Facing them was a stand full of generals and colonels, the US ambassador to Japan, Walter Mondale, and 75 elderly veterans of the Okinawan campaign, in whose honour the ceremony is being held.
But few Japanese were present. This week is the 50th anniversary of the end of the Battle of Okinawa, the last and bloodiest of the Pacific War, which Japan has tried in vain to forget. On the morning of 23 June 1945 Commanding General Mitsuru Ushijima and, his chief of staff, Lieutenant General Isamu Cho, committed ritual suicide at the mouth of the cave that was their headquarters.
Fifty years later, the Japanese Prime Minister, Tomiichi Murayama, Mr Mondale, and several thousand veterans of the war - American and Japanese - will gather in a nearby park to dedicate the Cornerstone of Peace, a collection of tablets bearing the names of 200,000 people who died in the three-month battle.
It will be the first time veterans from both sides will come together for single ceremony. Their meeting will no doubt go smoothly. But it has been fraught with tension.
The conflict arises from an unresolved question: what is the point of this week's commemorations in Okinawa? To the US military, it is the celebration of a costly victory, the prelude to Japan's capitulation on 15 August. To Mr Murayama it is a chance to make up for the mealy-mouthed "apology" for Japanese aggression which he squeezed out of the Japanese Diet last month. To the people of Okinawa, it is the anniversary of a great tragedy.
Okinawa, "the keystone of the Pacific", was the last stronghold of Japanese resistance before the invasion of the Japanese mainland. Some 182,000 troops, supported by aircraft-carriers and battleships, began the invasion on 1 April. At landing points like Torii Beach, they met little resistance. The 100,000-strong Imperial Army had holed up in pillboxes and caves in the south of the island, connected by defensive tunnels. Local people were conscripted to fight, and inculcated with propaganda about the consequences of capture by the enemy. In one incident, 250 student nurses, the Hineyuri or "Princess Lily" brigade, blew themselves up rather than submit to the marines. The Cornerstone of Peace bears the names of 14,000 US soldiers, sailors and marines, and 73,000 Japanese servicemen. But the largest group by far is Okinawan civilians - 147,110, almost half the islands' population.
Among the survivors, feelings for the armed forces are not warm. "It's understandable," says Colonel Walter Ford, Chief of Staff of the 3rd Marine Division on Okinawa. "When our marines come out here we tell all of them Okinawans are not anti-American, they are anti-military." The islands contain the biggest US military presence in Asia. About 20 per cent of the main island is taken up by US bases. The island's governor, Masahide Ota, has called for the reduction of the military presence, and polls show most Okinawans support him.
When the plans were laid for the Cornerstone of Peace, it was decided that it would be a civilian memorial. No ranks are indicated. The dead are recorded by name and country of origin. When army representatives were invited to today's ceremony, it was on condition that they attend in civilian clothes.
The US Army has been remembering a decisive victory. But Okinawa was just the stepping-stone to the invasion of the Japanese mainland. The ferocity encountered by the invading forces became an argument for the use of atomic bombs two months later on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. These anniversaries lie ahead. If the Okinawa commemorations are anything to go by, they are also likely to be complicated by the politics of remembrance.

United States Media: Colleen Applebaugh (978) 750-2763 firstname.lastname@example.com
Philadelphia and Danvers, Mass. (May 17, 2011) – Known for bringing to market innovative and industry leading lighting technology and solutions, OSRAM SYLVANIA will continue to demonstrate its advancements in the line of ELOGIC™ Lighting Controls at LIGHTFAIR International (LFI) this week with the addition of wireless dimming control technology. The new solution includes dimmable fluorescent ballast controls as well as dimmable LED power supply controls. The ELOGIC family of controls provides added energy savings, preference control and optimization for lighting systems across a variety of applications including office, hospitality, commercial and residential.
This innovative wireless dimmer technology from OSRAM SYLVANIA stems from the company's work with the EnOcean Alliance, a consortium of companies working to standardize and internationalize energy harvesting wireless technology for green intelligent buildings. Quickly becoming the industry standard for both new and retrofit green intelligent buildings, EnOcean's miniaturized energy harvesting modules feature ultra low power radio technology that is highly attractive to OEMs developing wireless sensors and switches used to improve the energy efficiency of commercial facilities significantly.
With the ELOGIC family, OSRAM SYLVANIA is leveraging lighting controls to increase flexibility in lighting systems and provide simple installation and increased energy efficiency. Since no extra wiring is necessary, designers, contractors and architects save both time and money installing wireless dimming technology while simultaneously eliminating the need for environmentally unfriendly batteries. With self-powering energy harvesting sensors and switches, the historic reliance on battery powered systems can be eliminated altogether and the dimming functionality of these controls can also help reduce overall energy consumption.
The dimmable fluorescent ballast and LED power supply controls can both be addressed using OSRAM SYLVANIA's wireless and battery-free single and dual rocker switches that have both manual ON/OFF switches as well as automatic OFF functionality. Once installed, their wireless nature affords increased flexibility for reconfiguration, as switches may be relocated without rerouting any wiring.
SYLVANIA Light Management Systems and ELOGIC Lighting Controls help to manage light levels and provide energy and cost savings for lighting systems using LED, HID, fluorescent or any other lighting technology. Further, SYLVANIA Light Management Systems provide preference control and flexibility to optimize lighting systems to their fullest potential.

Hey guys and welcome to another of my reviews. Today we are looking at the Colt M1911, which was a standard issue sidearm used by the United States Of America. It has appear in many global conflicts such as World War I and II, Korean War, Vietnam War, Iraq War and in Afghanistan. It was used in service between 1911 and 1985 and it is still being used by some US forces today.
Parts List
Green Rods - 87
White Rods - 28
White Connectors - 12
Yellow Connectors - 18
Red Connectors - 2
Light Grey Connectors - 2
Dark Grey Connectors - 15
Orange Connectors - 24
Tan Connectors (with the little tab cut off) - 5
Y Shape Black Connector - 21
Black Socket End - 2
3.1cm cut Rods - 1
Red Connectors (cut) - 1
Yellow Connector (cut) - 1
Orange Connectors (cut) - 1
Rubber Bands - 4
Total - 228
Anyway let's talk about the Colt M1911, it's not my own creation since I followed the instructions from Instructables member Cazadactle and I have easily followed each picture to create this accurate model of a Colt M1911. The only changes that I made to Colt M1911 was to the trigger and that's about it.
Good Points
· Comfortable Handgrip
·Good Iron Sights
·Very Realistic
Bad Points
· Rubbers Bands Are Needed To Keep It Together
· Uses A Few Cut Pieces
· Doesn't Shoot Because It's Just A Model
Specifications For A Real Colt M1911
· Designed - 1911
· Number Built - Over 2,700,000
· Ammo - .45 ACP
· Rate Of Fire - 20 to 30 Rounds Per Minute
· Powered - Short Recoil Operation
· Magazine - 7 Rounds
. Range - Between 50 and 55 yards
Overall I really like it, its very light, well detailed and it comfortable to hold in you're hands. Cazadactlehas defiantly made a very good replica of the Colt M1911 and there are other great replicas on instructables from members such as The Red Book Of Westmarch, BlackShadow12 and War Pig.
In Call Of Duty: Zombies, the Colt M1911 is available in every single map except for Origins. It is the weapon that you start off every new game. It's only strong for the first few rounds if combined with the knife. When it is Pack-A-Punched for 5000 points it becomes the "Mustang & Sally" where they become duel wield, less ammo, smaller magazine, slower rate of fire, quicker reload time and it will now fire grenades instead of bullets. Speed Cola will decrease the reload time to just 0.8 seconds and PHD Flopper will protect from the explosive damage. They are good at clearing crowds of zombies but in higher rounds ammo can be a problem and only way to get more ammo is through a Max Ammo power up.

Someone fresh out (he's just 21!!) with an incredible talent for portrait illustration. Someone to watch for.
Meet Spencer Smith.
Petite Pomme! which translates to 'small apple' and in this specific case – to the photography of Miriam Lindthaler who is located in Hamburg, DE.
Her portfolio is overflowing with bubbly, vibrant, fresh, having fun in the moment kiddos! She is soooo good! Don't look staged at all.
Quite a feat in my book.
Evgeny Parfenov residing in Moscow (RU) is a sensational illustrator whose portraits have appeared in almost all major magazines out there.
His style is deconstructed with bold strokes (and vivid colors) that capture the essence of the subject.
Cameos (headshots) editorial illustrations by terrific Żaneta Antosik commissioned by Computer Arts (UK) magazine. Her style is truly unique. What a talent!
If you enjoy her work – you can procure prints in her Etsy store.
Ian Weldon is a terrific photographer who is in the business of capturing weddings photography for people that don't want wedding photography. Uh??
You get wacky – funny – tender. In all you get pictures that reflect the reality of the day – not ones that are usually staged – unreal.

Hail the Size
I Can't Die in L.A.
(GoodDrummer Music)
US: 2 Nov 2009
UK: Import
I Can't Die in L.A., Hail the Size's full-length debut, is full of sturdy, listenable country-rock. The group is actually the songwriting duo of Charles Ezell (vocals, guitar) and Matt North (drums), but the album is a full-band effort. Singer/pianist Maria McKee is present on most of the tracks, providing some excellent harmonies, while guitarist Carey Fosse plays most of the leads. The songs are very good, putting the focus on Ezell (and McKee)'s vocals, while backing them up with robust arrangements. Despite the title track's insistence of disliking L.A., the album sounds polished and slick like its namesake; there isn't much grit to be found.
Ezell wants his lyrics to be clever, but they often cross the line into self-impressed. "Crazy Girl" offers the refrain: "She's a crazy girl / From crazy girl world / She'll make you crazy / Just give her a whirl," while "Hail Mary" leans so heavily on its football metaphors that the underlying point of a crumbling relationship is almost completely buried. The band also tends to fall back on obvious rhymes that end up sounding awkward such as referring to the massive Los Angeles area as a "beautiful spot" in order to rhyme it with "sunny and hot." These contrivances don't ruin the fun, though, which is enough to make I Can't Die in LA memorable—even if it isn't quite distinctive enough to separate it from the country-rock pack.

A NEW YORK TIMES, WASHINGTON POST, and LOS ANGELES TIMES BESTSELLER
"e;ESSENTIAL READING."e; JANE GOODALL
"e;A CRITICALLY IMPORTANT BOOK."e; JACK WELCH
From the leader of the nation s most powerful animal-protection organization comes a frontline account of how conscience and creativity are driving a revolution in American business that is changing forever how we treat animals and create wealth.Wayne Pacelle of the Humane Society of the United States reveals how entrepreneurs, Fortune 500 CEOs, world-class scientists, philanthropists, and a new class of political leaders are driving the burgeoning, unstoppable growth of the humane economy.
Every business grounded on animal exploitation, Pacelle argues, is ripe for disruption. Indeed each one of us is, and will be, touched by this far-reaching transformation in food and agriculture; in the pharmaceutical, chemical, and cosmetics industries; in film, television, and live entertainment; in tourism and wildlife management; in the pet trade for dogs and cats and exotic wildlife; and in fur and leather fashions. Collectively it promises to relieve or end the suffering of billions of creatures, while allowing businesses aligned with the best instincts and values of their customers to flourish.
Pacelle shows, for instance, how the cruelties of industrial chicken farming are quickly becoming obsolete with a visit to Hampton Creek, the makers of a plant-based egg substitute and the world s fastest-growing food startup ever. Pacelle also recounts the stories of how established companies are joining in this economic transformation: from Petco and PetSmart, which have turned the conventional pet store model on its head by forswearing puppy mill suppliers in favor of shelter dogs; to John Paul Mitchell Systems, the Body Shop, and Lush, which use safe ingredients instead of animal tests for their cosmetics; to major food retailers like Whole Foods, Chipotle, and even Costco and Walmart, which are embracing animal welfare standards that are one by one unwinding the horrors of the factory farm.
The Humane Economy is a clarion call to business leaders and to the world s growing animal protection movement; it is equally a warning to the static thinking of animal-use industries and their apologists: Here, in this humane economy, Pacelle argues, human ingenuity meets human virtue, and we discover at last that we can have it both ways a better world for us and for animals, too.

Take me to a country church
on a clear blue day in June
where smiling strangers shake your hand
overwhelm you with grace.
Let there be a young man
strumming on a guitar
his voice strong
and scrubbed clean.
Let there be children
small enough to fit
in the laps of their fathers
resting their heads on his chest.
Let there be truth
spoken plainly, gently
about simple devotion to a gracious God
mercy and peace pouring in waves.
Let joy fill the sanctuary
and overflow out of open windows
to where angels inhale the sweet aroma
and dance in the light.

Baby gets these bouts of colic that I believe are mostly from gas. When she has it, she can't stand to be horizontal, and really just wants to be held over the shoulder and patted. That's okay for a while, but sometimes it goes for an hour, which is exhausting. Most days it only happens once, but rarely it occurs over and over throughout the day.
We had a pretty bad day, and I found myself just losing my mind. You get so hungry and tired, but you can't take a break, and you start thinking "shut the fuck up! WTF do you want god dammit". In a real bad moment I started getting these weird impulses "like maybe if I throw the baby on the floor it will shut up" or "maybe shaking a baby isn't that bad". And then you just have to go whoah, keep it together, calm down.
It made me realize that if I was somewhat more irresponsible, more prone to rage, or less in control of myself, I easily could shake a baby, or one of those awful other things that people do (just lock it in a room to cry itself out, or give it booze, or whatever).
In fact it made me sort of understand those moms that kill their children, or the dads that go out for cigarettes and never come back. There's this feeling that these fucking kids are ruining your life and you can't do anything about it and you're going to be stuck with them for the next 18 years and there's this sudden feeling of helpless desperation. I can sympathize with the impulse, but of course that's where being an adult with some self control comes in.
I'm in awe of the women who had to take care of their kids all alone, with no help from their selfish misogynist husband that wouldn't touch a diaper or cook for the family, and appalled at those husbands.
Part of my thinking in having a baby was that I understood perfectly well that I would lose going out to eat, and travel, and pretty much every activity out of the house. And I'm okay with that, because those things fucking suck anyway. I don't understand what old single people do. I feel like I've done pretty much everything (*) there is to do in this life, and I don't need to keep doing the same shit over and over. I'm fine with losing all of that. But I do miss the ability to just have a quiet moment for myself, especially at the end of the day when I'm exhausted and frazzled.
(* = obviously not actually everything, nor everything that I want to do; what I have done is everything that's *easy* to do, which is all that normal people ever do. Things like going to restuarants and driving cars on race tracks and skydiving and travel and watching movies - how fucking boring and pathetic is all of that, don't you have any creativity? That's just the easy default consumerist way to waste your time - pay some money and get some superficial kicks. The actual good activities are things like : make your own internet comedy, assassinate an evil politician, find sponsors and be a motorcycle racer, go horseback camping on your own across the Russian steppe. But everyone's just too lazy and boring to ever do anything good with their life, and so am I. So just have a kid.)
One thing I've realized is that a good parent is never annoyed; a good parent never says "not now". You need to be always able to drop what you're doing, or get up off the couch and help your kid. I've always been the kind of person who has moments where I'll socialize and other times when I really want to be left alone, and if someone tries to talk to me during the left alone time I'm really pissy at that them. That's not okay for a parent, you can't be pissy at your kid because they talked to you when you're tired or hungry or trying to work.
(I suppose this is related to a realization I had some time ago, which is if you believe you are a nice person except when you are tired or hungry or cranky or busy or having a bad day - you're not a nice person. Your character is how you behave in the difficult times.)
A good parent doesn't only love their children when they're behaving well. If you only like them when they're being quiet and happy, you're an asshole. A good dad has unconditional love that is not taken away when they misbehave; if anything you need to have more kindness in your heart when they're bad, because that's when they need it from you the most. Don't be a pissy little selfish whiney baby who's like "whaah the kids are being jerks to me so I'm justified in yelling at them or just running away to my office". You're the adult, you're supposed to be the bigger person than them. (in fact a good adult treats other adults the same way)
I really miss sleeping. I'm getting way more sleep than my wife, but it's still just not enough; I suppose the draining hard work of caring for baby is part of the problem, I really need even more sleep than usual and instead I'm getting less. I can feel my brain is not working the way it used to, and that feels horrible.
Maybe most of all I miss being able to have a moment where I know I don't have to do anything. So I can finally stop working, so I can let down my guard and just relax and know I'm not going to get have to start up the diesel engine again. I may never have that again in my life, because kid issues can occur at any time; you can't knock yourself out on heroin anymore; you never get that time when you know you can just shut off your brain. Parents have to be always-on, and that's just exhausting.
I guess one of the problems for me is that I give my all to work; I don't stop working for the day until I feel completely drained, like I have nothing left, and then I just can't deal with any more tasks, I need to crash, be left alone. That's been a shitty thing for me to do my whole life; it's been shitty to my girlfriends and wife that I get home from work and just have no energy for them, but perhaps even more so it's been shitty to myself. Even morons (smarter than me) who work retail or whatever know that you shouldn't give all your energy to the stupid job; of course you should be texting your friends while you work, planning your night's activities, and when you get off work you shouldn't be drained, you should have energy to hang out, be nice to people, have a life outside of work. Anyway, when there's a whole mess of baby work to be done when you get off work; you really can't afford to work 'til you drop.
In other shitty-but-true news : if I was hiring programmers, and I had the choice between a dad and a single guy, I would not hire the dad. They would have to be massively better to compensate for the drain of children. Only young single guys will stupidly throw away their lives on work the way a manager really wants.

Duration: 2 days, 9:30am - 6:00pm
Location:10 Craven Street London WC2N 5PE
Course price: £299.94 (inclusive of VAT)
We help to demystify the film industry in two days. Learn how to shoot, edit and direct a first feature cost-effectively and develop a plan for submitting to film festivals and distributors. Who needs the equivalent of Americas GDP to make a film? Look at Paranormal Activity and Buried. It can be done and this course is gold to any would-be filmmakers without the money for a Pot Noodle to see them through till pay day.
This weekend course ensures that anyone from the busy London ad exec with an interest in filmmaking, to the new film studies graduate with dreams of getting that first big feature, can attend.
Slotting into life comfortably, this course provides a welcome escape from the mundanity of the day job and an avenue into something much more satisfying. We call for all would-be directors to rally the battle cry "I am the new Christopher Nolan, a British Independent Film Award will be mine!"
This intensive weekend seminar shows you how to shoot a colour quality feature film, ninety minutes long with a Dolby stereo soundtrack for as little as £10,000. We did it at Raindance. We made the 35mm feature film Table 5 for just £278.38. Share our first-hand experience in making movies that look great on a minimal budget.
Movies like Pi, The Blair Witch Project, Clerks and El Mariachi were all made using the principles that are demonstrated through lecture and video clips on this course.

This article is provided to FT.com readers by BioPharm Insight—a news service focused on providing insight into the most price sensitive issues in the global pharmaceutical market. www.biopharminsight.com
Some European regions are cautious to approve any medications for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), while others are prudent about approving them for people diagnosed in adulthood, experts told BioPharm Insight. Seeds of doubt include a lack of recognition of the indication, concerns over accurate diagnosis in adulthood and potential for overdiagnosis, they noted.
Scientific evidence notes ADHD symptoms persist into adulthood and there is a high burden of cost associated with undertreatment, experts added. Studies suggest ADHD is a diagnosable and treatable lifelong illness for many patients, they said.
ADHD manifests in childhood and doesn't simply stop, said Shaw Sorooshian, director, Global Medical Affairs, Shire. Yet, there are few approved treatments for those diagnosed as adults even though the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) and the British Association of Psychopharmacology guidelines state adults deserve access to treatment, he added. NICE is a UK governance body that provides national guidance and advice to improve health and social care.
Untreated adult ADHD is associated with high sickness leave, drug abuse, accidents, criminality and failed educations, said Dr Sandra Kooij, head, PsyQ Expertise Centre Adult ADHD, The Hague, Netherlands.
Several medications are approved in Europe for ADHD children and adolescents as well as those continuing treatment into adulthood. These include stimulants such as methylphenidate formulations like Johnson and Johnson's (NYSE:JNJ) Concerta and Novartis' (VTX:NOVN) Ritalin as well as amphetamines such as Shire's (LON:SHP) Adderall and Elvanse and Eli Lilly's (NYSE:LLY) nonstimulant Strattera (atomoxetine).
The past shows regulatory resistance
Companies have previously tried to gain approval for newly diagnosed adults but have not been successful, said Dr Philip Asherson, professor in Molecular Psychiatry, Institute of Psychiatry, King's College, London, UK. "It seems surprising" to not allow drugs in people diagnosed in adulthood, especially as they are used widely in children and adults who were diagnosed as children or adolescents, he added.
Shire is interested in the adult ADHD market in Europe but needs to identify what regulators require for approval, said Paul Beresford, LDX international launch lead, Behavioural Health Business Unit. Views on ADHD differ from one European country to another, he noted.
The first drug approved for adult ADHD was Strattera in the UK, however, it was later withdrawn for this indication because one country in the Mutual Recognition Procedure, concluded the risk-benefit profile was not appropriate, said Dr David Nutt, professor, Neuropsychopharmacology, Imperial College London, UK. The Mutual Recognition Procedure is one of the routes that can be used to gain approval for medicinal products in individual EU member states.
Various regulators also reviewed Concerta for adult ADHD, but the application was withdrawn, Asherson said, because of issues over the ability to diagnose patients accurately and concerns of overdiagnosis of ADHD in adults. There were also issues raised about the risk-benefit profile and cost implications, he added.
When a NICE review was done to examine cost-effectiveness of ADHD treatment in the absence of approved drugs specifically for adult ADHD, it found more than 100 positive studies and concluded a "resounding yes" that treatment is better than none, he added.
Accurate diagnosis in adulthood root of regulatory doubts
A valid diagnosis of adult ADHD needs careful consideration of childhood symptoms, said Dr Maite Ferrin, consultant psychiatrist, Hospital Garcia Orcoyen, Estella, Spain. This process is fairly straightforward through a clinical interview with a specialist, she added.
A spokesperson from the Netherlands Medicines Regulator (CBG) said while adult ADHD is acknowledged, there are still concerns of proper ascertainment in trials and translation in clinical practice. A criterion for ADHD diagnosis is onset in childhood, she added. This is difficult to ascertain in adults, she noted, especially since ADHD was not commonly recognized when the current generation of adults were children. Therefore, corroboration of childhood onset from objective sources or third parties is tough, she added.
The concern is that patients with disorders other than ADHD might present with symptoms that partly overlap with ADHD and might be treated with a medication that could cause more harm than benefit, she explained.
The UK's Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) recognises adult ADHD as a condition but confirmation of childhood onset is essential for the diagnosis to be made, agreed an MHRA spokesperson.
The reason no product has so far been approved for adult ADHD is because submitted data were insufficient to establish a positive risk-benefit balance, not because of a lack of recognition of the indication, he added.
A US-based study showed up to 75% of patients with ADHD are not diagnosed until adulthood (Kessler, R.C. 2006. American Journal of Psychiatry 163(4):716-23), said Dr David Goodman, director, Adult Attention Deficit Disorder Center of Maryland. Treatments are available for adult ADHD in the US; however, what may be fuelling regional differences in Europe is longstanding opinion, he added.
Regional resistance still exists, yet attitudes slowly shifting
In France, where psychiatry is more focused toward psychological rather than pharmacological psychiatric intervention, there is still some resistance to accepting ADHD as a disorder, Kooij said. French healthcare authorities are reviewing prevalence, diagnosis and treatment of ADHD; however, they have stated adult ADHD will not be included in the review, a French ADHD expert said. Currently, there is no diagnosis for adult ADHD in France, he added.
Italy has also not embraced medical psychiatry well, with limited use of ADHD medications, Kooij noted. There is more acceptance of the disorder in Northern European countries such as Germany, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, the UK and the Netherlands, she noted. Recently, there has been a shift toward ADHD acceptance in Spain, where regulators now recognise ADHD, she added.
In Germany, the private company Medice recently received approval for its methylphenidate drug, Medikinet, in adult ADHD. Germany is the only region to successfully approve a drug for adult ADHD, Asherson noted. However, he added, it is only a matter of time before further approvals are granted. He declined to comment on specifics. Companies with ADHD franchises are considering pursuing this indication and closely watching the space, he said.
A six-month study, presented last month, investigating Ritalin for adult ADHD showed efficacy on symptom control and reduced functional impairment. When asked if this study would form the basis of an approval application, a Novartis spokesperson said, it is too early to comment on the company's strategy.
In Sweden, regulators are looking closely at adult data for these drugs and plans to have a thorough analysis of the research using registries to assess prescriptions and side effects, said Dr Mats Johnson, chief physician, Child Neuropsychiatry Unit, Queen Silvia's Hospital for Children, Gothenburg, Sweden.
The Medical Products Agency in Sweden did not respond to request for comment.
Psychiatrists are definitely aware of adult ADHD, and a regulatory shift is anticipated, Johnson said.
A recent publication suggests a link between lower criminality rates and patient adherence to pharmacologic ADHD treatment (Lichtenstein, P. 2012 New England Journal of Medicine. 22;367(21):2006-14), noted Dr Ylva Ginsberg, department of Medical Epidemiology and Biostatistics, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden.
Although the findings need replication, all experts interviewed suggested this study could be a game changer in highlighting the true cost of untreated adult ADHD.

This is Their Story: Redemption DiscussionJoeyray's Bar
Eh, nevermind what I said about the weapon thing. And I changed your weapons Zarkun
10/31/2012 04:50 PMPosted by KorozainWeapons: Wields twin short swords in the shape of large trench knives and a plasma rifle with rapid fire and single fire and charged burst settings.
Well on the updated sheet there was no weapon thing. OR I missed it and it wasnt on the sheet page.
Don't worry, Koro, the weapon power changes with the ROF. Less ROF, higher damage, and visa versa.
I will work on a starter weapon but I would like to start with the sword if that is OK.
I would say something with a regular blade for now. Warp Sword is a little... Much.
In my opinion. And a plasma rifle. Plus you're psionic.

Your individual ships crash on separate areas of the Northern Boreal Forest/Tundra. You may start with another person if you choose to do so.
Hey, what assault specialist wouldn't want a sharpshooter looking out for their 6?
Anyone want to start with a mildly psychopathic killer who harnesses the power of Darkness, fear, and destruction? >:3
Nope, sorry. My character doesn't go with the whole Doom and Death deal, plus she isn't a psionic. Had a chosen a descendant of Omicron (Or the man himself, still deciding on how long I want his life span to be) then I would agree.

Myriorama is a series of illustrated cards that tell a story whichever way you lay them out. Rerrange the cards and you get a different story.
Popular in the 19th Century, the form has been resurrected for a project by the Laurence Sterne Trust and James Cropper papers. The Trust promotes the work and former home of the 18th Century novellist – best known for 'anti-novel' The Life and Opinions of Tristam Shandy.
This Endless Journey myriorama is by Tom Gauld – weekly illustration contributor to The Guardian's Review section and author of Goliath – and contains scenes rom Tristam Shandy and A Sentimental Journey Through France And Italy.

A/N: I wrote this for fun. The prompt was dirty minded. Really, it's just a silly, trashy story with some stupid humor and a (possibly) exaggerated take on the fun of being dirty minded. A/U. Again this is towards the end of the rated T spectrum, almost an M.
Hell's teeth is courtesy of the amazing Medea Smyke.
(Special thanks to CR for putting up with me.)
Obviously, Suzanne Collins owns Gale, Katniss and Johanna's pants.
And reviews are always appreciated.
This wasn't how he wanted to get Katniss's pants.
No warm body in sight. That would be his luck, Gale thinks to himself as he walks down the grey hallways of District 13 clutching a predictably grey pair of military training pants.
He isn't sure if he should hold them at arm's length like he used to for one of Posy's rancid diapers, clutch them to his chest like a blackberry scented memento of the brilliant girl he's hopelessly smitten with or just carry them like standard-issue, detergent scented laundry.
That last option would probably get fewer eyebrows raised in his direction, but that's not what he decides. At a distance he holds the discarded clothing. No use getting too attached. Or reminiscing over missed opportunities: in the woods, on the hovercraft, even in the far stall of the District 13 shower.
Yes, there are definitely other ways he'd prefer to pants Katniss. Ideally, he'd tug them down in a fit of passion. It could be behind some bushes in the woods. Instead of turning to him and commenting on migratory geese and the buzz of honeybees, she'd be more inclined to talk about the birds and the bees and realize that their partnership could be more than hunting and gathering. "It's always been you," she'd say, overcome with desire. "I don't know why I didn't see it until now." She'd beg him; moan his name.
But since Sweet Cakes came along that wasn't happening. The pants were staying on in the figurative sense. Literally, she was apparently stripping them off during training.
Maybe the prep team thought the propos needed more sex appeal, or that Katniss would look more daring without pants? They never asked him to strip. And Crazy Bracelets Odair walks around without pants most of the time anyway. The ladies say he oozes sex appeal. Gale wouldn't actually know because he's a dude.
He can't really picture her walking all the way back to her apartment bottomless. He could, of course, but that's not like the Catnip he knew. She's so changed, he's not sure he knows her anymore. Not that he knew what she looked like without pants on anyway. She's certainly never forgotten them for a hunting trip, which is disappointing. But he's never suggested pants-optional hunting, which is also disappointing.
He raps on the apartment door, making sure to wipe all traces of those daydreams off of his perfectly chiseled camera-ready face.
A four-inch sliver of olive skin greets him. It's not nearly enough skin. "Gale?" Katniss doesn't sound thrilled to see him there. She sounds annoyed, like the Floury One had called her a muttation again. It doesn't seem like the way to win back the professed love of your life, but maybe Katniss likes to be called dirty names behind closed doors. It's on his To Do list to find out. Not that any man actually keeps a To Do list.
"You ummmm," he tries to get out 'left your pants, can I come in,' but instead says, "Can I come in your pants?"
The door slams loudly in his face and Gale pinches the bridge of his nose. That did not go as planned. Could it have been worse? Only if he actually had thrown a rancid diaper on her. Thank God Posy's out of that stage.
Gale knocks again.
"Gale Hawthorne, if you want to make inappropriate comments, I will string you up by one of your snares for the bears to get you," Katniss yells from the other side of the door.
Unfortunately, what Gale hears is "Gale Hawthorne, make your inappropriate comments. I will string you up and get my way with you."
Gale tries to think of crying babies and regain his composure.
"You left these at training," he grumbles to the grey door. "You really shouldn't leave your clothes laying around," he says more quietly. "What you and Bread Boy do during his 'therapy' sessions is none of my business," he mutters, wondering if in some way, he wants it to be his business. Or pleasure.
The door snaps open and Katniss scowls at him in the way that he so vividly remembers, her forehead rumpling and eyebrows arching. She looks like her mother when she does this, but because Gale values his eyeballs, appendages and other … err … useful attachments, he bites his lower lip to keep quiet as she lets him in.
Katniss yanks at the pants in such a fierce way, he can't help but hope there are other ways she channels that ferocious energy…. in seizing pants.
"These aren't my pants," she hisses with disdain in her eyes.
Hell's teeth, Gale thinks, trying not to come undone any more than seems appropriate. "The tag clearly says KE. Who else has those initials on our squad?" Gale points out the small white tag labeled in slanting black letters.
She inspects the tag, looking at Gale like he should be in that ward with Hands-to-Yourself Mellark and Cries-Too-Often Odair. He honestly thought they were hers. If they were anyone else's he would have left them there for the drill sergeant find and punish the owner with up-downs for 10 straight minutes. He'd like to see Katniss sweat, but that's not the kind of sweat he had in mind.
It's only then that he notices she's still in her training pants—mud covered knees and all. He tries not to think of activities that involves girls on their knees…. other than low crawls in a strictly training sense, of course.
"They're mine." Her eyes roll back, but not in the way Gale would like them to.
"But I'm not the one who left them lying around."
The phrase 'lying around' distracts Gale. After a long day of training, he'd like to lie around, especially with this feisty dark haired girl who obviously needs to blow off some steam.
"Johanna!" Katniss screeches.
A slim creature looks over from the tiny couch in the living area.
"Did you borrow my pants this morning?"
"Sure, she lets the roommate in her pants," Gale mutters under his breath.
"I dunno," she says blankly. "I wore pants. Didn't you ask me to do that?" Johanna looks up again. "Oh hello, gorgeous." She looks at him like he's freshly delivered vial of morphling ready to ravish her for the night.
She saunters over from the couch. When Gale scans down, he's stunned to see that the roommate is indeed missing a particular item of clothing. And from the waist down all she has on is a stringy contraption that looks more slingshot than undergarment.
Katniss glares at her roommate. "Do you ever wear pants?"
Johanna simpers. "As little as possible." There's mischief in her eyes and Gale wishes he saw that kind of mischief in Katniss's eyes more often. Okay, ever.
Johanna moves closer to Gale. "They get in the way," she mouths in his ear while trailing a finger down his chest. Gale's knees turn to jelly for a few seconds. But he's not weak, far from it. Quite the opposite, in fact. "What about you?" she purrs in his ear. He detects a hint of tongue.
When he doesn't say anything, she grabs the waistband of his pants. "Let me know if you need some help." Her fingers press the flesh of his stomach. Gale tries to stand up a little straighter. If that means her hands move a little further south, oh well.
"Katniss?" he strains, not quite knowing how to handle his longtime best friend's roommate. It's not so much an invitation for a third as a plea for intervention.
Is the roommate always this friendly? She's a victor. Maybe she's about to kill him and eat him. There hasn't been much meat in the District lately. Could be a mineral deficiency. No, his media-friendly mug is too important to the rebellion for Plutarch to ever allow that to happen.
He silently pleads to the cross girl. She stands with arms folded defiantly over her chest. Her chest. His eyes linger there for a few seconds. He's always liked that area.
He wonders if she's going to do something.
"Should I leave you two alone?" He remembers to look up at her face when she says this. She appears both uncomfortable and annoyed at the same time. "I could go visit my mother."
"Oh, I think you should stay," Johanna says in a tone that makes the hair on the back of Gale's muscular neck stand up.
Johanna pins him to the wall. "You're going to be a good boy. Aren't you?"
When you're between a terrifying temptress and a wall, what choice do you have? Gale closes his eyes. Hopefully he'll figure out what to do when he reopens them.
Johanna latches onto his mouth. This is no "nice to meet you" kiss on the cheek. It's a full on, bruise-causing, take-no-prisoners assault. Gale plays along, if for no other reason than he's scared stiff—stiff being the operative word—to turn her down and upset her. Johanna scares the pants off him—but that seems to be what she's going for, given the pull on his waistband.
He wonders whether this is District Seven's customary greeting or some kind of weird victor's ritual. Or maybe this girl's just thankful for the rescue from the Capitol. Yes, that's it. She's grateful.
"I don't think I've had a coal miner before," she sighs, her breath teasing his neck. For Gale it sounds a little too much like she's going to serve him up on a platter for a post workout snack.
"Rugged, I like that." She strokes the stubble his chin. "Kind of reminds me of the boys back home."
Gale wonders just how starved for manly attention this girl is. The shortage of virile men his age in the district has clearly affected her.
Johanna gives Gale an impish smile. And then as suddenly as she started, she stops and pulls away.
Gale wonders if he did something wrong. He wonders if it's his breath. The garlic stew they're serving around here does nothing for his game—and he's not referring to the four-legged variety.
"Katniss," Johanna calls.
"I'm leaving, I'm leaving," Katniss huffs, fingers strategically laced over her eyes. "I'll be across the hall."
For someone known across the country for practically being joined at the lip to a cake decorating fool, Gale forgot what a prude Katniss can be. That really needs to be remedied as soon as possible.
"Stay," Johanna demands.
"Ummmm." Katniss tenses and squeezes the door handle.
"But your cousin came all the way to see you," Jo smirks. "That would be rude."
Gale sees indecision in Katniss's face as she wavers, neither bursting out the door nor making a movement in the other direction. Maybe Johanna scares the pants off her too? He can only hope.
Johanna thrusts Gale over toward Katniss. Gale is now regrettably sandwiched between the girl whose quivers haunt his daydreams and the roommate he can still taste on his slightly chapped lips.
"Roommates share," Johanna baits him.
He's not sure what's supposed to happen next, but it seems like a fly by the seat of your pants kind of moment to him.
"Trust me. This will take your mind off Bread Boy," Johanna tells Katniss as she strokes Gale's chest.
Bread Boy, who? Gale thinks. This does work.
Katniss glowers. If Johanna was a guy, Gale thinks Johanna might have gotten the dreaded knee to the boys.
"You need to learn how to relax, have some fun," Johanna continues. "This will help." She smacks Gale on the ass.
He jumps, not because it hurts, but because getting goosed took him completely by surprise. But Katniss lets out a nervous laugh at the sight. Her hand, though, grips tight around the knob.
Johanna's smile would make the devil wary. She strokes a stray piece of Katniss's hair down her jaw line. Katniss turns a shade of red Gale's never seen before. He likes it.
Johanna takes that moment to strike, crushing into Katniss and kissing her like Gale's wanted to since that day they bumped heads when they both tried to cut the same rabbit down from the snare line. It should be him, of course, but something in him can't bring himself to break them up. After all, Katniss didn't intervene when Johanna jumped him. And frankly it's hottest thing he's seen since leaving his trusty slag heap back in District 12. Obviously he's not including Forgot-My-Pants Odair.
When Johanna finally breaks suction, Katniss looks as confused as Gale has ever seen her. To Gale's disappointment, this doesn't seem to be part of their nightly routine.
But the scowl is gone. For the briefest moment.
And then so is the girl.
Katniss scampers across the hall and Gale is alone in the room with a girl he's barely exchanged hellos with—much less spit with—before today.
She crooks an eyebrow in a way that tells him Katniss's hasty exit may not have been entirely unexpected. She turns up the corner of her mouth, revealing a small dimple that makes her look like she's about to let out a wicked laugh.
"Where were we?" Jo asks like they have a standing Tuesday appointment. Or kneeling. Lying down even.
She hooks her fingers around his belt looks and tugs him closer and closer until she's practically grinding against him.
The look in her eyes is hungry. She's not asking. She's taking.
Gale swallows as he tries to size this one up. He could call her bluff. But it might be more fun not to.
She doesn't break her smoldering gaze while she bolts the door behind her. The metal thuds and it's obvious she wants to lock more than doors.
She's got Gale cornered, confined to her space.
Rather than let her have the upper hand, Gale reaches around to the small of her back, grabbing her closer still. Her shoulders connect with his chest, her knees press against his legs. He even thinks he can feel the jut of her ribcage on his stomach, the curve of her chest on his. Gale's surprised to find that he towers over her. She carries herself with a brazen swagger that makes a foot taller than she actually is. But nonetheless here she is, standing her ground, moving his hands lower, away from the relative safety of her back.
Gale has the distinct impression he's being used. But he doesn't think about that. He's learned not to think, just to act and he kisses her harder now. There's something urgent in her actions, a need to be closer to him.
Really, it just shows that she has good taste. He's been told by many a skirt that he's good-looking. It's not his fault a certain oblivious huntress doesn't recognize his animal magnetism. Unlike her other friends he's not confined to a wheelchair, doesn't cry at the mention of sea shells and doesn't have guards on hand every time he wants to frost up something pink and flowery. If Johanna is going to use somebody, it might as will be the tall, dark and handsome face of the resistance.
He's grateful too. How did she know exactly what he needed to relax after a bad day? Take his mind off the girl, the war, everything else.
Savagely, she tears off his shirt. He returns in kind, tugging at the hem of her uniform top. His hand brushes her stomach. He's always pleasantly surprised with how soft the skin on girls' stomachs are. He pulls. She pushes him. Slams him right onto the couch.
He's been waiting for a take-charge girl like her. She knows what she wants and she's not afraid to wear the pants … or not.
Jo straddles him, one thigh on each side of his hips. Gale gulps.
With girls in District 12, he knew what to expect. Town girls. Seam girls. They were all the same in their giggles, willingness. None of them were axe murderers more likely to bury a blunt metal object in his chest than plant a kiss on his jaw.
"Gale!" Katniss snaps loudly an inch in front of his nose. "Were you listening to a word I said?"
Gale opens his eyes, squints a few times trying to figure out what's going on. He's still standing by the door, not being manhandled on the couch. Katniss is stewing a few feet away. Johanna is pressed against him so tightly he thinks she might be trying to smother the wrinkles out of his clothes with her body heat.
"Johanna, off," Katniss commands like she might tell Buttercup to stop kneading the armrest of the Everdeens' old threadbare couch.
Jo throws her hands up and takes exactly one step back, daring Katniss to do something.
Gale shakes his head and comes back to reality.
"I was just going," he excuses himself and hastily retreats from the apartment.
Outside in the hall, he slumps against the wall and shudders. What just happened? She isn't Katniss, but another wild eyed, dark-haired girl with a history of arenas and a knack for ending up in certain wings of the hospital. And for half a second Gale is confused, ashamed. Then he remember it's dinnertime and starts to head off to the dining hall. Food calls.
"Too bad," Johanna peeks her head out of the door, calling after him. Gale momentarily forgets the lure of creamed beets.
"I do so love company." She throws him a suggestive wink. And while there's an unmistakable mischief in those brown eyes, there's also a hidden sadness. Loneliness.
"When's the last time anybody kissed you?" Gale wants to ask.
He steps closer to her.
Gale knows that act all too well—all about that anger.
He cups her elbow and looks at her. It's not his meet-me-at-the-slag-heap smile. It's one he gives to Katniss when it's just the two of them and the woods. It's the same smile he gives Posy when she presents him with a new crayon drawing of their family.
Something in Johanna seems to crumble. She's almost soft in that moment, a thin mass of bones. A girl nonetheless. Like all of the girls he used to distract himself from Katniss. But also unlike any girl he's ever met.
He wants to kiss the bruises fading down her arm and tell her he can help. But he doesn't know if he can.
Johanna rises up on her tiptoes, posture back in an instant. She pokes him on the nose. "I really thought we could have some fun," she tells him before slipping back inside.
Gale grins back at her. "I can only imagine."

Catch The Wave Part 2 – The Science of Peace and Happiness
Saturday January 2 at 7:00 PM
Unitarian Universalist Church of Albany
405 Washington Ave, Albany, NY 12206
"The Constitution only guarantees the American people the right to pursue happiness. You have to catch it yourself." Benjamin Franklin
There is a reason why our forefathers included "the pursuit of happiness" in the United States Declaration of Independence. Pursuing happiness is not just for personal gain, it benefits society as a whole. People who are happier, give more, love better and even live longer. Albany Peace Project founder, Bethany Gonyea will share with us what science has been discovering about happiness, and how biofeedback and mindfulness dramatically enhances happiness levels, which enhances people's willingness to be of service to the greater good. The pursuit of happiness has the tragic propensity to bring great misery when we pursue the wrong things. After attending this event, you will be able to discern worthy happiness pursuits that are guaranteed to dramatically increase your peace and happiness.
We are also fortunate to have the musical group The Souls of Evolution, with featured guest Joy Adler performing as well.
