While a bill to revive the Columbia River Crossing clings to life in the Legislature, Brendan Monaghan's brief career as an editorial columnist for The Oregonian is over—and it's hard to escape the conclusion that his opposition to the CRC is the reason.
Monaghan, 29, started writing a twice-monthly, right-leaning column for the daily in August 2012. He was a contractor, not an employee, and was thus free to take other work.
He agreed to run other contracts past Oregonian editorial page editor Erik Lukens before taking them. And he did.
But last month, Lukens abruptly canceled Monaghan's column, citing a conflict of interest that emails show Lukens had known about for more than a year: a consulting job Monaghan held for a conservative group opposing the CRC.
Back in January 2013, Monaghan emailed Lukens, seeking permission to contract with Leona Consulting, a new company founded by GOP political consultant Lindsay Berschauer.
"Berschauer is leaving the Oregon Transformation Project and is starting her own consulting firm," Monaghan wrote in an email to Lukens on Jan. 22, 2013. "She wants me to research and produce weekly 'Flashfacts' and do related social media/video work. Can I take the job?â
âThat should be fine,â Lukens replied the next day. âI donât see any problems.â
Berschauer's firm began working against the CRC, placing highway billboards and hiring a lobbyist to work the 2013 legislative session.
Monaghan also took aim at the project.
He wrote "Unhappiness on All Sides" (Feb. 14, 2013), on the eve of Oregon lawmakers' vote to fund the CRC, and "Requiem for a Boondoggle" (July 4, 2013), after the Washington Legislature declined to match Oregon's $450 million appropriation for the project.
Those editorials were no match for the unceasing flow of pro-CRC pieces Lukens' team produced for The Oregonian.
Following the Washington Legislature's refusal to fund the CRC last summer, Gov. John Kitzhaber cooked up an Oregon-only project, with a slimmed-down price tag of $2.8 billion.
In a Feb. 13 column in The Oregonian, Monaghan touched on the question of whether Oregon lawmakers would vote to proceed with the CRC in their February session, referring to the project as "a potential $2.8 billion present from Salem" to Washington Gov. Jay Inslee.
That would be Monaghan's last word on the CRC in the pages of the state's largest newspaper.
On Feb. 17, Lukens emailed Monaghan, asking about his political consulting work.
Monaghan says he told Lukens his objections to the CRC predated his writing for The Oregonian and the creation of Berschauer's company.
âMy opinions on the CRC are my own, and I arrived at them through a variety of publicly available sources,â he tells WW.
Lukens didn't buy that.
"The problem isn't that you worked for Leona, which would have been OK if you had avoided writing columns about matters in which Leona was involved," Lukens wrote to Monaghan in a Feb. 18 email. "The particular problem I see here is that you wrote numerous columns about the CRC, for which we paid you, during the very same period in which Leona was being paid to oppose the CRC.â
Monaghan replied via email that Berschauer never asked him to write about the CRC and that he valued his Oregonian column more than his Leona contract. That did not sway Lukens.
âAfter giving this a lot of thought, Iâve decided that weâre going to stop using your column,â Lukens wrote Feb. 18.
Lukens declined to comment on the decision to end Monaghanâs column. âI can tell you that itâs not as stated,â he told WW. âBeyond that, Iâm really not going to talk about it.â
Monaghan says he was "shocked" by Lukens' decision, because he felt he'd been transparent in seeking permission to work for Berschauer and had never been told there was a problem.
He suspects CRC advocates did him in.
"Who would have wanted me fired?" Monaghan says. "It's a little bit like 'who shot J.R.?' It could have been anybody who supports the CRC. That's a lot of people.â

This review is from: BenQ GW Series GW2750HM Glossy Black 27" 4ms (GTG) HDMI Widescreen LED Backlight LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 DC 20,000,000:1 (3000:1)
Pros: Perfect! Pushbuttons for all adjustments. Heavy base. Good viewing from across the room and from different angles. Only bought it to use as a monitor, but now even use it for movies and watch from across the room.
It's very easy to turn the brightness and contrast way down to work for hours in a pitch black room if you wanted to.
This monitor is phenomenal. No dark areas.
Cons: Built in speakers are just OK, but I gladly trade that off for freeing up desk space from separate speakers. If you want sound to fill a room, plug in speakers with more than the 2 watts that are built into this monitor.
Other Thoughts: The monitor is well made and suprisingly it's not too big to use for normal computer desktop work. I'm glad I bought this monitor instead of two 19" standard resolution monitors which I was considering.READ FULL REVIEW

Jay - no more Geek Trivia? This news is more difficult to accept than... ...watching the original Enterprise being destroyed in Star Trek III. ...hearing that Col. Potter's character (MASH) was shot down over the Sea of Japan. ...the news that Brittney Spears is making a come-back. Good luck, Jay. I'll truly miss your weekly trivia column!Of course, even in farewell my quibblers were on the case, as member michael pointed out:
Col. Henry Blake's plane was shot down over the Sea of Japan, not Col. Potter. I recall reading somewhere that that part of the script was not told to the M.A.S.H. cast in advance, or perhaps was told to them at the last minute, because the director wanted to capture the actors' real reactions to that plot twist. Anyway, I'm sorry to see Jay go.
Yeah, I was sorry to leave, which is why I couldn't stay away. Thanks for the trip down memory lane — and keep those quibbles coming!

Call for contributions for an issue of the jso Narratives of Mining in the Pacific: History, Literature, Politics, Heritage
Publication Date:

Announcement ID:
Mining in the Pacific is characterized by diversity and its role in the specific historical trajectories of the countries involved. A major economic, social and environmental issue, it traverses the region's colonial and post-colonial periods, and its socio-environmental impacts are extremely diverse. Depending on the locations in the Pacific in which it developed, mining activity has been a contributing factor to both environmental disasters and processes of economic development; it also triggered land and cultural problems when the establishment of mines involved territories with strong symbolic and heritage associations. Mining is about wealth, power, resources and meaning. It has left its marks on contemporary Oceanic societies and affects the future of the populations, often in a way involving conflict. This impact has been repeated at different times and in various contexts, and has always been the subject of narratives: narratives of a non-mining past, narratives of a glorified or difficult present, narratives of a future, the shape of which is sometimes too clearly delineated.
The representations of mining in history and literature can provide us with very revealing insights into the way in which it shaped the imaginations and representations of the populations and institutions involved according to varying modalities and temporalities (before, during and after the mine, for example). Hence, whether they originate from field surveys, policy narratives, archive sources or literary works, the task is to demonstrate the insights that mining narratives can provide about the way in which mining has shaped the imaginations and representations of the populations and institutions affected by the activity. How does mining participate in the grand narratives of communities and/or nations in the Pacific? How does it contribute to mythologies and development of collective memories? In which context and based on which factors does it move from the status of an economic activity with negative environmental impacts to that of an historical legacy which is valorized as a memory-based and material extension of a collective? In short, how and at what level (local, national, global) does it contribute to or, conversely, prevent the creation of what Benedict Anderson refers to as "imagined communities"?
The aim of this issue is to highlight both the variety of the issues associated with mining in the Pacific and their points of convergence through the prism of its narration: how is mining narrated, by whom, to which ends and with which effects? To cover this topic, papers are expected that analyse and contextualize tests, situations and historical legacies, artistic productions (i.e. literary, visual, cinematographic, dramatic, etc.) and museographic works relating to the different narratives of mining in the Pacific. Hence, what is involved is the demonstration of the variety of human experiences of mining in the Pacific region through the multiplicity of the narratives that evoke the discourses, practices and representations of this very particular topic.
Proposals, to be compiled in accordance with the Journal's style sheet, should be sent to the editorial staff as soon as possible (firstname.lastname@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.com), at least before December 31st.

Sophomore right-handed pitcher Nick Burdi, who has hit 100 mph several times in games this season, has been selected for the 2013 USA Baseball Collegiate National Team, which was announced earlier this week.
Burdi, who is a native of Downers Grove, Ill., has seven saves and a 0.89 ERA for the Cardinals this season. He has 41 strikeouts in 20.1 innings – 16 appearances – this season. Opponents are batting just .178 against Burdi.
The training for the team will be held June 21-July 2 in Cary, N.C., while the team will play July 6-11 in Japan and then July 18-23 in various U.S. cities.
Burdi becomes the sixth Louisville players to earn an invitation to the USA Collegiate National Team. Others that participated in the selection process include, Ryan Wright (2010), Justin Marks ('08) and Mark Jurich ('02).
Overall, Burdi is the 13th player coached or signed by Louisville head coach Dan McDonnell to earn international baseball experience.
Prior to last weekend's series at St. John's, Louisville hadn't lost two games in a row yet this season. Now, the Cardinals have dropped three straight.
U of L (30-10) lost Saturday and Sunday games at St. John's and then dropped a 10-2 decision to No. 3 Vanderbilt on Tuesday.
"It's very frustrating but I love this group," U of L coach Dan McDonnell said. "This is a talented group and the expectations are still high. We just hope to get a few more guys to click and a few more guys to get on a roll."
McDonnell said the disappointing part about the current slump is that it's not just offense or defense, but all parts of the team have had flaws.
Right now, now we are not playing defense or running bases well," McDonnell said. "It's all about pitching and defense – that's what makes the top 5 teams in the country – they pitch and they defend and if anything that frees up offense to be as good as they are. Right now, we're the opposite.
"We're ineffective on offense and that has carried over to bad defense and bad base running. We just have to readjust. We need to take a step back."
U of L will try to snap the streak on Friday night at 6 p.m. when it hosts Georgetown (23-15).
The second game of the series is slated for 1 p.m. on Saturday with the final game of the series set for Sunday at 1.
Admission is free.
Designated hitter Jeff Gardner is not one of the U of L players in a slump at the plate in recent games.
Gardner was named Big East Player of the Week last week and has a hit in 10 of his last 14 at-bats, including two home runs.
He's hitting .377 for the season.
"Jeff has really swung it well the last three weeks or so," McDonnell said. "That's a tough DH role where we rotate guys in and out of.
"We're looking to him a lot more often. He's really locked in."

HEREFORD - The final act in the controversial saga of former Deaf Smith County Tax Assessor-Collector Jeannine Zimmerman has finally been written.
Zimmerman pleaded guilty to a charge of delivery of a controlled substance and was sentenced to four years probation and a $1,500 fine. Meanwhile, the county is trying to move on and get things back to normal in a tax assessor-collector's office that has known nothing but turmoil for a year.
"That ought to be the end of the news involving Jeannine Zimmerman," District Attorney Jim English said Tuesday. "Hopefully, she'll continue following the law, serve out her probation and be a good citizen again."
The odd story started a year ago when Zimmerman reportedly stopped coming to work at the job she won in the 2000 election. Things picked up in June when Zimmerman's absenteeism became known in Hereford, leading to a public outcry.
English asked Texas Ranger Martin Hood to conduct an investigation into possible misdeeds in the office then decided to file a civil petition to remove Zimmerman from her position.
The plot thickened in mid-June with the arrest of Zimmerman and an acquaintance, James Porter Cook, on delivery of a controlled substance charges.
English began negotiations with Zimmerman and her attorney to get the assessor-collector out of office and resolve the criminal charges.
Zimmerman resigned in August. She was replaced by Theresa Garth, a longtime employee of the assessor-collector's office who lost the 2000 election to Zimmerman.
English said he normally would have asked for jail time on the charges Zimmerman was facing, but outside circumstances led him to recommend probation.
With the case against Cook still pending, English said he couldn't go into great detail about his decision on Zimmerman's related charges. The three main factors in the decision were Zimmerman's lesser involvement in the criminal case, her agreement to step down from office and her agreement to sign a no-sue agreement with the county.
"I think this just saves the county money," English said.

By KATHARINE Q. SEELYE LAWRENCE, Mass. — When Eddie Frasca was shooting up heroin, he occasionally sought out its more potent, lethal cousin, fentanyl. "It was like playing Russian roulette, but I didn't care," said Mr. Frasca, 30, a carpenter and barber who said he had been clean for four months. When he heard that someone had overdosed or even died from fentanyl, he would hunt down that batch. "I'd say to myself, 'I'm going to spend the least amount of money and get the best kind of high I can,' " he said. Fentanyl, which looks like heroin, is a powerful synthetic painkiller that has been laced into heroin but is increasingly being sold by itself — often without the user's knowledge. It is up to 50 times more powerful than heroin and up to 100 times more potent than morphine. A tiny bit can be fatal. In some areas in New England, fentanyl is now killing more people than heroin. In New Hampshire, fentanyl alone killed 158 people last year; heroin killed 32. (Fentanyl was a factor in an additional 120 deaths; heroin contributed to an additional 56.) "It sort of snuck up on us," said Detective Capt. Robert P. Pistone of the Haverhill Police Department in Massachusetts. He said that a jump in deaths in 2014 appeared to be caused by heroin, but that lab tests showed the culprit was fentanyl. Fentanyl represents the latest wave of a rolling drug epidemic that has been fueled by prescription painkillers, as addicts continue to seek higher highs and cheaper fixes. © 2016 The New York Times Company

Angus Chen You've probably heard that a little booze a day is good for you. I've even said it at parties. "Look at the French," I've said gleefully over my own cup. "Wine all the time and they still live to be not a day younger than 82." I'm sorry to say we're probably wrong. The evidence that alcohol has any benefit on longevity or heart health is thin, says Dr. Timothy Naimi, a physician and epidemiologist at Boston Medical Center. He and his colleagues published an analysis 87 of the best research studies on alcohol's effect on death from any cause in the Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs on Tuesday. "[Our] findings here cast a great deal of skepticism on this long, cherished belief that moderate drinking has a survival advantage," he says. In these studies, the participants get sorted into categories based on how much alcohol they think they drink. Researchers typically size up occasional, moderate and heavy drinkers against non-drinkers. When you do this, the moderates, one to three drinks a day, usually come out on top. They're less likely to die early from health problems like heart disease or cancer and injury. But then it gets very tricky, "because moderate drinkers tend to be very socially advantaged," Naimi says. Moderate drinkers tend to be healthier on average because they're well-educated and more affluent, not because they're drinking a bottle of wine a week on average. "[Their] alcohol consumption ends up looking good from a health perspective because they're already healthy to begin with." © 2016 npr

By Maryse Zeidler, CBC News Effective immediately, the overdose-reversing drug naloxone is available without a prescription in Canada. Health groups and advocates across the country have been clamouring for naloxone to be widely available in order to prevent deaths, following a flood of fatalities linked to street drugs containing the powerful opiate fentanyl. Health Canada issued a statement about the change on Tuesday following a brief consultation period that began in mid-January. The ministry said all 130 responses it received on the subject were in favour of the change. It said doctors, pharmacists and patient organizations were some of the groups included in the consultation. The most common comment, said Health Canada, was "the need for a more user-friendly dosage form." Currently the drug is administered through injection — it said a nasal-spray form isn't yet available in Canada. Other concerns included the need to train those administering the drug and the acknowledgement that making naloxone more widely available "is not the cure to the opioid abuse problem and we must not lose sight of the underlying causes of drug addiction."

People who want to quit smoking are more likely to succeed if they go "cold turkey" by stopping abruptly, a study in Annals of Internal Medicine shows. Volunteers who used this approach were 25% more likely to remain abstinent half a year from the date that they give up than smokers who tried to gradually wean themselves off instead. The NHS says that picking a convenient date to quit is important. Make a promise, set a date and stick to it, it advises. And sticking to the "not a drag" rule can really help too. "Whenever you find yourself in difficulty say to yourself, 'I will not have even a single drag' and stick with this until the cravings pass," the service says. And it recommends seeing a GP to get professional support and advice to give up smoking. In the British Heart Foundation-funded study, nearly 700 UK volunteers were randomly assigned to one of two groups - a gradual quit group or an immediate quit group. All of the participants were also offered advice and support and access to nicotine patches and replacement therapy, like nicotine gum or mouth spray - services which are available for free on the NHS. After six months, 15.5% of the participants in the gradual-cessation group were abstinent compared with 22% in the abrupt-cessation group. Lead researcher Dr Nicola Lindson-Hawley, from Oxford University, said: "The difference in quit attempts seemed to arise because people struggled to cut down. It provided them with an extra thing to do, which may have put them off quitting altogether." Even though more people in the study said they preferred the idea of quitting gradually than abruptly, individuals were still more likely to stop for good in the abrupt group. © 2016 BBC.

The CDC recommends non-opioid therapy, including exercise and over-the-counter pain medications, as the preferred treatment for chronic pain. It says opioids should only be prescribed — at the lowest effective dosage possible — when the benefits from pain reduction and bodily function outweigh the risks. In 2014, American doctors wrote nearly 200 million prescriptions for opioid painkillers, while deaths linked to the drugs climbed to roughly 19,000 — the highest number on record. The number of Canadians who die every year from opioids is not readily known — the Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse does not track the statistics — but Toronto physician Nav Persaud told CBC News in 2014 that more than 1,000 Canadians die from painkillers every year. A 2012 study says one in eight deaths among young adults age 25 to 34 in Ontario and one out of every 170 deaths in the province as a whole are opioid overdoses. One in four people who entered a withdrawal management program at St. Joseph's Healthcare in Hamilton, Ont., were opioid patients in 2012, up from one in ten in 2002. Other studies have cast doubt on the effectiveness of opioids on chronic pain, raising questions on whether its limited long-term effects are worth the harmful risks. "The science is clear," CDC director Tom Frieden said Tuesday. "For the vast majority of patients, the known and often fatal risks [of opioids] far outweigh the proven and transient benefits." ©2016 CBC/Radio-Canada.

By ANDREW POLLACK An experimental drug derived from marijuana has succeeded in reducing epileptic seizures in its first major clinical trial, the product's developer announced on Monday, a finding that could lend credence to the medical marijuana movement. The developer, GW Pharmaceuticals, said the drug, Epidiolex, achieved the main goal of the trial, reducing convulsive seizures when compared with a placebo in patients with Dravet syndrome, a rare form of epilepsy. GW shares more than doubled on Monday. If Epidiolex wins regulatory approval, it would be the first prescription drug in the United States that is extracted from marijuana. The drug is a liquid containing cannabidiol, a component of marijuana that does not make people high. As many as 30 percent of the nearly 500,000 American children with epilepsy are not sufficiently helped by existing drugs, according to GW. Parents of some of these children have been flocking to try marijuana extracts, prepared by medical marijuana dispensaries. A number of states, in response to pressure from these parents, have passed or considered legislation to make it easier to obtain marijuana-based products. And some families have become "marijuana refugees," moving to Colorado where it has been easier to obtain a particular extract, known as Charlotte's Web, after the girl who first used it to control seizures. Hundreds of other children and young adults have been using Epidiolex outside of clinical trials, under programs that allow desperate patients to use experimental drugs. While many parents have reported significant reductions in seizures, experts have been cautious about anecdotal reports, saying that such treatments needed to be compared with a placebo to make sure they work. As such, the results from the GW trial have been closely watched. © 2016 The New York Times Company

By KATHARINE Q. SEELYE CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — In Philadelphia last spring, a man riding a city bus at rush hour injected heroin into his hand, in full view of other passengers, including one who captured the scene on video. In Cincinnati, a woman died in January after she and her husband overdosed in their baby's room at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. The husband was found unconscious with a gun in his pocket, a syringe in his arm and needles strewn around the sink. Here in Cambridge a few years ago, after several people overdosed in the bathrooms of a historic church, church officials reluctantly closed the bathrooms to the public. "We weren't medically equipped or educated to handle overdoses, and we were desperately afraid we were going to have something happen that was way out of our reach," said the Rev. Joseph O. Robinson, rector of the church, Christ Church Cambridge. With heroin cheap and widely available on city streets throughout the country, users are making their buys and shooting up as soon as they can, often in public places. Police officers are routinely finding drug users — unconscious or dead — in cars, in the bathrooms of fast-food restaurants, on mass transit and in parks, hospitals and libraries. The visibility of drug users may be partly attributed to the nature of the epidemic, which has grown largely out of dependence on legal opioid painkillers and has spread to white, urban, suburban and rural areas. © 2016 The New York Times Company

By ANNA FELS THERE was something odd about my new patient. She was elegantly dressed and self-possessed, and yet she was slowly, rhythmically chewing gum, something I rarely see in my psychiatry sessions. Was she trying to cover up anxiety about this first encounter, I wondered, or was she perhaps hoping to project a kind of cool, laid-back style? We talked for a long time about why she had come to see me. Then, as is my practice with a new patient, I asked what, if any, psychiatric medications and nonprescription, psychoactive substances — legal or illegal — she had used. Her answer was a new one for me. She stated that she chewed approximately 40 pieces of nicotine gum per day and had done so for well over a decade. Responses to this question are often illuminating and can be rather humbling. Although doctors are trained to focus on prescription medications, there are and have always been nonprescription "remedies" for psychiatric conditions. And people's preferences for one type of substance over another can give a glimpse into their symptoms and even their brain chemistry. If a patient tells me he falls asleep on cocaine, I wonder if he might have attention deficit disorder. A patient who smokes marijuana to calm down before important business meetings leads me in the direction of social phobia or other anxiety disorders. I often wonder if people who take ketamine recreationally might be depressed, since this anesthetic has been shown to have antidepressant effects and is, in fact, being investigated for potential therapeutic use. Sorting through patients' uses of psychoactive substances, from cocaine to alcohol to coffee, leaves me with an appreciation of the wildly different neurochemistry of people's brains. One person will drink alcohol and feel euphoric, witty and extroverted, and the next will be logy and nauseated. © 2016 The New York Times Company

Angus Chen We know we should put the cigarettes away or make use of that gym membership, but in the moment, we just don't do it. There is a cluster of neurons in our brain critical for motivation, though. What if you could hack them to motivate yourself? These neurons are located in the middle of the brain, in a region called the ventral tegmental area. A paper published Thursday in the journal Neuron suggests that we can activate the region with a little bit of training. The researchers stuck 73 people into an fMRI, a scanner that can detect what part of the brain is most active, and focused on that area associated with motivation. When the researchers said "motivate yourself and make this part of your brain light up," people couldn't really do it. "They weren't that reliable when we said, 'Go! Get psyched. Turn on your VTA,' " says Dr. Alison Adcock, a psychiatrist at Duke and senior author on the paper. That changed when the participants were allowed to watch a neurofeedback meter that displayed activity in their ventral tegmental area. When activity ramps up, the participants see the meter heat up while they're in the fMRI tube. "Your whole mind is allowed to speak to a specific part of your brain in a way you never imagined before. Then you get feedback that helps you discover how to turn that part of the brain up or down," says John Gabrieli, a neuroscientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who was not involved with the work. © 2016 npr

Ewan Birney The Daily Mail recently ran an article about how alcohol abuse could harm future generations, via the (exciting-sounding) mechanism of trans-generational epigenetics. This is an emotive topic, combining a commonplace habit (drinking beer and wine) with a scary outcome (harming your children, grandchildren and future generations) and adding a twist of science for gravitas. It's not surprising that this research has been handed a megaphone by the mainstream press – but does the science stack up? To start with, the research was carried out in rats, as multi-generational experiments on humans are both grossly unethical and logistically extremely hard. This crucial bit of information is missing from both the Daily Mail headline and the paper's title. Secondly, the big effects of alcohol consumption were mainly seen on the rats' children and grandchildren – the effects on their great grandchildren were smaller. That is really important, because if there's no effect on great grandchildren, it's probably not due to epigenetics. Drinking large amounts of alcohol (for a rat) whilst pregnant would be expected to have an effect on the children and even the grandchildren. This is because the eggs of female mammals are made early on in foetal development, whilst a daughter is developing in the womb. So if that cell (the egg) also gives rise to a daughter, she will have directly experienced exposures that occurred during her maternal grandmother's pregnancy. © 2016 Guardian News and Media Limited or its affiliated companies.

With the opioid epidemic reaching into every corner of the U.S., more people are talking about addiction as a chronic disease rather than a moral failing. For researcher A. Thomas McLellan, who has spent his entire career studying substance abuse, the shift is a welcome one, though it has come frustratingly late. McLellan is co-founder of the Treatment Research Institute in Philadelphia and former deputy director of the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy. His work has focused on understanding addiction as a disease and improving the ways it is treated, a mission that took a personal turn midway through his career when he lost a son to overdose. NPR's Audie Cornish spoke with McLellan about how addiction is viewed and how that view has shaped the treatment system we have today. He also has suggestions on how to make it better. On why addiction has traditionally been seen as a criminal justice issue, not a health issue Think about it. If you didn't have brain science, which has just really emerged in the last two or three decades, all you had to look at was the behavior of addicted people. They are not pleasant people when they are in full addiction. They steal, they lie, they swear they're going to do something and they don't. It's quite easy to think of this as it has been thought of for literally hundreds of years: as a character disorder, as poor upbringing as a problem of parenting. And that's how we approached it. It's not coincidence that the Justice Department has played such a pivotal role. The emerging science shows this is a brain disease. It's got the same genetic transmutability as a lot of chronic illnesses. And the organ that it affects is the brain, and within the brain it is motivation, inhibition, cognition, all those things that produce the aberrant, unpleasant behaviors that are associated with addiction. © 2016 npr

By Roni Caryn Rabin Fatal prescription-drug overdoses in the United States have increased sharply in recent years. But while most of the deaths have involved opioid painkillers like oxycodone, a new study suggests that anti-anxiety medications now are playing an outsize role in overdose deaths. The number of Americans filling prescriptions for anti-anxiety drugs — benzodiazepines like Valium and Xanax that are used to treat anxiety, panic disorders and insomnia — increased 67 percent between 1996 and 2013, the study found. But the rate of overdose deaths involving these drugs increased more than fourfold. The analysis, published online last week in The American Journal of Public Health, found that 5.6 percent of American adults filled a benzodiazepine prescription in 2013, up from 4.1 percent in 1996. (The actual number of Americans filling a benzodiazepine prescription rose to 13.5 million in 2013, up from 8.1 million in 1996.) Meanwhile, the rate of overdose deaths involving anti-anxiety drugs reached 3.07 per 100,000 adults in 2013, up from 0.58 per 100,000 adults in 1996. With public attention focused primarily on opioid painkillers, the role of anti-anxiety drugs "fell under the radar," said Dr. Marcus Bachhuber, the study's author and an assistant professor of medicine at Montefiore Medical Center/Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx. Yet when benzodiazepines are abused or combined with other drugs or alcohol, they contribute to depressing the respiratory system, which can be deadly, he said. "If we're going to address the prescription drug crisis, we can't just focus on opioids," he said. "We need to think more broadly about other drugs, like benzodiazepines." © 2016 The New York Times Company

By GABRIELLE GLASER On the rainy fall morning of their first appointment, Dr. Mark Willenbring, a psychiatrist, welcomed a young web designer into his spacious office with a firm handshake and motioned for him to sit. The slender 29-year-old patient, dressed in a plaid shirt, jeans and a baseball cap, slouched into his chair and began pouring out a story of woe stretching back a dozen years. Addicted to heroin, he had tried more than 20 traditional faith- and abstinence-based rehabilitation programs. In 2009, a brother died of an OxyContin overdose. Last summer, he attempted suicide by swallowing a fistful of Xanax. When he woke up to find he was still alive, he overdosed on heroin. At a boot camp for troubled teenagers, he said, staffers beat him and withheld food. After he refused to climb a mountain in a team-building exercise, they strapped him to a gurney and dragged him up themselves. The young man in the psychiatrist's office paused, tears sliding down his cheeks. "Sounds like a prison camp," Dr. Willenbring said softly, leaning forward in his chair to pass a box of tissues. He began explaining the neuroscience of alcohol and drug dependence, 60 percent of which, he said, is attributable to a person's genetic makeup. Listening intently, the young patient seemed relieved at the idea that his previous failures in rehab might reflect more than a lack of will. Dr. Willenbring, 66, has repeated this talk hundreds of times. But while scientifically unassailable, it is not what patients usually hear at addiction treatment centers. © 2016 The New York Times Company

Allison Aubrey It's no secret that stimulant medications such as Adderall that are prescribed to treat symptoms of ADHD are sometimes used as "study drugs" aimed at boosting cognitive performance. And emergency room visits linked to misuse of the drug are on the rise, according to a study published Tuesday in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry. "Young adults in the 18- to 25-year age range are most likely to misuse these drugs," says Dr. Ramin Mojtabai, a professor at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and senior author of the study. A common scenario is this: A person who has been prescribed ADHD drugs gives or diverts pills to a friend or family member who may be looking for a mental boost, perhaps to cram for a final or prepare a report. And guess what? This is illegal. Overall, the study found that nonmedical use of Adderall and generic versions of the drug increased by 67 percent among adults between 2006 and 2011. The findings are based on data from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health. The number of emergency room visits involving Adderall misuse increased from 862 visits in 2006 to 1,489 in 2011 according to data from the Drug Abuse Warning Network . © 2016 npr

By SINDYA N. BHANOO The human brain is attracted to things that were once pleasing even if they no longer are, researchers report. Study participants were asked to find red and green objects on a computer screen filled with different colored objects. They received small rewards for finding the objects: $1.50 for the red ones and 25 cents for the green ones. The next day, while brain scans were conducted, participants were asked to find certain shapes on the screen. There was no reward, and color was irrelevant. Still, when a red object appeared, participants focused on it, and scans showed dopamine was released in their brains. "They are not getting a reward for that, yet part of the brain is saying, 'Oh, there's a reward — pay attention to it,'" said Susan M. Courtney, a cognitive neuroscientist at Johns Hopkins University and a co-author of the study in Current Biology. The findings may help researchers develop pharmaceutical treatments for problems like food or drug addiction. © 2016 The New York Times Company

Janet Raloff WASHINGTON ― Many people have turned to electronic cigarettes in hopes of avoiding the heart and cancer risks associated with smoking conventional tobacco products. But vaping appears far from benign, a trio of toxicologists reported February 11 and 12 at the American Association for the Advancement of Science annual meeting. If used as a means to totally wean people off of tobacco products, then e-cigarettes might have value, concedes Ilona Jaspers of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. But she's not sure. Unpublished data that she and the others presented at the meeting link e-cig products to a host of new risks. So vaping may not eliminate risks associated with conventional smoking, Jaspers maintains ― "and may actually be introducing new ones." Her group examined scraped cells from the noses of otherwise healthy people who had a history of smoking, vaping or doing neither. The researchers then measured the activity levels in these cells of 594 genes associated with the body's ability to fight infections. Among smokers, the activity of 53 genes was substantially diminished, compared with people who neither smoked nor vaped. Among vapers, those same 53 genes showed significantly diminished activity, Jaspers reported, as did 305 more. The normal role of these genes would suggest that the lung tissue as well as nasal tissue of smokers ― and especially vapers ―"may be more susceptible to any kind of infection." © Society for Science & the Public 2000 - 2016.

Could a painkiller turn people away from suicide? A preliminary trial of an opioid called buprenorphine shows that the drug can reduce suicidal thoughts after just one week. If validated in larger studies, it could become the first fast-acting anti-suicide drug. Such a drug is sorely needed. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that more than 9 million adults in the country reported having suicidal thoughts in 2013. Over a million went on to attempt suicide. "Around 400,000 suicidal people are coming to emergency rooms every year," says Elizabeth Ballard at the National Institute of Mental Health. "Pharmacologically, nothing has been approved for acute treatment of suicidal ideation so anything that can help them is greatly needed." When people seek help, they may be offered behavioural therapy or drugs such as antidepressants. But neither of these is guaranteed to alleviate feelings, and both can take six weeks or more to kick in. Ketamine, a drug being considered as an immediate treatment, can cause hallucinations and its effects wear off quickly. "Having something you could use on your own outside of a hospital would be beneficial," says Ballard. Jaak Panksepp at Washington State University and his colleagues decided to see whether an opioid can counter suicidal feelings. Opioids are one of the brain's natural feel-good chemicals. They are released to relieve pain when we hurt ourselves, and are involved when we deal with mental pain, such as that caused by social rejection, a common trigger for suicidal thoughts. © Copyright Reed Business Information Ltd.

By Diana Kwon Antidepressants are some of the most commonly prescribed medications out there. More than one out of 10 Americans over age 12—roughly 11 percent—take these drugs, according to a 2011 report by the National Center for Health Statistics. And yet, recent reports have revealed that important data about the safety of these drugs—especially their risks for children and adolescents—has been withheld from the medical community and the public. In the latest and most comprehensive analysis, published last week in BMJ (the British Medical Journal),a group of researchers at the Nordic Cochrane Center in Copenhagen showed that pharmaceutical companies were not presenting the full extent of serious harm in clinical study reports, which are detailed documents sent to regulatory authorities such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) when applying for approval of a new drug. The researchers examined documents from 70 double-blind, placebo-controlled trials of two common types of antidepressants—selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI) and serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRI)—and found that the occurrence of suicidal thoughts and aggressive behavior doubled in children and adolescents who used these medications. This paper comes on the heels of disturbing charges about conflicts of interest in reports on antidepressant trials. Last September a study published in the Journal of Clinical Epidemiology revealed that a third of meta-analyses of antidepressant studies were written by pharma employees and that these were 22 times less likely than other meta-studies to include negative statements about the drug. © 2016 Scientific American

By Sara Solovitch It was November 2012 when Dennis Hartman, a Seattle business executive, managed to pull himself out of bed, force himself to shower for the first time in days and board a plane that would carry him across the country to a clinical trial at the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) in Bethesda. After a lifetime of profound depression, 25 years of therapy and cycling through 18 antidepressants and mood stabilizers, Hartman, then 46, had settled on a date and a plan to end it all. This clinical trial would be his last stab at salvation. For 40 minutes, he sat in a hospital room as an IV drip delivered ketamine through his system. Several more hours passed before it occurred to him that all his thoughts of suicide had evaporated. "My life will always be divided into the time before that first infusion and the time after," Hartman says today. "That sense of suffering and pain draining away. I was bewildered by the absence of pain." Ketamine, popularly known as the psychedelic club drug Special K, has been around since the early 1960s. It is a staple anesthetic in emergency rooms, regularly used for children when they come in with broken bones and dislocated shoulders. It's an important tool in burn centers and veterinary medicine, as well as a notorious date-rape drug, known for its power to quickly numb and render someone immobile.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Moss W. from Absolutely fabulous! The Puri 6 Light Pendant is absolutely beautiful! The finishes including shade fabric were as described and the product very well detailed. Each fixture has the capacity of six 60 watt bulbs but we used six 40 watt bulbs on a dimmer and the fixtures (we purchased three total for our client's commercial office space) look fantastic. The fixtures allow the space to read as a "living room" without looking too residential. Very pleased.

Can this pendant be mounted on a sloped ceiling? What are the total lumens it emits?
Hi there! This has a "hang straight" ball joint in the canopy allowing you to mount this to a sloped ceiling, and the fixture will hang perpendicularly to the floor. This fixture is incandescent, not LED and is measured in watts used. This uses six 60W A19 Medium Base (E26) Incandescent bulb or compatible A19 Medium Base (E26) CFL or replaceable LED. For bulb options we refer our clients to bulb-only retailers like 1000bulbs.com, bulbs.com, or bulbman.com to order replacement bulbs. We ourselves refer to these sites all the time to compare bulb options.

A good example of a shock site would be: www.whatmannerof.com

A website used with the express purpose of shocking the living crap out of anyone you link it to. Examples include felch.me, tubgirl, lemonparty, and goatse.
Watch out for that link. I clicked on it and it redirects to a shock site, felch.me - eugh!!

A website that tricks the user into doing something (usually by creating a fake link), but when the user visits the site, the site just shows them something gross, perverted, or just plain stupid.
Some examples of shock sites are www.lemonparty.org, 2 Girls 1 Cup, www.k-k-k.com, pain olympics, and 1 man 1 jar. I have to admit though, when I think of them, I laugh so hard my heart hurts!!!!!!!! XD

An autobiographic novel,
Ce commentaire fait référence ŕ cette édition : A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (Broché)
Although the hero of James Joyce's novel is called Stephen Dedalus, the events and characters depicted in it parallel the author's own experiences. In his early childhood, at the very beginning of the 20th century, Stephen was sent to Clongowes, a Jesuit boarding school near Dublin. He disliked the place because his classmates bullied him, because he was taught religion in a dogmatic way and because he was flogged unjustly by his prefect of studies. After that he spent a summer with his uncle Charles in Dublin. Stephen was then sent to Belvedere college, which he disliked as much as Clongowes. The spirit of quarrelsome comradeship couldn't turn him away from his habits of quiet obedience. He mistrusted the agitation and doubted the sincerity of such comradeship, which he felt was an awful anticipation of adulthood.
Stephen was by then aware that he didn't belong. He also felt more and more estranged from his father after having accompanied him once to Cork and witnessed his drinking habits, a journey which ended in Stephen's first experience in love making - a sordid one.
More disappointment followed as Stephen went to university, thus becoming a disillusioned young man - a disillusionment caused by academicism, love and sex, his parents, religion and perhaps also his own country, Ireland...

'Arbeit Macht Frei' – in Detroit Packard Plant
Jewish groups are outraged over a sign hanging at the Packard Plant in Detroit imitating the infamous sign above the entrance to the Nazi death camp in Auschwitz. The sign, in the original German, promises "Arbeit Macht Frei"—"Work will make you Free."
"This graffiti is offensive to Jews and particularly to Holocaust survivors," Heidi Budaj, regional director of the Anti-Defamation League, told the Detroit Free Press.
Stephen Goldman, executive director of the Holocaust Memorial Center Zekelman Family Campus in Farmington Hills, said: "This message is offensive on so many levels. It … needs to be taken down." He noted that many Holocaust survivors live in Michigan.
John Bologna, an attorney for the owner of the site, said on Monday the company was going to remove it, but as of Tuesday afternoon, the sign still there.
"I was distressed to hear of the" sign, Budaj told DFP. "The prominent display of this quote at a historic Detroit landmark is disturbing and deeply offensive to victims of the Holocaust and to those who fought valiantly in World War II."
Niraj Warikoo, writing for DFP, noted that the style of the lettering in the Packard sign "has specific similarities to the Nazi sign at Auschwitz that made it unique: for example, the upper half of the letter 'B' in "Arbeit" ("Work") is bigger than the lower half, just like it is in Auschwitz."
No one knows who put up the sign and whether it is meant to be an ironic comment on the company's treatment of its employees.
Regardless of the intent, Goldman said the sign is deeply offensive.
"As an artist, you should know better," Goldman said. "I see no value to seeing this as a message, … That's a poor image to use."
Budaj said: "This message strikes at the very memory of a symbol representing the cruel cynicism of Nazism. This sign greeted more than one million prisoners as they were herded into the Auschwitz nightmare with the duplicitous message that 'work sets you free.'"
"It's a form of hate speech," David Schulman, a Huntington Woods resident, told the Free Press on Monday.
The FBI in Detroit would not comment on whether it is investigating the sign as a hate crime.
It looks to me like this is an expression of a few Packard employees' deep resentment toward Packard, which must be pretty heated if they went for such a harsh metaphor.
For future references, if you are an employee angry at your company, I recommend "Me ne frego" ("I don't give a damn!"), which was the Italian Fascist movement's slogan. It's just as poignant if you're a student of history, and it won't upset the ADL.Yori Yanover

Norman Solomon: If there's a defining issue that now separates the Obama party leadership from social decency, it is the president's push to cut Social Security benefits.
Which Members of Congress Are Standing Up for Economic Decency – And Which "Progressives" Aren't
Norman Solomon: As battles over key issues of economic fairness intensify on Capitol Hill, we're very likely to see a lot of Democrats — led by President Obama — preening themselves as virtuously non-dogmatic while they rebuff the minimal humanistic demands of progressive constituencies.
Cenk Uygur: Can Progressives Reclaim the Democratic Party?
Sharon Kyle: Cenk is viewed as a kindred spirit by many in the Caucus, partly because of his unyielding progressive stance but also because Uygur is no stranger to challenging the status quo.
Democratic Caucuses Support Move to End Afghanistan War
The chairs of the Veterans Caucus and Progressive Caucus of the California Democratic Party today praised the Obama Administration's announcement that the U.S. would end combat operations in the war in Afghanistan in 2013.
"Occupy" Occupies California's Democratic Party
Dick Price: If a meeting this past weekend between representatives from a half dozen Occupy encampments in California and perhaps 200 members of the California Progressive Caucus is any guide, the Occupy Movement has already tapped into older generations of progressive activists who are eager to support, leverage, and amplify the Occupyers' ground-breaking work.
Occupy Needs to Just Say No to the Super Committee
Andy Love: The Occupy Movement will need to evolve if it is going to continue to have broad appeal and an effect on what happens in this country. The fact that this is on the mainstream media radar is, I think, a good sign and I think that Occupy can and will continue to be a force.
What's Next for Obama and Democrats?
Tom Hayden: Launch a campaign progressive to the core, with no compromises on ending tax cuts for the rich and trillion-dollar wars.
Primary Lessons
Vijay Prashad: In the Progressive Caucus there was unanimity in the critique, but some hesitation over the way ahead. A few people felt that the far right was dangerous, and it seemed unsafe to unhinge what appeared to be Obama's walkover in 2012.
Soul of a Nation, Audacity of Nope
The Progressive Caucus and Veterans Caucus present a joint presentation at the California Democratic Party's E-Board meeting on July 30th.
The Progressive Caucus Budget
We hear a lot about Ryan's budget and the President's budget but we're not hearing very much about the Congressional Progressive Caucus Budget which appears to be more in line with what the average middle class American wants and needs. What's up with that?
Top "Tossup" House Race for Progressives: Raul Grijalva
Norman Solomon: Demagogues in the Republican Party, and their Democratic allies, will say this is about amnesty and open borders. No matter how many times they repeat it, it won't be true.
Who Let the Blue Dogs Out?
Norman Solomon: It's one thing to support a Blue Dog Democrat in a general election against a Republican. It's quite another thing for members of the Progressive Caucus to defend a Blue Dog Democrat against a primary challenge from a genuine progressive Democrat. In the case of the Harman-Winograd race, the best grassroots response from progressives around the country will be to strongly support the Winograd campaign between now and Election Day, June 8.
