Three things:
1.) As Man and I contemplate possible travels this winter, here is the latest update on the memorial markers. All have been ordered and a few dollar$ have been forwarded to the cemeteries for bases and perpetual care. A few more dollar$ have been spent for deposits on the memorials. Now we wait.
2.) I have been participating in the 52 Ancestor Week meme hosted by Amy Johnson Crow, at No Story Too Small.
It is a challenge, but, it is also a great example of how to improve your research on your ancestors.
Here is the basic premise. Write what you know about one ancestor. Start at their birth, listing the place and exact date (if you have it) of birth. List the parents. Do you know anything about their youth? Listing any marriage, children, and information on death and interment.
I know, we do this when we enter information in our electronic data bases. But, do you review each individual in your data base, really review? I do when I am writing a post for this meme. So far, I have written 40 weeks of the 52 weeks. It has been quite a eye opening experience.
I have discovered I have not found my ancestors in census enumerations. I have found I have a date of a marriage, but, that date was from an index. No image of the actual document. So, I have gone looking for the census or the image. Just this week I found a marriage certificate/record. And, I also discovered that the index had the wrong date for the actual marriage. I spent a few minutes updating my data base. See, below, isn't it a lovely image??
You do not have to blog to participate. All you have to do, is pick one person from your data base and study what you have found on them and what you do not have. Try writing it out, not just looking at the facts you have recorded. There is something about actually writing it out that brings weaknesses in the data base to the forefront. As I write what I know, I find myself frequently, asking, "WHAT?" Or, "WHERE? And, off I go on a research tangeant.
Want to improve your research and your data base, try writing about your ancestors.
Good luck.
3.) Hopefully next month we will be somewhere on the road, Las Cruces New Mexico is calling our names. I need to review my database, I just may have some research I can do along the way.

The Princess Who Believed in Fairy Tales is an enchanting and inspiring modern-day story set in olden times that symbolizes the journey we all take through life as we sort out illusion from reality, come to terms with our childhood dreams and pain, and discover who we really are and how life works. Raised by a king and queen who are as strict and unaccepting as they are loving, the sweet, gentle Princess Victoria grows up dreaming of being rescued by a Prince Charming, as in her beloved fairy tales. When she is rescued all seems right with the world—until the prince turns out to be less than charming. On the advice of a delightful, singing, banjo-playing owl, the princess embarks on a challenging journey of self-discovery on the Path of Truth. Along the way, she nearly drowns in the Sea of Emotion, passes through the bewildering Land of Illusion,learns how to recognize truth at the Campsite for Lost Travelers, and enters the eye-opening Land of Is in search of the Temple of Truth and the Sacred Scroll. Finally, with the help of the owl and other unique, insightful friends, she discovers that fairy tales really can come true—although not in the way she thought. For all those who have struggled with childhood pain, with feelings of not being good enough, or who have given up their power to a hurtful prince, The Princess Who Believed in Fairy Tales proves that happy endings—and new beginnings—are always possible.

Here she is snuggled up for the night:
Leila's bronchitis seems to be doing much better. Today is the last day of her medicine and she's coughing a lot less, although when she does cough it still sounds awful. She's gotten her appetite back, and seems to be in a much better mood - I think she'll be 100% in just a few days!

I've loved zentangles ever since I first heard of them a few years ago. Basically a zentangle is a doodle drawing filled with various line patterns. They can be very simple, or they can be quite complex. The image at the beginning of this post is an example of doodles drawn in circular shapes. I got the idea from an Instagram post (below) that I saw by The Bloggess. (She's much better at zentangles than I am.)

Creating a great Internet advertising campaign is one of the key components to building a successful business. A lot of major corporations use the internet because it is a great way to reach a worldwide audience that may not be available through other marketing campaigns. Need some infamous examples of successful patrons of viral marketer? Hotmail launched as an unknown entity and before long they had millions of account holders. In less than two years, hotmail was a household name all thanks to voltage of viral marketing. Want to harness viral marketing for yourself? Read further and find out how to wed your current marketing system with viral marketing. With viral advertising's indisputable advantages and lack of disadvantages, your business can design a lucrative viral advertising strategy to propel it past the competition by following the techniques outlined here. Other businesses are thinking about this right now, so what are you waiting for? In a few short minutes, you can follow this advice and set up your very own advertising campaign to unleash the power of viral marketing.
If your goal is to create a successful viral marketing campaign that will lift your business to a higher level, it's up to you to put in the time and effort into pulling it all together and building a solid plan to get the results you want. It's extremely important to have a viral marketing plan in place if you want to start off and end with a bang.There are many differences between viral marketing and traditional advertising. It's a way to let the people spread the necessary information about your product by using their own interests and habits as a vehicle. This sounds easy, but it requires a lot of ingenious thinking; you need to have the right form, right action and need to put it out there at the right time to make it work.
We will take a look at a couple tips in this article that can support your goal of creating a viral marketing plan that will back your efforts, as well as supply you with plenty of ideas for the campaign.
Avoid all possible circumstances that may lead to negative reports about your business. The viral community will promptly relay any previous occurrence that has resulted in an unfavorable view of a company. This means if one of your clients or customer's has had a bad experience with your company or your product, this could reach out a large number of people in very quickly. Today, with the advent of Facebook and Twitter, social media can help that word spread to even more people than before. But good news will spread as well, and if you provide your customers with great service, you'll be able to build a favorable reputation. Customers who feel that they are treated well will urge their friends and family members to buy from you. Your credibility and respectability will shoot through the roof and give you incredible results. After all, people always prefer to have a recommendation from a friend to having to watch another slick sales routine. Therefore, you can really benefit from having friends recommend your products.
As we are all aware, people are compelled by their feelings, and one of the most effective approaches you could use to inspire people is by incorporating emotion into your word of mouth promotion tactics for the benefit of your business. Of course, this type of technique can go both ways. It could be a high level of love/hate, or if you want to invoke positive/negative emotions in people. The course of action that works best is to express your personal opinion with emotion; be sure to show your dedication and zeal about the product or service Everything depends on how you tackle these circumstances. This is what everything boils down to. Even though your creation might not have a lot of emotion involved, utilizing this approach could do wonders for your viral marketing campaign. People spread viral videos, ebooks, reports, etc. only happens when the item causes a desire in the person to share the information. This urge will only come up when they feel emotional about that particular viral element. It is not essential that your product be heavily invested in emotional territory, but your advertising elements can still involve these when discussing your item.
One of the most popular ways to go viral with your marketing is to use videos. If you actually put in the effort to create a video that's really worth it, expect it to be passed around the Internet like crazy. A beneficial, engaging, or amusing video will be circulated without hesitation. Contained in the video should be an easy option allowing viewers to forward the link to your video to their friends and contacts; to pass along the information and enjoyment of the video to others. The fastest way to get your video in front of a million viewers is to submit it to big video sharing sites such as Youtube, which can help you reach wider. This gives viewers more than one option for recommending your video: embedding its code on their blog site or sharing the link to it. Make sure to include your company's web address in the video; however, be careful that it doesn't appear as a direct endorsement.
I have adopted the way of viral marketing for my Learn and Master Blues Guitar. And the strategies are useful for Learn and Master Blues Guitar. Give viral markeing tips a shot and you will find the result amazing!

"The Bharatanatyam recital is structured like a Great Temple:
we enter through the gopuram (outer hall) of alarippu, cross the ardhamandapam (half-way hall) of jatiswaram, then the mandapam (great hall) of sabdam and enter the holy precinct of the deity in the varnam. This is the space which gives the dancer expansive scope to revel in the music, rhythm and moods of the dance. The varnam is the continuum which gives ever expanding room to the dancer to delight in her self-fulfillment, by providing the fullest scope to her own creativity as well as to the tradition of the art.
Padams now follow. In dancing to padams, one experiences the containment, cool and quiet of entering the sanctum from its external precinct. The expanse and brilliance of the outer corridors disappear in the dark inner sanctum; and the rhythmic virtuosities of the varnam yield to the soul-stirring music and abhinaya of the padam. Dancing to the padam is akin to the juncture when the cascading lights of worship are withdrawn and the drum beats die down to the simple and solemn chanting of sacred verses in the closeness of god.
Then, the tillana breaks into movement like the final burning of camphor accompanied by a measure of din and bustle. In conclusion, the devotee takes to his heart the god he has so far glorified outside; and the dancer completes the traditional order by dancing to a simple devotional verse"

NM Boiler Experts
Boiler Service, Maintenenace & Repair Service
When it comes to your boiler system for your home or business you want a company that stands behind their work. TLC has qualified residential & commercial boiler experts to provide you with expert, reliable service.
What is a boiler?
Many people assume that a hot water heater and a boiler are one in the same? They both heat water, right? Yes, they both heat water but they are a very different and used in different ways. Residential boilers are used to heat a home, most commonly for radiant heat systems. A boiler doesn't just heat water, it boils it.
Types of boilers
There are three main types of boiler systems typically used in homes throughout Albuquerque & Santa Fe. TLC's boiler experts are qualified to repair and replace all makes and models of residential boilers:
Non-Condensing Boilers
This is a basic standard boiler. They operate without condensing the fuel gases inside a pressure vessel. Non-condensing boilers cost less than condensing boilers but have a limited heating capacity and usually have an energy rating of around 80% AFUE.
Condensing Boilers
A condensing hot water boiler heats homes and conserves energy, that in other types of boilers, would escape out the chimney. When the boiler burns gas to produce water vapor, the vapor condenses into a liquid again, releasing latent heat, which boosts efficiency ratings as high as 98%.
Hot Water/Boiler Combination Unit
A high-efficiency combination unit that provides domestic hot water and heating for your home through your radiant floor heating system. These systems must have the power (BTUs) to adequately provide hot water for the home and enough BTUs for the radiant heat system.
Combination Boiler & Heating System
What is a combination boiler system?
What is a combination boiler system?
High-efficiency condensing "combi", or combination boilers, are very popular in homes today because they can save space and money. A combi boiler is a compact and efficient unit that provides all the heat and hot water a small home needs while saving on operating and installation costs. Combis work like both central heating boilers and hot water cylinders. There are now compact units that can be hung from your kitchen wall.
How do combination boilers work?
Unlike conventional systems, combi boilers do not store domestic hot water. They heat water from the cold water directly even as you use them. With the new combi boilers, you do not have a hot water cylinder, loft tank, or pipework. Combis are like standard unvented boilers but they have a second heating circuit, which is what gives you instant hot water when you need it. If fed directly from the main water supply to the heat exchanger, the combi boiler can have an unlimited hot water supply as long as the boiler is firing. Combi units manage to extract a larger amount of heat from the flue gases that escape from the flue system, which increases the combi's efficiency.
New Mexico Expert Boiler Service & Repair
TLC is your local expert when it comes to maintaining and repairing your boiler for your radiant heat system. With 24-hour boiler service, you can count on TLC to be here for you, with service in Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, Santa Fe & surrounding areas.
Boiler Maintenance Service – Albuquerque & Santa Fe
TLC offers expert boiler maintenance for your heating system to keep your heating system running smoothly all winter long. We recommend getting a professional HVAC technician to perform annual maintenance on your boiler prior to the heating season to prevent unexpected problems. TLC's annual boiler maintenance service includes the following:
Winter Boiler & Radiant Heat System Start Up
Getting your boiler ready for winter is vital to ensure your comfort when the temperature drops. We always recommend having an HVAC professional familiar with boiler systems to inspect your boiler prior to each winter. Steps for startup are as follows below:
- Prior to turning on the boiler ensure the pressure gauge on it has 10 to 12 PSI.
- Make sure the gas is on and the pilot is lit.
- Check the expansion tank and make sure it is not full of water. If you tap on it and it doesn't sound like an empty tin can, then it is mostly bad and will need to be replaced prior to starting up the boiler. Make sure a professional replaces the expansion tank and completes the startup process.
- Plug the boiler in and turn up the thermostat, the boiler should start firing. If it doesn't call a professional.
- If the boiler makes any odd noise or you can hear water running through it, unplug the boiler and call a professional.
- Make sure you have carbon monoxide detectors. If they are hard wired test them or replace the batteries. Every home should have more than one. If you have a professional startup your system they will have a highly sensitive CO2 detector that are calibrated each year.

TLC's offers annual heating maintenance for residential boiler and heating systems in your New Mexico home. Our experienced technicians will get your system ready for winter.

Advances in HIV related pharmacology have given HIV patients extended lifetimes, turning them from dead men walking to living individuals with a debilitating condition. In treating any patient, HIV status not withstanding, the American Dental Association states that dentists should practice, "high ethical standards which have the benefit of the patient as their primary goal" (Rhode Island Dental Association, 2006). If the maxim is adhered to, dentists should have no problems treating HIV positive individuals who come to them seeking care. The fear of exposure to the virus however, has led some dentists to refuse treatment. In these instances, the Supreme Court has stepped in, ordering treatment and protecting the rights of patients. However, in jumping to the aid of patients, the High Court may have inadvertently aided efforts to discriminate against those living with HIV.
A landmark case for HIV patients was the 1998 affirmation of the ruling in Abbott vs. Bragdon. Sidney Abbott, an HIV positive individual, successfully argued that in refusing to treat him because he was HIV positive, Dr. Rondon Bragdon had violated the Americans with Disabilities Act. Bragdon's unsuccessful defense was that Abbott's HIV represented a "direct threat" to his own health (Sfikas, 2002).
In May of 2002, the "direct threat" defense was again used, this time in the case of Waddell vs. Valley Forge. The Court ruled that Spencer Waddell, an HIV positive dental hygienist, could be removed from his job because his disease was a "direct threat" to the health of his patients (Sfikas, 2002). The sum of these two decisions is that the idea of "direct threat" can legally be used to protect patients but not to protect dentists.
The same code of ethics that puts patients first also claims that this goal has lead to, "…society affording to the profession the privilege and obligation of self-government" (Rhode Island Dental Association, 2006). Above all, dentists want to retain autonomy and self regulation. In the process of trying to protect patients, these two court decisions have reduced the autonomy of dentists. Decisions in the cases of Waddell and Abbott should have been made by dental professionals, argues Peter Sfikas in his article in the March 2002 Journal of the American Dental Association (Sfikas, 2002).
In the Abbott case, the procedure being performed was a cavity filling, which involves little to no blood. In the Waddell case, root planning, which involves a large amount of blood, was being done. The courts made the correct decision in siding with the patient when looking at the evidence in each specific case (Sfikas, 2002). However, instead of maintaining a case by case system, the courts have set precedents which issue blanket statements without regard for case specifics. This has lead to the reality that the only way a dentist can refuse treatment is by preemptively providing evidence of a "direct threat" to his or her health from the patient (Sfikas, 2002).
These two court cases have gone a long way to advancing the rights of HIV positive patients. The Supreme Court stepped in and set a precedent to prevent HIV positive individuals from being denied healthcare. The Waddell case however, could be spun to deny rights to HIV positive individuals (Sfikas, 2002). The Court gave Spencer Waddell's employer the right to fire him because he was HIV positive. In trying to protect the rights of patients, the court system has set a legal precedent which discriminates against HIV positive workers if they pose a "direct threat" to the health of their customers (Sfikas, 2002).
Waddell's case was denied writ of certiorari by the Supreme Court, so it will be up to future cases to decide whether or not firing an employee because they have HIV is legal (Waddell v. Valley Forge Dental Assocs. 2002). Whatever decisions are made in future cases; these two examples highlight the complex interplay between human rights and stigma that HIV positive individuals still face in the United States today.

Now, I realize this doesn't seem like a Reformation debate, but I assure you it is. It appears to be between a Presbyterian minister (Rev. William Gillies) and a Roman Catholic (The Very Rev. Theoppilus Le Menant Des Chesnais, L.M., Vicar General and Administrator of the Diocese of Christchurch), circa 1896.
The link is fascinating because it demonstrates how Rome's defenders- even back in the 1800's- quoted the Protestant Reformers. Rev. Gillies simply nailed his Roman Catholic opponent when it came to documenting and quoting sources. Rev. Theoppilus Le Menant Des Chesnais made a number of outrageous statements about John Calvin, Rev. Gillies simply went back to the primary sources and demonstrated they were false. Here's some of the things claimed about Calvin:
Calvin "admitted that praying for the dead was of Apostolic origin."
Calvin "in his commentary on the second chapter of the second epistle of St. Peter says: — 'Nine out of ten of the evangelical ministers embraced the Reformation simply to lead a life of debauchery.'"
"In his (Calvin's) book on scandals he declares that 'pastors of souls give this example of perversity and all vices.' I am astonished, he adds, that women and children do not cover them with mud and filth.'"
"When he (Calvin) was about to die he cried out, 'The future frightens me, I am afraid to think of it ; unless our Lord should come down from heaven, barbarity is going to swallow us up.'"Rev. Gillies knocks all these down by simply going to the sources. The response from Rev. Theoppilus Le Menant Des Chesnais is included in the link. If you want to see a great example of obfuscation, read it. The response attempts to squirm out of every error by doing such acrobatics like: quoting Luther from other secondary sources (in response to a Calvin mis-citation!), referring to other secondary sources, passing the buck to blame those secondary sources for his own blunders: "We have all to take many quotations on trust, as it is impossible in all cases to procure the original text." Now that's funny: Rome's present day defenders have offered the same sort of response at times to me.
There appears to be a number of other layers to this discussion, perhaps available from the same website. So far, I've been able to locate a few others I'll highlight in future blog entries.
I came across this old debate while looking for this Luther quote. Check out the interaction between these men, and how the quote is used:
Rev. Gillies:
You say that Calvin "in his commentary on the second chapter of the second epistle of St. Peter says: — " Nine out of ten of the evangelical ministers embraced the Reformation simply to lead a life of debauchery.' Such a statement as that bears on the very face of it the brand of falsehood. Had such been the case, would Calvin have been idiot enough to blazon it in the face of the world? I challenge you to produce any edition of Calvin's commentary in which that, or any such statement, is to be found. I have gone carefully over that chapter, and I affirm that nothing of the kind is there. The onus of proof lies with you. Produce the book, and I will be proved wrong, I will give you a very different quotation, for which I can produce the book, from his comment on that very chapter in Peter. On verse 19 he says : "The Papists turn and twist this passage against us, but they thereby betray their ridiculous impudence. For in the first place men of the filthiest life, in public houses and brothels belch out this charge, that we are the servants of corruption, in the life of whom they cannot point out anything reproachful."
Rev. Theoppilus Le Menant Des Chesnais:
You say "such a statement as that bears on the very face of it the brand of falsehood. Had such been the case, would Calvin have been idiot enough to blazon it in the face of the world?" Was Martin Luther an idiot? Hear how he speaks of the reformers: Alluding to his followers in Germany, he says that "everything is reversed, the world grows every day the worse for this teaching (of the Reformation); and the misery of it is that men are now-a-days more covetous, more hard-hearted, more corrupted, more licentious, and more wicked than of old under the Papacy." (Die Reform., vol. i., p. 279). Again, he says: " Our evangelicals are now seven-fold more wicked than they were before. In proportion as we hear the Gospel, we steal, lie, cheat, forge, and commit every crime." (Ibid., p. 197). For conformatory evidence see Austral Cath. Rec. Oct. 1895, p. 555-557, Most Rev. Carr. ("The Church and the Bible"). It the Rev William Gillies will take the trouble to take a five minutes' walk and go to the Catholic Presbytery, Timaru, he will be shown the viii. volume of Rohrbacher, Book lxxxviii., where he will find the confirmatory evidence of my statement, and much more about his favourite Calvin. I also invite him to read the " History of the Reformation " by the Most Rev Dr Spalding, Baltimore, 1870 — "The Reformation in Geneva," chap. xiv. He will find there a great deal more than what I have stated with the references to the authentic archives of Geneva, where all those facts brought against Calvin are mostly taken from. Those documents cannot be disproved, and show that Calvin and his followers were not holy, pious men, as represented by Beza, but, with few exceptions, quite the contrary.
JS: In fairness to Rev. Theoppilus Le Menant Des Chesnais, I attempted to locate "the viii. volume of Rohrbacher, Book lxxxviii." I admit to not completely understanding the reference, but I did search through a number of these volumes and came up with nothing.

(CNN -- Scotland's Paul Lawrie, whose 10-year European Tour exemption for winning The British Open ends this season, leads the Johnnie Walker Championship at Gleneagles after the opening day.
Lawrie carded a five-under-par 67 to lead the Johnnie Walker Championship after the opening round.
Lawrie, 97th on the money list and needing to be in the top 115 in November to save his Tour card, scored a five-under-par 67 as he began his latest bid for a first victory since the 2002 Wales Open.
The 40-year-old, still Britain's last winner of a major title, goes into the second round one stroke ahead of a group of four players which includes his fellow-Scot Steven O'Hara and defending champion Gregory Havret.
However, it was a bad day for both Colin Montgomerie and Thomas Bjorn. Ryder Cup captain Montgomerie lost two balls as he slumped to a 76 -- and could now miss a fourth successive cut for the first time in his European Tour career -- while Bjorn crashed to an 82.
This is the Dane's first event since the start of last month. He has been suffering from dizziness and extreme fatigue and even underwent a brain scan during his lay-off.
Montgomerie, who is without a top-10 finish for 14 months, told reporters: "I didn't play well, obviously.
"I haven't been playing well all year, and it just continues. I have lost a bit of confidence -- obviously you do when you miss cuts and you don't compete, never mind contend."
Lawrie did not drop a stroke all day with the highlight a 40-foot putt for an eagle on the long ninth.
Havret, the leader from start to finish last year, and O'Hara, who became a father three weeks ago, share second place with Swede Ake Nilsson and Australian Wade Ormsby, who reached seven-under before double-bogeying the short 17th and dropping another on the last.
Oliver Wilson and Soren Hansen, back on the course where they clinched Ryder Cup debuts a year ago and the two highest-ranked players in the field at 44th and 49th in the world, shot 73 and 69 respectively.
Teenage New Zealander Danny Lee, who in Australia in February became the Tour's youngest-ever winner, had an eventful 71.
Three-over after six holes of his first event in Europe since his win, Lee played the next five in six-under, matching Lawrie's eagle on the ninth, but then had two more bogeys.
He still out-scored the circuit's two other amateur winners. Irish Open champion Shane Lowry returned a 74 and Spaniard Pablo Martin, winner of the Portuguese Open two years ago, a 72.
Meanwhile, Germany's Martin Kaymer has been ruled out of action for at least six weeks after sustaining a foot injury when go-karting in America which will require surgery.
"Obviously this is a very unfortunate situation, but I have a top medical team around me which will provide the best treatment to get me back to the competition," the 24-year-old Race to Dubai money leader told the European Tour Web site.
"I will do everything to recover as soon as possible." Kaymer won the French and Scottish Opens back-to-back last month.

Cheese Fondue
Preparation time: 10 minutes. Cooking time: 10 minutes.
Cut or break the bread into bite-sized pieces, spread them out on a baking sheet or heatproof dish and put them under a not-too-hot grill to warm.
Rub the garlic around the inside of a medium-sized saucepan, then discard it. Grate the cheese.
Put all but a couple of tablespoons of the wine or cider into the saucepan, add the cheese and bring just to the boil the cheese will look like a lumpy mess at this stage but dont worry.
Blend the cornflour with the remaining wine or cider then pour this into the cheese mixture, stirring vigorously over the heat. The mixture will thicken and become smooth.
Remove from the heat and add the lemon juice and some salt, pepper and grated nutmeg to taste. Serve at once with the warm bread have long forks available so that you can spear pieces of bread and dip them into the fondue pan.
Note: To make enough for 4 or 6 people, just double or treble all the ingredients except for the garlic clove; you only need one of those.

I came across this article in the NY Times that I find extremely disturbing. It's another article in a major American Newspaper promoting new psychiatric diagnosis in preschool aged children.
We know from recent experiences that new psychiatric childhood diagnosis has a direct correlation to the catastrophic rise of dangerous psychiatric medications being used in toddlers with devastating consequences that will be with us and our society for many many generations to come. We are in essence abandoning our children as sacrificial lambs to greedy pharmaceutical corporate interest, and to horribly conflicted sold out charlatans that benefit financially and in academic stature from prostituting their profession to this legalized drug cartel.
I have taken excerpts from the NY Times article here for you to read. But, I also invite you to follow the link and read the whole 6 page article.
Now let me give you a little background on the main doctor they are quoting and using in this article to promote another early childhood psychiatric condition. Don't let Joan L. Luby, MD Puppet Master's facade fool you into thinking this not a deeply conflicted pharmaceutical minion that strongly believes in the drugging of children "along with the brain chemical imbalance theory" that is being now generally debunked as Hocus Pocus lunitic insanity along the same lines of Harvard's J. Biederman "second to God" and "this ain't no tushy massage" infamy .
Below Philip Dawdy at Furious Seasons Blog questioned Luby about her not disclosing her obvious conflicts of interest in Sept 2009:
American Journal Of Psychiatry Ignores Unreported Conflicts In Its Journal:
Earlier this month, I noted that Washington University psychiatry professor Joan Luby appeared to have possible unreported conflicts of interest on three separate papers, including one on "early childhood depression" that appeared in this month's issue of the American Journal of Psychiatry. I queried the AJP's editor and the American Psychiatric Association about the situation, asking if they look into the matter and make whatever correction was appropriate. I got no reply from either the editor or the APA's press office.Luby had reportedly received monies from AstraZeneca in 2003 and 2004. AZ makes Seroquel, an atypical antipsychotic that is being widely used off-label in children (and adults) as a treatment for depression and agitation.
A reader questioned a discrepancy between the financial interests disclosed in an article that I published in 20061 and my recent Archives article2 in which I revealed no financial interests. In the prior article, I disclosed grant support from Janssen for a clinical trial of risperidol in autism completed in 2003, some academic lectures sponsored by AstraZeneca, and a consultation with Shire Pharmaceuticals, all in 2004. I did not disclose these financial interests in the Archives article because they were not relevant to the subject of the article. The article reported on the longitudinal course of preschool depression and made no recommendations about treatment. Furthermore, my program of research has not supported the use of antidepressants in preschool depression and none of these pharmaceutical companies market antidepressant drugs. However, as some feel that any financial relationships with a pharmaceutical company imply a potential conflict of interest,
This was also followed by a bnet-pharma article By Jim Edwards | August 28, 2009
Doc Who Urged Anti-psychotics for 3-Year-Olds Funded by J&J, AZ and Shire. A doctor who wrote in an academic journal that preschoolers may suffer from depression and could be good candidates for atypical antipsychotics received funding from three drug companies that make mental health medicines. Dr. Joan Luby, a professor of child psychiatry at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, wrote that children as young as three years old may suffer from bipolar disorder, and that there are "promising findings for the use of atypical antipsychotic agents and mood stabilizers, both singly and in combination" in the very young. Atypical antipsychotics are not FDA-approved for such use. Her article, in a 2009 journal titled Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Clinics of North America, does not disclose that in the past Luby's work has been funded by Janssen (the unit of Johnson & Johnson that markets Risperdal), or that she has given talks sponsored by AstraZeneca (maker of Seroquel), and has been a consultant for Shire (maker of Adderall XR and Vyvanse. Luby disclosed her relationships with drug companies in a 2006 article in the Journal of the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry, which was also about depression in preschoolers. Her disclosure said: Disclosure: Dr. Luby has received grant/research support from Janssen, has given occasional talks sponsored by AstraZeneca, and has served as a consultant for Shire Pharmaceuticals.
Luby did not return an email or two phone calls requesting comment. It is not clear whether academic journal rules at the time required her disclosures. AZ said:Also in 2007, Luby signed as an author to a Special Communication in the same journal written by a group of child psychiatrists called The Preschool Psychopharmacology Working Group. The purpose of their group, Luby and her colleagues wrote, was:to promote responsible treatment of young children, recognizing that this will sometimes involve the use of medications. The other authors of that paper disclosed a wealth of company ties, including Eli Lilly, Organon, Forest Labs, GlaxoSmithKline, Wyeth-Ayerst, McNeil, Novartis, Pfizer, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Abbott, AstraZeneca, Sepracor, Cephalon, Sanofi-Aventis, Boehringer-Ingelheim, and Janssen. Regarding Luby, the paper said:
The other authors have no financial relationships to disclose.
In Luby's 2009 editorial, she wrote:
The need for large-scale and focused studies of this issue is underscored by the high and increasing rates of prescriptions of atypical antipsychotics and other mood stabilizing agents for preschool children with presumptive clinical diagnosis of bipolar disorder.
She cited a paper by Harvard's Dr. Joseph Biederman, who was subpoenaed by federal prosecutors investigating J&J's promotion of Risperdal, much of which was allegedly off-label to children. Separately, hundreds of lawsuits have been filed alleging that Seroquel has dangerous side effects such as weight gain and diabetes.
Now you can put this NY Times disease mongering propaganda article in it's proper context with full disclosure and all the facts. That was something real reporters and newspapers used to do before they became just paid shills for multi-billion dollar corporations.
Can Preschoolers Be Depressed?
By PAMELA PAULKiran's parents took him to see a child psychiatrist. In the winter of 2009, when Kiran was 5, his parents were told that he had preschool depression, sometimes referred to as "early-onset depression." He was entered into a research study at the Early Emotional Development Program at Washington University Medical School in St. Louis
Published: August 25, 2010
Is it really possible to diagnose such a grown-up affliction in such a young child? And is diagnosing clinical depression in a preschooler a good idea, or are children that young too immature, too changeable, too temperamental to be laden with such a momentous label? Preschool depression may be a legitimate ailment, one that could gain traction with parents in the way that attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (A.D.H.D.) and oppositional defiant disorder (O.D.D.) — afflictions few people heard of 30 years ago —
The answer, according to recent research, seems to be earlier than expected. Today a number of child psychiatrists and developmental psychologists say depression can surface in children as young as 2 or 3. "The idea is very threatening," says Joan Luby, a professor of child psychiatry at Washington University School of Medicine, who gave Kiran his diagnosis and whose research on preschool depression has often met with resistance.
"In my 20 years of research, it's been slowly eroding," Luby says of that resistance. "But some hard-core scientists still brush the idea off as mushy or psychobabble, and laypeople think the idea is ridiculous."
For adults who have known depression, however, the prospect of early diagnosis makes sense. Kiran's mother had what she now recognizes was childhood depression. "There were definite signs throughout my grade-school years," she says. "My parents knew my behavior wasn't right, but they really didn't know what to do."
Though research does not support the use of antidepressants in children this young, medication of preschoolers, often off label, is on the rise. One child psychologist told me about a conference he attended where he met frustrated drug-industry representatives. "They want to give these kids medicines, but we can't figure out the diagnoses." As Daniel Klein warns, "Right now the problem may be under diagnosis, but these things can flip completely."
says Alicia Lieberman, a professor in the department of psychiatry at the University of California, San Francisco. This is problematic, as 10 to 20 percent of mothers go through depression at some point, and 1 in 11 infants experiences his mother's depression in the first year.
Washington University in St. Louis's School of Medicine, Joan Luby is trying to figure out exactly what constitutes preschool depression. For a new clinical diagnosis to gain sanction with psychologists, schools, doctors and insurance companies, it requires entry into the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, the field guide to psychiatric illness.
To get a sense of what a young child is feeling, Luby's team uses a technique called the Berkeley Puppet Interview, which was developed to help children articulate how they perceive themselves and process their emotions. I watched as a wiry, blond 5-year-old boy responded to a therapist's dog-faced puppets.
"My parents care a lot about me," the first puppet said in an upbeat tone. "My parents don't care a lot about me," the second said in an equally cheerful voice. "How about you?"
"Sometimes they care about me," the boy replied, and then paused. "They don't care a lot about me," he added with emphasis.
"When I do something wrong, I feel bad," the first puppet said.
"When I do something wrong, I don't feel bad," the second said. "How about you?"
"When I do something wrong, I do feel bad," the boy responded.
Later he told the puppets that he didn't like to be alone. He worried that other kids didn't like him, and he wished he had more friends. His insecurity, low self-image and, in particular, his sense of guilt and shame mark him as a possible depressive: it's not only that I did this thing wrong, it's I'm a bad boy.But generally speaking, preschool depression, unlike autism, O.D.D. and A.D.H.D., which have clear symptoms, is not a disorder that is readily apparent to the casual observer or even to the concerned parent. Depressed preschoolers are usually not morbidly, vegetatively depressed. Though they are frequently viewed as not doing particularly well socially or emotionally, teachers rarely grasp the depth of the problem. Sometimes the kids zone out in circle time,
Further complicating the picture is the extent to which depressed children have other ailments. In Egger's epidemiological sample, three-fourths of depressed children had some additional disorder. In Luby's study, about 40 percent also had A.D.H.D. or O.D.D.,
to avoid stigmatizing young children, two catch-all diagnoses — adjustment disorder with depressed mood, as well as depressive disorder not otherwise specified (N.O.S.) — are frequently applied. benefits to such diffuse diagnoses: they spare parents the crushing word "depression"
"We don't like to diagnose depression in a preschooler," says Mary O'Connor, from U.C.L.A. "These kids are still forming, so we're more likely to call it a mood disorder N.O.S. That's just the way we think of it here."
But this way of thinking frustrates Luby and Egger, who say they fear that if a depressed child isn't given the proper diagnosis, he can't get appropriate treatment. You wouldn't use the vague term "heart condition," they argue. Egger asks. Is it right that rather than treat children for depression, clinicians wait and see what might happen three or four years down the road?
THEIR TENDERNESS OF age may render preschoolers especially vulnerable to depression's consequences. Young children are acutely sensitive but lack the skill, experience and self-sufficiency to deal with strong feelings.
For a diagnosis of preschool depression to have any meaningful impact, an appropriate treatment must be found. Talk therapy isn't practical for children who don't have the verbal or intellectual sophistication to express and untangle their emotions. Play therapy, a favorite of preschool counselors, has yet to be proved effective.
she and other researchers say, 84,000 of America's 6 million preschoolers may be clinically depressed. Intervention could potentially forestall, minimize or even prevent depression from becoming a lifelong condition. At a minimum, it could teach them ways to better manage future bouts. If we wait, their only options may be medication and ongoing talk therapy, forever.
"The promise of early-childhood mental health is that if you intervene early enough to change negative conditions, rather than perpetuate negative behaviors, you really are preventing the development of a full-fledged diagnosis," says Alicia Lieberman at U.C.S.F. "Of course, you would never then know if the child would have become a depressed adult."
Parent-Child Interaction Therapy, or P.C.I.T. Originally developed in the 1970s to treat disruptive disorders — which typically include violent or aggressive behavior in preschoolers — P.C.I.T. is generally a short-term program, usually 10 to 16 weeks under the supervision of a trained therapist, with ongoing follow-up in the home. Luby adapted the program for depression and began using it in 2007 in an ongoing study on a potential treatment.
SUCCESS WITH P.C.I.T. rests heavily on parents, who are essentially tasked with reprogramming their child's brain to form new, more adaptive habits. Not all parents are equipped to handle the vigilance, the consistency, the sensitivity.
Oh By the way, AstraZeneca who you were getting those nice lucrative payments from do make an anti-depressant (maybe you forgot on your way to a sponsored speaking engagement?) it's called "SEROQUEL", the anti-psychotic, turned anti-depressant, turned anti-blushing, or whatever else they can get doctors like you to pimp it for.....
Update: August 30, 2010 - Jim Edwards @ bnet-pharma has written a great follow up article concerning this matter you should also read and truly weep over (for the children of course).

Update Sept 1, 2010
I found this interesting article & honesty from David L Bransford M.D. @www.davidbransford.com blog that I believe adds some credence to the crisis fire of childhood mental health diagnosis and drugging we are now experiencing.
Having finally witnessed the end of summer and having my office filled with desperate parents and students, preparing to start the new school year;
I am overwhelmed with seeing what is happening to the many young children with disruptive behaviors and "hyperactivity" Over the summer months of just June, July, and August, far too many were prescribed potent antipsychotic medications by their child psychiatrists, their local family doctors, pediatricians, and nurse practitioners.
No informed consent from the parents or legal guardians, no interventions other than potent medications. Little or no screening for neuropsychological disorders, developmental LDs, nor base line lab work. Just medicating children with antipsychotic medications for disruptive behaviorsd out the script and if the med doesn't seem to be effective, up the dosage and/or add yet another medication from the same family.
By summer's end, these prepubescent children have typically experienced profound weight gain, are having hyperprolactinemia, with subsequent breast enlargement with often leakage……………the adverse effects are so alarming.
No family intervention and education…just following Big pharma's push to prescribe the SGAs (second generation antipsychotics) and tremendous cost to the consumer, the State, the private insurance companies, etc.
But the greatest cost of all is to the children, as they develop type two diabetes and numerous other metabolic changes. These practices must somehow be more closely regulated.
Experienced Nurses and PCPs believe the handouts of the studies from the drug detail men and women, in spite of volumes of evidence most studies with kids are flawed, ghost written, and filled with informercial conclusions. Doctors must reclaim the role as protector of their patients and first do no harm. As of today – Sept 1st – 2010 – I have decided to no longer meet with drug reps, no "free samples" no labeled pens nor postit pads. We have followed the no free lunch or gift policy now for the past several years.
A video in the NYT (Not a leading medical journal) was posted today and I hope it will load onto this blog. It describes far better than I can express, the current crisis….aside for a plug for Vyvanse ( an amphetamine tweak by Shire….really no better than generic amphetamines from > 50 years ago) the video, I believe, tells an accurate story of the crisis at hand.
Though we may disagree in prospective and interpretation of what is shown on this video, I must stand up and applaud David L Bransford's M.D. integrity, openness, and honesty in his post.

Colonised Mind
Dear Mr. President. Dear, dear dear Mr. President.
I don't often raise the energy to comment on the stuff which comes out of Jacob Zuma's mouth, anymore. Or I'd be here all day. But this latest piece of nonsense serves to highlight exactly where the president of South Africa's mind is sitting. And it's not a pretty place.
So, people who love dogs more than people have a lack of humanity, do they?
It seems to me that that was a giveaway statement all on its own. That there should be a hierarchy of love, that we can choose to love one species more than another. In my experience, that is not where people who are compassionate to non-human animals are coming from. They love fellow non-human creatures in the same way they love human creatures. If you love your canine companions, and spend time and money on them, does that mean that you don't love other humans? As if there were some limit on the amount we can love each other.
As if love for each other, for life, is a quantifiable commodity.
As if there were some scale of worthiness-to-be-loved, with humans on the top, naturally.
As if the local canine family members waited with loaded guns and malice a-thought to rob and brutalise others for their property.
Oh yes, I know how Zuma thinks of dogs - as property. It's very close to the way he thinks about women, actually.
This raising of humans above other creatures, this denigration of non-human life as less worthy of love, this commodifying of life, this is not Ubuntu.
Tell me: who truly has the colonised mind?

The original Yankee Stadium, completed in 1923, was the home of one of the most successful teams in the history of pro sports — but by the 1970s it was showing its age.
When a new stadium was built, just across the street from the old one, the architects brought back features from the early days of the original, including hand-operated scoreboards and a copper frieze along the upper deck. But in other ways, the new stadium was quite different from the old one.
With eight levels, two of them underground, and a seating capacity of around 52,000, the new stadium features broad open spaces, concession stands that don't block the view, and more seats below the mezzanine level, closer to the action on the field.
The new stadium was completed in 2009, at a projected cost of more than $2.3 billion. The 9/11 attacks of eight years before had underlined the need for security screening, but it was important not to detract from the experience of fans.
"Many fans already choose to stay in and watch matches on TV and the stadium owners were anxious that any delay and inconvenience caused would result in ticket sales falling," said Dr. Norman Rhodes of Mott MacDonald.
To ensure security, minimize inconvenience to fans, plan efficient evacuations during normal or emergency circumstances, and maximize the effectiveness of advertising, Mott MacDonald turned to STEPS, a crowd simulation tool.
STEPS (Simulation of Transient Evacuations and Pedestrian Movements) populates a 3D computer model of an actual or proposed environment with virtual people, producing a realistic, easily understood simulation of crowd behavior. STEPS has been used to model crowd behavior for venues including Grand Central Terminal, New Wembley Stadium, Delhi Airport, and the Maracaibo Metro.
Mott MacDonald used architectural 2D CAD drawings to develop a 3D model of the Yankee Stadium's structural elements, such as walls, floors, roofs, and stands then imported the 3D model into the STEPS software. Tools built into STEPS were used to create walking planes, exits, stairs, elevators, and escalators. Access to certain seating areas and concourses was restricted based on the type of ticket held by each fan.
STEPS was used to simulate various normal operations at Yankee Stadium. Evacuation modeling was conducted for several full-scale simulations, including scenarios in which major ramps or stairwells were blocked by fire. Emergency scenarios included a full stadium evacuation, particular evacuations, and access by first responders.
The use of STEPS made it possible to optimize the experience of spectators and anticipate potential problems before construction — increasing the confidence of stadium management. Our analysis helped stadium management place staff so as to reduce queuing, bottlenecks, and waiting time at kiosks, washrooms, and concession stands.
Analysis of elevator and escalator usage, crowd density, and footfalls identified the routes used most by fans. Management was then able to locate security checkpoints, anticipate crowd movements during emergencies, and train staff more effectively.
The result? Increased security, coupled with cost-effective staffing and a user-friendly experience that keeps fans coming back. The new space seemed to suit the team as well: in their first year in the new stadium, the New York Yankees won the World Series.

Google TV hasn't been on Logitech Revue boxes or Sony Internet TVs and Blu-ray players for a month, but are sales lagging?
Google won't say, but the company promoted Dish Network's amazingly reduced sale of the Logitech Revue for $179, or 40 percent off of the $299 retail price from last month.
The offer, which requires a DVR integration service of $4 per month, is good for any of Dish's 14 million-plus subscribers. More details on Engadget here.
Sure, we understand holidays are prime for sales, but 40 percent off?
Further reading
That's the kind of pricing reserved for books publishers know will sell well when they hit stores -- see Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol -- or failing products.
I think it's too early to assume Google TV is failing, but maybe Dish really hopes to boost its subscriber base with Google TV.
Update: A person familiar with Google's plans told me the discount was announced at the Logitech Revue launch last month. I was at that launch. I vaguely remember talk of a discount, but not this much.
Anyway, I've been using Google TV on Logitech Revue for a few weeks now and it's sweet for Web browsing and accessing Netflix and YouTube Leanback.
While Revue easily lets me switch to my DVR AT&T U-Verse content, Dish offers something I can't get from U-Verse. Dish users' DVR content integrates better with Google TV. Google explained:
"For instance, you can search for a TV show, and in addition to searching Web content and live TV, Google TV will also search your DVR recordings for that show. If it's not on for a few days, it'll automatically find the show and allow you to record it with the click of a button."
See the Dish integration in action here:
Having Google TV surface the dozen or show programs and movies in my U-Verse queue would be a perk, but I can honestly say I don't feel I'm missing much by not having this Dish feature. Seriously.
And people are really getting carried away about not being able to watch programming from the Websites of Fox, CBS, NBC and ABC. Enough already. Why can't people DVR it on TV and watch it later?
Why do people need to consume all their programming from the Website? I suppose the on-demand factor is cool; I get my needs met by the Netflix app on Google TV and by the DVR on U-Verse.
