'Big Brother 13′ Finale – and the Winner Is … [VIDEO]
As summer draws to a close, so does another season of 'Big Brother.' During last night's finale, veteran Rachael squared off against newbie Porsche in a hotly contested competition for the grand prize of $500,000. So who was the 'Big Brother 13 winner?' (Warning: Spoilers ahead!)
Jeff may find her "annoying," Shelly may dislike the way she treated her fellow contestants, and Daniele may loathe her on a personal level, but Rachael won the prize nonetheless.
It was far from an easy win, however. Rachael overcame many challenges this season, including the ouster of her fiance Brandon on two separate occasions and more emotional breakdowns than any other contestant. She beat Porsche for the prize by only a single vote.
Runner-up Porsche receives a second place prize of $50,000 and Jeff won $25,000 as America's favorite player for the second time.

Here is the info you've been waiting for – everything you need to know to shape up your lower body in time for summer…
BEST Lower Body exercise #1: SQUAT
An awesome exercise that targets the muscles of your butt, thighs, hips and erectors and core is the squat. Lower your body toward the ground, keeping your abdominals tight and your torso straight. Lower your body until your knees are bent at 90 degrees and not extended past your toes. Be sure to think and engage your glutes (butt) from the bottom coming back up. If you want to have an eye catching booty in those fancy new LuLuLemon yoga pants, you better prioritize and squat! Oh, and guys there is no sense in having a built upper body only to walk around on sticks for legs – get squatting as well.
BEST Lower Body Exercise #2: LUNGES
This is more less a one legged squat to a degree. There are a few different versions: forward lunge, walking lunge, and reverse lunge. Putting one foot in front of the other, lower your body toward the ground, keeping your abs and torso tight while keeping your chest up and shoulders in a neutral position (no slouching forward!). Lower until the front knee is bent at 90 degrees and not past your toes. Stand back up and then step forward with the opposite leg and repeat. For a better workout, hold dumbbells in each hand or a barbell if doing a reverse lunge in place.
BEST Lower Body Exercise #3: Side Plank Open & Close
Not only is this going to force a static contraction of your core and shoulder muscles, but it is going to nicely work your abductors (gluteus medius and minimus). Get into a side plank position supporting your weight across your forearm on the floor and keep your body straight. Your one foot and forearm should be the only things on the floor. Elevate your top foot that's resting on the planted foot up in the air into a "V" shape and slowly bring it back down and repeat. Shoot for 8-10 reps and switch sides and repeat.
Best Lower Body Exercise #4: Smith Machine Butt Blaster
Get a pad and get under the bar. Get in a "sissy" push up position with hands and knees on the floor/pad. One foot will be centered on the bar and you will need a partner to unlatch the bar or simply use the safety latches for the bar to rest on. You will then elevate your foot (on the bar) up in the air squeezing your glute. Be sure to control the tempo so you work the muscle and stay balanced and it control.
Let's lift that ass and drop those excuses!
So there you have it, a handful of top notch exercises to not only round out that ass but also to burn some calories. Forget about previous failed attempts in the gym and resist the urge to let past failures get you down. I don't care how many times you have tried and failed to transform your body and you shouldn't either. For most, the reason is usually because they didn't have a plan. They didn't have the knowledge or proper guidance to go about it correctly. What matters NOW is that you are motivated and ready to work with a winning plan to look and feel your best ever. Let's grab that momentum and get moving!
If you're serious about transforming your body then email me today and we can set up a consultation to see where you are, where you want to be and how we can get there. We will create a customized program that will get you the body that you want and deserve.
Don't wait. Tomorrow's excuse is the same one you had last week, lets get started today
Cheers to a new beginning,
Roger Bowman, CPT
Hi folks,
Since they won't post any of my videos on here, this is a direct link to one of them. You can see and hear me talking about what I do and how I can help you look and feel your best. Take a peak: http://michiganmainstream.com/705/
Or direct to youtube @: http://youtu.be/KPnWnHKKe1A
Don't be blind and see through the la-bull..
Hey everybody! All of you know that I am a preacher when it comes to clean, healthy eating. My question to all of you is: how much thought do you put into what you eat? Really, think about it.
If you want to get into great shape then you'll be interested to know that over 70% of your fitness results are attributed to your diet. In our fast-paced society, eating is often done with little or no thought as to what exactly it is being ingested. Excess body fat is a direct outcome of this hurried, poor nutrition. Even if you have the intentions with your diet, you may be frustrated and fed up with extra pounds and lacking energy day to day.
I can't blame you for being confused about what you should eat. The media definitely doesn't help. One day the they are telling you to give up the fats and the next week its said to avoid carbs like the plaque. Now it seems as though acai berries are the holy grail of weight loss. Geeze…
Food manufacturers increase confusion by printing misleading labels and bogus health claims. Sometimes it seems like the whole system is set up to confuse and frustrate us into buying the latest and greatest packaged food.
The bottom line is that your physique is largely a result of what you eat, so the foods that you put into your mouth should be carefully selected. Lets take a look at what you eat.
We need to know how to read nutritional labels. The nutritional content and ingredient list will give you everything you need to know about the quality of the food item. Below are a few ingredients that you should be a little concerned about and throw up a red flag:
1.) High fructose corn syrup (hfcs)
This is a manmade sugar, derived predominantly from genetically modified corn. It has been shown to promote binges and hunger, and spikes blood sugar levels which signals insulin to be released, and finally promotes storage of all this as body fat.
The introduction of hfcs into our food supply directly paralleled a 47% spike in type 2 diabetes cases as well as an 80% increase in obesity. Food manufacturers use hfcs in many mainstream products, including:
- yogurts
- cereals
- soft drinks / fruit juices
- salad dressing
- most packaged snack foods
- sauces
2.) Aspartame
This is one thing that will lift your eyebrows a bit if you research it. I encourage you to do so, especially if you consume a lot of diet sodas. Aspartame is an artificial sweetener that was denied 8 times by the FDA before being approved in 1973. Many scientists objected the approval, claiming that aspartame hadn't been proven safe for use a food additive.
Though aspartame is calorie-free it still has been shown to cause insulin to be released, which job is to stow away sugar - when this sugar is not available, the result is often hypoglycemia and severe hunger. Not exactly a recipe for weight loss.
3.) White sugar
White sugar comes from the juice of a sugar cane plant that has undergone an intensive refining process. In this all the fiber, enzymes, minerals, and vitamins are destroyed and the end product is nutritionally void. White sugar is also really high in calories, which your body loves to store away in fat cells.
4.) White flour
This one comes from natural whole wheat that has again been stripped of nutrients, vitamins and minerals. The end results in a nutritionally void product that is packed with calories that release quickly into your system, creating a spike in blood sugar. As previously mentioned here, this promotes fat storage and leads to hunger and big time cravings for more food. I don't think we need that.
5.) Hydrogenated and / or partially hydrogenated fats (trans fats)
These guys have undergone quite a bit of processing and their chemical structure has altered and changed a lot. Trans fats are said to be the most harmful of all fats (more so than saturated animal fats). These "bad fats" are foreign to the body and are trans-ported to your gut and stored easily.
If you want to be serious about looking and feeling your best with not only consistent exercise but a good diet too then we need to focus on eating real food items. Real foods include lean meats, vegetables, whole grains, fruits, nuts, and seeds. These should be the majority of your food intake (think caveman diet). When needed there is nothing wrong with utilizing a few good supplements like protein powders or bars in your nutritional regime either.
What you get as a new client with me:
- An outline of what to expect with your training including the what's, why's and how's of it all.
- Nutritional Guidelines
- General assistance with meal planning ideas with handouts relevant to basic food choices and combinations.
- Learn via training sessions, all the little things that make a huge difference in your results and effectiveness of your time spent in the gym.
- You will eventually learn how to properly put your own workouts together in an effective manner to yield the best results from your time spent training.
- If relevant and necessary, learn from me about hormones and their roles they play in your well being and body composition goals. If necessary, I can address any imbalances as a consultant through the company I work with.
BCAAs? What are those?
BCAAs are Branched Chain Amino Acids which consist of L-Valine, L-Isoleucine and L-Leucine which is the most anabolic of the 3. The benefits of these powerhouse amino acids include faster recovery from training, muscle repair and helps prevent and delay muscle breakdown. These are just a few benefits out of several.
Those that are dieting in a very strict manor may be putting themselves in a catabolic (muscle breakdown) mode as the body is often very reluctant to break down fat but instead will go after muscle for glucose to fuel the brain and body, etc. BCAAs help to prevent this and preserve our valuable muscle. After all, we work hard in the gym and kitchen to build and maintain muscle due to its positive influence on our metabolic rate and how it burns calories (fat) for us.
BCAAs also stimulate and help to create an anabolic (building) environment for our body. Sipping on some BCAAs before, during and/or after a workout can be a tremendous benefit for recovery and our progress from a fitness/nutrition program striving to achieve better body composition.
Whey protein as many may know, is well know for being high in BCAAs. Aside from the fact that whey is absorbed rapidly once consumed, it is the preferred choice of protein following an intense training session. One may ask: why not just consume more whey to get more BCAAs?
The BCAAs in whey are peptide-bound to other amino acids and, in order to be effective, must be taken up through digestion and then absorbed into the bloodstream. Even though whey protein is relatively fast digesting, it still takes several hours for all the amino acids to be absorbed into the bloodstream.
BCAAs in supplement form are free form, require no digestion, and are rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream. They spike blood amino acid levels to a much greater and faster extent than peptide-bound aminos. Even a few grams of free-form BCAAs will spike BCAA plasma levels to a much greater extent than a 20g dose of whey protein, thereby impacting protein synthesis and reducing muscle breakdown to a much greater degree.
The reason BCAA supplements have such a powerful effect on blood BCAA levels is that, unlike other amino acids, BCAAs are not significantly metabolized by the small intestine or the liver. Therefore, an oral supplement is more like a BCAA infusion because it reaches the bloodstream so rapidly.
Long story short, these guys are incredibly helpful regardless of how you want to use them. The beauty of them is you can add some to a water bottle or shake, etc anytime you want and get some benefits. One of my favorites is a product called Intra/Post by SizeSlim (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-WK3BR7Pr4). The ratio of Leucine (most important) is 9:1:1 and it has some other goodies tossed in the formula that are a huge compliment.
Best in Fitness,
Roger Bowman, CPT
Nutrition is so important if you want to keep your hormones properly balanced. All hormones are made from either cholesterol or amino acids (proteins). So, diets high in carbs and low in protein (and believe it or not, cholesterol) can cause hormonal imbalance.
Since all hormones are related and connected, excessive levels of one may throw others out of balance. For example, the high insulin levels created by many typical American diets high in refined sugar and other simple carbs disrupt the function of thyroid, reproductive and adrenal glands.
As a suggestion, if you want to start reducing hormonal problems associated with aging, you can start by reducing (or eliminating) simple carbohydrates like sugar, high fructose corn syrup and just "white" stuff out of your diet. We were not meant to eat processed food all day, every day. Instead, eat lots of fresh vegetables, whole fruits and healthy and lean animal foods like free range eggs and grass fed-fed meats. This will have a positive effect on your endocrine system and glandular health.
I could go on and on about how bad sugars are for us (as all my clients know), but I will leave it at this for today Eat fresh and clean to become a healthy machine friends!
Contact me today with questions and to set your 1st appointment. Tomorrow will be the same excuse you had yesterday and the month before that. Lets incorporate good nutrition and training for a new you!
"I'm going to lose some weight and then start working out"
I cringe every time I hear some obese and unhealthy person spit these words out to me when I sincerely try to offer them some help and some sound education and advice.
This is no different than saying "well, let me put ONE tire on the car and see how far I can get and then I will put on the other 3 later". And the excuse that one doesn't have the time to workout is just the grown up version of "the dog ate my homework". We all have 2-3 hours per week to get active. Most spend that each night in front of a tv, its just a lame and untrue excuse.
It seams as though everyone has this wishful thinking that they can somehow avoid or dance around what I call the wheel of success. This wheel consists of the things we know deep down are true: Exercise consisting of resistance training 2-4/week, Cardio 3-5/week, good nutrition 6-7 days/week (or <80-90% of the time) and when attention needed, hormonal balancing.
We are sold on false hope everyday in the media and those popular daytime doctor shows on miracle pills where most have very selective hearing and only hear that they can just take this pill and somehow this miraculous change in their body is going to occur. I find it sad that a large number of people come to me requesting this product and I always ask them a lot of questions so I can try and help them best I can with their interests and concerns. Most of course, are not incorporating any or very little physical activity and the eating habits verbally displayed are horrible. It amazes me how these people will not even entertain the thought of a good quality multi vitamin and some nutrition bars or snacks first before or with that magic pill they want.
When it comes to building your body (or shaping it, etc), you need to develop a base foundation FIRST before any real success can come from these specialty pills and powders that we see on the shelves. A lot of these extreme diets don't work long term either. People who buy into all this non sense are avoiding the truth. Nothing in life comes for free so just embrace that fact that better health, fitness and well being comes from good nutrition and physical activity on a regular basis. The sooner we can accept that, the quicker we can progress on a path to being a better and healthier person. When I say physical activity, walking doesn't count for much. Most of us sit on our ass for at least 8 hours a day so we need more than just a walk. We should be walking all day in the first place. To say you've been exercising when you really mean you have been walking a measly mile a day or every other day is a cop out bullshit excuse – you are not doing much and that isn't effective exercise.
Your excuses for being out-of-shape are getting old. An excuse takes less immediate effort than an action, but in the long run the action taker always has the advantage. Don't allow excuses to ruin your life any longer.
- Don't skip out on your responsibilities with excuses, instead expect more from yourself.
- Focus on the big reason why you are losing the weight. Make a list of the benefits you'll enjoy once you achieve your goal, and read them first thing each morning.
- Remember that you can only have two things in life: excuses or results. Which do you want?
Contact me today for your first workout and consultation to move towards a better and healthier you.
General Nutrition Guide:
Although nutritional requirements will vary based on activity level, here are a few basic guidelines for losing weight. In a nutshell: Exercise 3-5x/week for thirty to forty minutes, eat 5-6 meals a day, limit fat intake to 10 to 20% of total calorie intake, drink plenty of water, eat low glycemic carbohydrates and lean proteins, and limit simple sugars.
Proper nutrition can prevent various health problems. Cholesterol levels tend to be lower in individuals who exercise regularly and eat low amounts of saturated fats. Those with tendencies towards high cholesterol levels should avoid saturated fats that are found in animal products. Regular exercise can prevent or reduce high blood pressure. Heart and lungs are also beneficiaries of regulated physical exertion.
Solid nutrition, like good training, is simple – learn the basics and practice them consistently. A little knowledge and a lot of discipline is the secret. Apply yourself diligently – don't look back and don't look for shortcuts, there simply are not any.
Health and fitness has climbed to the top of America's popularity list and has become big business. As you've surely noticed, there is a gym on every corner and a slew of diet and bodybuilding formulas to pack on muscle and burn off fat. The competition is fierce, the promises are bizarre and most people are all confused, suspicious, and numb to it all. We are bombarded with a billion ways to diet, eat, and approach a life of looking and feeling our best. Let's clear the air and put a few things in order…
Rule #1 - Stay away from fatty foods (especially animal fats), excessive salt and simple sugars. This eliminates 98% of the fast foods, munchies and soft drinks. Who needs them? In a few short weeks, you won't want them, wonder why you ate them, and feel sick if you do!
Rule #2 – Eat a basic breakfast of low glycemic carbohydrates and protein to set up your metabolism for the day and to provide fuel and muscle building ingredients. Basically, protein builds muscle and carbohydrate supplies fuel for our body and brain. Breakfast can be an easy to prepare meal from a quality protein shake to a bowl of oatmeal, scoop of cottage cheese, fruit and coffee. Remember, if you don't feed yourself a small wholesome meal in the morning, your body will draw on your muscle tissue as a source of energy (catabolize and break it down), putting you in a slump and in muscle deficit. Add a good multi vitamin/mineral supplement each morning to put order and efficiency in your body chemistry as a compliment.
Rule #3 – With whatever effort it takes, feed yourself every 3 to 4 hours throughout the day with each meal consisting again of protein and lower glycemic carbohydrates. Any combination of the following is great: Tuna/brown rice, lean meat/red baked potato, cottage cheese/berries, chicken/whole grain pasta, lean ground turkey with salsa &spinach/small apple, etc.
Rule #4 – In plain English, to gain weight, eat more and eat more often. Be ready for solid bulk weight – lean muscle comes slowly but surely. To lose weight, eat less, still as often, consuming the more of your calories and carbohydrates in the first half of your day. Eating a source of protein at night is a good thing. Scale back on the carbohydrates as your day is coming to an end.
Rule #5 – Lean toward an even balance of protein to carbohydrate intake to build and maintain a lean body. Though contrary to popular opinion, many health enthusiasts, bodybuilders and fitness competitors agree. Emphasize protein.
Rule #6 – Between meal snacking is ok if the snack is truly nutritious – NO junk! Don't let them be a substitute for a meal or become a habit. Good snacks are fruits or vegetables, protein bars, whole grain bagels, cottage cheese, small protein shake (RTD's), etc.
Rule #7 – Simple carbohydrates (sugar) provide us with a quick pickup but let us down just as quickly. Excessive sugars wreck havoc with our insulin and blood glucose levels flying up and down and leads to fatigue and fat storage. Not good.
Rule #8 – Fuel up before your workout. Eat a small meal 30-60 minutes before you train. With lower glycemic carbohydrates in your system, you'll train harder, longer and with more enthusiasm. You won't experience low blood sugar jitters, nausea, or dizziness. After a good workout, protein shakes and BCAA's (branched chain amino acids) are king.
Rule #9 – Similarly, you need to eat a hearty protein meal with plenty of carbs within 45 minutes of completing your workout. This is necessary to provide the building materials to repair depleted and broken down muscle tissue and begin the process of building new muscle.
Rule #10 – The most important thing to consume in your body is water! The quality of your tissue, their performance and their resistance to injury is absolutely dependent on the quality and quantity of the water you drink. Our bodies also need it to help excrete waist out of our bodies as well. Drink it up during your day and especially during your workout.
Rule #11 – Sleep, rest and relaxation are of prime importance. It's during periods of sound sleep that our bodies recuperate and repair.
Practicing these basic rules in conjunction with a regular schedule of exercise and proper hormonal balance will put you on the road to feeling and looking your absolute best!
Call or email me today to get started on a program that will take the guesswork out of health and fitness and to set your results on fire!

Why yes, that is an AMG. Thanks for asking.
I haven't driven it much yet but a full review is coming soon.
Things I like: Batshit crazy acceleration, raucous exhaust note, I'm a fan of the exterior styling even though I know a lot of people hate it.
Things I don't like: Interior isn't that fantastic for its price, DCT gearbox seems a little odd in normal driving, but I've barely driven it so we'll see how that one goes. (I'm a little bummed it's white too because it's so boring.)
If you have any questions about it feel free to drop them here and I'll answer them as I get to know this guy better.

Had a lot of doubts before this race. Discussed dropping out and also walking to the finish line. I'm glad I had to do none of that and I also managed to hit my personal best time of 56:49 for my 10k. Hard work pays off. 😊
My knee started hurting yesterday after an easy run. It's unfortunate but I feel a little better than before. I'm not sure how I'm going to feel tomorrow but now the objective is to finish the run whether it's under 1 hour or not. I'll walk it down if I have to. Might as well, I've come all the way. 😊
Family - Rishu! ♥
My brother @ss_pillai used one of the parts from my set for a @ritukumarhq film. I love it when my music fits beautifully shot films! 😁
I can't wait to finish this album and start work on the next one. Already have the concept nailed for it. This one is more dancy groovy electro but the next one is going to be dark ambient. NO BEATS! 😁
One of the toughest runs of my life. The heat and humidity almost made me quit at 7kms. It's been a while since I've been wanting to run 10kms under 60mins. I've been working towards this. I'm really happy. I hope I can do something similar at TCSW10K. 🙂
As independent artists, we're lucky to have spaces like @studioislandcity. Top notch equipment definitely but more importantly it has the vibe to put you in the right zone and also the perfect people to compliment that great vibe. Thanks to everyone that works there! I hope to work here a lot more in the future.😊
Made this for @mixtapelive, showcasing the work the team did for #budxmumbai. 🙂
Last session at @studioislandcity today. We'll work on the rest from @ishannaik's new studio. It's slowly all coming together and I'm looking forward to this release. It's a test of patience for sure but sabar ka fal hopefully meetha hoga. 🙂

The best dog for meeting women....yes this is real!
Women love a cute dog... especially one of these.
It's not that you want a dog so you can pick up women. It's that you realize it's a pretty awesome side benefit of having a four-legged friend. Of course, all breeds are not created equal, and some have more mojo with the ladies than others. So before you head down to the pound to pick up your new wingman, consider what different dogs say to the fairer sex. Then choose the kind that's going to attract the type of women you want in your life. Like, for instance, one of these.
Basenji: The Pharaohs of ancient Egypt kept basenjis, so you'll be cashing in on a little royal cache. These furry fellows are literally incapable of barking. Instead, they yodel, giving them a silly and distinctive voice that women just eat up. Their adorable ringtails just add to the female appeal. You'll also be able to identify a smart woman when one comes up to you and says: "Is that a basenji? Is it true that they were kept by the Pharaohs and can't bark?"
Golden Retriever: When you get a golden retriever, you're going to think that every girl had one when she was little, or at least wanted one. Getting a golden retriever is kind of like cheating. You're going right for the jugular with a dog that shows you are an active man with classic tastes and a soft spot for cute canines. The stupid face they make when they pant doesn't hurt, either. And sporty women will walk right up to you on the street and ask if your dog likes to swim. Say yes.
Pit Bull: First of all, pit bull refers to several dogs, not just one. They run the gamut from dogs that run all over the place to others that are content to sleep 18 hours a day, rousting themselves only to mark a fire hydrant and chow down on some kibble. In any case, the pit bull is a dog that says, "I am tougher than a pit bull, but sensitive enough to want to adopt one." If you can't parlay that into something to do every Friday night, you need more help than I can give you.
Any Small Yappy Dog: Small dog breeds such as Chihuahuas, pugs, miniature pinschers and bichon frises have become increasingly popular with guys in recent years, for good reason. They've got larger-than-life personalities and are easy for the modern urban man to keep. Did we mention they're total chick magnets? They let women know that you're so manly you aren't afraid to walk around with a purse dog. And the spirited demeanor of these dogs mean you won't have to approach women at all. Your little furball will be happy to do it for you.
Husky: Huskies are great for one really simple reason: they're just gorgeous. Their white fur and pretty eyes makes them the center of attention wherever they go. If you luck out, you'll get one with heterochromia (an awesome word I just learned that means the dog has two different-colored eyes), a quirky feature that will have women gawking. (Bonus points if you have heterochromia as well.) Take this one to the park, throw a ball around and just wait for the women to flock to the Ryan Gosling of dogs.

As you know, within days sequestration may fall upon us and federal workers will be furloughed. It seems that many of our citizens do not know how serious this is.
To the editor:
As you know, within days sequestration may fall upon us and federal workers will be furloughed. It seems that many of our citizens do not know how serious this is.
According to the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Quarterly Census of Employment, 2011, Onslow County has about 7,000 federal workers and retirees. The Department of Defense has a budget shortfall of about $45 billion and furloughing federal workers will only save them about $5 billion. They will still have to make another $40 billion in cuts. In addition, although they will save $5 billion initially, it will cost them as well as our local community more in the long run.
Being that we are a military community, a furlough will have a negative impact on military installation productivity, operational readiness and our local economy; but more importantly, it will tremendously hurt the pockets of the men and women who make up a large part of Onslow County�s middle class.
If sequestration occurs, permanent workers will lose about 20 percent of their pay, the contracts of term employees will not be renewed, and temporary employees will be released. Also, our military personnel will suffer the burden of having insufficient resources and equipment to ensure optimal mission readiness and they will not be able to get optimal training and support from their civilian counterparts. Disappointingly enough, our indecisive congressional leaders will be losing no pay while we, the constituents, are suffering the consequences of our leaders� indecision and federal-state dichotomy.
As aforementioned, we are a military community. Much of the revenue generated in the Onslow County community is generated from military spending. Federal pay losses will result in less spending by federal workers. Consequently, patronage of local businesses will be less frequented by citizens resulting in more losses than gains by our small business community.
Whether it is state or federal, the budget has been written on the backs of the middle class for a long time now. Unfortunately now not only are they writing the budget on our backs but they are also choking us with it. How long will we have to endure their political shenanigans? How long?
The fierce urgency of now is upon us again. Whether we are a registered Republican, Democrat, or independent, we need to come together and appeal to our elected leaders to do the right thing. They are supposed to be serving us and not sacrificing us. I call on our local county and municipal leaders to join us in our appeal. I know state Sen. Harry Brown has been doing his best to let our congressmen know the negative effects that sequestration and furloughs will have on our local economy, but we need a collective effort from all of our local leaders. They should be calling and emailing Rep. Walter B. Jones and letting him know that sequestration is not the answer. Furloughing federal employees is not the answer. The answer is setting political pride and differences aside a taking a serious bipartisan approach to getting a budget passed and avoiding an imposition of pay and economic losses on their constituents.

MONTGOMERY — The Internal Revenue Service plans Saturday to auction 11 Harley-Davidson motorcycles, including models from the 1940s and 1950s.
MONTGOMERY — The Internal Revenue Service plans Saturday to auction 11 Harley-Davidson motorcycles, including models from the 1940s and 1950s.
The auction in Elkmont includes a 1946 Flathead and a 125-cc Hummer from 1950, according to the IRS website. The motorcycles were seized for non-payment of taxes.
The auction will begin at 9 a.m. at Asset Auctions LLC at 25885 Upper Elkton Road, said Asset auctioneer Bryan Willis. He said the auction will be conducted by an IRS auctioneer.
"They came out of Alabama," Willis said Monday. "I don't know much more about them."
Other available bikes are from the 1970s, 1990s and 2000s. The bikes can be viewed from noon to 4 p.m. Friday.
A Harley rider said personal preference determines whether a particular motorcycle is valuable. "The older bikes are very valuable," said retired postsecondary Chancellor Ren�e Culverhouse.
Culverhouse said she first became interested in motorcycles while in law school, but is taking a hiatus from riding.
Whether a Harley is "chopped" or unaltered, there's always someone who will like a particular style.
"The mystique is you want your bike to reflect your own personality," Culverhouse said. "The Harley-Davidson after-market of accessories is a big business. People don't want their bikes to look like other bikes."
Culverhouse said Harley-Davidsons from the 1970s are known for their poor quality because the original company was sold to a company that kept it for about the entire decade.
Information about the motorcycles, including VIN numbers and photographs, can be found at www.treasury.gov/auctions/irs.

If freezing temperatures haven't arrived in this area by the time of this publication, they eventually will. Go ahead and prepare non-hardy plants for winter's arrival by potting them up in containers and relocating them within a greenhouse, basement, storage building or garage, or bring them inside the residence to use as houseplants.
If freezing temperatures haven't arrived in this area by the time of this publication, they eventually will. Go ahead and prepare non-hardy plants for winter's arrival by potting them up in containers and relocating them within a greenhouse, basement, storage building or garage, or bring them inside the residence to use as houseplants.
Of course, before bringing a potted plant inside your home, take precautions to prevent transporting hitchhikers — ants, frogs, birds, mice, lizards or even snakes that may be hidden within the plant's foliage or embedded in the potting soil.
Each fall, before relocating non-hardy plants from the landscape or porch to the interior of my home, I remove each plant from its container and empty the used soil in a nearby planting bed. After cleaning and sanitizing each container, I refill the vessel with newly purchased potting soil and situate the plant back in the container. For easier transport, I place each container on a rolling plant caddy, but I do not apply water until the container has been positioned permanently for the winter.
This method takes a good deal of effort, but I learned the hard way that emptying and replacing container soil is easier than fighting ants for several days, and I definitely don't want to bring a snake or mouse inside my home.
For a neater winter landscape, remove dried or dead foliage from perennials and bulb plants and place the material on the compost pile. If possible, rake and mulch leaves before adding them to the compost pile. Walk the landscape and pull any weeds that have propagated in planting beds, removing them by the entire root systems.
Clean and refill bird feeders and birdbaths. Empty plant containers that may freeze and break and store them inside for the winter, or leave the containers outside, but turn the pots upside down to prevent water from collecting and freezing. Place cactus and succulents in a safe location out of the weather where they will not freeze or become overwatered.
For elephant ears, gingers, banana plants and any other bulb plant that may be susceptible to freezing, either dig them up and store the bulbs in a cool dry place, or cover the plants with a heavy layer of mulch.
Years ago, I learned a wonderful method of insulating plants for the winter from my friend Cookie Robertson. We place an unopened bag of shredded pinebark mulch on top of banana plants, or any other plant we wish to protect from freezing temperatures, and they stay warm and snug for the winter.
Before frost and freezing temperatures arrive, cut Confederate roses and Angel trumpets back to ground level. Sever the pruned trunks into approximately 2-foot sections. Place the sections into a container of water and store them in a warm place for the winter. By the end of winter, a root system will have developed at the base of each section that may be transplanted into a container of soil. Keep the soil moist until the root system becomes well established. In the spring, after the last expected freeze, the new plant may be moved outside, either left in a large container or replanted directly into the landscape.

All In The Family...
I have a terrible cold. I began coming down with it on Monday, and on Tuesday, I became really sick. It's been several years since I've had a bad cold like this.
Today, I have given up. I've spent the entire day sleeping on the sofa, just waking enough to swig down some pills a few times. I could easily go back to sleep again, and I will probably do so before long.
I usually don't sleep more than I must, but in the last 24 hours, I think I've slept at least 18. Every time I close my eyes, a few more hours are gone. It is odd for me to sleep so much.
I guess all this sleep is helping because I was running a fever yesterday but I'm not running one this evening.
I don't feel well at all and I certainly don't enjoy the coughing and snuffling, but I can't deny that it's a luxury to set everything aside and sleep until I can sleep no more. I should try that sometime when I'm not sick!

Martin J. O'Malley
Term: 1999 to 2007 Martin O'Malley was the youngest mayor to be elected in Baltimore history when he moved to City Hall in 1999. Earlier, he had served in the City Council from 1991 to 1999. The University of Maryland Law School graduate was assistant state's attorney for Baltimore from 1988 to 1990. During his two administrations, O'Malley fought to reduce the city's crime rate, improve school test scores and helped generate a $350 million budget surplus, the first in years. In addition to his mayoral duties, O'Malley plays guitar and is a vocalist in the Celtic rock band, O'Malley's March, which in 2012 performed for President Barack Obama at the White House. Considered a rising national political star, in 2005 O'Malley was named by Esquire Magazine as the "Best Young Mayor in the Country," and that same year, he was named one of the nation's "Top 5 Big City Mayors." Since 2007, he has been governor of Maryland.

Fertility conditions may affect both men and women. In fact, approximately 33% of infertility cases occur from a combination of male and female factors. Additionally, approximately 10-15% of couples in the United States are infertile. Infertility is defined as not being able to become pregnant after at least one year of trying.
Approximately 40-50% of infertility cases are caused by female conditions. These include damage or blockage of the fallopian tubes, endometriosis, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and premature ovarian failure (POF).
The remaining infertility cases are caused by male conditions. These include sperm production problems, health and lifestyle factors, and overexposure to certain environmental elements.
Individuals affected by fertility conditions may be treated with medications and various medical technologies. However, these measures may help treat the symptoms without curing the underlying condition.
Signs and symptoms
: Individuals may experience pelvic pain and cramping that may begin before and continue several days into the menstrual period. Women may also feel lower back and abdominal pain. Additionally, individuals may experience occasional heavy periods (menorrhagia) or bleeding between periods (menometrorrhagia).
Erectile dysfunction
: Symptoms associated with erectile dysfunction (ED) include the occasional inability to obtain a full erection, inability to maintain an erection throughout intercourse, and complete inability to achieve an erection. Lack of morning erections are also seen along with a decrease in sex drive (libido).
Polycystic ovary syndrome
: Women with (PCOS) usually have the following signs and symptoms: irregular or no menstruation, which is the most common characteristic, signs of excess androgen (male hormone), such as long, coarse hair on the face, chest, lower abdomen, back, upper arms, or upper legs (hirsutism), acne, and male-pattern baldness (alopecia). However, not all women who have PCOS have physical signs of androgen excess. The ability to use insulin effectively is impaired in PCOS and can result in high blood sugar levels and diabetes. Other symptoms that may occur with PCOS include: high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, elevated levels of C-reactive protein, which may be associated with cardiovascular problems such as heart attack, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (or fatty liver), and sleep apnea (pauses in breathing during sleep).
Premature ovarian failure
: Menstrual periods may become irregular and women may experience hot flashes, night sweats, irritability, vaginal dryness, low sex drive, or trouble sleeping.
: Endometriosis may be diagnosed by a combination of physical examination findings and diagnostic tests. Typical procedures include a pelvic exam and transvaginal ultrasound. Pelvic laparoscopy may be needed to make a definitive diagnosis, but patients may choose to start treatment without having this procedure performed. Laparoscopy is a surgical procedure performed under either general or local anesthesia. The abdomen is inflated with carbon dioxide through a small incision in the navel, into which an instrument called a laparoscope is inserted to view the abdomen and pelvis. A biopsy may also be performed during this procedure to analyze tissue samples for further diagnosis.
Erectile dysfunction
: A medical history includes the frequency and duration of symptoms, the presence or absence of morning erections, and the quality of the relationship with the sexual partner. The sudden onset of erectile dysfunction (ED) in association with normal morning erections suggests ED caused by psychological issues, such as anxiety disorders.
Psychosocial examination, using an interview and a questionnaire, reveals psychological factors. A man's sexual partner may also be interviewed to determine expectations and perceptions during sexual intercourse. Questions about how and when the condition developed, any medications taken, and any other physical conditions or diseases are included. A patient's doctor will also want to discuss recent physical or emotional changes.
Duplex ultrasound is used to evaluate blood flow, venous leak, signs of atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), and scarring or calcification of erectile tissue. Erection is induced by injecting prostaglandin (alprostadil or Caverject®, Edex®), a hormone-like stimulator of erection produced in the body. Ultrasound is then used to see vascular dilation and measure penile blood pressure (which may also be measured with a special cuff). Measurements are compared to those taken when the penis is flaccid.
Premature ovarian failure
: A blood test may reveal whether the luteinizing hormone (LH) level is normal. LH prompts the mature follicle within the ovary to release an egg and low LH levels may occur in women who have POF.
Polycystic ovary syndrome
: There is currently no known specific test that will diagnose PCOS. Therefore, the doctor will usually rule out other disorders. Individuals may have several hormones tested including LH and follicle-stimulating hormone. Since individuals are at an increased risk of developing diabetes and high cholesterol, blood tests may be performed to assess for these conditions.
Addison's disease
: Individuals with POF have a higher incidence of developing Addison's disease. Addison's disease occurs when the small hormone producing gland located above the kidneys (adrenal glands) does not produce adequate amounts of hormones that regulate bodily functions.
: Infertility may cause women to become depressed. Individuals may seek help from support groups to discuss their feelings.
: Women with PCOS have a higher risk of developing high cholesterol. This includes increased triglycerides, high LDL (bad) cholesterol, and decreased HDL (good) cholesterol.
Endometrial cancer
: Women with PCOS have an increased risk of developing endometrial cancer. Irregular menstrual periods and the absence of ovulation cause women to produce the hormone estrogen, but not the hormone progesterone. Progesterone causes the endometrium to shed its lining each month as a menstrual period. The endometrium becomes thick without progesterone, which can cause heavy or irregular bleeding. Over time, this may lead to cancer.
Impaired glucose tolerance
: Individuals with PCOS have a higher risk of developing pre-diabetes. Individuals with pre-diabetes have blood glucose levels that are higher than normal but not high enough for a diagnosis of diabetes. This condition raises the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. Many individuals with pre-diabetes go on to develop type 2 diabetes within 10 years.
: Women who have POF may be at a higher risk of developing osteoporosis because they have low estrogen levels.
Psychological issues
: Psychological problems may exist along with ED, such as depression, stress, and anxiety.
: Individuals who are infertile may choose adoption rather than assisted reproductive technologies or ovulation medications. Couples may opt for adoption after trying other methods that have failed to work or if they have ethical issues with certain reproductive technologies. There are a variety of options to choose from when adopting, each with different guidelines or legal requirements.
Assisted reproductive technologies
: Assisted reproductive technology (ART) has enabled many couples to have their own biological child through a variety of medical advances. A team of healthcare professionals collaborate with the infertile couples with the hopes of achieving pregnancy. There are many ethical questions that arise with the use of ART; many technologies result in "spare" or "leftover" embryos that may then be used for embryonic stem cell research, which is highly controversial.
In vitro
fertilization (IVF) is the most effective form of ART. This procedure involves retrieving mature eggs from a woman, fertilizing them with a man's sperm in a dish in a laboratory, and implanting the embryos in the uterus three to five days after fertilization. IVF is used for a variety of fertility conditions including blocked fallopian tubes, endometriosis, ovulation disorders, and male infertility. This procedure has many ethical implications because "spare" or "leftover" embryos are disposed of immediately or frozen.
Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) involves injecting a single sperm directly into an egg to achieve fertilization, which is used in combination with IVF. This method improves the probability of fertilization in men with low sperm counts. This is also considered a controversial procedure by some.
Complications of ART may include multiple pregnancy, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), bleeding or infection, and birth defects. Multiple pregnancy is the most common complication associated with ART. Aborting one or more fetuses may improve the survival odds for the other fetuses, a procedure which has ethical implications. OHSS may occur when the woman's ovaries are stimulated and enlarged, which results in pain and bloating. In severe cases, fluid may build up in the abdominal cavity and chest leading to swelling and shortness of breath. Additionally, fluid accumulation may occur.
Insulin sensitizers
: Metformin (Glucophage®) is an oral medication for type 2 diabetes that treats insulin resistance. Evidence suggests that metformin is beneficial in women with PCOS since it improves ovulation and reduces androgen levels. Side effects may include nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.
Oral contraceptives
: Oral contraceptives may be used to regulate the menstrual cycle in women with PCOS. Additionally, oral contraceptives decrease androgen production. Therefore, oral contraceptives may decrease excessive hair growth. Women should discuss possible side effects with a qualified healthcare professional.
Ovulation drugs
: Clomiphene citrate (Clomid®) is the most commonly prescribed medication used to stimulate ovulation. Women who conceive with the medication have approximately a 10% chance of having twins. Side effects are common and generally include hot flashes, mood swings, breast tenderness, and nausea. Clomid® is taken orally and causes the pituitary gland to release more follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), which increase the development of ovarian follicles that contain eggs. Additionally, Clomid® stimulates ovulation in approximately 80% of patients. It is unknown if the risk of miscarriage is affected by Clomid®.
Reducing excessive hair growth
: Eflornithine (Vaniqa®) is a prescription cream that slows facial hair growth in women. Additionally, electrolysis is an option to permanently remove excess hair. This procedure includes inserting a fine needle into the hair follicle and applying an electric current to kill the follicle. This treatment may cause scarring, and skin infections may occur.
Pain medications
: Over the counter anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen (Advil®, Motrin®) may relieve the pain associated with menstrual cramps.
Phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors (PDE-5)
: Oral medications available to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) and female sexual arousal disorders include sildenafil (Viagra®), tadalafil (Cialis®), and vardenafil (Levitra®). The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Viagra® in 1998, and it became the first oral medication for ED on the market. Since then, Levitra® and Cialis® have been approved, providing more options for oral therapy. These drugs are chemically known as phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors (PDE-5). They enhance the effects of nitric oxide, a chemical messenger that relaxes smooth muscles in the penis. This increases the amount of blood flowing into the penis and allows an erection in response to sexual arousal and stimulation. These medications do not automatically produce an erection. Instead they allow an erection to occur after physical and psychological stimulation and arousal. Many men experience improvement in erectile function after taking these medications regardless of the cause of their impotence.
Generally, these medications are absorbed and processed rapidly by the body and are usually taken 30 minutes to one hour before intercourse. Cialis® has been reported in clinical trials to stay in the body longer than the others. It promotes erection within 30 minutes and enhances the ability to achieve erection for up to 36 hours.
Common side effects of phosphodiesterase inhibitors include headache, reddening of the face and neck (flushing), indigestion, and nasal congestion. These drugs may also cause hypotension or low blood pressure. Cialis® may cause muscle aches and back pain, which usually go away on their own within 48 hours.
Medications prescribed for the treatment of erectile dysfunction may cause significant side effects when mixed with certain heart drugs called nitrates, including nitroglycerin (Nitrostat®, Nitro-Bid®), isosorbide mononitrate (Imdur®), and isosorbide dinitrate (Isordil®). Nitrates are often prescribed to reduce chest pain, dilate the blood vessels, and lower blood pressure. Because ED medications also reduce blood pressure, combining these two types of medication can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure. Experts do not recommend taking sildenafil (Viagra®), vardenafil (Levitra®), or tadalafil (Cialis®) if nitrates are used. If an individual has coronary heart disease (CHD) or has had a heart attack in recent months, he/she should check with a doctor before taking any of these drugs for erectile dysfunction. These medications should also not be used along with certain medications for high blood pressure called alpha blockers.
Integrative therapies
Unclear or conflicting scientific evidence
: There has been limited research on acupuncture for sexual dysfunction. Currently there is inadequate available human evidence to recommend for or against acupuncture in the treatment of erectile dysfunction. There is inconclusive evidence in support of acupuncture for infertility. There is, however, some support for use of electroacupuncture for pain relief during assisted reproduction therapy, and it may hold some promise for improving pregnancy rates. Additional high quality research is needed in this area.
: There is currently insufficient available evidence to recommend for or against the use of astaxanthin for male fertility. Additional study is needed in this area.
Coenzyme Q10
: There is early evidence that supports the use of CoQ10 in the treatment of increasing sperm count and motility. Better studies are needed before a strong recommendation can be made.
: DHEA supplementation may be beneficial in women with ovulation disorders. There is currently not enough scientific evidence to form a clear conclusion about the use of DHEA for this condition. Preliminary evidence suggests that DHEA may offer some benefit to individuals with erectile dysfunction. Well-designed clinical trials, with appropriate endpoints are required before recommendations can be made.
: In limited available study, a traditional Chinese herbal combination containing dogwood seems to have helped with postmenopausal levels of follicle stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone in order to achieve pregnancy. Although this result is interesting, further research is needed in this area.
Green tea
: Early research using a combination product called FertilityBlendT has been associated with some success in helping women to conceive. Further well-designed research on green tea alone for this use is needed before a conclusion can be drawn.
: Based on early evidence, hypnosis may improve the
in vitro
fertilization-embryo transfer cycle. Additional study is needed before a firm conclusion can be drawn.
: Early evidence shows a positive effect for carnitine and/or acetyl-L-carnitine in terms of increased sperm motility. However, additional study is needed before a firm conclusion can be made.
: Based on early study, taking lycopene seems to have a role in the management of idiopathic male infertility. Further research is needed to confirm these results.
: Maca has been traditionally used in Peru to enhance fertility of both people and animals. Maca may improve semen quality; however, additional study is needed to confirm this finding.
: The potential effect of intercessory prayer on pregnancy rates in women being treated with
in vitro
fertilization-embryo transfer has been studied. Preliminary results seem positive, but further research is necessary.
: Group and individual/couple psychotherapy may reduce depression and anxiety associated with infertility. However, psychotherapy may not improve fertility rates. More and better-designed studies are needed in this area.
: Human studies report that Pycnogenol® may improve sperm quality and function in sub-fertile men. Further research is needed to confirm these results.
: Selenium supplementation has been studied for male infertility and sperm motility with mixed results. Evidence is currently lacking regarding potential effects on female infertility.
: Although results from early investigating the effects of
Tribulus terrestris
are encouraging, larger studies of better design are needed in order to evaluate the effectiveness of Tribestan® in treatment of female infertility. Although Tribestan® seems to increase sperm count and viability and increase libido, its effectiveness in the treatment of male infertility remains inconclusive, due to a lack of well-designed clinical trials.
: Many studies report beneficial results of zinc supplements on infertility, as expressed in improved sperm quality and number, although this effect may depend on the cause of infertility. A minor increase in abnormal spermatozoa in subfertile males taking zinc was noted in limited study. Additional research is needed before a firm conclusion can be drawn.
Fair negative scientific evidence
: Although there are several studies in this area, it is not clear what effects arginine has on improving the likelihood of getting pregnant. Early evidence does not support the finding that arginine has any benefits in women who are undergoing
in vitro
fertilization or in men with abnormal sperm.
: Probiotics have been used in the vagina immediately after oocyte retrieval during IVF, but they do not appear to have an effect on vaginal colonization or pregnancy rate in IVF cycles.
Men should avoid wearing tight underwear since it may affect the ability of the sperm to move and fertilize an egg.
It is important to maintain a normal body weight since being overweight or underweight may affect hormone production and may cause infertility.
Individuals should avoid drug and tobacco use and excessive alcohol consumption, as these may contribute to infertility.
Women who are trying to become pregnant should limit their caffeine intake to one to two cups of coffee a day.
Individuals should engage in regular exercise. However, intense exercise which leads to irregular menstrual periods may impair fertility.

Types and causes
: Many factors may contribute to male and female infertility, including genetic disorders or health conditions.
Male infertility
Cancer treatment
: Radiation and chemotherapy treatment may have a large impact on sperm production. The risk of infertility depends on how close the radiation treatment is to the testicles.
: Cryptorchism is a condition where the testes do not descend into the scrotum, which is the loose sac of skin hanging behind the penis. The temperature in the scrotum is lower than the body temperature and therefore the sperm can survive.
Erectile dysfunction
: Erectile dysfunction (ED), sometimes called impotence, is the repeated inability to get or keep an erection firm enough for sexual intercourse. ED may affect fertility. Estimates suggest that between 15 and 30 million (20-40%) Americans suffer from ED. There are approximately 26 new cases annually of ED in the United States per 1,000 men who are 40 to 69 years of age. Over 150 million men worldwide suffer from ED.
Klinefelter's syndrome
: Klinefelter's syndrome, also known as XXY condition, is a genetic disorder where men have an extra X chromosome. Normally, men only have one X chromosome in each cell. Since males affected by Klinefelter's syndrome have low testosterone levels, they are more likely to be infertile. Males who have Klinefelter's syndrome may demonstrate the following physical characteristics: small testes and penis, small amounts of hair in the pubic, armpit, and facial regions, enlarged breasts (gynecomastia), tall stature, and unusual body proportions (long legs, short trunk).
Lifestyle factors
: Lifestyle choices that contribute to heart disease and vascular problems also raise the risk of erectile dysfunction. Since an erection is dependent upon proper blood flow in the penis, heart diseases and vascular (blood vessel) problems that inhibit blood flow may contribute to erectile dysfunction (ED). Smoking, being overweight, eating unhealthy foods (such as a high fat diet), and avoiding exercise are related to an increase in symptoms of ED.
Medical conditions
: ED occurs more often in those with diabetes. Diabetes can cause a condition called neuropathy, which is damage to the nerves throughout the body, including the penis. Damaged nerves cannot communicate properly with the brain. So, even though sexual stimulation occurs, nerve damage prevents the information from being relayed to the penis and it does not become erect. In addition, poor blood sugar control can inhibit nitric oxide production. Lack of nitric oxide can prevent the pressure of blood in the corpora cavernosa (chambers in the penis containing blood vessels) from increasing enough to close off penile veins, allowing blood to flow out of the penis instead of remaining trapped for an erection. Blood vessels can also become narrowed or hardened (atherosclerosis) by conditions that often accompany diabetes, such as coronary heart disease (CAD). When atherosclerosis occurs in arteries that supply the penis or pelvic area, sexual function may be disrupted.
Spinal cord and brain injuries such as paraplegia (lower part of the body is paralyzed), quadriplegia (paralysis of both limbs), and stroke (lack of blood flow and oxygen to the brain that causes nerve and blood vessel damage) can cause impotence when they interrupt the transfer of nerve impulses from the brain to the penis. Other nerve disorders, such as multiple sclerosis (MS, an autoimmune disease that affects the nervous system), Parkinson's disease (a degenerative disorder of the nervous system causing uncontrollable shaking), and Alzheimer's disease (a brain disorder characterized by dementia), may also result in ED.
: Smoking is perhaps the most significant risk factor for developing ED. Cigarette smoking can repeatedly produce a temporary rise in blood pressure (BP), restricting blood flow to various areas of the body including the penis. When the blood vessels in the pelvic and groin area are narrowed, that contributes to reduced penile blood flow. The more a man smokes, the higher are his chances for developing erectile dysfunction; this is especially the case in men over 50 years of age. Men who smoke more than 20 cigarettes daily have a 60% higher risk of ED compared to men who never smoke. Among men who have never smoked, 12% have had erection problems.
: Sperm count may decrease when an individual experiences emotional stress.
Substance abuse
: Heavy or chronic (long-term) use of alcohol, marijuana, heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine, or other drugs often causes ED and decreased sexual drive.
Female infertility
Caffeine intake
: There is conflicting evidence as to whether consuming too much caffeine may be associated with decreased fertility. Additionally, studies suggest that high caffeine intake may increase the risk of miscarriage.
: Endometriosis is characterized by the implantation and growth of uterine tissue outside of the uterus; it often causes severe pain. It affects the function of the ovaries, uterus, and fallopian tubes and may lead to infertility.
Pelvic inflammatory disease
: Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is an infection of the female reproductive organs that causes pain and swelling. If left untreated, PID may cause scarring and permanently damage to the reproductive organs. Without treatment, some patients may become infertile or experience complications during pregnancy. PID usually develops when a sexually transmitted bacteria enters the uterus and reproduces in the upper genital tract. The most common bacteria that cause PID also cause the sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) gonorrhea and chlamydia.
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common condition characterized by irregular menstrual periods, excess hair growth, and obesity, though it can affect women in a variety of ways. A cyst is a closed sac- or bladder-like structure that is not a normal part of the tissue where it is found. PCOS affects about one in 10 women in the United States and is a leading cause of infertility in women.
Premature ovarian failure (POF)
: Premature ovarian failure (POF) occurs when the ovaries stop working normally in women under the age of 40. Approximately 250,000 women under the age of 40 in the United States have POF. POF is sometimes referred to as premature menopause, but there is a distinct difference. Premature menopause occurs when the menstrual period stops completely. However, women who develop POF may still have irregular menstrual periods. Between five and 10 percent of women with POF may become pregnant because the ovaries may still release eggs.
Thyroid problems
: Individuals who have too much thyroid hormone (hyperthyroidism) or too little thyroid hormone (hypothyroidism) may develop fertility problems.

Home >> Financial Aid >> Lane College Code of Conduct
Lane College Code of Conduct
Lane College is committed to the highest standards of professional conduct. Lane College recognizes that ensuring ethical behavior through established standards and guidance is the most important core principle for self-governance in any profession in order to assure the public of the profession�s integrity.
As such the College has developed a sound framework to guide financial aid professionals in their every day administration of the student financial aid programs in general and the student loan programs in particular. This framework consists of a Statement of Ethical Principles, a Code of Conduct, and a Student Loan Code of Code.
Statement of Ethical Principles
The Statement of Ethical Principles provides that the primary goal of the institutional financial aid profession is to help students achieve their educational potential by providing appropriate financial resources. To this end, the financial aid professional shall:
Code of Conduct for Institutional Financial Aid Professionals
An institutional financial aid professional is expected to always maintain exemplary standards of professional conduct in all aspects of carrying out his or her responsibilities, specifically including all dealings with any entities involved in any manner in student financial aid, regardless of whether such entities are involved in a government sponsored, subsidized, or regulated activity. In so doing, the institutional financial aid professional shall:
Student Loan Code of Conduct
Prohibition Against Certain Remuneration to the College
The College shall not solicit, accept, or agree to accept anything of value from any Lending Institution in exchange for any advantage or consideration provided the Lending Institution related to its student loan activity. This prohibition includes, but is not limited to:
This prohibition shall not be construed to prohibit the College from soliciting, accepting, or agreeing to accept favorable terms or conditions of a Student Loan inuring directly to Borrowers.
The College shall not solicit, accept, or agree to accept from any Lending Institution any computer software for the electronic management of student loan disbursements unless such software can manage student loan disbursements from all Lending Institutions.
Notwithstanding anything else in this Code of Conduct, the College may accept assistance as contemplated in 34 CFR 682.200(b)(definition of Lender)(50(i).
Prohibition Against Remuneration to College Employees
The College shall require and ensure that no officer, trustee, director, employee, or agent of the College accepts anything more than nominal value on his or her own behalf or on behalf of another during any 12 month period from, or on behalf of, Lending Institution.
This prohibition shall include, but not be limited to a ban on any payment or reimbursement by Lending Institutions to any College employee for lodging, meals, or travel to conferences or training seminars.
This prohibition shall not be construed to prohibit any officer, trustee, director, employee, or agent of the College from conducting non-Student loan business with any Lending Institution.
This prohibition shall not be construed to prevent the College from holding membership in any nonprofit professional association. The College may continue to have personnel representing it on current and successor state agency boards as they may be created to promote the College�s interest in all current and future state grant programs as may benefit the College�s students as well as all current and future loan processes and services necessary to perform electronic and online data exchanges with Direct Loans. These boards do not have a primary function in providing the College or any board member representation in determining any lender(s) or guarantor(s) for student borrowers.
Limitations on College Employees Participating on Lender Advisory Boards
The College shall prohibit any officer, trustee, director, employee, or agent of the College from receiving any remuneration fro serving as a member or participant of an advisory board of a Lending Institution, or receiving any reimbursement of expenses for so serving provided, however, that participation on advisory boards that are unrelated in any way to student loans shall not be prohibited.
This prohibition shall not prevent any officer, trustee, director, employee, or agent of the College, who is uninvolved in the affairs of the College�s financial aid office, from serving on a Board of Directors of a publicly traded or privately held company.
Preferred Lender Lists
The College shall not provide or otherwise disseminate or make available a Preferred Lender List that is used to deny or otherwise impede a Borrower�s choice or lender; or contains fewer than three unaffiliated Lending Institutions.
In the event that the College promulgates a list of preferred or recommended lenders or similar ranking or designation, the following must be adhered to:
Prohibition of Lending Institution�s Staffing of College Financial Aid Offices
The College shall prohibit and ensure that no employee, representative, or agent of a Lending Institution is ever identified to students of the College or their parents as an employee of the College. The College shall prohibit and ensure that not employee, representative, or agent of a Lending Institution provides staffing services to the College�s financial aid office.
This prohibition shall not be construed to prohibit any Lender from providing �entrance� and �exit� interviews allowed under 34 CFR 682.200(b)(Definition of Lender)(5)(i), provided, however, the College shall ensure that any such employee, representative, or agent of a Lending Institution conducting such interview identifies himself or herself as a representative of the Lending Institution and does not promote the Lending Institution�s products during such interview.
Prohibition Against Opportunity Loans
The College shall not arrange with a Lending Institution to provide any Opportunity Loans to Borrowers. Nothing in the Agreement, however, shall be construed to prevent the College form offering or arranging loans to international students, at fair market rates, when those students would be otherwise unable to secure a domestic loan.
Borrower � A student attending the College or a parent or guardian of a student who obtains a student loan to pay for or finance higher education expenses.
Lending Institution � Any entity that directly or through an affiliate engages in the business of making or securitizing student loans, or any entity or association of entities that guarantees student loans.
Opportunity Loans � Student loans that a Lending Institution agrees to make up to a specified aggregate amount to students with poor or no credit history, who the Lending Institution claims would otherwise not be eligible for the lender�s alternative loan program. Which are made in exchange for certain minimum loan volume or other benefit that a College agrees to provide to the Lending Institution.
Preferred Lender List �A list of recommend or suggested Lending Institutions that a College makes available for use, in print or in any other medium or form, by Borrowers, prospective Borrowers, or others.
Revenue Sharing � Any arrangement in which a Lending Institution pays a College or an affiliated entity or organization of a College a percentage of the principle of each loan directed towards the Colleges from a Borrower at the College or any form of commission related to the loan.

Thursday morning, Miami's own
NFL ruiner superagent Drew Rosenhausleft an interesting nugget on his twitter page:
I have been hired by the fans of the NHL's Florida Panthers to negotiate lower season ticket prices. I will keep you posted on the outcome.
Yeah, sure, ooookay; that's not instantly suspicious. If there is some cabal of Panthers fans upset about the prices of season tickets, there would certainly have to be a lot of them to afford Drew Rosenhaus (and we know there aren't that many). If there were, and they are angry enough to hire a lawyer, why haven't we heard about it? Why aren't even the message boards aware? It's also known that few fans have had to pay face value for tickets this year, so what's the urgency all of a sudden? And who'd Rosenhaus be "negotiating" with, anyway? The ownership is in flux even this week.
But not too in flux to issue their own twitter response:
Drew Rosenhaus contracted by Panthers fans to negotiate lower season ticket prices. We are aware and have no further comment at this time.
Unaware? Unlikely. Later, with a press release from KCBS Marketing, the jig was up.
"Drew is working with us," said Matt Sacco, the Panther's PR director, "and the premise of the marketing campaign is that he has been hired by Panthers fans to renegotiate season-ticket pricing with the club. He was here yesterday to film two TV commercials and a couple of radio spots, and be involved in a couple of print ads. The campaign is launching next Tuesday, but we're starting it now virally."
It would have been a win-win situation if it wasn't so obvious: they would have lowered prices anyway to keep fans coming while Florida continues to be... not good; using Rosenhaus not only alerts the entire world to their benevolence but makes them appear willing to listen to fans and "connected to the community," which was the major knock against Alan Cohen's group. And Rosenhaus gets to look like a champion for the common fan.
Now, it's just sort of eye-roll-worthy. But don't blame us for being jaded where anything Rosenhausian is concerned. We follow his twitter, after all.
Janie Campbell would like Drew Rosenhaus to either shut up or get to work on gas prices. Her work has appeared in irreverent sports sites around the Internet.

This walk is easy on the legs but full of wonders for the eyes and mind — beautiful buildings, weird history and more — through the lesser-known side of Old Town Pasadena.
1. Begin near the corner of East Green Street and South Raymond Avenue, along Pasadena's Central Park. Walk north past the lovely Hotel Green and Castle Green Apartments — a 1903 construction financed by Col. G.G. Green, who made his fortune in patent medicines. Continue north across Colorado Boulevard.
2. Turn right on East Holly Street, pausing to look left at Jensen's Raymond Theatre, which at the time of its 1921 debut was the West Coast's premier vaudeville theater, containing 2,000 seats, sweeping spiral staircases and interior fountains. It was later a movie theater and a concert venue. Now it's condos. Also check out Memorial Park, with its sweeping lawns and a historic band shell, where on weekends music is often performed.
3. Continuing straight on East Holly Street, walk toward Pasadena's stately City Hall. Plaques inside explain that the noble dome, designed in the early 1920s by the architectural firm of Bakewell and Brown, is meant to replicate the Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute in Venice. It's designed around a central courtyard containing rose bushes, old oak trees and a spraying fountain. Circular staircases rising to the right and left of the central arch present nice views of both yard and dome, and are worth the short climb.
Old Town Pasadena: The L.A. Walks column in the Aug. 17 Saturday section bout walking Old Town Pasadena incorrectly identified the Pasadena Museum of California Art as the Pasadena Museum of Contemporary Art.
4. Continue east, through City Hall, across the street and past the square Norman tower of All Saints Church on North Euclid Avenue. Continue to North Los Robles Avenue and turn left.
MAP: Find the perfect L.A. Walk near you
5. After one block, turn right onto Ford Place, and enter what remains of Pasadena's first "exclusive" subdivision, conceived in 1902 by W.J. Pierce as the city's most upscale residential neighborhood. The road is lined with Craftsman, Prairie, Shingle, Tudor Revival and Mission Revival homes, and was a private street until 1951.
More from L.A. Walks: Explore Los Angeles by foot
6. Turn right onto North Oakland Avenue, onto the campus of Fuller Theological Seminary, which since 1971 has owned all of the original Ford Place subdivision. It was founded in 1947 by evangelist Charles E. Fuller, creator of the "Old Famous Revival Hour" radio show.
7. After continuing down North Oakland Avenue, passing the fine Pasadena Museum of Contemporary Art and the back side of Pacific Asia Museum, turn right onto East Green Street. Enjoy a shady walk back to your starting point.
