BLUFFTON, Ohio - The Bluffton University baseball team dropped a double-header to Heartland Conference rival Rose-Hulman on Saturday, April 18, thanks to an outstanding Engineer performance at the plate. The Beavers dropped to 10-19 overall and 4-11 in the conference, while the Engineers improved to 22-11 this season and 12-6 in the HCAC.
The Beavers started off the first game on the right foot as the very first Bluffton batter, freshman outfielder Nick Broyles (Toledo/Whitmer), homered to right center. However, that was the only run the Beavers managed in the lidlifter. Rose-Hulman crushed the Beavers, 13-1, thanks to five Bluffton errors and 14 hits, compared to just six hits for Bluffton.
Rose-Hulman pounded out nine hits and 10 runs off Bluffton starter Matt Perkins (Convoy/Crestview). Perkins (2-3) walked two batters and picked up three strikeouts before freshman pitcher Kelly Barnes (Toledo/Toledo Christian) came on in the sixth. Barnes gave up three runs and five hits over the final 1.1 innings.
The Beavers once again started off the first inning with a solo home run, this time by Cody McPherson (Northwood/Millbury Lake) over the left center wall. Rose-Hulman subdued the Bluffton offense as the Engineers went on an 18-0 spurt during innings three through six, including a grand slam by Rose-Hulman slugger Tim Tepe who was 8-of-12 for the weekend.
Down 18-1 in the bottom of the seventh, freshman catcher Jaryd Kovacs (Gahanna/Westerville North) singled to third base and advanced to second on a base knock by senior outfielder Allen Slabaugh (Dalton). Aaron Koonce (Toledo/Start) then singled up the middle, giving Kovacs the green light for home.
In the eighth inning, Greg Bergstedt (Napoleon/Patrick Henry) was hit by a pitch and then advanced to second on a rip down the left line by Tyler Stephenson (Springfield/Northwestern). Bergstedt scored and Stephenson went to third thanks to a double to left center by sophomore Brett Howard (Toledo/St. Francis DeSales). Kyle Maran (Toledo/Start) sent Stephenson racing home on a single to right field. Howard capitalized on a double play and crossed the plate for the last Bluffton run of the night as the Beavers lost to Rose-Hulman, 20-5.
Both Maran and Slabaugh went 2-for-2 at the plate while the Bluffton offense collected four RBI in the third and final game of the conference series with Rose-Hulman. Tyler Stephenson and Brett Howard finished with two safeties apiece.
McPherson struggled for his second consecutive start, giving up nine runs on 10 Engineer hits while fanning three batters. Ryan Luegers (Botkins) and Ryan Nollen (Lebanon) allowed four Rose-Hulman runs each.
Bluffton returns to action on Tuesday, April 21, as the Beavers face their biggest rival, Defiance College. The conference clash is scheduled for 4 p.m. at Memorial Field.

I confess I watched CNN tonight and caught a parade of fatuous wind bags -- Ralph Reed, Billy Graham Jr., Charles Dobson -- all billowing with praise for Jerry Falwell. Even Al Sharpton made an appearance and lowered his bar another notch by saying it was impossible not to like Rev. Falwell, even if you didn't agree with all that he said. Tell that to Ellen Degeneres, who Falwell called Ellen Dengenerate, or Barney Frank, who he called a pervert. Heck, tell it to Tinky Wink of the Telletubbies.
Well, it was worth suffering through the gas fumes, if for nothing more than to see old clips of Tammy Faye and Jimmy Baker. (Who had a falling out long ago, which Tammy wishes she could have, snuffle, patched up before he checked out.)
But Timothy Noah of Slate has another take on Falwell. "He was a bigot, a reactionary, a liar, and a fool."
Go to Slate or read the article below.
Jerry Falwell's Hit Parade --The right's holy fool.
By Timothy Noah
Posted Tuesday, May 15, 2007, at 6:56 PM ET
God, they say, is love, but the Rev. Jerry Falwell, who died May 15, hit the jackpot trafficking in small-minded condemnation. The controversies Falwell generated followed a predictable loop. 1.) Falwell would say something hateful or clownish about some person or group associated with liberalism. 2.) A public outcry would ensue. 3.) Falwell would apologize and retract the offending comment. 4.) Falwell would repeat the comment, slightly rephrased.
For 20 years, evangelicals have chided the mainstream media for treating Falwell's ghastly pronouncements as news; Falwell, they often confide in private, ceased being a significant figure well before he left his signature political organization, the Moral Majority, in 1987. If so, someone forgot to tell Sen. John McCain, R.-Ariz., who as a presidential candidate in 2000 condemned Falwell's intolerance ("The political tactics of division and slander are not our values, they are corrupting influences on religion and politics, and those who practice them in the name of religion or in the name of the Republican Party or in the name of America shame our faith, our party and our country") but last year, as a presidential candidate positioning for 2008, made peace with Falwell and gave a commencement address ("We have nothing to fear from each other") to the 2006 graduating class at Falwell's Liberty University. On news of Falwell's death, McCain said in a statement, "Dr. Falwell was a man of distinguished accomplishment who devoted his life to serving his faith and country."
Nonsense. He was a bigot, a reactionary, a liar, and a fool. Herewith, a Falwell sampler.
On Sept. 11: "The abortionists have got to bear some burden for this because God will not be mocked. And when we destroy 40 million little innocent babies, we make God mad. I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People for the American Way—all of them who have tried to secularize America—I point the finger in their face and say 'you helped this happen.' "
On AIDS: "AIDS is the wrath of a just God against homosexuals."
On homosexuality: "I believe that all of us are born heterosexual, physically created with a plumbing that's heterosexual, and created with the instincts and desires that are basically, fundamentally, heterosexual. But I believe that we have the ability to experiment in every direction. Experimentation can lead to habitual practice, and then to a lifestyle. But I don't believe anyone begins a homosexual."
On Martin Luther King Jr.: "I must personally say that I do question the sincerity and non-violent intentions of some civil rights leaders such as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Mr. James Farmer, and others, who are known to have left-wing associations."
On Martin Luther King Jr., four decades later: "You know, I supported Martin Luther King Jr., who did practice civil disobedience."
On public education: "I hope I live to see the day when, as in the early days of our country, we won't have any public schools. The churches will have taken them over again, and Christians will be running them."
On the separation of church and state: "There is no separation of church and state."
On feminists: "I listen to feminists and all these radical gals. ... These women just need a man in the house. That's all they need. Most of the feminists need a man to tell them what time of day it is and to lead them home. And they blew it and they're mad at all men. Feminists hate men. They're sexist. They hate men; that's their problem."
On global warming: "I can tell you, our grandchildren will laugh at those who predicted global warming. We'll be in global cooling by then, if the Lord hasn't returned. I don't believe a moment of it. The whole thing is created to destroy America's free enterprise system and our economic stability."
On Bishop Desmond Tutu: "I think he's a phony, period, as fa On Islam: "I think Mohammed was a terrorist. I read enough of the history of his life, written by both Muslims and non-Muslims, that he was a violent man, a man of war." Rest in peace, you blowhard.

Shoppers who would prefer to finance can also get a good deal, as Ford is offering interest rates as low as 0.9 percent for 36 months or 1.9 percent for 48 months, plus up to $500 cash back. For shoppers paying in full, Ford is offering up to $2,000 back on Explorer models through the end of March.
Honda CR-V
The 2013 Honda CR-V is available with three good deals in March. Two are lease offers. Through the end of the month, shoppers looking to lease a 2013 CR-V LX can get a 36-month term with payments as low as $229 per month. While that figure requires $2,599 at lease signing, shoppers who put nothing down can get the same model for $300 per month. Drivers interested in financing a CR-V in March can also get a good deal on the compact crossover. That's because Honda is offering interest rates as low as 0.9 percent for up to 36 months or 1.9 percent for up to 60 months.
Hyundai Tucson
As it's still in high demand, there aren't many manufacturer-backed incentives on the 2013 Hyundai Tucson this month. But it is still available with a low-interest offer and a lease deal. For lease shoppers, Hyundai is offering a tempting zero-down lease on the Tucson for 36 months with payments starting at $309. For qualified shoppers looking to finance a Tucson, Hyundai is touting lease rates of just 2.9 percent for up to 60 months and 3.9 percent for 72 months.

Toyota FJ Cruiser
The 2013 Toyota FJ Cruiser offers bold styling and a powerful 4.0-liter V6. It's also capable of going nearly anywhere thanks to huge tires, a high ground clearance and generous approach and departure angles. In March, it's a good deal for lease shoppers. That's because qualified shoppers can get an FJ Cruiser for 36 months with payments starting at just $369. While that figure requires $2,999 down, it's based on a well-optioned FJ Cruiser with a $34,000 base price - not a low-level base model with few options. That means shoppers might be able to find an even better deal if they're willing to forego some luxury goodies.

Estrogens or oestrogens (see spelling differences) are a group of compounds named for their importance in both menstrual and estrous reproductive cycles. They are the primary female sex hormones. Natural estrogens are steroid hormones while some synthetic ones are non-steroidal[citation needed]. The name comes from the Greek οἶστρος (oistros), literally meaning "verve or inspiration" but figuratively sexual passion or desire,[1] and the suffix -gen, meaning "producer of".
Estrogens are synthesized in all vertebrates[2] as well as some insects.[3] Their presence in both vertebrates and insects suggests that estrogenic sex hormones have an ancient evolutionary history.
Estrogens are used as part of some oral contraceptives, in estrogen replacement therapy for postmenopausal women, and in hormone replacement therapy for trans women.
Like all steroid hormones, estrogens readily diffuse across the cell membrane. Once inside the cell, they bind to and activate estrogen receptors which in turn modulate the expression of many genes.[4] Additionally, estrogens bind to and activate rapid-signaling membrane estrogen receptors,[5][6] such as GPER (GPR30).[7]

The three major naturally occurring estrogens in women are estrone (E1), estradiol (E2), and estriol (E3). Estradiol is the predominant estrogen during reproductive years both in terms of absolute serum levels as well as in terms of estrogenic activity. During menopause, estrone is the predominant circulating estrogen and during pregnancy estriol is the predominant circulating estrogen in terms of serum levels. Though estriol is the most plentiful of the three estrogens it is also the weakest, whereas estradiol is the strongest with a potency of approximately 80 times that of estriol.[citation needed] Thus, estradiol is the most important estrogen in non-pregnant females who are between the menarche and menopause stages of life. However, during pregnancy this role shifts to estriol, and in postmenopausal women estrone becomes the primary form of estrogen in the body. Another type of estrogen called estetrol (E4) is produced only during pregnancy. All of the different forms of estrogen are synthesized from androgens, specifically testosterone and androstenedione, by the enzyme aromatase.
Premarin, a commonly prescribed estrogenic drug produced from the urine of pregnant mares, contains the steroidal estrogens equilin and equilenin. There are estradiol skin patches such as Estraderm (the original brand, introduced in the late 1980s) that offer a completely natural alternative.
A range of synthetic and natural substances have been identified that also possess estrogenic activity.[8]
- Synthetic substances of this kind are known as xenoestrogens.
- Plant products with estrogenic activity are called phytoestrogens.
- Those produced by fungi are known as mycoestrogens.
Unlike estrogens produced by mammals, these substances are not necessarily steroids.[citation needed]
Type in common reference
Although scientifically there are various estrogens, the word "estrogen" in typical general conversation is usually used in the singular (making it sound as if there were only one kind of estrogen). Such usage refers specifically to the steroidal estrogen estradiol (E2). This is analogous to how "alcohol" in general conversation refers specifically (although implicitly) to ethanol. This explains why "estrogen" is generally said to have its highest levels in females of reproductive age, which is true of estradiol (E2), as explained above, although not of all other estrogens.
Estrogens, in females, are produced primarily by the ovaries, and during pregnancy, the placenta. Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) stimulates the ovarian production of estrogens by the granulosa cells of the ovarian follicles and corpora lutea. Some estrogens are also produced in smaller amounts by other tissues such as the liver, adrenal glands, and the breasts. These secondary sources of estrogens are especially important in postmenopausal women. Fat cells produce estrogen as well.[9]
In females, synthesis of estrogens starts in theca interna cells in the ovary, by the synthesis of androstenedione from cholesterol. Androstenedione is a substance of weak androgenic activity which serves predominantly as a precursor for more potent androgens such as testosterone as well as estrogen. This compound crosses the basal membrane into the surrounding granulosa cells, where it is converted either immediately into estrone, or into testosterone and then estradiol in an additional step. The conversion of androstenedione to testosterone is catalyzed by 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (17β-HSD), whereas the conversion of androstenedione and testosterone into estrone and estradiol, respectively is catalyzed by aromatase, enzymes which are both expressed in granulosa cells. In contrast, granulosa cells lack 17α-hydroxylase and 17,20-lyase, whereas theca cells express these enzymes and 17β-HSD but lack aromatase. Hence, both granulosa and theca cells are essential for the production of estrogen in the ovaries.
Estrogen levels vary through the menstrual cycle, with levels highest near the end of the follicular phase just before ovulation.

The actions of oestrogen are mediated by the oestrogen receptor (ER), a dimeric nuclear protein that binds to DNA and controls gene expression. Like other steroid hormones, estrogen enters passively into the cell where it binds to and activates the estrogen receptor. The estrogen:ER complex binds to specific DNA sequences called a hormone response element to activate the transcription of target genes (in a study using an estrogen-dependent breast cancer cell line as model, 89 such genes were identified).[10] Since estrogen enters all cells, its actions are dependent on the presence of the ER in the cell. The ER is expressed in specific tissues including the ovary, uterus and breast. The metabolic effects of estrogen in postmenopausal women has been linked to the genetic polymorphism of the ER.[11]
While estrogens are present in both men and women, they are usually present at significantly higher levels in women of reproductive age. They promote the development of female secondary sexual characteristics, such as breasts, and are also involved in the thickening of the endometrium and other aspects of regulating the menstrual cycle. In males, estrogen regulates certain functions of the reproductive system important to the maturation of sperm[12][13][14] and may be necessary for a healthy libido.[15] Furthermore, there are several other structural changes induced by estrogen in addition to other functions.
- Structural
- Promote formation of female secondary sex characteristics
- Accelerate metabolism
- Increase fat store
- Stimulate endometrial growth
- Increase uterine growth
- Increase vaginal lubrication
- Thicken the vaginal wall
- Maintenance of vessel and skin
- Reduce bone resorption, increase bone formation
- Protein synthesis
- Increase hepatic production of binding proteins
- Coagulation
- Increase circulating level of factors 2, 7, 9, 10, plasminogen
- Decrease antithrombin III
- Increase platelet adhesiveness
- Lipid
- Increase HDL, triglyceride
- Decrease LDL, fat deposition
- Fluid balance
- Gastrointestinal tract
- Reduce bowel motility
- Increase cholesterol in bile
- Melanin
- Increase pheomelanin, reduce eumelanin
- Cancer
- Support hormone-sensitive breast cancers (see section below)
- Lung function
- Uterus lining
- Estrogen together with progesterone promotes and maintains the uterus lining in preparation for implantation of fertilized egg and maintenance of uterus function during gestation period, also upregulates oxytocin receptor in myometrium
- Ovulation
- Surge in estrogen level induces the release of luteinizing hormone, which then triggers ovulation by releasing the egg from the Graafian follicle in the ovary.
- Sexual receptivity in estrus
- Promotes sexual receptivity,[17] and induces lordosis behavior.[18] In non-human mammals, it also induces estrus (in heat) prior to ovulation, which also induces lordosis behavior. Female non-human mammals are not sexually receptive without the estrogen surge, i.e., they have no mating desire when not in estrus.
- Lordosis behavior
- Regulates the stereotypical sexual receptivity behavior; this lordosis behavior is estrogen-dependent, which is regulated by the ventromedial nucleus of the hypothalamus.[19]
- Sexual desire
- Sex drive is dependent on androgen levels[20] only in the presence of estrogen, but without estrogen, free testosterone level actually decreases sexual desire (instead of increases sex drive), as demonstrated for those women who have hypoactive sexual desire disorder, and the sexual desire in these women can be restored by administration of estrogen (using oral contraceptive).[21] In non-human mammals, mating desire is triggered by estrogen surge in estrus.
Fetal development
In rodents, estrogens (which are locally aromatized from androgens in the brain) play an important role in psychosexual differentiation, for example, by masculinizing territorial behavior;[22] the same is not true in humans.[23] In humans, the masculinizing effects of prenatal androgens on behavior (and other tissues, with the possible exception of effects on bone) appear to act exclusively through the androgen receptor.[24] Consequently, the utility of rodent models for studying human psychosexual differentiation has been questioned.[25]
Estrogen and heart disease
Women suffer less from heart disease due to vasculo-protective action of oestrogen which helps in preventing atherosclerosis.[26] It also helps in maintaining the delicate balance between fighting infections and protecting arteries from damage thus lowering the risk of cardiovascular disease.[27]
Immunological role
Oestrogen has anti-inflammatory properties and helps in mobilization of polymorphonuclear white blood cells or neutrophils.[27]
Mental health
Estrogen is considered to play a significant role in women's mental health. Sudden estrogen withdrawal, fluctuating estrogen, and periods of sustained estrogen low levels correlate with significant mood lowering. Clinical recovery from postpartum, perimenopause, and postmenopause depression has been shown to be effective after levels of estrogen were stabilized and/or restored.[28][29]
Compulsions in male lab mice, such as those in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), may be caused by low estrogen levels. When estrogen levels were raised through the increased activity of the enzyme aromatase in male lab mice, OCD rituals were dramatically decreased. Hypothalamic protein levels in the gene COMT are enhanced by increasing estrogen levels which are believed to return mice that displayed OCD rituals to normal activity. Aromatase deficiency is ultimately suspected which is involved in the synthesis of estrogen in humans and has therapeutic implications in humans having obsessive-compulsive disorder.[30]
Local application of estrogen in the rat hippocampus has been shown to inhibit the re-uptake of serotonin. Contrarily, local application of estrogen has been shown to block the ability of fluvoxamine to slow serotonin clearance, suggesting that the same pathways which are involved in SSRI efficacy may also be affected by components of local estrogen signaling pathways.[31]
Binge eating
Research suggests that estrogen may play a role in suppressing binge eating. Hormone replacement therapy using estrogen may be a possible treatment for binge eating behaviors in females. Estrogen replacement has been shown to suppress binge eating behaviors in female mice.[32] The mechanism by which estrogen replacement inhibits binge-like eating involves the replacement of serotonin (5-HT) neurons. Women exhibiting binge eating behaviors are found to have increased brain uptake of neuron 5-HT, and therefore less of the neurotransmitter serotonin in the cerebrospinal fluid.[33] Data has shown that estrogen works to activate 5-HT neurons, leading to suppression of binge like eating behaviors.[32]
It is also suggested that there is an interaction between hormone levels and eating at different points in the female menstrual cycle. Research has predicted increased emotional eating during hormonal flux, which is characterized by high progesterone and estradiol levels that occur during the mid-luteal phase. It is hypothesized that these changes occur due to brain changes across the menstrual cycle that are likely a genomic effect of hormones. These effects produce menstrual cycle changes, which result in hormone release leading to behavioral changes, notably binge and emotional eating. These occur especially prominently among women who are genetically vulnerable to binge eating phenotypes.[34]
In terms of the specific ovarian hormone changes, Edler, Lipson and Keel (2007) replicated results from animal studies that binge eating is associated with decreased estradiol and increased progesterone. Furthermore, they explain that it is important to further study ovarian hormones in binge eating as they may be an important neurobiological mechanism behind binge eating disorders.[35] Klump et al.[36] found that progesterone may moderate the effects of low estradiol (such as during dysregulated eating behavior), but that this may only be true in women who have had clinically diagnosed binge episodes (BEs). More broadly, they identified that dysregulated eating was more strongly associated with such ovarian hormones in women with BEs than in women without BEs.[36]
A study by Cao et al. (2014) demonstrated the effectiveness of hormone replacement with 17β-estradiol as well as a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and estrogen conjugate designed to target the specific receptors linked to binge-eating behaviors. The study concluded that the implantation of 17β-estradiol pellets in ovariectomized mice significantly reduced binge eating behaviors and injections of GLP-1 in ovariectomized mice decreased binge-eating behaviors by 66% compared to control groups.[32]
Research conducted by Klump et al.[37] extended previous work examining associations between binge eating and ovarian hormones in women with bulimia nervosa (Lester et al. 2003; Edler et al. 2007).[35][37][38] Data conducted by Klump et al. (2008) showed remarkable similarities to the work of both Lester et al. and Edler et al.. In all three studies, the magnitude of associations between binge eating, menstrual-cycle phase and ovarian hormones was remarkably similar. However, all participants in study 2 of Klump et al. (2008) demonstrated ovulatory cycles. Thus, unlike studies of women with BN (Edler et al. 2007), no participants were lost to analyses due to menstrual irregularities, making the work of Klump et al. (2008) the first to examine associations between changes in binge eating and ovarian hormones using a non-clinical sample.[37]
Medical applications
Oral contraceptives
Since estrogen circulating in the blood can negatively feed-back to reduce circulating levels of FSH and LH, most oral contraceptives contain a synthetic estrogen, along with a synthetic progestin. Even in men, the major hormone involved in LH feedback is estradiol, not testosterone.[citation needed]
Hormone replacement therapy
Estrogen and other hormones are given to postmenopausal women in order to prevent osteoporosis as well as treat the symptoms of menopause such as hot flushes, vaginal dryness, urinary stress incontinence, chilly sensations, dizziness, fatigue, irritability, and sweating. Fractures of the spine, wrist, and hips decrease by 50–70% and spinal bone density increases by ~5% in those women treated with estrogen within 3 years of the onset of menopause and for 5–10 years thereafter.
Before the specific dangers of conjugated equine estrogens were well understood, standard therapy was 0.625 mg/day of conjugated equine estrogens (such as Premarin). There are, however, risks associated with conjugated equine estrogen therapy. Among the older postmenopausal women studied as part of the Women's Health Initiative (WHI), an orally administered conjugated equine estrogen supplement was found to be associated with an increased risk of dangerous blood clotting. The WHI studies used one type of estrogen supplement, a high oral dose of conjugated equine estrogens (Premarin alone and with medroxyprogesterone acetate as PremPro).[39]
In a study by the NIH, esterified estrogens were not proven to pose the same risks to health as conjugated equine estrogens. Hormone replacement therapy has favorable effects on serum cholesterol levels, and when initiated immediately upon menopause may reduce the incidence of cardiovascular disease, although this hypothesis has yet to be tested in randomized trials. Estrogen appears to have a protector effect on atherosclerosis: it lowers LDL and triglycerides, it raises HDL levels and has endothelial vasodilatation properties plus an anti-inflammatory component.
Research is underway to determine if risks of estrogen supplement use are the same for all methods of delivery. In particular, estrogen applied topically may have a different spectrum of side-effects than when administered orally,[40] and transdermal estrogens do not affect clotting as they are absorbed directly into the systemic circulation, avoiding first-pass metabolism in the liver. This route of administration is thus preferred in women with a history of thrombo-embolic disease.
Estrogen is also used in the therapy of vaginal atrophy, hypoestrogenism (as a result of hypogonadism, castration, or primary ovarian failure), amenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, and oligomenorrhea. Estrogens can also be used to suppress lactation after child birth.
Breast cancer
About 80% of breast cancers, once established, rely on supplies of the hormone estrogen to grow: they are known as hormone-sensitive or hormone-receptor-positive cancers. Suppression of production of estrogen in the body is a treatment for these cancers.
Research suggests the common table mushroom has anti-aromatase[41] properties and therefore possible anti-estrogen activity. In 2009, a case-control study of the eating habits of 2,018 women in southeast China revealed that women who consumed greater than 10 grams of fresh mushrooms or greater than 4 grams of dried mushrooms per day had an approximately 50% lower incidence of breast cancer. Chinese women who consumed mushrooms and green tea had a 90% lower incidence of breast cancer.[42] However the study was relatively small (2,018 patients participating) and limited to Chinese women of southeast China.
Hormone-receptor-positive breast cancers are treated with drugs which suppress production of estrogen in the body.[43] This technique, in the context of treatment of breast cancer, is known variously as hormonal therapy, hormone therapy, or anti-estrogen therapy (not to be confused with hormone replacement therapy). Certain foods such as soy may also suppress the proliferative effects of estrogen and are used as an alternative to hormone therapy.[44]
Prostate cancer
Under certain circumstances, estrogen may also be used in males for treatment of prostate cancer.[45]
In humans and mice, estrogen promotes wound healing.[46]
At one time, estrogen was used to induce growth attenuation in tall girls.[47] Recently, estrogen-induced growth attenuation was used as part of the controversial Ashley Treatment to keep a developmentally disabled girl from growing to adult size.[48]
Most recently, estrogen has been used in experimental research as a way to treat women suffering from bulimia nervosa, in addition to cognitive behavioral therapy, which is the established standard for treatment in bulimia cases. The estrogen research hypothesizes that the disease may be linked to a hormonal imbalance in the brain.[49]
Estrogen has also been used in studies which indicate that it may be an effective drug for use in the treatment of traumatic liver injury.[50]
Health risks and warning labels
Hyperestrogenemia (elevated levels of estrogen) may be a result of exogenous administration of estrogen or estrogen-like substances, or may be a result of physiologic conditions such as pregnancy. Any of these causes is linked with an increase in the risk of thrombosis.[51]
The estrogen-alone substudy of the WHI reported an increased risk of stroke and deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in postmenopausal women 50 years of age or older and an increased risk of dementia in postmenopausal women 65 years of age or older using 0.625 mg of Premarin conjugated equine estrogens (CEE). The estrogen-plus-progestin substudy of the WHI reported an increased risk of myocardial infarction, stroke, invasive breast cancer, pulmonary emboli and DVT in postmenopausal women 50 years of age or older and an increased risk of dementia in postmenopausal women 65 years of age or older using PremPro, which is 0.625 mg of CEE with 2.5 mg of the progestin medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA).[52][53][54]
The labeling of estrogen-only products in the U.S. includes a boxed warning that unopposed estrogen (without progestogen) therapy increases the risk of endometrial cancer. Based on a review of data from the WHI, on January 8, 2003 the FDA changed the labeling of all estrogen and estrogen with progestin products for use by postmenopausal women to include a new boxed warning about cardiovascular and other risks.
Some hair shampoos on the market include estrogens and placental extracts; others contain phytoestrogens. In 1998, there were case reports of four prepubescent African-American girls developing breasts after exposure to these shampoos.[55] In 1993, the FDA determined that not all over-the-counter topically applied hormone-containing drug products for human use are generally recognized as safe and effective and are misbranded. An accompanying proposed rule deals with cosmetics, concluding that any use of natural estrogens in a cosmetic product makes the product an unapproved new drug and that any cosmetic using the term "hormone" in the text of its labeling or in its ingredient statement makes an implied drug claim, subjecting such a product to regulatory action.[56]
In addition to being considered misbranded drugs, products claiming to contain placental extract may also be deemed to be misbranded cosmetics if the extract has been prepared from placentas from which the hormones and other biologically active substances have been removed and the extracted substance consists principally of protein. The FDA recommends that this substance be identified by a name other than "placental extract" and describing its composition more accurately because consumers associate the name "placental extract" with a therapeutic use of some biological activity.[56]
In 1929 Adolf Butenandt and Edward Adelbert Doisy independently isolated and determined the structure of estrogen.[57] Thereafter, the pace of hormonal drug research accelerated.
The "first orally effective estrogen", Emmenin, derived from the late-pregnancy urine of Canadian women, was introduced in 1930 by Collip and Ayerst Laboratories. Estrogens are not water-soluble and cannot be given orally, but the urine was found to contain estriol glucuronide which is water soluble and becomes active in the body after hydrolysis.
Scientists continued to search for new sources of estrogen because of concerns associated with the practicality of introducing the drug into the market. At the same time, a German pharmaceutical drug company, formulated a similar product as Emmenin that was introduced to German women to treat menopausal symptoms.
In 1938, British scientists obtained a patent on a newly formulated nonsteroidal estrogen, diethylstilbestrol (DES), that was cheaper and more powerful than the previously manufactured estrogens. Soon after, concerns over the side effects of DES were raised in scientific journals while the drug manufacturers came together to lobby for governmental approval of DES. It was only until 1941 when estrogen therapy was finally approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of menopausal symptoms.[58]
Environmental effects
Estrogens are among the wide range of endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs) because they have high estrogenic potency. When an EDC makes its way into the environment, it may cause male reproductive dysfunction to wildlife.[59] The estrogen excreted from farm animals makes its way into fresh water systems.[60] During the germination period of reproduction the fish are exposed to low levels of estrogen which may cause reproductive dysfunction to male fish.[61][62]

Stocks ended off session lows but the Dow still finished in negative territory Wednesday, as investors took a pause amid a lack of significant market catalysts and after the S&P briefly hit its highest level since December 2007.
(Read More: After-Hours Buzz:CSCO, AAPL, WFM & More )
"The S&P 500's advance may be in need of a rest, but not to RIP, in our opinion," wrote Sam Stovall, chief equity strategist at S&P Capital IQ. "Despite ongoing political uncertainties and not-too-distant resistance levels, market multiples appear either fairly valued or modestly attractive to us. In addition, companies are increasingly interested in raising internal investments."

Sigs are easy. You go into your profile and check the option that allows you to turn them off so that you don't have to look at that garish shit that people seem to think is clever.

Yeah, I always blocked sigs on the old software too, but I wanted to add the Jude swears to vote for Obama thing to mine for the first time and then go ahead and block them. But I was even blocking sigs in my own profile at first, long boring story.

I knew nothing about this going into it and obviously it's right in the middle of a story which is always hard to review but I will say this. I'm going to end up getting the trades because what I read interested the hell out of me. It was easy to pick up and figure out and the art was great. Nothing about this I didn't enjoy. What I would like to know is why while I'm typing this my words go from red to black and then back to red again. What the hell is going on around here?!

by thefourthman » Mon Aug 30, 2010 6:07 pmJust read four. I liked it a lot. There are some problems with it as a series, LG seems a little uneven as a character, but this issue was full of moments that may have been just a little genre cliche, but worked because they have made Garrison into a completely unreliable, impulse oriented guy instead of a cold calculating machine, which interesting given the sheer number of dopplegangers.
by thefourthman » Tue Aug 31, 2010 12:20 amGarrison #5
What a very strange book.
Having read all five issues, this is one of the most uneven books I have ever read.
What's really a shame, is that there is almost nothing worse than when a book goes exactly where you think it is going and instead of you being like hell yeah, you roll your eyes and go, whatever. That's the last two pages in a nutshell.
The opening pages are okay, with whats her name showing up on Lester as he is pulling the switch back into his clothes after stealing a guard's clothes last episode. Straight out of Star Wars, except it is a heck of a lot easier when you look like the storm trooper you are replacing. But then this is just the origin of Jango Fett and the clone troopers except set now instead of in a galaxy far far away.
But then there is the plane sequence, which stinks of a Harrison Ford Anne Heche movie, but works inspite of itself. You can even imagine Garrison being played by a Raiders of the Lost Ark era Ford.
Then there is the art. Francavilla is a great artist. He really is. Check out Zorro or Black Coat. They are great looking books. That shines through in some of the quieter moments here, but the rest feel and look horribly rushed. It is like he had a hard time keeping a deadline and his attention span.
This is the kind of book that deserves a middle of the road score. It is a neat enough concept and story and when it works it works, but when it doesn't it doesn't.

The following is not based on sourcing or reporting and is not likely to happen, alright? The following is merely fanciful speculation so let's get that out of the way before anyone spits up breakfast or the folks at rotoworld report this as fact. (By the way, rotoworld guys, I'm not the Dolphins beat writer. I'm a columnist at The Miami Herald so please get that correct from now on.)
This much is certain and true: Oklahoma State wide receiver Dez Bryant was in New England visiting the Patriots Thursday, according to the Boston Globe, Boston Herald, National Football Post, NESN.com, and probably even the dudes at rotoworld.
The Patriots have a situation at wide receiver because they lack a legitimate No. 3 even as their No. 2, Wes Welker, is recovering from a shredded knee and torn rotator cuff. The knee injury happened the final game of the 2009 regular season so the chances Welker will be his usual 100-catch self by the start of the 2010 season seems unlikely.
So the Pats have receiver issues.
And that's big because Tom Brady requires weapons and right now Randy Moss is the only healthy receiver on the roster that gives opposing defenses pause. Now, it says right here that perhaps the Patriots were working the Bryant visit as one of their evil empire devices. But maybe, just maybe, they have a serious interest in Bryant.
If that interest is serious, is it so far-fetched that New England might be willing to trade up to pick Dez Bryant? And what better place to trade up to than perhaps the No. 12 spot in the draft which is currently owned by ... the Miami Dolphins.
It is possible the Dolphins fancy Bryant because he is the best receiver in the draft and they need an upgrade at wide receiver. But it is also possible the Dolphins have no intention of picking Bryant because, regardless of his talent on the field, his stock has been in free-fall mode because he was late to something or other a couple of times.
Seriously, Bryant is the draft's best receiver. Anyone that doesn't see that is blind. And yet, despite never being arrested, he is reportedly falling because of maturity issues and a nightmarish background.
So perhaps the receiver-hungry Dolphins get a chance to pick Bryant. But perhaps the ever-conservative Dolphins don't really want to exercise that opportunity.
If the Patriots want Bryant, well then, come and get him!
Back up a second ... even if the Dolphins like Bryant and would pick him, they should still consider trading the pick if Bryant is there at No. 12 because, let's face it, Bryant isn't going to resolve all their problems. But perhaps the Dolphins can use a chance to pick Bryant as a chip to dangle before the Patriots for one of their three second-round picks.
The Dolphins could give New England the No. 12 overall selection in exchange for moving to New England's No. 22 overall selection and picking up a second rounder -- the Pats own Nos. 44 overall, 47 overall, and 53 overall.
That would give the Dolphins three picks in the first two rounds, which means three possible starters on a team that needs starters at wide receiver, free safety, nose tackle and outside linebacker.
Works for me.
This trade value chart, which assigns a point value for every slot in the draft, says an even trade of this magnitude would require the Patriots to give up their 47th overall selection or the second-highest of their three second-rounders.
That would give the Dolphins Nos. 22, 43 and 47 overall.
Is that a superior or inferior standing than having No. 12 and No. 43 overall?
Granted, this scenario would give the Patriots the best wide receiver in the draft. But it would give the Dolphins the ability to pick up three starters.
Yes haters, I recognize the two clubs are in the same division.
The Washington Redskins and Philadelphia Eagles are also in the same division and they just completed a trade. The Pats and Fins were in the same division in 2007 and completed a trade for Welker.
The question here, in this speculative scenario, is would you give up the opportunity to draft Dez Bryant in exchange for New England's pick toward the bottom of the first round and an additional second rounder?
I believe after mulling it a good 10 or 15 seconds, yes, I'd do it.

Usually Linpack numbers are provided by manufacturers which run them "in house" on a reference system (once and forever). As each cluster tends to be so unique, every site would need to run Linpack themselves multiplying the effort. That is the reason why we started to collect data for a seperate "top cluster list" WITHOUT any benchmark data. See http://www.topclusters.org Even without benchamrk data, such a DB could be of interest and use for the community. The benchmark data will be filled in as we go.
