Baseball and Pfeiffer Athletics to Retire Jersey of Legendary Coach Joe Ferebee
April 19, 2013
Ceremony to honor Winningest Coach in North Carolina Baseball set for April 20
MISENHEIMER, N.C. - Pfeiffer University will officially retire the jersey of former athletic director and legendary baseball coach Joe Ferebee, who led Pfeiffers baseball program from 1958-1987. The ceremony will take place on Sat., April 20, 11:30 a.m., Joseph S. Ferebee Field at Pfeiffer Universitys Misenheimer campus (48380 U.S. Hway 52N) immediately prior to baseball doubleheader at noon between the Pfeiffer Falcons and nationally-ranked Mount Olive College.
Coach Ferebee, known affectionately as the winningest coach in North Carolina baseball history, won 677 games at Pfeiffer and an additional 694 with various American Legion teams. While at Pfeiffer, he led the Falcons to ten conference championships and five NAIA District crowns; in 1968, Pfeiffers baseball team was ranked number two in the nation. Over the course of his career, he coached 42 Pfeiffer ball players to major league contracts.
Elected to no fewer than eight halls of fame, Coach Ferebee is well-known throughout North Carolina for his accomplishments. His hall of fame inductions include North Carolina Sports Hall of Fame, Catawba College, Pfeiffer University, North Carolina American Legion Baseball, National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics, American Coaches Association, Stanly County and Salisbury-Rowan.
No one in the history of Pfeiffer University athletics has influenced the lives of more young people than Coach Ferebee, said Jack Ingram 74, interim athletic director, who was a Pfeiffer student-athlete during Coach Ferebees tenure. He instinctively knew how to bring out the best in his players, who respected him and rose to the challenges of the game under his guidance.
A native of Mocksville, N.C., Coach Ferebee began his coaching career in 1947 at Salisbury High School after service in the U.S. Navy during World War II. In 1955, he coached Salisbury to the state 3A championship. The same year, his Salisbury-Rowan American Legion team won the state crown, finishing third in the national playoffs. Ferebee is credited with putting Salisbury-Rowan on the American Legion map by leading them to three North Carolina state titles, four 2nd place finishes and 15 area championships.
In 1969 and 1971, Coach Ferebee received the Governors Award for his contributions to youth baseball; in 1988 he was honored by the Raleigh Hot Stove League. Including 13 years as a professional baseball scout, Ferebee spent a total of 41 years in the game.
Now 94, Coach Ferebee is a fixture on Pfeiffers campus and in the cafeteria where he still visits every day for lunch. After the 2013 baseball season, his familiar #23 baseball jersey will never again be worn by a Pfeiffer student-athlete.

Superstorm's impact stirs Katrina memories
"Every disaster is different," said Hilt, 41, a Snohomish County Fire District 1 paramedic who helped with the New Orleans recovery in 2003.
Hilt was on the Washington-1 Disaster Medical Assistance Team recently deployed to hard-hit Long Island to assist Oceanside's South Nassau Communities Hospital deal with the throng of patients.
The storm was a double whammy for hospital workers, he said. "Many of them were also survivors of 9/11."
He was impressed by their resiliency in the wake of Sandy.
"They had lost homes and had no power or didn't know the extent of the damage. Some workers were living in their cars in the parking lot," Hilt said.
"They were still working hard. It was people surviving, doing what they need to do. It was like my grandparents' generation: 'We are going to get 'er done and make it work.'"
Hilt stepped out of his usual emergency treatment mode as a paramedic to do basic urgent care tasks.
"If I sutured one person, I sutured 100," he said.
Unlike Katrina, the proliferation of cell phones added another dimension to the Sandy victims he met.
"This time, when people came into tents they brought the pictures as well as the stories. The stories were powerful enough, but with photos and a quick video you can identify with the people even more."
Like Katrina, there was an eerie silence in the storm's aftermath.
"At the Boardwalk, a usually bustling place, it was dead quiet. Like in urban New Orleans after the hurricane," he said.
He praised the Oceanside hospital's preparedness to deal with the disaster.
"They were as ready as you can be," he said.
He brought back tips to share with others in dealing with a disaster.
And something else.
"I brought home a cold," he said. "A common cold."

Music and Conversation
The Athenaeum is pleased to welcome Los Angeles-based pianist Robert Edward Thies for an intimate solo recital highlighting his extraordinary talent and accomplishment as a musician. Thies was catapulted into the international spotlight in 1995 by winning the top prize at the Second International Profokiev Competition, a renowned piano contest held in St. Petersburg, Russia. Thies' victory was the first by an American in any Russian piano competition since 1958 — an impressive accomplishment for any artist, let alone one who was in his mid-20's at the time. Since that time, Thies has garnered a reputation as a consummate, graceful musician with a keen poetic sense and a remarkably diverse repertoire.
Thies studied under Robert Turner and Daniel Pollock, who were themselves students of the great Russian masters Madame Rosina and Josef Lhevinne. Thies has enjoyed a diverse musical career as an orchestral soloist, recitalist, and chamber musician. He has appeared with such orchestras as the Saint Petersburg Philharmonic, Mexico City Philharmonic, the National Symphony of Mexico, Auckland Philharmonia (New Zealand), and the Naples Philharmonic. In 2001, Thies completed a recital tour of 40 American cities, and he has collaborated with numerous chamber music ensembles. Thies' location in Los Angeles has also made him a highly sought-after studio musician, and he has contributed to the film scores of such renowned composers as James Horner and Danny Elfman. His debut solo album, Live in Recital, was released in February 2006.
Thies' recital program for the Athenaeum will include works by Bartok, Beethoven, Brahms, Rachmaninoff, Debussy, Ravel, Gershwin, and Khachaturian. The Yamaha piano is provided by Keyboard Concepts, Inc.

Inside the Investor's Brain
Dr. Richard Peterson, Managing Partner of Market Psychology Consulting, is a psychiatrist, investor coach, and collaborating researcher at the Claremont Graduate University Center for Neuroeconomic Studies. Dr. Peterson coaches investors, traders, financial executives, and portfolio managers for sustainable success. Additionally, he develops market forecasting software based on linguistic analysis of financial news, and he will be launching his own hedge fund in early 2008.
During his visit to the Athenaeum, Dr. Peterson will discuss his recently published book, Inside the Investor's Brain: The Power of Mind Over Money (2007), in which he examines the roots of financial decision making behavior. Neuroscientists have found that common investment mistakes originate in the brain and Dr. Peterson will review the latest findings in the fields of behavioral finance while highlighting techniques and tools for improving individual financial choices.
Dr. Peterson received his medical and bachelor's degrees from the University of Texas. He has conducted behavioral finance and neuroeconomics research at Stanford University, and has published articles in psychology, neuroscience, finance, and economic journals. He is an associate editor of the Journal of Behavioral Finance. Dr. Peterson's Athenaeum lecture is co-sponsored by the Center for Neuroeconomic Studies at Claremont Graduate University and CMC's Financial Economics Institute.
Orhan Pamuk: Other Colors, Other Stories
At a time when people speak of an clash of civilizations between East and West, a time when national identity, history, and culture are called into question, a time when religion and politics seem as intertwined as ever, a time when even the boundaries of Europe are being debated, literature's fictions can be as powerful as the dutifully reported facts of current events. In a career spanning over three decades, author Orhan Pamuk has established himself as the preeminent author of his native Turkey. His writings have spawned controversy and debate, with repercussions in the world of politics and culture as well as in the world of literature. Pamuk's novels delve deep into his own personal history as well as issues of family, Turkish national history and identity, and the ever-present tension between secular Western culture and religion. Despite these esoteric themes, Pamuk's characters are bursting with verve, flaws, and an undeniable humanity that shines through their doubts and imperfections. It is no coincidence that Pamuk is regarded as one of the most astute and incisive observers of his country's character.
Born in 1952, Pamuk was raised in an affluent, Westernized neighborhood of Istanbul and attended private schools in the area. During his childhood and teenage years, he dreamed of being a painter, but decided at age 22 to devote his life to writing. His first novel, Cevdet Bey and Sons (1982), won a national prize for unpublished novels before it even went to press. Pamuk spent the late 1980s as a resident scholar at Columbia University, and has continued his relationship with that school. Later novels such as The Black Book (1990), My Name is Red (1998), and Snow (2002) brought him increasing acclaim, and in 2006 Pamuk was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature for Istanbul. In its citation, the Nobel committee commended Pamuk, saying: "in the quest for the melancholic soul of his native city [he] has discovered new symbols for the clash and interlacing of cultures." The Athenaeum is truly honored to have a guest of such distinction and influence.
Orhan Pamuk's visit to CMC is jointly sponsored by the Gould Center for Humanistic Studies and the Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum.
Why JFK Is Still Ahead of His Time
Every four years, presidential candidates from both parties try to lay claim to John F. Kennedy's charismatic mantle. But are they missing the true significance of his brief 1000 days in office? David Talbot will offer a provocative view of JFK's presidency, focusing on the internal tensions that pitted the young president and his inner circle against his national security apparatus and tore apart JFK's administration. Kennedy's efforts to establish a peace dialogue with our enemies at the height of the Cold War - despite the intense pressure from hardliners within his own government - still hold lessons for us today. According to Talbot, some revisionist historians are also trying to denigrate the accomplishments of Robert Kennedy's passionate support of the civil rights movement. He has also found evidence that RFK did not believe in the Warren Commission findings about a lone gunman and the "magic bullet" theory. A staunch admirer of the Kennedy legacy, Talbot is determined to track down the root causes of the assassination and bring them to light.
David Talbot is the author of Brothers: The Hidden History of the Kennedy Years (2007), a recent New York Times bestseller. Historian Alan Brinkley, writing in the New York Times Book Review, called Brothers a "fearless, passionate, often angry book... This is not just a book about assassination. It is also a story of how the Kennedy brothers tried to change the world."
David Talbot is the founder and former editor-in-chief of one of the first Internet newsmagazines, Salon.com. Salon's coverage of politics, technology, relationships, and the arts, has won the website numerous awards since it was founded in 1995, and the online magazine is notable for its interactive content and lively commentator base. Before founding Salon, Talbot was the arts and features editor at the San Francisco Examiner, as well as a senior editor for Mother Jones magazine. Additionally, he has written for notable publications such as The Rolling Stone, the New Yorker, and Playboy. Although retired as Salon's editor-in-chief, he remains with Salon as Chairman of the Board.
David Talbot's visit to CMC is sponsored by the Center for the Study of the Holocaust, Genocide and Human Rights.
An Evening with the Poet
Billy Collins' influence as a poet cannot be overstated. As a pioneer of American poetry, Collins attempts to produce what he calls "hospitable" poems; poems that travel along with the reader and make the reader feel at home. His work is clear and free of pretension, and he has been hailed as a "modern-day Robert Frost." He rejects most classical attempts at formalism, preferring to emphasize the bare meaning of his poetry, and invented the "paradelle," a parody of strict poetic forms to illustrate the difficulty with obtuse poetry.
Collins has published numerous anthologies of his own poetry in addition to serving as editor of The Best American Poetry 2006 (2006). He has won many prizes from Poetry magazine, and was selected as their "Poet of the Year" in 1994, as well as becoming the first recipient of their new Mark Twain Prize for Humor in Poetry in 2005. Collins has won fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and the John Simon Guggenheim foundation, as well as the New York Foundation for the Arts. In 2001, Collins began his tenure as the 11th Poet Laureate of the United States, serving two terms, until 2003. Later, Collins accepted the position of the New York State Poet for 2004.
Collins is a graduate of the College of the Holy Cross and of the University of California, Riverside. He currently serves as a Distinguished Professor of English at Lehman College in the Bronx, New York, where he has been a member of the faculty since 1968. Collins has also served as a visiting writer and scholar at Sarah Lawrence College.
His most recent collection of poems is entitled, The Trouble with Poetry and Other Poems (2005), and he has also published a new anthology, 180 More: Extraordinary Poems for Everyday Life (2005), which continues his collection of contemporary poetry intended to be taught in schools.
A Lesson in Giving Back
Bono, lead singer of U2 and noted humanitarian, will present a lecture at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 30, as a guest of Claremont McKenna College at Bridges Auditorium. Bono was named Time magazine's 2005 Person of the Year (shared with Bill and Melinda Gates), and has received the Legion d'Honneur from the French government and an honorary British knighthood earlier this year.
Formed in 1978, U2 has sold more than 140 million albums and won 22 Grammy awards to date. In addition to his significant cultural impact through U2, Bono is a well-known advocate in the fight against AIDS and extreme poverty in Africa.
In 2002, he co-founded DATA (Debt, AIDS, Trade, Africa) to raise public awareness of the issues in its name, and influence government policy on Africa. On behalf of DATA, Bono has lobbied U.S. Presidents and Congressional leaders, along with the heads of many other G8 nations. DATA is a founding member of the One Campaign to Make Poverty History, part of a global network of millions of people campaigning against extreme poverty.
In 2006, Bono with Bobby Shriver launched Product (RED) to raise money from businesses to buy AIDS drugs for people in Africa unable to afford them. Product (RED) have an ongoing relationship with a number of iconic global brands who sell (RED) products and donate a percentage of the profits directly to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.
The lecture will be free of charge, with one ticket reserved for every Claremont McKenna College student, faculty, and staff. CMC students will be seated together on the main floor, with ticket distribution announced later this month by the Office of the Dean of Students. CMC faculty and staff may pick up their ticket at the Bridges Auditorium box office October 1-5 during normal business hours. In addition, approximately 600 tickets will be provided to other students within The Claremont Colleges, with distribution handled by the individual Deans of Students offices in October.
American Politics Today: The Presidency and the War
The 2008 elections, the first without an incumbent President since 9/11, will be a watershed event in American politics. The public will have to evaluate the direction of American foreign policy since 9/11 and consider seriously the implications of giving up on the war in Iraq instead of supporting the continued prosecution of a war we might well win. The Henry Salvatori Center and the Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum are pleased to present William Kristol, who will analyze the 2008 elections, the war in Iraq, and where we stand as a nation six years after 9/11.
William Kristol is the founder and editor of the influential Washington-based political magazine, The Weekly Standard. Widely recognized as one of the nation's leading political analysts and commentators, he is a regular guest on television's top news programs. Mr. Kristol recently coauthored The New York Times bestseller The War Over Iraq: Saddam's Tyranny and America's Mission (2003).
Before starting The Weekly Standard in 1995, Kristol led the Project for the Republican Future, where he helped shape the strategy that produced the 1994 Republican congressional victory. Prior to that, he served as chief of staff to Vice President Dan Quayle during the Bush administration and to Secretary of Education William Bennett under President Reagan. Kristol earned his A.B. and Ph.D. from Harvard University. Before coming to Washington in 1985, he taught politics at the University of Pennsylvania and Harvard's Kennedy School of Government.
During his years in government and journalism, William Kristol has acquired a reputation as one of the shrewdest and most insightful observers of American politics. Whether perceiving the first President Bush's political weakness while serving in the White House in 1991, warning Newt Gingrich against overreaching in 1995, or calling attention to the McCain phenomenon ahead of almost everyone else in 1999, Kristol has been ahead of the electoral curve. What does he see for the key 2008 elections, and beyond? Don't miss this important discussion.
Opening the Archives of the International Tracing Service
LUNCH 11:45 a.m. LECTURE 12:15 p.m.
In 1943, in the midst of World War II, the Allied forces asked the British Red Cross to set up a service to register and trace claims of missing and displaced persons affected by the horrors of war and Nazi tyranny. This Central Tracing Bureau soon evolved into the International Tracing Service (ITS), first under the control of the International Refugee Organization, and then the International Red Cross. By 1954, the ITS had moved to Bad Arolsen, Germany, and had resumed operations in the postwar Federal Republic of Germany. The ITS has collected over 50 millions reference files on some 17.5 million people. Today, the service still attempts to track displaced individuals, locating Holocaust survivors and long-lost relatives around the world.
Due to the massive amounts of records it holds and its desire to balance privacy concerns with a concern for the history of the Holocaust, the ITS works with an almost two-year backlog in processing the 200,000 requests per year that it receives. In 2006, however, the International Committee of the ITS finally decided to open the Service's documents and archives to researchers in all of its member states, the first step in the long process of enabling true public access to the archives.
Paul Shapiro, the Director of the Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, has been at the forefront of the effort to open the archives of the ITS, testifying before Congress and encouraging worldwide efforts to track down Holocaust survivors while there is still time. Shapiro has been in charge of the Museum's Center since 1997, before which he spent over a decade on archival research and acquisition for the Museum in Romania, Moldova, and the Ukraine.
Shapiro is a member of the Interagency Working Group on Nazi War Crimes and Japanese Imperial Government Records, and contributed to the report of the International Commission on the Holocaust in Romania, chaired by Elie Wiesel. Shapiro's historical research was instrumental in the denaturalization and deportation case of Valerian Trifa, the Romanian Archbishop of the United States and a former Fascist leader in Romania.
Previously, Shapiro served in the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs at the U.S. Information Agency, where he administered the Fulbright Fellowship Program. He has also served as the associate editor of the journal Problems of Communism and the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of the International Affairs.
Shapiro has studied at Harvard University and Columbia University, and has been a Fulbright Scholar, and IREX Scholar, and a Visiting Fellow at the Institute for Eurasian Studies at The George Washington University.
This lecture is the first annual H. and R. Auerbach Lecture and is made possible through the generosity of the H. and R. Auerbach Lecture Fund through the Center for the Study of the Holocaust, Genocide, and Human Rights at CMC.
South Korean Culture Goes Global? K-Pop and the Korean Wave
For aspiring artists in countries with limited markets, one of the best hopes for success comes from the opportunity to break out of their own national market and into those of their neighbors. Music is probably the easiest example of this phenomenon; the United States has long been familiar with artists from Europe and Latin America making the crossover into mainstream American culture.
However, this phenomenon is by no means limited to the Western Hemisphere, nor does it apply to music alone. The past few years have seen a surge in the exposure of South Korean pop culture in other countries, particularly in its East Asian neighbors. This trend, also known as Hallyu, or the Korean Wave, has included TV dramas, movies, and K-pop, an abbreviated term referring to Korean popular music. This trend, like all other cultural explosions, carries important implications for national identity and culture in both the source and recipient countries.
Eun Mee Kim is professor and former dean of the Graduate School of International Studies at Ewha Womans University in South Korea.

Kim was associate professor of Sociology at the University of Southern California prior to her current post at Ewha and has also been visiting professor at Harvard University and Temple University. She is the author of numerous publications on Asian development and political economy, including Big Business, Strong State: Collision and Conflict in South Korean Development, 1960-1990 (1997), and was also editor of The Four Asian Tigers: Economic Development and the Global Political Economy (1998).

Los Pinguos: A Musical Celebration for the Pacific Coast Council on Latin American Studies Conference

JOSE AGOTE, guitar
JUAN MANZUR, guitar
JUAN MANUEL LEGUIZAMON, percussion
SANTIAGO LEE, guitar
LUNCH 12:15 p.m., PERFORMANCE 12:30 p.m.
Described as a "hot Argentine folk groove band" and the "South American version of the Beatles," Los Pinguos came to the U.S. with every intention of making some noise. With Spanish guitars, a Cuban Tres and a Peruvian cajon (box-drum), musicians Adrian Buono, Jose Agote, Juan Manzur and Juan Manuel Leguizamon began playing together in Buenos Aires in 1999. Vivacious and infectious, their music garnered a devoted fan base in Argentina, inspiring the ensemble to pursue global attention.
Los Pinguos made its Los Angeles debut at local bars such as the Latin Lounge, the Knitting Factory and Key Club. But it was at Santa Monica's 3rd Street Promenade that the band realized its potential to reach a wide and diverse audience. There, a talent scout heard their music and urged them to audition for a new television show, "The Next Big Star," at which Los Pinguos claimed the Grand Prize.
Since then, they have signed a publishing deal with Latin music heavyweight Peermusic (Juanes, David Foster), recorded four new albums –"Camino Bueno" (2002), "Serenata" (2003), "Live In Los Angeles" (2005) a live double CD on Kufala Records and "Peripecias" (2006) recorded at the famous Boat Recording Studio. They've played with such acts as Ozomatli, Yerba Buena, Charlie Zaa and Pablo Montero at the Wiltern Theatre, Paul Anka and Plácido Domingo at the Music Center of Los Angeles, Charly Garcia and famed Argentinean rockers Bersuit Vergarabat. They also appeared at the 2005 SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL with female songstress Suzanne Vega. Los Pinguos' music has appeared in TV shows such as "The Shield", "The L Word", and is featured in the Antonio Banderas and Emma Thompson film "Imagining Argentina". Most recently, they have appeared on two of the world famous Putumayo World Music compliations, "Baila!" and "Radio Latino".
The band will be playing in celebration of the annual Pacific Coast Council on Latin American Studies Conference which has come for the first time to Claremont McKenna College. The conference is dedicated to the discussion, promotion, and celebration of Latin America and brings together diverse scholars and practitioners from the West Coast of the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

- The Office of Personnel Management has finalized new rules covering relocation, retention and recruitment. The rules were published in Wednesday's Federal Register. OPM now requires employees to establish residence in a new geographic area before receiving relocation benefits. Managers will also find it a little harder to hand out retention bonuses. First, they'll have to see who's available locally to potentially step in for someone leaving. They'll also have to review positions every year to make sure they are still hard to fill. Otherwise, retention bonuses for that particular job would have to end. (Federal News Radio)
- The Postal Service is banking on changes to its priority mail program to bring in an additional $0.5 billion per year. It is making online tracking free for priority mail shipments. It is offering free insurance and date-specific delivery. The cash-strapped agency sees priority mail and package delivery as the way of its future, amid declines in first-class mail. The changes come as the Postal Service is reeling from losses this year totaling $3.9 billion. This is one of the few areas where the Postal Service can tweak its business model without Congress' approval. (Associated Press)
- The Defense Department will offer health care benefits to same-sex spouses of military members starting Sept. 3. That decision follows a recent Supreme Court ruling. In June, the court struck down parts of the Defense of Marriage Act. They let legally married, same-sex couples gain recognition under federal law. To obtain TRICARE benefits, a couple must present a certificate from a state that allows same-sex marriages. There's a catch, though. The Pentagon has dropped plans to provide benefits to unmarried gay couples. But they can take leave to travel to a state which allows gay marriages. (Associated Press)
- Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel is trying to downplay President Barack Obama's tough remarks on sexual assault in the military. The reason? Some military defense attorneys say their clients aren't getting fair trials because of the commander in chief's stance. In a military-wide memo, Hagel says each military justice case must be resolved on its own facts. He says both the president and he expect everyone involved to use independent judgment. In May, Obama argued for tough penalties for sex offenders in the military. The New York Times reports dozens of defense attorneys say the president's speech amounts to unlawful command influence. (New York Times)
- Managers at the Federal Aviation Administration are urging their political leaders to act now to head off furloughs in 2014. They want Congress to pre- approve the transfer of money from an airport grants fund. And they want Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx and the White House to endorse that strategy. Federal Times reports, the FAA Managers Association spelled out the plan in a letter to Foxx and Office of Management and Budget Director Sylvia Burwell. In April, after a few furlough days had occurred, Congress let the FAA transfer $253 million from the fund so controllers and other staff could get back to fulltime work. (Federal Times)
- Bradley Manning says he is sorry for hurting the United States by leaking classified documents to the website WikiLeaks. He says he did not think his actions would harm the country. The Army private took the stand yesterday at his sentencing hearing. The court also heard from an Army psychologist who said Manning grappled with a gender-identity disorder. He says Manning was under extreme mental pressure when he was stationed in Iraq in 2010. Manning's attorneys argue that commanders should have spotted Manning's mental health issues before sending him to a war zone to handle classified information. (Associated Press)
- The Homeland Security Department has extended an agreement with Northeastern University to house a specialized research program. The award came from DHS Science and Technology Directorate. Under a five-year grant, staff at the Boston-based college will continue their work examining explosives. The project is known as ALERT — Awareness and Location of Explosives-Related Threats. Northeastern will receive $2.5 million the first year of the five-year deal. It partnered with the University of Rhode Island in competing for the grant. Northeastern is one of several research centers of excellence established by the Science and Technology directorate. (Homeland Security Department)
- Remember the 1974 horror film It's Alive by Larry Cohen? Well, the same thing can be said about bugs. Staff members at one agriculture agency have a new online application to help them identify pests. Developers in the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service developed the tool. It walks users through a series of questions about a creature's characteristics, such as color, shape and size. It draws on connections to 30 insect web sites to identify the bug. Terrence Walters manages the program. He says officials were worried about bug knowledge leaving the agency as an experienced inspector retires. (USDA)
- An injured FBI trainee who won an employment discrimination lawsuit against the Bureau can't get his job back because of budget cuts. The FBI has shut down its training academy because of sequestration. An official says Justin Slaby will have to wait until 2015, when classes are expected to resume. The Stafford, Va. veteran lost his hand to a grenade explosion while he was in the Army, forcing him to cut his military career short. He then applied to the FBI. He says trainers at the FBI Academy in Quantico discriminated against him because of his missing hand. He won the jury trial last week. Now a judge is deciding whether he will be reinstated. (Associated Press)
- The Interior Department is moving ahead with a set of contracts for cloud computing services worth up to $10 billion. The project was on hold thanks to a protest filed by Century Link. The Court of Federal Claims dismissed the protest last month. Interior's first award goes to IBM, which will host the department's SAP application. Ten companies have cloud contracts with Interior. They'll compete for future task orders. AT&T, CGI Group, Lockheed Martin, Unisys and Verizon also won contracts. Four smaller companies round out the roster, Bloomberg reports.(Interior Department)
- Cisco is cutting 4,000 jobs, or 5 percent of its workforce. The tech firm announced the layoffs while reporting revenue had increased 6 percent from this time last year. The Silicon Valley company supplies IT solutions, security, telework and cloud services to the government. It recently announced a partnership with Microsoft to deploy private and hybrid cloud infrastructure worldwide. Analysts see the financial results as a sign the company's growth has been slower than anticipated, Reuters reports. (Reuters)

Runners honor heroes in their lives at Everett half-marathon
A Lake Stevens teacher who died in 2012 is among those remembered in half-marathon and 10K runs Sunday in Everett.

Nick Adams / The Herald
Runners start down West Marine View Drive during the Heroes Half-Marathon and 10K in Everett on Sunday.
For a group of Lake Stevens High School grads, their hero on Sunday -- as they ran in Everett's Heroes Half-Marathon and 10K -- was their former teacher.
Jim Talley, an esteemed, longtime history instructor at Lake Stevens High, died a year ago last month after suffering a brain aneurysm.
"Mr. Talley was both an incredible man and teacher," said Karen Gray Young, a member of Lake Stevens' class of 2002 who ran with three friends to honor Talley's memory on Sunday.
"He taught with his heart and soul and, in the process, changed many, many Lake Stevens High School students' lives."
Others in Sunday's event ran in teams or individually to honor military members or firefighters, medics and police officers.
About 1,100 people braved a steady rain early Sunday morning to participate, organizer Jon Hoskins said. The races started and finished near The Inn at Port Gardner on W. Marine View Drive. Half-marathoners went to Marysville and back, while those running the 10K turned around at the Snohomish River Bridge.
The event came less than two weeks after the bombings at the Boston Marathon on April 15.
Expressions of support for Boston were present though understated. A giant card was available at the check-in post for runners and others to sign.
Underneath where one runner had written "United We Stand," another wrote, "Together We Run."
Some runners wore small blue-and-yellow ribbons.
Trevor Larned of Enumclaw and his sister, Elizabeth Larned of Seattle, signed up for the Everett event before the Boston bombings took place.
Afterward, though, Elizabeth had T-shirts made that read "Boston Strong" in gold-on-blue, above a gold shamrock.
Their mom, Vaune Larned of Enumclaw, is originally from Boston. She wore one of the shirts and came to cheer on her kids, she said.
This was the race's third year in Everett after starting in Seattle. Security was tighter than usual, Hoskins said.
Several State Patrol officers walked with bomb-sniffing dogs around the busy start-and-finish area.
Hoskins praised the overall support of local cities, Snohomish County and the Port of Everett in helping the race to come together.
"We've worked with a lot of cities and Everett's been the best," he said.
The top half-marathon finisher was Travis Boyd, 28, of Edmonds, who did it while pushing his 1-year-old daughter, Julia, in a stroller.
To break the Guinness Book of World Records mark for finishing a half-marathon while pushing a baby stroller was his goal, and unofficially, he succeeded.
The previous record of 1 hour, 15 minutes and 8 seconds was set by Neil Davison in the United Kingdom in 2005, according to the Guinness book website. On Sunday, Boyd finished in 1 hour, 13 minutes and 48 seconds.
"I love my daughter and I thought it would be fun to set a world record with her," he said.
Karen Young, along with fellow alumni Amy Sept of Everett, Kira Schreiber of Seattle and friend Katie Jones all finished the 10K in 1 hour, 8 minutes. "We all finished together, we wanted to," said Young, who now goes to law school at Seattle University.
They were cheered on by Alex Powell, 18, of the class of 2013, who also was a student of Talley's.
One of Talley's accomplishments was to set up a scholarship fund in honor of one of his students, Jo Desrosier, 17, who was murdered in 2001. Talley did most of the work associated with the scholarship and even supported it financially, his former students said.
Before the race, the group took pledges for the scholarship and wound up raising just under $1,000.
"With his passing we had the responsibility to stand up and be stewards of the scholarship," Young said.
Other winners in the half-marathon were Ben Lane, 40, of Woodinville in the male masters division (40 and over) and Mel Laird, 63, of Snohomish in the male grand masters division (60 and over).
Among women, the top finisher was Paige Longdon, 37, of Bothell with a time of 1 hour, 25 minutes and 54 seconds. Sharon Bertolli, 44, of Snohomish won the female masters division and Carol Finn, 61, of Seattle was the top finisher in the female grand masters division (55 and over).
Teams winning prizes were the Blue Line Runners and USCG Team MUNRO.

A Blind Eye
A Blind Eye (Mass Market Paperback)
Beneath the rotting floorboards of an abandoned shed are human bones -- lots of them -- the last things a runaway rogue true-crime writer and his photojournalist ex-lover expected to find when they took shelter from a vicious Wisconsin blizzard. The grisly nightmare Frank Corso and Meg Dougherty have uncovered is nothing they can turn a blind eye to. The hideous slaughter of a family, undetected for fifteen years, must be avenged, as the hunt for a killer carries Corso halfway across the country, and through a chilling history of violence, terror, and bloodshed. But becoming an instrument of justice has made him a target of a rage-driven maniac -- and it's leading to ashocking truth hidden in an isolated place where death lives ... and where no law protects the innocent.
About the Author
G.M. Ford is the author of six widely praised Frank Corso novels, Fury, Black River, A Blind Eye, Red Tide, No Man's Land, and Blown Away, as well as six highly acclaimed mysteries featuring Seattle private investigator Leo Waterman.

|Battle of the Belts Encourages Teens to Buckle Up
Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for American teenagers. In fact, teens have the highest fatality rate in motor vehicle crashes than any other age group. In addition, they have the lowest safety belt use rates of all drivers. For the last three years All Children's Suncoast Safe Kids of Pasco has conducted a Battle of the Belts program in an effort to change these statistics and increase safety belt use amongst teenagers.
The goal of this campaign is for high school students to convince their peers to always wear seat belts. Student organizations are asked to create a unique campaign for their high school to encourage fellow students to wear their seat belts during every ride in a motor vehicle. Award categories include 1) highest seat belt use, 2) most improved seat belt use, 3) best school campaign, 4) best public service announcement (PSA), 5) best poster, and 6) best essay.
This year the winner of the best PSA was Gulf High School and student Tiffany Ronk. The winning PSA was reproduced professionally by local television station CW44. This week the new 30-second spot started a two-month run on the station. All Children's Hospital, Suncoast Safe Kids and CBS Community Partnerships Program are sponsoring the PSA.
Tiffany, now a graduate of Gulf High School, is featured in the PSA sharing a personally tragic story about her brother. Tiffany became an advocate for seat belt usage and an activist against drinking and driving after her brother Daniel Ronk died in a car crash. He was 19. Tiffany, a member of the Students Against Destructive Decisions, produced her winning video entry with the help of her School Resource Officer Corporal Fichtemaier and others at Gulf High.
In addition to producing the award winning public service announcement, Tiffany spoke against drunk driving and about seat belt use to the student assembly for juniors and seniors at her high school in February 2011.
When asked why she does this, Tiffany simply replied: "I just want to get the message out there, so no one else will have to go through what my family and I went through. Hopefully, people will listen."

A mushroom is the fleshy, spore-bearing fruiting body of a fungus, typically produced above ground on soil or on its food source.
The standard for the name "mushroom" is the cultivated white button mushroom, Agaricus bisporus, hence the word mushroom is most often applied to those fungi (Basidiomycota, Agaricomycetes) that have a stem (stipe), a cap (pileus), and gills (lamellae, sing. lamella) on the underside of the cap, just as do store-bought white mushrooms.
The word "mushroom" can also be used for a wide variety of gilled fungi, with or without stems, and the term is used even more generally, to describe both the fleshy fruiting bodies of some Ascomycota and the woody or leathery fruiting bodies of some Basidiomycota, depending upon the context of the word.
Forms deviating from the standard form usually have more specific names, such as "puffball", "stinkhorn", and "morel", and gilled mushrooms themselves are often called "agarics" in reference to their similarity to Agaricus or their placement in the order Agaricales. By extension, "mushroom" can also designate the entire fungus when in culture or the thallus (called a mycelium) of species forming the fruiting bodies called mushrooms.
Identifying mushrooms requires a basic understanding of their macroscopic structure. Most are Basidiomycetes and gilled. Their spores, called basidiospores, are produced on the gills and fall in a fine rain of powder from under the caps as a result. At the microscopic level the basidiospores are shot off of basidia and then fall between the gills in the dead air space. As a result, for most mushrooms, if the cap is cut off and placed gill-side-down overnight, a powdery impression reflecting the shape of the gills (or pores, or spines, etc.) is formed (when the fruitbody is sporulating). The color of the powdery print, called a spore print, is used to help classify mushrooms and can help to identify them. Spore print colors include white (most common), brown, black, purple-brown, pink, yellow, and cream, but almost never blue, green, or red.
While modern identification of mushrooms is quickly becoming molecular, the standard methods for identification are still used by most and have developed into a fine art harking back to medieval times and the Victorian era, combined with microscopic examination. The presence of juices upon breaking, bruising reactions, odors, tastes, shades of color, habitat, habit, and season are all considered by mycologists, amateur and professional alike. Tasting and smelling mushrooms carries its own hazards because of poisons and allergens. Chemical tests are also used for some genera.
In general, identification to genus can often be accomplished in the field using a local mushroom guide. Identification to species, however, requires more effort; one must remember that a mushroom develops from a button stage into a mature structure, and only the latter can provide certain characteristics needed for the identification of the species. However, over-mature specimens lose features and cease producing spores. Many novices have mistaken humid water marks on paper for white spore prints, or discolored paper from oozing liquids on lamella edges for colored spored prints.
Typical mushrooms are the fruitbodies of members of the order Agaricales, whose type genus is Agaricus and type species is the field mushroom, Agaricus campestris. However, in modern molecularly defined classifications, not all members of the order Agaricales produce mushroom fruitbodies, and many other gilled fungi, collectively called mushrooms, occur in other orders in the class Agaricomycetes. For example, chanterelles are in the Cantharellales, false chanterelles like Gomphus are in the Gomphales, milk mushrooms (Lactarius) and russulas (Russula) as well as Lentinellus are in the Russulales, while the tough leathery genera Lentinus and Panus are among the Polyporales, but Neolentinus is in the Gloeophyllales, and the little pin-mushroom genus, Rickenella, along with similar genera, are in the Hymenochaetales.
Within the main body of mushrooms, in the Agaricales, are common fungi like the common fairy-ring mushroom (Marasmius oreades), shiitake, enoki, oyster mushrooms, fly agarics, and other amanitas, magic mushrooms like species of Psilocybe, paddy straw mushrooms, shaggy manes, etc.
An atypical mushroom is the Lobster mushroom, which is a deformed, cooked-lobster-colored parasitized fruitbody of a Russula or Lactarius colored and deformed by the mycoparasitic Ascomycete Hypomyces lactifluorum.
Other mushrooms are non-gilled, and then the term "mushroom" is loosely used, so that it is difficult to give a full account of their classifications. Some have pores underneath (and are usually called boletes), others have spines, such as the hedgehog mushroom and other tooth fungi, and so on. "Mushroom" has been used for polypores, puffballs, jelly fungi, coral fungi, bracket fungi, stinkhorns, and cup fungi. Thus, the term mushroom is more one of common application to macroscopic fungal fruiting bodies than one having precise taxonomic meaning. There are approximately 14,000 described species of mushrooms.
The terms "mushroom" and "toadstool" go back centuries and were never precisely defined, nor was there consensus on application.
The term "toadstool" was often, but not exclusively, applied to poisonous mushrooms or to those that have the classic umbrella-like cap-and-stem form. Between 1400 and 1600 A.D., the terms tadstoles, frogstooles, frogge stoles, tadstooles, tode stoles, toodys hatte, paddockstool, puddockstool, paddocstol, toadstoole, and paddockstooles sometimes were used synonymously with mushrom, mushrum, muscheron, mousheroms, mussheron, or musserouns.
The term "mushroom" and its variations may have been derived from the French word mousseron in reference to moss (mousse). There may have been a direct connection to toads (in reference to poisonous properties) for toadstools. However, there is no clear-cut delineation between edible and poisonous fungi, so that a "mushroom" may be edible, poisonous, or unpalatable. The term "toadstool" is nowadays used in storytelling when referring to poisonous or suspect mushrooms. The classic example of a toadstool is Amanita muscaria.
Many species of mushrooms seemingly appear overnight, growing or expanding rapidly. This phenomenon is the source of several common expressions in the English language including "to mushroom" or "mushrooming" (expanding rapidly in size or scope) and "to pop up like a mushroom" (to appear unexpectedly and quickly). In actuality all species of mushrooms take several days to form primordial mushroom fruitbodies, though they do expand rapidly by the absorption of fluids.
The cultivated mushroom as well as the common field mushroom initially form a minute fruiting body, referred to as the pin stage because of their small size. Slightly expanded they are called buttons, once again because of the relative size and shape. Once such stages are formed, the mushroom can rapidly pull in water from its mycelium and expand, mainly by inflating preformed cells that took several days to form in the primordia.
Similarly, there are even more ephemeral mushrooms, like Parasola plicatilis ( formerly Coprinus plicatlis), that literally appear overnight and may disappear by late afternoon on a hot day after rainfall. The primordia form at ground level in lawns in humid spaces under the thatch and after heavy rainfall or in dewy conditions balloon to full size in a few hours, release spores, and then collapse. They "mushroom" to full size.
The slang term "mushrooms" is a gang-related term for victims accidentally shot as collateral damage simply because they popped up suddenly, as do fungal mushrooms.
Not all mushrooms expand overnight; some grow very slowly and add tissue to their fruitbodies by growing from the edges of the colony or by inserting hyphae.
Though mushroom fruiting bodies are short-lived, the underlying mycelium can itself be long-lived and massive. A colony of Armillaria ostoyae in Malheur National Forest in the United States is estimated to be 2,400 years old, possibly older, and spans an estimated 2,200 acres. Most of the fungus is underground and in decaying wood or dying tree roots in the form of white mycelia combined with black shoelace-like rhizomorphs that bridge colonized separated woody substrates.
Edible mushrooms are used extensively in cooking, in many cuisines (notably Chinese, European, and Japanese). Though mushrooms are commonly thought to have little nutritional value, many species are high in fibre and provide vitamins such as thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, biotin, cobalamins, ascorbic acid. Though not normally a significant source of vitamin D, some mushrooms can become significant sources after exposure to ultraviolet light, though this also darkens their skin. Mushrooms are also a source of some minerals, including iron, selenium, potassium and phosphorous.
Most mushrooms that are sold in supermarkets have been commercially grown on mushroom farms. The most popular of these, Agaricus bisporus, is generally considered safe for most people to eat because it is grown in controlled, sterilized environments, though some individuals do not tolerate it well. Several varieties of A. bisporus are grown commercially, including whites, crimini, and portabello. Other cultivated species now available at many grocers include shiitake, maitake or hen-of-the-woods, oyster, and enoki.
There are a number of species of mushroom that are poisonous, and although some resemble certain edible species, eating them could be fatal. Eating mushrooms gathered in the wild is risky and should not be undertaken by individuals not knowledgeable in mushroom identification, unless the individuals limit themselves to a relatively small number of good edible species that are visually distinctive. However even A.Bisporus contains 'agaritine' which metabolises when eaten into hydrazine, which is carcinogenic, but this chemical is largely or completely removed by cooking.
More generally, and particularly with gilled mushrooms, separating edible from poisonous species requires meticulous attention to detail; there is no single trait by which all toxic mushrooms can be identified, nor one by which all edible mushrooms can be identified.
People who collect mushrooms for consumption are known as mycophagists, and the act of collecting them for such is known as mushroom hunting, or simply "mushrooming".
Of central interest with respect to the chemical properties of mushrooms is the fact that many species produce secondary metabolites that render them toxic, mind-altering, or even bioluminescent.
Although there are only a small number of deadly species, several others can cause particularly severe and unpleasant symptoms.
Toxicity likely plays a role in protecting the function of the basidiocarp: the mycelium has expended considerable energy and protoplasmic material to develop a structure to efficiently distribute its spores. One defense against consumption and premature destruction is the evolution of chemicals that render the mushroom inedible, either causing the consumer to vomit (see emetics) the meal, or to learn to avoid consumption altogether.
Psilocybin mushrooms possess psychedelic properties. They are commonly known as "magic mushrooms" "mush" or "shrooms" and are available in smart shops in many parts of the world, though some countries have outlawed their sale. They have recently been found to induce profound mystical experiences that give meaning to the subjects several months later.
Because of their psychoactive properties, some mushrooms have played a role in native medicine, where they have been used in an attempt to effect mental and physical healing, and to facilitate visionary states. One such ritual is the Velada ceremony. A practitioner of traditional mushroom use is the shaman and curandera (priest-healer) María Sabina.
Psilocybe mushrooms are not the only psychoactive fungi. Amanita muscaria pictured above is also psychoactive. The active constituents are Ibotenic acid and Muscimol. The mushroom is traditionally dried in the sun to transform the Ibotenic acid into the more psychoactive Muscimol. Drying renders the mushroom safer and less likely to cause negative side effects.
Currently, many species of mushrooms and fungi used in folk medicine for thousands of years are under intense study by ethnobotanists and medical researchers. Maitake, shiitake, chaga, and reishi are prominent among those being researched for their potential anti-cancer, anti-viral, or immunity-enhancing properties.
Psilocybin, originally an extract of certain psychedelic mushrooms, is being studied for its ability to help people suffering from mental disease, such as obsessive-compulsive disorder. Minute amounts have been reported to stop cluster and migraine headaches.
Some fungi, types of polypores loosely called mushrooms, have been used as fire starters (known as tinder fungi). Ötzi the Iceman was found carrying such fungi.
Mushrooms and other fungi will likely play an increasingly important role in the development of effective biological remediation and filtration technologies. The US Patent and Trademark Office can be searched for patents related to the latest developments in mycoremediation and mycofiltration.
Mushrooms feature prominently in popular culture due to their stereotypical cartoonish appearance. Examples include the Badgers flash animation and the 1-up mushrooms in Super Mario Brothers.

I am sick and tired of listening to science talk about religion and religion talk about science. Science was once trying to break free of the church and its practitioners would fight and die in the church arena. Science has its own arena now where it makes its own rules based on logic and reason. Every issue of existence anyone can dream up can be examined and everyone's input stands or falls on its merits. In a few centuries, science has assembled an impressive understanding of the universe that has yielded comfy lives and given each generation more and more to dream with. However, science still suffers from post traumatic stress syndrome after its many years of captivity. Why would so many scientifically minded people choose to debate religious issues? Why take on God's omnipotence or the problem of evil? Why would an understanding of the world built entirely by science have a problem with evil? What does scientific logic and reason say about where and how God fits in? And what about any ongoing role God may have if there's a God at all to talk about? Where does determinism end and free will begin? Why ask this of one of the name brand religious deities whose omnipotence has an embarrassing problem with evil?
We're not in the church anymore. No one knows that more than the church. When we beat on the church, it's from outside. Perhaps we need the emotional release or maybe we're just giddy from no longer having to consider if something weighs more or less than a duck. Philosophy is still obsessed with bringing religion to justice. As if there is still a reason to sort out what so many have called a fantasy world now that we're not trapped in it anymore. Granted there is an ongoing socio-political struggle as society becomes more secular, and more issues get considered from a scientific perspective. This obsession has only hampered the struggle. It starts with a simple presumption. Many patrons have expressed it. It goes like this…
I think the burden of proof should rest on the shoulders of anyone making a claim incongruous with science.
Anyone who agrees the burden of proof should be on religion lives in a world that is described by science. Proof would have to be scientific fact. Things would have to be proven to be scientific, and logically so. But this would prove nothing to the religious. Their burden is different. Proof would have to be revealed truth. Spelled out clearly in words, or natural phenomena. There is always just enough opportunity for the supernatural to cloud whatever apparent "scientific logic" that might seem compelling. But religion isn't just slippery and evasive. It is so contextually different that it renders scientific logic irrelevant even though the same human mental faculty of reason produces either persuasion.
"Archeological evidence all over the earth show that our history differs from religious text."
"God put archeological evidence all over the earth to test our faith."
"Free will is a challenging problem for logic."
"Free will can only result in personal corruption. We must submit our will to God."
"Faith must hide from the scrutiny of doubt."
"Faith will set you free from your doubts."
There is a presumption that there is an all encompassing reason that informs all of the universe everywhere and both sides lay claim to it. Both sides rely on faith that theirs is an all encompassing reason. Religion embraces this openly. Science was too freshly traumatized by too much history to trust faith. If asked to describe reality completely, how quickly would even the most scientific among us find that our description exceeds what we know and relies on things we do not personally understand. We know of people who are very accomplished at understanding a particular part of reality that, in the aggregate, make understanding an option for the rest of us. We are of course confident that if we did take the time to understand, we could, because science is reasonable. That confidence is fundamental to assuming the scientific view and betrays its kinship with religion. All participants, without knowing everything there is to know, made a choice knowing that they could not know everything about what they were choosing. With what they did know, they decided the foundation was sound. Or perhaps their social environment made it a choice based on trust or expediency. Each side adheres to its conviction that their broader system, the part beyond them, is eternal and perfect. Either belief is a gamble that, if lost, could only have consequences for one's afterlife. Which means this game will never be called for anyone alive and it could go on forever.
Science may one day proclaim itself victorious by proving logically that God doesn't exist, but that would change few personal beliefs. God would not exist in science. Why do that? God would still be welcome in religion. Religion could still prove to itself that God exists. Such a pointless gesture would only further polarize the two sides. Is there any logical necessity for logic to disprove God? Does any one really think the religious right is just going to fold because of a grammatical equation? Does a godless world that wobbles aimlessly from determinism to random chance make a good recruitment tool? Why doesn't a self-punishing logic appeal to more people? Can we do better than a genetically induced Illusion of self leading a random life of angry contemplation and loyalty to reason? We hold Occam's Razor to our throats.
This isn't about valuing faith over reason or vice versa. In matters of faith or reason science is religion's equal. The reason they're in charge is because they can freely make a leap of faith. They value experience over information, and so must we.

Comments about Continental X-King Supersonic 26" Tire:
I used this tire in conditions were the ground was frozen and ice/snow patches were scatterred throughout the trail. I live in Illinois and hadn't gone out b/c I had small block 8's on my fs bike and we'd had snow on the ground for a while. Most people here are riding fatbikes n 29ers this time of year. The addition of these tires let me rip it in extreme conditions, no fat bike needed here broj. They have great grip and still feel fast like my former sb8's. I've also used nevegals in the past and currently ignitors on my hardtail, the continentals feel faster w/the same amount of grip. I'm running tubes w/them and its all good. Get the good ones, they are worth it, you wont regret your purchase.

Any conventional medication can have side effects. These side effects are described and reported after drug trials and research studies have been conducted. Side effects are further reported and evaluated after the marketing of the medication. Information about drug components, interactions, usage in pregnancy, while breastfeeding, for pediatric patients, and dosing limits are outlined and made available in standard references for doctors treating patients. Furthermore, the formulations of the drugs must satisfy strict quality control standards to ensure conformity. These medications regularly contain virtually uniform quantities and ratios of substances.
In contrast to conventional medications, unconventional treatments (such as herbs) have little or no actual scientific basis so doctors can guide their patients regarding proper usage or potential toxicity. There are no standardized references and most of the herbal formulations have not been analyzed, are not uniform, and have not been quality controlled. One batch can be very different from the next.
Moreover, even if a given herb has a known toxicity, the manufacturer may or may not warn consumers. Manufacturers are not required to alert consumers to known dangers.
The point is that these "supplements" are not sanctioned, regulated, or supervised by any agency.
Data is coming, although slowly. Dr. Lucinda Miller of Texas Tech University Health Sciences reviewed known herb-drug interactions. Her review was published for doctors in the medical journal Archives of Internal Medicine. The list that follows is derived from this article and includes summaries of various herbs with particular focus on potential herb-drug interactions.
