Southeastern Connecticut Delays/Cancellations
Norwich - City officials met for two hours Friday with a state prosecutor who handles housing issues to discuss repeated, dangerous overcrowding violations at two houses on West Thames Street.
City Director of Planning Peter Davis said the meeting with Judith Dicine, supervisory assistant state's attorney for housing matters, went very well. Davis said Dicine agreed to take on the case and work with city police to investigate whether criminal charges should be filed against building owners Robert Eldridge and Lin Feng Eldridge of 18 Fitchville Road, Montville.
"I was very happy with the amount of effort she appears to want to put into this," Davis said.
The Day reported earlier this month that city officials had become frustrated at the apparent lack of progress in the criminal investigation after they turned over files and asked the housing prosecutor in the New London state's attorney's office in October to take action.
Davis declined to comment further on the meeting. Dicine said she could not comment on the potential investigation "other than to say that we met."
Patrick McCormack, executive director of the Uncas Health District, and Sanitarian David Coughlin joined city Zoning Enforcement Officer Tianne Curtis, city Code Enforcement Officers Edward Martin and George Gardner and Davis at the closed-door meeting Friday at Davis' office.
McCormack said he could not comment on the substance of the meeting. City officials provided files detailing the three overcrowding incidents at 718 and 724 West Thames St. since 2008.
The first incident started when neighbors complained of a failed septic system at 718 West Thames. An Uncas Health District official inspecting the septic system repairs saw smoke emanating from the basement. When building inspectors responded to that call, they discovered illegal bedrooms in the basement and the main floors of both houses.
City inspectors ordered the illegal temporary walls and electrical wiring removed and the house restored to single-family conditions.
In August 2010, a neighbor complained, and inspectors found four bedrooms in the basement and five on the main floors of each house. Temporary wall partitions and illegal wiring that had been removed were back. Another illegal bedroom was found above the garage. The two houses were condemned for the second time.
On Oct. 24, 2012, inspectors were alerted anew to the violations after firefighters were called to 718 West Thames St. for a medical emergency and found a large statue on the outdoor front steps blocking the door. The front entranceway had been converted into an illegal bedroom.
City inspectors found three basement bedrooms, one in the garage and six on the main floor at 718 West Thames, built as a two-bedroom house. Next door at 724 West Thames, also a two-bedroom house, inspectors found two basement bedrooms and four on the main floor.
In December 2012, Robert Eldridge obtained city building permits to remove the wall partitions and electrical work and restore the houses to single-family status. He did receive a permit to create a legal third bedroom at 718 West Thames. The houses were cleared for occupancy in January.

Latitude 2100: Netbook Not Just for Students
Dell takes the new 10" 2100 netbook out of its Latitude business series to target students, but it also serves as a mobile business device. Ubuntu 8.10 runs on it.
The base configuration for the new mini-netbook costs $369. For that you get a rubberized casing in one of five colors measuring 10" x 7.3" and tapering in thickness from less than an inch in front to one-and-a-half inches in the back. With the 3-cell battery (providing about three hours of service) the device weighs just under 3 pounds. Inside is an Atom N270 processor with 1.6 GHz, 512-KByte L2 cache and 533-MHz FSB. The base Linux configuration has the usual connectivity options (USB 2.0 x3, VGA, mic in and audio out), SATA drives up to 80 GBytes and hard drives at 5400 RPM, 1 GByte RAM, Gigabit Ethernet, WLAN 802.11b/g and a 3-in-2 card reader -- but no camera.
With all possible add-ons, bells and whistles, you can easily triple the price. Next to more L2 cache, you can get more disk space, a webcam, additional working memory, Bluetooth, a touchscreen, a 6-cell battery or Intel WLAN 802.11a/g/n. Additional support options satisfy various business needs. Clearly Dell is thereby targeting students on the one hand, but also positioning the 2100 as part of its Latitude series for small and middle sized businesses on the other. Especially appealing to students is the rubberized casing and WLAN indicator when in the classroom.
The Latitude 2100 is orderable from the Dell Online website. The Windows version costs somewhat more than the Ubuntu one. However, Dell also reduced the shipping costs to less than half.

Best site to buy games drm-free.
Sadly I didn't find this site and saw other GOG reviews that praised it. I purchased a game described as "download for multiple platforms" and started to download it. I cancelled the download when I found out it was ONLY Windows, and then asked for a refund. Throughout the purchase and all over their site is a "30-Day Money Back" guarantee, but when I contacted the site they only offered store credit under the guise that the game was already downloaded (also a lie). Not only did they lie about the platform of the game but the refund guarantee as well. I refused to take their store credit as I would not be using this scam website again. It looked like a scam for a reason: it IS!
Tip for consumers: Don't use it! It's a scam!Ask Jack about GOG
They seem to have some fine games on there...but I wouldn't know, I couldn't get it to work on my computer. Then life happened and I got busy: a month or so later, I contact them and tell them it won't work, but they won't refund my money. The email I received from "Lisa" in their customer service was short and not very honest/polite (it ended with the phrase "I can't help you.") After I told them their customer service sucks, they begrudgingly offered a credit. I told them to stick it up their a$$. I refuse to support a company that treats its customers like crap and so should you. Look elsewhere for your games.
After repeated emails, i am at a loss as the company won't refund me my monies (even though it accepts the programmes doesn't work on Mac, even though they clearly advertise that it does). Instead they offer a credit on their account. Why should i have to settle for a credit? Can anyone give me advise what i should do?
Gog.com has delivered countless titles, playable straight "out of the box." This site has made it easy to download and play classic titles immediately on modern versions of Windows. I am impressed with the service and the library of games available.
Got myself Kings Bounty on GOG.COM.Had every single bug possible,payed the same price at Steam.com.No issues what soever.Waste of money and time
Its a complete scam. I downloaded commados pack and it wont work. reinstalled gog and galaxy etc. all games too. wont even load. I cancelled the credit card i used just in case its a hoax. Oh and go ahead and try to use the site to contact customer care. Its not possible as they dont exist. Be warned I really think all the reviews and so called "users"are complete shills. I bet no one has ever downloaded a gamer from them.
Apparently if a CD-Key is bought from a third party and that key happened to be originally bought with a stolen credit card. They'll revoke YOUR game after you bought it legally, despite having no knowledge whatsoever about how it was originally purchased. Without any notification.
I bought NWN diamond and NWN 2 Complete and neither would even download. I tried the new Gog Galaxy and the older Gog downloader and neither will even start the download. I tried the use the report feature two different times and it pops up an error message. I contacted tech support and never heard back. Poorest quality game site I have ever seen.
I bought the game "Torchlight" from gog.com on macintosh. It fails to work, and I've messaged their technical support three times and counting about it, over the past week. I've received no reply. Also note that three of the positive reviews for gog.com on this site are cut and pasted from each other, which is always suspicious.
No installation instructions requires you to download a 4 gig file in browser before it can install do not buy large games from gog.
Downloaded software and it would not run. Asked for refund and was told to send diag. files. So now I paid for the opportunity to be their debugger! Think not. They claim software would work - it did not so refund my money. DO NOT USE THIS SITE.
If you ever have a problem with anything there will be no help. Their payment options also are quite odd. I had more then enough money and a card that allowed international. would not accept payment. then switched money to paypal account to buy it. told me payment was not accepted but got charged. Had to fight tooth and nail to get the money back but they could not give me the game. I find them to be garbage mostly. but if you can get your games might be ok. Go steam if you have an option. Also if you notice most of the reviews are copy/paste. clearly company at work.
Good website. There's a lot of old but cool games you can buy and play on.
I love this site, it's easy to use and I found a lot of games I haven't played for a looong time! Very fun and the games are at the right price. I'm really glad to have found this site. ^^
Been wanting to buy something off GOG for a few years and finally a Dungeon Keeper 2 promo came along where it was like $2.50. I couldn't pass it up. Well not only did the site actually do what it was supposed to, but the game was fully patched AND actually plays properly!!!! And on top of that I got Witcher for free which I wasn't expecting and didn't even know about that promo. Maybe my expectations are really low and I'm used to things never, ever working, but GOG did come through seamlessly.
So... obviously you need Steam due to some games ONLY being on Steam (and some content being workshop-only also, and multi-player 1st or 3rd party...), but whenever possible get your stuff DRM-free from GOG.
1 of the best site i found really enjoy with it! love!
FANTASTIC SITE! Great bargains on great games, always doing special deals, and entirely trustworthy. I've bought loads of games from them with not a single problem so far.
Can't recommend GOG enough.
Love the site. Good deals on games, delivery is quick. Never had an issue with them.
Great website for your old school games. Every game comes with it's own installer from GOG that works on all operating systems. Great prices and special deals are always running for many different games. I recommend this to anyone who is looking for classic games of any kind.
I agree entirely with Chris O. review of GOG. Cheap, reliable, DRM free and a really great community and customer support to boot. I highly recommend them.
One word of caution, the reviews on the site often tend to rate games much more highly than they deserve, so take that with a grain of salt.
If you keep DOS mouse drivers on a floppy, remember the correct IRQ for a Soundblaster 16, and instinctively reach for the soundcard instead of the USB socket when you plug in a joystick, this is likely to be right up your street. And If the mere whisper of "3D Realms" brings a wistful tear to your eye, you'll be at home here. Because GOG stands for Good Old Games, and it's achieved (more or less) the classic PC gamer's equivalent of discovering the Holy Grail: making a whole swathe of the best classic DOS and Windows95/98 games run in Windows XP or Vista. No more emulations, no more DOSBox, and no need to keep a creaky old 386 machine in the garage for the purpose.
If you have absolutely no idea what any of that meant, this is not for you. But for those of us who blasted our way through Duke Nukem 3D or drove across the desert in Interstate76, and for anyone who wants to discover playability that doesn't depend on 21st century graphics, GOG has put together a collection of games which some of us never expected to see again and which newcomers to early PC gaming should find a refreshing change.
Amazingly, the games are also available at classic prices too, with most being in the $5.99 to $9.99 range. And as GOG has acquired international licences, they're able to supply the games for download at the same price to anyone, anywhere, legally. And there's more, in the form of free manuals, or strategy guides, wallpapers and other free goodies to be downloaded after you've purchased a game.
GOG games are "DRM-free", meaning that there is no copy protection involved. Once you own a copy, you are free to load it up on as many computers as you like, as often as you like. And if you run into troubles, there's an active community ready to help.
So that's the PR, and it seems from reading customer experiences that while it's broadly true, not every game runs as smoothly as intended. I took a look at the reviews of Interstate'76, a 1998 game which I recall fairly fondly . For five or six bucks, or the equivalent, it would be fun to see it again. But apparently this version, though claimed to run on XP, is still terribly buggy and crash-prone and there are some unhappy purchasers out there. I gather at least some of the issues are fixable - anyone who remembers Glide and the Voodoo Banshee card will know that back in the day, compatibility with your video card was by no means guaranteed and sometimes you had to go hunt for drivers. This appears to still be the case, at least with this game, which seems to have shipped with the Glide files missing. But it's the exception rather than the rule, as far as I can see, because reviews for the random choice of other games I looked at were much more favorable. I guess the later games may be easier to 'port' to XP, and as they are supplied fully pre-patched to the latest versions, any bugs inherent in the originals should be long gone. Still, check the reviews before buying, as you would do anywhere else.
The team behind the site has a nice sense of humor, as evidenced by this comment about being in "beta":
"As with every self-respecting website in the Web 2.0 era, we figure we have to keep the site in beta for at least a year before we can launch it. So be warned: if you don't sign up quickly and send us your feedback ASAP, we might think of launching it earlier."
Classic gaming (OK, playing old games) isn't going to be for everyone. I doubt anyone who's shelled out the big bucks for a top-of-the-line gaming machine is planning on running any DOS games, but maybe this will encourage them to experiment. After all, you can buy as many as ten of these games for the price of one modern game, and some of them are good enough to be fondly remembered and replayed ten or twelve years on. I wonder how many of this year's games we will be able to say that about?

Wednesday, July 09, 2014
A few months ago, I promised, via a blog, to share some lessons learned from my visits to a very helpful therapist. This is a therapist who has restored my belief that therapy is a useful tool. Well, she and a friend of mine who is also in the profession and who is a very balanced, wise, kind person who seems to really help the people she sees. Let's face it, some of us know some people who bill themselves as counselors or therapists, or who possess advanced degrees in psychology or psychiatry, who are NOT people we wish to rely upon or bare our souls to. I have known a few who really caused me to look askance at therapy. Anyhow, back to A., a woman with great sense of humor and the willingness to really listen to me and engage with me. Frankly, I don't want to fork over a $55.00 co pay for 50 minutes of someone looking at me blankly and repeating the phrase "and how did that make you feel?"
So, at our most recent visit, I was telling her about my current state of deep acceptance, and renewed willingness, to really face my reality. Truly accepting that I have eaten my way to the point that my one and only precious body is being forced to drag around 30-50 pounds of excessive, unappealing, uncomfortable, taxing fat. I shared with her something that I am reluctant to admit, that makes me squirm a bit, actually. And, yes, since I mentioned it, I am going to share it with you, Sparkly ones. I have mentioned, many times, to you all, to my friends and family, and to A., my kind therapist, my "wonky" thyroid. I dug deep, shoved my ego aside, found a bit of courage, and asked A. "Do you think I hide behind my malfunctioning thyroid? Do you think I use it to excuse my current state of obesity like some addicts I know use the excuse of a "bad back", to get pain pills and more pain pills?" (Note: I also know other people with terribly painful back problems for whom pain meds are necessary for mobility and quality of life - I do not confuse the two groups, believe me - I have great compassion for that kind of suffering.) As I further explained to A. "My wacky thyroid does NOT order pizza. It does NOT visit the cupcake store. It does NOT stop at the convenience store for salty sugary silliness." So, I am on to my self, in terms of wanting to make that stupid little butterfly shaped gland the bad guy in this struggle. It is not THE cause. It may not help but it sure isn't the main problem. There are a lot of people who have similar ailments who are NOT dragging 30-50 extra pounds around, because they are willing to make the sacrifices necessary to compensate for the issue. So, there you have it. One more step on the road out of Denial Land. Honestly, it's a relief.

I had to chuckle b/c at my doc appt last week, he wanted to send me for blood tests, including TSH. I agreed, but told him that even if my thyroid turns out to be wonky, I can't blame it for all the overeating I do. I eat more than I move, there's no mystery in that. So I applaud you for declaring it here, to all your Sparkfriends, and Sparkpeople. I love that you aren't hiding behind a condition. I love that you're owning your actions. I do, too, but then still struggle to make new actions that all reflect this way of thinking. So, now on to us behaving like we think we should! Go, us!

Oh . . . my . . . heavens! You nailed it yet again! For a LONG time (since 1998 to be exact) I used my thyroid disease as an excuse. When I was finally ready to pick up the gauntlet and challenge myself to face reality . . . it's MY mouth that got me into the situation I was in. Sure, having an underactive thyroid doesn't help matters, but it's not insurmountable. It takes a little extra effort but it's possible to get healthy! THAT'S exactly what I chose to do when I joined SP in Jan. 2010. Once the excuses are shed, then the work of getting healthy can start in earnest.
You nailed it. You are onto you!! And good for you!!!

The things that I blame for not letting me exercise are the very reason I need to exercise! Age, weight, bad back, high blood pressure, copd, wait, I can probably think of more! You have spoken well, my friend!

Thanks for this wonderful honest blog!! I recently came to the realization that I am going to lose this weight in spite of my underactive thyroid and my Lupus which makes me take massive amounts of steroids. I am still the person putting those bad for me things in my body and I have the power to stop myself.
Report Inappropriate Comment
Yep--we need to take responsibility for our behavior. I could blame Du's cancer for my weight gain, but I know that is not the problem. I could blame my bad knees for being unwilling to walk as much, but when I started on this journey and began walking, I remember the pain from walking at 280 lbs. Everything hurt--back, knees, hips, and walking any distance at all really left me gasping for breath. I only have knee pain now, so that's really no excuse. I could blame a lot of things for gaining 30 pounds, but I'm not going to do it. And like you, it's a relief to once again realize it's up to me...I'm in charge of the decisions I make and I am determined to start making better choices! It's working! I'm down 7 of those 30 pounds and on my way back down to 150.

Thank you for the honesty, and the bravery to share.
Getting something like that out in the open only makes you stronger literally by the second. It adds strength and resilience to your daily armor, and fills up your energy reserves by allowing more of the beautiful things of the day to occupy your mind (and heart).
Unloading something heavy like that leaves room for growth and beauty my wonderful friend!!
As I often say (and say once again for good reason), thank you for posting!

Great insight....once you realize something like that, it has to help you make the right choices more often, although I can certainly understand that thought pattern. It's easy to feel like when there is a situation that makes it harder to lose weight that it's impossible. It's harder but not impossible. Good job!

Isn't this blog the definition of honesty and bravery together? Well done, Carole! Not an easy thing to be on to yourself this way and sharing it with the rest of the world. Now move on down the road out of Denial Land and dig deep. What other things fall into the same category as the wonky thyroid? Don't get angry with yourself, though. We all have things that we've been hiding behind. Admitting them is the first step in getting out of our hiding places. When the hide n seek ends, YOU will be the winner.

As responsible pet owners, we want to make sure our dogs and cats are properly cared for. Sharing your home with pets means dealing with pet hair, odors and other pet related challenges. Fortunately, there are some tips that can make life easier for us.
Baking Soda
Sprinkle baking soda in the bottom of litter boxes to help control odor. Generously sprinkle baking soda on carpets and furniture to remove odors. Work it in with a brush, let it sit overnight (if possible) then vacuum it up. It can be sprinkled on cats and dogs as a dry shampoo to freshen up their coat when bathing isn't possible. Leave it on for 10 or 15 minutes, then rub the coat down with a towel and follow with a good brushing. Baking soda can be toxic if large amounts are ingested by a dog or cat, but small amounts are safe if your pet should lick some off his coat or feet.

If you have not read "Our Daily Meds"--you should. But still.....
Big Question: How easy is it to request from an employee, "Please show us you last 2 year income tax returns!"--The questions are then easily resolved?
The NY Times article on this matter noted that the 3 docs added a bunch of small sample studies to make a conclusion. The conclusion was to better diagnose children with psychological problems. But, the journalists reason that the 3 docs' conclusions are skewed because they had conflicts of interest.
I wonder why other psychiatrists, and board members in the field let this happen: (1) making a broad conclusion from small sample studies, and (2) not noticing conflicts of interest.
This potential conflict of interest could be avoided if medical companies would post on an online searchable database their financial arrangements with physicians. In one of our online physician surveys, 78% of doctors thought that medical companies should post their payments to physicians online, and 67% were in favor of posting details on payments they receive, online -- see questions #12 and #13 on our survey, http://whatdoctorsthink.com/cgi-bin/comments.cgi?surgkickbacks-results
Transparency is key.
Robert Cykiert, M.D.
My understanding from reliable sources is that Doctors do not want to question other Doctors in regard to practice because of fears that their practice of medicine will also come under scrutiny. And so the "blind eye".
I hope that the legitimate questions about reporting potential conflicts of interest does not obscure the fact that young children can exhibit Bipolar disorder symptoms and that medications can help. Our youngest son was diagnosed with ADHD and then bipolar after he was hospitalized just prior to his 4th birthday. Medications have helped tremendously (though not completely) to give him a chance at a normal life. If other diseases can develop at a young age, why not psychiatric disorders? Just because it has not been in standard lexicon in the past doesn't mean that it is not legitimate. Running clinical trials on children is notoriously complicated, so I would take criticism of small studies with a grain of salt. Large studies on every group of children would be welcome, but quite difficult. In the meantime, children like my son are able to lead more stable lives that are less harmful to themselves and others.
Instances of deliberate breach of policy, including failure to file or knowingly filing an incomplete, erroneous, or misleading disclosure form, violations of the guidelines or failure to comply with prescribed monitoring procedures, will be adjudicated in accordance with applicable disciplinary policies and procedures of the Faculty of Medicine and of the affiliated hospitals. Possible sanctions will include the following:
1. Formal admonition;
2. The inclusion in the Faculty Member's file of a letter from the Office of the Dean indicating that the individual's good standing as a member of the Faculty has been called into question;
3. Ineligibility of the Faculty Member for grant applications, Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval, or supervision of graduate students;
4. Non-renewal of appointment;
5. Dismissal from the Faculty of Medicine.
We need to find a different way of funding medical research. Drug companies should not be funding medical research directly. Studies with commercial involvement should be in a separate category from academic research. Reporting conflicts of interest isn't even good enough. We need to have a system that eliminates conflict of interest from research altogether.
Grad students are not allowed to work beyond a minimal number of hours off-campus in order to work at their research assistant positions and retain their funding. Why do the professors and faculty get to have a different standard?
I think the potential conflicts of interests for doctors at Columbia should be analyzed in terms of TeenScreen.
This doesn't surprise me. A fellow like Biderman is not trained in research so how could he possibly do any worthwhile research. It is readily apparent that he is only interested in the money and the glory associated with pushing his ideas. We are generating a society of people (from these children) that are filled with excuses as to why they are failures in life. People like Biderman are contributing to these failures and making money from it at the same time.
This is the state of modern science and research... Who is really interested in the quality of data any more?.. Do these people really want me to believe (after years of deliberately covering up "consulting fees") that their research was not tainted in any way at all?
There are very few truly objective symptoms when a kid needs an antipsychotic drug... Yes, there are cases were the drugs are needed, but do you really think that number of clinically psychologically challenged kids in need of drug correction can not skyrocket so much within a decade? We are easily generating a nationwide experiment with potentially horrific consequence to entire generation due to pill pushers and pocket stuffers with noble fancy credentials from Harvard and Mass General... and you know what? The worst part is that a lot of researchers from less dignified places cannot publish in leading journals or present contrary data at a big meeting just because of the people like the ones mentioned in the article, who come from big name places. I am surprised that they are still affiliated with Harvard Medical School and MGH. I guess, making a passing sexist remark (and I do not defend the former Harvard president) gets you fired much faster than years of research conducted in a way that does not comply with simple ethical guidelines...
My understanding is that these guys are killers and should pay the ultimate price. What LOSERS. Money hungry losers putting drugs into children. LOSERS and thieves
An unmitigated disgrace to all academic physicians and medical schools, only possible to make worse if Harvard does not publicly censure and dismiss Dr. Biederman, who is no longer and legitimate clinical researcher or scholar.
No academic physician would reasonably believe these sorts of consulting fees are reasonable or acceptable. They are obscene. Dr. Biederman has in reality become an employee of the pharmaceutical industry, so he no longer needs his Harvard salary.
This sort of activity makes me crave the type of industry crushing policies that Obama/Clinton might unleash on the cash bloated medical community. For the life of me, I don't understand why these people went to medical school. As they are obviously so completely absorbed with generating personal wealth, why not go to wall Street where you can't screw with untold numbers of children's lives. All other decent and ethical people in the medical community need to drum this crap out of the industry, or you'll all suffer the Obama/Clinton single payer, low pay scourge.
Let's see, the head of Boston's prestigious Mclean Psychiatric hospital resigned recently due to an admitted improper relationship with a patient.
These 3 "prominent psychiatrists" are exposed for underreported mega-payments from the pharma companies who benefit from their research.
(And some of that research is about why small children should be medicated for bipolar disorder?)
What next?
Sounds like some of the Harvard Medical hospitals in the Partners Healthcare group need a good house cleaning.
If the "fish rots from the head", one can only imagine what might be going on unchecked at lower levels in the "psychiatry" departments of these organizations.
Maybe Harvard is growing too long on cache' and too short on humility, duty and integrity -- oh, and "Veritas" (Latin for "truth") a word emblazoned on Harvard's crimson crest.
My experience with the Harvard culture is that there are far too many people at Harvard and its affiliates for whom "greed" and "prestige" are of overwhelming importance.
Fame and cash are what attract bad people to Harvard affiliated institutions.
When can Americans find common sense in life? Myriad of medical findings and laws have replaced what people in other countries find, experience, and rely on in their much more simpler existence.
Do we really need conduct research to show playing soccer consume more calories than jogging? Are we unintentionaly cultivating a culture for weaklings, so that doctors and lawyers can profit from the physical and moral decay?
The actions of these few docs in the psychiatry area is just the tip of the iceberg. I worked in the cardiovascular area for years and the cardiologists at Harvard and Duke were receiving millions of dollars from Big Pharma. In fact, companies would line up at their doors to sign them up for research, consulting and speaking. I can't help but wonder if all of these opinion leaders reported their side incomes appropriately. The public would be outraged.
Kudos to Sen. Grassley and good luck with your probe.
Dear Scott Hensley:
There's a much better answer to the senator's question of "why weren't Harvard and Mass General watching over these doctors?" and it has little to do with their "[trust]" of these corrupt physicians who may have unnecessarily endangered tens of thousands of children. Follow the money Mr Hensley. Large medical centers like Mass and Harvard are more or less paid off to run Big Pharma's shoddy research (yes, it's crap research that clouds medical science). And, none of this is possible without the paid-support of these avaricious physicians, who are so vital to the approval and marketing of multi-billion dollar blockbusters.
Hospital and medical school administrators are no strangers to Big Pharma largesse, and they know how well it mitigates ethical conundrums and facilitates human experimentation--for the sake of maintaining record profits by the pharmaceutical industry--instead of ethically defensible sake of aiding personal/public health. And I suspect every large medical center in the U.S. is in this game.
A related game: the medical school cartel, which has placed strict controls on the number of medical school students. Any more and their accreditation is threatened. The reason? Follow the money, again: Since far too many American medical students do it for the money/prestige, they would beeline it to the shiny medical centers--instead of underserved areas--and compete against entrenched specialists or even physician-investigators vying for Big Pharma payoffs. Sincerely, TS (Manhattan)
It's too bad that not one mainstream media source (not to mention the internet whacko sites) has sought to balance the story by investigating what Grassley has to gain in this hit job.
His second-biggest donor is BLUE CROSS/BLUE SHIELD. And ask the parents of children with mental disorders how easy it is to get medical coverage for their children. Of course insurance companies--our biggest lobbies!--don't want to pay for these drugs. And they use grandstanding politicians as their hit men.
Shame on all the media for missing the big picture here. Just because reporters and editors can't understand that babies can be born with damaged brains doesn't mean you have to share your ignorance with your readers.
You will accept birth defects as hearts holes, deformed limbs, lungs that don't work properly, and all the rest. But the brain--the most vulnerable organ of all--you think it always comes out wholly perfect?
I am ashamed of my fellow journalists this week, especially the New York times, which gladly took up Grassley's mission, no questions asked.
Beyond ashamed. Enraged at the biases, the ignorance, and the damned lazy reporting.
If Americans weren't so science-phobic, maybe researchers would be made to feel less "embarrassed" about taking pharma funding.
And what is the alternative source of funding? We're going to depend on our government? God forbid! There are enough undiagnosed disorders in Congress to keep compassionate physicians such as Biederman busy for years.
George Bush himself....if only he'd gotten competent psychiatric/medical care early on, perhaps his own ADHD symptoms wouldn't have brought this country to its knees.
The anti-science president of an anti-science culture. It's fitting.
The pharmacracy needs to be curbed. I visited with a psychiatrist not too long ago who, after less than a one hour meeting and a few flimsy questions diagnosed me as "manic depressive" and prescribed not one, but 8 different medications. As I was sitting in the waiting room, I observed three separate pharmaceuticals reps, within minutes of each other, walk in with their little black bags and deposit untold boxes of drugs with the receptionist. Judging by her reaction, you'd have thought they were leaving her dozens of flowers. One of these suited and impeccably manicured reps even managed a sheepish smile my way. It became apparent to me the MD was no more than a disgusting "drug queen", certainly not at all interested in my personal well being. I wasted no time in flushing the copious quantities of med samples she passed on to me. After hours and hours of research into bipolar disorder, I found none of it applies to me, and I clearly do not have this so-called imbalance. I've been under a tremendous amount of pressure, but I think for me the cure lies with yoga, zen, better nutrition and not some money-grubbing quack who should, herself, be examined.
The world of psychiatry is often a world of smoke and mirrors with lots of money to be made. My mother made a $2 million dollar deal with a psych hospital to keep me hospitalized. The trumped up diagnosis was "bipolar". The hospital tried to make sure they got the money by trying to kill me. Go to http://www.survivinghighsociety or Amazon.com for my book.

This is a light (474g on WTB website) fast rolling tire. I bought it to race on a harpack singletrack trail. I have found that it grips so well that I can use it on pretty much any trail here in Arkansas. It does wear fast and is a little pricey, but if you want a tire that will perform and compete while remaining versatile, this is your ticket.

Yahoo! board unanimously approves the acquisition...
May 19, 2013 3:20 by kippreport
Latest Update: According to allthingsd.com – the source that first broke news of this potential acquisition – Yahoo's board has unanimously agreed on the all-cash $1.1 billion acquisition of Tumblr and an official announcement is expected on Monday, citing sources close to the board.
In the same way that Instagram CEO Kevin Systrom maintains control of his application at Facebook, David Karp (Tumblr CEO) will stay at Yahoo! for at least four years, get a 'windfall' of cash and retain 'a lot' of control over the service. The upside? Yahoo intends to bring years of experience and established infrastructure to Tumblr's relatively nascent advertising model.
Since Marissa Mayer took over as Yahoo's CEO last summer, this has been her largest acquisition yet.
Previous Story:
Yahoo needs to be cool again. It needs a younger target audience – preferably one between 18 and 24 years old. It needs to invest more in marketing and become more 'visibly' trendy. And one of its main lingering challenges? Its aging demographic.
Kipp is slightly paraphrasing; these aren't our words. Earlier this week, at JP Morgan's Global Technology conference, Yahoo's CFO, Ken Goldman, explicitly highlighted the company's challenges and its need to slightly shake things up again. As it turns out, Yahoo's possible $1.1 billion acquisition of Tumblr – a blogging platform founded by the now 26-year-old David Karp in 2007, with more than 86 million blogs – may serve as their path to 'coolness'.
And why wouldn't it? According to analysts, the site has the '18- to-24-year-old sweet spot' demographic, along with high levels of credibility among its users. The real question isn't necessarily whether this move would be good for Yahoo, rather, would it be beneficial for Tumblr's repertoire in the long run.
Whenever a billion-dollar tech acquisition is imminent, both excitement and heavy criticism are bound to follow. Countless reports have suggested that Yahoo's board meeting on Sunday evening will decide whether the take-over is the right move for Yahoo!.
Interestingly enough, on the other end of the spectrum, are reports – or rather speculation – about the invasion of an outsider. Quite similarly to how Facebook 'stole' the acquisition of Instagram away from Twitter in 2012, rumours suggest that the social network will, could or should swoop in again and place a higher bid for Tumblr.
According to the Business Insider, it is very unlikely. Apparently, the notion that someone within the Tumblr team purposely sparked rumours of this so-called 'auction' to try and drive up the acquisition price was a believable one – until they were told that no such auction or offer will be made.
There are a few outcomes to tonight's meeting. Either Yahoo's Marissa Mayer will decide that acquiring Tumblr isn't worth a billion dollars and that a strategic partnership, rather than a full-blown acquisition, would serve them well. On the other hand, Karp could also just as easily raise the price of his company drastically and not accept a penny under – or decide that he'd no longer like to sell it.
Either way, nothing is certain yet, and the fact that Facebook hasn't yet made a public offer does not mean they won't. At this point, it's improbable but not impossible.

Lorelei in mythology is a siren with the otherworldly power to captivate. It's the perfect name for designer Laurie K. Willard's collection of captivating handbags: Each clutch, hobo and tote has a distinctive blend of design, craft and humor. Lorelei pieces combine smart, sophisticated shapes with striking prints and leathers, and are often seen tucked under the arms or slung across the shoulders of Hollywood sirens like Reese Witherspoon, Naomi Watts and Tyra Banks.
Designer Laurie K. Willard's collection of handbags, Lorelei, took off after winning a student design contest at FIT sponsored by Elle Magazine and the Accessories Council. She received the honor of "Best Handbag Design" and had the unique distinction of having her collection displayed on New York's Time Square Jumbotron. The name Lorelei –the siren – captures the essence of her philosophy: "fashion can make you ridiculous; style, which is yours to control individually, can make you attractive, a near siren." Taken from poet Marianne Moore, these inspired words are the heart behind Willard's collection. From beach totes to hobos to evening clutches, Willard's distinctive sense of design, craft, and humor touches every piece in the Lorelei collection. Smart sophisticated shapes combined with striking prints and leathers create the line proudly displayed in boutiques nationwide, including the famed Henri Bendel and now, Gilt Groupe. Lorelei has been featured in InStyle, Cosmopolitan, Elle and Lucky magazines and photographed slung around the shoulders of celebrities like Reese Witherspoon, Naomi Watts and Janet Jackson.

This product was recommended to me by my Dr, and it has worked extremely well for me. It supports my immune system without overstimulating it. I notice a big improvement if my allergies are starting to turn into a sinus infection... I will start taking this right away, and it will cleat out any hint of an infection. NAC also works very well to stimulate (but not overly so) the immune system.

iherbs prices are great when compared to those in the uk. You still normally gain slightly even after paying vat postage etc. Some items like this don't seem to be obviously available in the uk or if they are, its always at a much inflated non-competitive price.

Kirk Cousins said that he can't be concerned with all of the issues swirling around Redskins Park this week. He just needs to worry about being the starting quarterback against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.
"I just need to get ready to go," he said in front of a packed media room.
He said that as the backup he prepares every week as though he is the starter, but he admitted that things are a little different when he goes into it knowing he will be the starter.
"Certainly in human nature you're going to have a heightened sense of urgency now that you know," he said.
This will be Cousins' second career start. Last year, he started in Week 15 in Cleveland in a game that was critical to the Redskins' playoff hopes. Cousins had a big day and won 38-21 on their way to the NFC East title. This year, with the 3-10 Redskins playing out the string, it's not quite the same.
"Certainly different circumstances than when I got my first start last year agains Cleveland and these are not the circumstances you necessarily want to be in when you start the season," he said. "But, good or bad, I've got to be ready to go."
Robert Griffin III, the team's franchise quarterback, is being shut down for the rest of the year as Mike Shanahan is concerned about being his too often. Cousins, the Redskins' fourth-round pick in the 2012 draft, said that he thought that Griffin was handling the situation well.
"His demeanor today has been positive, in the sense that he's taking the high road," he said. "I think that at the same time it's tough for him, so I don't want to come across like he doesn't care that he's sitting."
Even though both Shanahan and Griffin said that the change to Cousins as the starter would be for the three games that remain this season, Cousins was told not told about anything beyond this week.
"Their literal wording was not 'game to game,' it wasn't 'three weeks,'" he said. They told me I'm going to be starting against Atlanta, and honestly that's enough for me to be worrying about right now. When the plane touches down back from Atlanta, I'll start thinking about the following week."

Hi, this will be our first and we found out today it a GIRL! We are so excited! I really want James added somehow, it's my Dads name and I really want him included in the name. We are sooo close. I'm stuck on Ava James. Last name starts with a P. What do you think? Any advice??
What do you think of this name?

i think its very pretty..congrats on your lil girl

Personally I don't like really short names like that, but that's just me. Maybe you could try to find a name that Ava would be a good nickname for that way if she wants to use a longer name when she's older she can. Ava is really pretty though! And congrats on your little girl!
Heather- Doula, RN, CBE student, mommy to 3 kids ages 2, 5, and 7!
It is a fine combination if you like it! I know someone else who named a short name and a family name that they would not choose for the first.
These aren't my apps, but we/my kids enjoy Touch Stars Search (finding yellow stars) and collecting stars in mazes Touch Stars on the iPhone/iPad.
I think it is a beautiful name. We are having a boy but had decided on James as a middle name for girl or boy. It is after my husband and his father. Love Ava.
Gosh, I hate to give negative opinions, but I personally don't like using boys' names for girls, or vice versa. I guess James is technically unisex, but I've never met a girl named James. You could use Jamie, or some derivative of James that sounds more feminine, but that shares the same meaning. I'm having a hard time finding a middle name I like for my LO, too, so I know what you're going through.
Mom to Kyle (3/99), Jeffrey (4/06), Aidan (7/07)
and Caitlin (1/09).
I love Ava!! I think you should use James because it has special meaning to you. We're using a family name for the 1st & mn & I love it that much more because of it.
The only thing that came to mind was....do you plan on having any more children? If so...what if the next one is a boy? Would you want to save James for that? If no...than I'd def use Ava James. =)
