Psychiatric Drug Use by Children Reviewed By The FDA:
“There is no question we need to do long-term clinicaltrials with kids and psychiatric drugs.” He said the companies, the FDA, and the NIMH should pool their money and establish those trials.
Interesting article on the current state of psychotropic medications used to treat AD/HD, Depression, and Anxiety and their efficacy with and effects on children.

Boca grad student creates natural study focus pill:
Spanish River High School alumnus Justin Hertzberg wanted a natural alternative to the prescription drugs that his college peers used — often illegally — as study aids.
So the 25-year-old University of Miami graduate student teamed up with friend Jason Neufeld to create a nonprescription pill that they say increases concentration with natural ingredients such as green tea, guarana, caffeine and vitamin B.

Word. This is awesome. And they even have a mac version…
(I wonder if I could turn off this thing at the bottom though… (not that I’d want to))
(ooh they use CSS for the formatting…)
my previous post on 3rd party blogging clients in which I recommended MTClient, which is now easily superseded by the effortlessness of Qumana…
AND it even links the posts to their archive (permalinked) pages!!!

[edit: you can turn off the Qumana credit-thing... // The paragraph formatting is making things look weird on here... though that is configurable. Part is perhaps due to the textile plugin I've got on here, which I can't decide whether to disable or what. Since I never actually use the textile syntax. Then there's Markdown by Dean Allen. Meh. I wish I could specify on a post-by-post basis (and this was accessible via my blogging clients--or at least wordpress was smart enough to decide whether to use the syntax based on where the post was coming from) like the "auto line-break" feature is in movable type. [(I'll link everything up later...)]
edit: OK. Well, it was a nice try at least. I have now given up Qumana until they release a decently abled version. WYSIWYG was nice, except when it didn’t WORK. (You can’t select anything unless you’re in source mode… among other things. Gets frustrating quite quickly.)
Conservative think tank launches climate-skeptic TV ads:
“Carbon dioxide: They call it pollution; we call it life.” Nope, not a story in The Onion. That’s the punch line of two TV ads that the industry-funded Competitive Enterprise Institute began airing in 14 U.S. cities yesterday, timed to correspond with the big-screen debut of Al Gore’s climate-change movie …
I’m… Speechless. Hooray for politicizing science. Ya arseholes.

Well, I’m very proud of myself… after having downloaded the source code for gdbm (needed to build the Rhyming Dictionary, @freshmeat), I received an error during installation:
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 -o bin -g bin gdbm.h \
/usr/local/include/gdbm.h
install: bin: Invalid argument
make: *** [install] Error 67
So a quick look inside the makefile and some fiddling around later, I got everything working! All you have to do is change the BINOWN and BINGRP values from bin to the following:
# File ownership and group
BINOWN = root
BINGRP = wheel
Works like a charm!
Yayyyy!
Now time to install the rest of the dictionary…
Alright, problem number 2 came when doing “make install” for the rhyming dictionary itself:
install –mode=755 rhyme /usr/local/bin
install: illegal option — -
Is this just the result of Rhyme not using autoconf? Anyways, I went into the makefile and edited the lines under “install: all” from install –mode=755 rhyme $(BINPATH) to install -m 755 rhyme $(BINPATH)
Worked again! I’m on a rollll!
People in my office chuckled a little last week when I told them I had the current winning bid for an old German u-boat that was being hawked on Ebay.
It was a really good deal, $7,000 for some still seaworthy rust bucket that smelled like 27 trolls had filmed 200 porno movies in there. The engine was still in fine shape, and it fired up right away when I pushed the ignition switch. The owner even let me take a test drive of it (since it was moored conveniently close, on Mare Island). A few lessons in sightless navigation later, and we were puttering around the bay at a whopping 12 knots. Despite the post-sex troll stench, I was hooked. Hell, whenever it stops raining out here, I thought, I can at least recoup my investment by donating it to some war museum or another.

Hehe… Read on
