The prestigious NTR National Film Award is being revived after four years
HYDERABAD: Film actor G. Krishna, music maestro Ilayaraja and Kannada film star Ambareesh have been named for the prestigious NTR National Film Award for the years 2003, 2004 and 2005 respectively.
Their names were announced on Thursday after the State Government cleared the proposals submitted by a three-member selection committee comprising T.L. Kantha Rao, M. Balaiah and M. Mohan Babu, all film personalities.
Each award carries a cash prize of Rs. 5 lakh, a citation, shawl and a specially-designed silver memento. The awards will be given away at the presentation of the annual Nandi Film Awards of the State Government in November.
The awards were instituted in 1996 by then Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu in memory of the legendary actor and former Chief Minister N.T. Rama Rao who strode the Telugu film industry like a colossus for nearly five decades. The earlier recipients of the award were Akkineni Nageswara Rao, Dilip Kumar, Sivaji Ganesan, Lata Mangeshkar, Hrishikesh Mukherjee, Bhanumathi Ramakrishna and Raj Kumar.
The NTR National Film Award is being revived after four years. The Congress Government, which assumed office in May 2004, attracted criticism for not showing interest in continuing with the award.
The TDP even offered to give the award if the Government remained obdurate. But Congress leaders countered by saying that the Telugu Desam itself had discontinued the award in the year 2003. Amid much criticism from the Telugu Desam Party, the Government finally constituted a three-member committee on February 19 this year to recommend names of eminent film personalities across the country with outstanding contribution to Indian cinema for the NTR Award.
The committee submitted its report to Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy.

"Innovation" entries
Unleash innovation in the enterprise
Winning organizations continually experiment.
I constantly hear how enterprises are poor at innovation, bad at product development and unresponsive to business change. So it begs the question, why do so many organizations get it wrong? And what are the key factors to consider when trying to innovate in large organizations?
Typically the factors constraining innovation are conflicting business goals, competing priorities, localized performance measures and success criteria. While these have traditionally been the tools of management — to control workforce behavior and output — in highly competitive and quickly evolving business environments they also have had the adverse effects of killing creativity, responsiveness and ingenuity.
So what are the components needed to unleash innovation in enterprise?
Avoid disruption through exploration
Support experimentation and continuously evaluate to stay ahead.
Businesses have always come and gone, but these days it seems that companies can fall from market dominance to bankruptcy in the blink of an eye. Kodak, Blockbuster and HMV are just a few recent victims of the rapid market disruption that defines the current era.
Where did these once iconic companies go wrong? To my mind, they forgot to keep challenging their assumptions about what business they were actually in.
Businesses have two options when they plan for the road ahead: they can put all their eggs into one basket, and risk losing everything if that basket has a hole in the bottom, or they can make a number of small bets, accepting that some will fail while others succeed.
Taking the latter approach, and making many small bets on innovation, transforms the boardroom into a roulette table. Unlike a punter in a casino, however, businesses cannot afford to stop making bets.
Business models are transient and prone to disruption by changes in markets and the external competitive environment, advances in design and technology, and wider social and economic change. Organizations that misjudge their purpose, or cannot sense and then adapt to these changes, will perish.
The sad truth is that too many established organizations focus most of their time and resources on executing and optimizing their existing business models in order to maximize profits. They forget to experiment and explore new ideas for customer needs of tomorrow.
Innovation requires a new mind-set: The O'Reilly Radar Podcast
Tim O'Reilly and Carl Bass discuss the future of making things, and Astro Teller on Google X's approach to solving big problems.
Editor's note: you can subscribe to the O'Reilly Radar Podcast through iTunes, SoundCloud, or directly through our podcast's RSS feed.
I recently lamented the lag in innovation in relation to the speed of technological advancements — do we really need a connected toaster that will sell itself if neglected? Subsequently, I had a conversation with Josh Clark that made me rethink that position; Clark pointed out that play is an important aspect of innovation, and that such whimsical creations as drum pants could ultimately lead to more profound innovations.
In the first segment of this podcast episode, Tim O'Reilly and Autodesk CEO Carl Bass have a wide-ranging discussion about the future of making things. Bass notes that innovation tends to start by "looking at the rear window":
"The first naïve response is to take a new technology and do the old thing with it. It takes a while until you can start reimagining things…the first thing that you need is this new tool set in software, hardware, and materials, but the more important thing — and the more difficult thing, obviously — is a new mind-set. How are you going to think about this problem differently? How are you going to reimagine what you can do? That's the exciting part."

Disposable architecture?
Technology is now outpacing innovation, fostering a culture of disposability.
I've noticed a number of faint signals recently pointing to a general shift in the speed of technology and the repercussions it's having on the products we're seeing come to market. This recent Tweet from Tom Scott got me really thinking about it:
The Internet of Things: never mind your phone, now your whole house can be obsolete after a couple of years!
— Tom Scott (@tomscott) April 4, 2014
Scott's comment brought me back to a recent conversation I had with Princeton architecture student Alastair Stokes. I'd asked Stokes whether the technology challenges of designing a building to last 100+ years are more difficult today than they were in, say, 1900 — or if it's as difficult, just different. He said the challenges might be more difficult today, but regardless, maybe technology is changing the solution: we shouldn't try to design buildings today to last 100 years, but design them so they'll last for, say, 20 years and then be replaced.

Wolfram Language, Historic Innovation, SF Culture Wars, and Privacy's Death
- Wolfram Language — a broad attempt to integrate types, operations, and databases along with deployment, parallelism, and real-time I/O. The demo video is impressive, not just in execution but in ambition. Healthy skepticism still necessary.
- Maury, Innovation, and Change (Cory Ondrejka) — amazing historical story of open data, analysis, visualisation, and change. In the mid-1800's, over the course of 15 years, a disabled Lieutenant changed the US Navy and the world. He did it by finding space to maneuver (as a trouble maker exiled to the Navy Depot), demonstrating value with his early publications, and creating a massive network effect by establishing the Naval Observatory as the clearing house for Navigational data. 150 years before Web 2.0, he built a valuable service around common APIs and aggregated data by distributing it freely to the people who needed it.

- A Day of Speaking Truth to Power (Quinn Norton) — It was a room that had written off privacy as an archaic structure. I tried to push back, not only by pointing out this was the opening days of networked life, and so custom hadn't caught up yet, but also by recommending danah boyd's new book It's Complicated repeatedly. To claim "people trade privacy for free email therefore privacy is dead" is like 1800s sweatshop owners claiming "people trade long hours in unpleasant conditions for miserable pay therefore human rights are dead". Report of privacy's death are greatly exaggerated.

Because I think ignorance in science is very important. If you're like me and you know too much you can't try new things. I always work in fields of which I'm totally ignorant.

Bluetooth Low Energy: what do we do with you?
Why the dearth of imagination — we need to get beyond different flavors of spyware.
"The best minds of my generation are thinking about how to make people click ads," as Jeff Hammerbacher said. And it's not just data analysts: it's creeping into every aspect of technology, including hardware.
One of the more exciting developments of the past year is Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). Unfortunately, the application that I've seen discussed most frequently is user tracking: devices in stores can use the BLE device in your cell phone to tell exactly where you're standing, what you're looking at, and target ads, offer you deals, send over salespeople, and so on.
Color me uninterested. I don't really care about the spyware: if Needless Markup wants to know what I'm looking at, they can send someone out on the floor to look. But I am dismayed by the lack of imagination around what we can do with BLE. Read more…

Feeling the least bit discouraged?
Take heart, my friend!
Herb Merriweather shares a number of statements that when delivered with gusto will make an enormous impact on your outlook, performance and spirit!
Strike your best heroic pose and prepare to be inspired in today's VOX Daily.
Those words come from one of my favorite movies "Galaxy Quest"--the story of a group of 'Star Trek'-like TV actors who get dropped into the middle of a very real interplanetary war. Although ham-fistedly delivered at first, the words come back to define them as forces for good.
When thinking about how such lofty qualities could be promoted in the voice over world we only need to remember a few basic principles. There are some things we should try to cling to and defend as professionals in order to maintain integrity and a healthy business climate. So raise your mics high, strike your most heroic pose and utter throatily this mighty oath (OK...I saw THOR recently--but you get the idea).
Never Give Up...no matter who, what, where, why, how or when you are!
Never Surrender...to compromise, mediocrity or 'good enough'!
Never Give Up...on sharing all you can with others going in your direction.
Never Surrender...to petty jealousies, silly arguments or useless controversies.
Never Give Up...on the audition process--learn something from each one!
Never Surrender...your own gift/talent. Practice it, sharpen it; learn how to enhance, control and unleash it!
Never Give Up...Hope! Stay with it!
Never Surrender...to bad/tough customers. The tough ones teach perseverance; the bad ones teach grace under pressure.
Never Give Up...that Stooges-loving, crazy laugh, milk-through-your-nose sense of humor.
Never Surrender...your ability to heal and help others when called upon!
If you found this article to be helpful or appreciated what Herb had to say, be sure to comment and let us know.
Herb Merriweather is a voice talent based in California who has a future so bright that he has to wear shades. Herb grew up in a musical family and counts his experiences in choral ensembles, bands and gospel music as having played in integral role in the shaping of his signature style, citing his sister, Gospel singer Rosalind Graham, as a major influence, inspiration and encouragement. After attending a Baptist seminary for some time, Herb realized that God's call on his life was not only to speak the truth of His word but to do so in a way that would use his vocal gifts the world over through broadcast radio and via the audio medium as a voice actor. Herb has worked with many amazing people over his career including the great Ruth Dickerson, a Gospel music historian and radio personality. Herb Merriweather continues to build meaningful relationships with those in his community and seeks out opportunities to be a voice in the wilderness.

Posted by:Fantastic, Herb and well worth remembering at all times. We have had many challenges in life and always lived by the same credo. (I am a huge fan of Galaxy Quest too.) The other line I live by is, "If you think you will fail, you will".
Posted by:Thanks Herb! I needed that encouragement today. Blessings to you!

Never surrender! (unless the alternative is death or something else worse than surrender.)

Posted by:how about just being able to get a foot in the door to even say iv'e actually done even one voice over. iv'e been told i need 2to 3 thousand more dollars to get a start and i don't have it.lets see iv'e got the voice the desire can read well i'm already an actor been evaluated and was recognized as someone who could do this by the insiders from a voice talent agency. after a 127 dollar 4 hour workshop was given further recommendations for more workshops that would include the demo or demos for even more $ to the tune of 2 to 3 thousand dollars and i don't have it. i'm low budget poor.so there's no room for someone who really wants this but can't come up with all this money for demos and workshops? i'm ready to do a voice over job but here again is the hump in the road. cart before the horse as usual. can't get the job to make the money because i don't have money first. this is a problem that i hope someone can help me solve.
Posted by:Kevin...hit up your local radio/TV stations. Tell them you are willing to do some VO for promos, PSAs, ANYTHING for free and only want a recording of your work. The first thing you need is a demo. You can only have a demo once you have some recordings of your voice. Be clever. Go find the opportunities even if you have to offer your talent for free at first.
And Kevin...once you've done all that. If it doesn't work...DO IT AGAIN! And again. And AGAIN!
If it DOES work...do it again...and again....and again...that's the life my friend.
Posted by:"It's supposed to be hard, if it wasn't hard, anyone could do it.
The HARD is what makes it great." -- Tom Hanks, League of their own.
Herb's a great colleague. His approach to weathering the economic crisis is common in a country filled with books on making it against the odds. I'm all for filling my mind with empowering suggestions but statements like:
- Never give up
- Never surrender
put the focus on what we don't want, instead of on what we want. Think about it.
What's the differece between:
- I don't want to be a failure
- I want to be successful
I believe that our mind has a hard time processing negatives. The statement "Don't think of a blue tree" proves the point.
In order not to think about something, we have to think about it first. That's why it is impossible not to think of a blue tree.
In order to process "never surrender" and "never give up," our mind has to make a mental picture of surrendering and giving up first. How empowering is that? It zooms in on the very thing we do not want to experience. It's like telling an athlete: Don't lose this race.
I firmly believe that what we focus on most, is most likely to materialize. My message is simple:
Always focus on what you want.
Postive thinking is a plus. Taking positive action is even better.
PS Not so long a go I wrote an article about it you might be interested in: http://www.nethervoice.com/nethervoice/2010/12/09/freelance-career-fueled-by-fear/
Posted by:Thanks very much for this wonderful inspiration of Herb Merriweather.
John Sipple
Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! This letter arrived at a very low moment for me. It is tough staying encouraged these days. Even though I may need to look for other work to the pay the bills right now, I will not give up on my VO development.
Thanks again!
Herb, you're always an inspiration!

Did ComicsSpace just get useful?
ComicsSpace Bulletins just went online. If anyone else is like me, and just collected people for a little bit then got bored, there's a use for that account now.
I'm going to use mine to link people to stuff, as that is the purpose the the internet.

Unfortunately, I think there was a rush of people signing up for ComicSpace, all of whom were (rightly) excited about the possibility of a MySpace equivalent for those who share our interest in comic. As you suggest, once we all did that, what then? It seems as if everyone simply adds each others as friends and that's all they can do. The administrators may have unveiled the site a bit prematurely. Perhaps as ComicSpace adds more functionality, well, then, it will become more useful as you suggest. Let's hope.

Dermatology Chairman Announced
Wednesday, January 30, 2013 - Campus News - Contact April Sandefer, (405) 271-5067
Thomas Stasko, M.D., a dermatologist, has been named professor and chairman of the department of dermatology at the University of Oklahoma College of Medicine. He is also establishing his medical practice with OU Physicians. Dermatologists diagnose and treat conditions of the skin.
Stasko has a special interest in diagnosing and treating patients with skin cancer. He specializes in Mohs surgery. He comes to OU Physicians from Vanderbilt University, Division of Dermatology, Nashville, where he was director of procedural dermatology and director of the Mohs micrographic surgery and cutaneous oncology fellowship. He is board certified in dermatology.
"The University of Oklahoma Department of Dermatology has a wonderful and storied history," Stasko said. "I hope to build on that and add a little bit to all the wonderful things that have been done here."
Stasko completed a fellowship in cutaneous and microscopically controlled surgery at New England Medical Center, Boston. He completed his dermatology residency at the University of Texas Health Science Center, San Antonio, where he also earned his medical degree.
Stasko is a member of the American Academy of Dermatology, American College of Mohs Surgery, American Dermatological Association, International Transplant-Skin Cancer Collaborative and Dermatology Foundation.
With more than 560 doctors, OU Physicians is the state's largest physician group. The practice encompasses almost every adult and child specialty. Many OU Physicians have expertise in the management of complex conditions that is unavailable anywhere else in the state, region or sometimes even the nation. Some have pioneered surgical procedures or innovations in patient care that are world firsts.
OU Physicians see patients in their offices at the OU Health Sciences Center in Oklahoma City and at clinics in Edmond, Midwest City and other cities around Oklahoma. When hospitalization is necessary, they often admit patients to OU Medical Center. Many also care for their patients in other hospitals around the metro area. OU Physicians serve as faculty at the University of Oklahoma College of Medicine and train the region's future physicians.

I wouldn't coundt on AMD selling slow cheap x2's for a while.. To go intel dual cpu, you have to get a new expensive motherboard, and probably new memory, where as the AMD x2's plug right into existing systems. A simple cpu upgrade is cheaper than a new system. Reply -

Once Semprons have left s754 there would be an argument to have all Athlons on dual core and maybe even some Semprons. I think it was in 2007 that AMD planned to have abandoned single core CPUs. By then you might be able to pick up an el cheapo X2 Sempron.
Agreed. If you start from scratch, however, that doesn't count. Reply

I. Course Aims:
II. Texts
III. Course Requirements
All students will write 1-2 page papers each week to aid in preparing for discussions of the texts. Ongoing interpretation of the Bible is an important part of the religious communities that value this text; we will be doing this in an academic context. Active participation in discussions is a critical component of this class. Missing more than two classes or two weekly papers will lower your final grade by one full point (B becomes C, for example).
Midterm and final exam questions will be given in advance. The final exam will
be take-home and will be due on the day of the scheduled final exam. The final exam must be typed and double-spaced.
Our primary focus for this course is the context in which the Hebrew Bible developed. But themes in the Bible have been explored and interpreted throughout the history of our culture. There will be weekly short power point presentations on historical or contemporary uses of the Hebrew Bible in western culture: in literature, art, music, dance, drama, psychology. For example, the week we learn about the Exodus, a presentation could focus on depictions of Moses artistically. Presentations should take about 15 minutes. See Guidelines for Presentations. Signup for each week will start the second week of class. Signup List for Presentations

Re: Floated off the stands
I'm not sure exactly what happened. The cabin remained pretty dry. Seems more like a boat landed on the starboard side, all the stanchions are bent forward. seems like most collision damage. The engine looks flooded, no battery power at the moment, and the bottom of the rudder is about 2 inches further to the right than the top. The flooding was about 6 feet above ground level, and apparently 32 boats got swept into a big pile between buildings. I can't really tell if the mast is straight.
Re flooding: in this case once the storm surge went down, it did not come up nearly as high again. On a "normal" grounding I tend to agree with you, but happily have no direct experience. There are boats high and dry all over the area, in places that seem to be well above sea level. A lot of floating docks went over the tops of pilings, which are 15 feet high?

This is a recipe that I've been making about once a week at our house. For my husband and me, it is a delicious way to bake fish, and for the kids, it is similar enough to "fried" fish that they can dip it in homemade ketchup.
It is my copy cat of a delicious pecan crusted flounder that was served at a favorite restaurant that closed. (That same restaurant was the inspiration for my crock pot barbecue ribs).
- 4 pieces of fish of choice (flounder, whiting or cod recommended)
- ¼ cup of butter
- 2 eggs
- salt, pepper, and garlic, to taste
- 1 cup walnuts, pecans or a mixture, ground into a meal in a food processor or blender
- lettuce or spinach
- pumpkin seeds
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- extra pecans for salad (optional)
- feta cheese to top salad (optional)
- balsamic vinegar or homemade dressing of choice (optional)
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees and make sure fish is defrosted if using frozen.
- While heating, whisk eggs until smooth in a bowl and put walnut/pecan meal mixture on a large plate.
- Dredge each piece of fish in egg mixture and then dip in the walnut/pecan meal mix. Nut mixture will not stick as well as flour and this is ok. You should have some leftover nut meal after lightly coating the fish.
- Carefully place each piece in a large baking dish.
- After all fish is in dish, put any remaining nut meal mixture on top of fish and pat down.
- Put fish into oven and bake 15-20 minutes until cooked through and starting to flake.
- While cooking, prepare salad by washing spinach and lettuce and topping with desired toppings: pumpkin seeds, nuts, feta cheese, olive oil, and homemade dressing of choice.
- Serve and Enjoy
What is your favorite way to prepare fish? Ever made a copycat version of a favorite recipe that turned out good? Pleas share!

Veteran lawmaker Ichiro Ozawa said on Saturday he won't quit a top post in Japan's new ruling party despite the arrests of his aides over a growing funding scandal embroiling the Democratic Party of Japan.
The arrests are a fresh blow to a party that has seen a rapid decline in public support following a spate of financial embarrassments, including a $4.4 million fundraising scandal linked to Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama.
"I will stay on to fulfill my given duty, and squarely fight against such an exercise of power (by prosecutors)," said Mr. Ozawa, who is credited with engineering his party's landslide victory last August - unseating their rivals who ruled Japan almost without interruption for 50 years. "Our funds have nothing to do with money that is illegal."
Prosecutors arrested Tomohiro Ishikawa, a 36-year-old Democratic lawmaker who used to be Mr. Ozawa's clerical aide, for allegedly falsifying accounting records of Mr. Ozawa's key political funding organization.
Mr. Ishikawa, a lower house member, was arrested on suspicion of violating political funding laws over the origin of about 400 million yen ($4 million) in funds used to buy a plot of land in Tokyo in 2004 - a transaction that prosecutors allege Mr. Ishikawa did not report to cover up dubious donations.
Prosecutors also arrested two other people linked to Mr. Ozawa late Friday and Saturday. One is a current aide who is facing separate charges that surfaced this year of accepting illegal corporate donations from 2003 to 2006.
Mr. Hatoyama said he trusted Mr. Ozawa and urged him to stay on as secretary—general, the party's No. 2 post, as the party gears up for upper house elections in July. Mr. Hatoyama rose to his post in September, months after Mr. Ozawa resigned as party leader over the corporate donation scandal.
Recent media polls showed support ratings for Mr. Hatoyama's government plunging to around 50 percent from initial highs of more than 70 percent.
Keywords: Japan veteran lawmaker Ichiro Ozawa, funding scandal, Democratic Party of Japan, Yukio Hatoyama

Andrew Hardy Little Ox 2006
Syrah/Shiraz from McLaren Vale, Australia
Winemaker's Notes
The Little Ox is named after wine maker, owner Andrew Hardy, of Hardy family fame. Around 650 cases were made, so based on the previous review of the 2005 and the quality of this, the current 2006 release, it's quite simple, get it while you can. Dense and richly fruited, but light on its feet in relationship to its concentration, this is endowed with finer grained almost powdery tannins and is loaded up with a combination of both red and blue fruit on its medium fuller, fuller frame. Juicy, but dry, with some chewy density on the finish, this is still quite primary and evolving, but everything is in place for big reviews again. Hopefully there will be some around when the tallies come forth. The smart money will place their bets now.
"Ruby-red. Spicy red berry aromas are brightened by subtle white pepper and floral qualities. Juicy and fresh on the palate, with red berry element gaining richness with air and taking a turn to cherry. The spiciness builds through the long, energetic finish of this well-balanced shiraz."
-International Wine CellarCritical Acclaim
The Wine Advocate - "The 2006 Little Ox spent 20 months in seasoned barriques before bottling without fining or filtration. It is opaque purple in color with a superb nose of mineral, cedar, blackberry, and blueberry. Rich and layered, it will evolve for several years but can be enjoyed now. It is an outstanding value." -
International Wine Cellar - "Ruby-red. Spicy red berry aromas are brightened by subtle white pepper and floral qualities. Juicy and fresh on the palate, with red berry element gaining richness with air and taking a turn to cherry. The spiciness builds through the long, energetic finish of this well-balanced shiraz."
Andrew Hardy Winery
With grapes grown by the winemaker's father, Robert G. Hardy, son Andrew takes special care to produce wine that is rich and bold for a classic old vine Australian Shiraz. These vines date back to 1891 and can be found on the upper Tintara vineyard in McLaren Vale. Made by winemaker Andrew "Ox" Hardy, these are exceptionally limited and carefully crafted wines. Alas, there's precious little to go around. However, the 2007 release of a new wine called "Little Ox" is cause for great excitement - cuttings were taken from the original block and planted on a reconditioned hillside on the same property. The result – textbook Shiraz with a pedigree like no other at a fabulous price. View all Andrew Hardy Wines About McLaren Vale
McLaren Vale is home to the oldest Australian vineyard, with grapes planted in 1838. It's a coastal area, the Indian Ocean bordering the west, which leads to a cooling factor that prevents the grapes from getting too hot. In all, the climate is a perfect one for the vines.
Notable Facts
In McLaren Vale, there are vines as far as the eye can see. As in other parts of Australia, Shiraz and Grenache are the top grapes of the region, with some Cabernet Sauvignon planted as well. While red rules, whites are able to hold their own here too. With the warm yet reasonable Mediterranean climate, white grapes like Chardonnay, Semillon and even some Sauvignon Blanc grow well. The wines are round and smooth and the producers in the regions are excellent.About Australia
Like the United States, which is about the same size, Australia's winemaking regions are huddled into one or two pockets of the country. The state of South Australia, which produces about 60% of the country's wine, also has the most wineries and sub-regions, including McLaren Vale, Clare Valley, Coonawarra and Barossa Valley. New South Wales is home to the Hunter Valley, while the smaller, southern state of Victoria is best known for theYarra Valley. Head way west to the very large state of Western Australia and you'll find the tiny region of Margaret River at the southern tip. -
Customer Reviews

Most wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.Wine Style Guide
Light & Crisp
- Light to medium bodied wines that are high in acid and light to medium fruit. Typically no oak.
Fruity & Smooth
- Light to medium bodied wines with lots of juicy fruit, typically medium acid and medium oak.
Rich & Creamy
- Full bodied wines that have typically undergone malo-lactic fermentation and/or spent time in oak.

- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
Gamma hydroxybutyrate (GHB) is a powerful central nervous system depressant. The number of individuals seeking treatment for GHB abuse has been steadily increasing in the United States. Currently, lorazepam and pentobarbital are two medications used to treat individuals who experience GHB-withdrawal symptoms. The purpose of this study is to describe the signs and symptoms of GHB withdrawal and to identify predictors of withdrawal severity. The study will also evaluate the safety and effectiveness of treatment with lorazepam versus pentobarbital for GHB detoxification.

Drug: Lorazepam
Other Name: Ativan
Drug: Pentobarbital
Other Name: Nembuta
Detailed Description:
GHB and GHB precursors such as 1,4-butanediol and gamma-butylrolactone (GBL) have become popular drugs of abuse. In cases of severe withdrawal, delirium, confusion, hallucinations, and agitation can occur. There has been a sharp rise in the number of GHB related emergency room visits over the past few years, yet little is known about the effective treatment of GHB withdrawal and dependence. The purpose of this study is to describe the signs and symptoms of GHB withdrawal, identify predictors of withdrawal severity, and evaluate the safety and effectiveness of treatment for GHB detoxification. There will be compensation for screening assessments.
The study includes two phases. The open-label Phase 1 will aim to determine the safety of lorazepam for the treatment of mild GHB withdrawal. Participants who progress into moderate or severe withdrawal will enter the controlled Phase 2. In Phase 2, participants will be randomly assigned to receive either lorazepam or pentobarbital in order to determine which drug is more effective in treating GHB withdrawal.
The study will consist of 1 to 2 outpatient screening visits, followed by up to 15 days of inpatient detoxification treatment and assessment. After hospital discharge from inpatient treatment, measures of protracted GHB withdrawal and psychiatric symptoms will be obtained on an outpatient weekly basis for 8 weeks. Repeat measures of cognitive functioning will be obtained at baseline, termination of treatment, and at 30, 60, and 90-day follow-up intervals in order to assess long-term neurocognitive effects of GHB withdrawal and use.

The Experience Music Project "Hey Punk" Shows and Skateboard Demo by Steve Pingleton Once again, the Experience Music Project museum in Seattle busts out the epic 3 day long bash, including 13 bands and so many "old school" skateboarders it felt like the eighties all over again, but better... Day ONE: We started our weekend on Friday with the marathon skatepark tour, I wanted to show Michael around some of the best new parks recently built here in Washington. We hit 7 skateparks in 3 days, mostly Dreamland parks, starting with a ferry ride to the Bainbridge Island park, where we met some way cool California skaters who were also in town for the EMP event. From there we hit up Gig Harbor's skatepark, then on to the big bowl at Sumner for some vert action. By that time it was getting late, so we hit up my pad for a quick shower, beerz and grub, then headed downtown to EMP for a screening of "Twenty to Life" and "Dogtown and the Z-Boys" on the big screen at the museum. Afterwards, Wentzle Ruml answered questions from a very enthusiastic audience. Read the whole interview here. Day TWO: Saturday we were a bit thrashed (getting old is hell!) from traveling, but Michael wanted to skate a park in Federal Way he had helped design with his friend Perry, but had never seen finished. We warmed up there, and then went over to the Burien skatepark, my best friend Doug's favorite spot, a killer intermediate skatepark with a snakerun into a clover bowl, and very cool locals. Michael seemed to love this park, and it was hard to get him to leave, but I wanted to go downtown to my new hangout, the Ballard bowl. [Michael DID love this park! ed.] Dreamland has recently donated this sick bowl (with real pool coping!) to the city, with help from some ambitious locals. I grew up in Phoenix, I have skated hundreds of pools, and this bowl is one of the best pools I have ever skated. I knew this was where the shit was going to happen this weekend, and it did... Soon after we arrived at the Ballard Bowl, we got word that the JFA crew was in route with the Deathbox team, so we got some runs in and grabbed lunch before the chaos hit. Soon Brian Brannon showed up with the whole band, and the new Deathbox team including Dave Hackett, Tom Inouye, Dave Reul, Adrian Demain, Arab and his son Nathan Groff (super grom!), Doug "Pineapple" Saladino (out with a broken ankle), and an insane OR skater named Eric. Hackett had a ghetto blaster/ backpack and placed it strategically on the island between bowls and cranked the jamz, what I would call "old school" heavy metal, AC/DC, ZZ Top, Zeppelin, etc. to get everyone pumped. The Ballard locals were ripping too, and insane lines were shared and lots of beer and blood was spilled, totally ragin' session 4 sure. We just got out of the pool and watched, and a great time was had by everyone, but it had just begun...
We then went back to the hotel where everyone was staying and hung out in Brian and Don's room (JFA) to cleanup for the Dickies show. I bet that fancy hotel had never been invaded by skaters in force like that before, it was kinda funny to see tattoos and skateboards everywhere, the suits didn't know what they were in for! Then off to EMP for a killer supper, and many pre-concert drinks in the way phat Liquid Lounge. Highlights included Brian B. with double fisted martinis, and hearing crazy stories from some Olympia locals upstairs. I also met a very cool photographer named Ray who was travelling with the Deathbox team, and we hungout together backstage. The staff at EMP was so cool to everyone, as usual, there were 3-4 big tables of skaters totally raging, and they took care of us all. Much respect and thanks go out to Andrew, Danny and those behind the scenes for flowing all the food and drinks, and passes for us all... Well, due to all the drinks and stories, we missed local band Portriat of Poverty, but made it upstairs to see the Dwarves tearing it up in the Sky Church. They have a big following, and I can see why, they were radd! The concert security guards were a bunch of Nazi's, hassling me even though I had a photo pass, but I managed to get some great photos of the Dwarves and the Angry Samoans, who also ripped it up. Dave Reul (funny guy!) had me take a photo of an old guy who was backstage in a wheelchair watching the Samoans, classic.... Also due too too many drinks, and moshing in the Sky Church with those guys, I loaded my film wrong and all my photos of the Dickies got wasted, but at least I got to see them play. They are a punk legend, I can see why now, good songs and their music has a sense of humour. They really seemed to be having alot of fun up there with their stuffed animals. Great show, but we were too tired to go out and party anymore, though I'm sure many of the crew kept on raging afterwards, what a night... Day THREE: Sunday was the big skateboard demo, another busy day for sure. We started out in downtown Seattle at the "Red Bull Skid Road" downhill skateboard race, a way burly steep street race with a hairpin turn at the bottom. Watching those guys hit 45 mph and faster trying to make that turn was very impressive, several hit the hay bales. Next stop was EMP to hookup with everyone and see what the schedule looked like. The music had already started, EMP had setup the stage right next to the Seaskate skatepark, and Olympia band the Dirty Birds were kicking things off. We ran into Salba warming up the bowl, and when we found out that the demo was not until 3 pm, decided to go back over to the Ballard Bowl for awhile to watch him shred with Dave Reul and crew. This is what I was really looking forward to, Salba let loose in Ballard bowl, and I was not disappointed... Once again Ballard Bowl was assaulted by the Deathbox crew, with Salba this time, and some radd locals as well. I skated a bit, but by that time I was too tired to skate hard, so I ended up shooting film and watching. Reul had the bowl wired by now, with huge 50-50 grinds around the corners, and big frontside airs, I see why his nickname is "the Ruler". Salba stretched out for about 10 minutes, then totally ripped everything, you could tell he really liked this bowl, he was going BIG. We left early because we just had to see JFA play with their new drummer, but the session there was still going strong when we left. I'm sure those guys didn't want to leave Ballard to go back to Seaskate either, but that is where all the action was! Back at Seattle Center, JFA was finishing up their set, and we caught the last 4 songs of their set, including an punk rock cover of "Lowrider". Those guys are amazing, still going strong after all these years, and the new drummer, Matt Ethridge, rips and he's way cool too. The demo in the skatepark was next up, so the nazi security guards cleared everyone out except pro skaters and photographers. This was cool in a way because I'm sure everyone in the stands could see better with the deck of the bowl cleared off, and it was more organized than past years. BUT, I did miss all the way radd Northwest locals who usually rule that bowl, only a few of them were allowed to snake runs during the demo this year... The skate demo this year was definitely the Deathbox show, their team dominated the knarly bowl. Ricky Stiles was also blasting some big invert airs, along with Mike Folmer showing some major surf style moves. Salba and Reul were all pumped up, and Salba really ripped the big bowl this year, with backside airs on the hips, evil frontsides and even a pogo rock n' roll! Hackett and Olson were both slashing frontside grind/slides, showing all the kids what style was really all about. Wally was busting frontside airs, and Adrian Demain shredded some sic airs too. Brad Bowman was in there too, still ripping on his new BB model board. Arab and son got some good runs in, and a hot girl named Jessica was also ripping for the Deathbox team. Eric (aka "Rocky") from OR busted some large frontside airs, even though he took a bad fall on his head at Ballard the day before, talk about hardcore! At the very end of the demo Duane Peters showed up with Corey Parks, The Hunns Bassist, and took several burly runs in the bowl. Then several skaters decided to see who could do the knarliest trick off the tombstone (with 3 ft tranny with approx. 3 ft. of vert), Stiles did a rock n' roll and Reul did a frontside grind as things started to wind down. It is so amazing to watch these pioneers of the sport still skating hard, and see some veteran skaters that I had heard of, but never seen ride in person. These are the guys that invented it all, sure beats the hell out of watching all the "robots" at the X-Games... After the demo the skatepark opened back up for everyone to skate to the live jamz of the Briefs, then D.I. We made a beer run, and ran into Bobcat from Sleestak.net and had a few with him. I was really looking forward to Agent Orange, those guys always do such a stellar set, so I went backstage and shot some film. Agent Orange played all the songs the crowd wanted to hear, including "Miserlou", and "Secret Agent Man". Then the Huns came on, raging totally, and I was not prepared for them. The Huns bass player Corey Parks, formerly with Nashville Pussy, blew some 20 ft. fireballs that almost sent the banners on the stage up in flames! Very wild shit, great set too! Then I went and skated the bowl awhile, once the crowd had cleared, Reul was still ripping as the sun was going down... Time for the Adolescents!!! I must have worn that first Adolescents album out, I played it so much, I was looking forward to this set. They still got it together, even after all these years! Much of the crowd had stayed for this band, even though it was a long day, it was worth the wait. They did all the classic songs, "LA Girl", "Amoeba", "Who is Who", and a few I had not heard. What an cool way to end this retro event, with one of the best punk bands out of LA from back in the day. It was great to see all my old friends again, and make some new ones, isn't that what skateboarding is all about? Much respect to all the bands and skateboarders, and everyone at the Experience Music Project, especially Andrew McKeag and Danny Bland for putting on this monsterous 3 day event. Give thanks... |

So in case you didn't hear...yesterday, I launched my first e-book! People are already loving it, which makes me very happy! If you've been looking for a kick in the pants to jump start your brand and fine tune your message, The Fine Art of Shameless Self Promotion is a great place to start! That's not all folks, Oh No Siree Bobarooni! Today I'm launching the first phase of a new jewelry line called Modern Romance(tm) by Margot Potter.
About a year ago I came up with a concept for components I was intending to bring to the DIY market. I've been working with glass and acrylic components for many years going all the way back to my second book. In my mind, there were other directions to take these components from what was already on the market. I did some rough sketches and worked up some prototypes with my talented mother Sharon Scanlin and got a manufacturer on board to create them. But life has a funny way of taking you into unexpected directions. The manufacturer got cold feet and pulled out. Another kick in the ass after two years of relentless ass kicking. Sigh. I put the idea on a shelf, but never stopped thinking about it. Flash forward to a demo for an event and I decided to play with some ready made components and SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS and LOVED what was happening with the crystal and clear acrylic. I'm so tickled with how fresh and modern these look! And these will look even cooler with custom components! Hooray!
True craft confession time, I was TOTALLY done with jewelry making. I sold off a good portion of my stash in the bead soup mixes recently and was ready to do something else. After the component line fell through (and this is not the first product line of mine that has fallen through) along with the big disappointment of my last job and losing some of my biggest clients in the aftershocks...well...I literally threw beads in the air and screamed I DON'T WANT TO MAKE JEWELRY ANYMORE!
Every time I rearranged the studio, I stumbled on to the components. Every time I did, I felt this sense of total sadness at another good idea drifting away from me. And now, well, I've decided that it's time I take my destiny into my own hands. No more waiting for someone else to bankroll it, no licensing of my ideas and no more feeling beholden. It's time for me to shine AND to help others shine in the process.
Simple. Stylish. Sparkling. Sensational.
Modern Romance(tm) is a fresh and chic new jewelry line for the woman who
isn't afraid to let her personality shine through. Clear acrylic
components encrusted with vibrantly colored sparkling SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS
make for playful designs that are sure to garner endless compliments.
Not for the shy or retiring, Modern Romance makes a bold statement,
without being brash.
And I'm not stopping with marketing this to my current audience because let's face it, most of you already make stuff to sell. This is just the beginning. Team Potter is ready to rock and ROLL!
Check out the line and if you decide to order use the Fans and Friends 10% discount for EVERYTHING on the site!
"Ain't no stoppin' us now, we're on the move."

Mr. Belding is a trash-talking ... stomach-kicking ... stone cold stunning PRO WRESTLER ... and TMZ has the video to prove it.
It all went down at an event in Jersey ... where 61-year-old Dennis Haskins was serving as host and guest enforcer for a Pro Wrestling Syndicate event called "Saved By the Ring Bell."
Belding not only whooped some ass ... he dragged his victim all around the ring and taunted him mercilessly ... while a masked man in a pink unitard egged him on.

Kessler immediately jumped in and said KORUS was a great deal for the US — just as he said the health care bill was a tremendous "progressive" achievement.
The Third Way Foundation get its funding from (among others):
- Bank One
- Citigroup
- Dow Chemical
- DuPont
- General Electric
- Health Insurance Corporation
- Merrill Lynch
- Microsoft
- Morgan Stanley
- Occidental Petroleum
- John M. Olin Foundation
It's the job of Third Way to use "progressive" rhetoric to mainstream corporatism on the left.
Of course he thinks KORUS is good for the US. What's he going to say, the banks that fund his organization are tickled pink the US government won't be able to pass "too big to fail" laws, or ban risky financial products and services?
Most ironic was his statement at the end of the show that our trade deficit problems are due to China, and this is a deal with Korea, not China. I didn't get a chance to respond, but I would have said that this agreement is a backdoor to China Free Trade.
One of the worst parts of the deal is the "rule of origin" provision which says only 35% of goods exported by Korea into the US must be of Korean origin to qualify as "Korean made." Which means goods can be manufactured with 65% Chinese made parts, and still qualify to enter the US under the agreement's tariff schedule as Korean goods.
That's why Matt McKinnon, the Political Director of the Machinists, called this deal the "death knell for all US manufacturing" in a passionate speech before the AFL-CIO's legislative directors yesterday. It will dramatically increase the trade deficit, and make it impossible for US manufacturers to compete with an already robust Korean manufacturing base.
Remember, this deal was negotiated by George Bush — Obama just gave it some minor auto tweaks. It's being done now because a) the Chamber of Commerce wants it, and b) the US wants a military presence in South Korea.
All that stuff about creating jobs is, as Paul Krugman notes, pure hogwash.

- Shopping Bag ( 0 items )
From Barnes & Noble
The Barnes & Noble ReviewMomentum is the key to suspense, and James Siegel definitely has what it takes to unlock this tricky genre and draw readers into his riveting story from page one. Derailed starts with the story of an ordinary man, a teacher who divides his time between kids who think school is jail and real felons at Attica State Prison. His story gradually blends with one that's being shared by an anonymous inmate -- a compelling story of a mutual obsession that swiftly leads to disaster. It begins with a chance meeting on a commuter train between an advertising executive and a beautiful stockbroker -- both married to other people. They seek each other out, time after time, until an affair becomes inevitable. Then, just as they reach that idyllic peak, a brutal criminal shatters their lives. It's the perfect crime. The lovers are compelled by their situation to hide the fact that they are victims…even when their attacker moves from assault to blackmail. In Derailed, lies and small betrayals escalate inevitably to violence, murder, and more, often blurring the line between right and wrong. Sue Stone
