Michael Arndt Confirmed To Write 'Star Wars: Episode VII'
LucasFilm has confirmed through the official 'Star Wars' website – appropriately titled StarWars.Com – that the award-winning writer Michael Arndt will pen the screenplay for the new 'Star Wars' film, 'Star Wars: Episode VII.' As revealed in the ongoing video series posted here, Kathleen Kennedy and George Lucas have begun story conferences with Arndt. Arndt won an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay for writing 'Little Miss Sunshine' (2006), and was nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay for writing 'Toy Story 3′ (2010). The Pixar favourite also wrote both 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' and the Tom Cruise-starring 'Oblivion,' which are currently shooting.
Yesterday it was reported that Michael Arndt has written a 40 to 50 page treatment for 'Star Wars: Episode VII,' which begins shooting in 2014. While LucasFilm and Disney have confirmed Arndt's involvement with the film, it hasn't been confirmed that the studio want to bring back the three central characters of the original 'Star Wars': a much older Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, and Han Solo. It was reported along with the news of Arndt's involvement that the studio has high ambitions to sign up Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford to return to their respective roles. 'Star Wars: Episode VII' is slated for a 2015 release. Expect more news soon.

Welcome to the first Perl 6 summary of the new 'Copious Free Time enabled' era, which should mean that these summaries will get mailed out on Monday evening from now on.
We start, as usual, with perl6-internals
The eval patch
Leopold Tötsch continued to work on making eval
and its
associated operators work and asked for some opinions about a problem
he was having with jumps between code segments. Jason Gloudon played
sounding board and the two of them found a way forward.
The Parrot crashes
Dan announced that Parrot was crashing big time under (at least) OS X, throwing segfaults in the NCI mark routine. Other people contributed reports of what was happening on their platform and Leo Tötsch tried to track down the error, working on the assumption that it was something to do with his eval patch as that was the last patch that had gone in.
Later in the week Dan realised that part of the problem with OS X was a problem with imclexer.c, an autogenerated file being generated with bad code. Leo reckoned it was a problem with something having been multiply defined, which had since been fixed.
Still later in the week, Steve Fink offered some analysis on the NCI mark routine and a patch which attempted to fix the problems he saw with it. Leo reckoned that the patch wasn't quite right, but the analysis was good and used that to fix the problem and discovered in the process that the parrot build process's dependency analysis wasn't quite up to the mark. (I don't think there's a fix for that yet, but at least we know the problem exists...)
Compiling to Parrot
K Stol is looking for a final project for his Bachelor's degree and would like to implement some language targeting Parrot and asked for suggestions. Simon Wistow suggested PHP or Lua, Leon Brocard suggested Java (though Gopal V wasn't sure that was such a good idea just yet). Dan suggested that, just because someone else was already working on a TCL compiler it didn't mean it wasn't worth trying anyway, but apparently it would have been unlikely to get approval as a Bachelor's project. There was some further discussion of Lua and whether there would be any real point in implementing it and the thread died down before Mr Stol told anyone what he'd decided to do, which was rather a shame I thought.
Extending the packfile format
Some months ago, Jürgen Bömmels offered a patch to extend the Parrot packfile format whilst retaining backward compatibility. This week, after a little modification, Leo Tötsch applied it. James Mastros wondered if it didn't make sense (at least before parrot 1.0) to ignore backward compatibility issues and just make it right. Leo and Dan agreed, but Leo pointed out that, at least until the switch from assemble.pl to IMCC was complete, maintaining backward compatibility was the right thing. (So, if you're currently using assemble.pl to assemble your language, consider moving it to IMCC sooner rather than later).
The long running Objects thread
Discussions continued. A good deal of time this week was spent discussing the overrideablility (there's got to be better word than that...) of OO method dispatch for different languages (and at a language level too I hope -- I like flexibility). Python for instance seems to require that every step in the process be subject to override. Dan pointed out that dispatch would end up being implemented as vtable methods on per language Object PMCs so that messages from one language's objects to another's would use the target language's dispatch rules. Which seems rather cute (in a good way).
http://groups.google.com/groups -- Christopher Armstrong talks about Python
http://groups.google.com/groups -- Dan on how it works.
Intersegment branching
Leo Tötsch added a new opcode for intersegment branches, called
which was his implementation of the fix that he and Jason
Gloudon had discussed while talking about problems with eval
. Dan
didn't think Parrot needed this and that we could just use a plain
jump. Leo pointed out that there were several places where this didn't
quite work, especially in the presence of JIT optimization. Dan didn't
think that didn't mean it wouldn't work, but reckoned that the cases
Leo pointed out were reasons he wanted to see intersegment jumps
mediated by subroutine calls. Leo followed up to this with an
example. I can't for the life of me tell if this was a counter
example, a suggestion or what though.
This reemerged as a new thread with the subject 'Transferring control
between code segments'. Dan opened the thread by discussing the design
perspective and laying down a few edicts. He went on to discuss the
issues that Leo's 'phenomenally cool' compile
opcode has exposed in
his earlier handwaving and replaced the handwaves with more detail.
People were generally happy to see this, but there were a few small issues with it which weren't explicitly resolved this week.
http://groups.google.com/groups -- Design issues
Bytecode Metadata
Dan responded to the earlier discussion of extending the packfile format by opening a discussion of the type of metadata that might be useful to have in either the on disk packfile or in memory bytecode. He reminded everyone that parrot may have to ignore (or at least mistrust) the metadata and opened the floor suggestions.
James Michael DuPont came up with a proposal involving RDF which Dan thought might well be overkill (albeit interesting overkill) since he had been thinking more about metadata that would be used by the engine itself or provided to programs running on it.
Various other suggestions were made, and it's apparent that one immutable design guideline is that any bytecode format for Parrot must allow for executable code to be mmapped in.
Leo Tötsch has a patch implementing a simplified API for generating packfiles and wondered if he should check it in.
http://groups.google.com/groups -- Opening remarks
http://groups.google.com/groups -- The RDF bazooka
Odd JIT timings
Dan reported that examples/assembly/mops_p.pasm was running slower with JIT optimization than without under OSX, which doesn't seem right. Daniel Grunblatt pointed out that JIT cores that don't optimize many opcodes will always be slower than a Computed Goto (CG) core and there aren't many optimized opcodes for the PPC architecture. Bruce Gray pointed Dan at an introduction to PPC assembler in case Dan wanted to add to the score of optimizations. Anyone else is interested could take a look too, kudos awaits the heroic implementer.
Meanwhile, in perl6-language
There was a little more diversity of discussion this instead of concentration on a single massive thread, though that thread did, of course, continue on its path.
L2R/R2L syntax
There was some discussion of implementing conditionals (if
, else
etc) as functions rather than special keywords. Personally I'm not
sure that anything that monkeys with Perl's normal order of evaluation
can strictly be called a function, but what the hey.
Buddha Buck showed off a rather neat implementation of if, then and
else which borrowed some of its implementation from a Smalltalk
like 'Bool' class with isTrue
and isFalse
methods and then used
multiple dispatch to get the rest.
In another subthread, Michael Lazzaro explained why he still wanted Right to Left pipelining, even though he was much more at ease with Perl 6's rules for when you needed a comma in an argument list. It appears to be mostly about teachability.
Damian popped up to make (at least) Graham Barr and me happy when he
said that he didn't think the Perl 5ish functional forms of map
etc would be going away. Huzzah!
http://groups.google.com/groups -- Buddha's Smalltalk port of conditionals
http://groups.google.com/groups -- Michael Lazzaro on grep, map and explicit pipelines
http://groups.google.com/groups -- map/grep/etc still functions
A proposal on if and else
Brent Dax proposed a solution to the problem of implementing if
as functions (the problem being that, unless you cuddle all
your else
s, perl will intuit a semicolon at the end of if
block and things will get confused) by proposing that all code
blocks take an optional 'else', accessed by the $code.else
attribute, one of the side effects of which would be that elsif
would become else if
Austin Hastings wondered if supporting 'separable verbs' might be a better way forward. The idea certainly looks interesting, the best summary of the idea I can give you is to point you at Austin's original message though.
http://groups.google.com/groups -- All blocks are elseable
http://groups.google.com/groups -- Separable verbs
Arc: An Unfinished Dialect of Lisp
Rich Morin pointed everyone at Paul Graham's presentation at the first Little Languages conference about Arc, pointing out that Graham had some interesting things to say about language design. The discussion that followed was mostly off topic (in the sense that they weren't talking at all about Perl 6). Graham's paper is interesting though.
Array/Colon question
Michael Lazzaro wondered about the seemingly different meanings of colon in:
print $FH : $a; # $FH is an indirect object @a = 0 .. 10 : 2; # @a is (0,2,4,6,8,10)
and wanted to know when :
meant 'step' and when it designated an
indirect object. Brent Dax helped clear things up. Essentially :
a 'supercomma' and different operators and functions interpret what
comes after the supercomma in different ways. ..
treats it as
specifying a step.
Multiple Dispatch by Context?
Piers Cawley wondered if it would be possible to specify a multimethod by context as well as by parameter types. Dan Sugalski managed to hole the proposal below the waterline with a neat set of multidispatch declarations that led to a horrible ambiguity. Thomas A Boyer pointed out that Ada can handle such ambiguities but that it was a complete pain to implement and voted against using return type for multiple dispatch.
Who's Who in Perl 6
Ah... um... I appear to be lacking an answer set this week.
Announcements, Acknowledgements and Apologies
I'm afraid to have to announce that, as of this week I can no longer donate the fee for these summaries to the Perl Foundation it's currently my only source of income. On the positive side, now that I don't have to spend 8 hours a day working for someone else I should be able to get the Summary mailed out to the Perl 6 lists on a Monday from now on.
Thanks to everyone who sent me mail about my redundancy. No matter how good it feels not to have to get up at 5.50 every morning with the prospect of not getting home again 'til at least 18.40 it's still a terrible shock to lose your job. Thankfully we look to be in a much better position this year than we were last time I was out of work; I'm hoping that, if I can get a few more freelance writing gigs and maybe a little consultancy I'm not going to have to go back to the 4 hour commutes for the foreseeable future.
Thanks too to everyone who's given me answers for the Who's Who section since this summary started. I'm sorry to be retiring it for now, but as new blood filters into the Perl 6 community I hope I'll be able to restart it some time further down the road.
If you appreciated this summary, please consider one or more of the following options:
- Send money to the Perl Foundation at http://donate.perl-foundation.org/ and help support the ongoing development of Perl
- Get involved in the Perl 6 process. The mailing lists are open to all. http://dev.perl.org/perl6/ and http://www.parrotcode.org/ are good starting points with links to the appropriate mailing lists.
- Send feedback, flames, money, job offers or concrete proof either way about Iraq's weaponry to firstname.lastname@example.com

Want to see what this recipe costs at different supermarkets? Compare in one place here:
- Put a layer of paper towels on a large baking sheet. Quarter, core, peel and slice the apples about 5mm thick and lay evenly on the baking sheet. Put paper towels on top and set aside while you make and chill the pastry.
- For the pastry, beat the butter and sugar in a large bowl until just mixed. Break in a whole egg and a yolk (keep the white for glazing later). Beat together for just under 1 min – it will look a bit like scrambled egg. Now work in the flour with a wooden spoon, a third at a time, until it's beginning to clump up, then finish gathering it together with your hands. Gently work the dough into a ball, wrap in cling film, and chill for 45 mins. Now mix the 140g/5oz sugar, the cinnamon and flour for the filling in a bowl that is large enough to take the apples later.
- After the pastry has chilled, heat the oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Lightly beat the egg white with a fork. Cut off a third of the pastry and keep it wrapped while you roll out the rest, and use this to line a pie tin – 20-22cm round and 4cm deep – leaving a slight overhang. Roll the remaining third to a circle about 28cm in diameter. Pat the apples dry with kitchen paper, and tip them into the bowl with the cinnamon-sugar mix. Give a quick mix with your hands and immediately pile high into the pastry-lined tin.
- Brush a little water around the pastry rim and lay the pastry lid over the apples pressing the edges together to seal. Trim the edge with a sharp knife and make 5 little slashes on top of the lid for the steam to escape. (Can be frozen at this stage.) Brush it all with the egg white and sprinkle with caster sugar. Bake for 40-45 mins, until golden, then remove and let it sit for 5-10 mins. Sprinkle with more sugar and serve while still warm from the oven with softly whipped cream.

Comments, questions and tips
I made this on Sunday, after our Roast Chicken Dinner - it was a bit of a special ocassion as I had invited a friend over who I've only just met again in a chance meeting a couple of weeks ago in Aldi's carpark & I have not seen her in 26 years! we used to be old school chums. It was lovely catching up after all these years & the this recipe went down a treat! as I couldn't cook back then & my friend was well impressed - will be making it again!
First time making an apple pie and I have to say this recipe had no faults. I followed all the measurements perhaps adding a little sprinkle more of cinnamon and the pie came out perfect. Will definately be baking this regulary. What I liked about this paticular recipe is that you did not need to stew the apples (theres nothing worse than a soggy pie) the apples are perfectly cooked inside and are not just liquid as some store bought pies regulary are!
Just made the apple pie, and it is the tastiest pie I have ever made. I don't think that the measures of sugar is in any way wrong, I think it must be the apples people have used. Make sure you use cooking apples, as these aren't as sweet as a normal granny smith for example.
If you prefer to have a stronger taste of cinnamon I would suggest to add another half teaspoon, but I think it's great as it is! Yom yom!
It was so easy it didn't even feel like cooking to me. As for the taste, absolutely amazing and rich. The smell of the pie after it's been baked is simply mouthwatering. But, cinnamon lover that I am, I added a tablespoon of cinnamon to the pastry and two tablespoons to the filling. The whole pie lasted about 2 hours :) Also, I sprinkled it with brown sugar for some crunchiness.
I was a little short of butter and as a result my pastry a bit brittle, but overall a simple and tasty recipe!
I used golden delicious apples that were a bit past their best, and reduced the sugar in the filling, which worked well.
Partner complained I used too much cinnamon (I added extra) but I thought the taste was spot on!
my first fruit pie and it didn't disappoint. I used 80g sugar with the fruit as I used left over eating apples and blackberries and thought it may be too sweet with 140g sugar. I was a bit worried that the pastry would be too thin and would break so, rolled it out between two sheets of clingfilm with no flour and it turned out perfectly.
Will use this again and again

- Study Abroad
There are several UD offices with staff who can help you consider aspects of your identity and how these may be perceived and treated at your potential destinations.
Study abroad at UD is inclusive and does not discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity or expression. LGBTQ students are welcomed and encouraged to apply for UD study abroad programs.
All students experience culture shock to some degree when they arrive in a new country; it is common to feel overwhelmed or surprised by attributes of your host country's culture. Different countries, and even different regions within the same country, may have their own cultural expectations regarding LGBTQ individuals. A little pre-departure research can go a long way to prepare students for how their identity may affect their study abroad experience.
Beyond cultural shock, there may be safety issues associated with traveling as an LGBTQ individual. In some countries, LGBTQ identities or same-sex sexual acts may be unwelcome or even criminalized and can involve severe punishments. Be aware of this possibility and research your host country's laws before selecting a study abroad destination. If you are unsure whether it is safe to openly identify as LGBTQ in your host country, speak to your faculty director or program coordinator for guidance.
To the other extreme, there are many countries that are highly accepting and inclusive of LGBTQ individuals and grant them more civil rights than are available in the United States.
Questions to Ask About Your Study Abroad Program
*If you have housing/accommodation needs based on gender identity/expression, please contact your program coordinator upon acceptance to your travel study program. It is easier to accommodate your request if you contact IGS immediately after acceptance.

I'm having some severe troubles with somnolence / hypersomnia, and am still waiting for the final diagnosis regarding my sleep study. In the meantime, we've decided to correct the situation regardless of the official outcome, cause I've obviously have symtoms that are making my life very difficult. I've switched from 3mg of Klonopin per day to 2mg 2x's per day of Xanax XR to see if that doesn't help. So far, I just feel more tiered than before. I'm now just starting on day #2, and I know that I still have to give it a fair shot. Does anyone have any input on this? Also, I feel more social and general anxiety than before, meaning that probably I'll need a higher dosage of the Xanax XR in the long run. I'd love for any experiences or comments (and I love back and forth discussions - if I or you question something, please feel free to respond, as that's the point of a conversation)! :) One more thing, for those of you who know me, this is just one of several steps that are going to be taken. One of the other steps taking once the benzo of choice is determined, we'll then start to eliminate all of the "sort of" working meds, and upping the dosage of the less sedating working med (dropping 300mg Ultram, 225mg Lyrica, the higher dosage of Pristiq 100mg down to 50mg, and upping the Methadone 30mg up to what is needed, something that has doesn't sedate me much at all, and works by far and away the best for the fibro pain)! Thank god!! The psychiatrist wasn't willing to in the past, but now is all for it. According to him, I've proven over time that I have an extremely low addictive personality profile, rare for also having PTSD, and he's had a number of very bad experiences very recently. Also, hopefully, we'll be saying an almost total good-bye to Abilify (rarely taken as it is), as the Minipress has been working wonders for the C-PTSD!
Xanax xr vs. klonopin, or really any benzo, which has the most effective and least sleepy profile?

Added 26 Aug 2010:
Ok, so far they know that I've got very mild sleep apnea at night, partially due to the narcotics (methadone slows the breathing considerably, thus less oxygen), but aren't sure if I have multiple sleep disorders yet. I'm going to get a special pillow and give it a try, sleeping on the side... I hate the idea of the mask thing!!!!! I'm stubborn like that... They aren't sure if it's causing the sleep attacks... but the meds plus that make it plausible,
Added 27 Aug 2010:
ok, so this evening, I started to have major panic attacks and irritability even after taking the second dosage of 2mg Xanax XR. Called the doctor, and he told me that he wasn't going to increase the drug, and to go back to the Klonopin. It's strange how different people have such a variety of reactions to mind type meds. Anyways, I have an appointment this next Thursday, and will ask about Valium as an option (I severely doubt that he'll want to try it, due to the fact that the conversion would be 60mg). The Xanax just didn't carry the weight that the 3mg of Klonopin had for me. On top of it all, ultimately the Xanax also made me equally tiered, in a very different way though. Klonopin feels more relaxing and smooth vs. the Xanax for me felt more relaxed in a slightly stimulated way... very hard to explain. Oh well. If the doctor wants to give the Valium a try, I'll definitely post it, but for now, step 2 is to get rid of the 225mg of Lyrica. Will be going down 75mg per week. Apparently regardless if I feel withdrawals or not, there's a possibility for seizures. So... that's that. Lyrica is the one drug that I take that I literally feel nothing from. No benefit, no negative. Just nothing, and expensive. But for a long time, was told to take it.
Added 1 Sep 2010:
just realized that the updates should really be posted up here vs. on the comments, so here it is again.....
Just an update:
Ok, so, I talked to my psychiatrist durring my appointment yesterday about switching from the current 3mg of Klonopin over to Valium, something that I've heard allot of good things about, and according to him, I'd have to be dosed way to high, putting me in a situation setting me up for addiction. According to the good old wikipedia, I guess that 0.5mg of Klonopin = 10mg of Valium, so... that would put me at 60mg of Valium per day, and that's too high of a starting dose for my psychiatrist. Also, the higher the dose, the higher the level of side effects associated with the drug, thus, the higher the abuse potential. So, I guess Klonopin is the one for me as of now. He also pointed out that Klonopin is more or less (according to him - and I'm sure that many would disagree with a portion of this statement), a better and more potent version of valium with fewer side effects.
So... the plan continues as before, to take the meds that don't do a whole lot of good out of my routine. I'm currently down to 75mg of Lyrica from the original 225mg. Once that ones out of the way, then comes the Tramadol, and we'll have to discuss how we want to approach it. Last time I spoke with him about my concerns regarding the discontinuing of Tramadol, he seemed to think that it wouldn't be a problem, this time, he seemed to be more in tune with my concern with the SNRI - and how it has an almost immediate action, thus potentially making it more problematic. Also, regarding the Opioid action, we'll have to figure out how much we want to increase the Methadone to contradict the withdrawal as well as replace it as a pain killer. Tramadol has helped with the pain, so we'll figure all of this out on September 14th, on the next scheduled appointment.
Added 7 Sep 2010:
ok, so... when I went down to 75mg of Lyrica, we had a delay. Apparently, the Lyrica was helping my anxiety considerably, and started to have some major anxiety issues resurface along with minor pain. The last thing that I want to do is add another medication or up the benzo, so we switched the Pristiq at 100mg over to Cymbalta at 90mg per day, and presto! Anxiety gone, as well as most of the pain! I requested to stop the Lyrica, and will have to wait for a response from the doc. (he knows more than I do, and I'm having him be part of the process, every step of the way) Also, it turns out the I have very minor sleep apnea, probably caused by my medications, and we still don't have a clear answer as to the cause of the sleep problem, although, decreasing the Lyrica so far has helped quite a bit!

Hi JK, Have you tried Valium? I hear it has benefits as far as muscle pain goes. I haven't tried it... yet, but I am thinking about switching from Xanax to valium. Other people on this site have recommended valium.
Just a thought buddy.
4 mgs of Xanax a day seems like a high dosage to me, but what the hell do I know...
4mg of Xanax is a high dosage according to what I understand, but I can't really function in social crowds very well without the help of a benzo, and unfortunately, I wish that I could take lower dosages, but not yet. My psychologist taught me how to deal with panic attacks, however not social situations, unfortunately we have bigger fish to fry... first the C-PTSD, then back to the anxiety, and depending on the PTSD, the anxiety may decrease, and I'll be SOOOOO happy to get down to a lower dosage. I've tried several times with the Klonopin, and I can do it, I can deal with minor withdrawals with it lowered slowly, but just can't deal with the actual anxiety. If 4mg doesn't help with the problems that it's suppose to treat, then I'd like to try 5mg, adding 1mg for the daytime, making it 3mg, and 2mg at night. The last thing that I really want to do is increase anything more than I have to.
sweetlemon (answer thief) is right. But you may need the 10mg dosages. Oh I love teasing you sweetlemon! But of all the benzo's, valium is one of the best. At least in my opinion. Have a good day, sweetlemon.
26 Aug 2010
Hi there jk13. Sweetlemon stole my answer! She does that often. I'm very happy to hear you're getting off the Ultram and upping the dose of methadone as needed. Ultram (in my experience) doesn't help much with pain and is still addicting even though it's technically a non opiate. So if you need around the clock opiate pain control, methadone is your best defense. But extremely difficult to kick. As far as the benzo, sweetlemon is right about the valium. For me personally, it's helped the most and lasts the longest without too much of a "benzo hangover" feeling. You know, once you get your meds all figured out, you'll be pleasantly surprised how productive and happy you can be. It's just so darn frustrating getting there! But over the years (and I don't know why) if my pain is under control, I don't need anti depressants.
Well, I'm most definitely going to bring the idea up to my pdoc, as I've read over and over that Valium for so many people is the benzo med of choice. Newer never means better, just means... not as well tested. I don't know if he'd be totally comfortable going to such a high dosage of Valium, but if the Xanax, and I really need to give it a few more days to give it a fair trial, I'd love go in that direction. It bothers me a bit that the Xanax XR lasts only 12hrs., so you have to redoes immediately with little or no overlap, very unlike Valium.
Methadone, trazadone are 2 very old medications still being prescribed frequently. Some of the newer meds scare me. There's been too many recalls for my comfort. I believe it's just a matter of time before Tramadol is re-classified by the FDA. Several states have already taken steps to re-classify this pain killer. So many doctors are uneducated about its' addictive nature. Patients need to educate themselves about what doctors prescribe them. You are so right about newer not necessarily being better.
26 Aug 2010
Hi jk, I am starting toget familiar with where you want to be with your meds., that is why I was happy to hear there are some changes already. Now, just like the first time you asked for an open opinion... you know the rest. The only thing I can argue about xanax, is that it actually brings some type of "high" with it. I know people who say they have lost whole days and only remember bits and pieces of what happened. The only other thing about xanax is it has such a short half life. If you take xanax every day for six months or so, you can take in in the morning and if you miss your evening dose, by eight o'clock at night you are already starting to have muscle spasm and tension headaches. Valium is OK, but it is the generics that bother me. Stay away from the mylan, they can be eaten like candy with no real help. They have other generics of valium that work better. Now personally I would rather take klonopin, I take that 2mgs. twice a day.
Hate to disagree with our Fall Queen, but I take 2mg of Xanax a day and I don't get a high off of it.
JK, did I read you correctly... when you said tramadol is not addictive?
Thanks and hope you are feeling great,
Fall Queen is right about the generics for valium. My hubby was prescribed them years ago for tension headaches and the doc was adamant about him getting the "real deal." They are rarely filled because of their cost. However, the real valium has an actual "V" punched out in the middle of the pill.
4 Oct 2010
You mentioned somewhere near the top that have the meds not make you too sleepy during the day was important to you, or something to that effect. That being the case, you should probably leave the Valium alone. Its half-life is waaay longer than either Xanax or Klonopin, and I've never met anybody that doesn't feel sluggish during the day because of it. Also, if your main issue is panic attacks, as opposed to just straight anxiety (*without* panic attacks), Klonopin will almost certainly work better for you than Xanax.
As for dosage, someone said 4mg/day Xanax was a lot . . . nobody can say that without taking into account the tolerance level you've built up to the drug. For sure, if someone takes no benzos at all, and you give them 4mg Xanax, they'll probably pass out . . . but after being on it for a couple of years, it can take 2mg bars to do what 0.5mg did at the beginning . . . which is why the PDR specifies a Rx dose range up to 10mg/day of the drug.

Subjects taught at LSE | Services and divisions (administration)
All research groups | Research subject areas
Changes to regulations that secure the role of specialist brokers in determining stock prices at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) are essential to maintaining market liquidity and stability according to an academic from LSE.
As of this week, the specialists – the NYSE's so-called Designated Market Makers (DMMs) – can share disaggregated and post-trade order information at their posts with the Exchange's floor brokers. This is the result of a ruling by the regulator, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), after receiving evidence from Dr Daniel Beunza| and Professor Yuval Millo, who have been studying the NYSE since 2003, as well as from the NYSE itself.
Dr Daniel Beunza, an economic sociologist, said: "Our research indicates that human communication between market makers and floor brokers has a positive impact on price discovery as it facilitates a more widely shared understanding of the market. This results in a greater willingness to transact."
This informal sharing of information has always been part of a DMM's role and helps floor brokers make sense of the market at any given point in time. However, this had never been codified.
When the NYSE proposed to amend their rules to reflect the DMMs' full role, the SEC expressed concern that this would unfairly discriminate against off floor market participants.
However, in two comment letters to the SEC supporting the NYSE's proposals, Daniel Beunza and his colleague, Professor Yuval Millo, argued that sharing information in this way would be "fundamentally superior" to systematic electronic dissemination of information. They said: "It would be more targeted in nature, more limited in reach and it would disseminate less timely and therefore convey less sensitive information while still retaining the primary benefits of allowing counterparties access to liquidity."
Beunza and Milo also point out in their letters that the tight social ties among the Exchange's floor participants encourages appropriate behaviour and builds an environment of trust which allows more sensitive information to be disseminated.
Dr Beunza also added: "Retaining the human dimension of the NYSE means that market makers can give information to floor brokers that they need to make sense of a crisis like 2010's flash crash, for example. To ensure safety, we need to make sure that automated systems retain important social features."

Principal and teachers at Parkway Montessori and Community Middle School have a big summer ahead at new site.
Parkway Montessori and Community Middle School Principal Tim Hofmann, above, "is going to make it a success. I'm pretty darn sure of it," said parent Chris Lacher.
The principal is a hard-charger, the students and parents engaged, but to fully understand the excitement surrounding St. Paul's plans for a public Montessori middle school, you need imagination.
A building's walls must come down — entire classrooms and a library gutted — before Parkway Montessori and Community Middle School takes shape and opens this fall at the current home of L'Etoile du Nord French Immersion School on the city's East Side.
Still ahead, too, is the hiring and training of teachers, and for that, principal Tim Hofmann is looking for passion and commitment. He is exploring the idea of requiring teachers to sign on for at least three years with the district's new creative venture.
Once found only in private schools, the Montessori method allows students to learn at their own pace, gravitating to what interests them, in classrooms typically free of textbooks. Desks, too, give way to tables as students roam — working individually and with small groups — under the supervision of specially trained teachers.
There's a lot riding on Parkway Montessori. The district will spend about $2.9 million for building design and renovation and has enlisted past leaders of Cincinnati's pioneering public Montessori system to help train instructors — at a cost of $13,000 to $14,000 per teacher, Hofmann said.
"I want it to be the best Montessori middle school," Mary Doran, a St. Paul school board member who has two daughters attending a district Montessori elementary school, said last week. "I truly believe it can be. And we need to hit the ground running as soon as the doors are open."
Despite the tight time frame, she says she's confident it can be done.
Montessori as innovation
Marta Donahoe, founder and former program director of Clark Montessori Junior and Senior High School in Cincinnati, said reform-minded districts have turned increasingly to Montessori programs as one way to innovate. She said that a carefully crafted program spanning the preschool to secondary-school ages can answer society's call for education that addresses "the whole child," helping students to be thoughtful and creative as they "find their place in the world."
St. Paul is creating its new middle school as part of a districtwide reorganization that puts renewed emphasis on community schools but also provides elementary-to-secondary "pathways" for language immersion, arts, science and, now, Montessori programs.
But the reorganization also calls for grades 7-8 junior highs to be replaced by grades 6-8 middle schools, depriving Montessori sixth-graders of a leadership opportunity in a system that prides itself on community. Sixth-graders, for example, are called upon now to assist fourth-graders in grades 4-6 clusters. They lend a hand with kindergartners, too.
Donahoe, co-director of the teaching program that will aid St. Paul's effort, said she favors the junior high model, but says a middle school move is a "compromise" that has worked for some districts. Visitors should still expect to find multi-age groupings, thematic curriculum and vibrant physical environment, she said.
"It's a pretty dynamic and interesting place to observe," Donahoe said.
Turnaround specialist
By all accounts, Hofmann, 41, has brought enthusiasm to an assignment for which speed is of the essence.
An arts enthusiast, he's made a career of using creative ways to connect with kids. In the 1990s, he worked four years at Humboldt Junior High with former Montessori students who struggled with the elementary-to-secondary transition. Many misbehaved, he said, but earlier, "they were the stars of their school."
At Park High School in Cottage Grove, Hofmann taught at-risk students, and again employed what he calls a Montessori-esque approach of "going with the kids' strengths — what they wanted to do." One student, he said, now is a teacher in Minneapolis.
Hofmann said last week that he was still awaiting enrollment projections for the new school. But at a recent meeting with parents, he told of speaking with people at a school fair after other booths were torn down and as janitors swept up. He also shared one secret: 30 students who live outside Parkway's geographic zone, and who have no prior Montessori experience, have said they want to be a part of the new school.

For a long time there was an unwritten assumption in religious studies that studying a religion of which one is a part would interfere with the objectivity of the study and dangerously blur the line between studying religion and doing religion. But what happens when the religion you are studying has claimed you and not the reverse? Does the insider/outsider distinction still apply? Are distinctions between descriptive and normative accounts still applicable when one is an "insider"? American Civil Religion presents a special case in religious studies in the U.S. because it claims its members rather than the reverse. How does American Civil Religion challenge some of the common assumptions in religious studies?

"Flo" actress Stephanie Courtney among alumni honorees at Commencement
April 29, 2015
Courtney graduated from Harpur College with an English degree in 1992. Her time at Binghamton University helped her turn an acting passion into a career. On campus, she studied under Professor Tom Kremer and played Elizabeth Proctor in The Crucible. Kremer helped her decide where to study theater after she graduated from Binghamton.
"I was never tortured over whether I wanted to become an actor," Courtney said. "There was never another option in my mind."
Courtney has been playing the role of Progressive's "Flo" since 2008. Ad Age recently named her one of the top female ad icons of all time, on a list that includes Rosie the Riveter and Betty Crocker.

The Bachelor Pad
Remember Bachelor Pad 3 Couple Kalon McMahon and Lindzi Cox? Where Are They Now?
The time has come to take a walk down the fungal-infested footpath that is memory lane, back to a glorious time when Bachelor Pad 3 was still in our lives. RIP, old friend! All kinds of beautiful relationships blossomed on The Pad, but our favorite couple on BP3 was most definitely Kalon McMahon and Lindzi Cox.
Kindzi broke up in January 2013 after four months of dating, and Lindzi exclusively told Wetpaint Entertainment that she was willing to "go the extra mile," but that Kalon wasn't in a position to meet her halfway. We'll give you a moment to wipe away those tears and update your feelings blog. How dare he give up on their love? Anyway, the good news is that both Kalon and Lindzi are doing amazingly well in the wake of their breakup. Kalon is living it up in Houston and working hard as the chairman of super-bro fitness company, Surfset Texas, which champions exercise in the form of chilling out on a surfboard….sans actual waves. According to his company bio, Kalon instructs weekly classes "toning his core in his Lulu capris," which sounds semi horrifying and super attractive.
Meanwhile, Lindzi is shacked up in Bellevue, where she hangs out with her pet bunny, rides horses, and attends Bar Fitness classes with none other than The Bachelorette's Desiree Hartsock. As far as this gal's love life goes, she appears to be single and ready to mingle — presumably with someone who doesn't wear loafers like he was born in 'em. Considering that neither Kalon nor Lindzi is locked down, we're hoping they'll find their way back to each other in the not too distant future. Kindzi forever! Shoot, KINDZI FOR PRESIDENT, if we're honest.

TWEAKing renal injury. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 17981571 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
TWEAK is a recently identified cytokine of the TNF superfamiliy. Through activation of the Fn14 receptor, TWEAK regulates cell proliferation, cell death and inflammation. Recent studies show increased TWEAK and Fn14 expression in tubular cells during acute kidney injury as well as elevated urinary TWEAK levels in patients with active lupus nephritis. Furthermore, glomerular mesangial cells and renal tubular epithelial cells express the Fn14 receptor under the regulation of proinflammatory cytokines. TWEAK weakly increases cell death and promotes secretion of inflammatory mediators in non-stimulated mesangial cells. In addition, in a proinflammatory milieu, TWEAK induces apoptosis of mesangial and tubular cells. The available data suggest that TWEAK is a new player in kidney injury both at the glomerular and tubulointerstitial levels and might be a target for therapeutic intervention. |

This week's major release "Bombay Talkies" is an anthology of four short films from directors: Dibakar Banerjee, Zoya Akhtar, Anurag Kashyap and Karan Johar.
The movie is a tribute to Indian cinema, as it celebrates 100 years. Dozens of Bollywood stars make cameo appearances, some playing themselves.
Mr. Johar's short film "Ajeeb Dastaan Hai Yeh" (lyrics of a popular Hindi song from the 1960s meaning "a strange tale") stars Rani Mukherji, Randeep Hooda and Saqib Saleem whose characters form an unconventional love triangle.
In "Murabba" ("Sweet and Sour Pickle") director Mr. Kashyap tells the story of a man from Allahabad, who travels to Mumbai to meet Bollywood superstar, Amitabh Bachchan. It tells the story of a fans who wait outside Mr. Bachchan's home hoping for a glimpse of him and clutching gifts to give to the star.
Dibakar Banerjee's "Star" features Nawazuddin Siddiqui who plays a struggling actor in Mumbai trying to make it into Bollywood.
"Sheila ki Jawaani" (lyrics of a popular song featuring Bollywood star Katrina Kaif meaning "Sheila's Youth") is about a young boy, played by Naman Jain, who is smitten by Ms. Kaif. The film is directed by Zoya Akhtar.
Here is what critics had to say about the movie.
In his review on NDTV, Saibal Chatterjee says the film's four directors have stuck to doing what they do best.
Mr. Johar stays with his comfort zone described by the critic as "the world of a yuppie couple."
He is more enthusiastic about Dibakar Banerjee's work and says the film "gives full rein to what he is good at — capturing the joys and despairs of 'that little man' in the crowd."
For him the short-film is "a perfect summation of the magic of storytelling."
The stories from Ms. Akhtar and Mr. Kashyap are "about the dynamics of movie stardom and how it exercises a hold on the lives of common people," he says.
Overall however Mr. Chatterjee says that a "once-in-a-century cinematic experiment should have had more heart and heft." He gives the film three stars out of five.
In her review in Mint, film critic Sanjukta Sharma wasn't very impressed and found the movie tribute to Indian cinema too far removed from reality.
"A tribute is hardly ever the truth. Maybe just a sliver of the truth," said Ms. Sharma.
"You simplify, romanticize and gloss over what's unpalatable about your subject—distilling a kind of agreeable net worth." she adds.
In her opinion, none of the films had any personal touch neither in aesthetics nor in point of view.
"After you have left the theatre, it is not gratification you feel, but the short-lived aftertaste of a music video or a good commercial," she says.
Of the four stories, Ms. Sharma liked Mr. Banerjee's movie the most. "Storytelling, cinematography, music, editing and acting are in meaningful synthesis," she said. "Indisputably, the best-executed story in "Bombay Talkies"" she added.
Bollywood movie critic Taran Adarsh says "Bombay Talkies" is one of "those infrequent movies wherein you get to eyeball the superior efforts of four top notch film-makers in less than two hours."
"This reality alone makes the film a compelling watch, while the superior performances and absorbing themes that the movie prides itself in, only serve as an icing on the cake," he adds in his review on Bollywood Hungama.
Mr. Adarsh feels that Mr. Kashyap's film allows him to move out of his stereotype and "silence the naysayers who feel he restricts himself to confined themes."
Describing the movie as a "must watch" Mr. Adarsh gave the movie four stars out of five.
A review on rediff.com says the film plays out "four individualistic, intimate tributes by contemporary directors with a distinct approach to filmmaking."
Critic Sukanya Verma adds that even though the four films are varied in content, they come together with a "refreshing consistency in intellectual aesthetics."
She feels that Mr. Johar's film explores the anxiety, politics and provocations of urban relationships.
And, while doing so, Mr. Johar "opens up behind the camera like never before," adds Ms. Verma.
Full of praise for Mr. Banerjee's "Star," Ms. Verma says that the film has "moments that inspire, motivate and create a cinema worth paying tribute to whether 100 years or 10 years old."
Mr. Kashyap's attempt doesn't succeed in making as good an impression on her as the other three stories.
"Personally, I found it weakest of all the four films because its movement gets a bit repetitive after a while," she says.
She gives the film three-and-a-half stars out of five.

Biography of Thomas B. Cochran
Senior Scientist in NRDC's Nuclear Program
Dr. Thomas B. Cochran is a consultant to the Natural Resources Defense Council where he began working in 1973. Prior to retiring in 2011, he was a senior scientist and held the Wade Greene Chair for Nuclear Policy at NRDC, and was director of its Nuclear Program until 2007. He has served as a consultant to numerous government and non-government agencies on energy, nuclear nonproliferation, nuclear reactor and nuclear waste matters. He is a member of the Department of Energy's Nuclear Energy Advisory Committee and three of its subcommittees: the NEAC Nuclear Reactor Technology Subcommittee, the NEAC Infrastructure/Facilities Subcommittee and the NEAC International Subcommittee. Previously he served as a member of DOE's Environmental Management Advisory Board, Fusion Energy Sciences Advisory Board and Energy Research Advisory Board, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's Advisory Committee on the Cleanup of Three Mile Island and the TMI Public Health Advisory Board.
Dr. Cochran initiated NRDC's Nuclear Weapons Databook Project. He also initiated a series of joint nuclear weapons verification projects with the Soviet Academy of Sciences. These include the Nuclear Test Ban Verification Project, which demonstrated the feasibility of utilizing seismic monitoring to verify a low-threshold test ban, and the Black Sea Experiment, which examined the utility of passive radiation detectors for verifying limits on sea-launched cruise missiles.
Dr. Cochran is the author of The Liquid Metal Fast Breeder Reactor: An Environmental and Economic Critique (Washington, DC: Resources for the Future, 1974); and co-editor/author of the Nuclear Weapons Databook, Volume I: U.S. Nuclear Forces and Capabilities (Cambridge, MA: Ballinger Press, 1984); Volume II: U.S. Nuclear Warhead Production (1987); Volume III: U.S. Nuclear Warhead Facility Profiles (1987); Volume IV: Soviet Nuclear Weapons (1989); and Making the Russian Bomb: From Stalin to Yeltsin (Boulder, CO: Westview Press, 1995). In addition, he has published numerous articles and working papers, including those in SIPRI Yearbook chapters, Arms Control Today, and the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. He has co-authored (with Dr. Robert S. Norris) the article on "Nuclear Weapons" and in the 1990 printing of The New Encyclopedia Britannica (15th edition), revised and updated in the Encyclopedia Britannica, 2011 Ultimate DVD (Copyright 2010, Encyclopedia Britannica).
One of his most recent publications (with Christopher E. Paine) is "Nuclear Islands: International Leasing of Nuclear Fuel Cycle Sites to Provide Enduring Assurance of Peaceful Use," The Nonproliferation Review, Vol. 17, No. 3, November 2010, pp. 441-474.
Dr. Cochran received his Ph.D. in Physics from Vanderbilt University in 1967. He was assistant Professor of Physics at the Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, California, from 1967 to 1969, Modeling and Simulation Group Supervisor of the Litton Mellonics Division, Scientific Support Laboratory, Fort Ord, California, from 1969 to 1971, and from 1971 to 1973, he was a Senior Research Associate at Resources for the Future.
Dr. Cochran is the recipient of the American Physical Society's Szilard Award and the Federation of American Scientists' Public Service Award, both in 1987. As a consequence of his work, NRDC received the 1989 Scientific Freedom and Responsibility Award by the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Dr. Cochran is a Fellow of the American Physical Society and the AAAS and a member of the American Nuclear Society, the Health Physics Society and Sigma Xi.

At periods greater than 1000 seconds, Earth's seismic free oscillations have anomalously large amplitude when referenced to the Harvard Centroid Moment Tensor fault mechanism, which is estimated from 300- to 500-second surface waves. By using more realistic rupture models on a steeper fault derived from seismic body and surface waves, we approximated free oscillation amplitudes with a seismic moment (6.5 × 10^(22) Newton·meters) that corresponds to a moment magnitude of 9.15. With a rupture duration of 600 seconds, the fault-rupture models represent seismic observations adequately but underpredict geodetic displacements that argue for slow fault motion beneath the Nicobar and Andaman islands.

Physically based simulation techniques have revolutionized special effects in film and video games, creating extremely realistic effects while allowing unprecedented artistic control and avoiding dangerous situations. This course will explore physically based simulation methods for computer animation of a wide variety of phenomena and materials including rigid and deformable solids, cloth, liquids, and explosions. Students will be introduced to numerical methods, physical models, data structures, and theoretical results which form the building blocks of these methods. To gain hands-on experience, students will implement basic simulators for several phenomena.
Programming experience and basic familiarity with linear algebra and calculus is
assumed. Some background in computer graphics is helpful.
Your programming assignments should produce two final products: a
short video and a short paper. The video should demonstrate your
system and the paper should describe what you've done.
Late Policy: You have five late days to be used over the semester.
These should provide sufficient flexibility to handle other project
deadlines. After using these days, there will be a 10%/day late

Early 19th century (as a verb): from Hindi lūṭ, from Sanskrit luṇṭh- 'rob'.
Like thug, the word loot has its origins in the experience of the British in India. Soldiers picked it up for 'valuables plundered from an enemy' from their Hindi-speaking counterparts—it goes back to a word meaning 'to rob' in Sanskrit, the ancient language of northern India. The slang sense 'money' developed in the 1940s.

Subject: | Primary key is miss in row based replication. | ||
View as plain text |
We are developed a storage engine using row based replication. During the test we found that primary key values will not be included in the binlog event. So the slave is impossible to identify which row to update. Is this a bug or is there a flag to tell MySQL to include primary key? We are based on 5.1.33 currently.
