Come, don't be afraid. We're going deep within the notorious heart of Soho, where we shall trip down glistening black steps into a gloomy cave full of hidden wonders and unspeakable activities. Take my hand as we prowl silently down murky low-slung hallways and lose ourselves amidst the directionless gloom. Peer cautiously through narrow windows subtly positioned on barely-visible doors,...more
Thank you for the music...
Ok, so we can't carry a tune in a paper bag but my friends & I thoroughly enjoyed a night at Lucky Voice for karaoke.
We sang(hmmm...), danced, laughed and murder each and every song we programmed into our pod machine.
I booked a room for 8 of us and blagged us each a free Cosmopolitan, as I organise a Sex & The City group. They were STRONG, so assisted us in...more
Having been a fan of Lucky Voice for years, I finally visited its Soho location a few months back with a big group of people from work.
The rabbit warren style booths, a lack of signal cutting you off from outside contact and the other-worldy sense you feel when you pop back up smack bang in the middle of Poland Street upon resurfacing makes it my favourite of the bunch.
Pink neon strip...more
I should start by saying that I couldn't carry a tune if I had handles. I suck at Karaoke. While some would argue that this is part of the fun, I must correct them by sing a few lines from any song. I do get a bit of anxiety, like sweaty palms and under boobies anxiety when singing in front of a crowd. Inebriated or not, it will always be a nerve racking experience, not so much...more
Poor Lucky Voice Soho.
My love for you has faded since your flashier, bigger and, quite frankly, better, Lucky Voice sibling opened in Islington. They serve draft beer there, have big windows in their bar area, rooms that are more flexible if an extra few people tag along and the corridor does not smell of wee.
Still, when centrality is required you still serve my singing needs well.more

According to Dr. Leonard Sax, many young men in the United States today lack drive and motivation in pursuing careers, relationships and other important goals—and coeducation early in life is largely to blame. Dr. Oz talks with Dr. Sax, a pediatrician and psychologist in the Washington, D.C., area and founder of the National Association for Single-Sex Public Education, about the underlying causes for underachievement and what he says can help reverse this trend.
Dr. Sax says the prevailing coeducational model in place in most public schools today puts young boys—and girls—at a disadvantage because they are roped into behavior patterns that are not designed for their age and gender. For example, young boys are forced to sit still for long periods of time and are given academic material inappropriate for their developmental stage. The result is that some boys are turned off to academics altogether, he says. As children get older, Dr. Sax says that gender differences continue to reveal themselves in other ways. For instance, he says most girls grasp subjects such as math and science in a manner that differs from the way boys comprehend them. By using the same teaching methods for both boys and girls, many girls end up falling behind their male counterparts as a result, he says. While Dr. Sax says there are more women enrolled in college today than men, he says fewer women end up pursuing degrees in fields such as engineering, computer science and technology. Reconsidering expectations based on gender differences may be beneficial to helping young boys—and girls—gain the drive and motivation they need to succeed, Dr. Sax says. By offering single-sex classrooms early on, many lagging students are able to improve their performance. "The boys can be boys, the girls can be girls," he says. "It's a win-win situation."

Governor Mike Pence joins representatives from Castlight Health, Indiana University, Cummins, Anthem and the Indiana State Personnel Department to discuss and sign up for Castlight. [Photo provided]
This morning, Indiana Governor Mike Pence launched a new healthcare transparency tool, Castlight Health. "Indiana is leading the charge in providing tools to state employees to educate them about being informed healthcare consumers," said Governor Pence. "Whether the focus is cost or quality, our employees are now more empowered than ever to save money and provide for their families' medical needs by using Castlight."
Castlight Health is a searchable database that enables self-insured employers and their employees to take control of health care costs and improve care. It provides cost estimates and quality ratings for doctors and procedures, while also educating employees about compliance for chronic health care conditions.
"Both businesses and governmental bodies continue to be stifled by the high cost of medical care in the United States," said Giovanni Colella, M.D., co-founder and CEO, Castlight Health. "As the first state to introduce health care transparency into its workforce, the State of Indiana is taking an important leap forward by empowering employees with the information they need to make more informed, cost-effective health care decisions. Indiana was an early pioneer in the transparency movement and we believe their success will become the model for entities committed to improving health care outcomes, while better controlling costs."
This initiative has taken more than a year to complete and involved a coordinated effort from the state, Castlight Health and Anthem, the state's medical insurance provider.
Other large self-insured employers from around the state have already launched or are preparing to launch Castlight Health to their employees. These include Cummins and Indiana University, whose senior leadership joined the Governor this morning to celebrate the launch.

Each ICCES account must be tied to an organization. As an attorney, you will be able to have more than one ICCES account tied to your bar number and housed in different organizations ("multiple accounts"). However, if you choose to maintain multiple ICCES accounts, there are several important caveats to note with cases that you initiated through LexisNexis and which are imported into ICCES ("historical cases").
The courts' case management system does not tie your bar number to an organization. Therefore, with multiple accounts, ICCES will not know by default which account should be tied to which organization in your historical cases. As a result, until you file a document in these historical cases through one of your ICCES accounts, the following limitations will apply in each case:
After you or your staff files into these historical cases using one of your ICCES accounts, ICCES will then be able to tie the historical cases to the proper organization. This will restore your staff's access to protected and suppressed documents; suppressed cases and probate cases; and opposing counsel's ability to e-serve you.
In addition, your email address will be your ICCES user ID. Your email address must be unique for each account. Therefore, if you wish to maintain different accounts you will need to use different email addresses for each.
3rd Party Filers and their law firms will need to sign a Supplemental User Agreement. 3rd Party Filers will need to scan and e-mail the signed agreement to the ICCES Support Team. A Support Team member will notify each organization when the account creation process has been completed.
The Support Team will provide this Supplemental User Agreement to existing 3rd Party agencies and make it available on the e-filing website soon.
Organizations will be billed monthly and will receive their invoice via e-mail.
On October 1, 2012 ICCES will become available to organizations. An email will automatically be sent out to each user than has been pre-registered. This email will contain a temporary password and a hyperlink to ICCES to activate their accounts.
Yes, ICCES will allow up to 3MB per document with a total of 50MB per filing.
The statutory, e-filing and e-service fees will remain the same. Pricing has been finalized at this time. To view the pricing information, click here.
Pro se users currently e-file into small claims cases only in Adams and Jefferson County. The remaining counties will be added after January 2013 with live dates still to be determined.
COUNTY COURT: Civil suits asking for money damages and FED case types filed pursuant to § 13-40-101 et. seq.
DISTRICT COURT: General jurisdiction civil, domestic relations, probate and water cases.
COURT OF APPEALS: All case classes and types.
SUPREME COURT: All case classes and types.
When an attorney leaves an organization, both the attorney and the organization will retain access to the case until the attorney or the organization takes one of the actions below to transfer ownership.
The transferring attorney keeps the case: The attorney will receive a new ICCES account in the new organization and should file a "Notice of Change of Address – Attorney" under this new account. This filing will transfer the case to the new organization.
The current organization keeps the case: The organization should file a "Substitution of Counsel". This filing will keep the case at the existing organization and update counsel of record.
Neither the transferring attorney nor the existing organization will continue representation in: The attorney should file a "Notice of Withdrawal" or "Motion to Withdraw". This will remove case access from the attorney and the organization.
Accepted payment types will be automated clearing house (ACH)/e-check, physical check and credit card. Paying your invoice by credit card will include an additional 3.0% fee. To view the fees that are associated with using ICCES, please review the pricing model.
ICCES will have four levels of document security available: public, suppressed, protected and sealed. The security level currently assigned to documents in LexisNexis will be converted over to the levels outlined below.
Statutory fees will not be assessed on filings until they are accepted by the court, and therefore will not be charged for rejected filings.
E-service, e-mail and mail fees will be assessed when the filing is submitted to the court and are non-refundable. Each rejected filing will be accompanied by a reason for rejection. ICCES will also allow rejected documents to automatically be included in a new filing that can be corrected and re-submitted to the court. However, e-service, e-mail and mail fees would be assessed again for a re-submission.
Yes, batch filing will be available and supported in ICCES. For additional information please email firstname.lastname@example.com
All cases will be available in ICCES. The PDF versions of all documents filed into the court through LexisNexis File & Serve will be available after the implementation schedule has completed. We are still working on the transition plan for "Serve only" documents.
Denver County Court cases will not be included in ICCES on 1/1/2013 and organizations will continue to file & serve through LexisNexis. Denver District and Probate Court cases will be e-filed through ICCES.
ICCES-live districts will require that all e-filings be made through ICCES once they have gone live per the implementation schedule. Organizations will not be able to use LexisNexis File & Serve in that district once that district begins is live in ICCES. Non-live districts will still require that all e-filings be made through LexisNexis File & Serve. Organizations must use ICCES in all available Colorado judicial districts once they are live. Click on implementation schedule to view the timeline.
Minute orders will not be available on 1/1/2013, but is planned to be included in a future release.
The courts will be able to reject filings, but the court clerk will be required to select at least one of the fifteen reasons for rejection listed in CJD 11-01.
State law protects a juror's job. Section 13-71-134, C.R.S. says, "An employer shall not threaten, coerce, or discharge an employee for reporting for juror service as summoned."
Military members are not exempt from jury duty in Colorado. If you are living in the County you are summoned for, you must report for Jury Service. Colorado does not consider your home of record or residence for jury duty purposes; instead, the County in which you are living controls.
By Colorado Revised Statues, Title 13, Article 71 Colorado Uniform Jury Selection and Service Act, §13-71-105 (3), you are eligible to be a trial juror, but you are not eligible to be a grand juror. However, a felony conviction may be a factor the parties consider in determining whether to keep a person on the jury.
View some coping tips to decompress after jury duty.
Jurors who are temporarily out of the county or state. (This may include Students, Military Personnel, and Retired Persons). If the juror will be out of the county on their appearance date but will be returning within the next 6 months, they should be postponed to a time when they are back in the county. Students who live in the county while attending school, but still maintain a permanent address in another county or state may apply for a postponement to a later date when they do not have class. Because students are spending more than 50% of their time in the town where they attend school, they should not change their service back to their "home" county or be disqualified Non-Residents. If a person maintains a residence outside the county with no intention of returning to the county at any time during the succeeding twelve months than they should be disqualified as non-residents and not postponed.
Each year Colorado is required to create a new jury wheel. A list of names is received from voter registration, Department of Motor Vehicles and Department of Revenue. In order to be compliant with USPS standards, each summons is run through a process to check for the most recent address available and that address placed on the summons. You just need to contact the court that issued the jury summons and let them know your current address.
To file a complaint against a judge, contact the Judicial Discipline Commission (303-866-6434 in Denver).

Squamish director Patricia Heintzman will sit as Squamish-Lillooet Regional District board chair in 2013 after she was acclaimed to the position at the start of Monday's (Dec. 17) monthly meeting in Pemberton.
Heintzman was nominated by outgoing chair Susie Gimse. The Area C director had served in the position for the past two years.
Heintzman thanked the board while accepting the position.
"That's a lovely vote of confidence and I'm looking forward to 2013," said Heintzman, who also spurred a round of applause after thanking Gimse for her efforts as chair. "She's guided the ship through some challenging times, done it with aplomb… and has been extremely valuable to the regional district."
Whistler director Jack Crompton will serve as vice-chair for the next year, having been elected to the position on Monday. Crompton defeated Electoral Area A director Debbie Demare in a secret-ballot vote that Heintzman said was close.

Celiac Triggers
For more about celiac disease, contact these resources.
Celiac Disease, By Accident
Can this genetic condition be triggered by trauma?
In July 2007, Emily Eland and her two best friends, Jack and Carli, took two jet-skis out on the Columbia River to watch the sunset. As Emily, then 15, sped ahead on her jet-ski, Jack and Carli followed closely behind on theirs. When she slowed to a stop, having found a great spot to view the dipping sun, Jack failed to see her. What happened next would change Emily's life.
"I was t-boned by their jet-ski going 30 mph," she reports matter-of-factly.
Jack and Carli escaped serious injury but the impact launched Emily off her jet-ski. She landed 30 feet away—her femur severed and left leg hanging on by a strip of hamstring. She was life-flighted to the trauma center in Portland, where over the next 14 days, she underwent four surgeries to repair her badly broken femur and reconstruct torn muscles. A titanium rod was inserted inside her femur, through her bone marrow, with screws placed at her hip and knee. Because the trauma was so extensive, doctors had to repeatedly re-enter her wound to surgically remove dead tissue.
After two and a half weeks, Emily was released from the hospital, weak but excited to go home. Just two days later, however, a blood clot in her calf forced her back in the hospital. The clot took three months to dissipate. In the ensuing months, Emily underwent three hours of grueling physical therapy almost every day. She was determined to start her first day of her junior year of high school on her own two feet, not on crutches. Miraculously, she did it.
A Setback
About three months after the accident, Emily began suffering from terrible stomachaches.
"They seemed to start around 6:00 o'clock every night," says Emily's mom, Sheila Fitzgerald of Bend, Oregon. The pain was so intense that Emily struggled to eat dinner most nights, wanting instead just to go to bed.
"I was so tired and my stomach hurt so much I had to lie down all the time. I missed a lot of school that fall," says Emily.
Her family doctor examined Emily and suggested, among other possibilities, that an allergy flare up could be the culprit. Emily had previously been diagnosed with allergies to grass and hay.
But before long it wasn't just stomachaches and fatigue. Emily's hair was falling out in huge clumps. "I was also losing lots of weight. It was really scary. I had no idea what was happening to me," recalls Emily.
Sheila was concerned, too. "She's a beautiful girl but she was suddenly ghostly looking. She lost all of her coloring almost overnight."
Emily's orthopedic specialist, who had been coordinating most of her recovery and physical therapy, suggested Emily could have post traumatic stress syndrome (PTSD). "While PTSD seemed more likely than an allergy flare, my maternal instincts said that wasn't the problem either," says Sheila.
Emily agreed. "I felt traumatized right after the accident, but I was no longer sad or depressed about it. I was moving on from the accident. Suddenly I was really sick in a weird way. I didn't think that PTSD could explain my symptoms."
Concerned about her granddaughter's declining health, Emily's grandmother sent Sheila a newspaper clipping about celiac disease. The short six-line health brief suggested a link between the condition and severe trauma.
For the first time since the mysterious symptoms started, Sheila thought they were on to something. Armed with the article, Sheila took Emily to their family doctor the following Monday morning to be tested for celiac disease. He initially balked at the request, saying he didn't think it could be celiac disease. But Sheila was insistent and the doctor eventually agreed to run a celiac panel.
A week later, Sheila got a phone call on a Sunday evening. It was Emily's doctor. "He was in disbelief about the test results," remembers Sheila. "The numbers were off the charts." Later that week, a gastroenterologist performed an endoscopic biopsy and quickly confirmed the diagnosis—Emily had celiac disease.
Within days of starting the gluten-free diet, Emily felt tremendously better. "Before long, my hair got a lot healthier and I didn't look so pale," says Emily. "I finally felt like I was recovering from everything that had happened that summer and fall. The celiac diagnosis was the final part of that whole experience for me."
An Uncertain Link
Although the timing of Emily's accident and her celiac diagnosis point to a connection, the two may not be related.
"It's not clear that trauma actually causes celiac disease," says Peter H.R. Green, MD, director of the Celiac Disease Center at Columbia University. There have been anecdotal reports, such as the newspaper article Emily's grandmother found, but no solid evidence to support an association.
The difficulty is that we don't know precisely when celiac disease starts, Green notes. We may know when symptoms started but that doesn't necessarily mean that's when the disease started.
For many celiacs, symptoms don't kick in until there already is significant intestinal damage. But others may never develop symptoms. In fact, up to two-thirds of celiacs may be asymptomatic, according to Stefano Guandalini, MD, medical director of The University of Chicago Celiac Disease Center. People with symptomatic celiac disease represent just "the tip of the celiac iceberg," he says.
"Asymptomatic celiacs often seek medical treatment for something else," says Carol Shilson, executive director of The University of Chicago Celiac Disease Center. "An accident or other illness tends to bring them to the attention of the medical community. It's at that point that celiac disease may be exposed."
"Trauma may lead to a diagnosis of celiac disease but not to the disease itself," explains Green.
A traumatic accident brought Shilson's own undiagnosed celiac disease to light. In 2003, she was involved in a serious car accident. She was approaching an intersection when someone made a left turn through the intersection, hitting her. Fortunately, neither Shilson nor the other driver was seriously injured but Shilson's car was totaled. In the months following the accident, Shilson began noticing gastrointestinal problems. Trying to pinpoint a cause, she reviewed what had changed in her life recently—the accident stuck out. When she was finally diagnosed with celiac disease several months later, she wondered if the accident had anything to do with it. Shilson asked her doctor if there was any connection. "I was told it was probably a coincidence. Most likely I had celiac much longer than just the few months since the accident."
Although celiac experts have yet to support a link between trauma and celiac onset, Stefano Guandalini won't rule it out entirely. "Trauma can cause major stress to the body. That stress could be a relevant piece somewhere on the pathway to developing celiac disease or celiac symptoms," he says. "There's still a lot to learn about this disease."
Finding Triggers
As with all autoimmune diseases, celiac disease is thought to involve a complex interaction of genetic and environmental (or outside) factors. So far, two genetic markers, HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8, have been implicated in the condition. The key environmental factor, gluten, has also been identified. But it appears there's more to celiac disease than gluten and genes. The two genetic markers are relatively common in the general population and gluten is ubiquitous in today's diet, yet just 1 percent of Americans have the condition. As researchers continue to look for other genes, they also hope to pinpoint additional factors important to disease onset.
One such factor may be infection. Over the years, infections have been studied in connection with the onset of a variety of autoimmune conditions, including Type 1 diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis. When a report in the medical literature noted the symptomatic onset of celiac disease following a confirmed case of Campylobacter jejuni enteritis (traveler's diarrhea), it was among the first to suggest that an environmental factor other than gluten—in this case, an infection—could be important to the onset of symptomatic celiac disease.
Recently, a large study of children with the genetic markers for celiac disease linked repeated rotavirus infections, one of the most common causes of diarrhea in children, with an increased risk of developing celiac disease later in life.
Just how an infection might precipitate celiac disease or celiac symptoms is unclear, however. One theory is that repeated infections chronically stimulate the immune system, which may, in turn, trigger an autoimmune reaction in genetically susceptible people.
Others hypothesize that a mechanism known as molecular mimicry is to blame. Here, a foreign protein, such as an infectious bacteria or virus, tricks the body into attacking its own cells that have similar enough characteristics to the bacteria or virus. Molecular mimicry has been suggested in connection with the onset of multiple sclerosis, another autoimmune condition.
Still others posit that infections—in particular gastrointestinal ones—may alter intestinal permeability, allowing gluten proteins to slip past the protective intestinal barriers and mingle with the immune system.
A serious gastrointestinal infection when Shilson was in the third grade may have set off her celiac disease, some 20 years prior to her car accident and diagnosis. "When my doctor and I looked back at my medical records and various symptoms over the years, he suspected that early infection could have been the start of celiac disease for me," Shilson says.
Altered intestinal permeability is a leading explanation behind another factor that may be involved in the onset of celiac disease—abdominal surgery.
There is evidence that abdominal surgery can cause major changes in intestinal permeability, says Guandalini. A sudden increase in permeability could be a trigger for celiac disease in genetically predisposed individuals. One study reported the onset of symptomatic celiac disease following upper digestive tract surgery in a small sample of adult patients.
Although Emily had four surgeries following her accident, none were abdominal surgeries, says her mom. They were all on her left leg.
Yet another important factor may be pregnancy. Guandalini says pregnancy has been reported in connection with the onset of symptomatic celiac disease. It's thought that the demands of nourishing a growing fetus, in combination with hormonal and other immune system changes, may stress the body and, in genetically predisposed women, activate symptoms.
With each of the potential environmental factors—infection, surgery and pregnancy—major stress to the body and immune system is a common theme.
Patients point to stress as well. In 2002, more than 2,600 adults with biopsy-proven celiac disease completed a questionnaire (the Canadian Celiac Survey), which included questions on possible triggers that occurred within six months prior to the onset of their clinical symptoms. More than 23 percent of respondents identified severe stress. (The specific nature of the stress, such as trauma, was not described.) Nine percent reported a severe gastrointestinal infection, 8 percent had a pregnancy and 7 percent had major surgery.
Researchers at a number of institutions, including The University of Chicago Celiac Disease Center, The Celiac Disease Center at Columbia University, The Mayo Clinic, and Stanford University, are studying what turns on celiac disease in genetically predisposed individuals.
Recently, a team at The University of Chicago Celiac Disease Center developed the world's first mouse model of celiac disease. This gives researchers a better tool to study possible triggers. It's also hoped that the model will unlock the key to a vaccine and perhaps even a cure to the disease, Shilson says. The Center has undertaken a $2 million campaign to fund the research.
Living Fully
Even if the jet-ski accident didn't directly cause Emily's celiac disease, the two events will always be linked for her and her mother.
"The accident was so traumatic that I thought it would permanently change her and affect the rest of her life," says Sheila. "While her friends were windsurfing or horseback riding competitively all over the state, Emily was learning how to use her leg again. Then she had to cut gluten out of her diet. But she never complained. She just moved on. I'm very proud of her."
Emily's immediate family members have since been checked for celiac disease—all tested negative.
Now three years after the accident, Emily is thriving. Today, she's an active freshman at Oregon State University where she lives in a dorm, eats in the dining hall and keeps a well-stocked, gluten-free mini-fridge in her room as back-up.
Although living with celiac disease at college is an inconvenience—Emily would love to eat pizza with friends in the dining hall or at the sorority she recently joined—it's not so bad, she says. She's grateful to be feeling so healthy these days. Plus, she's doing well academically and just declared business as her major. When asked if she feels any limitations in her life, she struggles to think of any. "Maybe running" she says, after
pondering hard. "I can't run more than a block or two without pain, but I manage to stay fit with plenty of other fun activities, including horseback riding."
"Not much stops her," says Sheila. "The accident showed that—and celiac disease proved it."

I think that antibiotics, especially strong ones like Emily probably had after her surgeries, cause intestinal dysbiosis. I believe that it is the dysbiosis that is part of what is contributing to so many food allergies and gluten allergies. I have read articles that suggest that candida albicans can overgrow in the gut due to antibiotics and that wheat gluten is seen by the immune system as similar organisms, therefore causing the body to attack the protein the way it would attack the yeast infection.
I would love to read articles in your magazine about how antibiotics may be linked to digestive disorders. This explanation would make sense of why Emily developed a severe food allergy after her traumatic hospital stay. It also makes sense that emotional trauma causes digestive disorders. Many strong emotions can cause the stomach to flip-flop or have butterflies, and severe trauma must really magnify that. Thanks for such a thought provoking article.

I was diagnosed celiac at the age of 67 after three back surgeries over 13 months. The first was to fuse the lower lumbar spine due to spinal stenosis. During or shortly after that surgery I was infected with streptoccis aureius which lasted ten months until the hardware was removed from my spine in an emergency situation. Different antibiotics and a pic line did not kill the infection. Because the fusion was a failure, and because of lack of surgical time available in the OR, I had to wait three months to have my back refused with new hardware. Again, I got the same infection and felt that I would die from the expensive and strong antibiotic I endured for 5 more months. However, it did put the infection into remission and after six years I have not had a recurrance.
I believed it was the antibiotics that were causing the severe abdominal pain and diarrhea that started during recovery after my third surgery. I also suffered a severe depression while still hospitalized during recovery from that surgery. I signed myself out of hospital into a psych ward at a different hospital. I also began seeing a different infectious disease physician complaining about the antibiotics causing my gut problems and weight loss. It didn't take him long to suggest I might have celiac disease. I thank him for saving my life. The biopsy came back positive for celiac.
Since then I have been on a long road for five years back to semi recovery. Going gluten free helped kill most of my abdominal problems. At times it flares up and I guess I inadvertently got into some gluten. The surgeries themselves have created more difficulties by way of neuromuscular problems that are onging.
These reports by other suffering souls confirm my belief that the trauma of the surgeries and perhaps all the antibiotics did trigger my celiac disease. No one on either side of my family is celiac and the children and grandchildren are symptom free.
Thank you for printing the stories of others.

Good article. When I look back, I see a few things: heredity (northern Europe lineage), small stature/malnourished) always underweight, through age 50;Never had much interest in food. Eat to live attitude always. Appendectomy at age 9. (Lost reservoir for good gut bacteria.) Lots of stomaches as a child--usually after breakfast (cereal was always the entree). Cream of Wheat made me vomit at school one day in the fourth grade. Appendectomy might have been the trigger. Always despised bread, pasta, pastries, and the like. Sensitive stomach to many foods; especially gassy or greasy ones. Hair loss began when I took on a new business and worked hard 60-80 hours/week; adrenal fatigue; hormones; ate a burrito that put me in the hospital with gastritis. A month later, I saw a news show that spotlighted Celiac Disease. I gathered the info form the website referred to viewers, checked off symptoms and took the list to my doctor. I was put on a gluten free diet immediately. No insurance--no blood test at that time. Done 6 months later. Came back positive (only because I didn't understand what was gluten free and what wasn't). Been five years now. Rarely have gas, but not fully compliant with diet, still. Feel fatigue. Anxiety/depression issues related to Celiac (especially when I neglect food intake.) Aches and pains. But rarely stomach or intestinal discomfort. I was in denial for probably 2-3 years before I started taking the diet more seriously. I could still use a dietician to help out. Actually a personal shopper! and a cook! Even someone who has walked this path ahead of me and has it managed well. Trauma: appendectomy as a child and major stress 40 years later!

I feel compelled to comment after reading 2 others about shingles. I had shingles in college, at the age of 19. It was shortly after that I began having digestive troubles which were diagnosed as celiac disease 22 years later.

I think the stress i was under as I prepared to retire after being in the work force for 40 years is what started my Celiac. It took a year to diagnose but now I am completely gluten free and fill much better. I still don't have alot of stamina but some of it may be my age. Lynda in Texas

My symptoms did not appear until I came home from a 4 month stay in India with a protozoan infection in my intestines at age 28. The infection was cleared out but since that time, I have had bloating and all sorts of other symptoms if I eat gluten. I am now 64 and on a gluten-free diet, feeling great. I was on and off the diet for 30 years and every time I went off it, it was harder to recover my good feeling. Finally, I just decided never to have gluten again. Luckily now there are so many nutritious and tasty alternatives that it is easy.

It is very interesting to read all of the comments - Celiac is such a mystery disease, with so many varied symptoms, presenting "causes", etc! My husband for years had been treating varied GI issues, that doctors always attributed to Irritable Bowel Syndrome ~ as an adult, at 52 yrs. of age, he began suffering with an intensely itchy rash, which presented just on his lower buttocks, elbows, and knees ~ with fluid-filled pockets (which we know now to be the dermatitis herpeteformis, specifically attributed to celiac. Our local family doctors monkeyed with diagnosing/treating for almost a year, before we chose on our own to consult with a dermatologist, who recognized the rash at first glimpse! Not realizing they were related symptoms, he had also experienced almost total hearing loss in one ear, as well as a deep bone/joint pain that drs. felt was arthritic in nature. Now, after 4 years of being gluten-free, ALL symptoms are gone, and he's feeling the best he ever has! Since his diagnosis, our 28 yr. old daughter, and her 2 yr. old son have also been diagnosed with celiac disease. Too bad some people have to get so severely affected before it is finally successfully diagnosed, and they can experience a relief of their misery! I admire my family's attitude - my husband is just so glad to feel better, and thankful the disease is so treatable. He never complains. I do alot of baking, and have found lots of ways to create tasty food that most would never guess is gluten free. Good luck to all of you who are struggling with not feeling well ~ life is tough enough without having to go through it feeling rotten! ☺

My oh my, where do I begin. This article has been a light bulb moment for me. I am brought to tears of the relivation I have had in reading this article. I have suffered with diffrent "medically unexpained ailments" my entire adult life. Starting at age 30. I am now 51. My sysmptoms started as Chronic fatigue syndrom,which lasted a couple of years. Followed by Panic attacks and anxiety. Was told that I was low in Estrogen, so had Estrogen pellets inplanted, which was overdosed and rather than lasting 3 months, they lasted 3 years! Can't remove surgically inplanted pelllets, once they have been inserted. This overdose of Estrogen, caused my hormonal system to shut down, which created a multitude of problems to include infertitility. Prior to my first symptom of Chronic Fatigue, I came down with an intensetinal infection from a CanCun Mexico trip. And suffered for one year before finally getting a biopsy to confirm infestation of the Helicobactor Pyrolli bacteria I contracted while in mexico. Was given a two week round of very strong Antibiotics to kill the bacteria, but was told that this type of bacteria is tough to kill. Shortly after this episode, I came down with severe joint pains, and dicovered that I had leaky gut syndrome. Healed my gut with strong Pro-biotics and still taking them proactivily. Wanting to have at least one child in my life time, I decided to go thru invitro treatments in attempts to get pregnant at age 40. After 6 long years of very high does of fertility drugs, I finally concieved. After managing a very high risk pregnancy, for seven months to include gestational diabetes, and gestational high blood pressure, I ended up in the emergency room with a six week early emergency c-section to a 3 lb. baby girl. Doctors could not identify why she was under durress and why she was losing oxygen, but Thank God I listened to my Motherly instincts and went to the hospital to my "high risk" Dr. to investigate why I was notcing lack of fetal movement for three days prior to her delivery. Anyway, abdominal surgery, it was indeed. About one year after delivering my baby, I started having severe gastrointestinal distress, to include chronich severe diahrea, as well as severe joint pain. (Fibromyalgia diagnosis) I was pretty much home bound for several years, until one day when I was researching food allergies on my daughter's behalf .(She has life threastening food allergies to Nuts, Eggs, shell fish and pennicillin). I stumbled accross a Dr. that offered to let me take his online Endrocrinolgy class (Normally only offered to other Dr.s). During my studies, I discovered that my symptoms were likely from Gluten inolterance at the very least, or full blown Celiacs at the worst. After running some medical test, it was confirmed. I have Celiac's. FINALLY, I had a name to this monster I was living with. I immedialty started following a 100% Gluten free diet and 8 years later, am feeling so much better. My ADD has improved, and my brain fog has gone away completely, as well as very little joint pain, and no more diahrea! Now, if they could just come up with a cure I would be one happy camper!

My gluten issues began exactly 1 month to the day after having my last period and entering menopause. Prior to that time I had no symptoms but woke up that particular day with every one ever mentioned in any article. It has taken almost 3 years of research to finally put all the pieces together. When I stick to being gluten free I am about 70% symptom free and can at least enjoy life again.

I have wondered if I now am gluten sensitive because of having had amoebas in Mexico in 1996. I haven't been tested for Celiac, but a doctor advised me to stop eating gluten, which I did for three months, and I was astonished at how much better I was and felt. Now I don't think I can be tested, since I've avoided gluten for over 5 years.

I believe my trigger was in the form of hormone overdose. I was prescribed Prempro and the estrogen patch for almost 2 yrs. Once I consulted a new OB/GYN in town, he was visably upset. Following a DNC, then a hysterectomy, I came down with autoimmune thyroid disease, psoriasis all over my hands, brain fog, and years of diarrhea. In 9 years no doctor ever connected the dots. I was prescribed anti-depressants which caused a 50 lb. weight gain. I was praying for help. That "Voice" that is in ones mind spoke to me one morning and said, "It's gluten." Since I'd never heard of gluten, I can only attribute it to God. After a Google search, I found my problem. I've been gluten free for almost 4 years, and I am in the best of health at age 67.

I wonder if antibiotics which kill gut flora also, have an adverse effect on the gut permeability.

Much truth to this article. I also developed symptoms after a case of the shingles at the young age of 51. It was almost 3 months exactly. Fortunately my birth daughter has Celiac so my diagnosis was quick.Thanks for the article.

Great Article! Sounds like there is a wealth of evidence that celiac symptoms tend to be brought on by a trigger. I began having celiac symptoms during my first pregnancy. It was 12 years later and four babies later before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. All of my babies suffered growth retardation due to the malabsorption. My children now range from age 17 to 22, and three of them show signs of latent celiac disease.

That is very interesting; I've never heard of celiac happening after a traumatic event. We still have a lot to learn about the disease. That's awesome that she was diagnosed so quickly. On a personal note, I believe that I developed gluten sensitivity after a bad reaction to penicillin. I'm wondering if Emily had an adverse reaction to something that was given to her during her hospital stay, and that in turn caused the celiac? I guess the bottom line is that mercifully she was diagnosed and is living a much healthier, happier life.

3 months, the timing is spot on. A few years ago, I moved to a new city with my family and let's just say I wasn't happy about it. The stress of moving and leaving my friends was horrible. I started getting panic attacks every day that summer. After about 3 months, I had to start my new school and that was when I began getting the stomachaches. They would come during class, after, at night--whenever they wanted and of varying degrees of pain. I thought I was allergic to my new school! I didn't tell anyone because I thought it was more psychosomatic pain, and I just put up with it for 3 years. Finally, I told my mom and my doctor did some tests. I didn't even know what Celiac Disease was, but I had it. No one else in my family has been diagnosed. I wonder if my mom has it, and it's dormant like it was in me? I think I triggered it with the stress.

Yes, I agree about trauma. I started having intense digestive problems while enduring several months of intense stress and psychological trauma due to cultural differences and personal hearing loss agrivating the situation in which I was living and working. These digestive problems continued until I was diagnosed 4 years later with celiac disease. (By a naturopath) When I got off gluten I was fine. I had read that stress was a factor in causing the gene to be triggered. Thanks everyone for contributing your information. Marilyn in Alabama

I did get very sick for 2 days while on a trip to Morocco 2 years ago and then was diagnosed with Celiac a year ago, but couldn't imagine that I lived for 53 years without knowing. Now after reading this article, I guess it's not so unusual. Thank you for writing this and enlightening us.

I've always felt my Celiac symptoms started 3 months after I had Shingles - Fortunately for me I only suffered for 3 months. After the biopsy I started healing as well. I too miss pizza with friends, but having my health back is so worth it.

I do truly believe that celiac can be trigger by trauma or a stressor in your life. I was diagnosed with celiac disease after a very stressful event in my life. I had been having trouble a few years prior but had a biopsy which was negative. This was a great article. Thank you so much. Dawn, Louisiana

Details on MAC-Like League |
Colleges - Men's DI College |
The conference forming along the lines of the NCAA's Mid-American Conference (MAC) is still in formation, but we know eight teams who will compete in the DI-AA league this season. Ball State, Bowling Green, Central Michigan, Dayton, Miami (OH), Northern Illinois, Ohio and Western Michigan are in. All of those teams, except Dayton, come from schools that traditionally play in the MAC. "We only had six teams initially, so we asked if Dayton wanted to join us to fit the USA Rugby requirement," said Bowling Green's Roger Mazzarella, who is commissioning the new league. "After we started doing the paperwork, Northern Illinois decided to come on down and join, so that made it eight. We're certainly not going to kick Dayton out, but the sentiment is to keep MAC only." That sentiment will be put to the test this week, as the current members of the new league consider adding two non-MAC schools – Cincinnati and Wheeling Jesuit. Cincinnati applied for an exemption to stay in DII but was denied. The Bearcats are wrestling with whether or not they want to play in DII without hope of postseason play or to move to DI-AA. Wheeling Jesuit was denied acceptance into the Keystone Conference, and is hoping to join the MAC-like league. The member teams will vote on Cincinnati and Wheeling Jesuit this week. Buffalo was invited to join the new conference, as its varsity sports compete in the MAC, but they had already committed to the Empire Conference in April and decided to stay in the Empire for the upcoming season. Kent State, formerly a DIII team, has been allowed to stay in DII this season. They could well join the new MAC-like league in the future. |

Audio clip
Stefan Jacoby
Tennessee landed its first automobile assembly plants in the 1980s, but over the past two decades the Volunteer State has watched the next nine major Southern car plants go to neighboring states, including three assembly plants and an engine plant to Alabama.
Last week's announcement that Volkswagen picked Chattanooga over Huntsville, Ala., for a $1 billion production facility again should secure Tennessee's top automotive position in the region, some say.
But U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., who as governor a generation ago recruited both Nissan and General Motors' Saturn automobile assembly plants, has much grander dreams for Tennessee's automotive industry.
"This decision by Volkswagen, in my opinion, means that Tennessee is on its way within a generation to being the No. 1 state in America in terms of automobile jobs," Sen. Alexander said. "When an assembly plant arrives, the supplier and their jobs are not far behind."
Sen. Alexander said Tennessee "is right in the middle" of the Southeast, where most of the new automobile plants have been built in the past 25 years, and should be able to attract many more.
Gov. Phil Bredesen and his chief economic recruiter said they will continue to recruit auto plants. But the two cautioned against putting too much focus on the typically cyclical industry.
"There comes a point with this industry — I don't think we're there yet, maybe another auto plant we would be — where it becomes too much," Gov. Bredesen said.
The governor pointed to Michigan, the home and headquarters of American auto manufacturers, which has been hit hard by a steady erosion of jobs at General Motors, Ford and Chrysler. Last month, Michigan had the highest jobless rate in the nation at 8.5 percent. By comparison, unemployment in Tennessee averaged 6.5 percent in June, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
"I don't want us to be in a position where Michigan has gotten itself over the years where your whole state economy is dependent on one sector," Gov. Bredesen said.
Long way to go
Tennessee, which ranked No. 4 in car production in 2006, still has a long way to catch up with Michigan, which placed first in both car and truck manufacturing jobs and output. Michigan still produces three times more vehicles than Tennessee and has far more suppliers and automotive design businesses.
"I don't know that Tennessee would ever bypass Michigan, but I think the South probably will over time," said Ed McCallum, an automotive site selection consultant who has written about the Southern migration of America's automobile industry. "It's just easier and cheaper to make cars and trucks in the South."
Earlier this year, Volkswagen moved its North American headquarters from suburban Detroit to Herndon, Va., just outside Washington. Stefan Jacoby, president of Volkswagen of America, said the ongoing problems at the Detroit-based automakers played a role in his decision to relocate the headquarters.
"We originally moved our headquarters to Detroit from New Jersey because we wanted to be one of the Big Three," he said. "But if those competitors are shrinking and restructuring, maybe it's not so good to be near them anymore."
Less than half
Matt Kisber, commissioner of Tennessee's Department of Economic and Community Development, said the Bredesen administration's strategy is to maintain less than half of the manufacturing work force concentrated in the automotive industry "to assure that we have a balanced economy."
"We don't want to become too heavily dependent on any one sector," he said.
Currently, 31 percent of state manufacturing jobs are in or in some way support the automotive industry, according to state data.
* 127,135: Number of Tennesseans employed in automotive manufacturing jobs
* $6.1 billion: Auto industry's annual payroll in Tennessee
* 954: Number of automotive supply plants in Tennessee
* 31: Percent of manufacturing jobs in Tennessee that are in or support the auto industry
* 500: Net job gains in auto industry in Tennessee in the past year
Source: Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development, Department of Labor and Workforce Development
Gov. Bredesen and Mr. Kisber underscored that they now are working hard to recruit supplier companies for Volkswagen to the Chattanooga area.
"These are good jobs," Gov. Bredesen said of Volkswagen. "They're a mix of white-collar and blue-collar jobs. They will bring a lot of other jobs to the region."
Research opportunities
U.S. Rep. Zach Wamp, R-Tenn., founder of the Tennessee Valley Technology Corridor, said he hopes the South's growing number of automobile plants also will spur more research and engineering facilities in the region for the automotive industry.
"We can parlay this investment (by VW in Chattanooga) into a major next-generation advanced transportation research center on biodiesel in Chattanooga," he said. "Oak Ridge is the center for biofuels research, and we had a summit last summer in Greenville, S.C., of the ICAR (International Center for Automotive Research) partnership with Clemson University. We've been working on this for 12 years."
Gov. Bredesen emphasized that he does not believe Tennessee is anywhere near the saturation point in the auto industry.
"I don't think it would be healthy for the state to have four more auto plants here," he said. "But we don't have four more in the works. One more is fine, and we're going to continue to recruit on that."

Physician Opinions
Having a baby is an exciting time but many parents are confused when having to decide on whether they should have their son circumcised.
Typically the parental decision is primarily based on being similar to the father without taking into consideration what the child (who will later
become a man) might want and the purpose of the foreskin.
1) It protects the glans (head) of the penis keeping the urinary track sterile.
2) The foreskin plays an important part during sexual intimacy, acting as a natural lubricant through its unique "rolling" motion thus providing
women improved sensation and comfort while preventing vaginal dryness and chafing.
3) The foreskin is the most sexually sensitive and pleasurable part of the penis. It's the loss of this highly erogenous tissue that cause many
men circumcised as adults to report a significant loss of sensitivity.
Besides looks many parents often believe that having their son circumcised will make it easier to clean and lower his risk of urinary track
infections. This however is not true as it does not take any more effort to clean a penis with or without a foreskin. Often parents are
misinformed and are told to pull back the skin during bathing, but this can be very painful as the skin is attached to the glans like a finger nail to
a finger and comes apart on its own typically by age 5. Although circumcision may slightly lower the chances of your son from getting a
urinary track infection having your son circumcised does not guarantee he still will not get them. Urinary track infections are very common
among girls and we do not amputate to treat them but instead use antibiotics. Could boys not be treated with antibiotics too?
As parents it is our responsibility to educate ourselves before making such a decision in which the child may later resent our decision as he
was not given the choice.
