All participation takes place online only. Any other participation, including by email, is excluded.
The Entrant undertakes to comply without reservation with the laws, regulations, rules of practice and ethics in force and to pay particular attention to compliance with the rules protecting the interests of third parties, public order and morality.

Once this period has expired, the prize will not be distributed and will become the property of the Organising Company. The winner cannot, under any circumstances, state that he/she was unaware of the confirmation email in order to receive the prize after the fifteen (15) day period from the date it was sent.
The winners shall be responsible for any potential administrative formalities specific to their country of residence that are necessary to claim the prizes. The Organising Company will not, under any circumstances, be responsible for these formalities and the corresponding deadlines which could prevent the winners from receiving their prize.
All winners must provide proof of age and place of residence upon request from the Organising Company. In the absence of such proof, their participation will be cancelled and they will not receive the prize.
The prizes will be made available to the winners and to them only, according to the information provided upon registration for the Contest.

Upon request, all Entrants can obtain reimbursement for the costs corresponding to the time spent playing the Contest based on a connection of four (4) minutes, or €0.76. It is specified that those users with a free or flat rate connection from their Internet service provider (such as connection by cable, ADSL or leased line) will not be able to receive any reimbursement, as their subscription to the service provider in this case is contracted for the use of the Internet in general and the Entrant does not face any additional costs or expenses to enter the Contest website.
If necessary, request for reimbursement must be addressed by post to the Organising Company along with the bank details, proof of an Internet subscription and letter indicating the date and time of the connection, no later than 15 days after the closing date of the Contest, authenticated by the postmark.

The Organising Company will not be held liable for any technical malfunctions in the Contest, if Entrants fail to connect to the website or the Contest, if the data on the registration of an Entrant fails to reach the Company for some reason (for example, an Internet connection problem in the user's home for any reason) or if it arrives illegible or impossible to process (e.g. if the Entrant has a hardware or software environment that is unsuitable for registration), or in the event of email delivery problems.

This information is recorded and stored in a computer file and is necessary for entry to be considered and for determining the winners. This information is for the Organising Company for the sole purpose of contact and allocation of prizes.
However, those Entrants who wish to do so can tick the relevant box upon registration for the INVICTUS AWARD Contest to expressly authorise the Organising Company to use their data for marketing purposes.
By applying this law, Entrants have the right to access, rectify and delete the date concerning them. To exercise this right, candidates should send a letter to the following address: PUIG FRANCE, 65-67 avenue des Champs-Elysées – 75008 PARIS.
The winners authorise the Organising Society to proceed with all verifications concerning their identity and their residence. Any false information or proof of multiple entries will lead to the Entrant's elimination.

The Organising Company is able to inform the Entrants using the method of their choice. The Organising Company also reserves the right to modify, extend, shorten, suspend or cancel the Contest without notice due to any event beyond its control, including an event of force majeure or unforeseeable circumstances. The Organising Company reserves the right to invalidate and/or cancel all or part of the Contest if it appears that fraud or malfunction of any kind whatsoever has occurred, including by computer when participating in the Contest. In this case, it reserves the right to not allocate the prize(s) to fraudsters and/or to bring proceedings before the competent courts against the parties who have committed fraud. Fraud will result in the immediate disqualification of the perpetrator.
The Organising Company shall not be held liable as regards the above and Entrants will not be entitled to any compensation or damages of any nature whatsoever.
In addition, the Organising Company shall not be held liable on the final prize and any potential hazards arising from it (flight delays, strikes, personal injury, luggage loss etc.) Entrants are not entitled to any damage or compensation of any sort whatsoever.
These rules and regulations are subject to French law, excluding its rules of conflict of laws.
To be considered, any disputes relating to the Contest must be made in writing to the following address: PUIG FRANCE, 65-67 avenue des Champs-Elysées – 75008 PARIS, and at the very latest (30) days after the deadline for participation in the Contest as indicated in these rules and regulations.

An Acts Matter Essay
Last December, on a plane from Denver to Medford, I happened to sit next to one of my best childhood friends. We had grown up in Yreka, Calif., but hadn't seen each other in over a decade. During the flight home, we laughed until tears came to our eyes as we reminisced about our school days. At one point, Emerson said, "Do you remember Charlie in sixth grade?" I looked at Emerson and we both went quiet.
Held back a year in school, Charlie was the biggest kid in our class. His brother was 10 years older, in and out of detention centers, notorious throughout town as a vicious drug dealer. Charlie never knew his father and his mother never wore anything in public but a robe and nightgown. I remember my father shaking his head when he saw Charlie walking downtown one morning. "That boy doesn't have a chance," he said.
• Name withheld by request, graduated AHS in the 1960s: "I was born and raised in Ashland to a pretty poor family. I was a little on the heavy side, but had many friends. I was elected to be one of five cheerleaders and had the experience of my life feeling so special. I tried out for cheerleader again the next year but didn't make the cut. I recall crying in a heap on the girls bathroom floor when another girl who tried out and failed walked in the bathroom. She told me to shut up and stop crying; that I only made cheerleader the prior year because of a family tragedy and everyone felt sorry for me. I have rarely felt such a 'sting,' and although I hated myself throughout the rest of high school for the 'pitiful fat girl who made cheerleader just because everyone felt sorry for her,' I, of course, have long ago realized that the girl who made the comment to me was feeling the pain of not making cheerleader herself. And in the nearly 50 years since the unkind comment, I've never told anyone who made that comment to me."
• Mike Case, class of 1969: "There weren't many bullies at AHS, but of the ones that were there, they were all the same. They smoked cigarettes, drank, did pot and fought at every opportunity. It made them feel superior if they could hurt someone else. I stood up to the wanna-bes and was able to make them back down, but two real bullies were dangerous and had to be dealt with through the police. They did a lot of damage to vehicles parked on the street, such as throwing pieces of scrap metal through windshields and piercing tires with weapons made in the forging and welding shop."
• Name withheld by request, graduated AHS in the 1960s: "I had a male cousin who acted somewhat feminine and was teased and bullied. I always came to his defense, since the taunting was nearly constant throughout his high school years. Later, as Ashland became more open-minded, he did come out of the closet and still wasn't accepted. He ended up moving to San Francisco. How sad back then, but so happy doors have opened since."
• Gordon Brown, class of 1974: "When I was a sophomore, the most popular initiation involved kids having to roll pencils with their noses, resulting in a scab. I recall others having to wear adult diapers on the outside of their pants. I personally didn't have to do either."
• Jamila Elliot: "I was a student at Ashland High School from 1998-2001 and was both a victim and witness to hazing, which was shockingly widespread. Shockingly obscene, slanderous words about me were spray-painted on three different sites on campus. I would hate to see any student go through the daily hell I was subjected to and watched so many others be subjected to."
What I remember most about Charlie was that he was a bully. Each morning he lined up Emerson, our friend David, and me and then punched us as hard as he could on the shoulder. If we made noise or complained he hit us in the stomach. This happened every morning of every school day of sixth grade, and yet none of us ever told our teacher or our parents, nor did we ever really talk about it with each other.
In the silence of the airplane I knew Emerson and I were returning to the pain and shame we felt during those years — something we still couldn't really talk about, even 30 years later.
Sugar Mejia, director of the Schools Program at Mediation Works, teaches ChoicePoint, a bully awareness and bystander empowerment training. She recently sent me some of the testimonies she's collected from middle school students across Jackson County. These testimonies are written anonymously, collected by facilitators and then read back to the students and teachers to help create awareness of the impact and pervasiveness of bullying. Reading the words of local students, I made contact with the mixture of helplessness, anger and loneliness I experienced as a sixth-grade boy. Here is a sampling from the many testimonies they have collected:
As we rose to get off the plane, Emerson turned to me and said, "You know Charlie died this year? He was a meth addict. He was running from the police and jumped off a bridge into the Klamath River and drowned. I guess he got what he deserved." I paused and felt real sorrow for Charlie. Strangely it was the same sorrow I felt for him in sixth grade on the last day of school — the last day that Charlie lined us up for punishment. I remember he looked at me sadly and said, "Do you know why I hit you every day, Yaconelli?" I shook my head. "Because you have a good life."
Looking through the testimonies collected by Sugar, I not only heard my own pain and fear as a victim of bullying, I also heard Charlie's voice in a note written by a local middle school student, just this past year.
On Thursday, The Hearth: Real Stories by Regular Folks will try to help mitigate the silence around our experiences as bullies, bystanders and targets as six community members share a true story of their experience of bullying. The all-ages event will be from 7 to 9 p.m. Jan. 24 at the Unitarian Fellowship at 87 Fourth St., Ashland. The cost is $5 and all proceeds will go to the ChoicePoint program at Mediation Works.
The stories are told from various perspectives and are full of courage, humor, hurt and sadness. Listening to these stories told by local adults might help all of us remove the shame and silence of bullying as well as create greater insight as to what our young people need from us now.
Mark Yaconelli is the program director for the Center for Engaged Compassion at Claremont School of Theology and the founder and director of The Hearth: Real Stories by Regular Folks. He has written four books, including "Wonder, Fear, and Longing: A Book of Prayers" (Zondervan).

According to data from Quest labs in 2004, both Minnesota and Mississippi were within 1/10th of a percent in LDL cholesterol, equal to or greater than 130mg/dl.
In simple English, both states had the same percentage of people testing with high "bad" cholesterol, yet Minnesota has the lowest death rates from heart disease, and Mississippi has the highest.
The difference in total cholesterol was insignificant.
Let me sum up where you're heading here. You are saying that since both regions have a similar number of the population with an LDL greater than 130 and there is not a consistent rate of death from heart disease, then LDL is not a risk factor. Is this correct?
You have the same problem with this supposition as your McDonald's theory, there are more variables not accounted for. You would need to account for the prevalence of all other risk factors by region and more importantly the quality of health care by region. The deep south is notorious for having less people receiving proper health care so they would not benefit from traditional treatment for heart disease so their rate of death would be higher than an area like Minnesota which has one of the highest level of health care in the country.
You can draw this conclusion properly with considerably more data and work.
For what it's worth.
Serum LDL levels are irrelevant as they are essentially no different.
I have gone back and read many of your old posts and you seem to have a real desire to disprove the cholesterol theory, why is that? Also, it looks like you have stated you were leaving an a couple occasions, yet here you are. Just curious, what is the issue?
Another example would be France and the UK. Despite the two country's cholesterol being essentially the same, with LDL the same, the UK suffers a heart disease rate 3 to 4 times that of France.
Likewise, the Ukraine takes the gold or silver medal for the highest heart disease death rates in the world, yet they have nothing wrong with their cholesterol levels. Normal.
To answer your question, I have a passion for the subject of heart disease. I lost my father to heart disease. I have experienced the devastating effects of cholesterol lowering drugs, and witnessed many others suffer needlessly from them.
I did stop posting here, but visited the site one day and saw your response to my posting a while back. Then found myself back in the conversation.
Have a nice day.
As far as your statements above, again they don't mean anything. For example, the UK has socialized medicine and despite what many think, their health care is sub par. They wait months to see doctors and are very limited on the meds they are given which is one reason they can get statins over the counter. France on the other hand has a very strong private sector medical system which provides far superior care. In fact, many Brits go to France for health care so it stands to reason the UK has a higher rate of deaths.
As far as the Ukraine goes, I did a little research and spoke with some associates that spend their time working in our health care think tanks after reading your post and they showed me data in which the cause of death in the Ukraine is not accurate as they have no standards. Many deaths are recorded as being heart related that would not be in this country, if it looks like heart disease and there is no other obvious cause, then heart disease it is so the numbers are meaningless Again, you make some blanket statements obviously based on bad data that you picked up from the Internet, it is not always reliable and requires a little more analysis. Nothing I have seen points to cholesterol not being a major risk factory, just my thoughts.
Sorry for your loss,
If you consider data from the World Health Organization as bad or meaningless data.
I always try to research Data from reliable sources such as the CDC, National Institutes of Health, WHO, and PubMed.
While the world is not perfect, and there is always a small margin of error, I personally wouldn't write these sources off as "bad data"
Everyone is entitled to their opinion.
There are numerous theories why The UK has a death rate from heart disease almost 4 times that of France despite cholesterol levels being the same. I honestly couldn't tell you why.
The traditional rural Greenland Inuit had less access to healthcare than the UK.( Some of them perhaps no access to healthcare.) Yet despite having cholesterol levels higher than the UK, they had mysteriously clean arteries, and the least heart disease in the world.
Here is what the WHO says.
Although the International Classification of Diseases is intended to provide a standard way of recording underlying cause of death, comparison of cause of death data over time and across countries should be undertaken with caution.
Accuracy in diagnosing causes of death still varies from one country to another. In addition the process of coding underlying causes of death involves some extent of misattribution or miscoding even in countries where causes are assigned by medically qualified staff. Main reasons are incorrect or systematic biases in diagnosis, incorrect or incomplete death certificates, misinterpretation of ICD rules for selection of the underlying cause, and variations in the use of coding categories for unknown and ill-defined causes.
Considerable differences exist in the degree of completeness of the vital registration data submitted by countries. In some countries, the vital registration data system covers only a part of the country (for example urban areas, or some provinces only). In some other countries, although the vital registration data system covers the whole country, not all deaths are registered.
Death registration coverage and cross-national differences in coding practices, particularly in the use of codes for ill-defined and unknown causes, must be taken into account to validly compare mortality rates for specific causes across countries. Additionally, where coverage is less than 100%, the cause of death distribution for the uncovered population may differ from that of the covered population.
I certainly have not seen anything in your posts that would make me feel as though LDL is not a risk factor, but perhaps I'm looking at it too simplistically.

For the global accountancy body, the EU executive is rightly targeting and associating long-term thinking with an integrated approach to address the pressing challenges linked to the financing of long-term investment needs, both for the private and the public sector.
ACCA supports the European Commission's decision to look in a holistic way at how the financial services sector channels investments, at the efficiency and effectiveness of financial markets, at the role of public policies in catalysing long-term saving and financing, and, last but not least, at facilitating SMEs' access to finance.
John Davies, head of technical at ACCA says: 'Many of the areas targeted by the Green Paper are close to ACCA's heart, such as corporate governance, accounting and corporate reporting, taxation, the role of the public sector, and especially access to finance for SMEs. We believe that new banking regulations, CRDIV in particular, could potentially risk making it more difficult for banks to finance the recovery in Europe and so we welcome the Commission's thinking on alternatives. In any case, it is important to acknowledge that Europe is more reliant on its banking sector for growth than the US or other major economies, and a shift to equity financing in particular is long overdue.'
John Davies stresses: 'We welcome moves to promote and facilitate the adoption of a more long-termist approach by businesses, large and small. Many of the problems we currently face are the consequence of businesses paying too much attention to short-term targets and performance measures and not enough to ensuring the sustainable and long term development of the business.'
'We recognise the importance of financial reporting for investors and so it is legitimate for its part to be considered. Reporting has to focus on giving relevant information to investors, whether they turn out to be long or short-term. Fair value has an important place in providing up-to-date information as long as its limitations are understood, though it will not always be the relevant measure especially for assets that are to be employed in the business rather than be sold' John Davies continues.
John Davies adds: 'From a public sector perspective, ACCA has always been an advocate of greater transparency of financial reporting, together with clarity on long-term policy and decision-making that goes beyond the short-term political cycle. In addition, sustainability must remain an important concern in shaping decisions on the size of any member state's overall investment programme and the role of investment institutions have an important role to play in this context.'
'We also believe that state aid and public procurement can help support local economies and dealing with the financial difficulties presented in a post-financial crisis world. Similarly, there is a need for a sound public private partnerships - PPPs - framework, but there is a caveat: PPPs should only be used where they can show a clear benefit for taxpayers and citizens' John Davies explains.
'Access to long-term finance is only one aspect of the wider picture on this issue but it is nonetheless important to incentivise businesses in financial terms. ACCA welcomes the opportunity to contribute to this wide-ranging public consultation and looks forward to the upcoming debates' John Davies concludes.

The Detroit-born rock star encountered bad concert karma this week.

Soon afterward, a Washington casino followed suit, canceling two August shows for the same reason. »Read Full Article(64)

Amy Bloom's 'Lucky Us' balances wicked humor, dark times
True to her reputation for dramatic openers, Amy Bloom begins "Lucky Us," her first novel in seven years, like this: "My father's wife died. My mother said we should drive down to his place and see what's in it for us."
It's a breezy and funny beginning, from a writer who has always had a wicked sense of humor. But the mood soon alters: The speaker — 12-year-old Eva Acton — learns that what Mom really wants to see is what's in this death for her. She dumps Eva on the grieving Edgar — father to both the illegitimate Eva and the legitimate, 16-year-old Iris — and disappears, except for a brief cameo late in the novel. »Read Full Article

Michael Douglas, Diane Keaton keep 'And So It Goes' going
It's hard to believe that director Rob Reiner's latest effort, the formulaic romantic comedy-drama "And So It Goes," is the first time Oscar winners Michael Douglas ("One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest," "Wall Street") and Diane Keaton ("Annie Hall") have worked together on-screen.
Better late than never. But it would have been nice to see them in a project that didn't call upon the talented duo to have to do so much heavy lifting. »Read Full Article

Weird Al Yankovic's 'Mandatory Fun' and 6 other comedy albums to hit No. 1
Weird Al Yankovic's new album "Mandatory Fun" took the top spot on the Billboard 200 album chart this week — the first time a comedy album has been No. 1 in 51 years.
The last time comedy was king of the pop charts was when spoof-meister Allan Sherman had a No. 1 album with "My Son, the Nut" in 1963. In fact, the early 1960s were the golden age of comedy albums, with six coming in at No. 1 from 1960 through 1963, according to Billboard chart-tracker and Menomonee Falls native Joel Whitburn: »Read Full Article

Philip Seymour Hoffman is haunting in, and haunts, 'A Most Wanted Man'
When Philip Seymour Hoffman leaves the frame in the final scene of "A Most Wanted Man," the camera lingers on the blank space where he had been for a beat, before fading to black.

July 2014 Gallery Night & Day: What to see
Twenty years ago, Santiago Cucullu, one of Milwaukee's most widely exhibited and respected artists, went to a party in Buenos Aires. On Friday, an exhibition will result from friendships that began at that fete. That show, "Lejos," is my top pick for this Gallery Night & Day, the quarterly art crawl when galleries, museums and other venues stay open late and hold special receptions and events.
Co-curated by Cucullu, a native Argentine, the show at the Dean Jensen Gallery, 759 N. Water St., presents the work of six artists from Argentina, members of Artistas en Cooperativa. The informal collective of female artists is exhibiting as a group in the United States for the first time. Most of them are painters who create work that is in some way abstract and often surreal. »Read Full Article
