text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) - Sirius XM ( SIRI) was a big gainer in pre-market trading on Monday, rising more than 2% as Liberty Media ( LMCA) ramps up its efforts to gain control of the satellite radio giant. Last week Liberty Media filed an application with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for 'de jure' control of the New York-based firm. Liberty also withdrew an earlier application for 'de facto' control of Sirius. Sirius shares rose 2.54% to $2.625 on share volume of 3,329,915. Facebook ( FB), which saw its shares plunge on the expiration of a lock-up period last week, crept up 0.21% to $19.09 on share volume of 347,726. Shares of Groupon ( GRPN), which tumbled 36% last week following the daily deal site's second-quarter results, were down 2.11% to $4.65 in pre-market trading. Cisco ( CSCO), which enjoyed a share surge following its stronger-than-expected fourth-quarter results last week, dipped 0.37% to $18.99. --Written by James Rogers in New York.

Transcript of Z.A.T.A.O.M.M
By: Robert M. Pirsig Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance Overall Book Summary Z.A.T.A.O.M.M is It is a philosophical inquiry into the nature of Quality. It tells the autobiography of the author, Robert, who is running from a ghost of his former self after a mental illness. What is Quality? Robert and his son Chris, as well as the couple they are traveling with, John and Sylvia, are on a motorcycle trip from the Dakotas to California. On the trip, Robert explores the many different theories of quality as he travels through the states. These are often explained through deep, philosophical quotes in each chapter. Who is Phaedrus ? Phaedrus is Robert's former self before he went through electric shock therapy for his mental illness where his memory was wiped out. As the group travels through these different states, Robert realizes that, "Phaedrus" has been here before. Robert refers to Phaedrus often each time he feels he has been somewhere before. Chautauquas... Chautauquas are life lessons. These, life lessons, appear numerous times throughout the novel. In each chapter Robert has a new Chautauqua that he explains to the reader. Each Chautauqua often has a motorcycle analogy that ties into the lesson. Theme The overarching them of Z.A.T.A.O.M.M is one does not "Stop to smell the Roses". We never stop to enjoy life, instead, we rush time and try to create our future without embracing our past. Would You Recommend this book? Z.A.T.A.O.M.M is a book centered around life and what society sees as important verses not important. Teens CAN read this, but its favored more among adults because its repetitiveness and quote like structure. Characters Robert- smart, protagonist, father of chris, crazy, philosophicalFull transcript

Many children with LD and ADHD have difficulty managing their time, especially as they reach adolescence when more is required of them socially and academically. It's important to empower your child with the skills necessary to manage and organize herself. Doing so will give her a sense of self-control, which in turn will foster independence. Use the following guidelines to get you started.
Step-by-Step Strategy
1. Create a schedule.
When children arrive home from school, they often need time to relax and unwind before starting homework. During this down time offer to help your child write out a schedule for the rest of the night to ensure that she accomplishes everything she needs to do.
Start by making a list of the homework assignments for that night (including work on long-term projects). Next to each assignment, fill in the amount of time she estimates it will take to complete the task. Encourage her to pad her estimates with extra time, as underestimating is a common problem for children who have yet to master the skill.
2. Estimate attention span.
The next challenge is to determine how long she can sit before she'll need a break. This is generally a function of age and attention span and is likely to require your guidance in the early stages.
3. Plan breaks.
After establishing a reasonable break schedule, find out what she would like to do during her breaks and how long each break should last. Young children or hyperactive children may sit for 20 minutes and then need a break, but they may only need five minutes to run around or do some jumping jacks. Older children might work for 60 to 90 minutes or more and then need a break for 30 or 40 minutes. Any schedule that works for your child is fine. It may take some trial and error to find the best flow, and it's likely to change as your child develops.
4. Manage weekend work.
It's not unusual for students to ignore their schoolwork until Sunday night. You can avoid the last-minute stress by making a weekend schedule on Friday that shows how her time is allotted for recreation and homework.
Teaching time-management skills at a young age will help lead to self-regulation, limit setting, and learning how to prioritize—all skills necessary for success in life.

While it is recognised that depression is prevalent in Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), recent studies have also highlighted significant levels of anxiety in RA patients. This study compared two commonly used scales, the Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS) and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), in relation to their measurement range and cut points to consider the relative prevalence of both constructs, and if prevalence rates may be due to scale-specific case definition.
Patients meeting the criteria for RA were recruited in Leeds, UK and Sydney, Australia and asked to complete a survey that included both scales. The data was analysed using the Rasch measurement model.
A total of 169 RA patients were assessed, with a repeat subsample, resulting in 323 cases for analysis. Both scales met Rasch model expectations. Using the 'possible+probable' cut point from the HADS, 58.3% had neither anxiety nor depression; 13.5% had anxiety only; 6.4% depression only and 21.8% had both 'possible+probable' anxiety and depression. Cut points for depression were comparable across the two scales while a lower cut point for anxiety in the DASS was required to equate prevalence.
This study provides further support for high prevalence of depression and anxiety in RA. It also shows that while these two scales provide a good indication of possible depression and anxiety, the estimates of prevalence so derived could vary, particularly for anxiety. These findings are discussed in terms of comparisons across studies and selection of scales for clinical use.
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a multifactorial, chronic, inflammatory disease affecting primarily the joints with prevalence of between 0.5%-1% [1]. Pain, fatigue and disability, which may be considered as stress factors [2], are common challenges that may subsequently lead to psychological distress [3]. Depression commonly co-occurs with RA, in the range of 13% to 20% [4] and above [5] based on clinical assessments. Studies using self report measures of depressive symptoms suggest considerably higher rates (i.e. 40%), although the levels of symptomatology may be subclinical [6]. Longitudinal studies suggest cumulative risk for depression and intermittent recurrence over time [i.e. 40% over 9 years; [7]]. The prevalence rates of depression in RA are well above those reported in the general community or primary care [8] but similar to other chronic conditions [9]. Depression in RA is associated with higher levels of disease activity, pain, fatigue, work disability, health service use but lower treatment compliance [7,10] and increased suicide risk [11,12] and mortality [7,13].
Recent studies have also highlighted significant levels (21% to 70%) of anxiety in RA [5]. While there is a considerable overlap (i.e., 69% shared variance) between anxiety and depression and the levels of anxiety are higher when depression is present [14], the two are considered to be distinctly separate constructs [15]. Some studies report higher prevalence of anxiety than depression in RA [2,16], whereas others do not [5,17]. It is likely that depression and anxiety influence RA via different mechanisms. A recent study found both to have a direct effect on pain, although the direct effect of anxiety was significantly higher than that of depression [18]. While anxiety appeared to increase exposure to stress, only depression influenced pain via stress. According to a tripartite model [15] it is possible that anxiety manifests through physical arousal, increased sensitivity to pain and/or interpretation of sensations as painful. Depression, through the absence of pleasure, may increase vulnerability to pain at times of stress [18] particularly amongst those with repeated episodes of major depression [19]. This explanation is also consistent with a stress process model which suggests that vulnerability factors (such as anxiety and depression) may influence exposure or reaction to stress [20]. Thus, while closely linked, depression, anxiety and stress are proposed to be distinct.
Given the importance of effective screening for depression and anxiety in RA, it is essential to ensure that they are being appropriately measured with available scales. Furthermore, it has been noted that the rates of depression and anxiety vary considerably across studies partly due to differences in assessment scales [5]. Those differences create difficulties in comparing results across studies and, for clinicians, in interpreting with confidence to what degree various scales may identify those who are at risk for depression or anxiety and require referral for further assessment [21].
To examine the degree to which measurements distinguish depression, anxiety and stress, the current study sets out to co-calibrate two commonly used scales. The Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale [DASS; [22]] and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale [HADS; [23]] will be statistically mapped and compared in terms of their construct independence and cut points. The DASS was developed in response to concerns about the potential overlap between depression and anxiety [24], and to independently measure a third factor, stress, which is common to both of those constructs. The depression and anxiety subscales of the DASS are reported to be consistent with Clark and Watson's [15] constructs of low positive affect and physiological hyper-arousal, although the correspondence of stress to their negative affect construct is unclear [25]. Psychometric studies, however, suggest that the DASS measures general psychological distress while still maintaining some distinction between the three separate constructs [26]. A number of factor analytic studies have examined the structure of the DASS, and in general confirmed a three-factor solution [e.g. [27]]. More recently however those traditional methods have been supplemented with modern techniques such as the Rasch measurement model [28]. A recent study used Rasch analysis to assess the short 21-item version of the DASS and found that three items needed to be removed and two subscales, anxiety and stress, appear to measure a single underlying construct [29].
The HADS has been extensively evaluated across various somatic, psychiatric and primary care populations [30] and more recently, musculoskeletal [31], cancer [32], end stage renal disease [33] and RA [21] and found to distinctly measure depression and anxiety with two, seven-item subscales. The HADS was specifically developed for use in primary or secondary health settings to exclude somatic items that may be reflective of the context (i.e. physical condition). It provides a well-established, valid and reliable measure for comparison to the DASS. Both scales have been tested in terms of their screening ability and cut points against commonly accepted diagnostic gold standard such as the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual [33-35]. It is, however, recognised that detection of psychiatric conditions such as depression and anxiety is complicated by the comorbidity of physical conditions even when using diagnostic interviews based on DSM or ICD, unless modified [36,37]. For the purpose of this study HADS will be considered as an interim gold standard as it has been extensively validated across somatic and psychiatric populations in primary care and the general community [30] and is recommended for use in the physically ill [37].
By co-calibrating the items from both scales onto a single metric the three constructs, depression, anxiety and stress, will be mapped to: (a) compare the range of DASS depression and anxiety to that of the HADS scales; and (b) compare the two scales' cut points for depression and anxiety to determine if any variability may be due to scale-specific case definition.
DASS and HADS item responses were obtained from patients attending the Yorkshire Early Arthritis Register (YEAR) clinic in Leeds, UK (n = 89) and private and hospital clinics in Sydney, Australia (n = 80). All participants met RA diagnosis. Ethical approval was granted by the NHS York Research Ethics Committee, UK (Ref 07/Q1108/25) and the University of Western Sydney Human Ethics Committee, Australia (ref no H5417). Participants' written consent was obtained in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki.
In addition to demographic data, the following scales were included in the study:
The Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS) is a 42-item self-report measure of depression, anxiety and stress [22]. It consists of three 14-item subscales with each item scored on a 4-point Likert scale, ranging from 0 (did not apply to me at all) to 3 (applied to me very much, or most of the time). Total scores are calculated by summing the items on each subscale, giving a score range of 0-42 on each subscale. Scores above 20, 14 and 25 on the depression, anxiety and stress subscales respectively are indicative of severe levels [22]. The DASS shows good convergent and discriminant validity, and high internal consistency and reliability, with Cronbach's alpha reported at 0.94 for Depression, 0.87 for Anxiety and 0.91 for Stress [34].
The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale [HADS; [23]] is designed to measure both anxiety and depression in out-patient populations. Each subscale comprises seven items which are rated on a four-point scale and scored from 0-3 with total scores therefore ranging from 0-21 for each subscale. Scores between 0 and 7 represent 'no case'; 8 to 10 indicate 'possible case' and 11 to 21 suggest a 'probable case of anxiety/depression'. These cut points have been validated against clinical interviews with sensitivity and specificity around 0.80 [30]. Recent studies have reported good internal consistency for both anxiety (0.89) and depression (0.86) subscales [38].
Rasch analysis is a process to test if a set of data intended to be summated to give a total score satisfies the rules for constructing interval scale measurement [39]. The process involves a number of tests to see if the data meet the Rasch model assumptions. These include a probabilistic relationship between items (stochastic ordering); local independence and unidimensionality. The analytical framework also enables checking to see if the scale works in the same way across groups (invariance as determined by Differential Item Functioning-DIF) and examining the reliability and targeting of the scale to the sample. In the context of health outcome measurement the process is described in detail elsewhere [31,40,41].
The process of Rasch analysis is essentially one of testing the above assumptions. Briefly, fit (stochastic ordering) to the Rasch model is achieved when summary and individual item chi-square statistics are non-significant, showing no deviation from model expectation (Bonferroni adjusted); where item and person summary fit statistics show a mean of zero and standard deviation of 1, and where individual item and person residuals are within the range of +/- 2.5.
The assumption of local independence of the item set is verified by the absence of correlations above 0.3 among the residuals of the items tests. Where this assumption is violated and local dependency is found, items can be grouped together in the form of 'testlets', which absorbs the impact of local dependency [42]. The items within each subscale (e.g. depression) can also be grouped together as a testlet and treated as a 'super item' or 'higher order item' [43]. This enables a detailed examination of the relationships between subscales, including the unique component of each scale, the summary correlation between subscales, corrected for attenuation, and the common variance of the total score (adding together all domains assuming unidimensionality) relative to the common and unique variance (i.e. total variance). A high common variance (e.g. 0.9 and above) would indicate that the various subscales were, in general, mapping onto a higher order construct and were correlated sufficiently highly that the total score obtained by summating all subscales together summarizes the profile of the majority of persons [43]. This co-calibration approach also enables a comparison of the operational range of the various subscales, which is one of the aims of the current study.
The test for the assumption of unidimensionality is that described by Smith [44]. Here two estimates are derived from different subsets of items identified by their loading on the first principal component of the residuals. The estimates are compared and when less than 5% are significantly different this supports unidimensionality.
In addition, the scale is expected to show invariance across key groups (e.g. gender or age), as indicated by a non-significant two-way ANOVA of the residuals where group is one factor, and (in this case) the level of psychological distress, a second factor. The latter is determined by simply grouping respondents by their level of distress using the raw score. Reliability indices are also calculated, namely, Cronbach's Alpha and the Person Separation Index (PSI).
The Rasch analysis was conducted using RUMM2030 software [45].
In total 169 RA patients were assessed in both countries, and with repeated clinic attendances in the UK, 323 assessments in total were available. The recruitment was designed to give different patterns of disease duration, with the UK data (n = 89) representing early RA (duration < 2 years), and the Australian data (n = 80) more established disease, (mean duration = 13.36, SD = 11.17). However, there were no significant differences in age between the two samples (mean age = 58.3 years, SD = 15.1, p >.05), nor a difference in gender (Chi Square 0.059; p = 0.86). For analytical purposes these data were separated into two samples, the initial baseline data of 169 assessments (73% of whom were female), and follow-up data from the UK of 154 repeated assessments (based on two further data collection points).
The mean scores and proportions according to cut points for depression, anxiety and stress (DASS) and depression and anxiety (HADS) are shown in Table Table1.1. While overall mean scores were low across the three subscales on the DASS, 8.3% of the sample recorded scores in the 'severe' or 'extremely severe' range for depression, 7.8% for anxiety and 9.8% for stress. On the HADS, 9.4% of the sample were classified as a 'probable case' of depression (scores 11+) and 18.6% as a 'probable case' of anxiety (scores 11+). Using the 'possible+probable' cut point (scores 8+) from the HADS, 58.3% had neither anxiety nor depression; 13.5% had anxiety only; 6.4% depression only, and 21.8% had both 'possible+probable' anxiety and depression.
Generally all subscales were consistent with Rasch model expectations, Fit of the baseline data of the individual subscales of the DASS and the HADS, and the various combinations, including the final testlet based version are shown in Tables Tables22 &3. The DASS-Anxiety subscale showed initial fit to the model (Table (Table2,2, Analysis 1), but improved further after some items were rescored (Analysis 2), and local dependency was adjusted by testlets (Analysis 3). The HADS-Anxiety subscale showed good fit at the outset (Analysis 4). All solutions showed strict unidimensionality and local independence. All were free of DIF by age, gender and country. When both the DASS and HADS anxiety items were combined some misfit was observed, and some multidimensionality (Analysis 5). Although creating testlets to accommodate local dependency improved fit (analysis 6), two locally dependent items from the HADS required removal to obtain a strictly unidimensional solution (Analysis 7).
The depression subscales showed good fit to the Rasch model, and only the DASS set of items needed adjustment for local dependency (Table (Table3,3, Analyses 8 and 9), whereas the HADS-Depression subscale satisfied model expectations from the outset (Analysis 10). All solutions were free of DIF, strictly unidimensional and locally independent. When all items were pooled together, some slight misfit was observed (Analysis 11), but this resolved after creating testlets to accommodate local dependency (Analysis 12). The DASS-Stress subscale also satisfied model expectations at the outset (Analysis 13).
When all subscales were treated as testlets (making five super or higher order items in total), fit to the Rasch model supported unidimensionality of the common latent construct (Analysis 14). The ratio of unique to total non-error variance was high (0.97). Replication was then conducted on the repeated assessment sample (n = 153, UK only) to confirm this interpretation (Analysis 15). The ratio of unique to total variance on this occasion was 0.93, supporting the interpretation that all subscales map on to a common underlying higher-order construct.
The five testlets (i.e. the three DASS subscales and the two HADS subscales, consisting of all items and in their original scoring version) were then mapped, allowing comparison of their operational ranges (Figure (Figure11).
This logit based metric has been rescaled from 0-25 for ease of interpretation, the width of which was determined by a combination of the HADS-Anxiety subscale, which had the lowest level on the common metric (so giving a score of zero), and the DASS-Anxiety subscale which had the highest level on the metric (so giving a score of 25). Both the 'possible' and 'probable' cuts points of the HADS subscales are shown, along with the 'mild' to 'extremely severe' cuts points for the DASS. The HADS-Anxiety subscale has the widest operational range (22.18 on the common metric), and the DASS-Depression subscale the narrowest range (10.61 on the common metric). The cut point for 'extremely severe' on the DASS-Stress subscale is the highest on the construct (so giving the lowest prevalence), followed by the 'extremely severe' cut point for the DASS-Anxiety subscale (Table (Table4).4). The HADS-Anxiety 'possible' cut point is the lowest on the common underlying metric, and thus associated with the highest prevalence, giving 35.3% of patients falling above this cut (including the 'probable' patients).
The HADS-Depression 'probable' cut point and the DASS-Depression 'severe' and 'extremely severe' cut point gave levels of prevalence for depression of a similar magnitude, and are closely located on the underlying metric. However, there is considerable difference in terms of HADS-Anxiety 'probable' when contrasted with the DASS-Anxiety 'severe' and 'extremely severe' cut points, with the prevalence on the HADS-Anxiety more than double that of the prevalence on DASS-Anxiety. This is consistent with the 'probable' cut point on the HADS-Anxiety being lower on the common metric than the DASS-Anxiety 'severe' cut point, thus generating a higher prevalence. However, if the DASS-Anxiety 'mild' cut point is included, then prevalence is similar, with the 'mild' DASS-Anxiety cut point being at a similar location to the HADS-Anxiety 'possible' cut point (Figure (Figure11).
Given the metric, it is possible to provide 'exchange' rates between the respective subscales of the two scales. For example, the 'probable' cut point of the HADS-Depression subscale of 11 points is equivalent to 27 points on the DASS-Depression subscale, which is the highest score within its 'moderate' range (Figure (Figure22).
Likewise the HADS-Anxiety 'probable' cut point of 11 is equivalent to a score of 14 on the DASS-Anxiety subscale, which is the highest score on DASS 'moderate' level. A score of 20 on the DASS-Anxiety subscale (extremely severe) is equivalent to a score of 13 ('probable') on the HADS-Anxiety subscale.
Finally, irrespective of the differential raw scores associated with the various severity-specific cut points on the DASS subscales (e.g. at extremely severe) all severity-specific cut points are shown to map onto a similar point on the underlying metric. That is, the DASS 'extremely severe' cut points for anxiety and depression mark the same location on the underlying metric, as do the 'severe' cut points. It follows from this that the prevalence of the two constructs as defined by the DASS do not vary greatly. The 'extremely severe' cut point for the DASS-Stress subscale is the highest on the metric, as is its 'mild' cut point, compared with the other DASS's subscales, so giving a lower prevalence associated with each cut point.
Depression and anxiety frequently occur in RA. This study compared two commonly used screening scales, HADS and DASS, in relation to their measurement range and cut points to consider if prevalence rates may be due to scale-specific case definition.
The individual subscales of depression and anxiety (HADS and DASS) and stress (DASS only) showed a good fit to Rasch model expectations. After some adjustments to the ordering of thresholds and for local dependency for the DASS Anxiety and Depression subscales, interval scale transformation was achieved for all subscales. When pooled together, DASS Anxiety and HADS Anxiety subscales required some modifications to create a unidimensional scale whereas only minor changes were necessary to merge DASS Depression and HADS Depression. This suggests that the anxiety subscales across the two scales may measure different aspects of this construct. This finding has implications for interpretation of anxiety rates across studies and the selection of anxiety scales. It is important to further investigate the clinical relevance of those scales.
When, however, all subscales were mapped together as testlets, they were found to measure a common underlying trait. This is consistent with the testlet design, when used in this fashion, being equivalent to the bi-factor model, where all sub-domains load onto one common domain, while unique components load on to secondary domains [46]. In this instance it was found that the unique variance was low, and that the majority of variance was shared by the five subscales. This finding may be due to the use of testlets, as in removing local dependency those testlets may also remove some discrete uniqueness within each subscale (which when individually tested all met Rasch analysis expectations). It may also be due to an overlap between the two constructs, depression and anxiety, either as a result of their measures assessing general distress [14] to a degree, or that they may in fact be demonstrating their share common causal factors [47]. Nonetheless, the two constructs are seen as distinctly different, anxiety being motivated by fear while depression by sadness [48]. Finally, the commonality detected may also be due to a high level of comorbidity of depression and anxiety in this study's sample. This comorbidity is particularly significant given its occurrence in the context of a physical comorbidity (RA). It highlights the clinical complexity and associated implications for the treatment of both depression and anxiety in the presence of the physical manifestations of RA. It is also important that further research explores the structure of depression and anxiety constructs in relation to their common underlying construct of psychological distress.
Irrespective of the derivation of the cut points, it was possible through the common metric provided by Rasch analysis, to compare DASS cut points with those of the HADS. Depending upon which cut points were chosen, prevalence estimates could be similar. For example, the HADS 'probable' and DASS 'extremely severe' cut points for depression were found to be closely matched. For anxiety, however, comparable cut points were only found at a lower end. That is, the DASS-Anxiety 'mild' cut point and above matched the HADS-Anxiety 'possible' and above cut point. The DASS-Anxiety 'extremely severe' cut point was higher on the construct than the HADS-Anxiety 'probable' cut point. This may be due to the difference in focus of the anxiety items, with the DASS reflecting feelings of panic and physical symptoms (e.g. dryness of mouth) while the HADS subscale was developed to exclude somatic symptoms and is closely aligned with the generalised anxiety disorder [38]. This is an important finding suggesting that these anxiety scales need further clinical verification to determine which aspects of anxiety they measure, and their concordance with clinical diagnostic assessments.
As such, these findings have important implications for screening and interpretation of research findings across studies. First, this study supports previous findings that elevated levels of both depression and anxiety occur in RA [i.e. [5]]. Second, it permits a direct comparison of the ability of these two measures to distinguish between depression and anxiety, and their derived estimates of prevalence. The operational ranges of measurement between the scales were found to vary and the cut points needed combined calibration in order to determine appropriate comparability.
The DASS cut points were originally determined by distributional difference of their norming sample, later confirmed in clinical populations [34,49,50]. However, in the current study an interesting observation is that the severity-specific DASS cut points for the anxiety and depression subscales all appeared to measure the same point on the underlying metric, irrespective of the specific construct they represent, giving almost identical prevalence for depression and anxiety. In contrast, this was not the case for the HADS. This similarity for DASS cut points requires further investigation.
The study has a number of limitations. Although both scales have previously been evaluated against clinical diagnostic assessment [34,51] it is not possible to determine which one may do so with more specificity/sensitivity in this study. The study was also restricted to RA population, and it would be useful to see if the same results were to be found in other rheumatic diseases given that it is not clear to what degree depression and anxiety presentation and severity may vary across other rheumatic conditions. While the study was not designed to look at responsiveness of these scales, it has shown that their structures are invariant across countries (UK and Australia) and time (examined in UK only). This is an essential requirement for future studies to assess responsiveness of those scales.
In conclusion, the current study highlights the comorbidity of anxiety and depression with RA. It also highlights the challenges of measuring depression and anxiety given the limitations of assessment measures, and the complexity of those conditions. However, this study shows that at least some confusion can be addressed with a co-calibration of depression and anxiety screening scales to enable the comparison of the estimates across scales and studies. That is, the results for the two scales compared in this study suggest that for depression a comparison between the 'probable' category on the HADS and 'extremely severe' on the DASS may be made, but that for anxiety, a comparison of DASS 'mild' and HADS 'possible' is better aligned. This study also highlights the importance of developing a common metric upon which all scales, and their cut points, may be calibrated.
The authors envisage three key implications from these findings. First, researchers investigating the prevalence of psychological distress amongst people with RA need to be mindful of the lack of concordance of the cut points across scales, and the impact this may have on prevalence estimates and meta-analytic studies. Second, this study reasserts the high rates of depression in RA patients and the need for regular assessment in both early and established RA. This is pertinent given the close association between depression and pain [52] and health outcomes in RA. Third, this study further substantiates converging evidence of the high rates of symptoms of anxiety amongst people with RA. Risk factors for anxiety, unlike for depression, are yet to be systematically examined in relation to RA [53].
In terms of immediate clinical application, screening scales such as HADS and DASS provide a good indication of possible depression and anxiety and may be used for regular screening of psychological distress. It is however, important to understand that those scales may not measure quite the same levels or aspects of that psychological distress, particularly so in relation to anxiety.

Even if all equipment is crafted how do you get the parts? Can you get the best part in EVE though solo play, or do you still need raids to obtain them?
Edited, Jun 13th 2009 5:01am by Maldavian
EVE is not Raid > Loot > Bigger Raid > Bigger Loot
There are no dungeons, all the good stuff really is player made, and you WILL loose the lot when you're in lowsec and someone doesnt like the cut of your jib. Its extremely difficult to compare EVE to another online game, because all they really have in common is the fact that they are MMOs.
Yes, the best stuff can be obtained solo. Likely you will take a squad of people with you when ratting (killing NPC) or mining as like I say if a few other players come along and see something they like, they take.

text: By David Russell, reporter at OptionMonsterNEW YORK -- The bulls are targeting National Bank of Greece ( NBG) as the country expects to exit its recession next year. OptionMonster's trade scanners detected massive call volume buying in the European lender, most of which focused on the January 6 strike. Traders amassed more than 28,000 contracts, almost all of them going for the 20-cent ask price in a strong buying pattern. These calls lock in the price where shares can be purchased, giving them potentially huge leverage if the stock continues to climb. Investors use them to make sure they don't miss a rally while limiting the amount of capital at risk if the stock tanks. The bank's stock rose 16% to $5.33 on Monday, following a gain of 10% on Friday. It's the latest among the once-distressed European financials to start rallying. Others such as Bank of Ireland, Banco Bilbao Vizcaya, and Banco Santander have been strongly outperforming the broader market over the last three months. Overall option volume in the name was 33 times greater than average in the session. Calls accounted for a bullish 90% of the total. Russell has no positions in NBG.

FAQ: JDM EJ20 swap. the easiest way IMO.
View Single Post
Scooby Newbie
Join Date:
Mar 2010
E. Canada
What about putting an older Japenese motor in my newer car (i.e. 94-96 EJ20g into my 99 RS). Sure, why not? JDM motors only have at most 60,000 miles - it plugs in and works just fine.
Hello all,
Long time lurker, first time posting.
To be brief; I just bought an STi V2 engine/tranny with ECU and wiring harness. I want to swap this into my into my 99 2.5 RS. Now I know physically installing the engine and tranny will be a walk in the park but I am wondering about mating the wiring harness to the car.
I know the STi V2 has a mechanical speedo cable while the gauges in the RS reads from the VSS in the tranny. I have access to the mechanical GC era STi speedo. Would this make this swap easier?
Or is it just as easy to use the RS VSS in the STi tranny and splice a wire to the appropriate part of the STi harness?
All I am looking for is the engine and transmission swap. I want to keep the stock RS gauges. What do I need to do to swap the STi V2 stuff into my RS?
I am getting all of my ducks in a row now so I can do the swap this Easter weekend.
The thread originator says that this STi V2 into 99 RS swap is easy. Is it as simple as pulling the 2.5RS ECU and related harness out and replacing it with the STi ECU/Harness and then plugging everything in and modding the harness to read info from the RS' VSS?
Or can I just get a mechanical STi speedo and go that route?
The wiring of this swap is the only source of question marks for me. Any mechanical or fitment issues I can solve.
Any help on this would massively appreciated as I've done all kinds of searching and I can't find any hard info on how to accomplish this swap even though it seems it's been done many times. But I've found lots of other great info here. This really a great resource!

Obesity: Can Planners Stem The Epidemic?
In 2010, each state's population had at least 20% percent that were obese, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. "Patterns of settlement and (in)activity in the places we live, work and play are to blame for the obesity epidemic," Laura Tolkoff wrote.
Here are Tolkoff's main points, while the full article elaborates on each point:
"Planners need to look more closely at the fundamental causes of disease and disregard any policies or design proposals that solve only one disease."
"Planning to promote health needs to be sensitive to, and embedded in, its cultural contexts."
"Planning to promote health must be linked to efforts to preserve undeveloped land in the urban fringe and vacant land in the city."
"To carry the current momentum around active living into permanence, planners, researchers and program managers must evaluate the cost savings associated with active living and healthy planning at the city and county level."
"Economic development must be a central component of Active Living and healthy urban planning."

In this slideshow, Fairway Technologies outlines 10 best practices to assist in selecting an information technology outsourcing (ITO) provider. Their analysis is based on research compiled from published literature as well as interviews and surveys of technology professionals possessing ITO experience.
An original survey of U.S.-based technology professionals conducted by Fairway Technologies revealed that smaller companies are more likely to use only onshore ITO providers and larger firms are more likely to enlist a blend of service providers, including more offshore than smaller firms. The survey also revealed that the top three ITO needs were custom software development, analytics/business intelligence and systems integration. Research shows the largest volume of offshore ITO business is serviced from India, with China and Russia far behind in second and third places.
Controlling and reducing costs are primary drivers of outsourcing technology services. Savings are realized by not only lowering overhead and infrastructure expenses, but also capitalizing on specialized expertise to speed time to market and avoid project delays. Before deciding whether to hire an onshore, nearshore or offshore ITO provider, decision makers should first consider the benefits and risks of each model and how those map to their business requirements.

I've got the blues … the blogger blues. I think, this is something every blogger goes through.
For today I have a special personal post. In my "10 Day You Challenge", I already showed a few picture of one of my favourite places in the world. The Bergpark Wilhelmshoehe in Kassel. I can't count how often I walked through this park. It is the largest hillside park in europe and the second largest on a mountain slope worldwide.
Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe is a unique landscape park in Kassel, Germany. Art historian Georg Dehio (1850–1932), inspirator of the modern discipline of historic preservation, described the park as "possibly the most grandiose combination of landscape and architecture that the Baroque dared anywhere" ("vielleicht das Grandioseste, was irgendwo der Barock in Verbindung von Architektur und Landschaft gewagt hat.").[1]Source: Wikipedia
The area of the park is 2.4 square kilometres (590 acres), making it the largest European hillside park, and second largest park on a mountain slope in the world. Construction of the Bergpark, or "mountain park", began in 1696 at the behest of the Landgraves of Hesse-Kassel and took about 150 years.
There was a time at the early stages of this millennium I visited it nearly every weekend with my ex-husband. Until the day he told me that I should stop taking pictures every five minutes, because it bored him. (There is a reason, he's my ex-husband.)
From may until october, every sunday and wednesday, there is an event called »Wasserspiele« (water feature in english).
Every time about 350.000 liters (92,000 gallons) of water are needed and visitors can follow the water's way starting from the Hercules monument and ending at the big lake of the castle Wilhelmshöhe. The water runs down the cascades, the Steinhöfer's waterfall, the devil's bridge, until it tumbles down the aqueduct before finally arriving at the lake of the castle where a fountain of about 50 meters ends the spectacle.
Every first saturday from june until september, you can attend a special lighted version of this event. Different colours illuminate the waterfalls and fountains. It's beautiful. One day I'll have a good camera and a tripod to take pictures of this beautiful spectacle.
Last year in september, I visited the park with a good friend of mine. He lives near Kassel and haven't seen the water feature or other parts of the park than the Hercules monument. What a pity. So I took him with me, we saw the water feature and did some geocaching. This year, I'll show him the »Loewenburg« … another great building from the past. But this will take place in another post.
If you should end up in Kassel for some weird reason (if you interested in art, Kassel is hosting the documenta every five years), you should visit the park. It's definitely worth a visit.
Love, Mel … xoxo

We are an IT support company with several clients.

Yes, try it out. They can input any email they want to create the ticket.
Sep 16, 2008 at 4:18 UTC
Please note that by doing it this way your help desk will become an amalgam of all of your clients, while each site maintains its own asset inventory.
One thing that you want to do is create a Custom Attribute for your tickets to allow you track the various sites you will be dealing with, as opposed to just going by email addresses.

The Hawk is an antagonist from the 1991 cartoon The Seventh Brother. He has brown feathers along with yellow eyes and feet. His beak and claws (which are revealed to be retractable) are blue.
He appears when chasing J.C. after spotting him playing in a meadow. When J.C. sees the hawk, he panics and runs away. The hawk was successful in grabbing J.C. in his claws. He was ready to eat him for breakfast, until Tiny starts to bark at the hawk, scaring him away.
He only makes one appearance in the English version, however in the German version, he makes several.

Just getting into this website and enjoying things. I have been quilting for about 43 years now, always learning, always growing in the process. I have a blog that I set up when we moved this past year, it is at http://www.sisterofthedivide.blogspot.com it shows some of my work in a variety of mediums. I am still uploading past projects. The last 4 years have been a challenge, thank goodness I have had quilting to fall back on for a meditation. I lost my mother to cancer, then our mortgage business failed, then we lost our two homes and I was diagnosed with cancer this past year. We moved from our home the month before my surgery which was quite the endeavor. I am pleased to report the surgery went well and I am cancer free, with no need for chemo or radiation! I have learned in this process what things are most dear in life, (by the way...it's not your stuff). I have had the most wonderful time unpacking fabric and re-exploring my stash, folding and sorting. We were so fortunate to be able to rent a beautiful home from wonderful folks, I am working for a Doctor in town and my husband is running our insurance agency...so we are gradually seeing a financial turn around. I spent my time last year working on charity quilts. I found that my burdens lifted with the thought that someone in need would be snuggling under one of my quilts! When you are down and have nothing, look for what you can give to others and you will find the most incredible joy, it doesn't have to be a material gift, service is always wonderful as well. At any rate, I am happy to be alive, happy to be able to pursue my passion and enjoying the beautiful and inspirational photos of all my fellow quilters on this website. Glad that I joined and looking forward to a year of inspiration and learning!
Good Morning Applekrisp. Welcome to QCA. You will have lots of fun here. We have quite a few characters around here. We joke and laugh and goof around and even do some quilting. So, if you have been quilting for 42 years then you must have started as a baby, very impressive. I started quilting in 2008 when my first grandchild was on the way. I have found a new love late in life. LOL I am not real good but I love to try new techniques and have really enjoyed QCA. Explore the "Groups" section to see some of the ongoing projects. Nana is about to start a "bag" project trying ti get some of us control freaks to loosen up a bit. Check out the "New Project" forum,. I hope that's the right name for it. LOL, someone will correct me if my memory isn't working right. There is always something fun going on around here. So feel free to jump in wherever you like and join in on any of the projects.
I will correct myself. Check out the forum "New Quilt Project" to see what Nana has up her sleeve. I believe it it=s going to start sometime this week.
Welcome to the site. I am so glad that you seem to be enjoying yourself. My deepest sympathy in the loss of your mother. I know how hard that is. Congratulations on the great outcome on your cancer surgery....so very scary. I applaud your outlook on life...God has blessed you in many ways.
Vinton, Virginia
Thanks Nana!
Welcome Applekrisp,
thank you for sharing your story. You are a true inspiration. I hope things continue to improve for you.
I visited your blog. I like your projects. You mentioned "Boxy Stars" from Quiltville. We recently made that as a group project. Check it out in the "groups" section of this site. It's not too late to make one.
Have fun exploring the site.
Welcome Applekrisp~
Love your user name...love apple crisp! Every time I see your name I will be craving apple crisp and drooling on my keyboard.
it sounds like you have been through a lot but it's amazing to come out of that tunnel with a new vision and attitude. It's what keeps us going. My condolences for the loss of your mother. And cancer free? Nothing could be better. Congratulations.
You will love it here. There are so many things to check out and see. Every one is so nice, friendly and helpful.

Greetings Applekrisp! Welcome to the group! I sure hope things are looking up for you.
Applekrisp ~ WELCOME to you wonderful group. We are soo glad to have you. Thank you for sharing your story and so glad to hear that you are cancer free. I am a 33 year survivor of uterine cancer. Please accept my condolences on the loss of your mom. I sure hope that you jump right in and join our project starting this week. With all your years of experience, expect us to pick you brain a little bit every now and then.
Bonnie, NorCal
Thanks to all who have welcomed me. I have been staying up late at night watching quilt videos and cutting 2 1/2 inch strips from my "scrap" bin. When we moved last year (the month before my surgery) all of my fabric was packed into boxes and several truck loads later...it's here at the house...LOL. Well, it has forced me to take stock of the situation and given me the opportunity to fold and sort fabric by color, etc. I cannot bear to toss fabric out, so I have made a deal with myself, if it's not a fat quarter it goes in the bin and has to be sliced. Then I know it will be ready for me when I want to do something scrappy. It will probably take me a few weeks to cut it all up, but any new projects I'm working on...that is the rule and before anything gets put away...it gets cut up. My strip pile is growing by leaps and bounds.
Applekrisp is what I baited my husband with...it works...!
today it was 107 here...I stayed in and sewed...made a jacket to wear and put the tutorial up for my knitting/crochet needle case on my blog site. I would love any feed back. I'm trying to get other gals in our area to share their quilting, but we are in a pretty rural area and I think they are just shy.
your tutorial is great. I want to make one and I haven't crocheted or knitted in ages. I love the fabrics you used for the demo.
Your jacket is cute too. I checked out the site for the pattern. Maybe I could make a patchwork one for winter.

Ronaldo, the two-time FIFA player of the year from Brazil, underwent surgery yesterday, less than 24 hours after re-injuring his right knee in a long-awaited comeback in an Italian Cup match.
The 23-year-old Inter Milan striker had the ruptured patella tendon in his right kneecap completely rebuilt by the same doctors who operated on his knee on Nov. 30 -- and cleared him to return to action 10 days ago.
He is expected back on the field in seven to eight months.Continue reading the main story

Invivo Wins Medical Design Excellence Award for Prostate Solutions
PEWAUKEE, Wis., Aug. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- On June 9, 2010, Invivo was recognized with a 2010 Gold Medical Design Excellence Award (MDEA) for its DynaCAD for Prostate and DynaTRIM (Trans-Rectal Interventional MRI) clinical solutions.

Invivo's DynaTRIM is the first commercially available fully MRI-compatible interventional device for Trans-Rectal Interventional MRI of the prostate gland. A removable device, DynaTRIM is designed to affix to an MR imaging table with an open design that allows for flexibility in coil choice and a cleanable foam pad for extra patient comfort. Invivo's DynaCAD for Prostate solution provides physicians with a comprehensive, customizable set of advanced visualization tools for performing real-time analysis of prostate MRI studies.
The pairing of DynaCAD for Prostate with DynaTRIM then enables a physician to conduct targeted MRI interventions of suspicious areas within the prostate gland, reducing the number of cores acquired during biopsy. "The better the sample, the more uniformity in diagnosis and inter-observer variance," explains Dr. David B. Kaminsky of Palm

I was going out on a couple dates with this guy and it seemed like the ideal type. For instance, he would refused to let me split the bill and keep on taking me to places that were kind of expensive.
However, he was only available after 5 pm, his cell sometimes was busy or off (when asked, he would say it was his busy schedule) and apparently he told me he doesn't have fb, messenger nor whatssup. I thought it seemed too good to be true but ignored it at first. My mother and some other relative started already suspecting he's hiding something and that no one just spends money like that for nothing.
Long-story short after a search a couple friend, my mother and I did... we found out he's been married for 5 years.
Most Helpful Guy
The age old question... how do I exact revenge on a cheater?
Most people would say move on, but if everyone does that, the guys just keeps going around abusing women and abusing his wife's trust too.
If you want to get back at him, throw an anonymous letter in their mailbox addressed to his wife. Explain what he did and that she needs to keep a leash on him. If it breaks up the marriage, so be it! Obviously it is not a good one in the first place.00|00|0
Exactly. I'm right now putting myself in that poor woman's shoes. I would be devastated if I were cheated on in a marriage and he's wasting money on a date (basically that's already cheating) instead of on me and his child.
He never told me he was married. He clearly told me he was single.
POS... it is a total waste of your time and effort too!
Thanks for MHGuy, cheers, and he will learn someday!

Yeah, my question is who is doing this? Any guesses???
Buddhism went through its violence phase centuries ago.I cannot imagine Buddhists as Buddhists threatening anybody like that. The Hindus get themselves aroused to such fervor from time to time and the Mohammedans, well they are always on. The pugnaciousness of Hinduism is the reason India is not a Mohammedan entity.

what is the secret to getting the gumpaste flowers to stay on the wires?
Hi -
You need to use an appropriately sized wire...heavy flowers need a heavy guage wire. Secondly, you need to use a "glue" on the wire so that when it is inserted into the gumpaste the glue will dry and hold the wire in place. Egg white can be used just be certain you don't get it on an area that you want to colour with petal dust.
There are also comments on this site about gumpaste glue and how to make it. Never used it myself. Others will tell you that egg white can carry salmonella. In this case the egg white is "inside" the gumpaste and rarely will anyone ever eat a gumpaste flower, especially anywhere near where the wire stem is. Good luck.
I use edible glue and depending on what flowers I'm making I usually make a small hook on the end of the wire first, dip it into the glue and then make your flower. You do need to allow time for it to dry as well before using the flowers.
This is a video by Lorraine McKay showing the how to steps for making the edible glue.
what about the wire that has the thread like coating is it better to use than reg. wire?
I always use paper covered wire when I make flowers. It helps the gumpaste to HOLD ON to the wire. But others may do it differently.
thanks ladies, i will give it a try.
another question, how thin should i roll the gumpaste? I am having trouble getting the edges to soften so the have the ruffle look to a rose.
When doing petals your petals really need to be pretty thin. Paper thin will give you the best and more realistic looking flowers.
thank you, i will go give it a try

Winter Classic
January 1, 2011 by staff
Winter Classic, (AP) – Mario Lemieux could not find the net. This does not mean he has lost a key marker. Lemieux set up two goals to offset two goals by Washington as actors Paul Mulvey retired Capitals and the Penguins skated to a 5-all tie Friday in the old classic game of winter. The two-period game played before 10,000 fans were relaxed – most players wore ski hats instead of helmets – but competitive. Peter Bondra, a marker of the 500 career goals, scored the tying goal for Washington with 45 seconds remaining.
The nail could have been Hall of Fame, Lemieux and Larry Murphy assisted on the game's final Pittsburgh, Hall of Fame Ron Francis on the power play. Hall of Fame Paul Coffey and former All-Star Kevin Stevens was also on the ice.
"This power plays, so it looked like we knew what we were doing there a little bit," Murphy said.
Most players were affected by the temporary ice rink installed a week ago between the 20 yard lines at Heinz Field. The ice could be tested by rain showers expected on Saturday and moderate temperatures, the first time the 4-year Winter Classic was played in anything other than the winter weather.
"The ice was great. Just a few times in the neutral zone, there was a puddle," said Lemieux. "But they came right out and do the housework."
Rob Brown, Rod Buskas Craig Simpson and Jay Caufield also scored for Pittsburgh. Caufield, best known for his fighting skills, surprised by his own teammates wound up a slap shot just inside the blue line.
"I have a Hall of Famer, Ron Francis, one side, and a Hall of Famer Bryan Trottier of the other, and then play with Mario," Brown said. "A pretty cool experience."
Mark Lofthouse, bearing the number 8 is now worn by Alex Ovechkin, and Alan may have added goals for the Capitals, who were under Hall of Fame, but the young goalkeepers. The Penguins' starting goalie was 60 years, Gilles Meloche, their goalkeeping coach.
The fans, with the full special dark blue Penguins' Winter Classic jersey, sang and shouted to Lemieux to score, but he could not put a slap shot and a couple of wrist shot past 49 years, goalie Don Beaupre.
"It was great to play with some of my old linemates," said Lemieux, who left for the second and last time in 2006 – seven years after buying the Penguins. "Kevin Stevens, it is a little slower but he knows where to go."
Stevens, who seems to be well above its weight by playing at a time of 230 pounds, took a couple of shifts and, he says, "I felt like I was there one month."
Bill Guerin, who retired last month at age 40, was among the youngest players.
"There will always be competitive, we've all played this game a long time, and nobody wants to lose, we are here … We might as well play hard," he said.
Lemieux was the last of 50 players announced. To welcome him to the ice, the Penguins used a recorded message by the late John Barbero, their long-standing arena announcer who died last summer.

The Chinese mark each year with a corresponding animal, each of which are the 12 animals in the Chinese Zodiac. The animals rotate in an order based on the legend surrounding that animal. Here's what you should know if you're interested in learning more about the Chinese zodiac and want to find out your sign.

The Legend of the Chinese Zodiac

There are several versions of the story of the origin of the Chinese zodiac. One is that the Buddha often forgot his age, and so to make it easier to calculate his age, he selected 12 animals to represent each year. According to the story, he invited all the animals of the world to gather at a certain place, some say a banquet, at a certain time. The first 12 to arrive were to be rewarded with a year named after each one.

The night before the meeting, the cat and the rat agreed to wake each other up to begin the journey together. However, the rat didn't keep his promise and the cat overslept. By the time the cat arrived, the meeting was already over. The other animals took their time making it to the venue , except the ox, who knew he was a much slower walker so he began the journey the night before.

The ox walked all night but he was unaware that the rat had been riding on his head the entire journey. Just before the ox arrived, the rat jumped over him and took the first spot in the zodiac. Some versions of the story have the rat climbing on the ox just before crossing a river and then jumping to the finish line. The rest of the animals arrived in the following order: tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog, and pig.

The Chinese Zodiac Today

At first, the Chinese zodiac was used as a convenient way to count the years and keep track of one's age. During the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the 12 animals were linked to the year of a person's birth. Then and today, when a Chinese baby is born, his or her animal sign is said to reveal his or her character. A person's Chinese zodiac sign is also used to figure out his or her fortune. Marriage partners' compatibility is also determined by their animal signs.

Find Your Animal Sign

So what's your sign? Here's how birth years correspond to Chinese zodiac signs:

Rat: 2008, 1996, 1984, 1972, 1960

Ox: 2009, 1997, 1985, 1973, 1961

Tiger: 2010, 1998, 1986, 1974, 1962

Snake: 2013, 2001, 1989, 1977, 1965

Horse: 2014, 2002, 1990, 1978, 1966

Goat: 2015, 2003, 1991, 1979, 1967

Monkey: 2016, 2004, 1992, 1980, 1968

Rooster: 2017, 2005, 1993, 1981, 1969
