"DMAA is like a poster child for why the laws do not work that regulate supplements."
ABSTRACT: Its been a busy month for supplements. Ray Lewis gets caught using Deer Antler spray. New York Yankees catcher Francisco Cervelli claims that alleged PEDs he purchased from a Miami clinic were "legal ways to aid rehab and recovery." And the death of a 30-year-old woman who ran the London Marathon is linked to DMAA, a legal-for-sale supplement found in many energy drinks.
Despite the risks to career and health, the U.S. supplement industry is a $28 billion a year operation—and growing. We trust our supplements. They're all-natural, chemical-free, pure, and clean. Even if they don't work, they can't hurt, we say. After all, they're on the store shelves. So we take creatine before we lift, fuel with carbohydrate drinks on the bike and run, and pound down protein to recover. But do they make a difference? And most importantly: Can they harm us?
HYPOTHESIS: Sports supplements are unnecessary at best and lethal at worst.
METHODS: Enter DMAA, a drug originally developed by Eli Lilly to have the same effects as amphetamines without their addictive properties, says Pieter Cohen, M.D., an assistant professor of medicine at Harvard University with a special interest in supplements. Over the last seven years, DMAA has wound up on to the World Anti-Doping Agency's list of prohibited substances and has been banned by the U.S. Defense Department and a host of European countries. It's also in your energy drinks—Jack3d (until recently) and OxyELITE Pro being two of the more prominent brands—and appeares in 250 commercial products, according to a 2013 study in in JAMA Internal Medicine.
The question: Is it natural and is it safe?
RESULTS: It's neither safe nor "natural." While studies funded by supplement maker USPlabs found DMAA in the plant geranium, two follow-up studies—one in the Journal of Analytical Toxicology and the other by the University of Texas—found that DMAA does not exist in nature in the same structure as it does in supplements.
DISCUSSION: There's a low bar for safety and efficacy when it comes to your supplements. And it all goes back to the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (DSHEA), Cohen says. In the early '80s and '90s, people were making outrageous claims—vitamin C can cure cancer, etc. But the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) spotted a problem: At high doses, many vitamins are dangerous. So the agency logically moved to "set limits on how much vitamins could be found in pills," Cohen says. The backlash was fierce. People feared that the "FDA was making this power move to turn supplements into prescriptions drugs," and the drive to regulate vitamins was crushed.
Meanwhile, herbal ingredients, amino acids, and probiotics were thrown into the same regulatory mix as vitamins and minerals. Under the new laws, manufactures could make wild claims—last 10 times longer in bed, run at the speed of Usain Bolt—without repercussion. The only bar they had to pass: New ingredients had to "give some very minor amount of safety data to the FDA," and anything sold as a supplement or found in food before the bill's passing were grandfathered in as legal, Cohen says.

I hope someone passes Riane Eisler's beautiful book, "Sacred Pleasure," on to the Dalai Lama. Did he really say that "sex invariably spells trouble?" He is definitely missing something! It's that nasty body again with all its feelings that patriarchal religion abhors, getting close, being vulnerable, opening one's heart to love. He is missing being connected in that way.
Compare the life of a monk to a man with a family living in a community, in a life rich with attachments to his loved ones, a man who experiences a deep love for his child as he watches her grow, who cares for his friends, who is engaged in a variety of interactions and tasks in his life. A separated being like a monk is living half a life; his opportunities to experience life's important and maturing processes, like loving and being committed to another human being, like experiencing the heart connection of fatherhood, and the responsibilities of that role, are non-existent.
The Dalai Lama's remarks that "chastity offered a better life and "more freedom.." are very telling. (A little footnote here: I know from experience that there are times when not being sexual in one's life is very important. But, that is very different from saying across the board that chastity is the way to go.) He is obviously talking about his own experience and is saying flat out that life without a woman in it is "better and freer." We are just a problem, apparently, in his world.
I don't get a sense of his awareness of or his honoring of the sacred feminine. He clearly doesn't value what a love relationship might bring to one's life or what can be created together with another person. (Interestingly, he has never spoken out against violence and sexual abuse to women and children.)
The Lama continues to put out the same lingo that "patriarchal cowboy types" put out: "Women are always trouble. Love 'em and leave 'em is the safest." To quote the Dalai Lama, "some kind of desire for sex comes, but then you use human intelligence to make comprehension that those couples always full of trouble"
Kind of a patriarchal approach to relationship, I'd say.
Are his statements based on real experience? Was he in a relationship and it didn't work out? Has he been in a loving relationship for years, fathered and cared for children, tried to be a good father to them? Has he continued to love his partner, who he not only has great admiration for, but finds the bond between them to be a source of physical and spiritual connection that is deeply satisfying to both of them? Has he experienced a full-bodied life? Of course he hasn't.
The Dalai Lama then talks about the importance of "non-attachment" to our partners and children. This statement rings of the same "truth" that has been propagated through the centuries by Kalil Gibram who, as far as I know, never gave birth to a baby, or raised a child, telling us that "our children are not really ours . . they just pass through us."
Well, I have news for them. My children are always my children; my grandchildren are always my grandchildren. Our hearts are connected. And, I am interested, and I care, always.
Amazing that we listen to these men who have NOT had the experience themselves, telling us "how life is?"
The Buddhist's much belabored "non-attachment" concept is one of my pet peeves. As far as I can see, the reason for it is so that you won't have to feel any uncomfortable feelings. (Now I know there are folks who are in a state of anxiety over things best let go of, and many of us have benefited from meditation and a daily practice. I'm not knocking it all.) So, if you steel yourself not to care, then you can't get hurt. Another patriarchal stance. No caring mother would suggest such a way of being!
That's the thing about the patriarchy. Feelings aren't allowed. Feelings and "carrying on about something" is negated as "women's stuff". NOT HAVING FEELINGS is how the patriarchy keeps itself going. If the raping men and torturing soldiers' hearts were to suddenly break open as they inflict pain on another, they would be stopped in their tracks. They couldn't do such things to another person and hurt them like that--their own pain would be so great. By not feeling anything they manage to do what they do. Their hearts have been walled-off because of their own pain, (because it felt like too much to bear) . . . . therefore they can't feel anyone else's pain and can do the horrific things they do. As underlying rage drives it all. Of course, they do not escape unscathed, for the abuse lives on in the unconsciousness.
Feelings are where the juice is. Our feelings serve us in many ways. (They do come with the territory, you know. We must remember that! Animals have feelings too, especially strong maternal feelings.) Our feelings teach us about ourselves. They teach us about the hurts inside that haven't been mended, that need to be attended to. They teach us about the child within. Deep feelings open the door to our hearts.
It is important to feel it all, the joy and the pain. We need to learn to trust our own process, trust our body's and heart's wisdom. It is truly ok to FEEL. And, we need to do a whole lot more of it.
All religion as we know it is patriarchal religion. A male figure is the authority. Anything to do with the Mother, or mothering, is not allowed, not even considered. The qualities of mothering, nurturing, being compassionate, protecting - the sacred feminine with its deep connection to the earth built into our very cells - and our innate knowing of "how life is supposed to work" - none of this is allowed to surface. Of course, mothers still get to do a little mothering here and there, thank goodness, or the human race wouldn't still be here!
But, we see how very close we are to the edge of extinction, in every area. We have arrived at the logical conclusion of patriarchal religion and culture. A culture of power-over, of greed and violence and sexual depravity. A culture of death. That which destroys life is evil. That which supports life is good.
Barbara G. Walker writes, "After 3 thousand years of leading their world through rivers of blood, centuries of war, incessant exploitation, and spiritual dissimulation of the most shameless sort, the patriarchs may find that their loss of feminine understanding and creativity is their true original sin. By destroying the spirit of their Mothers they may have brought about the destruction of themselves."
Regarding the capacity for sexual satisfaction naturally built into our bodies, which the Dalai Lama cavalierly discards, aren't we grateful for that wonderful feeling of pleasure, the orgasm that releases tension throughout the body, and all that leads up to it? That moment of complete focus of attention which can transport one into a blissful connection with the One.
Wouldn't life be dreary without it? What a wonderful experience with someone you care for, with love and trust and openness between you; to be in a state of soul to soul contact. These are precious gifts from our Mother.
In the time when the Mother was known and revered, making love was known as a sacred connection and was highly honored. To be in such a "state" with another human being was deeply revered.
We can see how the patriarchy has taken this most precious and natural sexual connection between women and men -- and perverted it into a horror on earth. Where fathers and uncles molest and rape their own children and wives, where millions of children and women all over the world are turned into sexual slaves to be tortured, where illegal immigrant women being held in jail are raped; the list is endless. It happens anywhere that depraved and enraged men can rape and torture and get away with it. The possibility of rape is feared by all women everywhere.
Although we here are among the privileged, we are surrounded by a violent, war-ravaged, fear-driven world. Many of us have suffered child-abuse and sexual abuse in one form or another. And still we keep on going with our life's tasks, not the least of which is to truly awaken to our enslavement by the patriarchal culture and to say, 'no more!'
Our birthright as creatures on earth is to live in peace, in harmony with the earth and with each other. Our birthright is to live with open hearts and spirits, living into our fullest potential, which is ever expanding. Our birthright is to have our 'work' be our own unique creative contribution - to the whole.
We are living at the edge of time … in a time like no other. We are being guided and introduced into the greatest reality of all --that of the divine. This is the Journey of the Soul into the Mother.
One must come into a state of knowing one's self in order for the curtain to pull back; that means going deep and finding peace with and loving the inner parts of ourselves. There is no free lunch, however. The journey for that "knowing" crosses through the "sea of hurts and fears" that have been tucked away into the recesses of the heart. There is no way to go around it, it must be crossed. Once one enters the sea of hurts and fears, perhaps with the help of a trusted companion, and begins to uncover and honor and grieve the injustices, the shame and guilt and the losses, amazingly the pain loses its grip. The wound becomes soothed by a mothering hand. A healing can take place … a healing that opens the door to many things. Once we have opened to our own pain, we can then be fully present to another's pain.
We can begin to trust the wisdom of the Universe. We can gaze into the velvety night sky and be touched by the beauty of the stars and planets above. We begin to see the amazing journey we are on and can find the courage and moral conviction to take a stand against the injustices of the world and say, "no more!" We begin to trust the wisdom of the Grandmother, and our own wisdom, and can open to what Great Spirit has to teach us … as She ushers us into this new age of Love in the Heart.

I was born in 1933 and grew up on a farm in Illinois, deeply connected to the earth. A mother and grandmother, I have performed music all my life, inspired as a child by listening to my mother's beautiful low voice.
After graduating from Monmouth College, I married and raised my three children in Davenport, Iowa, at a time when neither of the words "relationship" or "sexual abuse" existed, and where much was suffered, especially by my children. After forty-six years in the mid-west I moved to Berkeley California, received a master's degree in clinical psychology, 1983, from John F. Kennedy University, expecting to be a healer in the world. Instead, I began a profound spiritual journey inward, initiated by separation from Ed Jackson, a man I deeply loved and recognized as my soul mate.
The loss of the Mother, the sacred feminine, crushed by the patriarchal domination of the maternal spirit—a spirit that once filled our world with wisdom and compassion—and the subsequent devastating abuse of planet Earth, and all her inhabitants was powerfully revealed to me through that "crack in the cosmic egg." All of my words and music and art and life are devoted to "heralding the return of the Mother, our Great Ancestress, from the depth of soul into awakening consciousness."
I am a programmer on listener-supported radio, KZYX in Mendocino County, on Women's Voices, interviewing courageous women who devote their lives to making a difference in this troubled world.

A major advantage gained was the Online Registration capability. Previous hours of collating paper registrations become a thing of the past as players are now able to register online without attending registration days or relying on the various club registrars to enter their details correctly. Sharks Registrar/Treasurer, Emma Gould commented at the start of registrations:
"The new system is fantastic, I love it. We had a registration day as it was expected from our members. We set up a couple of computers with internet access and took registrations for 2 - 3 hours. Last year I had to go home with all the registration papers and enter each individual registration into the database. This year by the time I went home it was all done. It has saved me hours of computer time".
SP Registrations has dramatically improved our time efficiency when taking registrations. With over 3000 members transacting online within this calendar year, it has allowed us to focus our time in other areas of the sport which have previously been neglected. The Online Payments facility has also meant we are not continually chasing our members for funds but rather receiving our money well before our competitions commence.
In July, we had 3096 Kids to Kangaroos Participants and we had 79% pay online!
Brilliant System! Can't wait to see what more it can do!
On behalf of the Watsonia Warriors Junior Basketball Club, players, families and committee, I would like to sincerely thank Daniel Smith and the team at Sporting Pulse. The Warriors have successfully converted to Online Registration with incredible success.
TRAINING – The session at DVBA was very informative. Support documentation was very easy to follow and matched brilliantly with the live tutorials. The best part was being able to access the system live and generate some test players and teams, so that we could actually watch the system in action. This instilled a greater sense of confidence for when we had to utilise the system for our own needs.
REGISTRATION – Thanks to the excellent training and documentation provided, this was EASY! Having a suggested sample document and being able to build / customise to our needs made the process almost seamless. No more forms to collect, no more handwriting to interpret, no more contact details to update, no more spreadsheets to maintain. It's all done by the membership and the Registrar's main duty is to watch it happen! Knowing that our current members just need to access the system and confirm or update their details in upcoming seasons is fantastic. It will make future Registration periods a snap, rather than a time to be dreaded. There are a couple of things we will do differently next time, but that's just tweaking an already terrific process.
FINANCES – Being able to accept Credit Card Payments has been invaluable. The vast majority of our members have taken up this option, meaning there are fewer manual transactions to be monitored. Funds are credited to our club account quickly, supported by clear and accurate reporting. This has made the Treasurer's role an absolute BREEZE!
SUPPORT – No doubt, having access to the Support Team via phone or email is a godsend. No request was too small or trivial. If we needed a customised field or report that didn't exist, it was built for us with no delay. Where we requested further training on reports we could generate for ourselves the staff were patient and thorough, not only demonstrating what could be done but explaining the reasoning behind the process. This enabled our Administrators to build on that understanding to further customise our process and reports.
REPORTS – Love Them!!! Thanks to the initial training and ongoing support, we have been able to build and edit many reports to meet our needs. Tracking transactions and payments, memberships, clearances, even uniforms and merchandise has become incredibly easy. Information can be sorted and/or grouped by almost any criteria you can imagine, dollar value, date, age group, gender, team, product, payment type, etc. This versatility has ensured that our various Coordinators have access to reports that are specific to their roles. The Boys' and Girls' Coordinators have easily created Team Sheets for the Team Managers at the start of the season. The Registrar and Treasurer have even used the Sporting Pulse reports to present at Committee Meetings.
COMMUNICATION TOOLS – At this stage we've only just begun to utilise the email system provided, but it's working brilliantly so far. Making "groups" and sending emails is very easy, however I would love to see the option to select multiple members at once, or to have the cursor return to it's previous position rather than the top of the list. Also, it would be great if we could select multiples of our custom groups (such as Team Managers AND Coaches, or all players in a certain age group) and send them one email, rather than having to create multiple emails or generate specific reports first.
TEAMS – (from our Girls' Coordinator and Uniform Officer) "Very easy to create and populate team lists. Great for making Team Lists for Team Managers to use, containing the contact details for each player. I would prefer for the system generated Team Lists to contain singlet numbers, rather than having to create a report as a "work around". Over all, it's a great system to use."
WEBSITE – (from our webmaster) "I found the website fairly straight forward after the initial learning curve. It's definitely better than the old system!"
Again, many thanks for all the work you've put into creating, maintaining and improving the Sporting Pulse registration system, and a special thanks to your support staff.
Wagga Touch Association (WTA) is a large regional affiliate, located within the state of New South Wales, in the Southern Suns region. The association hosts numerous competitions for Men's, Women's, Mixed and Junior Touch at Jubilee Park, with various formats running in both Season 1 and Season 2 each year. To efficiently manage their competitions and member details, WTA is a significant user of the SportingPulse products (Sportzware Central and Sportzware Membership), provided to them through the benefits of their affiliation with Touch Football Australia (TFA).
Whilst visiting the SportingPulse website, WTA Administrator, David Baggio stumbled upon this new solution to what can be a time-consuming and complicated process. Seeing the benefits of the new system, Baggio immediately rang SportingPulse to discuss the possibility of setting it up for his affiliate. Over time, and with the assistance of SportingPulse, the online system was set up, a business account was created, approval from the WTA Board was granted, registration forms were customised, and the new process was ready to be implemented in Wagga.
WTA decided to implement the SportingPulse Online Registration and Payments system to allow direct payments and registration from individual players, reducing the time spent going through financial records to identify who has not paid, and reducing the time spent having to chase team payments. WTA recognised that the online system required players to be individually responsible for their own registration, thus freeing up administration time and subsequently causing less hassle for committee members and the competition administrators.
"The ability to do Online Registration and Payments has helped our processes at Wagga Touch substantially, especially concerning the financial reporting aspects of our association. Online payments has provided us with an extensive reporting system, which easily makes it much easier to identify who has and has not paid, thus saving time for end of financial year reporting. Also the ability to accept online payments via the Pay Pal system has helped us to minimise risk associated with having large amounts of cash on hand, and trips to the bank. By using PayPal, payments are directly deposited into our association bank account within two working days," explained David Baggio.
It was a relatively smooth transition from the old process to the online payments, however as expected there was some adjustment time needed for identified participant groups of the affiliate. Overall, the feedback from the younger participants and members has been positive, as they are already familiar with making payments online for other aspects of their lives, such as online shopping, ticket purchases and so on.
WTA highly recommends the Online Registration and Payments system to all, other Touch Football affiliates, as it has drastically improved their financial processes and reporting; specifically in the collection of payments and it has also reduced the stress of processing transactions. However you must be aware of the business account conditions, set up with PayMySport, as the PayPal bank account does have a limit. Once that limit is reached, you must be prepared to provide proof of identity and other documentation to re-enter that account.
"Wagga Touch strongly encourages the Touch Football community to use this system. We are happy that we decided to implement this process."

How Group Purchasing Can Boost Practice Revenue
This article appears in the January 2013 issue of Managed Care Contracting & Reimbursement Advisor.
Physician practices don't typically devote much time to purchasing and inventory management because, after all, it's a doctor's office and not a warehouse. But some focus on purchasing and inventory can pay off with reduced costs big enough to affect your bottom line, says Dena Kitchens, senior director of physician services with Provista, a consulting company based in Irving, Texas.
One of the first options to consider is buying supplies and equipment through a group purchasing organization (GPO), which can give you more buying power than going it alone, Kitchens says. Her company offers a GPO to physician practices.
"A GPO can offer you significant savings in the supply chain when it comes to med-surg, pharmacy, or anything else that a physician's office purchases," Kitchens says. "Virtually anything that a physician practice would need to purchase, a GPO is going to have on contract already."
Some practices are already using a GPO but might not know it, she says. Sometimes a distributor will direct the practice's med-surg purchases through a GPO to provide a better price, but then the practice is not taking advantage of other potential savings from the GPO.

Why Deny Speakers of African American Language a Choice Most of Us Offer Other Students?
Mainstream teachers commonly invite mainstream students to freewrite and use very informal language for early and mid drafts of important academic essays--and hold off surface editing till the end. This amounts to inviting mainstream students to do lots of writing in their spoken vernacular--and to wait till the end to edit into a clearly different dialect: edited ("correct standard") written English. This essay argues the same approach for speakers of African American Language--and addresses objections.

The five Logan County residents are Elston Johnson from Logan, a 2005 graduate of Logan High School and 2009 graduate of West Virginia University; Darby Mullen from Peck's Mill, a 2007 graduate of Logan High School and 2011 graduate of Ohio University; Nicholas Meade from Man, a 2001 graduate of Man High School and 2010 graduate of Marshall University Graduate College; Michael Bledsoe from Chapmanville, a 2007 graduate of Chapmanville High School and 2011 graduate of Marshall University; and Ross Knowles from Chapmanville, a 2004 graduate of St. Andrew's Sewanee School and 2010 graduate of Fairmont State University. These students began classes on August 1, and will continue their medical education in Lewisburg for two years before beginning two additional years of clinical rotations at various locations, primarily in rural areas.
The West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine (WVSOM) is one of 26 Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine in the United States, and the sole institution in the state of West Virginia granting a degree in Osteopathic Medicine. According to the school's website, a recent study in the Journal of Academic Medicine ranks WVSOM as the highest ranking school in the United States in producing rural physicians. This study compliments WVSOM's 12th consecutive inclusion in U.S. News & World Report's "Best Graduate Schools" rankings. WVSOM was tied for 10th in rural medicine and tied for 11th in family medicine in the most recent rankings of all U.S. medical schools, both D.O. and M.D.

I can see citizens owning hunting rifles and shotguns. Their purpose is to kill animals. I'm not a vegan. I like venison as much as the next person. And, when it comes to protecting one's home, a shotgun is more than adequate and is in fact the preferred weapon because there's minimal chance of collateral injury and maximum chance of disabling your target.
I can see no point in anyone other than the military or the police possessing handguns or assault weapons. They have no other purpose than to kill people and only the police and military, in our society, have the right to kill people. The cowboy mentality of citizens wishing to own and carry such weapons is only going to add to the possibility of people being killed accidentally. I'm not talking about gun sale control laws, I'm talking about no sale of handguns or assault rifles to citizens and the confiscation of any that are already out there.
That probably will bother some folks, but I'd like them to answer one question: who do you want to kill with weapons designed to kill humans?
For sure, you don't need that assault rifle to kill a rabbit. You obviously want to be allowed to kill a person.
Who do you intend to kill?
You say you're going to kill "the bad guys"?
That's not your job.
The argument of the NRA that it's not guns that kill people, it's people that kill people has a grain of truth in it: it is America's dark fantasy of the wild west, shooting is the solution, might makes right mentality that is responsible for so much mayhem. It is people killing people…with guns. That argument, however, in fact fails because of that grain of truth: Americans can't resist using the availability of weapons designed to kill humans, to kill humans. Less availability, less killing of humans.
Another argument is that if handguns aren't available then people will just use knives or even sharp pencils. To equate an assault rifle to a pencil or kitchen knife is profoundly ignorant and insulting.
Despite what the NRA and its political stooges say, the purpose of the 2nd amendment is to allow the individual states to have a militia. I consider state militias–the National Guard–to be part of the military and therefore deserving the right to have whatever weapons issued to them that they need for their activities as is now the case.
Of course, there will always be a black market of handguns and assault rifles. Eventually, however, and I mean after several decades, those weapons will greatly disappear from the streets and will only be in the hands of those who should have them: the police and the military.
So, for citizens, hunting rifles and shotguns–OK, but no handguns or assault rifles.
For military and police, whatever they need.

Worst Subway Ever. This Subway is always dirty, understocked, over staffed and just plain rude. The staff does not know what they are doing. Someone needs to do something about this place. It gives Subway a bad name.
Sandwich chain offers healthy alternatives for diners on the go.. In ShortSubway's health-conscious menu is built around greaseless deli sandwiches--turkey, chicken, roast beef, etc.--made on soft rolls baked daily in-house. Customers pick white, wheat or a specialty bun, name the length, choose the toppings and watch as the sandwich moves down the assembly line. Wraps, melts, salads and chips by the bag diversify the streamlined menu. And despite the bread factor, Subway boasts numerous successful weight-loss stories and low-carb menu items.

The Kempe Foundation proudly supports the Kempe Center. You can support these efforts also:

The University of Colorado School of Medicine Department of Pediatrics, Children's Hospital Colorado, and the Kempe Center for the Prevention and Treatment of Child Abuse and Neglect offer a two- to three-year post-residency fellowship in child abuse pediatrics. The goal of the fellowship is to provide physicians who are board eligible or board certified in pediatrics with in-depth and intensive training in child abuse pediatrics that will prepare them for a clinical or academic career dedicated to the field of Child Abuse Pediatrics, which is now a recognized ABP subspecialty. More ABP information can be found at www.abp.org. In addition, the Kempe Center offers the Berger Fellowship, a two-year postdoctoral research fellowship.
The Kempe Center was founded in 1972 by C. Henry Kempe, MD, a former University of Colorado School of Medicine Chairman of Pediatrics. His 1962 publication of the landmark paper The Battered Child, establishing one of the nation's first Child Protection Teams in 1958 and founding of the national center in Denver, are both legacy and foundation for the current University of Colorado School of Medicine child advocacy and protection system of care.
The faculty at The Kempe Center consists of pediatricians, social workers, a pediatric lawyer, epidemiologists, child welfare services researchers, and psychology and psychiatry staff. Children's Colorado clinical staff have many faculty colleagues in the Departments of General Pediatrics, Critical Care, Emergency Medicine, Neurosurgery, and Surgery who provide excellent interdisciplinary care with the team for suspected child abuse victims and their families.
Past trainees continue very active involvement in the field of child abuse pediatrics and have become nationally recognized for their work with abused children as academic faculty, clinicians, and educators.
Clinical training during the fellowship includes extensive experience with The Kempe Child Protection Team, a shared multidisciplinary program of Children's Hospital Colorado and The Kempe Center. The team is the only hospital based multidisciplinary child abuse team in the state, The team evaluates and provides treatment annually for children who are suspected child abuse victims. Physicians, healthcare professionals, families, human services, law enforcement, and others in the Rocky Mountain Region refer to the team for consultation, treatment services, and support. Children's Colorado is the only Level One Pediatric Trauma Center in Colorado with very active Emergency Medicine, Trauma, General Surgery and Neurosurgery, and Burn Unit services.
Fellows participate in the medical diagnosis, consultation, and treatment of children who are admitted to Children's Hospital Colorado for serious injuries resulting from suspected physical abuse or neglect and sexual assault. The team also consults on factitious illness, non-organic failure to thrive, neglect, child deaths, and sexual abuse cases. A weekly clinic evaluates cases of child sexual abuse in an interdisciplinary team approach. Fellows learn how to obtain a detailed child abuse history, how to recognize and diagnose abusive injuries, how to analyze the mechanics of inflicted injury, how to interview families and children in the hospital setting, and how to use diagnostic tests to document abuse. Fellows will attend and participate in forensic autopsies of children who die from child abuse or other injuries and can participate in local child fatality review teams. Clinical call is shared with attending faculty who are based at Children's Colorado and our teaching affiliate Denver Health Medical Center. Rotations at the Denver County Family Crisis Center and local child advocacy centers are part of training.
Integral to medical evaluation is learning how to work with social service and law enforcement agencies to protect children at risk for abuse, death, or serious disability from abuse and neglect. Fellows learn about the legal systems involved in child protection and child abuse prosecution through didactic lectures, weekly child protection team interdisciplinary review, and direct court experience. The fellows learn state child abuse laws, how to be an effective witness, and how to document and present cases for the legal system. Court testimony by fellows is an expected part of training.
Fellows will interact with the staff psychologist, Child Trauma Program and IMHOFF Clinic for exposure to the mental health outcomes of child abuse and neglect. Fellows can also interact with and participate in other programs of the Kempe Center.
Fellows are required to complete the Department of Pediatrics fellow education series, which includes didactic courses in biostatistics, epidemiology, and research design. These courses include examinations and projects with pass / fail grades. The cost of the course is covered by the program. Additional training in the CCTSI Clinical Science Graduate Training Program is optional. Fellows are required to design and complete an independent study that can result in national abstract presentation and publication. Ample opportunity exists for presentation of abstracts and lectures at local and national child abuse conferences. Formal courses in biostatistics, epidemiology, and research design offered by the Colorado School of Public Health can be taken by fellows. The fellow is expected to enhance skills reviewed journal, write case in the area quality improvement.
Fellows have a wealth of opportunities to enhance their knowledge and professional growth through many activities. Provision of clinical supervision to medical students, residents, and other trainees is expected. Lectures, hospital seminars, and clinical care conferences within the residency program and in the community are among these teaching opportunities. Through active participation in weekly Child Protection Team meetings, the fellow will gain the ability to function within a multidisciplinary team and interact with many different child welfare colleagues.
Fellows will also have the opportunity to learn how a hospital- or community-based child protection team or child advocacy center operates. Close observation of and participation in the program's operation will allow the fellow to gain an understanding of budget development, clinic management and quality assurance and improvement issues.
Requirements include completion of an approved and accredited U.S. residency program and board eligibility or certification in pediatrics or family medicine. Application for medical license in the State of Colorado must be completed before initiation of training.
Fellows are selected directly through the department, NRMP for this fellowship will begin in 2014. Our Fellowship Application Form is available for download in the Adobe Acrobat Reader (PDF) format.

We teach children not to talk to strangers. And we don't let them watch R-rated movies when they're in third grade.
The Rio Grande river innocently snakes its way between Mexico and the United States, creating a border that has become much more than just a border.
Lake Lanier is approaching a historic moment, but it's not a cause for celebration. On Dec. 26 last year, Lanier hit 1,050.79 feet above sea level, the lowest point since the reservoir was completed in the late 1950s. Normal full pool is 1,071 feet.
Much of the foreign policy talk between the presidential candidates boils down to one primary issue: the war in Iraq.
As most area food banks can attest, need knows no season.
For a time during the presidential primary season, it looked as if health care was going to be the dominant issue of the campaign. Over the past few months, however, the topic has seemed to drop off the radar screen. "We all did think health care was going to be at least the No. 2 issue (after the Iraq war)," said Mimi Collins, chief executive officer of the Longstreet Clinic in Gainesville. "Now everyone's talking about the economy.
When he entered office in 2003, Gov. Sonny Perdue faced a budget shortfall. While there was a time of improvement, the current economic downturn has been evident in declining state revenues. But Perdue, who is about to begin his final two years in office, rejects the notion of being a lame duck and is upbeat about the remaining term.
They're well-versed in the sonnets of Shakespeare. They can explain Quantum physics to a room full of surly teenagers. And they stay after school to tutor struggling calculus students.
Nowadays, clocks flash instead of tick. Phones sing instead of ring. And it's only a matter of time before the TV crosses over to join its electronic brethren in the digital realm.
Scoreboards glowing above stadiums nationwide this fall will tell cheering fans if their team is winning. In the education arena, it's No Child Left Behind, the federal mandate President George W. Bush signed into law in early 2002, that keeps America's score on education.
For an hour this week, a group of seven high school students from public and private schools in Hall County spent an hour with the president of the University of Georgia in a dialogue that covered a variety of subject from how to get into UGA to "How 'bout them Dawgs?"
It used to be fairly straightforward. To improve your health, you went to the doctor. To improve your appearance, you went to the beauty parlor.
Brochures in hand, Carol and John Eggerding had imagined life in a close-knit community by Lake Lanier, staring at mountain vistas and rubbing elbows at the clubhouse. Little did they know they would wake up to a nightmare in their cul-de-sac dream home at Seasons on Lanier.
In Georgia courts, seeking the death penalty is a costly proposition. From jury selection to attorney pay, from hours upon hours of pretrial preparation to added costs for juror lodging and transportation, capital trials are by far the most expensive criminal proceedings undertaken in local superior courts.
Drive around Northeast Georgia Medical Center these days, and you can't help but notice that the landscape is changing. Exterior work is basically finished on two major construction projects, the Women & Children's Pavilion and the North Patient Tower. And down the road, a new three-story addition looms over the Imaging Center.
The most important fact of life is death. Yet, we spend our whole lives busily running away from that fact to create an ever-more complex world of endless trivial tasks and diversions. But the ultimate reality is that our time here is so limited and ever closer to the end.
WASHINGTON - The Trans-Pacific Partnership is a very special trade agreement. It is so special that our government officials who are negotiating it want to keep it completely secret from us.
WASHINGTON - Those who think we can protect U.S. jobs by turning inward have got it exactly backward.
In the aftermath of the Boston bombings, many are asking how someone who came to America at the age of 9, attended some of our best schools, captained the wrestling team, went to the prom and became a citizen could have inflicted such a devastating attack on our society.
Earlier this month, 35 public school teachers and administrators indicted for allegedly cheating to raise test scores in an Atlanta school district began turning themselves in to authorities. They may be the tip of the iceberg; a state investigation implicates 178 educators in the scandal.
America's economy is poised to roar ahead if only Washington would stop holding it back.
With Tax Day upon us, American families and employers are keenly aware of the deep cut the government is taking out of their household incomes and hard-earned profits - especially during the slowest economic recovery since the Great Depression.
America's economy is in the midst of a Great Stagnation that almost rivals the Great Depression of the 1930s, and the nation is fighting a costly and prolonged worldwide war against relentless Islamic terrorism.
In January, the Georgia Economic Developers Association hosted more than 50 state legislators at a luncheon to celebrate economic development accomplishments over the past 12 months. We also launched a year of celebration complete with a proclamation from Gov. Nathan Deal, as 2013 marks GEDA's 50th Anniversary.

Gardai have this morning said they want to hear from anyone who may have witnessed yesterday's accident at a rally in Co Cavan in which two people were killed.
Four people injured in the crash remain in hospital this morning and have been transferred from Cavan to Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Drogheda.
It's believed that one of the cars competing in the event lost control as it came over a small hill and crashed into a fence outside a house near Bailieborough where a group of spectators was standing.
The crash happened at around 11.30 yesterday morning and the rally was immediately suspended.
The two people who died were a 29-year-old pregnant woman who was attending the race with her rally driver boyfriend and a 50-year-old motorsports photographer from Co Galway.

Okay, I used Disk Utility to format a partition (previously Linux Swap) to HFS+, and there's no data on it, yet. Since then, Chameleon (actually, Chimera 1.8) has been booting in CLI mode. I checked with Chameleon wizard, and it says the GUI is set as on. I've manually viewed my org.chameleon.boot.plist, and it had nothing in it about the GUI.
Update: I've tried GUI="Yes" in org.chameleon.boot.plist, it doesn't work.

more details about your system and hdd please!
Posted 23 March 2012 - 01:57 PM
Check your /Extra/org.chameleon.Boot.plist and see if it's not set to load a theme that you don't have.
Posted 07 April 2012 - 05:30 AM
Hello everybody. After following your guides, it didn't come to anything, for some weird reason. I have 4 partitions on my HDD: Windows 7 (NTFS), Mac OS X (HFS+), Recovery (HFS+), Hameer (NTFS). The GUI vanished directly after creating the Recovery Partition, which was changed to HFS+ from Linux Swap (I previously had Ubuntu installed). Chimera 1.9.1 is installed on Mac OS X, which contains my /Extra folder, which Chimera should have detected, but it didn't for some weird reason. I've now copied over /Extra to "Recovery", and the GUI loads just fine. My question now is: how do I mantain only one /Extra, instead of two?
Posted 12 April 2012 - 04:08 AM
sure you aren't booting your recovery volume instead of the one you want to boot?
Might try chameleon instead of chimera, and see if that makes a difference.

No, unfortunately I'm using Chimera's injection for my card. I'll try installing it on my Mac OS X volume once again, though.

The new Somalia devoid constitution: A foetal in surrogate cloned to destabilise Somaliland but bound to miscarriage.
An Open Letter to his Excellency, Mr Bav tt, 8Aa888888888888888888888888888888888,,,,,,,,,n Ki- moon, the United Nations Secretary-General
From: Somaliland National Party
Date: 18th August 2012
Dear my honourable,
10pt" class=MsoNormal>I write to bring for your attention to our concern of the recently adopted Somaliaconstitution purported to be a panacea to the Somali conflict that has dragged on since the late dictator of Somalia, Siad Bare wasousted in 1991. Whilst Somali politician should have transformed the country into a functioning state, they transgressed the sovereignty by commissioning an act of instigating to transduce us into conflict within and among us. The new Somalia constitution, which places claim on our territorial integrity and along the perspective policies of current government are evil axis to destabilise Somaliland. Therefore, in my discourse to you, I would like to succinctly explain why you should stop the resource of the UN being used against. It is contrary to the UN primary objectives of which are to find permanent solution to the world conflicts. I would like you to revisit for minutes of your time Somalilands quest forrecognition at disheartened international community. In this letter I will further set out as to why we as an independent country should be recognised.
Responding to these issues, it is important to look into the historical perspective of Somalia and Somaliland to their statehood beyond the formation of the two states. It was in 1960 when most African stateswind of independence had swiped out across the continent coercing the Europeancolonializing power to adopt decolonisation process. Somaliland was one of those African countries along with Somalia thatbecame independent in that year. As Somaliland gained independence on the 26th June 1960, it was internationally recognised byfortysix states. Within days intoindependence, the Somaliland people forced their politician to unite them with the Somalia stateunconditionally. Somaliland in the year 1960, Somali nationalism was running strong;the popular public feeling succinctly explained theirdemand that so long as a single Somali speaking state, including Somali Ethiopia, the Somali in Kenya and Djibouti remained in the colonial rule their independence dreamwas inconclusive. The Somaliland politician succumbed to the popular demand of the people to unite all the Somali speaking in the horn Africa. The objective unification of the two states was to bring all Somali speaking people into a single statecalled Greater Somalia.But howdidthe two states get on with their reunion?
Within weeks of the unification of the two states that had createdtheSomali Republicstate, the relation between the twostrained. The honey money ran fast out of love steam. In reality, theoretical nationalism mismatched practicality. When the first ever Somali Republic government was formed, all posts gone to Somalia officials,including the president, the Prime Minster, and all key government ministerial position of defence, foreign and treasury went for Somalia officials. This had been compounded by theeconomic strangulation in which investment and development project were directed onlyto Somalia regions virtually condemning Somaliland a run-down region. In advertently, ithad deepened poverty and economic hardship in Somaliland society as they were short exchanged with the unification. The perception of the Somaliland people towards the driveto greater Somalia project hasbeen eclipsed by public outcry intertwined by remorse for throwing away their statehood. In addressing the grievance, the Somaliland armed forces within the Somali Republic army in the 1963 attempteda mutiny to forcefully take Somaliland out of theunion.Albeit the attempt had been unsuccessful, our people were remained steadfast to get out the union that got them into extreme poverty and economic hardship. This had been fuelled by the inability of the successful Somali governments to have the agency to resolve our grievance.
Eventually, this has led us to resorting to armed rebellion to regain our independence. Thisarmed rebellion was formed in 1981spearheaded by the Somali National movement with a mandate to drive out the Republic of Somalia armed forces from our country. Within twenty years, the SNM had accomplished this objective , however, victory didemanate at high cost in which all the major cities in Somaliland were levelled to ground and tenth of a thousand civilian population were killed.
Somalilandat the face of challenging economic and difficulties navigated away from storms ofturbulence ofinternal conflict through negotiation. Notwithstanding that we had our own hiccups of discontents within that have led the country into armedinter clan conflict; however, it hadbeen successfully resolved through localised conflict resolution.
In those rare circumstances that gotSomaliland intowars within, could not have happened had it not been cut and pasted upon us by our comrades Somalia. The current devoid constitution of the so called Somali Federal Constitution claims thatSomaliland is part of the Federal Somalia. With a mission of forcefully assimilating Somaliland back into the union, the inclusion of handpicked and unrepresented people of Somaliland decent into the Somalia parliamentarian was aimed at subverting us.
As our successive governments have produced the finest democracy in the developing world, reconstitution of the two states into a single state has foregone, as Somaliland over the past twenty years have changed beyond recognition and mistakes of 1960 were well learned. In delineating with a few examples, it has electeda president, elected local councillors and produced politically parties and not last but not least, it has held referendum on the union in which 97% of our people voted to remain as an independent state. The Ethiopian prime minster who weall wish him to get to get well soon was documented to have said that the democracy system Somaliland achieved is an example not only for Ethiopia but the whole of African countries.
In conclusion, Somalia should recognise the sovereign of Somaliland and desist into muddling of its internal affairs. It should also equally realise that the great Somalia dream is now dead as all the Somali speaking state, including Somali Ethiopians andSomali Kenyans arehappy with their union with their respective country. Further, Djibouti is a sovereign state that stated that it is not intrigued to pursue the greater Somalia dream. Therefore, Somalia should come to term that our sovereignty is non-negotiable and as such support the will of our people. Equally, the UN equally shouldensure that its resources not being used to destabilising our countryand to be proactively engaged to find a permanentsolution to the problems of the two countries that has dragged for so long. It is also important to note that Somalia has thrown out the new peace negotiation with us that was initiated by the British Prime Minster. Recently, the president of Somalia has publicly announced that unity of Somalia is indivisible. This isa derogatory term Somalia politician use against us to express their dislike towards the existence of Somaliland statehood and has led our government suspending the talks with Somalia.
Depressingly, twenty two years of culminations of improving human development and advancement of democratisation system inherited us to have produced a tenth of thousands of university graduates and school leavers. Regrettably, the international communitys failure to recognise Somaliland has confined generation of our youth to a lifelong unemployment and destitution. Albeit Somaliland is rich in natural resources, itscurrent international status has handicapped to get assistance from international institutions to fund development projects that could have created opportunities to fulfil their dreams.
Finally, we kindly requesting that you should consider now the case of the Somaliland that so long draggedbeingaccorded a priority case debated on the UNassembly. As pending the case of Somaliland indefinitely could get our names into the Guinness world records to becoming the first country to have a liability of peace and democracy. With production of highly educated youth, the UN must understand not to be complacent to let this youth exploit at its failure by extremists, risking their lives to the sea to get to Europe or being recruited into pirates. These are the stark reality face us and if you let us fail the international community could find difficulty to deal with the mess of its own creation. Our party has full confidence in you that under your watch you will resolve the Somaliland case within your term in office.
Thank you andI anticipate this letter to make its way to your desk to be a whistler below to the case of the Somaliland that could have been prevented getting to your attention, and kindly look forward to receiving your response.
Yours sincerely,
Ahmed Abdi Isse, BSc (Hons), MSc in Social Science

Vatican blames gays again
A Church bigwig explains: Celibacy doesn't cause pedophilia, homosexuality does
Topics: Catholicism, Life News
There's just nothing quite like watching a major world religion screw up on a level rarely seen outside the banking industry. So hats off the Catholic Church, which keeps trotting out grumpy old men to say terrible things on a pretty constant basis these days. The latest offender is Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, the Holy See's secretary of state and the pope's top aide. Speaking in Chile on Monday, the high-ranking official in a church that has been plagued by widespread sexual abuse and cover-ups said, "Many psychologists, many psychiatrists, have demonstrated that there is no relationship between celibacy and pedophilia but many others have demonstrated, I was told recently, that there is a relationship between homosexuality and pedophilia. That is true. That is the problem." Ah, yes, that's the problem. The gays. When they're not busy destroying marriage, they're molesting children.
Let's get the obvious out the way first – it's not true. Science figured out a long time ago that being same-sex oriented has nothing to do with pedophilia.
But just in case that quip of Bertone's wasn't enough to make little rivulets of rage ooze out of your ears, it gets even better. Finding himself leaping yet again into damage control mode, Vatican spokesman Federico Lombardi whipped up the "clarification" on Wednesday that Bertone was referring to information from the Vatican's own abuse prosecutor, Monsignor Charles Scicluna.
In an interview last month, Scicluna explained, "We can say that about sixty percent of the cases chiefly involved sexual attraction towards adolescents of the same sex, another thirty percent involved heterosexual relations, and the remaining ten percent were cases of pedophilia in the true sense of the term; that is, based on sexual attraction towards prepubescent children."
So, Bertone, even your own guy can distinguish between pedophilia and homosexuality. Also, it's still sexual abuse if you're doing it to adolescents, whichever gender they are. You're welcome.

If you are Chinese it means you have to pay a 400rmb entrance fee a day. unless you work in a booth for a company. I know not fair but that's the way it is. If you are not Chinese, just register and walk in all you need is your passport and a business card with your name on.
