A U.K.
psychologist has developed a complex mathematical formula using seven
variables to predict winter's emotional low point. The good news is
the worst day of the year was last week; nonetheless, seasonal
depression remains a problem for many. The first link (1) is to an
article about the equation worked out by Dr. Cliff Arnall, who
specializes in seasonal disorders at the University of Cardiff, Wales.
The second link is to a WebMD page (2) about winter depression, often
referred to as Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). The next link (3) is
to a recent news story about the results of a five-year study that
found, rather than antidepressant drug therapy or air ionizers, light
box therapy is the best remedy for the seasonal condition. The fourth
link is to a set of Frequently Asked Questions (4) about SAD offered
by Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center in New York City. The fifth
link, to the Winter Depression Research Group at the University of
Tromso in Norway(5), explains why Norway is a natural SAD research
laboratory. The next link is to a international portal site (6)
maintained by medical professionals and researchers in the field of
light therapy and biological rhythms. The final webpage(7), from
Psychology Today, compares the symptoms of winter depression with
summer depression.[From The NSDL Scout Report for the Life Sciences,

Depression and The Beauty that Remains
Depression and The Beauty that Remains
01/23/2004 06:33 PMOver the last several days, there has been an extraordinary bloom of
sweet commentary pursuant to my last three posts regarding the
departure of Spalding Gray. Your eloquence, humor, and, above all,
your honesty are proof to me that he is alive and, indeed, becoming
more so in your hearts. You are his witnesses. What you've said here
is all the evidence one needs that Spalding planted something
beautiful, if a little goofy, in this world that will continue to
blossom even without his being here to tend it. I am particularly
grateful to the many who've openly discussed their own battles with
depression, the most insidious enemy there can be. Fighting clinical
depression is an inevitably lonely struggle. What could be less
conducive to compassion than a disease that make you whine? Laymen and
loved ones tell you to get a grip. They make you feel ashamed to be
sick. Even if they're more enlightened about the disease, they can't
help but harbor a secret, naturally human, belief that you are
suffering a failure of will rather than biochemistry. Meanwhile, the
doctors consider little but the neuro-soup and turn you into a
shambling medical experiment, testing pharmaceutical nostrums on you
that are as blunt as the mind is subtle, though just as unpredictable.
Meanwhile, your cold world trudges on. It remains, despite all visible
signs of well-being - wonderful spouse, great kids, well-located
house, whatever - a purgatory of uselessness, barren of joy and
meaning. Love, incoming or out-going, becomes something you think, not
feel. I am very grateful that this has provided a forum where some of
you feel free to speak of this affliction, which is too often suffered
in a terrible silence. I am also very grateful for the personal tales
you've told about your encounters with him, real and virtual, and how
he affected your lives. Your comments are ample evidence that he was a
good teacher. I fear that his children, and in particular his
marvelous young sons, Forrest and Theo, will remember little of who he
really was and what he really did. Worse, I suspect that much of what
will remain as the memory of their father will be shadowed by who he
became after depression closed its ghostly fist around his light. To
the goal that they might re-remember him for them through our tales, I
want to make a little book of your comments following the last three
posts and give it to them. If any of you object to being included, and
I hope none of you will, please let me know. They are better than the
flowers one might send otherwise....

Depression-era anti-Bush movie
Depression-era anti-Bush movie
07/20/2004 04:33 PM
Greg sez, "The expanded version of the fully-animated commercial my
frind Tom and I created for MoveOn.org's 'Bush in 30 Seconds' contest
is now online. Originally planned to be only a couple minutes long,
the full length version is now a seven minute look at the hard times
living under Bush's economy. The completed short is an appropriate
juxtaposition of Bush's economy with a depression-era style that I
think is appropriate when describing the first presidency since Hoover
to preside over a job loss." This is an amazing piece of work.

The most interactive
laser tag systems to date simply vibrate when shot, but stop short of
inflicting any real pain. Herein lies their fatal flaw, and Gadget
Shop has set out to fix this error with their Shocking Guns—a
laser tag set that shocks the user when shot by an opponent. It offers
two degrees of shock power and "may interfere with electrical devices
such as pacemakers," if that weren't already obvious. Each $45 kit
comes with two guns and two breastplates, as well as the six AAA
batteries required for them.

they had the means to deliver them to East Coast cities.
If this is true, is he in trouble for saying it?

features this lovely quote from Sanjay Shirole, CEO of one of the

"There's no electro
shock--yet," Xora CEO Sanjay Shirole said.
Ha ha, nice one, Sanjay! The only thing classier than creating a
technology that will eventually be used to tie workers into virtual
corrals - I'm not joking, it's in the article; called "geofences" - is
to make a joke about using the system to abuse workers. Hilarious! Now
that you've cracked wise about it, Sanjay, we can certainly rule out
any possibility of it ever happening in the future.

Stanley Milgram's shocking new biography
Stanley Milgram's shocking new biography
06/14/2004 11:40 AMThe Man Who Shocked The World is a new biography about
Stanley Milgram, the provocative social psychologist whose
mind-blowing experiments three decades ago are still highly relevant
in today's world of Abu Ghraib and Friendster. From the Milgram Web
site, hosted by the book's author, Dr. Thomas Blass:
"Controversy
surrounded Stanley Milgram for much of his professional life as a
result of a series of experiments on obedience to authority which he
conducted at Yale University in 1961-1962. He found, surprisingly,
that 65% of his subjects, ordinary residents of New Haven, were
willing to give apparently harmful electric shocks-up to 450 volts-to
a pitifully protesting victim, simply because a scientific authority
commanded them to, and in spite of the fact that the victim did not do
anything to deserve such punishment. The victim was, in reality, a
good actor who did not actually receive shocks, and this fact was
revealed to the subjects at the end of the experiment. But, during the
experiment itself, the experience was a powerfully real and gripping
one for most participants.
Milgram's career also produced many other creative, though less
controversial, experiments; such as, the small-world method (the
source of 'Six Degrees of Separation'), the lost-letter technique, and
an experiment testing the effects of televised antisocial behavior
which, though conducted 30 years ago, remains unique to the present
day."

The 2003 OCLC Environmental Scan suggests that, paradoxically,
a worthy goal of the library might be "invisibility" -- in the sense
that the service is ubiquitous and fully integrated into the
infosphere. "After all, technology and services are most welcome in
our lives when we do not have to devote much thought to them. We press
a switch and light comes or goes. Expecting the information consumer
to pay attention to the differences between William Shakespeare the
author and William Shakespeare the subject as search terms is akin to
expecting Joe Householder to know if the red wire or the black wire
should be grounded before he plugs the lamp in -- and expect Joe to go
to RedWire.com to figure out what happens if he's wrong. Thankfully,
clever people have hidden all this technology inside a box and
millions are saved from a shocking experience."
