[adopted at the High Level Meeting on The Internet Economy: Generating Innovation and Growth on 28-29 June 2011]
The Seoul Declaration on the Future of the Internet Economy adopted at the 2008 OECD Ministerial on the Future of the Internet Economy recognised that the Internet provides an open, decentralised platform for communication, collaboration, innovation, creativity, productivity improvement and economic growth. Building on the Seoul Declaration, the OECD's High-Level Meeting on The Internet Economy: Generating Innovation and Growth, held in June 2011, highlighted that the strength and dynamism of the Internet depends on its ease of access to high-speed networks, openness, and on user confidence.
In the context of this High-Level Meeting, we, the representatives of OECD Members, Egypt and of stakeholders including the Business and Industry Advisory Committee to the OECD (BIAC), and the Internet Technical Community (ITAC), agreed on a number of basic principles for Internet policy making as an important step in ensuring that the Internet remains open and dynamic.
We recognised that the Internet allows people to give voice to their democratic aspirations, and any policy-making associated with it must promote openness and be grounded in respect for human rights and the rule of law.
We recognised the essential contribution of stakeholders, including business, civil society, the Internet technical community and academic institutions, to the ongoing development of the Internet and the enrichment of society using the Internet.
We stressed that more ubiquitous access to and use of broadband Internet networks, which are available in a competitive market and at affordable prices, will help foster innovation and drive the growth of the Internet Economy and of the economy in general.
We emphasised that, in certain cases, public support and investment may be needed to ensure the greatest practical availability of these networks in our countries, in particular in rural and remote areas, and that such public intervention should support market competition and promote private investment initiatives.
We underlined the importance of generating demand and the significant role that governments can play in this regard by stimulating the use of broadband Internet networks in areas such as science, education, health, transportation and smart electricity grids as well as promoting the use of Internet for an ageing society.
We recognised that new and evolving technologies and protocols, with their enabling effect on broader opportunities and innovation such as IPv6, the Semantic Web and cloud computing, are emerging as a general engine for economic and social development. In the context of recent natural disasters we recognised that a resilient network can play a crucial role in ensuring information sharing and facilitating rapid aid distribution.
The Internet has grown and diffused extremely rapidly across the globe, and continues to bring significant benefits to economies and societies. Individual innovators, and a co-operative multi-stakeholder environment, have played significant roles in this process. Enhancing access and participation in the Internet economy through the deployment of high-speed broadband Internet networks can also help in increasing the availability of legitimate content, in addition to supporting the free flow of information and knowledge, the freedom of expression, association and assembly, the protection of individual liberties, as critical components of a democratic society and cultural diversity.
The policy-making principles in this communiqué are designed to help preserve the fundamental openness of the Internet while concomitantly meeting certain public policy objectives, such as the protection of privacy, security, children online, and intellectual property, as well as the reinforcement of trust in the Internet. Effective protection of intellectual property rights plays a vital role in spurring innovation and furthers the development of the Internet economy. Internet policy making principles need to take into account the unique social, technical and economic aspects of the Internet environment. It is clear that the open and accessible nature of the Internet needs to be supported for the benefit of freedom of expression, and to facilitate the legitimate sharing of information, knowledge and exchange of views by users, including research and development, that has brought about widespread innovation to our economies.
Recognising the reliance of our economies on the Internet, the global nature of the Internet, and the various approaches implemented to stimulate the Internet economy, including innovative governance strategies in convening diverse groups of stakeholders to forge consensus-based policies, we agreed as governments, private sector stakeholders and civil society to the following basic principles for Internet policy making:
· Promote and protect the global free flow of information:
The Internet Economy, as well as individuals' ability to learn, share information and knowledge, express themselves, assemble and form associations, depend on the global free flow of information. To encourage the free flow of information online, it is important to work together to advance better global compatibility across a diverse set of laws and regulations. While promoting the free flow of information, it is also essential for governments to work towards better protection of personal data, children online, consumers, intellectual property rights, and to address cybersecurity. In promoting the free flow of information governments should also respect fundamental rights.
· Promote the open, distributed and interconnected nature of the Internet:
As a decentralised network of networks, the Internet has achieved global interconnection without the development of any international regulatory regime. The development of such a formal regulatory regime could risk undermining its growth. The Internet's openness to new devices, applications and services has played an important role in its success in fostering innovation, creativity and economic growth. This openness stems from the continuously evolving interaction and independence among the Internet's various technical components, enabling collaboration and innovation while continuing to operate independently from one another. This independence permits policy and regulatory changes in some components without requiring changes in others or impacting on innovation and collaboration. The Internet's openness also stems from globally accepted, consensus driven technical standards that support global product markets and communications. The roles, openness, and competencies of the global multi-stakeholder institutions that govern standards for different layers of Internet components should be recognised and their contribution should be sought on the different technical elements of public policy objectives. Maintaining technology neutrality and appropriate quality for all Internet services is also important to ensure an open and dynamic Internet environment. Provision of open Internet access services is critical for the Internet economy.
· Promote investment and competition in high-speed networks and services:
High-speed networks and services are essential for future economic growth, job creation, greater competitiveness and for people to enjoy a better life. Public policies should promote robust competition in the provision of high-speed broadband Internet that is available to users at affordable prices and promote investment also to attain the greatest geographic coverage of broadband Internet. They should also promote an optimal level of investment by creating demand for high-speed broadband networks and services, in particularly in areas where governments play a key role such as in education, health, energy distribution and transport. Public policies should help foster a diversity of content, platforms, applications, online services, and other user communication tools that will create demand for networks and services, as well as to allow users to fully benefit from those networks and services and to access a diversity of content, on non-discriminatory terms, including the cultural and linguistic content of their choice.
· Promote and enable the cross-border delivery of services:
Suppliers should have the ability to supply services over the Internet on a cross-border and technologically neutral basis in a manner that promotes interoperability of services and technologies, where appropriate. Users should have the ability to access and generate lawful content and run applications of their choice. To ensure cost effectiveness and other efficiencies, other barriers to the location, access and use of cross-border data facilities and functions should be minimised, providing that appropriate data protection and security measures are implemented in a manner consistent with the relevant OECD Guidelines and reflecting the necessary balance among all fundamental rights, freedoms and principles.
· Encourage multi-stakeholder co-operation in policy development processes:
The Internet's complexity, global reach, and constant evolution require timely, scalable, and innovation-enabling policies. Due to the rapidly changing technological, economic and social environment within which new policy challenges emerge, multi-stakeholder processes have been shown to provide the flexibility and global scalability required to address Internet policy challenges. These multi-stakeholder processes should involve the participation of all interested stakeholders and occur in a transparent manner. In particular, continued support is needed for the multi-stakeholder environment, which has underpinned the process of Internet governance and the management of critical Internet resources (such as naming and numbering resources) and these various stakeholders should continue to fully play a role in this framework. Governments should also work in multi-stakeholder environments to achieve international public policy goals and strengthen international co-operation in Internet governance.
· Foster voluntarily developed codes of conduct:
Governments may be able to achieve certain policy goals through flexible, adaptive means by encouraging, facilitating and supporting the development of codes of conduct that are supported by effective accountability mechanisms. These codes would be developed by voluntary participants in a multi-stakeholder process and, if appropriate, enforceable under appropriate governmental authority. Such codes of conduct should encourage and facilitate voluntary co-operative efforts by the private sector to respect the freedoms of expression, association and assembly online, and to address illegal activity, including fraudulent, malicious, misleading and unfair practices taking place over the Internet. Such co-operative efforts should be balanced and consistent with the applicable legal framework and where those co-operative efforts are not forthcoming, other policy options consistent with these principles should be considered in consultation with relevant stakeholders.
· Develop capacities to bring publicly available, reliable data into the policy-making process:
Publicly available data can increase the quality of all stakeholders' participation in Internet policy making as well as governments' ultimate policy decisions. The collection, validation and public dissemination of objective data to inform Internet policy decisions should be reinforced and used to augment the combined research capacities of governments, other competent authorities and other stakeholders. International comparable metrics will help to quantify the ongoing economic developments and assess the proportionality and effectiveness of any policy solutions created in multi-stakeholder processes. Data gathering should be undertaken so as to avoid administrative burdens and data analysis should be done carefully to enable sound policy making.
· Ensure transparency, fair process, and accountability:
In order to build public trust in the Internet environment, policy-making processes and substantive policies that ensure transparency, fair process, and accountability should be encouraged. Transparency ensures that Internet users have timely, accessible, and actionable information that is relevant to their rights and interests. Fair process provides predictable decision-making procedures to govern the definition, assertion, and defence of rights. Accountability is achieved through policies that make parties answerable, where appropriate, for their actions on the Internet.
· Strengthen consistency and effectiveness in privacy protection at a global level:
Strong privacy protection is critical to ensuring that the Internet fulfils its social and economic potential. Current privacy challenges are likely to become more acute as the economy and society depends more heavily on broadened and innovative uses of personal information that can be more easily gathered, stored, and analysed. As individuals increasingly engage via the Internet in their public and private lives, they should be empowered to better understand how their personal data may be used, exercise greater control over those uses, and be confident that it will be handled fairly. Privacy rules should be based on globally recognised principles, such as the OECD privacy guidelines, and governments should work to achieve global interoperability by extending mutual recognition of laws that achieve the same objectives. Cross-border enforcement co-operation will further protect privacy and promote innovation. Privacy rules should also consider the fundamental rights of others in society including rights to freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and an open and transparent government.
· Maximise individual empowerment:
The Internet offers potential for individuals to exercise control over the information that they receive as well as the personal data that is disclosed about them. To maximise this potential governments, the private-sector, the Internet technical community and civil society should all work together to provide the capacity for appropriate and effective individual control over the receipt of information and disclosure of personal data, which should include user education and digital literacy initiatives.
· Promote creativity and innovation:
Numerous factors account for the extraordinary creativity and innovation found on the Internet, including intellectual property protection for creative endeavours and low barriers to entry which have enabled creation and deployment of new technologies, products and services. The Seoul Declaration of the OECD on the Future of the Internet Economy highlighted some of these factors including an open environment that supports the free flow of information, research, innovation, entrepreneurship, the wide accessibility to public sector information and content, the encouragement of basic and applied research on the Internet and of collaborative knowledge and innovation networks involving universities, governments, and public research. Low barriers to entry enabled by the open platform nature of the Internet environment have been crucial to online creativity and innovation. Policies and practices should continue to encourage and promote an Internet environment which is conducive to launching creative and innovative technologies, businesses, and other endeavours that respect recognised legal rights without having to obtain permission or affirmative co-operation from established service providers. Intellectual property protection is a fundamental tool for the advancement of innovation and creativity on the Internet. New and complementary approaches balanced to ensure effective protection of intellectual property should also be encouraged where necessary, and should also ensure protection of legitimate competition and fundamental principles such as freedom of expression, access to lawful content and Internet services and technologies, fair process, and privacy. Sound Internet policy should encompass norms of responsibility that enable private sector voluntary co-operation for the protection of intellectual property. Appropriate measures include lawful steps to address and deter infringement, and accord full respect to user and stakeholder rights and fair process. In keeping with the multi-stakeholder processes set out in this document, all parties have a role to play, including individuals, providers, intermediaries, and judicial authorities.
· Limit Internet intermediary liability:
Appropriate limitations of liability for Internet intermediaries have, and continue to play, a fundamental role, in particular with regard to third party content. Internet intermediaries, like other stakeholders, can and do play an important role by addressing and deterring illegal activity, fraud and misleading and unfair practices conducted over their networks and services as well as advancing economic growth. Limitations play an important role in promoting innovation and creativity, the free flow of information, and in providing the incentives for co-operation between stakeholders. Within this context governments may choose to convene stakeholders in a transparent, multi-stakeholder process to identify the appropriate circumstances under which Internet intermediaries could take steps to educate users, assist rights holders in enforcing their rights or reduce illegal content, while minimising burdens on intermediaries and ensuring legal certainty for them, respecting fair process, and more generally employing the principles identified in this document. In achieving these current objectives the social and economic costs and benefits, including impacts on Internet access, use, security and development of the policy options should be assessed as part of their development process as should also be their compatibility with the protection of all relevant fundamental rights and freedoms and their proportionality in view of the seriousness of the concerns at stake.
· Encourage co-operation to promote Internet security:
Policies to address security threats and reduce vulnerabilities are important to the continued vitality of the Internet. The implementation of internationally recognised, market-driven security standards and best practices to promote online security should be encouraged. In addition, breakthrough R&D on novel security systems capable of dealing with the high complexity of ICT networks, information systems and applications should be encouraged. Policies to enhance online security should not disrupt the framework conditions that enable the Internet to operate as a global open platform for innovation, economic growth, and social progress and should not be used as pretence for protectionism. Policies should also aim to enhance individual and collective efforts for self-protection and promote trust and confidence. Their consistency with, and potential impact on, other economic and social dimensions of the Internet should be carefully assessed through a multi-stakeholder process prior to adoption and implementation.
· Give appropriate priority to enforcement efforts:
Encouraging investment and innovation in the Internet marketplace requires clearly defined legal rights and a robust and fair process to protect those rights, including users' rights, consistent with the need of governments to enforce applicable law. It is important in this regard that governments, industry and civil society work together to foster respect for the law and protect fundamental rights. Sufficient government enforcement resources and industry co-operation should also be available to ensure that Internet-based activities comply with law. Current legislative and regulatory provisions could be reviewed to ensure that they can be effectively enforced and are consistent with fundamental rights. Finally, co-operation on cross-border investigations and enforcement actions should be improved.

The family members who provide care for the nation's wounded veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars need more support than they're getting, says a study of military caregivers released today by the RAND Corporation. The largest-ever survey of more than 1,000 military caregivers found that 25 percent are soldiers' parents, many of whom are growing older themselves and who will not always be up to the task.
"These post 9/11 caregivers are providing invaluable support to the veterans they're caring for," says Rajeev Ramchand, a behavioral scientist at the RAND Corporation. "If we don't step up to support them, their health and well-being will deteriorate. If that happens, the care they provide also deteriorates." If that happens, "veterans risk institutionalization, homelessness, morbidity and early death," says Ramchand. "Individuals need to plan for their future, but so does society."

According to RAND research, about 5.5 million informal caregivers care for vets with disabling illnesses and injuries. Nearly 20 percent of them take care of someone who has served since the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
In this latest RAND study Hidden Heroes: America's Military Caregivers, conducted last summer and fall, vets ranged from age 18 to 55. Forty-six percent of post 9/11 care recipients were ages 18 to 30, 48 percent were age 31 to 55 and six percent were age 56 to 65. Caregivers interviewed included family members (spouses, siblings, parents, children), friends and neighbors; 30 percent were under age 30.
Today's study, funded by the Elizabeth Dole Foundation, sought to understand the needs of mentally and physically injured or ill vets and their families. The report looked at current policies, programs and initiatives that support veterans, and ways to ensure the well-being of military caregivers now and later.
One reason RAND decided to conduct this research is because of the lack of public or private programs that target military caregivers. Services are more typically devoted to other kinds of caregivers, such as those who take care of people with dementia or cancer. But veterans have different issues, often behavioral health conditions such as depression and PTSD, as well as traumatic brain injury.

Included in the report were these recommendations:
- Find ways to build military caregivers' confidence and skills, lessen their stress and educate the public about their value
- Enlighten health care providers and employers about caregivers' roles and encourage them to be accommodating
- Make sure caregivers are eligible for programs and, while they're at it, expand respite services; typically, military programs are geared to the service member or veteran. Find and create programs and ways that help reduce their caregiving load, provide them health care and offset lost income.
- Think about the future when parents can no longer take care of their sons and daughters, and anticipate the needs of tomorrow's military caregivers who may be under siege in a quickly changing political and fiscal climate.

SANTA FE — New Mexico Tech, the U.S. Department of Labor's Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA), and several other state government entities have teamed up to assist with the development of an electronic inventory of maps for abandoned underground mines in New Mexico.
The New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources (NMBGMR) at New Mexico Tech, the New Mexico Bureau of Mine Inspection, and the Energy, Minerals, and Natural Resources Department will work jointly under a $50,000 grant from MSHA to inventory and electronically scan mine maps.
"The funding will allow for the cataloging and preservation of maps currently in the agencies' possession, and for the development of procedures to integrate the maps into the state's Mines Database," states Dr. Maureen Wilks, NMBGMR Geologic Librarian.
"The project will also serve as an opportunity to identify areas of the state where underground mining has occurred, but where maps of these mines have not yet been obtained by the state," Wilks adds.
This project is designed to increase the protection of mine workers and the public from the hazards of abandoned underground mines. The funds were appropriated to MSHA by Congress in response to the 2002 Quecreek disaster in Pennsylvania where nine miners were trapped underground by water from an adjacent abandoned mine.
For more information concerning the project or grant, contact Maureen Wilks at NMBGMR, New Mexico Tech, 801 Leroy Place, Socorro, NM 87801, or call 505.835.5322.

|Tom Dudgeon moored in very shallow water.
(illustration taken from Coot Club by Arthur Ransome)
But in many ways this state-of-affairs has turned out to be to my advantage. Large and deep boats are unable to visit the hundreds of thousands of superb shallow water destinations which abound along the coasts of most countries, and a cruise in a large boat can mean being imprisoned in a cabin or on a deck which is in constant motion while the crew view the exciting coastline from a long distance out. Every bar-crossing is a stressful event and very few nights on a cruise provide real rest because of the responsibilities of anchor watch.
On the other hand the dinghy cruiser can work up tiny creeks, cross bars where a mishap simply means stepping into ankle-deep water and pushing the boat across the obstacle into the calm on the other side of the bar. Some of the most enjoyable cruising I've done (all in dinghies - sail and power) has included sessions of travel along the coastline with the boat just outside the shore break. This is most exciting and enjoyable stuff, providing close-up views of beach, rocky headlands, mangrove creeks, breaking reefs, entrances to bays which are invisible to the crew of boats further offshore etc. Sailing, poling or rowing across flats covered by two feet of water is challenging and deeply satisfying. The options available to the beach-cruiser are manifold....
|Alec Morgan's camp ashore on an island in Moreton Bay during a solo beach-cruising expedition. The trip was of about five days duration, and involved a whole range of coastal activities including exits and entries across surf bars.
Anyway, I've found myself spending a life involving small trailer boats, and I still get excited every time I head out (and in when I'm tired/cold/hot/scared/hungry/sun burnt/hypothermic....)
|Graham Faulkner's Periwinkle in the beach slop
|Son David and me approaching the shore after a very wet and cold sail - heavily reefed and going like a rocket.
|Periwinkle under construction using glued-lapstrake techniques. Most of the weight in the internal structure gets left on the mold strongback.

|Cover shots from Chris Kulczycki's book The Canoe Shop in which I first read about the "Lap-Stitch" construction method. That is John Harris, owner of Chesapeake Light Craft, in the paddling photo.

|External glass cloth over the bottom panel and the first plank (garboard strake) on each side. The internal and external glass shown is as per instructions.
|Recent photo showing external paint nearing completion
|A long and lean boat - awaiting final internal sanding and painting
Well, that is a brief run-down on "Lap-Stitch". I think it has a place for some people - especially beginners. However, like all boat-building methods, it does require serious attention to detail, and should not be taken lightly. For myself, I'll stick to the normal method using a station mold and strongback, as I like the tighter glue-lines and neater work. My opinion is that I could have built the strongback, mold and the boat using conventional methods faster than by going through the messy gluing process and filling of hole associated with the "Lap-Stitch" system. But that is just my own opinion, and I can see a real place for "lap-Stitch" as long as the plank patterns are accurately deigned and cut, and that the person doing the work is happy with relatively heavy epoxy use in comparison with conventional glued-lapstrake. I'd say the building process is more simple for a tyro than the conventional method, but not any faster.

This is surely my wife, Marion, and our dog, Roscoe. I decided to marry her 30 years ago on a blanket in the park, just about like this. Roscoe even has an orange Frisbee, and Marion had red hair. We love that you featured Marion and Roscoe on the cover of our beloved New Yorker. That's our story, and we're sticking with it. Thank you.

Haven't played this in a couple of months. Mainly due to frequent crashes being kind of frustrating.
Since then, I've:
Got a new motherboard
Doubled my RAM (4gb)
Completely reinstalled Windows XP
New graphics card
Unity Web Player is up to date. Firefox is up to date. Game runs horribly sluggish and Unity Web Player crashes every few minutes. Kills my browser completely. Sometimes on the login screen, sometimes while loading the first dungeon run, sometimes the second. Pretty much exactly the same as it was when I quit playing it months ago.
I can't even comprehend how this is possible. At least you fixed the full screen cursor issues

Dear community,
I would be happy about any literature or comments on the behaviour of the pointwise product of eigenfunctions of a self-adjoint operator with discrete spectrum, acting on a separable Hilbert space which is closed under pointwise multiplication. The operator I'm actually looking at is a symmetric Markov operator acting on $L^2(\mathcal{A},\mu)$, where $\mathcal{A}$ is some function algebra and $\mu$ the invariant measure.
Some questions I'm especially interested in are:
If you multiply two eigenfunctions, can it happen that the product has an infinite eigenfunction expansion? By "infinite eigenfunction expansion" I mean that it can not be expressed as a finite sum of eigenfunctions.
Somewhat related: If the squares of two eigenfunctions have a finite expansion, respectively, can it happen that the square of the sum of these two eigenfunctions has an infinite expansion?
In the above Markov setting: Is the following "projected Cauchy-Schwarz inequality" always true? $$ \int \operatorname{proj}(fg \mid E)^2 \ \text{d} \mu \leq \sqrt{\int \operatorname{proj}(f^2 \mid E)^2 \ \text{d} \mu} \sqrt{\int \operatorname{proj}(g^2 \mid E)^2 \ \text{d} \mu} $$ Here, $f$ and $g$ are eigenfunctions lying in some common eigenspace, $E$ is another eigenspace and $\operatorname{proj}(f \mid E)$ denotes the projection of $f$ on $E$.
Note that the answer to questions 1 and 2 is no, if the eigenfunctions are orthogonal polynomials.
Thanks for your help,

|Generic Name
|Brand Name
These medicines are available in liquid or tablet form.
These medicines balance certain brain chemicals (neurotransmitters) that help regulate mood and control symptoms of bipolar disorder. They quickly improve manic episodes.
Antipsychotics are used to treat manic symptoms, such as reckless and impulsive behaviour, and to help stabilize moods. Antipsychotics may be used in combination with other medicines to treat bipolar disorder, like mood stabilizers.
Your doctor may prescribe an antipsychotic for only a short time to help your child deal with immediate symptoms. After other long-term medicines begin to work and symptoms improve, your child may be able to taper off and stop the short-term medicine.
Medicines for bipolar disorder in adults have been well studied. Early research shows antipsychotics are safe and effective for children and teens with bipolar disorder, but long-term studies are still under way.1
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine your child takes. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with the medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if your child has:
Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) is an extremely rare but serious side effect that has been reported by people who take antipsychotic medicines. NMS causes life-threatening problems with your body's ability to regulate its temperatures.
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if your child has a fever and:
Other side effects of antipsychotic medicines include:
It may take several attempts to find the right dose and medicine to treat your child's bipolar symptoms. Effectiveness and side effects for each medicine vary from person to person.
Some side effects are minor, and you can manage them through lifestyle changes such as exercise, relaxation techniques, and diet changes. Other side effects can be more serious and require changes to the dose or type of medicine.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. If your child takes medicine as your doctor suggests, it will improve your child's health and may prevent future problems. If your child doesn't take the medicines properly, his or her health (and perhaps life) may be at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
If your teen is pregnant or breast-feeding, do not use any medicines unless your doctor tells you to. Some medicines can harm the baby. This includes prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, herbs, and supplements. And make sure that all your doctors know that your teen is pregnant or breast-feeding.
Follow-up care is a key part of your child's treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if your child is having problems. It's also a good idea to know your child's test results and keep a list of the medicines your child takes.
Before your child takes an antipsychotic medicine, be sure to tell your doctor if your child has:
These medicines should be started in low doses. Talk with your doctor about any other medicines your child may be taking to make sure there are no negative drug interactions.
Your child may require regular liver tests, blood tests, and blood pressure monitoring while taking an antipsychotic medicine. Your doctor may also monitor your child's weight and blood sugar.
Avoid herbal stimulants (such as ma huang, ginseng, or kola) while taking an antipsychotic medicine.
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about drinking grapefruit juice while taking an antipsychotic medicine. Grapefruit juice can increase the level of these medicines in your child's blood. Having too much medicine in your child's blood increases the chances of having serious side effects.

Perpetual Rumor Post
McTaggart, 6:57pm:
In a response to Twitter outrage, McTaggart clarifies that "some teams" have been told he's not available. Not all.
Olney, 6:42pm:
Braves still trying to get creative on a deal for Pence.
Rosenthal, 6:40pm:
Astros, Phillies "progressing" toward a deal for Pence.
McTaggart, 6:37pm:
The Astros are telling teams that Clint Barmes is not available.
Rosenthal, 6:25pm:
Braves want an athletic corner outfielder they can control beyond this year. So that leaves...uh...
Rosenthal, 6:24pm:
The Phillies are going to have to choose between Pence and a reliever.
Stark, 6:12pm:
Stark references multiple sources that any deal with the Phillies will be a two-team trade.
Heyman, 5:55pm:
Pence is rumored to be moving "now," Phillies are faves, Reds, Red Sox, Indians still in.
Mark Sheldon, 4:17pm:
The Reds aren't selling, according to GM Walt Jocketty.
Olney, 4:15pm:
The Phillies "have no intention" of making Domonic Brown available in a trade for Pence. Olney makes a specific note of the time, with "as of..."
Phil Rogers, 3:39pm:
And here, out of nowhere, is Rogers saying how scouts have been talking about how hard Carlos Lee has been playing, and "is he looking to be an Indian or a Pirate?"
McTaggart, 3:36pm
A few things here. A deal with the Phillies would likely only involve the Astros. The Braves are still "in the mix" with a handful of unidentified teams. Bourn and Wandy are also drawing "heavy interest." Myers is getting some trade rumor love.
In the Phils House, 3:35pm:
Charlie Manuel just said that Dom Brown may be more relaxed in Triple-A. Not exactly a ringing endorsement.
Knobler, 3:24pm:
Braves CF Nate McLouth has just been put on the DL with a strained oblique. Interesting...
David O'Brien, 3:01pm:
The Braves may be out on Bourn because it would mean they're giving up on Jordan Schafer in CF. There will be more holes to fill this off-season, and they might just go with Quentin because he's cheaper, and will be a free agent sooner.
Zach Levine, 2:58pm:
Pence is in the Astros lineup, hitting 4th. (For now.)
Jeff Passan, 2:55pm:
The Tigers are shopping LHP Andy Oliver (4.64 ERA/1.47 WHIP) on multiple trade fronts.
Olney, 2:53pm:
Reds want players that will help, not just in 2011, but in 2012-13. (That's Bourn, and Pence).
Knobler, 2:46pm:
Braves looking at Ludwick, "holding tight" on their top pitching prospects
Heyman, 2:27pm:
Reds are "going hard" after Bourn.
Jim Bowden, 2:17pm:
Travis Wood has been scratched from his start at Triple-A Louisville tonight.
Matt Gelb, 2:16pm:
Domonic Brown is still in Philly, and batting 2nd tonight.
Heyman, 1:47pm:
Pence is the Phillies' guy. If it takes until Sunday, it takes until Sunday. No "early deadline."
Danny Knobler, 1:41pm:
Phillies are "focused" on Pence - and may not need a third team.
Mark Berman, 1:35pm:
Seven teams in on Pence, not just six - as reported yesterday. A new, unidentified, team showed up today.
Olney, 1:23pm:
We told you! Rival execs think Pence could command $23-25m before his arbitration years are up.
Heyman, 1:17pm:
If the Astros don't want Brown, other teams will. Philly will "figure it out," as they're - and this is creepy - "hot for Hunter."
McTaggart, 1:04pm:
McTaggart confirms Heyman's report that Pence was removed from the lineup, then put back in.
Rosenthal, 12:47pm:
What's taking so long? Astros are also trying to move Bourn, Wandy, Myers.
Sherman, 12:45pm:
Sherman is very clear about his speculation, but the Phillies had a scout at Double-A Trenton yesterday. Wonders if RHP Dellin Betances might be involved somehow.
Sherman, 12:30pm:
Contradiction alert! Now Wade likes Atlanta's prospects more than Philly! Philly also willing to go the three-team route.
Rosenthal, 12:30pm:
Confirms Stark's report about involving a third team in the Pence deal to get prospects the Astros want.
Heyman, 12:23:
Philly will do "whatever it takes" to land Pence.
Jayson Stark, 12:15pm:
Lots here to unpack. Braves offered package they weren't willing to offer for Beltran, got shut down, and have apparently moved on. Astros would spin Dom Brown for more prospects, and so work continues on a three-team deal.
Heyman, 11:39am:
"Word is," Astros don't like the Phillies prospects. (Posturing alert!) "This is becoming a real soap opera."
Rosenthal, 11:32am:
Wade is still trying to drag other teams into the Pence sweepstakes, besides the Phillies.
Bryan Hoch, 11:06am:
The Astros have lowered their asking price on Wandy, and the Yankees have "limited interest" in Brett Myers.
Joel Sherman, 10:47am:
Ed Wade likes Atlanta's deal better than the Phillies, but Atlanta won't include a "key guy," believed to be Mike Minor.
Buster Olney, 10:43am:
Atlanta has "zero enthusiasm" about giving up any of Minor, Vizcaino, Delgado, or Teheran.
Daniel Gotera (via H5AB), 10:40am:
Yankees have made multiple inquiries about Wandy.
FanGraphs, 10:30am:
The package being offered for Pence is too good to pass up - with Marc Hulet calling the deal "similar" to what the Blue Jays got for Halladay.
Jon Heyman, 10:22am:
Pence was told prior to last night's game he'd been traded. But, uh, wasn't. Heyman questions whether the Apparatus actually wants to trade him.
AJC's Jeff Schultz, 10:13am:
Braves catcher David Ross says they need a right-handed bat. Larry Wayne agrees that the Braves should do something.
Tom Singer, 10:00am:
Add the Tigers to the list of teams interested in Pence.
Justice, 9:52am:
If Wade does well over the next 60 hours, Justice is told he could save his job.
Jim Salisbury, 9:47am:
July 29 is the day Ruben Amaro tends to work his magic.
Rosenthal, 9:34am:
The Reds are in on Bourn, as well as Pence, but Pence is the Phillies' to lose.
Heyman, 8:42am:
If the Phillies sub in Dom Brown for Jonathan Singleton, the Astros might take it.
Heyman, 8:10am:
Asking price for Pence remains unreasonable.
Olney, 5:11am:
Huge bidding war going on for Pence.
Jon Paul Morosi, 4:11am:
Morosi thinks the Reds should acquire Michael Bourn.

I've been following this post all day, keep up the awesome coverage Astros County!

If the Phillies really offered Brown and we don't end up with him, this whole process has been a disaster.

You guys are killing it on this post... My one stop Hunter Pence trade rumor shop!
- July 29, 2011 at 1:22 PM
Dude, why would we not want Brown to play right field for us, do we hate power hitting left handers that play good defense? I love how he is at worst a Pence caliber player. Please do not Gose this guy and flip him for crap. I think Wallace is actually good, just a expression.
- July 29, 2011 at 2:05 PM
Agree with everyone here. I would love to have Brown. In other news, Travis Wood (CIN) was apparently scratched from his AAA start today. A Bourn for Wood swap would be awesome, I think he is a great young arm.

This Patient Won't Let Surgery Keep Him Down
I would like to introduce you to Christopher Bauer. Chris is my former patient who is an inspiration for my own sporting undertakings.
Chris is a 48-year-old IT professional. His job is in Chicago, IL, but his wife lives here in Bethlehem and is a very busy professional herself.
What they have in common is a love for endurance sports. Chris is originally from New Jersey and he formerly participated on the US Ski Team.
I met Chris when he came to CORE Physical Therapy as a patient seeking knee rehabilitation. Chris had surgery on his knee and foot in November of last year. I was impressed by Chris's unusual motivation and drive to recover. I was amazed also by his pain threshold. It was one of those rare situations when a patient demanded to be pushed harder, and I was the one who had to hold it back a little (usually I am doing the pushing).
After his return to the Windy City, Chris continued to work on his knee and gradually resumed his training. He completed the Washington DC Marathon on March 23, 2011, and decided that he was ready to take on more difficult challenges in the months to come.
Recently, Chris completed a 50-mile (that's right: 5-0) trail run in Wisconsin in just under 10 hours.
Here is an excerpt from an e-mail Chris sent me after the race:
"The whole experience was a blast – I love trail running! It was pretty exhausting but not boring at all. Great scenery, great terrain of rocks & roots and single track and ups & downs . . . Almost everyone trips at some point during the race on rocks, roots or something, and half the time fall down. I stubbed my newly repaired left big toe not once but twice on rocks around miles 18 & 19 – thought I broke it too. After a mile or so it seemed to get better – either that, or my body began hurting more in other places J In the last 10 miles or so, my toe actually felt more flexible than ever before so maybe stubbing it just broke up some of the adhesions that may have been there post-surgery. It's feeling just fine right now."
Chris will be running a 100-mile race on June 4.
Chris is 48, he commutes between Chicago and Bethlehem while holding a busy job, and he recently had knee and foot surgery. If that doesn't inspire you to get off your couch and become physically active, I don't know what will.
Check this blog often for updates on Chris' athletic exploits, and feel free to leave messages of encouragement for Chris. I'll make sure he sees them.

Each week we post a round-up of some of our most exciting national and international PUP book coverage. Reviews, interviews, events, articles–this is the spot for coverage of all things "PUP books" that took place in the last week. Enjoy!
While the unrest in Ukraine continues, experts on Russia are dusting off their interview materials. PUP author Angela Stent has seen her schedule fill up as Americans look for answers to the questions surrounding the status of Crimea and the relationship between the US and Russia. Stent is quoted in a recent New York Times article, where Jason Horowitz addresses the shortage of experts and scholars well-versed in all things Russia. Many in the field see the focus on other areas of the world, including Asia and the Middle East, as the reason for a drop-off in the US's attention to Russia. Stent says:
When we've all retired, 10, 20 years down the road, I don't know how many people will be left with this area of expertise. And we can't assume that our relationship with Russia won't suddenly command a lot of attention. Because as we can see, it does.
Stent's recently-published book, The Limits of Partnership, reflects the unique perspective of an insider who is also recognized as a leading expert on this troubled relationship. Stent vividly describes how Clinton and Bush sought inroads with Russia and staked much on their personal ties to Boris Yeltsin and Vladimir Putin–only to leave office with relations at a low point–and how Barack Obama managed to restore ties only to see them undermined by a Putin regime resentful of American dominance and determined to restore Russia's great power status. The book calls for a fundamental reassessment of the principles and practices that drive U.S.-Russian relations, and offers a path forward to meet the urgent challenges facing both countries.
Check out POLITICO's Bookshelf blog list, which highlights The Limits of Partnership and other titles essential to understanding tomorrow's headlines. To preview the book for yourself, read the introduction here.
Stent was recently interviewed by Wolf Blitzer on CNN's Newsroom, as well as on WBUR's "On Point." View this interview on PBS Newshour:
Decision time is almost here. For high school seniors applying to colleges and universities, the nervous email checks and trips to the mailbox are almost over. So for students and parents waiting on those last few coveted acceptance letters, have you ever wondered what makes up your odds? Besides SATs and GPAs, is there another way to predict which students will be accepted to which colleges? Gregory Clark has your answer. In his new book, The Son Also Rises, Clark explains why many common ideas about social mobility are incorrect. Clark studied the frequency of admission to Oxford and Cambridge, looking back to as early as 1170 (no online applications then, right?), and he found that movement on the social ladder has changed little over eight centuries.
The Son Also Rises was reviewed in Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, featured on the WSJ.com's Japan RealTime blog, and mentioned in both the Sunday Times and the Financial Times. You can check out one of the many intriguing graphs from the book on Slate's Moneybox blog.
Looking for a break from re-reading the Times Higher Education's recent ranking of the world's most reputable universities? (Shout out to our very own taking number seven. Go Princeton!) Check out the introduction here.
Intrigued when you stumble upon an undeveloped disposable camera from circa 1998? We can do you one better — we're talking 1870. Errol Fuller's Lost Animals is a unique photographic record of extinction, presented by a world authority on vanished animals. Covering 28 extinct species, Lost Animals includes familiar examples like the last Passenger Pigeon, Martha, and one of the last Ivory-billed Woodpeckers, photographed as it peers quizzically at the hat of one of the biologists who has just ringed it. But the book includes rare images as well, many never before published. Collected together here for the first time, these photographs provide a tangible link to animals that have now vanished forever, in a book that brings the past to life while delivering a warning for the future.
The book was recently featured in the Washington Post, where Nancy Szokan says:
Errol Fuller's new book is a visual lament. Lost Animals is a handsome but sad record of animals that existed for millennia–long enough for photography to be invented–but have now disappeared from the face of the Earth. The images are accompanied by short, evocative texts about the creatures and the naturalists who recorded their existence.
Interested in a preview of the photos? The New York Times' 6th Floor blog recently ran an online slideshow of the photos. The writers there remark:
Erroll Fuller's Lost Animals: Extinction and the Photographic Record is a sad and moving collection of passenger pigeons, heath hens, Tasmanian tigers and other vanished animals….[A] blurry glimpse is still a worthy glimpse when it comes to seeing a number of species in their last moments."
