Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States and worldwide for both men and women. Many factors may contribute to poor heart health, such as regularly eating an unhealthy diet of processed, high-calorie and high-fat foods, smoking, or living a sedentary lifestyle. Equally, uncontrollable elements like pollution may also put you at risk for cardiovascular issues.
Clinical trials have shown that supplementing with omega-3 fatty acids (found in fish oil) may help to maintain normal levels of triglycerides and cholesterol, support healthy blood pressure and promote normal platelet activity. Maintaining healthy cholesterol and triglyceride levels, promoting optimal arterial function and supporting healthy homocysteine levels are all important to the overall health of the cardiovascular system.
The Heart Health™ System is comprised of Heart Health™ Essential Omega III Fish Oil with Vitamin E, Heart Health™ TriActive™ and Heart Health™ Advanced LipiTrim® Ultra, all designed to promote overall cardiovascular health. Heart Health™ Essential Omega III Fish Oil with Vitamin E provides the three grams of EPA† (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA† (docosahexaenoic acid) that studies reveal is the most effective amount to promote overall cardiovascular health. Heart Health™ Advanced LipiTrim® Ultra is composed of ±Capros Indian Gooseberry, a powerful antioxidant that helps support optimal health as well as provide effects of optimal cardiovascular health, anti-aging, and sports performance benefits. It also helps promote delivery of healthy levels of LDL throughout the body, promotes a normal rate of cholesterol production, promotes healthy levels of total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels, and promotes the normal synthesis of triglycerides in the liver. Heart Health™ TriActive™ targets three major areas, the arteries, cholesterol and homocysteine levels to promote the healthy performance of the body's cardiovascular system. This unique formula uses a combination of natural ingredients that have been shown to safely and effectively support optimal arterial function and help maintain normal cholesterol and homocysteine levels.*

Fish Body Oils 3000 mg [EPA† 900 mg and DHA† 600 mg]
Fish oils, or marine oils, are lipids (fats) found in fish, particularly cold water fish like herring, kipper, mackerel, menhaden, pilchard, salmon, sardine and trout, and phytoplankton (the sources of fish oil in Heart Health Omega III Fish Oil are sardines and anchovies, tested by the manufacturer and an independent testing company to be virtually free of mercury lead, PCB and other heavy metals). Fish oils are rich sources of omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids. EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexanenoic acid) are the two most studied fish oils. DHA is a necessary component of the phospholipids in human cellular membranes, especially those found in the brain and retina. Clinical studies have shown omega-3 fatty acids to help maintain healthy triglyceride levels. A strong correlation has also been shown between fish oil consumption and the ability to maintain healthy levels of C-reactive protein. Fish oils are also important in the maintenance of normal blood flow, as they support normal fibrinogen levels (coagulation or blood clotting), which contributes to normal platelet activity.*
EPA and DHA have several mechanisms of action to help maintain normal triglyceride and cholesterol levels, help maintain normal blood flow and pressure, and support normal platelet activity. EPA and DHA help maintain normal triglyceride levels by promoting normal lipogenesis and supporting normal fatty acid oxidation in the liver. EPA and DHA promote the normal transcription of genes coding for lipogenesis enzymes and promote the normal transportation of the regulatory enzymes of fatty acid oxidation. Activating PPAR (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor)- alpha, helps to support normal fatty acid oxidation. The promotion of normal lipogenesis is done through down-regulation of SREBP (sterol regulatory element binding protein) -1c messenger RNA.*
EPA is the precursor to series-3 prostaglandins (PG), the series-3 thrombaxanes (TX) and the series-5 leukotrienes (LT). More specifically, EPA is a precursor to eicosanoids (TXA3 and LTB5), which promote normal platelet activity and promote normal vasodilation. These effects demonstrate EPAs potential ability to help maintain normal blood pressure and support normal blood clotting. Fish oils inhibit the arachidonic acid synthesis of thromboxane A2, which help to promote normal platelet activity and vasodilation. Fish oil may also contribute to the normal production of prostacyclin, a prostaglandin that promotes normal vasodilation and supports normal platelet activity.*
Omega-3 fatty acids compete metabolically with omega-6 fatty acids found in higher amounts in typical western diets. Omega-6 fatty acids may inhibit the incorporation of omega-3 fatty acids into tissue lipids. Omega-3 fatty acids may inhibit the conversion of many omega-6 fatty acids into arachidonic acid. Consumption of omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA, a corresponding increase of these fatty acids, appears to occur in cell membranes and circulatory lipids along with a simulataneous reduction in omega-6 fatty acids.*
Garlic 450 mg
The cardiovascular benefits associated with garlic are generally attributed to the various sulfur compounds that can be isolated from the raw clove. These compounds, which include alliin, allicin, S-allyl-cysteine, S-methyl-cysteine and many others, are found in varying concentrations in garlic, chives, leeks, shallots and onions, but the chemical composition may vary considerably, depending on processing methods. Garlic helps maintain healthy levels of cholesterol and triglycerides, promotes normal platelet activity and helps maintain normal blood pressure.*
Hawthorn Berry 75 mg
The bioflavonoid content of hawthorn berry aids in supporting healthy blood vessels, supports a strong heart muscle and promotes the structural integrity of arteries. Several studies have also shown that hawthorn berry is beneficial in maintaining optimal heart health.* Beta-Sitosterol 250 mg (as Cholestatin®) Beta-sitosterol, a close relative of cholesterol, competes with cholesterol for absorption in the small intestine, thereby supporting a healthy amount of cholesterol absorption.
Cassia nomame 50 mg
Cassia nomame supports healthy levels of fat absorption from foods by supplying flavonoids that promote healthy levels of pancreatic lipases (enzymes that degrade fat) in the small intestine. Cassia Nomame extract is a lipase inhibitor. A lipase inhibitor inhibits the enzyme responsible for the breakdown of fat, thereby inhibiting its function. Subsequently, some fat molecules remain undigested and unabsorbed into the bloodstream.*
Guggulsterones 5 mg
Guggul is a resin produced by the mukul mirth tree. The extract contains guggulsterones that help maintain healthy cholesterol levels by acting in the intestine to promote normal excretion of bile acids from the body. Guggul extract has also been shown to help maintain healthy blood flow. Guggul appears to promote healthy cholesterol by inhibiting the activities of the Farnesoid X Receptor in the cells of the liver and intestine. FXR is activated in the presence of bile salts for the re-uptake of bile salts back into the body from the small intestine. Guggul appears to promote normal activity of the FXR and the bile salt export pump (BSEP), which promotes the normal excretion of bile from the body. Cholesterol, as a component of bile, is therefore excreted. By promoting the normal output of cholesterol in bile salts, the body is forced to use stored cholesterol to synthesize new bile salts.*
Cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B12) 500 mcg
Vitamin B12, a bacterial product is naturally found in organ meats, liver, beef, pork, eggs, whole milk, cheese, whole wheat bread, and fish. B12 can only be found in animal products, with small amounts derived from the fermented soy products miso and tempeh and peanuts. It is essential that vegetarians consume a vitamin B12 supplement to maintain optimal health. Vitamin B12, when ingested, is stored in the liver and other tissues for later use. The synthetic form of B12, Cyanocobalamin, is not derived from either plants or animals and is intrinsic in the maintenance of normal functioning body cells, especially those of the nervous system (maintaining the health of the sheaths of nerve cells), bone marrow and intestinal tract. These tissues are first to exhibit signs of B12 depletion. Vitamin B12 itself is responsible for maintaining optimum energy levels as it plays a vital role in the Krebs energy cycle. It is also a great anti-aging ingredient and helps increase concentration.*
Folate (Folic Acid) 300 mcg (as Metafolin®)
Folic acid is mainly found in fruits and vegetables. Dark, leafy greens, oranges, orange juice, beans and peas are the best sources as well as Brewers yeast, which supply additional B vitamins. Folic acid plays a key role by boosting the benefits of B12 supplementation. These two B vitamins work together in maintaining normal red blood cells. Folic acid assists in the normal utilization of amino acids and proteins, as well as constructs the material for DNA and RNA synthesis. Scientific studies have found that when working in tandem with folic acid, B12 is capable of promoting normal homocysteine levels. This works toward supporting a healthy cardiovascular and nervous system.*
Riboflavin 5-Phosphate (Vitamin B2) 3 mg
Vitamin B2 is found in liver, dairy products, dark green vegetables and some types of seafood. Vitamin B2 serves as a co-enzyme, working with other B vitamins. It promotes healthy red blood cell formation, supports the nervous system, respiration, antibody production and normal human growth. It supports healthy skin, nails, hair growth and promotes normal thyroid activity. Vitamin B2 plays a crucial role in turning food into energy as a part of the electron transport chain, driving cellular energy at the molecular level. Riboflavin can be useful for pregnant or lactating women, as well as athletes due to their increased caloric needs. Vitamin B2 aids in the breakdown of fats while functioning as a cofactor or helper in activating B6 and folic acid. Vitamin B2 is water-soluble and cannot be stored by the body in significant amounts. It must be replenished daily.* Under some conditions, vitamin B2 can act as an antioxidant. The riboflavin coenzymes are also important for the transformation of vitamin B6 and folic acid into their active forms and they promote the normal conversion of tryptophan into niacin.*
Pyridoxine HCl (Vitamin B6) 15 mg
Poultry, fish, whole grains and bananas are the main dietary sources of vitamin B6. B6 is a co-factor required for protein and amino acid metabolism, and helps maintain proper fluid balance. It also assists in the maintenance of healthy red and white blood cells. B6 is required for hemoglobin synthesis. Vitamin B6 is involved in the synthesis of neurotransmitters in brain and peripheral nerve cells. It has been recommended as a nutrient to enhance mental function, specifically mood, and to support normal nerve conduction. Some athletic supplements include vitamin B6 because it promotes the conversion of glycogen to glucose for energy in muscle tissue. Vitamin B6, when taken with folic acid, has been shown to help maintain normal plasma levels of homocysteine, which promotes optimal cardiovascular health. Vitamin B6 should be administered as a part of a complex of other B-vitamins for best results.*
Thiamin HCl (Vitamin B1) 2.6 mg
Thiamin plays an important role in carbohydrate metabolism and nerve function. Thiamin is required for a healthy nervous system, and to promote the normal production of the neurotransmitters acetylcholine and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). It is used to manufacture hydrochloric acid and, therefore, supports digestion, increases energy and helps promote mental clarity.*
D-Calcium Pantothenate (Vitamin B5) 12.5 mg
Pantothenic acid (B5) is the transfer agent for choline to acetylcholine, which promotes proper neurotransmitter activity in the brain. Pantothenic acid is also known as the anti-stress vitamin because it detoxifies brain tissue, helps relieve physical and emotional stress, and promotes the normal secretion of hormones.*
Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) 25 mg
Niacin is a water-soluble vitamin necessary for many aspects of health, growth and reproduction. It is part of the vitamin B complex. Niacin promotes the normal functioning of the digestive system, skin and nerves. It is also important for the conversion of food to energy. Niacin (also known as vitamin B-3) is found in dairy products, poultry, fish, lean meats, nuts and eggs, as well as legumes and enriched breads and cereals.*
Biotin (Vitamin B7) 150 mcg
Biotin can be found in food sources such as egg yolks, peanuts, beef liver, milk (10 mcg/cup), cereals, almonds and Brewers yeast. Biotin supports healthy cell growth, the production of fatty acids, metabolism of fats, and amino acids. It plays a role in the citric acid cycle, the process in which biochemical energy is generated during aerobic respiration. Biotin not only assists in various metabolic chemical conversions, but also supports the normal transfer of carbon dioxide. Biotin is helpful in maintaining a steady blood sugar level. Biotin is often recommended for strengthening hair and nails.
†Capros Indian Gooseberry 250 mg
Capros® is a patented and standardized extract of Indian gooseberry. As a powerful antioxidant, it helps support optimal health as well as provide effects of optimal cardiovascular health, anti-aging, and sports performance benefits. Capros® possesses adaptogenic properties which help provide resistance to stressors and promotes balance in the body. This is unique among superfruits and enhances Capros' wellness profile beyond the standard benefits provided by generic antioxidants. Capros is a multi-patented, certified-organic, self-affirmed GRAS extract of Indian gooseberry which sets it apart from others on the market.
Indian gooseberry is the common name for Phyllanthus emblica. It is native to India and parts of the Middle East and its fruits have been used in Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years for various health aspects. Although small in size, the fruits are a nutritious source of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and a diverse blend of polyphenolic compounds. In fact, the edible fruit tissue contains 160 times the vitamin C of an apple, and up to 720 mg of vitamin C per 100 grams of fruit pulp.
Indian gooseberry has been well supported by scientific research to help maintain optimal cardiovascular health. Human clinical studies conducted in both India and the United States have discovered a multitude of cardioprotective benefits from consuming the fruit, such as supporting healthy cholesterol and triglyceride levels, lowering C-reactive protein, and reducing oxidation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) particles.
What exactly is cardiovascular health?
The term cardiovascular health (also referred to as heart health) is used to describe a cardiovascular system that is strong and in good physical condition. By leading a more healthful lifestyle and through proper supplementation, you can significantly increase your chances of maintaining good cardiovascular health.
What does lifestyle have to do with heart health?
There are simple, everyday things you can do to help maintain proper heart health. Among these are:
- Not smoking
- Maintaining a healthy height-to-weight ratio
- Eating a diet rich in fruits, vegetable and whole grains
- Limiting the consumption of total and saturated fat
- Exercising regularly
- Working with your physician to monitor cholesterol, blood pressure, homocysteine and C-reactive protein levels
- Starting a complete nutritional supplementation program designed to help maintain proper cardiovascular health
What is homocysteine?
Homocysteine is a marker of cardiovascular risk. Homocysteine is a toxic amino acid that, when found in high concentrations in the blood, is associated with a high risk of heart disease and stroke. According to some experts, homocysteine, as a marker for CVD, is as important a factor as cholesterol or smoking. Homocysteine levels can become elevated as a result of smoking, high alcohol consumption, low levels of selected B-vitamins in the diet, and it is associated with poor cardiovascular health.
Is the fish oil tested to be free of heavy metals?
Yes. The fish oil used in Essential Omega III is tested twice; once from the manufacturer and then by an independent testing company. The fish oil used in Essential Omega III is laboratory tested for mercury, lead, PCB and other heavy metals. We only use fish oil that meets or exceeds standards set by Canada (CFIA), the European Union (EU) and the United States (CRN).*
Is this product vegetarian?
No. This product contains gelatin and fish oils.
What is meant by 50 percent purity?
The 50 percent purity refers to the fish body oils, EPA and DHA. This is the highest quality fish oil available at this time. The other 50 percent are assorted fatty acids contained within the fish body oils.
Why is LDL cholesterol considered bad?
When too much LDL cholesterol circulates in the blood, it can slowly build up in the inner walls of the arteries that feed the heart and brain. Together with other substances, it can form plaque, a thick, hard deposit that can clog those arteries. If a clot forms and blocks a narrowed artery, it can cause serious heart problems.
Why is HDL cholesterol considered good?
About one-third to one-fourth of blood cholesterol is carried by high-density lipoprotein (HDL). HDL cholesterol is known as the good cholesterol because a high level of it seems to protect against heart problems. Medical experts think that HDL tends to carry cholesterol away from the arteries and back to the liver where it's passed from the body. Some experts believe that HDL removes excess cholesterol from plaque in arteries, thus slowing the buildup.
What are triglycerides and how are they related to HDL and LDL?
Triglyceride is a form of fat. It comes from food and is also made in your body. People with high triglycerides levels often have high overall cholesterol, which is high LDL and low HDL cholesterol levels.

<< See-Through Salem: Dr. Salem al-Farjani Or, What Ever Became of Dr. Rajub?
By November 2 at the latest, our missing persons and massacres expert, Dr. Salem al Farjani, was the acting chairperson of the National Missing Persons Commission. On this day, none other than UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon visited the shed massacre site, and his tour guide was Dr. al Farjani. He deciphered for him the large-scale Gaddafi regime massacre he has now been caught lying, and apparently helping others lie, about having witnessed. From a UN press release:
The Secretary-General then visited a mass-grave site near the capital and met with the survivors and families of victims of a massacre that had been carried out by the Khamis Brigade
After being briefed on the incident in the warehouse by Salem al Ferjani, the acting Chairperson of the National Missing Persons Commission, the Secretary-General told the group he was profoundly shocked by what he had seen and heard. He said the perpetrators of all such human rights crimes should be brought to account. [UN]
Hopefully he'll get another shock soon. One photo linked at the PR shows about ten of these survivors Moon met, none of whom looks obviously familiar from the August batch. Another UN photo shows al Farjani himself, full body, standing with Moon inside the warehouse his alter-ego had visited at least once.
We see here that he's not tall, perhaps a bit leaner than before, and sporting the beginnings of a nicely gray beard. This, as we'll see, was the start of his new, famous-and-not-quite Dr. Rajub look, along with always pointing his chin down, eyes up at militia commanders and Koreans alike. It's apparently the chin he's trying to hide more than anything.
I found an account of Moon's visit from the other side at the Facebook page of the association of holocaust survivors of Yarmouk. Google translated from the original Arabic (goofy parts intact):
I found an account of Moon's visit from the other side at the Facebook page of the association of holocaust survivors of Yarmouk. Google translated from the original Arabic (goofy parts intact):
...the delegation to listen to the survivors of the Holocaust on how to get the crime. The Alovdayda to listen to the demands of the families of the victims and survivors, which was applied material and moral support by UN agencies to the affected people. He also asked the people to open the tomb, which buried the bodies were burnt with the support of the UN discernible DNA samples where it is difficult discernible such samples. Students as well as urban residents unzip frozen funds for the benefit of the Transitional National Assembly in order to be compensation for the victims of crimes of Gaddafi. [any money if it was a TNC crime and these people aren't the real victims?]
Dr. Salem has Ferjani arranging to meet the delegation of the UN victims' families and survivors. And Dr. Salem with Mr. Secretary-General in this regard and has toured the scene of the crime and informed him of what happened in the prison.
The Association thanks all of the Delegation of the United Nations as well as the delegation of the National Commission to identify the bodies [Dr. Salem] and tracing of his interest in this subject.
ICCAn excellent find from contributor Felix will start the other half:
|Dr. Salem al Farjani, left, and Luis
Moreno-Ocampo, right (Nov. 23, 2011)
The description says:
The International Criminal Court's (ICC) chief prosecutor visited a military base on the outskirts of Tripoli on Wednesday (November 23) where the charred remains of 53 people were found after the fall of Tripoli to rebel fighters.
Luis Moreno-Ocampo, who is visiting Libya for talks with authorities after the capture of Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, met families of those killed by loyalists of Muammar Gaddafi at the Khamis 32 military base.
Moreno-Ocampo said the ICC was still investigating the alleged crimes committed by Saif al-Islam and other members of the former regime.
"We are still investigating, that's why I'm here. We are still investigating the crimes and eventually, if there are no security problems, we can pass to them everything we have. Because, in fact, many of them, as today, they are helping us to collect the evidence. So I think it's important to understand for Libya this is crucial, and for our rules, they can do it. But of course all is subject to the ICC judges' authorisation," Moreno-Ocampo told reporters after seeing some of the charred remains.(skin perhaps, and other charred debris, not the actual bodies, which were removed almost three months prior)
Dr. al Farjani isn't named nor undeniably recognizable here, except in his spot at Ocampo's right side in that charred old shed, like when Moon visited. But this is the first time we can do any voice verification. It's very brief, and he has his back to the camera, just outside the shed. He says the families want the truth about the massacre, and survivors too, and he says it in the exact voice of "Dr. Salim Rajub" speaking in English to Sky News about actually hearing and seeing it happen. And it's probably the voice of "Ahmed al Farjani," the construction worker who sheltered escapee Atiri, right before "Dr. Rajub" brought Atiri to Sky News with him, standing on his right side.
Recall that Dr. Salem told Sky News the ICC and Moreno-Ocampo needed to investigate this Loyalist crime, and the witness he coached, Mustafa el-Hitri, says he saw Khamis personally walk into the compound and give some kind of order just before the massacre.
A Profile Article and Human Rights Consultations
Then there was a December AP article publicizing Dr. al Farjani and his struggle, and his help to Physicians for Human Rights to understand the crime (forthcoming ...) If he's nominated for a nobel prize or some such for his work exposing the "holocaust," that too will be added here.
For now, see the AP article and my post on the PHR report he advised on.

This weekend's premiere on Starz was last year's "Straw Dogs", the remake of Sam Peckinpah's 1971 film.
Starring James Marsden and Kate Bosworth (both of whom I still hold grudges against for their complicity in "Superman Returns"), "Straw Dogs" is the story of a couple who return to the small Mississippi town she grew up in. Her father is recently deceased and they've inherited his home, but it's suffered some damage in a recent hurricane. The crew that the couple hire to repair the home is comprised of men she knew from high school… unfortunately, they're drunken, violent townies.
When the crew begins to lust after her, things get out of hand.

Ian Rizzio was a 24-year-old mechanical engineering student in Portland, Oregon, managing a sandwich shop to pay his tuition. One day, he woke up sick, but went to work anyway, as he later testified to the Portland City Council. After vomiting in the bathroom, Rizzio spent two hours trying — unsuccessfully — to reach his boss before going home to rest.
When Rizzio came into work the next day, he was fired immediately. With $35,000 in student loans, he feared he'd have to withdraw from school.
Unfortunately, Rizzio is not alone.
More than 40 million Americans — disproportionately low-income, black and Latino workers — cook, clean, fold, and ring us up without any paid time off when they or their children are ill. On any given day, these workers must choose between caring for a sick child and their job. They handle our food and our purchases, coughing and sniffling through Kleenex, to avoid being handed a pink slip.
The absence of paid sick leave is a glaring injustice that puts American workers in the distinguished company of workers in Syria, Somalia and North Korea. It's an affront to our values and the dignity of a hard day's work. And it's a drag on our families, our businesses, and our society.
For all the vibrant national debate on work/life balance and encouraging women to "lean in" at their workplace, sometimes we need to make it easier for women and men—for all working adults—to stay home.
After all, should catching a cold really mean you could wind up out in the cold?
Many businesses claim that paid sick leave is another burdensome regulation — part of some dastardly "mandate madness" — but the truth is paid sick leave keeps workers and businesses healthy. Employees with sick leave are less likely to go to work sick. They're less likely to send their sick children to school or day care, where contagious kids can infect others. And they're less likely to wind up in the emergency room because they weren't able to visit a doctor during the day—leading to lower health-care costs for employers.
According to one study, offering U.S. workers seven paid sick days a year would save the American economy an estimated $160 billion annually in reduced turnover and increased productivity.
Fortunately, the push for paid sick leave has been picking up steam. Since 2006, when San Francisco became the first city to pass sick leave laws, Washington D.C. and Seattle have enacted their own versions of this humane, common-sense legislation. So has the state of Connecticut. Just a few weeks ago, the Portland City Council voted unanimously to require paid sick leave, thanks to the testimony and advocacy of Ian Rizzio and workers like him. The Philadelphia City Council has passed similar legislation, which Mayor Michael Nutter threatens to veto.
Despite the predictions of some critics, these laws haven't exactly brought businesses to their knees. After Connecticut passed its sick-leave law, employment actually rose in the most affected industries. The same happened in San Francisco — where the service and hospitality sectors saw employment grow faster than in neighboring counties — and where, during the Great Recession, more than 80 percent of employers surveyed said the law had no impact on their bottom lines.
But the latest — and sweetest — illustration of this movement's momentum comes from my hometown of New York City, where Democratic City Council Speaker and mayoral front-runner Christine Quinn had refused to bring a paid sick leave bill to a vote. For three straight years.
Some 39 of the 51 council members — a clear majority — supported the bill, which would have required businesses with more than five employees to offer five days of paid sick leave. Nearly three quarters of New Yorkers — including 60 percent of Republicans — said they would go even further and require employers to provide seven days of paid sick leave.
Yet Quinn, eager to court the city's pro-business elite — and having accepting $370,000 in campaign contributions from sick-leave opponents — held out, insisting she was protecting vulnerable small businesses in a shaky economic recovery.
So, as has been the story in every successful paid sick-leave campaign, New York organized. Feminist icon Gloria Steinem sent Quinn a strongly-worded letter, signed by 200 prominent women, from former Manhattan borough president Ruth Messinger to "Sex and the City" actress Cynthia Nixon. The besieged unions — so accustomed these days to fighting a rear-guard action — came out in full force, along with leaders in the black and Latino communities and prominent philanthropists like Jennifer Buffett. Diverse and determined groups, from the community service society to the working families party, put forward the intellectual arguments and the political strategy necessary for reform. And the Net roots — especially younger feminist writers and bloggers — galvanized the issue with the urgency it deserved.
This powerful grass-roots effort made paid sick leave the central issue in the Democratic mayoral primary, and ultimately made Quinn's position — as the only Democratic candidate opposed — a major liability. In the face of this pressure, Quinn relented last week and agreed to a compromise measure requiring businesses with at least 15 employees to provide five days of paid sick leave.
It's not a perfect bill, but it's proof of the power of a movement of everyday people whose cause is common sense and fair. And now, with Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi and others calling for a federal Healthy Families Act that would establish national sick day standards, that movement has a chance to sweep the entire country.
America has reached a tipping point, and we're sick of waiting.

Capital: the social cohesion that strangles us

We are the Crisis of Capitalism
John Holloway lives in Mexico and teaches at the University of Puebla. He has published widely on Marxist theory, on the Zapatista movement, and on new forms of anticapitalist struggle. His book Change the World without Taking Power has been translated into eleven languages and has stirred an international debate. His most recent book, Crack Capitalism, takes the argument further by suggesting that the only way to think of revolution today is as the creation, expansion, multiplication, and confluence of cracks in capitalist domination.

Technical Blog Post
Welcome to the App Center Community
Hello everyone,
Welcome to the ECM Application Center! This community is long overdue but as they say, better late than never. I won't rehash what is already available in other blog entries about the purpose of the community. I will however make the point of its importance to customers, partners, and IBMers. First and foremost, the community is a place where these three key stakeholders can collaborate and discuss in an open forum ECM topics of relevance and importance. The primary goal of the community is to share information with those who have common interest.
To our customers, you have a forum to solicit and exchange information on ECM topics related to your business. The value here is the ability to tap into the collective knowledge of not only IBM sources but the wealth of knowledge that our business partner community brings to the table. IBM ECM business partners are the most innovative and technically astute business partners you will find in the industry today. Their subject matter expertise and industry focused solution offerings have proven time after time the success that can be achieved when you align industry expertise, product expertise, and the best ECM software products in the industry to solve business problems. Take advantage of this collective information source to help drive better outcomes for your business.
To our business partners, you have a forum to share with others your technical insights and the unique value your company has to offer. Your active participation in the community is an opportunity to demonstrate industry and product expertise. Insight into best practices and how your company has solved similar difficult problems will demonstrate thought leadership. Insight into your solution offering, technology assets, and past successes will demonstrate experience and "know how" with deploying innovative ECM solutions. The opportunity to gain mindshare is there for the taking when you actively share your knowledge and tangible assets (e.g., sample code, whitepapers, solution assets, etc.).
The community will also serve as a forum for IBM to gauge support demands from both customers and partners and identify areas of improvement. From the perspective of Channel Technical Sales, I hope and expect to find new ways to support our business partners as they interact with the community.

Alumni Weekend 2013 Promises to be Memorable
Registration is now open for Alumni Weekend 2013 and several new events have been added to the lineup.
Alumni Weekend, to take place May 31, and June 1 and 2, will feature more events on Friday, May 31, and several new additions to June 1, with many old favorites returning. Classes ending in a "3'' or "8'' will celebrate reunion milestone anniversaries, but all classes are encouraged to attend the weekend's events. The theme of this year's weekend is "Return, Reunite, Rediscover.''
New for the Friday schedule, on May 31, will be an Academic Update Luncheon, hosted by the Old Guard Club; a tour of ECOHABIT, the zero-energy Solar Decathlon competition house being built by Stevens students; a Stevens Student Showcase, where students will discuss work in ground-breaking research and new discoveries; and a Hoboken Sampler, where several favorite Hoboken eateries will offer a sampling of their dishes.
The Old Guard, an alumni group featuring classes who graduated from Stevens 50 years ago or more, will host a luncheon on May 31, from noon to 2 p.m. Updates about curriculum at Stevens will be given and all attendees can ask questions. The Old Guard traditionally meets twice a year, and those events are always popular, as alumni get a chance to visit with old friends. While the Old Guard is hosting this kickoff to Alumni Weekend, all alumni, regardless of class year, can attend.
Additions to the Saturday, June 1 calendar include an Athletics Meet & Greet; a Planned Giving Seminar; a Greek Alumni Open House; an Alumni Block Party; a Gear & Triangle Meet & Greet; and a Stevens Technical Enrichment Program (STEP) Meet & Greet. Sunday, June 2, will offer an Alumni Farewell Breakfast as well as the Stevens Ducks 5K Run to benefit the university's cross-country and track and field programs. The 3.1 mile run along the Stevens campus will start at 9 a.m.
"The activities on Friday will offer alumni the opportunity to truly go back to school,'' said Nina Rogacki Pepe '84, chair of the Alumni Weekend Committee. "The Academic Update luncheon will precede the opportunity to review research accomplishments at the Student Showcase. And Saturday promises to be eventful with lots of options for everyone to have a great time.''
Classes celebrating a special reunion plan to do so in style. The golden anniversary class, the Class of 1963, will enjoy a 50th Reunion dinner cruise along the Hudson River on Friday, May 31. Several dozen classmates have expressed an interest in this special night.
Friday Night Cocktails & Dinner, a Stevens tradition during Alumni Weekend, will continue with a buffet dinner in the Babbio Center Atrium. Graduates of the Last Decade (G.O.L.D.) members will be reuniting as they wine and dine while cruising the Hudson and taking in the Manhattan skyline. The Classes of 2003 and 2008 will be highlighted during this new G.O.L.D. Boat Cruise.
But new additions don't mean out with the old, as the Beer Seminar and the Wine Seminar, both popular with alumni of all ages, will still be on the schedule. Stevens President Nariman Farvardin will give his "State of Stevens'' Address beginning at 11 a.m., June 1. Dr. Farvardin's "State of Stevens'' was extremely popular last year, and all alumni are invited to hear about the Strategic Plan for Stevens. The Harold R. Fee '20 Alumni Achievement Awards, given to the most recent reunion classes, will be given out at this event.
The Lollipop Run, for children ages 1-12, will be held Saturday, June 1, with registration beginning at 11 a.m. and the race kicking off at 1 p.m. All participants get a lollipop, T-shirt and medal.
Returning to a campus venue this year will be the Alumni Cocktails and Dinner Dance, a mainstay of the weekend. The night features cocktails, a three-course dinner and dancing to live music and will be held in the Howe Center. The Stevens Alumni Award, given to longtime Stevens supporter John J. Dalton '60, will be presented at the dinner dance.
Visit www.stevens.edu/alumniweekend to register and for full schedule information, or call the Stevens Alumni Office at 201-216-5163 for more details.

This weekend featured the San Antonio Symphony and Music Director Sebastian Lang-Lessing in music by Ravel, Debussy and Falla. Mike Greenberg wrote in his online site Incident Light, "The most remarkable aspect of the concert was Mr. Lang-Lessing's total mastery of the sound universe of Ravel and Debussy — the distinctive inner pulse, the eroticism, the layered transparency, the clarity of the textures, achieved through meticulous orchestral balances (and, of course, top-drawer playing from the orchestra)."
The good news is that this coming weekend features more Ravel — his Piano Concerto in G major with pianist Ewa Kupiec! Ms. Kupiec will be a familiar name to those who have followed the Symphony in the last few years. She was one of Maestro Lang-Lessing's first soloists and her return engagement has been eagerly anticipated. You can read her full biography by clicking here.
Craig Doolin, the Symphony's program note annotator wrote,
Ravel's kept himself well-informed of the newest musical styles in both popular and concert music and, being especially enamored of pieces with strong rhythmic qualities, became interested in American jazz. When Ravel visited the United States in 1928, George Gershwin treated him to several nights of jazz sessions in Harlem. The impact of this experience was profound, and is apparent in the two piano concertos he composed in 1929 and 1930. One of them was composed for the left hand alone as a grandiose vehicle for pianist Paul Wittgenstein who lost his right arm in World War I. The other work is the Concerto in G major, probably Ravel's most jazz-infused score.
Here is a video of the first movement, played by pianist Hélène Grimaud. The conductor is Vladimir Jurowski.
November 16 & 17, 2012 at 8 p.m., Majestic Theatre
Sebastian Lang-Lessing, conductor
Ewa Kupiec, piano
Copland Four Dance Episodes from Rodeo
Ravel Piano Concerto in G major
Mozart Symphony in 41, "Jupiter"
Concert sponsored by the Valero Energy Foundation.
Ms. Kupiec's appearance is sponsored by Carolyn A. Seale and Carol Lee Klose.
Mike Greenberg also wrote, "Mr. Lang-Lessing has been fully at the helm of this orchestra for less than two years, but his ambitions for its sound are already coming to fruition. In this concert the strings achieved a silken transparency and luxurious surface beyond anything I've heard before from this orchestra; in the Falla, the cellos produced a singing line so beautiful it could make you weep. The woodwinds were consistently elegant, the brass only a shade less so." With Copland and Ravel on the program for November 16 & 17, I'm sure there is a lot more of these wonderful sounds coming to the Majestic Theatre.
This will be Maestro Lang-Lessing's final concert in 2012. After this Classics concert, the Symphony quickly shifts to holiday mode with 15 different holiday performances in late November and December. The next programs for SLL will be the Brahms Festival (BrahmsSA.com) in February. The Symphony's part of the Brahms Festival will include all 4 symphonies, both piano concertos, the violin concerto and the double concerto for violin and cello — all conducted by Maestro Lang-Lessing.
