| ADD or Executive Dysfunction? Silly Buggers speak. The self inconsistency SCREAMS Raving Loonie 04:04:39 |
| | Executive Dysfunction?
Sure. ( Silly buggers ... )
Executive function is taken for granted.
What {{{{ i s }}}} ' executive function ' ? Oh. It's what isn't working when someone is being dysfunctional. <sarcasticon>
Let's get it on and describe the elusive 'Executive function', eh?
To begin, it is necessary to define a model of cognition.
Here is one ....
How does the mind work?
It's like thus ...
1) No thought is an isolated consideration unto itself.
2) Each person has a unique, habitual style of thought which is remarkably specific. ... a cognitive 'fingerprint'. .. wow.
How does cognition work? (Ignoring the second point for the moment ... )
A thought is more or less a momentary glimpse of reality. It's what a person perceives now, BANG, at this very fleeting second.
.. and that momentary experience .. that instant's realization of how things are is lost. A new minute; a new *momentary experience*.
Given that a person hops from one momentary glimpse of reality to the next ... minute by minute; hour by hour; ...
It ought to be evident that that's momentary experience of 'Realizing life to it's fullest' isn't a very precise or detailed item. Frankly, it's rather limited, crude, approximate, and hugely subjective.
Most of all, it's not very reliable.
A momentary thought is rather crappy stuff ( relatively speaking ... )
So what is really happening?
Duh. ...
It's not just that momentary limited realization of reality .... There is far, far , far more to cognition than the attentional focus . ( I want to scream. I live in a society of such stupid, silly buggers ... )
It's not just about that moment's passing thought/experience ...
It IS about taking that moments thought and putting context to it ...
It is about taking that moment's thought/experience and having an appreciation of how it is tied into .. how it is connected to an accumulating lifetime of momentary experiences.
A thought is not just a thought ... It's worth .. it's meaning .. it's significance is very deeply dependent of how the person appreciates that thought relative to cumulative experience of a life time.
There is more than attentional focus ... There is "How the focus of one's attention is related to a lifetime of experience and memories.
(To be continued ... )
P.S. Please give me a day or two before responding to this thread.
Cordially,
RL

| The awakening of the public and the coming overthrow of evil Jan Drew 09:12:31 |
| | http://www.newstarget.com/z019702.html
NewsTarget.com printable article Originally published July 20 2006 The awakening of the public and the coming overthrow of evil Many people recognize what's really happening in the world of health and medicine today: Increasing disease, unabated disease mongering, corporate exploitation of the people, environmental destruction, a decline in honest health journalism, skyrocketing health care costs, tens of millions of uninsured people and continued assaults on health freedom by the FDA and conventional medicine. These are just a few of the many challenges that concern the lucid, thinking people who now populate Internet blogs, chat rooms and websites. But along with these shared concerns, there is also emerging a consensus that our shared future does not have to follow the pattern of our recent past. Together, we can create positive change, and it all starts from the day-to-day grind of observing what's happening in the world, applying some critical thinking, and sharing our thoughts, ideas, concerns and solutions with others.
Each day that I have an opportunity to engage in this work, I feel deeply honored. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to humbly serve in this important role of taking part in a global paradigm shift that may yet allow us to find true freedom, health and prosperity. I also invite you to join this effort in any way that you are able: To become a blogger, a writer or a video commentator so that your voice may be heard and your ideas may encourage others to find their own voice.
Some people say we are trapped under a system of near-total control. But there are no prisons other than the ones we have agreed to impose upon ourselves and each other. All that is required for truly radical reform in health, politics or any area is the spread of a single, powerful idea that dismantles old limiting beliefs and unleashes new possibilities, new ways of thinking, and new solutions to our most pressing challenges.
We all depend on each other In times of great change, community is more important than ever. We must form alliances and organize ourselves to speak with a single, powerful voice. For my part, I'm forming important alliances with other positive influencers and leaders in complementary fields like environmental protection, sustainable farming, animal welfare, self improvement and renewable energy. Together, we can help bring genuine solutions to the forefront and challenge the outmoded thinking of the current global power brokers, replacing it with community-minded, holistic solutions that recognize the interdependency of all living beings and systems on this planet. All this isn't new-age hippie talk (not that there's anything wrong with that!), it's just blatant reality: We all depend on nature -- the soils, waterways, air, oceans, animals and microorganisms. We all depend on each other. And we cannot create a world of genuine abundance by fighting wars over natural resources, poisoning our children with psychotropic drugs, injecting toxic chemicals into the food supply, dripping fluoride into public waters, injecting babies with mercury-laced vaccines and drugging our population with harmful medications all while calling it "economic growth" because money happened to change hands.
There is no abundance to be found in selling each other increasingly expensive toxic chemicals to treat the degenerative diseases we have caused ourselves through the proliferation of similar toxic chemicals in the first place. We are fooling ourselves if we believe we can retire rich by investing in pharmaceutical company stocks, pushing fictitious diseases, enforcing a monopoly drug market and "treating" each other until we're all rich and dead. There is no true wealth without health, and there is no health without prevention -- a concept that remains utterly absent from the philosophy of modern medicine today, including virtually all the non-profit cancer groups and disease organizations.
Live together or die together We must find a better way to live together, or we will die together. And it doesn't matter whether you're a Republican, a Democrat, a Green Party advocate or a Libertarian. A toxic planet destroys us all just the same. Until we remove the toxic load from our foods, drugs, household cleaners, medications, cosmetics, personal care products and work environments, we will continue to die from preventable diseases and give birth to mutant babies who may never have the opportunity to experiencing a life free of disease. Pharmaceuticals will never, ever save us. No matter how many billions of dollars are poured into cancer research, there will never emerge a genuine solution unless we stop giving ourselves cancer in the first place. Cancer is caused by too many synthetic chemicals, yet the drug companies promise to treat it or cure it by developing even more synthetic chemicals. The intellectual ignorance found in this stubborn, outmoded approach is simply astonishing.
As Albert Einstein famously said, "We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them."
A time for real change is approaching There is hope, however, to be found in a new mode of thinking that's now beginning to take shape across the "awakened" members of the Internet community. It's a recognition that exciting changes are now possible, and that the forces of evil that have been acting upon us for so long -- destroying our health, our environment and our freedom -- are poised to be overthrown. We are all living it what may soon be viewed as a time of the most significant and rapid changes in recent human history. They will not be without difficulty, however, so be prepared for changes that may far exceed what you, or your parents, or even your grandparents ever witnessed.
Most importantly, stay engaged in the conversation. Stay informed. Independent news websites and blogs are now the only remaining sources of accurate information about what's really happening today. There are far too many to name, but I've listed a short selection of my favorites in the right column at www.NewsTarget.com
Be active in what's happening. Teach yourself to stay alert and be a critical thinker. Question what you are told, especially by those in positions of authority or apparent power. The bigger the organization from which any message emerges, the more likely it is to be corrupted by an ulterior motive (profit, public complacency, etc.) Trust the smaller, independent organizations like PR Watch, Commercial Alert, the Organic Consumers Association, the Government Accountability Project and others.
What you do is your own business, but if you want to be engaged in real solutions, turn off your television. Disconnect from cable and reconnect to books and informative Internet sites. Buy organic produce and avoid processed foods. Stop spending money on products made by unethical corporations. (Vote with your dollars.) Demand accountability from your elected officials and representatives (including Judges). Learn how to grow your own food, even if just a little. Get out of the city from time to time and reconnect with nature on a regular basis. Supplement with nutrients that enhance mental acuity, intelligence and presence of mind (I highly recommend supplements from the Life Extension Foundation at www.LEF.org). Practice a little yoga, Tai-Chi or Pilates. Train your body and your mind to be healthy and alert.
These are the things that make you a participant in life, rather than a spectator. These are a few of the things that ultimately help set you free. Stay alert, because you won't want to miss what's coming.

| Hurtin' Music ~~~~> "The Effect of Country Music on Suicide" Raving Loonie 08:25:47 |
| | " The Effect of Country Music on Suicide
STEVEN STACK, Wayne State University JIM GUNDLACH, Auburn University Abstract
This article assesses the link between country music and metropolitan suicide rates. Country music is hypothesized to nurture a suicidal mood through its concerns with problems common in the suicidal population, such as marital discord, alcohol abuse, and alienation from work. The results of a multiple regression analysis of 49 metropolitan areas show that the greater the airtime devoted to country music, the greater the white suicide rate. The effect is independent of divorce, southernness, poverty, and gun availability. The existence of a country music subculture is thought to reinforce the link between country music and suicide. Our model explains 51% of the variance in urban white suicide rates.
Sociological work on the relationship between art and society has been largely restricted to speculative, sociohistorical theories that are often mutually opposed. Some theorists see art as creating social structure ( Adorno 1973), while Sorokin ( 1937 ) suggests that society and art are manifested in cyclical autonomous ...
... In this article, we explore the link between a particular form of popular music (country music) and metropolitan suicide rates. We contend that the themes found in country music foster a suicidal mood among people already at risk of suicide and that it is thereby associated with a high suicide rate. The effect is buttressed by the country subculture and a link between this subculture and a racial status related to an increased suicide risk."

| Oxidative Stress / pathogenesis of autism Ironjustice@Aol.Com 05:22:23 |

doi:10.1016/j.pathophys.2006.05.007 Copyright В© 2006 Elsevier Ireland Ltd All rights reserved. Review Oxidative stress in autism
Abha Chauhan, a, and Ved Chauhana
aNYS Institute for Basic Research in Developmental Disabilities, 1050 Forest Hill Road, Staten Island, NY 10314, USA
Available online 12 June 2006. Abstract Autism is a severe developmental disorder with poorly understood etiology. Oxidative stress in autism has been studied at the membrane level and also by measuring products of lipid peroxidation, detoxifying agents (such as glutathione), and antioxidants involved in the defense system against reactive oxygen species (ROS). Lipid peroxidation markers are elevated in autism, indicating that oxidative stress is increased in this disease. Levels of major antioxidant serum proteins, namely transferrin (iron-binding protein) and ceruloplasmin (copper-binding protein), are decreased in children with autism. There is a positive correlation between reduced levels of these proteins and loss of previously acquired language skills in children with autism. The alterations in ceruloplasmin and transferrin levels may lead to abnormal iron and copper metabolism in autism. The membrane phospholipids, the prime target of ROS, are also altered in autism. The levels of phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) are decreased, and phosphatidylserine (PS) levels are increased in the erythrocyte membrane of children with autism as compared to their unaffected siblings. Several studies have suggested alterations in the activities of antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, and catalase in autism. Additionally, altered glutathione levels and homocysteine/methionine metabolism, increased inflammation, excitotoxicity, as well as mitochondrial and immune dysfunction have been suggested in autism. Furthermore, environmental and genetic factors may increase vulnerability to oxidative stress in autism. Taken together, these studies suggest increased oxidative stress in autism that may contribute to the development of this disease. A mechanism linking oxidative stress with membrane lipid abnormalities, inflammation, aberrant immune response, impaired energy metabolism and excitotoxicity, leading to clinical symptoms and pathogenesis of autism is proposed.

Increased excretion of a lipid peroxidation biomarker in autism.
Ming X, Stein TP, Brimacombe M, Johnson WG, Lambert GH, Wagner GC.
Department of Neurosciences, UMDNJ-New Jersey Medical School, 90 Bergen
Street, Suite 8100, Newark, NJ 07103, USA; Department of Pediatrics, Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, Center for Childhood Neurotoxicology and Exposure Assessment, New Brunswick, NJ, USA.
It is thought that autism could result from an interaction between genetic and environmental factors with oxidative stress as a potential mechanism linking the two. One genetic factor may be altered oxidative-reductive capacity. This study tested the hypothesis that children with autism have increased oxidative stress. We evaluated children with autism for the presence of two oxidative stress biomarkers. Urinary excretion of 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) and 8-isoprostane-F2alpha (8-iso-PGF2alpha) were determined in 33 children with autism and 29 healthy controls. 8-iso-PGF2alpha levels were significantly higher in children with autism. The isoprostane levels in autistic subjects were variable with a bimodal distribution. The majority of autistic subjects showed a moderate increase in isoprostane levels while a smaller group of autistic children showed dramatic increases in their isoprostane levels. There was a trend of an
increase in 8-OHdG levels in children with autism but it did not reach statistical significance. There was no significant correlation between the levels of the biomarkers and vitamin intake, dietary supplements, medicine, medical disorders, or history of regression. These results suggest that the lipid peroxidation biomarker is increased in this cohort of autistic children, especially in the subgroup of autistic children.

Excess dietary iron is the root cause for increase in childhood autism and allergies.
Padhye U.
2990 River Meadows, Canton, Michigan 48188, USA.
Autism is a profoundly and poorly understood developmental disorder that impairs a person's social and communication abilities. I propose a
hypothesis that the excessive dietary iron consumed by today's infants is the root cause of increased cases of Autism, allergies and other childhood diseases. Iron is a powerful immune system modulator. Excess iron causes hyperactive immune system. This hyperactive immune system attacks undigested food peptides. The chemicals released during these intense allergic reactions can damage surrounding tissue. Neurodegeneration is caused by combination of, oxidative stress induced
by free iron radicals and intense immune reactions. Iron chelators have
shown beneficial results in Autism and allergies.

| nescience <~~~ The agony of ADD is the nescience of society Raving Loonie 00:03:50 |
| | Word of the Day for Thursday July 20, 2006
nescience \NESH-uhn(t)s; NESH-ee-uhn(t)s\, noun: Lack of knowledge or awareness; ignorance.
The ancients understood that too much knowledge could actually impede human functioning -- this at a time when the encroachments on global nescience were comparatively few. -- Cullen Murphy, "DNA Fatigue", The Atlantic, November 1997
He fought on our behalf in the war that finally matters: against nescience, against inadvertence, against the supposition that anything is anything else. -- Hugh Kenner, "On the Centenary of James Joyce", New York Times, January 31, 1982
The notion has taken hold that every barometric fluctuation must demonstrate climate change. This anecdotal case for global warming is mostly nonsense, driven by nescience of a basic point, from statistics and probability, that the weather is always weird somewhere. -- Gregg Easterbrook, "Warming Up", The New Republic, November 8, 1999
Nescience is from Latin nescire, "not to know," from ne-, "not" + scire, "to know." It is related to science. Nescient is the adjective form.
