text: Health Library Multiple Sclerosis—Adult (MS—Adult) Definition Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease of the central nervous system. It is a chronic condition that can be disabling. There are several types of MS: Relapsing-remitting MS —Symptoms suddenly reappear periodically. They last for a few weeks or months, then go back into remission (a period with no symptoms). Symptoms may get worse with each occurrence. Primary progressive MS —Symptoms gradually worsen after symptoms first appear. Relapses and remissions usually do not occur. Secondary progressive MS —After years of relapses and remissions, symptoms suddenly begin to progressively worsen. Progressive relapsing MS —Symptoms gradually worsen after symptoms first appear. One or more relapses may also occur. Causes The immune system normally attacks viruses or bacteria that should not be in the body. With MS, a problem with the immune system causes it to attack healthy nerves. In particular, MS attacks the nerve fibers in the brain, spinal cord, and the nerves of the eye. The exact cause of these immune problems is unknown. The following may contribute to the development of MS: Viral or other infection Genetic factors (heredity) Environmental factors Breaking down of parts of the nervous system Abnormal Immune Responses Cause Nerve Damage Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc. Risk Factors MS is more common in women and in people aged 15-50 years old. Other factors that may increase your chance of MS include: Exposure to certain viruses Family members who have MS or other autoimmune disorders, such as systemic lupus erythematosus Being of Northern European descent Growing up in a colder climate, as opposed to a tropical climate Having certain immune system genes Having inflammation of the optic nerve Having low vitamin D levels Smoking Symptoms Symptoms may range from mild to severe and may include: Numbness or tingling in the face or limbs Impaired vision in one or both eyes, including: Blurred vision Double vision Loss of vision Eye pain Fatigue Lightheadedness Muscle stiffness Muscle spasms Muscle weakness Incoordination or falling Trouble walking or maintaining balance Weakness in one or more limbs Bladder problems including: Urgency Hesitancy Incomplete emptying Incontinence Bowel problems, including constipation Sexual dysfunction Slurred speech Difficulty swallowing Forgetfulness, memory loss, and confusion Difficulty concentrating or solving problems Depression Symptoms may worsen with: Heat, including: Hot weather Hot baths or showers Fever Overexertion—intense physical activity Infection Diagnosis You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Tests may include: Blood tests—to rule out other diseases that may mimic MS MRI scan Lumbar puncture —to check the fluid around the brain and spinal cord, which may rule out other diseases Sensory evoked potentials—to record the electrical responses evoked after a sensory stimulus Visual evoked potential test —to look for problems in the brain that affect vision Optical coherence tomography (OCT)—to look at the retina and the optic nerve Treatment There is no cure for MS, you can manage the disease with medication, lifestyle changes, and counseling. Treatment will help relieve symptoms, prevent relapses, delay disability, and slow disease progression. Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Options include: Medications Medications can help slow progress, prevent new lesions, and manage symptoms. Types of medications that can slow the progression of MS or prevent new lesions from developing include: Interferon betas Immunomodulators/immunosuppressives Corticosteroids may be given to reduce inflammation during active phases. This may lessen the effects of the immune system on the nerve fibers and shorten the length of relapses. Types of medications to help manage symptoms can include: Muscle relaxants—to reduce muscle spasms Potassium channel blockers—to help improve vision, motor skills, and relieve fatigue Botox injections —to reduce tremor and muscle tone Pain relievers Antidepressants Medications to help with bladder or bowel problems Supportive Therapies Other therapies may help relieve some physical and emotional symptoms of MS. Each therapy has unique benefits and potential side effects which may interfere with other therapies you are using. Work with your health care team to help find therapies that work best for you. Supportive therapies include: Regular moderate exercise with your doctor's permission—swimming may be especially beneficial Physical therapy to help maintain muscle strength and tone, dexterity, and walking ability Occupational therapy to help with assisted devices and daily living activities Speech and/or swallowing therapy Cognitive therapy to address specific neuropsychiatric problems Stress reduction techniques Some alternative therapies that have shown some benefits for some include: Massage Magnetic therapy Reflexology Ginkgo biloba Talk to your doctor before you try any alternative therapies. Psychological Therapies Individual or group therapy will help you learn coping strategies for physical symptoms and emotional stress. Avoiding Periods of Relapse Some forms of MS have periods remissions that alternate with relapses. Take these steps to help you avoid relapses and worsening of symptoms: Adhere to the treatment plan you worked out with your doctor Get adequate rest Avoid hot weather Stay in air-conditioned places during periods of hot weather Avoid hot showers or baths Avoid overexertion and stress Avoid infection by: Using proper hygiene, especially when washing your hands Staying away from people who are sick Thoroughly cooking food Practicing safe sex Quitting smoking —smoking may worsen MS, causing the condition to progress to a more severe form Prevention There are no current guidelines to prevent MS.

Advice Columns
She knows affair is wrong but says 'it feels so right'
What you're doing with your boss may "feel" right, but as you clearly stated, it is wrong. It isn't fair to his wife, or to you or his children. While the two of you are doing "everything" together, he is cheating all four of his children of time that should be spent being a parent to them.
As to whether this man is in love with you and his wife, frankly I doubt it. He appears to be more in love with himself. Men cheat for a variety of reasons, and more often than not, it's more about the cheater than the spouse. Consider that fact carefully before wasting any more precious years with him, because you will never get them back.Husband insists on car with stick shift DEAR ABBY: My husband needed a car to replace the old one, so he insisted on a manual transmission, which I don't know how to drive. Do you think that's fair? He said, "Oh, you can learn." I am 58 and nervous, and I have heard it said that many a clutch got burned out by "learning." I don't want to do that. What do you say? — Shirley in New Jersey DEAR SHIRLEY:
While I understand your concern about a stick shift, your husband has told you you can learn to use one. I recommend that you learn by driving his car.
While many a gear may have been stripped by a novice driver, some have not. Think of it this way: You may be a natural. And if you're not — well, he asked for it.Ring bells on July 4 DEAR ABBY: President John F. Kennedy proclaimed the ringing of the bells nationwide on Independence Day, July 4, 1963, with the words, "Let's ring freedom bells!" I'm writing now to ask your help in getting the American people to ring bells again on this Fourth of July, and each Fourth every year from now on. Let us tune in with one another and our history by ringing bells at 2 p.m. this July 4 in honor of the 237th anniversary of our independence. Encourage churches and civic buildings with bells to ring them. The first groups to support this national effort include baseball teams, the National Cartoonists Society, and the Iron Workers, Firefighters and Sheet Metal Workers unions along with other AFL-CIO affiliates. As we celebrate our freedom, let us also honor the lives of those who sacrificed theirs for our precious liberty. Your millions of readers can help "let freedom ring." — Carmella LaSpada, Founder, No Greater Love DEAR CARMELLA:
I'm pleased to join you in this national effort. Readers, engraved on the Liberty Bell are the words, "Proclaim LIBERTY throughout all the Land unto all the inhabitants thereof." So let's do it. Shake any bell you happen to have. Our freedom is something to celebrate!© Universal Uclick 6/26

Using ADVAIR with Osteoporosis
How specifically does ADVAIR affect osteoporosis? (e.g. does it impede calcium absorption?) Would an increase in calcium ingestion (what % or mg) offset this affect?
Oral steroids known as glucocorticoids affect calcium and bone density in several ways. To name a few; glucocorticoids reduce new bone formation and reduces calcium absorption from the intestinal system so less calcium reaches the blood stream to be used.
The amount of bone loss (osteoporosis) is related to the steroid dose and the length of time it is used.
Inhaled steroids like Advair are much safer than oral steroids; however, small amounts of the steroids are absorbed into the blood stream so there will be some side effects. Again, the effects will be dose dependent so the higher the inhaled steroid dose the more likely you will have side effects like bone loss.
Steroids are just one cause of osteoporosis. Other causes include family history, race, low calcium intake, lack of physical activity, cigarette smoking, excessive alcohol intake, low body weight and low estrogen (menopause).
To prevent osteoporosis your provider should use the least amount of steroids to control your asthma symptoms. Additionally, try to prevent bone loss by stopping smoking; doing weight bearing exercise 3-4 times a weeks for 30 minutes; limit alcohol intake; and get enough calcium in your diet. Adults at risk for osteoporosis should take 1,500 mg per day (divided over the day). Vitamin D (400 units) is needed for absorption of calcium into the body. Talk to your doctor before starting exercise if you have been inactive or about calcium supplements to make sure they will not interfere with your other medicines.
If you are on inhaled or oral steroids you can be checked for osteoporosis/bone loss by having a bone density test. People on long term steroids generally get a bone density test once a year.

I couldn't imagine having to give up my cat, Rags, because I was unable to feed her. I couldn't imagine being a parent and having to take my child's best friend away cause you needed to feed the family first. So I called my next door neighbor, Emily and asked if she wanted to join me in raising monies to purchase food.
There are two fishing communities south of New Orleans, St. Bernard Parish on the east side of the Mississippi River and Plaquemines Parish on the west side. I called each SPCA and was thankful to learn that both were no-kill facilities. Both were near full capacity and would be thankful for the donation. They would also notify local families that food was available for pickup.
Through the generosity of friends and neighbors, Emily and I raised $1300 . Yesterday we took half of the funds and delivered 14 fifty pound bags of dog food and 20 twenty five pound bags of cat food to PAWS in Plaquemines Parish. We were greeted with huge smiles and thank yous!
In a few weeks we will deliver the same to the distribution center in St. Bernard Parish.
Many thanks to the following for assisting in making this happen:
To neighbors Tommy, Patricia, Randy , Dean, Joann and Skateboard Joey, Bill and Maxine Quick, Robert Jefferies Hair Salon, Dave and Joanie Tomchuck, Ralph and Debbie Jackson, Jerry and Linda Quick, and friends at the Touro Wellness Center.

Gina Carano Gossip
Gina Carano gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Superman's black robe
Bananadoc/ Splash
Henry Cavill was photographed yesterday in Detroit on the set of Batfleck yesterday wearing his Superman costume underneath a black robe. The money shot, of course, is going to be when we finally get to see him and Ben Affleck's Batman together. This hasn't happened yet and Comic-Con doesn't count. Full Story
Henry & Gina's baby
If only he could take back those 2 weeks in July, you know? If only they could be completely deleted from his gossip history, cookies that can never be recovered. If only the Henry Cavill and Gina Carano story could be written without what happened when he decided to go handholding and hiking with Kaley Cuoco. Full Story
Photo Assumption: The Reunion of Gina + Henry
So far only the Daily Mail has these shots. As soon as I can buy them, I'll post them properly. But you get the idea -- Henry Cavill is shooting a movie in Rome and he was photographed out for dinner with Gina Carano. So I guess we're supposed to think that they're happening again. Full Story
Gina & Henry at Fast & Furious 6
Tim P. Whitby/ LEON NEAL/ Getty
Gina Carano is in Fast & Furious 6? I had no idea. My interest in seeing it has now increased. Here she is at the premiere in a Vivienne Westwood dress. It's not my favourite. But I do appreciate that Westwood can dress a different body type other than Kate Bosworth. Gina's boyfriend, Henry Cavill, was also there. Full Story
His and her travel footwear
Jun Sato/ Getty
Gina Carano and her boyfriend Henry Cavill arrived in Tokyo yesterday. We're now just 10 weeks out from the Man Of Steel release. Which means they'll be pushing Cavill out heavy soon. And still, amazingly, they haven't forced him to not have a girlfriend. Please don't push him to not have a girlfriend, especially this girlfriend. Full Story
Wonder Woman is going to happen one of these days
Will it look like this? Stuntman turned action director Jesse Johnson has put together a self-financed—well, they're calling it a "fan film" but I think the more accurate description is sizzle reel—video of what he thinks a Wonder Woman movie should look like. He cast Danish singer Nina Bergman to play Wonder Woman and blink-or-you'll-miss-him Peter Stormare as a Nazi (also that dude from Sons of Anarchy), and the result is proof of both what works about Wonder Woman and what doesn't. Full Story
Gina & Henry Oscar Week
Wenn, FameFlynet
As I've been saying, LA is where you need to be for your career this weekend, if you can manage it. And with the release of Man Of Steel approaching, Henry Cavill needs the face time. Since his girlfriend is the most interesting thing about him -- to me, anyway -- it's good that she's along for the ride, although conventional Hollywood publicity strategy might say otherwise. Full Story
Best BAFTA Couple: Gina Carano & Henry Cavill
Like I keep saying, Henry Cavill has never been more interesting to me than he is now because he's dating Gina Carano. This is hot. I need more. I need to know what this is. I need to watch them work out together. I need to know what they talk about. Here they are in London at the BAFTAs last night and at Heathrow on their way out today, presumably back to LA. Full Story
Gina & Henry's first carpet
Wenn, FameFlynet, Larry Busacca/ Christopher Polk/ AFP/ Getty
As a couple! I reported the other day they were dating -- click here for a refresher. Didn't expect to see them together on a carpet so soon. But she was nominated for a Critics' Choice Award last night in Haywire and, well, he came along as her date and presented an award. Full Story
Superman & Haywire
What? Apparently this has been happening for a while now though it's the first I've heard of it, mostly because Henry Cavill doesn't have that gossip "it", you know?, so I barely pay attention. Until now. I've never been more interested in Henry Cavill... Did you know Henry Cavill is dating Gina Carano? From the UFC? And Haywire? Film Ledger Full Story
Gina Carano's fake Haywire voice
Gossip is a buffet and today we're serving three entrees.Steven Soderbergh's new movie Haywire opens this weekend. It stars MMA star Gina Carano. I'm not an MMA fan nor had I ever heard of Gina Carano until Haywire came about, so I didn't notice anything wrong with the trailer until I saw on TMZ that Carano's part—her ENTIRE part—was dubbed over in the final cut of the movie.

With six kids, Jennifer Glenn of Dimondale has plenty to worry about and with most of them old enough to use a computer, she knows there is a chance they could be contacted by a stranger online.
That has already happened to her 15-year-old, Jordan.
People chatting with me on Facebook an Yahoo...I have no idea who they are," said Jordan Glenn. "You just want to be careful."
In many cases, those strangers can be sexual predators looking to meet up with unsuspecting children. In fact, they often frequent the same websites as children.
It is the job of the Michigan State Police Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force to go after those predators. On Tuesday, the Michigan Moose Association, in partnership with the Safe Surfin' Foundation, presented the Task Force with what is called a "Cop-in-a-Box".
"Cop-in-a-Box" is high-tech computer equipment designed by the U.S. Department of Justice to help detectives investigate child exploitation crimes.
"What these devices do is they actually uncover forensic evidence from suspect media," said Sgt. Jay Poupard, a member of the ICAC Task Force. "If we were to seize a suspect's cell phone or computer, then we conduct forensics on those devices."
Police will then take the storage device and plug it into the back of the computer tower and make a copy of its contents.
Detective Chris Prevette, who works on a lot of child exploitation cases, says this hardware will help speed up investigations.
"We'll be able to do two cases in the time it used to take us to do one," said Prevette.
Jennifer Glenn is all police seizing electronic storage devices if it means protecting children from predators.
"If you've crossed that line and become a sexual predator, then you've lost the privilege and the right to have that privacy for yourself," said Glenn.
According to the FBI, there are more than 40,000 chat rooms and that are frequented by sexual predators and there is a 100 percent chance a child will meet one of those predators if they enter a chat room.

BANGOR, ME—For the third straight game UMass Boston fell behind and couldn't fight back to earn a victory, as Husson University (2-2-0) earned a 2-1 victory over the Beacons (0-2-1) at Boucher Field on Saturday afternoon.
After falling behind 2-0, Douglas Silveira (Revere, MA) scored an unassisted goal for the Beacons at the 69:34 mark to cut the deficit to one, but UMass Boston couldn't find the equalizer in the first round of the New Balance Challenge Cup.
Stefanos Galouzis (Watertown, MA) led all players with four shots and three shots on goal. While Reyn Johnson (Mangilao, Guam), Lucas Ordosgoitia (Cartegna, Colombia) and Silviera each had two attempts.
Phil Frost led Husson with two shots and one goal, while Trevor Higgins added the other marker with his lone shot of the afternoon.
The Beacons would amass 12 shots to just eight for the Eagles and also held an 8-2 margin on shots on goal.

City officials unveiled a new smartphone app Wednesday meant to help victims of sexual assaults in the city find medical help, get counseling and contact police.
The ASK DC app, developed by the city's Office of Victim Services and the nonprofit group Men Can Stop Rape, is available for iPhone and iPad, Android and BlackBerry. With the swipe of a finger, a user can learn how to get medical attention, get in touch with a victim advocate, speak with a counselor on the phone or via online chat or call police. The app also provides information about the process of reporting a sexual assault and advice on how to best handle the situation.
"We want to make sure people know we are there to support him," said Deputy Mayor for Public Safety and Justice Paul Quander, who added that he planned to urge his own daughters to download the app.
Wednesday's unveiling came at a John A. Wilson Building news conference months after questions were raised about the D.C. police department's handling of sexual assaults in a lengthy report by the nonprofit Human Rights Watch.
A later D.C. Council review raised questions about the group's sweeping conclusions, and Quander said Wednesday that the report's allegations had nothing to do with the app or the city's larger effort to improve sexual assault reporting.
Assistant Police Chief Peter Newsham, who spoke at the Wednesday news conference, said sexual assaults remain "largely underreported" and suggested a significant rise in sexual assaults between 2011 and 2012 was due to better reporting rather than a marked increase in sexual violence.
"It's not necessarily a bad thing when you have an increase in the reporting of sexual assaults," he said.

Just a month after gold suffered its biggest one-day drop in three decades, the precious metal has once again fallen victim to heavy selling pressure. But a tug of war between physical buyers and institutional sellers will put a floor under the precious metal, said analysts.
"The physical gold buyers and ETF [exchange traded fund] buyers have different mentalities. The physical buyers love the fact that whenever gold drops it is a buying opportunity," Kelly Teoh, market strategist at trading firm IG Markets told CNBC.
Spot gold extended its fall below $1,400 an ounce on Thursday, declining to as low as $1,386.89 in early Asian trade. The yellow metal has lost over 5 percent in the past week.
The stellar performance of equities, softer inflation expectations, and strength in the U.S. dollar – which makes gold purchases more expensive - is pushing institutional investors out of gold in search of higher returns. This has lead to selling by exchange traded funds that are backed by physical gold.
Gold ETFs saw their largest ever monthly withdrawals in April as investors reduced their holdings by 176 tonnes, according to the Financial Times which cited Barclays Capital.
(Poll: Was Gold in a Bubble?)
However, Teoh said, buyers of physical gold think differently. "They don't have confidence in central banks, which are just pumping liquidity in the market [eroding the value of money]. There is no conviction in currencies. So it's a very different mindset."
"As a friend of mine says, gold is like a religion, you either believe in it or not," added Teoh.
Premiums for gold bars rallied to all-time highs in major cities in Asia including Hong Kong and Singapore on Thursday after the drop in prices fueled another round of buying, limiting supply, Reuters reported.
(Read More: Traders Say Gold Will Keep Dropping)
The fall in gold prices last month, which declined to below $1,450 on April 15, also spurred a wave of physical buying across several markets. In the world's largest consumer India, for example, gold imports surged 138 percent in April from a year earlier. While, the Perth Mint of Australia reported record gold bullion sales last month as lower prices drove a jump in demand.
So, Where Is the Floor?
Timothy Riddell, head of global markets research, Asia at ANZ expects gold to trade between $1,300 and $1,500 in the coming months before recovering to around $1,600 by the year-end, supported by persistent physical buying and concerns about long term supply.
However, based on technical analysis, he expects further downside in the near-term.
(Read More: 'Gold Is Toast!' Why It Could Drop to $500: Pro )
"Gold liquidations are continuing and the fact that we couldn't get back to $1,440 over the past 36 hours suggests the downside pressures for a retest of lows of $1,320 are very much in place," he said, adding that another close below $1,380 could trigger a move lower to $1,300 after which a base would likely form.

CBF Cautions Swimmers and Others to
Avoid Water Contact After Storms
Local testing often misses water at its worst; public is expected to know
(ANNAPOLIS, MD)��� With the Memorial Day weekend kicking off, the Chesapeake Bay Foundation (CBF) is cautioning swimmers and others in Maryland to avoid coming into contact with tidal or fresh water for 48 hours after a significant rain storm this summer, a precaution also suggested by state and county health departments, but not generally known to the public.
"I'm amazed how few people know our water can be unhealthy for days after a storm. This important information isn't getting out there, but it needs to," said Alison Prost, CBF Maryland Executive Director. "A summer thunderstorm flushes pollution from our urban and suburban landscapes into nearby creeks, rivers, and the Chesapeake Bay. Bacteria from failing septic systems, pet waste, or manure can end up in waters where we swim or recreate."
State regulations require county health departments to take water samples at public beaches, sometimes as frequently as once a week, and to alert the public when bacteria levels are high. But while Maryland suggests county health officials test beach water after storms, state regulations don't require those tests. The public is expected to know not to come into contact with water at that time.
So while the state officially counted 439 occurrences the past summer when Maryland beaches had high bacteria counts, the number could have been far higher since officials don't necessarily monitor after storms when bacteria counts are the highest.
This week has been designated as National Recreational Water Illness and Injury Prevention Week. The annual observance highlights the importance of healthy swimming, and recreational water illness prevention.
Water polluted with unhealthy bacteria can increase risk of minor stomach ailments, and in some cases of more serious illnesses such as life-threatening skin and blood infections and intestinal illnesses. Nutrient pollution and warmer weather also stimulate the growth of harmful algal blooms which in some cases can cause liver disease, skin rashes, nausea, and vomiting.
Large fish kills in the Patapsco River and elsewhere could be signs that water quality problems that usually impact the region's water each summer could be arriving earlier this year.
Health officials advise swimmers, boaters, and others who come into contact with water to check county health department websites for water advisories in their area, but also generally to avoid the water for two whole days after a storm. Initial water quality monitoring this spring has found generally safe levels of bacteria, but bacteria can spike quickly after storms.
The long-term solution to this problem is to reduce pollution at its source, and to improve stormwater systems so they slow runoff, and treat it before it reaches creeks, rivers and the Bay. Human and animal waste is a major contributor to the Bay's problems in general, and to beach closings in particular. If we have more effective septic and sewage systems, more sustainable farms, and improve stormwater management, eventually we will be able to swim without worry.
That is the goal of a blueprint for clean water for the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries agreed to by Bay states and the District of Columbia. By July 1, all Maryland counties are required to submit final, detailed plans for how they will contribute to this effort by reducing nutrient and sediment pollution in their local areas. Those plans must address the very sources of pollution that result in beach closings and unhealthy water.
"We hope all counties will see the link between their own efforts to reduce pollution and the welfare of their residents," Prost said. "We all need clean water. We shouldn't have to worry that our children will get ill after swimming at a public beach."

Synopsis by Jason Buchanan
A grieving mother who has lost her partner and the rebellious daughter who flouts authority both become locked on parallel paths of destruction in this look at contemporary family values, reproductive rights, and pre-teen angst from co-directors Laurie Colbert and Dominique Cardona. Dr. Finn Jefferies works at a Toronto abortion clinic, and shares her life with a longtime partner and an eleven year-old daughter. When her partner dies, Dr. Finn becomes lost. Despite the fact that she wants the best for her daughter Zelly, Dr. Finn finds the intensity of her job and her unbridled grief gradually impeding her from being a responsible parent. Now, as Dr. Finn falls into the arms of a new lover, Zelly and her friends prowl the streets smoking dope, stealing, and ditching school. But sometimes, in the darkest depths of grief, suffering has a way of challenging ones concept of who they truly are and what they really know. Through it all one thing remains certain: if their mutual grief doesn't bring Zelly and her mother closer together it will drive them further apart than they ever imagined.

Once a year, NARAL Pro-Choice Virginia hosts a Legislative Debriefing event following the General Assembly session as an opportunity for our members and activists to meet and hear from our pro-choice legislature allies. This year, we had nearly 40 pro-choice supporters, which is our largest attendance to date. The audience had an opportunity to hear from six senators and delegates who spoke about our victories and defeats and what lies ahead for reproductive rights in the state of Virginia. (Be sure to check out photos from the event here.)
For the last four months I have been watching the General Assembly and the unfolding of the anti-reproductive rights plan to attack a woman's right to choose in Virginia. I have watched live videos of anti-reproductive health bills on the floor and heard our allies as well as anti-choice legislator's debate on the bills. So for me, it was an incredible opportunity to hear from six of our strong pro-choice allies as they shared their stories and views from the session. I especially found it sad but interesting that only a handful of conservative organizations have the power to scare many of our legislators into never voting in support for any reproductive rights issues, and that this hold has only gotten stronger in the last year or so. It was an amazing experience to be in a room full of passionate and excited people who care so strongly about reproductive rights. I left the event feeling unbelievably empowered by all of the attendees and legislatures.
This year's speakers included:
- Senator Mary Margaret Whipple, D-Arlington, Senate Democratic Caucus Chair
- Senator George Barker, D-Fairfax
- Delegate Charniele Herring, D-Alexandria, Reproductive Rights Caucus Chair
- Delegate Adam Ebbin, D-Alexandria
- Delegate Vivian Watts, D-Fairfax
- Delegate Patrick Hope, D-Arlington, Progressive Caucus Chair
Each speaker had a different topic, so I want to hit the highlights for me of their presentations.
Delegate Ebbin talked about how important the 2011 elections are going to be in protecting and defending reproductive rights in Virginia over the next several years. He also spoke about the current redistricting battle going on in the House of Delegates and state Senate, which, come election time, could lead to an increase in the number of legislators opposed to comprehensive health care for Virginia women.
Delegate Watts talked about Senate Bill 924, which calls for the Board of Health to regulate facilities providing five or more first-trimester abortions per month as a category of hospital. She noted new regulations could not just affect abortion providers, but also OB/GYN offices. Describing recent attacks against women's health care, she stated that this is the "worst year that I have seen [regarding] abortion legislation."
Delegate Hope talked about a bill he patroned this year, HB 1488, which prohibits a correctional facility from using restraints (shackles) on any prisoner who is pregnant and in labor. The exception would exclude women who are a flight risk or pose serious harm to herself or others. This bill was tabled in the Military, Police and Public Safety Committee. Even though the bill was defeated this year, Delegate Hope stated the discussion led to a meeting he and other members will have with the Director of the Department of Corrections to get further guidance and create better regulations.
Delegate Herring spoke of one of the bills she patroned, which was HB 2436. The bill stated that any qualified health benefits plan offered through an exchange shall be neither required to provide nor prohibited from providing insurance coverage for abortion services. This bill was a proactive bill to prevent anticipated bans on private insurance coverage for abortion services. Unfortunately, her bill was tabled in committee. Sadly, we did see a ban on private insurance coverage of abortion care, in the form of Governor McDonnell's amendment to House Bill 2434, which would have simply created the state's insurance exchange.
Senator Whipple discussed the TRAP (Targeted Regulation of Abortion Providers) bill and the importance of the Senate Committee on Education and Health in defeating anti-choice legislation. She stated that many negative bills pass the House, but are defeated by women's health allies in the Senate Committee on Education and Health. Several years ago, legislators wrote into the rules of the Senate that any bills related to abortion would automatically have to go to this Committee, which has been able to defeat a multitude of anti-reproductive-rights bills (even when the Committee had a Republican* majority).
Senator Barker talked about one of the positives coming out of this year's 2011 General Assembly, which was Senate Bill 967. This bill would have added Family Life Education to the standards of learning guidelines and required all FLE programs be medically-accurate and science-based. The bill passed the full Senate and was defeated by a tie vote in House sub-committee (which is great progress). Senator Barker noted FLE has helped reduce teen pregnancy by a large percent. He also explained how some more moderate representatives used to vote for reproductive rights in the past but are now under extraordinary pressure from conservative organizations to vote no on any reproductive right bills. The fear is that any conservative legislator who votes even once for reproductive rights will automatically have a primary challenger who will most likely beat them in the primaries. Senator Barker said that "if we were able to have secret votes on the floor of the Senate on these types of bills, then we would have 25 to 30 votes on every one of these bills, to kill these bad bills."
I, like many of the attendees, left this year's Legislative Debriefing feeling passionate and angry over the current erosion of reproductive rights. This is an important time for people to get angry and to fight back, as reproductive rights are under attack all across the country right now. (In fact, 916 bills dealing with reproductive rights have been proposed across the country this year alone.) Anti-choice groups are no longer looking to outright overturn Roe v. Wade because they know that they can whittle down reproductive rights through the states, one bill at a time. This is why it is so important for Virginians to volunteer for pro-choice candidates in the summer and fall and to come out and vote for pro-choice candidates in this year's statewide election.
As a helpful guide to know how your legislator ranks, we had a first glimpse of our 2011 scorecard during the debriefing. The scorecard allows you to see how your elected official stacks up on choice. Check back soon to see the full scorecard online.
*Supporting access to comprehensive reproductive health care options is not a partisan issue.

Bowler hats – classy and elegant
The bowler hat is a solid, rounded hat that was typically worn during the late 19th century and the early 20th century. The bowler hat became a long-standing member of British tradition when it first appeared in London in 1860. It was made by hatters Thomas and William Bowler, which is where the bowler hat gets its name. In the USA, the bowler hat is known as a derby hat, whereas in Germany the hat made from stiff felt is known as 'Melone', which translates to 'melon'.The traditional headpiece with the curved up brim is rarely found outside of the UK and is now predominantly worn by people involved in horse riding.
The roundly shaped classic is a staple in the English gentleman's wardrobe and appeals to gentlemen with a taste for the extraordinary. The bowler hat by Stetson is the perfect companion when you're out and about. There are packable bowler hats that can be rolled up and put into your luggage with ease.
Don't hesitate and add some extravagance to your wardrobe with a bowler hat by Stetson.

Northland Resources Announces Third Quarter 2012 Results
Luxembourg, November 14, 2012 – Northland Resources S.A. (TSX: NAU, OSL: NAUR, Frankfurt: NPK, STO: NAURo – "Northland" or the "Company") announced today its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2012.
The President and CEO of Northland Resources S.A., Karl-Axel Waplan, made the following comments on the report for the third quarter of 2012:
"The third quarter of 2012 was yet another period in which we were able to achieve a number of important milestones, and the Company is now very close to establishing itself as a producer of iron concentrate. At mid-October we blasted the first iron ore in our Tapuli mine and, within a few weeks, we expect to start the process plant and to begin loading the 90-tonne trucks for onward transport to Pitkäjärvi and then by rail to the port in Narvik. The first shipments to customers are expected to be made in the first quarter 2013.
During the quarter we executed two drawdowns of in total about USD 240 million from the bond loan facility. This will enable us to start production at the Kaunisvaara project.
The logistics chain is very important for Northland and I am thus very pleased that we during the third quarter received the confirmation from the Swedish Transport Administration that they have allocated the four rail slots that we requested on the rail line from Pitkäjärvi to Narvik. Also the road from the mine in Kaunisvaara to the trans-loading terminal in Pitkäjärvi will be upgraded following the Swedish Governments decision to invest SEK 1.3 billion which will upgrade the road to ensure capacity for 90-tonne trucks. Following the initial upgrade and thorough test runs, Northland and the truck operator Cliffton Mining were awarded dispensation to use trucks with a gross weight of 90 tonnes instead of the Swedish standard of 60 tonnes. The heavier trucks will reduce the wear on the road as well as the environmental impact."

Northland is set to become a producer of iron ore, with a portfolio of production, development and exploration mines and projects in northern Sweden and Finland. The first construction phase of the Kaunisvaara Project is near completion and production is expected to start in November 2012. The Company will produce high-grade, high-quality magnetite iron concentrate in Kaunisvaara, Sweden, where the Company will exploit two magnetite iron ore deposits, Tapuli and Sahavaara. Northland has entered into off-take contracts with three partners for the entire production from the Kaunisvaara Project over the next seven to ten years. The Company is also preparing a Definitive Feasibility Study ("DFS") for its Hannukainen Iron Oxide Copper Gold ("IOCG") project in Kolari, northern Finland and for the Pellivuoma deposit, which is located 15 km from the Kaunisvaara processing plant.

Bulldogs Slated to Meet No. 60 Princeton and Penn
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The Yale men's tennis team will get its Ivy League season underway this weekend with a pair of matches against No. 60 Princeton and Penn. Having compiled an 11-4 record so far in the regular season, the Bulldogs are well prepared to make their mark against their perennial Ancient Eight rivals. Both matches will be away encounters for the Elis. Yale will challenge Princeton on Saturday at 1:00 p.m., and will then travel to Penn for a match on Sunday at 1:00 p.m.
The Bulldogs have endured a busy schedule as of late, and their recent successes will likely provide them with confidence as they take on some of their most difficult opponents of the season. This past weekend, Yale dropped its match against No. 62 St. John's before regrouping to claim 7-0 sweeps over both Bryant and Fordham. Saturday's match against Princeton will be only the third away match of the season for Yale. The Bulldogs are still looking for their first win on the road at a non-neutral site.
Yale has secured the doubles point in 10 of its last 11 matches. This bodes well for the squad's chances of success in conference play, since Ivy League encounters are often evenly-matched and come down to a one- or two-point difference. The Elis will have to be on their game from the start, as Princeton fields the No. 45 team in the country of Augie Bloom and Jonathan Carcione. At No. 1 doubles, freshman Tyler Lu and sophomore Martin Svenning have proven stalwarts for the Bulldogs, losing only twice through the 11 matches they played alongside one another this season. Anchoring the Bulldogs' efforts will be the senior tandem of Patrick Chase and captain Kyle Dawson. Rounding out the doubles lineup will be Yale's very capable No. 3 duo of junior Daniel Faierman and freshman Alex Hagermoser. This talented pairing has distinguished itself by stringing together a nine-match winning streak.
Lu, Yale's No. 1 player, remains at No. 98 in the national rankings. He is currently riding a six-match winning streak heading into the Ivy season. Faierman is also on a hot streak, having claimed his last five singles matches. The remaining members of Yale's singles lineup, which include Svenning, junior Zachary Krumholz and freshman Photos Photiades, all recorded one or more wins at home this past weekend. The Bulldogs will look to translate their recent triumphs into success against Penn, Princeton and their other Ancient Eight rivals.
With several Ivy League squads ranked in the nation's top 75 teams, the conference season promises to be a scintillating one. No. 19 Columbia currently leads the field, with No. 34 Harvard, No. 41 Dartmouth, No. 46 Cornell and Princeton lurking not too far behind. Brown, Penn and Yale are all currently unranked, though the Bulldogs were ranked No. 68 just last week. Though it will be difficult, the Elis will be eager to hoist the Ivy League trophy at the end of April.

Vice President Joe Biden defended Secretary of Defense nominee Chuck Hagel in a recent interview with CNN published Wednesday, as the former Senator prepares to confront Republican critics in a confirmation hearing today.
In the interview, Biden slammed suggestions that the nominations of Hagel and recently confirmed Secretary of State John Kerry meant that the Obama administration would adopt a less assertive foreign policy strategy.
"Where have they been for four years?" Biden told CNN's Gloria Borger of Obama's Republican critics.
"The real President Obama has exercised force responsibly as boldly and as bravely as any president in American history. This is the guy who's not backed away. And he's also ended wars that almost every military man out there will tell you we should not be engaged in again."
Hagel has faced mounting criticism from Republicans all the way back to when his nomination was only rumored. Recently, conservative groups have popped up to run ads aimed at Senators up for re-election in 2014 to oppose his nomination. Hagel has been amid controversy for everything from his stances on Israel and Iran to an anti-gay past.
Hagel's confirmation hearing will begin at 9:30 this morning.
