Flash Digest – News in Brief
By Zach Buchanan – Edited by Henry Li
Court Orders Town to Reimburse $3 Million in Unconstitutional Speed Camera Tickets
The Ohio Court of Appeals ordered the town of New Miami, Ohio to pay back over $3 million in speed camera tickets, affirming a lower court decision from 2017, and ending a six-year legal battle over the town's speed camera usage. New Miami is a tiny town – less than a single square mile – but it will now be sending out $3,066,523 in refunds to various drivers who passed through the town on US 127, a major highway. New Miami has been using speed cameras to have the local police issue speeding tickets by mailing the tickets directly to drivers, without any involvement from the criminal justice system or from insurance companies.
The court noted that because recipients of these tickets were unable to challenge their tickets, New Miami's methods resulted in a "denial of due process." Additionally, the court was wary of New Miami's relationship to the speed camera provider, Blue Line Solutions. Blue Line gave New Miami the traffic cameras for free, in return for New Miami agreeing both to run the cameras for at least 100 hours a month and to split the fines from the camera tickets with the company. The relationship naturally encouraged New Miami to become a speed trap where police could issue easy tickets to score both the town and the camera company money.
New Miami tried claiming a sovereign immunity defense by arguing that it cannot be liable for monetary damages in a civil suit, but the Appeals Court was not swayed, noting that this lawsuit was seeking refunds and not ordinary monetary damages. The Appeals Court quoted the Ohio Supreme Court that "a suit that seeks the return of specific funds wrongfully collected…is not barred by sovereign immunity." This $3 million payback fine will fall now entirely on New Miami; Blue Line Solutions is not liable if the town deployed the cameras unlawfully. Despite the blow, the court assured New Miami that it "has the authority to enforce its traffic laws…in a constitutional manner."
ICE Gets Access to a Nationwide License Plate Database
The Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency got its own holiday gift this year, finalizing a contract in late December that will grant them query-based access to a nationwide license plate database. The agency made this push back in 2014, but tucked the idea away in the face of backlash. In light of the government's recent focus on immigration, however, ICE was finally able to close the deal and tap into an existing license plate database containing billions of plates. As a result of the deal, ICE can now avoid building such a database themselves.
Russell Brandom at The Verge reports that an ICE representative said the data came from Vigilant Solutions (though Vigilant has declined to confirm any such contract). Vigilant has been scanning license plates and compiling data for years in partnership with vehicle repossession agencies, local law enforcement agencies, and other private groups. Their current database contains around two billion plate/location records. ICE will have access to these plates going at least five years back – that is, ICE will be able to do a historical search and see every place that a particular plate has been spotted in the past five years. ICE will also be able to develop a "hot list" and be notified any time a plate on the list is found. A DHS privacy assessment claims that such use of license plate data can help "determine the whereabouts of subjects of criminal investigations or priority aliens to facilitate their interdiction and removal."
These recent developments are giving rise to concern amongst various populations. With this new access, the Department of Homeland Security can effectively track much of the national population. At least one state took steps to try increasing privacy in the wake of these developments. California introduced a bill that would have allowed drivers to put removable covers on license plates when cars are lawfully parked. However, the California Senate voted down the bill on January 30, leaving Californians stuck with the rest of the nation, uncertain of what this new contract will mean for individual privacy.
Courts Rule Social Media Cannot Be Held Responsible for Acts of Terrorism
In recent cases, courts have ruled both Facebook and Twitter not liable for the actions of terrorists who used the social media platforms. The Facebook ruling was in the Eastern District of New York, while the Twitter ruling was in the 9th Circuit.
These types of lawsuits are not new. Several lawsuits have been filed in the past, often by the family members of victims, seeking to hold social media companies responsible when terrorists use their platforms to communicate or recruit. These lawsuits often attempt to circumvent the immunity that CDA Section 230 grants to social networking sites by using novel applications of legal concepts. Tim Cushing at TechDirt explains that the two recent Facebook cases were thrown out for failure to state a claim, noting that "terrorists us[ing] social media to recruit and communicate does not somehow turn social media platforms into material support for terrorism." In fact, the New York District Court opinion notes that the plaintiffs' claims to hold Facebook liable were "completely disingenuous" and "border[ ] on mendacious." Despite the strong language and the dismissal, it seems likely that plaintiffs will appeal the district court's decision to try and maintain their case.
However, even the appeal may prove unsuccessful, much like the appeal in a California suit trying to hold Twitter liable for providing "material support" to ISIS terrorists. The California District Court had also dismissed the initial lawsuit, calling plaintiffs' claims that Twitter violated the Anti-Terrorism Act "tenuous at best." On appeal, the 9th Circuit judges noted that "[they] conclude that Twitter has the better of the argument," ruling unanimously that the plaintiffs did not show sufficient relationship between Twitter and any of the terrorists' actions. The plaintiffs could continue their suit by filing for an en banc hearing or by appealing to the Supreme Court. However, it appears as though courts may have made up their minds that social media platforms are safe from responsibility for the conduct of their users and seem unwilling to undermine Section 230 immunity any time soon.

I had an engagement a while back with the Audi RS5 Cabriolet in Monaco, and getting me from my lair in northern Italy by plane connection is an utter waste of time since the first flight is always to either Paris, Zurich, or Rome, three cities not at all on the way to Monaco. So I phoned Audi Italia about a quick loan of a car for the three-hour-ish drive to this event, and they were simpatici enough to propose that I keep whatever they gave me for two weeks. And what they gave me was a loaded Audi S8 with properly chosen 20-inch Dunlop SP Winter Sport treads attached.
This was about to be a much cooler two weeks than I had planned.
On the other hand, several colleagues looked at me and then at the car, and then said, "You'll love the thing until it's time to fill it." I was determined to show them all that the 23.8-gallon capacity of premium fuel would not break my will to love the S8 as though it were my own in everyday driving over the next fourteen days.
Having grabbed the key fob to the S8, it was immediately off to the silly little principality of Monaco over Italian autostrada and French autoroute for 280 miles. Not until the offramp for Monaco were there any bits resembling something dynamically challenging, so prior to that I concentrated on the cabin, the ride, and how it stacks up against competitors.
As a cruiser... the S8 is one blissful experience.
As a cruiser at a steady 80 miles per hour while in eighth gear of the Tiptronic gearbox, with all parameters set in either (at one extreme) Efficiency or (at the other) Dynamic modes of the onboard Audi Drive Select, the S8 is one blissful experience. While the snow tires should have been transmitting more road noise, the cabin's noise reduction materials seemed to be keeping out most of it. There's also the fiber-optics-based Audi Noise Control that functions through the $6,300 Bang & Olufsen premium sound system, negating natural noises by producing varying counter frequencies. (We'll need to bring a family dog aboard the car to check whether the ANC drives Fido nuts at all. Mythbusters material, at least.)
Interior materials throughout this segment of cars are universally great to live with and sit on, so I cannot choose one as better than the others easily. Most likely, it's a very personal aesthetic preference. But the S8's standard 22-way adjustable front seats are as favorably enjoyed as the entire car itself, and the very typical precise workmanship and pleasant-to-touch surfaces of Audi reign supreme here as well. Then, using the MMI infotainment console dial together with both finger-touch writing and voice recognition, the S8 multitasks seamlessly as a rolling office, and all of its controls make easy sense.
The average real fuel economy was a seriously impressive 24.4 miles per US gallon.
By the time I had reached that Monaco exit on this first longer leg, the average real fuel economy was a seriously impressive 24.4 miles per US gallon. Some of this improvement in efficiency versus the previous S8's 5.2-liter FSI V10 can certainly be traced to the new EA 82 4.0-liter bi-turbo V8 with cylinder-on-demand technology. Stay below 111 mph, above third gear and between 960 and 3,500 rpm under gentle pedal load, and the 4.0-liter switches to a sort of V4 powerplant. That's what I was doing for all those highway miles at 80 mph and COD – together with other efficiency measures on the new engine – make Audi's boast of a 23-percent hike in fuel efficiency while adding 15 percent in power ring true.
And there is power here: 512 horsepower together with a readily available 479 pound-feet of torque from 1,700 rpm on up to 5,500 rpm. All that has been written so enthusiastically regarding the fourth-generation Audi S8's ability to scoot – be it from a stop or while dashing through a series of curves – is true. There is effectively no turbocharging lag, the eight-speed Tiptronic in Dynamic is exactly as crisp as it needs to be, and the adaptive air suspension performs its share of miracles with this 4,641-pound sports car. (Yes. Sports car.) Estimated acceleration to 60 mph is a frankly astonishing 3.9 seconds, but it can do that even more quickly without a doubt.
Estimated acceleration to 60 mph is a frankly astonishing 3.9 seconds.
Steering feel is every bit as numb and over-electrified on this S8 as on about every other Audi with Quattro all-wheel drive built today. Then, too, with the engine's placement being not much behind the front axle at all, there is a bullish tendency for the front end to push through some curves if you haven't nailed the line into and through. On another note, the quad-barrel sport exhaust makes a sweet sound on-throttle, but I barely heard this sweetness from inside the noise-neutralizing passenger cabin.
Back on the abundant plus side, our S8 was dressed with carbon ceramic front brake discs and the rear sport differential that maximizes the action of the rear-biased Quattro all-wheel-drive system. The standard adaptive air suspension in its normal state – or Auto – on the S8 sets the car four tenths of an inch lower than a stock A8, the end result being that the dynamics overall, despite the zombie feel to the steering wheel itself, are easily the best in this showboating class. Notch everything on ADS over to Dynamic on a sleek dry road and, even with the wintry Dunlops, it's a beautiful thing. I would have preferred the optional 21-inch Continental summer tires, but wasn't complaining, particularly when it proceeded to dump snow all over the place soon after our Monaco sojourn.
Dynamics overall, despite the zombie feel to the steering wheel, are easily the best in class.
In the snow and set up accordingly, the S8 is every bit as eager to dive in and help. Set ADS to Efficiency and the throttle tip-in is predictably slow – this helps everything when things get cold and covered in six inches of the white stuff. At one point, a rogue Italian snowplow literally walled us in to the curbside while we were in getting an espresso and chatting. All other cars walled in with me were having a hell of a time of it, but I put the S8 in Reverse for about one foot and then lunged forward and out of it all without so much as spinning a tire. It felt as satisfying in my bloated imagination as a trot around the bags after hitting a grand slam, left shoulder dipped down just a little bit lower than the right.
The S8 comes in just the one standard size with no extended wheelbase available, this helping somewhat to keep down its average selling price versus others. The competitor that comes closest to an S8 in sportiness and overall feel is the ultra-expensive ($140k before abundant options) Porsche Panamera Turbo S. The premium sport sedan closest in about every on-paper category, including having a more traditional four-door-with-trunk silhouette, is the BMW Alpina B7, though it frankly lacks the testosterone count and sophistication of the S8.
On sale in the US since fall 2012, the latest Audi S8 is probably the single best one of this big-shouldered bunch. It sets itself apart chiefly by truly fulfilling the letter "S" in its name, to the point where it's damned tempting to call it an RS8.

The History of the
Ford Mustang 1964-73
Shortly after the Ford Mustang made its appearance at the New York World's Fair in April of 1964, the Ford Motor Company knew they had bet on a winning horse. With the sale of 100,000 Mustangs in the first 100 days of its release, a number that Ford's own market research had suggested was a good goal for the first entire year, it was clear that the Mustang not only captured the imagination of American car buyers, but would also capture a sizable chunk of the American car market. Ford's introduction of the original pony car set a new standard that would leave their competitors scrambling to enter the race and compete for the attention of a new generation of American car buyers.

Lee Iacocca, the general manager of the Ford division, had convinced Henry Ford II that the buying market was eager for an affordable sporty vehicle. Iacocca utilized considerable market research to support his claim. Research revealed that there was a significant number of young people, the "Baby Boom" generation born in the years following WWII, that would not only be driving soon, but also, taking into account a projected healthy economic future and their potential buying power, would be in the market for their own new vehicle.
Iacocca correctly presumed that this new generation of car buyers would be looking for a vehicle to set them apart from their parents, something that would reflect their own independent identity and status, something exciting. Iacocca set out to produce a car that would appeal to a youthful car buyer in both style and price.
The start-up costs for the new model would be kept low by borrowing much of the parts from the Ford Falcon's existing parts bin. The Mustang's engine, transmission, suspension, steering, and brakes came from the Falcon line. Wherever possible, parts were also borrowed from the Fairlane, as well as from the full size Ford line in an effort to keep production costs, and in turn Mustang's sticker price, down.
Similar in size to the Falcon, the Mustang shared none of its sheet metal and was proportioned to look like a sports car with a long hood and short rear deck. This design gave up some of the interior and trunk space of the Falcon, but gave the Mustang a stylish sporty look that would ultimately appeal to the youth market Ford was targeting. Unlike the utilitarian Falcon, the Mustang came standard with a well-equipped interior that included bucket seats, sport steering wheel, floor shift, carpeting, and headliner.

The Mustang was offered with an extensive selection of interior color choices and exterior paint options. Part of Ford's marketing campaign focused on the many options available for the Mustang in an attempt to promote the possibility for the buyer to build their own personal Mustang. Depending on the options one ordered, the Mustang could be anything from an elegant, stylish commuter to and all out high performance hot rod. Ford marketed their new model heavily, using a variety of media and promotional events. The hype created around the release of the Mustang, combined with the car's winning design, translated into buyers herding into showrooms.
Available as hardtops or convertibles, the first Mustangs, produced from April through August of 1964, are commonly referred to as 1964½ Mustangs to distinguish them from later models produced in the year, which are known as 1965 Mustangs. However, all models produced this year have a VIN number that designates them as 1965 models. A few significant differences that set the 64½ Mustang apart from cars built later in the year are a generator, which was replaced by an alternator on the 65's, and the base V8 engine option, which was a 260 cubic inch engine in the early Mustangs and switched out for the 289 cubic inch, 2bbl, 200 horsepower engine later in the year.
A 289 cubic inch, 4bbl, A-code engine rated at 225 horsepower and a High Power K-code 289 engine rated at 271 horsepower were available options. The 170 cubic inch straight six-cylinder was the base engine for the Mustang. Transmission options included a 3-speed manual, 4-speed manual or automatic transmission, and the Mustang was available with a wide selection of rear end gear ratio options.

The 1966 GT350H, a Shelby Mustang, was available through the Hertz company for customers who were older than 25 and willing to spend 17 dollars a day plus 17 cents a mile for the privilege of "renting a racer." Many renters indeed went right from the lot to the track. Shelby made only 1,001 GT350H Mustangs specifically for Hertz in 1966, making surviving cars rare and some of the most desirable, and expensive Shelby Mustangs among collectors.

The available options for Mustang continued to expand throughout 1965. A 2+2 fastback model joined the hardtop and convertible, and the 170 cubic inch straight six-cylinder was replaced with a 200 cubic inch straight six as the Mustang's base engine. Pony interior, which featured many upgrades, including seat covers with the image of horses running on seat back, was introduced this year as well as the GT equipment option. Mustang GT's were available with a 4-barrel carburetor, dual exhaust, front wheel disc brakes, and larger sway bars. The Mustang GT option also included grille mounted fog lights and GT stripes that ran along the lower body between the wheels.
The Mustang GT wasn't the only performance option for 1965. In late 1964, Ford approached legendary racer Carroll Shelby with an offer to produce a high performance version of the fastback Mustang. The Shelby Mustang GT350 "Cobra" would prove to be a solid performer and over the next 5 years Shelby would produce a limited number of some of the most memorable and collectable Mustangs ever built.
Ford tampered little with the Mustang's formula for 1966. Subtle changes in appearance distinguish a 1966 Mustang from a 1965 model. The honeycomb grille of the 1965 Mustang was switched to a series of thin chrome bars for 1966. Lower rocker moulding was standard for '66, as were back up lights located in the valance below the rear bumper.

The first major restyling for the Mustang occurred with the 1967 model. Slightly bigger than its predecessors, a trend that would continue throughout the first generation line of Mustangs, the wider body allowed for Mustang's first big block V8 option. The 390 cubic inch V8 was rated at 320 horsepower, significantly raising the performance potential of the pony car. The 1967 Mustang continued to be available as a hardtop, convertible, and now, a full fastback that carried the roofline to the rear of the trunk. Interior options that were new for 1967 included an overhead console and tilt away wheel.
Similar to the subtle changes between the 1965 and 1966 models, there was little difference between the 1967 and 1968 Mustangs. Recently implemented federal safety regulations were responsible for a few changes between the model years. Side marker lights were located in the front fenders and rear quarter panels of the '68 and the interior was upgraded with an impact absorbing steering column. Also new for the Mustang interior in 1968 was an optional AM/FM stereo. The base V8 engine of previous years, the 289, was replaced by the 302 cubic inch V8.
1969 would see the next significant change in styling for the Mustang. Still available as a hardtop and convertible, the fastback Mustang of the past was renamed the Sportsroof model. Continuing the trend towards larger cars that pervaded throughout the era, one that affected other models in the Ford lineup as well, the Mustang was bigger than its predecessors. The base engine remained the 200 cubic inch straight six-cylinder, but a 250 cubic inch six-cylinder was also offered as an option for 1969.

The era of Detroit muscle was in full swing in 1969, and the Mustang was running up front with a wide variety of V8 engine options. Some notable standouts included the Boss 302 and Boss 429, which were offered in limited production Mustang models. One distinctive styling change for 1969 included the addition of 2 headlights added to grille. Along with the Boss Mustangs, new models for the year included the Mustang Grande, featuring interior upgrades and extra sound deadener, and the Mach 1. The Mach 1 was available with a low gloss black hood, a hood scoop (an actual shaker scoop with the 428 cubic inch Cobra Jet engine), hood pins, dual mirrors, suspension upgrades and dual exhaust.
As in the past, Ford carried a major restyling of their Mustang into a second year with only minor changes. The 1970 Mustang did have a few notable differences in appearance from the previous model. The grille headlights that gave the '69 Mustang its distinctive quad headlights were removed for '70, returning the Mustang to dual headlights. The taillights, similar in appearance to the 1969 model, were now recessed.
The interior received high back bucket seats as standard equipment and 1970 also saw the introduction of a locking steering column. The ignition key was moved from its previous location on the dashboard to the column to facilitate the locking function. This set-up, in a slightly different form, is still being used today.
The 390 cubic inch V8 was dropped and the 351 Cleveland replaced the 351 Windsor that was offered previously. The Mach 1, Boss 302, and Boss 429 remained options for 1970.
1971 was the next and last restyling for the first generation Mustang, and the largest model yet. The 200 cubic inch straight six-cylinder, the long running base engine for Mustang, was dropped. Also dropped for '71 were the 428, Boss 302, and Boss 429 V8 engines. New V8 engines for the Mustang in 1971 included the Boss 351, rated at 330 horsepower, the 429 and Ram Air 429 each rated at 370 horsepower. The Mach 1 continued to be offered, and now featured a color keyed front bumper and honeycomb grille.
The Boss 351 featured a 351 Cleveland engine topped with a 4-barrel carburetor. The horsepower hit the street by way of a 4-speed transmission with a Hurst shifter and a 3:91:1 traction lock rear end. A low gloss black hood treatment, twist hood locks and body side stripes gave the Boss 351 Mustang a distinctive appearance. Other features included power front disc brakes, an upgraded suspension with staggered rear shocks, and dual exhaust.

There were few changes in the Mustang for 1972, however, one significant change in direction, possibly the result of new government fuel economy regulations, was the absence of the Boss 351 and both 429 V8's as options. The Mach 1 remained, continuing to be a strong representative of Mustang muscle.1973 was the last year of the first generation Mustang. Subtle changes like square chrome headlight bezels and a standard color keyed front bumper set the '73 apart from the previous model year. This was the last year for the convertible model, which would not return to the Mustang lineup for many years. The Mach 1 and Grande models remained, but were much the same as previous models. As the end of the first chapter for the Mustang came to a close, it appeared Ford was looking ahead at the Mustang II and some big changes for the direction of their popular pony car.

Selective Herbicides
These weeds tend to have narrow, long leaves with parallel running veins compared to the netlike pattern that broadleafs create. They do not bear colorful flowers and the leaves are very similar and hard to distinguish from each other. Seed heads are one of the best ways to tell the difference between these types of weeds
Examples of grassy weeds:
- Bahia
- Bent
- Bermuda
- Buffalo
- Centipede
- Fescue
- Kentucky Bluegrass
- Rye
- Seashore Paspalum
- St. Augustine
- Zoysia
If you have a grass that is not listed above, please contact us to help determine which herbicide is right for your lawn.
Starting at: $16.90
Nufarm Prosedge kills Nutsedge and other troublesome weeds in it's tracks. Yelllow Nutsege is not controlled by traditional grass or broadleaf herbicides. Prosedge contains the same active ingredient halosolfuron-methyl that is in Sedge-Hammer. Prosege is a fast-acting selective herbicide. Prosedge is absorbed into leaf tissue within 24 to 48 hours and begins the process of killing the weed.Learn More
Starting at: $88.85
Dismiss Herbicide, by FMC is a selective, post-emergent herbicide. It has shown to work faster than Certainty, Sedgehammer or Monument. Dismiss Herbicide is one of the best herbicides for sedge weed control in residential and commercial turf. Troublesome sedges such as green kylinga and yellow nutsedge are knocked out with visible results from one to two days. It not only attacks the surface of the weeds but better yet, gets into the soil to penetrate the sedge tubers. This penetrating soil action helps to prevent additional outbreaks of sedges. It is also labeled for the control or suppression on over 45 broadleaf weeds and grasses.Learn More

Irvine Police Department Press Release
Subject: Suspect Identified in Irvine Homicide
Contact : Bill Whalen, Commander – Crossroads Area 949-724-7025, email@example.com
Irvine, CA – The Irvine Police Department (IPD) has identified the suspect involved in a homicide on an Irvine bike path. The suspect is identified as Dennis Thomas Monson, Jr., age 37, transient.
In the early morning hours of Jan. 19, 2016, Monson was with 51-year-old victim Sidney Siemensma, with whom he was acquainted, on a bike path adjacent to the Interstate 405 near Irvine Center Drive behind the Los Olivos residential community. An altercation occurred, and Monson repeatedly stabbed the victim. The suspect then fled the scene.
At approximately 7:00 a.m., IPD received a report of a bleeding man from a jogger, followed by similar reports from passing motorists. IPD responded and located Siemensma, who was determined to be deceased.
Detectives began investigating the case and quickly identified Monson as a possible suspect. That night at approximately 7:20 p.m., an IPD officer patrolling the area located and contacted the suspect on the same bike path where the homicide had earlier occurred.
It was subsequently determined that Monson was in possession of child pornography on his cell phone. The suspect was charged for the child pornography by the Orange County District Attorney (OCDA) and has been in custody on those charges since Jan. 19, 2016.
While Monson remained in custody, IPD continued investigating the homicide, including submitting evidence for forensic testing. Based on the evidence in the case, IPD has identified Monson as the suspect in the murder of Siemensma and the case has been submitted for criminal charges to the OCDA.
It is believed that Monson is the sole suspect in this case and there are no outstanding suspects.

ARGENTINA (3 November)
The Government estimates that some 7.05 million hectares of wheat were planted this year, 9 percent more than last year. The crop, due to be harvested in the next weeks, is forecast at 17.5 million tonnes. Prospects are favourable for wheat crops due to increased plantings and favourable winter weather conditions. However, some yield losses are expected following heavy rains and moderate temperatures in September and October that are ideal conditions for fungus development. The heavy rains of spring have also delayed land preparation for the forthcoming 2002 maize crop, and planting intentions are down by 5 percent from last year.
BOLIVIA (3 November)
Planting of summer cereal crops is underway and the prospects are favourable. Water reservoir levels are increasing from spring defrosting after a particularly intense winter of heavy snowing in the highlands, where floods earlier this year damaged an estimated 40 000 hectares of crops. The departments most affected by the floods were La Paz, Cochabamba, Potosí and Chuquisaca. The food supply situation of the affected population is expected to tighten in the coming months because no crops were planted in the highlands during winter and the next harvest is not due until May. FAO is supporting the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Rural Development (MAGDR) in the provision of agricultural inputs for planting summer season crops in 1600 affected farms.
Wheat import requirements for marketing year 2001/02 (July/June) are estimated at about 300 000 tonnes.
BRAZIL (3 November)
Harvesting of wheat crops has been delayed by persistent rains, but it is anticipated that the crop will reach 3 million tonnes compared to 1.6 million tonnes in year 2000. The smaller second season maize crop (safrinha) is officially estimated at 8 million tonnes, compared to 4 million tonnes last year. Aggregate cereal production in the central and southern States of Brazil during 2001 is anticipated to increase from last year following increased plantings and favourable weather conditions. Planting of the important first season maize crop is underway. According to Brazil's National Food Supply Company (CONAB), soybeans are likely to substitute maize crops this summer due to more favourable prices of the former. As a result, the area planted to maize to first season maize in 2002 is forecast to decrease by 12 percent relative to last year. Planting intentions of paddy crops have increased by 2 percent from last year.
Brazil is forecast to import some 7 million tonnes of wheat in marketing year 2001/02 (July/June) and 600 000 tonnes of rice in marketing year 2001 (Jan./Dec.).
CHILE (3 November)
An estimated 415 000 hectares of wheat have been planted this winter compared to some 400 000 last year. The crop is reported in good conditions despite the wet winter, and production is forecast to increase by 7 percent provided normal weather conditions prevail. Planting of maize is underway and the area is forecast to increase to 90 000 hectares from 82 000 hectares last year. Low paddy prices are not making production attractive to farmers and planting intentions are forecast to decrease 27 percent from an estimated 28 000 hectares last year.
Import requirements for marketing year 2001/02 (July/June) are estimated at 300 000 tonnes of wheat and 1.1 million tonnes of maize (mostly yellow). Rice imports in marketing year 2001 (Jan/Dec) are anticipated at 60 000 tonnes.
COLOMBIA (3 November)
A dry spell in October favoured harvesting of first season crops, and planting of second season rain-fed crops is underway. Rains are reported normal in the Orinoco and Amazon areas, but elsewhere the dry weather conditions are not favouring crop development. Harvesting of the main paddy crop was completed in October. Paddy prices are low and the government has stopped rice imports until next year to prevent prices from falling further. A UN inter-agency mission that visited the country in August concluded that population displacement has increased. The mission observed an increase in the numbers, geographical extension and political complexities of the displacement phenomenon, and insisted on the need for protection and humanitarian assistance of the affected populations.
Import requirements in marketing year 2001/02 (July/June) are forecast at 1.3 million tonnes of wheat and 2.2 million tonnes of maize.
ECUADOR (3 November)
Harvesting of the small 2001 second season coarse grain crop was complete in September and planting of the main 2002 coarse grain crop is underway. Winter rains, some 30 percent lower than normal, affected the development of 2001 second season crops in the Andean provinces of Pichincha, Tungurahua, Azuay and Chimborazo, and yields were about 20 percent lower than the average level obtained last year. In the Ecuadorian Amazon, one of the poorest areas in South America, localized floods caused by intensive rains during June totally destroyed maturing coarse grain crops of some 2200 subsistence farms. The food situation of the affected farms is expected to tighten in the next months because the next crop will not be harvested until April 2002. In August, ashes from the Tungurahua volcano forced the evacuation of approximately 20 000 people from their homes, killed some 6 000 cattle, and damaged about 48 000 hectares of pasture and crop land in the provinces of Tungurahua and Chimborazo. The international community is providing food assistance to the affected population.
Import requirements in marketing year 2001/02 (July/June) are estimated at 450 000 tonnes of wheat and 200 000 tonnes of maize.
PERU (3 November)
Planting of the first and most important season crop has started under normal spring weather conditions and is due to continue until December. The 2001 agricultural campaign is coming to a close and aggregate cereal production is forecast to increase 5 percent from last year. In the north of the country, water reservoir levels in Piura and Lambayeque are adequate for the 2002 irrigated paddy crops already being planted. In southern Peru, in the department of Puno, yields were below-average after crops were damaged by drought and heavy rains. In the departments of Arequipa, Moquegua, Tacna and Ayacucho, rural areas were hit by a strong earthquake and a tsunami wave on 23 June 2001 that damaged the irrigation system of approximately 116 000 hectares of 60 000 farmers, 2000 hectares of coastal crops and the fishing equipment of 1000 small fisher folks.
Import requirements in marketing year 2001/02 (July/June) are estimated at 1.3 million tonnes of wheat and 1 million tonnes of maize (mostly yellow).
URUGUAY (5 November)
An estimated 150 000 hectares of wheat and 115 000 hectares of barley have been planted this winter, representing an increase of 22 and 27 percent respectively from last year. Both crops developed normally during winter due to cold and rainy weather, but heavy rains in October and moderate temperatures have more recently favoured crop diseases. The heavy rains have also delayed land preparation for the forthcoming 2002 summer crops, although prospects are favourable due to the accumulated water in the soils. The area planted to paddy is forecast to decrease 7 percent from the 190 000 hectares planted last year.
VENEZUELA (5 November)
Harvesting of white maize started in July and is expected to continue until early next year. Last year white maize production increased substantially and the government was forced to intervene to sustain producer prices. This year production is forecast to remain at last year's high level of 1.3 million tonnes. Maize prices in September were falling but the Government has since September suspended imports to allow the surplus grain to be absorbed by the industry at sustained prices for the producers.
Import requirements in marketing year 2001/02 (July/June) are expected to be around 1.3 million tonnes of wheat and 1.1 million tonnes of maize.

Sure, Seattle's known for coffee shops. But this city has its share of bars, too — and some of them are pretty darn good.
Well, two of them are, anyway.
That's according to Wine & Food magazine, which recently released its list of best bars in America.
San Francisco and Los Angles are well represented on the list, but Seattle bars only appear twice. The two spots Food & Wine singled out as worth of being on the "best" list: Capitol Hill's Tavern Law and Belltown's Rob Roy.
Here's what the magazine had to say about Tavern Law:
From the duo behind the gastropub Spur, Tavern Law has classic cocktails, lots of whiskeys and fancy bar snacks like oxtail banh mi sandwiches. Through a heavy vault door is Needle & Thread, an upstairs bar where drinks are custom-made.
And about the Rob Roy:
You can order Anu Apte's Ginger Persuasion or Zane Harris's Aster Family Sour at this cool, 1970s-inspired cocktail den.
We know Seattle has more to offer than just two great spots to get a drink. Earlier this year, we compiled our own list of 20 Seattle bars you don't want to miss. Take a look and let us know what we missed.

THE National Railways of Zimbabwe (NRZ) wants government to prescribe that certain bulk commodities be transported by rail, among a raft of measures to revive the ailing parastatal, writes NewsDay
The move would come after NRZ has been recapitalised, board chairperson Larry Mavhima told NewsDay.
The rail parastatal is seeking $635 million from its shareholder, the government.
"We propose ring-fencing of certain commodities, that they can only be moved by rail, the commodities are your big granite stones, which weigh around 30 tonnes each, there is no need to have it transported by road," he said.
"Imagine the fuel used and the damage to the roads. Your lumpy chrome ore, which is becoming big business for us, also has to be ring-fenced."
Mavhima said there was need for a massive investment into NRZ's infrastructure, which has made rail transport unreliable.
"We don't want a prescriptive process. NRZ can only request those favours from government once we prove we are efficient. That particular one can only come after recapitalisation and that will strengthen the NRZ and reduce the cost of transport," he said.
Mavhima said NRZ has a total of 2 760km of railway track.
About 10% of this track is under caution, where trains approaching those sections are forced to slow down to nearly below 10km per hour or else they risk derailing.
"In certain areas, they [trains] have to slow down because the track is no longer stable. If trains go beyond 10km, there is what we call a kick out or derailment. It has to be repaired for us to maintain a constant speed so that we improve turnaround time," he said.
NRZ faces challenges with its centralised train control system, which has gone down making it difficult for train drivers to work.
"Before, it was done automatically by just pressing a button. Now we have a system where a train driver and his assistant have to get down and do it manually, this takes time and affects turnaround time," he said.
Mavhima said NRZ had also invested $2 million in communications systems after most of their communications infrastructure went down.
"This investment has helped in terms to reduced accidents, derailments and turnaround time, but $50m is needed to cover the whole system," he said.
In his 2017 National Budget, Finance minister Patrick Chinamasa said government would continue to scout for a strategic partner for NRZ, despite the fact that a comprehensive capitalisation programme for the parastatal has remained elusive.
He said an allocation of $3 million had been set aside for the rehabilitation of locomotives and wagons, track infrastructure as well as procurement of workshop equipment.

This week we have a great story of success from Drayper - it's been a few weeks since I received this submission so I'm betting he's gone beyond his latest target by now!
If you'd like to submit your own gold making Milestone Interview, instructions & more details are on my Milestone Interviews page. Any milestone is suitable - whether it be 100k or 10 million, we want to hear about YOUR story. Don't be shy! You've seen what others are sending in over the last couple of months so come on - tell us how you've been doing it! Don't make me persuade you too! lol
About me
Hello, I go by Drayper in-game on US-Dalaran. I have been playing since July of 2013. I played a few years back pretty seriously on Alexstrasza, but quit right before WotLK released. I have since started out brand new with no help from friends or guilds. My wife and myself play together in our own personal guild just bankin' that gold!
What is your milestone amount?
My first milestone was 10k, I worked hard and it came easily within my first few weeks of playing. So I would'nt be tempted to spend, I set my next milestone for 50k which wasn't as hard as I thought it would be looking back now. I set my next milestone for 100k, which came really fast to my surprise due to the fact that I had a good couple of weeks in sales. I just reached 200k the first week of October and I think for the amount of time I put into strictly making gold versus playing the game and taking into consideration the short time I've been playing, that impresses me and I am proud of my gold stash.
What got you started making gold and when?
Honestly, a few days after I started playing I told myself I wanted to have enough gold to buy whatever I want. Although that isn't a definable amount, I proceeded to do my homework to get started on my goal. After nearly 4 years of not playing and 3 expansions later, I had some catching up to do. I did some research on new gold making tactics, weeded out ones I didn't want to work with or couldn't yet and set myself up with some helpful addons.
Which markets have you concentrated on, if any?
You can call me a flipper... I'll flip anything I believe I can profit on. In my early levels I started my bank by farming and selling resources, mainly ore. Once I had money to spend I started to invest. Invest in what...?
I started out in transmog gear. Being a noob to MoP, I barely knew what it was or why these pieces were considered so valuable. After further research I understood, and that was almost my main source of income to my 10k milestone. I started to delve a little deeper into more and more pieces with less luck than I'd hoped for. I then came across transmuting Saronite Ore into Titanium Bars and made a good profit that way. I just farmed the Saronite in Icecrown which with no competition is very fast. After a few more weeks of trying to sell off my stash of transmog greens, I finally had gotten rid of most of them and stumbled upon MoP blues for levels 80 - 85.
Once I found this "hidden" niche, I pretty much cast out all attempts to stay in the transmog market (except the more rare and valuable items).I invested completely into these MoP blues that many players toss in the auction house for 50 - 250g not knowing their full potential. I time and time again, sell level 81-84 items for 1500 - 3000g depending on the slot and item. Belts, bracers, feet, rings, and back don't tend to sell for as much as other slots from my experience.
Level 80 ilvl 409 rares are outrageously overpowered to any level 80 and some players decide to "Twink" there. Ilvl 409 weapons generally range from 5-10k depending on the item and buyer, other 409 pieces will bring 2500g+. Level 85 ilvl 450 items will also bring a bit more than the lvl 81-84's but not quite as much as the ilvl 409 weapons for any slot in the 450 category.
Long, most likely confusing, but it works for me and I know this market very well on my server and I generally don't have competition besides the players who get a drop and see what I have mine priced at in AH then undercut me by 1g... I have weeks where I'll make 10k and some I make 50k, like my last week!
Biggest successes or biggest failures
Strictly talking flipping, my biggest successes would be a few things I'll list here:
Sealed Tome of the Lost Legion x 2 - Paid 50g ea - Sold 6k ea
A few ilvl 409 MoP rare weapons - Paid < 500g ea - Sold 7.5k ea
A couple pending sales I have:
Plans: Dirge - Paid 25g - Worth 15-25k
Skullflame Shield - Paid 200g - Worth 20k+
Heaving plates of Protection - Paid 250g - Worth 15k
Biggest Failure would be these two [The Night Blade]'s that I have. Paid 500g for one posted it up for 10k, soon after someone posted one for 2k and I had been doing well so far so I gambled and bought it. Had them both for like two and a half months and dropped the price to 5k ea and still no buyers lol. Mainly a transmog item nowadays so I still have them for sale needless to say. Anyone want to buy them...?
Advice for new goldmakers
Don't get all excited about some new gold making strategy you just read about and dump all of your funds into it right away. Do your research, test the market (competitor's, demand, realm population and trends), and then once you are more comfortable with the market you can decide whether it's worth the investment/effort. Every realm is slightly different than the other so your results will differ slightly.
Just looking at all the glyphs and inscription items in AH, I told myself right away I would not touch that market based on the amount of effort it would take with competitors etc. I feel I can make better gold, faster and easier in other ways. Choose whats right for you. There is money to be made everywhere.
I feel your gold making strategies and decisions are heavily based on your play style and time available. I myself wanted to find a market where I could post an item, let it sit, go back to playing and not care about it anymore until it expired or sold. I like to spend my time productively progressing in the game rather than solely making gold. I think I've learned my markets well enough to be able to do both very well.
I use a few great addons for helping me specifically in my gold making endeavors. After using them, I would hate to play without them, but they are not necessary, mainly preference.
I would recommend these addons:
Auctioneer - A must have for me! Makes posting auctions a breeze and very easy to use. Also has a separate "Search" tab with many different search filters (the "resale" filter is a great way to find these great deals).
Accountant - Keeps track of gold flow. In/out and what categories it went to or came from.
TSM Accounting - A nice addon to keep track of sales. Has detailed info about every item you buy/sell. Great addon!
I know a ton of big time gold makers say TSM Auctioning is an essential addon. I personally do not use it because I feel that my market isn't one where I'm mass posting gems, ores, glyphs, herbs etc. I am posting mostly one of a certain item due to its rarity and Auctioneer works perfectly in that manner.
What's your new goal, if any?
My new goal is to hit 500k in the near future. I have a long run goal to break 1 million.
Reward yourself for reaching goal?
I have yet to reward myself with a "big" purchase. I plan to reward myself by making a Ruby Panther with my Jewelcrafter here soon, maybe once I pass 250k!
I'm just glad I set myself in a gold making mindset right off the bat this go around. I know my market has risk but I dont get scared and just bail out on a certain item to break even. I stick it out and I think thats where a lot of people go wrong, they just get scared to easily too soon. Obviously it takes gold to make gold, and Im not afraid to make those investments.
What a great interview CJ, thank you! Full of useful & interesting bits to keep us thinking. And that's what gold making is about, isn't it? I've often said that the best add-on a goldmaker can use is his/her brain - you can look at numbers, screens full of information, websites etc but unless your brain is switched on, it won't make a blind bit of difference.
I know when I'm coasting, my sales figures drop and that jolts me awake again, especially as I post my results weekly and you guys can all see me being lazy too! I'll warn you now though - I've had a hellish busy week so Monday's report isn't looking very pretty either! Oh and I'm still addicted to Hearthstone too!

'911' Recruits Jennifer Love Hewitt as Season 2 Regular
Jennifer Love Hewitt has answered Fox's 911 call.
The actress has joined the cast as a regular for season two of the Tim Minear-led Fox procedural about first responders.
Hewitt will play Maddie, the sister of firefighter Evan "Buck" Buckley (Oliver Stark), who is starting her life over as a 911 operator on the drama. Hewitt will help fill the void created by star Connie Britton, who will not be returning as a series regular. Britton, who also portrayed a 911 operator, had a one-year deal on the drama from exec producer Ryan Murphy and 20th Century Fox Television and could return in a guest role. A formal decision on Britton's potential return has not yet been determined.
The 911 role marks Hewitt's first series regular role since exiting CBS' Criminal Minds after a one-season turn in season 11. The casting brings her back to the Fox family after she starred in the network's Party of Five and led its spinoff, Time of Your Life. Her previous regular roles include The Client List and The Ghost Whisperer, among others. On the film side, her résumé includes I Know What You Did Last Summer, The Tuxedo and Heartbreakers. She's repped by Gersh, Untitled Entertainment and Hirsch Wallerstein.
911, which scored an early season two renewal in January, was co-created by Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Minear. Angela Bassett, Peter Krause, Stark, Aisha Hinds, Kenneth Choi and Rockmond Dunbar co-star.
Britton, meanwhile, will next star in Bravo's Dirty John anthology.
911 returns in the fall Mondays.

Kerala is as much known for its historical heritage as for its scenic beauty. It witnessed many foreign invasions over the years and has a host of forts and palaces. They have a fusion of traditional Kerala and foreign styles of architecture.
Each of these forts has a different story to tell and these stories are etched on the walls in murals and other artistic forms. These forts are mostly located at captivating places making it even more compelling for tourists and scholars.
01)Palghat Fort
A well preserved fort of 18th century, it was built by Hyder Ali of Mysore. It's a protected monument under Archaeological Survey of India. The legendary Tipu Sultan, son of Hyder Ali, popularly known as the 'Lion of Mysore' fought many wars against the British and eventually lost his life in an encounter with the British. This fort is called as Tipu's Fort and reminds the tales of courage and valour.
02)Bakel Fort
It is one of the 5 centres selected by the Government of India to be developed into a Special Tourism Area. It's an International tourist destination today and a sought after shooting location for filmmakers. Built by Shivaappa Naik of Ikkeri Dynasty in 1650, it offers a fantastic view of Arabian Sea from its tall observation towers. It's the largest, well preserved fort in Kasaragod and is surrounded by a splendid beach.
03)Fort Kochi
Famed for the Chinese Fishing Nets, Jewish Synagogue, Dutch Palace, Portuguese and British architecture, Fort Kochi was the first European trade township in Indian history. Portuguese built the first European Fort – Fort Immanuel here.
The Dutch wrested it from them and made it a rich commercial centre, major military base, illustrious cultural hub, noted ship building yard and an age-old centre for Christianity. One can still see the splendid Indo- European architecture here. It has remained as the trade centre for spices and tea, over the years.
04)Pallipuram Fort
Situated at Vypeen Island in Ernakulam, it's the oldest European Fort in India. Built by the Portuguese in 1503, it's a prime tourist destination and a protected monument of the Archaeological Department. People visit this fort to admire its beauty. There is a catholic church nearby which is an important pilgrim centre.
05)St. Angelo Fort
This massive triangular fort is also known as the Kannur Fort. Built in 1505 by the first Portuguese Viceroy, it's a protected monument under the Archaeological Survey of India. It offers a fascinating view of Moppila Bay( a natural fishing bay and a modern fishing harbour) and the Dharmadom Island, 100 metres away from the mainland in Arabian Sea.
06)Kunchan Smarakam Fort
30 kms from Palakkad, it's not a usual historical monument. It's a memorial in tribute to the great poet of Malayalam literature Sri Kunchan Nambiar, who introduced "ottenthullal" in the 18th century. He was a satirist with deep sense of responsibility, wit and humour. The fort is a true inspiration for all lovers of satire. Every year the poet's birthday and navarathri are celebrated here with much fanfare.
07)Thalasseri Fort
22 kms from Kannur, it was built by the East India Company in 1708 as a testimonial for the colonial imperialism. It was a British Military centre and assumes much historical significance. It has a mystical ambience and has a lighthouse, cemetery, church and a collector's mansion. It is believed that it has a secret tunnel that opens into the sea through which inhabitants escaped in cases of emergency.
08)Chandragiri Fort
This 17th century fort in Kasaragod is bordered by the beautiful Chandragiri River. It has 2 sides facing the sea and 8 view towers. The view of sea, sunset and the river is just unforgettable. One can take a boat ride to the nearby islands and palm groves. It's a protected fort under the State Archaeological Department.
09)East Fort
Situated in Thiruvananthapuram, it's built around the Sree Padmanabha Swami temple. Completed in 1787, it has 4 gateways: kizhakke kotta(east fort), padinjare kotta(west fort), thekke kotta(south fort) and vadakke kotta(north fort). There are many palaces inside like ananthavilasam palace, krishnavilasam palace, sree padam kottaram, saraswathivilasam, sundaravilasam and kuthiramalika( which is a museum at present). It was declared a heritage site by the Government and is a protected monument under the Archaeological Department.
10)Chendamangalam Fort
This 450 year old fort in Ernakulam is one of the oldest in India. It has valuable historical documents and relics on display. It has beautiful surroundings: hills, 3 rivers, a temple, church, mosque and a jewish synagogue- a standing testimony to national integration.
11)Cranganore Fort
Located in Thrissur, it is also known as Kodungallur Fort. Built by the Portuguese in 1523 it changed many hands. Known also as Tipu's Fort, Archaeological Department of Travancore took a pillar from this fort and preserved it as a public property.
12)Arakkal Palace and Kannur Fort
Standing in close proximity to each other, they remind the glory of the ancient and medieval times. Arakkal Palace is the only Muslim royal residence in Kerala. It is known for its grandeur of architecture. It was converted into a museum in 2005. It is preserved by the Archaeological Department and Kerala Tourism.

The City of Boynton Beach Art in Public Places presents the 2019-2020 exhibit: Color Effects with artist Cecilia Lueza. The year-long exhibit featuring five colorful geometric sculptures that capture the dynamic effects of nature and resilience of the community.
Cecilia's work is a personal expression of her lifelong fascination with the visual effects of color, light, shadow, negative spaces, and the concepts of space, movement, and transition. Utilizing her expressionistic style, she incorporates the recurrent and unrestrained application of the degraded primary colors that make up her palette. Her designs act to promote community values, enhance our environment, transform the landscape, increase our awareness and question our assumptions.
The large-scale sculptures are integrated into the urban landscapes of downtown Boynton Beach, creating inspiration to residents, businesses and visitors.
Free docent-led tours of the 5 sculptures include an Otocast app that connects the artist to the viewer. Following the tour, free discounts and special deals (from the business sponsors below) will be given to tour attendees who RSVP in advance.

We're getting close to the end of "Star Wars Rebels" season 3, and now we know what to expect from the final five episodes, as the titles and descriptions for them have now been revealed!
The guys over at Jedi-Bibliothek have once again revealed the titles and descriptions for these episodes, via The Star Wars Underworld, and you can check out them out below:
3×18 "Secret Cargo" – 3/04/2017When a routine refueling mission goes wrong, the Ghost crew find themselves transporting an important rebel leader across the galaxy, pursued by Imperial warships.
3×19 "Double Agent Droid" – 3/11/2017Chopper and AP-5 team up to infiltrate an Imperial station to steal needed codes, but an Imperial specialist turns the droids against the crew to cause chaos.
3×20 "Twin Suns" – 3/18/2017Reacting to a vision of Maul, Ezra defies Hera and Kanan to travel to a remote planet in hopes of stopping the former Sith lord from carrying out his plans.
3×21 – "Zero Hour – Part One" – 3/25/2017In final preparations for their attack on Lothal, Phoenix Squadron's plans are disrupted when Grand Admiral Thrawn discovers their location.
3×22 "Zero Hour- Part Two" – 3/25/2017Trapped on Atollon with the rebel base under siege, Hera and Kanan fight to keep the squadron alive, as Ezra attempts to rally help from an unexpected source.
Obviously the episode that just jumps out at you is "Twin Suns," as it would leave you to believe that that will be the episode we will see the long awaited rematch between Obi Wan and Maul, but what is surprising is that the episode will not be the season finale. But it is possible that "Twin Suns" will be the starting point of a three episode arc that will lead and continue into the two-part finale "Zero Hour."
There is much to speculate on with those last three episodes while we're still in the middle of a hiatus, but thankfully that hiatus wont be much longer, as the final run of episodes for "Star Wars Rebels" kicks off next week on February 18th!

Long Acting Med for Schizophrenia Symptoms Recommended
It may come as a surprise to many that the symptoms of schizophrenia can be managed by medication allowing a person to live a productive life.
The challenge, however, is that people must take the prescribed antipsychotic medication — typically a pill — on a daily basis. The problem is that many people don't continue taking their medication once their symptoms improve.
Now, a University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) study has found that people who took a long-acting injectable form of risperidone — one given every two weeks — had a substantially lower risk for the symptoms returning than people who took the daily medication as a pill.
The finding is salient as schizophrenia, which affects two million to tree million people in the U.S., causes hallucinations, delusions, and disorganization. Left untreated, the disease can cause a significant loss in quality of life, including unemployment and estrangement from loved ones.
The study, which appears in the journal JAMA Psychiatry, concluded that doctors should consider prescribing the long-lasting injectable medication much earlier in the course of treatment than they typically do today.
"We know that not taking antipsychotic medication is the single greatest modifiable risk factor for psychotic symptoms returning," said Kenneth Subotnik, an adjunct professor of psychiatry and the study's first author, adding that patients who have only recently developed the disease are especially susceptible to not taking their medication daily.
Although long-acting medications have been around since the 1970s, most previous studies have focused on patients who had experienced schizophrenia for many years. In those patients, the long-acting medications were not always a better alternative. The UCLA study focused specifically on patients who had recently developed the disorder.
"Individuals with a single episode of schizophrenia who have responded well to antipsychotic medication, even if they do understand they have a mental disorder, very often doubt whether medication continues to be necessary," said Keith Nuechterlein, a UCLA professor of psychiatry and senior author of the study.
In the study, researchers followed 83 people recently diagnosed with schizophrenia for a one-year period. Half were given the daily oral form of risperidone and the others were given the long-acting injectable form. All interventions were given as part of the UCLA Aftercare Research Program.
The researchers found that patients taking the injectable medicine were much more likely to stick with their treatment than patients taking the oral form, and that the injectable did a better job of controlling psychotic symptoms. During the 12-month period, just five percent of those taking the injectable medication had their psychotic symptoms return, versus 33 percent of those taking the pill.
In addition, Subotnik said, the benefits appear to be greater than when given after individuals have had the disorder for many years, which indicates that the long-acting injectable should be offered to patients earlier in the course of schizophrenia.
Subotnik said another benefit of the injectable is that — because it's administered at a doctor's office rather than taken at home — doctors can more easily track whether patients are regularly taking the medication.
"Because of that, we had nearly perfect adherence to the long-acting form of risperidone," he said.
Analyzing the same group of people, the researchers also found that consistent adherence to antipsychotic medication led to improvements in the patients' cognitive functioning, Nuechterlein said. And in a 2012 study led by the late George Bartzokis, a UCLA professor of psychiatry, MRI scans of some of these participants found physical benefits from taking the long-acting medication.
Specifically, Bartzokis found evidence that the long lasting medications increased the amount of brain myelin, the coating on nerve fibers which, like insulation around a wire, improves communication between nerve cells. Myelination often decreases in people with schizophrenia, which leads to impairments in brain function and cognition.
Nuechterlein said the next stage of the research will be examining whether there are additional benefits of a long-acting injectable antipsychotic medication, and if it is just as effective if given only once a month instead of every two weeks.

Product Description
Weddings in winters are dreamy and unique. Many people who want to have an outdoor wedding don't wish to get married in winter. But then there is something cozy and magical about the winter weddings. Getting married in snowy and cold months requires too much of planning especially for brides.
Do you like to wear winter boots, heels or cozy booties? Should you wear fur stole or long sleeved dress? What type of hairstyle would go with a win-ter wedding dress and look? Planning your overall wedding style for a win-ter wedding is a whole different story. Moncoeur Boutique can help you pick perfect bridal accessories for your winter wedding. While the wedding date might be still a couple of months away, you would want your wedding look to be finalised and nailed down before time is near.
The Dress
The best part of the winter wedding is that you don't have to worry about the dress. In case you have planned for a strapless dress, adding a fur coat will not only make you warm but will also look gorgeous. You can pick any wedding dress and add a shawl or fur stole to keep warm at night. A full sleeve dress with lace can also look uniquely gorgeous for the winter wed-ding.
The beauty or elegance of a long-sleeved dress will make you look like a winter queen. Another option is to wear a ball gown. The extravagant skirt will add the wonderland theme look for your winter wedding. Don't forget to add warm shoes and gloves to match the final wedding dress.
The Makeup
Depending on what dress you choose for your wedding, your make up may differ. In case you want to go for a bold statement and wish to stand out against your white snow dress, opt for darker makeup to create a perfect look.
Wear deep colours like burgundy, light maroon with smokey eyes and dark mascara to create a double tone look. However, if you want to go for the softer look and more winter based, natural coloured lipstick or light pink, soft peach eye make could be everything you would like to have.
The Hair
Finally the hair, the essential part of your bridal look. You can twist, curl, or braid your hair and add a beautiful head accessory to your bridal look.

Reduce wet wipes and cotton wool use with these alternatives for removing make upAdd article to favourites
Over on Twitter, Rachael asked about alternatives for cotton wool and wet wipes when removing makeup.
And the answers from the Zero Waste community came flooding in!
Here's Rachael's original tweet:
@myzerowaste Any ideas for reusable alternatives to cotton wool /wet wipes for removing makeup?
— Rachael Hodgetts (@RachaelHodgetts) January 2, 2015
There must be something in the air because the following week I had an email from Fiona who asked:
"Do you have any ideas for waste free make-up removal?"
Here are some of the suggestions:
Although some people said flannels weren't terribly soft, others were advocates of the old fashioned soap (bought naked or in a cardboard box without plastic) and flannel idea.
Recycled fleece cloth
Emma favours recycled fleece cloth for removing make up. She buys fleece from her local scrapstore and cuts it up into small squares.
Use your hands!
I have to admit, I don't use a 'thing' to wash my face; I use my hands!
Konjac sponge
A new one to me but a konjac sponge is vegan, as it's obtained from a plant, and will last 2 or 3 months after which you can compost it!
Mary suggested old fashioned hankies. These are soft and thin, so perfect for the face!
Muslin cloths
Laura suggested muslin cloths, like the ones Ikea sell for babies; chopped into smaller squares.
Washable cotton wool pads
If you're into crafts, these crochet washable pads are for you. Here is the tutorial to make your own.
What about the actual remover?
Well I use olive oil from the kitchen cupboard! It comes in glass bottles which I can recycle and you only need a couple of drops. Using oil might seem counter-intuitive to some but I love it because you don't need moisturiser afterwards.
You can buy Rhassoul clay in paper bags or a cardboard tube from Sally at Natural Spa Supplies. You just rehydrate the clay with water and rub it into the face to remove makeup. A little goes a long way and I seldom need moisturised afterwards because it doesn't dry out my skin.
Coconut oil
There seems to be a bit coconut oil movement at the moment! You can use this product in a myriad of ways from cleansing your face to conditioning your hair. Buy it in glass jars which you can reuse or recycle.
I'd love to hear your suggestions.
Are you using an alternative to disposable cotton wool or make up wipes to cleanse your face? And what product do you use for the actual cleansing?

Dylan McIlrath's NHL debut covered 8:55. McIlrath, who led the AHL in penalty minutes with 115, didn't drop the gloves, although he would have been called for a penalty for a high stick on Boone Jenner when he was caught up ice, leading to a three-on-one rush on Artem Anisimov's goal that made it 2-0.
"I tried to keep it simple as best as I could," said the 6-5 defenseman. "I know I made a rookie mistake there on that pinch that cost us a goal. Other than that, I can't complain about my first game too much."
McIlrath, 21, a first-round pick in 2010 who played on the third pair with John Moore, needed time to calm down. "I had to get my nerves under control," he said. "Once I settled down, I thought in the second and third periods I started making better reads."
His best chance to score came on a shot from the right point that struck Brian Boyle and deflected wide.
"He definitely brings size and physicality," coach Alain Vigneault said after McIlrath was summoned from Hartford because Marc Staal is recovering from a concussion. "Hopefully he can do it on this level."
Blue notes
Brad Richards had nine shots but was a minus-3, including a bad read that led to the first goal. "Seventy-five to 80 percent of the time, the team that scores the first goal usually wins," Vigneault said. "We worked on making sure we have a high forward [defensively] in all situations. One of our most experienced players sneaks in and sees something that obviously I don't see and they make it a three-on-two and make us pay for it."
Boyle won 10 of 11 faceoffs and Dominic Moore went 7-for-7 . . . Former Blue Jacket Derick Brassard, who has a lower-body injury that is hindering his skating, was scratched. With Calgary in Sunday, the Rangers hope to brake the skid. "Being home for nine in a row was a chance for us to really propel us up the standings," Dan Girardi said. "Hopefully we can figure out how to salvage the rest of the homestand and get back to .500 or better."
