After taking nearly a week in choosing a jury, the case against former West Sacramento Police Officer Sergio Alvarez began with opening statements and testimony on Monday.
Mr. Alvarez, who was a West Sacramento police officer, sat as opening statements began. Judge Timothy Fall first read the charges.
A grand jury has indicted and charged Sergio Alvarez with 28 separate counts of Oral Copulation, Rape, and Sexual Penetration against the will, with enhancements in Residential Burglary, Kidnapping, and Duress as a peace officer. Most of the events took place in or around the area of West Capitol Boulevard in West Sacramento. The alleged assaults occurred between October 2011 and September of 2012.
Deputy District Attorney Garrett Hamilton publicly released the names of the victims during his opening statement. He argued, "These people were down and out, hard core dope users,and alcoholics but they are still victims."
The five victims were identified as "down-and-out" women who were a rugged combination of homeless, prostitutes, and drug addicts. Methamphetamine and alcohol contributed to their vulnerability and fear of the police. He told the jury that officer Sergio Alvarez abused his authority and power to control and scare them.
Mr. Hamilton stated that after one of the alleged victims told another officer, during a stop on patrol, about the abuse they began their investigation.
The alleged victim would tell police of a night when she first came in contact with Alvarez.
In DDA Hamilton's opening statement, he carefully dissected the difference in power between Sergio Alvarez and his five victims. He described that the mere presence of a police patrol car, along with an officer's numerous weapons, boast a significant advantage over the normal person. Hamilton stressed that Officer Alvarez abused this power in order to prey upon helpless, homeless women.
One of the victims also had a warrant out for her arrest on drug possession charges which, Hamilton explains, might have enticed Alvarez to target this victim.
Mr. Hamilton continued, stating that Mr. Alvarez allegedly asked his victims if they were willing to offer them sexual favors if they wanted to avoid jail time. Many of his victims were then driven to an isolated area a few minutes from West Capitol/Jefferson Blvd. in West Sacramento.
Two of the victims are best friends. The story was continually picked apart by the DDA to display Mr. Alvarez as a kidnapper and rapist, who abused his powers as a police officer and disregarded the victims' vulnerability and drug abuse history.
Mr. Hamilton's opening statement told the jury that Officer Alvarez's DNA was found in the alley that the victims described were possible locations of the assaults, but the GPS in his patrol car was not operational during the attacks.
One woman said Alvarez stopped her near West Capitol Ave and began questioning her. She told the other officer that Alvarez put her into the back of the cop car while checking her for warrants. The woman said she had a warrant but Officer Alvarez asked her what she could do for him so he would not take her into custody.
She said out of fear she agreed to perform oral copulation, so Officer Alvarez drove her to an alley where the incident took place. Afterward, he let her out and she left the alley.
Mr. Hamilton told jurors it began with her and involved four other women.
Defense attorney in this case J. Toney would argue the incidents were consensual.
The first witness to be called was Lt. Jennifer Gillart. She testified to being the commander at West Sacramento Police Station during the time when Alvarez was on duty.
Mr. Hamilton had her explain the procedure which an officer has to follow when they make a stop. Lt. Gillart says the officer can do a local warrant check and check for a person being under the influence if suspected.
But she stated once they are put in the back seat of the patrol car, they have no way out but by the door being opened from the outside.
She talked about the microphone worn on the lapel of uniformed officers and how once it had been triggered by one of the alleged victims during an encounter with Alvarez. She said that the camcorder can be manually turned on or off, but certain things like excessive speed by an officer or accidents can automatically turn them on.
Garrett Hamilton then began asking about the conversation between her and one of the alleged victims. Gillart stayed that she received a phone call from her. She said the alleged victim wanted to give her information about the investigation into Officer Alvarez but she directed her to Sgt. Lasson to be interviewed.
Gillart was asked if any other officer had used the same patrol car as Alvarez. She said possibly, but no other officer fit the description of Alvarez.
Defense attorney J. Toney asked if the MAV system (a surveillance camera) had always been working in Alvarez's car. Lt. Gillart said she did know it had problems.
Lt. Gillart was asked about a small camera device, like a spycam found in Alvarez's locker. She said it had parts of an encounter with one of the alleged victims.
One of the first alleged victims to testify said she was living in the West Sacramento area during September of 2012. The victim said she lived in an apartment on Maple Street for a while until Child Protective Services took her children away.
She cried as she described her meth addiction during that time in 2012. The victim testified that she became homeless after losing her children and would sleep at friends' houses until ending up in a tent. She said she had no money for shelter or anything else.

We are nearing the trade deadline...and I do not see a rosterbation post anywhere. We now finally have some peace and quiet, to sit down, fantasize about our favorites and rosterbate.
Do we want to fantasize about Zack Greinke? What about Zac Greenkey?
Do we like facial hair? What about when it is wearing a Cubs hat and pitching historically well?
What are we going to do about Bourn and CF?
Do we want to hold on to our Big Mac?
And go! Just don't forget to clean up after yourself.

TEAMS: Washington Nationals, New York Mets, Arizona Diamondbacks
This is just wrong LOL. Photo courtesy of readtheapple.com
Well folks, it's Star Wars night again. Even Jabba the Hutt, er I mean Snooki, will be in attendance. Now I have to go shower because I wrote her into this report.
Hopefully a bit of "Force" can break the Mets out of this horrendous slump that has put them below .500 for the first time this season. However, the Mets have to get through the Nats' top three pitchers during this series, which will be no easy task. Especially when the Mets pitching is starting to crumble. Johan out again does nothing for the team's morale, although there is one bright spot…the fans' wishes are about to come true as Matt Harvey has been called up and will start on Thursday in Arizona when the Mets face the Diamondbacks. But they have to get through these 3 games first.
The Mets welcome in the Washington Nationals for a 3-game series before heading out on a long west coast road trip. First pitch is scheduled for tonight at 7:10 pm EST, and the game can be seen on SNY, heard on WFAN660AM and followed on Twitter @MetsWFAN. @dailystache and @Meriwyn.
Smooooooth. Photo courtesy of readtheapple.com
I must say I'm interested to see the Dickey/Gonzalez rematch. Hopefully it turns out the same way. The man they face tonight, Jordan Zimmermann, has actually seen his ERA DROP over the course of his last 2 starts, where he has not allowed a run in 12 innings.
Chris Young continues to slowly improve, and I'm not going to look a gift horse in the mouth as I personally wasn't expecting much from him coming off surgery. He has been a pleasant surprise thusfar. Now, if we could only get him to pitch past the 5th inning, we would get somewhere.
The Nats have their own share of injuries of well, the most recent being SS Ian Desmond who is out with an oblique tear. I don't see much of an issue for them though with names like Espinosa and Lombardozzi filling in.
Daniel Murphy had himself quite a series with the Dodgers, going 9-11 with 3 runs, 4 doubles, a triple and 3 RBI's. I think it's safe to say he's starting to find his groove again. If he and Ike can keep it up, they will become quite a threat, when you throw David Wright into the mix as well. Speaking of David, he has now reached base safely in 85 of the 91 games he's played in this season (93.4%), which leads the majors.
Mets Lineup
1. R2-DTejada, SS
2. Lando Valdespin (because he's the man), RF
3. Obi-Wright Kenobi, 3B
4. Ike-3PO, 1B
5. Qui-Gon Murph, 2B
6. Jar-Jar Bay, LF
7. Kirk Skywalker, CF
8. Josh Chewie, C
9. Chris Yoda, SP
Nationals Lineup
1. Steve Lombardozzi, 2B
2. Bryce Harper, RF
3. Ryan Zimmerman, 3B
4. Michael Morse, LF
5. Adam LaRoche, 1B
6. Danny Espinosa, SS
7. Roger Bernardina, CF
8. Sandy Leon, C
9. Jordan Zimmermann, SP
Pitching Matchup
NYM: Chris Young (2-4, 4.11 ERA). Two of Young's eight starts this season came against Washington, and the Mets lost both, although Young has pitched well. His last outing was ironically against Zimmermann in DC, where they went toe-to-toe in a 5 inning pitchers duel until Adam LaRoche hit a 2-run homer off Young.
WSH: Jordan Zimmermann (7-6, 2.35 ERA). Zimmermann, is yet another formidable cog in the wheel that is the Nationals' rotation. He has not allowed a run in his last two outings (12 innings).
Stache Keys to the Game(s)
- Find some way to pick themselves up and get out of this funk.
- Starting pitching needs to be stronger now than ever, with this horrendous bullpen and Johan out.
- Make up some ground against the Nats.

A former middle school teacher's assistant was convicted on four counts of sex abuse Monday.
A judge found Jose Moreno of Salem guilty of sexually abusing three young boys, including two students with disabilities Monday.
Court documents reveal that Moreno admitted to the abuse back in October and that he knew what he was doing was wrong, but he told police he did it anyway because he wanted to see what it was like.
The Salem - Keizer Public School District says Moreno had worked as an instructional assistant at Whiteaker Middle School for the last four years, and that he primarily worked with students who have developmental disabilities.
Court documents say the crimes took place between January 2010 and October 2012.
The abuse reportedly happened in one of the restrooms at Whiteaker Middle School and also at Moreno's home in Salem.
Investigators say they learned about the abuse from the Department of Human Services workers.
Moreno's sentencing is scheduled for July 25.

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) President Dana White isn't buying Rory MacDonald's unwillingness to ever fight close friend and training partner, UFC welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre.
The boss of the world's premier mixed martial arts (MMA) organization has been through this situation multiple times before, and there have been instances where teammates are down to face each other, and others where they refuse to consider it.
When it comes to the Tri-Star teammates, though, White feels the two Canadian's would step in the cage against one another, despite "Ares" explicitly stating otherwise.
"I don't want to keep going against what the kid says publicly," White told Ariel Helwani in a FUEL TV interview on Friday (July 26, 2013). "But anybody who really believes -- I'm not going to say what he and I talk about privately, but do you really believe this kid doesn't want a shot at the title? Of course he does."
So why would MacDonald deny any interest of fighting "Rush" and even hint at a move to middleweight in order to avoid the fight? White says it is because St. Pierre is the veteran fighter at the gym and the 24-year-old MacDonald doesn't want to stir the pot.
"Where he trains and where he lives, he's in GSP's house. He's not going to beat his chest and talk about how he wants a shot at GSP," White explained. "GSP would be insane to think Rory wouldn't want a shot at him. The kid's not here working his way up the ladder to get there and not get his shot at the title. It's ridiculous. But he's not going to beat his chest and scream from the rooftops when he's living in GSP's house."
While there is no telling if the fight will ever actually come to fruition, one thing is certain, and that's if MacDonald doesn't get past Jake Ellenberger in the UFC on FOX 8 co-main event any talk of a fight against St. Pierre, or anyone else holding the belt for that matter, will be irrelevant.

You have to admit, Christmas is a special and important time of the year. It is especially important if you are married and have children. Christmas as a divorced parent can be just as special if not more special if you put forth a little effort.
It's all the memories attached to Christmas that make it the most trying time after a divorce. My first post-divorce Christmas was something I was dreading and found almost impossible to get through emotionally. Christmas as a divorced parent was new territory for me and I had no idea how to navigate my way through all the negative emotions. I had Children though and my feelings had to be put on the back burner. If not put on the back burner, at least dealt with in a way that did not interfere with my children's enjoyment of the season.
Christmas for our family had always been about our immediate family. It was my husband, my children and I and we had built many family traditions through the years. I knew that if I were going to survive I had to do something different that first Christmas after the divorce. I had to do things that would distract our attention away from what we no longer had and build new traditions that were as joyful if not more joyful than the old ones. That is when I came up with my five-step plan of survival:
Make them a part of your Christmas celebration. You've heard the old saying, "the more the merrier." It's true during the first post-divorce Christmas, the more people you are around the better your mood will be. People are a great distraction from the past and if you do have a down moment you will be surrounded by people who love you and can help pull you out of your funk.
The biggest gift you and your spouse can give your children at Christmas and any other time of the year is your survival. If you are able to take lemons and make lemonade it will mean that, no matter the season, your children will get what they need most. Two parents who are able to put their children's need for peace and contentment first. So, here is wishing you Peace on Earth at Christmas and every other day of the year.

Kazuo Hirai Steps Down From Director Duties Of SCE
Posted on Wednesday, June 27 @ 08:11:35 Eastern by Keri_Honea
Sony Computer Entertainment has announced that Kazuo Hirai, the company's most prominent fixture, has stepped down as representative director and chairman of the board of directors. He will remain on the Board, but in a part-time manner.
Be rest assured, though, that Hirai-san will remain as Sony Corporation's president and CEO. It just looks like the likelihood of him announcing the next "Riiiiidge Racerrrr!" at E3 will be fairly slim.

With school, a job or whatever it is bogging you down it's often difficult to flee the coop. So next time you're boarded up in your daily routine take a mental trip with Vacationer. Fronted by vocalist and bassist Kenny Vasoli, Vacationer pours out serenity-inducing tracks that'll help you chill out anywhere at anytime. No travel necessary. Just hit play.
Quiksilver: After watching the video for your new single, "Trip", and listening to the lyrics…I feel like I need a vacation. Were you feeling the same way when you wrote the song?
Kenny Vasoli: Definitely. I was at a transitional point in my love-life at the time when I wrote the lyrics. The girl who I had written all of these songs about ended our relationship suddenly. We had previously planned a trip to spend a week in Amsterdam for New Years Eve, so I was left to go on this vacation by myself. I wrote the words to Trip before I went to commemorate that point in time and also to describe my urge to escape.
The North Shore in winter can be fairly hectic with all the surfers, contests and media flooding the 7 mile stretch of beach. However, watching your video gave it a much more relaxed feel which is a better interpretation of how most people think of surfing in Hawaii. With that said, did you run into any stressful moments while filming or was it as easy going as the video implies?
It was exactly as relaxing as it looks. Dave, who filmed the video, made it so easy for me to enjoy myself the entire time. He's got the classic laid-back surfer vibe. Instead of directing in the traditional sense, he took me to the most beautiful places he knew of on the island and asked me to ride a bike or jump in the water and just enjoy myself. It was impossible for the experience to feel like work, I'm glad it was captured so accurately.
Teaming up Lomography along with the choppy editing really compliments your warm sound. Was this intentional?
Lomography did express interest in us making a music video with their LomoKino camera, and after seeing some sample footage of theirs it was a no-brainer to us. Choppy and analog are two words that I believe describe both our recordings and the developed film from these cameras.
To film the video using a $79.00 35mm movie camera is really inspirational. It proves that you don't need a big crew and fancy equipment to make magic. What inspired you to use such simple means of filming with all the technology available?
As soon as the camera was brought to our attention we were intrigued by the concept of filming an entire music video with it. We always aim to create our art on a minimal budget, so really there was nothing abnormal to us about pulling it off at a low cost.
The cinematography and editing of the video is great. Who was the visionary?
Dave Homcy did the filming and Philippe Grenade edited it together.
How was it working with Dave Homcy?
Love that guy. Beyond being so instinctively talented and creative, he is simply a cool dude. He and his wife, Crystal, were unbelievable gracious to me while I was in town. Even after a long day of filming they would invite me to a BBQ at their friend's place, or to dinner, or to the beach for sunset. All the while they were treating me more like a friendly guest rather than a client. I still keep in touch with them a bit and look forward to seeing them and hopefully working together again in the future. You don't come across people as genuine as them everyday.
As I'm sure you know Dave is well known in the surf world. Were you fans of his work beforehand? If yes, what films stood out to you?
To be honest, outside of a few clips, I wasn't familiar with his work prior to meeting him. He showed me a few pieces of footage in reference before we began and I instantly became a fan.
Okay, need to ask, does anyone in the band surf? If so, where did you get your start and how often do you get in the water these days?
Much like the Beach Boys, no one in the band surfs (to my knowledge.) So is the woes of growing up in a landlocked state. Also like the Beach Boys, I think we are all attracted and inspired by the lure of the surf lifestyle.
What's next for Vacationer?
We are leaving for a US/CA tour in October with the wonderful group Bombay Bicycle Club. Almost immediately after that we have the incredible opportunity to perform at the Iceland Airwaves festival. We'll also be writing our next record during the gaps in our travels.
Any last words/thanks?
Anyone who has invested interest in our music to point, I cannot thank you enough. This is a difficult craft to gain attention with this day and age, and all my expectations have been blown away only a few years in. If you enjoy what we have to offer, please recommend us to other music lovers. I love the idea of staying on this vacation for the remainder of my life.
Thanks Kenny, keep the tunes coming and enjoy the Vacation…

At first glance, it's just lunch between two friends, but listen, and you know it's therapeutic. "We give thanks for great medical treatment and for great prognosis," says Ken Porter as he prays.
Ken Porter was in the band. Betsy Goebel was in drama. They were both in the Monterey High School class of '73. Now, 30 years later, they faced a similar diagnosis three months apart.
Today, Betsy Goebel Jones is a Ph.D. in the Department of Family Medicine at Texas Tech. She was diagnosed first with stage three colon cancer, meaning it had already spread from the colon to one lymph node. "Colon cancer is not something I would have ever guessed. I don't have any family history of that," says Betsy.
When it comes to that list of colon cancer clues, she did have some rectal bleeding. Thinking it was just hemorrhoids, she mentioned it to her doctor during an annual check-up. "We went ahead and scheduled colonoscopy in three or four weeks and I didn't think much about it. Surprise. Surprise. Came back and said there's a growth there and it needs to come out," says Betsy.
Betsy's cancer was the motivation Ken needed to slip away from his photography business and get himself checked. "We get to the very end of the test and then he goes..."hmm". Wasn't expecting to see that. Yeah. That's a bit of a shock," says Ken.
It's not uncommon for tiny growths, or polyps, to grow inside the colon. Usually, they're benign, but they can grow bigger and eventually become cancerous. "I finally looked at it and said are we using the "m" word to describe this tumor. And he said yes we are. M as in malignant? As in malignant," says Ken.
The American Cancer Society suggests that unless you have a family history of colon cancer, screening should begin at age 50. Ken is 49. Betsy is another exception. She is only 48.
Both Ken and Betsy needed surgery to remove the cancer followed by chemotherapy. At least the type of chemo used to fight colon cancer is not the kind that makes your hair fall out. "That was my first question - Do I get to keep my hair?" says Betsy.
While Ken carries a portable chemo pump one week out of every month, Betsy's treatment plan brings her to Southwest Cancer Center where she is tied to a life-line of powerful drugs for four hours every week. Time enough to think about what might have been prevented. "What I had started as something very manageable, if it had been detected early. So early detection is clearly the take home message," says Betsy.
And Ken says he is finally learning that even the most embarrassing symptoms should not be ignored. "I finally said, 'Well, we're kind of having little problems with diarrhea. Well, why didn't you tell us, you know, hello. Hello,'" says Ken.
That brings into focus the ever important doctor/patient relationship. Which in this case takes us back to that high school annual at Monterey in 1973. You see, Andy Shaver was another senior in that class. Dr. Shaver today is the friend and physician who found Ken's cancer. He, too, had a close call with colon cancer eight years ago.
"My polyp was at 41. So I would be in the same place as Ken or Betsy at this age, if not already dead from it," says Dr. Shaver.
NewsChannel 11 will explain that in our final segment of "Colon Cancer Clues" Thursday night.

This summer, Encore Woodland held their 'Win with Woodland' contest in the spirit of barbeque. Participants snapped a picture of their barbeque creations and posted them on Facebook in the hopes that their snapshot would get the most 'likes' by their friends and family. The contest is now over, and we are pleased to announce our first place winner and 2 runner-ups!
In first place comes Kim of Toronto, Ontario, who won the $200.00 M&M Meat Shop gift card with her photo of barbequed chicken.
First runner-up goes to Joan of Scarborough, Ontario, who won a $100.00 M&M Meat Shop gift certificate thanks to her 'mountain of meat' photo.
Second runner-up goes to Jack of Oshawa, Ontario. Jack also won a 100.00 M&M Meat Shop gift certificate for his photo of barbequed rolled turkey.
Congratualtions to the winners and a big thank you to everyone who submitted pictures in the 'Win with Woodland' contest!
Even though the contest is now closed and the summer is coming to an end, there is no reason to think that you'll have to wait a whole year before being able to savour the tastes of barbeque. Encore Woodland products can be used all year long, so you'll never have to wait on summer again!

Eau Claire (WQOW) - Preventing sexual assault and stopping predators seems like a tall task, but an Eau Claire County board member wants to see what the county can do.
The Eau Claire County Sheriff's Department has dealt with close to 70 sexual assault investigations over the past two years. The head of the human services board wants to try and identify offenders and stop kids from falling into abusive situations. One concern is the cycle of violence in which children who are abused grow up to be abusive.
"We're interested in finding a pattern that proves to be successful in making a difference in these individuals' behaviors," says Eau Claire County Board Supervisor Colleen Bates.
The human services board will hold a meeting Monday night to determine how it can study the issue.

Some options are only available if you have an iPod because certain head units are specifically designed to work with those devices. Other options will work with any MP3 player. In order to determine which options are available to you, there are a few things to look for.
If your head unit is specifically designed for use with iPods or other MP3 players, it will typically have a built-in USB cable or jack. Some head units even come with a cable that can plug directly into your iPod.
The next best option is an auxiliary input. Some head units have auxiliary inputs on the back, but those can be inconvenient to reach. If your head unit looks like it has a headphone jack on the front, that's actually an auxiliary line-in jack that you can plug your MP3 player into.
If your head unit doesn't have a USB or line-in connection, you can either use an FM transmitter or a cassette tape adapter. Neither of those methods provide the best audio, but they are viable ways to listen to an MP3 player in your car.

52 reasons the Ravens could win the Super Bowl [Pictures]
It's on. After stunning the Broncos in Denver, the Ravens are headed to New England to take on the Patriots in the AFC Championship game this Sunday. Last Saturday's game was one of the Ravens' greatest victories. It's not hard to imagine them going all the way. In fact, we're counting on it. In honor of Ray Lewis' last post-season, here are 52 reasons the Ravens could win the Super Bowl. -- Sam Sessa and Jordan Bartel

No. 48: Stopping the run( Gene Sweeney Jr., Baltimore Sun photo )
The Ravens defense was a shade of its former self this season when stopping the run -- they ranked 20th, allowing an average of 122.8 rushing yards per game. But last Saturday, they stopped the run when they needed to, allowing Flacco to get the ball again and make that incredible pass to Jacoby Jones.

Eric Marin pulled some numbers from the Elias Sports Bureau and posted this quick break down of Brodeur's wins and shutouts. I think it's pretty neat, so check it out.
Honestly, I don't fault SI for going with Lidstrom over Brodeur. Both won 2 Cups in this decade, both are cornerstones of their respective franchises' success, both have won awards, both are Olympic gold medalists, and both are sure-fire, first-ballot Hall of Fame players when it's all said and done. Martin Brodeur is one of the greatest goaltenders ever. Yet, Lidstrom just commands entire games from the blueline and has won 6 Norris for his efforts - clearly the best defenseman of his generation and he's been doing it for well over a decade. It's mind-boggling how good he is. I love Marty, but there is no shame in finishing behind Nicklas Lidstrom. It really is an honor to be seriously considered. Hat tip to Puck Daddy for this story.
First, it was new head coach Jacques Lemaire. Then, it was Devils legend Martin Brodeur. Now, Lou is putting himself out there to answer your questions. Truth be told, I'm really curious as to what he will answer and how he will phrase it. Lou can be trusted - especially to give some interesting answers. H/T to Gulitti for reporting this along with the dates for training camp. Sept. 9 is not so far away!
The original news article is in Slovak, so here's the same page after a Google translation to English. Big, big hat tip to Jonathan Willis of the Copper and Blue for bringing up this news. It is named to whom the media thinks was the best hockey player from the Czech Republic in this past season. Elias led all Czechs in scoring in the NHL last season, and the NHL currently recognizes him as the best Czech player in the league. A clear slam dunk over, say Jaromir Jagr playing in the KHL. According to the article, it's the first time Elias has ever won the award - breaking a 4 year winning streak by Jagr. Congratulations to Patrik Elias for earning the Golden Stick Award.
Chere reported today that June 18 will be Martin Brodeur in New Jersey. There's a whole Train to Trenton thing that day to promote the event, which you can register here at the Devils' site. But I'm just floored by this recognition. Martin Brodeur is so legendary, he gets a day. Who else in NJ sports history ever got commemorated with a day?
There's not much with the Devils, so I'll pass this along from what I saw at Chere's blog today. Devils legend Ken Daneyko and non-Devils non-legend Ron Duguay will be doing a special Ice Breakers show taping tomorrow evening from 5-7 PM at the NHL Store in Manhattan. The show will air on Sirius and XM at 7 PM - something to listen to while you got a Game 7 on the TV, perhaps. Their special guest host? Sean Avery. But this is what's news: fans in attendance can provide their own questions to the hosts. If you have nothing better to do and you're in the area, maybe you have something to ask of Dano or Avery. I suggest being polite, but I'm not going to expect much.
That's right! Martin Brodeur has been formally honored in a resolution from Congress, submitted by U.S. Rep. Bill Pascrell, Jr. When a Congressman recognizes the accomplishment, it should tell you how big of a deal it is! Congratulations to Marty! Thanks to Caley Gray for bringing this to my attention today. The link should go to the full text of the resolution. Brodeur will be honored in a short pre-game ceremony tomorrow night at the Rock. He will not be starting, according to Gulitti and Chere.
Gulitti got a whole lot of stats and figures out who has been present for Martin Brodeur's wins throughout his career. Patrik Elias is first, Kryzystof Oliwa is in the top 30 (!?), and Sasha Lakovic has been present for more wins than Petr Vrana!
Gulitti's report on today's practice is so big, it has a picture. While it wasn't a full one, Brodeur is ready to go for full practices. A few of those, and he should be back to giving opposing forwards nightmares. Chere has a similar write up, but this bit is about how Brodeur wants to travel with the team to Florida. If he wants to keep practicing, he'll have to travel. I think it makes sense.
As always, link is for the NHL recap. I have three quick thoughts. 1) You don't need a big, high scoring game or a game with fights to have great hockey. This was a up-and-down, intense affair between two teams who have played well. Tonight's game was definitive proof that low scoring games can be and are often exciting. 2) Scott Clemmensen was excellent and he's playing very well. I don't care what he did last season, he is the #1 goalie right now. He has earned that after his performance tonight. 3) Zach Parise got the set-up from Patrik Elias this time in overtime; and it made all the difference. A legit penalty led to a winning goal in OT to cap off a successful road trip. Sweetness.

CEIBS Education Development Foundation
Within this decade, CEIBS seeks to take its place amongst the top 10 business schools in the world. The growing global importance of the Chinese economy will certainly be a positive factor in achieving this goal. Even more important will be the continuous investments made by CEIBS in attracting the best international faculty; in conducting world-class research, and in expanding into other cities, notably our second campus in Beijing which is due for completion by 2008.
Part of the funding and guidance for these initiatives comes from the generous support of our alumni and sponsorship partners.
In 2005, CEIBS became the first business school in mainland China to establish an Education Development Foundation (CEIBS Foundation). The foundation is a registered not-for-profit organisation and is the repository of all gifts to CEIBS through endowment funds, the annual fund, alumni, corporate and institutional sponsorship programmes, as well as capital and special campaigns for the school's advancement.
CEIBS Alumni Giving Programme
The future success of CEIBS is conditional in many ways on the support it receives from alumni. Alumni giving will not only provide the school with the financial resources necessary for investments in faculty, research and facilities, but also will serve as a role model promoting philanthropic acts in China.
CEIBS Corporate Sponsorship Programmes
The CEIBS Foundation is proud to support the development of CEIBS as a leading, global business school that enables select corporate partners to become active members of the CEIBS Corporate Sponsorship Partner Network.
Using the guidance and financial support of our corporate partners, the CEIBS Foundation seeks to ensure continuous investment in the school for short and long-term growth and success. The goals of the Foundation are:
- To attract world-class faculty through CEIBS Chair Endowment Fund
- To innovate world-class research through CEIBS Centres of Research Excellence and CEIBS Research Fund
- To provide an inspiring environment through CEIBS Campus Fund
- To ensure continuous improvement through CEIBS Development Fund
- To attract the world's best students through CEIBS MBA Scholarship Fund
CEIBS Corporate Partners enjoy a close association with the school and special advantages including:
- Priority recruitment access to CEIBS MBA graduates
- Priority access to CEIBS MBA students for group consulting projects
- Invitations to join the CEIBS Corporate Advisory Board
- Sharing CEIBS international marketing platform and visibility
- Priority access to CEIBS faculty for the development of programmes and case studies
- Priority access to CEIBS' world class facilities.
To date, CEIBS has invited more than 50 Western and Chinese organisations to join the CEIBS Sponsor Partner Network. The school is proud of our association with the following leading organisations:

Nothing about this article surprises me!! It been my observation that most education majors tend to be slackers who go to college to get an easy degree so that they can graduate and get an easy job as a unionized slacker in our public school system. The fact that the majority happen to be female to my mind is no coincidence and in this case an intelligence deficit appears to be accompanied by a character deficit. And, judging by the other comments intelligence and character deficits seem to be a problem for many of the readers of this article as well.

News: Waka Flocka Flame Can't Handle The Truth, "My Dog Ain't Pass, I Ain't Accepting That"
Tuesday, May 1, 2012 2:30PM
Atlanta rapper Waka Flocka Flame has continued to speak on the tragic death of close friend Slim Dunkin and why despite known facts, he is unwilling to accept his passing.
Flocka also said he would dedicate his upcoming sophomore album to the late Brick Squad Monopoly member.
"My dog ain't pass. I ain't accepting that," Waka told MTV News after a photo shoot in Brooklyn, New York, last week. "You know that sh-- is gonna carry with me, though, because he's me and I'm him. Together we're Brick Squad, man." Flocka dedicated his upcoming June album Triple F Life: Friends, Fans and Family to Dunkin. "What's behind my Triple F Life wave? The passing of my best friend Dunk. R.I.P. Dunk," he said. "That boy there was special. That boy there was different." (MTV)
The Atlanta rapper recently admitted fighting through his death to get back into music-making.
"What made me put my album out? My best friend [Slim Dunkin] died in December," Flocka said in an interview. "It took me two months after him passing away - not even two months. I didn't get over his death for four months. So it took me the fifth month after my friend lost his life for me to start my new album." (East Village Radio)
A few months ago, BSM member Frenchie spoke to SOHH about Dunkin's death.
"I've always been able to move forward because I feel like the more you think about it, the more you suffer," Frenchie told SOHH referring to Slim. "God works in his own purposes. That's my brother right there. If I keep on stressing myself, I'm not gonna be able to do what my brother wanted us to do. We all go hard. We push ourselves within our Brick Squad family and follow suit. That's what it's all about. ... [Slim's passing] pulled us together. That's family and so of course it hit the home base. We've got to keep working for my boy's legacy and never let him die. We can never let his spirit die. He's no longer here, but he's here in the spirit. The longer we keep it in the air, the longer people are going to know who he is." (SOHH)
In December, Slim's funeral took place in the rapper's Atlanta hometown.
Rapper Gucci Mane attended the lavish funeral for fellow Brick Squad Monopoly rapper Slim Dunkin on Wednesday in Atlanta and RumorFix has the exclusive details. The body of the 24-year-old rapper, who was reportedly murdered over a Jolly Rancher candy, was heralded with trumpets and carried by pallbearers wearing coat and tails with top hats. White flowers that spelled out the word "Squad" were laid on his casket during the services that featured several gospel songs. While Gucci paid his respects to the up and coming rapper, surprisingly Slim's buddy, Waka Flocka Flame, was nowhere in sight. (RumorFix)

These "deftige" waffles are an American use of a traditional "Lüneberger Heide" starch. Not a grass like wheat, gluten free buckwheat, a nutritious seed first grown in China, made its way to Germany several thousand years ago. Because "Buchweizen" grows on unfertile and acidic soils, it found a foothold in the heath of Northern Germany, where they still make cakes out of hearty buckwheat flour.
Serve with Fresh Fruit Sauce or pair these waffles with fruit compote or preserves for a nice start to the day.
Makes 6 to 8 waffles, depending on size of waffle iron.
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
- 2 eggs, separated
- 2 T. agave nectar
- 2 T. oil
- 1 1/2 c. milk
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 3/4 c. buckwheat flour
- 1 1/4 c. brown rice flour
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 3 T. sunflower seeds (optional)
Beat egg whites until stiff. Set aside. Beat egg yolks with agave nectar or similar sweetener (sugar, honey, etc.) until light yellow. Add oil and mix. Beat in milk.
Sift together dry ingredients and combine with milk and egg mixture. Fold in egg whites.
Heat an American or Belgian style waffle iron.
Spread an appropriate amount of batter over the hot waffle iron. Sprinkle one or two teaspoons sunflower seeds over the batter, if desired. Close lid and cook until waffles are done.
Serve the waffles with this No Cook Fruit Sauce or fruit preserves or compote for a hearty breakfast treat.
Tip: Lundberg has brown rice flour and Bob's Red Mill carries buckwheat flour, both of which can usually be found at Vitamin Cottage/Natural Grocers and Whole Foods, among others.

Before making his NYRR Wanamaker Mile debut at last year's Millrose Games, Matthew Centrowitz said that he'd been dreaming of the moment for years.
"I've been wanting to participate in it since high school," he told Ken Goe of The Oregonion. "I can't believe the day is finally here."
Once the big day arrived, the 2011 IAAF World Championships bronze medalist made the most of it. After running comfortably in second for the entire race, "Centro" took the lead with 300 meters remaining to win in 3:53.92, a personal best and a facility record for the New Balance Track and Field Center at the Armory.
On February 16, Centrowitz will return, not only to defend his title but also in an attempt to break Bernard Lagat's Wanamaker Mile record of 3:52.87, set in 2005 on the track in Madison Square Garden.
And that might not be all.
"I've never been this fit this early," said Centrowitz. "It's really exciting for me. I'm definitely going after Bernard Lagat's meet record and, if the race goes really well, I could get Bernard's American record, too (3:49.89). Every year when you plan for the season you always plan for a few special meets you get excited for. Millrose is the one for my indoor season, especially now that it's in the Armory on such a great track. I really look forward to racing in New York in front of my friends and family and repeating as NYRR Wanamaker Mile champion."
New York Road Runners is again sponsoring both the men's and women's miles, the latter featuring high school superstar Mary Cain of Bronxville, NY.
Among Centrowitz's top challengers will be two-time U.S. Olympian Lopez Lomong; Miles Batty, who last year set at NCAA record at this meet in finishing second to Centrowitz in 3:54.54; and Irish Olympian Ciarán O'Lionáird, who won the mile at the 2012 New Balance Indoor Grand Prix in Boston.
Other professional athletes in the hunt will be New Jersey native Robby Andrews, who finished fifth at 1500 meters in the 2012 U.S. Olympic Trials; Ryan Gregson, the Australian record-holder at 1500 meters; Olympic steeplechaser Donn Cabral; Garrett Heath, who represented the U.S. at the 2010 World Indoor Championships; and Jordan McNamara, who won the 2011 Falmouth Mile in a personal best 3:54.89.
Lagat's record isn't the only one with a target on it: Three collegians in the race will be gunning for Batty's NCAA mark. Ryan Hill, of North Carolina State, has an outdoor mile PB of 3:56.78 and finished fifth in the 2012 U.S. Olympic Trials at 5000 meters; Lawi Lalang, of the University of Arizona, is the 2012 NCAA champion at 3000 meters and 5000 meters with an indoor mile PB of 3:55.09; and Chris O'Hare, of the University of Tulsa, the reigning NCAA Indoor champion at the mile, with an indoor PB of 3:56.48. Also in the field is local favorite Mitch Goose, a cross-country All-American from Iona College.
The women's mile will see the 16-year-old Cain take on a field of professionals and top collegians. Cain, who is coached by three-time ING New York City Marathon winner Alberto Salazar, will try to break U.S. junior and high school records for both 1500 meters and the mile—four marks in one race. Earlier this month, Cain ran 9:02.10 for 3000 meters, the fastest time ever run by an American high school girl at that distance. She will compete at two miles on February 2 at the Boston meet.
Cain will face collegiate stars Abbey D'Agostino of Dartmouth University, the NCAA 5000-meter champion who set the Olympic "A" standard in placing fifth at 5000 meters in the U.S. Olympic Trials; Jordan Hasay of the University of Oregon, the 2011 NCAA indoor mile; and 3000-meter champion; Emma Coburn of the University of Colorado, the 2012 U.S. Olympic Trials steeplechase champion.
Among the professional women in the field are Americans Ashley Higginson, Delilah DiCrescenzo, Kate Grace, Sarah Bowman, Emily Infeld, and Renée Tomlin and Canadians Nicole Sifuentes, Hilary Stellingwerff, and Sheila Reid. Reid, a four-time NCAA champion while at Villanova University, is coached by Ireland's Marcus O'Sullivan, a six-time winner of the Wanamaker Mile.
The 106th Millrose Games will be the second stop of USA Track & Field's nationally televised 2013 Indoor USATF Championship Series. The meet will be shown live on ESPN3 and again on ESPN from 8:00–10:00 p.m. on February 17.

Pat Knight goes bezerk on his seniors...
Wow. Just wow.
"When I played, if you acted the way some of these guys did, you got shoved in a locker with a forearm up against your neck and told: 'You don't do that. That's not how we do things at Indiana,' and that's what we need," Knight said while not specifying who did that when he was playing for the Hoosiers under his father.
And that's just part of his rant against the senior members of his Lamar team.
He sounds, and acts so much like his father. Considering his record as a coach, however, he ought to show a little bit more care in criticizing his players. In particular, he should not announce that his seniors are using drugs. And there is absolutely no reason to condone violence.
What we see here is the legacy of Bob Knight.

ABC's Prank News Show Hunts for Secret, Anti-Gay Bigotry in a NJ Diner
ABC's undercover news show, What Would You Do, on Friday continued to search for examples of bigotry across America. Anchor John Quinones narrated a segment featuring two men pretending to be gay military veterans displaying affection in a New Jersey restaurant.
As cameras rolled, Quinones explained the set-up: "They're holding hands, stroking each other's hair and caressing each other's legs...So what will happen if we throw in our actor Vince, posing as an irritated diner, who's had enough of this PDA?"
An actor, "Vince," interrupted the faux soldiers and complained, "Excuse me. We appreciate your service to the country and everything, but you should respect the uniform a little bit more than that."
Many patrons ignored the two, prompting ABC's sting operation to try harder to provoke bigotry. Quinones announced, "Even with that bit of gossip, the other diners don't seem to notice. But then, here comes Vince again."
Later, when some patrons do complain, the host lectured, "In December 2010, an ABC News poll found that 77 percent of Americans are in favor of allowing gays and lesbians to serve openly in the military. But in our diner, there are plenty of people against it."
This program, airing as an edition of Primetime Live, debuted only a month after Quinones took his show to Arizona to find racism related to that state's new immigration law.
It's odd for a news organization to repeatedly air a program which essentially plays out like an episode of Ashton Kutcher's Punk'd. It also doesn't leave ABC much room to criticize conservative sting operations.
A partial transcript of the March 4 segment, which aired at 9pm EST, follows:
JOHN QUINONES: Don't ask, don't tell. That's what gay and lesbian service members were told for 17 years. It was a policy that many Americans felt was unfair and had to go. And in late 2010, Don't Ask, Don't Tell was repealed by President Obama.
PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: This is done.
QUINONES: Though the repeal has yet to take effect, the President's decision ignited a firestorm of controversy.
SENATOR JOHN MCCAIN: We are doing great damage.
QUINONES: So what would you do if you saw this in public?
ACTOR (MALE): I mean, how is it over there?
SECOND ACTOR: Good. I mean, it's rough, you know, but it's getting better.
QUINONES: A gay couple in military uniform becoming affectionate while sharing a meal. We bring our hidden cameras to the Colonial Diner in Lyndhurst, New Jersey. Our two actors in Army fatigues pose as a gay couple reuniting after a long tour of duty. They're holding hands, stroking each other's hair and caressing each other's legs. It's all affection any soldier, gay or straight, isn't supposed to show. So what will happen if we throw in our actor Vince, posing as an irritated diner, who's had enough of this PDA?
VINCE AUGUST (ACTOR): Excuse me. We appreciate your service to the country and everything, but you should respect the uniform a little bit more than that.
FIRST ACTOR (MALE): Excuse me?
QUINONES: Immediately, these two diners are curious about what Vince has to say.
AUGUST:And I understand the whole thing, but respect the uniform.
SECOND ACTOR: Respect? I don't understand what you're saying.
AUGUST: You know, tone it down.
SECOND ACTOR: Tone what down?
AUGUST: The whole thing.
QUINONES: The couple can't seem to believe what they're hearing.
AUGUST: Guys, tone it down, you know.
QUINONES: But our soldier doesn't wanna tone anything down.
SECOND ACTOR: I haven't seen my partner in seven months, and you're telling me that.
CLAIRE DEMETROULES (DINER): I wouldn't worry about it.
EMMANUEL DEMETROULES (DINER): Don't go there. It's inappropriate.
CLAIRE DEMETROULES: Yeah.
AUGUST: I don't think so.
FIRST ACTOR: I think you need to walk away.
QUINONES: Vince doesn't walk away on his own, but he's about to get a little help.
EMMANUEL DEMETROULES: Hey dude, take a hike. Really. No, seriously. I'm gonna ask you to leave. That's being disrespectful.
AUGUST: Okay. Well...
DEMETROULES: All right? I'm gonna ask you to leave.
AUGUST: I think that's wrong.
EMMANUEL DEMETROULES: All right?
AUGUST: I'm allowed to say it.
EMMANUEL DEMETROULES: It's disrespectful.
AUGUST: It's wrong. They should have more respect.
EMMANUEL DEMETROULES: Get out.
QUINONES: Once again, our happy couple starts to get touchy-feely.
FIRST ACTOR: I feel like it's been forever.
SECOND ACTOR: It's been forever, what, seven months now?
FIRST ACTOR: Yeah, feels like seven years.
QUINONES: This man seems to be doing everything he can to ignore what's happening just a bar stool away. So we send in our waitress, also an actor, to see if she can pry into the soldiers' personal lives.
TRACI HOVEL (ACTRESS): So you guys were in the military together? Or-
FIRST ACTOR: Well, we met at Fort Hood.
HOVEL: Oh.
SECOND ACTOR: Basic training. But then, Iraq, Afghanistan.
QUINONES: Even with that bit of gossip, the other diners don't seem to notice. But then, here comes Vince again.
AUGUST: : Guys, not that we don't appreciate the service, 'cause we do, but you should tone it down a little bit.
FIRST ACTOR: What? Tone what down?
AUGUST: The relationship part, you know, you're in uniform, respect the uniform.
QUINONES: As our soldier stands up to Vince face to face, this man looks like he wants to say something.
SECOND ACTOR: So you're telling me that it's okay for me to take a bullet for your rights, but you wanna deny me my rights?
AUGUST: Respect the uniform. That's all I'm saying.
SECOND ACTOR: I am respecting the uniform.
AUGUST: I don't think you are.
QUINONES: And with that, the diner can't bite his tongue any longer.
BILL (VIETNAM WAR VETERAN): Why don't you just keep going?
AUGUST: I don't think their commanding officer...
BILL: Your opinion is your opinion. Keep going, all right.
QUINONES: In December 2010, an ABC News poll found that 77 percent of Americans are in favor of allowing gays and lesbians to serve openly in the military. But in our diner, there are plenty of people against it.
DINER (MALE): I originally thought that the way it was was okay.
QUINONES: Keep it quiet.
DINER (MALE): Keep it quiet. Just for yourself. Bringing it out like this, to me, I take, maybe I'm from the old school, but it's nice the way it was.

"Vince" should have mentioned to them would be to obey the Uniformed Code of Military Justice. There are standing orders in all branches about PDA in all situations. Other than the immediate greeting of returning deployers, hugging and kissing in uniform is unauthorized.
I have no idea about today, but when I was in the Army, sitting down to eat in a diner while wearing fatigues was also unauthorized. Was the purpose of this show to demonstrate that gay military folks have no discipline or feel no duty to obey orders off post? That would be what I'd take away from it. That is, if I could stomach watching anything on ABC.

While I can't speak for him, I believe he may have meant something along these lines- in 21 years in the Marines I have never worn my utility uniform to an unauthorized establishment (like a diner) off of the base where I was stationed, regardless of location. Never. Not once. I drive back and forth to my home in that uniform and wear one that is authoirized if I have to stop out in town. Two morons like these guys in that uniform would have been grabbed by the throat and reprimanded by the first soldier or Marine that saw them if they were in a military town.

Submitted by JeffWeimer on Sat, 03/12/2011 - 10:09am.It's prejudicial to good order and discipline, no matter the gender of the participants. It's also unprofessional and casts a bad light on the Service. Everyone in the military is taught that. their fellow actor buddy had it unwittingly exactly right - respect the uniform. I've had to pull apart couples - mixed gender - who were merely holding hands in uniform, in my old life as a Navy Senior Chief. I'll do it again as a retiree if I see it, gay or straight. If these actors were really servicemembers, they wouldn't have done that in public. If Quinones and his producers were ever in the military (or actually did their homework), they would have known to not create this situation to "prove" people don't like gays in the military. It does no such thing, it only exposes their own ignorance of military rules.

I was in a bar/restaurant not too long ago during dinner rush (a lot of old couples,grandchildren, that kind of thing.) two VERY unattractive lesbians were standing in the middle of the room making out and groping each other. They were nicely asked to take it elsewhere and they stopped, cannot say whether they did it to start something or maybe they just found each other that damn irresistible. But, basically, their sexual preference was not the issue and they knew it, some places are not the place for that kind of PDA, you want to grope each other, don't do it in a restaurant, there are many other choices.

The old veteran coming to defend the gay couple making out in public, against the girl was definitely a plant. I watched it and immediately thought the guy that intervened was acting. Hisresponses to Quinones' questions just seemed too scripted after the "confrontation."
This show is just a silly attempt to indoctrinate bored people on Friday nights. I caught this show last week and I thought there was something fishy about it. I think they may not be completely forthcoming about which confrontations involve fully casted actors and which involve random passersby.

that WAS the reg for the longest time. That may have changed but you might want to know what you're writing about before you wax sarcastic. I've been out for 19 years and it was only eased to allow travel to and from duty post in work uniform and only out in public while in class A uniform or higher. It also used to be a crime to impersonate a member of the armed forces by wearing an authentic uniform. I admit I see class B, BDU and work uniforms everywhere these days to include airports, so the reg or enforcement has clearly changed but that was not the statement of the poster, was it?
I think it tacky and classless for overt PDAs from anyone of any stripe. Not criminal but rude and tacky. Kinda like ranting on a blue tooth and then taking umbrage when you get dirty looks. Did they see what the same people would do if the pawing couple had been heterosexual? If not then the implication is flawed. From the mainsteam media? I am as shocked as learning NPR is biased.

During Tuesday's Lubbock County Commissioner's meeting, Sheriff Kelly Rowe asked for money to help provide more staff at the Lubbock County Sheriff's Department.
Currently, the Lubbock County Sheriff's Office only employs 12 Deputies for the entire county of about 280,000 residents. During today's meeting, he asked for more deputies.
"We've asked for 10 additional positions this year to augment that," Rowe said.
He's also looking to increase his support staff.
"We're looking at our criminal investigation division, narcotics, communications and animal control are all top priorities this year," Rowe said.
According to Rowe, the increase in staff will cost about $1.4 Million. He says he understands times are tough, but says it's important to keep the county safe.
"Last year alone, we had over 110,000 calls for service, so we're looking to be able to meet that type of response," Rowe said.
Lubbock County Commissioner Bill McCay says he understands the Department's dilemma.
"Understanding the problem is the easy part, trying to find it is the tough part," McCay said. "I'm confident that we're going to find some money to fund some degree (of) what he requested."

A Lynchburg girl named Edie Gilger, who is battling neuroblastoma, started the national campaign locally.
This year her family planned on doing a big stand, but her pregnant mother, Emily, found out she had neuroblastoma as well.
Emily delivered the baby early so she could get treatment, so friends and family are holding it for them.

The Amherst County Sheriff's Office organized a classic car show fundraiser this Sunday June 8th.
It's all in an effort to help a 40 year veteran of the office, Captain and Lead Investigator, Gerald Higginbotham.
He was diagnosed in November with lung cancer and it's now spread to his bones and other organs.
The event goes from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. outside Amherst County High School.
Admission is free but food will be available for purchase and donations are accepted.
All proceeds go to his medical expenses.

Symbicort is an asthma controller medication combining two drugs into one inhaler -- an inhaled steroid and a long-acting beta agonist with each inhalation.
More specifically, Symbicort contains:
- Pulmicort (budesonide) -- a steroid that improves asthma symptoms by decreasing irritation and inflammation.
- Foradil (formoterol) -- a long-acting bronchodilator, or LABA, that relieves bronchoconstriction. Symbicort provides bronchodilation by relaxing smooth muscle in the lungs and making the airways wider, thereby decreasing symptoms.
Symbicort is designed to relieve asthma symptoms such as:
Advantages of Symbicort
- Easier than taking each component medicine separately
- Increases your compliance
- Allows for lower doses of total inhaled corticosteroid, which may minimize potential side effects
Disadvantages of Symbicort
- Less flexibility in dosing
- If Symbicort is used for relief of acute symptoms, you will receive a much higher dose of the steroid than is currently recommended
Form and Dosage of Symbicort
Symbicort is a metered dose inhaler. Each time you press the inhaler, a specific amount of medicine is aerosolized for inhalation.
Symbicort comes in 2 strengths: Symbicort 80/4.5 and Symbicort 160/4.5. The 80 and 160 refers to the amount (micrograms) of budesonide in each inhalation, while the amount of formoterol always stays the same at 4.5 micrograms.
Generally, Symbicort is taken 2 puffs twice per day, approximately 12 hours apart. If your asthma symptoms worsen or do not improve, your doctor will likely step you up to the formulation with more budesonide. Symbicort needs to be taken every day to improve your asthma symptoms.
Additionally, a few studies have suggested the possibility of using a combination product as your only inhaler for both control and acute symptoms, but you should discuss this with your doctor before trying it.
Potential Side Effects of Symbicort
As with most other drugs, only a small percentage of patients experience side effects. Potential side effects of Symbicort are similar to those of both inhaled steroids and LABAs.
Symbicort carries a "black box" warning like other medicines that contain a LABA. There has been some concern regarding whether LABA treatment increases the severity of asthma exacerbations and possibly increases the risk of fatal asthma. Even though a LABA may decrease the frequency of asthma episodes and severity of symptoms, a LABA may make asthma episodes more severe when they do occur.
Symbicort can be a useful tool for patients who are not able to achieve control of their asthma with an inhaled steroid alone. You and your physician need to to discuss the possible risks and benefits of combination therapy, and make sure you notify your physician of any worsening of your asthma symptoms.
