Biolex Therapeutics Presents Results Highlighting Benefits Of Locteron(TM) At 'Breakthroughs In Hepatitis' Session
Published: Feb 15, 2006
PITTSBORO, N.C., Feb. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Biolex Therapeutics announced today that its lead candidate Locteron was featured at the "Breakthroughs in Hepatitis" session at the BIO CEO & Investor Conference yesterday in New York. Mr. Jan Turek, President and CEO of Biolex, presented preclinical and clinical results at the session highlighting the best-in-class tolerability and convenience benefits of Locteron. Locteron is a next-generation controlled- release form of alfa interferon for the treatment of hepatitis C being co- developed with OctoPlus. Mr. Turek also announced that the full results from a recently completed Phase 1 clinical study of Locteron will be presented at the 41st Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of Liver Disease (EASL) meeting April 26-30, 2006 in Vienna, Austria.
More than four million people in the United States, and more than 200 million people worldwide, are currently infected with hepatitis C. Recent forecasts suggest that total sales of therapeutics for the treatment of hepatitis C will exceed $10 billion in the year 2014, and that sales of interferon products will represent more than $5 billion of this total. The currently available pegylated alfa interferon products require administration once per week for up to 48 weeks and are associated with substantial side effects, particularly during the period following each administration.
Locteron combines BLX-883, a recombinant alfa interferon produced by Biolex in its patented LEX System(TM), with PolyActive(TM), an advanced controlled-release drug delivery technology developed by OctoPlus. In contrast to the currently available interferon products, preclinical studies demonstrated that Locteron has linear release characteristics after injection without the high peak plasma levels that have the potential to increase side effects and without the low trough plasma levels that may impair efficacy. Locteron is intended to be administered only once every two weeks as compared to the once-a-week administration of the currently licensed pegylated interferon products.
Locteron is an investigational therapeutic candidate and has not been approved for sale by the United States Food and Drug Administration or by any international regulatory agency.

It's not a "HOLIDAY" freakin party! They're not friggin "HOLIDAY" presents. It's Christmas! I'm offended.
I'm offended that I have to share December with a holiday devoted to rampant consumerism. I'm offended at the excess and conspicuous consumption. I am not Christian but If I were I would be deeply offended by the distortion of Jesus's message of helping your fellow man into max your credit card and buy your self stuff. I have an idea for all the offended Marry Christmas people; Take the money that you were going to spend on junk made in china and help the poor or homeless or do something that Jesus might have done. Go to your 2000 person mega church and ask the pastor to convert the place to housing for the homeless. Your actions make you good it is not enough to pray and chat with god. Your @$$ has to do some good works from time to time.
* Signal the wacky left- wing atheist agenda siren *
grow up everyone does not do christmas
no its about political correctness which is correct
It is a holiday. Christmas is a Christian holiday taken from the pagans. And more than just your selfish bunch celebrate a holiday at the same time. Get over your self! Grow the **** up you self absorbed Puritan.
the date was taken from the pagans not the Holiday and i dont think thats the best way to get a point across.
You're right it's not but hey i am severely annoyed with people like that.
And you need to allow others to have their holiday. Christmas is a holiday after all. So is Easter.
listen im a pretty big God fearing Gun toting Republican Redneck when it comes to most things but i even find this a little silly.
Im not being silly. I'm being serious. But good for you for being who you are.
Well said, Axis.
no im talking to the other person lol
Oh. Sorry.
Merry Christmas!!! And I mean it!
people are killed in some countries for celebrating Christmas. i think we can live with being politicaly correct ( even if i dont agree with it )
well its not like the word Christmas has been stricken from all things. you can call it whatever you like.and its called (holidays ) because you know theres more than 1 religious holiday during the winter right? its called happy holidays to be all inclusive. Christmas is just one of those many holidays so really there not offending anybody. no offense but its a little ignorant to assume Happy Holidays was a reference to Christmas
thats because 50 years ago companies figured out you could save money by marketing every holiday in one big cluster than individually. and last i checked no ones taking away Christmas you just dont see it on billboards or hear it on the radio. you want it to be all about YOU and YOUR holiday. and actually as a christian i wouldn't even want Christmas to be associated with the corporate mess its become. unless its something religious you should actually be appalled to see a Merry CHRISTmas anywhere
move to iran
Thanks for sharing.
Happy Moosemas! :-D

As well as being a professional reviewer at SPR, I am also one of Amazon's Top 1000 reviewers (no, you can't have my moniker, sorry!) and I sometimes review books for free, depending on how I am approached. I am not one of the Vine or Top 100, so bear this in mind while I give you my perspective on how it feels to receive a request from an author to review – and imagine how in demand they must be if I am getting so many requests in the Top 1000.
Why so many review request suddenly? It's because there are many indie author forums and new tricks being shared that insist that a great way of getting Amazon Customer Reviews is scouring the Top Reviewers List and emailing us. Well, meh. Not really.
Out of every 500 requests I get, which sometimes swamp my inbox, I would say I review one or two books. Imagine how many requests more dedicated reviewers must be getting – not that easy to break through. So in case it helps,
Here are 5 reasons why I don't review a book when I get a request:
1.Rudeness: If someone writes, "Review my book" or "Here's my book – review pls" (two titles in my box this morning) I don't even open the email. Rude… I don't take kindly to being ordered to review for free! This has to be a two-way street. I'm getting a free book and a good read out of this, right? So sell your book. "Exciting Russian Thriller – Free Book – Amazon" is more likely to make me take a look, and convince me you care about your work. Honestly, I think some authors think I get paid by Amazon or something, and I'm one of many free services. Nope.
2. You bcc me/add me to your mailing list: If I see I am in a mailout to the Top 1000 reviewers in a list, or worse, my email has been sneakily added to an author's mailing list, I won't review the book, and I will instantly unsubscribe. I want to know my time is worthwhile here. Use the reviewer's name, and say why you want the reviewer to take a look. " Dear booklove123, I saw your review of "Russian Thriller" and I thought you might enjoy "My Russian Thriller." If I get the impression you don't care that much who reviews your book, and you are just throwing it at the wall to see what sticks, I won't care either.
3. If you send me a book without asking: Ask me first if I would like to review your book. Then wait for my reply. More time-consuming, but it will make me more favorable to you as you have approached me with some etiquette. I may even review a few of your books without being asked to. It's been known to happen.
4. I don't review your genre. Sending me an erotica is going to go nowhere. I review literary, non-fiction, and sci-fi. Others only review erotica and romance. It's very important to a reviewer now on Amazon not to have too many weird genre mixes on their review slate for algorithm reasons. I would have no idea if an erotica is good or bad. So find your tribe!
5. Authors don't make it easy for me: Send me the link to review your book on Amazon! So many authors forget to include this in their request! To add a link:
- Log out of Amazon
- Go to your book page
- Click "Write a customer review"
- You will be taken to Amazon's login screen. Copy this link.
- Share this link as the link to leave a review. When I log in I get taken straight to the review box of your book!

High Commission of the Republic of Fiji – New Delhi, India
Welcome to the Fijian High Commission in New Delhi, Fiji's home in South Asia. The High Commission is the resident Mission to the Republic of India, and is accredited also to the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Maldives, Nepal and Sri Lanka.
Fiji's links with India go back to colonial times, and the British indenture system which brought thousands of Indians to Fiji. They have since 1869 called Fiji home, and have contributed to making Fiji the multicultural hub of the Pacific that it is today. Fiji's relations with India are therefore of enormous significance.
Fiji's beaches, its sugar industry, its love of music, tropical flora and fauna, and our friendly nature is mirrored in India and other countries of the Mission's accreditation. The Indian ethos of "Athiti Devo Bhava" is reflected in the welcoming nature and culture of Fiji and all Fijians. We therefore have much in common to share with one another.
In recent years, the strong bilateral people-people, cultural and religious links between our countries have been bolstered by increasingly strong bilateral government relations. Prime Minister Narendra Modi of the Republic of India visited Fiji in his first year in office in 2014, and this visit was reciprocated by Prime Minister Bainimarama in 2015. Together, the visits have provided a large boost to bilateral relations, and I look forward to working to promote the vision of our two nation's leaders to mutual benefit.
The Mission's other accreditations are also of global significance to Fiji, ranging from our fellow Small Island Developing State of Maldives, traditional and long standing bilateral partners such as Sri Lanka, new bilateral partners such as Bhutan with which Fiji established bilateral relations only in 2012, and finally partners with which we have worked very closely in multilateral forums and groups such as the G77, including Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Nepal, with which Fiji seeks to develop much closer bilateral ties.

Our journey to Australia began when landing at Melbourne's Tullamarine airport. Tullamarine is Melbourne's main domestic and only international airport. Not to be confused with Avalon airport which is further to the west of city on the way to Geelong. Many international airlines fly into Melbourne, including national carrier Qantas, Emirates and Etihad.
Getting off the plane after such a long journey is always welcome and we were greeted with a queue at passport control. Our passport officer was officious but welcoming and upon passing back our passports, said 'Welcome to Australia'. It's our first time in Australia and it was nice to get an official welcome. After a 20 minute delay our bags arrived, we cleared customs and was on our Australian adventure.
Whilst our bodies thought it was still the middle of the night, the sunshine was bright and the temperature wonderful, much nicer than the cold european winter we left behind.
We exited the arrivals hall and went to the bus rendezvous point. We had booked ahead of time with Melbourne Bus and Coach and were greeted by our driver Dave. Dave helped us all load our luggage onto the vehicle. We've had bad experiences before in not being able to get a taxi, so booking a bus in advance to meet us at the airport was a great idea.
We were treated to one of the most iconic Australian songs on the way into the Melbourne CBD. I'm pleased to say the bus was in a lot better condition than this video
Upon arriving in Melbourne we visited the main tourist information office in Federation Square, the staff were very knowledgable and we are now armed with loads of interesting information of what to see and do.

Facebook has introduced graph search and while it will not be launched publically today, you can join the beta testing group to be one of the first to try it. The search feature in Facebook has been a hidden gem for some time, while most news and media outlets talk about it as something that was only used to find people or a page, digital marketers have been using it to find public info on just about anything for a few years now.
If you're a travel agent, you can go ahead enter the keyword "travel", "vacation" or even say "Hawaii" then make you way down the left column and click "public". That will reveal anyone talking about any of those keywords, and while that's far from a hot list, its always been a great lead generator for downtime, after all a public post "I need a vacation" or "I am planning a trip to Hawaii" could be a great lead for a travel agent. The same could be true for real estate, wedding planning and so on…
The graph search is really an extension on what Facebook search can already do and provide you, just refined so that it's nice and pretty. Graph Search's functions will be limited to start, only focusing on four main areas: people, photos, places, and interests. The search will also not be in the mobile version or pull from instagram.
The emphasis for business is going to be on "Likes" and "Check In" as the social endorsement age will be in full swing with Facebook Graph Searches, after all if you wanted good Italian food in Michigan, you might search for "Italian restaurants in Michigan liked by my friends from New York" and the results will pull in practical information as well, such as reviews and prices.
With privacy being a major concern Zuckerberg explained that "It was a really hard technical problem to index all of these 1 trillion connections" while maintaining individual privacy for users, but Facebook made sure that "every piece of content" searchable with the new service has its own audience and can only be searched if it has been shared with a user.
The Major difference?
"Graph Search is designed to show you the answer and not links to answers," said Zuckerberg.

Remember that, this method will only work if you already leave your admin password field blank when installing windows operation system.

Windows 2000 password login
Just prepare your Windows 2000 bootable installation CD and be ready to repair process. Put your disk in to CD Rom drive and restart your computer. Now press any key on your keyboard when it asks for Press any key to boot from CD. Then wait some minutes until setup loads all necessary windows setup files to the system memory. Now setup will ask you what you want to do. Now click R and select your previous windows xp installation path. Now simply begin your repair process and setup will start copying files into your hard disk. Now wait a little while thinking about your forgotten passwords and personal data. Don't worry! They will come again. After completing the copying process, it will reboot your computer within 15 seconds. Now your PC will restart and again ask for "Press any key to boot from CD". Please avoid hitting on any key again. Just stay normal to begin windows 2000 repair process. Now we enter to the most important part of windows 2000 password resetting task. Now setup will begin to repair your computer and keep your eyes always on small progress bar. If you see "Installing Drivers", immediately press both Shift and F10 keys same time. This is a huge security hole in windows 2000. Many people don't know about this risk. Now a command prompt window will appear on your screen. However, now you'll be able to access to your administrator account directly. Simply type"nusrmgr.cpl" (without quotes) and hit enter. Wow! You just accessed to the graphical style User Accounts window in control panel. Simply create a new user account with administrator privileges. Now exit from both control panel and command prompt and continue with your windows 2000 repairing process. After completely repairing your previous windows 2000 installation, you can login to your newly created Administrator account and change or reset your existing windows login password. This trick will work only with Windows 2000 home, professional, pro, media center editions, SP1, SP2 and SP3. I think your Windows version is a one of above windows editions.
Now I have explained you 3real methods to reset and recover your forgotten windows login passwords. You can also use 2th and 3th ways to bypass non windows passwords like Mac, Linux and Ubuntu. If you have any problem suggestions about my windows 2000 password hub, Please leave a comment. I'll update my hub when I found something new about recovering your forgotten administrator passwords. So, let's reset our computer password without any delays.

Cancer 'cure' ended in death
Kelso case a reminder to be cautious with alternative treatments
Updated 10:00 pm, Sunday, May 13, 2001
KELSO -- Edward Steward came a long way to find a cure.
Cancer was eating away at Steward last summer when he arrived from New Orleans and made his way to an isolated country house above the Columbia River. He hoped to save his life with a "magic" concoction its promoters say was born of science and Native American legend.
Instead, investigators say it killed him.
First his kidneys, then his heart failed in the hours the mineral compound coursed through his veins.
Months after friends and family laid Steward to rest in a Metairie, La., cemetery, prosecutors moved against Joyce Brown, the nurse who hooked him up to an IV to administer a cancer therapy the government has not approved. Brown, who lacked a nursing license at the time, continued to give Steward the compound even after he complained of chest pains and chills, then had to be urged by his wife to try to revive him, according to investigative reports.
Brown, 52, faces a charge of first-degree manslaughter and a trial in July. She has pleaded not guilty. Neither Brown nor her attorney would discuss the case.

The trial will be one of the few times that an alternative cancer therapy gone bad will be the focus of a criminal case.
Alternative cancer therapies exist by the hundreds. Every day, sick people cross the Mexican border to Juarez or Tijuana for a treatment the U.S. Food and Drug Administration won't allow them to have at home.
The world of alternative cancer therapy can be murky, operating on rumors and making claims that science hasn't proved. But it offers the promise of hope and life to people who see both slipping away.
"Near the end of life, when there's not much treatment left that can give a person a chance at survival, patients want something that will provide hope," said Terri Ades, an official with the American Cancer Society and editor of its new book on alternative and complementary therapies.
Steward, 52, needed hope. He had been a cop in New Orleans and with the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office, according to his widow.
He also fought cancer. It hit his colon, then his liver. Surgeons cut away at his colon in October 1999.
Hoping for a miracle, he and his wife, Stephanie, flew to the Northwest -- and Brown.
Stephanie Steward wouldn't agree to an interview, worried about hurting the criminal case. But she did say that it was word of mouth that led her and her husband to Brown.
That's typical for alternative cancer therapy, Ades said. Someone's cousin has heard about an unusual cure at work. An old classmate says he has survived a brush with death thanks to a treatment your doctor doesn't know about.
Medicine man's son
Steward grasped an obscure treatment called MICOM, or O2 MYGA III outside the United States.
MICOM creator Bob Simpson has unique credentials. He says he's a molecular physicist and the son of an Indian medicine man.
"The spirit of his ancestors began to influence his life and led him to the discovery of the magic water known as Sundance Natchez Mineral Water," the company's promotional materials say.
In the mid-'90s, he began manufacturing a mineral water that has the same properties as the water that gushed up from a spring that bubbled up from some rocks near where he grew up in North Texas. His father, a Natchez Tribe medicine man, told his son about the "magic water" that was supposed to be a fountain of youth. Simpson's company says he discovered the water while researching his family tree.
Simpson said in a recent interview that he combines the "right kind of igneous rock," iron pyrite (commonly known as fool's gold), weak acids and bases to form a liquid.
He swears by the stuff. He's convinced it limited the damage he suffered from a recent stroke. And he believes it kept his wife, who doctors suspected had uterine cancer, from developing the disease.
Several years ago, Simpson met Reynaldo Maldonado, a Mexican inventor of medical devices. A partnership of sorts was formed to broaden the mineral compound's distribution. That partnership has since unraveled.
Maldonado has stopped distributing the product. Simpson has stopped as well to wait out scientific tests on the product. A San Diego company that has run cancer clinics in Mexico intends to investigate the product for possible use, Simpson's lawyer said.
The halt in the distribution has nothing to do with Steward's death, the lawyer said.
With Maldonado's help, clinics in Mexico began using MICOM as an IV cancer treatment. Doctors in China have also begun to use it that way, Simpson and Maldonado say.
In the United States, Simpson's water sells for $500 a gallon. Users are encouraged to drink small amounts, along with lots of regular water.
"We are not allowed to say it's a cure. But we are allowed to say it's a mineral supplement," Simpson said by telephone from his home near Bakersfield, Calif.
But Simpson's Web page does discuss the supposed health benefits, down to directions on how much of the compound cancer patients should drink a day and reports from patients.
"There appear to be only two outcomes for cancer victims ... -- either the cancer went into remission by ceasing to grow, shrinking in size or disappearing entirely; or the victim's organs were already too seriously damaged by the cancer or by previous treatments and they died of organ failure," the company states. "In no case did the cancer continue to grow."
The problem, health experts point out, is that reports of people taking the alternative therapy and getting better aren't proof. They can't separate the traditional treatment they have received. And some cancers simply go into remission.
Federal law treats dietary supplements differently from drugs. The supplements can make health claims, then include disclaimers, said Susan Hutchcroft, a spokeswoman for the FDA in the Seattle area.
The Simpson Web site stays in the good graces of federal regulators by noting: "These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. Therefore it is not implied that this product is intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease"
Healing theory 'nonsense'
Simpson said he can't explain just how his mineral water helps cancer patients. "We don't know. We do know that tumors start to shrink," he said.
But his company's Web site offers the theory: MICOM helps to push the oxygen level of the cells above normal limits, making a lethal environment for cancer. At the same time, MICOM helps the body tag cancer cells so antibodies can target and destroy them.
Despite its claims, MICOM remains largely unknown.
The cancer society's new book includes hundreds of alternative therapies, but not MICOM, Ades said.
Stephen Barrett, who spends his days evaluating claims made by alternative health therapies, has received few inquiries about it at his Web site, quackwatch.com.
Barrett looked at MICOM's claims and rejected them last year. He said the cells' oxygen levels could not be increased as much as claimed, and the notion that low-oxygen levels contribute to cancer has been discredited. The immune system can't recognize cancer cells, so to say the mineral product could change that "is nonsense," Barrett concluded.
Barrett is not a cancer specialist, but a retired psychiatrist.
His efforts to discount MICOM as a cancer cure, however, didn't stop the product in its tracks.
Eight thousand people have bought Simpson's mineral water in the past two years.
In Mexico, intravenous MICOM is available in some clinics. But Simpson said he has never sold IV kits and doesn't recommend taking the substance intravenously.
Maldonado distributed the IV kits for more than a year, but he said he urged only doctors to use them. "We do not bend the law. We do not break the law."
Federal law does not allow drugs not approved by the FDA to be imported to the United States. However, the FDA has a policy of not enforcing the law when it comes to individual citizens bringing limited quantities of unapproved drugs for their own use. The agency does not allow unapproved drugs to be imported into the country for sale.
In the Steward case, the IV bags in question went from Juarez, Mexico, to a distributor near Roseburg, Ore., then to Brown, said Detective Mark Nelson of the Cowlitz County Sheriff's Office.
The trail stopped at Brown's home south of Kelso.
It's an unlikely setting for people seeking a miracle cure. Dogs slumber on the roads. Sheep graze in a field next to Brown's long gravel driveway. A tiny teddy bear wearing a Santa's hat is affixed to Brown's mailbox.
The former registered nurse ran a business called "Nature's Friend" out of her home, offering vitamins, herbal remedies -- and MICOM.
The Washington Nursing Care Quality Assurance Commission identified eight people to whom Brown sold the mineral compound from April to September 2000 as a treatment for cancer and other diseases. At least seven got IV treatments, paying several thousand dollars apiece, Nelson said. A 500-milliliter bag was being sold to distributors for $375.
Patients sat down on a recliner and Brown hooked them up, Nelson said.
She did it all without a license.
Brown was licensed as a nurse in Washington in 1984, but allowed that license to expire in April 1999, according to the commission. She didn't renew her license until September 2000 -- a month after Steward died.
Second patient near death
Edward and Stephanie Steward arrived at Brown's home on Aug. 8. Edward Steward was dehydrated and bleeding from his gums and penis, according to the nursing commission's statement of charges against Brown.
Brown ordered an unlicensed assistant to begin Steward on a water rectal drip. But the commission noted that such a drip wouldn't have worked on Steward, whose colon had been surgically removed a year earlier. Then Brown hooked the patient up to an IV filled with MICOM.
Steward complained of chills, chest pains and a burning sensation, according to the nursing commission. He also had an increased temperature, difficulty breathing and decreased blood pressure.
More than five hours after the IV began, Brown determined that Steward's heart had stopped and that he wasn't breathing. She told Stephanie Steward that her husband had died and "recommended that emergency assistance not be contacted because there probably was nothing that could be done, it would be too expensive, and it might lead to a police investigation," the commission said.
Brown didn't attempt CPR on Steward until his wife insisted. Then Brown called 911 and stopped CPR. Medics rushed Steward to St. John Medical Center in Longview.
The same day, Brown administered MICOM to a second patient. Suffering from brain cancer, he had been told he had only six weeks to live. She had him on an IV nearly two hours before Steward.
The first patient complained of lower-back pain after getting MICOM, collapsed when he tried to walk after the treatment ended and was apparently unconscious for three minutes. He went into another room in Brown's home and fell into a deep sleep, according to the commission.
The paramedics who hauled Steward away didn't know a second man in the house was near death.
"She never said a word about the other guy," said Nelson, the detective. A nursing commission document identified the second man only by his initials.
Brown left him with her assistant and followed the paramedics to St. John Medical Center. Later that night, she drove the second patient to Adventist Medical Center more than 40 miles away in Portland, Nelson said. By the time the man got there, he was "unresponsive with no audible air movement," according to the nursing commission.
Doctors there diagnosed him with an infection, pneumonia and kidney failure. He was on a ventilator for several days in critical condition, and spent 10 days in the hospital before being released.
Following Steward's death, Cowlitz County sheriff's deputies asked Brown to stop treating people with MICOM, and she complied, authorities said.
'Filtered through rags'
The investigation from then on was anything but simple. Investigators had to reconstruct what took place in Brown's home and find out all they could about MICOM.
"This wasn't 'somebody died, let's charge her,'" said Cowlitz County Prosecutor Sue Bauer. "This took a lot of thought."
The medical investigation got a break: the brain-cancer patient at the Portland hospital. He suffered many of the same symptoms as Steward, said Dr. Clifford Nelson, deputy state medical examiner in Oregon. Studying both men would help him figure out what happened to Steward.
Tests concluded that the MICOM put in their bloodstream was contaminated by bacteria. "This was stuff that was being filtered through rags and put in bottles, then shipped up here," Nelson said.
The compound caused Steward's kidneys to fail, causing fluid to build up in his body. That brought about congestive heart failure and death, the medical examiner said.
In April, Bauer charged Brown with manslaughter for recklessly causing Steward's death. The same month, the nursing commission suspended her license.
Simpson bristled at the suggestion that MICOM can be deadly.
"There's nothing there to be toxic," Simpson said. "We don't know anyone who has gone into stress taking it orally."
From Mexico, Maldonado sounded equally perplexed, saying the solution is sterile and safe if administered in a hospital or clinic to a stable patient. "There's no way that MICOM can kill a patient. It's impossible.
"We can't help it if someone takes it upon herself to play God."

The social awareness and acceptance of transgender individuals has increased dramatically in the past several years. Todd B. Nippoldt, M.D., a consultant in Endocrinology, Diabetes, Metabolism and Nutrition, at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, says: "The transgender population continues to face major challenges in accessing and obtaining appropriate health care. A disproportionate number of transgender people are uninsured, and 19 percent have been denied care by health care providers. Most health care providers have had little or no formal training in addressing the needs of these patients, which can contribute to the minority stress that members of the transgender community may develop through stigmatization, avoidance, discrimination and prejudice.
"In addition, Lambda Legal reports that 70 percent of transgender individuals have suffered some form of maltreatment at the hands of medical providers, including harassment and violence. Suicide attempts among transgender individuals are extraordinarily high at approximately 25 to 43 percent. The prevalence increases in those who have had a negative experience with a health care professional."
The Mayo Clinic Transgender and Intersex Specialty Care Clinic (TISCC) was developed to provide for the mental health, hormonal and surgical needs of transgender patients and those with differences of sexual development (DSD), or intersex. DSD may include discrepancies among sex chromosomes, genitalia, reproductive duct development and gonadal development. DSD may also be referred to as intersex. A variety of underlying conditions can cause DSD, including congenital adrenal hyperplasia, androgen resistance syndrome and many others.
Relationships among sex and gender
Caroline J. Davidge-Pitts, M.B., Ch.B., Endocrinology, Diabetes, Metabolism and Nutrition at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, explains: "Gender identity can be defined as one's internal sense of being male, female, neither or both. A transgender or gender-nonconforming person has a gender identity that does not conform to sex (chromosomal or anatomical) assigned at birth. Gender identity is quite different from sexual orientation, which includes the gender(s) a person is emotionally or physically attracted to, or both. Being transgender indicates diversity and not pathology.
"The clinical distress that may accompany being transgender (gender dysphoria) is what needs to be evaluated and treated by health professionals. Gender dysphoria may arise as a result of internal conflict associated with incongruence between gender identity and sex assigned at birth. Other contributors include work, school, home and social environments (including issues related to discrimination, relationship abuse and minority stress), and social support from family, peers and friends. The interventions to relieve gender dysphoria are unique for every person. For some, dressing in congruence with their gender identities is enough. For others, hormonal treatment and gender confirmation surgery is necessary."
Patients seen in the Mayo Clinic TISCC are initially evaluated by an endocrinologist and a mental health provider.
All patients with suspected gender dysphoria will require evaluation by a trained mental health professional to establish the diagnosis, assess comorbid psychiatric diagnoses and evaluate social support structures.
The evaluation may include a psychologist, psychiatrist or licensed independent clinical social worker. Patients with gender dysphoria may have coexisting mental health conditions, such as autism spectrum disorder, body dysmorphic disorder or eating disorders, which should be treated with standard psychological therapy and other appropriate interventions.
Dr. Nippoldt outlines: "The individual's needs and desires are identified during initial visits and a plan is formulated. Depending on the patient's needs, referral to surgical or other specialties can occur, specifically including voice therapy; preventive gynecology care for transgender men; mental health counseling for patients, their families or both; and assistance with school, social and legal issues.
"In addition to the care provided in the TISCC, we are striving to provide competent and sensitive care for transgender and intersex patients at all Mayo Clinic campuses. Efforts include sensitivity training for staff, finding an electronic record and intake form solution for gender declaration, and providing a safe and welcoming environment, such as unisex restroom options, in all areas at Mayo Clinic.
"To date, we are caring for over 100 unique patients. Fifty-seven percent are local to Olmsted County, 22 percent are regional, 20 percent are national, and 1 percent is international. Forty-nine percent of patients are under age 30, and 8 percent are over age 60."
Dr. Davidge-Pitts notes: "Despite the multiple difficulties these patients face, each individual shows great determination, resilience and resourcefulness. At Mayo Clinic, we continue to promote advocacy for transgender patients and provide a safe, competent environment for their care."

I thank you for the additional (more recent) info that I couldn't locate, the numbers which you present, I believe, make what i am saying even stronger...
A smaller percentage consuming an even higher amount...
When you say $350 billion cheaper...well, it has been my observation that you get what you pay for...remember the government buys from the low bidder...what is the value you place on your health? Do you eat the cheapest food you can find? Do you drive the cheapest car on the market? Do you live in the lowest rent tenement possible? I don't. I work hard and try to get the best I can. I'm sure we all do.
Does anyone remember the pictures of Walter Reed Army Hospital that were on the news?
Yes, some veterans have unique needs but so do alot of non veterans as well...I would say that it is actually lower than the general population as prior to service there is an extensive health screening...lots of people are rejected for minor things. During service there is continual on-going health evaluation and if some one is found to be in need they are plugged into that treatment program before they even get to the VA.
All that is really not the point, put the numbers aside...My point is, the government projections are always wrong, the debt is unsustainable and government can't ever do anything well. Look @ Medicare...Look @ Medicaid....Look @ Social Security...All are bankrupt, insolvent, unfunded. Tax revenues cannot cover what the government is spending. DEBT DEBT DEBT it is not sustainable.
When you say $350 billion cheaper...well, it has been my observation that you get what you pay for...remember the government buys from the low bidder...what is the value you place on your health?
You can't have it both ways. You can't have the best of everything at an affordable price. Much of the debate has been about how the health care system in its current state is on course to bankrupt your whole country, but when I make the proposition for a different setup that would be substantially cheaper you still defend the current system. It's astonishing.
And, I am not proposing that you should have to put a lower value on your health. I would not suggest that you should forfeit you're private insurance or visit a public hospital. Ideally, as many people as possible should use private care rather than public care because it means less spending burden for the government. I am just saying that when you have a public hand in the market, prices are pushed down and that benefits the 99.9% of the population that doesn't have a financial interest in private health insurance.
Also, "you get what you pay for" is seemingly not always applicable; remember that amongst industrialised OECD nations, the U.S. spends about twice as much per capita on health but has the worst quantitative outcomes.

Gilead Sciences' Truvada may prevent HIV infection among high-risk individuals, if used in combination with other health strategies, and is well-tolerated by individuals who have not contracted the virus that causes AIDS, U.S. Food and Drug Administration review documents said on Tuesday. Truvada — a combination of Gilead's HIV drugs Emtriva, also known as emtricitabine, and Viread, or tenofovir — represents a potential milestone in the evolution of the worldwide AIDS epidemic by offering a tablet capable of preventing infection.

A federal jury Monday delivered a messy split verdict in the trial over Google's popular Android mobile software, by finding that Google infringed copyrights held by tech rival Oracle but failing to answer a key question that Oracle needed to press its case for nearly $1 billion in damages. The result was a blow to Oracle's quest for a share of profits in the world's leading smartphone operating system.

MONTEVIDEO, Minn.—Montevideo is seeking $3 million in state money to finish upgrading its levee system, including a leaky section that was built more than 40 years ago under emergency conditions.
About $7 million in federal dollars has already been spent to improve two-thirds of the system in the city, which is about 130 miles west of Minneapolis. But the remaining third is still vulnerable, as officials say it wouldn't be high enough or strong enough to hold back flood waters in a major catastrophe, the West Central Tribune reported ( http://bit.ly/17Iw6rq).
"We still have a very weak link in the system and we could still lose everything," City Manager Steve Jones said.
If that portion of the levee were to fail, floodwaters could cover about one-third of the community in as little as 20 minutes and would likely remain for a month or longer.
The city has been trying for more than 15 years to get additional federal help, but the $7 million it received is the maximum allowed by federal law. The city hopes for extra funding through special congressional legislation, but Jones said the chances of that happening were slim.
In the meantime, Montevideo is asking the state to provide about $3 million in bond funds. The city already expects to invest up to $1.1 million of its own money—the maximum allowed under state law—toward the project.
The work could begin quickly as long as the necessary funds could be found, Jones said.
"We just need to get over that last hump," he said.

April 7th is World Health Day. And health is top priority for Europeans
Companies are recognising this trend and looking at health when considering future developments. And focusing on health has lead Tunap – a market leader in technologies in the automotive industry from Wolfratshausen in Bavaria – to launch airco well®, the first complete system for cleaning air conditioning in cars.
Dirt and microorganisms build up in air conditioning systems within a few months. And this can pose a danger to the health of driver and passengers – long before any unpleasant odour is noticeable. That is why air conditioning systems in cars should be tested and cleaned at least once a year – before germs and bacteria can cause serious problems.
Unfortunately, many cleaning products used on air conditioning systems do more harm than good, because they contain harmful chemicals as well as colouring and perfumes which cause allergies. airco well® is environmentally-friendly and does not damage health. And independent tests have shown that airco well® is the most effective air conditioning cleaning system available.
The TUNAP Splash Effect uses high pressure to flush dirt and microbes from the evaporator and from in and around the pollen filter. This ensures clean, healthy cooled air for driver and passengers to breathe. The high pressure cleaning can be done quickly and easily by any qualified workshop as part of a regular servicing – or when changing to summer tyres this spring.

I snuck out on the IF for an overnight last weekend. Burlington to Shelburne and Charlotte on Spear, then dropping down to Vergennes and off to Middlebury on the backside route, staying to pavement most of the way down to Middlebury then up to Moosamaloo. Return route included Steam Mill and Natural Turnpike and some new (to me) dirt roads near Monkton.
I had a late lunch in Middlebury and then connected the TAM to skip some busy roads, only to find a construction detour that put me right back on Rt. 7 south out of town. In East Middlebury I hunted for a decent beer at the gas station / convenience store but nothing sounded good – so I topped off on a snack or two and water and headed up up up VT 125. The climb up 125 took forever. I was pretty cooked from the ride, and I walked the first steep pitch just out of town, pushing the bike uphill until I reached a pull off where I collected myself, hydrated, and then pushed on for camp.
At FR32, Goshen Ripton Rd. I turned onto dirt. This was about ~52 miles into my ride, and I found myself off the bike and pushing for a stretch to give the quads and lungs a break. FR32 is one of my move favorite places to get to on a bike.
My plan was to arrive around dinner time, setup camp, then make dinner while shooting a time-lapse sunset from the Voter Brook Overlook. I pulled into the Moosamaloo Campground at about 6:30, found an open site, dropped some $$ into the deposit box, and setup my Tarptent Moment.
Tarptent Moment Setup from Mike Beganyi on Vimeo.
The Voter Brook Overlook is a 5 minute ride further down the access road. It was a bit underwhelming with regards to getting a good sunset time-lapse – but I tried out the GoPro and made dinner.
After dinner I rolled back to camp, did some bike and gear adjustments, bear bagged my food and kitchen, and planned to turn in for the night. After I played with the long exposure settings on my Canon G12.
Morning found me up early, with the other campers still sound asleep. I made breakfast and broke camp, and headed for Steam Mill and Natural turnpike, 2 of my other favorite places to be in VT on a bicycle. Both of these roads are up up up… so I started the day with a good deal of climbing.
I stopped at the Robert Frost trail to adjust some clothing, and take advantage of the restrooms at the trailhead, from there I found Steam Mill Rd.
From high up on the Natural Turnpike I dropped into Lincoln, then Bristol for an early lunch / second breakfast at the Bristol Cafe and Bakery. A large group of GMBC cyclists congregated while I was enjoying my food. They were on a Sunday 'touring' ride. I chatted with a few before they left, then rolled out myself for home.
I picked a few new roads on the run back from Bristol… and the route pretty much did me in. I struggled from Monkton to home, but the roads I did choose are sure to be additions to future routes… especially if I route them to be downhill. Piney Woods Rd. is a lovely lane and a half (at most) of dirt… and it is steep as it follows the creek. Plank Rd., North Rd., Parks-Hurburt Rd. and Old Stage Rd. are also nice alternative routes (dirt) for going north / south and connecting into Bristol from Chittenden County.
From Monkton I followed familiar roads back into town, struggling with the heat, and feeling a bit dehydrated. I returned home about 30 hours after I left.

Villa - GOTCHA Gabby Agbonlahor
Not sure if the official site are trying to help generate some excitement amongst the fans and give us something to cheer but putting up:
Webflash - Striker Signs
Is a bit much when it is simply a contract extension?
Great news non-the-less as Gabriel Agbonlahor has agreed a new improved contract after breaking into the main team at the end of last season.
The 19-year-old scored on his debut v Everton at Goodison Park and has been deployed as a winger at times jumping ahead of Luke Moore in the pecking order late last season.
Gabby is a home grown Academy talent who one day will be talked about in the same glowing terms that Thierry Henry currently is. Trust me, I know (nothing) about these things.

As you can imagine, I am always looking for ways to insert more sex into this website. But how can I do it while still focusing on racial and ethnic issues?
Fortunately, porn star Alexis Texas has presented me with an opportunity.
Recently, Ms. Texas (and I am sure that is her real name) announced that she would not have sex with any black men in her movies. Considering that her profession calls for her to have, shall we say, rather relaxed standards about what she will and will not do sexually, this comes as a surprise.
After all, she is basically saying that she will do all kinds of crazy shit, and allow people to watch it, but there's no way she's touching an African American.
It doesn't get much more racist. This is especially perplexing because — and here the topic returns to Hispanic culture — the woman is part Puerto Rican. No, you really can't tell from her blonde hair and fair skin. But as we all know, Hispanics can be of any race.
Now, I'd like to give Alexis Texas the benefit of the doubt. Of course, it is not just because of my well-documented obsession with voluptuous blondes, which she is. It's just that… sorry, I lost my train of thought after the phrase "voluptuous blondes."
Anyway, it seems silly to call for a boycott of Texas' films, as I imagine that would have little impact on her fan base.
So why do I bring this sordid story up? Because, as I said in the lead paragraph, it was an opportunity to mention sex while still talking about race. Throw in the fact that I got to use the phrase "voluptuous blondes" three times, and this may have been my best post ever.

Here at the National Center for Policy Analysis, we analyze and examine policies and ideas that have the potential to change the world. NCPA can boast in its history the creation of health savings accounts and Roth IRAs as policy ideas that went on to become success stories for the American people.
However, in this Black History Month I would like to take a few moments of your time to share my thoughts and perspectives on a policy that has had a negative effect — affirmative action.
The basic premise of affirmative action is that standards and qualifications have to be lowered in order to create an equality of outcomes as a remedy to alleviate a "historical" disadvantage.
It's based on the belief that the best way to advance is to disregard or alter requirements — as we say in the military, lower the bar. I remember a Black Hat Airborne Instructor once telling us at Airborne School in Ft. Benning Georgia, "if you set the bar low, you will jump low." Profound.
And so here in 2015 we are witnessing the biggest failure of affirmative action — right in the White House. Yes, instead of seeing Barack Obama as the first African-American president, I see him as the first affirmative action president.
Now, before some of you go and get all "emotional" — which is the essence of what white liberal progressives promote — they enact policies that make them "feel better" — consider this premise a bit.
We sit back all across America and ask ourselves what is happening? How did we get to this point?
It's simple; standards and qualifications didn't matter in the presidential elections of 2008 and 2012. We wanted a "feel good" moment and were willing to cast aside any scrutiny. And any challenge or question of qualifications, ability, and capability were met with the vitriolic accusation of racist.
But in actuality, affirmative action is racist in itself as a policy because it admits that due to race, one is inferior and needs outcomes managed. Now, ask yourself, in the areas of sports and entertainment where blacks achieve superior results — are standards lowered?
Go to any inner city neighborhood and watch a pick-up basketball game. A team is chosen based on one single factor: the ability to play, and enable the team's victory. So why then is there this belief that standards aren't necessary in other aspects of our society for blacks?
In the case of Barack Obama, everything was handed over to him — the state Senate seat in Illinois, the U.S. Senate seat, and then the presidency. There were no legislative achievements – as a matter of fact, there were countless votes of "present."
In his reelection there was no examination of his first term record — just the demonization of his opposition. Obama was elected and reelected because his greatest asset was giving speeches and he was "likeable."
Let's ponder the recent case of NBC news anchor Brian Williams who has now been cast off the air at NBC for six months without pay for "embellishing" stories — in other words, lying.
And just how many lies has President Obama told in these six years as president? And what have been the consequences? That's another example of the horrible results of affirmative action — bad behavior is dismissed to maintain a level of "diversity" and the desired engineered outcome.
And what is the result of this inane Pavlovian experiment? The recipient of this blank check feels impervious to any challenge, scrutiny, or standard. He does not believe consequences apply and therefore even after a midterm election debacle in November 2014 takes the stand and mysteriously claims to hear the voices of people who did not vote.
Obama sees himself immune when clearly violating the rule of law in our country, the U.S. Constitution. He takes the stage to chide a nation to get off its "high horse."
In other words, when you reward bad behavior because you prefer a historical moment or a quota — you get more bad behavior. And a nation finds itself accommodating a new normal in measures of effectiveness in its economy or its national security — after all the focus is on the outcome, an African-American president — not the nation, or an organization.
Think about the fact that just last fall Obama told Americans Yemen was an example of the success of his policies against Islamic terror. Well, just last night we evacuated the U.S. Embassy in Sanaa Yemen — the second U.S. Embassy evacuated in less than a year, after Libya. Yes, that same Libya, where Obama abandoned Americans to die, got on an airplane for campaign fundraisers, and later lied about the nature of the terrorist attack.
And America, he was reelected.
So, I hear all the talk about "impeachment." But let's be serious, that is NEVER going to happen. It was "white guilt" that brought us Obama and white guilt is not going to admit it was wrong in this affirmative action endeavor in the highest office in the land. We will just ride this out for another two years with all the ramifications thereof. And President Obama knows that, and that's why white liberal progressive socialists supported him for the office in the first place. He's virtually invincible.
They knew America would lie down, back off, and accept this policy of equality of outcomes. They were nervous about it succeeding in a subsequent election but with a fawning and complicit media it was possible. However, what America told the progressive socialists was that standards and results didn't matter — and so now they're on easy street. The only question is, will lightning strike again, and in 2016 will people say "I'm ready for Hillary." Why?
Yes, President Obama is our first affirmative action president. That's not a demeaning proclamation, just a statement of fact. We lowered the bar and we continue to see excuses being made for someone truly unqualified for the position of Commander-in-Chief.
I'm quite sure the hatred and vitriol will be directed towards me — but my resume was built by parents who taught me early on never to see my skin color as a disadvantage — or use it as a crutch.
What's so great about being a black conservative? We ask for the bar to be raised as high as possible because as my mom, Elizabeth "Snooks" West said, "self esteem comes from doing 'esteemable' things."
And that folks is my message for Black History Month 2015. It is better to earn something through the pursuit of happiness than get something based on the guarantee of happiness. Because frankly, the only things guaranteed in life are death and taxes.

How Much Time Do You Spend with a Bottle of Wine?Posted by Fredric Koeppel under Cabernet sauvignon , California , Meditation and Contemplation
[6] Comments
When producers send their wine children out into the world, how do they anticipate that people who purchase the wines will drink them? Sipped as an aperitif? ("No, no," sobs the winemaker, "it's too good for that!") Consumed with an inappropriate dish? ("No, no," sobs the winemaker, "not the chili-mac!") Splashed into a plastic cup at a tail-gate party? ("No, no," sobs the winemaker, "at least use a water-glass!")
Above all, what amount of time do they intend for us to spend with a bottle of wine?
If you have been at the wine-writing game for a while, you have doubtless attended trade tastings where dozens, if not hundreds, of writers, retailers, restaurant wine managers and such flit from table to table sampling dozens, if not hundreds, of wines and spending about two minutes, tops, with each one. Now that's the way we pros assess wines! Truly, though, one skill that writers and other wine-tasters must acquire is the ability to make these lightning (and enlightening) judgments; star-power tends to make itself known immediately. Sometime in the Fall of 2003, I was in New York to attend a mammoth tasting of the 2000 vintage from Bordeaux, an event conducted in a circus-like atmosphere of competition that amounted to desperation. It was like running a gantlet where people not only hit you but spit red wine on you. Fun! And even amid the many great wines on display that hectic, arduous afternoon, when I took one sniff and one sip of Chateau Pavie, it felt as if the heavens had opened and the secrets of gravity were revealed. (I guess Einstein already did that, but you know what I mean.) That's the stunning effect of perfection, instantly perceived.
But wouldn't it have been better to have a whole bottle of Ch. Pavie 2000 at dinner — yeah, right — and taste it throughout an evolution of an hour or so?
This theme arose last night during an autumnal meal of braised pork shank (with porcini mushrooms and prosciutto), sauteed potatoes and green beans with apples. LL and I shared duties: I did the pork shanks, which turned out to be fairly labor-intensive for a weeknight, and she did the potatoes and beans. Whatever the work involved, the shanks turned out to be a terrific dish, and the dinner altogether was filling and warming on a chilly evening
I took the opportunity to open three cabernet-based wines from California. I have been working for weeks — it feels like months — on a post called "Old School California Cabernets," about, well, I think it's up to 30 now, current releases of cabernets from wineries founded in 1980 or before. That's enough examples that I may have to break the post into two parts so it won't be too long and unwieldy. Anyway, this trio, one from Napa Valley and two from Alexander Valley — prices ranged from about $45 to $65 — felt bruisingly unfathomable when first encountered, but since we sat at dinner for more than an hour and went back to each wine many times, we had a chance to see how they evolved as they loosened and unfolded in the glass.
One of the Alexander Valley examples I summarily dismissed as "too typical, too much oak, too toasty." Half an hour to 45 minutes later, however, the wine, while retaining an almost crisp oak character and formidable tannin, had opened beautifully, showing ravishing floral and spicy aspects and intense, ripe black fruit, all wound in vivid acidity. I went back to the wines the next morning and in terms of tannin, they were still hard as nails.
I wonder, though, if consumers who bought these wines and sat down to dinner with them would react the same way, or would they say something like, "Wow, pretty darn tannic," and go about the business of eating and drinking and then in a few minutes say, "O.K., that's smoothing out nicely," and just leave it at that. I mean, it's my chosen task to be an explicator of wine, just as when I taught English in college it was my task to explicate, say, a poem by Robert Frost — and when you think about it, both woods and wine can be "lovely, dark and deep" — but most wine-drinkers, I think, don't conceive of wine as a beverage to be explicated, just consumed and enjoyed.
Would their enjoyment be greater if they paid more attention? It's difficult to say. I spent 20 years writing about art and reviewing exhibitions for the newspaper where I worked, and I feel certain that my experience at an exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art or the Metropolitan is not the same as the experience of the thousands of people who traipse dutifully through the galleries. There are many levels of discernment and pleasure, in art or music or literature or wine. Knowledge and experience expand our range of discernment and pleasure, but such procedures are neither within the ken nor the desire of everyone.
Still, I would encourage my readers to spend more time with and expend a little more attention on the next bottle of wine they open. Give it a chance to open up and express its character and individuality, if it's the sort of wine that manifests character and individuality. Not all wines do, nor is that their purpose. On the other hand, if you spend some time savoring a $12 cabernet and it turns out to have a surprising amount of nuance and dimension, then you have profited in pleasure and wisdom, and the wine has been allowed to do its job.

I think for any subject you want to know more about, it helps to take notes at every opportunity. With movies, for instance, you start paying more attention to directors, themes, and obscure character actors. Friends may tease you when you're constantly whipping out the little notebook, but it will pay off in the long run.
I've taken wine notes on envelopes, the backs of receipts, etc. Even once called home and left the tasting details on the answering machine.

You have the genes of a writer…
I once took notes on a white sock. Alas, I forgot and washed them away. The event was the result of overindulging in the wine about which I took the note…

lets just hang Z in public and get it over with?
Or maybe bury him up to his head and then stone him to death?
If the facts prove he is guilty then justice should be served. If not then that is the verdict as well.
OJ, Cassie what's her name and many more have been let loose by our detectives/judicial system while others have been released after serving many years when new DNA evidence proves their innocence.
Its not a perfect system and is prone to human error and bias.
Thats all I have to say. Bash away

Bottom line is that it will be up to the court to decide. It's a tragedy through and through no matter what we all say on this site.
OJ's jury showed no racial bias in their decision. That pesky DNA didn't prove a damm thing.
But we're the racists........

Vick kills dogs and burress shoots himself both get 2 years followed by applause. Zimmerman kills kid at night and a detective wants to press manslaughter charges and 2 cops agree with the detective and somehow Zimmerman has followers? Are you guys going to send love letters to Zimmerman if he gets locked up.
Ya thats how it works..nobody checked to see if he had a broken/bloody nose or if he had lacerations on the back of his head or anything. What a fuckin pity.
No 13 year old boy corroboriting his story.
Trayvons father never said the voice wasn't his son's.
Its a damn shame when evidence goes against public box oppinion huh?
Cant wait to hear you guys explain this away.
Gonna be good tryna see you sweat this video out.

I'm not smart enough to figure this out on my own so I lean on cops 2000 miles away and can see the same evidence as me. I want this mthfcker Z to be guilty so bad that I have put myself on a cliff. When the smart dudes post videos that show zimmerman was legit defending himself I clam up so tight and cry like a baby.
All talk about xx years veteran cops bla bla bla. How many years does it take to learn how to follow the evidence trail fool?
You and anybody that thinks you can put an American in jail without evidence and based on your fucked up gut feeling is worse than a member of the Taliban.
When this is all said and done your umpteen year veteran cops are going to have to eat alot of crow and you probably will dissapear just like you've done on this and other threads since every bit of evidence comes forward that makes your perceptions and projections to look more and more retarded. Your mall cop buddies are stepping on their person and dragging you down with them, albeit not kicking and screaming.

College Bound Dorchester's College Connections program recognized
College Bound Dorchester's College Connections program was recently recognized by Mutual of America for its success.
The Dorchester-based educational non-profit, formed in 1965, will be honored by the life insurance company at a luncheon Apr. 4 with its Community Partnership Award.
A check for $25,000 is also expected to be presented to the group that partnered with the Bunker Hill Community College and UAspire on the program.
The money will support the program that serves over 350 at-risk local youth at a time.
"We're just very thankful," said Mark Culliton. "When we started this there was a lot of skepticism and now we're proving it can happen."
The program has been operating for the past four-years and works with youth ages 16-27. Concentrating on students who are at-risk of dropping out or not graduating, the program has partnered with area educators and colleges to provide a path to a degree and eventually a well-paying job
"A lot of the jobs that are open in Boston require a degree," said Culliton. "That's where the jobs are and where they're going and for us it's about where the real opportunities are in Boston."
With an emphasis on education and participation, the program includes mentoring groups and academic assistance programs that work specifically to serve those who have not always found success in traditional educational atmospheres.
"They're smart capable kids, they just need the support," said Culliton.
