+ - The Business of Attention Deficit Disorder
Hugh Pickens DOT Com
Hugh Pickens DOT Com writes "Alan Schwarz writes in the NYT that the rise of ADHD diagnoses and prescriptions for stimulants over the years have coincided with a remarkably successful two-decade campaign by pharmaceutical companies to publicize the syndrome and promote the pills to doctors, educators and parents. "The numbers make it look like an epidemic. Well, it's not. It's preposterous," says Dr. Keith Conners, a psychologist who has led the fight to legitimize attention deficit hyperactivity disorder for more than fifty years. Few dispute that classic ADHD, historically estimated to affect 5 percent of children, is a legitimate disability that impedes success at school, work and personal life. But recent data from the CDC show that the diagnosis had been made in 15 percent of high school-age children, and that the number of children on medication for the disorder had soared to 3.5 million from 600,000 in 1990. Behind that growth has been drug company marketing that has stretched the image of classic ADHD to include relatively normal behavior like carelessness and impatience, and has often overstated the pills' benefits. Advertising on television and in popular magazines like People and Good Housekeeping has cast common childhood forgetfulness and poor grades as grounds for medication that, among other benefits, can result in "schoolwork that matches his intelligence" and ease family tension. The FDA has cited every major ADHD drug — stimulants like Adderall, Concerta, Focalin and Vyvanse, and nonstimulants like Intuniv and Strattera — for false and misleading advertising since 2000, some multiple times. And although many doctors have portrayed the medications as benign — "safer than aspirin," some say — they can have significant side effects and are regulated in the same class as morphine and oxycodone because of their potential for abuse and addiction. Meanwhile profits for the ADHD drug industry have soared. Sales of stimulant medication in 2012 were nearly $9 billion, more than five times the $1.7 billion a decade before, according to the data company IMS Health. "This is a concoction to justify the giving out of medication at unprecedented and unjustifiable levels," concludes Conners."

Shri Guru Granth Sahib Jee
Shri Guru Granth Sahib Jee is the 11th living guru of the sikhs. 400 years ago today Shri Guru Granth Sahib Jee was installed in Harmander Shaib(Golden Temple) , Amritsar for the first time. Today this occasion is being celebrated by millions and millions worldwide. Many political, social, and religious icons have gathered at the holy city of Amritsar.
Below is a picture of pilgrims gathered in front of Akal Takhat Sahib, in the Golden Temple complex.
It is estimated that over 3 million pilgrims have gathered at Amritsar Sahib today for this occasion.
Guru Granth Sahib is a refuge that a person can take when all other means of peace have failed. It offers a way to ferry across this sin filled furious ocean of worldly existence. It helps a person to live by certain directives and moral codes which guarantee the achievement of salvation.
Shri Guru Granth Sahib Jee teaches us respect, love, tolerance and peace for all. If the would nations adopt these golden principles, all hate, wars, fighting and racial discrimination would disappear forever and we would have heaven on earth!
The Shri Guru Granth Sahib is the living embodiment of the 10 gurus. The first edition was compiled Shri Guru Arjan Dev Jee and written by Bhai Gurdass at Amritsar Sahib. This Bir is known as the Aad Bir or Add Granth. The second edition was recited by Shri Guru Gobind Singh and written by Baba Deep Singh Jee at Damdama Sahib, Bathinda. This is called the Damdami bir.
^The handwritten large format bir of Shri Guru Granth Sahib at Harmandir Sahib in the second storey.
The present day bir has 1429 pages and contains the bani"hyms" of the first 5 and the 9th gurus. Also included is the writing of various "bhagats", holy saints of the gurus.
The method used to write Gurbani is very special and unique. A new set of grammar was invented by the Guru Sahib to write bani. This kind of grammar is only used in the Guru Granth Sahib and no where else. All gurbani was written in a larivaar or continuous format, which means that all the words are joined together without any spaces.
Every Gurdwara(Sikh Temple) has a copy of the Shri Guru Granth Sahib. It is kept with great respect on a raised platform in the main hall of a gurdwara. Many devotees keep a copy to recite gurbani in their homes.
Waheguru ji ka khalsa waheguru ji ki fateh!

DEP Secretary Randy Huffman said that it was "very progressive" for the acting governor to "talk as openly and bluntly about the greenhouse gases and the carbon issues that the country faces."
But Don Garvin, lead lobbyist for the West Virginia Environmental Council, said that most experts believe the federal climate change bill that state political leaders generally condemned would have helped the coal industry and utilities develop and deploy carbon capture equipment.
"[Tomblin] ought to be on board with federal legislation to curb greenhouse gas emissions and to provide funding for research to further develop the process," Garvin said.
On gas drilling, Tomblin said that new drilling technology and the Marcellus shale formation combine to create an opportunity not only for direct jobs, but for spin-off development of processing plants like the one that Dominion Energy announced Wednesday it will build near the PPG Industries chemical plant in Marshall County.
"We are just now beginning to know what this potential is, and I think the governor's people now understand what this potential is," said Corky DeMarco, lobbyist for the state Oil and Natural Gas Association.
Huffman said he was not disappointed that the governor did not promote DEP's proposal for new regulations and a doubling of his agency's oil and gas office staff. Tomblin supports the measure, Huffman said, but simply wanted it to be introduced as a DEP bill rather than part of the governor's legislative agenda.
But Rank said she was amazed that the acting governor didn't urge lawmakers to pass some sort of package for new drilling regulations.
"He never even mentioned it," Rank said. "That's a slight of what I would consider good efforts by DEP to address the problems that we all know exist."

Physician Self-Referrals for Imaging Cost Medicare $109M in 2010
A federal study estimates that financial incentives tied to physicians' self-referrals for advanced imaging services cost Medicare an additional $109 million in 2010.
The Government Accountability Office report, Higher Use of Advanced Imaging Services by Providers Who Self-Refer Costing Medicare Millions, examined MRI and CT services from 2004–2010. It found that the use of MRI services increased by more than 80% when physicians self-referred compared to a 12% increase for non-self-referred MRIs.
For CT services, utilization "more than doubled" with self-referrals, while non-self-referred CTs increased about 30%, the study found.
With the findings, GAO estimated that providers who self-referred ordered about 400,000 more advanced imaging services than they would have if they weren't self-referring, which cost Medicare an additional $109 million in 2010.
"To the extent that these additional referrals were unnecessary, they pose unacceptable risks for beneficiaries, particularly in the case of CT services, which involve the use of ionizing radiation that has been linked to an increased risk of developing cancer," GAO said.

I was hoping to read and review about 130 books this year, a modest increase of just three over last year's total, and it appears that I will probably come in just slightly higher than that number. Considering everything that's been going on in my 2012 world, I am a bit surprised that I will reach my original goal at all, much less exceed it. But, as I look back over my 2012 choices, I'm already wondering what I missed.
But here are a few that I do hope to get to in early 2013:
I "discovered" Sebastian Faulks in the late nineties while living in London, and I have enjoyed everything the man has written since. I'm fairly certain that I've only missed A Fool's Alphabet and The Fatal Englishman, two of his earlier books, so the odds are good that I will get my hands on this one, too. I'm told that A Possible Life is actually a series of five loosely connected novellas that include stories about a British schoolteacher who becomes a prisoner in World War II Poland, a seven-year-old boy sent to the workhouse in 1859 England, a French peasant girl in 1822, and one about a folk singer in 1970s New York City. The connector-story in the book, third one to come up, is the story of an Italian scientist in 2029. A Possible Life sounds quite different from what I've come to expect from Mr. Faulks, and I'm looking forward to it.
Esi Edugyan is a new author to me but I am so intrigued by the plot of Half-Blood Blues that I can't wait to get my hands on a copy. This one is set in 1939 Berlin and features Hieronymus Falk, a young American jazz musician who manages to escape Berlin after Hitler forbids jazz bands to play live there - only to be arrested later in Paris, and never heard from again. Flash forward to 1992, by which time Falk has become a jazz band legend, and a documentary about his life is being premiered in Berlin. Two of his original bandmates are in Berlin for the premier and it looks as if they will finally break their five-decade silence about what really happened to Falk. Half-Blood Blues was originally published in London in 2011 but did not make it to North America until this year.
Mark Binelli (Detroit native, novelist, and Rolling Stone contributing editor) writes about his city, a city that has taken what is probably the biggest economic fall in American history, a city that has little left to lose and is willing to try just about anything to get back on its feet. That kind of desperation is a magnet for dreamers of all kinds and, as the book jacket puts it, Detroit has become "a laboratory for the future," one that is attracting "urban planners, land speculators, neopastoral agriculturalists, and utopian environmentalists." With so little still to lose, anything is worth trying at this point, so some good may still come from all the pain suffered by the city's citizens. I have not been to Detroit since it crashed, but the pictures I've seen of the deserted streets and factories is mind-numbingly hard to believe. Binelli's message is, believe it or not, a hopeful one.
My love of Joyce Carol Oates books is obvious to anyone who has visited Book Chase even fairly regularly. This year alone I've read and reviewed five of her novels or short story collections, so it is probably a good thing that The Accursed will not be published until March 2013. Another good thing (for me) is that I already have my hands on an Uncorrected Proof copy of this massive, 667-page genre-bending book. It sounds like a fine piece of historical fiction (set in early twentieth century Princeton, New Jersey) with supernatural undertones, not something I have experienced in a JCO novel before. The cast of characters includes three American presidents, including Princeton resident Grover Cleveland and Woodrow Wilson, the President-elect who was also a president of Princeton University. Throw in a "cunningly disguised demon," and this one has all the makings of a fun read.
And, finally, there is this new Abraham Lincoln study by Stephen Mansfield. Lincoln's Battle with God detail's the assassinated president's struggle to find a "life-changing" faith despite all the personal sorrows he endured. Think about it: his mother died when he was still nine years old, his abusive father was seldom around, he lost one son at three and another at eleven, and his political and military decisions sent thousands of young men to early deaths during America's Civil War. It is little wonder that his depression had him considering suicide on several occasions or that he would look to religion for comfort. Whether he ever became a true believer was debated even while he was alive, and the author presents a case here that, when he died so tragically, Lincoln was neither atheist nor passionate Christian. His search was still a work-in-progress.

Went in today to have a look - retina screen worked as I had expected with the 27" display. Shame the 13" doesn't share the same resolution of 2560x1440 (it's 2560x1600).
Bottled it with any purchasing today. I'm not convinced about the 13" i7 over the 15" 2.7GHz i7...I gave both a good run today at typical things I do, and there was no obvious difference between the two at all. I'm not sure I utilise the quad-core i7, but at the same time I know the quad-core has me covered. I think the laptop everyone is waiting for is the 13" with quad-core! Either way, I'll wait a few weeks for the new 27" Cinema display! Thanks for everyone's help/advice

Drew goes 1 for 3 in last rehab game
Posted by Julian Benbow, Globe Staff
July 19, 2013 11:40 PM
In the final game of his rehab assignment with the Double A Portland Sea Dogs, Stephen Drew went 1 for 3 in a 4-3 loss Friday night against Reading.
Hitting in the leadoff spot and starting at shortstop after playing as the designated hitter on Thursday, Drew flew out to right in his first at-bat, lined a single to center in his second, and grounded out to short in his final at-bat of the night.
Drew went on the disabled list July 5 (retroactive to June 29) with a right hamstring strain, and has missed 16 games. He is expected to travel to Boston and start Saturday's game against the Yankees.

On June 7, students from 55 high schools throughout New Jersey put their teen safe driving campaigns on display at our 3rd Annual 'U Got Brains Champion Schools Program' Showcase & Awards Luncheon at iPlay America. The showcase, which was sponsored by New Jersey Division of Highway Traffic Safety, New Jersey Manufacturers Insurance Company, and The Allstate Foundation, kicked off with Lindsey Giannini, Miss Atlantic County, as the Mistress of Ceremonies.
In the previous years, the top two campaigns, selected by a panel of expert judges, were awarded the grand prize – a driving simulator donated by New Jersey Manufacturers Insurance Company (NJM). This year, BIANJ President and CEO Barbara Geiger-Parker announced that, in addition to the simulators, the winners would also receive a cash grant of $10,000 to be put toward an "After Prom" party, as well as a school presentation funded by NJM about the dangers of distracted driving. Congratulations to our winners!
A highlight of the event was when NJM President and CEO Bernie Flynn, revealed that not only would the grand prize winners receive driving simulators, but so would the 53 other participating schools in honor of the Company's 100th anniversary.
We hope everyone enjoyed the event and look forward to seeing you at next year's Champion Schools Showcase!
Additional sponsors of the program are The Nikhil Badlani Foundation, State Farm, The NJ Teen Driving Safety Coalition, Partners for Health Foundation, DCH Teen Safe Driving Foundation, The Council on Brain Injury, DRIVE SAFER, AAA Clubs at New Jersey, AT&T, and iPlay America.
The Brain Injury Alliance of New Jersey's annual Champion Schools Program puts NJ's teens in the driver's seat. In 2013, 55 high schools participated and created peer-to-peer safe driving campaigns. Congratulations to the two Grand Prize Winners: Columbia High School and Lenape Regional High School District! This year, in a surprise twist, New Jersey Manufacturers Insurance Company awarded every Champion School a driving simulator in honor of their 100th Anniversary.

That's really the problem, and where they need to address getting the new blood. Their making money that's for sure but their stock is way down and that's where the pressure builds. They have spent a fortune trying to improve the core product they have for search and the people in charge are not getting the job done. Go look at your stats, for me it never cracks 20%. I'm not suggesting this will cure all their problems but for crying out loud they've been at it for four years now and it's no better than it was then.
If you own stock, you're an owner, and as an owner do you see the present results as acceptable after spending hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars plus the cost of an army of workers going at it for four years?

(Michael Henderson)
Well I was born the restless kind
Settlin' down never crossed my mind
Wild and wooly I guess that's me
People sure get nervous when a man is free
I can hold my tongue and I can hold my wine
I can hold my own I'm the restless kind
I've seen the country and I've been to town
Rode in fancy cars with the top rolled down
Comin' down the road like a summer breeze
Whatever it takes I do what I please
I can hold my horses I can hold the line
Yeah I can hold my own I'm the restless kind
Yeah the restless kind
I was born the restless kind
I never assume what I'm gonna find
I can stand my ground I can slip through a crack
But as sure as I leave buddy I'll be back
I can hold my temper I can bide my time
Yeah I can hold my own I'm the restless kind
I can hold my tongue I can hold my wine
Yeah I can hold my own I'm the restless kind
Oh I'm the restless kind
Rough and rowdy restless kind

With a minimal guarantee on a team option for next season, Hamilton's salary is in essence an expiring contract, which could make him attractive to teams looking to add scoring punch near the deadline.

Abstract | A framework for evaluating the acoustic quality of urban open spaces is presented in this paper. An intensive program of questionnaire survey and field recording were carried out in twenty-five study sites representing six types of open spaces in Hong Kong. A total of 200 sound measurements and recordings were made and over 1,630 visitors were interviewed. The acoustic profiles of different types of open spaces were compared and the relationship between the psychoacoustic metrics including sharpness, roughness and fluctuation strength, and the perceived acoustic quality was portrayed in a 3D plot. The influence of sound level and the presence of sound source on subjective judgment are portrayed in a 2 by 2 matrix. Findings of this study highlight the importance of acoustic design which can help enhance the acoustic quality, general environmental quality and overall satisfaction of the visitors. |
