My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Definition of tavern in English:
nounchiefly archaic or North American
- A four-hour course and a booklet are being offered to restaurants, bars, taverns and sundry drinking establishments as of September.
- Lynn sighed, and followed her, while Pip headed towards another tavern to find a drink.
- The third supervises the tavern and the food and drink being served by her husbands.
Middle English: from Old French taverne, from Latin taberna 'hut, tavern'. Compare with tabernacle.
inn from Old English:
An inn was originally any dwelling place or lodging. The word is related to in—an inn is a place you live or stay in. Medieval translators used it for Latin hospitium, meaning 'a residence for students'. This survives in the Inns of Court in London, the buildings of the four legal societies with the exclusive right of admitting people to the English bar. The usual modern sense of 'a public house' dates from the late Middle Ages—an inn specialized in providing accommodation and refreshment for travellers, as opposed to a tavern [ME, from Latin taberna], which was just for drinking. Inmate (late 16th century) was probably originally an 'inn mate' and was initially a person who shared a house, specifically a lodger or subtenant. In the 16th and 17th centuries there were strict by-laws about harbouring poor people as inmates: this was a practice that caused the number of local paupers to increase.

JBoss Developer : All Content - Scribble Development All Content in Scribble Development https://developer.jboss.org/community/scribble/dev Jive Engage 2011-04-12T21:47:58Z 2011-04-12T21:47:58Z en Implementing the new choice syntax Olivier Pernet /people/perneto firstname.lastname@example.com 2011-04-13T08:45:06Z 2011-04-12T21:47:58Z

I think we've made enough progress on the theory side with Nobuko that implementation of the new choice can start.

Gary, how do you want to do this? Maybe you can get started with the grammar changes, etc. and I can do projection after that?

You might want to add the "introduces" keyword while you're changing the grammar, too.

 2011-04-12T21:47:58Z 5 years 5 months ago 3 0 How do you pronounce SPR? Matthew Rawlings /people/rawlings email@example.com 2011-03-27T17:56:11Z 2011-03-27T13:54:09Z

What does SPR, the protocol file extension represent? How should it be pronounced?

On OSX the file extension associates with "Unix Executable File", on Windows it associates with FoxPro amongst other things. Is this IANA registered as an Internet Media Type?

 2011-03-27T13:54:09Z 5 years 5 months ago 1 0 Moving code to git Gary Brown /people/objectiser firstname.lastname@example.com 2011-03-25T16:02:19Z 2011-03-01T00:09:03Z

A number of jboss.org projects have moved from svn to git (generally hosted at github), due to the benefits that can be obtained from using a distributed version control system.

Its possible this could benefit the Scribble project, in that it could more easily allow different research groups to maintain their own forks, without having to necessarily (1) provide changes through patches, or (2) sign a contributor agreement and be given commit rights to the svn repository.

As the work of these separate groups mature, it can be pushed back to the master repository to become part of the main distribution.

I don't have a great deal of experience using git at the moment, but recently migrated the Savara (version 2) codebase to github. So this change does not necessarily have to be considered at the moment - but as Scribble will integrate into Savara and also as part of JBoss Tools, and both of these projects are now hosted on github, it may be a good idea.

One issue is the tooling for git is not as well established as svn - however the merging capabilities are apparently significantly better.

Thoughts?

 2011-03-01T00:09:03Z 5 years 5 months ago 5 0 Model simplification by removing current conformance checking implementation Gary Brown /people/objectiser email@example.com 2011-02-22T18:07:46Z 2011-02-21T21:32:28Z

The current trunk has a conformance checking algorithm from the original scribble prototype, which hasn't proved to be a general enough solution. It was useful for demonstrating the potential of using conformance checking, between various different representations (e.g. CDL and BPEL), within an Eclipse environment.

Therefore I intend to remove the current implementation, and some of its impact on the protocol model, to help simplify the model.

For example, SinglePathBehaviour and MultiPathBehaviour were introduced when scribble was expected to be a multi-level language - and possibly extensible - to allow additional single and multi-path constructs to be added, and for the conformance checking algorithm to be able to cater for them. Now that the protocol notation is fixed, it is not necessary to represent such generic concepts. This also means that some of the properties associated with these classes can be removed from the derived types.

Any objections, let me know.

 2011-02-21T21:32:28Z 5 years 6 months ago 2 0 Coding conventions Olivier Pernet /people/perneto email@example.com 2011-02-18T16:08:15Z 2011-02-18T15:36:48Z

I've noticed you don't use an import statement for java.util, and instead repeat the full names of classes/interfaces like java.util.List.

Do you mind if I change that on the classes I'm editing?

Also, why do you use parenthesises around returned expressions in return statements?

 2011-02-18T15:36:48Z 5 years 6 months ago 2 0 Code duplication in ProtocolProjectorTest / running tests in an IDE Olivier Pernet /people/perneto email@example.com 2011-02-18T15:25:19Z 2011-02-13T18:18:41Z

I'm adding a few more tests to the CTK, and I've noticed there is a lot of code duplication in ProtocolProjectorTest. Is this on purpose? I know some people prefer making test code as obvious as possible, even if that means a lot of copy-paste.

Another related question: how do you run the tests in an IDE? They're looking for the Scribble files using System.getSystemResourceAsStream, which doesn't work in my IDE. I've been changing the code to a FileInputStream while I run the tests, but I always need to change it back to make the tests work in Maven.

 2011-02-13T18:18:41Z 5 years 6 months ago 14 0 What is the rationale for having many model-related methods throw exceptions on error, and return null instead? Olivier Pernet /people/perneto email@example.com 2011-02-15T22:48:12Z 2011-02-15T19:27:18Z

Examples include ProtocolParser.parse and ProtocolProjector.project.

 2011-02-15T19:27:18Z 5 years 6 months ago 4 0 Felix jar pulled as a dependency Olivier Pernet /people/perneto email@example.com 2011-02-10T15:36:07Z 2011-02-10T15:20:36Z

Is this normal? Why does Scribble depend on Felix and not just the OSGi API?

 2011-02-10T15:20:36Z 5 years 7 months ago 1 0 ProtocolModelProjectorRule change in rev 435 Olivier Pernet /people/perneto email@example.com 2011-02-10T13:51:28Z 2011-02-09T02:06:53Z

I just noticed that a recent change to the project method in ProtocolModelProjectorRule makes it ignore the model parameter for projection (except from pulling imports from it), and instead projects the protocol attached to the Role instance given as a parameter.

What is the reason for the change? I find it quite confusing, and possibly incorrect (what if the Role instance comes from a different protocol? Then we end up projecting another, different model).

It also makes it harder to use project() programmatically, as this forbids callers from just creating a Role instance and passing it in.

Thats good news - would like to take a look, its just finding the time at

the moment. However let me know your thoughts on how we could like you

project in on the scribble project website, as it would be good to capture

related projects.

 If it passes the tests then should be ok to commit. However have you used

 the qa profile, as this runs more tests:

 mvn clean install -Pqa

 The docs are built in another profile, so to do a complete test and docs

 build, you use:

 mvn clean install -Pqa,docs

I'm having problems with the docs:

 The implementation is in bundles/org.scribble.protocol.projection - I think

 it covers most use cases, but would be worth a review. Would be good to add

 further test cases (in the org.scribble.protocol.ctk bundle) to outline any

 scenarios not handled, and then if you have the time, extend the

 implementation to handle them.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Referee Bill Leavy confirmed after the 49ers' 34-28 win Sunday that a third-down play was incorrectly granted to the 49ers following a sideline fracas.
The 49ers should have faced fourth-and-2 from the Packers' 6-yard line after Colin Kaepernick's 4-yard scramble, after which he was tackled by Clay Matthews out of bounds. Matthews drew a late-hit penalty for his actions, but that was offset by Joe Staley's unsportsmanlike-conduct penalty.
Officials spotted the ball back at the 10-yard line and ordered a third-and-6 situation to be played again. Subsequently, Kaepernick found Anquan Boldin for a 10-yard touchdown pass and 14-7 lead.
Leavy said afterward: "The down should have counted. The penalties were both dead ball, and they should have offset at the spot where the runner went out of bounds. And it would have been fourth down."
Coach Jim Harbaugh disagreed with the officials' penalization of Staley.
"Joe did what we coach him to do: when someone takes a cheap shot, we teach them to lock up," Harbaugh said. "He did that and Matthews throws two punches at him.
"Officials had their explanation ... for them to be offsetting penalties. I didn't see it that way."
The 49ers were penalized 11 times for 85 yards; the Packers five times for 44 yards.
Kaepernick didn't seem to mind the Packers' aggressive tactics, stating: "If intimidation is your game plan, I hope you have a better one."

The Wood Ranch was heavily used by the Chumash Indians. One site, now buried to protect it from vandalism, was occupied seasonally for over 4,000 years. Another site is thought to have been used several thousand years ago. Some very significant ceremonial sites have been identified on the old ranch.
During the Mexican period of settlement, the area where the golf course is today was known as Canada Verde, i.e., "green canyon". Later Anglo-American settlers referred to the area as "the Verde". The bottomland was green throughout the year because of the high water table. Mt. McCoy was then known as Verde Hill. (Verde Hill was part of the ranch held by C.B. McCoy and was part of what was referred to as the Verde.) Long Canyon is shown on the Stow and Power survey of 1887-1888 as Canada de la Leha. Leha does not seem to have any meaning in Spanish and may, therefore, be an error in recording or in printing. Lena, for example, would render the phrase as "firewood canyon" - a name that would fit oak canyon as a source of fuel wood.
An old Indian trail seems to have run along the western margins of the Wood Ranch extending through the saddle southwestward into what is now the City of Thousand Oaks. That trail was apparently referred to by the Indians as the Simi' Trail, because it was the route between the Conejo Valley and the Chumash village of Simi'. It continued to be used as a route during the Spanish and Mexican periods and was referred to as the "Simi Road" during the early Anglo-American Period. The 1861 federal survey of El Rancho Simi shows the "Conejo and Simi Road in Puento". In other words, the Conejo and Simi Road was present in the pass described above.
Wood Ranch, which comprised more than 4,000 acres and included the area now occupied by Mt. McCoy and the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, was acquired by C.B. McCoy from the Simi Land and Water Company. Eventually it passed into the hands of the Wood family, which named it "Rancho Madera" (madera means "wood" in Spanish). Later, it simply was referred to as the Wood Ranch. (I remember well the wrought iron entryway into the rancho with "Rancho Madera" overhead.) The names Long, Sycamore and Oak canyons seem simply to be descriptive and appear on the U.S. Geological Survey maps. Montgomery Canyon is certainly named for the Montomery family, which owned the Montgomery Ranch to the north and east of the eastern portion of Wood Ranch.

Amazon is apparently working on a plan that would see the company build its own smartphone that it would offer to customers for free.
The information comes from a report by former Wall Street Journal reporter Jessica Lessin, who spoke with anonymous sources familiar with the plans. However, speculation about Amazon developing a low-cost, branded smartphone has been around for a while, as VentureBeat's Devindra Hardwar pointed out previously.
Amazon also doesn't want customers to be required to sign up for a wireless service plan when they purchase the smartphone, according to Lessin's sources. That could mean that the phone will be positioned as a prepaid product that potentially uses its own wireless network. Amazon was previously rumored to be testing a wireless service using spectrum from satellite company Globalstar.
At this point, none of the information has been confirmed by Amazon. We're reaching out to the company and other sources for more information and will update the post with any new info.

T.S. Eliot
T.S. Eliot: Tradition and The Waste Land
In 1917, the literary journal Egoist (where Eliot served as an assistant editor) published an essay of his entitled "Tradition and the Individual Talent." Eliot's manifesto railed against the modern tendency to praise a poet's attempts to be different for the sake of being different. Only by recognizing the poetic traditions he drew upon and suppressing his personal desires, Eliot argued, could a poet truly achieve greatness. (And, yes, Eliot assumed that any great poet would be male.) He elaborated:
We shall often find that not only the best, but the most individual parts of [a poet's] work may be those in which the dead poets, his ancestors, assert their immortality most vigorously. What happens is a continual surrender of himself as he is at the moment to something which is more valuable. The progress of an artist is a continual self-sacrifice, a continual extinction of personality. […] The more perfect the artist, the more completely separate in him will be the man who suffers and the mind which creates.7
Eliot's essay was interesting for two reasons in particular. First, Eliot was coming into his own as a poet at the same time that an Austrian psychiatrist named Sigmund Freud introduced the idea that there was something to be gained by plunging deep into the inner sanctums of the self. Eliot's essay disputed Freud's argument, valuing the collective unconscious over the individual subconscious. Though the two men held completely separate viewpoints, both of their ideas came to dominate their age. "In [Freud's] opinion there must be sought a collective and individual balance, which should constantly take into account man's primitive instincts," a member of the Swedish Academy said when Eliot received the Nobel Prize for literature in 1948. "You, Mr. Eliot, are of the opposite opinion. For you the salvation of man lies in the preservation of the cultural tradition, which, in our more mature years, lives with greater vigour within us than does primitiveness, and which we must preserve if chaos is to be avoided."
The second reason we find Eliot's emphasis on tradition interesting is that he was about to write one of the most unique, unprecedented poems in the history of the English language.
By 1921, stuck in a boring bank job and an unhappy marriage, Eliot had a bit of a mental breakdown. As he took leave from Lloyds Bank to recover, he began to reflect on the desolation of post-war European culture. He saw it as a spiritually empty society that had veered too far away from its traditions. It was a level of despair without precedent, and to address it Eliot had to write a poem unlike any other that came before it. In 1922, Eliot founded a literary journal called Criterion, and in its first issue he published the result of his efforts—The Waste Land.
The Waste Land was a five-part epic that journeyed through a ruined and desolate world. With its starkly beautiful language, the poem was—and still is—an overwhelming experience to read. "The Waste Land is easier on the ear than on the mind,"8 Time magazine wrote in 1950. That was putting it mildly. In its 434 lines, the poem wandered into different languages, obscure references, and a cascading riot of images. Some people tossed it aside as too obscure, accusing Eliot of being intentionally confusing ("How better to identify yourself as a serious poet than to be incomprehensible?"9 writer Garrison Keillor said of Eliot many years later).
Once again, though, a generation of poets who understood the alienation and horror that Eliot was talking about embraced the epic poem as a masterpiece. Permanent Secretary of the Swedish Academy, Anders Osterling, spoke of the poem's indelible impact at Eliot's Nobel ceremony: "The Waste Land now lies a quarter of a century back in time, but unfortunately it has proved that its catastrophic visions still have undiminished actuality in the shadow of the atomic age. The horror vacui of modern man in a secularized world, without order, meaning, or beauty, here stands out with poignant sincerity."10

When people think of bees, they don't always think of the contribution they make outside of honey and stings.
"Estimates vary, but sometimes they say that one out of every three mouthfuls is pollinated, some people say two out of every three bites, are pollinated. I mean our lives would be hugely different if we lose the pollinators," said Dr. Gary McCallister,
a biology professor at Colorado Mesa University.
In the Grand Valley, bee hives are placed in a variety of fruit orchards from plum to the famed Palisade peach. Famers get an improved yield, and beekeepers get honey with slightly different tastes.
"There're so many different flavors of honey, by the location where you put your bees. But each one has a distinct flavor," said Anthony Fronczek.
McCallister and Fronczek are both beekeepers with hives throughout the Grand Valley. They also teach beekeeping to just about anyone who is interested.
"Absolutely. Get with a beekeeper," said Fronczek.
Fronczek can be found on Facebook under Horse Thief Mesa.

Fifty years ago this month, at the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his famous "I have a dream" speech, in which he laid out his vision of equality and asserted his absolute commitment to a nonviolent approach to confronting racism, poverty, and militarism.
Now, a half century later, we find ourselves saddled by unemployment, mounting debt, and suffering from wars and a bloated Pentagon budget. Although we have made progress, much of the dream is yet unrealized and freedoms that were gained through the civil rights movement are threatened.
The recent Supreme Court decision on the Voting Rights Act and the outcome of the Trayvon Martin case are just two examples of how far we have to go to end racism and achieve full justice and equality for all.
We stand in solidarity with the 50th anniversary rally in Washington on Aug. 24, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Lincoln Memorial. We are marking this anniversary by pledging to continue to work for peace and justice. "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter," Martin Luther King said.

Parking will become scarce in Bronxville as the Kensington Road condominium project gets underway, but the village's mayor and Board of Trustees are looking into ways to remedy the situation.
Once construction of the 54-unit condo begins, which is scheduled to start as early as June 15, 179 parking spaces in the Lower Kensington lot, which comprises 12 percent of the entire 1,479 spots in the village, will be inaccessible during the 24-to-27-month period of construction.
The loss of parking will displace residents, commuters and merchants, making parking in the village as difficult as city commuters trying to find a seat on the subway during rush hour.
"It's going to be tough because all those people in the lot are going to be displaced," Peggy Conway, Bronxville's deputy treasurer who has taken a lead role in village parking issues, said. "But it's going to have a great ending with a beautiful, underground parking lot with 300 parking spaces."
The 300 parking spaces Conway referenced are part of Bronxville's Kensington Road contract with Greenwich-based developer Fareri Associates to build an underground parking garage in addition to the condos.
Of the 300 parking spots, 200 will be owned by the village, but the parking displacement in the interim while construction is going on is the issue at hand for Bronxville.
Conway said the village's first priority is making sure the 78 residents who rent reserved, 24-hour parking spaces have a place to park that will still be close to their homes, and the village is turning to the state for help.
New York State law does not allow municipalities to limit parking on public streets to residents only, but does allow for municipalities to apply for hardship relief through the state Legislature, which would allow the municipalities to do just that.
Garth Road in Eastchester is an example of an area that reserves public streets for residents, but, unlike Garth Road, Bronxville is applying for a temporary parking hardship, which would only be in place during construction.
The proposed law was brought before the state Senate and Assembly by Democratic legislators George Latimer, of Rye, and Amy Paulin, of Scarsdale, respectively.
The bill has to go through committees in both houses and then to the floor of each house for a final vote.
While Andrew Buder, Paulin's legislative aide, couldn't predict a timeline, he foresees the bill passing.
Once the bill passes in Albany, it comes back to Bronxville, where the village Board of Trustees will host an open meeting to discuss the new law and allow for public comment. This will be done prior to the board voting on any resolution to pass the law.
Replacing those 179 lost spots in the village is one challenge; replacing the revenue those spots create is a second challenge.
According to Robert Fels, Bronxville's treasurer, the loss of the 179 spots is equivalent to a loss of $242,000 in annual revenue due to missed permit fees and parking meters. That number shrinks to an estimated loss of $139,000 in revenue when revenue from the 78 residents, which would be given street parking if the bill passes, is taken into account.
During the March 19 Bronxville Board of Trustees budget meeting, suggestions about how to recover the loss of revenue and find parking for the merchants and commuters was tossed around the table.
One suggestion was to lower the parking permit fees for merchants that park in the Garden Avenue lot from $1,200 to $900 per year to match what merchants are paying for the Kensington lot. The thought was to try to encourage merchants to park in the Garden Avenue lot.
As the Garden Avenue parking lot is currently situated, 70 spaces are reserved for merchants and approximately 70 spaces for the public. There was also a suggestion to study the lot to see if the village can re-designate some of the public spaces to merchant spaces.
By lowering the Garden Avenue permit fee for merchants, the village would be able to make up for some of the lost $139,000 in revenue, which is a projection that assumes the village will not make any money from merchant parking.
As for commuters displaced by the Kensington Road construction, the suggestion is to move them to the Kraft Avenue parking lot, which typically has vacant spots.
Congestion and parking will become an increasingly difficult situation to navigate through in the coming months, in which the village will deal with five other projects either underway, about to begin or in the works.
Lawrence Hospital is in the process of building a $34 million addition to its facility; a $5.5 million village-wide flood mitigation project starts this year; the Bronxville School auditorium construction work is underway and there is a plan to turn 100 Pondfield Road, currently a four-story moving and storage building, into a renovated apartment building. That project will be sent to the village Planning Board in a couple of months.
All of this work will bring increased traffic and a need for parking.
In terms of Kensington Road, Conway said the contractor will be responsible for finding parking for the construction vehicles and workers, which will eventually require overflow parking. Conway said the village will help the developer as much as they can, but the burden is on the developer to find parking.
Mayor Mary Marvin, a Republican, could not be reached for comment as of press time.

No one was inside when the fire started.
Firefighters said it appears the fire started in a back bedroom.
Authorities said that the family who lives in the house will have to find another place to stay because of smoke and water damage.

I'm not 100% sure if this is a good thing or not, but hopefully the threat of decertification will lead to the owners upping their offer tomorrow. From what I've been led to believe if the players decertify from the union, things then get messy and there won't be any quick resolution (thus no basketball any time soon). Again hopefully simply the threat helps get a deal done. Paul Pierce is due a lot of money this season and he doesn't have that many left, so like KG a few weeks ago, he's fighting more for the young players in the league, even if it hurts him more financially. The pity of all this is the players simply want to play ball and have made tremendous concessions to the owners. The owners just need to accept their win already and stop going for the mercy rule.JR 11/04/2011 06:08:00 AM Tweet Edit

In the NFL lockout the players union decertified and everything turned out fine. There was just a long grueling (but way faster than it would normally take) court process where a judge had to rule whether or not the lockout was legal, and she said it wasn't so there was going to be football, then some other judges in like Minnesota were like fudge that we're going to have a lockout. Of course, this all started in March and then the lockout was over in July.
So yeah, if the union decertifies there won't be a season.
well said. Ray + Paul + Dwight #foreshadowing

Hoyer Slams Perry's Proposal for Part-Time Congress
Rep. Steny Hoyer (D., Md.), the second-ranking Democrat in the House, reacted angrily Tuesday to the suggestion by Texas Gov. Rick Perry that Congress become a part-time institution.
"Is this a serious proposal he's making for a country that has very high unemployment, who's budget deficit is larger than it's ever been in history, which has two wars that we're confronting and trying to bring to a conclusion?" Mr. Hoyer said of the Republican presidential hopeful.
"If this is what he thinks is pandering to the Tea Party, it is not in my opinion speaking to the issues that the American public feels are very, very critical to them, jobs being the number one issue," Mr. Hoyer said. "So I don't think it's a very serious effort on his part."
In a speech Tuesday in Bettendorf, Iowa, Mr. Perry outlined his plan to overhaul the federal government.
"I do not believe Washington needs a new coat of paint, it needs a complete overhaul," he said. "We need to uproot, tear down and rebuild Washington, D.C., and our federal institutions." Mr. Perry's plan for Congress? "It's time to create a part-time Congress where their pay is cut in half, their office budgets are cut in half, and their time in Washington is cut in half."
Mr. Perry is also proposing limiting Supreme Court justices, who now serve lifetime tenures, to 18 years on the job.
Despite his vigorous response, Mr. Hoyer agreed that Congress is not doing a great job.
" I don't mean that people are happy with Congress; I'm not happy with Congress," Mr. Hoyer said. "We're at about 8% favorability, we're up to 13%. That means there are 87% who know what's going on, and the other 13 haven't learned how poorly we're doing."

Prevention of relapse in generalized anxiety disorder by escitalopram treatment
Escitalopram has demonstrated a robust and dose-dependent efficacy in the treatment of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) for up to 3 months. In the present study, the efficacy and tolerability of escitalopram in the prevention of relapse in GAD was investigated. A total of 491 patients with a primary diagnosis of GAD and a Hamilton Anxiety (HAMA) total score [gt-or-equal, slanted]20 received 12 wk of open-label treatment with a fixed dose of escitalopram (20 mg/d). Of these, 375 patients responded (HAMA total score [less-than-or-eq, slant]10) and were randomized to double-blind treatment with 20 mg/d escitalopram (n=187) or placebo (n=188). Treatment was continued for 24–76 wk unless the patient relapsed or was withdrawn for other reasons. Relapse was defined as either an increase in HAMA total score to [gt-or-equal, slanted]15, or lack of efficacy, as judged by the investigator. The results of the primary analysis showed a clear beneficial effect of escitalopram relative to placebo on the time to relapse of GAD (log-rank test, p<0.001). The risk of relapse was 4.04 times higher for placebo-treated patients than for escitalopram-treated patients; the proportion of patients who relapsed was statistically significantly higher in the placebo group (56%) than in the escitalopram group (19%) (p<0.001). Escitalopram was well tolerated and 7% of the escitalopram-treated patients withdrew due to adverse events, vs. 8% of the placebo patients. The incidence of discontinuation symptoms with escitalopram during tapered withdrawal was low; the symptoms primarily being dizziness (10–12%), nervousness (2–6%), and insomnia (2–6%). Escitalopram 20 mg/d significantly reduced the risk of relapse and was well tolerated in patients with GAD.(Received April 19 2005)
