Compassion Extended to Many Victims: Newtown, Connecticut
There are many victims as the result of the unexplainable tragic violence toward the children and teachers at Sandy Hook Elementary School by Adam Lanza. I am one of millions of people who are emotionally affected by the event and in mourning. I extend compassion through prayer to the suffering parents, friends, and neighbors who lost the precious lives of children and their teachers in Newtown, Connecticut. Also, we must not forget Lanza’s mother Nancy who is also a victim. She is portrayed as a very positive mom who was focused on getting her sons what they needed and what they wanted.

FROM AUTHOR ALICE SHABECOFF: What’s really behind the increase in autism rates.
What’s really behind the increase in autism rates.
Alice Shabecoff
The just-released data on autism shows a count of 1 in 88 children, up from a rate of 1 in 110 three years ago and one in 150 five years ago. With each change, the response remains the same: Oh, that’s because of better detection and broader definitions.

Originally Aired Wed, 09/16/2009 - 11:00amWe had Dr. Carol Stott on the show today. Carol is the Science Editor for the Autism File magazine www.autismfile.com and we discussed the GMC hearing being held with regards to Dr. Andrew Wakefields competency hearings and we discussed the medical profession in general and their total lack of regard for true science. The main stream media and the breakdown of trus investigative journalism (and obvious conflicts of interests) was also discussed.
