Having Sex is Vital for Healing the Mentally Ill, Experts Say
By Dawn Fallik
The Philadelphia Inquirer
PHILADELPHIA – James Leftwich wants a girlfriend, wants to get married, wants the same kind of "normal" life most others desire.
For years, he was encouraged not to try. Because of his schizophrenia and depression, those closest to him thought it would be too much for him to handle. Now the librarian from New York runs a dating and support Web site aimed at those with serious mental- health problems.
"It's harder for a person with a mental illness," Leftwich says, "but they shouldn't give up on the goals they used to have before they were diagnosed."
For decades, family members, case workers and the medical community have encouraged people with severe mental-health issues – bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and major depression, among others – to stay away from intimate relationships. Too much stress. Too much stigma. Too much risk.
A few researchers, however, are suggesting that just the opposite might be true. Over the past few years, they have publicly supported the idea that being in a good relationship can provide stability, companionship and support, just as it does in what they call the "nondiagnosed" community.
"They want the same thing that everyone else does," says Michael Blank, assistant professor of psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, who oversees several studies involving safe-sex practices among the mentally ill.
The idea of more discussion about relationships and sex, though, has proved to be a tough sell. Those within the system and those who study it say that most people don't think about the mentally ill being sexual at all.
"Providers have their own ideas and attitudes about sexuality and their clients," says LaKeetra McClaine, a research specialist at the University of Pennsylvania Collaborative on Community Integration. "Most of them just assume their clients are asexual."
They're not.
The HIV infection rate among people with serious mental illness is almost seven times higher than in the general population, according to a 2002 Penn study. People with mental illness are more likely to have multiple partners at one time, shorter relationships, and are sexually intimate sooner, researchers at Indiana and Purdue Universities reported last May in the Journal of Sex Research.
Sex and relationships, intimate or otherwise, though, just aren't on the agenda.
Patients surveyed say their doctors usually don't mention the sexual side effects of medications. Overloaded caseworkers focus on jobs, housing and medication needs – not holding hands and seeing movies.
"I think sex is an embarrassing topic for the therapist as much as anyone else," said Joseph Rogers, president and chief executive of the Mental Health Association of Southeastern Pennsylvania, who is diagnosed with bipolar disorder. "I never got much counseling or direct support. They don't have someone handing out advice for the lovelorn."
Armed with the high infection rates for HIV, researchers are trying to find ways to get information into the hands of those who need it.
One Penn study of 24 caseworkers and 300 clients at a mental- health facility is looking at the effectiveness of a safe-sex education program. Although the study doesn't end until 2008, the response so far has been mixed.
"Some say it's about time, and the HIV infection rates are alarming, and we need to provide condoms," says Julie Tennille, a senior research associate who works with Blank at Penn. "Other people aren't comfortable and fear that the program interferes with their religious beliefs."
Everyone agrees that mental illness, like any serious disorder, adds challenges to developing and maintaining relationships. Even those on medication have "breakthrough moments," said Eric Wright, co-author of the Indiana/Purdue study.
"Mental illness affects the way you perceive the world and how you perceive the people who care about you the most," said Wright. "There are some issues that can be a big challenge – like if you're psychotic, you can get caught in the feelings and delusions, and the people around you can become the object of your delusion."
It's not always easy for a partner to understand when someone hears voices or has major mood swings or becomes paranoid. Even so, Wright said, one study found that psychiatric patients who were allowed to get married also were less likely to be hospitalized.
Because sexuality in the mental-health community is just starting to be researched, it's unclear whether those who partner with other "diagnosed" people are better off. Many only date those in the community because that's who they know, says McClaine.
Mari Bennett, diagnosed with bipolar disorder, says she's dated both – with good and bad results. Married twice, she lives in a transitional-living program in Norristown, Pa.
It was her therapist who suggested she start dating again. Now she's seeing a nondiagnosed lawyer who knows all about her illness.
"I do take some pause before telling people, but everyone is taking a pill for something these days," Bennett said. "But if I'm going to bring someone into my life, after a certain amount of time, you have to have some very honest conversations with them."
Wright, who himself suffers from major depression, said the issue of coming out to potential partners about your mental illness is a huge one.
"It's much like HIV," the researcher said. "It's not something that's going to go over very well, and it might scare some people off."
That's why Leftwich, the New York librarian, started his dating site. By just being on the site, it's an automatic diagnostic heads- up, he said.
After three years, the site now has more than 5,300 members and four marriages to celebrate, he said.
"The possibility of rejection is still very real. The site isn't a cure-all," Leftwich said. "But it's more of a welcoming area, where people aren't so hung up on looks or what you've achieved. They're just more willing to give a person a chance."

By Lenny C. Lepola
The first two requests Sunbury received for properties to be annexed into the village are now approved with emergency language, bypassing the statutory 30-day waiting period before they became effective.
The first annexation, an Expedited Type II Annexation for 128.285 acres west of Sunbury known as the Dye, Walker, Kirk's Creek Investment Annexation, was approved during the July 9 Sunbury Village Council meeting.
The second Expedited Type II Annexation to bring another 183.912 acres into Sunbury, immediately adjacent to Dominion Homes Sunbury Meadows Subdivision, was approved Aug. 6 by council following a third reading with a small audience on hand.
In chambers were Brenda Price, Warren Owen, the attorney representing the Price family, Mike Shade and developer Joe Ciminello.
The only member of the public in chambers to object to the recent annexations was Cheshire Road resident Gail Jameson, who discussed possible commercial development of the land.
"When we moved to Sunbury on Cheshire Road we were told the field behind us would be developed as residential (not commercial)," Jameson said during the visitor's section of the meeting. "Other residents on our road were under the same impression. We moved to Sunbury to get away from traffic and big development."
Jameson noted that during the second reading of the Dye, Walker, Kirk's Creek Annexation on July 9, members of council voted first to deny the annexation request, then, following an extended discussion, put the annexation back on the table and voted unanimously to approve it.
"You voted two times on that annexation," Jameson said. "Maybe it's legal, but now you have a bad PR image."
There were two ordinances on the agenda during last Wednesday's Price Annexation discussion. Ordinance 2014-14 was the annexation agreement, and Ordinance 2014-15 was the annexation itself.
Sunbury Village Solicitor David Brehm explained that Ordinance 2014-14 contained minor changes that council subsequently approved; and Ordinance 2014-15 contained added reasons for the emergency language, also approved by council members.
"Sewer service to that corridor goes through the Price property," Brehm said. "It needs to be oversized to get beyond their property to the Dye property and the commercial development."
Brehm said the Price property has a high degree of contiguity to the village; three sides of the property to be annexed border residential development in the Village. He also noted that Dominion Homes has prepaid almost all of the sewer tap fees for homes in the Sunbury Meadows development. Dominion's final payment is in 2015 and those prepaid tap fees pays debt on the Village's $12 million sanitary sewer plant expansion.
"Our sewer plant debt service is paid by new users," Brehm said. "When Dominion Homes moves to the other side of Route 3 and has all of their tap fees paid, there's no other residential development in the village pending. If you put it off, fine, but if you want to facilitate that process this would be the next one."
With very little discussion council members approved Ordinances 2014-14 and 2014-15.
Last week a map began circulating via email showing a third Expedited Type II Annexation request for 247.471 acres west of South Galena Road, adjacent to the property annexed into the village on July 9 and reaching I71.
The drawing, prepared by ME Consultants, is dated Aug. 5. If an annexation request is submitted to the Delaware County Commissioners, the Village of Sunbury would be required to pass a services resolution and the annexation request would go back to the commissioners for their approval, then return to the Village for a 60-day waiting period before it's placed on a council agenda.

SIDE EFFECTS: The most common side effects of infliximab are:
Other important side effects include:
Reactions listed above could indicate an allergy to the infliximab. They are more common among patients who develop antibodies to infliximab and are less likely to occur in patients who are taking drugs that suppress the immune system, such as methotrexate.
Infliximab should be discontinued if serious reactions occur. Serious infections have been reported with other drugs that block TNF- alpha, and infections have been reported during treatment with infliximab. Therefore, infliximab should not be used in patients with serious infections. Moreover, infliximab should be discontinued if a serious infection develops during treatment. Testing for tuberculosis (PPD tests for TB) should be doneprior to treatment with infliximab because of reports of reactivation of tuberculosis in patients taking infliximab. Such patients should be treated for tuberculosis.

Judith Rinearson, a partner at Bryan Cave, LLC, is scheduled to speak tomorrow as an expert witness is the "BItcoin Hearings," about the future of the currency in New York. Judith Rinearson
The UpTake: In spite of a potentially catastrophic legal landmine, tomorrow's Bitcoin hearings could still lead to a federal money transmitting law, even if the change won't happen any time soon.
Just because two of the "Bitcoin Hearings" star witnesses, Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss took a major hit last night when the CEO of one of their biggest investments, BitInstant, was arrested for allegedly laundering drug money, doesn't mean the proceedings will be tainted, according to another witness who will be speaking at the event. In fact, in an interview earlier this afternoon she told us it might even help Bitcoin's cause.
"It puts the Winklevosses in between a rock and a hard place," said Judith Rinearson, a partner at Bryan Cave LLC, a law firm where she specializes in prepaid and emerging payment systems. "But if anything it will increase the urgency to have a regulatory framework so that companies who want to do the right thing can have a safe harbor."
Rinearson, who once worked with American Express to make sure all those travelers checks families buy on their family vacations were compliant with government regulations is scheduled to testify tomorrow, following Fred Wilson and the Winklevosses, as part of the panel on "Virtual Currencies and Regulation in an Evolving Landscape."
And while New York entrepreneurs will certainly be paying close attention to the hearings, which could lead to the creation of "BitLicenses" to allow the introduction of BitCoin ATMs and other Bitcoin-related startups, those in the other 49 states may have more on the line than meets the eye, even after the arrests.
"New York has always been one of the lead states when it comes to money transmitter licenses," said Rinearson, who is also regulatory counsel for the Network Branded Prepaid Card Association and serves as chair for the Association's Government Relations Working Group. "But I think a lot of other states are going to be watching and a lot of states will be waiting to see what happens."

I have taken this product quite a bit in the past but it is hard to tell if it helps. I was unsure about the soy but am happy to see they now label it as 100% GMO Free. I wonder whether the product has always been GMO free. The quality seems good but the price is very expensive and can no longer afford to buy this. I have also noticed that the ingredients now shows that it contains xanthan gum and EDTA. It previous did not have these ingredients and it seems unnecessary to add them.

this seems like a good product if what they say is true; although i took it for three months straight and felt no better or worse for the experience. the worst thing about this product is, the cost is prohibitively expensive for just about everyone. if this product costed even half as much as it does, i might buy every month or two but at this price no way. there are much cheaper alternatives on the market that are likely just as good as this...

First, the big news: Yes, John McDonald has grown a beard. And what are a few specks of gray, really, in the face of camaraderie?
"My wife says it's looking pretty good, too," Johnny Mac was saying the other night through a hoarse voice, the product of a lingering cold and the champagne celebration of a lifetime, the one that that ran like a current from Saturday night into the euphoria of Sunday morning.
How happy, indeed, the news: A piece of East Lyme — actually, its favorite son — is going to the World Series.
"How do you put this into words? Honestly, I can't," Johnny Mac was saying from the calmer, quieter climate of his home in Scituate, Mass., maybe 45 minutes from where the 2013 World Series commences tonight.
"You play baseball your whole life and you get to go to the World Series with your uniform on?" Johnny Mac said. "I can't wait for it to start."
McDonald was not on the active roster for the Red Sox in the American League Championship Series. But he was there in the dugout, the eyes and ears of the place, sitting there Saturday night next to David Ross. They were on Terry Francona's old haunt, the makeshift bench thing, watching Shane Victorino's fly ball rocket into the night, a little white projectile on John McDonald's own rainbow.
And then there was McDonald on the field after the game in the pile. The wife and kids came along later. If you saw Dustin Pedroia's postgame interview on Fox, you saw Maura and the kids in the background. On the Fenway lawn. A family photo for the McDonalds. And then this nomadic summer, all the moving from spring training in Arizona and then to Pittsburgh, Cleveland and Philadelphia, became mere prologue for the greatest chapter and verse of them all.
"You don't want a night like that to end,' McDonald said. "The guys just wanted to enjoy being around each other. Our families were on the field, the kids were in the locker room. A big family."
McDonald calls himself the Red Sox "insurance policy," there in case of injury to a teammate. Meanwhile, there is mentoring. His pregame work is ground balls with, among others, Xander Boegarts, 21. Johnny Mac might have cleats older than Bogaerts, who was born in 1992, the year Johnny Mac graduated high school.
Bogaerts was in Pampers 20 years ago this past summer when Johnny Mac won the Zone for Niantic American Legion, the ultimate Johnny Mac play, crackerjack and instinctive. He scored from second base on an infield hit in the bottom of the ninth of the clinching game. Johnny Mac never stopped running, despite an innocuous little chopper. Scored standing, too, spiking his helmet as if he'd just scored a touchdown, punctuating his best baseball moment, until his next one.
Now 20 years have passed. Baseball owes Johnny Mac nothing. A 14-year career, unwavering respect of his peers who call him "Pro."
And then came the call from Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro last month, the call that would change Johnny Mac's life. He was going to Boston. The team in contention. The chance — maybe, finally — to compete for the championship.
The pixie dust rained on him Saturday night, maybe even sprinkled from his late father, Jack, the man who taught him how to play baseball. Jack McDonald was a great Yankee fan. But where others might see irony in this story, Jack's son sees symmetry.
"The guys on this team play the game the way my dad taught me to play it," Johnny Mac said. "(Saturday) night, Dustin Pedroia was on the bench at 7 o'clock for an 8 o'clock game. My dad would have loved watching this team. I think about him the whole time. I was on the field in the last inning of the series against the Yankees (late September in Fenway). I caught the last out in the game that eliminated them from the playoffs. He would have been so happy for me."
The World Series starts tonight at Fenway. East Lyme's in the house. Johnny Mac will be calmer, most likely, than he was Saturday night.
"I'd never been so nervous before a game. Maybe nervous is the wrong word," he said. "Maybe excited. I never wanted to win a game as badly as I did (Saturday) night. We had to wait out the day to 8 o'clock. I'll never forget the anthem by the Dropkick Murphys. I'll never forget the whole night."
This is the opinion of Day sports columnist Mike DiMauro.

In a sometimes deeply personal speech on race in America this week, presidential hopeful Barack Obama defended the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, his longtime minister, while repudiating the pastor's more inflammatory comments.
But for thousands of parishioners who fill the pews of America's black churches, the Illinois senator did not need to contextualize Wright's message of black nationalism and apocalyptic prophecy -- they hear it every Sunday.
Wright, former pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, espouses a philosophy known as a black liberation theology, a movement developed in the late 1960s that advocated for a more militant approach to ending racism. The theology grounds the ideas of the black power movement in Christian doctrine.
But beyond black liberation theology, scholars and his fellow ministers put Wright in an even older tradition, in which black ministers, like the biblical prophets, used their pulpits to chide the nation into moral action.
"The church was the one institution black people always owned, a refuge where we where empowered to speak our minds," said Noel L. Erskine, a professor of theology at Emory University. "Wright is speaking to a community that understands his anger, some of whom, like Jeremiah himself, have seen lynching in their lifetimes. He came out of the '50s and '60s and much of that anger still lingers. But, and here I agree with Barack Obama, Jeremiah speaks as though no progress has been made. It is like he is stuck in '60s and is not going to let America off the hook for anything."
Historically, the church also served as virtually the only safe space in which blacks could openly discuss their persecution in the United States, and ministers preaching to a largely illiterate audience found that dramatically delivered sermons drew in the crowds and kept the collection plate full.
Wright, however, did not come under fire for comments made about discrimination or inequalities between blacks and whites. He was criticized for saying the United States deserved to be attacked on 9/11, that God should not bless America but damn it. And he referred to the United States in one sermon as the "United States of KKK-A."
"We bombed Hiroshima, we bombed Nagasaki and we nuked far more than the thousands in New York and the Pentagon, and we never batted an eye," he told his congregation five days after 9/11. "We have supported state terrorism against the Palestinians and black South Africans, and now we are indignant because the stuff we have done overseas is now brought right back to our own front yards. America's chickens are coming home to roost."
It is all about context, say Wright's supporters, including Obama. Parishioners raised in the church understand that preaching is loud, physical and theatrical.
"There is a performative style that accompanies black preaching," Erskine said. "You have to act it -- take the way he was fanning himself. How you say things is more important than what you say. There is a power in words and the way they are expressed."
If whites are surprised by the rhetoric, it is only because they are not familiar with the culture of the black church, Obama said in his speech Tuesday in Philadelphia.
"Like other black churches, Trinity's services are full of raucous laughter and sometimes bawdy humor. They are full of dancing, clapping, screaming and shouting that may seem jarring to the untrained ear," he said.

Should anyone wish to translate this driving guide into other languages, please contact me for permission(s) and provide me with a copy when complete. Remember: Plagiarism in ANY form is NOT tolerated!!!!! ============================================== ============================================== ============================================== INTRODUCTION For a game which retails for only $9.99 new (in the States), this is a damn good game :-) On the other hand, it can get rather repetitive - after all, races are only five to ten seconds in length, and it sometimes takes longer to load a new screen than it does to complete a race. On the other hand, IHRA Drag Racing features nearly thirty cars in six car classes, along with both Quick Race mode and career mode (comprised of all other race modes). There are numerous parts which can be purchased to modify cars for optimum performance. The CPU-controlled vehicles can and sometimes do make mistakes, which can include ramming the rear of the player's car!!!!! For those who have poor hand-eye coordination, this is probably not a good game to play, as a pristine launch when the lights on the 'Christmas Tree' turn green is imperative for the lowest possible race times; poor hand-eye coordination will simply result in A LOT of frustration. Also, getting started can be quite slow (even slower than getting started in the Gran Turismo series), but once a good second car has been purchased, things should progress relatively quickly in a player's career. ============================================== ============================================== ============================================== GETTING STARTED When each game begins, enjoy the opening title movie (which is a bit long compared to other racing games' opening title movies). Once the game has been loaded for the first time, a player starts with $10,000 and a default car. However, before any racing begins, it is best to go to the Options menu and make changes to the controller to the player's liking. The only buttons which are truly necessary in this game are accelerator, brake, and turbo (the D-pad's left and right buttons are used for steering by default); if a player wishes to use manual transmission, these buttons should be customized as well. Once desired controller changes have been made, save to a memory card and go back to the main menu. The main menu presents several options; of interest now is Race. In the Race menu, select Quick Race. This will cause the CPU to randomly select a track, the player's car, and the competition's car - and the two cars selected will often not even be in the same class. Winning in Quick Race only results in winning $300, but the money is not necessarily important at the moment. What IS important here is to become familiar with the actual racing in this game, specifically getting one's hand-eye coordination timed just right; the game manual suggests pressing the accelerator when the lights on the 'Christmas Tree' turn yellow, but each player has an individual preference, so this is the time to find that preference before entering a career. Should a player win a race, a Winner movie will play, then the screen will show that the player has won $300. While this may seem rather worthless, keep racing in Quick Race mode for at least twenty races. This will help a player's timing to become more or less instinctual, and any money won ($300 per win in Quick Race mode) is added to the player's starting money. This can be very important for buying parts at the start of a career to gain an advantage over the competition from the start of the career. ============================================== SHOP When ready, head to the Shop to peruse the available cars and parts. For convenience, I have listed all the available cars here, in case players wish to buy a particular car from the outset (if enough money has been won in Quick Race mode - although this will be a slow way to win money) or later in the career. The car (Chassis) selection screen includes other information: drag coefficient, total weight, and frontal area. This list is sorted by car class: Class Car Name or Driver Name Price --------- ----------------------- ------- Classic 32 Ford Coupe $27,000 Classic 41 Willys $25,000 Funny Car Dale Brand $40,000 Funny Car Jimmy Rector $40,000 Funny Car Mark Thomas $40,000 Funny Car Scott Weney $40,000 Funny Car Von Smith $40,000 Pro Mod Al Billes $30,000 Pro Mod Fred Hahn $33,000 Pro Mod Glen May $33,000 Pro Mod Pat Moore $35,000 Pro Mod Shannon Jenkins $35,000 Pro Mod Tommy Gray $33,000 Pro Mod Troy Critchley $30,000 Pro Stock Chris Holibrook $37,000 Pro Stock Floyd Cheek $37,000 Pro Stock John Montecalvo $37,000 Pro Stock Tom Lee $37,000 Stock 68 Mustang $25,000 Stock 69 AMX $20,000 Stock 72 Camaro $20,000 Stock 73 Trans Am $20,000 Stock 98 Trans Am $25,000 Top Fuel Bruce Litton $40,000 Top Fuel Danny Dunn $40,000 Top Fuel Don Lampus $40,000 Top Fuel Jim Bailey $40,000 For those concerned about prices, here is a quick-glance list sorted by car price: Price Class Car Name or Driver Name ----- --------- ----------------------- $20,000 Stock 69 AMX $20,000 Stock 72 Camaro $20,000 Stock 73 Trans Am $25,000 Classic 41 Willys $25,000 Stock 68 Mustang $25,000 Stock 98 Trans Am $27,000 Classic 32 Ford Coupe $30,000 Pro Mod Al Billes $30,000 Pro Mod Troy Critchley $33,000 Pro Mod Fred Hahn $33,000 Pro Mod Glen May $33,000 Pro Mod Tommy Gray $35,000 Pro Mod Pat Moore $35,000 Pro Mod Shannon Jenkins $37,000 Pro Stock Chris Holibrook $37,000 Pro Stock Floyd Cheek $37,000 Pro Stock John Montecalvo $37,000 Pro Stock Tom Lee $40,000 Funny Car Dale Brand $40,000 Funny Car Jimmy Rector $40,000 Funny Car Mark Thomas $40,000 Funny Car Scott Weney $40,000 Funny Car Von Smith $40,000 Top Fuel Bruce Litton $40,000 Top Fuel Danny Dunn $40,000 Top Fuel Don Lampus $40,000 Top Fuel Jim Bailey The Engine screen is absolutely LOADED with choices. Here, an engine can be customized on six levels, from the engine block to the heads to the intake to the exhaust to the crank shaft to the type/grade of fuel to be used. Buying the least expensive of all these options at once will cost $11,400 (the equivalent of thirty-eight wins in Quick Race mode); buying the most expensive of all these options will cost $56,900 (or 190 wins in Quick Race mode) - simply pocket change!!! Tires come in fifteen varieties and are purchased PER AXLE, with $200 the bare minimum purchase to get the least expensive tires (Street 27x8.9) for all four wheels. The most expensive tires are the Drag DOT 33x22.5 tires, at $1220 PER AXLE ($2440 total, or eighty-two wins in Quick Race mode). Transmission is the fourth and final selection in the Shop. Here, there are two separate purchases which can be made: Transmission (with each transmission type providing different settings for each gear) and Final Set (which affects all gears). The cost range is $1200 to $4390 (147 wins in Quick Race mode) for Transmission, and $1000 to $1730 (fifty-eight wins in Quick Race mode) for Final Set. Note that when selecting from the Transmission options, those gears with '0.000' listed as gear settings are not available. For example, the HP Custom 4s A ($4390) only has four gears; '0.000' is listed for both fifth and six gears. For those interested in buying one of the most expensive cars and all the most expensive parts for that car, the total cost is $116,860!!! Given that players have $10,000 to begin the game, and that only $300 is granted per win in Quick Race mode, a player wanting to have enough money to buy all this at the start of a career would need to win 357 times in Quick Race mode!!!!! Obviously, such a tactic is only suggested for those who are TRUE drag racing fans!!! Perhaps most important to remember is that in the Shop, THERE IS NO CONFIRMATION BEFORE MAKING A PURCHASE. This means that even if a player accidentally presses a directional button and make an unintended change, the player is automatically forced to take that equipment when leaving Shop. Therefore, it is important to note how much money is on hand BEFORE entering Shop, just in case. ============================================== TRACKS Unfortunately, only six tracks are available in IHRA Drag Racing; Grand Bend is located in Canada, while the rest are American tracks. These are: Name Location ------------ -------- Mid-Michigan Stanton, MI Cordova Cordova, IL Grand Bend Grand Bend, ONT Red River Guillan, LA Rockingham Rockingham, NC Maryland Bud's Creek, MD To customize a season, these six track can be added to the season column in any order; by changing columns, tracks can be removed. This allows a player to only compete at tracks which the player finds most favorable or where the most success has been attained. Also, adding tracks to the Season column will change 'Single Event' to 'Single Season' in the Race menu; in this case, each track will be used in the order presented in the Season column, and each track will host the equivalent of a Single Event. ============================================== ============================================== ============================================== CAREER When ready, a player can tackle a career. Whereas Quick Race mode only awards money for wins and does not subtract money for damages, other race modes WILL take away a player's cash should the car need to be repaired. Note that repairs often cost $1000; four Quick Race mode wins are required to recuperate the cost of these repairs. Single Race awards $1000 per win. If using the default car, do not plan on winning much; it would be far better to stick to Quick Race mode to win enough cash to buy a Stock Class car (prices here start at $20,000) to be better able to compete. Single Event is rather interesting, in that the player has the option to watch EVERY race in an event, or skip those races (individually) in which the player is not a participant. Once in a race, everything operates as standard. Should the player lose a race, the option is given to skip out of the remaining races in all brackets, or to keep going and watch other races (and still have the option to skip individual races). Single Season is a season's worth of Single Events. In the Tracks screen, players can choose which tracks can be used in a season, as well as the order of those tracks within the season. Once tracks are listed in Tracks' Season column, then 'Single Events' will change to 'Single Season' in the Race menu. Multiplayer modes allow for two players to race simultaneously. Each player must use a different memory card for save data, with Player 1 using Memory Card Slot 1, and Player 2 using Memory Card Slot 2. ============================================== ============================================== ============================================== GENERAL TIPS For those interested in buying one of the most expensive cars and all the most expensive parts for that car, the total cost is $116,860!!! Given that players have $10,000 to begin the game, and that only $300 is granted per win in Quick Race mode, a player wanting to have enough money to buy all this at the start of a career would need to win 357 times in Quick Race mode!!!!! Obviously, such a tactic is only suggested for those who are TRUE drag racing fans!!! In many racing games, there is no 'penalty' or problem if a player simply presses and holds the accelerator button until a race begins. However, in IHRA Drag Racing, doing so will mean jumping the start, and the player will be forced to again prestage and stage. This is NOT as easily as the CPU makes it appear when auto-staging!!!!! If the prestage and stage cannot be completed fast enough, the player is disqualified. At the start of a race, many cars tend to lift the front end high into the air. While this certainly looks great, this slows the car's acceleration, due to the shift in the center of gravity toward the rear of the car, as well as the much wider aerodynamic profile causing aerodynamic friction to slow the car. While some front-end lifting is to be expected, this can be reduced by using the Turbo as quickly as possible at the start of a race. However, Turbo cannot simply be used for an entire run down the track, or else the car will overheat and the engine will be damaged - or the car could potentially catch fire. Once the car is in motion down the track, it is imperative to keep the car in the assigned lane. Touching or crossing the center line, or even brushing the barrier, will result in disqualification. Even worse, the car could incur damage, which must then be repaired. Probably because each race is so short (under ten seconds), IHRA Drag Racing does not support using the Start button to pause... so there is no point in trying it. However, after a race, pressing the Start button is the only way to leave the race results screen and return to the main menu; IHRA Drag Racing does NOT use the X button for this (even though this is standard procedure in most PlayStation/PSOne games). Before beginning a career, it may be a good idea to have at least $3,000 of 'extra cash' on hand after making any initial purchases a player desires. This way, should a car become damaged, the player definitely has the money on hand to make repairs. CPU-controlled cars will sometimes make mistakes. If the opponent is in the lead when a mistake is made, the player may be able to catch up and make a pass before the Finish Line by using the Turbo. However, if the opponent is trailing the player, it is possible that the player will be rammed from behind, so it is important to ALWAYS be prepared to take evasive action, even if the player is believed to be far in the lead. ============================================== ============================================== ============================================== CONTACT INFORMATION For questions, rants, raves, comments of appreciation, etc., or to be added to my e-mail list for updates to this driving guide, please contact me at: firstname.lastname@example.com; also, if you have enjoyed this guide and feel that it has been helpful to you, I would certainly appreciate a small donation via PayPal (http://www.paypal.com/) using the above e-mail address.

About Piedmont(PEED-mont)
Notable FactsNot just regulated to red wine, Piedmont also produces some notable whites, particularly those near the district of Gavi and Asti. Gavi produces still white wine from the Cortese grape. The wine is dry with a crisp, citrus-like acidity – fairly neutral but pleasant. Arneis is another grape/wine made in the area, creating a fuller wine that displays some nuttiness in the aroma and taste. Asti is well known for its sparkling wine – in particular Asti Spumante and Moscato d'Asti. Asti Spumante is typically higher in alcohol, sweetness & fizziness, while its higher-class cousin, Mostcato d'Asti, contains lower alcohol levels, a few less bubbles, and a more restrained and delicate representation of Moscato fruit.
About Italy
A little ditty about Italy...This country has about as many wines as its had governments. With 20 different regions, hundreds of DOCs and even more indigenous varieties, the amount of wine made in Italy is mind-boggling. Most of the juice, however, remains in the country for thirsty Italians. Wine is food in Italy and its rare that a meal is consumed without a glass of vino. That said, it's not common to find many folks drinking wine without food either. In turn, it's a match, and a mighty good one at that. In fact, it's safe to say that Italian wine is a foodie wine – one that goes on the table for a myraid of meals.
For regions, the most popular are Tuscany (home of Chianti), Piedmont and the Tre-Venezie, which includes Veneto, Trentino Alto-Adige and Friuli. Other communes of note are in Southern Italy, and a few good wines are made elsewhere in the country. The islands of Sardinia and Sicily are members of the Italian winemaking community as well.

Alcohol By Volume GuideMost 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.

My Cousin, The Barbecue Maven
The NYT gives two stars to a Lone Star restaurant
On the Fourth of July, New York Times dining critic Pete Wells gave two stars (out of four; and plenty get zero) to Hill Country, the Chelsea barbecue joint. Calling it "a state-of-the-art Manhattan homage" to classic barbecue joints in Lockhart, Texas (which is in Texas's "Hill Country"), he concluded, "Hill Country may not be the real thing. But it plays the part better than anybody else in town."
Hill Country is near and dear to my heart, and not only because the moist brisket is every bit as delicious as Wells claims. The establishment is owned by my cousin, Marc Glosserman (who recently opened one in Washington, D.C. as well), and was in fact the subject of my first-ever contribution to Tablet Magazine—an essay which, as I see re-reading it three-and-a-half years later, has foreshadowed how I've come to view being Jewish in America:
One frequently hears the term "rootless" thrown around to clarify the Jews' condition as perpetual wanderers, especially as it existed in the pre-Zionist world that brought my family to the States, and some of it to Lockhart. But the example of Hill Country makes me realize that a far better term than "rootless" is "many-rooted." While usually not assimilating fully, Jews frequently adopted the mores of the culture surrounding them, executing a process of replication whose intensity, earnestness, and fidelity to detail would be familiar to anyone who knows about Torah study, or to anyone who has been to Hill Country.

The State of Testing
When I joined my first large team, I was naive. When I found bad code, I said, "you should leave things better than you found it." One day I found a method name that wasn't following conventions, and as pedantic as it sounds, the right thing to do was rename it. So I did. I updated all references, double checked my change, clicked through to make sure nothing broke, and finally, confident, committed my work.
When that change went live, our advertisers stopped receiving impression data. Our profit was entirely from advertisers. This was disastrous.
The bug: inside a configuration file, which nobody knew about, was a set of hard coded method names monitored by the logger code. Nobody knew about this file because the logging system was written a year before, and all engineers who worked on it had left or changed departments.
We eliminated these types of regressions by developing an automated test suite. According to a publication released by the Department of Defense, half the cost of a project can be QA. That same article goes on to say that by the time a project has reached the ten year mark, automated tests cut 97% of the cumulative test days.
That's reason enough to adopt automated tests, but there's a pile of secondary benefits.
- Your code improves. You write cleaner APIs and decouple logic when you're forced to eat your own dog food.
- You clearly define business logic. You ask questions when you need to define "correct" with true and false.
- You have supplemental documentation. A comment explaining your weird code won't stop someone from trying to refactor it. However, a failing test gets your point across.
There is a clear return-on-investment in automated-testing, so I was curious how many people do it. The results were depressing. Anywhere from 39% to 54% of developers don't write any sort of tests, according to the Department of Defense Information Analysis Center (2007), a GeoSpecial Developer Survey (2008), a .NET Developer site (2007), and this consultancy (2008).
This post will eliminate the excuse, "I don't know where to start." It will be a primer if you've never tested, and provide pointers if you're already familiar. We'll see:
- Structure of tests
- Levels of tests
- Tools to improve test adoption
While the examples I use are written in Ruby, most have equivalents in other languages. If you're on the JVM or CLR, you can even integrate these tools directly through JRuby or Iron Ruby, respectively.
Structure of a Test Case
As an example, we'll use photo cropper I developed for starrup, an actor website service. When an actor uploads a headshot, we present them with an ajax interface to crop it for thumbnails. This clearly needs tests because image libraries are ugly, brittle beasts, and we wouldn't be surprised if they broke between updates.
If we had no experience with test frameworks, we'd write this script that throws an exception if our code stops working.
@new_photo = @photo.crop_at(0, 0, 300)
if !@new_photo
raise "Did not create a photo."
if @new_photo.x != 300
raise "Photo didn't crop."
That works, but we're going to run into problems:
- "if/raise" gets ugly fast.
- Using an exception confusing when the app throws its own exceptions.
- If we run a bunch of tests in a row, we aren't sure if one test is affecting another.
- If we run tests independently, our setup/teardown will get rundant.
These problems are all solved by test frameworks. The same test in xUnit style:
class CroppingTest < Test::Unit::TestCase
def setup
@photo = Photo.find(1)
def test_cropping
@new_photo = @photo.crop_at!(0, 0, 300)
assert_equal(300, @new_photo.x)
def test_cropping_files_too_big
@new_photo = @photo.crop_at(0, 0, 700)
assert_equal(600, @new_photo.x)
Here's what you get with a framework:
- "assert" is shorthand for the if/raise.
- Assert throw failures, with helpful diagnostic information.
- Methods that starts with "test" is an independent test.
- "setup" gets run before every test.
This system is great. Most people who write tests use some variation of this framework. But frequently you'll run into people who use the framework correctly but miss the big picture. You'll see giant meandering tests. You'll see tests that touch a bunch of unrelated functionality, without motivation.
Like the rest of your code, good tests are concise, specific, and to the point. The clearest way you do that is by testing specific behavior.
We see "behavior driven development" frameworks like rSpec that hammer home this point. They load syntactic sugar onto xUnit.
describe "cropping" do
before(:each) do
@photo = Photo.find(1) # A 600x600 photo
it "should crop images" do
@new_photo = @photo.crop_at(0, 0, 300)
@photo.x.should == 300
it "should not crop larger crop regions" do
@new_photo = @photo.crop_at(0, 0, 700)
@new_photo.x.should == 600
When you run that, you even get pretty colored reports.
This format approaches natural language, but what if you pushed this one step farther? What if you could sit down with business people and write a user story like this:
Feature: Photo cropping
In order to improve headshot photos
As a subscriber
I want to crop photos
Scenario Outline: Crop a valid image
Given I have a 600 x 600 image
When I crop 300 pixels
Then the width should be 300
and what if you could parse it and turn it into executable code? Enter Cucumber.
Given /I have a (\d+) x (\d+) image/ do |x, y|
@photo = Photo.find(:first,
:conditions => ['x = ? AND y = ?', x, y])
When /When I crop (\d+) pixels/ do |width|
@new_photo = @photo.crop(0, 0, width)
Then /Then the width should be (\d+)/ do |width|
@new_photo.x.should == size
Cucumber adds automation to acceptance testing. You define how to parse the Given/When/Then lines as executable steps, and then you can mix and match them to make testable scenarios.
Depth of Testing
We've tested the image cropping operation. We haven't tested that incoming http requests call our code, or that we have security in place to prevent users from cropping each other's photos, or that we redirect users to the photo after we've cropped it. To test all of this together, we use integration tests.
Unit tests, as we've seen, test individual components. Integration tests test the wiring. Unit tests test object directly, while integration tests make full requests through the HTTP stack. Consequently, you write fewer integration tests than unit tests, because they're fragile.
There are a few popular ways to perform this "black box" testing. One is Webrat, which uses a fake browser to hit URLs and parse the resulting DOM. Webrat can fill out forms, follow redirects, and more.
def test_sign_up
visit "/"
click_link "Sign up"
fill_in "Email", :with => "email@example.com"
select "Free account"
click_button "Register"
# ...
Selenium RC uses a cross-site-scripting hack to control real browsers and inspect page results. It works with Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari.
open '/login'
type 'name', name
type 'password', password
click 'submit', :wait => true
However, given the Rube Goldberge like setup, Selenium RC is more prone to false positives than webrat.
John Barnette and Aaron Patterson are working on the cleanest solution to javascript tests. They use a webrat like system with Mozilla Spidermonkey javascript engine embedded inside Ruby. This solution is still in the works, but it's very promising.
Tools for Monitoring Coverage
Once you know how to do it, testing is easy. The real challenge is the social change to get people on board. How do you get people to treat test failures seriously? How do you ensure your tests are exhaustive? How do you know who is pulling their weight?
Cruise Control is a tool that runs tests on every commit and sends an email to your team when tests break. You install it on a server and tell it the repository to watch, and it handles everything from there. You should already be running tests before every commit, so the real value is the social stigma when a member of the team breaks something.
If you don't have the capacity to devote a server to continuous integration testing, there are third party services like run-code-run that will handle everything for you.
To ensure you're testing your whole app, there are code coverage tools like rcov. rcov monitors the lines of code in your production app that are executed when you run your test suite, and prints a report at the end telling you the code that wasn't run. It even has options to mutate your code as it runs, passing "true" when things should be "false", to check if things aren't failing when they should.
Finally, Jacob Dunphy at AT&T Interactive wrote Kablame. It's a tool that runs "blame" and counts the lines of code written per-person in a given directory. He wrote it to figure out who wrote the most and least tests in a given project. You get a top-10 to turn the process into a contest.
That's only the beginning
If this was your first exposure to testing, it was overwhelming, but by no means comprehensive. You may think this is all too hard, or all a waste a time. Didn't you feel the same way about object oriented programming? Revision control? When you started with those, did you go yak shaving (Java, design patterns), or wasted on immature tools (CVS, Visual SourceSafe)?
The good news is that testing frameworks and techniques are reaching maturity. The bad news: in a few years, you'll either know them or go extinct.

Zack's Kernel News
Zack's Kernel News
Chronicler Zack Brown reports on the latest news, views, dilemmas, and developments within the Linux kernel community.
Recently, the kernel.org servers were cracked by attackers who were able to gain root-level access. The attackers then inserted trojan horses into the source releases for certain Linux kernel release candidates (-rc releases). This attack caused a lot of work for the kernel. org system administrators and resulted in a number of discussion threads on the linux-kernel mailing list, considering ways to avoid similar security compromises in the future.
In one thread, Junio C Hamano, the Git maintainer, asked the kernel folks if there were any special Git features they wanted, that might increase the security of a Git archive that involved many contributors (e.g., the Linux kernel). He suggested providing the ability to cryptographically sign all pushes, as well as having Git produce more output on certain types of failure modes. Linus Torvalds replied, saying he liked the idea of increased verbosity; but, about cryptographic signatures, he said:
"I realize that cryptographic signatures sound very important right now, but in the end, *real* trust comes from people, not from signatures. Realistically, I checked a few signatures this time around due to the kernel.org issues, but at the same time, the thing that made me trust most of it was just looking at commits and the email messages. The unconscious and non-cryptographic 'signature' of a person acting like you expect a person to act."
"Technical measures can be subverted, and I think we should also think about the social side. Every time somebody mentions a signature,I want to also mention 'human readability', because I think that matters as much, if not more."

My favorite app isn't working anymore.
Rats. I can no longer upload images with this version. All looks like its going well, I fill in all the blanks, tap submit and a note comes up saying I have not filled in the location -- but I have filled in the location. Please, please fix this. Thank you.
Simple. Easy. Awesome.
Just like the title says. A small forum or an easy to access comment section would be great but the easy layout makes this app ideal for quick and convenient photos of tags and bombs.
Not bad
I like the idea . Good way to find so good art. I wish they would update it a little tons of these piece are gone and have been flagged as gone for at least a year now .

Dear folks, i got a mail from a client that wants to distribute a template of mine on DVD 's to clients via a membership deal on his site.
It sounds like a extended license to me but i really am never sure, he isn't re-selling them individually or something so i was confused. Hoping someone with knowledge on the subject had a quick answer for me. Thanks.
Yeah extended license
Figured that would be it butlerm, thanks for the confirmation.
