Hi there. I think I'm back again, at least I'm trying to be:smileyhappy: I'm STILL (and will probably always be) a bit dim on computer technology so from the info on myself that I can
|Mon, 10-10-2011 - 9:57pm
Good to see you back!
|Wed, 10-12-2011 - 12:23pm
YAY, new babies! Yes, you were hoping to be able to shuffle sleeping arrangements so DD/bf could get out of their smoke filled living space! I'm happy to see this worked out. It's hard to believe THAT minimally pregnant girl now has a 2 MONTH OLD baby!! Time flies, eh? (snicker...YOU'RE a Grandma!)
It still looks pretty slow around here, or slow again. Maybe I missed the busy season:smileysurprised:
|Wed, 10-12-2011 - 12:48pm
Hello again and thank you:smileyhappy: I won't be going into detail but it'll be an ongoing thing.
Eventually I'll probably be needing advise about my teen and helping her deal, how much info, how much detail...but for right now she's doing pretty well. She has started getting chronic headaches and has the same PCP that I have so at least our doc is well aware of the stressors in her life.
Just hoping these boards pick up so I can spew my brilliance and "perfect parent" goodness on all the less fortunate folk:smileytongue: (MAJOR sarcasm, in case you couldn't tell)
|Thu, 10-13-2011 - 4:25pm
Of course I remember you! My boys are about the age of your older girls! You can probably see from my posts that Jason (24 - the one who struggled with the eating disorder) is now in his first year at med school. Justin (21 year old that made some incredibly poor choices in 2009 with consequences lingering into 2010) is back living at home and working full time. Slowly starting to see signs of maturity. He gets up at 5am 5 days a week to go to work at least! Sorry to hear about your medical issues and I hope all is well now.
|Fri, 10-14-2011 - 1:24pm
:smileyhappy: Hi there! I've been reading so much I can't keep it all straight...You DO still have the whole crew at your house don't you? And it was sounding like everybody is doing well? No more babies on the horizon for you? Well, not YOU, I mean the kids:smileytongue:
Good for you keeping the job but yeah, I bet it's rough. The unemployment here is HUGE- whole industries have shut down. Those lucky enough to have jobs are doing what would normally be spread between two and three employees. If you can't keep up you're out. I'm sorry I don't remember what you do, are you hammered because holiday season is coming or just slammed because of reduction in workforce?
It's nice to see you again!
|Fri, 10-14-2011 - 1:49pm
Hi Pam:smileyhappy: Yep, I've been reading...You are definitely NOT alone with a poor choice making young adult. My 22yo is still at it, but is half a state away and is now in a 5yr program, she has no idea what she signed into, she's thinking (I think) it will be an extension of the Free Ride system (welfare) that's SUPPOSED to have time limits. She's in for a shocking suprise! I think it may be the best thing she's ever done for herself even though it's unintentional.
Justin's working full time though! Thats wonderful!! I was stunned to see this newest pic of them, wow big grown up MEN!! The last one I saw they were at the kitchen table. YOU look terrific too, you must know the secret of keeping too much worry at bay, no fair!
I'm happy to see you still here, you're a LIFER:smileytongue:

Former Cash Money Records producer Mannie Fresh recently spoke on his past problems with the record label and said he was unfairly paid.
Fresh said his main issues with owners Baby and Slim were based on money.
"I did albums for Cash Money, I didn't do singles, I did whole albums for Cash Money, and at the end of the day I'm saying I wasn't paid for albums so its like you're doing 10 songs and somebody pays you for 1. What would that be equivalent to? I just said hey this is an example of what it would be equivalent to and its no secret that everybody know why I left Cash Money. We're on speaking terms now but truth be told, yeah it was behind money, everybody know what it was…In truth, I will work with them again based on this, if they cut the check. Its not going to be based on just some words but we done talked about that, we done been there and by the grace of God, we ain't enemies, none of us hate each other but business is business and that was a hard lesson for me to learn. I was in love with doing music, I wasn't paying attention to my business so I'm not even going to say that was all Cash Money's fault that was my fault as well but I was a young dude that didn't know any better. So now that I know better, I'm not going to plug in my scene with out doing business and I got my beats and my paper work right." (All Hip Hop)
Last May, Lil Wayne's Carter III co-producer Bangladesh aired out his problems with Cash Money.
"This is why Manny Fresh don't f*ck with [Cash Money] because he never got any royalty money," he said in an interview. "That's why Baby can go around flaunting this cash, because that's everyone else's money… It's not even Wayne's fault. Wayne is not getting money. He is given money, he's not getting money. If Baby gets a million dollars he'll buy Wayne a Phantom, but that's in Cash Money's name. That 14-bedroom mansion isn't Wayne sh*t. That's why he have his own company, because he was trying to leave Cash Money and the only thing that would keep him there was [if they] gave him his own thing. But Baby still controls that. All those Young Money artists don't even know that they not getting royalty money." (VIBE)
Mannie later came forward and justified Bang's frustration.
"Well, I wouldn't want that for nobody," Fresh said in an interview. "It's a slimy business is all I can say. It's not just him — they got four or five lawsuits from Lil Wayne's last album. On my way leaving out I said everybody can't be wrong but I don't wish that for nobody. I been in that place before and I know why Bangladesh feels that way. His life depends on it so it's like if you sold all these units then give me my money…Now, when something serious comes up and you think they got your money but they don't — that's an eye opener for you. It was a learning lesson more than anything. Homeboy's business is never good. It's like having a friend and thinking you can trust them to do something. You should entrust your money the right way. Money makes everybody evil when you think about it." (XXL Mag)
"Lollipop" producer Jim Jonsin recently filed a lawsuit against Wayne over unpaid work.
The producer of Lil Wayne's hit "Lollipop" is suing the rapper for $500,000 over the track. Weezy is currently serving a prison sentence for gun possession but that still hasn't stopped him getting into trouble. Jim Jonsin claims he hasn't earned any money from the smash single – which was released back in 2008 and went to number one in the US. Jonsin produced Lollipop and is credited as a co-writer.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (INDEXDJX:DJI) is pointed sharply higher on news that the People's Bank of China cut interest rates for the first time in more than two years. The decision was spurred by weakness in the manufacturing sector and throughout the property market. Stateside, a pair of central bank officials -- Federal Reserve Governor Daniel Tarullo and New York Fed President William Dudley -- are scheduled to speak before the Senate Banking subcommittee on investigations this morning. Meanwhile, Foot Locker, Inc. (NYSE:FL) will step into the earnings confessional.
Futures on the Dow Jones Industrial Average (INDEXDJX:.DJI) are about 119 points above fair value.

Hunger in America 2010
In order to address the problem of hunger, first we must understand it. To that end, Hunger in America 2010, the largest study of domestic hunger ever conducted, provides an in-depth look at who is in need, how the need is met, and by whom.
Nationally, the Hunger in America study is conducted by the Feeding America network every four years through member Food Banks. This is the fifth extensive study of hunger of its kind since 1993.After a fine engine pull it maybe to the request before you get here, this may be well early the different lot certainly it is faster. cialis online without prescription Internet places are especially fat when you use machines in office with one another.

Welcome to Risk Management Ltd
- business-as-usual activities
- strategic or project-related activities
- natural hazards or other external causes.
Our approach to risk in NZ can be described as looking for the many causes of events that could result in many consequences. Our risk assessments frequently use bow-tie analysis to help show risk and control gaps graphically.
Our work is evidence-based and we use research evidence to support our opinions and advice. We give best-practice guidance to clients.
Risk management research
Chris Peace is carrying out postgraduate research at Victoria University in Wellington. That includes an anonymous online survey. The survey has now been running for a few months and the following general patterns are starting to emerge.
• Decisions are often supported by risk assessments, but uncertainty and the context are not always mentioned or discussed in detail.
• However, stakeholders are usually consulted as part of risk assessments.
• A simple majority of respondents said they use named risk techniques, suggesting that many do not.
• Risk criteria (risk appetite to some people) were not always developed or used.
• About a third of respondents work in risk management and about half are in New Zealand and Australia.
• Most have a degree and at least five years experience.
Where does this leave the survey? More respondentsare are needed from New Zealdnd as well as from other countries. So…
Help please!
Participate in the anonymous online survey that forms part of this post-graduate research and helpgive a broader picture of risk management practices.
The survey is open to anyone whose work involves any part of decision making, management, or risk management. You should find it professionally interesting and stimulating!
Chris will be presenting survey results at the Risk NZ conference in October 2014. Also, a working paper containing the results will be posted on this website.

Subtle gene–environment interactions driving paranoia in daily life
ABSTRACT It has been suggested that genes impact on the degree to which minor daily stressors cause variation in the intensity of subtle paranoid experiences. The objective of the present study was to test the hypothesis that catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) Val158Met and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) Val66Met in part mediate genetic effects on paranoid reactivity to minor stressors. In a general population sample of 579 young adult female twins, on the one hand, appraisals of (1) event-related stress and (2) social stress and, on the other hand, feelings of paranoia in the flow of daily life were assessed using momentary assessment technology for five consecutive days. Multilevel regression analyses were used to examine moderation of daily life stress-induced paranoia by COMT Val158Met and BDNF Val66Met genotypes. Catechol-O-methyltransferase Val carriers displayed more feelings of paranoia in response to event stress compared with Met carriers. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor Met carriers showed more social-stress-induced paranoia than individuals with the Val/Val genotype. Thus, paranoia in the flow of daily life may be the result of gene–environment interactions that can be traced to different types of stress being moderated by different types of genetic variation.

Article: BDNF val66met genotype and schizotypal personality traits interact to influence probabilistic association learning[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) val66met polymorphism rs6265 influences learning and may represent a risk factor for schizophrenia. Healthy people with high schizotypal personality traits display cognitive deficits that are similar to but not as severe as those observed in schizophrenia and they can be studied without confounds of antipsychotics or chronic illness. How genetic variation in BDNF may impact learning in individuals falling along the schizophrenia spectrum is unknown. We predicted that schizotypal personality traits would influence learning and that schizotypal personality-based differences in learning would vary depending on the BDNF val66met genotype. Eighty-nine healthy adults completed the Schizotypal Personality Questionnaire (SPQ) and a probabilistic association learning test. Blood samples were genotyped for the BDNF val66met polymorphism. An ANOVA was performed with BDNF genotype (val homozygotes and met-carriers) and SPQ score (high/low) as grouping variables and probabilistic association learning as the dependent variable. Participants with low SPQ scores (fewer schizotypal personality traits) showed significantly better learning than those with high SPQ scores. BDNF met-carriers displaying few schizotypal personality traits performed best, whereas BDNF met-carriers displaying high schizotypal personality traits performed worst. Thus, the BDNF val66met polymorphism appears to influence probabilistic association learning differently depending on the extent of schizotypal personality traits displayed.Behavioural Brain Research 08/2014; 174:137-142. · 3.33 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Psychosomatic disorders are composed of an array of psychological, biologic, and environmental features. The existing evidence points to a role for genetic factors in explaining individual differences in the development and maintenance of a variety of disorders, but studies to date have not shown consistent and replicable effects. As such, the attempt to uncover individual differences in the expression of psychosomatic disorders as a function of genetic architecture requires careful attention to their phenotypic architecture or the various intermediate phenotypes that make up a heterogeneous disorder. Ambulatory monitoring offers a novel approach to measuring time-variant and situation-dependent intermediate phenotypes. Recent examples of the use of ambulatory monitoring in genetic studies of stress reactivity, chronic pain, alcohol use disorders, and psychosocial resilience are reviewed in an effort to highlight the benefits of ambulatory monitoring for genetic study designs.Psychosomatic Medicine 05/2012; 74(4):349-55. · 4.08 Impact Factor
Article: Impact of variation in the BDNF gene on social stress sensitivity and the buffering impact of positive emotions: Replication and extension of a gene-environment interaction[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A previous study reported that social stress sensitivity is moderated by the brain-derived-neurotrophic-factorVal66Met (BDNF rs6265) genotype. Additionally, positive emotions partially neutralize this moderating effect. The current study aimed to: (i) replicate in a new independent sample of subjects with residual depressive symptoms the moderating effect of BDNFVal66Met genotype on social stress sensitivity, (ii) replicate the neutralizing impact of positive emotions, (iii) extend these analyses to other variations in the BDNF gene in the new independent sample and the original sample of non-depressed individuals. Previous findings were replicated in an experience sampling method (ESM) study. Negative Affect (NA) responses to social stress were stronger in "Val/Met" carriers of BDNFVal66Met compared to "Val/Val" carriers. Positive emotions neutralized the moderating effect of BDNFVal66Met genotype on social stress sensitivity in a dose-response fashion. Finally, two of four additional BDNF SNPs (rs11030101, rs2049046) showed similar moderating effects on social stress-sensitivity across both samples. The neutralizing effect of positive emotions on the moderating effects of these two additional SNPs was found in one sample. In conclusion, ESM has important advantages in gene-environment (GxE) research and may attribute to more consistent findings in future GxE research. This study shows how the impact of BDNF genetic variation on depressive symptoms may be explained by its impact on subtle daily life responses to social stress. Further, it shows that the generation of positive affect (PA) can buffer social stress sensitivity and partially undo the genetic susceptibility.European neuropsychopharmacology: the journal of the European College of Neuropsychopharmacology 01/2014; · 3.68 Impact Factor

Phenomenology of psychosis
Psychotic disorders, of which schizophrenia is the most prevalent and severe, are
characterised by a marked distortion in the perception of reality. Traditionally, the main
symptoms of psychotic disorder have been subdivided into positive and negative symptoms.
Positive symptoms (e.g. hallucinations, delusions) are experiences that are not present in
healthy individuals and tend to be of a fluctuating nature. In contrast, negative symptoms (e.g.
flattening of affect, apathy, poverty of thoughts or speech) reflect an absence of certain
abilities and impulses present in healthy individuals and tend to be of a more chronic nature
(Green, 2001). Affective symptoms also form an integral part of psychotic disorders. In
addition, it has been well established that psychotic disorders are characterised by robust
neurocognitive deficits, although they are not part of the diagnostic criteria for psychosis.
Deficits can be found across a broad array of cognitive domains, such as auditory attention,
episodic memory, and working memory (Faraone, et al., 1999; Krabbendam, et al., 2001) and
have been regarded as predictors of functional outcome (Green, et al., 2004).
Psychotic symptoms have been traditionally regarded as clinical manifestations that can be
either present or absent, a dichotomy still employed in clinical practice up until this day.
However, there is accumulating evidence that the psychosis phenotype is better perceived as a
continuous rather than categorical phenotype, extending from subclinical experiences to
clinical symptoms (Johns and van Os, 2001; Stefanis, et al., 2002; van Os, et al., 2009;
Verdoux and van Os, 2002). These subclinical psychotic experiences, alternatively labeled as
schizotypy, psychosis-proneness or at-risk mental states, are prevalent in the general
population (Eaton, et al., 1991; Peters, et al., 1999; Tien, 1991; Van Os, et al., 1999).
Evidence that subclinical psychotic experiences are related to underlying aetiological
influences similar to those underlying psychotic disorder further supports a continuity model
of psychosis. Investigating psychotic experiences in individuals with non-clinical expression
of the psychosis phenotype may therefore be a fruitful approach to studying the underlying
aetiology of psychosis and has the advantage that it avoids potential confounds of illness-
related factors that do not reflect psychosis vulnerability, such as institutionalisation,
stigmatisation and antipsychotic drug treatment.
Page 11
Aetiology of psychosis
Schizophrenia is a particularly heterogeneous disorder with multiple causes. It has been well
established that schizophrenia is a highly heritable disorder, with an estimated contribution of
genetic factors and gene–environment interactions to schizophrenia vulnerability of
approximately 80% (Cardno and Gottesman, 2000; Gottesman, 1991; Sullivan, et al., 2003).
However, genetic association studies have, as yet, failed to provide consistent results
regarding the precise mode of transmission of the genetic vulnerability. The complex genetic
architecture of the disorder has led to the search for intermediate phenotypes with a simpler
genetic basis than the dichotomous schizophrenia phenotype. Intermediate phenotypes,
alternatively called endophenotypes, are biological markers that: 1. are associated with the
illness in the population, 2. are heritable, 3. are state-independent, 4. cosegregate with the
illness within families, and 5. are present in unaffected relatives of patients to a higher degree
than in the general population (Gottesman and Gould, 2003). Studying such quantifiable,
relatively simpler and biologically-based intermediate phenotypes may guide genetic research
and assist in neurobiological validation of the overarching psychosis phenotype.
Neurocognitive intermediate phenotypes
Genetic mechanisms are likely to impact on developing brain systems, resulting in a
predisposition to schizophrenia and manifest across a wide range of neurocognitive faculties.
Consequently, behavioural measures of neurocognitive functioning are promising potential
intermediate phenotypes as are neurophysiological assessments of brain systems that bring
about specific neurocognitive processes. Neurocognitive deficits have been widely recognised
as core features of psychosis and have been shown i) to be heritable, ii) to cluster in families
of patients with a psychotic disorder and, iii) to be present in first-degree relatives of patients
at levels that are intermediate between healthy controls and patients (Krabbendam, et al.,
2001; Kremen, et al., 1994). These findings underline the well-recognized notion that deficits
in cognitive functioning can be useful intermediate phenotypes in studying psychosis
(Gottesman and Gould, 2003). At a behavioural level, largest effect sizes of neurocognitive
deficits have been reported for attention/information processing speed, memory, and
executive functioning (Braff, 1993; Dickinson, et al., 2007; Heinrichs and Zakzanis, 1998;
Morice and Delahunty, 1996; Nuechterlein and Dawson, 1984). At the neurophysiological
level, one of the most promising intermediate phenotypes is the P300 waveform. Amplitude
reduction of the auditory P300 wave is a robust finding in patients with a psychotic disorder
Page 12
Chapter 1
and P300 latency has been shown to be delayed in patients compared with healthy controls
(Bramon, et al., 2004; Jeon and Polich, 2001), reflecting abnormalities in attention to
incoming stimulus information when representations are updated (P300 amplitude) (Polich,
2007; Turetsky, et al., 2007) and processing speed (P300 latency) (Polich, 2007).
Gen–environment interactions: stress sensitivity, COMT and BDNF
Genetic mechanisms are likely to exert their influence on developing brain systems not in
isolation, but in symphony with environmental influences (van Os and Kapur, 2009). The
impact of environmental stressors depends on the genetic makeup of the individual and any
impact of genetic variation on the phenotype is contextualized by the environment (van Os, et
al., 2008). This is essentially what is described by the widely accepted vulnerability–stress
model (Zubin and Spring, 1977).
Aversive life events (Bebbington, et al., 1993; Bebbington, et al., 1996), victimisation and
childhood trauma (Bebbington, et al., 2004; Janssen, et al., 2004; Read, 1997), and aversive
family environments (Bebbington and Kuipers, 1994; Butzlaff and Hooley, 1998) have been
consistently linked to vulnerability for psychotic disorder. These studies show that
environmental stressors can play a significant role in the emergence of psychotic symptoms,
but these studies can not establish whether sensitivity to stress may be an intermediate
phenotype because they did not asses the individual's way of coping with the stressors. The
Experience Sampling Method (ESM) does enable the study of moment-to-moment
interactions between daily life stressors and the individual. The ESM is a momentary
assessment technique to assess subjects in their daily living environment and has been
extensively validated for the use of immediate effects of stressors on mood (Csikszentmihalyi
and Larson, 1987; Delespaul, 1995; DeVries, 1992; Myin-Germeys, et al., 2001; Wichers, et
al., 2007). These studies have shown that stress sensitivity (defined in terms of affective or
psychotic responses to self-reported daily life stressors) is higher in patients with a psychotic
disorder than in healthy controls, with first-degree relatives showing intermediate scores for
stress sensitivity (Myin-Germeys, et al., 2005; Myin-Germeys, et al., 2001). Evidence has
also been found that this heightened stress sensitivity i) is state-independent as stress
sensitivity was investigated in patients in remission (Myin-Germeys, et al., 2005; Myin-
Germeys, et al., 2001), and ii) cosegregates within families (Lataster, et al., 2009), suggesting
stress sensitivity may be a potential intermediate phenotype.
Page 13
Two promising genes that may moderate psychotic reactivity to environmental stressors are
the catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)
genes. The COMT gene is a biologically plausible candidate given that it codes for catechol-
O-methyltransferase, an enzyme that plays a critical role in the degradation of dopamine. The
COMT gene contains a functional polymorphism (Val158Met) with two common variants
(valine and methionine), corresponding to high and low activity, respectively. Increased
COMT activity may result in i) reduced dopamine neurotransmission in the prefrontal cortex,
and, subsequently, ii) increased levels of mesolimbic dopamine signalling (Bilder, et al.,
2004). The first has been associated with neurocognitive impairments, including impairments
in working memory, attention, and executive functioning (Bilder, et al., 2002; Egan, et al.,
2001; Nolan, et al., 2004), whereas the latter has been associated with increased risk for
delusions and hallucinations (Akil, et al., 2003; Bilder, et al., 2004).
Based on the neurodevelopmental hypothesis, BDNF is also a conceivable candidate gene
because of the acknowledged effects of BDNF on neurodevelopment and neuronal activity
(Hua and Smith, 2004; Huang, et al., 1999). A Val66Met functional polymorphism in the gene
encoding BDNF has been the focus of much recent investigation. The valine (Val) variant is
associated with higher neuronal BDNF secretory activity than the methionine (Met) variant
(Chen, et al., 2004). The polymorphism has been linked to hippocampal functioning in
humans and has correspondingly been thought to affect episodic memory functioning (Egan,
et al., 2003) and sensitivity to stress. Met carriers may be more sensitive to stress-induced
BDNF depletion and may thus experience more extreme behavioural responses to stress
compared with Val/Val subjects.
Monitoring of inner speech
Although neurocognitive intermediate phenotypes such as information processing speed and
memory have been linked to the negative symptom dimension rather than other symptom
dimensions (de Gracia Dominguez, et al., 2009), they are not linked to specific psychotic
symptoms, but rather seem to indicate a general vulnerability. Identifying cognitive
abnormalities specific to psychosis is the aim of the cognitive neuropsychiatric approach. This
approach attempts to explain psychiatric phenomena such as delusions and hallucinations in
terms of aberrations in normal cognitive mechanisms. Using a symptom-oriented approach
can greatly facilitate our understanding of underlying cognitive mechanisms and tends to
demonstrate greater reliability and biological validity than a syndrome-oriented approach.
Page 14
Chapter 1
Auditory verbal hallucinations (AVHs) are one of the most common symptoms in
schizophrenia, often described as 'hearing voices'. One of the most influential current
cognitive models suggests that auditory hallucinations are the result of defective self-
monitoring. Self-monitoring refers to the cognitive capacity to correctly differentiate
information that is internally generated from information that is generated by an external
source (Johnson, et al., 1993). If this monitoring system is defective, verbal thoughts will not
be recognized as being self-generated, leading to the experience of AVHs (Feinberg, 1978).
The development of neuroimaging techniques has given investigators tools to study the
biological basis of cognitive processes implicated in AVHs. Neuroimaging studies have
revealed that imagining another person's speech yields normal activation of the left inferior
frontal gyrus but abnormal activation of the temporal cortex in schizophrenia patients prone to
auditory hallucinations compared with schizophrenia patients without a history of AVHs and
healthy controls (McGuire, et al., 1996; Shergill, et al., 2000), thus adding biological
plausibility to the cognitive model.

Aims and outline of this thesis
The overall aim of this thesis was to examine dysfunctions in information processing in
relation to various symptoms of the psychosis phenotype and in relation to neurobiological
Our first aim was to investigate neurocognitive functions as potential intermediate phenotypes
for psychosis. In chapters 2 and 3, we looked at the relationship between behavioural
measures of neurocognitive functioning and symptom dimensions in a general population
twin sample. In chapter 2 we examined whether cognitive deficits are related to specific
dimensions of subclinical psychotic experiences and whether associations between these
variables are caused by additive genetic, common environmental, and/or individual-specific
environmental factors. In chapter 3 we looked at depressive symptoms, which form an
integral part of the psychosis phenotype. We examined whether poor cognitive functioning
can be a risk factor in the development of depressive symptoms. In chapter 4 we investigated
the physiological correlates of information processing mechanisms in patients with a
psychotic disorder, their first-degree relatives, and healthy controls, focussing on two
important features potential intermediate phenotype should demonstrate: familiality and
Our second aim was to investigate gene–environment interactions. In chapter 5 we examined
whether the COMT Val158Met and BDNF Val66Met polymorphisms in part mediate genetic
effects on paranoid reactivity to minor stressors, using the same general population twin
sample as in chapters 2 and 3.
Our third aim was to investigate self-monitoring of inner speech. In chapter 6 we investigated
the functional neuroanatomy of inner and external speech in both schizophrenia patients with
a history of auditory verbal hallucinations and healthy controls.
Finally, chapter 7 closes with a general discussion.

Barack Obama at this morning's press conference on the death of Trayvon Martin.
President Barack Obama has spoken out relatively rarely in his presidency on the big, controversial issues that dominate our headlines. In an analysis this week, the New York Times described his political strategy as a "hidden hand," saying: "While other presidents have put the bully in the bully pulpit, Mr. Obama uses his megaphone, and the power that comes with it, sparingly, speaking out when he decides his voice can shape the trajectory of an issue and staying silent when he thinks it might be counterproductive."
So it's extraordinary that Obama used his megaphone today to talk about why the Trayvon Martin case and "not guilty" verdict for George Zimmerman has led to such hurt and outrage across the country—and it's powerful the way he connected the politics of the case to his personal experiences with systemic racism.
Full text of the speech and more commentary is below.
The blogs will never stop!
Let us know what you think or what you've been reading in the comments down below!
Barack Obama impersonator Reggie Brown (not to be confused with the football player) was yanked by GOP operatives at the Republican Leadership Conference in New Orleans this weekend when he came a bit too close to sensitive topics like Tim Pawlenty's backbone and the rest of the presidential field. With the grace of a roughly managed Oscar night, the music began and the helpful staff ushered him offstage. Maybe more telling than the sudden end of Brown's performance, however, was which jokes drew laughs and which a few jeers or silence. Mocking Obama's mixed race heritage—lots of laughs. Saying Barbara Bush looks like a really old George Washington—boo. My own one liner goes something like: The next best thing to defeating Obama in an election is getting to boot his impersonator off stage! Hey, I'm here all week, folks.

Biden Rebuts Romney At NAACP Convention
A day after Mitt Romney was booed by the NAACP over healthcare, it was Vice President Joe Biden's turn to address the organization.
FOX News Radio's Steve Taylor reports:
Audio clip:
Biden's speech before the African American organization brought boos only when the VP said, "let me close".
(Audience) "Boo"
Yesterday, Mitt Romney earned catcalls, but also respect, for his honesty in telling this crowd that he'd kill the President's healthcare law. Today, Biden got cheers and gratitude when he talked about what the law does.
(Biden) "Providing access to affordable healthcare to 30 million Americans; eight million black Americans who would never have had insurance."
Biden said it's time for the NAACP to stand up for Barack Obama.
Steve Taylor, FOX News Radio.
Editor's Note: President Obama addressed the NAACP annual convention via video prior to Vice President Biden's remarks.

Samsung Original Galaxy S III Flip Case (Ceramic White)

Posted: 23/06/2012
Bought this case for my GS3 and I like it. It replaces the back cover with a better thicker back cover and also has a screen protector which is connected to the case. You can also continue talking on the phone while the flip cover is attached to the screen because it has a speaker grill hole.
Keeps the phone slim too, perfect for me.

Bought this Sandisk 32GB and for the price this is cheap, has a lot of space but as said on previous reviews this has a slow writing speed.
However if you are like me and bought this usb for home and general use and not for business where write/read speed is not important than this is a good buy.
I gave 3* because of read/write speed which is slow.
Lexar 32GB Micro SD HC memory card with Reader / Class 10

Posted: 15/01/2012
Bought this card from play.com over the Christmas period at a discounted price and its a very good deal considering your getting a usb reader as well which most MicroSD cards dont offer.
It has been said from previous reviewers that the speeds are good and I conform that I haven't had any problems with mine too. Good reading and writing speeds.
The usb reader comes handy because not all the laptops or pcs might have a cards reader in them so having the usb reader means that you can access your data at every laptop or computer.
The product came well packed and they feel solid. Delivery was very quick from Play as usual so all in all I am very happy with this purchase and I would recommend this to anyone thinking of buying one. 5*
Samsung Galaxy S II 16GB Android Sim Free Unlocked Mobile Phone

First of all at less than 400 pounds this phone is a bargain. Thank you Play.com.
I dont won't to be too long on my review because as everybody can see everything is all said about this phone.
The good
1) Amazing screen even at 800x480 res.Very crisp and sharp display, great colors (better then the iPhone4 Retina display)The screen (using an enhanced AMOLED technology which Samsung coined "Super AMOLED Plus" is probably the best stand-out feature of the Samsung and puts it over the top of all current smartphones.
2) Amazing speed 1.2 GHz nothing will slow this phone(super machine) down. I have played games, browsed heavy websites with flash and been doing multitasking but nothing have slowed this phone down.This phone supports 21.1Mbps HSPA+ speeds as well, so downloads are blazingly fast.
3) Google's OS system personally think that is the best OS on a smartphone to date.
4) Samsung added its own refinement ("TouchWiz 4.0") on top of Gingerbread to enhance the experience. I loved the fast access to settings like turning on/off Bluetooth, GPS, WiFi etc."TouchWiz 4.0" has also its own task manager which works excellent and I can access it qicker to kill my apps that run on the backroud for saving battery throughout the day.
5) Battery life is also one of the best things that this phone has being only 8.49mm Slim lasted me with heavy usage for about 18-22 hours a day.Browsing for 2 hrs, 35 mins satnav 1 hour playing heavy games like need for speed or PES 2011, 4-6 hours music and updating my facebook, email and twitter every hour. Two most commons things that will drain any phone battery are watching videos and movies and using satnav.This battery will last a normal user between a 1/2 to 2 days.
6) Camera being 8 mp makes this phone on of the best camera phones around.After owning Iphone 4S/4, HTC Desire HD and HTC Sensasion I believe that this phone has one of the best camera sensors in my opinion. Records and plays 1080p really well considering its only a phone.
This are mainly the things I look at a phone before I buy and all this technology at fitted into a phone being 8.49mm slim.
Due to this phone meeting my needs I dont have many bad points.
The bad
1) Having a screen at 4.3-inches could be a litte big for some people although for me its not big at all.
Basicially thats it really.
I felt I had to mention all the above for using the phone for more than a month.
If you want a phone update and felt that the phone was expensive when it first came out now at play.com its cheaper than any other place.
Thank you play.com, always cheaper than others :)

People start rating the phone on one or two things comparing it with another phone. Screen for example, people say iphone's screen is better, well it might be a little brighter but you have to look at the phone in general. if you start rating the iphone, you will come up with many stuff which other phones have got it better. I compared it with iphone because many people compare this phone with iphone. This phone is fast, best specs on a phone yet and everywhere you go on internet will bring you fast loading plus with the android 2.2 this is the only phone which loads pages with flash. Mentioning Android the operating system the phone uses is very customisable and with flash support you get more pleasure where as with iphone ur stuck with left and right pages with apps in the middle. Good camera considering how thin it is, if you want photografic photos go and get a real camera. Free google maps and navigation from google. Over 200.000 apps in Android Market. Wi-fi hotspot wich makes ur phone to act a wi fi for ur computer or other phones. Book reader, pdf reader all built it in. All in all this phone will stand out from other phones and believe me i have tried many phones.

|Predators' center David Legwand gets probation for reckless driving
|Written by Admin
|Thursday, 13 March 2008 07:52
Legwand was arrested in February and charged with driving under the influence and violating the state's implied consent law for refusing a blood-alcohol test.
Attorney Roger May said Thursday that Legwand was also given six months probation and a $350 fine.
His driver's license will be restricted for a year for not taking the breath test, meaning he can only drive to and from work.
He was pulled over near downtown Nashville on Feb. 15 after a police officer clocked him driving 51 mph in a 35-mph zone.
Legwand, who recently signed a six-year $27 million contract, has been sidelined since he injured a foot March 7 at Calgary.

Book Description:
[Read by Anthony Heald]Our founding fathers worked hard to ensure that a small group of wealthy people would never dominate this country. Thomas Jefferson believed that our very democracy depends upon our ability to play referee to the game of business, protecting labor and the public good. But over the last twenty-five years, we've witnessed an undeclared war against the middle class. The so-called conservatives waging this war are interested only in conserving and increasing their own wealth and power. Under the guise of freeing the market, they have dismantled programs set up to protect the middle class and replaced them with policies that favor only the privileged few. To keep America strong, we must ensure that our public institutions meet people's basic needs for education, health care, and a living wage before our democracy becomes a ''corporatocracy.''
