my name is Marius and I will be assisting you with your Malware related problems.
Before we move on, please read the following points carefully.

Sorry for taking such a long time to reply, I haven't had internet access the past few days. I've downloaded the file and am going to run it here soon. Thanks for your reply, by the way.
Posted 14 July 2013 - 07:52 PM
OK, I started up the computer and started up rootkit scanner, and about ten seconds in, it closes and I receive a notification saying "File is infected by W32/Blaster.worm. Please activate Internet Security to protect your computer."
Posted 14 July 2013 - 08:10 PM
After trying the scan again, it was scanning for around 5 minutes before another FBI Warning came up and locked the computer. I shut it off, and I'm not going to touch it until you reply.

Coming Soon: ArtLens 2.0
Watch for the new ArtLens 2.0 app, premiering in May 2016! We're making ArtLens much lighter & smaller, so it downloads faster and takes up much less space on your device. The ArtLens interface will be cleaner and more intuitive, and when you're at the museum, wayfinding will be smoother and more accurate. You'll also enjoy a wealth of new content about artworks on view. ArtLens 2.0 will be the must-have application for anybody with an interest in the masterpieces in the Cleveland Museum of Art's collection. The Cleveland Museum of Art's free award-winning ArtLens app is made possible through the generous support of the Swagelok Company, a global leader in fluid systems manufacturing and technology headquartered in Solon, OH.
What is ArtLens?
ArtLens is an app developed by the Cleveland Museum of Art that allows you to explore works in the permanent collection both at the museum and from home. ArtLens allows you to personalize your experience of the museum's world-class collection and explore layers of interpretive content for artworks in Gallery One—CMA's innovative gallery that integrates art, technology, and interpretation—as well as for featured artworks throughout the museum's permanent collection and selected exhibition galleries. In the galleries, visitors can scan artworks using ArtLens to reveal additional interpretive content and select artworks to share via the award-winning Collection Wall in Gallery One.
ArtLens is available for download to your iPad 3+ (iOS7+), iPhone 4S+ (iOS7+), or Android device (4.3+ and up) for free, in the iTunes App Store and on Google Play. Once you've downloaded ArtLens to your device, launch the app. The first time you launch ArtLens, it may take 10 or more minutes to install and upload the entire collection; this will provide a more streamlined experience. We promise it's worth the wait!
Tip: Download and launch your application before visiting the museum, so you can begin immediately when you arrive.
Help/Questions: galleryone [at] clevelandart.org (subject: ArtLens%20question) (Email us!)
The application has five main features:
- Near You Now (iPad) | Galleries (iPhone/Android)—Using the museum's indoor wayfinding technology, you can discover artworks in the collection that have expanded interpretive content, including video, in any gallery. You can also use this feature to browse the museum's collection and create a path to explore artworks that interest you most.
- Scanning—Employing innovative image-recognition software, ArtLens can recognize artworks in the collection seamlessly, offering access to additional interpretive content. A special icon indicates which artworks have this feature:
- Today (iPad) | Museum (iPhone/Android)—also includes restrooms, restaurant, exits. Get a daily snapshot of exhibitions and events occurring at the museum.
- Favorites (iPad) | You (iPhone/Android)—Save favorite works of art and share through Facebook, Twitter, text, and email. You can also create personalized tours which can be shared with other visitors.
- Tours—Select from both museum-created and visitor-created tours. The mapping feature in ArtLens helps visitors locate specific artworks and navigate tours.
The smartphone versions of the ArtLens application also include:
- Search—Quickly find favorite artworks by artist name or title that are currently on view.
- Top Ten—Explore the ever-changing list of visitor-chosen favorites, as well as curators' top picks of must-see artworks.
- Gallery List—Search the entire collection on view by gallery. Select gallery button at the bottom of the "Gallery" map page.
- Related Artworks—Discover the hidden treasures in the collection from any object based on its collection, time period, and material, using the dynamic recommendation logic developed for the Collection Wall in Gallery One.
- Find an artwork marked with the round ArtLens icon: In the galleries, the icon appears with the wall label. In the Artlens, the icon is light blue, and appears in the upper left corner of artwork images in Near You Now (iPad) or Galleries (iPhone), and below the favorite button on artwork detail pages.
- Stand directly in front of the art.
- Click the scan logo. This is found both in bottom right hand corner of the screen and on the artwork detail pages for scannable artwork.
- When the camera aperture appears/opens, hold your iPad up vertically in front of the artwork you wish to scan.
- Content will appear linked to specific features of the artwork. Lower your iPad to a comfortable position, and learn about the artwork.
Please note:
- There is no sound associated with the videos in Gallery One.
- Videos associated with objects in other galleries have narration. We encourage you to bring headphones.
- Ear buds are available for purchase in the museum store for $2.95.
Don't have a device?
The museum has iPads and iPod Touches available for rental at the desk located inside Gallery One, near the Collection Wall. The rental fee is $5 per iPad. We will hold your valid driver's license or student ID until return.
An iPad, iPhone, or Android device is not required to experience many aspects of Gallery One.
Copyright Restrictions
Reproduction, including downloading, of works by Pierre Bonnard, Georges Braque, Carlo Bugatti, Salvador Dalí, Andre Derain, Otto Dix, Lee Krasner, Rene Lalique, Suzanne Lalique, Jacob Lawrence, Charles Loupot, René Magritte, Reginald Marsh, Henri Matisse, Barnett Newman, Pablo Picasso, Man Ray, Marc Rothko, Kay Sage, Yves Tanguy, Édouard Vuillard, Andy Warhol, and Wilfred Zogbaum, is prohibited by copyright laws and international conventions without the express written permission of Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York.

While almost every form of digital advertising has seen impressive growth over the last few years, the lion's share of ad budgets still end up elsewhere, mostly in TV. However, as the PWC graph at the bottom of the page illustrates, the gap is narrowing between Internet and TV advertising. Speaking at an event organised by SpotXchange and TubeMogul in conjunction with Beet.tv in Cannes, Anthony Rhind, Chief Digital Officer at Carat, said that video advertising is acting as a bridge between the traditional and online budget pots.

Downtown Black Out
Photography by Calvin Lim
Not to sound like a broken record, but have I mentioned that I love Downtown LA? As you may recall I talked about why I love this city so much on this post HERE. Ive been finding one too many excuses to run out of my office down the street to grab some coffee, which usually leads to a shopping excursion at the new Acne store.
Ever since i've gone lighter with my hair color (these photos were taken before I went blonde), I find myself wearing a whole lot of black. There's nothing sleeker than a body conscious ribbed mock neck paired with the slimmest of black skinnys , and of course sky high black pointy pumps. Sometimes its the basics that create the strongest outfits.
Thank you to all of you that left me a comment yesterday on tips & recommendations for my Paris trip! I've jotted down majority of them in my journal, and can't wait to share my parisian journey with you guys.
I hope you all have an amazing day!

Ctrl+Alt+Bernanke: Operation Empire State Rebellion Resumes Attack On Fed Chairman
Operation Empire State Rebellion is back. Perhaps in the aftermath of the IMF "very major breach" by anonymous hackers, it is really time to make sure all external access points to FedWire and FedLine are truly safe and sound. It will be very sad if it is uncovered that this source of externally accessible portal to hundreds of billions in emergency Fed funding has been somehow compromised. Just imagine the loss of confidence in the system... Why, a global distributed attack would really stretch the Fed's 1,200-strong police force quite thin.
Op_ESR's just released video:
90 days ago, we requested Ben Bernanke's resignation as Federal Reserve chairman. Mr. Bernanke has not complied with our request.
- The Federal Reserve's policies are systematically looting the country to enrich one-tenth of one percent of the population.
- The Federal Reserve has deliberately driven tens of millions of people into poverty.
- The Federal Reserve is responsible for Crimes Against Humanity!
- The Federal Reserve gave trillions of American taxpayer dollars, in secrecy, to the people who were most responsible for causing our economic crisis.
- Our tax dollars were handed out as all-time record-breaking bonuses to top executives at the "Too Big to Fail" global banks.
- The Federal Reserve gave American taxpayer dollars to foreign banks and corporations.
- The Federal Reserve directly subsidized tax evasion by funneling taxpayer dollars into to the Cayman Islands.
- The Federal Reserve gave American tax dollars to their primary dealer banks, so the banks could then lend that same money back to the US government at higher interest rates, leading to significant profits for the banks, at the further expense of the American public.
- Through bailout programs the Federal Reserve socialized financial losses onto American taxpayers and privatized profits into the hands of global banks.
- The Federal Reserve aids and abets trillions of dollars in accounting fraud.
- The Federal Reserve routinely manipulates the stock market.
- The Federal Reserve deliberately caused inflation in the price of food, gas and basic necessities, while devaluing the dollar!
- The Federal Reserve represents the central planning force behind a global banking cartel that has deliberately impoverished people throughout the world.
US Politicians have not taken action to break up the Federal Reserve and the "Too Big To Fail" Banks.
US Politicians have not taken action to prosecute the people who caused our economic crisis.
US Politicians have not taken action to end the system of political bribery, the campaign finance and lobbying racket, which allows global bankers to control our political process.
Democrats have failed us.
Republicans have failed us.
No one is defending our interests.
We cannot remain passive while our future is going up in flames.
It is time for us to stand up for ourselves.
It is time for you to stand up for yourself.
We must restore the rule of law and fight back against the organized criminal class.
We must now launch Operation Empire State Rebellion.
The operation will commence on June 14th.
As a first step, we are calling upon you to occupy a public space until Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke steps down.
Operation Empire State Rebellion, Engaged.

For now, they seem to better master AfterEffects than hacking.
But I'll wait and see.
While I'm all for occupying pubic spaces as much as possible, I do not see how that will help the cause at this time.
This stool at the end of the bar is a public place.
This is all misguided. We don't want hack attacks because that just provides the false flag to shut down internet freedom. We don't want physical protests because that's another false flag to unleash the thug brigades against the people... Not only that but it didn't even slow down the Viet Nam war.
What we want is for everyone to opt out. Stop feeding the beast as much as possible. Stop doing business with TBTF banks. Stop buying corporate crap that we don't need. Buy PMs and barter if you can. Doing this will bring down the system without breaking any laws that can cause a backlash. There's nothing they can do if we simply make choices that are in our best interest, which at the same time deny revenues and taxes to those who are destroying our society.
Just fucking opt out.
amen mkkby,
"Refuse to participate in the charade"
This is a fucking joke , do you think Americans give a shit they are so hopelessly dependant on the system they will give their life for it , they like being a slave and been made homeless and giving away all their rights and been shit on as long as they can watch snookie on their flat screen whilst been told how great America is doing , they will not get it until it is all gone . If you don't believe me see what happen on June 14 , I will tell you now NOTHING. All these post about rebellion are just bread and circus, I used to care about the poor people who had not woken up , but then I realized they don't want to they are happy being slaves , the whole human race is devolving and they deserve what they get, I Have no children , I have a good life no taxes , my own land free and clear, so why should I give a fuck about the rest of America if they are stupid enough to let the banks/ politicians do this to them FUCK um
And one other thing people take about "non violent protest" yet the police come in and kick the shit out of them ,how about violent protests take your guns and shoot the police then they will know you are not just pathetic soft dick Americans , you all say you want change , bull shit , fucking slaves are all the same.
Well abitdodgie, isn't it interesting that what is essentially a progression of slave culture, ie. inner city black culture, is now the dominant culture of America?
Look at black representation in the popular (sic) arts space. In sports of course. Everywhere except academia/finance and politics, where they remain a total minority.
I think that is very interesting in light of what you said above. I mean, ZH can do a wordcount of Muthafuka, hood, bitch and nigga, it'd be heavy.
Slave mind. Show me the way massah, you be the light.
Yo! wasup?
Interestingly, the music chosen for the background of the Anonymous clip seems to be a stretched version of the End Theme Title to the movie 'Wall Street' (Charlie Sheen, Michael Douglas & Daryl Hannah), as this scene in the movie is where Sheen's character, 'Bud Fox' is walking up the stairs to the Federal Court to commence his trial for charges of 'Market Manipulation'...this is of course one of the charges which Anonymous accuses Ben Bernanke and the US Fed of committing.
If time were on our side, it would help by increasing our numbers. But we all know we're already living on borrowed time from our fate.
This is a MUST watch…
people just need to start using barter and time banks more and more.. get out of the debt cycle and they lose power more and more
(also, has everyone reused the Fallout 3 'Please Stand By' screenshot now?)
Anymore of the Fed and I'll be occupying the public space under a bridge.
If Americans chose a weekday (that's not a holiday), chose a large city, chose a main main square or artery in the city, gathered there and refused to leave until specific demands were met (like the Egyptians did), the extreme violence that would be used against ordinary, non-violent Americans and broadcast everywhere via the internet would be a breaking point.
However, because of the collective state of denial in the US, this just won't happen. The gatherings will eventually happen but not until after TSHTF and, by then, the gatherings will cause more harm than good.
Flash Mob dancing in public places seems to be becoming popular.
Adam Kokesh Jefferson Memorial Flash (Dance) Mob
If you think it's about the dancing you are a grand-scale idiot. It's about drawing public awareness to the fact that the country is now firmly in the grip of tyrants. The average person might not understand protesting the Federal Reserve Corporation, but the average person definitely understands that being arrested for dancing in public is unacceptable. And at the Jefferson Memorial of all places...
Small (two)steps on the road to liberation. More than you are doing, I am sure.
dancing frees towns from tyranny
Sting, the musician, wrote a song called "They Dance Alone" about dances in Chile protesting the tyranny of Pinochet.
Men and boys were disappearing from villages and the news media was not allowed to discuss openly the government nor the disappearances so the mothers had to silently suffer but still had a voice in dance.
While not dance, 71-year-old Ray McGovern, in protest against Hillary Clinton, stood and turned his back on her during a speech only to be dragged from the audience then left beaten and bleeding in jail. The speech by HC was condemning governments that arrest protestors and do not allow free expression
Just recently there were people brutally arrested for kissing, and dancing at this memorial... This video is to show that we already live in a Police State…
What the fuck is "occupying a public space"? I do that everytime I have a constitutional in a public restroom. Does that count?
I enjoy dropping Bernankes off in public restrooms.
I enjoy drawing his face in the toilet.
This is how we need to resist… This is what was happening before, during, and after G20 2010 meeting in Toronto…
Long, but very well made video… Worth watching and sharing with others…
One cop charged and very little public interest in pursuing it:
Meh. Actions. Not words. If you're going to talk *that* big, you had better have something to back it up.
Attack first. Then take credit. Don'tcha know there are established Rules of Engagement for this sort of thing?
Don't wait for 'leadership' to give you instructions. Act on your own. Before calling out someone else who's talking the talk to your dissatisfaction call yourself out. Muster in 10 minutes.
YES. Waiting for a leader is the same old game, and ends up leading to the same old place.
Rock on CD.
Worse, if one waits for a 'leader' one will be provided for you by the powers that be.
It is right out of the playbook of controlled opposition and other herding and mind control techniques a la psyops.
Just tweet that Justin Bieber and Sarah Palin will be at your local post office soon! ... bringing the free beer. You'll have a crowd riot and will never get them to leave.
+10 rocky. reminds me of monty python:
good idea oh Lord.
A couple months ago, somebody jokingly tweeted to a friend that Brad Pitt was on campus. In no time at all, there were herds of college girls surrounding the buildings where they believed him to be.
Social media can be your ally.
Muster? Lol @ CD. Got your camos on then do you CD? For those of us who live far from the US, mustering is a bit tough anyway. Tax revolts are more 21st century.
Who said anything about armed resistance? The term muster was used to imply you should activate yourself and push back. The method used is up to you. Armed resistance is exactly what the powers that be what to be used against them because the system can counter that and doing so will actually feed the system.
A 100 million people doing their own thing will bring it down quickly. They can't force me to buy LCD TVs or keep my money in the stock market. And so on. Think outside of the box.
Right on, CD. We don't want hack attacks because that just provides the false flag to shut down internet freedom. We don't want physical protests because that's another false flag to unleash the thug brigades against the people... Not only that but it didn't even slow down the Viet Nam war.
What we want is for everyone to opt out. Stop feeding the beast as much as possible. Stop doing business with TBTF banks. Stop buying corporate crap that we don't need. Buy PMs and barter if you can. Doing this will bring down the system without breaking any laws that can cause a backlash. There's nothing they can do if we simply make choices that are in our best interest, which at the same time deny profit and taxes to those who are destroying our society.
Just fucking opt out.
the J.F.O. strat is old/cold; en masse, over a a few quarters....maybe. but still, idealistic....not realistic. im sure the tech.s of the spectacle have a good plan to mask/deny/hide/capitalize on a sit. where good citizens decide not to play ball......after witnessing what they're capable of....(911, '08, now, etc.)...opting out is like....occupying public space.....like voting. why? sure, they take events and maximize the piss out of them, but "we" really dont provide them with reasons to shut down www, engage us for protests,etc.......w*w/o reason, they commence what they need to commence..........dont have one? make one. very easily done and done quite often thruot our glorious history. armed resistance? absolutley, just not me. throw out some militia-types/bible extremists so we can see what they'll do. then take all the info they(us.gov) have put out over the years about the juiciest targets that the trrrrists were gonna hit, and let's dance. we know its coming...........we, as citizens, are responsible for letting our 'handlers' take us into pre-emptive war........let's follow the precedent and pre-emptively act in our best interest?...........just kidding! har, i'll think i'll opt for an after-dinner round of dj shorts' blueberry and not worry about it. call me if anything changes.
Norman Morrison's heirs might disagree with you about the Vietnam war.
Norman Morrison, born in Erie, Pennsylvania, on December 29, 1933, was a Baltimore Quaker best known for committing suicide at age 31 in an act of self-immolation to protest United States involvement in the Vietnam War, outside then Defense Minister Robert McNamara's office in the Pentagon. On November 2, 1965, Morrison doused himself in kerosene and set himself on fire below Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara's Pentagon office, after handing over his young daughter to one of the spectators in the crowd.
he was trying to call you out. and mock anyone who considers violence.
I think we all know where this is going but are agreed that the tyrant will fire the first shot. Now its just to the people to recognize the audible percussion.
anybody heard of Radio Atlanta or Radio Caroline? They were American owned pirate radio stations that sold advertising until Spain's Congress made it a felony to do biz w/ the american pirate ship, but anything that has ever been done b4 can be accomplished again.
Don't wait for 'leadership' to give you instructions. Act on your own. Before calling out someone else who's talking the talk to your dissatisfaction call yourself out.
CD, give this a read.
So we play by their rules?
i was hangin' w/ a marine sniper claimed to have done black ops & he said plans of engagement get thrown out window as soon as go into battle. How about just vote fer RP 2012 so we can all get along & play nice
dude, don't need no 0317 to know that the battle plan is rather flexible. Even the doggies have figured this out. But there is nothing about "play nice" in this scheme.
Can I get what u b smoking? 'cuz it must b good.
- Ned
whoever junked you doesnt know much. Besides the Navy SEALs , scout snipers of the Marine Force Recon are an elite unit that rarely gets any press time, i could venture as far as underappreciated. I only know this because one of my best friends from high school is a scout sniper and he has told me of missions with SEALs, and rules of engagement do get thrown out the window. thats life. end the fed!
Could be diversionary. If they are actually announcing their targets beforehand then they apparently don't realize how many well paid and skilled professionals are arrayed against them. Even with a zero day, if they announce their target before hand their activity will be quickly detected and stopped.
Anonymous may be legion, but so are the people being paid $200K a year to stop them.
Meh, we need words too. Anonymous has been hacking into things. They are doing actions. But if people don't go out into the streets and show that we want what anonymous is demanding, then the government will just demonize and prosecute them without anything being done.
Haven't you been watching the middle east. Nothing's gonna get fixed if people are not out in the streets demanding it.
I agree that the whole "occupy a public space" idea seems weak, but at least it's something. We need loud, angry, mobs with blowhorns marching on all branches of the Fed.
What else we need is awake veterans returning from war, to fight the REAL battle, against the REAL enemies of America.
+++1 million -- seriously, hats off to these folks for putting a placeholder on the caledar and inviting others to put their time where their mouths are. I hope 100k+ show, I will be protesting in my own way that day on the other side of the country
WEAK? What the fuck
Has everyone forgotten the lesson of Vietnam and Cairo so quickly.
Appearing together on short notice in a public place to be seen by your like-minded fellow citizens is the Absolute STRONG thing to do.
I am going to a local mall at high noon and again at 1pm and yell end the fed three times. and post my intent on Craigslist. Perhaps put up a Facebook page for the time and place. Maybe I'll be the only one there.
Southpointe, athe fountain in front of the theater complex.
Muster now is the call. Public is the place You take from there.
A close friend has lived in Cairo since before the spring revolution and it is going well Only Because of masses of non-violent people, citizens - in the streets. Almost all civil crowds with a pre-announced non-violent intent remained non-violent during the large End the War rallies in the Vietnam era. I was there in San Fran, oakland, and Minneapolis.
Look to see you there Or you're basically a lazy shit couch potato blowing smoke out your ass and don't give a flying fuck.
You don't seem to understand that the protests in Cairo are only non-violent (on both sides) because they serve the elite's gaming strategy of remolding the political world in order to gain a more secure stranglehold on the people living under it.
The instant a real, grass-roots protest arises, two things will happen. First, the MSM and the politicos will treat it as a criminally inspired threat to "The American Way," creating the mindset for conflict. Second, false-flag provocateurs will infiltrate the movement, initiating the violence that TPTB will have to rise up against.
Bahrain's protests were mostly peaceful as well, yet their revolution was not televised, as the Sauds were too busy cracking heads.
If Empire State Rebellion is going to do something impressive, the time to act is now.
Otherwise, talk is cheap.
Nice video. My guess is that exactly NOTHING will take place. No one will occupy any government space. No computers will crash. As a matter of fact, life will probably continue in US of Zombie Land as it has for the last few years.
In fairness the weiner story is pretty all consuming at the moment. And what about poor Huma? Save us Nancy Pelosi! Save us Hillary Clinton!
Were gonna need a bigger DILDO!!!
Maybe the first strike was Weiner. Maybe Weiner is the ... Mancircumsized Candidate!
I thought that went out of fashion with OBL!
Why do u get impeached for lying about a pic of a Weiner on Twitter, but lie about WMD and its cool-no prob.... Weiner had RP's back on the Patriot Act week b4 last
Or knock up your maid. Face it, dude's a weiner.
Yeah, Fuckhead
The reason for you not doing anything is YOU. Looser outlook you have, grasshopper. Look within. Just go to a public place on Tuesday. Not that hard ... IF YOU GIVE AS MUCH OF A SHIT AS YOU DID WHEN YOU SIGNED UP FOR ZH !
Dipshitt comment.
Just go.
They are going about it all wrong. All they would have to do is Twiter Free Beer at all Government Buildings or public places. Or, say PARTY at the following locations BYOB. That would do it. They would have so many people they would not know what to do.
Remember the gal that had a sweet sixteen party and forgot to say private and 1,000 people showed up?

Dear W_f_s: LOL! i'm on my way!
So just do it yourself
Or are you too stupid to figure it out
You keep it non-violent.
You are in charge.
Just do it - in a public place.
Do you have a main public place in town?
Is there a library?
Or just plain chickenshit and paranoid of becoming a leader
Seems so.
Anonymous is my friend
There goes the internet. Well, it was fun chatting with you all.
This is a little bit too...slick. Too sophisticated for a motley group of hackers. I speak of the "leadership". Someone is directing the herd, someone is making the decisions. And that person is either a master strategist or part of a coordinated effort.
One last note worthy of mention: notice that those who have been agitating for violent public reaction over the past few years are allowed to speak out, while those employing peaceful resistance are abused and persecuted? Don't look at what they're cracking down upon, look at what they're letting get by. It's not what they do, it's what they're not doing. It's not what they say, it's what they're not saying that speaks volumes. Etc.
I am Chumbawamba.
And keep in mind the Federal Reserve is only one head of the hydra. Lop it off and you still have a dozen other centers of control to deal with.
Finally, consider this: Ben is not an idiot. As much as we want to think that he really is just an empty vessel, the reality is he's a minion of Satan carrying out his orders. Ben knows the Fed can't fix this shit with more liquidity. Or, maybe he is a fricking moron, but someone in the shadows is telling him to stay the course and the plan will work (or else). In either case, the plan is deliberate. The nature of these things is cyclical, yes. But do you think we're the only ones to know this, or even the first to find out? Certain men throughout history have understood the cyclicality of time, events, civilizations, etc. We all know that gold and silver, as an artifact of this particular cycle, are going to eventually go ballistic, so we are gaming the future, are we not? Why would this be so impossible or impractical to implement at a societal level, to literally game mankind?
Knowledge is power. You are more powerful than you know, you just lack the knowledge.
I am Chumbawamba.
you be good player of chess. I would do a sicilian defense against you if you chumba- wamba'd me at the Empire state demo for doing what they expect me to do.
Well put, Chum.
And agree 100 percent knowledge is power.
Too many don't know how many others feel same...so acting out add to that...perhaps.
But then it is always in their play book, American summer?
More like American Winter where I'm at. The weather patterns have definitely been altered (most likely from the volcanic spewage globally).
I am Chumbawamba.
"You are more powerful than you know, you just lack the knowledge."
thanks for the reminder. funny thing is, the more power i perceive, the less i choose to focus on what sneaky tricks the Powerful are up to.
There was nothing sophisticated about that. Perhaps you noticed the mispellings. Couldn't have taken more than 20 minutes to slap that shit together, although if it's something like a DHS sting operation it would surely have taken longer.
We don't know. Guess it's time they make some real news to help us decide, yeah?
LOL. I worry about the day the net goes down (or I have to choose between it and eating). People ought to know that when the shit gets funny, the plug will get pulled... same as all these ME countries.
On the subject of allowing violence but supressing non-violence - I think the stage is being set for a specific form of class warfare. The one where we all fight against each other instead of turning on the elite. Yet another divide and conquer technique.
Insightful post. They do actually want violence to spark in the U.S. They want domestic unrest. They are more than ready for it. The SWAT teams are deployed, the police are militarized, NorthCOM is here, they can handle anything a few angry peasants with AR-15's can throw at them. They are doing everything in their power to spark domestic unrest. Look at the actions they have taken, read the news, I won't name specifics.
As for anonymous etc. Yes, this will lead to a redesign of the internet from the ground up. It will be essentially a content delivery network for the big media companies. The free, open, internet will be a thing of the past. The new version will be touted as "more secure", but in reality it will only be accessible via a PKI enabled single sign on that grants the government perfect attribution of internet users and access to all of their passwords and accounts (after all, someone has to hold your certs in "escrow"). The elite are terrified that "just anyone" (Hillary Clinton's words) can say "whatever they like" and "not be held accountable" on the internet. They will destroy the internet, guaranteed. All politicians are authoritarians, it's only in the West they let you believe you have freedom of speech and a choice in the matter. But true near anarchy level freedom such as exists on the internet is antithetical to authoritarians and Western elites will destroy it, guaranteed.
I can imagine what was said about that whore.
The fact that the Facebook and Linkdin (Bill "I wanna vaccinate ur kid" Gates buying Skype) were at Bilberger and are the darlings of the banksters (see recent IPOs) means that they're using the Internet for their own purposes.
I agree 100% with them wanting violent unrest. This is what all that "federal funny money" "drug enforcement" for local and state "law enforcement" really was for.
They control the media .... effectively muzzled Amerika. They do this in all of their client states too.
PS In case of bankster induced pandemic, use nano colloidal silver to kill bacteria and virii. The German e.coli has plague pathogens and was lab created to withstand 8 different types of antibiotics. Silver: the all around bankster slayer.
You know, if They want unrest, We don't and have the numbers to keep it that way. Are you too scared or paranoid to find out ?
Join me in the street for just a day.
It's flag day. I'll be wearing my lapel pin upside down.
American Spring
American Revolution V2.0 !
Hey, there's an idea. Upside down flag pin.
Sorta like a secret handshake.
Where can I get a ZH pin?
Oooh. I love being part of a clandestine and dangerous cadre.
zaknick, if you got some coins lying around, wash them in peroxide, then soak them in filtered water (or drop them in your filter). DIY collodial silver...cuz shit's gettin expensive yo.
Would love to hear the position of the "junker" regarding the above post. You know, the expectation here is that ZH has some intellegent posters - and hit & run junking on relevant posts is pretty damn stupid. Make your case. Maybe you will find some people change thier opinion, learn something, etc. Or maybe you will forced to change yours. Who knows. If it is just pure "close-mindedness," there are plenty of sites on the internet for folks who prefer useless confirmation and haven't the brass to venture out of their "happy place," bunker, etc. - whatever appies.
I didn't junk the guy, but I think the idea is silly. It's popular around these parts, but mostly among people who don't really understand the existing infrastructure.
The problem is not that "they" wouldn't like to create a new form of Internet which is all totally top-down controllable, the problem is that it cannot be done *technically* without massive infrastructure investment. That investment is simply not coming.
The Internet exists as it does because it is completely decentralized and very simple and cheap to add nodes. Constructing a centralized "controlled" Internet will NOT be simple or cheap, and society has to continue to operate while you work on building it. It'd probably take a decade to roll out.
there's a great article on this in yesterday's NYT.
best to read between the lines to get the juicy bits.
Big talk, but so was Assange about BoA.
Less JAW JAW and more WAR WAR plz!!!
My brief experience with Anonymous was not impressive, at least the NYC "branch". They seemed to have no interest in the FED or their actions. Also, the fact that any concerted effort to make a bank fail by removing monies in concert with other depositors is illegal and brands you a terrorist makes it less than appealing. A more subtle strategy would be to put as much money as possible into PM's and cash, removing their interest profits. This seems like it's already happening on a pretty wide scale, just out of common sense. It's like that old saying, the second time you try to pillage an entire town they tend to notice, and honestly, theres not much left for these guys to steal. They've painted themselves into a greedy little corner. When they've stolen all they can they'll start fighting amongst themselves.
All we can really do is stop buying useless shit we don't need. Starve the beast.
Can you cite the law that makes it illegal to withdraw cash from a banking institution in unison in order to break said institution?
I am Chumbawamba.
I withdrew a considerable amount of cash from my bank shortly after the crash and the IRS sent me a cute little pamphlet stating exactly that. I will search online for it, but I get no kick out posting bullshit with an anonymous avatar, there, chumba.
I was not trying to rebuke you, if such a law exists I just really want to see it in writing for everyone's edification. I'd like to see how they would make that illegal and whether it's based on any law at all. I tried searching (not very hard) but came up empty.
I am Chumbawamba.
This is the broad statute the pamphlet cited, but I would have to find it to give the specific language. It may not even be illegal, more of a scare tactic... to find out for sure, draw over 10K in cash and they'll send you one. Will keep looking though...
It goes back the amended Trading With The Enemy Act of 1917 and the states of emergency. The Federal Reserve system is legally the creditor to the US Government. The United States (Capitalized) means, according to the USC and the CFR and Stat. at Large, except where explicitly defined otherwise:
"United States" means the several States of the United States, the District of Columbia, and the commonwealths, territories, and possessions of the United States.
and more importantly:
(15) "United States" means—
(A) a Federal corporation; There's a (b) and a (c) as well regarding sub corporations (entities) and instrumentalities of the United States. So anyway-- the debt is owed by the United States corporation and what they did was, in placing us into a status of enemies of the state under the TWEA, they put us all in as surety on the debt and under a soft martial law as well. You'll notice most all courts fly a military flag. If you try to subvert the banks in an organized fashion you will likely be brought in under multiple criminal charges (those are military jurisdiction under title 50) and civil charges. They are breaking all the laws and their own rules because the concerted effort to 'change' this country from a representative constitutional republic to a socialist democracy is almost complete and people have no idea what came before this. They accept because they don't know any different and are not taught any different in the schools. I have studied this quite a bit. The instrumentation for mass scale adjustment to how and what we learn has been ongoing strong for about a century. Planning for much longer than that. In reality they are supposed to follow the rules (meaning the constitution and all their statutes etc. most of which are for commerce and for them to follow, not us) even under the state of emergency which puts us under military rule and jurisdiction of the Unites States. Lincoln put together the Leiber Code for this. Those are the rules of engagement. However, they are not following anything. The article on ZH from the other day regarding the Amerika Police State illustrates this well. There is so much to this its impossible to write it all in a comment. Study the law and history.
You are talking about a Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) and other permutations that fall under the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCen). Most people think a SAR doesnt need to be filed unless someone is taking out, depositing or moving $10k or more. In fact any activity deemed 'suspicous' (and a broad definition is used for what is suspicious including the reporting person having a bad hair day) can require the teller, manager, account rep, accounting person or anyone in the bank to file a SAR.
Big Brother is watching. Except those who have large sums of money who can curry favor and work around the rules. The SAR is for the little people despite what we are told.
Based on your post and Chumbas post about it being a slick organaizational effort. What better way to establish a master list of organized decentralized subversives than direct them to take out their money on June 14th.
Based on your post and Chumbas post about it being a slick organaizational effort. What better way to establish a master list of organized decentralized subversives than direct them to take out their money on June 14th.
Not that I don't think something like that is possible, but this sort of fear-based thinking is a big problem. Get the people to be worried about being put on "the list" and it quells a lot of shit. The attitude has to be "fuck them and their lists", as most people are already on them anyhow. Besides, in the near future lists won't even matter...
Even better, since almost all public places are under digital video surveillance these days, just hanging out in public on that date could get you put on a list through facial recognition software. This list crossed with a list of ip adressess that access /b/ and other places of "Anonymous" activity, supplied by our ISPs willfully, makes an even better list of "domestic terrorists." Run this list through programs that compile data based on how "threatening" sites may be of course crossed with frequency of visit, duration, how elebarote their attempted security is, how often they search for "threatening" keywords, and how often their face pops up at similar rallies and whatnot and you've just created a list of domestic terrorists in milliseconds. You dont even have to take out their leaders because there are none, just pick out high profile, easy targets, raid their houses, plant bomb-making devices and automatic weapons, sieze power of the internet and scare the shit out of anyone who even thinks about tweeting anything subversive. Paint all "Anonymous" as Columbine-types in the media and its game over.
:takes off tinfoil helmet:
I think a false flag domestic terrorist attack in the name of anonymous is more likely though.

thanks CD, I was coming up dry. Getting that pamphlet in the mail gave me the same feeling as hearing "honey, I'm late" in my younger years. Good thing she couldn't count.
Keep in mind that any business can file an 8300 form. Every business that deals in transactions over 10K cash is required by Federal law to file it on the customer.
That goes for silver, too. In fact, if your silver dealer sells you silver for cash, the dealer will report you to the government. If he doesn't, he is in violation of Federal law and will be prosecuted, if caught.
An SAR can be filed by anyone, too. It's not just the banks who file these forms.
The comment I responded to was discussing banks, but it's good for everyone to know that SAR reporting is required of many different businesses that deal with financial transactions such as check cashing stores, broker/dealers etc. I strongly suggest people read about this subject. It's a bit frightening and right out of 1984.
The most frightening part for me for example is that as a broker if I am supposed to report someone it is against the law for me to inform that person that I am reporting them. What's next, children instructed at school to report 'suspicious activity' by their parents? Don't laugh. We are not far from this.
Against the law to inform them you're reporting it? That's bizarre . . . and I thought the child abuse mandates were strange. What is the penalty to you if you fail to report?
I am talking about the SAR, not the requirement to report $10k or greater transactions. My very first comment in this sub thread linked to the wiki on SAR and FinCen. The SAR is much more insidious and most people are not aware of it.....as this thread demonstrates.
Now it's getting really suspicious--the SAR link takes us to a "no info" destination . . . at wiki, of all places!
But that's all right, I see you've expanded on the subject below. Thanks, CD.
The reporting form itself. Read this.
FinCen guidence on SAR.

The Tresaury site.

The NSI site.
"as a broker if I am supposed to report someone it is against the law for me to inform that person that I am reporting them"
CD, check the footnote in your own link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suspicious_activity_report_(banking)
[1] http://www.ots.treas.gov/_files/480024.pdf
Yes, it is a federal offense.
Thank you for supporting my assertion. I was stating the fact, not asking the question. However, others were questioning my statement or simply confused between the Currency Transaction Report, form 8300 for businesses and the Suspicious Activity Report.
it is against the law for me to inform that person that I am reporting them
I'm not sure this is correct. More than likely, this is just your company's policy, which doesn't reflect well on your brokerage firm.
The crime is not about telling the person that you are reporting him; you can tell him, and still transact business with him perfectly legally. Rather, the crime is advising the person not to make a particular transaction because you will be required to report them. Or, similarly, advising the person how to "structure" the transaction to avoid being reported. The crime is called "structuring."
If an individual asks if you will file an 8300 form on their transaction, it is not illegal to tell them so. It is, however, illegal to show them how to avoid the form.
I don't mean to be trivial, but it's a fairly important distinction.
You and I are talking about different things. You are discussing form 8300 which is used for the "Report of Large Cash Payments over $10,000 Received in a Trade or Business". You are allowed to discuss this form with the customer, but you can not help them evade the reporting requirements. I am talking about the catch all Suspicious Activity Reports (SAR) which does not have any level of transaction that would trigger the report. All that is required is suspicion on the part of the reporting person. This is limited to banks, brokerages, check cashing business etc.
Read the law. As a broker I cannot tell the person that I am filing a SAR on them. Period. Full stop. I am talking about the SAR, not form 8300. The justification is that if I told them I was reporting them that this would alert the 'bad guy' that someone was on to him/her and they could disappear. Not saying it is right, just that it is the law.
Do your homework folks. Stop focusing only on the reporting of transactions over $10k and understand that because people were evading that law the SAR was created.
No. This just isn't correct.
The 8300 form doesn't say one thing about informing the client, or otherwise. It is absolutely discretionary.
Instead of narrowly focusing only on form 8300, which pertains only to business, why don't you read the law behind it and all other financial transaction reporting. BTW I said "You are allowed to discuss this form with the customer..." which means it is discretionary. You are also allowed to not discuss this form with the customer. What you can't do is help them evade the reporting.
As I said above several times we are talking about different things. You are focused solely on 8300. I am talking about the broad laws that support SAR and all other financial transaction reporting. SAR is very insidious and very broadly applied by banks, brokers, insurance companies etc but not all businesses.
What you can't do is help them evade the reporting.
Why are you trying to tell me this?
I'm the one that just taught you.
If you want to teach me something I don't know, please tell me how to add a picture next to my name.
Stick around newbie. You'll get the hang of it eventually.
Noobie noogies! Yeah!
Reading's a real challenge sometimes, but check it out:
Notification Prohibited Federal law (31 U.S.C.
5318(g)(2)) provides that a financial institution, and
its directors, officers, employees, and agents who,
voluntarily or by means of a suspicious activity report,
report suspicious transactions to the government,
may not notify any person involved in the
transaction that the transaction has been reported.
Thank you blunderdog.
I prefer to let people find out on their own. People can always find an excuse to disbelieve what they are told by someone else as just hearsay or ideology. Letting the person find it on their own doesn't prevent denial, but at least it makes the denial harder.
Then of course there are those who will believe whatever they want to believe. Absolutely nothing can be 'done' about them and I don't try.
know your client! law? is that what all of you grease monkeys are spitting about!
and who is new guy? and why is new guy fucking with CD? of all people? and were the fuck are the Marines while this goes on? LOL!! never mind the SWAT Team killed them ALL.. let them bleed out in front of their wives and children!!
This requirement pre-dates 1984. I have read the IRS Code that covers this issue, although I'm not going to try to remember the Section citation now. The regulation actually is that, if you have any one or more transactions within a defined period of time that totals $10,000 or more, the organization you were doing the transactions with must report it to the IRS. This orginally had nothing to do with terrorism. It was aimed at making drug traffikers and other money-laundering activity more visible.
If your nose is clean, it is nothing to even give a second thought to - so long as you've accepted that you live in a county that passes such laws.
As far as it being illegal to notify someone that you have reported their transaction - the way around that is to simply have a flyer that explains the IRS regulation and let every customer have one when they enter your place of business (or whatever). That way, they will know themselves every time you report them, and you won't have to "not tell them". Most folks who deal in large sums probably already know this IRS requirement anyway.
I am discussing the Suspicious Activity Report (SAR), not the requirement to report transactions (or a series of transactions) of $10k or greater. The SAR is much more invasive and 1984ish. The SAR was created precisely because people were getting around the $10k report. Or more to the point, to create a Big Brother attitude in the financial community.
CD, could it be that you are discussing the SAR and not the requirement to report transactions, or series of transactions, of $10k or greater? just askin, ya know...
Maybe. Then again....maybe not. I'll re-re-read the thread and let you know. :>)
So I think what you're trying to tell them is that you're discussing the SAR, and nothing else, right?
NOT FORM 8300..........Not Form 8300...........not form 8300...........not........
Geez I've never seen people so confused about something (not you CD).
You talk over my head on occasion but sheesh I was able to follow along with you here just fine.
Kiss ass.
CD reveals his hypocrisy in this thread.
On the one hand he hopes the Fed will come down eventually:
100 million people doing their own thing will bring it down quickly.
On the other hand he profits from the Fed in a licensed financial activity:
... as a broker ...
One reason the federal government withdrew its currency from circulation and went to FRNs is FRNs are a private currency.
The Fed being the owner of that private currency can make any rules it desires regarding use of that currency. Those rules do not have to be constitutional since the Fed isn't bound by the constitution. They can be as tyannical as the Fed wishes.
The Fed can require anyone using that currency in a commercial manner to be licensed and follow all manner of reporting rules, effectively making the licensee an agent of the Fed (and its revenue arm the IRS), working against the rights, liberty, and privacy of the American people.
As a licensed securities broker CD is an agent of the Fed and part of the tyranny he decries.
If CD was sincere he would reject the license and abandon the licensed activity.
Instead he chooses to stay in it and profit from it.
That's CD's cognitive dissonance. His refusal to recognize his own hypocrisy.

Article: Risk Factors for Neutropenia in Clozapine-Treated Children and Adolescents with Childhood-Onset Schizophrenia[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Objective: The purpose of this study was to retrospectively analyze rates of neutropenia and risk factors for neutropenia in hospitalized children and adolescents treated with clozapine. Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted for all patients who received clozapine at any time during a hospitalization at the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) between 1990 and 2011. All patients satisfied screening criteria for the NIMH childhood-onset schizophrenia study, including onset of psychosis before the age of 13 years. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) values recorded during inpatient hospitalization were extracted for 87 eligible patients with a mean age of 13.35±2.46 years at hospitalization and a mean length of stay of 117±43 days. Results: Mild neutropenia only (lowest ANC<2000/mm3 but>1500/mm3) was observed in 27 (31%) patients and moderate neutropenia (any ANC<1500/mm3) was observed in 17 (20%) patients. There were no cases of agranulocytosis or severe infection. Significant risk factors for mild neutropenia compared with no hematologic adverse effects (HAEs) were male gender (p=0.012) and younger age (p<0.001). Male gender was also a significant risk factor for moderate neutropenia compared with no HAEs (p=0.003). If a child of African American ethnicity developed neutropenia during hospitalization at all that child was significantly more likely to develop moderate neutropenia than mild neutropenia only (p=0.017). African American boys had the highest rate of moderate neutropenia at 47%. Sixteen of the 17 patients exhibiting moderate neutropenia were successfully treated with clozapine by the time of discharge; 8 of these 16 required adjunctive lithium carbonate administration to maintain ANC>2000/mm3. Conclusions: Our study shows that the rates of neutropenia in clozapine-treated children and adolescents are considerably higher than in the adult population. Younger age, African American ethnicity, and male gender were significant risk factors. These are also risk factors for benign neutropenia in healthy children and adolescents. Despite these high rates of neutropenia, all but one of the patients with neutropenia during hospitalization were successfully discharged on clozapine.
Article: 15:30 ALTERATIONS IN MAGNETOENCEPHALOGRAPHIC GAMMA OSCILLATORY PATTERNS DURING RESTING-STATE IN PATIENTS WITH CHILDHOOD-ONSET SCHIZOPHRENIA, NON-PSYCHOTIC SIBLINGS AND HEALTHY CONTROLS
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In recent years, transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has been used to study and treat many neuropsychiatric conditions. However, information regarding its tolerability in the pediatric population is lacking. This study aims to investigate the tolerability aspects of tDCS in the childhood-onset schizophrenia (COS) population. Twelve participants with COS completed this inpatient study. Participants were assigned to one of two groups: bilateral anodal dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) stimulation (n = 8) or bilateral cathodal superior temporal gyrus (STG) stimulation (n = 5). Patients received either 2 mA of active treatment or sham treatment (with possibility of open active treatment) for 20 minutes, for a total of 10 sessions (2 weeks). tDCS was well tolerated in the COS population with no serious adverse events occurring during the study. This is the first study to demonstrate that a 20-minute duration of 2 mA of bilateral anodal and bilateral cathodal DC polarization to the DLPFC and STG was well tolerated in a pediatric population.
Article: Normalization of Cortical Gray Matter Deficits in Nonpsychotic Siblings of Patients With Childhood-Onset Schizophrenia[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Cortical gray matter (GM) abnormalities in patients with childhood-onset schizophrenia (COS) progress during adolescence ultimately localizing to prefrontal and temporal cortices by early adult age. A previous study of 52 nonpsychotic siblings of COS probands had significant prefrontal and temporal GM deficits that appeared to "normalize" by age 17 years. Here we present a replication with nonoverlapping groups of healthy full siblings and healthy controls. Using an automated measure and prospectively acquired anatomical brain magnetic resonance images, we mapped cortical GM thickness in nonpsychotic full siblings (n = 43, 68 scans; ages 5 through 26 years) of patients with COS, contrasting them with age-, gender-, and scan interval-matched healthy controls (n = 86, 136 scans). The false-discovery rate procedure was used to control for type I errors due to multiple comparisons. As in our previous study, young nonpsychotic siblings (<17 years) showed significant GM deficits in bilateral prefrontal and left temporal cortices and, in addition, smaller deficits in the parietal and right inferior temporal cortices. These deficits in nonpsychotic siblings normalized with age with minimal abnormalities remaining by age 17. Our results support previous findings showing nonpsychotic siblings of COS probands to have early GM deficits that ameliorate with time. At early ages, prefrontal and/or temporal loss may serve as a familial/trait marker for COS. Late adolescence appears to be a critical period for greatest localization of deficits in probands or normalization in nonpsychotic siblings.

ABSTRACT: To document high rates and clinical correlates of nonauditory hallucinations in childhood onset schizophrenia (COS). Within a sample of 117 pediatric patients (mean age 13.6 years), diagnosed with COS, the presence of auditory, visual, somatic/tactile, and olfactory hallucinations was examined using the Scale for the Assessment of Positive Symptoms (SAPS). We also compared hallucination modality membership (presence/absence) groups on gender, socioeconomic status, ethnicity, age of onset (of psychosis), Full Scale IQ, Verbal IQ, and clinical severity (Children's Global Assessment Scale [CGAS) and Scale for the Assessment of Negative Symptoms [SANS]). A total of 111 COS patients (94.9%) had auditory and 94 patients (80.3%) had visual hallucinations. Somatic/tactile (60.7%) and olfactory (29.9%) hallucinations occurred almost exclusively in patients who also had visual hallucinations. Children who had visual hallucinations had lower IQ, earlier age of onset, and more severe illness relative to children who did not have visual hallucinations. In this study, we observed that patients with COS have high rates of hallucinations across all modalities. An increased rate of visual hallucinations is associated with greater clinical impairment and greater compromise in overall brain functioning. Somatic and olfactory hallucinations reflect an additive rather than alternative symptom pattern.
Article: Lack of Gender Influence on Cortical and Subcortical Gray Matter Development in Childhood-Onset Schizophrenia[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Background: Progressive cortical gray matter (GM) abnormalities are an established feature of schizophrenia and are more pronounced in rare, severe, and treatment refractory childhood-onset schizophrenia (COS) cases. The effect of sex on brain development in schizophrenia is poorly understood and studies to date have produced inconsistent results. >Methods: Using the largest to date longitudinal sample of COS cases (n = 104, scans = 249, Male/Female [M/F] = 57/47), we compared COS sex differences with sex differences in a sample of matched typically developing children (n = 104, scans = 244, M/F = 57/47), to determine whether or not sex had differential effects on cortical and subcortical brain development in COS. Results: Our results showed no significant differential sex effects in COS for either GM cortical thickness or subcortical volume development (sex × diagnosis × age interaction; false discovery rate q = 0.05). Conclusion: Sex appears to play a similar role in cortical and subcortical GM development in COS as it does in normally developing children.

Article: Adjunctive use of lithium carbonate for the management of neutropenia in clozapine-treated children[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Clozapine, a dibenzodiazepine antipsychotic, is the most effective medication for treatment-resistant schizophrenia. However, its use has been limited by the high risk of neutropenia. In children, the rate of neutropenia is higher when compared to adults. We decided to explore the use of lithium to manage neutropenia in childhood-onset schizophrenia (COS) through a systematic audit of COS cases. Medical records were reviewed for patients with COS who had been treated with the combination of clozapine and lithium carbonate. Seven patients were found to have been treated with both clozapine and lithium. After initiation of lithium, ANC increased significantly in six out of seven subjects by 29 to 106% with a mean of 66%. In addition, six out of seven subjects continued using both clozapine and lithium for over 2 years (range: 2.0-7.2 years) and do not have immediate plans for discontinuation of either medications. Our study bolsters support for the use of lithium in the management of neutropenia in children treated with clozapine. Although the coadministration of lithium and clozapine appears effective in the management of neutropenia, it is not without its risks and clinicians must be diligent in their joint use of these medications.
Article: General absence of abnormal cortical asymmetry in childhood-onset schizophrenia: A longitudinal study[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Childhood-onset schizophrenia (COS) is a rare, severe form of the adult-onset illness, with more salient neurobiological causes. Previous cross-sectional structural neuroimaging research has suggested that normal cortical asymmetry patterns [(R-L)/(R+L)] may be altered in adult schizophrenia, although these findings were not well replicated. Recent studies show dynamic changes in brain asymmetry during childhood and adolescence. We hypothesized that COS patients would show a lack of normal development of asymmetry and decreased overall asymmetry. Prospective structural magnetic resonance scans were obtained at baseline and at two-year follow-up visits in 49 right-handed COS patients (mean baseline age: 14.72+/-2.63, 117 scans) and 50 age and sex-matched, right-handed healthy controls (mean baseline age: 15.15+/-3.37, 125 scans). Cortical thickness was calculated at 40,962 homologous points across each cerebral hemisphere using a fully automated, validated method. Differences in developmental asymmetry patterns across the cortical surface were analyzed using a linear mixed effects regression model. No significant asymmetry differences were found either for cross-sectional comparisons of COS and healthy controls across the lateral and medial cortical surfaces or with respect to timing of developmental changes in asymmetry. The present findings do not support asymmetry differences for this severe, early form of schizophrenia.

ABSTRACT: Many cognitive, emotional and behavioural traits, as well as psychiatric disorders are highly heritable. However, identifying the specific genes and mechanisms by which this heritability manifests has been elusive. One approach to make this problem more tractable has been to attempt to identify and quantify biological markers that are intermediate steps along the gene-to-behaviour path. The field of neuroimaging offers several anatomic and physiologic possibilities to quantify. Stability over time has been proposed as a desired feature for these intermediate phenotypes. However, in this paper we discuss the value of looking at trajectories of anatomic brain development (i.e. morphometric changes over time), as opposed to static measures, as a phenotype. Examples drawn from longitudinal anatomic magnetic resonance imaging studies of typical development, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and childhood-onset schizophrenia are used to demonstrate the utility of trajectories of brain development as a phenotypic bridge between genes and behaviour in health and in illness.

Article: Clozapine Treatment of Childhood-Onset Schizophrenia: Evaluation of Effectiveness, Adverse Effects, and Long-Term Outcome[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Clozapine is a unique atypical antipsychotic with superior efficacy in treatment-resistant schizophrenia. Plasma concentration of clozapine and its major metabolite N-desmethylclozapine (NDMC) as well as the ratio of NDMC to clozapine have been reported to be predictors of clozapine response. Here we evaluate these as well as other measures in an effort to find predictors of response to clozapine in our early-onset treatment-refractory population. Fifty-four children and adolescents participated in double-blind (n = 22) or open-label (n = 32) clozapine trials. Clinical evaluations took place at baseline, week 6 on clozapine, and at 2- to 6-year follow-up. The data were analyzed in relation to demographics, age at onset, IQ, clozapine dose, and plasma concentrations of prolactin, clozapine, NDMC, and NDMC/clozapine ratio. Stepwise regression and correlation analyses were performed to find predictors of treatment response. Clinical improvement after 6 weeks of clozapine treatment, as measured by the percentage of improvement on the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale and the Scale for the Assessment of Positive Symptoms, was strongly associated with the NDMC/clozapine ratio at the 6-week time point (Pearson correlation coefficient: r = 0.41; p < .01 for Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale and r = 0.43; p < .01 for Scale for the Assessment of Positive Symptoms). Although the rate of side effects was higher than that typically found in the adult population, it did not appear to be related to clozapine dose, clozapine or NDMC plasma concentrations, or NDMC/clozapine ratio. Outcome at long-term follow-up, as measured by Children's Global Assessment Scale, was associated with lesser illness severity at baseline and with greater improvement during the initial 6 weeks of clozapine treatment. The NDMC/clozapine ratio may be a valuable predictor of response to clozapine and may suggest new approaches to clozapine treatment.
Article: XXY (Klinefelter Syndrome): A Pediatric Quantitative Brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging Case-Control Study[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: An extra X chromosome in males (XXY), known as Klinefelter syndrome, is associated with characteristic physical, cognitive, and behavioral features of variable severity. The objective of this study was to examine possible neuroanatomical substrates of these cognitive and behavioral features during childhood and adolescence. MRI brain scans were acquired for 42 XXY and 87 healthy XY age-matched control males. We compared these 2 groups on regional brain volumes and cortical thickness. Total cerebral volume and all lobar volumes except parietal white matter were significantly smaller in the XXY group, whereas lateral-ventricle volume was larger. Consistent with the cognitive profile, the cortex was significantly thinner in the XXY group in left inferior frontal, temporal, and superior motor regions. The brain-imaging findings of preferentially affected frontal, temporal, and motor regions and relative sparing of parietal regions are consistent with observed cognitive and behavioral strengths and weaknesses in XXY subjects.

ABSTRACT: Sleep disturbances in psychiatric disease have long been reported. However, research on sleep disturbances in child and adolescent psychiatric disorders is limited. We examined the relationship of sleep disturbance to clinical severity and co-morbid diagnoses (e.g. anxiety), for a population with childhood-onset schizophrenia (COS). Sixty-one COS patients underwent a medication-free inpatient observation period as part of an NIMH study of COS. Sleep quantity during the last 5-7 days of a patient's medication-free period was measured using safety records and daily nursing notes. Subjects were divided into two groups: "good sleepers" (>6 h) and "poor sleepers" (<6 h) based on the average of total hours slept per night. Comparisons between groups were made with respect to clinical ratings at both admission and during washout period, co-morbid diagnosis of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and a susceptibility gene (G72) for COS. The median average sleep score for the entire group was 6.1 (S.D.=2.01) h. The good and poor sleep groups differed significantly in terms of severity of positive symptoms (SAPS) and negative symptoms at admission (SANS) both on admission and during the medication-free period. There was no significant relationship between G72 genotypes and a past and/or present diagnosis of GAD. COS patients suffer from significant sleep disturbances and the sleep disturbance is highly related to the symptom severity. As there are numerous health implications of poor sleep, clinicians should have a low threshold for treating sleep disturbances in this population.

ABSTRACT: Childhood-onset schizophrenia is a rare but severe form of the disorder that is frequently treatment resistant. The psychiatrist has a limited evidence base to guide treatment, particularly as there are no trials in children comparing atypical antipsychotics, the mainstay of current treatment. To compare the efficacy and safety of olanzapine and clozapine, hypothesizing that clozapine would be more efficacious. Double-blind randomized 8-week controlled trial, with a 2-year open-label follow-up. National Institute of Mental Health study, January 1998 to June 2005. Patients underwent reassessment 2 years after discharge. Children and adolescents recruited nationally, aged 7 to 16 years, meeting unmodified DSM-IV criteria for schizophrenia, and resistant to treatment with at least 2 antipsychotics. After drug washout and a 1- to 3-week antipsychotic-free period, patients were randomized to treatment with clozapine (n = 12) or olanzapine (n = 13). The Clinical Global Impression Severity of Symptoms Scale and Schedule for the Assessment of Negative/Positive Symptoms. Clozapine was associated with a significant reduction in all outcome measures, whereas olanzapine showed a less consistent profile of clinical improvement. While there were moderate to large differential treatment effects in favor of clozapine, these reached significance only in the alleviation of negative symptoms from an antipsychotic-free baseline (P = .04; effect size, 0.89). Clozapine was associated with more overall adverse events. At 2-year follow-up, 15 patients were receiving clozapine with evidence of sustained clinical improvement, but additional adverse events emerged, including lipid anomalies (n = 6) and seizures (n = 1). While not demonstrating definitively the superiority of clozapine compared with olanzapine in treatment-refractory childhood-onset schizophrenia, the study suggests that clozapine has a more favorable profile of clinical response, which is balanced against more associated adverse events.

ABSTRACT: Puberty is a time of striking changes in cognition and behavior. To indirectly assess the effects of puberty-related influences on the underlying neuroanatomy of these behavioral changes we will review and synthesize neuroimaging data from typically developing children and adolescents and from those with anomalous hormone or sex chromosome profiles. The trajectories (size by age) of brain morphometry differ between boys and girls, with girls generally reaching peak gray matter thickness 1-2 years earlier than boys. Both boys and girls with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (characterized by high levels of intrauterine testosterone), have smaller amygdala volume but the brain morphometry of girls with CAH did not otherwise significantly differ from controls. Subjects with XXY have gray matter reductions in the insula, temporal gyri, amygdala, hippocampus, and cingulate-areas consistent with the language-based learning difficulties common in this group.
Article: Hormonal Correlates of Clozapine-Induced Weight Gain in Psychotic Children: An Exploratory Study[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Weight gain is a serious side effect of atypical antipsychotics, especially in childhood. In this study, the authors examined six weight gain-related hormones in patients with childhood-onset schizophrenia (COS) after 6 weeks of clozapine treatment. Fasting serum samples for 24 patients with COS and 21 matched healthy controls (HC) were obtained. Levels of leptin, insulin, adiponectin, amylin, ghrelin, and tumor necrosis factor alpha were measured and compared between the groups. For 23 patients with COS, hormonal levels were measured at background and week 6 of clozapine treatment. Change in body mass index was correlated with levels of clozapine and changes in hormonal levels and clinical ratings. At baseline, COS did not differ significantly from HC on any hormonal measure. Clozapine treatment was associated with significant (7.9% +/- 8.5%) increase in mean body mass index. Only leptin levels increased significantly from baseline to week 6 on clozapine (p = .003). Body mass index increase was significantly correlated with decrease in ghrelin and adiponectin and was positively correlated with clinical improvement. This is the first study of weight gain-related hormones in children on clozapine. Hormonal changes are correlated with weight gain. How effectiveness of clozapine is linked to weight gain remains uncertain.

ABSTRACT: Long-term outcomes in children with atypical psychosis have been poorly studied. Four to 6 weeks of inpatient observation and up to 11 years (mean, 4.0 +/- 1.3 years) of follow- up have afforded us some experience with this probably heterogeneous group of transiently psychotic patients commonly mislabeled as schizophrenic. Despite severe preadmission morbidity, some patients have successfully remained neuroleptic-free since discharge. Predictors of good versus poor outcome were sought. Of roughly 150 patients admitted with the presumptive diagnosis of schizophrenia, 32 patients were discharged meeting criteria for psychosis not otherwise specified (NOS), otherwise labeled by the NIMH team as "multidimensionally impaired" (MDI). Admission and biannual follow-up data included a semistructured clinical interview with the Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School Age Children (K-SADS), IQ testing, clinical rating scales (e.g., Clinical Global Impression Scale (CGI), Children's Global Assessment Scale (C-GAS), Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS), Scales for the Assessment Negative and Positive Symptoms (SANS and SAPS), and Bunney-Hamburg (B-H)). At follow-up (as of February 2005) 38% of patients (12 of 32) met criteria for bipolar 1 disorder, 12% (4 of 23) for major depressive disorder (MDD), and 3% (1 of 32) for schizoaffective disorder. The remaining 47% of patients (15 of 32) were divided into two groups on the basis of whether they were in remission and neuroleptic-free ("good outcome," n = 5) or still severely impaired and/or psychotic regardless of pharmacotherapy ("poor outcome," n = 10) at follow-up. Good-outcome patients had a significantly higher baseline level of functioning (on admission and on medications). This was demonstrated by better scores on CGI (3.5 +/- 0.6 versus 4.8 +/- 0.8; p = 0.03) and C-GAS (66.3 +/- 6.3 versus 38.6 +/- 11.5; p = 0.01). Groups were otherwise comparable in demographic data (gender, race, socioeconomic status, age at onset), months of neuroleptic exposure, severity of psychotic symptoms, and level of premorbid functioning. C-GAS (which correctly classified 85.7% of good-outcome subjects) and CGI at baseline appear to predict outcome. On other variables, MDI subgroups were remarkably similar.

ABSTRACT: Extensive experience with the diagnosis of childhood-onset schizophrenia indicates a high rate of false positives. Most mislabeled patients have chronic disabling, affective, or behavioral disorders. The authors report the cases of three children who passed stringent initial childhood-onset schizophrenia "screens" but had no chronic psychotic disorder. For two, the European literature yielded more fitting diagnoses: psychosis not otherwise specified (e.g., reactive or psychogenic psychosis, paranoid schizophrenia), single episode in full remission (e.g., anxiety psychosis), and factitious disorder (DSM-IV 300.16). These cases illustrate that transient psychotic illnesses can be misdiagnosed as childhood-onset schizophrenia. Proper identification can prevent years of inappropriate therapies.
Article: Pervasive developmental disorder and childhood-onset schizophrenia: Comorbid disorder or a phenotypic variant of a very early onset illness?[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Childhood-onset schizophrenia (COS) is a severe form of the adult-onset disorder with a high rate of premorbid developmental abnormalities. Early symptoms of pervasive developmental disorder (PDD) have been reported in five independent studies of COS. In this study, we compared evidence for premorbid PDD as a nonspecific manifestation of impaired neurodevelopment seen in schizophrenia, or as an independent risk factor for COS. Diagnosis of past or current autism or PDD was made according to the DSM-IV criteria. COS patients with and without PDD were compared with respect to neuropsychological, clinical, and neurobiological measures. Several candidate genes for autism were examined in the entire COS sample and the subgroup with PDD using the Transmission Disequilibrium Test (TDT) and Quantitative TDT (QTDT). Nineteen (25%) of COS probands had a lifetime diagnosis of PDD: one met criteria for autism, two for Asperger's disorder, and 16 for PDD not otherwise specified. Premorbid social impairment was most common feature for COS-PDD subjects. The PDD group did not differ from the rest of the COS sample with respect to age of onset, IQ, response to medications, and rate of familial schizotypy. Unexpectedly, two siblings of COS-PDD probands met criteria for nuclear autism. There was no difference between PDD and non-PDD groups with respect to initial brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) measures. However, rate of gray matter loss was greater for PDD (n = 12) than for the non-PDD (n = 27) subgroup (-19.5 +/- 11.3 mL/year vs. -9.6 +/- 15.3 mL/year; p =.05). None of eight candidate genes for autism were associated with COS or COS-PDD. Premorbid PDD in COS is more likely to be a nonspecific marker of severe early abnormal neurodevelopment. However, the occurrence of two siblings of COS-PDD probands (17%) with nuclear autism remains to be understood.
