What a way to end the week! Yesterday, it took 2277 shares to be a "Quillionaire", but today that number has dropped 79 shares to 2198 shares. If you had bought 550 shares at the IPO, you would be a "Quillionaire" today! " I am purple, carry a purse, have a triangle on my head, ," says "Tinky Winky", our newest Quillionaire, but if this keeps up, I will be as rich as Jerry Falwell

OT OT ADHD - Greg - I've seen a number of instances where an 8 y/o child carries a diagnosis of ADHD; however, upon probing family background I discover (sometimes) the following: Significant marital distress in the parents, frequent moves which destabilize, molest, incense, or another form of trauma. The article you note looks promising; however, there are some significant limitations to the study, not the least of which is cell size. An experiemental group of only six would usually not even be published - perhaps someone knows someone, or possibly because of the high profile ADHD has, the study was published anyway. Another question, I would have is how were the six selected for the study and how was the ADHD diagnosis arrived at for those six. Disclaimer: I beleive ADHD exists. I believe it's over-diagnosed and over medicated, for a couple of very simple, economic reasons: First, many insurance companies will not re-imburse for childhood behavioral disorders (the only other "labels" which fit the symptoms) but will for ADHD. Second, parents (unfortunately) often would rather change/medicate the child than examine their own contributions to the symtpoms. Again, I do believe ADHD exists; however, much less than at 3-5%.
