Chris Christie. As the press reported, the court ordered instead that an extra $500 million in state funds be allocated to some of the state’s poorest-performing school districts — the so-called Abbott districts, named after the three-decade-running New Jersey school finance litigation, Abbott v. Burke. It’s too bad the editorial said nothing about the report five years ago in which one leading newspaper surveyed the wreckage done by the then-25-year-old litigation, which it called an “ambitious court-ordered social experiment.” (At that point, $35 billion in state tax mon...

Three Republicans plus Max Baucus (D-MT) were absent, while Orrin Hatch (R-UT) voted present because of his previous strong position against filibusters. This is the first judicial nominee filibustered since the Gang of 14 brokered an agreement on President Bush’s nominees in 2005, forestalling then-Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist’s use of the so-called nuclear option (changing Senate rules to eliminate the judicial filibuster).  That agreement, to the extent it&#821...

Or viewed an ad for a green cleaning product that made you fearful that using a chemical product would harm your kids? Or just think of any product — diet food, skin care, insurance company, car, medication — that features celebrity testimonials or the words of other consumers who’ve achieved “incredible results.” For these common advertising ploys, you can thank John B. Watson, the founder of behaviorism here in America. After getting fired from his academic post at Johns Hopkins, Watson began working for one of the biggest advertising agencies in New York City, J. Walter Thompson. (He was dismissed for his scandalous divorce. Short story: He fell in lo...

While we may like to think that we live in an increasingly gender-neutral world, where children of both sexes are raised to ignore limiting stereotypes, that may not be the case. At least not yet. When presented with a selection of toys, baby boys in the study ignored the dolls and went for the trucks and balls. Baby girls in the sample group grabbed the dolls and plastic food. The research went further, testing the traditional boy/girl color divide of blue and pink. Baby boys were shown a blue teddy bear and pink one. That experiment produced inconclusive results, as the boys showed no interest in the te...

Liu’s confirmation would compromise the judiciary’s check on legislative overreach and push the courts not only to ratify such constitutional abominations as the individual health insurance mandate but to establish socialized health care as a legal mandate itself. Yesterday Cato legal associate Evan Turgeon and I published an op-ed on the Liu nomination in the Daily Caller.  Here are some highlights: While Liu purports to develop an original approach [to constitutional interpretation], his nuanced methodology fails to generate a novel result.

It was difficult to narrow the list to just ten (and some more faves we want to mention), but here are our picks for the top blogs written by people who have been diagnosed with a bipolar disorder. 1. The Secret Life of a Manic Depressive Do’s and Don’ts for the Mentally Interesting was a BBC Radio play based on Seaneen’s blog produced last May and just nominated for a Mind Mental Health Media Award. Always a compelling and honest read, it was no fluke or sympathy vote that caused us to place this blog near the top of our list last year - it deserves many accolades. Well done. 2.

He certainly is that. But I made an error by writing that he had resigned as vice president of the World Federation of Right to Die Societies. As far as I know he didn't. He resigned as head of the Final Exit Network. That means he is still in line to be the World Federation's president starting in 2010. Mea culpa.

Toward this end, some assisted suicide promoters have labeled them, "The Georgia Four." Meanwhile, the Board of Directors of the World Federation of Right to Die Societies has issued the following statement, demonstrating that the movement does not want to limit assisted suicide to the terminally ill:The Board of the World Federation of Right-to-Die Societies is very concerned by the recent arrest in Georgia of its Vice Chairman, Ted Goodwin, and others.

But this aspect of the story really caught my attention. SHSers will recall that I mentioned the book A Chosen Death in a previous post, and how its author Lonny Shavelson watched a Hemlock operative kill "Gene" by preventing him from tearing off a plastic bag she had put over his head.Well now, it appears that the FEN activists may have done the very same thing! From the story:At the Dawson County residence on Wednesday, [Ted] Goodwin [head of FEN and vice president of the World Federation of the Right to Die Societies] allegedly walked the undercover agent through the steps and demonstrated how he would hold the agent's hands to stop him from removing the exit bag, Bankhead said.The GBI said that after the death occurs,...

One of the four is Ted Goodwin, who is the head of the FEN. Goodwin has been a stalwart in the movement for many years, to the point that in 2008 he was elected vice president of the World Federation of Right to Die Societies, the international umbrella organization to which most euthanasia/assisted suicide organizations belong. That means, had he not resigned just ahead of his arrest, he would have almost surely been elevated to the chair of president in 2010.The World Federation of Right to Die Societies doesn't advocate for restricting assisted suicide to the terminally ill.

Of course, the biggest news of the year — the historic election of Barack Obama — is not directly related to mental health but worthy of note. His policies and appointments over the next four years are likely to make a substantial impact in funding and policies in American healthcare (and mental health care).

The Infinite Mind was called on the carpet earlier this year for what was largely a biased program emphasizing that there was little evidence linking suicidality to antidepressants (contrary to what the actual research shows). Undisclosed to listeners of the March 2008 broadcast (Prozac Nation: Revisited) was that all four of the commentators — including Dr. Goodwin himself — received funding from the very same pharmaceutical companies whose products they were defending.

Earlier this year, an episode of his program, “The Infinite Mind,” which was heard on 300 NPR stations, featured three experts who discussed the controversial link between antidepressants and suicide. All of them, plus Goodwin, declared that worries about the drugs have been overblown. Yet the trio’s ties to pharma were never disclosed. Then, 10 days ago, Chuck Grassley, the ranking Republican on the US Senate Finance Committee, revealed that Goodwin, a former director of the National Institute of Mental Health, also has substantial ties to several drugmakers. Since 2000, Glaxo, for instance, paid him more than $1.2 million in speaking fees and over $100,000 in expenses. The story, w...

Among the many services that have been offered by the firm - marketing consultations to drugmakers and the “dissemination of new off-label information.” Doctors can prescribe a drug to treat an illness even if the FDA has not approved that use, but promotion of off-label activity is a big no-no. So in a letter sent today to Roger Meyer, who heads the firm (pictured right), Grassley wants to know more about Best Practice’s questionable practices.

The show is hosted by Dr. Fred Goodwin, a former director of the National Institute of Mental Health. In question was a program devoted to discussing the link between antidepressants and suicide — a link that has been all but accepted now by mainstream researchers and clinicians. But in a bias not disclosed during the program, all four of the experts on the program, including Goodwin himself, have financial ties to the makers of antidepressants. That information was never told to listeners during the program and only finally disclosed because of Slate’s reporting. Naturally, such a report caught the eye of Sen. Grassley...

But there was a catch: Goodwin never pointed out that all three guests had ties to pharma, or that the show received “unrestricted” from drugmakers, including Lilly, which sells Prozac and Cymbalta.
