MONDAY, Dec. 6 (HealthDay News) -- People with depression who
also have psychotic-like symptoms, such as hearing voices or
believing others are plotting against them, are less likely to
respond to antidepressants, a new study finds.
It also found that bipolar disorder does not appear to be
associated with treatment resistance in patients with depression, a
finding that challenges the common theory that some cases of
difficult-to-treat depression are actually unrecognized bipolar
disorder, the researchers added.
They conducted the study to assess the link between bipolar
disorder and treatment outcomes among 4,041 patients with
depression. The patients first received the antidepressant
citalopram (Celexa), followed by up to three next-step treatments,
depending on their responses.
At the start of the study, 1,198 (30 percent) of the patients
said they had experienced at least one psychotic symptom -- such as
believing they had special powers or were being controlled or
plotted against -- in the previous six months. These patients were
significantly less likely to respond to treatment.
In addition, 1,524 patients (38.1 percent) said they had
experienced at least one symptom of bipolar disorder in the
previous six months. Of those symptoms, irritability was associated
with poor treatment outcomes.
But several indicators commonly associated with bipolar disorder
-- including history of manic symptoms and family history of the
condition -- were not associated with patient responses to
antidepressants, the researchers said.
The study was published online Dec. 6 in the
Archives of General Psychiatry.
"Considered as a whole, our results cast doubt on the frequent assertion that unrecognized bipolar disorder is widespread in clinical practice and particularly in treatment-resistant major depressive disorder," the researchers, led by Dr. Roy H. Perlis, of Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, concluded in a news release from the journal.
"Screening for bipolar disorder among psychiatric patients remains important, as does considering individual risk factors such as family history or age at onset. Still, our findings indicate that, in most individuals presenting with a major depressive episode without a prior manic or hypomanic episode, unrecognized bipolarity does not appear to be a major determinant of treatment resistance," the researchers said.

Have had my Evic since it first came out and love it. This tanks makes me love it even more! Tank looks great! I have a short tube (18350 Battery) and it makes it look amazing!Running at 4.5v and taste is amazing! Hope the consumables arent out of stock for long. (Posted on 9/20/13)
First impression.... Review by Dave
Price Value Quality
Ok. Just got my evic like 3 weeks ago and tried a variety of tanks. Some were great, some sucked ass. I'm not a fan of clearomizers or glassomizer type tanks. Too unpredictable. Always used a tank with carto. Now, lets give some thoughts;
First off, filling is stupid easy. You almost don't need the instructions. No needle tip necessary. Just go slow. Shove your bottle tip into the silicone capped hole and gently squeeze. Over filling will most certainly make a huge mess, and waste juice. No one wants that.
I'm currently vaping tobacco gold (my first love) PG with a 24 mg strength. My evic is running mvr 1.4, so my firmware should be up to date. Using the regulated voltage mode at 3.3 volts gives smooth warm vapor and delivers good throat action. The finish is nice. Just like my beloved camel wides.
Again, these are all first impressions. But I have to say; if you own an evic, you should try the tank designed for it. You might be pleasantly surprised. I'll update my impressions as the days go by. (Posted on 9/11/13)

Friday and Saturday at Sawyer Point, the inaugural MadLove Music Festival is set to bring the riverfront alive with art installations, a little comedy, a little wrestling (yeah!), several DJs and numerous local and regional live acts from the worlds of Hip Hop, Electronic music and Indie Rock. DJ Sinceer, DJ Deepfro, DJ Sab and DJ Fursur will host and DJ both days on the main stage.
Friday, things kick off at 5 p.m. at the P&G Pavilion stage, where music runs until 11 p.m. Friday night is called an "EDM Dance Rager" and the lineup is focused on Hip Hop and Electronic/Dance artists, including Knolls, Monty C. Benjamin, Cal Scruby, Those Guys, Olu, YZE, Neon Medusa and Manic Focus.
Saturday's music kicks off at 3 p.m. (gates open at 1 p.m.). MadLove features a great second stage lineup Saturday hosted by DJ Kombat and Jake the Ripper. Performers include great Hip Hop acts The Natives, Joey Mack and Valley High, plus rockers like The Kickaways.
Saturday's main stage lineup includes everything from live, improv-happy Electronica band Skeetones and Rock favorites The Lions Rampant to AltRock act The Driving Rain and strong Hip Hop up-and-comer Santino Corleon, plus a few Ohio-but-not-Cincy acts, like Cleveland's acclaimed rapper Chip Tha Ripper, Cleveland Hip Hop/Rock crew iPhonic, very young Columbus Electro/Alt/Pop group Liberty Deep Down and Columbus' popular "Schizoid Pop" duo Twenty One Pilots, which is signed to Fueled By Ramen (home to Fun., Gym Class Heroes, Cobra Starship and other heavyweights over the years).
Here is the full lineup, plus set times, for the weekend.
Two-day passes for MadLove are available for $20 through cincyticket.com. Tickets for Friday are $15, while Saturday-only tickets are also $20. "Half of all sponsored funds generated" go to the Cincinnati City Pools Fundraiser to help keep more public pools open this summer.
There will also be a few official MadLove afterparties. On Friday, visit either The Drinkery in Over-the-Rhine, where area Rock outfits Black Owls, Jody Stapleton and the Generals and Hello Mayday perform, or Longworth's in Mount Adams, where fest headliners Manic Focus featuring Lisa Lottie join DJ E-Trayn. Both events get rolling around 11:30 p.m.
Saturday's afterparty is at Bogart's in Corryville and features iPhonic, DJ Deepfro, DJ Sinceer, Liberty Deep Down and Skeetones. Music starts at 11:30 p.m. and advanced tickets are available here.
For full details on the MadLove Music Festival, visit www.madlovemusicfestival.com. There is a map of the grounds on the front page.
Everybody has their own parameters for summer these days. Schools are gradually starting earlier every year, so many students' "last day of summer" was in early August, while the calendar says it's not until Sept. 22. But if you declare summer as "everything before Labor Day," this is the last weekend of the season. And it seems like many "summer" music festivals are coming in just under the wire — this weekend sees the return of several fests (Ohmstead, Whispering Beard Folk Festival, Swinefest, Taste of Blue Ash), as well as the debut of a brand new one — the Feywill Music Festival, which shines a spotlight on some of Greater Cincinnati's finest original artists Friday-Saturday at various venues in Covington's MainStrasse Village.
This morning, the annual Bunbury Music Festival, coming up July 11-13 and returning to Sawyer Point/Yeatman's Cove along the Ohio River, announced the first acts for this summer's event. Fall Out Boy, which won the People's Choice Award for Favorite Alternative Band last night, will be joined at the fest by consistent Pop/Rock hit makers Paramore (who were up against FOB for that People's Choice Award and are doing a co-headlining tour with the band this summer, something that leaked early, allegedly angering Paramore) and up-and-coming Danish alt-rockers New Politics (also on the FOB/Paramore jaunt).
The full lineup for the Bunbury Music Festival is scheduled to be announced next month. Tickets are on sale now; below are details:
One-day, Any-day: $55.00 (U.S.) Buy on layaway until January 31, 2014
Three-day: $130.00 (U.S.) Buy on layaway until January 31, 2014
Three-day VIP: $325 (U.S.) Buy on layaway until January 31, 2014
Hotel and Ticket Package: Buy one three-day, get one free. Book now
Please note that ticket prices will increase after February 15 and again after July 1.
Also this morning, it was announced that The Afghan Whigs, one of the best musical exports to ever come out of Cincinnati, are returning to the road in 2014 to play (at least) the Coachella festival in California this summer. (The full Coachella lineup, which was released this morning and includes Arcade Fire, OutKast and The Replacements, can be found here.) Sounds like a good fit for this year's Bunbury lineup, too.
Our third and final day on-site at Bonnaroo was no less crazy than the previous two. I took occasional breaks during the day, sometimes in the air-conditioned press tent, and other times back at the campsite where I'd snack, get off my feet for a few minutes and pour water over my head.
The day began with an 11:30 a.m. press-tent panel discussion on changes in the concert industry since Bonnaroo's inception 10 years ago. The panel included Bonnaroo founder Ashley Capps who reminisced about the festival's early days. Capps and crew intentionally booked bands for the inaugural festival who already had direct contact with their fan base via the internet. By tapping into this pre-existing network, they were able to sell out the first Bonnaroo in just 18 days.
"The Bubblegum Masquerade," you say? Indeed. A local gentleman named Paul O'Moore has put together the Saturday show under the banner of his Vibrant Fringe Productions group, an essentially pro bono, one-man promotions organization founded to "exclusively support local and regional music" and to be "a partner in rebuilding Greater Cincinnati's music scene," according to the Vibrant Fringe Web site.
And looking at the generous lineup of local acts that O'Moore's ambitious two-stage, twelve-hour, multi-genre Masquerade plans to offer, he's clearly living up to his own mission statement.
Tickets for the 11th annual MidPoint Music Festival went on sale this morning. Click here to get yours before everyone else.
Here's what MPMF producer Dan McCabe has to say about this year's event: "This is the fifth year CityBeat has operated Cincinnati's 11-year old MidPoint Music Festival. In each year we have pushed to expand the event with the help of our sponsors, the Over The Rhine neighborhood and music fans. MPMF is now a regional cultural event that shows off our city like no other. This September all eyes and ears will be on you Cincinnati! Now is your opportunity to participate. Get your pass while they last."
Perhaps the biggest news announced today was the addition of a new venue — a stage in the freshly remodeled Washington Park. The park venue is being called "MPMF.12's main stage," so expect many of the biggest acts to perform there. Fans can purchase advanced single-concert tickets for that main stage for the first time this year. The stage is open to fans of all ages.
The fest is also offering "Loyalty Presale All Music Access Passes" at a discount. Supplies are limited.
On June 6, the first lineup announcement will be issued. A "minimum of 20" of the 170 or so acts booked for the fest will be announced. (I've heard "rumors" about a couple; my only hint: "animals.")
Keep an eye on MPMF.com for the latest developments.
For a limited time (while supplies last, as they say), seriously discounted tickets for the MidPoint Music Festival — which returns to the clubs and venues of Over-the-Rhine/Downtown Sept. 26-28 — will be made available starting this Friday at 10 a.m.
During this "Loyalty Presale," three-day "All Music Access" passes can be purchased through mpmf.cincyticket.com (the site will be live for the public tomorrow) for just $49 (they'll be $20 more come MPMF time). They are expected to sell out fast, so get 'em while you can. For those wanting a VIP MPMF experience, the popular VIP passes will also be available Friday for $129 ($40 off the normal price). The VIP tickets get you priority admission to all shows, access to catered VIP-only events and other goodies. (Last year's VIP passes sold out before the fest.)
In other MPMF news, if you are a musician/performer interested in being considered for a showcase slot at the festival, submissions are now being accepted via Sonicbids. The submission fee is just $20 until this Friday; after that it goes up to $25. (Those without a Sonicbids account can submit to MPMF and receive a two-week free trial of the service.)
Stay tuned to MPMF.com and this blog for the latest updates on MidPoint.
The eerie humming sound that kicked off The Afghan Whigs' 1993 major label debut, Gentlemen (considered by many to be one of the best albums of the '90s), sounded mysterious to those who've never visited Greater Cincinnati. But those in Northern Kentucky and Cincy knew that rhythmic buzzing wasn't a swarm of bees or a loop of some old man snoring. To anyone who frequently traveled across the Roebling Suspension Bridge over the Ohio River, the sound was instantly recognizable as the sound created by the cars, buses and trucks driving across the bridge's distinctive blue grating. So in some ways, it makes perfect sense that this year's RoeblingFest, Saturday's daylong celebration of the 155-year-old structure, is showcasing some high quality musical acts to enhance the festivities.

Forget tractors, lawn mowers and fuel, do away with noise and carbon emissions ... a New Zealand winegrower has discovered an environmentally-friendly - and cute-as - answer to controlling the growth beneath his vines.
At Yealands Estate vineyard, in the South Island's Marlborough wine region, owner Peter Yealands has introduced a flock of miniature sheep to wander the vines grazing on the grass and weeds that he once used seven tractors to mow.
A man who's passionate about sustainability, Yealands says the mini sheep - an old English breed known as 'babydolls' which only grow to 45 - 60cm high - are the perfect answer to doing without the carbon emissions produced by tractor power.
Not tall enough to reach the vines or munch on the fruit, the tiny sheep would save about 3500km of mowing annually around the 1000ha vineyard, he said.
Sustainable option
Yealands, who wants to turn his estate into the world's most sustainable wine operation, had experimented with free-range chickens, conventional sheep and guinea pigs before taking on the babydolls.
Unfortunately the normal-sized sheep got a taste for grapes, and the chickens were too hard to control. The guinea pigs seemed like a good idea but proved not viable on a commercial scale.
After searching the world by internet, Yealands discovered the miniature sheep and imported 10 animals from an Australian breeder.
The newest arrivals are being grazed amongst 125 hectares of sauvignon blanc vines that will be grown organically.
Breeding plans
The babydoll sheep cost $3000 each, including quarantine costs, but
they've been such a success that Yealands has another 30 on order for
Eventually, Yealands plans to cross-breed the babydoll sheep with Saxon merino sheep and grow the flock to 10,000. This would take four crossings until the sheep were seven-eighths babydoll, and would take at least five years.
As by-products of the lawn-mowing operation, Yealands plans to create a niche market selling meat to restaurants and producing fine, high lustre babydoll wool.
Carbon footprint
Yealands Estate is the New Zealand's largest carboNZero certified winery. There about a dozen wineries worldwide with carbon neutral certification, and seven are in New Zealand.
From winemaking to employee air travel to foreign port shipping, the Yealands Estate - both vineyard and state-of-the-art winery - operates with an effective net zero carbon footprint.
Techniques include solar and wind power, heat recovery systems, waste recycling and storm water collection for irrigation. Yealands has also developed more than 20 wetland areas to preserve native plant species and attract native birds.
Background: Yealands Estate - Marlborough
Yealands Wines, launched in August 2008, collected 33 awards in the first year of operation.
Peter Yealands began developing New Zealand's largest privately-owned vineyard in 2003. It is set in the rolling foothills of the Awatere Valley, Marlborough - a wine-growing region famous for its award-winning sauvignon blancs.
Yealands' vision, based on sustainable values, has translated into a winery valued at $NZ45 million, featuring advanced green production technology alongside many innovative ideas devised by the Yealands team.
Yealands Estate anticipated total energy savings of 949,000kWh in its first year of operation. Put into perspective, this saving represents the total annual energy consumption of more than 118 New Zealand households.
Yealands Estate received caboNZero certification in April 2009. The vineyard won the Small Business Awards at the national Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority (EECA) Awards in May 2009.

A lone FPMT student in South Africa emailed Mandala about doing animal liberation practice for Lama Zopa Rinpoche. Nina McNaught reported that in September 2013 a small group of Tibetan Buddhists from different traditions in Cape Town gathered with a visiting Nyingma lama, Chamtrul Rinpoche, to release crayfish into the cold Atlantic Ocean.
"How wonderful it was to be able to release approximately 25 happy wriggling and perfectly blessed crayfish into our marine reserve, Oudekraal," Nina wrote. "And how fortunate to be able to offer this practice to our most beloved guru Lama Zopa Rnpoche for his long, long life!"
Mandala brings you news of Lama Zopa Rinpoche and of activities, teachings and events from over 160 FPMT centers, projects and services around the globe. If you like what you read on Mandala, consider becoming a Friend of FPMT, which supports our work.

Eversheds CEO: "Everything we've done has had culture at the heart"
Readers' comments (21)
What a strange comment. The killing fields were carried out to change culture, but it didn't make it right.
Its not wrong or right these decisions are being made across most industries, they unfortunately have to be made.
So is it fair to assume that the people who are made to leave are those who didn't fit in the culture Eversheds wants to have? Nothing to do with money, business and greed?
Why are we so surprised every single time a law firm sacks a load of its staff to boost partner income, while spinning the line about how they 'care' etc etc?
In some ways it's endearing that people still think law firms, and their owners (i.e. equity partners), are not in it to make as much money as possible before they keel over.
If this was a banking magazine there would be very few people bemoaning the fact that staff had been sacked - as they would expect it from that industry.
that's a funny way of spelling money
Hughes is full of trite. Crawl back into your SHED! We know what Eversheds are, a low margin, high volume business, that pretends it is profitable by holding equity tight and culling a hundred plus support staff/associates every year. When was the last time a big client gave a big big bit of work to the sheds. Oh yes, never.
Saying these redundancies were made to give partners a higher pay package is pure speculation, and quite unwarranted. Why would they then give out higher redundancy packages, taking away from their profit, whilst increasing their own work load? For whatever reason these cuts were made, at least the firm is still running keeping some people employed.
Eversheds aren't doing anything different to most other companies within the industry. Plenty of companies are doing the same at the moment - the financial climate is still in dire straights. It's a case of pack up your desk and get on with it. I don't see why they should be highlighted when they aren't alone.
Thanks for your input Eversheds PR co @ 3:46 & 3:50...
"Without going into the rights and wrongs and pointing fingers, sadly this isn't the first or last we have seen or will see of this. Small comfort though it may be for those affected, we are seeing a few shoots of optimism in the market and increased investment in recruitment among our clients. We have a strong track record of helping those affected not just find a new firm but find the right new firm. The key is to act fast. Do get in touch for advice."

Southern Copper,
net income,
Raul Jacob
NEW YORK Southern Copper Corp.s net income tumbled 17.2 percent to $1.93 billion last year from $2.34 billion in 2011 as sales fell 2.2 percent to $6.67 billion largely due to lower commodity prices.
LME copper prices averaged $3.61 per pound in 2012 compared with $4 the previous year, and the average Comex price fell to $3.61 per pound from $4.01.
The companys copper production increased 2 percent to 651,801 tonnes last year from 638,810 tonnes in 2011, although fourth-quarter output of 165,089 tonnes was down 2.7 percent from 169,750 tonnes in the same period a year earlier.
The Phoenix-based company said it expects to boost its annual copper production to more than 1.17 million tonnes by 2017, in part from its $2.8-billion investment to increase output at its Buenavista Mine in Mexico to 488,000 tonnes per year by 2015 from 180,000 tonnes.
Chief financial officer Raul Jacob said he is optimistic about copper demand this year, noting that the company is forecasting 8.5-percent growth in China in 2013, an improvement over 5-percent growth in 2012.
The companys molybdenum sales fell 2.2 percent to 18,220 tonnes in 2012 from 18,635 tonnes the previous year, but zinc sales rose 3 percent to 93,392 tonnes from 90,664 tonnes in the same comparison and silver sales jumped 14.6 percent to 16,232 tonnes from 14,161 tonnes.
Fourth-quarter net income dipped 1 percent to $531.8 million from $537 million a year earlier on sales that fell 1.1 percent to $1.65 billion.

Five women who are busy crushing the sports patriarchy: the world's all-time leading international goalscorers
"Every time [a male player] sits there, silently allowing that phrase to be rattled off — "all-time leading goal scorer"… it does take away from what Abby Wambach and Mia Hamm have achieved — total world domination." (x)
Countdown to 2013: my favourite football moments of 2012
9. Melissa Tancredi's overhead assist and Christine Sinclair's goal
If woso were Game of Thrones.
When you play a game of soccer, you win, or you…lose and go home.
Here are the basic stats (and a few slightly more in-depth stats) for the five members of the newly-announced shortlist for FIFA Women's World Player of the Year who hail from CONCACAF countries — Christine Sinclair from Canada, and Carli Lloyd, Alex Morgan, Megan Rapinoe, and Abby Wambach from the United States.
(Boxes that are shaded green indicate that, among these five, that player ranked first in that statistic; boxes that are shaded blue indicate second; and boxes that are shaded yellow indicate third.)
What stuck out to me:
- Alex Morgan is ranked either 1st or 2nd in every statistical category except Olympic goals scored.
- Abby Wambach is ranked either 2nd or 3rd in every statistical category except Olympic assists and assists per game against Top 10 opponents.
- Christine Sinclair scored more than half of her team's goals this year (52.27%), and either scored or assisted on nearly 2/3 (65.91%). That's absolutely insane.
- Megan Rapinoe ranks in the top three in every assist-based statistic.
- Carli Lloyd had a great year (and a phenomenal Olympics), but her statistics don't look great side-by-side with these four.
- Alex Morgan either scored or assisted in all but four games in which she played this year. Christine Sinclair, all but six. Abby Wambach, all but seven.
- Take a look at the goals per game and assists per game numbers across all competitions, and then at those same statistics against opponents ranked in the top 10. As you can see, most players see a significant drop off in either goals per game or assists per game (or both) against top-10 teams, indicating that they have been able to "pad their stats" to some extent against weaker competition. But check out Alex Morgan's numbers. Her goals per game average goes up slightly against top 10 teams, and her assists per game average drops only a relatively small amount. Basically, she plays as well against the likes of Germany and Japan as she does against the likes of Guatemala and the Dominican Republic. That's pretty incredible.

A beautiful, and heartbreaking quote.

As an ardent fan of the USWNT, I can understand the despair and sadness over the loss. For me, every win feels as if I was the one playing and every loss feels as if I had let the team down. It's personal and no one can tell me otherwise.
However, don't leave with your head down. You guys played an absolutely amazing game, probably one of the most EPIC games in all Olympics (and in all of women's soccer). Raise your head high, stand tall and proud! Understandably, there were questionable calls on both ends, but know this: CANWNT played a game for the ages. One that will be talked about and dissected. They gave it their all and will continue to dominate on the field.
Finally, the petty insults between USWNT fans and CANWNT fans are pointless and detract from the accomplishments of both teams; it also cheapens the actual sport of soccer/football and the Olympics. In the end, it was one of the best goddamn games in women's sport.
Basically ALL OF THIS.
It was one of the best goddamn games in the sport, period.

Village of Hoffman Estates Protects Water Infrastructure
Village protects water supply and key municipal buildings with Brivo's Web-enabled and wireless access control
San Diego, CA, and Bethesda, MD, September 25, 2006 – Brivo Systems, the leader in Web applications for access control and security systems, today announced that the Village of Hoffman Estates, IL, utilizes the company's advanced Web-enabled and wireless access control system to enhance security for key buildings and critical infrastructure over the Village's 26-square mile area.
Brivo ACS4000 Web-enabled panels and readers are installed at the Village police station and Brivo wireless panels have been installed to control access to the Village's water towers and the chlorine facility. The Village has been able to mix and match transmission technologies to best fit their needs. Other major advantages are the flexibility and integration potential of the Brivo platform.
In the post-9/11 world, the Village began planning in earnest both to protect its water supply and other infrastructure, and the staff who serve its more than 51,000 residents. The Village of Hoffman Estates is spread out over 26 square miles and the Department of Public Works faced multiple challenges to cost-effectively upgrade access control over such a large area without installing and maintaining a lot more phone lines. Budget considerations also dictated that the system would have to be implemented over a number of years as well as be capable of integrating with other systems and video surveillance.
With Brivo, the Village used a phased implementation over three years in which they have been able to upgrade software along the way, use different installation vendors as dictated by their bid process, and integrate with other technologies to bring multiple buildings, vehicles, and doors onto a system managed by one control interface.
Paul Petrenko, the Village's Facilities Manager, Village of Hoffman Estates, discussed the progress to date, "Our initial plans were that, with the remote sites, we didn't want to install phone lines everywhere. Brivo offered cellular transmission along with Ethernet, and with a Web-enabled system, we didn't have to maintain servers and get our IT department involved. Brivo provides data storage and management and front-end installation costs were kept low, so we were able to do this on budget."
Petrenko oversees the system on a day-to-day basis, and was also involved in system design and implementation, "The Brivo system is fantastic. It's logical and easy to use—I didn't even need to read the manuals." Petrenko has programmed the system to fulfill a number of critical functions. Each day he receives an "exception report," which flags activity he needs to investigate: propped or forced doors, unauthorized access attempts, and repeated attempts for access by someone who may actually need such access. He has also programmed alerts to his handheld device in the event of system or communications failure, problems at the water supply facilities, and more. Petrenko again, "I often access the system from my home office and even while I'm on vacation by my handheld. No matter where I am, I can be in control. I can even unlock a door or gate for a vendor from hundreds of miles away."
There is no doubt that municipalities have enormous security responsibilities to their citizens and to fulfilling government regulations and requirements. Ken Hari, Director of Public Works, deals with this every day: "We're living in a whole new world now in terms of threats and compliance with mandated security needs. But even without such mandates, we have a responsibility to implement the best technology and systems to protect our employees and citizens and to safeguard our water supply. I believe we've done a good job so far, and we plan to expand our system to continue to meet growing needs."
