ray tracingIn computer graphics, an advanced technique for adding realism to an image by including variations in shade, color intensity, and shadows that would be produced by having one or more light sources. Ray tracing software works by simulating the path of a single light ray as it would be absorbed or reflected by various objects in the image. To work properly, the artist must specify parameters of the light source (intensity, color, etc.) as well as all the objects (how reflective or absorbent the materials are).
Ray tracing requires enormous computational resources, and is supported by only the most advanced graphics systems.

text: on Apr 3, 2013 @ 2:31 PMApr 3, 2013 @ 2:31 PM Published 'Everything on table' as US cuts defenseUS Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel on Wednesday said the Pentagon must "put everything on the table" as it struggles to digest major spending cuts forced by last month's sequester.In a major strategy address delivered at the National Defense University, Hagel vowed to press ahead with plans to trim the US military while insuring it can tackle 21st century challenges like terrorism and cyber attacks.Hagel praised the administration's strategic reorientation, which includes "rebalancing our defense posture to the Asia-Pacific and prioritizing critical capabilities such as cyber, special operations and unmanned systems."But the defense secretary said he is overseeing a strategic management review to "ensure that we are realistically confronting both our strategic and fiscal challenges." The results of the study are expected in May.The Pentagon is struggling to adjust to the so-called sequester cuts, which were allowed to take effect after Congress failed to reach a more palatable budget deal and will require the Pentagon to cut $41 billion by the end of September and $500 billion over the next decade.The defense budget, which has doubled since 2001, is expected to reach $614 billion in fiscal year 2013. The budget for the coming year will be unveiled April 10.Hagel said even if Congress manages to craft a deal to replace the sequester, the Pentagon must still tighten its belt."We need to be steely-eyed and clear-headed in our analysis, and explore the full range of options for implementing our national security strategy. We need to challenge all past assumptions, and we need to put everything on the table."Without giving exact figures on tanks, planes and other assets, Hagel said the cuts will "fall heavily on maintenance and training."He added that "any serious effort to reform and reshape our defense enterprise must confront the principal drivers of growth in the department's base budget -- namely acquisitions, personnel costs and overhead."Hagel also took aim at costly new programs, saying: "The military's modernization strategy still depends on systems that are vastly more expensive and technologically risky than what was promised or budgeted for."The cost of the F-35 stealth fighter jet program, for example, has doubled since 2001.Hagel also pointed out that while the size of US military forces has declined since the Cold War, upper-level command and support structures have not followed suit.He insisted, however, that "America does not have the luxury of retrenchment.""We have too many global interests at stake, including our security, prosperity and future. If we refuse to lead, something, someone will fill the vacuum," Hagel said.mra/jk/dw

I always do all the in-game trades anyway, but I generally don't expect much. I was honestly pretty impressed with them in this gen though, since they tend to have beneficial natures (Modest on Lillil is perfect - Lax on Minipete not so much so) and have nice stats. I ended up using Lillil in Black, but only to breed, since I wanted Own Tempo. But I managed to get my own Modest out of her, and with her 31 Sp Atk too, in addition to Own Tempo, so she really helped me out.

Evie Ladin & Aireene Espiritu
Studio Grand
Saturday, July 26, 2014 from 8:00 PM to 9:30 PM (PDT)
A rare solo set from Evie Ladin, in concert w/ Aireene Espiritu. The polyrhythmic heat of Evie Ladin's clawhammer banjo, resonant voice, real stories and rhythmic dance have been heard from A Prairie Home Companion to Celtic Connections, Lincoln Center to Hardly Strictly Bluegrass. Known as a driving force behind San Francisco's Stairwell Sisters, Evie's solo debut Float Downstream (2010), co-produced by Mike Marshall and Keith Terry, was quickly followed by Evie Ladin Band (2012), which won Americana Album of the Year by the Independent Music Awards Vox Pop Vote.
Evie started playing banjo at the age of 8, clogging since 5, and is fluid in these traditional Appalachian arts, even as she brings an urban edge and contemporary vision to her own stories, and deep interpretations of old songs. Based in Oakland, CA, Evie tours solo, duo with Keith Terry, or with her expansive stringband - Evil Diane. In every combination, Evie's live performance is a demonstrative, gorgeous storm.
Evie Ladin - banjo, guitar, feet, voice
Aireene is a singer/songwriter based in Oakland, CA, playing mostly original songs accompanied by latin/african rhythms, folk, bluegrass pickings and inspirations from gospel music - a mix of stompin', swayin', and timeless Americana.
She was born in the Philippines and moved to the United States at 10 years old, growing up in the third culture: the old country, the new country and a blend of both worlds. Mainly influenced by listening to Alan Lomax's field recordings from the South, and growing up listening to her uncles' Filipino folk guitar fingerpicking, her music is reminiscent of front porch storytelling, of ghosts and the living, times of laughter and tears.

Judge Cracks Down On Sockless Attorney
In Indiana, a judge told one lawyer that he could be fined if he doesn't start wearing socks in court. The lawyer has been admonished for this before, and reportedly responded, "I hate socks."
Good morning. I'm David Greene. Summer, the season for casual dress in the workplace, is coming to an end. In Indiana, a judge is already cracking down. He told one lawyer that he could be fined if he doesn't start wearing socks in court. The lawyer has been admonished for this before and reportedly responded - I hate socks. You would expect a more compelling argument from a lawyer. Don, I'm just looking, you have socks on today, right, Don?
I do, and they match.
GREENE: Oh, that is really good news. You're listening to MORNING EDITION.

Ann Rule
|Ann Rule
|Ann Stackhouse
Lowell, Michigan, United States
|True crime
|Notable works
|The Stranger Beside Me
Small Sacrifices
Ann Rule (born Ann Stackhouse) is an American true crime writer of such works as The Stranger Beside Me, about serial killer and former Samaritans co-worker Ted Bundy, and Small Sacrifices, about child murderer Diane Downs.[1]
Early life and education[edit]
Ann Stackhouse was one of two children born to Chester R. Stackhouse and Sophie Marie Hansen. Her mother was a teacher, specializing in developmentally disabled children, and her father was a sports coach.[2] Members of Rule's family had careers in law enforcement. Her grandfather and uncle were sheriffs in Michigan, another uncle was a medical examiner, and a cousin was a prosecutor. Rule spent her summers with her grandparents doing volunteer work in the local jail.[2]
Rule graduated from Coatesville High School in Chester County, Pennsylvania. She earned an associate degree at Highline Community College in Des Moines, Washington and then attended the University of Washington, studying creative writing.[2]
Rule worked as an officer for the Seattle Police Department. Early in her career she wrote for several publications geared for women. Beginning in 1969, she wrote for True Detective magazine under the nom de plume "Andy Stack."[2][3]
Her first book, The Stranger Beside Me, she wrote under her own name. Her next three books (The Lust Killer, Jerry Brudos; The Want-Ad Killer, Harvey Carignan; and The I-5 Killer about Randall Woodfield) were written as Andy Stack.
In 2008, the Library of America selected Rule's story "Young Love" from the book Empty Promises for inclusion in its two-century retrospective of American true crime writing, True Crime: An American Anthology.[4]
In April 2012, "48 Hours Mystery" covered Rule's successful effort to help a mother prove her daughter's 1998 death was murder. The resulting book was In the Still of the Night.[5]
Rule's book Fatal Friends, Deadly Neighbors and Other True Cases was named one of the top three 2012 Best True Crime Books, along with books by authors Cathy Scott and Kathryn Casey, in a True Crime Zine readers's poll.[6]
Her latest book, Practice to Deceive, about a 2003 murder on Whidbey Island, Washington, was released in October 2013. On the island for the launch of a book tour, Rule fell in the hotel and broke her hip, forcing the cancellation of the event.[7]
In 2003, Rule's publisher released Heart Full of Lies, a book about Liysa Northon, who maintains that she was a battered spouse and that she shot her husband in 2000 to protect herself and her children. Rule's book suggested Liysa Northon premeditated the killing and faked evidence of abuse.[8]
A defamation lawsuit filed by Northon against Rule and her publishers was dismissed in January 2011 by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.[9] in October 2012, Northon was released from prison, 12 years after killing her husband.[10]
Rule filed a libel lawsuit through lawyer Anne Bremner against the Seattle Weekly newspaper in July 2013, saying she was defamed in 2011 when the fiancé of Northon wrote an article accusing Rule of "sloppy storytelling." The suit, filed in King County Superior Court July 2013, argued that damage was done because Rule, to sell her books, relies on her reputation for accuracy.[11]
On February 24 and 25, 2014, a judge made two rulings dismissing the claims, finding that Rule's suit violated a Washington state law barring lawsuits that target the legal exercise of free speech and public participation, and that Rule had not established there were any false, defamatory statements about her in the article. The judge awarded Rick Swart, Caleb Hannan, the newspaper and one other defendants $10,000 each in damages, plus attorneys fees and costs.[8][12] "Rule admitted that she never interviewed Liysa or members of her immediate family," said Swart.[13]
Personal life[edit]
Rule lives in Normandy Park, Washington. She has four adult children, including author Leslie Rule.[14][15]

Not impressed,
Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: TP-LINK TL-WA850RE 300 Mbps Universal Wall Plug Range Extender/Wi-Fi Booster (Accessory)
The signal from my wireless router is fairly weak on my roof terrace and I wanted to increase its range, so thought, based on the specs and reviews here, that this would be the perfect solution. I chose this over the Huawei as the reviews were better and it was faster too, if a little more expensive.
After finally getting it to work (the supplied instructions are VERY poor) I have noticed a lower signal on my terrace than before. The range extender is placed at the door to the terrace (and is physically visible from everywhere on it), but when out on the terrace the best signal I can get is only 1-2 bars on my tablet, or 2-3 bars on my laptop. The furthest I can go away from the range extender is about 20 feet, as any further will see me fall off the roof and hurtle downwards at rapid speed, but the signal falls off before this - it disappears around 14-15 feet away from the range extender - it's not being obstructed as I have clear line of sight of it, and moving it to different positions makes no difference.
Before using the range extender I was able to reliably get a signal of 3 bars (occasionally 4-5) on the tablet and a consistent 3 (occasionally 4-5) on the laptop on most parts of the terrace. Even at only 3-4 feet from the range extender though, the signal is only 2 bars on the tablet, which is what it was in the same position when using the signal from the wireless router without the range extender.
I've tried various settings and resets, but nothing seems to be making any difference. To confuse things even more, the control interface for the device says it's v1, but on the box it says it's v1.2! There isn't a firmware upgrade available for it as the website says they don't apply to v1 devices!
I'm disappointed and a little p*ssed off to be honest as I was expecting this to solve my weak(ish) signal problem, and after 48 hours TP-Link's tech support haven't replied to my support request, which isn't impressive.
The low rating is for a product which actually doesn't do what it's supposed to do (at least for me), comes with very poor instructions, has contradictory information in and on the packaging and has what appears to be poor/no support from the maker.
I could well have got a faulty unit, but the lack of support from TP-Link just isn't acceptable, so unfortunately it's back to Amazon for a refund.
Not impressed at all.
Update: 31st July at 22h30
I finally received a reply from TP-Link support, a full 6 days after submitting my support request. They sent an email to tell me there was a reply to my support ticket on their support website, so I logged in to read it, but couldn't. After logging-in and going to the page containing the reply, trying to open the reply threw me back to the login page, where I tried logging-in again only to be told that the login details which I had successfully used 30 seconds before, were wrong! I tried this a few times with the same result and eventually reset my password, which worked fine during the login process, but when I tried again to read the support ticket reply, the same thing happened again, i.e. I was sent back to the login screen and told that my login details were wrong. Clearing cache and cookies made no difference.
This is a joke, but it's academic now as I've sent the device back to Amazon and have already received my refund.
TP-Link really need to get their act together as they've just lost a customer. I'm sure they'll survive losing one, but it seems I'm not the only one with issues with their products...

Finals have brought on a crazy week so please excuse the briefness of this article. The Green Bay Packers will look to wrap up the division title against the Chicago Bears on Sunday. Here are some key notes and match ups to watch for. The Packers must get the same running success they had last week against the Lions. The Bears defense is one of the best in the league so that will be difficult, but the running game for Green Bay looked very solid last week and if they get that same performance this week the game tips heavily towards the Packers. Green Bay will also have to look to slow down the Bears pass rush. Chicago's defense is strong enough and gets many takeaways, so the last thing the Packers need is to have the Bears in Rodger's face all game, forcing him to make bad throws against that strong Bears defense. The Packers must also limit Brandon Marshall's impact on the game. The first time these two teams played, Marshall wasn't much of a factor and the Packers will need that to be the case again. Getting pressure on Culter and forcing him to make bad throws is also a high priority for the Packers defense. Last game, the Packers got to Cutler and not only sacked him a couple times, also picked him off a couple times. More of this will be great. This is a "win and you're in" situation for the Packers and it would make it extra sweet with the playoff clincher coming against the Bears. Being on the road against a desperate Bears team will make this a very tough game, but the Packers pull out a close one, 24-21, and take the division title and seal their spot in the playoffs. Again, sorry for the very brief article, the articles should be back to normal starting with the game wrap up Sunday afternoon.

Rudd stated "I remember being a kid and walking this boulevard and reading the names and thinking about what so many other millions of people thought about, which is, 'Who's that?' The fact that millions of people are going to be able to now see me and ask that same question ... is humbling beyond belief." Ant-Man co-star Michael Douglas and his friend, actor Adam Scott, served as guest speakers for the ceremony. The 46-year-old actor is best known for his roles in "Clueless," "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy," "The 40-Year-Old Virgin," "Knocked Up," "This Is 40," "I Love You, Man," "Wet Hot American Summer," and "Role Models."

Robin Thicke Finally Responds To Marvin Gaye Lawsuit
Robin Thicke has finally broken his silence on the lawsuit he lost back in March over the issue of his Pharrell Williams-assisted hit "Blurred Lines" in a new interview with the New York Times. The lawsuit alleged that "Blurred Lines" illegally lifted the groove from Marvin Gaye's "Got to Give it Up" and resulted in a court-mandated payout of $7.4 million to the family of the late singer. According to Thicke, the decision came as a surprise and he explained his motivation to appeal on those terms. Thicke told the Times, "Obviously, that's why we're appealing. It comes right down to knowing the difference between being inspired and stealing. Why would I want to, or have to, steal from anybody to make my music? Inspiration can be subliminal...I know the difference between inspiration and theft. I'm constantly inspired, but I would never steal. And neither would Pharrell."

James Franco's latest antics have us wondering what's going on and when we're ever going to find out the truth about his behaviour.
Oh James Franco, where to start? Remember in February when everybody was getting weirded out by Shia LaBeouf and his Berlin paper bag 'I am not famous anymore' incident? Well one person who jumped to the actor's defence was James Franco, by way of a NY Times article entitled 'Why Actors Act Out'. In the piece he writes that he hoped Shia's recent antics were "intended as a piece of performance art, one in which a young man in a very public profession tries to reclaim his public persona." Now over two months on, Shia's antics are out of the press and it's Franco's own behaviour which is taking up tabloid inches.
James Franco, it's not a selfie, he's fully clothed
First there was the incident when Franco appeared to be inviting a 17 year old fan to join him in a hotel room. After the screen capped exchange went viral Franco didn't seem to deny that the incident happened and would later tell Howard Stern that he felt he'd acted like a "gentleman" towards the young fan. This was not what the rest of Franco's fanbase where expecting, because really the whole thing seemed too much like an elaborate stunt to promote Franco's movie, Palo Alto, which is out later this month.
In the movie, which is based on one of the actor's own short stories, Franco's character, a soccer coach, has an affair with a much younger pupil played by Emma Roberts. The problem here is, if Franco's Instagram pickup was just a stunt, he's still playing along and we're none the wiser, plus it doesn't look like things are getting any clearer.
More: So what happened between James and Lindsay Lohan?
Franco's next bit of online weirdness came last week, when he posted a near naked selfie to Instagram and then quickly removed it (not too quickly though, as a screen capped version is all over the internet still.) Franco's been a fan of the 'suggestive selfie' for a while previously posting a picture of himself in bed with the caption "what happened? I was waiting for you."
Franco has in the past spoken of how he enjoys using the medium of 'selfies' to create a public reaction. In another self penned NY Times piece he went on for nearly 800 words about the meaning and power of 'the selfie' which he later concluded were "the new way to look someone right in the eye and say, "Hello, this is me."
But now it seems, if James is trying to tell us "hello this is me", most people just want to wave him a quick goodbye. From the underaged flirting, to the selfies and lets not even get into the 'portraits' of Seth Rogen, James seems to making us all feel rather uncomfortable and wondering where the talent, intelligent Franco we once loved has gone
James Franco, is it all just a stunt?
Will it all turn out to be one big rouse designed to get us talking about James and the nature of the celebrity in the 21st century? We still hope so, though really if that is the aim you have to wonder has it been achieved or instead, has he just somewhat tarnished his reputation?
More: Before all this, James was on 'Freaks and Geeks', remember?
Really James, we've all enjoyed your work, ever since we first saw you in 'Freaks and Geeks', you seemed a little bit cooler, a little bit smarter than the usual Hollywood type. But now, if this all is an 'experiment' please just let us in on the joke, cause frankly we're starting to get a little creeped out.

A Ridgefield man will serve eight and a half years in prison for causing a crash that killed two people last fall near downtown Vancouver.
Ian J. Cole, 21, was sentenced Tuesday to serve 102 months in prison. Last week, Cole pleaded guilty to two counts of vehicular homicide and one count each of vehicular assault and hit-and-run death. As part of the agreement, Cole received the maximum sentence for each charge, prosecuting attorney Kasey Vu said.
Cole was under the influence of alcohol and marijuana the night of Nov. 17 when he got behind the wheel of his 2003 Ford Mustang and took three other passengers on a drive up and down Southeast Columbia Way, Vu said.
Witnesses said he was driving between 60 and 70 mph and did 360-degree turns (doughnuts), Vu said. The speed limit there is 30 mph. At about 8:45 p.m., Cole lost control and crashed the Mustang into a power pole, shearing the pole and causing an outage.
Jesse E. Orellano-Leister, 20, died at the scene. Cole's best friend, 25-year-old Benjamin Folk, was seriously injured and died a day later at the hospital. A third passenger, Maxwell Borders, 19, suffered injuries but survived.
Immediately following the crash, Cole fled the crash scene on foot and called Folk's girlfriend, Katie Locken, and asked her to pick him up.
At the sentencing hearing, a victim advocate read a letter on behalf of Locken. The letter stated that she had lost her best friend and her child had lost his father. She added that the worst part of that night is knowing how selfish Cole had been by leaving Folk behind.
"You have taken away one of the most kind and caring men … The punishment will never be enough to bring my Ben back," the letter said.
Janet Leister, Orellano-Leister's mother, spoke and said that her son had just begun to turn his life around.
"He was making something of his life and Mr. Cole has taken that away," she said.
When Cole had his chance to speak, he asked for forgiveness.
"I'm sincerely sorry," he said. "The decisions I made that night were far from being right … I should have never gotten into the vehicle and I should have never driven how I did. I had other people's lives in my hands."
He said that Folk was like a brother to him and that he has deep remorse for his actions.
"Words cannot express how sorry I am," he said. "I know words will never heal. I can only hope the families find the strength they need to heal."
Judge Suzan Clark said that she's used to hearing cases of vehicular homicide where the defendant knows the victim, but said "this is one of the sadder cases I've ever heard."
"Leaving your best friend at the scene … it's just unthinkable that someone would do that," she said.
Clark said that she was limited to the sentencing range for the charges, but said that "looking at the pain and suffering of the families, I wish there was more the court could do."

Dare To Be The First 0 commentsApr 14, 2013 10:47 AM
Dare to be the first is very important for being successful. If we are the first, we will have the leading position in the field and also we will be the one remembered and quoted by other people. This can generate huge benefit to our endeavor.
For instance, the Wen Zhou's businessman is the first to charter flight in China under the name of private enterprise. This rendered the mentioned businessman from a humble salesman to be a millionaire in the early years of Reform and Open Policies of China.
Marie Curie was the first scientist to use radioactive substances in medical field and extracted radium. Her story was one of my lessons when I was a boy.
Portugal was the first country to sail far out of Europe to the east and discovered the sea route to trade with Asia. This rendered Portugal a strong country in 16-17th Centuries.
Netherlands was the first advance commercial country because it was the first to develop the stock market in Amsterdam (Vega, 1688).Themes: Advantage of pioneerBack To Raymond YUEN's Instablog HomePage »

I have a table of 320000 rows which contains lat/lon coordinate points. When a user selects a location my program gets the coordinates from the selected location and executes a query which brings all the points from the table that are near. This is done by calculating the distance between the selected point and each coordinate point from my table row. This is the query I use:
select street from locations
where ( ( (lat - (-34.594804)) *(lat - (-34.594804)) ) + ((lon - (-58.377676 ))*(lon - (-58.377676 ))) <= ((0.00124)*(0.00124)))
group by street;
As you can see the WHERE clause is a simple Pythagoras formula to calculate the distance between two points. Now my problem is that I can not get an INDEX to be usable. I've tried with
CREATE INDEX indx ON location(lat,lon)
also with
CREATE INDEX indx ON location(street,lat,lon)
with no luck. I've notice that when there is math operation with lat or lon, the index is not being called . Is there any way I can optimize this query for using an INDEX so as to gain speed results?
Thanks in advance!

Any views expressed in this article are those of the author and not of Thomson Reuters Foundation.Another Arena of Abuse Unlike students in private schools, many children in government-run schools work as domestic help after school, exposing them to another arena of abuse. One of them, Vasanthi (whose real name is not being used because she is a minor), occasionally fills in for her mother as a domestic worker in a household that requires her to stay out of the kitchen when she is menstruating. On those days Vasanthi washes clothes and performs other tasks outside. "An uncle in the family keeps asking me about what's happening to me," she says. The posters at school made her feel it was OK to raise the matter with her teacher, who told her to avoid being alone with the man and to immediately tell an adult if his behavior toward her worsens. In feedback sessions with teachers at the 281 schools, campaign organizers have found that a significant numbers of children, particularly girls, are asking questions and talking about situations where they don't feel safe. One student, Karuna, spoke to Women's eNews about the posters. She said her mother had warned her about men, but hadn't offered any detail about what she meant. When she saw a poster with the message "my body belongs to me" she sought out a teacher to help her understand it better. She took the message beyond molestation to the sphere of bullying as well. Not Being Pushed Around Now she says she doesn't allow older boys in her neighborhood to push her around. "If they don't like me playing in their space they can tell me so. No one is supposed to hurt me," she says. The initiative began with a pilot project in 23 corporation schools, which are government-run schools, that included trainings for parents and teachers on how to field questions students were raising. One school hung a poster outside the principal's office in a part of the school the children pass every day on the way to morning assembly. When the board was put up, the children were taken class by class to see it and its message was explained. "Once a child knows that an adult is aware of what can happen, that someone might touch them or behave inappropriately, they are immediately more confident about expressing what might be troubling them," says Nancy Thomas, an activist and educator with Tulir. "Also when a teacher, a trusted adult, shows them the boards, their confidence that someone is at hand to help gets an enormous boost." She adds that the posters are acceptable for children because they avoid such words as 'sex' and 'abuse.' "This makes it more palatable for school managements to get involved," she says. "We are not avoiding realities here. It's just about giving information to the child and conveying that sex and abuse is one part of a larger context children should be made aware of." Private schools have not embraced the poster program. Administrators at these schools say they might convey the impression that child abuse is prevalent in their schools, says Vidya Reddy, an activist and educator with Tulir. "We believe every child is vulnerable to abuse. A child in a corporation school will face the face same kind of abuse that a child in a well-off home might face. The situations of abuse might just differ," Reddy said. Would you like to Comment but not sure how? Visit our help page at http://www.womensenews.org/help-making-comments-womens-enews-stories.

8/17/10 9:04 AM - Summer Holiday 2010
While I'm usually hard at work all summer I do occasionally find myself needing to recharge and escape the stifling heat. Erin has also been away from home for a bit too long and was starting to crave empty beaches, good wines and chilli sauce covered chicken that you only find in Australia.
We were lucky enough to have the use of a house on the central coast with both outstanding views and easy access to several outstanding beaches.
While we spent most of our time relaxing and recuperating we also stocked up on some of those luxuries which are hard to find in Tokyo.
We had an awesome two weeks and we're both enjoying a renewed spring in our collective step, enjoying the last days of summer and looking forward to the winter season…

Malpractice Rx
Was the patient still suicidal?
We give you facts of an actual malpractice case. Submit your verdict below and see how your colleagues voted.
THE PATIENT. A 30-year-old police officer reports thoughts of suicide. He was under investigation for illegal work-related activities and feared he would have to report his coworkers' involvement in these activities and lose his job.
CASE FACTS. The patient was voluntarily hospitalized for 4 days and received medication and inpatient psychotherapy. When he was discharged, a psychiatrist prescribed follow-up outpatient psychotherapy and antidepressant and antipsychotic medications. The next day, the officer fatally shot himself.
THE PATIENT'S FAMILY'S CLAIM. The psychiatrist did not adequately weigh the patient's depression and stressors, including possibly losing his job, and did not properly assess suicidal ideation. Also, the patient's mother claims she attended the discharge meeting with the psychiatrist and that her son expressed suicidal intentions at that time.
THE DOCTOR'S DEFENSE. The patient believed he could get another job if necessary and was no longer contemplating suicide. Also, he was a voluntary patient and could not be hospitalized any longer without consent.
