What Is Psychosis?
Psychosis is a serious mental disorder characterized by thinking and emotions that are so impaired, that they indicate that the person experiencing them has lost contact with reality.
People who are psychotic have false thoughts (delusions) and/or see or hear things that are not there (hallucinations). These are referred to as "positive" symptoms; "negative" symptoms like loss of motivation and social withdrawal can also occur.
These experiences can be frightening and may cause people who are suffering from psychosis to hurt themselves or others. It is important to see a doctor right away if you or someone you know is experiencing symptoms of psychosis.
Psychosis affects three out of every 100 people. It is most likely to be diagnosed in young adults, but psychosis can happen to anyone.
Recognizing the Signs of Psychosis
Early stage psychosis:
difficulty concentrating
depressed mood
sleep changes—sleeping too much or not enough
withdrawal from family and friends
ongoing unusual thoughts and beliefs
Later stage psychosis
disorganized speech—switching topics erratically
suicidal thoughts or actions
difficulty functioning
Causes of Psychosis
Each case of psychosis is different, and the exact cause is not always entirely clear. There are, however, certain illnesses that cause psychosis. There are also triggers like drug use, lack of sleep, and other environmental factors. In addition, certain situations can lead to specific types of psychosis to develop (see "Types of Psychosis" below).
Illnesses that can cause psychosis:
brain diseases such as Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, and some chromosomal disorders
brain tumors or cysts
dementia (including Alzheimer's disease)
HIV, syphilis, and other infections that attack the brain
some types of epilepsy
Environmental Causes
Psychosis can be triggered by the use of alcohol and illegal drugs, including stimulants such as methamphetamine (meth) and cocaine. Hallucinogenic drugs like LSD (acid) often cause users to see things that are not really there, but this effect is temporary. People who do not get enough sleep for long periods of time can experience symptoms of psychosis. Some prescription drugs like steroids and stimulants can cause symptoms of psychosis.
Risk Factors for Developing Psychosis
It is not currently possible to precisely identify individuals who are likely to develop a psychotic disorder. However, research has shown that genetics may play a role.
If one identical twin develops psychosis, there is a 50 percent chance the other twin will as well. Individuals with a close family member (parent or sibling) who has a psychotic disorder are more likely to develop a psychotic disorder.
Children born with the genetic mutation known as 22q11 deletion syndrome are at risk for developing a psychotic disorder, especially schizophrenia.
Types of Psychosis
Some kinds of psychosis are brought on by specific conditions or circumstances.
Brief Reactive Psychosis
Extreme personal stress like the death of a family member can bring on symptoms of psychosis. Someone experiencing brief reactive psychosis will recover in a few days.
Drug- or Alcohol-Related Psychosis
Use of alcohol and drugs can sometimes cause symptoms of psychosis. These symptoms might go away immediately when the effect of the alcohol or drug wears off, but this is not always the case. People who are addicted to alcohol and certain drugs can experience psychotic symptoms if they suddenly stop drinking or taking the drug to which they are addicted.
Organic Psychosis
A head injury or an illness that affects the brain like Parkinson's disease can cause symptoms of psychosis.
Psychotic Disorders
The following types of psychoses are called psychotic disorders. They can be triggered by stress, drug or alcohol use, injury or illness, or they can appear on their own.
Bipolar Disorder
When someone has bipolar disorder, his or her moods swing from very high to very low. When his or her mood is high and positive, he or she may have symptoms of psychosis. The individual may feel extremely good and believe he or she has special powers. When his or her mood is depressed, the individual may have psychotic symptoms that make him or her feel angry, sad, or frightened. These symptoms include thinking someone is trying to harm him or her.
Delusional Disorder
A person suffering from delusional disorder strongly believes in things that are not real.
Psychotic Depression
This is major depression with psychotic symptoms.
Schizophrenia is psychosis that lasts longer than six months. Schizophrenia is a lifelong disease.
How Is Psychosis Diagnosed?
Psychosis is diagnosed through a psychiatric evaluation. That means a doctor will watch the person's behavior and ask questions about what he or she is experiencing. Medical tests and X-rays may be used to determine whether there is an underlying illness causing the symptoms.
Diagnosing Psychosis in Children and Teenagers
Many of the symptoms of psychosis are perfectly normal in young people. For example, a teenager may suddenly need more sleep in response to changes in their body. Small children often have imaginary friends with whom they talk. If you are worried about psychosis in a child or adolescent, describe the individual's behavior to a doctor.
Treatment of Psychosis
Treating psychosis may involve a combination of medications and therapy. Most people recover from psychosis with treatment.
Rapid Tranquilization
Sometimes people suffering from psychosis can become agitated and be at risk of hurting themselves or others. In those cases, it may be necessary to calm them down quickly. This method is called rapid tranquilization. A doctor or emergency response personnel will administer a fast-acting shot or liquid medicine to relax the patient right away.
Drugs and medication
Symptoms of psychosis can be controlled with medications called antipsychotics. These medicines reduce hallucinations and delusions and help people think more clearly. The type of medicine you are prescribed will depend on which symptoms you are experiencing. In many cases, people only need to take antipsychotics for a short time to get their symptoms under control. People with schizophrenia may have to stay on medications for life.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive behavioral therapy means meeting regularly to talk with a mental health counselor with the goal of changing thinking and behaviors. This approach has been shown to be effective in helping patients make permanent changes and more effectively manage their illness.
Complications of Psychosis
Psychosis does not have many medical complications. However, if left untreated, it can make it hard for the people with this disorder to take good care of themselves. That could cause other illnesses to go untreated.
Is It Possible to Recover from Psychosis?
Most people who experience psychosis will recover with proper treatment. Even in severe cases, medication and therapy can help people live normal lives.

Petter Northug wins 15k individual freestyle gold at Nordic worlds
VAL DI FIEMME, Italy (AP) -- Petter Northug won his first gold medal of this year's Nordic world championships on Wednesday in the 15-kilometer individual freestyle.
The Norwegian beat Johan Olsson of Sweden by 11.8 seconds, finishing in 34 minutes, 37.1 seconds. Tord Asle Gjerdalen was third, 22.3 seconds behind Northug.
"I knew from the first races that I was in good shape so my plan was to attack for the gold medal, so I gave it my all," Northug said. "Today is the day you dream of when you're an athlete: You wake up and feel like you have a lot of power and you know you can give it your all ... and then when you win it's amazing.
"I knew it was going to be fight between me and Johan Olsson and when I heard the others' times I just focused on the times of Johan. I was losing a bit because I was tired, then I just focused on my legs and not falling because I knew I had the seconds."
Northug attacked from the start and was more than 20 seconds ahead of Olsson after 9.4 kilometers. He started to struggle and lost 10 seconds within the next 2 kilometers.
However, he maintained his pace over the final section and collapsed over the line, where he lay for several minutes before being helped up.
"When you're so tired as I was today you don't hear any crowds, it feels like you're racing on your own," Northug said. "You just want to cross the finish line because then it'll be over. Then after you cross, you have a couple of minutes rest and then you hear the crowd cheering, you hear the speaker announcing you're world champion and that's a dream."
It was Northug's eighth world title after winning three gold medals at each of the previous two championships and one in 2007.
"When he is at his best no one can beat him," Olsson said. "He is the best. I couldn't have done anything else. I did my race, kept my speed and couldn't have skied one second faster today.
"When I heard the first time and had an indication that Petter was skiing so fantastic, I felt I didn't have a chance, I thought with a 20-second gap there's for sure four or five guys between us. But I just focused on myself, on doing my best and that's all you can do."
Olympic champion Dario Cologna, who won Saturday's skiathlon, finished eighth, 1:21.1 behind Northug.

Amazing Jamie
Got to admit Jamie is some kind of a special person and pitcher. He gets bombed in Boston last week and then shuts down the Yankees last night.
24 years ago yesterday, Jamie made his big league debut against Carlton (his childhood idol) and the Phillies.
Moyer won the game, 7-5, the last decision for Carlton. Nine days later, we released Lefty. Moyer teammates that day included Davey Lopes (0-for-2) and Gary Matthews (2-4).
Start last night was his first in the new Yankee Stadium. He's now pitched in 49 different ballparks.
According to Elias Sports Bureau:
**Shane is the only player in the majors with two bases-loaded triples this year. And, he's the only player with a three-base hit and home run with the bases loaded this season.
**Last year, the Phillies hit back-to-back homers 11 times; last night was the first time this season. Only the White Sox and Indians now haven't gone deep back-to-back.
Hard to believe
The two homers last night gave the Phillies 56 for the season. At this time a year ago, we had 91.

|Yuri Yunakov New Colors in Bulgarian Wedding Music (CD)
|Yuri Yunakov, the most famous Bulgarian saxophone player, presents his first American recording since immigrating to the US in 1995. If you haven`t heard the music spilling out of the post-communist regions of southern Eastern Europe, the creativity and dizzying energy of Bulgaria`s and Macedonia`s so-called "wedding music" will shock and delight you. Fast speeds, impossible rhythms, plummeting key changes; village folk tunes melded with jazz, rock, and Turkish music, this is of the most exciting world music sounds today, played with virtuosity by Yuri and his 6-member ensemble. Suppressed by the socialist government in Bulgaria, wedding music still prospered and has become the most widely listened to form of folk/popular music in both Bulgaria and Macedonia and in their diaspora communities. Yuri Yunakov was one of the founders of this music, and the Yuri Yunakov Ensemble is the only group performing it on American soil.

Can someone please shed some light on an issue for me.
Working with Revit MEP, I am creating new pipe fittings and have come stuck on one parameter (how to obtain or how to calculate it)
On a fitting that has a bend (an elbow say) where that bend is governed by a "Centre Radius" parameter to keep the bend consistent when the fitting is used on various sizes of pipes and at various angles. This "Centre Radius" parameter is governed by values that are obtained from the lookup table for the fitting but I can't find how to calculate this value to put it into a lookup table in the first place. I am trying to create a new fitting and lookup table for a new pipe type, the MEP tutorial gives you the "Centre Radius" distance and it gives you the lookup table with all the values already entered for each pipe size, but doesn't actually tell you how to calculate it for new pipe sizes. I have also tried using an existing fitting and lookup table that I can re-name, but I want to add a few more sizes to the lookup table but I can't find that one measurement or how to calculate it, I have tried to work out how they did the existing ones but can't seem to crack it. This measurement is integral for the bend to perform properly, if it is done incorrectly the bend will still get inserted when you draw two pipes at an angle but the centre part of the fitting, the bend between the two couplings, gets omitted and of course the pipe fitting then doesn't look right.
I was hoping that someone out there, with more MEP experience than me, was able to explain to me how I calculate this value so that I can put it into the lookup table for new pipe sizes.
Any assistance would really be appreciated.

ISIS Threats to March on Rome and Spain. We Can't Say We Weren't Warned…
It may sound perverse, but perhaps we owe a small note of thanks to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the head of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
Like a bullet whistling overhead, the ruthless rise of ISIS under al-Baghdadi has had the effect of concentrating the fretful and forgetful minds of Western leaders. Despite the various terrors inflicted by al-Qaida, the Taliban and other radical Muslim groups over the years, and despite the spreading regional war between Islam's Sunni and Shia factions, America and Europe have been losing interest in what seems like an endless fratricidal slaughter.
It is too soon to tell how the Sunni-Shia wars will end, but it is clear that Americans are war weary, and so is the rest of the West. Dealing with IEDs and suicide bombers and ungrateful local populaces has grown thin, and a general retreat has been sounded.
But al-Baghdadi has reminded the world of the barbarian at its gates. How barbarian? Even al-Qaida disowns ISIS as too extreme. ISIS fighters have turned the regional conflicts of Syria and Iraq into charnel houses of death and destruction.
As a petition written by Robert George on the website iraqrescue.org puts it, ISIS "is conducting a campaign of genocide against Christians, Yazidis and others in Iraq. In its fanatical effort to establish a caliphate, ISIS/ISIL has engaged in crimes against humanity by deliberately causing mass starvation and dehydration, and by committing unconscionable acts of barbarism against noncombatants, including defenseless women, children and elderly persons."
With its recent occupation of the ancient Iraqi city of Mosul, ISIS has magnified the much larger war against Christians in the Middle East that has been going on for years. For the first time in perhaps 1,700 years, the Mass is no longer celebrated in Mosul because the Catholic community has been forced to flee rather than choose between death and conversion to Islam.
While the plight of 100,000 Christian refugees may not have galvanized United States leaders, the plight of the Yazidis did. This obscure and ancient religious sect has been ruthlessly attacked because Yazidis are viewed as infidels by the Islamists. They are fair game for the most inhuman treatment, and thousands have fled a remorseless genocide.
In the midst of this horror, it must be noted that there are reports that some of the photos "documenting" the ISIS atrocities are of dubious legitimacy. Propagandists are at work for their own ends, including those who seek to provoke a greater rift between Christianity and Islam than already exists.
Religious leaders like Pope Francis have been relentless in praying for peace, mindful that stirring up interreligious hatred will only worsen a terrible situation. But at the same time, if the pope is reluctant to "bless the tanks," he has urged the world to "stop these crimes" by ISIS. Indeed, Vatican officials have been pointing out that under just-war teaching, in cases like genocide it is legitimate to seek to "disarm the aggressor." Islamic leaders like Egypt's grand mufti are beginning to raise their voices as well.
For at least the time being, there seems to be a religious, political and military consensus that the West must act to stop ISIS, whether one's primary concern is the growing number of victims of this fanaticism or the worry that ISIS will soon bring its terror home to the West.
Meanwhile al-Baghdadi has plans of his own, announcing that "ISIS would march on Rome in its quest to establish an Islamic State from the Middle East across Europe," saying that he would "conquer both Rome and Spain in this endeavor."
We can't say we weren't warned.

This nice little piece is carved of ivory and has a beautiful old patina and ivory grain pattern. One side is engraved with the circle and dot designs known as Madras work. It's a form of scrimshaw work where black lacquer is flowed into the engraved designs. It's English and dates to the early 19th century. The back has the script word "Emery".
The condition is excellent with no chips, cracks or other damage. The blue silk cushion is original and intact and it's stuffed with emery powder. It measures almost 1" in diameter. A variety of needlework tools of this style and age are shown on p. 87 of Nerylla Taunton's book "Antique Needlework Tools and Embroideries".
Emeries were used to sharpen and polish the steel needles of the age. Emery powder is a fine grit and the needles were pushed in and out the cushion several times. It also removed rust.

LAKEWOOD — After beginning the season with six straight losses, the Boulder lacrosse team could have packed it in.
Instead, the Panthers went the other way. They battled their way out of the funk, re-established some pride and fought until the final seconds of the regular season — literally.
Boulder was looking for the equalizer against Dakota Ridge as the Trailblazer Stadium clock ticked down the final seconds of the regular season Friday night, but the visiting Panthers had to settle for a deftly-played 8-7 loss to the playoff-bound Eagles.
"We don't like to say it's a moral victory, because moral victories are when you expect to lose," Boulder first-year head coach Collin Knowles said. "Our expectations were to come in and win, so we're disappointed. But I'm happy with how the guys fought."
Boulder (6-9, 3-5) virtually matched Dakota Ridge (11-4, 6-2) the entire way in the Class 5A Front Range League battle, and the Panthers drew to within one on a tally by Zach Brode with 33.9 seconds left. The Panthers then won the draw, but didn't get the quality look they wanted as the Dakota Ridge defense held its ground.
The Panthers exhibited good balance with six different scorers, and Knowles termed standout freshman goalie Jonny Coletta "the best player on the field." The solid effort was the continuation of a midseason turnaround for Boulder, a transformation from a team that couldn't find a way to win to one that finished 6-3 down the stretch.
"If we played them at the beginning of the year, would the score be 8-7 with us with the ball at the end?" Knowles said. "Who knows? But the idea is that we had a chance to continue to play."
The sturdy finish gives players, particularly departing seniors such as Caleb Donovan, a much fonder season to look back on.
"Absolutely. I'm thrilled we were able to be the team that we knew we could be," Donovan said. "It was kind of hard, because we created a lot of hype for ourselves, high, high expectations. Then after those first six, it would have been really easy to roll over."
Donovan was the only Panthers player with multiple goals, and in actuality, he only scored one. He was awarded another on a strange play in which Dakota Ridge goalie Tanner Pauley saved a shot from Brandon Jacobs, then after looking for an outlet, mistakenly dropped the ball into his own net.
The contest was tight throughout, as neither team had more than a two-goal spread. Taylor Davis scored four goals to lead the Eagles, including three in the third quarter.
Coletta capped his brilliant freshman season with 12 saves, giving the Panthers high hopes for the future.
"There's tons of room for growth," Donovan said. "We have a great freshman class who are going to be sophomores. Some of these kids even took me off the field every once in a while, and while that frustrates me, I recognize that these kids are going to be so far past what I am in a few years."
While finishing three games below .500 in itself was a disappointment, the head of steam the Panthers accumulated heading into the offseason is encouraging.
"I'd much rather lose the first six than the last six," Knowles said.

Answering e-mails……
Is there any chance the Phillies could put up a name banner for Ed Delahanty? He is one of the 5 best Phillies ever and it seems like he is ignored because he played at the turn of the century.
Jack: You are correct, Ed is one of the best players in Phillies history.
As you are probably aware, the Phillies have retired several numbers and they are on display at Citizens Bank Park. There are three Hall of Famers, Delahanty. Grover Cleveland Alexander and Chuck Klein who aren't recognized in this area because they didn't wear uniform numbers when they played. (In Klein's case, he wore six different numbers throughout his career).
Delahanty, Alexander and Klein are recognized in two other areas in Citizens Bank Park. All three are pictured in the illustrated history of baseball in Philadelphia that is located in the Memory Lane section of Ashburn Alley. We also have oil paintings of them in the Cooperstown Gallery of the Hall of Fame Club. In each case, information is included with the photo or painting, which helps educate fans more than a banner containing their names.
The history of the Phillies is very important to the organization. We have been in the National League since 1883 and we are very proud of the tradition.
If you are not allowed to use saliva to throw a spitball, why can Roberto Hernandez use sweat on the baseball?
Fred: Allegedly Roberto is not wiping his sweat on the ball, just using his fingers in rubbing the ball and not the palm of his sweaty hand. That is an issue our coaching staff watches carefully. If they feel there is an infraction, they let the umpires know.
I'm curious if you folks happen to know who is the oldest living member (obviously now long retired) of my favorite hometown team.
Brian: Up until last summer, Bobby Stevens, a shortstop in 1931, was still alive and he was 98 years of age. We invited him to our Alumni Night last August but he was unable to attend because of poor health. He has since passed on.
As best we know, 1B-2B-3B Gene Corbett (1936-38) and RHP Bob Allen (1937) are the oldest at 92.
If your or anyone else has other information, please e-mail me.
Hey, Larry, about the flexibility of payroll—how does the team plan to use that money? I hear the payroll will be cut to around mid 70's next year.
Derek: Yes, we shed payroll around the trading deadline to provide some flexibility for the future. First of all, we will have certain players eligible for arbitration and others that are due raises in the current contract. Dollars can also be used for free agents, the international market and the amateur draft. I don't know where this $70 million payroll figure came from.
Flexibility also enabled us to acquire Jamie Moyer and Jose Hernandez and explore more options for improving the team.
Winning a championship remains our number 1 goal. I know we haven't been in the post-season since 1993 and that frustrates us as well as the fans.
The Phillies are my new favorite team now that they have acquired a true professional, Jamie Moyer. He and his family will be one of the finest additions the people of Philadelphia will ever get. Poor Jamie was runless in Seattle and is still one **** of a pitcher. He will give NL batters fits trying to adjust to his off-speed stuff. I am sad as a Mariners fan, but am excited for the Phils and Jamie.
John: Welcome to the land of Phillies passion. Your comments have been echoed by other Seattle fans. Jamie was huge for the Mariners both on the field and off. We're glad to have him in the clubhouse daily and on the mound every fifth day.
Some day, Jamie will be inducted into the Mariners Hall of Fame. He most certainly deserves the honor.

is it fair to say that the phillies should cut ties with pat the flat and get something rather than nothing
phillie fan
Wondering what you and your readers think of "Invincible"…that's a top-5 sports movie for at least this person outside of Philly. And was wondering about the circumstances of that tryout — am guessing the Phils were on a road trip so Vermeil was able to hold tryouts then — unless it was during day and they were cleared out for a night game at the Vet.

USDA To Monitor Swine Virus
MILWAUKEE (AP) – The federal government is starting a new program to help monitor and possibly control the spread of a virus that has killed millions of pigs since showing up in the U.S. last year.
The porcine epidemic diarrhea virus, believed to be from China, causes severe diarrhea in newborn piglets, who die from dehydration.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced Friday it is stepping up efforts by requiring farmers to report infections and labs where farmers send tissue and fecal samples to report positive tests.
Farms that suffer an outbreak also will have to participate in a program to help control the spread of the disease
Previously, the USDA and the nation's pork industry tracked the disease with voluntary reports from the labs.

Each December (typically), an ice boom is deployed across 1.7 miles (8800 feet) of extreme eastern Lake Erie near the mouth of the Niagara River. The purpose of this boom is to prevent large chunks of ice from flowing down the river, where they might block water inflow to hydroelectric plants, cause ice jams and flooding, and damage private property.

Just a short blog about a few of my takeaways from the winter storm in the Northeast this week...I had no doubt that precipitation type would be an issue in some of the major cities, and I thought forecasters were aware of the difficulties with regard to predicting snowfall.
However, all the forecasts I saw were deterministic rather than probabilistic. And many forecasts were framed in the context of the European and GFS models (essentially, choosing th...

To my dismay, I read a short-range discussion about the imminent winter storm along the Atlantic Seaboard tomorrow night and Tuesday. I quote: "A low pressure system crossing the Midwest states is expected to phase (sic) with another low off the southeast U.S. coast." I don't know about you, but the word, phase," in this context suggests two low-pressure systems merging along the East Coast. It's just not true.
For the record, I usually reserve "phasin...

Last evening, while watching a national weather show on cable TV, a meteorologist began his presentation about the threat of heavy precipitation in California with an enhanced water vapor image (see below; Larger image). As I have preached and preached for years, using water vapor images to quantify atmospheric water vapor is just plain old bad science. And, yet, that's exactly what the meteorologist did.

All of my professional career, I have lobbied for the temperature, 32 degrees Fahrenheit, to be called the melting point of ice. Perhaps it was the stubbornness of youth that made me so insistent. As I have grown older, I now believe that trying to get this convention adopted is a losing proposition. Not even close.
That's because the common experience of almost everyone is that most liquid water does indeed freeze at temperatures close to 32 degrees Fah...

Dear Great Beloveds.....
Greetings and Many Blessings!
My name is Annii.
And I Love You.
And I See You Free!
I am with You.
Thanks for Being with Me too!
God...I need You! Now..... :)))
It is only recently that you came to me...
I was on the Project Avalon site and happened to click on a Cobra interview
with you Alexandra. The minute I heard your voices I could feel my light
body engage with you....and an open heart appeared to receive your gifts!
Thank You.
Meeting you...hearing of the Resistance Movement...the Event...and a whole
range of other "new material" has shaken me deeper yet.
Yes. The Spiral is a radiant Gold unfolding....
The main reason at this moment... for my conveyance... is to share what came
through me in the middle of listening to the three of you this morning.
It named itself One Light.
I Am relaxed into the Heart of Your Knowing……
As I See You Free to BE
To Fly
To Be Unlimited
That's You.
That's Me.
That's We.

For future TOC Online Conference sponsorship opportunities, please contact Sharon Cordesse at email@example.com
Agenda/Schedule | Discounts | Program Committee
Since the last Tools of Change for Publishing Conference in February 2009, digital issues have continued to challenge our industry and create opportunities for those bold enough to innovate. Join us on October 8th for this half-day online conference to explore the state of the art of electronic publishing. This single track and interactive event will dive deep into three areas of innovation and opportunity.
In this half-day online conference, you'll have the opportunity to hear from experts, share your ideas, and join in a conversation with panelists and other participants, all looking to build a solid and profitable future for publishing.
The O'Reilly Tools of Change for Publishing Conference is the meeting ground where emerging trends are examined, predictions are made, and new strategies for publishing come to light. In this online counterpart to the O'Reilly TOC conference, we'll explore today's pressing issues.
US-PDT: 9:00am - 9:20am
US-EDT: 12:00pm - 12:20pm
Conference Chair: Allen Noren
US-PDT: 9:30am - 10:20am
US-EDT: 12:30pm - 1:20pm
Is $9.99 the new "normal" for ebook pricing? Or is the sweet spot closer to $3.99, or $1.99, through the iTunes store? As the age of ebooks dawns, publishers are struggling to find pricing that works for their customers and their business models. It's a time of transition fraught with challenges and opportunities.
Moderator: Joe Wikert
Speakers: Hugh McGuire, Neelan Choksi, Trip Adler, Michael Tamblyn
US-PDT: 10:20am - 10:30am
US-EDT: 1:20pm - 1:30pm
US-PDT: 10:30am - 11:20am
US-EDT: 1:30pm - 2:20pm
All too often our understanding of what readers want is based on what we want ourselves, or outdated assumptions, or even worse—guesses. In this session, panelists will examine the state of the publishing industry through a reader-centric lens.
Moderator: Kassia Krozser
Speakers: Jane Litte, Malle Vallik, Angela James, Sarah Wendell, and others.
US-PDT: 11:20am - 11:30am
US-EDT: 2:20pm - 2:30pm
US-PDT: 11:30am - 12:20pm
US-EDT: 2:30pm - 3:20pm
Speaker: Matthew Bernius
2009 has been a watershed year for ebooks. According to the Association of American Publishers, not only did are year to date ebooks sales up 149.3%, June 2009 saw the highest amount of ebook trade sales so far, $14,000,000 in total. Internationally more than a dozen new ebook readers have been either released or announced, and more are on the way. As Tech consultant and author Geoffrey Moore would put it, the ebook industry is now in the midst of "crossing the chasm," moving from an audience of early adopters towards mainstream markets.
This presentation will cover the current state of the art in ebooks and ereaders - discussing the technologies currently at play and those coming in the near future. Drawing up lessons from the adoption of other products, the presentation will also discuss trends that may influence the long term development of these technologies.
Note: TOC Online Conference Fall 2009 will be recorded and made available to attendees free of charge afterwards.
Program subject to refinement.
All TOC alumni receive a 50% discount to the TOC Online Conference Fall 2009. If you attended a past TOC conference but have not yet received your email invitation to TOC Online Conference with the discount code, please send a message to email@example.com.
Note: All TOC Online Conference participants will receive a 20% discount on the O'Reilly Tools of Change for Publishing Conference, happening February 22-24, 2010 in New York, NY.

Now, the stuff about L:
- Where the cycle track works, it really works. Much of the ride feels easy and breezy (breezier if you ride faster) and there are only a few places, mostly intersections, where it isn't as fun. But the vast majority of the cycle track is just fantastic and the overall cycling situation on L is vastly improved, especially for the person who doesn't want to "mix it up" with car traffic.
- I think I'm ready to conclude that the mixing zones aren't nearly as bad as I thought they would be. This might be because they work or this might be because drivers just ignore them and turn from the travel lane. There are two types of wrong lane turning that I've seen: 1) those people who missed the mixing zone, not realizing that they were supposed to moved left and 2) those people who saw the left turn lane was backed up and "missed" the mixing zone, driving instead to the intersection to turn left. Number (2) isn't nearly as hazardous as it might be, thanks to the fact that at almost every intersection there's a mass of people walking across the street, thereby preventing all drivers' left turns and slowing down traffic to a stop, allowing the individual cyclist to negotiate his way through. Still, though, less than ideal. I can forgive number (1). I think that the fact that most drivers seem to "get it" and use the mixing zones only one day weekday into the existence of the cycle track is a really positive sign. People will learn. As for the willful ignorance of others, I think that'll take some time/enforcement.
- Traffic wasn't irrevocably snarled. I apologize to any local media hoping to make a big deal about this.
- Wrong-way cycling happens on L. Not cool.
- The end of the cycle track at 12th is really jarring. You end up in the left lane of car traffic looking to make the tricky merge onto Massachusetts, made even trickier by the closed lane related to the permanent construction of the Convention Center Marriott. Turning left on 12th would help some, but not me and turning right on 11th would require crossing three lanes of traffic, most of which are cars rushing to try to beat the light onto Mass. Luckily, things are almost always backed up, so I stopped, lifted my bike onto the sidewalk, walked to the corner, and then continued on 11th. DC's bike infrastructure is great. It's the transitions that'll get you.
I rode down 11th to Pennsylvania. On Pennsylvania, I listened to and watched an emergency vehicle try to make it through traffic. I feared that the driver would pull into the bike lane, since some drivers fail to oblige in a way that's way beyond selfish, so I moved over and found myself almost colliding with a lightless cyclist (maybe I should call these people dim?), but didn't and everything was fine.
After riding up Capitol Hill, it was a straight shot down East Capitol. A few blocks in, I was passed by an older gentleman who had a bristly grey mustache. He said "hello" as he rode by. He passed a few other cyclists and it's always interesting to see responses of people in these situations. Who gives chase? Who doesn't care? Who slows down, hops of his bike and curls up in a little ball and quivers, unable to overcome his fear of bristly grey mustaches? A real variety of reactions.
Not going to work today, so there will be no bike commute. I'll be back in business tomorrow.

Canteloupe the two-year-old Italian Greyhound loves to steal things from her owner's desk, so a friend decided to set up a camera and catch her red-pawed.
CamelsAndFriends, the YouTuber behind the doggie surveillance operation, writes:
It got me wondering how exactly she gets up there and how she chooses what she steals, so I decided to start filming! I left the camera on a tripod pointed at the desk and a week later these are my results of Cantaloupe's exploits.
The evidence is clear, ladies and gentlemen. You must find this dog guilty of being cute.

Intimate Moments
Thanks to an eagle-eyed webcam viewer, we've been able to capture one of the first mating sequences of this year's breeding season. Yesterday, AnnieF left a comment that she'd seen the two peregrines mating, and a trip up the Cathedral Tower yielded the clip below. As with virtually all birds, mating is a brief encounter, but one we'll probably see happening quite a few times over the next week or two. Indeed, at 3pm yesterday the male peregrine made a couple of "fly-pasts" whilst the falcon was atop the tower, though he did not land. Last year our birds were mating from 8th March until egg-laying day on 24th March.
Do please continue to post report of interesting activity, and we'll do our best to retrieve them from our recalcitrant video recorders inside the tower.
How to capture and share webcam screenshots. (Flickr Group Pool)If you want to know how to share your pictures with everyone else, we've posted some instructions here. In a nutshell, it involves capturing an image of what's on your PC with the Print Screen [PrntScr] button, then trimming the picture to leave just the webcam view, and finally posting it online to our Flickr Group. We've had over 75 of you doing just that last season, with over 1000 pictures posted already.
Here's one I captured and thought worth adding to Flickr. Any suggestions for a caption?

@Sue Video sometimes gets blocked by work systems. It's working OK for me at home today.
In case anyone missed it, this interesting question and answer were left on the previous post, so I've repeated it here.
Afilsdesigner said...
I have a question: These Peregrines have been breeding for a few years now. Is there any evidence that their offspring have set up their own breeding sites and if so, are they in the same general area? If not, when might they start? Just interested.

Nick Brown (DWT) said...
Afilsdesigner: we know nothing about the whereabouts of any of the young peregrines that have fledged from the Derby nest. If they have survived (and many won't have) then they take 2-3 years to come into breeding condition.
The Cathedral pair would not allow another pair to nest anywhere close to them, so the nearest we might expect to find a new pair setting up territory would probably be in a neighbouring town or city. There are established pairs already in Burton and Nottingham so any young prospecting bird might have to go elsewhere.
Alternatively if one of the birds from an established pair were to die, then the remaining bird might pair up with a younger bird, even conceivably with its own offspring as happened in Bath last year I think.

Thank you team for showing the mating clip and to Annief for her keen eye in spotting it.
Good to see they are breeding here again.

Hi team, the multi view has frozen and the towercam has no picture. Just to let you know

Thanks Phoebe - I'm trying to sort it out right now. I'm fearing that our server mght be about to break down any moment as it seems to be changing its settings without any input from me!
One moment there's an image, then there's nothing. You'll also note some "%20" characters in the header text which appeared yesterday whilst I ws trying to get the image of the baby peregrine to reappear in multi-view. All very frustrating - my apologies to everyone. (I also misunderstood Sue who I thought was indicating that she couldn't see the YouTube video, not that there was a problem with the live feed.
Somebody (apologies for forgetting who) also asked whether there was a real-time video feed, or if they were doing something wrong. The answer is, no, there's no real-time feed - our images should referesh about every 6 to 8 seconds.

Bird on the tower cam in the dark -thought there was a problem with the camera till it moved!!
Also the webcam on the peregrine nest in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada is now up and running for the season...link below.
This will be the sixteenth year that the nest site on the sheraton Hotel has been in use. Lots of pictures etc from previous years on the site.

The female was in the scrape checking out the nesting-place, then at 09.17 the male flew in and, on the rhs of the nestbox, a very formal bowing ritual took place. Then the female flew off.
- 18 March 2010 at 09:19
She's back on the nesting-place checking it all out again, picking at things in the corners, squatting, etc. He's on the tower having a wash and brush -up.
- 18 March 2010 at 09:25
There's something partly obscuring the view on Feed 1 - could it be a feather stuck to the camera?
I should be doing housework but I've become addicted to this pair!
- 18 March 2010 at 11:43
- Peregrine Project Member (Nick M.) said...
Lovely head-bowing display between both birds on the right side of the nest platform at 13:05 local time.
@AnnieF - yes there's clearly a feathre or something stuck to the tower cam lens. I'll go up and clear it away of it doesn't go after the next period of rain and wind.
- 18 March 2010 at 13:09
There's a peregrine, possibly the falcon, on the nestbox ledge, scrape side.
- 18 March 2010 at 18:45
One on the nest ledge one on ledge below nest, was someone up the tower early? or did it clear up by itself?
- 19 March 2010 at 07:12
- Karen Anne said...
One peregrine on the nestbox, one on the ledge below, photo to flicker.
- 19 March 2010 at 08:34
Feed 1 camera's nice and clear now - thanks to the brave man who did that!

- Phoebe said...
12:57 am 19 march 2010
The falcon is in the nest at the moment and has been for quite a few minutes. She has been scratching out the dip ready for the eggs.
- 19 March 2010 at 12:57
- Phoebe said...
The tiercel is sat on the tower waiting patiently as the falcon plucks the prey. I missed seeing if it was freshly brought in.

One bird has been pottering about in the scrape & is now on the nestbox ledge, and the other is perched on that piece of guttering on the tower.
- 19 March 2010 at 17:47
There has been a peregrine on the guttering for several hours now - if it's the same one.
- 19 March 2010 at 20:51
Cams frozen this very minute
- 20 March 2010 at 09:35
Now it's not. It went through the cycle about five or six times and the time stamp didn't change. Nor did the picture. (bird on platform didn't move)
- 20 March 2010 at 09:38
Just mated
- 20 March 2010 at 11:13
One just landed on the tower ledge with prey.

A foggy day in Derby, and one peregrine on the nestbox.

- 21 March 2010 at 06:50
One on the nestbox ledge rhs, the other just flown onto the tower with, I think, small prey.
- 21 March 2010 at 09:01
The falcon has spent several minutes in the nestbox arranging things to her liking.
- 21 March 2010 at 09:31
The tiercel has just arrived on the tower ledge & the falcon is still in the nestbox.
- 21 March 2010 at 09:33
The falcon's in the nestbox - first time I've seen her there after dark.
- 21 March 2010 at 19:20
She seems to be asleep on the nestbox ledge - has been in that position for ages.
- 21 March 2010 at 20:47
She woke up a few minutes ago, stretched her wings, had a good look round, then dropped into the nestbox. I caught a glimpse of a wing over the lens of the tower cam, possibly the tiercel arriving.
- 21 March 2010 at 22:23
She's been in the middle of the scrape for ages now, quite restless & changing her position a lot. No sign of the tiercel.
- 21 March 2010 at 22:46
- Peregrine Project Member (Nick M.) said...
It's been a very frustrating few days for me. Computer problems at home have meant I've been unable to view our webcams since Friday, despite being able to access a handful of other websites, inlcuding our blog.
AnnieF's helpful comments about the female falcon's restless activity on the nest scrape made me check our list of dates for last year's egg-laying, as this did sound rather like the pre-cursor to egg-laying.
In 2009 she laid her first egg on 23rd March. Whilst we had thought she would be a week or so later than last year, it's possible we've miscalculated. So I hope we'll hear a few more updates from you - I can see these but not our view the cameras.
- 22 March 2010 at 00:07
@project member, have you tried accessing thru streamdays?
- 22 March 2010 at 00:38
- Karen Anne said...
Peregrine snoozing on the edge of the nestbox. I was beginning to get paranoid about the camera maybe being frozen (although the time was updating), but she or he finally moved a bit.
- 22 March 2010 at 03:17
She's moved to the rhs of the nestbox ledge and the tiercel is on the tower in front of the camera. She seems to be waiting for something.
- 22 March 2010 at 09:16
@ Project Member: Thanks for reassuring me that my comments are useful! I've felt a bit self-conscious because there are so few other posts, but at least there are real signs now of the "maternity suite" being prepared.
She's been in both ends of the nestbox & is now on the scrape ledge looking out. I don't think she's been away from the box all morning, though I haven't been at home all the time to know for sure.
- 22 March 2010 at 12:24
Having said that, I'm immediately wrong - she's disappeared! But there's a peregrine on the tower ledge with prey.
- 22 March 2010 at 12:37
- Phoebe said...
An adult Falcon I think, has landed on the tower with prey.
- 22 March 2010 at 12:38
- Phoebe said...
She is on the tower resting now. The prey has not been plucked and it looks like a woodcock or possibly a snipe though not certain.
- 22 March 2010 at 13:20
One of them is having a go at the prey now, and as Phoebe said, it's a woodcock or a snipe. Beautiful feathers.
- 22 March 2010 at 14:40
I think it is the tiercel on the tower with the prey caught earlier, he is still there.
The falcon is in the scrape tidying up!

This is a bit cheeky of me and way off-topic, but may I please urge you all to consider having a look here and consider joining the petition against the culling of a supposedly protected species, purely in farmers' interests.

Thanks Terry, I did know it can be done with ctrl and + but not with the Ctrl and wheel, the latter is more useful
Cheers !!
- 22 March 2010 at 17:13
Hi Terry, have signed the petition, hope lots of other's will too, I love the badgers and feed them every night along with Mr Foxy, also send monthly contribution to Mr & Mrs Peregrine of Derby - Long live the wildlife !!
- 22 March 2010 at 18:44
I can only see one peregrine - it's perched on a corbel below the rhs of the nestbox.
- 22 March 2010 at 22:23
- Phoebe said...
@ Annie
that is the Falcon, I watched saw her land there after the bowing in the scrape earlier, the tiercel was sat up top but has gone now.
I notice the dip in the scrape is more pronounced tonight.
- 22 March 2010 at 23:16
@Phoebe: Thanks, I did wonder if it might be her as she has been staying quite close to the scrape recently. She's now tidying a corner of the nestbox.
- 23 March 2010 at 08:59
A very foolhardy pigeon just landed on the tower & is casually preening. The falcon turned from her attention to the dip in the scrape - can she see the tower from there? If so, that pigeon's in mortal danger.
- 23 March 2010 at 09:04
- Phoebe said...
@ annie, she would be able to see the tower from the scrape but only the underneath.
I see she is sitting on the scrape ledge at the moment.
I wonder if we will see the first egg today... as the team posted earlier, the first egg laid was 23 March last year.. :D

The falcon has just dug at the scrape again and is now sitting still, in the nest!
What next.... :D
- 23 March 2010 at 10:34
@ Phoebe: Thanks, I couldn't work out the angles between the 2 camera positions.
She's now sitting in definite egg-laying mode!
- 23 March 2010 at 10:36
- Phoebe said...
What is happening in the nest... they are both there, one each side, the cam is zoomed in on the scrape! Good work Team!
Is it time for the first egg!
- 23 March 2010 at 13:31
- Peregrine Project Member (Nick M.) said...
No, this is courtship display. The male in the scrape (nearly falling asleep, I see) with the female eating on the other side, also head-down from time to time.
A pergerine expert in the SW of Emgland (Nick Dixon) did call today to sugest that egg-laying might be imminent, but then we'd just see the female standing still for quite some time in the scrape, not both together like we're seeing right now. Te male is making short, plaintiff calls as he stares at her.

Thanks Nick, I was beginning to wonder and getting excited. It's great to see this. Thanks again!
But there could be an egg any time I expect!
- 23 March 2010 at 13:46
- Phoebe said...
So the calls he makes is 'egging' her on, so to speak :D
She is sitting fairly still at the moment.
- 23 March 2010 at 13:58
- KerrySuffolk said...
I started to watch last year just before the first chick hatched. Can't wait till the first egg is laid.
Just a couple of questions -
1. How long from first egg being laid to hatching?
2. Is laying more likely to take place during the day or at night?
- 23 March 2010 at 14:25
@ Phoebe: these egg-related puns are going to arrive thick & fast from now on - I'm getting very eggcited myself (!)
Is it the falcon on the scrape ledge right now?
- 23 March 2010 at 14:25
- Phoebe said...
haha Annie! I was serious!
It was the falcon in the nest but she has just gone. I see something in the shot on the nest cam top left of the right hand view, hanging over...

Hawaii-Stanford rewind 2-28
By Cindy Luis
As I mentioned on a previous post, had been wondering when Grgas might go to opposite. It's the position he wants to play but he's been in the middle for what was considered the good of the teamLofy is the No. 1 middle, according to Wilton so the battle for No. 2 has been between Grgas and Rawson. This move for Grgas gives Hawaii a much bigger block in certain rotations when Lofy (6-9) and Grgas (6-7) are next to each other.Hunt's "stupid" injury … and those are his words … has created some problems. He may not be back until mid-March, maybe in time for New Jersey Tech (March 20-21). Hunt broke his hand hitting an immovable object during the second match at Long Beach State. Feel sorry for Cervantes. He's playing his heart out. Defense tonight on both sides was impressive.And do think that if Grgas stays at opposite the Carney would be better served at setter. IMHO.

Only one or two hours per week at home can make a big difference in student progress. Within each, an instructor leads the viewer through several worked algebra problems. I worked on the book for about two weeks, then took it on a week-long vacation with me; my skills were polished up in about three weeks. This branch of math deals with analyzing operations and relations and concepts based on them. However, it can also become as a difficult subject, if the grounds are not clear. A simple example would be a table with two columns and any number of rows. Now we need to convert the expressions into cents. The renewal fees can be cheaper or run the same for the domain name depending on the company you decide to use. He justifies himself in front of his friends by saying that it's cool to get low grades in algebra and hides the fact that actually he is not understanding anything. The notion of Calculus purely bargains with abstract values, hypothetical situations and value predictions to be able to obtain a grip regarding the mysterious. And if that's the secret, then? How does a kilogram of potatoes compare to a pound? Mr X is wily old Variable who is hiding behind a mask and you have to unravel the mystery and pin down Mr X's value. Alternate titles for this page would be: The Quick Basic Math Rules for Algebra. I am 37 years old, married, mother of four wonderful children, and recently awarded my Associates Degree in Computer Science. How can he do it? Ask thought provoking questions such as, "How many whole cups will this container hold? Three times the difference of the butterflies on jasmines and roses are on lilys.If the remaining one is flying freely, find the number of butterflies in the garden. In the recent job scenario, people with a better general understanding are preferred. It was his intention to seek election to the Legislative Assembly after his retirement. One warning sign that is very difficult to miss is when you get a note from his teacher If his teacher suggests getting him a tutor then she has noticed either in class or with his homework assignments that he is having more difficulty understanding the material than most students The advantage of her advice should be taken and an algebra tutor for your child should be sought. More confusion arises for everything which happens after that point from which you lack understanding. There are three forms of the percent equation that the math student should be familiar with. You just need to put search on the internet for the subject and select your preferred master. Slowly everybody deserts Mr X who is isolated on the Left Hand Side and is forced to reveal his real identity (value) in this Algebraic Tutorial.
