Oct. 18, 2002 -- It may sound fishy, but researchers say taking a daily fish-oil supplement may boost the effectiveness -- or even replace -- antidepressants for treating depression in some people.

In a new study, people who added a daily dose of omega-3 fatty acids to their regular antidepressant treatment had significant improvement in symptoms, including anxiety, sleeping problems, sadness, decreased sexual desire, and suicidal tendencies.

Although there are many effective treatments for depression, most only work in a limited number of patients or have significant side effects that prompt users to stop taking them. That's inspired researchers to look for new ways to treat the mental illness or increase the effectiveness of existing treatments.

1 gram works, 2 doesn't, 4 works great? Clearly some randomness in there, so this isn't confirmed, but still interesting.

When does After Effects save out vector objects?

There are four cases where AE saves out elements as vector objects:

1) Solid layers with Masks
2) Illustrator files (without gradients)
3) The Path Text plug-in
4) The Audio Spectrum and Waveform filters

Tips on generating Flash from After Effects, for all your technical animation for the web needs.

Nice javascript that converts regular tables to sortable tables.

The song, 'Halcyon and On and On' is a favorite of mine, even if I'm not that into Orbital. This album, In Sides, has a 1996 live version that sounds very much like the live version that rocked my numskull in 1996? 97? at the Masquerade in Atlanta, with Bon Jovi popping in out of nowhere and then through a few pop songs before back to Halcyon. Nice.

Funny movie about an Indian call center.

CALL CENTER MOVIE

In this discussion, we will look at experimental source code for programmatically performing the following operations on a MacBook Pro.

* Retrieving readings from the ambient light sensor
* Retrieving and setting the LED brightness value of the backlit keyboard
* Initiating an LED fade to a target brightness value over a specified duration
* Retrieving and setting a display's brightness

This guy is cool, but he doesn't allow any redistribution of his code without permission.
