One out of 50 people who live next to coal ash ponds in South Carolina and elsewhere could get cancer from drinking water contaminated with arsenic, a coal ash pollutant, according to federal research that two environmental groups said the Bush administration kept under wraps for years.
"We now have the full picture about coal dump sites across America, and it's not pretty," said Eric Schaeffer, director of Environmental Integrity Project, adding that the EPA has "known about these (health) hazards for a long time."
His group and Earthjustice obtained a 2002 report by the Environmental Protection Agency that the Bush administration had refused to release, despite numerous requests under the Freedom of Information Act.
The study examined potential health risks of more than 200 coal ash waste dumps across the country, including a dozen in South Carolina. The groups made the information public Thursday.
Among other things, the data show that coal ash ponds have a statistical chance of polluting waterways with boron at concentrations up to 2,000 times higher than what the EPA says is safe for wildlife.
Much of the data was used to produce a report in 2007 about the health risks of coal ash impoundments, but environmental watchdog groups said the release of the 2002 data shows that EPA officials knew about the dangers of coal waste for years before informing the public.
Ben Moore of the Coastal Conservation League said the findings also add new fuel to the debate over Santee Cooper's plan to build a new coal-fired power plant near Florence, which could have two ash dumps.
A Post and Courier Watchdog report last fall documented how ash ponds and landfills in South Carolina have contaminated groundwater with arsenic, selenium and other toxic chemicals. Utilities and industries that operate these dumps say they've taken pains to monitor the contamination and improve the structural integrity of these impoundments.
Last December, the ash issue made national headlines when an impoundment next to a coal plant in Tennessee failed, spilling a billion gallons of ash-tainted muck. Schaeffer said the spill was an "Exxon Valdez moment" for the coal industry that has led to new calls to regulate coal ash. Right now, the EPA considers coal ash a non-hazardous waste. In March, the EPA said it would take a new look at the safety of ash ponds and landfills and develop new regulations by year's end.

Christopher Wheeldon was just 23 when the Colorado Ballet debuted his two-act adaptation of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" in 1997.
But this youthful yet still accomplished work, which the company has justifiably revived for a second time, contains many of the seeds that have allowed him to blossom into one of the most in-demand choreographers in the world.
The appealing ballet effervesces with mirth, and it clearly and economically conveys the essentials of Shakespeare's famed comedic fantasy, with its cleverly interwoven mix of fairies, magical spells and crisscrossed lovers.
The production incorporates 29 well-rehearsed children (a total of 44 are spread across two casts), and Wheeldon assures that they are not just stage adornments by effectively and often humorously integrating them into the action.
Especially impressive is 10- year-old Rachel Lie of Centennial, who portrays the Changeling with the poise of someone much older.
If the choreography in this ballet is not as innovative and intricately constructed as Wheeldon's current works might be, it displays a youthful gusto that ideally suits this story.
Ingredients of Wheeldon's mature style can best be seen in the striking duet that climaxes Act 2, with Oberon (Igor Vassine) and Titania (Maria Mosina), king and queen of the fairies.
These include a series of sleek, technically complex lift combinations and certain motifs, such as Mosina's unorthodox leg pivots as she slides in front of Vassine at one point, that highlight Wheeldon's desire to update and push the form forward.
As usual, Mosina and Vassine are superb. They are completely at ease with this challenging choreography, displaying a sensual elegance and the kind of connection and trust that comes with being longtime partners.
But they are hardly the only standouts. This ballet provides an abundance of other significant roles, and most of the cast members in Sunday afternoon's performance made the most of them.
Koichi Kubo shows himself to be suitably puckish as Puck, bringing high energy and his usual acrobatic abandon to the role, as he flies through the air and scampers across the forest sowing mischief.
Gregory Gonzales is wonderful as Bottom the Weaver, the simpleton who is turned into a donkey. With communicative gestures and body language, he playfully captures the animal's delight in being unexpectedly pursued by the fairy queen.
The dancers portraying the four lovers are all strong, with Sayaka Karasugi generating lots of laughs as Helena, who is hysterically obsessed with Demetrius (Shunsuke Amma). Caitlin Valentine, dancing with confidence and brio, and Christopher Ellis are nicely matched as Hermia and Lysander.
Some of the work's best ensemble dancing comes in Act 1 with the two Demi Fairies — Emily Bromberg and Shelby Dyer — and the four Male Fairies. Seen in this section and elsewhere is Dana Benton, who lights up the role of Peaseblossom, the lead fairy.
Significantly enhancing this revival is the live musical accompaniment — something that was not part of either of the two previous productions.
Soprano soloists Leslie Remmert Soich and MeeAe Cecilia Nam join an ensemble from the Colorado Children's Chorale and a 45-piece pit orchestra in performing Felix Mendelssohn's evocative score.
Live accompaniment provides for a more responsive, organic relationship between the music and dancers, and the Colorado Ballet deserves kudos for making it possible.
At at time when the economic news seems to get worse by the day, "A Midsummer Night's Dream" provides ideal escapist entertainment.

Chemosis of the conjunctiva is a type of eye inflammation. The condition occurs when the lining of the eyelids swells. This transparent lining, called the conjunctiva, also covers the surface of the eye. The swelling of the conjunctiva is a sign that your eye has become irritated. The condition is more often simply referred to as "chemosis."
This condition is most often related to allergies, but may be caused by a viral or bacterial infection. However, chemosis is not contagious, meaning that you cannot catch it from another person.
The primary cause of chemosis is irritation. The ways in which your eye becomes irritated may vary. Allergies play a role in eye irritation and chemosis. Seasonal allergies or allergic reactions to pets are the main culprits. Animal dander and pollen can make your eyes water, appear red, and ooze a yellow-colored discharge. This condition is called allergic conjunctivitis. You can develop both conjunctivitis and chemosis as a result of allergies.
Chemosis of the conjunctiva can also be associated with angioedema, a form of allergic reaction in which your skin swells. Unlike hives—a swelling on the surface of your skin—angioedema swelling occurs underneath your skin.
Eye infections, such as viral or bacterial conjunctivitis, can also lead to chemosis in some people. You can also have chemosis after eye surgery, or as a result of hyperthyroidism. Hyperthyroidism is a condition in which your thyroid gland overproduces hormones. According to Columbia University's Edward S Harkness Eye Institute, some people with overactive thyroids experience eye-related symptoms, including chemosis (Columbia University).
Rubbing your eyes too much or too often can also cause chemosis.
Chemosis occurs because the membrane lining your eyes and eyelids accumulates fluid. Symptoms may include:
You might not be able to close your eyes completely during a bout of chemosis. This is due to the swelling of the eyelids.
Some people do not have any symptoms of chemosis other than inflammation.
Call your doctor if you have eye pain or show signs of a severe allergic reaction. Symptoms of a severe allergic reaction include changes in breathing or heart rate, wheezing, and swelling of the lips or tongue.
This condition can most often be diagnosed with a physical examination of the affected eye(s). Your doctor may also ask questions about the length and severity of your symptoms. Be sure to give your doctor detailed information about your symptoms, as well as any allergies you may have, as this will help better guide treatment.
The key to treating chemosis is reducing the inflammation. Managing the swelling can reduce discomfort and minimize any negative impact on your vision. Your doctor may prescribe medicated eye drops to lubricate your membranes. Depending on the severity of your condition, you may be directed to use an over-the-counter lubricant instead. Cool compresses placed over the eyes may also be recommended to ease discomfort and inflammation.
Your doctor may also instruct you to stop wearing contact lenses during treatment to avoid further irritation.
If chemosis is caused by allergies, antihistamines may be recommended. These medications reduce your body's reaction to allergens. An allergen is a substance that your body sees as potentially harmful. When your body encounters an allergen, such as dust or pet dander, it produces histamines to help fight off the perceived intruder. Antihistamines can help suppress this immune response and reduce symptoms like irritation and swelling. Try to stay away from known allergens, such as pollen, pet dander, and smoke.
An over-the-counter oral antihistamine, such as Claritin (Loratadine), is usually strong enough to treat chemosis inflammation due to allergies. Let your doctor know if these medications are not effective in eliminating your symptoms. You may need a prescription for stronger medications.
Bacterial conjunctivitis is treated with antibiotic ointments or eye drops. If you show signs of a bacterial infection, take the full course of medication to prevent the infection from recurring. Viral conjunctivitis is another potential cause of chemosis; however, antibiotics do not effectively treat viral infections. Cold compresses and lubricating eye drops are often the best form of treatment for this type of infection.
Your outlook depends on the cause and severity of chemosis – if the underlying cause is treated, you can expect to make a full recovery.
In some cases, such as after eye surgery, chemosis may not be preventable. However, if chemosis is caused by allergies, taking steps to avoid allergens and manage symptoms can reduce risk for recurring bouts of chemosis. Practice good hand washing techniques to prevent the spread of bacteria, and avoid excessively touching or rubbing your eyes, especially with unclean hands.

Felonious assault charge follows shooting
A 51-year-old Youngstown man is charged with felonious assault following an incident with his nephew.
Police arrested Keith Colvin of West Boardman Street after he told police he fired a pistol three times in the direction of his 27-year-old nephew, Curtis Brooks, Friday night.
Brooks burst though Colvin's garage door and began choking Colvin against a wall, according to a police report.
Colvin then fired three times in Brooks' direction.
Brooks fled on foot before his girlfriend took him to Northside Medical Center.
Brooks was last reported to be in critical but stable condition.
Another shooter who needs some target practice.
Typical Y-town justice. Why do you think the thugs are over running your town. Its because the law is on their side.
"Brooks burst though Colvin's garage door and began choking Colvin against a wall, according to a police report."
So what is the 51 year old man suppose to do, let the little sorry a@3 punk choke him to death? Get real, this POS should be in jail. To bad it was'nt a direct hit.
This sure sounds FISHY, must be more to the story, he should get a badge of honor, a pillar of the community, a new role model, anything but arrested for protecting himself and his property....
Not adding up....
Excellent display of no family moral values. A Hoodrat choking your uncle! Where is Stan on this issue? His comments are missed.
Ok here's my problem with this story, Where exactly is his home on W Boardaman St? Maybe I'm wrong but I don't think there are any residences on that street let alone one with a garge.
Unless he lives at the Yng police station or WFMJ

Monday June 30, 2008
LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) -- Floyd Landis lost his final chance
to retain his 2006 Tour de France title today, when The Court of
Arbitration for Sport upheld his doping ban. A three-person CAS
panel agreed with a previous panel's decision that his positive
doping test during the Tour two years ago was, indeed, valid.
It was the last step of the American cyclist's
multimillion-dollar challenge that attempted to poke holes in the
anti-doping establishment. Landis also has been ordered to pay $100,000 toward the legal fees of the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency.
The decision comes just six days before the start of the 2008
Tour. Landis won the 2006 edition after a stunning comeback in
Stage 17. But the rally turned out to be fueled by synthetic
testosterone. Landis' two-year ban from cycling is due to end on January 30th of next year.

Full Daedric Armor in Pepakura by Kuraudo3Watch
©2012-2016 Kuraudo3
Well it's about time! I was unfolding the armor as I went so now that I've almost got everything built I thought I'd post a visual representation of a lot of different files that I've unfolded on my way to making a full set of Daedric armor.

on the curass there is a pyramide like cone going down in the neck. where is it for? do i nee to print it along?
Thank you very much for this
can you send me the sword pls the download link does not work for me
Is there any way to check the scale to see whether or not it fits me? Thanks!
Well I'm about 5'8", so if you're close to that it should be alright. The best thing to do is build a simple piece and see what you think.
Is this the male set or female set?
do you have the first download as a pdo file instead of rar? pepakura doesnt like the rar file for some reason
The .rar is a zip file that you need to unpack to get the delicious .pdo files inside.
which one is the best? the cuirass with skirt or without skirt?
I think most people want the file with the skirt so they can use it for reference when they make a skirt out of leather or something (that's what I was going to do). But when it comes to building a solid chest piece I would suggest using the file that doesn't have a skirt.
thanks for the advice, because I still confuse to decide making the skirt with leather or solid foam..... XD
one question. with wich Programm can i open this file? (sorry for my very bad english)
o.0 so wonderfull!!!! can u send me all?
Brother, excelent job. I was thinking about making a The Hound helmet (from Game of Thrones) and I was thinking if you know about a helmet I could use a starting point?
Blessings my friend. Valar morghulis.
Blessings my friend. Valar morghulis.
Sorry, but I don't. I feel like this comment should be longer so it looks like I put more thought and effort into it. Now we're getting somewhere. I wish you luck on your project though!
i wish you make a piece by piece template i want to make a metal one.
So awesome. Have you ever thought about doing the nightingale armor?
No, mostly because the nightingale doesn't have a lot of hard plates in it. It's mostly cloth and leather so I figured anyone wanting to make a nightingale cosplay would find other ways to do it.
Is there any way to get these in PDF form? I am on a mac and cannot use the proper software... (yeah, its sucks)
I'm really sorry, but even with the help of others I've never been able to get the PDF version to work like it should. I don't know how computer-y you are, but it should be possible to dual boot windows on your machine and install pepakura on that side. I know it's a lot of work and quite a stretch, but it is at least one option.
Ok, thats cool.
I am using VirtualBox so hopefully I can get it work right and get it.
Thanks for your time!
I am using VirtualBox so hopefully I can get it work right and get it.
Thanks for your time!
The templates are very good and this isnt a huge problem but where are the tabs?
I went back and added tabs to most of the files, but I might have missed a few. For the ones that don't have them by default you can turn them on in the options with pepakura designer.
Heeya! It's my very first time ever working with Pepakura, and I have a quick question! How can you tell if this will fit you? Before you print it out and such? Because, I wanted to make this but I have no clue what size this is going to come out as(once it's built), etc. Thanks!
Honestly there's no way of knowing for sure. There's a tool in Pepakura Designer that tells you the distance between vertices, but even that just makes for educated guess work. I had to build some mock ups before I found the scale I needed. All of my daedric armor files are sized to fit me and I'm about 5'9".
I've built the helmet and the cuirass but I can't work out how to put the cuirass on. I'm thinking cut it down the sides and put some belt buckles on it or something but didn't know if there's a better way?
Honestly it's a problem that I never completely solved either. I was planning on cutting it down the sides and riveting on some leather straps to be buckled together. That's the best I could ever come up with.
Where's the lioncloth and gloves? Also, I have no idea what the little blockade things in some of the armor is, so I'm just cutting them out when I make them..is this a bad idea?
There are a lot of extra pieces that I added for support that are meant to be cut out. And I have a file for the loincloth but it isn't included in the download. I never made the gloves because a. they were difficult and b. I haven't gotten that far in the build process yet.
Just saw how confusing that was...by cutting them out, I meant "not including"
Is it wearable?
Can you please help me ! Im only 4'11 and cant resize it im not sure why is there some way you can do the templates for me? I would really appreciate
I'd love to help, but rescaling the entire set would take a lot of time that I just don't have right now. Sorry.
no numbers on the pieces help please..
Could you the file to email@example.com please i have been looking everywhere to find a way to make daedric so please send me the templates
And 1 more thing how many of the daedric artifacts do you plan to make if you have plans to.
Hey thanks for the help i also would like to now what is the easiest way to get the armor on without damaging it
There's a download link in the description, thanks.
Oh and im 4"5 could you please resize for me because i do not know how
For some strange reason, the pep file with the helmet that I have already finished (ugh) has the horns reversed. The large one is on the other side that it should be on. I don't think anyone will notice once my full suit is built though. I plan to randomly go to school in it one day. I will get so many weird faces. Imagine. You are sitting down by the lockers, then this daedric armored guy passes you, minding his own business. Meh, that's japan for you.
Haha those exact reactions are part of the reason why I started building this set in the first place. And sorry about the horn issue. I've noticed that when other people unfold the files they forget to mirror them back to how they're supposed to be. Not a problem when you're dealing with a symmetrical suit, but the daedric has a few differences.
Hii,, I was wondering if there was any possible way this could be made into a 23" model ,, if you could let me know how I could scale the model down (i'm not sure how i could do that) i would be so greatful, thanks so much also do you think the 23" size would do the model justice, i want it big enough to look as spectacular as it is but yet I cant afford to make it big life size

This is strange as I don't see other people having this problem, here's what happened to me. I was using Digg Digg for a couple of years, recently stop working for me Firefox after the upgrade to version 25. Instead I just get a blank rectangular box with the word "false" underneath it.
I didn't get any help from support so a couple of days ago I switched to Digg Digg Alternative and, unfortunately, that too does not work in Firefox or Chrome. Again, an empty white box although the word false does not appear on this occasion.
Both these plug-ins work fine on Internet Explorer 10. Any ideas anyone? My website is bobinoz.com.

Sorry to be a pest all.
I have a question regarding rear derailleurs. I see some people going for mtn bike sets while others use road sets.
It would seem to me running an XT rear would be better than an Ultegra set up.
Is there a reason NOT to go with the mountain rear derailleur?
An XT long cage would seem to be a good set up for a 12-25, with a 44/34 up frant no?

Stop the Killing Machine
Anyone who pays attention to the death penalty can feel it. A sea change is under way. Support for the death penalty has fallen to its lowest point in years. It now stands at 63 percent, down from 77 percent five years ago, according to the latest available poll. However, that drops to 46 percent when life in prison is offered as an option. Last September, a bipartisan study showed that 64 percent would favor a moratorium on further executions until "issues of fairness can be resolved."
But the numbers tell only so much. The cultural shift on the death penalty is going on in kitchens and neighborhoods and factories and offices and press rooms across the country, where people are talking about it as they have not since 1976, the year the Supreme Court lifted its ban on executions. Many are looking at capital punishment with newfound horror and sudden doubts.
Among the doubters, some surprises:
Pat Robertson, the rightwing Christian conservative and former Presidential candidate, has called for a federal moratorium on the death penalty. Robertson's reason? He says that capital punishment is discriminatory, unfairly affecting minorities and those who are too poor to pay for good lawyers.
George Will, the conservative columnist for Newsweek and The Washington Post, warns that "careless or corrupt administration of capital punishment" appears to be "intolerably common."
Even President George W. Bush seems to have had second--or first--thoughts on the subject. On June 11, Bush said, "We should never execute anybody who is mentally retarded." As numerous papers reported, the statement led to some confusion about what Bush really believed. As governor of Texas, he opposed bills that would have stopped executions of mentally retarded people, and at least a few of the 152 people whose deaths he oversaw had very low IQs.
While the American public examines its conscience, the U.S. capital punishment system is an enormous embarrassment overseas.
Until recently, U.S. executions got much more attention abroad than they did here. "An average person in France," reported The New York Times, "could not help but be familiar with the case of Betty Lou Beets," who was executed in Texas in February of last year for killing her fifth husband. "Her story, with particular attention to her assertion that she was abused by her father and husbands, has been on the front page of many newspapers."
The same was true, said the Times, of Odell Barnes. French editorialists had penned columns questioning whether Barnes was innocent, and the mayor of Paris even traveled to Texas to meet him. Barnes was executed in March of last year.
In the past few months, the moral isolation of the United States has grown more glaring almost by the day. In April, the United Nations Human Rights Commission called for a global moratorium "with a view to completely abolishing the death penalty." The proposal was put forward by the European Union. The vote was 27 to 18, with the United States, along with Japan, China, Indonesia, and Saudi Arabia, voting against.
Then, in late June, the Council of Europe, the continent's forty-three-nation human rights group, voted to remove Japan and the United States as observers unless they call a moratorium on executions "without delay" and begin a formal repeal of the death penalty.
"The debate at the Council of Europe is further evidence that the credibility of the U.S. on human rights issues has reached a new low point," said Ajamu Baraka, acting director of Amnesty International USA's Program to Abolish the Death Penalty. "The U.S.'s reputation continues to be tarnished by its defiant and puzzling commitment to a punishment that has no deterrent effect and that the majority of the world's nations has abandoned as barbaric and outdated."
A few days later, the World Court ruled that the United States had violated the Vienna Convention in a death penalty case involving Karl and Walter LaGrand, both German nationals who were executed in 1999. …

Skip to comments.Dave Says: Here's the Reason I'm on the Planet
Posted on 03/13/2012 4:42:53 PM PDT by Altariel
Dear Dave,
I was wondering why you recommend doing a fresh budget every month. Once youve figured out your expenses and income, wont the same budget work month to month?
Dear Kara,
I understand what youre saying, but if you look closely at every month, youll see pretty quickly that theyre not all created equal in terms of expenses. On top of that, if you work a commission-based job, your monthly income will fluctuate throughout the year.
Now, there are some things that will remain pretty standard. A few things like your rent or mortgage payment will probably be the same month to month. But what about things like utilities and food? Chances are your electric or gas bills will be higher during certain months as you heat and cool your home depending on the weather. What about holidays and special occasions? Its likely youll end up spending more on food, gifts and related items around Thanksgiving and Christmas or other months when family and friends have birthdays and other events.
These are just a few of the reasons its a good idea to customize your budget every month. A good, accurate monthly budget should always reflect your reality, Kara. Not only will this give you a more realistic idea of where your money is going, but the knowledge also helps you control your money instead of it controlling you!
Dear Dave,
One of my husbands credit card bills was turned over to a collection agency. Theyve offered three different payment options. If we accept one of the options, does this mean the original creditor accepts the agreement as well?
Dear Cheryl,
In a situation like this, the collection agency either owns the debt outright or theyre directly representing the credit card company. This is pretty much standard operating procedure when someone has defaulted on a loan.
Id go ahead with the deal theyve offered that makes the most sense for you guys. Youll have a ding on your credit report, showing settlement on a defaulted credit card, but its really no big deal since youve already got a mark against you for having it turned over to collections.
Want another piece of advice? Never use credit cards again!
Dear Dave,
How do you know when youve found your true calling when it comes to your job or your career?
Dear Matt,
Ive met a few people whove had a spiritual experience in this area. Something has happened, almost like they were struck by lightning, and they knew what they were supposed to do with their lives. This isnt the normal way people come to realization about their futures, but it does happen from time to time.
Usually, I believe this kind of revelation starts out as a simple idea that gradually grows into a job and then into a career. Then, it evolves over time into a calling. Thats how I stepped into what Im doing today. I cant honestly tell you that when I started on radio, or began writing and teaching, that I knew it was Gods purpose for my life. But I felt the weight and the drawing of it, almost like a magnetic pull.
Ive been doing it for 20 years, so it definitely evolved over time into what it is today. Still, Im positive its the reason Im on this planet!

|A Medicine for Melancholy: The Fifth-Annual Year-End Album
|Music - Feature Stories
|Written by Jeff Ignatius
|Thursday, 16 December 2010 10:32
For the fifth consecutive year, I present my year-end album – a collection of personal favorite tracks from 2010.
The rules are simple: Each artist is limited to one song, and performers included in the previous four editions of this project are disqualified. (Notable exclusions because of this rule are Shannon Wright, Grinderman, and the Shondes.)
This year's album is longer than past efforts, but it'll still fit on a CD. (Previous editions of this project: 2006, 2007, 2008, and 2009.)
As much as there can be a theme with a disparate collection, my 2010 album begins with and returns to loss. But I don't think it's a downer. Instead, I hope it's a demonstration of music as therapy or a salve, even when (or especially when) it comes from pain – a medicine for melancholy.
Black Francis, "Bad News." I can't fathom how the Pixies frontman's songs work with the 1920 silent film The Golem: How He Came Into the World (which I haven't seen), but this straightforward, undeniably contemporary rock track is an effective summation of the gifts of the singer/songwriter/guitarist. Drawn from his soundtrack to that 90-year-old horror movie, "Bad News" out of context operates as a ne'er-do-well's break-up song. The narrator begins with a sad acknowledgment ("Bad news / That's all I bring to you") but follows it with a mystical explanation, as if he's cursed rather than responsible for his failings: "Something in the stars / Says that we are through." On a foundation of synthesized strings but built with the standard guitar/bass/drums materials, the song's real draw is Francis' voice, full of feeling but shaded – a dawning self-awareness held at bay by anger and disbelief. (Available at BlackFrancis.net; listen here.)
Klaxons, "The Same Space." Over two albums, the British band Klaxons has produced no fewer than 10 really good songs, all with the same basic aesthetic: energetic, poppy, propulsive, slightly psychedelic, slightly punky dance rock. Looser, more fun, and more adventurous than Bloc Party (whose Silent Alarm was one of my favorite records of 2005), Klaxons make music that's catchy but built for discovery. On "The Same Space," I focus my ears on one element (the vocal harmonies, for instance), but they keep getting distracted by the other goings-on. There's something interesting in every nook and corner. (Listen here.)
Lissie, "Record Collector." Rock Island native Lissie Maurus (now based in California) broke out over the past two years with a pair of Daytrotter.com sessions and the EP Why You Runnin', but none of that prepared me for the accomplishment of her debut album, Catching a Tiger. Her expressive and charismatic voice was never in doubt, but the record represents a great leap forward in both songwriting and production. Among several standout tracks, "Record Collector" is my favorite, building on light clanging percussion and its clever play on the title: "But my blue eyes / Cannot see / That their real hue / Is probably green / I should keep records / of these things." It detours into a slowed central section recounting a conversation with God that gives way to a fevered plea, her voice and the instruments racing back to the chorus – where the words' initial regret has blossomed into confidence. (Listen and download here.)
The Chapin Sisters, "Boo Hoo." An ethereal, odd juxtaposition of the childish, often mockingly used title and a sophisticated, earnest vocal treatment of the phrase – simple in concept and lyrics yet complex in its enigma and effects. There's an unobtrusive, piano-based musical setting, but the voices of Abigail and Lily Chapin are mysteriously alluring in their phrasing and harmonies, creating a tension between immaturity and adult concerns. (Listen here.)
Arcade Fire, "Suburban War." The Suburbs is showing up on a lot of best-of-the-year lists, and I won't argue. This, with "Rococo," is my favorite track from the record, a lovely, poignant, and exact mix of conflicting emotions. Wistfulness dominates from the triple-guitar opening and the vocal tone, but there are hints of regret and anger and triumph, too. It sounds nearly too vague, like experience twice filtered – a memory of a memory of growing up – but it's verbally and sonically specific enough to work wonderfully. (Listen here.)
Joanna Newsom, "'81." Have One on Me, the triple album from the idiosyncratic singer/songwriter/harpist Joanna Newsom, might be her most accessible work, but I found it overwhelming. I prefer Newsom in small bits, and as naked as possible; her vocals and harp by themselves cast an intoxicating spell. So I'm partial to the brevity and simplicity of "'81," which is as pastoral as its opening metaphor: "I found a little plot of land in the Garden of Eden." Newsom keeps the oddness of her phrasing in check, but that voice and harp remain unmistakably exquisite, evocative, and ancient. (Listen here.)
The Black Keys, "Too Afraid to Love You." The elemental, primal blues duo uses harpsichord as this song's primary instrument, and the effect is revelatory. Dan Auerbach's voice wails into the darkness ("I can't afford to lose one more teardrop from my eye"), and the whole track echoes with authentic, festering regret and yearning. Bass and drums pump the blood, with undercurrents of guitar and noise, but the committed vocals and plaintive harpsichord could nearly stand on their own. (Listen here.)
Tift Merritt, "Mixtape." In contrast to the angst and absence that characterize this collection, this song is unfettered by anything beyond the feelings inherent in the construction of a love-born mix tape. There's some understandable nostalgia for the cassette – impermanent, finite, analog – that doubles as a longing for lost youth, and the soft, pleasant musical setting is decidedly retro, rooted in the 1970s. But Merritt presents the song in present tense, and there's an urgency in the strings and the build-up that gives it additional emotional pull. (Video here.)
The Dead Weather, "The Difference Between Us." I've had a sense of Alison Mosshart's visceral vocal power since The Kills' 2003 song "Cat Claw," but that duo's relatively minimalist approach seemed to hold her back. In the supergroup the Dead Weather, her incredibly forceful vocals are matched by equally full and equally aggressive music, and the band's pinnacle so far is Sea of Cowards' "The Difference Between Us," with most of its non-drum sounds falling somewhere between guitars and synthesizers. Mosshart devours the song – the listener is no match for her as she sings, "You can cry like a baby" – but Jack White and company keep up with her, and the return from the bass-led, shrapnel-filled intermission is startling in its warped perfection. (Listen here.)
Jaill, "Thank Us Later." Opening with and propelled by a slide guitar that disappears once the vocals start, this track from the Milwaukee band Jaill is little more than a solid, well-performed, throwaway pop song, but it's pretty terrific. You need a break after Mosshart and the Dead Weather. (Listen here.)
Peter Wolf Crier, "Hard as Nails." In writing about this song in May, I said it "starts patient but anxious, builds and escalates, and closes with intertwined, almost pained harmonies." Nothing is wasted in this track from Peter Pisano and Brian Moen, whose aesthetic is at once intimate and full, allowing for both quiet thoughts and loud feelings. (Video here.)
Sarah Harmer, "New Loneliness." It begins with what seems like a metaphor: "There is just one apple on the tree / It isn't like I hoped it'd be / Yesterday, when there was still you / I looked and I swear that I saw two." But it becomes clear through the song that Harmer's narrator is simply viewing the world differently, finding new things "to remind me of my new loneliness." The mood is less sad than solitary, and the tone is measured instead of emotional; there's a clinical eye for detail that expresses a certain numbness – awareness prior to pain. (Listen here.)
Retribution Gospel Choir, "Your Bird." It has the noise, clatter, and furor of Low's "Everybody's Song" from 2005, but this track from the second album by Retribution Gospel Choir is a little cleaner, more direct, and more blunt. Alan Sparkhawk leads both bands – this trio trades Low drummer Mimi Parker for Eric Pollard – and his guitar and vocals are in fine form. The lyrics don't amount to much – it appears to be a condescending anthem directed at wannabe rock stars – but the biting, spitting, screaming, majestic guitar would do Neil Young proud, and the ghostly falsetto croon at the climax pairs with it well. (Video here.)
Kingsley Flood, "Back in the Back." The swamp sounds of the opening are funneled into a fiddle, and the lead track to the excellent Dust Windows quickly finds its poppy Americana groove, with that fiddle and a banjo backwoods elements in what begins merely as solid, expertly arranged songcraft. The pining singing and lonesome harmonies of the chorus elevate it, and the guitar and fiddle break segues into tremulous desperation: "I'm bound / I'm bound / I'm bound to drown." (Listen here.)
Sun Kil Moon, "Australian Winter." With no more than a nylon-stringed guitar and his voice, Mark Kozelek creates a spare but detailed landscape, as cold and desolate as the song's title would suggest but hardly barren; his playing and singing reveal an emotional history. (Listen here.)
Kaki King, "My Nerves That Committed Suicide." At the outset, gentle finger-picked guitar underscores a restrained slide guitar that recalls whale calls and occasionally trumpets, and for roughly half its running time, this instrumental track feels like it will be little more than tastefully constructed ambient textures. But then drums kick in, summoning a wave of warm, triumphant tones and an invigorating, bright melody held aloft by the slide. Despite a title suggesting poor mental health, this is a musical exercise in discipline, of choosing just the right sounds and moments for maximum impact. (Listen here.)
Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross, "A Familiar Taste." As with the Black Francis song that opens this collection, I'm at a loss to explain how Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross' instrumental soundtrack to The Social Network makes any sense in the framework of the film (which it surprisingly does). The movie is made with evident joy and pointed wit, but the score is dark and anxious, typical of Reznor. Guitarist Adrian Belew (of King Crimson) supplies many of the squalls of sculpted noise, and those combined with the prominent beats make "A Familiar Taste" far more aggressive than you'd expect for such a talky movie. Poised comfortably between the background role of soundtrack music and a stand-alone piece, it's smart and emotionally inert but oddly invigorating – and in that way is an excellent match for the Facebook founder at the film's center. (Listen here.)
Yeasayer, "Madder Red." Its big beats and synthetic sounds would make it at home in the cringe-worthy 1980s pop world, as would the tone of the lead vocals, as would the high-pitched-harmony hook. But Yeasayer's unerring arrangement of these elements produces a miracle: a song that feels contemporary and fresh and organic and not the least bit embarrassing. (Video here.)
Wavves, "King of the Beach." Simple, dumb, big, fast, loud, spastic, artless jangle rock from the mind and mouth and Nathan Williams. Those are compliments all, and I don't mean to suggest that any of them is easy to pull off convincingly. The song's title tells you just about all you need to know. (Listen here.)
Deer Tick, "Twenty Miles." Without much real competition, my favorite song of the year – a simultaneously gorgeous and gruff love song executed with masterly precision and conviction. John McCauley's one perfect detail – "And I think of your smile / I'm in love with your teeth" – is indicative of his writing skill, but the song is also populated with universal pronouncements of undying dedication, particularly the refrain: "If you're runnin' away / I'm lookin' for you / And if you lost your way / I'm seein' you through." It's corny, but it works for two reasons: "Twenty Miles" understands the requirements of real love, and McCauley's voice (with its reedy vibrations) is utterly, shamelessly committed to its sentiments. The arrangement of guitar, cello, and piano is effectively emotive but would be nothing without his sincere pleas, assurances, whines, moans, and croaks. (Listen and download here.)
Laura Veirs, "Little Deschutes." Following McCauley's naked, stalker-y devotion, we close with Veirs' understated, dreamy way of saying much the same thing: "I want nothing more than to float with you." An organ at one point quietly recalls a carnival – suggesting a reverie – but that's offset by the stately lead piano, a mournful guitar solo, and subtle strings. The loss is palpable in McCauley's hands; here it's implied but just as powerful. (Listen here.)

Psychic Monkey by scott-plasterWatch

One of the latest in the artist's series of "whimsical" animals, this gibbon monkey was a resident of the Natural Science Center of Greensboro, NC. The juxtaposition of the red, plastic ball with the wild monkey (in captivity) is a stark contrast. The background of zig-zags sets the monkey apart from its surroundings in an unearthly quality. This monkey and its mate died tragically in July 2008 when they were undergoing their annual physical examinations.

Medications for Schizophrenia

- What is the Outlook for Schizophrenia?
- Further Information
Since schizophrenia may not be a single
condition and its causes are not yet known, current treatment methods are based on both
clinical research and experience. These approaches are chosen on the basis of their
ability to reduce the symptoms of schizophrenia and to lessen the chances that symptoms
will return.
Medication for the Treatment of SchizophreniaAntipsychotic medications have been available since the mid-1950s. They have greatly improved the outlook for individual patients. These medications reduce the psychotic symptoms of schizophrenia and usually allow the patient to function more effectively and appropriately. Antipsychotic drugs are the best treatment now available, but they do not cure schizophrenia or ensure that there will be no further psychotic episodes. The choice and dosage of medication can be made only by a qualified physician who is well trained in the medical treatment of mental disorders. The dosage of medication is individualized for each patient, since people may vary a great deal in the amount of drug needed to reduce symptoms without producing troublesome side effects.
The large majority of people with schizophrenia show substantial improvement when treated with antipsychotic drugs. Some patients, however, are not helped very much by the medications and a few do not seem to need them. It is difficult to predict which patients will fall into these two groups and to distinguish them from the large majority of patients who do benefit from treatment with antipsychotic drugs.
A number of new antipsychotic drugs (the so-called atypical antipsychotics) have been introduced since 1990. The first of these, clozapine (Clozaril�), has been shown to be more effective than other antipsychotics, although the possibility of severe side effects in particular, a condition called agranulocytosis (loss of the white blood cells that fight infection) requires that patients be monitored with blood tests every one or two weeks. Even newer antipsychotic drugs, such as risperidone (Risperdal�) and olanzapine (Zyprexa�), are safer than the older drugs or clozapine, and they also may be better tolerated. They may or may not treat the illness as well as clozapine, however. Several additional antipsychotics are currently under development.
Antipsychotic drugs are often very effective in treating certain symptoms of schizophrenia, particularly hallucinations and delusions; unfortunately, the drugs may not be as helpful with other symptoms, such as reduced motivation and emotional expressiveness. Indeed, the older antipsychotics (which also went by the name of neuroleptics), medicines like haloperidol (Haldol�) or chlorpromazine (Thorazine�), may even produce side effects that resemble the more difficult to treat symptoms. Often, lowering the dose or switching to a different medicine may reduce these side effects; the newer medicines, including olanzapine (Zyprexa�), quetiapine (Seroquel�), and risperidone (Risperdal�), appear less likely to have this problem. Sometimes when people with schizophrenia become depressed, other symptoms can appear to worsen. The symptoms may improve with the addition of an antidepressant medication.
Patients and families sometimes become worried about the antipsychotic medications used to treat schizophrenia. In addition to concern about side effects, they may worry that such drugs could lead to addiction. However, antipsychotic medications do not produce a high (euphoria) or addictive behavior in people who take them.
Another misconception about antipsychotic drugs is that they act as a kind of mind control, or a chemical straitjacket. Antipsychotic drugs used at the appropriate dosage do not knock out people or take away their free will. While these medications can be sedating, and while this effect can be useful when treatment is initiated particularly if an individual is quite agitated, the utility of the drugs is not due to sedation but to their ability to diminish the hallucinations, agitation, confusion, and delusions of a psychotic episode. Thus, antipsychotic medications should eventually help an individual with schizophrenia to deal with the world more rationally.

I have to say, Pokemon Black and White's Pokemon have disappointed me abit. They don't look as good as the previous. Pokemon like Configurous, Yanmask and Klink really aren't that great. Sure, there are some good ones like Unfezant, Haxorus, Zebstrika and the legendaries, but a lot of them are just plain ugly. For most players, looks come first rather than strength.

Type: Improvement
Status: Open
Priority: Minor
Resolution: Unresolved
Affects Version/s: 3.0.1
Fix Version/s: None
Component/s: core/search
Lucene Fields:New, Patch Available
Here's the situation: We have a site with a fair few amount of indexes that we're using MultiSearcher/ParallelMultiSearcher for, but the users can select an arbitrary permutation of indexes to search. For example (contrived, but illustratory): the site has indexes numbered 1 - 10; user A wants to search in all 10; user B wants to search indexes 1, 2 and 3, user C wants to search even-numbered indexes. From Lucene 3.0.1, the only way to do this is to continually instantiate a new MultiSearcher based on every permutation of indexes that a user wants, which is not ideal at all.
What I've done is add a new parameter to all methods in MultiSearcher that use the searchables array (docFreq, search, rewrite and createDocFrequencyMap), a Set<Searchable> which is checked for isEmpty() and contains() for every iteration over the searchables[]. The actual logic has been moved into these methods and the old methods have become overloads that pass a Collections.emptySet() into those methods, so I do not expect there to be a very noticeable performance impact as a result of this modification, if it's measurable at all.
I didn't modify the test for MultiSearcher very much, just enough to illustrate the that subsetting of the search results works, since no other logic has changed. If I need to do more for the testing, let me know and I'll do it.
I've attached the patches for MultiSearcher.java, ParallelMultiSearcher.java and TestMultiSearcher.java.

Patch for proposed change.
Is creating MultiSearcher/MultiReader per-request too heavy? I thought these were pretty lightweight.
You can also stuff everything into the same index and use cached filters.
It's not entirely the fact that creating a MultiSearcher per request is too heavy. if you'll look at 2440, I also modified ParallelMultiSearcher to support a fixed thread pool; what I'm worried about is, even with a fixed thread pool of something small like 4 threads, the concurrent request count could spiral the amount of threads that the JVM has to deal with out of control. If I can use the same ParallelMultiSearcher across requests, with a fixed thread pool of something sane like 16 or 24 threads, then I can be reasonably sure that this particular class isn't going to spiral thread counts out of control.
As far as stuffing everything into the same index, we've looked into that and determined that it isn't a real possibility because the size of the indexes - there's quite a few ranging from a few MB to a few GB of data - would make the merge process relatively expensive and coupled with the fact that the indexes themselves are built and maintained separately, we'd be needing to run the merging process too frequently for it to be feasible.
I think there was a recent issue about running ParallelMultiSearcher over Java5 Executor. If you use Executor, it takes care of pooling threads for you, and you create ParallelMultiSearcher per-request without worries.
A quick search (in JIRA and markmail) yielded no results. Can you link me to the issue? While that may (yet to be seen) be a solution to my problem, is that a reason to not accept the proposed patches (2440 and this one, 2447)?
I think it was
But yep, as you noted in
LUCENE-2440 (missed this issue), while they moved over to Executor, they haven't provided a way to supply an external one. So I fully support LUCENE-2440.
As for the current issue, I'm always butting in when people try to add something that can already be done with existing APIs. Less APIs = better design, easier to support.
Ah, cool, regarding
You mention that it's possible to accomplish what this accomplishes with the current API, via instantiating a MultiSearcher per request, which is possible, but I think this way would be much simpler and while increasing the complexity of the API, it does so in a consistent way that's easy to understand and use (and doesn't break BC); if the difference between the proposed change of the API and the current API is too different, maybe splitting the API change into a new class would be the solution (i.e. two classes: MultiSearcher and SplittableMultiSearcher). Either way, under the current API, calls look like this:
public void doSearch(){ Set<Searchable> searchables = this.getSearchablesFromRequestParams(); //faux method MultiSearcher mSearcher = new MultiSearcher(searchables); mSearcher.search(someQuery, 1000); //... }
Compare with, under my proposed API:
public void doSearch(){ this.mSearcher.search(this.getSearchablesFromRequestParams(), someQuery, 1000); //... }
Keeping in mind that I'm not sure this is an entirely esoteric/niche requirement (surely I can't be the only one who has this issue) and this doesn't break any existing code or significantly increase its execution time, the end result is much cleaner code (from userland) that's also less resource intensive (however cheap - on my completely idle Q9300 it takes about 3us (20us for ParallelMultiSearcher) to instantiate* - it may be to instantiate MultiSearcher, it's still more expensive that keeping one instance around, especially in a heavily trafficked environment), especially regarding memory usage and garbage collection times.
- I created 100 indexes, each with 10,000 documents (each of which had 100 fields named name1, name2, etc. with 128 bytes of random string) and then tested that - each index was ~60MB. I can paste the code I used if you would like.
I talked to Uri in IRC, and he suggested making a Predicate<T> utility interface and using that instead of forcing people to use Set<Searchable>. This seemed like a much better idea, so I went ahead and implemented that and this is the patch that reflects that.
(Note: patch name is LUCENE-2447-predicate.patch).
I think I'm leaning toward Earwin's thinking... MultiSearcher seems to be mostly behavior and almost no state. Push a little more in that direction and you have a lot of flexibility. Perhaps allow the CachedDfSource to be specified, don't copy the Searchable[] array, and all of a sudden it's as light weight as a String.
edit: actually, I just realized that CachedDfSource isn't even maintained state... it already is really light weight. Adding the ability to specify an Executor gets you 99% there.
I think that's where I have a misunderstanding and disagreement with the function of the multisearcher. Because it's mostly stateless, I can't help but thing that it's designed to be instantiated on demand, every time that it needs to be used. While with the "traditional" MultiSearcher, this doesn't seem to be much of a problem (3us is no time at all), it gets progressively heavier and more cumbersome to keep creating Executors every time with ParallelMultiSearcher. OTOH, given the ability to specify an Executor at object creation "solves" this issue, making ParallelMultiSearcher almost as light as MultiSearcher itself.
Not to digress into architectural theory, but I have a disagreement with the way that these classes are designed to be used. In order to make MultiSearcher even functional, the application needs to maintain its list of Searchables outside MultiSearcher itself; given the ability to specify an Executor at construction time (for ParallelMultiSearcher), you're now maintaining an array of Searchables (because we it's expensive and wasteful to create those every time they're needed) and a thread pool management object in the calling object. This reeks of state leakage to me, where the state of [Parallel]MultiSearcher is being maintained by an external, calling object and is being re-created every time it's needed, violating encapsulation conventions and practice. Furthermore, (with the caveat that I'm relatively new to lucene) MultiSearcher is itself a Searchable and this behavior is inconsistent with the way that I've seen other Searchables handled. I'm not sure how much sense it makes to trade maintaining a reference to one Searchable (that encapsulates several) to maintaining a list/array/collection of references to other Searchables... especially when you look into multi-threaded apps and non-final collections of Searchables that may start to modify the state (however transient) of your MultiSearcher outside of the class itself.
I'm not sure how clear it is from my previous comments and the code itself, but the idea behind the patch was that the user (in this case, me) wouldn't be maintaining anything for the state of the [Parallel]MultiSearcher except for the instance of the class itself. Right now, it's possible to do this (not keep any permanent references to anything that's fed into the MultiSearcher constructor) but only if you intend to always search all of your Searchables. The patch takes a few steps in the direction of making keeping references to the Searchables outside of the MultiSearcher unnecessary (although, come to think about it, if this is the direction this class heads in, getSearchables() needs to return a [deep] clone of multiSearcher.searchables rather than the array itself), but without any method defined in Searchable that allows you to identify a Searchable without a reference, I'm not sure that there is much more that can be done.
