Dodgers Come Up Empty on Last Grasp : Carter Lifts Mets to Win, 3-2, in Game 1

October 05, 1988|SAM McMANIS | Times Staff Writer

The New York Mets' domination of the Dodgers, which has been evident in many forms this season, was pressed to its limit Tuesday night in Game 1 of the National League championship series.

One out away from beating the Mets, behind effective pitching from starter Orel Hershiser and reliever Jay Howell, the Dodgers instead fell hard in a dramatic ninth-inning collapse that turned an impending victory into a 3-2 loss in front of 55,582 fans at Dodger Stadium.

Dodger hopes hinged on Dodger outfielder John Shelby, who was charging Gary Carter's blooper as it was descending in shallow center field and as two Met baserunners were charging toward home plate.

If Shelby had caught the ball, the tying and winning runs would not have scored, a Dodger victory would have been secured, and the Mets' 10-1 record over the Dodgers would have been just so much trivia.

Instead, Shelby was sprawled on the center-field grass, the ball hitting his glove and bouncing behind him. And, after Shelby retrieved the ball and hesitated before throwing to home plate, Dodger catcher Mike Scioscia became a hit-and-run victim when Kevin McReynolds flattened him to score the go-ahead run.

So, another Dodger pratfall against the Mets had been completed, courtesy of Carter's broken-bat, 2-run double.

Fittingly, the Dodgers' fall was literal and figurative. Shelby and Scioscia were down on the decisive play, and so were the rest of the Dodgers in the wake of the loss. They vowed to be back up tonight, when rookie Tim Belcher faces the Mets' David Cone, in Game 2.

Discouraging for the Dodgers was the knowledge that they had lost even though Hershiser had shut out the Mets for 8 innings to unofficially run his scoreless-inning streak to 67.

And, they had come up short, even though their offense was able to manufacture 2 runs off Met starter Dwight Gooden.

"We know, as a team, we could beat Orel Hershiser," Met first baseman Keith Hernandez said. "I know we beat Howell, but we really beat their ace (Hershiser). Obviously, that's a big win for us and a tough loss for them.

"Obviously, that puts us in a position of putting the hammer on them. If we win (tonight), it's in our hands. We could go for the throat."

You could say the Dodgers, after doing everything possible to beat the Mets through 8 innings, felt some tightness in the vicinity of the throat in the ninth inning.

Hershiser, who had dispatched the Mets in an economical 89 pitches after 8 innings, gave up a leadoff single to Met rookie Gregg Jefferies in the ninth. It was the third hit in 4 at-bats for Jefferies, who had not faced Hershiser before.

After Hernandez's hard-hit grounder to first base moved Jefferies to second, Hershiser dueled with Met right fielder Darryl Strawberry, that Dodger wanna-be. Strawberry worked the count to 2-and-2, before fouling off 4 pitches. Then, he connected with Hershiser's hanging curveball and sent it into the right-center gap to score Jefferies, cutting the Dodgers' lead to 2-1.

Summer had turned to fall, and another Olympic Games had come and gone since Hershiser last gave up a run. But when Jefferies set foot on home plate--one small step for the Mets, a giant leap for Hershiser' earned-run average--it was the first time in 67 innings Hershiser had allowed an opponent to score.

Deciding that Hershiser had tired, Manager Tom Lasorda summoned Howell, who had ended the season having not allowed a run in his last 18 innings.

Howell walked McReynolds, the potential go-ahead run, on 5 pitches. Throwing almost exclusively curveballs, Howell then struck out Howard Johnson and went ahead of Carter, 0-2.

With the sellout crowd on its feet and roaring in anticipation, Howell threw Carter another curveball, low and away. Carter reached out and sent a blooper into shallow center field.

"My first reaction was that I was surprised he swung," Howell said. "Then, I was surprised he hit it. I just turned around and looked to see what type of jump John got on the ball. It would have taken a great play for John (Shelby) to catch the ball. And I've seen John make plays like that before."

This, however, was not one of those times. Shelby appeared to get an adequate jump on the ball and, diving headfirst, he appeared to have reached the ball in time. The ball, upon Shelby's impact with the grass, bounced in and out of his glove and trickled behind him.

"I had a good feeling I could get the ball," Shelby said. "That's why I dove."

Had Shelby not dived for the ball, the tying run, Strawberry, would have scored and McReynolds would have been held at third base. But McReynolds, observing Shelby's stab at the ball, did not hesitate, rounding third and heading for home plate.

Shelby, however, did hesitate--and the Dodgers lost.

'30 Rock': The five best moments from seven seasons

February 01, 2013|By Patrick Kevin Day
  • Tina Fey as Liz Lemon
Tina Fey as Liz Lemon (NBC )

"30 Rock" has finally come to an end. We'll no longer have a chance to check in on Liz, Jack, Tracy, Jenna and poor, hapless Lutz. But that doesn't mean we can't keep our amazing memories of the "TGS" gang going through endless requoting and YouTube clip-watching.

There will be no shortage of debate as to the greatest moments of "30 Rock's" run, but here is our humble attempt to point out five moments that captured just what made "30 Rock" one of the funniest shows on TV.

Tracy Jordan as unstoppable stabbing robot

Times critic Robert Lloyd described Tracy Morgan's character, Tracy Jordan, as the show's id. And while there are examples of that uncontrolled impulse in nearly every episode of the series, nothing sums it up more succinctly than the first season episode "Tracy Does Conan." As Liz (Tina Fey) and Pete (Scott Adsit) worry about what Tracy will do on his upcoming appearance on "Late Night With Conan O'Brien," they think back to the previous time Tracy made an appearance. In nine seconds, the Tracy Jordan ethos is encapsulated.

Jack Donaghy as Tracy Jordan's entire family

Alec Baldwin has called Jack Donaghy the role of his career, and that's coming from a guy who's starred in major film blockbusters. But playing the ambitious NBC exec Donaghy for seven seasons allowed Baldwin to explore the stranger aspects of his acting chops (the stuff Scorsese and Mamet never ask you to do). Witness Baldwin in this scene with Morgan, as Tracy Jordan attempts to undergo therapy and Jack assists by becoming Jordan's entire family. Throughout the series, Baldwin has played Jack of the past and future and even a Latin American soap star known as the Generalissimo. But this is perhaps his strangest moment.

Will Ferrell in 'Bitch Hunter'

"30 Rock" has always had a consistently low opinion of the other kind of programming sharing its airwaves, especially the stuff put on by NBC. Perhaps the best example of the kinds of fake shows that could almost be real on "30 Rock" is the ill-fated NBC series "Bitch Hunter," which raised the ire of women's groups and led to "30 Rock's" show-within-a-show "TGS" getting picked up. The two clips of the "action-drama" shown (with star Will Ferrell) could actually be something put on the air at one point in the near future. The same goes for the fake NBC reality show "MILF Island."

Leap Day William

Long after "30 Rock" had established that it was not above any goofy, absurd or surreal flight of fancy in order to get a laugh, it managed to surprise us again in its sixth season. The episode "Leap Day" seemed like a typical "30 Rock" episode. It had a bizarre premise (establishing a Leap Day as a holiday, complete with a Santa-like figure known as Leap Day William), big-name guest stars (Jim Carrey and Andie MacDowell) and all the typical "TGS" wackiness. But its real surprise came in the last moments as the real Leap Day William, a lovable old gent from the Mariana Trench, appears on camera to reveal his true nature. Courtesy of director Steve Buscemi, it showed that "30 Rock" wasn't above scaring its audience for a laugh. (Sadly, this scene, which came during the episode's ending credits, is not available online; pictured below: John Cullum as a man dressed as Leap Day William -- or is it really him?)

The quotable Tina Fey

While it would be cheating to put every moment Tina Fey was on screen in "30 Rock" as a best moment, it wouldn't be far from the truth. This was Fey's series through and through, and she embodied Liz Lemon as only she could. But if the best of Fey's presence could be distilled to one thing, it would be how quotable she is. And if all of her quotes could be reduced to just one, it would be this: "I want to go to there." First uttered in the third season episode "Reunion," it's one of the best known quotes (and is also the title of "30 Rock's" official Pinterest page). Fey has said the quote was actually coined by her daughter, Alice.

Russian warships head to Syria in show of power

February 19, 2013|By Sergei Loiko
  • Russian President Vladimir Putin, center, speaks with Russian navy commander-in-chief Viktor Chirkov, left, and the captain of the nuclear cruiser Peter the Great, Vladislav Malakhovsky, on board a navy ship.

MOSCOW -- Russian warships are returning to the waters near Syria in a new demonstration of the Kremlin's interest in the outcome of the crisis there.

The Russian Defense Ministry told the RIA-Novosti news agency on Tuesday that four large landing vessels were on their way to the Mediterranean near Syria, three weeks after the Russian navy conducted its biggest maneuvers in the region since the breakup of the Soviet Union.

"Based on the results of the Navy exercises in the Black and Mediterranean seas from Jan. 19 through Jan. 29 ... the Ministry leadership has taken a decision to continue combat duty by Russian warships in the Mediterranean," the ministry said in its statement. “In the future the number of warships in the group and types of vessels acting in the said region will be defined in accordance with the given situation."

Russia has been a close ally of embattled Syrian President Bashar Assad and has strategic and economic interests in the country.

The Defense Ministry said the landing ships Kaliningrad and Alexander Shabalin are en route to the region from the Black Sea port of Novorossiysk. Two other big landing ships, the Saratov and the Azov, are scheduled to join them by the end of February.

"The continued presence of Russian warships close to Syria demonstrates the Kremlin's desire to keep up the Russian navy colors in the area to indicate that Russia stands by its attitude that the Syrian crisis should be resolved within the country by the country's existing political forces," Igor Korotchenko, editor in chief of the National Defense monthly journal said in an interview.

He added that he did not foresee the vessels taking part in any evacuation of the many Russian citizens in Syria.

The Russian Foreign Ministry has been talking about the possibility of such an evacuation. At the end of January, a contingent of 77 people, mostly women and children, were evacuated from Syria via Beirut by two Russian emergency flights.

"Should such a need arise," Korotchenko said, "Russian citizens will be evacuated to the Emergency Ministry's planes."

Salisbury Township Reorganizations

January 07, 1986|The Morning Call

The Salisbury Township Board of Commissioners in a 3-2 vote last night ousted long-time solicitor James Kellar and Township Engineer John Griffith and replaced them with Arthur T. Gillespie Jr. and John Pidcock, respectively.

In both cases Commissioners Michael Hanuschak and Lloyd Peters opposed the new appointments, citing Gillespie's lack of municipal experience and Pidcock's higher rates.

Gillespie, a resident of the township, was president of the Lehigh County Bar Association in 1981.

Pidcock is a partner in the firm of G. Edwin Pidcock Co., registered professional engineers in Allentown.

Commissioners Janet Keim, Alton Slane and Francis Walter, who voted for the new appointments, offered no public comment on the reasons for replacing Kellar and Griffith.

Walter was elected chairman of the board after Slane and outgoing chairman Keim declined the nomination. Keim was elected vice chairman after Peters declined the nomination to that post.

Township Manager Clifford Steff was reappointed for two years. Zoning officer Tracy Ernst was reappointed to her office for an indefi- nite period of time.

Two vacancies on the Civil Service Commission will be filled by residents of the 3rd and 5th wards in the township. Interested parties may apply for the position by writing to Steff at the Municipal Building, 3000 S. Pike Ave., Allentown, 18103. The appointments will be made on Jan. 23.

The board also named Edward Lightcap to the General Authority, reappointed Louis Falcone and Russell Bleiler to the Zoning Hearing Board, named David Shapiro, Merrill Dickinson, and Thomas Davis to the Planning Commission, named Ronald Hannis and Paul Milinchuk to the Recreation Commission, and named Bernard Kane to the Vacancy Board.

Matthew Dominy, public works director, announced that water in the Meadowbrook Section of the township will have a brownish color for the next several days because increased water pressure is needed to fill the new ice- skating pond at Lindberg Park. Dominy said there is no danger in using the water and the color is temporary.

Take MacArthur Road/145 out of Whitehall and turn right on Lehigh Street. At the first light, turn left onto Front. When the road splits in Coplay, bear left onto S. Third. After the road turns into N. Third, look to your left for a very nice display at 42, just past the American Club.

Turn left on Chestnut and left on N. Ninth. Turn right on Coplay Street, and where it hits a T at Magna, turn left, then right on Saylor Drive. You'll love 27 Saylor. Turn left on Coplay, left at the stop sign at Ruch and right on Center. Turn right on S. Fifth to see another terrific display at 3127. Return to Center and turn right to get to 145, where you'll turn right. At the 329 light, turn right and head toward Northampton.

Cross the bridge, turn left on Main Street and bear left at the light onto Cherryville Road. Turn right on W. 27th Street. My judges were blown away by 106.

Turn right at the end of the street and follow Main back across 329 and down Northampton's main drag, which looks beautiful. Bear left around the Christmas tree, enjoy 530 Main on your right and turn left on E. Fourth. Turn left on Howertown and left on E. Ninth. You'll see nice houses all along here. At the corner of Dewey and E. Ninth, turn right, enjoying nice displays across from each other at 264 E. Ninth — check out the beautiful Nativity — and 827 Dewey. Turn left at E. Eighth, take that back to Howertown, turn left, then right on E. 10th. The display at 612 is a showstopper.

Return to Howertown, turn left and head toward North Catasauqua, a holiday wonderland. Just past the Welcome sign, turn right on Palomino to see 740, then continue on Howertown to Grove, where you'll turn right at the Blue Monkey, my favorite post-golf hangout. The corner at the end of Grove is a shadow of its former self, but I still can't resist that big Statue of Liberty on the right. Turn left on Fourth, left on Buttonwood and pause to see the Baby Jesus waving to you from the window of 428 on your left. Turn left on Fifth and the next sharp left on Cypress (no sign here again) to see 417. Continue to Third, turn left — can you find the boy with his tongue stuck to a flagpole? — and cruise all the way down that street, which is beautifully decorated. Make a left on Pine, left on Fourth, left on Cypress and left on Second for more great displays.

When you hit Pine, turn right, go over the bridge and turn left onto First. Stay on there as it turns into Third and hits Grape Street, where you'll turn left. Make a left on Front and enjoy a musical finish at the corner of Front and Franklin. Tune your radio to 92.3-FM. It's crazy.

Story at-a-glance -

  • “New and improved” 3D tomosynthesis mammograms still require mechanical compression and expose you to even more radiation than conventional 2D mammograms
  • The excited push to use 3D tomosynthesis is little more than a last-ditch attempt to avoid having to admit mammograms are useless and don’t result in reduced mortality rates
  • Recommendations to use 3D tomosynthesis results in at least twice as much radiation as a standard mammogram. Not only are multiple x-rays taken in an arc around the breast to create the 3D image, women are also advised to still undergo traditional 2D mammography in conjunction with tomosynthesis
  • Tomosynthesis mammograms received FDA approval in 2011. There’s no data to prove the technology finds more cancers, saves lives, and won’t result in a greatly increased risk of breast cancer in the future
  • Preventing breast cancer is far more important and powerful than simply trying to detect it after it has already formed. My top tips on how to help prevent breast cancer are included

Can You Cut Your Breast Cancer Risk by Skipping Mammograms?

March 02, 2013 | 229,067 views

By Dr. Mercola

In the US, women are still urged to get an annual mammogram starting at the age of 40, despite the fact that updated guidelines set forth by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force in 2009 urge women to wait until the age of 50, and to only get bi-annual screening thereafter.

Unfortunately, many women are completely unaware that the science simply does not back up the use of routine mammograms as a means to prevent breast cancer death.

What's worse, the "new and improved" tomosynthesis mammogram, which provides a three-dimensional (3D) image of the breast,1 is now being hoisted on women across the US as "the answer" to mammography's failing efficacy rates and pattern of harmful misdiagnosis...

Please, don't get suckered into further doubling your risk for radiation-induced breast cancer by signing up for annual 3D tomosynthesis.

New 3D Mammography is NOT the Solution Women have Been Waiting for...

The primary hazard of conventional 2D imaging is ionizing radiation. According to a 2010 study,2 annual screening using digital or screen-film mammography on women aged 40–80 years is associated with an induced cancer incidence and fatal breast cancer rate of 20-25 cases per 100, 000.

This means annual mammograms CAUSE 20-25 cases of fatal cancer for every 100,000 women getting the test. Now, 3D tomosynthesis also exposes you to ionizing radiation—and much more of it!

First, in order to achieve the three-dimensional image, the machine moves in an arc around your breast, taking multiple x-rays along the way, which are then computed together into a 3D image. Second, women are still advised to get a conventional 2D mammogram.

How is this addressing the hazards of breast cancer screening using ionizing radiation?

Well, it's not. After all, that's what the cancer screen is supposed to do, yet studies have repeatedly shown that mammography causes more widespread harm than good, and has not resulted in reduced breast cancer mortality rates. The hope is that these 3D images will boost the accuracy of diagnosing cancer; alas... this is probably not going to happen.

Because there's no way to tell if a little spot on an x-ray (3D or not) is actually cancerous or benign. As image technologies have improved, false positives have increased along with it. Furthermore, what good will it do to identify more and more tiny tumors if the incidence of cancer starts to skyrocket as a result of ever increasing amounts of radiation exposure?

Want to Decrease Your Risk of Breast Cancer? Forgo Screening, Expert Says

In my view, 3D tomosynthesis is a false solution. It's a sad, flailing attempt to avoid having to admit mammograms are useless, if not dangerous. This truth is absolutely devastating to the cancer industry, which is why they're fighting tooth and nail to deny it.

"The most effective way to decrease women's risk of becoming a breast cancer patient is to avoid attending screening," writes Peter C. Gotzche, MD of The Nordic Cochrane Centre and author of Mammography Screening: Truth, Lies and Controversy. "Mammography screening is one of the greatest controversies in healthcare, and the extent to which some scientists have sacriﬁced sound scientiﬁc principles in order to arrive at politically acceptable results in their research is extraordinary. In contrast, neutral observers increasingly ﬁnd that the beneﬁt has been much oversold and that the harms are much greater than previously believed."

This fact was revealed in a 2011 meta-analysis by the Cochrane Database of Systemic Reviews, which found that mammography breast cancer screening led to 30 percent overdiagnosis and overtreatment, which equates to an absolute risk increase of 0.5 percent.

As recently reported by The Los Angeles Times,3 yet another study is now putting the thumb-screws on the industry, concluding that women who follow the American Cancer Society's guidelines to get annual mammograms starting at age 40 not only receive NO additional protection against aggressive breast cancer, but actually experience greater harm through increased false positives and unnecessary treatments, when compared to women who get bi-annual mammograms between the ages of 50 and 74 only (which is what the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force now recommends).

The article goes on to estimate that if all American women between 66-89 received annual mammograms instead of biannual testing, this results in a staggering 3.86 million more false-positives and 1.15 million more biopsies. This is great for profits. Not so great for you though, who has to pay financially, physically, and emotionally...

"Even after researchers adjusted for confounding factors such as age, place of residence and race, they found no benefit to more frequent screenings," the LA Times reported.

Analysis of 30 Years of Breast Screening Shows Mammograms Do More Harm than Good

Last November, the New England Journal of Medicine4 also published a shocking analysis of the effects of breast cancer screening in the US over the past three decades, which found that 1.3 million women were misdiagnosed and mistreated as a result. The number of early-stage breast cancers detected have doubled over the past 30 years since the advent of mammography, from 112 to 234 cases per 100,000. Late-stage cancer incidence has decreased by eight percent in the same time frame, from 102 to 94 cases per 100,000.

According to the authors:

"Despite substantial increases in the number of cases of early-stage breast cancer detected, screening mammography has only marginally reduced the rate at which women present with advanced cancer. Although it is not certain which women have been affected, the imbalance suggests that there is substantial overdiagnosis, accounting for nearly a third of all newly diagnosed breast cancers, and that screening is having, at best, only a small effect on the rate of death from breast cancer."

The lead author, Dr. Archie Bleyer, recently defended his team's findings against industry nay-sayers who criticized the analysis, stating:5

"We are disappointed by the comments from the leadership of the mammography community. They reiterate three 'talking points' that were voiced after our report was published. First, we undercorrected for an underlying incidence trend of invasive cancer. Since 1986, there has not been an obvious increase in the incidence of invasive cancer. Even if we had used their number — based on data from Connecticut in the years 1940 through 1980 — we would still estimate that from 1979 through 2008 and in 2008 alone, there was an overdiagnosis of breast cancer in 878,000 and 34,000 women, respectively.

Second, it was stated that our data do not reflect the real world. We would argue that it is hard to get more 'real' than three decades of data from the world's preeminent cancer surveillance program.

Third, they say that DCIS should have been excluded. How could we estimate overdiagnosis without including an abnormality that is essentially detected only with mammography and is treated as cancer? And yet the authors of this letter characterize our research as 'dangerous.' We are disappointed because to mitigate the problem of overdiagnosis, primary care practitioners, surgeons, oncologists, and the public health community will all need the help of our colleagues in mammography. And the first step in addressing any problem is to acknowledge it."

Only ONE in 2,000 Women Undergoing Regular Mammogram Screening Will Benefit from it

So what are your chances of being that lucky person who actually benefits from regular mammograms? According to recent findings by the Nordic Cochrane Center, only ONE out of 2,000 women screened regularly for 10 years will actually benefit from screening due to early detection of breast cancer.

Meanwhile, 10 healthy women (out of those 2,000 screened for a decade) will be misdiagnosed, turned into cancer patients, and will be treated unnecessarily. These women will have either a part of their breast or the whole breast removed, and will typically receive radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy. This treatment (for a cancer that was non-existent) subsequently increases their risk of dying from complications from the therapy and/or from other diseases associated with radiation and chemo, such as heart disease and cancer. So, to recap, in order for mammographic breast screening to save ONE woman's life:

  • 2,000 women must be screened for 10 years
  • 200 women will get false positives, and
  • 10 will receive surgery and/or chemotherapy even though they do not actually have cancer

Just because you were treated for cancer does not mean you're a cancer survivor. If you really didn't have cancer to begin with, then you're really just a "cancer treatment survivor." Yet all women treated for cancer who survive become part of the "cancer survivor" statistic...

Breast Cancer Prevention Strategies

Cancer screening does NOT equate to cancer prevention, and although early detection is important, using a screening method that in and of itself increases your risk of developing cancer is simply not good medicine... Preventing breast cancer is far more important and powerful than simply trying to detect it after it has already formed, which is why I want to share my top tips on how to help prevent this disease in the first place.

In the largest review of research into lifestyle and breast cancer, the American Institute of Cancer Research estimated that about 40 percent of US breast cancer cases could be prevented if people made wiser lifestyle choices.6, 7 I believe these estimates are far too low, and it is more likely that 75 percent to 90 percent of breast cancers could be avoided by strictly applying the recommendations below.

  • Avoid sugar, especially fructose. All forms of sugar are detrimental to health in general and promote cancer. Fructose, however, is clearly one of the most harmful and should be avoided as much as possible.
  • Optimize your vitamin D. Vitamin D influences virtually every cell in your body and is one of nature's most potent cancer fighters. Vitamin D is actually able to enter cancer cells and trigger apoptosis (cell death). If you have cancer, your vitamin D level should be between 70 and 100 ng/ml. Vitamin D works synergistically with every cancer treatment I'm aware of, with no adverse effects. I suggest you try watching my one-hour free lecture on vitamin D to learn more.
  • Remember that if you take oral vitamin D3 supplements, you also need to increase your vitamin K2 intake, as vitamin D increases the need for K2 to function properly. See my previous article What You Need to Know About Vitamin K2, D and Calcium for more information.

    Please consider joining one of GrassrootsHealth's D*Action's vitamin D studies to stay on top of your vitamin D performance. For more information, see my previous article How Vitamin D Performance Testing Can Help You Optimize Your Health.

  • Get plenty of natural vitamin A. There is evidence that vitamin A also plays a role in helping prevent breast cancer.8 It's best to obtain it from vitamin A-rich foods, rather than a supplement. Your best sources are organic egg yolks,9 raw butter, raw whole milk, and beef or chicken liver.
  • Lymphatic breast massage can help enhance your body's natural ability to eliminate cancerous toxins. This can be applied by a licensed therapists, or you can implement self-lymphatic massage. It is also promotes self-nurturance.
  • Avoid charring your meats. Charcoal or flame broiled meat is linked with increased breast cancer risk. Acrylamide—a carcinogen created when starchy foods are baked, roasted or fried—has been found to increase breast cancer risk as well.
  • Avoid unfermented soy products. Unfermented soy is high in plant estrogens, or phytoestrogens, also known as isoflavones. In some studies, soy appears to work in concert with human estrogen to increase breast cell proliferation, which increases the chances for mutations and cancerous cells.
  • Improve your insulin receptor sensitivity. The best way to do this is by avoiding sugar and grains and making sure you are exercising, especially with Peak Fitness.
  • Maintain a healthy body weight. This will come naturally when you begin eating right for your nutritional type and exercising. It's important to lose excess body fat because fat produces estrogen.
  • Drink a half to whole quart of organic green vegetable juice daily. Please review my juicing instructions for more detailed information.
  • Get plenty of high quality animal-based omega-3 fats, such as krill oil. Omega-3 deficiency is a common underlying factor for cancer.
  • Curcumin. This is the active ingredient in turmeric and in high concentrations can be very useful adjunct in the treatment of breast cancer. It shows immense therapeutic potential in preventing breast cancer metastasis.10 It's important to know that curcumin is generally not absorbed that well, so I've provided several absorption tips here.
  • Avoid drinking alcohol, or at least limit your alcoholic drinks to one per day.
  • Breastfeed exclusively for up to six months. Research shows breastfeeding can reduce your breast cancer risk.
  • Avoid wearing underwire bras. There is a good deal of data that metal underwire bras can heighten your breast cancer risk.
  • Avoid electromagnetic fields as much as possible. Even electric blankets can increase your cancer risk.
  • Avoid synthetic hormone replacement therapy. Breast cancer is an estrogen-related cancer, and according to a study published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, breast cancer rates for women dropped in tandem with decreased use of hormone replacement therapy. (There are similar risks for younger women who use oral contraceptives. Birth control pills, which are also comprised of synthetic hormones, have been linked to cervical and breast cancers.)
  • If you are experiencing excessive menopausal symptoms, you may want to consider bioidentical hormone replacement therapy instead, which uses hormones that are molecularly identical to the ones your body produces and do not wreak havoc on your system. This is a much safer alternative.

  • Avoid BPA, phthalates and other xenoestrogens. These are estrogen-like compounds that have been linked to increased breast cancer risk
  • Make sure you're not iodine deficient, as there's compelling evidence linking iodine deficiency with breast cancer. Dr. David Brownstein,11 author of the book Iodine: Why You Need It, Why You Can't Live Without It, is a proponent of iodine for breast cancer. It actually has potent anticancer properties and has been shown to cause cell death in breast and thyroid cancer cells.

For more information, I recommend reading Dr. Brownstein's book. I have been researching iodine for some time ever since I interviewed Dr. Brownstein as I do believe that the bulk of what he states is spot on. However, I am not at all convinced that his dosage recommendations are correct. I believe they are too high.

Take Control of Your Health to Avoid Becoming a Statistic

Many women are completely unaware that the science backing the use of mammograms is sorely lacking, and that more women are being harmed by regular mammograms than are saved by them.

Peter C. Gotzche, MD of the Nordic Cochrane Centre' recently published a groundbreaking book Mammography Screening: Truth, Lies and Controversy. It offers a comprehensive take on the evidence, and a critical look at the scientiﬁc disputes and the information provided to women by governments and cancer charities. It also explains why mammography screening is unlikely to be effective today.

Many also do not realize that the "new and improved" 3D tomosynthesis mammogram actually ends up exposing you to MORE cancer-causing ionizing radiation than the older version. Please understand that there are other screening options, each with their own strengths and weaknesses, and you have a right to utilize those options. Also remember that in order to truly avoid breast cancer, you need to focus your attention on prevention.

DevotionalLead me in the way everlasting
      There is often apparently but little difference in two distinct lives between the person in constant victory and the one in frequent victory. But that little difference constitutes a world of success or failure. The one is the divine, the other is the human; the one is the everlasting way, the other the transient and the imperfect way. God wants to ...read
DevotionalLean not unto thine own understanding
      Faith is hindered by reliance upon human wisdom, whether our own or the wisdom of others. The devil's first bait to Eve was an offer of wisdom, and for this she sold her faith. Ye shall be as gods, he said, knowing good and evil (Genesis 3:5); and from that hour she began to know and she ceased to trust. It was the spies who postponed the Land of ...read
DevotionalLeaning upon her beloved
      Will we make the claim most practical and real and, like John, at the Last Supper, lean our full weight upon our Lord's breast? That is the way He would have us prove our love. "if you love me lean hard," said a heathen woman to her missionary, as she was timidly leaning her tired body upon her stalwart body. She felt slighted by the timorous re ...read

      Do you complain about your calling or fret about the changes and trials of life?

DevotionalLet your moderation be known unto all men
      The very test of consecration is our willingness not only to surrender the things that are wrong, but to surrender our rights, to be willing to be subject.

DevotionalLook from the place where thou art
       Let us think for a moment of the blessedness of faith. Our own littleness and nothingness sometimes becomes bondage. We are so small in our own eyes we dare not claim God's mighty promises.

      Yes, our perplexities would become plain if we kept on a spiritual elevation.

So, from the heights of prayer and faith, we too can see the plain path and ...read

      There must be a constant looking unto Jesus, or, as the German Bible states it, an offlooking upon Jesus-that is, looking off from the evil, refusing to see it, not letting the mind dwell upon it for a second.

Flying Piece Of Tv Chopper Might Have Caused Crash

June 18, 1986|By United Press International

JACKSONVILLE — Officials investigating the crash of Chopper 12 said Tuesday a piece of the helicopter might have flown off and interfered with the rotation of the tail rotor, causing the craft to spiral down and crash.

But investigators with the National Transportation Safety Board said it may take several weeks to determine what caused the helicopter from WTLV- Channel 12 in Jacksonville to crash at the end of a live traffic update.

Killed in the crash were reporter Julie Ann Silvers, 26, of radio station WAPE-FM, and William Buddy Smith, 34, the pilot. Silvers used the broadcast name Julie King.

A cameraman on board, Brett Snyder, 22, was injured. He was in serious but stable condition at University Hospital after emergency surgery to repair internal injuries and broken bones.

A spokesman for the safety board in Miami said pieced-together videotape taken just before the crash and recovered from the helicopter's charred and twisted wreckage gave investigators little to go on.

''We're specifically looking into interference with the tail rotor,'' said George Prellezo. ''We also are investigating the rotor itself, the transmission and shaft portions of the tail rotor. The sound track on the tape indicated engine noise all the way to the ground and that would seem to indicate no problem with the main engine.''

Prellezo said the spinning of the helicopter just before it crashed indicated a problem with the tail assembly.

Witnesses reported seeing the pilot-side door fly off just before the craft hit the ground. Others reported seeing other pieces of the helicopter come loose before the crash.

The Hughes 500 helicopter crashed and burned about 6:44 a.m. in a tree- filled lot near the junction of Interstate 10 and Interstate 95 on the west side of Jacksonville.

The helicopter crew did live traffic updates as part of the station's ''Good Morning Jacksonville'' news program and the report was ending when the crash occurred, said David Richardson, WTLV news director.

Silvers had been on the job only three weeks. Richardson said her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Ventner of Pompano Beach, were in Jacksonville Monday to visit her and saw the crash on television.

WTLV leased the helicopter from Helicopter Services of Jacksonville.

Florida approves tougher FCAT scoring

December 19, 2011|By Leslie Postal, Orlando Sentinel

The State Board of Education voted Monday to adopt a tougher FCAT scoring system for the state's standardized math and reading exams.

The move is designed to push students and schools to achieve more academically. But likely, at least initially, it will mean more students fail those sections of the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test.

The FCAT, a series of exams in math, reading, science and writing, is taken annually by students in grades 3 to 10 and is used to help make promotion and graduation decisions and to judge school and teacher quality.

The board on Monday adopted new "cut scores" — marks that separate failing and passing scores and determine which scores are below, above or on grade level — for FCAT math and reading.

This is the first time in a decade the state has adopted new cut scores. The change was needed this year because FCAT's math and reading exams were revised to meet new academic standards.

The move is also a short-term because the state plans to retire FCAT math and reading exams by 2015 and replace them with new tests designed to meet new "common core" standards in those subjects. The new tests are being developed by a consortium of more than 20 states.

The goal of all these testing changes, said board member Akshay Desai, is to "to continue to raise the bar for all students…to get them ready to complete globally."

State educators wanted harder standards in part because they worried too many Florida students left high school ill-prepared for college classes. The board unanimously adopted the proposal made by Commissioner Gerard Robinson.

School administrators worry the changes, particularly for the high school reading exam, will make it tougher for some teenagers to earn diplomas. The passing rate on the 10th-grade FCAT reading test could fall from 60 to 52 percent, officials estimate.

But board member John Padget noted that many students who fail the test as high school sophomores do pass it eventually and still graduate with their class. Students must pass that 10th-grade exam to earn diplomas.

"Students do have the chance to recover," he said.

Last year, about 4,500 students — out of class of more than 150,000 — did not earn diplomas solely because they hadn't passed FCAT, state data show. Nearly 10,500 never passed FCAT but managed to do well enough on ACT or SAT so were able to substitute those scores for a passing FCAT mark.

The changes approved today kick in with this year's 10th graders and will take effect with the FCAT exams taken this coming spring.

Educators expect more students will do poorly at all grade levels, meaning many more will require remedial math and reading classes or lessons. More third graders likely will face retention, as is required with low FCAT reading scores.

Does Doctor`s Note Exempt Official From State Fine?

May 4, 1986|By Marilyn Weeks, Staff Writer

THE STATE DECIDED the best cure for late campaign reports was a good dose of deterrent - a $50 a day fine. A Broward candidate is about to find out if a note from the family physician checks out as a good excuse.

The victim of the new regulation during the last filing period ending April 10 is Port Commissioner Stan Harris, who has opened his re-election campaign account. He is appealing a $200 fine assessed for a report received four days late in the office of Broward Election Supervisor Jane Carroll.

Harris` letter of response, which included a note from his doctor, read in part:

``In regards to your letter imposing a fine of $200, I became ill while my treasurer and I were working on my report and was unable to get the necessary papers together on time.``

Harris` letter also promised that it would not happen again, and for good measure, included a note from his doctor - penned April 21 on a perscription form - saying that ``Mr. Harris was ill during the beginning of April.``

``I had very good grounds. I was very, very ill at the time. I was unable to attend this week`s Port Commission meeting. I`m in bed now,`` Harris said.

Harris said he failed to complete the report on time because he was unable to get some of the receipts together and mailed until April 11, one day after the required 5 p.m. postmark deadline.

``If they don`t see fit to waive the fine, it`ll be paid,`` Harris said.

According to the law that took effect in January, a candidate may appeal the fine if there are ``unusual circumstances surrounding the failure to file on the designated due date.``

A BROWARD Democratic Executive Committee task force has been studying the pros and cons of single member districts for county commissioners, now elected countywide. But don`t let that fool you. It doesn`t mean the concept has picked up support in the majority party since the last time around when the commission, then-all Democratic, and the party soundly opposed it.

``My guess is that the majority of the DEC is against single member districts,`` said Larry Davis, who headed the task force. ``There`s a lot of talk on both sides of the issue. We think all the ideas should be out on the table.``

Davis said he would not be surprised, though, if there`s some support for a strong mayor for the county. A task force meeting Thursday backed up his speculations.

``There was a lot more support for a strong mayor than single member districts,`` said Davis. ``But we voted to recommend that the issue be referred to the Charter Review Commission.

``Most thought the whole government needs to be looked at.``

The county`s charter mandates that the review panel be in place no later than November 1987.

The League of Women Voters is pushing a plan that would combine a strong mayor, increasing the seven-member commission by two and electing part of the panel from districts.

ANYBODY CAN MAIL a check or endorsement, but an 11-member messenger service tends to get a candidate`s attention. Ask Broward Commissioner Sylvia Poitier, who found her office filled with the board from the political action committee of Broward County National Organization for Women.

Chairman Dorothea Gallagher said the board delivered its $1,000 check and endorsement early so its members can assist with Poitier`s bid for election to the post she gained through appointment.

IN RESPONSE TO a cry for help from frustrated university officials, the Broward County Legislative Delegation this week tried in vain to hurry the long-delayed $10 million University Tower in downtown Fort Lauderdale.

After Sen. Tom McPherson, D-Fort Lauderdale, ended up on the short end of ``a heated telephone conversation`` with L. Allen Haynes, head of the Siegfried Construction Co., Delray Beach, the delegation decided to write a nasty letter.

Delegation chairman, Sen. Peter Weinstein, D-Coral Springs, volunteered Rep. Carol Hanson, R-Boca Raton, to help write the letter. Hanson, who is better known for shooting from the hip than mincing words, accepted the challenge, retorting, ``They don`t call me poison pen for nothing.``

Contractor Haynes, now talking about a August completition date - nearly a year late - blames subcontractor woes for the problems.

English & Vernacular - 1835-1840

The following is mostly based on A Review of Public Instruction in the Bengal Presidency, from 1835 to 1851, by James Kerr (1852).

Macaulay's Minute on Education was dated February 2, 1835.  On March 7, 1835, Lord Bentinck issued the resolution that the funds that had been spent on oriental education cease, and those funds be devoted to English education only.  After that, the President of the Educational Committee, a Mr. Shakespeare, resigned his office, and Macaulay was appointed to succeed him.  Macaulay remained President from 1835 through 1837 till he left India in December 1837. From 1838 into 1842, the president was Macaulay's friend, Sir Edward Ryan.

Kerr tells us -

At an early stage of the proceedings of the new Committee, great misapprehension existed in various quarters in regard to the extent to which the vernacular languages were to be taught in the Government seminaries.   Some were of the opinion that according the most obvious interpretation of the Government Resolution, the vernacular languages were to be entirely excluded and all the funds were strictly to be employed "on English education alone."
The General Committee promptly corrected this error.  The following clear statement of their views was published in the annual report for 1835.
"The General Committee are deeply sensible of the importance of encouraging the cultivation of the vernacular languages.  They do not conceive that the order of the 7th of March precludes this and they have constantly acted on this construction.  In the discussions which preceded that order, the claims of the vernacular language were broadly and prominently admitted by all parties, and the question submitted for the decision of Government only concerned the relative advantage of teaching English on the one side and the learned eastern languages on the other."
It was added that the phrases "English education", "English literature and science" were not set up in opposition to vernacular education, but in opposition to oriental learning taught through the medium of Sanskrit and Arabic.
Sounds very nice, but what did really happen?

At the point where the above passage appears, Kerr has just finished telling us that English literature and science were introduced in all institutions and
For the next four or five years, the General Committee would listen to no modification of the system.  If separate vernacular classes were proposed, such could not be allowed; it was contrary to the Resolution of the Government, adopted after mature deliberation.
So, what did really happen?  Do we believe Kerr's report from 1852, or Macaulay's Committee's report of 1835?  I think the tie-breaker is available, via what Kerr subsequently gives us, Lord Auckland's minute of November 24, 1839.  One of the issues brought to Auckland's attention was "the abolition of classes, wherever they existed, for separate instruction in the vernacular tongue; and generally, the preference given to English over the vernacular language as the principal medium of instruction.  It was contended that a little vernacular only was taught, as "an adjunct" to instruction in English."

On this issue, Lord Auckland thought that once suitable vernacular class books had been prepared, the compulsory English policy could be relaxed.  There is also this:
"On the whole, further experience, his Lordship thought, was needed. Two great experiments were in progress, one in Bengal through English, and the other in the Bombay Presidency through the vernacular language.  Let both experiments be "thoroughly developed" and the results be observed."
Comparing Maharashtra (the Bombay Presidency) with Bengal-Bihar-Orissa (the Bengal Presidency) in the modern age, one would have to concede that the Bombay Presidency is ahead as far as development goes.  Whether it is because of century-old education policy, who knows? but when someone asks, how did Macaulay turn out, 180 years later?, one has to note such things.

Wiki map of India, 1837

Through Kerr and elsewhere, we find that the native demand for English was there only where there was frequent contact with Europeans.  E.g., Kerr quotes the Educational Report for 1843-44:
"There exists much less encouragement for the study of English in the North Western Provinces than in Bengal.  There are few European residents.   There is no wealthy body of European merchants transacting their business in the English language.  There is no Supreme Court where justice is administered in English.   All public business, except correspondence between English officers, is carried on in the vernacular language.   There are therefore fewer means of diffusing a taste for learning English."
So, it seems there were very practical reasons for Indians to want to learn English in Bengal, and probably much less the bombastic ideal of absorbing European Enlightenment.

Young Australians need to engage with the world

Asia Education Foundation, Go Global Project Officer, Emeline Gillingham explores why our students’ future success is dependent on how well our education system develops their global competence.

The world is changing at a rapid pace and young people everywhere need a global mindset and skill set to succeed.

It’s no longer news that work is being transformed by global markets, new technology and ever increasing ethnic, cultural and social diversity. Which means that our students’ future success is dependent on how well our education system develops their global competence. For young Australians, developing knowledge and familiarity with Asia is a vital part of developing global understanding and contributes to the rich fabric of our social cohesion at home in Australia.

As Australia’s engagement with Asia continues to grow, more and more global opportunities will arise for our young people. The Australian Government’s New Colombo Plan is an example of this. It enables Australian undergraduates to study and take on internships in the Indo-Pacific region.

To be able to take advantage of such opportunities, our students need to be equipped with not only cultural knowledge, but also well-developed communication and language skills and deep intercultural understanding of our region.

As schools across the country begin to rethink the way global competence is taught in schools, fundamental conversations about what constitutes a world-class education are taking place. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) has this year announced it will begin to measure student global competence in the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) that benchmarks education performance across the world.

The challenge is giving students the opportunity to put these skills into practice in a safe environment, relevant to the sort of real-world opportunities they will encounter. The OECD says this could include intercultural collaboration on analysis of global issues, understanding difference and a shared respect for human dignity.

This week in Wonthaggi, the Asia Education Foundation, in partnership with the Andrews Foundation and Bass Coast Shire Council, hosted the inaugural Global Goals Youth Forum: an exciting new youth program designed to deepen student understanding of global issues and develop global competencies. Fifty Year 9–11 students from Leongatha Secondary College, Newhaven College and Wonthaggi Secondary College took part in the youth forum held at the Wonthaggi Union Arts Community Centre.

The Global Goals Youth Forum acknowledges the role of young Australians in taking action to solve the global issues of our time. The issues explored on the day were those defined by the United Nations Global Goals for Sustainable Development, which include an end to all forms of poverty, inequality plus solutions to tackle climate change. These goals were adopted in 2015 by world leaders gathered at a special United Nations summit.

Victorian Member of Parliament for Bass, Brian Paynter MP, delivered the opening address at the Forum. He said: “This is a fantastic initiative that will help build students’ knowledge and understanding of global issues. The students will be key to solving the big challenges of our future, so it’s great to see them getting involved in this space in their local and global community.”

Distinguished experts on the day included Mary Aldred, Chief Executive Officer, Committee for Gippsland and Harry Freeman from Bass Coast Waste Watchers, who shared their experience in tackling global issues that impact the local community.

Following these inspiring talks, highly-skilled facilitators guided collaboration between students as they developed innovative solutions to these issues. One of the ideas developed by students on the day included a series of workshops for high school students to fight gender stereotypes as a preventative measure to combat gender inequality (goal five).

Events like this provide students and their schools with a great opportunity to develop a deeper awareness and understanding of global issues as well as an opportunity to put these skills into practice to better appreciate what it means to be an active local and global citizen. They offer students the chance to connect what they learn in class with future education and career pathways, ultimately preparing them to take advantage of the global opportunities that are increasingly part of their world.

.....And we're back!

I had a great time vacationing in Canada with my family.
We were staying with my grandparents, who live on the beach on Vancouver Island.
Needless to say, lots of fun, laughter, and-of course-cake were had.
But now we're back, it's time to get shop opened back up again!
So order now!

And keep an eye out for new cakes I'll be posting soon. ;)

Atheists, Where's The Outrage?

A stone monument depicting the 10 commandments, located on private property across the street from the U.S. Supreme Court, was pushed over onto its face.

This was no mean feat. It weighs 850 pounds. It took several thugs and some hardware to do this.

This totally offensive piece of rock denounces lying, murder theft, enviousness and adultery.

And then there's the part about honoring God and your parents, which is just too over the top for today's enlightened society.

So, I'm pretty confident it wasn't a bunch of wacko, right wing, sky-daddy worshiping theocrats who did this.

So, Atheists, is it now coming to this?

And why aren't more of you denouncing this destruction of private property?

Probe into Dale Oen death to take eight weeks

Probe into Dale Oen death to take eight weeks
By Reuters

04/05/2012 at 05:45

The results of a second set of tests to determine what caused the death of champion 26-year-old Norwegian swimmer Alexander Dale Oen, who collapsed and died in Arizona this week, are not due until late June at the earliest.

Authorities suspected that Dale Oen, the world 100 meters breaststroke champion, suffered a heart attack on Monday at an altitude training camp in Flagstaff in northern Arizona.

An autopsy conducted on Tuesday for the Coconino County Public Health Services District found no obvious "anatomic" cause of death, or any associated trauma.

Barbara Worgess, chief health officer for the Coconino County Public Health Services District, said additional tests and consultation with a cardiovascular pathologist had been ordered, but that results would not be made public for at least eight weeks.

"Whenever there's no physical-anatomical obvious cause of death, it really becomes a process then of gathering more information and (seeing) where that information leads you," Worgess told Reuters.

She said consulting with a cardio-vascular expert was "just a good place to start" the further investigation.

"The important thing right now for the medical examiner is to keep a totally open mind, gather whatever information he can through tests and consultations ... and see where that takes us," she said.

Dale Oen was found lying partially in a bath tub at the training facility after a day of light training and a game of golf. His teammates broke into the bathroom after noticing he had spent a long time inside.

A team doctor and paramedics tried unsuccessfully to revive him.

He became a national hero in Norway last year when he won the 100 meters breaststroke at the world championships in Shanghai.

Dale Oen was one of his country's best hopes for a medal at this year's Summer Olympic Games in London.

South Dakota Legislators Stave Off Anti-Evolution Bill

Trump Administration Revokes Guidance On Civil Rights Protections For Transgender Students

Harming Religious Freedom: For Some Oklahoma Senators, It’s As Easy As 1, 2, 3

Within 15 minutes it was done: The Oklahoma Senate Judiciary Committee voted to pass three extreme bills yesterday – with no debate. The first bill would allow prayer in public schools (SB 450), the second would make the state’s law requiring parental consent for a minor to receive abortion care even more severe (SB 753) and the third would gut the state’s civil rights laws by allowing a range of individuals and businesses to discriminate as long as it’s based on a sincerely held religious belief (SB 197). It was as easy as 1, 2, 3.

Congressional Panel Wanted to Ignore Real Threats To Religious Freedom

LA County Smokers Fall Below One Million for the First Time
Disparities in Smoking Rates Highlight Need for Focused Prevention Efforts

LOS ANGELES, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 11/14/12 -- In honor of the 37th Annual Great American Smokeout, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health released a new report showing the number of adult smokers in LA County fell below one million for the first time since the Los Angeles County Health Survey was initiated in 1997. The report, Adult Smoking on the Decline, But Disparities Remain, highlights the smoking prevalence in 2011 among adults in LA County. Overall, 13.1 percent of adults (18 years and older) were current smokers in 2011, down from 14.3 percent in 2002 and 2007.

"While it is encouraging to see the decline in smoking among adults over the past several years, tobacco use remains the leading cause of preventable death in LA County," said Jonathan E. Fielding, MD, MPH, Director of Public Health and Health Officer. "In addition, exposure to secondhand smoke is an important cause of illness among non-smokers, contributing to asthma and other respiratory diseases, heart disease, and sudden infant death syndrome."

In LA County, cigarette smoking is directly linked to one out of every seven deaths each year, or nearly 8,600 deaths annually. In addition, smoking is estimated to cost LA County $4.3 billion in medical care and lost productivity costs each year. The report also shows stark disparities in smoking rates, with higher smoking rates among African Americans; those living in or near poverty; the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered populations; and those with mental health or substance use conditions. In addition, the smoking prevalence varies greatly across age groups, with a disproportionately high rate of smoking among 25 to 29 year olds.

"The good news is that we have proven interventions to deter young people from starting to smoke and services to assist those who do smoke to quit, including nicotine replacement therapy, other medications, and counseling support. The marked disparities we see in smoking prevalence highlights the need for focused interventions in communities with the highest rates of smoking," said Dr. Fielding.

Additional key finding from the report include:

  • The smoking rate was higher among men (16.4 percent) than women (10 percent).
  • The smoking rate was highest among African American men and women (19.5 percent and 15.6 percent).
  • The Antelope Valley Service Planning Area (SPA) had the highest smoking rate at 15.6 percent, with the lowest smoking rate in the West SPA at 9.7 percent.
  • The smoking rate was high among methamphetamine, cocaine or ecstasy users (59.8 percent), heavy drinkers (38.4 percent), those less than 300 percent below the FPL and homeless in the past five years (31.2 percent), and those suffering from anxiety (28.3 percent) or depression (22.1 percent).
  • The smoking rate was low among 18 to 24 year olds (9.7 percent), but peaked among 25 to 29 year olds (20.3 percent).

LA County offers resources to residents who are currently addicted to tobacco, have already quit, or want to help a friend or relative kick this deadly addiction as well. Residents can visit for information and resources about quitting smoking, or call the California Smokers' Helpline, 1-800-NO-BUTTS. The Helpline offers free and confidential telephone counseling that has proven to double a smoker's chances of successfully quitting than if the smoker tried to do it alone.

Right now, LA County residents can receive free nicotine patches when calling the Helpline to seek support in quitting. The Helpline also assists those trying to quit chewing tobacco and has experts to help teens quit. Additional information and smoking cessation tips can be found on the LA Quits website,, Facebook page, and Twitter @LAQuits.

The Department of Public Health is committed to protecting and improving the health of the nearly 10 million residents of Los Angeles County. Through a variety of programs, community partnerships and services, Public Health oversees environmental health, disease control, and community and family health. Public Health comprises nearly 4,000 employees and has an annual budget exceeding $750 million.
