| New Guidelines Proposed for Preschoolers on Antidepressants
With the number of preschool-age children being prescribed stimulants, antidepressants and other psychiatric drugs on the rise, a group of researchers has suggested a standardized approach to treatment. Child mental health professionals from Bradley Hasbro Children's Research Center in Rhode Island and 11 other institutions have developed recommendations for specific disorders to help clinicians who are considering medications for children ages 3 to 6. The guidelines are published in the December issue of the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry.

A year later, artist in Boston marketing stunt embraces notoriety
Nevertheless, Berdovsky said he is still struggling financially, and he works at a studio inside a beat-up industrial building in Charlestown that is afflicted with bedbugs, bad pipes and noise from woodworking shops.
He said his expensive video and audio equipment was bought on credit, and he may have to sell some of it to pay the bills.
Richard Rinehart, the Berkeley museum's digital art curator, said 500 people show up the night Berdovsky was there, "and they were all enraptured by his performance."
Rinehart said he hired Berdovsky on a recommendation from another artist, not because of his Aqua Teen infamy. Not that that would have hurt.
"That kind of political mischievousness plays well at Berkeley," Rinehart said. More articles Copyright 2007 Associated Press.
Mercedes-Benz 300SL
Most of the successful road racers of the era used a live axle or DeDion set-up. Not Mercedes-Benz.The rear suspension the Mercedes-Benz engineers designed wasn't particularly sophisticated in modern terms. In fact, it was in some ways similar to the suspension that got the Chevrolet Corvair in so much trouble with Ralph Nader in the 1960's. It used swing axles, located by trailing arms, with coils as the springing medium. But this was in 1952, not 1964, and these were racing cars, so the rear suspension proved to be a handling boon. Wearing simple nomenclature and simple aluminum bodies, a team of 300SLs was prepared for the 1952 sports racing season. (300 stood for the model from which it was derived and SL connoted Sport Leicht.) Right out of the box the car took a second at the Mille Miglia, falling to a Ferrari on that marque's home turf.
Conservation In Action
Parents as long as Chris and I live, we will be with your kids in sports and school. I love working with youths and feel by working with them I can be a positive influence on them. I don�t want them to go astray, get caught up in drugs, get into gang relations or drop out of school. (Placencia Strikas......Photo by Juan Caducio) Parents I know it is not easy to work with kids or youths but you have got to be strong, don�t give up on them, listen to them, ask them how you can help, spend time with them, ask them if they have any home-work, go to school and check on them, find out who your kids friends are, I�m not saying that your kid will do what they will do, but you will know if that friend or friends wants good for your kid. Parents if you aren�t there for them who will? I know that I will be there for them as long as I live, I love sports, football, basketball, and track and field was my thing.
Pitcher eyed by Phils has a wild wife
Local wags will wonder if the Phillies are ready for this. Even if they did once call their squad of ball girls the Hot Pants Patrol. OK, one more answer from her Q&A. "Weren't you a stripper?" "Yes. After divorcing my ex-husband, I was a single mom who had no education. So, instead of sitting on my fat ass and collecting welfare, I decided to lie in the bed that I had made for myself and do whatever it took to take care of myself and my child. It is not something that I like to brag about, but it is definitely something that I am proud of." Contact staff writer Peter Mucha at 215-854-4342 or pmucha@phillynews.com. .

Seek condo board’s help with repairs
Her remarkable slimness was said to be the result of a lifetime of anorexia, and the eating disorder reportedly caused her to age prematurely. For example, it’s said she wore only high-necked and long-sleeved outfits in “White Christmas” because the skin on her neck and arms looked old. In 1954, she married a millionaire — one of the Rothschilds. But in 1963, her only child died as an infant and, in 1966, her marriage ended in divorce. She later developed severe arthritis. Vera Ellen lived as a virtual recluse until her death from cancer in 1981. She was 60. .
