Psychopathy and Antisocial Personality Disorder: A Case of Diagnostic Confusion 17 y
by Robert D. Hare, Ph.D.
A Secret Service agent recently asked if I was familiar with a 1992 FBI report that almost half of the killers of law enforcement officers met the criteria for antisocial personality. I replied that I had not seen the report but that the finding did not seem surprising or noteworthy to me. My comment was based on the assumption that the report had used antisocial personality as a synonym for antisocial personality disorder (ASPD), a category listed in the fourth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) and applicable to the majority of criminals.

while ignoring dangerous products from the U.S.
June 08, 2007
The Food and Drug Administration has been gleefully warning us about the dangers of China-made food and personal care products recently. Why gleefully? Because announcing the discovery of toxic chemicals in products made by other countries (especially a Communist country) allows the FDA to appear as if it’s protecting the public without having to tell the truth about the toxic chemicals found in American food and personal care products. Talking about the deadly chemicals and poisons used by American food and personal care product manufacturers is, of course, an activity ... read more Mouse Thief! 17 y

Preschoolers preferred the taste of burgers and fries when they came in McDonald's wrappers over the same food in plain wrapping, U.S. researchers said, suggesting fast-food marketing reaches the very young.

”Overwhelmingly, kids chose the one that they perceived was
from McDonald’s,” said obesity prevention expert Dr. Thomas Robinson of the
Stanford University School of Medicine, whose work appears in the Archives of
Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine.
While prior studies have looked at the impact of individual ads
on kids, Robinson and colleagues set out to study the overall influence of a
company’s brand -- based on everything from advertising to toy prem ... read more American Moms To Announce McDonald's as Healthy 17 y

June 21, 2007 ”I’m lovin’ it” is McDonald’s motto, but not everyone feels that way. The golden arches have lost a little bit of their shine over the past few years, taking hits from nutritionists, books like ”Fast Food Nation” and the documentary ”Supersize Me.”
In a bid to turn all that around, McDonald’s is looking to the power center of the American family: moms Six American moms will be going behind-the-scenes at McDonald’s restaurants, processing plants, orchards and test kitchens and sharing their experiences with the world via online journals.

Fight Over The North Pole 17 y
The North Pole is Ours, Not Russia's
By Cliff Kincaid | August 4, 2007
Rather than rely on U.S. military might, including Navy and Coast Guard ships, in order to safeguard U.S. rights in the Arctic, the State Department wants to depend on a 21-member U.N. commission dominated by countries who cannot be counted on to defend our interests.
The sensational headlines
say, “Russian Arctic Team Reaches North Pole.” But the U.S. was there
first―back in the early 1900s. America, not Russia, has a valid claim to the
North Pole.
The controversy is not
about a block of ice. Because arctic sea ice is melting, opening up new
passageways for ships, there is an opportunity to explore for natural
resources absolutely vital to the U.S. economy. Exploiting the seabed for
oil and gas and other resources could help free us from dependence on
foreign nations.
Yet, the U.S. State
Department wants to turn the whole matte ... read more Russian Mini-Submarine Reaches North Pole Seabed 17 y

A Russian mini-submarine reached the bottom of the Arctic Ocean under the North Pole on Thursday in a mission to back up Moscow’s claims to the region’s mineral riches. ”The Mir-1 submarine has successfully reached the bottom of the Arctic Ocean at a depth of 4,261 metres (13,980 feet),” the Vesti-24 television channel reported from the Akademik Fyodorov research ship leading the expedition.
The dive, which organisers say is the first to reach the ocean floor under the North Pole, aims to establish that a section of seabed passing through the ... read more Sungazing 17 y

After exhaustively compiling a list of the 237 reasons why people have sex, researchers found that young men and women get intimate for mostly the same motivations. It’s more about lust in the body than a love connection in the heart.
College-aged men and women agree on their top reasons for having sex — they were attracted to the person, they wanted to experience physical pleasure and ’’it feels good,’’ according to a peer-reviewed study in the August edition of Archives of sexua| Behavior. Twenty of the top 25 reasons given for having sex were the same for men and women.
