Recovery 'solid' with construction up in July
House and commercial construction picked up in July. House building in particular still lags well behind market and social needs, but data from Ulster Bank's Construction Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) suggests output wasn't affected by Brexit.
The Index hit 61 in July, well over the 50 level marking the cut off between growth and contraction.
"The continuation of strong trends in overall activity and new business provides important encouragement that the sector's recovery is maintaining solid momentum at present," Ulster Bank's Simon Barry said.

A Life For A Limb
Body Integrity Identity Disorder
It's not about experiencing the pain or self-mutilation, so why do people with Body Integrity Identity Disorder need to have certain appendages cut off in order to feel whole again?By Francie Horn, LCSW, CCBT, CRAT, BCD
Reproduced here with kind permission of the author and the editors: Social Work Today @ Great Valley Publishing, Co.
Original date of publication: February 24, 2003
It was a typical warm, sunny September day in Florida. Sitting cross-legged on the lawn, the eloquent, retired New York architect and entrepreneur rested the shotgun on his right tigh and slowly cocked the trigger. The explosion almost blew his leg off. "This is good," he thought. There was no pain. He made sure of that by aiming the barrel at a preselected spot on his knee. He had done his research well. He had tied the tourniquet tightly around his upper leg to lessen the amount of blood; but now, there was blood and muscle everywhere and his lower leg was just barely hanging on by a threads of muscle and tissue. He reached for the cordless phone that he had placed carefully beside him earlier and dialed 911 (G. Boyer, personal Communication).
This is George Boyer's story. He suffers from a little-known condition called Body Integrity Identity Disorder (BIID).
What is BIID?
BIID is a disorder in which a person has the obsessive need to have a healthy limb amputated in order to feel "normal," "whole;" and able-bodied. The original name of this disorder was coined apotemnophilia (A'- po'- 'TEM- nah 'FEELee- ah) by Dr. John Money, Dr. Russell Jobaris, and Dr. Gregg Furth (1977); however, it has never been included in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). I came to know George in early November 2001 while he was a patient at Orlando Regional Medical Center in Florida. He was having difficulty coping with a severe exacerbation of congestive heart failure and was experiencing significant anxiety and depressive symptoms. My job at the hospital is to provide brief counseling and psychotherapy to patients and families who are distressed or having difficulty coping with any issue that is affecting their recovery rate. George was admitted several times to our hospital over a two-month period; it took him several counseling sessions before he opened up to me and disclosed that he had BIID. Many people with BIID are too ashamed to admit it to their spouses or families - much less therapists or physicians - for fear of being harshly judged or ostracized. Because most surgeons refuse to amputate a healthy limb, some people with BIID have tried to induce the need for amputation by damaging the limb they want removed to ensure amputation (M. First, personal communication, May 24-25, 2002; Furth & Smith, 2000; Gregson, 2002). Although to some clinicians this may sound like body dysmorphic disorder, factitious disorder, malingering, or any number of other somatoform disorders, it is quite different (First, 2000). The person with BIID is not seeking attention, nor does he or she want the amputation because the limb "feels" defective. Instead, people with BIID are uncomfortable in their own "skin" until the limb they are fixated on is gone. There is an enormous amount of controversy over BIID, as it has been gaining increased media attention and recognition over the past couple of years. Most laypeople and many clinicians find the whole idea of self-demand (voluntary) amputation absurd and repugnant - "Why would anyone want the amputation of a perfectly healthy limb or to be an amputee?" Clinicians who have a grasp of BIID have equated the psychoemotional distress experienced by these patients with that experienced by those who have gender identity disorder or transgenderism. People with BIID experience the same obsessive and intrusive thinking that disrupts every aspect of their lives. They experience significant feelings of anxiety, shame, guilt, and preoccupation. This persistent discomfort and obsessiveness to have a limb amputated can become almost unbearable to someone who suffers from this disorder (Furth & Smith, 2000). For George, decades of agony, torment, and obsessiveness plagued him - he yearned to have his leg amputated. At age 11, George says that he realized "something enormously powerful" was enveloping him - "something that was savagely forbidden [by society]." His first recollection of attempting amputation was in 1968. He was experiencing a tumultuous time in his life. After accidentally injuring his leg while renovating an apartment, he decided to "exploit this injury" by driving a metal spike into the tibia of his leg. He felt little pain, so he kept driving the spike deeper and deeper into his leg. "The whole idea," George says, "was that I would contract osteomyelitis and that my leg would have to be amputated. "I introduced all kinds of foreign material [into the wound] hoping for that." To his utter dismay, after an extended hospitalization and recuperation, the osteomyelitis healed. The cause of the injury was listed as an accident in his hospital record (G. Boyer, personal communication).
Characteristics of subtypes
People with BIID describe themselves as fitting into three basic categories: "the wannabe," "the devotee," and "the pretender." The wannabe describes a nondisabled person who has an obsessive desire to have an amputation and may go to great lengths to have that limb amputated. It is the person's internal self-perception and identity without that limb that drives his or her actions. The devotee is a nondisabled person who is intensely drawn to people who have had amputations or can no longer use their limbs. A devotee can also be a wannabe. The pretender describes a nondisabled person who lives as if he or she has a disability, using medical equipment or paraphernalia (i.e., wheelchairs, crutches, braces, taping limbs together) in order to feign amputation. This type often feels frustrated that the "amputation" is not real but feels a sense of wholeness when pretending (Bruno, 1997; Furth & Smith, 2000).
Developmental factors
The research into this disorder is in its infancy, even though it has theoretically existed for decades. One fact that is certain is theres no single causal factor in the development of BIID. What is unclear at this time is whether this is a neuro-psychological disorder with biological roots or a psychosexual disorder (Carl, 2000). It is also unclear whether there is a single, precipitating traumatic event and if the parent(s) psychopathology predisposes the child to the development of BIID. What is known is that the person with BIID was exposed to an amputee at a critical early age and that the disorder manifested itself by age 6 or 7 (M. First, personal communication, May 24-25, 2002).
The case of "Butcher Brown" and other short stories
In May 1998, Phillip Bondy, 80, traveled from New York to a Tijuana, Mexico, clinic because a surgeon named John Ronald Brown, 75, of San Ysidro, California, was willing to perform his amputation for $10,000. Brown was known in the San Diego area as "Butcher Brown" for botching transsexual operations, which he had performed in garages and hotels. Brown had even spent time in prison for performing surgery without a license. He cut off Bondy's legs; one week later, Bondy was found dead in his hotel room from a resulting gangrenous infection and other medical complications. Brown was eventually convicted of second-degree murder and sentenced to 15 years to life for Bondy's death (Associated Press, 1998; Callahan, 1998; Cuen & Benkoil, 2000; Dotinga, 2000; G. Furth, personal communication, 2001).
Some patients with BIID will go to extreme lengths to alleviate their emotional pain. In 1999, a Milwaukee man severed his own arm with a homemade guillotine. That same year, a California attorney tied her legs up with tourniquets and packed them with dry ice in hopes of inducing a bilateral amputation. Another man used an electric saw; he lost his life. One person used a log splitter, while another deliberately laid down on railroad tracks and woke up in the hospital as a bilateral above-the-knee amputee. BIID sufferers extensively research the route of amputation that will elicit the least amount of pain, bleeding, and damage (Elliot, 2000; Furth & Smith, 2000; G. Furth, personal communication, 2001; Money, Jobaris, & Furth, 1977). As one BIID sufferer, Roger K., a multiple finger and toe amputee, wrote to me in a recent e-mail: "I am not a pain person. I numbed my fingers and toes before I did any amputation." For him, the ideal would be to live his life as a bilateral below-the-knee amputee (Roger K, personal communication, 2000). While these seem like extreme cases, similar stories are being told in whispers across the country. BIID sufferers deliberately surround themselves with such a strong veil of secrecy that even spouses and close family members rarely know they have the disorder. It becomes their own private hell. No one really knows, at this time, how prevalent the disorder is, but if the available information on the Internet is any indicator of how farreaching BIID may be, it is safe to say that it is more prevalent than what we have identified in the medical or psychiatric arenas. There are dozens of Web sites with new ones popping up all the time. One site boasts a membership of at least 1,400 subscribers (Furth & Smith, 2000; M. First, personal communication, May 24-25, 2002).
Current research
Depending on whom you talk to, the estimated prevalence rate ranges from 1% to 3% of the clinical population. But no one knows for sure. In May 2002, because of George, I was invited to a closed symposium on BIID at Columbia University in New York. Dr. Michael First, the editor of the DSM IV TR, discussed his current research data. What he has found, in short, is that most BIID sufferers are white males with college degrees, currently working or retired from white-collar jobs. Most have no alcohol or substance abuse problems; however, approximately one-half of the respondents did have a comorbid diagnosis of anxiety, depression, or obsessive-compulsive disorder. First also found that a high majority of sufferers had no desire for self-mutilation. The site of the amputation seems to be extremely important as well, according to the current research. Nearly one-half of the respondents preferred a left above-the-knee amputation (M. First, personal communication, May 24-25, 2002). One of the biggest problems that researchers are encountering is that many of the people with BIID who were successful in having their amputation do not want to be bothered now. They feel that since having had their limb(s) amputated, the anxiety and distress are gone. They have been able to put it behind them and continue with their lives. Many amputees return to their lives rejuvenated, energetic, and feeling able-bodied. Many go on to accomplish fantastic feats such as skiing, mountain climbing, racing cars, entrepreneurship-activities that the obsessiveness of the disorder squashed prior to their amputation (G. Furth, personal communication, 2001; M. First, personal communication,2oo2).
Criteria for inclusion in the DSM
So, how does a diagnosis become included in the DSM? It is not an easy task. The following diagnostic criteria and features need to be present: 1) A diagnosis must have "clinical relevance" with enough people suffering from the condition, 2) A new diagnostic category must not be covered by existing categories, 3) The disorder must be a legitimate "mental disorder" (e.g., until the 1970s, homosexuality was included in the DSM as being a psychiatric disorder), 4) The disability must not merely be a desire for any perceived cultural advantages (e.g., for thousands of years, Chinese mothers fractured their daughters feet so that they grew crooked because Chinese men found it erotic), 5) There must be evidence of clinically persistent and significant discomfort, distress, and preoccupation resulting in impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning (First, 2000; Furth & Smith, 2000; M. First, personal communication, May 24-25, 2002).
The hope is that BIID will be included in the DSM V, which is slated for publication in 2010, according to First (2002).
Current interventions
What has been the reaction of most mental health professionals? From personal observation, the reaction has generally been one of disgust. Dr. Gregg Furth, in several of my conversations with him, has told me that he has encountered similar reactions within his own psychiatric community (2001-2002). There are conflicting views of what intervention(s), if any, are useful in resolving or at least reducing the distress associated with BIID. Some believe that surgery is the only answer (Elliot, 2000). Others believe that psychotherapy in conjunction with the use of psychotropic medications useful in treating obsessive-compulsive disorders is the answer (Dotinga, 2000). There was a woman at the symposium who stated that she was in remission from the disorder through ongoing psychotherapy (Stephanie, personal communication, November-December 2002). Another BIID sufferer, Dan c., has been in Jungian Psychoanalysis for nearly one year now. He wrote me, saying: "I have made a great deal of progress in understanding why I wish to be an amputee and have made some significant progress in other areas of my life. This has not, so far, made a dent in the intensity of the desire" (Dan c., personal communications). Other therapeutic approaches have included the use of Aversion Therapy and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy; however, as Roger K. stated, although he was in cognitive therapy for some time, it did not lessen the obsessiveness of his desire (Roger K., personal communication, 2000).
Ethical considerations
In an article published in Salon magazine, Stacy Running, a San Diego prosecutor, stated that she knows of no laws in the United States that prohibit the amputation of a healthy limb (Dotinga, 2000). So, why do surgeons refuse to amputate healthy limbs at the request of their patients? What makes this different from someone who has cosmetic or body-altering surgery (i.e., breast augmentation, nose jobs, penile lengthening, implanting silicone horns, and screws in the skull)? The answer lies with the physician's own ethics, the "Hippocratic Oath," and perceived legal liabilities. Dr. Robert Smith is a surgeon from Scotland who has successfully amputated the healthy limbs of two men but has since been forbidden by the British Medical Council from performing any more voluntary amputations (Beckford-Ball, 2000; Cuen & Benkoil, 2000).
So whatever happened to George?
That warm September day in 1992, George thought he had everything planned thoroughly, but he had not counted on his new cordless phone not working out on the lawn. If it hadn't been for his landlady, George would have died. George finally got his wish, after an agonizing 10 days in the hospital where the doctors - expressly against George's wishes - tried fervently to save his leg. He won, though, and finally left the hospital with one less leg but also less the anxiety and obsession he had carried with him for so long. George now describes his life as full and rewarding. He enjoys retired life, making wonderful breads and jams and being involved in local activities. George says that the amputation was the best decision he had ever made in his life. His only regret is that he had not done it earlier. For others like him who have not had an amputation, they continue to struggle with the constant internal emotional torment this disorder causes, hoping for an answer and a cure.

This paper shows that if the execution of a program is divided into distinct intervals, it is possible for one processor or configuration to provide the best power efficiency over every interval, and yet have worse overall power efficiency over the entire execution than other configurations. This unintuitive behavior is a result of a seemingly intuitive use of power efficiency metrics, and can result in suboptimal design and execution decisions. This behavior may occur when using the energy-delay product and energy-delay product metrics but not with the energy metric.

9 Factors to Consider When Renting a House or Apartment
This article is brought to you by CORT Furniture Rental. We take the hassle out of furnishing your new place so you can do more important things like read this article. Learn more about why furniture rental is the best way to get a great looking apartment.
Deciding whether to rent a house or an apartment is a big decision for some. There are both benefits and downsides to consider for both sides before choosing a house or apartment.
Some may like the added amenities that come with one compared to the other based on how nice the apartment or house is. Others may value other factors that will be mentioned in the article. Here are nine major factors to consider when renting an apartment or house.
Typically, when thinking about space, a house is likely to have more area to roam in. In addition to more square footage inside, there will be a yard or outside area of some sort that will be amenable to pets, friends, and even neighbors.
While some apartments may offer parking space it is usually an added fee — a fee that some may be hesitant to dish out the extra money toward. If living with others with multiple vehicles, it might be a good idea to consider renting a house to have ample parking space for all automobiles and to save money in the long run on parking.
With a house or apartment, this could be up in the air. On one hand, with living in an apartment, you may run into noisy neighbors, unwanted guests, or simply an apartment complex that is not really ideal for privacy.
However, with living in a house, you can keep that contained to an extent. Based on who you choose to live with in a house, you could deal with roommates who like to be all up in your business or ones who know to leave you be and respect your space. In addition, living in a house, you'll likely deal less with neighbors or the like.
Major key alert here. If you are not a fan of shoveling the walkways, keeping the land tidy (i.e. mowing the lawn), keeping the garden up to date, and keeping up the house, it may be best to consider going the apartment route. There are trade-offs for each, sure, but if you value tedious chores, this could be a huge factor in your decision.
When relating houses to apartments typically in terms of location, apartments typically tend to have better locations in relation to distance to campus, bars, and the general hustle and bustle of college life. At least speaking from experience living in Champaign, most of the apartments (and excluding fraternity and sorority houses) were closer to the Quad and Green St. than a majority of the houses available. Want more of the urban scene? Consider renting an apartment.
By and large, the more roommates you have, the lower the cost will be between the group. Because of this and the fact that houses typically allow for more capacity compared to apartments, the cost per person will be lower on average than when living in an apartment. In addition, apartments will tend to be more updated than houses made available by many leasing companies. Because of the nicer layout and updated scenery, this too will affect the price.
Also, as mentioned before, keep in mind outside costs such as parking. With a house, you will most likely not have to pay for parking and the utilities and security deposit per person will be cheaper. The one obstacle to deciding to move into a house is finding enough people who you can potentially trust and see as roommates living in a house.
By this I mean, who do you really want to be your roommate(s)? When searching for an apartment, it will most likely be with people you know well and can trust in terms of judgment, reliability, and other qualities. However, when searching for a house, it can be a hassle to find enough people as mentioned previously. Random roommates could be involved with a house, and it may be tough to keep everyone to a rigid schedule when it comes to daily, weekly, and monthly responsibilities. If you enjoy the rowdiness and freeform culture, living in a house with friends is probably the way to go.
Want to implement your own style and feel to the space you are about to choose to live? While both offer opportunities to express your creativity, a house gives you more freedom and space to do so. A room in a house gives more of a homey feel that you can truly mold into what you feel comfortable with the most. Personally, an apartment does not give that same feel or vibe of comfort.
Almost a no brainer here. Almost no apartments allow pets inside them. Why? Too much of a hassle and possible damage to the inside. If you're looking to get a four-legged companion, renting a house is the way to go.

Unanswered: Server hardware advice
I'm looking to purchase new server hardware that will host my corporate intranet and a sql server instance. In most cases I can't see this server being hit by more than 20 or 30 users but I want it to be quick. I'm planning on running Server 2003 with sql server 2k and the intranet on IIS.
What I'm not sure about is the single vs dual processor and the RAM. How valuable is the dual proc? And the RAM, I plan on 1.5 GB but I wonder what the benefits are beyond that.
Perhaps with this many users it doesn't make that much difference but I can see adding more load.
Does anyone have any recommendations?Thanks,

RAM has always been the biggest "bang for the buck" in my experience. I'd populate the box with all it will take (up to the 8 Gb limit) before I got excited about much else. The second CPU does help (often significantly), but not nearly as much as the same amount of dollars spent on RAM. You might also want to consider things like server architecture, especially the datapath between I/O devices and the CPU... This can help a great deal if you can find a faster bus for similar money.

You really need to tell a bit more about your instalation.
Current database size and expected growth in incoming months/years.
The amount of users, even concurrent users, say not much, since it does not directly represent the workload.
Respecting the dual processor, definitely, regardless what you want to do, you would always want to have a dual. SQL Server can take advantage of it at any moment by partioning a big query or simply to attend more concurrent request. As for RAM, you don't want less than 2GB for a SQL Server plus Windows 2003 box, running IIS additionally.

I would probably not worry about the current projected use of the box. Think in terms of the lifespan of this box (3 to 5 years for most businesses). Many organizations will start off with one or two web applications, then after they see how cool they are, they decide to go for more and more web applications.
As for myself, I would go for a box with 2 CPUs, at least 1GB of ram with the ability to add more (up to 2GB) later, and a pile of diskspace (as in a raid array apart from the system disk that is at least 80GB). It sounds like a serious box, but in reality, it will probably only run you $3,000 to $4,000 depending on options. As they say in some quarters "buy cheap, buy twice".

I wanted to thank you once again for the great tours you lead us on last week. I want you to know that your leg work to find Hiroto and his family for me was much appreciated. Our visit was nostalgic and emotional -- very moving for me, and I think Hiroto as well. It was a very special visit. Thank you for the memories my children have of Kyoto. If you're ever in Milwaukee, call us. Thank you.
— Sybille Y.
Thank you for the fun time in Kyoto. I am sure that you have never had a group quite like ours. At least we got to about 3 temples/shrines and most importantly Joni and Carolyn got to shop. Your guidance was superb and you found exactly the things we were looking for. I am going to try to post a note about your services on FlyerTalk.com.
— Spencer N.
