TC-Helicon VoiceLive Play GTX
Guitar and vox in one stompbox
Do you sing and play guitar at the same time? If so, TC-Helicon thinks it has exactly what you need in the new VoiceLive Play GTX: a floor pedal that provides effects for both guitar and voice.
"The new VoiceLive GTX version adds guitar effects and amp simulation to the mix"
Building on the strengths of the VoiceLive Play unit, which has been available to singers for some time, the new GTX version adds guitar effects and amp simulation to the mix.
The unit is preset-based, featuring over 200 editable presets for vocals and guitar that are inspired by particular songs and artists, the vocal effects ranging from basic reverb, compression and EQ to more complex double-tracking, backing harmonies and those ubiquitous Auto-Tune-style effects, robot voices and the like. There are rear-panel inputs for a microphone and guitar, with stereo XLR outputs to go direct to a PA.
The vocal effects that rely on pitch shifting to create harmonies can take their pitch detection from your guitar playing. If you want your guitar to work in that role while using your own amp and effects, the unit has a Thru jack to send the guitar signal to an amp at the same time as disabling the onboard guitar processing.
Among several other features are some useful practice aids, namely a headphone output and aux input that let you play and sing along to songs from, say, an mp3 player, with a voice-cancel feature to sit your own vocals in the mix. There's also the VLoop performance looper, which allows you to loop your vocals, guitar, or both at the same time.
A pair of footswitches scroll up and down through the presets, while the third Hit switch adds additional effects to each preset for more intensity. A typical use would be adding harmonies to a song's chorus, for example. When held, the Hit footswitch also functions as a vocal effects bypass, to be used specifically for making announcements between songs, as it also mutes the guitar and brings a tuner up on the display.
"TC-Helicon specialises in vocal effects, and there's an excellent selection that all work really well"
TC-Helicon specialises in vocal effects, and there's an excellent selection here that all work really well - with easily edited programs built from up to eight effects blocks. The twin harmonies, set at a sensible level to accompany the main vocal, are a very nice touch, intelligently tracking your guitar playing.
The guitar effects cover a fair range of sounds, the presets dialling in very usable complete tones for songs that will be familiar to all guitarists. Up to three effects - a modulation effect, delay and reverb - can be combined with a range of AmpTones amp simulations, which each feature adjustable parameters including drive, compression and three-band EQ. A variety of amps are featured, including models of Fender, Marshall, Hiwatt and Mesa/Boogie, plus a handy acoustic guitar setting.
When it comes to editing the guitar sound, you start with 41 factory guitar styles, each having a different combination of AmpTone and effects, but you can get in and tweak a range of parameters for each. However, there's no facility for changing the guitar sound during a song, unless you save different guitar sounds to adjacent presets that also have the vocal sound you need.
Despite the GTX suffix, the VoiceLive Play GTX is still all about vocal effects, with the guitar playing second fiddle. If you want vocal effects, it's a nice compact unit that's solidly built for any stage and also does effects extremely well, as well as keeping them in the right key thanks to the way it tracks your guitar playing.
As for the guitar processing part, although the VoiceLive Play GTX has a nice range of sounds, it's probably fair to describe it as rudimentary, in so far as you can only change sounds within a song by changing presets. That said, the extra £80 over the basic vocal-only version is not a bad price to pay for access to these guitar sounds.
The unit is tailor made for the guitar and vocal performer who doesn't want to take an amp to gigs and is happy to go straight into the PA. In fact, with an ample range of onboard sounds for a massive repertoire of songs, the VoiceLive Play GTX is just about perfect for anyone doing a solo covers gig.

Benton, AR 72015
The Saline County Detention Center was opened on January 7, 2007. The facility went from holding 50 inmates, which was located underneath the Saline County Court House, to a facility that holds 234 inmates. The new building also has the capability to have additional sections added on to hold more inmates in the future.
The Saline County Detention Center has a total of 46 employees. These employees are led by a Lieutenant, Administrative Sergeant, Training Sergeant, and Transport Sergeant. Each Detention Shift has a Corporal and six Detention Officers. The transport Division is made up of one Corporal and three Transport Officers. There is also at the facility, 2 Kitchen Managers, 1 Infirmary Officers, and 2 Booking Coordinators. All personnel attend Jail Standards Training Class, ACIC Classes, and any other classes necessary for training purposes.
The Saline County Detention Center has a "trustee" and "309" program. The trustee program allows non-violent misdemeanor offenders to work either inside the jail, assigned to kitchen or cleaning duties, or outside the jail assigned to work with the road crew or maintenance department.
The 309 program allows inmates who are in the Arkansas Department of Corrections doing prison time, to fill out an application to become a 309. If they get approved they get assigned to different county facilities to work and possibly finish the rest of their sentence. We have four 309's who are currently working at this time. Each is assigned to specific areas of work here at the jail. Currently we have one working in the laundry department, one working in the maintenance department, and two working in the kitchen.
The facility has four infirmary cells for inmates who are sick or need medical observation.
The Booking area of the facility has five holding cells, which hold multiple inmates, waiting to be processed.
The facility is currently holding an average of 120 inmates per day.

UNCERTAINTY still surrounds the identity of the man, believed to be a Namibian, who was brutally murdered in a Cape Town township this week after a tyre filled with paraffin was placed around his neck and set alight. The Namibian Police yesterday said they were still awaiting official confirmation on whether the man, who has only been identified as 33-year-old 'Joseph', was Angolan or Namibian.
"We are awaiting confirmation on cases said to be involving Namibians from Algeria, Dubai and South Africa.
"Yes, we are aware of internet reports stating the man killed in South Africa is Namibian or Angolan but at the moment, we cannot confirm anything," said Namibain Police spokesperson Edwin Kanguatjivi.
The Western Cape News reported on Tuesday that 'Joseph' was beaten before being 'necklaced' by residents of Siyahlala informal settlement after he was caught trying to burn down a shack. 'Joseph' was reportedly a shebeen owner.

Ok so as most of you probably know I have been in Japan since early August. I have been sorta blogging about my guilty gear tournament experiences and whatnot on the chicago thread on SRK, people have been asking me to make an official blog, so now that I did I figured I might as well let everyone else see it. As of now all content is posts moved from SRK chicago thread, blog will most likely be updated every week. Enjoy

I wish America had hardcore arcades like in Japan. They get so much more serious competition it's ridiculous, you can just walk into a random arcade and probably play someone at least decent. I've heard even there scrubs can kick most American players' asses. I'm so gonna go to Japan and hit up as many arcades as I can. If anything, I can learn stuff while getting beat into the ground... Keep up the blog man.

Sorry for you not being able to get picked during the last chance qualifiers. My randomly assembled team got picked and I put up a very bad fight myself. Wished I could play more games with you but all the godly players at Ikebukuro GIGO were too appealing for me to pass up on. And I didn't get any chance to play with Marn, since I had no means of contact with him during SBO period in Japan then.

Can't stop reading. Great stuff. I guess our arcade base isn't all that strong anymore. The arcade vibe died out along time ago. Basically, all the WoW players and how serious they are about that game is equivalent to Japan and their arcade scene.

ATLANTA (AP) -- An Atlanta attorney has been named president and chief operating officer of the firm in charge of building and operating the national College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta.
John Stephenson has been named to head Atlanta Hall Management, Inc., a nonprofit responsible for the project.
Stephenson attended the University of Georgia School of Law and has worked as a corporate attorney since 2007.
In late January construction began on the more than 94,000 square-foot, $66.5 million facility, which is slated to open in 2014.
The College Football Hall of Fame was located in South Bend, Ind., near the campus of Notre Dame, for 17 years. It closed last year. Organizers expect the new site to generate $11.8 million in annual retail and ticket sales.

Occupy Wall Street Releases Totally Reasonable Demands

You are currently browsing comments. If you would like to return to the full story, you can read the full entry here: "Occupy Wall Street Releases Totally Reasonable Demands".
Dear OWS, Let me be clear,
Despite his profound incompetence on many levels, Obama has been an adept propagandist who has blamed capitalism for problems caused and magnified by socialist remedies to justify further socialist solutions. He's now doing the same thing all over again as his new socialist solutions are failing.
Obama not only eschews responsibility for his primary role in the nation's economic and debt catastrophes but also is using class warfare to foment unrest in his malcontent leftist base and marshaling union thug muscle to attach a veneer of authenticity to Occupy Wall Street, a largely AstroTurf-like phenomenon. Indeed, Obama practically expressed common cause with the protesters at his recent presser and certainly did nothing to calm their ostensible fears.
To appreciate the surreal nature of Occupy Wall Street, you have to watch a few video interviews of some of the protesters and review a laundry list of their complaints. These misguided people are like probation violators castigating their probation officers for catering to their pleas for leniency.
They are taking up all the popular causes of liberalism as they protest against problems spawned by those very causes. They shake their fists at Wall Street, banks, corporations and the wealthy "1 percent," which had little to do with our national nightmare. But they give a complete pass to government and even demand that it be given more power to further destroy what still does work in America.
Nothing illustrates their collective cluelessness more than their fulminating against the national debt while demanding a redoubling of the policies and programs that caused it and will make it immeasurably worse.
Obama is laughing all the way to the evil bank, hoping he can continue to capitalize on this very type of chaos and class envy to eke out re-election in 2012. Obama's protesters are occupying Wall Street while he is occupying America.
The blog is misleading. The site clearly says:
"Admin note: This is not an official list of demands. This is a forum post submitted by a single user and hyped by irresponsible news/commentary agencies like Fox News and Mises.org. This content was not published by the OccupyWallSt.org collective, nor was it ever proposed or agreed to on a consensus basis with the NYC General Assembly. There is NO official list of demands."
See http://occupywallst.org/forum/proposed-list-of-demands-for-occupy-wall-st-moveme/
Clearly you need more information. Check out the Mothership.
There is no better single source of info on OWS anywhere. Frankly, for many reasons Google is nowhere as good a resource… as is this resource.
Kira go take in a occupy protest at a location near you. On only DAY 20 of this protest there are now 885 protest events planned around the globe.
You can look for a meet-up here:
or a facebook Occupy event or group page here:
Your stream-of-straw-man comment about protesters whom you don't know is fact-free. It's not worth more than ranting rhetorical conjecture. Look, I stopped working for other people more than 10 years ago having owned several corporations operating businesses. I know what being responsible for making payroll every month is. I paid for my college into grad school using the military educational benefits I earned. I'm not whining. I'm not mad at you either. (That's all your twisted fantasy.) I am however, giving back to my community, as a protester and supporter of the Occupy movement. Your ignorance about the demographics of this movement is self-evident. You've watched too many mainstream news clips. Go get your broken compass fixed. It's not your fault. Your FOXed-up news entertainment channel or whatever your navigation system is – its led you far off course.
If I may, I am seeing a very ill informed news media out there. For example, Their list of demands ACTUALLY include the following: (let us remember, these kids are fresh out of college with degrees in economics, and no way of paying their student loans. Not just a bunch of stoners like the old days. times have changed.
Thank you for allowing me this say.
1-INVESTIGATE, ARREST AND TRY THE WALL STREET CRIMINALS (Is bundling toxic debt into "AAA" status loans and leaving entire economies in ruin, illegal? one of many examples.
2-CONGRESS ENACT LEGISLATION TO PROTECT OUR DEMOCRACY BY REVERSING THE EFFECTS OF THE CITIZENS UNITED SUPREME COURT DECISION -(we really do need to get BIG MONEY out of our government from the top down, even Warren Buffett says that.
3-ACTION ON GLASS-STEAGALL http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass–Steagall_Act — Wiki entry summary: The repeal of provisions of the Glass–Steagall Act of 1933 by the Gramm–Leach–Bliley Act effectively removed the separation that previously existed between investment banking which issued securities and commercial banks which accepted deposits. The deregulation also removed conflict of interest prohibitions between investment bankers serving as officers of commercial banks. Most economists believe this repeal directly contributed to the severity of the Financial crisis of 2007–2011 by allowing Wall Street investment banking firms to gamble with their depositors' money that was held in commercial banks owned or created by the investment firms.
4-CONGRESS PASS THE BUFFETT RULE ON FAIR TAXATION SO THE RICH AND CORPORATIONS PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE & CLOSE CORPORATE TAX LOOP HOLES INCLUDING PROHIBITION ON HIDING FUNDS OFF SHORE. Pass the Buffet Rule on fair taxation so the rich pay their fair share.
7- CONGRESS ENACT SPECIFIC LAWS THAT EFFECTIVELY BUILD A WALL BETWEEN THE DEFENSE INDUSTRY AND THE U.S. MILITARY. If we're going after corruption and also trying to reduce all the unnecessary wars that are costly in so many ways (most importantly costly in terms of human life on both sides), then this is the GRANDDADDY OF ALL REFORMS. Any of you who have seen the award winning widely popular documentary "Why We Fight" will realize the HUGE impact of this. Here's a snippet of Eisenhower's brave speech.
"In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the militaryindustrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together."
Like I said, the news media is making them out to be a bunch of rag tag, bongo beating stoners, but I believe they are in many cases, VERY WELL EDUCATED. no way of paying off their student loans, and basically no future, and nearly everyone reading this knows this to be true.
Good night,
This is not a list of demands by or representing the "occupy wall street crowd". It is a proposed list of demands someone posted to their website. At most you could say this was laundry list by one person.
It seems to be a result of the occupy wall street website and movement not being very concerned about censoring input even when it may involve venting, brainstorming, ironical expression, or whatever this list of supposed "demands" was intended to express.
You may be doing yourself a disservice by inventing a straw man and framing it like the last word rather than trying to understand and report on reality. If you ever desire to leave this conservative cocoon to perform a useful a job as a real writer or reporter, get real.
The occupiers work through a democratic process. There is no "spokesperson" authorized to speak on behalf of the occupiers without approval of a general assembly. The comment in the demands, "And I don't mean debt that is in default, I mean all debt on the entire planet period." suggests that the author of this article has decided to provide some individual's demands. Why the author might do that… is for you to think about. From my perspective, that comment suggests the article's author is less than diligent in sourcing information. Your call unless the author now cares to clarify what the information source is. (?)
Yes. Please try do something about making some representation about your source. (?) That would seem at least… nominally prudent? No? Unless of course around here it's the case one need not bother with the little details… like for example, facts!…. or identifying some source of information, for example. Seems everything around this site exists as conjecture, rhetorical crap that feeds into larger "mysteriously informed truth" (as this article demonstrates) propaganda messaging generally. Would it be too outrageous to ask that, as a practice, you'd provide some source? Golly, big thanks.
Seriously? Surely this must be a joke…

Perfect for tapas and appetizer plates, these assorted Spanish olives are great for parties, catered events, and food service. Manzanilla, Cracked Caspe-Moron, Black Empletre, and Arbequina olives make up this mix jarred in brine.
Manzanilla olives from Andalucia, also known as Spanish olives, are small to medium in size and are greenish brown in color with a firm, meaty texture and slight almond taste. They are often used in antipasti platters and are sometimes added to cooked dishes like arroz con pollo. Manzanilla Olives contain many minerals and vitamins; especially carotenes, and also contain a lot of fiber.
Cracked Caspe-Moron olives are cultivated in the Caspe region of Aragon, near the Ebro Valley. Heart-shaped, they have a very distinct flavor, and are pleasant to the palate. Caspe-Moron or Broken olives are cracked before they are cured for 3-4 months to help tenderize them and bring out their full olive flavor.
Black Empeltre Olives are picked ripe and cured for 12-14 months. They have a high nutritional value in unsaturated fats and a good deal of fiber. They have a very sweet taste that makes them irresistible. These Romanico Empeltre Black Olives are harvested in the border region between Catalunya and Aragon.
Arbequina olives are probably the smallest variety of olives in the world. They are hand picked and only the best fruits are selected for table use. Arbequina olives are deal for a snack, appetizer, or salads.
The only ingredients Romanico uses for their olive mix are olives, water, salt, and Mediterranean herbs, like fennel. They are 100% natural, containing no preservatives or artificial flavors.
Each 1 gallon jar contains approximately 5.5 lbs. of Romanico Assorted Spanish Olives from Spain.

Chris Brown Sentencing Gets Postponed
LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) — A California judge on Wednesday postponed the sentencing of singer Chris Brown for the assault of Rihanna, the singer with whom Brown has had a romantic relationship.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Patricia Schnegg was expected to impose five years of probation and about 1,400 hours in "labor-oriented service." However, Schnegg said documents detailing his proposed community service plan in Virginia, where Brown maintains a legal residence and wants to serve his sentence, had not arrived in time for her to approve them for sentencing.
Schnegg has said Brown could apply to have his supervised probation transferred to Virginia and complete his community service there, but it would have to meet the court's standards.
Rihanna did not attend Wednesday hearing. Brown, wearing a dark business suit, entered the court with his attorney, Mark Geragos.
"My client is doing great, she is hard at work," Rihanna's attorney, Donald Etra, said after the brief hearing.
"We were obviously hoping all proceedings would be concluded today," he added.
Sources say the proceeding were also postponed due to Rihanna's insistence of having the restraining order removed.
I genuiely think he made a mistake, a huge mistake! But these two need to be careful and think this through if they're gonna resume their relationship! The judge should of order the two to seek couple's counseling cause their gonna need it.

Summoned Monsters Galore
We just started a 3E campaign--- In the first session there was 3 monsters summoned. In lots of years of D&D, I hardly remember any summoned monsters.
Are others noticing the increased use of Summon Monster?
Is it a pain for the DM?- monster stats and all that."I was so mad I went home and read the rules."

Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors (MAOIs) for Depression
Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors (MAOIs) for Depression
|Generic Name
|Brand Name
|phenelzine sulfate
|tranylcypromine sulfate
Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) are older antidepressants (first-generation). They generally have more side effects than newer (second-generation) antidepressants such as serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and other second-generation antidepressants such as bupropion (Wellbutrin XL, Wellbutrin SR) and duloxetine (Cymbalta).
How It Works
These medicines balance certain brain chemicals called neurotransmitters by reducing the amount of monoamine oxidase, the substance that breaks down the neurotransmitters. This helps make the symptoms of depression better.
Why It Is Used
Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) are usually given to people who have depression and who:
- Did not get better with other antidepressants.
- Cannot tolerate the side effects of other antidepressants.
- Have a family or personal history of successful treatment with MAOIs.
- Have unusual symptoms of depression, such as weight gain and sleeping more.
MAOIs usually are not the first medicines given for depression, because they have serious side effects when combined with certain foods and/or medicines.
MAOIs are not recommended for children or teens.
How Well It Works
Current research suggests that MAOIs may work as well as other antidepressants in treating severe depression. They may work better than other antidepressants in those who have depression with uncommon symptoms, such as sleeping and eating too much and being overly sensitive to rejection.
Side Effects
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
- Usually the benefits of the medicine are more important than any minor side effects.
- Side effects may go away after you take the medicine for a while.
- If side effects still bother you and you wonder if you should keep taking the medicine, call your doctor. He or she may be able to lower your dose or change your medicine. Do not suddenly quit taking your medicine unless your doctor tells you to.
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if you have:
- Trouble breathing.
- Swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Call your doctor right away if you have:
- Hives.
- Chest pains.
- Fast or slow heartbeat.
- Severe headache.
- Stiff neck.
- Nausea or vomiting.
Common side effects of this medicine include:
- Dizziness or light-headedness.
- High blood pressure.
- Appetite changes or weight gain.
- Loss of sexual desire or ability.
- Muscle twitching during sleep.
Serious reactions—or even death—can result when MAOIs are combined with some foods and medicines. While taking MAOIs, you must avoid eating certain foods, such as some cheeses, broad beans such as fava beans, pickled foods such as sauerkraut, beer, and red wine. Eating these foods can cause severe high blood pressure and other health problems. Talk with your doctor about diet and medicine restrictions you need to follow if you are planning to take an MAOI.
You must wait at least 14 days after you stop taking MAOIs before taking another antidepressant. Common non-prescription medicines, particularly certain cold remedies and diet pills, can also be dangerous when taken with an MAOI.
MAOIs can cause death if they are taken in overdose.
Health Canada and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have issued advisories on antidepressant medicines and the risk of suicide. Talk with your doctor about these possible side effects and the warning signs of suicide.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
Taking medicine
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.

CANTON — Taylor Vargo stood, dazed, in a field of photographers as the finalists were summoned. Her name was called last, and she had the highest climb up the podium.
"And finishing in first place in the 100 breaststroke," the voice boomed over the loudspeaker, "a freshman from Sandusky, with a time of 1:04.61 … Taylor Vargo."
The freshman became Sandusky's first female swim champion ever and the first Blue Streak at the summit of the podium in more than a half century.
"I just kind of pushed myself to the limit, to see where I could go," she said.
Not where, but how quickly.
Taylor crouched on the block, the top returning finisher three lanes to her left. She sprang from the platform, drifting toward the rope to her right. She was the last of the eight swimmers to breach the surface after her first turn.
Sandusky coach Tommy Patterson wasn't worried.
"I saw her split at the 50, and she was faster today than she was yesterday. The longer she goes, the better she gets," he said.
"At the 50, I knew that it was over."
Taylor completed her final turn, taking an elbow-length lead over her nearest competitor. She tapped the wall and looked up at the scoreboard.
She saw the results in 12-inch fluorescent numerals.
Taylor floated gently with her hand on the rope, staring at the board, smiling broadly.
"I actually didn't expect to win," she said. "I was just going to do my best. I knew I had to stay positive to do my best and try to win."
Taylor also secured a 15th-place finish in 1:55.31 in the 200-yard freestyle, the first individual event of the day.
Her teammate, Gus Everson, earned two top-10 finishes at the meet.
"This year was way better than last year at state," the Sandusky senior said. "It was a great way to head out of high school."
He took second in the consolation heat of the 50 freestyle in 21.51 seconds, good for 10th place overall.
"It's not exactly my best time, but it's good," Everson said. "I'll take second in my heat."
Everson capped his prep swimming career with a season-best 46.34 in the 100 freestyle, winning the consolation heat. He finished with the fifth-best time overall, including the championship heat, but earned ninth. The swimmers in the championship heat are guaranteed the top eight places.
"That was all I wanted," he said. "This isn't the fastest pool ever. I'm happy with the consolation heat."
Everson made it to the state meet his junior year, when he earned a 16th-place finish in the 100 free (47.60). He missed the championship finals in the 50 free last season at that meet.
Patterson noted Everson didn't make it out of the sectional meet when he was a freshman. Three years later, Everson earned two top-10 finishes.
"With Taylor and Gus, it just shows that we're doing things the right way at Sandusky," Patterson said. "They're both straight-A students, and she's a state champ. I don't know how many kids around the state can say that, but (Taylor) can."
Before the meet, Patterson said Sandusky's sole team goal was to swim well, regardless of time and finish. He came to Canton with two swimmers each competing in two events. The Blue Streaks travel back to Sandusky with four top-15 finishes, including one gold medal.
"You see the people on TV, where good things happen to them," Patterson said, trailing off in thought. "You don't know what to do until it's you.
"Everything went our way this week for everybody. That's all you can ask for."

Sometimes it's really nice just to surf the web for vintage baby items. It makes me feel appreciative of all the baby things galore we have around these days. Mostly because the safety seems to have improved on baby products. I will admit though, I love peering at these gorgeous items. The details are magnificent. The designs are ingenious. We LOVE all things vintage here at flower child =)

A Candle in Darkness: APA Handbooks
A couple of events this past month have me thinking about mental health treatment in this country.
I am among the legions of fans who admired Robin Williams, and also like many others, I am struggling to understand how someone that funny, smart, successful, and loved could choose to reject his life. Williams was open about his problems, and he did the right things to get help — and yet, in the end, it wasn't enough.
I was also privileged to hear Jane Pauley as the keynote speaker of APA's annual convention in DC. Pauley — once described as "the sanest person in television" — talked about her own hospitalization and her surprise at being diagnosed with bipolar disorder at 50. She also did the right things; she entered talk therapy and starts each day with medication. Together, for now anyway, those elements keep her in balance.
Those two very public lives highlight different possible outcomes of treatment and show clearly how important it is that people get not just treatment but the right treatment for them.
It is imperative that clinicians stay abreast of current research on treatment, and one recent addition to the PsycBOOKS® database that can help is the APA Handbooks in Psychology® Series. These reference books provide both overviews and in-depth analyses of a variety of subfields within psychology.
For example, one of Williams recurring problems was his long fight with addiction. A clinician could turn to the two-volume APA Addiction Syndrome Handbook (Shaffer, 2012) to find current information from leading experts to help someone like Williams with addiction problems. There is information on diagnosis and assessment, addiction treatment, relapse and relapse prevention and psychotherapies for addiction.
Both Williams and Pauley had encountered issues with depression — along with about 15 million of the rest of us, according to the National Institute of Mental Health. Not surprisingly, information about depression is salted throughout the handbooks. Among those with relevant content, the APA Handbook of Multicultural Psychology (Leong et al., 2014) provides extensive information on treatment among different populations that include ethnic and religious groups. It also contains a chapter "Depression in Multicultural Populations" in the Applications and Training volume.
The APA Handbook of Testing and Assessment in Psychology is the richest source of material, with multiple chapters in the Testing and Assessment in Clinical and Counseling Psychology volume that address depression measurement, testing, methodology, and test interpretation.
The APA Handbook of Psychology, Religion, and Spirituality (Pargament, Mahoney, & Shafranske, 2014) is another source that addresses depression in multiple chapters, including a chapter "Religion, Spirituality, Depression, and Anxiety: Theory, Research, and Practice."
To replicate the search, limit to the PsycBOOKS database and limit by Handbook/Manual. I searched by "APA Handbooks in Psychology" in the title and searched by "Addiction" and "Depression" in any field.
Would different treatment have made a difference in Robin's case? Who knows. Comedy is often the ability to see pain objectively — and he was a very funny man. May he be at peace.

Getting the Most From Your APA PsycNET Subscription: Facets and Alerts
There are many situations in this great world of ours for which we agree that the process is tremendously important to outcome. Learning to play the violin is integral to performing in a symphony, and most of us feel that falling in love is an important step toward marriage.
In other areas, this is not so true. Most of us would happily skip a commute in stop-and-go traffic to arrive at work, and few of us care about the "art" of crafting a database search in order to tease out the desired results. We want to get results accurately and efficiently — and, even better, seamlessly — without bogging down in the process of having to learn all the ins and outs of a complex platform and database.
The good news is that APA PsycNET® provides ways to do just that. And those methods are right out in plain sight.
Here's an example:
APA early career member and recently licensed clinician Jane Researcher wants to develop her skills and stay current on new therapy and treatment effects. She has subscribed to APA PsycNET Gold, and she sits down to run her first search. Like many a novice searcher, she does not choose any specific database or field. In a hurry and mystified by all the hyperlinks, checkboxes, and drop-down menus that adorn the face of the platform, she just types in "Therapists and Evidence-Based Practice."
When Jane looks at her results, she is discouraged to see a mass of more than 1,100 results. However, she also notices something: To the left of her screen in a colored box is a column of hyperlinks with numbers attached. Clicking on any of those links, she finds the number references the number of records in her result set that have been indexed with that information.
What Jane has just found are facets, and here at a glance are the most frequently indexed entries for this set of results.
Looking down the list of 11 categories, Jane sees she can instantly filter her results in all sorts of useful ways. For example, she is able to find appropriate Index Terms without accessing the Thesaurus, see which authors have published most frequently on this topic, limit findings by numerous different methodologies, and see what publications are the best source for this kind of content.
Jane hadn't even known there was such a thing as a Classification Code, but now she discovers that she can limit her results to those identified as being specifically for Professional Education & Training (Code 3410) with one click.
Jane starts happily clicking. She filters her results by both Classification Code 3410 and the Index Term "Therapists," and — voila — she's gone from an unmanageable set of results to 33 with just two clicks.
Buoyed by that discovery, she now also notices the tabs at the top that break the results into their component databases.
By clicking those options, she finds that PsycBOOKS® includes a recently published book (2014) called On Becoming a Better Therapist: Evidence-Based Practice One Client at a Time. She scans the chapter abstracts and sees that this seems to be just the kind of content she was hoping to find.
Next, she notices that there is a row of options above her results that allows her to either save them to her computer or add them to My List and save them within PsycNET itself for later perusal.
But that's not all. Now that she is really looking, she notices other tools on the results page to make her job easier.
At the top of the page but below the row of tabs that shows the database breakdown, she sees links that allow her to actually save the new search that she has created with the facets. Next time she wants to run that, she just clicks on the tab My PsycNET at the far right of the platform, and she finds it saved for her to either tinker with by editing or run as is.
Last and best of all, Jane discovers an additional action she can take that changes the whole nature of her research. She notices there are links that allow her to set an alert that notifies her when new records are added to the database. By taking that one additional step and using the Set Email Alert or Get RSS Feed link, she has changed her PsycNET subscription from a passive tool to an active agent — her own ever-vigilant research assistant! She has made the search seamless.
Enjoy your subscription. And as you get to know PsycNET, we hope you find its many useful "Easter Eggs" — many hidden right out in plain sight.

Booleans: The Power of No
All things are defined in part by what they are not. What is darkness unless juxtaposed to light, cold to warmth, silence to sound? For most, there's no hard clear line where one thing stops and another begins. Ideas and language can be particularly challenging, with meanings slippery and sometimes almost impossible to isolate or pin down.
However, let us leave the meaning of being and nothingness to the deconstructionists and focus on the very pragmatic aspect of how to disentangle these comingled results from an indexed database. It can be difficult to tease search criteria from among the various research contexts in which they are indexed. How can we as researchers craft our searches to return the results we do want and carve out the "noise" that we don't?
For APA PsycNET users, we can do that by becoming comfortable with the very powerful Not Boolean, which excludes records from retrieval. Let me share a fairly simple example that came my way not long ago from a researcher who asked for some help crafting a search. What he wanted to find was research in PsycINFO that was specifically about adolescent girls and math.
Because he knew a thing or two about databases, he had very sensibly crafted a search in which he searched for math* (with an asterisk to capture all variations of the word) as a keyword and used the age limiter to specify that the results would need to include participants between the ages of 13 and 17 and the population limited to female participants. But the results he got were not what he expected. To begin with, he got about 2,000 results, more than he had expected or could easily work with. And when he looked more closely at the records returned, he found that a lot of them were not what he was looking for at all.
True, all his results did contain the limits he'd specified, and that is certainly important. But looking within the records, he found research that had included preschool children and college age kids, even research on the very old struggling with dementia. And while the results had all included female populations, many of them included male populations as well and did not make distinctions between the genders. Thus, although the results included his desired group, they weren't limited by it.
Clearly, a step is missing in this search. To correctly focus the results, it's not enough to stipulate what you do want. You may want to take the additional step of excluding what you don't want. So let's take our original search and add two additional criteria: the age will be only 13 to 17, and we'll use the Boolean Not to eliminate all of the other age groups. Likewise, we will exclude males from our result set.
Our new result set includes 91 records, and a quick look at our result set shows that it looks much more promising. Now we can focus on other attributes of the set as a whole that might not fit into our search. For example, in this fresh set of results, we find quite a few dissertations and conference papers on our topic.
Useful as those sources can be, we don't really want them at this time. One way to remove them would be to select the "Peer reviewed journals only" checkbox. However, if we do that, we also lose some other content we might want, such as book chapters. Here again the Not Boolean allows us to cut with a scalpel instead of an ax. Instead of restricting our results to peer-reviewed journals, let's just remove the results we don't want. In the Document type category, we can remove conference abstracts and dissertations from our findings.
Now if we look at our findings, we have a set of 62 results, all of which are focused on adolescent girls and their relationship to mathematics.
So remember, like the old Bing Crosby song used to say: you've got to latch on to the affirmative and eliminate the negative. That will give you the specific results you're looking for.
Here's our final search:
Search For:
Keywords: math* AND Age Group: Adolescence (13 to 17 yrs) AND Population Group: Female AND NOT Age Group: Childhood (birth to 12 yrs) OR Neonatal (birth to 1 mo) OR Infancy (2 to 23 mo) OR Preschool Age (2 to 5 yrs) OR School Age (6 to 12 yrs) OR Adulthood (18 yrs & older) OR Young Adulthood (18 to 29 yrs) OR Thirties (30 to 39 yrs) OR Middle Age (40 to 64 yrs) OR Aged (65 yrs & older) OR Very Old (85 yrs & older) AND NOT Population Group: Male AND NOT Document Type: Abstract Collection OR Dissertation

APA Databases Capture a Lifetime of Research
Fans of Isaac Asimov often point to his work's inclusion in nine of 10 major Dewey decimal classifications (and he should have been in the tenth, philosophy). Astonishingly, Asimov's writings span the spectrum of human knowledge. Although APA's databases don't claim to cover all subjects, they do cover far more than "just" psychology — they include the whole strutting stage of human behavior — covered through many academic sources in seven databases, each with its own focus.
There are some authors who, Asimov like, are so integral to the study of psychology that they can be found represented across our databases (e.g., Kazdin, Zimbardo, Bandura). Among that pantheon is Carol S. Dweck, whose work has bridged developmental psychology, social psychology, and personality psychology and who has examined the self-conceptions (or mindsets) people use to structure the self and guide their behavior.
Let us suppose you are a student interested in education. Few questions matter as much practically as what actually works to encourage young people to achieve their best potential, and Dweck's research is directly applicable to reaching that goal. What can we learn by looking for her work across databases?
Using the author lookup, I found four likely variations of Dweck's name in publications and added them to my search. A search at this point shows 157 results in all databases except for our streaming video database PsycTHERAPY. A quick glance at the facets for that set of results tells you a great deal about her work.
The most frequently appearing index term in her research is "motivation"; the author affiliations are topped by Stanford (where Dweck is the Lewis and Virginia Eaton Professor of Psychology), Columbia, University of Illinois, and Harvard. She has had 21 articles published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, and you can see that the bulk of her research has been with young people under the age of 17.
Dig a little deeper by looking at the citations to the individual results, and you'll see that she is heavily cited in the PsycINFO database, often with hundreds citing her work and in a few cases with thousands citing her. Thus, objective evidence indicates that she is an exceptionally authoritative author on the issues of children and motivation.
Let's take a slightly closer look at each of the databases.
In PsycTESTS, Dweck is one of the authors of the Math Sense of Belonging Scale (2012), which measures students' perceptions of their math environment and the idea that women have less innate ability than men in math. "Sense of belonging to math," and the message that success in math is an acquired rather than an innate trait, was found to protect women from negative stereotypes. Sense of belonging increased their likelihood of pursuing math in the future. The test is 30-items and measures how comfortable the student is in a math setting.
For PsycCRITIQUES, let's dip into the past, to 1989, when Dweck was teaching at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. She had begun her work in motivation, and thus she was a logical person to review a work like the Handbook of Motivation and Cognition: Foundations of Social Behavior (Sorrentino & Higgens, 1986). She summarized the work at that time as cutting edge: "It is unique as a handbook in that, rather than summarizing an existing body of knowledge, it attempts to define and shape an emerging field." Her field, as it happened.
Her authored entries in PsycEXTRA are a series of 11 conference presentations and abstracts that begin in 2002, when she was teaching at Columbia, and end with an abstract from the most recent APA convention. They show her research exploration of how and why young people act as they do in addition to ways mindsets and stereotypes may limit them.
In PsycBOOKS, Dweck contributed a chapter in the APA book Why Aren't More Women in Science?: Top Researchers Debate the Evidence . Her chapter, "Is Math a Gift? Beliefs That Put Females at Risk," (Ceci & Williams, 2007) explored a fascinating difference between high-IQ girls and high-IQ boys in the 5th grade. When confusion was introduced, the boys did much better than the girls, demonstrating not a difference in ability "but a difference in how students cope with experiences that may call their ability into question — whether they feel challenged by them or demoralized by them."
The 33 articles Dweck has published that appear in PsycARTICLES provide an in-depth look at her research. In addition to the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, her research has also appeared in Developmental Psychology, American Psychologist, and Psychological Review . One article, A Social-Cognitive Approach to Motivation and Personality, presented a research-based model of adaptive and maladaptive behavior that has been cited almost 2,200 (!) times.
Finally, to get the full sweep of Dweck's work, PsycINFO brings together a bibliographic record of her work, from a student at Yale in 1970 and her dissertation abstract in November 1972 to a publication last month in Basic and Applied Social Psychology. Almost 45 years of scholarship and counting.
Though few authors can match the overall corpus of work of Carol Dweck, many concentrate on the same major issues throughout their careers. The continuity of indexing and coverage provided in PsycINFO and APA's other research databases make it easy to find relevant authors and their work.

APA Database Synergy: Recent Help for an Expert Witness
APA's research databases can work together to provide you with a suite of information about a topic.
For example, consider a young psychology professor asked to testify as a defense expert witness on the fallibility of eyewitness identification in a sexual assault case. Although she has a doctorate in psychology and law and is confident of her command of the research, she is new to court testimony and would like practical advice on the behavior of decision makers and successful courtroom testimony. She has an APA PsycNET Gold individual subscription, and so has access to APA's core databases. She has little lead time, and so she needs information she knows is authoritative and she needs it quickly.
An index term search for "expert testimony" and "witnesses" limited to full text published in the past year yields 11 results across databases.
Knowing that PsycCRITIQUES is the place to turn for peer reviews of current works, she looks there first for guidance. Pay dirt! She finds a review of Testifying in Court: Guidelines and Maxims for the Expert Witness (2nd ed.; Brodsky, 2013) that is specifically on point. The reviewer, cognitive psychologist Curt Carlson, is a professor at Texas A&M University whose primary research area is recognition memory and decision making involved in eyewitness identification.
Carlson's review of Testifying in Court describes it as "a practical guide, a kind of do-it-yourself pamphlet on expert courtroom testimony." Our novice expert is pleased to note that there are chapters specifically on eyewitness testimony and how to deal with intimidation from cross-examining attorneys, and Carlson reviewed a couple of the expert witness techniques used in the book and attests to their usefulness from his own experience. He also noted some aspects of the book he found problematic, most notably the alphabetical ordering of chapters.
Overall, the recommendation is positive enough that our novice witness wants to read it, and read it as soon as possible. This is an APA-published work. Though it was published in 2013, within the past year, it is no longer under embargo, and PDFs of all chapters are available in her PsycBOOKS subscription. By going to the Book record in PsycBOOKS, she can access the Table of Contents of the book, review the abstract for each chapter, and go directly to any content she needs.
Among the many chapters that will be right on point for her are the following:
- Transformative Moments
- Vigorous Cross-Examinations and Vigorous Answers
- The Well-Dressed Witness
- Your Expertise Used Against You
To replicate the search, limit to full-text databases, PsycARTICLES, PsycBOOKS, PsycCRITIQUES, and PsycEXTRA, search for "expert testimony" and "witnesses" as index terms, and restrict the search to the past year.

Juventus had to rely on an equaliser from Mirko Vucinic to draw 1-1 with Cagliari as they failed to celebrate their Serie A title triumph with victory.
The Turin side had wrapped up their 29th Scudetto title last weekend with a narrow victory over Palermo and their next target was beating their own points record set in 2006 under Fabio Capello. However, today proved to be a damp squib as they were shocked by the visitors who took the lead through Victor Ibarbo after 12 minutes before Vucinic levelled after 61 minutes.
Juve were the first to show with Cagliari goalkeeper Michael Agazzi forced to save Arturo Vidal's 30-yard shot which was heading for the corner. Cagliari were ahead a minute later with a fine solo goal from Ibarbo who passed Claudio Marchisio and Andrea Barzagli before moving inside the box and scoring in the bottom left-hand corner.
Emanuele Giaccherini shot high and wide for the hosts before Radja Nainggolan sent an effort narrowly wide of the right post as the visitors took the game to the champions. Agazzi saved well in the bottom right-hand corner from Marchisio before Juve almost levelled when the goalkeeper was well beaten by Sebastian Giovinco's free-kick which smashed against the bar.
Juve had built up a head of steam with Alessandro Matri twice shooting over as they failed to pierce the visiting defence before half-time. Ibarbo shot over for Cagliari but Juve started the second half as they finished the first but they found Agazzi in inspired form.
An unmarked Giaccherini was denied by the keeper at his near post and he then blocked Matri's turn and shot before Vucinic fired over. However, Cagliari's resistance was ended with a little under half an hour remaining.
Marchisio crossed from the left was headed on by Vidal with Agazzi failing to take the catch and Vucinic tapping in. Marchisio then skimmed the post with a header and Mauricio Isla's drilled shot went narrowly over as Juve searched for the winner. Cagliari showed they were not a spent force when Nainggolan's right-footed shot from outside the box was only narrowly wide as the game finished in a draw.
Catania edge Pescara
In tonight's second Serie A match, Catania climbed into the top eight of the standings after beating already-relegated Pescara 1-0 with a second-half goal from Alejandro Gomez.
The Argentina winger struck the only goal of the game six minutes after half-time to help Catania move above stuttering Inter Milan in the table.
The Rosazzurri, who even before tonight's match had already picked up more points than in any previous top-flight campaign, bossed the first half but a mixture of poor finishing and good goalkeeping from Pescara's Mattia Perin keep the teams level.
