Obesity, Smoking, Drinking, Depression: All Linked to Low Back Pain
Posted 3 days ago by Drugs.com
WEDNESDAY, March 25, 2015 – People suffering from lower back pain who smoke, drink, are depressed or are obese may be able to ease their agony by making some lifestyle changes, a new study suggests. "If you have lower back pain that is not explained by a spinal problem but is more of a muscle pain, things like obesity, alcohol abuse, smoking and depression, factors that you can affect, can be contributing to it," explained lead researcher Dr. Scott Shemory, an orthopedic surgeon with Summa Health System in Akron, Ohio. Of all these risks, obesity is most obviously associated with back pain, he said. "It puts stress on all the joints and the lower back as well," he said. Also, smoking can decrease blood flow, which can also contribute to pain, he said. As for depression, it might contribute to the pain. On the other hand, lower back pain might contribute to depression, Shemory said. The ... Read more

Could In-Car Breathalyzers Slash Rate of Booze-Linked Crashes?
Posted 9 days ago by Drugs.com
THURSDAY, March 19, 2015 – In-car breathalyzers automatically prevent ignition when they detect blood-alcohol levels that exceed legal limits. Now, new research suggests that if the devices were installed in every new U.S. car, deaths linked to drunk driving would plummet by 85 percent over a 15-year period. Installation of the "interlock" devices would also eliminate between 84 to 88 percent of nonfatal drunk driving accidents, the analysis determined. "This amounts to an estimated 59,000 lives saves and more than 1.25 million serious injuries prevented," said study lead author Dr. Patrick Carter, an assistant professor with the University of Michigan Injury Center in Ann Arbor. The study was funded by the U.S. National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, and published March 19 in the American Journal of Public Health. According to the researchers, over the last two decades ... Read more

YouTube Videos of Drunkenness Don't Show Alcohol's Harms
Posted 20 Feb 2015 by Drugs.com
FRIDAY, Feb. 20, 2015 – YouTube videos of drunkenness are popular, but fail to show the harms of too much drinking, a new study finds. "There has been little research examining Internet-based, alcohol-related messaging," study author Dr. Brian Primack, director of the University of Pittsburgh's Center for Research on Media, Technology, and Health, said in a university news release. "While we know that some viewers may be savvy enough to skeptically view music videos or advertisements portraying intoxication as fun, those same viewers may be less cynical when viewing user-generated YouTube videos portraying humorous and socially rewarding escapades of a group of intoxicated peers," he noted. In the study, the researchers used five terms – drunk, buzzed, hammered, tipsy and trashed – to search YouTube and found that the 70 most popular videos depicting drunken behavior had a total of ...

TV Alcohol Ads Tied to Problem Drinking for Teens, Study Finds
Posted 19 Jan 2015 by Drugs.com
MONDAY, Jan. 19, 2015 – A new study finds a link between the number of TV ads for alcohol a teen views, and their odds for problem drinking. Higher "familiarity" with booze ads "was associated with the subsequent onset of drinking across a range of outcomes of varying severity among adolescents and young adults," wrote a team led by Dr. Susanne Tanski of Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire. Their work involved nearly 1,600 participants, aged 15 to 23, who were surveyed in 2011 and again in 2013. Alcohol ads on TV were seen by about 23 percent of those aged 15 to 17, nearly 23 percent of those aged 18 to 20, and nearly 26 percent of those aged 21 to 23, the study found. The study wasn't designed to prove cause-and-effect. However, the more receptive the teens were to alcohol ads on TV, the more likely they were to start drinking, or to progress from drinking ...

Many Americans Who Drink Also Take Prescription Medications: Study
Posted 16 Jan 2015 by Drugs.com
FRIDAY, Jan. 16, 2015 – A substantial number of Americans who drink also take medications that should not be mixed with alcohol, new government research suggests. The study, of nearly 27,000 U.S. adults, found that among current drinkers, about 43 percent were on prescription medications that interact with alcohol. Depending on the medication, that mix can cause side effects ranging from drowsiness and dehydration to depressed breathing and lowered heart rate. It's not clear how many people were drinking and taking their medications around the same time – or even on the same day, the researchers stressed. "But this does tell us how big the problem could potentially be," said study co-author Aaron White, a neuroscientist at the U.S. National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA). He and his colleagues report the findings in the February online edition of the journal ... Read more

Smoking May Make It Tougher to Quit Problem Drinking: Study
Posted 12 Dec 2014 by Drugs.com
FRIDAY, Dec. 12, 2014 – Smoking might hamper treatment for alcohol abuse, a new study indicates. "The data suggest that smoking is associated with difficulties in alcohol treatment. Tobacco smokers had shorter treatment durations and were less likely to have achieved their alcohol-related goals at discharge relative to their nonsmoking counterparts," study leader Kimberly Walitzer, deputy director and senior research scientist at the Research Institute on Addictions at University at Buffalo, said in a university news release. "This should be a major concern for treatment providers, as the majority of people with alcohol disorders are, in fact, smokers," she added. Researchers examined data from more than 21,000 adults who sought alcohol abuse treatment at outpatient clinics in New York State. Compared with men, women who seek treatment for problem drinking are slightly more likely to ... Read more

Many People Who Drink a Lot Aren't Alcoholics: CDC
Posted 20 Nov 2014 by Drugs.com
THURSDAY, Nov. 20, 2014 – Most people who drink to excess or binge drink are not alcoholics, a new U.S. government report says. In fact, 90 percent of those who drink too much aren't dependent on alcohol. But one in three adults drinks to excess, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. "A lot of people mistakenly assume that people who drink too much are alcoholics," said study co-author Dr. Robert Brewer, the leader of CDC's alcohol program. "The surprising finding was that nine out of 10 people who drink too much do not meet the diagnostic criteria for alcoholism," he said. Brewer said that some excessive drinkers are "self-medicating." "But a lot of it is a reflection of the fact that we live in a society where people get a lot of mixed messages about drinking," he said. "A lot of people have been led to believe that drinking, and often drinking a large ... Read more

Alcoholism Damages Brain's White Matter, Scans Show
Posted 18 Nov 2014 by Drugs.com
TUESDAY, Nov. 18, 2014 – Alcoholism damages white matter throughout the brain and this damage can be detected with brain scans, researchers report. Heavy drinking may be especially damaging to white matter in the frontal areas of the brain, which can interfere with the impulse control needed to stop drinking, according to the study. The findings were published in the December online issue of Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research. The researchers used high-resolution structural magnetic resonance scans to compare the brains of 20 light drinkers and 31 abstinent alcoholics who drank for an average of 25 years and had been sober for about five years. "There were two key findings to our study," Catherine Brawn Fortier, a neuropsychologist at the VA Boston Healthcare System and an assistant professor at Harvard Medical School, said in a journal news release. "First, recovered ... Read more

Civilian Life, Not Combat, May Drive Many Veterans to Drink
Posted 31 Jul 2014 by Drugs.com
THURSDAY, July 31, 2014 – Difficulties in civilian life, rather than war experiences, are a source of drinking problems among U.S. National Guard soldiers back at home, a new study suggests. Setbacks such as job loss, divorce and financial problems – all common for returning vets – may make as many as 13 percent of vets turn to drink, researchers found. "Exposure to combat-related traumatic events has an important effect on mental health in the short term, but what defines long-term mental health problems among Guardsmen is having to deal with a lot of daily life difficulties that arise in the aftermath of deployment when soldiers come home," said lead researcher Magdalena Cerda, an assistant professor of epidemiology at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health in New York City. These difficulties don't just aggravate existing drinking problems; "they may lead to new ... Read more

Adults Who've Abused Alcohol May Be at Risk for Memory Problems
Posted 30 Jul 2014 by Drugs.com
WEDNESDAY, July 30, 2014 – Middle-aged adults with a history of alcohol abuse are more than twice as likely as others to develop severe memory problems later in life, according to a new study. The British researchers said their findings could help doctors identify those at risk for memory problems who might benefit from help for problem drinking. "We already know there is an association between dementia risk and levels of current alcohol consumption – that understanding is based on asking older people how much they drink and then observing whether they develop problems," said the study's leader, Dr. Iain Lang of University of Exeter Medical School in England, in a university news release. But little is known about the consequences of alcohol consumption earlier in life, he said. "What we did here is investigate the relatively unknown association between having a drinking problem at ... Read more

Science Finds Way to Block Booze's Effect -- in Worms
Posted 16 Jul 2014 by Drugs.com
WEDNESDAY, July 16, 2014 – Scientists who created worms that can't get drunk say their research could lead to new ways to treat people with drinking problems. The research team inserted a modified human alcohol target into the worms. An alcohol target is a nervous system molecule that binds alcohol. There are many types of these molecules. "This is the first example of altering a human alcohol target to prevent intoxication in an animal," corresponding author Jon Pierce-Shimomura, an assistant professor in the College of Natural Sciences and Waggoner Center for Alcohol and Addiction Research at the University of Texas at Austin, said in a university news release. Pierce-Shimomura even suggested that this target could be used to develop a "James Bond"-type spy drug that could allow someone to outdrink an opponent without feeling the effects of alcohol.

1 in 10 Deaths Among Adults Tied to Alcohol: CDC
Posted 28 Jun 2014 by Drugs.com
THURSDAY, June 26, 2014 – One in 10 deaths among U.S. adults is linked to excessive alcohol consumption, federal officials reported Thursday. While people often link drinking with deaths from motor vehicle accidents and chronic liver disease, many other conditions that can cause death are tied to alcohol, said lead researcher Mandy Stahre. "Excessive drinking is associated with a lot more causes of death than what we tend to focus on. Alcohol intake plays a role in at least 54 different conditions linked to death," said Stahre, an epidemiologist at the Washington state Department of Health who conducted the study while at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Among them: acute pancreatitis, psychosis, esophageal cancer, breast cancer, oral cancer, falling injuries, suicide and drowning. "Binge drinking is associated with 51 percent of all deaths due to excessive ... Read more

Scientists Find More Genes Tied to Alcoholism Risk
Posted 21 May 2014 by Drugs.com
TUESDAY, May 20, 2014 – New research pinpoints 11 gene variations that appear to be linked to a higher risk of alcoholism. However, their impact seems to be small in individuals, and the findings may be too limited to be immediately useful in terms of prevention or treatment, an expert said. Still, the results could provide more insight into the mysterious role that genes play in determining why some people drink and don't get addicted while others become alcoholics, the researchers said. It may be possible someday for young people to take a blood test and learn if they're susceptible to alcoholism, said study co-author Dr. Alexander Niculescu III, an associate professor of psychiatry and medical neuroscience at Indiana University School of Medicine. "Genes are not destiny, but knowing your genetic risk profile can empower you to make smart lifestyle choices," such as avoiding alcohol, ... Read more

Smartphone App May Help People Overcome Alcoholism
Posted 26 Mar 2014 by Drugs.com
WEDNESDAY, March 26, 2014 – A smartphone application, or "app," designed to tackle addiction has helped recovering alcoholics stay sober or reduce their risky drinking, a new clinical trial reports. Participants using the A-CHESS app were 65 percent more likely to abstain from drinking in the year following their release from a treatment center, compared to others who left the center without support from the app, researchers found. App users also experienced about half the episodes of "risky drinking" – consuming more than four drinks for men and three drinks for women during a two-hour period – compared to people who received traditional post-treatment support, according to the study. "These sort of systems have enormous potential," said lead author David Gustafson, a professor of industrial engineering and preventive medicine at the University of Wisconsin.

Most Alcohol-Linked Deaths Occur Among Working-Age Adults: CDC
Posted 13 Mar 2014 by Drugs.com
THURSDAY, March 13, 2014 – Americans' excessive alcohol use contributes to thousands of deaths each year, and the majority who die are working-age adults, according to a new government report. More than two-thirds of these deaths and 80 percent of years of life lost come from the ranks of adults aged 20 to 64, said lead author Katy Gonzales, an alcohol epidemiologist with the Michigan Department of Community Health. "It's really important to drive home that excessive alcohol use is a leading cause of preventable death," Gonzales said. "It really is right up there with tobacco and physical inactivity, especially among working-age adults." The state-specific report, released Thursday by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, found that, in the 11 states studied, alcohol caused a median of 1,650 deaths each year between 2006 and 2010. This equated to a median of 43,000 ... Read more

The Captain of the Port, New York-New Jersey, has issued a reminder about the importance of providing accurate clearance information, and warns that civil penalties may be pursued against any vessel owner, master or person in charge that provides inaccurate information that contributes to a bridge strike, GAC said in its daily Hot Port News alert.
The Coast Guard Sector New York Marine Safety Information Bulletin 01-14 states, "The Bayonne Bridge is undergoing a two-year construction project to raise the roadway an average of 65 feet. The associated demolition activities and work platforms outside of the navigable channel present serious safety considerations for mariners. Despite previous Coast Guard advisories, the Bayonne Bridge has been struck twice within the past four months. The most recent allision demasted a ship's INMARSAT C and Ship Safety Alert System antennas. In this case, the Coast Guard is pursuing a civil penalty against the ship's owner.
"To ensure the safety of the bridge work crews, as well as ships navigating in the vicinity of the construction project. Each vessel owner, master, or person in charge is reminded to review and update as necessary their ship's particulars. In accordance with Title 22 Code of Federal Regulations Section 164.11(k), this includes knowing the distance from their ship's keel to its highest point, providing accurate information to the Pilot and the ship's agent for safe navigation, and clearly indicating whether vessel modification data or any adjustable or whip antennas are included.
"Bridge allisions, including ship antenna and mast strikes, may cause severe property damage or even loss of life. Vessels must take proactive measures to ensure they can safely navigate under bridges and other overhead obstructions before attempting such transits. Depending on the facts of future incidents, the Coast Guard will likely pursue civil penalties against any vessel owner, master or person in charge that provides inaccurate information that contributes to a bridge allision within the New York-New Jersey Caption of the Port Zone. The maximum penalty authorized by the Ports and Waterway Safety Act is USD 40,000 per incident."

Death in the digital age - what happens to our status updates after we've gone?
Story supplied by LU Press Office
As Facebook marks its tenth anniversary this month, researchers at Lancaster have been looking into how social media is changing our way of living and dying.
Researchers Dr Paul Coulton and Selina Ellis Gray are analysing the ways in which western mourning practices are changing in the modern world thanks to the increasing amounts of personal data we leave online.
Selina Ellis Gray said: "Our deaths are now followed by the slow decay of a massive body of data, which include huge amounts created from regular social media use."
As part of her interdisciplinary PhD, which is funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, she is questioning what happens to all our tweets, status updates and selfies after we've gone and how can we begin to design for these remains.
Until the social media boom the popular understanding was the public mourning was in retreat in the west, with social and religious traditions no longer having such a uniform influence on the way we say goodbye. But in today's Facebook age a new form of mourning has emerged. Selina Ellis Gray's ongoing research explores blogs about grief, memorial pages on Facebook, tributes on Instagram, shrines on twitter, digital scrapbooks and support groups for the bereaved springing up in diverse and highly personal responses to loss. Decades of similar digital content is also decaying, posing new problems to those that are left behind to manage it.
Dr Coulton said: "In today's digital age, when we die we often leave behind a digital legacy. Relatives are no longer only considering what to do with books, tea sets, vases and toolboxes but they are also thinking about online social remnants such as digital photos, videos, status updates and emails.
"While these ghostly reminders online are enabling new types of mourning practices, they are consequently presenting a number of challenges to the traditional role of custodianship as these remnants of digital life cannot be placed within rooms or on shelves in quite the same way as a piece of jewellery or a lock of hair.
"These remains are searchable, discoverable and open to reinterpretation such that the dead can return unbidden to haunt the living in unexpected ways."
The threshold between life and death has also become a much more public event with the last status updates and final tweets of victims of events such as the Colorado massacre becoming global news. Selina has documented how such spaces online have become highly visited, with some gathering over 10 million views and daily visitors who consider these places as a positive focus for their loss. She hopes her ongoing research in this emergent area will have an impact on future technology design and also support services. Alongside her thesis, Selina has a number of publications forthcoming in 2014 and will be presenting at this year's first ?Death Online Research' symposium with other leading experts in the field.
Dr Coulton said: "These changing responses to death ? and the digital legacy we leave behind ? are posing all sorts of new questions and challenges, not only for technology designers and professionals who provide bereavement support but also for society in general."

Selina Ellis Gray is based in Lancaster University's Highwire - a Centre for Doctoral Training focusing on the Digital Economy which is funded by the Research Councils UK Digital Economy Programme.

Low Headroom Garage Door Installation Options?
azroyalMay 6, 2008
I would like to correct the previous sloppy installation of our garage door. The current horizontal track is tilted downward away from the door to clear a supporting beam above the door. Various do-it-yourself sites advertise different fixes, and I'd appreciate advice on how the hardware is used and why I would use one method over another. Fixes seem to fall into the following categories:
- Low headroom horizontal parallel track
- Low headroom kit (set of special brackets and small radius curved track)
- Quick-turn brackets
Thanks in advance for any advice.

best surface for tile - hardiboard or self-leveling mortar??????
I'm probably calling the terms incorrectly calling it surface and self-leveling mortar, but if the subfloor is level and sound, what is a better surface to lay tile on: hardiboard or the self-leveling mortar that produces a very flat surface? One friend says one is the way to go, the other swears it is the other. I know pros seem to go the self leveling route more often. Is one cheaper, faster or otherwise better if floor levelness questions are not major? How about if the subfloor is just borderline regarding supporting the weight of the tile? Does the hardiboard win out in that case or is the self leveling stuff stiff enough?
Your first problem is the statement of the subfloor being borderline.Backer board might add a miniscule strength, but with tile, if you have bounce and give with the subfloor,it's going to be a constant maintenance issue with your grout joints. Your first consideration would be to get your subfloor structurally sound enough not to have any bounce/flexing/give.
After that, come back and get advise from a flooring pro here regarding the backer,self leveling part of the show.
nothing beats a mortar bed installation.
It's how stone has been installed for thousands of years and still how the majority of the world installs stone and ceramic tile, and considering its historical longevity, it's a no brainer, but in it's use, the cost may be prohibtive when compared to thin-set and backerboard technology. Also it's hard to find mud-bed isntaller in the USA and expensive when you do find them.
As to your subfloor movement, or deflection, the industry standards are as follows:
The Tile Council of North America recommends a deflection of no more than L/360 of the span for ceramic tile, and the Marble Institute of America recommends the deflection of the subfloor/substrate to be no more than L/720 of the span for natural stone, or twice as much as that of ceramic tile.
To calculate deflection, convert the area span from feet into inches then divide by 360 or 720. The end result gives you the maximum amount the floor can move under an "expected load".
To give you a close estimate of your subfloors deflection rate, here is a handy tool at John Bridges website called: Deflectolator subfloor/substrate deflection calculator.
Ok now on to your choices if you dont want the problem of finding a mud-bed isntaller or the cost of mud-bed installations.
There are 4 products I recommend whole heartedly and proved to be suitable solutions when deflection is within the above tolerances:
Schluter Ditra - waterproofing, load-distribution, and ucoupling membrane
Wonderboard - Cementious Backer Unit
Durock - Cementious Backer Unit
It is important to note that no mortar bed, membrane, or backer unit will sturdy up a subfloor/substrate in terms of deflection, and that the substrate needs to be withing deflection paramneters BEFORE any of the tile system is installed to support that system. The subfloor/substrate needs to be within specified deflection prior to the installation of any tile system. It simply adds rigidity between joists to carry the load without it cracking, and in cases of membranes, it adds waterproofing, load-distribution, and uncoupling properties.
A self leveling compound will not add to any framing/joists ability to carry a load. In fact, it adds alot of extra weight to that system possibly limiting the load even more than any mudbed or CBU/FBU system. According to the specifications, the framing needs to be within specified deflection before topical coatings, menbranes, backer units, mudbeds, or thin set is added.
In conclusion, it depends on your framing and deflection rate as to what is best for you. I am not a huge proponent in SLC's for ceramic tile over a wood substrate simply because the way alot of houses are built today the extra weigh of the SLC can cause problems. I believe in fixing the woodworking and subfloor system or patching it to within height tolerances. Over concrete it is fine because concrete is much more sturdy. I just think some use SLC's way to liberally as a blanket easy fix, when they may very well work in one persons house and not well in anothers. I have repaired many tile jobs over SLC's over wood because of this. Every year we have a few customers whom we make cracked grout joint and tile repairs for because someone used an SLC over their wood subfloor as a base for their tile job because the added weight of the slc when combined with the added weight of the tile and thinset made deflection that much more, and they dont want to rip it all out and fix it right for the time, expense, and mess involved.
I am not saying anything in particular is right or wrong for you, or that any will absolutely succeed or fail, but I just want you to consider the information.
It all depends on your framing/joist system and its deflection, so figuring that out is the first step then you can decide from there.
Self leveling mortar (SLM) is certainly going to be more expensive than hardibacker. And, I'm not sure I would agree that the pros tend to use SLM more often. I've layed 6 floors as a DIYer - all of them on hardibacker, and everything has been just fine. As some of the previous responders have written, the subfloor is more important. Neither HB or an SLM are going to provide you significant additional strength. The only way you can get that is (1) adding joists; (2) adding blocking between joists; (3) adding to / replacing plywood.
The only reason I would use an SLM is if (1) the floors are unlevel to begin with and you want to correct this; (2) you are laying a radiant heated floor and need to cover the electrical wires.
In any event, if you still plan to use the Self-leveling underlayment method, I wrote an article on how to get self-leveling mortars to level on my blog.

Only 6 channels down in uptown.
Rob is correct... it has always been the risk-averse and short-term ROI focused nature (at least when they wouldn't have the "utility" label to hide behind) that has kept the telcos away from large scale residential broadband deployment. The Cable Act of 1992 (very much a product of Al Gore's dislike for the cable industry) was intended to open the door for the telcos to swoop in and take broadband video away from the cable companies. In reality, it never happened... in fact, it had the exact opposite effect. Why? First, as Rob noted, the capital expenditure required to build all new broadband plant based on speculation of some percentage of business they could steal from the cable ops was too big a pill to swallow for the telcos. Second, the Cable Act of '92 forced the cable operators' hand to start merging/swapping systems to create the regional superclusters we have today. This gave them the critical mass needed to start offering telco and data services, with only incremental upgrades required to their already broadband-capable physical plant. So instead of pushing the telcos into video, the Cable Act ended up pushing the cable ops into voice/data (I think there may be a lesson somewhere in there about the unintended consequences of gov't trying to regulate business entities that they really don't understand).
Don't think for a minute that the cable operators were completely green and jumping cold into operating two-way interactive services on their cable plant. Warner had been making big public splashes with QUBE for some time, and even smaller operators such as Vision Cable had a good bit of experience, going back to the early '80s, with fiber optics and two-way cable plant, running home security monitoring, Impulse PPV ordering (the forerunner of VoD), Dow Jones News retrieval, two-way live video links for arraignment hearings without need to transport prisoners, etc.
The real irony of all of this (and perhaps most telling aspect of what the telcos really got out of the Cable Act) is that AT&T became a MAJOR supplier to the cable industry in the early '90s, selling them the fiber, optical transmission components and even the data switching/grooming equipment that became the backbone of cable's foray into telephony and broadband data. AT&T was heavily invested in setting up the cable ops in the telco/data world... I personally spent (cumulatively) months in AT&T training courses and spec'd $10s of millions of AT&T hardware for Vision Cable. Strange bedfellows, indeed.
Looks like those are rolled into Comcast:

Not crazy about the pattern

The rug is as advertised. It is comfortable to walk on and stays in place without the need of a pad. However, I wish I had purchased one without a pattern. I am not crazy about all those little leaves.

There's a new game that's taking the web by storm! Well maybe not, but it is pretty weird. But it's also really fun and addicting. It's called Catlateral Damage. You play from the first person view of a cat, and your only objective is to be evil like most cats are and knock as much stuff on the floor as possible.
Unlike cats, dogs aren't expected to be naturally brilliant jumpers.

Althea Gibson must be smiling over Venus, Serena
As Venus and Serena Williams reached the 2008 Wimbledon final, many noted the great athletic accomplishments for the sisters, and fewer noted it as another racial milestone in sports. Venus's fifth singles title is surely remarkable, but it pales in comparison to the trailblazing efforts of Althea Gibson at Wimbledon in 1957.
In 1989, we honored Arthur Ashe when I was director of Northeastern University's Center for the Study of Sport in Society. The first thing Ashe said in his acceptance speech at the ceremony was, "I would not have had the chance to do what I have been able to do if Althea Gibson had not blazed the way for me."
Buxton was the first Jewish champion at Wimbledon, and Gibson was the first African-American champion. An English newspaper reported their victory at Wimbledon under the headline "Minorities Win."
Gibson was to win a great deal more, including singles titles at both Wimbledon and the U.S. Championships (now the U.S. Open) in 1957 and 1958. In 1957, she earned the No. 1 ranking in the world, and she was named The Associated Press Female Athlete of the Year in 1957 and '58. She was the first African-American female to win that award.
At age 31, she suddenly retired from amateur tennis in 1958. There was no prize money and there were no endorsement deals for women in that era. There was no pro tour for women, so Gibson could only earn money in exhibition matches.
Growing up impoverished in Harlem, Gibson changed tennis. She became the first African-American tennis star to be hailed internationally during an era when sexism and racism were abundant. The successes of Serena and Venus Williams are so important; but compared to Gibson's achievements, they are faint knocks on the door at the elite level of tennis.
Hopes were high for other African-American women after Gibson won at Wimbledon, but it took 42 years for the next such champion to emerge, when Venus Williams won the first of her five singles titles there in 2000. Other women of color to win that coveted crown were Australian Yvonne Goolagong Cawley (1971 and 1980), Brazil's Maria Bueno (1959, 1960 and 1964) and Spain's Conchita Martinez (1994). Serena Williams won Wimbledon's women's singles titles in 2002 and 2003.
Born in 1927 in Silver, S.C., Gibson's family moved to Harlem in 1930, where they lived on welfare for most of her youth. Developing her early skills from table tennis in public parks, she began to win at that game in Police Athletic Leagues and Parks Department-sponsored tournaments. Musician Buddy Walker gave her the first opportunity to play tennis and helped her to become a member of the Harlem Cosmopolitan Tennis Club, a group of African-American athletes. In 1942, Gibson played and won her first tennis tournament, which was sponsored by the American Tennis Association. Later, she was introduced to a physician from Lynchburg, Va., Dr. Walter Johnson, who mentored her, providing the opportunity to play more and improve her game. Johnson later became an influential person in Ashe's life.
In 1946, Gibson decided to further pursue her tennis career and moved to Wilmington, N.C., to work under Dr. Hubert A. Eaton while she attended high school. She won the first of her 10 straight ATA women's singles national championships in 1947.
Her tennis career continued to rise fast while she was a student at Florida A&M University in Tallahassee, from where she graduated in 1953.
At the time, tennis was virtually 100 percent segregated. In fact, Gibson didn't compete against white tennis players for the first time until 1949. In July 1950, Alice Marble wrote an editorial for American Lawn Tennis Magazine in which she said, "Miss Gibson is over a very cunningly wrought barrel, and I can only hope to loosen a few of its staves with one lone opinion. If tennis is a game for ladies and gentlemen, it's also time we acted a little more like gentlepeople and less like sanctimonious hypocrites. If Althea Gibson represents a challenge to the present crop of women players, it's only fair that they should meet that challenge on the courts."
In 1950, Gibson played in the U.S. Championships for the first time.
In 1953, she took part in a U.S. State Department goodwill tennis tour to Southeast Asia. When she returned from the tour, the big victories began to pile up, leading to the 1956 French Championship.
Gibson won 56 singles and doubles titles during her amateur career in the 1950s, and won 10 major titles after the 1956 French Championship. Eventually, she was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame, the International Women's Sports Hall of Fame, the International Scholar-Athletes Hall of Fame and many others.
After her retirement from amateur tennis, she released a record album, "Althea Gibson Sings," and later, she appeared in the film "The Horse Soldiers." Her "pro" tennis career included a tour with the Harlem Globetrotters, playing exhibition tennis. Reportedly, she made $100,000 in matches before the Globetrotters games. In 1964, Gibson began playing professional golf on the LPGA tour.
In 1971 at the age of 44, she tried a comeback in professional tennis, but was far past her prime and could not compete with the younger players.
In 1975, Gibson was named the manager of the East Orange, N.J., Department of Recreation, a position she held for 10 years. She was also the New Jersey state commissioner of athletics from 1975 to 1985, and she served on the state's Athletics Control Board until 1988 and on the Governor's Council on Physical Fitness until 1992, when she retired.
Gibson began experiencing health problems in the 1990s and suffered a stroke in 1992. She also had two cerebral aneurysms. These health problems caused a significant financial burden on her, and she became a recluse, rarely seeing people or being seen in public. Again living on welfare, Gibson was unable to pay for her medical or living costs. Eventually, Gibson called her old doubles partner, Buxton, and told her she'd been contemplating suicide. Without informing Gibson, Buxton arranged for a letter requesting support to appear in a tennis magazine. Nearly $1 million poured in from around the world.
Gibson died on Sept. 28, 2003, at the age of 76. I attended the funerals of both Ashe and Gibson. Ashe, who hailed her as his champion and role model, drew thousands from across the globe to his funeral in Richmond, Va. Perhaps because she'd been a recluse for nearly a decade, the crowd that came to Gibson's services numbered in the hundreds but did not quite fill the Trinity and St. Philip's Cathedral in Newark, N.J.
Zina Garrison, the next African-American woman after Gibson to reach the Wimbledon final (she lost to Martina Navratilova in 1990), eulogized Gibson, too.
"Althea used to say she wanted me to be the one who broke her barrier, to take the burden off of her [as the only black woman to have won Wimbledon]," Garrison said. "She showed me the stall where she dressed and where she popped the champagne when she won. She knew she opened the door for all of us, and she was so excited about all the women who followed her."
After Gibson passed away, Venus Williams released a statement honoring her role model: "I am grateful to Althea Gibson for having the strength and courage to break through the racial barriers in tennis. Althea Gibson was the first African-American woman to rank number one and win Wimbledon, and I am honored to have followed in such great footsteps."
I surmise that Gibson was there in spirit Saturday when Venus won her fifth Wimbledon title.
Her legacy is being carried on by the Althea Gibson Foundation, which was founded "for the primary purpose of identifying, encouraging and providing financial support for urban youth who wish to develop their skills and talents in the sports of tennis or golf, and have decided to pursue a career as a student athlete at the post-secondary level. The Foundation will continue her work to encourage young people to utilize sports to help improve upon the social condition of urban America and to promote global unity."
Gibson once said, "I hope that I have accomplished just one thing: that I have been a credit to tennis and my country."
She was a credit to all of humanity. And she blazed the trail for the Williams sisters.

We thought it was not possible to top last years event but it happened. Ones again the sickest railbattle that has ever been went down in The Hague, Holland. Thousands of spectators got amped by good music, good snowboarding and hail. During the finals the party erupted and the crowd didn't let the rain and hail stop their jumping and bouncing and cheering.
It's impossible to capture that vibe in a video especially because I was cheering just as hard when I should have been filming. Blame the rain.

Four persons, including an Indian Army man, have been arrested by the Central Industrial Security Force at the Indira Gandhi International Airport here for allegedly attempting to smuggle out a large consignment of pseudo-ephedrine to Mizoram via Kolkata. The 85-kg courier is worth Rs.4 crore in the international market.
In the early hours of Wednesday, the CISF personnel scanning the baggage of passengers detected an object suggesting that some narcotic substance had been kept in two bags. On physical examination, they seized 85 kg of tablets that when tested using a narcotic substance kit turned out to be pseudo-ephedrine. The CISF subsequently detected four of the passengers.
They were identified as Lalparmawia (30), who is in the 3rd Assam Regiment of the Indian Army from Shillong in Meghalaya, besides Vin Ramdingngheta (27), David Lalnuntluanga (23) and Ramdim (22 yrs) from Mizoram. During interrogation, they disclosed that they were on their way to board a flight to Kolkata from where they were going to Aizawl. The four had stayed at Janakpuri in West Delhi. Three of the accused worked in call-centres.
"The value of the recovered drugs is Rs.68 Lakh in India and Rs.4.08 crore in the international market," said a CISF spokesperson, adding that the Narcotics Control Bureau had confirmed that the seized tablets were pseudo-ephedrine. The accused have been handed over to the NCB for further action.
During the past few weeks, the CISF along with other agencies has detained 13 persons and seized over 300 kg of pseudo-ephedrine.

Professor Richard Parncutt Calls for Death Penalty for Global Warming Hoax Deniers
Hardcore global warming ideologues are not just kooks, but evil kooks. If that sounds like hyperbole, check out the final solution Australian expat Richard Parncutt, a professor at the University of Graz in Austria, advocates for those who won't drink the Kool-Aid voluntarily:
I propose that the death penalty is appropriate for influential GW deniers.
He justifies murdering his ideological opponents with the authoritarian trick of utilitarianism. Any crime can be excused if pointy-headed elitists decide that it promotes the greatest good for the greatest number. As Parncutt puts it:
If ten million people are going to die with a probability of 10%, that is like one million people dying with a probability of 100%.
That is, even if there is only a 10% chance that global warming is not a complete crock, it is still the equivalent of murdering 1 million people if you do not impose global totalitarianism and Medieval living standards in an attempt to prevent it. Therefore, by shooting a few thousand people who insist on clinging to politically incorrect notions of individual liberty, our rulers would actually be saving many lives. If killing a few thousand doesn't do the trick…
Being a moonbat, Parncutt believes that even mass murderers should not be subject to the death penalty. Those who point out that he is full of baloney, however, must be killed for the greater good.
Combine utilitarianism, progressives' rejection of any meaningful system of morality, and the shrill hysteria that has eggheads looking for final solutions, and the lame joke that is global warming could end up killing more people than communism. All we need is for the wrong people to be in charge — and they are already in charge. If they are able to consolidate their power sufficiently, who knows what lengths they will go to to make the world safe from humanity?
Meanwhile, it still hasn't gotten any warmer for the past 16 years. But maybe shooting anyone who repeats it will make that inconvenient truth go away.
On a tip from Smorfia48. Cross-posted at Moonbattery.
