Pittsburgh in 7 as predicted on May 28, 2009:

Stanley Cup Prediction: Out With The Old, In With The New, Pittsburgh in 7

OK, enough tasteless bragging but with my pitiful history of sports predictions I had to put this one up.

Stanley Cup Prediction: Out With The Old, In With The New, Pittsburgh in 7

Pittsburgh over Detroit in 7.

The dance partners for this year's Stanley Cup final are now set: "Old" Detroit Red Wings and "New" Pittsburgh Penguins.

Hockey is very much a complete team sport but star players make a huge difference. For my money Detroit's Niklas Lidstrom and Chris Chelios are two of the best defencemen of the last 20 years, if not the two best. Against them, in this Stanley Cup final rematch, are the Pittsburgh Penguins led by scoring stars Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin who will avenge last year's 4 - 2 series loss to Detroit.

I must again confess that I am lousy at making sports predictions and I may have just doomed Pittsburgh by picking them to win instead of Detroit; as I did when I picked France to beat Italy for the last World Cup.

Still, I believe this is the Year of the Kids: Sid the Kid and Geno

Out with the old, in with the new.

Why ABA For Autism?

The effectiveness of ABA-based intervention in ASDs has been well documented through 5 decades of research by using single-subject methodology21,25,27,28 and in controlled studies of comprehensive early intensive behavioral intervention programs in university and community settings.29–40 Children who receive early intensive behavioral treatment have been shown to make substantial, sustained gains in IQ, language, academic performance, and adaptive behavior as well as some measures of social behavior, and their outcomes have been significantly better than those of children in control groups.31–4

Dr. Jon Poling : Blinders Won’t Reduce Autism

"Fortunately, the ‘better diagnosis’ myth has been soundly debunked. ... only a smaller percentage of this staggering rise can be explained by means other than a true increase.

Because purely genetic diseases do not rise precipitously, the corollary to a true autism increase is clear — genes only load the gun and it is the environment that pulls the trigger. Autism is best redefined as an environmental disease with genetic susceptibilities."

We should be investing our research dollars into discovering environmental factors that we can change, not more poorly targeted genetic studies that offer no hope of early intervention. Pesticides, mercury, aluminum, several drugs, dietary factors, infectious agents and yes — vaccines — are all in the research agenda.
