19 European Athletics U3 Championships European Athletics U3 Championships 10. Doping Controls General Information Doping controls will be conducted in accordance with IAAF Rules and Anti-doping Regulations under the supervision of the European Athletics Doping Control Delegate. Both urine and blood samples may be collected immediately before, and during, the Championships. Athletes selected for doping control shall be informed by anti doping officials. Athletes will be required to sign a confirmation of notification. Athletes who are to be tested may invite a team official to accompany them to the Doping Control Station (DCS). Passport or any other means of identification is needed. A selected athlete should report immediately to the DCS unless there are valid reasons for delay. All selected athletes will be accompanied by a trained chaperone or Doping Control Officer from the time of notification until arrival at the DCS. Athletes are reminded that refusal to provide a sample can render them liable to disqualification and may lead to further disciplinary action. Athletes who are required to use prescribed medication for the treatment of a medical condition should ensure that they have registered their medication, where necessary, through the Therapeutic Use Exemption system prior to attending the Championships Selection of Athletes The selection of athletes for control will be made on a final position and/or random basis under the supervision of the European Athletics Doping Control Delegate. In addition, the selection of further athletes may be ordered at the discretion of the European Athletics Doping Control Delegate. The athletes can only act in the right way if they know the rules and know the danger of doping. As a long term goal we wish to contribute with our programme to the promotion of fairness and respect among athletes. We need to fight doping as it is destroying the fundamental principle of our sport: fair play. In order to target the youngest group of athletes, the programme which is supported by the UNESCO, the World Anti-Doping Agency and the IAAF will be implemented for the sixth time at the European Athletics U3 Championships in Tallinn/EST (9 1 July 015). Please encourage your athletes to take part in this important programme. Only together we can make our sport drug free! Procedure of the Programme at the Championships All competing athletes will have a chance to learn and take part in an electronic quiz about doping in our educational tent located in the warm-up area. The electronic quiz is a multiple choice test which will give a detailed explanation in case of wrong answers. Participants who successfully answer 8 out of 10 questions will receive one of the I run Clean, I throw Clean, I jump Clean, I walk Clean T-shirts. The programme will run on all competition days in order to give all athletes the possibility to take part Additional Controls Additional athletes may present themselves for testing. These athletes must report to the TIC where they will have to complete the Doping Control Request Form. They will then be escorted to the Doping Control Station. The cost of this control will be paid by the European Athletics and will be deducted from the member federation's European Athletics subvention after the Championships European Athletics Anti-Doping Education Programme European Athletics is determined to increase its fight against doping. We want to ensure a clean sport and fairness amongst all competitors. One way is to search for cheating athletes through doping controls. We are continuously improving our testing programme, however, controls and tests are only a tool to identify those athletes that already broke the rules and have cheated everybody by doping. We want to support the true and clean athletes when they start to engage in our sport. We need to show that we are ready to help and give them guidance to challenge doping. European Athletics aims to promote education for awareness, knowledge and prevention. 3 35

Large breasts are often associated with the ideal female figure. But in many cases, bigger is not always better. Women with naturally large breasts often live with a great deal of physical discomfort. Large breasts can become heavy and pendulous, causing shoulder and back pain and even poor posture as a result of hunched shoulders. The skin under large breasts can become irritated, and deep indentations are often left by bra straps due to the weight of the breasts. Breast reduction surgery can be used to correct these problems, relieve pain, and improve the overall size, shape, and appearance of the breasts.
Breast Reduction in East Lansing
If you are considering breast reduction, contact Michigan Plastic Surgery in East Lansing. You can schedule your initial consultation. During your consultation with board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Lee H. Colony, you will be able to discuss your options and expectations.
A Breast Reduction Surgery Performed in East Lansing
On the day of your surgery, you will be administered anesthesia; you will be asleep during the procedure. Dr. Colony will make incisions that will allow him to remove excess fat and tissue. He will reposition and reshape your breasts to your desired specifications. The placement of the incisions depends on your desired outcome and may be placed around the areolas, vertically underneath the areolas, and in the crease under your breasts. Downtime following surgery will be required, and strenuous activity should be kept to a minimum for two weeks. Be sure to follow all post-operative directions to help ensure a safe recovery process.
Scheduling a Breast Reduction Consultation
For more information on breast reduction, call Michigan Plastic Surgery in East Lansing today. Dr. Colony is a highly respected surgeon with over 20 years of experience, and he is committed to each and every one of his patients. Dr. Colony and his staff will work with you every step of the way to make the process as easy and as comfortable as possible. He serves patients in the Okemos, Brighten, and Grand Ledge areas as well.
Call Michigan Plastic Surgery to schedule your consultation today.

National Review and Speaker Paul Ryan have called for bailing out Puerto Rico but don't disclose their considerable ties to the hedge fund managers and lobbyists who stand to profit.

The power of art is something I have been a witness to throughout my whole life. I have seen grown men brought to tears by 16 bars in a rap record, I have seen young people changed because a pen and paper gave them a voice, I have seen women learn to love their bodies because dance taught them to love their imperfections. I know art changes people. I know art unlocks people's hearts. I know art opens people's eyes.
Art has the ability to say the things we cannot say, whether we are too afraid, too ignorant or too busy, art is there for us all. It has the ability to make us care about a stranger collecting trash in Brazil, a kid learning to dance in the Bronx, or a young couple's quest to get married against their parent's approval. Art makes us feel alive. It shakes us to our core when we are exposed to things we didn't know. Art is crucial to living, to learning and to loving.
Today, art and technology have collided and the beauty of that collision means that art is accessible to more people than it ever has been. Recently two filmmakers Paola Mendoza and Topaz Adizes volunteered as teaching artists at Kakuma Refugee Camp in Kenya with an organization called FilmAid. While there, they were inspired by the strength of the refugees they met, and decided to make a music video celebrating these brave people. When I saw the video I got chills. The song, "A Heavy Abacus" by The Joy Formidable, is fresh. The creativity of the video blew my mind. For those of us that are privileged to live in the U.S. we might not think about refugees very often but I can promise you, once you see this video you won't be able to forget them.
To celebrate the power of art, I am pleased to share their video.
