GRANTS PASS, Ore. — If recreational marijuana become legal in the state, Josephine County residents will have a choice on if it's taxed.
Commissioners there have approved an advisory question be placed on this November's ballot. The results will help guide county leaders on making policy changes if recreational marijuana is legalized However, commissioners say, the question is thrown out completely, if the proposed state measure is defeated.
Keith Heck, one of the Josephine County Commissioners says, "If the measure passes, the law passes in November, what do they want us to do? Do they want us to tax marijuana? Not tax marijuana? If the measure fails, obviously this all becomes a moot point."
Any potential tax must be approved by the voters due to terms in the Josephine county charter.

Stunning traditional hotel
Beautifully decorated rooms - attention to detail was excellent. Staff was faultless and very helpful and informative. Great location - very quiet but minutes away from the main attractions of Venice. A truly outstanding experience.
Grom geletaria is top notch and only minutes away from hotel.
nice all over!
A plesant stay in a friendly, quiet, clean hotell!
great hotel
This was a great hotel for Venice. It was only a few blocks from the Vaparrato and a block from a shopping area. We found it easily and liked that it was quiet and very clean. Breakfast was overwhelming - just about anything you wanted and the price for the room was fantastic. The staff was helpful in making reservations. We had the best food in Italy at a little restaurant a block from the Hotel!
The best dinner we had was by Ca'D'Oro - "Alla Venova" address 3912 in Cagnaregio in Venice. telephone 041.5285324. Make reservations or just get take out with several other locals - don't miss the meatballs!
Reasonable price, good location
Short walk from the Rialto bridge, near a main street but a block off it so it is quiet. Helpful, friendly desk staff spoke good English. Room was very nice but bathroom cramped. Would stay there again!
Get a multiple hour/day pass for the Vaporetto, you'll probably be using them a lot and single trips are expensive.

I have been waiting three weeks for a Surefire E2D holster, the website said the holster ships in a week. I have called once and left a voicemail as to when I can expect the holster and I also sent them a email through the "contact us" portion of their website and got no response. I'm not here to badmouth a business, I just wanted to know if anyone has dealt with them before or if anyone has got the specific holster I ordered and what was their experience like.
I would have put this in the "Where's my holster thread" but the OP mentioned that the thread was for leather holsters, I didn't see kydex and I didn't want to assume it was for both.

Hi all, I added 2 pounds of Hard Candi sugar to a recent brew and am trying to figure out the abv in Beersmith. The extract potential for the Candi sugars is 36ppg, where all the other dry sugars is 46ppg. Is the Candi sugar listed in beersmith a syrup? Or is there some other reason why Candi sugar is less fermentable than say, raw brown sugar? If it is a syrup, and I made my own rock candi, can I just use 44-46 ppg as a guesstimate for the extract yield? Thanks in advance
Turn up the good, turn down the suck! -Deaner
36 ppg sounds more like what candi syrup provides, I believe the rocks should be very similar to the gravity contribution of sugar ~42 ppg. That said, why not just go by your measured OG? That will be much more accurate for alcohol determination than the calculated gravity. Or did you add the sugar to the fermenter after fermentation started?
Check out The Mad Fermentationist for my adventures in fermentation and my book: American Sour Beers!
That's what I did, I waited until primary ferment was done and then bunged it in, I didn't want to make the yeast lazy with so much easy sugar lying around. In retrospect I could have sampled and measured before and after adding to assess the contribution but I didn't want to risk contamination. Thanks

Look at how naughty she is, she bares her tits and plays with her perky nipples to tease this horny dude. She lubes it up and uses her expert soft hands to jerks off this big dick while her fingers are busy fondling her pink juicy cunt. She keeps on tugging it with some sweet kisses until he unloads his warm and creamy spunk on his belly. It's really nice to be with someone who will do anything to make you hard and cum isn't it?

Lets be real, if Toyota did the same thing and had some new engine that they claimed was best everyone here would be swooning over it lol. Besides, the Ecoboost isn't really "new" the 3.5L Ecoboost itself has been around for 7 years. It's not like all the other engines in the segment have been around forever. Toyota's 5.7L is only a year older, the engines in the new GM trucks while sharing the same displacement are new this year. The 5.6 in the Titan has been around the longest with no changes. The Ram Hemi has been around nearly a decade with a few tweaks.

There is a great story on ESPN.com about how our solders will get two beers for the superbowl. Some will criticize the choice of beer, of course, but it seems like it means a lot to them.Two Beers in the Desert
I would find a few mormons and get myself a sixer.
Hey if I was over there I will take any beer I can get!
Be careful what you wish for, friend, 'cause I've been to Hell, and now I'm back again- Steve Earle Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.- Albert Einstein "Heroism on command, senseless violence, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism -- how passionately I hate them!"- Einstein, again
Dont worry, I'll keep everyone posted as to what MY two beers will be. God, I hope there is more than Bud.
You know, if you take a mormon fishing, you have to take two. If you only take one, he'll drink all your beer.
Schlitz is decent. It's like hoppy PBR. I dig 'em both when i want something refreshing.

1,500 attend governor's Easter egg hunt
The lawn around the state Capitol was hopping with about 1,500 egg-collecting children Wednesday as Gov. Bob McDonnell and first lady Maureen McDonnell held Virginia's first "Governor's Easter Egg Hunt." Just as the U.S. president traditionally opens the White House grounds for an Easter egg roll, the McDonnells invited children to participate in their free event at Capitol Square. The McDonnells formally greeted their guests after exiting the Executive Mansion accompanied by the Easter Bunny, Smokey Bear, Virginia Commonwealth University's Rodney the Ram, the Richmond Flying Squirrels mascot Nutsy and several other costumed characters. "I want to especially thank the first lady and her staff – all of the people from the First Lady's Initiatives Team Effort – for their great planning," Gov. McDonnell said. He singled out "Sarah Scarbrough, the mansion director, who's been putting Easter eggs together for about three months, I think." After the event, Scarbrough called the egg hunt a success. "We'd love to see it become another Virginia tradition," she said. Eight thousand plastic eggs had been placed all over the lawn of Capitol Square, designated for children of different ages – with some eggs apparently containing more impressive treasures than others. The eggs for the event had been donated by the Science Museum of Virginia, the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, Bow-Tie Cinemas and other organizations, according to a press release issued by Mrs. McDonnell. Students from The Steward School, a college preparatory school in Henrico County, painted the faces of egg-hunters for free. Music and mild weather accompanied the late-afternoon and early-evening festivities as the governor and the first lady mingled with a long line of guests and friends. They included VCU President Michael Rao, his wife Monica and their two children. Some attendees were displeased, however, with the first-time jamboree. "It was unorganized," said Delethia Agyeibi, a mother of two. "When the governor said, 'Go!' or whoever said, 'Go!' everybody went – and they didn't acknowledge the times and the ages for each set area." Agyeibi's children expressed disappointment at not having won any special "prize eggs." But they smiled at the eggs they did manage to gather. As part of the first lady's Serving Our Service Member Families effort, the McDonnells encouraged guests to bring "baby shower gifts for expectant military moms." Mansion staff and volunteers set up boxes for these items around the Capitol grounds, and most of them were full by the end of the two-hour-long event. Children were able to write thank-you cards to members of the military at a booth provided by the United Service Organizations, as well as create bracelets with supplies provided by the Science Museum of Virginia. "We all agree that trying to come together and do what's best for Virginia, trying to solve problems, is the thing that makes Virginia really a great state," Gov. McDonnell said. "Enjoy this time with your family. Have a celebration for the great blessing that God has given us as Virginians and Americans and do the things that you want to do to have fun." Several state agencies helped with the event. They included the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, the Virginia Foundation for Healthy Youth, the Virginia State Police, the Virginia Tourism Corp. and the Virginia Egg Council. |
RAMPS receives $8k grant
Citizen Staff Reports 03/03/2015
RAMPS (Ramp Access Made Possible by Students) recently received an $8,000 grant from the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation. The award was one of 75 grants totaling more than $600,137 awarded by the Reeve Foundation to nonprofit organizations nationwide that provide more opportunities, access, and daily quality of life for individuals living with paralysis, their families and caregivers.
RAMPS, an organization founded by then-Henrico County high school students to build ramps for local low-income residents who need them, will use the grant to purchase modular wheelchair ramp supplies. These supplies will be used by local high school RAMPS clubs, who provide volunteers to build the ramps. > Read more.

Travinia brings contemporary elegance to Willow Lawn
It was another win for Willow Lawn when Travinia Italian Kitchen and Wine Bar opened there six months ago, nestled in the heart of the re-made shopping center. The contemporary American Italian restaurant boasts 13 locations up and down the East Coast, with the Henrico location opening in August.
In the same week, I hit up Travinia twice, once for lunch and once for a late dinner. At lunchtime on a weekday, I was overwhelmed by the smell of garlic and by the number of working professionals in nice suits on their lunch breaks. When we first walked in, I was concerned our meal would be a little too pricey based on the décor – it's a really nice place. Luckily, the menu has a variety of options for every budget. > Read more.

A few months ago $1,350 in traveler's checks was stolen from me during a trip to Thailand along with a few other things from my bag. I did the right thing and reported the checks stolen. I notified American Express as well as the local police. The police took the report and gave me signed a statement regarding the theft.
On the American Express website they write that, "Your money is always safe with travelers cheques", and just below that they add that if your money is lost or stolen, it will usually be refunded within 24 hours. I was sure that all it would take would be a few phone calls, faxes, and I would get my money back safely just like American Express claims.
The nightmare began when I called American Express to report the stolen travelers cheques. Right off, the representative told me that I would probably not get my money back within 24 hours as the website claims, and that I should try to find another way to get money (I was stuck with just $100 in Thailand). They said it would likely be a long process.
In the subsequent months, I found myself having countless discussions with customer representatives, sending dozens of emails along with photocopied documents, bank account statements, my lease agreement (to prove where I live), and answering dozens of questions that included my height and weight and many other extraneous details.
If I had just lost $50 or $100 dollars, I might have given up, as I'm sure many people do, but the amount stolen from me was so great that I keep trying. I kept up with calling, e-mailing, photocopies, faxes, and everything else.
After months of this process, I finally received a letter from American Express stating that they refused to give me back my money even though the checks were cancelled and cannot be used. They claimed, "There is insufficient substantiation that any cheques were lost/stolen from you." In addition, they now claim that all further communication with them must be conducted through written documents only, so basically calling them does me no good.
One word describes the customer service at American Express: Indifference.
I'm 33 years old, I have two degrees – one in mathematics and the other in Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering – I'm clearly not a crook or a scam artist. There is no reason for them to treat me with such indifference and lack of respect. I will never use American Express Travelers Cheques ever again, and I encourage you all to learn from my mistakes.

Very strange indeed if you filed a valid police report
amex.com should have refunded you no problem.Circumstances
must be suspicious for an "inside job" .I deal
with Amex.com daily they are awesome about refunds/disputes
for me.Do not use travellers cheques much these days they have gone the way ofthe dodo.BKK is noted for "inside jobs" travelers cheque fraud.But if legit file a BBB.org complaint
threaten to sue in small claims court if you do not recover
go ahead and sue them I have others in the past judges are sympathetic there are night courts not costly odds are great if the facts are on your side you will recover.
Good luck! -

Some locations operators like Thomas Cook and American Express have been known to refuse to replace the cheques. Generally this happens in fraud capitals like Bangkok or Bombay. The bottom line is that they should eventually play ball but you may need to hound them relentlessly.
They will interrogate you, insist on police reports (in some places requiring a bribe to get) and put you through all the hoops possible before giving in. Yet there are cases where they refuse to honour their agreement and what are you going to do – hire a lawyer and take American Express to court?
The basic reason for their doubt is that there thrives in many countries a black market for stolen traveler's checks. They can be sold for around 40-60% of their value to local scamsters who have back doors into the banking system.
Many travellers do the traveler cheque scam to raise some money -
Report Abuse
You might want to contact the consumer advocate Chris Elliott (http://www.elliott.org/) to see if he can get anything out of Amex. This is really unbelievable!
Report Abuse
How is it an "Inside Job"?? The checks were CANCELLED!
They can't be used. Not by me and not by anyone.
Where's the conspiracy? The checks are just a pile of useless paper.
I've contacted many places, including consumer advocacy groups, and I've also noted that I'm not the only one in this situation.
I'm trying right now to work with the place I purchased the checks to get my money back through them. I don't want to have to sue them unless it's a last resort.
Hopefully others learn from my mistake. -

Qwov.. how do you substantiate your statment of "Many travellers do the traveler cheque scam to raise some money
If the traveller's cheques have not been cashed I find it amazing that they will not replace them.
Seems that that advertising about how great traveller's cheques are, may not be true! -

"There is insufficient substantiation that any cheques were lost/stolen from you."
What is it they were looking for? Do you know what kind of documentation they wanted from you? -
Report Abuse
The one thing you don't mention is the most crucial piece. Do you have the original receipts with the numbers of the travelers checks recorded? If you have that, I"m not sure why you are having the problem. But if you are just trying to get a refund without the original receipts, that's a different story entirely and probably the source of your problems. That's why Amex probably feels that this is a scam.
Report Abuse
The two times I've lost TCs (haven't used them in nearly 10 years) AMEX replaced them w/ almost no hassle. One time it took less than 15 minutes at the amex office in London.
"They claimed, "There is insufficient substantiation that any cheques were lost/stolen from you." In addition, they now claim that all further communication with them must be conducted through written documents only. . ."
My hunch is you either didn't provide the necessary documentation, or something else was fishy. I can't otherwise fathom why they only want written communications. -
Report Abuse
Like Doug mentions, are you in possession of that original receipt that shows the exact numbers of your checks? The slip of paper you are supposed to keep separate from the checks in case anything happens?

Backup Exec 11.D - Service Pack 5 install error
We have a SBS 2003 with the small business edition Backup Exec 11D. The version that was installed came from a download from Symantec. We have been able to successfully install all other service packs until we got to SP5. The install fails with error " Upgrade terminated unexpectedly. Please see installation log for details.". Here are the log files:

I looked in that folder and indeed the file is not there. Is there any way to force this install without the file it wants or do I have to fully reinstall Backup Exec? All other users I could find with a similar problem fixed it by reinstalling.

Hi there,
Look at clearing out all the temp data in your Temp folder, and make sure your BEWS temporary installs are also deleted (I think that is in Application Data under Documents and Settings\All Users).
Try it again. Failing that, you might have a corruption in that file...which would mean you downloading it again.
As far as I know, if it is missing a file, and the installation fails, then it needs that file. There would be no way to force the installer to ignore it...
Alternative ways to access Backup Exec Technical Support:
After reading all the forums on admin passwords, clearing cache, etc. and none of it solving my issue of not being able to install Service Pack 5 - manually or by LiveUpdate - I finally came to an easy solution.
1) Perform repair installation of Backup Exec 11d using add/remove programs. ( I found my .msi package buried, had to do a search - but should be in similar location to: D:\BE11D\WINNT\INSTALL\)
2) Reboot server if required (often can skip this step until after service pack install).
3) Download Service Pack 5 from Symantec.
4) Manually install Service Pack 5. Symantec recommends you be logged on as account with admin privilegs, but can also right click and do the old "run as" if needed.
5) Completed.
Hope that helps!

"What's did, is did"
About this project
In my debut feature I'm following in the footsteps my favorite directors (Sam Raimi, David Lynch, Jim Jarmusch) by creating a challenging and stylish narrative.
Heavy Hands follows Anti-hero Jimmy Lee as he deals with the repercussions of a thoughtless and selfish act.
Set in a harsh country landscape, Heavy Hands is a scary, funny and sexy picture filmed in Wisconsin, New York, Kansas and Colombia on super 8mm stock.
I've been working on this film for going on three years and have used every interesting and unique actor, location or resource I could.
Now it's time to really bring it home. Closing funds I raise through Kickstarter will help me finish editing, sound and any additional shooting that needs to be done. I'll also be looking to enlist the services of one bigger name professional actor/actress.
I know this film can be great. I need these finishing funds to bring the vision of this film full circle.
I want as many people to see and enjoy the film as possible. That's really the bottom line.
In the end I want to use the success of this film as the start of something bigger - not just for people in Milwaukee but for all the talented people I grew up with in Walworth County and all the people I've met in my travels.
So let's do this. Let's make it happen.
This is Sean Williamson's feature directoral debut. He recently directed and produced the "Sing (For Trouble)" music video off of Altos, Altos. Sean played in the band Farewell to Twilight from 2000-2010, the band Hot Coffin in 2012 and authored two novellas, "House of Will" and "The Wild Introduction". Williamson and Parker Winship founded the online lit/art/interview magazine www.worldwidedirt.com in 2007.
Producer Frankie Latina's directoral debut, Modus Operandi, has shown at the CineVegas, AFI and Milwaukee Film festivals. It was included in Roger Ebert's most recent book and is currently being distributed by Kino. It is available though Amazon, Netflix and Redbox.

Safiyeh a-Najar from Khuza'a describes life after Operation Protective Edge. The town of Khuza'a lies in south Gaza, about 500 meters from the Israeli border. The town council listed some 15,000 residents before the operation, in about 2,000 homes. Residents told B'Tselem that on 22 July 2014, 2 days after ground forces entered Gaza, the town was heavily attacked and many fled to schools in nearby Khan Yunis. The UN listed 556 homes damaged, 336 of them destroyed. Many residents still live in UN schools, trailers, or with relatives. Some, like a-Najar's family, are living in rough conditions among ruins.

"I loved these as I used them to add both of our last names to the outside of the envelope. I wanted to do this, as there is only room for the first names on the save the date. They worked great and added some color to the outside of our save the date envelopes. The looked great and were easy to apply."
"These added a nice colorful touch to the envelopes! I liked that you can change the font, and make it exactly how you want it. I asked for two names to be on mine, and they turned out just as I had hoped!"
"I purchased the pink color and the labels are beautiful. I selected the silver envelopes and the wrap around really made the back of the envelope unique. I highly recommend the pattern, the pink and grey is elegant, sophisticated and soft with a touch of antique/vintage inspiration"
"I bought these for save the dates I'm sending out. I didn't realize they were wrap around labels. Totally my fault for not noticing. It turned out perfect, these help to seal the envelop."
"Ordered these for my save the date envelopes and they were a HUGE hit! Designing and ordering was a breeze! The design team was so easy to work with and the proofs were ready so quickly! Just be careful if you have metallic envelopes, sometimes they don't stick right away. Other than that they are awesome! Adds so much class to a plain envelope!"

jungle akali Oo
really no point ? or is it decent/good i know she better laneing i main her first champion i brought xD so i know how to build use her. but yeh i've tried it, done 2 games with it got like 8/0/1 and like 6/0/2 playing against baddies tho so i didn't really get to test it out both those teams surrendered at 20 just your thoughts would be nice
-reason i jungle with her if we don't have a jungler or somone else wants mid -with blue i can do abit more burst without having to worry about energy like spam E in her combo -red buff is just nice on her early game when you don't have rylai's yet or u can delay getting it since you got red -vsing other junglers yes i guess she weak at that till lvl 4 and 6 i say 4 coz thats when i get my point in W easier get away from a gank -starting with cloth armor and +5 pots vsing another jungler you have the upper hand as most other junglers are doing AD dmg -i use 21/8/1 masterys 7AD reds 2 MP reds 9 armor yellows 9 AP/lvl blues 3 flat AP quints -i can clear jungle pretty fast keeping up with solo lanes lvls till about after lvl 4 always at least 3/4 hp during it -her ganks pre 6 isnt to bad you do have abit of a slow when W is used right -great counter jungle after 6 -free to roam and gank all you want what akalis best at i take flash smite flash > ignite flash helps you get away from a early gank or jungler good for early gank for the gap closer never go wrong with flash on akali just and your opinions and thoughts would be great ^^ |
Anyone can jungle now so why not akali?
My main concern would be later game during the team fighting stage, since akali is squishier that a traditional jungle. For it to be optimal you would need a tanky team around you. But if you are making it work, more power to you. |
I play Jungle Akali in ranked, around the 1250 range. It's most definitely viable and it's very very scary post lvl 6. Akali is my strongest main, but because she has so many counters top and mid lane, playing her in the jungle can definitely catch a lot of team comps by surprise.
should definitely try it out. |
As long as your laners have some CC and you take flash on her, her burst makes up for her lack of CC and you can focus someone down quite quickly (Bot Lane - Alistar, Leona, Vayne, etc / Top Lane - Cho'Gath, Singed, etc). I've seen her do exceptionally well.

Are we a victim ? Chad Jackson hasn't been healthy since we drafted him, Reche Cladwell is a training camp superstar (who once blew out his knee), but hasn't been able to translate that to the game. Remember that one WR who never played a game (was it Jacquez Green of the Dolphins ?). Jabar Gafney, Taylor Jacobs, Travis Taylor. None household names or allstars. Only Ike Hilliard and Darrell Jackson have had some slight success. Yet oddly enough, WR's from Miami & Florida State have found more success in the NFL. Are we now and forever......DOOOOOMMMMMEEDDD ?
Chill out, wait for the regular season and see how Caldwell progresses. He's made a few shakey plays or mistakes but he is new to the offense, maybe he'll grow into it.
What about Chris Collinsworth? He was a Damn good WR who played for the Gators. As for the WR who went to Miami, it was Yatil Green (though I don't believe he went to Florida) . It wasn't Jacquez Green. Jaquez Green played for Tampa Bay.
DaBruinz is correct. Yatil Green is the wr from the Dolphins but he played for Univ. of Miami, not UF. Here is a little link on Yatil's "history" with the Phins. http://www.thedolphinsmakemecry.com/rod-yatil-green.html
THe WR curse is generally due to spurrier..who also created the QB curse. In the "Fun n Gun" with it's over emphasis on passing it overinflates the numbers for WR's and QB's. So generally they suffer in the NFL because they get less balls thrown to them to capitalize on. Also scouts will look past some deficiencies by staring at their stats.... Ike and Darrell were good receivers in a passing system while the other were OK receivers in a passing system. Chad Jackson however was never in the Fun n Gun. He was in Zook's more conservative offense(where he was an excellent deep threat) and in meyers Option offense (Where he was switched into a short-medium threat purposfully). Remeber college curses can be broken...Larry johnson is from Penn state! and we all know about penn state RB's...
Don't be ridiculous. What do Chad Jackson, Terrell Owens, and Steve Smith all have in common? They are all suffering from hamstring pulls. It happens, and needs to be treated delicately.
The only muscle I've ever pulled in sports were my Quads (both of them, I pulled one, ignored it, favored the other, then pulled that one too.) and that was rediculously painful. After I stopped trying to ignore it and sat down for a while the pain got to the level of what I'd imagine it feels like to be stabbed with the knives left in. In both legs. But I've always heard that hammy's are worse. I wouldn't want to be any one of those guys.

I searched the news archive and saw references to e2fprogs providing that shared object.

Just when I thought they were going to put statins in the water supply since everyone I know is on them, my friend Dr. Barbara Roberts writes a book that urges us to take a closer look at the whole question of cholesterol management.
Barbara is so great in her field of cardiology, that Miriam Hospital (one of Providence's premier facilities) built an entire women's heart health unit around Barbara's skills.
So here's the summary from the publisher (Simon & Schuster...not exactly chopped liver) and the link to grab this important new paperback before it actually hits the bookstores in a few weeks.
Synopsis by Dr. Barbara Roberts
Statin medicines to lower cholesterol were approved in the United States in 1987. Over the last few decades, I have been prescribing statins for my patients when it was indicated, and, initially, these medicines seemed safe and reasonably well tolerated. But the more I have learned about statins, both from the experiences of my own patients and in the medical literature, the more concerned I have become. As more and more people have taken statins, there have been more and more reports of serious and sometimes fatal side effects. Now that statin use has accelerated, I feel compelled to share the results of my research into this powerful class of medicines.
Every day, in my practice I see patients who cannot tolerate statins. Some of them complain about muscle aches and weakness, or tendonitis, while others struggle with frightening memory loss and difficulty concentrating. These side effects may not be as rare as we've been led to believe.
Some people can take statins and not develop side effects. But how necessary are statins in the first place? Do they really help prevent strokes and heart attacks? Nowadays, doctors are advised to knock down their patients' cholesterol to very low levels with high doses of statins. But cholesterol, far from being the villain it's said to be, is a vital part of every cell in our bodies. This waxy fat, produced primarily by the liver, is absolutely crucial for the normal functioning of muscles, nerve cells, and the brain. It's also the building block that our bodies use to manufacture many hormones, including the reproductive hormones estrogen and testosterone. How will our muscles, brain cells, and nerves react if they are chronically starved of a chemical that is so necessary for their proper functioning?
These and other important questions about statins need unbiased, scientifically valid answers. Why do women seem to derive less benefit from statins than men do? Why do women report more side effects from statins? What questions should you ask your doctor if he/she wants you to take a statin? How solid is the science that is used to justify treating people with statins? What is now at stake for the pharmaceutical industry (Big Pharma), the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the medical profession, and, most importantly, the people who take statins?
In researching these issues, I pored over the studies that were used to justify treating people with statins. I spoke to my own patients who'd experienced side effects from the drugs, and to other people who'd heard of my interest in statin side effects and contacted me. I educated myself on the interactions among Big Pharma, the FDA, and the medical profession.
The FDA is responsible for reviewing and approving any new prescription drugs that pharmaceutical companies want to sell to the American public. The FDA not only certifies all new prescription drugs but also must approve any new use of existing drugs. However, once the FDA approves a drug, physicians can prescribe it for anything they choose. Unapproved indications are called off-label uses of a drug. Doctors can prescribe, but pharmaceutical companies cannot advertise, off-label uses of a drug.
Statins are approved to treat high levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (so-called bad cholesterol). In most cases, they are prescribed for people with high levels of cholesterol or with built-up fatty deposits called plaque in their arteries: those who either have or are at risk for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Several scientific studies found that statins lowered the risk of cardiac events in people with established atherosclerosis. ("Events" is the neutral term we doctors use for really bad outcomes like heart attacks and death.) However, the benefit was modest and was less in women than in men. Furthermore, despite statin therapy, people with ASCVD still had a high residual risk, that is they had an increased risk of heart attack and stroke even when their LDL cholesterol was brought to very low levels. There were also studies that showed benefits of statin therapy in people without cardiovascular disease but with elevated levels of LDL cholesterol. This benefit was found only in men, however, not women.
In February 2010, based on a study called the JUPITER trial, the FDA expanded the indication for statin use. It now included healthy men ages fifty and older and healthy women ages sixty and older—even those with normal levels of LDL cholesterol—if they have evidence of inflammation in the body (indicated by elevated levels of a substance called high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, or hsCRP, in the bloodstream), plus one other risk factor for developing heart disease, such as smoking or high blood pressure. This new indication for rosuvastatin (Crestor), the statin used in the trial, could add six and a half million healthy people—who exhibit no evidence of ASCVD and have normal cholesterol levels—to the number taking statins.
The trial recruited close to eighteen thousand people who were free of diagnosed heart disease. It included healthy men ages fifty and older and healthy woman ages sixty and older who had normal levels of LDL cholesterol but elevated levels of hsCRP. Half were treated with rosuvastatin and half received a placebo, or inactive "dummy" pill. The trial was scheduled to last five years but was stopped prematurely "for benefit" after an average follow-up of just under two years. This means that the investigators felt that the benefit of the statin in lowering the risk of cardiovascular events was sufficient to end the trial before it was scheduled to end. So based on the results of this study, the FDA approved wider use of rosuvastatin.
The JUPITER trial was paid for by AstraZeneca, the pharmaceutical company that makes Crestor. The principle investigator, Dr. Paul Ridker, developed the blood test that measures hsCRP, and he receives royalties from its use. Both AstraZeneca and Dr. Ridker stand to make a fortune as this new indication for statin use is implemented.
But are the results of this study all they are cracked up to be? Might the findings have been different if the JUPITER trial lasted five years, as originally specified? Was the FDA correct in approving this new indication for rosuvastatin? Were there differences in the results for women compared to men? The answers to these questions may shock you and make you question your physician if he or she wants to put you on a statin.
In exposing the shoddy science that underlies many of the "guidelines" that doctors are told they must follow in treating their patients, and in exposing the rampant conflicts of interest among the FDA, Big Pharma, medical scientists, medical centers, and professional medical organizations, I risk being declared a pariah in the medical community.
But this story must be told. If you or someone you love takes a statin, please read this book. It might just save your life.

Around the same time I worked on some epidemiological research that came up with results indicating that among a certain class of girls - n=+600 - a much larger sample than some research that's loudly trumpeted in the press, the ones who spent more time watching TV and had higher calorie diets weighed less than the ones who were more active and ate better.
I didn't shut down completely on the subject, just retained some skepticism, especially about short-term research results.

The High Line made a name for itself by turning land atop an elevated rail line into a flourishing park, but can the same be done for spaces underneath these kinds of structures? The Design Trust for Public Space is embarking on a plan to transform areas under New York City's plentiful bridges, elevated highways, subways and rail lines into places for community engagement and artistic inspiration. Their project, Under the Elevated: Reclaiming Space, Connecting Communities, will bring together local community leaders, planners, architects, artists, and cultural organizations to develop strategies to maximize the functionality and use of these often-abandoned and sometimes downright scary areas.
"Much of the space below NYC's elevated transit infrastructure is composed of either parking, storage, or vacant space. We see an opportunity to increase the functionality of these spaces and identify permanent or temporary uses that will enliven the public realm of neighboring communities. For example, we are pleased that the Chinatown Partnership will be a collaborator on this project," says Wendy Feuer, Assistant Commissioner for Urban Design & Art at DOT. "By working with the Design Trust to develop guidelines for the design and use of these spaces, we can look forward to well-thought-out recommendations that will be respected by design professionals and community organizations alike."
According to the press release, Under the Elevated will produce design guidelines in addition to programming and policy recommendations that will inform the transformation of spaces citywide and around the world. To accompany the new project, Design Trust is also calling for submissions for their urbanism fellowship that will focus on "life under and around elevated infrastructure in New York City" (applications due May 23).
Under the Elevated will succeed the Design Trust's 2001 project, Reclaiming the High Line, in which a planning and feasibility study helped to rescue the structure from demolition. And we all know how well that turned out…

Involvement:Novice (still getting used to it) - Ownership:1 day to 1 week
Pros:Easy to use. Good sound. Worked well with IPHONE4 (did not try with other devices).
Allows you to set the device to any frequency that is not in use.
I manage to get good and clean sound in my car.
I did not manage to make the device charge the IPHONE. When connected, the IPHONE gives me a message that it can't be charged by the device.
Seems like a useful and cool gadget.
You can control the volume using the device, but the songs are played are controlled through the IPHONE.
Great buy for a great price.
