Ten Ways to Be a Tourist in Miami
These buns were on SoBe for spring break.
George Martinez
In 2014, Miami-Dade County made an estimated $23.8 billion in tourist money. That's an almost astronomical figure. It's 317,333 times more than Justin Bieber blew at King of Diamonds that same year. It's enough to rent a room at the The Villa, Casa Casuarina (known to everyone as simply the Versace Mansion) every day for the rest of your life and still pay for the construction of more than a few Miami World Centers.
It suffices to say the Magic City is beloved by tourists. But what about us locals? We live where the rest of the world vacations – or at least within driving distance of it. Yet how often do we really take advantage of that fact? We are primed for staycation living, but we're often too busy screaming at one another in traffic to care.
Enough is enough. Grab your city by the horns and ride it into the sunset, all summer long. Don't know where to start? Check these picks for ten ways to be a tourist in your own city. Do it all; then Instagram it. Your friends in Broward will hate you.
Hop on or off this Big Bus Tour whenever you want.

10. Learn something about your city on the Big Bus Tour.
Admit it — you've always wondered what these double-decker tour guides are talking about. You see them driving all over, from Calle Ocho to Collins Avenue, but you've never hopped on. Why would you? To learn something illuminating, of course. What better way to spice up your relationship with Miami than by learning a few of its hidden historical secrets? Tickets cost $45 for adults and $30 for children and are good for 48 hours, including all three routes and 40-plus stops. Hop on and off as you see fit. The bus might even drop you off by your home.
9. Drink your way through Wynwood on the Miami Brew Bus.
South Florida's brew scene is hopping – get it? Hops? (We crack ourselves up.) Honestly, there are tons of delicious suds bubbling up in our backyard, and the best way to taste them all is on a tour. Of course, you can't drink and drive, so let the Miami Brew Bus do the hard part. There are two routes to choose from. Highway to Hops costs $65 and takes you to Broward to enjoy Funky Buddha Brewery, LauderAle, and back home for Wynwood Brewing. Expressway to Brews costs $60 and visits Miami Rum Club, J.
This is not a mirage. Vizcaya is actually this beautiful

8. Travel back in time at Vizcaya Museum & Gardens.
Built between 1914 and 1922 as the summer home for businessman John Deering, this 43-acre estate is a veritable tropical paradise. The botanical gardens feature imported fauna from France and Italy intermingled among the Cuban limestone and Floridian coral edifices. In 2008, it was recognized by the National Trust for Historic Preservation as one of the country's Eleven Most Endangered Historic Places, mostly due to the encroachment of nearby high-rise development. Protective measures have been taken, but it's a reminder that beautiful things are best enjoyed today over tomorrow. Admission is $18 for adults and $6 for kids aged 6 through 12, and free for those 5 and younger.

This kid will someday demand vengeance for these photos.
A mother recently posted a collection of pictures featuring her seven-month-old son in a drag-queen like get-up. Although she probably wasn't going for that particular look, it's the first thing that comes to mind once you see these terrifying photos.
Thankfully, this mother didn't apply any actual make-up on her son. In-fact, these are all doings of an iPhone makeover app.
"No makeup touched Gabriel's skin so don't worry. He is a very, very loved little boy. I intentionally take/use photos of him pulling faces and gurning because I live to amuse myself," [sic] reads the post.
Even though this isn't nearly as disturbing as some other things that parents have pulled off on their children, this collection is still quite creepy.
No matter what his mother's intentions were, these pictures will surely come back to torment this kid in his adult life.
Meanwhile, let's hope we have seen the end of this trend.

Inks and Substrates
technology that puts ink on paper—past, present, and future of inkjet inks,
presses, and
Putting ink on paper.It sounds easy enough. In fact, we
give the relationship of ink to paper little thought when we jot a note or hit
print on our keyboard, but in fact, from the earliest days when the Chinese and
Egyptians developed the first inks, the technology has been an ever-evolving
The Evolution of Ink
The ink used in inkjet technology is water-based;oil-based ink would
wreak havoc with the highly sensitive print heads of computer printers. However,
early water-based inks were prone to smudging and running, but since then there
have been enormous improvements in ink chemistry. For years,there was
tremendous give and take among the pros and cons of this technology. The goal
has been for inkjet manufacturers to develop inks that provide high quality
images that last and can be printed on almost any media.
Early inks were colored with dyes; then, pigments became the
favored colorant despite the fact that particle size had to be reduced to avoid
clogging machines. Because pigments are composed of thousands of molecules
compared to a dye particle, which is made of a single molecule, pigmented inks
are tougher to break down. They also resist bleeding. As a result, pigment ink
lasts longer and resists fading. It is resistant to ultra violet light; can be
applied to a wider variety of surfaces; and will perform better in outdoor
applications and under adverse conditions, such as temperature fluctuations. The
fact that pigment inks are both lightfast and waterproof has driven their
worldwide development.
"The secret to this is ink chemistry, and most inkjet
manufacturers will jealously protect their own formulas. Companies like
Hewlett-Packard, Canon, and Epson invest large sums of money in research to make
continual advancements in ink pigments, qualities of lightfastness and
waterfastness, and suitability for printing on a wide variety of media,"
according to PCGuide.com.
There's no better example than in Epson's ongoing product
development. Epson launched its first color printer, the Stylus Color, in 1994.
It was the first desktop inkjet printer that produced photographic quality
prints. As photo quality printing evolved, Epson realized it needed to make
photographs that had longevity of traditional silver prints. The launch of the
Stylus Photo 2000 and the Stylus Pro 7500/9500 brought a new type of pigment
ink, which Epson encapsulated in an acrylic resin. This encapsulated pigment ink
was the first pigment ink to be compatible with RC photo papers. Epson's latest
version of pigment ink, UltraChrome, has the gamut of dye and the longevity of
"Epson has the only long life high gamut ink set, with
longevity over a full range of products. Some competitors have a single media
type that can boost longevity, but only Epson has a full range of media that
have great longevity," says Greg McCoy, senior product marketing manager,
professional supplies at Epson America, Inc.
Dennis Moore, senior color specialist at xpedx's National
Technology Headquarters for Digital Imaging and its resident expert on inkjet
proofing technology, likes Epson's UltraChrome ink set. "It has a nicer gamut to
it than the older pigment ink set, which was narrower in its range. Originally,
with the Epson ink set and to some degree with Hewlett-Packard's, there was a
noticeable drifting of the ink as seen by the eye in three to four days. Epson's
UltraChrome ink set has a wider gamut and longer-term stability. Now, Epson
proofers with the UltraChrome ink set are among the leaders."
Substrates, while numerous in types, aren't nearly as complicated as
inks. Basically, there are two types of paper: porous and non-porous. Because
non-porous papers are coated, inks can take longer to dry. Inks dry almost
instantly on papers using microporous coatings because it is absorbed into the
surface and held there. However, the paper is so absorbent that it is more
susceptible to fading from harmful light and ozone.
Paper pre-conditioning is among one of the solutions to
heightening printed image quality. Pre-conditioning seeks to improve inkjet
quality on plain paper by priming the media to receive ink with an agent that
binds pigment to the paper, reducing dot gain and smearing. Regardless of the
type of media, this is the goal everyone is after.
Like inks, many inkjet printer makers sell their own
proprietary brands of paper that are guaranteed to run through their equipment
and deliver optimum results. The downside is cost. Everyone likes to save money
by opting for the less expensive generic brands; it is a trend that equipment
manufacturers strongly urge consumers to resist. Their rationale is that only
the manufacturer can design the three components—printer, ink, and paper—to work
together to achieve optimum results.
Moore says that Epson's new proofing media, Epson Proofing
Semi-Matte, works with the UltraChrome ink set, but adds that Dupont, GMG, IBM,
Kodak Polychrome Graphics, and Mitsubishi have also developed papers for the
proofing market. "You see a lot of competition in this market, but it is
dominated by Dupont and Epson at this point."
McCoy states that Epson is unique in that it offers
technology dedicated to the high-end user. "Epson creates a full printing
system, printer, inks, media, and drivers to make it easy for our customers to
create high quality, high permanence prints and a full range of
Wide Format Printers
Inkjet technology is constantly evolving, and leading the way are the
product manufacturers. Agfa was the first to develop a special inkjet media that
works with water-based dye inks and ensures color stability and high quality
"Agfa had many firsts over the years, particularly in our
largest segment, the graphic arts market, and we hold in the neighborhood of
2,000 patents in the graphic arts industry," says Deborah Hutcheson, senior
marketing manager, digital solutions, Agfa Corporation, Graphic Systems. In
fact, "Agfa was the first to introduce a closed loop inkjet printing solution
for proofing and wide format solutions." Agfa makes printers, inks, and media,
as well as the software that governs it all.
Encad is another company that has its share of firsts. Encad
introduced the world's first low-cost, wide format color inkjet printer, the
NovaJet, in 1991. Since then, more than 100,000 Encad printers have been sold,
making Encad the most common printer found in service bureaus, signmakers,
exhibit houses, and photo labs all over the world. Two years later, Encad
introduced the NovaJet II, the first affordable four-color, photo-realistic,
wide format printer, which opened new possibilities in design and graphics. In
1998, the company introduced the Encad Digital Textile Printing System, allowing
for printing directly on fabric. Now, images could be transferred to fabric in
minutes where before it had taken weeks or even months.
In 2001, Encad and Kodak joined forces and now encompasses a
wide format company that manufactures printers, inks, and media. "We're still
pushing the boundaries of wide format printing, continuing development and new
technology in printers, inks, and media. As you look back on our history, you'll
see that the one thing we've always done, is look ahead," says Barry Lathan,
CEO, Encad, Inc.
Digital Printing Papers
Among those paving the way in the area of digital printing papers is
Enterprise Group, a Weyerhaeuser Business. Enterprise Group is an industry
leader in the development and sale of digital printing papers. "(We're)
successful in the digital market because of our relationships with OEMs
(original equipment manufacturers), digital printer manufacturers, as well as
post-processing equipment manufacturers," says Jim Saxenmeyer, digital business
product development manager.
Enterprise Group offers digital lightweight papers, a
variety of digital printing papers, and book publishing papers for a variety of
digital printing applications including transactional printing, direct-mail, and
book publishing. "No other manufacturer offers the full product line that
Enterprise Group offers," states Saxenmeyer. "Many of Enterprise Group grades
are OEM certified."
The Xerox Supplies Business Group continues to develop
digital optimized paper and specialty media. The newest development includes
expanding the Digital Color Xpressions paper line by adding an 80 lb. cover and
additional multiple weights of 20.5 x 14.33 inch paper, the largest size paper
that can be run on the Xerox iGen3 Digital Production Press. Digital Color
Xpressions, a line of uncoated papers, is ideal for applications such as
brochures, direct mailers, and internal newsletters. It comes in a broad range
of sizes, weights, and colors.
Consistent with its ongoing commitment to environmental
responsibility, Xerox has also enhanced its Multipurpose Pastel Paper with the
addition of a line of papers containing 30 percent post-consumer waste that
meets all government requirements for recycled paper. Xerox continues to assure
customers the same level of quality and performance as previously non-recycled
Display Graphics
InteliCoat Technologies has earned a reputation over the last decade
for producing innovative, highly productive digital imaging products for the
market under the Magic brand name. InteliCoat gets into a range of applications
including exhibit displays, transit and point-of-purchase (POP) advertising,
banners and signs, proofing, wallcoverings, and fine art reproductions. Among
the notable milestones achieved by InteliCoat was the introduction of PRINTLAM,
a printable polyester laminate with a dual-purpose adhesive/image-receptive coating that offers a single-step finishing solution
for indoor/outdoor promotional and display graphics.
Also, Magic DMFTP, a thin overlaminate film with Fluorex brand protection,
enables users to more easily and cost-effectively achieve high-quality
protection for their flexible graphics. InteliCoat also offered the first
media-specific customized ICC profiles designed to guarantee outstanding color
results when used with Magic products.
"InteliCoat's Magic products are the highest performing,
most reliable digital imaging media on the market. In addition to technologies
and products, we bring a deep understanding of the needs and aspirations of our
digital imaging customers, which drives our product development," says Ed
McCarron, product manager, display media. "Our technical and application
expertise enables us to help our customers achieve the greatest value from their
wide format digital printers."
Fine Art Digital Paper
Among InteliCoat's most recent offerings is its Magiclée line of
inkjet media for fine art and photo reproduction applications. The Magiclée line
features digital printing substrate choices that include fine art papers, photo
art papers, glossy and matte canvas, gloss and lustre quick-drying photobase,
and presentation grade matte papers.
Hawk Mountain Papers is another contender in this market. It
makes 100 percent cotton, acid-free/lignin-free, made in the USA, mould-made,
thick, textured papers, fine art digital photo and print papers. Presently, they
are working with specialty paper mills in the U.S. to make cotton paper for
inkjet applications and develop proprietary inkjet receptive
Wide Format Supplies
At GRAPH EXPO, Xerox announced a line of wide format paper and
specialty media specifically designed to maximize print quality on wide format
printers including the new Xerox 8160 and 8142 Wide Format Color printers. The
new line consists of more than 30 products including photo papers, films,
banners, canvas, and presentation and poster papers used by graphic arts
professionals to create materials such as posters, signs, banners, and POP
"We're opening new doors for our customers and allowing them
to explore all the possibilities that wide format color printing has to offer,"
said Nancy Rees, senior VP, Xerox Supplies Business Group. "With the range of
media and Xerox wide format technology, graphic communications professionals can
produce high-quality pieces that will impress even the toughest
The Next Generation
"There are always more improvements on the ink and papers as well,"
says Epson's McCoy, who is quick to add that he predicts, "faster and more
affordable are in the works." He also thinks that the inkjet market will take
over the traditional silver halide technology in the next five years.
"Solvent inkjet is the fastest growing technology in the
outdoor sign market," forecasts McCarron. "We also see digital printing emerging
in new industry segments. Fine art and packaging are two good examples. The
digital printing technology offers printers an excellent means of producing high
quality short run or custom imaging in a timely and cost-efficient manner. This
means that it is now possible for artists to produce art reprints one to a few
hundred at a time as needed. Packaging designers can use the digital technology
to easily create 3D-realistic packaging prototypes at a fraction of the cost for
traditional proofing methods."
"I do expect a continued increase in ecosolvent and solvent
printers to occur in the industry," concurs Lathan. "They've been making
significant inroads in both indoor and outdoor applications, and have a
widespread acceptance in the marketplace."
Will inkjet technology be surpassed by solid ink technology?
Xerox thinks so. It has pioneered the development of solid ink technology, which
is an alternative to inkjet and laser technologies in the office. "Introduced
over 12 years ago, Xerox's exclusive solid ink technology is not only a viable,
affordable option for those companies looking to add color to their business
documents, but it has also become a competitive force in the industry. Solid ink
adds value to businesses," says Chris Iburg, director, printer marketing, Xerox
Office Group, Xerox Corporation. "It is the only printing technology that can
create brilliant, vibrant prints on a wide range of media. It is the easiest
technology on the market to use. It is the only technology that produces minimal
waste. And, with a low entry price and cost per page, solid ink printers truly
give customers the most value for their money."
Xerox's solid ink products serve small and midsized
businesses as well as workgroups within the enterprise. In addition, solid ink
printers are popular in industries requiring high-quality color printing on
demand, such as real estate, advertising, and graphic arts. It offers reliable
print quality on a broad range of media, including cardstock, envelopes, and
transparencies, as well as recycled paper and custom page sizes.
"Solid ink technology's advanced printing architecture,
simplicity, and ease of use set it apart from competitive printers," says Iburg.
"Other companies have tried to compete with Xerox's long history of color
expertise, but none have come close to matching the convenience and quality
offered by solid ink technology. Low-end inkjet devices are slower, more costly,
and create considerably more waste than solid ink. Additionally, output produced
on an inkjet printer is likely to smear without sufficient drying time."
In the area of inkjet head technology, "We see that piezo
systems will continue to evolve, expanding the latitude of the head to support
different ink types offering less constraints and more functional freedom both
for the developer and as well as the end user," says Hutcheson. "Agfa expects
that there will be a strong tendency towards UV inkjet systems over the next
three to five years. This is due to the idea that it offers better adhesion to
uncoated media, ultimately reducing the total cost of production."
"Agfa expects the wide format inkjet market to continue to
expand as the total cost of ownership (TCO) of the systems come down and
productivity increases. The growth, in some part, will be at the expense of the
traditional technologies such as offset and screen printing. The quality and
productivity of inkjet will continue to improve exponentially, making it a
viable solution for more and more applications."
Lathan agrees. "We expect that there will be continued
demand for printers that offer low TCO, benchmark speed, as well as, image
quality that exceeds customer requirements for a wide variety of applications.
With speed, comes requirements for media that supports a variety of
applications; so, we will see a continued focus on new, hybrid media that will
increase sales."
"As UV systems take hold, we look toward future developments
in this area with UV systems that provide a wider color gamut, more vibrant
colors, and the ability to print flexible and maybe even stretchable media, once
again expanding the capabilities of inkjet and reducing the cost production,"
says Hutcheson. He sees a breakthrough in aqueous or water-based inks to improve
the scratch resistance and printability on uncoated vinyls. Enterprise's
Saxenmeyer agrees that the next generation of inkjets will be high-speed
water-based systems.
"In the next five years, there is a potential for
substantial growth," predicts Saxenmeyer.
Xerox's Iburg says that inkjet's areas of strength—wide
format printing and home use—will remain strong in the future, but predicts the
continuing decline of the office inkjet market. "As the cost of other printing
technologies like laser and solid ink continue to be driven down, inkjet will
eventually be phased out of the office."
"At Encad, we certainly feel positive about the growth
opportunity in wide format printing and see a continuing drift toward inkjet
being the common migration path for many output needs, such as point of sale
display, proofing, and photographic enlargement. In addition, I expect an
expanding market opportunity in the photographic and proofing space," says
"Everything I'm reading leads me to believe
inkjet is taking on more and more of the printing dollar," says Moore. "As far
as the future of proofing goes, you'll see inkjet proofing taking a lot of the
business from laser printers. Clients no longer want to pay top dollar for a
proof when they know when they can get just as good and acceptable results with
an inkjet proof. Inkjet has a good future in front of

The ANU WellBeing study: a protocol for a quasi-factorial randomised controlled trial of the effectiveness of an Internet support group and an automated Internet intervention for depression
Recent projections suggest that by the year 2030 depression will be the primary cause of disease burden among developed countries. Delivery of accessible consumer-focused evidenced-based services may be an important element in reducing this burden. Many consumers report a preference for self-help modes of delivery. The Internet offers a promising modality for delivering such services and there is now evidence that automated professionally developed self-help psychological interventions can be effective. By contrast, despite their popularity, there is little evidence as to the effectiveness of Internet support groups which provide peer-to-peer mutual support.
Members of the community with elevated psychological distress were randomised to receive one of the following: (1) Internet Support Group (ISG) intervention, (2) a multi-module automated psychoeducational and skills Internet Training Program (ITP), (3) a combination of the ISG and ITP, or (4) an Internet Attention Control website (IAC) comprising health and wellbeing information and question and answer modules. Each intervention was 12 weeks long. Assessments were conducted at baseline, post-intervention, 6 and 12 months to examine depressive symptoms, social support, self-esteem, quality of life, depression literacy, stigma and help-seeking for depression. Participants were recruited through a screening postal survey sent to 70,000 Australians aged 18 to 65 years randomly selected from four rural and four metropolitan regions in Australia.
To our knowledge this study is the first randomised controlled trial of the effectiveness of a depression ISG.
Trial registration
Current Controlled Trials ISRCTN65657330.
It has been projected that depression will be the leading cause of disease burden in 2030
It is likely that the undertreatment of depression is due in part to lack of availability and accessibility of services
There is some evidence that self help interventions delivered online can be effective in reducing depressive symptoms
Research into the effectiveness of online interventions for depression has been focused primarily on applications designed to deliver psychological skills training. However, the widespread availability of the Internet has stimulated the development of a large number of online 'mutual support' or 'self help support' groups. Such support groups have been estimated by Eysenbach to be used by 'millions' of consumers daily
A recent systematic review of depression ISGs identified no randomised controlled trials of the effectiveness of the groups, for individuals with depression, in reducing depressive symptoms or in improving other psychological, mental health, service-related or other outcomes
It is possible however, that the primary effect of depression support groups is on outcomes other than symptomatology. For example, it is often claimed that support groups increase consumer empowerment and social support
One potential limitation of fully automated online programs is the likelihood of substantial dropout during their unguided use
A final limitation of available research is that the majority of randomised controlled studies of e-mental health programs have employed wait list control groups
Objectives of the ANU WellBeing study
The primary objectives of the study are to (i) evaluate the efficacy of a depression Internet Support Group (ISG) and an automated psychoeducational and skills Internet Training Program (ITP) for reducing depressive symptoms relative to a plausible Internet Attention Control condition (IAC); to evaluate the relative efficacy of the ITP, ISG and combined ITP and ISG interventions; and (iii) to ascertain if the adherence rates and magnitude of improvement in depressive symptoms is greater for the ISG and ITP interventions combined than for either condition alone.
Secondary objectives of the study are to (i) evaluate the effect of the two experimental interventions on anxiety, disability, social support, loneliness, self-esteem, empowerment, loneliness, depression literacy, stigma and help seeking in people with elevated depressive sympotms; and (ii) to compare the outcomes of these interventions in rural and metropolitan residents.
Trial Design
Members of the community with elevated levels of depressive symptoms were randomised in a 2 by 2 quasi-factorial design to receive either the ISG, the ITP, a combination of the ISG and IPT or a plausible internet-based attention control (IAC) (see Table
Table 1

Approval to conduct the trial was granted by The Australian National University Human Research Ethics Committee (Protocol 2007/2259). The study protocol is registered with the Controlled Clinical Trials registry (ISRCTN65657330).
Participant recruitment
Participants in the ANU WellBeing Study have been recruited via postal invitation and survey of 70,000 adults aged between 18 to 65 years who were randomly selected from the electoral rolls of four rural and four metropolitan Australian electoral divisions. Registration on the electoral roll is compulsory for all Australian citizens. Participants were selected from the division list using the 'select cases' random selection facility in SPSS. The metropolitan samples comprised registrants from one electoral division in Canberra, The Australian Capital Territory; two electoral divisions in Melbourne, Victoria (Maribyrnong, Higgins); and one division in Sydney, NSW (Bennelong). The rural divisions were located in Victoria (Indi, Murray) and New South Wales (Hume, Riverina). Divisions were selected from those which had a moderate (51%) to high proportion (>62.2%) of households with internet access
The screening survey was accompanied by a letter and brochure which described both an enclosed 'WellBeing' screening survey and an intervention project ("The Wellbeing Promotion Study"). The participant was informed that the WellBeing survey was designed to 'find out more about the mental health of Australians in the city as well as in rural areas' and that the WellBeing Promotion Study was designed to 'look at the usefulness of self help internet programs for improving emotional well being and preventing or reducing the symptoms of depression'.
Survey respondents who met the eligibility criteria for the WellBeing study (see Table
Table 2
Inclusion and exclusion criteria for the WellBeing trial
Age 18 to 65 years
Self-reported current or imminent treatment from a mental health professional or mutual support group at the time of recruitment.
Kessler Psychological distress (K10) score > 22
Current treatment with Cognitive Behaviour Therapy.
Home or work access to the Internet
Self-reported current or past experience with or diagnosis of psychosis, schizophrenia or bipolar disorder.
Consent to participate
Current or prior participation in another project conducted by the lead investigator's research centre.
Eligible individuals who agreed on the telephone to participate in the project were randomised (see below) to one of the four trial conditions and were sent an information sheet about the project and the intervention conditions together with a consent form. At this point, however, neither they, their interviewer nor the project coordinator were informed of their randomisation status. Randomisation prior to consent and completion of the pre-intervention was undertaken for pragmatic reasons as the trial required the participants in the internet support groups to commence simultaneously. Undertaking stratified randomisation post-consent and post-baseline survey would have either introduced a significant delay between screening and baseline measures and the commencement of the intervention or reduced the available pool of participants.
Those participants who returned consent forms were sent a letter informing them of the condition to which they had been randomised together with a 14 or 15 page user guide containing a week by week overview of their intervention, a 'Frequently Asked Questions' section and a 'Technical Tips' page.
Recruitment to the WellBeing Study was conducted in three waves (Pilot, Wave 1, Wave 2) between August 2008 and May 2009. A subsample of 7000 surveys (randomly selected from the two metropolitan divisions of Canberra and Maribyrnong and the two rural divisions of Murray and Indi) were employed to pilot the survey and protocol. After the successful completion of the intervention phase of the pilot, a further 28,000 surveys were sent to residents in the above divisions. Since these screening surveys did not yield the target sample size for the study, a further 35,000 surveys were sent to the divisions of Bennelong, Higgins, Murray and Riverina.
The Interventions
The study involved four intervention conditions comprising the two intervention programs presented singly and in combination and an attention-control website administered over a 12 week period. Although a module could not be accessed until the week scheduled for its delivery, it remained open for the remainder of the 12 week intervention period and for 12 months from the commencement of the intervention. Participants in the attention control condition were provided with access to the ITP after the 6-month follow-up assessment. The ITP, ISG and IAC conditions employed the e-couch, WellBeing Board and HealthWatch websites respectively. The weekly content of each intervention websites is summarised in Table

The depression literacy module contained information about the symptoms and types of depression and their diagnosis, sources of help, information about the prevalence and disability burden associated with depression, depression risk factors, and evidence-based medical, psychological and lifestyle treatments for depression based on updated systematic reviews and clinical practice guidelines. The self help module comprised online versions of treatments amendable to delivery online and known to be effective in face-to-face therapy, bibliotherapy or computerised or Internet delivery. These included: (a) cognitive behaviour therapy; (b) interpersonal therapy; (c) applied relaxation; and (d) physical activity. An example page from the research version of e-couch is illustrated in Figure

ISG: WellBeing Board
The WellBeing Board is a research ISG which uses a bulletin board format to facilitate discussions. It was developed for the trial based on the primary author's experience in running a public ISG and a thematic analysis of a randomly selected subset of topics on that board. The WellBeing board was divided into three main categories: Your Wellbeing, Feeling Better and General. Each week one, or in the case of weeks 8 and 11, two new forums or topics were introduced for each category in turn (see Table
Participants were instructed to login to the website at least twice a week, read any new messages that had been posted, and contribute a minimum of four posts/messages a week. They were also encouraged to login to the WellBeing Board website as often as they wished, to introduce additional topics for discussion and to continue discussions across weeks.
A detailed list of the WellBeing board rules appeared when the participant first registered on the board and was available at all times on the Board home page and in the participant's manual. Discussion of suicide, self harm and other traumatic topics was not permitted. Participants were requested to use pseudonyms and to refrain from posting any material that might identify them. Links and email addresses were filtered out of posts and signatures using an automated script.
The Board was moderated by a member of the WellBeing trial staff who enforced the rules but did not participate in the board discussion. The entry page of the WellBeing Board is illustrated in Figure

ISG + ITP: WellBeing Board plus e-couch
The combined intervention involved the delivery of both e-couch and a dedicated WellBeing Board each week over the 12 week intervention period. The trial protocol including reminders was identical to that for the individual conditions. To prevent contamination across conditions separate ISGs were used for the combined intervention and ISG-only conditions. The combined condition ISG also differed from the single ISG intervention condition in that it incorporated an additional forum designed for participants to discuss their experiences on e-couch.
IAC: HealthWatch
In the absence of a suitable existing web-based attention control condition, the HealthWatch website was purpose built for the WellBeing trial. It comprised 12 modules, each consisting of two online components.
The first component involved a series of online questions probing factors potentially related to depression and wellbeing. This component was modified and extended to 12 modules from a previously reported 5 module telephone control condition
The second component of the each weekly website module contained online information about a series of 12 topics related to wellbeing. The content in this component of the modules was adapted for Australian use from publications of the National Institute of Health and other US government sources which permit public use. Material was chosen which addressed topics relevant to wellbeing but which contained no or minimal information about interventions for depression or stress.
Participants were instructed to log onto the website each week to respond to the questions in first component of the module, and then to read the material in the second. An example page from HealthWatch website is shown in Figure

Intervention Study Procedure
All participants who provided written consent were sent a user ID and password by automated email. A second automated email sent one week prior to the commencement of the intervention directed them to log onto the website to complete the online baseline survey.
Each of the four conditions was then delivered over a period of 12 weeks. Participants received a weekly automated email informing them when the next module of their program was available. Those who failed to log onto the module were sent an email reminder four days after the initial email. Those who failed to log in thereafter received a telephone reminder from their interviewer. The current week's module was only available after first completing the modules assigned in the preceding week or weeks.
At the end of the 12-week trial, an automatic email was sent to participants requesting that they complete the post-intervention survey. Reminders were sent according to the protocol employed at baseline. Further follow up using this protocol was undertaken at 6 months and 12 months after the commencement of the intervention. The flow of participants is shown in Figure

Randomisation sequence
Potential participants were randomised using a stratified block design with stratification by level of psychological distress (high/low distress level on K10), gender (male, female, uncommitted), and location of residence (metropolitan/rural). Randomization schemes with a fixed block size of four were generated for each strata using the web site Randomization.com

Demographic and other measures
A number of other measures were collected in the screening survey. These included
Planned data analysis and sample size
The WellBeing trial aimed to recruit and randomise 500 participants to four conditions (125 per group). The primary analysis will be undertaken on an intent-to-treat basis. Mixed-model repeated measures (MMRM) analyses will be used because this method has been demonstrated to be superior to using the last observation carried forward method for handling missing data in longitudinal designs
To our knowledge this study is the first RCT of the effectiveness of a depression ISG, the first to systematically investigate if participating in a peer-to-peer ISG improves adherence and outcomes and the first to investigate the comparative effectiveness for rural and metropolitan consumers of an automated psychological intervention. In addition, there have been no previous studies of effect of an automated online self-help program on consumer empowerment.
A second novel contribution of this trial is its use of a purpose constructed plausible, web-based attention control containing authoritative information. At the time of writing, we were not aware of any published RCTs of the efficacy of e-mental health interventions which employed such a control. As already noted, depression or mental health education websites are not the preferred control condition for studies of interventions for mental disorders as there is evidence that such information may improve mental health. We did consider referring control group users to existing websites with a 'wellbeing' theme. However, these websites were typically characterised by one or a number of limitations in that they contained content that: included potentially active components (such as exercise interventions); incorporated advertisements, which raises ethical issues when used in the context of a research trial; were typically not evidence-based, a further ethical concern; might change or be removed from the Internet; and was not subject to the control of the research team. Moreover, external websites could not be seamlessly integrated into our automated research trial processes and accordingly it would not have been possible to automatically track trial participant access and usage of these sites.
Status of the Trial
The trial was commenced in August 2008. Participants recruited in the pilot and wave 1 stages of the study have completed the 12-month follow-up. Participants recruited in the wave 2 stage have completed the 6-month follow-up with 12 month follow up due to be completed in May 2010.

Frontotemporal Disorders: Information for Patients, Families, and Caregivers
No single test, such as a blood test, can be used to diagnose a frontotemporal disorder. A definitive diagnosis can be confirmed only by a genetic test in familial cases or a brain autopsy after a person dies. To diagnose a probable frontotemporal disorder in a living person, a doctor—usually a neurologist, psychiatrist, or psychologist—will:
- record a person's symptoms, often with the help of family members or friends
- compile a personal and family medical history
- perform a physical exam and order blood tests to help rule out other similar conditions
- if appropriate, order testing to uncover genetic mutations
- conduct a neuropsychological evaluation to assess behavior, language, memory, and other cognitive functions
- use brain imaging to look for changes in the frontal and temporal lobes.
Different types of brain imaging may be used. A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan shows changes in the size and shape of the brain, including the frontal and temporal lobes. It may reveal other potentially treatable causes of the person's symptoms, such as a stroke or tumor. In the early stage of disease, the MRI may appear normal. In this case, other types of imaging, such as positron emission tomography (PET) or single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), may be useful. PET and SPECT scans measure activity in the brain by monitoring blood flow, glucose usage, and oxygen usage. Other PET scans can help rule out a diagnosis of Alzheimer's.
Frontotemporal disorders can be hard to diagnose because their symptoms—changes in personality and behavior and difficulties with speech and movement—are similar to those of other conditions. For example, bvFTD is sometimes misdiagnosed as a mood disorder, such as depression, or as a stroke, especially when there are speech or movement problems. To make matters more confusing, a person can have both a frontotemporal disorder and another type of dementia such as Alzheimer's disease. Also, since these disorders are rare, physicians may be unfamiliar with the relevant symptoms and signs.
Getting the wrong diagnosis can be frustrating. Without knowing their true condition, people with frontotemporal disorders may not get appropriate treatment to manage their symptoms. Families may not get the help they need. People lose valuable time needed to plan treatment and future care. The medical centers listed in Resources are places where people with frontotemporal disorders can be diagnosed and treated.
Researchers are studying ways to diagnose frontotemporal disorders earlier and more accurately. One area of research involves biomarkers, such as proteins or other substances in the blood or cerebrospinal fluid, which can be used to measure the progress of disease or the effects of treatment. Also being studied are ways to improve brain imaging, including seeing the tau protein, and neuropsychological testing. New diagnostic methods under study may help distinguish frontotemporal disorders from other types of dementia.

85 - 96 Final
Artest, Kings turn back Trail BlazersMar 14, 2008 - 5:50 AM By Tom Galland PA SportsTicker Contributing Writer
SACRAMENTO, California (Ticker) -- Despite an off night from their leading scorer, the Sacramento Kings' offense was clicking early once again.
Ron Artest scored 22 points and grabbed six steals to lead the Kings to their second straight win, a 96-85 win over the Portland Trail Blazers at Arco Arena on Thursday night.
Sacramento built on an impressive showing in a surprise road win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday, which ended a stretch of eight losses in nine games.
"We wanted to keep that energy from LA and basically we did that tonight," said point guard Beno Udrih, who scored 14 points and dished out seven assists. "We played hard 48 minutes and that's why we won."
Artest had four steals and connected on all four of his field goals in the first quarter to help Sacramento break out quickly, paving the way for the wire-to-wire win.
"I'm over the agony of the possibility of not making the playoffs," said Artest, who had missed two games with what was termed a sore foot before returning to face the Lakers. "I was pretty frustrated with that. Now I'm just going out there and playing hard."
"I'm kind of at a loss with this one," Portland coach Nate McMillan said. "The way we played blindsided me. I thought we had momentum going into the game. But to start the way we did was horrible."
Kings guard Kevin Martin, coming off a career-high 48 points in his last home game and Sacramento's leading scorer at 23 points per game, was held to six points on 2-of-11 shooting but it didn't matter.
"It was a great win for us," Martin said. "Everyone did their job, that's what we need to do every night. Everybody has pride in this locker room so we're not just going to let (teams) come in and get an easy win. We went down (to Los Angeles) and played hard and it carried over to tonight."
The Kings buried 71 percent of their shots in the first quarter to gain control, then extended the lead to 17 points just over five minutes into the second quarter as the Blazers went ice cold.
Portland missed 10-of-11 shots to start the quarter, helping the Kings grab a 58-44 lead at the break.
"We had three days to really get back to having a couple days of practiced and concentrated a lot on defense in those three days," Kings coach Reggie Theus said. "I think it showed tonight that we had some days (of) practice."
The Blazers held Sacramento without a field goal for a nine-minute stretch of the third quarter to claw back into the game. Brandon Roy tipped in his own miss with under 90 seconds left in the third to close the gap to 72-64.
Sacramento responded quickly, scoring the first six points of the fourth quarter for a 78-63 lead before the Blazers again rallied.
Portland third-year guard Jarrett Jack converted two free throws to cap an 8-0 run that pulled Portland within 80-73 with eight minutes to go.
Again, the Kings responded, pushing back to a 15-point lead. Artest's two-hand dunk at the three-minute mark sealed the win, putting the Kings ahead, 94-79.
Roy led Portland with 21 points, but the Blazers struggled with 39 percent shooting in the finale of a five-game road trip.
"We started the game off with four turnovers but were still in the ballgame," Roy said. "The starters came out and did not set the tone. Then the guys that came in off the bench did not come in and set it either. It just kind of snowballed after that. We just could not get a flow to our game tonight."

3 Ways to Identify Symptoms of Gastritis Inflammation
Gastritis is the medical term used to refer to inflammation of the stomach lining. It is a condition with a variety of causes, but regardless of its origin, the symptoms tend to be similar. You may feel nauseous or less hungry than usual. Some people find that they have unexplained weight loss. After eating a meal you might experience an uncomfortable sensation of fullness, particularly in your upper abdomen. Or you may notice that you are frequently bloated and belching excessively. People with gastritis often complain of indigestion, a burning or gnawing pain in the upper abdomen. Eating can either make this pain disappear or make it worse.
Gastritis can cause your stools to become darker. Occasionally, they may even contain blood. Bleeding caused by gastritis is rarely severe but should be checked out by a doctor as soon as possible.
Gastritis can be either acute or chronic, and you will experience slightly different symptoms depending on which type you have. Acute gastritis comes on suddenly and tends to result in a burning pain and nausea. Chronic gastritis develops over time. People with chronic gastritis are more likely to report feeling full easily, and the pain is generally a dull ache. It is possible to have chronic gastritis and not have any symptoms at all. If you are asymptomatic, it is much more difficult to get a diagnosis of gastritis.

Aidan Rafferty, the No. 1 offensive lineman in the District of Columbia, made a quartet of visits in the last six weeks and has two more coming in late March.
The 6-foot-6, 285-pound Rafferty, who plays at Gonzaga, added he speaks to Virginia and Virginia Tech the most, but Maryland, Pittsburgh, Boston College and Harvard are all in regular communication.
Louisville, NC State, Indiana and Syracuse also offered Rafferty, who is being recruited as an offensive tackle.
"I made visits to Maryland, Pittsburgh, Virginia and Virginia Tech (in the last few months)," he said. "I am going to Boston College and then also stopping at Harvard (March 25-26). I figured I have some Ivy League offers, so it would not be right for me to (dismiss) them without looking into it. I figured Harvard was close by, so I am going to see the school."
However, the schools closer to Rafferty are pushing the hardest.
He said Virginia and Virginia Tech were pushing the hardest, but Maryland is also showing a lot of interest. His mom attended Maryland, and the Terps continue to stress the importance of keeping the best talent from the area home.
"I don't know a lot of the (local) guys going there, but I know who they are," he said. "They talk about getting the top players to stay home. It is great to have an offer from the home school."
When Rafferty was offered in early February, he made a trip to campus and met with then-offensive line coach Dave Borbely. Since then, though, Borberly left and was replaced by Tyler Bowen.
"I would like to go and meet him and talk with him," Rafferty said. "I haven't had (much) contact with him."
As Rafferty goes through the feeling out process with Bowen, his knowledge and comfort at Virginia Tech is high. He made a recent visit to campus and toured the facilities and met with the coaching staff, but a special tour he received the day prior to his visit hit home the most.
"My sister goes there and she showed me around the campus," Rafferty said. "She was pointing stuff out. She is (recruiting) me hard to go there. She is always sending me stuff."
Virginia is also making an impact with Rafferty.
"The coaching staff is talking about needing leaders in the class, and how they are building," Rafferty said. "They say I could be one of guys to join the class early."
Rafferty said he does not have a time frame for a decision.

Sacramento Kings acquire Rudy Gay from Toronto

Rudy Gay and the Sacramento Kings both want the same thing: a fresh start.

The Raptors received point guard Greivis Vasquez and forwards Patrick Patterson, John Salmons and Chuck Hayes. The Kings also acquired center Aaron Gray and forward Quincy Acy.

text: Posted April 2, 2012 It sure wouldn't hurt to have 1 more WR who could be a serious addition to the offense. Smith, LaFell & Gettis should all contribe a lot, but I would like to see us get a guy round 4 or after who can retunr punts & develop into a quality receiver. To do that, it would have to be a guy who produced in college, but for some reason drops 4th round or lower. I don't think this is a priority, but if the right guy is there, I hope they go for it. I agree. I say 5th or later but pretty much agree. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've taken the latest changes to the guidelines released by the College Board for AP history courses and created a user-friendly APUSH DBQ Rubric for teachers to use while assessing their students' DBQs.
APUSH DBQ Instructional Video
I've created a video series explaining the new DBQ rubric that will be used on both the AP US History and AP European History exams this year. If you're not into Lord of the Rings, I apologize in advance!
Old DBQs Revised for the New Exam
The new AP US History DBQ not only has a new rubric, but also a different format. While the old format DBQs had 8-10 documents identified by letters, the new format DBQs have 7 documents identified by numbers. I have gone through some old DBQs and edited them in order to make them more compatible with the new rubric.
I've put a password on these files so that only teachers will be able to access them. If you are an AP teacher and would like the password, please sign up for my mailing list with your institutional e-mail address using the form to the right and I'll send you instructions on how to access these files.
Click an image below to download the DBQ.
APUSH Review Videos
In addition to producing rubrics and other instructional materials for APUSH students and teachers, I also post review lectures on my YouTube channel. Check out my AP US History Review playlist!

5 Things asks people to share a short list about what they're currently about, or interested in.
Moving Mountains is the name of Syrette Lew's Brooklyn-based design studio. Producing furniture, bags, and jewelry that centers somewhere between design, art, and industrial design, Moving Mountains is a refined nod to simplicity and functionality. The name Moving Mountains, Lew explains, is a tribute to the Hawaiian archipelago and its "imperceptible movement northwestward"; possibly the most explicit example of a geological phenomena.
1. Marcello Morandini
Recently a friend asked me to propose some ideas for a public art piece and I found myself really drawn to the work of Morandini. A quick Google image search will show you he is a jack of all trades, prolific in the fields of art, design and architecture. It's hard not to be mesmerized by his creations for he is a master visual illusionist, deftly wielding black and white forms to represent different types of movement.
2. Spicy Turkey Sandwich from Campbell Cheese and Grocery
This little joint is not that close to my studio but, I will go out of my way just to get this sandwich because it is hands down, my favorite sandwich: Smoked Turkey, Jalapeño Slaw, Prairie Breeze Cheddar, Berber Mayo, Ciabatta. Decadent it is, but not in a gross way. Get it, it's good!
3. The Book of American Windsor Furniture
You like meticulous hand-drawn orthographic drawings of Windsor chairs? Then this book is for you! I've designed more than a couple Windsor chairs in my time and this is what I consider to be the Bible. I don't remember where I found it but it's filled with the most beautiful drawings complete with dimensions for every angle and turning. I highly recommend this book for any aspiring Windsor chairmaker or designer. It's a goldmine.
4. David Attenborough's "Life of Mammals" series
I found this series on Netflix a couple weeks ago and became obsessed. It follows the evolution and habits of various mammal species over 10 episodes. Attenborough is a little hokey but it really is some of the best footage I've seen of animals in their natural habitat. Check out this whale mating segment. It starts off slow but prepare to be fascinated and slightly weirded out.
:Party Time" (B-side Version) by The Heptones
I have a very deep, deep love for rocksteady and roots reggae which generally comes out during the summer months. It's pure nostalgia for me and this jam in particular takes me instantly back to my days growing up in Hawaii. More like a lullaby than what the title suggests, it's the perfect wind down when driving back from a beach filled day. Imagine fatigued bodies, sweet ocean air, elbows out the window, surfboards piled up while the sun begins to set on the horizon...
Some images of Syrette's recent work:

If you need activation key for windows vista home premium edition, i suggest you to: http://www.cdekey.com/. The key is cheap and genuine.
Posted on Nov 24, 2015
That's not easy.More explain:
Previous Windows cracks have used leaked corporate activations keys to unlock Windows, which only really hurts Microsoft. This method actively steals a valid Product Key from Microsoft customers, because most keys can only be activated once. ing:
Call Customer Service Vista or Microsoft any of them, and they will step by step help and give a key to you.
Good luck!
