Redefining "Mood Stabilizer"
December 9, 2008
James C.-Y. Chou, M.D.
The growing role of anti-psychotics in treating mood disorders. Do they work? An insightful summary of the latest studies on the use and effectiveness of these medications.
The great mood disorder puzzle: what should be dealt with first when a patient is suffering from a mania hidden inside a depression strapped to a see-saw? Brain chemistry gone awry is the main culprit behind these perilous bipolar ups and downs. Thankfully there are many psychiatric medications available to help restore some balance, mainly those from the category known as Mood Stabilizers.
Not too long ago there were only a few of these unique drugs. But recently, so many new ones have come out that now the very term Mood Stabilizer is in question. Patients are confused. And there's also a robust debate within the medical community itself.
Simply put, here's the dilemma: If a medication from a totally different class of pharmaceuticals, like the atypical antipsychotics, stops manic episodes should it also be called a Mood Stabilizer? And are these newcomers as effective as the traditional medications?
It takes an expert to make sense out of this medication muddle. Dr. Chou will carefully explain what all the newest research says about what's important in the ever-changing world of Mood Stabilizers. Knowledge is a powerful pill!

What Do Happiness Research and Positive Psychology Have to Say About Depression?
Tuesday, November 11, 2008
Richard O?Connor, PhD
Ah, happiness! Throughout history, great thinkers, from philosophers to poets to scientists to songwriters, have searched for the key to finding it. But recently, some psychologists have tried to quantify what makes people happy using clinical research. Does this latest quest for answers, known as positive psychology, have any bearing on clinical depression? "When you at look this movement from the perspective of mood disorders, some of it is naïve, but some of it is quite relevant," says Richard O'Connor, acclaimed author and psychologist and our November lecturer. "When people are treated for depression," he says, often they get to where they're just short of being able to find real pleasure in life, but it's possible to aim a little higher than that." Don't miss his take on this fascinating topic.
Dr. O'Connor is the author of "Happy at Last" and "Undoing Depression".
Help! My Medication's Not Working
Tuesday, October 7, 2008
David Hellerstein, MD
Antidepressants, mood stabilizers and other drugs are crucial for treating depression and bipolar disorder. But sometimes they stop working; others times they never even start. This lack of response is called treatment resistance and it can be one of the most frustrating stumbling blocks someone with a mood disorder will ever encounter.
But the desire to get better doesn't have to stop there. "There are approaches that can help people gain or regain a good response," says psychiatrist and author David Hellerstein, MD, our October lecturer. From rethinking the diagnosis, to trying new regimens, to exploring options like exercise and meditation, Dr. Hellerstein will discuss options for overcoming this troubling situation.
At the lecture, Dr. Hellerstein recommended The Peace of Mind Prescription: An Authoritative Guide to Finding the Most Effective Treatment for Anxiety and Depression by Charney, Nemeroff and Braun, especially the chapter on resilence.
Dr. David Hellerstein is a cutting edge researcher and top psychopharmacologist. He is an Associate Professor of Clinical Psychiatry at Columbia University. His web site is depressionny.com. He is also associated with the Depression Evaluation Service.
Mood Disorders at the Movies
June 3, 2008
Steven E. Hyler, MD, Clinical Professor of Psychiatry, Columbia University
Hollywood filmmakers have always been irresistibly drawn to disorders of the brain as sensational subject matter for the movies. And who can blame them? When it comes to dramatic themes, depression, mania and the other mental illnesses have it all: the exhilarating highs, the gloomy lows, the internal struggles, the intense personal relationships torn asunder. And don't forget those scary asylums. But does Hollywood get it right? "Most cinema depictions of mood disorders are dreadful—inaccurate, overly dramatic and worst of all, stigmatizing," says Steven E. Hyler, M.D., our June lecturer.
Still, there is much to learn by looking at the way pop culture portrays mood disorders and psychiatry. Dr. Hyler, a renowned psychiatrist, professor, and film buff, is an expert on using film as a tool for teaching medical students about mental illness. Despite the generally dismal state of things cinematic, he says, there have been surprisingly accurate, and respectful portrayals: Timothy Hutton's performance in Ordinary People and Jimmy Stewart's in Vertigo are two high points for major depression; Richard Gere in Mr. Jones and Kevin Kline in Sophie's Choice are two for mania.
At the other end of the spectrum are the exploitive movies in the horror genre, from Psycho to the Halloween series. But perhaps most troubling of all are those that are somewhere in between. "Movies that just get some of it right can be worse," says Dr. Hyler. A Beautiful Mind, for example, offers a sympathetic but inaccurate view of mental illness as well as a potentially dangerous anti-psychiatry theme. "When directors create characters like Russell Crowe's, that people really sympathize or identify with, along with a strong, anti-medication bias, it could have disastrous effects."
Come hear Dr. Hyler's entertaining, controversial analysis of mood disorders on the silver screen. It's sure to be one of our most memorable lectures and box office boffo.
Dr. Hyler is also an Instructor for the American Psychiatric Association course "Teaching Psychiatry: Let Hollywood Help."

Personalized Psychopharmacology
April 1, 2008
Richard A. Friedman, M.D.
Imagine a future where a simple blood test could tell doctors which psychiatric medication is most likely to work on an individual patient. The agonizing trial-and-error process that so many sufferers of mood disorders must endure before finding the right medication might be completely avoided. The truth is, such a blood test is only a few years from being ready to use in clinical practice. "Soon a simple genetic test will be able to help psychiatrists biologically personalize treatment," says Richard Friedman, a leading psychopharmacology researcher. Don't miss the chance to hear him explain the exciting possibilities of this cutting edge area of research.
Richard A. Friedman, MD, Professor of Clinical Psychiatry, Director of the Psychopharmacology Clinic, Weill Medical College, Cornell University. Dr. Friedman also writes on Behavioral Science for the New York Times science section. See his articles.
Care for the Patient, Care for the Family: Family Inclusive Treatment for Mood Disorders
March 4, 2008
Igor Galynker, MD, PhD. Director of Beth Israel?s Family Center for Bipolar Disorder
A new wave is sweeping the psychiatric community: the idea of involving families closely in the treatment of mood disorders early on. Many doctors feel that it's the key component to successful outcomes that's been missing for too long. Input from the family helps psychiatrists more accurately gauge the depth and intensity of symptoms, and the general quality of the person's life, explains psychiatrist Igor Galynker, one of the leaders in this approach and our March lecturer. "As a result, doctors have a more complete picture to work from when prescribing medication," he says.
Anyone who wants the best treatment for themselves or a loved one will want to come hear the latest thinking on family-based treatment from one of the leading experts on the subject. Be sure to attend this important lecture.

A Psychopharmacologist Talks About Talk Therapy
January 8, 2008
David Brody, M.D.
CBT, DBT, RET, interpersonal, group - there seems to be plenty of options when it comes to talk therapy, but sometimes it's hard to choose the right approach. Which ones are the most effective at treating mood disorders? What does the research say? Should you see separate clinicians for medications and therapy or take an integrative approach? "There's a lot to consider," says David Brody, our January lecturer. Dr. Brody will give the lay of the land on therapy from his perspective as both a top psychopharmacologist and therapist. Be sure to attend this important lecture.

Exciting New Therapies for Treatment-Resistant Depression
Tuesday November 6, 2007
Sanjay Mathew, M.D.
Dealing with depression is never easy, but when multiple medication regimens fail to do the job, or side effects are so debilitating that certain treatments are not options, it's easy to lose hope. Don't. Researchers have been making exciting breakthroughs for treating these tough cases - what's known as treatment-resistant depression.
"We actually prefer the term 'difficult to treat' instead of treatment resistant. We're finding novel ways to successfully treat this type of depression all the time," says Sanjay Mathew, MD, assistant professor at Mt. Sinai School of Medicine. New drugs, new combinations, alternative treatments, and new approaches involving electroconvulsive therapy and other brain stimulation techniques are all making it possible for more people to find relief, says Dr. Mathew. "Making yourself aware of all the latest advances is a good way to work toward a better outcome."
Dr. Mathew is an award-winning researcher and expert on "difficult-to-treat" depression at Mt. Sinai School of Medicine. Come hear him speak about how the latest advances are poised to help some of the toughest cases.
In Search of Memory: Psychiatry, Psychoanalysis and the New Biology of Mind
Monday October 1, 2007
Eric Kandel, M.D.
realized that our thoughts, mental processes and moods had real physical components. Eric Kandel's work in locating the specific area in the brain responsible for memory changed the way that scientists think about the human mind, and his years of neuroscience research have shed even more light onto the way our brains work.
Now, Dr. Kandel turns his attention to the biological components of depression and psychotherapy, arguing that therapy, particularly psychoanalysis, has suffered from a lack of scientific rigor. "To what degree can psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, and biology come together? That should be the new focus in the discussion of depression," says Dr. Kandel, who posits that advances in brain imaging technology will help enable a long-needed objective look at therapy.
Dr. Kandel is a Nobel Prize-winner and Luminary in the Field of Neuroscience. Not only a brilliant scientist, he is also an eloquent writer and speaker on the interplay between biology, thought, and mood. His recent book, In Search of Memory, has earned rave reviews of both its scientific and literary brilliance. Don't miss this exciting opportunity to hear a luminary in the field of neuroscience speak about mood disorders.
NOTE: Admission for this Fundraiser Lecture is $10 for nonmembers and $6 for members.
NOTE: This will be our first lecture the new Podell Auditorium in the Bernstein Pavilion.
Bipolar II: What I've Learned From Treating 800 Cases Over Many Decades
May 1, 2007
Ronald Fieve, MD
When it comes to treating bipolar disorder, Ronald Fieve is one of the giants in the field. He was among the pioneers in using lithium as a mood stabilizer and his best-selling book Moodswing introduced the concept of bipolar disorder into the mainstream.
He was also instrumental in helping to establish this very organization, twenty-five years ago. Now he turns his attention to bipolar II, the frequently misunderstood subtype of the disease. His recent book explores the concept of "beneficial highs," and raises the question, "Is it possible to take advantage of these highly productive, positive states and still adequately treat the devastating depressive ones?" Don't miss this important lecture.
Dr. Ronald R. Fieve, a psychopharmacologist, is a leading world expert in diagnostic evaluation and biological treatment of Bipolar I, Bipolar II, manic depression, depression, panic, anxiety disorders and ADHD. Professor of Clinical Psychiatry, Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center and Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia University. Chief of Psychiatric Research, Lithium Studies and Manic Depression Research, New York State Psychiatric Institute, New York City.
Antidepressants for Bipolar Disorder? Are They Helpful? Are They Safe?
February 6, 2007
Maria Oquendo, MD
When it comes to treating bipolar disorder, antidepressants can be a double-edged sword. In many cases, they can trigger mood instability and more frequent episodes, although without them patients are often doomed to suffer through particularly acute depressive episodes. "Most bipolar patients do receive some kind of antidepressant, but there is much debate about whether they might actually make them worse," says Maria Oquendo, our February lecturer. Finding the exact medication balance is difficult, but the evidence now emerging can bring about better outcomes. Are antidepressants for bipolars making a comeback? Come hear the latest thinking on this controversial issue. Dr. Oquendo is a leading expert on this subject and she'll speak as both a researcher and a clinician.
Dr. Oquendo is a professor of clinical psychiatry at Columbia University, a researcher and practicing psychiatrist.

After GTAIV was first announced, Microsoft bragged about it's exclusive deal with Rockstar to secure downloadable content. All this bragging came to head when the downloadable content in question was delayed countless times. Fortunately, the patient few can finally hear the first ever details of this brand new expansion courtesy of USA Today. According the to the article, the title of this expansion will be called "Lost and Damned" and will follow the exploits of Johnny Klebitz, a member of the biker gang, the Lost. Eagle eye observers will know that Niko ran into this gang in a couple of missions, not to mention infrequent references on the in-game radio. Rockstar's Dan Houser, although mum on specific details, did give us some insight on the personality of Klebitz...
Johnny is a very different character than Niko, with a very different background. I can't go into too much detail on the story, because we try not to give away too much plot before the game is released. But I can say that the story will show you a different side of Liberty City.
This new expansion will be February 17th on the Xbox Live Marketplace. Unfortunately, no details regarding price were released.
UPDATE: Rockstar has made an official press release along with new screenshots. The expansion will also come with new multiplayer modes, weapons, vehicles, and new music as well. Sweet deal.

Modern Languages, Literatures, and Linguistics
As the primary symbolic system by which we establish, maintain, and express our identities, language is one of the most defining aspects of who we are. Its centrality to human existence identifies the study of a language other than one's own as a crucial component of a liberal arts education.
The Modern Languages, Literatures, and Linguistics department at Luther College is a center for international and intercultural education, beginning with the fundamentals of that education, the study and learning of different languages. By developing competence in the five language areas (understanding, reading, speaking, writing, and culture) and exploring the fundamentals of language both at Luther and in study abroad, our students learn to operate within a different symbolic system. This unique perspective on diversity enables them:
to communicate more fully with people whose language and culture are different from their own;
to better understand the relationship between human cognition, social behavior, language structure, and language use, and to apply the resulting skills to the study of any language;
to develop analytical skills and aesthetic appreciation in the study of written texts, including literature, increasing their awareness of the diversity of human culture through encounters with and practice in non-Anglophone ways of thinking; and
to broaden their understanding of other cultures, to reflect upon their own, and to better appreciate the interaction between language and cultural expression.
The United States is one of only a handful of countries in the world where monolingualism (even among the educated) is the norm. The Department of Modern Languages, Literatures, and Linguistics seeks to present our colleagues, students and constituents with a multilingual and therefore multicultural perspective, a necessary step toward furthering national and international education and cooperative communication.

Check out the 2015 Editor's Choice winners for Connecticut
Connecticut is the gateway to a land of white-steepled churches, brilliant town greens, and sparkling-blue Atlantic waters, not to mention lively cities, great food, and some seriously competitive outlet shopping. From the expanse of beaches that unfurl along Long Island Sound to the bustle of Yale University and New Haven to the whaling history of Mystic Seaport, the state is an blend of sophistication, as well as the charm inherent in historic towns and villages nestled into rolling hills that were first settled in the 1600s.

If I create an Azure package via Visual Studio then it works fine and runs on Azure. If I run the following cmd then the .cspkg that is created is 8,032KB instead of 14,785KB that is created via Visual Studio.
The command line generated .cspkg should be larger than via Visual Studio as the afterbuild event creates additional css / javascript files.
I want to run it via the command line as when I deploy the project locally it compresses/minifies in the afterbuild event and I cannot work out how to make the Azure Package be created after that process so I thought I would do it this way instead.
cspack.exe C:\blah\Azure\ServiceDefinition.csdef
The ServiceDefinition has:

My project only has 1 role so I don't understand why via Visual Studio the filesize is almost double, I also can't add .zip to the .cspkg and view the files of my cmd line generated .cspkg.

Every year Disney produce a new series of Hidden Mickey pins and they will be available at Disney Parks very soon.
Every pin measures approximately 1.25 inches and contains a small Mickey Mouse icon in the art (hence the name). Julie Young, long-time developer of Disney pins was involved with the creation of this year's pins.
My inspiration for this years collection came from a variety of sources, explained Julie. I looked at previous collections, listened to feedback from pin trading fans and found some really cool artwork. My goal was creating two unique pin collections that guests would enjoy trading for when visiting Disney Parks.
Similar to the 2011 collection, there will be two different waves introduced at Disneyland and Walt Disney World Resorts. The first wave is due to arrive in late January, while the second wave will arrive later in the summer.
This year's series collections include:
Zodiac signs, which will be a shared series by Walt Disney World and Disneyland
Colourful sea creatures from The Little Mermaid ~ Ariels Undersea Adventure attraction - Disneyland Resort
Coloured Paint Cans for - Walt Disney World Resort
The first wave of pins will be 30 unique pins for Disneyland Resort, 35 unique pins for Walt Disney World Resort and the 12 shared Zodiac pins.

A coalition that includes social service providers and financial industry representatives has launched Bank on Clark County, an initiative intended to encourage saving by helping low-income households open savings accounts.
The local effort is part of a nationwide collaboration between social service agencies and financial institutions in many communities to eliminate some barriers to opening savings accounts.Kevin Gillette, executive director of the Community Housing Resource Center and chairman of the local Bank On initiative, said the coalition isn't asking banks or credit unions to change policies. But he said participating financial institutions will offer warm, supportive assistance to social service clients who have little experience, or negative experiences, with financial institutions.
More information is available from Gillette at the Community Housing Resource Center, email@example.com or 360-690-4496 ext. 101.

Abstract : Differential display of mRNA was used to identify concordant changes in gene expression induced by two mood-stabilizing agents, lithium and valproate (VPA). Both treatments, on chronic administration, increased mRNA levels of the transcription factor polyomavirus enhancer-binding protein (PEBP) 2β in frontal cortex (FCx). Both treatments also increased the DNA binding activity of PEBP2αβ and robustly increased the levels of bcl-2 (known to be transcriptionally regulated by PEBP2) in FCx. Immunohistochemical studies revealed a marked increase in the number of bcl-2-immunoreactive cells in layers 2 and 3 of FCx. These novel findings represent the first report of medication-induced increases in CNS bcl-2 levels and may have implications not only for mood disorders, but also for long-term treatment of various neurodegenerative disorders.
Bipolar affective disorder (BD ; manic-depressive illness) is a common, severe, chronic, life-threatening illness (Goodwin and Jamison, 1990). Despite much research, however, there is a dearthof knowledge concerning the etiology of this disorder. The discovery of the efficacy of lithium (Li) as a mood-stabilizing agent revolutionized the treatment of patients with BD, but despite the role of Li as one of psychiatry's most important treatments, the molecular basis for its mood-stabilizing actions remains to be fully elucidated (Jope and Williams, 1994 ; Manji et al., 1995).In recent years, it has become increasingly appreciated that anyrelevant biochemical model proposed for the effects of mood stabilizers must attempt toaccount for their special temporal clinicalprofile—in particular, that the therapeutic effects require a lag period for onset of action and are generally not immediately reversed on discontinuation. Patterns of effects requiring such prolonged administration of the drug suggest alterations at the genomic level (Manji et al., 1995 ; Hyman and Nestler, 1996).
To identify changes in gene expression that may be associated with the therapeutic efficacy of mood stabilizers, we have concurrently investigated the effects of Li and valproate (VPA), the only two medications approved by the Food and Drug Administration for treatment of BD. These are two structurallyhighly dissimilar agents ; although they likely do not exert their therapeutic effects y Precisely the same mechanisms, identifying the genes that are regulated in concrt bythese two agents, when administered ina therapeutically relevant paradigm, may provide important clues about the molecular mechanisms underlyingmood stabilization. We report here the novel findings that both treatments robustly increase the levels of theneuroprotecive protein B cell lymphoma protein-2 (bcl-2) in frontal cortex (FCx), findings that may have implications for various neurodegenerative disorders.

Differential display
Inbred make Wistar Kyoto ratts (selected to reduce potential false-positives due to individual differences), at a starting weight of 150-200 g, were treated with Li2CO3 (4 Eq/kg/day), sodium VPA (400 mg/dg/day), or saline by twice daily intraperitoneal injections for 9 days or 4 weeks. Rat brains were dissected on ice, and FCxs [an area of the brain implicated in the pathophysiology of BD (Drevets et al., 1997 ; Ketter et al., 1997)] were directly frozen on dry ice and stored at -80°C. Trunk blood was collected for determination of Li (0.7 ± 0.3 mM) and VPA (39 ± 3 μg/ml) levels, both of which approximated the plasma levels attained clinically. Total RNA was isolated from cortex using Trizol reagent (GibcoBRL), and trace DNA was removed. DD was performed using the Gene Hunter kit, with the extension time increased to 50 s. Reactions (150) were performed with the combination of three one baseanchored 3' primers and 50 5' arbitary primers (Liang et al., 1995) ; on average, 270 bands were obtained in each reaction. Two samples from individual rats in each treatment group were assayed side by side for comparison (Fig. 1A). cDNA bands were cut out from the gel, reamplified by PCR using the same primer set, and cloned into a pCR2.1 vecotr. Three clones were sequenced from T7 and MI3 priming sites using an automated sequencer. BLAST searches were conducted for each clone obtained, andthe homology with known sequences in the GenBank database was further evaluated using the BESTFIT program from the Genetic Computer Group's Sequence Analysis Software Package.
RNase protection assays
Both polyomavirus enhancer-binding protein (PEBP) 2β and β-actin 32P-RNA probes were synthesized using MAXIscript an in vitro transcription kit from Ambion (Austin, TX, U.S.A.), using T7 RNA polymerase. A clone encoding the PEBP2β 3' end obtained from DD was used as the template for PEBP2β probe synthesis ;the β-actin probe was synthesized using pTRI-β-actin (Ambion) as the template. The probes were purified on 6%polyacrylamide 8 M urea gels, and Nase protection assaywas conducted (HybSpeed RPR kit ; Ambion)using stabndard assay protocols,except that the hybridization time was extended to 3 h and T1 RNase was used inthe digestion.

FCx samples were homogenized by sonication in a protein extraction buffer containing 20 mM HEPES (pH 7.8), 124 mM NaCl, 5 mM MgCl2, 0.2 mM phenylmethylsulfonylfuoride, 10 μg/ml leupeptin, 10 μg/ml aprotinin, and 5 mM dithiothreitol. The homogenates were centrifugated at 14,000 g for 10 min to remove debris. DNA-bindig assays were conducted with 32P end-labeled double-standed oligonucleotides containing the consensus PEBP2-binding element (agctaactgaccgcagctggccgt) (Kanno et al., 1998). Ten microliters of the binding mixture contained 10 mM HEPES (pH 7.8), 1 mM sperimidine, 3 mM MgCl2, 7% glycerol, 0.015% Nonidet P-40, and 1.5 μg/μl poly(dI : dC). The binding reaction,initiated by addition of 10 μg of extracted proteins, was done at room temperature for 20 min and terminated by addition of 6 × sample loading buffer. The binding mixture was then elecrophoresed on 6% DNA reardation gels (Novex) at 100 V for 1.5 h for 0.5× Tris-borate-EDTA. The gel was vacuum-dried and then exposed to x-rayfilm. The intensity of the bands was measured using an image analysis system with NIH Image 1.55 software.
Immunoblottin of bcl-2
Rats were chronically treated with Li, VPA, or saline,and FCx samples described above were prepared for immunoblotting, conducted using established methods (Chen et al., 1998) with monoclonal antibodies aganst bcl-2 (N-19 ; 1 : 100 dilution ; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz,CA, U.S.A.) using protein concentrations (20 μg) verified to be in the linear range for the assay. The specificity of the bcl-2 antibody was verified with blocking experiments using saturaing concentrations of a bcl-2 peptide (data not shown). The immunocomplex was detected withan Amersham ECL kit. Immunoblots were quantitated bydensitometric scanning of the film using an Image Analysis system (NIH Image 1.55 software). an aliquot of pooled "standard" rat brain fraction was assayed on one lane of eachgel. Data were normalized against the rat brain standard, to minmize between-blot variability.
Immunoistochemical studies of bcl-2
Immunohistochemical studies were conducted using established methods (Hsu et al., 1981). In brief, rat brains were cut at 30 μm, and serial sections were cut coronally through the anterior portion of the brain, mounted on gelatin-coated glass slides, and stained with thionin. The sections of the second and third sets were incubated free-floating for 3 days at 4°C in 0.1 M phosphate-buffered saline containing a polyclonal antibody against bcl-2 (N-19 ; 1 : 3,000 ; Santa Cruz Biotechnology), 1% normal goat serum, and 0.3% Triton X-100 (Sigma, St. Louis, MO, U.S.A.). Subsequently, the immunoreaction product was visualized according to the avidin-biotin complex method, and the specificity of the antibody used was verified.

Figure 1A shows a DD gel demonstrating that levels of a particular mRNA species were markedly increased by both treatments ; the cDNA was cloned from this gel and named clone 12. Clone 12 (GenBank accession no. AF087437) is 355 bp long and contains a poly(A) tail ; a BLAST search revealed that it shows very high sequence homology to the 3′ end of the mouse (92% identical sequences) and human (85%) transcription factor PEBP2β subunit (also known as core-binding factor β and acute myelogenous leukemia 1 β) (Liu et al., 1993 ; Wang et al., 1993 ; Kanno et al., 1998). To verify the DD results, RNase protection assays were conducted with a 32PRNA probe generated using clone 12 as the template. Consistent with the DD results, chronic treatment with both Li and VPA increased the levels of PEBP2β mRNA in FCx (Fig. 1B and C). In the absence of available antibodies to PEBP2β, we next sought to determine if the treatments induced functional changes in PEBP2 transcription factor activity.
Although PEBP2β does not directly bind to DNA, binding of PEBP2β to PEBP2α (the DNA-binding subunit of the PEBP2 transcription factor) forms a high-affinity DNA-binding complex that results in a dramatic increase in transcription (Wang et al., 1993 ; Kagoshima et al., 1996). The PEBPαβ complex is observed as the top band in DNA binding assays, migrating quite distinctly from PEBPα (Ogawa et al., 1993 ; Wang et al., 1996). Chronic treatment of rats with either Li or VPA significantly increased the DNA-binding activity of PEBPαβ in FCx (Fig. 2A and B). These results indicate that the Li- and VPA-induced increases in PEBP2β mRNA levels do have functional consequences. To determine if these effects are specific for mood-stabilizing agents, we investigated the effects of other psychotropic agents. Chronic treatment of rats with either d-amphetamine sulfate (5 mg/kg/day) or chlordiazepoxide (5 mg/kg/day) did not produce any detectable changes in the DNA-binding activity of PEBP2αβ in FCx (Fig. 2C and D).
We next sought to investigate putative targets of the PEBP2 transcription factor that may be of therapeutic relevance in treatment of BD. The promoter of the human bcl-2 gene (both rat and human genes) has a PEBP2-binding site, and this site has been clearly demonstrated to increase the expression of a reporter gene driven by the bcl-2 promoter (Klampfer et al., 1996). A neuroprotective role for bcl-2 is well established, and constitutive expression of high levels of bcl-2 protein enhances the survival of cells when exposed to adverse stimuli (Jacobson and Raff, 1995 ; Merry and Korsmeyer, 1997). Also, the in vivo delivery of a bcl-2 expression vector protects neurons against focal ischemia (Lawrence et al., 1996), and bcl-2 has also been demonstrated to promote neuronal regeneration in the mammalian CNS (Chen et al., 1997). In this context, it is noteworthy that recent studies have shown that mood disorders, including BD, are associated with volumetric changes on magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography, suggestive of neuronal atrophy or loss (Drevets et al., 1997 ; Ketter et al., 1997). Furthermore, both brain imaging studies and postmortem morphometric three-dimensional cell counting studies have implicated the FCx as one of the sites of neuronal atrophy or loss in BD (Drevets et al., 1997 ; Rajkowska, 1997). We therefore next sought to determine if the treatment-induced increase in PEBP2αβ DNA-binding activity in FCx was accompanied by changes in levels of the neuroprotective protein bcl-2. Immunoblotting studies showed that chronic treatment of rats with both Li and VPA resulted in a doubling of bcl-2 levels in FCx (Fig. 3A and B). To localize further the medication-induced increases in bcl-2 levels, immunohistochemical studies were conducted (Hsu et al., 1981). Both treatments resulted in a marked increase in the number of bcl-2-immunoreactive cells in FCx layers 2 and 3 (Fig. 3C-H). It is noteworthy that neuroprotective effects have recently been reported for both Li and VPA (Bruno et al., 1995 ; Nonaka et al., 1998) ; the robust increases in bcl-2 levels that we have demonstrated may play a major role in mediating these effects.
In summary, we report here the novel observation that chronic administration of two structurally dissimilar mood-stabilizing agents, Li and VPA, robustly increases bcl-2 levels in FCx. These results suggest that mood-stabilizing agents may bring about some of their long-term beneficial effects via hitherto underappreciated neuroprotective effects (Smith et al., 1995 ; Duman et al., 1997). Also, these novel findings represent the first demonstration of medication-induced increases in the levels of bcl-2 in the CNS and may have implications for the long-term treatment of various neurodegenerative disorders.

Nation's Largest Retailers Accused of Organic Fraud
December 13, 2007 06:28 PM - Paul Schaefer, ENN
Seattle - In a scandal now ensnaring some of the nations leading retailers, a series of lawsuits have been filed accusing Wal-Mart, Costco, Target, Safeway, and Wild Oats of consumer fraud for marketing suspect organic milk.
The legal filings in federal courts in Seattle, Denver, and in Minneapolis, against the retailers, come on the heels of class action lawsuits against Aurora Dairy Corporation, based in Boulder, Colorado. The suits against Aurora and the grocery chains allege consumer fraud, negligence, and unjust enrichment concerning the sale of organic milk. This past April, Aurora officials received a notice from the USDA detailing multiple and "willful" violations of federal organic law that were found by federal investigators.

Scientists uncover how plants invaded the land, learned to survive heat, drought
December 13, 2007 04:21 PM - UC Berkeley Newswire
Berkeley -- Some 400 million years ago, on a lifeless lakeshore lapped by waves, floating algae learned to survive in the open air and launched an invasion that transformed the Earth into a green paradise. The secrets of these first steps onto land are now being revealed thanks to the sequencing of a modern descendent of these first land dwellers, a dainty moss called Physcomitrella patens that sprouts on recently exposed shorelines, quickly fruits, and then dies.

Seattle, Washington - It has been a decade since University of Washington scientists first pinpointed specific instances of air pollution, including Gobi Desert dust, traversing the Pacific Ocean and adding to the mix of atmospheric pollution already present along the West Coast of North America.
Now a UW researcher is finding that dust from the Gobi and Taklimakan deserts in China and Mongolia is routinely present in the air over the western United States during spring months. "We are interested in Asian dust that comes across the Pacific because particles can have an impact on health, as well as on visibility," said Emily Fischer, a UW doctoral student in atmospheric sciences.

Managing manure in California
December 12, 2007 05:32 PM - Alec Rosenberg, UC Merced Newswire
Merced, California - A partnership between agricultural leaders and UC Merced aims to help California farmers maintain the environment and the economy.
California is the nation's leading dairy state, generating $5.2 billion in milk and cream sales a year. While that keeps the state's 1.7 million dairy cows busy making milk, they also produce plenty of manure. The manure is filled with nutrients that farmers can use as fertilizer, but it also can pollute the environment.

I came out to my buick to find out that the battery had been drained. After jumping it, I noticed that the interior lights would not go out. I pulled the fuse for the interior lights, but it still drained my battery. The only way to keep it from not being drained is to disconnect the battery.

Third-Generation Management Development: Managers Are Not Created in a Classroom, but Practicing Managers in a Classroom Can Step Back from Work Pressures and Learn Profoundly from Their Own Experience. the International Master's Program in Practicing Management at McGill University in Canada and around the World Is Truly In-Practice Learning and an Alternative to the MBA
Mintzberg, Henry, Talent Development
Managers can't be created in a classroom. Instead they should be engaged actively in their learning, which means it should relate to their personal experience. Unfortunately, most degree programs for such people rely on the first generation of other people's experience and the second generation of artificial experience, while mostly ignoring the managers' own natural experience.
In 1996, Mintzberg and a group of colleagues started the International Master's Program in Practicing Management at McGill University. They wanted participants to stay on the job while having significant time to learn, by going back and forth in order to carry their workplace experience into the classroom and their newfound learning back to the workplace.
They also had to rethink their approach to the classroom--to bring this third generation of learning alive by encouraging managers to learn from experience. Classroom activities had to be reinforced by activities on the job. That extends the learning not only to the participating managers, but also into their organizations.
Management development programs have long relied on lecture and discussion of cases--in other words, on learning from other people's experience. We can call that first-generation management development. It has been fine, as far as it went; it just didn't go far enough. Learners aren't vessels into which knowledge can simply be poured--or, perhaps closer to the case study method, horses led to water in the hope they drink. People must be actively engaged in their learning, which means it should relate to their personal experience.
Accordingly, a second-generation of programs arose to create experiences for learning, dating back to Reg Revans's early work in Europe on action learning. This has had a resurgence in the United States in recent years--stimulated by General Electric's Work-Out programs. Managers have come into programs to be sent promptly back to their workplace, or to that of others, to engage in projects to improve things and thereby to learn. That seems fine too, though there have been problems. One, many of those programs have involved more action than learning; in other words, they have become organization development in the name of management development. T.S. Elliot wrote a poem about having the experience but missing the meaning. Management development is about getting the meaning.
Two, managers are busy people, busier than ever. Do they need programs that create more work for them back at work? Do they need artificial experiences when they're already overwhelmed with natural experience?
It is time for a third generation of management development. What managers need now, above all else, is to slow down, step back, and reflect thoughtfully on their natural experience. A motto for Work-Out at GE is, "Need to do, not nice to do." The motto for third-generation management development is, "Use work, don't make work."
A new approach
In 1996, a group of colleagues and I brought this idea to life in the International Master's Program in Practicing Management. I'd long been a critic of conventional MBA education, which I argued is business education that leaves a distorted impression of management, as too analytic, too removed from context--theories, cases, and techniques in mid air, so to speak. In fact, I wrote a book about this and its consequences for management, Mangers Not MBAs, being published by Berrett-Koehler in April.
You can't create a manager in a classroom, Management is a practice that has to combine a good deal of craft, namely experience, with a certain amount of art, as vision and insight, and some science, particularly in the form of analysis and technique. But students without managerial experience lack the craft and have little basis for the art, and so programs to train them have relied on the science, and that's what leaves a distorted impression of management. …

EDMONTON - Tony Kanaan is blue.
Well, his car is this weekend anyhow. After watching him drive a green 7-Eleven car for several years, his long-time fans may have a tough time finding him on the track of the Rexall Edmonton Indy with his new blue paint job.
The new colour scheme is because of his new sponsor, Frank's Energy Drink, and has nothing to do with superstition after a number of incidents earlier this year.
"I was talking about that the other day to a couple of friends of mine and one of them said green is not a good colour," said the former IndyCar champion.
"I said I won the championship in '04 and I won all my races in green. This weekend I'm changing it to blue so we'll see."
Now backed by Frank's -- owned by Frank Stronach, founder of Magna International and Entertainment Corp., and father of Liberal MP Belinda --Kanaan may seem to have a black cat following him around, but he's still third in the points standings and has already won once this season.
"I don't want to think about the possibility of having a black cat or any superstition you can come up with," he said. "It's just racing. You look at the guys in front and, yeah, they've had better luck this year. In '04 I finished every lap of every race and I think people hated me, the guys racing against me."
The problem, he admitted, is perception. In 2004 he won the championship and became the first driver in major auto racing history to complete every lap of every race for an entire season. He followed that by finishing second overall in 2005 and third in 2007. It seems his fans just want more.
There's nothing he would like more than to give them a win this weekend, not just to quench the thirst of his fans but to pull him closer to points leader Scott Dixon of Target Chip Ganassi Racing and Helio Castroneves of Team Penske who is second going into Saturday's race.
Born Antoine Rizkallah Kanaan Filho in Salvador de Bahia, Brazil, the winner of more than $9 million in his 12-year career driving in CART and IndyCar would have to do that on a track he had never driven on before Thursday's two practice sessions.
"But I watched last year's (Champ Car) race four or five times, looked at some data we got, walked around the track. Walking is good because you can look at bumps and curves and elevations. Then I went to the hotel and thought about it."
Like many of the IndyCar drivers who have never raced the Edmonton airport track, Kanaan figured it wouldn't take him more than about 20 minutes to figure it out.
"I better," he added with a chuckle. "Otherwise I'll be fired."
He didn't really figure it out Thursday but then, few of the IndyCar drivers really did. Kanaan finished with the seventh best time.
"It was not a very good day," he admitted. "We were able to find some speed but we have to improve the balance of the car."
Kanaan is one of four drivers Andretti Green Racing is running in IndyCar this year, joining Danica Patrick, Marco Andretti and Hideki Mutoh. It's the largest team in IndyCar and Kanaan likes the options it gives the drivers and engineers. At the end of the practice sessions they sit down and discuss who had the best laps and why and make adjustments to the cars to try to get all four equal to the fastest car.
"Then we start the next day on the same page and try to improve. We're always working together. We always debrief with the four drivers and four engineers together, which makes for a long meeting, but it's really important and we make the decisions from that."
The other three drivers often turn to Kanaan and the team veteran at age 37 and with 14 CART and IndyCar victories to his credit, is always eager to help them out.
"It's my role on the team, being the oldest guy. After we all debrief, when I hear what Danica says and what Marco says and what Hidelo says, if I have something I think will help them I'll tell them."

Background: 52 years old and starting to pick up a new past time in the touring arena. Do a lot of backpacking on the AT, but ankles are giving out, but still want to enjoy the adventure of being outdoors.
Current Needs: I want to do some small trips near the Tidewater area of VA to test out if I can really get into this overnight bike / camping thing. I have a couple of garage sale bikes that I picked up a couple of years ago. I do, however, know the value of having the proper equipment for the task and have been looking at a Surly LHT for a permanent ride. Prior to that, I want to check out how my endurance and nerves will serve me on the open road. I am thinking of using one of these garage sale bikes and a trailer for my initial trips. I like the Maya Trailer and that will be one of my first purchases after Christmas is over with.
The questions I have are on this bicycle. It is a 12 speed bike that was sold by Montgomery Ward some years back. It is a Open Road 1200 GT. I did some research to find out if this would be an okay ride and came up with the fact that Huffy built most of these bikes with Murray building a few. The only serial number I could find was under the crank set (A881U14929). Some reviews of Huffy have revealed that these are the only chain store bike that can be dangerous. Anyone ever had any experience with these bikes coming apart and causing issues with health?
Before I spend $1500 on a Surly, I really want to gauge my long term interest in this new passion. I love to backpack the Appalachian Trail, but the ankles are giving me a fit. I am thinking the touring lifestyle might afford me the sense of adventure without the impact to my body parts. So if I can make what I have do...for the local trips, I would like to pursue this strategy. But not if the bike will come apart once loaded. And when I mean loaded, most of the weight will be on the trailer, not the bike. If I graduate to the Surly later on, I will then have some experience with a trailer to determine if that is indeed better than panniers.
Now the other question. This bike is a 12 speed. I have another Jamis mountain bike that is a 21 speed and has a 22/32/42 front crank set (bought at the same garage sale). From my research, I am gathering that a 22 tooth granny gear is a good thing. Can these crank sets / gears be swapped out on the two bikes? The MW bike has a Shimano front deraileur of unknown type and a Shimano Tourney on the back. The Jamis bike has a Acera rear deraileur. Both bikes have tire sizes of 26 x 1.95"
If anyone can help, I am open to suggestions. - Thanks
