A Google Glass tester who was ticketed for wearing the device while driving has seen her case dismissed.
Cecilia Abadie was pulled over by a California Highway Patrol officer in October for speeding, but when officer realized that she was wearing Google Glass, he added the felony charge of watching a TV monitor while driving.
The San Diego municipal court ruled however that there was no proof that the head mounted screen was turned on at the time, a fact that Abadie denied.
Commissioner John Blair told the courtroom that there was "the purview and intent" to breach the law by viewing a computer monitor while driving, but there was no way of proving that a crime had actually taken place.
This leaves the legality of wearing Google Glass while driving unresolved. Although Abadie's felony charge was dismissed, the rules regarding the use of Google Glass are still far from clear and based on laws that predate the new technology. Therefore, this doesn't mean that Google Glass has been cleared for use on public roads in the U.S. and the same situation could reoccur.
"I believe we have to start experimenting with devices like this...," the acquitted Abadie told reporters. "A hands-free device is safer than a cell phone."
There's something mildly annoying about this ruling, however. Not because we wanted to see a conviction, but because there's no closure. We're no clearer than we were before about the rules regarding the use of Google Glass, and there's no sign that anything is going to be done to clear up the confusion any time soon.

SIRS Publishing has released eCurriculum, an online curriculum that uses an e-textbook to dynamically link users to information from SIRS' databases and its collection of Web sites. This advanced technology creates a curriculum that emphasizes reading, writing and critical thinking skills.
eCurriculum allows users to assimilate their research within the textbook to create their own personal, living e-book. This personal archive becomes a diary of the user's educational experience, while promoting lifelong-learning skills and problem-solving techniques. The program gives educators the ability to customize the program as a supplement to an existing textbook or curriculum, or as a stand-alone reference.
The product was developed for students at an adult reading level - eighth-graders and above - and aligns with national and state curriculum standards, provides continually updated content, an online educator's guide, a user's guide, e-mail communication capabilities and research tools. Other features include graphics, full-text articles, government documents, a glossary, a dictionary and statistics. SIRS, Boca Raton, FL, (800) 232-7477, www.sirs.com.

Capdeville is a rock 'n' roll neighborhood bar tucked off of quiet Capdeville Street in the Central Business District. Designed to mimic a British social house—with edge—the buttoned up business crowd can unwind in a space with a jukebox, racy wallpaper, and album covers for art. The cocktails are custom but unpretentious, and ordering a bottle of Bud won't garner any scorn. And if you're watching a game or stopping in for lunch, Capdeville serves burgers, sandwiches, and salads to provide a sturdy base for drinking.

Financial Liberalization and Competition in Banking: an Empirical Investigation
We ask whether Israeli banks lost market power as a consequence of financial liberalization, despite the fact that the banking industry remained highly concentrated. We estimate a "monopoly power" conduct parameter and a "monopsony power" conducte parameter, jointly, for the non-indexed local currency loan and deposit markets, building on the method developed in Bresnahan (1982, 1989), Porter (1983), and Lee and Porter (1984).Download Info

Big shift for district board

My many thanks to Steve Olson, Ed Bailey and Fiona Walter on their service to our school district and to our community.... You are leaving the school districe doing well. Many Thanks!
on Jul 7, 2012 at 9:35 am
There are many things that Mr. Olson has contributed as a board member, and current President. It is indeed a large commitment to this type of position (also the HS Board and the City Council). Several of the members on these government bodies have essentially made community service in-lieu of full-time employment commitments. I personally know Walter, Wheeler, and Mitchner (schools) and Siegal and Bryant (city) have made this commitment.
Stephen stepped up to run (2008), even though he has a full-time job in finance at Stanford. IMO, it was much better to have a 'stand up' rather than an appointed member. The problem with appointment? Board members tend to appoint those who 'think like themselves'. A 'team'. But look at Penn State athletics - or the dire administrative problems at Woodside and Portola schools to see some of the pitfalls of 'team thinking'.
I like my local democracy lively with ideas - have you been to one of our wonderful city council meetings lately! What a great standard of lively discussion, new ideas, compromise, and open community input (how many citizens does it take to do an environmental plan - or a Rengstorff Park plan?)

You've got my vote Mr. Nelson.

LACMA Restaurants
Thanks for the suggestions! One more question... how far is Son of a Gun from LACMA? Walking distance. That was a suggestion from a friend...
Does Ray's take reservations? If so, get them, this exhibition should be big. If you want to stay casual, there are usually a ton of food trucks parked on Wilshire, directly across from the museum.
If you don't want to eat at LACMA, and you can walk a little, you're fairly close to the Old Farmer's Market and the Grove--I think it would be a 10-15 minute walk.
Tom Bergin's is also fairly close, but I've never been a fan.
I like Ray's, and a visit to LACMA is about the only reason to go -- for me anyway.
If you don't eat at the museum, I would suggest Mendocino Farms (sandwiches, but it's way more than a "deli"), or Yuko for teriyaki bowls.

As the holiday shopping season swings into full gear, our 2012 Cone Communications Holiday Trend Tracker reveals cause is still key to holiday marketing, with nearly three-quarters of consumers expecting companies to support causes this busy shopping season. What has become less clear is whether tying a cause ribbon around a product is enough to convince consumers to purchase.
According to the Trend Tracker, just 16 percent of consumers plan to purchase, or have already purchased, cause-related gifts (a decrease from 49% in 2010). Why this shift?

A few more days here before we do the canaries leg as a big weather front coming in .... No sign of baby ( first grandchild ) ...

... to find the house as a rendezvous point we all gathered at Lagos Mc Donald's. In convoy, following the agent we went to the villa. Wow! Like a feature from Homes & Gardens the massive luxury pad has all we expected and much more. Better, however than all of the great things, is to have our gorgeous and wonderful family assembled here. Lovely people. Bloody marvellous. ...
Adios, muchas gracias Espana! Hola Portugal!

Imogen took the remainder of the afternoon to rest whilst I walked to find the beach nearby and mazed around the town. We had collected items for a salad for dinner so for the first time in a while we prepared a simple healthy and very cheap meal at the hostel.
Off to Portugal!
... before our 3 hour drive to our next stop in Armacro De Pera, just past Faro in Portugal. A couple of caches along the way broke up the journey nicely (& Dane was very happy once we had our first Portuguese cache, another country to add to his list of those he has geocached in).

The weekend before I left, my friend Ellian and I went for a long walk around the city and she gave me a bracelet she made from beads she got in Israel. It is an "evil eye" to protect me from those who might look at me with an evil eye. I have worn it ...

A New York Times column from Eduardo Porter considers money in American politics at a historically interesting time—some academics have long argued that there isn't enough money in our political process, considering what that money could potentially buy:
"The discrepancy between the value of policy and the amounts contributed strains basic economic intuitions," Mr. Ansolabehere and his colleagues wrote. "Given the value of policy at stake, firms and other interest groups should give more."
But, the column says, it's not clear how effective campaign contributions or lobbying actually is over time, when you look at corporate profits.
The limited impact of money on election outcomes or legislation raises two questions, of course: why do politicians spend such time and effort raising money? And why do companies make donations at all? Maybe politicians fear facing a lopsided race if they disarm unilaterally. Legislators may be able to rustle up corporate contributions without changing legislation simply by hinting at irksome new laws or regulations if the money is not forthcoming.
The upshot? Apparently it's been a heck of a lot easier for corporations to sway the voting public on things voters know less about, like propositions and ballot issues, than on candidates. But that new resources "could transform elections into something akin to ballot initiatives, where money has a proven track record in molding the outcome."

It's a show. I want it inside my eyes and ears. But there's so much of it. Where should I start?
There's the new series, and the old series. The old series existed over a million years ago and a few episodes are lost forever. The new series, which began in 2005, is probably the best place to start. You can watch it without getting totally lost, so start from there. (Funny you should ask. I just started watching the new series from the beginning just this afternoon.)
I agree with Contrary. The new series is what got me into Doctor Who.
Start with NuWho.
Yeah, start with 2005. Enjoy the three new Doctors. Get caught up, and then finish watching this current season as it airs. Once this season is over, you'll have some time until the Christmas special airs, so spend that time watching some of the classic series (that is, if you enjoyed what you saw of the new series enough to want to). If you have Netflix, you can get caught up on past seasons of the new series through it, and then you can also watch a lot of classic episodes through it as well.
Originally Posted by Satoshi-kun If you have Netflix, you can get caught up on past seasons of the new series through it, and then you can also watch a lot of classic episodes through it as well. Exactly. So, make time to lock yourself in your room for a few days while you watch Dr Who from start to finish nonstop watch one or two episodes every night. Maybe more on the weekends.
Oh, and other thing. If the word "blink" is in the title, don't watch it at 3am in a darkened room with your laptop inches away from your face. Learn from my mistakes!
Start with the 2005 episode called Rose.
Thanks everyone! I will watch it over breakfast on Netflix like I did with Avatar: The Last Airbender. (Side note: NETFLIX Y U NO KORRA!?)

All week i have been asked to think critical to think of every possible outcome, and your question made me think alot too damn you >.< guess i wont be able to sleep until 3 again
Martin, I still love you and I always will. I'm trying to move on but it hasn't been that easy. we are so far apart i haven't seen you in months yet my feelings haven't changed. I can still remember the first time you ever spoke to me, the first time you hugged me, the first time you kissed me, the first time i looked into your eyes, i remember every moment i was with you, i remember exactly how i felt because i still feel the same way. My heart still beats fast when i think about you. The words you spoke to me the word i spoke to you will never be erased from my mind. You know sometimes I forget we are not together anymore, Subconsciously i will write a text to you telling you how much i love you and miss you right before i send it i remember your not mine anymore :/ And end up crying at night before bed. You know just being friends with you hurts because i want to be more than friends, yet if I or you break the friendship my heart will completely fall apart because you are one of the few no you are the only one i can talk too and I mean really talk. sad part is that when i feel the need to talk to you, your going to sleep or your in class or you take forever to text me back...and by the time you do i would have already cried and tried my best to forget it talking to u about it then would just make me cry again... still when we do talk you still make me happy and smile and my heart skip like nobody else can, i dont want to lose that. I love you as a friend and as a girl. only the friend part you can respond to i know that and i will take what i can get. Besides they are some cute guys here i can look at to distracted myself with and of course cute girls n.n
Now tell me what good does my confession do? Will things change now that I have confessed? No, I will still cry. I will still dream of you. I will still relive the memories of us in my head everyday i miss you because it make me happy it make me smile it makes me strong. You don't feel the same way for me anymore, i know. Do i feel better telling you? No. From the day you kissed me i was left open and vulnerable.
Every girl is different yet we are all the same in some way. The that goes for guys too. If you want to know a person feeling you must first take the risk, its your choice. You control your own life.
Now #2, #3,#10, #12,#13, #15/#16 god damn that a lot of numbers lol xD

A cartoon for DnD Fans
Dragonlance: Dragons of Autumn Twilight (DVD)
Member Name: Dentolux
Dragonlance: Dragons of Autumn Twilight (DVD)
Date: 15/12/11
Advantages: A good cast of voice actors, entertaining story for those familiar with the role playing game.
Disadvantages: Below average CGI dragons don't blend with the handdrawn characters, rushed story.
During my quest for DnD stories I stumbled upon the direct to DVD animated movie Dragonlance: Dragons of Autumn Twilight based on a popular eighties fantasy novel. Result! I may struggle to get through hefty tomes, but as an anime fan when it comes to watching cartoons I am the man. The movie is based on a Dungeons and Dragons session played out by the authors Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman which is rather impressive. I doubt anyone would want to serialise the game I am currently playing. Let's just say that a story involving a warrior who smokes during combat, a sorcerer who gathers exploding nuts and a duellist who abandons her party for a fling with a seedy musketeer is hardly what I would class as good literature.
I had high hopes for this movie as the people behind the project have impressive resumes. Director Will Meugniot for example worked on a number of cartoons I enjoyed as a kid including X-Men, G.I Joe and The Real Ghostbusters. He was even involved with Jem, one of the few girlie cartoons I would class as mildly entertaining (gasp what an outrageous, truly truly outrageous, remark to make.) The cast included some big names amongst accomplished voice actors including Michael Rosenbaum (Lex Luther in Smallville), Kiefer Sutherland (the badass Jack Bauer from 24) and New Zealand Amazon goddess Lucy Lawless (who you may know better as Xena Warrior Princess.)
An action packed start to the proceedings sees the ranger Tanis and his good buddy Flint Fireforge, a dwarf with an aversion to water, locked in mortal combat with a band of goblins. Things are not going well for our heroes until the halfling thief known as Tasslehoff (not to be confused with the drunken actor who drives talking cars) intervenes. The tide of battle sways resulting in Tanis and co emerging victorious. Like a group of football hooligans, after a good punch up, the party decides to celebrate their victory by having a drink at the local tavern. There they reunite with their travelling companions the heroic Sturm Brightblade and the Majere brothers Caramon and Raistlin.
It appears that the group are not the only patrons of the pub who are having goblin trouble. Whilst enjoying their drink they meet up with the blonde cleric Goldmoon and her protector/love interest Riverwind. During their booze up they learn that the duo are being harassed by green skins who want to get their filthy hands on Goldmoon's staff which is imbued with mystical healing powers. As the stave's magical properties could be linked to Tanis' ongoing investigation into the return of the Old Gods both groups end up joining forces, although relations are strained as Riverwind distrusts Tanis' half elf/human heritage (looks like even fantasy worlds have racial discrimination.)
From this point on I cannot go into too much detail without giving away major spoilers, but as the adventure continues we learn that the goblins are lackeys for a roided up wizard named Verminaard. The source of Verminaard's power comes from a dark goddess who wants the holy staff destroyed so it's only a matter of time before both groups cross swords. It all culminates in a final battle with the good guys trying to rescue kidnapped villagers from Verminaard's army of goblins and dragonkin. They have to pull out a deus ex machina to resolve the final conflict, which I didn't care for, but I suppose it ultimately tied in with the story's theme of Tanis questioning his faith.
Overall I enjoyed Dragonlance: Dragons of Autumn Twilight, although I suspect I fall into the audience of casual fantasy fans Wizard of the Coast want to attract with this film. There are elements of the story which I liked, but some weak parts will probably put off people who aren't into cartoons or those who find fantasy tales cheesy. Ironically enough fans of the book may also join the naysayers in regards to the quality of the film as I understand that a lot of sacrifices had to be made to squeeze an epic yarn into a ninety minute motion picture. Personally I am not too fussed as it is generally accepted that books always outshine their film adaptations, but I may feel differently were I a die hard fan of the source material.
Visually speaking what we get here is a mixed bag. Some of the artwork was good, but a lot of it reeked of a straight to DVD title with a limited budget. My biggest complaint would have to be the Asian studio's insistence to mix traditional 2D drawings with 3D computer generated characters. The majority of the film was drawn by hand, but the enemy dragons were all put together on a computer which I didn't care for. The action sequences featuring the dragonkin didn't mesh well as it felt like the heroes were swiping at thin air where computer generated monsters would later be super imposed in post production. If they had to have CGI I would have preferred a more subtle approach of using it to spice up spell effects or spruce up the backgrounds.
Like a number of animated movies I have seen recently Dragonlance passed the time during a boring Sunday afternoon, but it's not something I feel deserves a place in my DVD collection. Given the high calibre of voice actors they recruited for the project I suspect Wizard of the Coast was hoping to turn the book series into a franchise of cartoon films. Given the lukewarm reception viewers have had to it who knows if the idea will ever see fruition. Watching the movie did however succeed in making me want to read the more extensive books as the story feels rushed with only minimal character development given to Tanis and Raistlin (the evil wizard voiced by Sutherland.) Should you buy it? Only if you roll a fifteen or higher on a D20.
Summary: Mildly entertaining fantasy cartoon, although I suspect the books are better.

Wnt signaling pathways are important for multiple biological processes during development and disease. Wnt proteins are secreted factors that activate target-gene expression in both a short- and long-range manner. Currently, little is known about how Wnts are released from cells and which factors facilitate their secretion. Here, we identify a conserved multipass transmembrane protein, Evenness interrupted (Evi/Wls), through an RNAi survey for transmembrane proteins involved in Drosophila Wingless (Wg) signaling. During development, evi mutants have patterning defects that phenocopy wg loss-of-function alleles and fail to express Wg target genes. evi's function is evolutionarily conserved as depletion of its human homolog disrupts Wnt signaling in human cells. Epistasis experiments and clonal analysis place evi in the Wg-producing cell. Our results show that Wg is retained by evi mutant cells and suggest that evi is the founding member of a gene family specifically required for Wg/Wnt secretion.

Filing for state office, which ended June 9, found seven candidates filing for the position of Lieutenant Governor left open by the incumbent and Governor hopeful.
Current Lieutenant Governor Jari Askins is running for Governor and will subsequently be stepping down at the end of her term.
Five Republicans filed for the position however early polling numbers only include two candidates , as SoonerPoll could not foresee how many candidates would join the race. A clear leader has emerged between the two candidates that were polled, Todd Lamb received 24.1 percent of respondents support while John Wright received 17 percent.
"The talk at the capitol always placed Lamb as the presumed front-runner," Keith Gaddie, Vice President of SoonerPoll, said. "However, Senator Lamb and Representative Wright are starting off from a similar baseline, with the initial advantage to Lamb. The question is one of who has the political resources and ability to open up a lead and consolidate the numerous undecided voters in this primary."
SoonerPoll.com, Oklahoma's Public Opinion Pollster, conducted the scientific study using live interviewers by telephone of 324 likely voters from May 25 – June 9, 2010. The study has a margin of error of ± 5.4 percent.
Lamb is a former Secret Service agent and aide to Gov. Frank Keating, and currently serves the 47th district in the state senate. Lamb's campaign is focused on business retention and a commitment to promotion of tourism to the state.
Wright currently represents Broken Arrow in the state House but will be term-limited this year after serving 12 years. Wright has said that as Lieutenant Governor he would not only promote the state through tourism but also encourage individuals to improve themselves through education.
Although Lamb leads, a majority of respondents remain undecided, leaving room for Wright, or any of the other three candidates, to close the gap given the right fund-raising and campaigning decisions.
"Financial reports indicate a clear advantage, starting out, to Todd Lamb," Gaddie said. "To overhaul him will require a substantial fund-raising and organizational effort. In a season with so many hot contests, activist and donor fatigue can make this difficult for a late-starting candidate. "
Bernie Adler a real estate investor from Oklahoma City who hopes to be "an effective watchdog for the people," Bill Crozier, of Hinton, who first gained attention in his campaign for school superintendent in 2006, and Paul F. Nosak of Owasso also have hopes of filling the Lt. Governor vacancy.
The one Democrat in the race, Kenneth Corn, has been actively campaigning for several months. A state Senator from Howe, Corn previously served two terms in the House of Representatives before being elected to serve as District Four's State Senator in 2002. Faced with term limits, Corn has set his sights on the Lieutenant Governor seat where he hopes to "fill vacant store fronts" and create jobs.
One Independent has joined the race, Richard Prawdzienski, former Libertarian Party state chairman active in the American Legion, will run as an Independent since Oklahoma does not officially recognize the Libertarian party.
Once the Republican nomination is determined, Soonerpoll will begin to examine the three-cornered race for the number two position in state government.
One Response to Many file for Lieutenant Governor, leader emerges as primaries loom
what is the world coming to when a sociopath such as paul f nosak can run for office as an official candiadate. Do they not check people for mental illness and disablility first. just check him out on http://www.oscn.net or http://www.nosakraw.com……what a joke politic is if a hillbilly freak can run. wasnt this the king of the night trips strippers club

A Toast to Hipster Toast!
As San Franciscans, we excel in elevating even the most mundane of activities–especially all those early morning rituals that keep our days centered. From steaming mugs of artisan coffee, to cold glasses of fresh-squeezed juice, to perfectly assembled pieces of toast, we find a way to make everything become a "trending" food item. Thanks to an abundance of expert bread bakers in our very own city, "hipster toast," cut thick, slathered with an array of ingredients from avocado to butter to jam to powdered sugar can convert even the most stubborn of skeptics. Try them for yourself:
The Mill (pictured above)
Divisadero's newest gem, The Mill, proudly serves up Four Barrel and some of the best toast in town. Josey Baker Bread, recently named one of Food & Wine's "Best New Chef All-Stars," has been peddling his bread around San Francisco for years. Lucky for us, he's found a permanent home at The Mill, where he sells full loaves and serves a rotating menu of thick-cut toasts. Highlights include whole wheat toast with butter and almond butter, cinnamon raisin bread with McCelland's butter and sea salt, country bread with butter and apricot preserves, and dark mountain rye with cream cheese.

Blue Bottle has numerous locations throughout the city, all of which brew many San Franciscan's favorite cup of joe. Their Mint Plaza location, in addition to their trademark coffee, offers a small menu of breakfast items, including Acme Bakery thick toast, served with Spring Hill Creamery whipped butter and jam by Mountain Fruit. Unlike our other toast contenders, Blue Bottle serves the butter and jam on the side for you to apply as you please (but we prefer the mouthwatering, pre-buttered, oozing toasts).

The original creator of this trend, Trouble Coffee, has been serving up their classic "Build Your Own Damn House" combination for years. It involves their famous cinnamon toast served with a coffee and coconut juice in a real coconut for $8. Slathered in butter, cinnamon, and sugar, this treat is sinfully decadent.
photo by Foodspotting user Chemie.
A few doors down, Outerlands serves equally mouth-watering toast of their own. Their house-baked levain bread is crisped and served with stonefruit jam and butter. If you're interested in a heartier breakfast, their thick-sliced bread is also used in an open-faced sandwich topped with fried egg, much like the "toad in a hole" from our childhoods.
photo by Yelp user Lolia S.
Opened just a couple weeks ago by way of Kickstarter, Café St. Jorge offers a variety of Portuguese baked goods–a rarity in this town. A menu of various toasts include butter, cream cheese, almond butter with banana and honey, hummus, or avocado spread, lemon juice, chili flakes, and sea salt. They also offer cinnamon raisin thick-cut toast and gluten-free toast for carb-challenged individuals. Toast for all!

Can a prospect in his late 20's breakout and succeed in the majors?
Posted 25 January 2012 - 05:37 PM
Bryan LaHair is 29 and this season should be his 1st FULL-TIME shot at the big league level. I was wondering if any other prospects in the past had come up in their late 20's and still been able to be significant contributors. The list of those late-blooming prospects that failed is probably much longer than the list of those that succeeded, but I'm hopeful LaHair can be a nice surprise this season.
Here are a few of the late-blooming prospect types that make me hope LaHair can join this list. If you know of others, do share...
Henry Rodriguez - no full time play until joining Expos at age 28.
5 seasons of 20+ HR's, 6 seasons of OPS+ over 100, and even an all-star
Kevin Youilis - 27 years old when he first played 100+ MLB games. OPS+
topping 100 every season since then, consistently among best in league
OBP and averaging 20 HR's a season, and a WS champion
Jeff Conine - no full time chance til 27, wound up in 2 all star appearances
WS champion almost 2,000 hits and 200+ HR's, played til age 41

The point remains though that the number of guys to break out as hitters at this age with virtually no playing time in the major leagues is a far shorter list than the guys that haven't in the same situation.

If you were going to go this route, you could probably add Michael Morse (didn't get a full-time shot until he was 28/29, and was ridiculous last year).
True story. I was at a Cubs-Nats game last August in and he hit a towering shot into the bleachers off of Garza. Morse has a strange pre-AB routine but the dude can mash.

Community mental health nurses (CMHNs) care for people living in the community with severe and chronic mental illnesses. They also provide counselling and support for patients with less severe illnesses, who are referred by their GPs. Techniques such as problem-solving treatment may be used to help such patients.
The aims of the study were (1) to compare the effectiveness of CMHN problem-solving and generic CMHN care, against usual GP care in reducing symptoms, alleviating problems, and improving social functioning and quality of life; and (2) to undertake a costutility, cost-effectiveness or cost-minimisation comparison of each CMHN treatment compared with usual GP care, evaluating not only the direct costs of treatment but also patient costs, including time off work.
The study was designed as a pragmatic, randomised controlled trial with three arms: CMHN problem-solving, generic CMHN care and usual GP care. General practices in Hampshire and Dorset were included in the study. CMHNs were employed by local NHS trusts providing community mental health services.
Participants were general practice patients aged 1865 years with a new episode of anxiety, depression or reaction to life difficulties. For inclusion, patients had to score at least 3 points on the General Health Questionnaire-12 screening tool. Symptoms had to be present for a minimum of 4 weeks but no longer than 6 months.
Patients were randomised to one of three groups: (1) CMHN problem-solving treatment: a brief structured treatment designed to be given in primary care to help to resolve problems, (2) generic CMHN treatment: nurses were asked to help patients become well as quickly as possible using whatever treatments they were experienced in giving, or (3) usual GP care: GPs were asked to treat the patients as they would normally. All three groups of patients remained free to consult their GPs throughout the course of the study, and could be prescribed psychotropic drug treatments.
Patients were assessed at baseline, and 8 weeks and 26 weeks after randomisation. The primary outcome measure was psychological symptoms measured on the Clinical Interview Schedule Revised. Other measures included social functioning, health-related quality of life, problem severity and satisfaction. The economic outcomes were evaluated with a costutility analysis.
Twenty-four CMHNs were trained to provide problem-solving under supervision, and another 29 were referred patients for generic support. In total, 247 patients were randomised to the three arms of the study, referred by 98 GPs in 62 practices. All three groups of patients were greatly improved by the 8-week follow-up. No significant differences were found between the groups at 8 weeks or 26 weeks in symptoms, social functioning or quality of life. Greater satisfaction with treatment was found in the CMHN groups. CMHN care represented a significant additional health service cost and there were no savings in sickness absence.
Specialist mental health nurse support is no better than support from GPs for patients with anxiety, depression and reactions to life difficulties.
The results suggest that primary care trusts could consider adopting policies of restricting referrals of unselected patients with common mental disorders to specialist CMHNs. There may be other roles in primary care that CMHNs could play effectively, for instance consultation and liaison to support members of the primary healthcare team, or the provision of treatment for patients not responding to self-help or primary care team interventions, in managed stepped care systems, for which there is emerging evidence from the USA. However, this will compete with the need for CMHTs within community mental health teams to deliver the emerging psychosocial therapies for patients with severe and enduring mental illness, such as compliance therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy for moderate to severe depression and psychotic illnesses.
The following areas should be considered for future research:
Kendrick T, Simons L, Mynors-Wallis L, Gray A, Lathlean J, Pickering R, et al. A trial of problem-solving by community mental health nurses for anxiety, depression and life difficulties among general practice patients. The CPN-GP study. Health Technol Assess 2005;9(37).
The research findings from the NHS R&D Health Technology Assessment (HTA) Programme directly influence key decision-making bodies such as the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the National Screening Committee (NSC) who rely on HTA outputs to help raise standards of care. HTA findings also help to improve the quality of the service in the NHS indirectly in that they form a key component of the National Knowledge Service that is being developed to improve the evidence of clinical practice throughout the NHS.
The HTA Programme was set up in 1993. Its role is to ensure that high-quality research information on the costs, effectiveness and broader impact of health technologies is produced in the most efficient way for those who use, manage and provide care in the NHS. Health technologies are broadly defined to include all interventions used to promote health, prevent and treat disease, and improve rehabilitation and long-term care, rather than settings of care.
The HTA Programme commissions research only on topics where it has identified key gaps in the evidence needed by the NHS. Suggestions for topics are actively sought from people working in the NHS, the public, service-users groups and professional bodies such as Royal Colleges and NHS Trusts.
Research suggestions are carefully considered by panels of independent experts (including service users) whose advice results in a ranked list of recommended research priorities. The HTA Programme then commissions the research team best suited to undertake the work, in the manner most appropriate to find the relevant answers. Some projects may take only months, others need several years to answer the research questions adequately. They may involve synthesising existing evidence or conducting a trial to produce new evidence where none currently exists.
Additionally, through its Technology Assessment Report (TAR) call-off contract, the HTA Programme is able to commission bespoke reports, principally for NICE, but also for other policy customers, such as a National Clinical Director. TARs bring together evidence on key aspects of the use of specific technologies and usually have to be completed within a short time period.
Criteria for inclusion in the HTA monograph series
Reports are published in the HTA monograph series if (1) they have resulted from work commissioned for the HTA Programme, and (2) they are of a sufficiently high scientific quality as assessed by the referees and editors.
Reviews in Health Technology Assessment are termed systematic when the account of the search, appraisal and synthesis methods (to minimise biases and random errors) would, in theory, permit the replication of the review by others.
The research reported in this monograph was commissioned by the HTA Programme as project number 97/43/09. The contractual start date was in May 2000. The draft report began editorial review in May 2004 and was accepted for publication in January 2005. As the funder, by devising a commissioning brief, the HTA Programme specified the research question and study design. The authors have been wholly responsible for all data collection, analysis and interpretation, and for writing up their work. The HTA editors and publisher have tried to ensure the accuracy of the authors report and would like to thank the referees for their constructive comments on the draft document. However, they do not accept liability for damages or losses arising from material published in this report.
The views expressed in this publication are those of the authors and not necessarily those of the HTA Programme or the Department of Health.

Excellent game, with very unique and solid gameplay, nice story and (as usual) fantastic music.
However, graphic is the worst part of the game, maybe, but overall it looks nice and stylish so I gave it 6 points.
Muddasheep's music is nearly the most atmospheric part in his games - 10 points, without discussion.
Humour is OK, but many jokes are too simple. I wanted to give 4 points for it, but "Stayin' alive!" definitely adds 2 points! Thanks!
Anyway - this is very original game and I recommend it to everyone! Thank you very much again, muddasheep - you are one of the most original and creative game developers I knew!
P.s. Please, sorry for my English, I'm from Ukraine!
unlike my normla reviews, i'll tell you this:
Man this game is sweetest I have ever played. A bit hard, but funny and it makes you think a lot. Sound, however, gets repetetive. Anyone who will post a walkthru?
Awesome Game, Really Makes You Think Hard!
I enjoyed this game mainly cuz I love a game where you really have to plan ahead and then execute the moves. Level 26 by far was the hardest until i got the timing down pat. I love games where you have to get the timing just right and you have to do it quick. A great challenging game indeed and I hope to see more! Keep up the good work on your games and Neek is so hilarious I hope you keep him in the next game if there is any way to lol!
Pretty Good
Not a bad game, and it was pretty entertaining.
Keep up the good work.

Book Description:A distillation of the acclaimed English translation of a revered Tibetan classicThe Tibetan Book of the Dead is the most significant of all Tibetan Buddhist writings in the West and one of the most inspirational and compelling texts in world literature. In Meditations on Living, Dying and Loss, Graham Coleman, the editor of Viking?s acclaimed unabridged translation of The Tibetan Book of the Dead, collects the most beautifully written passages, ones that draw out the central perspectives most relevant to modern experience: What is death? How can we help those who are dying? And how can we come to terms with bereavement? New to this edition are Coleman?s introduction and his brilliant and incisive essays, which preface each chapter and provide the seeker entrée to these ancient insights. With introductory commentary by His Holiness the Dalai Lama and a highly praised translation by Gyurme Dorje, this succinct but authoritative volume will convey the profundity of the original to those hungry for a better understanding of this life and the next.

I'm sure these are good coaching schools - but I wonder how a school gets licensed by IAC when there is no IAC Certification associated with that school?
IAC certification is only available through the IAC's certification process, not through any schools of coaching. That process involves passing an exam (Step 1) and achieving satisfactory demonstration of incorporating the 9 Masteries in two taped coaching sessions that are scored by our trained Certifiers (Step 2). One can pass at the Certified Coach or the Master Certified Coach level. The IAC licenses schools to train coaches using the Masteries, which are the registered property of the IAC.
Hello everybody, I would like to add something to your conversation. At the IAC I am working with licensees. Before somebody can purchase a license, they provide some information about themselves. There is a formal interview process as a next step in which their career, teaching and coaching experience is being rated. We also want to make sure we understand the approach of coaching our licensees follow. The licensee application is then brought up in our licensee committee where each application is thouroughly discussed. We want to know how our licensees ensure their personal growth and want them to walk down the certification path on their own. Licensees can accomplish different levels as it is the case for each IAC member. Each licensee is required to accomplish the pracitioner level within a certain time. This is what we from the IAC and our licensees stand for:
"Coaching is a transformative process for personal and professional awareness, discovery and growth".
I've reviewed the latest two international schools (Vortex in Spanish) and (Alzaia in Italian). My grasp of Italian and Spanish is very rudimentary, but from what I could tell the Italian school continuously uses terms like coaching, consulting and counseling as if they are equivalents. They mostly focus on NLP. Maybe I just missed something in translation, but I'm not sure how the vision of IAC and this Italian school match up. Vortex at least seems to emphasize the coach role more prominently, but the content connection between them and the IAC mission seems tenuous. Of course, this again could be my limited understanding of written Spanish.
What this brings up for me is whether licensing these schools really furthers the mission of the IAC or threatens the credibility of the IAC. This isn't a criticism of either the IAC or either of the schools. I understand the licensing process as explained by Uta and Susan, but I'm uncertain as to whether this is really a benefit to the membership of the IAC and the coaching discipline.
Thank you for the feedback, Rey. Some of our licensees are in related fields, which would include NLP. We also don't, as the ICF does, approve programs based on their philosophy or against a set of courses. We do monitor their understanding and use of the Masteries as part of a teaching approach. When we changes the organization's name from International Association of Coaches to International Association of Coaching, it was in recognition that coaching mastery might be applicable in a variety of approaches and related fields. An excellent example of this would be Bob and Megan Tschannen-Moran's Evocative Coaching, which is an approach to excellence in teaching based on utilization of the Masteries.

Good southern fried chicken in South Bay or Peninsula?
I have been craving good southern style fried chicken lately. I looked through past threads and found recommendations in SF or East Bay, plus one for Lil' Biscuit House in San Mateo and Ma Pinkie's which is closed.
Are there any good places other than Lil' Biscuit House that I can try closer to the South Bay? I am looking specifically for breaded fried chicken. I love Korean style fried chicken too but my mouth is watering thinking about crispy batter fused with skin...
Thanks so much!

Thanks for the recommendations, guys! I will definitely check out Bayonne.
Does Piccadilly Catering have a restaurant? I saw the menu for the Sunday Brunch but everything else seems to be for event catering. That brunch sure sounds enticing though. :)

If you don't know what a tuti is, watch "EVOLUTION" first:
A few notes about the movie:
1) The file size on the left is the size of a preloader. (The actual size of the movie is about 720k)
2) If you have a computer that is less then PII 500MHz or equivalent, you'll probably need to change the Movie Size and Quality. The MENU is in the top left corner of the Tuti TV screen.
Please review the movie constructively. Thank you and have a nice day :)
Tuti TV Team
This was done really well with some great dialogue, plot and animation.
The plot was a little odd to start off with but as it progressed the dialogue really helped it to work with some clever conversations and observations.
The Artwork was exceptional with some nice detail and rounded off colours, using penis's while a little odd at first starts to feel quite at one in the flash after the first minute.
Sound was good and the voices suited their characters, music was a little non-existent but as a build up episode it doesn't have much of a place in the flash.
Overall this was enjoyable, very funny and witty.
umm cool
it was pretty cool gets kinda hard after the like 8th round though and god the chick that holds up the sign just disturbing try making a game without having them be well you know what i mean
Not as funny as the first
The Animatino was good . The graphics were good. The humor was ok. I was hoping to see the whole fight in this one. Guess I'll have to wait. I wish there was more fighting in this esp.
Another funny Tuti submission
I laughed at a few moments. I like the voices of the announcers, and I thought it was very funny that the huge penis was black! (It's one of those stereotypes that African-Americans don't seem to mind! J/K)
Can't wait to see how the fight will end!
