DR.SOUTHALL STRUCK OFF MEDICAL REGISTER
2007-12-05 16:09:00 http://tinyurl.com/2tdgf6Dr.Southall struck off Medical Register This is London.co.uk– Dec 5, 2007The doctor who destroyed families: Southall struck off for accusing parents of killing their childrenPaediatrician David Southall was yesterday struck off the medical register after twice accusing parents of murdering their children. He claimed one mother drugged and hanged her ten-year-old son with a belt, and he infamously interfered in the case of solicitor Sally Clark, accusing her husband of killing their two sons on the strength of a television documentary.Yesterday his high-flying career was in ruins after he was barred from medical practice with immediate effect, and castigated for his complete failure to apologise and his "deep-seated attitudinal problems"."Your misconduct is so serious that it is fundamentally incompatible with your continuing to be a registered medical practitioner," said Dr Jacqueline Mitton, chairman of the General Medical Council's Fitness to Practise P...
STAPH GERM UNDERMINES BODY'S DEFENCES
2007-11-19 17:55:00 http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/S/ST APH_INFECTIONS?SITE=FLDAY&SECTION=HOM E&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT STAPH GERM UNDERMINES BODY’S DEFENCES Associated PressBy RANDOLPH E. SCHMID– AP Science Writer- Nov 11, 2:30 PMWASHINGTON (AP) -- The aggressive antibiotic-resistant staph infection responsible for thousands of recent illnesses undermines the body's defenses by causing germ-fighting cells to explode, researchers reported Sunday. Experts say the findings may help lead to better treatments.An estimated 90,000 people in the United States fall ill each year from methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA. It is not clear how many die from the infection; one estimate put it at more than 18,000, which would be slightly higher than U.S. deaths from AIDS.The infection long has been associated with health care facilities, where it attacks people with reduced immune systems. But many recent cases involve an aggressive strain, community-associated MRSA, or CA-MRSA. It can cau... More About: Germ
Drug-Resistant Staph Deaths May Pass AIDS
2007-11-12 14:18:00 http://tinyurl.com/2tdgf6Drug -Resistant Staph Deaths May Pass AIDS Associated PressBy LINDSEY TANNER – Oct 16, 2007CHICAGO (AP) — More than 90,000 Americans get potentially deadly infections each year from a drug-resistant staph "superbug," the government reported Tuesday in its first overall estimate of invasive disease caused by the germ.Deaths tied to these infections may exceed those caused by AIDS, said one public health expert commenting on the new study. The report shows just how far one form of the staph germ has spread beyond its traditional hospital setting.The overall incidence rate was about 32 invasive infections per 100,000 people. That's an "astounding" figure, said an editorial in Wednesday's Journal of the American Medical Association, which published the study.Most drug-resistant staph cases are mild skin infections. But this study focused on invasive infections — those that enter the bloodstream or destroy flesh and can turn deadly.Researchers found that o... More About: Aids
Two UK terror bombers enquired into US jobs
2007-07-06 20:53:00 Customwire.AP.orgLONDON (AP)Two suspects in the failed car bombings in Britain made inquiries about working in the United States, the FBI said Friday. Mohammed Asha and another suspect had contacted the Philadelphia-based Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates, as first reported in The Philadelphia Inquirer. Asha, a Jordanian physician of Palestinian heritage, contacted the agency within the last year, but apparently did not take the test for foreign medical school graduates.I wonder which US questions were so off-putting to a terroristthat were not contained in NHS vetting.1) Are you a total moron?

Sir Roy Meadow, Sally Clark and Angela Cannings
2007-06-21 16:34:00 One tabloid has described Roy Mead ow as"The child-snatcher-in-chief""In retrospect, the signs were there - that Roy would go too far," said Gillian Paterson, Sir Roy’s former wife, and the mother of his two adult children.“He found it everywhere. He was over the top. He saw mothers with Munchausen’s syndrome by proxy wherever he looked.”"I wish that somebody could have said to him: ‘Roy, they’re not everywhere. They do exist, but they’re rare’. I wish somebody could have stopped him."“I can’t go into details, but I’m sure he has a serious problem with women."Angela Cannings said the prison system had destroyed her family bonds and they had found it impossible to rebuild. The severance of the Cannings family on the say-so of one misguided expert witness meant that Jade became much closer to her father than her mother and she suffered from a condition called "separation anxiety".Sall y Clark said that, after her release from prison, she felt uncomfortable joining ...

Sally Clark and Angela Cannings
2007-06-21 12:32:00 I received this message in my comments section today, but I feel it should be a top-post because it is a direct consequence of the malignant opinions of 'Professor' Roy Meadow.Angela Cannings has announced recently that she is to separate from her husband and daughter in order to make a fresh start in lifeTHIS IS JUST A SAMPLE OF TODAYS PRESS CUTTINGSI hope that Prof Meadow realises what a devastating effect his 'expertise' has had on innocent people's lives.Professor Meadow has a lot to answer for.Nothing can compensate the Cannings family for what they have been forced to endure. Angela and her husband have been to hell and back and are still paying the price. The toll on their relationship is too huge for any of us to imagine.I wonder how professor Meadow sleeps at night after all the human misery he has caused.Amazing how many lives can be destroyed by one man's stupidity and incompetence.

Generating Hype Waves and Computer Statistics

NaisbittInformation Fusion is about fusing information from different sources in order to facilitate our understanding of a complex system, thereby providing insights that could not be gained from any of the individual data sources in isolation.It would appear that the baying crowd needs a showdown between two major players and the players respond provocatively with ever increasing fervour, which is matched by an increasing traffic spike, but only whilst the players are feeding the frenzied onlookers. Observers click in regularly to check on progress, thereby adding to the overall numbers. If one player looks to be the overall winner and the other backs off, the traffic statistics reflect this development and drop back to their original low levels.The resultant stats do not represent a logical section of society.

Rebecca Riley, 4, Casualty of Psychiatric “Treatment”
2007-06-03 21:45:00 ahrp.blogspotrebecca-rileyBoston_NewsThe Boston Globe reports on the drug-induced death of 4-year-old Rebecca Riley who had been “diagnosed” as suffering from both ADHD and Bipolar Disorder at the tender age of 28 months. She was prescribed three powerful psychotropic drugs whose toxic effects have never been shown to be safe or appropriate. Her two older siblings were likewise “diagnosed” and prescribed the same drug regimen by a licensed child psychiatrist at Tufts New England Medical Center.In the final months of Rebecca Riley's life, a school nurse said the little girl was so weak she was like a "floppy doll."The pre-school principal had to help Rebecca off the bus because she was shaking so badly.Should children so young be prescribed powerful psychotropic drugs meant for adults?

SALLY CLARK DIED of Natural Causes
2007-05-30 17:56:00 This is a duplicate post outlining the claims made by the blogger Professor Hamblin that Sally Clark was guilty of killing her children so she committed suicide. The blogger purporting to be Professor Terry Hamblin has been spamming my blog. The imposter is an Internet Marketer.http://jkn.com/View?j=784939.998 232583196Sally Clark, the mother who was imprisoned for 3 years for killing her two infant sons, but later released following a campaign to discredit the medical witness against her, has died under suspicious circumstances. News outlets are hinting at suicide and that she was known to have had an alcohol problem and to have been a depressive. So far response in the correspondence columns of the major newspapers has been that the ordeal of unjust imprisonment had driven her to it.I wonder. Perhaps she was possessed by guilt that she really had killed her kids and remorse that she had brought down two eminent professors of paediatrics in getting the decision reversed.I have not f...

He later reinforced his claims, stating it was "beyond reasonable doubt" that Mr. Clark was a double murderer. Prof Southall recommended that the couple's surviving child, who was at the time being looked after by Mr Clark, be removed from his care.

Otters holding Hands
2007-04-09 21:30:00 Sea otters sleep at sea, floating around, holding hands as a means of keeping the group together on the ocean surface while floating above the kelp beds that otters feed in. They wrap themselves in the kelp plants to keep themselves stationary and the hand holding keeps bonded mates or family members together while drifting in the ocean swells and currents. It is an acquired behaviour stemming from the otters’ lifestyle at sea. It is also an affectionate stance in nature as it is a means of keeping close to those individuals that are most important to each otter. Otters feel more comfortable holding hands while asleep than drifting alone, so it serves both social and practical purposes. More About: Hands , Holding
