The MacPorts Project's main goal is to provide an easy way to install various open-source software products on the Darwin OS family (OpenDarwin, Mac OS X and Darwin)
There are currently about 6364 completed and usable ports, with more being added on a regular basis. You can track recently added ports by subscribing to the macports-changes mailing list.

My overall experience with MacPorts has been constant errors and failed installations. Dependencies that are not installing for some reason and lots (and lots) of frustration.
I don't know if it's solely MacPort's fault, but rather perhaps a huge con with all package managers, who rely very heavily on dependencies to build and run.
While I will say that macports is fine, if you don't know how to do much with unix, as a power user it just isn't good enough.
Not only are a great deal of its packages out of date, but it overwrites any you may have installed yourself, if something needs it as a dependency... which makes for one hell of a time recompiling and installing the current versions yourself...
Yes, it's awesome. But not necessarily in a positive way.
Sure, you can get a lot of software installed more or less automagically, usually without errors. The problem is dependency hell - it seems bent on replacing more or less every program that comes included in OS X. Let me give you a few examples. The last couple of months I've been toying with various functional languages and revision control programs. All these should seem pretty standard fare that should run more or less out of the box, right? Wrong.
Git (Linus Torvalds new Bitkeeper replacement): This is listed as dependent on perl5.8. No problem you say, Perl 5.8.6 is included in Tiger. Ah, but MacPorts insist on building 5.8.8, and most people who've had multiple perls installed know that it's usually not a good idea (especially if using mod_perl). Browsing through the Git source code I can't find a single Perl script containing a require 5.8.8, and anyway most of them are copyright 2005, when 5.8.8 wasn't even released.
Darcs (another fine revision control system): This requires ghc, which is natural since it is written in Haskell. Fine, I've planning to take a look at Haskell for ages. But wait, ghc also requires Perl 5.8.8. Darn. Think I'll go looking for precompiled binaries instead.
Erlang (concurrent programmling language): Should be pretty straightforward, except it's dependent on tk. Ok, despite it's datedness Tk is nice enough, so why not? Because it insists on building and install XFree86, that's why not. Jeez! Perl and Python can run it without X11, so no reason Erlang can't. Besides, who actually use XFree86 these days?
Other stupidities: Inkscape -> dbus (fair enough) -> docbook-xml-4.1.2 (huh? generating HTML documentation is now a required dependency?!). Or GNUCash -> Firefox-X11 (despite that you most likely have Firefox already installed). I'm tempted to mention that pdftk requires a rebuild of GCC and the better part of a day , but in all fairness that's not MacPorts' fault.
Still, I'm tempted to agree that the principle of building from source is flawed and go back to binary packages, were it not for that the alternative also sucks quite a bit. After three years using Ubuntu where Stuff Just Works, it's a rare sight to see the Mac stuff looking like a kludge compared to Linux.
i cannot believe this is free. it's an awesome resource!
@bitnix : To setup your PATH, put this line in your .bash_profile:
That works for me, at least (yeah, I also thought .profile and .bashrc would be the right place, but apparently not in Darwin).
Though I do like this, I won't be able to make much use of it until it supports binary packages like Fink (which as far as I can tell, it currently doesn't). Who wants to be compiling all the time?
Just a quickie question (I'm sorry for asking in here, but...) :
Most of the time when I install commands with this (or when I build them manually), they never seem to 'kick in', as they don't seem to be in my PATH. Now, I know this is super basic stuff, and there are numerous info places on the web, but I'm still confused; exactly which profile file am I supposed to edit on my system (OSX 10.4.10 using bash), and it would be great to see an actual example on how it could look like in that file. (I realize I should ask this somewhere else, but I'm so desperate to get this PATH enigma over with.)
Also check out http://osx.iusethis.com/app/porticus for a GUI package manager.
* macports now handles over 3700 ports
* it can be found at www.macports.org
* the installation takes up very little space
I like it better than fink (seems more polished), but offers less than half the software (ports/packages). Of course nothing stops you from using both.

Hi everybody,
I've been using PSM for a while and I think the software is really great.
Nevertheless,I've recently updated my computer with Windows 8 PRO and PSM can't find my PS3 anymore. So when I run the program from the .exe, I keep the huge red cross and the PS3 isn't find.
The strange thing is that when I run the program from the .jar file, everything works like a charm.
Does someone have the solution to that problem ?
Thank you very much.

Pittsburg and Antioch both said "no" to marijuana dispensaries this week, joining a growing list of cities that have done so in California. But it was a tale of two cities as far as how they came to their decisions.
While Pittsburg approved its version of the ban without any discussion or opposition, Antioch leaders gave final approval to the ordinance in a divided 3-2 decision.
The restriction stops dispensaries, mobile delivery service and cultivation in the East Contra Costa cities, but does not prevent qualified patients from getting marijuana in limited situations, such as licensed clinics, hospices and nursing homes for patients with chronic life-threatening illnesses.
Qualified patients can still grow marijuana at their homes for personal use.
Antioch's ban goes into effect in 30 days. Pittsburg's ordinance will come back for final approval at the council's Feb. 19 meeting; if approved, it will kick in a month later. Oakley and Brentwood have also banned medical marijuana dispensaries.
The use of medical marijuana is banned under federal law, despite a measure approved by California voters in 1996 that allowed its use. However, it is left up to local governments to determine whether to allow dispensaries to operate within their jurisdictions.
The decisions by the two city councils sided with their staffs' recommendations over concerns about the secondary effects of marijuana facilities -- namely criminal activity such as burglary, robbery and the sale of illegal drugs, particularly to youngsters.
Pittsburg's lack of participation didn't surprise Mayor Nancy Parent.
"I think they knew they were going to lose," she said.
When the moratorium was first proposed in April 2011, the only opposition came from the operators of the East Bay Collective.
"Their problem was they opened a business without any permits, without any business license," Parent said. "They started with one foot in the grave and apparently they could not get anybody else to speak for them."
Antioch also put a moratorium on cannabis clubs in early 2011 after learning a dispensary opened in a shopping plaza off Wild Horse Road without permits and near a preschool and day care center. Police also received complaints about people smoking marijuana outside and loitering.
The landlord was already in the process of evicting the dispensary before the city intervened.
Cannabis proponents at Antioch meetings in the past months have countered city staff assertions by saying that dispensaries, if operated and regulated appropriately, could generate much-needed revenue for the city.
Ed Breslin, the United Food and Commercial Workers union's national coordinator for cannabis and hemp, said a dispensary would create 10 jobs in the city. More than 200 Antioch residents go to a dispensary in Hercules, he said.
"It's just a matter of education," Breslin said.
Mayor Wade Harper and Councilmembers Gary Agopian and Monica Wilson voted for the ordinance, while Mayor Pro Tem Mary Rocha and Councilman Tony Tiscareno voted against, saying they wanted to explore more of the possible economic benefits.
The majority of the council said that the distribution of cannabis should be done through more proper channels such as pharmacies.
"We all want jobs. We love creating jobs. But, I'm still against dispensaries. I don't think they belong in Antioch," Harper said.

Ben Gazzara
This poor son of Italian immigrants from the streets of Manhattan's Lower East Side, grew up to appear in more than 55 films and theatre productions. A brooding, intense actor from the same school as Marlon Brando, he has made a mark in front of and behind the camera. He worked alongside some of the most influential actors and directors in the business.
Biagio Anthony Gazzara was born on August 28, 1930. His parents were Sicilian immigrants, and Gazzara was speaking Italian before he learned English. The family lived on East 29th Street, between 1st and 2nd Avenues, and they struggled to get by. Their situation worsened when Gazzara's father, a roofer and carpenter, died when Ben was still a small child. The tenement they lived in had no heat, and Gazzara recalls how there were mornings where he dreaded getting out of bed because the tile floors were so cold.
His escape was always acting. The Madison Square Boys' Club was across the street from his flat, and it was there that he performed in his first play. He had gone there to see a friend perform, and young Gazzara was made envious by the applause his friend received at the end of the show. He decided he wanted to try it, and the first time he was ever backstage, surrounded by costumes and pancake make up, he was hooked; he knew he had to be an actor. He started performing and became a regular star of the plays the club would put on.
As he got older, Gazzara was accepted to Stuyvesant High School, an elite school that specialized in math and science. After two years he returned to Catholic school. He graduated and went on to New York City College, where he studied drama. More and more determined to pursue acting, he attended the Dramatic Workshop, which had previously been attended by Marlon Brando, Walter Matthau, Rod Steiger and Shelley Winters, and like those famous students, Gazzara would go on to study at the prestigious Actors Studio, where the legendary Lee Strasberg was teaching Method techniques.
In the 1950s, Gazzara got his break, a Broadway debut, playing Jock de Paris in "End As A Man." His career became more distinguished with parts in "A Hatful of Rain," "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolfe?," and "Love Letters." Gazzara was the first to play Brick in Tennessee William's "Cat On A Hot Tin Roof." As the 1950's became the 1960's, Gazzara found work in both films and on television. He was cast in bad guy roles early on, perhaps most famously as the defendant represented by Jimmy Stewart in Anatomy Of A Murder.
From 1965 to 1968, Gazzara took on one of the roles he is most famous for, that of Paul Bryan in the NBC series Run For Your Life. Conceived by the same writers as The Fugitive, the show concerned a San Francisco lawyer who goes on a routine trip to the doctor, only to find that he has a mysterious disease that the doctors know nothing about, and for which there is no cure. Bryan is told he only has two years to live, and he makes it his mission to live life to the fullest. The show followed Bryan around the globe as he tried to get as much into two years as possible. It posed the existential question to its audience about what exactly it means to live. Gazzara not only acted in the show, but also directed several of its most powerful episodes. In the three years it was on the air, the series received two Emmy nominations for Best Dramatic Series, and Gazzara himself received two for Best Actor.
As the years went on, there was more film work for Gazzara, much of it with several big name directors. With John Cassavetes he made Husbands, The Killing of a Chinese Bookie, and Opening Night. There was The Spanish Prisoner with David Mamet, The Big Lebowski with Joel and Ethan Coen, and Summer of Sam with Spike Lee, among others. Most recently, he has been seen on television in the remake of Brian's Song. These days, Gazzara is based in Italy, where he continues to make movies.Gazzarahas been a cigar smoker for more than thirty years. Prior to that, he had a cigarette habit of four packs a day. A whistle in his bronchial tubes and the release of the Surgeon General's report about the dangers of smoking made him give up cigarettes in 1963, but the report made no mention of cigars, which he continued to smoke. Gazzara has battled oral cancer as a result. We wish him a speedy recovery and a return to his craft. During a career that spans almost a half-century, Ben Gazzara has given us many memorable characters. We hope there will be many more to come.

Lighten up Rakeer. Or maybe, wake up. Drugs are destroying this country and all you want to do is coddle the users. There is enough news and information available that people should be knowledgeable about what drugs can do. If they want to be irresponsible, then let them die. That way we don't have to pay for their upkeep, welfare, healthcare and whatever else they are sucking from the public dole.
Drug dealers should be executed. The drug supply would all but dry up if that was done, and a big problem would be all but eliminated.

Sadly it is the prescription pills that star most if these off headed for H. Many become addicted bc they have a real ailment. Others seek out oills because it is a LEGAL high no way to get busted for use. Doctors and the drug culture now go hand in hand. I am not saying its right I am just pointing out where the problem lays. Also if Wv had a Med Marijuana law it would keep many of these harmful prescription pain killers that lead ti H out of peoles hanrs. You have a chance this year for that. Mike Manypenny reintroduced the MMJ bill this year. There wss a poll 53% of registered voters believe now is the time to be able to offer MMJ in your state. Stop this kind of activity call your reps tell them to get on board. It won't stop H all together but will curb the road of people going to it. Harm reduction is what's needed people.

Think about this. In the 60's to early 70's we were at war with Vietnam. This country had a H problem. It seemed to dry up until we went to war with Afghanistan. Which is also a poppy rilled nation now we are back to H flowing on the street. All pain pills a synthetic. So we can assume the H on the street probably isn't. Looks a little like the Freeway Rick Ross story uncovered by Gary Webb in the 1980's. Just food for thought.

Drugs are a problem because the people who take them feel the need to self medicate the pain away. What pain? Mostly mental/emotional pain that is a product of the immoral and dysfunctional society that doesn't want to hold anyone accountable for their actions.

@hindsight: You can blame the doctors all you want, but in the end, the USER is the problem. I've been in need of pain meds several times due to injuries, etc. I followed the directions by my doctor, and as I started healing, I didn't need the meds anymore.
However, some people enjoy the exaggerated feelings that result from drugs, and they don't want to quit. These people are idiots, and can't be trusted. Doctors can't tell who is likely to become addicted.
Drug dealers don't care who they hurt, as long as they make their sale.
All in all, you'd think some of these idiots would get the hint by now. I have no tolerance for druggies.

I have to pipe in too---- I think you let them die also. I'm sick of paying for their cell phones, medical bills, food and everything else. If you are not productive in society you need to be removed from the gene pool....... Lots of problems solved!!! I should run for office!!!

Rakeer,it makes no difference WHO said what,it's the reasoning behind,and a few people got it ( you and 3 others excluded). Needles are not fun and games for anyone,especially for someone running into them after the hype is finished. Guess you missed the hepatitis article. I can tell you for a fact,it's no fun renovating rentals when you go to replace a ceiling tile,and a tribe of needles fall out in your face. They sure didn't care if who came behind them caught something and died,now did they?

When I had my lung cancer surgery at CAMC in September,2011,for pain the nurse gave me a hydrocodone pill. I was furious because I know that one can become addicted to these deadly 'pain" pills. I demanded that for my pain they issue nothing stronger than Aleve for pain. I have arthritis. I will not take Celebrex or any prescription strength pain medication. To do so would be a dismal future. Aleve for me,or simply bear the pain. Would most of you do that?

Glad to see by the agrees the majority who read my replys got them. I need not worry abouth those here who don't. Funny thing for those who don't know or don't remember. IFPHED has admired to using pot in her past yet will put down those of us who choose a better path for ourselves. Mine is based in religion and also I have gotten off the deadly opiates with my move where I have no fearof prosecution for my actions. Now as far as what pain not that its your business but I have roughly 10 deteriorating disc inneck and spine also nerve damage that goes from my neck to toes on both sides not to mention a few other painful conditions. I also dropped my xannax prescription along with IB 800 . Now to replace all those with cannabis to ne is an improvement. So for what its worth not everyone wants to be on medication. Just like mejustme I can now go even a few days without nothing. My life has improved. Some of these addicts didn't get there on their own. Some don't want to recover some do.

Now as far as professionals getting the blame. Well it was the CIA who got Rick Ross hooked up selling cocaine in CA. It was under the Reagan administration. So yes some of what was supposed to be the most professional men in our nation perpetuated the drug war by bringing in the supply to to help fill prisions and fund 2 wars. One of those wars is/was the war on drugs. Why aren't any of those men in prison for their misdeeds? Simple because they all had badges and only the poor people went to jail while funding the Contra's and the war on drugs unknowingly.

BTW my federal card of exemption is good in all 50 states. lol so if i wanted to come home for a visit ain't jack you can doo.That icludes calling all your buddies uless you want to get them in federal court facing a $10,000 fine for denying me my rights of spirituity let alone the prison time that can go with it.

@hindsight101 so you have never heard of a much bigger problem of drunk driving? Wow, these comments go along way in explaining why this community is so narrowminded and pathetic. How can you people have no compassion, no feeling for another human being? You are so severly damaged, I feel such pity for you.

Denise,there are many of us who live the strait and narrow. We,for the majority of us,have no compassion for a druggy or dealer,who both are the scum of the earth,and dangerous to decency. Our lack of compassion is rightfully so for those who become addicted by their own ignorant choices and their lack of responsibility to others as well as themselves.

You know what? I am sick and tired of the drug issue. I hate druggies, and I can't help it.
I really DO understand addiction to MEDICATION. H e r o i n, c r a c k, etc., are not MEDICATIONS, PER SE'.
In this day and age, when we all know about drug wars, affects of dope, etc., WHY ARE PEOPLE STILL GETTING ADDICTED?

Hi Andrew,
I have been a user of the community edition for several years and recently switched to the pro edition.
First, I would like to thank you a lot for releasing the open-source Community Edition, it is great to a have such a great Cad Software in all the major Linux distros.
I think it would be really great if it was possible to change the dimensions of an object in the same way as in Inkscape : the dimensions of the bounding box of an object are displayed in the upper side of the window and can be edited, to scale it.
I think that, most of the time, we now the desired dimensions of the object, not the scaling factor. It is a bit annoying to have to calculate this factor everytime we want to scale something.
I am sorry if my english is not very good : I am french.
Best regards,
Off topic : Here are some examples of what I use Qcad for :

Sanitation Worker Charged With Drunk Driving Salt Spreader
A New York City sanitation worker was charged with drunk driving Wednesday morning when he struck a car while driving a salt spreader in Queens, police said.
Dewayne Ruddock, 33 years old, was on duty working to prepare for a forecast storm when he struck a parked car around 12:34 a.m. at 132nd and Rockaway Boulevard in the South Ozone Park neighborhood, police said.
The car was occupied, police said. The driver was not hurt.
A responding police officer smelled alcohol on Mr. Ruddock's breath, and he was arrested and charged with driving while alcohol impaired, police said.
Mr. Ruddock was given two breathalyzer tests, and both times his blood-alcohol level register over the legal limit of .08.
Mr. Ruddock was awaiting arraignment in Queens Criminal Court and could not be reached for comment. It was not immediately known if an attorney had been assigned to his case.

Hi all,
Another regression, this time with playback of music. Maybe someone has seen this before.
I have all my music stored as FLAC files in artist/album directories. When I select a song for playback, the next song in the directory isn't automatically played when the first finishes. I have been seeing some erratic behaviour:
- just one song is played - after that i'm back in the directory view of the album
- next song plays automatically, but stops halfway through - after that i'm back in the directory view of the album
- long songs (> 10 mins) play only for about 10 minutes or so - after that i'm back in the directory view of the album
I believe this all started happening after or around upgrading the ps3 firmware from 2.70 to 2.76. Before that all songs in a album directory played just fine sequentially.
Anyone else has noticed same?
Many thanks,
ps: I know there is a setting in the Video settings menu that allows sequential playback for Video. I have that setting turned OFF as I don't want that feature enabled for Video, just for Music. There does not seem to be a similar setting for Audio playback.

FoodFacts.com will be exploring the effects on seafood following disasters such as oil spills today.
Back in 2010, theGulf of Mexicosaw an oil spill unlike any seen in decades. For months, the news covered the BP oil spill, examining the environmental effects of the spill that flowed for months following an explosion of an oil rig.
Roughly two years later, the effects on the fish and seafood in the waters are finally being seen, with mutated fish and eyeless shrimp being discovered in the very same waters the oil streamed into.
For obvious reasons, this is cause for concern among consumers. The fact that mutated and sick fish reside in those waters begs the question to be asked: are consumers at risk if they purchase seafood that came from the Gulf?
Scientists can't point the finger to the oil spill as the definite cause of the deformities. However, given the history, many are convinced that the fish and seafood are showing illness and mutations as a result of the spill.
Rest assured, according to the Food and Drug Administration – the deformities presented in the seafood and fish do not pose any risk to the consumers as sick fish are not permitted to be sold, according to FDA regulations. Furthermore, the FDA has said that numerous testing has been performed and is continuing to be performed even today to be sure.
If that wasn't enough to try and alleviate consumers concerns, the FDA also makes a point of explaining the amount of seafood that would need to be consumed to even reach the level of concern the FDA has regarding the issue, and that amount is even more than eating 9 pounds of shrimp per day for 5 years.
So is there cause for concern? As mentioned in previous blog postings, that is all up to the individual consumer and their trust in the government. But regardless of the concern level of Gulf seafood currently, a person should ALWAYS pay attention to seafood safety.
That being said, FoodFacts.com would like to wish you and yours and a happy and healthy weekend!

Today's letters: Divorce legislation
Published: Sunday, April 14, 2013 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, April 12, 2013 at 3:52 p.m.
To the editor: So the anti-regulation crowd that runs North Carolina wants to further regulate divorce by requiring longer waits (two years instead of one year), requiring couples to take courses in hopes of changing their minds, and allowing them to live together instead of separating. All this because North Carolinas divorce rate hovers above the national average.
Several years ago, they pushed through an amendment to ban gay marriage one reason being because it was harmful to marriage between a man and a woman.
Im confused. If we dont allow gay marriage because it harms traditional marriage, but have a divorce rate above the national average for traditional marriage ... hmmm. It is a conundrum.

County records
To the editor: Recently, the Times-News printed a list of unpaid 2012 property tax liens. I havent added up the 16-page total, but it must be a big number. It makes you wonder where they get the money to buy private schools, build unneeded hospitals and run water lines to bail out developers who fail to complete normal due diligence.
The list includes original borrowers, both individuals and developers, and the loan originators, our familiar banks. But there was no reference to the lenders, including Fannie and Freddie.
What makes this odd is that Henderson County is suing Fannie for unpaid property tax. How can we spend money in a quest for unpaid taxes when we cant identify the delinquencies? Fannie certainly has more than a few, but it cant identify them, either.
The reason for the unidentified lien holders is called MERS. Loan originators now assign mortgages to MERS. MERS was formed by Wall Street in the 1990s to reduce payment of county recording fees and hide further loan assignments.
If we want to repair future county records, we should lean on our congressmen and our senators. MERS only exists with their approval.
William Fitch
To the editor: It is interesting that nobody talks about global warming October, November, December, January, February, March and April. During the year 2010, 38,000 people died from drug overdoses (Times-News), and nobody talks about restricting taxpayer subsidies for prescription drugs.
The most common weapons used by street thugs for assaults, robberies, breaking and entering, etc., are knives, screwdrivers, hammers and baseball bats. The politicians and media do not talk about knife control or restricting the sale of knives.
With all the good intentions of the 18th Amendment (Prohibition), it ignored human nature, and most Americans do not like being dictated to by politicians. Prohibition created widespread disregard of the law, widespread corruption of police, courts and politicians, and increased violence for the profits of the liquor business.
What incredible arrogance when one group of people can dictate by law and tell others they cannot buy or drink a beer. From the notebook (1895) of Samuel Clemens: The more things are forbidden, the more popular they become.

White House Wants 'No Strings' on Jobless Aid
WASHINGTON—The White House, following several quiet weeks while President Barack Obama was vacationing in Hawaii, urged Congress on Monday to support an expanded unemployment-benefits program without offsetting the costs.
"Today is the day that 1.3 million Americans start going to their mailbox and find that the check that they expected to get today is not there," said Gene Sperling, the director of the White House National Economic Council, during the daily White House briefing.
Benefits for the long-term unemployed expired at the end of the year and there appears to be little traction in the House. The Senate was expected to vote Monday on reviving the program but that vote could be delayed because frigid weather is making it difficult for senators to get back to Washington.
House Speaker John Boehner (R., Ohio) has said the GOP might consider extending the benefits if they are paid for and if the administration includes other measures to boost growth.
Mr. Sperling said the "president believes that we should pass this right away with no strings attached."
Legislation in the Senate would extend the emergency benefits for three months, at a cost of about $6 billion. It's unclear whether there is enough support in the Senate for the measure to advance. Democrats generally support the measure, while most Republicans are opposed to it, citing the cost and arguing that it discourages people from finding work. However, one of the bill's co-sponsors is Sen. Dean Heller (R., Nev.), whose home state has an unemployment rate of 9%.
People are eligible to receive the benefits after they've exhausted their state benefits, which typically last for 26 weeks. The emergency program was expected to be temporary and at its peak allowed workers to obtain 99 weeks of benefits, when combined with other state and federal unemployment benefits.
However, as the economy has improved Congress has shortened the duration of the benefits. Now people can receive a maximum of 73 weeks of benefits where the unemployment rate is above 9%.
Mr. Sperling said if Congress passes the three-month extension then the White House is willing to have a conversation about how to handle and possibly offset the costs of the program for the remainder of 2014.
On Tuesday, President Obama will appear at the White House with people who have lost insurance benefits. The idea is to humanize the issue and thus pressure lawmakers to pass the legislation.
The president will talk about the toll that allowing unemployment benefits to expire has had on 1.3 million Americans, and he'll warn of the negative consequences for the broader American economy if Congress fails to act quickly on this urgent priority," a White House official said.

Teen Health
Mood-Altering Medications Not Overused in Teens
Dec. 3, 2012 -- Most teens with mental illnesses don't take medications for their conditions, a new survey finds.
The study contradicts reports of widespread and indiscriminate pill-popping in high schoolers. If anything, researchers say, many kids may not be getting enough help for real problems that are affecting their lives.
"The one thing that we heard over and over when we started this study was that parents are getting their kids prescriptions for stimulants so they can do better on the SATs," says researcher Kathleen Merikangas, PhD, chief of the genetic epidemiology branch in the intramural research program at the National Institute of Mental Health in Bethesda, Md.
But researchers, who questioned teens for the study, say they found no evidence of that trend.
"I was surprised that the rates were as low as they were. I thought the frequency of medication use was lower than we would have expected," Merikangas says.
She points out that not treating mental health problems in teens can often lead to serious problems. They include failing grades, disruptive or criminal behavior, substance abuse, and suicide.
"As a society, we need to think about access to care before all of these bad outcomes occur," Merikangas says.
Psychiatric Medications in Teens
Previous studies have relied on insurance claims to estimate rates of medication use in children and teens. Those studies have found sharp rises with psychiatrists prescribing to kids, especially poor children.
One 2006 study found that prescriptions of psychotropic drugs written to teens had shot up 250% between 1994 and 2001. It's not always clear from claims data why the drugs are prescribed or even if they're taken.
The new study, published in the Archives of Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine, took a different approach.
Researchers surveyed more than 10,000 teens in the U.S. who were between the ages of 13 and 18. The teens were carefully selected to reflect the makeup of the general population.
Researchers interviewed the teens at home and asked about any symptoms of mental problems in the past year that had been severe enough to affect their day-to-day functioning. When they reported taking medications, researchers had them produce the pill bottle so they could write down the drug name.

I heard an interesting interview this morning on Al Jezeera, and I apologize for not getting the name, but he is an academic and foreign policy expert at Cairo University who used to be in Washington until the fall of Mubarek allowed him to come home, and his name had lots of "als" and "Mahmuds" in it.
Anyway, he was commenting on a topic I had raised a few days ago–that the Syrian episode (he said in his mind since Obama never had the support of� Congress or the world for air strikes that this never rose to the level of "crisis) demonstrated a couple of interesting seismic shifts in global politics which Obama and the United States would be wise to think about. The first is the growing divide between Israel and the United States and how these countries react to Assad. He pointed out that the failure of the United States to take immediate action against Syria actually should scare Iran, not satisfy Iran because the United States has actually served as a safety valve against Israel taking immediate military action against Iran, and it now appears that the United States has less sway than previously thought. Equally, this situation demonstrated a growing divide between American Jews and Israeli Jews, a point I also made this week, that Israel is now very much a Middle Eastern country and not the European country it was even five years ago.
But this analyst was also commenting on the growing divide between the United States and Saudi Arabia, that the royal family really doesn't like what it has seen in Egypt, Lybia and Syria, and the American response to them. Let's face it–Saudi Arabia is one of the last remaining truly fascist countries in the world, and if you don't like Assad, you gotta dislike the Saudis, particularly now that their oil is less important to us. As the analyst was pointing out, we only call Saudi Arabia "Saudi" because of the name of the royal family, and if� you like Syria you are going to love civil war era Arabia. Will the United States abandon the bin Saud family in the name of democracy and the need to overturn tyrants.
The other point he was making was that Obama has been extremely disingenuous about American interests in Syria. The rebels are the ones truly involved in war crimes in Syria right now. Not only are the Alawites being attacked, but the rebels are making a serious and concerted effort to drive out Christians who have been in Syria for nearly 2000 years. Many of the refugees and internal displaced persons, are Christians, and it is quite likely that whatever emerges in Syria is going to be a whole lot less Christian that it used to be. Obama ignores the fact that Assad in some odd sort of way has become the defender of the Christian faith in Syria, and Obama's attack on Assad is costing Obama Christian support at home and abroad. As he noted, look at the ethnic Chaldoneans in Iraq, the Maronites in Lebanon, the Copts in Egypt. And now the Christians of Syria.
His final point was that the United States needs to seriously consider whether the UN is still relevant to American foreign policy.� If the Senate is going to ratify treaties, and those treaties are going to be enforced by collective security organizations, then the United States either has to be bound by those treaties or it needs to withdraw from them. The United States wants a permanent seat on the Security Council when the bad guy is Iran or Iraq, but it wants to ignore the Security Council other times. He also made some references to American wars going on in Honduras and Guyana which I guess I wasn't aware of and have to look into, but his point was that the United States has a lot of boots on the ground in wars where the US doesn't belong, so Syria is more along the lines of what has become typical,not what is aberrational.
Lots to think about.

Associated Press
CHICAGO -- Josh Thomson is hoping Benson Henderson has his sights on another title fight against Anthony Pettis.
Thomson, the veteran fighter from San Jose, will be squaring off with Henderson in a five-round lightweight bout as part of another network televised card at the United Center on Saturday night. The card starts at 5 p.m. PST and will be televised on Fox TV
Henderson (19-3), the former UFC lightweight champion, gave up the title after being submitted by Pettis' armbar at UFC 164. Henderson had a seven-fight winning streak going into the fight against Pettis which was the second longest in UFC lightweight history. Henderson's two of the three losses came against Pettis.
Henderson is aiming at a third fight against his rival with the belt on the line this summer if he can beat Thomson (20-5) on Saturday. Thomson appears to be just another fighter in Henderson's path to get to Pettis.
"He (Pettis) can stay injured for a year, stay hurt 'til July, two years, whatever. Every guy UFC would give a title shot to, send them my way. I'll go down the entire list of the top 10. I will beat everybody. Let's do that. When he is healthy, when he does come back then I'll be waiting," said Henderson.
Thomson, who at 35 is five years older than his opponent, doesn't think Henderson is looking past him.
"No, I don't think he does. I think he is a confident person. He was just the champion for the last two years. He would be a fool to underestimate me, which would be fine with me if he did," said Thomson
Thomson was supposed to get the first shot at Pettis on Dec. 14 but Pettis tore his PCL while training for the fight.
Henderson believes Thomson is looking for any motivation he can get for Saturday's fight.
"He's probably reached on that aspect. I know there are no easy fights in the UFC. He knows there are no easy fights in the UFC. If he chooses to think that, cool, no worries. Whatever you need to do to get yourself amped up, excited and ready to go, people do different things," said Henderson.
Thomson is coming off an impressive victory against Nate Diaz on April 20, 2013. He became the first fighter in Diaz's 25-fight career to finish him with strikes, landing a head kick in the second round that initially got him the fight against Pettis.
"I'm 35, if I win the title that's great. If I don't win the title that's great, too. I've had a great career. I was number one in the world back in 2003, 2004. I am ranked number four in the world now and it's in a way bigger scale now," said Thomson.
The card also features a three-round heavyweight fight featuring Stipe Miocic and Gabriel Gonzaga. Miocic (10-1) Miocic is coming off a dominating unanimous decision against Roy Nelson in UFC 161. He had one of the most dominating strike performances in UFC heavyweight history, landing 106 strikes to 23. Gonzaga (16-7), has finished all his victories, nine by knockout and seven by submission. He has only gone the distance once as a pro.
Donald Cerrone (21-6) is back in Chicago, a year after getting knocked out by Pettis in a lightweight fight. He will be fighting Adriano Martins from Brazil. Martins (25-6) won his only fight in the UFC. He beat Daron Cruickshank on Nov. 9, 2013.

On July 10, Boonville's Friends of the Library travelled to Warsaw to visit the new public library and meet with their counterparts to discuss fundraising activities. The seven members of the Boonville group hoped to learn what had or had not been successful for the Warsaw Library.
"We were particularly impressed with the meeting room at the Warsaw library, which provides an outside entrance and separate restroom and refreshment facilities, so that the room can be used by community groups even when the library isn't open," said Boonville Friends of the Library President Jane Lago.
In addition, children have a separate room in the library, with child-sized furniture and facilities, where they can read and play without disturbing other users. A grouping of computers outside the windows to this room allows parents to keep an eye on their kids while pursuing their own research.
Anyone potentially interested in helping support Boonville's library project can join the local Friends group. Memberships are $5 per year for students, $10 per year for individuals, and $15 per year for families. Additional information and membership forms are available at the Library.
"We are looking forward to the day when Boonville's library can offer similar assets for our own community. I don't think anyone can deny that the present library building is woefully inadequate for the services that the library provides," said Friends of the Library President, Jane Lago.

There has to be a different way to do this.
After decades of contentious BART labor negotiations that have left the transit agency with ridiculous work rules and unsustainable benefit costs, and without funds to properly maintain the system, we know what doesn't work.
We've seen this performance enough times. The unions' and the district's negotiators present opening positions; they try to compromise but fail; workers threaten to strike; and then political pressures lead to contracts divorced from financial reality.
Once again, we're in the opening act. The two largest unions, representing nearly three-fourths of BART workers, are reportedly asking for raises of roughly 23 percent over three years. Ludicrous.
Although the current contracts expire at the end of the month, we haven't yet gotten to the strike-threat scene. That probably comes in September.
But three employee groups -- representing middle managers, police officers and police managers -- have agreed to try something different: interest-based bargaining. The goal is to jointly find solutions that address both sides' concerns and the greater good of the organization.
We are under no illusions that this will be a panacea. We understand that the three labor groups represent a small minority of workers, and that the employees they represent are often higher paid.
But we were struck when talking with Jean Gomez, president of the union representing the midlevel managers, by the difference in tone. We weren't hearing from her the traditional posturing and the bad-mouthing of BART negotiators. Indeed, she was pleased to try this experiment and appreciative that General Manager Grace Crunican had asked her union to give it a try.
To be sure, her union and BART haven't started talking money yet. But Gomez, who's a financial analyst at BART, understands that the agency faces difficult financial hurdles. She says she's looking for a fair deal that also makes good business sense.
That's so refreshing to hear.
It's clear to us that BART must replace its aging fleet of train cars and its outdated control system, and it must deal with billions of dollars of deferred maintenance and repairs. If the district can't deliver reliable, safe, clean, on-time service, current ridership growth will taper off, and the agency will stall out financially.
Financial forecasts show the district doesn't have enough money to provide that service in the future. It can't continue to offer employees free pensions and health insurance for them and their families for just $92 a month. And it certainly can't afford to offer raises on top of that. It's time to change course.
To find a way to do that requires changing the rules of engagement. Gomez seems determined to make this bargaining experiment work. "We are making inroads and I am really proud of that," she said. "It has to start somewhere."

Mission: Can I Get Kelly Ripa's Body?
One writer's journey to find strength (and a thinner waistline?) through the celebrity-worshiped fitness workout, Physique 57
The workout starts with the arms, then moves to the thighs, rear, abs, then cool down. Why? Co-founder Tanya Becker says, "starting with the arms is a great way to warm the body up and raise your heart rate. The arms have smaller muscles so they may not burn as many calories," which is why minimal, yet effective, time should be spent on them to prep the body for a workout.
Once you make it to the thighs and butt, your body starts to torch calories, says Becker, as these are the largest muscles in the body. Through what seems like never-ending repetitions of leg lifts, plies, squats, standing splits, "playground" ball squeezes (more on this later) and so on, this "interval overload" combines strength and cardio together for a high intensity, calorie-blasting workout that fatigues the muscle groups completely before you get a short stretching break where the muscles get to chill out and lengthen.
The core muscles (or abs) are engaged "80 percent of the class," says Becker, and then get an extra burst of action at the end of class with all kinds of crunches and scissor kicks.
So, as a total newbie, am I even surviving through the arm warm ups, you wonder? Very. Good. Question.

Great job! Getting started is the hardest part and as long as you continue, it'll be easy to keep those good habits. Now I am inclined to look into the Physique 57 classes. There is not gym where I live that offers it, but perhaps I can find a DVD where I can try it at home. Nice work!

Researchers at the University of Utah found that adults who consume eight or more glasses of water each day burned significantly more calories than people who only drank four or less. WHY ISN'T THIS SHOUTED FROM THE ROOFTOPS???

First of all, the game is awesome. It's easy to learn, but more difficult to master, like all good games. I enjoy the equipment/equipment upgrade system, and the character selection is awesome.
Sadly, I don't get to play for any length of time without some manner of glitch. The chief among them is that, while I'm in the lobby, any given window (say, the one telling me '[I] need allies') might become stuck. I can't close it, and I can't go to the link it's trying to instruct me to go to. Most of the time, I could just reload the page and it'd fix itself temporarily, but as I'm writing this, I can't play the game at all because the aforementioned window is still stuck there despite refreshing the page.
I thought it might be that you didn't support Firefox, but when I switched to IE, the game didn't seem to load at all. Any thoughts?

Sage Francis
Human the Death Dance
By Vish Khanna
Rhode Islands Sage Francis has written his masterwork with Human the Death Dance, a moody, encapsulating record. The first hip-hop artist on Epitaph, Franciss debut for the label, 2005s A Healthy Distrust, was a politically charged assault that positioned him as a one-man Public Enemy. It was a departure for the MC, best known for his vulnerable, self-aware lyrics that combined humour, rage and sadness before launching from Franciss battle rhyme-winning tongue. The autobiographical style is back and Franciss penchant for welcoming many collaborators has yielded a sonically diverse record. Snippets of abstract conversation pepper the album cinematically and Growing Pains features recordings of Francis rapping throughout his childhood. This leads into self-help memoir Underground for Dummies, which finds Francis delving into his travails as a struggling, white hip-hop artist, a topic he generally avoids. Mr. Cooper lends a hot beat to get Francis racing on Civil Disobedience and Buck 65 drops a blues-y roots vibe, as Jolie Holland and Francis mingle on Got Up This Morning. Captivatingly dark and sharply funny, Francis is raw and open on the ingenious Human the Death Dance.
Is this record intentionally less political than the last?
A Healthy Distrust wasnt only post-9/11, it was post-election with a lot of social commentary trying to make sense of everything. It was aggressive and, with this one, I wanted to be more introspective and go back to a style Im best known for: just me delving into personal issues and making sense of that.
You rarely rap about being white. Why?
Its too easy; its not supposed to be a white rapper thing. Ive kept my picture off my product, as other [white] rappers did in the underground, where you assumed they were black. Its scary; you dont want people to like or not like you because youre white. I didnt want that to define me, or my art.
Your records are crazy eclectic
I think sometimes I tend to overdo it; I should probably just chill and not try to overload it with every side of my personality. I like these albums to be photo albums of me that show all the things I think under different moods. I think this is the last time I do this mix-tape-style of album; I want this to be closure on the styles Ive presented and go off in a totally new way. (Epitaph)

Megan Hilty Celebrates the Holidays and New Season of 'Smash'
Megan Hilty, Broadway veteran and star of NBC's musical drama "Smash," kicked off the holiday season Tuesday as part of the Lord & Taylor holiday window unveiling.
Perched on a stage on the edge of Fifth Avenue in New York, outside of the department store's flagship location, Hilty sang "The Most Wonderful Time of the Year" followed by what she says is her favorite holiday carol, "The Christmas Song." Before Hilty's performance, the Young People's Chorus of New York City sang several holiday tunes. Meanwhile, waiters in Nordic sweaters served hot chocolate and Santa Claus mingled with the crowd.
Afterwards, Hilty, clad in a maroon Monique Lhuillier dress, took a few minutes to talk about her show and her favorite holiday tradition.
'Smash' returns in February. What can we expect this season?
There are a lot of changes and there are some new characters which add a whole new plot. There's a lot happening in "Smash" this season. And Ivy [her character on the show] is making a lot of personal and professional changes in her life, but she's still Ivy.
How has it been to be on a television show versus a Broadway stage?
It's great. I love both so much, I feel so lucky to be able to do a job that combines the two of them. So it's great. I miss live audiences, but every once in awhile we get to do that on "Smash."
Speaking of live audiences, you just performed literally on Fifth Avenue. What was that like?
It was awesome. It was such an honor to be a part of the celebration. I certainly come every year to see what the windows are going to be dressed like. And to be a part of that is such an honor—especially on their 75th anniversary—it's a little surreal.
Do you have a favorite holiday tradition?
The only thing that I've kept up for myself is collecting Swarovski crystal ornaments every year. My mom always collects the Waterford ones so I wanted to kind of follow in her footsteps. So that's my little tradition—that and cooking way too much food.
We're heading into holiday party season. How would you describe your style?
I just try to stay true to me instead of following too many trends. I don't take too many risks. I have a very classic style, I think, and I just kind of stick to that.

Q Oh mighty mediator of the macadam, I have a question troubling me. Recently I was returning to Hollister from Vallejo on Interstate 680. When I came to the rich people's lane -- the toll lane -- the signs said "open to all." I thought that was mighty generous of the rich folk to share their lane with us po' folk. After all, they built it.
But while I was enjoying life in the rich people's lane a sudden fear crept over me. Do I have to follow the rich folk's etiquette and only enter and leave at designated points or can I just enter and leave at my whim provided it is safe to do so? Please help me. I don't want to appear like an uneducated yokel.
Stephen Mills
A Po' you. Yes, you have to follow the rules that allow exiting or entering the toll lanes only at specific locations. The "open to all" message means no tolls are being charged -- that's from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. weekdays and on weekends.
Q We recently drove through the new Highway 1 tunnel at Devils Slide. Before entering there is a neon sign saying "Tunnel Open" and as we entered and a bit further another sign saying "Tunnel Open" and still a bit further another sign saying "Tunnel Open." Is there a significant reason for three signs? If the sign should say "Tunnel Closed" when we are driving through, should we stop or speed up to get out?
Pat Saunders
Daly City
A Caltrans says the first sign is needed to alert drivers of the tunnel ahead, as there are sight-distance considerations. And the signs inside the tunnel work in conjunction with overhead message signs to give drivers emergency instructions if needed. The signs can also alert drivers to slow down or stop.
Q I'm writing to you again about Dumbarton Bridge traffic, where the flow of traffic has been horrible past the toll plaza for the past week or so. Several of my Peninsula commuting friends and I have noticed a Menlo Park police car parked by the utility plant at the end of the bridge. I'm beginning to think that some curious bridge commuters are rubbernecking to see this police car.
Do you think it's making them paranoid enough to slow the normal flow of traffic? Maybe it could be the timing of the lights at University or Willow? Please check into this issue and let me and my friends know if this will be resolved soon.
Lisa Ynzunza
A The signals at Willow and Bayfront Expressway have been adjusted to help speed up traffic, but a cop car parked on the side of the road can bring the commute to a crawl. A Caltrans engineer thinks there is another reason: the opening of the Facebook campus.
Q Any idea when the new Butterfield Boulevard extension and connection to Monterey Highway in Morgan Hill is going to open? The website says December 2012 and the Morgan Hill Times said December 2013, but it looks like it is almost done.
Dennis Cole
A It is. The road could open Saturday. Enjoy.
Q Do you have any info about what's going on with the Cottle Road exit from Highway 85 north? The exit lane has been significantly reduced in width by newly placed concrete dividers, and it looks like some future lane work might be coming.
But no real work seems to have occurred since this exit lane was changed a few weeks ago. In the meantime, we get funneled into this narrow makeshift lane, which has a nice left-hand sewer gutter that we all get to pass over (or into) now.

A The nearby Hitachi development has required modifications to the Cottle-85 interchange. This will include a new diagonal northbound offramp and a northbound loop onramp. The northbound loop offramp will be removed but the existing northbound onramp will remain.
Another highway improvement is occurring at the southbound offramp to Great Oaks Boulevard, which will be widened.
Both projects are expected to be completed by the end of the year. Go to http://sjdistrict2.com for more information.
Q When is San Jose going to finish the work at Tully and White roads? They started resurfacing the intersection late last year but left off re-striping the crosswalks.

A This section should get a slurry seal or preventive maintenance treatment in another week or two.
