Vietnamese traffic police in Thanh Hoa province near Ho Chi Minh City are not screwing around.
They concede to using fishing nets to snare teenagers speeding through town. The cops had no other workable defense against "mob racing," according to a senior traffic cop quoted by the Telegraph. (Click over for a ridiculous photo of a cop with a giant net chasing a cyclist.)
But jamming a nightstick in passing motorbike's wheel, causing two perps to fly off?
We didn't do that, the same province's police claim, despite purported evidence posted to YouTube, reports VietnamNet.
If they did, that would be an awfully harsh detainment tactic for two guys whose only infaction, VietnamNet reports, was riding without a helmet.
Here's video of the aftermath.

MADRID – While the world anxiously awaits the climax of the eurozone drama, its leaders' behavior resembles the political equivalent of what physicists call "Brownian motion," with officials bouncing randomly from one crucial bilateral consultation and vital European summit to the next. The impact of make-or-break declarations that are supposed to solve the monetary union's problems dissipates almost as soon as they are issued.
Meanwhile, a plethora of diagnoses and prescriptions are competing for attention – and in their gloominess. But their overwhelming focus on the economics of the euro crisis is itself part of the problem because the crisis is, above all, a reflection of deep-seated weaknesses in European institutions and the fabric of European society. Otherwise, what began as a marginal debt crisis, aggravated by political indecisiveness in Greece and in the European Union as a whole, would not have grown into an existential watershed moment for the European project.
Europe is plagued by three distinct problems. First, it remains incapable of adjusting to the realities of a world whose center of gravity has irrevocably shifted eastward to the Pacific, pulling with it the attention of the United States. Second, more than ever, Europeans are looking inward, as a sense of entitlement meets pervasive skepticism – a combination that permeates to the highest echelons of the Union and EU national governments.
Meanwhile, at a time when the EU's basic law, the Treaty of Lisbon, needs to be reformed, the entire Union is paralyzed by the navel-gazing attitude of a Germany beset by 90-year-old memories of the doomed Weimar Republic. Therein lies the problem: the decision-making process that has underwritten much of the EU's construction, while highly effective during the Cold War, when the Union's institutional and legal foundations were laid, has remained largely intact, leaving Europe unable to address its current challenges.

Although cognitive-behavioral treatments for panic disorder have demonstrated efficacy, a considerable number of patients terminate treatment prematurely or remain symtpomatic. Cognitive and biobehavioral coping skills are taught to improve exposure therapy outcomes but evidence for an additive effect is largely lacking. Current methodologies used to study the augmenting effects of coping skills test the degree to which the delivery of coping skills enhances outcomes. However, they do not assess the degree to which acquisition of coping skills and their application during exposure therapy augment outcomes. We examine the extant evidence on the role of traditional coping skills in augmenting exposure for panic disorder, discuss the limitations of existing research, and offer recommendations for methodological advances.
Panic disorder with or without agoraphobia (PD/A) is a common emotional disorder with a lifetime prevalence estimate of approximately 4.7% in the United States (Kessler, Chiu, Demler, & Walters, 2005). It is associated with high levels of disability (Keller et al., 1994; Klerman, Weissman, Ouellette, Johnson, & Greenwald, 1991), considerable economic costs (Katon et al., 1990; Leon, Portera, & Weissman, 1995; Roy-Byrne et al., 1999), and high medical utilization (Deacon, Lickel, & Abramowitz, 2008).
The most empirically supported psychosocial treatment for PD/A is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), of which the central focus is repeated exposure to feared situations and sensations, supported by a set of control-based coping skills (see Craske & Barlow, 2008). These skills typically aim to change catastrophic appraisals and/or somatic symptoms. Patients are encouraged to apply the cognitive skills to control negative thoughts and somatic skills to control dysregulated physiology during exposure to feared sensations or situations. Although CBT for PD has clearly established itself as an effective treatment (Norton & Price, 2007; Westen & Morrison, 2001), effect sizes are smallest among the anxiety disorders (Andrews, Cuijpers, Craske, McEvoy, & Titov, 2010; Hofmann & Smits, 2008 but not Norton & Price, 2007). Also, a large percentage of completers are not panic free or do not reach responder status after treatment (Brown & Barlow, 1995). For example, in the largest randomized-controlled trial for PD to date (Barlow, Gorman, Shear, & Woods, 2000), only 32% assigned to CBT alone demonstrated strong treatment response 12 months after acute treatment. Together, these data indicate that there is room for improvement in PD/A treatment. Therapy optimization calls for a renewed focus on underlying mechanisms (i.e., why treatments work and for whom). The focus of this review is to examine the degree to which active ingredients of CBT (i.e., coping skill techniques) are implemented, augment exposure therapy, and mediate panic symptom reduction. To this end we (a) examine the extant evidence of the role of traditional coping skills in augmenting exposure, (b) discuss the limitations of existing research, and (c) offer recommendations for methodological advances. The latter will be discussed using examples of two emerging therapy approaches, acceptance and cognitive defusion, as employed in acceptance and commitment therapy (Hayes, Strosahl, & Wilson, 1999) and capnometry-assisted respiratory training (Meuret, Wilhelm, Ritz, & Roth, 2008).
Coping skills traditionally included in CBT for PD/A are cognitive restructuring and either breathing retraining and/or relaxation. Presumably, the effects of exposure are augmented by applying the skills (e.g., disputing the probability of a harmful outcome while being exposed to a feared situation and showing that dysregulated physiology can be partially regulated). In the following, we review the evidence for the augmenting effects of traditionally taught cognitive and behavioral skills on exposure therapy in PD/A.
The cognitive theory of panic disorder (Clark, 1986) posits that panic attacks are caused by catastrophic beliefs about bodily sensations or situational contexts in which such sensations occur. In support, patients with PD/A have strong beliefs and fears of physical or mental harm arising from bodily sensations associated with panic attacks (e.g., Chambless, Caputo, Bright, & Gallagher, 1984; McNally & Lorenz, 1987). They are also more likely to interpret bodily sensations in a catastrophic fashion (Clark et al., 1988), and to allocate more attentional resources to physical sensations presented by words or heart rate feedback (e.g., Ehlers, Margraf, Davies, & Roth, 1988; Hope, Rapee, Heimberg, & Dombeck, 1990; Kroeze & van den Hout, 2000; Maidenberg, Chen, Craske, Bohn, & Bystritsky, 1996; McNally, Riemann, Louro, Lukach, & Kim, 1992). In addition, they are more likely to fear procedures that elicit panic sensations (Antony, Ledley, Liss, & Swinson, 2006; Blechert, Wilhelm, Meuret, Wilhelm, & Roth, 2010; Gorman et al., 1994; Jacob, Furman, Clark, & Durrant, 1992; Perna, Bertani, Arancio, Ronchi, & Bellodi, 1995; Rapee, 1986).
Cognitive skill training (CT) is aimed at recognizing cognitive errors and generating alternative, noncatastrophic explanations for the sensations that are feared during panic attacks. A rationale emphasizing the role of appraisals is followed by consideration of the evidence and logical empiricism to generate more evidence-based appraisals for recent and anticipated panic attacks and contexts that produce panic symptoms. During exposure, patients are encouraged to evaluate the degree to which elicited panic symptoms (via interoceptive or in vivo exposure) are indeed predictive of catastrophic outcome. Whereas bodily sensations are often cited as triggers of panic attacks, according to Clark (1986) and McNally (1994), treatment success depends on the correction of the catastrophic interpretation of these sensations, not the sensations themselves. The extent to which biological factors that may elicit or sustain panic symptoms are without harm to the system remains unknown. As such, claims in either direction (harmful or nonharmful) presently lack an empirical basis.
CT is often intermingled with behavioral techniques (e.g., "behavioral experiments," "hypothesis testing," "instructions" involving exposure), which complicate the direct testing of efficacy of CT in its "pure" form (e.g., Hoffart, Sexton, Hedley, & Martinsen, 2008; Hofmann et al., 2007; Öst, Westling, & Hellström, 1993; Teachman, Marker, & Smith-Janik, 2008). Nonetheless, there is some evidence that training in cognitive procedures in full isolation from exposure and behavioral procedures is efficacious in reducing aspects of panic (Beck, Stanley, Baldwin, Deagle, & Averill, 1994; Meuret, Rosenfield, Seidel, Bhaskara, & Hofmann, 2010; Salkovskis, Clark, & Hackmann, 1991; Van den Hout, Arntz, & Hoekstra, 1994). Similarly, in a study by Bouchard et al. (1996), exposure therapy was as effective in reducing panic symptoms as cognitive restructuring. In comparison to in vivo exposure, some studies have shown that CT alone was less effective for agoraphobia (Williams & Falbo, 1996). Hoffart (1995) found that CT targeting misappraisals of bodily sensations was as effective as guided mastery exposure delivered intensively over 6 weeks for individuals with moderate to severe agoraphobia, although some elements of exposure (e.g., hyperventilation tests to elicit sensations) were included in the CT condition.
A few studies have evaluated the effects of CT combined with exposure in comparison to exposure alone or in combination with other coping skills. Most often, CT plus exposure does not yield an additional benefit over exposure in vivo alone (Öst, Thulin, & Ramnero, 2004; van den Hout et al., 1994). One exception was a study by Murphy, Michelson, Marchione, Marchione, and Testa (1998), in which those receiving CT + graded exposure outperformed those receiving graded exposure alone or graded exposure + relaxation training. Furthermore, a recent meta-analysis, albeit across different anxiety disorders, indicated no differences across CT, exposure therapy, or their combination (Norton & Price, 2007). In the only published study to date that has experimentally evaluated initial training in CT followed by in vivo exposure, van den Hout and colleagues randomized clients with moderate to severe agoraphobia to four sessions of CT or attention control followed by eight sessions of exposure therapy. Initial CT resulted in reductions in panic frequency, but not avoidance behavior or other panic-related symptoms. The latter were only reduced with the addition of exposure. Attention control did not change panic symptoms or avoidance, but after adding exposure, avoidance behavior was reduced to the same extent as the CT condition. No differences were observed between CT + exposure or attention control plus exposure during the exposure phase in panic symptoms (behavioral and self-report measures). Hence, CT did not potentiate exposure effects in this study.
Taken together, the extant data indicates that the delivery of CT alone is partially effective for PD/A, but there is little evidence suggesting CT augments the effects of exposure alone. As discussed earlier, the lack of data on successful acquisition and application of cognitive skills renders premature any conclusions regarding their augmenting effect upon exposure. Thus, we can currently conclude that delivery of CT as a part of an exposure-based treatment for PD/A does not confer significantly greater benefit, but conclusions regarding the degree to which actual use of CT during exposure enhances outcome remains unknown.
Respiratory abnormalities have been postulated as an important factor in the development or maintenance of PD/A (Gorman et al., 1988; Klein, 1993; see Meuret & Ritz, 2010, for a review) and has led to speculations about a causal relationship between respiratory regulation, in particular PCO2 and panic. According to Ley (1985) panic attacks are caused by acute states of hypocapnia, which may not be limited to the attack itself, but may precede and follow it, giving rise to moderate sustained hypocapnia. Hyperventilation according to Klein is viewed as a compensatory or secondary reaction to an overly sensitive "suffocation alarm system" in these patients. When a patient's PCO2 rises, the system starts firing at an abnormally low threshold and/or responds with greater sensitivity to increments in CO2. This leads to disproportional dyspnea (sensations of air hunger, breathlessness, suffocation), which due to its distressing nature initiates a cascade of panic symptoms. In this context, chronic hyperventilation is interpreted as an adaptation to a lowered suffocation alarm threshold, in that it keeps PCO2 sufficiently low to avoid triggering the suffocation alarm. Evidence for both postulations has been found in a recent ambulatory study tracing cardio respiratory changes in the hour before out-of-the-blue attacks (Meuret et al., in press) and decades of experimental studies (Blechert et al., 2010; Caldirola, Bellodi, Caumo, Migliarese, & Perna, 2004; Dager et al., 1995; Gorman, Martinez, Coplan, Kent, & Kleber, 2004; Gorman et al., 1988; Wilhelm, Gerlach, & Roth, 2001). Consistently, breathing training (BRT), with the purpose of modifying pathogenic breathing, is part of many CBT packages for PD/A (Barlow, Craske, Cerny, & Klosko, 1989; Telch et al., 1993).
The rationale of BRT assumes a central role for hypocapnia in panic symptom production (Ley, 1985), postulating a positive feedback loop between increasing anxiety and increasing hyperventilation. Amelioration of panic symptoms is expected when patients achieve reductions in transient and sustained hypocapnia. The descriptions of the therapeutic strategies and outcomes for BRT are sparse and mixed (see Meuret, Wilhelm, Ritz, & Roth, 2003, for a review). Most manuals and studies describe instructions in abdominal breathing as their central techniques. Other techniques include pacing aids (e.g., recorded audio tones) or breathe counting. Furthermore, target respiratory rates as well as duration and frequency of between-session exercises vary largely across studies. Most surprisingly, the central tenet of BRT, the correction of hypocapnic breathing, is neither measured nor targeted in traditional BRT. Given the lack of such data, bold claims such as, "There is no evidence that breathing therapy works by normalizing pCO2" (Bass, 1997, p. 425) technically are accurate.
Traditional BRT has rarely been tested in isolation but is intermingled with either cognitive (de Beurs, van Balkom, Lange, Koele, & van Dyck, 1995; de Ruiter, Rijken, Garssen, & Kraaimaat, 1989) or behavioral (de Beurs, Lange, van Dyck, & Koele, 1995) techniques.1 There are only three studies that have tested the effects of traditional BRT in isolation (Clark, Salkovskis, & Chalkley, 1985; Rapee, 1985; Salkovskis, Jones, & Clark, 1986), all of which indicate decreases in panic symptom severity, but also all lack control comparison groups. In-session PCO2 was assessed in only one study (Salkovskis et al., 1986) with evidence of normalization from initial hypocapnic to normocapnic levels at posttreatment.
Only two controlled studies tested the additive effects of BRT upon exposure. In the study by Hibbert and Chan (1989), PD/A patients were randomly assigned to receive either 2 weeks of BRT or supportive therapy followed by 3 weeks of in vivo exposure. The interventions were equally effective in the first 2-week phase, but BRT yielded greater improvement in clinician (but not self-report) ratings than supportive therapy following the additional exposure training. Bonn, Redhead, and Timmons (1984) alternately allocated patients with agoraphobia to receive either two sessions of BRT followed by 7 weekly sessions of in vivo exposure or in vivo exposure alone for 9 weeks. While BRT plus exposure was equally effective as exposure alone at posttreatment, BRT plus exposure yielded superior outcome 6 months later. Other studies have attempted to identify the degree to which BRT exerts an effect as part of a multicomponent exposure-based protocol using comparative and dismantling designs. For instance, Craske, Rowe, Lewin, and Noriega-Dimitri (1997) compared CT + interoceptive exposure (IE) + in vivo exposure to CT + BRT + in vivo exposure. Group differences at posttreatment suggested that treatments were equally effective on most of the 27 measures related to anxiety and distress, such as panic apprehension, panic fear and avoidance, agoraphobic fear and avoidance, and general distress. A dismantling study by Schmidt and colleagues (2000) examined the differential efficacy of group CBT +/− breathing retraining. No significant condition differences were found, thus questioning the additional additive benefit of BRT to CBT. Although these studies provide an important foundation for studying the additive effect of coping skills, such as BRT, the use of multicomponent treatment protocols for both groups, as well as the lack of outcome assessment after the delivery of each component and/or assessment regarding the degree to which the coping skills are used, limits our ability to fully assess the contribution of BRT over and above other components. As noted by White and Barlow (2002), "An important limitation of this study [Schmidt et al., 2000], however, is the lack of assessment of each patient's true use of each treatment component […] Such evaluation would benefit from a thorough assessment that identifies what treatment techniques were used or not used by patients […]" (p. 371).
Taken together, BRT has been rarely tested in isolation from other therapeutic strategies in the treatment of PD/A, and studies examining the potentiation of BRT upon exposure are limited and yield mixed results. Most problematically, it remains unknown whether traditional BRT actually reverses hypocapnic breathing relative to control conditions.
Because traditional relaxation is used less often in recent approaches to treating PD/A, this section will only briefly review the historical significance of this coping skill in the treatment of PD/A, and the research contributions that have furthered our understanding of this technique.
Progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) was first described by Jacobson (1934) and derived from his theory that negative emotional states were caused by "neuromuscular hypertension" (Jacobson, 1938). PMR was later implemented in behavior therapy by Wolpe (1958), who trained patients in this relaxation strategy as part of systematic desensitization. In his protocol, the primary goal was to use relaxation as an antagonistic response to anxiety that would reciprocally inhibit anxiety and eventually become a conditioned inhibitor. Later, Bernstein and Borkovec (1973) formalized and standardized PMR training. PMR as a training for PD/A was typically taught to reduce general tension to achieve a body state that lowers the risk for stressors to elicit panic.
In the most widely studied approach to PMR (Bernstein & Borkovec, 1973), patients learn to tense and relax a series of muscle groups (starting with 16), and gradually reduce the number of muscle groups (typically from 8 to 4). Patients are taught to (a) focus their attention on a specific muscle group, (b) tense that muscle group, (c) maintain the muscle contraction for 5 to 7 seconds, (d) then relax the muscle group upon cue for 20 seconds, and (e) focus on the feelings and sensations of relaxation in the muscle group.
Evidence for the efficacy of PMR for PD/A is sparse and mixed, which is perhaps why it is infrequently used as a treatment component in modern CBT approaches to PD/A. One study (Marks et al., 1993) compared (a) alprazolam + in vivo exposure (combined treatment), (b) alprazolam + PMR (used as a psychological placebo), (c) pill placebo + in vivo exposure, and (d) pill placebo + PMR (double placebo). All four treatment conditions showed improvement in panic measures, with no differences between them on most panic symptom measures during treatment or throughout the follow-up period. However, percentages of those classified as "much/very much improved" on the Clinical Global Improvement Scale (CGI) at follow-up were lower for PMR + placebo (25%) compared to the other groups (51% for alprazolam + PMR, 71% for alprazolam + exposure, and 71% for placebo + exposure). Thus, PMR (plus placebo) fared less well than the other conditions when using clinician measures. In another study, Öst (1988) found that PMR alone resulted in large reductions of panic symptom severity, although it was less effective than the combination of PMR + interoceptive exposure (i.e., applied relaxation).
The majority of PMR study designs do not test augmenting effects due to the intermingling effect of additional components. For example, in the study by Öst and Westling (1995), the authors examined the efficacy of applied relaxation (i.e., PMR + in vivo exposure) and CBT (which included "behavioral experiments"). The contribution of either technique over and above exposure only cannot be tested with such design because the inclusion of some exposure strategies prevents the parsing out of components and comparing their effects directly. In another study, Öst and colleagues (1993) assessed differential outcome among three coping skill trainings for patients with PD/A: applied relaxation (AR), in vivo exposure, and CT. Again, CT was intermingled with exposure elements, whereas the in vivo exposure "only" training appeared to be confounded by "instructions for coping with panic during exposure" (p. 387), thus impeding comparative testing. Nonetheless, the results indicated very few differences between in vivo exposure and AR on panic-related measures. On a behavioral measure of fear, AR outperformed CT, whereas in vivo exposure alone did not, suggesting that AR may have augmented exposure to some degree. Other studies have evaluated the effects of applied PMR (i.e., training in PMR combined with instructions to use PMR during in vivo exposure) for PD/A (e.g., Barlow et al., 1989; Milrod et al., 2007), but did not evaluate the additive effects of PMR to in vivo exposure.
Finally, earlier studies (albeit none specifically examining PD/A samples) that compared graduated imaginal exposure with versus without the addition of PMR generally found no differences between the two conditions (e.g., Dawson & McMurray, 1978; Waters, McDonald, & Koresko, 1972; Yates, 1975; see Kazdin & Wilcoxon, 1976; McGlynn, Solomon, & Barrios, 1979, for reviews). These studies provided the basis for abandoning Wolpe's (1958) systematic desensitization approach in favor of more fear-activating approaches to exposure.
In sum, studies that directly test the efficacy of PMR in augmenting are largely absent from the literature. Thus, the degree to which acquisition of PMR skills and their application during exposure therapy augment exposure therapy remains unknown.
In light of the reviewed studies, one may conclude that traditional coping skills either bear no augmenting effect over exposure or their effects upon exposure are unknown in the treatment for PD/A. Constructive, dismantling, and component analysis designs have made important contributions to a preliminary understanding of what treatment components are most and least efficacious in the treatment of PD/A. However, despite their strengths, these studies, which typically fail to show that coping skills augment exposure, are limited not only in number, but in the conclusions that can be drawn using these methodologies. Specifically, the methodologies used to study the augmenting effects of coping skills test the degree to which the delivery of coping skills enhances outcomes; they have not assessed the differential degree to which acquisition of coping skills, and/or their application during exposure therapy enhance outcomes. The extant reliance on the delivery of coping skills training detracts from important questions about the degree to which acquisition and application takes place and the validity of their proposed mechanisms.
To advance our understanding on the potent contributors of change in CBT, there is a need for methodological designs that fully evaluate the role of coping skills training above and beyond the effects of exposure therapy alone. Furthermore, successful delivery of coping skills does not guarantee that the recipient successfully acquires and applies the skills. That is, unless we evaluate the degree to which a skill is actually learned and correctly applied during exposure, it is premature to draw conclusions about its potency. Proper testing of augmenting effects warrants a multiphase approach in which a particular skill is first acquired and then tested in the context of exposure therapy. Only if the skill training is administered in a "pure" format (i.e., not mixed with other skill trainings) can the unique contribution of this skill to exposure be determined. Additionally, the combined treatment needs to be contrasted with an "exposure only" treatment, ideally with a preceding placebo to account for time. Up to this point we have reviewed the additive effect of coping skills to exposure (i.e., improved efficacy), which is only part of the question when looking at augmenting effects. Mediational analyses allow us to look at the relationship between changes in psychological constructs of interest (such as catastrophic misinterpretations) and outcomes.
Kazdin (2007) cogently outlined the importance of mechanism research, including the potential to optimize the way in which treatment is delivered and thereby enhance outcomes. However, despite the invocation for mechanism research, less than a handful of psychosocial intervention studies have tested mediation properly. In the following we examine the meditational evidence for traditional coping skills in PD.
Cognitive strategies are assumed to facilitate exposure by the development of explicit nonthreat appraisals about the mental, physical, or social consequences of panic attacks and related sensations, which in turn encourage approach behavior and lessen distress (e.g., Craske & Barlow, 2008). Thus, both the purported mediator and skill in CT is the ability to reappraise previously feared bodily sensations as nonthreatening.
Most studies of mediation of CT for PD/A merely measure change in purported mediators (i.e., reappraisal) as well as outcomes (i.e., panic symptom reduction) across the same interval of time, from pre- to posttreatment (e.g., Hofmann et al., 2007; Meulenbeek, Spinhoven, Smit, van Balkom, & Cuijpers, 2010; Smits, Powers, Cho, & Telch, 2004; Vögele et al., 2010) or without complete mediation models of analysis (e.g., Clark et al., 1994, 1999; Forman, Herbert, Moitra, Yeomans, & Geller, 2007; Schmidt & Bates, 2003). Among the few studies fulfilling the criteria for mediational analyses is one by Bouchard and colleagues (2007), who found that changes in daily ratings of beliefs about panic preceded and were associated with changes in apprehension about future panic attacks. In another study by Hoffart et al. (2008), fear of bodily sensations influenced catastrophic beliefs, which in turn influenced avoidant behavior. A reduction in the latter decreased the fear of bodily sensations. Finally, evidence for modality-specific pathways was supported in a recent study by Meuret, Rosenfield, et al. (2010). In patients assigned to 4 weeks of exclusive training in cognitive skills, reductions in symptom appraisal mediated improvements in perceived control and panic symptom severity, and vice versa.
These studies, however, relied upon retrospective self-report measures of thoughts and beliefs, which are likely to be confounded by responder biases and demand characteristics, and unlikely to match ongoing, moment-to-moment cognition (Jarrett, Vittengl, Doyle, & Clark, 2007). Additionally, measures such as the Anxiety Sensitivity Index (ASI; Reiss, Peterson, Gursky, & McNally, 1986) capture dispositional characteristics, but not occurrent responding (Fridhandler, 1986). For instance, a person scoring high on the ASI is likely to respond fearfully to bodily sensations and is more likely to catastrophize about them. Notwithstanding, the ASI does not lend evidence to whether such thoughts and feelings are actually occurring in real time. Here, further research on approaches such as the think-aloud paradigm (Davison, Vogel, & Coffman, 1997; Davison, Williams, Nezami, Bice, & DeQuattro, 1991; Williams, Kinney, Harap, & Liebmann, 1997) will allow testing of symptom appraisal in real time. An example for capturing "in-the-moment" appraisals during cognitive skill training and exposure, using the think-aloud technique, is described below (see "Think-Aloud Paradigm").
PMR and BRT are presumed to decrease anxiety by reducing heightened physiological arousal observed in PD/A. Specifically, the purported mediator for BRT is PCO2, which serves as an index of the degree of hyperventilation. The commonly used coping skill is slow, deep, and/or abdominal breathing with the purpose of restoring normal levels of PCO2. For PMR, the purported mediator is muscle tonus, and the coping skill is to "physically relax" with the purpose of restoring a "normal" level of muscle tension. These strategies are assumed to facilitate exposure by physical correction of hyperventilation or muscle tension/autonomic arousal that subsequently attenuate disturbing sensations, thereby encouraging further approach behavior and less distress. Given that the proposed mediators for PMR and BRT are physiological indices, they are subject to objective and direct assessment. However, with the exception of one uncontrolled study (Salkovskis et al., 1986), PCO2 has not been assessed in traditional BRT. In addition to speculations of BRT acting as an impediment to treatment success by inhibiting necessary arousal to facilitate learning during exposure (Craske et al., 1997; Schmidt et al., 2000), experimental research suggests an actual hyperventilation-enhancing effect from traditional breathing techniques. That is, the slowing of respiratory rate, one of the core techniques of traditional BRT, can lead to compensatory deeper breathing that perpetuates/exacerbates hyperventilation in persons with PD/A (Conrad et al., 2007; Ley, 1991; Meuret et al., 2003, 2008). Compensatory overventilation is likely attributable to an exaggerated perception of sensations of "air hunger" (i.e., dyspnea) in patients with PD/A (Klein, 1993).
The few studies that have assessed physiological activity as an outcome measure in PMR generally have not found support for the association between decreased physiological arousal and improvement on psychological outcome measures for PD/A (Beck et al., 1994) or chronic anxiety (Leboeuf & Lodge, 1980). Furthermore, although some studies have found PMR to result in decreased physiological arousal, these decreases are not unique to those treated with PMR. For example, Michelson et al. (1990) observed heart rate decrements after both PMR and in vivo exposure for the treatment of agoraphobia, with no differences between the two treatments. The only studies that have actually evaluated muscle tonus throughout exposure therapy utilized imaginal exposure. In those cases, PMR was associated with increased rather than reduced autonomic arousal (Borkovec & Sides, 1979; Levin & Gross, 1985). However, these studies were not conducted in samples with PD/A, and none of the above studies met criteria for proper meditational testing. Taken together, research elucidating the presumed physiological mediators driving symptom reduction is greatly lacking.
In summary, direct evaluation of the degree to which coping skills are acquired and the degree to which they are applied when confronted with feared situations or sensations, or the degree to which such acquisition and application mediate outcomes from exposure therapy is lacking. Furthermore, there are very few studies in which purported mediators are fully assessed. Consequently, extant data may misrepresent the impact of coping skills in the treatment of PD/A, because outcomes from exposure therapy may indeed be augmented as a function of degree of acquisition and/or application of coping skills. Such measurement would permit evaluation of not only the '"augmentation potential"' of coping skills, but also a thorough evaluation of the degree to which individual differences moderate skill acquisition and application, and thereby outcomes. In the following, we introduce strategies aimed at addressing the above-discussed methodological shortcomings.
There is a pressing need for both objective and online measurement of purported mediators, and evaluation of the degree to which change in those indices are predictive of change in subsequent symptom outcomes. Below we illustrate the implementation of online assessments using examples of two recently developed therapeutic approaches. The first exemplifies the direct manipulation and assessment of dysfunctional respiration, and the second illustrates a novel approach of assessing online thought processes.
In contrast to traditional BRT, capnometry-assisted respiratory training (CART) targets respiratory dysregulation, in particular hypocapnia (Meuret et al., 2008; Meuret, Rosenfield, et al., 2010). CART is a brief, 4-week training that uses immediate feedback of end-tidal PCO2 to teach patients how to raise their subnormal levels of PCO2 (hyperventilation) and thereby gain control over dysfunctional respiratory patterns and associated panic symptoms (e.g., shortness of breath, dizziness). In this respect, CART substantially differs from traditional BRT because it focuses directly on the proposed mediator, PCO2 (see Meuret et al., 2003, for a review). Most importantly for the current review, CART takes advantage of novel technologies that allow the precise assessment and monitoring of core respiratory variables. The device, a portable capnometer, offers breath-by-breath feedback of expired carbon dioxide and rate of breathing (both measured via a nasal canula). Compliance and skill acquisition and application can be assessed by means of electronic data storage. Between-session data are downloaded during the treatment session and presented and discussed with patients. This allows for a unique way to determine whether patients are willing and able to adapt new skills.
Due to the novelty of CART, randomized controlled trials are limited but promising. In a first randomized controlled study, Meuret and colleagues (2008) tested the efficacy of 4 weeks of CART (n = 20) compared to a delayed wait-list (WL) control group (WL, n = 17). CART, but not WL, led to sustained increases in PCO2 levels and reduced panic severity and frequency. Reductions in panic symptom severity (PDSS; Shear et al., 1997) were comparable to standard CBT and improvements were maintained at 12-month follow-up. In a second study, patients with PD/A were randomly assigned to receive either 4 weeks of CART (n = 21) or CT (n = 20). An initial 4 weeks of skills training was followed by three sessions of in vivo exposure and a fourth session at a 2-month follow-up. Respective skill acquisition trainings led to significant and comparable reductions in panic symptom severity and panic-related cognitions, regardless of modality. However, only CART, but not CT, led to a correction of hypocapnic levels of PCO2 (Meuret, Rosenfield, et al., 2010). Similarly, although improvements in panic severity across exposure sessions were large and independent of previously acquired coping skills, normalization in PCO2 was only observed for patients undergoing prior training CART, but not CT (Seidel, Rosenfield, Bhaskara, Hofmann, & Meuret, 2009). Also, PD/A patients (Meuret et al., 2008) and patients with asthma in another capnometry-assisted study (Meuret, Rosenfield, Hofmann, Suvak, & Roth, 2009) demonstrated high compliance with the assigned 17-min, twice-daily homework exercises. The compliance also moderated improvement in panic symptom reduction (Meuret, Hofmann, & Rosenfield, 2010).
Like traditional BRT, PCO2 is presumed to be the primary mediator of CART. Preliminary evidence for this thesis comes from longitudinal mediation analyses indicating that changes in PCO2, measured continuously during between-session exercises, indeed mediated and preceded changes in fear of bodily sensations (Meuret et al., 2009) and cognitive reappraisal of symptoms and perceived control (Meuret et al., 2010) in CART but not CT. Although significantly reduced, reductions in rate of breathing neither mediated reductions in panic fear of bodily sensations (Meuret et al., 2009) nor panic symptom severity or cognitions (including perceived control) (Meuret et al., 2010). Mediation analysis examining changes during exposure showed bidirectional relations for cardiorespiratory changes mediating changes in physical symptom and for cardiac changes mediating changes in cognitive symptoms (Seidel et al., 2009); these pathways were significant and consistent across all exposure sessions. As expected, levels of PCO2 during exposure were significantly greater in CART compared to CT (Seidel et al., 2009).
These findings strengthen the idea that panic symptom reduction can be achieved through different mechanisms. However, an evaluation of the degree to which CART augments exposure therapy (relative to exposure therapy alone) a waits testing. Most importantly, the measurement of changes in PCO2 provides direct, ongoing measurement of purported mechanisms that permits evaluation of the degree to which CART skills are acquired and then applied during in vivo exposure, and the degree to which such acquisition and application mediate symptom outcomes.
In a recent pilot study, we tested the feasibility of a modified and extended version of the think-aloud paradigm (Davison et al., 1991, 1997; Williams et al., 1997). The paradigm is aimed at assessing concurrent, situation-specific, and participant representative thoughts both during skill acquisition and application. This online method of recording verbalizations provides a sample of thinking that differs from the constraints of forced-choice formats and retrospective judgments (e.g., questionnaires), and appears to be less susceptible to responder biases inherent to retrospective judgments. Think-aloud methodologies have been used to evaluate thoughts during experimental exposure to feared situations (Williams et al., 1997) and are considered valid indicators of covert verbalizations when derived from instructions to "say in a continuous stream whatever one is saying to oneself at that moment" (vs. report upon what one thinks one has been saying over a past interval) and limited to brief snippets of time.
The clinical application was tested in a small sample of patients undergoing a brief training in acceptance therapy (Hayes et al., 1999; Segal, Williams, & Teasdale, 2002) followed by six sessions of exposure (Meuret, Twohig, Rosenfield, Hayes, & Craske, submitted for publication). Acceptance-based skill training differs to traditional coping skill training as the emphasis is not on control (e.g., of physiology or thoughts) but rather the acceptance of panic-related sensations and cognitions as they occur from moment to moment. Patients are asked to pay nonjudgmental attention to thoughts, feelings, images, and bodily sensations and learn to see thoughts as an ongoing process distinct from self rather than an event with literal meaning (cognitive defusion). Empirical evidence for the efficacy of acceptance approaches for PD/A has been demonstrated (e.g., Forman et al., 2007; Levitt, Brown, Orsillo, & Barlow, 2004); however, as with cognitive and behaviorally based treatments, both acquisition/application and mechanistic validation of acceptance skills is lacking.
During the first 4 weeks of training, patients were asked to practice willingness to experience internal sensations and apply these techniques using audio-guided exercises. During the twice-daily 15-min between-session exercises, patients recorded whatever was on their mind at prompted, 30-sec intervals (minute: 3, 7, 11), using a digital voice recorder. Recordings, with date and time stamps, were downloaded during the sessions and discussed with the therapist. Think-aloud samples were also recorded, in addition to cardiorespiratory physiology (see Figure 1) during exposures with the instruction to verbalize whatever they were saying to themselves in a continuous stream using a digital voice recorder. The results of this feasibility trial were promising and indicated high compliance with homework exercises and significant improvements in symptom appraisal, mindfulness, and panic symptom severity. The think-aloud paradigm provided valuable data regarding the degree to which patients acquired and applied acceptance-based skills. Notably, the think-aloud paradigm would be equally suitable for cognitive coping skills. In the following, we provide sample data for the physiological and "think-aloud" recordings collected during this pilot trial.
Overall, patients were very receptive to and compliant with the recording devices for their physiology and their verbalizations. Figure 2 illustrates extracts from the prompted verbalizations during the first 4 weeks of acceptance skills training. Data of this type offers much needed insight into the acquisition and application of coping skills and warrants proper meditational testing. Patient 1 offered some dialogue of increased willingness to experience panic sensations and interest in practicing acceptance while having a panic attack. Patient 2 showed a greater grasp of acceptance as taught in this pilot study. These examples illustrate variation in acceptance skills acquisition (at least as verbalized) across patients. Data such as these will be informative for testing the degree to which coping skills acquisition and subsequent application during exposure actually mediate outcomes. Furthermore, they will permit evaluation of which individual difference variables moderate acceptance skill acquisition, and eventual treatment outcomes.
Empirical support for an augmenting effect of traditional coping skills (cognitive and biobehavioral) on exposure is lacking. However, the extant reliance on delivery of coping skills detracts from examining the degree to which acquisition of coping skills and their application during exposure therapy enhance outcomes. At present, implementation of appraisal techniques (as taught in CT) are largely assessed retrospectively; likewise the assessment of core physiological processes (i.e., PCO2 in BRT and muscle tonus in PMR) both during skill training (i.e., between-session exercises) and application (i.e., exposure) is lacking. Furthermore, concurrent testing of various coping skills clouds the testing of their additive effect on exposure. Thus, it is premature to draw conclusions as to whether they augment exposure alone because it remains unclear whether patients learn and apply the taught skills.
In this review, we advocate improved methodologies for examination of augmenting effects of coping skills. In particular, multiphase intervention designs are warranted, in which skill acquisition training precedes exposure, in order to dissect both the potency of the skill training and its contribution to exposure. Additionally, we posit mediational testing to ascertain that the skill in question indeed exerts its effect by means of its proposed mechanism. We have outlined recently developed methodologies and preliminary evidence for objective, online measurements of cognitive (i.e., think-aloud technique) and physiological processes (i.e., therapeutic capnography) to warrant proper assessment of their mechanism and efficacy testing. Understanding how these strategies work will allow researchers to develop more potent and efficacious treatment protocols for PD/A and will inform practicing clinicians about which coping skill will be most effective for which patient, and thereby improve treatment outcomes.
The findings from this review also offer clinical and applied suggestions. The general cognitive-behavioral treatment package is well supported in the treatment of PD/A, and is considered the first-line psychosocial treatment for PD/A. The choice to focus on cognitive distortions, ineffective breathing patterns, or neither could very reasonably be based on the presentation of the patient. Whatever choice the therapist and patient make, it is also suggested that some method to track the psychological process of change, in addition to outcomes, be utilized. This review suggests that these augmentation techniques are trained, but that their adoption and implementation are generally not tracked. It would behoove therapists to dually focus on what is being learned in the exposure exercises in addition to the outcomes that are being achieved. This can be accomplished with standardized measures, biomedical technology, or by using think-aloud techniques as described herein.
The pilot study mentioned is in part funded by the generous support of the Beth and Russell Siegelman Foundation (Meuret).
1Studies testing the efficacy of BRT in patients diagnosed with hyperventilation syndrome (HVS; Kraft & Hoogduin, 1984; Folgering, Lenders, & Rosier, 1980; Grossman, de Swart, & Defares, 1985; Han, Stegen, de Valck, Clement, & Van de Woestijne, 1996; van Doorn, Folgering, & Colla, 1982), even though promising, are not included here as the diagnostic entity and relationship of HVS to PD remains debated (Bass, 1997; Spinhoven, Onstein, Sterk, & le Haen-Versteijnen, 1993).

She might be one of those people who are really hard on themselves and can't forgive themselves. Or (I don't know her) she could have blamed herself in the hope that you would comfort and forgive her. Or maybe even a mix of the two.
But either way, cheating doesn't have a very strict definition. There are grey areas and I think my advice would be to put it aside, stop wondering if it was cheating or not, and discuss what would be cheating or not from now on, so that you can be sure you're on the same page now.
I don't think personal opinions are very relevant, but I will share mine for those who are curious: I think if you were hiding something because you thought it was wrong, even if the person would have been fine with it it was a form of cheating. If things happened without you noticing and you were not trying to hide it, though, even if after the fact you feel terrible I don't think it was cheating. Cheating is, in my opinion, something you have to actively do, or actively refuse to prevent.

The following post is written by Rachel Go at Hubstaff — a company that really makes social media management work as a remote team.
Social media is an online realm in itself, so it makes sense that a completely virtual team can manage a brand's social media presence. At Hubstaff, we're a 100% distributed team with a great audience on Twitter and Facebook. Here's how we tackle social media management with our remote team.
Day-to-day social media management
In a remote team, the keys to success are accountability and ownership. This holds true for how we handle social media management as well.
In the early days, and when the responsibility of maintaining our social media profiles was a shared one, there was a lot of confusion. No one really understood who was the best person to respond to messages and Tweets, or who should have been looking out for spam.
Once the role of social media coordinator fell squarely to one person, things got much simpler. If someone wanted to post something, there was now one go-to person to reach out to. Instead of checking the schedule every day to make sure we weren't posting an update too closely to another one, one person knew everything that had to go out, by when, and whether it would conflict with another post.
Not only was it simpler, it was more efficient. Since everything related to social media fell to me, I could create a daily checklist of things to do, complete the checklist twice a day, and keep everything up-to-date myself. It saves both me and my teammates time and effort.
Here are a few things that should be on your social media checklist;
- Check for spam on your Facebook page
- Check all Facebook notifications
- Like or respond to all Facebook wall posts, mentions, and replies to your posts
- Look through your Twitter notifications and like and/or respond to all your mentions
- Take a look at your home feeds on Twitter and Facebook to see if there are any opportunities to engage
- Check your Facebook insights and Twitter analytics for best times to post
- Take a quick look at some of your competitor's profiles
How we encourage engagement
We show personality
Social media is all online, but in order to truly engage your followers you have to understand the offline aspects as well. For example, it's hard to get a sense of what our remote team's personality is like, so we posted some photos of what each of our workstations looks like. This helps us show our followers that we aren't just a voice on the Internet, but real people behind our product.
We're present
More than just sending out an endless stream of links to our blog, we try to share useful tips that we get from around the web, snippets of interesting info, and more. We also respond to people who speak to us, and that generates a lot of engagement in itself. When it comes to Twitter, we see great people sharing our articles every day, and some of them tag us. When someone shares our content, we reach out with a thank you, which opens up opportunities to connect and engage with them further.
We ask questions
We love hearing from our followers! It's always interesting to see where different people come from, the range of professions, and all the different uses people have for Hubstaff. However, most of our followers wouldn't know how to interact with us if we didn't make the first move. We regularly ask questions like; where are you working from today, what are your best freelancing tips, and what's your favorite perk of remote work.
Where's the ideal place for you to work? A home office? Coffee shop? Coworking space? On the beach? #GoRemote pic.twitter.com/BpEjkB7txQ
— Hubstaff.com (@Hubstaff) April 28, 2016
And when people take the time to answer our question, we take the time to read what they say and respond.
We address problems
Social media is an excellent marketing tool, but it also flows into the realm of customer service. Many people reach out on social media if they're having problems with our tool, because they know social media is a 24/7 channel with almost immediate results. If they want to get a hold of someone quickly, social media is a great go-to (even though it isn't always in the company's best interests to have issues out in a public space).
So we respond to any complaints, problems, or questions on our social media channels as quickly as possible. In fact, we integrated our Facebook messages with Intercom, so that the messages go directly to our support team for faster responses. Even if we don't have an answer right then, we still respond to let them know we've heard them and are going to investigate.
Measuring success
Is there a point in putting time and effort into something when you don't see results. Well, this is debatable, but we try to make sure we have ROI measures in place to make sure we can identify what is working well, and what isn't.
Here's what I measure to track the success of our social efforts.
- Number of visitors sent to our main website
- Number of visitors sent to our blog
- Overall Twitter and Facebook followers
- Engagement on Twitter; likes, retweets, replies
- Mentions on Twitter and Facebook
- Engagement on Facebook; comments, reactions, shares
- Link clicks on Twitter and Facebook (this is different from the number of visitors sent to our website, because often we share links to other websites)
We look at growth over time, tracking these numbers month-to-month. No one expects giant leaps in engagement every week (although they are nice every now and then), we need to see steady growth. If engagement falls, or stagnates for too long, we take a look at what we've been posting recently versus what we posted in the past, and analyze what might be happening.
Managing social media with a remote team makes sense, and can be incredibly efficient when you understand the strategy of it and employ the right tools. It doesn't need to be much different from a co-located social media team, just continue to engage your followers, measure results, and consistently share useful, relevant information.
Are you part of a remote team? How do you manage your social? Let us know in the comments!

It was a double whammy of new record releases at the Great American Music Hall for the Dead Winter Carpenters and The Sam Chase and the Untraditional.
The Grateful Dead's 1977 Spring Tour is considered my many to be one of their best.
The first night of this three-night Dark Star Orchestra run at the Boulder Theater was powerful, exciting, and fun. They played the first night of Red Rocks 1978, which was on August 30th, and it featured the first time ever played "'I Need a Miracle," "Stagger Lee," and "If I Had the World to Give." Many of the patrons of the Boulder Theater were extremely happy as the buzz went around the venue of which show it was.
On their third album City Painted Gold, San Francisco string-benders The Brothers Comatose have deepened their rocking acoustic prowess to new heights. The musical comradery between banjo and guitar-slinging brothers Alex and Ben Morrison renders authentic each time they step onstage.
Assembly of Dust (AOD) will be releasing their latest offering of live concert cuts in Tales From The Oregon Trail on May 3, a demonstration of when the jamband legends brought their face-melting folk-rock to Portland, Oregon. While the lineup has changed a bit over the years, the current lineup brings the same level a musicianship, energy, and improvisation that AOD has been known for since their formation in 2002. AOD was create
Almost a decade ago, in a blissful oddity odyssey, master jazz pianist Chick Corea began collaborating with the greatest living banjo player Béla Fleck. It wasn't quite as peculiar in Fleck's world, as the genre-abolishing maestro's band The Flecktones thrived on inexplicable instrumental possibilities. He had also previously toured with Americana pianist and bandleader Bruce Hornsby.
Phish has been my favorite band for the last 20 years. Since then, I have seen them 179 times. In addition, I have been a fan of jazz music since I was born. My grandfather was a jazz guitarist with Artie Shaw and a few other big bands in Philadelphia.
Four years into the Terrapin Crossroads experience, a multipurpose Marin County destination at which proprietor Phil Lesh of The Grateful Dead fame presides, the grand opening of the venue's Backyard took place on April 17 in sunny, celebratory fashion with a headlining three-set Phil Lesh & Friends concert.
Sammy Saltzman is no stranger to music. For two decades he has been in the front row watching one of the best guitar players of all-time, Trey Anastasio shred during Phish's concerts. He has turned his love of live music into a passion that he shares with his own fans covering his favorite albums all by himself. Sammy is very humble though, he will tell you that he is not a one man band and that he has a production crew, which takes his shows to another level.
Set to release May 27, 2016 is The Urban Voodoo Machine's fourth album Hellbound Hymns; this album is London's very own child of anarchy. With psychedelic jazz and blues comes twisted tales of fate vocalized by the ever-talented Mr. Paul – Ronney Angel. Thirteen tracks of booze fueled nights full of debauchery and ravishingly powerful groove fueling rhythms.

Obviously, you didn't buy your E500 unless you knew that you wanted long-lasting quality and dependability both impeccably combined into one automobile. Mercedes-Benz automobile owners have become used to a certain level of performance when driving their E500 around town.
What were once luxury items on select cars have now become standard equipment for every car sold in the US. Your Mercedes-Benz E500 tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) is one of these devices. If you have ever seen a light on your instrument panel that looks like an exclamation mark inside of a flat tire, that is your tire pressure monitoring system sensor telling you that one of your tires needs air. After filling up the tire the light should shut off; if not, then you will have to replace your Mercedes-Benz E500 TPMS sensors.

Canned Biscuit Dough Donuts and Holes
Recipe by internetnut
I made these one evening when I so wanted donuts. These are so good. I can't have confectioners' sugar so I covered my donuts with Splenda and cinnamon. I didn't have the large can of donuts so I used the little can. Be sure to watch these as they tend to float to the bottom of the kettle and stick to the bottom. I got this recipe from Food Network.
Top Review by cofender
Absolutely loved these donuts! I had heard of this idea of making donuts out of biscuits from a close friend. Sounded like a good idea so when I saw this recipe, I finally decided to go for it. Was so easy and quick. I used jumbo biscuits and used a small plastic lid similar to a bottle cap to cut the middles out. I fried mine on both sides for about 20-25 seconds. I also used a nonstick skillet with about an inch or a little less of canola oil, heated to med-high on an electric burner. Also fried the donut holes too. they took much less time on either side, maybe 10 seconds if that. i used powdered sugar as coating on 1/2 of the donuts and the others i used a cinnamon-sugar combo. I coated the donut holes with the cinnamon sugar. i don't eat a lot of fried foods but i will definitely make these often for a sweet treat anytime. thanks!

Ingredients Nutrition
- peanut oil, for frying
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1⁄4 cup sugar
- 2 cups confectioners' sugar, divided
- 5 tablespoons milk, divided
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1⁄4 cup cocoa powder
- 14 ounces buttermilk biscuits (2 large cans)
- colored sprinkles
- chocolate sprinkles
Directions See How It's Made
- Heat 2 inches peanut oil in a large pot or Dutch oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a shallow bowl, stir together the ground cinnamon and sugar and set aside. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup of confectioners' sugar, 2 tablespoons of milk and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, set aside. This is the vanilla icing. In another bowl, whisk together 1 cup of confectioners' sugar, 1/4 cup of cocoa powder and 3 tablespoons of milk and set aside. This is the chocolate icing.
- Lay out the biscuits on a cutting board and with a 1 1/2-inch round cookie or biscuit cutter, cut out a hole from the middle of each biscuit. Fry them in the oil until golden and then flip with tongs to fry the other side. You can even fry the donut holes. Drain on paper towels and then toss in the cinnamon-sugar or ice and decorate with sprinkles, as desired.

Modeling 3-D supersonic models
dear all I wish to analyse the lift and drag of a rocket nose cone travelling at Mach 3.6. What is the best way to set up a 3-D Fluent model to accuratly determine the forces acting on the nose cone? Thanks in advance.
Re: Modeling 3-D supersonic models
A few things that I'd do: Use absorbing Riemann-based boundary conditions - Fluent calls them "Far-Field" boundary conditions. Use the coupled solver. Use a turbulence model which doesn't go crazy in shocks and other regions with strong acceleration/deceleration, ie don't use the standard k-epsilon model.

IKEA's new catalog is hands down the best new gadget in town.
IKEA has come up with a clever new ad for their 2015 catalog. They have incorporated an Apple like over-the-top technique for their new video ad and the result is hilarious.
You will love it and end up wishing to experience the latest catalogue-nay-'bookbook' by the furniture/household brand.
"The 2015 IKEA catalog comes fully charged, and the battery is eternal," says a suave looking executive named Jörgen Eghammer. "The navigation is based on tactile touch technology that you can actually feel," he adds.
Brilliantly done we say. Check it out above.

Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 824889
[eap6] outbound socket-bindings are not listed
Last modified: 2015-11-01 19:42:50 EST
Description of problem: I am running EAP6 in standalone mode(full profile) and I cannot see 'Outbound remote' and 'Outbound local' socket bindings under 'standart-sockets' resource.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Actual results: only 'Inbound' socket bindings are listed/supported
Expected results:
mail-smtp (Outbound bindng) should be listed within all bindings, when adding a binding user should specify binding type. Also, other resources, their configuration refers to outbound bindings could be altered so UI provides radios/combos to pickup a binding. (Same way as it is in configuration of web connector and inbound bindings)
Workaround exists in that the user manually provides the name of the outbound binding in the text box.
Unfortunately we don't list them, so the user needs to find them e.g. via console
master 77d51c1
Bulk closing of items that are on_qa and in old RHQ releases, which are out for a long time and where the issue has not been re-opened since.

Nikhil of Happy Days fame and Mumbai model Aksha are in the lead. The second schedule was also wrapped up in Hyderabad. The producer said, Though our film is titled Yuvatha, it has all kinds of elements that could attract every type of audience. Manisharma has given melodious tunes to all the songs. Though a debutant, Parasuram moulded the film like an experienced director. So far, we have completed 60 per cent of shooting. We are planning the next schedule from May 26. Director Parasuram says, Our film is a college-based story. Nikhils role would represent todays youth and the film would reflect the mentalities and tastes of the present generation. M.S. Narayana, Srinivasa Reddy, Jeeva, Karuna, Sayaji Shinde, Jayaprakash Reddy, Ranadhir, Subhash, Narasimha and others are in the supporting cast. Editing is by Marthand K.
