John March, MD, MPH, is a professor of psychiatry and chief of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. He led the Treatment of Adolescents with Depression (TADS) study, published in the August 18, 2004 Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), as well as the Pediatric OCD Treatment Study (POTS), published in the October 27, 2004 JAMA.
In February 2004, the FDA convened an advisory panel and public hearing to discuss reports of increased rates of suicidality in pediatric patients with major depressive disorder treated with antidepressant medications. The hearing prompted a spate of articles in the lay press about the dangers of antidepressants in young people, as well as numerous phone calls and visits to physicians from concerned parents.
After a comprehensive data review, the FDA in October issued a "black box" directive for all antidepressants: drug manufacturers are required to add a warning (bordered in black) that describes the increased risk of suicidal thinking and behavior in children and adolescents and alerts caregivers about the risk. Prescribers are encouraged to balance risk with clinical need and to monitor patients on antidepressants closely. Finally, the FDA deemed that a Patient Medication Guide advising patients of the risks and offering precautions be distributed with every filled prescription and refill.
At this point, some perspective about the place of antidepressants in the treatment of mentally ill youth is warranted.
Twenty years ago -- when the first SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor), fluoxetine (Prozac), received FDA approval -- some in the psychiatric community still doubted whether depression even existed in adolescents and children. The primary medications prescribed for depression were the tricyclic antidepressants -- like imipramine (Tofranil) -- that are side effect-ridden, dangerous in overdose, and in fact don't work for depression in young people.
We've made tremendous progress since then: clinicians concur that depression in young people is real, and some medication trials in patients under age 18 demonstrate the efficacy of newer-generation antidepressants for treating depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and eating disorders. However, in the 1990s, case reports began to emerge hinting that SSRIs may be associated with the development of suicidal thoughts in youth. These were case reports, not controlled clinical studies. Only recently have enough patients in this age group participated in trials that the FDA could systematically review the data.
The FDA meta-analysis that brought about the black box directive included 24 trials of nine antidepressant drugs (SSRIs and others) involving more than 4,400 patients with major depressive disorder (MDD), OCD, or other psychiatric disorders.
Although no suicides occurred in the trials, the analysis showed a 4 percent risk of suicidality -- suicide events such as increased ideation, attempts, and interrupted attempts -- during the first few months in those receiving antidepressants. That was twice the placebo risk of 2 percent. In other words, a doctor treating 100 patients with an SSRI and 100 with placebo over one year would see six suicide events: two on placebo, two on active drugs that would have happened anyway, and two which could be attributed in part to the SSRI. Since most suicidal behavior occurs in the context of mental illness, major life stresses, and substance abuse, picking out the very small risk associated with medication likely is impossible -- in part because we don't know who is at risk or the mechanism by which this risk increases.
Similarly, a 2007 meta analysis found that antidepressants increased the risk of suicidality by a small margin, especially in clinically depressed patients. The study, led by Jeffrey A. Bridge, PhD, of Ohio State University, compared the rate of suicide events with the rate of effective outcomes from antidepressants for patients with MDD, OCD, and non-OCD anxiety disorders. Data showed that antidepressants increased the risk for suicidal events most among patients with MDD, followed by patients with non-OCD anxiety disorders and patients with OCD. The authors conclude, however, that benefits of antidepressants appear to be much greater than risks from suicidal ideation or attempt for each of the three categories. Gains from antidepressants among children younger than 12 were limited, but in teenagers, antidepressants showed strong positive benefits in non-OCD anxiety disorders, moderate benefits in OCD, and more modest benefits in MDD.
Nonetheless, there's now little doubt that these medications demonstrate a small but real adverse effect on suicide attempt rates. Since suicidality was uncommon in these trials, doctors, parents, and kids need to weigh the risk (very small) against the benefits (modest to moderate but still clinically meaningful) of the medications for most youth treated with them.
The results of the 2004 TADS trial (Treatment of Adolescents with Depression), conducted at multiple sites including Duke University, confirmed the FDA's analysis and made some additional noteworthy findings. The first of its kind to compare psychotherapy of any type to antidepressant medication in this age group, the study examined the effect of placebo, fluoxetine, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and their combination in 439 patients ages 12-17 with major depressive disorder.
The analysis indicated that the combination of fluoxetine plus CBT is better than fluoxetine alone, which is better than CBT alone, which is statistically no better than placebo. The finding that CBT is no better than placebo is surprising in light of its success in previous studies. (In fact, another 2004 Duke-led trial, POTS (Pediatric OCD Treatment Study), found that treatment with CBT alone was more effective than sertraline [Zoloft] alone for youth with OCD -- again, a combination was most effective. No POTS participants experienced suicidality.)
However, in the TADS study CBT did demonstrate an important benefit -- it reduced suicidal thoughts and behaviors, both alone and in conjunction with fluoxetine treatment. CBT -- which teaches patients how to overcome negative, pessimistic attitudes -- may help patients by providing coping skills for dealing with suicidal impulses and problem-solving skills when confronted with family conflict.
More recent data (2006 and 2007) from TADS confirm that medication accelerates recovery from depression and that the benefits are stronger when medication is combined with CBT than medicine alone. Moreover, combined treatment also shows a much greater impact on function, quality of life, and complete remission of symptoms than either CBT or medication alone.
However, with CBT alone, the results catch up with medication by 18 weeks of treatment. They don't catch up to combined treatment, which reaches maximum benefit at week 18, as contrasted to medication or CBT, which take another two to three months to reach maximum benefit. In addition, results from the TADS long-term study show very clearly that CBT protects against the slight risk of a suicidal event in patients treated with medication.
The TADS take home message: advantage combined treatment!
Another recent study made important findings about the relationship between SSRI prescriptions and rate of completed suicides. Although the FDA found that antidepressants slightly increased the suicide attempt rate among adolescents, data indicate that it actually decreases the rate of completed suicides among that group, by a significant margin. Earlier this year, Robert D. Gibbons, PhD, of the University of South Florida, led a study that compared the antidepressant prescription rate with the completed suicide rate in both the United States and the Netherlands.
As expected, the doctors in both countries prescribed SSRIs much less often following FDA public health warnings. But with that change came a spike in youth suicide rates in both countries. In the U.S., adolescent suicides increased by 14 percent between 2003 and 2004 -- the largest year-to-year change since systematic data collection began in 1979. The implications are clear: although antidepressants slightly increase the risk of a suicidal event for a vulnerable subpopulation, antidepressants also appear to decrease the completed suicide rate, presumably through effective treatment of depression.
So, how should our way of treating the adolescent with depression change in light of recent data and FDA directives?
In some respects, it doesn't. Every patient beginning a course of medication should be told that any hint of suicidal thoughts or self-harm needs to be reported to the physician right away. Moreover, along with being informed about the risks of medication, patients and families should receive a written list of symptoms that may foreshadow suicidal thoughts and behaviors -- including agitation, impulsivity, panic attacks, akathesia (restlessness), irritability, insomnia, hostility, hypomania, and mania. They should also be aware that major life stress as well as alcohol or drug use compounds the risk.
Understandably, primary care physicians may be wary of treating depressed youth with medication. Before treatment begins, young people with symptoms of depression need a comprehensive evaluation and accurate diagnosis. Not every patient needs medication -- those with milder cases often respond well to psychotherapy.
If the patient has mild depression and no prior or current suicidality, then the primary care physician may feel comfortable treating the patient with CBT alone, adding medication after four to six weeks if the patient shows no response to CBT. On the other hand, if the patient is very ill, has other mental disorders (such as ADHD or an anxiety disorder), or has a personal or family history of suicidality, then starting directly with combined treatment may make the most sense. Using medications alone is the least preferred option, but may be the best option if CBT is not available. In any case, the initial treatment frequent monitoring is essential, especially during the first weeks of treatment. The more severely depressed patient, particularly if suicidal, should be referred to someone who regularly deals with such patients -- a child psychiatrist, an adult psychiatrist who also specializes in adolescents, or a developmental pediatrician who treats children with severe mental illnesses.
Left untreated, childhood and adolescent depression can have serious, even fatal, consequences. Depressed young people have ongoing problems at school, with friends, and at home, and are at increased risk for substance abuse, eating disorders, and pregnancy. We now have very good evidence that SSRIs, particularly fluoxetine, accelerate recovery in depressed teens. Most clinicians agree that the benefits still outweigh the risks -- adding CBT seems to reduce the risk and very clearly enhances the effectiveness of medication. Thus, I would strongly encourage the use of combination therapy as the best treatment for teenagers with major depressive disorder, especially when there is a history of past or present suicidal ideation or behavior.

Show me the money
This was an expensive season for the San Antonio Spurs. At just over $69 million, the Spurs shelled out enough to put them in the top fifteen highest paid teams in the NBA. With many questions surrounding the team after a disappointing early exit from the playoffs, many are wondering what changes the team can make in the off-season to complete one last run as the Tim Duncan era gets smaller in the window. The answer to that question may rely on the answer to another question: what can the Spurs afford?
Who's Back?
For 2011-2012, the Spurs have nearly all of the current team under contract, and will cut loose a lot of dead weight contracts on players that have been traded or released. Most everyone stands to make substantial raises, and even with eight fewer contracts on the books, the team's payroll is likely to balloon to over $75 million, catapulting the team into the top ten of the league's payrolls.
Tim has an early termination option that the team is likely to exercise for what may bring his illustrious career to an end once next season is over. If the team exercises the option, Mr. Duncan will see a cool $3 million raise next season, topping out somewhere north of $21 million. Drinks are on Tim next time.
Tony Parker's re-signing in the fall was much publicized as he remains under contract for the next four seasons, though trade speculation has and will continue to surround his future as a Spur. Manu Ginobili as well is locked down for next season and the season after. While most expect that Antonio McDyess plans to hang up his sneakers, he has one more year unguaranteed on his contract should he seek one last swan song. To the chagrin of fans everywhere, Richard Jefferson will return as the fourth highest paid player on the team at over $9 million, though he is worth every only a penny.
Tiago Splitter, DeJuan Blair, Matt Bonner, James Anderson, George Hill, Gary Neal, Danny Green, and Da'Sean Butler are also signed on for next season as well.

You may have heard about the new disposable container ban that applies to areas inside the New Braunfels city limits. If you are inside the city limits, it's okay to drink on the river, as long as you have a non-disposable container. Local businesses and river outfitters will be glad to help you understand the restrictions.
The Guadalupe River is one of the most beautiful and adventure ready destinations in Texas. The upper river runs fast and is lined up at the banks with limestone and pecan and bald Cyprus trees. This part of the river is popular as a tubing destination in the spring and summer. The perfectly paced water with the shades offered by trees on the banks gives tourists a spectacular experience, one that can be enjoyed and shared with friends and family. It flows through the Guadalupe River State Park and campers can make the most of floating down the river in their inflated tubes. In order to protect the environment, glass and Styrofoam are not allowed. The lower river originates from Canyon Lake and the section between the New Braunfels and Canyon Dam is the most popular stretch for recreational purposes that range from tubing, rafting and camping. During the summer season, thousands of families flock to this part of Guadalupe River to enjoy the picturesque views of nature and delve into some adventure sport like rafting, canoeing, kayaking as well as tubing. Much of the land along this stretch is private and so care needs to be taken to respect the privacy of residents in accordance with the law. Tourists and adventure seekers can plan their stay ahead of time through a full range of campsites and lodging facilities. The types of cabins available for rent range from small spaces with the bare necessities to luxury accommodations for several families. Whether you're looking for a weekend of fun with the family, or a month long vacation in the lap of nature, there's something for everyone at the Guadalupe River.

Anglers share their tips on how to hook 'em in this Southern Nevada recreation area.
Photo: Darla Cook (above), Lee Allen (below)
Lake Mead is a huge body of water that literally contains millions of striped bass—and when you discover a school of these feisty foragers, set the steel and hang on.
"There are times you can actually become exhausted pulling fish in," says long-time angler Larry Crim of Las Vegas. "Hitting a shad boil tends to peg the fun meter," he says, remembering one such event in the Hay Stack area near Temple Bar. "Stripers chasing shad had the whole cove boiling from bank to bank. My partner and I threw top-water baits and locked up with each cast until the boil disappeared as quickly as it had started. By the time the cove was quiet again, there were nearly 40 stripers in the bottom of the boat, many of which weighed up to 10 pounds. We were so dog tired we bottom-fished with anchovies the rest of the day."
These torpedoes dressed in pin stripes are constantly on the move and are forever looking for something to eat. "These fish don't hang on every foot of shoreline or hide out in every cove waiting to ambush bait. You've got to move around until you find them," says former professional angler Greg Hines.
He suggests keeping an eye out for diving birds smashing surface waters or looking for herons lined up on the bank. The birds are looking for the same baitfish, generally threadfin shad, and when the feathered critters start to actively feed, you can be sure the finned ones will also be on hand to respond to the sound of the dinner bell.
Depending on the season, these potential frying pan fillets will either be close to the top, busting schools of baitfish and then slurping up single shad, or they'll be hanging deeper and need to be coaxed into a feeding frenzy by chumming.
Cooler weather will generally find stripers suspended, and January and February are some of the tougher months to entice them to strike. Striped bass descend because water temperatures have dropped, causing shad baitfish to leave shallow brush and go deeper in search of a constant temperature they're comfortable in. Because shad's lower lethal limit is about 43 degrees, they go deep and hold at 60-90 feet, and stripers go down with them.
"Obviously, if you can find a school of either one—stripers or shad—you'll catch fish," says fisheries biologist Wayne Gustaveson. "Focus on the 50-to-60-foot-depth strata towards the back of major canyons to make best use of your graphing time. When you spot a school of stripers, frequently over submerged creek channels, chum the spot and then use frozen cut anchovy bait to set the hook on deeper fish. Try jigging spoons for the more active fish that rise off the bottom in response to the chum."
Trolled lures in 20 to 40 feet of water work well for active stripers that boil occasionally, while downrigger trolling can also be productive with lures that run down with the same 60-to-80-foot-deep fish seen on the graph.
"Those are the major two winter patterns because stripers will be searching for food all winter long," Gustaveson says. "Use bait over the deep resting schools, but keep in mind that periodically hungry stripers will head into shallow water on a food foray. When that happens, top-water, shallow-running crankbaits and spinnerbaits will work for big catches if schooling stripers are cruising the back of a canyon where water depth is 25 feet or shallower."
The winter pattern generally holds during cool-water months when fish tend to be more dormant. "By March or April, when the waters begin to warm up again, fishing will start to pick up again," Gustaveson says, noting that where stripers can be found depends on food supply. "When they're in good shape, they stay in the backs of canyons with the shad. When there's limited baitfish available, they'll head for channel currents where they can spawn. It's a fine line to determine which way they'll head in the springtime as they try to figure out which of the two most powerful urges will get satisfied first."
As waters continue to warm, smart anglers keep a sharper eye out for early season shad boils. There's no apparent rhyme or reason to predict when this will happen other than it occurs when shad spawn, and that's strictly left up to the shad. Once the young fry are at eating-size for predators, the action starts hot and heavy. Shad can spawn at anytime from early spring to fall, so just keep moving, be on the lookout for signs of activity, and when the melee occurs, don't stop casting until calm returns.
While it's true that the best time to go fishing is whenever you have the chance, it's also true that you can catch actively feeding stripers all year long on a variety of lures tied to all kinds of rods. Stickbaits, buzz baits, chuggers, poppers, and propeller lures will prompt a strike as will artificial minnows and jigs fished vertically or part of an anchovy stuck on a hook.
Past experience with shad boils in Grand Wash, a large bay popular with anglers who launch out of Callville Bay Marina to fish coves, points, and stair-stepping ledges, has shown the fish there really like Twitch'N Minnows, Thundersticks, or Rapala surface and shallow-running lures tossed right into the middle of that ring of fury.
Preferences vary, but a 5½-foot light-action casting rod accompanied by baitcasting or spincasting reels spooled with 10-to-12-pound test line should bring most fish to the boat's livewell.

Fluorescent fixture issue
My FIL gave me a bunch of fluorescent (troffer-type) fixtures for the basement. Before I replaced it, the existing light was a plain old CFL bulb.The light is controlled by a switch on the wall (non 3 way). I wired in one fixture (of 4) - worked fine on first startup. I then wired in a second (the wiring from the switch goes to a distribution box in the ceiling, so all the connections/T's are via wire nuts), and it was kind of fruity, so I tried a bunch of different bulbs and eventually determined the ballast was toast. I replaced the dead fixture with another one, wired up, worked great right on startup. I then ran a wire to the other side of the basement for a 3rd fixture, and spliced it into the aforementioned distribution box. Now I turn on the switch and the 1st and 3rd lights work - 2nd one won't start. WTF? I didn't disturb any electrical connections to light #2. Could there be some odd interference going on? If it's worth anything, I've found that these things are finnicky about grounds - odd that the ballasts need to be grounded (the body of the ballast), but they don't include a wire explicit for that purpose - you just have to wrap it around a ballast mount screw. |
A couple things:
Junction boxes must be accessible, think twice before you bury that "distribution box" in an inaccessible manner in the ceiling. Old fluorescent light fixtures are often not that desirable, newer ones (T5) are much more efficient. You could potentially replace the ballasts with a more efficient one and even convert it to accept a different type of bulb but this may not be cost effective vs buying new. The ballast is grounded by it's connection to the metal frame of the fixture which must be grounded. In many cases the fixture will include a ground screw but if it doesn't there's bound to be a hole that's intended for a ground screw. You really shouldn't try to use the ballast mounting crew for this purpose. It isn't uncommon to get brand new bulbs that are bad. I've also seen plenty of instances where one or more of the wires comes loose from the bulb base. I've also seen some lights where simply moving some of the wires in the fixture was enough to make it work (more common with old inefficient magnetic ballasts than newer electronic ones). If in doubt call an electrician. Last edited by jkee; 03-17-2013 at 12:03 AM.. |
On minor correction to jkee's post(?)
Don't you mean T8 instead of the the old T12 bulbs? I put T8's in my Garage, and it's nice not to have the cold weather flicker as the fixtures were rated to 32 degrees. THANK YOU to those whom have fought and are fighting for our FREEDOM Please Support Autism Awareness [autismspeaks.org] 7/11/2009 |
T5's are even smaller in diameter and more efficient but have a different base than T8's. The conversion of a T12 fixture to T8's is simpler, all you have to do is swap the ballast and replace the bulbs. Last edited by jkee; 03-17-2013 at 04:08 PM.. |
I would expect using the ballast mounting screw to create a less reliable connection than using a proper ground screw. If you end up replacing the ballast though do yourself a favor and convert it to an electronic F34T8 ballast (assuming it's an old magnetic F40T12). Last edited by jkee; 03-17-2013 at 04:15 PM.. |
The ones I've put up already give MUCH more uniform and "pleasant" light than the CFL they replaced. The troffers I will use in the finished part of the basement are 2x2 troffers; I'll use 1 near an exit door (this light is likely to remain on for periods of time) and 4 in a "gym room" that will house some exercise equipment. I do have recessed lamps (top hat/can style) in the main room and sconces in another room which I will likely have regular CFL's. The troffer-style lights look too industrial for me in a living space, but for storage they are fine. |
Oddly enough the fixtures I originally wrote about have been working fine since. I've installed the drop ceiling in one section of the basement and have installed 3 (of 4) 2x2 fluorescent fixtures - these take the U shaped bulbs (2). Here's the issue: - when they first turn on, they flicker/etc but this goes away (cold start issue, no big deal). One will even not turn on for several minutes, presumably it's warming up. - after being on for "awhile" perhaps 15-20 minutes, the lamps will start to flicker again and this gets worse with time. There is an audible hum from the ballast. The flickering gets so bad I have to pull the bulbs. Note that the bulbs are particularly hot at the ends where they make electrical contact. so, fark it, I'm going to get new ballasts. Can someone direct me what to buy @ Lowes? Here's a photo of one of the current ballasts and bulbs. (note that all the ballasts and bulbs are different!) Bulb: GE 23585 - F32T8/SP35/U/6 Ballast: Advance R-2S40-1-TP [mylightingsolutions.net] Is it an issue that the ballast doesn't list 32W fixtures? Also would it be possible to get a ballast to run these bulbs: http://www.lowes.com/ProductDispl... |

Woot woot!
With a win tonight it's feasible that this team doesn't end up with the worst record in the NBA this year.
I hate the Magic, so let's take them down. They're wrecked by injuries and this is on the Cat's home floor. No excuses.
Looking for big games from Kemba and Biz.

8:40 PM ET, September 3, 2013
Coors Field, Denver, Colorado
DENVER -- The Los Angeles Dodgers are reaping the benefits from the most productive run of Ricky Nolasco's career.
Nolasco pitched six strong innings, Carl Crawford had a two-run single among three hits to spark the offense in the absence of injured catalyst Yasiel Puig, and the NL West-leading Dodgers beat the Colorado Rockies 7-4 on Tuesday night for their sixth straight win.
"Being in this chase right now, to be able to pitch my best, at this time, is big for me and for the team," Nolasco said.
More Dodgers-Rockies Coverage
With a postseason berth getting closer by the day, the Dodgers have turned this stretch of their season into an evaluation period, Mark Saxon writes. Story
• Dodgers Blog | ESPN Los Angeles
Nolasco (12-9) allowed two runs and five hits in improving to 7-1 with a 2.27 ERA in his 11 starts since coming to the Dodgers on July 6 in a trade with Miami. He struck out five and walked one.
"He's been great because he's pitched well pretty much every time out," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said. "He's kind of solidified that fourth guy for us and that's where we had been searching. Ricky came in and basically gave us another guy."
Nolasco kept the Rockies off balance by pitching inside with his fastball and then mixing in his slider.
"The ball would be there and it dropped at the last second. It had late movement," the Rockies' Nolan Arenado said. "I would say he is a pretty darn good pitcher."
The Dodgers' deep pitching staff has been complemented by the team's depth among position players, which was tested again in the absence of Puig, who was rested a day after aggravating a right knee strain. He remains day to day.
Crawford went 3 for 5 and Nick Punto added four singles to help bolster the offense.
"We have tons of talent in this room," Nolasco said. "Veterans, young guys, to be able to give a couple guys breathers and have other guys step up is huge. Everybody comes in ready to play and when you have depth like that, it's huge for the team."
Jhoulys Chacin (13-8) allowed four runs in seven innings in losing to the Dodgers for the first time in four starts this season.
Down two runs, the Rockies pulled within one when pinch-hitter Josh Rutledge, batting for Carlos Gonzalez, led off the eighth with a drive off reliever Paco Rodriguez that reached the bleachers in left. Rodriguez walked Dexter Fowler and was relieved by Ronald Belisario.
After D.J. LeMahieu sacrificed, Belisario got Troy Tulowitzki to line out to short and Fowler was doubled off second when he was caught off the bag.
The Dodgers came back to load the bases with two outs in the ninth against reliever Rex Brothers. Mark Ellis hit a fly ball that kicked off the glove of retreating left fielder Charlie Culberson for an error leading to three unearned runs.
"I was expecting to be closer to the ball," Culberson said. "I got there quicker than expected and missed it."
Chris Withrow got the final out for his first save.
The Dodgers opened a 3-0 lead in the second, loading the bases on Andre Ethier's double, Ellis' walk and Skip Schumaker's infield single. Tim Federowicz drove in the first run with a sacrifice fly and after Nolasco moved the runners up with another sacrifice, Crawford came through with a two-run single to left.
Adrian Gonzalez put the Dodgers up 4-0 with a sacrifice fly in the fifth.
Nolasco had allowed only one hit before Charlie Blackmon doubled with two outs in the fifth. Chacin followed with an RBI single to right.
The Rockies pulled within two after LeMahieu doubled to start the sixth, took third when left fielder Crawford bobbled LeMahieu's liner for an error and scored on Tulowitzki's groundout.
Game notes
Crawford has had multiple hits in four straight games. ... The Rockies have activated Gonzalez from the DL but his availability remains limited because of lingering soreness in a joint of his right middle finger. He entered in the eighth as a defensive replacement but was lifted in the bottom of the inning for Rutledge as a precaution against hurting the finger by swinging the bat. ... With active rosters expanded, the Rockies also recalled from the minors pitchers Mitchell Boggs, Manuel Corpas and Collin McHugh and infielder/outfielder Ryan Wheeler. ... OF Matt Kemp, on the DL since July 22 with a left ankle sprain, traveled to the Dodgers' complex in Arizona to get in some concentrated hitting work in a series of simulated games over the next several days. ... Edinson Volquez (9-10) is set to make his first start for the Dodgers since they signed him following his release late last month by San Diego. He will be opposed by Jorge De La Rosa (15-6).

Ethical Pet Products Spotbrites® Safe T Tag Bone Led Id Tag -- 1 Tag
Once you get it working...
the light still go on and off... inferior. The light arrived and my first impression was that this wouldn't last long because it just looks cheap. Once I removed the plastic that disconnected the circuit, I thought the light would work... but it didn't. After shaking it and tabbing on it, I had to remove the screws to take the batteries out and see what the problem is. Batteries were corroded and the metal connectors were faulty... and after fixing all that... the light would still go off even though the switch was left on.

Each team consists of 10 players and one goalkeeper. The objective of the game of soccer is to get the ball into the goal of the opposing team. This can be achieved by kicking the ball or using one's head to maneuver it across the field. Soccer matches are 90 minutes long, with a 15-minute break called half-time in the middle. Each country has their own soccer leagues and tournaments. The biggest of these tournaments, however, is the World Cup, which takes place every four years. Spain is the current World Cup Champion. Soccer games, especially those on an international level, are well attended events. Many South American countries, such as Argentina and Brazil are big soccer nations. Recently U.S. Major League Soccer has become more popular, with British star midfielder David Beckham joining the Los Angeles Galaxy.

Thunder ButtressThe last major formation before Sundance, Thunder Buttress is a three to four pitch rock split by a long discontinuous ledge, the bottom half being a slab much like the Pear, and the top half being steep, blocky and plagued with lichens and loose rock. It certainly isn't a classic crag, but you're guaranteed to have it all to yourself. Getting ThereHike to the base of the Pear and head west for about a quarter mile (no trail) until you find Thunder Buttress, or continue on the main trail toward Sundance and bushwhack straight up the slope. 1 Total Routes

All the way at the west end of Thunder Buttress, a short way left of a low roof, look for a water-worn chimney. Climb black-streaked rock to the left of this, and continue up two pitches of grooved low-angled rock, trending right and taking the line of least resistance, until you arrive at a large ledge at the base of the headwall arete or ridge. You can easily walk off west from here.Follow the arete for two more longer pitches, looking for the crux roof at the end of the third pitch. Because i...[more] Browse More Classics in CO

text: On my way down to the stage to see Dylan, I swung by the Dance tent where Moby was spinning (like the lingo I used there? I'm way hip) a DJ set. The tent, which I have studiously avoided all weekend, was packed with kids dancing along to the thump-thump-thump of the techno beat. I know John Lewis took a foray in there yesterday and enjoyed himself. I could only last about five minutes. It's just not my thing—not that I don't like to dance, mind you. In fact, I love to dance, but I need a little more variety in my beat than just thump, thump, thump, thump. As George Clinton once said of the throbbing 4/4 beat that underlies most dance music, "You can just phone that sh!t in."

My school is looking at buying iPads for all students, and having bluetooth keyboards for every iPad.
This would make up to 24 iPads + bluetooth keyboards in any one classroom. In addition we have a lot of wifi hubs around the school, and nearby classrooms would be using iPads + keyboards as well.
Does anyone have experience with this sort of roll-out of bluetooth keyboards? Can we expect a lot of interference problems?
This is a critical question for us as the keyboard is something we really want.
note: I posted this thread in General Discussions as I think it is relevant to multiple environments, not just schools.

The furor over teaching evolution's shortcomings has moved to a small town in Louisiana. As reported in November 2006 by Louisiana news sources, the school board of Ouachita Parish adopted a policy with two seemingly innocent provisions:
- "[The parish] encourages students to explore scientific questions, learn about scientific evidence, develop critical thinking skills, and respond appropriately to differences of opinion about controversial issues."
- "Teachers shall be permitted to help students understand, analyze, critique, and review in an objective manner the scientific strengths and weaknesses of existing scientific theories pertinent to the course being taught."
While academic freedom and critical thinking sound like noble goals, not everyone was pleased. "This is, I think, the next wave of attack by anti-evolution forces to get their materials into public schools," warned Barry Lynn, executive director of Americans United for Separation of Church and State. University biology professors wrote a letter urging school board members to reconsider, and a lawsuit is likely.
Will students ever be free to learn the whole truth about evolution, warts and all?

Chicago Bulls forward Carlos Boozer has probably been photobombed his fair share of times, likely at nightclubs or high roller events.
He couldn't possibly have guessed it would have happened in one of the most relaxed pictures possible. Recently, he got photobombed hard by a dolphin while cruising along on his yacht.
The only other occasion when we have such perfect timing was when angels in the outfield saved reporter Kelly Nash from being bashed in the head by a home run ball.

On April 8, it is the Roma International Day. The day is celebrated in commemoration of the First International Roma Congress in London 1971, wich marked the beginning of a co-ordinated effort to promote Roma rights at an international level. Minister for Integration, Erik Ullenhag, who also has responsibility for national minorities, sends his greetings to Sweden's Roma population.
UN Human Rights Committee concludes its session in New York
The 104th session of the UN Human Rights Committee, which has been under way in New York from 12-30 March 2012, will conclude tomorrow. The Human Rights Committee is one of the UN convention bodies, and is tasked with monitoring whether countries comply with their commitments under the UN International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR).
Summary from the 19th session of the UN Human Rights Council
The 19th session of the UN Human Rights Council, which has been assembled for four weeks since 27 February, ended on friday. The agenda has covered many highly topical issues regarding human rights around the world.
Violence against women - the most urgent gender equality issue
The Government is deepening and intensifying the major drive to prevent and combat men's violence against women that was launched during the last electoral period. Women and men, girls and boys, must be able to live free of the fear of being subjected to violence and other abuse. Today, on International Women's Day, the Government would like to turn the spotlight on this issue.
LGBT issues on UN agenda
Yesterday, a panel discussion on LGBT issues is being held at the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva. The discussion focuses on the report on discrimination and acts of violence against LGBT people that was published by the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights late last autumn.
"We feel it is important that the Council establishes a mechanism that makes it possible to systematically monitor the situation of LGBT people around the world", says Carina Mårtensson, Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs.
Government action plan against violent extremism
On 9 December, the minister responsible for democracy issues, Birgitta Ohlsson, presented the Government's action plan to protect democracy against violent extremism. The action plan consists of 15 measures and SEK 62 million is being set aside in 2012-2014 to strengthen preventive work.
"I am proud to present the first Swedish action plan against violent extremism. We must defend the cornerstones of democracy, including the rule of law, freedom of expression and other fundamental human rights," says Birgitta Ohlsson.
Per Anger prize to imprisoned human rights defender in Iran
Lawyer and human rights activist Narges Mohammadi from Iran has been awarded the 2011 Per Anger Prize for her efforts on behalf of human rights and especially the rights of women. Since 2004 the Living History Forum awards the Per Anger Prize to a person who has made great contributions to democracy and humanitarian work. The Prize Award Ceremony will take place at Kulturhuset on Monday 14 November in connection with the Human Rights Days event. The prize will be awarded by Minister for Integration Erik Ullenhag.
Ministry for Foreign Affairs reports on the human rights situation in countries around the world
The Ministry for Foreign Affairs compiles reports on compliance with human rights in all countries of the world. The reports have been publicly available since 2003 and are available on the Government website for human rights, www.manskligarattigheter.se.
In 2010 the Ministry for Foreign Affairs examined the human rights situation worldwide. The reports for 2010 will be presented on 7 July 2011.
Action plan to prevent young people from being forced into marriage
In Sweden, marriage may not be entered into without the valid consent of both people. Nevertheless, many young people in our society are worried that they won't be allowed to choose their own partner or spouse. The Swedish Government has therefore adopted an action plan to prevent young people from being forced into marriage with 15 different measures.

08-28-2012, 10:29 AM #46If I have the resources and time, I'll usually do it myself. It's good to have people to ask questions (like on here) if you get stumped over something. Saving money is a plus, but I value the experience and satisfaction I get when I fix something. At least on my stuff, if I do it, I know what I did. I don't trust too many other people to work on my vehicles. Never know when some people will take short cuts. Flat rate pay often causes mechanics to get in a rush... Not saying they are not good at what they do, but there's a lot of pressure trying to beat the clock on some jobs.

it stopped working. it needs to be updated.
Oh how I loathed that hover scrolling. Good riddance!
Disclaimer: I think I've used this all of 10 seconds so far.
Thank you for this. Ever since Netflix switched to the scrolling movie covers, I've had motion blur and screen tear causing eye strain while browsing the movies. I preferred the instant loading of x titles per click to the slow blurry scrolling of the current interface - and your windows-styled scroll bars allow me to mimic the old behavior. Better yet, if I decide to watch the movie that is half the list length away I don't have to scroll for 15 seconds to get to it, I can just slide to the position and click away (which reminds me, not to find a script that goes to more info instead of play like it use to, then I have all the old behavior I like back - and 10 seconds on this site leads me to Open Netflix Movies as Detailed View 1.2, fully restoring the old Netflix behavior).
Again, thanks for this simple and useful script.
Nice scripts, work very good, I really like it.
Good Job! You made Netflix suck less, which is not easy.
Thanks for putting this together. I was just about to do the same and figured I should check userscripts first. Glad I did! This is the correct UI implementation for the Netflix site. Why they would ever choose a hover to do something as simple as horizontal scrolling is beyond me.

I normally ignore (Connie) Schultz's viewpoint piece in the paper, because in my opinion it is filled with half-truths and its goal is to further her agenda and her husband's political career. Due to the tile "just like you" I read it. I grew up with a similar family background. I have family members that run the gamut from conservative to liberal. I believe that women should have equal pay for equal work. I believe that people should not be persecuted for their beliefs or lifestyles as long as they don't harm others or break the law. Most people value safety, voting rights, immigration reform, grandchildren, pets, etc. We are all people after all, it's rare that you can't find some common ground with anyone Her suggestion that "liberals" are the only ones that do care about the above issues and that Obama's opinion is that only one that is correct is insulting, in my opinion.
She goes on to gush about the president's inaugural speech. She, like the president and most good con artists from either extreme, fill their writings and speeches with half-truths that are good sound bites that cannot be refuted with simple answers, but would need in depth rational discussion.
She and others like her try to blame responsible gun owners for the recent shootings. They will not accept responsibility that it is their efforts that allowed violent, mentally disturbed people to choose not to have follow-ups nor take their medicines; yet they cannot be jailed or institutionalized. Yet hardworking people who have contributed to society cannot be trusted in their eyes.
People like her claim they will pay for all their projects by taxing the rich, only those making over $250,000. If that's true how come I make less than that but pay almost 50 percent of my earnings to the local, state, and federal government through various taxes, and the government already spends 40 percent more than it takes in?
When Ed Koch was pressed about why he was making cuts to balance the budget, he was quoted as saying I'm a liberal, not a wacko. I would suggest the wacko label should apply to members of both parties generally the ones in positions of control.
So I feel that I'm much different than Schultz. I don't think her labels are accurate, I consider myself a moderate, but since I favor personal and financial responsibility with limited taxation and government powers, I'm called a conservative by her kind.
I have self-proclaimed liberal friends and relatives, most of the time we try to have discussions and try to understand and influence the other persons point of view, not belittle, demean, and question the others persons morals and intelligence if we disagree. In my opinion they're not like her either.

Teachers Who Saved Students Called Heroes
Updated: Tuesday, March 19 2013, 07:19 AM EDT
Two North Buncombe Elementary students, a second and a fourth-grader nearly choked to death in separate incidents in the school cafeteria in January and February. "It was a life-threatening situation if they hadn't had that help," said school nurse Renee Cornwell.
The help came from two heroic teachers who happened to be in the right place at the right time. They saw the students barely able to breathe and stepped in to perform the Heimlich Maneuver. "But anyone who's involved in something like that I don't think you think of yourself as a hero," said Cornwell. The two teachers in this case were no different. In fact, they're so modest they declined to be interviewed or even named for this story.
But physical education teacher and CPR instructor Rhonda Smith was willing to talk because she said the issue is so important. "Choking is a true emergency," said Smith. She demonstrates the Heimlich to 4th graders at North Buncombe every year. "If a child is choking, or anyone is choking, you have to try to open up that airway right away."
Now something new is happening since the near tragedies. Every teacher at North Buncombe is being trained how to perform the Heimlich. "Heimlich is an easy maneuver to learn. It doesn't take a lot of skill. So, it's important that everyone learn how to do that," Cornwell said.
