Jon Kelvey: “America's Long-Overdue Opioid Revolution Is Finally Here” smithsonian.com

Awesome work by Jon Kelvey, my colleague at the Carrol County Time. Bravo

“America's Long-Overdue Opioid Revolution Is Finally Here” - Thanks to advances in neuroscience, researchers are beginning to disentangle powerful pain relief from addiction, overdose and death

By Jon Kelvey, smithsonian.com, January 13, 2017

"The result 'could be a substantial advance in opioid pharmacotherapy,' Soergel and his colleagues reported in the journal PAIN in June of that year. ... This could be the first in what you might think of as a new class of opioids,' says Violin.

"And the truth is, it’s about time."

People in Carroll and across the state are talking about ways to tackle the problem of heroin and opioid abuse and the growing number of deaths attributed to drug overdoses. The best way is through constant educational efforts that start when kids are young and that are reinforced constantly throughout their school years.

Lance Armstrong and King Sisyphus by Kevin E. Dayhoff http://tinyurl.com/cctpxp2

August 29, 2012

Last Thursday, the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency decided, without a single credible shred of evidence, that since professional cyclist Lance Armstrong did not prove himself to be innocent, he is guilty and could not have been successful in his storied career without the use of drugs.

Before Mr. Armstrong retired from professional cycling in February 2010, he had passed approximately 500 drug tests in his long, celebrated, and distinguished athletic career. It is believed that there has never-ever been a single positive test…

http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=5314

[…]

“There’s something very much of the feel of a witch hunt to this. If Armstrong was doping, then by God take away his awards and give him a medal for being the smartest damn athlete on the planet.”

http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=5314

… we live in an era where the purpose of government is to criminalize the successful. Whether you are successful in business, art, professional sports – or whatever, the basic tenant of government is that you simply must be guilty of something. The purpose of bureaucracy is to prove it.

Whether you are guilty or not is unimportant. For the government, what is critical is that you be accused. That’s all that is necessary. The media will take care of the rest – by suggestion, innuendo, and nefarious association.

Your job is to endeavor to prove that you are innocent. It is a task that makes the myth of Sisyphus look easy.

You remember Sisyphus. There are many interpretations and versions of the story – including my favorite, “The Myth of Sisyphus” by Albert Camus… http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=5314

Seven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong's Statement of August 23, 2012 over the USADA doping charges

http://www.lancearmstrong.com/

http://lancearmstrong.com/news-events/lance-armstrongs-statement-of-august-23-2012

For more on this story go to: http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/ap-exclusive-lance-armstrong-decides-not-to-fight-usada-charges-puts-7-tour-wins-at-risk/2012/08/23/76b91448-ed8e-11e1-866f-60a00f604425_story.html?hpid=z1

AUSTIN, Texas - August 23rd, 2012 - There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in winning my seven Tours since 1999. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a two-year federal criminal investigation followed by Travis Tygart's unconstitutional witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for our foundation and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense.

I had hoped that a federal court would stop USADA’s charade. Although the court was sympathetic to my concerns and recognized the many improprieties and deficiencies in USADA’s motives, its conduct, and its process, the court ultimately decided that it could not intervene.

If I thought for one moment that by participating in USADA’s process, I could confront these allegations in a fair setting and – once and for all – put these charges to rest, I would jump at the chance. But I refuse to participate in a process that is so one-sided and unfair. Regardless of what Travis Tygart says, there is zero physical evidence to support his outlandish and heinous claims. The only physical evidence here is the hundreds of controls I have passed with flying colors. I made myself available around the clock and around the world. In-competition. Out of competition. Blood. Urine. Whatever they asked for I provided. What is the point of all this testing if, in the end, USADA will not stand by it?

From the beginning, however, this investigation has not been about learning the truth or cleaning up cycling, but about punishing me at all costs. I am a retired cyclist, yet USADA has lodged charges over 17 years old despite its own 8-year limitation. As respected organizations such as UCI and USA Cycling have made clear, USADA lacks jurisdiction even to bring these charges. The international bodies governing cycling have ordered USADA to stop, have given notice that no one should participate in USADA’s improper proceedings, and have made it clear the pronouncements by USADA that it has banned people for life or stripped them of their accomplishments are made without authority. And as many others, including USADA’s own arbitrators, have found, there is nothing even remotely fair about its process. USADA has broken the law, turned its back on its own rules, and stiff-armed those who have tried to persuade USADA to honor its obligations. At every turn, USADA has played the role of a bully, threatening everyone in its way and challenging the good faith of anyone who questions its motives or its methods, all at U.S. taxpayers’ expense. For the last two months, USADA has endlessly repeated the mantra that there should be a single set of rules, applicable to all, but they have arrogantly refused to practice what they preach. On top of all that, USADA has allegedly made deals with other riders that circumvent their own rules as long as they said I cheated. Many of those riders continue to race today.

The bottom line is I played by the rules that were put in place by the UCI, WADA and USADA when I raced. The idea that athletes can be convicted today without positive A and B samples, under the same rules and procedures that apply to athletes with positive tests, perverts the system and creates a process where any begrudged ex-teammate can open a USADA case out of spite or for personal gain or a cheating cyclist can cut a sweetheart deal for themselves. It’s an unfair approach, applied selectively, in opposition to all the rules. It’s just not right.

USADA cannot assert control of a professional international sport and attempt to strip my seven Tour de France titles. I know who won those seven Tours, my teammates know who won those seven Tours, and everyone I competed against knows who won those seven Tours. We all raced together. For three weeks over the same roads, the same mountains, and against all the weather and elements that we had to confront. There were no shortcuts, there was no special treatment. The same courses, the same rules. The toughest event in the world where the strongest man wins. Nobody can ever change that. Especially not Travis Tygart.

Today I turn the page. I will no longer address this issue, regardless of the circumstances. I will commit myself to the work I began before ever winning a single Tour de France title: serving people and families affected by cancer, especially those in underserved communities. This October, my Foundation will celebrate 15 years of service to cancer survivors and the milestone of raising nearly $500 million. We have a lot of work to do and I'm looking forward to an end to this pointless distraction. I have a responsibility to all those who have stepped forward to devote their time and energy to the cancer cause. I will not stop fighting for that mission. Going forward, I am going to devote myself to raising my five beautiful (and energetic) kids, fighting cancer, and attempting to be the fittest 40-year old on the planet.

How to identify a Meth Lab

I have been approached by several people lately wanting to know how to identify a Meth Lab.

Here are pictures of four Labs. I think it's pretty obvious which one is the Meth Lab. I hope this helps. Let me know if I can be of any further service in this matter.

Hat Tip: Mark Yount. The staff of Junction on approximately October 16, 1971… According to Yount, “… (Junction) opened it's doors for business in 1971, but there were many of us that helped fix it up when the county gave it to the non-profit organization in 1970. I remember being in there then at age 15 scraping and painting walls. Little did I know that I would be working there someday for nearly 25 years. Here is a picture from 1971 of many of the youth who helped make this project work.”

It was incorporated on September 27, 1971. A month after incorporation, on December 6, 1971, it opened its doors in the historic Carroll County Jail on Court Street in Westminster.

WESTMINSTER POLICE DEPARTMENT SUCCESSFULLY CONCLUDES UNDERCOVER DRUG OPERATION

WESTMINSTER POLICE DEPARTMENT SUCCESSFULLY CONCLUDES UNDERCOVER DRUG OPERATION

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

August 9, 2010

During the month of May, 2010 investigators with the Westminster Police Department Narcotics Section began compiling intelligence regarding the distribution of illegal drugs in the downtown area of Westminster. During the course of this investigation an undercover police officer was utilized to identify and make a series of hand-to-hand purchases of illegal drugs directly from a number of suspects. As a result of this 6-week undercover investigation, five (5) Grand Jury Indictments were obtained and served for the felonious distribution of illegal drugs to the undercover officer. Additionally, nine (9) search and seizure warrants were obtained and executed – each relating to the illegal sale and possession of drugs. A total of ten (10) individuals were arrested during the month of July pursuant to this investigation. It should be noted that an undercover police officer employed by the Frederick Police Department was utilized to conduct the undercover drug purchases here in Westminster – this accomplished under a Memoranda of Understanding between the two police agencies.

The following individuals were arrested on Grand Jury Indictments secured as a result of this investigation:

Robert Jerry Seville Jr., B/M, Age 19

1^st Block of W. George Street, Westminster

**Mr. Seville will be prosecuted as a subsequent offender based upon a prior conviction on drug distribution charges. He is therefore eligible for a 10-year minimum mandatory sentence.

Arrested:

Jean Marcelin (see indictment information above). Additional charges pending.

8) July 29, 2010 at PNC Bank, 132 West Main Street in Westminster

This search warrant involved the seizure of monies for forfeiture. These funds are believed to be the proceeds derived from the illegal distribution of drugs.

Additionally, the following individual was arrested on July 23, 2010 on a parking lot along East Main Street in Westminster immediately after he sold drugs to an undercover police officer.

Kenya Butler (see indictment above). Additional charges are pending.

U.S. currency seized for forfeiture: $11,031.69

Crack cocaine: Approx. 19.1 grams

Percocet: 4 pills

Hydrocodone: 8 pills

Oxycontin: 18 pills

Chief Jeff Spaulding is very pleased with the outcome of this investigation. According to Chief Spaulding, “this investigation clearly demonstrates our ongoing commitment to ridding our streets of those who would deal and use illegal drugs in our community. They should be warned that the person they are selling to could well be an undercover officer. I wish to express my sincere thanks to Chief Kim Dine of the Frederick Police Department and his capable staff for their assistance with this investigation. Interagency cooperation, such as that demonstrated in this case, is essential if we are to be successful in these times of stretched resources and lean budgets.”

Plummeting Marijuana Prices Create A Panic In Calif.

Legal pot, under the guise of the California's medical marijuana laws, has spurred a rush of new competition. As a result, the wholesale price of pot grown in California is plunging, worrying growers and dealers. "There's a tremendous amount of concern, borderlining on fear," says a former underground grower who now cultivates medical marijuana.

How did I miss this: Andrew Sullivan's Pot Bust Dismissal

How did I miss this: Andrew Sullivan's Pot Bust

Then again, above and beyond the not-so-small matter of double standards, do I really care?

Reihl World View: Federal Judge: Andrew Sullivan's Pot Bust Raises "Equal Protection Issues"

Federal Judge: Andrew Sullivan's Pot Bust Raises "Equal Protection Issues"

Update: Chill out folks, it's only pot. It isn't like he was caught using caffeine.

A Federal Judge claims Andrew Sullivan's recent arrest on a marijuana charge raises fundamental issues of law, though the charges have been dismissed. The judge believes the dismissal raises equal protection issues. However, he was forced to dismiss the charges at the DA's request, though feeling that justice was not being served. Hmm

The rest of the post excerpted below is here. The full decision can be read here.

I liked the remark on the whole matter by Vodkapundit in his post, “A blog item of Astounding Uselessness.”

It reads: “UPDATE: A retired “felony weight” pot distributor is ready to throw the book at Andrew. “Anybody stupid enough to get busted for dope is a danger to himself and others and should be locked up for the good of society. Dude, if you can’t outsmart a narc . . .”

And yes, of course, I liked: “Make point about the media feeding frenzy if, say, George Will had been busted for pot.”
