Washington: US President George W Bush has signed an executive order banning the use of torture of suspected terrorists in the Central Intelligence Agency's detention and interrogation programme.
The order, a copy of which was released by the White House on 20 July 2007, says that the CIA programme whose existence Bush confirmed in September 2006 must abide by Common Article 3 of the Geneva conventions on wartime detainees.
"I hereby determine that Common Article 3 shall apply to a programme of detention and interrogation operated by the Central Intelligence Agency as set forth in this section," Bush said in the order.
In a separate statement, Bush spokesman Tony Snow said that the order barred "cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment" and "acts of violence serious enough to be considered comparable to murder, torture, mutilation, and cruel and inhuman treatment."
"It also prohibits willful and outrageous acts of personal abuse done for the purpose of humiliating or degrading the individual in a manner so serious that any reasonable person, considering the circumstances, would deem the acts beyond the bounds of human decency."
"And the order forbids acts intended to denigrate detainees' religion, religious practices, or religious objects," said Snow.
CIA director Michael Hayden told agency employees in a statement that the order was necessary in order to make sure that the detention and interrogation problem followed recent US Supreme Court rulings.

Brexit Negotiators Will Look at Terms of Divorce Before Future Relationship
The status of EU expatriates in Britain and that of United Kingdom citizens living in Europe were among the priorities as negotiations began between Brexit Secretary David Davis and Michel Barnier, the European Commission's chief negotiator, in Brussels.
Both EU negotiator Michel Barnier and his British counterpart David Davis said after the first negotiating session they were confident of quick progress but said major challenges lay ahead to meet the deadline of March 2019 for Britain to officially leave the bloc.
Anxious by immigration and loss of sovereignty, Britain voted previous year to end its four-decades-old membership of the 28-country bloc – the first state ever to do so.
Speaking in Brussels, Brexit Minister David Davis said London wanted a "new, deep and special partnership" in the interest of Britons and all Europeans.
N. Ireland is expected to be dealt with early on, between Oliver Robbins, UK prime minister's Sherpa, her chief diplomatic advisor and number two in the negotiations after Davis from the UK side and European Commission's Deputy Chief Negotiator Sabine Weyand on the EU-27 side. "We must first tackle the uncertainties caused by Brexit, first for citizens but also for the beneficiaries of European Union policies and for the impact on borders, in particular Ireland".
"First for citizens, also for beneficiaries of European Union policies and the impact on borders, in particular Ireland".
"There is more that unites us than divides us", Davis said, referring to the latest reported terror attack overnight in London and the loss of lives in forest fires in Portugal.
A spokesman for the Department for Exiting the European said: "We believe that the withdrawal process can not be concluded without the future relationship also being taken into account".
He added that an orderly withdrawal was essential for both Britain and the EU.
The UK wants to begin working out the details of a trade agreement alongside the terms of the withdrawal process.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel says she hopes for a "good agreement" after Brexit talks in which 27 European Union countries will listen carefully to what Britain wants but also defend their own interests.
Finance minister Philip Hammond confirmed Sunday that it was still the plan to quit not only the EU but the customs union and the bloc's single market as well.
A coalition of influential business groups echoed that sentiment on Monday, saying that the government should "put the economy first" in the Brexit talks.
"Northern Ireland is very complex and sensitive and we take it extremely seriously", Davis said.
May's election debacle has revived feuding over Europe among Conservatives that her predecessor David Cameron hoped to end by calling the referendum and leaves European Union leaders unclear on her plan for a "global Britain" which majority regard as pure folly.
Mr Barnier spoke at a press conference after the first day's talks to confirm that settling priority issues would build "trust on which to negotiate a new relationship".
But he didn't mention the EU's third objective – for Britain to settle a bill of tens of billions of euros.

[Leytonstone] A man stabbed three people in a London Subway on Saturday, slitting the throat of a passenger and then shouting "this is for Syria". He then proceeded towards a group of police officers. Following the trend of most such attacks, this has been branded a terror incident by the UK government.
Shocking as the attack was, it's what the officers did to the man that would leave most American readers dumbfounded:
This is a man who had already slashed the throat of one man. He'd also stabbed two other people. A murderous with a knife was now trying to get at the officers, yet the shocking thing is that they did not kill him. Instead, they simply tasered him twice… and then only after giving the man ample warning.
Here's the American version, filmed on Wednesday, depicting a stabbing suspect getting shot firing-squad style by San Francisco officers (disturbing audio, but no violence can be seen in the video):
There's quite a difference here between the police systems of the two nations. In Britain, a person who was certainly armed (with a melee weapon he had just used) was given the chance to come in peacefully and face the justice system; his refusal to do so when he tried to attack the officers led to him being tasered twice.
In the US… a man who was armed (also with a melee weapon) but who was trying to edge away from the police, was shot with live ammo so many times that there was no doubt that they simply wanted him dead. The American police behaved as though they were the law… the judge jury AND executioner.
The best part of all of this is the fact that most British police do not even want to be armed; a survey of the British Police Federation revealed that 82% of ALL officers in Britain did not want officers to be armed!
Perhaps this explains why, while British cops have killed only one person this year (until September 1st anyway) while American police have killed 776 people in the same time period.

Pink Flamenco
Ah, flamenco. Not quite as lusty as its distant dance cousin, the tango, but far randier than the fox trot, flamenco comes from Spain and involves a lot of fancy, speedy footwork accompanied by spirited music and passionate, evocative vocals. It's a sexy, sexy dance, and Noche Flamenca is one of its foremost practitioners. They're bringing their hot stepping to Cerritos-a town not normally known for its passionate dance moves. The company stresses the integration of the three essential elements of flamenco: dance, music and song. The New York Times ' Alastair Macaulay says about lead dancer Soledad Barrio, "I can think of no current ballet dancer in the world as marvelous as she." Should prove to be a hot date night, if you know what we're implying.

As I mentioned when I announced this month's theme, my mom is a breast cancer survivor, and this month is all about breast cancer awareness. There are a lot of places you can help, and I'm happy to provide more information if you're interested in it. But what I will say is this: check early, check often, and encourage the women in your life to do the same.
And now, on to the pink link-up!
This jacket was a London purchase that I've hardly worn at all. But this blouse comes in the mail from Le Tote, I see the pink in it, and it suddenly all comes together. The gray booties were a bit of an unusual choice for me given the rest of the color palette, but I love the way it turned out. And since they are the most comfortable shoes ever, I was happy all day.
And let's not forget about the co-host for the month. Gina from On The Daily Express was the most-clicked outfit in September, and I'm just as excited about her October pink outfits as I was about her awesome fall combinations:
Jeans: LOFT
Booties: BP
Shirt: Le Tote
Jacket: Zara (purchased in London, similar)
In case you're new here, here's how this works:
1. Follow Work Clothes, I Suppose and On The Daily Express
2. Link to a specific post, not your general blog URL, and please be wearing or talking about a Pink outfit.
3. Visit the other bloggers who have linked up!

Barbecues are one of the great pleasures of summer, with the unmistakable aroma of hot coals and outdoor cooking always seeming to accompany the hottest days of the year. However, there are two major risks associated with barbecues that we should all be aware of — food poisoning and fire. We want to help make sure your barbecue is safe as well as fun, so here are some pointers to help you avoid both.
Preventing food poisoning
- Defrost meat in the fridge — make sure it's completely defrosted before you start cooking.
- Light the barbecue well in advance to allow time for it to heat up. The coals should be glowing red before you start to cook.
- Pre-cook chicken in the oven before finishing it off on the barbecue.
- Make sure you wash your hands regularly, especially if you're handling both raw and cooked food.
- Eat the food as soon as it's ready.
Keeping blazes confined to the barbecue
Summer is the worst season for fire claims, with dry weather and barbecues contributing to household blazes.
- Choose a sheltered site for your barbecue and keep it away from fences, plants or anything else that could catch fire.
- Make sure children and pets stay out of the way.
- Only use lighter fuel specifically designed for barbecues and don't add any more once you've got the fire going.
- Keep a fire extinguisher to hand, or a bucket of water or sand.
- Don't wear loose clothing that might catch light — wear oven gloves and use long-handled utensils.
- Once you've finished, extinguish the fire before leaving it and make sure the coals and ashes are completely cold before you dispose of them.
- Put ashes on your garden or compost heap, not in with your normal rubbish.

New Delhi: Election Commissioner Navin Chawla will take over as the next Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) on 20 April, succeeding N. Gopalaswami who will retire on that day.
Chawla, an IAS officer of the 1969 batch, will hold charge till 29 July, 2010 when he will attain the age of 65 years.
New horizons: Navin Chawla. Harikrishna Katragadda / Mint
"The President has approved the appointment of Navin Chawla as the Chief Election Commissioner with effect from 20 April on completion of the tenure of N. Gopalaswami," a Rashtrapati Bhavan communique said.
Chawla, who will be taking over in the midst of the five-phased Lok Sabha elections, will oversee four phases of the polls.
The elevation of Chawla, who was appointed as Election Commissioner on 13 May,2005, comes after a controversy triggered by Gopalaswami's recommendation to the President for his removal from office for alleged 'partisan' functioning.

Jonathan "Jon Jon" Thompson- Georgia- 2009 Jul 15, 2014 15:31:41 GMT -5
Post by Scumhunter on Jul 15, 2014 15:31:41 GMT -5
(Above photo credit: amw.com archives)
Profile statistics as of July 15th, 2014 (Based on May 2010 news article, wanted location)
Race: Black
Age: 33-35
Height: 5'9
Weight: 225 lbs.
Who to call if you've seen him: Douglas Police Department (912) 384-2222 or contact Greater Atlanta Crime Stoppers. You can submit a web to them by clicking on this link: www.crimestoppersatlanta.org/Fugitives-26
Jonathan "Jon Jon" Thompson was briefly aired on AMW sometime after 2010. His archived profile is gone so I have transcribed his AMW radio segment:
"On Nov 8th, 2009 cops say Jonathan Thompson was looking for a high school student named Demea Andrews in Douglas, Georgia. Thompson believed Demea ripped him off in a drug deal. Eventually cops say Thompson tracked his target down to a basketball court, then pulled out a gun and opened fire on Demea, killing him on the spot. Then cops say Thompson took off, eventually landing at the home of an aunt and uncle in Michigan, but when they found out what he'd done, they kicked him out. Now cops believe Thompson could be in Daytona, Florida, working for a lawn service, and using his nickname 'Jon Jon'."
Thoughts? It sort of surprises me he hasn't been caught yet since there seems to be many people who know who he is. I wish the aunt and uncle had called the cops on him instead of just kicking him out. They had the moral high ground to kick him out but not to have him arrested. He's probably somewhere getting help from a friend or associate.

Welcome to the NINDS Parkinson's Disease Biomarkers Program (PDBP)
The ultimate goal for the treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD) treatment is to develop disease-modifying treatments that slow, prevent or reverse the underlying disease process. Biomarkers of disease progression will dramatically accelerate PD treatment research because it will allow us to: 1) complete clinical trials for treatment discovery in a shorter timeframe; and 2) make sure that our treatments are actually impacting the biological causes of Parkinson's disease, not just the symptoms. To learn more about the PDBP and the accomplishments to date, please read the fifth edition of the PDBP Newsletter (PDBP Newsletter Vol 3, Issue 1). This will be a quarterly publication for PDBP participants and caregivers designed to update participants about the progress of the study as well as share participant experiences regarding PD clinical research.
More than 1436 participants have been enrolled in the PDBP, as of June 2016, which represents 98% of the targeted enrollment!
NINDS blog on the PDBP by Story Landis (find out more about this program)
The PDBP has enrolled and continues to enroll participants who fall into three main diagnostic categories:
- People with Parkinson's Disease
- People who do not have Parkinson's disease nor another neurological diagnosis, known as "controls"
- People with a Parkinson-like disorder (Parkinsonism) which is not Parkinson's disease (PD). Examples of parkinsonisms include: Multiple system atrophy (MSA); Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP); Corticobasal degeneration (CBD); Atypical parkinson's disease (APD); Essential tremor (ET).
We have seven clinical sites actively enrolling participants:
- Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH)
- John's Hopkins University (JHU)
- Penn State University (PSU)
- University of Alabama (UAB)
- University of Florida (UFL)
- University of Texas Southwestern (UTSW)
- University of Washington (in Washington State) (just starting to enroll)

If, you are in the fortunate position of having honey to extract, before you do anything, please remember our Honey Show (Saturday 2 September).
Check your boxes carefully to find that perfect frame, sealed to the edges and proud of the frame. Wrap it in cling film and put it in the freezer until you can show it off in September. That must be the easiest show entry!
If you are extracting liquid honey, after filtering, fill two 1lb jars and add them to the frame in the freezer. This will keep the honey liquid. (If you need 1lb jars, let me know we have lots in store at reasonable prices).
If, on the other hand, your honey is trying to set as you filter it, then it is best to let it do that and enter the crystallised class.
If you would like to show soft set honey and don't know the techniques, there is plenty of advice available on the National Honey Show website www.honeyshow.co.uk
You can improve the presentation of your honey by slightly overfilling the jar, leaving it in a warm place, maybe a sunny (?) windowsill, for a couple of days, and then skimming the surface to remove small bubbles and specks of dust.
There are classes for confectionary, cakes and biscuits as well so whatever your talent and whatever sort of honey you have, there is a class for you at our local show. Remember, 2 September at the Alresford Show.
A Note from your Show Secretary (similar, but not the same, as last year's…)
Here is a reminder that the Honey Show is scheduled for Saturday September 2nd this year. We need at least a hundred entries to award a Blue Ribbon for the Best Exhibit in the Show. Last year, this was won by John Lauwerys, for 6 matching jars for sale (incidently, Jean won in the same class in 2015…). The winner gets a (large) bowl, and free entry to the National Honey Show in the autumn.
This year, I've booked Tom Salter as our Judge. Tom is very experienced (he does National level), and a very fair judge towards beginners too, and I hope you will all rise to the occasion. I will be sad, and may be grumpy, if we don't get a good set of entries for him.
Every Honey Show is intended to "Show off" to the general public, telling them what a great product honey actually is. While there is a gentle competitive spirit between entrants, this is nowhere near as important as "showing the public". Surely every beekeeper should want to do that…?! When the honey is safely extracted, put a couple of jars by for the Show bench, and wait for the prize(s) to roll in! It doesn't need to be many jars (but I'd love the challenge of staging a record entry!). £5 for a first prize, AND you get the jar of honey back, to sell on later! You don't get your stake back, if you invest in a losing horse…
Even if you've never shown a jar of honey before, there are 2 classes for MVBKA novices. If you haven't won a First prize in any honey show (anywhere), you can put a jar into each of these classes, and only compete against similar non-prize-winners. If you win a novice class, there's the normal 1st prize of £5. But there's also a fiver for the best Novice entry... So, you could end up with £10 in your pocket, AND get the jar back to sell later! If you only took home the £3 for 2nd prize last year, you could put the same jar in this year (if you had but resisted eating it!). Most classes are open, but Novice classes are only for MVBKA folk. Sadly, that means that "Winchester Folk", who have occasionally camped onto our Show, are excluded from these, but it's also good for MVBKA folk to "try without worrying"…
The schedule should be included, and is similar to last year's. Don't forget about the new class for Wax Polish. Try it – the Judge might like it…! If you haven't extracted anything, or don't have the kit to make a candle, you can still enjoy the baking, or take a bee-related photo! Select as many classes as you are feel able to enter, then add a couple "just for fun", and then return the form please (or phone or email me).
"Good Luck".
For those members of MVBKA intending to sell cut comb, please could you label each container with the individual price. You can charge what you like (!), but last year we sold at 75p an ounce, plus 20p for the container. It's very helpful to the folk who check in your sale items if you separate your 8oz containers from the 6oz ones etc. (apologies if you only do metric!).
And, if you do "only do metric", I've made an attempt to metrify the Schedule this year, after years of prodding by various Judges (especially Tom). Look carefully, as my first attempt to translate "half an inch" came to 15cm, which would have provided an int'resting metaphysical challenge for putting your label "at the bottom" of a honey jar…

Reader, Matt Z., sent us a tale with a twist that left me quite aghast:
So I went into a Game Crazy many years back and checked out the SNES items on display at the counter. Holy crap! A Chrono Trigger in the box…MINT! Like, OMG Mint, too! In fact, it looks like it's never been opened. Well, turns out, it was never opened…the guy at the register told me that he'd just removed the cellophane!
I told him I'll take it. $24.99! This was many years back when a CIB was going for $300. Once I had the game in my hand I lectured the dude on how much of a dumbass he was. I told him a sealed Chrono Trigger was around $600+ and his lack of gaming knowledge should get him fired immediately! Walked out telling him he was a disgrace to gamers and game collectors.
Now, I wouldn't advocate cursing out an employee that landed you such a great deal, but what a find! Great games like this, in this condition, are a sight to behold!

text: |Autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved process by which portions of cytosol and organelles are sequestered into double-membrane vesicles and degraded upon fusion with lysosomal compartments. As autophagy is involved in cell growth, survival, development and death, the levels of autophagy must be properly regulated, as indicated by the fact that dysregulated autophagy has been linked to many human pathophysiologies, such as cancer, myopathies, neurodegeneration, heart and liver diseases, and gastrointestinal disorders. Therapeutic exploitation of this process requires a clear understanding of its regulation. Although substantial progress has recently been made in understanding the molecular mechanisms of the autophagy machinery, there is limited information on how cellular signaling pathways regulate this complex process and many unanswered questions remain in the regulation of autophagy.To figure out new regulators of autophagy, we screened a yeast knockout library (covering100%of the yeast nonessential genes) and a conditional temperature-sensitive mutants collection (covering~65%of the yeast essential genes) for strains that are deficient in autophagy using the GFP-Atg8assay, and identity the ubiquitin-activating enzyme Ubal temperature-sensitive mutant (ubal-ol) cells with a block in autophagy. Laser scanning confocal microscope (LSCM) and western blot analysis showed that the ubal-ol cells had severe defects in the nitrogen or glucose starvation induced autophagy, which can be rescued by a plasmid-borne wild type UBA1. The fact that the ubal-ol cells showed normal autophagy activity during rapamycin treatment indicated that Ubal probably act through the upstream of TORC1to regulate autophagy. Therefore we move on to detect the TORC1activity in the Ubal wild type (WT) and ubal-ol cells during starvation or rapamycin treatment, and found that ubal-ol delayed the nitrogen starvation induced TORC1inactivation but not the glucose starvation or rapamycin treatment induced TORC1inactivation. Furthermore, ubal-ol doesn't affect TORCl's reactivation after its inactivation, suggesting that Ubal probably act on some upstream negative regulator of TORC1or directly affect the TORC1activity to regulate the nitrogen starvation induced autophagy. Notably, TORC1was quickly inactivated during the glucose starvation in the uba1-o1cells but it still showed a severe block in autophagy, which means that Ubal might also act through the downstream of TORC1to regulate the glucose starvation induced autophagy. So we tried to check whether the Atg1complex could be recruited to the pre-autophagosomal structure (PAS) normally in the uba1-o1cells. The results showed that the Atg1complex in the uba1-o1cells could not be properly recruited to the PAS during the nitrogen or glucose starvation, but not that case during the rapamycin treatment. Together with the TORC1activity results, we hypothesized that the uba1-o1cells had defects in some step between TORC1inactivation and the Atg1complex being recruited to the PAS during the glucose starvation. Then we analyzed the phosphorylation states of Atg13and its interaction with Atg1in the uba1-o1cells during the nitrogen or glucose starvation, and found that Atg13were hyperphosphorylated and there were no interaction between Atg1and Atg13in both cases. Therefore, Ubal probably act on the phosphates responsible for Atg13dephosphorylation to regulate the glucose starvation induced autophagy.Overall, we successfully identified Uba1as a new regulator of autophagy and dissected the probable step at which Uba1regulated autophagy during the nitrogen or glucose starvation respectively. However, the direct targets through which Uba1regulates autophagy needs further study.

The following is from an article on graciemag.com:
Vitor Belfort went through a period of training at Chute Boxe. The figher was impressed with the group's organization and structure. Belfort has a fight set for the July 19 Affliction.
"This partnership is promising, I always dreamed of training at Chute Boxe getting to know the team. These days in Brazil we have to always seek to help each other out and Chute Boxe received me in impressive fashion, I'm grateful for the way Master Rudimar and the team received me," stated Belfort.
The athlete performed mauy thai and boxing specific training with coach Julinho Borges and Wrestling / physical conditioning with coach Cristopher Led. Vitor praised the techniques taught to him and said he was surprised by the way the coaches use the fighters' body types with the exercises applied. Vitor returned on Sunday to Rio de Janeiro where he will be getting ready to return to Curitiba to begin training. The information is on the official Chute Boxe site.

We are excited to announce that Keela Rodriguez was appointed as the newest member of Placer Land Trust's Board of Directors at the December 2016 Board meeting.
Keela is a resident of Lincoln and the Branch Manager of Stewart Title in Lincoln. Realizing the community of Lincoln wasn't being directly serviced by a title company, she opened the office in July 2014, providing the only local title and escrow service to residents and businesses in Lincoln. Before opening the Stewart Title office, she was with First American Title in Roseville for over 10 years. She brings to the Board an experience in real estate transactions which will be very beneficial to our work protecting land in Placer County.
Originally from Midland, MI, Keela was raised by her great grandmother until the age of 12, when she moved with her parents to the Bay Area. In 1992, she began attending Sierra Nevada College, a private college in the North Lake Tahoe area, focusing on business. She also went through the police academy and was a Deputy Constable in Incline Village for two years. She moved to Roseville and started her career in title and escrow in 1998.
Keela is active in her local community by serving on several committees, including the bond oversight committee with the Western Placer Unified School District. She is also a former Planning Commissioner for the City of Lincoln.
"What's important to me is to leave a legacy behind," explains Keela. "I don't do it for the popularity. I was taught humility by my step-dad and to have a servant's heart. That's where my passion lies."
She is married to Chris and they have a blended family with six children and one grandchild (so far). "I love being a Mom and Grandma," said Keela. "It's the best thing I've ever done in my life and what I'm most proud of."
Keela calls herself "a foody", and enjoys trying new restaurants as well as wine tasting. She and her husband like to travel, hike, and they recently took three of their kids on a vacation in Cancun for Christmas. "Making memories for my kids" is something you hear Keela say when she talks about their family vacations.
"We are delighted to have Keela join our Board of Directors", said Placer Land Trust Board President Fred Yeager. "We know her experience and connections within the community will be a direct benefit for our organization as we continue to follow our mission of preserving land for current and future generations."
Welcome and congratulations Keela!

This week I'm 21 weeks and shit's getting real. I've been out of some of my pre-pregnancy clothes for a while and now I'm still in one pair of pants, but not for long. I finally broke down and got some amazing maternity jeans (here) and a couple basic tee's from Target. This brought into light, something I have always struggled with, but with pregnancy the struggle is REAL: I have a very long torso. Very long. And I'm beginning to realize that I'm carrying a bit low. What does this mean?
Maternity tops are too short for me. So I sent my fashion guru (Meg from MyMonochromaticLife) on the search for some cute tunics. She managed to come up with some things that have made it on the shopping list (and I've added a few other essentials as well)...
I've discovered that I really need some maternity leggings and maternity tanks. These are essentials for me. So I found these Maternity Full-Panel Jersey Leggings and these Shirred Tanks from Old Navy I'm excited to give a try.
Finding good tunics is not an easy task, but Meg was up for it. The first one she sent was the Junarose Woven Tunic from Asos. At first I wasn't sure, and within seconds I realized that this would so flattering now, until the end of my pregnancy, so in the basket it goes! This Grapevine Tunic from Free People is just about the best thing I've ever seen. I'm going to get it in coral (I'm forcing myself to not get it in gray). It's fab.
Target has been a decent place to look for clothes lately, but I'm not going to lie. Their maternity section sucks. This Mixed Media Side Split Tee from Mossimo will work for maternity though. Definitely picking one up in my standard: gray. The last item she sent (or maybe second to last, who knows?) was this Blush Pink Sweater from Lulu's. I LOVE how long this is. It just seems so comfy and should last me another couple months. Eventually it will be too warm for California, but I really love it and it will work for seasons to come!


text: I have just driven down to Chester le Street (petrol cost), parked (parking cost) to pick something from the Post Office that was apparently sent with insufficient postage. Fine, I understand that people should put the correct postage on. It was short 12p + £1 'handling fee' (which appears to be a fine on the innocent recipient). All this is very irritating. But I happen to know that item was sent on 15th March. I was notified on 28th. I can see that it can take an extra couple of days to process - but 13 days! No wonder people are switching to ecards. I'm betting next Mothers' Day my daughter doesn't put it in the post.

Dear readers,
Welcome to the second EU-GEI annual Newsletter!
The EU-GEI project took off in May 2010 and has now reached its succesful completion of the second project year. Within these first 2 years, the EU-GEI consortium has established a high-quality and well-running research infrastructure for our multicenter, multinational investigations on gene-environment interactions in schizophrenia. Data collection in EU-GEI is now fully up and running, and all our partners are currently very active in including large amounts of valuable data on genetic, environmental and clinical variables in patients, family members and control subjects.
The original consortium of 26 partners in 11 European countries, China and Australia, funded under the theme Health of the Seventh Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development of the EU, has expanded over the last two years with 8 affiliated partners in Brazil, Italy, Denmark, Belgium, France, Spain and Serbia.
EU-GEI is thus fully alive, reaching full maturation and is thriving well!
This Newsletter will highlight some of the research projects and scientists centrally involved in EU-GEI.
One very valuable asset for EU-GEI is the study on twins as conducted by Jeroen de Coster and others in Belgium.
Findings from another very interesting EU-GEI study, by Mary Cannon, Ian Kelleher and colleagues in Dublin, on children with psychotic-like experiences are also discussed and these findings received already a lot of attention in the media.
The EU-GEI consortium also consists of small-to-medium sized entreprises (SMEs), and EU-GEI work by one of these SMEs, the company called Mediamens, is illustrated in the Spotlight article of the Newsletter
Dr. Matthew Kempton is the star of the Newsletter's young investigator article as he has received a very prestigious award for his EU-GEI related work and obtained funding for extending EU-GEI's research on individuals with prodromal signs of psychosis.
You can furthermore get a glimpse on a day in the life of Luigi Chiri en Thomas Marcacci, two EU-GEI scientists working at the University of Bologna in Italy, and you can read about the fantastic endeavor by prof. dr. Inez Myin-Germeys who has cycled all the way from Maastricht, the Netherlands, to the summit of the Mont Ventoux in France to increase public awareness on psychosis.
The Newsletter will also give you some insight in one of our world-reknown educational courses, the Maudsley forum, that is organized by EU-GEI scientists and provides researchers and health professionals in the field of psychiatry with state-of-the-art education.
I hope you will enjoy reading this second annual Newsletter, and please feel free to contact us if you want to make a contribution in the future; input from all kinds of stakeholders and audiences is much appreciated!
Bart RuttenVice-coordinator of EU-GEI
by Jeroen Decoster and Ruud van WinkelUniversity Psychiatric Centre - KU LeuvenMaastricht University - Department of Psychiatry and Psychology
It is known that genetic as well as environmental factors underlie complex mental disorders like depression and schizophrenia. Moreover, the interplay between genetic and environmental factors can no longer be ignored. However, practical, theoretical and ethical problems can hamper research of causal factors of psychiatric disorders. Experimental paradigms in non-clinical samples offer an elegant approach to overcome these problems.
In the Experimental Work Package of EU-GEI, 3 different studies are conducted: two in Mannheim under the supervision of Andreas Meyer-Lindenberg (WP leader) and Marcus Leweke (co-leader), and one at Leuven University in Belgium (TwinssCan).
For TwinssCan, a well documented general population twin cohort (the East Flanders Prospective Twin Survey [EFPTS]) could be accessed. Experimental designs were developed to test (aberrant) salience attribution and sensitivity to social stress and rejection, both candidate psychological risk mechanisms for the development of psychosis. Also reward sensitivity, to be considered as a protective mechanism for psychiatric illness, was experimentally conceptualised. Symptomatology is being assessed using structured interviews, questionnaires and an electronic momentary assessment technology device (PsyMate®) that samples experiences in the context of daily life.
Examining above-mentioned characteristics in a group of adolescent twins allows for the study of the role of genes and environment. In addition, (aberrant) psychological mechanisms and subclinical symptoms can be studied without the influence of the one on the other, using cross-twin, cross-trait designs. And finally, the young age of the twins (15 to 18 years) makes it possible to gather information during a very important period in life for the possible development of psychological problems. Our planned follow-up measurements can help to elucidate the pathway from mild psychological problems to psychotic disorders.
As of August 2012, already more than 250 twin pairs (500 individuals) participated in TwinssCan. They all completed the experimental tasks, diagnostic interviews and provided extensive information on relevant environmental exposures. All twins also donated genetic material (saliva) and participated in the PsyMate® data collection over the course of six consecutive days. A year after the first contact with the twins, they are contacted again for follow-up measurements. From May 2012 the first included twins already participated in the second of four yearly follow-up waves. The TwinssCan protocol will also be applied in a twin study in Hong Kong, under the supervision of Dr Timothea Toulopoulou, allowing for an even larger data collection using this protocol.
Thanks to a big organizational effort of our research team and, above all, the willing cooperation of the young twins, we will be able to collect a very informative dataset. Analysis of these data will help in reaching a better understanding of the etiology of schizophrenia and will hopefully lead to improved prevention, detection and treatment.

While hallucinations and delusions have classically been viewed as symptoms of schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders, it is now known that these symptoms occur relatively commonly in the population. Literature reviews have reported that about 5% of adults and 8-17% of children and adolescents in the community report these symptoms. Because psychotic symptoms are associated with an increased risk for schizophrenia-spectrum illness later in life, they provide a valuable high risk paradigm for psychosis researchers. However, despite a relatively increased psychosis risk, the majority of young people who report psychotic symptoms will never develop a psychotic disorder. What, then, are the clinical implications of psychotic symptoms in childhood and adolescence beyond a relative increased risk for psychotic disorder in adulthood?
Now, members of the EU-GEI consortium Ian Kelleher and Mary Cannon, together with colleagues at the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland, University College Dublin and the Irish National Suicide Research Foundation have reported on research in 4 community samples looking at the prevalence of psychotic symptoms as well as the rates of co-occurring psychiatric disorders in young people in the general population. In line with previous community studies, the prevalence of psychotic symptoms in the population was high – about 1 in 5 young people aged 11 to 12 years reported experiencing psychotic symptoms, compared to about 1 in 15 young people aged 13 to 15 years. This work, however, showed for the first time that the majority of young people in the population who reported psychotic symptoms had at least one (non-psychotic) psychiatric disorder, including high prevalences of mood disorders, such as major depressive disorder, and behavioural disorders, such as attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder. What is more, this work demonstrated that these symptoms were strongly associated with multimorbidity – that is, having 2 or more disorders. In fact, in all four samples, the likelihood of reporting psychotic symptoms increased in line with the number of psychiatric disorders. For example, in the mid adolescence study, 8% of the young people with 1 psychiatric disorder reported psychotic symptoms, compared to 30% of young people with 2 disorders and 40% of young people with 3 or more disorders (see Figure). These results highlight that when a patient reports psychotic symptoms there is high risk that he or she will have more than 1 diagnosable disorder and this, in turn, should prompt treating clinicians to consider the potential importance of multiple therapeutic targets and/or approaches in treating patients with psychotic symptoms. From a theoretical point of view, the high prevalence of psychotic symptoms found in young people with non-psychotic disorders further blurs the line historically drawn between neurotic and psychotic disorders in psychiatry.
Figure: Prevalence of psychotic symptoms in young people with 0, 1, 2 and 3 or more Axis-1 psychiatric disorders. The green and blue lines show results from 2 studies of young people aged 11 to 13 year olds. The black and red lines show results from 2 studies of young people aged 13 to 16 years. All four samples showed that the prevalence of psychotic symptoms increased in a dose-response fashion with the number of psychiatric disorders. An individual with 3 disorders might have, for example, major depressive disorder, social phobia and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder.

I often check MRI brain scans are the correct quality, but this was the first time I recognised the profile of a face in the image - it was a researcher I had met a few days before in an EU-GEI conference in London. Part of my job is to ensure MRI data acquired at each centre in our work package has the same parameters allowing us to combine the images. Before centres start scanning patients, I check the MRI data quality from images of staff volunteers, however in this case I was pleased to be able to put a name to the brain!
I help coordinate a talented and extremely hard working team of researchers spread across Europe, Australia and South America recruiting people who are at risk of developing psychosis as part of EU-GEI. The work package is led by Philip McGuire and Lucia Valmaggia and in London I have been working with Gemma Modinos who manages data collection locally (spot us in the WAIS training video!). In addition to MRI scans, the rapidly growing dataset includes clinical, environmental, neuropsychological and genetic data.
The centres in our work package interview patients in French, Dutch, Portuguese, Danish, German and English. The huge job of translating the questionnaires has been coordinated by Wendy Beuken and colleagues in Maastricht with a network of dedicated researchers in each country. I was involved in translating the verbal fluency task. In the English version, participants name objects starting with the letters F, A, then S. Rather than use the same letters in the translations, we tried to match the first letter frequency for each language. This isn't as simple as it sounds; EU-GEI researcher Charlotte Rapp in Switzerland enlisted the help of a professor in computer science to calculate the frequencies from German text, and Lasse Randers in Denmark contacted the Danish Language Council to determine their first letter frequencies.
Blood unlike questionnaire data and MRI scans cannot yet be sent electronically! so one antidote to sitting at the computer all day, is assembling the genetic packs which I send out in boxes to each group in our work package. Each pack includes 8 blood sampling tubes per participant which are processed at each centre and then sent in batches back to London. To ensure nothing gets misplaced individual bar codes are printed for each subject and attached to each and every tube used in processing the samples (38000 labels so far).
EU-GEI is a great starting point for future projects and I am grateful for the opportunity to build on the study after I obtained a fellowship to acquire follow-up MRI scans. To ensure the comparability of MRI data I will travel with 4 colleagues to have our brains scanned at each centre, needless to say I have plenty of volunteers.
Outside work I am happily adjusting to fatherhood, as our first child was born in June. She is stuck with my genes but I hope to give her the very best environment.

On November 24th 2008 Mediamens got a mail on behalf of EU-GEI: "We are glad to let you know that your proposal is the one that better fits our necessities. Welcome on board!"
After a few meetings with the project team coordinated by Jim van Os we began implementing in 2009. First of all a project logo for EU-GEI and GET-THERE. After this was completed, we continued with the real challenge: a website to provide researchers all over the world with information and training for the instruments to be assessed in the EU-GEI project. The training website - named GET-THERE - is an interactive website, a joint virtual practice, training and reliability area. In order to achieve good reliability, a researcher will find practice tapes (with feedback options) and tapes to determine inter-rated reliability. Besides web design and programming, Mediamens translated (some) and subtitled the audiovisual material for the presented most advanced instruments. We also implemented questionnaires and programmed the necessary embedded tests. Based on the given answers the website automatically informs researchers if they have passed the test for inter-rater reliability and that they are thereby allowed to continue with the next test.
Mediamens is a Dutch agency for communication, design and new media. We have a special interest and experience in new media and internet communication, with a focus on digital customized applications in particular.

Psychiatric symptoms are one of the few remaining taboos in the 21st century. The illness is easily condemned by outsiders, relatives often feel guilty, and patients keep silent 'it is hard enough as it is'. The media is not really helping either. Research in Belgium in 2011 showed that in 66% of the times that the term schizophrenia was used in the media, it was used in a negative way.Still, psychiatric disorders are amongst the most prevalent and most invalidating health problems.
EU-GEI partners MUMC and the University Psychiatric Hospital Kortenberg (third party to KU Leuven) have decided to make a start with breaking this taboo in the Netherlands and Belgium and they have sent Inez Germeys (WP7) on a bike trip to raise awareness. The trip was a mere 1329 kilometers to the Mont Ventoux in France.
While the bike tour was being planned in 17 stages including a day's rest by Bob Germeys (Inez' father), both MUMC and Kortenberg organized meetings and lectures, baked muffins to be sold, put together a vernissage, visited schools and sent out PR-teams to various activities and happenings: a positive campaign to announce the bike-event, to start the discussion on psychiatric disorders and to create awareness.
Inez was sent off on two official occasions with speeches, a number of activities and accompanying cyclists during the first two stages of the trip: on June 27 from Kortenberg and on June 28 from Maastricht. From the third stage onwards she was on her own, only accompanied on bike by her father.
In successful stages of approximately 95 kilometers each and a total of 14.921 meters in altitude, Bob and Inez reached the foothills of the Mont Ventoux on July 11. The Giant of the Provence was ascended twice: on July 12 from Sault and on July 13 via the tough climb from Bédoin.
MUMC and the University Psychiatric Hospital Kortenberg can look back on a successful campaign and raising awareness to openly discuss psychiatric disorders. This initiative is only a beginning, but both institutes are committed to continue!
Inez was the first to accept this sports challenge, and invites you to follow her footsteps or rather, her bike tour!

The reason rap deserves its own hall of fame
Elvis Presley, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Queen, The Rolling Stones, Public Enemy, Run-D.M.C. and NWA. What do all of these groups have in common? They are all members of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Yes, that's right. Public Enemy, Run-D.M.C. and NWA, three of the all-time greatest rap groups, are all in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. How does this make sense?

Made in America festival takes over Parkway for fifth year
The Ben Franklin Parkway was originally designed to emulate the Champs-Elysees in Paris. Going all the way from beautiful City Hall, down past Logan Circle, up through the tricky to navigate Eakins Oval and ending at the iconic Art Museum, if you squint a little you can almost see the resemblance to the famous French thoroughfare.

Former 'American Idol' star Tori Kelly plays Electric Factory
Monday, April 25, Tori Kelly took over the Electric Factory with her glass-shattering voice, touring the city as part of her "Unbreakable Tour." As someone who loves concerts, I have wanted to catch the former American Idol contestant and YouTube star perform live for a while now and was very excited to see her. I had high expectations, especially after watching her perform "Should've Been Us" at the MTV Video Music Awards last August where she demonstrated her insane vocal skills, and she didn't fail to exceed those expectations for a minute.

The Frights display dirty doo-wop on latest album
The Frights, "surf punk band" from San Diego known for their dirty doo-wop tracks, released their album "You Are Going to Hate This" Feb. 12. Flashback to a group of bored high school friends, Mikey Carnevale (guitar and vocals), Marc Finn (drums), and Richard Dotson (bass) would've never imagined their success in the industry today. This alternative band is known to be influenced by the 1950s with an added punk twist. "You Are Going to Hate This" may have a new sound but stays consistent with the band's angsty and carefree vibe.

However there's no way to change the battery icon to 1% except use CM settings. I tried to modified other ppl's framework-res.apk but got menu color problem, most of the current theme using black/dark menu but I like the white one. ONLY TESTED ON Wolfbreak's CM 6.1.3 V053 So I compiled the framework-res.apk and changed the XML to display 1% battery icon in the status bar only, didn't touch anything else. Hope this could be kinda useful for some of you. I've uploaded 2 versions one with my own simple battery icon while another one using kevjef420's MattedBlues battery icon. I borrowed the charging icons from kevjef420's theme hope that's fine. You're happy to change to any battery icons you'd like. No HW LED issue with the work. Simple version: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=T696OPD9 MattedBlues version (didn't test but should be ok): http://www.megaupload.com/?d=35OHC6U5

|Official photo from the Ant-Man Facebook page
By Felicity Rodger
EDINBURGH, United Kingdom – Ever killed an insect? You might not want to kill this one. This new type of superhero comes on a completely different level to any Avenger ... literally.
Paul Rudd and Michael Douglas star in Ant-Man, an epic new film showing that small creatures are mightier than you think.
Rudd's character, Scott, is your average, lovable rogue. He seems to always find himself in trouble, until his unique skills come to the attention of former hero Dr. Hank Pym, played by Douglas.
With the help of Dr. Pym's daughter, Hope – played by Evangeline Lilly from The Hobbit film trilogy – the three seek to stop upcoming mastermind Darren Cross from destroying the planet with his new invention.
This new Marvel film has really set the boundary for the future of the franchise. Imaginative plot lines, along with witty humor, create a more light-hearted superhero classic which will, no doubt, be revisited in years to come.
There are some areas which the film fails in comparison to others. For example, the accompanying music isn't as recognisable as some of the great scores from the Captain America or Thor films.
The fast-moving storyline requires full attention to keep up to date with each scene. But this does give an advantage – we miss out a lot of long pieces of dialogue that we have seen in the Avengers many times.
Apart from this, Ant-Man really is worth the watch. It follows on very well from this year's Avengers: Age of Ultron and gives a desired, fresh new face to the Marvel Universe which I will be glad to see return to the big screens very soon.

Before it was called Montreal, this was a place where First Nations met.
A large fire would be set to mark the upcoming meeting and people would "park their canoes and climb the mountain" to come to the big conference, according to Mohawk Council of Kahnawake Chief Christine Zachary-Deom.
"Our First Nation people would paddle from every direction to come into Montreal," she told international delegates meeting in the city for a conference on climate change on Wednesday. "So that's what you have done today. You are welcome to the Mohawk territory."
Her greeting helped open the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) meeting in the metropolitan Quebec city this week, which takes place at the International Civil Aviation Organization's downtown headquarters. From now until Sunday, its members will pool their academic expertise as they carry out their work of providing sound climate science assessments to governments and policy-makers.
Behind closed doors, their goals are to outline how their working groups will contribute to the panel's sixth assessment report, which examines what will happen to the planet if the global temperature rises 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. They expect to release a finalized agenda for that report in 2019.
The IPCC is nearly 30 years old, and was first established by the United Nations and the World Meteorological Organization to "provide a scientific basis for governments at all levels to develop climate-related policies."
Its meeting in Canada is hosted by the federal government, but both Environment and Climate Change Minister Catherine McKenna and Science Minister Kirsty Duncan were not in attendance.
'Slow and steady' progress
According to vice-chairwoman Thelma Krug, who spoke on Wednesday during a media workshop, the international organization's role aims to inform governments, while the panel itself remains neutral.
Its dedication to science and neutrality, however, haven't protected it from the fallout of President Donald Trump's climate change skepticism, which has included his country's withdrawal from the Paris climate change accord and a major reduction in its financial contributions to the IPCC's research.
What is the #IPCC? This 📹 may answer some of your questions. Tomorrow we begin #IPCC46 in #Montreal. #AR6 #polcan pic.twitter.com/DMIfdZ7aQG— IPCC (@IPCC_CH) September 5, 2017
"It's slow and steady progress," Zachary-Deom told National Observer, describing what she heard at the meeting's opening ceremony about the organization's work.
"But it comes down eventually to each individual. First of all it comes with world countries that are looking to see what is required of them to do, then to get their citizens to comply is a second thing. To get the individuals to comply is the most difficult part I think, because without compliance and work, we're not going to achieve."
Turning ideas into action is the hardest part, she added.
Politicians absent from opening ceremony
The federal environment and science ministers sent video messages in lieu attending the conference Wednesday. Both are wrapped up with federal Liberal caucus meetings taking place in Kelowna, B.C. this week.
"Because (McKenna) was unable to speak in person... we recorded a video from the minister so she could personally express how proud she is that Canada's hosting these climate scientists, and wish them well for the work they have this week," said Caitlin Workman, a spokeswoman for McKenna's office, in an email to National Observer.
"That's because, unlike the Harper conservatives who came before us, our government is wholeheartedly supportive of our climate scientists. We know the research they do now is crucial to informing the right decisions on the part of governments like Canada's who are determined to act on climate, and support the kind of innovations that will not only reduce our emissions but also grow the economy and create good jobs."
Also absent from Wednesday's opening ceremony was Quebec Premier Philippe Couillard. A spokesman for Mayor Denis Coderre's office said the City of Montreal would be represented during the meetings by its environment department director.
In response to these absences, Greenpeace climate and energy campaigner Patrick Bonin, who attended the IPCC meetings on Wednesday, emphasized the importance of having politicians on the ground and engaging with climate scientists.
"I think it's obvious that we also need politicians to be here, and to understand where we're at with the most advanced science on climate change, how we're seeing various extreme events happening in North America, including disastrous forest fires and most recently (Hurricane) Harvey," he said.
"It's important that politicians understand that we're not on track to meet Paris Accord targets that Canada has committed to, and that they come up with more climate action and more measures."
The IPCC includes 195 member states, and the people in Montreal this week are representatives of those states.
This round of meetings is expected to include updates on future special studies of climate change impacts on land, the ocean and cryosphere. Progress reports are scheduled to be delivered by task forces dedicated to analyzing climate data and national greenhouse gas inventories. The international organization will also discuss its budget.
