The State of LGBT Health in Colorado
Ed. Note: Cross-posted from the HealthCare.gov blog.
All of us hope and expect to be provided care and treated well by the health care professionals we rely on every day to keep us healthy. Unfortunately, far too often, lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) Americans are denied care or treated discriminatorily simply because of their sexual orientation or gender identity.
Last week, I had the opportunity to host a Conversation on LGBT Health in Denver, Colorado, in partnership with the One Colorado Education Fund. One Colorado recently completed a comprehensive study to discover and document the state of LGBT health and wellness in Colorado. The study surveyed nearly 1,300 LGBT Coloradans who shared their personal health care stories and experiences.
Marguerite Salazar, HHS Regional Director (Region VIII), speaks at "A Conversation on LGBT Health", January 19, 2012 in Denver, CO (photo courtesy of Jess Woodrum/ONE Colorado). January 19, 2012. (by Jess Woodrum/ONE Colorado)
One participant stated, "A lot of people might not come out to their doctor because it's very scary. You don't know how people will react." Another respondent stated, "You can't be healthy if you have to hide who you are. Or if you think you have to hide who you are because you don't know if it's safe."
According to the study:
- 21 percent of the LGBT respondents and 53 percent of the transgender community were refused care by doctors or other health workers
- 27 percent of transgender respondents do not have health insurance
- 74 percent of respondents reported a lack of or limited health insurance
- 83 percent of transgender respondents reported healthcare expenses to be a barrier to seeking services
But thanks to the Affordable Care Act, the new health reform law passed by Congress and signed into law by President Obama, starting in 2014, it will be illegal for insurance companies to deny access to anyone who is seeking health insurance. Through expansions in coverage, and new consumer protections in the Patient's Bill of Rights, consumers will have more control over their health care decisions. But we know we can do more.
We have made great strides in recent years in understanding that LGBT Americans face real and significant health disparities. We also know that it is possible to begin addressing these disparities. It will require continued recognition, research, and access to resources -- specific attention from health care providers and public health professionals committed to advancing LGBT health.
The Obama Administration has made LGBT health and well-being a priority. For example, last year, following the direction of the President, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) released new rules requiring all hospitals receiving Medicare or Medicaid funds to allow individuals to choose who can visit them in the hospital, including same-sex partners. And last year, Secretary Sebelius committed to working across HHS to improve the health and well-being of all LGBT Americans.
This is just the beginning of what can be accomplished with the hard work and dedication of our community partners, like One Colorado Education Fund. Although we know there is much work still to be done, I am proud to work with so many talented people who wish to continue to improve the lives of all Americans, including LGBT individuals and families.

This past weekend (May 31st to June 1st, 2013), Quinnae and I had the pleasure of attending and presenting at the 2nd Annual Feminists in Games Workshop in Vancouver, British Columbia at The Centre for Digital Media. This interdisciplinary workshop brings together a wide array of academics, developers, industry professionals and activists who work on feminist issues in games and technology.
This year, we tripled the attendance of the 1st Annual FiG Workshop. The weekend was also a historic occasion in The Border House history as well because it marked the first time Quinnae and I could meet in person. I could dedicate this entire post to describing how much fun it was to hang out with Quinnae in Vancouver but instead I'll share a brief run-down of the workshop proceedings!
If I had to select one theme of FiG 2013, it would be this: as feminists in games, we are excited about the exponential growth of our movement over the last year but we are also realizing the need to develop new strategies to deal with increasing amounts of resistance and harassment. As feminist scholars, activists, developers and professionals continue to challenge the medium and the culture surrounding it, others seem to be clinging more firmly than ever to conservative traditions of exclusivity.
The three keynotes were by T.L. Taylor (MIT), Brenda Laurel (UC-Santa Cruz) with Kirsten Forbes (Silicon Sisters) and Anita Sarkeesian (Feminist Frequency). T.L. Taylor compared the operations of hegemonic masculinity in physical sports and in the e-sports community. Although geek masculinity may seem to be at a distance from hegemonic norms of masculinity in some respects, T.L. Taylor argued that geek masculinity entails a repetition of the same exclusionary gestures that constitute it as an alternative masculinity in the first place.
Brenda Laurel and Kirsten Forbes discussed their work making games for women and girls. Brenda Laurel has been making games for girls since the 1990s (which you can read more about in this archived feature in Wired) and Kirsten Forbes just co-founded Silicon Sisters in 2010. Together, these two designers discussed their differing approaches to serving a female audience and reflected on how the landscape for "girl games" has changed over the last twenty years.
Anita Sarkeesian (who just released her second video in the Damsels in Distress series) spoke about the harassment she has received since the start of her Kickstarter campaign to fund Feminist Frequency. Anita reported that her harassers shared evidence of their deeds in comments threads and forums as if they were badges of honor. She also argued that we need to stop conceptualizing harassment as mere "trolling" and instead use more specific language to describe the harassment (e.g. "sexist," "racist," "homophobic," etc.). Anita also pointed out that most websites have "few mechanisms for accountability" and, as such, crying "It's just the internet" can no longer function as a valid excuse for allowing web vitriol to appear in forums and comments threads.
More On Harassment
Several of the individual presentations at FiG also addressed the harassment of women in both virtual and physical game-related spaces. Using legal definitions of sexual harassment, Nina Huntemann argued that the #1ReasonWhy tweets reveal a sweeping culture of harassment in game spaces while Kelly Bergstrom honed in on anti-feminist rhetoric that circulates on Reddit through image macros.
Mitu Khandaker and Emily Flynn-Jones spoke about their work on DearAda.com, an online letter-writing series they curate that allows women in games to safely share their experiences. Grace gave a presentation on her experience running Fat, Ugly or Slutty, a website that catalogs sexist messages on XBoxLive and PSN. And Celia Pearce capped this theme of the conference off by reviewing sexist incidents in games over the past year and offering some strategies for change.
On Positive Steps
Despite the persistence of exclusionary norms in gaming culture, more women and feminist-identified folks are making games than ever before. As a case in point, Hannah Epstein, Alex Leitch and Emma Westecott presented their work on the game PsXXYborg, a psychedelic, multi-screen avatar-less gaming experience.
Cecily Carver, Helen Kennedy and Alison Harvey also reported on their successes running women-focused game jams in feminist gaming spaces across the world. Cecily is co-director of Dames Making Games in Toronto, Helen ran the XX Game Jam in Bristol and Alison Harvey took the ethos of Dames Making Games to the Pixelles in Montreal.
A panel of scholars and activists led by Erica Meiners (and featuring Shana Agid, Sozan Savehilaghi and Harsha Walia) stressed the continuing necessity of radical politics for those of us working in games and technology.
On Gaming Culture
Several presentations offered in-depth analyses of particular facets of gaming culture. Victoria Hungerford and Kari Storla presented on a panel about the "gamer girl" identity. Victoria and Kari pushed beyond a description of the kind of harassment that gamer girls receive to offer a complex analysis of the "gamer girl" as a flexible and strategic political identity that changes contextually. Some gay men and genderqueer folks, for example, have adopted the "gamer girl" identity as a way to locate themselves within gaming culture at large.
Sara Downing explored representations of Chinese and Japanese female characters in games, noting that their gender identity and sexuality are often seen as more definitive features than their race. And Catherine Goodfellow gave a primarily North American and British audience a glimpse into Russian gaming culture. She also treated us to a picture of a shirtless Vladmir Putin.
Jessica Soler-Benonie and Frédérique Krupa brought in-depth ethnographic research to FiG. Jessica presented on her work interviewing female MMO players while Frédérique presented results of an extensive personality study of of women working in the tech industry using a Myers-Briggs test.
(I couldn't go in-depth on each presentation at FiG but Lillian Cohen-Moore has created a Storify of the entire conference in two parts [here and here] that can fill in the details I've had to omit!)
The Border House at FiG 2013
In my own presentation at FiG, "Teaching with Games in a Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies Classroom," I re-capped the teaching activities I have been blogging about on The Border House (here and here) and shared what I have learned from them. I also speculated that video games' focus on object collision limits both their expressive potential and their relevance to feminist pedagogical projects. I have written a bit about this idea before in the first issue of Zoya Street's fantastic Memory Insufficient, but I expanded those thoughts for the audience at FiG. (There is a Storify of my presentation available here.)
The loquacious Quinnae (better known around academic parts as Katherine Cross) gave a talk entitled "Bending the Rainbow: How the Feminist Prism Reveals Gaming Solutions." In this stirring speech, Quinnae argued that there is a Möbius strip effect in the rhetoric of "reality" when we talk about online harassment: the Internet is real enough to hurt us but, when we call out the causes of our pain, we are told that the Internet is "not real enough" for our wounds to be taken seriously. She also refuted the notion that anonymity was behind bad behavior on the internet, stressing that anonymity also protects marginalized groups online. Throughout, Quinnae argued that a feminist analysis of social structures would be uniquely equipped to address structural problems in online gaming spaces.
Concluding Thoughts
The workshop as a whole was exhilarating; Quinnae and I were both energized by spending two days in a room packed to the brim with feminists who were invested in changing the medium. And I sincerely hope Quinnae will agree to be my roommate again!
As I waited in line to use the washroom, I overheard someone say, "This is the first conference I've ever attended where there has been a line for the women's washroom." This joking moment, to me, captured the spirit of the conference. For most of the year, many of us work in male-dominated institutions and environments. Feminists in Games gives us an opportunity to come together and experience a space in which our perspective matters. I can't wait for next year!

tgace thanks for the awnser. ny gun laws bother me to no end! The debacle over mags is uncalled for. For instance I had previously read that if there is no date stamp then the manufacture date would be determined by componet design. So would that mean I can't change out the followers in a pre ban mag? If I could get my family to go I would just move!
I purchased my first AR-15 about 2 years ago and loved it so much I bought a pre ban 2 months later. I don't know how I ever lived without them.

For about 50 more you can rock a chrome lined bore from PSA. This one only has the nitrided barrel. It has never failed on my using brass, but I do have some premature wear around the gas rings. Well, I sold it to a friend anticipating a move to CA, and he tells me there is gas ring wear.

'Brothers and Sisters': The Sixth Season That Could Have Been
Brothers and Sisters was just one of the many shows canceled last week by ABC. The series had hoped to return in the fall with a short season that would allow them to wrap up storylines, but the executive producer of the ABC drama knew there was a chance the series would not return, and they planned an episode to end the season that could also serve as an end to the series. If the series had continued on though, there were plans in the works for season six.
David Marshall Grant said the following about those plans to TV Line: "We were definitely interested in Brody's kids. I thought that his daughter would have been a great character. … Sarah had new brothers and sisters. So we were really interested in exploring Sara's new family with Brody and how that could present conflict with the Walkers, because she now would have one foot in two worlds. Kevin and Scotty had finally created this family that they always wanted, so we were looking forward to telling the story of a gay family with two kids and what that means in terms of the world that we live in today."
Another story line would have involved Kitty and her pregnancy. She would have to refuse treatment if she kept the baby and her cancer came back. Calista Flockhart was a big part of the issue with the series continuing though. ABC tried to bring her back for less episodes to save money, but in the end the series and ABC could not reach an agreement. That meant the end to this family drama. There were new faces and new places to go if the series did continue on for another year, but Brothers and Sisters has aired for the final time. The Walkers will continue to live their lives without the watchful eyes of their fans. Would you have wanted to see a sixth season for this ABC drama?

Combat Dry Skin with Herbal Hydrating Serum
Mario Badescu Herbal Hydrating Serum ($30.00) is my go-to for ultra hydrating spot treatment. Sometimes when I use acne treatment products, my skin dries out in certain spots, so to counteract the drying factor of many acne treatments, I always have this at the ready. I use it in conjunction with my usual moisturizer for an extra boost of hydration. I really feel like it "locks" in the moisture. According to Mario Badescu, the Hydrating Serum is good for all skin types, and it can be used as a lightweight hydrator for oily skin as well. A little goes a long way, so for me, the price tag is well worth it!

I've been wanting to try this place since it opened but was put off by poor reviews. I wound up there for the jazz brunch yesterday and couldn't have been happier. Live music is terrific. The room is gorgeous. The service is outstanding and friendly without being patronizing and the food was VERY good. It may not be a foodie paradise with lots of unusual items, but we loved what we had and the other food we saw being served at other tables also looked great. I had huevos rancheros that were delicious. There are rolls brought for the table that were so delicious I went off my diet to eat them. My companion had eggs florentine and asked for the sauce and biscuit on the side. The biscuit was so delicious we were enthralled. This place deserves a second chance. The room is beautiful and oozes a real retro NYC feel.

You know, I went here without reading the reviews and I am glad I did! Yes, its pricey...Yes, its busy...but this was well worth the money! And there is something to be said about a place that is busy! ;) I loved their chicken paillard and I went with a group of 8 for lunch...everyone enjoyed the food which was apparent by the empty plates that got collected in the end! I am not too sure why others didnt like it but so far I am planning to go back for dinner (I hope it still impresses me!)

This was supposed to be the answer to the lack of decent places in the area, but is actually very similar to the other options - expensive, mediocre and touristy.

Big space with a deco feel, but the food was not very good. It is also very expensive - standard drinks are $20 and not big like local steakhouses, just a measured shot. I couldn't believe the bar bill actually.

Being a true foodie, my tastes range from the excellent hamburgers at Minetta Tavern and DB Bistro to the squab and foie gras at The Modern so I like to keep an open mind when it comes to taste, regardless of what the menu (and reviews) say. In this situation, however, I must agree with some of the other reviewers: The Lambs Club needs a bit of work to rise to the good opinion offered by Timeout Magazine a few months ago. What do I mean by work? First of all, the cocktails are extremely overpriced and extremely "underwhelming" in their mixtures and their size! I had them make a vodka martini, straight up, dirty. The young waitress asked "do you want that with olives?" I received my martini in an old fashioned "champagne" glass with olives that had food coloring! The foie gras appetizer was OK, actually nice and creamy. The dinner entrees needed help: my friend had the lamb saddle which appeared overcooked even though she requested medium rare; the size was also more consistent with a "lamb bracelet"! I had the cod over pork belly with clams and leeks. First of all there was 1 leek and 1-1/2 clams! The cod was good, though overcooked. The pork belly "taste" underneath was good as well. The waitress brought a fish knife out without a regular knife; now a fish knife is great with whole fish however this entree actually needed a regular knife, which, in all honesty, was dull: I had trouble cutting up the piece of leek. Dessert was good: choclate ginger cake with pears. The atmosphere was, well, c/w a hotel restaurant in midtown. Very casual in a place that did not want to be casual.There was an attendant in the washroom (!) which I have also encountered at other midtown hotel restaurants. Given the place, clearly absurd! This restaurant is OK, however it is NOT up to par with prices and atmosphere thay are trying to attain. I rated the service high because the staff was very attentive and did their best. Any foodie who eats in Manhattan/NYC will be hard pressed to want to return to this place.

This is one club you do not want to be a member. Even armed with a corporate card I felt it was just too expensive for the quality of food and the service. The waiter tried to explain that the chef uses simple methods to prepare local foods - not sure why this would mean more pricey than complex methods to prepare rare foods. Anyway, had the lamb saddle which was OK but small and nothing special. Sides were stingy and bland, and the service does not match the prices. Very nice space with not much else to offer.

Brought to partners for dinner. A whiskey on the rocks was $20 and the bartender used a thimble to pour it. Just because the bartenders are wearing white jackets doesn't mean you can rob people. Sure enough, not even all of the spirit made it into the glass. Chicken was $30 and reminded me of my college cafeteria. Waitress was a sweetheart but totally clueless. Nice space but stuffy. Will not return.

The sizzle of a burger or steak on the grill this father's day will cost you.
Some cuts of beef are priced at historic highs and that means you'll pay more at the store and at restaurants.
In the last month Three Rivers Brewery and Pizzeria in Farmington had to make the tough call to raise prices after three years of absorbing price increases.
Particularly prices on beef.
"So now all of a sudden our piece of pie got this big and now you can imagine what happened to supply and demand when your supply is only this much when it used to be this much. Obviously the price skyrockets," said owner, Bob Beckley.
The drought has a lot to do with it. There are fewer cattle because farmers can't afford to feed as many.
As the price of beef has gone up, restaurants are looking for alternative food options that aren't as expensive and that customers can still enjoy.
"Instead of using a top sirloin, or a rib eye, or a filet, maybe they can use a flat iron steak or some other cut of beef that may not be quite as expensive," said Bob Tucker of Shamrock Foods.
Another alternative for restaurants is to offer more pork and chicken dishes, which is most often cheaper to buy.
Three Rivers is trying to cushion the blow of higher prices by offering customers more 'cooking from scratch.'
"We're doing things I guess back to the old fashioned way a little and that's one of the ways around not paying for the high costs of prepackaged foods, " said Beckley.
It's this home cooked quality that three rivers hopes its customers can appreciate, even if prices have beefed up.

Apparently, according to the 'experts'. men lie six times a day and women lie only three times a day. So why and what are we lying about?
If you asked me, I'd swear that I don't lie... in fact, I would say that I am brutally honest... often to the point of being intimidating (that's what the kids around here say). I just say it's because I've been around here forever, am 'older' than everyone else and I've earned the right to intimidate the youngsters!
Anyway, I guess, according to the 'experts', I do lie on occasion. Here's what we are supposedly lying about:
1. I'm fine (when asked how we are)
2. This old thing? I've had it forever! (when asked, by spouse, when we got an article of clothing they haven't seen before)
3. Oh, but I got it on sale! (when asked about how much we paid for something)
I'd say from these, I'm only guilty of number one... I don't go shopping!
Guys on the other hand lie about:
1. I'm fine... (same as the ladies)
2. This is my last drink (uh huh)
3. No, that doesn't make you look fat! (good answer)
4. I'm on the way! (not even near the door)
So, lying, but not exactly deal breaking stuff. This information is about as useful as a reality show is real! Thanks, Dr. Phil.

BOSTON - Sam Carr (Yorktown Heights, N.Y.), Jen Stamp (Tyngsboro, Mass.) and Katie White (Glens Falls, N.Y.) of the University of New Hampshire field hockey team were voted to the America East All-Conference First Team, the league announced Thursday night. Christine Buckley (Walpole, Mass.) and Brittany Schneider (Middletown, Md.) received Second Team honors.
Carr has developed into the team's top defensive player in her four-year Wildcat career. She stepped into a starting role as a sophomore and has been in the starting lineup for all 20 games this season. Carr has scored seven goals in her career, including one this season, and three of those tallies have been game-winning goals. She has been the backbone of UNH's defense this year as well as an emotional leader for the team.
Stamp, a repeat selection to the First Team, is the captain of the 2003 Wildcats and has been a driving force behind the offense the past two seasons. She leads this year's team in assists and is second in both goals (eight) and points (25). Her season highlights include career highs of three goals and seven points vs UMBC. Stamp has a point in 10 of 20 games, including five of the final seven. Her 20 career assists ranks seventh on UNH's all-time list and 72 points is eighth.
White, the 2002 America East Rookie of the Year, leads the 'Cats in goals (21) and points (44). Those numbers rank fourth in the nation in goals, eighth in goals per game, eighth in points and 13th in points per game. White's 21 goals is No. 2 on UNH's single-season list, as is her 44 points. Her season highlights include a nine-point (four goals, assist) performance vs. UMBC and a seven-game goal-scoring streak.
Buckley is averaging 8.00 saves per game, which ranks No. 2 in America East. She has started all 20 games this season and has a 10-10 record with a 3.03 GAA and a .744 save percentage. In six conference games, Buckley was 5-1 with a 1.09 GAA and a .818 save percentage. Her season highlights include a shutout vs. Dartmouth College and back-to-back 17-save performances against Ohio University and Michigan.
Schneider is another steadying force on UNH's defensive unit who excels on both penalty corner units. She recorded a point in four of the last five regular-season games and scored two goals on penalty strokes, including the game-winning goal in overtime vs. Maine. Schneider's four goals and 10 points are both single-season bests.
UNH (10-10, 5-1 America East) is the No. 2 seed in the America East Championships and will play third-seeded Maine in a Nov. 7 (3:30 p.m.) semifinal game at Northeastern University's Sweeney Field.

ENGLEWOOD – J.D. Walton not only has a challenge ahead of him, he's trying to make history.
According to the Denver Broncos' public relations staff, since the 1970 merger the Broncos have never had a rookie center start the first game of the season. Walton, a third-round pick, has an excellent chance to be the first. The Broncos have had just five rookie linemen start the season opener. Since 1992, the only rookie offensive lineman to start the Broncos' opener is Ryan Clady.

UPDATE: Police investigating wreck on 41-North in Henderson
Gleaner staff
City police are investigating a one-vehicle crash in the area of Barker Road and the U.S. 41-North strip Tuesday in which two people were injured, and traffic was stymied for roughly 45 minutes.
A third person involved in the accident suffered self-inflicted injuries and may be charged in connection with the wreck, police said.
Law enforcement said the accident occurred around 1:43 p.m. when an SUV driven by Chad Henson, 36, 521 N. Adams St., was southbound on the strip.
Witnesses told officers that it appeared that the occupants of the SUV were fighting. The vehicle swerved off the road and overturned, striking a telephone pole, authorities said.
A passenger in the vehicle, Roger Redden, 34, Princeton, Ind., exited the SUV, "behaving in a bizarre manner," a news release said.
Redden crossed U.S. 41 on foot and was located by police officers at Dempewolf.
Redden allegedly tried to get away from police and had to be subdued, officials said. Due to his self-inflicted injuries, Redden was taken into protective custody, police said.
Redden, Henson and another passenger, Ashley Brock, 28, Princeton, were transported to Methodist Hospital. Their conditions were immediately unavailable.
Police said Redden could face charges in connection with the accident.
A one-vehicle crash in the area of Barker Road and the U.S. 41 strip injured at least two people and slowed traffic in the southbound lanes for almost an hour.
Henderson police said the accident occurred around 1:43 p.m.
Witnesses told officers that the vehicle, an SUV, was traveling south on U.S. 41 and it appeared that its occupants were fighting.
The vehicle swerved and hit a telephone pole at Barker Road and U.S. 41, and flipped, authorities said.
Two people had to be extricated from the SUV, while a third person walked away from the accident, law enforcement said. He was located at Dempewolf, police said. Further information was immediately unavailable.
The investigation is continuing.

Arkansas lowers allowable bute level
The Arkansas Racing Commission on Tuesday adopted an amendment that lowers the allowable level of phenylbutazone, commonly called bute, in a horse's system, according to Ron Oliver, the organization's executive director. The change will go into effect with the start of the Oaklawn Park meet on Jan. 11.
Bute is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory. The new threshold level is 2.0 micrograms per milliliter of blood, said Oliver. The previous threshold had been 5.0 micrograms per milliliter of blood except in graded stakes, when the standard was 2.0.
Oliver said the change is one being made in several states.
In other business, the commission approved racing officials for the upcoming Oaklawn meet. Oliver said there was one change from last season. Kevin Seymore has been hired as the new track superintendent, replacing Jamie Richardson, who became the assistant track superintendent at Churchill Downs.
The wagering format for the Oaklawn meet was also approved, and there were no changes from last season, said Oliver.

Student sleuths on the case
Solving a good mystery often requires finding the right sleuth. Such was the case last summer for math Professor Stephen Bean and economics and business Professor Santhi Hejeebu.
Bean recently became curious about the history of a famous formula called the gamma function. He wondered why Leonhard Euler developed the unusual function, but found its history summed up in one vague sentence. He wanted to research the question and realized he could use the help of a student with an interest in both math and history.
Hejeebu, meanwhile, was curious about anecdotal accounts claiming prominent positions in powerful 18th-century English companies were bought and sold, rather than awarded on merit. Her expertise centers on the history of corporations, including the first multinational corporation, the English East India Company. She wanted to find a student to help her investigate the company's labor market systematically. While her research question fell into the realm of economics, Hejeebu knew it would take a special person to be able to scan periodicals from the period every day for 10 weeks straight.
"Unless you have the imagination to put yourself in that time and place, it's a real uphill battle," says Hejeebu. "The prose is turgid, thick, roundabout—not 21st-century business talk."
She recruited junior Alison Scharmota, an English major with no economics background but a strong interest in 18th-century literature.
"I really enjoy history and I wanted to stop and read, but I knew I couldn't," she says. This was especially a problem when reading periodicals from 1776.
Scharmota, of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, found few references to the East India Company but discovered much buying and selling of jobs in West Indian plantations, in Parliament, and in smaller firms. These surprising findings will move the research forward.
"If ever I endeavor to write a dissertation, this will be very good practice," she says.
Bean found his detective in senior Evan Eakins, a dual-major in math and classical studies. Eakins was well-versed in Greek and in math, but to follow a trail of 18th century correspondence, he first needed to learn Latin, a little French, and brush up on his rusty German. Eakins, who is from Renton, Wash., thinks he has unraveled the mystery of the gamma function. He has not only established a rationale for Euler's development of the idea, but also placed it within the context of renaissance European mathematicians and intellectuals whose ideas were flowing freely. "Unless we're missing something, this hasn't been written about before," says Bean.

Rx drug information, pharmaceutical research, clinical trials, news, and more
When used in pregnancy, ACE inhibitors can cause injury and even death to the developing fetus. When pregnancy is detected, Lotrel should be discontinued as soon as possible. See WARNINGS, Fetal/Neonatal Morbidity and Mortality.
Presumably because angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors affect the metabolism of eicosanoids and polypeptides, including endogenous bradykinin, patients receiving ACE inhibitors (including Lotrel) may be subject to a variety of adverse reactions, some of them serious. These reactions usually occur after one of the first few doses of the ACE inhibitor, but they sometimes do not appear until after months of therapy.
Head and Neck Angioedema: Angioedema of the face, extremities, lips, tongue, glottis, and larynx has been reported in patients treated with ACE inhibitors. In U.S. clinical trials, symptoms consistent with angioedema were seen in none of the subjects who received placebo and in about 0.5% of the subjects who received benazepril. Angioedema associated with laryngeal edema can be fatal. If laryngeal stridor or angioedema of the face, tongue, or glottis occurs, treatment with Lotrel should be discontinued and appropriate therapy instituted immediately. When involvement of the tongue, glottis, or larynx appears likely to cause airway obstruction, appropriate therapy, e.g., subcutaneous epinephrine injection 1:1000 (0.3-0.5 mL), should be promptly administered (see ADVERSE REACTIONS).
Intestinal Angioedema: Intestinal angioedema has been reported in patients treated with ACE inhibitors. These patients presented with abdominal pain (with or without nausea or vomiting); in some cases there was no prior history of facial angioedema and C-1 esterase levels were normal. The angioedema was diagnosed by procedures including abdominal CT scan or ultrasound, or at surgery, and symptoms resolved after stopping the ACE inhibitor. Intestinal angioedema should be included in the differential diagnosis of patients on ACE inhibitors presenting with abdominal pain.
Anaphylactoid Reactions During Desensitization: Two patients undergoing desensitizing treatment with hymenoptera venom while receiving ACE inhibitors sustained life-threatening anaphylactoid reactions. In the same patients, these reactions were avoided when ACE inhibitors were temporarily withheld, but they reappeared upon inadvertent rechallenge.
Anaphylactoid Reactions During Membrane Exposure: Anaphylactoid reactions have been reported in patients dialyzed with high-flux membranes and treated concomitantly with an ACE inhibitor. Anaphylactoid reactions have also been reported in patients undergoing low-density lipoprotein apheresis with dextran sulfate absorption.
Increased Angina and/or Myocardial Infarction: Rarely, patients, particularly those with severe obstructive coronary artery disease, have developed documented increased frequency, duration, and/or severity of angina or acute myocardial infarction on starting calcium channel blocker therapy or at the time of dosage increase. The mechanism of this effect has not been elucidated.
Lotrel can cause symptomatic hypotension. Like other ACE inhibitors, benazepril has been only rarely associated with hypotension in uncomplicated hypertensive patients. Symptomatic hypotension is most likely to occur in patients who have been volume and/or salt depleted as a result of prolonged diuretic therapy, dietary salt restriction, dialysis, diarrhea, or vomiting. Volume and/or salt depletion should be corrected before initiating therapy with Lotrel.
Since the vasodilation induced by amlodipine is gradual in onset, acute hypotension has rarely been reported after oral administration of amlodipine. Nonetheless, caution should be exercised when administering Lotrel as with any other peripheral vasodilator, particularly in patients with severe aortic stenosis.
In patients with congestive heart failure, with or without associated renal insufficiency, ACE inhibitor therapy may cause excessive hypotension, which may be associated with oliguria, azotemia, and (rarely) with acute renal failure and death. In such patients, Lotrel therapy should be started under close medical supervision; they should be followed closely for the first 2 weeks of treatment and whenever the dose of the benazepril component is increased or a diuretic is added or its dose increased.
If hypotension occurs, the patient should be placed in a supine position, and if necessary, treated with intravenous infusion of physiologic saline. Lotrel treatment usually can be continued following restoration of blood pressure and volume.
Another ACE inhibitor, captopril, has been shown to cause agranulocytosis and bone marrow depression, rarely in uncomplicated patients (incidence probably less than once per 10,000 exposures) but more frequently (incidence possibly as great as once per 1000 exposures) in patients with renal impairment, especially those who also have collagen-vascular diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus or scleroderma. Available data from clinical trials of benazepril are insufficient to show that benazepril does not cause agranulocytosis at similar rates. Monitoring of white blood cell counts should be considered in patients with collagen-vascular disease, especially if the disease is associated with impaired renal function.
ACE inhibitors can cause fetal and neonatal morbidity and death when administered to pregnant women. Several dozen cases have been reported in the world literature. When pregnancy is detected, Lotrel should be discontinued as soon as possible and monitoring of the fetal development should be performed on a regular basis.
The use of ACE inhibitors during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy has been associated with fetal and neonatal injury, including hypotension, neonatal skull hypoplasia, anuria, reversible or irreversible renal failure, and death. Oligohydramnios has also been reported, presumably resulting from decreased fetal renal function; oligohydramnios in this setting has been associated with fetal limb contractures, craniofacial deformation, and hypoplastic lung development. Prematurity, intrauterine growth retardation, and patent ductus arteriosus have also been reported, although it is not clear whether these occurrences were due to the ACE inhibitor exposure.
In addition, use of ACE inhibitors during the first trimester of pregnancy has been associated with a potentially increased risk of birth defects. In women planning to become pregnant, ACE inhibitors (including Lotrel) should not be used. Women of child-bearing age should be made aware of the potential risk and ACE inhibitors (including Lotrel) should only be given after careful counseling and consideration of individual risks and benefits.
Rarely (probably less often than once in every thousand pregnancies), no alternative to ACE inhibitors will be found. In these rare cases, the mothers should be apprised of the potential hazards to their fetuses, and serial ultrasound examinations should be performed to assess the intra-amniotic environment.
If oligohydramnios is observed, benazepril should be discontinued unless it is considered life-saving for the mother. Contraction stress testing (CST), a nonstress test (NST), or biophysical profiling (BPP) may be appropriate, depending upon the week of pregnancy. Patients and physicians should be aware, however, that oligohydramnios may not appear until after the fetus has sustained irreversible injury.
Infants with histories of in utero exposure to ACE inhibitors should be closely observed for hypotension, oliguria, and hyperkalemia. If oliguria occurs, attention should be directed toward support of blood pressure and renal perfusion. Exchange transfusion or peritoneal dialysis may be required as means of reversing hypotension and/or substituting for disordered renal function. Benazepril, which crosses the placenta, can theoretically be removed from the neonatal circulation by these means; there are occasional reports of benefit from these maneuvers, but experience is limited.
Lotrel has not been adequately studied in pregnant women. When rats received benazepril:amlodipine at doses ranging from 5:2.5 to 50:25 mg/kg/day, dystocia was observed with increasing dose-related incidence at all doses tested. On a mg/m2 basis, the 2.5 mg/kg/day dose of amlodipine is 3.6 times the amlodipine dose delivered when the maximum recommended dose of Lotrel is given to a 50-kg woman. Similarly, the 5 mg/kg/day dose of benazepril is approximately 2 times the benazepril dose delivered when the maximum recommended dose of Lotrel is given to a 50-kg woman.
No teratogenic effects were seen when benazepril and amlodipine were administered in combination to pregnant rats or rabbits. Rats received dose ratios up to 50:25 mg/kg/day (benazepril:amlodipine) (24 times the maximum recommended human dose on a mg/m2 basis, assuming a 50-kg woman). Rabbits received doses of up to 1.5:0.75 (benazepril:amlodipine) mg/kg/day; on a mg/m2 basis, this is 0.97 times the size of a maximum recommended dose of Lotrel given to a 50-kg woman.
Similar results were seen in animal studies involving benazepril alone and amlodipine alone.
Rarely, ACE inhibitors have been associated with a syndrome that starts with cholestatic jaundice and progresses to fulminant hepatic necrosis and (sometimes) death. The mechanism of this syndrome is not understood. Patients receiving ACE inhibitors who develop jaundice or marked elevations of hepatic enzymes should discontinue the ACE inhibitor and receive appropriate medical follow-up.
Impaired Renal Function: Lotrel should be used with caution in patients with severe renal disease.
When the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system is inhibited by benazepril, changes in renal function may be anticipated in susceptible individuals. In patients with severe congestive heart failure, whose renal function may depend on the activity of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, treatment with ACE inhibitors (including benazepril) may be associated with oliguria and/or progressive azotemia and (rarely) with acute renal failure and/or death.
In a small study of hypertensive patients with unilateral or bilateral renal artery stenosis, treatment with benazepril was associated with increases in blood urea nitrogen and serum creatinine; these increases were reversible upon discontinuation of benazepril therapy, concomitant diuretic therapy, or both. When such patients are treated with Lotrel, renal function should be monitored during the first few weeks of therapy.
Some benazepril-treated hypertensive patients with no apparent preexisting renal vascular disease have developed increases in blood urea nitrogen and serum creatinine, usually minor and transient, especially when benazepril has been given concomitantly with a diuretic. Dosage reduction of Lotrel may be required. Evaluation of the hypertensive patient should always include assessment of renal function (see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION).
Hyperkalemia: In U.S. placebo-controlled trials of Lotrel, hyperkalemia (serum potassium at least 0.5 mEq/L greater than the upper limit of normal) not present at baseline occurred in approximately 1.5% of hypertensive patients receiving Lotrel. Increases in serum potassium were generally reversible. Risk factors for the development of hyperkalemia include renal insufficiency, diabetes mellitus, and the concomitant use of potassium-sparing diuretics, potassium supplements, and/or potassium-containing salt substitutes.
Patients With Congestive Heart Failure: Although hemodynamic studies and a controlled trial in patients with NYHA Class II-III heart failure have shown that amlodipine did not lead to clinical deterioration as measured by exercise tolerance, left ventricular ejection fraction, and clinical symptomatology, studies have not been performed in patients with NYHA Class IV heart failure. In general, all calcium channel blockers should be used with caution in patients with heart failure.
Patients With Hepatic Failure: In patients with hepatic dysfunction due to cirrhosis, levels of benazeprilat are essentially unaltered. However, since amlodipine is extensively metabolized by the liver and the plasma elimination half-life (t1/2) is 56 hours in patients with impaired hepatic function, caution should be exercised when administering Lotrel to patients with severe hepatic impairment (see also WARNINGS).
Cough: Presumably due to the inhibition of the degradation of endogenous bradykinin, persistent nonproductive cough has been reported with all ACE inhibitors, always resolving after discontinuation of therapy. ACE inhibitor-induced cough should be considered in the differential diagnosis of cough.
Surgery/Anesthesia: In patients undergoing surgery or during anesthesia with agents that produce hypotension, benazepril will block the angiotensin II formation that could otherwise occur secondary to compensatory renin release. Hypotension that occurs as a result of this mechanism can be corrected by volume expansion.
Diuretics: Patients on diuretics, especially those in whom diuretic therapy was recently instituted, may occasionally experience an excessive reduction of blood pressure after initiation of therapy with Lotrel. The possibility of hypotensive effects with Lotrel can be minimized by either discontinuing the diuretic or increasing the salt intake prior to initiation of treatment with Lotrel.
Potassium Supplements and Potassium-Sparing Diuretics: Benazepril can attenuate potassium loss caused by thiazide diuretics. Potassium-sparing diuretics (spironolactone, amiloride, triamterene, and others) or potassium supplements can increase the risk of hyperkalemia. If concomitant use of such agents is indicated, they should be given with caution, and the patient's serum potassium should be monitored frequently.
Lithium: Increased serum lithium levels and symptoms of lithium toxicity have been reported in patients receiving ACE inhibitors during therapy with lithium. Lotrel and lithium should be coadministered with caution, and frequent monitoring of serum lithium levels is recommended.
Other: Benazepril has been used concomitantly with oral anticoagulants, beta-adrenergic-blocking agents, calcium-blocking agents, cimetidine, diuretics, digoxin, hydralazine, and naproxen without evidence of clinically important adverse interactions.
In clinical trials, amlodipine has been safely administered with thiazide diuretics, beta blockers, ACE inhibitors, long-acting nitrates, sublingual nitroglycerin, digoxin, warfarin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, antibiotics, and oral hypoglycemic drugs.
In vitro data in human plasma indicate that amlodipine has no effect on the protein binding of drugs tested (digoxin, phenytoin, warfarin, and indomethacin). Special studies have indicated that the coadministration of amlodipine with digoxin did not change serum digoxin levels or digoxin renal clearance in normal volunteers; that coadministration with cimetidine did not alter the pharmacokinetics of amlodipine; and that coadministration with warfarin did not change the warfarin-induced prothrombin response time.
No evidence of carcinogenicity was found when benazepril was given, via dietary administration, to rats and mice for 104 weeks at doses up to 150 mg/kg/day. On a body-weight basis, this dose is over 100 times the maximum recommended human dose; on a body-surface-area basis, this dose is 18 times (rats) and 9 times (mice) the maximum recommended human dose. No mutagenic activity was detected in the Ames test in bacteria, in an in vitro test for forward mutations in cultured mammalian cells, or in a nucleus anomaly test. At doses of 50-500 mg/kg/day (38-375 times the maximum recommended human dose on a body-weight basis; 6-61 times the maximum recommended dose on a body-surface-area basis), benazepril had no adverse effect on the reproductive performance of male and female rats.
Rats and mice treated with amlodipine in the diet for 2 years, at concentrations calculated to provide daily dosage levels of 0.5, 1.25, and 2.5 mg/kg/day, showed no evidence of carcinogenicity. For mice, but not for rats, the highest dose was close to the maximum tolerated dose. On a mg/m2 basis, this dose given to mice was approximately equal to the maximum recommended clinical dose. On the same basis, the same dose given to rats was approximately twice the maximum recommended clinical dose.
Mutagenicity studies with amlodipine revealed no drug-related effects at either the gene or chromosome levels.
There was no effect on the fertility of rats treated with amlodipine (males for 64 days and females for 14 days prior to mating) at doses up to 10 mg/kg/day (8 times the maximum recommended human dose of 10 mg on a mg/m2 basis, assuming a 50-kg person).
No adverse effects on fertility occurred when the benazepril:amlodipine combination was given orally to rats of either sex at dose ratios up to 15:7.5 mg/kg/day (benazepril:amlodipine), prior to mating and throughout gestation.
Pregnancy Categor y D: See WARNINGS, Fetal/Neonatal Morbidity and Mortality.
Minimal amounts of unchanged benazepril and of benazeprilat are excreted into the breast milk of lactating women treated with benazepril, so that a newborn child ingesting nothing but breast milk would receive less than 0.1% of the maternal doses of benazepril and benazeprilat.
It is not known whether amlodipine is excreted in human milk. In the absence of this information, it is recommended that nursing be discontinued while Lotrel is administered.
Of the total number of patients who received Lotrel in U.S. clinical studies of Lotrel, over 19% were 65 or older while about 2% were 75 or older. Overall differences in effectiveness or safety were not observed between these patients and younger patients. Clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients, but greater sensitivity of some older individuals cannot be ruled out.
Benazepril and benazeprilat are substantially excreted by the kidney. Because elderly patients are more likely to have decreased renal function, care should be taken in dose selection, and it may be useful to monitor renal function.
Amlodipine is extensively metabolized in the liver. In the elderly, clearance of amlodipine is decreased with resulting increases in peak plasma levels, elimination half-life and area-under-the-plasma-concentration curve. Thus a lower starting dose may be required in older patients (see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION).
Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients have not been established.

Last night, President Obama addressed the American people to make the case for war–in general. He was speaking to build support for military action against Bashar al-Assad's Syria, but he undermined that case by also highlighting the lack of urgency of such action, implying that the American people should support and Congress should approve action that would be either irresponsible or unnecessary at this point.
But he made a powerful case for the wars America has fought over his own objections. And he ruthlessly demolished whatever was left of Senator Obama's breezy moralist posturing that began disintegrating when it collided with reality and the responsibilities of statecraft four years ago. And though he tried studiously to avoid it, after four years as president, Obama was unable to make the case against Bush-era intervention without implicitly but unmistakably indicting his own. It may have been overshadowed by the "pinprick" comment, but the full context of that remark is revealing. Obama said:
Let me make something clear: The United States military doesn't do pinpricks.
Even a limited strike will send a message to Assad that no other nation can deliver. I don't think we should remove another dictator with force. We learned from Iraq that doing so makes us responsible for all that comes next. But a targeted strike can make Assad or any other dictator think twice before using chemical weapons.
If we learned from Iraq that removing a dictator with force makes us responsible for all that comes next, then surely Obama believes the U.S. takes at least some responsibility for the violence in the wake of the removal of Libya's Muammar Gaddafi. And lest the president or his supporters downplay the American role, here is how Obama himself sees the situation, as he expressed in a debate with Mitt Romney last year:
But you know, going back to Libya, because this is an example of — of how we make choices, you know, when we went into Libya and we were able to immediately stop the massacre there because of the unique circumstances and the coalition that we had helped to organize, we also had to make sure that Moammar Gadhafi didn't stay there. And to the governor's credit, you supported us going into Libya and the coalition that we organized. But when it came time to making sure that Gadhafi did not stay in power, that he was captured, Governor, your suggestion was that this was mission creep, that this was mission muddle.
Imagine if we had pulled out at that point. That — Moammar Gadhafi had more American blood on his hands than any individual other than Osama bin Laden. And so we were going to make sure that we finished the job. That's part of the reason why the Libyans stand with us. But we did so in a careful, thoughtful way, making certain that we knew who we were dealing with, that those forces of moderation on the ground were ones that we could work with. And we have to take the same kind of steady, thoughtful leadership when it comes to Syria. That's exactly what we're doing.
Unambiguous: our involvement in Libya was to remove Gaddafi from power and shepherd the political transition. And shame on anyone, goes the president's forceful argument, who would even suggest otherwise. Well, today is of course the anniversary not only of the September 11, 2001 attacks but also those carried out on our diplomatic mission in Benghazi last year.
And the situation there has not improved. As the Washington Post reported last week:
Even minor disputes escalate into frequent gun violence on the streets. Kidnappings and armed robberies are increasing, and government officials and others have been assassinated with guns and bombs. Militants and arms smugglers easily cross poorly protected borders shared with Niger and Chad….
"It's impossible," said Mahmoud Ibrahim Sherif, the Tripoli police chief, who blamed the government for failing to properly fund and equip his officers….
In the face of spiking numbers of kidnappings and armed robberies, he said, his officers rarely attempt to arrest anyone because "they have more guns than we do." He said arrest attempts stopped after several incidents in which his cops were attacked with rocket-propelled grenades.
It's certainly, it should be noted, in worse shape than Iraq, and might have made for a better example of the argument the president was trying to make. But the Iraq example is relevant for another reason. In justifying military action against Syria, President Obama asked, "What kind of world will we live in if the United States of America sees a dictator brazenly violate international law with poison gas and we choose to look the other way?"
That wasn't the only time the president seemed to make the case that military action against Saddam Hussein's Iraq was taken later than it should have been. Earlier in the speech, Obama said this:
As the ban against these weapons erodes, other tyrants will have no reason to think twice about acquiring poison gas and using them. Over time our troops would again face the prospect of chemical warfare on the battlefield, and it could be easier for terrorist organizations to obtain these weapons and to use them to attack civilians.
If fighting spills beyond Syria's borders, these weapons could threaten allies like Turkey, Jordan and Israel.
And a failure to stand against the use of chemical weapons would weaken prohibitions against other weapons of mass destruction and embolden Assad's ally, Iran, which must decide whether to ignore international law by building a nuclear weapon or to take a more peaceful path.
This is not a world we should accept.
Of course, military action can be taken any number of ways following any number of strategies. But Obama wasn't just against the way the war in Iraq was prosecuted. This was the war he called a "dumb war." In that famous 2002 speech, Obama said that he has "no illusions about Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal man. A ruthless man. A man who butchers his own people to secure his own power." However, Obama then added:
I also know that Saddam poses no imminent and direct threat to the United States or to his neighbors, that the Iraqi economy is in shambles, that the Iraqi military a fraction of its former strength, and that in concert with the international community he can be contained until, in the way of all petty dictators, he falls away into the dustbin of history.
How vigorously Obama now apparently disagrees with that assessment.

Band Pro Leica Summilux-C
Apr 28, 2010 12:00 PM, By Dan Ochiva
Lighter-weight, more compact PL-mount lenses.
At NAB, Band Pro made the day for many a DP by debuting its long-rumored mystery lens set, the Leica Summilux-C. That's right; this wide-ranging set of PL-mount primes comes from none other than Leica, one of the golden names from the very earliest days of still photography.
Band Pro had encouraged Leica to introduce this more compact, lighter-weight set of T1.4 close-focus primes (said to be in development for three years) to offer more alternatives to B4-mount Zeiss DigiPrimes.
From its beginnings, Leica made its name for quality lenses, and these aren't going to break that tradition: The glass employs a new multi-aspheric design and high-precision cine lens mechanics that is claimed to provide "unmatched" flat-field illumination across the entire 35mm frame, even while it suppresses color fringing in the farthest corners of the frame with no discernable breathing.
DPs will like the convenience of the lenses' uniform length, 95mm threaded lens front, advanced distance focus scales, and similar location of focus and iris rings. All that means when on set, it's quick and easy to do lens changes.
Initially the lenses will be offered in focus lengths of 18mm, 21mm, 25mm, 35mm, 40mm, 50mm, 75mm, and 100mm. Delivery is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2010.

Video:How to Make Popoverswith Rachel Edelman
Popovers are light rolls that have a hollow inside. Using this delicious recipe, see how to make popover bread in your kitchen.See Transcript
Transcript:How to Make PopoversHi, I'm Rachel Edelman for About.com Food. Today I'm going to show you how to make your own popovers.
Popover IngredientsFor this recipe you will need:
- 1 cup flour
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 extra large eggs
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
- 1 additional unsalted butter
- 1 popover pan
Prepare the Popover PanPlace oven rack at lowest position in your oven. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Place the popover pan on an aluminum lined cooking sheet. Prepare the pan by thoroughly greasing it with unsalted butter.
Mix the Popover BatterIn medium bowl, combine flour and salt. In a small bowl, crack your two eggs. In another medium bowl, combine milk, eggs and the melted butter. Beat it well.
Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Stir with wire whisk until it's just blended. You'll see that the batter will be thin. And it's okay if there are some lumps.
Bake the PopoversPour batter into your popover pan. Fill each cup half-way. Place the cookie sheet and the pan into the hot oven and bake for 20 minutes. Be sure not to open the door while its cooking.
After 20 minutes, reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake 15-20 minutes longer. The popovers are done when they are a deep golden-brown color.
Serve the popovers with your favorite fruit spread. I'm serving this with pumpkin butter.

Illinois' unemployment rate is down for the second month in a row.
The May unemployment rate comes in at 9.1 percent, down from 9.3 percent in April, but higher than the 8.9 percent rate a year ago.
This rate of unemployment is not the sign of a strong economy, says Greg Rivara of the Illinois Department of Employment Security, but the decline is a little ray of sunshine. "The May report shows businesses are warming to the idea of adding new positions. Growth in construction (was) particularly encouraging following a wet spring," he said.
Construction jobs were up 3,900 over the month. The overall net gain in jobs was 5,600. In the private sector it was 11,800, as government jobs were down 6,200.
Illinois has 5.7 million employed. The number of unemployed dropped 11,000 to 599,000.
