UCSD feels strain of rapid enrollment growth
Rajesh Gupta tapped a spreadsheet and said, "If we don't drive these numbers down, the faculty will revolt!"
He was referring to soaring enrollment for UC San Diego's computer science program. The student-faculty ratio has hit 44-to-1, twice as high as it should be.
"Faculty want to accommodate as many students as possible, but they don't want to lower the quality of classes," said Gupta, chair of the computer science and engineering department.
The dilemma symbolizes the sharp growing pains being felt at UC San Diego, especially in the Jacobs School of Engineering, home to one-quarter of the university's nearly 34,000 students.
The engineering school is so crowded that one faculty member asked in an email, "What does a UCSD (computer science) degree mean if more than 50 percent of the classes were taught by temporary instructors?"
The university's overall enrollment rose by nearly 8,000 in the past decade, a boom fueled by general population growth and UC San Diego's increased appeal.
In addition, the private sector has been pushing the region's premier public university to train ever greater numbers of students to do everything from designing drones, to testing pharmaceutical drugs, to making sense of genomes.
UC San Diego could have tapped the brakes on enrollment growth, particularly for the computer engineering department, which is using 500 tutors to help handle the crush of students. But there's a go-go culture on campus, even though the university doesn't have most of the money it needs to handle the expansion.
"If I'd had the resources, I would have grown even faster," said Albert Pisano, dean of the Jacobs School of Engineering. "I'm trying to meet the demands of students, faculty and industry."
More students are on the way.
UC San Diego intends to increase enrollment by 6,000 students during the next five years, pushing the total to 40,000. That would make the campus bigger than UC Berkeley is today.
Plans also call for at least seven new buildings that would collectively cost more than $400 million, a strategy that's largely unfunded at this point.
Even if the campus stopped expanding right now, UC San Diego would still face serious problems.
Campus leaders said they need $300 million for new classrooms and laboratories. There's also a bad shortage of on-campus housing; the waiting list for such accommodations is 3,000 names long. Such a backlog could prevent UC San Diego from recruiting some of the elite graduate students needed to help run research projects.
The rollicking pace of change is stirring concern among the faculty.
"We have to make sure we don't become a big factory that just turns out a lot of graduates," said Todd Coleman, a bioengineering professor. "We need to be cultivating leaders who become vice presidents and presidents of companies, entrepreneurs and innovators like Mark Zuckerberg (of Facebook) and Elon Musk (of SpaceX)."
UC San Diego is one of the nation's 10 biggest research schools, raising about $1 billion a year for research.
Engineering is an important contributor of money and prestige. U.S. News and World Report recently said the university has the country's 17th best graduate-level engineering school.
The rankings show that UC San Diego is great in some areas, notably bioengineering, but that it isn't excellent across the board.
Pisano is trying to fix the disparity, hoping to push UC San Diego into the top 10 list, which is dominated by schools such as Stanford University and Caltech. His strategy partly involves adding small institutes that focus on hot fields such as robotics and wearable sensors.
The dean also is adding faculty and trying to raise donations from industry and alumni.
The money part could be a hard sell. This month, UC San Diego acknowledged that it largely ignored its alumni for decades, figuring that it would always get the money it needed from the state. Then public funding plummeted in the past decade, and UC San Diego now finds itself asking for money from alumni who are largely disconnected from their alma mater.
Engineering has accounted for more than half of the university's growth during the past decade, adding about 4,000 students. Total enrollment for the engineering school stands at 8,900.
Much of the expansion has involved computer science, which has 2,279 undergraduates. The campus has boasted that the figure is the highest in the UC system. But faculty are fuming about crowding and workloads. There's also concern that "compsci" will shift its focus from research to teaching.
Gupta said compsci enrollment might need to drop by 800 to 900 students. Pisano said the figure will probably remain mostly unchanged, but that there would be a higher percentage of master's students.
"Industry is saying, 'Where is your data science program?'" Pisano said. "We need more people with master's degrees in data science."
Data science is one of the hottest fields in the country. By combining statistics and computer science, researchers are able to analyze extraordinary amounts of data. They're looking for "actionable" information in areas such as drug development, stock-market fraud and weather forecasting.
Data scientists also have been sifting through online posts in recent days to see if they can find a link to terrorism in Thursday's loss of EgyptAir Flight 804 about 180 miles north of Egypt.
Gupta estimates it could cost $100 million to start a top-flight data science program. At the moment, they don't have that money.
What they have is demand for their students. It comes from people like Nik Devereaux, director of software engineering at ViaSat, a Carlsbad-based company that creates and sells digital satellite telecommunications.
"We get the majority of our interns and new hires from UCSD," said Devereaux, an alumnus. "They have the technical skills we want, and we find that they fit our corporate culture. We want more of them."

I was thinking of what kind of movies would get me into the pirate kind of mood, since I'm writing pirates right now. I think I have at least one on my shelf, but I can't remember if it's on VHS or DVD. I didn't find it, so it probably is in the VHS box in the storage room. I can't even play VHS any more, so that's not happening anyway.
Then I added VHS and pirates in my head. And I remembered a Norwegian movie my dad had many years ago. Haakon Haakonsen. (Or Håkon Håkonsen, as we call it in Norwegian, since we actually use the letter 'å'.)
I basically grew up with this movie. I've seen it so many times now, but not in many years. I thought "hey, maybe it's uploaded somewhere," and then I found it on YouTube. Guess what I did this morning.
Think Robinson Crusoe meets Treasure Island. A boy has to go to sea to earn money, since the family farm is on the line. He soon gets the hang of seafaring, and becomes a part of the crew. Then, there is a storm, and the ship goes down. The boy is now on a jungle island, all alone, and has to survive. Disney also published this movie in the US, but then it was called Shipwrecked, and all the scenes where they speak Norwegian in the original movie was re-shot in English. I've seen clips of it, but listening to Norwegians speak among themselves in English makes me cringe. It's just something about the Norwegian accent. Ugh. No.
But one day I will get through the English version of this movie.
Fun fact: One of the actors in this movie was actually married to my aunt for some years. And that wedding was the first family thing I brought Husband to.

|peter morgan and elizabeth thomas met at an enya concert in 1997. they discovered a shared love of dinner parties and telling tramps, the trench, poor people and former bradford & bingley employees to get a job (apart from the girl in the bowler hat from the adverts. lloyd always had a thing for her). it was at one of their (now almost legendary) dinner parties that they met victoria, a local "businesswoman" and daniel, a rake. victoria introduced the party to a "trapezoid" business plan that involved forming a small company, which would come to be known as skyline enterprises ltd. daniel was just there for the pudding: banoffee pie.
skyline, through their innovative and irregular business practices, attracted the attention of detective inspector whitehurst of the serious fraud office and he created a file accounting the whole sordid affair: the bad taste in music, the deliberate overpayment of taxes, the unusual combination of fruit and toffee. shortly after completing his task, d.i. whitehurst disappeared without trace. the "dossier" was acquired by skyline in a hostile takeover during the great depression. thus, SKYLINE DOSSIER came to be.

Clergy can be sure stop or support
July 27, 2003
Mental illness will affect one in five families at one point during their lifetime. It crosses all political, economic, racial and religious boundaries. Chances are very good people in your church are affected by mental illness. You could think of this as a great opportunity for ministry. Unfortunately, it is largely ignored.
Let me tell you a story:
Fred and his wife were members of a local church. Fred was hospitalized and diagnosed with leukemia. That Sunday, no one said a word to Fred's wife. When she asked for prayer, the pastor told her, "Fred is sick because his faith is weak. He needs to pray and read the Bible more. He'll get better."
That week in women's Bible study, Fred's wife overheard some ladies, "Did you hear Fred has leukemia? I wonder what sin he's being punished for!" Everyone began avoiding Fred's family. Not even their friends called to ask how Fred was doing. There were no cards or flowers. There were no offers of meals, baby-sitting, or any other kind of help and support.
Sound ridiculous? Of course it does. Everyone knows that leukemia is no one's fault. It is a failure of the bone marrow. Sadly this scenario is played out in churches everywhere. The disease however, is mental illness, a failure of the brain.
Mental illnesses are physical brain disorders that profoundly disrupt a person's ability to think, feel and relate to others and their environments. Mental illnesses are more common than diabetes, leukemia or heart disease.
Recommended Stories For You
A diagnosis of mental illness is just as devastating as one of any major illness. The needs of the family are just as great. And with any illness, many families turn to their pastors and churches to help meet their needs. Unfortunately, people with mental illness, and their families, are generally treated with very little compassion and understanding. Why is this? There is a stigma attached to mental illness. This kind of thinking results from fear and lack of knowledge. Education is key.
Pastors, you especially have a tremendous opportunity to reach out to families devastated by mental illness. By becoming educated about these diseases, you can give families the understanding and support they desperately need. NAMI (National Alliance for the Mentally Ill)-Weld County offers a variety of free resources to help educate you and your congregation. For more information, please call 330-4041.
Linda Bass is president of the Weld County chapter of the National Alliance of the Mentally Ill and the mother of an adult child who has a mental illness.

Alice is lost. And this time it isn't Wonderland.
|And the sun dove shyly behind the mountains.
Peepcove Highway stretched out before Alice like a huge slice of dream cake heaven as she drove through the first tunnel that seemed never ending by any stretch of the imagination.
She enjoyed the burst of what felt like winter sunlight that caught her in its glow as she emerged into a broader expanse of road, with wild flowers and yewberries growing on either side. A truck drove by, not stopping at all, without even an indicator, the damn driver cheekily grinning like a mad hatter as he drove past her.
What the...
Alice hit turbo determined to overtake the wiseass at any cost. Hitting sport mode, she revved ahead at top speed, touching 180.
As she gained speed, she could make out the orange truck in front of her, shaped like a matchbox and bearing the company logo: Key Cake Logistics.
Up ahead the world grew dark and Alice realised that she was making her way into the next black tunnel. The shadows of the tunnel gradually gobbled the truck up and before she knew it, a vast curtain of darkness wrapped around her like a crow's cold body.
She pressed on, gritting her teeth. For a fraction of a second, she turned her attention to turn on the music that belted out a song about dreams, sung by some crazy old fart named Richards.
She slowed the car gradually and by the time she turned around and stared ahead she found herself looking at a road that turned completely brick yellow ahead of her and the...truck?
A couple of strange red mail boxes on the way caught her eyes as the road twisted and turned ahead of her like a complex network of brain cells, with red mailboxes spread out like millions of bright neurons. Lost, she stared around.
Whatever happened to that truck?
She braked in the middle of the road and stared ahead. Something seemed familiar about the place, but yet she couldn't fathom what it was. She pulled the car to a safe distance from the road into a meadow near the woods and a rather dense one at that, a couple of yards behind.
Getting out of her car she opened the boot to take out her camping equipment. She decided she would wait for the night to fall, before giving her friends a call and asking for directions.
The thing moved in the silence of the oncoming night, its bulbous body wrapped in a shiny film. It stopped its silent slithering, cocking its enormous head in the direction of a sound emanating from a bunch of wild trees in the corner. There was something at once very otherworldly and yet familiar about it, as it squeezed itself through the branches heaving its huge form, and then with a sudden reflex stood up on its fours scanning the stars through its red shot ruby eyes.
Oozing slime through its every pore it moved through the maze of mulchy undergrowth as it rumbled on. Towards the direction of this new sound...
Alice was slowly losing patience. The seconds were turning into minutes and the minutes into hours. To make it worse, the mobile phone wasn't responding! Just when she needed to talk to someone!!!. The mobile stubbornly kept showing no network coverage, again and again and again.
It was then that Alice sensed it. An eerie stillness that hung in the air. The chill in the ...could it be called air? The other peculiar thought creeping up over her like the dense fog over the woods, was another startling revelation: why, of all things was that truck the only vehicle on this brain patterned highway? There were no other cars. No silly boys passing by to stop and ask a beautiful, lost woman if she needed help. No tow truck. No police patrol. No nobody.
She decided to cry absurdly, amidst the sheer pang of hopelessness, not to mention that tingling of fear that generally accompanied loneliness. Where was her camping gang?
But the tears didn't come.
A rabbit stared ahead at something dark under the foliage. There was a sudden burst of red as an explosion of flesh, snapping bone and ripping skin that filled the air as the poor thing was torn into a million pieces by the bulbous mass of hooves and spurs, in an instant.
A huge horn like that of some deranged unicorn, spiked the rabbits innards, lifting it proudly into the air. Moving its huge mass and fur, the shape shook its whole body like a Bacchian creature saluting an ancient ritual of a triumphant kill. What followed was a sickeningly loud bellow that shattered the forest. Standing in mute testimony were the bloodied trees - the only ones to stare back at this bloody spectacle.
Alice suddenly jolted out of her sleep, rudely awakened from some sort of bad dream in the comfort of the yellow tent that she was sheltering under.
She thought she had heard a sound…
A distant clap of thunder followed by a sheet of thin drizzle warned her of more trouble. It almost felt like fate was slapping her hard, a kind of absurd punishment for a wishful evening of camping. A song echoes through the tunnels of her brain:
Cuz the night has a thousand eyes
A thousand eyes
A thousand eyes
There was no question about it. Much as she hated admitting it, she felt someone was watching her from far off.
The shifting form rumbled through the morass of green spindles and sticks that crunched under its weight, edging closer to the delicious smell of fresh human flesh - so perversely delicious. It stopped a moment, its head cocked to one side with the sudden advent of the icy rain that pelted the forest like a billion needles. And then moved on, licking its bloodied mouth, spitting out bones and rabbit fat, while clearing its mouth for what seemed certain to be a delicious feast ahead.
Alice jolted her head in the direction of an alien sound that sounded muffled against an unmistaken rustling of trees, made all the more faint, no thanks to the downpour outside.
Grabbing her flashlight and shivering against the biting cold, she popped her head out of the tent struggling to see ahead.
Just then a mass of something huge knocked her flashlight away to one side. She looked up and froze, as the beams of light from her fallen torch settled on a ghastly hooded figure with fur and hooves and smeared with rabbit blood all over.
As she opened her mouth to scream against the violent rain and the dark nothingness around her, her voice was drowned by an unnatural neigh.
It was the Night Mare.
And it was doing the neighing.

How to Prevent Summer Breakouts, According to This Skin Guru
Rachel Lapidos・June 27, 2016
With a full calendar of rooftop hangouts, BBQs, beach days, outdoor workouts, and more, summer is probably the season you most look forward to. But that also means that there's no shortage of sweat, pool chemicals, sun, and humidity—resulting in what is best described as a warm weather pimple explosion (a horror film we'd rather not star in).
"Summer can be very harsh on your skin," says Yen Reis, the skin expert extraordinaire and founder of laser facial hotspot Skin Laundry (which opened a new location in New York City's Midtown East this summer, and has another landing in Tribeca late-August). "Heat and humidity intensify oil production, which clogs pores with dirt and debris. This often leads to more breakouts during the summer months." Sounds about right: The streets of New York City, for example, don't exactly seem to be filled with healthy air—and the proof tends to show up on your face.
But don't let a little skin emergency send you back inside, missing out on summer fun for the sake of a clear complexion. We spoke to Reis about how to prevent the pimples from happening—so that you can go makeup-free and show off your glow rather than hide indoors (or under layer upon layer of foundation).
Ready to fight the muggy pollution that has a less-than-desired effect on your skin? Try these five expert-approved tips for keeping your face protected from summer breakouts.
1. Tone, tone, tone
"We always recommend a toner for summer. Specifically during the summer, you have lots of dead skin cells that were dried by the sun—and that's when your pores get clogged," says Reis. "Tone in the morning and tone every night so you're removing those dead cells, allowing your new skin to reproduce faster." She recommends a toner that's packed with antioxidants, and preferably with aloe vera and witch hazel like this one (which soothe and detoxify, respectively).
2. Use a light SPF moisturizer
Reis advises you to look for a more watery moisturizer with SPF in it, as the thick ones clog your pores. "When it's too heavy, your pores can't breathe—and that's when a lot of problems happen," she says.
If you're going to be in the sun, Reis says to reapply every two hours to stay protected.
3. Keep your face clean
"In the summertime, you should really wash your face every morning, afternoon, and evening," says Reis. "This is because of your sweat, the pollution from the sun, and all the environmental damage happening on your skin—it causes all this dirt buildup."
She notes that makeup remover wipes work just fine, so throw some in your beach bag and give your skin a refreshing swipe midday to keep it fresh.
4. Pare down your makeup routine
Another big pore-clogging culprit? Foundation, according to Reis. "Try a light tinted moisturizer and maybe an herbal concealer on a brush to cover your problematic areas," she says. "Blend it in and keep it light."
She also strongly advises against using all of the contents of your makeup bag (as you may be inclined to do before heading out for the evening). When you're getting ready, "take that time to use facial wipes and then reapply your moisturizer, use a concealer stick, and perhaps mascara." The goal is to wear as little on your skin as possible.
5. Don't over-exfoliate
"Many people assume that you should exfoliate a lot to get rid of the skin cells," says Reis. Not true—at least, not during the warmer months. "Over-exfoliating in the summer strips everything from your pores. Your sebum then produces more oil to recover, which is the last thing you want in the summer because it'll make your skin too oily—which is when breakouts happen."
Reis recommends exfoliating once every week or 10 days—but really, even that isn't necessary. "A toner is a milder version of that, so if you're toning on a regular basis you won't need exfoliating," she says. Think of it this way: The less time you spend at your sink, the more time you can spend outside.
In the midst of a breakout right now? Here's how to get rid of a pimple, the Ayurvedic way. You might also want to try one of these nine smoothies that give you glowing skin (and taste delicious).

Product Details
"Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night." - Edgar Allan Poe. It has been nearly two centuries since Poe left to the world a trove of literary treasures that have inspired generation after generation as few purveyors of the written word ever have. He created frequently beautiful, always mysterious, and oftentimes hideous fantasy worlds in prose and poem; fathered at least an entire genre that today flourishes; has been flattered by literal hordes of imitators (of which only a handful, including H.P. Lovecraft, have achieved noteworthiness; and in the last half-century has become virtually synonymous with Vincent Price. Countless volumes of Poe�s work have been compiled and released over the years, and numerous chronicles of life exist -- yet Poe himself has always remained enigmatic, having left primarily cryptic clues that reveal only glimpses of the person inside the fa�ade he presented to the world. Most agree that, during his lifetime, he intentionally created a persona that would propagate interest in his literary ventures. But even the cause of his untimely death was argued by those who examined his body. Did he merely succumb to a long love affair with the bottle, or was he beaten to death by unknown assailants, his body quite free of alcohol at the time? In EVERMORE, fifteen writers examine Edgar Allan Poe from as many different perspectives. Some who afford us glimpses into the poet�s life, as if to convince us they know certain secrets � some forbidding, some alluring � that that no one else could; others as participants in Poe�s own dreams, living and breathing within the works he created. In each of EVERMORE�s tales, Poe and his legacy come to life in new and unprecedented ways, proving that the master himself remains just as intriguing, and just as vital, as when the unsuspecting readers first found themselves taunted by an avian horror who spoke to them nothing more than the simple word �Nevermore.� Edited by James Robert Smith and Stephen Mark Rainey.

Dan "Kuk" Kukulka and Jason Woodarek happened to meet at a mutual event a few years ago. The two had a lot in common with Woodarek owning AJ's on West State Street in Olean and Kuk owning Hoagies in Ellicottville. Naturally, the two hit it off and "talked a lot of shop" that night, so when Kuk called a few months ago to tell Woodarek he was retiring, Woodarek knew an interesting opportunity had just come knocking on his door.
A fixture in Ellicottville, Hoagies has been serving pizza and subs from its Monroe Street location over 26 years and Woodarek knew he could continue the tradition while infusing it with his own personal touch. Woodarek, along with his wife Lisa, decided to go for it and bought the restaurant in April 2013.
Woodarek said, "Hoagies' menu is very similar to AJs with pizza, subs, wings and salads. We use the same style roll for subs and our pizza is also made with fresh dough."
When you stop in and check out the menu, you'll notice some delicious additions to the menu like pitas, calzones and gourmet salads like the Strawberry Field and Paradise.
"We are also adding several new steak subs and chicken subs, and we've have upgraded the meats with custom-cut steak, which we grill to perfection for each order," said Woodarek. "At AJs, we're known for our steak subs and we hope to bring that same great flavor and consistency to Hoagies."
Customers will be happy to know that the chicken wing subs are still made in Kuk's style.
"Our turkey subs feature premium Butterball meat," said Woodarek. To add some heat to your sub, he recommends adding their "new, extra-hot crushed pepper relish that is truly one of a kind."
Sides include fries and onion rings, as well as fresh nachos. If you have a sweet tooth, round out your meal with a variety of cookies. For chocoholics, Hoagies is hoping to add brownies to the menu soon.
Next time you're strolling down Monroe Street, step inside and say "hello." You'll be greeted by friendly staff and an updated interior including warm, earth-toned walls and a TV in the dining room. Hoagies even has sidewalk seating for al fresco summertime dining.
Woodarek said the restaurant caters to families of all sizes and welcomes customers to the laid-back atmosphere complete with free Wi-Fi.
Can't make it there but have an insatiable craving for a sub with the "werks," then you're in luck. Hoagies offers free delivery during lunch and dinner hours.
To accommodate demand, Woodarek said, "During ski season we will most likely expand the delivery hours."
Hoagies is still recruiting drivers, cooks and front counter help as they prepare for the summer festivals and upcoming ski season. During peak ski season, Woodarek said he hopes to have around 10 employees.
Currently the day-to-day operations are headed by the mother-son team of Suzette Pietras and Brandon Munson. Pietras handles weekday lunches, while Munson covers nights and weekends.
Woodarek said, "Both have several years' experience in the food industry and have been very instrumental in getting the new Hoagies up and running. They pride themselves on making the customers happy with great tasting food and awesome customer service."
Don't know what to try first? When asked for his menu recommendation, Woodarek enthusiastically responded, "Try the Meat Lovers Calzone with the extra-hot crushed red peppers on it or the steak and sausage sub." And don't forget to check out the weekday specials.
Restaurant hours are Monday–Thursday, 10 a.m.–9 p.m.; Friday–Saturday, 10 a.m.–10 p.m.; and Sunday, 11:30 a.m.–7 p.m. For phone-in orders, call (716) 699-4696. Check out the new menu at www.hoagiesubs.com.

Simon Corbell has announced a token bike fleet's unveiling at the Department of Environment, Climate Change, Energy and Water (Pronounced "Deck You").
- The fleet will be used by staff at the department to get around town and will initially consist of five bicycles, more will be added if there is sufficient demand.
"This is a great way for staff at the department to reduce the carbon emissions generated through their work-related travel," Mr Corbell said.
"So many of the meetings take place within close distance to the department's offices in Lyneham and this project makes good sense.
So would you borrow a fleet bike to jet across town? And if you were so inclined would you already have a bike there instead of driving to work?

LSD Helps Explain How Brain Makes Meaning
Emerging research with the psychedelic drug LSD has led to breakthroughs on our understanding of how the brain assigns meaning to particular experiences.
We all have unique remembrances of particular things — a favorite song, for example — that mean much more to us than others.
Now, investigators who have studied how perceptions of meaning change when people take the psychedelic drug known as LSD have traced that sense of meaningfulness to particular neurochemicals and receptors in the brain.
The findings appear in the journal Current Biology.
The new insights add to our fundamental understanding of the human experience. The research is also relevant as it suggests potential new targets for drugs to treat psychiatric illnesses or phobias. The findings are believed to provide insight for when individuals abnormally respond to particular sensory experiences or cues.
"Our results increase our understanding of how personal relevance attribution is enabled in the brain," says Katrin Preller of the Zürich University Hospital for Psychiatry.
"[We now know] which receptors, neurotransmitters, and brain regions are involved when we perceive our environment as meaningful and relevant."
Earlier studies showed that LSD alters the attribution of meaning and personal relevance to the environment, Preller explains.
LSD also changes the way people perceive themselves, as the distinction between the self and the world outside the self-blurs. But it wasn't clear exactly what parts of the brain and which neurochemicals were responsible.
Preller and colleagues first confirmed the usual effects of LSD on study participants' state of consciousness, mood, and anxiety in the lab. They found that those psychedelic effects of LSD were erased when participants took a second drug called ketanserin that blocked the ability of LSD to act on serotonin receptors known as 5-HT2ARs.
That finding came as something of a surprise because LSD is also known to stimulate dopamine receptors, Preller says.
To explore LSD's influence on the way people attribute meaning to things in their world, the researchers asked participants taking a placebo, LSD, or LSD plus ketanserin to rank the meaning attached to a series of songs.
Some of those songs were ones that participants told the researchers were particularly meaningful to them. Others were either neutral or without meaning.
The researchers found that musical pieces that were previously meaningless to participants took on special meaning when those individuals were under the influence of LSD.
That effect was diminished when participants were given the second drug to counteract LSD's effects on the brain's serotonin receptors. Brain imaging studies also linked those changing attributions of meaning to particular brain areas.
"By combining functional brain imaging and detailed behavioral assessments using a specific experimental paradigm to investigate personal relevance or meaning of music pieces, we were able to elucidate the neurobiological correlates of personal relevance processing in the brain," Preller says.
"We found that personal meaning attribution and its modulation by LSD is mediated by the 5-HT2A receptors and cortical midline structures that are also crucially involved in enabling the experience of a sense of self."
Preller says they now plan to explore whether they observe the same effects in response to visual or tactile stimuli. They also hope to explore the relevance of their findings to dysfunctional attributions of meaning in people with psychiatric disorders.
"Excessive stimulation of 5-HT2A receptors seems to underlay the experience of loosening of self/ego boundaries, disrupted self-referential processing and thus the related impairment of making meaning and attributing personal relevance to percepts and experiences seen in various psychiatric disorders," she says.
"Therefore, it is important to consider this receptor subtype as potential target for the treatment of psychiatric illnesses characterized by alterations in personal relevance attribution."
A separate study in Cell on the structure of LSD and its receptor, and what this teaches us about the drug's potency, was also recently published.

In my game I have object with non-kinematic rigidbody which is moved using transform.Translate() method (guess this way I'm not getting CCD even if it's turned on?). And I have OnCollisionEnter(Collision col) where I react on collision, using contact points and other info from collision.
And all seemed ok, but then I made it possible to pause the game. When paused - I do not update the position of my objects, so they should stay still. But then I clearly saw my object slowly moving in the direction of his velocity (or similar direction). My guess is that somehow object's rigidbody still reacts with other rigidbodies on collision thus gaining itself some acceleration. That's not what I want. Also, when I tried spamming objects and watched them colliding with each other at some point they began to jump off each other with tremendous speeds. Which is probably due to physics reaction too.
So, is there a way to disable the reaction, yet still get the collision info (like contact points, normals and such)?
Before sleep an idea came to my mind. I probably could set rigidbody's velocity to zero on each update. Though, that's not a good solution at all.

ISLAMABAD: Ending violence against women is not a matter of a one-off celebration; rather it is an attitude that has to be taken back to homes, communities, workplaces and society at large, said Bushra Zulfiqar, Writer and Gender Activist during the launch of 'We Can' campaign's Pakistan Assessment Phase II report and Strategy Paper held here on Tuesday.
Bushra said that the founder of nation Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah articulated and envisaged an extremely imperative role for women in nation-building, economic development and politics. "Today we have to strive to provide the women of Pakistan enabling opportunities to utilise their potential," she added.
The report reveals that a campaign had been started namely 'We Can' in five countries of South Asia including Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and India in the year 2005 and has completed its 6 years in March 2011. The underlying belief of the campaign was that 'the personal change becomes the agent for social change'. The campaign has used the stages of 'Change' theory. It began with changes in individual and thus led to changes in community. The campaign was implemented through national partners who enrolled community agents of change called change makers. The campaign aims at reducing the social acceptance of violence against women in different forms.
According to the report, the state has initiated various pro-women legislation and policies after years of campaigning by civil society organisations. However, the initiatives are still not effective enough to provide the support and protection to women need as survivors or as equal citizens of the state. Discriminatory legislation are still applicable, there have been amendments to make them less dangerous towards women, however, there is no evidence to show that the amendments are having the desired results.
The Pakistan campaign initially focused on engaging directly with over 65 district based NGOs which are doing awareness raising and undertaking the process of recruiting voluntary change makers. The findings of the campaign indicate that such activities have contributed in bringing about a shift in individual and collective attitudes. However, the extent of influence is context specific and is influenced by role of other actors including the state, media and civil society. The data also exhibits that there are different deterrent and reinforcing factors in each area.
Neva Humaira Khan, Country Head, Oxfam GB said, "I take pride when I look back to the achievements of women from all walks of life in Pakistan who have very bravely stood against all forms of violence and discriminations. 'We Can' Campaign has successfully generated over 3,50,000 Change Makers across 41 districts in Pakistan inculcating awareness around gender inequalities with positive shifts in paradigms towards all forms of violence against women. Every single Change Maker has declared changes in multiple systems of life after becoming sensitised by 'We Can' campaign, which is the highest rating among Change Makers from Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Nepal & India. Nonetheless, the journey doesn't end here, and there is a lot we have to do to bring together many scattered patches of success into a unified struggle for a promising future."
People from all walks of life joined hands to extend support to'We Can' campaign towards ending all forms of violence against women, advocating women empowerment and access to equal opportunities for women across Pakistan.
"With the help of the Change Makers, millions of people have been enabled to address violence in their homes and other spheres of life", said Dr Noreen Khalid, Manager EVAW and Girls Education, Oxfam GB. Javed Hasan Aly, Public Policy Expert and Ex-Civil Servant told the audience, "Dogmatic Obscurantism, the root cause of violence against women is a consequence of intellectual degeneration and moral turpitude.
We need to fight against dogma and obscurantism if we want to revive a progressive society given birth by our Holy Prophet (PBUH) where women were of equal consequence to human, social, political and economic lives as men. There is a serious call for civil society to invest in religion for the revival of Islamic learning in its true essence."

Nominee: Jake FroodJake Frood, 8 yrs old from Leeds.
Jake has just become the YOUNGEST MASTER 3rd DEGREE BLACK BELT IN THE WORLD. Jake completed the 5 hour test on Sunday 2nd October at the AEGIS Martial Arts and Leadership Academy and then received his 3rd Degree Black Belt at a Graduation Ceremony at Leeds Grammar School on Sunday 9th October. Jake has hit the headlines twice before when he broke the World record for gaining his 1st Degree Black Belt at the age of 5 years old and then his 2nd Degree at the age of 6 years old.
What makes Jakes success even more amazing is that he suffers from Juvenile Arthritis, an immune disorder and Severe Hyper mobility disorder all of which make Jake suffer excruciating pains in his legs, arms and chest and make him extremely tired. He battles through the pain and keeps on achieving outstanding results.
On top of this he has just returned from the World Kickboxing Championships a Double BRONZE Medalist. The Competition was held in Universal Studios Resort in Orlando, Florida in America 23-30th September.
In America more shock was to come when it was found that there was nobody in Jakes category as he was the youngest competitor out of all 28 countries. It was decided that Jake was to be moved up from his original category of 8-9 yrs -40kg weight division in Full Contact Kickboxing to Under 13 yrs -45kg. The children he fought were almost a foot taller than young Jake but he fought hard and made it to the Semi Final losing out to gain the very respectable BRONZE Medal. Such an achievement from a child so young. He gained a lot of respect from many other coaches, managers, competitors and spectators from across the world, who said Jake had great courage and spirit just to step into the ring.
He then was asked to fight in the England Under 13 Team fight for The Points fighting category, which is a category that Jake doesn't even fight in. He fought well again against a child much bigger and older than him in the semi-final and the England Tea

Various Stages Of Gum Diseases
Gum or periodontal disease is not only a disease of gums, it is an inflammation and infection of the connective gum tissues that can affect the gums, teeth and the tooth bone. You can visit an emergency dentist Edmonton for your oral examination and see if you have gum disease. There are 3 stages of gum diseases and the symptoms are easy to identify such as swelling, redness, and bleeding of gums.
Stage 1: Gingivitis
Gingivitis is gum inflammation without affecting the tooth bone. In this stage, a person may have bleeding gums and experience pain while chewing. They may also have bad breath due to excessive bacteria. Other symptoms of gingivitis include tender or swollen gums, gum redness, gum recession, and the formation of pockets between teeth and gums. Gingivitis is generally caused due to harmful bacteria in mouth or plaque buildup. These bacteria attack the gum tissues along and below the gum line thus, causing inflammation. The worst part about this disease is that it is often overlooked and ignored due to minor symptoms. If identified, gingivitis can be easily reversed with the help of proper brushing and flossing, careful diet and medication. However, if ignored, gingivitis can lead to the next stage of periodontal or gum disease which is known as periodontitis.
Stage 2: Early Periodontitis
Early periodontitis is a stage when the gums are even more inflamed and a partial tooth bone loss is experienced which results in loose permanent teeth. This happens when plaque hardens into tartar and reaches below the gum line. Tartar is difficult to remove with only brushing and need professional treatment. Periodontitis can be treated with the help of medication and non-surgical methods such as in-depth cleanings, scaling and root planing. The major focus of this treatment is to remove the plaque or tartar buildup from the teeth surfaces and gum line so that they don't affect the gum tissues any further. If not treated in time, periodontitis can become serious and result in even more painful gum disease which is known as advanced periodontitis.
Stage 3: Advanced Periodontitis
During advanced or severe periodontitis, the connective gum tissues are completely destroyed and the pockets between the gum and teeth deepen. This results in gum recession and severe bone loss that also leads to loose or shaky teeth. Harmful bacteria can easily settle in these deep pockets and further result in decays and cavities. These deeper pockets may even be filled with pus which results in unbearable pain and bleeding. This is the final stage of gum diseases and is very difficult to reverse. A root scaling treatment can work to some extent to cure advanced periodontitis. Tooth extraction and intense cleaning are the only options if root scaling doesn't work.
Prevent gum or periodontal diseases from growing serious with the help of regular professional cleaning. If you are already experiencing any of these symptoms, take proper precautionary measures and visit an emergency dentist Edmonton.

Buddha's Hand Citron
One of the oldest members of the citrus family, this large lemon like fruit is segmented into finger like sections. Although it has the fragrance of a lemon it has no juicy pulp beneath its rind.
It is grown for its fragrant rind and non bitter pulp. The origin of Buddha's hand plant is traced back to Northern India and China. Many Chinese and Japanese households hang it in their homes as a natural air freshener but I think that it's best enjoyed at the table.
My favorite way to use them is:
(1) thinly slice and sprinkle with sea salt and use as snacks or serve with cocktails
(2) with a potato peeler cut many very thin slices and add to a salad or use them as a salad base with thinly sliced onions and oil-cured ripe black olives
Other uses are:
(1) make citron tea by adding slices to a cup of boiled water
(2) candied citron slices
(3) use to make citron marmalade
(4) add slices to flavor water, no acid
(5) add slices to fish or chicken dishes
(6) saute thin strips with garlic and olive oil, add to cooked vegetables
The peak season is late fall and early winter and they
are currently available at Whole Foods Markets.

We are loving these dairy-free peppermint patties because they are so easy to make and everyone loves them!
If you want to get out of the holiday cookie making rut, I couldn't recommend these dairy-free peppermint patties more.
Dairy-free peppermint patties using rich morsels from Enjoy Life Foods make a wonderful treat for any occasion this upcoming holiday season.
They are literally the easiest treat to make and are a definite crowd pleaser. Plus, everyone can help make them! I also like these low carb keto cream cheese cookies from our friend Maya at Wholesome Yum for another easy recipe that little hands can help with. I'm not the best candy maker but this recipe lets me feel like a true confectioner! No thermometer needed.
I mean I do love making Christmas cookies as much as the next girl. Whether it be our gluten-free snickerdoodles or easy gluten-free snowball cookies, they are always on my winter baking checklist.
However, I love that the family and I can make these dairy-free peppermint patties in a snap and enjoy them with one of our favorite holiday movies.
They are so easy, I can even make them mid-year for our annual Christmas in July festivities.
I like to whip them up easily in a mini muffin silicone mold. They are great both with and without the mini cookies. I have to say that the mini cookies add a lovely crunch and taste.
However, they are great on their own too. Enjoy Life Foods has a couple different varieties of mini cookies that would be great inside!
The double chocolate would add another rich depth of flavor. The honey graham would give it a lighter taste and the chocolate chip are just classic.
My friend Erin has uses the Enjoy Life Foods chocolate and brownie mix in her vegan peppermint brownie truffles. They are great if you are looking for another delicious, dairy-free chocolate recipe.
Tips for the best dairy-free peppermint patties
- When using dairy-free butter, be sure to not melt it prior to mixing (they are usually soft enough)
- You can add 1-2 tsp. of oil to the chocolate when melting for a bit more shine but it isn't necessary
- Rolling the peppermint filling into a cylinder and refrigerating will give you perfect sliced discs. However, just placing the filling on top of the cookies works great as well and tastes great.

- Meanwhile, in a glass bowl heat the Enjoy Life Foods chocolate morsels for 1 minute
- If you need to, microwave for another 20-30 seconds if not entirely melted
- Once the chocolate is melted, pour onto each peppermint patty until the cavity is full
- Freeze for 20 minutes or until completely set up
- Remove by popping each out of the silicone mold

Angelo's Arrives
Almost forgotten Channel Five sitcom Angelo's is given a new lease of life next month, with the release of the complete series on dvd.
The show ran for one six-episode series in 2007, and was written by and starred Sharon Horgan – a name which should be familiar to the discerning peeler. Frequently collaborating with Alice Lowe, Horgan co-starred with Alice in Rob Brydon's Annually Retentive and in 2009 became the voice of Lifespam after Lowe was unable to squeeze in a physical part for her. This association continued with Jackal Films projects last year – returning to narrate the Lifespam spin-off My Old Baby, and guest starring in the demonic Bretheren.
Horgan also co-starred in Free Agents – a Channel 4 sitcom featuring Matthew Holness, but of course is best known for her BBC sitcom Pulling.which featured guest appearances by Alice Lowe and Gareth Tunley. She also played Chris O'Dowd's mother in his Little Cracker for Sky One last Christmas – so her TVO credentials are sound! With her star in the ascendant, Horgan recently hosted an edition of Have I Got News For You?, and was recently announced in the role of Homily Clock alongside Christopher Eccleston, Stephen Fry and Victoria Wood in a new BBC adaptation of The Borrowers set to air over Christmas.
It is perhaps, no surprise then that Angelo's – a show which was previously somewhat ignored by the channel and audiences alike – is being revisited now for a dvd release. And if Horgan's own links to the world of Booshdom were not enough – the cast also boasts Alice Lowe, Shelly Longworth and Simon Farnaby amongst its regulars, alongside Lifespam's Steve Brody, plus Paul Garner, Kim Wall, Javone Prince, Hyperdrive's Miranda Hart and Mongrels' star Paul Kaye! There's even a blink and you'll miss it appearance from Colin Hoult!
The dvd features a making of documentary, as well as audio commentaries by Horgan, producer Damon Beesley and director Chloe Thomas, plus the original short that inspired the show, Trafalgar Square and Angelo's Taster Tape. Priced at only £7.99, you can pre-order it from The Velvet Onion Amazon Store now – with a release date of July 12th.
Until then, here's a clip of Simon Farnaby as rubbish street-artist Kris, to whet your appetite…

The Answer to Wind Fear. Fast, Effective and Guaranteed
If just thinking it causes you to start to feel the fear, it's time you did something about it. The good news is that we have yet to come across someone with a case of wind fear that couldn't be overcome.
If you are now ready to have this over and done with, here's what you can expect from us:

- Privacy and complete discretion
- Clients in 70+ countries have put their trust in CTRN
Getting Started
There are two programs we offer to help you overcome wind fear fast. You can choose to experience the Home Study program (going at your own pace on your own time), or choose to work one-on-one with a highly-qualified practitioner:

One-on-One 'VIP' Program
Customized Program with your own very Experienced Practitioner
• Private Sessions with Board-Certified Specialist
• Sophisticated Suite of Techniques to Remove Underlying Fear
How Does the Program Work?
It is all about learning to redirect your unconscious mind, which sounds like a lot but is easier than you may think. Your rational mind knows that your Wind Fear is illogical. But the fear remains because, with even just a thought of air movement, your subconscious mind triggers fear and other negative emotions.
Up to now, you have not had the techniques to reprogram those connections or feelings, so they feel out of control. We're here to give you give you what you need to take back control. Are you ready to learn and utilize these techniques?
- Are you ready to speak with a Board-Certified Specialist? Contact Us Now Contact Us Now >
The Only Real Solution to Your Fear
We're going to leave the terms 'treating' and 'curing' to the medical profession. The key to this program is knowing that you are the one who will be making the changes. We're going to walk you through the process that helps you re-program that tricky subconscious thinking.
This process has proven procedures for overcoming rage, fear, depression, remorse and feelings of apprehension and helps you gain self-assurance, peace and happiness. You know what living with your fear has done to your quality of life. You can decide that it's time for the negative feelings to change.
Risk Factors & Causes for Anemophobia
Wind fear in many (but not all) cases is triggered by a nasty experience in the past. In some cases, it appears the brain has produced the fear with no instigation. The key is digging down to the source and replacing negative associations with more positive emotions. Persons that find themselves at greatest risk:
• Individuals who are predisposed to feelings of worry and anxiety
• Someone considered to be 'easily upset'
• People suffering from adrenal insufficiency
Do those, in any way, represent you? To find out what others are saying about our ability to help, click here.
Or, if you prefer, read about us in the media.
Tests, Symptoms & Diagnosis
To find out the gravity of the problem for you, use our 2 minute Online Assessment for Wind Fear Online Test although it is fairly clear cut: The time to act is now, if this phobia is causing negativity in your life.
- Does the thought of Air Movement make you nauseous?
- Does your mouth go dry and your palms get sweaty?
- Does your heart rate instantly sky-rocket?
- Do your legs go weak?
Those were only a handful of examples of the feelings you might suffer. If you want to understand more about the symptoms of Wind Fear, click here.
We address the symptoms, but we uncover the source, to eliminate them both. Our goal is to have you get rid of the root cause of the fear.
Drugs and Prescriptions
We feel drugs and medication for Wind Fear aren't the best approach, but make sure you always follow a doctor's advice when taking or stopping any prescription. A pill can sometimes act as a quick fix and may seem to help briefly but will not allow you to be free of the fear.
By the way – no one has ever developed a drug exclusively for Wind Fear – and with all the undetermined possible side effects, it is difficult to rationalize taking a prescription as the answer.
The good news is using our methods, you'll overcome Wind Fear, without the use of any meds..
