March 23, 2004, last update: 12/31 @ 7:00 pm
Recently there have been a couple of letters to the editor regarding the issue of homosexuality. It is pointed out that today we do not apply the severe penalties found in Old testament law when dealing with sexual immorality. One writer states that if we want to use God's laws, we have to use all of them, and we can't just pick and choose. The perception is left that when we use the Bible to condemn homosexuality, we do not make consistent application.
The things written in the Old Testament were written for our learning and admonition (Rom. 15:4; I Cor. 10:11). In the Law of Moses God gave civil laws to the Israelites to regulate their behavior. We recognize the severity of the penalties God imposed for sexual immorality, and understand his attitude toward sin.
God through Moses gave the Law specifically to the Israelites, not to us (Deut. 4:1). Today, God speaks to us through his Son Jesus (Heb. 1:1-2). Jesus, being given all authority in Heaven and in Earth, has delivered the will of God to us through his apostles (Matt. 28:18-20; I Thess. 2-13). Today we are to listen to Jesus, not Moses, as our leader and lawgiver (Matt. 17:1-5; Col. 2:13-14).
Under Christ, homosexuality is wrong (Rom. 1:26-27; I Cor. 6:9-10). Further, Jesus has authorized marriage of man to a woman (Matt. 19:4-6; I Cor. 7:2), and not marriage of man to a man or woman to a woman. Such is without the authority of Christ and is therefore unlawful (II John 9).
The government ultimately derives authority from God. The powers that be are ordained of God (Rom. 13:1-6). Rulers are the ministers of God, revengers to execute wrath on him that does evil. The word "minister" means "one who executes the commands of another, especially of a master; a sergeant, attendant, minister" (Thayer's Lexicon). Thayer defines "evil" as "of a bad nature; not such as it ought to be." Vine's Dictionary defines "evil" in Rom. 13:4 as "what is morally or ethically 'evil.'" Rom. 13:1-6 authorizes government to regulate issues of morals and ethics (right and wrong behavior). These pertain to all men regardless of religious affiliation. Today rulers answer to Jesus, the King of kings and Lord of lords (Rev. 1:5). Government doesn't derive moral authority from the people, but from God speaking through Jesus, and needs to look to Him for guidance regarding these issues.

Members of the local land conservation community are hailing renewal of a tax incentive for private landowners to preserve their property that was included din the recently concluded fiscal cliff budget negotiations in Congress.
The tax incentives benefit those landowners, especially working family farmers and ranchers, who preserve their land with a voluntary conservation agreement. The incentive, which had expired at the end of 2011, was a boon to private conservation efforts while it was in effect between 2006 and 2011, said Molly Morrison, president of the Natural Lands Trust (NLT), the Delaware County-based land conservation organization.
Nationwide, the incentive is credited with a 30 percent increase in the number of acres preserved each year, Morrison said Monday. At a time when public investments in open space have been reduced drastically, the incentive is a cost-effective way to encourage landownersregardless of their meansto consider conservation as an option.
Conservation-minded landowners now have until Dec. 31, 2013 to take advantage of the tax deduction for donating a voluntary conservation agreement to permanently protect important natural or historic resources on their land. There are also attempts to make the tax deduction permanent.
This is a good step, said Andrew Johnson, head of the North American Land Trust (NALT) in Chadds Ford, who added that the renewal was already having an impact on preservation efforts as his organization began getting more interest in conservation agreements since the turning of the calendar.
When Congress gets involved with an idea like conservation, it reinforces that it is a tool worth using, and not some gimmick, Johnson said. If wed had this in place in 2012, we could have probably conserved twice as much land as we did. We think that we will see (the organizations efforts) in 2013 as benefitting from this.
Oliver Bass, a spokesman for the NLT, said his organization had seen twice as many land conservation easements in 2011, the year the incentive ended, as it had in 2012. That is a pretty startling difference, he said.
With the incentive back in place, as this year moves along we expect we will see a pick up of interest again, Bass said Tuesday.
Chester County commissioners Chairman Ryan Costello also praised the renewal, saying that it compliments the countys efforts to use public funds to preserve open space. The tax incentive is separate from the countys open space challenge program, but can aid landowners considering participating in the county and state open space efforts.
By extending this deduction you can keep the opportunity and flexibility for those private conservation organizations to partner with local landowners to preserve their land, Costello, whose legal background includes land use issues, Costello said Tuesday. And the more resources you have to conserve land, the more land you can conserve. I think it is welcome news.
That sentiment was echoed by Bill Gladden, director of the countys Open Space Program. It is great news for Chester County and for all conservationists, he said Tuesday. It is an important part of how to stretch dollars further to preserve land.
Both Morrison and Johnson said U.S. Rep. Jim Gerlach, R-6th, of West Pikeland, has already sponsored a bill in the House that would make the deduction option permanent.
This critical conservation tool has been extremely effective because it benefits landowners who want to protect their property as well as communities interested in working together to preserve exceptional natural resources, Gerlach said. Renewing the incentive is a great first step, but it will not be the last.
When landowners donate a conservation easement to an organization such as Natural Lands Trust, its affiliate Montgomery County Lands Trust, or another qualified organization, or when they work with NALT to conserve their land, they maintain ownership and management of their land and can sell or pass the land on to their heirs, while foregoing future development rights.
The enhanced incentive applies to a landowners federal income tax. It raises the deduction a donor can take for donating a voluntary conservation agreement from 30 percent of their income in any year to 50 percent; allows farmers and ranchers to deduct up to 100 percent of their income; and increases the number of years over which a donor can take the deduction from six to 16 years, according to NLTs press release on the subject.
Private conservation donations are in our DNA in this region, Morrison said. Some of our most treasured open spaces exist today because of the generosity of the landowner. This incentive makes the tax benefits of such donations available to a wider array of landowners.

Kiplin Hall
Kiplin Hall
Near Scorton
North Yorkshire
01748 818178
01748 818178
This hidden gem, situated between Richmond and Northallerton, was built in 1620 by George Calvert, Secretary of State to James I and Founder of Maryland, USA.
Since then, the Calverts, Crowes, Carpenters and Talbots, all related by blood or marriage, have left their stamp on the house.
A 'Gothic' wing was added to the original Jacobean house in the 1820s and redesigned in 1887 by W.E. Nesfield.
This intriguing house is now furnished as a comfortable Victorian home with 16 rooms, including the fascinating Travellers' Bedroom, open to the public. The Hall is crowded with an eclectic mix of previous owners' furniture, paintings, portraits and personalia, including many Arts and Crafts items.
The people who owned Kiplin Hall left behind an extensive and important collection of original paintings that date from the 16th – 19th century. These paintings hang throughout the Hall, and include works by notable artists including Joachim Beuckelaer, Luca Carlevarijs, Angelica Kauffman, George Cuit, Siegfried Bendixen and George Frederic Watts.
Many of the owners of Kiplin, family members and local communities have been touched by wars since the Hall was built, from the English Civil War of the 17th century to the Second World War when an RAF Maintenance Unit requisitioned the estate, supplying bombs to local airfields.
Duty Call, an exhibition, trails and events recount 300 years of Kiplin's owners, family members and local communities in times of war.
Venue Type:
Historic house or home, Garden, parklands or rural site
Additional info
Access: The ground floor, including the Shop and Tea Room, is accessible to visitors in wheelchairs. An album of photographs of the first and second floors is available at the Reception Desk.
A large print version of the 'Kiplin Hall Brief Tour' (self-guided) is available.
In the late 19th century, Admiral Carpenter owned Kiplin Hall near Scorton. He and his wife, Beatrice, were interested in the current, national Arts and Crafts movement. This is reflected in the blue and white tiles in the Drawing Room fireplace, designed by the architect Philip Webb and sold by William Morris's firm, Morris & Co., in London. The Library fireplace has richly glazed tiles by William de Morgan, with wonderful ships and sea monsters. Beatrice probably embroidered the fire screen in the Lady Waterford Room, worked from a kit which was sold by Morris & Co.
Beatrice taught classes in woodcarving and inlay, where local men made the furniture she designed. Many pieces are still at Kiplin Hall. Albert Hurwood (1875-1962) of Scorton attended Mrs Carpenter's classes and made many carved items of furniture for his home. His most remarkable piece was a magnificent, oak fireplace with over mantel, carved with vines, which his grandsons have kindly donated to Kiplin Hall.

"After Dunkirk a regiment was given a rendezvous at the house; all day and all night straggling and exhausted men arrived." Kiplin's last owner, Miss Bridget Talbot, recalled: "…sun streaming in on a silent carpet of prostrate khaki figures".
During the First World War she served with the Red Cross and later invented a torch for life-jackets, saving the lives of many service personnel. In the last war, an RAF Maintenance Unit requisitioned the estate, supplying bombs to local airfields.

Scrolling within a text box is impossible when I use a nook tablet.... I can write a few paragraphs, then see a spelling mistake above to correct it, and the text box recenters, moving my text below where I can see to click where I left off to resume writing. I had to scrap a new theory about dietary intuition and land usage relating to neuro inhibitors rejecting and accepting logic as well as creating its own, looking for global patters in accepting vegetables even in bad diets from a question I asked Dr. Michael Greger from nuitritionfacts.org...... he was stumped and couldnt anwser it.... and he literally knows everything. I wrote it here, the above happened and couldnt salvage it.... too much was beneath and couldnt reach the last line. I know a solution on the administrators hand is unlikely given the sites architecture, but does anyone experience something similar and can they help?
I hereby refuse to have this new and deeply insightful look into global dieary psychology and how it relates to kand use and cultural diets here now out of pure spite. Could of been revolutionary, saved the world and offer a array of new insights..... but I am pissed and so now fuck it.

A recent article in Parenting magazine offered the following 3 Step process for parents:
Step One: Find out what's going on. Get the facts and reassure your child that you will both work together on a solution.
Step Two: Help your child figure out how to respond. Some responses include:
Step Three: Take action yourself. Set up a meeting with the teacher, parent, or caregiver.
One of the hardest things for a child to learn is how to stand up for what's right, even in the face of possible scrutiny or embarassment.
The US Department of Health and Human Services has a kid-friendly website called Stop Bullying Now that features info, games, quizzes, and webisodes all designed to address the issues of bullying , offer meaningful discussion starters, and help promote positive ways of combatting this childhood problem. Check out this video featuring the character Melanie and her struggle with a friend who is a known bully.
It can sometimes be hard to tell if childhood squabbles are simply "kids being kids" or if there is a more serious problem.
Stop Bullying Now offers the following advice to parents:
The Children's Library also offers some great books for both children and parents on the subject of bullying. These are a few of our favorites:
On Thursday, the children's librarians hosted an App Chat. A small but enthusiastic group of parents met with Miss Kiera and Miss Claire to hear about great new apps for all ages and share their own favorites.

Probably the same way I deal with straight sex scenes - badly (it's one of my myriad faults as a writer; I can do horrible rape scenes or weird twisted monster sex, but when it comes to romantic scenes my writing becomes either ludicrously strained or Penthouse-letters-pornographic. I'm working on it, though!).
Oh, and Travis - sorry your thread's turned into the gay porn discussion area.
Awesome ... Bret where are you finding the time for this?!

Develop long-term vision and goals for agency's ITS program and ensure timely completion of long lead-time activities to support future ITS initiatives.
Chattanooga Area Regional Transportation Authority's experience in deploying transit ITS
November 2009
Chattanooga,Tennessee,United States
Background (Show)
Lesson Learned
The Chattanooga Area Regional Transportation Authority's (CARTA) SmartBus ITS program offers valuable guidance on the utility of crafting vision and goals and developing a systems overview or operations plan while implementing ITS at a mid-size transit agency. Lessons learned from CARTA's practice of developing vision, goals, and systems overview/operations plan are identified below.
[1] For a comprehensive systems overview diagram, see Figure 2 of the source document
- Develop and update agency's ITS concept of operations plan annually to ensure having a current roadmap for agency's ITS program. In 2004, CARTA prepared a System Overview Update report, which is akin to a Concept of Operations plan, to document a long-term vision of how agency wanted to use ITS. The report included the following key items:
- A Chattanooga Regional Transit ITS Overview Diagram that depicted the current and planned ITS technologies [1]
- Vision and goals
- Descriptions of deployed ITS technologies
- Descriptions of ongoing and planned procurements
- An implementation schedule
- Formulate and utilize agency's long term vision for ITS program to take advantage of relevant funding opportunities. Having a documented long-term vision helped CARTA take advantage of short-term opportunities that arose. For example, CARTA was approached by the University of Tennessee (UT) at Chattanooga with funding to support the installation of arrival time signs at several bus stops on CARTA routes in the UT Chattanooga campus. At the time that this opportunity became available, CARTA did not have all of the systems in place to support real-time bus arrival time information. Realizing that real-time arrival time information was consistent with its long-term plans, CARTA re-organized its planned deployment activities to fast-track those items needed to support arrival time signs.
- Identify and understand agency's goals for ITS program and sequence the long lead-time activities early enough for their timely completion to support the long-term goals. First, understanding the long-term goals helped CARTA ensure that all the necessary preliminary activities were completed to support the long-term goals. This was particularly important with regard to long lead-time items with a long lifetime, such as bus purchases. For example, in 2006 CARTA added requirements that bus purchases include multiplex systems to better support the agency's plans for automated vehicle monitoring (AVM). A bus with multiplex system allows the AVM to perform enhanced monitoring of more devices than a bus without a multiplex system can do. The AVM system on older CARTA buses monitors fewer devices than the system on those purchased after 2006.

text: Local collectibles dealers in antiques can tell you that the motivating point in trying to sell a collectible is that it is only worth what someone else is willing to pay for it. Many of us have collections passed down from our parents or collectibles that we have bought through the years. We might know how much we paid for a Franklin Mint collector's plate or for a Lenox figurine. In our minds, our collections are worth quite a bit as we tally up the years that we have kept our priceless treasure and add those years to the original cost of our treasure. The truth is that until you take your collectibles to a professional local collectibles dealer who does collectibles appraisals, you will never really know the price of your collectible. If you were thinking of selling your collectible antique at a collectibles auction, you might not even get what the professional who did the collectible appraisal said your collectible was worth or you might get more depending on who wanted to own it. Most local collectibles dealers can tell you that in antiques, the professional collector targets his area and searches to find what he is looking to get. You may have such an antique, but you will never know who to sell it to until you contact an expert in collectible appraisals.

Buy a girl a cake, she'll love you for a day. Teach her how to bake...and, she'll have something to do every time her heart gets broken. Am I right? H...
I always think about you at this time of sunset. It is during this hour that I put aside everything about the day which is not important and hold to my heart our inner path, the love we know.
You've got 'em cornered and they can't even throw a drink in your face.
Before I got married and then divorced, I believed in all of the "happily-ever-after" fairy tales. I believed in the nonsense that rom-coms push down our throats about soulmates and forever and love at first sight.
Here's an eclectic list of operatic selections consumed with the topic of love; some are popular pieces your sweetheart is sure to recognize while the more obscure picks will have you looking like an opera buff.
We always think that food is the most important, but how you are treated, before, during and after you eat that food, plays a huge role in how the meal is enjoyed.
I can tell you why you're single. There are seven reasons. Yours is somewhere in there, or maybe you can claim all of them.
For Valentine's Day, we decided to do something crazy. We embarked on creating the World's Largest Valentine. Of course, we didn't think this up months in advance. Nope, we decided to do this on January 21, 2013. And we pulled it off. This is that story.
There is life after divorce, I promise you. And there is, believe it or not, joy.
Having Valentine's Day at the very start of Lent this year can be about more than just us feeling guilty about indulging during Lent, it can remind us that sacrificing ourselves for the sake of love is the greatest sacrifice of all.
Valentine's Day is a day where most spend it with their loved ones and exchange chocolates, flowers and other gifts. This year was a little different for me and my friends. We spent this special day dancing for a good cause.
Going into this "love season," I realized that being polyamorous has lessened my expectation that New Year's Eve and Valentine's Day be magical. This realization came after years of being alone for both holidays; indeed, when I'm not alone, it's usually by coincidence
"Happy Valentine's Day" are the three most unwelcome words to most singles. And to a lot of married people too.
Save that word for someone special, not some ding-dong in math class. Congratulations! I just saved you money you could've spent on boxes of Kleenex and chocolates.
Who decided that being single and 30- or 40-something is a bad thing? I could be cynical here and say that the marrieds respond this way because misery loves company. But, really, most people are conditioned to believe that there is only one path that "normal" people follow.

I can't remember the last time it happened. It had been so long, that I thought it was actually against the rules to do it. But no, Wenger made a half time substitution on the weekend and it wasn't due to an injury!
After a diabolical 45 minutes, our Brazilian superstar, who's passing was even worse than Rebecca Black's singing ability, was taken off to sarcastic applause from the away fans. Denilson's half consisted of plenty of wayward passes, a long range shot which was closer to the corner flag than the goal, and one of his trademark fouls for which he was correctly booked. Granted, he was being played out of position, but why does Wenger constantly attempt to play him in defensive midfield? Probably because when Song is injured, Denilson is the only one who can fill the gap. I know Frimpong is unavailable, but Wenger should have more than one, unproven back up for such a crucial position.
When Denilson joined the club a few seasons ago, there were rave reviews about him. He was captain of the Brazilian U17 team which came second in the 2005 FIFA U17 World Championship and he was considered to be in the same mould as Gilberto Silva. Unfortunately, he hasn't lived up to all the hype. He would be a great player in a different league such as La Liga, where the speed of passing and pressing is generally slower (apart from Barcelona!). A team like Sevilla would suit the Brazilian, but he's not a Gunner.
In addition to Denilson's poor performance this weekend, David Luiz (another Brazilian) showed his class. He was very expensive for a defender, but his composure on the ball was fantastic to watch. He defended brilliantly, albeit against a Man City team which seemed to think that a draw is still only half the points of a win, and he grabbed the opener. Luiz's determination and skill only highlights everything Denilson lacks. The speed with which Luiz plays is remarkable, especially as he is still getting used to the Premier League. Unfortunately, our Brazilian will never have that speed. And it is his slow, lazy passing which is most detrimental to the Arsenal team.
It is possible that his half time substitution will mark the end of his Arsenal career. However, he could do an Eboue U-turn and become a fan favourite. But even Eboue has lost some of his fans recently. It is clear that top players just don't have as many poor performances as both Eboue and Denilson have had in the past. That is why Nasri, RVP and Fabregas are among the best in the world, and the aforementioned duo will probably never be good enough for our beloved club.
A couple of potential images of our home kit 2011/12 have been doing the rounds over recent weeks. I doubt they are accurate though – both the logo and the sleeves seem odd. It is a classic Arsenal shirt, without the frills that MAY be expected of an anniversary shirt (apart from the design around the Arsenal crest). I do still find it a shame that clubs use 125th anniversary to squeeze even more money out of their fans. Oh well, I'm sure the money will go towards a new keeper or centre back… I end up buying a kit most seasons, but if this is the home kit, I'll probably be interested in buying the away kit.

Tourette syndrome is a neuropsychiatric disorder of childhood onset. It is characterized by the presence of multiple motor tics and one or more vocal tics, not necessarily concurrently, that last longer than 1 year. Formal diagnostic criteria from the World Health Organization and the American Psychiatric Association differ only slightly (Table 1). DSM-IV criteria had required the patient to experience functional impairment or distress; however, this requirement, which was often criticized for its vagueness and inconsistent application, was removed in DSM-IV-TR.1
A tic is a sudden movement or vocalization that is rapid, recurrent, nonrhythmic, and stereotypical. Tics decrease in severity with distraction and relaxation, and increase with stress and anxiety. They can be suppressed through the patient's own voluntary control, but they reappear when the patient's effort is relaxed. Tics may be preceded by premonitory feelings, and patients often report that the tics are intentional responses that are executed to relieve these uncomfortable sensations.2,3
Simple motor tics typically involve isolated muscles, producing movements such as blinking or sniffing. Complex motor tics involve contractions in different muscle groups and coordinated movements that resemble normal motor gestures. More complex motor phenomena include echopraxia (repetition of the movements of others) and copropraxia (making obscene gestures), both of which are reported in up to one-fifth of patients in specialists' clinics.
Vocal tics are typically nonverbal (phonic tics) and involve sounds such as throat-clearing or barking. However, approximately 35% of vocal tics are verbal.4 Coprolalia (involuntary uttering of obscenities) is reported in fewer than one-third of clinical cases of Tourette syndrome; mean age at onset is 14 years. Other vocal phenomena include palilalia (repetition of one's own sounds and words), and echolalia (imitation of sounds or words of others).
Prevalence estimates have been largely consistent and range between 0.6% and 1% in mainstream schoolchildren. Most of those affected have mild, subclinical symptoms that are unlikely to disrupt their lives. Studies conducted in special education environments have found a higher prevalence of Tourette syndrome in populations with learning difficulties and autistic spectrum disorders.5,6
There is a significant genetic component to Tourette syndrome, although the mode of inheritance is complex and not fully understood. Tourette syndrome may be an expression of genetic vulnerability interacting with environmental factors.7 Genome scans have highlighted areas of interest in several chromosomes. Recently, rare sequence variants of the gene SLITRK1 on chromosome 13q31.1 have been associated with Tourette syndrome in certain patients, although these findings have yet to be replicated.8,9
■ Studies conducted in special education environments have found a higher prevalence of Tourette syndrome in populations with learning difficulties and autistic spectrum disorders.
■ Environmental factors thought to affect the phenotype of Tourette syndrome include infections, perinatal problems, and hormonal influences.
■ One-third of children with Tourette syndrome will become symptom-free by adulthood; and one-third will exhibit only mild symptoms that require no treatment.
■ The most common comorbid disorder in patients with Tourette syndrome is attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, followed by obsessive-compulsive disorder and affective disorders.
Environmental factors thought to affect the phenotype of Tourette syndrome include infections, perinatal problems, and hormonal influences. Pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorders associated with group A b-hemolytic streptococcal infections can be associated with the onset or exacerbation of tics and/or obsessive-compulsive symptoms; compared with controls, patients with Tourette syndrome are more likely to have had a streptococcal infection 3 months before symptom onset.10,11 It has been suggested that an individual may inherit a susceptibility to Tourette syndrome and also to the way he or she reacts to streptococcal infections.12 Ultimately, this link requires further research and is currently too speculative to play a part in clinical practice.
Neuroimaging studies have improved understanding of the pathophysiological processes involved in Tourette syndrome. Disturbances in the basal ganglia and frontal cortical circuits have been implicated in the development of tic symptoms.13 One model suggests that decreased inhibitory output from the basal ganglia results in excessive activity in the frontal cortical areas and gives rise to involuntary movements. A second model proposes that the basal ganglia facilitate desired behaviors by filtering out and preventing competing unwanted behaviors from interfering. A dysfunction in the ba-sal ganglia based on this model could result in the clinical spectrum associated with Tourette syndrome: tics, obsessive-compulsive behavior, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), all of which involve impaired inhibition of unwanted behaviors.
The extended Tourette spectrum: assessment and diagnosis
Tourette syndrome is diagnosed through detailed personal and family history, together with physical, neurological, and mental state examinations. There are no specific diagnostic investigations, although in late-onset tic disorders, it is important to rule out brain lesions with neuroimaging and to check serum levels of copper and ceruloplasmin to exclude Wilson disease.
Tourette syndrome is a lifelong disorder. Tics, which first appear at a mean age of 7 years, characteristically wax and wane in severity, with transient periods of remission. Stress has been shown to be a factor in the increase of tic severity; as noted, there are reports of increased symptoms in stressful situations.14 Recent follow-up studies suggest symptoms reach peak severity when the patient is 10 years old; by the time the patient is 18, the severity is largely reduced.15 One-third of children with Tourette syndrome will become symptom-free by adulthood, and one-third will exhibit only mild symptoms that require no treatment.16
Reassurance or psychological intervention may be sufficient for patients with mild symptoms. There is considerable evidence to support the use of habit reversal training—a specific type of behavioral approach—as an alternative or adjunct treatment for some patients who have Tourette syndrome.17
For the majority of patients, however, pharmacological intervention proves most beneficial in treating tic symptoms and associated behaviors. The choice of medication should be based on the predominant symptom (Table 2). For tic symptoms, neuroleptics (such as haloperidol(Drug information on haloperidol) and pimozide) and atypical antipsychotics (including risperidone and aripiprazole(Drug information on aripiprazole)) are useful. In general, the atypical antipsychotics have a better tolerability profile. Clonidine(Drug information on clonidine) is also a first-line agent for tic symptoms and comorbid ADHD.
Only 1 in 10 patients with Tourette syndrome has no other behavioral problems, as evidenced by studies in both epidemiological and clinical settings.18,19 The most common comorbid psychiatric disorder in patients with Tourette syndrome is ADHD, followed by obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and affective disorders. In patients who have comorbidities, higher levels of anger control problems, sleep difficulties, coprolalia, and self-injurious behaviors have been reported.18
ADHD affects as many as 60% to 80% of patients with Tourette syndrome. ADHD symptoms are seen to occur even in subclinical cases identified through epidemiological studies.20 The 2 disorders share a similar clinical picture, which suggests an overlapping but unknown neurobiological basis and, more controversially, a shared genetic background.21,22
ADHD symptoms are frequently the first to emerge in patients with a dual diagnosis (according to DSM criteria, ADHD symptoms should appear before age 7). The diagnosis of ADHD in a young patient with Tourette syndrome requires thorough assessment: apparent ADHD symptoms may be a result of the child trying to suppress tics or the restlessness the tics cause. A further complication is sleep disturbance: sleeping problems have been seen both in children with ADHD and in children with Tourette syndrome.
The cautious use of stimulants, such as methylphenidate(Drug information on methylphenidate), for the treatment of patients with both Tourette syndrome and ADHD has recently been advocated.23 As noted, clonidine has also been used successfully in patients with Tourette syndrome and ADHD.24 In addition, clonidine may be useful as an adjunctive treatment along with stimulants; some suggest that this agent extends the effects of stimulants while controlling their adverse effects.25 As a successful treatment for sleeping difficulties in children with neurodevelopmental disorders, clonidine may be useful given at night.26
OCD is thought to affect from 11% to 80% of patients with Tourette syndrome. OCD and Tourette syndrome are intimately related and share similar characteristics. Both are lifelong disorders with childhood onset that feature voluntary behaviors as responses to involuntary sensations, exacerbated by stress. The similarity of the 2 disorders supports the hypothesis that certain obsessive-compulsive behaviors are part of the spectrum of Tourette syndrome.27,28
The obsessive-compulsive behaviors found in Tourette syndrome appear to be both clinically and statistically distinct from those found in OCD in its isolated form. Patients with primary OCD more often have obsessions concerning dirt and compulsions concerning cleaning, while patients with Tourette syndrome and comorbid OCD have significantly more violent, sexual, and symmetrical obsessions along with forced touching, counting, and self-damaging compulsions.29 Those with both conditions experience compulsions that arise spontaneously, whereas patients with primary OCD characteristically experience compulsions preceded by cognitions.
OCD responds to SSRIs, such as sertraline and fluoxetine, or the tricyclic antidepressant clomipramine(Drug information on clomipramine). Tic symptoms, however, are usually unaffected by SSRIs. Some suggest that augmentation with a typical neuroleptic is indicated for the patient with Tourette syndrome who does not respond to an SSRI.30
Affective disorders are common among patients with Tourette syndrome; the lifetime risk is 10% and prevalence ranges from 1.8% to 8.9%. The cause of depression in patients with Tourette syndrome is probably multifactorial.27 Depression may arise because of the patient's need to cope with a chronic, stigmatizing disorder, or because of bullying in school. Patients who receive pharmacological treatment may experience depression as an adverse effect of the medications (such as haloperidol and risperidone(Drug information on risperidone)) commonly used in Tourette syndrome. Depression is also a common complication of OCD and is a major comorbid disorder in patients with ADHD. Thus, the depressive symptoms may be secondary to comorbid OCD or ADHD.
Three studies in clinical settings have consistently found a higher prevalence of personality disorders in patients with Tourette syndrome than in controls.31-33 The most frequent personality disorders are borderline, depressive, obsessive-compulsive, paranoid, passive-aggressive, avoidant, and schizoid types. One study found that 15% of the 102 patients with Tourette syndrome fulfilled diagnostic criteria for schizotypal personal-ity disorder, best predicted by high obsessional and anxiety ratings.33
The increased prevalence of personality disorders among those with Tourette syndrome may be a consequence of comorbid ADHD, which has been found to predict behavioral problems and antisocial personality disorder in adulthood.34,35 Referral bias may also play a role, however, in that an individual with both Tourette syndrome and a personality disorder is more likely to be referred to a specialist than an individual with Tourette syndrome alone.
Advances in therapeutic avenues are providing specialists with new treatment options for complex cases. Specifically, deep brain stimulation, which targets the basal ganglia and/or the thalamus, is emerging as a promising neurosurgical approach for highly select, severely affected, treatment-resistant patients. Preliminary reports provide initial support for the efficacy and safety profile of this procedure.36
Tourette syndrome is rarely considered in isolation: its clinical picture is often influenced by closely related conditions, such as OCD, ADHD, impulse discontrol, and affective disorders. A major topic for future research is the precise nature of the relationships between these disorders. Those who treat patients with Tourette syndrome must be prepared to deal with associated symptoms from comorbid disorders and should aim therapy at the predominant symptom. Disease-specific instruments, such as the recently developed Gilles de la Tourette syndrome–quality of life scale37 may assist physicians in the assessment of the symptoms that need to be prioritized.

Getting the AC to cool the rear in a Santro takes time. The front gets chilled quite fast, but for the rear, it takes at least 15 minutes for the effect to be felt. Direct the centre two AC vents straight toward the rear, and the front two side AC vents toward the driver and front passenger – that helps a little. Another trick is to lower the rear…[Read more]
well beat will be lot cheaper, but figo will be a good take, its more spacious, more sturdy, frugal and has heart throb interiors in starting range …. a figo is a good buy among your choices … sure give a look at ritz too … cheers !!!!
I suggest you to go with the ford figo,it offers you more space than the vista and beat and the new facelift figo even has more features.Now when the question comes which one is better in performance I say even though beat gives more mileage and people say that tata vista 90 is more fun to drive my vote goes to the ford figo.Ford has a good built…[Read more]
requirements :- avg running 1000 km per month and price less than 6 lacs
is BEAT a good buy for me??
what city you are residing in????
You do not get a diesel Swift for 6L. Beat and Figo is very simple. Depends on how much space you need.
how is the current market scenario for Chevrolet BEAT? is it dependable as maruti or hyundai? My requirements are only the above specified.Comfort space speed etc are not much my issue. I also want to knw if any problem comes will i have to go to the service centre always as i wont have time to look into. i want to buy and forget the…[Read more]
Only the top end Beat diesel comes close to your budget. It will come with 3 years of maintenance and you can opt for extended warranty too. It is primarily a city car and has funky interiors / design which appeal more to the youth. It is an extremely driveable vehicle. For your usage, a petrol vehicle would do just fine. If you are fine with that…[Read more]
Not knowing what your specific requirements are, I would say the City is the best of this lot. Followed by the Verna
It would be much easier if you could tell us what you are looking for in a car. If its a long list of features, its the Verna. Honda City is the safest buy in petrol sedans and a very well rounded package. Rapid is the drivers car in these four options. SX4 will have space on the rear bench as well as in the boot and currently has noticeable…[Read more]
If you're going to take a hammer to it, then it would probably be the Trax
But if you're talking in terms of safety, then it's not got to do with just a strong body. Infact, sometimes it's better if the body absorbs the impact and crumples than pass it on to the cabin inside. There are a lot of other factors, like airbags, crumple zones, ABS,…[Read more]
