Actress Geena Davis, President of Argentina Cristina Fernández de Kirchner and Huawei Chairman Sun Yafang have been named winners of the 2012 ITU World Telecommunication and Information Society Award for their efforts promoting information and communications technology (ICT) to empower women and girls.
RECOGNITION: Whirlwind tour of telecom and computing's top honors, awards and prizes
SHOWTIME: Best/worst celebrity tech moments of 2011
The three women are being recognized in keeping with the theme of today's ITU World Telecommunication and Information Society Day.
"This year's theme, 'Women and Girls in ICT' aims to ensure that there is equal opportunity for all and that women and girls can play a greater role within the ICT sector," ITU Secretary-General Hamadoun Touré said in a statement. "We are determined to work with partners across all sectors of society to promote the full potential of ICTs for the benefit of women and girls. The ability of technology to empower women and girls in communities around the world is still largely untapped."
Under Argentina President Fernández's leadership, the country's National Telecommunication Plan has taken steps to better connect citizens. Huawei's Sun, chairman since 1999, has taken the company from a small local business to a global provider now facing off with the likes of Cisco and Juniper Networks around the world. She is actively involved in a variety of corporate responsibility programs as well as philanthropic activities and is an active member of the Broadband Commission for Digital Development. The Academy Award-winning Davis is founder of the nonprofit Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media, a research-based organization working within the media and entertainment industry to engage, educate and influence the need for gender balance, reducing stereotyping and creating a wide variety of female characters for entertainment targeting children 11 and under. Davis is ITU's special envoy for women and girls in the field of information and communication technology.
Past winners of the award have included the president of Finland, Mozilla Corp., and Internet pioneer Robert Kahn.
Bob Brown tracks network research in his Alpha Doggs blog and Facebook page, as well on Twitter and Google +.

Aron Ra is a prominent atheist on YouTube, and also the new Texas State Director for American Atheists. He and Thunderf00t, and the rest of the gang at the Magic Sandwich Show had me on as a guest just recently. It prompted an anonymous sailor to write in to Aron Ra, who forwarded it to me.
He's trying to deal with being in the atheist closet. It's time we all start calling this stuff out every time. If you can't speak out for whatever reason, at least report it to someone like me. I'll scream it into a megaphone for you.
Dear Friend,
I am writing today to make you aware of my situation. I am an Atheist, yes, that's right, an Atheist. I am also an active duty Sailor with the U.S. Navy.
You may be asking why this concerns you.
You might think that because you don't care, no-one else does.
You may be thinking that I should not be in the military.
You may be telling yourself that Atheists are evil, misguided or deluded.
You may think that Atheists don't have the courage or the "moral fiber" to be in the military.
I am here to tell you that all of the above is false.
It concerns you because no matter what country you are from, someone in your military, the people who protect you, is being persecuted, discriminated against or just disliked, just because they are different.
You would be wrong if you thought that because you don't care, 'why would anyone else?'
I have only been in the military for a short time, a little more than two years, yet in that time I have been in many occasions required to pray in public, required to listen and respond "Amen" after a blessing of food, and been in conversations with my superiors and been forced to respond in agreement to their comments on how Atheists are ruining America due to fear of reprisal based on how hateful their comments were.
My supervisor is a Christian, but he has never made any comments and I suppose I should be thankful about that, his supervisor has stated that Atheists are evil and should not exist, his supervisor made the comment I mentioned earlier about "Atheists ruining America", and his supervisor, who is our Director, has a degree in Theology and every comment from him has religious undertones.You would be wrong to think that I shouldn't be in the military. Why would you judge that because of my lack of belief I am not worthy of serving my country, that I am not worthy to die protecting your freedom to believe what you do?
You are most definitely wrong if you think that Atheists are "evil", if anyone could be called "evil" it would be those who would make a statement like that. I have known a few Atheists, I have never known one who would say that "Christians are evil" or "religious people are evil", They might make a statement regarding certain people being "evil", but would never go so far as to say that a whole group of people were "evil".
I personally don't believe in "good and evil" because I cant see the world as being made up of absolutes like that. I can certainly say that some thing are generally more "wrong" than others, for instance I would say that murder is almost always certainly wrong, but I can conceive of situations where there is a good reason to murder someone to better the cause of humanity in general. I can also conceive of situations where letting someone live is the most "wrong" thing to do.
You would be wrong to think that Atheists are not courageous. Of all the people I know, it is people who are vocal about being themselves, whether saying that they were Atheists, or saying that they were gay, or just saying that they were different and they accepted themselves as they were. I would also say that it takes no courage to stand with the crowd, to be the same as everyone else, it takes great courage to be the one by yourself alone on the hill with the crowd gathering around chanting for your demise.
It takes courage to be proud of yourself and who you are.
Thanks for listening,
The Military Atheist

President Obama's second inaugural address was a ringing affirmation of Democratic priorities and a resolute defense of federal safety-net programs. But there's little chance that the president will be able to move his second-term agenda through Congress unless and until Washington stops its relentless, all-consuming bickering over the federal budget. For the sake of his own aspirations, Obama should focus on something he paid scant attention to in Monday's speech: persuading Democrats and Republicans to agree on a plan to pare the deficit and bring the national debt under control.
The president's approach so far has been to take modest positions on the budget publicly while pushing for a "grand bargain" in private negotiations with House GOP leaders. His annual budget submissions to Congress have been notably light on ways to slow the growth of entitlements or shore up Social Security for the long run — vital elements of any deal with Republicans.
The president's role in the budget is limited, given that the Constitution gives Congress control of the federal purse. And administration officials have argued that when presidents take the lead in budget talks, their proposals become lightning rods for criticism and impede a deal.
But we're now entering the third year of the budget fight between the House Republican majority and the Democrats who control the Senate and the White House, and enough is enough. Obama's efforts to reach a sweeping deal with House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) have borne no fruit, in no small measure because much of the House Republican caucus has refused to take direction from Boehner. As if we haven't had enough brinkmanship already, the next tussle could result in a government shutdown in March. Now's the time for a new, more public approach by the president.

Area woman needs heart, local man a hero
For the typical person turning 21, their birthday is a day of celebration as they enter the next phase of adulthood.
For Botkins native Rachel Doseck, she had to celebrate her 21st birthday on Sunday in the Intensive Care Unit at the Cleveland Clinic on the hospital's transplant list.
"She is very ill and she will remain there until she receives a heart transplant so the family is hoping and praying someone is out there who has signed up as an organ donor to save her life," said Cathi R. Arends, who is the community relations director for Life Connection of Ohio's Dayton regional office. "When she was first admitted, she was able to get on Facebook and post messages and ask for prayers, but now it is mostly her family who is getting on and keeping everybody in the loop.
"I think she is listed in status 1B, but there is a chance because of the seriousness of her condition that she will move to the top of the list," she said. "This would be helpful in her hopefully getting that second chance."
She recently contracted the flu and her body rejected her heart, similar to the situation she experienced 10 years ago when she developed flu-like symptions and physicians learned her case was more serious than the flu or pneumonia — she needed a heart transplant. From her diagnosis to receiving the heart transplant took three months.
She received a heart transplant on June 19, 2002.
So Rachel has been in this position before and prevailed.
"She turns 21 tomorrow (Sunday) and I am certain it probably is not where she wants to be celebrating, but I think it really shows that organ donation and transplantation can effect any of us," Arends said Saturday at the Wapakoneta Family YMCA where she had a booth to talk to people about the importance of being an organ donor. "Most 21-year-olds are not thinking about spending their birthday in an ICU waiting to live, but that could be any of our children, a neighbor, a college roommate, a son, a daughter, a father, a mother, a sister or a brother — that is why we really want to encourage people to think about organ donation because one person can make a huge difference."
Arends said she is sure Rachel would have wanted to be at the Wapakoneta Family YMCA helping Arends and Wapakoneta resident Vickie Wehner. Rachel, now a college student, devoted a lot of her time in the past serving as an ambassador for Life Connection of Ohio since she was 16.
Her mother, Theresa Doseck said, "Knowing Rachel, she wants the community to know, the need for a transplant can affect any of us at any time. There are so many people out there, just like Rachel in desperate need of a hero, an organ donor."
Rachel and her mother preach one person can save up to eight lives.
Vickie Wehner knows it. Her husband, Doug, died in a motorcycle crash over the Fourth of July holiday in 2009. She said physicians believe he suffered a brain aneurysm before his crash.
He wanted to serve as an organ donor and "his gift of life" helped more than eight people, his wife said. He donated his heart, kidneys, liver and soft tissue.
Those events changed Vickie's life, too. At the time, she had a toddler and was pregnant. Today, her 6-year-old daughter, Stella, and 3-year-old son, Milton, talk about "daddy being a hero" and her daughter knows her father's heart saved the life of another man.
"Even though we had a tragic, tragic loss, we, at least, could find some comfort in that loss knowing we had helped numerous people and knowing four people's lives were saved and numerous people's lives were improved," Vickie said. "We can't make the situation disappear, we can't turn back time and make it go away, but at least this is comforting knowing we could help other families."
Before the crash, she said the decision to be an organ donor was reached after they talked about helping others in this way. She remarked her husband, who rode a motorcycle and worked at a high-risk construction job climbing huge towers, spoke about his desire to be an organ donor if anything happened — noting he "couldn't take his organs with him so he would want to help other people."
Arends, who noted the organ donation decision is more prevalent with youngsters, said she understands that organ donation is a personal decision and she encourages everyone to sign up. The most recent statistics show 54 percent are registered, but 90 percent of Americans believe organ donation is the right thing to do.
"We want to encourage people to think that it can hit home at any given time," Arends said. "Some people think it will never happen to me, but nobody expects to find themselves on that transplant waiting list. A virus can occur or something unexpected can happen — we have lots of people in this community who need help and the only thing that will help them is just an ordinary person, in advance of their death, to be an organ donor. You can save a life through organ donation and what better legacy than to save a life.
"We are here today (Saturday) at the swim meet with all these swimmers and you see all the energy, all the pride and the love of these families and that is what donations are about — we want to keep families together, we want to keep them intact, we don't want someone to pass away because of a lack of an organ. We want to bring hope to Rachel and others who are waiting," she said. "I would love to see a Rachel effect, people inspired to become organ donations."

A BlankTV Premiere Presentation:
Vinterblot - "Upon A Reign Of Ashes"
From a Throne of Bone a Dark Lord Reigns...
Vinterblot, a Mighty, Savage, Brutal, Pagan, Death Metal band from Southern Italy conjures up images of dark rulers and their dealings in "Upon A Reign Of Ashes", an extract from the upcoming Full Length Album "Nether Collapse"(Rising Records).
They say power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. But what of power born corrupt? "Upon A Reign Of Ashes" explores this notion under the direction of Salvatore Perrone ( DevilDriver, A Day to Remember, Suicide Silence, Fleshgod Apocalypse, etc.), as megalomaniacs play chess with life itself.

Product Overview
For over 60 years, the professionals at Nosler have been making precision bullets for competitive shooters, varmint hunters and big game hunters. Now they've taken Nosler premium hunting bullet technology and created a Custom line of premium ammunition with the use of new brass from popular brands from the reloading industry.
Loaded exclusively for MidwayUSA, Nosler Custom Ammunition is available in over 100 loads. The brass is cut to the exact SAAMI specifications, chamfered, deburred and the flash holes are checked for proper alignment. Primers are inspected and hand seated. The powder is hand thrown and verified for consistency. Finally the bullet is inspected and properly seated in exact alignment.
The entire loading process is personally hand-assembled by Nosler Ballisticians. The finished round is equal to the best of handloads. Loaded rounds are hand packaged in plastic ammo boxes with custom ballistic data printed in the label. This ammunition is new-production, non-corrosive in boxer-primed, reloadable brass cases.
Note: Some calibers may be loaded in commercial brass if Nosler brass is unavailable.
AccuBond represents the most advanced bonded core bullet technology to date. Through a proprietary bonding process that eliminates voids in the bullet core, AccuBond marries Nosler's traditional copper-alloy jacket with its special lead-alloy core. The result is a bullet that flies true, penetrates deep, retains its weight and won't cause extensive barrel fouling, plus it retains 60-70% of it's weight. The white polymer tip helps protect against deformation while initiating expansion upon impact.

The perfect bouquet accents a bride's gown and complements the mood the couple wants to create for their wedding, be it rustic and relaxed, elegant and formal, or something comfortable in between. Finding and working with the right florist helps the bride reflect her personality and taste in a single arrangement.
According to Bridal Festivals, the average Colorado couple will spend $1,971 on the flowers at their wedding. The price is largely dependent on the type of flowers, quantity of arrangements needed and delivery costs. While some brides opt for cost-saving DIY bouquet projects with faux flowers, colorful feathers or jeweled pendants, fresh floral arrangements remain a top preference for contemporary wedding décor.
Three Colorado florists weighed in this week on their most popular and original bridal bouquet designs, this year's hot color combinations and their typical pricing for the big day.

It was five years ago that I first heard Crystal Acoustics speakers. Crystal is a British-based OEM speaker manufacturer that started making THX certified speakers under its own name. Because Crystal sells direct through the Internet without the costs of a distribution network, it offers very low prices for its products. I was quite impressed by the price/value proposition of its TX-3D12 THX Select certified surround system.

So when I recently received a press release announcing Crystal Acoustics' latest system, the TX-3D12, which is anchored by the new THX Ultra2 certified TX-T3SE main speakers, I was excited to get my hands on a review sample. When I found out that the system is being offered at $1,999, my excitement turned to amazement. How could anyone possibly offer a 5.1 system featuring THX Ultra2 mains, plus a center-channel speaker, dipole surrounds and subwoofer that are all THX Select certified, for under $2,000? I was determined to find out.
Design and Setup
The TX-T3SE main speakers are similar in appearance to its predecessor, the THX-T3. Both speakers feature an externally mounted swiveling one-inch silk dome tweeter, and three seven-inch yellow "Crystal fibre" woven fiberglass woofers with bullet-cone phase plugs and two dimpled ports. The most obvious visual difference between the TX-T3SE and the former model is a deeper cabinet, making for increased interior volume. The TX-T3SE also has a more robust solid feel than the prior model, likely the result of additional interior bracing. The 3 ½-way TX-T3SE also has a redesigned crossover system, intended to achieve smoother frequency response between the woofers and mid-range drivers.
The larger cabinet and improved crossovers allow the TX-T3SE to serve as a full-range speaker, used without a subwoofer. Crystal Acoustics' white paper claims that the new design allows the TX-T3SE to produce 9 dB more power at 35 Hz, and 6 decibels more power at 40 Hz than its prior model, well below the operating frequencies of most floor-standing speakers. THX Ultra2 certification means that the TX-T3SE's are capable of very high output, along with excellent horizontal off-axis response.
As expected from a THX Ultra2 certified speaker, the TX-T3SE's are highly sensitive speakers, rated at 92 dB (2.83V/1 meter). A similar speaker rated at 89 dB sensitivity would require twice as much wattage to get that extra three decibels of output. In fact, you can tell that the company CEO is also head of Research and Development, because the rear panel of the TX-T3SE lists not just the speaker's nominal impedance but also minimum impedance, the rated frequency response and sensitivity.
The THX-D dipole surround speakers are similar to the prior models, in that they use the same front-firing seven inch woofer as the TX-T3SE's, with two side-firing one-inch silk dome tweeters wired out of phase. I've been using the prior version of the THX-D dipoles as my side-surround speakers in my main system. The newer dipoles are physically slightly smaller than the prior model, yet have better low-end frequency response than its predecessors (45 Hz versus 65Hz).
Likewise, the THX-CT center uses the same seven inch woofer with a top-mounted tweeter is the preferred vertical orientation, flanked by two small ports. The THX-C is nominally rated at 4 ohms, unlike the mains and surround speakers that are rated at nominal 8 ohms. The speakers came trimmed in a gloss black ash finish over MDF that gave them a stylish but not ostentatious appearance, certainly more than expected at this price range.
The THX-12SUB features a 12″ front-mounted woofer powered by a 200 watt (rms) amplifier. The back panel of the sub provides a single line-level input, a phase reverse switch and a two-position crossover switch which can be set to "THX" (meaning 80 Hz), or variable, in which case the crossover is set by the receiver or processor rather than the sub. The rear of the sub also has two large ports for low frequency extension. Crystal's spec sheet lists the THX-12SUB rated frequency response flat to 35 Hz, with usable extension down to 20 Hz.
In Use
My usual experience with THX certified speakers is to expect trade-offs between home theater and music listening. THX speakers are designed to maximize wide horizontal off-axis response, and limited vertical off-axis response for an immersive movie environment. As a result, most THX speakers I've heard sound fine with film soundtracks, but suffer to varying degrees with less-than-stellar imaging on music material.
I started by dialing up Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers' amazing new Blu-ray audio recording of Damn The Torpedoes. The original CD was a well-produced album, but the Blu-ray audio version is so fine it could be the subject of its own article. I was expecting the Crystal Acoustics' to reproduce the wonderful tones of the Heartbreakers, but not much in the way of imaging. So I was nicely surprised with the TX-T3SE's ability to separate instruments in the 5.1 soundstage. Stan Lynch's drumming, particularly on well-known tracks such as Refugee and Don't Do Me Like That, was larger than life on the Crystals'.
The Crystal Acoustics' spent part of football season in my listening room, so weekends provided a heavy dose of NFL action (via HD Comcast cable, 5.1 Dolby Digital). Watching games through the Crystal Acoustics were a real treat, especially with the THX-D dipole surround speakers providing realistic crowd ambience. It was almost like being at the game, except without the long lines at the bathroom.
Pixar does nothing other than make consistently superb films with eye-dropping visuals, wonderful characters, an uncanny ability to make me cry at the end of the movie, and of course fantastic sound. Toy Story 3 is no exception, with a soundtrack that includes everything from a fashion-conscious Ken to garbage trucks and landfill furnaces. The Crystal Acoustics really shined on the DTS-HD Master Audio, providing an enveloping soundstage and dynamic contrast. The THX-12SUB provided a solid foundation, with robust power in the mid and low bass frequencies. I did not get a sense of much infrasonic bass energy, which is to be expected given the rated frequency response of the sub, but there was a ton of room-filling pressure when it counted.
The TX-T3SE's are sensitive speakers, meaning they don't need a lot of power, but I found myself turning them up because they seemed to like it. No matter how hard I pushed them, the Crystal Acoustics' never sounded "loud" in the compressed, harsh sense of the word. They had the clear, powerful demeanor like you find in top-notch movie houses. In fact, the only issue I could take with the Crystal Acoustics' performance was an occasional volume mismatch between the THX-CT and the rest of the system. The THX-CT center-channel speaker is much smaller compared to TX-T3SE main speakers, an intentional decision made by Crystal to maintain a small visual footprint (especially when mated with flat screen displays). I found that as the volume increased, the center channel speaker occasionally would drop a bit behind the rest of the system.
On the Bench
All bench tests were performed with the speakers in the middle of the room, to avoid interaction with corners and walls. Except as noted below, all measurements were taken from one foot at a height equal to the center of the speaker being tested.
The TX-T3SE's tweeter had very low distortion at 1 kilohertz.
Distortion at 10 kHz was 0.33 THD+N.
The TX-T3SE is designed to be used as a full-range speaker, without a subwoofer. Distortion at 50 Hz is a very low 1.82%. Some subwoofers that have trouble producing 50Hz at such low distortion.
At 35 Hz, below the lowest note of a bass guitar, the TX-T3SE was still producing 84 decibels without clipping.
The back of the TX-T3SE speakers list the minimum impedance as 3.2 ohms, consistent with my measurements showing the impedance dipping to 3 ohms between 1500-2500 Hz. Phase angle above the LF crossover is within 50 degrees.
Crystal Acoustics lists the THX-12SUB as flat down to 35 Hz, which seems conservative since my tests showed the sub producing very low distortion (3.23%) at the even lower third-octave frequency of 31.5 Hz.
I was so impressed by the low frequency output that I cranked up the 31.5 Hz sine wave, and even at a room-shaking 108 decibels, distortion was still an impressively low 3.87%. The THX-12SUB could have taken more, but it had already made its point.
The total harmonic frequency plus noise vs. frequency graph shows that the THX-12SUB dips below 10% distortion at 27 Hz, and after a spike at 40 Hz (likely the port tuning frequency) distortion drops off rapidly. This is really good performance for a sub that sells for only $649. Even more amazing, the black ash version of the THX-12SUB was at this writing offered via web special at the Crystal Audio website for only $399.
Crystal Acoustics has hit another home run in the price-performance category. Two thousand dollars buys a set of THX Ultra2 certified full-range speakers, a THX Select certified subwoofer that plays really loud down to 31.5 Hz, THX Select certified dipole and center-channel speakers that fill a room with immersive sound. This review didn't meet the deadline for SECRETS 2010 Best Of awards, but when nominations are due for the 2011 Best of awards, the Crystal Acoustics' TX-T3SE system has my vote.

The tragic tale of the Roman matron Lucretia is one of the most famous
early Roman legends, if for no other reason than that it exerted such a
profound effect on later artists, both literary and visual. Beyond that,
however, it gives insight into gendered Roman cultural values and demonstrates
the interplay of the personal and the political in classical Rome.
My goal is to encourage teachers to incorporate into their Latin classes art, the creative process, the classical tradition, and the inspiration of classics on later literature and art by offering an activity and associated materials around a single tragic yet triumphant Roman heroine. Below are listed some of the materials I have found on the web and used fruitfully with my high school Latin 3 class.
Go to the Greek Mythology Link by Carlos Parada where you can read about the people and events in the story of Lucretia. Then answer the questions that follow. Note that the questions are not necessarily intended to provide a laundry list of answers. Rather, they are designed to get you thinking about the right sort of topics. You should think about these questions and use them to formulate a coherent answer.
Below are some of the most famous narrations of Lucretia's story in classical and medieval Latin and Middle and Renaissance English (some are annotated, others are translated). I make these available so that teachers can choose one or more sources to use, depending on their goals, the time available, and their students' Latin ability.
Lucretia and her story have inpired artists from the Middle Ages to the
present day. The volume of depictions of the woman and her tragedy was a total
surprise to me. Click here to access the project Lucretia in Art; the project document is in PDF
form and contains full instructions, requirements, and grading rubrics. Click

Thiago Silva has placed his name in the mainstream news for all the wrong reasons.
Late Thursday night, Silva's home in Florida was surrounded by SWAT and other law enforcement officials after the UFC fighter threatened a Brazilian jiu-jitsu gym.
After being taken into custody, Silva's bond was set at $2.5 million early Friday morning. However, due to his "flight risk," the judge denied letting him post the bond and Silva was sent back into custody.
The judge later removed the bond and ordered Silva be held without, as he felt there was concern the Brazilian would depart back to his native country and never return.
Silva was charged with four counts, including two counts of felony attempted murder. However, during the early morning hearing, the judge threw out the attempted murder charges, saying, "The court does not believe at this time there's enough set forth in the affidavit to support an attempted murder based on these facts.
"It just seems if he wanted to shoot Mrs. Silva, he would've done it. He didn't do it."
Silva currently faces charges of two counts of aggravated assault with a weapon, aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and obstruction without violence.
Thaysa Silva, Thiago's wife, trains at the Pablo Popovitch Mixed Martial Arts Academy in Oakland Park, Florida where this ordeal first started.
The UFC's official first – and only to date – official statement was released late Thursday evening:
This evening, we were made aware of a situation involving Thiago Silva. We are in the process of gathering the facts and have no further comment at this time."
However, UFC president Dana White told TMZ Sports early Friday that "This guy will never fight in the UFC again."
Silva was scheduled to compete next month at UFC 171 from Dallas against Ovince St. Preux.

50 Years of Data Confirms Benefit of Antipsychotics
By Brendan McLean, NAMI Communications Coordinator
Examining old and new varieties of antipsychotic drugs, a meta-analysis of studies conducted around the world showed that the risk of relapse for individuals living with schizophrenia taking antipsychotic drugs decreased. Relapse, the worsening of symptoms after a period of improvement, is a common occurrence in individuals with schizophrenia.
After one year, relapse rates were 64 percent for people not taking medication, while they were 27 percent for those who did take medication for at least one year. However, the researchers noted that the effectiveness of medication seemed to wane over time.
Data also revealed that those taking antipsychotics were 16 percent less likely to be readmitted for hospitalization. Five studies indicated that individuals taking medication may behave less aggressively and three studies posited that they have a better quality of life than those who are not taking drugs.
For the study, German researchers looked at 65 clinical trials reported in 116 articles published between 1959 and 2011. The trials included nearly 6,500 individuals living with schizophrenia.
The data "is consistent with what we see in clinical practice—that we are very well able to keep our patients functioning better when they consistently take these medications," said Dr. Roberto Estrada, attending psychiatrist at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City.
Although antipsychotic medication is often the go-to treatment for individuals living with schizophrenia, the use of antipsychotics does not come without drawbacks. For one, the cost of antipsychotic drugs is sometimes prohibitively expensive. In 2010, roughly $18.5 billion was spent worldwide on antipsychotic drugs, according to a journal news release.
Additionally, the study also found evidence of the negative side effects of taking these medications. Compared to individuals given a placebo, those treated with antipsychotics were more likely to experience blurred vision, skin rashes, major weight gain and problems related to physical movement, such as tremors and restlessness. Long-term use of typical antipsychotic medication may also lead to a condition called tardive dyskinesia (TD).
"The cost and adverse effects associated with antipsychotics remain major impediments to achieving more successful treatment of schizophrenia," said Estrada. "Further work needs to be done to develop more effective treatments for schizophrenia that are better-tolerated and thus likely to improve patients' adherence to taking these medications."
However, the overall message stated by the researchers is clear.
"Antipsychotic maintenance treatment substantially reduces relapse risk in all patients with schizophrenia for up to two years of follow-up," said Stefan Leucht from the Technical University of Munich in a journal news release.
The findings are published in the online edition of The Lancet.

Jay Bothroyd salvaged a point for Cardiff in their npower Championship opener against Sheffield United.
The Blades were leading through Ched Evans' early strike but were reduced to 10 men after just half an hour when youngster Matthew Lowton was shown a straight red card.
And Cardiff, last season's beaten play-off finalists, dragged themselves level when Michael Chopra rounded United goalkeeper Steve Simonsen and teed up Bothroyd for the equaliser.
The hosts were simply glad to get back to playing football after a turbulent summer off the pitch - they were hit with a transfer embargo which was only lifted on Friday.
They made the better start and had the ball in the net after 13 minutes when Chopra burst through, but the striker was penalised for a foul on Johnny Ertl.
And 10 minutes later, against the run of play, United took the lead.
Evans could have been awarded a penalty when he was hauled down by Gabor Gypes, but the Wales international quickly got back to his feet when the ball broke to Leon Britton.
The summer signing from Swansea pinged the ball back across goal and Evans was on hand to turn it past Cardiff keeper David Marshall.
However, United were dealt a blow when Lowton, making only his third league appearance, was sent off by referee Peter Walton for a reckless high challenge on Kevin McNaughton.
The visitors made it to half-time without too much drama, and were relieved to see Mark Hudson's header from Peter Whittingham's corner fly wide after the break.
But City finally prised open the Blades rearguard on the hour mark when Simonsen came charging out of his goal to meet Chopra on the right of the penalty area.
Chopra's superb control of the high ball allowed him to jink around the diving keeper and feed Bothroyd, who was able to slot the ball into the net despite two defenders standing on the goal-line.
Simonsen made a better fist of saving at the feet of substitute Ross McCormack five minutes later after he was put through by Chopra.
The keeper also held on to a dangerous cross-shot from Darcy Blake, tipped another McCormack effort around the post and blocked Chris Burke's drive as Cardiff pressed.
He pulled off an even better save to deny Chopra from the edge of the area, diving at full length to palm away the striker's fierce shot, as the tiring 10 men held out for a point.

WASHINGTON — Federal agents had to end what they termed "an urgent public safety interview" with Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev when a judge came to his hospital room, officials said Thursday, a disclosure that has renewed the debate over how the government should handle terrorism suspects.
Tsarnaev has not answered any questions since he was given a lawyer and told he has the right to remain silent by Magistrate Judge Marianne B. Bowler on Monday, officials said.
Until that point, Tsarnaev had been responding to the interagency High Value Detainee Interrogation Group, including admitting his role in the bombing, authorities said. A senior congressional aide said Tsarnaev had asked several times for a lawyer, but that request was ignored since he was being questioned under the public safety exemption to the Miranda rule. The exemption allows defendants to be questioned about imminent threats, such as whether other plots are in the works or other plotters are on the loose.
After being briefed on the sequence of events, lawmakers from both parties questioned Thursday why the Justice Department didn't seek to delay the judge's appearance on the grounds that the public safety interview was continuing. Legal experts said that once documents charging Tsarnaev with using a weapon of mass destruction were signed Sunday night, criminal rules of procedure require that he be brought before a judge "without unnecessary delay," which usually means the next business day.

With a bloodied scab on the bridge of his nose and an offensive lineman's face only a mother could love, Corey Linsley laughed when a question was prefaced with a beauty contest. Linsley won't win a beauty contest, but the Buckeyes are in one right now.
With a bloodied scab on the bridge of his nose and an offensive lineman's face only a mother could love, Corey Linsley laughed when a question was prefaced with a beauty contest.
Linsley won't win a beauty contest, but the Buckeyes are in one right now.
How can third-ranked Ohio State get to the BCS National Championship Game with three games left in the season? Maybe they can't.
"It is what it is," Linsley said. "There's nothing we can do about it. There's no lobbying we can do at this point to change the BCS formula. The only thing we can concentrate on is how do we advance further in the BCS and keep ahead of Baylor and get to the national championship."
A step in that direction is by beating Indiana at 3:30 Saturday at Ohio Stadium. A Buckeye win would clinch the Leaders Division and get Ohio State to its first Big Ten Championship Game in Indianapolis. The likely opponent there is Michigan State, and that's important.
This week there isn't likely to be much change in the rankings. No. 1 Alabama and No. 2 Florida State both have the kind of patsies Ohio State is criticized for playing early in the season. Alabama hosts Chattanooga, and Florida State has Idaho.
Baylor, on the other hand, is at No. 10 Oklahoma State. The Bears' 29-point win at home against Texas Tech was more impressive than Ohio State's 25-point road win at Illinois to Associated Press voters and Baylor jumped the Buckeyes in the AP poll, which is a non-factor in the BCS formula.
"It is the way that it is," Linsley said. "When we're disappointed by (winning) 60-35 — we didn't cover whatever spread we needed to to score enough points to boost up our rating in the BCS. That's another reason we were disappointed in the way we played. It's reality."
After Saturday's games, the next two weeks could get interesting. The Buckeyes can hold on to this nugget:
Since 2006, the teams ranked Nos. 1-2 in the BCS with three weeks left only played for the national title once — in 2010.
In 2007, Ohio State was ranked No. 7 in the BCS at this point in the season and ended up playing LSU for the national title that season. Not only did the Buckeyes get there, they were No. 1 in the final BCS rankings.
Next week's games could make things interesting. First, Ohio State has to go on the road and beat rival Michigan in a game that would save the Wolverines' season. Already putting that game as a win would be foolish by Ohio State.
Alabama is at No. 6 Auburn next week and Florida State is at rival Florida, which is having a bad season. However, the sexual assault investigation that involves Seminoles quarterback Jameis Winston, could be problematic. If Winston is charged with a crime, he would be suspended under Florida State's code of conduct for athletes.
Baylor still could give the Buckeyes a headache. However, if Ohio State wins out and beats a top 15 Michigan State in the Big Ten Championship Game, that should be enough to hold off the Bears. Remember, Baylor does not play in a conference championship game.
Baylor hosts TCU next week and Texas the following week in a game that could be Mack Brown's final as Texas' head coach.
After next week, presuming Alabama and Florida State win the next two, both would play conference championship games. Both would be favorites in those games, too.
It is still entirely possible Urban Meyer could win his first 25 games as Ohio State's head coach and not play for a national championship.
Meyer, earlier this week, called the BCS a "flawed system." However, he didn't seem to be complaining. He has dialed back on lobbying for his team because he thought it was a distraction a week ago.
"We have to make sure our focus is on getting better each week instead of all the national stuff," Meyer said. "I think I'm learning a lesson to just shut my mouth and quit worrying about this and that."

The gig: Beatriz Acevedo, 44, is founder and president of MiTu Network, which provides Spanish-language lifestyle programs on YouTube. The company has attracted a variety of investors including Viacom's Shari Redstone and former News Corp. Chief Operating Officer Peter Chernin. When the network launched, it had 30 channels with about 15 million monthly views. Now, a year later, MiTu has close to 700 channels, and about 100 million monthly views.
First break: Acevedo was born in Tijuana and started in the business at 8, hosting a kids TV show in Baja California and doing voices for radio commercials in San Diego. By the time she was 21, she was working in Mexico City and had won three Emmys. At the urging of a friend, upcoming film director Robert Rodriquez, she went entrepreneurial and began producing TV show demos on spec — and sold them to the Discovery Channel and USA Network. "I felt like a fish out of water, I felt like I was going to cry," Acevedo said. That landed her a gig as a consultant for Discovery Channel for other Spanish-language programs.
Standing Out: Univision, Telemundo, ABC and Fox all offer Spanish-language programming, but MiTu provides content in English, Spanish and Portuguese, because many Latinos, Acevedo said, though they are Spanish speakers, prefer to search in English and watch English videos. Most traditional networks offer only game shows, soap operas and sports in Spanish, but MiTu provides "culturally relevant content," including shows on Mexican cookery and raising bilingual children — free of charge. "You have to pay a high premium for most Spanish channels, except for us," she said.
Working in L.A.: Acevedo left Mexico City for L.A. in 1995. "L.A. was a small town compared to Mexico City," she said. She felt comfortable in L.A. and appreciated the large Latino community, particularly the Mexican community. When she did some work in Miami, she didn't feel at home because she couldn't find a place to buy cilantro. "How can I make my guacamole without cilantro?" she said.
Latinos and the media: A lot of larger networks are not thinking about how they portray Latinos, Acevedo said, and depict Latinos as poor, "down on their luck" people. The Spanish-language telenovelas prove audiences are interested in something different, and TV programming should be inspirational, as well as entertaining. "People want to watch something that they aspire to be," Acevedo said. "I want to continue to empower these Latinos to be entrepreneurs."
Advice: The key to surviving in the industry is perseverance, Acevedo said. Take time to feel grateful for all the things you do and don't be consumed by what's next. "Enjoy the ride," she said.
Getting personal: Acevedo is married to TV production veteran Doug Greiff, partner and chief operating officer of MiTu. "Doug and I work great as a team," she said. "People in meetings are very entertained by my type-A, feisty, Latina personality and his cool and calm East Coast demeanor.... And as a married couple building a network/studio together, Doug likes to say we are like 'I Love Lucy' in reverse!" They have twin 8-year-olds, Isabella and Diego, and live in Santa Monica.

The Eclipse Project Summary page gives a lot of information about each project, based on lots of data sources at Eclipse. Some of these come from our internal database, some from the project meta-data in the Portal, and some from the Dash project's dashboard.
Company Logos
Company logos sometimes appear in the committers pane, like this:
It's not immediately apparent how those logos get there. So here's what you need in order to get your company's logo to show up in this pane:
- At least one committer has to be listed as an employee of the company in question
- The company needs to have their logo uploaded to the Portal (and needs to be a member of course)
- The committer must be active
- The committer must be on this project
If all of those conditions are met and the logo is still not showing up, then it's possible that the project meta-data doesn't have the correct version control paths specified–this affects whether the committer is considered active by the dashboard. Any committer on the project can manage the meta-data in the Portal to correct this situation. In fact, there is a handy link at the top of the summary page to open a bug with the project to fix it. All other questions should be directed to the EMO (emo@eclipse….).
This page is moderated by the EMO.

Matt's DIY Master Bath Vanity Project
Matt even shares some tips about finishing cabinetry with an aged lacquer appearance on birch plywood:
Now we finish. I've been working on replicating the look of aged lacquer on birch plywood. I've tried a few different things, tung oil, shellac, stains. Tung oil is okay, but seems to work better on solid woods where it can really soak in deeply. Shellac is nice, but a bit too orange. Stains have the same issue as tung oil, in that they just don't seem to penetrate or have enough effect. This time I used Minwax's Polyshades in Pecan, satin. My theory is that most of that warm amber glow on the vintage cabinetry I've seen in the neighborhood is the lacquer yellowing, not a stain or the color of the wood per say. This stuff actually has the color in the polyurethane, so the color sits on top of the wood. I like the way this took and will probably do the same thing again next time.
Matt has more photos and details about his project over at Our Cliff Mat Rancho Rehab for you to ooh and ahh over. Great job and we can't wait for the kitchen makeover (we're also in envy mode of his workshop space/tools).

Unpacking the ornaments of the season
The Christmas tree is decorated. (Thanks, Keely, Taurus, and Isaac!) It's a new, smaller tree, and the old, larger tree has gone to Keely's house.
At the stores, I've been seeing themed trees -- woodland, gingerbread, jewels and sparkles, etc. If our cheery little tree has any theme at all, it must be "nostalgia."
The Christmas village is on the mantle, and the Santa Clauses have rendezvoused on the old steamer trunk in the hallway. The nativity scene is in its place of honor, atop the china cabinet.
One Christmas curiosity I always enjoy getting out is a very gaudy Peruvian nativity retablo that we were given when we lived in Bolivia. It was made for tourists, and it isn't valuable, but I like it.
The little box is white, outlined with red, on the outside. Under a triangular peak, giant purple flowers adorn the doors. The doors open to reveal a nativity scene, with a Peruvian point of view.
Mary and Joseph kneel, watching over Baby Jesus in the manger. In the foreground, a little boy and girl in Andean costume play the flute and drum. Below the manger, two dogs rest. (Or maybe it's a cow and a donkey -- it's hard to tell!)
On the back wall of the box, golden clouds and stars dance across a black sky, and above all, the brilliant star of Bethlehem shines.
The little retablo is a good reminder that the Christ Child and Christmas belong to all the world, not just to people who look and talk like me.

The Documentary History of the Ratification of the Constitution, Volume XXIV, Ratification of the Constitution by the States: Rhode Island, No. 1
By John P. Kaminski, Gaspare J. Saladino, Jonathan M. Reid, Charles H. Schoenleber, Richard Leffler, Margaret R. Flamingo (Editors), Patrick T. Conley (Consulting Editor), Timothy D. Moore (Editorial Assistant)

"The most important editorial project in the nation." -Leonard W. Levy, constitutional historian
This is the first of three volumes documenting Rhode Island's public and private debates about the Constitution. This documentary series is a research tool of remarkable power, an unrivaled reference work for historical and legal scholars, librarians, and students of the Constitution.
Browse the entire Ratification Series
John P. Kaminski is the founder and director of the Center for the Study of the American Constitution in the Department of History at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. A professor emeritus from the College of Letters and Science at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, he is the author or editor of twenty-five other books on early American history.
The following text is excerpted from an article by Gordon S. Wood in The New Republic on December 24, 2010. To see the full article, please click this link.At the Wisconsin Historical Society in Madison, one of the greatest editorial projects in American history has been under way for nearly thirty-five years. Since 1976, the successive editors of the "Documentary History of the Ratification of the Constitution" have published twenty-three volumes, and there are at least eight more to come. These volumes contain every scrap of evidence the editors have been able to find relating to the debates over the ratification of the Constitution in 1787 - 1788. These editors, beginning with Merrill Jensen and continuing at present with John P. Kaminski, Gaspare J. Saladino, and others, have put together one of the greatest collections of debates over the basic issues of politics and constitutionalism that the Western world possesses. The political debates in fifth-century Athens or seventeenth-century England may have been richer and more wide-ranging, but we will never know, because the records of those earlier disputations are either lost or fragmentary. They are certainly not as complete as the records we have for the ratification of the Constitution. Rarely will we find a more profound or more comprehensive discussion of the problems of power, liberty, representation, federalism, rights, and all the other aspects of politics than we have in these volumes. This record is not only a national treasure, it is a world treasure

All Blacks legend Jonah Lomu is not often lost for words, but he was visibly moved by a special ceremony to celebrate his career in Sigatoka, Fiji, yesterday.
Lomu unveiled a plaque on the footpath in the centre of what is signposted as Rugby Town in a unique opening to the third Coral Coast Sevens tournament, which has attracted the strongest field yet, including a full-strength Australian national team.
The giant former winger is the tournament ambassador and was mobbed by hundreds of well-wishers at the unveiling.
Despite years of adulation, he still finds all the attention overwhelming at times.
"That sort of welcome still humbles me and I guess what makes it even more special is that we are in Fiji and when you are talking sevens, you can't go past Fiji," Lomu said.
"There are no doubts at all that Fiji is the home of sevens. When you look at who has won the World Cup sevens and also win-loss ratios, there are not many teams that come near Fiji. They lose so many players each year because they go off-shore to make a living, but they just seem to replace them without any problem.
"It is like a factory here turning out sevens players."
Lomu's plaque is the third to be laid on the Sevens Walk of Fame in Sigatoka, beside Waisale Serevi and David Campese, who was the tournament ambassador last year.
"For me, it is quite humbling to be put up with those two greats. In my first year playing sevens in Hong Kong in 1994, I went to meet Serevi in his room and couldn't believe it.
"The previous year I was sitting in my school dormitory lounge watching him play sevens, so to get to rub shoulders with him now and call him my friend is a dream come true in a lot of ways.
"With me and Campo, we had a battle over who owns the No11, so it is a great honour and privilege to be recognised and honoured in this way."
Lomu expects to see colossal growth in the sevens game now it is an Olympic sport but also because it is the perfect fit for the diverse cultural and physical disparity around the world.
He says no matter who you are or where you are from, sevens is a one-size-fits-all fix.
"Sevens is definitely close to my heart and it is what will grow the game worldwide. It is a marketing dream for one, but it is also important that anyone can play it, whereas the 15-man game is not feasible for all teams to play.
"It is also feasible for smaller nations to be able to hold tournaments as it is more affordable for them. I think that is one of the catalysts for me in terms of what sevens can do for different countries.
"You just have to look at the tournament here. I think the Coral Coast Sevens is a stepping stone for many players to get their start like I did and one day, I would love to see an IRB tournament played here.
"The tournament has only been going three years and it is getting better and better. When you look at the calibre of players here it just shows what sevens can do for the game's profile."
Fiji's finest sevens player Serevi, now based in Seattle, Washington, and England's record breaking try scorer, Ben Gollings, have joined up in one of the pre-tournament favourites, Serevi Select, with last year's winners, Wardens, weakened by the unavailability of their Fijian national players.
New Zealand is represented by Auckland Marist, with Blues Super 15 brothers Peter and Francis Saili, as well as Auckland-based Lomaiviti Barbarians featuring IRB Player of the Year in 2011 Tomasi Cama, and the Pacific Warriors.
The full field of 24 men's teams is playing for a first prize of $30,000, while the women's field of eight teams is tuning up for the chance to be chosen by their national selectors for the inaugural IRB Women's World Series to be played in Dubai.

one day be something special. The kid's got major skills.
Coming into the draft, I thought of BWRight as being the third best player there was, behind Oden and Durant. I know the man has skills but the fact is, he still has some development to make before he can be a star, he will be playing behind Harrington if in fact Harrington is not traded and JRICH WAS TRADED FOR HIM. JRich is a better player right now and a core player of the team and losing him willmake the team worse than the addition of Wright
32 wrote:#2, Monta played his best basketball last year at SG. When he was forced to bring the ball upcourt, it added a lot of TO's to his stat sheet. He's a better playmaker when nobody expects him to be the distrubtor. If anything, a permanent move to SG will make him even more dangerous. Monta's definately more comforable scoring than passing.
I thought Monta played best last season early on, even when replacing Baron. He definately can play SG but he is smaller and less of an outside shooter than JRich, two things that made JRich effective on the team. I hope the best but Monta has everything to prove as well as a full time SG if indeed he takes that position
32 wrote:#3, Nelson is tutoring a successor (Keith Smart) to take over his coaching duties when his contract expires. Smart, with a half-retarded Cleveland Cav's roster, didn't do half bad with a poor situation in Ohio... so I can't wait to see what he has to offer with a more loaded lineup and a few years of Nellie training (ala Avery Johnson). Nelson coaching the team shouldn't be a problem; I have a feeling his ways will continue even after he's gone. Small ball seems to be the way of the future (not to mention, our team's biggest strength), so I see no reason to sweat it when Nelson's gone in a couple seasons.
I truly hope that Smart, if he is the one that takes over, can do what Avery Johnson did in Dallas in not only taking over but making things even better. That is a reach but a possibility but the thing is that the recent changes were made to suit Nelson's style and I'm not sure the current players could play well in a slightly more half court system
