The lewd behavior that New York mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner engaged in suggests he is struggling with more than bad behavior and could be dealing with a variety of issues driving his problematic sexual behavior, experts said.
But doctors, clinical psychologists and sex therapists differ on the role of biology, as well as issues such as anxiety, depression and insecurity.
Fred Berlin, director of the Sexual Behaviors Consultation Unit at Johns Hopkins Hospital, said many of his patients exhibit behavior similar to Weiner's, although he and other experts cautioned that they could not speak to the former congressman's specific situation.
"It's driven behavior," said Berlin, a psychiatrist who has been treating patients for more than 30 years. "People are feeling they are pushed to act a certain way even though their intellect and their conscience may be telling them otherwise."
Berlin said he has treated patients with problematic sexual behavior from all backgrounds and levels of society. People with this type of behavior are energized by a powerful biological force, he said. Other factors, such as anxiety or depression, may play a role.
"But fundamentally, there is a driver there that they are not resisting for whatever reason," he said. "It really is about sex."
He likened it to someone who is going on a diet to lose weight. That person may be convinced they want to stop overeating when they're not hungry, he said. But when they get hungry, they may not be able to stop themselves and end up gorging. The person is genuinely sorry afterward, he said, and then the cycle repeats.
In 2011, Weiner resigned from Congress after he admitted to sending lewd pictures of himself to young women. On Tuesday, he acknowledged that under the pseudonym "Carlos Danger," he again sent graphically explicit texts and images to young women more than a year after stepping down from political life.
Berlin and others said that in the past five to six years, they have seen a significant increase in the number of patients with problematic sexual behavior related to the Internet, including inappropriate chatting, accessing inappropriate images and engaging in virtual relationships.
In addition to making it easier for people to say and do things they might not otherwise, the Internet has become a delivery system through which someone can get access to an unlimited number of partners and sexual fantasies, said Michael Radkowsky, a District of Columbia psychologist who treats couples and individuals with sexual issues. The human brain is wired to look for sex and sexual partners, he said.
"Our brains have all these receptors looking for sex, and there's the Internet providing all sorts of opportunities for sex. Wham, plugs right in."
Experts disagree on whether this type of behavior should be considered an addiction.
The American Psychiatric Association considered including "hypersexual disorder" in its most recent edition of the guidebook that psychiatrists and other mental health clinicians use to diagnose mental disorders.
Among the symptoms associated with that behavior, according to preliminary criteria, are recurrent and intense sexual fantasies, sexual urges or sexual behaviors over a period of at least six months that interfere with other important activities; are in response to stressful life events; or are undertaken while disregarding risk for physical or emotional harm to self and others.
The issue sparked huge controversy, experts said, and ultimately, the behavior was not included in the updated Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, or DSM-5.
David Kupfer, chair of the DSM-5 task force, said the disorder may interfere with a person's life, "but the empirical evidence on the condition was not strong enough to support including it in DSM at this time."
A recent study from the University of California at Los Angeles questioned the validity of sex being addictive. Past research has shown that when addicts view pictures of their drug of choice, their brain activity spikes. Psychiatrist Nicole Prause thought she might see the same type of response in possible sex addicts when viewing images of people having sex - but she didn't.
Rather than an addiction, hypersexuality could mean possessing a high libido coupled with other factors such as impulsivity, said Prause.
Whatever it's called, experts also disagree on other issues involved in the behavior.
"With men like Anthony Weiner, it's rarely about the sexual component. There are usually other issues, like grandiosity - thinking that rules don't apply - or certain personality characteristics," said Rachel Needle, a West Palm Beach, Fla. clinical psychologist and certified sex therapist of the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists.
To treat people like Weiner, one also needs to understand what role the sexual behavior is playing, she said. "What is it helping him with controlling anxiety? Or feeling not good about himself?"
Thinking that rules don't apply to them is a common personality characteristic of people in power, not just in politics, but also in sports, she said, citing the problems of golf star Tiger Woods, who apologized for cheating on his wife in 2010 after weeks of tabloid reports of marital infidelity with as many as a dozen women.
Hani Miletski, a Bethesda, Md. sex therapist, agrees that other issues besides sex are often involved.
"It never happens in a vacuum. There are always other things going on," she said.

Political Party:
Official name of your campaign committee:
Friends of John C. D'Amico
Is there any additional experience you believe qualifies you for the position?
I am qualified for the office of State Representative in the 15th district because I have the ability to work across the aisle and a proven record of passing meaningful legislation that helps people across the State of Illinois. For example, I sponsored and passed House Bill 5056 this past session, which imposes greater penalties for drivers who abuse disability parking plates and decals. This bill, like many of the bills I sponsored in the past, passed with significant bipartisan support, and helps ensure that our disabled drivers gain access to the special accommodations provided by disability plates and decals.
What would your priorities be if elected to this office?
If elected, I will continue to pursue legislation that promotes safety on our state's roads. Too many deaths and injuries are caused by reckless behaviors behind the wheel that are preventable, and I remain dedicated to ensuring that we enact reasonable and practical laws which not only penalize drivers who do not follow the rules of the road, but also reinforce the idea that every driver shares the road and therefore, is responsible for the safety of others.
I will also do my best to represent the 15th district and protect the interests of its residents in these difficult times. Illinois faces significant challenges related to pensions, funding for vital health and human services, education, and public safety. I am committed to keeping an open mind and considering all available options to implement the reforms needed to put Illinois on a path to a more secure future.
What are the most important issues facing your district and what would you do as a legislator to address them?
Some of the most important issues facing the 15th district are:
1. Education – Now more than ever, it is important that we provide our children with the education and skills necessary to be competitive and successful in today's rapidly changing, global economy. Because the state can provide guidance, ideas, and support for public education, I will continue to support initiatives that offer the best opportunities for our students across the state.
2. Pensions - Please see my response to the pension question above for my thoughts on how to address the pension issue.
3. Taxes – Considering the current state of the economy, honest budgeting and responsible spending should be the state's priority, not tax increases. I voted against the income tax increase in 2011 based on the belief that the state should examine ways to live within its means before burdening taxpayers. Going forward, I will continue to stand by that belief.
4. Health and human services – We need to ensure that funding for vital health and human service programs are preserved to the best of the state's ability in order to protect the health and wellbeing of the most vulnerable people in our communities.
Illinois' state government has a terrible reputation in terms of corruption. What would you do to change the culture of state government that has seen recent governors from both political parties convicted of felonies?
The State of Illinois has taken some significant steps in trying to eliminate as much corruption as possible. In 2009 for example, the General Assembly overwhelmingly passed the state Ethics Act, which provides increased protection for whistleblowers, increased investigative powers for the Inspector General, and tougher disclosure requirements for lobbyists, amongst other things.
That same year, the General Assembly also passed legislation to cap campaign contributions and to increase the frequency and transparency of campaign finance disclosures so that the public can better monitor the contributions made to candidates. This past legislative session, we passed bills which we believe will cut down on fraud within programs like workers' compensation, Medicaid, and government spending, and increase government accountability to taxpayers.
These are just a few of the initiatives the state has implemented to help change the culture of corruption and improve Illinois' image. However, despite the steps we have taken, I remain committed to working with my colleagues to support legislation that strengthens taxpayers' ability to keep their government accountable.
In addition, I would support continued efforts by the federal government to find and prosecute corrupt administrators and legislators committing illegal acts.
Education in Illinois is funded primarily through local property taxes. What changes, if any, would make to that funding system?
Education funding is an extremely complex issue that cannot be resolved overnight. I believe it will take a number of smaller, progressive steps to find a funding formula that will not only overburden taxpayers, but also ensure that the funds are being used properly and to the maximum benefit of our students.
Illinois recently passed a significant increase in its income tax, yet the state continues to run a deficit. What specifically should be done to reduce the deficit?
I voted against the income tax increase in 2011. I voted no because it is unfair to further burden taxpayers in the current economy. When the proposal to increase the income tax rate was first being considered, I favored examining other options such as finding and eliminating redundancies in government processes and making government operations more fiscally efficient before considering a tax increase. Raising income tax rates should have been the state's last option.
Illinois' unfunded pension liability is $83 billion. The state's inability to address the issue recently led Moody's to downgrade Illinois' credit rating. What should be done to address the state's rising pension obligations?
Illinois' unfunded pension liability is an important issue that needs to be resolved as soon as possible for the sake of the pension systems' future, the sake of employees' retirement security, and for the sake of the state's fiscal stability. However, there is no easy resolution to the problem. Years of neglect, failures to make the necessary contributions to keep the systems solvent, and the recession have all contributed to situation Illinois is in today. It is my belief that those who paid into the state's pension systems should receive their retirement benefits, and that taxpayers should have a fair compromise that does not burden them with paying for our government's mistakes.
Although there is a lot more work to be done, the General Assembly has taken some important steps to reigning in pensions. For example, last year we decided to issue a full payment to the state pension funds, which have been underfunded for decades. I also voted in favor of Senate Bill 1946, passed in 2010, which has helped reduce long-term pension liabilities by bringing costs under control. Many challenges lie ahead, but we in the General Assembly all agree that something must be done. I am hopeful that we, along with retirees, current employees, and taxpayers, will be able to move forward despite past disagreements to find an equitable compromise that will put Illinois on more stable fiscal footing.
Why would you do a better job representing the district than your opponent? If you are running unopposed, please just share why you are qualified for the position.
I am qualified to be your State Representative because I believe I am representative of the 15th district. Not only did I grow up here, I raise my children here. I make every effort to be out in the community and meet with people from all areas of the district so that I may learn of their concerns and opinions and effectively represent their interests in Springfield.

Posted Wednesday, October 31, 2012 --- 9:25 a.m.
Press Release:
On Tuesday October 30, Stoughton Utilities joined other Municipal Electric Utilities of Wisconsin (MEUW) members, as well as responders from throughout the Midwest, in providing mutual aid to the millions of electric customers without power due to Hurricane Sandy.
Stoughton Utilities is sending one crew to assist in restoration efforts in Pennsylvania. Restoration efforts include clearing downed power lines and trees, replacing damaged power poles, and rebuilding the overhead electric distribution system.
Municipal utilities across Wisconsin received a call for mutual aid on Monday afternoon, and lineworkers had just 24 hours to prepare. Stoughton Utilities joins fellow MEUW members Sun Prairie, Marshfield, Rice Lake, Oconomowoc, Shawano, Kaukauna, Menasha, and Cedarburg, which combined are sending a total of 21 linemen.
Stoughton Utilities employees have been assigned to assist restoration efforts in Allentown, PA in Lehigh County, which currently has over 102,000 customers without power.
Allentown, PA is in PPL Electric Utilities service territory, which currently has 283,000 customers without power.
"There is an immediate need for overhead infrastructure restoration, and our crew is expected to be working in the impacted zone for up to ten days" said Sean Grady, Stoughton Utilities Operations Superintendent. "Approximately 20,000 linemen from across the country have been requested to respond to the emergency."
Shown leaving for Pennsylvania are Journeyman Linemen John McLain and Brian Scheel, who drove an electric hybrid bucket truck over 800 miles. They arrived at the staging area Tuesday night, and will begin restoration efforts on Wednesday morning.

DECATUR, Ga. —
A DeKalb County man found guilty of human trafficking, pimping minors and sexual exploitation of children has been sentenced to 40 years in prison.
DeKalb County Superior Court Judge Gail Flake on Tuesday handed down the sentence for Darryl Curry and also ordered him to serve an additional 20 years on probation.
Prosecutors say that one of two young female victims contacted authorities in October 2011. Authorities executing a search warrant found another victim. They also found evidence of pimping and human trafficking, including videos of Curry teaching people how to become a pimp and profit from exploiting women.
Curry was convicted of 13 felony counts. A co-defendant in the case, John William Anderson, pleaded guilty at an earlier hearing.

Two Way Street
"A road trip with her ex? Danger ahead…"
Written by: Lauren Barnholdt
Pages: 288
My rating 1-5 stars:
5 stars
Jordan and Courtney were in love. Ever since Jordan asked Courtney to go for breakfast at one o'clock in the morning Courtney liked him. They are even going to go to the same college, so they decided to go on a three-day road trip together to the college's opening orientation. Courtney and Jordan were in love, until Jordan suddenly dumps Courtney for this mystery girl he met on myspace.
However, the road trip is still on due to the fact that it is too late to get plane tickets. So Courtney decides to hide the fact that she is still in love with Jordan and tries to make Jordan think she is dating another guy.
But what Courtney doesn't know is that Jordan still likes her too. And that he isn't telling her the truth about the girl he met on myspace. But that isn't the only thing that he is keeping from her. He wants to tell her but he is afraid that she will become more upset with him than she already is.
The reason I liked this book so much is because it changed from Jordan's to Courtney's point of view. If it weren't for that I probably wouldn't of liked it as much as I did, unless it was written from Jordan's point of view. But then it still wouldn't be as good as it is. I also liked that there were flashbacks to before the trip, which explained most of the reason why Courtney and Jordan broke up, the real reason they broke up. The character I liked the most was Jordan, even though he wasn't telling the truth about the myspace girl, it was for a good reason. He was trying to look out for Courtney and he didn't want her to be hurt.
Spoilers ALERT
The one character I hated was Courtney's dad. I cannot believe that he would try to keep Jordan away from Courtney. Sure he was scared that Jordan would tell Courtney that he was having an affair with Jordan's mom but still didn't he realize that Courtney would be more hurt since Jordan broke up with her and that her dad was having an affair?!?!
^End of Spoilers^

I absolutely loved this book! It kept me turning the pages through out the entire thing, and that doesn't happen a lot. I just really wish there was a sequel. I want to know what happens now that they're in college and almost back together!
- Tue Jan 11, 09:31:00 PM
One of my top two favorite books of all time. I agree the changing point of view between the two characters really made the book along with the flashbacks. and the spoiler is dead on. Courtney's dad is an ass and Courtney deserves better in a father.
Yeah totally agree this would make an amazing movie! And a sequel would be amazing especially with Courtney's dad out of the way. But then again it did hint that they would take it slow but it was something real, and that is almost enough. I stayed up til 3 am 2 nights in a row to make time to read this with homework. Again an amazing book. I also as a side note suggest 17th summer by Maureen Daly my other all time favorite book(:

SAN FRANCISCO -- Quite a buzz here in the China Basin neighborhood as we get set for Game One of the World Series at AT&T Park (It starts at 4:57, or 7:57 to you folks back home). The pregame media sessions begin shortly and I'll provide any news that comes out of those.
In the interim, here's some information on the entertainment side that you'll see on the Fox telecasts:
Tonight: The Giants will trot out several of their legends and Hall of Famer Willie Mays will throw the ceremonial first pitch. He will be joined by fellow Hall members Orlando Cepeda, Monte Irvin, Juan Marichal, Willie McCovey and Gaylord Perry. John Legend will sing the National Anthem and Tony Bennett, who left his heart here, will sing God Bless America.
Game 2: The first pitch will be thrown by the two daughters of late 1951 New York Giants hero Bobby Thomson. Lady Antebellum is on the anthem.
Game 3: Saturday night in Arlington: Kelly Clarkson is on board for the anthem. Something tells me no one but Nolan Ryan can throw the first pitch for the first-ever Series game in Arlington.

A man accused of raping and terrorizing women all over the East Coast pleaded guilty on Friday to attacking three teenage girls in Dale City on Halloween night 2009.
Aaron H. Thomas, 42, of Connecticut, pleaded guilty to two counts of rape and three counts of abduction for the 2009 attacks in Prince William County Circuit Court. Authorities suspect he is connected to as many as 17 rapes. He has been linked to 13 through DNA evidence.
A Prince William County detective testified Friday that three teenage girls were attacked as they were walking home from trick-or-treating in the Dale City area on that rainy Halloween night. They were cutting across a shopping center parking lot when Thomas pulled out a lighter that looked like a gun and asked if they had money.
When the girls said they did not, Thomas ordered them to a wooded area behind the store, and told them to drop their bags full of candy. He then took them to a clearing down a hill, where he told them to lie face down on the ground. He sexually assaulted the two 17-year-old victims, but the 16-year-old was able to text her mother from the scene.
On Thursday, Thomas also pled guilty to charges in Loudoun County.
He was originally scheduled to enter his plea in Prince William earlier this month, but . Friday's proceedings went as planned, although for reasons that were unclear, Thomas watched most of the proceedings from a nearby room.
Thomas will be sentenced in Prince William County on Feb. 22.

Locust Grove suffered their first loss of the season in a top 20 grudge match Thursday.
The Pirates dropped to 1-1 after losing to 18th-ranked Vinita at home 54-50.
Locust Grove was ranked 20.
LG led most of the game, and had a three-point halftime advantage.
Senior forward Reed Bryant helped with a big portion of the lead, scoring 13 points.
The Hornets led after the opening possession, but didn't regain a lead until early in the third period.
Locust Grove Head Coach Ronnie Maple cited a lack of focus in the fourth quarter.
"I thought for three quarters we played really well, and then we kind of got lackadaisical with the ball a little bit and that really hurt us," Maple said.
The Pirates turned the ball over six times in the final period to lose an eight point lead.
The Hornets started the fourth period with a nine point run to take a 41-40 lead with 5:34 remaining.
LG was unable to regain a lead after Vinita's run.
Maple said he told his players to come back ready to work for Friday's game at Wagoner.
Senior point guard David Stone led the Pirates in scoring with 19 points.
Reed Bryant ended the game with 14 points and junior Taylor Halpain scored eight.
The Lady Pirates lost to ninth-ranked Vinita Tuesday night, 64-33 to drop their record to 1-1.
The game was scoreless until nearly halfway through the first period.
Locust Grove never led.
Vinita scored first with 4:56 left in the first period.
Locust Grove junior Sydnie Pierce answered with a contested layup, but only tied the ballgame.
Locust Grove's biggest struggle was turnovers.
They turned the ball over 27 times in the ball game. The girls had problems offensively as well, only scoring four points in the first period.
Freshman point guard Karson Maple came off the bench to lead Locust Grove in scoring with seven points.
"We will bounce back from the loss," senior guard Becki Hendrickson said.
"We just have to learn from our mistakes, keep our head up in the game and block out. All in all, we just need to be coachable and know why we're playing and be competitive no matter who we play,".
The Lady Pirates look to bounce back Friday at Wagoner, after a devastating loss.

After serving 32 years in the Cherokee County Fire and Emergency Services, Ray Gunnin has taken a plunge into politics.
Gunnin is now the Cherokee County District 2 commissioner, which covers southeast Cherokee County.
Gunnin succeeds two-term commissioner Jim Hubbard, who he defeated in a August 2012 special election due to a run-off.
Gunnin, 53, lives in Woodstock and retired as the county's fire chief in September 2011.
He began his career with Cherokee County at the Little River fire station when the department was an all-volunteer base.
He worked his way up through the ranks and became fire chief in 2005. Gunnin graduated from Etowah High School in 1977 and received a fire science degree from the former DeKalb College in 1996.
He and wife Cindy have one son Noah, who is a junior at River Ridge High School. They are also active members at Antioch Christian Church, where Gunnin also serves as the deacon.
Gunnin shared with Patch is feelings on starting a new career in politics.
1. Now that the dust has settled, how do you feel about starting this new position?
I'm ready to get started. I have met with some of the county department heads and county agency directors to get a feel for what is going on now and what we may face in the future. The next few months will be extremely busy as I brush up on current and future projects and goals.
2. What are some of your major goals you'd like to achieve? Are there any issues you want to specifically bring up?
I want to look at any avenue the county might have available to bring new businesses and jobs to Cherokee County. I am also interested in working with some of the smaller businesses we currently have in the county and help them grow, which is the lifeblood of any economy. Giving smaller business the ability to grow will in turn create more jobs and increase revenue for the county.
3. What challenges do you think you face as an elected official?
Making the adjustment from an appointed official to an elected official. It seems to be increasingly difficult to provide the essential services needed with less revenue, but I am confident that we will be to accomplish this.
4. What are you looking forward to the most?
Working with the county staff and being able to give back to the citizens of the county.
5. What do you think are some challenges facing Cherokee County?
The downturn in the economy and the reduced revenue will present a challenge to the board of commissioners as we struggle to keep taxes low, but still deliver services. With more than 210,000 citizens in the county, it is hard to satisfy everyone. I will do my bet to provide what I feel is best for the county as a whole
6. Are there any smaller, less pressing issues you want to address?
All issues are important or pressing to someone; it is simply a matter of how the issue affects you and your family. I have already addressed a few issues for my constituents and they were happy with the results.
7. What do you hope to take away from this experience?
I would like to serve and upon leaving my position I hope the county would be better than when I started. I believe serving as a commissioner will assist me in understanding how the local government functions.
8. What do you want voters to know about you?
I will be honest, fair and approachable. I'm willing to listen and hopefully work out problems that will be beneficial to all involved. I am in this position to do the work for the citizens of the county, not for myself.

The town of Clarksville and the Clark-Floyd Counties Convention and Tourism Bureau rose to the challenge.
The two teamed up to provide $300,000 to the Falls of the Ohio Foundation Crossroads Campaign for New Exhibits, which will put the campaign over the top for a challenge grant from the James Graham Brown Foundation.
The $300,000 contribution will be combined with $400,000 from the state of Indiana and $500,000 from the James Graham Brown Foundation for improvements and new exhibits at the Falls of the Ohio Interpretive Center, according to a tourism bureau news release.
The James Graham Brown Foundation's challenge grant contributed $1 for every $2 raised by the Falls Foundation, up to $500,000.
A symbolic check presentation to mark the combined contributions of the town and the tourism bureau was held at the Interpretive Center Tuesday.
"It is rewarding to see the cooperation between the Clarksville [Town] Council and the bureau in helping to push this project over the top," Jim Keith, tourism bureau executive director, said in the release.
The Crossroads Campaign's goal is to bring exhibits at the Interpretive Center in line with contemporary museum practices and standards for the 21st Century student, family and visitor by emphasizing the immersive experience, according to a Falls Foundation news release issued in July. State-of-the-art, interactive exhibits will chronicle the region's scientific, cultural and natural history with the interpretive themes "An Ancient Sea," "A Changing Land," "Converging Cultures" and "The Falls Today."
"We were happy to be able help out in this time-sensitive project," said Clarksville Town Council President Bob Polston.

Many Kim Tschang-Yeul modern paintings reflecting the artists tempestuous Korean War experience are now available for sale through prominent art broker Jimmy D Robinson.

Kim Tschang Yeul is a Korean contemporary painter who still lives and works in Paris, France. He is widely known for his exploration with the theme of water drops and is inspired by Eastern spirituality. The water droplets used in his paintings can be interpreted as tears of joy, sadness, relief, rainfall or even holy water. Experiencing Kim Tschang Yeuls artwork encourages profound reflection. Each viewer develops his or her own water droplet revelation.
The act of painting water drops is to dissolve everything inside them and return them to a state of nothing. When everything like anger, anxiety and fear is brought to the point of nothing, we experience a state of peace and comfort. - Kim Tschang-Yeul
The value and world recognition of Kim Tschang-Yeuls work continues to rise in terms of appeal and respect. A modern-day art museum designed exclusively for the work of of Kim Tschang-Yeul is expected to be completed in 2015. The mammoth contemporary art complex will be located in South Korea on Jeju Island. The museum building is intended to be the physical manifestation of Kim Tschang-Yeuls obsession with the water drop.

In November I pointed to a story about a woman who got ticketed for a carpool lane violation. She claimed that she did have two people in the car because she was pregnant. She challenged the ticket, and now we learn that she's lost:
- Unborn children don't count when it comes to carpool lanes, according to a judge's ruling.
Even after being fined $367 for improper use of a High Occupancy Vehicle lane, Ahwatukee Foothills resident Candace Dickinson stood by her contention that Arizona traffic laws don't define what a person is, so the child inside her womb justified her use of the lane.
"To follow her philosophy would require officers to carry guns, radios and pregnancy testers, and I don't think we want to go there," said Sgt. Dave Norton, the Phoenix police officer who cited Dickinson on Nov. 8.
I get the pregnancy tester part, but guns and radios? Don't cops already carry those? The confusion continues:
- The case set off a firestorm of opinion but Phoenix Municipal Court Judge Dennis Freeman used a "common sense" definition in which an individual occupies a "separate and distinct" space in a vehicle.
"The law is meant to fill empty space in a vehicle," Freeman said.
Not exactly. Carpool lanes were supposed to take cars off the road by increasing vehicle occupancies. But as Bob Poole and I note in this study, carpools just aren't very good at doing this.
One other bit of confusion. In the original article from November Dickinson mentioned that her unborn child was in her stomach. Hmmm.

Problem is I had a box full given to me, with access to more.
Another problem: The "types" or model numbers are not listed anywhere on these tubes.
Some are LARGE and some are just a little bigger than the 6xxx types.
Makers names are on them, fine and dandy, but how is one to determine the type?
Pin orientation, number of pins?
Some have the heater doohickeys on the top, some do not (shows how much I know about them).
They are actually in pretty good shape, some still have a really great condition sticker on 1 side of the glass, but does not mention the type, they just need to be cleaned up a bit.
Just sooooo many types of a certain tube, not sure I will ever know the exact type.
I found 1 type listed and it was a 65x?
I know they are not Television tubes as I was told they came out of OLD audio components with some coming out of in-dash car radios (the medium GE's not pictured).
Theres a bunch of them in the box.

Big pharma representatives often sell more than the newest drug or latest medical device—they also peddle influence by offering physicians financial enticements to prescribe their drugs, participate with a speakers' bureau, or sign a ghostwritten article. Dr. Jerome Kassirer, distinguished professor and senior assistant to the dean at Tufts University School of Medicine in Boston, witnessed these abuses firsthand.
A strong advocate of professionalism in medicine, Kassirer served from 1991 to 1999 as editor-in-chief of the New England Journal of Medicine. He has written extensively on ethical scientific conduct and the dangers of physicians' financial conflicts of interest. His acclaimed book, On the Take: How Medicine's Complicity With Big Business Can Endanger Your Health (Oxford Univ. Press, 2004), provides an eye-opening exposé of big pharma's influence on physicians. He talked with Trial Associate Editor Steven M. Sellers about this worrisome mix of money and medicine.
Q: You have long criticized the influence of pharmaceutical industry money on physicians. What has changed since you wrote your book?
A: I first began to be interested in financial conflicts of interest in 1993 when I was at the New England Journal of Medicine. By the time I wrote the book in 2004, I thought things had gotten worse. They had gotten to the point where a large fraction of doctors—and even a large fraction of academics—were engaged in some way with the industry. I thought this was an important factor in what was beginning to be a feeling by the public that they couldn't trust the profession and, in some instances, where they couldn't trust their doctors.
By the time I wrote my book, I was deeply concerned about the profession and worried that trust in medicine had eroded quite substantially. Since then, we've learned more about the extent of physicians' involvement. There were two surveys done in 2007: A population survey of doctors of the American Medical Association showed that a large fraction of those doctors had taken things from industry.1 Sixteen percent of a random sample were receiving personal money for service on speakers' bureaus and 18 percent were receiving personal money for consulting with industry.
There also was a survey of academics, and it turned out that almost two-thirds of department chairs had some form of personal relationship with industry and almost all of them believed that it didn't influence what they did.2
Now there's a lot more research by psychologists and sociologists about conflicts of interest, and the general conclusion of that research is that even though people believe they are not influenced by money, the overwhelming data show that they are. And they are influenced in ways they don't even appreciate. That is, a lot of this is not a conscious thing; it's not that people are greedy. The evidence is really quite clear that money has a major influence on decisions doctors make.
Q: What was your first experience with pharmaceutical company influence?
A: When I was an assistant professor, I was asked by the company that makes Lasix to give lectures. They left me alone and they paid me well.
They let me talk whenever I wanted to and when they realized I was a pretty good talker, they invited me to come to Madison Avenue to learn how to give talks and make videos. So I went and learned how to emote in front of a camera, and they said, "Now you're ready to go out and give more talks for us. All you have to do when you give these talks is mention this product, Lasix, once." That was news to me! So I said, "I don't do that," and my talks pretty much evaporated after that.
Q: What about when you were a practicing physician?
A: When I was practicing nephrology, I refused to see drug reps. I just wouldn't see them because I didn't need them. I got my information about new drugs from the medical literature.
Q: Don't physicians need information about new drugs that may help their patients?
A: There are enormous numbers of websites where you can get information about drugs. You don't need a drug rep to do that. You can go to the FDA website, and there are some terrific websites at the National Institutes of Health that cover all kinds of illnesses and all kinds of drugs. I go to them myself. And there are other aids, such as the online medical dictionary, that have all kinds of information on drugs. And there's a publication called Medical Letter that has a lot of very useful information about drugs and side effects. You don't need to see a drug rep to learn about new meds.
Q: A health care industry survey released in 2010 reportedly found that at least 20 percent of physicians refused to meet with drug company sales representatives at their offices.3 Are physicians rejecting hard-sell tactics?
A: There are a couple of things physicians are really aggravated about. One is the intrusion of drug reps who make their bonuses based on the number of times they actually encounter the doctor, not just the doctor's staff. The second thing is that drug companies know exactly what they're prescribing. The pharmacists are selling that information to the drug companies, and the drug companies know whether the doctor is prescribing the drug that they're pushing. They know they can influence the doctor through these meetings or gifts or whatever. I think there is a backlash against the industry, but I don't think it's strong enough.
The other thing that's happening is that many academic physicians are now much more reluctant to be engaged with the industry than they were before, especially with respect to consultations, meetings, and speakers' bureaus, because they have to disclose these relationships, and that's a good thing.
Q: As a former editor-in-chief of the New England Journal of Medicine, you've repeatedly criticized ghostwriting (articles written by industry representatives but bylined by physicians) in medical journals. Would you be a medical editor today?
A: I guess the answer is yes. I really enjoyed being a medical editor. It was a terrific job. I do worry a lot about ghostwriting, much more than I did when I was the editor there. When I was editor, I published one of the first exposés of ghostwriting that was submitted by Troy Brennan, who was then a health policy researcher at Harvard, and, quite frankly, we had no idea how extensive it was at the time. I'm sure people still don't have any idea how extensive it is. My guess is that physicians will be a little more reluctant to sign their names to papers they had nothing to do with now, but some of them would be influenced by the money, I'm sure.
So I'm still worried about ghostwriting; I'm concerned that there's more of it than we know about. We just don't have a handle on how often it's occurring. And it's not just ghostwriting of review articles; it's even ghostwriting of clinical trials. If you have a clinical trial by a drug company and they turn it over to a distinguished physician and ask the physician to put his or her name on it, that is a disaster because you just don't know about the accuracy of the data that are being reported.
Q: If a physician signs a ghostwritten medical article about a drug that harms patients, should that physician be held legally responsible?
A: I like the idea. It would be hard to discover, but if it were discovered and somebody were to be sued for it, that would be a wake-up call for a lot of people who are involved in ghostwriting.
Q: A study released by the Archives of Internal Medicine last year showed that while 88 percent of doctors and nurses believed that industry funding of continuing medical education (CME) introduces bias, only 42 percent said they would be willing to pay more for education out of their own pockets.4
A: That's a perfect example of cognitive dissonance. They believe that they can be influenced, but they wouldn't pay more not to be influenced.
Q: The lead researcher suggested that, without any industry funding, CME would collapse. Do you agree?
A: The industry supplies an enormous amount of funding for these professional organizations' meetings, such as the American Heart Association, the American Gastroenterological Association, and the American Society of Nephrology. What would those meetings look like if those funds disappeared? They wouldn't be as glitzy as they are now, they wouldn't be like circuses, and maybe there would be better exchange of information instead of all of that glitz. I'd be strongly in favor of the industry getting out of the business of CME.
Q: You've said that medical schools should train doctors on how to avoid financial conflicts of interest and yet, in these economic times, it's not uncommon for medical students to have $150,000 in student loans. How have medical schools addressed this dilemma?
A: There are more courses on ethics and conflicts of interest. But unfortunately, when students get more advanced in medical school, they see their professors giving lectures for drug companies. Everything they learned or were taught in medical school may not apply in the practical world.
Q: In the last few years alone, drug and device manufacturers have paid billions of dollars in fines and settlements for claims of fraud, off-label marketing, and regulatory violations. Do such penalties have any effect in deterring misconduct?
A: These settlements have no influence. They're meaningless. It's only a few weeks of income for the pharmaceutical companies at most. What happens is, they violate the law, and during the time they violate the law they sell a huge amount of their product, make a huge profit, and then give some of it back to the government, that's all. Until somebody actually goes to jail, this will continue.
Q: There has been controversy over members of FDA advisory panels who have pharmaceutical industry ties. For example, one panel considering the safety of the birth control drug Yasmin had as many as four members with ties to the company that produces the drug. How big is this problem?
A: The FDA unfortunately still allows conflicted physicians to sit on its major panels. There was a recent article in The New York Times that showed the composition of three different panels. It showed that even some panel cochairs had financial conflicts of interest. I believe it's a bad idea to have them there, so I'm all in favor of trying to clean up those panels and to find people who don't have financial conflicts of interest.
The issue with experts on these panels is very similar to the issue of finding experts to write articles in journals. When you look around at the top experts, almost all of them have financial deals with drug companies that make the drug that's being discussed. The problem in putting a panel together is to dig deeper and find people who are just as expert but don't have financial conflicts. It's harder to do that, but it's something these organizations have to do. And that's not only the FDA panels, but also the panels that create clinical practice guidelines for some of the professional organizations, like the National Kidney Foundation.
Q: What role should the government play when physicians have financial conflicts of interest?
A: I was leery about the government getting involved because I felt the first line of defense should be the profession. The medical profession should be responsible for addressing this problem and turning it around. I wrote in my book that government would not be the best organization to make recommendations or changes because it generally does so with a pretty heavy hand. But that didn't hold because the profession never stepped up—at least not enough. But the profession did a few things that I think are very interesting.
First of all, the Institute of Medicine published one report5 on financial conflicts of interest, and the Association of American Medical Colleges published two.6 All three came up with more or less the same recommendations that I made in 2004. And then a group of us got together and published a paper in 2006 in the Journal of the American Medical Association that received an inordinately large amount of publicity.7 It basically called attention to financial conflicts of interest. So the profession did speak out on this issue in some sense, but there was not a whole lot of take-up of the recommendations.
Around the same time, Congress got involved. There was an investigator in the Senate who began to agitate about financial conflicts of interest and I went down to talk to him at one point. He managed to convince his bosses that legislation should be introduced. When the new health care act was passed under President Obama, it was inserted into the legislation, and it required some of the things I recommended in my book.
Q: You're referring to the Physician Payments Sunshine Act?
A: Yes. The Sunshine Act is supposed to be implemented in 2013, and it requires pharmaceutical companies to report any physician who is making more than a small amount of money and to publish this information on a website that is searchable. What that does is force disclosure.
One of the problems with these disclosures is that sometimes they're not up front, they're hidden. For example, some journals will publish them on their websites but not in their print versions, so you have to go searching for the information. And sometimes the disclosures will tell you the name of a company but not much about the drug that's being discussed, so those disclosures aren't all that helpful.
The regulations were finally written for the Sunshine Act fairly recently and I must say I'm disappointed with them. The penalties are quite modest. Companies that made a little mistake would be penalized a little bit and companies that intentionally didn't report are penalized up to about $100,000. We know already from the penalties companies have paid under the requirement that they not advertise drugs that are not FDA approved—those penalties are much higher, and still the companies continue to do it. I see these regulations as being watered down and not sufficient to really have an effect on company disclosures of these conflicts.
Q: The act includes a provision that requires senior executives of a drug company to attest to the accuracy of each report. If they can be held liable, wouldn't this be a deterrent?
A: Maybe and maybe not. It's possible that could happen, but I haven't seen anybody sued for violating the rule about off-label drug marketing, which is in principle something that someone could go to jail for. I do think that lawsuits would catch the attention of some of the people who violate these regulations.
We have to appreciate that disclosure is necessary; it is an important aspect of potentially alerting people about possible influence. The problem is that it doesn't solve the problem. The problem is the conflict that can then produce the bias. It's not the lack of disclosure that is the problem. Yes, we should have disclosure, but having disclosure doesn't make it clean.
For example, if you're sitting in the audience and I'm giving a lecture on a Pfizer drug and I tell you that I'm paid $50,000 a year by Pfizer for lecturing for them, you won't have any idea how to interpret what I'm saying. I might be biased, I might not be biased—you just won't know. On the other hand, if I'm up there lecturing about a Pfizer drug and I tell you that I have no such relationship with Pfizer, you're more likely to trust what I say. So disclosure is not a solution to the problem. It may actually exacerbate the problem to the extent that once you disclose it, you can say whatever you want.
Q: If you were to name three things that need to be done to prevent the drug and medical device industry from influencing physicians, what would they be?
A: Number one, a move by major professional organizations to progressively reduce the amount of money they take from industry.
Second, there should be widespread agreement by major professional organizations such as the American College of Physicians, the American College of Surgeons, and the American Medical Association that physicians should do fewer of these arrangements that cause conflicts of interest, such as consultations with industry and speakers' bureaus.
Third, I don't think that the drug and medical device industry has understood the fact that, by engaging physicians the way they do, they tend to denigrate the profession, and that's bad for them.
