Certain medications to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) may increase the risk of psychosis in young adults, a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine Thursday found.

The study found that teens and young people taking amphetamines like Adderall and Vyvanse were at a higher risk of developing psychosis than those taking methylphenidates like Ritalin or Concerta, reported the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Psychosis is a severe mental disorder that causes a person to break with reality, causing paranoia and even hallucination.

Patients taking amphetamines were still at a low risk of developing psychosis, but the finding is “concerning,” the paper’s lead author Dr. Lauren V. Moran said according to the AJC.

“The findings are concerning because the use of amphetamines in adolescents and young adults has more than tripled in recent years. More and more patients are being treated with these medications,” Moran said. “There is not a lot of research comparing the safety profiles of amphetamines and methylphenidate, despite increasing use of these medications.”

The study examined insurance claims of more than 220,000 ADHD patients between 13 and 25 years old who began taking amphetamines or methylphenidates between Jan. 1, 2004, and Sept. 30, 2015, reported AJC. While only one in 1,046 patients who started treatment with methylphenidate developed psychosis, one out of every 486 patients who started treatment with amphetamine developed it.

The study was funded by the National Institutes of Health.

Moran pointed out that “people who have been on a drug like Adderall for a long time, who are taking the drug as prescribed and are tolerating it well, are not likely to experience this problem (psychosis),” according to AJC. She also said that she would also take family history into account when prescribing Adderall and avoid prescribing it for patients who may be at a higher risk of bipolar disorder because of their genetics, reported CBS News.

Medication is not the only way to treat ADHD, which patients can combat with behavioral therapy as well.

The American Psychiatric Association estimates that roughly 5 percent of children have ADHD, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website. In fact, more than 10 percent of American children had ADHD diagnoses in 2015 and 2016, which is nearly double the amount of diagnoses between 1997 and 1998.

Some researchers say it is not all bad news that the percentage of diagnoses has grown. That is because premature babies are more likely to develop ADHD and an increase in ADHD diagnoses could go hand-in-hand with an increase in premature baby survival.

A Catholic priest was stabbed several times during a live-streamed mass in Montreal on Friday morning.

Rev. Claude Grou, the rector at St. Joseph’s Oratory, was celebrating mass when a “tall, slim man” approached the altar, crossed behind it and chased after the fleeing priest to stab him repeatedly, according to CBC News. The man was thrown to the ground and restrained.

Grou was taken to the hospital in an ambulance. The Montreal Diocese confirmed that the priest is recovering and in stable condition. His wounds were superficial as the knife broke during the attack, according to witnesses.

The attack was captured on livestream and broadcast by the Catholic channel Salt + Light.

WATCH: 

One of the parishioners who witnessed the event, Philip Barrett, reported that there were about 60 people at the mass and that the priest was getting ready to read the Gospel when the incident occurred.

“He [the assailant] walked past the barrier leading into the sanctuary near the altar, and everyone was just initially wondering what was going on, and some people were starting to react a little bit,” he told CBC News.

“And he walked directly behind the altar and seemed to strike the priest.”

The parishioners present do not recall seeing the man at that church before. He has been taken into custody and will be questioned by police later Friday. CBC News reported the suspect is 26 years old.

Montreal Mayor Valérie Plante said the attack is a “horrible and inexcusable gesture that has no place in Montreal.”

“I am relieved to learn that the life of Father Claude Grou, rector of the [Oratory], is out of danger and that his condition is stable,” she tweeted. “On behalf of all Montrealers, I wish him speedy recovery.”

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also tweeted, “What a horrible attack at Saint Joseph’s Oratory in Montreal this morning. Father Claude Grou, Canadians are thinking of you and wishing you a swift recovery.”

• Prices fell more than 8% in San Francisco and San Jose
• Newark, Milwaukee and Buffalo saw prices rise more than 10%

U.S. home-sale prices increased just 0.6 percent year-over-year to a median of $287,400 in February, according to a report by Redfin, (www.redfin.com), the technology-powered real estate brokerage. This was the smallest increase recorded since prices stopped falling year-over-year in March 2012.

“When home prices are going up quickly, buyers feel like they are forced to move fast and purchase a home before prices rise even more. Now that home prices are growing slower than inflation (prices for consumer goods were up 1.5% annually in February), there really isn’t much downside to taking your time,” said Redfin chief economist Daryl Fairweather. “And now that mortgage rates are no longer going up every week, buyers in many markets have the luxury of knowing that whether they buy now or later they will pay about the same for a home.”

Market Summary	February 2019	Month-Over-Month	Year-Over-Year
Median sale price	$287,400	1.0%	0.6%
Homes sold	189,100	3.3%	1.9%
New listings	273,500	0.3%	-4.8%
All Homes for sale	760,800	0.0%	2.9%
Median days on market	59	2	2
Months of supply	4	-0.2	0
Sold above list	17.8%	0.9%	-3.7%
Median Off-Market Redfin Estimate	$298,400	-0.1%	5.2%
Average Sale-to-list	97.7%	0.4%	0.0%

Home prices fell in 10 of the 85 largest metro areas Redfin tracks, with the largest year-over-year declines in Bridgeport, CT (-15.2%), San Jose, CA (-11.3%) and San Francisco (-7.9%). Metros with the biggest increases in home prices from last year were led by Newark (12.2%), Milwaukee (11.8%) and Buffalo, NY (11.7%).

Completed home sales rose nationally for the first time in seven months and only the third time in the past 12 months in February, up 1.9 percent from a year earlier. Growth in home sales has see-sawed above and below zero, but the overall trend has been falling since late 2016. February may be the start of a reversal in this trend. Home sales fell in 41 of the 85 largest metro areas that Redfin tracks.

The number of homes for sale at the end of the month was up 2.9 percent from a year earlier in February. The number of homes newly listed for sale fell from February 2018 (-4.8%).

Home-selling speeds, which reached a record-fast median pace of 35 days on market last May, slowed year-over-year again in February. The typical home that sold in February went under contract in a median of 59 days, two days longer than a year earlier.

“Because homes are sitting on the market longer and the market is less competitive than last year, first-time homebuyers now have a better chance of winning a home,” said Fairweather. “That could mean more potential buyers in the spring. Home sales are already rebounding this month, and that trend may continue now that the market is more balanced.”

Oakland, San Francisco and Denver reclaimed their positions as the fastest housing markets in February, when the typical home that sold went under contract in 18, 22 and 27 days, respectively. Grand Rapids, MI (28) and Tacoma, WA(30) were the next fastest markets. 2019 kicked off with Buffalo (now the 17th fastest market), Grand Rapids and Omaha(now the 7th fastest) leading the nation for home-selling speeds in January.

Breaking news from late Monday Novemeber 12th, 2012.  FOX news reports General John Allen, top American Commander in Afghanistan, is under investigation for “inappropriate” emails to Jill Kelley, who is the woman that notified authorities that she was receiving “threatening” emails from a source which led to Petraeus mistress Paula Broadwell.  This certainly is a strange “twist” to this already shocking story.  According to FOX news:

The defense official confirmed the investigation was due to allegations of inappropriate emails between Allen and Jill Kelley, a close friend of the Petraeus family who reportedly led the FBI to investigate communications between Petraeus and his biographer Paula Broadwell.

The FBI then discovered Petraeus and Broadwell had engaged in an extramarital affair, which led Petraeus to resign as director of the CIA on Nov. 9.
The defense official says the investigation into Allen involves 20,000 to 30,000 emails that were dated between 2010 and 2012, and that the department is in the very early stages of their investigation.
He would not say whether they involved sexual matters or whether they are thought to include unauthorized disclosures of classified information or any criminal activity. He said he did not know whether Petraeus is mentioned in the emails. (emphasis mine)

Meanwhile, Fox News also confirmed Monday night that the FBI is searching Broadwell’s North Carolina home, though they did not say what they were doing there or what prompted the search.  Searching her home tells me they are looking for something “incriminating”?  There seems to be quite a bit more to this whole “email” scandal then meets the eye.

In another as the “emailing of Jill Kelley turns” moment, the initial FBI agent who was assigned to investigate the “threatening emails” Ms. Kelley was complaining of, sent Kelley “shirtless” photos of himself.  Why are all theses seemingly accomplished men losing “it” over Kelley?  The agent was later taken off the case because

“supervisors soon became concerned that the initial agent might have grown obsessed with the matter, and prohibited him from any role in the investigation.”

Something very odd here. I want to recommend a 12 step “email anonymous” program, hi my name is John, or Jill, and I am powerless over emailing….  This woman Jill Kelley sure seems to be one “popular” woman, people in high places like to email her—alot.  I think we will learn there is more to Jill Kelley than just being a “victim”, receiving 20-30 thousand emails reek of obsessive behavior that is pretty mutual.   This story is like a bad “B” movie, and the popcorn is stale, soda is flat.  Terrible plot, so not believable.    And no refunds, no exceptions.  Just like the Obama Administration, even the scandals are shoddy.

Let’s keep our eyes on Benghazi, and not get caught up in this “Jersey Shore” type scintillating headlines being thrown at us.

UPDATE!! OK, here ya go….reports are surfacing that the Kelley’s are broke, house in foreclosure—and Ms. Kelley has hired the same “crisis management” team as Monica Lewinsky hired during the Bill Clinton sex scandal.  Hmmm, I smell possible book deal, wow, just in time to pay off the house!   Remember those so called “threatening emails” were not so “threatening”, in fact its reported the FBI was sort of “not impressed” with their content, and originally told Ms. Kelley—

The messages were instead what the source terms “kind of cat-fight stuff.”

“More like, ‘Who do you think you are? … You parade around the base … You need to take it down a notch,’” according to the source, who was until recently at the highest levels of the intelligence community and prefers not to be identified by name.

Yet Ms. Kelley pushed the FBI—interesting, very interesting.

Mid-sized businesses, representing roughly 40% of the U.S. economy and one-third of its workforce, registered the third consecutive quarter of record-high performance in the third quarter of 2018. Middle-market executives signaled a continuing robust forecast for the next six months, putting 2018 on pace to be the best year on record for the middle-market index.

The RSM US Middle Market Business Index (MMBI), based on data from companies that earn $100 million to $3 billion annually, posted a composite score of 134.4, a slight 0.1-point decrease from last quarter’s 134.5. (A reading above 100 indicates an expanding middle market.) More than half of the leaders surveyed reported the general economy improved somewhat or substantially over the quarter, and their increasing expectations across revenues, net earnings and compensation imply sustained growth during the final quarter of 2018 and into next year.

“Middle market businesses are flourishing in what is one of the most robust periods of growth during the current business cycle,” said Joe Brusuelas, RSM US LLP chief economist. “Any hint of uncertainty they indicated previously hasn’t prevented companies from expanding in these strong conditions. And not only that, companies are making employment and compensation increases to set them on track for sustained growth in the year ahead.”

Nearly half of business leaders increased hiring in Q3 2018, and according to the report, 53 percent expect to increase the level of hiring over the next six months. Gross revenues appear strong, with 67 percent of business leaders expect gross revenues to increase in the next 180 days.

“It’s encouraging to see such optimism and continued growth from the middle market, which represents more than one-third of U.S. jobs,” said Neil Bradley, executive vice president and chief policy officer for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. “Policymakers can support the continued optimism of middle market business leaders by pursuing free, fair, and open trade. Such policies will help our economy, and this vital sector, continue to grow.”

Hiring, Capital Expenditures May Slow
Compared to last quarter, more executives reported hiring levels will decrease over the next six months (10 percent versus 6 percent) due to incredibly tight labor conditions, with U.S. unemployment remaining steady at 3.9 percent in August and there being more job openings than people on unemployment. There simply aren’t enough people to fill the jobs the new economy is creating forcing middle-market employers to seek technological advances and process improvements so that resource needs are met despite the difficult hiring environment.

“Middle market employers have struggled, like other businesses, to attract qualified talent in this booming economy,” Brusuelas said. “Their plans to slow hiring could indicate they are testing new strategies to make use of their existing employee base – and investing in technology should be a priority to keep pace with the larger organizations that are taking advantage of automation, machine learning and artificial intelligence to increase efficiency.”

The radical Islamic terror attacks on Paris and the huge influx of Syrian refugees have many members of the European Union joining the bombing campaign against the Islamic State and another nation assisting Israel in its defense against Iran.

France was pulled into the air war on ISIS in September after a series of attacks including the brutal attack on the Parisian satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo where 12 people were killed.

Paris was attacked again by ISIS in late November as a cell of radical Islamists murdered people at restaurants and the Batacian theatre. 130 people in all were killed. This most-recent attack on France encouraged other EU nations to join the anti-terror campaign.

Yesterday, the British Parliament voted to start a bombing campaign in Syria against ISIS. Just a few hours after the vote, the first RAF Tornado jets dropped their bombs on Islamic Radicals.

“RAF Tornadoes have just returned from their first offensive operation over Syria and have conducted strikes,” a spokesman for Britain’s Ministry of Defense (MOD) said early Thursday.

Now, Germany has voted to enter the war on radical Islamic terror.

Germany’s lower house of parliament on Friday approved government plans to join the military campaign against Islamic State in Syria.

Of the 598 lawmakers who took part in the vote, 445 voted for, 146 against and seven abstained.

Some EU nations are helping in other ways. Greece assisted Israel in training against Russian air defense systems like those deployed by Iran and Syria.

Israel has quietly tested ways of defeating an advanced air-defence system that Russia has deployed in the Middle East and that could limit Israel’s ability to strike in Syria or Iran, military and diplomatic sources said.

The sources said a Russian S-300 anti-aircraft system, sold to Cyprus 18 years ago but now located on the Greek island of Crete, had been activated during joint drills between the Greek and Israeli air forces in April-May this year.

Spain has its own troubles with radical Islam much closer to home. ISIS has pledged to “Take Spain Back.”

The campaign involves posters that include images of famous Spanish landmarks and monuments emblazoned with Arabic slogans such as, “We are all the Islamic State” and “Long Live the Islamic State.”

“I say to the entire world as a warning: We are living under the Islamic flag, the Islamic caliphate. We will die for it until we liberate those occupied lands, from Jakarta to Andalusia. And I declare: Spain is the land of our forefathers and we are going to take it back with the power of Allah.”

Radical Muslims in Catalonia are looking to tear the country in two:

A successful push for independence in the Spanish autonomous region of Catalonia would lead to the establishment of a country with the third-largest percentage of Muslims in Western Europe, just behind France and Belgium, and far ahead of Britain and Germany.

An independent Catalonia, with its capital in Barcelona, would also be home to the largest concentration of radical Islamists in Europe; it would emerge as ground-zero for Salafi-Jihadismon the continent and become one of the top incubators for Islamist terrorism in the West.

Much in the way 1930’s Europe attempted to appease Hitler by allowing him to militarize and begin taking what he wanted, 21st century Europe had been doing much the same with radical Islam and with similar results.

Now it would appear that enough is enough and the EU isn’t taking it anymore.

• Analysts say they are not surprised that billionaire Tom Steyer is staying mum on the Green New Deal given the plan’s recent stumbles
• Liberal megadonor Steyer is laying low on the Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal as Democratic presidential hopefuls line up behind the plan
• Steyer appears to be focusing on impeaching President Donald Trump over championing Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal

Billionaire Tom Steyer is keeping a low profile with respect to his support for the Democratic Party’s Green New Deal – it’s an unusual position for one of the environmentalist movement’s biggest advocates.

Steyer has stayed mum on an all-encompassing climate resolution that promises to completely remake the American economy. He’s given faint praise for the GND in a tweet and a few sparse press statements, but the Democratic megadonor is instead focusing on impeaching the president.

The climate resolution, which was rolled out by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Feb. 7, calls for “10-year national mobilizations” toward a series of goals aimed at fighting global warming. A separate fact sheet claims the plan would “mobilize every aspect of American society.” Steyer’s relative inaction comes as critics slam the GND’s coming out party.

Ocasio-Cortez’s office provided NPR the GND resolution and its accompanying FAQ document that laid out its goals, namely to “[m]ove America to 100% clean and renewable energy” within 10 years. The FAQ document dump turned into a millstone around Democrat’s proverbial necks.

Among other things, the document claimed that Americans must “upgrade or replace every building in US for state-of-the-art energy efficiency,” if they are to rid the country and world of all forms of pollution and greenhouse gases. It also stated that the GND would provide benefits for people “unwilling to work.”

Ocasio-Cortez’s staff was forced to ding the document from the website and clarify the lawmaker’s position. The drama unfolded less than a day after the Feb. 7 rollout of the now-beleaguered deal. Steyer, for his part, issued a tweet on the day of the rollout cheering the New York Democrat’s ambitious play.

“A real solution proposed in Washington? About time!! Let’s make the liars and deniers explain why this doesn’t HAVE to happen,” he told his Twitter followers at the time. Steyer didn’t mention the GND again until several days later when Sen. Ed Markey of Massachusetts published a statement on his website noting Steyer’s support.

“Our society needs to turn dramatically and immediately towards the shared goals of environmental justice, broad-based prosperity and health. The Green New Deal is that turn,” Steyer said in the Feb. 13 statement. Steyer’s political action group NextGen America has not responded to The Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.

Some critics believe it makes sense why the former hedge fund manager is staying mum. Christopher Horner, a senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, told TheDCNF that Steyer’s reticence to leap into the fray is probably a smart tactic given the GDN’s controversy.

“I think I would avoid wide circulation, too,” Horner said, adding “that the same people who couldn’t create a healthcare website apparently can’t even properly post to a website.” He often engages in legal battles against attorneys who sue energy companies over climate change.

Other analysts shared similar sentiments. “He’s calculating. It’s not overly popular,” E&E Legal President Craig Richardson told TheDCNF, referring to the GND, which received waives of support from various Democratic presidential candidates.

“He’s all in on climate program. It’s a trial balloon, so he’s smart enough not to jump into that right away. It’s really not politically expedient to come all the way out for it,” he said of Steyer’s reticence. Richardson’s group is also on the front lines in battles against anti-oil activists.

Steyer is plowing another $6 million into what some Democratic leaders worry is an ill-fated attempt to impeach the president. He decided not to run against President Donald Trump in January, citing concerns about his business dealings and past fossil fuel investments.

Grubhub (NYSE: GRUB), the nation’s leading online and mobile food-ordering and delivery marketplace, today announced it has entered into an agreement to acquire Tapingo, a leading platform for campus food ordering.

With over 150 college campus partners, Tapingo enables tens of thousands of order-ahead transactions per day for more than half a million active diners at on-campus cafes, restaurants, and cashier-less stores. The combination of Tapingo’s network with Grubhub’s restaurant marketplace and delivery capabilities will bring greater convenience to students and help campus restaurants capitalize on pickup and delivery orders.

Tapingo’s U.S.- and Israel-based teams have built a technology platform custom designed for campus use, with direct integration into college meal plans and point-of-sale (POS) systems, ensuring seamless order-taking and accurate, up-to-the-minute transparency on wait times for diners. The Tapingo platform also streamlines operations and increases in-store efficiency for campus restaurant partners—including Taco Bell, Chipotle, Chick-fil-A, Panda Express and Jamba Juice—and powers partnerships with Aramark and Sodexo, the leading providers of food services and facilities management nationwide.

“We are excited to add Tapingo, a company that shares our vision of bringing greater convenience to diners and improving the restaurant ordering and pickup experience through technology,” said Matt Maloney, Grubhub’s founder and chief executive officer. “We value the college student population, many of whom we hope become life-long Grubhub diners with their first order. Tapingo makes students’ lives easier, allows merchants to efficiently capitalize on online ordering, and enables colleges and universities to give students the technology they’ve come to expect.”

“Joining Grubhub is an important step forward for Tapingo. Grubhub is the industry leader in food delivery, allowing us to provide even greater value to our campus partners and student diners with access to Grubhub’s technology and delivery expertise,” said Daniel Almog, Tapingo’s co-founder and chief executive officer. “By joining forces with Grubhub’s network of over 85,000 restaurant partners that offer online delivery and pickup, we’ll continue to serve our loyal diners long after they graduate from college, which has always been our aspiration.”

Grubhub has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Tapingo for approximately $150 million, subject to standard closing conditions. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2018. Grubhub will discuss the financial impact of the expected acquisition on its third quarter earnings call. Kirkland & Ellis LLP and Fischer Behar Chen Well Orion & Co served as legal counsel to Grubhub in connection with the acquisition. Herzog, Fox & Neeman and Silicon Legal Strategy served as legal counsel and JMP Securities LLC served as a financial advisor to Tapingo.
