26. Chase Holbrook, QB New Mexico State
He'll be next year's Colt Brennan. While he doesn't have any
shot of winning, his numbers will be astronomical. In his second
year under Hal Mumme, 45 touchdown passes and 4,500 passing
yards are possible.
25. Andre Woodson, QB Kentucky
Very quietly, at least on a national scale, Woodson was the
SEC's most productive quarterback over the second half of the
season. The UK sports info department does a fantastic job of
promoting its players; everyone will know who Woodson is by the
start of the season.
24. Jimmy Clausen, QB Notre Dame
Pencil in here whoever the Irish starting quarterback will be.
It might not be Clausen, a true freshman, right off the bat, but
he'll be the front-runner for the 2009 Heisman.
23. Jorvorskie Lane, RB Texas A&M
The yards won't be there with Stephen McGee and Mike Goodson
taking away plenty of work, but a 25-touchdown season is
possible. With a few big games against the top teams, he might
be in the hunt over the second half of the season.
22. Sidney Rice, WR South Carolina
Sensational as a freshman, inconsistent as a sophomore,
unbelievable as a junior? It'll be year three under Steve
Spurrier and with seasoned veteran Blake Mitchell (most likely)
under center. Rice might make a Calvin Johnson-like leap into
the national consciousness.
21. Willie Tuitama, QB Arizona
Can he stay healthy and can he put up numbers? At the moment,
he's considered a good leader and has developed a reputation as
a winner. Now he has prove he can stay on the field. He could
turn into the grass roots, underground, pretentious voter's
candidate if the Wildcats play well early.
20. Tim Tebow, QB Florida
Yes, he's more than just a bruising fullback masquerading as a
backup quarterback. Considered the ideal fit for Urban Meyer's
spread offense, even more so than Alex Smith was, Tebow should
be in the thick of the Heisman hunt for the next few years.
19. Chad Henne, QB Michigan
If Michigan isn't next year's preseason number one, it'll be in
the top three as long as Mike Hart returns. Henne has the
potential to be in the Heisman mix as the triggerman for an
unstoppable attack.
18. C.J. Spiller/James Davis, RB Clemson
Sorry for the cop-out; these two will cancel each other out.
Spiller is the more dynamic, while Davis is the better scorer.
If one of them gets the ball full-time for any reason, he'll be
a dangerous threat for the Doak Walker Award, and maybe more.
17. Jonathan Stewart, RB Oregon
The only question is health. When he's on the field, he's as
productive and talented as any back in America. Now he has to
stay injury-free and learn how to play hurt through the aches
and pains of a season.
16. Branden Ore, RB Virginia Tech
The unknown workhorse of a middling Virginia Tech offense, Ore
will start to get more national attention for the likely ACC
preseason favorite.
15. Graham Harrell, QB Texas Tech
In his second year as the starter, Harrell should be far more
efficient and far more explosive even with crippling turnover in
the receiving corps. The numbers will be there, so the campaign
will hinge on beating the better Big 12 teams.
14. Mario Manningham, WR Michigan
If Michigan is as good as everyone will say it'll be, and if
Manningham turns out to be one of the main reasons with big
touchdown catch after big touchdown catch, a Biletnikoff Award
and top five Heisman finish will be possible.
13. Jamaal Charles, RB Texas
Call this a bit of a projection after a strangely disappointing
2006. He's as fast as any back in America, and he'll certainly
get his share of work and exposure.
12. Ian Johnson, RB Boise State
It all depends on his performance in the Fiesta Bowl. If he's
sensational, he'll get the college football household name
recognition Steve Slaton received after West Virginia's win over
Georgia in the 2006 Sugar Bowl. 30 touchdowns is a reasonable
goal after scoring 24 this year despite missing time late in the
11. DeSean Jackson, WR/KR California
A blend of Reggie Bush and Ted Ginn, Jackson will make
everyone's highlight reel week after week taking the honor of
being America's most electrifying player.
10. Erik Ainge, QB Tennessee
Even if offensive coordinator David Cutcliffe is off coaching
somewhere else and if top target Robert Meachem is off to the
NFL, Ainge should still be the same ultra-efficient playmaker
who made a night-and-day turnaround this year.
9. Ray Rice, RB Rutgers
He'll have the name recognition, the numbers, and the media
market to be a weekly regular on everyone's Heisman list. Will
he have head coach Greg Schiano to keep the team in the Big East
title hunt?
8. Colt McCoy, QB Texas
McCoy was starting to get people talking about him as a Heisman
candidate this year before he got hurt in the loss to Kansas
State. If he's as good throughout 2007 as he was this year, and
if Texas wins the Big 12 and is in the national title hunt,
he'll be in New York in early December.
7. John David Booty, QB USC
He won't have Steve Smith or (most likely) Dwayne Jarrett to
throw to, but he'll be a veteran quarterback for one of the
nation's top three teams. Call it a hunch, but USC just might be
able to find a few decent receiving prospects for Booty to throw
6. P.J. Hill, RB Wisconsin
Wisconsin will be really, really good next season, and Hill will
be the centerpiece to revolve around. If he stays healthy, 1,500
yards and 20 touchdowns are a lock.
5. Pat White, QB West Virginia
White was better than teammate Steve Slaton this year, but
wasn't able to generate the same sort of Heisman buzz. Many will
want to see more than just efficiency out of the passing game,
but it'll be all about the wins. No BCS game, no Heisman shot.
4. Darren McFadden, RB Arkansas
Fresh off the breathtaking buzz generated off the second half of
this year, McFadden will likely be everyone's front-runner to
start the season. So why isn't he number one? Four of the five
starters are gone from the offensive line and Felix Jones will
take away several yards and big plays.
3. Mike Hart, RB Michigan
Not quite considered an elite pro prospect because of his size,
or lack of it, Hart is likely to return for his senior year. As
the workhorse for one of the nation's top three teams and in the
spotlight all season long, he'll be on everyone's short list
after a fantastic 1,515-yard, 14 touchdown season.
2. Steve Slaton, RB West Virginia
Is a 2,000-yard season possible? Maybe not with Pat White taking
away so many yards, but Slaton has been a Heisman voter favorite
for the last two years and should explode to yet another level
next year. He has the name recognition, the hype, and most
importantly, the game to be the main to beat from the start.
1. Colt Brennan, QB Hawaii
Get ready for an assault on the record books. Brennan is
expected to be considered a second round draft pick by the NFL
advisory board, but he loves Hawaii and is expected to return to
make a run at sixty touchdown passes. All the top receivers are
coming back, and the Warriors still play in the WAC.

What To Watch This Week on TV: Bear Grylls and Zac Efron Alone In the Woods - VIDEO
Check out our weekly guide to make sure you're catching the big premieres, crucial episodes and the stuff you won't admit you watch when no one's looking.
— "Zac Efron was nervous glancing over the top of the waterfall, his body glistening with sweat under the beating sun. He and Bear Grylls had already taken off their shirts in preparation for diving into the chilly waters below. Bear tried to reassure Zac, 'We started together, we're gonna finish together.'" No, that's not an excerpt of erotic fan-fiction. It's an actual description of what goes down in tonight's premiere of Running Wild with Bear Grylls. Watch the wilderness guru lead celebs into the unknown (and, who knows, maybe snuggle up to them next to the campfire) tonight at 8 p.m. Eastern on NBC. Future guests include Ben Stiller, Tom Arnold and (unf) Channing Tatum.
Sharks, zombies and diminutive dancers come to a television screen near you, AFTER THE JUMP ...
— It's a great time to be a child dancer. First, Maddie Ziegler stars in the music video for Sia's smash "Chandelier." Then, Tuesday at 9 p.m. Eastern, the show that first made her a star, Dance Moms, is back on Lifetime. After that, at 10 p.m., Raising Asia chronicles pint-sized aspiring superstar Asia Monet Ray, as she tries to sing, dance and diva her way into America's heart.
— If only it were simply raining cats and dogs. Ian Ziering and Tara Reid are back in Sharknado 2 Wednesday at 9 p.m. Eastern on Syfy.
— Ever wish Hot In Cleveland had more zombies? You'll get the undead, plus they'll throw in talking dogs and Aerosmith's Steven Tyler when the ladies are drawn together in a very special animated episode, Wednesday at 10 p.m. Eastern on TV Land.
— It's not only a team challenge Thursday at 9 p.m. Eastern on Project Runway, but it's an unconventional materials challenge as well. See what happens when the designers create cinema-inspired mini-collections on Lifetime's premier fashion competition.

It's true that he's a Christian (and therefore anti-gay). He spoke about it on an episode of Man vs. Wild in Argentina.

How does a guy named Bear not have chest hair? This isn't reality TV, it's Alice in Wonderland. Why don't words mean what they are supposed to mean?!?!?!!?!?!
Posted by: bravo | Jul 28, 2014 10:56:14 PM
Merv doll, don't Perv the truth.
Being Christian automatically does not mean being antigay.
Bear had a gay contestant this year on one of his shows the record:
But what really makes the show compelling is its cross-section of personalities – among them a neurologist, actor and call centre worker – each of whom offers a distinctly different angle on modern manhood.
"Seeing as I'm a hairdresser, associate my name with Bear Grylls and people just laugh," says Dean Smith, 25, from London. "Also, being gay, it's harder to be accepted. Even though it's 2014 there's still a minority who think that a real man is someone who's a builder or a plumber.
"For me, it was about going out there and proving a point. It doesn't matter who you fancy or how much fake tan you use, we're all men, we all bleed red and anyone can do it."

*Cooley - on "Get Out Alive" the only two openly gay contestants he has ever had on any of his shows were labeled 'best friends' when, in fact, the two were a committed couple living together in L.A. According to other participants on the show Grylls refused to allow the gay couple to show any affection but encouraged the hetero couples to display PDA so the cameras could pick it up. The gay couple were obviously the stronger team - not just physically but intelligently and when they were pitted against the most physically ardent straight buddies they breezed through the competition. When declared the winners they jumped into each other's arms and the camera quickly cut away to Grylls whose facial expression made it clear he disapproved. The two guys were so happy to have beaten the other contestants they hugged Grylls and again, the man despised the show of manly affection. On the very next episode it was obvious the two gay guys, if allowed to continue in the game, would win the competition - not only were they handsome, athletically superior, intelligent but they were the team to beat. So Bear, the sole arbitrator of who would continue and who wouldn't, eliminated them.
The ultimate winners, chosen by Bear, were a ridiculous father and daughter team (http://youtu.be/06ulsH4JgS8) and roundly ridiculed by the press and media.
Grylls was called out publicly for his homophobia and his Christian bigotry and faded away for several months. In this new show he is courting big name male stars to garner credibility. Efron? Many back stories of his beard, Michelle Rodriguez aka Taylor Lautner's (paid) "ex". Look at the others on the show: Ben stiller (major homophobe), Tom Arnold (very public homophobe) and to round it off, Channing Tatum. All were picked to heighten Grylls lagging popularity.

@Mike Ryan Where can I find proof of Tom Arnold's homophobia. I've always admired his candor about his struggles with recovery but if he's a bigot I'm done with him.
Posted by: Jack | Jul 29, 2014 9:12:37 AM
@Mike Ryan That is all fine and good and I don't doubt that what you say is true, but you must know that if a guy is young and "hot", nothing else abut him matters to most gay men......whereas if he is old and/or not "hot", he is persona non grata, regardless of what kind of person he is.
Posted by: Rick | Jul 29, 2014 12:09:06 PM
Now that is one filthy hot queen's dream waiting to happen! Loved when Zac snuck in a kiss while Bear slept.

After the initial anguish subsides over the destruction wrought by Hurricane Sandy, many storm victims will face another shock: Their homeowner's policies may not cover the damage to their homes.
Mortgage lenders require homeowners on the coast and on floodplains near other bodies of water to buy "http://www.moral/buyonline//#"> insurance. Because private insurers dropped this type of coverage from homeowner policies in the 1960s, Congress created the "http:// /blog click here Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), which is run by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
Insurance companies and independent agents sell the policies, but the federal " //#here">here underwrites the coverage.
"It is very hard to tell you how many people should have flood insurance and do not," said Diane Ifkovic of the state's Department of Energy & Environmental Protection. "I can definitely say that not everyone in the floodplain carries flood insurance."
There are about 41,000 flood insurance policyholders in Connecticut.
But Ifkovic said many of those living in floodplains let their policies lapse after they pay off their mortgages.
"I was at the Milford Recovery Fair on Saturday, and there were a few homeowners where this occurred. They had paid off their mortgage, let the insurance lapse and had absolutely no flood coverage," she said.
According to National Flood Insurance Program, the average flood insurance premium costs less than $570 a year. But policies covering expensive beachfront property can cost substantially more.
That expense is a deterrent for many people who aren't required by their mortgage lenders to buy the insurance.
FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate said he doesn't know how many home and business owners sustained uninsured flood losses when Sandy's winds pushed water inland, but he's concerned that many don't have flood coverage.
A Wall Street Journal analysis found that cities in Connecticut have relatively low percentages of housing covered by the federal flood insurance program: six percent in Norwalk, 12 percent in Fairfield and 13 percent in Westport.
Catherine Smith, the head of the state's Department of Economic & Community Development, said it's too early to tell how many Connecticut businesses impacted by the storm lack flood coverage.
"We haven't seen a huge flood of businesses coming to us yet, but it's definitely going to be an issue," Smith said.
In July, Congress reauthorized the NFIP program for five years and reformed it by increasing premiums and phasing out subsidies for second homes and repeatedly flooded properties.
But insurers who have written flood policies are concerned there isn't enough money in the program to cover everyone with flood policies who will make Sandy claims.FEMA has about $920 million in its flood insurance account, and another $2.9 billion left in borrowing authority from the U.S. Treasury. That means the flood insurance program can pay out about $3.8 billion in claims.
The Consumer Federation of America estimates Sandy will lead to 200,000 flood insurance claims, exhausting the NFIP. That means even those who have bought flood insurance may not receive full payouts unless Congress acts to appropriate more money.

With ruling Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) and Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPI(M))-headed opposition LDF announcing candidates for the April 10 Lok Sabha polls, Kerala has shifted to campaign mode with candidates focusing on social media in the initial phase.
Though the traditional mode of canvassing such as door-to-door campaign, public meetings and wall writings are yet to pick up, most of the candidates have begun their campaign on micro-blogging sites with postings requesting votes.
In the forefront is Union Minister Shashi Tharoor who has posted in the Facebook a detailed report of his achievements as an MP in his constituency Thiruvananthapuram.
He also posted pictures of visiting a temple and mosque and seeking the blessings of Cardinal Baselios Mar Cleemis before embarking on his campaign.
CPI(M) sitting MP PK Biju, who seeks a second chance from Alathur, tagged his campaign posters, party symbol and pictures of his meeting with voters in his official Facebook page.
Majority of the candidates began their campaign by visiting religious heads and worship centres irrespective of their belief. Many also visited community leaders and political veterans.
Soaring humidity has come as a hurdle for holding public meetings and door-to-door campaigns this time in view of approaching summer.
In a bid to overcome the scorching heat, certain event management groups have come out with hi-tech mobile caravans with facilites including air condition for candidates.
Make-shift 'pandals' are also on demand this time, party sources said.
AICC Chief Sonia Gandhi and party Vice President Rahul Gandhi are scheduled to arrive in the state for a campaign, which expected to boost the prospects of UDF. National leaders of CPI(M) and the BJP are also expected in the coming days.

Labeotropheus is a genus of cichlid fish endemic to Lake Malawi in eastern Africa. It includes at least 2 species, each with a number of subspecies or races. Further taxonomic work is required to determine how many species exist. These cichlids are popular ornamental fish and are ideally suited to the cichlid aquarium. Like many Malawi cichlids, Labeotropheus species are algal grazers.
Like all cichlids from Lake Malawi these cichlids are best maintained in hard, alkaline water. Labeotropheus are best kept in aquariums with volumes greater than 31.5 gallon (120 l). The aquarium should be decorated with rocks, although caves can also be easily created from terracotta pots.

Much like mountain ranges, cellulite deposits take years to form and can stand between you and the coast. Tighten your body's topography with this Groupon.
Choose from Three Options
- $35 for one anticellulite body wrap (an $85 value)
- $65 for two anticellulite body wraps (a $170 value)
- $90 for three anticellulite body wraps (a $255 value)
Lighthouse Health's body wraps can help clients lose 4–14 inches with the help of a detoxifying herbal formula. After being wrapped by an expert technician, patients relax as the treatment works to expel toxins and smooth cellulite by cleansing the body's internal systems. Because this isn't a wrap that expels water from the body, the weight-loss results are seen in about 72 hours and there aren't any dehydrating side effects.
Lighthouse Health
The weight-loss professionals at Lighthouse Health understand that losing weight presents different challenges to different people. They work closely with each client to design a fully custom weight-loss program with meal plans, workouts, and supplements based on body type, hormonal imbalances, and favorite Rocky training montage. Each program splits into three stages—initial detoxification, fat burning, and maintenance—and many patients see results within the first three weeks. Lighthouse Health further reinforces the program through office visits, weight-loss seminars, and weekly support groups.

Start - run - type

Scroll down the list of services and highlight Plug and Play - right click - properties - check it is set to Automatic and click on the start box.
You may need to restart windows for it to take effect.

Lets make sure USB is enabled Start - Run
To enable USB services, use the utdevadm command.
utdevadm -e -s usb (should be a hash sign space utdevadm)
Now lets get rid of any conflicting devices
- are you keyboard and mouse USB or PS2 assumming PS2 as you say no USB is working? download USBdeview from here(to another machine and transfer across by floppy or cd or network) run it and uninstall ALL usb devices (except keyboard and mouse if using USB KB/ Mouse).
Reboot the machine and let windows find new hardware and install when you plug in a usb device.

Balancing budget may cost 46 jobs
Cuts needed to trim $7.4 million deficit
Drastically reducing library hours.
Using $1.6 million from the city's reserves, leaving $1.7 million in cuts still needed to balance the budget for the current fiscal year.
The second option, the focus of yesterday's discussion, included:
Laying off 46 employees.
No salary reductions, but ending city contributions to 401(k) plans and automatic pay raises.
Not hiring six police officers, in addition to six frozen positions, and reducing police training. The city still should be able to maintain its current four-minute response time to 911 calls, Police Chief Jim Maher said.
Not buying a firetruck, reducing the number of firefighters staffing a new fire station, reducing the fire investigations staff and cutting the number of replacement radios. Even with the cuts, the Fire Department's response time will be the same as in 2007, if not a bit quicker in some areas, Fire Chief Michael Lowry said.
Drastically reducing library hours.
Using $1.6 million from the city's reserves, leaving $900,000 in additional cuts still needed, or dipping further into the reserves.
The cuts should balance the city's budget for fiscal 2009-10, officials said.
Russ Lane, president of the employees union, said it is willing to discuss salary and benefit cuts as long as the city agrees to keep the union's contract intact if negotiations break down. Phillips said the city cannot negotiate if the union imposes conditions.
Phillips also said that even if the union agrees to salary and benefit cuts, the city still would need to lay off some part-time employees.

Help at hand for those wanting to detox from technology
PARIS – Tired of checking your smartphone every few minutes for new emails, likes or retweets? Do you spend more time looking at your device than chatting to your date? Are you close to a digital burn-out?
Fear not, an increasing number of options are available for those seeking to detox from technology, from wallpaper that blocks wi-fi to Internet-free holidays and software that forces you off addictive sites.
"People connect all the time, everywhere, in every position — lying down on their bed, at the restaurant, in the waiting room," says Remy Oudghiri, a director at French polling firm Ipsos and author of a book on the subject.
More and more people own devices that allow this. In the United States, over half of adults now have a smartphone, while more than a third own a tablet computer.
"This sudden surge in connection possibilities, after the initial period of enthusiasm, prompts every user to reflect on how to continue to enjoy life while taking advantage of their connection. How to avoid becoming dependent," Oudghiri said.
French researchers have come up with one solution, creating a special type of wallpaper that blocks wifi, which materials company Ahlstrom is busy developing further with the aim of putting it on the market next year.
Spokesman Robin Guillaud says there has already been significant interest in the invention. Schools in particular have made enquiries, keen to prevent students from spending too much time hooked to their smartphones.
According to an Ipsos survey, nearly a third of French people now feel the need to disconnect, with similar trends recorded in other countries.
Separate research from the same firm found that in 2006, 54 percent of the French population felt people spent less time together due to the advent of new technologies, a figure that leapt to 71 percent last year.
Companies have latched onto this lassitude, particularly in the tourism industry where some hotels and resorts offer digital detox packages.
The upmarket Westin hotel in Dublin, for instance, gives guests the option to surrender their smartphones and tablets on check-in and provides them with a detox pack that includes a tree planting kit and a board game.
But it comes at a price — 175 euros ($230) per person per night.
Other firms are offering more in-depth packages to really get away from it all. The US-based Digital Detox organises tech-free retreats to remote places in the United States or escape destinations such as Cambodia.
"Some of it is marketing", said Thierry Crouzet, a blogger who went cold turkey and disconnected for six months.
"There are loads of places that are tranquil. No need to book a tour operator that takes you to the North Pole."
The 49-year-old wrote a book about his experience called "I unplugged", after suffering from a digital burn-out that saw him so craving technology that he would sometimes check his email, blogs and Twitter at night.
"I see a lot of blogger friends who are easing off. Nearly everyone gradually takes breaks. We're realising that at the end of the day, it (technology) doesn't nourish us," he said.
But Crouzet admits that as a blogger who was going to write a book about his experience, it was easier for him to disconnect than it is for thousands of people who rely on email for work.
As a result, some companies are implementing measures to try and relieve employees from being contactable 24/7.
German car maker Volkswagen, for instance, in 2011 decided to stop sending emails to thousands of employees' Blackberrys between 6.15 pm and 7:00 am.
And for those who just cannot resist Facebook, Twitter or Google+, the website anti-social.cc offers software that disables a list of distracting sites provided by the customer for a specified time period.
When all else fails, Internet rehabs are starting to spring up, such as reSTART, which bills itself as the first retreat centre programme in the United States.
According to its website, most of those they treat are between 18 and 28, and have checked in because they have had difficulty finishing college due to their Internet use, or establishing and maintaining off-line relationships.
The programme aims to teach participants about healthy eating, getting good sleep and how to address difficult emotions head-on rather than escape online.
The jury is out, however, as to whether those hooked on technology suffer from an actual addiction.
"I wouldn't use the word addiction, I'd use the word dependence," said Oudghiri.
"And it's not the same dependence as drug dependence as you can free yourself of it more easily."

Meg Farris / Eyewitness News
Email: email@example.com | Twitter: @megfarriswwl
NEW ORLEANS -- She's performed at the House of Blues and has been asked to perform at this year's Jazz Fest. A Northshore teen is hoping to make it big in the pop music industry, but she was concerned that a serious health condition would stop her from her dream.
Now state-of-the-art technology is helping her get there.
Since she was a little girl 16-year-old Rici Jo Rachal knew she wanted to perform.
'Me and my sister would not just sing. We would, like, act and put on little shows in like the living room for my family and friends,' Rici said.
So Rici and her little sister Stevie Rae took acting and singing lessons in New Orleans. Then two years ago they entered a competition in Las Vegas, met agents and spent five months in California working with music producers and going to acting, singing and hip-hop dance school.
Rici made a CD and wrote some of the lyrics. Out of that came a music video and website.
'Rici said, 'This is what I want to do more than anything,'' remembers her father, Ronnie Rachal.
But while fulfilling her dream of performing, there's reality. She's a sophomore at Northlake Christian School in Covington. And like any teen, good grades are expected by adults, while the teens expect to be accepted and have a social life with their friends.
But a few years ago when she was 12, something went terribly wrong.
'I was really tired and I would always, like, wake up like literally like nine times in the middle of the night and use the bathroom and have like really dry mouth and always thirsty. And I would like check out (from school) like five times a week like literally every day and I would like go home and sleep and eat,' she said.
'She was losing a lot of weight. She started getting the black circles around her eyes and she just really sick and missing a lot of school and she was urinating a lot,' said Ronnie.
One day it was too much to handle. She went to the doctor, who sent her to Children's Hospital in New Orleans.
'As a parent, you know, I was really depressed. I mean, it ate my lunch because you know my children's, my babies. So it really got me down. I was depressed for days,' said Ronnie as his eyes teared up.
'I didn't think I'd have a normal life. I was like discouraged. I like candy so I was pretty upset about that,' said Rici.
The diagnosis was type 1 diabetes. For some reason, her genetics, a virus, something in the environment or even a combination of all those triggered her immune system to turn on her own insulin-making cells, attack and kill them as if they were invading germs.
'If you want to know what a diabetic feels like, just imagine an uncontrolled diabetic is like somebody who skips meals for two or three days at a time. And it's also if you only drank two or three cups of water to stay alive, and that's it,' explained Rici's doctor, Dr. Victor Pouw, a pediatric endocrinologist at Children's International Medical Group in Lacomb, Louisiana.
Untreated, the lifelong condition can destroy your eyes, kidneys, nerves and blood vessels.
So for years Rici checked her blood sugar and gave herself insulin injections.
'Four times a day I'd have to take a shot and then like I would get like bruises like on my stomach and on my arms. It was like really embarrassing. I'd have to like lift up my shirt in front of people and that was really uncomfortable,' Rici remembers.
But now Rici is using the latest technology called the OmniPod.
A tubeless, discreet pump that she can hide gives her the insulin she needs. She checks her blood sugar with a finger stick and then programs a remote device that looks like a cell phone.
And it constantly gives her a more accurate dose of insulin than injections. She can swim with it and hide it anywhere on her body.
'It's made a big difference. I can hide it easier. I don't have to like show people like if I wear like a tank top, I can like wear my pod like on my stomach or if I'm wearing a skirt, I can wear it on my leg so nobody will see it and people won't even know. It's just like I'm a normal kid,' she said.
And that gives he the confidence at school and on stage.
Rici has worked her way up in the music industry to where a performance coach and choreographer flies in from Los Angeles a week before she has a performance. They rehearse along with back-up dancers before she goes on stage.
She gets the danger of not being diligent about checking her glucose. She's watched her grandmother's health decline with diabetes. So she can't be like other teens, but unlike other teens, she already knows what she wants to do when she grows up -- perform.
Rici's entire family went on the same diabetes-type diet to support her and make it easier for her not to be tempted to eat the wrong foods.

I felt exactly the same, like the practitioners turned up as sheer apologists to the parents subtle but controlling/devaluing behaviours.

Working with those with dangerous personality disorders I saw these same dehumanising behaviours but in forms not so subtle.

My honest belief is that parents with borderline, narcissistic or anti-social personality disorders create such incongruence for children that they can't tell what is real and what is not... Pretty much the same as working with a psychopath for an hour and a half, except I get to go home.

Whatever, the idea that parents of children with serious mental health issues are "normal" vanishes further with each and every case you see.

When talking to such a parent I find I am being told about what mental illness is... yes that's right, an uninformed lay person telling a professional their business. There is a certain disconnected keenness to assert their point of view as if they shout loudest then that makes it true. Reality to such people is so much dust in their wake. I can't imagine a child having any resistance to this.

The only reason we don't call parents "mad" to their faces is because there is no point, your not actually in a "real" conversation.

First, I was abused both physically and emotionally as a child, as were 2 of my 3 siblings. The physical abuse was unpredictable, violent, and doled out because my father felt like it. In my 30s, I was misdiagnosed as bipolar NOS when I began to suffer from various symptoms when forced to work for an emotionally abusive boss. It was later determined that I had ptsd, after many medications that did more harm than good. One of my siblings seems unaffected by the abuse. The second suffered from severe anxiety that he could trace back to the abuse. He eventually committed suicide. Yet my father professes that he did all he could and never laid a hand on us. So, from my personal experience, abuse causes mental illness though not in everyone, and abusers deny it and can be quite firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-55251631702206632542014-08-16T06:55:57.280-04:002014-08-16T06:55:57.280-04:00I was interested in this topic after watching chil...I was interested in this topic after watching children with mental disease and clearly in these instances they appear to come from the types of families that look like they do substance abuse etc.
that's a generalisation but I do feel appearances say a lot about people.
From personal experience my sister is bipolar and although we were told that it's often hereditary we were also told that it can come from bad experiences.
When the doctors realised my mothers controlling ways they then realised that the voices in my sisters head were coming from my mother.
I'm a little tired of the generalisations that all parents are caring and confused about their kids mental state without anyone actually looking deeply into home life .
If it weren't for the bulk of our family coming forth then the doctors would have also believed that my mother was the nurturing helpless woman.

If you've had a childhood of abuse, you need to search your past so you don't repeat abuse cycles. Many people don't go to therapy to talk about their abuse… they go because they are depressed or having relationship issues or struggling with addition or anxiety. If they don't understand their past, not that all root causes are 100% knowable, then they are destined to continue patterns that work against them being able to thrive in life. Also, abuse victims tend to minimize past abuse and hold their abusers blameless in favor of blaming themselves and altering the way they interact with others. They need to know how to live authentically, and they can't do that as easily if they don't understand their root trauma(s). We have surprisingly few abuse survivor groups relative to groups for additions, rape (adult), PTSD (veterans), etc… and in my opinion, too few diagnosis and treatments that fit the traumas that stem from inadequate and abusive childhood email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-14326166341225828052014-05-12T00:46:16.603-04:002014-05-12T00:46:16.603-04:00@ Patricia Jane from Anon 2 The question was, can ...@ Patricia Jane from Anon 2

As a forensic psychiatric nurse in Australia, my observations have been mixed, however a large percentage of chronically unwell people and people with substance use problems have, to our society's shame, been through unbearably traumatic childhoods involving ETOH, exposure to violence, sexual abuse, forced acts of incest, genetic predisposition to schizophrenia exacerbated by this abuse. Then there are siblings who have grown to adulthood in the same household as well adjusted adults, who can't even visit the unwell member of family for their own personal reasons. I wish I could turn back the clock for some of my patients. I do not blame them for their crimes committed. Our so called 'systems' failed. And continue to fail. I will work until I can work no longer to help my patients experience the best life that they possibly can.

Abuse or no."

Sorry, but this is the kind of sweeping generalization that is not helpful. Many people with mental illness or mental health problems who do not have either abuse or "crazy making" behaviors in their past. Research shows that the causes of mental illness are a complex interaction of genetic/biological predisposition and environmental factors. The possible environmental factors for a person with schizophrenia, for example, go well beyond family relationships and include such possibilities as a virus when one's mother was pregnant or having an older father or being born in the winter months. Such possible environmental factors cannot be changed or ended by talking about them. That is why some people really do find it helpful to deal with their mental illness by focusing on the here and now and moving on to future recovery rather than spending a lot of time searching their past. So yes,really, a valuable question for a person with mental illness and his or her family is: how helpful is it to you, personally, to search your past for possible "cause"?

And also does not assume that they have not. A competent therapeutic/treatment plan is based on an individual's personal history and assessment, not on generalizations. With all this being said, I certainly do not want to dismiss the seriousness of child sexual abuse. Whether it causes mental illness in a particular individual or not, it is just plain wrong! I would support a national investigation, but the scope would have to go well beyond parents. Too often, sexual abusers are priests, ministers, scout leaders, choir masters, hockey coaches and other community leaders whom the parents believed in good faith they could trust. Could the parents have known and protected their child? Hindsight is 20/20, and many parents say in hindsight they wish they had seen signs they did not see at the time. Sexual abusers take great care not to be caught and institutionalized abuse, such as by churches or scouting organizations, is hidden behind massive cover-ups that go as high up in the hierarchy as the Pope. What precautions can the ordinary, well intentioned parent take? Public education about recognizing early signs of child abuse -- whatever the source -- and appropriate interventions would be helpful.Patricia firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-9451739825602255912014-04-29T12:17:02.609-04:002014-04-29T12:17:02.609-04:00""NECESSARY", SUFFICIENT" thes...""NECESSARY", SUFFICIENT" these words should be at the heart of it.

However, some things are caused by dysfunctional family settings and I think all families live with some sort of reality in that.

I also believe that each generation has a chance to be better at parenting and stopping the family dynamics of say abuse, chemical dependency, sexual abuse, and so on.

I don't believe that we can control bipolar, depression, schizophrenia, or other such disorders... they are physical diseases.

PTSD is one diagnosis from trauma. Anxiety can also be an either or thing... but watch a baby..some are more anxious than others.

I would think it is both. But not always.

I also read about major infections like mono and herpes 1 causing the body to physically be more prone to mental illness... it would seem right because one of my children ended up with cold sores from my sister and she had problems early on.

I tried to address the issues as best as the mental health sytem would allow me to but the "blame the parent" thinking is well established in social services.

I have lived with depression, childhood sexual abuse, major physical abuse, and alcoholism... I became depressed in my early 20's as a young mom. Anxiety then came and next binge drinking. I also got sober at 23 and made many changes in my life. Counseling. Meds when needed etc. 12 Step groups and support.

I changed. I learned. But no matter what, I cannot control my depression by nurturing it away. I can address it, sometimes need medications, and other times not.

My PTSD is from trauma and again, I can address that, work with it, get counseling and I have not needed medications to deal with this ever.

The sexual and phsyical abuse I can also deal with. And learning that my parents/family did the best they could with what they had. I know that no matter what my parents were like,I would have been the same.

The only "problem" I have with my family was not believing me about being sexually molested. It didn't ruin my life but still...it would have been nice to have somone in my corner.

That is also why I try very hard to help my children. IT's not easy being a parent, but when you become one, it changes everything in how you look at the world.

My depression and PTSD have led to times of being suicidal and trying to do that. However, I do talk to my children as they are now adults about making a better system for the grandchildren. And we are all striving for that.

I think some mental health concerns are family/growing up related and then there are the others that are part of who we are like our eye color. Depression and alcoholism run deep in my family. I suspect that anxiety does as well. Those things I may have passed onto my children in the genes.

My general opinion is that a lot of parents have always gotten the bad wrap for CAUSING mental illness.

Trauma causes mental illness. Sick people hurt people. Hurt people hurt people. Abused people abuse people. Healed people reach out to help others. People addressing life on life's terms reach out to help too.

Frankl...Are mental illnesses caused by bad parents? Frankly, I don't see any value at all in asking such a wide-sweeping, general question that can only lead to gross generalizations and harmful stereotypes. People with mental illnesses are a very diverse group of individuals and their families are just as diverse. We can't know the "cause" of any one individual's mental illness because science hasn't precisely identified the genetic/biological factors that predispose the individual to a mental illness, and we also don't know all the possible environmental triggers and how they interact. A competent psychiatrist or mental health therapist does not assume anything based on preconceived generalizations, but assesses each individual and prescribes an individualized treatment or therapeutic plan. The rest of us should also beware of making generalizations about this very diverse group based on examples from our own experience. If you spend a lot of time in a group where people with mental illness talk about having abusive parents, you might overlook the many other people with mental illness not in this group who say their parents were great and not at all abusive. If you go to a family education group, you are going to see a lot of committed parents willing to do the hard work of supporting their ill family member through thick and thin because these are the parents who show up at these groups, and you could overlook the abusive parents not in this group. Most of all, we should be wary of any mental health practitioner who generalizes about the parents of people with mental illnesses based on his or her own personal work experience -- that is hardly scientific research! The more valuable question for a person with mental illness and his or her family is: how helpful is it to you, personally, to search your past for possible "cause"? For some individuals, this might be helpful. For others, it might be a waste of time, or even harmful, and serve only to delay more effective treatment and therapeutic action.Patricia email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-15096649581252239652014-04-25T19:50:36.487-04:002014-04-25T19:50:36.487-04:00Anon, you're right ultimately my parents were ...Anon, you're right ultimately my parents were responsible for taking me to that church.

My baby sister and I come from a family with a long history of mental illness severe enough to necessitate a psychiatrist, meds and the odd in-patient stay starting in elementary school.

When we were falling apart, off to the doctor we went -- there was no shame, no hiding it, no refusing to medicate when warranted. No lying about it during hospitalizations. Timely and appropriate medical treatment saves lives. My sis and I are alive (and educated, mostly happy, etc) as a result.

I know way too many people with mental illness that presented in childhood who didn't make it -- in no small part due to shame/stigma/refusal to believe mental illness is "real", which translated to not getting any treatment for their mentally ill child til it was too late.

I have two siblings, and I am the only one who ended up in a psych hospital. My siblings, and I share the same parents. I am not comfortable with saying this is my parents fault, because in my case I don't believe it is. Sure, there were screwy family dynamics, but I come from a loving family. I had trauma outside of the family that my siblings did not have, so maybe that is part of it in my situation. I don't think I'll ever find a single cause. I think it's a bunch of things in my case- genetics perhaps, chaotic family situation, trauma from outside the family, punitive & scary religious indoctrination (watch the documentary Jesus Camp and you will get an idea of what I grew up with as it was similar), and so forth.

But, I really cannot look at where I ended up and say 25%, or 50% or 75% is my parents' fault. I just cannot do that. They were imperfect parents of an imperfect child. I realize with others who are dealing with incest and so forth that the family has a much larger impact on the outcome than in my case where there was not sexual abuse.

Still, because family can be part of the problem (and in some cases "the problem") I think we have to be very, very careful about giving families control over adult family members. As much as I love my parents we have very different ideas about autonomy and so forth. I would much rather my sister, who shares a belief system similar to my own, make decisions for me if I were unable to as she would respect my wishes.

Then some of us have our own "flare ups" that are uniquely ours -- dissociative disorders, addictions, etc. My unique trait with the group, primarily, is hallucinations. I have self-diagnosed as having complex PTSD with secondary psychosis. Do I think it was my family that is responsible? ABSOLUTELY! No question, whatsoever. The traumas endured are at the root of every symptom I have. And it's exactly why 2x week individual therapy, weekly group therapy & medications are now undoing much of that damage and restoring me to a better quality of life and minimizing the symptoms dramatically. The night terrors, panic attacks, general but constant anxiety/worries and negative self-talk have finally stopped.

And I have also noted that when I hear stories of "disturbed" people, my first thought goes to what form of abuse must they have endured in their lives to cause it.

Of course the traumatic injury is a contributing cause but there is an underlying disease process which I believe is triggered by the trauma. One incites the other just like many organic medical conditions present in the population.
Once we used lead paint and the intellectual and behavioural damage done was environmental contamination leading to poisoning of the body as a whole.
I believe violent childhood trauma is the lead paint, the effects of the lead on the developing brain cause severe damage leading to behaviour we label as mental illness, mental deficits, inability to participate as a responsible adult with rights.
I don't believe illness happens in a vacuum. There are many pathways which start, expand and flame the fires which is why treatment is complicated and requires a team of specialists and not just one psychiatrist visit a month for med day.
If mental illness was actually considered an illness as damaging as cancer or heart disease we would see it being funded, researched and treated as such. Instead we have no treatment and an overwhelming amount of drug research that has shown over and over again that the drugs we have dont work, have never worked and in fact are killing the very people they are supposed to be helping. Until psychiatry moves out of the 1940's and and grows up as a profession and kicks big Pharma out nothing is going to change, remember there are still psychiatrists who believe Freud wasn't a drug addicted charlatan bilking rich old women but some kind of scientist whose obsession with sex which was obvious puerile self interest is still applauded as insightful commentary on the emotional maturation of the male of the species, Freud of course believing women were incapable of maturation of any kind. There hasn't been any new movement in thought in psychiatry itself in fifty years but their love of mixing and matching dangerous but useless medications has certainly become what they consider scientific thought, not their thinking of course, a chemists who is telling psychiatry how to think. How does an entire subset of the medical profession miss the irony in having to be told how to think by a drug company so they can then teach their patients how to think about their new disease label which they just happen to have the perfect new drug for.......
If the rest of the medical community tried this bs they would be defrocked and bounced out of the profession and back onto their coach with the snake oil firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-78956964239163539922014-04-17T22:41:50.400-04:002014-04-17T22:41:50.400-04:00I'm the person who was quoted in the article s...I'm the person who was quoted in the article saying that I've been told many times that people with serious mental illness very often come from abusive families.

It's never the parent. It's always the illness. I agree with the one Anon that people in helping professions make it very clear to minor psych patients that they work for the parent.

I don't remember where this was, but I remember an NP commenting a long time ago on some site that she couldn't figure out why some kids would be diagnosed bipolar and some not. They had the same kind of symptoms and she wouldn't have diagnosed bipolar (there weren't too many kids that she actually thought had bipolar). But then she noticed a correlation between the diagnosis and how upset the parents were. The more upset, frustrated, and generally uncomfortable the parents were with the child, the more likely the child was going to be diagnosed bipolar. I just thought that was interesting that parents could play such a role in diagnosis. Cuz what that NP is saying is that you can have two kids with identical symptoms, but what gives the kid a diagnosis of severe psychiatric disorder is actually the behavior of the parents/

If you enter "epilepsy 'family therapy'" into Google Scholar, over 7000 citations are returned, 600 within the past year. Not all are pertinent, but a quick scan shows that many advocate family therapy, especially for adolescent patients with epilepsy.

The high-EE findings are old, perhaps they've been refuted. Regardless, family therapy can be helpful — not "needed" — for patients with schizophrenia, epilepsy, and other chronic illnesses, especially those with social stigma or behavioral dyscontrol. Avoiding blame, not finger-pointing, is central to professional family therapy. Peer groups are another thing entirely. I confess that I don't know anything about SAMHSA; I imagine they must anger you for reasons other than this innocuous little booklet.

That's all from me on this thread. However, I'm coincidentally in the middle of writing a post that's closely related, to appear soon on a blogroll near you.Steven Reidbord MDhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-55955582830514200022014-04-16T18:45:45.827-04:002014-04-16T18:45:45.827-04:00Steven, I appreciate your comments. Here's a ...Steven, I appreciate your comments.

Here's a link to research finding a genetic link between epilepsy and schizophrenia; epilepsy is another illness that appears to be related to genetic factors and some unknown environmental/psychosocial factors:

http://psychcentral.com/news/2011/09/20/genetic-link-between-epilepsy-and-schizophrenia/29598.html

However, families with a child who develops epilepsy aren't assumed to be in need of family therapy. Why would some assume this is necessary for families dealing with schizophrenia? And family systems therapy, as it is frequently practiced, is often still steeped in the parent blaming you refer to. What there is evidence about, from a 4 year U. of Maryland study, is the value of NAMI's Family to Family psych-ed program. I believe that, as with other severe illnesses, families need and deserve education and support as they take on these daunting challenges. One unnecessary difficulty they face is the inadequate education of many mental health professionals who have never received any science based curriculum on psychotic disorders. Parent blaming remains rampant in the delivery of mental health services.

Parent blaming is also rampant in the education that peers keep receiving from various workshops; since no national consumer organizations recognize that schizophrenia and bipolar disorder are brain disorders and since many leaders of these groups seemed to have had abusive parents, I often read parent blaming comments from peers who appear to have jobs within the mental health system. At the same time, I've heard from families at NAMI conventions that their vulnerable son or daughter became involved in a peer group and then decided that the parents had done something horrible even if the person didn't know what it was….

Re high EE research:
I thought this had been debunked but it seems to again be flourishing. I wonder about factors that could be influencing the outcomes that link high EE to relapse:
> Everyone does better in warm supportive environments but it's pretty hard for families to be supportive when their son or daughter may have learned nothing about their illness except in rare appointments from their psychiatrist. This education is usually left to the family to provide which is too much to ask of them.
> You must know this research, and was it clear that high EE wasn't stemming from re-emerging psychosis? Most families I know in Vancouver, where our children have had great psych-ed, have very positive relationships with their sons and daughters…..until meds need adjustment, or stop working, or street drugs enter the picture. When the person is unwell, I'm sure these families' quantity of EE rapidly increases.
> We have such poor public education about psychotic disorders (thanks to SAMHSA) and many families have received no education about these illnesses. I can imagine that it can be very stressful to watch a son or daughter, who may no longer be psychotic, but who creates tremendous physical chaos in the home. If these parents knew about the predictable cognitive losses associated with schizophrenia (and increasingly with bipolar according to some research I just saw), they might be much more understanding and their EE would dwindle.

Are we assuming that these family therapists are well trained about schizophrenia? They certainly wouldn't be in British Columbia.Susan Inmanhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com

Filed under: Concept Cars, Crossover, Audi, Beijing Motor Show, Luxury
With the Beijing Motor Show approaching just a couple of weeks down the road, automakers have begun announcing the concept cars they have in store. Nissan has a new sedan concept coming, Lexus will reveal the production NX crossover and Citroën has a tempting sports sedan concept lined up for the Chinese auto expo. And now Audi has hinted at what it has in store.
Revealing only a trio of renderings with no details to accompany them so far, Audi appears to have a new crossover concept in the works. Referred to only as the Audi Showcar Beijing 2014, the brief calls for a five-door crossover with a rather coupe-like roofline, rugged lower body cladding and a flexible cabin with quad bucket seats.
The form bears telltale similarities to the new TT, suggesting that this concept could be a further evolution of the Allroad Shooting Brake concept that Audi revealed in Detroit. If put into production, we could see it wearing the Q4 badge, giving Ingolstadt a rival to the likes of the BMW X4, Porsche Macan and Range Rover Evoque. However, until Audi tells us otherwise, that's all speculation…

People who live in poverty are routinely faced with tough choices, like whether to buy food or pay the utility bills. For the poor, items like shaving cream, shampoo, and deodorant may be luxuries that are simply out of reach. But an effort is underway in Wichita to provide the basic hygiene supplies that many of us take for granted.
Through Walmart's Fighting Hunger Together initiative, a Walmart store in Wichita gave a $50,000 grant to help expand the Kansas Food Bank of Wichita's backpack program.
Debi Kreutzman, community relations manager at Kansas Food Bank, said they were proud of the local community for participating in the effort.
