Ubuntu…Please Don't Release on Time!
The update process in Ubuntu has …. well it has gotten out of control. There is no doubt that updates are a necessity for security patches and bug fixes…no argument there. However, Ubuntu seems to want to build the operating system as they go… having you download huge numbers of updates, often daily. Many users have complained bitterly about this as they do not have the bandwidth to justify the updates and they do not enjoy the experience being forced to update almost daily.
I believe this whole issue is forced on the developers because of the release schedule which is rigid. Now Canonical may be proud that they release on time but they should be ashamed in releasing too soon.
Take a look at the LTS version of the server. When it released it did not have LVM2, it did not have all of the updated software raid tools, it did not have acls installed either. Each of these is a standard option that any administrator would want available, especially in the LTS version. They could be installed manually once you installed 8.04 but they were later installed via the update process. The point is, Ubuntu should have released a solid up to date server version in 8.04, not build it as you go with updates. Administrators depend on their servers being up to speed when they install. In addition, adding LVM2, raid tools and acls at a later date after the installation are problematic.
The LTS version of the Desktop was even worse. In fact, there were so many updates that the 8.04.1 version had to be released. Canonical created many angry users over the fact that since 8.04.1 many users thought it was a whole new version so they wiped out there system and installed new. The process was confusing to users and unpleasant. In fact, if users kept up with the updates they had 8.04.1 already installed.
The 8.04 or now 8.04.1 version was supposed to be the long term support version that was more stable and would be a solid foundation for a long time. Unfortunately the constant updates has put that in question.
October 28, 2008 at 4:19 pm
One of the most fun things to do in Ubuntu, is updating your system. I love it. It's like Christmas Eve, every day.
October 29, 2008 at 4:26 am
I don't think, as you say, that you're "forced to update almost daily".
You can just wait until you find the update you want to come out, and then update. Or if you really need a package that's not in the repos, compile it.
October 29, 2008 at 11:48 am
Enable only the security, main, universe e multiverse repositories, and disable updates and backport repositories.
October 29, 2008 at 6:42 pm
I think you're a bit confused here. 8.04 had all the capabilities that you mention as part of the release: RAID and LVM for example. Some of these things are not turned on by default, so when you installed them on your system Ubuntu started offering security or bug fixes for those applications. So this statement is not correct:
"They could be installed manually once you installed 8.04 but they were later installed via the update process"
I don't know about "too many updates" but there are certainly a lot of updates to the LTS (Long Term Support) release. This is because the LTS receives a point release three months after release (8.04.1) and then every six months after that (8.04.2, 8.04.3 etc). The reason is that lots of users run the LTS release on stable systems that they want to keep in production for a long time. So the point releases provide a way for the Project to provide all the bug-fixes with support for any new server hardware: this means you'll be able to install the Ubuntu 8.04 release on new hardware in 3 years time!
Stability for production systems is very important and lots of people value that, so the LTS releases aim to satisfy that need. Equally, developers and faster moving technologists want the latest and greatest free software, the standard six month releases (maintained for 18 months) meet this need. So there should always be a choice of Ubuntu that suits your needs!
October 29, 2008 at 7:40 pm
Hmm. This sounds like a bit of bullocks…
"In fact, there were so many updates that the 8.04.1 version had to be released. Canonical created many angry users over the fact that since 8.04.1 many users thought it was a whole new version so they wiped out there system and installed new. The process was confusing to users and unpleasant. In fact, if users kept up with the updates they had 8.04.1 already installed."
Wow, many users thought 8.04.1 was a brand new version, requiring a reinstall?
Who are these people, what can be done to prevent them from thinking a 0.0.1 increment in version doesn't require anything but standard upgrading, just like all the other ubuntu releases…
That aside, I would go out on a limb and say that because 8.04 was released, some people who never used it during the testing phase, found bugs. As such they get resolved, and then updates.
As for the bandwidth, as someone who has used 56k (at like 2.3 kBps because of crap infrastructure), all the way back to 300 baud in the 80's.
The downloads Ubuntu procures, can be resumed, don't interfere with the application you are using. I.E. You can update OpenOffice, while you using OpenOffice.
So you could leave the downloads going on in the background as you work, with zero trouble. Even if takes a few days at these speeds, how did they manage to get a 700mb iso in the first place.
Bugs need to be fixed. This article doesn't make sense. Let's say Ubuntu holds it's release some arbitrary amount of time. These people that never help during testing due to bandwidth constraints or what not, find bugs. They get fixed.
That's software.
Ubuntu release on time please. Don't listen to people who say otherwise, unless they can formulate a more robust opinion than um, too many updates… Sheesh.
October 29, 2008 at 10:16 pm
For me it is a legitimate excuse in the office to "take a day off from daily routine" for installing a new version of Ubuntu once every six months. So I really like that Ubuntu releases are scheduled.
November 2, 2008 at 2:47 pm
Linux evolves constantly, unlike most proprietary offerings. A benefit of this evolution is the opportunity to update your system on an ongoing basis. If this bothers you, let me suggest Windows 98. Simply switch to Win 98 and you will never be bothered with updates again.
November 3, 2008 at 12:09 pm
Use Debian Stable. They release when it's ready.
Of course, then people complain that releases are late. You can't have it both ways: either you get releases which are like clockwork and have the latest software but have problems like broken PulseAudio (Ubuntu); or you get releases that happen when they're ready and with few bugs, but with unpredictable release dates and older software (Debian).
A better alternative to telling Ubuntu not to release on time is to use Debian.
November 3, 2008 at 12:58 pm
Reminds me of my nursery rhyme. Pease porridge … , some like it hot, some like it cold, some like it in the pot three days old!! Chacun a son gout!
November 3, 2008 at 2:32 pm
Hmm…I strongly agree with the article as soon as 8.04 was released there were about 3 updates to the kernel in a matter of one month… And who said that they have the latest software? openoffice 3 is not visible in the 8.10 release and only now the latest version of Azureus(Azure) has been included. (I was in fedora 6 months ago)… But Ubuntu is great to get you started in the linux world since it has an extensive support for drivers
November 4, 2008 at 8:21 am
Canonical created many angry users over the fact that since 8.04.1 many users thought it was a whole new version so they wiped out there system and installed new. The process was confusing to users and unpleasant. In fact, if users kept up with the updates they had 8.04.1 already installed.
This is not Canonicals fault. This is simply a lack of knowledge on the part of the users. If they wiped their installations to get a newer version, they never grasped the way the update system works of the OS they are using.
Just because Canonical releases a respin, which is not uncommon in the Linux world (Fedora does it too), doesn't mean that they released an unfinished product. A respin is a service; it saves people who download the LTS at a later point the hassle of downloading all of the released updates. It can not be seen as an admission that the previous version wasn't good.
Another thing is the confusion about stable. Stable means that the base system won't change software versions. It doesn't mean that bugs in software won't be fixed and that the release will remain static till the next version.
If Canonical did add new software through updates (don't know if they did), than that is expanding the OS after the release. Then again, when did that software get released upstream and how essential was that software for users? You can't release software before it exists and you can't wait forever for all the pieces to be ready. Maybe it wasn't tennable either to go five years without it.
It's one of the drawbacks of the GNU/Linux model. Your system is built from many pieces from different places. There is no monolithic entity in GNU/Linux building every piece at the same time and then doesn't release anything big for a while. If that is your thing, go MS, Apple or *BSD.

For now God has work for me to do here, but one day.........ReplyDelete
Words for us all to live by my dear. Thank you for reminding us all.
What a beautiful post! I love the picture, it is very peaceful. I've read several Max Lucado books, one I can't remember the name, I never finished reading. I was going through a difficult time and the words were so true and helpful. But I would read a few pages and cry. I think the words did help and the difficult times passed but I didn't finish the book. I guess the thought of trying to go back to read it brought back the memory of too many sad times.ReplyDelete
Beautiful post, Terri! I find great comfort in a Thomas Kinkade painting myself . . . my mom had several, Thomas Kinkade paintings throughout her home that I hope to acquire very soon . . . his paintings are so peaceful and lifting.ReplyDelete
I bet my mom is up there with your mom, my Oma, her two brothers, my Opa, your Darrell, all enjoying your mom's Banana Cream Pie and my mom's, made from scratch, Pineapple Upside-Down cake, that so many loved . . . like you, I have much work to do here but I know one day, we will all be hanging out together again!
Lovely Terri, I'm glad it gives you a sense of peace. The painting is beautiful. Just remember, your mom and your husband are watching over you.ReplyDelete

While their head-coaching job was vacant, the Cardinals seemed to be looking for a reason not to promote defensive coordinator Ray Horton to the next level. But they can't say it's because they weren't comfortable with Horton's proposed offensive coordinator.
Horton tells Burns and Gambo on Arizona Sports 620 in Phoenix that Norv Turner would have been in the cards for, um, the Cards.
"Unequivocally," Horton said regarding whether he could have delivered Turner. "All the way throughout the process.
"His wife, Nancy, wanted to come here," Horton said. "Everybody was aware, I talked to Norv. His wife wanted to come here, they have a daughter in San Diego. They wanted to be close to home. They were excited about the possibility. He had worked with [quarterback] Kevin Kolb at the Senior Bowl."
Despite reports that Horton was livid as a result of the decision to hire Bruce Arians instead as the head coach, Horton said he respects the decision that was made, that he understands it, and that he wasn't upset.
More broadly, Horton has no concerns about the fact that he wasn't hired to be a head coach in the current cycle, explaining that he understands owners currently are looking for offensive-minded coaches. He called speculation that the length of his hair kept him from getting the job "absurd" and "idiotic."
As to Arians' decision not to keep Horton as defensive coordinator, Horton likewise has no hard feelings. "He just said, 'Ray, if I get the Phoenix job, you're not my guy,' even though we were worked together in Pittsburgh, even though we're friends," Horton said. "And I respected that. And that's all you want is honesty, so he doesn't leave you hanging and try to blame somebody else and say, 'Oh well, it came from up above my pay grade, that they don't want you, they do want you, blah blah blah.' Honesty, up front, be a man. Everybody's a man, and off you go. And Bruce and I are friends right this second."
It's a great attitude, and it's the right attitude. Some will say that Horton is simply saying all the right things in order to get hired to be a head coach in the future. To that we say, if that's the case, he's doing it well.

Grant Green
Grant Green's second session with organist Larry Young, Street of Dreams brings back drummer Elvin Jones and adds Bobby Hutcherson on vibes for a mellow, dreamy album that lives up to its title. There are only four selections, all standards and all around eight to ten minutes long, and the musicians approach them as extended mood pieces, creating a marvelously light, cool atmosphere that's maintained throughout the record. Hutcherson is the perfect addition for this project, able to blend in with the modal advancement of the rest of the ensemble while adding his clear, shimmering tone to the overall texture of the album. All the musicians play with a delicate touch that's quite distinct from the modal soul-jazz on Talkin' About; it's not so much romantic as thoughtful and introspective, floating along as if buoyed by clouds. There aren't really any fireworks or funky grooves, as the music is all of a piece, which makes it difficult to choose the highlights from French songwriter Charles Trenet's "I Wish You Love," "Lazy Afternoon," the title track, or "Somewhere in the Night." It's another fine record in a discography filled with them, and yet another underrated Green session. ~ Steve Huey

So why a post about Petaluma's Rocky Memorial Dog Park? The answer is simple. I have been more or less restricted to quarters with a troublesome shoulder for two weeks and jumped at an invitation from neighbors to ride along with them to the park with Charley, their 85 pound Chesador.
It was quite an experience. A great cure for my cabin fever, if you will.
What the heck! Who am I kidding?
It was great fun watching the dogs running free, playing, socializing, and having an all around good time.
This is also the case for the "humans" in the park. As one person put it: "This is a wonderful place for both canines and humans to socialize and exercise. It's better than the coffee shop. There are walking paths, fresh air and the ability to watch dogs of all sizes, shapes, colors and personalities. The dogs love the park, the open space to run and play. You can hear them barking and howling from the cars and trucks as the owners pull into the parking lot."
Rocky Memorial is quite large, almost 8 acres and is well maintained by the users. It was named after Rocky, a famed Petaluma Police K-9 that saved an officer's life and later died in the line of duty while working in Colorado.
Perhaps the scene is best described by a few photos. Check out the slideshow below

Obviously this makes her sound very grown-up and clever when in fact she quite often slides off her chair, rolls over to the couch, picks up the remote and watches an episode of Mad Men or 30 Rock when she should be working.
You can find her on Facebook as Sarah-Kate Lynch - Writer (another good way for her to use up some writing time) or follow her on Twitter which is not so helpful for time-wasting purposes as everything is only 140 characters and Sarah-Kate's sneezes are longer than 140 characters. She's also on Instagram which she loves because it's only pictures.
She usually lives in a cliff-top house on the wild west coast of New Zealand but likes to escape whenever possible for "research" purposes to far-flung spots in pretty parts of the world where she enjoys the local cuisine and the odd glass of wine.
Also, she will be quick to point out - should you ever accuse her of constantly being on holiday – that as Travel Editor of New Zealand's biggest-selling weekly magazine it is her JOB to be in foreign parts, so you can rack off if you think it's all beer and skittles.
Even if it is actually all beer and skittles.
Sarah-Kate has a very nice husband called The Ginger and a lazy Kerry blue terrier called Ted. One can be found lying at her feet staring at her adoringly and the other is a dog.
When not performing feats displaying her spectacular literary prowess, she enjoys making things up and talking about herself in the third person.
The interestingly uncomplicated life of a Kerry blue terrier.
Ted never quite grasped the concept of a "pillow".
Though to be fair, he wasn't entirely clear on what to do with a bed either...
Ted could not step in puddles, walk across prickles, or avoid peeing on his own feet...but he did show exceptional taste in fiction.
Even if I'm never quite sure where I am.

The Sports Xchange
By Mike Shalin, The Sports Xchange
BOSTON - John Lackey pitched seven innings of two-hit ball in his second straight strong start and Mike Carp hit a three-run homer, powering the Red Sox to a rain-soaked 8-1 victory over the Cleveland Indians Friday night.
Lackey, 3-4 in his comeback season from Tommy John surgery, gave up two hits and an unearned run in the third inning but didn't allow another hit in his second straight win. He walked three and struck out eight while out-pitching Cleveland ace and former Red Sox righty Justin Masterson (7-3).
Lackey hasn't allowed an earned run and has yielded just three hits in 13 innings over his last two starts.
The loss, the third in the last four games, dropped the previously surging Indians out of first place in the AL Central, a half-game behind the Tigers.
Carp ended an 0-for-21 slump with his third homer of the season in the second inning. The Red Sox got another run in the sixth on an RBI fielder's choice by Mike Napoli, who was safe at first on a bad throw by second baseman Jason Kipnis. Jacoby Ellsbury and Dustin Pedroia both delivered a two-run singles in the seventh.
The Red Sox, just 9-12 in their last 21 games, remained a game behind the Yankees in the AL East.
Masterson, who had won his three previous starts and had allowed no runs in 16 innings in his last two, worked six-plus innings in this one. He left after a leadoff double by Jarrod Saltalamacchia. Indians manager Terry Francona, in his second game back at Fenway Park as an opposing manager, received big ovations while making two pitching changes.
The Red Sox are 4-1 against Francona's Indians this season, scoring 27 runs in the four wins.
It rained through the entire game, easing up at times.
Heavy rain began falling about two hours before the scheduled game time. The start was delayed 44 minutes and the game began in a steady, blowing rain.
The Red Sox took a 3-0 lead in the second inning when David Ortiz walked and moved to second on a single by Napoli. After Ortiz went to third on Saltalamacchia's liner to right, Carp ripped his homer to right field, ending Masterson's 20-inning scoreless streak.
The Indians got a run back in a lengthy third. Mark Reynolds and Michael Brantley opened with singles but were still on first and second with two out when Reynolds led a double steal. He wound up scoring when Saltalamacchia overthrew third. Reynolds might have been in trouble at the plate, but Carp mishandled the wet ball in left field.
Kipnis walked and stole the third base of the inning, his 10th of the season. But Asdrubal Cabrera grounded out and the Indians settled for the one unearned run. It was the second unearned run scored on Lackey in his last two starts.
Pedroia, whose diving stab started a double play on Jason Giambi in the Cleveland second, banged into one of his own to end the Boston third.
NOTES: The Indians welcomed 1B Nick Swisher back from the paternity list after he spent three days with wife JoAnna following the birth of their first child. The White Sox sent 2B Cord Phelps back to the minors to make room for Swisher. ... The Red Sox had a bit of a roster shakeup earlier in the day with three health-related moves. Third baseman Will Middlebrooks (back) and right fielder Shane Victorino (hamstring) were both disabled, Victorino retroactive to May 21, and INF Jose Iglesias and RHP Alfredo Aceves were recalled from Pawtucket. Also, C David Ross was activated from the concussion DL and C Ryan Lavarnway was returned to Triple-A. ... In four starts with the PawSox after his demotion, Aceves was 2-1 with a 3.13 ERA. He was slated for long relief with the Sox. He pitched a scoreless ninth inning on Friday... Middlebrooks was in an 0-for-11 slump that dropped his batting average to .201. ... Iglesias, a shortstop prospect, made his second career start at 3B on Friday, both appearances coming in the last three days. ... Indians LHP Scott Kazmir (2-2) continues his comeback attempt when he faces Boston LHP Jon Lester (6-1) in Game 3 of the series on Saturday.

Wow, a piece of not-so-good-actually news about CD Projekt RED (CDPR). That is something you usually do not get to read around the internet, much less from Techie Buzz (and indeed from me, the self-confessed Witcher fanboy). But apparently, CDPR has been showing an angelic we really care for that small group of legitimate gamers more than pirates or piracyside to the world, while pursuing shakedown procedures against those who had allegedly pirated the game.
The developers of The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings, one of the most highly anticipated role playing game sequels to be released this year, claimed that the number of torrent downloads of The Witcher 2 had exceeded 4.5 million, but their concern was with the removal of draconian DRM schemes that hindered their legitimate customers from having a good experience of the game. In the words of CDPR CEO Marcin Iwinski:-
In any case, I am not saying that we have eliminated piracy or there is not piracy in the case of TW2. There is, and TW2 was [illegally] downloaded by tens of thousands of people during the first two weeks after release. Still, DRM does not work and however you would protect it, it will be cracked in no time. Plus, the DRM itself is a pain for your legal gamers this group of honest people, who decided that your game was worth the 50 USD or Euro and went and bought it. Why would you want to make their lives more difficult?
The game was also released on GOG.com, CD Projekt's classic game digital distribution service, with much fanfare and the promise of no DRM. All this seemed to indicate that the company was genuinely concerned with its small set of legit customers. However, it seems that CDPR had a sinister plan of making some pirates cough up exorbitant amounts, or threatening to sue them to infinity and beyond.
The CEO told TorrentFreak earlier that the company will be using torrent sneaking companies and legal firms to track down pirates of the game and make them pay the unbelievably high sum of €911.80 (about $1187). Apparently this has already begun in many parts of Germany and also comes with the collateral of people whose IPs had torrented the game, but the owner of the IP had never heard of such a game mostly because of the concept of WiFi piggybacking, which is something these law firms have never heard of, apparently.
While we all condone piracy, we must remember that these are not the kind of measures that would stop piracy. Indeed, there is nothing in the world that can stop piracy; if a consumer software costs money, someone somewhere is already pirating it for the masses.
These vile measures from a company whose policies I have come to respect are definitely not in keeping with their reputation. CD Projekt RED must stop this nonsense at once and at least demand the price of the game during release, if not anything else.

I'm going to be testing some new kites this weekend- will be buying a new quiver sometime this season. I'll have access to RRD, Ozone, Cabrinha, Ocean Rodeo, and Epic's lineups.
Have been flying a quiver of 2007 Cabrinha Omegas (7m, 9m, 12m)for the last 6 years in the 1:1 configuration (like a switchblade 2). They have been great, solid kites to progress on for my wife and I (120 lbs and 150 lbs), and we are now jumping and starting to learn backloops etc (veteran intermediate riders). We'll be keeping the current cab quiver and want to get something substantially different and unique. At some point we'll be venturing into the waves, but will be primarily freeriding in the flats.
Obviously I won't be able to try out every kite in all of those lineups, but I'd like to get a taste of some of the most unique kinds of kites that have been developed in the last 6 years. What stand-out models from each of those brands would you all recommend to experience the full gamut of the different styles of kites available these days? Last time I was paying attention there were deltas and hybrids, etc, but it doesn't seem like anyone is really differentiating kites in that manner anymore, so I'm just trying to get my bearings of where to start.
Appreciate any insight or suggestions!

settled along the sands and surf in Virginia Beach, the Sea Gull is conveniently located on the Resorts' Oceanfront Boardwalk. Over the years, our Beautiful Beachfront setting has offered visitors an enjoyable facility adding to their many unforgettable memories...
The area is one of the most beautiful in Greece, rich in plantation, with untouchable endless beaches, where even today, those giant sea turtles "Caretta-caretta", choose to build their nests, a few minutes outside the village of Kalo Nero.
Kyparissia is famous for its climate and products. But the most exciting characteristic is the Sunrise and especially the Sunset that makes the horizon dive in a kind of flame… "I admire there the most beautiful sunset of my travels!" said Clemanseau, when he came in town, in the 20th century, to initiate the railway.
There are some important religious holidays such as: Trinity Sunday and the Day of the Holy Cross and every summer the municipality organises cultural events.
With a past that disappears in prehistoric times and mythology, Kyparissia lies at the foot of Egaleo Mountain with the blue-green waters of the Ionian lying at her feet.
It is also called "Double City" because it consists of the upper city, which is the traditional one with cobbled roads, roofed verandas and the incredibly beautiful view to the open sea, and the down town, the modern one, with the contemporary buildings and the governmental and financial centre of the area.
Surely its trademark is Neda, the famous river that travels you to mythology or dream's ways. The river hides a huge variety of pictures: torrents, tributaries, ravines hill or vegetation, idyllic lagoons the canyon of incredible beauty, the dark cave (stomio) with bats, small or big waterfalls, arched bridges… everything is impressive! Every year it attracts a lot of people to adventurous enjoyable canyoning. The area is shelter to the Mediterranean sea - turtle "caretta - caretta" which is reproduced there. You can find more information about it at the appropriate desks which make the public aware.
From April to October there are charter flights to Kalamata Airport and Araxos Airport (Patras), from various European cities. Also, there are daily scheduled flights from most European countries to Athens International Airport. The distance Athens - Tripoli - Kyparissia is 260 Km long and can be covered by car in approximately 3 ½ hours. The road takes you through the vineyards of Korinthia and the mountainous masses of Arkadia before you reach the fertile Messinian valley. If required we can make arrangements for a transfer by taxi or a rental car.
If you are planning a trip with your own car, there are daily ferryboat services from Italy (Venice, Ancona, Bari, Brindisi) to Patra. The distance Patra – Kalo Nero is about 150 km (2 hours drive).
Kyparissia is also connected to Athens by bus. The bus can by taken at the Bus Terminal of Kifissos in Athens and covers the distance in about 4 hours. There are several bus services throughout the day.

The AFL-CIO posts the following question on it Web site: "The sustained war on workers from the right has left unions trying to prevent rights from being weakened rather than setting the agenda. Where are the opportunities to play some offense?"
The answers are all over the lot; no coherent agenda is evident. But that does not mean that a coherent agenda cannot be imagined.
The first and essential element of such an agenda is anger. During the heyday of the union movement, the more so in its early years, anger was manifest, directed at "the bosses." But the anger was and is constricted by four contextual conditions: First, the system developed a brilliant capacity for diverting attention from issues that might have provoked anger by offering, instead, bread and circuses — bread and circuses, football and baseball and basketball [pace, ice hockey and soccer fans] and a lottery culture.
The rich and super-rich were less reviled than they were regarded as lucky. The life styles of the rich and famous were seductions; intended to or not, they channeled what might have developed into anger into more pacific responses. Not lust but envy was the principal response.
Second: To propose anger is to invite attention to class, and class is a taboo concept (save for the middle class) in America. We take pride in our classnessness, or did, and to introduce class into the conversation is to be accused or promoting class warfare.
Third: The union movement is not what it was. The system not all that long ago offered suitable villains. But wonder of wonders, the war against unions — think, for example, Wisconsin — even a naked assault on unions, and especially on unions representing public workers, proceeds with only minor bumps along the way.
Fourth, the standard paradigm "back then" was employers vs. employees. In an economy heavily rooted in production, that was an easy and readily available call. But the economy has changed. In the place of producers, we now have money managers. It is harder, much harder, to penetrate the arcane and in many ways abstract world of finance than it was to know the factory on the other side of town. (As a child, I toured the great Ford factory in Dearborn, Michigan, watched as cars were built from scratch. What is there to see in the world of finance? Computer screens.)
Comes the perennial question: Can there be anger that is amorphous, anger not directed at an identifiable opponent but as a habit of mind and heart? The very thought of that, let alone its practice, is exhausting. And what, in any case, would be the point of it? A fraternity for the disaffected, the resentful, the aggrieved?
The Occupy movement gave us an appetizer, a tiny taste of what confrontation would feel like. By and large, it was allowed to happen, but in the end it was more reminiscent of Woodstock then of the march on the Pentagon as immortalized by Norman Mailer. America is dazzlingly talented at absorbing such anger as is — rarely — expressed against its policies and practices, featuring it on the cover of Time magazine and then going stoically about its business. George W. Bush nominates Samuel Alito to take the place of Sandra Day O'Connor on the Supreme Court, thereby changing American history, and a largely pro forma fight over Alito's confirmation only scratches the nominee.
Well, surely the voters will punish the obstreperous Tea Party members of the House of Representatives, no?
A weak, very weak, "maybe." For before the general election there is the primary, and the primary is where the Tea Party shines, offering fool's gold to those in search of glitter.
No, I fear that anger — or, to use a better word, "indignation" — is not, at least not these days, a resource on which we can easily draw. The most telling example may well be our growing reliance on drones, superficially impersonal engines of death, detonation from thousands of miles away, death at a distance. It is altogether too easy to ignore the damage they do in our name. Or, for that matter, to make peace with it, since we can pretend that we have no relationship to this new form of targeted assassination (along with its inevitable "collateral" damage). Once, it was possible to pray that lightning would strike our enemies; now, we need not await nature's intervention: We can and do ourselves manufacture the lightning.
If our use of drones can proceed, as it does, with minimal scrutiny and with minimal debate, let alone with minimal anger, then perhaps that is the new archetype for our time. (I am reminded of Jung's definition of archetype: "A primitive mental image inherited from the earliest human ancestors, ever present in our collective unconscious.")
Am I alone in seeing irony here — a spectacular technological achievement that draws on our inherited primitive collective unconscious?
Anger? Why bother? Why infuse the dramatically impersonal with the baggage of anger, so personal a stance? We are, for worse, innocents at anger. And everything we experience reinforces that innocence.

A former financial director for an American Red Cross chapter in New York was sentenced Wednesday to 2-1/3 to 7 years in prison for embezzling more than $274,000 from the organization.
A former financial director for an American Red Cross chapter in New York was sentenced Wednesday to 2-1/3 to 7 years in prison for embezzling more than $274,000 from the organization.
"The bottom line is she stole money that was donated to the American Red Cross to help victims of disasters," said Red Cross spokesman Sam Kille. "So we're very glad that justice has finally been served."
Deborah Leggio, 50, pleaded guilty more than a year ago to grand larceny and using a false instrument for filing. Her sentencing was delayed to give her a chance to make restitution but she has only paid back $9,500, said Assistant Suffolk County District Attorney Ming Liu Parson.
"We were rather shocked in the end to find so little a sum was provided by her," said Parson, who had requested the maximum sentence of 3 to 9 years in prison.
Under the plea deal, Leggio could have received as little as a year in jail had she made a greater dent in the restitution she owed.
"I am truly sorry," Leggio said before she was sentenced by state Supreme Court Justice Richard Ambro. "I know I betrayed a trust."
Leggio added, "I am just filled with shame, remorse and guilt."
She was immediately placed in handcuffs and led from the courtroom after receiving her sentence.
Leggio's lawyer, Peter Brill, pleaded to keep her out of jail so she could keep trying to pay restitution. Leggio, who moved from Coram to California in 2010, earned about $75,000 last year for a non-profit that helps low income people develop job skills, Brill said.
He argued that his client made an earnest attempt to repay more, but lamented that the high cost of living in northern California limited her ability to pay more restitution over the past year.
The thefts from the Red Cross' Suffolk County chapter occurred between 2005 and 2009.
Leggio admitted using the chapter's debit card to make ATM withdrawals, sometimes as often as every couple of days.
"She was a signatory to the operating account, and without permission or authority, she obtained an ATM debit card in her name linked to the account," District Attorney Thomas Spota said in a statement. She used the money for personal items like clothing, nail treatments, a Weight Watchers membership and her children's tuition.
Kille said an audit uncovered the missing funds in 2010.
"We rely on the trust of the public to do what we do and this was a slap in the face of that trust," the Red Cross spokesman said.
In addition to her debt to the Red Cross, Leggio owes $22,000 in New York state taxes.
"She spent this money for no good reason whatsoever," her attorney said.

Major Section: EVENTS
This documentation assumes familiarity with
:clause-processor rules;
see clause-processor. Briefly put, a clause-processor is a
user-defined function that takes as input the ACL2 representation of a goal
-- a clause -- and returns a list of goals (i.e., a list of
clauses). A
:clause-processor rule is a way to inform ACL2 that a
clause-processor has been proved correct and now may be specified in
:clause-processor hints.
Here we describe a utility,
define-trusted-clause-processor, that
provides another way to inform ACL2 that a function is to be considered a
clause-processor that can be specified in a
:clause-processor hint. You
can find examples of correct and incorrect use of this utility in community
Consider the simple example already presented for
:clause-processor rules
(again, see clause-processor), for a simple clause-processor named
note-fact-clause-processor. Instead of introducing an evaluator and
proving a correctness theorem with
:rule-classes :clause-processor, we
can simply inform ACL2 that we trust the function
note-fact-clause-processor to serve as a clause-processor.
(define-trusted-clause-processor note-fact-clause-processor nil :ttag my-ttag)A non-nil
:ttag argument generates a
defttag event in order to
acknowledge the dependence of the ACL2 session on the (unproved) correctness
of this clause-processor. That argument can be omitted if there is currently
an active trust tag. See defttag. Because we are trusting this
clause-processor, rather than having proved it correct, we refer to it as a
``trusted'' clause-processor to contrast with a proved-correct, or
``verified'', clause-processor.
Now that the event displayed above has established
note-fact-clause-processor as a (trusted) clause-processor, we can use it
in a
:clause-processor hint, for example as follows. Notice that the output
is identical to that for the corresponding example presented for the verified
case (see clause-processor), except that the word ``verified'' has been
replaced by the word ``trusted''.
ACL2 !>(thm (equal (car (cons x y)) x) :hints (("Goal" :clause-processor (note-fact-clause-processor clause '(equal a a))))) [Note: A hint was supplied for our processing of the goal above. Thanks!] We now apply the trusted :CLAUSE-PROCESSOR function NOTE-FACT-CLAUSE- PROCESSOR to produce two new subgoals. Subgoal 2 (IMPLIES (EQUAL A A) (EQUAL (CAR (CONS X Y)) X)). But we reduce the conjecture to T, by the :executable-counterpart of IF and the simple :rewrite rule CAR-CONS. Subgoal 1 (EQUAL A A). But we reduce the conjecture to T, by primitive type reasoning. Q.E.D. Summary Form: ( THM ...) Rules: ((:EXECUTABLE-COUNTERPART IF) (:EXECUTABLE-COUNTERPART NOT) (:FAKE-RUNE-FOR-TYPE-SET NIL) (:REWRITE CAR-CONS)) Warnings: None Time: 0.00 seconds (prove: 0.00, print: 0.00, other: 0.00) Proof succeeded. ACL2 !>Indeed, if one runs this example first and subsequently verifies the clause-processor, one will see the word ``trusted'' change to ``verified''.
The general form is as follows.
(define-trusted-clause-processor cl-proc ;;; clause-processor function supporters ;;; see below &key label ;;; optional, but required if doc is non-nil doc ;;; optional ttag ;;; discussed above partial-theory ;;; optional encapsulate event )If a
LAB is supplied, then a subsidiary
deflabel event
will be generated with name
LAB, which will enable you to to undo this
define-trusted-clause-processor event using:
LAB. If
you supply a
:label then you may supply a
:doc argument to use with
that generated
deflabel event. We discussed the
:ttag argument
above. The entire form is considered redundant (skipped) if it is identical
to one already executed in the current ACL2 world; but if it is not
redundant, then
cl-proc must not already have been similarly designated
as a trusted clause-processor.
Note that
cl-proc may be defined either in
:program-mode or
supporters argument should be a true list of function symbols in the
current ACL2 world. It is important that this list include user-defined
functions whose definitions support the correctness of the clause-processor
function. Otherwise,
local definitions of those missing supporters can
render the use of this clause-processor unsound, as discussed in the paper
referenced at the end of the clause-processor documentation topic.
Moreover, ACL2 assumes for dependent clause-processors (discussed below) that
every function symbol constrained by the ``promised encapsulate'' of that
event is either among those
supporters or ancestral in one of them
(i.e. a supporter of a supporter, a supporter of one of those, etc.).
Dependent clause-processors and promised encapsulates: The
:partial-theory argument
Suppose you want to introduce a clause-processor to reason about a complex
hardware simulator that is implemented outside ACL2. Sawada and Reeber had
just such a problem, as reported in their FMCAD 2006 paper. Indeed, they
sys-call to implement a
program-mode function in ACL2
that can invoke that simulator. In principle one could code the simulator
directly in ACL2; but it would be a tremendous amount of work that has no
practical purpose, given the interface to the external simulator. So: In
what sense can we have a clause-processor that proves properties about a
simulator when that simulator is not fully axiomatized in ACL2? Our answer,
in a nutshell, is this: The above
:partial-theory argument provides a way
to write merely some of the constraints on the external tool (or even no
constraints at all), with the understanding that such constraints are present
implicitly in a stronger ``promised''
encapsulate, for example by
exporting the full definition.
If a trusted clause-processor is introduced with a
argument, we call it a ``dependent'' clause-processor, because its
correctness is dependent on the constraints implicitly introduced by the
encapsulate form. The implicit constraints should
logically imply the constraints actually introduced by the explicit
encapsulate, but they should also be sufficient to justify every possible
invocation of the clause-processor in a
:clause-processor hint. The user
of a
define-trusted-clause-processor form is making a guarantee -- or,
is relying on a guarantee provided by the writer of that form -- that in
principle, there exists a so-called ``promised encapsulate'': an
encapsulate form with the same signature as the
encapsulate form associated with the trusted clause-processor, but whose
constraints introduced are the aforementioned implicit constraints.
There are several additional requirements on a
:partial-theory argument.
First, it must be an
encapsulate event with non-empty signature.
Moreover, the functions introduced by that event must be exactly those
specified in the signature, and no more. And further still, the
define-trusted-clause-processor form cannot be executed inside any
encapsulate form with non-empty signature; we can think of this
situation as attempting to associate more than one
with the functions introduced in the inner
:partial-theory event will (in essence) be executed as part of the
evaluation of the
define-trusted-clause-processor form. Again, a
critical obligation rests on the user who provides a
there must exist (in principle at least) a corresponding promised encapsulate
form with the same signature that could logically be admitted, whenever
the above
define-trusted-clause-processor form is evaluated successfully,
that justifies the designation of
cl-proc as a clause-processor. See
also the paper mentioned above for more about promised encapsulates. A key
consequence is that the constraints are unknown for the functions
introduced in (the signature of) a
form. Thus, functional instantiation (see functional-instantiation-example)
is disabled for function in the signature of a
:partial-theory form.
A remark on the underlying implementation
You can see all of the current trusted clause-processors by issuing the
(table trusted-clause-processor-table). Those that are dependent
clause-processors will be associated in the resulting association list with a
pair whose
car is the list of supporters and whose
cdr is
i.e., with
(supporters . t); the others will be associated just with
define-trusted-clause-processor is actually a macro that generates
(among other things) a
table event for a table named
trusted-clause-processor-table; see table. You are invited to use
trans1 to see expansions of calls of this macro.
A technique for using raw Lisp to define a trusted clause-processor
The following code is intended to give an idea for how one might define the
``guts'' of a trusted clause-processor in raw Lisp. The idea is to stub out
functions, such as
acl2-my-prove below, that you want to define in raw
Lisp; and then, load a raw Lisp file to overwrite any such function with the
real code. But then we make any such overwritten function untouchable.
(This last step is important because otherwise, one can prove
nil using a
:use hint, by exploiting the fact that this
function has executable code for which there is no corresponding definitional
(defstub acl2-my-prove (term hint) t) (program) (defttag :my-cl-proc) (progn ; We wrap everything here in a single progn, so that the entire form is ; atomic. That's important because we want the use of push-untouchable to ; prevent anything besides my-clause-processor from calling acl2-my-prove. (progn! (set-raw-mode-on state) (load "my-hint-raw.lsp") ; defines my-prove in raw Lisp (defun acl2-my-prove (term hint) (my-prove term hint))) (defun my-clause-processor (cl hint) (declare (xargs :guard (pseudo-term-listp cl) :mode :program)) (if (acl2-my-prove (disjoin cl) hint) (disjoin-clause-segments-to-clause (pairlis$ (hint-to-termlist hint) nil) cl) (prog2$ (cw "~|~%NOTE: Unable to prove goal with ~ my-clause-processor and indicated hint.~|") (list cl)))) (push-untouchable acl2-my-prove t) )

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
IAA officials claimed that in the past they were prevented from digging in the area of the site, but now they hope to find what the room really is. But they denied a report that a Jerusalem district archaeologist released stating he uncovered an alcove covered with a dome, a kind of Muslim prayer niche.
Muslim leaders feared that the IAA was attempting to hide Muslim attachments at the site.
While excavators have been working on the areas surround the ramp leading to the Mugrabi Gate, damaged during a snowstorm in 2004, the past two weeks have caused a political storm with riots over the construction as Muslims claim Israel is plotting to destroy Islamic holy places.

Amanda Bynes Wants Barack Obama's Help Getting Out of Her DUI
Amanda Bynes has had a spate of driving-related mishaps of late, and now she's calling in the big guns to help her out: President Obama.
Back in March, Bynes was pulled over for talking on her cell phone while driving (that's a no-no in her home state of California), but while the officer was writing a ticket, she sped off. Then, just a few weeks later, she sideswiped a police car and blithely drove away, eventually being arrested for drunk-driving.
Now TMZ reports that although Bynes escaped a hit-and-run charge, she's now been formally dinged with one count of misdemeanor DUI and that the D.A. "has sought a sentencing enhancement because the actress refused to take either a breathalyzer or a blood test."
Worst case scenario if she's convicted? Six months in jail, although as we've seen with Lindsay Lohan, a few hours in the slammer is likely all Bynes would serve due to overcrowding.
But regardless, she took to her Twitter account to express her outrage, and that's where the Commander-in-Chief comes in:
There's so much hilarity here that we're not even sure where to start. Suffice it to say that TMZ has caught Bynes on tape at least once when she was clearly intoxicated, but the real proof that she may not be entirely sober is the fact that she asked for help from the Leader of the Free World. That alone sounds like a drunken antic.
Most recently, Bynes backed over a curb while texting, and she's also been spotted holding up traffic while making a slow three-point U-turn, after which a witness said she "looked out of it."
Maybe it's just us, but we'd rather go to rehab than admit we drive that badly while sober.

Company kills wind farm proposal; Other firms withdraw energy project bids
Credit: BY DAVID GIULIANI | January 11, 2013 | www.saukvalley.com ~~
OREGON – It's no longer just a whisper: A Spain-based company is withdrawing its plans for a wind farm in Ogle County.
Gamesa USA had planned the Whispering Prairie wind farm for Ogle, Winnebago and Stephenson counties.
But in November, the company informed landowners that it was terminating the lease options for wind turbines.
The company said it found the wind project wasn't commercially viable.
It's one of a number of proposed projects in Ogle County that have fallen by the wayside.
The company had planned about 100 turbines – 40 of them in Ogle County, between Byron and Leaf River.
Ogle County Zoning Administrator Michael Reibel said he wasn't surprised to hear that Gamesa was pulling out.
"We never had any detailed information from Gamesa about the project," he said. "About all we knew was that they were planning to secure lease agreements. We knew they were working hard in Winnebago County. They really didn't do that much in Ogle County."
Other companies have withdrawn plans for turbines near Kings and west of Mount Morris, and another firm planning a project near Forreston hasn't done much in recent times, Reibel said.
The proposed Baileyville wind farm, between Forreston and Leaf River, appears most likely to happen, but it has been mired in litigation, he said.
Meanwhile, Ireland-based Mainstream Renewable Power plans an 81-turbine farm in Lee, Whiteside and Bureau counties. Whiteside County approved its plan, while Lee County is still holding public hearings. The company withdrew its proposal for Bureau County after the zoning panel rejected it. Mainstream says it will resubmit a plan.
David Loomis, director of Illinois State University's Center for Renewable Energy, said the renewable energy industry isn't planning many more wind farms now. He said the windiest sites have been built or are under leases.

Education Secretary stops at Lee High en-route to All-Star game activities
On his way to the NBA All-Star Game festivities, U.S. Department of Education Secretary Arne Duncan made a stop at Lee High School Friday afternoon to get a first-hand look at the Houston Independent School District's reform effort.
The Gulfton-area high school in recent years has struggled mightily as enrollment - which neared 2,500 in the early 1990s - fell to 1,416 students in late 2012. Demographics of the school have shifted just as dramatically during those two decades, from being a campus where just 1 of 4 students was considered low-income to being one where nearly 80 percent are poor and about one-third are still learning to speak English.
The changes have required Lee High to try to reach some of the state's most challenging students to educate - extremely poor recent immigrants. The issue was forced when after several years of landing on the state's low-performing list, the Texas Education Agency said the school would face closure if it didn't take drastic steps to reform.
In 2009, HISD launched its Apollo program, a partnership with Harvard University's EdLabs that brought several best practices to Lee High and eight other struggling schools, including overhauling the teaching staff, extending the school day by an hour and adding extensive tutoring.
So far, results have been positive, Superintendent Terry Grier told the secretary of education during Friday's tour.
Duncan said Lee's best practices need to be replicated in struggling schools across the country.
"This school looks like what the country is going to look like," Duncan said. "This is about strengthening our country. If places like Lee can demonstrate how children from many, many backgrounds, many walks of life can come here and get a great education, graduate and go on to some form of higher education, then it makes you really hopeful for the country. If we can't do that, then the country is in trouble. So the stakes here are extraordinarily high."

I read and was deeply troubled by the article recently published in the Addison Independent headlined "Schools consider 'Pledge.' More specifically, I take offense at any citizen who likens the "…Pledge to a blind oath of loyalty."
Unless you are not a citizen, you are honor bound to give allegiance to your country, the one that you live freely in, the one that grants and protects freedoms that are not available in many other countries, one that protects you and your freedoms.
Here is the first section of the XIV Amendment to the U.S. Constitution:
"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
Anyone who doubts this should be required to meet the same standards and finally pass the same final test that any foreigner must take to gain citizenship in this great and free country. Then and only then they should also stand up before God and country and recite the following, required of all naturalized citizens of the United States of America.
Oath of Allegiance for Naturalized Citizens:
"I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform noncombatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law; and that I take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God."
In some cases, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services allows the oath to be taken without the clauses: ". . .that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by law; that I will perform noncombatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States when required by law."
Maybe what we should really do is consider revoking citizenship for those who cannot now meet the same standards we require of those who wish to be granted naturalized citizenship.

The Lions opted to retain General Manager Martin Mayhew and coach Jim Schwartz after a 4-12 season, but that doesn't mean the status quo will remain in place across the entire organization.
Schwartz and defensive coordinator Gunther Cunningham both said that the team is not locked into to any particular defensive scheme and that they would evaluate this year's results to tweak things to fit the personnel on hand.
"We evaluate every Monday after every single game. Adjustments we need to make, things we need to do better, things that work, things that didn't work," Schwartz said. "You also do that on a yearly basis. Part of it is also tied into personnel that you have and you want your schemes to match your personnel. You have a general philosophy, but there's some flexibility within that philosophy."
While they didn't discuss it specifically, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' website suggests that could mean less of the Wide-9 look that the Lions have featured since Schwartz's arrival in 2009. The scheme is predicated on creating pressure on opposing quarterbacks, but the Lions saw a drop in sacks in 2012 as they allowed three more points per game than they did in 2011.
We'll see what changes wind up getting made, but we'd expect to see a fair amount of them in Detroit if Mayhew and Schwartz are going to avoid the axe again this time next year.

This information is produced and provided by the National Cancer Institute (NCI). The information in this topic may have changed since it was written. For the most current information, contact the National Cancer Institute via the Internet web site at http://cancer.gov or call 1-800-4-CANCER.
This patient summary on anxiety is adapted from a summary written for health professionals by cancer experts. This and other credible information about cancer treatment, screening, prevention, supportive care, and ongoing clinical trials is available from the National Cancer Institute. Anxiety is a normal reaction to cancer, but it can interfere with a patient's quality of life and the ability to follow through with cancer therapy. This brief summary describes the causes and treatment of anxiety experienced by cancer patients. Anxiety that may arise after cancer therapy has been completed is also discussed in this summary.
Anxiety is a normal reaction to cancer. One may experience anxiety while undergoing a cancer screening test, waiting for test results, receiving a diagnosis of cancer, undergoing cancer treatment, or anticipating a recurrence of cancer. Anxiety associated with cancer may increase feelings of pain, interfere with one's ability to sleep, cause nausea and vomiting, and interfere with the patient's (and his or her family's) quality of life. If left untreated, severe anxiety may even shorten a patient's life.
Persons with cancer will find that their feelings of anxiety increase or decrease at different times. A patient may become more anxious as cancer spreads or treatment becomes more intense. The level of anxiety experienced by one person with cancer may differ from the anxiety experienced by another person. Most patients are able to reduce their anxiety by learning more about their cancer and the treatment they can expect to receive. For some patients, particularly those who have experienced episodes of intense anxiety before their cancer diagnosis, feelings of anxiety may become overwhelming and interfere with cancer treatment. Most patients who have not had an anxiety condition before their cancer diagnosis will not develop an anxiety disorder associated with cancer.
Patients are more likely to develop anxiety during cancer treatment if they have any of the following conditions:
Central nervous systemmetastases and tumors in the lungs may cause physical problems with symptoms of anxiety. Treatment with corticosteroids and other medications can worsen feelings of anxiety.
Contrary to what one might expect, patients with advanced cancer experience anxiety due not to fear of death, but more often from fear of uncontrolled pain, being left alone, or dependency on others. Many of these factors can be alleviated with treatment.
Some persons may have already experienced intense anxiety in their life because of situations unrelated to their cancer. These anxiety conditions may recur or become aggravated by the stress of a cancer diagnosis. Patients may experience extreme fear, be unable to absorb information given to them by caregivers, or be unable to follow through with treatment. In order to plan treatment for a patient's anxiety, a doctor may ask the following questions about the patient's symptoms:
Anxiety disorder includes adjustment disorder, panic disorder, phobias, obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and anxiety disorder caused by other general medical conditions. Each of these is explained below.
Adjustment Disorder
Adjustment disorder includes behaviors or moods more extreme than expected in a reaction to a cancer diagnosis. Symptoms include severe nervousness, worry, jitteriness, and the inability to go to work, attend school, or be with other people. Adjustment disorder is more likely to occur in cancer patients during critical times of the disease. These include being tested for the disease, learning the diagnosis, and experiencing a relapse of the disease. Many cancer patients can achieve relief from adjustment disorder in several ways, including receiving reassurance from caregivers, exercising relaxation techniques, taking medication, and participating in support and education programs.
Panic Disorder
Patients with panic disorder experience intense anxiety. Patients may suffer shortness of breath, dizziness, rapid heart beat, trembling, profuse sweating, nausea, tingling sensations, or fears of "going crazy." Attacks may last for several minutes or several hours and are treated with medication. Symptoms of panic disorder may be very similar to other medical conditions.
Phobias are ongoing fears about or avoidance of a situation or object. People with phobias usually experience intense anxiety and avoid situations that may frighten them. Cancer patients may fear needles. They may also fear small spaces and avoid having tests in confined spaces, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans.
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
A person with obsessive-compulsive disorder has persistent thoughts, ideas, or images (obsessions) that are accompanied by repetitive behaviors (compulsions). Patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder may be unable to follow through with cancer treatment because they are disabled by thoughts and behaviors that interfere with their ability to function normally. Obsessive-compulsive disorder is treated with medication and psychotherapy. Obsessive-compulsive disorder is rare in patients with cancer who did not have the disorder before being diagnosed with cancer.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
The diagnosis of cancer may cause a person who has previously experienced a life-threatening event to relive the trauma associated with that event. Patients with cancer who have post-traumatic stress disorder may experience extreme anxiety before surgery, chemotherapy, painful medical procedures, or bandage changes. Post-traumatic stress disorder is treated with psychotherapy.
Generalized Anxiety Disorder
Patients with generalized anxiety disorder may experience extreme and constant anxiety or unrealistic worry. For example, patients with supportive family and friends may fear that no one will care for them. Patients may worry that they cannot pay for their treatment, although they have adequate financial resources and insurance. Generalized anxiety disorder may happen after a patient has been very depressed. A person who has generalized anxiety may feel irritable or restless, have tense muscles, shortness of breath, heart palpitations, sweating, dizziness, and be easily fatigued.
Anxiety Disorder Caused by Other General Medical Conditions
Patients with cancer may experience anxiety that is caused by other medical conditions. Patients who are experiencing severe pain feel anxious, and anxiety can increase pain. The sudden appearance of extreme anxiety may be a symptom of infection, pneumonia, or an imbalance in the body's chemistry. It may also occur before a heart attack or blood clot in the lung and be accompanied by chest pain or trouble breathing. A decrease in the amount of oxygen that the blood is able to carry may also make the patient feel as though he or she is suffocating; this can cause anxiety.
Anxiety is a direct or indirect side effect of some medications. Some medications can cause anxiety, while others may cause restlessness, agitation,depression, thoughts of suicide, irritability, or trembling.
Certain tumors may cause anxiety or produce symptoms that resemble anxiety and panic by creating chemical imbalances or shortness of breath.
See the following PDQ summaries for more information:
It may be difficult to distinguish between normal fears associated with cancer and abnormally severe fears that can be classified as an anxietydisorder. Treatment depends on how the anxiety is affecting daily life for the patient. Anxiety that is caused by pain or another medical condition, a specific type of tumor, or as a side effect of medication, is usually controlled by treating the underlying cause.
Treatment for anxiety begins by giving the patient adequate information and support. Developing coping strategies such as the patient viewing his or her cancer from the perspective of a problem to be solved, obtaining enough information in order to fully understand his or her disease and treatment options, and utilizing available resources and support systems, can help to relieve anxiety. Patients may benefit from other treatment options for anxiety, including: psychotherapy, group therapy, family therapy, participating in self-help groups, hypnosis, and relaxation techniques such as guided imagery (a form of focused concentration on mental images to assist in stress management), or biofeedback (a method of early detection of the symptoms of anxiety in order to take preventative action). Medications may be used alone or in combination with these techniques. Patients should not avoid anxiety-relieving medications for fear of becoming addicted. Their doctors will give them sufficient medication to alleviate the symptoms and decrease the amount of the drug as the symptoms diminish.
Studies show that antidepressants are effective in the treatment of anxiety disorders. Children and adolescents being treated with antidepressants, however, have an increased risk of suicidal thinking and behavior. See the Treatment section of the PDQ summary on Depression for more information.
After cancertherapy has been completed, a cancer survivor may be faced with new anxieties. Survivors may experience anxiety when they return to work and are asked about their cancer experience, or when confronted with insurance-related problems. A survivor may fear subsequent follow-up examinations and diagnostic tests, or they may fear a recurrence of cancer. Survivors may experience anxiety due to changes in body image, sexual dysfunction, reproductive issues, or post-traumatic stress. Survivorship programs, support groups, counseling, and other resources are available to help people readjust to life after cancer.

PDQ is a comprehensive cancer database available on NCI's Web site.
PDQ is the National Cancer Institute's (NCI's) comprehensive cancer information database. Most of the information contained in PDQ is available online at NCI's Web site. PDQ is provided as a service of the NCI. The NCI is part of the National Institutes of Health, the federal government's focal point for biomedical research.
PDQ contains cancer information summaries.
The PDQ database contains summaries of the latest published information on cancer prevention, detection, genetics, treatment, supportive care, and complementary and alternative medicine. Most summaries are available in two versions. The health professional versions provide detailed information written in technical language. The patient versions are written in easy-to-understand, nontechnical language. Both versions provide current and accurate cancer information.
The PDQ cancer information summaries are developed by cancer experts and reviewed regularly.
Editorial Boards made up of experts in oncology and related specialties are responsible for writing and maintaining the cancer information summaries. The summaries are reviewed regularly and changes are made as new information becomes available. The date on each summary ("Date Last Modified") indicates the time of the most recent change.
PDQ also contains information on clinical trials.
A clinical trial is a study to answer a scientific question, such as whether one method of treating symptoms is better than another. Trials are based on past studies and what has been learned in the laboratory. Each trial answers certain scientific questions in order to find new and better ways to help cancer patients. Some patients have symptoms caused by cancer treatment or by the cancer itself. During supportive care clinical trials, information is collected about how well new ways to treat symptoms of cancer work. The trials also study side effects of treatment and problems that come up during or after treatment. If a clinical trial shows that a new treatment is better than one currently being used, the new treatment may become "standard." Patients who have symptoms related to cancer treatment may want to think about taking part in a clinical trial.
Listings of clinical trials are included in PDQ and are available online at NCI's Web site. Descriptions of the trials are available in health professional and patient versions. Many cancer doctors who take part in clinical trials are also listed in PDQ. For more information, call the Cancer Information Service 1-800-4-CANCER (1-800-422-6237).
