregnant woman and children. Yeah, we did steal some of the result of your research, but it was your government that while giving sentences to simple-minded generals whose only sin was to be loyal to their nation, made whole institutes for your newly aquired "friends" to continue their research in more mild way.
I do believe that there are a lot of good-natured americans with excellent personalities, still, I don't believe that you're good neightbours.
Mandemon wrote:First of all, I am from Finland, but I did oppose Iraq war because whole thing smelled "FREE OIL".
Mandemon wrote:Furthermore, what you describe is tribalism, not racism. There is difference there.
Crazy Wolf wrote:Er, both the Western Allies and the CCCP did the whole "grab Nazi scientists and not kill them in exchange for their knowledge and expertise", so it seems sorta a strange point for you as a Russian to be making.
People pass on what they know and practice. So if you had a lot of bomb-shelter dictators, I'd expect the civilization after them to have a fair amount of dictators. If people continued to adhere to representative government, then I'd expect representative governments to come out of those (barring any major revolution in thinking). Similarly, if people bothered to be racist or xenophobic, then their offspring would likely uphold that tradition.
DrunkVision wrote:Mandemon wrote:Furthermore, what you describe is tribalism, not racism. There is difference there.
Is there difference? When there are nations flourishing-it's racism, when only few people are there-it's tribalism, isn't it?

You may have been one of the millions effected by GoDaddy (you know, the site where you can purchase domain names, host a site, and even use their tools to create quick and dirty websites....and the one with the infamous "GoDaddy Girls" commercials?) being hacked the other day.
I'm happy to say that my simple little site, which is hosted there, is up and running happily, no damage done. But if you hosted an eCommerce site there, for example, you might have had a loss of revenue. And sometimes, users will just not return to a site that they think is broken or no longer functional. And of course, not everybody is paying attention to the news that a popular web host is down.
Today I got a notice that someone had logged on to my Pinterest account from Indonesia. I admit to getting up in the night for a snack now and then, but I really can't imagine that I got out of bed and headed to an airport for a quick overnight flight to Indonesia just to log on to Pinterest. Clearly, I'd been hacked.
But Pinterest? It's not a commerce site, there's no credit card information or even anything significantly damning to make it an obvious target for hacking.
What the culprit was really up to was spamming my Pinterest account with a "get rich quick by working from home" scheme. Because Pinterest pins are shared with those following you, my broken-English gushing over how excited I was to have found this great way to "make monies," accompanied by a 1950s style back-of-the-comic-book art work, would have gone out to the thousands - ok, dozens - of people who wait breathlessly for my next Pin!
It wasn't so bad, at least for me. I had to change my password, and delete the spammed pins. While this wasn't particularly onerous for me as I'm not an avid Pinner, it could have been a real pain in the neck for someone who is a very active pinner, as the spurious Pin was in every board, sometimes multiple times.
I was half laughing and half shaking my head is dismay at the thought of someone in Indonesia creating a Pinbot in the hopes that someone - anyone - would be silly enough a) to click on such a silly Pin, and b) to actually take action on the idiotic offer. But as P.T. Barnum said...

180 Spear St, San Francisco, CA | Directions 94105
37.791391 -122.393040 View WebsiteEditorial Review. Italian restaurant serves pasta, antipasti, soups, salads and sandwiches for lunch and dinner. Carry-out and catering available.
Best service, price, food....
What a nice place to eat. The owner goes out of his way to serve you and make sure that you are happy. I really recommend this place. I am a very hard person to please when it comes to service and food and this is my first time leaving a review for anything. I am taking the time to write this, check this place out.
It's a must!!!
Bland and Bad Service.
This place is not worth a visit. From the outside it looks nice and worthwhile, however this is not the case. Pasta is not too hard to make, but Paradiso successfully will take your $10 for a bowl of bland pasta. I ordered the Fettuccini Carbonata which is supposed to have red peppers, egg, ham, and parmasian... but what I got was a bowl of over cooked pasta, bland alfredo sauce, and a few pieces of bacon.
In addition, the service was poor. The waiters were climbing over other people's seats to serve food. Obviously this place is not big enough to serve & eat.
If you're looking for Italian, check elsewhere.

Fun place with fantastic food and servic.
we were so pleased with the service, the food, the ambience and can say that it is our favorite casual and fun restaurant Among the excellent dishes we had, 3 were just fantastic: the grilled chicken special, the grilled salmon and Penne a la Vodka.
Job well done!
Lovely ladies!. I do enjoy the food, the service and especially the ladies at lunch. It has become my hangout to relax, eat well, listen to good music and enjoy seeing those lovely ladies at lunch. It is the perfect place for a late breakfast business meeting before the busy lunch where sometimes one waits for a table or takes out.
best choice and quality. Incredible choice: from the penne alla vodka to the penne rustica to the fettucine paradiso and the polpette, the chickenpesto, the roasted chicken, the sauteed mussels, etc... and this is without counting the daily specials and the subsitutions the friendly staff will promptly execute! You can specify hotter if you like or milder (great for kids). The price is unbeatable and the service so friendly you feel right at home: actually you will fast see the same people coming back again and again!
Excellent service. We hosted a birthday party at this restaurant and were very pleased. The service was impeccable, the food was very tasty and our guests were quite impressed.
the ysaved te day. I was sick and had to stay home. I got a great menu selection online, the lady on the phone, Dorianne was so helpful. I got my dinner and soup within 40 minutes. Thank you Pasta Paradiso!
Watery and Bland. WOW, there are a lot of 9s and 10s for a place so consistantly inconsistant. While a select few dishes are always good, most pasta dishes we've tried (tomato, cream, and rosa) have been watery and flavorless. Even the day's specials! They are very nice there, but it doesn't seem they taste test a recipe, or even follow one.
I eat out all the time therefore I am always searching for a restaurant that offers the best quality for a fairly reasonable price. I have found it and it is Pasta Paradiso.

UN vote recognizes state of Palestine; US objects
UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The United Nations voted overwhelmingly Thursday to recognize a Palestinian state, a long-sought victory for the Palestinians but an embarrassing diplomatic defeat for the United States.
The resolution upgrading the Palestinians' status to a nonmember observer state at the United Nations was approved by a more than two-thirds majority of the 193-member world body — a vote of 138-9, with 41 abstentions.
A Palestinian flag was quickly unfurled on the floor of the General Assembly, behind the Palestinian delegation. In the West Bank city of Ramallah, hundreds crowded into the main square waved Palestinian flags and chanted "God is great." Others who had crowded around outdoor screens and television sets to watch the vote hugged, honked and set off fireworks before dancing in the streets.
Real independence, however, remains an elusive dream until the Palestinians negotiate a peace deal with the Israelis, who warned that the General Assembly action will only delay a lasting solution. Israel still controls the West Bank, east Jerusalem and access to Gaza, and it accused the Palestinians of bypassing negotiations with the campaign to upgrade their U.N. status.
The United States immediately criticized the historic vote. "Today's unfortunate and counterproductive resolution places further obstacles in the path peace," U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice said. And U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton called the vote "unfortunate" and "counterproductive."
The United States and Israel voted against recognition, joined by Canada, the Czech Republic, Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Nauru, Palau and Panama.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the speech by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to the General Assembly shortly before the vote "defamatory and venomous," saying it was "full of mendacious propaganda" against Israel. He called the vote meaningless.
Abbas had told the General Assembly that it was "being asked today to issue the birth certificate of Palestine." Abbas said the vote is the last chance to save the two-state solution.
After the vote, Netanyahu said the UN move violated past agreements between Israel and the Palestinians and that Israel would act accordingly, without elaborating what steps it might take.
Just before the vote, Israel's U.N. ambassador, Ron Prosor, warned the General Assembly that "the Palestinians are turning their backs on peace" and that the U.N. can't break the 4,000-year-old bond between the people of Israel and the land of Israel. Continued...
The vote had been certain to succeed, with most of the member states sympathetic to the Palestinians. Several key countries, including France, this week announced they would support the move to elevate the Palestinians from the status of U.N. observer to nonmember observer state.
Thursday's vote came on the same day, Nov. 29, that the U.N. General Assembly in 1947 voted to recognize a state in Palestine, with the jubilant revelers then Jews. The Palestinians rejected that partition plan, and decades of tension and violence have followed.
The vote grants Abbas an overwhelming international endorsement for his key position: establishment of a Palestinian state in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and east Jerusalem, the territories captured by Israel in the 1967 Mideast war. With Netanyahu opposed to a pullback to the 1967 lines, this should strengthen Abbas' hand if peace talks resume.
The overwhelming vote also could help Abbas restore some of his standing, which has been eroded by years of standstill in peace efforts. His rival, Hamas, deeply entrenched in Gaza, has seen its popularity rise after an Israeli offensive on targets linked to the Islamic militant group there earlier this month.
Israel has stepped back from initial threats of harsh retaliation for the Palestinians seeking U.N. recognition, but government officials warned that Israel would respond to any Palestinian attempts to use the upgraded status to confront Israel in international bodies.
The Palestinians now can gain access to U.N. agencies and international bodies, most significantly the International Criminal Court, which could become a springboard for going after Israel for alleged war crimes or its ongoing settlement building on war-won land.
However, in the run-up to the U.N. vote, Abbas signaled that he wants recognition to give him leverage in future talks with Israel, and not as a tool for confronting or delegitimizing Israel, as Israeli leaders have alleged.
Associated Press writers Robert Burns and Bradley Klapper in Washington, Tia Goldenberg in Jerusalem and Mohammed Daraghmeh and Karin Laub in Ramallah contributed.

"Beltway Beef" serves as a sounding board for the U.S. beef industry for decisions being made in Washington, D.C., that directly impact the cattle business. Posts on "Beltway Beef" are produced by the National Cattlemen's Beef Association staff and invited guests.
By NCBA President Bill Donald
One reward of ranch life in rural Montana is that after a hard-days' work, I get to fall asleep listening to the bawl of mama cows near the house. Iimagine farmers and ranchers across the nation can relate to that calming sound. While there are many sounds that come from farms and ranches, one thing we don't expect to hear is the sound of our farm equipment exploding outside our windows. Unfortunately, for the men and women who make their home at or near the Harris Ranch feedyard in Fresno County, Calif., that is no longer a foreign sound. This past Sunday night, they were awaken to the sound of 14 cattle trucks exploding and burning near the feed yard. I thank God that no person and no animals were injured in this senseless act. But make no mistake – this was a horrific act of terrorism against a fellow agricultural producer. Whoever is responsible – be it an individual or a group of people – they must be brought to justice and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. America's farmers and ranchers are some of the most honorable men and women around. We work seven days a week, 365 days a year regardless of weather extremes caring for our animals and our crops. We take pride in our chosen way of life because, after all, we're feeding and clothing the world. Opening Christmas presents or celebrating birthdays is often put on hold until after our animals are fed, watered and cared for – that's a fact for my family and for many others as well. That is why I was extremely alarmed to learn that animal rights extremists are taking credit for the Harris Ranch attack. How can anyone who claims to care about the health and safety of animals commit such an act that could very easily have harmed or killed many animals? Harris Ranch is working with the local Fresno County Sherriff's department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation to determine who committed this heinous crime. While there is no concrete evidence that an animal rights group is behind this arson, I sure hope everyone – including all animal-welfare organizations – will follow Harris Ranch's lead and cooperate during this investigation. It's the only right option. While farm and ranch life can sometime leave us a days' drive from the city, we're all aware of the horrific, cowardly acts of terrorists to inflict economic, physical, psychological and emotional harm and pain on victims. No one, farmers and ranchers included, should have to fear attacks against them, their family, their animals or their property. While we can all step up surveillance and take precautions on our farms and ranches, we should not have to live in fear. Terrorist acts have no place – not in America and not on farms and ranches. America's cattlemen and women stand with me and offer our support to Harris Ranch. We stand unified in our efforts to produce the safest, most wholesome and abundant food supply in the world. We owe it to ourselves, to our fellow agricultural producers and to the millions of people who purchase our products to feed their families to continue doing our jobs. We cannot stand by and allow crimes like these to stop us from caring for our animals.
By Kent Bacus, NCBA manager of legislative affairs If you're like me, you enjoy watching the History Channel and Discovery Channel. I enjoy learning about other cultures and civilizations and listening to experts discuss how mankind has advanced throughout the years and make predictions on what the future will hold. Lately, a theme has revolved around what will happen on Dec. 21, 2012. Many ancient cultures have predicted that some major, perhaps apocalyptic, event will happen on that day. Perhaps the ancient Mayans were a few days off. For the beef industry, our real concern is what will happen after Dec. 31, 2012. One of the most important issues facing family farmers and ranchers and small business owners nationwide is the future of the estate tax, more commonly referred to as the death tax. The death tax is one of the leading causes of the breakup of multi-generation family farms and ranches. At the time of the death, farming and ranching families are forced to sell off land, farm equipment, parts of the operation or the entire ranch to pay off tax liabilities on assets that have likely been taxed two or three times over the course of a lifetime. This outdated tax is not a tax on the wealthy. The wealthy can afford accountants and estate planners to help them evade the tax. The death tax hurts family-owned farms and ranches hardest. Unfortunately, this is not a new issue for farmers and ranchers. As you may recall, at the end of 2010, Congress and the White House agreed to a two year tax package that included temporary estate tax relief. For now, estates worth more than $5 million per individual or $10 million per couple are taxed at a 35 percent rate. The two-year estate tax package also reinstated stepped-up basis, indexes the estate tax exemption for inflation and contains a spousal transfer of any unused estate tax exemption amount. The tax package also included a two-year extension of 2001 and 2003 income tax rates for all income levels, set the capital gains tax rate at 15 percent for two years and included a two year patch for the alternative minimum tax. All of these issues must be addressed by the end of 2012. As Congress begins the second session of the 112th Congress, it's time, once again, to turn our attention to providing permanent relief from the death tax. If Congress fails to act by the end of this year, the estate tax will revert to a staggering $1 million exemption with a 55 percent tax rate. Increasing production costs, rising property values and an uncertain tax code make it difficult to form a business plan, much less plan for the future of your estate. We cannot afford for the estate tax to continue being a political football that is punted year after year. We need permanency in the tax code. As the oldest and largest national organization representing cattlemen, the National Cattlemen's Beef Association (NCBA) will work tirelessly seeking full and permanent estate tax relief. Members of Congress have already begun working on this issue. In fact, Congressman Kevin Brady (R-Texas) introduced the Death Tax Permanency Repeal Act and has support on his legislation from more than 190 bipartisan members of Congress. NCBA is a staunch supporter of Congressman Brady's legislation. If a full repeal is not achievable, NCBA supports making the 2010 estate tax package permanent. While there has been some discussion of movement toward comprehensive tax reform in both the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives, it is difficult to predict what Congress and the White House will do this year. One thing is certain, however, Congress and the White House need to hear from you about why we need permanency in the estate tax. They need to know that the estate tax is not a political football. They need to understand that there are no political points to be earned by punting this issue to a later day or by kneeling on the ball to run out the clock. Join us as we continue to fight for permanent estate tax relief. As we begin 2012, many of us are striving to keep those New Year's resolutions we announced to our friends and families as an attempt to improve ourselves physically, intellectually or financially. For the sake of all Americans, let us hope that one of the resolutions of Congress and the White House is providing permanent estate tax relief in 2012.

Purchasing DataThe City of Alexandria's GIS Division manages the City's vast and detailed geographic information database. The City recognizes that this information can be very useful to the public as well for many purposes and therefore publishes it semi-annually on DVD for a $100.00 fee* (the approximate cost to produce the disk). To fully utilize this information most users will need some GIS experience along with appropriate GIS software. As a convenience, the GIS Data DVD includes a free third-party viewer (ArcExplorer). Users without access to GIS software will need to determine if the viewer is suitable to meet their specific needs. One of the known limitations of the viewer is its inability to read the City's aerial photography in the compressed format in which it is provided (MrSID compression). The DVD includes a link to decompression software (Lizard Tech ExpressViewer Browser Plug-in ), but the process of decompressing can be time-consuming. Many needs can be addressed without purchasing the GIS Data DVD. Those who are interested in basic geographic information or maps of the City are encouraged to visit our Standard Maps page or our Interactive Maps page, where all of the City's most popular maps can be found. *Please note that as of January 5th 2009, the cost of the GIS Data DVD is $100.00. Purchaser must also pay a $2.00 postage fee if mailed (if picking up, no postage fee will be charged). To purchase by mail: Include a signed copy of the GIS USER AGREEMENT.

A THREAD in the PS Windows Forum got me to thinking, and also trying to remember details on past "easter eggs" in Adobe software. I recall the "big electric cat" from an earlier version of PS, and then something with the credits, maybe a party photo?, in about PS version 4, but then found one for PS CS 3, while doing research.
As Noel's thread was a tad tongue-in-cheek to begin with, I did not hesitate to comment, but then the easter egg thing sort of spun away. Before the poor MOD's have a fit, I thought that I would kind of move the topic over here, where it is better suited.
The above discussions have been around Photoshop, but I also attached a little line from the EncoreDVD 2.0 Splash Screen, so we know that PS is not the only Adobe program, that has some humor built in - either hidden, or just in often overlooked places.
Does anyone remember any other easter eggs in Adobe software?
This LINK (from the PS thread) has some that I did not know about.
That, and the Word 97 pinball.
There aren't much Adobe easter eggs that involve games, altough the old Flash 4~8 and Director 7 did have something similar. Unfortunately, the Flash one relied on an SWF hosted online and is no longer available now; and the Director one was interactive at best.

See how clever storage, fine materials, and surprising details make this space shine.
Martha did not want the cupboards to look like ordinary built-ins, so she designed a pair of long counters with marble tops; on one of them are glass-sided cabinets. They look so light and keep the area very airy in appearance.
Two islands offer seating and storage. An overhead steel rack keeps pots and pans reachable but out of the way.
Here is a view of two of the islands and the ovens behinds them, looking into the kitchen from the servery. It's where Martha sometimes has breakfast.
The office functions as a media center. There's a large-screen television for watching programs and DVDs, plus a computer, printer, and scanner for email, projects, research, and accessing recipes. Several small cubbies hold messages, paper, and supplies. At the desk, you'll also find telephones and a Sirius satellite radio.
A very well-used part of the kitchen is the cappuccino counter; there's the grand machine and two grinders -- for regular and decaffeinated beans -- for fresh grounds. On the machine, Italian cups stay warm, and everyday dishes and the like fill shelves.
Martha keeps a vintage juicer near the deep vegetable sink, where she rinses and preps produce. She has a few paper towel holders around the room, and old enamel brackets with milk-glass shelves hold kitchenware. The windows let in sunlight, which at times is tempered by translucent shades.
The small dining room can be accessed through the double doors in the servery. The space includes freezer drawers for storage, plus an ice maker and warming drawers for entertaining. Two dishwashers ease clean-up, and the marble floor can be vacuumed and washed with a damp mop. The wall color is matched to the cupboards, and the gentle, cool tones make a cohesive whole of many diverse features.

For 2013, the Ford Taurus receives a mild exterior freshening, with a new grille and headlight treatment, new wheel designs, and larger LED taillights. A new EcoBoost 2.0-liter turbocharged engine is offered, delivering V6-like performance and 32-mpg highway fuel economy. New features include an available heated steering wheel.
Not many domestics can go toe-to-toe with the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry, but over the last two decades Ford's Taurus has consistently been a big sales generator hot on the heels of its overseas competition. The Taurus name took a brief hiatus in 2007, but was quickly returned to the lineup last year. For 2009, the Taurus continues to offer consumers a roomy and safe full-size sedan, set to do battle with the likes of Honda Accord, Toyota Camry and Dodge Charger. With its fresh look and low entry-level price tag, the Taurus is better than it's ever been and worth a look for those seeking a sedan that can comfortably hold a family of five.

The capacity to be consoled is a consequential distinction between grief and depression.
—Kay Jamison, PhD, Nothing Was the Same
The relationship between grief and depression following recent bereavement has turned into one of the most contentious debates in psychiatry—and recently made front-page news in The New York Times.1 Much of the controversy has focused on whether the so-called bereavement exclusion (BE) in DSM-IV should be eliminated, as some have proposed, in DSM-5. My colleagues and I have discussed this in several different venues, and have argued that there is no convincing scientific or clinical basis for retaining the BE.
In contrast, several prominent clinicians and scholars have argued forcefully for retaining the BE [see references below]. The debates have sometimes shed more heat than light, with one group arguing that the BE confuses clinicians and interferes with the diagnosis and treatment of potentially serious depression (my position) and the other group insisting that eliminating the BE will "medicalize normal grief" and lead to overprescription of antidepressants. (For those who want to delve into the debate, please see the collegial exchange Dr Sidney Zisook and I had with Dr Michael B. First.2)
In the meantime, the average clinician may be wondering, "What am I supposed to do with my bereaved patients while the so-called experts are battling it out? How do I distinguish a normal grief reaction, after a loss, from a major depressive episode?"
As a small step toward addressing this conundrum, I have developed an assessment tool that I call the Post-Bereavement Phenomenology Inventory (PBPI). It is based on the premise that the DSM symptom checklists simply do not permit an in-depth understanding of the different "world views" represented by ordinary ("productive") grief and major depression.3-5 Thus, the term "phenomenology" is used in the philosophical sense, in reference to the subjective experience of the patient—in effect, the structure and contents of the patient's mental life.6
The PBPI represents neither a categorical nor a dimensional model of psychiatric evaluation; rather, it is an example of "prototype matching," an approach that has shown promise in the diagnosis of bipolar disorder.7,8 Although the PBPI is aimed primarily at assessing response to bereavement (the death of a loved one), it is my hope that it will also be of use after any major loss, such as divorce, job loss, or the break-up of an intimate relationship.
First, though, some caveats about the PBPI:
1. I offer this preliminary screening instrument without any claim that it has been validated in clinical studies, that it replaces a conventional "DSM" approach to diagnosis, or that it may be used in forensic assessments.
2. The PBPI is not intended as a substitute for a full psychiatric evaluation, including the use of validated screening instruments, such as the Beck Depression Inventory or other depression rating scales.
3. The PBPI is expected to be most useful when the results are combined with more empirical clinical findings in major depression, such as the absence or presence of early morning awakening, pronounced weight loss, visible psychomotor agitation or retardation, and diurnal mood variation.
4. The interpretation of patients' responses to the PBPI has not yet been quantified, and there is as yet no "scoring system" for the results. Eventually, the items on the PBPI may be converted to a 4- or 5-point Likert-type scale.
5. The PBPI is not directly "translatable" into a DSM or ICD diagnosis; rather, it is intended to raise (or lower) the clinician's index of suspicion that a bereaved patient may be experiencing a major depressive episode.
I am hoping that the PBPI will serve a heuristic purpose, in stimulating research on post-bereavement grief and depression. Indeed, the PBPI lends itself to many testable hypotheses and empirically falsifiable predictions. For example, I would hypothesize that patients who show a prominently "left-sided" profile of responses are more likely to represent cases of MDD, as determined by a complete diagnostic evaluation.
Further, I would hypothesize that patients with a strong left-sided profile would prove to be at a relatively higher risk for suicide, psychiatric hospitalization, and social-vocational impairment than patients with a prominent right-sided profile. In contrast, I would predict that those with a prominent right-sided profile would usually prove to be experiencing ordinary, or "productive," grief in response to a recent major loss.
On the basis of the premise that grief and major depression are distinct constructs (albeit with some overlapping symptoms5), I would expect that most bereaved patients will produce something close to an "en bloc" response profile; ie, either most of the left-sided or most of the right-sided responses will be checked off. However, human emotional responses are notoriously prone to defying our constructs!
It is certainly possible that some patients will produce a "mixed," or "left/right," response pattern. It is not clear what condition this would represent, although in theory, patients who are experiencing "complicated grief"5 (sometimes called "pathological grief") might produce such variegated responses. This is a question that will need to be settled with careful, empirical research.
It also seems plausible that a variety of biological, psychological, and social variables might cause a shift to the left or to the right, if the same patient were to complete the PBPI several times, over a period of weeks or months. For example, a bereaved person with several depressive symptoms who receives supportive counseling might show a shift to the right (toward ordinary, or productive, grief) in the course of grief-centered therapy.
Conversely, a bereaved patient whose grieving process is somehow thwarted or who is overwhelmed by a supervening major depressive episode might show a "shift to the left" when he is given serial PBPIs. Thus, sequential PBPIs might prove useful in the ongoing assessment of bereaved patients. From the standpoint of clinical management, however, clinicians should assume that left-sided responses "trump" right-sided ones. For example, any patient who checks off Item 8 ("persistent thoughts or impulses about ending my life") will require immediate and thorough clinical evaluation, regardless of whether he or she has checked off several items on the right.
Similarly, a pattern of "5,9,10" checked off on the left—suggesting feelings of worthlessness, anhedonia, and psychomotor retardation—ought to serve as a "red flag" for the clinician. A patient with a "left 5,9,10" pattern merits careful evaluation to rule out an MDD—even if he checks several responses on the right.
Clearly, the particular patterns of responses and their interpretation will require careful longitudinal studies of post-bereavement grief and depression. Ultimately, I would like to see these two profiles of responses correlated with such indices as number of psychiatric hospitalizations; frequency of suicide attempts; impairment in vocational function; and biomarkers of major depression, such as neuroendocrine and inflammatory responses.
Hence, I welcome feedback from clinicians who might wish to use the PBPI as part of a research study of post-bereavement grief or depression, and I place no restrictions on its professional use. (However, it is not intended as a "self-screening" instrument, and those experiencing pronounced depressive symptoms should, as always, be guided by a thorough professional evaluation.)
It is my hope that the PBPI may point the clinician toward the need for further clinical assessment—and will perhaps provide a deeper understanding of the bereaved patient's "inner world" than that obtained from symptom checklists.
Acknowledgment—I would like to thank Sidney Zisook, MD, and M. Katherine Shear, MD, for their helpful comments on an earlier draft of this scale, and for their seminal contributions to this area of research.
