Dr. Allen Buresz - "In 1996 the World Health Organization warned that Ritalin over-use has reached dangerous proportions.
Hopefully, by being armed with correct information, you may be able to avoid using Ritalin or other similar medications. Use of these drugs on a long-term basis is
questionable. Safety of such long-term use is simply unknown, but many dangerous side effects have been increasingly. Ritalin, for instance, may
provoke seizures and suppress growth, or it may cause angina, blood pressure changes, depression or any of a very long list of serious side effects.".

Teas Are One of The Most Effective Ways to Benefit from Nature's Healing Herbs
Teas can help fight depression and anxiety, heal skin conditions and gastrointestinal disorders, regulate hormone

medicine can also be treated naturally with healing herbs. These treatments can be safer, less expensive and possibly even more effective
than traditional methods.

Forced Drugging of Children - Parents may face jail over compulsory drug ordersIn
the US judges can constitutionally order controversial drugs to be given
to a child over the opposition of his parents. Parents are medicating their
children for fear of having them hauled away by Child Protective
Services. In the UK Parents of children diagnosed with attention deficit
hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) will face jail under proposals in the new
Mental Health Bill if they refuse to drug their children, a psychiatrist has warned.
Ritalin is the number one prescription drug for children with attention
deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). This drug has such tremendous potential
for abuse that it is classified as a controlled substance by the Drug Enforcement
Agency. Ritalin is an amphetamine (in street jargon, "speed") with a lengthy
list of side effects, including nervousness, insomnia, nausea, abdominal
pain, loss of appetite, dizziness, palpitations, headaches, irregular heart
rhythms, and psychic dependence — in short, addiction.
In fact, Ritalin's appeal to drug users and its potential for abuse
are so high that US House Judiciary Chair Henry Hyde (R-IL) recently filed
a request with the General Accounting Office (GAO) to conduct an investigation
of Ritalin abuse in public schools. In addition, class action lawsuits
have been filed in Texas, California and New Jersey charging Swiss pharmaceutical
giant Novartis, maker of Ritalin, with conspiracy to create the psychiatric
disorder known as ADHD in order to fuel the market for their product.
Fred Baughman - " In the area of child psychiatric drugs, the main
focus has been the recently commenced FDA hearings, which pertain to reports
of death, strokes and heart attacks in children and adults. The first report
concerning Adderall came out about a year ago. Adderall is the number one
ADHD drug, and that report dealt with 12 or so individuals that were said
to have had strokes, if you can imagine a stroke occurring in a young child.
Some were sudden deaths and others were heart complications, and a total
of 20 to 30 such reports lead Health Canada to take Adderall off the market."

The latest version of methylphenidate is an extended-released tablet
that will be the most expensive prescription drug on the ADHD market. The
once-a-day drug, called Concerta, was launched with great fanfare just
in time for the new school year, with a team of 515 sales reps targeting
pediatricians, family practitioners, psychiatrists, neurologists, and family
practitioners around the country. Though promoters of the drug say it will
help eliminate the embarrassment experienced by children who have to take
medication at school, the drug will do nothing to eliminate the dangers
of methylphenidate. In clinical studies, side effects of Concerta were
virtually identical to those of Ritalin.

Pharma Bribes Doctors to Hook Your Kids on Drugs
For decades, the majority of American doctors, mental health professionals,
the media, and the general public have yielded to the disseminations of
Harvard psychiatrist Joseph Biedeman who successfully evangelized for more
children -- and younger children -- to be medicated with powerful psychiatric
drugs. The blowback from ADHD drugs is reported in the current July 2009
Scientific American Mind article "Do ADHD Drugs Take a Toll on the Brain?"
a comprehensive report of the long-term dangers of ADHD drugs such as Ritalin,
Concerta, Adderall, and Vyvanse. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC)
estimated in 2005 that 9% of boys and 4% of girls in the U.S. were taking
ADHD stimulant medications; and according to a 2007 study, ADHD-drug prescriptions
rose by almost 12 percent a year between 2000 and 2005.
ADHD drugs are either the "amphetamine-like" methylphenidate (e.g.,
Ritalin and Concerta) or actual amphetamines (e.g., Adderall and Vyvanse),
so it should not be surprising that long-term use is associated with many
hazards. The current Scientific American Mind piece, authored by Edmund
S. Higgins, clinical associate professor of family medicine and psychiatry
at the Medical University of South Carolina states, "Methylphenidate has
a chemical structure similar to that of cocaine and acts on the brain in
a very similar way." In February 2009, neuroscientists at the Rockefeller
University reported cocaine-like structural and chemical alterations in
the brains of mice given methylphenidate. The

to the neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by impulsivity, distractibility
and hyperactivity. In the pathogenesis of ADHD genetic and non-genetic
factors play an important role. It is assumed that one of non-genetic factors
could be oxidative stress. This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled
study investigated the influence of intercellular reduced Glutathione and
oxidized Glutathione in children suffering from ADHD and total antioxidant
status (TAS). This is the first investigation of the redox Glutathione
state in relation to ADHD.
RESULTS: One month of Glutathione administration caused a significant
decrease in oxidized Glutathione and a highly significant increase in Glutathione
levels as well as improvement of Glutathione/oxidized Glutathione ratio
in comparison to a group of patients taking a placebo. TAS in children
with ADHD was decreased in comparison with reference values. Glutathione
administration normalized the TAS of ADHD children in this study.

- "Clinical evidence links low glutathione levels to the most common illnesses
of our time as well as newly emerging diseases. Glutathione
levels diminish as we age and many diseases normally associated with aging
have been linked to glutathione deficiency."
Glutathione is a master antioxidant,
an important line of defense against diseases, toxins, viruses, pollutants,
radiation and oxidative stress. Low glutathione levels are linked to diseases
such as Cancer, Multiple Sclerosis, AIDS, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Atherosclerosis,
pregnancy complications, male infertility and Cataracts. A Glutathione
deficiency can cause a lack of coordination, mental disorders, tremors,
and difficulty maintaining balance. Glutathione is continuously defending
our body against attacks from disease, toxins, poisons, viruses, pollutants,
radiation and oxidative stress. Without Glutathione our liver would soon
become overwhelmed with the accumulation of toxins, resulting in organ
failure and death.
Robert O. Young D.Sc.,

substance have been published, and the scientific understanding of glutathione
is gradually becoming common knowledge. Each and every cell in the body

is always in great demand and is rapidly consumed when we experience any
sort of emotional or physical stress, fatigue and even moderate exercise."

drugs cause major changes in brain chemistry and in behavior. International
drug regulators warn that the drugs we are doling out to kids can cause
mania, psychosis, depersonalization, suicidal and even homicidal ideation.
If we take a look at the school shooters that were under the influence
of these drugs, you have to wonder why there hasn't been a federal investigation
into the correlation between drugs documented to cause violence and suicide
and kids taking them who then became violent and suicidal. If even a handful
of these school shooters were found to be taking PCP or smoking crack we
would have headline news announcing a causal relationship between illicit
drug use and acts of violence. But because these kids are taking legal
drugs, prescribed by a psychiatrist for an alleged mental disorder, something
we use to refer to as "childhood," the powers that be don't think it merits
an investigation. Well we are all aware of how much Pharma spends on lobbying
efforts. Regarding corporate media I would venture a guess that the reason
they haven't taken on the issue is simple: Big Pharma is now one of, if
not the largest, advertisers in the United States, with $5 billion a year

Whitaker, M.D., believes there is a direct link between the violent
shootings and the increased and indiscriminate use of popular antidepressant
drugs. Dr. Whitaker points out that many of the gun-related massacres
that have made the headlines over the past decade have a common thread:
they were perpetrated by people taking Prozac, Zoloft, Luvox, Paxil, or
a related drug. A documented side effect of these drugs -- known clinically
as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) -- is akathisia, or
physical and mental agitation. Dr. Whitaker says "akathisia is to violence
what a match is to gasoline. And this condition has been reported in a
significant number of Prozac users." Moreover, the Food and Drug Administration
has received over 40,000 reports detailing adverse effects related to Prozac.

studies, including 18 double-blind studies, in support of its claims. According
to Natural Organics CEO Gerald Kessler, the FTC has failed to produce a
single study supporting its allegations. Kessler questions the FTC's motives,

Some physicians become known as whores." This is strong language in
Kassirer's mostly temperate but tough look at how big business is corrupting
medicine—but according to Kassirer, one doctor's wife used the word "whore"
to describe her husband's accepting high fees to promote medical products.
Such personal anecdotes distinguish Kassirer's look at the conversion of
America's health-care system into a commercial enterprise. Kassirer, former
editor-in-chief of the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine, notes
the range of conflicts of interest between profit-centered business and
people-centered medicine, such as the drug industry's huge expenditures
(in the billions) for courting doctors to use their products, for recruiting
physicians to tout their drugs or, more slyly, to present seemingly objective
medical discussions that, on closer examination, do favor the company's
product over others. Kassirer also covers the abuses of both fee-for-service
(which can lead doctors to perform unnecessary but lucrative tests and
procedures) and HMOs (which reward doctors for keeping costs down).

Review Of Potential Therapies In Care Of The Hyperactive Child Harold

experts believe that children with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder
(ADHD) may be exhibiting the effects of mild magnesium deficiency (such
as irritability, decreased attention span, and mental confusion). In one
clinical study of 116 children with ADHD, 95% were magnesium deficient.
In a separate clinical study, 75 magnesium-deficient children with ADHD
were randomly assigned to receive magnesium supplements in addition to
standard treatment or standard treatment alone for 6 months. Those who
received magnesium demonstrated a significant improvement in behavior,
whereas those who received only standard therapy without magnesium exhibited
worsening behavior. These results suggest that magnesium supplementation,
or at least high amounts of magnesium in the diet, may prove to be beneficial
for children with ADHD.
Magnesium is nothing short of a miracle mineral in its healing effect
on a wide range of diseases as well as in its ability to rejuvenate the
aging body. Symptoms of magnesium deficiency may include agitation and
anxiety, restless leg syndrome (RLS), sleep disorders, irritability, nausea
and vomiting, abnormal heart rhythms, low blood pressure, confusion, muscle
spasm and weakness, hyperventilation, insomnia, and even seizures. Approximately
nine out of ten people will show dramatic improvements in the state of
their health when they replete their magnesium levels and the very best
way to do that is with ancient minerals magnesium drawn from an ancient inactive seabed 2 miles beneath
the earth in Europe. With such "brine solutions" one can simply apply the
concentrate to the skin or pour it into ones bath water and one will have

they must be stopped. Sometimes they cause even more serious side effects.
The answer is to pay attention to what was eaten, touched or smelled just

Empower! - Not Control! A Holistic Approach to ADHD
Christopher Hobbs L.Ac., A.H.G. - "Many natural health practitioners
and herbalists view severe hyperactivity in children as being closely related
to emotional and physical nourishment. The child may be starved for affection,
attention, or important nutrients that are not available in some modern
fast-food diets. In this article Christopher Hobbs, L.Ac., a fourth generation
herbalist, discusses natural and herbal alternatives for calming hyperactivity
in children." Calming

Researchers at The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in
Houston and the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston (UTMB)

but the journal editors have made it available online in the journal's

Lawsuits filed in Texas, California and New Jersey claim that the booming
success of Ritalin is the result of a conspiracy in which the American
Psychiatric Association, Novartis Pharmaceutical Corp. and national parents'
group Children and Adults With Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
(CHADD) colluded to create the diagnoses of Attention Deficit Disorder
(ADD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Following the
acceptance of ADD/ADHD as medical diagnoses, sales of Ritalin and similar
stimulants have skyrocketed, with more than 6 million such prescriptions
being written in 1995, according to the National Institute of Mental Health.

Dr. Mercola - "Over one million American children take drugs

ADDers Are More
Likely to Have Fatty Acid Deficiencies A Purdue University
study showed that kids low in Omega-3 essential fatty
acids are significantly more likely to be hyperactive, have learning
disorders, and to display behavioral problems. Omega-3 deficiencies have
also been tied to dyslexia, violence, depression, memory problems, weight
gain, cancer, heart disease, eczema, allergies, inflammatory diseases,
arthritis, diabetes, and many other conditions.
Over 2,000 scientific studies have demonstrated the wide range of problems
associated with Omega-3 deficiencies. The American
diet is almost devoid of Omega 3's except for certain types of fish. In
fact, researchers believe that about 60% of Americans are deficient in
fatty acids, and about 20% have so little that test methods cannot
even detect any in their blood. Your brain is more than 60% structural
fat, just as your muscles are made of protein and your bones are made of
calcium. But it's not just any fat that our brains are made of. It has
to be certain types of fats, and we no longer eat these types of fats like
we used to. Worse, we eat man-made trans-fats
and excessive amounts of saturated fats and vegetable oils high in Omega-6
fatty acids, all of which interfere which our body's attempt to utilize
the tiny amount of Omega-3 fats that it gets. Other parts of our bodies
also need Omega-3 fatty acids. Symptoms of fatty acid deficiency include
a variety of skin problems such as eczema, thick patches of skin, and cracked
heels. Omega 3 fatty acids are known to improve mental function, mood,
memory and concentration and have already demonstrated considerable success
in the treatment of conditions such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder,
schizophrenia, ADD and ADHD. more
Hyperactive children lack essential fatty acids
- WEST LAFAYETTE, INDIANA. Children suffering from attention-deficit
hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are inattentive, impulsive, and hyperactive.
Researchers at Purdue University now report that hyperactive children have
lower levels of key fatty acids in their blood than do normal children.
Their experiment involved 53 boys aged 6 to 12 years of age who suffered
from ADHD, but were otherwise healthy and 43 matched controls. Analyses
showed that the boys with ADHD had significantly lower levels of arachidonic,
eicosapentaenoic, and docosahexaenoic acids in their blood. The hyperactive
children suffered more from symptoms associated with essential fatty acid
deficiency (thirst, frequent urination, and dry hair and skin) and were
also much more likely to have asthma and to have had many ear infections.
The researchers conclude that ADHD may be linked to a low intake of omega-3
fatty acids (linolenic, eicosapentaenoic, and docosahexaenoic acids) or
a poorer ability to convert 18-carbon fatty acids to longer more highly
unsaturated acids. The researchers conclude that supplementation with the
missing fatty acids may be a useful treatment for hyperactivity.

There are many serious consequences of generation after generation having
diets deficient in an element essential for normal development of the nervous
system. We live in a society where $33 billion dollars per year is pumped
into advertising unhealthy processed foods, fast foods and junk foods -
and a large percentage of that advertising is aimed right at your kids
– and it works. The processed food industry has successfully changed
what we consider to be "normal" in terms what we eat and what we feed our
children. The processed food, junk food, and fast food industries are serving
it up, Americans are gulping it down, and wide spread obesity and chronic
disease is the result. From there, the masses are driven into the "waiting
hands" of the highly profitable drug companies. We're offered pills that
alleviate our symptoms while the simple underlying causes are ignored.
Every dollar that the drug companies spend on TV drug ads result in over
$4 in drug sales and there's no end in sight. more
"Some experts believe that children with ADHD may be exhibiting the
effects of mild magnesium deficiency (such as irritability, decreased attention
span, and mental confusion). In one study of 116 children with ADHD, 95%
were magnesium deficient. In a separate study, 75 magnesium-deficient
with ADHD were randomly assigned to receive magnesium supplements in addition
to standard treatment or standard treatment alone for 6 months. Those who
received magnesium demonstrated a significant improvement in behavior,
whereas those who received only standard therapy without magnesium exhibited
worsening behavior. These results suggest that magnesium supplementation,
or at least high amounts of magnesium in the diet, may prove to be beneficial
for children with ADHD. Speak with your physician about possible use."
Sodium Fluoride is currently added to the majority of municipal water
systems in the U.S. to prevent cavities in children. Its use has risen
rapidly since the 1950's. Sodium Fluoride is also registered with the EPA
as a rat poison, although advocates say its use in low levels in water
poses no adverse health concerns. There has been considerable research
done on fluoride regarding cancer, birth defects, and risks to the respiratory,
gastrointestinal, and urinary systems, however, very little has been done
on its neurological effects. more
In this article it is intended to show evidence of the relationship
between vaccination and behavioural problems in children, from mild to
severe (ADHD and autism), through 30 case histories. The evidence is provided
through the use of potentised vaccines. The hypothesis is that if the complaints
disappear or strongly ameliorate with the treatment of the potentised substance
which is supposed to be the cause of the complaints, the proof is delivered
that the particular substance caused the damage. The fact that mild, moderate
and severe cases of behavioural problems, often with concomitant physical
problems, are seen and cured by this method strengthens the evidence of
a causal relationship between vaccinations and behavioural problems. more
Congressman is calling for criminal penalties for any government
agency that knew about the dangers of thimerosal in vaccines and did nothing
to protect American children. Congressman Dan Burton (R-Indiana)
during Congressional Hearing: "You mean to tell me that since 1929, we've
been using Thimerosal, and the only test that you know of is from
1929, and every one of those people had mennigitis, and they all died?"
For nearly an hour, Burton repeatedly asked FDA and CDC officials what
they knew and when they knew it.

Hallaway, RN, and author of the book Turning
Lead into Gold - How Heavy Metal Poisoning Can Affect Your Child and How
to Prevent and Treat It, found this out the hard way. Her twin boys
were diagnosed as hyperactive with Attention Deficit Disorder and
autistic tendencies. Her doctor found unacceptable levels of lead,
arsenic, aluminum and cadmium in their bodies, and his treatments led to
immediate and spectacular improvement in both children.
These children were prescribed Ritalin, then Anafril, and then Clonidine
at age three. Since their first treatment to remove the heavy metals, they
have not needed any medications at all for their previously diagnosed disorders.
According to Nancy Hallaway, their eye contact is great, their unusual
agitation and anxieties have disappeared, and though Nancy was told that
the twins might never talk, not only are they both talking now, but they
attend regular classes in school. All this resulted from removing toxic
metals from their body tissues.
Whether the link to heavy metals, chemicals and vaccination
toxins is causal or not, there is no question among many doctors, scientists
and parents alike that children have regressed developmentally and/or shown
signs of autistic spectrum disorders and ADD upon receiving the basic childhood
vaccinations, such as MMR and DPT. more
In addition, mercury and other heavy metals can accumulate in the body
of the fetus, as these metals can and do cross over from the mother into
the unborn baby via the placenta. Particularly implicated are iron, lead,
mercury and copper. This may explain why some children who were not immunized
nevertheless have autism or show autistic tendencies.
The fact that heavy metals can and do build up in the body of unborn
children echoes the findings of doctors Walsh and Usman: If these children
are missing an enzyme to break down heavy metals, these metals that cross
over from the placenta will accumulate in the tissues of the body and cause
damage to the brain and immune system, even in unborn children.
Most of the children I treated with diet and supplements no longer
needed the Ritalin they had been taking. Their problem was not a Ritalin
deficiency. They had mineral and vitamin deficiencies. Their behavior good
mornings and terrible afternoons; either sleepy or restless and inattentive
were easily explained by their diet. Along with a better diet, they needed
minerals to act as co-Enzymes
for basic metabolism. As I expanded my research with reading and using
nutrition as treatment for patients, I noted that the nutritional approach
was valid for other conditions not just the hyperactive child.

in children with major depressive disorder is fluoxetine (Prozac).
Safe and Effective alternatives for ADD and ADHD
The homeopathic approach
is growing in popularity as an alternative treatment for hyperactivity
in children. Homeopathy is gaining recognition in the conventional field
of medicine and has been subject to many clinical trials.
Homeopaths are able to treat ADD effectively in many cases by bringing
the individual into balance. Homeopaths treat people with ADD, not the
ADD itself. For a homeopath, what needs to be treated is the specific pattern
of symptoms which an individual presents. Only the one homeopathic medicine
that specifically matches the unique symptoms of the individual will allow
the person to live in a functional way.

Homeopathy is safe and effective natural medicine with a high success
rate in treating emotional and behavioral disorders in children and teens
- including attention deficit, hyperactivity, depression, apathy, anxiety,
anger, aggression, defiance, and obsessive-compulsive disorders. Rather
than suppressing symptoms, homeopathy seeks to create deep, long-term behavioral
changes. Quoting from Edward H. Chapman, M.D., Dht, President of the American
Institute of Homeopathy, and Clinical Instructor at the Harvard University
School of Medicine: "For those who need support in their struggle with
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder … they can be assured from two
hundred years experience using homeopathic medicines that they are safe.
Your conventional doctor may be skeptical if you choose to use homeopathy.
Don't let that stop you. Seek assistance from well-trained homeopathic
providers who are willing to work with you and your doctors." more

UK: In the UK, parents of children diagnosed with attention deficit

their children. Dr Johnson, a clinical psychiatrist for 40 years, said
the huge rise in the use of drugs was worrying. Some parents say they have
little choice but to use drugs for their children. more
Some public schools are accusing parents of child abuse when they balk

ABSTRACT. The criteria for Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
focus on behaviors that adults find frustrating and disruptive. Conflicts
between children and adults are redefined as diseases or disorders within
the children. Treatment with stimulant drugs such as methylphenidate (Ritalin)
will produce greater docility in any child (or animal) without actually
improving conduct or academic performance. Parents are not informed that
they are trading behavioral control for toxic drug effects. The label ADHD
is attached to children who are in reality deprived of appropriate adult
attention These children require improved adult attention to their basic
Avoiding Ritalin
"In 1996 the World Health Organization warned that Ritalin over-use
has reached dangerous proportions. Hopefully, by being armed with correct
information, you may be able to avoid using Ritalin or other similar medications.
Use of these drugs on a long-term basis is questionable. Safety of such
long-term use is simply unknown, but many dangerous side effects have been
increasingly. Ritalin, for instance, may provoke seizures and suppress
growth, or it may cause angina, blood pressure changes, depression or any
of a very long list of serious side effects."
Beat Your Depression
Naturally Depression is "public enemy number one" when it comes
to psychological illness. It descends upon 40 million US citizens every
year. It removes all the joy from their lives, leaves them unable to function
and causes their family and friends much distress. It is a terrible thing
to have to happen to you. What's even worse is they are told the same old
story about their depression and prescribed powerful anti-depressants to
"cure" them. These drugs may help temporarily. But that's it. And if you
aren't told what depression really is, how can you defeat it?

herbal medicine is holistic medicine, it is, in fact, able to look beyond
the symptoms to the underlying systemic imbalance; when skilfully applied
by the trained practitioner, herbal medicine offers very real and permanent
solutions to very real problems, many of them seemingly intractable to
pharmaceutical intervention. Nowhere is the efficacy of herbalism more
evident than in problems related to the nervous system. Stress, anxiety,
tension and depression are intimately connected with most illness. And
the herbalist finds his success accelerated by including in his treatment,
medicine to free the body from the vicious cycle of interference from worry
and nervousness that so often takes its toll on otherwise healthy systems.

for any specific ailment. All I can assure anyone is that it has worked
for me. There are no adverse health problems known to arise from its use.
If permanent change and a cure for the majority of ADD
victims is to happen, we must look to the political and economic forces
which allowed such things as MSG and aspartame to be even introduced to
the public. As Jaren's true story illustrates, there are millions
of children and parents who face a living hell from ADD and/or ADHD. They
represent a major political force in a nation that is beginning to stagger
from the economic load created by the unnecessarily ill effects caused
by MSG
, aspartame
and Ritalin. It is necessary, for all of our health, that all variations
of MSG are honestly labeled and people such as Jaren's family can use their
freedom of choice to avoid use. Furthermore, why not ban MSG, aspartame
and Ritalin from our food, drink, cosmetics, vaccines and medicines forever?
They are not needed. Safe alternatives are available. I can only hope that

South Carolina evangelicals edge toward Catholic Santorum in U.S. Republican race
Religious conservative voters in South Carolina, shaking off months of indecision, are showing signs of movement toward surging Rick Santorum, a Roman Catholic, but are still badly split in the Republican presidential race. Before they jump off the fence, many of those Christian right voters will need to be convinced Santorum is the candidate who can kick President Barack Obama out of the White House.
"I see a little bit of movement to Santorum in South Carolina in the last few days," said Robert Taylor, a dean at Bob Jones University, the powerful fundamentalist Christian college in Greenville. "But when you talk about religious conservative voters now, the big consideration is 'Can he beat Obama?'" Taylor said. "Santorum is still going to have to make the case that he is the one who can do it."
Santorum took a big first step toward rallying religious right voters last week in Iowa, where he came within eight votes of an upset of front-runner Mitt Romney in the kick-off contest of the 2012 Republican nominating race. South Carolina is the next battleground after Tuesday's New Hampshire vote, but polls show Santorum splitting conservative votes here with Texas Governor Rick Perry, former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich and U.S. Representative Ron Paul.
Santorum built his shoestring campaign on a grass-roots appeal to social and religious conservatives. He left New Hampshire to kick off the South Carolina race on Sunday and won the endorsement of evangelical leader Gary Bauer, who called him "a conservative leader for our times."

Hotline Miami patch enables gamepad support, snaps necks of bugs
The abstract hotpot of stealth, ultra-violence, 1980s chic, surrealism, and the color pink that is self-branded "top-down f***-em-up" Hotline Miami has its first update from the designer duo over at Dennaton Games. Today's patch stamps out "most reported bugs" with a meat cleaver and adds Xbox controller support for players who prefer thumbsticks as their bloodbath delivery of choice.
An extra stage, "Highball," also appears as an unlockable bonus upon completion of the main story. You're also receiving "additional environmental graphics," extra sound effects, and more weapons randomly strewn about. Most importantly: "The pot of boiling water has been updated." Well, it sounds important. Read up on the full patch notes on Hotline Miami's Steam community page.

Inclement Press
Inclement Press is a small, local publishing company started in 2009 by artist/author/illustrator, Tracy Lovett, with the sole purpose of telling the stories of the children of her "town", Inclement, Iowa. Located in Sidney, Iowa, Inclement Press is an extremely personal venture for Tracy and her family, and she is constantly working on future stories and their illustrations so she can bring all the children of this world into the world of Inclement. 15 books are planned for the Bug Summer series, and at this point, Tracy has an additional 20 titles of related books that tell other tales, at other reading levels. Inclement, like all towns, is full of children, and each of them has a story to tell. Tracy is fortunate enough to be the person they whisper these stories to, and she, in turn, passes them on to the rest of us. She also does school and library visits to help spread these marvelous stories. Keep your eyes out for more Bug Summer titles, and also other Inclement Tales, such as Oliver's World, The Great Inky Expedition, 10 Things I learned From My Summertime Fairy In A Bottle, and Don't Let The Bedbugs Bite, just to name a few!

- Twice in one month!IndustryDivaDined on 9/28/2014After my first visit, I knew I'd be back. It was the perfect place this time because the birthday we were celebrating was for a friend who no longer lives in the state, and I wanted to go somewhere really local, but nice still with a decent menu that has a wide range of items for affordable price. Hom was the perfect place. I love the entrée I had- roasted chicken with mashed potatoes and a peach glaze sauce. So good. Love Hom!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Food - Support WisconsinFoodieFourDined on 9/27/2014Our group of four made a point to all order something different and our results were: the cheese curds are phenomenal, the French onion soup was bland so forego that for the beer cheese soup, and the pot roast is better than mom's!!!! The ribs, the fish fry and the stuffed pork chop were all tasty but will not be able to compete with other rib houses and local fish fries which is good. They will be known for their comfort food so stick to that part of their menu for sure!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Really Good Food!LaurKDined on 9/27/2014We found this restaurant with a Yellow Pages search. Boy are we glad we did. Really nice place, great for any occasion, delicious food!Special Features:
- Overpriced poor qualityej72Dined on 9/6/2014I'll stick to the facts and leave my opinions out: Cheese curds appetizer was very good, the highlight of the meal. It was not busy at all and it took nearly 40 minutes for our entrees to arrive. I had the "spicy burger" which had one small slice of tomato, three jalapeno slices, mayo, and cheese. The bun looked like it came from Mcdonalds. With fries the price was $11. Wife had the Ribs. She received 5 ribs which were spicy and full of connective tissue and fat. With cole slaw the price was $24. Waiter did not stop at our table between taking orders and asking about dessert (another server delivered the food). Will not be returning, so many better options out there.
- Great Dinner Experience1stTimeDinersDined on 9/5/2014Loved the decor, fantastic service and the food was delicious. We will without a doubt be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Meh.OpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 9/4/2014Appetizers and drinks were good. Dinner was gross. Won't be back.Special Features:
- Home right at Hom.IndustryDivaDined on 9/3/2014We had a rather late reservation the night we visited. We waited a while for our server, but once she greeted us, the service was great! Since we had never been, she gave us an extensive history of the restaurant and wow-ed us with her knowledge of the menu. We ordered both the traditional Mac and Cheese and the special of the evening- Ribeye with 3 grilled shrimp-- Seasoned and cooked perfectly. My Mac and Cheese was so creamy and flavorful- I stopped early to take it home and to take part in the makeshift s'mores dessert. I grew up in the great state of Wisconsin, and it was so wonderful to see so many of my near-hometown favorite ingredients utilized so wonderfully. We WILL be back.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/31/2014We have been to Hom several times and for the most part it is always enjoyable. Sunday night we had brought friends with us who had not been there before. The waitress was very annoying.....even tho we asked for some time.....she kept coming back. Food which in the past we have thought very good.....was marginal. My walleye pike was over breaded and overcooked.
- Fantastic locally sourced mealwestmke414Dined on 8/29/2014Had a bone-in pork chop wrapped in pastrami, glazed with spicy mustard and plated with spaetzle with a gouda sauce. It was fabulous! Should have got one to go for lunch the next day! Great selection of local micro brews and I believe HOM does their best to locally source as much of the menu as possible. Great concept to be sure. Highly recommend this gem of a restaurant from the SURG group!Special Features:
- Great local foodbrookfieldmomDined on 8/22/2014Pretty darn good. Went for the fish fry and was pleasantly surprised with the quality of food. Good selection on wine list. Waitress was very accommodating when asked to turn down music. However, ask for a table away from the kids.Special Features:
- Great service & recommendationsLisaDined on 8/16/2014Our waitress was the only person working the patio when we went. She had about 8 tables and did a great job with everyone. She took the time to explain what Hom's mission was and tell us about some great food options. We both chose one of her recommendations and were both very happy with them. She made out experience great.Special Features:
- Just like HomHammerDined on 8/16/2014My family dined at Hom recently and all loved their meals, especially my "Pot Roast" dinner which was so tender and flavorful it remind me of home cooking mom would make. Excellent job! No wonder you called it Hom!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great new menudrumstickDined on 8/16/2014We picked a great evening to sit outside on the patio facing Bluemound rd, service was great and the food was outstanding. We had 2 couples and we all ordered a fish entree - I had the salmon (my wife had the Walleye) - we shared and both were very good. The salmon comes with a tangy barbecue sauce that was excellent. We weren't sure what "hobo potatoes" were but they turned out to be great. The broccoli was really good - I am guessing it was blanched because it was the perfect combo of crisp and not over cooked. We will be back soon to try some of the other menu items - it looks like a lot of unique options. I would highly recommend this restaurant if you are looking for something a little different.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- FabulousLynnDinesWIDined on 8/16/2014We loved it -- We did not have a lot of time so we just ordered salads and appetizers. The Shrimp and Grits and Dry Rub Chicken Wings were out of this world good. We will go back for them and try more dishes as well.Special Features:
- JRPMDVIPDined on 8/15/2014We went for the Friday fish fry and it was great. The fish was beer-battered and was nice and crispy. We liked the chopped salad a lot. Our waitperson was friendly and energetic and took good care of us.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wisconsiin at It's BestExperiencedDinerVIPDined on 8/13/2014I was born and raised in Wisconsin, and discovered Hom while browsing dinner possibilities on Open Table. We were not disappointed with the food selections -- all well prepared. We especially enjoyed the beer battered cheese curds and potato pancake. The beef stroganoff was memorable (we liked the added dill). The planked salmon, while not likely from Wisconsin, was delicious with the light addition of tomato sauce. We will be returning to Wisconsin frequently in the coming months, and will place Hom on our preferred dining list.Special Features:
- PeteyDined on 8/12/2014The food is great, especially the Clock Shadow cheese curds and the beef stroganoff. Both locations do an excellent job.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Met ExpectationsSquirtDined on 8/11/2014Bar specials great and dinner was a nice way to celebrate friends' 20th wedding anniversary.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 8/10/2014Recently our family gathered to celebrate a retirement dinner for my husband. Hom gave us a special table that allowed us to talk with each other, including occasions to stand up and make speeches about our honored guest. Everyone loved their food choices from our vegetarians to the steak lovers. The staff was attentive making sure each guest had beverages and meals made to their satisfaction. Our server graciously took pictures so all of us could remember this special evening. I wish I could relive this wonderful night over again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- PinkyDined on 8/8/2014My only complaint was that I thought the wine list was a bit too high.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Farm to tableFoodiesDined on 8/2/2014Hom is doing the farm to table, in fact they own a farm. The menu changes from online, so what we had in mind to eat was no longer available, but the selections they had were very impressive. All of our meals were very excellent in taste and presentation. Plenty of food for a moderate price. The place seemed pretty popular, but we never felt rushed.Special Features:
- Great findlastminuteDined on 8/1/2014The Shrimp and Grits are a must. We all agreed we could eat them as an app and as our meal. Pork chop& Pot Roast were fabulous. My friend wanted a little more sauce on the Walleye for the veggies. Salmon was tasty. Desserts amazing get the bread pudding.Special Features:
- Alternative to chains in BrookfieldOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 7/31/2014Amazing cheese curds! Burgers done properly! I like the locally sourced food concept. It was nice to be able to reserve a table outside, the patio set up did a decent job of blocking out a busy street behind us. The server was ok... I did appreciate that the manager stopped by, however it was a pretty surface-level check in. I did not appreciate the many minute monotone speech on the history of the concept. If you're passionate, I'll listen. If you've memorized a script, I tune out (which we both did, and clearly portrayed thru non verbals). When all is said and done, I will return. I would much rather patronize a Milwaukee restaurant group with locally sourced food than a national chain. (which is difficult to find in Brookfield!)Special Features:
- Good placeOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/29/2014I hosted a small business gathering at HoM. Service was excellent. Food was very good. Expections met and exceeded.Special Features:
- Okay experience.foodieDined on 7/26/2014Two of us had the petit filet - both were great. One of us ordered the Tator Tot casserole - they first delivered the green bean casserole by mistake. They delivered the correct meal when the two of us were half way done with our meal - the person eating the casserole said it was too soggy. The tator tots were soggy and there was too much sauce - she didn't care for it. The server offered an apology for the incorrect item being served, but no other discount or free drink or dessert was offered.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- RoostarDined on 7/19/2014Went there with 7 family members. The food was great......not only tasted good but good to know they use local ingredients when they can. The service was good too. Will definitely go backSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very nice fare - fair dealAndyDined on 7/18/2014Local sourced - gourmet flavor. We loved every course of our meal. You really can't go wrong with this kind of menu and talented chef's. Best of all the wait staff and management go above and beyond when every they can.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/18/2014they had a new menu. no more corn bread before meal which they no longer serve with new menu. they messed up on 2 of our dinners. wasn't what we ordered. will not go back. this was our 2nd time, as our first time we had great food and service. Bring back old menu and corn bread and i will come back.
- enjoy every visitbesttorontoVIPDined on 7/18/2014Fish has been fantastic every visit, although the recent menu change had one miss we thought. The walleye was delicate under the breading...breading way too heavy to enjoy the fish. But the trout was delicious and light with its orange marmalade sauce. The caesar salad was prepared traditionally with a hint of anchovy saltiness. The cheese tray had a great variety and the tator tots were yummy thanks to what i believe was gouda snuck in. Desserts are a bit of a miss, but you wont really want one after your outstanding meal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- StacytDined on 7/18/2014It was alright, we both had the fish fry. The fish had very little flavor. The potato pancakes were a little much but I did like the compote. We had the cheese curds for the appetizer and the tater tots and they were good.
- WI Locavore ExperienceWineandfoodloverDined on 7/11/2014Hom is a relatively new addition to the growing Locavore movement in SE Wisconsin, specializing in the freshest ingredients for regional sources (many identified on the menu). Upon entering, you are greeted by re-sourced wood and a rolling door in the reception area/bar. There are rural pictures from WI on the walls, and the impression is comfortable and homey. The food is creative and very tasty, with vegetarian and gluten-free options available. I had a pureed spinach/red pepper appetizer under puff pastry that was excellent, and the stuffed pepper (onions, mushrooms, cream sauce) on a bed of spicy barley was superb. They have a small but very well-chosen wine list (I especially liked the Sanford pinot noir). Definitely seek it out!Special Features:
- Loved the food and serviceMishaDined on 7/9/2014We stopped by expecting beer and bar food and found several creative meal choices a locus craft beer selection and a server who really knew her stuff. I was visiting the area but have a lot of friends that live there. I will send them Hom!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Give it a B - will try againJillybeanDined on 7/9/2014Nice summer night out with the girls and we dined on the patio. Food was good. My risotto was the weakest dish. It was a chef special and I thought very bland with a white fish that was tasteless. Other meals were great. But, what annoyed us all were the amount of flies around the patio. It was a small patio surrounded by nice decorative planters and flowers. I thought that they should have been able to do some preventative gardening to spray and manage. Summer is too short to dine inside when outside it is 80. Will give it another try.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Hom with friendsdiningoutDined on 7/5/2014Went to Hom with my sister and 2 cousins. 1 of which was a real foodie. I had the caesar salad which was good but aside from the homemade dressing nothing unusual. My entree was the duck. This was cooked exquisitely and paired well with spinach and pureed celery root. Everyone else enjoyed their meal as much as I did. The bill for 6 people with drinks and appetizers was just about $300. So very reasonable.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wish #12 and #8 still owned itRuthZDined on 7/5/2014The people were great, friendly, prompt service. I love the outdoor patio idea, but it is so close to Bluemound Rd. that it can be noisy. The restaurant offers a great selection of wine and special cocktails. The food is the real issue, though. First, it is an expensive and limited ala carte menu. My husband's whitefish tasted more like smoked chub. The chicken in the entree I ordered was good enough, but it was served on a bed of some "fancy stuff" I can't pronounce and didn't care to eat. It was mushy, and I think it detracted from the taste rather than enhanced it. This isn't a fancy restaurant by style and atmosphere. It is comfortable and rustic, but it seems it is trying too hard NOT to be 8-12. That's the mistake.Special Features:
- Special OccassionsWellDoneDined on 6/30/2014If your looking to do something special as I did this past week and come away extremely happy please go to HOM. The Staff was great and the Manager really cared about the quality of service we where recieving at our table. (Attention to detail makes you feel important )I started the night with a special bottle of Red Wine to go with my scallops as a appetizer and it was perfect. I chose the steak filet.(Awesome) my party order the lamb chops and said they were extremey satisfied. Was this CHEF on TV? Talk about the layout and presentation of the food was fantasctic. I knew it wasnt the booze that made me feel good about the food because when I had the desert (Fudge Brownie) it blew me away. A great time at a great place to call HOM e.Special Features:
- Excellent!larryb0412Dined on 6/20/2014We have dined at Hom on several occasions and we have enjoyed the service and food every time. The food choices are interesting, tasty, and the presentation is very attractive. We have been especially impressed by the servers who have taken care of us...friendly, knowledgeable, and informative. We also like the fact that Hom uses locally - sourced food ingredients. We highly recommend Hom as a reasonably priced dining option.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The following 896 reviews are from the Hom reviews archive.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/3/2014Overall the food was good. I had the Pasta Special which was a Spinach Fettucini w/sauteed veggies & grilled shrimp. It was good but a bit too salty. Shrimp was excellent but the dish could have used some more veggies; pieces were very small and not very abundant. The Broccoli soup was good - very rich - but a bit bland. Service was outstanding and the outside patio was very pleasantSpecial Features:
- Great ChoicestkroeDined on 5/31/2014Nice cheese and charcuterie for appetizer. The salmon was delicious!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- give it a trybrkfld1Dined on 5/31/2014My husband & I have eaten at Hom 3 times now, and each time was sooo good. We had a Fri. fish fry, and the 2 for $29.95 trout dinner that is so delicious I don't know if I will get to the rest of the menu. Wait staff is very friendly & efficient, just the right amount of attention. This will be our go to place close to home. Servings are just the right size.Special Features:

Research Summary
My research program focuses on the development of food and flavor preferences in humans and the effects of alcohol and tobacco on women's health and infant development. Current research studies focus on the following areas: 1) how maternal diet alters the aromatic profiles of amniotic fluid and mother's milk and how such early flavor experiences affect food preferences during weaning and childhood; 2) elucidation of sensitive periods in flavor learning and food preferences in humans; 3) developing strategies to promote acceptance of fruits and vegetables in infants and children; 4) studying the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of alcohol in women; 5) determining the effects of alcohol consumption on hormonal responses and lactational performance; 6) studying the relationship between family history of alcoholism, tobacco use and taste preferences across the lifespan; 7) learning how parental drinking and smoking impact on the hedonic response to the sensory properties of these drugs during childhood and adolescence; and 8) elucidating the contribution of genes, experience and medical history to individual differences in taste and smell sensitivity and preferences.

Santorum's Greatest Hits:
@2 years ago with 174 notes
- His shock-and-awwwwwww campaign against abusive puppy mills.

The character of George Washington
by Richard Brookhiser
More Articles of Interest
This leads me to a final point about Washington's character, which is that it is unfinished, and I think that is by design. Washington made a bet with his life that the American people could bear the burden and responsibility of living in freedom. That bet is on the table for every generation. The completion of Washington's character, then, always rests with us.
Richard Brookhiser is a senior editor at National Review, columnist for the New York Observer, and frequent contributor to American Heritage and The New York Times Book Review. His several books include Gentleman Revolutionary: Gouverneur Morris--The Rake Who Wrote the Constitution and Founding Father: Rediscovering George Washington. He wrote and hosted a documentary, "Rediscovering George Washington," which originally aired on PBS. This article is adapted from a speech delivered at the dedication of a statue of George Washington on the Hillsdale (Mich.) College campus; transcript provided by Imprimis.
