a thread for biochemistry geeks [split from Lance]
Show me one established correlation of seminoma with transfusion/EPO/anabolic staroids/HGH. Just one.
Re: A Very Bad Morning For Lance
Agree with Pego and EGH on the cancer thing - no evidence Lyle Alzado got cancer from drugs, and no evidence that seminoma has any association with PEDs. I was always suspicious about a couple female American athletes (will be careful, don't want to get banned), who had lots of hormonal issues, however.
On Lance Armstrong's cancer and I will also be careful here - cancer is a tough word, it has obvious emotional connotations to many people.
There are good cancers and bad cancers. If I was given the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer or glioblastoma (a brain cancer), I would not be treated, but would only ask for pain medicine and go off to die. But many cancers are now eminently treatable.
In about 1998 I was talking to my best buddy from med school, who is an eminent oncologist in Charleston, and commented that it was pretty amazing that Armstrong had survived his cancer. He told me it was not, that testicular cancer is among the most curable cancers out there. He said if you took your oral boards, and had a patient with testicular cancer who did not survive, you would fail your oncology board exam. I then asked him further, what about in Armstrong's case, with all the metastases, but he said it did not matter, it was completely curable anymore. Again, Armstrong has used this for his own end a lot, and again with connotations, maybe he felt this way, but he always talk about his "death sentence."
The hero here was the oncologist who did have to devise a chemotherapeutic cocktail that did not do major damage to Armstrong's lungs so he could race again.
Like to hear Pego or DrJay's thoughts on this.
Re: A Very Bad Morning For Lance
Although Pego's views are as usual valid and based on current facts, I still don't think they necessarily rule out the fact that Armstrong's drug use may have influenced his testicular cancer. Although A FEW (but most likely not ALL) risk factors for the condition have been established, the actual causes of seminoma type testicular cancers are still unknown. As recently as sixty to seventy years ago most people felt that there was no documented evidence that tobacco smoking could cause lung cancer, and even today in many cases there's still much we haven't discovered yet regarding the actual cause of quite a few medical conditions. Considering the fact that some of the drugs that Armstrong used can affect various hormonal and physiological processes in the body, there's always the possibility that something he used could have played a part in his cancer. That doesn't necessarily mean it caused the cancer in the first place, but if it didn't, there's still always a chance that it may have adversely affected the way, or accelerated the speed, in which the cancer developed...
Re: A Very Bad Morning For Lance
long leap from could to did. Scare stories aren't going to do anything to clean up sport.
Re: A Very Bad Morning For Lance
While this premise is logically sound (you cannot prove negative!), it really does not help much. Either there is a causal evidence of A causing (influencing) B, or there is not. As far as I know, there has been no carcenogenicity established for any agents LA was supposedly taking. I had been under impression that there is a causal link between anabolic steroids and some hepatocellular neoplasms, but my gastroenterologist/hepatologist son tells me that the evidence is highly questionable.
Re: A Very Bad Morning For Lance
I've seen dozens of defenses of the use of certain drugs and PEDs based on the premise that "there's no evidence or scientific studies that show that they cause certain harmful effects"...
The problems are that the "causes" of those harmful effects often haven't been adequately studied or determined yet, and that there are often no scientific studies that show that the drug doesn't cause the harmful effect. I think it's important to keep that in mind. Just because there's no scientific evidence yet that a drug or PED can cause certain harmful effects doesn't necessarily mean that it doesn't, since in many cases appropriate studies have not been carried out. I like to make that point clear, so people don't automatically get the impression that certain PEDs or other substances must be safe to use just because there may not be any scientific proof of harm yet, when the lack of proof could essentially be because there haven't been adquate studies to provide evidence one way or the other, or because enough case reports involving the harmful effect haven't been linked to the substance yet, even though the substance could very well be involved.
There's a big difference between choosing to use a substance that's proven to be safe, and choosing to use a substance that hasn't been proven to be harmful but hasn't been proven to be safe either, especially when adequate studies haven't been done. Often, many potential serious side effects of a substance aren't discovered until somebody finally connects the dots and links the substance to multiple case reports involving a particular harmful effect, and that can often take many years, especially for certain substances whose use may not be widely and publicly reported by some users for obvious reasons...
Re: A Very Bad Morning For Lance
It's just my opinion, but I think there's enough evidence to link the chronic use of anabolic steroids to an increased risk of hepatic neoplasms, and also enough evidence to link EPO at least to increasing the proliferation/growth of various types of cancer, so although it may not have caused Armstrong's cancer, there's a chance it might have sped up the progression and aggressiveness of it..
There are various studies suggesting this, but this is from the required black box warning in the package insert of the prescription forms of EPO:
"Use of erythropoiesis-stimulating agents to achieve a target hemoglobin of 12 g/dL or greater in cancer patients shortened the time to tumor progression in patients with advanced head and neck cancer receiving radiation therapy; shortened overall survival and increased deaths attributed to disease progression in patients with metastatic breast cancer receiving chemotherapy; and increased the risk of death in patients with active malignant disease not under treatment with chemotherapy or radiation therapy. Erythropoiesis-stimulating agents are not indicated for this patient population."
Re: A Very Bad Morning For Lance
The reports I have seen on hepatocellular tumors related to anabolic steroids mentioned primarily incidence of benign adenomas that subsided after the application terminated. Occasional incidence of malignancies did not reach level of statistically significant degree. If you have something better, please let me know.
Your second half of above paragraph, I hate to sat that, but it is an unsupported speculation. I am not aware that LA's seminoma behaved differently from any other. It is a perfectly treatable malignancy at any stage.
I am not suggesting that anabolic steroids (or EPO) are panacea without risks, I just like to stick with evidence based medicine.
Re: A Very Bad Morning For Lance
I like to stick with evidence based medicine too, but would rather err on the side of caution if there's evidence to support both positions or if adequate studies haven't been performed, especially when the positions of healthcare professionals could influence athletes regarding their beliefs pertaining to the safety of PEDs. Obviously most people who use anabolic steroids aren't going to end up with liver cancer, but I think that evidence does support the belief that many medical experts still hold, which is that long term or high dose use of anabolic steroids slightly increases the risk of developing hepatic carcinoma.
I agree that there's no "proof" that any PED affected Armstrong's testicular cancer, but as far as it being "unsupported speculation" regarding EPO increasing the proliferation or growth of certain cancers, below is the FDA warning report regarding EPO and cancer, with a study result table at the bottom. I'm not sure if your position is based on the fact that you feel there's no evidence that EPO can increase the proliferation of certain cancers, or rather, that it's based on the fact that there's no proof that it might affect testicular cancer in the same manner that it seems to be able to affect certain other cancers... Regarding Armstrong's cancer, my initial comment was that there was "a chance" that his EPO usage could have sped up the progression or growth of the cancer based on the way EPO has been shown to affect certain other cancers. My point wasn't that his PED use caused or affected his illness, but rather that it's not necessarily a sure thing that it didn't.
http://www.fda.gov/Drugs/DrugSafety/Pos ... 200297.htm
I don't know which anabolic steroids Lance Armstrong used over the years, but this relatively recent study is interesting since it pertains to certain anabolic steroids and testicular cancer.

Re: A Very Bad Morning For Lance
Thank you for that last link.
Re: A Very Bad Morning For Lance
I was editing my grammar in my last post when you posted this. Tried to get the edit in before anybody replied. Dang it.
Re: A Very Bad Morning For Lance
This isn't directed to Pego since he already knows this, but I wanted to post it as an FYI to make things a little clearer... From the study link:
"Taken together these data clearly indicate that the use of high doses of AAS (androgenic anabolic steroids), as it occurs in doping practice, enhances Leydig cell proliferation, increasing the risk of tumor development. This risk is higher when AAS are used in association with IGF-I (Insulin-like Growth Factor-1). To our knowledge this is the first report directly associating AAS and testicular cancer."
Regarding the quote above, Human Growth Hormone (HGH) stimulates the production of and increases levels of IGF-1 in the body. IGF-1 can also be used directly as a PED, and is also the main active ingredient in those "velvet deer antler" supplements that have been popular with athletes, including NFL athletes. So if this study is accurate, then using certain anabolic steroids together with HGH or IGF-1 increases the chances of testicular tumors and cancer developing, to a greater degree than either substance alone does.
Re: A Very Bad Morning For Lance
Yes, but remember, that is a rat study. Cannot definitively be extrapolated to humans, although it is a piece of the puzzle.
Re: A Very Bad Morning For Lance
It's also cell culture, not invivo.
Re: A Very Bad Morning For Lance
Good points by you and bambam. It's still interesting though, and could very well end up applying to humans in-vivo too. Agreed that more research is needed.
I believe it's already been established that there's a definite correlation between higher IGF-1 levels and significantly increased risks of certain types of cancer in humans, but I'll be interested to see if the results of the study in the link are confirmed as they relate to humans and the use of certain anabolic steroids.
Re: A Very Bad Morning For Lance
Do you have data of seminoma incidence in athletes? Does it exceed the general population?
Re: A Very Bad Morning For Lance
At this point in time no. I'm not aware of a case study compilation or other study so far that's used athletic participation (or PED use) as a demographic for seminoma or general testicular cancer incidence.
There may be additional studies out there that I haven't come across yet... This somewhat dated study from 2000 isn't what you asked for, but could possibly be remotely related...
Re: A Very Bad Morning For Lance
This study raises an interesting question about the results of the study you cited earlier. The subjects in that study were athletes on anabolic steroids. Now, did the increased activity of Leydig cells result from the steroids, activity, or perhaps yet something different?
Re: A Very Bad Morning For Lance
If we're going to start talking epidemiology, are there any studies that show any "clusters" of any kind of cancers in pro athletes? Or that pro athletes as a whole have any higher incidences thereof?
Without a hint along that line (and almost 50 years now of top-end athletes sucking up anabolics in copious amounts), you've not got a very good starting point.
Re: A Very Bad Morning For Lance
I've never said that we have proof one way or another as to whether athletes have an increased risk for testicular cancers. Pego asked me a question and I replied. There's definitely evidence that suggests that there could be a connection between certain PEDs and an increased risk of certain cancers, and with some PEDs there is evidence that they're associated with an increased risk of certain cancers, or possibly an increased rate of growth of certain cancers. These risks may be higher with higher doses and a longer duration of use though.
One of the problems is that in order to track incidence in athletes , somebody has to be able to link these cases together, has to accurately know which patients were top end athletes, as well as what PED's athletes who develop cancers have taken, has to receive funding to do the studies, etc.. Often things like race, age, gender, and geographical area are reported, but I'm not so sure that standard reporting forms ask if a patient was a pro athlete or not, or whether they definitely used PEDs or not...
The nature of testicular cancer makes it a condition that some people prefer to keep private, and the prohibited nature of PED use makes the practice something that some athletes might prefer not to admit to. Current patient privacy laws are stronger than ever now too. IF a study suggests that PED users MIGHT have an increased risk of certain cancers based on certain lab studies, as the anabolic steroid/IGF-1 study suggests, then maybe somebody will start tracking this stuff. But because it hasn't been reported doesn't mean a correlation doesn't exist. It may just mean that nobody's undertaken the study before or that nobody's been able to obtain and compile the necessary data yet. There's not much money to be made by rich drug manufacturers who might be more willing to sponsor a study like this if there was a chance the results could benefit them financially. Also, the fact that testicular cancer and other cancers may not be diagnosed until years after the drug exposure can make studies like this more difficult to undertake as well.
Differences in other habits of athletes could be responsible for a difference in cancer rates too. It's possible that a lower incidence of certain cancers due to possibly a lower smoking rate, healthier diet, or better overall health among athletes as a group, for example, could offset any possible higher incidence of cancer due to PED usage, possibly skewing the results of a simple study comparing cancer rates of athletes to those of the general public.

Re: A Very Bad Morning For Lance
Actually, the subjects were from a rat Leydig tumor cell line, and the conditions were controlled in-vitro. The following study, also from the University of Calabria and with similar results, used the same PEDs but used a human breast cancer cell line in-vitro..
Re: A Very Bad Morning For Lance
Yes, I missed that .
Now I see bambam's and Daisy's observation of that study. Rat's cells treated in tissue culture is much less evidence than I gave it previously.

Re: A Very Bad Morning For Lance
I read the paper and they make an assertion in the introduction that seems strange to me.
They have no evidence that those who got testicular cancer were taking any kind of AAS, let alone HGH. This seems to indicate a conformation bias exists in this paper.
Their conclusions are a little misleading too. They say that:
First, they have not shown convincing evidence that the dose their culture cells receive is the same as that seen by cells in an athlete taking these drugs. Another problem is that the culture cells are probably receiving an extended dose of these drugs compared to a more transient dose for cells in athletes who are taking the drugs in a training regime.
Second, they do not show more cell proliferation when growth hormone is added to the cocktail above and beyond what is seen for the AAS drugs. They did, however, show a higher expression level of the enzyme aromatase. This last observation is the one that seems lead to their conclusion above, "This risk is higher when AAS are used in association with IGF-I".
This conclusion leads from two pieces of evidence they cite in their introduction.
But what is not mentioned is that these increased levels of aromatase are permanent in these mice. That is very different to a transient spike that would seen when taking drugs.
I have a problem with this too. Just because the signature of a cancerous cell is high levels of aromatase, this does not mean aromatase causes the cell to be cancerous.
So what to make of their conclusions? If transient increases in aromatase can cause cancer they they might have a point. But I don't think they have enough evidence to show that this is true. Especially, as gh mentioned above, since we do not see a significant spike in testicular cancer in athletes.
Re: A Very Bad Morning For Lance
But I think that is a little different since there was a statistically significant correlation of lung cancer with smoking. Even if there was no strong evidence. Here it is flipped, there is no statically significant correlation of PED's usage in athletes with cancer, but scientists are looking for evidence.
Re: a thread for biochemistry geeks [split from Lance]
Determining the effect(s) of a cocktail of PEDs is very difficult irrespective of the "known" cancer inducing effects currently in the medical literature. In particular, I am referring to the effects of contaminants, metabolites and drug-drug interactions.
PEDs don't necessarily exist in a pure and FDA-approved form. Who knows where they come from, their level of purity or what contaminates they carry along for the ride.
The fate of PEDs in the body is also subject to individual differences in metabolism. Remember, drugs can effect the body but the body (esp. the liver) can also effect how drugs works.
Re: a thread for biochemistry geeks [split from Lance]
I would guess that impure and widely mixed PEDs would lead to more problems than we would see in a single-drug, controlled trial. Given that we have had a huge, if not very documented, trial of PEDs for many years in many sports without a lot of clusters of drug-induced cancers, it seems unlikely that it makes any sense to attribute Armstrong's cancer to drug use, especially since there is not much identified information on his PED use prior to his development of cancer in 1996, and developing cancer by '96 from usage in the prior year or two is awfully quick.
Re: a thread for biochemistry geeks [split from Lance]
Blues point about EPO enhancing cancer may have some value because cells do better with a better oxygen supply. Duh! Do you really want to provide better oxygenation to fast proliferating cells? Treatments are moving in the opposite direction - http://www.news.cornell.edu/stories/Feb ... 91.kr.html
HOWEVER, despite the seeming logic, gh's point remains valid. You would expect that cancer in EPO endurance athletes would be observable earlier and advance more quickly compared to a normal population but if there is no evidence of actual outcomes like this then the logic doesn't matter, irrespective of how seductive it might be.
Given that EPO has been used by likely tens of thousands of athletes over about 20 years there should have been some indication although you may not see much effect given that the age cohort of EPO users is not very cancer prone.
Re: a thread for biochemistry geeks [split from Lance]
And even if it turns out that the incidence of certain cancers isn't greater in PED users than in non-PED user athletes, it's still very possible that certain PEDs, including IGF-1 and HGH (that can increase IGF-1 levels) can increase the growth and spread of certain cancer cells that may already be present. So although the incidence of cancer might not turn out to be greater in PED users, it's still possible that certain PED users might end up having a larger number of cancers that are more advanced and more difficult to treat or cure at the time of diagnosis, which is still something to be concerned about. I hope we'll see large scale, well controlled and comprehensive studies done in the not too distant future to answer our questions, but I won't hold my breath.

I've been a sucker for mech-style combat since the first days of Robotech/Macross back as a teen in the mid 80's. Outside of the MechWarrior series, mech combat games have been mostly average to abysmal. I enjoyed MechWarrior Online when I
spent some time with it last month
, even though it did have a few issues, and I hoped to enjoy playing the first closed beta weekend of
equally well.
One of the first things I noticed about Hawken was how amazing it was graphically. Set in a futuristic alien landscape, the appearance of the destructible environment is of especially high quality. Mechs displayed in that landscape don't look outlandish, they look like they belong in that slightly shattered but still attractive environ. There's an undercurrent of the anime look to the environment, and to a lesser extent the mechs themselves without overtaking the theme as a whole. Combat animations are solid if not exactly outstanding (yet), but there's definitely satisfactory response from weapons and the results of firing them.
Combat is the strong heart at the basis of the game; pick your mech, upgrade it, customize it and away you go. Combat is fast paced; while none of the mechs I faced could one shot me, taking sustained fire will put your mech out of commission fairly quickly. Each mech has a primary and secondary weapon with an alternate primary available in load out. You can drop items like deployable turrets to help triangulate fire in an ambush style setting, or shields to temporarily add significant protection which comes in very handy when your mech overheats in the midst of a heavy firefight. I survived a battle with two much more powerful mechs by using the shield at a key point. The environment adds a lot to combat with the right mix of obstacles, open space, destructible landscape, and perhaps most importantly multiple levels within each map so you're not just looking around you, you need to keep an eye on the areas above and below you as well. A well placed mech with the high ground is a tough opponent to beat.
In terms of advancement, you start with a base mech and earn your way up to higher quality, more powerful mechs. You can shortcut that earning process by purchasing higher end mechs through an in-game store that like any other free-to-play is the source of support to fund development. I will say my least favorite part of the game was the mech customization; where MWO offers maybe too much customization, Hawken offers not enough. Visual customizations (whether paint or replacement of body components for a new look) and some of deployable or tactical enhancements can be added to each model of mech but you're limited to the primary weapons that come with that mech. I'm hopeful there is flexibility in that in the long term, but I can see from a profitability standpoint why that wouldn't be the case. There's also a skill tree of offensive, defensive and utility skills that you can build through experience earned in game. I played enough to earn a couple of increases to my weapons damage and one decrease to the damage sustained to my mech. The skill tree seemed to really allow players to fit advancements to their personal style of play.
My chief complaint with MWO was that once you died, you were done in a battle. After you die, you're able to leave the battle before it ends, but you're then forced to go back to the waiting room, find a new fight. Hawken solves that problem through the traditional FPS methodology of unlimited respawns during a timed battle. While MWO forces you to think tactically and hope through a combination of hiding, upgrades in your mech, and luck you won't die as soon as you come in contact with a group of enemy mechs; Hawken relies on the tried and true method of getting your right back into the game as soon as you die. This means the learning curve to getting to the point where you can hold your own and really enjoy the game seems to come around a lot faster. By the end of the closed beta weekend, I felt much further along than I had in a similar timeframe in MWO.
Coming away from my few hours with Hawken, I felt like I enjoyed the combat style and graphics far better than I did in MWO, but that some of the content outside of the actual gameplay were not quite as strong. With both games being free to play, you really don't have to choose between them, but it will be interesting to see what changes in Hawken over the next 40 days in terms of customization options for the mechs to see how much additional depth it adds to the experience.

After we literally ordered several dozen rounds, our bill seemed much lower than it should have been. But then again, perhaps the alcohol made the tab all the easier to "digest." Still, prices were reasonable and the ambiance was great! The next time I'm in Big D, I'll definitely pop in again for refreshments.
good job – Staff was friendly and service was quick! I literally ordered my drink, and moments later I was already on my second margarita. To top it off, their drinks seemed especially refreshing after walking around in sweltering heat at midnight.
nice – The staff is always very friendly and helpful. The music is usually chill and they don't play any annoying bs. I've been there with live acts playing Jimmy Buffet and also with the jukebox playing random hits from the past. If you're looking for a low key downtown spot with good people and a chill environment, this is the place.
great service – Flat out excellent service every single time! The bathrooms are super clean which is odd for a bar but it's really refreshing.
Good Time Other Than Weed Deprived Waitress – So a group of 9 of us stroll into this establishment around midnight after an event at House Of Blues three (3) blocks down the road. We walk-in and there was literally 3 people in the bar playing a video game (Golden Tee?) on a Thursday night. One of them happens to be our eventual waitress. It was apparent from the start that we were inconveniencing her when we asked to sit outside on a beautiful evening. We all sit down in the patio area and all are having a great time. We each ordered 2 rounds of drinks and food (decent for pub fare) with our waitress getting everything from a "window" to the bar inside. It was obvious that the scrawny girl was baked/high on something. Things she said were nonsensical. She provided us with a 10 minute warning that they were closing. Fine. She then gave a 3 minute warning and then a 2 minute. Hint received. We all stood up to gather our things and some of us said good bye and thank you. She uttered under her breath DON"T COME HERE AGAIN. We couldn't believe it....especially on a $186 tab where we left the woman a $36 tip. Will not return. Your experience may vary...especially if you tip her with weed.
West End is like home away from home; where everybody knows my name and where I can relax with a drink and some great food! Who could ask for more? They have great burgers and even vegans can find something good to eat. Staff is most responsive and make the place fun. It is friendly and welcoming and supply great live entertainment on some nights.
Now My Favorite Bar – I agree with Tonyo 1's review. West End Pub is my favorite downtwon bar. It wasn't always, but after trying it again last month with some friends going to the Mavs games I changed my mind.
We came into downtown early thinking we would have trouble finding parking because of the Mavs game and a one of the guys said lets park at West End and ride West End Pub's bus. We parked in the lot right next door for $5 and went into the pub for a beer and something to eat. I tried the chili cheese burger. All I can say is AWESOME! The waitress said they make the chili from scratch every day. My date had the chicken salad sandwich. I had a bite and in one word - DELISH. Since that night we have gone back twice and so far service and food have been great. I feel like I am walking into my local bar because the waitress remembers me and what I like to drink.
Great sandwich and potato salad – The potato salad is off the chain and great sandwiches.
This is easily the best bar downtown.
Thank you for the great review. It's patrons like you that make the Pub a great place to party or just hangout with friends.
horrible place to have anything!! – To begin, I would like everybody to know what horrible service I had here. My bartenders name was tony and he was the worst!! He wasn't to quick to help when we needed it. And believe me, I heard a ton of people around me complaining about his service, so I know it wasn't only me. He was also very rude and unattentive!! Now the food. Well there's not much can I say, besides that is was just alright. There wasn't much to any of it. Some of the things I tried was bland and some of it was okay. I'm not a food critic, but it definitely needed a little work. Now let's talk about happy hour!! Yeah, not too happy!! They hand out free h'or derves, which I understand why they are free because I wouldn't pay for them either way!!! Also, the seating is crowded and the environment isn't to friendly. I think I can end with saying I will never go there again!! Now, if you are looking for a good area to go out and have drinks or some really excellent food, I suggest going to VICTORY PARK!! It's most definitely victorious there!!
We are sorry you had a bad experience somewhere, but we don't think it was West End Pub due to the many discrepencies in your review.
1. We don't have nor ever had a bartender or waitperson named Tony.
2. Space is not an issue at the pub.
3. We have a free happy hour buffet serving typical bar food, not hor d' oerves (learn to spell). Buffet foods change daily and many are on our regular menu.
4. Bland? Not on our menu. The cooks and owners have a passion for spicy, savory foods.
5. We must do something right to have so many repeat customers; even ones from places like NYC, London, Hawaii due to the great food and friendly "Cheers" like atmosphere, including many VIP's that just want to kick back and relax.
Trying to get business for another bar by slamming a business open for 22+ years, is unethical. Obviously, many people know better or the West End Pub would not have been open for so long and have very loyal and diverse customers.
Cozy little spot downtown – I work close by and love going to this place. They have free Hor d ourves for happy hour. Its the best and most comfortable place to have a cocktail downtown that i can think of.

The commissioners declined to comment about the complaint, saying they couldn't talk about it. Probate Judge Ryan Robertson, the chairman of the commission, called the meeting to discuss the county's policy on grievances and to discuss how the complaint could be resolved.
Commissioner Bobby Brooks said because the complaint was about the county administrator, the commissioners weren't sure how it should be handled.
"We didn't know where to go with that," Brooks said.
County attorney Doug Ghee told the commissioners the county procedure is in place in lieu of a civil service board. The employee is required to file a complaint with his supervisor, he said. If the issue is not resolved the complaint goes before a board or committee for resolution, Ghee said.
He suggested the commissioners inform the employee of the proper procedure. In addition, Ghee suggested the commission pass a resolution to create the board so it is ready to review complaints as necessary.
"I would encourage you to go ahead and establish a board and have one in place," Ghee said.
Commissioner Emmett Owen asked if he could be a member.
Ghee said the commissioners do not appoint the committee members and only county employees can be appointed.
According to the county's Personnel Policies and Procedures handbook, the employee can file a complaint verbally to his supervisor. If there is no resolution, the employee has the option of filing a written complaint detailing the grievance, previous supervisory decisions, the remedy the employee is seeking and the names of any witnesses, the policy states. The supervisor is then required to investigate and notify the employee of the findings of the investigation and a decision on the issue.
If the employee is not satisfied, he or she can then ask that the issue go before a grievance committee.
The six-member grievance Committee is made up of county employees appointed from among the county's departments. Each member serves a one-year term on the committee.
Owen asked Ghee to notify the employee of the procedure for filing a complaint. He then asked the commissioners to approve implementing the board, which they did unanimously.

A hair must!
By Maude
from New City, NY
See all my reviews
This deep conditioner is so luscious. A little goes a long way and my hair feels soft and smooth after using. It has a rosy smell to it which is a little different than other scents so I like it. I've given this away as gifts as well so others can see how nice it is!
My hair feels like silk afterward
By Lee Bee
from Texas
This is the best conditioning treatment that I have ever used. It moisturizes my hair without making it flat or overly "greasy" like some other rich conditining treatmets or hair masks do. It does not seem to cause any buildup; it rinses easily. Smells luscious too - a faint rose scent.
I do buy this product again and again!
By Anaban
from Kensington, CA
This is one of the best conditioners I've ever tried. I have hair that is permed and colored and this product really leaves it nice. I tried it by sample twice before I bought it and just really love it. Frizzy, flyaway hair be-gone!
Works well, heavy smell
By liz
from columbia, sc
I bought this to use with the LIght and Smooth shampoo - both products work great, but this has such a heavy rose petal smell that I'm always afraid I'll smell like an old lady. I won't buy this again, but if you like the smell of roses it's a great conditioner, moisturizes well.
Moisture to the rescue!
By Diana
from Santa Clara, Ca
I love this product. It never feels to heavy or leaves any residue. My hair feels amazingly soft and healthy.
that delicate aroma!
By walnut
from new york city
It is a special treat for your hair and your senses...
The best I've tried.
By PJ the Pack Rat
from Charlotte, MI
Really helps repair color damaged hair, leaving hair soft and shiny.
I absolutely love this conditioner!
By JP
from Chicago,Il
This is a great conditioner. I color my hair often and this product does an excellent job keeping my hair healthy. A little go a long way, which makes it economical.
Intense conditioning without weight
By Kathleen
from St. Paul, MN
This intense conditioner manages to work without leaving my hair greasy or weighted down. It has a pleasnant rose smell; I am disappointed that the smell is from added fragrance rather than its active ingredients. I first loved DHC for its natural, fragrance free products--now is the time to reexamine their commitment to high quality, natural products!

Photos and Review by Oyster.com Investigators
Unlike the whimsical purple buildings at most other Riu resorts in the Caribbean, this 379-room, 13-story beige high-rise is actually a former Sheraton (the Riu Paradise Island took over the Sheraton Grand Resort in 2004). Most of the year, the resort attracts couples and a few families with its superb beach and large pool, but come spring break (loosely, late February through March) the clientele shifts dramatically. "They be crazy," one bartender explained, "one minute they're crawling on the bar, the next they're throwing up in the lobby!"
The Riu is the only Nassau hotel that offers all-you-can-eat food and all-you-can-drink, name-brand booze as part of its mandatory all-inclusive package. Considering the exorbitant cost of food and drinks at most other resorts in the Bahamas, the Riu could be an incredible value (depending on just how much you're looking to drink). And while the food isn't great -- like most Caribbean all-inclusive resorts -- you're just a three-minute drive from the much better restaurants at the Atlantis mega-resort.
The staff is stretched thin, but the staffers are hardworking and the service is adequate for the price.
In the shadow of Atlantis on Paradise Island, on a great beach and close to the island's best shopping, dining, and nightlife
The Riu is a nondescript, 13-story tower located in the middle of Paradise Island, a five-minute ride from the bridge to Nassau. It is literally in the shadow of the gargantuan Atlantis resort, meaning that it's just a short walk from the broad range of restaurants and attractions at Atlantis, like its pop concerts and aquarium.
Paradise Island is a well-developed, well-landscaped island that can feel a bit like a giant, gated resort community. It's very pleasant to walk its manicured drives during the day, but by night it's dark, quiet, and deserted outside the resorts.
Prime spot with big waves, clear water, and fine sand. But it gets crowded, and there's no bar or free water sports.
The Riu Paradise Island has a prime location on Cabbage Beach. But because this is one of the best beaches in the vicinity of Nassau, hoards of cruise ship passengers high tail it over to Cabbage Beach just as soon as their ships dock.
After completing significant renovations in November 2009, all of the guest rooms are now new, clean, and modern.
Average pool, free tennis, and a gym and spa barely worth looking at. The Riu's best feature is its proximity to the many wonders of Atlantis.
Aside from its beach, the best thing the Riu has going for it is its close proximity to the water park, casino, and aquarium at Atlantis.
Renovated in 2009, but note that smoking is permitted throughout the hotel
The hotel is still fresh off its renovation (completed in November 2009) but like other Riu resorts, smoking is permitted everywhere (including the guest rooms).
Given the large waves at the beach and the resort's emphasizes on its free booze and adult-focused entertainment and activities, it is not the perfect option for families.
Mediocre (at its best), but it's all included in the room rate
The Riu has nine on-site dining options--three a la carte dinner restaurants -- "gourmet," Japanese, and a grill/steak restaurant (each open on a rotating schedule) -- plus a buffet at every meal. As at all Rius, securing dinner reservations at the a la cartes is a huge hassle. The rule is that guests must show up in the lobby between 5 and 6 p.m. the day before their preferred dining time to make reservations for the next day.
Name-brand booze; all included in the price of the room
Bars carry name brand liquor, including Bacardi rum, Jim Beam whisky, and Smirnoff vodka.
Wedding packages here are standard for an all-inclusive, but the beach is spectacular and the whole resort was recently renovated.
After renovating in 2009, the Riu is now a solid all-inclusive option -- just be sure to compare its rates to the far more stunning Atlantis next door. In both cases, you get a spectacular beach, up-to-date rooms, and proximity to upscale restaurants and attractions. At the Riu, you also get unlimited food and booze.

All except for anxious minutes in the first and early second halves.
The Crimson Tide got out to a 24-7 lead, saw the lead dwindle to one point early in the second half, then went on a 22-0 run to handle Colonial Athletic Association regular-season champ Northeastern 62-43 in first-round action in Coleman Coliseum.
Alabama (22-12), left out of the 68-team NCAA tournament largely because of December losses to teams like Northeastern, advanced to a second-round clash with defending NIT champion Stanford or Stephen F. Austin, which played late Tuesday at Stanford.
Second-round games run Thursday through Monday with times and sites are to be announced today. Alabama, one of four No. 1 seeds in the 32-team NIT, will play at home.
Alabama held serve on a night that saw fellow No. 1 seed Kentucky lose at Robert Morris. The NIT is notorious for such anomalies, with teams disappointed about not making the NCAA field and mid-majors eager to capitalize.
"That was obviously our goal before the game, to make a run in this tournament and win it," Alabama junior point guard Trevor Releford said.
Northeastern (20-13) came into the tournament handicapped, going without senior guard Joel Smith. The team's top scorer at 16.1 points a game and a first-team All-CAA pick sat out with an undisclosed injury.
The Huskies also suffered weather-related travel misadventures. Unable to get a flight out of Boston, they bussed two hours to Providence, R.I., sat on a plane three hours, deplaned and stayed overnight. They flew out of Providence at 4 a.m. and arrived in Tuscaloosa at 10 a.m. Tuesday, after leaving campus at 3 p.m. Monday.
Alabama, which came into the game with a 60 RPI compared to Northeastern's 159, looked to have a case of the mehs in the final minutes of the first half. The Tide led just 28-23 at the break after getting out to a 24-7 lead on redshirt freshman guard Retin Obasohan's 3-pointer at 8:16.
Alabama missed 13 of its last 19 shots of the first half, while Northeastern (20-13) wound up 8-for-20 after a 3-for-10 start.
The Huskies took about 12 minutes to adjust to the size and athleticism of its SEC opponent, committing six quick turnovers but finishing the first half with just eight. Alabama scored 14 first-half points off turnovers.
Northeastern went on a 9-0 spurt after Alabama took its 24-7 lead and closed to within 28-23 on senior guard Jonathan Lee's 3-pointer with 33 seconds left in the half.
Releford missed a 3-point try just ahead of the halftime buzzer.
"We matched their energy, and that was really the only part of the game where we did that," Northeastern coach Bill Coen said. "We at least played as hard as they were playing. When you do that, you give yourself a chance.
"During that stretch, we took care of the ball. We executed offense, so we were able to climb back in the game."
Grant said Northeastern's run "was a lot of what we weren't doing" and challenged the Tide at halftime.
"The challenge for us in the second half was to regroup and refocus and get over whatever happened and come out with intensity," Grant said. "I thought in the second half the guys responded.
"Defensively, we really turned it up, caused some problems and got out in transition, and guys were extremely aggressive from an offensive standpoint."
Lee opened the second half with two consecutive baskets to bring Northeastern within 28-27, but Alabama woke up from its slumber. Sophomore guard Trevor Lacey's long 3-pointer as the shot-clock buzzer sounded and baseline drive helped the Tide push back out to a 37-27 lead by 15:53.
Sophomore guard Levi Randolph drove baseline for dunks on consecutive possessions to make it 43-27 at 13:46, and order was restored before sophomore forward Nick Jacobs ultimately capped a 22-0 run with a layup to put Bama up 50-27 at 10:24.
Grant called Randolph's drives "just making plays."
"I was in the corner, and Trevor found me when he drove," Randolph said. "I was able to rip through, and I had a good seal from (junior center) Moussa (Gueye) on the back side, and I was able to go up and finish."
Randolph finished with a team-high 13 points, and Lacey added 11. Releford and Obasohan added nine apiece, and Alabama shot 45.5 percent (25-55) from the field.
Lee led Northeastern with 13 points, and Tuscaloosa native Reggie Spencer (Hillcrest High) added 10. The Huskies shot 33.3 percent (15-45).
Grant said Alabama's up-and-down game of runs was similar to the Tide's season.
"As a team, we've got to get beyond that, and that's the maturity that I'm looking for as a coach," he said. "My expectation for our guys is to understand that, and let's get the maturity and let's stop letting that happen.
"Obviously, you can't always control what another team does, but let's not do it to ourselves."

Breeze Bike Rides in Lincoln
Starting at the Brayford Wharf Starbucks (or if violently opposed to Starbucks the Costa in the Odeon) you can grab a cup of coffee before we set off on a lovely gentle and very social ride to the Pyewipe Inn. We shall be travelling mostly on cycle paths (we can even go under the flyover rather than crossing the road! thanks to cycle paths!). Then when we get to the Pyewipe we can have a lovely social drink, maybe a bit of pie or cake, and a chat inside if it's cold or outside in the sun. Then a gentle cycle ride back to the Starbucks for another coffee if you want before home! Perfect way to destress from the working week ;D
Don't forget…. Breeze are on a mission to spread the word about their rides, and need your help. If you introduce one friend who goes on to take part in a Breeze ride, you'll receive a Breeze water bottle, introduce a second friend, you'll be the proud owner of one of their swish Breeze Buffs, and introduce a third friend and Breeze will send you £15 of Love2Shop vouchers.

Suite 300
Madeira Beach, FL 33708
Study: Most Diabetics Don't ExercisePosted: Friday, February 02, 2007
Doctors don't have the time to teach and patients are too busy to do what is necessary to improve their health! Medical professionals have to do more!
Bad news when it comes to diabetics and exercise: Most people with Type 2 diabetes or at risk for it apparently ignore their doctors' advice to be active. Fewer than 40 percent get exercise, a new study found, and the more in danger the patients are, the less likely they are to be active.
That's despite an earlier study that found nearly three-quarters of diabetics said their doctors had advised them to exercise. The patients who got the strongest warnings to get moving were the least likely to listen, according to research released Friday.
"People should exercise more, that story is out," said Dr. Elaine Morrato, who led both studies. "What we're saying is, 'Here's a high-risk population that can benefit from exercise, and they're even less likely to exercise.'" Without exercise, Type 2 diabetics face complications ranging from nerve damage to high blood pressure.
Morrato, an assistant professor at the University of Colorado Denver with a doctorate in public health and epidemiology, said researchers surveyed more than 22,000 patients for the new survey.
Dr. Larry Deeb, president of medicine and science at the American Diabetes Association, said by the time patients have Type 2 diabetes or are at risk of getting it, the deck is stacked against them. They may already have problems with mobility as a result of obesity or foot and circulatory disorders that make exercise difficult.
"We have to be careful not to blame the victims," he said. "There's a difference between being unable and being unwilling."
Even for the most disabled, there's hope, said author and fitness expert Charlotte Hayes, but health professionals must do more.
Hayes, who wrote "The I Hate to Exercise Book For People With Diabetes," said telling patients to exercise is different from telling them how.
Every step of exercise is important, she said. For those who can walk, a few steps a day helps. For those who can't, there are alternatives. "We take a small-steps approach," she said.
The American Diabetes Association recommends people get at least 30 minutes of aerobic exercise, such as brisk walking, five times a week. But the association says for those who can't, there are benefits from even five minutes a day, along with everyday activities such as gardening or walking to work.
Morrato's team found that just 39 percent of adults with diabetes were physically active, compared to 58 percent of those without diabetes.
Among those who did not have the disease but had risk factors for it, the researchers found that the more the risk factors, the less likely the people were to be active.
Morrato said she doesn't know the answer, only that the results of her study are disappointing.
"It is difficult to be optimistic about addressing the twin epidemics of obesity and diabetes without success in increasing physical activity in the population," her study concludes. "The results of this study provide very pessimistic data."
"When you ask a family what they're doing, the answer is all about time. They know what's good for their families, but both parents are working, and sometimes the only time they have is to pick up fast food," he said. "They have to understand, your health depends on it. "We can't give up."

The first installment of The Columbian's "Getting to Growth" series kicks off the search for a path to recovery, in part, by showing how one company came back from the brink. Columbia Vista's example also sheds light on the broader challenges the county faces as it struggles to effectively position its land, labor and capital.
Read the full story below, or explore the three areas separately.
The last remaining sawmill in Clark County found a way to thrive after the Japanese lumber market tanked in the mid-1990's. As its peers sold off their planers and disappeared, Columbia Vista reinvested in its workforce and found new markets. Columbian reporter Aaron Corvin interviewed Columbia Vista president Bob Lewis on video about the company's return to growth. "Anybody can do the things we did," Lewis said. "You just have to want to do them."
Just as Clark County's over-reliance on one industry for job growth -- housing -- would spur the worst local recession in more than a generation, Columbia Vista Corp.'s over-reliance on one line of business left it teetering on the verge of ruin. To save the company, president Bob Lewis resolved to transform it. A new business plan would undergird everything. Click through the gallery to learn more about how Columbia Vista succeeded.

Dean Curley takes education personally
Finding a career for life is uncommon these days. More elusive are the people who've worked for the same organization for most of their careers. Meredith Curley is one such rarity.
"It's true: I'm a homegrown 'Phoenix,'" Curley quips. The dean of the University of Phoenix College of Education for the past three years has worked at the University since 1994.
"My entire career has been focused on impacting educators' lives, whatever my role," Curley says. She began as a student, earning her post-baccalaureate in secondary education. But after a year of teaching, she returned to the University as an academic advisor.
Eventually, she became director of education operations at the Phoenix Main Campus, then for the entire college. In 2002, she joined the dean's office, subsequently moving up to assistant dean, associate dean and finally into her current post.
"I am so fortunate to work with a group of people who take education very personally," Curley says, noting that her team is as committed as she is to helping educators succeed.
My entire career has been focused on impacting educators' lives,
whatever my role.
This passion — along with the challenge of leading a college that must ensure its array of degree programs meet requirements of individual states — motivates her daily.
One of Curley's earliest projects, she recalls, was to help the University's education programs earn program approval in California. Today, more than a dozen states have issued approvals.
"I enjoy having the opportunity to tell our story and show how we can help people become better educators," Curley says. "Our practitioner faculty are seen as a tremendous benefit by our students and state regulators because they are immersed in the challenges and opportunities in today's classrooms."
It probably doesn't hurt that she's a self-described "research and policy geek," too. Curley holds MBA and Doctor of Education degrees and is active at the state and national level, addressing issues surrounding educator preparation.
Education is never far from Curley's mind as the mother of two teenage sons. "The other day, I watched my eighth-grader [video chat] with classmates for a school project," she says. That moment became motivation for her next challenge: developing more technology-centric resources in the College of Education.
Curley's boys and husband know her "teacher perspective" well. Whether she's organizing an "Amazing Race"-themed party for her sons or making sure family vacations include visits to museums, historical sites and local eateries, Curley knows that everything kids — and adults — do can become a learning opportunity.
A recent vacation to rural Michigan, for instance, showed the family they could live "off the grid" without electronics for a few days. A trip to high-tech Tokyo was the polar opposite.
"It's important to know that there's more going on beyond our own lives," she says.
For someone with such a stable employment record, that might sound out of character. But Curley's singular career path has always been far from routine.

Anna took up a position besides Jang and proceeded to engage with the nearest Sahuagin, clearly enjoying herself as she slashed into the horrible fish-man.
Pirate Steve did the same, albeit for the Sahuagin farthest from the bow.
Nina and Tom Bonne arrived now, the former fully dressed and blushing a bit at the half-nude melee going on. Tom just gave Anna a whistle, which got him a quick wink, as she ducked under the Sahuagin's trident.
Tom managed to shoot the Sahuagin Anna was fighting with his heavy crossbow but the creature didn't seem too hurt by the glancing shot.
Nina didn't have time to fire both of her hand crossbows, and only managed to shoot the Sahuagin Anna was fighting once.
