The American thirst for eBooks keeps growing, and yet, one of the cornerstones of the American reading scene is still not a big enough player: libraries have yet to offer enough eBooks to accommodate the recent surge in digital reading. According to a new study, 53% of American readers feel that there should be more eBooks in libraries. If the demand is there, why aren't more eBooks available?
The answer is a little confusing. Large publishers are wary of offering digital titles to libraries for fear of losing some of their market. However, study after study has proven that readers who go to libraries and read eBooks, end up buying even more books than those with only the option of buying eBooks online. Until the publishers come to a consensus about how best to lend eBooks, the amount of eBooks in libraries will still remain below the apparent demand, and this is bad news for readers.
"The availability of eBooks isn't happening fast enough," says Christopher Platt, the Director of Collections and Circulation Operations at The New York Public Library. "The availability hasn't kept up with the demand. The demand is there. Our eBook usage over the last few years has risen six-fold."
Libraries play a huge role in promoting technology adoption. From the Internet to tablet computing, libraries are where many Americans go to familiarize themselves with new technology. Typically, when publishers do allow eBooks to be lent by libraries, they charge them an exorbitant amount of money, virtually fleecing a public institution.
"It's an education thing, also. We need to make sure library users are aware that we offer eBooks to begin with.We offer more workshops than we ever have," Platt says. "The publishers have to wrestle with a new business model, but they need to allow us to do this. This train has already left the station and it's a question of whether you're driving the train or holding onto the caboose for dear life. This is just going to become even more exciting for libraries and how we interact with patrons."
But this stand-off between libraries and large publishers might not last much longer: a new bill in Connecticut proposes forcing publishers to charge libraries the same amount they would charge the general public. If the bill gains support, expect similar legislation to take off nationwide.
Still, the publishers' loss is independent authors' gain. A smaller browsing section allows more independent titles to gain visibility and find both circulation and reputation.

Split Antler Chews
These chews are split in half so it is easier to get to the bone marrow. It is a perfect introduction for dogs that have not chewed on elk antler before.
Elk Benefits
Elk antlers have important nutrients that promote strength, stamina, energy and support the immune system to keep your dog in good health. It has been used in medicine for over 2,000 years and is consumed by both humans and domestic animals. The antlers by themselves are rich in minerals like glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate and hyaluronic acid that work together to keep your dog at his best.
Quality of Elk
The elk used for these chews are raised at Wolf Creek Elk Ranch in Minnesota. It is an entirely pollution-free, natural environment. Combining that with the process of certifying and registering the elk with the Board of Animal Health and Elk Breeders Association insures that the elk have the proper health and nutrition. The quality of the elk products are guaranteed.
Renewable Process
The antlers are a sustainable resource because each year healthy bull elk grow antlers and then shed them. They are removed once a year in a low stress process under the management of a herd veterinarian. Once they are shed the antlers are used for chews and in other toys.
Product Highlights
• Ranch Raised Elk That are Registered and Monitored to Ensure Health
• Does Not Splinter Because They are Fresh
• Elk antler is less dense than deer antler, so dogs prefer it
• Great for Joint Flexibility and Mobility
• Supports a Healthy Immune System
• Lasts longer than Wild Sheds and Rawhide
• The Bone Marrow Helps to Clean Dogs Teeth
• Made in the USA
Sizes - Please note, prices will increase with the size of the antler.
• 4 inch SMALL - for Small to Medium Breeds
• 8 inch LARGE – for Large to Extra-Large Breeds
• 8 inch EXTRA-LARGE – for Giant Breeds

Mariners bullpen falls flat vs. hot-hitting Angels
ANAHEIM -- Angel Stadium continued being a house of horrors for the Mariners on Monday as Aaron Harang and Seattle's bullpen got hit hard in an 11-3 loss in the opener of a four-game series.
The Mariners are now 0-3 at the doorstep of Disneyland this season, getting outscored 30-4 in the process with the Angels hitting .425 on 48 hits in the trio of blowouts.View Full Game Coverage
ANAHEIM -- Angel Stadium continued being a house of horrors for the Mariners on Monday as Aaron Harang and Seattle's bullpen got hit hard in an 11-3 loss in the opener of a four-game series.
The Mariners are now 0-3 at the doorstep of Disneyland this season, getting outscored 30-4 in the process with the Angels hitting .425 on 48 hits in the trio of blowouts.View Full Game Coverage
Harang has taken two of those defeats in Anaheim and lost his third game of the season to the Angels as the veteran right-hander lasted just five innings.
Harang, 35, has thrown shutouts this year against the Padres and Astros, but the rest of baseball has had the veteran right-hander's number. And the Angels are first on that list as he's now 0-3 with a 12.35 ERA while allowing 27 hits and 16 runs in 11 2/3 innings to the Halos.
The Angels racked up a season-high 21 hits on Monday. A dozen of those came against Harang, though he limited the damage to four runs before being replaced by Carter Capps after five frames with a two-run deficit.
But the Halos blew the lid off with seven runs in the sixth, with Capps giving up four in just two-thirds of an inning, the last three coming across after Charlie Furbush couldn't stem the tide after entering with the bases loaded. Furbush was tagged with three runs of his own (one earned) while allowing four hits before he finally struck out Josh Hamilton to end the frame.
Harang is now 3-7 with a 5.73 ERA overall in 11 starts since being acquired in an early-season trade from the Rockies.
The Angels jumped on Harang for eight hits and four runs in the first two innings, with Hamilton delivering a two-run shot that just deflected off the glove of leaping center fielder Michael Saunders in a three-run second inning for a 4-0 lead.
The veteran took advantage of an aggressive Astros team to throw a two-hit shutout his last outing, but the Angels are a lot more experienced and came out looking for his fastball early in counts.
"I've faced a lot of those guys over the last few years and they know I'm going to be aggressive and try to throw strikes and get ahead early with my fastball," Harang said. "After that second inning, we kind of had to flip things around and go off-speed pitches early and try to get ahead with that. That way you kind of keep them off of just sitting on the fastball."
Harang was left shaking his head over the three-run second inning when the speedy Peter Bourjos was called safe on an infield single after shortstop Carlos Triunfel's throw pulled Michael Morse's foot off the bag at the last second. So instead of getting the second out and potentially emerging unscathed on Trout's ensuing fly ball, Trout wound up with a sacrifice fly and Hamilton followed with his two-run shot.
"If that play goes differently, I get the next batter to fly out and it's a totally different inning," Harang said. "Then I'm probably going out for the sixth or even the seventh. It's crazy how one little play like that can change the whole aspect of a game."
Southpaw Jason Vargas picked up his first win against his former Mariners teammates, allowing two runs and four hits over seven innings as he improved to 6-4 with a 3.65 ERA while striking out a season-high nine batters.
"He did a great job with his fastball and changeup," said manager Eric Wedge. "He had a great feel for his changeup and he does what he does. He does a good job of moving his fastball around and keeping you honest."
Vargas lost to Seattle 2-1 in his only prior meeting this year after being traded over the offseason for Kendrys Morales, so he appreciated the offensive support.
"You definitely don't want to take the runs for granted, but you go out there and just attack the strike zone," he said. "You know you've got some room to attack with."
Rookie second baseman Nick Franklin hit a two-run homer to left field off Vargas in the third to cut the deficit to 4-2. It was Franklin's third home run since being called up from Tacoma three weeks ago and his first while hitting right-handed.
"I've been trying to hit as much right-handed as I can, just because I don't see an many lefties," said the young switch-hitter. "So the more the better. I'm starting to get back into the right-handed groove and see more pitches."
But the Angels extended their lead once Harang departed as Capps gave up a run on Albert Pujols' double off the right-field wall and then proceeded to see the wheels come off completely. Pujols and Alberto Callaspo went 4-for-5 and Mike Trout went 1-for-3 and scored the 200th run of his career in just 249 games, the fastest Major Leaguer to 200 runs since 1940.
With the win, the Angels improved to 31-39 and moved into third place in the American League West, a half game ahead of the 31-40 Mariners.
The Mariners played without Jason Bay due to a sore hamstring and continue having to play Michael Morse and Morales despite injuries, but Wedge indicated help could be on the way after general manager Jack Zduriencik was in Sacramento watching Triple-A Tacoma on Monday night.
Wedge said first baseman Justin Smoak and outfielder Franklin Gutierrez are getting close to full health, while Dustin Ackley has also been swinging a strong bat since being sent down and converting to the outfield.
"We also need to get the guys here healthy and some of the other players going," Wedge said. "Obviously, Nick has been doing a nice job and [Kyle] Seager is very consistent. We need to get Michael Saunders going again. We've got Ackley down in Triple-A and he's been swinging the bat well. He's working in the right direction. Mike Zunino has done a nice job in the short period of time he's been here. When you separate it all out, there's reason for optimism offensively, but it has to come together collectively."

Primary grade children can be introduced to this concept by sorting objects like leaves, shells, or rocks according to their characteristics. Intermediate grade children can classify vegetables or fruits according to properties they observe in them, and then compare their own classification schemes to those used by scientists.
Primary children can learn about systems by studying the notion of balance--for example, by observing the movements and interactions in an aquarium. Older children might gain an understanding of systems by studying the plumbing or heating systems in their homes.
Young children can learn about this concept by observing and arranging color tones. Older children can investigate the properties of a butterfly during its life cycle to discover qualities that stay the same as well as those that change.

July 1, 2011
Dear Supporter,
Personal note from Janet: One of my most delightful
moments in this two-month period was the 2-hour vigil in Venice,
CA on May 4, as I enjoyed the company of my colleagues C.J. Minster
and Kristen Ess Schurr, the two interns Dara and Sanaa, and several
local folks, holding
banners and speaking out for peace. It reminded me of
how standing in vigil literally grounds my activism.
On July 16 -17, I'll be hosting a Rebuild
the American Dream house party. As Bring
Our War $$ Home campaigner C.J. Minster reminds me (and
all of us) here: The American Dream Movement is developing a manifesto
of what a new American Dream looks like. We're encouraging CODEPINKers
to participate in this process and remind our sisters and brothers
that Bringing the War $$ Home is a foundational aspect of rebuilding
the dream. Hosting, or attending, a house party is a great way
to meet new folks and connect our peace messaging to the needs of
our home communities.
I have some very good news to share: my nephew, a captain in the
Marine Corps who has been deployed to Afghanistan for several months,
is now home with his wife in North Carolina. Although the drawdown
is far smaller, slower and more inadequate than we need, it would
never have happened without our peace movement pushing and making
noise which we will continue to do until ALL our troops come home!
I take comfort and inspiration from CODEPINK's
Roseroots' words, actions and long-term commitment, and I want to
give a special shout-out to all military family members and veterans
on the Roseroots listserv. I look forward to representing CODEPINK
at the Veterans for Peace conference in Portland, OR in August,
and am planning to go to DC
for October 6 and beyond. Can you join me? May local highlights:
Starting May 1, Bay Area CODEPINKers
set out on a weeklong peace pilgrimage from San Francisco to Sacramento,
stopping at communities along the way to highlight local issues
such as underfunded mental health care, protests to stop development
of Native American burial site, city budget cuts and more. For an
example of one day of the pilgrimage, please
see. As Marie Bravo, local coordinator from the Lake
Tahoe area who joined the pilgrimage wrote, Vallejo is a bankrupt
city, and so we chose to focus on "Busting the Myth." We spend over
$126 Billion per year for war, our government spent billions bailing
out corporations and financial institutions, tax cuts have been
extended during a time of severe budget shortfalls, yet when we
need money for human services the answer is We're broke!
This project, which culminated in several days of activism against
education cuts in the state budget, has inspired Maine Bring Our
War $$ Home activists to do a similar project from September 11
to October 6! (More on that in Coming Up section.)
On the night of May 1, Osama
Bin Laden was assassinated by a team of Navy SEALs in
Pakistan, along with 4 others, and his body was dumped in the Indian
Ocean. Inspired by a long email thread started by Portland, OR local
coordinator Martha Shelley, I compiled local organizers' responses
to this event and the subsequent public rejoicing for Pink
Tank. Attorney Natalie of Davis, CA summed it up: As
a lawyer I cringe every time I hear that justice has been served.'
What I learned in law school
this is NOT justice, and they are
not fighting for our freedom, and freedom is just chaos without
well-organized justice
I'm so glad I'm on the email list for codepinkers!
It's interesting being in such a minority.
The DC local organized an immediate response, engaging with celebrators
on the night of the killing and turning out a dozen people with
visuals in front of the White House the following day.
Always active Mainers had several local spotlights this month. CODEPINK
co-founder Medea Benjamin was the keynote speaker, focusing on the
upcoming Gaza flotilla, at Peace Action Maine's annual
Give Peas a Chance supper on May 7. Local folks and Medea
the Bring Our War $$ Home message to Senators Snowe and
At the other corner of the US, Tucson codepinkers organized by Mary
DeCamp did an action
at a shopping mall for Mother's Day, skillfully engaging
mall cops so that they were not kicked out []. On Memorial Day,
Mary attended the memorial march and ceremony in honor of a veteran
shot by police in his home, and encountered hostility from a Marine
Mom. Mary
wrote, Several in the gun-totin' crowd came up to talk
to me, and established nice human-to-human connections. Many thanked
me for being there and representing peace.
Houston codepinkers are known for participating in the annual Art
Car parade, and on May 22 they showed their flair in the Make Out,
Not War truck designed by Shelley B. On Memorial Day weekend, Houston
CP constructed the civilian memorial piece of a huge
memorial to the dead of the US-led wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Madeleine Crozat-Williams, local coordinator worked to draw attention
to the children affected by war by displaying posters written in
Pashto, Arabic and English. "People
need to understand the cost of the war," Madeleine told
her local paper. June local highlights:
Supporting alleged whistle-blower/wikileaker Bradley Manning has
been a big CODEPINK focus all this year. In New York City, codepinkers
set up a clever Have your picture taken street display, where
people held up a Bradley Manning photo card in front of their faces,
with the messages We
Are All Bradley Manning and I Am Bradley Manning prominently
displayed. More
on Bradley and this campaign is below under Campaign
The LA-area CODEPINK
local was very active this month, doing a protest at the Anaheim
Convention Center of war criminal and featured speaker Condi Rice
on June 6 as part of the Accountability/Expose War Crimes campaign.
Orange County activist Sharon Tipton reported: "Get a job!" someone
yells, and I forget my usual retort, "Get a conscience!" Later,
I think of a better, more thoughtful one, "Millions have died. We
have blood on our hands. I have a conscience. Do
you have a conscience?"
The DC local stepped up to support the right of Saudi women to drive,
a sign of the Arab
Spring spreading to one of the most misogynist countries
in the world. CODEPINK
has a petition on this issue on change.org.
Obama's announcement of a lingering 5% drawdown of the 100,000
US troops and 100,000 (approximately) military contractors in Afghanistan,
which will take until summer 2012 with no end in sight to the overall
war, drew responses from DC and the Bay Area. DC pinkers went back
to basics on Capitol Hill work by bringing the pink
flair to an important House Rules Committee hearing on
the 2012 Military Appropriations bill. In San Francisco, Kirsten
Moller of Global Exchange and I organized a hasty day-after protest
at the New Federal Building, our PEACE banner and signs reading
US Troops Home Now and Bring Our War $$ Home Now inspiring honks,
peace signs and a cabdriver pulling over to take a flyer
and talk.
The final weekend of June is a celebration of LGBT Pride around
the nation. The month came to a very PINK
conclusion as CODEPINK
locals in San
Francisco and NYC
raised much-needed awareness about Manning in the LGBT community
last weekend by marching in Free
Bradley Manning Pride contingents. New groups:
We welcome a new CODEPINK
local in the ITHACA-area, specifically in Trumansburg, NY?Rebecca Murphy,
firstname.lastname@example.com, is the new local coordinator there.
To start a new CODEPINK
local, please read
this. Campaign news: Accountability/Expose
War Criminals:
Campaigner Nancy Mancias, along with codepinkers from around the
US, traveled to Ft. Leavenworth, Kansas as part of the Free Bradley
Manning protest organized by allies Courage to Resist, World Can't
Wait, Bradley Manning Support Network and others on June 4. The
openly gay Army private who is alleged to have leaked 100,000s of
US military and diplomatic documents to Wikileaks has been moved
from solitary confinement in Quantico Marine Corps brig to a medium-security
prison in Ft. Leavenworth where he is treated like a normal prisoner.
More on this in the Truth Set Free report below.
Nancy represented CODEPINK
at the Netroots Nation conference in Minneapolis on mid-June. She
reported: What I loved about the conference was that everyone was
wired, for example, if I sent a tweet about a panelist who was stage,
the panelists would immediately respond
I was inspired by [speakers]
Van Jones [and] Rep. Keith Ellison. The labor leaders who spoke
at the morning welcoming were awesome! It was great to see familiar
faces and meet new people. I was able to hand out all the Accountability/Truth
Set Free flyers.
Bring Our War $$ Home:
This campaign, under the direction of C.J. Minster, celebrated a
major victory at the US Conference of Mayors in Baltimore on June
20 when the nation's mayors voted after vigorous debate and two
amendments to ratify the Resolution Calling
on Congress to Redirect Military Spending To Domestic Priorities.
This was the first time since the Vietnam War that the USCM
had put out a statement on US foreign policies and wars,
and the development was covered widely in the mainstream and alternative
media. C.J. and other codepinkers, including Lisa Savage of Maine's
original BOW$H campaign, made a strong coalition with economic justice
and other community groups in Baltimore. Read
Lisa's Common Dreams article about it here.
The Los Angeles City Council just passed the Bring Our War $$ Home
resolution by a vote of 12 to 1! Congratulations to the LA area
team for mothering this through. The mayor of Spokane, WA signed
on to the mayors' resolution, even though the vote happened a couple
of weeks ago, and this campaign continues to get attention.
Please vote for the People's Budget!
C.J. does a lot of alliance-building work, including with UFPJ,
New Priorities Network, WILPF, WAND and other organizations. If
you are interested in joining her in anti-NATO work (the next NATO
Summit on Afghanistan will be in Chicago in May 2012), please contact
her at firstname.lastname@example.com. Middle
The major focus of this campaign in May was the first-ever Move
Over AIPAC conference in Washington, DC, during the annual,
lavishly funded AIPAC conference. The Move Over AIPAC team did a
superb job of organizing several days of conference with major speakers,
street actions, evening programs at Busboys and Poets, public debates
and listening sessions with AIPAC participants, from May 20 - 24.
Controversy and anger erupted when 5 MOA activists disrupted Israeli
Prime Minister Netanyahu's speech to the AIPAC conference, and were
brutally grabbed, beaten, and otherwise abused while being ejected.
The following day, May 24 Rae, from her seat in the gallery, disrupted
Netanyahu's speech to a joint session of Congress, and was mauled
and shoved so badly she
had to be hospitalized. Despite the extreme unpleasantness,
Move Over AIPAC was a great success, generating new alliances, media
coverage and attention on AIPAC and its power over Congress.
In June, the major action was/is the Gaza flotilla including the
US ship, the Audacity of Hope. As I write this, the flotilla is
stalled in Athens, and the DC local has begun a 24-hr vigil in front
of the Greek Embassy with boat-shaped sign, candles and determination. Truth
Set Free:
Formerly known as Hands off WikiLeaks, our Truth
Set Free campaign has evolved in response to the growing
need to support whistle-blowers and fight for government transparency.
Our new Truth Set Free campaigner Melanie Butler is strengthening
CODEPINK's efforts
to protect truth-tellers by forging alliances with the Government
Accountability Project (GAP), and the Committee
to Stop FBI Repression, in addition to continuing to
work with our friends in the Bradley
Manning Support Network.
On June 4th CODEPINKers
joined Bradley Manning supporters from across the country in Leavenworth,
Kansas, for a demonstration at the Fort Leavenworth prison where
Manning awaits trial. Among the hundreds
who gathered to demand Bradley's freedom were his father,
Brian Manning, and World War II era veteran Sally-Alice Thompson,
who led CODEPINK
in a song she had written for Bradley []. CODEPINK NYC, World
Can't Wait, and other local allies held a solidarity
rally in New York.
On June 15th CODEPINKers
and members of the Bradley Manning Support Network rallied
outside the federal court in Alexandria, VA where Manning's
friend and supporter David House had been summoned to testify. The
next day CODEPINK
NYC joined the Committee to Stop FBI Repression for a National Day
of Action in solidarity with Carlos Montes, a Chicano activist whose
home was raided by the FBI in May.
National staff news:
We said good-bye to our media/social media coordinator, Jean Pockrus,
and to Shaden Dowaitt of the DC office, with thanks for their tremendous
hard work over the last several months. In San Francisco, we said
a fond farewell to our intern Chelsea Byers, who put her enthusiasm
and brains into actions and gatherings.
We say welcome to Truth Set Free campaigner Melanie Butler. Melanie
is a NYC-based peace activist who has worked with War Resisters
and anti-war groups across Canada. She joined the team on May 21st,
hitting the ground running at Move Over AIPAC in DC. She opened
a new NYC CP office, along with intern Malak at 666 Broadway, Suite
500, New York, NY 10012. Phone: (212) 300-2397.
Another new hire is our new social media coordinator, former intern
Sanaa Bengholam, who has been an intern in the Venice, CA office
since March of this year and who has excellent communications and
social networking skills.
We welcome our summer interns in our four offices. Coming up/SAVE THESE DATES!
Ongoing: CODEPINK
is getting involved with 10
Years and Counting in preparation for the October 6 and
beyond actions planned for Washington, DC. Please contact C.J. at
firstname.lastname@example.com to
get involved.
July 16 17: Rebuild
America house parties are being organized by MoveOn and
others for grassroots involvement in job creation and other much-needed
uses of our government. Jodie Evans, our Executive Director, encourages
us to take part in these so that we can bring our messages of ending
US wars and militarism as part of the mix, and to connect with our
neighbors and community members.
August 1 - 10: Nuclear Free Events in Japan. CODEPINKers
in Osaka, Japan are hosting their guest Nydia Leaf of the NYC Granny
Peace Brigade, organizing and speaking at a forum on a nuclear-free
world, participating in a Meeting for Nuclear Free World in Hiroshima,
and enjoying a reunion of the Green Tea Party back in Osaka. The
horrific and ongoing catastrophe at Fukushima following a 9.0 earthquake
in March means that this is an especially important gathering of
all peace-minded and anti-nuke (power and weapons) folks from around
the globe. Hisae, local coordinator of Osaka, has done a great job
of reaching out to Americans and emphasizing that we must be glocal
both global and local.
August 18 20: CODEPINK
Southeast Region Planning Conference at The Farm, TN. Join CODEPINK
TN coordinators Elizabeth Barger & Ashley Offt, and women from
throughout the Southeast for an unforgettable weekend of sisterhood,
storytelling, learning singing, stratagems, and taking action for
a more peaceful world! For more info contact Eliz at firstname.lastname@example.com.
September 11: the 10th Anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the
US is an opening for us to say, Enough war and violence! to a
war-weary country. October
6 and beyond: I've been hearing from codepinkers that
they ARE going to this, that they're thinking about it, that they
want to know more. Whether in DC in our home communities, this 10th
year marker of the US war in Afghanistan is more than one more sad
anniversary it's a time to take a stand our ground against permanent
US war and occupation and against the imposition of the 2012 austerity
budget. Taking actions and creating victories for peace,

March 8 – Happy Birthday Bob Grim
No Yankee pitcher has had a more impressive rookie season than the one Bob Grim put together in 1954. Not only did he win 20 games in his debut year, he did it while pitching just 199.0 innings, which is the fewest of any 20-game winner in history. Seven of those victories came in relief roles, which helps explain the low number of total innings. For his effort, Grim won that year's Rookie of the Year Award and led New York to a 103 victory season, the most wins in the six seasons Casey Stengel had been managing the club. Ironically, that Yankee team failed to win the AL Pennant for the first time since Stengel was hired, finishing eight games behind Cleveland. Still, all of Yankeedom was thrilled to have this new young right-hander and Big Apple native on a Yankee starting staff that was then transitioning from the Reynolds, Raschi, Lopat era to a new rotation generation led by Whitey Ford and Grim.
What might have contributed most to the end of Grim's career in pinstripes was his failure to pitch well in October. In both the World Series he appeared in, 1955 and '57, Grim pitched poorly in key situations contributing to New York's disappointing losses in these two seven-game Fall Classics. In June of 1958, Grim was traded to Kansas City. After two decent seasons of relief pitching for a very bad A's ballclub, he faded quickly. His big league career ended in 1962 with a 61-41 record and 37 career saves. Born on March 8, 1930, Grim passed away in 1996.
Today is also the birthday of this other one-time Yankee twenty-game winner and this former Yankee reliever.

For science fans near Philadelphia, here are photographs from a recent visit to the Delaware County Institute of Science, based in Media, Pennsylvania. First my favorite (a grumpy dried frog), then small thumbnails of the rest. Mouse-over a photo to see a brief description of what it is (but try to guess, first), or click it to launch larger version with titles. If you want to see any of the photographs even larger, or want to read the gruesome details, visit my original gallery.
If you are in Media to eat (and you should … see http://www.mediarestaurants.com for listing) or in court because you're a bad person and got caught (it's the County seat), you can visit DCIS on a Monday, Thursday, or Saturday morning (9am – 12pm). They also feature monthly talks: the next one is November 9th and focuses on the Mason-Dixon line (oh, yes, there's a story there).

We're using PieSync to help a client of ours sync their contacts in two different CRM's. In one CRM, contacts are signed up for a trial to use our client's software, and in the other CRM, this trial sign-up triggers an automated email workflow. Before PieSync, contacts would be sent from one CRM to the other upon creation. Later, if they signed up for a trial, their updated trial sign-up information wouldn't be sent from one CRM to the other. This wouldn't trigger the email automation campaign, and new trial users wouldn't get the information they needed. Now we have PieSync, and that information is accurate, all the time. Let me know if you need some more information.

On the eve of World AIDS Day, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton Monday made the strongest statement yet by an administration official that the United States will not tolerate efforts to criminalize homosexuality among countries that receive U.S. funding to combat HIV/AIDS.
"Obviously, our efforts are hampered whenever discrimination or marginalization of certain populations results in less effective outreach and treatment. So we will work not only to ensure access for all who need it but also to combat discrimination more broadly," she said during a press conference in which officials also announced that the XIX International AIDS Conference, set for 2012, will be held in United States — the first time the conference has been held here since 1990. "We have to stand against any efforts to marginalize and criminalize and penalize members of the LGBT community worldwide."

November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month.
This year, approximately 160,340 Americans are expected to die from lung cancer, accounting for 28 percent of all cancer deaths. That is why there is an entire month dedicated to this disease, raising awareness and increasing research to help put an end to it.
People like to think that lung cancer is a self-inflicted disease from smoking. The truth is that radon, second-hand smoke and air pollution all can cause lung cancer. The American Lung Association encourages everyone to help stomp out the stigma of lung cancer and increase awareness about the disease.
The American Lung Association launched a new online resource at http://www.MyLungCancerSupport.org designed to guide and support those living with lung cancer and their loved ones during every stage of the disease. I encourage everyone affected by lung cancer to visit this website to learn more.

Like so many in his generation, Ryan Reeves, better known simply as Ryback, fell in love with professional wrestling as a boy, watching it, he says, from around the time he was five years old.
"I really, really got into it around the age of 11," Reeves said in a telephone interview this week. "That's when it really hooked me."
But it's probably a safe bet that not many in his generation were physically preparing to become a pro wrestler before they reached their teens.
By age 12, Reeves, now 32, was a fitness junkie.
"It wasn't so much weight(lifting then)," Reeves said. "It was more pushups, crunches ... body weight stuff. I had all the fitness gadgets growing up -- hand grips and things like that. Freshmen year in high school is when weights were introduced to me and I fell in love with that."
Given his lifelong love affair with fitness, it should come as no surprise that today Reeves stands six-foot-three and a shade under the 300-pound mark.
"The neighbourhood I grew up in, we had a lot of kids ... and we'd get together and whatever season it was sports-wise -- basketball, football, baseball, hockey -- we'd be out in the streets playing all day long. But when I was home at night, I would do my (workout) stuff at night. I remember working out hours on end. I didn't know what I was doing, but I just enjoyed the physical aspect of it."
Reeves's entrance to pro wrestling came via WWE Inc.'s $1,000,000 Tough Enough reality show. Reeves and 49 others -- including another current WWE superstar, The Miz -- competed for a $1,000,000 professional wrestling contract split evenly over four years, with only the first year guaranteed. Reeves eventually became one of the eight finalists to appear on Tough Enough Season 4, which was aired as part of WWE Smackdown in late 2004, and was the last to be voted off. While he didn't win the contract, he impressed enough to earn a developmental deal with the company.
The Tough Enough experience was one Reeves said he'll never forget.
"Obviously, being a fan and coming in ... you know it's not going to be easy, and you don't know what to expect. It's very physical and it's mentally very frustrating at times when you first start out," he said. "You're told you suck. It's just one of those things where you've just gotta keep going."
For Reeves, quitting was not an option.
"I never gave up ... and things worked out very well."
"Bill DeMott was by far the hardest trainer I've ever had," Reeves said, matter of factly. "It was very physical ... bootcamp-style training. When we started, I ended up having to a lot of double classes -- eight-hour days. It was a lot of bumping and a lot of Hindu squats, a lot pushups, a lot of crunches and a lot of blow-up drills. It mentally made me much tougher."
That mental toughness would come in awful handy, as Reeves would toil in the WWE's developmental territories for the better part of six years, before landing on WWE television, competing as Skip Sheffield first on WWE's NXT program, then as a member of the stable known as the Nexus.
"I always knew deep down I was going to make it," Reeves said. "I saw a lot of guys come in after me and get called up well before me and I never took that as a negative. I knew deep down that when the time was right for me, the time would be right. I wouldn't change a thing. Mentally, and physically, everything that I had to go through, the injuries and the setbacks and the struggles, it made me who I am today."
It changed the course of career.
"I was with Nexus and things were going well with that, and (when) I had that big injury ... that was the best thing that ever happened to me," Reeves said. "It allowed me to really, really buckle down, just to come back from the injury itself, but (also) to mentally prepare for what I wanted out of all of this. The timing worked out just perfect. I'm very, very thankful for that."
Reeves attributes credit to former WWE Superstar Diamond Dallas Page's DDP Yoga for helping him during his recovery.
"When I came back from the big injury -- I was in bed from the injury for the better part of six months; I'd lost a lot of my core strength and flexibility and things of that nature -- I started doing (DDP Yoga) religiously. It helped me," Reeves said. "I just started feeling younger again." A lot of the movements from DDP Yoga are a part of Reeves's daily stretching routine now.
After rehabbing, Reeves reinvented himself as the man-beast known as Ryback, who would merely rack up a 38-match winning streak to open the new chapter in his career. The streak, almost from the get-go, drew comparisons to that by the legendary Bill Goldberg.
For his part, Reeves was flattered.
"Obviously to be compared to a guy that was at the top of WCW and WWE, that's always a good thing," he said. "I always say people are loyal to those who come before us. Bill Goldberg has a lot of loyal followers. I never took it as a negative."
"I knew, though, it would just take a little bit of time for people to become loyal to me and to realize that I am different than him. There are a few similar things -- the intensity, the bald head, the big traps and all that -- but I knew that in time, I would set myself apart from him and we've done a good job of that thus far."
Yes. Yes they have.
Reeves' winning streak ended at the hands of another streaking superstar, former WWE champ CM Punk, whose championship run lasted a remarkable 434 days.
Working with the champ, even in defeat, was an unforgettable experience, Reeves said.
"You've definitely got to raise your game going up against a guy like that," he explained. "He is truly one of the best in the world. He goes out there every night (and) he wants to go out there and give it everything he's got. You know when you're going against a guy like that, you have to at least match that. Me, I want to outdo that. It's definitely done nothing but help me, being in there with a guy like Punk.
"Obviously, I would have loved to have won the WWE Championship early on, but I know when the time is right, the time will be right. He brings it when he's in there. He gets the best out of me when I'm in there with him."
"It's a dream come true," Reeves said of the prospect of headlining a match at WrestleMania, which will take place at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on April 7. "One of my goals for this year is to be in a big matchup for WrestleMania and hopefully that all works out.
"When we're in Ontario, it's me, [John] Cena and Sheamus versus The Shield," Reeves said. "I've had my issues with them over the last few months. But come WrestleMania, I'm looking forward to whoever they put in front of me, and going out there and just delivering ... raising my intensity level to an all-time high and coming out of there victorious."
Fans and those who cover the WWE have floated the idea -- some might even say fantasized -- of the powerful Ryback facing the Phenom, The Undertaker, with the Undertaker's perfect 20-0 record on the line in a past-versus-future matchup.
For his part, Reeves would lunge at the opportunity.
"I would love to be able to wrestle him, especially on the grandest stage of them all, WrestleMania," he said.
His alter ego, Ryback, would relish the opportunity to end the winning ways of the legendary Deadman.
"I would love to be the one that ends (his streak). It would a career-defining moment," he said. "A lot of guys have tried and they've failed. I believe I am the right one to end that."
Reeves pauses, before adding: "No offence, but if the Deadman wants a piece of Ryback, he's going to get introduced to the Meat Hook clothesline and the Shell Shock and 1-2-3.
"I can only hope."
"I look at it one day at a time," he said, mentioning the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view on Sunday, and the Monday Night Raw show that night in in Nashville. "WrestleMania is going to be a big, big career moment for me."
The Kingston show, Reeves said, like all non-televised WWE events, will be a lot of fun for fans.
"These live events are great because the fans get to see a lot of great matchups -- there's no commercials," he said. "It's a lot of wrestling and it's fun. It's great to be able to interact with the fans and to be able to put on a great show for them. We actually get to meet a lot of them; we do meet-and-greets before (and) after the shows, we usually go out there and sign some autographs. It's a good way to meet the fans and get up close with them. People coming out, they get their money's worth for sure."

Kyle Mahoney - Throughout history there have always been puppets, and although many strive to be as lifelike and beloved as Jim Henson's Muppets... they're just not considered Muppets. But many have connections to the Muppets, and although they aren't Muppets I feel like some of them deserve to have a bit of recognition here at the Muppet Mindset. So we'll take a few well known puppets and see how they're connected to the Muppets and how they aren't.
Audrey II - Little Shop of Horrors
This carnivorous alien plant first took root in 1982 in the off-Broadway musical Little Shop of Horrors. The plant was designed and manipulated by Martin P. Robinson (Telly Monster and Snuffy on Sesame Street) but was not a direct product of The Jim Henson Company. Several versions of Audrey II were made, from a tiny, dying bud to a full-fledged monster able to swallow a person whole!
Four years later Frank Oz would adapt the show into a film, his first non-Muppet production. The film would still utilize puppetry for Audrey II. As with the original production many different versions of the puppet were built, all of which used advanced animatronics. Although Henson did not have a hand in the project he did know many people who worked on the project, including his son Brian Henson who was a principle puppeteer for the plant.
In 2003 the show was revived on Broadway and once again Marty Robinson stepped in and built the puppets used. But this time The Jim Henson Company helped him out and was credited in the design. Other Muppeteers who became part of the production included Matt Vogel and Anthony Ashbury.
Yoda - Star Wars
Long ago in a galaxy far, far away... a little green man made English teachers cringe. In Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, we are introduced to the greatest Jedi master who ever lived, Yoda. A common misconception is that Henson built Yoda and not farther from the truth could that be. Yoda was actually built by Stuart Freeborn who worked for Lucasfilm. Altough Jim and George Lucas did exchange a few technological ideas, that was the extent of Henson's involvement on the project.
Frank Oz, on the other hand, took a much bigger part in the character's creation. Not only did Frank help design the puppet, but he is perhaps best known as Yoda's voice performer with assistance from Kathryn Mullen. Lucas was so impressed with Oz's performance that he put Oz's name in the possibilities for the category Best Actor in a Supporting Role at the Academy Awards.
When George Lucas created the prequels for Star Wars, Oz once again provided the voice but with the exception of The Phantom Menace, Yoda was done with CGI. Currently Oz does not perform the voice for Yoda in the animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Tom Kane has taken over.
Avenue Q
In 2003 the Broadway show Avenue Q took puppets to a much more mature level, dealing with adult subjects. The play is meant to mirror the set-up of Sesame Street in that humans live amongst monsters and puppets in a New York City street. The puppets were built by former Muppeteer Rick Lyon through his puppet company. Although a bit of a legal dispute arose due to the similarities of the characters, the show was still put on with a fine print stating that the production is in no way affiliated with Sesame Workshop, The Muppets Studio, or The Jim Henson Company.
Lyon not only built the puppets but performed the characters Nicky, Trekkie Monster, and a Bad Idea Bear. Other Sesame Street performers joined him as well. John Tartaglia starred in the production as the characters Princeton and Rod, for which he was nominated for a Tony Award. Stephanie D'Abbruzzo performed Kate Monster and others and was also nominated for a Tony Award. Jennifer Barnhart took on a few roles and was an auxiliary puppeteer for when two characters played by the same performer were onstage or when a live hand puppet needed the use of both hands. The performance mimicked certain aspects of Sesame Street such as teaching new words such as Schadenfreude (happiness at the misfortune of others) and the idea of two very different people being roommates with Nicky and Rod.
So although they aren't Muppets or Henson creatures, let's tip our hats to these characters for being great works of puppetry that have just enough of a connection to Henson that we can talk about them with the same affection.

There have been many classic wrestling characters through the years: Hulk Hogan, Andre the Giant, Jake 'the Snake' Roberts, Randy 'Macho Man' Savage.
Joining that group is the Honky Tonk Man, who will be paying a visit to Cochrane with Stampede Wrestling May 12 at Spray Lake Arena.
While Honky was best known as a villain during the height of his popularity with the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) in the late '80s, Cochrane wrestling fans will see a slightly different version of the old-school favourite when he comes to town .
"Right now I'm really a good guy," says Wayne Farris, now 53. "The fans love to see me. They love to chat with me again and see that I'm still around and always doing what I always did."
Getting his start in professional wrestling back in 1976 with the independent Outlaw Federation in southern Missouri, the Honky Tonk Man brought his act to Canadian fans and Stampede Wrestling in Calgary back in 1982.
"I was known all across Canada before I ever went to the WWF," he recalls. "That kind of helped my career in WWF as far as being known by the fans in Canada before the American fans had ever seen this Honky Tonk Man gimmick."
And his time spent in Calgary left him with more than just professional benefits. His wife Tammy is a Calgarian and his son, Roy, was born in Calgary.
But it was in the WWF, beginning in 1986, that he and his Elvis-like character became an international star, holding the Intercontinental belt for an unprecedented 15 months starting in 1987.
"That was the highlight of my career," Farris admits. "That took me from mid-card to upper-card status, then to main-event level.
"I enjoyed doing it," he adds. "The only thing was the 300 shows a year was not very enjoyable. That took a toll on us. It was a grueling schedule. It made it not fun."
After participating in thousands of matches on the sport's biggest stage, the Honky Tonk Man says the most physical opponent he ever wrestled was the Ultimate Warrior, who infamously defeated him for the Intercontinental Championship in Summer Slam 1988 in a mere 32 seconds.
"It really was my call on the amount of time to put in for the match," Farris recalls, saying the quick defeat worked best in catapulting the Ultimate Warrior as the guy to take over top-billing from Hulk Hogan.
"(A longer match) would have exposed him as being not as good as probably he should have been.... It turned him into a superstar, which helped the company.
"For me being the bad guy, to lose very quickly to some muscle-bound bohemian like him, that didn't hurt me," he adds. "As far as my drawing power with the fans, I think it made them more angry."
Despite the loss nearly 20 years ago, fans haven't forgotten him.
In an Internet poll on wwe.com, wrestling fans voted the Honky Tonk Man the greatest Intercontinental champion of all time.
"I thought that was an honour," says the now independent wrestler. "That was something that wasn't predetermined or pre-planned or some shenanigans that goes on in the corporate world. It was actually done by the fans and it's legitimate."
Wrestling in 80 shows in six different countries in the past year, the all-time great says he is having more fun wrestling now than he ever has and is anxious to make his return to his Canadian wrestling roots when he comes to Cochrane, adding that he still has friends in town from his days in the Calgary area.
"I think the Canadian fans are more loyal," he says. "Americans, they're a little bit harder to be entertained. They're a little more critical."
And the intimate setting of Spray Lake Arena isn't scaring the Honky Tonk Man away.
"I don't mind it all," he says. "To me it's entertainment, and no matter whether it's on a stage of 20,000 people or in front of 300 people, it's still the same for me."
And he's hoping it will still be the same for his fans.
"I pretty much look the same as I did 10, 15 years ago," he says. "What I'm able to do is entertain someone for the time that I'm out there doing my little skit, and it makes them relive some history of their life for a few moments. They can go back in the past and that brings enjoyment to people I think."

Quade Cooper insists he can find room for rugby and boxing in the future as the Reds and Wallabies star prepares for his second professional bout.
Cooper will fight veteran martial artist Warren Tresidder at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre on Wednesday night and has reaffirmed his commitment to the sweet science, which he believes can happily co-exist with his footballing commitments with Queensland and Australia.
The Reds are largely comfortable with Cooper's boxing ambitions but ARU boss Bill Pulver remains sceptical, saying he wasn't around when the deal to allow Cooper the occasional fight was signed and he'd rather he focused solely on rugby.
It will be up for discussion when Cooper re-negotiates his ARU contract later this year, while his deal with the Reds extends until the end of 2015.
Cooper believes his boxing training has not only improved his fitness and ability as a rugby player but given him stability and discipline off the park. He rates his time spent in the gym as a key part of his new approach to life and sport.
He believes there can be room for both pursuits and it would appear boxing isn't going away, with Cooper becoming increasingly dedicated to the sport and serious in his ambition as a pro fighter.
"I have a great passion and love for the sport. It's not interfering in my rugby and I won't let it. I love doing both. I won't let either one come in the way of the other," Cooper said before the public weigh-in on Tuesday.
"I still haven't had a chat with Bill [Pulver], but after everything is out of the way I'm sure we'll be able to sit down and chat about the future. I'm looking forward to that. Right now, I'm just looking forward to this fight.
"I'd love to continue to do it and I will continue to do it. I don't want to get too far ahead. A lot of people have spoken about my potential in the sport but potential is one thing, doing it's another.
"I'm one round into one professional fight and that's the reality of it. I've shown a love for the sport but then it's back to rugby season and trying to win a title for the Queensland Reds."
Cooper will fight on the undercard of Anthony Mundine's bout with Kiwi call-up Gunnar Jackson. His opponent is a 40-year-old martial arts veteran whose most recent bout was a loss to former England cricketer Adam Hollioake.
Tresidder, shaved head and covered in tattoos, admits his record isn't stellar but says his experience will ensure Cooper goes deeper into the fight than last time, when he finished Barry Dunnett with a flush right in the opening round.
"I'm here to fight. On paper, my record doesn't look so great. I've had four fights, three in the cage and one in the ring. But all of my opponents have been formidable opponents," Tresidder said.

Parisian pre-natal yoga
Drew Barrymore is in Paris with her fiancé Will Kopelman. TMZ reported 3 weeks ago that Drew is pregnant. They had photos of her holding what looked like sonogram images. Click here to see. No official announcement from Drew has been released.
I'm told however that while in Paris, Drew has registered for prenatal yoga classes at several yoga studios. Now I don't do yoga (yes I know I should), but I'm thinking you don't go to prenatal yoga if you're not expecting, right?

5.51 pm.
Lord McNair: My Lords, I am pleased that the Government have given us a chance to debate two very important subjects. But I do rather feel that today we are debating two separate issues. AIDS and HIv are part of the drugs problem, and the spread of AIDS and HIV among drug addicts is only one of many health problems which drug addicts face.
I can find much to agree with in the Green Paper. I was particularly heartened by the descriptions of some of the local initiatives and the success that they are having in rebuilding the confidence and sense of security of some communities which are threatened by the drug culture. I wonder whether those projects involved a lot of money being put into a small area, or whether the sort of cost for the projects could be borne by the local authority, which may have several such areas within its boundaries. I am also pleased to see that the slightly secretive Cabinet sub-committee of three years ago has blossomed into full-blown interdepartmental collaboration, which is very welcome. In particular, I welcome the intention to put more money into drug education - although, bearing in mind the comments of the noble Lord, Lord Mancroft, to whom I always listen with great respect on the matter of drugs. We should put more money into drug education; but it is important to evaluate different kinds of drug education and to see what works and what - does not work.
I should like to make a point about the health of those suffering from HIV and AIDS. Over the past couple of years I have become very interested in the possible benefits of treating these conditions by means of the oxygen therapies. This is a fairly technical matter but it is timely that it should be aired in this House. The oxygen therapies are the various ways of using oxygen as a bactericide and viricide. They comprise treatment with hydrogen peroxide, orally or intravenously, and treatment with ozone. by infusion into the blood either intravenously or by removing a small quantity of blood, passing the ozone through it and then returning it to the body. I have met twice with the noble Baroness the Minister, once in 1993 and once last summer, to attempt to persuade the Government to provide funds for a proper investigation into the efficacy of treating AIDS and HIV with hydrogen peroxide. It would be appropriate also for them to investigate the various forms of ozone.
Before I move to the various political pressures on this endeavour, I should like to explain the theory behind the use of hydrogen peroxide and ozone and their effectiveness against viruses and bacteria. It seems that these groups of organisms evolved during a time in Earth's history when there was much less oxygen in the atmosphere than occurs naturally at present. I say "naturally" because in polluted urban environments the figure can be reduced to as low as 11 per cent. In nature, oxygen forms about 20 per cent of the content of the atmosphere. The effect of adding oxygen to the bloodstream in these ways is to create an oxygen-rich environment which is hostile to viruses and bacteria. The additional oxygen oxidises the foreign proteins that it encounters, which form the cell walls and fragments of the micro-organism. But in the doses recommended by doctors with experience in this field it does not attack the body's own proteins.
The effect that I am describing is similar to, but far greater than, the effect of lots of exercise, fresh air, and fresh fruit and vegetables, which also contain hydrogen peroxide. So, in fact, do our bodies. Hydrogen peroxide is a naturally occurring body product used by the white blood cells to destroy pathogens.
Originating in Germany in the 19th century, oxygen therapies are now used in many countries as an effective treatment for AIDS sufferers, many thousands of whom have had their death sentences reversed by these treatments. If I am right, how is it that what I am saying is probably new to most of your Lordships? If I am right, why is anyone still dying of AIDS?
The meetings that I mentioned with the Minister filled me with despair. Hydrogen peroxide is, as I have pointed out, a naturally occurring body product. It is also produced very cheaply by means of a very simple chemical process. The literature is in the public domain and is available to anyone who wants to know. Incidentally, there is no case of anyone being harmed by the sort of doses that are currently advocated by experienced practitioners. I should add that, for a condition as serious as AIDS, treatment by a qualified medical person with experience of oxygen therapies is obviously essential.
Hydrogen peroxide is what is known in the drug trade and in the Department of Health as an "orphan drug". What is an orphan drug? It is a product that might be of great benefit to mankind but which does not have the opportunity to prove itself for one reason and one reason only; namely, there is no money in it. I am not being fanciful or extreme in saying that that is what I and colleagues who are interested in this matter were told by Health Department officials at both meetings.
One medically qualified official was incredulous that a product could be so beneficial and yet not have its medical benefit matched by commensurate commercial opportunity. That is incredible. She told us that, if it was so good, it must be commercially viable to spend the Ł100,000 plus that is required for clinical trials. The fact is that it is not. One company that produces hydrogen peroxide has calculated that it would take 18 years to recoup the investment incurred doing the clinical trial.
The pharmaceutical industry spends millions of pounds every year on public relations. One company even took the trouble to send me the report of a trial that it had carried out to prove that wholemeal bread was no better than soggy white bread. it is not only that there is no money to be made following successful clinical trials; the main problem, I submit, is that the legal drug industry is worried that something as cheap as hydrogen peroxide would cut into profits currently earned from products that would be rendered unnecessary if it were properly investigated and found to be effective.
In my view, the evidence in favour is so compelling that, in refusing to investigate the possibilities for saving lives and improving the health of AIDS and HIV sufferers, the Government bear a heavy responsibility for the continuing deaths and reduced quality of life of these patients. Any investigation must include medically qualified people who have experience of these treatments. The noble Lord, Lord Colwyn, will be aware that the European authorities are clamping down on hydrogen peroxide products in the dental profession. I rather suspect that that is coming from the same source as other restrictions on natural health products.
We may be in a situation where the medical profession dares not investigate this matter properly because the political implications of having failed to do so earlier are too horrible to contemplate. I can only say to the Minister that I am sure that people who are affected or who have been affected by the loss of friends or relatives will welcome any initiative which saves lives in the future.
Before I leave the specific problem of AIDS and HIV, there is one final matter that I should like to mention. The question of the re-use and sharing of hypodermic syringes is a very important issue. I have been told that all hypodermics are marked with a warning that they should be used only once. If that is true, this, for people whose judgment has been impaired by previous drug use on the present imperative of "getting a fix", will have the same effect as the government health warning has on those of your Lordships who are smokers.
Yet it is very simple to produce syringes that are impossible to use for a second time. Several patents have been taken out for such syringes. My information is that after the retooling costs the cost per syringe is not significantly more than for existing syringes. You would think that manufacturers would see the commercial benefit of non-reusable syringes. Why has the Government not made it illegal to sell, produce or import reusable syringes?
I said at the beginning that I regarded today's debate as really two debates and the second matter I want to talk about is another aspect of the drugs issue relating to the health of drug users. I hesitate to use the word "misusers" because the distinction between legal and illegal drugs has become blurred over the past century or so. Not only are prescription drugs stolen and traded by addicts, but several of the major street drugs started life as prescription drugs. I am thinking here of heroin, cocaine, morphine, amphetamines and LSD which were all originally prescription drugs.
I want to talk about one aspect of rehabilitation, leaving it to others to go into details about what one speaker called "the interstices of policy". I want to look at one particular aspect of which I have some experience, having worked for a time with former drug addicts at a rehabilitation centre which uses the Narconon programme, developed by the American humanitarian and philosopher Mr. Ron Hubbard. Almost certainly, his single most important contribution to the science of drug rehabilitation was the discovery that drug residues lodge and persist in the fatty tissues of the body and re-stimulate the craving which a person has for his drugs. Other pollutants such as PCBs also remain in the body in that way.
The detoxification period at a rehabilitation centre using the Narconon programme is followed by a number of days, a part of each day being spent on a programme of exercise, sauna and food supplemented by vitamins, minerals and oils. It has now been established beyond all doubt that that regimen enables the body to eliminate the drug and other residues from the tissues and so eliminate the physical source of any continued craving. The physical aspect is by no means the whole story and the persons undergoing the programme will also examine in detail the ethical basis of their lives, the way they relate to others and the original reason why they started taking drugs.
The sauna programme is carried out under the general supervision of a medical doctor, who examines all participants before they start. It has also been used to good effect by medical doctors who specialise in treating patients whose bodies have been contaminated by industrial chemicals such as dioxin and PCBs.
Recently, technical advances in equipment used in measuring small concentrations of chemicals in sweat and urine have made it possible to monitor the amounts which are released from the body during the sauna programme. It has also been found that, having completed the programme, the levels of drugs or unwanted chemicals in the body continue to reduce, as, once mobilised, they continue to be released.
I suggest that any drug rehabilitation method or programme which does not use the sauna programme faces an uphill struggle in the battle to flee drug addicts from their addiction.
The importance of food supplements in the treatment of addiction is shown by the experience of Narconon staff, who found that every person coming in with a drug problem was deficient to some degree in certain vitamins and minerals. Those deficiencies themselves seem to be the root of many personality and emotional difficulties that these individuals experience and, when remedied, there is immediate improvement in their viewpoint on life. For example, it appears that the very experience of "getting high" on any drug, whether it be alcohol, stimulants, depressants, barbiturates, hallucinogenics or whatever, depletes vitamin B1 significantly, vitamin B3, vitamin C, calcium and magnesium, as well as many others in varying amounts. When large supplementation of those is administered either orally or intravenously to new arrivals, whether in withdrawal or having taken drugs, just recently, their ability to reason and to view their surroundings and problems more calmly - in other words to function as human beings - shows rapid improvement. All the participants are examined by highly competent and up-to-date nutritional specialists.
I recall a conversation that I had some months ago with the noble Lord, Lord Mancroft, about whether it is possible to cure drug and alcohol addiction. It may be an almost philosophical point, because one could say that, if someone is not using a drug, then he is cured. But the noble Lord's viewpoint was very definitely that there is no cure. The view of people with experience at Narconon is that there is a cure. When I said that I knew people who had been through the Narconon programme and were cured, he said that in that case they cannot have been addicts. I found that a rather circular piece of logic.
I know that the noble Lord helps to promote the Minnesota Method, based on the twelve steps. I know that it does a lot of good for a huge number of people. But I have a philosophical disagreement with it; namely, that the first of the twelve steps states that one is powerless in the face of one's addiction; in other words, that there is no cure. That is simply not true, and especially not true if one is able to remove the drug residues from the body, which is exactly what is achieved by the Narconon sauna programme. As I have already explained, that process is now quite simple to measure.
The Government are interested in value for money. Narconon unquestionably has the best long-term success rate of any rehabilitation programme in the world. The reason, apart from the skill and dedication of the staff, is the sauna programme. I am happy to be able to announce that Narconon is now able and prepared to train other rehabilitation professionals to deliver either the whole Narconon programme or just the sauna detoxification part of it, to improve the effectiveness of their work.
As part of the Government's ongoing evaluation of different rehabilitation programmes, the Minister may like to study the results of the many Narconon centres throughout Europe, including the one in the south of England. She will find them unsurpassed. She will find that there is a cure for addiction and that it is available and achievable. There is, in fact, no need for anyone who wants to be cured of his addiction to be unable to be so. The word is getting around the drug taking community: "If you really want to get off drugs, go to Narconon." That is not just because of the sauna detox. Former addicts whom I have met at Narconon say that there is a qualitative difference from many other rehabs in the way they are treated as individuals. They are never invalidated; no one-evaluates their experience for them; they are enabled to find their own way out of their problems.
I have focused quite deliberately on the one rehabilitation programme with which I am familiar. We have an immense problem with drug-taking and I have spoken about one very effective solution to one aspect of the problem. I do not mean to discount the enormously valuable and dedicated work done by those who work in rehabilitation centres up and down the country.
I end by saying that I wish the Government well with their co-ordinated strategy. Any contribution that I or Narconon can make to that success will be gladly made.

Outside midfielders Sainey Nyassi and Chris Tierney were the focal point of the Revolution's attack on Saturday night
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – In football stadiums around the country, it's not uncommon to see the grass worn down through the center of the field between the hash marks, where much of the rough-and-tumble takes place.
Taking a look at the Gillette Stadium field on Monday morning, however, it was half-surprising not to see noticeable impressions left up and down the flanks.
After all, that's where the majority of the action was on Saturday night during the Revolution's convincing 4-1 win over Toronto FC. Right midfielder Sainey Nyassi and his counterpart on the left side, Chris Tierney, consistently troubled the Toronto backline with a combination of speed and guile, and it was clever wing-play which directly led to two of New England's four goals.
"I think getting the ball wide was always going to be huge for us," said head coach Steve Nicol about the Revolution's approach against TFC. "The very first attack of the whole game we got it wide and caused them trouble."
The trend of spreading the ball to the flanks continued throughout the first half and into the second, when the consistent pressure finally paid dividends with four goals in a hectic 19-minute span.
While two of the Revolution's goals were opportunistic strikes following defensive miscues by the Toronto backline, the other two were well-worked goals down the right wing.
Nyassi linked up with forward Kheli Dube to set up the game-tying goal in the 47th minute, when a quick one-two set Nyassi free into the right corner. His driven cross through the six yard box found rookie Zack Schilawski open at the back post for the first of his three goals.
Schilawski was the beneficiary of another attack down the right wing in the 58th minute, finishing off Dube's curling cross after Shalrie Joseph's killer through ball began the move.
"That was the focus at halftime: get balls in the box and get on the end of those," Schilawski said. "As a striker, you've got to take that to heart and the second half, that's what was on my mind. Two great balls as far as weight and placement made it easy for me."
There seemed to be particular focus paid to the right side of the field, where the speedy Nyassi was lined up against TFC left back Raivis Hscanovics. The Latvian defender was signed midweek as an immediate replacement for Jim Brennan, who retired 10 days after Toronto's season opener to take a position in the club's front office.
Nyassi was well-prepared for the matchup, noting that he was aware Hscanovics had just recently arrived in the United States.
"I knew I can beat him, he's a new guy in the league," Nyassi said confidently after the game. "I think he landed like two days ago, so he must be a little tired, so I decided to just go at him."
It's that type of confidence to go at defenders which has led directly to some of Nyassi's best performances in his three-year tenure with the Revs.
Just 18 years old when he signed with the club late in the 2007 season, the Gambia international has blossomed during his time in New England and is beginning to show his abilities on a more consistent basis. Now 21 years old, there seems to be no limit to Nyassi's effectiveness when all cylinders are clicking.
"Sainey's talent is unbelievable," said Joseph, who made his 2010 debut against TFC after returning from a right hip flexor strain. "It's just a matter of when he's going to start putting that stuff together. Him and Kenny (Mansally), they are going to be unbelievable to watch."
While Joseph spoke of Nyassi's limitless potential, Nyassi gave much of the credit for his performance back to Joseph, who consistently sprayed the ball wide to both the left and right wings.
"We got Shalrie back, he always knows to play the ball wide," he said. "That's what I want, to get more balls wide."
With a visit to the west coast to face the San Jose Earthquakes up next on Saturday, April 17, perhaps the grounds crew at Buck Shaw Stadium should prepare for some extra activity near the sidelines.
