Sort of that feeling of "let's have fun and let go!"
As to the original topic of the thread, I rather enjoyed what I saw of their FD. Granted, it was not a perfect performance and I do think the choreography itself could do with some tweaking but I think it has a lot of potential and would love to see what improvements they'll add to the program over the course of the season. But to be honest, I think with D/W & V/M, the question of winning/losing will depend more on the performances the day of competition. Although the teams have different unique strengths, it's not like they're complete slouches in their respective 'weaker' areas...
Yeah, when we talk about one of these two couples being stronger or less strong than the other in some element, we're talking about grade A vs. grade A+, not about A vs. C or D.
Another point: Tessa, Charlie, and Meryl are all dealing with innate physical challenges that are not based on injury. Tessa's compartment syndrome is obviously the result of some physiological anomaly of hers, because other ice dancers train just as much but don't get this problem. Meryl's vision problem and Charlie's asthma (and Yuzuru Hanyu's) are also in this category. So what we're seeing here are athletes who don't start out with the most perfect, ideal physical equipment, and yet they don't accept the limitations of their respective conditions. They just keep going and getting better and better. That's incredibly inspiring.
What is Meryl's vision problem?
AHA. I have been saying to my friends for years that there was some problem with Meryl's eyes. When I sit close enough in practice, I have noticed that she is constantly blinking and touching her eyes and make-up. I thought maybe she had problems with her contac lenses or the lights or something. I am glad to see this in print. Yay for Meryl and her perserverenceWhat makes their accomplishments even more remarkable: Davis is dyslexic and lacks depth perception.
"When she was younger she would pretty much hug the boards because she had no depth perception," her mother, Cheryl, said. She also has trouble seeing with her right eye.
When Davis skates during warm-ups, she tends to stay close to the boards, away from the couples also warming up. "It's pretty scary to not know how far away the other skaters are from you," Cheryl said. "She depends on Charlie a lot for that. He protects her. She's been with her for so many years he knows what she needs."
We also noticed at the Salt Lake Classic that when Meryl and Charlie are just skating around - warm-ups and practice - Meryl is always on the outside of the circle. I'm guessing now it's because it puts Meryl closest to the boards where she can get her bearings better.
When competing, Davis memorizes where the painted lines are on the ice so she can get her bearings. But there's been times when she's had to compete on ice without such markings.
Cheryl would like her daughter to share her story, but Meryl has resisted. She doesn't want to talk about her vision problems or have judges and fans think it's a factor when she's on the ice.
But those closest to her marvel at the obstacles overcome and view her as a role model for others with the similar dyslexia-related issues. "She's just learned to accommodate her whole life with it," her mother said. "It's surprising that she has done as well as she has."
Davis, a student at the University of Michigan, said she became a stronger person because of it. She tells kids facing similar challenges that self-belief and determination will help them reach their goals as well.
Charlie`s asthma is not nearly as debilitating as what some of us have but regardless both teams work very hard; they have too and they have to practise smart too especially Tessa. In fact, i was going to say it is amazing V and M can stay remotely competitive considering the injuries.
IMHO Davis and White will win. I agree V and M have not improved as much for whatever reason; I would say though D and W have stagnated or limited musical range however that does not reduce their scores - that is the name of the game. It is about playing smart - fair or not (it is fair depending on who you want to win lol). I would love to see V and M give D and W a run for their money but I do think D and W will win short of a some error.
Be that as it may, in the skating world, these two splendid couples are almost equally praised and admired, and almost equally gifted and accomplished, though different in some aspects, and it sometimes seems as if one could toss a coin to decide which one should win in a particular competition. This alone will make the season even more tense! Nothing is really a shoe-in at this stage, it seems.

Two of the world's most famous cocktails, the storied mint julep and fun-loving margarita, take center stage this weekend in back-to-back celebrations of horse racing and Mexican heritage.
On TV
What: Broadcast of the Kentucky DerbyWhen: 6:24 p.m. Saturday locally on WCBD (NBC)
On one level, these two drinks couldn't be more different. Brown, caramelly bourbon is the basis for the mint julep, and clear-to-amber, often biting tequila for the margarita. One is minty-sweet, the other tart-sweet.
Libations' origins, places in history
The mint julepMint juleps began as the Arabic drink "julab," or water and rose petals.Early Virginians added spirits, brandy or rum, in the late 1700s and mint soon after the turn of the century. (However, some say mint replaced rose petals much earlier in the Mediterranean.) Over time, local whiskey, then bourbon, became the spirit of choice. The mint julep also became a potent symbol of Southern hospitality.The Kentucky Derby adopted the mint julep beginning in 1938, the first time the drink was served at Churchill Downs in a glass marked "Kentucky Derby." People kept those glasses as souvenirs and the tradition was born.A longstanding debate is whether to muddle or not to muddle. (We vote for muddling.) Whichever, the best herb is a bright spearmint. The "Kentucky Colonel" variety is perfect for the job. Best of all, it's a cinch to grow your own.The margaritaIt's likely no one did more to popularize the margarita than singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffett, whose 1977 hit, "Margaritaville," remains an endearing ode to the aimless.The actual "inventor" of the margarita is elusive. One story traces the drink to Tijuana, Mexico, and a racetrack bar in 1930. Another to Bertha's Bar in Taxco, Mexico; and others to south-of-the-border watering holes in Puebla, Juarez, Ensenada and so on. Some claim the drink was named for a woman named Margarita or Marjorie, and even American singer Peggy (Margaret) Lee. Another theory is that the margarita is a remake of an older American drink called the Daisy, with tequila instead of brandy. Margarita is Spanish for Daisy.Teresa Taylor
Yet they have common ground (besides the leadoff letter "M"). Both are seemingly simple potations to make yet have subtle complexities. Also, few cocktails are so closely associated with a certain day of the year: the Kentucky Derby on Saturday and Cinco de Mayo (the fifth of May) on Sunday.
To get in the spirit (pun intended), we talked to local bartenders about classic versions of both drinks as well as those with a twist or spin.
A classic act
The search for knowledge about a traditional mint julep led to, where else? The Thoroughbred Club inside Charleston Place hotel.
Bartender Jerry Massey says that while mint juleps are not the lounge's signature drink, "We do make quite a few of them."
Among the most curious are people from outside the South. As he forewarns, a mint julep is a stiff drink. "The name is deceiving, like it's an iced tea," he says.
The ingredients are few and the technique simple, but Massey says both make a difference.
For starters, his choice of bourbon is Woodford Reserve. "It's has just the right mix of the sweetness for a mint julep.
The simple syrup is just that: one part sugar and one part water, mixed together until the sugar dissolves. (Hot water or boiling together aids the dissolving.) Make as much as you like; likely there will be some left over, which can be stored in the refrigerator for later use. "It's wonderful for sweetening tea," Massey points out.
Use restraint when muddling the mint, Massey says. "You just want to bruise ... just enough to bring out those minty oils. You don't want to masticate it and turn it into creamed spinach."
The role of the crushed ice is very important, he says. It adds just enough water to cut the full force of the bourbon. The ice can be crushed in a blender, but lacking that, wrap ice well in a sturdy hand towel and use a muddler or other blunt object to smash it.
Classic Mint Julep
Makes 1 drink
4 sprigs mint, preferably spearmint; reserve one for garnish
1/2 ounce simple syrup
Crushed ice
11/2 ounces bourbon
Sprig of mint for garnish
Place mint in a rocks glass or julep cup. Use a muddler to slightly bruise the mint.
Pour simple syrup over the mint. Fill the glass with crushed ice. Pour the bourbon in and stir lightly to melt some of the ice. Top off with more crushed ice. Garnish with a sprig of mint.
Morgan's Perfect Margarita
Makes 1 drink
At the new Mex 1 Coastal Cantina west of the Ashley, bar manager Morgan Hurley says the most important factor in a good margarita is the quality of the tequila. It should be no less than 100 percent agave, distilled from the blue agave succulent plant indigenous to Mexico.
"It doesn't have the bite of a 'mixto' tequila (meaning mixed, a minimum of 51 percent agave with other sugars), and it provides less of a hangover."
(Want to know all about tequila? Hurley recommends visiting the website titled "In search of the blue agave" at www.ianchadwick.com/tequila.)
Second, a margarita's balance is critical, he says. That means the proper proportion of tequila with the citrus juices and the sweetener, like agave nectar or simple syrup.
11/2 ounces 100 percent agave "reposado" tequila (see note)
1 ounce freshly squeezed lime juice
1 ounce agave nectar
1/2 ounce Cointreau or another orange liqueur
Note: Reposado tequila is a mellower one, aged between two months and a year.
Also, if desired, wet the rim of the glass and dip it into kosher salt before pouring drink. Also, keep limes at room temperature (or put in a bowl of warm water if refrigerated) to get more juice from them. Press and roll across countertop before cutting.
Combine ingredients and shake with ice, then strain over fresh ice in a tall Collins glass.
Go for a spin
For a mint julep with a spin, we turned to Jackson Holland of The Cocktail Club on Upper King Street. Here's why:
"A mint julep is a delicious classic, but a true classic julep may be too strong for some people," he says. "The chocolate takes some of the bite away."
Holland favors Buffalo Trace bourbon "because it is really well-rounded and not too 'hot' (high proof). This infuses with the vanilla (bean) very nicely in 24-48 hours."
Three Strides Before the Wire
Makes 1 drink
21/2 ounces vanilla-infused bourbon
3/4 ounce chocolate mint simple syrup (see note)
Splash of Marie Brizard Chocolate Royale liqueur
Chocolate mint sprigs for syrup and garnish
Shaved chocolate for garnish
Note: A simple syrup may be made with 1 cup sugar and 1 cup water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and stir until sugar dissolves. Take off heat and cool to room temperature. Refrigerate, tightly covered, up to a month.
To make chocolate mint simple syrup, add one bunch of chocolate mint to syrup while still warm. Puree and strain.
Add bourbon and simple syrup to a cocktail shaker with ice. Stir quickly and thoroughly. Double strain into a silver julep cup filled with crushed ice. Float splash of Marie Brizard Chocolate Royale on top. Garnish with a chocolate mint sprig and shaved chocolate.
With a pineapple twist
We visited Taco Boy on Huger Street to check out a margarita with a twist. There, we found a house specialty margarita made with pineapple-infused tequila.
Bartender Jessica Youngblood couldn't give out the exact recipe — for one reason, Taco Boy makes its own sour mix — but she did describe it generally.
It starts with the infusion process (see the big glass jar sitting on the bar top). An entire pineapple cut into large chunks is submerged into the tequila, along with three vanilla beans and three cinnamon sticks. There it stays for a week before being strained and bottled. Also going into the margarita is a housemade sour mix of orange and lime juices and simple syrup.

Joined by some of Holmes's family, the actress, 34, and Cruise, 7, soaked up the sunny, 90 degree weather on Sunday, taking a break from the beach to have lunch at Summer Kitchen Cafe.
"Everyone looked like they were having a great time," a staffer tells PEOPLE. "Katie had a chicken salad and the table was drinking iced tea. There was a lot of laughing. Suri was really polite and so well behaved."
The source adds that the entire table was decked out in "beach attire" with Holmes wearing "a one-piece pantsuit cover-up."
Despite the bustling restaurant, most patrons "left Katie alone and respected her privacy."
Later that day, Holmes stepped out (without her daughter) for a little shopping with a friend in Seaside. The duo stopped inside Duckies Shop of Fun but left without buying anything.
"She just walked around looking," an employee says. "She wore her hair up and no makeup. She was just casual and relaxed."
Holmes stopped into several more shops, including Willow + Woods, a boutique for men and women.
Says one staffer there, "She was really quiet. We barely knew it was her."

A Tough Matchup: Aubrey Huff Faces Anxiety
By Brendan McLean, NAMI Communications Coordinator
Every season, more than 100 Major League Baseball (MLB) players are placed on the disabled list (DL) for injuries such as sprained ankles and torn ACLs. This past week, when the San Francisco Giants placed first baseman and outfielder Aubrey Huff on the 15-day disabled list, it wasn't for a physical injury—it was to cope with an anxiety disorder.
"My goal is to get back on the field as soon as possible. To do that, I have to focus completely on getting well," Huff said in a statement. "I know I'm in a public job, and I've been one of the more open guys. But sometimes you have to pull back and work on things in private. This is one of those times."
Huff also indicated that he had received an "outpouring of support" from fans, media and the Giants organization. "I'm especially grateful for the texts and calls from my teammates, who are like my brothers and have let me know they're here for me," he wrote.
Struggling at the plate and on the field, Huff is also currently going through a divorce. The buildup of stressful events may have played a role in leading the MLB player to seek treatment for his anxiety.
Huff is not the only player in recent years to land on the disabled list for mental illness. Zach Grienke, at the time a pitcher with the Kansas City Royals, was diagnosed with social anxiety disorder in 2006. Three years later he would go on to win the Cy Young Award. In 2009, Cincinnati Reds first baseman and future National League MVP, Joey Votto, experienced depression and anxiety. That same year, Detroit pitcher Dontrelle Willis (anxiety), Oakland pitcher Justin Duchscherer (depression), St. Louis shortstop Khalil Greene (social anxiety disorder) and Arizona pitcher Scott Schoeneweis (depression) also all spent time on DL.
In his just-released memoir, New York Mets' pitcher R.A. Dickey revealed his contemplations of suicide, after the shame of having an affair and being the subject of sexual abuse as a child became unbearable.
Manager Bruce Bochy of the Giants told the San Francisco Chronicle that mental health issues are not uncommon in baseball, just more public now.
"These players, they deal with pressures of life, whether it's home, personal or on the ball field," he said. "I'm sure it was there when we played. Guys probably weren't as comfortable about it and weren't as likely to talk about it openly."
However, one player from a previous era who did share his experience with mental illness was Jimmy Piersall, a major-league outfielder in the 1950s and 60s. In his autobiography, Fear Strikes Out: The Jim Piersall Sotry, he documented his battle with bipolar disorder.
With more players stepping forward and acknowledging their struggles with mental illness, the stigma of living with mental illness will begin to subside. Having public figures such as MLB players disclose their experiences with mental illness can help encourage individuals who look up to them do the same.
Although it does not appear Huff will be back in action in the immediate future—the San Jose Mercury News reported Bruce Bochy talked with Huff on the phone this past Saturday, and said he does not expect him back for "a while"—one can only hope that his time away serves as a calm repose that will allow him to return with a renewed vigor.

Renovascular hypertension is high blood pressure due to narrowing of the arteries that carry blood to the kidneys. This condition is also called renal artery stenosis.
Renal hypertension; Hypertension - renovascular; Renal artery occlusion; Stenosis - renal artery; Renal artery stenosis
Renal artery stenosis is a narrowing or blockage of the arteries that supply blood to the kidneys.
The most common cause of renal artery stenosis is a blockage in the arteries due to high cholesterol. This problem occurs when a sticky, fatty substance called plaque builds up on the inner lining of the arteries.
When the arteries that carry blood to your kidneys become narrow, less blood flows to the kidneys. The kidneys mistakenly respond as if your blood pressure is low. As a result, they release hormones that tell the body to hold on to more salt and water. This causes your blood pressure to rise.
Risk factors for atherosclerosis:
Fibromuscular dysplasia is another cause of renal artery stenosis. It is often seen in women under age 50. It tends to run in families. The condition is caused by abnormal growth of cells in the walls of the arteries leading to the kidneys. This also leads to narrowing or blockage of these arteries.
People with renovascular hypertension may have a history of very high blood pressure that is hard to bring down with medicines.
Symptoms of renovascular hypertension include:
If you have a dangerous form of high blood pressure called malignant hypertension, symptoms can include:
The health care provider may hear a "whooshing" noise, called a bruit, when placing a stethoscope over your belly area.
The following blood tests may be done:
Imaging tests may be done to see if the kidney arteries have narrowed. They include:
High blood pressure caused by narrowing of the arteries that lead to the kidneys is often hard to control.
One or more medicines are needed to help control blood pressure. There are many types available.
Have your cholesterol levels checked, and treated if it is needed. Your doctor will help determine the right cholesterol levels for you based on your heart disease risk and other health conditions.
Lifestyle changes are important:
Further treatment depends on what causes the narrowing of the kidney arteries. Your doctor may recommend a procedure called angioplasty with stenting.
These procedures may be an option if you have:
However, the decision about which patients should have these procedures is complex, and depends on many of the factors listed above.
If your blood pressure is not well controlled, you are at risk for the following complications:
Call your health care provider if you think you have high blood pressure.
Call your health care provider if you have renovascular hypertension and symptoms get worse or do not improve with treatment. Also call if new symptoms develop.
Preventing atherosclerosis may prevent rental artery stenosis. Taking the following steps can help:

Press Release
Multiplex will feature the new Cinemark NextGen cinema concept
Plano, Texas….Cinemark Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: CNK), one of the world's largest motion picture exhibitors, today announced plans to construct a 16-screen, all-digital movie theatre that will feature the company's new Cinemark NextGen design concept. The new complex will be the first Cinemark theatre in the area and will be located in the new mixed use development known as Oakley Station which is the latest phase of The Center of Cincinnati retail center in the Cincinnati central corridor along Interstate 71.
Long recognized as a pioneer in the theatrical exhibition
industry, Cinemark is taking the cinema entertainment experience to
the next level. Slated to open just in time for the 2012
summer blockbuster season, the new Cinemark NextGen theatre will
offer the latest technology, cutting edge amenities and
customer-preferred options all under one roof. All of the
stadium-seated auditoriums will offer a state-of-the-art viewing
environment with wall-to-wall screens, 100% digital projection and
enhanced sound systems equipped with higher quality speakers and
7.1 capable digital surround sound. Additionally, this theatre
complex will contain a Cinemark XD Extreme Digital Cinema
auditorium. The lobby will be designed around one of
Cinemark's innovative self-serve concession stands allowing
customers to quickly pick up freshly-popped popcorn, Coca-Cola
fountain beverages and their favorite candy brands.
The Cinemark XD Extreme Digital Cinema auditorium will be the largest in the theatre complex and one of the largest in Cincinnati. This unique auditorium offers a complete entertainment environment featuring a wall-to-wall and ceiling-to-floor screen, plush seating and a custom JBL sound system with higher end components and 7.1 capable digital surround sound. The digital images will be delivered by a Doremi server and a Barco DLP digital projector, which offers the brightest light standards in the industry. The XD auditorium will exhibit the newest movies every week, including 2D and RealD 3D pictures.
"Cinemark currently operates 19 theatres in the state of Ohio," states Alan Stock, Cinemark's Chief Executive Officer. "We are thrilled to construct a new Cinemark NextGen movie theatre for our customers in Cincinnati. Its central location will make it easily accessible to the entire market. We plan to move very quickly to achieve an opening in the summer of 2012."
USS Realty, the owner, and Vandercar, the developer, are excited about Cinemark's announcement and commitment to the market to be the entertainment anchor within the project. "Cinemark's location at Oakley Station will position them within the Cincinnati trade area in such a way that they will have an immediate impact on the market. This is a state of the art facility that will be uniquely situated within some of the most populated and dense urban neighborhoods of northern Cincinnati. In addition to the strategic location, the site will offer quick access from I-71 and the Norwood Lateral and will provide the customer with an abundant amount of free surface parking which is a highly coveted amenity that most urban infill developments cannot offer," comments Steve Dragon of Vandercar. The new Cinemark NextGen theatre will provide a much needed entertainment option for the local residents as well as for customers of the existing Target, Meijer, and Sam's Club which sit just north in the very successful Center of Cincinnati. This will now enable the developer to finish deals with a national department store retailer as well as countless sit down restaurants that have been awaiting the announcement from Cinemark. The theatre will be complimented nicely by the construction of up to 300 units of high end apartments to be developed by Flaherty and Collins Properties, a multifamily developer based in Indianapolis. "This long awaited project is finally underway with demolition operations in full swing. We are ecstatic about transforming this old abandoned heavy industrial park into a vibrant destination anchored by the newest entertainment venue in town, Cinemark," says Dragon.
Cinemark will also feature online "Print at Home" ticketing, available at www.cinemark.com, that will make it easy for patrons to purchase tickets in advance from the comfort of their home or office. Customers will be able to bypass lines at the box office and go directly to a kiosk in the theatre lobby. In addition, customers can sign up online to receive free weekly showtime emails.
About Cinemark Holdings, Inc.
Cinemark is a leading domestic and international motion picture exhibitor, operating 431 theatres with 4,941 screens in 39 U.S. states, Brazil, Mexico and 11 other Latin American countries as of March 31, 2011. For more information go to www.cinemark.com.

Start with any triangle T1 and its inscribed circle. Draw the
triangle T2 which has its vertices at the points of contact between
the triangle T1 and its incircle. Now keep repeating this process
starting with T2 to form a sequence of nested triangles and
circles. What happens to the triangles? You may like to investigate
this interactively on the computer or by drawing with ruler and
compasses. If the angles in the first triangle are a, b and c prove
that the angles in the second triangle are given (in degrees) by
f(x) = (90 - x/2) where x takes the values a, b and c. Choose some
triangles, investigate this iteration numerically and try to give
reasons for what happens. Investigate what happens if you reverse
this process (triangle to circumcircle to triangle...)

Editor's note: During the course of a week, issues are covered that might not lend themselves to full editorial comment, but they are worthy of The Inter-Mountain weighing in - pro, con or neutral.
Applause to everyone who took part in the Taste of Home Cooking School Thursday night at the Randolph County Armed Forces Reserve Center near Elkins. Hundreds of residents turned out for the annual Taste of Home event, which The Inter-Mountain has brought to the Elkins area since 2011. We applaud all the sponsors, volunteers and those who came to enjoy the show and the food for a job well-done (pardon us for making one last cooking pun).
Applause to Huttonsville Public Service District officials and the residents who met with them Thursday to discuss the waste water issues in Valley Bend and Dailey. The residents seem to have a legitimate concern, with some reporting sewage and waste water surfacing in their yards. We applaud them and the PSD officials for talking calmly and productively about the situation. We hope this spirit of cooperation will lead to a solution.
Applause to the Lewis County Sheriff's Office for its continued efforts to battle the drug trade. On Thursday, deputies seized 152 marijuana plants - worth $456,000 - from a Weston residence. Then on Friday morning, deputies arrested 12 people in a drug sting. On Friday afternoon, Sheriff Adam Gissy said, "I think by arresting people in mass numbers, it sends a message to people who are distributing drugs that just because you got away with things for so long does not mean you're going to continue to get away with it." Gissy has been sending that message again and again in recent months. More power to him.
Boo to the "group assault" that officials say occurred Sunday on the campus of West Virginia Wesleyan College and resulted in a knife wound for one WVWC student and a broken jaw for another. Two Alderson Broaddus University students have been arrested in connection with the incident - one on Wednesday on a malicious wounding charge, another on Thursday on a misdemeanor obstructing an officer charge. Police say more arrests are possible. Folks, we've heard of school rivalry, but this is ridiculous. Both schools should be working overtime to get to the bottom of what happened Sunday, and why. Once that's determined, steps should be taken to ensure that such an incident never happens again. Our local colleges are invaluable gems in this region, but parents need to feel their children will be safe when attending them. Sunday's brawl is a major embarrassment for our area, and one that neither school should tolerate.

It was the news that Buffalo's informed movie audience both long dreaded and long expected: Dipson Theatres announced today that it will no longer be operating the North Park Theatre on Hertel Avenue after June 6.
The theater property is owned by local attorney Thomas J. Eoannu, who has not announced his plans for the theater after the Dipson lease is up and could not be reached for comment.
Michael Clement, president of Dipson Theatres, admitted today that "the North Park hasn't made a profit for us in five years." Essentially, then, the company can no longer afford to operate a cinematic charity.
"This is something that has been troubling us for some time" he said. "The North Park wasn't the big guy in town, but it sure felt like it in the day, and that is thanks to all the wonderful community members and their support."
Terrence Malick's film "To the Wonder" remains there this weekend. The theater's final showing beginning May 31 will be Peter McGennis' film "Queen City," which was filmed in Buffalo with Vivica A. Fox and previously premiered in the Dipson's Market Arcade Theater downtown.
Previously, it was a source of Dipson corporate pride that the world premiere of Vincent Gallo's "Buffalo '66" was at the North Park.
In addition to the North Park, Dipson operates the Amherst, Market Arcade Film and Arts Center, McKinley Mall 6, Eastern Hills and Flix Stadium theaters.
Today's announcement is a wrenching development for Buffalo's art and independent film audience, many of whom remember the North Park as a kind of '40s and '50s "Cinema Paradiso" – that is, a North Buffalo neighborhood house that showed the action B-movies and even movie serials that functioned for many as their primal moviehouse experiences.
Its end now as an art and independent film theater closes a brilliant 30-year chapter of the North Park as the city's premier theater for showing art and independent films in the city.
The circumstances of its closing followed from a kind of "perfect storm" of film exhibition as an independent showcase house.
In 1983, the estate of Alfred Hitchcock began a policy of releasing to theaters beautifully restored prints of the Hitchcock classics the estate controlled – films which, in many cases, hadn't been seen in 12 years and had begun acquiring gigantic reputations: "Vertigo" and "Rear Window," most importantly.
The first such film to be released to indy theaters, "Rear Window," began the North Park's existence as an independent art theater. Because it promised others in the series – and because local critical reaction was so extreme – the late Dipson proprietor Bernard Clement decided that art and independent film exhibition was a very viable commercial course for his theater.
It was Clement's film booker, the late Isaac Ehrlichman of Frontier Amusement, who first suggested the idea to him but it was the Hitchcock series that instantly confirmed its possibilities.
The North Park has, in the three decades that followed, been a cherished place for local moviegoers to see some of the very best movies have to offer. All has not always been smooth. There have been rough patches before but nothing like the downturn Michael Clement admitted today.
As Clement points out, circumstances have changed completely. Not only is the technology of movie-watching radically different from what it was in 1983 – with at least one generation actually accepting movies on tablets, if not smart phones – but the competition from major chains has heated up.
Because the North Park is less than two miles away from the Regal Elmwood Theater, Clement said, he is routinely prohibited from showing certain films that might be large sources of revenue for his company.
A good example is the current blockbuster "The Great Gatsby," which is actually being shown in one of Dipson's other theaters, the Amherst Theater.
Because the North Park isn't equipped to show 3-D and is, besides, prohibited from showing the film so close to a Regal megaplex, the film could not open in the North Park, where its large box office would have been welcome.
When Clement and his current booker discovered at last fall's Toronto Film Festival a film both considered ideal for the North Park – Joe Wright's "Anna Karenina" – the film turned out to be both a critical and box office disappointment.
That, to many local film onlookers, that has seemed more the rule recently than the exception.
The theater was once part of the chain of the late, great local film exhibitor Mike Shea. It was opened as a moviehouse in 1920.
And it was probably the most plush moviehouse to be operated by the Dipson chain during the era when William Dipson could walk from his apartment into a glassed-off screening room he'd built into the back of his Art Deco Colvin Theater to watch that theater's current attraction.
The North Park had no such facility but it occupied pride of place in all of Shea's chain of Buffalo neighborhood moviehouses.
The North Park is the very last to keep on running as a completely integral first-run part of the city's movie-going life.
Its impending darkness –unless a savior can be found– is both a sign of the times and the announcement of a day of immense sadness for Buffalo moviegoers.

And aside from the smiley emoji following his note, the Fault in Our Stars headliner decided to make fans work to find out about his newest movie role.
Elgort has, according to Deadline.com, signed on to play Van Cliburn, an American pianist who won the Tchaikovsky International Piano Competition at the height of the Cold War. The film Van Cliburn is based on the Howard Reich book of the same name.
The 20-year-old actor, like Van Cliburn, tickles the ivories and believes in the power of music. He has an entirely separate Twitter account, @Ansolo_Music, that promotes the "dance music" he produces independently. "Music is better than any drug," Elgort declares in the account's description. We're sure Van Cliburn would have agreed.
The pianist died of bone cancer last year. He was 78.

Band students everywhere, listen up! During Columbus Day weekend you will have the opportunity to hear the most talented Marine Band in the nation. "The President's Own" U.S. Marine Band will be performing at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at Shea's Performing Arts Center.
The band, led by Col. Michael J. Colburn, will be performing both traditional repertoire and instrumental solos that showcase the talent of its professional musicians. Better yet, the performance is free and open to the public. While tickets are available at Shea's box office and will guarantee first choice of seating, no ticket is required to attend.
The band includes two of Buffalo's own, clarinetist Samantha Angelo, who graduated from Amherst Central High School, and percussionist Jonathan Bisesi, a graduate of Orchard Park High School. They are just two of the approximately 130 musicians who tour the nation. All of these musicians are official members of the U.S. Marine Corps.
The tradition of touring originated in 1891 with the band's 17th director, John Philip Sousa, a name that will almost certainly be familiar to anyone who has ever participated in a marching band. Sousa, known as "The March King," is perhaps most notably the composer of "Stars and Stripes Forever," the national march of the United States. He is widely considered to be the most famous conductor the band has ever had.
"It is always encouraging to hear a high-level band play, because it gives me something to look forward to and a goal to set," says Hailey Lawrenson, a sophomore at Williamsville South High School and an active participant in its band program.
The Marine Band is a great option for young musicians looking to get ahead in the world of professional instrumental performance. Even for musicians who are not planning to spend their entire career as a Marine Band performer, the experience of playing with a professional group can be very rewarding. The four-year commitment one must make when joining a band like "The President's Own" can be used as a springboard for a career in music.
Even for young musicians who aren't planning to join a professional band, seeing such a large, talented group of musicians play can be an inspiring experience. Many students may not see the appeal of sitting through a lengthy performance, but the sheer power of more than 100 musicians playing in an acoustically superior theater like Shea's is enough to blow anyone away.

Dallas charity leader urges Congress to protect tax deduction: "It is not a loophole"
WASHINGTON — A Dallas charity leader urged members of a congressional committee Thursday to continue allowing taxpayers to deduct gifts to charity.
Brent Christopher, president and CEO of Communities Foundation of Texas, testified that the tax deduction might not be the main motivator for donations, but it does affect the size and timing of those gifts.
"It is not a 'loophole' that needs to be closed…. It is unique in our tax code— an encouragement to act selflessly by spending our money on the public good instead of ourselves," Christopher said.
The Communities Foundation of Texas bills itself as a sort of "philanthropic GPS," helping steer donations to different organizations across North Texas and the state. As Congress looks to overhaul the tax system, limits on charitable deductions have been considered.
The Dallas foundation distributed $66 million in grants in 2012, and it has given $1.2 billion since being founded in 1953.

Great stuff! Review by Vanessa

I just began using the tooth gel on my baby, and I am so happy with it. It smells pleasant and has a mild flavour.
The best part is that he willingly opens his mouth so that I can brush his 3 little teeth that have just come in. Tooth brushing is not a battle in our home.

Where does Medicaid expansion stand?
In 2012, the United States Supreme Court upheld the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act with a caveat — individual states could not be compelled by the federal government to expand Medicaid. South Carolina lawmakers and health care lobbyists are currently in a tug-of-war over the issue. Republican lawmakers and state leaders say the program is broken and too expensive. Democrats, doctors and hospital systems across the state are trying to convince the legislature that South Carolinians are among the sickest patients in the country, and that offering health insurance to more state residents is the best route to improving their health. The state legislature will put the debate to a vote in 2013 or early 2014.
Who will it affect?
If passed in South Carolina, Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act would extend coverage to hundreds of thousands of previously uninsured state residents. Health officials estimate 350,000 to 600,000 previously uninsured residents would become eligible to apply. They would largely include low-income single adults with no children. Under current state law, non-disabled adults who are not pregnant and have no children do not qualify for Medicaid, regardless of their poverty level.
Who is trying to oppose the expansion and why?
State Republican lawmakers and Gov. Nikki Haley have expressed adamant opposition to the plan because they say the state can't afford it. The federal government has agreed to fully fund the plan for three years, but after that, states choosing to participate will have to front some of the money for it — eventually 10 percent of the costs in 2020. After 2020, the federal government will continue to match $9 for every $1 the state contributes to fund the program.
South Carolina Department of Health and Human Services Director Tony Keck also opposes Medicaid expansion. He says the system is broken and extending health insurance eligibility won't make South Carolinians any healthier.
Who says that the state needs it, and what are they saying?
Hospitals across the state, including the three major systems in the Lowcountry, are lobbying for Medicaid expansion. When the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is fully implemented in 2014, the federal government will start decreasing compensation hospitals receive for charity care. When the federal bill was drafted, hospitals agreed to those multi-billion-dollar cuts because the federal government offered to pay for Medicaid expansion. The idea behind the legislation is that if more patients who seek treatment qualify for health insurance, hospitals won't be burdened with providing as much free, charity care. If South Carolina opts out of Medicaid expansion, hospitals will still face those charity care compensation cuts. The South Carolina Hospital Association argues that South Carolinians — and South Carolina hospitals — will be paying a high price for the Affordable Care Act, but will not realize its major benefits.
What states are more aggressive in implementing it?
Twenty-three states have signed on to expand Medicaid and three more are "leaning" toward participating, according to The Advisory Board Company, a consulting firm tracking coverage of the debate across the country.
Many of the states choosing not to expand coverage are led by Republican governors, although there are exceptions. Republican Govs. Jan Brewer of Arizona and Rick Scott of Florida have recently said their states will support Medicaid expansion.
How much would Medicaid expansion cost South Carolina?
Keck from Health and Human Services estimates that expanding Medicaid coverage under the act would cost South Carolina between $1.1 billion and $2.3 billion during the first six years of the program. During the same time period, the federal government would pay nine times that amount to fully fund the expansion.

Educating patients and doctors about multiple myeloma (MM) has been the mission of the International Myeloma Foundations (IMF) for 21 years. Today, we can reach out globally more efficiently than ever before. And as I'll show you, today myeloma awareness is not just a nicety, it's a crucial necessity.
In order to amplify that message for the 2012 Myeloma Awareness Month in March, the IMF launched the "Tell One Person" campaign. Patients, caregivers, friends and family members pledged to tell one person (or more!) who hadn't heard of the disease the basics about myeloma.
We got the ball rolling on our social media channels by posting a daily myeloma fact on Twitter and Facebook. Our energetic and enthusiastic followers broadcast these facts daily to their own Twitter followers and Facebook friends, turning up the volume on our Myeloma Awareness Month message. The IMF's Facebook page-views grew by a factor of 90!
So what's so important about raising myeloma awareness? After all, isn't "raising awareness" the mantra of every advocacy group in the world?
Of course it is, but in the case of a relatively unknown disease like myeloma, patients pay a particularly high price for ignorance, especially when that ignorance extends to the medical community.
We only have to read the comments we receive to see what happens when myeloma awareness is absent.
"Doctors kept insisting my mom had osteoporosis, when it was myeloma," wrote one woman.
Another caregiver wrote that her husband visited "ten different doctors to find the source of his back pain before one of them recognized the symptoms of myeloma."
But there is another reason it has become vital to tell the world about myeloma: Younger and younger people are being diagnosed. Traditionally, myeloma was thought to be a disease that only affected the elderly. When myeloma symptoms appear in younger patients, doctors who aren't up-to-date on the latest information about myeloma are not able to recognize it for what it is.
Case in point is a young man from Ohio who wrote on our Facebook page. He was just 17 years old when he was diagnosed with myeloma. For two critical years, his complaints of back pain were dismissed by doctors as "growing pains."
Also in March, the IMF Hotline team received a call from a nursing student from the Midwest who was diagnosed with myeloma. She is just 22 years old, well below the typical profile. Her local doctors recommended a treatment so complex that a myeloma expert has since called it "drastic." But after contacting the IMF Hotline, she was able to get advice from IMF Chairman Dr. Brian Durie to seek a second opinion at a major medical center familiar with myeloma. The newest treatments for myeloma are both more tolerable and more effective, a perfect example of why "awareness" is so important.

Since I had a lot to do with the trees gracing the medians and roadsides of our interstates, particularly those along the gateway to Charleston and Summerville, which the S.C. Department of Transportation wants to butcher, I think it's time to recall their genesis.
I first went to our state Senate in 1981. Except for the beautiful swamps that 1-26 crossed, the highway was boring, its byways kept mowed pavement to pavement to fences.
But near Columbia, centered on Milepost 118, were a couple of miles of mature pine timber, which I loved seeing on my weekly trips.
I often wondered what saintly highway engineer had decided not to kill these kings of the median.
Because of their size they were valuable, the kind we would all like to have if we owned timberland.
And then one Tuesday morning they were all gone, hauled away, their roots grubbed out. Only a long ugly scar remained.
When the Columbia folks realized what had happened, they raised such a ruckus that DOT planted the area with some non-native ornamentals some of which profane the median to this day.
When I tried to find out what had happened I was stonewalled. But ugly rumors were floating around, and some suggestions were leaked to me.
When a new director came to DOT, he sent his internal investigator to see me, and I gave him what information I had. He said he'd be back to me shortly, but I never saw him again.
That told me a lot, but it's been 30-some years since the tragedy, and many of those involved are now dead.
So, I decided to beautify our interstates by legislatively limiting the mowing to 30 feet from the drive surfaces with exceptions for height and safety.
I got lots of help from my colleagues in the General Assembly, and our bill to accomplish this became the law which is in effect now.
As I told the Senate then, "When you don't mow, the grass gives way to weeds and the weeds to saplings and the saplings to beautiful trees."
Those we now have take many years to grow and provide beauty for us all as well as oxygen, which trees exhale.
Valuable habitat for bird life is given as well as a reserve of timber for our nation if it is ever needed. In addition, many thousands of dollars are saved because of the vast acreage that needs no mowing.
In respect for the law, which DOT does not have, communities can get an exception for local improvements.
In my last year in the Senate I signed off on an amendment for the town of Hardeeville.
Politics in the Lowcountry this year may change if DOT pursues its unlawful chainsaw madness.
The races will not be between the traditional parties but between the tree cutters and the tree lovers.
I believe that the tree cutters will be exposed so that the voters can cut them down.

As was widely predicted, Kate, 29, has chosen her sister Pippa as her maid of honor – whose job, it is stated, will be to make sure the bridal gown is displayed properly and the young wedding party is kept in line – while Prince Harry will be his brother's best man, the palace announced.
For royal watchers, the real treat may be in observing the young friends and royal relatives who will make up Kate's bridal party. Among them are Lady Louise Windsor, 7, the daughter of William's Uncle Edward and his wife, Sophie Wessex. Hon. Margarita Armstrong-Jones, 8, is also from the wider Windsor clan. She is the daughter of Queen Elizabeth's nephew Viscount Linley and his wife, Serena.
A close friend of the couple, Hugh van Cutsem, is the father of another bridesmaid, Grace, 3. She, like one of the pageboys announced by the palace, Tom Pettifer, 8, is a godchild of William's. Pettifer is the son of William's nanny, Tiggy Pettier (nee Legge-Bourke), and her husband, Charles.
There's also a spot for Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall's granddaughter, Eliza Lopes, 3, whose mother is Camilla's daughter, Laura. The other pageboy is William Lowther-Pinkerton, 10, son of Jamie Lowther-Pinker, who as the princes' private secretary is the one heading up the wedding planning – and all the crucial work for the couple and William's brother Harry.
The palace ends its announcement by saying that the couple will withhold news of the what the bridesmaids dresses and the uniforms of the pageboys until April 29 – which happens to be the wedding day.

BALTIMORE, MD (8/21/09) The number of employed Marylanders rose during July;
however, growth in the number of jobseekers overshadowed this increase, causing
Marylands seasonally adjusted unemployment rate to inch up slightly from Junes
revised rate of 7.2 percent to 7.3 percent in July. Julys employment gain is the
second monthly upturn reported since the recession began a year and a half ago.
Nationally, unemployment, while declining slightly to 9.4 percent in July,
remained more than two full percentage points above that of Maryland.
Preliminary estimates showed employment on Marylands industrial payrolls
trending upward during July, with a seasonally adjusted gain of 10,000 jobs
reported. Both public and private sector payrolls expanded, with gains in the
private sector spurred by the continuing slow but steady growth in health care
and accommodations and food services.
While recent reports show that the pace of economic contraction appears to be
slowing and the downturn in some industries is showing signs of bottoming out,
the general consensus is that labor market conditions will continue to be affected
by a series of ups and downs before economic equilibrium can be achieved and
recovery begins. The economic leveling and sporadic job growth which has occurred
over the past few months, while a possible prelude to recovery, can best be viewed
as one of the economic bumps which are likely to reoccur as the economy strives
for sustainable growth.
Seasonal expansion, particularly in leisure and hospitality industries,
loosened the job market somewhat for jobseekers during July. Employment
advanced in nearly every local jurisdiction during July, helping to either
maintain or lower non-seasonally adjusted unemployment rates in fifteen of
the states localities. In those jurisdictions reporting higher jobless rates,
an influx of new and reentrant jobseekers into the labor market caused rates
to creep up. Unemployment rates during July ranged from a low of 5.5 percent
in Montgomery County to a high of 11.5 percent in Dorchester County. Baltimore
Citys rate, rising by 0.5 percentage points over the month to 11.3 percent,
trailed only slightly behind Dorchester.

Summerville will have its own startup incubator this October but it will need help from local entrepreneurs to fulfill its mission.
Harbor Entrepreneur Center has announced plans to open a site at 402 N. Main St. in Summerville. The center currently operates out of Mount Pleasant, and this would be the first of a few additional centers the center plans to open around the Charleston area, according to Director John Osborne.
We know entrepreneurs dont just live in Mount Pleasant and they also dont have to show up anywhere they dont want to, Osborne said. We knew the geography of the area wouldnt lend itself to one single center. We knew if we had landing zones and these sites spread across the region we would be able to draw more of them out and then we could connect the sites to each other.
The incubator seeks to link entrepreneurs together to bolster the business climate and provide support for startups. There is no membership fee, but some activities have a cost.
The center is very simple. We have one core mission and that is to create a coalition among entrepreneurs, Osborne said.
Most entrepreneurs are not involved in just one business. They create them, they start them, they get them going, but then theyre off to another project. And so what we know is, if we get entrepreneurs playing at a high level with other capable people, more often theyre going to create more businesses in the region that otherwise wouldnt happen.
Right now, as the center awaits opening in October, Osborne said hes looking for entrepreneurs to volunteer their time to help startups.
The biggest thing we need to do in Summerville to get going is connect with the entrepreneurs who have built companies from the ground up to 20-employee operations in the Summerville area, Osborne said. As soon as we have a critical mass of entrepreneurs we can open up different programing for startup companies in Summerville.
Critical mass would be 15 committed business owners, he added.
The incubator will also offer co-working space for startup companies and remote workers. Cost for leasing space will be $275 per month, and lessees can operate out of any of the Harbors sites.

Book Review 237: Wide Ruins
May 29, 2012 - Harry Eagar
WIDE RUINS: Memories from a Navajo Trading Post, by Sallie Wagner. 150 pages, illustrated. New Mexico.
"Wide Ruins" is among the most interesting memoirs of American rural life, gaining piquancy by its exotic locale: the Navajo Reservation in 1938-50, a time when most Navajos had little contact with the outside world.
Sallie and Bill Lippincott were newlywed anthropologists when they took over the derelict general store – called a trading post in Indian Country. Their academic training in getting to know outside cultures may have helped them adapt. Wagner – as Sallie Lippincott was when she wrote this book nearly 50 years later – does not say.
In any event, according to her version they got on well. When they moved to Oregon, one of their Navajo friends sent them $5 – a lot of money for a Navajo, even in 1950 – toward their expenses for moving back. Nevertheless, there remained many things that the Lippincotts were not told.
For example, one day a mysterious child showed up. He was described as "a mifflin," but what that was or who he was was never revealed.
Wagner reveals just a little of her personal life, enough to sketch a personality, but she and Bill are in the background in these stories. And there are plenty of them. Wagner does not waste words. In about 140 pages, there must be about 140 anecdotes, about wild rides through storms and into quicksand, humorous encounters with tourists who didn't understand Indians and Indians who didn't understand tourists, family feuds, touching gestures, violent episodes, including a triple murder.
Life may have been restricted at Wide Ruins but it seems never to have been quiet for long.
A theme running through the tale is Wagner's effort to get the Wide Ruins women to improve their weaving – both the technique, the quality and the designs. Wagner patiently induced them to switch from purchased to local vegetable dyes and to switch from gaudy to quieter designs.
She was unsuccessful, though, in getting the mothers to adopt Gerber baby food, which Wagner thought would be better for the babies than the fry-bread, coffee and sugar they were weaned to.

AICPA News Update
A Weekly Email Newsletter on Issues & Events Surrounding the CPA Profession
December 10, 2010 - Volume 13 No. 52
On November 30, the U.S. Senate unanimously passed the Red Flag Program Clarification Act of 2010, which clarifies "creditors" for the purposes of the Federal Trade Commission's Red Flags rule. The bill narrows the definition so that CPAs in public practice, in addition to lawyers, doctors, dentists and other health care and service providers, are not classified as creditors as they do not "offer or maintain accounts that pose a reasonably foreseeable risk of identity theft." The bill now heads to a vote in the U.S. House of Representatives. The AICPA and state CPA societies have fought tirelessly for this clarification over the past year. For more information on the Red Flags rule, the AICPA's lawsuit to prevent its enforcement against CPAs and how the rule affects your practice, visit AICPA.org. Also, read the AICPA's statement on the Senate vote.
The Accounting and Review Services Committee (ARSC) has revised Interpretation No. 30 to Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review Services (SSARS) No. 1, as amended, to provide guidance when the accountant reports on compiled or reviewed financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and the required comparative financial information is not provided. The revised interpretation also provides an illustrative paragraph to show how an accountant may report when an accountant is engaged to compile financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS and management elects to omit substantially all disclosures, the statement of cash flows and comparative financial information. The revised interpretation will be conformed for the issuance of SSARS No. 19, Compilation and Review Engagements (AICPA, Professional Standards, vol. 2, AR secs. 60, 80, and 90), along with all other interpretations to SSARS No. 1.
On September 30, 2009, the Auditing Standards Board (ASB) issued an exposure draft of the proposed Statement on Auditing Standards (SAS), Reporting on Financial Statements Prepared in Accordance With a Financial Reporting Framework Generally Accepted in Another Country. After revising the previous exposure draft for certain matters noted in comment letters, the ASB determined that it was necessary to re-expose the SAS and seek additional comments. The ASB issued Proposed Revised Statement on Auditing Standards, Financial Statements Prepared in Accordance With a Financial Reporting Framework Generally Accepted in Another Country, resulting from its Clarity Project: Supersedes AU section 534, Reporting on Financial Statements Prepared for Use in Other Countries, in AICPA Professional Standards. Comment period ends January 31, 2011. A marked version of the previous exposure draft shows the proposed changes.
In a letter to the AICPA's Stockbrokerage and Investment Banking Expert Panel, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) outlined the existing requirements that apply when conducting the "review of the accounting system, the internal accounting control and procedures for safeguarding securities." The requirements provide that broker-dealers must file an accountant's report from a registered public accounting firm covering the annual financial statements and supporting schedules. Additional information and requirements can be found in the SEC's letter and the AICPA Accounting and Auditing Guide Brokers and Dealers in Securities.
As government agencies work to implement provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, financial executives need to prepare for the resulting regulations and understand how implementation will affect their businesses. In this Business Brief, "Balancing Efficient Capital Markets and Investor Protection," Treasury Deputy Secretary Neal S. Wolin and Securities and Exchange Commission Commissioner Luis A. Aguilar provide an understanding of how they interpret the Act, outline the possible direction their agencies may take in implementing reform and describe the principles that guide them.
To help you inform your clients or organization about what this legislation means for them, the AICPA has prepared the following: "Health Care Reform: A Primer for Organizations" (a downloadable brochure that provides an overview of key provisions of the legislation) and "What Does Health Care Reform Mean for You" (a PowerPoint developed for you to present to the employees within your clients' organizations or your own and which covers the important facts individuals need to know).
If you're looking for a place to enhance your knowledge and application of professional judgment, then contact the Technical Hotline where a team of experts will guide you by phone or email. From accounting principles to financial reporting, and everything in between, the team answers thousands of calls each year. You also can contact the A&A Hotline by phone at 1.877.242.7212, 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., ET.

Supplements have a downside.
Recently, the Journal of the American Medical Association published an article titled "Why Do U.S. Adults Use Dietary Supplements?" I've asked the same question myself. I've noticed that so many "intelligent" people seem to me to be popping pills left and right that they don't need.
I'll grant you that some supplements are useful. For example, I recommend a multivitamin for everyone every day, although many of my colleagues poo-poo it. And I'm a proponent of an extra 1000u of vitamin D. But some people are taking a handful of pills and capsules every morning.
The researchers discovered that most supplement takers are educated, exercise more, eat better and drink less than the overall population. They are more likely to engage in wellness activities. Now, I don't think the "supplements made them do it," but rather that they've taken the "I want to be as healthy as I can" route.
Congratulations and kudos, I say. But are the supplements necessary? This question is especially important, since they may have a downside.
I used to say if you want to spend your money in the supplement aisle go right ahead – I'll stay with fruits and vegetables, thank you. I also said that it was a "no harm, no foul" situation, as supplements were safe.
Well guess what? I was wrong.
Let's begin with my first wake-up call – beta carotene. I used to recommend taking it to prevent cancer because we know that people who consume foods rich in beta carotene such as broccoli, squash and carrots, for example, have less cancer.
Then a major study (conveniently labeled the CARET study, for Beta Carotene and Retinol Efficacy Trial) showed that smokers who took beta carotene and continued to smoke actually had more lung cancer. That's right! Beta carotene supplements somehow encouraged cancer.
Since that time, this once-hot supplement has cooled down. You rarely hear anyone touting its usefulness anymore. When I started recommending against beta carotene, you should have heard the angry letters that flooded my inbox. I was accused of being in bed with the FDA, of being a pill pusher, of being a charlatan or just plain dumb. That's when I realized that for some people, supplements are akin to a religion.
I started recommending that people spend more money in the grocery store and less in the drugstore. My general rule of thumb is color. The deeper and more colorful the fruit or vegetable, the more loaded it is with vitamins, minerals and other nutrients such as beta carotene and antioxidants. Fresh is best, followed by frozen and then canned.
So back to the "it can't do any harm so take it" idea that I used to believe. Two new studies just published in JAMA dispute this – they look at the side effects of vitamin C and calcium, both widely used supplements.
My spin: Manufactured supplements, even those that call themselves natural or organic, are never natural because Mother Nature never made a pill in her life. Stick by her side and you'll be peachy keen. Stay well.
