Beyond Ruggie's Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights: Charting an Embracive Approach to Corporate Human Rights Compliance
Robert C. Blitt
University of Tennessee College of Law
March 1, 2013
Texas International Law Journal, Vol. 48, No. 1, 2012
University of Tennessee Legal Studies Research Paper No. 158
To what extent should or must a corporation contemplate international human rights law? Following a brief discussion of the increasing influence of transnational corporations and global business transactions, as well as the growth of the international human rights system, this Article uses the 2011 United Nations' Guiding Principles on the effective prevention of, and remedy for, business-related human rights harm as a jumping-off point for addressing the most recent developments related to identifying and regulating business-related human rights practices. After identifying an emerging divide between endorsement and criticism of the Guiding Principles, the Article concludes with a forward-looking view, arguing that although the Guiding Principles may represent a good starting point, corporations genuinely concerned with ensuring the effective minimization or elimination of exposure to potentially embarrassing and costly human rights liabilities should be prepared to apply a more rigorous approach.

Brilliant exponent of the art of speech broadcasting I am sure his family, fans and friends are missing him and his eloquence deeply.
Sadly it's not a bluff .... RIP sir.

Robert Robinson - Telegraph
13 Aug 2011
Robert Robinson, who died on August 12 aged 83, was a broadcaster and writer best known as the wordy and erudite chairman of such popular television parlour games as Call My Bluff and Ask the Family and of the long-running radio quiz Brain of Britain; in the early 1970s he co-presented Radio 4's flagship Today programme until he fell out with the BBC over the show's
Robinson was a performer about whom opinion was sharply divided. His air of aloofness, his oracular and anachronistic verbal style, and taste for polished epigrams irritated many. One journalist voiced the suspicion that he once arranged for weak tea to be served during an interview so that he could pronounce: "You could spear a shark in sixteen fathoms of it", and he had, indeed, been quoted as saying just that on an earlier occasion. (Of strong tea, incidentally, he would say: "It's thick enough for a mouse to trot on".)
His detractors were driven to apoplexy by his habit of finishing the genteel quiz shows he presented with the words: "I bid you goodbye". To them, Robinson's pale, stolid face signified smugness and complacency. They found his hair annoying too, even though there was not much of it or possibly there was too much, for Robinson concealed his essential baldness by having the two hanks that grew out of the area above his ears wound around his head and ferociously plastered down.
Yet Robinson took criticism in good part, simply stating that he found the single word "goodbye" lacking in moment, and never dissembling on the subject of his hairstyle. Indeed, he admitted that the man who came to his house to arrange his coiffure would despairingly mutter: "I have created a monster" as he packed away his implements.
Robinson had tremendous self-confidence, and with justification. He was well-paid for what he did, and there were those who found his asperity and carefulness with words very welcome in an ingratiating, slang-ridden era. A reviewer once praised one of his programmes by saying that "it was a place where words were measured by the ounce rather than the job lot". This could have been said of any Robinson project, and he was not merely elegant in his speech, he was frequently very funny too.
In 1971 Robinson was persuaded to join Radio 4's early morning Today programme. In hiring him, the BBC took a gamble. Robinson had never been heard regularly on radio before. Neither, as it turned out, had he ever actually heard the programme himself, being an habitual slugabed who always slept through it. His co-presenter John Timpson had his doubts. "Nobody could know whether listeners would tolerate the company at breakfast-time of an intellect so lively and at times exhausting," he recalled.
Robinson, who once listed his favourite place as "bed", had severe qualms about a 4.30am reveille, confessing that he had never been up earlier than 9.30am since his National Service days. His predecessor Jack de Manio wired advice: "Don't, repeat don't, give up booze or go to bed early unless absolutely worthwhile, otherwise life becomes hell." Nevertheless, Robinson found his first programme nerve-racking. "You've no idea how brutally spontaneous it all is," he told a journalist after the show. "I was fluttering like a lavendered old lady."
But Robinson quickly hit his stride, striking up a winning on-air camaraderie with the avuncular Timpson. Under Robinson's hand, the 30-second cue (introduction) to an item became an art form. "Bob learned to use words to fashion lexicological objets d'art," Timpson observed. Visiting pundits were invited not to speculate but to "cast the runes"; a dull discussion on the economy would be embellished with a homily from Horace or a Balzacian bon mot.
One critic spoke of Robinson's "battering ram personality", describing him as the hare of the programme compared with Timpson's tortoise. But even Robinson's verbal pyrotechnics sometimes failed to make the programme sparkle. On dreary news days, the programme team dubbed Robinson and Timpson the Brothers Grimm as they waded through a gloomy 1970s swampland of strikes, a decaying economy and plummeting pound.
On one particularly threadbare morning, the programme devoted a full minute and a half to a woman whose knickers had fallen off in Selfridges. "If that's news," mused Robinson aloud at the end of the item, "on what principle is anything ever left out?" The director-general Ian Trethowan fired off a testy memo about this and other examples of Robinson's perceived Maoist tendencies.
One that mired him in even deeper trouble was an item he had introduced about the torture of IRA prisoners, abuse which had been dressed up by an official committee as "sensory deprivation". Robinson felt he had been censored when he tried to complain on air about such Orwellian distortion of the language and, although voted Radio Personality of the Year shortly afterwards, continued to resent unwarranted editorial interference.
He also disliked the programme's growing obsession with politicians, their "never-ending effrontery" and "sonorous drivel", whose every word, he believed, was spoken for advantage. In 1974, despairing of the ritualised political interviews he was called on to conduct each morning, he quit. "At least with Call My Bluff," he commented later, "you knew it was a game."
Robert Henry Robinson was born on December 17 1927 in Liverpool. His accountant father soon moved the family to the Surrey suburbs however, and Robinson grew up in Malden, or "Wimbledon", as he sometimes called it, "if I was feeling posh". He was a bright but diffident child. In his autobiography Skip All That (1996), which is more relaxed and funnier than his rococo novels, he blamed his transformation into a junior smart aleck on the highly competitive atmosphere at Raynes Park Grammar School, which he found suited him.
He identified Oxford University as "the original source of the high anxiety I had become hooked on", and applied to read English, which he referred to as "Literae Humaniores" when filling in the application form. He went up to Exeter College, became the editor of Isis and moved in a bookish, liberal set, getting to know Shirley Catlin (later Williams), Peter Parker and Robin Day, all of whom he would later stoking the ire of his detractors refer to as his "chums".
After National Service in Africa with the West African Army Corps, and dressing, as he later admitted, "like a prat" (bowler hat, fancy waistcoats), Robinson got his start in journalism with The Weekly Telegraph, a satellite of the Sheffield Telegraph, published in London. His job involved making up readers' letters which he signed "with a variety of distinguished names humanised by more humble addresses: George Moore, Chingford JE Flecker, Scunthorpe".
After the Weekly Telegraph imploded, Robinson brought his insouciance and elephant hide to the writing of showbiz columns. He asked Rita Heyworth to jog his memory as to which husband belonged to which child, and was dragged away by a minder. Also, Diana Dors walked out on him when he said he preferred her real name: Fluck.
In 1960 Robinson became editor of the Atticus gossip column on The Sunday Times. By now he was also established in broadcasting and he gradually became a presenter first, a print journalist second. Although he had made his first radio broadcast in 1955, it was BBC Television's early 1960s film review programme Picture Parade that first brought him to the public eye. This led to an even more popular programme, Points of View. Originally a five-minute gap filler before the news, Robinson briskly and amusingly conducted the presentation of viewers' letters about BBC programmes.
On November 13 1965 he was hosting the satirical show BBC3 when Kenneth Tynan spoke the word "f-ck" on television for the first time, but even this did little to disturb his sangfroid; as thousands of elderly female viewers presumably reached for the smelling-salts, Robinson disdainfully remarked to Tynan that it was a very easy way of making history.
He became best-known for much less incendiary stuff as the host of three long-running quiz shows. On television, from 1967, there was Call My Bluff and Ask the Family. (The first, a wordy parlour game for mid-league celebrities, he satirically renamed Call My Agent.) On radio, from 1973, he hosted Brain of Britain, which he referred to as Brian of Britain because so many of the contestants were middle-management, Brian-ish people. Robinson would often be quite rude to them on air. One contestant, asked to name the special property of a certain liquid used in industrial processes, hazarded that, if poured into a machine, it would flow into every nook and cranny. "No, no, no," chuckled Robinson, "I mean, you could say that of Tizer."
As his observational talents became recognised, Robinson applied his educated, articulate, lofty (if sometimes disdainful) persona to numerous television programmes; The Book Programme did for literature what Picture Parade and later Cinema did for films, while in 1977 he conducted an extraordinarily successful literary investigation in B Traven A Mystery Solved, produced by Will Wyatt. He also presented The Fifties, Word for Word, The Book Game and was proud of his two series Robinson's Travels and Robinson Country. In 1984 he co-devised and presented Our House, about families who had lived in the same house for more than 50 years.
On radio Robinson's satirical side was given freer reign in his role as chairman of the incestuous but acerbically droll Radio 4 programme Stop the Week, which ran from 1974 until 1992. Here Robinson and friends such as Professor Laurie Taylor, theatre critic Milton Shulman and the journalist Anne Leslie, discussed "minuscule" subjects such as "Does it matter if people say: 'Different toe_SLps'?" or "How do you know when you're grown up?", or attempted to name six famous called Stan, while other, more irregular panel members attempted to get a word in edgeways.
Robinson was invariably speaking as the programme ended, and the producers would be required to fade him out in mid-flow. The show attracted a good deal of flak, but, to Robinson fans, everything else on radio sounded worthy and witless by comparison.
All this broadcasting attracted to Robinson two sorts of criticism. Firstly he was accused of being simply too full of himself, but he was also charged with failing to live up to his potential, which was a sort of backhanded compliment. In 1956 he had published a detective novel called Landscape With Dead Dons, on the typically cerebral ground that, once you had started with these plot-driven stories "you had to go on". It was a success, and was given the lead review in The New York Times. "I was glad, but naive as ever, I was expecting it; Mummy never says No."
Alongside collections of essays, Inside Robert Robinson (1965), The Dog Chairman (1982) and Prescriptions of a Pox Doctor's Clerk (1990), two further, more introspective novels, The Conspiracy and Bad Dreams, followed in 1968 and 1989. Robinson conceded that writing novels was a "magical" vocation, and averred that the thought of, say, Graham Greene as a quizmaster was grotesque. But, with apparent sanguinity, he would offer the defence that he had written as many novels as he wanted; he also said of his television and radio work: "I used the medium rather than the other way around that's my story and I'm sticking to it."
With the spoils of broadcasting he bought a succession of big cars, a 16th century cottage in Somerset, and an exquisite and conspicuously grand main house in Cheyne Row, Chelsea. ("People say: 'I suppose you got it for a song' but not so. Not at all. Blood came out of my ears.")
He was once asked whether his ready wit would ever dry up. "Not really," he phlegmatically replied, "one is constantly renewing oneself, but all things come to an end, and one day I will be down to the canvas, the silence rolling like thunder."
He admitted to no particular interests beyond his work and family, considered watching television "a conscious decision to waste time" and resorted mainly to sport, especially horse racing, having a love-hate relationship with his bookmaker.
Robert Robinson married, in 1958, Josée Richard. They had one son and two daughters.
I really disliked Ask the Family which used to be on BBC 1 at 6.30 PM weekdays - where did they get these awful families of little middle class swots from ?
Robert Robinson came across as smugness personified on this quiz !

Robert Robinson obituary
Broadcaster who delighted in people's quirks and use of words, from BBC2's Call My Bluff to Radio 4's Stop the Week
Philip Purser
The Guardian, Saturday 13 August 2011

The broadcaster and writer Robert Robinson, who has died at the age of 83 after a long period of ill health, had an extraordinary flair for either captivating or irritating his audience, or sometimes both. He presided over such television institutions as Picture Parade (1959), the arts programme, the quiz shows Call My Bluff and Ask the Family (or as he labelled them, as "call my agent" and "ask your dad", both from 1967), all for the BBC. In 1961 he started the five-minute review of the BBC's own output, Points of View, which has continued until the present under a dynasty of presenters that included two further but unrelated Robinsons, Kenneth and Anne.
On Radio 4 from 1971 to 1974, he and John Timpson were the first to make the morning news programme Today a double act, and endow it with that little trace of friction that has sometimes resurfaced since. For the next 18 years, until 1992, came the Saturday early-evening discussion programme Stop the Week, in which Robinson and friends mused – often at length – on points that arose tangentially from what had been going on in the news.
On his own, except when calling for a ruling from the question setter he always addressed as "Mycroft" (Ian Gillies, who died in 2002), he was chairman of Brain of Britain from 1973 until interrupted by illness in his last seasons: he stood down for good in 2010. If his early days when he was solely a writer and newspaperman are included, his career spanned more than 60 years. Yet all the time he somehow gave the impression that he would prefer to be doing something of greater worth. I had an early experience of this when we first became friends in the mid-1950s. He was bemoaning his current job as film and theatre columnist of the Sunday Graphic, an admittedly rather pallid tabloid. Trying to cheer him up, I said that it wasn't a bad little paper. "Oh yes it is. That's exactly what it is – a bad little paper."
He was born in Liverpool, where his father was bookkeeper for a shipping company, though also a bookish character in another sense, learning languages and other skills to better himself. The family moved to London when Robert was a toddler, settling in the south London suburb of Mitcham. The local grammar school was Raynes Park, whose famed headmaster, John Garrett, lured the likes of Robert Graves, Harold Nicolson, Sybil Thorndike and C Day Lewis to address or perform for the boys, persuaded WH Auden to write the school song, and employed the inventive novelist Rex Warner as English teacher.
Garrett encouraged Robinson to aim for a county scholarship, specifically to his own Oxford college, Exeter, but it was to be a year before he could sit the exam and longer still before he could take it up. It was 1944 and the flying bomb attacks on London terrified his mother. He went back to Liverpool with her, and there worked as an office boy. On his return to Raynes Park (now under a new head) he won the scholarship, but first came national service, officer training, and two years in Africa commanding a Nigerian service corps unit.
At Oxford he met the actress Josee Richard, whom he would eventually marry, edited the student magazine Isis and imbibed the varsity lore and legend that underlies his first novel. How this actually came to be written some years later is another example of his wayward ambitions. Godfrey Smith, an Oxford friend and fellow journalist, happened to mention that his first novel had just been accepted. According to his own memoirs (Skip All That, 1996) Robinson was possessed by the news. It was as if Godfrey had climbed Everest. He dreamed that night, and every night, that he too had written a novel, and by day got on with it.
Landscape with Dead Dons (1956), a high comedy of a lost Chaucerian manuscript, plodding policemen and naked academics pelting through the streets of Oxford, was a deserved success. Paperback publication came in 1963, and in the 1990s it was one of the first titles to be made available again through the new wonder of printing on demand. Over the years two more novels, two miscellanies and the memoirs followed.
Meanwhile, his journalism was thriving. By 1960 Robinson was editing the prestigious Atticus column of the Sunday Times, and in 1965 he took a turn as film critic of the new Sunday Telegraph. On television he contributed to the BBC arts review Monitor, conducted The Book Programme (1974-80), buzzed around the world for Robinson's Travels (1977-79) and in 1965 hosted BBC3, the last manifestation of the Saturday night satire craze that had begun with That Was The Week That Was. But on television, nothing gave him greater satisfaction than two eclectic single ventures.
The first of these was a feat of literary detection he undertook with the director (and future BBC grandee) Will Wyatt. The true authorship of The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, a gold-panning story famously filmed by John Huston, had long been lost in a maze of false names and identities. Researching in Mexico, German and eastern Europe, they were finally able to call their 1978 report B Traven, a Mystery Solved: in 1983, Wyatt published their account as The Secret of the Sierra Madre. From Robinson alone in 1986 came The Magic Rectangle, his investigation into the nature of television celebrity that I likened at the time to a medieval anatomist rooting around in corpses in an effort to locate the soul. As the title again implied, he concluded that the shape of the television screen bestowed the celebrity, but it attracted only those who sought celebrity.
Was he himself of that inclination? Was he likewise the social climber that some held him to be? My guess is not, on both charges. When he and Josee married in 1958 and moved into a house in Chelsea next door to Richard Ingrams and his mother, it was not yet an especially fashionable area. They simply liked it - whether the pub was spilling out or the Queen was being entertained across the road - and stayed there all their life together. When the situation called for it, he was quite capable of displaying kindness and understanding abundantly and spontaneously.
What Robinson most enjoyed was the quirkiness of people. When the concept of Eurovision was about to be launched in the late 1950s, we television hacks were taken on a brief tour of the national services taking part. As we shuttled from Calais to Brussels and Brussels to Antwerp we filed stories on the run or roughed them out for delivery as soon as we got back - except for Fred Cook, the down-to-earth correspondent from the long-lost Sunday paper of the cooperative movement, Reynolds News. He contentedly sampled the meals and the drinks without any visible attempt to secure an account of what we had seen. Robinson was seated next to him on the flight home. As the plane began its descent to Heathrow he smoothed out a bit of paper and scribbled a few words. "There," he said, "that's broken the back of it." Robinson told this story for weeks, in admiration and wonder.
He is survived by Josee, their son Nicholas and daughters Lucy and Susie.
Dennis Barker writes: Robert Robinson would have liked to be Dr Samuel Johnson, the combative conversationalist and author who always argued eruditely and implacably and always expected to win. Everyone who had dealings with him was wise to remember that. What he was really was a television-age compromise: possibly the last of the radio and TV presenters and quizmasters to have come from the literary and literate tradition rather than the glib, spuriously matey banalities of telly showbiz.
The telling point about his virtues was that he would never appear in commercials. He genuinely placed too much importance on the value of words as meaningful and disinterested tools of thought and wisdom to accept money for delivering even a sincere favourable opinion of sausages or toilet paper.
He could be, and often was, called egotistical, self-centred, domineering and sneering; but at least one knew that the total effect was there because he meant it: he found it temperamentally impossible to be a creep.
One critic shrewdly observed that Robinson exemplified the meritocratic arrogance that had replaced the patrician version. Within those terms, he was certainly his own creation, though helped in his horizons by an eccentric schoolmaster. John Garrett took the view that any schoolboy's opinions were "as good as the Emperor's" – a liberating but dangerous message received loud and clear by Robinson, who decided to be as "clever" as possible for every minute of the day.
His first job in journalism was composing crosswords and fake readers' letters for The Weekly Telegraph, from where he went to the Daily Dispatch, which folded, propelling him into the Sunday Chronicle as TV correspondent. The feudal set-up of the Berry family's newspapers had its advantages; as he put it himself, go down in one ship and you were hauled aboard another. Soon the Sunday Graphic had him as its film-star correspondent.
A newspaper strike led to his appearing on a BBC television programme in which contributors delivered stories and views their pens could not convey. Robinson realised that he was a "natural", and was soon presenting Picture Parade. When, on the satirical programme BBC3, Kenneth Tynan decided to create a TV first by using the word "fuck", Robinson was in now way disconerted. He was much criticised in the subsequent set-to; but a man in a Lyons cafe in Holborn recognised him as having been on television, and the soon-to-be-ex-newspaperman liked that. He knew the limitations of what he did, but extracted top-dollar for it from anyone who employed him (and without the need of an agent).
In his 70s, he presented the radio programme Ad Lib, in which he interviewed groups of people devoted to one occupation. He was often able to abandon his combativeness in favour of rugged good nature, producing interesting material from people unused to talking publicly.
But to him the pinnacle was Stop the Week. He always maintained that no formula had been found for reflecting the goings-on of the week, and that every programme produced its own conversational rules, but in this he was deceiving himself: the sound of media folk creating an imaginary saloon bar with their often-used anecdotes about money, snobbery, gender, elitism and so on became an all too easily recognised formula. To some listeners, it became less a programme for lively minds than a refuge for the pretentious.
Robinson, the Johnson-manqué, liked to keep a tight hold on his Stop the Week court. After the recording of the programme he would often join the producer for the editing, in which some 10 or 15 minutes had to be cut. One regular founder-contributor who had noticed that some of his best quips were edited out, while Robinson's remained in, decided one week to join in this process. Whenever one of this contributor's bon mots approached on tape, the chairman found a technical reason why it should be edited out. "Come on, Bob," joshed the contributor. "You can't win them all." The contributor was myself.
"Oh yes, Dennis, I can, oh yes, I can!" was his instant and unapologetic response. And, through most media situations, he could. From now on, God will have a rather harder time.

His documentary on B. Traven I remember very well. Robert was always worth listening to and watching.
He was always the immensely polite host on the Brain Of Britain. R.I.P. Mr. Robinson.
and so the generations slip by.
So here's to you, Mr Robinson, god bless you please Mr. Robinson hey hey hey...........
Wasn't it "Private Eye" who always called him 'Smuggins'? I can quite see why, but equally I was a bit surprised by the Fry and Laurie parody which didn't seem particularly warm - had Robinson and Fry had some sort of fall out in the press, when you might expect Fry to be an admirer?
I'm also surprised he was as "young" (if that's the right word) as 83. Though I enjoyed Bluff and Ask the Family as a kid, looking back a great deal of Robinson's work seems to be marinated in an almost Edwardian sensibility. Still, we won't see his sort of telly again, and that makes the world a poorer place. RIP.
On As the Family.......the boys always looked like 11 year old Michael Goves (the 'walking encyclopedia' ), with a younger sister named Hermione...Daddy was usually a hospital consultant, and mummy was a novelist or artist......
I suspect these families were selected because they mixed in the same Hampstead social circles as the producer of the programme......!

Letter: Robert Robinson obituary
- The Guardian, Tuesday 16 August 2011
Robert Robinson, right, and John Timpson in the Today studios, 1971 Photograph: BBC
Marshall Stewart writes: Recruiting Robert Robinson (obituary, 15 August) as a Today presenter in 1971 (when I was the programme's editor) was not a straightforward affair. The majority of the diehard listeners were strongly attached to the somewhat eccentric style of the veteran Jack de Manio. Some senior BBC executives also had concerns: "a little leftwing?" (a familiar Broadcasting House concern in those days) and "too clever by two-thirds" were among their anxieties. But with the support of Tony Whitby, the controller of Radio 4, Bob Robinson played a significant and influential part in accelerating Today's transformation from a whimsical magazine into a news and current affairs programme.
Bob's fluency elevated scriptwriting to a new level. His sharp intellect introduced an edge to serious interviewing that politicians, in particular, had not often met on radio before, but he did it with underlying courtesy that made it difficult for both them and BBC mandarins to complain. He was also able to look after himself. When Lord Longford suggested during a live interview that Bob might be "pro-pornography", he terminated the discussion by saying: "For once, it seems to me that a BBC interviewer, namely myself, is being badly treated by an interviewee. Lord Longford, I bid you goodbye." Longford subsequently sent him a letter of apology.
Early morning broadcasting was not, however, something which he took to naturally. Early on, I recall a desperate phone call from him to the Today editorial office: "It's Bob. I'm sorry – it's six o'clock and I've only just woken up. I'm on my way. It won't happen again." We gently pointed out to him that it was indeed six o'clock – in the evening.

Robert Robinson: 'They ring me up and ask me to do an advertisement and I say, "Why do you ask me?"' Photograph: Evening Standard/Getty Images
Will Wyatt writes: Dennis Barker, in his obituary of Robert Robinson (15 August), rightly commends Robinson's refusal to do advertisements. "If my opinions are for sale, they are worthless as opinions" was how he would put it. "They ring me up and ask me to do an advertisement and I say, 'Why do you ask me?' They say, 'Aah, because you are the sort of person who doesn't do advertisements.' Then I say, 'But if I say I will, then I am the sort who does and you don't want me.'"
I only twice saw Bob almost at a loss for words. The first was when we were about to film an interview with PG Wodehouse. We set up in the garden of the great man's home and waited for him and his wife to emerge after watching their favourite soap opera. When they came out, Bob extended his hand, but before he could speak, Wodehouse said, "Oh, I did enjoy that detective story of yours. It was jolly good." Bob, taken aback, flattered and pleased, could only manage "Thank you, Sir."
The second was when we were filming in America and Bob volunteered that he might do an opening piece on horseback. "Do you ride?" I asked. "Occasionally, in Richmond Park," he replied airily. I spent the evening seeking a suitable mount at nearby ranches. "Did you find one?" he asked on my return. "Yes, he will be brought over in the morning." "What is he called?" asked Bob. "Bullet," I replied truthfully. Bob went quiet.
Pam Skinner writes: The columns of certain journalists stay in your mind, sometimes for life. For me, one such is Robert Robinson's Aboard the Raft (published in Inside Robert Robinson in 1965). His intelligence, compassion and social awareness still shine.
He writes about a secondary school headmaster, dedicated to young people of all abilities and backgrounds: "Outside in the world the little meritocrats, those natural survivors, were climbing ... into dinghies, leaving the rest to make do with rafts. Everyone seemed to have forgotten that there were more people on the rafts than in the dinghies. He ... knew that the quality of all our living – as distinct from our mere prosperity – depended on them."

|In response to Re: Waste Line Replaced and still backing up update and ???
Sorry to hear about your problem. Your frustration is understandable, but take comfort in the fact that your new drain line shouldn't cause any problems anytime soon. Unfortunately, you need to obain a competent plumber to better inspect and evaluate your drain/waste/vent system, using a camera to identify the problem(s). It may take some time, but it will be worth it to have a complete evaluation to hopefully solve this problem.
: To summarize, 2 weeks ago our waste line from our house (built in the 30's) to the street was replaced once it was discovered there was severe deterioration due to roots, and oof course the backup problems that go along with it.
: Over this weekend, our toilet started gurgling again as it was when we were originally having problems. Today, my wife ran a load of laundry and the toilet and sewage overflowed from our bathroom into our house. It ruined our hall carpet runner. Thankfully we have hardwood floors and not carpet. It was a b**** to clean up.
: We contacted the plumber who replaced our line and they came out to have a look. Their new conclusion is that the line from the toilet to where the new line was replaced is full of roots and will also have to be replaced. Why did they not realize this in the first place? Now we are expected to pay $$ again for rental equipment/etc. when it should have been fixed all at once?
: This is put very basically, but I am quite frustrated because we called a professional to fix a problem and to provide a service (problem - sewage line backup). Three thousand dollars later (which is a lot of $$ for us, and all on credit card), we are overjoyed because we think this is the end of the wretched plumbing problems for us. Now, the line backs up, ruins our carpet, and causes a big headache.
: Though this may sound irrational, I feel like we paid 3k to a pro who said they would fix our problem, and it was not fixed. Moreover, now we will have to pay even more $$ to fix a problem that we thought was fixed in the first place. I feel like I've been duped. A trusting consumer who honestly does not know the first thing about plumbing hands someone $$ and says "fix my problem" and it's still not fixed.
: What is the solution? Is it irrational to think this way? Do we have any other options? What would you do? We do not have the $$ to pay for a problem that we thought was already fixed!!
: Thanks in advance for any advice/opinions/help, etc. It is greatly appreciated.

When Pesach comes around, many of us are looking for ways to impress our families with our culinary expertise and exotic menus. This eggplant dish will please everyone at your table.
- eggplant - 1 large , peeled and thinly sliced lengthwise
- kosher salt - , for sprinkling
- egg - 1 , well beaten
- potato starch - 1/2 cup
- oil - , for frying
- Spinach Filling
- oil - 2 Tbsp
- onion - 1 medium , diced
- frozen spinach - 16 oz (450 g) , defrosted
- egg - 1
- salt - 1 tsp
- garlic powder - 1 tsp
- pepper - 1/8 tsp
- Tangy Tomato Sauce
- tomato sauce - 16 oz (470 ml)
- water - 1 cup
- lemon juice - 1/2 cup
- tomato paste - 2 small 6-oz (170-g) cans
- sugar - 1/3 cup
Place eggplant slices in a strainer and sprinkle with a little kosher salt. Allow to sit for 30 minutes to release any bitter juices. Squeeze out liquid and lay on a paper towel to dry. Place beaten egg in one plate and potato starch in another. Dip each eggplant slice into the egg and then into the potato starch.
Heat enough oil to coat the bottom of a large frying pan. Fry each eggplant slice until golden (approximately 3 minutes), then flip over and fry on the second side. Remove eggplant slices from frying pan and set aside.
Spinch filling
To prepare spinach filling, heat oil in a frying pan and sauté onion for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally so onions do not burn. Remove from heat and place in a mixing bowl. Add frozen spinach, egg, salt, garlic powder, and pepper. Mix well.
Tangy Tomato Sauce
Mix ingredients together in a large container and divide in half.
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Spread 1–2 Tbsp of the spinach mixture on each eggplant slice and roll up. Arrange the eggplant rolls in a 9-inch square baking dish that fits the rolls tightly. Pour half of the tomato sauce mixture over the eggplant roll-ups and cover. Bake for 25–30 minutes. Uncover and bake another 10 minutes. Before serving, heat the rest of the tomato sauce in a small saucepan and pour over eggplant roll-ups. Serve warm.

Both options allow you the opportunity to tailor your studies to your specific needs and professional aspirations. We offer a broad range of degree programs, specializations, graduate certificates, and other types of executive education.
Why Quinlan?
You're focused on the job you're doing, but you have big plans for the future as well. The question is: how will you get there? Loyola University Chicago's Quinlan School of Business offers graduate programs that will prepare you for your career ahead. Our wide range of degree options present opportunities for you to stand out as you position yourself for your next promotion. Quinlan's top-ranked and respected programs are designed to help you take the next step in your professional life.
Extraordinary leaders are respected and trusted in their organizations as well as in their communities. How do they reach that pinnacle? They do so by acting with the confidence and conviction that comes with doing the right thing—not just for their company, but for all stakeholders as well. At Quinlan, you will learn from the successes and mistakes of business leaders and see how those principles translate into the work you are doing today, as well as the achievements you will strive to make tomorrow.
- The Quinlan School of Business is among the 5% of business schools in the USA and worldwide that meet the rigorous standards of AACSB International accreditation, reflecting our mission of commitment to educating the whole person and excellence in business education.
- The Quinlan School of Business has historically been highly respected in U.S. News & World Report's annual ranking of part-time MBA programs, and our position continues to improve.
- All courses focus on real-world, hands-on business issues in a global context. Students apply theory learned in the classroom to current business problems, often in partnership with organizations in Chicago, across the USA, and internationally.
- More than 75 percent of our courses are taught by professionally accomplished, full-time faculty members, who are dedicated to both teaching and research within a social justice framework, and who are committed to student success. Established business experts enrich our graduate programs with their extensive knowledge and first-hand experiences.
- Quinlan students rely on the expertise of our instructors to gain a global perspective and to refine their analytical tools and managerial abilities, while sharpening critical thinking and leadership skills.

The Quinlan School of Business is steeped in the Jesuit tradition of "Cura Personalis" (from the Latin which translates as, "care for the person"). The concept of treating each person as a unique and holistic individual is not "cutting edge" or trendy at Quinlan. Rather, this idea is the foundation of an educational approach which has guided the mission of Loyola University Chicago since the university was founded in 1870. Academic rigor, thought-provoking classroom discussions and professors who truly love to teach are hallmarks of a Quinlan education, but there is much more to the Quinlan experience. The world of contemporary business is one which is often portrayed as being primarily driven by the bottom line and profit margins, no matter what the cost to other individuals, groups or the world at large. On the contrary, our graduate business programs function under the principle that it is possible to be successful in business while still operating in an ethical and responsible manner.
- Community: We value all members of our campus, local, and global community, and seek to develop involved and responsible community members who show appreciation for and represent the values of Loyola University Chicago and the Quinlan School of Business.
- Diversity: We value civility, respect, appreciation, and an in-depth understanding of diversity, including the ability to put knowledge into meaningful action.
- Ethics: We focus on ethical issues and challenges in business to develop professional business leaders who demonstrate ethical awareness, ethical judgment, and the ability to evaluate and make moral decisions in difficult scenarios.
- Justice: We value justice through service that uses learning and leadership in the pursuit of truth and care for others.
- Leadership: We value personal growth through leadership and seek to develop responsible leaders who are committed to the common good.
- Sustainability: We engage students in understanding and responding to local and global environmental issues by raising awareness, advancing our knowledge of environmental problems, developing solutions, encouraging action, and developing an environmentally conscious culture throughout the university.
From the time they set foot in their first class at the Quinlan School of Business, graduate students begin to build relationships and professional connections that will last the rest of their lives.
Take advantage of the many tools Quinlan provides to begin building your professional network, friendships, to stay in the loop about events open to current students and graduates, and to find ways to get involved and stay connected.
The part-time MBA and MS graduate programs at Loyola University Chicago's Quinlan School of Business are specially designed to meet the needs of busy professionals with hectic schedules. We know the sacrifices involved with committing time and effort toward graduate business studies, and our programs are developed with this in mind, to help you succeed.
- Accessibility—The Quinlan School of Business is situated at Loyola University Chicago's Water Tower Campus in the Magnificent Mile and Gold Coast neighborhood, easily reachable by CTA public transit and the downtown Loop.
- Flexible scheduling—Our courses are scheduled during the evenings and occasional weekends, so part-time students may earn a graduate business degree while working full time during the day. Students may choose to take 3 or 4 courses per quarter to complete a master's degree in approximately one year.
- Accelerated pace—10-week quarters allow our students to attend classes year-round and intensive curriculum design helps our working students get ahead faster.
- Work-life balance—Dedicating sufficient time to quality work and family life can be extremely challenging on their own, let alone while making time for education. Quinlan's well-structured, part-time MBA and MS programs allow you to maximize learning while minimizing time away from family, work, and other obligations.

Ah, this thread rises.
After reading through everyone so confidently dismissing it, I hope it turns out to be real.
"Allons-y!" - David Tennant - 10th Doctor.
"Bow ties are cool." - Matt Smith - 11th Doctor.
If it turns out to be a burning legion themed expac with Sargeras as the final boss, I have just one thing to say.
May 100 wipes be inflicted on each H Sargeras group for each lock hotfix we got this expac.
Also, when someone mentioned a second image:
"A man chooses, a slave obeys."
There are a score of better ways they could have sent the file around.
This is illogical.Smaller teams can just call over their art director to their computer and preview right out of After Effects or whatever you're using, but when you're working within a large company where some of your higher-ups might not be in the same building... a private video channel is pretty handy.
The entire company isn't working on the trailer.
A very specific part of the art team is.
It's pretty likely that the entire art team for wow is located in a single office space or floor of a building. The trailer team isn't going to send a 20 second effects test file for the patch trailer's logo to Mike Morhaime. If they show it to anyone, it's going to be to the other members of the trailer team right near them, or to the art director who is probably sitting down the hall.
But let's pretend for a moment that against all logic, Blizzard is putting files up on youtube for internal sharing.
What you are saying is that a member of the ART TEAM paused the video at a perfect point and then took pictures from several angels, AND THEN gave those pictures to a random friend to post wherever, potentially risking their job.
While it's a Good photoshop, I have to say fake, for the main reason of who posted it. The image firs appeared here on mmoc, posted by a user here, not a new user with 1 post, a user normal active member here, and the image doesn't seem to have been leaked anywhere else online before here. So either he made the image, or he works at blizzard and decided to leak stuff under his main mmoc account.
im fairly sure they were posted by the same person who made the fake dark below logo

The Bogus White House Letter
RAY: This Puzzler is from a fellow named Larry Hall. He writes, "Accept this puzzler and I can die a happy and fulfilled man."
TOM: So, to his wife who was planning to kill him, tonight's the night.
RAY: I want to preface the reading of the Puzzler by saying that there are hints embedded everywhere. So, here it is.
Larry writes, "John knew he had secured his fortune. After his father died in Dearborn, Michigan, he began cleaning out the attic. Most of the attic contained stuff that his dad had collected for 70 years or so. But while going through a scrapbook, he came across the treasure of a lifetime. It was an original letter to none other than Henry Ford signed by President William McKinley himself.
"This was the letter, as it came, on White House stationery. Up in the upper left-hand corner, it says The White House, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, DC, March 3rd, 1898, addressed to Henry Ford, 58 Bagley Avenue, Detroit, Michigan.
"'Dear Mr. Ford, we received your letter dated February 1st. This letter is written to thank you for your offer to present a gift of one two-cylinder, four-cycle gasoline engine-powered quadricycle that you have developed in your workshop in Detroit for use by the President. While such a vehicle is of high interest to machinists and hobbyists, I do not feel the automobile can be perfected to replace the safety and comfort of the carriages we have available to us here at The White House. Please feel free to write again should you ever design and manufacture standard horse-drawn buggies. I will happily forward that information to my Treasury Secretary, Lyman J. Gage, for possible procurement. Until that time, I must thank you for and yet decline your generous offer. Sincerely, William McKinley, President of the United States.'"
Knowing that this letter would bring a fortune from historians and collectors, John takes the letter to the curator of the Henry Ford Museum in Detroit. The curator expressed surprise and great interest at the find. But after several readings, he looked at him and said it's...
TOM: Bo-o-o-gus!
RAY: Exactly. How did the curator know?
Think you know? Drop Ray a note!

Tried It For The First Time And I Love It!!!!My skin gets so dry, more than many others because I have a condition called hypothyroidism which causes: dry flaky skin, hair breakage, and hair loss, just to name a few haha! Anyway, I actually ordered this product to increase my shopping total just to get free shipping. Imagine my surprise when I first tried it after a shower; not only was the smell intoxicating, but the dry oil dispersed so evenly. No blobs of oil, just silky, aromatic spa-like luxury. I will be ordering more soon, the bottle has been a source of competition in our home, who can grab it first at shower time, wins--haha.

To move into the fiction — which is the space between the stripes, all that brushwork — to move into the fiction, and to move out of the fiction, to be aware that you're in the world and at the same time … imagine standing on the edge of the world, if the world was flat, [where you] could see that amazing immense space out there and at the same time — you haven't fallen off — realise that you are standing on the edge: that's the kind of situation that I'm trying to maintain in these paintings.

Illinois & Michigan Canal State Trail at LaSalle
Explore the fabled canal route that connects Lake Michigan to the Mississippi River by way of the Illinois River. Once used by Native Americans and early explorers, today the trail meanders through four state parks with landscapes ranging from towering bluffs to rolling hills. Modern-day explorers can enjoy hiking, boating and even snowmobiling.
Shred down the slopes at Raging Buffalo Snowboard Park in Algonquin. Officially the world's first snowboard exclusive area, the park features five different runs with numerous table tops, rails and half pipes to keep you getting air all winter long.
Matthiessen State Park - Cross Country Skiing
Five miles of scenic trails amidst a spectacular geological backdrop enable hikers, mountain bikers, horseback riders, runners and cross-country skiers to experience a peaceful jaunt through the park, while families congregate around fully-equipped, shaded picnic areas neighboring playgrounds, trailheads and 17th-Century restored French fort.
Cross-Country Skiing & Snowshoeing at The Morton Arboretum
Explore a winter wonderland at The Morton Arboretum, where you'll find 3.5 miles of groomed ski trails. Bring your own or rent a pair of snowshoes or cross-country skis (in children's and adult sizes). Ski trails are open when there are four or more inches of snow on the ground.
Starved Rock State Park - Ice Climbing
While rock climbing is prohibited, there are up to five canyons in which ice climbing is permitted when conditions allow. All ice climbers must sign in at the ranger station (Park Office) and must have a partner. Call ahead to check ice and other park conditions.
Allerton Park & Retreat Center
Allerton Park was the private estate of Robert Henry Allerton, who donated it to the University of Illinois in 1946. It features 1,500 acres of woodlands, formal gardens and more than 100 sculptures. The park is open to the public for hiking, picnicking, cross-country skiing and leisurely garden strolls.
The North Pole has moved to Central Illinois. Try your luck at the 6+ acre corn maze, the Grand Prix style race track, pick a pumpkin or a Christmas tree (depending on season), stop by the fascinating gift shop and, of course, see the reindeer!
Ski along scenic slopes at Galena's Chestnut Mountain Resort, perched high above the Mississippi River. Rated by Ski Magazine as one of the top ski resorts in the Midwest, Chestnut Mountain goes all out with a snowboarding park and night skiing. Stay at the rustic 120-room lodge, which has three restaurants, including the fine-dining Sunset Grille. There are fun non-skiing activities in the summer as well, including boat cruises on the Mississippi Explorer and the exhilarating Alpine Slide, which speeds 2,000 feet down a hillside. Or try the new Segway Mountain Adventure Tours, a three-mile guided ride through rolling terrain.
In the heart of the city you'll find a state-of-the-art park designed for the new millennium. Discover the reflective Cloud Gate sculpture, the multimedia Crown Fountain and the Frank Gehry-designed Jay Pritzker Pavilion, all with Chicago's stunning architecture as a backdrop. The park is also host to many free cultural programs, concerts and family activities. Plus, there's alfresco dining in the summer and an ice skating rink in the winter.

By David Wheeler/Special to the NEMS Daily Journal
Northeast Lady Tigers head coach Brian Alexander calls this an injury plagued year for his team.
And yet, here are the Lady Tigers tied for first place in the North Division, and hosting the defending state champion Itawamba Lady Indians today in a 5:30 p.m. start time, the other first place team.
"This game will be a measuring stick for us," Alexander said. "Itawamba is established, and we're looking at this game as a first step for us.
"We want to get in a position to compete, and this game will tell us where we are. We are very excited to be in a first-place game."
The Lady Tigers (9-6, 5-1) dropped the first meeting between the two schools on Nov. 29 by an 80-55 margin.
"It was a one-point game at the half," Alexander said. "ICC is a tremendously talented team, and I thought we defended them well.
"We did not respond well when we came out for the second half."
Part of Northeast's lack of response was from the first half injury to then-leading scorer Kay K. Tate. But players like Angelia Allen from Belmont, Talisa Boyd, LaTonya Gadison, and Antoinette Riddle of Tupelo have responded.
And Northeast has picked up a boost with the return of Kebrina Lucas from New Albany from a hand injury.
The Lady Tigers have a four-game winning streak this month.
ICC:eye on playoffs
For Lady Indians (11-6, 5-1) head coach Nanci Gray, this time of year is all about playoff positioning, rivalry notwithstanding.
"It's about doing what is needed to get in the playoffs," Gray said. "We want to be first or second if we can.
"Still, it's a big game for us, a fun game. But we sell it as a division game."
Ty-Nita Baker of Houston paced ICC in the first meeting with Northeast, hitting 21 points, while LaTonya Collins added a clutch 17.
"It was hard to get the lead early in that game, and after the half, we were able to take control," Gray said. "They lost a player in that game, but they've adjusted nicely."

Judging by the statement it just issued, the World Gold Council isn't moved by fund manager Eric Sprott's call to revamp the industry's emerging-market demand statistics.
From the group just now:
A response to Eric Sprott's open letter to the World Gold Council
"Demand has been robust, particularly in Asia, both this year and over the previous decade – as we have consistently highlighted. The first half of the year has seen records set in terms of gold demand across a number of countries and sectors and the World Gold Council has been at the forefront in disseminating and explaining these outstanding figures.
The World Gold Council has been sharing gold demand data for decades and we place a great emphasis on the quality of our data. Providing greater transparency and accuracy to the supply and demand model is a process in which the World Gold Council is heavily engaged on an ongoing basis.
The use of import data as a proxy to measure gold demand is somewhat simplistic and does not take into account factors such as round-tripping and stocking/de-stocking. To effectively measure gold demand, a more detailed and holistic analysis is required.
Every ounce of gold purchased has to be supplied and, with constrained production, recycling has grown to meet the unprecedented demand we have described. Providing more transparency and accuracy to the supply and demand model is an ongoing process in which we are heavily engaged."
If you're new to this story, Sprott penned an open letter to the WGC arguing the WGC's data systematically underestimates burgeoning demand for the metal from places like China and Russia. He also linked investors' lack of confidence in the metal to the issue.
Sprott's offerings include the closed-end funds Sprott Physical Gold Trust (PHYS) and Sprott Physical Silver Trust (PSLV), down 20% down 26% heading into Thursday's session. Compare to the 20% slump in SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) and 25% in iShares Silver Trust (SLV).

Kia originally began as a producer of vehicles - bicycles. They also manufactured steel piping before making the eventual journey into the world of automobiles in the early 1970s – becoming the first Korean company to manufacture the combustible gasoline engine. Kia parts were used on other vehicles for years and they first produced and marketed vehicles in the United States in the early 1990s. They haven't looked back since.
Kia originally began with only a single model and slowly ramped up to their current line-up, which includes thirteen models. Their line of popular SUVs includes the Sorento and Kia Sprotage, while the Optima and Forte remain reliable choices for a sedan, coupe, or hatchback.
Despite their current lineup, Kia's development has been slowed by financial trouble in the late 1990s, resulting in a merger when Kia was acquired by Hyundai. Since the merger, Kia has become a major player in the Asian automobile market. An increase in their vehicle line-ups, quality, and overall performance has resulted in sizeable leap in reputation. Kia vehicles have become a reliable and viable option for all drivers, not just those seeking an affordable vehicle. With each passing year Kia solidifies its reputation and slowly gains more and more buyers.

The actress was prevented from bringing her emotional support dog, Maddie, on board.
Has airline etiquette gone to the dogs? Kristin Chenoweth thinks so.
On Tuesday, the actress cryptically tweeted: "American Airlines: Dallas flight attnt supservisor: Ms Kidwell. Abuse not ok. #tripfromhell"
Today, TMZ has the back story: Apparently, earlier this week, when Chenoweth tried to board a Dallas to L.A. flight with her Maltese Maddie, her emotional support dog, she was berated by a gate agent supervisor in front of several passengers — a lashing that brought Chenoweth to tears. Chenoweth, who regularly flies with her canine companion, countered that she had ticked all appropriate boxes to allow Maddie to board.
American acknowledged it had made a mistake and let Maddie on. "We have been in touch with Ms. Chenoweth to offer our apologies for the misunderstanding. We refunded the ($125) cabin pet charge as soon as we realized the mistake. We hope she will consider flying American again in the future," an American rep told the website.
One of Chenoweth's followers challenged her decision to out the employee: "No matter how rude she was, was it really necessary to publicly humiliate her?"
The actress countered: "yes it was necessary. I hope to help this not happen to anyone else. :)"

Spencer Loft Bisectional Sofa
by Gus Modern
At A Glance:
The mid-century inspired Spencer Loft Bisectional Sofa takes many of the styling cues made famous by designers of the mid-century movement and places them seamlessly within our modern context. The Spencer Sofa features classic blind-tufted seat and back cushion upholstery with a stainless steel inset base for a subtle change of pace from the design norm. Spencer's chaise is detachable, can be switched side to side, and is perfect for social gatherings.
What's To Like:
- When we hear the name "Spencer," we think "dependable, good-looking, and well-informed." That's a good way to describe the Spencer Sofa. It's awfully sturdy, and has looks to die for. We're not sure where the "well-informed" part fits in.
- A more compact version of the Spencer Sofa, the Loft version has a detachable chaise that can be used as a loveseat to make this a versatile and comfortable addition to your space.
What's Not to Like:
The only downside of the Spencer Loft Bisectional Sofa is its price. This kind of well-designed quality isn't cheap.
The Bottom Line:
The Spencer Loft Bisectional Sofa from Gus Modern is a solid choice - not just in terms of style but also in terms of construction, which is top notch.
- Dimensions: 31" h x 83" w x 34" d
- Mid-Century Modern style
- Chaise can be used as stand alone seating when separated from Sofa
- Hardwood frame is constructed with FSC Certified wood in support of responsible forest management
- Steel base is recessed from the sides for a "floating" look Frame and cushions have piping along edges
- Two square bolster pillows included for good looks and comfort
- Stress-tested joints
- Non-marking leveler feet on the bottom of the legs
- Coordinate with the matching Spencer Chair or Spencer Sofa

This sectional is a prefect addition to our city apartment. Comfortable, stylish and very versatile. Added some much needed seating to our small space.

Explore The ITF
antidoping ITFITF
14 Oct 2013
Updated London, 14 October 2013 –A significant number of athletes in a wide range of sports across the world have committed Anti-Doping Rule Violations by virtue of positive tests for methylhexaneamine (MHA), which is a prohibited stimulant.
This substance is known under several other names, including 4-methyl-2-hexanamine; 4-methyl-2-hexylamine; 2-amino-4-methylhexane; 1,3-dimethylamylamine; 1,3-dimethylpentylamine; 2-Hexanamine; 4-methyl- (9CI); Forthan; Forthane; Floradrene; Methylhexaneamine; Geranamine; DMAA. Athletes should avoid products that claim to contain any of these substances.
There are a number of products that are known to contain (or have contained) MHA, including Jack3d, OxyELITE Pro, Hemo Rage Black, Dexaprine, M5 Extreme, Muscle Meds Code Red, Lipo 6 Black, 1 M.R., DynaPep, Anarchy Covalex, Muscle Spike, Noxipro, Isatori PWR, Muscletech Neurocore, Muscletech Hydroxystim, Fahrenheit Nutrition Lean EFX, Muscle Warfare Napalm, SNI Nitric Blast, BIORhythm SSIN juice, Gaspari Nutrition Spirodex, MethylHex42, Grenade Universal Grenade, M.A.P. (iovate) Arson, Geranamine, and !Tight Xtreme. This is not necessarily an exhaustive list.
Players are also advised to exercise extreme caution when using any food supplement product, as these are often not subject to strict manufacturing controls, and may contain prohibited substances that are not declared on the label, or in different concentrations than stated on the label.
Not only may the use of such substances expose players to positive anti-doping tests, but also to significant health risks. MHA has been connected to high blood pressure, headaches, stroke, and has been implicated in the death of a marathon runner. A recent report from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) states that OxyELITE Pro (or a counterfeit version thereof) is implicated in a number of cases of acute non-viral hepatitis in the USA. The FDA is advising consumers to stop using any product labelled as OxyELITE Pro. The ITF produces a wallet card containing a range of anti-doping information, including the full WADA prohibited list, which players are advised to keep with them at all times in order to check (and/or get physicians to check on their behalf) the contents of all products that they ingest. The wallet card may be downloaded from the ITF Anti-Doping web site at www.itftennis.com/anti-doping.
Players are responsible for everything they ingest, and a positive anti-doping test cannot be excused by a contaminated supplement.
For further information, please contact the ITF Anti-Doping Department at: firstname.lastname@example.com. See also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methylhexanamine.
