Complaints from other scientists about Cameron's ethics prompted his ouster from the American Psychological Association. (Cameron insists he left under his own power.)
But what's most striking to Cole is not Cameron's scientific practices; it's his dogged pursuit of other people's sex activity.
"The intriguing thing about Paul Cameron is his obsession and extreme preoccupation with homosexuality," says Cole. "He's certainly obsessed and fascinated with homosexuality, in a persistent way."
Cameron has an answer for that: "All scientists become obsessed with whatever their topic is."
Paul Cameron says he was a "late bloomer" sexually. But that didn't prevent him from being aware of sex. He recalls being sympathetic, at one time, to gays before he knew "what homosexuals do." As a student at the University of Louisville, he says, he would have ranked a "seven" on a scale of support for gay rights.
After receiving his Ph.D. in psychology from the University of Colorado-Boulder in 1966, Cameron went to work on what kills people. He claims he was one of the first researchers to explore the effects of secondhand smoke. He studied gerontology. In 1972 he published a study in Psychological Reports about the relationship between pet ownership and happiness. Pet owners, he concluded, were more apt to like pets than were non-owners, but pet owners in general were less happy than non-owners.
Petting was more his cup of tea, however. While teaching at a seminary, he authored a small book called Sexual Gradualism, a Christian sex guide for teens. The 1978 book, available locally only at the Denver Seminary library, is remarkable compared with other Christian sex guides. While practically all such books are vague about sexual practices and full of warnings about any such activity outside of marriage, Cameron's advocates instruction and responsible practice in "levels" of sexual intimacy, urging youths to experiment but cautioning them to avoid intercourse, which he describes as "Level 8," the ultimate level of intimacy.
While open-minded in many ways, with its emphasis on pursuing sexual pleasure right along with other intimacies, the book also reveals a preoccupation with cleanliness. Kissing, for example, was "Level 3" in Cameron's list of sexual intimacies, below mutual masturbation ("Level 5") and oral sex ("Level 7"). But he also noted that kissing "is probably among the most harmful practices in which our culture indulges. I know of no absolute way to compare the amount of disease attributable to sexual intercourse as compared to mouth to mouth exchange. But I would suspect there are far more dangerous diseases communicated by way of the mouth than the genital track."
His book even sang the praises of anal sex, noting that "the anus is potentially 'sexy'" and describing for his conservative Christian audience the technique of "pressing on and around" the anus to evoke sexual pleasure. In fact, he wrote, one could consider anal sex an even deeper sexual intimacy, although he couldn't quite decide where to rank it. "Personally," he wrote, "I believe anal intercourse is too close to the 'real thing' and is to be left as 'Level 9.' I could see making a case for it, however, but only after Level 7...Perhaps I am being too 'square.' Anal intercourse is employed in many cultures as a substitute for Level 8." He noted that "some regard the anus as 'dirty' or 'smelly' and therefore not sexy. Others, sometimes for the same reasons, see it as sensual."
Which led right back to his favorite subtext of cleanliness. Elsewhere in this groundbreaking Christian guide to sex, he advised: "A person who presents himself to you 'in the raw,' smelling like a human, and looking a bit gruky, is providing a gift. But how much better if the present has been wrapped? When wrapped you know some care has gone into the gift. So with cleanliness. The only thing that all humans have equally is time. A clean person has spent some of this valuable and irreplaceable commodity to you. Appreciate and enjoy."
The book was aimed at sparking a movement toward a "middle ground" of sexuality between liberal and conservative approaches. The teaching of gradualism, he pronounced, was suitable for children as young as eight; by the age of thirteen, such advice would be too late. Though no diatribe against homosexuality, the guide encouraged heterosexual behavior as a way of ensuring that children wouldn't find homosexual activity appealing. "One's sexual tastes are one's own business," he wrote. That was before Cameron made everyone else's sexual tastes his business.
Now Cameron sees his book in a slightly different light. "I was more ignorant then than today," he says of anal sex. "It's true, people practice it. But I didn't realize at the time how readily the anus is injured and allows the absorption of various germs. Now that we know more about the anus, it's simply a practice I wouldn't recommend now."
As a whole, he says, the book "went too far" for conservatives and not far enough for liberals, so it wasn't well-received.
"Sexual gradualism" clearly wasn't going to become a movement, so Cameron searched elsewhere for a cause.
"I looked at the panoply of things happening to our society--abortion, homosexuality, suicide, euthanasia," he says. "I had dabbled in each of these areas." He decided to focus on homosexuality. Cameron describes his choice as a "back-door sort of thing," evolving out of a 1974 study he had done on smokers that convinced him that they become more "lethal" in their behavior. As an afterthought, he says, he had included a question about homosexuals and theorized that they, too, were more "lethal." He noticed that while organizations of psychologists and psychiatrists were destigmatizing homosexuality by no longer considering it an "illness," conservatives were doing little on the subject.

GE Profile Series Countertop Microwave Oven ( Stainless Steel)
We've seen other high-power, high-capacity cookers that cost a lot less. Reheating almost anything at the touch of a button is a tempting feature, but unless you think you'd use it often, you'll probably want something less expensive.

Workers recently began installing what will be a covered drainage pipe that Chatham engineers say will address safety and drainage concerns along Skidaway Road's curving westbound lane across from the Wormsloe Historic Site.

It is still unknown whether the transportation sales tax will pass on Tuesday, but proponents of the referendum are clearly winning the fundraising race.
Pro-TSPLOST group Georgia Transportation Alliance has raised $2 million and spent about 70 percent of that to promote the tax, according to the most recent campaign disclosure report received this week.
Many of the contributors are businesses involved in the construction industry, which stands to benefit if the tax for transportation projects throughout the state passes.

Things got a bit heated during Friday's meeting between Chatham County and city leaders. Savannah Mayor Edna Jackson, as well as representatives from the other seven municipalities, pressed County Commission Chairman Pete Liakakis and Commissioner Patrick Farrell to resume negotiations regarding the distribution of an estimated $600 million in Local Option Sales Tax revenue during the next 10 years. Liakakis cut off negotiations early in July and called for a third-party mediator to step in to help the two sides resolve their differences over how the funds should be split up.

A veteran who served four tours in Vietnam, who lived in the Flathead during the 1980's and worked at Montana Raft Company, has died in a plane crash.
KIMT-TV of Mason City, Iowa, reports Terry Hanson, 68, died when his plane crashed in Alaska over the weekend. He moved from Iowa to Whitefish in 1977.
Three other people also were killed in the crash, but six people did survive. The single engine Cessna went down near the town of Mountain Village.
A spokesperson for the Alaska State Troopers told the Anchorage Daily News that searchers had to wade through freezing rain, low clouds and poor visibility right after the crash.
The National Transportation Safety Board is now looking into the cause of the accident.

It didn't take long for Lincoln-Way co-op sophomore Maggie Schultz to go from unknown to someone who seriously could be mentioned in a conversation about who has a shot to win top individual honors in the SouthWest Suburban Conference.
Defending champion Kaila Pohrte, of Lincoln-Way co-op, won't be able to defend her crown after suffering a knee injury before the season. Pohrte became the first Lincoln-Way female gymnast to win a conference title after recording a 35.200 in 2013.
With Pohrte's absence, the field is wide open. Returning conference standouts include Sandburg's Anna Girlich, who was third in 2013 with a 34.450, and Lockport's Kacie Kenney, who took fourth with a 33.050 and won on balance beam.
Lincoln-Way's Shelby Wiktor and Mallory Winter also have been able to put up some big numbers.
Schultz opened some eyes Jan. 11 by finishing seventh in the all-around at the Lincoln-Way Invitational with a 35.350 — which would have been the winning score at last season's conference meet. Her score included a high of 9.3 on the vault. All of the conference contenders, save Kenney, were at that meet.
"I'm happy with what I did," Schultz said. "I'm actually surprised that I did so well.''
So who is Maggie Schultz, and why haven't area fans heard much about her?
Schultz, who grew up in Wilmington, has participated in gymnastics since she was 3.
"My mom wanted to get me involved in a sport,'' Schultz said. "She started naming off all the sports, and I always wanted to learn how to flip," she said. "I chose gymnastics. I never played any other sports. It's always been gymnastics."
Schultz hasn't been a complete stranger to the Lincoln-Way area. She's a longtime member of the New Lenox-based Flip Star Gymnastics Academy.
She attended Wilmington High School, which doesn't have a gymnastics team, but spent the season on the Wildcats' competitive cheerleading team. She transferred to Lincoln-Way West and has made an impact on the co-op team.
"I've been on a club since I was 3 and always wanted to compete at the high school level," she said. "But my school didn't have it. But now I'm going to a school with gymnastics and it's been fun.''
She said her favorite event is the balance beam.
"The beam is just four inches but you can do so much stuff on it," she said. "There is stuff that you don't even know you can do on it.''
First year Lincoln-Way coach Kim Lago, a veteran coach of the area's Gym-Kenetics club, is excited to watch Schultz's progress on the high school level.
"She's a great little gymnast and I think she is going to bring a lot to this program," she said. "Hopefully, we can keep her going and she improves even more the next couple of years."

Deadheading 100 or more. I get into it and think I should just use a chainsaw. But I keep on keeping on. Turn around and saying wow "I am all done for now". And some rose in the back says "you missed me!" O crap! I give it some thought and want so badly to walk away. But, those couple little buggers will be bugging me all day! So, I know I just trudge back and do it! I hate when my roses scream at me. I got them all done, and left all the cuttings for my sweetheart to pick up. He truly doesn't mind, but I even feel guilty about that. |
Follow-Up Postings:
They do like all that primping, don't they! Like taking the curlers out of the hair--the results look so much better! So glad you don't show favoritism to some of your roses, leaving the others to fade away in neglect. : ) Kate |
You need to give yourself permission to ignore the few you miss. They won't destroy your garden nor "lose the war for the Allies". Those are part of the "small stuff" you're not supposed to "sweat". You are the only one who is going to notice them, believe me. Permitting yourself to be bothered by the one or two you missed out of the hundreds is you giving yourself permission to be over worked and over whelmed. Try giving yourself permission to not be "perfect". Life is grand once you learn how! Kim |

Hi there,
I am installing recessed lighting in our family room (18' x 14', 8ft high).
Thanks for any suggestions. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Because recessed lights don't have any indirect component (reflected off the ceiling), you need many more of them than you do of other fixture types. This raises the cost of installation and energy use. I consider them a poor choice for general lighting. If you have your heart set on them, I'd guess that you'll probably need about twice as many as you have shown here. |

Must politely disagree with davidr. I had recessed lighting in my large basement rec/family room in my previous home and it did a wonderful job keeping the room well lit. I think your plan looks pretty good, but it would be enhanced to also have lamps on side tables that would give you lower light when someone is just sitting and reading, or when you have a fire going and want softer, lower light. You can achieve this with wall sconces, too, but lamps give you more flexiblity and I prefer to leave the walls for art. The one thought I had on your layout is that it is not so good for people sitting and talking to each other as you are all awfully far away from each other! Perhaps moving the TV to the wall opposite the windows and the sofa to the TV spot and then bring the sofas inward off the walls a bit to create a cozier feel. The chairs could then also be moved around to face the TV if needed. |

On the very quick-paced performance finale of Dancing With the Stars, Erin, Evan, and Nicole performed a ''redemption dance'' and tackled the simultaneously dreaded and revered freestyle round. Some light foreplay calmed Erin's nerves, and Derek worked it out as usual, but poor Evan and Anna couldn't agree on a freestyle in time and ended up with a routine neither of them seemed to believe in. Anna was crying. The horror!
The way each couple appeared at the end when Tom and Brooke were babbling pretty much said it all: Evan and Anna stood in place with pretty but strained smiles (they're usually more relaxed), Nicole and Derek were flailing around in loose full-body sways (they're typically hyper-aware of the camera), and Maks had Erin wrapped in a forward-facing beefy arm hug (same as usual, though they seemed more comfortable than ever to exist like that in the moment). We have a markedly different vibe going into tonight's finale. I hope that for stress-relief purposes, Evan has a real piano, or an app for that on his iPhone, to tickle as a substitute for Anna's dress.
A few notes: Brooke Burke certainly doesn't shop at EW.com's HIdden Gems Emporium for her huge jewels, and her Bumpit-infused hair was a good 1.5 times wider than her tiny waist; Maks' facial hair rate of growth is out of control in a great way; and I cried a single tear after that exquisite High Mass-style opening tribute to the mirrorball trophy. Just kidding — I'd merely placed a tear-shaped rhinestone on my face, contestant-style. You gotta be festive for finals week! Meanwhile, last night's band-pan included an ample shot of Princess Sparkle but zero zoom-in love for Enthusiastic Chimes Lady. What gives? I can only assume ECL will get her own brief filler segment tonight. They can wedge her personality ''package'' between the Vienna-se nightmare and the seventh teaser of Kate Gosselin explaining for the billionth time how much people think she sucks. Make it happen, powers that bedazzle!
Without further ado, and for the last time....Will the judges please reveal their scores? LiftPolice Chief Carrie Ann Inaba!
Erin Andrews and Maksim Chmerkovskiy: 29 + 26 = 55 out of possible 60 Well, this is a surprise! Erin's at the top of the judges' leader board, if only alphabetically. She and Nicole tied; Evan was three points behind. Bruno helped Erin with her ''redemption dance,'' the samba, by providing excellent advice to keep her steps closer together and screaming at her to look at her own ass. I was too busy gaping at her incredible upper thigh bruise to really notice her ass, which in the samba was shrouded by long strands of curlicued wrapping ribbon instead of the original purple feather-duster costume. Unlike the judges, I didn't think this samba was that much improved from Erin's first. But I was extremely intrigued by the multicolored triangular flags imported directly from an outdoor swim meet to the stage, as well as the animated circles on the big screens that reminded me of Brach's Starlight Mints. I have no idea why the judges didn't mention that. Len: ''I always wanted to be kissed by a man with a beard.'' Dream bigger, DANCMSTR.
NEXT: Erin's bedroom dance, Nicole's rumba

There's no doubt that having a credit card offers many great benefits and even advantages. Credit cards can make life so convenient, that is until you find yourself in credit card debt. The way you use your card should be taken very seriously and you should try to avoid the buy now pay later mentality at all costs. If you don't believe this just look at the average credit card debt in this country. The average family carries $8,000 in credit card debt in the United States according to the American Bankers' Association. If you don't want to find yourself part of this statistic then make a plan for your credit card use and review these tips for staying out of debt.
- Figure out why you want a credit card
It may sound like a no brainier, but knowing why you want a credit card can be the different between ending up in credit card debt or not. Why do you want a credit card? Is it to buy things you can't afford like new furniture for your apartment or do you want to build your credit. Knowing why you want a credit card is the absolute first place to start so you don't end up in credit card debt. - Choose the right credit card
Staying out of credit card debt begins long before you start making purchases. You first need to choose the right card. There are so many cards out there today that it can get confusing and even a bit overwhelming. Do your research and find a card that fits your spending habits. Resist the temptation to go with the first offer you receive in the mail and instead go online and research the different cards available. Learn about the different interest rates, payment terms, fees and charges and of course the application requirements. Only after doing this type of research should you start applying. If you are a first time credit card user take your time and don't get sucked into all the fun adds that are trying to real you in. - Know the terms and conditions of the card
Knowing the terms and conditions of the card is very important. There are so many different card terms that knowing the difference between them can determine how you use your card. Each card functions differently and knowing how your card functions can keep you on the right path. - Follow a budget
Its no secret that following a budget takes discipline. Its not easy and it takes work. The easy part is devising the budget and that is half the battle. Just looking at your expenses each month verses your income is a good start to making good financial decisions. Seeing the numbers in front of you can sometimes be enough to jump start you into gear. As you look at each expense ask yourself if it is a necessary expense and if you can reduce it at all. For example, your rent or mortgage is a necessary expense, but is your cable t.v. with every available option necessary. For some the answer will be yes, but for others it might not be necessary and you can reduce that bill. - Only make everyday purchases
One rule of thumb that will help you stay out of credit card debt is to only make purchases with your credit card that you would normally make. This would include things like gas, bills, groceries, and other things you determine necessary. A big screen t.v. would not fit into the category of necessary unless you have been saving up for it. In that case, use your credit card for the purchase and then pay it off. You get in trouble when you use your credit card for things that you can't afford to buy. - Pretend minimum payments don't exist
Paying only the minimum payment each month won't get you anywhere that you want to be. As a matter of fact, if you only pay your minimum payment your balance can very easily swell up and get out of control quickly. Your minimum payment drops as your balance is paid, but because of compounding interest, you will end up paying for a long, long time if you pay only the minimum. To see an example use a debt calculator to get a better picture and check out how much interest you will pay over the life of the debt. - Make your payment early
A smart rule to set for yourself is that you will always make your payment early. Late payments are reported to the credit bureaus and can lower your credit score. By making a rule that you will make your payment early will reduce the chances of having a late payment. Plus if something unplanned happens like card trouble, having your credit card payment already out of the way might not interfere. - Ask for a lower credit limit
You can always ask your card company for a lower credit limit. If they offer you a $5,000 limit go ahead and ask for a $2,500 limit instead. Adjust your credit limit to an amount that is within your means. If you are someone that is tempted easily by a high credit limit then you should definitely consider reducing it.

BRTC Sun Pact is a BB pressed powder. Like most Korean pressed powders, it comes with a transparent plastic case that covers the powder to separate it from the sponge. Love this about them. The powder is a medium beige and lightly scented. I think it would suit fair to medium skin tones. It does even out the face, however, the oil control is not so good. The color is a little too dark for me too. Blendability, staying power, and overall finish bear average results. This is a so-so product. I wouldn't buy it again for I am looking for a pressed powder that truly delivers.

In reality the failure rate of these is very low. There are more than a million in the field and there are relatively few that have experienced these symptoms. I don't view these symptoms as inevitable.
I have a T61p at home that my wife uses and we've not had any problem with it. I think you should approach this like any purchase of something second hand and (out of warranty?)... consider that you are buying it at a discount and used, and not from the manufacturer. If you are concerned with the cost to repair / replace any of the components outside of warranty, perhaps you might look into a post warranty maintenance agreement?
The intel based video equipped models won't have the risk of this particular symptom, but there is no guarantee that either will run indefinitely.. Of course, that is true of all manufacturer's systems, and pretty much any electronic device.
One of the keys to longevity is to keep the fan and heatsink cleaned out. You can use a can of compressed air to clean out the fan and heatsink periodically.

Another T61 (7662-CTO) bites the Nvidia 140M dust!
I have a T61 I bought in Oct. 2007. The video just blew up on it yesterday with absolutely no warning. It had been running perfectly fine, then screen started flickering, went to a BSOD on the nvidia driver nvlddmkm.sys, and that was the end of it. No video on restart to either laptop screen or external monitor.
When I bought this, it was a choice between Lenovo and Dell. I ended up paying a bit more for the Lenovo based on reputation and reliability. My mistake. Six year-old Dell Inspiron still running fine with no problems.
I'm an IT professional by trade (own business for the last six years), and really disappointed in Lenovo. This was my primary business computer as I work a lot on-site at clients' offices. Hadn't budgeted or planned on buying a new laptop this year as I had just upgraded memory and hard drive last yeart to extend the T61's life. Joke's on me.
Just orderd a Dell Vostro as a replacement. What I paid for the T61 is way too much for only three years of use.
01-01-2011 06:42 PM - edited 01-01-2011 06:53 PM
Yeah, I know. I've serviced a few HPs with the same issues as well.
Mark, I read in one of your posts you suggested replacing the T61 (with Quadro 140M) system board with one that had Intel graphics. My system board is part # 41W1489 (14.1" wide screen with 1440 X 900 resolution). What part # could I use to substitue as the rest of the laptop is in perfect working condition?
scroll down to 21 and there's a list of boards that will work. part numbers are on the right.
just as an example.
Thanks. I had seen that list, but the only ones listed for the 7662-CTO are the ones with the NVS 140. There are two listed with the Intel GMA X3100 graphic, 41W1487 and 42W7866. How do I know what the differences are and which of those two boards would be the best replacement?
01-02-2011 02:57 PM - edited 01-02-2011 03:01 PM
the difference i believe is the processor that they take. the 41w1487 will take up to a t7700.
the 42w7866 will take up to a t9300
availability and price might be a concern. you might be able to find a 41w1487 bare bones reasonable where your processor off your old board will drop right on.
what i don't know is whether your processor will work on the 42w7866. although that board would seem to be the most upgradeable board. i would think that this board will be the more expensive board.
judging from what i see on ebay, the 41w1487 is between 100 and 200 bucks, usually.
and the 42w7866 is between 200 and 300 bucks.
some come with processors and most don't. but, we're talking about ebay, you know how that goes. that should give a basis for price and availability though.
Well, I got it a few days ago.... I turned it on, and in about 20 minutes the screen went out! ..Same symptoms as everyone else reports... bright lines all over, then it went out.... So the thing's Nvidia card had already failed before I even got it.... But at least he refunded me the money.... So I bought another one on ebay that has a INTEL gpu.... I will be sure to stay away from nvidia from now on......

This fragranced liquid lipstick provides semi-opaque color, and it's easy to apply evenly thanks to the tapered wand applicator. Lip gloss fans who are looking for extra color payoff will want to check this out, especially because this gloss also has a buttery texture and a striking high-shine finish.
As with most lip glosses, the texture of the product makes it prone to bleeding into fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth. We recommend pairing Lip Glow with an anti-feather lipliner, but overall the colors are natural enough that minor bleeding won't be all that noticeable. The shade range is attractive, with a selection of rosy pinks, but it also includes some brighter shades that are great for a fun departure or when you really want to add some pizazz to your lips.
One more comment: Don't let the claims about lip-plumping oils and ceramides sway your purchasing decision; those ingredients are present in such small amounts they cannot truly benefit your lips, and they wouldn't plump up your lips even if there were more of them in here. This is a good gloss, but there are others available for less money. Spending more here is about Burberry's branding and designer name, not about getting a superior product.
British fashion house Burberry has a long history, dating back to 1856 when the company opened its first store in Basingstoke, England. Initially specializing in outerwear, Burberry is credited with creating the first true "trench coat" for the British military in the early 1900s, which quickly gained popularity with the general public after World War I. In the years since their trench coat became a fashion staple, Burberry has become a global brand, and now has stores all over the world. In 2010, Burberry, taking a cue from other high fashion brands such as Armani and Chanel, launched its own line of cosmetics—Burberry Beauty.
Burberry Beauty's lineup of products is relatively small compared to those of competing designer brands, but it includes all the basics: foundation, concealer, eyeshadow, lipstick, and blush. Unfortunately, many of the Burberry Beauty products have better packaging than performance, and definitely more style than substance. The bottles, compacts, and various cases look very high-end, with each product featuring the iconic Burberry "check plaid," a pattern the company began using as its signature in the 1920s. Unfortunately, iconic brand symbols and pretty packaging don't necessarily make for great makeup.
Despite its designer pedigree, Burberry Beauty is sadly mediocre—especially given its heritage and price point. If a designer name holds more allure for you when shopping for makeup, then Dior, Chanel, or Armani are all much better options.

"Lady Libertarians," Off Limits, November 9
Politics as Unusual
I was eating at a local Chipotle and enjoying a Westword when the "Lady Libertarians" item in Off Limits caught my interest, particularly this sentence with respect to Dawn Winkler: "What with stocking their desert compounds with firearms, who knew Libertarians had enough time to screw around on MySpace?" I understand that the editorial staff at Westword leans toward socialism, as probably do most of the readers; socialism is what's currently popular. But I would like to remind everyone what Libertarians fight for.
A Libertarian fights for a country that has a limited government that cannot impose its will upon the citizens the government is supposed to represent. A country whose government recognizes that adults are people capable of making the best decisions for themselves, by themselves. (I am sure there are people willing to help adults who have trouble making these types of decisions.) A country that does not need a government telling adults what to do and how to do it. A country that allows individuals to decide for themselves what is morally right and wrong.
Thanks, Westword, for offering an intelligent alternative.
Zach Fross
I'm not a big Westword fan, but it does have a certain entertainment value, and the price is right. I'm assuming that since November 7, the Westword staff has been in full-party mode, and I guess that's to be expected. Every dog has its day, and even CU wins occasionally -- so for what it's worth, congratulations.
But when all the crack pipes have been put away and all the empty wine bottles picked up and the uneaten brie put back in the fridge, will Westword be examining some of the lesser-covered aspects of the last election?
For example, the rejection of the so-called gay rights initiatives. In the past, mean, nasty Republicans have always been blamed when ballot initiatives involving gay rights failed. But in an election where Democrats were swept into office statewide, it would be difficult to believe that same old tired jive. And how do gays feel about their "friends" partying like it's 1999, while they've come up as the election's biggest losers?
And what about Bill Ritter, our newly elected, pro-life Democrat governor? How does the Colorado pro-choice crowd feel about being irrelevant? Do they feel abandoned by the Democrats? Has Emily's List become Emily's Pissed? Did they sit out the election, or did they vote for Mr. Ritter, like good little girls? Were they secretly rooting for Mr. Beauprez?
Will Westword be looking at these things, or does Westword only do political stories that fit the blame-it-all-on-Republicans template?

Sensible Gun Policy in Connecticut
Thirty-eight percent of American households own guns, and many of these households have children under 18 years of age and accessible firearms and ammunition. Children in the United States are 10 times more likely to be killed by firearms than in other developed countries. In Connecticut, from 2006-2010 there were 894 deaths, 1,261 hospital admissions and 1,645 emergency department resulting from firearm injuries. The Connecticut Children's Pediatric Trauma Program and Injury Prevention Center has developed the following evidence-based recommendations as opportunities for common sense gun policy reforms in Connecticut and the United States.
1. Federal regulation of gun purchases that would include mandatory waiting periods, closure of the gun show and internet sales loopholes, mental health restrictions for gun purchases, and more comprehensive background checks.
2. Renew the federal assault weapons ban that expired a decade ago and close the loopholes in Connecticut's assault weapons ban.
3. Ban high-capacity magazines.
4. Allow federal public health agencies to study firearm violence and make recommendations on evidence-based ways to prevent firearm violence.
Those endorsing this position statement pledge to support common sense firearm policy reforms in Connecticut and the United States.
1. Connecticut Injury Surveillance System (CISS) includes death certificate data (CT Dept of Public Health), hospital admission and emergency department visit data (ChimeData, Connecticut Hospital Association). CISS is operated by the Injury Prevention Center, Connecticut Children's Medical Center

Celexa is a well established and popular member of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) class of medications. in this Celexa review you will learn about when Celexa is used, as well as its common side effects and drug interactions. Celexa (citalopram) has FDA the FDA indication treatment of for major depressive disorder in adults. Celexa does not have FDA approval for use in children although it is used off label by some pediatric psychiatrists. Like all medications in the SSRI class Celexa carries an FDA black box warning of increased risk of suicidality in patients under age 25 years old. Patients under age 25 who are prescribed Celexa need careful monitoring and observation for worsening of depression and suicidal ideation or intent. The usual starting dosage of Celexa is 20 mg orally once a day and the dose may be increased to a maximum of 40 mg daily. Prior to a 2011 FDA warning Celexa in doses up to 80 mg daily were used on occasion but an increased risk of cardiac arrhythmias warranted a reduction in the maximum Celexa dose to 40 mg daily. Celexa is also used off label for the treatment of anxiety disorder, panic disorder, premature ejaculation, obsessive-compulsive disorder and is a part of combination therapy for bipolar disorder.
Celexa generally has a delayed onset of therapeutic benefit that is not noted until after 1 to 4 weeks of treatment. This is likely because the mechanism of action of Celexa is by inhibition of the reuptake of serotonin by the presynaptic membrane at nerve junctions in the brain. It likely takes some period of time for the effective concentration of Celexa to accumulate in the fluid in the neural junction and to therefore become effective.
Celexa has become available as a generic drug which is quite inexpensive through discount pharmacies and is well-known as citalopram. Citalopram is one of several SSRI drugs available on the $4./ month discount pharmacy programs.
Celexa is metabolized extensively in the liver through the CYP 450 metabolic process and is a 2C19 and 3A4 substrate as well as being a weak 2D6inhibitor. It is probably not important to understand the details of this but you should understand that this makes drug interactions with Celexa reasonably common and the use of Celexa with cisapride, thioridazine and the nonselective MAO inhibitors is contraindicated. In addition the list of drugs with potential drug interactions with Celexa is extensive and includes warfarin along with numerous other medications.
The mechanism of cardiac arrhythmias with citalopram at high dosage is through prolongation of the QT interval. The QT interval is the time of repolarization of the cardiac muscles between heartbeats and is a time when the initiation of serious cardiac arrhythmias can occur. This phenomenon is called torsade de pointes and when Celexa is used in combination with other medications that can prolong the QT interval the risk of torsade de pointes and serious cardiac arrhythmias and death Is increased. Examples of medications where combination with Celexa can lead to QT prolongation include thiazide diuretics, the no macrolide antibiotics, Plavix, and cimetidine, as well as many others.
Celexa side effects are fortunately usually tolerable for most patients with the low discontinuation rate because of side effects but nonetheless side effects are common with Celexa use. The most common side effect with Celexa is orgasmic dysfunction in women and ejaculatory delay in men. This can be very annoying and is a side effect common to the whole no SSRI class of medications. Other common Celexa side effects include gastrointestinal side effects like nausea, diarrhea, dyspepsia and dry mouth. Sweating and insomnia are typical neurologic side effects. Nervousness and anxiety are occasionally noted with Celexa use especially early in the course therapy. Serious Celexa side effects can include suicidality especially in those under age 25, the serotonin syndrome especially when used in conjunction with other medications that can have serotonergic affect, mania especially in patients with bipolar disorder, hyponatremia and SIADH, prolonged age that the QT interval and torsade de pointes, and priapism.
The SSRI discontinuation syndrome can be noted with any SSRI medications but is more common in SSRIs with a short-term half-life (the length of time it takes for 50% of the amount of a drug in the blood stream to be excreted or metabolized). Celexa has a relatively long serum half-life of approximately 35 hours and so the SSRI discontinuation syndrome is relatively uncommon and usually fairly mild with Celexa discontinuation. Still discontinuation of Celexa from high dosage should be discouraged and a gradual taper of Celexa dosage over number of days or weeks is usually recommended. When compared to SSRIs like paroxetine (Paxil) which has a much shorter serum half-life discontinuation symptoms are less frequent and less severe most the time with Celexa. The selective norepinephrine-serotonin inhibitor (SNRI) Effexor (venlafaxine) is especially notorious for its frequent and severe discontinuation syndrome. The typical symptoms of SSRI discontinuation syndrome can include vertigo, dizziness, a spacey feeling in the head, and odd electrical impulses sometimes described as zaps or zinger sensations. Additional symptoms of the SSRI discontinuation syndrome can include headache, nightmares, tremor, irritability, dysphoria, confusion and emotional lability. All of these symptoms are felt to be self-limited although rare incidences of long-lasting problems have been claimed.
Escitalopram, the stereo-isomer of citalopram that is biologically active, was brought to market as Lexapro and has gained favor by some as having a quicker onset of action as well as potentially higher efficacy and lower side effect profile when compared to Celexa, although many feel that the two drugs are very similar in their efficacy and side effects. This was a bigger issue prior to the release of generic escitalopram in 2012.
Celexa carries a C rating for safety during pregnancy but has trimester specific cautions and is generally avoided especially late in pregnancy. The safety of Celexa during lactation is uncertain.
Overall Celexa should be considered for treatment of major depressive disorder, especially in patients where there's no history of bipolar disorder or symptoms to suggest bipolar disorder and when generic citalopram with its very low cost is attractive.

Bob Buck may not be as famous as Charles Lindbergh, but he's well known among aviators for setting flight-distance records in the 1930s, flying a B-17 in the Second World War, and finally, becoming a commercial airline pilot who logged more than 2,000 trips across the Atlantic Ocean. North Star over My Shoulder is Buck's memoir of a life spent in the skies. He shares plenty of cockpit wisdom: "A copilot can make a trip or ruin it; get someone who talks too much, gripes about the company, tries to impress you, tells long and boring anecdotes, or is overly aggressive in suggesting ways to run the flight, and the taste is unpleasant." He also answers the question he says nonpilots are most likely to ask him: How do you overcome jet lag? "You don't," he says. Buck addresses offbeat subjects, too, such as what an airline pilot does when one of his first-class passengers is irate about the lack of caviar on a long trip. Readers fascinated by flight will enjoy this book, both for its historical perspective on advances in aviation ("a time no one will ever experience again") and the good advice that springs from almost every page ("sitting low tends to make you level off a little too high, while sitting up high tends to make you fly into the ground and not level off enough"). Pilots will appreciate this book, as will anybody who has ever wondered what it's like to fly a plane. --John Miller
Captain Robert N. Buck retired from TWA after having flown well over two thousand Atlantic crossings and thirty-seven years of service as chief pilot and director of thunderstorm research. During World War II he was engaged in weather research for the U.S. Air Corps, for which he was awarded, as a civilian, the Air Medal by President Harry Truman. More recently, Buck has worked with the International Civil Aviation Organization -- the UN's body for aviation -- to develop a new plan of world airspace.
In North Star over My Shoulder, Bob Buck tells of a life spent up and over the clouds, and of the wonderful places and marvelous people who have been a part of that life. He captures the feel, taste, and smell of flying's great early era -- how the people lived, what they did and felt, and what it was really like to be a part of the world as it grew smaller and smaller. A terrific storyteller and a fascinating man, Bob Buck has turned his well-lived life into a delightful memoir for anyone who remembers when there really was something special in the air.
