Extractions: By By Dirk Johnson Newsweek Aug. 8, 2005 issue - It looked like a meeting of the PTA. But these young Iowa mothers were talking about being seduced, and then deeply scarred, by the dark magic of meth. Cory Mathahs, 37, a single mother of three, turned to the drug for weight loss and "the energy to be supermom-doing 10 things at once." Now rail-thin and missing a tooth, she trembled and broke down in tears. "I need help," she said. "I just put myself into treatment." The other women in the room, about two dozen of them, burst into applause. Some wrapped their arms around Mathahs and dried her tears. "There is hope," a voice called out. This is the Ottumwa chapter of Moms Off Meth, a self-help group devoted to helping mothers recover from meth addiction and, often, help them fight to regain custody of their kids. Some of the women come to the Moms group voluntarily. Others have been ordered by the courts to attend. "This is my last chance," said Amanda Critten, 26, whose daughter was temporarily taken away at birth because she tested positive for meth. On the second floor of a regional health center, these women shared stories of horror and encouragement. Marie Gwinn, 20, talked about running from window to window in her house, screaming at the people she hallucinated were trying to break in.

Extractions: Skip to the content of this page showLogin('', 'http://www.fastcompany.com/resources/support/index.html'); How Smart People Work Advanced options The Support Economy discussion group seeks voices for change. 20th century capitalism and its business models are in a downward spiral. A new capitalism for our times and new business models are only beginning to emerge. As consumers, we are frustrated and mistrustful. As employees, we are resentful and exhausted. How can we jump the curve from the old world to the new? Can we invent a new commerce that honors the complexity and uniqueness of our lives today? Can we reignite the engines of wealth creation? Those who figure this out will make a lot of money and make the world a better place. Inspired by the work of Shoshana Zuboff, Fast Company contributing writer, Harvard Business School professor, and author of The Support Economy , the discussion aims to bring together people from every industry and profession who recognize that values realize value. The next era of wealth creation depends on business models that embody trust and advocacy, in which each individual is recognized as the ultimate source of economic value. We'll explore the notions of distributed capitalism and the support economy. We'll share information about businesses moving into this space and examine the new purpose and vision for technology. We'll consider careers, management, and leadership in this new world. The discussion will be supported by

Symptoms of celiac disease can range from the classic features, such as diarrhea, weight loss, and malnutrition, to latent symptoms such as isolated nutrient deficiencies but no gastrointestinal symptoms. The disease mostly affects people of European (especially Northern European) descent, but recent studies show that it also affects Hispanic, Black and Asian populations as well . Those affected suffer damage to the villi (shortening and villous flattening) in the lamina propria and crypt regions of their intestines when they eat specific food-grain antigens (toxic amino acid sequences) that are found in wheat, rye, and barley
