Not Feeling Your Best? The Problem May Be Your Toxic Colon
If you are suffering with unexplained weight gain, constipation, bloating, gas, poor skin condition, sluggish digestion, allergy flare-ups, or just general feelings of low energy, fatigue, and illness…
... Your colon may be clogged, inflamed, and leaking HARMFUL TOXINS into the rest of your body!
Triggered by poor diet, food allergies, stress, drugs, antibiotics, candida (yeast), and fatty acid deficiencies, a clogged, inflamed colon can trigger a vicious cycle of health problems!
The Vicious Cycle Of The Toxic Colon:
Look at what happens as your colon becomes clogged and inflamed!
A vicious cycle of health problems is triggered… including acne, foggy memory, allergy flare ups, and poor skin condition that you may not currently associate with your poor digestive health!
Revitalize Your Colon To Break The Cycle
Anybody can sell you another harsh laxative-based "cleanse."
But here at Digestive Science®, we know that you don't want to strip the colon "clean" with laxatives because this kills good bacteria in your gut and causes further inflammation…
You want to revitalize the colon!
So with this in mind, we've gone against the grain to formulate Intensive Colon Cleanse, based on the very latest medical studies in digestive health! This 10-day cleanse has been formulated with high quality fibres, nutrients, and probiotics that work synergistically to:
- Flush your colon of toxic build-up
- Remove parasites & bacteria
- Clear out clogged sections of the gastrointestinal tract
... All while aggressively combating the inflammation, to ensure toxins are flushed out of your body and not absorbed into the blood stream and vital organs!
Flush... Soothe... And Heal
For Health Benefits You'll Feel Right Away
This highly sophisticated cleansing and detox formulation by Digestive Science® includes a wide variety of beneficial fibres, nutrients, and minerals that flush… soothe… and heal your colon.
Depending on your current health, benefits of completing the 10-day cleanse program may include:
Because your digestive health has such a broad reaching impact on your overall health, don't be surprised if "little issues" that you didn't previously associate with your colon start to improve!
No Cramps... Loose Stools... Or Feeling Sick
A cleanse that leaves you feeling crampy, ill, and dizzy with loose stools is NOT good for you.
Aggressive "cleansing" laxatives that strip your colon of everything including the "good bacteria" (your gut microflora) do NOT help to improve your long-term digestive health.
And that's why Intensive Colon Cleanse by Digestive Science® has been formulated to offer:
- A gentle series of natural laxatives that work gradually, over the 10-day program
- Elimination of toxins, parasites, & bacteria that have built up in your colon
- Probiotics that encourage a healthy balance of your gut microflora
- A series of vitamins, minerals, & herbals that promote healthy colon function
- A formulation that helps soothe and heal gut inflammation to prevent toxin "leaks"
And it all begins with this gentle yet highly effective 10-Day Cleanse that's designed to reduce your digestive discomforts while flushing your colon and soothing inflammation.
There simply isn't another cleansing product or treatment program on the market like it...
Spread Out Over 10 Days, This Cleanse Works Quickly - Yet GENTLY!
The imbalances that created your digestive health issues have been created over time by issues like stress, poor diet, antibiotics, lack of exercise, allergies, yeast, fatty acid deficiencies, environmental toxins, and more.
So it only makes sense:
These issues will take a little time to resolve.
Yes, you can expect to feel significant relief from your symptoms after completing the initial 10-day Intensive Colon Cleanse by Digestive Science®...
... With IMMEDIATE benefits that can include weight loss, regular bowel movements without gas or bloating, a flatter stomach, increased energy, more radiant skin, and more!
However, that's just the beginning.
To Enjoy The Very BEST Colon Function & Digestive Health, You Should ALSO Plan To Take...
Maximum Digestion Probiotic
You're getting probiotics IN ADDITION to Intensive Colon Cleanse, which should really expedite your healthy weight management while you put these good bacteria in your gut!
Plan to take BOTH the Intensive Colon Cleanse supplement AND Maximum Digestion Probiotic for a minimum of 90 days while your 10 day cleanse is done for optimal colon healing and function!
You've Invited To Try It RISK FREE For 90 Days!
Still not sure Intensive Colon Cleanse by Digestive Science® is right for you?
Then why not take advantage of our RISK FREE money back guarantee? Order today, and we'll give you a full 90 days to use the complete cleansing system at our risk!
Answers To Some Common Questions:
1. How often should I cleanse?
For the average person in good health who suffers with occasional digestive problems, a cleanse every 3-6 months is ideal, paired with daily, ongoing Probiotic + Digestion Support.
However, if you're suffering with ongoing digestive problems and you've seen a doctor to eliminate any serious diseases or illnesses, then you could likely benefit from more frequent cleansing – and we especially recommend that you supplement with the Probiotic + Digestion Support.
2. Do I need to follow a special diet while cleansing?
Yes, you should plan to make some healthy, common sense modifications to your diet, including: Eat more fruits and veggies. Reduce your consumption of animal fat, sugar, refined grains, and salty snacks. Limit alcohol and caffeine consumption. Eat more fish and nuts. And drink plenty of water.
Of course, if eating right was EASY, there wouldn't be an estimated 60-70 million people suffering with digestive disorders in the United States alone! And that's why we recommend that you consider supplementing with our Probiotic & Digestion Support Program once your 10-day cleanse is complete.
3. I eat healthy already… Why do I need the Probiotic supplement?
Even with the best intentions, our diets frequently don't contain the daily recommended doses of probiotics, fibre, and essential nutrients that we need for optimal digestive health.
And if you're suffering with digestion problems right now, chances are high that you're MISSING something! The Probiotic supplement helps establish balance in your gut of good vs bad microflora, and let your GI tract function as it's designed to do!
4. What results should I expect?
Simply put, once your 10 day cleanse is complete, you can expect to FEEL BETTER!
The constipation, gas, and bloating should be gone. Your stomach will likely look and feel flatter. You may experience a 5-10 lb weight loss*. Your skin will have a healthy, radiant glow again. You'll feel energized, with focus and mental clarity. And you may see issues like acne, eczema, and allergies clear up!
But you don't have to take our word for it. Because Intensive Colon Cleanse is backed by our generous 90-day money back guarantee. Use any of our products, and if you're not satisfied, you can simply return the empty bottles within 90 days of purchase for a full refund of monies paid (minus shipping fees).

NASCAR Sprint Series driver Joey Logano enjoyed his 2011 USO tour so much, he's ready for another lap.
Logano and fellow NASCAR Sprint Series star Brad Keselowski participated in a USO tour to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, last December. Now, Logano, the 2009 Sprint Cup Rookie of the Year, will be joined by fellow NASCAR driver and two-time Nationwide Series champion Ricky Stenhouse Jr. for a USO tour to lift the spirits of deployed troops and their families based in Germany and the Middle East. Logano and Stenhouse will also pay a visit to the USO Warrior Center at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center to extend their thanks to recovering troops.
Logano's 2011 trip to Guantanamo Bay gave him a lasting appreciation for what our troops sacrifice in order to protect America's freedom and liberty.
"I enjoyed just meeting a lot of the troops and hearing their stories and where they're from and how they got there and where else they'd been," Logano said. "The thing is, most of the guys out there are my age [22 years old], so it's kind of cool to relate to them. I respect the heck out of them. I look up to them for what they do. They're amazing."
Since the racing circuit requires drivers to live a life on the road in every sense of the word, Logano spends much of his downtime stateside, but he's looking forward to visiting new countries and cultures because it leads to many cherished memories. Even if those memories were a bit edgy at the time.
"I was a little bit nervous about it because I wasn't sure what I was getting myself into," Logano said of his first USO tour. "[Flying from Miami via military transportation to Cuba] I'm asking the pilot, 'So what happens if we break down? Can we in Cuba?' And he's like '(laughs) No.' So I'm like, 'Oh, good to know. Keep it going!'"
The tour experiences also allow Logano to see what support organizations like the USO do for our nation's military.
"It's amazing what [the USO] do. I hear a lot about what they do with NASCAR, obviously, since that's where I am, but the more you look into it, you listen to how they bring other celebrities over and the things they do for their families. These guys are making a huge sacrifice going over there and fighting for our freedom. The least we can do is go over there and say hello. … [The USO] helps those guys kind of have a more homey feeling."
Now a tour veteran, Logano is excited to show Stenhouse Jr. the way.
"I've known Ricky for a few years and we get along, we have no issues," Logano said, laughing. "With Brad last year, we had a lot of fun and I knew Brad, but got to know him a lot better. Ironically, now we're teammates so go figure that one out. You never know what life brings you. So it's fun to hang out with another driver and get to know each other. It's weird because you're still competitors and you can never really shut that off. … If there's anything we can race out there I'm sure we'll do that."

Serves: 2
Preparation Time: 30 minutes, plus overnight marinating
1/4 cup tarragon (chopped)
3 garlic cloves (peeled and halved)
1 tsp Italian seasoning (dried)
1 tbsp fresh rosemary
3 tbsps Dijon mustard
2-3 tbsp lemon juice
6 tbsps macadamia nut oil
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1. Place chicken, tarragon, rosemary, Italian seasoning, garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard and macadamia nut oil in a plastic bag. Marinade it overnight.
2. When chicken is done marinating, place them on the grill.
3. Grill for 7 minutes per side until juices are clear and internal temperature is 170 degrees.

The dam renovation work at Scofield Reservoir has been wrapped up for the season. In fact, the work is nearly completed.
"Things have gone right on schedule," said Spencer Strand, a United States Bureau of Reclamation engineer working on the Scofield project. "Once the snow is gone next spring, we have a few things to finish up next spring and early summer, but it is nearly finished."
The dam, which was built partially during World War II and completed shortly after the conflict, has been supplying water from the reservoir to Carbon County for more than 60 years.
But a few years ago, the dam was examined and officials determined that the spillway, control equipment and several areas were deteriorating and needed to be rebuilt.
One of the main concerns was the action of hydraulic jacking at the structure.
Hydraulic jacking is a process where water entering under the concrete slab of the spillway creates water pressure that pushes the slab up and out of its position.
Currently, dams that are built have water stops put in the structures to prevent the problem.
But when the dam was constructed at Scofield, the types of measures in question were not employed.
The spillway at Scofield had fallen victim to 60 years of freeze and thaw cycles as well as alkali-silica reaction deterioration.
A number of attempts to repair the spillway had taken place since the 1970s to fix some of the problems.
But the attempts were basically stop gap measures and it was determined by officials that the major work needed to be started.
The bridge that crosses over the dam was also determined to be a problem.
While the towns of Scofield and Clear Creek do not have many residents, holiday and sportsman traffic along with coal trucks running from mines above the reservoir provided a large load on the bridge each year.
It was determined that the bridge needed replacement while the spillway was being replaced as well. Work began in 2007.
The reservoir level has been kept at about 50 percent of what its actual capacity is (26,000 acre feet) for the last three years. To protect the work and to free up the work space to repair both the spillway and the bridge a temporary coffer dam was constructed. Work on the project has progressed during the construction season for the last three years.
"We have now removed the coffer dam and the temporary by-pass for traffic," said Strand. "We only have some finishing work to do."
Strand did say that the dam may not be allowed to reach capacity next summer, even if the water is available to do so, because a new facing called riprap has been put on the dam and engineers have to bring the water up slowly to be sure that is protecting the soil that the dam is composed of.
"Riprap is the rock that covers the soil deposits that make up the dam and we need to be sure it is protecting those," said Strand. "But I don't suppose there will be many restrictions on the water unless there is a problem. In any case I doubt users of water from the dam will see any difference because of the work that needs to be finished nor any restriction on how much water can be held back. We just need to be sure what is put behind the dam is very controlled."
As anyone who has been in the construction business knows often as built plans and drawings are not as accurate as they should be, but Strand said the original drawings the BOR worked off of to do the reconstruction were "very accurate."
During the construction the BOR also built a new control house for water release equipment as well as installing new gate accuators, which will help the Carbon County Water Conservancy District control water flowing out of the dam for its users.
The project when finished will cost $6.9 million and that expense will be divided up between BOR (85 percent), the conservancy district (5 percent) and the Utah Department of Transportation (10 percent).

MASSENA At this weeks meeting of the Massena Matters group, it was unveiled that the St. Lawrence County Department of Social Services now has a dedicated welfare fraud investigator working in Massena.
We are focusing our attention here in Massena starting this week, St. Lawrence County Social Services Commissioner Christopher Rediehs said. We are not law enforcement, but we do want to make sure fraud is not occurring.
St. Lawrence County Legislature Chairman Johnathan S. Putney said the county was able to reallocate resources within the Social Services Department to dedicate that individual to Massena.
While she asked not be identified, due to the nature of her job requiring some sense of anonymity, the investigator said, We will go out after every referral we get.
The most difficult part of the job, she said, is proving fraudulent intent.
Speaking about abuse connected to electronic benefit transfer cards and rent assistance benefits, she said she was working to make sure public assistance is being used for what its intended to be.
Clearly these are public tax dollars and we want to make sure these funds are going where they are supposed to, Mr. Putney said. If not, our welfare fraud team will be looking into it.
Explaining that she has heard of instances of people selling their EBT cards or trading them for drugs, as well as using cash payments intended to help people pay rent being used for similar purposes, Assemblywoman Addie J. Russell said eviction notices being given to people receiving rent assistance are going to be one of the things used to help investigate fraud cases.
If people are receiving cash assistance, but their landlord isnt receiving rent, the welfare fraud team can look into it, she said.
Massena Mayor James F. Hidy asked what prompted the county to start caring so much about welfare fraud.
What prompted the change? he asked. Im still not certain the county doesnt help to bring people here due to the availability of low rent and cheap power.
While Mr. Rediehs called Massena an attractive place, he said the county is not steering people on public assistance to Massena or any other communities.
There are a lot of reasons why someone would want to live here, he said. In truth, the county is not encouraging people to live here.
Mr. Rediehs also said that his department needs to be made aware of potential fraud cases.
If there is a drug bust and someone has a house full of EBT cards we need to be aware of that, he said.
However just because an EBT card is found in someone elses possession, doesnt mean there is an open-and-shut case.
The biggest thing with the benefit cards is we have to prove they sold the card, the investigator said.
While Mr. Hidy said hes glad to see progress, he said its unfortunate that these investigations couldnt have begun sooner.
Its very unfortunate that it takes a group like this to make things happen, Mr. Hidy said, adding that instead of a true concern for the community, it seems this response is to recent newspaper articles detailing EBT abuse and his thoughts on welfare fraud in Massena.
I know its an election year, but I appreciate the help, he said, referring to the fact that he, Ms. Russell and the entire St. Lawrence County Legislature are up for re-election this year.
Mr. Rediehs said he wants to make sure that this doesnt turn into a witch hunt or an attack on Massenas poor people, many of whom use the benefits they receive as intended.
Its not peoples fault they are poor, he said.
Mr. Hidy said he understands that in some instances, but in many other instances people who are perfectly capable of working choose not to, instead preferring to live off the system.
Im not against people getting benefits, but Im against the people with the tattoos and the pit bulls, and us supporting their habits, he said.

Read: Andrew's Story From AC
I drove down from North Jersey with my family and arrived in Atlantic City around 5:15. We waited until around 5:30 and walked onto the boardwalk standing in the cold for a half hour with many other anxious fans until the doors finally opened. I was amazed at how many different teams' jerseys I saw, most of which were Flyers. Walking in I could feel a buzz in the crowd, some people started "Let's Go Rangers" chants and much louder chants for the Flyers. After getting our tickets scanned, I went and bought a t-shirt for the event, to be sure I could get one before they were sold out. Everyone throughout the arena was friendly and excited, looking forward to finally seeing some hockey.
The arena was very neat, being that there was a stage at one end, and every seat felt close to the ice. For warm-ups I walked down to the glass and along with many other Rangers fans (I was on the team NY side) were pounding on the glass cheering on our favorite players (many of which acknowledged us as opposed to a regular game). After warm-ups were over, we headed back to the seats and waited for the game to begin.
They began by announcing the starting line ups, and it was clear that team Hartnell was preferred among the fans. The loudest boos were for James Neal and Coach Vinny from the Jersey Shore. After the National Anthem Hartnell and Richards addressed the crowd from center ice, thanking us for our support and saying how impressed they were with the response they got from sponsors, players, and fans in such a short time period.
See the pictures that Andrew took, HERE.
The game began and right away something was evident: Lundqvist came to play. Team Hartnell had many early chances and Lundqvist denied them all. This would be a pattern that would be repeated many times throughout the night, as Lundqvist left many players shaking their heads and all the fans in awe. After a sprawling save, a Flyers fan sitting in front of me turned around and said "Man it must be nice knowing you have this guy in net night in and night out, he looks in mid-season form." After each save whether it be a breakaway, penalty shot, odd man rush, deflection, or a shot through traffic the whole arena would applaud in appreciation. Hank was truly putting on a show.
As for the rest of the game, it was a very unique environment. Pretty much the entire arena would join in on taunting Martin Brodeur, as well as joining in on some random "Crosby Sucks" chants. However, the most powerful chants were "Fire Bettman," "Bettman Sucks," and multiple "We Want Hockey" chants, including a very loud one during a standing ovation at the end of the game. All the fans were so appreciative to be able to see a hockey game of this caliber, and I think it made us all realize how much we truly missed it.
In terms of gameplay, it was a much slower tempo than a normal game, and players sometimes were running into each other because they couldn't clear out the area with a big check. However, this did not make it any less entertaining at all. There were many breakaways and odd man rushes (due to the lack of defense), and it was very exciting for the fans. Asham and Carcillo were going at each other at many points throughout the game, and at one point the refs gave each of them a penalty (meaning they each got a penalty shot). Nothing ever came of it, but nonetheless, it was very entertaining. There were some very nice passing plays to set up goals, and players were always looking to make the extra pass as opposed to being selfish.
The fans were so appreciative of the players, but this was also true for the players to the fans. After an announced sell-out crowd of 10,792, all the players rose and tapped their sticks in appreciation of the fans. Along with this multiple players signed jerseys, towels, and pucks throughout the game. Along with this, many players (Lundqvist included) tossed their sticks into the stands after the game, and unlike usual NHL games, the fans didn't fight over them, whoever caught it was left alone.
With the very diverse fan base, one could think that it could be a recipe for disaster, however, this game was about the game of hockey itself, not individual teams. The players were there as a united group, as were the fans. Most importantly, everybody there was supporting a great cause, trying to rebuild New York and New Jersey from Hurricane Sandy. I really enjoyed this game and it is and experience and environment that I will never forget.

A federal magistrate judge has recommended that the damages portion of a seizure-dog trainers legal action seeking $75 million from the state attorney general be dismissed, although parts of the lawsuit should be allowed to proceed.
South Colton resident Jon C. Sabin, operator of Seizure Alert Dogs for Life Inc., filed suit in September in U.S. District Court, Syracuse, against Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo and Assistant Attorney General Deanna R. Nelson, claiming his civil rights were violated under the Americans with Disabilities Act when the attorney general obtained an order barring him from running his business.
The attorney general had argued, among other things, that Mr. Sabin was falsely advertising that his dogs were trained to alert people about oncoming seizures. Mr. Sabin filed federal action, contending that federal disability laws supersede state laws governing service-animal training.
In a report filed Monday with the court, Magistrate Judge David E. Peebles recommended to Judge Gary L. Sharpe, who is presiding over Mr. Sabins federal case, that any claims for damages against the state officials in their official capacity be dismissed. He wrote that federal law, under the 11th Amendment, prohibits suits in federal court brought by parties seeking monetary damages that must be paid through state funds.
The judge also recommended the dismissal of claims against the state officials in their individual capacity, stating that Mr. Sabins complaint is wholly devoid of any allegations that suggest that the three named defendants were personally involved in any alleged constitutional violation.
Judge Peebles did, however, recommend keeping alive Mr. Sabins request for injunctive relief which, if successful, would prevent the attorney general from enforcing state service animal laws against him and allow him to continue training dogs.
The judge also recommended that Mr. Sabin be given an opportunity to file an amended complaint, which Mr. Sabin said Tuesday he will do within the next few days. In his report, Judge Peebles provided Mr. Sabin with something of a road map regarding the types of claims and other pertinent information that must be included to support allegations in the complaint.
Mr. Sabin has been acting as his own attorney, and Judge Peebles has recommended that he be allowed to continue to do so in forma pauperis, which, if granted, would entitle him to a waiver of costs associated with bringing the action because he is deemed a poor person. The judge, however, said that Seizure Alert Dogs for Life, which is a named plaintiff in the action, does not qualify for the status and, because it did not pay the $350 filing fee for the suit, its complaint should be dismissed.
Mr. Sabin said that when he files his amended complaint, he will be the sole plaintiff.

As previously detailed, the threats are apparently from one angry individual who seems intent on stopping Fujimaki from promoting his manga Kuroko's Basketball. The threats are frightening and relentless.
However, as noted by Yaraon! (via ANN), Fujimaki wrote in an upcoming issue of Jump Magazine about a recently cancelled Kuroko's Basketball stage event, apologizing to those who were looking forward to it, but noting the safety issues at hand.
He also said that he would not stop writing Kuroko's Basketball, declaring, "Even if something happens, I will keep working hard on this story, without rest."
Considering how terrifying the threats have been—from stabbing to arson to chemical threats—it is brave of Fujimaki to stand up for himself and his work.

Last year, when I wrote a column supporting an end to routine circumcision of male newborns, I got a letter from a reader who blasted me for being hypocritical. How can you support freedom of choice for women, the reader asked, and not support freedom of choice for parents?
I explained what ought to have been obvious — it was her perspective, not mine, that was hypocritical. I support a woman's right to choose contraception and abortion. And I support a man's right to choose whether or not he is circumcised. Circumcision, I argued, ought to be left up to the man whose penis is being cut. His body, his choice.
This exchange came at what was a high point in Colorado in the fight against routine infant male circumcision. The state had just cut Medicaid funding for circumcision in order to save money, making Colorado one of 17 states that does not cover the procedure. The decision resulted in sharp decrease in newborn circumcisions among Medicaid patients, who are required to cover the cost themselves if they choose to inflict the surgery on their newborns.
This wasn't the ban on medically unnecessary circumcisions that I and many other Coloradans — many of them neonatal nurses who've witness circumcision, physicians who've performed them and circumcised men who've lived with lifelong complications from botched circumcisions — had hoped for, but it was a start.
Now, claiming to stand up for "choice" and "social justice," liberal lawmakers, including Longmont's Sen.
Brandon Shaffer, are working hard to refund routine infant circumcision. Senate Bill 90, introduced by State Sen. Joyce Foster, would restore Medicaid funding in Colorado for non-medically necessary circumcision.
But these lawmakers couldn't be more misguided. They're not supporting "choice," but rather are eliminating choice for the one person who matters — the infant boy.
If they have their way, the state will spend another $250,000 it doesn't have on a procedure that is not necessary and is rarely performed outside the United States.
These lawmakers claim that African studies show male circumcision has been proven to reduce the spread of sexually transmitted infections — results which even they admit have not been corroborated in the United States. In violently patriarchal parts of Africa where a woman can be beaten for asking her husband to wear a condom and where limited access to water can lead to less than optimal hygiene, perhaps circumcision offers medical professionals a tool they didn't have before. (It is largely adult male volunteers who are undergoing circumcision there, not newborn infants).
But in the United States, condoms and good hygiene are less painful and more effective options for halting the spread of STDs.
As one Scottish talk show host said, "So I can either wash it and wear a condom, or I can cut it off?" The laughter of his audience and his own facial expression indicated quite clearly which option made sense and which was ridiculous.
Research on circumcision and its long-term effects cleanly refutes any medical "need" for routine circumcision, leaving only three reasons parents might choose to put their newborn baby through an invasive, painful and potentially risky procedure. The first is a desire for Junior's penis to resemble Daddy's. The second is religion. The third is for cosmetic reasons.
Medicaid does not cover cosmetic procedures. Families cannot get their little girls' ears pierced and expect Medicaid to pick up the tab, for example.
As for religion, practicing Jews don't circumcise their sons at the hospital, but rather in a ceremony called a brit milah, or bris, so this bill doesn't help them.
The desire to have matching father-son penises, cited by Sen. Irene Aguliar, D-Denver, is nothing short of absurd. What medical function does matching penises serve? What interest does the state have in spending money on that?
This is an intensely emotional issue for some, but the people who get no voice in the debate are the little boys whose lives circumcision most directly effects. Contact your representatives in the State Senate and House, and urge them to kill SB 90.
Let's let adult men decide the fate of their foreskins.
Go to coloradonocirc.org for comprehensive information about circumcision.
Respond: firstname.lastname@example.com This opinion column does not necessarily reflect the views of Boulder Weekly.
It's illegal even to make a pinprick on a girl's genitals. Why don't boys get the same protection?
Everyone should be able to decide for themselves whether or not they want parts cut off their genitals. It's *their* body.
It's not like it can't wait - there are only two countries in the world where more than 50% of baby boys are circumcised - the USA and Israel.
This is one of the most mature, insightful, and intelligent pieces I have ever seen regarding circumcision, and I've seen many. The Colorado initiative is so misguided, I can't even count the ways, but let me try. Medicaid was never set up to handle elective surgery, or cosmetic surgery. Circumcision is "non-theraputic", according to the British Medical Association. This is euphemistic. it is destructive. They are pandering to the voters, who have a fear that their 'parental rights' to cut up their kids any way they please might be taken away...or worse yet, they may have to pay for it. I didn't hear these parents screaming when their right to circumcise their daughters was taken away by the Feds in 1996, or when insurance stopped covering it in the US.
To add to the crazy, there is an ethicist working for the AAP named Dr. Douglas Diekema. He achieved a small measure of notoriety when he suggested that the Federal law regarding female circumcision be changed, to allow a nick to the clitoral foreskin. There was an outcry, and it was denied he ever said it, but the published quotes persist on the net. Here it is a couple of years later. Dr. Diekema is on the circumcision task force of the AAP. Why, is beyond me. He let fly that the AAP is thinking of changing their stance to a pro-circumcision one shortly. How many ethical violations can you count? The genital belongs to the boy, not his parents or doctor. What happened to 'first, do no harm'? Or is removing what Dr. Diekema calls 1/3 of the skin, again, a euphemism, not harm? What part of unnecessary surgery does the AAP not understand? Like it carries no risks...infection, excessive bleeding, MRSA, taking off too much, skin bridges, meatal stenosis, to name a few.
Thanks for a sane article. Reading it made my day.
I read in the 'Broward-Palm Beach New Times' this week that the AAP may come out with an updated policy statement this Spring that will be more in favor of circumcision for boys. We will have to see if this is the case and how this development proceeds.
They seem to have been taking forever to make a decision & sitting on the fence for years. The confusing policy in recent years has left a lot of parents unsure what to do.Parents need more guidance, and if there are more medical benefits, a recommendation in favor of circumcision would help parents decide to have their boys circumcised. I think more Latinos would have their boys circumcised if the AAP were to recommend it. At the moment, people are unsure where the medical community is going on this.
I appreciate this article and I wrote several Colorado senators about SB90. Shaffer was the only one who responded with 'agree to disagree' comment. I was flabbergasted. The question we should be asking isn't arguments of HIV reduction, or aesthetics, or any other flimsy argument. We should be asking ourselves if decent, informed, civilized people in the 21st century cut the genitals of non-consenting children. The obvious and unemotional realization is no, we don't, and that is the real reason circumcision rates are falling.

Evans is a name that takes more wallops and cracks than any other musical instrument brand. And we mean that literally. All over the world, drummers can be found with the Evans name proudly emblazoned over the top of their various toms, snares and bass drums. Renowned and respected since their invention of the first synthetic drumhead back in 1956, Evans is now considered a legend in drum and percussion manufacturing. Evans is no stranger to drummers and percussionists. In fact, players have come to rely on Evans since their earliest stages behind a kit, thanks to their innovative percussion solutions and technologically advanced drumheads. Whether you're keeping a simple Tommy Ramone style pulse, or wailing away like a Buddy Rich influenced madman, Evans has you covered.

Live: Cerrone From Citi Field, Shea Stadium
Throughout the afternoon, MetsBlog.com's Matthew Cerrone will be touring Citi Field and the remains of Shea Stadium while providing updates via text message, which I will relay.
The concession area at Citi Field will include a Shake Shack, beer island, and a taco stand. Beyond center field will be a Wiffle Ball field.
Standing in the left field concourse you can feel a "pretty rapid wind swirling" coming from home plate.
The luxury boxes, which sit approximately 30 rows back from home plate, have a sliding door with outside seats. According to Cerrone, the luxury boxes are, '@$%#@$%# awesome!'
Also, all of the seats around and behind home plate are cushioned.
Shea Stadium is all ripped up and full of concrete block. "Awful."
Citi Field feels a lot like Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia.
Despite having approximately 10,000 less seats, it feels like there are seats everywhere.
The old apple will be on display inside Citi Field, while a new apple will be in the canister under the scoreboard in center field.

Lubomir Visnovsky's "Personal Reasons" are Related to His Son's Health
Visnovsky tells Pluska.sk (translation via Finnish reporter Matias Strozyk) that his son's health is the reason he would like to stay longer in Slovakia:
"I still can't fly, I need to stay for at least two weeks. My son has health issues. Nothing serious, but recovery will take a while… I've asked permission to play for Slovan for the next 2 weeks. If I don't get it, I'll just practice in Bratislava."
On Twitter, Chris Botta offers some good advice:
Isles should tell Lubo, Be with your son. We'll toll the contract. Be here in Sept so you're an Isle for a year instead of 80 days.

By KEVIN SCANNELLSun Advocate reporter
A break-in at the Price Elks Lodge last week has led Price City police to arrest two men in connection with the theft of an undisclosed amount of money and alcohol.
Evidence and questioning of suspects led Price police to arrest John Parry, 27, and Christopher Robert Southards, 31, both of Price, according to Captain Bill Barnes.
Barnes said the break-in occurred in the early morning hours of May 31 as evidence showed the suspects used force to break into an outside door as well as other rooms inside of the building.
An undisclosed amount of money and alcohol was stolen from the Elks Lodge before the suspects left. Representatives with the Price Elks Lodge reached by phone on Wednesday morning could not confirm the exact amount of money and alcohol stolen and declined to comment on the situation.
While police were investigating the break-in, Barnes said police were called out to the National 9 Inn on a different manner. When police arrived they noticed suspicious materials including alcohol bottles that matched the description of those reported stolen from the Elks Lodge. Police officers questioned the suspects present at the motel which later led to the arrest of Parry on June 2 and Southards on June 3, Barnes said. Both men were found with an undisclosed amount of money and materials used during the break-in, he added.
"This was an extremely lucky occurance with everything coming together to make the arrests," he explained.
Price City police officers, investigators and the Carbon County Sheriff's Department worked together throughout the early part of the investigation, Barnes said.
The two men face a number of charges which include burgulary, criminal mischief and possession of stolen property. Barnes said the men could also face charges for being in possession of burgulary tools.
The break-in is still under investigation as police are hoping to recover the rest of the stolen property and question others who may have been involved, Barnes said.

St. Lawrence Countys sales tax increase takes effect Sunday.
And it starts quietly and without much controversy for businesses that will add another percentage point to what was the countys 3-percent sales tax.
The total state and county sales tax as of Sunday will be 8 percent. That additional percentage point is expected to generate an additional $13 million in sales tax revenues for the county in 2014.
There appeared to be no mad dash to make significant purchases before today, Christmas shopping seasons unofficial beginning on Black Friday notwithstanding.
People havent really mentioned it, said Jesse Jandreau, a sales representative at T J Toyota Inc., Potsdam, adding that there was no spike in automobile sales in the weeks leading up to today.
Its been about normal, Mr. Jandreau said.
William J. Coakley, owner of Coakley Ace Hardware, Canton, said the increased sales tax impact is psychological in that it puts St. Lawrence County in the company of other 8-percent-sales-tax counties.
It takes away the advantage that we had, he said.
Derek P. Bradley, manager of Northwoods Furniture, Ogdensburg, saw no pre-sales-tax-increase bump at his store.
I really havent seen any increase in the number of people coming in, he said.
Mr. Bradley said he expected no spike in pre-Dec. 1 sales because the 1 percent savings $7 on a $700 sofa, for example was hardly a steal.
Like Mr. Jandreau, Michael B. Sarkin, president of Maple City Auto Sales Inc., Ogdensburg, experienced no bargain-hunting customer deluge.
I havent heard anything yet, he said.
But Mr. Sarkin predicts a post-Dec. 1 rumbling.
I think everybody is going to be complaining about it, he said.
He also believes a warmer-weather starting date would have generated more sales.
Thats our prime time, spring, Mr. Sarkin said.
Businesses will prepare for the changeover by manually adjusting or computer reprogramming their cash registers to record the new sales tax.
You reprogram the computer, said Stephen C. LaRose, president and chief executive officer of Howland Pump & Supply, Ogdensburg. Howland Pump operates eight other stores, including locations in Potsdam, Malone, Massena and Gouverneur. Its no big deal.
Mr. LaRose said he is no fan of the countys sales tax increase or any sales tax increase.
Id have preferred no increase, he said. Hopefully, the money will be well spent.
And Mr. LaRose took advantage of todays deadline.
I bought a truck last week to save on 1 percent, he said.

Life is swift, craft elaborate, opportunity fleeting, trial erroneous, judgment questionable.
Tuesday, December 20, 2011
Believers Don't Believe
"I'm a believer," The Monkees sang in 1966. They meant a believer in love, but mostly the term is used for and by religious people, sticking to convictions that common sense dismisses. But the term is a paradox. The use of it reveals a lack of belief.
The Monkees sang that they thought love was only true in fairytales, until:
Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
I'm in love, I'm a believer
But wait a minute. If you believe in love, there's still room for doubt. Otherwise you would regard it as a fact, not a belief. So, the boy of the song is not sure enough to do more than believe in the love by which his heart is overcome. What he's really saying is that he hopes he can trust love. He's taking the chance.
The same is true for religious people claiming to believe in this or that. They don't claim it to be a fact, they don't say they know it. They believe it, which is really confessing that they shouldn't, if they listened to reason. They reveal that they insist on something, although they can't even convince themselves of it.
So, every statement of belief is a confession to the contrary.
Those who say that they believe God created the world a few thousand years ago thereby admit to its absurdity. They confirm this by saying that they don't believe in evolution, which is a way of admitting that they know better. Those who believe in Heaven and Hell as the next destination after death admit that they really don't expect anything but bodily decay after their last breath.
Mostly, people say they believe in this or that god. Again, that's admitting such an entity to be highly unlikely, to say the least. What else could they say about someone (or something) so elusive?
It would be different if they said that they know this god exists, but that would be preposterous. They could say that the god is possible, which is as hard to deny as the opposite. Or they could be perfectly honest and say that they hope the god exists.
It's all about hope.
Atheists in heated debates with religious fundamentalists insist that they are stupid for believing, but that actually proves they are not. If they claimed knowledge, certainty, they would be. But by using the word belief, they hang on to their own reason and common sense. And they know it.
The true driving force of religious extremists is the fear of admitting to themselves that they have doubts, serious doubts. So, they try to silence what their minds are whispering to them, by taking a fanatic position and committing to it as blatantly as they are able. They hope that by this commitment they will finally convince themselves.
That's nothing but fear, of course. The fear of losing hope. It's the cause of much anguish in the world – and far from only to the ones stuck in this conflict of emotions.

The true driving force of religious extremists is the fear of admitting to themselves that they have doubts, serious doubts.ReplyDelete
I don't know about that. Even Marxists and other Socialists, Anarchists are extremists and they blow things up and kill. Logic dictates consistency. Socrates would ask that if this is true of "religious extremists" would that also be true of Marxist extremists that attacked the Russian Tsars and the murder of Tsar Alexander?
What about the Black Hand Anarchists that shot the Austrian Prince in Serbia? What about John Brown at Harpers Ferry? John Brown is an extremist. What about the Weathermen here in America? Leftist are extremists.
Does "Love" enter into the picture? Love of God. The Bible says, "Zeal for your house consumes my soul". King David had this. Zeal for the House of the Lord. What you call "extremism" is really religious zeal.
It says, "Defend the Widow and the Orphan". What religious man would not take that up and do it. Religious extremists do NOT have serious doubts. Their extremism is about Love of God and their passion of it. Passion.
Passion moves religious extremists as well as Leftist ideologues. It is done across the board, left or right, commie or Catholic. For they believe.
Even Marxists are true believers, trying to make a Commie Utopia--that is Fiction. No commie has ever lived in a true real-life Utopia, but they all work for one!
On the basis of the Doric elanchus, the thesis does not pan out.
WLW, I didn't deny that political extremists have the same traits. I just didn't discuss that. But I'd say that there are differences making them hard to compare.ReplyDelete
As for love and Christianity, I'm frequently struck by the paradox that a religion preaching love and forgiveness has so many very intolerant and hateful agitators.
Jesus said, "You can not serve two masters". That is a Law of Nature. All things have ONE for their object.ReplyDelete
To be a philosopher, requires "The reading of nature". Inside nature, is such a thing as "sense of belonging" and "sense of volkenhass". It is in animals and in insects. Ant colonies of even the same species attack each other.
I don't know if you read the Bible, but in Genesis, God said, "I will put enmity between good and evil. Good will hate evil and Evil will hate good".
This is the way of the cosmos. Even Socrates says the life of a philosopher is a "Lover of Truth" and a "Hater of lies". You can not serve two masters. Either you must love the Good and hate evil---or Love what is evil and hate what is Good.
That is your paradox. As a Farmer, no farmer has any tolerance with pests and diseases. He eradicates them. I once was at a family gathering in Alabama. A wild dog came and started attacking his chickens. The man grabbed a pistol licktey-split and was after that dog with a vengeance.
There is no such thing as "tolerance". That is an "enlightenment" lie. The Left most certainly does not subscribe to that! The intolerance of political correctness on any college campus is absolutely stifling to any breach of its ideological ethics! And they preach "tolerance".
Love and forgiveness operate within the community, not outside it. Tolerance is not a Christian value. Never was. Plato called for the interdiction of atheists in a community. Christianity can be said to be Platonic. St. John in his letter says never to greet a heretic---not even to say hello.
The reason: From Meander, St. Paul quotes him: "Bad company destroys good morals". It is the Agrarian quote, "One Bad Apple destroys the Bushel". No farmer can not tolerate one bad apple! This is a paradigm of life. Life is war; Life is war between the Good and Bad.
Have you read your Aesop? This is primal wisdom literature. Nowhere is this tolerance and diversity. Aesop preaches the Agrarian stance. I point you to the tale of the Frog and the Scorpion. The Frog had tolerance. What happened? Fools die.
A philosopher accepts without question the Cosmos. It is an ideologue that wishes to "fix the world".
Well, Christianity is a big and not very homogenous thing, but my interpretation of Jesus as he is presented in the Gospels is one who praises what we call tolerance. Not tolerance of all things, for sure, but many that his society hurried to condemn.ReplyDelete
Christ in the Gospels uses the metaphor of Shepard/Sheep to describe himself and people and the relation between Him and his people. The office of bishop carries on this paradigm of Jesus. The greatest example of this is the Shepards crook that all bishops have, both Orthodox and Catholic. I like to call it the "Law of Sheparding". The Shepard does not let the wolf into the flock. The same can be said about the Bishops and the stewardship they must have over the flock of believers. This paradigm is what guided the Church.ReplyDelete
Furthermore, what is the definition of Love? Well, in the LXX is a definition of Love. "Love is the care of discipline and Love is the keeping of her commandments". Discipline is very much a Christian thing. That is a huge parameter of what Love is. This is what a Bishop as a Shepard must do.
The Roman Church acted like this and suppressed any heresy out there. That is its job as "Shepard of the Flock".
"Tolerance and Diversity" is solely a product of the Enlightenment and Protestant Reformation! Even the Protestants couldn't live together and with the multiplicity of sects, they had to teach "Tolerance and Diversity" to live amongst themselves. It is a corollary of Protestantism. It is also a product of the Atheist influence in the so-called enlightenment.
Wisdom teaches the Shepard/Flock paradigm. Tolerance and Diversity are tools to undermine Christianity and when the Left does end up in the Horse's seat, it then turns around and adopts censorship and intolerance.
Christ approached the sick and healed them. Where Jewish Law of Cleanliness interdicted much in the way of helping the poor and sick, Christ attacked this materialist reading of the Spirit in Judaism. What is evil for Christ is in the thoughts of man, not his physical condition. In the tale of the Good Samaritan, a priest and a levite both passed a man that was covered in blood. Jewish law dictated a huge period of a cleanliness ritual to purify oneself from contamination of blood. The priest and the Levite did not want to delay themselves by touching something bloody and therefore becoming unclean. They had to pass this guy up. The Jewish Law of ritual purity, of physical parameters, this was what Jesus was undermining. He came for the sick. But then he added "....and Sin NO more". That is the kicker.
And on top of all that, Christianity is based on "Right Belief", on "Ortho-doxa", (Right opinion). Truth is not very easy. Christ did say, I've come to bring a sword. Truth is not a path of leisure or easy. Violence naturally attends Truth. It is the way it is.
Before the so-called "Enlightenment" or Protestant Reformation, Christianity never taught "Tolerance and Diversity". It is an innovation of heretics and infidels. And for some reason this innovation has now supplanted Wisdom.
"And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,ReplyDelete
They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?
This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.
So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?
She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more."
(John 8)

National Wildlife Federation's Adopt-a-Wildlife-Acre program solves dangerous conflicts between wildlife and livestock around Yellowstone National Park and throughout the Northern Rockies. With your help, we work to retire critical territory for wild bighorn sheep, bison, grizzly bears, wolves and other wildlife. The Adopt-a-Wildlife-Acre program creates agreements with local ranchers where we offer fair prices in exchange for retiring their grazing lands, giving wildlife more room to roam.
What is the issue, problem, or challenge?
Yellowstone National Park is home to some of the most magnificent animals in America. However, once iconic species like the gray wolf, grizzly bear, bighorn sheep and bison leave the protected borders of the park, their death rates rise dramatically! These animals' migration patterns take them outside of the park, where they are in close proximity to grazing ranch lands. This dangerous crossroads poses serious mortality risk to livestock and wildlife from both animal and human conflict.
How will this project solve this problem?
NWF's Adopt-a-Wildlife-Acre program solves this conflict through a market-based approach to conservation. We sufficiently compensate ranchers to retire high-risk grazing allotments and relocate their livestock to safe grazing lands.
Potential Long Term Impact
This unique program recognizes the economic value of livestock grazing permits and fairly compensates ranchers for retiring their leases. As grazing allotments are often on public lands, a retirement requires voluntary participation from both public and private parties, and only happens when all are satisfied- a true win-win-win program!
