The French holistic, psycho-social approach also allows for considering nutritional causes for ADHD-type symptoms—specifically the fact that the behavior of some children is worsened after eating foods with artificial colors, certain preservatives, and/or allergens. Clinicians who work with troubled children in this country—not to mention parents of many ADHD kids—are well aware that dietary interventions can sometimes help a child’s problem. In the United States, the strict focus on pharmaceutical treatment of ADHD, however, encourages clinicians to ignore the influence of dietary factors on children’s behavior.

White Cloud superintendent Barry Seabrook said Thursday allowing the pictures to appear in the yearbook would be contrary to the state’s mandate that public schools’ sex-education curricula be abstinence-based.
My brain. Hurts.

Michigan Father Killed in Marijuana Child Removal Incident | StoptheDrugWar.org

thefreelioness:

A prosecutor in northern Michigan has cleared the police officer who shot and killed a Grayling man as police and Child Protective Services (CPS) employees attempted to seize his three-year-old. The attempted removal of the minor child came after a police officer who came to the scene on a call earlier that same day reported that he smelled marijuana and reported the incident to CPS authorities, who decided the child needed to be removed. The dead man, William Reddie, 32, becomes the 17th person killed in US domestic drug law enforcement operations so far this year.

A child was removed because someone smelled marijuana?  A father tried to keep his son from being taken and you shot him?  The pig got away scot-free?

Department of Homeland Security Shuts Down Dwolla Payments to and From Mt. Gox

Told folks that Bitcoin was next, and of course Dwolla is an anti-bank, ie, outside the Federal Reserve settlement system. The regime will defend itself to the bitter end.

Under the black flag of al-Qaeda, the Syrian city ruled by gangs of extremists - Telegraph

The black flag of al-Qaeda flies high over Raqqa’s main square in front of the smart new governor’s palace, its former occupant last seen in their prison. Their fighters, clad also in black, patrol the streets, or set up positions behind sandbags.

What a complete, Medieval mess.

Outrage at Syrian rebel shown 'eating soldier's heart'

Only religious fanaticism produces such madness. Humans must evolve beyond such bloody mysticism and leave religion behind. Oh, and these are the people Washington wants to arm.
