Zhao Yanxia was a retired public service employee. Police had detained Zhao in May for distributing information about the persecution of Falun Gong%mdasha spiritual practice the Chinese regime has been persecuting since 1999. Zhao received a three-and-half year sentence in September. She died on October 7th, 23 days after she was transferred to the women's prison. When Zhao's family saw her body, they noticed it was covered with bruises%mdashsuggesting she was beaten to death, according to the Falun Dafa Information Center. The center's executive director is appealing to the global community to hold the Chinese regime accountable. [Levi Browde, Executive Director of Falun Dafa Information Center]: "One of the things for doing this call on the international community is to hold the leaders, not just in Jilin Province where the prison camp is located%mdashto hold them accountable%mdashbut to hold the whole regime accountable." Browde says this case highlights the pervasive situation that affects every single one of the millions of Falun Gong practitioners persecuted in China.

Coffee Lowers Risk of Common Skin Cancer; Obesity Inhibits Effectiveness of Flu Shot; Poverty May Affect Child's Readiness for School (Week in Review)

(October 30, 2011 - Insidermedicine)
From Boston - A new report presented at the International Conference on Frontiers in Cancer Prevention Research finds that coffee may lower risk of basal cell carcinoma. Studying data on over 100,000 adults, researchers found that women who drank 3 or more cups of coffee a day had a 20% reduced risk of BCC, while men who drank 3 or more cups a day had a 9% reduced risk.
From North Carolina - Research published in the International Journal of Obesity finds that obesity may make flu shots less effective. Studying blood samples from volunteers who received the seasonal flu vaccine in 2009, researchers found that obese individuals had their antibody levels decrease much faster than individuals of a healthy weight.
From Washington, stress associated with poverty affects a child's readiness for school. Research published in the Child Development identified the way in which early stresses in the lives of children living in poverty affect the cognitive functions associated with the processing of new and confusing information, behaviour regulation, and adjusting to school. The children living in poverty were seen to have increased levels of the stress hormone cortisol, and this in turn was seen to have an inverse relationship to levels of executive cognitive function.

What Herman Cain Isn't Going To Tell You About Chile's Privatized Pensions
[LESS INFO] 4 VIEWS | ADDED 15:00:44 09/10/11
My chiropractor is a nice guy - a Republican, but open-minded. But because he's so busy, he doesn't know that much about what's going on (like the majority of Americans). I think he's fairly representative of the interested but under-informed voter.
Anyway, he asked me if I'd seen the Republican presidential debate; he wanted to know what I thought. "If I were a Republican? The only one I'd consider voting for is Huntsman," I said. "But of course you have to be a nut to win the Republican primaries."
"I thought Herman Cain seemed pretty smart. He was talking about making Social Security like the Chilean model," he said. "What do you know about that?"
"Oh, jeebus," I said. "The Chilean model. The same one that right-wingers have been trying to shove down our throats for 30 years ." (This was all mumbled, since I was face down on his table at the time.)
"First of all, it was a mess. It was imposed by Pinochet under his military dictatorship, and the generals revolted. They insisted they get to keep the old plan, and they did. Second, a lot of people didn't get anywhere near the money they actually needed to retire , but the administrators made a fortune."
I didn't even get into the meat of it. Chileans were charged exorbitant fees (15 to 20 percent for all costs) in order to choose which pension fund association in which to invest. Depending on which risk level they choose, they're equivalent to our mutual funds, IRAs or CDs; by law, they have to have a minimum return. From Contingencies, the magazine of the American Academy of Actuaries, March/April 1998: >
There are currently 13 privately run AFP's authorized to manage a private pension fund covering a group of workers. The original 12 in 1981 grew to 22 in 1993, but competition caused this to fall to 13. Investments now totaling around $30 billion are regulated by law, and about 28 percent is currently invested in equities, 42 percent in government bonds, 30 percent in Chilean financial institutions and companies, and a small amount in foreign securities.
So it's not like you get to watch CNBC all day and make a killing in the stock market -- you're limited to the official funds, and they all have roughly the same investments. And it's a much better deal for someone with a big paycheck. (IIRC, a big shortfall was caused by the fact that women, especially poor women, dropped out of the job market to raise children or take care of a sick relative. So when it came time to retire, they had very little money from which to draw. They since added a minimum benefit -- gee, sounds almost like their original Social Security program!)
The article goes on to warn about the private plans being pushed by Republicans at the time: >
In the event of a stock calamity in the fashion of 1929, the privatization groups tell us that the government, not they, will assume the responsibility of payments to retirees of specified minimum amounts. This will, of course, require that federal borrowing be repaid by the public. In addition, the purchasing power of retirees will be cut at a bad time for the economy. Workers in desperate need because of lost jobs or pay cuts cannot be expected to take kindly to a sharp reduction in their nest eggs and will likely make demands on the government for restitution.
Opportunities for fraud: The financial media have stories practically every day about scams being perpetrated on even highly sophisticated investors. Will the scamming of workers and their beneficiaries become a major growth industry? The lesson from Chile may well be summed up in two words: Caveat emptor.
The big hero of the latest right-wing push is Jose Piñera, former secretary of labor and social security and the architect of this pension plan. Would you be surprised to hear that he now draws wingnut welfare as a senior fellow at the Cato Institute? Of course not. Piñera founded "The International Center for Pension Reform" in order to promote the Chilean model everywhere else. I occasionally see him on my teevee. What I don't usually hear him acknowledge is that in 2008, the Chilean plan started moving back toward more government oversight and control.
But you won't hear many Bobbleheads talking about that. It might ruin the free market fairy tale.

Harvey's Comedy Club Fundraiser For Officer Paul Georgioff
[LESS INFO] 70 VIEWS | ADDED 21:23:05 08/18/11
Barry Kolin, the owner of Harvey's Comedy Club and Sergeant Willie Halliburton are teaming up to raise funds to assist recently injured Portland Police Officer Paul Georgioff. The fundraiser is scheduled for this Sunday, August 21 at 7:30 p.m., at Harvey's Comedy Club, located at 436 N.W. 6th Avenue. All of the door proceeds will go directly to Paul and his family and donations will also be accepted during the show. For those who cannot attend the show, donations can be made at any Wells Fargo Bank. Paul's Story: Paul, a 27-year veteran Portland Police Officer recently survived a motorcycle crash on July 17, 2011 in Lewiston, Idaho. The first few days in the OHSU Trauma ICU were touch and go. Paul's back was broken in three places; he had multiple broken ribs and a concussion; both lungs were collapsed; he had a lacerated kidney, liver and spleen; a bruised aorta; and one heck of a road-rash on his right arm (which he proudly showed to his sons). Paul has had two surgeries to fuse the breaks in his back to make it easier for his internal injuries to heal. Tragically, Paul will never walk again. He is currently undergoing physical therapy to strengthen his lungs to avoid pneumonia and to keep his body moving. Despite his pain, Paul's main concern at every turn has been for those he loves. He now must face a difficult journey and challenges that include retrofitting the family's split-level home to accommodate his wheelchair. The Georgioff family live in the Portland area and have given back not only to this community, but others around the world. Paul traveled to New Orleans twice at his own expense with Forward Edge, Intl. to help with the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. While there, he helped rebuild the home of a local pastor and the community church, which was involved with feeding many of the local residents who were also homeless. Paul's daughter, Allison, has been to Nicaragua to the Village of Hope to care for women and children who live in the city dump in Managua. Sons, Ryan and Ben, have been actively involved for several years as volunteer staff at Trout Creek Bible Camp, a summer camp for children. All community members and the media are invited to come and have an enjoyable evening while also helping a great cause.
