If bullying is an infection, confidence is the inoculation.
Bullies want power over others, and they prey on children perceived to be weaker. But Reisdorph says teaching children social (and some physical) skills can lead them out of the "target zone" for bullying.
How do we teach our children to respond when they are bullied, or even to help others?
It comes through preparation. Children need to rehearse what they would do and say. It also comes with self-confidence. That's why instruction in martial arts, with its physical training and self-discipline, is included in BARE programs.
Chris Gregory, 63, a longtime youth coach who chairs the BARE board, created a program to work with athletes. They have the status of school leaders, and are coached to be aggressive – a combination that sometimes results in bullying behavior.
"We teach them to leave (their aggression) on the field," Gregory says.
Gregory changed his coaching techniques and, as a result, counted himself successful in ways that go beyond winning.
Reisdorph believes even the bullies benefit from intervention.
"They bully for a reason. Something is going on in their lives."
She thinks that redirecting a child, and teaching the tools to be successful without bullying others, can make all the difference. Bullies can learn how to be a friend or how to deal with their anger. She has created a program that schools can offer offenders as an alternative to being suspended.
Childhood is a brief window of opportunity. Reisdorph and Gregory have found that when adults are willing to talk with students about issues that touch them, kids respond.
At every BARE event, they ask students to raise their hands if they have ever experienced or witnessed bullying. Always, more than three-quarters of them do.
That's an epidemic.
Reisdorph and Gregory will speak to the Costa Mesa Chamber of Commerce on Thursday. Information: costamesachamber.com.

Art Display
This month Parker Library is showcasing spin artist Bob Paulson.
Bob Paulson lives in Lone Tree, CO and began creating spin art 3 years ago after he had a dream of creating a spin art store. Bob explains spin art as an abstract art created by fluid dynamics and motion. He began by taking apart an old clothes dryer and designing his first machine to create spin art. Since the first prototype machine was made, Bob started using a woodworking router and now is experimenting with a three foot floor fan on its side.
Most of the media Paulson applies paint to he finds at the Habitat for Humanity Restore and other random items he has found to upcycle. If it has a flat surface he can spin it. He has spun t-shirts, tiles, glass, canvas, cabinet doors, Mardi Gras masks, and even cookies! Bob shares his love of spin art with his kids, ages 3 and 5, and friends of all ages.
Paulson had the opportunity to showcase his spin art with the Denver and Chicago RAW Artists Organization in 2013 and 2014.
If you want to know more about Paulson's work you can reach him by email.

Comment: Okay, so if you want to discriminate, discriminate. I don't see why anyone would want to work for a racist hick dead. Let alone, spend their money at the hick dead's place of business.
Heck, segregation, I'm for it.....a nationalist war, sign me up.....but if you have a business located on a street I pay taxes to support, you have no choice but to adhere to authorities to whom you rely to have a business.
Comment: WRT,"Force one group of people to interact with another group of people in a manner the state deems "appropriate".
If a business is supported by public access roads, and taxes that supports their business, then it has a public obligation to serve all whom pay taxes to support them and not discriminate.
WRT, "the freedom of speech, to advocate"
All these years, and you haven't heard a word? Not surprising.
Comment: WRT ",...but it is the day care center, not the government, that should make that determination. And, if they decide to hire the pedophile, it is their customers, not the government, that should decide not to patronize that day care center."
No. I have a right to live in a neighborhood free of pedophiles working at the only school in town to send my children. Corporations pick and choose employees. Governments can pick and choose the types they hire.
Marinate on that for a second....
Comment: WRT, "If you don't think so, you failed to understand what she wrote."
Naaah...I simply grew up and evolved with life. Are you still stuck in a book?

Justin's NHL Draftbook (2013-1963)
Justin Fisher
May 25 2014 01:44PM
Hello friends,
I've been working on this NHL draft selection database on and off over the past year. I've simply referred to it as a 'Draftbook'. It took a while to build it, clean it up, and then decide what to do with it... but now that it's 'finished' I've decided to simply post it online for everyone to download and use.
So what is it? Well, it's a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet of every player that has been drafted into the NHL since 1963. Data fields include draft position, player names, player positions, teams, height, weight, amateur teams and amateur leagues.
Antoine Bibeau Backstops Val-D'or to QMJHL Championship
Justin Fisher
May 13 2014 08:44PM
Goalie prospects, especially those who come out of the QMJHL, can be pretty difficult to evaluate.
For example, when the Leafs drafted Antoine Bibeau in the 6th round of the 2013 NHL Draft (his second year of eligibility), the reaction was pretty, uh, well I'm not sure if there was a reaction. As time passed, Bibeau's stat lines didn't strike anyone as "amazing", or even "good". In fact, when TLN put together its Leafs Prospects Midterm Rankings, Bibeau didn't even make our list of honourable mentions, let alone our top twenty list.
Blame Canada: Salary Cap To Rise, But Not As High As Expected
Justin Fisher
May 03 2014 09:29PM
Sportnet's Chris Johnston tweeted out this neat little nugget of info after NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman's media availability this morning:
Gary Bettman says a weaker Canadian dollar will put next year's salary cap at $69M or $70M. Had been projected at $71M.— Chris Johnston (@reporterchris) May 3, 2014
The Canadian dollar currently sits at US $0.91. For comparison's sake, the Canadian Dollar sat at US $1.01 back on January 6th, 2013 - the day the new CBA was agreed upon and the 2012-2013 NHL lockout ended.
Andreas Johnson named SHL Rookie of the Year, Will Be Future All-Star
Justin Fisher
April 21 2014 06:44PM
More positive prospect news for Toronto… Andreas Johnson, the Leafs 7th round pick in 2013, has been named the SHL's Rookie of the Year after scoring 15 goals and 24 points in 44 games this season. The speedy winger beat out Alexander Wennberg (CLB), Kevin Fiala (2014 Eligible), and fellow Leafs prospect Tom Nilsson for the honours. All but Fiala play for Frolunda, which is pretty impressive in itself.
TLN Roundtable: What Now?

Cam, Logan, and Steve II weigh in below...

DUBAI: Egypt's market had its largest decline in seven months Thursday after former army chief Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi said he would run for president, spurring investors to book profits from a sustained market surge.
Cairo's main index was up as much as 1.4 percent shortly after opening, but ended 2.7 percent lower, its largest drop since last August.
That slump trimmed 2014 gains to 21.7 percent as many investors, who had long expected Sisi's announcement, closed positions.
"It was more or less expected that the market should bounce reacting to the Sisi news," said Mohammad Radwan, director of international sales at Pharos Securities. "When the news was confirmed, profit-taking took place."
Shares in EFG Hermes tumbled 5 percent after the investment bank reported a net loss of 335 million Egyptian pounds ($48 million) for 2013. This compared with a profit of 211 million a year earlier.
EFG said the loss was due to one-off charges related to acquisitions, changes in the "fair value" of investment property in Dubai and one-off operating expenses.
Egypt's market will now need a strong catalyst to start another rally such as a bold economic reform program, Radwan said.
"Something that is going to catch investors by surprise," he added. "It has to be something out of the box."
Sisi, who also stepped down as head of the military Wednesday, is expected to win the forthcoming election easily as many Egyptians consider him the kind of strong man needed to stabilize a country in crisis.
He also enjoys the backing of most oil-exporting Gulf Arab states, which have given Cairo billion of dollars.

Plot Summary:
Based on the memoir by Michael Finkel, "True Story: Murder, Memoir, Mea Culpa." The 2006 release is officially described as follows: On February 2002, New York Times Magazine writer Michael Finkel received a startling piece of news: a young man named Christian Longo, wanted for killing his entire family, had been captured in Mexico, where he'd taken on a new identity: Michael Finkel of the New York Times. The next day, on page A-3 of the Times, came another troubling item: a note from the editors explaining that Finkel, having falsified parts of an investigative article, had been fired. Nonetheless, the only journalist Longo would speak with was the real Michael Finkel, and so Finkel placed a call to Oregon's Lincoln County jail, intent on getting the true story. So began a bizarre and intense relationship—a reporting job that morphed into a shrewd game of cat-and-mouse. Part mystery, part memoir, part mea culpa, True Story weaves a spellbinding tale of murder, love, and deceit with a deeply personal inquiry into the slippery nature of truth. Hill will play the part of Finkel with Franco taking on the role of Longo.

THE U.S. DEPARTMENT of Justice has approved new district lines for Hinds County.
The lines, which were passed by the board of supervisors in early 2011, will now be implemented....
Northsiders recently had a chance to tell Jackson city leaders what they wanted in new ward lines.
And the majority said they wanted to stay in their respective districts and keep their communities of interest together.
POPULATIONS are shifting in Madison County, and the school board's redistricting plan reflects that.
Late last month, the Madison County School Board approved a plan redrawing their district lines based on 2010 census data.

Ulpana – miscarriage of justice
JEWISH ACTIVISTS in front of Ulpana 370.
(photo credit:REUTERS)
Last week's struggle over the Bet El neighborhood called Ulpana exposed a
massive judicial and administrative failure involving the State Prosecutor, the
Civil Administration and ultimately the High Court of Justice.This saga
began in 2007 when Harbi (Harvey Ibrahim Mustafa) Hasen, a Ramallahborn US
citizen and current resident of the Palestinian Authority-administered town of
Dura al-Qara, near Bet El, applied to register land. Assisted by Peace Now and
Yesh Din, Hasen claimed that he had inherited property in Bet El from his
father. He brought as proof a document from a Shariah court in Ramallah. The
Civil Administration accepted Hasen's claim without the presentation of a will,
without verifying who owned the land and without questioning Hasen's rights of
inheritance.Hasen apparently claimed rights to succession, but the
Succession Order could not have settled competing rights to the property, not
only between Arabs and Jews, but family members as well, particularly if all of
the putative owners did not participate in the proceedings.Under
prevailing land laws based on Ottoman, British and Jordanian procedures, if the
original owner was given state land (called Miri) but did not use the land or
pay taxes, the land reverts back to the state. Title to such land could not be
transferred without approval of the state.The underlying question is
whether the claimant's father had rights in the property.What was the
basis for the original ownership claim? If the testator/decedent had no rights
in the property, or those rights had expired, then his successor could not have
had any. These questions were never asked and therefore never decided by state
institutions, or courts.SPOKESPEOPLE FOR Bet El claim that the community
bought the land from someone who claimed to be the owner. The question of
ownership is currently in the Magistrates Court – the only judicial body
mandated to decide such questions. Because of the High Court's decision,
however, that proceeding is now irrelevant.Assisted again by Peace Now
and Yesh Din, Hasen petitioned the High Court for possession.The State
Prosecutor agreed that the land belonged to Hasen and demanded the removal of
the buildings. Since the High Court does not deal with questions of evidence and
Hasen's claim was unchallenged, the court ruled in May 2011 that buildings on
the disputed land should be demolished.THE SUPREME Court could have
postponed the demolition order on equitable grounds to allow the government and
the current occupants time to resolve the matter. There was no need for
immediate compliance.Similar cases in which claims that Jews had built
on "private Palestinian land" were resolved when the High Court ruled that
compensation be paid to the alleged owner and allowed the buildings to
remain.Lost in debates over Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's
maneuvering around proposed legislation to legalize and protect Jewish
neighborhoods slated for destruction is what appears to be essentially a legal
and judicial fraud.Misled by the State Prosecutor, the High Court's
decisions, therefore, in the case of Ulpana and other disputed areas were based
on misinformation. Since the court was aware of probable discrepancies, however,
and did not seek an opinion from the lower court, or all affected parties, the
High Court is also culpable.When the State Prosecution appealed to the
High Court for a re-hearing in May, 2012, they did so on technical grounds,
rather than admit that they had misrepresented the interests of the state. A
panel of three justices – all of whom oppose Jewish settlement – refused. And
there is no procedure to appeal.This explains why Knesset legislation is
needed to provide a legal remedy in such cases.MK Uri Ariel, head of the
Knesset's State Control Committee, has asked the Comptroller to investigate the
Ulpana affair, but it is doubtful that anyone can change the existing judicial
system without a thorough investigation and Knesset legislation.Land
disputes must be resolved by courts, not by bureaucrats.One procedural
recommendation might be to restrict the High Court from hearing cases involving
land ownership disputes without prior examination and decision regarding
evidence by a lower court. Another would be legislation setting strict standing
requirements for petitioners to the High Court.Allowing individuals and
NGOs to circumvent judicial procedures by petitioning the High Court abuses the
judicial system.Tighter supervision and accountability from every part
of the judicial structure is essential.If the rule of law and the
reputation of the High Court mean anything, they must be based on justice.
Unless this criterion is upheld, the High Court's decisions regarding places
like Ulpana, Migron, Givat Assaf and Amona will continue to undermine not only
the judicial system, but Israel's ethos.Having made a wrong decision,
misled by the State Prosecutor, the High Court should have the integrity to
admit their mistake, revisit this case and enable a just and humanitarian
solution.The author is a PhD historian, writer and journalist.

May 28, 2012Repetitive gameplay, unbalanced combat, a predictable and agonizingly cliche story, a pointless karma system, and tedious (and sometimes broken) side quests make Fable: The Lost Chapters an often boring and entirely passable RPG.
Nov 30, 2013I followed Fable from the time Peter Molyneux began over-hyping it years before it was ever released. I was so excited to be playing a RPG that developed and grew. Where decisions were difficult and must be lived with for the rest of your life. All those things were a bunch of lies. This game is horrendous. You live a whole life in under a day of game time. You can beat this game in 8 hours, 8 hours! A RPG that took 4 years to make and none of the promised content present. Please never purchase a Peter Molyneux game. After all the lies gamers suffered from Black and White, Fable was the final straw for me.… Expand
A very accessible and pretty RPG. Perhaps it could benefit from added complexity and higher difficulty.
You can see for yourself that Fable has damn fine looking graphics. The attention to detail can not really be underestimated in this respect. The character models look brilliant and the aesthetic changes in your hero's look over time add just that little bit extra to the game's finesse.

Johannesburg, So...
I craved a red pair of pants in my wardrobe. I have made pants before but there's always a learning curve.
This project however became the one of horrors. First I had sewed a size 42. It was huge. One day I will learn to properly measure patterns flat. But for now I will go the route via trial and error.
Narrow trousers? I think not. Had to narrow it a substantial amount to fit it. The pockets feel really awkward. Next time I will make a smaller size with a forward pocket and some back pockets too.
Red soft stretch denim. Would be perfect for leggings. It had a generous amount of width-wise stretch.
Apr 30, 2013, 06.55 PMby Laura McWethy
I've been meaning to make these pants, but have only gotten around to cutting out the pattern so far, not the fabric. I'm glad I read this first, and will make them in a smaller size! Thanks for the advice!
Apr 30, 2013, 05.58 PMby kah
I made a pair of these trousers and chose the size according to my measurements and the size chart. They also were HUGE . I was terribly disappointing. I will have to try again but at least two sizes down.

First Relief, Then Tracing the Roots of Bloody Har Nof Attack
J.J. Goldberg--News of terrorist attacks in Israel can strike us in many different ways. For some the first reaction is anguish; for others it's rage. There are those who look on with mixed feelings, horrified at the bloodshed yet wanting to understand what drives the killers to such crimes. For still others, it's that very ambivalence of the onlookers that most infuriates.dn

Netanyahu`s "battle for Jerusalem " can`t end well for any of us
Philip Weiss - Mondoweiss "Calling Jews to put aside their little differences and take up arms for the "battle for Jerusalem" is a vision of holy war, with fascistic trimmings. The words "battle for Jerusalem" recall the Battle of Algiers in the late 1950s, a similar contest between overwhelming military force and terrorist attacks. And we know how that turned out, in a zero sum game, in which the colonizers felt they had to leave Algeria in 1962, even colonizers who'd been there several generations." ca
Israeli security defends Abbas
Ben Caspit - Al-Monitor "Yoram Cohen, the head of Shin Bet,...appeared before the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee of the Knesset and was asked about this issue on Nov. 18. Cohen remarked that Abbas does not encourage terrorism, not openly and not "under the table." Knesset members from the left leaked his testimony to the media. They forgot to mention the other part of his testimony, which dealt with the issue of East Jerusalem and Temple Mount. On this issue, Abbas does, in fact, show radicalization in the last few months, especially in his rhetoric." ca

Coroner's office: Pack of dogs killed Wyoming woman
RIVERTON (AP) — A pack of dogs attacked and killed a member of the Eastern Shoshone Tribe on a reservation in central Wyoming, officials said Monday.
The announcement about the cause of death of 40-year-old Deanne Lynn Coando of Fort Washakie left some tribal officials shocked and skeptical.
"The tribes have ordinances and deal with dogs running around as any government does," said Kimberly Varilek, attorney general of the Eastern Shoshone Tribe, which shares the roughly 2 million acre Wind River Indian Reservation with the Northern Arapaho Tribe.
"It's not really been an issue. We've not had a series of dog attacks or anything like that against people," Varilek said.
She said it was the first time anyone with her tribe had heard about such an attack, and it was unclear where the dogs might have come from.
Mark Stratmoen, chief deputy Fremont County coroner, said Coando died at a Riverton hospital of hypothermia and loss of blood. He said that she suffered serious injuries suffered in the attack on Wednesday and that no one witnessed the attack.
Officials urged the public to watch for aggressive dogs and report problems to law enforcement.
The investigation into the death of Coando was continuing. Stratmoen said he was not aware of any other fatal dog attacks in the area.
Varilek believes reservation residents were more surprised than worried.
"There may be some skepticism, because it's so unheard of," Varilek said.
Sergio Maldonado Sr., a member of the Northern Arapaho Tribe, said he had not heard of any issues on the reservation regarding packs of dogs threatening people.
"I don't mind sharing with you my observation that we have too many dogs on the reservation. Probably cats, too," Maldonado said, adding that it's common to see dogs that are hungry and cold.
"It's not a problem safety-wise for people and livestock," he said. "I haven't heard of anything like that."
He said vets offered free spaying and neutering services over the weekend and a number of people participated.
Report on tribal youth and violence urges action
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — American Indian and Alaska Native children are exposed to violence at rates higher than any other social group in the nation, according to a new report that urges creation of a new Native American affairs office, additional federal funding and other measures to combat the problem.
The report released Tuesday by a U.S. Department of Justice advisory committee reflects information gathered at public hearings across the country in 2013 and 2014.
"We discovered something we'd known when we started — that this is an urgent problem that needs to be addressed," committee co-chair and former U.S. Sen. Byron Dorgan of North Dakota said during a teleconference.
Based on the public input and research, the committee assessed the effects of violence on tribal youth and came up with an action plan.
The report's goal is to be a catalyst for action by Congress and the Obama administration, said Dorgan, who served as chairman of the Senate Indian Affairs Committee until his retirement in 2010.
"State and federal governments must recognize and respect the primacy of tribal governments," the report said.
According to the report, exposure to violence results in American Indian and Alaska Native children experiencing post-traumatic stress at three times the rate of the non-Native population. The task force compared the level of stress to that of veterans returning from Afghanistan and Iraq.
The study says 75 percent of deaths among indigenous children between the ages of 12 and 20 are caused by violence, including homicides and suicides.
Alaska Native children were singled out as having the worst conditions systemically for various reasons including Alaska's vastness, remoteness and steep transportation costs, along with a lack of respect for tribal sovereignty.
Among recommendations specific to the state, the report urges that more sovereignty be granted to Alaska Native tribes. Currently the only reservation in the state is the community of Metlakatla, in southeast Alaska.
A key recommendation in the report is to establish a White House Native American affairs office to coordinate services affecting children, among other things.
The committee also said increased mandatory funding and coordination between tribal, federal and state governments are crucial to reversing the trend. The funding process also should be streamlined and less administratively burdensome, task force members said.
"We all have to come together to make this work," said committee member Valerie Davidson, with the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium.
Dorgan said it's difficult to predict how such recommendations as creating a new office to deal with the problem will be received in the new Republican-led Congress.
"I think the series of recommendations in this report about children exposed to violence and about the help that we need to provide for these children will fall on the ears of Republicans and Democrats," he said. "They must care about children."
The recommendations are a step forward in helping Native American children receive opportunities to succeed, said U.S. Sen. Heidi Heitkamp, a North Dakota Democrat and member of the Senate Indian Affairs Committee.
"Native children dealing with the dire effects of exposure to violence has truly reached pandemic levels — and it requires our immediate attention," Heitkamp said in a statement.
Film celebrating life of tribal leader released
TULSA, Okla. (AP) — A film celebrating the life of the late Cherokee Nation Principal Chief Wilma Mankiller is being released on DVD and on iTunes.
Officials involved with the film, "The Cherokee Word for Water,'' released the film Tuesday in celebration of Native American Heritage Month.
The film tells the story of how Mankiller and her husband, Charlie Soap, convince the impoverished Cherokee community of Bell to lay 18 miles of waterline across challenging terrain — entirely through their own volunteer labor.
The Bell project propelled Mankiller to her election as the first female principal chief of the Cherokees, and as a globally recognized Indigenous leader.
In 1998, then-President Bill Clinton honored Mankiller with the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Mankiller died in 2010.

By Sachin Trivedi | June 12, 2014 4:50 PM EST
For readers who are considering buying the LG G3 or the Samsung Galaxy S5, here is a specs and price comparison between the two devices in Australia. The comparison could help readers make an informed decision.
Models pose for photographs with LG Electronics' flagship G3 high-end smartphone at its unveiling ceremony in Seoul May 28, 2014. South Korea's LG Electronics Inc launched a revamped version of its flagship G3 high-end smartphone at a discount to its predecessor model on Wednesday and said it would ship more than 10 million units to improve its ailing handset business.
Display and Design
The LG G3 comes with a 5.5-inch True HD-IPS + LCD capacitive touch screen, rendering 1,440 x 2,560 pixel resolution. Its QHD display is one of the first in the market. The G3's display trumps that of the Galaxy S5 which comes with a 5.1-inch Super AMOLED capacitive touch screen, rendering 1,080 x 1,920 pixel resolution.
The LG G3 comes with 146.3 x 74.6 x 8.9 mm dimensions and weighs 149 g. The Samsung Galaxy S5 comes with 142 x 72.5 x 8.1 mm dimensions and weighs 145 g.
A user's preference will determine which among the two devices, which are both made of plastic, is better in terms of design.
Hardware and Operating System
Although there were some rumours the devices would be using the latest Snapdragon 805 chipset, both smartphone manufacturers chose to use the Snapdragon 801 chipset. The LG G3 is equipped with a 2.5-GHz quad-core Krait 400 processor, while the Samsung Galaxy S5 comes with a 2.5-GHz quad-core Krait 400 processor.
The LG G3 comes with 16 GB of internal memory, which can be expanded by up to 128 GB using a microSD card. On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy S5 comes in two variants with 16 and 32 GB internal memory, which can be expanded by up to 128 GB using a microSD card.
Both devices run on the Android KitKat operating system and 2 GB of RAM.
The LG G3 sports a 13-MP primary camera with phase detection/laser autofocus, optical image stabilisation and dual-LED flash. The secondary camera on the device is 2.1 MP. Meanwhile, the Samsung Galaxy S5 sports a 16-MP primary camera with phase detection autofocus and LED flash. The secondary camera on the device is 2 MP.
The LG G3 comes with Li-ion 3,000-mAh battery and the Samsung Galaxy S5 comes with a Li-ion 2,800-mAh battery.
Price in Australia
The LG G3 16 GB 4G LTE is priced at around AU$799.95 and the Samsung Galaxy S5 16 GB 4G LTE is priced at around AU$719.95 in Australia.

Ah, then maybe I should ask - what was the thought in making the refit 415 metres (1361 feet)? Or was this in turn related to the new size of the Excelsior?

REASON 72: Obama signed the Weapons Systems Acquisition Reform Act, a bipartisan bill that brings greater accountability to American defense spending.As an immigrant who grew up on the threshold of war, I believe in a government's responsibility to protect the freedoms, rights, and safety of its people. But I also believe that fear-mongering is the greatest sin an administration can commit—that encouraging intolerance and assuming a preemptively defensive posture in the face of every disagreement only deepens the divide between a country and its allies and opponents alike. Sacrificing our economy in the hopes of outwitting, outnumbering, and outgunning potential enemies is the surest way to call them to conflict. By signing the Weapons Systems Acquisition Reform Act, a bipartisan bill that brings greater accountability to American defense spending, President Obama not only established a mechanism that preserves billions of taxpayer dollars, cutting unnecessary spending and refining the government's weapons acquisition system, but he extended a hand to the rest of the world. He demonstrated that Americans have faith in humanity, rationality, and understanding.

Last week, I wrote about alternative therapies for post-traumatic stress disorder and got a number of very interesting responses. We'll delve into some profoundly troubling research and some promising future remedies in the next few weeks.
But today's column is about one of the therapies I mentioned last week, a small hand-held device called Alpha-Stim that clips onto each earlobe and blows an alpha wave across the brain. The alpha wave, the same wave produced during deep meditation, calms hyper-active patients and allows them to sleep. I saw it used at the Rimrock Foundation in Billings, Montana, where the founders raved about it.
But my column drew an anguished blast from Dr. Daniel Kirsch, chairman of the board of Electromedical Products International, which produces Alpha-Stim. He charged that the federal Food and Drug Administration has been trying to shut down his product and others like it, which are called cranial electrotherapy stimulation (CES) devices, even though they've been safely used by thousands of patients over the past 40 years.
