"Police say the gunman who opened fire at Michigan state university Monday, killing three students, was heavily armed and apparently holding some grudges. Police have revealed more details about 43 year old Anthony mccray, described as a loner who shot and killed himself when approached by officers, hours after the shooting. McRae did not verbalize anything to the officers. Michigan state police lieutenant Rene Gonzalez says when they searched his body they found a bus ticket to handguns to empty gun magazines and plenty more ammunition. 8 loaded magazines of 9 millimeter ammunition along with a pencil sized pouch containing 50 rounds. Campus, deputy police chief Chris rosman says the guns were legally purchased. But they were not registered. Police aren't giving a definitive motive, but say notes and mccray's pocket listed businesses, including places he had been asked to leave. Possibly a

He signed them all and went locker to locker and left them on the seats, thinking like Frank white and George Brett, what they really need in their lives is an autographed picture of some 22 year old. And how mccray was the DH in his last year with the and he goes around following Bo and he takes the pictures and starts throwing them up in the air and everyone starts throwing their own pictures up in the air. And George Brett looks around and he takes four of them and hangs him up by his locker. Everyone else is chucks him away. He was arrogant, but he was cocky. He was confident. He was not arrogant. He was very confident. I had an opportunity to first time I interviewed him. He had won the Heisman. And I was working at CNN sat down and did an interview. And he had a really bad stuttering problem. And so you didn't really know about him, what you knew is what you watched with boat. And he wasn't effusive. I kind of careful in what he was saying and how he was saying it. But later on, I played golf with him and Jim McMahon. Oh, wow. And Bo putts one handed. And he was great because I let McMahon and Bo talk because being a reporter or journalist. I wanted them to just have fun. So we were playing a round of golf in Chicago. And I just remember Bo punting one handed and I asked, I said, why are you putting one handed? He goes, we'll look at how well you put two handed. Oh, that's awesome. And I was like, oh, okay. But he was telling stories back then, whereas, you know, he probably wouldn't have done that if it was just me and somebody else. But with McMahon, McMahon was able to talk, talk to him and get him to be a little bit more forthcoming. Wait, Dan, you know, you know how you and I in media.

Yeah, I think winter running can be enjoyable in its own way. Yeah, it's just kind of wrapping your head around the fact that it's going to be cold and probably some inclement conditions being prepared for different scenarios.

"Happened, but if I had to pick one, I used to be very, I want this. I want that. I really want, you know, whatever company I was working on, and whenever goals that I had, I set all these things out. And then I said, well, let's think about how much money in my time. I don't know how I came across this idea. I started writing down my time. How many hours I slept, what I did when I woke up, okay, I did this, and then, you know, I would go eat food and then I would go to school and then I would I would go hang with Friends for an hour or two and I would do some homework and I'd play some video games or when I was older, you know, go out, whatever it was. And I added it all up and it's like, I'm spending two hours on my goals here. I'm like, spending time eating and I'm spending time I'm sleeping 8 hours a day and I'm going out and playing games or any of this, right? What am I doing? How does it make any sense? So I just started cutting out all the crap. And started being extremely focused. And that was one of the reasons why I dropped out of school because it was a complete waste of time, but nothing towards my goals. So I didn't want to have school getting the way my education. So I just cut that and I cut playing out all those other crab. I stopped doing nothing with friends. They stopped taking one hour lunges, and I have dinners, stopped all that shit. And I started grinding and I started optimizing every time I optimize my sleep. I did a lot of sleep hacks, so I put down my sleeve a lot. I did a lot of exercise to help you my energy levels up. And so I started optimizing in my time and then I just felt like I went from having two hours to 18 hours a day, hyper focused on my goals and then those goals. And then my 18 hours were even better than my two hours because I just felt like I was sharper and stronger. And so when I started to optimize my time, be objective of how much time I spend doing everything that was when I started churning through these problems and that was the change. So you know, I mean, if I can do anything, I'd say start earlier, but in the end, I don't regret anything, all the dumb mistakes dumb ideas, things that I've done. I love I love those mistakes. I love learning from it. I'm a trial by doing kind of guy. And so I don't regret any of the dumb shit I did just looking forward to learning from that and optimizing it and growing. So in the end,.

"So yeah, you know, look, anything can happen. So we're absolutely focusing on execution and on delivering of this. And we're not for sale. So we're very excited to go and build this value. And I do think longer term with our ambitions and with our growth and with the potential, we're long term independent, you know? There's being a measurement and currency, optimization based company, you have to be independent. So if you think about it structurally, long term being a company that can be independent and viable is where we have to be. So that could be long-term private. It could be long-term public. But either way, our focus is creating optionality and investing and we'll do the best structure corporately that helps us achieve the mission. But nothing's off the table. And I don't know if they're already as a company whose stock ticker is AMP, but that should really be your stock ticker, I think. I think someone does have it. I think it might. I do that. That's too bad. That'd be good. But I appreciate it. Maybe you can give me some other suggestions. I'll think of something. Let me know. When you're going public, give me, give me the heads up, and I'll come up with a ticket for you. So I don't know if this is an insane question, but is there any world any universe? Any timeline in which video amp ever partners with Nielsen in any way? I mean, or is that just that doesn't make any sense? Maybe. You know, maybe. I think this industry is already used to frenemies. And you never know. I think historically, they haven't been I think they've tried to bring everything in creative verticalized solution and maybe they change their minds. But I don't know. I think for us, there's going to be a lot of things emerging..

So I'm curious how far into the alphabet of Ceres is video planning to go. And then also why you guys decided to raise again now. I mean, I kind of know the answer, the opportunity is very hot, but just talk about that a little bit. Yeah. You know, I never thought we'd be at F that's for sure. I could tell you that, you know, so my predictions are clearly bad. But why we decided to raise again, the truth is we weren't. We weren't all. We were really focused. And we have enough cash even before this to go on. And we have this been grinding and building. I mean, we're very fortunate the company has been growing at an average of a 100% year over year since we started over the last 5 5 and a half years since we've been to market. And the company is doing well and we're hiring a lot and we're driving in and most of our revenue as a sort of alluded to a little bit in the beginning was more so on the measurement side on the advertisers and agencies. But what's happened with this push towards all these trends and the industry asking people to become alternative currencies. You know, there's a lot of RFPs going out there from the networks and everyone sort of coming together in the industry is just deciding that this is the thing we want to talk about. It kind of reminds me like programmatic in 2012, or 13s. Now it's alternative currencies and everyone's major focus. So given that we have already been in a leadership position in terms of alternative measurement and attribution and living in a big data first approach, which is basically the blueprint everyone's asking for currency, we clearly said, all right, sure..

This week, we've got Ross mccray on the podcast, the very energetic CEO and founder of video amp, which is the audience measurement company that's, well, choose your imagery. It's angling for a slice of Nielsen's market share. It's looking to wear the measurement crown. It's aiming to knock Nielsen off its legacy perch. Advertisers and broadcasters need to meet the challenges posed by changes in the way people consume media and content. And video M founded not that long ago in 2014 wants to be the company that helps them do that in Ross's view. It's time for a new currency. But what does it actually mean to take on a Titan like Nielsen? Let's find out. Ross welcome to the podcast. Thanks for having me.

But you can learn that about you just from looking at your LinkedIn page. So I want something else. I want something about Ross mccray that might surprise people. Sure. What about video aunt being my 43rd business? How's that? How is there enough time in the years you've lived on earth to have done that? Yeah.

"Bringing good news to a fallen loss distressed oppressed humanity. He came to set the captives free. There are some other beliefs that are held by quote unquote evangelical persons, for instance, anti abortion stance or pro life stance and black folk someone ask me the other day, how do you address the pro life movement? I say, well, we are pro life and pro choice. We are pro holistic life in the womb. All the way through the whole continuity of life to the brave. White evangelicals, they have latched on to being pro life that is anti abortion, but they have not been concerned for life beyond the womb. That is the poor, the have nots, not concerned about the wealth gap that exists in this country. And so there are a number of issues where black evangelicals would take different kinds of stance than white evangelicals do. Doctor mccray, one of the things I noticed when the attackers at the capitol were there, they had Trump Jesus for Trump. Yeah, Jesus for Trump signs. They had crosses. Jesus 2020. And at one point, the QAnon shaman stopped to pray when they were in, once they got in the Senate, they stopped to have a moment of prayer. He took off his horns, and they had a moment of prayer. And I said to myself, what is it? How is it that this is the Christianity that would take up arms, beat people with flags and go and harm people under the banner of Christianity? What kind of Christianity is that? Yeah, the prescriptions talk about that as an apostasized form of Christianity. The scriptures refer to that as folk who have a form of religion a form of religion, but deny the power thereof. These are the same and it tells you to turn away from that. We sing a Negro spiritual, I got shoes, you got shoes, all the guys children got shoes. When I get to having gone put on my shoes going to walk all over God's heaven, heaven, then it says everybody talking about heaven ain't going there. You see, we must understand that there's a deception that is taking place. The same ones who attempted the coup through the insurrection, these persons are also conspiracists, QAnon. And so they go away from facts. They go from truth even as Trump has done over 25,000 lives and misrepresentations and still counting. The ex-president, if you intellectualize truth, if you take truth away from personification, you can do anything with information. And that is what has taken place with Trump and Trump ism. And his sickle fence and adherence to his ideology. They've removed true from real life from personification. All right, Jesus said, if you want to know what truth is, look at me. What did he come to do? He came to gospel out of the poor. He came to liberate the captives. He came to set the oppressed free came to heal the broken and he came to feed the multitude. He came to welcome strangers..

As I record this, his death is being investigated as a possible drug overdose. Like so many of his fans. I first saw him on the HBO series the Wire in which he gave a riveting and charismatic performance as Omar Little, a stickup man who robbed drug dealers who were in no position to complain to the police. He often walked through the streets in a long coat carrying a shotgun. He was feared because he was fearless. What Omar wasn't respected for in the hood was being gay. Williams also co starred in the HBO series Boardwalk Empire as chalky white, a powerful bootlegger in Atlantic City during Prohibition, and in the night of as an inmate who controlled the prison block on Rikers Island. And when they see us, he played Bobby McCray, the father of Antron McCray, one of five youths wrongfully convicted on charges related to the rape of a woman jogging in Central Park in 1989.

We'll start with the interview were recorded in 2008 during the final season of the wire, which followed the intertwining stories of Baltimore politicians, cops, drug dealers and the teenagers who sold the drugs on the corners. One turning points in the series was one, Omar's boyfriend was murdered, setting off a cycle of retribution. In this scene. Omar, with a gun in each hand crashes through the door of a card game run by Marleau, the most powerful drug dealer in West Baltimore. All right, Let me see them hands..

"Right it racially. Get more violent and The problem was strangulation. it's just has such a ripple effect because first of all you only about fifteen percent of strangulation. Injuries are visible to the naked eye. So if you don't house a police force this trained to recognize those other signs or you don't have a forensic nurse exam available twenty four seven you may not you may downplay an incident and then the prosecutor looks at the police report that has downplayed that incident. And you you can imagine what happens in court at the same time strangulation where you actually cut off the air. Way to someone's brain right if you if you put enough pressure there is a cumulative injury and so over time you really hard You really are adjusting like the brain makeup of a victim. They these are. These are people who have traumatic brain injuries undiagnosed and so they go to court and they have bad memories or their stories change or they can't you know they can't. I've talked to women who lost their ability to read for example and they lose their children so strangulation it becomes such an important marker and yet we don't we don't train as as a sort of national protocol all our police on strangulation. And you know something that i think is so hard as somebody who suffered from severe. Ptsd honestly because of that is. I have found myself getting very nervous anytime something turns physical that. It's going to go to that place again and i don't really trust myself to not get into another relationship that maybe wouldn't be abusive because i didn't see the signs the first time around.

Are they trying to get me. To spend less. Time with my girlfriends are they. Do they appear Jealous of things that are hobbies since mine or do they celebrate the individuality and the passions. That i hold in my life. Do they celebrate the fact that i go that. I'm on a roller derby team. That they can't be part of. I just made that up on a roller derby celebrating those things in my life that bring richness to my life that they can't be part of I would say that. That's that's one of the things and also like we're seeing now. In the pandemic so many relationships that may have appeared to be a lot more. Egalitarian and women are carrying the brunt of all that invisible work. And i would look. I would look at that kind.

I don't wanna come out on this as i don't wanna you know right right well and you get to interface with executives and executive sponsors and then there's this wonderful event that you have every year called the er g. conference and it is so amazing. I was so jealous that i missed the last two years. It is an awesome event. And some of you as hands of these organizations. Get to introduce the chairman and the ceo. It's quite an i remember. Seeing the president of hossain moss. Introduce randall. When he was still there and i mean what an honor you get to take pictures with them and you know talk it up with them for those of you. That don't know when a company this size it is a huge deal to be able to get that close to the chairman and ceo. It is The g. now either easy conference is i. Think the enemy of Diversity and inclusion like you see this group like this you know we take over this hotel take a you know in this big ballroom where everybody greets and i remember. I know that there is a twenty maybe is maybe twenty eighteen to twenty nineteen Anyway one of the video real that they have and you see a shot where they pant across the whole audience in radio comes out. You know he's talking in. Houston something like You know this grew in this room. You guys are what america looks like. It was twenty six eighty. We'd never forget because that was the year that randall got up and did the speech that would be a part of his legacy for ever and literally. He stood up and said black lives matter before a lot of people in corporate america. Actually and you go into. That room was just omar ga this this history right like this isn't impactful but i think that. Yeah it really. Is it really humanizes because nobody you know you don't think about when i started at t. In two thousand four. I never thought that. I would be in the same room with his l let alone have a conversation being able to have one on one or even know small group chats with the a t and t executive leaders and i think for the company q take such an interest into see the importance to really make time like you are not too busy or this event like it is a thing that to also I think it really speaks to eighteen years company in the importance of diversity including the importance of making sure that the employees are heard that they have a voice in that they're able to seek up an even now in The twenty twenty wake with doors four now with the trial. I'm have never been so many meetings right. If about time.

And i did and i'm okay with amazing. Yeah the driving. Come colour over arkan culture nasa cute company. And you're gonna have your little patches of people who aren't on board in general. It comes from the leadership. You're going to see that people are actually reaching out and they're trying to have these conversations. There's dying you know that said experience where you invite people to lunch that are different from you and man those conversations they bind you for life right. It's just a beautiful beautiful thing now. Tell the people being. Ceo of the network really isn't your nine to five job. You have something else that you to tell me. Do i do some other things.

Great family that we depend on each other and we're not talking about business right. We're having fun. we're laughing joking. We know trying to get to know each others families in some cases.

"Guys are different. Tell us something about that for eighteen t right so employees groups so we have to have the er jeez which is employee resource groups of may are five. Oh one c. threes. They do receive funding from from the company in the way for people to find an identifiable relationship in identifiable group Ert's are opening even though we are the black yarn aren't we are open to all. At and t. employees. It gives you it really does give you an opportunity to find something in connect the heart of whether it's like mindedness whether it's he. I wanna know more about that. I want to eat understanding. I think it really allows for that growth in any force being hughes on volunteerism getting out and worry and then we have our employees networks which are more from the business aspect of partnerships and developing career development in all of that nato volunteer. Thanks to for sure But just really given think eddie groups in general as far as ata d is concerned. It set up in a way to help. People connects to build those relationships whether it's networking like i said whether it's just finding people who are like you whether it's just learning about something that you never known about. I'm a member of samos which are hispanic group of course women of. At and t. But even also with that abilities which are disabilities group. I don't have a disability. But i know people that do i connect with that and so i wanna make sure that i'm being supported. Eighteenth veterans You know inspiration. You know right now. We are definitely wrapping our arms around them For schumer and just in really it's like we all are you know we have our respective That we are fighting for a working in. We still come together in partnership in. We're supporting one another in. It's truly an amazing experience. I don't think happens at a lot of other companies. And i think that that is why eighteen geez. It's moving forward in ending a leader in diversity and inclusion welling. Yeah let's face it. There were what twelve you guys. The last time. I checked i used to joke. It was like the twelve disciples. Yeah very very much growing ingram. Yeah we've added a couple more than you know are coming coming along it. It is just so this. I just never. I was probably with the company for a little while before i knew about. Ert's in egypt groups but it is phenomenal experience. I think i heard somebody say the other day. I was on the call. And they were saying how the yards eager kinda like a fraternities and sororities. Only not everybody's reading there. Yeah we also support each other. It really does remind me of the nine right like everybody has their own thing. But we're all one and we're all working together. So i thought that was i was like okay. It's beautiful. I used to get invitations from the api groups to come and speak. There are a few of them faces. Inspiration there's some others but it was always always awesome to be able to fellowship with them because this is the thing this is one of the key elements that helps this company. Get to the top of the diversity. Top fifty companies in diversity. It really is what the work that these er jeez do and the way the company supports them. It's also about the role that you play as an ambassador across all of the er cheese and even to executive leadership. Do you wanna talk about that. First thing i will say is I was not reading for anita Updated that lithium is a joke about all the time. Because i was the coo the operating officer the right hand. I am used to joke. The enforcer right so it would be you know. She's the phase in in whatever she said. And then you see me puck behind her what she said. Let's get it done so snapping into this role. I'm channeling all of my inner though. I prefer not to be you know in the front in that you know. But she was so great at it and just so at that and not no definitely not to make this about her but she is a huge part of why. I'm sitting in the seat of why i say that you know what okay i i can do this. You know it. We all the time and she can say you know you're going have to do this. I'm not here now when you're not here here i'm not you know we're going to be sitting in. The seat is in honor. It is extremely humbling experience. I think that being the face of the network has been something that i certainly don't take lightly. I really do. Make sure that. I am always you know. Then i'm living ran right than i'm making sure that whatever it is talking to now whatever it is. I'm doing whether i'm talking to somebody in the hall when i was at the office but You know or whether it's on a podcast that i'm a representative of the network and eighteen. I think that it's just been Very exciting very interesting of hughes learning experience. I know i could. I think i'm probably murdering tj every. Oh listen you you did so well when you said this or you did not a number like out just i just in the moment i m sisters the lord agenda what somebody.

"Your members. Yeah we we have a culture. I think as a people are tired but one of the things that is so amazing about us in what i feel like is the fear from those are not allies. And don't understand. Is that regardless of what we are resilient we are we persevere in his yes this happened but i still gotta go to work. I still gotta raise. My kids is still gotta get out here in. You know. Make it happen or my future. I think that there is a level of exhaustion of just really how much longer and then you see in the age of the internet where everything is more accessible. I think we also are hopeful. You know this manage that. Okay it's in your face you cannot act like you don't see this or you're not aware of this and so i think there is or are people in for the network in our conversations. We are really really trying to take the opportunity to educate and for those who you know who wants to listen who wanted lard and want to know. Wanna take that opportunity to share that information with them. Do so we're tired. We're always tired right like this event new for us. But i think that we see a little bit of hope in. Wanna hold onto that and grab onto Trying to push an organization push that message forward to really link up an ally because it only changes if everybody comes together you don't get ask stuff here. That's really good stuff you know. You mentioned the word resilience and you have nailed it generation over generation. This is something that we bring to the table. As black people let alone black professionals. We have learned Going back beyond grandmothers grandfathers who struggled. We're still standing. And that is the very definition of resilience. Sappho you mean that's what you're taught to do. I can remember the a you know. A kid You know. I have four brothers and sisters. I'm the oldest. And you know my mom were our you know. Our dad ramstad everybody working. So i'm the oldest from the culture to you take care of the youngest right. Gotta help do that. So i'm i remember doing. I remember you know being being frustrated of been not working or not going my way or or knowing that. hey. I really should've gotten this. Opportunity are really. Shouldn't you know my mom Unfortunately you know this is the way it is. But you know we're hoping for change but saying inside of never let anybody tell you different. You're not any less than just always. It's deland that you've got you. If you fall down if you get pushed down you have to get like. You can't lay your mambo snatch you up. i'm not for to is just. It's ingrain the flip side of that is resilience. you know. there's some other thing that comes with it. And that is the psychological trauma that brings you to that point. And i've been noticing where network national has been creating space for people to have an outlet and even learn how to deal with these things. I even noticed that the dallas chapter is going to some outdoor venue. I think is san dada where they're to have a little time. Let down their hair. But they're going to talk to an expert about how to handle these things absolutely. I'm so excited For the things that are going on in the w this year and even in metro atlanta in los angeles in the all of our attackers are really focused on trying trying to figure out not to start healing but the continuation process right. Because we are doing that in our twenty. Twenty one priorities really. Speak to what it is that we're trying to do the goal to you to streamline how do we make things simple happy make things a little bit easier for everybody. We're also talking about Garelli making sure they were growing revenue. So we can continue to make the impact in the communities. We can support these programs for mental health. And you know even have these little with the young people used to call them. They all now kickbacks where you can now listen to some music having time unwinding. You need them music. Also he's part of our culture so into just continue to focus to deliver that cutting edge career development for our members working on know making sure that they have the information that they need them. They know the tools and resources. That are big cool to them. Increasing our involvement in the community Now more than ever with the virtual environment there have been some things right that we can't do because we can't get together but that virtual space. I think we have an opportunity to make an impact because now people gone is the excuse of you gotta get up and get dressed in a dry downtown find parking. No i'm going to be on their hop on his time. And you can be a part of it in so that is what we want to make. Sure that we're capitalizing on that opportunity to continue to engage in our community and also just lived the brand talk a little bit about this. Nineteen the fiftieth anniversary. That was the enemy. Right of that was leading. That is the network. Is that where we've come from. You know fifty two years now in july of this year. We want to continue to be that light. Be we want to be the the organization that other people look to win. Which i've gotten i've had meetings in How are you guys doing what you're doing. You guys have been around for fifty plus years. What can you say and we wanna be that. Wanna be recognizable in the community community as a help elliot here so i'm so so proud and so excited of are proud of you because this is one of the reasons why even wanted to have you on you know the network. National is one of the oldest if not the oldest employee resource group at. At and t. Y'all got to understand this is. At this mob bell going all the way back to alexander. Graham bell and lewis latimer. I'm talking that old. This company has been around. And you know it's not just present day network national we're talking about all the legacy companies that became a part of. At and t. whether it's direct tv or pac bell some of these baby bells that you know they don't have groups like this and they came together to form the network national and so since so many people you know. Some people may not be familiar with what an employee resource group is. Some people call them. Er you've heard me say that over and over again instill there are other folks and other companies.

She is the ceo of the employee resource group for black americans than anybody else who wants to be all about what's black at. At and t. It's called the network national. She's the ceo and my goodness. It's one of the ones out there so great to have you gina. Hey thanks for having me so excited to be here to be a part of this experience with my first podcast. Like wow. that's awesome. I'm so honored to have you on. You should do more of them. But tina i met. It was awesome so it was back in twenty twenty and a few other organizations that asked me to speak. We had just gone virtual and so much had changed. I mean we've going through the pandemic and of course people were losing jobs. People were dying. But you know what everybody went digital. What kind of shifts were you guys. Having to make a lot. Twenty twenty was really really heavy for a lotta people but specifically for The network. And i know that You are also aware by our ceo. Taylor suddenly passed away. She was not just ceo network. But you know she was. My friend was my sister. Vacationed together families knew each other in all of that so it was to be in the middle of the pandemic in have that happen in then no culminating with george floyd and was extremely heavy and i think we as an organization we were just hurt in just in deep mourning but china perseveres trying to go. And what would the show us. What would you say right well. Let's do you know move forward and so it was white wider quite a year. I really felt that. I really felt it. In fact at the beginning of this show. I did a monologue with a moment of silence. For latino taylor you know. She was a member of the nfc coaching community. And you know. In general i am bound by confidentiality not to discuss clients and their information. But you know president circumstances he know so many people were dying during the pandemic and then here we go life happens. You know you forget that life includes death already before the pandemic and oh my gosh. My heart just broke and felt it. But she was just on the verge of a breakthrough. She was on the verge of incredible things to come and then she just came off the incredible fiftieth anniversary of the network national event that you guys had in dc. I gotta tell you. I was so jealous because that was one. I really didn't wanna miss. But you know things half of the way they do. It was in yamanaka. Like i really us everything that we did that Twenty nineteen was right. Our fiftieth year. So we did that. Year impacted the fiftieth anniversary and was flawless. Every single thing that happened it was amazing. I'm so grateful for twenty nineteen especially coming through twenty minutes twenty. I'm thinking i have you know you think about all. I wish i would have said. I wish i would have done that. I wish i would have gotten to do this. And obviously we wanted more time to be able. But i understood glad that just for he for and with the network we got to stand all twenty must stop and kind of end of the year with a trip to you know to napa. It was twenty nine hundred. i'm. I'm just so grateful for that year to have had that into see the network be fifty years into the oldest i e r g just amount of love and support that we got it was truly a black excellence. Twenty nineteen thousand. Nine hundred was an amazing year. And you know let's see. I got to know each other so well that year. We got to know each other so well but we knew each other before we you know as colleagues and of course. She called me on a couple of occasions to speak. And i won't forget that wonderful event one of my last opportunities to sit with other african american leaders there at. At and to speak to the membership it was amazing. It was well before we get to into a gina. What do you say we have a culture suit moment yes. Let's do it awesome. So i'm always looking at the threads always combing through social media to see what people are talking about. And you know i talk about the three beast of the apocalypse in my book and often on the podcast and just to review its that catastrophic failure in leadership at the highest office in our country which we've gotten a little remedy from but then we still have some issues at the state local level in many of our states and cities but then of course we have the pandemic which is another beast and that's the health crisis that is coupled along with economic crisis in job loss and then finally we've got this rebuke on anti blackness We started to see it. After the. George george floyd killing and now we're in the midst of the derek chauvin trial to see if they will find him guilty. We all saw it on tv. And now you know. We've seen several different. Instances where people who are black or brown have been stopped killed. Mace there was an army lieutenant. Over in virginia that was stopped in maced for seemingly no reason at all what is going on so now we are also seeing people standing up and saying that. It's not right when it comes to racism against the api community. There's so much going on. So what i wanna know this as black professionals who are still trying to show up to work whether it's virtually or in person and be normal like. How do you do that during this time. That is full of so much psychological trauma before you even leave the house. What are you hearing from.

Talking about my girl taylor. Swift sold her music catalog to what's his name scooter braun. Oh yeah and then complains. After bob dylan sold his music library for three hundred million dollars. That's right And by the way He sold is popularly. Seventy eight which is another one of those amazing miracles. The bob dylan still around still kicking. Well did you hear what he said about this jerry region. But here's what's going to happen you me. We'll be watching You know football game. We're watching wednesday night football thursday night football tuesday night. Football game mini mini games That around these days and there's gonna be a commercial for flow or he'll be commercial for you name it Gimme gimme some tv for apple apple. Lot of apple commercials. That's a good one apple amazon target. And it'll be Some of my friend is blowing in the wind blowing in the wind or something blue. What's blue some blue jet blue. And they'll be tangled up in blue. You'll go what bob dylan. His stuff is going to be of vera readily available companies to put in tv commercials. Because bob dylan sold out. It's bob dylan's if you don't like it if you think you know that he's Not that kind of guy that he wouldn't ever seventy-nine by the way he sold out. He took the money. God bless him his family's gonna why he needs the money but his family is going to be fabulously wealthy for generations but companies like target nap bullen and whatever flow what is flow sell insurance. Press gress yes i defense. They're going to be able to play. Dylan's pay whatever the going rate is and they could play it and you'll hear it all over the place just like you here. You know the rolling stones in some cases or taylor swift and other artists who was amazing. When i read the story it was about some of the other artists of fleetwood. Mac sold theirs for like. I get the number here here. It is eighty million dollars they sold. It wasn't even the whole catalog eighty million dollars. Fleetwood mac and dillon skate. Like columbine could probably name more wallflower songs and he can bog way. Bob dole i. It's right over my head. I have no idea i look. I'm surprised he got three hundred million. Based on the fact that that ship has sailed a long time ago dylan receives a lump sum between two hundred and four hundred I'm not sure what the what. The stevie nicks sold their publishing catalog for eighty million dollars. The dylan portfolio six hundred songs while other bands who have sold their catalogs sold. You know taking the money. Blondie barry manilow and the estates of john lennon and kurt cobaine. I believe john lennon the beatles. Paul mccartney bought them for like a ridiculous amount of money Like eight hundred million. Paul mccartney owns well. Didn't jackson by michael jackson and then mccray jackson and a falling out story there. But there's only one to look up jerry. Three hundred million eighty million two hundred to four hundred million. What did what did brian. Wilson's father sell the beach boys catalogue for another against the wishes without the kids. Even knowing and i think he sold it for like seventy dollars and a coke or something new never spoke to his father again obviously but if the beach boys is the one you would want because of the catchy jingles. Yeah that's true point and that the father sold it for nothing. He had no idea what he had. And what the value of wasn't a guy goes. Hey i'm gonna dig deep here. I'll give you five hundred dollars. Whereas i sold and brian wilson was never the same after it happened. It's a good point. But i think dylan's got a lot of those you know catch even though they you know might be whatever. The revolutionary songs at times they are a change in blowing in the wind and songs like that which will which will fit nicely in commercials. And we'll be sick of them all with and i'm sure he had control over it and limited the exposure but i guarantee you. He sold the rights to some two songs to some commercials.

Re-Thinking Church Missions
"All through the history of the Church of Christ. There has been a ceaseless struggle to maintain the truth that is a quote from Alan McRae Twentieth Century Presbyterian Churchmen and Biblical scholar. He learned that quote firsthand. He was with J Gresham Machen as a student at Princeton Seminary in the late nineteen twenty s and when Mason left Princeton in one across the Delaware River over to Philadelphia to found Westminster Theological Seminary. Mcrae went along with them and a few years later in one thousand nine thirty six when Mason. Who was ousted from the Presbyterian church U S and he formed a new church the Orthodox Presbyterian church well McRae went along with him again. So what was the issue in the Nineteen Thirties and specifically in nineteen thirty six mccray is about this ceaseless struggle to maintain the truth. Will broadly speaking. The issue was liberalism and cultural progressivism This had been at work in the Presbyterian Church USA and many other denominations as well at the time from the eighteen nineties on through the roaring twenties. Mason battled it at Princeton and he was battling it. Within the denomination narrowly. Speaking the issue was missions in nineteen thirty to the fall of nineteen thirty two. A report was issued entitled Rethinking Missions. This report was then published fully in nineteen thirty three no fewer than seven volumes published by Harper again under the title rethinking missions. This project was all funded by John. D Rockefeller it had representatives from seven key positions on mission boards. In seven denominations participated. This document had two major parts. One was based on a fact finding mission and just spoke of the state of missions and the conditions of places three places in particular China and India. Japan were studied the second part raised new ways. That mission should be done and challenge the old ways that missions was being done in a nutshell. What this document wanted to promote was to advance spiritual idealism social brotherhood Economic Welfare and Cultural Unity. The rethinking part means that to think of missions as simply the Great Commission the Proclamation of the Gospel to every tribe to every nation that is too narrow and in fact has been wrong headed we need a different mission. Different approach that represents the realities of the twentieth century so missions needs to be rethought well. This deeply troubled J. Gresham mation. He saw in this and denial of the Gospel and he couldn't believe that not only did his own mission board of the Presbyterian Church U s not only did it not refute this document but it had key representatives. Who are part of it and were promoting it. This was also the time of the missionary. Pearl Buck in nineteen thirty two. She had just won the Pulitzer Prize. She was a very significant figure in American culture and she was a Presbyterian missionary. Who denied the Atonement of Christ the Deity of Christ the authority of Scripture and all of this just perplexed Mason and so he challenged his denomination. He wrote a one hundred and ten page pamphlet to go along with an overture that he introduced in his presbytery and he wanted the Presbyterian Church to refute this document. They didn't and so. In one thousand nine hundred thirty three he formed the independent board of Presbyterian foreign missions that eventually led to his ouster from his denomination and so in Nineteen ninety-six once he was defrocked he just formed a new denomination the Orthodox Presbyterian church six months later January one nineteen thirty seven. Mason died but his commitment to the church and his commitment to the Gospel was evident there in that action of standing against the tide of his denomination and standing for the Gospel. He did not want to rethink missions but rather in the twentieth century he wanted to reaffirm the mission of the Church and the Great Commission. Well that was mentioned in one thousand nine hundred eighty three. And I'm Steve Nichols and thanks for joining us. For Five minutes purchased

Tumors and their Entourage: Exploring the Tumor Microenvironment
"Cancer Research is a complex in ever evolving field one of the most promising research areas involves the habitat that cancer is able to create for itself which is known as the tumor micro environment to discuss this topic. I've brought in Vienna Jenkinson Director of Science at Charles Rivers portishead site. She has over a decade of experience in the fields of oncology and immunology and she has agreed to talk with me about what exactly the tumor micro environment is and and how we can exploit it to treat cancer. Welcome rhiannon thank. You see me to stay today. Thank you for coming. So let's just start with the basics six. What is the tumor micro environment? So when we think that chairman Momaday on we often maybe think of all of tumor cells so quite a genius in the way that it's formed and these cells really foam from our normal cells which being incorrectly programmed maybe gone bad resulting in them growing up normally taytay an affecting the normal function of our organ all tissue but really the reality is a lot more complex as often is in these scenarios. I'm really uh not more different cell types get recruited by the missiles into the moncur environments to the tumor cells themselves along with these other south types. And the extra study in a mate checks at the cell. sit-in form the Cheema Might Kerr environments so then that raises the question of what are the cell types in the tme. and and why are they. They're severely if we think of the Cheema styles what they're trying to do is survive on and gray said to do this. They need gray. Factors this nutrients and sell staff is signals from types. So as they grow they send out signals and this results in other cell types coming to the Cheema not an infiltrating into the sort of Chima cells to form a tomb amass in addition in the Magrao's it might results into she strasse S. or dangerous signals and this results in the immune system which is constantly surveying the bulge coming along to see what's going on and that rain really is which tax help on these dangerous signals resulting in killing of the Cheema cells so the body is like attacking the tumor but is the tumor able to use news. Those attacks to its own advantage sometimes. Yes that's right side. Whilst I hope would be that the immune cells come in an act against the Shema resulting in killing the reality. Is that the tumor fights back against this. And what it does is generates immunosuppressive environment. Soup one in Wichita riches. Switches the T.. Cells off on the other immune cells and really on subverts them to support the Does this immunosuppressive effect extend then beyond the tumor micro environment to the rest of the body or is it pretty localized. It tends to be localized to the actual Chima micro environment itself. Because we've got to remember that the cells the at the a very very specific on full the tumor itself so it generates sort of a small niche weather cells. Become we'd programmed an influenced by the environment itself. So what does having all of these different types of cells present help us. When we're thinking about ways to inhibit tumor growth? So when we're thinking about inhibiting CI mccray we can think of to on strategies very broadly so the first strategy and the one that's traditionally Russian people total. When they were thinking of drugs? That could talk at the Cheema. would-be Chuma intrinsic mechanisms. So those would be therapies. which would die? We talk the Cheema sales but now we can think about hole of a subset of therapies and these are the ones that will be talked to the other cell types which within the Cheema Might Cram Graham varmints best supporting achievement rife so if we can impact on that function then then now supporting the Cheema and we can even turn theirselves against the Cheema and then that way we can fight back. So it's like you're killing the protection around the tumor and therefore leading the body. Do its natural natural thing and defending against the tumor. Yes that's right so effectively. We're reactivating on the immune response as it is and we will send may be switching the phenotype five of some of the other cell types. which in the Huma so we can think as well as the immune system we can think of the vascular cells? The within the Cheema Might Kerr Garment. Nice saleslady that and they form the Bulls of the blood vessels. They supply the medicament new chance. Perhaps that could be a target cutting off the food supply yet and changing the metabolism. So you could think about strategies by talking yourselves we can say. Think about lymphatic. endothelial cells those form part and emphatic drainage they're taking away debris and metabolites from the tumor itself essentially keeping the environment mclane so again if we could impact on that then we might impact on the amount of danger signals that the chew Miss Generating Sort of the other cell types would be cancerous icy I took five glass. So CAIN FIBERGLASS and normally they're voting but these ones have been subjected to produce despite fat to lay down extra study in a matrix such smooth muscle up ten Collagen If we could talk at these cell types than we talk potentially attention to the framework in which sits and again. It's sort of just about mobilizing those cells and reprogramming them effectively to stop then and helping matchy mccray okay. So we've got the cells. That are helping the tumor get fed. We've got the cells helping. Keep the tumor environment clean. So what would the role of immune cells be in trying to create a therapy based on targeting the tumor micro environment. Tma Chima micro environments often contains on several different types of immune cells. But as we just mentioned the tumor really acts to switch these cells off it wants to survive that wants to grow and then the opposite of the immune system. It's coming in there. It's looking for danger. Signals nuys the team as abnormal. So it wants to go back to its job of killing the Cheema Sales The the two must sort of in a way that it's able to educate on the immune cells ineffective be switched them all in a goal that you have the selective pressure of having the immune system and then the tumor adapts to type with sales in the micro environments support. We often end dot webs Chima which has been infiltrated by mean cells. He's at the team. has actually influenced these cells to become regulatory uh-huh suppressive or switched off and clearly the role of a lot. It's therapies with Ben's Bay either to switch southbound colon ole to drive an the influx of new fresh immune cells into the Environments Obesity just get cells sort of right into the Tumor Micro Environment Rothman perhaps just sitting around the edge itself. There's a few different strategies. We can thank cope when thinking of the immune system in the context of Chima

Another Prominent Conversion Therapy Centre Founder Has Come Out as Gay
"Did you guys hear about the leader of the ex gay conversion therapy movement who came out as this gay last week and apologized other gay people for the lies and the army done was that Oh no no no not not Michael Busey and Gary Cooper those homos almost co-founded Exodus International Nineteen seventy-six for decades exodus with the world's largest ex gay ministry but just three years after co founding it boosting Cooper came out what is gay and got married well. They got commitment ceremony which was the best idea at the time and apologized other gay people harm they done and the lies that they told was that no no. I'm not talking about Alan Chambers either. He was the last guy to exodus international became the president of the organization in two thousand and one and then shut the thing down twenty thirteen at which point he apologized to the gay people who've been harmed by exodus and admitted the conversion therapy doesn't work chambers didn't come out as gay but he did describe himself at the time is not straight but I wasn't talking about him and I wasn't talking about John. Smith either who was the former director of love and action and other ministry that tried to convert Gable Industry People Smid came out in two thousand eleven married to dude move to Texas and I'm not talking about John. Paulk the founder of loved one out to gay conversion therapy the program run by the Anti Gay hate group is on the family he came out as gay or came out as gay again in two thousand thirteen and I'm not talking about Ben Grisham. Jeremy Marks are Tim Rimal Anthony Van Brown or guenter bomb. All leaders of conversion therapy programs who've come out admitted their programs are ineffective and harmful apologized to the gay community no the former ex gay leader. We are talking about this week. The most recent high profile inductee into the ranks of the ex ex gays also known as the gays is mccray game. The man who founded hope for wholeness back in Nineteen Ninety nine conversion therapy is not just a lie but it's very harmful game told the post and courier baby game should Google Chambers or Paulk or any of the others who came up for him and game went on to say harmful because it is false advertising false advertising not only doesn't conversion therapy work as has the leaders of this crackpot movement reminded every single time they rub one out but it does real harm. Buonarroti people the kind of people these groups prey on have been driven to suicide game pokes mid Marks Chambers Busey Cooper ex gay leaders coming out as gay should really be a dog bites man story at this point joint and yet somehow it isn't people are still shocked shocked to learn that a man who dedicated his life to talking other people out of being gay was released secretly trying to talk himself out of it the whole time protect. Anyone tries to talk. You ought to be engaged actually trying to talk himself out of being gay and not having anymore success with himself that he's having with you but this just in the Washington Post reports that the ex gay Christianity movement is making a comeback. Some prominent Christians are quietly lightly trying to resurrect ex gay Christianity and the new incarnation is hip her and perhaps more evolved yet beneath the cosmetic tweaks sits the same message that has damaged inched many lives over many decades. You see the new X. Gay Movement isn't about being gay. It's not about converting anyone from homosexuality heterosexuality SWALEC. They've tried that and failed again and again and no one is buying that any more so they're evolving away from that the old ex gay movement put up billboards that said changes possible the ex gay movement according to The Washington Post has a new message changes possible and necessary Surrey but they're not going to try to make you straight the new ex gay movement isn't GonNa make you miserable by forcing you to pretend you're straight and happy about it. No the new next game movement is GONNA. Make you miserable by making you celebrate which they call leaving the lifestyle

I mccray we assume you you can't assume that just because of the results <hes> a week ago so yes he's probably on the way out and frankly probably deserves to be on the way bad but people should not jump to quick conclusions.

Marijuana is now legal for medical purposes in 30 states
"Recently the US food and. Drug. Administration approved a. Form of medical, marijuana after the treatment. Of seizures associated with two rare, and severe forms of epilepsy and it really seems like we hear more, and more about people using marijuana to treat all sorts of medical problems and to help overcome the side effects of some. Traditional medical treatments thirty states and the district of, Columbia currently, have laws legalizing medical marijuana in some form here to discuss as, internal medicine specialist and addiction expert Dr John Ebert welcome back to the program Dr, Ebert it's, great to see you thanks for having me back Dr Robert, thanks for coming, so medical marijuana legitimate for medical use since we last spoke about this the national academies. Of science came out with a report, in that report essentially summarizes all the available medical literature looking at the efficacy or the effectiveness of it in the safety of medical cannabis and what they found was that it is very effective for three specific conditions and one of them is specificity the other one is chronic pain what was that first one so asbestos muscle spasms so some people that have spinal cord injuries or some people who have multiple sclerosis can have incredibly painful specificity the muscles spontaneously spasm very painful it's like a charlie horse but constantly okay right it's effective for that it's effective for nausea and it's effective for chronic pain and specifically neuropathy pain or pain that comes from a nerve so what's interesting about their findings as they didn't have a lot of data that actually supported that it was truly effective for the indication that the new drug approved by the f._d._a. is indicated for which is which is epilepsy or the severe forms of epilepsy there is some existing data but but they didn't have a lot i think it's important for patients who are interested to to or interested in exploring this as a methodology to talk to their clinicians and and really asked the question would it seem like the condition that i have might be effectively treated by medical cannabis and those clinicians i think need to have that information or there is that information's available on the internet and can be searched and can be learned so that they can share that with their patients Is there some. Science behind it you know why it works yeah so there's been lots of science in the space which has somewhat been impeded by the fact that under federal law, medical cannabis is illegal so there's no research so there is there has been you can? Actually and there, has and is ongoing research it is possible to have approval to do research with medical cannabis so there's there's research suggesting that is for these conditions so why why does it work Well what's interesting about so I I. Sorta fi patients for medical cannabis and when I speak with these patients, a lot of. Them are interested in medical cannabis because they nothing else really seems, to have worked and most of the patients at up. Certified have been for chronic pain? They say I want to? Try. Something new and I say it might be effective for pain and one of the things that they they really struggle with some of those. Preconceived notions about what. It is to to smoke pot, if people traditionally, smoked tied in what it is to. Use medical cannabis very different experiences so if someone smoked a medical. Marijuana cigarette for non medicinal purposes you get a hundred. And four? Different chemicals in there States like Minnesota that we are in now have actually limited their program to two of those chemicals so of the hundred, and four possible. Chemicals that, you get when you smoke a joint, if you will you only get two, of them in Minnesota in those two are tetrahydrocannabinol which is the the molecule that gets people high. When they smoke in Canana dial now we think that the Kanana dial. Has some, very interesting and important therapeutic properties it doesn't work like tetrahydrocannabinol but it can actually. Help with pain as an anti inflammatory, it can actually help with pain to reduce nerve transmission which is how it might be working. For seizures and epilepsy that new medication approved by the FDA basically just, pure CBD or. Dial in most of the states have that as one of the, molecules that you can get when you are when you're Subscribed or your proof for medical marijuana in

Number of opioid prescriptions remains unchanged, Mayo Clinic research finds
"Network. Hi, I'm Vivian Williams for the mayo clinic news network, opioids continue to be in the news. A mayo clinic study found that despite increased attention to opioid abuse, prescriptions have remained relatively unchanged for many US patients. The research published in the b. m. j. shows that opioid prescription rates have remained flat for commercially insured patients over the past decade rates. For some Medicare patients are leveling but remain above where they were ten years ago. Dr. Jeffrey Molly is the lead author of the study and scientific director of the mayo clinic division of emergency medicine research. He says the data suggests not much has changed in prescription opioid use since about five years ago. Now based on historical trends of opioid use pain medicine specialist. Dr. Michael Hooton says, there are Maine's an unmet patient need to better target the use of prescription, opioids. Leads the centers for disease control and prevention has previously reported that opioid prescription in the US has increased dramatically from nineteen ninety nine to two thousand ten mayo clinic is broadly researching opioid prescribing practices to find ideal doses for individual patient needs. The researchers say the goal is to achieve the best possible patient outcomes and experience with minimal exposure to opioids. This research has been translated into opioid prescribing guidelines, tools for medical practices at mayo and beyond. And in other news, what you might call the dog days of summer, maybe something more menacing for a person prone to migraines. So how and why does summer weather sometimes trigger these headaches? That's a great question. Says Dr. Rush me, hawker sing, a mayo clinic neurologist. She says that patients ask her that all the time and there's just not a great answer for some people. Extreme weather conditions may cause imbalances in brain chemicals. Which eventually can lead to severe throbbing pain of a migraine. Sunlight could also be a trigger and other weather triggers include high humidity, extreme heat and dry air. Dr. Hucker cing says, these conditions may lead to another migraine creator dehydration. Lots of people forget to drink enough during hot weather and dehydration concert, be risk for migraine attacks to happen. Her advice to people with migraines is to avoid extremes in summer weather and everyday schedules. She also says to be consistent with your eating habits and your sleeping habits, the mayo clinic news network. I'm Vivian Williams. Welcome back to Mayo Clinic Radio. I'm Dr Tom jive and I'm Tracy McCray for teenagers issues like peer pressure, academic expectations, and changing bodies. You're going through that right now or at your. It was a long time ago that I was a teenager Dr side. Thank you. All those things can cause a lot of ups and downs, highs and lows. But for some teens, the lows are more than just temporary feelings. There is symptom of depression. Depression can affect how your teenager thinks feels and behaves. And in extreme cases it can lead to suicidal thoughts, the centers for disease control and prevention reports that suicide is the second leading cause of death for young people. Age ten to twenty four. Fortunately for most teens, depression symptoms can ease with treatment such as medication and psychological counseling in here, disgust teens in mental health is mayo clinic pediatric psychiatrist, Dr Paul cork and welcome back to the program Dr Croke and it's good to see you glow. Thanks for having me today. Thanks for being here. So Dr, Carr, convince increasing number of suicides in this country has to be of some concern is very concerning and it's it's probably complex causes. It's something that's being as you point out, talked about and written about quite a lot quite often. And it's been been estimated that the the overall rates have nearly doubled less twenty years. Much of that involves teenagers. As you pointed out with young people, it's the second leading cause of death. Sadly there are in the neighborhood of, you know, forty, five thousand completed suicides annual in the US young people account for usually about ten percent of that. So there there's a host of things to think about. And I, I would argue that my field in particular we need to, we need to brace this as maybe failure that we need to relook at things and continue research in ways to do better his problem in the future. So you said suicide rates for teenagers as doubled over the last twenty years. So have the rates of depression doubled as well. That's one of the one of the considerations. The thought is that actually exhibiting depression is increasing as well. But there are other there are other factors to to present a balanced view here. There has been the argument made, perhaps we are just getting better at quantifying and qualifying into things, and we have more mental health professionals. Now, psychiatrist to identify these things. People are talking about mental health as well, and there's hopefully less stigma and people feel feel freer to talk about it as you point out. There's also as far as causes that are driving this potentially. There's been a lot of speculation is life becoming more fast paced and stressful for for teenagers general? Some of us at our age. We have sometimes difficult time wrapping our brain around that. But indeed, if you look at look at some of the things that are going on in the challenges teens face today, it's not. It's not benign another. Another, very very, I would argue poorly understood but important consideration is the internet. Did you. Title social media things like Facebook, Twitter, and the platforms that I don't even know about the using, how does that contribute? I mean, what's the relationship there? Well, the thought the thought there have been there have been studies Dr shops that can that suggest that that more time spent on that thing contributes to depression, but it's probably not that simple. I mean, the arguments been made, and this has been looked at that overall. Maybe maybe teenagers into some extent, adults are spending more and more time on these platforms with these technologies and overall feeling less connected in the genuine face to face empathic sort of fashion. The other pernicious aspect of these technologies. Something that I see in my day to day practice often is that there's a fair amount of negative behaviors broadly describe it that there's what's called cyber bullying. It's rampant with a lot of the lot of the young people that I work with and it some thought that there's been some suggestion that it the effects of this may be more. More lasting severe than face to face based face bowling, for example. So Dr shaves alluded to the fact. I've got two teenagers at my house, so I'm gonna ask a question and went to expect a choir of angels to start to rise up around me as I ask it, how can apparent distinguish normal teen moods, team behavior swings from signs of depression hut. Can you tell the difference? It's a great question and it's a, it's a deceptively simple to in that as you point out teens in general, have a host of neurologic integral suck logic changes because can bring his getting up and can contribute to meeting us and predictably. They tend to think that moms dads are less interesting to be around in the less at this age. Can you imagine didn't happen? I'm sure I know that's why I'm so confused by it, but getting on getting more on point with your question, pervasive changes in what you could you could refer to personality, so dark, dark, irritable moods that are there. All day long day after day after day that are per she added in more than one environment. So if there's feedback from teachers, schools, sports teams, the, you know, Joey, your Sally is just not not the same as they were before declining functioning academics is a as usually big telltale sign that previously a or b students suddenly see your or student changes in peer groups, changes in behaviors, changes in sleeping patterns, and then a focus on dark kind of things. Thoughts are or talk about suicide, for example. And the again, a related question I think would be, what do you do about these these various social media platforms and internet use? And that's another another thing I think broadly, did you stay engaged with your your children and it's not easy in teenagers. A couple of things I wanted to ask you about first of all access. I mean, there are so many more people who seem to be depressed, isn't access to a mental health prof. National more difficult because there are more so many more people out there and not enough of you. And I think the second part of that question is even if you are pretty certain that your child is is depressed. There's concern about how effective the treatment is in what the treatments going to pay. Those are great questions, and the short answer you're absolutely right on the first count that access is to mental health professionals. Psychiatry in particular is not not at all what it should be, and it's even more problematic for young people collectively, we are trying to address that. No mayo clinic is led the way things, for example, that are called collaborative care models or integrative behavioral health where we actually do things like we embed psychiatrist within a large network of primary care clinics for very different kind of role than what we're used to. It's more of a role of supervision coaching consultation on cases, so that family practice doctors, Tournus and pediatricians, for example, get more more depth and more comfortable with. Treating identifying treating things like depression, anxiety, youngster teenager, good things. All good. And to get your to get your other question identification and the definition diagnosis of this is challenging and for parents, it's often the way we do. This is often hard to understand in that we don't, you know, it's based on interviews and questions. There's no lab test or x Ray for this, but ongoing monitoring in mild cases, watchful waiting is appropriate where, again, parents and teachers have awareness. We do very simple, but important things like help youth structure, their sleep hygiene, their habits, their study patterns. But overall, if if symptoms are moderate to severe, they're impeding functioning and academic social and family treatment is important in the first. The first line for depression is usually a combination of psychotherapy, things like cognitive behavioral therapy or what's called interpersonal therapy and the judicious use of medications, and how can parents support thirteen. NHS ongoing communication about about their life in general encouragement, sometimes reminders to to take care of their health overall and setting that example as well making time for family dinner every day, those kind of things. And if parents think it is an emergency, they should call nine one one. Well, unfortunately, depression in suicides in America and including among teenagers is on the rise. It's important though to if there is a problem to get access to mental health care, even though it may be difficult and you've got some effective treatments. Exactly. We've been talking about teenagers and mental health when mayo clinic pediatrics, Kaya trysts are all Corcoran Dr. Clarkin thanks for being with us. Thank you decker shaft. We're going to take a short break. When we come back, we'll look at some new research on diet and dementia. You're listening to Mayo Clinic Radio on the mayo clinic news network. Welcome back to Mayo Clinic Radio. I'm Dr Tom shy and I'm Tracy McCray Tracy. We know that a diet that's filled with fruits and vegetables is good for waistline, but it's proving to be good for our brain as well. A recent study published in the journal of Alzheimer's disease showed that people with normal cognitive function who followed a Mediterranean diet had lower amyloid deposits in the brain. As we've learned before on this program, amyloid deposits in the brain are one hallmark of Alzheimer's disease in here to discuss is the lead author of the paper, mayo clinic, epidemiologist, Dr, Maria vassal, Laki, welcome to the program. Thank you for having me. That was pretty, you're Greek is pretty good. Thank you. I assume you are Dr Solanki. Great to have you with us. I, you know, I married into a great family, and so I set nice people. We have. So what's good for the body is good for the brain? Is that what we're saying? This is what we think that is accumulating evidence suggesting that died has been officially fact for the brain to and for against the climb. The my says, well, although we don't have definite evidence for that, but that is good body of literature supporting that. Is that what prompted you to the study? Yes. In the mayo clinic study of aging, we are studying cognitive decline and also by Marcus of Alzheimer's disease. So one of them would be the the position in the brain, and we had this cons and the date do study that inside of the association with diet. So when we talk about amyloid deposition in the brain amyloid is a as I recall, it's been a while protein, right? Yes. And we knew from autopsy studies that patients who had Alzheimer's disease before they died, had these deposits amyloid for whatever reason, there's an association between the two. And now if I'm correct, we can actually. Detect those amyloid deposits under numerous Gan, correct. We, we detect them in, for example, in pets can so we introduce some only gives through the blood and they go and highlight areas of the position. So we have the scans and we know the as where we have elevated amused and you said that you studied people with normal cognitive function. So how do you determine if someone buddies brain is normal and they can be in the study? So in them out participants in the mayo, Cain, excite the venting. They go a very comprehensive competition with nine defense near psychological tests, and then they are evaluated by physi- centers. Well, we also take information by informant the partner. So we have a lot of information. And then by consensus, we gather all the information and the nurse that helped the the coordinator, the physician and the psychologists, they decide based on data that we have. Whether someone would be within the normal function range or someone would have a little more cognitive decline than than we would expect for their age or whether someone would being the dementia, what was the age? They average age of this today participants. So for this Pacific style, the was seventy years and older. So the me Nate is about seventy eight years old fifty, five percent of them were men and what do the studies show ultimately? So we asked them about their eating habits. They last twelve months. So the head Thuan cer- about one hundred and twenty eight different questions on the food groups that they think that the amount and also how often they would. And we found that vein vigils were falling closer, the Mediterranean diet, and those that had the higher Sam shown of vegetables were less likely to have elevated levels of amyloid position in the brain. Now we have to point out that this is a. Sectional study in our terminology, which means this is like a photograph. We don't have the dimension of time, so we don't know what came first and what game second. So as we say in our area of research, we cannot assess the Kazadi between the two. However, we, this is information that supports previous information that we know that that has been officially fact. There's also the possibility that another factor could be in place that we haven't measured that we don't know about yet, but this is a first sign that our study showed supporting evidence of beneficial association. We all talked about it and we've talked about it on this program, but refresh our memories of regard to the Mediterranean diet. We know that it's mostly fruits and vegetables, but what what can't you eat or shouldn't you eat if you're on that diet? So it's it's a very colorful diet. It's high consumption. Oh fruits and vegetables, legumes nuts, also moderate to high consumption face less consumption of meat and saturated fats and more fat in the in terms of olive oil are consumed in the diet. Also, there is optional. Moderate use of alcohol is well mainly wine. And usually it happens in social occasions where it was wine on the list or not on the list. Why was on the list for them died when we started status the nineteen sixties. Now, alcohol is is optional in a way because for some of the conditions, we should not drink. It's very, there's incredible if we cannot control the amount of wine. So it's really optional. All right. The question is people who followed this diet for their entire life. People who live in the Mediterranean, I guess, do they have a lower incidence of Alzheimer's disease than we have? I don't. Don't have a definite answer that as far as research is concerned, very rigorous clinical trials research. So we don't have definite evidence to suggest dietary interventions in our life. Today we have though a big amount of survey tional data in some clinical trials that would support that good violence died like the Mediterranean diet, but also other diets like the dash diet or the mind. Diet were societas with slower cognitive decline. Certain familiar with either one of those, the dash and the what was the other. Mind so that does diet. These, they enter approaches to stop hypertension and the mind is Mediterranean dash interventions for new the generative delay. So haven't studied this. Are you pretty much convinced that murder? Mediterranean diet is a good idea not just before overall health, but also to prevent cognitive decline. Are you convinced? I think we need to learn much more, but with we have enough to follow the advice of the gates now to have a good balance, healthy diet and the Mediterranean diet, but that is one of them. The good thing is that although we don't have any new commendation based on this data, and although we said it's like a photo Akra sectionals Patty, it adds an additional motivation that what is good for my general health. What is good for my cardiovascular can support my brain health, and that can happen directly may be. Through defense mechanisms or indirectly, supporting my cat. Vascular system puts also would be very important for brain health and dimensions. What's next in your research? So what we would like to do and other sets us also doing is to follow people onto the to see whether we follow the Mediterranean diet or any other beneficial diet pattern, whether changes in our bio markets in the brain. I'm for example or changes in our coq nation, beneficial changes associated with a good balanced diet. We've been discussing how diet may play a role in preventing or delaying cognitive decline and dementia with mayo clinic, epidemiologist, Dr. Maria vessel Ocoee.

Lyme Disease isn’t the Only Tick-Borne Illness to Think About
"In the sun with your family. You grab the sunscreen because you know a sun protection factor or SPF of thirty is going to protect your exposed skin from getting sunburned. But Dr Don Davis. A mayo clinic dermatologist says, most people don't know that skin covered by clothing still can get sunburned. She says, natural clothing without sun protective factors. We'll have an SPF of approximately one to four based on how tight the we've is and how breathable the material is. So it actually does not give you that much some protection, but she says there are special types of clothing that will protect you. The clothing industry has now allowed micro fibers into certain clothes, which then have a UP f. or universal protection factor that's equivalent to the SPF of sunscreen. She says, universal. -tection factor is even calculated the same way SPF is it's the ratio of the number of minutes. You spend outdoors without developing redness to the skin with the clothing on verses without the clothing on. So Dr Davis says, if you can spend fifty minutes outdoors with a piece of clothing before developing mild readiness versus ten minutes without you would have a protective factor of fifty over ten, which is a UP f of five. So the next time you're shopping for clothes, check the tag to see if it lists the items, universal protection factor, and here's some news about some research mayo clinic is doing to help stop a cancer associated with sun exposure melanoma. The most deadly type of skin cancer mayo clinic center for individualized medicine is learning about melanoma at the molecular level to allow for treatment that better targets and individuals disease. That's because not all melanomas are the same every year about ninety thousand people are diagnosed with melanoma. And more than nine thousand people die from the disease in the United States. According to the American Cancer Society, the incidents has been rising for the past thirty years, especially among young people. Mayo researchers are working to find better treatments for the mayo clinic news network. I'm Vivian Williams. Welcome back to Mayo Clinic Radio. I'm Dr Tom shy, and I'm Tracy McCray. Well, Tracy, it's tick season, and it's time actually to learn how to stop those suckers according to a new report from the centers for disease control and prevention. Illnesses caused by disease infected ticks mosquitos and fleas have tripled in the US in recent years, lime disease is the most common illness carried by ticks, but it's not the only one. There's an applause, Moses Ehrlich news what and even Rocky Mountain, spotted fever to just name a few. We'll get to the pronunciation of that in just a second must be lik Yosef here to discuss, tick, borne illnesses and how to prevent them and how to pronounce them as mayo clinic microbiologist and parasite expert, Dr. Bobby Pritt, welcome back to the program, Dr it. Thank you. It's great to be here. The doctor sites has that right. He did Arlecchino SIS. Alright. Why in the world? Is there a tripling in the amount of diseases from these suckers. As doctor says, we have more of them that ticks are spreading their spreading their ranges, and that's due to a lot of different factors. Some of it has to do with weather, some of it has to do with human behavior. A lot of it has to do with hosts like all those dear and wrote cetera out there. They are perfect reservoirs for the ticks defeat on. Over the winter. Now they survive over the winter. They can hang out under the leaves, and then come out as soon as the snow melts is lime disease stole the most common tick illness. It is in the country and particularly in the upper midwest and the northeast, some three hundred thousand cases year more than that. But for a couple of generations ago, no, I'd never heard of Lyme disease. Is it because it had not been diagnosed yet or because there wasn't a Lyme disease. At that point, there was some disease, so it had been diagnosed by then, but there wasn't a lot of it. There weren't as many forested areas where our dear used to like to hang out. We used to be more of a farming society. There used to be wider areas that were just open fields for crops. Now we have all these nice wooded areas that the deer just love the rodents just love that's perfect habitat for ticks. And we love to go out into those beautiful green spaces and and our behavior off. Also drives this. We want to go out and go for a hike in the woods, and we should. It's just now we have to be aware that those ticks and the mosquitoes and the fleas are out there and we have to be able to protect ourselves, shall we get from the tick that bit the deer? Yes. Well, actually it's usually the mouse that it gets it from. So the tick is born not infected with Lyme disease, but then when it bites its first mouse or small rodent, it becomes infected. And then in order to change into its next life cycle stage, it needs to take another meal. And that could be from us. What what dear after do you know the deer are actually more of just a blood source there, a food source, the ticks like defeat on dear, but dare themselves actually don't get infected with Lyme disease, the mice. We blame the deer also part of life cycle though for some of the other things like Anna plasmapheresis in our lick Llosa's when it comes to ticks, is that what the problem is or what are, what are other diseases that ticks spread? Well, as you mentioned, Rocky Mountain, spotted fever, Anna plasma, SIS, there's busy. Oh, SIS Bradley, amo- Twi. That's a mouthful. There's also the to Nick new tick borne diseases that we identified here at mayo clinic Bradley, mayo knee. I named after the mayo brothers and also are leaky Muris. So there have been nine new pathogens spread by ticks or mosquitoes. Just identified since two thousand four is one of those the ones that results in allergy to meet. Yes, that's a really odd one. And people get really. Bad ineffective reaction if they eat meat, if they're bitten by a certain type tick, amazing lime disease, the most common one. So let's say that you know you had a tick on your body or you don't. What are the symptoms? What do you look for for lime disease, fever is one and brash. Those are two big ones all the disease that looks like a target for lime disease. It's that so called target white rash. The problem is is not all people have that. It could also be an hard to see areas like if it's on your scalp under your hair or your back, that's why tick checks with a friend or sometimes helpful. Have sunlight look in the spots that you can't easily see, but even if you don't have a towel rash, if you have other symptoms, you should go to your doctor. You could have body aches, muscle aches. Those are the big ones joint pains. And then how if you, if you have those symptoms go to the physician, how do they diagnose it? How do they know if you have lime disease? There's a few tests we do for Lyme disease. We look for antibodies that your body forums is part of its immune response to the organism. So that's called serologic testing. PCR's not a big part of Lyme disease, but we testing, but we do offer it as more of a junked of test for other diseases. We have PCR test. We have Serology. So we have a number of ways in the laboratory that we can detect these tests and they can be pretty definitive. They can, yes. Are there any advances being made in the battle against the ticks? Yeah, it's interesting that you ask that because there's a whole new tick, borne disease working group that was sponsored by the government, which actually on one of the subcommittees working groups, and we are looking at all of those. Things. What are the gaps in our existing technologies? And then what are some of the new technologies that can help fill those gaps? Does a number of different things be looked at? Some will be going through the FDA for approval, but nothing's really here yet. So we're still, unfortunately relying on technology from the nineteen seventies and eighties like serologic testing. Well, in the tricky thing is back in the nineteen seventies, for instance, if you were going to go onto the woods, you didn't think twice, not maybe at the most. You just looked for ticks on your body when you got back, but times have changed. And so before you go into the forest or through a walk in a meadow or whatever the case is, what should we do about these things? Exactly. If you're going to go out into the woods and you think you're going to go off the beaten trail, you need to be applying some sort of tick or insect repellent. We recommend deet anything with thirty percent deter more. There's also a carrot in the Environmental Protection Agency actually has a whole list of all the different options. And there's also permission that. You can spray on clothing. Essentially, the idea is choose what you're going to be using and make sure you do it consistently. You could also do some simple things like tuck your pants into your socks, less bearskin for those ticks grab onto all good. Good thoughts. So you talked to us about the symptoms of Lyme disease. You talk to us about the diagnosis. They'll tell us about treatment, and if it's important to be treated and if you don't get treated or even sometimes if you do the complications. Yes, treatments important. And if you think you have tick borne disease, you definitely want to go to your physician. Some of these diseases are life threatening things like Rocky Mountain, spotted fever. That's life threatening in children in adults. Erlich Yosef can be life threatening. Usually the treatment is a drug called dachsie cycling, even for children with cases of Rocky Mountain, spotted fever. A lot of times we say, don't give certain antibiotics, doxycycline children that is not the case with Rocky Mountain, spotted fever. So usually antibiotic treatment is required. And most cases patients will respond if they're treated early, if they're not treated, early, complications can arise like with lime disease, the disease can disseminate. It can go to your joints. It can go. To your nervous system and that hurt breaking your heart. People have died of lime and Okada's. So it's important to find out if you have it get a definitive diagnosis and be treated and as early on as possible. Exactly. Is it ever too late to undergo treatment? It's less effective. So I wouldn't say it's too late. You'd still wanna go to your doctor and see what your treatment options are, but it may be less effective. All right.
