Formula 1 games have, to date, followed one of two paths. There's either the pure arcade titles, stretching all the way back to the venerable Pole Position, or the more dedicated and fiddly simulation titles that appeal to the obsessed types who want to check tyre pressure, suspension balances and engine heat while heading for a corner at 300kph.
F1 2010 attempts to merge both styles of gameplay, at least at first glance, and it pretty much succeeds in doing so. The first time you head out on the track in the game's comprehensive career mode on easy, you'll find it very simple indeed. You'll careen around the tracks in what you think is high speed, not spinning off the track, but not winning too many races, either. That's because at the easiest settings, all the driving assistance tools are automatically on, and that includes some rather punishing braking assistance. You won't spin off, but equally you won't hit top speed much of the time, making the aggressive moves that are at the heart of F1 all but impossible. At the easiest settings, F1 2010 isn't that far from Pole Position, save for the lack of exploding cars. The Flashback feature, which allows you to selectively rewind mistakes a la The Prince Of Persia games, only adds to this arcade feeling.
That's not the point of F1 2010, though, and anyone interested enough in the game to buy it will quickly want to disable at least the braking assistance so you can hoon through the corners properly, slowly dropping driving aids as your skill improves. F1 2010 isn't an easy game to speak of, but then it shouldn't be, as it attempts to offer a realistic simulation of the genuine racing experience. Early on you'll pick up plenty of cornering and crashing penalties, rub plenty of gravel into your tyres and lose lots of races along the way. Patient persistence is the name of the game, and by the time you've put in plenty of laps you'll start to understand racing lines, braking set-ups and race layouts with intimate levels of detail. Then it'll start raining on the track, and you'll have to learn it all again.
F1 2010 breaks the racing action between straight Grand Prix mode, which is exactly what you'd think it is, and the Career mode, where you set up a driver, join a team and race through a number of F1 seasons in the hunt for championship glory. There's some interesting steps here to engage you in practice and qualifying modes, as you're set specific targets to meet. Hit them, and your team research will enable car upgrades that make subsequent races easier. It's a nice inducement to put even more time on the track.

BOSTON (AP) — Just hours before one of the Boston Marathon suspects and his brother allegedly gunned down a campus police officer, authorities say he exchanged a series of text messages with a friend who'd become suspicious after seeing what looked like a familiar face being flashed on television.
Dias Kadyrbayev, a student at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, texted his college buddy Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, saying he looked like one of the bombing suspects.
CHURUBUSCO — Churubusco's baseball team played host to Northeast Corner Conference opponent Fremont in a battle of Eagles.
In a game that saw good pitching from both teams, the deciding factor was host Churubusco's inability to string together hits with runners in scoring position throughout the contest.
The Churubusco Eagles stranded eight base runners and fell by a 6-3 score to the visiting Fremont Eagles.
COLUMBIA CITY — Columbia City's girls track team fell to both Bellmont and Carroll in a three-way meet Tuesday night.

"Carroll and Bellmont are very good," Columbia City Head Coach Bob Fahl said. "We opted to rest some girls and not have them run multiple events."
CHURUBUSCO — In Tuesday evening's Northeast Corner Conference battle of Lady Eagle softball teams, the host Churubusco Lady Eagles used a big nine-run fourth inning to hand the visiting Fremont Lady Eagles a 14-1 loss.
The hosts gave up only a single and a walk in the first three innings to the visitors, as Churubusco pitcher Courtney Luttman enticed five fly-outs in the first three stanzas to go along with infield ground outs.
COLUMBIA CITY — Columbia City's tennis team picked up a Northeast Hoosier Conference win Tuesday night, topping DeKalb 4-1.
The Lady Eagles picked up wins in No. 1 and No. 3 singles, as well as both doubles teams.

In No. 3 singles, Adriana Brown won 6-3, 6-3 over Lady Baron Taylor Thies.
The No. 1 doubles pair of Sydney Ford and Macie Hinen topped DeKalb 6-3, 6-2. Breanna Hicks and Alaina Beckner won 6-4, 6-3 in No. 2 doubles.
COLUMBIA CITY — Columbia City's boys golf team dropped another Northeast Hoosier Conference match Tuesday, falling to Carroll, 155-170.
The Eagles are now 0-3 in the NHC and 2-4 overall.
Columbia City freshman Tyler Green and Carroll's Joey Justice we co-medalists, each scoring a 37 in the back nine at Eagle Glen.
Fellow freshman Spencer Klimek was Columbia City's No. 2 linkster Tuesday, scoring a 40.
Max Dryer finished with a 45.
Both Cameron Slavich and Trent Murphy ended the night with scores of 48.
CHURUBUSCO — What has become a long season for the Churubusco Lady Eagle tennis team continued on Tuesday night as it fell 5-0 to a visiting Angola Lady Hornet team.
The Lady Eagles were only able to pick up one game in the varsity singles contests and that came at the No. 3 slot where senior Kayleen Mitchell fell 6-0, 6-1 to Angola's Alyssa Rhoades.
In the No. 1 singles slot, Churubusco sophomore Cheyenne Conner fell 6-0 to the Lady Hornets' Kirsten Quandt in the first set and by an identical 6-0 score in the second set.
WABASH — Whitko's boys golf team came in second in a triangular meet with two TRC-foes at Honeywell Golf Course in Wabash.
Whitko shot 178 for the day, five behind host-Northfield. Manchester scored 196 as a team.
Danny Zawlocki and Cole Bechtold were the top golfers for the Wildcats, each shooting 43. That placed them in a tie for third place, three strokes behind Trae Cole and Braydon Schindler of Northfield, who tied for first at 40.
Other scores for the Wildcats included Colton LeTourneau with 45, Matt Hathaway at 47 and Will Peters shooting 48.
HUNTERTOWN — Columbia City's boys track team took home second place at a three-way meet at Carroll Tuesday.
The host Chargers scored 111 to place first. The Eagles had 28 and Bellmont had 27.
Columbia City swept the throwing events. Dakota Goldwood was first in the shot put with a toss of 42 feet, 0.5 inches. Wyatt Larkey took first in the discus with a throw of 139-2.
There were three second-place finishes for the Eagles. Mitchell Maloney was runner-up in the pole vault. Relay-wise, the 3,200-meter team of Seth Kissinger, David Fulk, Evan Van Houten and Evan Harney was second.
COLUMBIA CITY (May 1, 2013) — A traffic stop for a moving violation by an Indiana State Trooper led to the discovery of heroin, marijuana and other controlled substances which resulted in the arrest of two men from Ohio and one from Illinois yesterday afternoon.

Vinyl siding - Do I need to fix this?
Was outside this morning cleaning some dirt and algae off window trim and siding and realized that the siding on the side of the house doesn't seem right... instead of ending with a "clean" edge at the bottom, it is installed into J-trim. I suspect this was one of the previous homeowner's "handiwork" and was done to compensate for the fact that the house/ground has settled over time and things didn't line up, but now I am wondering what I can do. It seems to catch dirt, leaves, and stones, and you can see from the photos that someone ran the cable lines in it, so I doubt that the water drains from it very easily. I'm figuring I should at least pull the cables out and secure them outside of the trim, but do I need to try to fix this in some other way or can it stay like this? Thanks for your thoughts.
Seems like the J-mold is the typical thing to do when you have cut the bottom off the last section of siding.It gives the cut edge something to sit in. The bigger issue I see is that ground level at that point seems to high. I don't know where your sill plate is in relation to the siding but it should be about 8" above ground level.

WANTED: Japanese maples (any kind is good), Trident maples and ..
Sorry don't have too much room in the title the last one i want are moonflower seeds. I have lots of Yellow, Blue/White and Red/White Columbine seeds. I have Yellow and Purple/Orange 4-o-clocks. I also have Purple Morning glories. I have a limited supply of all the seeds mentioned aboved but I'll have more Morning glory seeds and 4-o-clocks soon (only orange/purple 4-o-clocks)
Thank you fellow Canadians!!!
I am interested in your columbine seeds. If possible I would take some of each color. I can send you some other colors? I have purple and purple with white, I have two shades of pink. As for Japanese maples, it is easier to take cuttings than to start from seeds. More chance of getting same as parent tree. I have one here but am not sure if mature enough to produce seeds yet. will keep an eye on it though. Send me an email directly and we can exchange addresses. You can also see my seed list for something else you may want if you do not want more columbine colors.
FYI, the Japanese Maples may be slow to germinate. I sowed some spring 2006. By the fall, I gave up on the containers and threw the contents in a new lasagna bed I was making for this spring. In May I noticed these lovely tiny red leaves popping up and sure enough I now have 3 Japanese Maples. The fresher the seed, the better. I got mine from a trade.

The brutal slaying of an Australian who was attending college in the U.S. on a baseball scholarship has shattered two towns on opposite sides of the globe. Three teens have been arrested charged as adults for the crime.
DUNCAN, Okla. -- With a motive that's both chilling and simple - to break up the boredom of an Oklahoma summer - three teenagers randomly targeted an Australian collegiate baseball player who was attending school in the U.S. and killed him for fun, prosecutors said Tuesday as they charged two of the boys with murder.
Prosecutor Jason Hicks called the boys "thugs" as he described how Christopher Lane, 22, of Melbourne, was shot once in the back and died along a tree-lined road on Duncan's well-to-do north side. He said the three teens, from the grittier part of town, chose Lane at random and that one of the boys "thinks it's all a joke."
Hicks charged Chancey Allen Luna, 16, and James Francis Edwards Jr., 15, of Duncan, with first-degree murder. Under Oklahoma law they will be tried as adults. Michael Dewayne Jones, 17, of Duncan, was charged with using a vehicle in the discharge of a weapon and with accessory to first-degree murder after the fact. He is considered a youthful offender but will be tried in adult court.
Jones wept in the courtroom after he tried to speak about the incident but was cut off by the judge who said it wasn't the time to sort out the facts of the case. Jones faces anywhere from two years to life in prison if convicted on the counts he faces. Read More

C-reactive protein
Major depression
Serum lipid levels
Suicide risk
Several studies have investigated the relationship between C-reactive protein (CRP) and serum lipid levels in
Major Depression (MD), but no study has, to date, evaluated the impact of alexithymia on these parameters.
Therefore, the aim of the present cross-sectional study was to evaluate the relationship between alexithymia,
a DSM-IV diagnosis of MD. Alexithymia was measured with the 20-item Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20),
depression severity was evaluated with the 17-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D) and suicide risk
was determined using the Scale of Suicide Ideation (SSI). Alexithymics showed altered serum lipid levels and
Identifying Feelings" dimension of TAS-20were significantlyassociatedwithdepressionseverity,whereas lower
associated with higher suicide risk. Authors discuss study limitations and future research needs.

1. Introduction
The role of acute phase proteins and lipid levels in neuropsychia-
tric disorders has been widely investigated (Papakostas et al., 2004;
Kuo et al., 2005; Sagud et al., 2007). The relationship between
depressive symptoms and C-reactive protein (CRP) have been
extensively and consistently examined. Results indicate a possible
association between CRP, severityof depressive symptoms and suicide
risk (Liukkonen et al., 2006; Kling et al., 2007). Concerning lipid levels,
there have been some data that suggest that changes in serum lipid
composition may be related to MD, suicide risk and immune-
inflammatory activation (Huang and Chen, 2005; Zhang et al., 2005;
Jowet al., 2006). However, todate, findings areinconsistent. Increases,
decreases or no change at all in CRP and/or serum lipid levels have
been reported in patients with MD and/or suicide attempts (Huang,
2005; Fiedorowicz and Coryell, 2007; Huang and Lin, 2007).
Coined by Sifneos (1973), the term "alexithymia" was introduced to
designate a cluster of cognitive and affective characteristics that were
observed among patients suffering from psychosomatic diseases. The
alexithymia construct, formulated from clinical investigations, is multi-
faceted and includes four different characteristics: (a) difficulty in
identifying and describing feelings, (b) difficulty in distinguishing
feelings from body sensations, (c) reduction in fantasy, and (d) concrete
and poor introspective thinking (Taylor et al., 1991). Alexithymic
individuals also suffer from affective dysregulation, the inability to self
soothe and manage emotions because of a lack of emotional awareness
(Taylor et al.,1997). Thus, the adaptive informational value of emotions,
whichis essentialforemotion regulation, ofteneludestheseindividuals
(DeBerardisetal.,2005).Alexithymia isnotuniquetoMD,butisseenin
et al.,2001, 2006).Its presence in majordepressionhas alsobeenlinked

to severityof depressionand suicide risk(Bankier et al., 2001; Saarijarvi
et al., 2006).
So far it is not clear whether alexithymia is a personality trait, a
state-dependent phenomenon or both. Some have observed that
alexithymia, as measured by the 20-item Toronto Alexithymia Scale
(TAS-20), tends to stay stable even with improvement in the
symptoms of depression, implying that it is a personality trait
(Luminet et al., 2001; Taylor and Bagby, 2004). Others have, however,
suggested that alexithymia is a reaction to cope with the distress of
depressive symptoms like emotional pain, aversive memories and
psychological arousal (Marchesi et al., 2008). This concept of
"secondary alexithymia" is strengthened by the findings of Saarijarvi
et al. (2001), who showed that alexithymia features resolve in most
individuals after successful treatment of depression, and patients
resume their capability to recognize and communicate their feelings.
The only study (Corcos et al., 2004), to our knowledge, that has
investigated a possible association between alexithymia and inflam-
matory markers found a positive relationship between interleukin-4
serum levels and TAS scores. Any possible association between
alexithymia in patients with MD and other inflammatory markers or
serum lipid profiles has not yet been studied.
Moreover, many studies have evaluated MD patients with a
relatively long history of illness, which may lead to potential biases
because of current or previous pharmacological treatments that may,
on their own, influence CRP and serum lipid levels (Lanquillon et al.,
2000; Tuglu et al., 2003; McIntyre et al., 2006). Therefore, in the
present exploratory study, we evaluated only drug naïve patients with
MD. Specifically, and the aims of this study were to: 1) evaluate
possible clinical and laboratory differences between patients positive
or not for alexithymia, 2) study whether alexithymia and clinical and
laboratory data are correlated, and 3) investigate which variables are
associated with MD and suicidal ideation severity.
2. Methods
Patients between18 and 45 years withfirstepisodeof MD whohad
never received pharmacological or psychotherapeutic treatment were
considered eligible for this study. Diagnoses were made by clinical
assessment, following the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV—
Patient Edition (SCID-P) (First et al.,1995). All participants had to have
met criteria for moderate-to-severe Major Depressive Episode with a
score of at least 16 on Hamilton Depression Rating Scale, 17-item
version (HAM-D) (Hamilton, 1960). In our sample, the inter-rater
reliability for the total HAM-D score was 0.93 (pb0.001).
Exclusion criteria included: mild depression (HAM-Db16), history
of a manic or hypomanic episode, comorbidity with schizophrenia or
other psychotic disorders, comorbidity with any eating disorder,
history or current drug or alcohol dependence, organic mental
disorders, pregnant or nursing women, current treatment with anti-
inflammatory or immunosuppressant drugs (such as non-steroidal
anti-inflammatory drugs, steroids, paracetamol), known familial
hypercholesterolemia and obesity. Subjects with diabetes, other
endocrinological disorders, hypertension, liver dysfunction or other
conditions necessitating any chronic pharmacotherapy were
excluded. Patients who received medication for cholesterol dysregu-
lation such as statins and fibrates in the last 6 months and those
whose body mass changed substantially within the last 4 weeks prior
to screening were also excluded from the study.
We recruited 183 never-medicated, drug-naïve adult outpatients
with a diagnosis of MD, according to Diagnostic and Statistical Manual
of Mental Disorders, 4th ed. (DSM-IV) criteria, from referrals to the
Institute of Psychiatry, University of Chieti. Subjects with an IQ≤70 as
(Wechsler, 1981) were excluded from the study in order to avoid
potential biases in interpreting results of the TAS-20. Abnormal serum
concentrations of triiodothyronine, thyroxine, alanine aminotransfer-
ase, aspartate aminotransferase or proteinogram results were also
considered as exclusion criteria. Of the 183 recruited patients, 27
(14.8%) subjects meet exclusion criteria and 11 (6.0%) refused to par-
ticipate. Therefore a total of 145 drug-naïve adult outpatients were
included in the analysis (79.2% retention rate). Patients included in
the study had no serious medical conditions in their history that
required anti-inflammatory treatment for more than one week (mean
8.3 weeks and mean duration of last use: 1.2 days).
Alexithymia was evaluated by the Italian version of the 20-item
Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20), the patient-rated scale most
widely used for measuring alexithymia (Bressi et al.,1996). A score of
61 or higher was considered indicative of alexithymia as stated by
Taylor et al. (1997). The TAS-20 has a three-factor structure: Factor l
assesses the capacity to identify feelings and to distinguish between
the feelings and bodily sensations of emotional arousal (Difficulty in
Identifying Feelings [DIF]); Factor 2 reflects the inability to commu-
nicate feelings to other people (Difficulty in Describing Feelings
[DDF]); Factor 3 assesses Externally-Oriented Thinking (EOT). In our
sample, the reliability for TAS-20 was 0.87 (Cronbach's α).
et al.,1979), a 3 point clinician-rated scale with statements of suicidal
intentions, were evaluated. In our sample, Cronbach's α was 0.91.
Weight was measured (in light indoor clothing with shoes
removed) using a balance beam scale, and height was measured
using a stadiometer. Weight and height were used to calculate Body
Mass Index (BMI) (kg/m2).
Forall patients the following determinations were performed: CRP,
triglyceridaemia (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein
(HDL), very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) and low-density lipopro-
tein levels (LDL). Serum CRP was measured using a highly sensitive
nephelometric assay [BN-II Nephelometer; Dade Behring, Deerfield,
IL], which is able to detect a minimal CRP concentration of 0.22 mg/dl.
All blood samples for lipid studies were collected in tubes containing
EDTA (1 mg/ml) and separated within 1 h after sampling. Serum lipid
concentrations were determined by enzymatic methods with an
Abbott ABA-100 Biochromatic analyser (USA). Cholesterol and serum
triglycerides were also measured using enzymatic methods (choles-
terol: Boehringer Mannheim, Germany; serum triglycerides: Abbott).
HDL cholesterol was measured after phosphotungstic acid/MgCl2
precipitation on fresh plasma. Inter-assayand intra-assay variations of
all measurements were less than 10%.
The ratios of TC/HDL and LDL/HDL were also evaluated. Blood
samples were taken between 7:30 and 8:30 a.m. after the patients had
fasted for at least 10 h and after a psychiatric evaluation (mean time
between psychiatric evaluation and blood sampling 17.5±3.1 h).
The study was approved by the local ethical committee of the
University of Chieti. Each patient had to understand the nature of the
study and sign an informed consent document prior to WAIS
administration and laboratory testing.
3. Statistics
Descriptive statistics and percentages for the study sample were
computed on demographic variables and all psychometric-scales. All
checked for deviations from the Gaussian distribution using the
Kolmogorov–Smirnov test. Given the normal distribution of the
variables, a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to analyze
gender differences. The differences between individuals with and
with TAS-20 positivity/negativity as a factor, and age, gender, BMI and
to obtain effect sizes for a better evaluation of the magnitude of group
differences on the continuous study measures. Partial correlations

correlationsthat were statisticallysignificantatpb0.01 were examined.
Finally, two block-wise linear regression analyses were performed to
determine which variables were associated with the severity of MD
(Model 1: HAM-D as dependent variable) or suicidal ideation (Model 2:
were entered. In the second block, laboratory data were added to the
model. The DIF, DDF, and EOT subscales of the TAS-20 were entered in
the last step. The quality of the regression model was also tested using
the Durbin–Watson statistic (a value between 0 and 4, indicating the
amount of autocorrelation within the model with an optimum value
of 2.0). p values≤0.05 were deemed statistically significant. All statis-
tical testing was two-sided. Statistical analyses were performed using
Standard Deviation (SD).
4. Results
The sample consisted of 69 men and 76 womenwith a mean age of
28.5 years (SD=5.7) (age range: 19–45 years) and a mean duration of
illness of 0.78 years (SD=0.8) (range 0.4–1.0). The mean BMI was
22.5 kg/m2(SD=2.4) (range 15.4–29.1) and the mean HAM-D score
was 27.9 (SD=9.4) (range 17–39). Gender comparisons between all
demographic and clinical variables showed no significant differences
on any of the variables. The mean TAS-20 total score was 51.7
(SD=14.1); 33.8% (n=49) of 145 patients who scored 61 or more were
considered positive for alexithymia. Descriptive statistics of the whole
sample and a comparison between patients positive and negative for
alexithymia is reported in Table 1.
Comparison between individuals with or without alexithymia
(n=96, 66.2%) controlling for age, gender, BMI and smoking status,
revealed that subjects positive for alexithymia showed higher HAM-D
and SSI scores than non-alexithymics (Table 1). Moreover, subjects
positive for alexithymia showed higher CRP and VLDL and lower TC,
HDL and TG levels than non-alexithymics. Finally, TC/HDL and LDL/
HDL ratios were higher in subjects positive for alexithymia compared
to non-alexithymics. Levels of LDL were not significantly different
between groups. Effect size calculation showed that the magnitude of
the group effect for HAM-D, SSI, CRP, TC, HDL, VLDL, TG and TC/HDL
was large, whereas the effect for LDL/HDL was medium.
In our sample, we found positive partial correlations (controlling for
DIF and DDF) and almost all considered variables except LDL and the
correlation between DDF and TG, whereas the EOT subscale did not
correlate with any variable (to reduce alpha inflation, only correlations
statistically significant at pb0.01 were examined) (Table 2).
In the linear regression models (Table 3), higher SSI scores, lower TC
levels and DIF/DDF dimensions of TAS-20 were significantly associated
with depression severity (HAM-D as dependent variable), whereas
HAM-D, lower HDL levels and DIF dimension of TAS-20 were associated
with higher suicide risk (SSI as dependent variable). In the current
analyses, the R2values accounted for 71% of the variance in HAM-D and
and 1.88, respectively for model 1 and 2 (near to the optimum of 2.0). A
scatter plot of residuals and a plot of regression-standardized residuals
indicated a near normal distribution.
5. Discussion
To our knowledge, this is the first study to evaluate the relation-
ships between alexithymia, CRP and serum lipid levels in a sample of
drug-naïve adult outpatients with MD.
We found that alexithymics showed higher CRP than non-
alexithymics even if CRP was not associated with depression severity
in the linear regression model. The finding of higher CRP levels among
alexithymics may be consistent with the stress-alexithymia hypoth-
esis (Martin and Pihl, 1985): patients with more alexithymic features
may be suffering from chronic stress reaction that, on its own, can
promote transient and often subclinical increases in inflammatory
factors such as CRP and interleukins (Black, 2002; Jeanmonod et al.,
2004). Moreover, alexithymia is related to high cortisol levels due
to short-term stress reactions (Finset et al., 2006), and cortisol may
enhance the release of interleukin-6, the major inducer of CRP

production by liver (Baumann and Gauldie, 1994). Together, this may
further explain the higher CRP levels among individuals with
According to our results, the serum TC levels among alexithymic
depressed patients were significantly lower than those among non-
alexithymic depressed patients and was associated with an increased
MD severity in the linear regression. Moreover, the DIF and DDF
dimensions of the TAS-20 were noticeably associated with depression
severity, as shown also in previous studies (Marchesi et al., 2000; De
Gennaro et al., 2004). It is possible to hypothesize that individuals
with higher difficulty in identifying and describing feelings (even if
not necessarily categorized as alexithymics) may have higher depres-
sion severity, as has been demonstrated in previous studies (Saarijarvi
et al., 2001, 2006). Thus, in these patients, lower serum TC may be
related to depression severity.
Moreover, suicide risk seems associated with lower HDL levels as
well as DIF dimension of TAS-20. It has been reported that patients
with high risk of suicide may have lower serum HDL concentrations
(Zhang et al., 2005; Marcinko et al., 2008), which also seems to apply
to our observations. In addition, it has been previously demonstrated
that the DIF dimension of the TAS-20 is related to suicidal ideation
(Sakuraba et al., 2005). Thus, a combination of these factors may
account for the increased risk of suicide among MD patients in our
sample, even if further studies are needed.
All things considered, the results of our study support the notion
that alexithymic individuals with MD may show a cholesterol
dyregulation linked in an unclear way to suicide risk. In addition,
even if alexithymia can be considered a relatively stable personality
trait (Luminet et al., 2001; Saarijarvi et al., 2006), our overall results
may support Freyberger's concept (1977) of acute "secondary
alexithymia" as a reaction to stressful situations. Acute secondary
alexithymia is described as a transitory, state-dependent phenom-
enon that results as a consequence of personal distress, and which
may decrease once an acute disease episode has resolved. Through
such a perspective, it is possible that serum lipid alterations may
reflect a state-dependent phenomenon as we found a positive
correlation between TAS-20 and HAM-D/SSI. Also, as subjects positive
for alexithymia showed higher HAM-D scores than non-alexithymics
it is possible that cholesterol dysregulation may be due to both
depression and alexithymia, but further prospective studies are
needed in order to clarify this topic.
Between serum cholesterol and depression severity, it is rather
difficult to elucidate which is the cause and which the effect. Some
researchers have hypothesized that low serum cholesterol might
influence serotonin transmission and lead to depression (Engelberg,
1992; Vevera et al., 2005; De Berardis et al., 2008). In addition, poor
appetite, a common symptom of depression, might significantly
influence cholesterol levels. In any case, it was reported that low
cholesterol levels might impair neuronal membrane fluidity and
consequently the availability of serotonergic receptors (Heron et al.,
1980). This impairment may result in reduced presynaptic and
postsynaptic 5-HT neuronal activity and, consequently, low central
5-HT activity may explain depressive symptoms, impulsiveness and
suicidal behavior (Brown et al.,1982; Coccaro et al.,1989). However, to
remain unclear.
6. Study limitations
This study has several limitations, and results should therefore be
interpreted with caution. The first limitation of our study is the
absence of controls. Including controls in our analysis would have
afforded us the opportunity to compare levels of serum cholesterol
betweendepressed andnot depressedalexithymic or non-alexithymic
subjects, controlling forage,genderandBMI. Moreover, this study was
performed in a population with a relatively narrow age range (19–
45 years old) and results may not be generalized to other age groups,
including elderly or adolescent patients with MD.
The cross-sectional nature of our study and the inclusion of
relatively young subjects with MD imply that our sample may be
considered heterogeneous in terms of further course. Therefore, to
date, we cannot exclude that a major depressive episode may be a
precursor of a bipolar or psychotic disorder. Moreover, even if
exclusion of individuals receiving medications for cholesterol dysre-
gulation was obviously one of the sample selection criteria, it implies
that subjects with MD and prominent dyslipidemia were excluded
from the study. In addition, as MD is associated with appetite changes
and subsequent weight changes (that were not measured), exclusion
of individuals whose body weight had changed substantially within
the last four weeks prior to screening would have potentially resulted
in exclusion of individuals with significant depression. Finally,
individuals with mild depression (HAM-Db16) were excluded.
Taken together, these limitations may limit the generalization of our
results to all patients with MD.
Moreover, even if severity of depression and suicidal ideationwere
analysed using clinician-rated rating scales, alexithymia was assessed
bya self-rated scale, with possible biases due to the inherent nature of
self-rating scales. Finally, our study lacks of follow-up data. Definitive
assessments of CRP, serum lipid levels, mood states and alexithymia
require that patients should be followed longitudinally, with serial
cholesterol sampling as well after clinical remission and pharmaco-
logical treatment.

The mission deserves attention from more players and the Ambria series should be spotlighted.
I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it and I will look into implementing some of your suggestions. It may take a while for me to get to it as I am currently working on finishing part 2 of my Deianeira series

both parties decide to change the rules. Sorry, just being apathetic.
I am warming up to voting for any leading 3rd party candidate (mostly Johnson), especially after watching the free and equal debate. Just for the sake of the possibility of getting over that 5% hump for more funding. Of course until they Oligarchs find a way to alter that rule.

Greetings and Happy Tuesday, everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful three-day weekend! I am happy to report that as of Sunday, my raid finally got Imperator Mar'guk down (Normal only- we ARE casual, after all.) To commemorate (not really), today I will be discussing my overall thoughts on healing so far in Warlords of Draenor (Normal and Heroic instances as well as Normal and Heroic Highmaul.)
State of the (Healing) Union Address- Pre-Patch 6.1
And, so far healers… we're looking good.
DISCLAIMER: Again I say (as it seems I have to say this every time I make a post like this), my word is not the law. All of this is based on my PERSONAL experiences, and may not be the case for every healer on the planet, so before you come barking to me on reddit or Facebook or Twitter (or wherever you may find me) about "oh, well, you didn't mention 'this,'" please note that I did warn you that this is an article that is strictly my opinions on how things seem to be pre-Blackrock Foundry. Anyone who chooses to ignore this disclaimer will be mocked publicly. Also, cherry picking my posts to me will result in a verbal bitchslap that will sound something like, "Maybe you should include the rest of my post instead of the parts you wanted." YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. (If I need to put stars and sparkly shit around these Disclaimers to get people to read them I will. Don't test me.)
Anyone who's seen any of my Angry Healers' Guides to Highmaul knows my standard raid healer composition, but for those of you not in the know, I will enlighten you: I run with a Restoration Shaman, a Restoration Druid, a Holy Paladin, and a Discipline Priest (me!) so I can give you a fair assessment of their strengths as of right now and how they work in a raid (please keep in mind I am coming off of maining a Resto!Shaman myself in MoP.) As the healing lead for my raid team, I make sure I understand how my healers do their jobs and what, exactly, they have in their arsenal that I can call on to save our collective butts. And my team is pretty damn strong- we're not perfect, not by a long shot, but the fights we know, we have down to an art.
First, lemme talk about mana regen (which is a topic I first started out discussing when I revived this site.) We all know it took a significant hit at the beginning of WoD- it made healing Heroic instances and absolute nightmare of a task, but has been minimized by both player skill and overall gear scores. Healers have a much better grasp of what heals are needed when. We have gear that has Spirit on it (now that we finally have weapons worth spending three Temporal Crystals and five Sorcerous Fire on for Mark of Shadowmoon!) and we are balancing around it. We have a better understanding of how our classes work and boss mechanics that require us to think outside of the box.
Second, lemme talk to you about mechanics. Other people (being non-healers) have started understanding that THEY CAN'T STAND IN THE FIRE. (OK, not everyone has figured this out, but hey. It's a start. I'll take it.) Those non-healer types have realized that they can help their healers conserve mana by using personal defensive cooldowns, potions, and lock rocks. And we can tell! And, gods above, do we appreciate it! Healers love running with people who understand their classes- not just how to maximize their DPS rotations, but how to survive and encounter as long as possible. People now know that healers cannot- and will not!- heal them through avoidable damage anymore.
Let's bring this thing to a close with healing niches- yes, they still exist, but YE GODS try outhealing a Shaman on Brackenspore. It can't be done! Just because you are a niche healer doesn't mean you can't blow the healing charts up! Discipline is amazingly strong right now, with the ability to heal with their shields, and holy Pallies and their double Beacon make them amazing tank healers. Druids can literally spec to be the perfect tank or raid heals. And nothing- NOTHING- I've seen so far beats the Monk on sheer all out raid healing CD with Revival. Niches are there, and we are rocking them.
Healing right now is looking fan-tabulous. We took the nerfs in stride and we are proving that nothing can keep a good healer down.
Well, that's it outta me for now. Come back later on this week, I'll be talking about something, I'm sure. Until then, keep cool and stay angry, healers!

Reblooming iris
Does anyone in the Tenn. valley know the secret to getting reblooming iris to rebloom. I have a couple of "Immortality" which bloom in the spring but never again. Is there a trick? or is it too hot here? thanks
We had some reblooming iris in Md. When we purchased them, we were told to apply a slow release flower fertilizer to them after the first blooming. Also to be sure they got 4-5 hours of sun each day, and have plenty of organic matter in the soil. They bloomed in Spring, and again in late August. I'd be curious also as we are planning on getting some more reblooming iris now that we're settled here in Alabama.
Hello. This is my first year growing a reblooming iris variety ("Lady Friend.") It has just completed its first blooms and they looked very nice, though they only lasted a couple of days. My question is: Do you deadhead the plant to encourage reblooming later or just leave it as is ? Thanks !
Hi, ms xeno. I did what rjbman suggested and fertilized last summer, but mine did not rebloom. I take the dead stalks off all my iris. Hope you have better luck than I do. Maybe others might have suggestions. Actually my reblooming Encore azalea doesn't rebloom either. well maybe a scattered bloom here and there. I am really disappointed in the reblooming stuff. My stella d'oro lilies are the only ones that rebloom well.

When Lorrie Ines tied the knot for the first time, she was a youthful twenty-one years old. Ronald Reagan was president, Bon Jovi's "Livin' on a Prayer" topped the charts and IBM introduced the very first personal computer. That was in 1987 and more than just Ines' hairstyle has changed since then.
Ines, a now divorced 41-year old registered nurse in suburban San Francisco, will walk down the aisle for the second time in July to marry her fiancé Chris Hinton, who has never been married. The pair met online two years ago but will soon join a growing number of men and women who have found that society is becoming more accepting of these so-called "encore weddings" - and that the wedding industry is quickly following suit.
Deputy Editor of www.TheKnot.com , Kathleen Murray, says she's noticed more and more second-time brides registering on The Knot. "Many of them really feel like it's their first wedding and they want it to be as special as their first one. There still may be some raised eyebrows but most of the stigmas of getting married a second time are gone."
Encore weddings have become so popular that Beaches, the all-inclusive Caribbean resort, has designed special packages just for second-timers with kids. They call them "FamilyMoons TM", a combination wedding and honeymoon for the whole family. Joann Delgin, the Chief Romance Officer for Beaches (yes, it's on her business card), says "FamilyMoon TM" packages account for about ten percent of their wedding business and that number is growing. With 12,000 weddings at their resorts each year, that's a lot of "FamilyMoons TM".
"The events are usually small with about a dozen close family and friends gathered for the ceremony," Delgin says. "We offer a 'sand ceremony' where the bride and groom and children from both sides each scoops up their own vile of sand, then one by one they pour it into a larger glass container." Couples can take the container home and keep it as a symbol of the two families coming together as one.
Other couples exchange rings with each other and give their kids rings of their own as a way of including them in the ceremony. "Also popular, is giving a child a necklace or medallion that has the birthstones of each member embedded in it as a symbol of becoming one family," says Delgin.
Event planner Preston Bailey says intimate destination weddings are very popular for encore brides and grooms. Bailey, who planned the extravagant Palm Beach wedding of Donald Trump and wife Melania Knauss, says he's planned second weddings at a private villa in Turks and Caicos, on the terrace of a luxury hotel overlooking the ocean in Jamaica and steps from the ocean on an Antigua beach. "Most couples are very relaxed. They've been through it before and they know what they want." "Young sons are often ring bearers or daughters are flower girls. One thing is for certain", says Bailey, "family is always a big part."
Bride-to-be Lorrie Ines has two children from her previous marriage, both of whom will be an important part of her wedding. Ashley, her eighteen-year old daughter, is her maid of honor and her son Brian, 15, will escort his mom down the aisle. Ines admits her eyes welled up with tears when she saw Brian try on his tuxedo. "He looked so grown up," she said.

About the ManufacturerIn the 1970's, Paul, Edmund, Alex, and Steven Peykar first became involved in the carpet and area rug business at the retail level, operating a store in Westbury, Long Island. Those years provided the brothers with truly invaluable experience in understanding the needs, the supply and merchandising issues, that confronted retailers who depended on traditional importers and replenishment strategies.

7 Quick Ways to Calm Down
Anxiety zappers that can rescue you from daily stresses
By Therese J. Borchard
I'm easily overwhelmed. When my kids' exuberant screams reach a decibel level my ears can't tolerate, when Chuck E., the life-size "rat" at the pizza place, starts doing his jig while flashing arcade lights blind me, or when I open my email to find 100 messages--I feel a meltdown coming on. Which is why I came up with seven quick ways to calm myself down.
I turn to these when I don't have time to call my mom and hear her tell me, "Everything is going to be fine." They keep me centered and grounded for as long as possible, and they help me relax my body even during those times when screaming kids and dancing life-size rats converge.

This edition of Radio Free Acton features an interview with Larry Schweikart – drummer, history professor, and producer of the documentary "Rockin' The Wall" – on the power of music and the influence of rock and roll in undermining communism in the Soviet empire. When we think about the fall of the Berlin Wall, it's only natural that names like Reagan, Thatcher, and Pope John Paul II come to mind, but there were other elements involved in the battle against communism that also played important roles in its downfall, including cultural influences. How did western rock and pop music help to undermine Soviet Communism? Schweikart, former drummer for Rampage, explains how it happened.
A new online exhibit: European Memories of the Gulag. (HT: Instapundit/Claire Berlinski)
From 1939 to 1953, nearly one million people were deported to the Gulag from the European territories annexed by the USSR at the start of the Second World War and those that came under Soviet influence after the War: some to work camps but most as forced settlers in villages in Siberia and Central Asia. An international team of researchers has collected 160 statements from former deportees, photographs of their lives, documents from private and public archives and films. Many of these witnesses had never spoken out before.
In these statements and these documents, the Museum invites you to explore a neglected chapter of the history of Europe.

Yes - it's an Elder. If you have multiple pictures it gets rather confusing quite quickly as they immediately start to drift apart on the page if they are all in separate posts. To add pictures to your post you can reply to your own post. If the site won't let you just alter the heading slightly.

Make a home for wildlife
3 December 2009
Image: Andy Hay
We recommend that cutting hedges and trees is avoided between March and August as this is the main breeding season for nesting birds.
A hedge needs to be managed to ensure it maintains its function as a shelter and refuge for wildlife and doesn't grow out of control and cause issues with neighbours, or reduces access.

Laughter is the best medicine!
I believe that a smile is infectious and I'm a sucker for a kool aid grin. I'm silly, sarcastic, honest to a fault, genuine, independent, generous and love to giggle! I work in the medical field and simply love what I do. Its very rewarding to be able to help people and get paid to do it! I'm extremely close to my family and friends whom I spend quite a bit of time with. I'm looking for that person who can make me smile with little effort. Someone I can relax around, have fun and just be myself with. Is that you?? Well then...I dare you to make me smile :)

Looove my pets! I have a maine coon named Maiya and a min pin named Dolce.
I absolutely love downtown, whether its daytime events like the Food and Wine Festival, Farmers Market at Lake Eola or the block parties at night. OLV in SoDo.
I like a variety of music..some favs are Imagine Dragons, SafetySuit, Snow Patrol, The Script, Slightly Stoopid. I really don't watch much tv aside from movies. Pizza is my absolute favorite but also love asian food.
I am a movie fanatic and watch them often, whether its at a theater or at home. Love to be either by the pool or at the beach..I am a true Floridian! Spending time with family and friends. I love to cook and find my zen while in the kitchen :)
Currently reading the Beautiful Creatures novels.

In my app, Im using CoreData and I have two entities. VenueInfo and ContactInfo.
In the app, you can add venues, and each venue has ContactInfo. So I've setup a one to one relationship in my model.
So I would imagine, I could simply do the following:
[venue.contact setValue:textField.text forKey:email];
So like so you'd set the email attribute of the contact object which belongs to the venue. However this doesn't work, any ideas?
Is it possible because the contact object doesn't exist yet? Hope you can help, thanks.
