Judge tentatively retains charges in Thomas death
SANTA ANA An Orange County judge has tentatively declined to dismiss charges against a former Fullerton police officer indicted in the 2011 death of the homeless man Kelly Thomas, a court document reviewed by the Register reveals.
Attorneys for former officer Joseph Wolfe asked Superior Court Judge William Froeberg to set aside charges of involuntary manslaughter and excessive force, arguing Wolfe's rights were violated and there is insufficient evidence to sustain convictions. The lawyers contend Wolfe's conduct in an altercation July 5, 2011, was not unreasonable or criminally negligent – he was helping fellow officers trying to subdue an uncooperative man.
"There is no question that it is legally proper for a police officer to come to the aid of a fellow officer," Froeberg wrote in a tentative ruling filed Tuesday. "However, the manner in which the aid is rendered is subject to scrutiny. The reasonableness of the force used under the circumstances is a question for a jury."
Prosecutors contend that former officer Manuel Ramos provoked a fight with the mentally ill Thomas after police received a call that someone was pulling on car doors in a parking lot near downtown Fullerton and that Wolfe was the first to strike Thomas.
Other officers joined the altercation after Wolfe wrestled Thomas to the ground and lay on top of him to subdue him, surveillance video revealed. Thomas, 37, died when his life support was turned off five days later.
Ramos was charged by the Orange County District Attorney's Office in September 2011 with second-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter. Former Cpl. Jay Cicinelli, one of five other officers involved in the confrontation, was charged at the same time with involuntary manslaughter and assault and battery under color of authority.
Wolfe was indicted by the Orange County grand jury a year later. He is scheduled to appear in court Friday for a formal ruling on the motion to dismiss charges.
Ramos and Cicinelli are scheduled for jury trial in October.

Apple and Blackberry Terrine
|1 1⁄2 Pound (Cooking / Eating, 500 Grams)
|Sweet cider
|1⁄2 Pint (300 Milliliter, 1 1/4 Cups)
|Clear honey
|15 Milliliter (1 Tablespoon)
|Vanilla essence
|1 Teaspoon
|7 Ounce (200 Grams, Fresh / Frozen, Thawed)
|Gelatin powder
|15 Milliliter (1 Sachet Or 1 Tablespoon)
|Egg whites
|Apple slices
|1 Tablespoon (To Decorate)
1. Peel, core and chop the apples and place them in a saucepan, with half the cider. Bring the cider to the boil, and then cover the pan and let the apples simmer gently on a medium heat until tender.
2. Tip the apples into a blender or food processor and process them to a smooth puree. Stir in the honey and vanilla. Add half the blackberries to half the apple puree, and then process the mixture again until smooth. Sieve.
3. Heat the remaining cider until it almost boiling, then sprinkle the powdered gelatine over and stir until the gelatine has completely dissolved. Add half the gelatine and cider liquid to the apple puree and half to the blackberry puree.
4. Leave the purees to cool until almost set. Whisk the egg whites until they are stiff, then quickly fold them into the apple puree. Remove half the puree to another bowl. Stir the remaining whole blackberries into half the apple puree, and then turn this into a 1.75 litre / 3 pint / 7 1/2 cup loaf tin.
5. Top with the blackberry puree and spread it evenly. Finally, add a layer of the apple puree and smooth it evenly. To make sure the layers remain clearly separated, you can freeze each one until firm before adding the next.
6. Freeze until firm. To serve, allow to stand at room temperature for about 20 minutes to soften, then serve in thick slices, decorated with apples and blackberries.

The error message may be unrelated to this bug, because the same message is output in Firefox14.
Hmm. I bet the problematic rule is this one, at line 698 in cReader.css:
@font-face {
font-family: 'AdobeGaramondProRegular';
src: url('/fonts/agaramondpro-regular-webfont.eot');
src: url('/fonts/agaramondpro-regular-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('/fonts/agaramondpro-regular-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
url('/fonts/agaramondpro-regular-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
url(/fonts/agaramondpro-regular-webfont.svg#AdobeGaramondProRegular') format('svg');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
which gives the following error console messages:
[00:00:19.075] Error in parsing value for 'src'. Skipped to next declaration. @ http://www.ipulpfiction.com/books/_bookReader/reader/cReader.css:704
[00:00:19.075] Found unclosed string '');'. Unexpected end of file while searching for closing } of declaration block. Unexpected end of file while searching for '}'. @ http://www.ipulpfiction.com/books/_bookReader/reader/cReader.css:705
The src value is in fact invalid: note the missing single quote at the start of the url() there. That means there's an unclosed string involved, as reported. What I'm not sure of is why we don't find the '}' yet.
More debugging to come tomorrow. But _man_ does that stylesheet have a bunch of broken CSS in it...
Created attachment 661159 [details]
Minimalish testcase
On this testcase, Firefox 14 and WebKit are green. Current nightly and Presto are red.
Still working through what the spec says and why the behavior changed here.
OK, so first of all what our behavior is. We enter ParseFontSrc. The first token we get is a BadURL token with "foo" as mIdent. We don't know what to do with it, so we UngetToken and return. In fact, we return all the way up to ParseFontFaceRule. At that point we call SkipDeclaration().
SkipDeclaration() calls GetToken() and comes out with the BadURL token we just ungot. So we call SkipUntil(')').
In SkipUntil, the first token we get is a String token containing ") format(". Then an Ident token for "something". Then a BadString token for ");". At this point there are no more ')' to be had in the stylesheet, so we keep scanning forward looking for a ')' until we get to the end of a stylesheet.
Before bug 748254, we get into SkipDeclaration, the first token we get is the ") format (" string. So we don't go into SkipUntil, and keep getting tokens, getting the same Ident and BadString. Then we get a Symbol for the '}' and SkipDeclaration knows that means the end of a declaration and returns. On the original page, we would have kept going until the Symbol for ';' at the end of "font-weight: normal" and then returned. In either case, the rest of the CSS in the sheet got processed.
I believe the new behavior is actually the correct one in terms of the spec: we need to look for the closing ')' of the "url(", and we weren't doing that before. Note that Presto implements the same behavior.
David, is my reading of the spec correct here?
(In reply to Boris Zbarsky (:bz) from comment #5)
> David, is my reading of the spec correct here?
Probably, although it was never clear in CSS 2.1 whether a BAD_URI contributes to an opening '('.
I guess this would then gives another reason why Tab's new bad-url spec would be favorable because a missing quote in url() would have minimal impact? Though the fact that WebKit accepts this is becuase it never observes matching parenthesis...
Testing this issue on Mac OS X 10.10 with FF 50.0a1, FF 47 release, the minimal test case attached is red, on other browsers the test is green.
Boris, what do you think we should do with this one? Based on your comment 5 this is the correct behavior.
What I think we should do with this one is verify that the CSS parsing spec changes that have happened in the last 4 years haven't changed what we're supposed to do here and if so resolve this invalid and file bugs on the other browsers.
So I talked to Tab and looked at the current CSS Syntax draft. The upshot is that per spec in my minimal testcase once we hit the single-quote we land in https://www.w3.org/TR/css-syntax-3/#consume-the-remnants-of-a-bad-url0 which ignores all characters except literal (not escaped) ')'.
In terms of our parser, nsCSSScanner::NextURL when we set aToken.mType = eCSSToken_Bad_URL we need to go ahead and consume everything to EOF or next unescaped ')', I think.
Though I'm not sure how this will affect CSSParserImpl::SkipBalancedContentUntil. How should something like url(foo') be handled there?
Bad_URL tokens are invalid in CSS variable values, and we reject them in ParseValueWithVariables, so we shouldn't be getting in here with a Bad_URL token. But in case someone else calls it in the future, we can just continue the loop (and not call stack.AppendElement(')')). Same thing for SkipUntil.
Similarly we'll need to remove the SkipUntil(')') call when encountering a Bad_URL in:
* SkipAtRule
* ParseSupportsConditionInParens
* SkipUntilOneOf
* SkipDeclaration
* SkipRuleSet
* ParseValueWithVariables
And then in ParseSupportsCondition we should return false immediately.
Unless in comment 9 you mean that NextURL consumes *up until* the ')', in which case the the above functions can keep their SkipUntil(')'), which they'll find immediately. But it's probably a better match to the spec if the ')' is considered part of the Bad_URL and we don't need to care about it up in CSSParserImpl.
> Unless in comment 9 you mean that NextURL consumes *up until* the ')'
Yeah, I was wandering about that tool. There are lots of places that basically treat Bad_URL and Function in parallel and assume that neither one consumes the ')', so the minimal change here is to make NextURL consistently consume up until the ')' but leave the ')'.

Thank you for doing this.
I think the devtools parts look good.
Maybe dom/webidl/CSSLexer.webidl needs a comment update to reflect the change to bad_url. This is the main documentation for (both of) the CSS Lexer interface. I leave it to your discretion.

Applejack's Morning Routine by SmockHobbesWatch
©2012-2017 SmockHobbes
I do wonder if she can actually get those hair bands on herself?
I have a pony tail to hang from my pants but that band is so annoying to get right.. I have no idea how girls do that
If it's an elastic band, you put it over your wrist, grab the hair higher than you want the band, then pull your fist and the hair all the way through the band. Then you let go and slide the band to where you want it.
( A friend has a show horse...)

I really like all her little hair tufts, they're cute!
That is what I call pure cuteness.
May I use it as an avatar?

I'm sure she can get the hair bands on, but with difficulty since she only has hooves.

Very nice work.
Very nice work.
Awww <333
So cute <3
Awww, that is adorable.
Hahaha I'm surprised no one seems to have thought of this before
wow nice work
<--- AJ Fan ^_^
<--- AJ Fan ^_^
I'm surprised I never wondered this before. Now whenever I see AJ, I will.
Actually, it's a year and 4 months '^^
I'm still quite happy with my progress, though!
I'm still quite happy with my progress, though!
Now now, you have to give yourself more credit than that. I looked at one of your pieces from about 4 months ago (June 2012) in your gallery, and I just wouldn't believe both that piece and this piece were drawn by the same person (unless the other piece was drawn a long time ago and was just uploaded late).
But yeah, seriously... good job! I was astounded!
But yeah, seriously... good job! I was astounded!
cuteness over dose...
I think Applejack ceased to remove her hairband ever again.
She put them on once and has not way of getting them off again.
I like how fuzzy you draw her. And yes, getting that band back on is going to be a challenge I think.
This is really adorable.
I always wondered how she got those hair bands on.
I always wondered how she got those hair bands on.
I'm still not sure if this is the way to do it ^^
Awww! So much adorableness!
This is so cute.<3
I love ANY opportunity to see AJ let her mane down!
I guess it's practical for a working gal, but still, I wish AJ would let it hang free.
She's at least 120% cuter with her mane down.
She's at least 120% cuter with her mane down.
She does look really cute with her hair down indeed, but this works as well ^^ And I guess it's indeed better during work.
Me every morning.
Well, at least the mane.
Actually no, me every time of the day. I don't have control of my hair.

If you need to terminate your wires and/or splice them together, you've come to the right place. Our selection of wire connectors features plenty of options, including winged and non-winged, twist-on, push-in, and even transparent connectors to allow for post-connection inspection. We also have metal lugs for compression and grounding applications. And of course, our termination products conform to strict UL and CSA standards.

Need help to find the right choice for you? Check out our guide below!
Twist-on Connectors
Splice Connectors
Push Connectors
Just Call Yourself the Terminator with These Cable Termination Tools
All good things have to end, and that includes wires. You can't just leave a wire hanging without proper cable termination or connection, so we've got the tools you need to join, connect, or terminate wires when you need to. We have so many that we've broken them up into four separate categories:
Twist-on ConnectorsTwist on wire connectors are used to connect two or more electrical wires together. They are available in many different styles, sizes, and shapes and are usually made of plastic, while the connection is usually a metal insert that threads onto wires and holds them together. We have many options, including ones that are flame-retardant, ones that meet specific requirements based on your needs, and ones for different numbers of wires, with springs, and improved comfort and grip.
Splice ConnectorsSplice connectors take away the need to strip wires by using insulation displacement technology. They are super east to use and save you lots of time. They are designed to support either stranded or solid wires, and install nearly twice as fast as traditional splicers. Simply put, splice connectors are easy, quick, and reliable.
LugsA lug is another electrical connector that provides high-quality electrical termination. We have a variety of different ones from the simple that are compatible with both copper and aluminum conductors, and ones that are specifically designed to work in and around water.
Push ConnectorsPush connectors for wires are designed to join two or more wires together and insulate the connections. We offer variations that are color-coded for easy identification that support electrical wiring of 600V and lighting fixtures or signage up to 1000V. Either way you go, they are certainly secure and convenient. As with everything, it comes down to figuring out what kind of wires and electricity you are working with and what variation is best for you. Take the time to browse through out four categories, and if you need more information about one of our products, our product specialists are always standing by to help!
What can make this page better?
We do everything we can think of to provide you with the product specs, images and ordering info you need, but if we're missing something or still have room to improve, please let us know. Your comments, suggestions and questions are the best tools we have for serving you better!

Theresa, thanks. I'm not sure I want bamboo as I have only read about it.
It would be in contrast to my oak floor which I love. I have had oak floor
in my family rooms since having a family room in my early days of marriage.
The finishes on hardwood today are so tough and durable. I loved the first
hardwoods I had but they did require waxing & buffing. I can't imagine how
many times I would have had to replace carpeting if I had it when my boys were
running their little cars & trucks on the floor. Gosh I miss that!

We realized early on that with great travel comes great responsibility. We've built Intrepid as a model for sustainable travel around the world, and a big part of that was going fully carbon neutral in 2010. Something we're still pretty proud of.
In honor of Earth Day 2015, we're asking you to join us and pledge your support to travel responsibly. Tell us how you can make a difference and you'll get a chance to WIN an 8-day adventure in the Ecuadorian Amazon. Take the pledge!
This contest has closed.
People making a difference
Responsible travel at Intrepid
We explain responsible travel as; respecting people, cultures and local environments; in the distribution of wealth; in good will and cross-cultural sharing; and in contributing to sustainable development. Below are just some of the ways we support responsible travel here at Intrepid. Read the full Progress Report>>
100% Carbon Neutral Since 2010
Being carbon neutral involves calculating Intrepid's climate-damaging carbon emissions, avoiding, reducing and seeking a less carbon intensive alternative where possible and then balancing the remaining emissions through a carbon offset activity. Intrepid follows a project plan which describes the activites and milestones necessary to keep us carbon neutral year after year.
Elephant Welfare
In 2014, we announced that our trip itineraries would no longer include elephant rides. This decision was the result of a research initiative into elephant welfare, in partnership with World Animal Protection. We hope to create enough awareness of the impacts elephant rides and inappropriate entertainment venues can have on these creatures to influence the travel industry to take similar action and stop offering elephant rides and attending wildlife shows that exploit animals.
Minimize Plastic Waste
We include information in all our trip notes about how Intrepid travelers can obtain safe drinking water in our destinations and avoid the purchase of plastic water bottles. Additionally, on all of our overland trips we provide free water fill up stations on the truck/van.
The Intrepid Foundation
Established in 2002 by our founders, The Intrepid Foundation is a non-profit organization that allows travelers to give back to the communities they visit. Since our creation, we've distributed over $3 million to more than 70 NGO's around teh world, which support initiatives in health care, education, gender equality, human rights, child welfare, sustainable development, environmental conservation and wildlife protection.
The Intrepid difference
How can I travel responsibly?
There are a variety of ways that you can tread lightly on the Earth while you travel. We've put together the ideas below just to get you started.
Purchase carbon offsets for your transportation or travel with a tour operator that does this (we do for each one of our passengers!)
Take local transportation to reduce fuel usage
Carry reusable water bottles when possible or purification tablets. Learn more from our friends at Travelers Against Plastic (TAP)
Be aware of your footprint - reduce, reuse, recycle
Do not participate in activities that exploit animals. We were the first tour operator to put an end to riding elephants. Learn why>>
We strongly encourage our travelers to eat locally produced food and goods. This reduces the 'embodied energy' (energy consumed through production and transport) of the food and goods purchased by our passengers.
Economic empowerment of local communities through tourism can help improve education and health services, water supplies and sanitation and reduce dependence on non-sustainable livelihoods such as deforestation.

Really tasty dishes served with a smile and in a great atmosphere.
Went back for a party and the entertainment was superb.
Although not truly Spanish dishes, more of a 'take on' Spanish tapas, it is really good food with a large selection, and you can order as many times as you want! Order 3 or 4 at a time so they don't go cold or take up too much of the table space... A tasty meal that fills you, and a...
Staff were arguing at the bar. Poor service. No heating, very cold. Food was terrible, was cold and tasteless. The atmosphere was very uncomfortable due to staff arguing. Some staff went outside smoking leaving us waiting for service with the door fully open resulting in the restaurant smelling strongly of smoke. Never again!
Complete waste of my time. Staff rude, and food not that good, considering, Horwich and Wigan la salsa are unbelievable, what's going on here.
Get rid of all staff including chef or chefs, and start again.
Don't even want to rate but I think I have to give it a 1
Fantastic little restaurant offering fresh tapas and great service!
I've been here multiple times over the years and always have a great experience. The selection of food is extensive and it's unbelievable value for money.
A great place!
Great all you can eat, food was delivered fast and fresh staff was a pleasure to deal with...shame it's in such a small hidden building...I've eaten tapas all around the world but this place is one of the best I've been to especially for value for money
We decided to give it a try as the place that we were intending to go was closed. Even with a board outside advertising the "all you can eat" it was hard to tell if it was open or not. I have walked and driven past here many, many, times over the years and use a quite a few of...
Great tapas with good number of selections to suit everyone. Rather small but good atmosphere and very friendly staff. No hurry to eat the full selection if wanted....very good value. Would recommend.
We took our grandson and his girlfriend to La Salsa as we had mentioned this restaurant several times and they were really looking forward to going. What a let down ! The food was as good but on a Sunday at 4pm ,there was a party of 40+ people in the restaurant.The noise was horrendous and the waitress could not...

Posted on 08/13/2012 11:49:16 AM PDT by RummyChick
CHICAGO (AP) Mayo Clinic: US Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. under treatment for bipolar disorder.
(Excerpt) Read more at sfgate.com ...
It makes a great excuse I suppose.
Mayo Clinic: Jackson Has Bipolar Depression
Doctors say Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr. is under treatment for bipolar disorder.
A release Monday from the Mayo Clinic states that the Democrat underwent an extensive evaluation and is responding well to treatment for the disorder at the facility in Rochester, Minn. The release says Jackson is regaining his strength.
Jackson spokesman Frank Watkins declined to comment.
The clinic says that Bipolar II disorder is a treatable condition that affects parts of the brain controlling emotion, thought and drive and is likely caused by a complex set of genetic and environmental factors.
Jackson has been away from the public eye since June 10 when family members said he collapsed at their Washington home. He's been on an extended leave of absence from Congress.
Dangling between the ying & yang of right and wrong....
"Cocaine is a helluva drug."
This girl who went crazy on the bus is bipolar
So I guess this will be Jackson's excuse.
That means he did something bad.
Refuge from indictment!
If you are bipolar enough to be in a hospital for weeks, you have been on a wild ride and I guarantee you've taken a lot of loved ones on it with you.
I've heard the man. I don't agree with practically anything he says, but I hope and pray he finds a healing. Because it's a horrid illness. Maybe this is why we haven't heard much from his dad lately.
Ted Turner does this too. In fact, the grandiose proposals popping up among liberals suggests strongly that most of them are, at least some of the time, wholly bipolar and utterly whacked out.
The biggest problem victims have is self-medication. Long before they're ever diagnosed they get a snoot full of everything. Next thing you know they're really messed up, and this otherwise 'treatable' (but not curable) problem because a whole zoo of problems.
Jackson probably triggered his latest bit of cycling with several gallons of distilled beverages topped off with drugs of choice readily found on Chicago's mean streets. It's a wonder he didn't kill himself this time.
My prediction is he will reject treatment with the few drugs that work and will go back to his old ways pretty soon. Those feelings of occasional exhilaration are a major piece of it.
offering money for a senate seat can lead to bipolar disorder....but it clears up quickly as soon as the pardon comes down
Mayo said he went under extensive evaluation. That sounds like he had never been diagnosed.
Why did he recently have gastric by pass surgery?? He's not that big.
Bipolar II disorder is a treatable condition that affects parts of the brain controlling emotion, thought and drive and is most likely caused by a complex set of genetic and environmental factors, the clinic wrote
"Bipolar disorder is characterized by swings between mania and depression. According to the clinic, bipolar II is less severe than bipolar I; mania is less severe, while periods of depression last longer. "
Exactly, I wish this meant we were rid of him permanently, but crooked, whacked-out liberals don't have anywhere else
to go. They can only survive on other people's money.
Who's paying for this?
perhaps something like murdering his bastard brother
That might do it. Or flinging the misses down the front steps.
The doctor wouldn't have released this information if Jackass didn't want it public.
If Jesse Jackson Jr. is looking for sympathy, he can find it in the dictionary between sh!t and syphilis.
Democrats are mostly unipolar (depressed, etc)
The Democrats have had a number of these guys in recent years ~ the crazy guy in Florida, the other one who thought he lived with his mother in law, and Plugs ~ he's had brain surgery three times, all unsuccessfully!
Obama shows a separate delusional aspect ~ more likely he's got a different problem.
Maybe he was the one who did the dirty work of offing the Kennedy wife that recently was found hung in NY. A good dose of psychtropic drugs and he's off the hook - oops.
This should have been posted by BipolarBob.
> Refuge from indictment!
My thoughts exactly. They're spinning/lying for him.
Sounds completely truthful yet completely incomplete. Bipolar disorder is frequently cited as the causative pathology for the Colombian Marching Disease.
Ten bucks says that some woman is being kept quiet with huge payouts in connection with...you...know...what,and he's checked into Mayo just in case the payouts don't work.
That's exactly what I have seen, too. I can't believe that I didn't recognize the condition for what it was, mental illness.
I had a neighbor who has since been diagnosed, but not before just about destroying her family. When she would go on binges and buy things, cars, new carpet, you name it, she bought it, with no means of paying back the debt. Then she would take on three jobs to pay off the credit cards and start taking drugs to stay awake so she could work all three jobs, until she would literally collapse into screaming, crying fits and throwing everything she could pick up, all while leaving three teenagers to fend for themselves. Her husband was truck driver and gone a lot of the time.
Jesse Jackson Jr. could be clinically insane and confined in a straitjacket, but he would still get 115 percent of the vote in his IL district. The dead vote will always put him over the top every time.
Unable to snort coke into both nostrils any longer?
These bipolar folks idea of a good time is to get together and swap prescription drugs
I used to be bi-polar before I decided on Antarctica. It's warmer there.
Thank you, thank you folks, I'll be here all week. Try the kosher pork chops at the buffet.

Mortality among users of marijuana, cocaine, amphetamine, ecstasy and opioids
While Illicit drugs have long been linked to higher mortality rates, the data is wildly variable.
In a paper recently published in the journal Drug and Alcohol Dependence, Danish researchers attempted to establish standard mortality ratios for the drugs cannabis, cocaine, amphetamine, MDMA (ecstasy) and opioids (e.g. heroin)*, while taking into consideration the effects of two intervening variables: drug injection with needles and psychiatric disorders (Is the mortality rate of cocaine users mediated by whether they have, for example, clinical depression?)
(*Individuals' primary drug of choice)
The population they looked at included 20,581 people treated for drug abuse in Denmark over a 10-year period from 1996-2006. (These data are correlational and, therefore, the possibility of unidentified moderating variables exerting an effect on death rates is high.)
In brief, the results showed the following:
1. Those who injected drugs showed significantly higher mortality rates across the board. (This does conflict with past findings, which found no difference.)
2. Overall, psychiatric illness was not associated with higher mortality rates, with the exception of cocaine/amphetamine users, who, if they presented with psychiatric disorders, did show higher morality rates.
3. Pot smokers showed 5x increase in mortality rates (compared to the general population). Researchers suggest that increased mortality among pot smokers could be related to driving accidents, violent injuries and various other types of accidents. (a personal note: Based on my personal experience, this seems unlikely. Pot smokers tend to drive very conservatively (too slow, if anything!) and are famously not prone to violence.) What seems more likely to explain pot smokers' higher mortality rate is that they are also using other drugs. Other studies have borne this out.
4. Cocaine and amphetamine users showed 6x death rates of the general population. Previous reports on stimulant abuse related deaths are highly variable. The variability is likely the result of other factors including physical conditions, HIV/AIDS, overdose, cardiovascular problems, injuries accidents, violent deaths and suicides.
5. Opiod users show increased mortality rates. Findings for both stimulants and opioids are in accordance with studies from other countries. Users of Heroin and other opioids showed by far the highest mortality rates of all drugs of abuse.
6. Ecstasy (MDMA) users did not show increased mortality rates. (However, it's possible that a low number of deaths from MDMA contribute to low statistical power).
Conclusions that can be drawn from this report? Stay away from all drugs if you want to increase your chances of staying alive; but, especially, don't do intravenous heroin. Psychiatric disorders plus drugs of abuse aren't associated with increased mortality risks except for in the case of cocaine/amphetamine. Ecstasy is unlikely to kill you on its own, but that's not to say it won't do some long-term damage if abused. Although marijuana users showed higher mortality rates, there's not good reason to believe this is solely the effect of marijuana, but other factors. Finally, the population under study here consisted of people seeking treatment, so it's unknown if this represents the drug using population as a whole.
I think it's pretty clear, given the number of questions and unknowns this study presents, that there is a lot more to learn about drug-related mortality risk.

Scientists and journalists convene to discuss blogs and whatnot
A couple of nights back, I attended a panel discussion at Rockefeller University in NYC, organized by SONYC and sponsored by Nature. Entitled Courting Controversy : how to successfully engage an online audience with complex or controversial topics, The meeting consisted of a three person panel, a climate scientist, a pediatric clinician and a former science journalist, addressing a crowd full of journalists and scientists. I won't give a full review but just a couple of quick points.
One question that emerged from the meeting was whether or not the role of scientist bloggers and/or science journalists should be to educate their readers. The consensus that emerged from the panel seemed to be that education should not be a goal. One panelist, Gavin Schmidt, a climate researcher at NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies and a driving force behind the RealClimate blog, made mention of how scientists live in the space between the known and the unknown, and that in order to really understand discoveries that emerge from this space in a given field, one would need an extensive background education, e.g. the kind of background that one receives when doing a PhD. This kind of education, Schmidt said takes many thousands of hours and can't very well be accomplished through reading blogs or articles in mainstream media.
While this is certainly true, I'm not sure that science writers are not educating their readers. It's perhaps a question of how you define "educate". It might be defined as an act by which one is, "qualified or trained for a particular calling, practice, or trade." By that definition, any given piece of science writing would certainly not qualify. But, education can also be defined, more simply, as the act of providing something of informational value. Science writers certainly do that. And to the extent that a person's opinion is influenced by information they've consumed, whatever the format, then I think we can say some educating has taken place.
One other point that stuck with me was made by David Ropeik, a former journalist who runs the blog, On Risk. He made the point that negative messages carry much more weight than positive messages. Not a new observation, to be sure, but it's good to be reminded that to participate in the news/information space is to be in competition for reader's eyeballs. How one frames their message is probably as important as the message itself. The "competition" probably has less scruples than you. Negative sells. One ignores this maxim at their own peril.
There was some good vigorous discussion in the latter part of the event and the whole thing should be online soon.
The case of the man who couldn't find the beat
The ability to dance to music comes naturally to most members of the human species, and even exists in some species of bird, most famously a cockatoo and YouTube celebrity named Snowball.
But it doesn't come naturally to everyone.
Researchers from McGill University and the University of Montreal (Phillips-Silver, 2011) have recently published a case study of a student named Matthieu, who not only can't dance to the beat, but also can't tell when someone else is dancing asyncronously, although he can dance in time if he is able to watch someone else doing it.
"Mathieu was discovered through a recruitment of subjects
who felt they could not keep the beat in music, such as in clapping
in time at a concert or dancing in a club. Mathieu was the
only clear-cut case among volunteers who reported these problems.
Despite a lifelong love of music and dancing, and musical
training including lessons over several years in various instruments,
voice, dance and choreography, Mathieu complained that
he was unable to find the beat in music. Participation in music
and dance activities, while pleasurable, had been difficult for
Experimenters put Matthieu and a group of control subjects through a series of tests in which they danced to various types of music. Measurements were gathered by way of a Wii controller (which contains a accelerometer) that was strapped to the trunk of each subject's body and was able to track and quantify their movements. They also had participants tap their hands to the beat, while not dancing. Finally, they watched videos of someone else dancing (increasingly out of sync) to some Merengue music, and were to asked to identify if the person dancing in the videos was in sync with the music or not.
Matthieu couldn't tap a beat in time and the style of music didn't seem to matter; across numerous styles of music, he couldn't dance in sync with the groove.*
*He was able to sync himself somewhat to a techno beat, which is basically a glorified metronome but nonetheless slightly more complex.
However, he had no problem locking his movements to the beat of a metronome and could bounce with a consistent tempo without music, while showing normal levels of pitch and tonal perception. He demonstrated normal intelligence, presented no history of neurological or psychiatric disorders and showed so signs of obvious cognitive deficits. It seems Matthieu's deficit is specific to perceiving the underlying pulse in a piece of music and moving his body to it. In other words, he's got beat (rhythm) deafness.
Scientists have been aware of the condition for quite a while.
In an Australian Medical Journal from 1890, a surgeon from the Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital in Melbourne described a case of rhythm deafness in a 27-yr. old farmer named W.M.:
(Unlike Matthieu, the farmer's deficit was much less selective; he also suffered from tone deafness and had severely reduced pain sensitivity)
More recently, Oliver Sacks touched upon rhythm blindness in his book Musiciophilia:
Google and PubMed searches find numerous casual references to "rhythm deafness", but this does seem to be the first well documented case in the scientific literature. So, if its been talked about for so long but documented so infrequently, how rare is it?
Lead author Jessica Phillips-Silver suggested that it might be as rare as tone deafness, which affects about 4 to 5% of the population. If that's the case, it could be a real challenge locating enough participants to conduct an fMRI study, which would help reveal the neural regions implicated in the condition. But the research team is confident, in part due to ample press coverage of the paper, that they'll find more subjects.
So, what might an fMRI study reveal about the condition?
A 2005 study (Brown) examining the neural substrates of dance points to one possibility. In this study, subjects lay in a PET scanner and danced a tango with their legs only, both accompanied by music and free form (without music).
Participants in the dancing-to-music condition showed BOLD activation suggesting that audio-motor entrainment might be mediated through a connection between subcortical auditory areas and the cerebellum. This would make sense give that one of the primary functions of the cerebellum is to coordinate motor actions, particularly precision and accurate timing, by receiving input from the sensory system and integrating those incoming signals to execute fine tuned motor activity.
The authors suggest that the deficit might be primarily perceptual and point to the fact that he failed on a task which did not require body movement, nor does not have any basic motor impairments They also suggest that basal ganglia connections between auditory and motor cortices could play a role, particularly the dorsal auditory pathway leading to the dorsal premotor cortex. Silver and colleagues already have some neuroimaging work underway with Matthieu.
As for future directions, Silver-Phillips said that her group will be looking at exactly what level of musical complexity is required for Matthieu's beat deafness to emerge. They're also interested in exploring whether there is any sign of entrainment occurring on a neuronal level, even in the face of the behavioral deficit. In other words, maybe his neurons are dancing to the beat even if he's not.

Smoking makes impulsive teen rats even more impulsive
It's one of the truisms of human life that teenagers often do silly, stupid and/or dangerous things. We certainly don't need science to tell us that. One reason this seems to be the case is that, on average, teens have trouble optimally weighing risk vs. reward. I'm not excluding myself from this characterization. In fact, I sometimes marvel that I survived my teen years intact, if at all.
One stupid thing I and many of my friends did as teenagers was to try smoking.
There are no rational arguments in favor of smoking. Yet, according to one study, most adult smokers start before age 19 and 70% of all adolescents report trying a cigarette at least once. Messages directed to adolescents and teens against smoking often fall on deaf ears. In addition to subpar decision making skills, many teens hold the advice of their elders in low regard and are apt to pick up a cigarette as an act of defiance or as a show of their burgeoning adulthood. Hollywood films certainly contribute to the smoking mythology through their noble portrayals of troubled, rebellious or misunderstood teens reaching for smokes when the chips are down.
Although the health risks associated with smoking are widely known, a recent Nature Neuroscience study has provided even more reasons for teens to avoid smoking. Researchers from the Netherlands found that in adolescent rats, exposure to smoking led to increased and long lasting impulsiveness and impaired measures of attention in adulthood. In contrast, adult animals exposed to similar levels of nicotine did not show these long term effects. So, the impulsiveness that might lead a teen to try smoking could be increased by the very product of that impulsiveness, creating a vicious feedback cycle. Nasty business.
What's the molecular mechanism? A proteomic analysis of 297 different mPFC proteins in adolescent rats who had exposure to smoking showed that levels of mGLuR2 was downregulated. mGluR2 is a metabotropic glutamatergic receptor that sits on the presynaptic side of synapses in the mPFC, a brain region important for cognitive control and attention. Adolescent nicotine exposure resulted in decreased mGLuR2 signaling and reduced plasticity in the mPFC. This was shown to be directly related to attentional deficits by a rescue experiment in which a glutamate agonist was injected into the mPFC in vivo. The agonist restored attentional performance to normal levels but didn't affect impulsiveness.
In sum, the adolescent brain is more susceptible to the consequences of smoking via alteration of synaptic mGluR2 protein levels. It's known that nicotine exerts its initial effects on the brain through nicotinic acetylcholine receptor activation and this study suggests that adolescents are uniquely vulnerable to increased activation of these receptors.
The researchers acknowledge that the sequence of molecular events is unknown, but speculate that "…mGluR2 levels following nicotine exposure at the end of adolescence compensate for nicotine's actions and inhibit neurotransmitter release." One caveat to keep in mind is that it's unknown the extent to which this effect would be replicated in humans. Another important point is that in this experiment, nicotine was dissolved in solution and administered subcutaneously. Cigarettes contain many other carcinogens and toxins to which adolescents could be particularly vulnerable, so the long-term cognitive effects of cigarette smoking could extend far beyond those uncovered in this study, which looked just at nicotine.
The takeaway message is definitely clear: Parents, do everything you can to keep your kids from smoking!*
*I'm an advocate for making the sale of tobacco and tobacco related products illegal. Tobacco offers no clear benefits to society, with the exception of a few thousand jobs and the enrichment of a couple handfuls of business executives, while incurring great economic costs to the nation as a whole. Although nicotine has shown some cognitive benefits to individuals in certain disease states, all in all its mostly detrimental. (I'm a member of that most annoyingly vociferous group of anti-smoking activists: ex-smokers. Maybe we're so adamant because we know how hard it is to quit!) That long-term cognitive deficits are now being shown to accrue in cigarette smoking teens is hopefully another nail in the coffin of the tobacco industry and smoking culture in general, which will perhaps be looked back upon as a sign of the special ignorance of our times.
