The public is not in the habit of paying attention to who runs what in the social agencies of the Downtown Eastside unless, of course, it turns out the people running the social welfare agencies stay in $800 hotel rooms. In that case, welcome to Page 1!
In general, though, the politics of the Downtown Eastside are dreary and tiresome — a swamp one has to trudge through.
Thus, it wouldn't be high in the public's radar that Janice Abbott, executive director of the Atira Women's Resource Society, one of the largest social housing agencies in the Downtown Eastside, is married to Shayne Ramsay, CEO of BC Housing, the provincial government body responsible for funding and overseeing such housing.
But their marriage, which took place in 2010, is public knowledge in that it has attracted occasional comment in the media.
The issue those media comments addressed was, of course, the danger of a conflict of interest. In September 2012, for example, Vancouver Courier columnist Allen Garr made an astute observation of the separation between the couple's personal and official relationships when he wrote:
"It is incredulous to believe that this has not influenced BC Housing staff in their decision making. It simply defies any understanding of human nature to think that the relationship hasn't seriously infected the whole dynamic among social agencies all fighting for the same projects."
In their own defence, Ramsay and Abbott have repeatedly claimed there is no conflict, or that if a possible conflict did exist it had been resolved. Ramsay has stated he must formally recuse himself whenever matters involving Atira arise within BC Housing.
At this, we have to take them at their word, which in itself is problematic. They never talk shop between the second glass of wine and brushing their teeth before bedtime? Well, OK.
But a conflict of interest doesn't just manifest itself in cases that can be proven to be so: It also manifests itself in the appearance of a conflict of interest. As Garr pointed out, human nature is a funny and ineffable thing. And bosses don't need to visibly exert power to wield it. That is, my publisher doesn't have to be in the newsroom for me to feel him looking over my shoulder. And if my publisher had got his kid a job in the newsroom, I'm sure as hell not going to be slagging his father around the water cooler.
The subject of relationships has been an explosive issue in the Downtown Eastside, nor are they new to the neighbourhood. In 2010, the provincial government brought suit against the once venerable Downtown Eastside Residents Association for improper use of rent-subsidy payments and failure to pay $500,000 in back taxes. There were accusations then that the organization was riddled with nepotism and favouritism.
Most recently, the province's financial review and audit of the Portland Hotel Society uncovered the society employing friends of friends in its affiliate organizations for great profit. Its co-executive directors were husband and wife who kept an office in the basement of their home, for which they billed the society some $1,400 a month. The brother of the Portland's senior accountant was sole shareholder of three of the society's affiliates. The audit repeatedly referred to the dangers of non-arms length relationships between the board of directors and the management as compromising the society's governance.
One irony in all the exposure of the Portland's troubles was Shayne Ramsay's role in it. Last week, when the government made the financial review and audit public, there was Ramsay at the press conference taking questions from the media on all the Portland's cosy relationships.
But when an internal audit of Atira came to The Sun's attention — one stating there was "significant doubt on the ability of Atira Women's Resource Society to continue as a going concern" — Ramsay, because of his marriage to Abbott, must recuse himself on the issue. Or, at least, I assume he must. At any rate, he failed to respond to interview requests Wednesday from both me and Sun reporter Jeff Lee.
That audit showed a non-profit that was severely financially stressed, with a working capital deficiency on the books of almost $2.25 million and an accumulated deficit of almost $1.27 million.
Abbott, however, assured us everything was fine, and that any deficit, caused by renovations to dilapidated SRO hotels Atira had been contracted by BC Housing to operate, had been covered by an injection of almost $840,000 from BC Housing.
Is that a conflict of interest?
B.C. Housing Minister Rich Coleman, Ramsay's boss, asked for comment Wednesday, said no, and that Ramsay had always been upfront with him about their relationship. The government, Coleman said, had erected "the appropriate firewalls" to separate any business or government interaction between them.
"People are allowed to have relationships, Pete," Coleman said.
But we are talking about more than relationships here. We are talking about perception. And the public is allowed to look on the growing swamp that is the Downtown Eastside and wonder if the provincial government has done its best to clean that swamp or has allowed it to grow.
This is a conflict of interest.
It should end.

Who is he?
Noboru is a charming man who is pleasant in his interactions with others, open, friendly, communicative and understanding. All the same, even though he appears shy, discreet and unassuming, he is actually shared between his concern and attention for others and his personal desire to be recognized for his true worth. He is indeed an ambitious man and wants to be one of life´s winners. Cheerful and enthusiastic, he can nevertheless be quite impatient and thanks to his nervous and capricious nature he is not immune to outbursts of anger. Quick-witted, adaptable and skilful, Noboru is endowed with considerable practical sense and an excellent memory. He has no intellectual problems and excels at oral and written expression, while he has a gift for foreign languages. He is conscious of his charm and knows just how to use it, and thanks to his incredible powers of persuasion he usually manages to get his way. His cleverness and adaptability are very useful assets. A curious character, he is unfortunately inclined to dissipation as a result of his thirst for diversity and change. As a child, he is highly emotional and significantly influenced by his family. His imagination is immense and could engender a certain amount of anxiety or fear, which often means that he is a timorous child who requires plenty of reassurance in order to feel emotionally secure. He is quite proud, however, and he could grow up to be a smooth-talker and perhaps even quite a braggart... He is well-liked and appreciated for his friendly nature, and loves nothing more than being surrounded by friends with whom he can have a laugh and a jolly good time.
What does he like?
Noboru has a few grandiose dreams that he would like to make manifest: to be admired, to be in charge and to be the best at whatever he does... and this could effectively be expressed through a professional ambition to which he will devote much energy and determination. On the other hand, he also enjoys being the centre of attention, and is happiest when at a table of friends with whom he reveals himself to be a pleasant and charming host, light-hearted and playful. Furthermore, a pleasure orientated hedonist; he is a sensual man who accords great importance to his love life. He is demanding and quite the perfectionist, and is rather inclined to want to impose his desires, tastes and opinions... But could he be a little too domineering?

What does he do?
He is best suited to an occupation that favours contact with others and allows him to retain his independence. He could therefore be attracted to a career in sales and marketing, catering, occupations connected with the voice and the spoken word (teacher, attorney), or indeed the written word (secretary, writer...), as well as those requiring manual dexterity (handicraft, skilled tradesman...).

NEA president: Vouchers are a bad idea for students with disabilities
NEA president reacts to Gov. Sarah Palin's plan to help students with disabilities
WASHINGTON - October 24, 2008 -
Gov. Sarah Palin delivered her first major policy speech today, laying out the campaign's plans to fully fund the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. Palin said she and Sen. John McCain want to boost funding for special needs children and create a voucher system for parents allowing them to use federal dollars to send their child to either a public or private school.
The following can be attributed to NEA President Dennis Van Roekel:
"NEA has long supported fully funding the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act-but failed voucher schemes will not help accomplish that goal. Our most vulnerable students need to be able to count on the services promised to them by the federal government. And those services should be provided in the child's neighborhood schools.
"The reality is that parents and children would lose a number of rights if special education services were funded through vouchers. Right now, parents and school employees help develop an Individualized Education Program (IEP) that helps students receive services tailored to their needs. IEPs must be reviewed periodically, they can be revised and they are enforceable by law. But when parents accept a voucher, these protections do not apply. We must have an accountability system that protects students with disabilities.
"Thirty years ago, the government promised to pay 40 percent of the cost of educating children with special needs. That promise remains unfulfilled to this day. Sen. McCain claims that he would exempt special needs programs from the spending freeze he has been touting during the debates. However, the campaign promise does not seem to match Sen. John McCain's voting record. He has voted against granting additional health benefits to children with special needs. McCain does not support mandatory Medicaid coverage for people with disabilities.
"America's families don't want voucher schemes. They want a real plan to address our country's education needs and the needs of students with disabilities.
"Sen. Barack Obama's record demonstrates that he is fully committed to students with special needs. He will fully fund IDEA, while making sure the services are available through neighborhood schools. He will make sure every student has access to the health benefits they need."

Great win last night for the Bucs. Ryan Doumit was 4-4 including a three run bomb. Jose Veras came into a tough spot and froze Albert Pujols looking with the game on the line. James McDonald got the win (number 8 on the year) but I won't be able to update the Searage Shaves Standings for a few days. Hopefully there will be a few others to add by then too.
The excitement didn't end there as the Pirates signed the #1 pick in the draft Gerrit Cole but also signed their #2 pick Josh Bell. Cole's signing was expected but Bell was a first round talent who fell because it was believed he would follow through on his commitment to the University of Texas. Superb job by Neal Huntington to get both guys in the fold.

It's long been known that vitamin D helps protect our bones, but the question of whether taking vitamin D supplements helps guard immunity has been more controversial. An analysis published Wednesday suggests the sunshine vitamin can help reduce the risk of respiratory infections, including colds and flu — especially among people who don't get enough of the vitamin from diet or exposure to sunlight.
Researchers pooled data from 25 studies that included more than 10,000 participants. The studies looked at whether vitamin D supplements cut the number of infections.
"We found that overall there was a modest protective effect," says Dr. Adrian Martineau, a clinical professor of respiratory infection and immunity at Queen Mary University of London who led the research team. Overall, he says, vitamin D supplements seemed to reduce the risk of infection about 10 percent.
People who had been vitamin D deficient when they enrolled in the studies saw more benefit. Their risk of infection was cut in half, according to the findings.
"What we found is that those with the lowest vitamin D levels experienced the greatest benefit from supplementation," Martineau says.
Acute respiratory infections are responsible for millions of emergency department visits in the United States each year, says Carlos Camargo, a professor of epidemiology at Harvard Medical School and a senior author of the study. He says their findings support the notion that more foods should be fortified with vitamin D.
The U.S. has long fortified foods with vitamin D, including milk and other dairy products. Many food companies supplement orange juice products and cereals, too. And certain foods like sardines and other oily fish naturally contain significant levels of vitamin D. For instance, a serving of salmon can have almost a whole day's worth of vitamin D. And the body produces its own vitamin D when exposed to sunlight.
So not everyone is convinced that this study should lead us all to the supplement aisle.
According to recommendations from the Institute of Medicine, most adults need about 600 IU (international units) of vitamin D per day. Adults 70 years old and older are advised to increase their intake to 800 IUs per day.
Many Americans don't routinely get this amount from their diets, so a multivitamin can help make up the shortfall. "The standard multivitamin has about 400 IUs," says Steven Abrams, a professor of pediatrics at the Dell Medical School at the University of Texas at Austin. He was a member of the Institute of Medicine panel that wrote the vitamin D recommendations for children and adults.
Abrams says the guidelines, issued in 2010, were based on evidence that vitamin D helps protect bone health. "Now the controversy is whether there's enough evidence about other diseases to make [new] recommendations."
Over the last 10 years, a number of studies have suggested that the sunshine vitamin can help prevent disease. That has led people to think that higher doses of supplements are better. But Abrams says he's not convinced there's a benefit of taking a supplement for people who are not deficient. "It needs further studies to confirm."
Abrams says the importance of the new study is that it's a summary of 25 controlled trials. "And it shows that people with very low vitamin D [levels] do better when they're given supplements." He says this is not too surprising. "If you're deficient, getting an adequate amount will make a difference."
In other words, if you're getting the recommended 600 IUs of vitamin D from your diet, a supplement may not lead to any further benefit. But the growing interest in vitamin D has lots of people curious about their levels.
"Many of our patients come in and say: I want to be tested for vitamin D," says Monique Tello, a primary care doctor at Massachusetts General in Boston who has written about vitamin D levels. A lot of people suspect they're deficient, but she says determining the right level can be tricky.
The IOM report estimated that a vitamin D blood level of 20 ng/mL or higher was adequate for good bone health, and that anything below that was deficient.
But a 2011 guideline from the Endocrine Society says that people should consider a blood level of 30 ng/mL as the minimum. Contrast that with a study published last year in The New England Journal of Medicine, which says that both the IOM panel's and the Endocrine Society's cutoffs are too high, and that 12.5 ng/mL is an appropriate definition for deficiency. That was based on national survey data finding that less than 6 percent of Americans had vitamin D levels lower than 12.5.
And in 2014, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force said there's not enough evidence of benefit for all people to be routinely tested for vitamin D deficiency.
Certain groups of people are at higher risk of vitamin D deficiency, including people with digestive disorders such as celiac disease and people who cover up most of their skin or get very little exposure to the sun. And pregnant and nursing women, as well as women with osteopenia or osteoporosis, often need more vitamin D to maintain bone health.
"People [at higher risk] should get tested," Tello says. She says when a patient's blood screening test shows levels of vitamin D between 20 and 32 ng/ml, "I recommend that they take between 1,000 and 2,000 international units of vitamin D daily, indefinitely."
Tello says that if a patient has a blood level below 20 ng/ml, then she usually recommends they temporarily take a higher dose of supplements.
The Institute of Medicine says that adults shouldn't take more than 4,000 IU a day.
A new study finds vitamin D can help reduce the risk of colds and flu. Researchers say it's some of the best evidence yet that vitamin D may have benefits beyond keeping our bones strong. So who knows? Maybe we need some in my family. But the question is should we take supplements to get more of it and how much? NPR's Allison Aubrey reports.
ALLISON AUBREY, BYLINE: It's long been known that vitamin D, which we get from the sunshine and from our diets, helps protect our bones. But in recent years, researchers have studied whether vitamin D may also boost immunity and cut the risk of sickness. Adrian Martineua of Queen Mary University of London says there are now 25 studies that include more than 10,000 participants that have tested whether vitamin D supplements can help protect against colds and the flu. And when he and his collaborators at Harvard Medical School put all the data together and analyzed it, they found taking extra vitamin D did seem to be beneficial.
ADRIAN MARTINEAU: The headline finding, the first thing we found, was that overall there was a modest protective effect of vitamin D against respiratory infections in the population as a whole.
AUBREY: Supplements cut the risk of colds and flu overall about 10 percent. But when they focused on people who were known to have very low levels of vitamin D, they found that, for them, taking a daily or weekly supplement had a bigger benefit.
MARTINEAU: What we found was that those with the lowest vitamin D levels, you can take a vitamin D supplement, you can reduce your risk of a respiratory infection by around 50 percent. It's quite a large effect.
AUBREY: Now, just after I interviewed Dr. Martineau yesterday, I thought to myself, well, it's cold, it's dark, and I haven't seen much of the sun. And everyone around me, including my editors, seems to be fighting off bad viruses. Maybe I should stop at the drugstore and pick up some vitamin D. But then I spoke to Steve Abrams. He's a physician and professor of pediatrics at the Dell Medical School at The University of Texas at Austin. He was part of an expert panel that wrote guidelines several years back on how much vitamin D children and adults in the U.S. should get.
STEVEN ABRAMS: The recommendation for most adults is that they have 600 units per day of vitamin D intake.
AUBREY: My first question to him was what dose of a supplement he takes.
ABRAMS: I don't actually take a supplement.
AUBREY: Abrams says, living in Texas, he sees a fair amount of sun, and he gets vitamin D from his diet.
ABRAMS: A glass of milk, an eight-ounce glass of milk for example, will provide a little over 100 units per day.
AUBREY: That's a chunk of what you need. And since milk and other dairy products - as well as many orange juices and cereals - are fortified, Abrams says these can all be good sources, too. The other excellent source is oily fish. One serving of salmon can provide almost a whole day's worth of vitamin D. Abrams says given that many Americans don't eat much fish and don't get enough sunshine, taking a multivitamin that contains vitamin D is a reasonable option.
ABRAMS: The standard multivitamins usually have 400 units per day.
AUBREY: So that's enough for many people but not for everyone. Monique Tello is a primary care doctor at Massachusetts General in Boston. She says lots of patients come in asking to be tested, and certain people are at higher risk of not getting enough vitamin D. This includes many postmenopausal women, those who cover their skin and people with conditions such as celiac disease.
MONIQUE TELLO: Those people should get tested. You know, we should have an idea of where their level's at and just make sure that it's acceptable.
AUBREY: Tello says when a screening test shows insufficient levels...
TELLO: I recommend that they take between 1,000 and 2,000 international units of vitamin D daily indefinitely.
AUBREY: And for people with a severe deficiency, Tello says there are cases when much higher doses are recommended - at least in the short term. Allison Aubrey, NPR News.

Depression is considered as one of the most common forms of psychiatric disorders. Depression is a disabling condition that not only affects the health and wellbeing of the patient but also adversely affects the family. Every year the prevalence of depression is rapidly increasing across the world. Anxiety is a reaction to stress. Normally, it is characterized as an urge to deal with adverse situations. However, extreme levels of anxiety may be called anxiety disorder. This disorder is characterized on the basis of the behavior of the individual. The major forms of anxiety disorders include obsessive-compulsive disorder, phobias, post-traumatic stress disorder, and panic disorder.
The causes of both the above disorders are not comprehensively established. The several causes of depression and anxiety disorders include lower level of some neurotransmitters, genetic inheritance, psychological reasons, emotional upheavals, and also due to environmental, spiritual, and social factors. There is no uniform pattern of treatment for patients suffering with depression or anxiety disorders. Any treatment that works on one patient may not be as effective on another.
Thus the treatments for depression and anxiety disorders are customized. Out of the various modes of therapies available for depression, psychotherapy is the most common. Psychodynamic therapy, behavioral therapy, and interpersonal therapy are the major types of psychotherapies used for treating depression. The various medications used in treatment for depression are selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, dual-action antidepressants, atypical antidepressants, mood stabilizers and anticonvulsants, tricyclic antidepressants, and monoamine oxidase inhibitors.
In addition, medications for anxiety are found to be substantially helpful in treating patients with anxiety disorders whose daily function is being disturbed due to the illness. The medications that are often used for treating anxiety disorders are benzodiazepines and antidepressants. Furthermore, in some cases, electroconvulsive therapy is also found to be useful in severe cases. In addition to the above therapeutic methods, lifestyle changes are also prescribed to the patients. The other less often and/or auxiliary methods of treating depression and anxiety disorders are music therapy, botanical medicines, mind-body practice, naturopathic medicine, and homeopathy.
The major antidepressants and anti-anxiety drug manufacturers include pharmaceutical companies such as AstraZeneca, Eli Lilly and Company, Johnson and Johnson, Pfizer, Inc., Sanofi-Aventis, Merck and Company, Inc., GlaxoSmithKline, and others.

Cable Posts 8.4% Ad Spending Gain Through Q3: Nielsen
By: Linda Moss, Multichannel News
Advertising spending declined by just under 1% through the first three quarters of the year versus the same period last year, according to preliminary figures released Thursday by Nielsen.
While ad spending has dipped 0.6% overall, cable TV has seen the most growth of any media category, climbing 8.4% over the same period last year. Hispanic cable TV saw a 1.1% gain in the first three quarters.
In general, television showed the most growth, representing four of the top five media categories. After a 6% dip through the first half of the year, network TV -- thanks to a boost from NBC's Olympic broadcasts -- worked its way back up to a slight growth, up 0.9%, through the third quarter.

It is because of both of these facts that her assistant Kazit spent some time each week attending to correspondence from his contacts in rare books and publications. (He never told her he what he was doing, or that he charged it as overhead on his timecard.)
Boss Mida's office was sparsely decorated, but Kazit knew that in her home she had, hidden behind a frankly alarming display of taxidermied bears, an impressive collection of steamy romance novels. He had first become aware of her hobby when Passionate Azeroth began arriving monthly at the office, followed soon by Goblins and Gears in Fiction. A closer peek at the bookshelf had revealed titles like Outlandser, Emerald Dream Man, Hyjal's Mountain, Silverleaf from the Maelstrom, and seemingly everything ever published by Julix Sparkwood. Many of the volumes came with dust jackets printed with fanciful images of shirtless men, orcs, and even gnomes gallivanting on sunset beaches with swooning women, trolls, and dwarves.
For the most part, Mida didn't need help acquiring books. She had the means to maintain a personal library, and her periodicals kept her up to date on current publications. Her biggest vice was collecting the extremely limited edition works of an author known only as M. J. Robb. Mida had confessed to Kazit that her greatest dream was to own a complete collection of the author's works, and so Kazit had gone quietly to work.
No one seemed to know much about the mysterious author beyond the neatly handwritten manuscripts that she or he would send to the publisher once or twice a year. Popular consensus said Robb was human, likely located in Elwynn Forest or Redridge. By funding limitations or by design, Robb's works were printed sparingly and hard to find new. However, Kazit was nothing if not determined, and he managed to scare up used copies of Big Brass Bombs, Blue Moon, Forbidden Love, and Northern Exposure in Common and Orcish. He even found a special edition printing of Big Brass Bombs in Gnomish, which Mida had actually framed and hung above her headboard.
When Kazit received the hastily-written note announcing a new novel from a goblin correspondent in Theramore, he simply put the requested amount of gold in a pouch, mailed it off, and marked the release date with a star on his calendar.
Now the book, wrapped in innocuous brown paper and without even so much as a mailing address, was waiting patiently for Mida on her desk. She breezed in at her usual time, half-drunk cup of coffee in one hand and handful of reports in the other, and passed Kazit with her typical cheerful hello. Kazit smiled slightly to himself as he heard his boss put down her papers and unwrap the package. There was an audible intake of breath, and he imagined her running her fingers over the pristine cover, the glossy lettering Shatter My Heart embossed over a full moon.
There was the rustle as she reverently thumbed through the pages, appreciating the heft of the book, and Kazit allowed himself to recall the passage he had read when, in a fit of curiosity, he had cracked open the book before re-wrapping it.
Hesitantly, Marcus followed his guide into the basement. The air smelled dry and musty, and dust swirled lazily at their feet. Although Marcus peered in vain into the gloom beyond the circle of firelight, Sophia appeared to see just fine in the dark.
At the bottom of the stairs, she stopped and turned to face him without a word.
"Shouldn't we be hurrying, in case there are still worgen about in these old houses?" he asked.
Sophia pursed her plump, juicy lips and quirked her head. "Are you really worried about that at moment like this?" Her hand closed over his on the torch, slender fingers warming his wrist before pulling the shaft from his grip. She moved to hang the torch in a nearby sconce, and Marcus saw her wicked grin.
"My, what big teeth you have..."The book shut with a click, and Mida leaned out of her office. Kazit looked placidly at her, as if he had nothing to do with the appearance of the book.
"Cancel my appointments for the day. And," she grinned knowingly, "take the rest of the day for yourself."
This post has been brought to you by Big Bear Butt's writing challenge, in which he tasked writers with creating a short story using the following words: juicy, slender, vain, shaft, torch, star, hidden. (Find all seven!) Check out his roundup post here for more responses!

AbstractVitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin that has many functions in the body. Vitamin C is needed to bolster the immune system. It is an antioxidant that protects LDL cholesterol from oxidative damage, and it is needed to make collagen, a substance that strengthens many parts of the body, such as muscles and blood vessels. Our bodies do not make vitamin C, so we must get it from dietary sources. Citrus fruits, carrots, avocados, and spinach all have vitamin C. Bell peppers, like the ones shown in Figure 1, below, also contain vitamin C. Red, yellow, and orange bell peppers are all ripe versions of the green bell pepper. But how do the vitamin C levels vary among the different colors or ripeness of bell peppers? Does ripeness matter? To quantify the amount of vitamin C, you will need to do some titrating.

Titration is a chemistry technique used to determine the unknown concentration of a chemical in a solution. For information on how to titrate, consult the references in the Bibliography and the science fair project idea Which Orange Juice Has the Most Vitamin C?. You could use the titration kit from our partner Home Science Tools and follow the Procedure for that science project idea, but instead of using orange juice, use a de-seeded and de-stemmed bell pepper that has been blended with water (and then filtered using cheesecloth). You may want to weigh the bell pepper before blending it and adjust your samples so that you use the same amount of each type of bell pepper. This will make it easier to compare your results. For more information about doing a titration, visit the Science Buddies webpage Titration Tutorial: Tips & Tricks for Titrating.
So which color bell pepper do you think will have the most vitamin C, or do you think they will all have similar amounts? Try this science project and do some titrations to find out for yourself!

Why Study Multicultural Studies?
The United States has always been a pluralistic society, and demographic shifts during the last half of a century have made it even more so. To help students begin making sense of this increasingly diverse society, all two-year degree programs require the completion of Introduction to Multicultural Studies (MCS 101) or an equivalent three-credit course. MCS 101 and its equivalent courses engage critical thinking skills through a curriculum that explores racial/ethnic identity, class relations, gender, stereotyping and bias, and the meaning of what it means to be an American.
These courses qualify for General Education credits at all SUNY schools. Other institutions have accepted these courses to fulfill degree requirements in history, sociology, multicultural studies, and humanities.
Students interested in the study of Multicultural Studies can begin their educational goals by pursuing the Associate of Arts (AA) degree in Liberal Arts and Science: Humanities and Social Science.

Manny Ramirez Denies Using Steroids, But Should Athletes Be Able to Take Them?
Manny Ramirez denies taking steroids, but should athletes be able to take them?
May 7, 2009 -- Today, Major League Baseball suspended the Los Angeles Dodgers' star slugger Manny Ramirez for 50 games for violating the league's drug prevention and treatment policy.
Ramirez waived his right to challenge that suspension and issued the following statement through the Players Association.
"Recently I saw a physician for a personal health issue. He gave me a medication, not a steroid, which he thought was okay to give me. Unfortunately, the medication was banned under our drug policy… L.A. is a special place to me and I know everybody is disappointed. So am I. I'm sorry about this whole situation."
Here's a thought that will be sure to anger many people: Ramirez says he didn't take a steroid, but there's no good reason we shouldn't let athletes, or any adults, take performance-enhancing drugs.
Steroids Claims: Fact or Fiction?
Experts like Dr. Gary Wadler at the World Anti-Doping Agency have testified before Congress, saying steroids pose a serious problem because the "threat is dying, the threat is suicide." And at a congressional hearing in March 2005 Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., called steroid use "a serious public health problem."
That's what we're often told by the media, too, in stories warning about "'roid rage" and supposed deaths by steroids. CNN's Nancy Grace once said steroids cause an "almost superhuman rage." But University of Wisconsin bioethicist Norman Fost says "the horror stories about the medical claims, some of them are just frankly made up."
Yet steroids have been blamed for professional wrestler Chris Benoit killing himself and his family and NFL legend Lyle Alzado's fatal brain tumor. Fost says it's all nonsense, and that there is actually no documented correlation between steroid use and brain tumors.
Surprisingly, Wadler admits that's true. And he's not even certain about other claims like the steroids causing strokes.
"I certainly think it's on a possible list, if not the probable list," he says.
And what about the claim that steroids cause heart attacks?
"I believe the likelihood of anabolic steroid abuse being associated with heart disease is real," says Wadler.
Wadler has to use words like "possible" and "I believe" because, unlike the well-documented relationship between smoking and lung cancer, there are no long-term epidemiological studies that show steroids cause those diseases.
It's not that steroids are perfectly safe, but neither are your everyday over-the-counter medications. Advil, for example, is associated with ulcers, asthma, blisters and shock. It seems as if every drug has some side effects.
Steroids: Risks vs. Benefits
"That's right," Wadler agrees. "And we have to make a decision as to what the risks versus benefits are."
Then why single out steroids? People take unnecessary risks all the time: smoking cigarettes, drinking alcohol, eating fatty foods, even engaging in extreme sports.
"We don't stop people from eating lemon meringue pie for breakfast, lunch and dinner," says Fost. "People everywhere take enormous risks way greater than even the hyped-up risks of steroids."
In many American gyms, you can easily find oversize people like bodybuilders George Smalley, owner of BodiesbyMrG.com, and John Romano, co-founder of RXmuscle.com. They freely admit they've taken steroids and are well aware of the known side effects such as hair loss, acne or the growing of male breasts.
Romano says, "Every adult should be able to do whatever they want, as long as they're not hurting anybody else."
Fost says those known side effects would be minimized if steroids were legal.
"If athletes are going to use these things, it would be better to have them on the table, where informed doctors can help them get the right drug with the right dose and fewer side effects," he says.
"No. I don't think you supervise the abuse of a drug," Wadler counters. "And I know there are people out there who strongly feel that I am misguided. I strongly disagree with them."
Then if steroids are such a major threat in Wadler's mind, there must be lots of high-profile heart attacks and steroids. Wadler wouldn't cite any.
"I don't have that information at my fingertips," he says. The reality is that, despite all the hysteria surrounding a few high-profile deaths, there is little evidence to support the connection to steroids.
So what about the Chris Benoit "'roid rage" killings? The medical examiner later said there was no evidence that the testosterone he was taking caused the crime. There's evidence that steroids can increase aggression in some people, but Fost says: "There are millions and millions of American males who have been on steroids and not too many of them have ever gone out and killed somebody."
Using Steroids: Cheating?
"The overwhelming examples of criminal behavior by professional athletes has nothing to do with steroids," he continues.
But even if the medical dangers are overstated, steroid use still feels like cheating, right?
"I don't know why you would think this is cheating any more than the hundreds of other things athletes do to enhance their performance," says Fost, referring to things like Tiger Woods improving his vision to 20/15 with Lasik eye surgery, professional bikers sleeping in hyperbaric chambers or swimmer Janet Evans attributing her Olympic Gold Medal to a special greasy swimsuit.
"Sport is nothing more than an activity governed by rules," replied Wadler. "Rules which are totally arbitrary ... And if you don't want to play by those rules, don't play."
If professional sports leagues want to restrict what substances their players can or cannot take, they have every right to do so. But why is Congress even getting involved?
"This is part of our duty to protect the American people," says Cummings. "The fact is that we're doing this to help out children."
Nobody wants steroids to be available to kids. But why can't their use just be restricted to adults, like alcohol and cigarettes?
"The real argument is that there are so much more dangerous substances out there that kids are abusing -- alcohol, drugs, tobacco, aerosols, paint, glue," says Romano. "Why aren't we, as a nation, as a society, focusing on the more dangerous things and putting less focus on esoteric things like big arms?"

If so, you'll want to run and get a copy of GreenLight's 1980 Dodge Challenger R/T, done up in an unusually well done shade of Sublime Green. There's that honkin' huge red Hemi air cleaner on display, and the proportions of the car couldn't be better done. What's especially impressive is that GreenLight got the shape of the rear wheel wells exactly right; most companies make their models with round ones, which throws off the look of the car.
Inside the unusual looking instrument panel is there to enjoy, after Toradol, and the shape of the seats is exactly as Dodge intended on the real car. Toradol forum, On this car, the 425 horsepower Hemi engine is a joy to behold. Don't miss it.

Series 2 is another fabulous job, only this time,m you have contemporary models that are iehgter in the showroom nowd or only a short year or two away from having been in one, Toradol For Sale.

Cheap Toradol no rx, We absolutely loved the Shelby GT500, withi its meaty looking tires and detailed rims, and fronnt end, kjøpe Toradol på nett, köpa Toradol online, with ll of its angles and unusual curves, Canada, mexico, india, was a real treat for a scale modeler's eyes.. On this model, even the backup lights were detailed, and there's a license plate number, discount Toradol, too, Australia, uk, us, usa, , to complete the effect. The rear end looked a bit too low over the tires, generic Toradol, which have a bit more space beteen tire and fender edge, Doses Toradol work, but that was the only flaw we saw in an otherwise steller model.

You can also see that the engine looks like the real car, and the interior is a miniaturized take on the real car, too. Overall, a very good rendition on a popular muscle car.
The good thing to note on the 2010 Camaro SS is that it does have the small distinctions shown on it that make it different from the RS version we talked about earlier. From stripes, to wheels, to the blacked out grille, you'll know its a true SS.
So if you have a preference for either the SS or the RS, GreenLight's got you covered.
The ZO6 model from GreenLight will no doubt, put a sparkle in Corvette fans' eyes. The colors and called out details are all as they should be.
But we thought that the model seemed a bit taller and less sleek than the real car, for some reason. We suspect it may have been because the tire to fender well relationship was a bit off, while the real car really swallows those tires up round back.
But otherwise, the ZO6 is a pretty nice rendition of a much beloved sports car, and will be enjoyed by almost anyone who buys one.
Most GreenLight models can be found at prices of $3 to $5 apiece at most "big box" stores or hobby shops. For more information, go to the GreenLight website, www.greenlightcollectibles.com.

Of particular interest its the 1980 Pontiac Firebird TTA, order Alesse (Ovral L) from mexican pharmacy, which stands for Turbo Trans Am. We haven't found this one anywhere else and we're sure Pontiac fans are going to go wild for this one because it's so well done. Buy Alesse (Ovral L) Without Prescription, First and foremost,, that's the model of the real engine under the hood. GreenLight thankfully did not take a shortcut and put in any old model engine to substitute and hope that nobody notices. The company clearly has high reproduction standards, and they're to be commended for it.
You'll also see a rare T-Top configuration, well done moldings around the rear and front windshield, a dead on accurate gold paint job and a well done black interior.

We also loved the 2004 Mercury Marauder sedan.
As you know Mercuries in any form are extremely rare in the model industry, and this GreenLight example is well done. The paint color matches precisely one that was offered on the real car, and ther are stock aluminum wheels are identical to the real car. Proportions, profiles and body character lines are accuratre and well placed, too. Even the yellow side marker lights are "called out" accurately, Buy Alesse (Ovral L) Without Prescription.
It would be a good idea to get some of these while you can; we think the Marauder may prove tough for some collectors to find down the road.
We were also smitten by thge 2010 Dodge Charger SRT8, an ultra-high performance Hemi powered monster that, as far as we know, had yet to be put into model car form until GreenLight came along. You can see that menacing Hemi engine under the hood, and it too, was reproduced well.. GreenLight is one of the best companies when it comes to reproducing the newest Chargers; the hood to roof to body side look is always like the real car.
The only problem. Buy Alesse (Ovral L) Without Prescription, The yellow trading card picture doesn't match the shade of yellow orange used on the model inside of the package. But again, this is a model that you will likely not see in any other form. Yep, there are plenty of models around that are variants of the Charger, but no SRT8s.
The line forms to the left at GreenLight stands, gang.
In sum, yet again, GreenLight continues to go to the head of the class when it comes to 1:64 scale.
Pricing? We've seen them in a range of $3.50 or so to $5 in Pittsburgh area stores, so it's hard to say exactly what you'd pay for one.

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — At some point, all that success should have brought real joy, or at the very least, some satisfaction. Instead, it's only made Nick Saban chase each win more relentlessly than the last.
On the eve of Alabama's pursuit of its third BCS crown in the last four years, more than a few people wondered whether Saban might open up, the way Urban Meyer did while still coaching at Florida a while back, the way plenty of his predecessors have when their legacy, like Saban's, was secured. Saban did — just not the way most expected.
He began with a story about inheriting his uncompromising work ethic from a father that he and everyone else in their tucked-away corner of West Virginia always called "Big Nick."
"There was a bum that used to come to my dad's service station early in the morning because he'd give him free coffee and doughnuts," Saban said. "We had had a tough game the night before, I don't remember whether it was basketball game, a football game or whatever. The guy was giving me a hard time and I sort of sassed him. I was 17 years old. I got the strap right on the spot.
"It was the right thing," he added quickly. "I needed to learn a lesson. I was disrespectful to an older person, regardless of the situation."
Saban rarely comes off as a man who speaks from the heart. More often, he sounds like someone cobbling together bits and pieces culled from a shelf's worth of books on motivational speaking, which Saban, not surprisingly, has turned into a lucrative second career. Maybe that's what made that story he told about his father seem even more revealing when the subject came up a day later.
This time, the lesson was not about respect, but about always striving for "a standard of excellence, a perfection." Saban recalled being 11 years old, already working at that same service station by then. His responsibilities ran from pumping gas and collecting the cash to checking the oil and tires, and finally, washing the cars with great care.
"I hated the navy blue and black cars, because when you wiped them off, the streaks were hard to get out. And if there were any streaks when he came," he paused, referring to "Big Nick" once more, "you had to do it over."
Sports is hardly the only place where the father-son dynamic ignites a spark of ambition that grows and grows until it becomes a consuming flame. And there are men like Saban at the top of every profession. They clamber up the ladder without regard for the consequences, treating each job like an audition for the next one. His story is especially instructive that way.
Saban played defensive back at Kent State, despite standing only 5-foot-6, and the determination he showed won him a job as a graduate assistant there in 1972. Next came a half-dozen more stops as an assistant — including a season with the NFL's Houston Oilers — before Saban landed his first head-coaching job at Toledo in 1990. He brought the school a Mid-American Conference title in his one and only season there, bailing out to take a job as defensive coordinator with the NFL's Cleveland Browns under then-coach Bill Belichick.
In the ensuing 15 years, Saban burned through three more jobs, each one good enough to be considered a "destination" among his peers — first at Michigan State, then at LSU, where he won his first national title, and finally with the Miami Dolphins. Instead of feeling like he'd arrived, Saban remained restless in a way the rest of us are not. After two years, including his first losing season as a head coach, he flat-out denied he was leaving for the vacant job at Alabama — and then lit out for Tuscaloosa in 2007, anyway.
Saban is still there six seasons later, longer than his tenure lasted anywhere else. He's been so successful that he not only owns the town and the state; he's even won over those fans and alumni who once insisted once that no coach deserved the Crimson Tide job without some connection to the legendary Paul "Bear" Bryant. Some of the most stubborn hold-outs now even use the "D-word (dynasty)" to describe what Saban has accomplished there.
In the meantime, he sunk roots in the community, including relocating the "Nick's Kids Fund" charity he and wife Terry set up more than a decade ago. It's actually named for "Big Nick," the blue-collar taskmaster and former Pop Warner League who taught his son never to take on a job unless he intended to do it right.
Whether Saban has learned that lesson might be open to debate, though measured strictly by his winning percentage, he's certainly done right by nearly every team that hired him. The only remorse Saban feels when he remembers the debt he owed "Big Nick" is that he didn't figure it out sooner.
"Probably when I was a senior in college, that's probably when I realized it," he said. "And my first year of graduate school was when he passed away. I never really ever told him," he said, "which I regret."

Czech Republic
What you need to know before you go
Even though the Czech Republic is one of the younger countries in Europe, the area it occupies is one with a long and remarkable history. It once carried the name "Bohemia" – an identity which still resonates to this day, conjuring images of artistic, unconventional people. The country's landscape lives up to this promise, showcasing striking mountain ranges, beautiful forests and cities boasting colourful combinations of architectural styles.
The capital city, Prague, should be on the bucket list of every traveller heading to Europe. The attractive Old Town is packed with exceptional sights to see, as well as lively markets and a boisterous nightlife. The Christmas Markets, in particular, are worth braving a bit of cold weather for, and give you the opportunity to warm yourself up with some Czech beer and the country's hearty cuisine. Other cities worth checking out include Brno, Český Krumlov and Telč.
Czech Republic — pieprasītākie galamērķiKurp dosities nākamreiz?
Traveling to Prague is like stepping back in time. Visit the Czech capital to soak up the 9th-century pomp of its immense medieval castle, marvel at its medley of architectural styles, and experience the famous food and nightlife cultures in its many pubs and restaurants. Hours can be spent sightseeing in Prague's Castle District alone, with its vast complex of buildings, gardens, and alleyways – the area is the size of 7 football fields. Afterward, a well-earned frothy flagon of Prague's finest beer at the 550-year-old U Medvidku Beer Hall provides the perfect taste of the city's renowned pub scene.Izvērst

Re: Twilight the Movie ~ I didn't like it
Posted: Sun Apr 11, 2010 7:59 am
Yeah I totally agree. I mean that scene in the film is so woah! I mean, Bella has to really show that she cares for Edward beyond anything...and of course, when Edward swoops in to rescue her, he has to show that he only cares for Bella's safety. That must have been difficult to act when they hardly knew one another and they hadn't had long to get into Bella and Edward's head. I think the ballet studio scene is one of the best in the film, so they all really done a wonderful job to have this great chemistry so close to the start of shooting the film.Susie wrote:CH said it was challenging for the actors to do this dramatic scene without having built up their characters yet.

Enjoy the benefits of a smaller home without missing your old square footage with these easy planning and organization tips.
Sharing a single bathroom with a large family or several roommates isn't ideal. Here's how a family of seven (and growing!) makes it work.
When you're thinking about buying a home, it's easy to buy more house than you need (and get stuck with a pricier mortgage). Use this trick to save.
From eco-friendly prefab kits to dwellings built out of other people's trash, the possibilities for building your own home are only limited by your imagination.
When it comes to our homes, is bigger always better? From saving money to cutting clutter and more, explore the benefits of buying or building small.
For my entire life, I have never lived in a place bigger than 1400 square feet. The smallest dwelling I had was a studio less than 400 square feet which I shared with my parents.

"Oops! I forgot", is a common refrain and a very embarrassing one too – especially when you forget a loved one's birthday or when a seemingly important task simply skips your mind. Maybe it is our stressful lifestyles or maybe we are just not attentive and alert enough to make a mental to-do list, but forgetfulness is something that most of us experience more often than we'd like. If you have been wondering what you can do to help yourself out of this annoying tendency, here's something that will pique your interest.Read more

Paul Debevec SIGGRAPH Asia 2010 Speaker Tour
SIGGRAPH Asia's 2010 speaker tour (7-16 September) attracted audiences of 110-350 in five major cities. Paul Debevec, who shared a Scientific and Engineering Academy Award for his work on the LightStage device, which was used in "Avatar" and other recent films, delivered a series of provocative, revealing presentations titled: From Spider-Man to Avatar, Emily to Benjamin: Achieving Photoreal Digital Actors. The series was sponsored in part by the ACM Distinguished Speakers Program.

Talk Abstract
Somewhere between "Final Fantasy" in 2001 and "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" in 2008, digital actors crossed the "Uncanny Valley" from looking strangely synthetic to believably real. This talk describes some of the key technological advances that have enabled this achievement.
Two technologies from our laboratory, High-Dynamic-Range Lighting and the Light Stage facial capture systems, have been used to create realistic digital characters in movies such as "Spider-Man 2", "Superman Returns", "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", and "Avatar". For an in-depth example, the talk describes how high-resolution face scanning, advanced character rigging, and performance-driven facial animation were combined to create "Digital Emily", a collaboration between our laboratory and Image Metrics. Actress Emily O'Brien was scanned in Light Stage 5 in 33 facial poses at the resolution of skin pores and fine wrinkles. These scans were assembled into a rigged face model driven by Image Metrics' video-based animation software, and the resulting photoreal facial animation premiered at SIGGRAPH 2008.
The talk also presents a 3D teleconferencing system that uses live facial scanning and an autostereoscopic display to transmit a person's face in 3D and make eye contact with remote collaborators, and a new head-mounted facial performance-capture system based on photometric stereo.
Paul Debevec is Associate Director of Graphics Research at the University of Southern California's Institute for Creative Technologies and a Research Associate Professor in USC's Viterbi School of Engineering's Computer Science Department. His ACM SIGGRAPH involvement includes:
ACM SIGGRAPH Executive Committee Director-At-Large, 2009-
SIGGRAPH 2007 Computer Animation Festival Chair
ACM SIGGRAPH Distinguished Lecturer, 2008
Contributor to SIGGRAPH Technical Papers, Courses, Talks, Panels, Computer Animation Festival, and Art Gallery
Reviewer for SIGGRAPH Technical Papers, Courses, Talks, Emerging Technologies, and Computer Animation Festival
Member of ACM SIGGRAPH and the Los Angeles SIGGRAPH Chapter
Honorary member of Perth SIGGRAPH Chapter

Details on the plot of Rob Zombie's upcoming "The Lords of Salem" have finally been revealed and much to my surprise they have nothing to do with Salem Massachusetts. I kid! The plot revolves around a local DJ who unleashes an unholy curse on the town of Salem that a group of witches cast over 300 years ago. I bet this ruins their tourism also.
Stephen King and John Mellencamp have apparently had a musical in the works since 2006 titled "Ghost Brothers of Darkland County" and good news kids, it'll hit Atlanta in just under a year. The play focuses on the rumors around the murder of 3 people in a small town in Mississippi and I know I said it before but I'm not sure you understand, Stephen King and John Mellencamp created this. Let that sink in.
According to a recent post on the official facebook page for "Trick 'r Treat", "Sam will return" which would lead the world to believe that the anthology series will see a sequel in the near future. Either that or they know something about a "Cheers" reunion. Either way I'm excited.
A new TV spot for JJ Abrams' "Super 8" has found it's way online and honestly I still have no idea what the movie is about but I think it's somewhere in between "Maximum Overdrive" and "E.T.". Of course I watched the video with the volume down and really only paid attention for a few seconds. "Bert the Conqueror" was on last night! If you want to know how that was I could give you a detailed run down.
The "After Dark" Film festival extends their indie horror reach as they create After Dark Originals, their own film film production arm. Continuing to showcase new talent, the new venture allows them to produce their own movies with new directing and producing talent.
Prepare yourself; Sigourney Weaver is going to bite you. The veteran actress has signed on to play a Queen Vampire in Amy Heckerling's horror comedy, "Vamps"! Weaver will be starring alongside Alicia Silverstone and Kristen Ritter.
Craig Gillespie, director of "Lars and the Real Girl", has been tapped to direct the upcoming "Fright Night" remake proving that there actually is one person out there that still cares about this project!
Liv Ullman will be in "The Ghost Brothers of Darkland County", a musical collaboration between John Mellencamp and Stephen King. Read that again; 'a musical collaboration between John Mellencamp and Stephen King'!

Smarter Stand hits Kickstarter, a kickstand and ear bud untangling solution for iPhone
The Smarter Stand has arrived on Kickstarter and it looks like a great solution for anyone who suffers from the annoying problem of constantly tangled ear buds or the need to prop your device up at an angle to use it hands free or in a more comfortable way. Yes the Smarter Stand offers a solution to both of these problems and is looking for help on Kickstarter.
Ever tried to prop-up your iPhone to watch a video, read email, do a video call, follow a recipe? It never stays up! And let's face it: the iPhone kickstand options out there are clunky at best. The Smarter Stand is the first iPhone / iPod touch kickstand that can be used with or without a case AND also keeps your earbuds tangle free.
How much time do you spend every day fighting with tangled-up earbuds? Life's too short! You just casually roll-up your earbud cord around the Smarter Stand, tuck the buds in and you're done! It won't come undone even if it's tossed around in your pocket or handbag all day.
The Smarter Stand clicks into the iPhone's 3.5mm headset jack and uses it as an anchor point. It can then offer an angled stand for your device which makes it much easier to use than flat on a table. Because of the way it works, it can be used with any iPhone or iPod touch, with or without a case.
If you like the look of the Smarter Stand for iPhone or iPod touch you can back it over at Kickstarter. Pledges starting from just $9 will get you one when or if they make production. The Smarter Stand for iPhone has already blasted through its pledge goal of $15,000 and currently sits at just over $18,000. The project still has 54 days to run so plenty of time if you would like to get involved.
What do you think of the Smarter Stand for iPhone? Could you see yourself using a product like this?
