Building Reusable Java Widgets
The window bar is a component needed for the collapsing pane example below. You click on the window bar and the pane collapses. Click on it again and it opens up. To keep it simple I will use a button for the bar, rather than creating a fancy visual bar. The bar must broadcast events to signal that the pane should collapse or restore.
The layout of this widget is intentionally trivial, to keep the example simple.
public WindowBar() { super() ; _closer = new Button( "Collapse" ) ; _closer.addActionListener( this ) ; add( _closer ) ; }
For this widget we need an event with states of "collapse" and "restore". This will be very similar to our e-mail entry widget. Here is the PaneSwitchEvent:
class PaneSwitchEvent extend AWTEvent { public static final int COLLAPSE = 1 ; public static final int RESTORE =2 ; private int _type ; public PaneSwitchEvent( Object source, int t ) { super( source , 0 ) ; _type = t ; } public boolean isRestore() { return _type == RESTORE ; } }
The pane switch event needs only to maintain the type of event that it represents.
Let's continue down a familiar road and look at the PaneSwitchEventListener. Here it is:
interface PaneSwitchListener extends EventListener { public void restore( PaneSwitchEvent e ) ; public void collapse( PaneSwitchEvent e ) ; }
Your listener defines the two methods invoked when the pane switch event occurs. In this case it is restore and collapse.
The multicaster is very similar as well. Just as in the e-mail example, you must create the add and remove methods that accept pane switch listeners as arguments. Then create the collapse and restore methods. Note that you do not need to create a new multicaster for each event class you create. You may choose to have a single multicaster class for all of your widgets. I have chosen to combine the events from both examples into one multicaster class. See Listing 4 for details.
Finally, we need to complete the WindowBar widget. This widget will simply change its text from "collapse" to "restore" and back again when clicked. In addition it sends the corresponding event. Take a look at Listing 6 to see how it's done.
A visual window bar: Create a subclass of WindowBar that renders itself graphically, instead of as a button. Read up on mouse listeners and mouse events; you will need to listen for them.
A more complete window bar: Consider additional actions such as maximize, close, etc. What classes change and in what way?
The collapsing pane widget is a container containing exactly one component. It provides a window bar across the top, and the contained component takes up the rest of the area. When the bar is clicked, the widget collapses to display just the window bar. When the bar is clicked again, the component is restored. This widget does not need to generate events. However, it does need to listen for events from the window bar and take action based on them.
The CollapsingPane class is a subclass of Panel. I install BorderLayout as its layout manager. The component that will be collapsible is installed in the center area, and the window bar is installed in the north.
class CollapsingPane extends Panel implements SwitchPaneListener { public CollapsingPane( Component c ) { setLayout( new BorderLayout() ) ; WindowBar bar = new WindowBar() ; add( "North", bar ) ; add( "Center", c ) ; bar.addCollapseListener( this ) ; } }
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

UW-Eau Claire Community Offers
Support During National Tragedy
MAILED: Sept. 11, 2001
EAU CLAIRE — Classes and scheduled activities at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire will continue today, recognizing the importance of students, faculty and staff coming together to offer one another support as today's national tragedy continues to unfold.
"Everyone is confused, stunned and affected by today's events," Chancellor Donald Mash said. "It's extremely important that we – as a campus community -- support one another, be it in a class, a meeting or in informal conversation.
"We think that we can be of most help to all members of the campus community by coming together as we struggle to deal with our emotions during this time of crisis."
Faculty are encouraged to conduct their classes in such ways to offer support to students and other members of the campus community, be that through conversation, gathering around a television or whatever else they think is appropriate, Mash said.
UW-Eau Claire administrators will continue to monitor the events and will provide additional updates via e-mail and the media as appropriate.

The Law Offices of Vincent Wong announce that a class action lawsuit has been commenced in the USDC for the Northern District of California on behalf of investors who purchased Thoratec Corporation ("Thoratec" or the "Company") (NasdaqGS: THOR) securities between April 29, 2010 and November 27, 2013.
The complaint alleges that the Company made materially false and/or misleading statements and omitted materially adverse facts regarding the Company's business, operations, and prospects. In particular, it is alleged that the Company failed to disclose that its HeartMate II Left Ventricular Assist Device held significant risk of pump thrombosis, causing numerous fatalities.
On April 4, 2012, a recall was issued on the Company's HeartMate II heart pumps over concern for a potentially deadly defect. On November 27, 2013, The New England Journal of Medicine released a study concluding that the "rate of pump thrombosis related to the use of the HeartMate II has been increasing at our centers and is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality."
If you suffered a loss in Thoratec you have until March 25, 2014 to request that the Court appoint you as lead plaintiff. Your ability to share in any recovery doesn't require that you serve as a lead plaintiff.
To receive more information regarding the investigation of Thoratec please fill out the form below.
The submission of this form does not create an attorney-client relationship, nor an obligation on the part of the Law Offices of Vincent Wong or you to file a lead plaintiff motion in this matter. Any information you submit will be maintained as confidential. If The Law Offices of Vincent Wong, in its sole discretion, believes that you might be an appropriate lead plaintiff candidate, The Law Offices of Vincent Wong will contact you to discuss the matter and whether to establish an attorney client relationship.
This letter confirms that you have retained the Law Offices of Vincent Wong to represent you in a shareholder action involving Thoratec Corporation.
We agree to advance all expenses in the litigation, which means that you are not liable to pay any of the expenses of the lawsuit, whether attorneys' fees or costs. Regardless of the result, we will never ask you to directly pay for any attorneys' fees or costs. Should we obtain a favorable result, we may ask the court to award us compensation to be paid by the defendants or as a portion of any class benefit, but, again, we will never ask you to directly pay any of the costs of this litigation.
As the client you are entitled to direct the litigation in any way you deem proper, and may at any time order us to dismiss the case or opt-out. Should you choose to do so, we will never ask you to reimburse us directly for any legal fees or expenses. During the course of this litigation, we may employ and/or work with other law firms to prosecute your case.
We look forward to representing you and other Thoratec Corporation shareholders.

MicroRNAs in Human Stem Cell Differentiation and Mental Disorders
Funding Type:
SEED Grant
Grant Number:
Award Value:
Disease Focus:
Neurological Disorders
Developmental Disorders
Stem Cell Use:
Embryonic Stem Cell
Public Abstract:
Many mental disorders are closely associated with problems that occur during brain development in early life. For instance, by 2 years of age, autistic children have larger brains than normal kids, likely due to, at least in part, excess production of neurons and support cells, the building blocks of the nervous system. In autistic brains, how neurons grow various thread-like processes also shows some abnormalities. The cause of autism is complex and likely involves many genetic factors. These developmental defects are also associated with mental disorders caused by single-gene mutations, such as Rett syndrome and fragile X syndrome, the most common form of inherited mental retardation, whose clinical features overlap with autism. However, what causes the developmental defects in brains of children with different mental disorders is largely unknown. In recent years, an exciting new regulatory pathway was discovered that may well contribute to the etiology of mental disorders. The major player in this novel pathway is a class of tiny molecules 21
Statement of Benefit to California:
California is the most populated state in the US and has a large number of patients suffering from various mental disorders. The proposed studies in this grant application will contribute to the mission of developing novel avenues through stem cell research for the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of mental disorders

Chassis and Traction Control/Stability Systems
Chassis and Traction Control/Stability Systems
- Dynamic Handling suspension
- The Dynamic Handling suspension alters the damping rates, accelerator response and shift points, all at the touch of a single button. The electronically controlled shock absorbers independently adjust for each wheel based on the current driving situation. A choice of Comfort and Sport settings lets you match the car's driving character to your mood.
- Steering type
- Rack-and-pinion with electromechanical power assist
- Turning circle
- 35.3 ft, curb-to-curb
Traction Control & Stability
- Electronic Stability Program (ESP®)
- This safety breakthrough first introduced by Mercedes-Benz continually monitors your driving inputs and the vehicle's motion to help keep it going in your intended direction, especially in corners and during evasive maneuvers. If it detects wheelspin, severe understeer (plowing), or oversteer (fishtailing), ESP® can brake individual wheels and reduce engine power to help bring the vehicle under control.[*4]
Brakes, Wheels, and Tires
Brakes, Wheels, and Tires
- Adaptive braking technology
- Adaptive braking technology integrates a suite of advances. If you lift off the accelerator quickly, Predictive Brake Priming sets the pads closer to the discs for more immediate response when you apply the brakes. In the rain, Automatic Brake Drying periodically applies the brakes just enough to sweep water build-up from the discs. During uphill starts, Hill-Start Assist helps prevent unwanted rollback. And a brake HOLD feature can make long red lights or stopped traffic a little easier.[*7]
- Antilock Braking System (ABS)
- ABS senses impending wheel lockup under heavy braking and pumps the front brakes individually or the rear brakes together. This intelligent system can pump the brakes as needed up to 30 times per second, to prevent lockup and preserve the driver's steering ability.
- Brake Assist (BAS®)
- Brake Assist senses emergency braking via the speed at which the driver presses the brake pedal and immediately applies maximum available power boost. Brake Assist can potentially reduce the overall stopping distance by eliminating the delay caused by a common human tendency not to brake hard enough, soon enough. Letting up on the brake pedal releases Brake Assist.[*7]
- Wheels
- 18-inch AMG® twin 5-spoke (8.0 x 18.0 front and 8.5 x 18.0 rear)
- Tires
- 235/40R18 front and 255/35R18 rear, all season
Safety and Security Systems
Safety and Security Systems
Safety Features
- The first system of its kind, ATTENTION ASSIST continuously monitors different parameters of driving behavior, and can automatically alert the driver with both visual and audible warnings if it detects signs of drowsiness on long trips.
- Another Mercedes-Benz safety breakthrough, PRE-SAFE® can detect instability during certain vehicle maneuvers that suggest a collision or rollover is imminent. It can then tighten the seat belts, adjust the occupied front passenger seat, and close the side windows, all in an effort to better prepare the occupants in the moments before a collision. If no accident occurs, you simply readjust your seat, reopen the windows, and continue on your way.[*8]
- Mercedes-Benz mbrace®
- From your car, your computer or your compatible smartphone, mbrace2™ offers the industry's most comprehensive range of features for more connected, safe and productive drive time. From making your everyday life easier to helping out in an emergency, mbrace2 combines advanced cloud-based and GPS technology with 24-hour support from helpful experts. Three mbrace packages are offered, and every 2014 Mercedes-Benz includes a 6-month mbrace trial subscription.
Restraint Systems
- Integrated Restraint System
- An advanced system of 9 air bags offers 11-way occupant protection. Dual two-stage front air bags, front side-impact air bags, front pelvic air bags, a driver's knee air bag, and side curtain air bags for both seating rows are standard.[*5]
- Side curtain air bags
- In a side impact exceeding a preset threshold, a multi-chamber air bag deploys along the front and rear side windows on the affected side of the vehicle. An integrated rollover sensor automatically deploys the ETDs and, if deemed necessary, the side curtain air bags in the event of a detected rollover.[*5]
- Seat belt technology
- Arguably our most important passive safety feature, all four 3-point seat belts are equipped with Emergency Tensioning Devices (ETDs) to instantly remove slack If a collision exceeds a preset threshold. Belt force limiters allow a slight amount of give in the seat belts, to reduce the peak seat-belt forces on the occupant. Front seat-belt presenters automatically extend when the door is closed, to make it easier for the occupants to fasten their belts.
- Occupant Classification System (OCS)
- OCS automatically turns the front passenger's front air bag on or off and adjusts the air bag inflation rate based on the weight category determined by weight sensor readings from the front passenger seat.[*6]
- NECK-PRO front head restraints
- In the case of a rear impact exceeding a preset threshold, NECK-PRO front head restraints move forward and slightly upward, reducing the distance between the head restraints and the heads of front-seat occupants. This action helps to reduce the possibility or severity of whiplash-type neck injuries.
- ISOFIX / Universal LATCH system (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children)
- Standardized child-seat attachments are provided at both rear seating positions. Selectable passenger seat-belt retractors help secure child seats.[*5]
Locking & Security
- SmartKey
- The SmartKey remote control integrates remote door locks and trunk opener, a removable valet key, and a remote panic alarm. You may selectively unlock only the driver's door and fuel filler, or both doors plus the trunk and fuel filler.
- Locator lighting
- Locator lighting uses the car's lights to help illuminate a return path when the car is remote-unlocked in darkness. Unlocking the car also activates the illuminated entry system.
- Emergency trunk opener
- An emergency release lever is located inside the trunk and illuminated for 60 minutes after the trunk lid is closed.
- Night security Illumination
- Night security illumination uses the car's exterior lights to help illuminate a path after parking.
- Driver-programmable driveaway locking
- Automatically locks the doors when the car reaches 9 mph.
- Antitheft alarm with remote panic feature
- The standard antitheft alarm system is armed automatically when you lock your Mercedes from the outside. It sounds the horn and flashes the exterior lights if a door, the trunk or the hood is opened without first unlocking the vehicle. You can also sound the alarm by pressing the red "panic" button on your SmartKey remote when you're within range of your vehicle.
- Integrated 3-button garage door control
- Compatible with HomeLink® components and some other systems.
- mbrace Remote Door Unlock
- Allows remote unlocking of the vehicle via the mbrace Mobile App or via telephone.
- mbrace GPS-based Stolen Vehicle Recovery
- Helps law enforcement agencies track and recover stolen vehicles.
- mbrace Antitheft Alarm Notification
- Alerts Mercedes-Benz to contact vehicle owner if antitheft alarm sounds.

My Morning Jacket frontman Jim James has always stayed busy outside the confines of his main band, but up until now, he's never released a proper solo album, one released under his own name. That changes next week, when James gives us Regions Of Light And Sound Of God, a concept album built around a graphic novel that's nearly a century old. James engineered his own album and played every instrument on it, and we've already heard two of its songs, "Know Til Now" and "A New Life." And now, the whole album is streaming online; listen to it below.
(via NPR)
Regions Of Light And Sound Of God is out 2/5 on ATO.

China Mobile Internet Use Gains Sophistication, Hits Roadblocks
China is one of the fastest-growing, largest mobile markets in the world.
Two new studies from Forrester Research and mobile developer-services platform Umeng delve into the unique characteristics of this continuously growing industry, including how consumers deal with the lack of high-speed data service and how social sharing plays a role in many apps.
According to Forrester's report, China had 411 million mobile Internet users in 2013, or 67% of the country's online population. And the country had 700 million smart connected devices by the end of 2013, according to the Umeng study.
Umeng also found that, in the fourth quarter of 2013, 59% of new device purchases came from existing mobile users upgrading or replacing their devices. Many are turning to higher-end devices, with 27% of smartphones in China costing more than $500. And 80% of those devices are iPhones.
Data from both reports shows that the mobile Internet industry in China is becoming more sophisticated and consumers are using their devices for a range of activities. Of mobile Internet users, Forrester found, those in metro areas, or tier-one and tier-two cities in China, are the most desirable. These users access the Internet via their mobile devices more often that metro users in the United States and United Kingdom, with 56% saying they do so more than once a day.
Additionally, 92% of consumers say they access the Internet via their mobile device weekly or more, compared to 67% of US consumers. They also are more likely to send or receive instant messages, use applications, and send or receive personal emails than their US counterparts.
And according to Umeng, the fastest-growing areas of applications (excluding games) are news, which grew 275%, health care, with a growth rate of 220%, and social networking, which grew by 212%.
While social networking apps, as a category, continue to grow in popularity, social sharing is another way Chinese consumers are becoming more sophisticated in their mobile Internet use, according to Umeng. Of the top 1,000 apps in China, 46% allow for social sharing, and 55% of the top 100 do.
Social sharing promotes these apps on social networks, and apps often reward users for sharing their experiences with friends. Both games and photography applications are popular for sharing. Umeng reported that, between March and November 2013, it observed 8,600% growth in social sharing of mobile apps on social site WeChat and a 2,900% increase on QQZone.
But even as Chinese users expand their mobile activities, availability of wireless data service remains a problem. Umeng reported that 4G service only became available in China in 2013 and, as of December 2013, only 1% of app launches happened over 4G. The end of 2013 saw the first push of 4G from mobile carriers in China, and Forrester went into more depth on how these challenges are impacting the ways Chinese consumers interact with their mobile devices and mobile Internet.
This issue is mitigated somewhat by Wi-Fi use, which accounts for 44% of Chinese mobile Internet time, according to Forrester, with 31% on 2G connections and 23% on 3G. Plus, only 24% of consumers said they use public Wi-Fi and hotspots with their phones. Marketers and app developers must remember this in creating lighter applications that can be used on slower speeds, like mobile messaging applications.
Mobile Internet use in China is, like mobile use in general, a fast-growing and unique space. More consumers are joining in and their use is becoming more mature. But consumers – and app developers and marketers – must navigate the challenges associated with lack of mobile data in order to thrive. The introduction of 4G in 2013 should push this industry forward, and as it moves ahead, marketing and advertising in the space will grow.

A large number of illnesses stem from misfolded proteins, molecules composed of amino acids. Researchers at the University of Zurich have now studied protein misfolding using a special spectroscopic technique. Misfolding, as they report in Nature, is more frequent if the sequence of the amino acids in the neighboring protein domains is very similar

Footwear remains the foundation of personal comfort. In short, if your dogs aren't happy, the benefits of all that high-tech uniform apparel you're wearing will seem insignificant.
Although law enforcement duties are very diverse, many of us spend a good part of our workday on our feet and highly functional, comfortable footwear goes a long way in keeping our minds on the business at hand.
Last year, I checked out Danner's Tachyon boot, a lightweight design optimized for training and special operations. The Tachyon incorporated a number of in-demand features and quickly became a personal favorite.
GTX's Broader Appeal
Recently, Danner introduced an enhanced version of the Tachyon which will — no doubt — have even broader appeal. The Tachyon GTX shares many of the same features, but with a 500 Denier nylon and leather upper, complete with a polishable toe.
Best of all, the Tachyon GTX is 100 percent waterproof and its breathable GORE-TEX liner will keep your feet dry and comfortable.
The Tachyon GTX is available in a wide range of sizes, in both standard and wide widths. A speed lacing system and durable brass hardware ensure a snug fit, an important quality when engaging in vigorous physical activity.
The Tachyon GTX is just slightly heavier than the original Tachyon and tips the scales at 35 ounces. Unlike other lightweight boots, the Tachyon GTX has a true rubber sole for superior abrasion resistance and traction.
I did have some concerns as to what sort of pounding my feet would endure over a long day with the Tachyon GTX. I'm pleased to report that the lightweight design did not prove to be problematic.
An open-cell polyurethane footbed with an EVA cushioning midsole dissipates the shock transmitted to the feet and I've had no problem wearing these boots over long 12 hour days. The outsole features Danner's proprietary pentagonal lugs for maximum surface contact and to prevent slipping.
The true test of any boot is how they hold up and feel after several months of wear. I'm pleased to report the Tachyon GTX passed with flying colors.
Although they wouldn't be my first choice for harsh winter weather, they kept my feet warm and dry negotiating the slushy streets of the urban jungle. Where they really shine, is in the warmer weather and I especially like the fact that I can pack one pair of boots for my extended road trips.
If a lightweight, yet highly functional pair of boots strikes a chord with you, be sure to check out the Danner Tachyon 8-inch Black GTX.

4/16/12 "Smoking London Performance @ 12 Bar Club"!
Wow!…Just returned home from a "quick and exhausting" trip to London and a KILLER solo appearance at The 12 Bar Club in London on Denmark St, to promote my new blues CD release on Cargo Records entitled "Tattoo Burn".
The 12 Bar Club reminded me of a New York club called "CBGB" I use to hang out at long time ago. In attendance were my loyal London fans, record company, booking agent and PR company… and my life time friend "Ciro" who in his "grande style" brought along his bevy of friends including some of London's beautiful models! I loved this performance as it was solo, and I could stop and tell the stories of each song I performed off the new CD like; "Greens and Barbecue," "Mojo Black Coffee" and the CD's tittle track "Tattoo Burn". Of course I had to perform a few of my Jimi Hendrix faves such as "Red House"(NOTE: on the Tattoo Burn CD my mate Bill Wyman from The Rolling Stones plays bass recorded LIVE in Hyde Park) and "Voodoo Chile" (slight return). I also had an excellent bassist I met at Ciros Pomodoro restaurant in Knightsbridge named "Franco" join me as well for a few songs and he was as they say in the UK; in "top form"! For my fans who couldn't be there…well the rumor is I will be back in London July 6th performing with…WELL!!!….I can't tell you that until it's TOTALLY confirmed!!!
Below are quotes from a "few good friends" and one from "yours truly" used in a London press release which accurately describes how they feel about me and how I feel about my connection with the blues;
"I'm not into guitar technique and or speed. I am a simple "blues-rock inspired guitarist", influenced by the greats that came before me; Muddy Waters, Albert King, John Lee Hooker, Billy Gibbons and Jimi Hendrix to name a few. I am only interested in the outcome of my guitar playing in connection with my songwriting or a good "free form jam"….did it move my audience and listeners, did we connect on the level of music" -Micki Free
"Micki Free, is a multi-talented maker of mad machinations in a most mesmerizing manner" -The Rev. Billy F. Gibbons, ZZ Top
"Jimi Hendrix rides again!" – Bill Wyman (who performs with Micki on a version of 'Red House' on the album)
"Micki Free is not a Jimi Hendrix impersonator, but a Jimi Hendrix innovator," -Gene Simmons
I used one of my favorite guitars for this performance, my Gibson Custom Shop NAMM 1961 Korina Flying V, and it didn't let me down! I performed songs from "Tattoo Burn" CD as well as songs from my other solo works as well such as my hit "Wounded Knee". Here is the Cargo Records link for the CD as a digital download; http://www.cargorecords.co.uk/release/18882
Hope to see everyone soon,
Cheers….Micki Free

Sohu Pops on Persuasive Qihoo Rumors
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Sohu.com ( SOHU) was popping more than 5.5% to $64.04 in afternoon trades Monday, with volumes nearly doubling on rising Chinese media speculation over the last few days that the company's Sogou search business has become the takeover target of Chinese internet companies Qihoo 360 Technology ( QIHU), Baidu.com ( BIDU) and Tencent.
The potential buyers were all down more than 2% Monday. Of the three, Qihoo is rumored to be the most serious bidder for Sogou, offering $1.4 billion in cash and stock, as this relatively new entrant to the Chinese search market seeks to build up its search volumes, search technologies and sales force through Sogou. The combined forces of Qihoo and Sogou could boost their search volume to nearly 20% of all search volume in China, according to Oppenheimer data, and increase their bidding power over advertisers.
"Qihoo can get the most synergies out of the combination," said Andy Yeung, an analyst at Oppenheimer & Co. in New York. "The combination would make Sohu's Sogou business and Qihu's search business a more credible competitor to Baidu."
Baidu, which is rumored to be willing to pay even more for Sogou, would likely not have too much to gain on the technology side and ad sales network side through the purchase, but would benefit from Sogou's popular pinyin Chinese input technology. "For Baidu, I think this would be a logically defensive move," Yeung commented.Likewise, Tencent already has an ad sales network so there would be redundancy there in an acquisition. However, the purchase would bring Sogou's pinyin input technology to Tencent's mobile side and push it to the top two or three position in the Chinese internet search space. "Close to a double-digit market share," said Yeung. Follow @atwtse Written by Andrea Tse in New York >To contact the writer of this article, click here: Andrea Tse.

Senator Barbara Boxer said: "I am very disappointed that Speaker Boehner is even talking about a long-term transportation extension, which would lead to the Highway Trust Fund going bankrupt, when all of our efforts must be focused on passing a transportation bill by the June 30th deadline. Three million jobs and thousands of businesses are at stake."

Definitions for SchiZophreniaˌskɪt səˈfri ni ə, -ˈfrin yə
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word SchiZophrenia
Random House Webster's College Dictionary
schiz•o•phre•ni•aˌskɪt səˈfri ni ə, -ˈfrin yə(n.)
a severe mental disorder associated with brain abnormalities and typically evidenced by disorganized speech and behavior, delusions, and hallucinations.
Category: Psychiatry
Origin of schizophrenia:
< G Schizophrenie (1910); see schizo -, -phrenia
Princeton's WordNet
schizophrenia, schizophrenic disorder, schizophrenic psychosis, dementia praecox(noun)
any of several psychotic disorders characterized by distortions of reality and disturbances of thought and language and withdrawal from social contact
A psychiatric diagnosis denoting a persistent, often chronic, mental illness variously affecting behavior, thinking, and emotion.
Any condition in which disparate or mutually exclusive activities coexist.
Schizophrenia is a mental disorder characterized by a breakdown of thought processes and by a deficit of typical emotional responses. Common symptoms include auditory hallucinations, paranoid or bizarre delusions, or disorganized speech and thinking, and it is accompanied by significant social or occupational dysfunction. The onset of symptoms typically occurs in young adulthood, with a global lifetime prevalence of about 0.3–0.7%. Diagnosis is based on observed behavior and the patient's reported experiences. Genetics, early environment, neurobiology, and psychological and social processes appear to be important contributory factors; some recreational and prescription drugs appear to cause or worsen symptoms. Current research is focused on the role of neurobiology, although no single isolated organic cause has been found. The many possible combinations of symptoms have triggered debate about whether the diagnosis represents a single disorder or a number of discrete syndromes. Despite the etymology of the term from the Greek roots skhizein and phrēn, phren-, schizophrenia does not imply a "split personality", or "multiple personality disorder" —a condition with which it is often confused in public perception. Rather, the term means a "splitting of mental functions", because of the symptomatic presentation of the illness.
U.S. National Library of Medicine
A severe emotional disorder of psychotic depth characteristically marked by a retreat from reality with delusion formation, HALLUCINATIONS, emotional disharmony, and regressive behavior.

There are a few new titles in our collection with a wonderful whimsy that makes them worth sharing, whether with your children, your classroom, or a child who may be having an upcoming birthday.
The first title in Rachel Bright's new picture book series introduces us to an admittedly funny looking monster. Love Monster knows that he isn't the best-looking guy in the world, but he's determined to find someone who will love him. Adults will know that this doesn't work, and will appreciate that he's reading all the wrong self-help books, looking in the wrong places (up, down, the pond), yet, as one can always hope, just when one is about ready to give up, love is around the corner. There will be two more titles in a series intended for preschoolers and anyone reading to or with them.
Natalie Lloyd's debut introduces readers to Felicity Pickle in A Snicker of Magic. The Pickles have always moved from place to place, as Felicity's mother has never been comfortable staying anywhere; it isn't until the Pickles get to Midnight Gulch, Tennessee, a town that had once been known for its magic, that Felicity finds herself longing to create a home for her family. Felicity herself has a touch of magic in her ability to see words emanating from people, which she then collects. Felicity meets her first real friend Jonah, who has a kind of magic of his own. Felicity sets out to discover what happened to Midnight Gulch's magic and whether she can, perhaps, bring it back, along with some security to her own family.
The denizens of this wonderful place are all as novel as you would expect in a place where ice cream has mystical properties, and the hair stylists are also mechanics. Felicity's appreciation of and use of language add to the book, and the extra tales, curse, and backstories will provide a treat for readers aged 8-12 who enjoys stories about language, families, and clever settings, along with a happy ending.

Shipwrecks examines the hunt for shipwrecks and the valuable treasures they hold, whether that be gold and jewels, or important artifacts that offer us a window on to the past. Part of the Treasure Hunters series, Shipwrecks offers a crosscurricular mix of science & technology and history, with a fun, dramatic approach. Shipwrecks covered in the book include the Tudor Warship the Mary Rose, the Spanish Galleon La Nuestra Senora de Atocha, American Civil War ship SS Republic, and the Titanic: the most famous shipwreck of all. The book also looks at the motives for these searches, and the importance of responsible archaeology: were the treasure hunters driven by personal greed or glory, or did they embark on their quest with a historical interest and a desire to preserve the lost treasures?

A government-appointed panel will meet on Thursday to discuss amendments to the contentious Section 66A of the Information Technology Act. In fact, it will be the first meeting of the cyber regulation advisory committee ever since it was formed 12 years ago as part of the IT Act, 2000, to check cyber crime.
The need to amend Section 66A arose as it was felt that not only it is harsh, it is also vague in defining crime. For instance, it provides for imprisonment for sending information which is �menacing in character�, used to cause �inconvenience�, �hatred� and �annoyance�.
The 20-member panel headed by communications and IT minister Kapil Sibal will discuss recent cases like those of West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee getting a professor arrested for �maligning� her over a cartoon, Karti Chidambaram�s complaint that an industrialist posted �offensive� posts against him on Twitter and the latest case of two girls being arrested for Facebook comments on Bal Thackeray�s demise.
Section 66A of the amended Act provides for imprisonment of up to three years and fine for sending spam or unsolicited emails. �The meeting is taking place now because cyber rules were made earlier but no one understood their implications then. With an increase in the number of such cases, amending the section has become important,� said an official who will participate in the meeting.
The Section has faced the cyber experts� ire, who say it is misused and misinterpreted because it defines offences which are open to any interpretation.
�The section questions the fundamental right of speech and expression. The problem is first in the law and then its interpretation. It began with noble intentions but it can be used and stretched to any level considering the way it has been drafted. The IT Act is a technology legislation which needs to be amended constantly,� said Pavan Duggal, advocate, Supreme Court.
Sibal had earlier said that there had been abuse of the Section, but there is a need to law enforcement agencies sensitive and �it is not the intent of this law that any innocuous statement is liable to be acted upon ...arbitrary arrests can�t be made�.
Analysts estimate that eight out of 10 cases of violation of the Section are of legitimate speech or people voicing legitimate opinions which is not illegal.
�The law is misused because there is a difference between the intent of the person drafting and finally implementing it,� added an official

The child star turned A-list actress has always been intensely personal regarding her private life and the paternity of her two sons (both of whom she gave birth to). She never officially commented on her relationship with film producer Cydney Bernard until she thanked her during a speech in 2007. (The pair reportedly split the next year.) But it wasn't until the 2013 Golden Globes that Jodie Foster publically and proudly acknowledged her sexuality: "I already did my coming out about a thousand years ago in the Stone Age," she said in her acceptance speech for the Cecil B. DeMille Award. "But now apparently every celebrity is expected to expose the details of their private life with a press conference, a fragrance and a primetime reality show." The moving speech brought the crowd to tears.

Confronting doubtsAugust 31,2014An op-ed piece appearing in these pages last Sunday has struck a nerve among advocates for the single-payer health care plan that is due to be unveiled this January.
Paul Ralston, a Democratic House member from Middlebury who is not running for re-election, warned that the poor performance of Vermont Health Connect, the states new health care exchange, has created doubts about the states ability to manage a new single-payer plan. He warned legislators against becoming lemmings marching to the sea in a mindless embrace of a plan that would not work.
The common thread among responses has been that the exchange and the single-payer system are two separate and quite different projects and the purpose of single payer is to avoid the complications that have made the exchange such a mess.
Meanwhile, those designing the new system have many variables to juggle as they develop a plan that provides affordable, universal, comprehensive coverage for all Vermonters. And in some areas there is good news that might bode well for the future of health care and for single payer.
A story last week in The New York Times charted the changing forecasts for the growth in spending for Medicare. For the past six years forecasts for Medicare spending have steadily declined so that the difference between the current forecast for spending in 2019 and the forecast for that year that was made four years ago is $95 billion. The shrinking cost estimates for future Medicare spending mean that future federal deficits can also be expected to shrink.
Vermonts single-payer system is not Medicare. But shrinking costs for Medicare could well be an indicator of shrinking costs more generally in health care. And cost projections about health care spending in Vermont will help determine whether legislators face a lemming-like leap off a cliff or a steady march toward affordable, universal care.
Health care officials are well aware of the importance of containing costs, and many projects are under way, with some success, in bending the cost curve downward. Initiatives to manage chronic illnesses more effectively are helping to restrain spending for costly conditions such as diabetes or heart disease. Widening awareness of the danger of obesity has allowed physicians to focus on improving health rather than merely racking up a steadily growing tally of treatments for Vermonters worsening health.
The many moving parts of the health care system will require constant attention by state health officials. Thomas Huebner, president of Rutland Regional Medical Center, testified before the Green Mountain Care Board that he suspects high-deductible health care plans for which people have signed up on Vermont Health Connect have led to increased patient debt. He said he saw increased hospital usage before those plans kicked in because, he surmised, patients didnt want to pay high deductibles for the treatments they needed.
If Huebners suspicions about the high-deductible plans are valid, it would be an indicator that Vermont Health Connect is failing to achieve one of the major goals of health care reform freeing consumers from high-deductible plans that do no good for the policyholder.
One of the conditions for a workable single-payer plan is that it is affordable. Affordability means that health care costs will have to be contained and that the cost to taxpayers does not become overly burdensome. Supporters of single payer say that unless these conditions can be met a plan will not be enacted. And yet decisions about going forward may hinge on judgment calls about what is an affordable tax and how fast we expect costs to rise.
There are unintended consequences. Another New York Times report showed how the expansion of Medicaid coverage under Obamacare has led to a booming new demand for mental health care and that lack of sufficient providers in Kentucky has led to long wait times. A wait time of that sort might be characterized as rationing, except before Obamacare, there was often no line to wait in. Now at least there is a line.
Forward-thinking policymaking requires a willingness to embrace the complexity of the task. The health care system is in flux, with much promise for major improvements. To achieve those breakthroughs we cannot become timid before the inevitable problems and doubts. Nor can we remain dogmatic about a desired solution.
The state and nation have embarked on a grand endeavor to fix a system that has become cruelly distorted by market forces, greed, haphazard growth and the unwillingness of the people to believe in their power to achieve great ends. Doubt is natural and useful as long as it does not become transformed into paralyzing fear.MORE IN PerspectiveHeres the puzzle the Legislature must solve regarding education finance reform: How do you lower...

Usdaw's Freedom From Fear Campaign
seeks to prevent violence, threats and abuse against shopworkers.
This year we organised a Respect for Shopworkers Week to highlight
these important issues and also, as we head towards the
General Election next May, we wanted to make sure that politicians
recognise the need for there to be a change in the law to give
shopworkers better protection from assault.
This year, as well as continuing to
collect information on the reporting of incidents, we need your
help to find
out how the most serious incidents are dealt with, whether they are
reported to the police and if so, how good
was the response.
Most importantly, shopworkers need a
new law protecting them from assault. It is completely unacceptable
for them to be physically attacked when they are simply doing
their jobs. Four times this year, Labour MPs and Peers have
tried to give shopworkers the legal protection they need and each
time this Government has blocked these proposals. With the
General Election next year, we are calling on Labour Mps and
candidates to stand up for our members by supporting us in our call
for a new law and in Scotland we are calling on MSPs to
consider similar legislation.
We would like you to get involved this
year by helping to deliver a high profile campaign in your area.
You can help by:
You can also follow the campaign
through our facebook
For more details on how to get
involved in these activities, please see the campaign briefing and

Reusable reward systems
AJ of Thingamababy reminds us that toddler rewards (for potty sitting, toothbrushing, etc.) can be as simple as drawing an "X" on a calendar. The trick is finding out what motivates your kid, and then letting the reward do its job -- don't oversell it.
Jill's potty training reward system prompted a great discussion on this topic just last month. So many creative ideas!

Rocket Languages
When learning a foreign language, spoken conversation is one of the most important skills—and one of the most difficult to master. That's why Rocket Languages' online courses focus on listening comprehension and pronunciation, rather than dry written work, using techniques that let students learn a new tongue in as little as half the time of traditional teaching methods. No matter what their experience level, students can practice chit-chatting in one of 12 available languages, including Hindi, Mandarin, Spanish, and Italian, or engage with English-as-a-second-language courses designed for native Spanish or Japanese speakers. With lifetime access to their chosen courses, participants have unlimited chances to practice more than 30 interactive audio activities per level, and time to take in enrichment lessons on cultural topics, such as how to cook a country's cuisine or identify its soil by mouthfeel. Though the lessons are administered online, they don't lack a human element: a native speaker hosts each course, bilingually guiding students through the material.
Rocket Languages had been positively reviewed by The New York Times even before a major 2012 upgrade that introduced games and apps that are compatible with iPhones, iPads, and Android tablets and smartphones. Since then, these interactive improvements have garnered an Editors' Choice award from PCMag and a BESSIE Award for Best Foreign Language software. Popular features include Rocket Record, where users can record their pronunciation of phrases and compare them to recordings of their tutor saying the same phrase, and a progress tracker where students can compare their progress to other students in the same level.
"Well worth the purchase price. The ability to download the lessons and take them with me offline is fantastic and the lessons are fantiastic. "
"Easy to use and it helps you learn very fast. "
"This is a fun and easy way to learn a new language."

Summer LEAP clinic hopes to raise expectations of students and teachers
Sixty-seven Eau Claire area students are attending this year's Learning Enhancement and Progression clinic, a collaborative program of the UW-Eau Claire special education department and the Eau Claire Area School District. For more than 20 years, the six-week LEAP clinic has provided instruction in reading, mathematics, written expression, spelling, study skills and social skills to K-12 students who need extra assistance.
Special Education Professor Vicki Snider, who is co-directing the LEAP clinic with Laura O'Keefe, a special education lecturer, said that while one of their goals is to produce an immediate, noticeable increase in the reading level and overall academic achievement of the students, another one of their goals can have even more lasting, long-term consequences — "We really want to increase everyone's expectations concerning what these students and their teachers can achieve," said Snider.
Snider believes that when students don't perform well in their traditional classrooms because of learning disabilities or other problems, the most problematic result can be the diminishing expectations of both the students and their teachers. In other words, success can breed more success, while failure tends to breed more failure.
The 25 UW-Eau Claire graduate and undergraduate students teaching at the clinic are using several techniques to help raise everyone's expectations. Full story.
Twelve UW-Eau Claire students now studying in Thailand
Seventeen students from UW System schools, including 12 from UW-Eau Claire, are currently in Thailand, taking part in another new summer study abroad program that will help prepare students to live and work in a global society.
Riverbank project moves forward
Portions of one lane of Garfield Avenue on lower campus and the Putnam parking lot at the base of the campus hill also will be closed to vehicular traffic for approximately five weeks, Classen said.
"We know it will be difficult for some people to get around parts of lower campus for a period of time but we have no choice," Classen said. "We must limit traffic as the riverbank project continues."
In January, trees and other vegetation were cleared from the project site, which includes 1,200 feet of riverbank along Garfield Avenue from the pedestrian bridge to the Putnam parking lot. Removing the vegetation in the winter strengthened the riverbank in preparation for the next phase of the project. Full story.
Flutist Peter Phippen to perform free outdoor concert Monday
A professional musician for the past 25 years, Phippen spent his early career days as a bass guitarist and recording artist. But in 1987 his first flute — a 25-cent bamboo whistle — found its way into his hands, and wooden flutes became his solo instrument of choice. Full story.
Also plan to attend "Fargo" (1996), a Coen brothers film playing Tuesday and Thursday at noon and 7 p.m. in Davies Theatre.
Summer Session Programs continue through Aug. 5. A complete schedule of events is available online.
UW-Eau Claire Children's Center receives national accreditation
The Children's Center was recently granted accreditation by the National Association for the Education of Young Children, a designation the program has held since 1987.
This recognition has been achieved by about only 8,000 early childhood programs nationwide and just four programs in Eau Claire.
"We are pleased to again receive accreditation, which is a thorough, voluntary process where early childhood programs need to demonstrate that they meet national standards of excellence," said Becky Wurzer, director of UW-Eau Claire Children's Center, adding that the center is committed to ongoing evaluation and improvement. Full story.
A look back at history
Last week, a representative from the U.S. Department of Education presented a $1 million grant to UW-Eau Claire, CESA 10 and 11 and the Chippewa Valley Museum. The grant will fund an innovative UW-Eau Claire program that will help more than 200 elementary and secondary teachers from 39 Wisconsin school districts learn new ways to teach American history.

Leaving Home
I left my brother's home to save my dog and our relationship.
Neither one of us respected each other anymore and being who I am, I needed to pull back before I decorated the walls with his teeth. Walls made in the 50s out of steel that let you hang pictures with magnets and move them in an instant; tucked securely in a neighborhood on my favorite street in the town I grew up in. A wide and slightly winding road that local elementary schools use as part of a historical field trip, overgrown with maple's and oaks that stretch to the moon and back, casting shadows like clouds and creating a dome that echoed safety and sung delicately: "Home."
Wearing out your welcome is like wearing out a pair of jeans.
A few holes is fine, even preferred, but once the crotch is gone you better pitch em', otherwise every time you wear them, all anyone can think of is "what an ass." I supported my brother while he finished college and he supported my when I started CrossFit. If it was a transaction, you could say we were even. As children we defined ourselves early and well; him the boy that would become a great father and husband, me lucky to avoid prison. You can always tell the ones, like my brother, who'll be great family men from the ones, like me, who won't. Some people can just cook, others burn toast.
From the white picket fence that fell at the kiss of a breeze, to the scorching porch that doubled as a first story roof, I adored everything about that little sky blue house. Leaving it was grueling, but it was worth it.
My dog, the one I loved more than any home and most humans, died a year later. Leaving bought me a year's worth of walks in the country and cleaning his drool when I made dinner. Missing my metal mansion on my favorite street makes me despise the place I live now more by the day, but I'm thankful I have somewhere to sleep that's not the ground, and most importantly, I still have a relationship with my brother that could have ended if I wasn't willing to make the hard choice.
The best decisions are the hardest to make and the most painful to follow through with. We don't appreciate them until much later, when we're different people who value others more than things.
