Both Shrink Rap and Mind Hacks report on a debate about how transparent the process for developing the upcoming DSM-V should be. This debate is published in the LA Times. Those in charge of the revision want secrecy, nobody knows why. It is suggested in the comments it could have something to do with the insurance companies?
Besides transparency of the making of the new revision of this psychiatric diagnostic bible other problems were mentioned on this blog as well as others:

'Jules' - a disembodied androgynous robotic head - can automatically copy the movements, which are picked up by a video camera and mapped on to the tiny electronic motors in his skin.
It can grin and grimace, furrow its brow and 'speak' as his software translates real expressions observed through video camera 'eyes'.
The project, called 'Human-Robot Interaction', was devised at the Bristol Robotics Laboratory (BRL), run by the University of the West of England and the University of Bristol. Want to know .....read more »
