Students Share Their High School's Biggest Tragedy
High school can leave an indelible mark on our lives, for better and for worse, which inspired today's burning question from Redditor onionslut, who asked the online community: "What was your high school's tragedy?"
"There was a girl in the year above me..."
There was a girl in the year above me. She was raped and murdered during school hours. She finished her exam and had one more before graduating and decided to take a walk in the forest as it was a hot day. The guy spotted her and bludgeoned her to death.

"A boy had a birthday..."
A boy had a birthday, and his friends dad was a pilot and offered to take him and his friends (3 kids total) flying through the mountains. They left and never came back.
It took search and rescue about 3 days to find them. Everyone hoped that they had just had to make an emergency landing and we're still alive. The plane had crashed, all 3 kids and the dad were dead.
Engine had suffered some sort of catastrophic failure, and he couldn't level the plane out in time.
Our entire school was so tense waiting for news. It came during my lunch period. (There were 2 lunch periods for different grades). The kids were pretty popular, and they had siblings at the school too. The teachers got the news and then shared it with students. I remember seeing kids bursting out of classrooms in tears. No class did anything for the rest of the day, and most of the rest of the week.

"We had a secretary..."
We had a secretary that everybody loved. She knew almost everyone's name. She got cancer. She defeated it and fell pregnant. When the cancer came back, she had to decide whether she wanted to keep the child or abort and do the cancer treatment. She chose to keep the baby and died 3 months after giving birth.
The school organised busses and excused students from lessons, so everyone was able to go to her funeral. There were so many people there, we didn't fit into the building and there weren't enough candles to light.
She was such a nice and cheerful person and supported me through some really hard times. I still cry when I think about her being gone.

"Our middle school principal..."
Our middle school principal had only been working with our school for a year but everyone absolutely loved him. And when I say that, I mean we all adored him. He had just arrived after a real hardass guy who not only was no nonsense but was also just mean. But anyways, this guy was the nicest dude and cared about everyone.
There were these few boys in my grade who were notorious trouble makers and instead of yelling at them and being mean or anything like that, this principal treated them like human beings and tried to get to the root of the problem. He looked at them as the children they were and recognized that these boys each came from really hard home lives and that's why they were acting out. So instead of giving them the usual disciplines during their detentions or suspensions, the principal would assign them household chore-like stuff. He also would sit down with them and make sure they were getting their homework done yet also having a father figure to play basketball with.
In the mornings before the bell rang for class, he would be out there with the entire middle school (small school, granted) and be chatting away. He took the time to get to know every single student and make sure all of our needs were being met. Unfortunately, at the end of his first year at our school, he was diagnosed with a terminal brain tumor and was forced to resign. He is always remembered for his cheesy but lovable saying "Work Hard, Have Fun, Be Nice" and the impact transcends his time there. He sadly passed away in 2016.
RIP Mr. Driscoll , thank you for all you did.

"Back in high school we knew this girl..."
Back in high school we knew this girl, she wasn't vastly popular or anything but she was always around. Anyways, she was diagnosed with blood cancer and the whole school found out about it. We had a whole Facebook page with friendly letters and pictures and so on.
A few months pass and we all get the message that she has successfully beaten cancer. The whole school was happy for her, with word of mouth spreading her triumphant victory of beating cancer quicker by the day. Then, literally two days passed when she died from a heart attack due to a side effect from the medication she was taking. The whole high school was just miserable.

"There's a memorial garden..."
Years ago our high school had a French class, they planned a trip to France, the plane crashed in the ocean before they got there. There's a memorial garden and angel statue for the students, faculty and chaperones.

"A guy..."
A guy murdered a girl like 1 week before prom, spurred on by his gf. Small school to maybe 80 people in my year so everyone knew everyone.
RainingCookies
"Well for the past 10 years..."
Well for the past 10 years or so there's been a really high incidence of students committing suicide by parking their car on the train tracks near the high school. It's not consistent, but ever few years one person will do it followed by a couple more.
mecamylamine
"A pregnant girl..."
A pregnant girl got attacked at lunch by another girl. She was thrown to the ground and the girl stomped her stomach. She lost the child.
blazebot4200
"In the 90s..."
In the 90s, we had a "Project Prom", a school organized event with the idea that students would go there instead of parties, and it would keep them safe.
A girl died at one.
At hot tob filter caught onto her leg, and the suction held her under water. At the time (this is over 20 years ago), there wasn't a law that the emergency shut off had to be nearby.
It was fairly big news, the New York Times did a story.

"2 seniors..."
2 seniors died in 3 days of totally unrelated causes 2 months before graduation. They were the best friends of a guy that road the same bus as me and I was sitting right behind him when he got the call about the second one, I've never heard someone scream like that before or since.

"Three seniors..."
Three seniors got hit by a car. One has a scar on her face for life and another was in a coma. The other girl who was in my dance troupe died.

Girl got decapitated on her birthday in a car crash....we averaged a death a year.

Teachers Divulge The Worst Things They Confiscated From Students
Photo by Dmitry Grigoriev on Unsplash
When you're working with kids, you never know what you're going to be dealing with on a daily basis. Are you going to have the delicate sweethearts, opening their hearts to learn?
Or are you going to be dealing with a sinister group of bee wranglers, who have suddenly set up a black market bee ring througout the school?
Yes. That's a real thing that happened.
Reddit user, GlytchedTTV, wanted to know what you took from students that will haunt you forever when they asked:
"Teachers of Reddit, what was the worst thing you had to confiscate from a student?"
Something can leave a lasting impact you think about for years after the fact without actually being physically or mentally scarring. Sometimes it just makes you question why you're doing what you're doing.
That's Not How That Works
"I had to confiscate hand sanitizer from a student who decided to drink it to get drunk and threw up EVERYWHERE."
astrobre
"This actually came up in a chemistry lab. One guy heard sanitizer had alcohol in it and you could see his eyes light up. The teacher had to calmly explain why he'd probably die/get violently sick."

Thank You For Being So Hurtful And So Honest
"My wife is a teacher and one of her first graders brought her 2 hard seltzers because her mom said they're good after a long day and she deserved them"
Nocreativeability
"Aww that's pretty sweet actually, even if inappropriate."
macaroni_penguin09
Remember that bee story from earlier? This is that time.
These stories are peculiar, odd to say the least, but mostly harmless to those involved. Unless you're a bee.
Black Market Bee Sales?
"When I was in fifth grade there was an active market in live bees."
"Some kids figured out that the weight of the average fifth grader briefly stepping on a bee, in the grass, would stun it for about a minute without actually killing it. They started going out in teams to scout bees on the field, stun them, and carefully scoop them into plastic sandwich bags -- they'd then sell them to other students who'd release them in classrooms to waste class time and scare people."
"You could get honeybees for 25 cents apiece. Bumblebees and yellow jackets cost more. Teachers and school admin started cracking down on this -- teachers literally confiscated live bees in plastic bags from students when found, and they eventually had to start having someone watch the field to catch students in the act."
Piogre
Take It Off The Stove
"My mom has had stories about what's she's confiscated from lower elementary aged students (K-3). The usual prank items like woopie cushions, sure. But one time a student was playing with this weird box. The box was locked. So she couldn't put it in the confiscated bin. She put it on top of a cabinet. About an hour later, it starts ringing. Furiously. It took some doing to get the box open."
"Turns out, this kid's parent was a professional chef. So the kid had grabbed every timer in the house, set them for the max amount of time, locked the box, brought it to school, and played with it so it would get confiscated and ring loudly. Whole class erupted with laughter and screaming. A true agent of chaos"
Cathy-the-Grand
Awww-huh?
"Preschool teacher here. I had to convince a 4 year old that his mom's wedding ring should go into a special box on the front desk instead of on the finger of a six year old girl he had a crush on."
"Later he brought in his dad's car keys, and a bottle opener."
Luka-the-Pooka
We Found Nemo, Everybody
"The weirdest one was definitely the fish in a vase they found during locker checks. It was in an unassigned locker someone had added a lock to. Inside was a live Betta fish in about as large a vase as you can fit in a locker. Fully decorated. Someone had clipped a little book light to the top of the vase presumably so fish wasn't in the dark all the time. No one claimed to know whose if was or how long it had been there so it lived in the coaches office for at least that year."
Polyf-ckery
Everybody Is Going Nuts
"A dead squirrel."
"I taught preschool at the time."
groviegroves
Kids are dangerous psychos, aren't they? Deep down? We're just meant to think they're innocent so we won't notice they knife they're about to stick in our backs.
Planning A Heist?
"Most dangerous: a knife from an 8th grader."
"Most annoying: different school than above, but a wifi jammer and a USB killing device from an 8th grader."
CageyRabbit
This Is Why We Shouldn't Give Kids Technology
"Not a teacher, but a bus driver. I had to confiscate a 5th grader's cell phone a few days ago, specifically because he was showing hardcore porn to first graders with it... Lots of phone calls that day..."
MrJoyless
"My school banned 1st grade - 5th grade from having phones because the 4th/5th graders would constantly show hardcore porn to the younger kids... I'm starting to see a pattern here"
jo_nigiri
Ah, That Explains A Lot Of These Stories
"Penis shaped glass pipe with weed still in the balls/bowl. Mom asked if she would be getting it back or if the school was keeping it."
LebrontologicalArgmt
It's not your child, we promise. It's everyone else's kid that's bringing dead squirrels and phone porn to school.
Kidnapping Survivors Share How They Escaped
Koh Mochizuki

Abduction remains to be a horrific crime that can typically happen to women and children.
If they're lucky, kidnapping victims have managed to escape, but the traumatic experience continues haunting them for the rest of their lives.
Curious to hear from those who lived to tell their distressing stories, Redditor mind_guardian asked:
"For survivors of attempted kidnapping. How did you escape?"
The following Redditor had very close calls.
Spontaneous Escape Plan
"Guy at a club and his mix of friends was insistent about coming back to a party, I politely declined. Didn't think much of it. They got increasingly aggressive about it, to a physical extent, and I left. Walking back home, I realized they were following me in their car."
"Dashed down the road through the mid-path of a packed apartment complex and just started yelling like crazy."
"No one actually responded or poked their head out or maybe they just didn't hear me. But it sparked the escape reflex of the creeps and I hid in a bush until my heart slowed down. Jumped the fence of someone's property -risky in its own right- wandered through a field, avoiding the main roads, and circled back to a side-street to home. Lucky I knew the area better than they did."
– Dangercakes13
Offering A Ride Home
"I don't know sure what this was, but i was riding my bike home alone, cutting through a deserted middle school and high school parking lots during the summer time. A man in a station wagon pulled up and offered me a ride home. I never stopped pedaling, just said no I'm fine."
"He pressed several times saying he could fit my bike in his car, it was no big deal. I kept saying no. He gave up and left. Don't know if it was just a genuinely helpful guy (this was the late 70s or early 80s so it wasn't yet completely extinct practice that strangers might offer each other rides) or a potential kidnapper."
– DiligentAdvantage475
Up In The Treehouse
"My mum was always paranoid someone would kidnap us kids from the yard. We used to play outside while she worked from home, we were 10, 8 and 6 at this time. She paid our neighbours teenage daughter to sit in the yard and watch us. Mostly she just ignored us and read a magazine with her headphones on and Walkman playing, but she was nice to us. I remember thinking this was stupid and mum was right there anyway so why did I 'basically a teenage' need to be babysat lol."
"One day we were all up in our tree house being jerks to our babysitter and unplugging her headset cord while she was trying to nap. A man and woman came into the yard via the side gate. They started talking to my youngest sibling trying to get her to climb down. The babysitter screamed for help but no one came. She ended up throwing the ladder from the treehouse over our back fence into her own yard and made us all climb into her yard with her dog who was going insane at the fence."
"We ended up locked in her house and she called the police. My mum didn't hear any of the commotion from inside the house and she won't speak about it even now that we are all adults. Never complained about my babysitter after that though."
– Dark_Valefor
The Creepy Customer
"I don't remember how old I was, just that I was small enough to fit into the kids seat on a grocery cart. This was the early 90s and my mom had taken me grocery shopping with her. I was sitting in the grocery cart while my mom was focused on picking out produce only a few feet away when an older woman swooped in between us and started pushing the cart away quickly. I recall her smiling at me and trying to make me feel comfortable while also making the 'shh' gesture with her hand."
"I did not feel comfortable and started making enough noise to alert my mom. She ran over and loudly yelled at this stranger that this child was hers. The most chilling part that I still remember was that she didn't flee the scene and instead made a comment about how cute I was and calmly walked away. Before she disappeared down an aisle she took one last look at me and winked."

People who were actually abducted talked about how they got out of their situation.
The Elderly Hero
"It was the 90s in SE Asia. I wasn't old enough to go to school yet so my grandma took care of me while my parents were at work. My grandma had a little convenience store and one day 2 men approached her. One was in his 30s and the other was an old short man with white hair. They were carrying those hand weave basket pig cage."
"They asked my grandma if I was for sale. She told them to bugger off. While my grandma was distracted, they snatched me and I was carried away. I was kicking and screaming until they knocked me out. One of the neighbors saw me and alerted my grandma. My grandma rode her bicycle down the main street looking for me. She argued and threatened them to get me back."
"If it wasn't for my grandma and her stubborn fierceness, I wouldn't be here. She passed away in 2016. Love you and miss you grandma."
– Sir_Blinklot
Dumb Cabbie
"My wife told me that when she was just a teenager, she got in a cab and the cab driver just abducted her. He didn't take her to her destination, instead he took her to a hotel room. She was really scared but she kind of started playing along a little and pretended that she was interested and into it. Then he lay down on the bed, and she said something like 'Oh, I'm hungry. Can we order a pizza first?' and the cab driver said okay."
"So she picked up the phone, while she was dialing he wasn't paying attention so she disconnected the cable. Then she said, you know, I think the phone is broken. Let me go to the front desk to tell them, and I'll order the pizza while I'm there. So he says, okay sure."
"She went to the front desk and told them what was happening, they called the cops, the cops came and hauled him away."
– humanefly
Fighting For Life
"Was drugged at a small town bar, went to the bartender and asked what drink she had given me. She recited what I had ordered. I told her I asked because I'm not feeling well suddenly and it was like the world was spinning on its head. I sat at my seat because she said she hadn't seen anyone near my table/drink. Cool, whatever."
"It's getting worse and I feeling the worst I've ever felt in my life. I don't really remember what happened but a guy had led me outside and we were getting in a car. I remember hearing 'bracele' and seeing handcuff clink on my tiny a** wrist. My first response was scream, kick, anything. I already felt like vomiting and pooping so in my panic of scream and writhing around (drawing a LOT of attention from a closed car apparently) I stopped for a second and hear 'finally you b*tch' before I vomited all of the back seat, myself, and I threw myself forward to cover him as well."
"At this point I had no control between vomiting and screaming as loud I as could to vomit more, my drugged self was like 'it can't get worse for me' and I literally pulled my pants down and shat as my body saw fit. Guy never left the parking lot because of the commotion I raised."
"I remember hearing people banging on the windows and the guy freaking out, so I started screaming 'help' the best I could. The guy was arrested and charged with attempted kidnapping and drugging me with meth and fet that they found on his person. Blessed be the big man 'mike' who carried my vomit poop cover self to the gym (next to the bar) where they let me shower and change."
– totallyoriginalacct
The Ultimate Betrayal
"My best friend tricked me into hanging out with her after I moved to another coast to be closer to her. Once I got there she introduced me to her 'friend' then slipped out of the house. When i asked about it he laughed and said 'you really thought she was your friend? She owes me money and you're her payment. I've known about you for months. None of this was coincidental' then proceeded to pull up pics of me and conversations between them two."
"After a lot of initial crying and begging I told him I needed to go to her house to get my stuff and my phone. He told me he would get me all new stuff and I didn't need it. Why would I go back to her. I immediately told him that he was right. I didn't wanna go back to her. That he really saved me from her cause what kind of friend would sell me to someone. I told him that he was gonna take care of me and I knew that. I just needed my phone to let my parents know I was okay and wouldn't see them for a bit or they'd get worried and file a report."
"After much convincing he agreed to let me go to her house around the corner to grab my stuff and come back. I took off running once I got around the corner. Had to take 2 busses and 2 trains to get home. I haven't had a close friend since."

These Redditors recalled making a run for it before anything bad could happen.
Declining An Invitation
"When I was 8 years old (f) I had just moved to a new house that was directly across the street from the school I would be starting in just a month or two. I would sometimes go to the school and play by myself for a bit. One time I was headed back home when I was approached and surrounded by a group of boys in their early teens. They told me to come hang out at their house. I shook my head and tried to run home but was blocked. The second oldest pulls out a $20 and tells me that I can have it once we get to their house. I think for a moment and decline again but am blocked again from leaving. My heart is racing and I keep looking longingly at my house."
"The boy with the money holds it out to me and says to take it and he'll give me another $20 at the house, it's in his wallet, he forgot it. The oldest chimes in telling me I would be able to buy a LOT of candy with that money. I hesitate, and start to reach my hand out to take the money and then see my chance to run between two of the boys and escape. They yelled and tried to grab me but I made it home."
"I saw some of them on occasion but I always stayed far away and they seemed to have forgotten about me. I later learned that the house they were trying to take me to belonged to a drug addicted mother who was rarely home and her son's just did whatever they wanted."
– CMaya2006
Teacher "Dad"
"I was 12 and some guy was walking towards me after school. He said, 'Hey there kiddo, You remember me, don't you!? Mom told me to take you home!' I thought, 'B*tch, that's the oldest trick in the book!' My parents told me if this ever happened, one thing I could do was run to the nearest adult and yell 'Mom, Mom' or 'Dad, Dad' So that's what I did."
"A teacher was walking into the school and I said, 'Oh Dad, there you are!' The guy got TF outta there. I explained to the teacher why I did what I did. We didn't get his plate number sadly enough."
– SMG4-Is-My-God
"It Only Takes A Second"
"When I was very little my dad took my sister and I on a river camping trip for a few days. We got to the little rural town at the end of the river where a buddy left our truck and trailer at the boat launch for us. My sister was old enough to sort of help dad with loading the boat (hold rope so it doesn't float away while we back up etc) but I was too little to really do much so I started wandering around looking for stuff. I found a dead bumblebee and I really loved bumblebees so I decided to bury it in a little grave to pay respects. I found a patch of flowers near the edge of the boat launch, by the woods. I'm crouched down, completely absorbed by my trying to make a little cross for a headstone out of two twigs and a bit of grass, when suddenly I hear my dad's deep, booming voice scream."
"He was a good ten yards away from me but it was so loud I could feel it in my chest and I jump and spun around towards him. He is already halfway to me, running. His face looks scary. He looks so mad, so focused, and he's looking over my shoulder instead of at me. I run over to him, no idea what's happening but scared that I'd at least get in trouble if I didn't go over to him right away. He picks me up and puts both me and my sister into the truck to finish loading by himself."
"Apparently a man tried to take me. I never even knew he was there. Dad caught sight of him just as he began lunging towards me and scared him off. I wouldn't have known until I was already gone if he hadn't been so aware."
"Watch your kids, it only takes a second."

A Convenient Tool
"I was about 7 at the time, and at that time i thought it was cool to carry a pocket knife, well, one day i was riding my bike, and a man knocked me over covering my mouth, i grabbed my knife and stabbed him in the side and ran inside crying."
– Toaster_Ruler
Listen To Your Gut
"I was 19 walking to work in the early hours of the morning in winter. I knew someone was following me for a little while and I was just praying I was making it up. Suddenly all the sh*t I have even been taught about self defence came forward. He grabbed me and pulled me."
"There was a moment when I turned to look at him and he laughed and it was at this point I pissed my pants. I was walking as close to the road as I physically could without being on it and I pushed my head down and then threw it back as quickly as I could."
"He fell and I ran in the middle of the road with my armsout screaming. Flagged down to cars. It was a very scary moment in my life and taught me a harsh lesson. Listen to your gut, even if you've done something 100 times if you don't feel safe you're not safe."

These and hundreds of other examples on this Reddit thread reflect the sad reality of the horrors of the crime that still happen to this day.
Hopefully, what the survivors did to flee from their traumatizing situations can be a useful reminder to always stay vigilant, whether it is for yourself or your children.
And when all else fails, always scream and fight for your life before the situation can get any worse.

Budding chefs know a thing or two about what makes certain dishes taste so good.
But the average person doesn't have to be a major food connoisseur to know what is exceptionally delicious.
That being said, there are a few tips that can be learned to enhance one's enjoyment of a variety of dishes.
Interesting points were brought up when Redditor onegrayhair asked:
"What culinary hill are you willing to die on?"
People shared cooking tips and how some foods should be prepared a certain way.
"Nachos should be built wide not tall."

People had plenty to say about rating recipes.
Unfair Critique
"When you're baking from an online recipe, don't change three or four ingredients "to make it healthy" and then leave a one star review about how bad it is."
– cliff99
Inaccurate Reviews
"Don't leave a 5-star review on someone's recipe while saying 'This was a great recipe... after I made these 10 changes!' At that point, you're not rating that person's recipe, you are rating YOUR OWN recipe. That person's recipe must not have been so good if you had to make so many changes."
"Also, don't leave a 5-star review on someone's recipe while saying 'This recipe looks great, I can't wait to try it!' Why skew the ratings when you haven't even tried it yet?"
– randomentity1
Snobbery Is Tasteless
"Being snobby about food to the point where you're hindering someone else's enjoyment is not a positive personality trait."
– swordcowboy
Taste Buds Don't Lie
"If it tastes good it tastes good."
– Danielwols
Some questioned others' capabilities in the kitchen while others straight up forbade them from doing something that is unfavorable.

"She complained that I 'always call her out on that.'"
"Yeah no sh*t, you're the only one tryna catch state health code write ups.'

Don't Interrupt The Cook
"Get out of the kitchen if I'm cooking. Out out out I don't want your help."
– Justice171
Not All Salads Are Good For You
"I live in the Midwest, I love the Midwest but just because you call something a salad does not mean it is healthy and an acceptable side dish to your main course. Snicker-marshmallow-mayo-whatever is not salad."
– ArachnesChallenge
I don't consider myself a cook, but I do pat myself on the back for some of the dishes I do know how to make well.
One of those is Japanese curry. And while I can't keep from serving and eating what takes at least an hour-and-a-half to make, I do find that my leftover tastes infinitely better the next day.
I make a HUGE batch of curry sauce so I can continue enjoying it for the next few days. There's something about leaving it in the fridge and heating up portions at a time that really activate the spices.


Esther Leon Anderson was born to George Alfred Smith and Edna Lorraine Ofield on May 1, 1929 at Minden and passed away Sept. 24, 2017 at Heritage Crossings in Geneva at the age of 88 years 4 months and 23 days. She was one of ten children in the family.
Esther was married to E. L. Anderson of Shickley, on Dec. 23, 1950 and to them one child, Andy Bruce, was born.
She enjoyed getting together with her sister and brother. Her parents were farmers, so she worked on the farm, graduating from Minden High School. She worked in a drug store in Minden for three or four years after her graduation.


Change from baseline in Scale for the Assessment of Negative Symptoms (SANS) scores during an 8-week trial in 23 patients receiving 50-mg/d D-cycloserine (horizontal lines) and 23 patients receiving placebo (circles). Dropouts are represented by a diamond at the final assessment. Vertical lines represent the range of values. Statistical analyses are presented in the text.
Background In a preliminary dose-finding study, D-cycloserine, a partial agonist at the glycine modulatory site of the glutamatergicN-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor, improved negative symptoms and cognitive function when added to conventional neuroleptics at a dose of 50 mg/d.
Methods Forty-seven patients with schizophrenia meeting criteria for deficit syndrome were randomized to D-cycloserine, 50 mg/d (n=23) or placebo (n=24) added to their conventional neuroleptic for an 8-week, double-blind trial. Clinical assessments were performed at baseline and at weeks 1, 2, 4, 6, and 8. Serum concentrations of D-cycloserine, relevant amino acids, and homovanillic acid were assayed at baseline and at weeks 4 and 8. A cognitive battery was performed at baseline and at week 8.
Results Thirty-nine patients completed the 8-week trial. Seven dropouts occurred in the D-cycloserine group and 1 in the placebo group. The mean reduction in negative symptoms with D-cycloserine (23%) was significantly greater than with placebo (7%) as calculated by slopes representing Scale for the Assessment of Negative Symptoms (SANS) total scores. Improvement of negative symptoms was predicted by low neuroleptic dose and low baseline SANS total score. No differences were found in performance on any cognitive test between groups or in changes in any other clinical measure. Clinical response did not correlate significantly with serum amino acid concentrations at baseline or with concentrations of D-cycloserine at weeks 4 and 8.
Conclusion These results support the hypothesis that agents acting at the glycine modulatory site of the NMDA receptor improve primary negative symptoms.
RECENT EFFORTS to direct pharmacological intervention at theN-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) subtype of glutamate receptor have followed from evidence linking this receptor complex to schizophrenia.1,2 For example, phencyclidine and ketamine, noncompetitive antagonists at the NMDA receptor complex, produce positive and negative symptoms, thought disorder, and cognitive symptoms that may better mimic schizophrenia than other pharmacological models.3,4 Because of the risk of neurotoxic effects, agents at the NMDA receptor do not represent a viable therapeutic approach to correct a hypothesized hypoactivity at the NMDA receptor complex.5,6 More promising are agents directed at the glycine modulatory site of the NMDA receptor complex that enhance activation of the NMDA-gated voltage-dependent cation channel with substantially lower risk of neurotoxic effects.7 Glycine acts as an obligatory co-agonist at this site, increasing the frequency of the NMDA-gated channel openings.8 In early open-label trials, glycine administered at doses ranging from 5 to 15 g/d produced improvement of negative symptoms in 33% to 50% of patients with schizophrenia, although results were inconsistent, possibly due to its poor penetration of the blood-brain barrier.9-11 More recently, Javitt et al12 reported that higher oral doses (0.4 g/kg per day or approximately 30 g/d) of glycine added to antipsychotic medication significantly improved negative symptoms (mean decrease of 15%). In a subsequent placebo-controlled crossover trial, glycine (60 g/d) was administered to 11 patients with schizophrenia for 6 weeks and produced a significant 36% mean reduction in negative symptom scores.13 Serum concentrations of glycine at baseline correlated inversely with the reduction in negative symptom scores (r=0.91, P<.001).
We performed a placebo-controlled dose-finding trial with D-cycloserine added to conventional neuroleptics and found significant improvement of negative symptoms and performance on the Sternberg Item Recognition Paradigm (SIRP) at a dose of 50 mg/d without significant effects on psychosis, parkinsonism, or depression.18 When the dose-finding trial was repeated in patients treated with clozapine, negative symptoms significantly worsened at a D-cycloserine dose of 50 mg/d.19 Serum glutamate concentrations at baseline and the change in glycine concentrations significantly correlated with response of negative symptoms in the 2 dose-finding trials.19 Van Berckel et al20 performed a single-blind dose-finding trial in 14 unmedicated patients with schizophrenia and found that D-cycloserine (100 mg/d) significantly improved negative symptoms in 7 completers without affecting psychotic or depressive symptoms. However, Rosse et al21 failed to find an effect on negative symptoms when D-cycloserine at doses of 10 mg/d and 30 mg/d was added to molindone in a placebo-controlled, parallel-group study involving 13 patients.
We set out to determine whether D-cycloserine (50 mg/d) added to conventional neuroleptics in patients meeting criteria for the deficit syndrome would selectively improve negative and cognitive symptoms as compared with placebo.
Subjects were outpatients or inpatients with aDSM-IV diagnosis of schizophrenia, meeting criteria for the deficit syndrome. Diagnostic assessments were performed using the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV and the Schedule for the Deficit Syndrome.22 To be eligible, patients had to have been treated with a stable dose of a conventional neuroleptic for at least 4 months. Patients were excluded if they had abused alcohol or any illicit substances during the past 6 months or had ever abused phencyclidine. Patients were also excluded if they displayed parkinsonian symptoms as defined by a score of 8 or higher on the Simpson-Angus Scale for Extrapyramidal Symptoms (SAS)23 or depressive symptoms as defined by a score of 25 or higher on the 18-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D). In addition, a total score of 30 or greater on the Scale for the Assessment of Negative Symptoms (SANS)24 was required for participation in the study.
After providing written informed consent, all patients entered a 2-week, single-blind, placebo lead-in phase, during which they were instructed to take 1 capsule at 8 PM daily in addition to their conventional neuroleptic. After completion of the placebo lead-in, patients who continued to score 30 or higher on the SANS were randomized in a double-blind fashion to D-cycloserine (50 mg/d) or placebo, administered in identical-appearing capsules for the entire 8-week fixed-dose trial. No changes were made in any psychotropic medications during the course of the study. The clinical assessment battery was performed after completion of the placebo lead-in (baseline) and after weeks 1, 2, 4, 6, and 8 or at the time of early termination from the study. Assessment instruments included the SANS, SAS, Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS),25 HAM-D, Abnormal Involuntary Movements Scale (AIMS),26 and Global Assessment Scale (GAS). After training, interrater reliability on all clinical scales was established between sites and a correlation coefficient greater than 0.8 was maintained for the SANS and PANSS total scores by repeated assessments at 3-month intervals during the course of the study.
Phlebotomy was performed between 9 AM and 11 AM at baseline and at weeks 4 and 8, following a 12-hour fast. Serum was placed immediately in a freezer at −80°C. Serum samples were assayed for concentrations of D-cycloserine, glycine, serine, glutamate, aspartate, and homovanillic acid (HVA). D-Cycloserine and amino acids were measured by a method involving o-phthalaldehyde precolumn derivatization, reverse-phase carbon-18 high-performance liquid chromatography separation, and fluorescent detection.31,32 Homovanillic acid was analyzed by reverse-phase carbon-18 column high-performance liquid chromatography separation and fluorescent detection. Absolute concentrations of HVA were determined using computer analysis of peak height with internal and external standards.
Baseline comparisons between groups were performed usingt tests for continuous variables and the Fisher exact test for categorical variables. The efficacy of D-cycloserine vs placebo was analyzed by a mixed-effects model with a fixed treatment × time effect and a random intercept and time effect for each patient. In this model the response to treatment is the average slope, or change per week in SANS total score, during the 8 weeks of the study. This model assumes that each patient's SANS score can be fit to a straight line, the slope and intercept are random, and the actual scores are randomly distributed about the line with independent errors. This model is commonly used for longitudinal data and maximizes information from dropouts.33 The estimation method down-weights data from patients with missing observations and is valid when the observations are missing at random.34 This procedure was repeated with total scores on each subscale of the SANS. As an alternative approach, the changes in SANS total scores from baseline to week 8 were compared between treatment groups by t tests using last observation carried forward. To see if the response to treatment remained significant when controlling for covariates that vary by time (SAS, Positive Symptom subscale of the PANSS, HAM-D), a mixed-effects model was used. This model had fixed treatment × time and treatment × covariate effects and random intercept, time, and covariate effects for each patient.
Patients were considered to be evaluable for efficacy analysis if they completed the clinical assessment at week 1. Statistical analyses were performed using SAS software (SAS Institute, Cary, NC). Results are given as mean±SD except for differences between slopes, which are expressed as mean±SE. All statistical tests are 2 tailed and an α level of .05 was used for tests of significance.
To determine whether baseline covariates predict the magnitude of response (average slope) to D-cycloserine in the treatment group, a mixed-effects model was used. Covariates included age, duration of illness, neuroleptic dose, baseline scores on the SANS, SAS, HAM-D, and GAS, and baseline concentrations of amino acids. This model had fixed time and covariate × time effects and random intercept and time effects for each patient. To estimate the change in active minus placebo response (slope) per unit change in baseline covariate, a mixed model was used, which had fixed time, covariate, treatment × time, and treatment × time × covariate effects as well as random intercept and time effect for each patient.
Changes in scores from baseline to week 8 on cognitive tests were compared between groups using t tests. The mean reaction time from all 4 trials was used for analysis of the SIRP and the differences in number of recalled words on list 1 (low context) and list 4 (high context) were used to analyze the effects of D-cycloserine on performance on the Miller-Selfridge Test.
The slopes in serum analyte concentrations over time were compared between treatment groups using a random slopes model. In addition, Pearson product moment correlations were computed for the relationship between the slope of SANS total score, serum concentrations of D-cycloserine, and the change from baseline to week 8 in serum analytes.
Fifty-one patients entered the study and 48 completed the 2-week placebo wash-in. One patient scored below 30 on the SANS at baseline, after completing the placebo lead-in, and was dropped from further study. Forty-seven patients were randomized (placebo, n=24; D-cycloserine, n=23). One patient in the placebo group dropped out during the first week after randomization, prior to the first assessment, leaving a total of 46 evaluable patients. The patient who dropped out during week 1 was included in the comparison of dropout rates between groups, but was not included in other analyses of outcome. The mean age of evaluable patients was 44.1±10.8 years, the mean duration of illness was 20.5±11.4 years, and the mean daily dose of neuroleptic (in chlorpromazine equivalents) was 912±715 mg/d. Seventeen patients were receiving depot neuroleptic and the remainder were receiving a variety of oral conventional neuroleptics. The D-cycloserine and placebo groups did not differ significantly at baseline in any clinical variable (Table 1).
Eight subjects dropped out prior to week 8; 1 was receiving placebo and 7 were receiving D-cycloserine (P=.02, Fisher exact test). Three patients were dropped from study owing to worsening of psychotic symptoms; 1 patient (placebo group) was hospitalized during week 1, 1 patient required adjustment of medication during week 3, and 1 patient was hospitalized during week 7. Three patients left the study to travel with family or friends. Two of these dropouts occurred during week 3 and 1 during week 7. In addition, 1 patient dropped out during week 3 complaining of vague somatic discomfort and 1 patient dropped out during week 7 citing lack of efficacy. No other significant adverse effects were reported following randomization. The only significant difference found between dropouts and completers on clinical variables at baseline was a lower mean SAS score in dropouts (2.5±2.5 vs 1.1±1.0, df=28,t=2.67, P=.01). The rate of reduction on SANS total scores during the first 2 weeks was nonsignificantly greater in dropouts as compared with completers (4.31±1.42 vs 1.49±0.95, df=21, P=.11).
The reductions from baseline in total scores on the SANS were significant for patients treated with D-cycloserine (df=44, t=5.82, P<.001) and with placebo (df=44, t=2.49, P=.02) (Figure 1 and Table 2). The difference in slopes between groups was also significant, indicating both a significant placebo effect and true treatment effect (Table 2). The 2 treatment groups did not differ significantly in slopes representing the change in the Negative Symptom and Positive Symptom subscales of the PANSS, HAM-D, GAS, SAS, or AIMS (Table 2). D-Cycloserine produced a mean 23% reduction in total SANS scores at week 8 compared with a mean 7% reduction in the placebo group. The rate of reduction in total SANS scores in the D-cycloserine group remained significantly greater than for the placebo group after controlling for change in the SAS (df=44, t= −2.45, P=.02), HAM-D (df=44, t= −2.27, P=.03), and Positive Symptom subscale of the PANSS (df=44, t= −2.50,P=.02). Analysis of slopes for the 5 subscales of the SANS revealed that only Blunted Affect subscale scores were significantly improved in the D-cycloserine group compared with the placebo group(Table 2). The reduction in SANS total score with D-cycloserine was inversely related to age, duration of illness, and the log of neuroleptic dose (Table 3). The difference in slopes between active treatment and placebo for SANS total score was inversely related to the log of neuroleptic dose and the baseline value of SANS total score (Table 3).
Comparison of the change in SANS total scores from baseline to week 8 using last observation carried forward also revealed significant improvement with D-cycloserine compared with placebo (9.9±6.9 vs 4.1±9.3; df=44, t=2.39,P=.02).
The D-cycloserine and placebo groups did not differ in baseline scores or change scores at week 8 on any cognitive test (Table 4).
Serum concentrations of glycine, serine, glutamate, aspartate, and HVA did not differ between groups at baseline and only the slope of glutamate concentrations over time changed significantly with D-cycloserine (−5.25±14.9, df=33,t=−2.03, P=.05). Baseline serum concentrations did not correlate significantly with the slope of SANS total scores for any analyte in the D-cycloserine group. Neither did D-cycloserine concentrations at weeks 4 and 8 correlate with the slope of SANS total score. D-Cycloserine concentrations at week 8 correlated significantly with the change from baseline in serum glutamate (r=−0.72, P<.001) and HVA (r=0.76, P=.002).
The significant improvement in SANS total scores with D-cycloserine (50 mg/d) compared with placebo replicates results from our dose-finding study18 and is consistent with recent trials of high-dose glycine.12,13 Because subjects met criteria for the deficit syndrome22 and response of SANS scores occurred in the absence of effects on parkinsonism, depression, or psychosis, this finding supports the hypothesis that enhanced activation of the glycine modulatory site can selectively improve primary negative symptoms.
The clinical relevance of this finding is not easy to determine; a definition of clinically significant response of negative symptoms has not been established. The effect size of the difference in reductions of SANS total score between D-cycloserine and placebo, calculated by the difference in slopes divided by their SDs, was 0.80, which is considered a "large" effect size.35 Using a reduction in baseline SANS total score of 20% or greater as an estimate of a clinically significant response, 61% of patients achieved this level of response with D-cycloserine compared with 26% with placebo. It is puzzling, however, that improvement on the Negative Symptom subscale of the PANSS did not achieve statistical significance with D-cycloserine compared with placebo; the effect size of this difference was 0.47. For purposes of comparison, the effect size of the change in the Negative Symptom subscale of the PANSS with risperidone (6 mg/d) compared with haloperidol in the North American Trials was 0.26.36 Additional studies administering D-cycloserine for an extended time period and using scales sensitive to changes in quality of life will be necessary to determine whether D-cycloserine's effects on negative symptoms are primarily of theoretical vs clinical value.
We did not observe any evidence of neurologic adverse effects, particularly worsening of extrapyramidal symptoms or tardive dyskinesia. This question follows from recent concerns about neurotoxic effects resulting from glycine agonists.9,38 In theory, combined use of glycine receptor agonists and neuroleptics could place patients at risk for neurologic adverse effects, because neuroleptics have been shown to increase glutamate concentrations in the striatum39 and elevated concentrations of excitatory amino acids in cerebrospinal fluid have been associated with tardive dyskinesia.40 Extended trials of D-cycloserine combined with neuroleptics will be required to fully evaluate the potential risk of neurologic toxic effects.
As a partial agonist with approximately 40% to 60% activity compared with glycine, D-cycloserine's effect is determined by relative concentrations of endogenous ligands possessing varying degrees of agonist activity, including glycine, serine, and alanine, as well as the endogenous antagonist, kynurenic acid. We can conclude that D-cycloserine's therapeutic effects result from a relative agonist rather than antagonist effect at the glycine modulatory site because similar improvement of negative symptoms is also produced by the full agonist, glycine.12,13 Furthermore, the preliminary finding that D-cycloserine improved negative symptoms when administered to medication-free patients20 argues that D-cycloserine is not merely reversing effects of neuroleptics at the glycine site.
Our failure to replicate earlier findings of a relationship between glycine serum concentrations and clinical response may reflect several factors. Whereas concentrations of glycine measured in cerebrospinal fluid are estimated to be high enough to saturate glycine sites on NMDA receptors, recent evidence suggests that glycine transporters in synaptic membranes may modulate concentrations of glycine within restricted diffusion spaces around NMDA receptors.48 Therefore, the relevance of serum glycine concentrations to concentrations at brain NMDA receptors is not clear. In addition, our sample consisted mostly of outpatients and, despite our attempts to enforce a 12-hour fast prior to phlebotomy, variability introduced by dietary intake of amino acids may have obscured any potential relationship between serum glycine concentrations and the central effects of D-cycloserine. It is also possible that inclusion of patients treated with several different antipsychotic agents over a broad range of doses may have further obscured such a relationship. Additional studies including measurement of cerebrospinal fluid concentrations of amino acids in pharmacologically homogeneous patient samples, with strict dietary controls, are needed to clarify this issue.
We did not replicate our previous finding of improved performance on the SIRP with D-cycloserine and found no evidence of cognitive enhancement on any neuropsychological test. This is surprising, given the striking relationship between improvement of negative symptoms and cognitive performance in our dose-finding trial,18 as well as considerable evidence of cognitive enhancement with D-cycloserine over a narrow range of doses in animal models.18 It is possible that D-cycloserine administered at 50 mg/d did not produce optimal concentrations for cognitive enhancement, despite positive findings in our prior dose-finding study. It is also possible that the cognitive enhancement produced by a 2-week course of D-cycloserine, 50 mg/d, during our dose-finding study does not persist for the course of an 8-week trial. Enhancement of cognitive function in animal trials was achieved by acute administration of D-cycloserine; one study in which D-cycloserine was repeatedly administered demonstrated a loss of cognitive enhancement after 2 weeks of exposure.49 More studies employing individualized dosing and additional tests of cognitive function will be necessary to clarify this question.
This study replicates our earlier finding that D-cycloserine (50 mg/d) improves negative symptoms when added to conventional neuroleptics, but failed to demonstrate effects on cognitive performance. Because patients met criteria for the deficit syndrome and negative symptoms improved in the absence of effects on depressive, parkinsonian, and psychotic symptoms, we conclude that D-cycloserine selectively improved primary negative symptoms of schizophrenia. Earlier findings of correlations between serum glycine concentrations and improvement of negative symptoms were not replicated.

ABSTRACT: We studied 2 seagrass beds in the Mexican Caribbean that were grazed by green turtles. Grazing impact was moderate at Puerto Morelos (<20% of the area was grazed), whereas at Akumal, 45 to 55% of the bed was grazed. The turtles practiced rotational (cultivation) grazing and thereby increased the nitrogen leaf content in the dominant seagrass Thalassia testudinum by 30 to 33%. Average seagrass leaf productivity decreased under grazing at Puerto Morelos from 3.09 to 0.93 g dry wt m-2 d-1, whereas it did not change significantly at Akumal (0.88 to 1.17 g dry wt m-2 d-1). At Puerto Morelos, the turtles maintained grazing plots for 13 mo to >2 yr, creating a mosaic of patches that were grazed, ungrazed or recovering from grazing. Cover of the faster-growing Halodule wrightii and rhizophytic algae increased in the grazing plots, whereas that of the dominant but slow-growing T. testudinum decreased. After the turtles stopped grazing the plots, the cover of T. testudinum gradually increased again, but recovery to pre-grazing conditions lasted >1 yr and was not observed in this study. Cover of Syringodium filiforme decreased when the turtles opened up new grazing areas but remained stable afterwards because the turtles usually avoided consumption of this seagrass. At Akumal, the system approached carrying capacity for grazing, and the turtles returned to grazing plots that had not fully recovered from past grazing. Here, the dominant climax seagrass T. testudinum became less abundant from 2008 until 2012, resulting in a less patchy landscape with low seagrass biomass and higher prevalence of the early seral species H. wrightii.

Garinagu Project
The Garifuna culture that was born on St. Vincent when a slave ship capsized and the African captives swam to freedom is greatly influenced by African culture. The Garifuna are a hybrid race of West African, and Lokono (Arawak) and Kalinago (Carib) indigenous Indians, who were exiled from their homeland, Yurumein (St. Vincent), in the Grenadines by the British in 1797 to the island of Roatan off of the coast of Honduras. As a result, the culture transported and transplanted to Central America through the migration, the largest communities settling along coastal Honduras and Belize. The largest Garifuna community outside of Honduras is in the Bronx, yet the world is widely unaware of the rich history and culture. As the Garinagu (Garifuna plural) have assimilated into American culture, the result is that the language and culture are becoming lost and in danger of extinction. However it remains pure in small pockets of the community in the Bronx. In 2001, UNESCO proclaimed Garifuna Language, Music and Dance (together with 19 other endangered cultures) as a "Masterpiece of Oral and Intangible Heritage to Humanity." I am a Garifuna born to native Honduran/Garifuna parents in the Bronx. My native language is English I have learned to speak Spanish over the years and I am currently learning to speak Garifuna. I am an accomplished percussionist playing various styles of music on a world-class level with numerous famous artists. This work will endeavor to present the culture and language in both English and Spanish on a grander scale through broadening the music and fusing other styles of Afro-Caribbean and world music and rhythmical styles with traditional Garifuna rhythms and language, highlighting the rhythms, music and dance. This will be achieved through the collaboration of artists such as Steve Turre, master of the conch shell, which is a staple of Garifuna rhythm, and other master musicians with whom I've worked, as well as the Bronx based group Libana Maraza, Garifuna artists who were born in Honduras whose native languages are Garifuna and Spanish, and James Lovell an artist born in Belize whose native languages are Garifuna and English.

In Beaver Falls Tiger Pause Youth Ministry is a vessel by which God shows the love of Christ for all people and God's desire to "make all things new". Service groups play a large role in this, keeping Tiger Pause and its' facilities running like a well oiled machine and allowing our outreach efforts to grow. Over the years Tiger Pause has grown to have multiple ministry sites which require steady maintenance and care. Through ministry programs like our student-worker program and our ventures in community development we have our hands in the work of city beautification and business development, building relationships through the work of the Gospel in Beaver Falls.
This includes everything from painting our properties to organizing the Furniture Bank to more skilled jobs like masonry, roofing, and electrical work. Church groups, youth groups, college students, businesses, and volunteers have all been a part of the volunteer service at Tiger Pause. All the while groups get the opportunity to work with students from the community, our Tiger Pause staff, and other volunteer groups or people from Beaver Falls.
Tiger Pause seeks to make sure all of our volunteer groups have a great experience in service. We provide meals for volunteer groups. We also provide any equipment and supplies necessary for our projects. If your group has a specific interest or passion for serving we would love to work with you! Let us know what your group is interested in doing. We foster a friendly environment for building relationships, furthering friendships, and teaching about community service through hands on experience.
Safety is a priority with Tiger Pause and complex projects are taken on with the help of skilled contractors. Groups can schedule any day of the week, though Saturdays tend work best. We have had anywhere from one volunteer up to 50 or more volunteers. No group is too big or small. "The harvest is plentiful but the laborers are few". Many of our volunteers find themselves returning to help out throughout the year, which is a fantastic blessing.

I don't want any replica of this data. I can insert into this table with consistency level ANY. But I couldn't select any data from this table.
message="ANY ConsistencyLevel is only supported for writes"
message="Cannot achieve consistency level ONE"
I've tried other read consistency levels but none of them worked for me.
This is very similar to choosing 'replication_factor': 1 and shutting down a node. Again I couldn't select any data. All read consistency levels require at least one replica to be up. Is this how Cassandra works? You cannot select data without replication? What am I missing?
Every copy of the data, including the original, is a replica. Replication factor is not a count of additional copies, it is the total number of copies. You need RF >= 1.
. . . the point is that it's legitimate to set up a zero-replication keyspace (this is common when adding a new datacenter) and change it later. In the meantime, it's correct to reject writes to it.
A write must be written to at least one node. If all replica nodes for the given partition key are down, the write can still succeed after a hinted handoff has been written. If all replica nodes are down at write time, an ANY write is not readable until the replica nodes for that partition have recovered.
So, if you want confirmation that your write was persisted to at least one node and not rely on the hinted handoff (which can expire), then write with consistency level ONE and not ANY.

Q: Using awk how do I reprint a found pattern with a new line character? I have a text file in the format of:
aaa: bcd;bcd;bcddd;aaa:bcd;bcd;bcd;

Where "bcd" can be any length of any characters, excluding ; or :
What I want to do is print the text file in the format of:
aaa: bcd;bcd;bcddd;
aaa: bcd;bcd;bcd;

-etc-
My method of approach to this problem was to isolate a pattern of ";...:" and then reprint this pattern without the initial ;
I concluded I would have to use awk's 'gsub' to do this, but have no idea how to replicate the pattern nor how to print the pattern again with this added new line character 1 character into my pattern.
Is this possible?
If not, can you please direct me in a way of tackling it?

A: We can't quite be sure of the variability in the aaa or bcd parts; presumably, each one could be almost anything.
You should probably be looking for:

*

*a series of one or more non-colon, non-semicolon characters followed by colon,

*with one or more repeats of:

*

*a series of one or more non-colon, non-semicolon characters followed by a semi-colon

That makes up the unit you want to match.
/[^:;]+:([^:;]+;)+/

With that, you can substitute what was found by the same followed by a newline, and then print the result.  The only trick is avoiding superfluous newlines.
Example script:
{
echo "aaa: bcd;bcd;bcddd;aaa:bcd;bcd;bcd;"
echo "aaz: xcd;ycd;bczdd;baa:bed;bid;bud;"
} |
awk '{ gsub(/[^:;]+:([^:;]+;)+/, "&\n"); sub(/\n+$/, ""); print }'

Example output
aaa: bcd;bcd;bcddd;
aaa:bcd;bcd;bcd;
aaz: xcd;ycd;bczdd;
baa:bed;bid;bud;

Paraphrasing the question in a comment:

Why does the regular expression not include the characters before a colon (which is what it's intended to do, but I don't understand why)? I don't understand what "breaks" or ends the regex.

As I tried to explain at the top, you're looking for what we can call 'words', meaning sequences of characters that are neither a colon nor a semicolon.  In the regex, that is [^:;]+, meaning one or more (+) of the negated character class — one or more non-colon, non-semicolon characters.
Let's pretend that spaces in a regex are not significant.  We can space out the regex like this:
    / [^:;]+ : ( [^:;]+ ; ) + /

The slashes simply mark the ends, of course.  The first cluster is a word; then there's a colon.  Then there is a group enclosed in parentheses, tagged with a + at the end.  That means that the contents of the group must occur at least once and may occur any number of times more than that.  What's inside the group?  Well, a word followed by a semicolon.  It doesn't have to be the same word each time, but there does have to be a word there.  If something can occur zero or more times, then you use a * in place of the +, of course.
The key to the regex stopping is that the aaa: in the middle of the first line does not consist of a word followed by a semicolon; it is a word followed by a colon.  So, the regex has to stop before that because the aaa: doesn't match the group.  The gsub() therefore finds the first sequence, and replaces that text with the same material and a newline (that's the "&\n", of course).  It (gsub()) then resumes its search directly after the end of the replacement material, and — lo and behold — there is a word followed by a colon and some words followed by semicolons, so there's a second match to be replaced with its original material plus a newline.
I think that $0 must contain the newline at the end of the line.  Therefore, without the sub() to remove a trailing newlines, the print (implictly of $0 with a newline) generated a blank line I didn't want in the output, so I removed the extraneous newline(s).  The newline at the end of $0 would not be matched by the gsub() because it is not followed by a colon or semicolon.

A: This might work for you:
 awk '{gsub(/[^;:]*:/,"\n&");sub(/^\n/,"");gsub(/: */,": ")}1' file

*

*Prepend a newline (\n) to any string not containing a ; or a : followed by a :

*Remove any newline prepended to the start of line.

*Replace any : followed by none or many spaces with a : followed by a single space.

*Print all lines.

Or this:
 sed 's/;\([^;:]*: *\)/;\n\1 /g' file

A: Not sure how to do it in awk, but with sed this does what I think you want:
$ nl='
'
$ sed "s/\([^;]*:\)/\\${nl}\1/g" input

The first command sets the shell variable $nl to the string containing a single new line.  Some versions of sed allow you to use \n inside the replacement string, but not all allow that.  This keeps any whitespace that appears after the final ; and puts it at the start of the line.  To get rid of that, you can do
$ sed "s/\([^;]*:\)/\\${nl}\1/g; s/\n */\\$nl/g" input

A: Ordinary awk gsub() and sub() don't allow you to specify components in the replacement strings  Gnu awk - "gawk" - supplies "gensub()" which would allow "gensub(/(;) (.+:)/,"\1\n\2","g")"


I love to be creative. I love gardening and crafting and enjoying outdoors.
However until I can retire, I can only do a minimal of these in my very small amount of spare time.
So I really appreciate the opportunity to find homemade items from such amazingly talented people all over the world!
Fairy house table lamp, nursery nightlight. ONE OF A KIND.
Fairy house lamp, night light, electric table lamp, ceramic, ONE OF A KIND, hand made and hand painted.

Canon Pixma MG5300 Driver Download – The Canon Pixma MG5300 has a thinner shape compared to we're made use of to seeing from Canon, including an one-of-a-kind style with folding trays to lower its overall impact. The printer measures 17.8 inches wide, 14.5 inches deep, and also just under 7 inches tall with the paper trays folded. At 18.3 pounds it evaluates less than its beefier linemate, the Pixma MG6120, due to the rear-mounted, 150-sheet autodocument feeder (ADF) as well as the 5 interior ink tanks. With those specs, it needs to be reasonably easy to transport around the office or home.
The Canon Pixma MG5300 additionally sets you back $50 less than the MG6120 because it doesn't include a touch-screen panel. We actually choose the extra tough buttons on the control board, as they make it much easier to rapidly situate the needed buttons to access a work. The top of the printer is home to the one-touch duplicate, check, and print buttons, however you also obtain a responsive residence button and also a circular dial that clicks as you scroll through food selections on the 3-inch LCD display. You can readjust the brightness level of the display screen by navigating to the settings food selection, and also the screen can be slanted ahead and also backwards to achieve your desired checking out angle.

Experience beauty at its best with 'My Land' by Recirquel
The Hungarian company Recirquel was awarded 5* by six leading critics for the performance of My Land at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Cultura Nova presents the Dutch première of this acclaimed performance in collaboration with Parkstad Limburg Theaters.
In this stunning new production, a woman embodies the metaphorical role of Gaia, the Mother Earth goddess. She remains out of reach of six men who are fighting over who is in charge of the country.
Last year, directed by Bence Vági, the company released the hit Paris de Nuit. My Land has a very different atmosphere with a cast of an exceptionally high technical calibre. The performance is a special mix of circus and dance, presented on a huge sand table that is illuminated from below.
Beauty at its best!
'…electric atmosphere'…'…a torrent of strength, bravery and precision.' – The Scotsman ★★★★★
'….cast of extraordinarily high technical calibre'…. 'Beautiful and inventive scenography…' – Fest Magazine ★★★★★
'…executed with excruciating precision and exquisite beauty…'- Edinburgh Guide ★★★★★
'…you will find yourself staring in awe at the beauty of the piece. Connect with the land, connect with the characters & go see this show…' – Voice Magazine ★★★★★
'….a breathtakingly beautiful, acrobatically stunning show…' – Edinburgh Reporter ★★★★★

The ST sport suspension kit range is a fantastic way to greatly improve your vehicle�s driving dynamics without breaking the bank. ST sport suspension kits use twin-tube dampers with fixed damping and matched rebound/spring rates to deliver a much sportier driving experience!
Depending on the make and model application, ST sport suspension kits will typically allow a lowering of around 20mm on both the front and rear axles. For some vehicles however a lowering of up to 60mm is now possible! Please check what level of lowering is available for your car before ordering.
ST sport suspension kits feature perfectly matched springs and dampers to ensure the best possible vehicle handling once installed. The pre-set damping is not only set per vehicle, but also the intended level of lowering (for example 20mm or 30mm). Each suspension kit features a low friction and pressure resistant housing with a high-quality mono block guide and seal package for maximum longevity!
Once installed, you can expect your car to handle more agile with reduced body roll under hard driving conditions, not to mention a sportier lowered look. ST sport suspension kits are designed to work alongside the OEM components and are built to the absolute highest standard.
Every ST sport suspension kit is built to meet German T�V standards to be used on a wide range of vehicles. These include German makes such as VW, BMW and Audi as well as more niche brands including Chrysler and Volvo. ST sport suspension kits are available for around 30 vehicle manufacturers with over 600 applications!

On Saturday, Louisville crushed Murray State and Kentucky defeated Ohio, but one other result seemed to resonate in this city almost as much as those two: Brigham Young 41, Texas 7.
It was Charlie Strong's first loss as head coach of the Longhorns. It was at home. It was ugly.
"It's an embarrassment," Strong said afterward. "It's an embarrassment to this program. It's an embarrassment to this university."
And for some people around Louisville, it seemed, it was a source of delight.
Texas Longhorns head coach Charlie Strong reacts against the Brigham Young Cougars during the second half at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium. BYU beat Texas 41-7. Sep 6, 2014; Austin, TX (Photo: Brendan Maloney-USA TODAY Sports )
I understand this is not a phenomenon unique to this school or this region. When successful coaches decide to leave and coach somewhere else, it stings the supporters who were left behind. That makes sense.
Still, the celebratory tenor raises questions about the act of rooting for a person to fail. Particularly in this case, where the original offending action was simply moving on to a new opportunity. (It is worth pointing out that much of the giddiness appeared on Twitter, which is probably not an accurate reflection of society as a whole. Nevertheless, here we are.)
POLL: Are you rooting for Strong's failure?
Anyway, Charlie Strong was a model citizen during his time here. He reformed UofL's football program, had great success and brought in immensely talented players. If there was no Charlie Strong, there would probably be no DeVante Parker, no Charles Gaines, no Dominique Brown and no Lorenzo Mauldin on this UofL team.
And I know plenty of fans realize all of that and truly have no ill-will toward Strong. I also know some others still feel hurt that he left, and that's fair. I just don't see what's gained by hoping for a coach to crash, especially after he did so much to elevate a university.
Is it so he might think he made the wrong choice? Is it because you feel jilted?
BYU 41, TEXAS 7: BYU romps over Charlie Strong's Longhorns
A few losses at Texas would not make Strong regret his decision to leave, just as a few losses at Louisville wouldn't affirm that he made the right call. Also, like it or not, Texas is one of the five best coaching jobs in college football, regardless of its current downturn.
Yes, Louisville is certainly ascending, but it's not at the Longhorns' level. It does not have its own television network or a 100,000-seat stadium, and it does not sit in the most football-crazed state in the nation.
And that's not a knock on Louisville; it's an acknowledgment of UT. If a basketball coach left a top 25-caliber basketball team like Iowa State to come to Louisville, it would make sense because UofL's program, as a whole, is on another level. This is similar.
MORE HIMMELSBACH: Could UofL recruiting top UK?
But I guarantee Strong still wants his former UofL players to succeed. Even after he left, he was so proud when three Cardinals were taken in the first round of the NFL draft and so proud when the team's perfect Academic Progress Rate score was released.
Does he have any regrets about departing? It's possible, but I don't think so. I think he is eager to tackle the challenge of rebuilding another program that desperately needs a foundation.
So far, he has dismissed seven Texas players and suspended four others. Scuffling football programs are rarely fixed quickly. It will take time. Strong is clearly in the midst of changing the culture in Austin, just as he did here. And I just don't think reveling in his failures along the way is an especially noble pursuit.
