When you think of growing bones, you might think they grow out from the center of the bone. But the long bones in the legs and arms grow from an area at either end of these bones called the physis, or more commonly, the growth plate. These areas produce new bone tissue and determine the final length and shape of bones in adulthood.
An injured growth plate might not do its job properly, which can lead to crooked or misshapen bones, limbs that are too short, or even arthritis. Fortunately, these occurrences are rare. With recognition and proper treatment, the vast majority of kids recover from growth plate injuries without any long-term consequences.
All long bones have an area called the epiphysis, which is the rounded end of the bone. The long, middle part (or shaft) of the bone is the diaphysis; the area where the bone gets wider at its end is the metaphysis.
In a growing child, growth plates sit between the metaphysis and the epiphysis. Growth plates are the developing tissues at the end of long bones that grows in length. Growth plates are made up of cartilage, a rubbery, flexible material (the nose, for instance, is made of cartilage).
When a child's bones have completed growing (or reached skeletal maturity), the growth plates ossify (harden) and cause the epiphysis to fuse together with the metaphysis, forming one complete bone.
Girls tend to reach skeletal maturity earlier than boys; their growth plates usually close around ages 13 to 15, while boys' growth plates close later, at around ages 15 to 17. However, before growth is complete, the growth plates are susceptible to fractures (breaks). An adult whose bones have finished growing might simply pull a muscle or a tendon after a fall. But in a child, that same fall could injure the growth plate.
Most of the time, growth plate injuries happen from falling or twisting. Contact sports, like football or basketball, or fast-moving activities like skiing, skateboarding, sledding, or biking, are common causes. Injuries can also happen from activities that require repetitive training, like gymnastics, track and field, or pitching a baseball.
Less common causes of injury include:
Signs and symptoms of a growth plate injury are the same as those for a broken bone, and include:
If you suspect your child has a bone injury, try to give first aid until medical care can be provided:
A child with an open break (a bone protruding through the skin) and bleeding needs to have pressure applied to the bleeding area with a gauze pad or a clean piece of clothing or other material. Do not wash the wound or try to push back any part of the bone that may be sticking out.
After the child receives medical attention, make sure to elevate the area and apply ice packs or cold compresses for 20-minute intervals every few hours for the first 2 days after injury. This will help reduce pain and swelling. Over-the-counter pain or anti-inflammatory medicines may be given to ease discomfort.
In the emergency room or doctor's office, doctors will ask how the injury occurred and may perform some physical tests, like applying pressure to the bone or joint to see if it's unstable.
Because growth plates are cartilage, they may not show up on X-ray images. X-rays mainly show just the hard, calcium-containing parts of bones. But doctors can still tell a lot from an X-ray, including looking for swelling adjacent to the growth plates.
Treatment for growth plate injuries initially involves resting and not bearing weight on the affected limb. Most of the time this can be accomplished by wearing a cast, splint, or brace over the area to prevent movement. Many growth plate injuries are minor, and this may be the only treatment necessary.
Other times, if bones are displaced, they may have to be manipulated back into place through a gentle procedure called a reduction. If needed, a reduction will usually be done in the emergency room or operating room, after the child has been given some medication to lessen the pain. Afterward, the child may wear a splint or a brace to ensure that the bones do not move out of place.
In older kids or young children with complicated injuries, surgery might be needed to realign the bones. Surgical plates, screws, or wires might be used to secure the area so that the bone heals normally. After surgery, some kids will wear a cast during recovery.
After the fracture has healed, some kids might need physical therapy to help strengthen the area around the injury, restore normal movement if a joint (like the elbow) was affected, and make sure bones and joints are functioning normally.
Most kids who are treated for growth plate injuries do not have any long-term complications. However, follow-up care is important to make sure bones are healing and continuing to grow normally.

What the fuck is up, friends? It's a lovely damp warm day here in Airport City, n'est pas? You might be thinking to yourself, well, lucky me, it's Friday. I can get my laugh on at the Bagdad tonight, or at Fly Ass Jokes at the Brody, or many other places as well. And you would only be a little bit right, in the "many other places" part. Because this week both Portland's weekly Friday stand-up showcases are moving to Saturday.
Why? Something in the ether, maybe because Mercury is in retrograde. Maybe because on this day in 1859 Joshua A. Norton declared himself "Emperor Norton I" of the United States, and hosts Tristian Spillman and Ian Karmel have the due amount of respect for His Imperial Majesty to defer their comedy shows and allow everyone the chance to celebrate the holiday today in their own way, with family and friends.
Whatever the reason, The Fly Ass Comedy Showcase will feature Sean Jordan, Shane Torres, Nathan Brannon, and Richard Bain, showtime at at 8pm, costing just $10. Comedy Night at the Bagdad will feature Marcia Belsky, Carmen Trineece, Whitney Streed (me), Timmy Williams, Don Frost, all for $5 starting at 10pm. See you there or in hell, friends!

Williams leads Angels' bid for four-game sweep
Halos aim for eight straight against Royals' righty Davis
It was about this time last year that the Angels turned the corner from their early season struggles to put themselves back on the American League West radar. They strung together a season-best eight-game winning streak from May 22-29, yet their tumultuous start ultimately proved to be too much to overcome in their bid for a postseason push.
The Halos are hoping that's not the case again this year.
They enter Sunday's series finale against the Royals having won seven straight -- their longest winning streak since that eight-game run last May. As they look to match last year's streak by completing a four-game sweep in Kansas City on Sunday, starter Jerome Williams will have his sights set on further solidifying his spot in the starting rotation.
Things have been starting to look up for the Angels not only on the field of late, but off of it as well. Ace Jered Weaver (broken left elbow) and fellow starter Tommy Hanson (restricted list) could return as soon as Wednesday and Thursday, respectively, leaving Williams' status up in the air.
Williams, who began the season as a long reliever out of the bullpen, has filled in nicely during his recent stint in the rotation. He is 2-0 with a 1.74 ERA over his last three starts, while lasting at least six innings and allowing two runs or fewer in all three outings.
"Any time a pitcher puts his best foot forward, it obviously gives them the best chance to continue in a role, and Jerome's been pitching terrific baseball," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "We look forward to the tough decisions."
While Williams and the Angels hope to keep rolling on Sunday, the Royals will call on right-hander Wade Davis to help them snap out of a recent funk in which they've lost eight of their last nine, including four straight.
In his first season with the Royals, Davis has struggled to establish consistency on the mound. In nine starts, he has allowed seven-plus runs three times while also limiting the opposition to one or zero runs on three other occasions.
His two most recent starts have fallen somewhere in between those extremes, including a May 15 outing against the Angels in which he allowed four runs over 5 1/3 innings in picking up his third victory of the year.
Regardless of his outing on Sunday, Davis has a secured role in his club's starting rotation. The same can't be said of Williams, though he hopes to take another step toward changing that on Sunday.
"The only thing a player can do -- like Jerome is doing -- is be as productive as they can be," Scioscia said. "We've got a ways to go before our pitching staff is settled -- hopefully not too long -- but in the next couple weeks."
Angels: Jepsen nearing return
While the Halos starting rotation expects to soon receive a boost from Weaver and Hanson, their relief corps should also benefit in the near future from the return of Kevin Jepsen.
Jepsen, sidelined with a right shoulder strain, hasn't pitched for the Angels since April 11. More recently, he's made three rehab appearances -- one with Class A Inland Empire and two with Triple-A Salt Lake -- and could be activated any day.
His most recent appearance with Salt Lake came on Friday night when he tossed one scoreless inning.
"His velocity was good," manager Mike Scioscia said prior to Saturday's victory. "He threw his one inning and showed some good secondary pitches, too. He'll be evaluated [Saturday] and we'll see how he came out of it."
Royals: Perez placed on bereavement list
Catcher Salvador Perez will be placed on the bereavement list Sunday after returning home to Valencia, Venezuela, on Saturday after learning of the death of his maternal grandmother. Perez was expected to return for Sunday's series finale after sitting out on Saturday as he continues to deal with a deep bruise on his right hip, and he will be eligible to remain on the bereavement list for three to seven days.
He initially sustained the injury on Monday against the Astros when he slammed into the dugout fencing while tracking a foul popup. He left that game early and sat out each of the next two contests before returning to the lineup on Thursday and collecting three hits in the series opener against the Angels. He also played Friday before getting Saturday off.
Worth noting
• Angels slugger Josh Hamilton, who hit his seventh home run of the season on Saturday, is 5-for-9 (.556) with two doubles, one home run and a pair of walks in his career against Davis.
• Mark Trumbo is in the midst of a career-best 10-game hitting streak, during which he is hitting .350 (14-for-40) with two home runs, five doubles and seven RBIs. With a hit on Sunday, Trumbo would match shortstop Erick Aybar for the Angels' longest hitting streak this season.
• The Royals have lost four straight day games after starting the season 10-3 in their first 13 such contests.

Vivi, Flame of Hope, South Korean patrol car
Our daughter was diagnosed with bilateral congenital hip displaysia at 3 months of age. The doctors corrected it with traction, casts & harnesses. We were informed she would be able to walk correctly, but many athletic pursuits would probably not be possible. She was diagnosed with intellectual disabilities & speech problems at 3 years of age. The doctors prescribed school for social interaction, the educators informed us her learning would be quite hampered, & future life would probably be quite limited. We chose not to settle for the doctors & the educators' opinion of leaving the bar of opportunity so low. We set the bar high. The phrase "I can't" was not acceptable. Vivienne is now 32 years old. She served 2 years on the LETR Int'l Exec Council. Her sport of choice is powerlifting. She is a Final Leg Torch Runner in South Korea, giving speeches & running every day. We are so proud of our daughter & her many accomplishments. I wish the doctors and the educators could see her now.

It's not always easy to decide which girls to bring back, but Ivy Winters was a no-brainer.She's half-Italian, half-German and from Wisconsin. We love Midwestern girls because they're all curvy and corn-fed, plus they don't have all the attitude you get with some other girls. They come in happy and ready to suck some cock. Ivy was all smiles because she knew she was going to get her lips on a big cock. Every time we bring her back, she gets better and better and she proved it by gulping down the load at the end. Yep, Ivy Winters is an every drop kinda girl!

The Walrus: the US Army contemplates building an aircraft the size of a football field
« Back to ArticleSeptember 6, 2005 Moving an elephant atom by atom costs a lot more than moving the elephant in one pre-assembled lump. And that is what the US Army's Project Walrus is about – putting together an entire action unit of war machinery, with all the wiring and plumbing preinstalled, and placing it in the most strategic place. Whilst this would completely rewrite the way that war is conducted, the Walrus - a massive lozenge-shaped blimp the size of a football field capable of transporting 500 tons at a time - could offer solutions to myriad peacetime problems, opening land-locked countries to trade, enabling heavy construction materials to be delivered into urban centres with minimum disruption, freeing our highways of high volume, heavy loads, offering a more robust and agile air transportation network capable of absorbing disruptions due to weather or attack. Indeed, business logistics could again be completely rethought and streamlined because many physical transportation limits would no longer apply once a fleet of commercial walruses became available. The walrus does not require an airstrip and can land on water or on open ground.

Healthy Hoof Intensive Protein Treatment
AleciaWI, USAWhy Didn't I Know About This Before?this is really great stuff.. it is incredibly moisturizing - i have rough heels from years of wearing heels. Only the best pedicurist has been able to get them smooth, until now! I can buff and apply this cream and my feet are smooth as butter. The best part is, it's multi purpose. I can slather it on my nails, cuticles and calluses. It does the trick for all.posted Sep 3, 2010Link to this post
RosieWare, Ma, USGreat!My nails have been cracking and breaking for years, couldn't ever grow them past the tips of my fingers. This stuff works great...my nails are getting healthier and my cuticels are dry anymore. Great stuffposted Feb 12, 2010Link to this post
JenniferReno, NevadaCracked HeelsThis cream is the only thing that has ever worked for my cracked dry heels. I put it on at night with socks and my feet are at least 50%+ better the next morning....posted Jun 24, 2009Link to this post
HaileeTennesseeIt's Ok. Nothing Great.I have tried all the cuticle and nail products out there and this is not my favorite. It is a good moisturizer but does nothing to make your nails grow. The only thing that has helped my nails grow and become thicker is taking vitamins and the avon brand nail growth formula.posted Sep 26, 2008Link to this post
JudiMarylandMagic Potion!This stuff is amazing. Its the only thing that keeps my cuticles looking healthy, it gets rid of all the "ragged" edges. Just a once a day application makes a huge difference!I actually used this on my face too! I had a horrible head cold and my nose was cracked and peelinig (you know what thats like 8-). I tried vaseline, neosporin...nothing helped. Out of desperation, I put a little bit of healthy hoof on the end of my nose, and my skin was perfect by the next day!posted May 16, 2008Link to this post
ValerieOhioGood, But Not A Miracle WorkerI have thin, brittle, soft nails that peel alot and I found that this didnt really do much for me. After continuous use for 3 weeks, it still didnt help. So I used a different treatment, Nailtiques formula 2, to get my nails back into shape.Once my nails were strong and healthy again, I used this to maintain strong healthy nails.I think that this product is excellent for maintaining healthy nails, but you shouldnt expect it to work miracles for you.posted Apr 15, 2008Link to this post
Mary AnnLawrenceville, GaGreat ProductI have used the product now for about three weeks. It is great my nails and hands are getting better each day.posted Mar 16, 2008Link to this post
LeesaMNGood ProductI just ordered this product a few weeks ago and Ive just started using this..so far Ive notice that my nails are alot stronger and seems to be healthier too. I would recommend this product, because its not like strengthing nail polish that you have to put on and later it will peel off because i wear gloves all day at work. I would say so far so good.posted Feb 3, 2008Link to this post
JamesMISuperb!This is a wonderful product. No greasy after effects and plenty of moisturizing. Highly recommended! Smells good too!posted Jan 23, 2008Link to this post

Just wanted to thank Mike Caswell and his friend for the use of the pond yesterday. It was a great day, and a great time!
Mike tied one of his little wireless cameras to the Boone, but it got wet and stopped working before we could get any footage.
Other than that, everything worked out very well, and all boats returned to base.
Pictures will follow tonight.

Frequently Asked Questions
Featured Questions
Unfortunately this unit does not have any security or write protection feature. If you receive a write protection message with this drive, check for the following:
If you have data on the DataTraveler that is important to you, we strongly recommend that you use one of the two possible ways for data recovery (see below). Kingston does not offer data recovery services. For more information on our warranty policy please visit http://www.kingston.com/company/warranty.asp
There are several possible reasons why your DataTraveler is not being detected in Windows.
1. The DataTraveler could be conflicting with a pre-assigned drive letter. To resolve, do the following (Do not do this for a "Privacy" drive that assigns two drive letters):
2. The DataTraveler may be conflicting with pre-installed software. Disable all applications running in the background prior to installation of the Data Traveler.
3. If you have never used the USB ports, make sure they are working and enabled via the BIOS. Refer to your system's manual for instructions on how to access the BIOS. The USB ports should also be enabled in Device Manager. To access Device Manger, right click My Computer and select "Properties." On the System Properties dialog box, click on the Hardware tab and then on the Device Manager button. Locate the Kingston Data Traveler, usually under "Hard disk controllers" or listed as "Other." Right-click on the device and select the "enable" option.
4. Make sure you have the latest Windows Service Pack. Windows Service Packs contain fixes and updated drivers for USB devices. To find out if you have a Service Pack installed, Right-click My Computer and select "Properties". On the General tab under "System" you will find the Windows version and Service Pack information listed. If no Service Pack is listed, you can download it from the Microsoft Website.
5. If you have a desktop computer, make sure the DataTraveler is inserted directly into one of the main USB ports on the back of the PC. Front ports, keyboard ports or USB Hubs may not supply sufficient power for the High Speed DataTraveler to function properly.
6. If the DataTraveler shows up in Disk Manager but not My Computer (Computer in Windows Vista and 7) or Explorer and you have TweakUI installed, it may modify the registry to make drives hidden. To resolve, go to "TweakUI Properties" and configure it to display drives.
7. If you received a (Code 10) error and have more than one USB device inserted, remove the devices and insert the Kingston DataTraveler by itself. This error may be an indication that your particular system cannot support more than one USB device at a time.
8. Make sure you have the latest BIOS and/or firmware installed on the computer. The BIOS/Firmware can be downloaded from the computer manufacturer's Website.
Because the DataTraveler is 32GB or larger, Windows 7 will not allow you to format it FAT32. You will have to convert it using a Command Prompt. Click on Start>Run and type in CMD and click on the OK button. On the command prompt type the following (see image). Where F is your drive letter for your drive, replace it with what ever yours is. Please take notice of the spaces in between.
Unplug the other USB device, insert the DataTraveler drive and restart the system. After the DataTraveler is configured you should then be able to connect the other USB device.
This is due to a power limitation. Though some USB devices may work fine in these USB ports, 2.0 USB High Speed devices seem to require more power. In order to resolve this issue, you will need to insert the DataTraveler directly into one of the main USB ports. These USB ports are usually located in the back of the tower. If these ports are difficult to access we recommend a 3ft USB extension cable.
Formatting with Windows, Mac or Linux is may cause a performance decrease to this drive. The solution is to format the drive with this utility:
Kingston Format Utility
The solution is to format the drive with the following utility:
Since USB 3.0 is new to Mac computers, benchmarking options for USB 3.0 on Mac computers are limited. Kingston had to manually measure transfer times to compare the times between Mac and PC. The results were relatively similar.
More Questions
To transfer files larger than 4GB, the DataTraveler must have a NTFS or exFAT file system. Unfortunately, the FAT32 file system is not capable of handling a single file larger than 4GB (to be exact, one byte less than 4GB). Follow the steps below to format the DataTraveler with an NTFS File system:
Warning, all data on the DataTraveler will be lost! Please backup the data on the DataTraveler before proceeding.
Be aware MacOS 10.6.5 will support full read and write access to exFAT formatted drives. MacOS still has read only access to NTFS formatted drives.
Some devices (MP3 players, digital photo frames, etc) will not read NTFS or exFAT file systems.
Also Windows XP and Vista will require an update in order to access exFAT.
You may have formatted the drive with an exFAT file system while using Windows 7. In order to resolve, reformat the drive with the FAT32 or NTFS file system. You may also be able to update your operating system to be compatible with exFAT. But be aware some devices (MP3 players, digital photo frames, etc) will not read exFAT file system.
Some of the flash storage device's listed capacity is used for formatting and other functions and thus is not available for data storage, therefore you will not see the full capacity.
When a flash storage device is manufactured, steps are taken to ensure that the device operates reliably and permits the host device (computer, digital camera, PDA, etc.) to access the memory cells; i.e., to store and retrieve data on the flash storage device. These steps, loosely called "formatting," utilize some of the memory cells within the device and thus reduce the capacity available for data storage by the end-user.
Formatting includes the following operations:
This may be due to a power setting for your USB ports. Here are the steps to change this setting:
To resolve, make sure to insert the drive directly into the USB ports located on the computer. The USB ports found on the keyboard and some hubs may not supply sufficient power to properly operate the Kingston DataTraveler. Also, go to Finder>Preferences>Sidebar to ensure CD, DVD and iPod and External Disks are checked.
Windows assigns new drives to the next available physical drive. It will sometimes take the same drive letter as a network drive for this reason. This is a common problem with removable storage devices.
To resolve this go to control panel>administrative tools>computer management. Note the drives on the right window pane. See if the Kingston (x) is recognized. (x) denotes the drive letter that Windows assigned for the Data Traveler.
If the DataTraveler is using the same drive letter as one of the other drives, right click the Kingston Drive letter and click on "Change Drive letter and Paths".
On the next dialog box click on the "Change" button and assign a drive letter that is not currently being used.
Note: Do not manually change drive letters if you have a "Privacy" Data traveler that assigns two drive letters for the device.
In Macs you first have to empty out the trash can in order to regain the space back. You may have to re-plug the drive back in after emptying out the trash.
Should this not work then a complete format of the device should be done. Please follow these instructions for formatting your Kingston device.
WARNING: Formatting will erase all your data so please make sure you have a copy before proceeding.
This happens if the DataTraveler has been formatted with Microsoft Windows NTFS. To resolve, format the DataTraveler with Mac OS X using MS-DOS File System.
To format the DataTraveler with Mac OS 10.3.X, do the following:
Be aware MacOS 10.6.5 will support full read and write access to exFAT formatted drives. So formatting the drive using exFAT file system may also resolve this problem. MacOS still has read only access to NTFS formatted drives.
For additional assistance using the Data Traveler, please visit http://www.kingston.com/support/howtodt/default.asp to view the DataTraveler "How To" videos.
After formatting the DataTraveler in Mac OS X, the following symptoms may apply:
This is most likely a result of using the GUID partition table, which is the default partition table for Intel-based Macs. The GUID partition table is only supported in Windows Vista. Windows 7 and Windows XP do not support this file system. To resolve, you must erase the drive via Mac OS X with the appropriate options selected. Follow the steps below to erase your drive properly with Mac OS X.
After the format is complete, verify that the disk is now using MBR by looking at the "partition map scheme" in the lower right corner of the Disk Utility window. It should now display "Master Boot Record."
Follow the steps below to format the DataTraveler with an NTFS File system using Windows PC.
Note: Admin rights are required.
The Kingston (Removable) drive window will display "Formatting" while the drive is being formatted. Once the format is complete, the status will revert to "Healthy."
Windows may not recognize the MacOS Extended or Standard file system. To resolve, format the drive in MacOS DOS so that it can be used in both environments.
WARNING: Formatting will erase all of the data on the DataTraveler. Back up your data before proceeding.
For additional assistance using the DataTraveler, CLICK HERE to view the DataTraveler "How To" videos.
Although it is possible to boot from the DataTraveler, it is not a feature Kingston supports. These drives are intended as storage devices.

On February 18, Special Olympics Côte d'Ivoire's National Director Claude Tano reached the volatile city of Bouaké ahead of the team of Healthy Athletes Clinical Directors. The air was tense and the screening venue lay quiet and empty.
When athletes come to Healthy Athletes, they often first go to the discipline venue that is most convenient, that their friends are visiting, or offers the most interesting give-away item.
Last month, the island of Puerto Rico hosted an historic event for the Special Olympics movement – the 2010 Special Olympics Latin America Regional Games. Uniting more than 1,000 athletes from 33 nations through Latin America and the Caribbean, these Games marketed the beginning of a legacy for the region.
March 3, 2010 marked the second annual day of awareness for "Spread the Word to End the Word." With more than 20,000 pledges on March 3 at www.r-word.org a major goal of the campaign was surpassed - 100,000 total pledges.
Special Olympics Athlete Jeremy Valade from Michigan has been to Healthy Athletes several times, gotten eye and dental exams, and received a mouth guard and sports goggles at Healthy Athletes, but it was his visit during the U.S. National Games in Iowa in 2006 that changed his life.
When Special Olympics Cayman Islands athlete Andrew Smilley was voted to have achieved the Greatest Open Water Swim of 2009 in an online poll it was a great accomplishment first and foremost by Smilley, but it also proved to be a tremendous example of how the passion and devotion of Special Olympics athletes, families and supporters has successfully transcended to the Internet thru social media and other online communities.
Thousands of miles away from the warm water temperatures of his home in the Cayman Islands, Andrew Smilley was about to join 800 swimmers, including five fellow Special Olympic athletes, in one of the most challenging Open Water Swims in the world, the RCP Tiburon Mile.
Chih Hua Liu's visit to Healthy Athletes Opening Eyes at the 2009 World Winter Games in February ended in an ambulance ride to the emergency room with dangerously high pressure in his eye. When Bill Lutz went to a Healthy Hearing screening later that week, he was wearing obsolete hearing aids that left him virtually unable to hear. Recent follow-up interviews found that these athletes and many others like them are still benefiting from the interventions received at Healthy Athletes, as well as their overall Special Olympics experience.
A former professional player with the National Football League, Tony Covington understands the meaning of "the power of sports"--on and off the playing field. He told us about the difference he sees in Special Olympics athletes and how his own worldview has been transformed.
When Ignace Fransman stood before the Lions Club annual assembly in Belgium on December 12 to advocate for support, it was the culmination of years of partnership and a welcome relief for a Healthy Athletes program struggling with funding issues.
At one time, Athlete Kristina O'Neal did not know the pool had depth, but she is now open to a whole new world of swimming because of a precious gift of goggles from Healthy Athletes.

The School for LiesIn David Ives's freewheeling rewrite of Moliere's The Misanthrope, a disillusioned curmudgeon named Frank resolves to tell the truth to everyone he meets, no matter how disconcerting or offensive they may find it. This being a comedy, however, Frank is diverted from his highminded path by his love for the beautiful Celimene, a bored aristocrat with an equally sharp tongue. The play's virtuosic use of language turns their verbal duel into theatrical fireworks of the highest order. Andrew S.

Comment Number: EC -407
Accepted - Volume 307

Mr. Paul Bennett

Harvest Moon Natural Foods
Dietary Supplement Industry
Comments for FDA General
1. General Comments
March 20, 2003 Dockets Management Branch (HFA-305) Food and Drug Administration 5630 Fishers Lane, Rm. 1061 Rockville, MD 20852 Dear Sir/Madam, I own a health food store in Olathe Kansas, USA, and have been in the natural products industry for several years. Both my customers and I appreciate the significance of the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 with regard to protecting our right to choose how we care for ourselves. I am concerned that FDA has only just begun to implement key sections of DSHEA. For instance, the agency recently released its proposed good manufacturing practices for the industry, and yet is immediately calling for suggestions for increased legislative authority in order to better regulate the supplement industry. Shouldn't you first give DSHEA a chance to work as it was intended to before calling for new laws? Please also don't overlook that DSHEA actually increased FDA's enforcement powers. FDA can seize a dietary supplement if it presents an unreasonable or significant risk of illness or injury. In addition, the government can stop the sale of an entire class of dietary supplements if they pose an imminent public health hazard. In sum, I agree with the former FDA commissioner, Dr. Jane Henney, that DSHEA provides FDA with the necessary legal authority to protect public health. DSHEA improved consumer access to dietary supplements and information about them, while increasing consumer protection against unsafe products and false and misleading claims. I strongly support DSHEA and do not think any additional legislative authority is necessary for FDA to regulate ephedra or any other dietary supplement. Sincerely, Paul Bennett 2113-A E. 151st Street Olathe, KS 66062

Scene Info
Things are getting mighty steamy in that glassed-in shower as beefy Angelo Marconi soaps up his monster cock. Blazing Paddy O'Brian rambles in with his gleaming white cock pointed straight up, and demands an exchanged frenzy of cocksucking and ass fucking that drives the passionate pair from the shower onto the deck and into the bedroom. They kiss furiously, too, lips and tongues disappearing as the men meld together. Angelo's spit smears across his face as he downs every inch of Paddy's immense tool. He deep throats it 'til he gags. Paddy calls him �Greedy,� and slams Angelo's ass like he's gonna dynamite the gaping glory hole. Angelo takes it like the bruiser bottom he is, quivering, begging for more, holding on for the ride of his life. Sweat pours down Paddy's body. He's possessed, tripling the speed of his cocks depth charge in Angelo's more than eager hole. The sheer velocity of fuck decimates Angelo, and screaming, they both explode, shooting shrapnel of cum everywhere.
