APA's Smart Growth Reader
The term, 'smart growth' is everywhere... "stirring up strong emotions, pro and con, and everyone seems to have a unique take on what it means, where it came from, whether we need it, and how it is carried out. Yet there is no doubt that, however defined, it is signifying a sea change in how we plan America's communities.As an aid to taking in this vast topic, APA has prepared this reader, drawing on articles that have appeared in APA own publications over the past two years: Planning, the PAS Memo, Zoning News, and Land Use Law & Zoning Digest.Intended as a compendium of perspectives on the smart growth, the reader is grouped into seven sections, from Definitions and Critiques to Center Cities."
Thanks to Chris Steins

Canucks handle OilersFeb 20, 2012 - 5:26 AM
Sami Salo, Kevin Bieksa and Chris Higgins also scored, and Alexandre Burrows added a pair of assists for the Canucks, who have won four straight and seven of their last eight. Cory Schneider made 26 saves in the victory.
"A lot of credit goes to my teammates," Schneider said. "They took care of things instead of me having to make big saves."
Shawn Horcoff and Magnus Paajarvi scored for the Oilers, who have lost three straight and five of their last six. Nikolai Khabibulin gave up two goals on 17 shots before leaving the game in the first period with a groin injury. Devan Dubnyk was tagged for three goals on 14 shots in relief.
Vancouver struck first just 53 seconds into the game after Burrows chased down the loose disc in the left corner, dished it to Daniel Sedin, who found his brother wide open in front and Henrik Sedin tapped it in.
Skating with a 5-on-3 man advantage, the Canucks extended their lead to 2-0 at 6:34 of the first stanza when Henrik Sedin sent a perfect feed to Salo, who wristed it past Khabibulin from the slot.
Edmonton cut its deficit to 2-1 just 1:08 into the second period after Tom Gilbert threw a shot on net from the right point that wound up on the stick of Ryan Smyth in front. Smyth quickly sent it to Horcoff, who deposited it into an empty cage.
The Canucks though, restored their two-goal lead with 4:59 left in the second period when Bieksa ripped a slap shot from the point that got through Dubnyk courtesy of a perfect screen in front by Dale Weise.
Higgins then made it 4-1 when he got a perfect feed in the slot from Jannik Hansen and ripped a wrist shot over the shoulder of Dubnyk with 3:20 to play in the period.
Paajarvi pulled the Oilers within two with a one-timer off a 3-on-2 rush that squeezed through Schneider, but Sedin put the game away just 33 seconds into the final stanza when he jumped on a loose puck in the slot and fired a slap shot past Dubnyk.
"I thought we did a good job of fighting back," Horcoff said. "In the second period, we were right in the game. We were too aggressive in certain areas and we were too soft in our own zone for sure. We turned pucks over and gave them too many easy chances to score."
Game Notes
Vancouver improved to 25-0-0 when leading after two periods this season...Schneider has won 11 of his last 12 games...The Canucks have won six straight on the road...The Sedin twins have combined for 12 points in their last two games...Vancouver finished 1-for-5 with the man advantage, while the Oilers failed to convert on their only power play chance...Vancouver will visit the Nashville Predators on Tuesday, while the Oilers will play the Calgary Flames on Tuesday.

Helicopters, like taxis, are never around when you need one. I'm at Bagram airbase in Afghanistan, waiting for a ride north, to a base in the mountains, from where I'll be embedded with US troops and reporting for the rest of the month.
But for now I sit: the mountain passes, the insurgents, the hunt for Bin Laden, all of that, will have to wait. While I'm unescorted around the base, I'm under reporting restrictions: no wandering over to the runway, no talking to coalition forces, and no stories here without first checking them with the public affairs officers.
I'm especially not allowed to take my cameras out of their bags: there are too many CIA and Special Forces types wandering around, I'm told, and it was only last week, reportedly, that a Sunday Times journalist was kicked off her own embed, after her photographer took shots of Special Forces training on a range. I'm not inclined to push my luck.
Which is tiresome, as Bagram is more of a dreary university campus than a military encampment - the CIA prisons somewhere nearby notwithstanding. The atmosphere lacks the restrained aggro of British camps, replacing it with a Burger King, two hairstylists, gift shops, a coffee bar, and the general store selling souvenir mugs, beef jerky, and the inexplicably shocking pregnancy test kits.
The US Army personnel are assigned there for year-long stints, compared to the British six months, and it shows in their determination to recreate the comforts of home, or at least distract themselves from the gap between the ra-ra talk of Sacrifice for the Sake of Freedom, and their more banal daily duties. Stay here long enough, and you can take advantage of college courses in biology, restaurant service, business studies; salsa classes; amateur dramatics; gospel choirs; a pool hall. This Sunday, should you be around, there's the Bagram brass band concert - they're playing Sousa. The stand-up comedians arrive next week.
That's not to say the American troops are soft. Far from it. But there are two distinct types around camp. There's the large, fit, and scary, who keep themselves to themselves, and walk with purpose. And there's schlumpy, young, uniform-too-big, how-old-are-you-son, are-you-meant-to-be-up-this-late school-leavers who really should be at home. The American uniform, and the length of the M16 rifle that almost everyone carries, makes all but the largest of men look like they raided their elder brother's dressing-up box.
Apart from the Americans, and some Poles, the other large group here are the local Afghan contractors. Again, I'm not allowed to talk to them, and pictures are right out, not without reason: as with Special Forces, identification could mean death. Yesterday, while driving home, eight Afghans who had been working at the US base at Korungal, in the north of the country, were robbed and then shot. Abdul Sapoor, the deputy police chief of Kunar province, where the attack happened, did not say who had done it, according to Associated Press, only saying it was "the enemy".

Well, I've done my best for now on the new skin for this Wiki. I'll continue to improve it over the coming days and by the time it's made mandatory next month, hopefully it will be looking its best. You can activate the new skin now by going to your preferences and changing to "New Wikia Skin" under the skin section. The version you see now WILL change.
Please note that it IS NOT the decision of any administrators on this Wiki to change skin, but the decision of Wikia. This skin is being introduced on ALL Wikis across the internet, and all old Wikia skins will be deleted at the beginning of November.

The Only Arm Day Workout You'll Ever Need
Arm day. Mention this gun-centered workout and you'll likely get one of two responses.
Response #1: "HAHAHAHA! You have an arm day? That's so bro split of you… Bro!"
Response #2: "Yes! Welcome to the gun show! Let's do this up right!"
While arm days are a staple of bodybuilding bro splits, they are often scoffed at by the "elite," I know better than that lifter. You know the type. He owns every Mark Rippetoe book, sticks to frequency training because muscle protein synthesis is the only training variable that could ever possibly matter, yet his three lift total is still lingering below a level that the average hardcore "bodybuilding bro" has reached.
Oops, I just said that. Mostly because it's true.
Look, I've been in this game 31 years. This is long enough to learn one thing… Programs aren't as important as a lifter's head and heart. If you have the drive to destroy the iron and build massive amounts of strength and muscle, you'll do just that.
Optimal might be optimal, but it's never as productive as an intense desire to succeed.
I've trained with dozens of successful natural bodybuilding competitors. You know what I've found? Most of them have a three lift total equal to, or even better than most natural powerlifters who are at, or around, the same body weight.
Crunch! That kick in the testicles hurt, didn't it? But it reveals a truth. Do you want the truth? I hope so. Here it is…
Drive trumps everything.
With that established, if you're driven and still like arm days, this workout is for you. It's not the best workout in the history of bodybuilding. The term "best" is always relative. But if you're looking for a go to program, this arm day session is the only one you'll ever need.
Arm Day Workout
Here is a run down of the program.
- Big Hitter
- Volume Beat Down
- Brutal Block Training
- Burnout
Big Hitters
Close Grip Bench Press. Here we start off with a big hitter to challenge the triceps. This compound movement will heavily tax the biggest muscle group of the arms… Your tricepticons.
Perform 3 sets. Using the same weight for each set, push to try and nail 12 reps per set. When you can achieve this goal, add 5 pounds to the bar the next time you perform this movement.
Reverse Grip Lat Pulldown. A compound movement that mimics the chin up, reverse grip lat pull downs are a great way to kick off your bicep gains. As you pull the weight down, concentrate on placing tension on the biceps during both the concentric and eccentric portion of the movement.
Perform 3 sets. Use the same weight for each set. Add a small amount of weight when you are able to knock out 12 reps for all of the sets.
Volume Beat Down
Lying Triceps Extensions. This variation is a little bit different than skullcrushers. Instead of lowering an EZ bar to your nose, bring the bar back and down to about the middle point of the top of the skull.
From here, rotate the arms and extend the weight. The long head of the triceps are designed to both rotate the arms and extend. We want to challenge them by hammering both functions.
Perform 5 sets of 15 reps and add weight when possible.
Dumbbell Curls. Perform these either standing or seated. Alternate between arms. Add weight when you can knock out 15 reps on all 5 sets.
Block Training
Block training is performed using a rest-pause style. Perform as many reps as possible during a two minute window. Rest as needed. Add weight when it makes sense.
For cable triceps extensions you can use a rope attachment, EZ bar attachment, or a straight bar. For preacher curls stick to an EZ bar attachment if possible.
Burnout Set
The goal here is to complete 100 total reps without setting the weight down. Consider this your pump-inducing finisher. Make sure to use a weight that is light enough to allow you to survive this set.
Maintain a good, solid pace and don't rush the reps too quickly. Feel the burn!
|Triceps and Biceps

|Reverse Grip Lat Pull Down

|2 minutes

I just did this workout today. By the end, it was very humbling, but my arms are pulsing and pumped.
going to stick with it a few weeks and see what kind of progress I make on it. So far it really hits everything I want in arms, in a way that not boring, and really by the end of the burnout sets, I was DONE.
Thanks for the great workout's.

When Camilla's dream job has been stolen from her, she was miserable. When her first boyfriend she's been dating for two months dumped her, she was hopeless.Jobless and still single at the age of twenty-eight, she decided to woman up and live her life for once. Armed with nothing but an oversize backpack, her six year old black Chevy, a bloody-red-two-piece bikini, a key to their family's vacation house and a box of chocolate flavored condom--in case she got lucky--and she was out to find herself.
What she didn't expect is to find herself in a middle of nowhere and in a complicated situation with a gorgeous, chocolate-eyed, man of every-girls-wet-dreams that screams trouble and oh boy, how she wanted to scream.
Four weeks. Three rules. Two broken hearts. And one vacation house.
Join Camilla as she creates her own destiny.

I've received a lot of requests lately to push out more web and UI/UX designs. This can be a bit tricky since you're quite limited by the amount of new work coming out. But today I finally have the pleasure to set loose a brand new UI/UX gallery with 24 really nice designs. The last 13 pieces are all animated and therefor very, very large in file size. This will in return make the page quite slow, so please sit tight while it loads.

Deputy Speaker Chandima Weerakkody says that even if the Chief Justice and her lawyers refrain from PSC activities, the PSC will meet at 1.30 p.m. today.
The Deputy Speaker said that the Chief Justice could appear before the PSC again today.
The Deputy Speaker also said that before the PSC began its investigations it had on the request of the Chief Justice given a period of 22 days for presenting respondent's oral submissions.
While the PSC considering the impeachment charges against the Chief Justice met for the 4th time yesterday, Chief Justice Dr. Shirani Bandaranayake appeared before the PSC for the third time.
The Chief Justice and her team of lawyers who had come to the parliamentary complex for giving evidence before the PSC that met at 2.30 p.m. boycotted the PSC activities after a few hours.
Chief Justice's lawyer Saliya Peiris said that the Chief Justice boycotted the PSC as she had no trust in it.
On this occasion the Chief Justice's lawyers said that the Government representatives at the PSC had handed over to them documents pertaining to the Chief Justice's bank accounts and assets and liabilities.
On this occasion the lawyers had requested the PSC that they need time for examining the said documents.
Our news team also inquired from deputy speaker Chandima Weerakkody about the PSC's activities if the Chief Justice does not appear before the PSC.
Meanwhile the four Opposition MPs representing the PSC are scheduled to meet this forenoon for discussing about the next line of action to be taken with regard to PSC on impeachment against the Chief Justice..
Sources said that TNA leader R. Sambandan, the two UNP MPs representing the PSC John Amaratunga and Lakshman Kiriella are scheduled to meet Opposition Leader Ranil Wickremesinghe this forenoon for holding a discussion as well.

Characteristics of non-fatal self-poisoning in Sri Lanka: a systematic review
Health behavior, health promotion and society
The rate of non-fatal self-poisoning in Sri Lanka has increased in recent years, with associated morbidity and economic cost to the country. This review examines the published literature for the characteristics and factors associated with non-fatal self-poisoning in Sri Lanka.
Electronic searches were conducted in Psychinfo, Proquest, Medline and Cochrane databases from inception to October 2011.
26 publications (representing 23 studies) were eligible to be included in the review. A majority of studies reported non-fatal self-poisoning to be more common among males, with a peak age range of 10–30 years. Pesticide ingestion was the most commonly used method of non-fatal self-poisoning. However three studies conducted within the last ten years, in urban areas of the country, reported non-fatal self-poisoning by medicinal overdose to be more common, and also reported non-fatal self-poisoning to be more common among females. Interpersonal conflict was the most commonly reported short-term stressor associated with self-poisoning. Alcohol misuse was reported among males who self-poisoned, and data regarding other psychiatric morbidity was limited.
The findings indicate that pesticide ingestion is the commonest method of non-fatal self-poisoning in Sri Lanka, and it is more common among young males, similar to other Asian countries. However there appears to be an emerging pattern of increasing medicinal overdoses, paralleled by a gender shift towards increased female non-fatal self-poisoning in urban areas.
Many non-fatal self-poisoning attempts appear to occur in the context of acute interpersonal stress, with short premeditation, and associated with alcohol misuse in males. Similar to other Asian countries, strategies to reduce non-fatal self-poisoning in Sri Lanka require integrated intervention programs with several key aspects, including culturally appropriate interventions to develop interpersonal skills in young people, community based programs to reduce alcohol misuse, and screening for and specific management of those at high risk of repetition following an attempt of self-poisoning.
Sri Lanka has a high rate of suicide, which reached a peak in 1995, at 47 per 100,000 population
Over the past 40 years, several studies have investigated the incidence rates and factors associated with non-fatal self-poisoning in Sri Lanka
The main aim of this systematic review is to examine relevant published literature, in order to describe the rates, socio-demographic characteristics, risk factors such as psychiatric morbidity and previous self-harm associated with non-fatal self-poisoning in Sri Lanka. Based on the findings of this review, we also discuss non-fatal self-poisoning in Sri Lanka in the context of non-fatal self-poisoning patterns internationally, with particular reference to cross national World Health Organization studies relevant to attempted suicide
Search strategy for identification of studies
Electronic searches were conducted across bibliographic databases, namely Psychinfo, ProQuest Central, Medline and the Cochrane library from inception to 31st October 2011. Eligible studies published in indexed journals in the English language were located using combinations of the following MeSH terms and keywords: self-poisoning, suicide attempt, attempted suicide, Sri Lanka, Ceylon (Figure
Figure 1
Flow diagram for literature search and review
Flow diagram for literature search and review.
Inclusion criteria
For the purposes of this review, the term 'non-fatal self-poisoning' is defined as self-poisoning attempts that were carried out intentionally, but with a non-fatal outcome. Thus, studies focusing on intentional, non-fatal self-poisoning in Sri Lanka, published in indexed journals, were eligible for inclusion in this review. Studies were also included if they reported on both accidental and intentional poisoning, provided that the intentional self-poisoning group could be clearly delineated for separate examination. Given the limited number of studies available, and to be as inclusive as possible, studies were included which exclusively considered survivors of intentional self-poisoning attempts, as well as those which considered participants who attempted intentional self-poisoning irrespective of outcome (i.e., which included those who survived as well as those who later died). No study was excluded on methodological grounds alone, and the search strategy included all types of study designs, including clinical trials, cross sectional descriptive studies and retrospective surveys.
The terminology used to describe suicidal behaviour and self-poisoning in Sri Lankan literature (as in the rest of the world) tends to vary considerably. Terms such as suicidal attempt, self-harm and self-poisoning are often used interchangeably and without accompanying definitions, and in many articles the degree of suicidal intent underlying the act is implied rather than described. In order to be as inclusive as possible, this review considered for inclusion all studies that focused on intentional, non-fatal self-poisoning in Sri Lanka, regardless of the terminology used to describe the behaviour. This included studies in which suicidal intent associated with self-poisoning was overtly stated, as well as studies in which suicidal intent was implied, based on the behaviour of the participants concerned.
Exclusion criteria
Studies were excluded from the review if they were not conducted in Sri Lanka, if they were not written in English or if they exclusively reported data or outcomes which focused only on the medical management of acute self-poisoning. Since the aim of this review is to examine factors associated with non-fatal intentional self-poisoning in Sri Lanka, studies which focused solely on accidental poisoning, as well as those which focused solely on fatal self-poisoning or completed suicides in Sri Lanka were also excluded.
Analysis strategy
A data extraction sheet was created, in order to code relevant information from each study included in the review, in a consistent manner. Outcomes of interest included study design, nature and size of sample, gender and age distribution, rates of self-poisoning, types of poison ingested and where available, degree of suicidal intent associated with the act, and factors associated with self-poisoning, such as triggers, psychiatric morbidity and alcohol use disorders. The method of assessment of outcomes such as psychiatric morbidity and alcohol use disorders was also noted for each study. Each included publication was scrutinized by one author (TR) initially, and relevant data was extracted and tabulated for each study, using the data extraction sheet. Subsequently the data extraction and articles were reviewed by all three authors, and areas of contention were discussed and decided upon jointly by all three authors.
As described above (Figure
Rates of self-poisoning and repetition
Seven studies reported rates of self-poisoning (Tables
The WHO SUPRE-MISS Study
Substances used for self-poisoning
All except two studies
When considering patterns of substances ingested over time, studies published up to the turn of the century reported pesticides to be the most commonly ingested substance, irrespective of gender or region where the study was conducted (Table
Overall pesticide ingestion occurred more commonly among males than females, whereas medicinal overdoses, and the ingestion of plant poisons and petroleum derivatives was more common among females
Three studies directly examined reasons for choice of poison in those who attempted poisoning, and in all three studies, the most commonly cited reason for choice was easy availability
Socio-demographic factors
Age distribution Of the studies included in this review, 19 described the age distribution of those who carried out non-fatal self-poisoning. Four studies reported a peak age range of 15–24 years
Gender distribution All but one study
Rural versus urban No studies made direct comparisons between non-fatal self-poisoning in rural versus urban areas. Most studies (11 of the 23) were conducted in rural agricultural areas of the country. In the rurally-based studies, the rate of non-fatal self-poisoning was higher in males than females, and the most frequently ingested substance was pesticide. Of the remaining studies, five reported results from urban areas prior to 20 years ago (1985, 1976, 1971 & 1977), and the results of these studies were similar–pesticide ingestion was the most common mode of non-fatal self-poisoning
Psychiatric morbidity Nine of the twenty-three studies in this review reported psychiatric morbidity and alcohol use among those with non-fatal self-poisoning (Table
Premeditation, triggering factors and suicidal intent
Four (of the twenty-three) studies reported the duration of premeditation prior to the self-poisoning act
Six studies identified triggers that precipitated the non-fatal self-poisoning act
Intent to die (at the time of the attempt) was directly reported in only two studies. One of these studies which reported on participants after non-fatal self-poisoning by ingestion of any substance, found that 55.7% wished to die (and 27% retained that wish after surviving the act)
Rates, and types of poisons used
Despite the reported drop in completed suicide rates in Sri Lanka after 1995
Direct country comparisons between rates of non-fatal self-poisoning require carefully interpretation. First, in the Sri Lankan studies, most rates are based on regional samples, and are not necessarily generalizable to the entire country. Data from 1979 showed hospital admission rates for pesticide poisoning to be highest in the North of the country
As expected, when considered overall, the most commonly ingested substance with regards to non-fatal self-poisoning in Sri Lanka was pesticides (Table
Demographic factors of those who attempt self-poisoning
There are both similarities and differences in the patterns of demographic characteristics among non-fatal self-poisoning in Sri Lanka and other countries. In Sri Lanka non-fatal self-poisoning is seen predominantly among young adults aged between 15 and 30 years. This is similar to self-poisoning patterns described elsewhere, in both the developed and developing world
By contrast, the gender distribution of non-fatal self-poisoning in Sri Lanka differs from that in Western countries. In the majority (14) of the studies included in the review, the rate of non-fatal self-poisoning in Sri Lanka was greater in males than females. This is the reverse of the findings from Western countries
The reason for the higher rate of non-fatal self-poisoning among males in Sri Lanka is not clear. One possible influencing factor is the pattern of alcohol consumption in this country. Sri Lanka is reported to have a high level of alcohol consumption, as indicated by an increase in alcohol related health problems in recent years
When examining the gender ratios according to region, Sri Lankan evidence indicates that the rates of non-fatal self-poisoning in males are higher than females primarily in rural agricultural areas of the country. Again the reasons for this are unclear. One hypothesis is that men living and working in rural agricultural areas have easy access to pesticides stored in the fields or gardens. Previous work has also suggested that continued exposure to pesticides itself may increase suicidal ideation
In contrast to the findings from the rural agricultural areas, two studies conducted relatively recently in urban areas of Sri Lanka
Premeditation and precipitating factors
The most common associated or precipitating trigger for non-fatal self-poisoning in Sri Lanka was interpersonal conflict, most commonly with a close family member. In contrast, reportedly less than 5% of self poisoning was precipitated by financial difficulties
The available evidence suggests that non-fatal self-poisoning in Sri Lanka is associated with brief premeditation. The two studies in this review, which examined suicidal intent associated with the non-fatal self-poisoning, reported conflicting result
Risk of repetition and psychiatric morbidity
Prospective follow up data from South Asia on suicide attempts following an index suicide attempt is limited. The only prospective study of non-fatal self-poisoning in Sri Lanka, found that the repetition rate of 4% following an index episode of non-fatal self poisoning in Sri Lanka, which is comparable to repetition rates reported for Yungcheng in China and Chennai, India
The evidence available suggests that rates for depression in those who self-poison in Sri Lanka are low
Alcohol use disorders have been reported to be associated with self-poisoning behavior in Sri Lanka
Implications for future interventions
Several key aspects emerge from this review. First, the findings from several studies suggest that non-fatal self-poisoning in Sri Lanka is associated with brief premeditation in the context of acute interpersonal stress, albeit that no study investigated concurrent long term stressors or other vulnerability factors which might have increased the risk of non-fatal self-poisoning in the context of interpersonal stress. This finding suggests that one potential area of intervention to reduce rates of non-fatal self-poisoning in Sri Lanka is at a primary preventive level, through community programs aimed at developing interpersonal skills and skills for coping with interpersonal stress. Given the young age group most at risk and the apparently low rate of repetition, a prevention approach that targets older teenagers in schools and young adults in the community is indicated. Similar preventive strategies have been suggested previously for Sri Lanka
Second, alcohol use disorders are known to be associated with suicidal behaviours
Third, there is a paucity of information available regarding psychiatric morbidity associated with non-fatal self-poisoning in Sri Lanka, although studies from countries such as China have reported that high-intent suicide attempts are associated with depression and chronic stress
Finally, it should be noted that the factors associated with non-fatal self-poisoning are complex and multiple, and an integrated, multifactorial approach towards reducing the rate of non-fatal self-poisoning is likely to be more effective than focusing on single risk factors. Phillips et al.
A primary limitation of this review is that it is based on publications in indexed peer reviewed journals, and thus findings maybe limited by publication bias. Studies and abstracts presented at conferences, in non-indexed journals, as well as other unpublished literature were not incorporated. As far as possible, attempts were made to ensure the search was as inclusive as possible, by searching multiple electronic databases, and by examining bibliographies of already selected articles for any further publications of relevance. A hand search was also conducted of the archives of the Ceylon Medical Journal, which is the oldest indexed medical journal in Sri Lanka. The search was conducted in the English language, but since the language used for scientific and medical publications and conferences in Sri Lanka is English, a language bias is unlikely.
Other limitations include the fact that the search included publications up to 31st October 2011 only, and 5 potentially eligible articles published since October 2011 could not be included. The mixed nature of the study types, which makes comparison between studies challenging, and the limited details available on certain aspects of self-poisoning in Sri Lanka such as psychiatric morbidity are also limitations. The variation in the year in which the studies were conducted, which ranged from 1974 to 2011, may also have influenced relevance of findings to current preventive strategies. Many of the findings reported in this review are based on cross-sectional data, which provide limited information about rates of change and factors associated with attempted self-poisoning. Furthermore, as mentioned previously, the aim of this review was to examine factors associated with non-fatal self-poisoning in Sri Lanka. However, due to the nature and paucity of the studies available, the review included studies which focus on intentional self-poisoning where the outcome (i.e., survival or death) was not differentiated. This is a limitation of the review. Another possible limitation is that during data extraction, equal weight was given to all studies, irrespective of study quality. However the overall findings were largely supported when higher quality studies were examined individually
The rates of non-fatal self-poisoning in Sri Lanka have increased in recent years, despite a clear decrease in the rate of completed suicides since 1995. With respect to features such as gender ratio, methods used and rates of self-poisoning, Sri Lanka shares similarities with other Asian countries rather than the West. However intriguing recent evidence indicates that medicinal overdoses are becoming more common, and this has been paralleled by a gender shift towards increased female self-poisoning in urban areas - an apparent change towards non-fatal self-poisoning patterns as seen in the West.
Non-fatal self-poisoning in Sri Lanka is reported to be associated with interpersonal conflict, with short premeditation, and also to be associated with alcohol misuse among males. There is a dearth of information about potential associations with other factors such as psychiatric morbidity and chronic stressors. Reduction of attempted suicide rates needs to be a national priority, and available evidence suggests the need for integrated intervention strategies which encompass several broad aspects, namely community based development of interpersonal skills among young people, community based programs to reduce alcohol misuse, plus screening for and specific management of those at high risk of repetition following non-fatal self-poisoning. This remains a challenging area, which requires further research to explore the effectiveness of such an approach, and findings for Sri Lanka may have implications for similar intervention programs in other South Asian countries as well.

I've always been uncomfortable with my looks. When I was a toddler, I would scratch my face until it bled (only when I looked in mirrors) and my mom had to put gloves on me.
In middle school, I started pulling my hair out, and picking my gums until they bled. It gave me a sense of relief.
Now, I'm 18 and a senior in HS, and I've been cutting since 10th grade. I just hate myslef. I'm too skinny, and everyone is always telling me how unattractive that is.
I have an ugly face, no boobs, and i just hate every single thing about myself.
I have BDD (body dismorphic disorder) and I was wondering if someone could help give me advice. Will I be alone forever? I doubt anyone could ever love someone so disgusting with ugly scars..

Lets put it this way, you're probably making your body look worse, by adding cuts and scars to it00|02|1
I think that's pretty obvious. Thank you though, Sherlock!
- Show AllShow Less
How is that the fucking light at the end of the fucking tunnel. You suck at giving advice!
Just sayin'. If she already has bad body image, why add to it?
Most Helpful Girl
I used to be a cutter, I struggled with it from the age of 12-19, I have scars all over my body, I have found a few rare gems who love me anyway. I've also ran into people who judge me for them and I always just tell them that I had issues in the past. My troubles were not quite like yours, I had a horrible childhood and took it out on myself and became addicted to the feeling of being in control of the harm I caused myself. You will find people who will not judge you, they are out there, but you're going to have to learn how to be comfortable with you and show them who you are on the inside and not just what you have on the outside.
Good luck girl, I know this isn't an easy feat.21|10|0
Thank you for being someone who gets it :) I hate it when people say that cutting is only for attention. I cut my upper thighs where you could only see if I wore a bathing suit (which I haven't in 5 years). It's not like I'm putting this on display for all the world to see...
You are very welcome. No, it isn't, I cut myself where people couldn't see them until I ran out of space. It's not easy to stop either, I went through horrible mental withdrawal when I attempted to stop, I needed that relief, the rush of endorphins, the sheer satisfaction of knowing that I was totally and completely in control, until one day, I was in the shower and scrubbed my scars so hard trying to wash them off, that I opened a few of them. That's when I knew that it was time to stop. I sat down, looked at myself and who I had become, and forced myself to be the person that I was on the inside.
You are beautiful no matter how many scars you have! You just have to believe that yourself.

The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA), the body that regulates embryo research in the United Kingdom, will "robustly" defend a legal challenge filed with the High Court last week on the HFEA's decision to grant licences for research using hybrid human-animal embryos.
The Christian Legal Centre (a non-denominational group campaigning for Christian values) and Comment on Reproductive Ethics (which describes itself as a public interest group on human reproduction issues) have asked for a judicial review of the HFEA's decision in January to approve research using human-animal cytoplasmic hybrid embryos by scientists at King's College London and Newcastle University (BMJ …

Here come the closers to finish off the dynasty rankings. Stick around for the post-game fireworks.
We, at Baseball Prospectus, have been talking about closers, potential closers and middlemen for a while now (three days and change to be exact, depending on when you are reading this) and the party continues to rage on. Yet before we rage, we shall calibrate—since rankings aren't useful without knowing what you're reading. The list you are about to read here presupposes a 16-team standard (read: 5x5 roto) dynasty format, in which there are no contracts/salaries, players can be kept forever, and owners have minor-league farm systems in which to hoard prospects. So feel free to adjust this as necessary for your individual league, whether it's moving non-elite prospects without 2016 ETAs down if you don't have separate farm teams or moving lower-risk, lower-reward players up in deeper mixed or -only formats.

Kenley Jansen may be the key to the Marlins' plans for 2017, but do they have a fallback option in place?
The 2016 Marlins faced one of the most difficult seasons in recent memory, as the sudden death of Jose Fernandez in a tragic boating accident left a scar on the team, the city, and all of baseball.
In the wake of Fernandez's death on September 25, the future of the Marlins' rotation was on no one's mind and rightfully so. In those moments we must remember that baseball is simply a game, a sport, a job, a hobby. It's comprised of human beings who have a purpose, a story, and a life beyond the diamond. No one should have been asking baseball questions.

Modern bullpen usage be damned, Dave Roberts was determined to use his best pitchers in Game 5 and the Dodgers are moving on.

Ranking closers based on how bad they've looked at the plate.
Roster expansion begins today, so last night's Giants/Dodgers game may be the the last of the season where a reliever batted for both teams. To celebrate the Chris Hatchers and George Kontoses (Konti?) of the world, here's a GIF-laden look at the ones who bat least and why it's often well-deserved. This article originally ran on August 22, 2013.
On Wednesday night, Aroldis Chapman entered an 8-6 game in relief of an injured Jonathan Broxton, who faced two batters in the top of the eighth before his elbow cut his outing short. It was the first time Chapman had been asked to get more than three outs all season. And because a "distraught" Dusty Baker screwed up the double switch, Chapman also made his first major-league plate appearance in the bottom of the inning.

The league's highest-payroll team is loaded with fantasy goodness.
The Dodgers rarely had their Opening Day lineup on the field throughout the entirety of last season. This was due, of course, to a confluence of major injury problems to several star players (Matt Kemp, Hanley Ramirez), as well as the emergence of perhaps the starriest player in Yasiel Puig. Add in the regular rest needed by Carl Crawford, and the pure force of will it must take to rest Puig, and it's easy to see why that Opening Day lineup rarely materialized.
They'll give it a go once more, in 2014, as they hope to avoid the injury bug that bit them so often last year. Still, given their outfield depth, there are going to be plenty of lineups that don't resemble the Opening Day one, although they hope to have more stability at second and third base this season. The team is teeming with fantasy goodness, with power, speed, counting stats, and even the unknowns (Kemp, Guerrero) in the lineup, paired with dominance at the top of the rotation and quality innings in the middle of it. And let's not ignore the top-three fantasy closer at the back end of the bullpen with another valuable piece in Wilson if your league counts holds. If you're not a Dodgers fan already, there's a good chance you will be during fantasy season, as you're likely to roster at least a couple of their players.

September 21, 2012 5:00 am
Strikeouts are up this season, and this quartet of untouchable closers is driving the trend.
The evolution of pitching in the 21st century has trended toward increased specialization, to the point of eight-man bullpens and strict pitch counts for starters. The complete game has all but vanished from the baseball lexicon, and most pitching staffs are now structured with the goal of getting through six innings with a lead before handing the ball to the bullpen. Frequent pitching changes have been unkind to the hardcore fan base, slowing the pace of the game when the drama is at its peak, but the stats reflect the advantages that are gained through the tireless recycling of arms.
Major League Baseball has witnessed a historic trend toward increasing strikeouts, with 2012's league-wide K rate of 19.7 percent (through Wednesday) representing the highest figure of all time. The 1.1-point jump in strikeout percentage from 2011 is the largest season-to-season gain in 25 years. Interestingly, we are not in the middle of some historic home run binge, and the 300-K starter has gone the way of the dodo in the span of about 10 years. Mere memories remain of the exploits of Randy Johnson and Pedro Martinez, while 2011 strikeout kings Justin Verlander and Clayton Kershaw hit the ceiling at 250 strikeouts, a level that no pitcher is likely to crack this season. The 300-K starter has been replaced by the 100-K reliever.

Kenley Jansen isn't the first player to pitch with a heart condition, as Bill Veeck reminds us.
Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen hasn't pitched since August 27th, when he suffered a recurrence of the irregular heartbeat that put him in the hospital last season. Jansen is taking blood thinners, though he may undergo a procedure called cardiac ablation over the offseason, which would allow him to go without the medication. He hopes to pitch again this month.

Sam checks in on several of his articles from earlier this season to see whether what he wrote made sense.
July 18 is as good a time as any to go back and read old pieces to see whether they make a lick of sense in hindsight. It is as good a time as any because there is, from the writer's perspective, no good time to do this without wondering why that thing was written in the first place. Baseball is really just a lifelong project to break down any sense of certainty you might have about cause and effect.
Nonetheless, let's review a few of the conclusions I made in March, April, and May to see what new information tells us.

Dare Not Walk Alone Reviews
Top Critic
August 22, 2008
Jeremy Dean makes a valiant attempt to juxtapose past and present, but his goal is consistently undermined by an execution so muddled it's almost unwatchable...Even so, the film deserves to be seen, if only for its wealth of rare historical footage.
Read More | Original Score: 2/5
Top Critic
April 30, 2008
Dean's ability to explore history through such a local nexus creates a uniquely intimate document.
August 28, 2008
Directed by Jeremy Dean, Dare Not Walk Alone successfully avoids the trappings of many well-meaning civil rights docs that serve chiefly as grief mops for white liberal guilt.
April 25, 2008
It's nothing short of breathtaking to see these demonstrations, and the clear and unmitigated cruelty incurred by these activists, from the points of view of general passersby.
Full Review | Original Score: 3/5
Top Critic
April 25, 2008
Brock's story and the vivid remembrances of protesters...Clumsier is Dean's attempt to revive calls for social justice regarding today's poverty-stricken West St. Augustine.
Full Review | Original Score: 3/5
April 25, 2008
Even though this production was completed in 2006, the racial politics of the current presidential election make his film all the more significant.
Top Critic
April 24, 2008
Inelegantly made and sometimes awkward in its transitions between the two eras, Dean's film nonetheless packs a punch, thanks to vivid archival footage from this lesser-known (compared to Montgomery, Selma, Birmingham) hotbed of Southern racial unrest.

Find the Fastest ISP
- Find the Fastest ISP
- clear winners (and losers)
- other findings
- the best isp
- urban stats
- how surfspeed tests
- fiber lust
how surfspeed tests
when you download large files, high bandwidth generally translates into faster file download speeds. but remember, a file download also relies on the site that's serving the file to you. if the site has a small pipe (limited bandwidth) or it's overloaded with users, you're unlikely to see the speed that your provider touts on its web site.
with that in mind, bruno sonnino, the author of many pcmag utilities, developed surfspeed for us as a test of real surfing speed. it's a free download (registration required) from go.pcmag.com/utilities, and we urge you to give it a try. we hope to revisit this analysis in the future.
how surfspeed works
bandwidth testing sites download a single large file, initiating a single connection. instead of downloading one large file over a single server (with lots of bandwidth), surfspeed grabs pages (and page elements) from multiple sites with varying amounts of bandwidth. in addition, just like a real internet browser, surfspeed initiates multiple connections to get all of the page elements. each connection takes time, and that becomes a part of the surfspeed equation.
surfspeed behaves more like a real browser than like a bandwidth test, and in doing so gives a unique measurement that more accurately reflects how you spend 90 percent of your time on the web, whether you're surfing or sitting and waiting for a page to load. by default, the utility runs once per hour, "browsing" to top sites aol, apple, ebay, go.com, google, mapquest, microsoft, msn, myspace, and yahoo!. you can run it on the sites of your choice, but we considered results only from these preset sites.
once you run surfspeed, you can begin comparing your results with others. each time you run a test, the results are sent to the pc magazine servers. this data is then used to compare your speed with that of others in your zip code, state, country, and the world. you can also see how your isp performs compared both with other isps and with itself from state to state.
how we got the results
for this story, we considered all the tests run from may 12, 2006the day after we unveiled surfspeedto june 8, 2006. in all, we had data from more than 12,000 users in 126 countries, and 128,000 test runs. since each test hits ten web sites, we had over one million data points to consider. we restricted our analysis to users in the united states.
anyone who has spent any time online knows that, no matter how fast your connection, occasionally sites won't be available; pages won't load properly; or downloads will take an inordinately long time to arrive. so we worked with datatechture, a new jersey-based research company, to help us identify outliers and clean the data so we could do our analysis.
we considered only those isps and connection types for which we had at least 50 users. we further filtered out data from users who didn't produce enough test runs over the period that we analyzed.

Toyota's Next-Gen Yaris Debuts At The 2011 Melbourne Auto Show
Toyota's new Yaris just made its local debut at the 2011 Melbourne auto show, ahead of its showroom release at the end of the year. The current Yaris is the third most popular compact car in the Australia, behind the Mazda2 and the Hyundai Getz.
Toyota stretched the Yaris to help create more space for rear seat passengers. Fuel efficiency has been improved by more advanced aerodynamics and the windshield gains "UV-reducing" glass with a single large wiper blade. The new Yaris will be offered as a three-door, five-door hatchback and four-door sedan. Toyota stated that this new model was designed with more of a European flavour than its predecessor.
Engine choices for the new Yaris are expected to be similar to the outgoing model, including a 1.3-liter and 1.5-liter powerplant. Toyota Australia will not release any more details until its launch.
