Judicial Council issues two decisions
By Neill Caldwell* April 29, 2004 | PITTSBURGH (UMNS)
The United Methodist Judicial Council issued rulings in the two cases on its docket as the church's highest court held its spring meeting at the site of the 2004 General Conference.
The council will continue to meet during General Conference and respond to requests from the legislative assembly as they arise. General Conference adjourns May 7.
In one April 29 decision, the council ruled that local pastors in the United Methodist Church do not lose the right to the supervisory process and a possible trial if their appointment is terminated, provided that they had received a written and signed complaint from their bishop or district superintendent. The request for a declaratory decision came from the California-Pacific Annual (regional) Conference.
In the second case, the council ruled that the Louisiana Annual Conference's structure and rules are still not in compliance with the denomination's Book of Discipline and previous Judicial Council decisions. This is the fourth time the council has ruled the Louisiana Conference's revised structure null and void.
In the California-Pacific case, a local pastor received a letter of termination from his district superintendent, citing chargeable offenses under Paragraph 2702.1 of the Book of Discipline. A clergy advocate of the terminated pastor regarded the letter of termination as a formal complaint, and asked the annual conference to request a decision from the Judicial Council as to whether the termination of an appointment ends a local pastor's right to due process.
The council ruled that once a complaint is filed, the right to fair process is not affected by any change in a pastor's appointment status. However, the local pastor must be informed of the process for filing the complaint and its purpose.
Four of the council's nine members signed a dissenting opinion, stating that the ruling dilutes the power of a bishop to discontinue a local pastor's appointment. The dissenters argued that termination of an appointment ends a local pastor's right to due process.
"The discontinuance of the appointment of a local pastor severs the conference ministerial relationship and the attendant fair process rights because that individual is no longer a local pastor," they wrote. "The Discipline, in Paragraph 346.1, does not impose upon the bishop any criteria, constraint or guideline for the discontinuance of a local pastor's appointment. If a bishop's authority of appointment or discontinuance of a local pastor is to be diminished or curtailed, it must be accomplished by the General Conference and not by the Judicial Council."
The dissenting opinion was signed by Sally Curtis AsKew, Sally Brown Geis, the Rev. Larry D. Pickens and Mary A. Daffin. Those in the majority were the Rev. John G. Corry, the Rev. C. Rex Bevins, Rodolfo Beltran, the Rev. Keith Boyette and James Holsinger.
In the other case, the Louisiana Conference had approved revisions and amendments to its conference structure and rules in 2002, after the Judicial Council had found that deficiencies continued to exist. The court had instructed the conference to advise and resubmit its structure and rules.
However, in reviewing the 2002 revisions, the council found that many of the same deficiencies still exist. The ruling listed a number of examples where Louisiana's rules "fall short" of the Discipline and also stated that the list of examples was "not exhaustive." The conference was directed to review its entire plan for compliance.
The decision reads, in part: "When an annual conference seeks to establish its own structure, the structure must be in accordance with the requirements of the Discipline and the decisions of the Judicial Council in order to be constitutional."
The council remanded the structure and rules back to the Louisiana Conference and directed that any revision or amendments be submitted to the Judicial Council by July 15 in the year which they are approved.
The council will continue to be available during General Conference to make additional decisions. In a motion that was approved on the floor of General Conference on April 27, the Judicial Council was requested to rule whether or not Paragraph 304.3 of the Book of Discipline constitutes a declaration by the United Methodist Church that "the practice of homosexuality is incompatible with Christian teachings," and if so, does Paragraph 2702.1(b) "incorporate that declaration into church law by reference?" The council has not yet ruled on that question.

Friday Is Third Furlough Day, More Possible In New Budget
Friday is the third of four furlough days for many Louisville Metro Government employees, but more furlough days may be imposed next year.
By not paying so-called nonessential employees for four days, Metro Government plans to trim $1.9 million from its $20 million budget shortfall.
Mayor's spokesperson Chris Poynter says more money will have to be cut from the next budget, and furloughs, layoffs and a number of other types of reductions will be considered.
"Revenues are not good, continue to go down, not sure when we're going to hit bottom," he says. "So everything's on the table. The bottom line is we have to do the essential services Metro Government does."
The final furlough day for this fiscal year is May 1st.

Hard Rock Stadium – Miami Dolphins
Hard Rock Stadium 2267 NW 199th St Miami Gardens, FL 33056
Miami Dolphins website
Hard Rock Stadium website
The Dolphins' Domain
Hard Rock Stadium has been the home of the Miami Dolphins since 1987. Over those 30 years the stadium has gone through many names… Joe Robbie Stadium, Pro Player Stadium, Dolphins Stadium, Land Shark Stadium, Sun Life Stadium and since 2016, Hard Rock Stadium. The 64,767-seat stadium is unique in that it is privately funded. This includes the massive renovations that have taken place over the last few years.
Hard Rock Stadium has hosted some of the top sports events in the world over the years. This includes five Super Bowls, four BCS-era National Championship games, two World Series and several games of the World Baseball Classic. The Miami Marlins shared the stadium with the Dolphins from 1993-2011. Presently both the Orange Bowl and the Miami Hurricanes home games are held at Hard Rock Stadium as well. Future events scheduled for the stadium include the 2020 Super Bowl and the 2021 NCAA National Football Championship game.
While Hard Rock Stadium has concession stands which offer the typical stadium fare, it also features a number of options with a decidedly Latin or South Florida flavor. Amongst these are Sloppy Joe's (conch fritters and po' boys from the Florida Keys), Café Versailles (Cuban sandwiches and empanadas), Fuku (spicy chicken), Coyo Taco (tacos and burritos) and Los Ranchos (churrasco's and rice with beans). For those who enter the stadium early, there is the Breakfast House, which offers brunch items and mimosas.
On the beverage front, Hard Rock scores high for its broad selection of craft brews. They offer over 30 national brews, plus 16 from the South Florida area alone. Local brews include Funky Buddha, Due South, Saltwater, Concrete Beach, 26 Degrees and Wynnwood. Bottled beers are $8, and drafts go for $11.
The home of the Dolphins is strikingly contemporary for a thirty-year old stadium. Its use of the teal and orange colors of the Dolphins team bring an energy to the stadium. Its 147 suites cater to the well-heeled business community of Miami and there is not a bad seat in the house.
Hard Rock Stadium has undergone a series of massive renovation projects in phases since 2015. All of these are aimed at improving the fan experience. These improvements have included the replacement of every seat in the stadium, rebuilding of several concourses, moving sideline seats 25 feet closer to the field and the addition of four HD video boards in each corner of the stadium. The most obvious improvement to the stadium is the installation of a canopy roof that covers 92% of the seating areas. This protects fans from the harsh South Florida sun, as well as the heavy downpours that are a frequent occurrence in Florida.
Another recent addition that has been very popular with the fans is the LIV at Hard Rock Club. This is a sister club to the LIV at South Beach. It provides a nightclub-like experience with two bars, a dance floor, private cabanas and a great view of the field from its location above the west end zone.
The Dolphins chose the site of Hard Rock Stadium more than 30 years ago based on its quick access to the Florida Turnpike and I-95. They also chose the location based on its being halfway between the population centers of downtown Miami and Fort Lauderdale. At that time the area was undeveloped, and land was cheap.
Unfortunately, 30 years later the immediate area around Hard Rock Stadium is mainly populated with fast food locations, a few discount hotels and the single attraction is on the same property as the stadium. The Calder Casino is the lone attraction in the immediate area of the stadium.
However, travel five miles east towards the Atlantic beaches and you will find an excellent inventory of lodging, a broad selection of restaurants and the sports, entertainment, and shopping mecca of Gulfstream Park. Two restaurants that come highly recommended are ROK: BRGR in Hallandale Beach and The Tuck Room in North Miami. The AC Hotel by Marriott in Aventura offers excellent accommodations just seven miles from the stadium.
Our game day advice is to sample one of the many unique food items at Hard Rock for lunch then investigate the coastal options following the game.
Miami and South Florida cannot be defined as a homogeneous area. It is a virtual melting pot of cultures, age groups and frankly, different reasons for living there. The same can be said of the Dolphins Fin-base. Older Dol-fans moved here to escape the harsh winters and remember the glory days of the franchise (Miami last won the Super Bowl in the 1970's and have not won a playoff game in nearly 20 years). They have held out hope that the glory days will return and are probably the most loyal ticket holders for the team.
The younger generations never have experienced a glory day or year. They tend to come to games for a good time. Win or lose they are there to meet up with friends, hang out at the LIV at Hard Rock, or just watch the game from the parking lot… where tailgating is just competitive as the games.
The final component of the Dol-fan Fin-base are the transplants. Typically, these fans have season tickets through their companies, which have relocated to the area. They come and cheer loyally for the home team… until their former hometown favorites (think New England, New York and Philadelphia) come to town. Suddenly they are sporting their "old" team colors. There are many games where the visiting team has more fans in the stadium than the Dol-fans. (If you live in Buffalo in December… wouldn't a divisional game in Miami sound inviting?)
One thing all of the fan groups agree on… they simply adore T.D., the team's lovable Dolphin mascot.
Hard Rock Stadium is located midway (18 miles) between downtown Miami and Fort Lauderdale along Florida's Turnpike. Drivers can take exit 2X (199th Street/ Stadium) and go directly into the parking lots for the stadium.
A second option which avoids the heavy traffic on I-95 and the Turnpike on game days is public transit. Miami -Dade Transit offers a combination of light rail and bus shuttles to the stadium. Riders should take the Metrorail to the Earlington Heights Station, then transfer to Bus Route 297, which runs directly to Hard Rock. The fare is $4.50 round trip.
Standard ticket prices at Hard Rock Stadium range from $65 – $578. The Dolphins have a very large season ticket base, so you will frequently have to buy tickets on the secondary ticket markets at premium prices. The divisional games against the Jets and the Patriots always have the highest demand each season.
Parking is $40, but a $15 discount is given to drivers with a Florida Sunpass (toll pass) on their cars. The concessions at Hard Rock Stadium are higher priced than most stadiums due to the many specialty vendors and high quality of the food items.
There is an ironic twist to the naming rights for Hard Rock Stadium. Hard Rock restaurants throughout Florida are owned by the Seminole Tribe of Florida, which also works closely with Florida State University as well. One of the main tenants of Hard Rock Stadium is the University of Miami football program, the primary rival of Florida State in the ACC.
The Dolphins are prominent supporters of public art. Hard Rock Stadium features more than 20 murals, also known locally as street art, throughout the stadium. Some murals have a football/Dolphins theme, while others depict non-sports subjects.
There are three statues of interest located just outside of the stadium. At Gate E, the "Perfect Moment in Time" depicts coach Don Shula being carried off the field in celebration after the conclusion of the Dolphins perfect 17-0 season. A second statue is the centerpiece of the Dolphins Walk of Fame. It is also known as Joe Robbie Alumni Plaza and is located near Gate C. Dolphins founder and funder of the stadium, Joe Robbie is surrounded by members of the Dolphins elite, including Don Shula, Dan Marino, Bob Griese, Larry Csonka, Paul Warfield, Mercury Morris and Manny Fernandez. The third statue is of Dolphin icon QB Dan Marino. His statue is located near the fountains on the 199th Street side of the stadium.
The Dolphins are very community oriented. The Dolphins Cancer Challenge is the NFL's largest single fundraising event, raising more than $23 million since 2010. The team is also quick to respond to events affecting their community. It organized relief efforts for the people of Puerto Rico after Hurricane Irma and provided support following the school shooting at nearby Margery Stoneman Douglas High School.
Hard Rock Stadium is an NFL venue that has stayed current with the times, and in many ways is an improvement over its original design. The team has been fortunate to have owners from Joe Robbie to Steven Ross who have been willing to invest whatever funds are needed to improve the fan experience. It is no surprise that such special events such as the Super Bowl, NCAA Football Championships and the Pro Bowl choose to come back on a regular basis.

My Azores Sailing experience was one that I will never forget.
I have been sailing plenty of times in my life, but my first time sailing in the Azores was pretty special. It was a great day out on the water and had everything you could ask for in a sailing trip. (Unless of course you want bad weather and huge waves!) But it really was a great day thanks to the weather, the dolphins, the whales, and the beautiful view of the coastline.
The prominent yellow building is a hotel. And you can see a newer waterpark on the right that features waterslides. I have never been ... that's not the reason I go to the Azores.
As we headed out of the marina, our captain asked us what our objective was for the day. Did we want to see whales and dolphins? Or did we want to swim? Or was seeing a certain point on Sao Miguel something we wanted to do? None of us had packed a swim suit, but we all wanted to sail and hoped to see whales and dolphins. He said that there was no guarantee of seeing whales or dolphins on the sail boat but he would communicate with the whale watching observation towers (posted high up on the island) to see if any were nearby. The first report back to us was that the nearest whales spotted were many miles out and it would take a great deal of time to try and track them. We told him not to worry and to take us along the coast. So we headed East along the southern coast.
The sails were up within minutes of departing the marina and the wind got us moving at a very good pace. The water was quite calm despite the good wind and we had a very comfortable ride. We had great views of the coast line all along the way. And every so often our captain would put a radio call in to the whale watching towers to see if any whales or dolphins could be spotted nearby. Unfortunately after an hour or two we resigned ourselves to not seeing any whales or dolphins. But it was okay, the sun was shining, the view was marvelous and we were all enjoying each other's company in comfort.
After about two hours of enjoying the view of the coast, we suddenly had a great surprise. A pod of dolphins came upon us and befriended us through quite a show. It was quite extraordinary seeing them swim alongside, around and right under the boat. I have seen dolphins in captivity before, but nothing compares to the magic of seeing them in their environment and knowing that they are choosing to interact with you.
After watching them in awe for a few minutes I realized that I could catch them on video with my camera. But unfortunately my skill and experience is limited and the batteries in my old digital camera were quite low. So I got nine seconds of grainy footage of several dolphins jumping out of the water as they swam along the boat. Nine low quality seconds. Darn it! I cursed at myself for taking a hundred pictures of the coast, the boat and my family in the previous two hours and depleting my batteries. And I cursed myself further for having the spare batteries down below. An experienced photographer/videographer would not have been caught unprepared. So I enjoyed the show for a few more minutes and then ran down below to replace my batteries. But guess what? When I got back on top the dolphins were gone! Thankfully someone else managed to get a picture.
It was shortly after this that it was time to head back. The ride back was just as good as the ride out. I quietly hoped for more dolphins so I could try again. We were all quite satisfied with the time we had been on the water in this Azores sailing adventure. So when we were getting close to the marina my thoughts started to turn to what we would have for dinner or something along those lines.
But then we got another bit of excitement ... a radio call came in from one of the whale watching towers. There were several whales just a couple miles out. Our captain asked if we minded being late for dinner. None of us minded the opportunity to go whale watching. The captain instructed his assistant to turn the engine on to aid the sails. He wanted maximum speed and the wind was not cooperating perfectly like he needed it to. But he had our attention and interest. He was running back and forth to the radio, hollering instructions to his assistant and to my father (who was back at the helm) and looking out into the coast.
After about a half hour of this "excitement" I started to wonder if this was just a show for our benefit ... it was a good show mind you. But then a small whale watching boat passed us and I knew that this was not a show and my interest went back up. We ended up seeing several whales in the distance. But we never got close enough to allow me to get a good picture. It was a nice experience seeing them bobbing in and out of the water. But it was a little anti-climatic after the anticipation and after how close the dolphins came to us.
This concluded our Azores Sailing expedition. We got as close as we could manage to the whales and headed back to the marina, about an hour later than scheduled, which was very kind of our captain because I am sure it cost him plenty in fuel, greatly diminishing whatever profit he earned from us.
As our Azores sailing experience wound up and the shore grew ever closer, a few of us celebrated our day by enjoying a nice cold beer. A great way to head back after a beautiful day on the water.
If you have the opportunity to go an Azores sailing trip, I highly recommend it.

Open-access drug treatment center to open in Lansing
A building in Lansing will be the home of the fourth open-access treatment center in New York, offering some services this month.
Open-access drug treatment center to open in Lansing A building in Lansing will be the home of the fourth open-access treatment center in New York, offering some services this month. Check out this story on ithacajournal.com: https://www.ithacajournal.com/story/news/local/2019/02/11/tompkins-county-lansing-drug-treatment-center/2840008002/
Ashley Biviano, Ithaca Journal Published 3:52 p.m. ET Feb. 11, 2019 | Updated 4:02 p.m. ET Feb. 11, 2019
A building in Lansing will be the home of the first open-access drug treatment center in Tompkins County, eventually providing services seven days a week.
The Alcohol and Drug Council of Tompkins County announced Monday the acquisition of a nearly 20,000-square-foot building at 2353 North Triphammer Road in the Village of Lansing that will provide varying levels of treatment.
The facility will contain 40 beds for medically supervised detox and stabilization, but more funding is needed and renovations will take place before the residential component is opened.
Beginning this month, the site will be the fourth location with an open-access facility in the state.
Open access centers help direct people to addiction treatment services by delivering immediate engagement, assessment and referral services for people suffering from a substance-use disorder. The others in the state are in Rochester, Staten Island and Syracuse.
Dr. John-Paul Mead, an Ithaca native, will serve as the facility's medical director.
Emily Parker, director of development for the Alcohol and Drug Council of Tompkins County, said the open access will be phased in beginning with weekend hours, 10 a.m. until 6 p.m., Saturdays and Sundays. She said the downtown facility is open Monday through Friday.
"Once we add medically supervised withdrawal and stabilization services over the next several months, those open-access center hours will eventually expand to 24/7," Parker said.
Parker said the vision of the center is that it will be a safe, welcoming point of entry where anyone struggling with alcohol or drug addiction can come anytime.
The securing of the site came to fruition by support from the Tompkins County Legislature, led by Chairwoman Martha Robertson and Tompkins County Administrator Jason Molino.
"Tompkins County is committed to supporting the Alcohol and Drug Council to bring these vital and cost-effective services to our community, as part of our local services priority plan," Molino said in a statement.
"As we expand our services, we will be adding additional medical and clinical professionals to our staff to offer high-quality, compassionate care for our community," Alcohol and Drug Council Executive Director Angela Sullivan said.
Tompkins County Mental Health Commissioner Frank Kruppa said, "There is no higher priority public health project in Tompkins County than adding these open-access, medically supervised withdrawal services to address a gap in locally available care for people struggling with substance-use disorders."
Per a release from the Alcohol and Drug Council, David Huckle, of Pyramid Brokerage Co., brokered the lease; Kelly White, of Illume Projects, is the project manager; and Seth Hiland, of Harris Beach, PLLC, is legal counsel. The landlord, Blinders Property Co., was represented by Connor Colbert, of Greenstate Properties.
"Addiction is a critical issue that crosses all socioeconomic boundaries, and I'm very happy to see this important project move forward in our community," said Robert Colbert Jr., of Greenstate Properties, the building owner.
Sullivan said the Alcohol and Drug Council of Tompkins has been grateful to be able to work with the Colberts throughout the acquisition process. She added it's a beautiful property that is welcoming and will act as a healing point of entry for patients.
"Initially, we will offer assessments, referrals and medication-assisted treatment, such as Suboxone, and people can stay there for up to 23 hours," Parker said. "Partner agencies will work with us to provide a range of other support services that people need to support long-term recovery, such as mental health, advocacy, housing and health care services."

Does Lsd Cause Schizophrenia Not Likely
There is not currently any research in support of the idea that LSD can cause schizophrenia. Although it may induce a state of psychosis that is very similar to schizophrenia this is considered drug-induced psychosis and does not stem from other factors. In most cases, these symptoms go away and the person does not experience long term, permanent psychotic effects as a result of using LSD. Currently there is no research that would support the idea that using LSD significantly raises your risk of schizophrenia.
Some would argue that chronic LSD usage could eventually trigger schizophrenia in an individual that may be prone to the disease. This is where things get tricky and subjective opinions come into play. I would say that in someone who is prone to developing schizophrenia, it would be a very smart idea to avoid LSD and all other drugs. If you end up developing the illness after using LSD, there is no way of knowing whether it was caused by one too many trips on this drug or other drugs.
Excess Of Methionine Leads To Disturbances In Foetal Brain Development
A recent study, published in august 2017, has highlighted a new factor which possibly plays an important role in the risk of developing schizophrenia. They found that an increased concentration of a certain amino acid in pregnant mice is associated with a greater risk of the offspring developing schizophrenia. Researchers hope that this discovery can contribute to the development of more effective treatments and better preventive measures.
The amino acid, which the researchers investigated, is called methionine. It is an essential amino acid that the body is unable to produce on its own and thus needs added via the diet. It is necessary for the methylation of DNA; a process that is decisive of how the genes are expressed. As schizophrenia is an illness caused by developmental disturbances, genetic errors and epigenetic changes, and as the process of methylation is involved in all three processes, it seems very likely that an increased level of methionine can affect the risk of developing schizophrenia.
Does This Mean That Lsd Wont Cause Schizophrenia
There is still no clear cut answer as to what causes schizophrenia in the first place. Some think its based on genetic susceptibility, while others believe its a combination of both genetic and environmental factors. There is also evidence that usage of illicit street drugs could play a role in causing brain changes that would lead an individual to develop schizophrenia. Many famous people with schizophrenia are thought to have developed the illness as a result of hard drug abuse.
Of course we have the chicken and egg argument which came first the schizophrenia or the substance abuse. In cases of substance abuse, would the person have gone on to develop schizophrenia if they had not abused drugs. Currently, most of the research supports that although there is a correlation between substance abuse, there is no major evidence supporting the idea that drug abuse can cause schizophrenia. Many illicit drugs including Ecstasy can cause hallucinations and similar symptoms to schizophrenia.
Although usage of LSD may mimic schizophrenic symptoms and induce a state of psychosis, it is not thought to cause a person to develop schizophrenia. A state of drug induced psychosis is not the same as schizophrenia. With that said, LSD usage is thought to make symptoms of schizophrenia more intense and severe.

Association Between Pufa Deficiency And Symptoms/cognition In Schizophrenia
Evidence has shown that low PUFA levels are associated with negative and positive symptoms in patients with schizophrenia. Studies also show the blood levels of PUFAs, particularly DHA, are negatively correlated with the severity of symptoms .
Cognitive functioning refers to many different mental abilities including attention, memory, language, attention, perception, problem solving, decision making, etc. . Cognitive deficits, especially in memory abilities are found in about 7585% of schizophrenia patients . It impacts negatively on psychosocial functioning in schizophrenia . Generally, cognitive deficits are found early in UHR individuals and at the onset of illness , become evident in first-episode, treatment-naïve patients , and continue to decline as illness progressed . Thus, cognitive symptoms may serve as a prognostic marker and predictor of schizophrenia . Several studies have shown that abnormality in PUFA levels in UHR and schizophrenic patients is associated with memory, language and cognitive impairments . PUFAs, particularly DHA, play an important role in maintaining brain function and neural transmission .
The Connection Between Amino Acids And Neurotransmitters
NAC is far from the only amino acid that shows promise as a means of improving your mental health and well-being. As touched on earlier, tryptophan, tyrosine, phenylalanine, glycine, cysteine, and methionine have all shown benefits for the following conditions:
Many of the beneficial ways amino acids impact your mental health have to do with the fact that some of them are precursors of neurotransmitters while others actually function as neurotransmitters. The way neurotransmitters work is quite complex, but for our purposes, it will suffice to say that our brains depend on them for mood stability, among other vital functions. If youre interested in delving further into the science of neurotransmitters and amino acids, this article is a wonderful place to start.

Can Schizophrenia Be Cured Naturally Without Medication Not Completely
Many people with schizophrenia are in search of a cure for their condition. It is completely natural to look for cases of people that have been cured of debilitating mental illness and other diseases. The truth is that there is no cure for schizophrenia at this particular time. However, science and researchers are advancing and it is hoped that a cure will eventually be discovered.
Differences Between Lsd Psychosis And Schizophrenia
In one study, researchers took a look at whether individuals hospitalized for LSD psychosis were significantly different than people experiencing acute schizophrenia. Researchers took a look at many different factors including: family history, set of symptoms, and premorbid adjustment. Participants were tested extensively for 52 LSD psychotics and 29 schizophrenics.
Whats interesting is that the LSD psychotics did not differ from individuals with schizophrenia in incidence of psychosis or suicide among the parents. In other words, family history was pretty similar in regards to psychotic symptoms and suicide history. However, parents of the LSD psychotics had significantly high rates of alcoholism far more than schizophrenics as well as the general population.
The groups had some slight clinical differences, but were equivalent in premorbid adjustment, cognitive performance when hospitalized and reassessed, and also similar in number of further hospitalizations. This study was able to demonstrate that LSD psychotics were pretty similar to schizophrenics. Findings from this study support the hypothesis that LSD psychosis could be a drug-induced schizophreniform reaction among individuals prone to substance abuse and psychosis.
Are There Other Neurotransmitters Involved
While dopamine receives a large amount of attention when looking at schizophrenia symptoms, its not the only neurotransmitter researchers are eyeing with this disorder.
Of the over 40 different neurotransmitters studied by researchers today, there are four others that are believed to play a role in schizophrenia — glutamate, GABA, serotonin, and acetylcholine.
Lets take a closer look at these neurotransmitters and what theyre responsible for:
Glutamate – the major excitatory neurotransmitter thats found in nearly 60% of neurons in the brain. It plays a major role in learning and memory as we mature, more specifically long-term potentiation in the brain. Researchers believe schizophrenia symptoms can be triggered by high or low levels of glutamate.
GABA – also known as gamma-aminobutyric acid, GABA is an inhibitory neurotransmitter thats found throughout the brain. It plays an important role in motor control, vision, regulating anxiety, minimizing fear, and producing a calming effect in the body. Researchers believe low levels of GABA in the brain can lead to schizophrenia symptoms.
Acetylcholine – an excitatory neurotransmitter that was the first neurotransmitter ever identified by researchers. It has a variety of roles in the brain and body, including the activation and movement of muscles, motivation, arousal, attention, learning, and memory. Researchers believe changes in the muscarinic acetylcholine system play a role in schizophrenia symptoms.
Heterogeneity Of Patients Omega
Bentsen et al. have shown two clinically distinct endophenotypes in schizophrenia determined by PUFA levels. Patients with low PUFAs have more negative symptoms than those with high PUFAs , and they are more responsive to omega-3 intervention. In these studies, patients all have low PUFA baseline prior to study. Omega-3 fatty acid supplementation raised the blood levels of omega-3 fatty acids.
A recent publication by Cadenhead et al. has shown dietary omega-3 fatty acid intake and plasma RAC were low in individuals with clinical high risk for psychosis as compared to age-matched healthy individuals. Alqarni et al. have also shown that proportions of PUFAs were significantly lower in the UHR group compared to healthy controls. Amminger et al. have shown that omega-3 fatty acid supplementation to adolescents in the UHR cohort not only significantly reduced the rate of transition to psychosis, but also improved the psychotic symptoms.
Antipsychotic medication may improve brain functions and alleviate symptoms , but it often cause extrapyramidal side effects. The add-on therapy with omega-3 PUFAs may result in a synergistic effect in illness outcomes for UHR adolescents and patients with first-episode schizophrenia. Omega-3 PUFA supplementation can also reduce the antipsychotic dose needed to control the symptoms, increase antipsychotic tolerability, reduce extrapyramidal side effects , and improve cognitive performance .
The Basic Genetics Of Schizophrenia
Schizophrenia aggregates in the families with no known familial subtypes. Twin and adoption studies have shown that this familiarity is explained predominantly by genetic factors, with estimates of genetic contribution ranging from 60 to 80%. However, these data do not follow a simple recessive or dominant pattern. If it were simple recessive, the frequency in children of two schizophrenic parents would be 100%, but is actually under 40%; if it were simple dominant, 50% of the offspring of one schizophrenic parent would be affected and each person with schizophrenia would have one ill parent . Moreover, the prevalence in offspring is too low to be consistent with the high monozygotic twin concordance rate. Thus, the genetic effect is not completely penetrant indicating that many relatives of people with schizophrenia may carry silent genetic susceptibility. Detail of the risk of illness among relatives with schizophrenia is shown in . A further complication is the epidemiological evidence that, while a high population prevalence has been maintained, the reproductive rate of people with schizophrenia is low.

Prevalence And Causes Of Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid Deficiency In Schizophrenia
Ample evidence has shown that PUFA deficiency occurs in schizophrenia, which may be caused by many factors. A simple scheme outlines the possible factors involved in the process of PUFA deficiency.
Causes of PUFA deficiency in schizophrenia. Cause may be due to high 6/3 diet, low synthesis due to abnormal metabolic enzymes, or low absorption due to mutated fatty acid binding protein; and elevated phospholipase A2 activity which release PUFAs from cell membrane. Abbreviations: AA, arachidonic acid ; ALA, alpha-linolenic acid ; DHA, docosahexaenoic acid ; FABP-7, fatty acid binding protein; FAD1/FAD2, delta-5 and delta-6 fatty acid desaturases; GPCR, G-protein coupling receptor; LA, linoleic acid ; PL, phospholipids; PLA2, phospholipase A2
Methylation B12 Folic Acid And B6
Methylation is a critical process in the brain that helps maintain the right chemical balance. An indicator of faulty methylation is having a high level of a toxic amino acid in the blood called homocysteine. The body makes homocysteine from dietary protein and, provided you are getting enough of certain vitamins1, especially folic acid, B12 and B6, homocysteine levels decrease. Many people with schizophrenia, especially young males, tend to have a high level of homocysteine, despite no obvious dietary lack of these vitamins. High levels of homocysteine and low blood levels of folic acid have been reported by many research groups. These unusually high levels dont appear to relate to diet or lifestyle factors, such as smoking. People diagnosed with schizophrenia are more likely to have inherited a genetic variation of a key homocysteine lowering enzyme, which may make them need more of these and other nutrients.
Research at Kings College Hospital psychiatry department in London has found high doses of folic acid to be highly effective in schizophrenic patients. They used 15mg a day, which is 75 times the RDA! Folic acid is not toxic at this level. We recommend starting with 1mg a day, increasing the dose only under supervision of your health care provider.
Wheres the evidence? Search our evidence database and enter folate or folic acid and schizophrenia into the search field for a summary of studies that demonstrate the effect of folic acid on schizophrenia.
Amphetamine Crystal Meth And The Dopamine Theory
As seen in Figure , the heyday of research into LSD and other hallucinogens was in the 1960s. However, new laws restricted researchers ability to study these drugs, and it became clear that LSD produced a psychosis with more visual and fewer auditory aberrations than is typical of schizophrenia. Interest switched to amphetamines.
Figure 1. Number of published papers on illicit drugs and psychosis.
The similarity of amphetamine psychosis to schizophrenia was first clearly described in the 1950s by Tatetsu et al. and was substantiated by a similar report in Britain from Subsequently, Angrist et al. found that amphetamine administered experimentally produced a picture similar to paranoid psychosis in healthy individuals and exacerbated psychotic symptoms in approximately one-third of schizophrenic patients ; moreover neuroleptic drugs blocked these psychotogenic effects of amphetamines . Amphetamine was found to stimulate dopamine outflow, while, in contrast, antipsychotics were found to block dopamine receptors in the brain . Subsequently SPET and PET studies demonstrated that acute administration of amphetamine induced greater striatal dopamine release in first-episode schizophrenia patients compared to healthy controls . Together these observations provided the basis for the dopamine hypothesis of schizophrenia .
Treatment Of Drug Addiction
Those who exhibit either the drug abuse symptoms previously mentioned, in addition to organic psychosis symptoms, are likely to have stimulant-induced psychosis. Through medical supervision and the use of pills, dependence therapy, and continued support, this condition can be treated successfully.
For instance, after medical stabilization, a patient may begin taking certain medications such as antipsychotics or benzodiazepines to reduce their symptoms. Finally, people may receive therapy to cope with the symptoms of their episodes.
Dealing With Substance Abuse And Mental Health Problems
If you or a loved one is struggling with a substance use disorder and youve noticed some signs of psychosis or other mental health issues, its imperative to address them as soon as possible. Both substance use disorders and mental health problems can be treated with personalized treatment and the right level of care.
When you first enter treatment, youll go through an assessment process thats designed to pinpoint your needs. If you have a substance use problem and co-occuring mental health problems like psychosis, you may go through dual diagnosis treatment.
That means, your treatment plan will be tailored to address both problems simultaneously. Otherwise, ignoring underlying issues can slow or even reverse the progress you make dealing with just one disorder.
You may start treatment in a level of care thats right for your needs, which is determined with the help of the ASAM criteria, a list of six dimensions that should be considered in treatment. The criteria, which are outlined by the American Society of Addiction Medicine, include intoxications or withdrawal potential, biomedical conditions, psychological conditions, readiness to change, relapse potential, and living environment.
If you have a mental health problem that requires high-level care like schizophrenia, you may go through more intensive treatment options to address it.
Can Drug Abuse Cause Schizoaffective Disorder
Drugs That Are Linked to Psychosis
Drug abuse can have severe adverse effects on your brain and body. Psychoactive substances are used to alter chemicals in your body to achieve the desired result, whether that is to treat an illness or for recreation.
Substance use disorders are progressive, and they can get worse over time. They can start to take over different aspects of your life, including your psychological and physiological health. But can drugs leave a lasting psychological impact on you? Does the fried egg metaphor from the old this is your brain on drugs commercial really hold water?
There are reports of people who use certain types of drugs developing psychotic symptoms and disorders like schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorders. But do drugs really affect the brain in that way, or could the mental disorders cause the initial drug use?
Learn more about drug abuse and its relationship to schizoaffective disorders.
Finding Help For Lsd Addiction And Schizophrenia
The fact is, there is no conclusive evidence showing that LSD use is or is not related to schizophrenia.4 However, we do know this: LSD abuse is most certainly a problem, whether it is coupled with schizophrenia or not, and both conditions should be treated by reputable and experienced mental health specialists with a proven track record of success.
While no cure presently exists for schizophrenia, stopping LSD abuse will, in most cases, improve your drug-related symptoms and provide greater opportunity for health and happiness.1 Our track record of success in this field is supported by the findings of more than ten independent studies.

Reduced Synthesis And Uptake Of Long
During brain development, brain possesses the enzymes required for the synthesis of DHA and AA from alpha-linolenic acid via EPA, and linoleic acid, respectively. The concentrations of DHA and AA increase sharply. Inadequate brain accumulation of DHA during this period can result in an omega-3 PUFA-deficiency which impair the cortical structure and functional maturation , and increase the risk for schizophrenia . In adult brain, the synthesis rate decreases significantly . In schizophrenia, genetic variation, such as fatty acid desaturase , FAD1/FAD2 genes, has further reduced the ability to synthesize long-chain PUFAs . Normally, the consumption rate of AA and DHA by adult human brain was estimated to be 17.8 and 4.6 mg/day, respectively . To maintain normal structure and function, brain relies on a constant supply of AA and DHA from the food via blood . Unfortunately, schizophrenia patients often consume unbalanced diet . Paweczyk et al. have reported that UHR individuals consumed significantly higher proportion of omega-6 fatty acids whereas less of omega-3 fatty acids in comparison with individuals who did not develop psychosis. Similarly, patients with chronic schizophrenia also have a poor diet .
A Trip Inside The Schizophrenic Mind
Researchers are investigating how hallucinogens might be used to modeland develop treatments forpsychosis
LSD, magic mushrooms and mescaline have been banned in the U.S. and many other countries since the 1970s, but psychedelic medicine is making a comeback as new therapies for depression, nicotine addiction and anxiety. The drugs have another scientific use, too: so-called psychotomimetics, or mimics of psychosis, may be useful tools for studying schizophrenia. By creating a brief bout of psychosis in a healthy brain, as indigenous healers have for millennia, scientists are seeking new ways to studyand perhaps treatmental illness.
We think that schizophrenia is a group of psychoses, which may have different causes, says Franz Vollenweider, a psychiatrist and neuroscientist at the University of Zurich. The new approach is to try to understand specific symptoms: hearing voices, cognitive problems, or apathy and social disengagement. If you can identify the neural bases of these, you can tailor the pharmacology.
And schizophrenia desperately needs new treatments. Seventy-five percent of afflicted patients have cognitive problems. And most commonly used drugs do not treat the disorder's negative symptomsapathy, social withdrawal, negative thinkingnor the cognitive impairments, which best predict how well a patient will fare in the long term.

What Types Of Drugs Can Cause Drug
The drugs which are often reported in cases of drug-induced psychosis, and are most likely to result in symptoms of psychosis, include:
The precise symptoms that the above drugs may cause during drug-induced psychosis, varies depending on the drug in question, although some of the most commonly reported symptoms of drug-induced psychosis include:
Delusions – this is when you may believe that something is happening that isnt reflective of the real world, and you may ignore any challenges to these beliefs from others, as to you, it will feel like a real scenario.
Delusions take on various forms, including:
Persecution delusions – where you might believe someone is spying on you
Jealousy delusions – often involving a partner, where you may believe they have been unfaithful, although there is no evidence for this
Grandiose delusions – where you may experience an exaggerated sense of power, such as believing that you have magical abilities or you have made a major discovery
Hallucinations – usually visual or auditory, hallucinations are distorted sensory perceptions of whats happening around you, and can also relate to smell and touch. Auditory hallucinations involve hearing voices, such as a voice narrating your movements or actions, or two separate voices arguing between each other. Visual hallucinations occur when you see a different reality to that of others, with shadows, objects and people viewed that arent really there, and can be particularly distressing.
Increased Oxidative Stress In Schizophrenia
PUFA depletion in schizophrenia patients could be due to an increase in oxidative stress . In adult human, brain accounts for approximately 20% of total body oxygen consumption even though it comprises only 2% of the body weight. Maintaining normal oxidative stress requires adequate antioxidant capacity, which is relatively low in brain as compared to other tissues. Therefore, brain is vulnerable to oxidative stress. Studies have shown in schizophrenia an increase in oxidative stress, in conjunction with a decrease in antioxidant defense enzymes , catalase, and glutathione peroxidase) in schizophrenia . The unbalance in pro- and anitioxidants may have increased susceptibility of brain PUFAs to oxidative damage and subsequently contributed to the deterioration of brain structure and cognitive impairment during the course of the disease . The DHA-rich region, such as PFC, is the most prone to oxidation damage .

Of the following, which one pollutes the air of a big city?
Q. Of the following, which one pollutes the air of a big city?
The lead in fuels contribute to air pollution, especially in urban areas. Soils near highways, freeways, and smelting facilities have higher levels of lead than soils in other areas because of their exposure to lead dust, which accumulates over time.
Exposure to small amounts of lead over a long period of time is called chronic toxicity. Lead is particularly dangerous because once it gets into a person's system, it is distributed throughout the body just like helpful minerals such as iron, calcium, and zinc. And lead can cause harm wherever it lands in the body.
Lead (Pb) is an elemental heavy metal found naturally in the environment as well as in manufactured products. Lead can be released directly into the air, as suspended particles. Historic major sources of lead air emissions were motor vehicles and industrial sources.

Finding the right words to express your company's ideas and message is never often easy.
This can be worrying, especially when you read throughout the internet, 'content is king, CONTENT IS KING'.
Well yes, content is king, to a point. However, remember 'Otumfuo Opuku ware II' was also a King. You may have received an email from his Prince son in broken English some years ago.
The point is sometimes, rather than using the wrong words, it's best to use no words at all. Pythagoras, way back when, told us that silence is 'better than unmeaning words'.
For rest of the time though, every single word you use will make a difference. With so much competition in our media-rich world, getting the right message across has never been more critical.
Finding the right place, rhythm and timing for the right words can create strong connections with your customers and clients, whatever the platform.
Does the writing really matter?
A recent survey of small businesses in the US showed that while 74% had web sites, around half felt that their online presence wasn't important to their business. But around three quarters of customers research online before making a purchase and more than 90% of B2B buyers research online before purchases.
Like it or not, your online presence does matter. It is now the first point of contact for most people. Every single message is an opportunity to communicate with potential customers.
When communicating with them, always be clear and concise, honest and be respectful, creative but not obscure. Don't let your words end up in a crowded wasteland of mediocrity.
Banal encounters with 'results-orientated champions who are passionate about their partners' don't just fail to spark interest. They leave you among the crowd.
Bland, uninventive messages can turn people off. They can even turn people against you. Your content must stimulate your consumers' interest, rather than assume it.
The way you communicate not only indicates how you think about yourself, but your customers too.
A claim that you 'think outside the box' or do 'blue sky thinking', contrary to the apparent aim of the message, actually speaks of conformity rather than innovation.
You may wish to 'go the extra mile' but that might not be evident from your choice of phrase.
Now it isn't wrong to feel you are 'cutting-edge' as such. However, does anyone else out there claim to be 'run-of-the-mill'?
If your 'bespoke solutions' can be mistaken for satire, you're not conveying a good message.
Being distinct is crucial to any company. It tells people that you're honest, trustworthy and care about what you do. It helps people recognise you, and makes you stand out in a crowded market.
But distinctiveness is not enough. The trick of good communications in the digital age is to have a strategy that makes you unique without becoming obscure or invisible. Getting it right involves balance, and that necessitates consideration.
Online, identifying search terms used by customers must also form part of those considerations. For certain key words to come across, sometimes you have to conform to their patterns.
It can be harder to find the right words now, but when did easy ever get us anywhere?
There is no turning back from the complexities of this digital age. The businesses willing and best able to face up and adapt to them will surely do the best.
