Remember Me
Hi everyone,
This week finds us all in the middle of the busiest period of Opti sailing for the year with multiple regattas being attended by Wakatere sailors in NZ and abroad. This update is a bit longer than usual but there is a lot of information I need you to be aware of, some fantastic results by Wakatere sailors and a call to action for as many volunteers as possible over the next couple of months.
North Islands and NZ Ranking
The most important of the recent regattas was for our Open sailors who attended the NI's in Taupo over three days, because it was also a NZ ranking regatta. The whole squad performed really well in some testing condition and the three day format is a great test of a sailor's fitness and stamina.
For those that don't understand the ranking system, a series of four regattas make up the NZ Opti Ranking and it's the goal of nearly every Open fleet sailor to improve their ranking through the year and season on season. The regattas are the Opti North Island Champs, the Auckland Champs (at Wakatere in Jan); the Interislander (Picton) and the Opti Nationals (Timaru this year). The reward for top placing is selection into the squads that attend overseas regattas such as the Worlds (Italy next year), Europeans ( Hungary) Asian Champs ( Japan) and the Nth American Champs ( Bermuda).
The regattas are challenging events for any Optimist sailor with four races a day on full length courses that run in nearly all conditions and Taupo was no different. The first day was relatively light with wind between 8 and 12 knots and very shifty as always. Saturday and Sunday turned cold with strong cold SW winds and rain whipping up short seas and providing a real test of skill. We also had Green feet racing on Saturday and Sunday and Rachel Willison and Lewis Dol should be congratulated for getting out there and giving it a go. We look forward to seeing both of you progress in Green fleet this year.
On all three days we saw our Wakatere sailors perform to the highest level with nearly everyone achieving personal milestones of some sort. Day 1 was all about Greta Stewart and Jono Weston and their top 5 placing in multiple races. This year a system was introduced where the top 5 sailors received a bib with their regatta placing on it, similar to the Olympics. The whole team was hugely proud to see Jono W achieve the 5th place bib after day one. Sadly Harry Milne and Josh Bull were sick for Day 1 with Josh never really recovering all weekend.
As the wind increased so did the influence of experience in the fleet and some of our more seasoned sailors started to make more progress to the front with top 20 results from Xanthe Copeland, Kate Stewart and Harry Milne (who battled sickness all weekend and still placed some fantastic results) Henry Haslett (1st in race 4) and Airi Kawana including a 3rd race placing from Xanthe. However Jono W was in the 'zone' all weekend and finished in a superb final 5th place overall, an improvement of 70 places from this same regatta last year ! (and he now holds that bib until January at Wakatere) from Mr. Consistent Airi in 13th, Henry in 23rd, followed by Kate, Greta and Xanthe in 26th, 29th and 33rd. However the whole squad should be congratulated for some superb efforts in one of toughest regattas of the year and remember… the next one is on our home turf!

Jono in action at Taupo
Year 7 & 8 Regatta last week
This schools team event held annually at Kohimarama is great fun and a fantastic opportunity to represent your school in sailing. Once again our sailors showed their class to place 1st (Greta), 2nd (Xanthe) and 3rd (Henry) overall in a fleet of 59. Our local school, Belmont Intermediate took the Schools Trophy for the first time ever, with a Team of Jono Nicholas, James Grover Grey ( out of retirement), Harry Milne, Jono Weston and Finn Buckeridge. Well done to all those who took part and wasn't the warm weather a pleasant change from the cold of Taupo!

Sir Peter Blake Regatta
The next important regatta on the calendar is this weekend. SPB is a huge event for centreboard sailing in the Auckland region and is thought to be one of the largest regattas in the southern hemisphere with likely attendee numbers at over 450. Due to this we need to make sure our logistics and planning are in well in order so everyone sailing can perform to their best. I was questioned a number of times over the weekend about who should be attending this regatta, and while this is obviously a decision for each parent and sailor I thought I would offer the advice I gave to so many yesterday-
Regattas are a huge amount of fun and an important step for the development of any Optimist sailor. My expectation is that every Open fleet sailor and every member of the Race group who is available should be attending SPB. For other Green fleet or Sunday Morning sailors, if you have competed in at least one Sunday afternoon Green fleet race at Wakatere then you will be fine at SPB. If you haven't, then target the Wakatere Junior Regatta on December the 15th as your first regatta instead. (Reminder – there will be no Race group coaching at the club this Sunday 2nd Dec, only C1 and C2 groups)
The trailer and the 2 X WBC tiller steer RIBs for Green fleet support, safety and coaching will be available for transit from Thursday evening however we need people to volunteer for the following this weekend:
The Optimist trailer is available and a place can be booked on the WBC website with priority given to Green fleet sailors. If using the trailer please ensure you have your own tie down straps and any additional padding you require. The trailer will be in the club compound and will be available for loading from Thursday evening from 5pm.
Opti trailer booking- Sir Peter Blake Any Open fleet sailors who need assistance to attend the regatta please contact me separately.
We will have a Wakatere Base Camp at the regatta which will be a blue nylon dome shaped gazebo with a Wakatere banner outside with space for storing sailing gear and getting some shade from the elements. This will be on the grass to the left of the club when looking at the beach.
We will run a Wakatere race briefing here for all sailors with head coach Finn Drummond.
8:45 on Saturday
9:30 on Sunday
There will be a separate Green fleet briefing straight afterwards.
We also strongly recommend people make the effort to get the boat to Torbay on Friday evening, register and get your race pack. Also make sure your turn up early on Saturday morning as parking can be difficult and you don't want to be late on the water. See the event layout before you get there
Peter Blake Regatta official website
Any other questions or issues with attending the regatta please get in contact early this week.
Since you have been involved in sailing Optimists at Wakatere you will have heard everyone from the club constantly remind you of the requirement to volunteer and join in and we all appreciate everyone efforts to date. However with our 'away regatta program' plus the Wakatere Junior Regatta and the Opti Auckland Champs (NZ Ranking Regatta) we will need more help than ever.
Over the next few days I will be sending follow up emails requesting people join teams for on-the-water activities and off-the-water activities for both of those key WBC events- Wakatere Junior Regatta Dec 15
Opti Auckland Champs Jan 26 -28
Please be ready to share some time to make sure our club maintains the high standard of event management set by our predecessors.
And finally best of luck to Jono Weston, Jono Nicholas, Xanthe Copeland and others attending the regatta in Noumea next week as part of the development squad. Don't come back too sunburnt!
The Sunday morning program at WBC is going from strength to strength under the careful leadership of Ed Crook, Mike Dol and a range of wonderful volunteer parent coaches.
After several fully booked Learn to sail courses held recently, a number of boats have changed owners, and their keen skippers are out on the water, with an incredible 79 sailors in this program. This is in addition to the 20 or so sailors in the Open coaching group.
Here is a link to some recent photos of the action ( no facebook login is required)...
Many of these Sunday AM sailors should be signing up to the Sir Peter Blake Regatta held at Torday on 1-2 December. This regatta is a lifetime experience, which recognises what Sir Peter Blake achieved and stood for. Sign up as soon as possible at http://www.blakeregatta.co.nz/ and find out about the easy ways to get to the regatta and have support on the water this weekend.
Airi leading race 7
Henry leading race 3
Below 1: Robbie leading race 7 and Below 2: Kate wins race 5
The Stack Winter Champs at Murrays Bay is the first "must do" regatta of the season for any Opti sailors who are planning to hit the Auckland regatta circuit. It is renowned for some weather events, and this year was no exception, with a storm coming through on Saturday. Fortunately, MBSC called the day off early, so the sailors could make alternative plans for their day.
WBC had 18 sailors in the Open Opti fleet, which was ¼ of the whole fleet, and they had some real success over the weekend with Airi, Kate and Henry all winning races and Robbie McCutcheon leading a race. Xanthe Copeland was the top finisher in 9th, with 6 WBC sailors in the top 20. Jono Nicholas and Jono Weston were 2nd and 3rd 12 year olds. It was great to see Jess Berry back on the water.
There has been some big jumps in results from last year for many of our Open Opti sailors, so it looks like it will be a fun season ahead, especially with the support of the Open group coach Charlie Baillie Strong. If you are new to the Opti, or Opti racing then make sure you try to get along to Opening day this weekend for an afternoon race, or join the fun at the next Opti regattas – it doesn't matter how you go as long as you are making some friends and learning along the way.
Full results at http://www.murraysbay.org/uploads/1213%20season/winchamps/Course%20B.htm
The final day of the Auckland Opti Winter series was completed in perfect conditions at KYC on September 22. Up to 62 sailors competed in a series of 31 races.
Well done to Jono Weston who ended up 2nd behind James Wilson. Xanthe Copeland was 5th and Kate Stewart ended up 6th. A number of WBC sailors have learnt a great deal over winter by sailing in this series, which was run as a joint effort between Kohi, Murrays Bay and Wakatere. We hope it will run again next winter.
A range of prizes were given out on the final day by Yachting NZ CEO, David Abercrombie.

The 2012/2013 season has started! Yes, 80 boats and boards hit Lake Pupuke for the annual Ice Breaker regatta, run by MBSC. No ice was broken, the temperature and winds were moderate. 19 of the 80 boats across all of the fleets on the day were from WBC, so well done. Franceso Kayvouz showed the benefits of sailing during winter to come in 3rd in the Green fleet, whilst Kate Stewart (pictured) showed some of the experience gained from her recent trip to China and sailed a great day to come in 2nd behind James Wilson from MBSC who is setting himself up as the guy to beat this season. It was great to see Airi Kawana back on the water and comfortably in the top 10, and Jono Weston on his heels in 8th.

The most impressive part of Tuesday night's 88-51 win over Arkansas-Pine Bluff wasn't necessarily the points Creighton scored or the defense the Bluejays played.
Instead, it was the take-care-of-business approach Creighton displayed against an opponent that could have been easy to overlook.
"I think maturity is the word I'd use to describe it," Creighton forward Ethan Wragge said. "Just because it was Arkansas-Pine Bluff, we didn't overlook them. We went out there and executed what we wanted to do."
The Golden Lions arrived in Omaha having played their previous nine games away from home. They had lost seven straight games, playing teams such as Texas A&M, Oklahoma State and Oregon State.
Couple that with Creighton's past history with the Golden Lions — it had won the four previous meetings by an average of 31 points — and the fact that Bluejays were playing for the first time in nine days, and this one could have been one for the going-through-the-motions file.
Instead, Creighton built a big lead early in the game that drew 16,303 to the CenturyLink Center, led by 22 points at halftime, survived some cold shooting to start the second half and poured it on at the end.
"We have a good group of guys that are really level-headed," guard Avery Dingman said. "We're locked in and we realize that it's just one step at a time. We realize that you can't take anything for granted.
"We've had eight days off and we knew we had to get it going again. I feel like we played really well for nearly 40 minutes."
In winning its third straight game in blowout fashion, Creighton improved to 8-2 with a difficult game against California coming up Sunday. That could have been another reason to not devote 100 percent focus on the overmatched Golden Lions, but the Bluejays refused to fall into that trap.
Creighton coach Greg McDermott had been banging home the point in the practices leading up to the game that the Bluejays needed to be focused on the task at hand.
"I was concerned because Pine Bluff had played stretches of really good basketball," he said. "And I was concerned that they were different in that they were going to play zone the whole time.
"Sometimes you come out against a zone and you can't make a shot and it becomes a bit of a grind. Plus, every coach is concerned about the first game after finals."
Whether the players aced all of their exams is a matter between them and their professors, but they certainly received high marks for their start against the Golden Eagles.
Creighton was ahead by 10 points before the game was five minutes old and held a 28-9 advantage with 8:59 left in the first half. The Bluejays were aggressive in attacking Arkansas-Pine Bluffs' 2-3 zone with some crisp ball movement that produced four 3-point baskets and seven free throws in the first 11 minutes.
"We had worked on it a lot in practice because they had played pretty much zone every game," said Doug McDermott, who led Creighton with 25 points and nine rebounds. "We had a couple of turnovers that we have to clean up, but they've turned over other teams on their schedule a lot more than they did us tonight."
The Golden Lions had been forcing an average of 18 turnovers per game but got just 10 against the Bluejays. Doug McDermott had four of those and point guard Devin Brooks three.
"One of the things we were kind of keying on was not have those dumb passes over the top," Wragge said.
With McDermott getting 14 of his points in the first half and Wragge making 3 of his 4 3-point shots in a 12-point night, Creighton blew out to a 44-22 lead. Arkansas-Pine Bluff did cut its deficit to 16 on two occasions in the second half, and might have been able to get even closer had it been able to take advantage of the Bluejays' cold shooting.
Creighton missed 13 of its first 14 field-goal attempts to open the half, with its lone basket coming from Doug McDermott with 12:42 to play. The Golden Lions were still within 17 points before Creighton went on a 19-6 run over a span of 5� minutes that pushed its lead to 76-46.
Six players scored in the spurt, and the once-frigid Bluejays made 14 of their final 18 shots to seal their victory.
"Our ball movement against the zone was pretty good early and pretty good late, and it was suspect in the middle of the game," Greg McDermott said. "But I thought we were active and got good play off our bench.
"And on a night when we didn't shoot it particularly well from the 3-point line, we still managed to score almost 90 points."
The Bluejays made just 10 of 30 3-point attempts but did finish the game shooting 48.2 percent overall. They also held a 40-24 edge in rebounding, converted 14 turnovers into 23 points and finished with a 39-8 edge in bench scoring.
Will Artino (10 points), Devin Brooks (eight) and Dingman (seven) were the most productive reserves. Arkansas-Pine Bluff (2-8) got 22 points from Tevin Hammond, but no other Golden Lion reached double figures.
"To get through this one and get the win," Greg McDermott said, "was really important."

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. -- Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin told state business leaders Wednesday he was continuing to work to bring an ethane cracker plant to the state, saying he believes the state still has a good chance to attract one.
"We are working every day to make that happen, and I am convinced it will happen," Tomblin said.
Tomblin was the keynote speaker during the opening day of the state Chamber of Commerce's annual Business Summit, taking place Wednesday through Friday at The Greenbrier.
See more coverage of the Business Summit, including live updates
Tomblin said the development of the natural gas industry, including gas produced from the Marcellus and Utica shales, along with the processing of their associated liquids like ethane and propane, still has "enormous potential" for the state.
"I believe the abundance of these resources gives us not only a low-cost energy source, but it gives us an opportunity to re-invigorate manufacturing in our state," he said. "We are working hard to develop the infrastructure that will support an entire industry for generations to come."
Tomblin said the state has been a leader in enacting "reasonable and responsible" rules designed to spur growth in the industry, but he tempered that remark with a word of caution for the industry.
He said if the state is willing to partner with the industry to extract natural gas, the industry must be willing to partner with the state to develop jobs within West Virginia's borders.
"We are not content to simply allow the resources of this state to be piped somewhere else to create manufacturing jobs," Tomblin said.

Clarence Charles "Ducky" Nash (December 7, 1904 – February 20, 1985) was an American voice actor, best known for providing the voice of Donald Duck for the Walt Disney Studios. He was born in the rural community of Watonga, Oklahoma, and a street in that town is named in his honor. He was also the original voice for Tom in Tom and Jerry.
Beginning his career[edit]
Nash made a name for himself in the late 1920s as an impressionist for KHJ, a Los Angeles radio station, on their show, The Merrymakers. He later was employed by the Adohr Milk Company for publicity purposes. Dubbed "Whistling Clarence, the Adohr Bird Man", Nash rode the streets with a team of miniature horses and gave treats to the children. In 1932, Nash happened by the Disney Studio with his team of horses, and decided to leave a copy of his Adohr publicity sheet with the receptionist. As it turns out, his name was recognized from a reprise appearance on The Merrymakers a few days previous, and Walt Disney himself had been impressed by Nash's vocal skills. He was asked to make an informal audition.
Donald Duck[edit]
Nash went through several of his voices, and Walt Disney happened by when Nash gave his impersonation of a family of ducks. Disney declared Nash perfect for the role of a talking duck in their upcoming animated short, The Wise Little Hen. The duck, of course, was Donald Duck, who Nash went on to voice for almost 50 years, in over 120 shorts and films. The last film to feature Nash's famous voice was 1983's Mickey's Christmas Carol, although he continued to provide Donald's voice for commercials, promos and other miscellaneous material until his death.
Donald Duck went on to become one of the most famous cartoon characters in the world, and a great part of this was due to Nash's distinctive voice. It may well be one of the most recognizable character voices in history. The voice is distinctive both for its ducklike quality and the fact that it is often very difficult for anybody to understand, especially when Donald flew into a rage (which happened fairly often). To keep Donald's voice consistent throughout the world, Nash voiced Donald's voice in all foreign languages the Disney shorts were translated to (with the aid of the phonetic alphabet), meaning Donald retained his same level of incoherency all across the globe. Mad magazine, in its 1950s comic-strip style satire of Disney characters, featured a "translation" of "Darnold" Duck's "quacky, incomprehensible" voice.
Other characters[edit]
In addition to Donald's voice, Nash also voiced Daisy Duck (in her earliest appearances, when she was little more than a female version of Donald), as well as Donald's nephews Huey, Dewey and Louie. He provided the voice for PJ in the cartoon 'Bellboy Donald' and for a bullfrog in Bambi. Nash also provided the meows of Figaro the kitten in a handful of shorts. He did some dog sounds in One Hundred and One Dalmatians and vocal sounds for the Bear in The Fox and the Hound.
Several Tom and Jerry cartoons directed by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera featured a third main character, a duckling named Little Quacker; Hanna and Barbera would adapt Little Quacker into Yakky Doodle for television. As with most Hanna-Barbera productions, these characters used celebrity impersonations, in these cases an impersonation of Clarence Nash's Donald Duck voice. In these cases, Red Coffee and Jimmy Weldon provided the respective voices, although because both were so similar to Nash's voice they are often mistakenly attributed to Nash.
Later years[edit]
When Disney shut down their shorts department in 1962, Nash continued to voice Donald in various projects over the next two decades, notably performing the song "Macho Duck" on the Mickey Mouse Disco album in the 1970s. (Contrary to popular belief, however, he did not perform the duck voice for Rick Dees' "Disco Duck".)
Nash's performance as Donald in Mickey's Christmas Carol made Donald the only character in the film to be voiced by his original actor.
In the late 1970s, Nash was known for often taking walks in the neighborhood around Fremont Elementary School in Glendale, California, entertaining children with his Donald Duck voice. As he aged, he found Donald's voice increasingly hard on his throat and so limited public performances to groups of children. During recording sessions, he had to take frequent breaks to avoid straining himself too much.
Nash appeared as himself in the 1941 movie The Reluctant Dragon, which shows how Disney movies are produced, and was a contestant on a 1954 episode of What's My Line.[2] Nash also appeared as himself in a 1956 episode of Disneyland named A Day in the Life of Donald Duck, in which he interacts with an animated Donald, who blames him for his speech problems: the two end up arguing mainly due to Donald's short temper.[3] He was also a guest on a 1976 episode of The Mike Douglas Show. The 1984 special Donald Duck's 50th Birthday showed several clips from Disney movies and Disneyland episodes, including some of the scenes with Nash and Donald from A Day in the Life of Donald Duck.[4]
His career at Disney was the subject of the premiere episode of Disney Family Album, a 1984 series of documentaries about behind-the-scenes personalities at the studio.
Nash died in February 1985 of leukemia at the age of 80 and was interred in the San Fernando Mission Cemetery in Mission Hills, Los Angeles, California. The tombstone of the grave he now shares with his wife Margaret Nash (who died in 1993) depicts a carving of Donald and Daisy Duck holding hands.[5]
After Nash's death, Donald's voice has been taken up by Disney animator Tony Anselmo, who was trained under Nash personally. Anselmo is also among the many voiceover artists to have voiced Huey, Dewey and Louie over the years. Later characters whose voices owe considerable credit to Nash's duck voice have been voiced by actors such as Jimmy Weldon, Frank Welker, Luba Goy and Red Coffee. The most prominent of these is Weldon's Yakky Doodle for Hanna-Barbera.

There already exists a large body of evidence on mood disorders informing clinicians about rational selection of treatments, appropriate long term monitoring, or assessment of prognosis and outcome among others. Such data need to be transferred to the clinical care. At the same time, more research is needed in areas such as treatment of refractory bipolar disorder or alleviating the cognitive impairment observed in some patients. Another priority is advocacy for availability of safe and inexpensive treatments especially in low- and middle-income countries. Finally, as a member of the Canadian, American, and European Colleges of Neuropsychopharmacology (CCNP, ACNP, and ECNP) as well as the International Group for Study of Lithium (IGSLi), I wish to promote closer cooperation of these groups as well as represent the Society interests.

Carrie Bearden, MD, PhD - United States of America
I have been actively involved in research on the pathophysiology of bipolar disorder for the past ten years. I have greatly enjoyed contributing to the Society as a member of the Editorial Board for Bipolar Disorders. For the past 3 years I have served as the journal's Field Editor for Cognitive Neuroscience, which has been a wonderful opportunity to further the growth and scientific excellence of the journal. In 2006 I was very fortunate to receive a Samuel Gershon Young Investigator award from the ISBD, and ever since then have greatly enjoyed attending and participating in the ISBD meetings, given the high quality of the scientific programs. I am honored to have the opportunity to actively contribute as a member of the ISBD Board of Councilors, so as to assist in the further development and growth of the Society. In particular I believe I can contribute to the ISBD mission by promoting international collaborations on intermediate traits (endophenotypes) associated with genetic vulnerability to bipolar illness. The field is moving towards ever-larger collaborative studies, and I believe the ISBD can play a critical role in fostering such collaborations.

I am honored to be elected for the ISBD council. As the coordinator of a leading mood disorders program focused on bioethics and genetics related projects, I believe that continuing with the compromise in education and investigation, the creation of new regional chapters and the promotion of international relationships is the key to constant progress of knowledge in the field of Bipolar disorder.

E. Timucin Oral, MD - Turkey
It is a great honor for me to be elected to the Board of Councilors of ISBD. I want to thank you on behalf of Society for Bipolar Disorders of Turkey and myself. This will give me the chance to develop the relationship not only between ISBD and Turkey but also Mediterranean, Eastern European and Middle Eastern countries as well. I hope the 5th Biennial Conference of the ISBD in Istanbul will be a good media opportunity.I have been working on both clinical and basic research projects on bipolar disorder for more than 20 years. I served as the president of Mood Disorders Section of Psychiatric Association in Turkey, chairman of mood disorders clinic and taught residents working on the subject. I hope my experience on these subjects will help me serving ISBD as a councilor.My goals during my term will be to: a) promote scientific and clinical collaboration between colleagues in neighboring countries, who are dedicated to bipolar disorder, b) present ISBD to the raising generation of bipolar disorder clinicians and researchers, and c) find easier ways to enhance the postgraduate education quality in some regional countries with such needs.
Council Member
Vivek Singh, MD - United States of America
It is an honor to be a nominated for the Board of Councilors of the International Society for Bipolar Disorders (ISBD) by Dr. Charles Bowden and Dr. Mauricio Tohen, who I have worked closely with for several years. I have been actively involved in the research and treatment of patients with bipolar illness, as well training the next generation of clinicians in the assessment and treatment of bipolar disorders for the past 10 years. We have made significant advances in our understanding of the phenomenology of bipolar disorders in the past decade. However, we continue this has not translated into more effective treatments or better outcomes for our patients.I have been Editor-in-Chief of the ISBD Global Newsletter for the past year and have been contributing to the newsletter through literature reviews for several years. I have also been a member of the ISBD Training & Education Committee for several years. My involvement in these roles has made me aware of the different components of the organization which will help me be effective if elected to the ISBD Board of Councilors. I am committed to the mission of the ISBD and will employ my time and energy to further that mission. My efforts will be devoted to creating an awareness of the missions of the society, which will expand the society's reach as well as help propagate its mission within both the provider as well as the consumer communities. I will also work to enhance the opportunities for training of clinicians and researchers with an interest in bipolar disorder through scholarship grants, travel grants and fellowships.
Council Member
Sergio Strejilevich, MD - Argentina
I am honored and delighted to serve on the Board of Councilors of the International Society for Bipolar Disorders (ISBD). I am currently leading an independent research team in Buenos Aires, Argentina. From this perspective we can appreciate the support of a society like the ISBD to help us with promoting, divulgating, and sharing the scientific efforts made in peripheral sites as ours.I have been a very committed member of the ISBD since its foundation. I hope that I can help make ISBD more accessible within South America, a continent where mental illnesses reached, according to the WHO, the status of a pandemic.
Recently, the ISBD has promoted taskforces which developed critical documents on diagnosis, nomenclature and treatment-safety of bipolar disorders. I think one of the current challenges of the Board of Councilors is to encourage the development of newer guides and enhance the accessibility, dissemination and compliance of the already existing ones.One of our next challenges is to generate greater awareness on the health significance of bipolar disorders. In the next few years, it will become necessary to test prevention models aimed to reduce the impact of these disorders. In order to fulfill these challenges, it will be essential to have the political and technical support of our society.Finally, our society will only be as strong as the strength of our relationship with people affected by bipolar disorders. Thus, one of my great interests in becoming part of the Board of Councilors is to promote such a partnership.
Council Member
Pichet Udomratn, MD - Thailand
As a second term ISBD Board of Councilors member, I will continue to promote awareness about ISBD among Asian psychiatrists and mental health professionals, especially those who have special interest in bipolar disorder. I will continue to foster research in bipolar disorder. I will survey bipolar depression among Asian countries. This research project will also serve as a role model for international collaboration among Asian psychiatrists. In terms of promoting awareness of this condition in Asian society at large, I will encourage ISBD to work with the Asian Network of Bipolar Disorder (ANBD) for printing pamphlets for public in many Asian languages. All of these activities should help improve the quality of life for those with bipolar disorder and their significant others.I will launch the first South East Asian Bipolar Forum (SEABiF) meeting during the WPA Regional Meeting in Bali, Indonesia during 13-15 September 2012.We will also announce for the ISBD meeting in Seoul in 2014 at our forum meeting. The members of SEABiF are from 5 countries: Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and the Philippines. We hope that members from other countries such as Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos will join us later.

The Land beyond the Mists — 2009
Essays on Identity and Authority in Precolonial Congo and Rwanda
By David Newbury
Foreword by Jan Vansina
"This collection is a fitting survey of a career dedicated to understanding the history of a place that came to dominate the world's attention for a short period and the drifted back under the radar. The Land Beyond the Mists showcases some of the most innovative work in the field of African History in essays that explore the history of Rwanda, most importantly is western marches, and other pre-twentieth states of the Great Lakes region."
Gregory Maddox — author of Custodians of the Land and In Search of a Nation
"The Land beyond the Mists is far more than a 'must read' for everyone interested in the history of Central Africa. It powerfully demonstrates the achievements of Africanist historiography over the last four decades and represents historical work at its best: empirically based, methodologically sophisticated, locally informed, broadly inclusive."
African Studies Review
"The Land Beyond the Mists serves as a fitting testament to a distinguished career of scholarship devoted to unearthing overlooked perspectives into the deep past of an often neglected area of the continent."
Journal of African History
The horrific tragedies of Central Africa in the 1990s riveted the attention of the world. But these crises did not occur in a historical vacuum. By peering through the mists of the past, the case studies presented in The Land Beyond the Mists illustrate the significant advances to have taken place since decolonization in our understanding of the pre-colonial histories of Rwanda, Burundi, and eastern Congo.
Based on both oral and written sources, these essays are important both for their methods—viewing history from the perspective of local actors—and for their conclusions, which seriously challenge colonial myths about the area.
David Newbury is the Gwendolen Carter Professor of African Studies at Smith College. His books include Kings and Clans: A Social History of the Lake Kivu Rift Valley, African Historiographies: What History for Which Africa?, and Paths to the Past: Essays in Honor of Jan Vansina.

Education and Training Get the training you need to maximize the performance of your industrial equipment.
Stiles Education provides machine-specific training through a series of scheduled sessions at our regional training facilities or at your manufacturing site. In addition, Stiles continues to generate a series of online educational resources in our solutions section of this website.
The best tools in the best hands have long distinguished the leaders in wood craftsmanship and construction. It was true in the 1800s, it was true when Stiles Machinery Inc. was launched in 1965 and it remains true today. That's why, in 1990, we founded Stiles Education (SE): to put the industry's best tools in the most competent hands by providing the most comprehensive education. A 40+ course curriculum spans an introduction to panel processing through advanced programming and troubleshooting for computer numeric controls--all taught by instructors with over 150 years of combined experience in the wood industry.
20+ years of training service.
In May 1990, Stiles Education launched our first class on edgebander operation with a total of six students enrolled. Since then, we have trained over 30,000 alumni through a variety of course programs that supports each of our products. Many of our students have since taken additional classes to help build their expertise and increase their company's ability to stay competitive in this changing industry.
Though our Stiles Education programs are known as the education and training center of the wood working industry, we have expanded our curriculum to include specialized courses in plastics, composites and other advanced materials.
A company's greatest asset is its personnel and our goal is to continue expanding our programs and specializations to keep companies on the cutting edge of knowledge and expertise.
A Stiles Education is a hands-on education that builds skills quickly.
Stiles Education has more than 30 PC workstations for learning CAD software and CNC programming, three classrooms featuring state-of-the-art projection systems, and a complete equipment demonstration area. As a Stiles Education student you'll "learn by doing," the most effective type of training for developing an intimate understanding of a tool's capabilities.
If you require custom education solutions and consulting, they're available. Call SE to provide diagnostic services, employee development and programs designed for your specific training needs.
In addition to classroom instructor-led education, Stiles Education offers e-learning. Accelerate your equipment productivity with our computer-based courses.

Really fresh, this baby is a little bit over 1 month old, so I got some high expectations. Thanks for the freshness date!! Can believe how rare this is in US.
Golden amber color with a thick two finger head with good retention and leaving lots of laces.
Delicious aroma of grapefruit, oranges, pineapples, caramel, resin and slightly toasted sweet malt.
Flavor of American spicy yeast, grapefruit and orange-lemon citrusy, passion fruit juice blended with its seeds, toasted malts, caramel, earth, soap, minerals and faint wood. Relatively low on pine.
Quite dry and bitter aftertaste, though its 65 IBUs behaves quite elegantly, still it made me sneeze.
Light body with good carbonation. Alcohol of 6.5% abv is well hidden.
This was a positive surprise, a fine, easy to drink and balanced IPA. Initially it is not complex, but then start to reveal its flavors.

3.73/5 rDev -0.8%
look: 3.75 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.75
12oz bottle in a stemmed tulip glass. 3 weeks 'old'.
A- Dulled brass color with some red-orange hues. The pure white colored head rises just more than a finger. the head never quite goes away thanks to abundant tiny bubble carbonation. Just a bit of lacing. Not beautiful, but fresh looking.
S- Lots of citrus hops, mostly grapefruit to me. I get some green onion and dry cracker malts.
T- Citrus hops like red grapefruit. There's more malt flavor here than in the aroma.
M- Despite the bubbles, the carbonation is lacking. Not much hop bite, more of a long dry hop finish after a short tang.
O- This is a unique IPA, clearly different. I like the name "IPA".

a clean and crisp IPA, was served too cold and the room was cold, so was hard to pull the scent from it. However, it was drinkable but not brassy. The color was amber, like golden wheat. There was a nice bitterness but not like I'd find in a Stone or even a Goose Island. however, I'd have it again.

3.7/5 rDev -1.6%
look: 3.75 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.5
Bottle into a tulip glass, poured clear and honey golden colour, fair bit of carbonation with a generous white fluffy head, immediate whiffs of hops. Shows good retention and lacing. Bottles (11/15/2013) so about 3 months old.
S - lots of strong citrus notes, ruby grapefruit, lemon and orange, floral tones, slightly sweet with all the springtime aromas but has some bready malt also to back it up and its quite enticing.
T - fruity. Lots of grapefruit! orange marmalade, strawberries, concentrated fruit though, like a jam or jelly. Has some citrus rind, pleasant bitterness, bready malts with just a slightest hint of caramel. Subtle sweet toastiness. Finish is fruity and floral, not very dry until the very end where there is a bit of hoppy bitterness. All round pretty good, but a little too reliant on the grapefruit and florals for me.
M - pleasant, moderate body, sessionable, lots of creamy scrubbing carbonation, easily quenching with a coating citrus hoppiness. Body doesn't have a bit alcohol heat, but is a more hefty beer that holds its own with a good balance. It comes across thin initially when it is just the lighter fruity/floral hops and the real 'meat' of the beer takes time to develop on the palate.
A good IPA that is worth a try. See the caveat in the mouthfeel section, there are some improvements to be made that would make this a more rounded and complex IPA, it struck me as overly reliant on Cascade but the overall flavour and feel of the beer and quite solid.

Redwood Bark Is an orchid potting mix that contains redwood bark safe to use with orchids? I seem to remember reading that baskets made out of redwood secrete some sort of substance that is toxic to orchids. However, the only orchid mix I can find lists redwood bark as a minor ingredient. Is this okay to use? — Deborah Dillon
Redwood bark, either as a fiber or as chunks, has long been an optional component of fir-bark-based potting media. It has been used by itself with some success, as well. It was used in fir-bark mixes to lower pH, to help with moisture retention, to reduce some soil-borne pests and, some thought, to increase the life of the mix. It was also thought to discourage snow mold in pots. Redwood baskets were also rather commonly used on the west coast until redwood became rare. — Ned Nash

First Apple, now Google hit with kids' app lawsuit

They were able to rack up the charges without entering a password.

13+ Things TV Chefs Won't Tell You
We went behind the scenes to hear from your favorite chefs on TV to learn their dirtiest kitchen secrets. Goodness, greatness, great balls of fire!
By Michelle Crouch from Reader's Digest MagazineLoading
1. Many TV chefs don't write or develop their own recipes.
Some don't have time. Other are more focused on being on TV than on cooking, so they would rather pay someone else. And a few'Ķ
2. If you want the food you make to look as pretty as mine, don't fill the plate.
Putting something small on a bigger plate always looks better, especially if you stack the foods or lay them against each…
3. When a chef forgets to say something important, we have to do what's called a voice-over.
That's when you're watching and all of a sudden,
you don't see the chef's face. Instead, you see a close-up of the bowl'Ķ
4. Obviously, we're not all going to sit around twiddling our thumbs waiting for a roast or a lasagna to cook.
So there are people in a
second kitchen behind the scenes cooking a bunch of versions of the same
recipe so it will be ready…
5. Sometimes, the dishes we taste on are stone cold because of a swap-out.
So we may be saying, "Mmm," but really it tastes awful. We
just smile and stomach…
6. Sure, we burn things.
When that happens, we just make sure to pick it
up with the charred side away from the camera, and we never flip it…
7. Sorry, but we are not going to you how bad a recipe is for you.
more chefs are acknowledging that we have a responsibility to people's
health, you're never going to see calorie'Ķ
8. Here's how to enhance just about any dish: Add some acidity.
from fresh citrus juice or vinegar, acidity wakes up the palate and
makes food jump and…
9. Before I host a cooking segment, I go through every step of the recipe with the art director, prop stylist, and food stylist.
ensure I have every tool I need, they mise en place-or prepare and
measure out-every ingredient, and they make…
10. Please don't follow my recipes to the letter.
A recipe should be a
loose map to guide you, but since no two ingredients are exactly the
same, you should be…
11. When I say something should be brown, I mean brown—not tan.
searing a piece of fish or baking bread, home cooks generally underbake
food. Really yummy, magical things happen…
12. A garnish can make anything look better.
Go ahead and throw some
chopped fresh greens or herbs on top. They smell nice, create a
beautiful contrast in color, and give…
13. In the restaurant, I cook in a very methodical way; I use something, and then I clean it rights away.
But in competitions like Hell's
Kitchen or Master Chef, the kitchens get destroyed. Afterward, there are
dozens and dozens…
14. We make mistakes, lots of them.
Towels catch on fire. Food gets dropped on the floor. We get cut and burned. One chef actually had the words "All Clad"'Ķ
15. The truth is, I have no clue what brand of ketchup or baking powder I'm using.
That's because we have a graphic artist whose whole job is to "Greek" brand name products by creating fake names and new'Ķ
16. Yes, the cooking and food we make on TV is real.
Enough said.
17. Want to know the hardest thing to do? Go on a morning show.
Once on the Today Show, it was Halloween. I was trying to talk to Matt Lauer, and he's dressed as Luke Skywalker. I'm in'Ķ
18. This job is harder than it looks.
Besides just cooking, you have to describe your method step-by-step, talk about different ingredients, and make eye contact with…
19. What kind of spoon did I use? The one they handed to me.
Only people like Rachael Ray who have their own line get to use specific products and tools.

20. We're cooking all this amazing food on TV, caviars and truffles and such,
but when we take a break for the most part what we're eating–unfortunately–is very standard catered food like baked chicken'Ķ
21. No, that's not my real house or kitchen.
In most cases, I'm cooking on a set in New York City or Los Angeles that gets packed up when we're done filming the season'Ķ
22. If a TV chef is going to do a recipe that calls for a pound of asparagus, we'll have four pounds on the set, just in case of retakes or swapouts.
If there are four recipes per show, and you tape four shows a day, you wind up with a tremendous amount of food. Most of the…
23. Most chefs, especially big names, are not involved at all in deciding what they're cooking if they're invited to do a short on a morning show.
They often don't even know what they're making until they
get there.

24. I once had a chocolate malt shake shoot out of the blender and all over me.
The crew thought it was the funniest thing in the world. Because of
continuity, my wardrobe had to stay the same, so I had to…
25. Even though my show is on every week, the whole season was probably shot in just a few days or weeks many months earlier.
So we're always
looking for pumpkins in February and doing Christmas cooking in June…
26.The first thing I ever cooked on camera was a minestrone soup.
I made the
whole soup and didn't realize until the end that I forgot to add one of
the vegetables and the beans. That meant…

Providence, RI - The Providence Bruins defeated the Lowell Devils 3-0 Friday evening at the Dunkin' Donuts Center. The P-Bruins got their goals from Martin St. Pierre, Ned Lukacevic and Mikko Lehtonen. Tuukka Rask made 20 saves in net picking up his second shutout of the season.

He sent it to the other end of the ice for St. Pierre who scored his eighth goal of the season. The P-Bruins led 1-0 going into the first intermission. Providence went ahead 2-0 at the 11:21 mark of the second period. Wacey Rabbit sent the puck out of his own end to Lukacevic breaking down the right wing. From the right face off circle Lukacevic blasted the puck past Devils goaltender Jeff Frazee and into the net for his first goal of the season. Providence went into the second intermission leading 2-0. In the third period, the P-Bruins added an insurance goal at the 14:48 mark. Brad Marchand skated the puck from behind the net up the boards to Matt Marquardt, who dropped it off for Lehtonen. He skated into the slot and tallied his fifth goal of the season. The P-Bruins went on to shutout the Devils 3-0. Rask stopped all 20 shots he faced for the P-Bruins, while Frazee made 34 saves for the Devils. The P-Bruins were 1-for-7 on the power play and 5-for-5 on the penalty kill.

Top iPhone 4 and 4S extended battery cases
We have an ongoing list of top tough iPhone 4 and 4S cases, but a lot of folks have requested a roundup of top battery cases for extending your iPhone's battery life, so here it is.
A few notes: While you should be able to go a day without recharging your iPhone 4 or 4S, some people use their phones more than others--or use battery-intensive applications such as video--and need more juice than what's offered with the iPhone's internal battery. Most, but not all, of the cases in this roundup are designed to double the battery life … Read more

Macon-Bibb Elections Officially Postponed, No Date Set
MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) - The Macon-Bibb County Board of Elections made it official Friday: There will be no elections in July.
The board met less than half an hour behind closed doors before it made the decision, just days after the U.S. Department of Justice asked legislators to explain why the elections were being moved from November to July and being made non-partisan.
Candidates who planned on running in the July election will now have to re-qualify, but board members say they can get a refund of their qualifying fees if they wish.
No election date was set. Board members say they're waiting on a final decision from the DOJ.

Mazda CX-5 review
The Mazda CX-5, winner of our Best Crossover of 2013 award, is stylish, well-equipped and good to drive
Sponsored Links
Our current crossover champ blends sharp handling and top-notch quality with low running costs and family friendly practicality, seeing off rivals like the Ford Kuga, Kia Sportage and Volkswagen Tiguan.
The Mazda is also well equipped, while the two-wheel-drive diesel version has the sort of low CO2 emissions and strong fuel returns you'd normally expect from smaller family hatchbacks. It's attractively priced and packed with kit, too.
Stars of the show are Mazda's economical but powerful Skyactiv engines, which deliver the sort of low emissions and frugal fuel economy normally associated with a smaller family hatchback. The 2.2-litre Skyactiv diesel is offered in 148bhp and 173bhp guise, while there's also a 163bhp 2.0-litre petrol.
There's a choice of three trim levels - SE-L, SE-L Lux and Sport, with the later pair being particularly well equipped. The CX-5 comes with two or four-wheel drive.
Our choice: Mazda CX-5 2.2D (150) SE-L 2WD
Neat design and compact proportions give the CX-5 a sleeker, sportier look than its rivals. Still, tough body cladding and a raised ride height leave you in no doubt about the car's crossover status. The compact proportions are spot on and it doesn't look as old-fashioned as rivals like the Honda CR-V or Subaru Forester.
Climb aboard and you'll find it's solidly built and smartly designed. The dash is clearly laid out, material quality is easily
a match for the Honda's and the high-set driving position is spot-on. There's plenty of standard kit, too, including cruise and dual-zone climate control, plus Bluetooth. Sport models add luxuries like leather seat trim, keyless entry and a reversing camera.
The slick front-end looks smart and the sharp creases in the bonnet fit well with the shape of the grille. All versions get alloy wheels and body coloured bumpers, while the range-topping Sport adds 19-inch rims and powerful bi-xenon headlamps.
On the move, the Mazda really has the edge over the competition. For starters, its 148bhp 2.2-litre diesel is an effortless performer, while its six-speed gearbox has a slick, precise action.
The high driving position provides excellent all round visibility, while a wide range of adjustment ensures the driving position is perfect. The major controls are well-weighted and operate with a precision not usually found in an SUV. Sharp steering, decent grip and strong body control mean it's just as accomplished through a series of corners, while its supple ride and low noise levels take the sting out of long motorway journeys.
Yet this dynamic poise does not come at the expense of ride comfort, as the Mazda effortlessly soaks up bumps, while road and wind noise are well suppressed.
Four-wheel drive versions provide confidence boosting traction in slippery conditions and handle with even more sharpness, plus they're surprisingly capable off-road - although it can't match the Land Rover Freelander for go anywhere ability. The 2.2-litre diesel is an eager performer and the two-stage turbo ensures a smooth power delivery.
Refinement at idle and on the move is class leading and even the lower output diesel has more than enough performance on tap. Automatic versions have higher emissions but it's a smooth transmission and they're still cleaner than auto rivals.
Mazda has built a strong reputation for producing durable cars, so the CX-5 should provide trouble-free service. Better still, the brand finished an excellent fourth in the manufacturers chart of our Driver Power 2013 satisfaction survey, with top marks for reliability.
Adding to the appeal, Euro NCAP awarded the CX-5 a five-star crash test rating, and all versions get six airbags and stability control. The car also benefits from City Safe low-speed collision kit, which monitors the road ahead and automatically applies the brakes if it senses an imminent collision with the vehicle in front. The optional safety pack adds lane depature and blind spot warning.
With a 503-litre boot, the Mazda CX-5 is a slightly more practical proposition than the new Ford Kuga. Better still, the seats in the Mazda can be folded flat in one movement, liberating a healthy 1,620-litres of luggage space. Another neat feature is the 'Karakuri' parcel shelf that lifts out of the way when the tailgate is opened, making it easier to load items into the boot.
Despite its compact looks, the CX-5 is roomy inside. There's plenty of head and legroom in the rear, plus the cabin is packed with useful storage, including deep door bins, a number of cup-holders and a large glovebox.
Running Costs
Thanks to the Mazda's Skyactiv technology, the sprightly performance of the CX-5 doesn't come at the expense of economy and emissions. Even the 173bhp 2.2-litre diesel four-wheel-drive model emits only 136g/km and promises to return 54.3mpg. The entry-level front-drive variant reduces emissions to just 119g/km, which is lower than many family hatchbacks.
Better still, the Mazda is competitively priced, with the well-equipped SE-L versions undercutting many of its rivals. Adding to its appeal are strong residual figures, with most models holding onto around fifty percent of their value after three years. However Mazda does not offer the same long warranty as rivals like Kia and Hyundai, plus there's no pre-paid servicing packages.
Disqus - noscript
How come it gets 5 stars overall but the highest individual rating is 4.5 and the rest 4?
I want to like this car but the interior is a bit depressingly black. The short test drive that I took was impressive, though.
Worst designed interior in the world.
Its a throwback from beyond even the 1970s....and people pay money for this garbage?
Ford Kuga, Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V and even the Santa-Fe have better pricing, equipment, interiors and reliability than this "me too" offering.
More Homer Jayz Simpsonso troll garbage, that makes no sense.
He's just a super troll, knows nothing about cars - or anything come to think of it.
The interior is a bit monotone but is not as bad in real life as the pictures make it look. When compared with say a VW or BMW the interior looks deserving of some interior design award! I had a go in one while trying to pick my new car but was swayed more to a Merc just because I got more power and just as good consumption.
Li, k
luks cul
You can't please everyone all of the time. To me, the interior looks about the same as my '08 Passat -- modern and stylish. The Mazda even has one of those rotating selectors for the various functions just like the Audi.
It doesn't
You should re-look at the reliability of this car, massive problem with dumping diesel into the oil sump, resulting in a oil change 5 times in past year.

DAYTON, Tenn. — Early results from a survey seeking opinions on downtown Dayton improvements show many business owners and residents want more musical events, officials said.
Executive Director Anna Tromanhauser, with MainStreet Dayton, said at the organization's recent monthly meeting that holding concerts in the park ranked high on surveys returned thus far.
Earlier this year, the organization's economic restructuring committee developed a residential and merchant survey to spotlight potential business and downtown needs.
Board member and building owner Jenny Nevans said the comparatively low number of responses, about 40, was not surprising as the survey was distributed during the vacation season.
Distribution of the surveys has been halted until a youth group or other volunteers can assist later this month or in early August.
During the MainStreet Dayton meeting, Rhea County Executive George Thacker briefly interrupted to announce that nearly 120 participants with the Bryan College Summit Ministries staff had offered to help with downtown projects.
Thacker called the volunteerism "priceless labor," and said the group already had helped with one project he had suggested: helping with flood clean-up, especially in Frazier Park.
The board eagerly accepted the offering of help, and Tromanhauser said they would need five to 12 students to distribute the surveys.
In other matters, MainStreet Dayton recently received a $2,300 grant from the Tennessee Arts Commission.
Tromanhauser said that money would help offset music and other expenses for this year's 25th annual Scopes Festival, set for July 19-20 in downtown Dayton.
