Representatives of various Palestinian factions on Thursday delivered a letter to UN Secretary-General Ban Kimoon in support of accepting a Palestinian state as a full member of the UN, seemingly kicking off the PA's September UN maneuver.Palestinian Authority officials denied that the letter was an official request to the UN to recognize a Palestinian state along the pre-1967 lines. They said that the factions decided to deliver the letter as part of a popular campaign in support of the statehood bid.RELATED:Netanyahu again calls for talks without conditionsAbbas: Statehood bid isn't aimed at delegitimizing IsraelThe factions chose to launch their campaign in front of the UN offices in Ramallah.Latifa Abu Hmeid, the mother of seven Palestinian prisoners held in Israel, was chosen to deliver the letter to the UN secretary- general. Another one of her sons was shot and killed by the IDF.The letter sought Ban's backing for turning a Palestinian state into the 194th member of the UN. It said that Palestinians will continue to carry out various activities to support the statehood bid ahead of the vote in the UN on the PA's application for recognition of a state later this month.The letter stated that the Palestinians were aspiring to achieve their right to freedom and dignity through the establishment of a state on the June 4, 1967, lines, with east Jerusalem as its capital. The letter also made it clear that the Palestinians are demanding the right of return to their families' original homes inside Israel.Fatah spokesman Ahmed Assaf said that it was time that the world "heard the voice of our people and stopped our suffering." He called on the UN and the international community to facilitate the membership request of the Palestinian state in the UN.
An Israeli government official said in response that "it is clear that you can't dictate peace from the outside. Peace can, and must, only be negotiated between the parties – there is no substitute for that."The official said that by avoiding negotiations with Israel and embarking on an "adventure that has the potential to destabilize the situation," the Palestinian leadership was "failing its own people."Government officials said that "endless" meetings were taking place looking at the range of possible scenarios and planning various responses."September for us is not a month, but an action item," the official said.Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's position is to keep Israel's options very close to his chest. Israel has no intention, officials said, of revealing how it would react to the Palestinian move, waiting to see how matters develop on the ground before deciding what counteractions to take.Among the possible responses that have been bandied about are declaring the Oslo accords null and void, or annexing the major settlement blocs to Israel. Numerous other less extreme responses are also on the table.Defense Minister Ehud Barak, speaking at an IDF ceremony in Zichron Ya'acov, called on PA President Mahmoud Abbas to return to negotiations for the sake of "all our children and grandchildren. I call on the leaders of the international community to contribute what they can to ensuring that this happens."The PLO Executive Committee, meanwhile, announced that the Palestinians will proceed with their statehood bid. The announcement was made following a meeting of the committee headed by Abbas.PLO Secretary-General Yasser Abed Rabbo said that the PA believes that the statehood initiative would help revive the peace process in order to achieve a two-state solution on the basis of the pre-1967 lines.The PLO also urged Palestinians to launch peaceful campaigns in support of the statehood plan.The PLO accused Israel of misleading and frightening the Israeli public.The establishment of a Palestinian state and ending occupation does not harm Israeli legitimacy, the PLO said in a statement. On the contrary, it said, this is the only way to secure the security of all people in this region.Abbas's spokesman, Nabil Abu Rudaineh, stressed that Israeli and US opposition to the statehood plan won't deter the PA leadership from going to the Security Council and the General Assembly.He said that Abbas told US envoy David Hale during their meeting in Ramallah on Wednesday that the Palestinians don't want a clash with the US.The US announced officially on Thursday that it would veto a Palestinian request for state recognition if it is submitted to the UN Security Council later this month.Wendy Sherman, President Barack Obama's nominee for undersecretary of state for policy, the department's third-ranking position, told the Senate during confirmation hearings that if any such resolution were put in front of the Security Council, the US would veto it."The United States is very resolved to a veto threat in the Security Council," Sherman said. "What we are very resolved about as well is urging the parties to enter into direct negotiations again."Israel applauded Sherman's statement, with one official saying that "we welcome that as an important statement, and we have reason to believe that the US will not be alone in opposing the move."Israel has been actively lobbying the 27-member EU against supporting the PA at the UN, and German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle and Czech Prime Minister Petr Necas are expected to arrive in Israel next week to discuss the matter. Germany and the Czech Republic are two of the countries on record as opposing the PA move.In addition, EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton is expected to come to the region for additional meetings next week, her second time here in less than three weeks.While the EU foreign ministers held an informal meeting last week in Poland, Western diplomat officials said they were still far from reaching a consensus on their position, and the EU's voting on this matter – whether it will split on this issue or vote as a unified block – depended to a large degree on what resolution the Palestinians will ultimately bring to the UN.The officials added that the Europeans were not actively involved in writing the resolution for the Palestinians in a way that would enable EU support, and that various EU leaders have impressed on the Palestinians the need to return to talks.

Prevalence and predictors of recurrence of major depressive disorder in the adult population
De Gelderse Roos, Institute for Mental Health Care, Ede, The Netherlands.Acta Psychiatrica Scandinavica (Impact Factor: 5.61). 12/2009; 122(3):184-91. DOI: 10.1111/j.1600-0447.2009.01519.x

Knowledge of the risk of recurrence after recovery of a major depressive disorder (MDD) is of clinical and scientific importance. The purpose of this paper was to provide a systematic review of the prevalence and predictors of recurrence of MDD.
Studies were searched in Medline en PsychINFO using the search terms 'recur*', 'relaps*', 'depress*', 'predict*' and course.
Recurrence of MDD in specialised mental healthcare settings is high (60% after 5 years, 67% after 10 years and 85% after 15 years) and seems lower in the general population (35% after 15 years). Number of previous episodes and subclinical residual symptoms appear to be the most important predictors. Gender, civil status and socioeconomic status seem not related to the recurrence of MDD.
Clinical factors seem the most important predictors of recurrence. Data from studies performed in the general population and primary care on the recurrent course of MDD are scarce.

- "Patients whose follow-up data were unavailable or who did not experience a relapse/recurrence before the end of the follow-up period were treated as censored observations. Regression analyses were performed with and without adjustment for depressive symptoms at baseline and number of depressive episodes in the past (log transformed), factors known to predict relapse/recurrence (Hardeveld et al., 2010). As there were no effects of research site on relapse/recurrence, we did not include site in our statistical models. "
Article: Adding mindfulness-based cognitive therapy to maintenance antidepressant medication for prevention of relapse/recurrence in major depressive disorder: Randomised controlled trial[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) and maintenance antidepressant medication (mADM) both reduce the risk of relapse in recurrent depression, but their combination has not been studied. Our aim was to investigate whether the addition of MBCT to mADM is a more effective prevention strategy than mADM alone. This study is one of two multicenter randomised trials comparing the combination of MBCT and mADM to either intervention on its own. In the current trial, recurrently depressed patients in remission who had been using mADM for 6 months or longer (n=68), were randomly allocated to either MBCT+mADM (n=33) or mADM alone (n=35). Primary outcome was depressive relapse/recurrence within 15 months. Key secondary outcomes were time to relapse/recurrence and depression severity. Analyses were based on intention-to-treat. There were no significant differences between the groups on any of the outcome measures. The current study included patients who had recovered from depression with mADM and who preferred the certainty of continuing medication to the possibility of participating in MBCT. Lower expectations of mindfulness in the current trial, compared with the parallel trial, may have caused selection bias. In addition, recruitment was hampered by the increasing availability of MBCT in the Netherlands, and even about a quarter of participants included in the trial who were allocated to the control group chose to get MBCT elsewhere. For this selection of recurrently depressed patients in remission and using mADM for 6 months or longer, MBCT did not further reduce their risk for relapse/recurrence or their (residual) depressive symptoms.

- "In addition to RTW, sustained RTW or return to work in good health (MDD in remission) may be relevant outcomes both from a health and an economic perspective. This holds in particular for MDD, because of its long-term course with different levels of residual or subclinical symptoms, a high rate of recurrence (ten Doesschate et al., 2010; Hardeveld et al., 2010) and sickness absence Endo et al. (2012). However, studies focusing on these outcomes are scarce (Hees et al., 2013, 2012; Virtanen et al., 2011; Arends et al., 2014). "
ABSTRACT: This study aims to (i) assess work functioning in employees returning to work with a major depression in remission, (ii) study the predictors of impaired work functioning. Participants diagnosed with major depressive disorder (MDD), on long term sick leave (mean 27 weeks) and treated in a specialized mental healthcare setting, were selected from an intervention study sample. They were eligible for this study if they were remitted from their depression and had returned to work for at least 50% of their contract hours at 18 month follow-up. Work functioning was assessed with the Work Limitations Questionnaire (WLQ) and the Need For Recovery scale (NFR). Potential predictors of impaired work functioning were demographic characteristics (assessed at baseline), health characteristics (assessed at baseline, six and twelve month follow-up), and personality- and work characteristics (assessed at 18 month follow-up). After their return to work with MDD in remission, employees were on average still impaired in their work functioning. Personality characteristics were the strongest predictor of this impaired work functioning, followed by health and work characteristics. In the final prediction model, only a passive reaction coping style remained as predictor. We used self-report data with respect to work functioning and work characteristics and not an assessment by a supervisor. Personality trait, coping style, and ability to manage the work environment should be addressed in mental health and return-to-work interventions. Subsequent improved work functioning may be beneficial for mental health and may reduce societal costs. Copyright © 2015.

- "A meta-analysis of studies treating MDD with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), the most commonly prescribed antidepressant , reported a mean response rate of only 50.1% (Walsh et al., 2002). Over 60% of remitted MDD patients experience a recurrence of symptoms after 5 years and 85% after 15 years when treated in specialized mental health settings (Hardeveld, Spijker, De Graaf, Nolen, & Beekman, 2010). Consequently, there remains a need for treatments for MDD that will not only improve remission rates, but also decrease recurrence. "
Article: A randomized controlled trial of cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia: An effective treatment for comorbid insomnia and depression[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Insomnia and depression are highly comorbid conditions that show a complex, bidirectional relationship. This study examined whether cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) delivered by a therapist compared with self-help CBT-I (written materials only) reduces insomnia and depression severity in individuals with comorbid insomnia and depression. A total of 41 participants (18-64 years; 25 females) with comorbid depression and insomnia, treated with antidepressants for at least 6 weeks, were randomized to receive 4 sessions of either CBT-I or self-help CBT-I over 8 weeks. Insomnia (Insomnia Severity Index [ISI]) and depression (Beck Depression Inventory-II [BDI-II]) were assessed at baseline, following each session, and at 3-month follow-up. Secondary outcomes were sleep quality and duration (actigraphy and diaries), anxiety, fatigue, and daytime sleepiness. Compared with self-help CBT-I, BDI-II scores in the CBT-I group dropped by 11.93 (95% confidence interval [CI] [6.60, 17.27], p < .001) more points, and ISI scores dropped by 6.59 (95% CI [3.04, 10.15], p = .001) more points across treatment. At 3-month follow-up, 61.1% of CBT-I participants were in clinical remission from their insomnia and depression, compared with 5.6% of the self-help group. CBT-I administered by a therapist produced significant reductions in both insomnia and depression severity posttreatment and at follow-up, compared with a control condition in which participants received only written CBT-I material. Targeting insomnia through CBT-I is efficacious for treating comorbid insomnia and depression, and should be considered an important adjunct therapy for patients with depression whose symptoms have not remitted through antidepressant treatment.

A method is proposed for identifying the critical cluster of machines, i.e. the machines responsible for loss of synchronism in a power system following a large disturbance. It is based on the conjecture that the loss of synchronism condition can be recognised by, first, considering `near-critically cleared trajectories' of the machines and, secondly, observing how they are organised near the system's unstable equilibrium point. Examples are given using the IEEE test system to illustrate the essential features: reliability in correctly identifying the critical clusters; robustness with respect to its capacity to do so under very stringent conditions; and effectiveness concerning its ability to identify automatically critical clusters of any size, i.e. irrespective of the number of machines that they contain

MSI GeForce GTX 460 1GB Cyclone Video Card
Our first GTX 460 review was of the MSI Cyclone 768MB. Straight away it showed us what the GTX 460 was going to be about; good power at an even better price. Once we had a look at that we then checked out some 1GB models. Unlike most cards, the 1GB model wasn't just more memory, but it increased the memory bus width while adding some more ROPs at the same time.
The problem we had was that the GIGABYTE card we looked at wasn't overclocked as much as the 768MB Cyclone from MSI. The Galaxy and Palit cards we then looked at afterwards instead had clocks so much higher. Until today we didn't have a chance to really see what the difference between the 768MB version and the 1GB version was on a more even keel.
Today we've got the 1GB version of the Cyclone; it carries with it the same speeds as the 768MB model we looked at, yet carries with it more memory, the wider bus and the extra ROPs. Today that means we'll be able to see what the difference is between the two models and if it's really worth spending the extra dollars that are associated with the 1GB model.

Red Beard (1965)
Critic Consensus: No consensus yet.
Red Beard Videos & Photos
Movie Info
Originally released in Japan as Akahige, Red Beard is, according to one chronicler of director Akira Kurosawa, "about humanity's struggle to modernize." Toshiro Mifune plays the head of a 19th-century Japanese public health clinic. Ambitious young medico Yuzo Kayama takes a job at the clinic, full of so-called progressive notions. While it's true that the clinic could use a more up-to-date approach, it's equally true that Kayama could benefit immensely from the example set by old "Red Beard" Kurosawa. The film's centerpiece is the sequence involving Kayama and a 12-year-old victim of sexual abuse. Brilliantly filling every second of its 185-minute running time, Red Beard was based on Akahige Shinryo Tan, a novel by Shugoro Yamamoto. … More

Critic Reviews for Red Beard
All Critics (16) | Top Critics (4) | Fresh (10) | Rotten (3) | DVD (21)
Kurosawa somehow manages to imbue every moment of this three-hour-plus movie with the transcendent vitality and intelligence of a great Victorian novel.
Akira Kurosawa's Red Beard is assembled with the complexity and depth of a good l9th-century novel, and it is a pleasure, in a time of stylishly fragmented films, to watch a director taking the time to fully develop his characters.
A banal, discursive and overlong Dr. Kildare-like soap opera, that's no better than General Hospital.
Something for everyone. A masterpiece, and with Kurosawa that's really saying something.
Audience Reviews for Red Beard
Japanese movie, Japanese actors, Japanese sets and locations, so why does this film feel as if were shot on the Warner Brothers backlot? Yet it does AND like they did it, say, in the late 40's or early 50's. An arrogant young doctor learns humility thanks to charismatic elder sawbones. There's a ton of subplots too, and minor characters, but all in all still engaging.
Super Reviewer
Akira Kurosawa's three-hour masterpiece follows young doctor Noboru Yasumoto as he is sent to work at a public health facility. He had been trained overseas and was expecting to be the private doctor of the shogun, and so he's unpleasantly surprised when he finds out what his new assignment is. The doctor who he's replacing seems especially cynical: "These people would be better off dead" he says of the empoverished patients. Not only is he cynical when it comes to the patients, he's also cynical of the hospital's overseer, "Red Beard" (Toshiro Mifune). The older doctor paints horror stories for the new young doctor of their boss with the red beard, and Yasumoto tries to get thrown out of his position by rebelling against the hardened Red Beard. Much like the film, Captains Courageous, Yasumoto soon learns his boss isn't really a monster, but a great and kind (if gruff) man, as he's shown how to truly help his fellow man. Red Beard unfolds like a great novel, it takes it's time in giving nuance and depth to the stories of the patients the doctors help. I was wondering how they'd work in a fight scene for Toshiro Mifune, what with him being a respectable doctor and all, but they somehow managed it. Mifune is undoubtedly one of the greatest actors of all time (note, I didnt' quantify it by saing "greatest Japanese actor", his appeal extends beyond national boundaries), and yet here he's probably playing one of his lesser roles (despite being the title character). It's a terrific ensemble cast. Kurosawa directs with his usual flair, but here there are some unique touches that really jump out at the viewer. Most noteably the strange lighting effect used in the scene with the little girl who's rescued from the brothel, as she's recouperating in bed. The way only her eyes are lit creates an eerie, creepy effect. Red Beard is a touching, poignant, comedy, drama, tear-jerker that runs the gamut of emotions. One of the best films ever.
Super Reviewer
"The pain and loneliness of death frighten me. But Dr. Niide looks at it differently. He looks into their hearts as well as their bodies."
Kurosawa does such a magnificent job of infusing the virtues of decency and humanity into the story that they almost become concrete, tangible characters. The fact that Red Beard is rarely, if ever, listed as one of Akira's cinematic milestones has me a little perplexed. Highly underrated.

Is HP Planning A Green Marketing Push?
In a recent AdAge interview, Michael Mendenhall, the new senior VP-CMO at HP, said that McGarryBowen will be handling a new, unspecified corporate assignment – not for any of HP's three divisions.. AdAge speculates that the agency could be involved in a sustainability effort.
Here's the publication's reasoning: At a March 11 conference Mendenhall discussed a number of trends in marketing, one of which was sustainability, and said HP has developed a device that could reduce the amount of energy used by computers in data centers, and that it is thinking about a push to encourage consumers to turn off their computers at night.
It's a hot topic. U.S. businesses are wasting $1.72 billion a year on PCs that are not shut down at night, according to a recent report.
Consumers think that many forms of green technology (renewable, energy efficient or recycled materials) are cost prohibitive, difficult to understand and maintain, and aesthetically unappealing, according to a recent report.
Still, another report found that 12 percent of U.S. adults – some 25 million Americans – are willing to pay extra for consumer electronics that use less energy or come from a company that is environmentally friendly.
That might be impetus enough for HP to go after green consumers. Another is that, according to the same report, of major computer manufacturers, HP's customers are the least green.

New Zealand's retailers suffered a big setback in June after seeing some encouraging signs earlier in the year.
Monthly electronic card transactions figures released by Statistics New Zealand today show that core retail spending (excluding automotive industries and fuel) went backwards by 1.2 percent last month, following rises in the previous three months - including a 1.1 percent increase in May.
The fall was the biggest monthly drop in the core retail sales figures since October 2007. SNZ said that the durables industry, including furniture, hardware and appliance retailing, was the main contributor.
And while the "trend" for total and core retail sales was still pointing upward, this was now at a slower rate than had been the case in both March and April.
In June total electronic card transactions were down 0.4 percent, while all retail industries (including fuel and automotive) were down 1 percent. The fall in the all-retail figures was the first monthly decline since January.
Consumers are continuing to turn off their credit cards in favour of using debit cards - accessing their own rather than borrowed money. Credit cards accounted for just 45.2 percent of transactions in the year to June, which was the ninth consecutive month to show a decrease.

Formononetin (FMNT) is an isoflavone found in many herbs including Trifolium pratense L., Spatholobus suberectus Dunn., and Astragalus mongholicus Bunge. The purpose of this study is to investigate pharmacological properties of FMNT on neurotoxicity induced by N-methyl-D-asparate (NMDA) in primary-cultured cortical neurons. The cell viability was significantly decreased after exposure to NMDA (200 μM) for 40 min. Pretreatment of FMNT (10 μM) for 12 h significantly attenuated the cell loss induced by NMDA exposure. Flow cytometry analysis revealed that treatment of FMNT attenuated the number of apoptotic cells, especially the early phase apoptotic cells, induced by NMDA exposure. Western blot analysis showed that FMNT regulated the expression of apoptosis-related proteins by increasing the levels of Bcl-2 and pro-caspase-3 and decreasing the levels of Bax and caspase-3. These findings demonstrate that FMNT is capable of protecting neurons from NMDA-evoked excitotoxic injury and has a potential perspective to the clinical treatment for neurodegenerative disorders in central nervous system.

Blog Messages Are Magical
Do you believe in magic?
No, I'm not talking about the magician's sleight of hand tricks, ancient castles, or even some magical potion as portrayed in the movies. Instead, we want to discuss the power of real magic. You won't find this type of magic in an old wand or some ancient cauldron. Instead, it's easily recognized as the mail box, your telephone, or your computer e-mail system.
Reach out to others and discover the true meaning of magic.
The magic isn't in the technology used for the communications, it's the message that is being delivered. For example, when you send an e-mail to a friend, or send them a card or letter, you brighten their day. Your seemingly simple act of friendship possessed a power beyond some fairy tale sorcery. You changed someone's life.
If you are needing help with a difficult problem, and you call or e-mail someone requesting assistance, you are putting magic to work. By not making contact with anyone, nothing happens. By sending out a message, entire worlds can change. Your request for help will probably be answered with kindness, as most people want to be helpful to others. In this increasingly complex world, the most basic human interaction becomes even more important.
That's real magic at work.
As bloggers, we already understand the power of the written word for sharing our thoughts and ideas with others. For many people, the simple act of writing blog posts is a world changing act. Even a personal diary blog, describing the events of the day, has the power to help the writer understand the day to day events of life. Sharing and discussing experiences helps the blogger to feel that others can identify with their lives. Instead of feeling alone and isolated, the blogger can find a powerful and empathetic support group, only an e-mail or a call away.
For business and professional bloggers, their individual worlds can change beyond recognition. Business blogs help build relationships with potential and current customers and clients. While the blog requires work, and the relationships must be nurtured, many lives can be changed for the better. As bloggers get to know one another, friendships and business ideas are shared, helping one another to achieve greater success. Many bloggers form partnerships and companies. Now that's changing a world for the better. It's powerful magic in action for the betterment of everyone.
Reaching out to others, and sharing thoughts, experiences, and ideas is true magic. It doesn't require special esoteric training, or years poring over ancient texts. All it requires is basic human interaction. Blogs are conversation starters, used in place of magical spells, and much more effective. As people interact back and forth, some powerful changes take place during the communications. Friendships and relationships are built from the trust created through talking to each other.
The real magic in the world is created by helping one another. Yes, interpersonal magic can change the world in many wonderful and often unexpected ways.

It's the magic of sharing with others.
There is no hocus pocus in that!
