Care to divulge your sources or give us more info? Your post has the feel of a teaser, but doesn't seem to offer more (like a link or a way to find out more). I, for one, would like to take a look at this "new map".

If you google The New Yorker and psychopathy you'll find the article I referred to. It's "Suffering Souls" in the November 10, 2008 magazine. I didn't re-read it, but as I recall there was some hope that if children could be identified young enough, they could be helped. Hmm...I'm thinking of Bernie Madoff -- and the guy who let an unpiloted aircraft crash *just anywhere*.

If anyone is still interested in this issue from an old thread, I recently purchased some property and had to parse the survey description and I thought it was interesting. Here is the first sentance (specific references deleted for privacy): "Beginning at a found 3/4" iron rod in concrete 0.1' below grade located at the northwest corner of the herein described parcel and the southwest corner of (name of neighbors) as described in deed book xxx page yy, said iron rod being located on the easterly assumed road bounds of (multiple names of the road), said iron rod being also located S 20°-59'-01"W as referenced to New York State Grid North by 1983 Datum by GPS Observations a distance of 250.34 feet along said road bounds from a found capped iron rod located at the northwest corner of (name of neighbors again) and the southwest corner of (other neighbors names) as described in deed book zzz at page xx and shown on (name of county map) and running;" Then appears the distance and direction to the next survey point. Then there a sequence of similar descriptions , ending with "... to the point of beginning." Very legalese description, but you see that it depends on finding a specific iron rod, the location of which is referred to another iron rod. It also assumes that the referred deed books still exist (some court records have been lost in fires). When I noticed that the Zillow app on my iPhone shows what I guess are plat lines, I tried to locate some of the corners using that data. I could not find all of them, and some I found were off by up to 50 feet. I know that consumer-grade GPS coordinates could be off by that amount, but maybe the plat maps are also off.

Mojomom -- Hoping all goes as planned, with pain relief and fast recovery. The whole Versed conversation dates back to Alisande, I think. She brought up the connection reported between this drug and subsequent 'brain fog'. She felt she'd had the fog, and I did, too. You probably turned up more people also reporting the fog. Back then, I found it interesting that while patients were routinely given Versed for routine colonoscopy, when MD's were having their procedures, it wasn't administered. At my DH's last colonoscopy, I was told they no longer used Versed! I'll be looking for your update on today's surgery and your DH's progress. I may be looking at a similar option one day if my own situation worsens. (How is that sweet Grandbaby?)
