Sound Smart at a Party a woman made a surprising

discovery while gardening in her farm in sweden. Lena Paahlsson was picking carrots in her garden when she found one with her lost wedding ring around it. The white gold ring went missing 16 years ago when she took it off to bake with her daughters. When she noticed it gone from her kitchen counter, she and her family searched the entire house, even pulling up floorboards. They finally accepted the fact the ring was gone, but it did finally turn up—just more than a decade later. The family thinks the ring probably fell into the sink and mixed with potato peels that were fed to their sheep. Since the soil they use comes from composted vegetables and sheep dung, the ring ended up in the soil and eventually on a carrot. Paahlsson told a local news orga-nization it no longer fits on her finger but she intends to have it resized…

a Florida man is accused of taking matters into his own hands after he was beat up by four guys. Hubert Lee Credit allegedly stole an ambulance so that he could drive himself to the hospital to receive treatment for a puncture wound on his head after the

fight. His foolproof plan was thwarted when police caught up to him just a mile later using GPS. The Crisis Center of Tampa Bay sent another crew for the man the ambulance was originally intended to pick up. Credit was also treated at a hospital, but was taken to one extra stop. Jail…

a recent survey by a divorce website in the U.K. found one-third of participants cited Facebook as a factor in their divorce petitions in 2011. Divorce-Online gathered 5,000 people and found the social network-ing site showed up in 33 percent of behavior petitions. What were the factors? They were usually inappropri-ate messages to someone else, and once the couple had broken up, the site had been used to post personal and negative information about the soon-to-be ex. This year’s survey shows a 20-percent increase compared to an identical survey done in 2009…

Walmart is making the news for some interesting reasons. A total of 15 syringes have been found in clothing from a Georgia store since late November. The syringes have been

found both in the store and in clothing bought there, including inside a pair of children’s pajamas. Police are reviewing surveillance video in an attempt to find the culprit/culprits. Another Walmart store in North Carolina also made headlines when a man tried to pay for a vacuum cleaner, microwave oven and a few other items with a fake million-dol-lar bill. In answer to the question that is probably going through your mind right now: No, there is no such thing as a real million-dollar bill (the biggest bill in common circulation is $100). When the clerk pointed this little detail out, the man insisted that it was as real as Courtney Stodden. Needless to say, he was arrested…

“She was called the most hated woman in Britain because of policies that lots of people who are still in the political world helped her

construct, and they don’t endure the same hatred. She was hated for her hair and her

handbag and her clothes and her manner and the fact that she changed her voice.”

Letters to the PressBetter late tHan neVer

Dear Editor:Regarding “County Cleanup:

Steve Bellone Inheriting Big Mess in Suffolk,” (Dec. 22, 2011): I would like to begin by thanking you for recogniz-ing the fact that, despite my loss to Steve Bellone in November, I proudly continue to serve in county govern-ment “in a role crucial to the financial health of the county.”

And it is a role that I have always taken very seriously, and will continue to do so…moving forward with that same dedication and focus to the taxpayers of this county, committed to working with the new county executive who is willing to look at the situation realistically, and “honestly dealing with the crisis,” as he stated.

The fact that we were able to come through the campaign, with a mutual respect for each other, will certainly go a long way as we work together to get the County out of its fiscally

challenging situation.As I stated many times over the

course of the past few months, Suffolk County government is complex and, for it to work successfully, requires that all parties work together and understand that we are all partners…the county-wide elected officials and the members of the Suffolk County Legislature.

As we begin 2012, I would like to go on record, offering my sincere con-gratulations to Steve Bellone, along with my commitment to do all that I can to continue to be the experienced fiscal partner that he is going to need to help set the course of this County in the right direction.

I hope that along with this new leadership and spirit of cooperation that will exist amongst all the players, all the residents of Suffolk County will enjoy a healthy, happy and prosperous New Year.

the target Pink Slip

BrIan scHottenHeIMer Ny jets oFFeNsive CoordiNatorIf you could pin all the blame on just one body part for the way the Jets’ season fell apart,

then start with Coach Rex Ryan’s big mouth that kept on talking long after his players had stopped listening. They’re not going to the Super Bowl, despite his bluster. But dumping the whole disappointing team seems rather extreme. To get the ball rolling, one guy should take the fall. Rather than flip a coin, consult Shake-speare’s playbook: If it offends thee, pluck it out. Get rid of the offensive coordinator, Brian Schottenheimer, because he was not offensive enough. Under him, Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez actually got worse. It’d cost the team more than $3 million to jettison Schotten-heimer, but that’s small change to a big moneybags like owner Woody Johnson whose CEO pals pocket four times that much when they inflate their golden parachutes—and that’s after their incompetence has cost their poor stockholders millions. Giving away some lean green to get rid of someone Jets fans despise seems like the right call. And more important, making the right call at the right time is something that this son of a famous coach could never be counted on to do. Brian Schottenheimer, dunk your clipboard in the Gatorade barrel, hand over your headset, and go long: You’re fired!

B-List B-DayMarIlyn “satan’s My BFF” MansonjaN. 5, 1969Marilyn Manson is a Capricorn, represented by the goat and the blood-red stone garnet, and got his namesake by combining the names of a pop culture icon and a mass murderer. Capricorns desire power and success, especially the admiration of the masses. Manson—who, fun fact, is blood-related to Con-servative commentator Pat Buchanan—befriended occultist and Church of Satan founder Anton Lavey in the late ’90s, and later became a crimson card-carrying minister of Lucifer. Although Manson obtained platinum status and a cult following, his later projects haven’t been quite as rewarding. His signature absinthe, Mansinthe, released in 2007, was compared to toxic sewage water.

One of the great joys of writing, as in science, is the accidental discovery. To wit: penicillin. And while this entry hardly ranks near Alexander Fleming’s pharmaceutical breakthrough, it does relieve a particular itch that has been nagging my brain.

For months I have been vexed by the discrepancy in pricing between crude oil and natural gas. (Wait, I know how tedious commodities can be but I promise you this column is worth sticking with.) Unable to settle on any fundamental market-based explanation, I placed the issue on the mental backburner. It was only when I decided to update a series of articles on the role of specula-tion in the commodities markets that I happened upon the most plausible solution to this puzzle.

First, a little context. Over the past couple of years New York State has been flirting with the idea of hydraulic fracturing, or “fracking.” The discovery of enormous pockets of natural gas in the Marcellus Shale formation that runs from West Virginia, Pennsylvania and New York to as far as Ohio, has led to a mod-ern-day gold rush in the region, with Pennsylvania several years ahead of New York. While the gas has always been there, it wasn’t until the turn of the millennium when controversial chemical enhancements invented by Halliburton were added to a difficult horizontal drilling technique that accessing this gas became feasible.

Almost immediately, however, environmental concerns began to mount. Stories of contaminated groundwater, intense air pollution and, most recently, a ruptured fault line and mini-earthquake in Youngstown, Ohio, on Dec. 31, have begun leaking into public consciousness. Gasland, a docu-mentary by Josh Fox, increasingly agitated environmental orga-nizations, and high-profile activists such as actor Mark Ruffalo have helped fracking reach the tipping point in the media. Once seen as a panacea for rural land owners in depressed parts of the country, fracking has become a pariah in the environmental community, setting the stage for yet another battle between the oil and gas industry and environ-mentalists. Caught in the middle of the entire fiasco at the moment is Gov.

Andrew Cuomo, who is cautiously moving toward legalizing fracking in New York, though his public reticence highlights how tenuous this decision truly is.

Early on, I came down firmly against fracking in New York, and the Long Island Press was in the vanguard of reporting on it downstate. So I’m on record quite clearly as to why I believe fracking to be a disaster for New York, or anywhere else for that matter. No need to rehash this position. Still, one piece of the broader issue was missing—until now.

Here’s the issue: Fracking is expensive. The prolonged low market price of natural gas is the most logical deterrent to increasing drilling because it barely pays to pull the gas out of the ground. Moreover, the U.S. Energy Information Administration projects that natural gas demand in the United States should rise only 11 percent over the next 25 years compared to a projected rise of more than 300 percent in China over the same period.

Here’s where the market rationale gets murky. Analysts point to increased demand for fossil fuel in develop-ing economies as the primary reason behind the steady rise in oil prices. Goldman Sachs’ most recent forecast of Brent Crude Oil, commonly known as “sweet light crude,” is $120 a barrel for 2012, with most market analysts following suit. A weak dollar, the ongoing crisis and uncertainty in the Eurozone, a burgeoning conflict

between the U.S. and Iran, and continued growth in China, India and Brazil are the oft-given reasons

behind these prognostications. Historically, natural gas and

oil prices have generally moved in tandem, and with natural gas gaining momentum as the fossil fuel of choice, it only makes sense that they would continue their mirrored trajectory. Instead, the opposite has occurred. Crude oil remains stubbornly high and creeping ever higher while natural gas

remains depressed. A closer look reveals that the world

has record stockpiles of both fuels, and has developed incredible potential for new sources such as the Marcellus Shale play or the tar sands in Canada. Then there are the yet-to-be-developed fields in Iraq that, according to the New York Times, are “expected to ramp up oil pro-duction faster than any other country in the next 25 years, with a capacity…more than traditional leaders like Saudi Arabia.” Or, if you prefer, the real reason we went to war in Iraq.

Excess supply, new discoveries, and sluggish demand—and yet only natural gas is acting appropriately in the markets. This behavior is undeniable proof that the invisible hand of specu-lation is at work, which naturally begs the question as to why traders would suppress the price of gas but not oil.

For this answer we must turn back the clock once again and revisit several acts in Congress over the past two decades that made it possible for banks

to merge with investment banks and trade commodities without limits and without transparency. Much of this trading is done on the Intercontinen-tal Exchange, a trading platform that was founded and owned by Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs and BP. When you understand that markets today are dominated by investment banks and oil companies, who are at times one in the same (Morgan Stanley’s direct holdings in oil companies, fossil fuel infrastructure and transporta-tion companies make it one of the largest oil companies in America), it is possible to fully comprehend the psychology behind natural gas pricing. Oil companies and investment banks have the ability to move the market by forecasting prices and investing in their own products through opaque exchanges that they own, so no matter where prices are they are making money.

Now you’re ready for the secret behind the fracking con job.

As previously mentioned, domestic natural gas is difficult to procure. The process is devastating to human health and the environment, and the effects are irreversible. To gain momentum and influence public opinion, the oil and gas companies have launched an ingenious propa-ganda assault on America. By touting natural gas as the clean-burning fossil fuel that is cheaper to use and helps

reduce our dependence on foreign oil, the industry has nailed the PR trifecta: cheaper, cleaner and patriotic. And with an earnest pitchman like T. Boone Pickens, who wouldn’t believe it?

The problem is none of the above is true. First, natural gas might burn cleaner than oil but the process to extract it is so harmful it doesn’t matter. And second, because the same companies who are in control of the product are in control of the pricing, once they sew up the drilling rights they can simply jack up the price. This leaves the final argument that is wrapped in the American flag and served with a side of apple pie: reducing dependence on foreign oil for the sake of the union.

For the truth, let’s check in with the rest of the world to see what they say. (This was the happy accident that prompted this column.)

According to India’s leading daily business newspaper, the Business Standard, “the increasing shale gas

production in the U.S. has led to a surplus, likely to increase in the coming years. The U.S. is, therefore, eyeing export to countries like China, Japan, Korea and India… In the past, the U.S. has been an importer of gas.” The article goes on to quote

A. K. Balyan, chief executive officer of Petronet LNG, India’s largest liquefied natural gas importer, who states, “With an increase in U.S. gas production, the gas receiving terminals need to be converted to exporting terminals.”

Ta-dah! The average life of a fracking site

is seven years. At best. The environ-mental and human health catastrophe is forever. All of the current talk of job creation and reducing dependence on oil is a sham. Our natural gas stockpiles are higher than ever and the demand for natural gas, by our own country’s admission, will remain basically flat until 2035. The oil and gas companies are planning to export gas from the Marcellus Shale region to the same developing economies we’re supposed to be competing against. How’s that for homeland security?

The real insult? American oil and gas companies are willing to risk the health and welfare of our own citizens by fracking on our land in order to export fuel they claim is more benefi-cial to the environment. Normally, our companies are busy screwing up other countries in pursuit of their natural resources for our own consumption. As if this isn’t bad enough, they are finally committing the cardinal sin of shitting where they eat.

Let’s do the right thing for once: Ban fracking now. There’s no other way.

I’m still shaking. It all started the other day when I

climbed into the shower and started to soap up my entire body. (Those of you who know me may turn their heads now and retch at the thought of my chubby soaped-up body. I understand.)

Then I reached for my shampoo bottle and shampooed my beard and mustache. Those of you who have hair on your head may be amused that a man with a shaved head would shampoo his beard and mustache. I happen to find it reassuring to touch my head every morning and feel hair in my hand, albeit just a puny little beard and what many woman find to be a creepy mustache.

Now, with my beard and mustache filled with soap, I reached for the conditioner. That’s when I saw it. The world’s largest water bug had been attached to the back of the conditioner container, and now he was flapping his disgusting wings and coming towards me. I heard a woman screaming: “E… E…E…EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!”

Later I realized the woman I heard screaming was me. I have no idea how, but in less than a blink of the eye I was out of the shower. Did I fly over the shower stall? I checked the glass door of the shower to make sure I hadn’t crashed through it. It was in one piece.

I must have thrown the condi-tioner container—it was on the other side of the bathroom.

I watched the giant water bug drowning and doing what looked like a backstroke in the shower water.

I would swear from looking at him with his wings flapping that he had a first-class section and a coach section.

I watched the now-drowned water bug, which was way too big to go down the drain for a fitting funeral at sea. As I walked out, I told my wonderful housekeeper Rene about my terrible experience.

Rene, who has something nice to say about everyone, just shook her head and said, “You are such a coward.”

I thought of the last time a little critter frightened me this much was years ago in my home in New York City. I was in my bedroom stretched out in bed wearing only a pair of orange boxer shorts—not a pretty sight. It was a Sunday morning. My wife, the beautiful Judy Licht, had gone out for an hour and left me with explicit instructions to be dressed and ready to go out for brunch when she came home.

Now I turned on the bed to face the open bedroom door and a streak went out into the hallway and disap-peared into a bunch of bags Judy had left strewn all over the hallway.

“What is that?” I wondered. Then from between two bags it

emerged. A mouse. “AHHHHHH!!!” I screamed. Say “mouse” to me and I’m able to jump onto a 10-foot-high table like they do in all those cartoons. The mouse, only 20 feet away, was just sitting on the hallway carpet and I swear it was staring at me.

This is tough to admit, but at that point the mouse stared me down. I averted my eyes. I was no match for him. From 20 feet away he could smell my fear. I have no doubt that estab-lishing mastery over a fat guy wearing orange shorts is a very macho thing in his mouse world, and I’ll bet he was enjoying watching me back down.

“AHHHHHH,” I screamed again. I couldn’t take my eyes off of him.

Slowly I crawled on the bed to the phone and called on the intercom to my son J.T., who was upstairs in his bed, in his shorts.

“J.T.,” I whispered. “There’s a mouse down here.”

“Ahhhhhh,” he said. “That’s disgusting.”

“The ‘chicken’ apple doesn’t fall far from the ‘chicken’ tree,” I thought with a sense of pride.

Judy came home, took one look at me and said, “You’re not dressed!”

“Good call, Sherlock! There’s a mouse in the hall—I’m afraid of it.”

Let me put it this way: Of all the un-romantic things a man could tell a woman, admitting a fear of a mouse is at the top of the list. I would imagine it would take between five and 10 years for a woman to see a man as a romantic sexual hero after he admits to fearing a mouse.

“Where is he? I’ll get him,” Judy said in a macho way that really irritated me. “How ... how ... how ... can you be such a wimp?” she snarled, looking for the mouse, which had disappeared. That’s when I drew myself to my full six-foot height and mustered as much dignity as a man wearing only orange shorts could muster and I said, “You listen here, it takes a real man to admit he’s afraid of a mouse.”

Let me add water bugs are now right up there with mice as things that I’m afraid of. Whether it’s a giant water bug or a small mouse, that “real man” stuff is overrated.

� e Cherrywood Footcare located in Bellmore was recently voted “Best Podiatrist on Long Island” by the Long Island Press for good reason. Dr.Burke and the sta� of Cherrywood Footcare o� er cutting edge emerging technologies that treat many ailments as well as boasting a friendly sta� and a modern o� ce.

Cherrywood Footcare is a leader in podiatry. It’s not only a� liated with two local hospitals but also has a state of the art operating room within the o� ce. In fact, Cherrywood Foot Care is one of only a handful of podiatrists in the county o� ering laser therapy for fungus nails with one of the most advanced laser systems.

Plantar warts, also known as verruca plantaris, are the most common viral infection of the skin. Plantar warts are noncancerous skin growths on the plantar surface, or the sole, of the foot. � ey can be found anywhere on the foot but tend to produce symptoms in areas of pressure and friction causing pain and discomfort. � e human papilloma virus causes warts infecting only the super cial layer of skin entering through tiny cuts, breaks or other vulnerable areas on the skin. It is estimated that 7-10 percent of the U.S. population is infected, most commonly a� ecting children but also seen in adults. Infection typically occurs from moist walking surfaces such as showers or swimming pools. � e virus can survive many months without a host, making it highly contagious. After infection, warts may not become visible for several weeks or months. Because of pressure on the sole of the foot or toe, the wart is pushed inward and a layer of hard skin may form over the wart that can often be mistaken for a callus or corn. � ey may fuse or develop into clusters called mosaic warts.

Some signs and symptoms of a plantar wart include small, rm, � eshy, grainy lesions or growths on the soles of your feet, which

can resemble a cauli� ower; hard, thickened skin over a well-de ned spot on the skin,where a wart has grown inwards; black pinpoints which are small, clotted blood vessels; pain or tenderness when walking or standing; and the virus does thrive in warm, moist environments and also needs a point of entry into the skin such as cuts or dry skin.

Plantar warts require treatment especially people with diabetes, nerve damage in their feet or weakened immunity. People with these conditions need treatment under a podiatrist’s supervision to closely monitor the treatment e� ect and the quality of the wound healing. Plantar warts are usually self-limiting within a few years, but treatment is generally recommended to lessen symptoms, which may include pain, decrease duration and reduce transmission. It’s much easier to treat a few small warts than several large warts. Plantar warts can stubbornly resist treatment. � erefore, most treatments require patience, persistence and multiple interventions.

Cherrywood Foot Care o� ers a variety of methods to treat this contagious condition based on individual needs as well as severity of the condition.

To reduce the risk of plantar warts, avoid direct contact with warts including your own, keep your foot clean and try by changing shoes and socks often; don’t go barefoot in public areas by wearing sandals or � ip-� ops in public pools, showers and locker rooms; don’t pick at your warts, by picking they may spread to other parts of your foot and hands; don’t use the same le, pumice stone or nail clipper, your warts a you use on your healthy skin and nails; and wash your hands carefully after touching your warts to prevent spreading the infection.

aUdrey l. leWIspresideNt & Ceoe joy CommuNity resourCe CeNter, iNC.

Audrey Lewis has devoted her life

to serving others. A retired Gulf War veteran, Audrey was a supply sergeant in the 140th field service in the U.S. Army. When she returned to civilian life on Long Island, this Roslyn Heights resident became active in the non-profit community, as a volunteer and as recruitment director at Life’s Worc in Garden City. When she was laid off during the 2008 recession, Audrey took the opportunity to assemble a business plan for a much-needed community center in her own neighborhood.

A year later, her plan came to fruition when she founded the E Joy Community Resource Center,

Inc., based at the Friendship Baptist Church in Roslyn Heights, where Audrey’s husband, Victor, is Pastor. Audrey named the resource center after her late mother in law, Edwinor Joye Lewis.

“We had a great relationship,” Audrey says, “I wanted to honor her memory.”

Audrey’s leadership and hard work has enabled the E Joy CRC to grow tremendously and offers hunger relief as well as addressing the long-term health and safety concerns for many Long Islanders.

What started in 2009 with 50 families at her Roslyn Heights location has grown to 200, and E Joy’s reach now includes Manhasset, Great Neck, Albertson, Mineola and Williston Park. In Suffolk County, the E Joy CRC in Holbrook is providing services to about 50 families.

“We give what we can, to whom we can, as much as we can,” she says.

The recession continues to impact more Long Islanders who then need E Joy’s assistance because they simply can’t stretch their paychecks far enough to make ends meet.

“We are seeing people who are working and never needed assistance before,” Audrey says.

Asking for help for something as basic as food and clothing can be both awkward and humbling, especially for the employed. In many cases having a job can be a Catch 22, making a potential candidate for assistance ineli-gible for government-supported programs such as food stamps, yet even with a job they are unable to afford the basic necessi-ties. Thankfully, through E Joy, they can obtain enough food to feed their family. For those that have never even contemplated applying for food stamps, Audrey provides weekly on-site SNAP enrollment.

Audrey’s original concept was to have a one-stop resource center in a central place that would provide a variety of services. She has accomplished that goal and more. In addition to the E Joy CRC food pantry and the Catholic Charities food commodity program, E Joy dis-tributes clothing and school supplies, provides a job readiness program and offers ESOL workshops (English for Speakers of Other Languages) and a summer lunch program for children. Another priority for Audrey is helping senior citizens with their special dietary needs and keeps them connected to the community by providing a place for them to gather and enjoy exercise

classes and various workshops.For 2012, Audrey plans to offer

a weekly computer class that will be equipped with laptops that were refur-bished and then donated by Friendship Baptist Church members. Although E Joy CRC is not directly affiliated with the church, Audrey says that they help each other out when needed.

Providing services to the formerly incarcer-ated to help get them back into the workforce and the community is another program that Audrey is planning to introduce this year.

As a growing number of Long Islanders are experiencing the effects of the recession, Audrey believes it is essential to network in

the community and establish new con-nections and collaborate with other businesses and non-profits.

“No organization is an island,” she says. “You can’t function by yourself.”

E Joy’s small administrative size hasn’t been a deterrent to its rapid growth, it has made Audrey more nimble than some of her larger counterparts.

“I’m not restricted,” Audrey says. “If I see a need, I can address it imme-diately.”

Darryl WooDy was booked at Nassau County jail last Christmas. He had been arrested the night before, pleading not guilty to domestic violence charges.

In the early morning hours of Dec. 26, 2010, the 44-year-old pulled a piece of metal from the smoke detector in his cell and began stabbing himself repeatedly in the neck and wrists.

The corrections officer guarding the overnight tour commanded him to stop.

Woody, of Hempstead, who reportedly was bipolar and schizo-phrenic and unable to make the $30,000 bail or $60,000 bond, had stripped nude from his suicide-pre-vention gown—made of material incapable of forming a noose. Ignoring the orders, he continued to stab himself about the face and neck.

Another officer arrived to assist. The two guards shouted for Woody to drop the weapon and stop injuring himself. Through the cell door’s meal hatch they fired a one-second burst of pepper spray into his face.

No effect.A sergeant that had also just

arrived on the scene ordered Woody to put down the piece of metal. He continued to slash his face. The officers fired a second blast of pepper spray; still no effect. Another.

A fourth officer arrived to help. Woody ran to the back of his cell as the guards burst in.

“I told them when I came in I needed my medication, and they didn’t give it to me!” he cried out, his voice echoing through the cell block as he was taken to a shower for decontami-nation. “I did this to get my meds, I’m sorry, but I need them!”

Ten days later—a year ago this Jan. 3—Woody hanged himself with a bed sheet anchored to medical equipment while on suicide watch at the now-defunct prison ward in neigh-boring Nassau University Medical

Center in East Meadow. Those and other details, many blackened out, were documented in routine New York State Commission on Correction investigative reports on such deaths, obtained by the Press via Freedom of Information Law requests.

“Woody’s death may have been prevented but for the grossly inad-equate psychiatric care provided him in the jail and hospital, and the lack of appropriate supervision by the NUMC,” reads the top finding of the Commission’s heavily redacted Final Report of Darryl Woody.

Woody is not alone. Before him, three other inmates committed suicide at the jail in 2010—the first a year prior to the day of Woody’s demise—matching the number of suicides at Erie County jail in Buffalo; both counties individually comprising one-third of all jailhouse suicides in the state that year, according to the state Division of Criminal Justice Services.

To be clear: Those numbers strictly pertain to jails, not prisons. Jail inmates include those awaiting trial—innocent until proven guilty, but unable to make bail—and those

serving misdemeanor sentences of a year or less, as opposed to prisoners, who serve lengthier sentences in upstate penitentiaries—such as Ossin-ing’s Sing Sing or Clinton Correctional in Dannemora—for serious felonies.

In the months following the four deaths, Nassau privatized health care at the jail, inmate advocates began calling for a legally required local oversight board and Sheriff Michael Sposato tightened proverbial belts amid a 3-percent cut in the county jail’s $146 million budget. The guards’ union warns such cuts could worsen conditions at a Long Island jail already described as “the worst” by violent felons who’ve spent years in maximum-security upstate New York prisons.

“If history is to repeat itself,” John Jaronczyk, incoming president of the Sheriffs Officers Association—the 1,032 guards’ union—told the county legislature Oct. 12, “there will likely be an increase in inmate lawsuits against the county claiming unsafe condi-tions and the department’s failure to protect them, increase in injuries to both inmates and officers alike, increased amounts of uses of force by staff brought on by violent criminals who are angry with their unsafe condi-tions and increased limitations of their incarceration.”

Harsh words for a place where the bad old days at the jail ended in just 2005, when federal oversight following the 1999 beating death of an inmate stopped. Four corrections officers were sentenced to prison in that case.

Of course, no one expects spending time in the Gray Bar Hotel to be as whimsical as when fictional evil wizard Gargamel escapes in scenes shot there for the 2011 movie, The Smurfs.

“The fact is, if someone is intent on taking their life, there’s very little you can do,” County Executive Ed Mangano told a reporters’ roundtable

after a spike in suicides, health care changes and budget cuts, new calls for oversight of Nassau jail.

when asked about the deaths three months after Woody’s suicide. That’s why there are strict legal guidelines regulating suicide questionnaires upon inmate intake, and guards carry a special knife called a “cut-down tool” to quickly saw through makeshift bed-sheet nooses.

Despite these and other concerns, Nassau’s inmate population is actually growing, thanks to the county’s fiscal crisis. The jail this year got the OK to rent cells to Suffolk and federal author-ities short on space for inmates—one of the ways Nassau hopes to close its projected $310 million budget gap. About 1,500 inmates are estimated to be held at the jail on any given day, depending upon the ebb and flow of the criminal justice system.

Inmate advocates, civil rights pro-ponents and sheriffs’ union officials warn the situation in Nassau jail will likely get much, much worse before getting any better.

loCKeD UPWhile researching the complaints

pouring in, local inmate advocates uncovered a 1990 provision in the county charter mandating a citizen oversight panel of medical and civil rights experts that would take inmate complaints and make recommen-dations—but the past three county executives never appointed or staffed such a board. After lobbying county lawmakers went nowhere, the activists rallied on Nov. 28, 2011, outside the Theodore Roosevelt Executive and Legislative Building in Mineola, demanding action.

“These people in jail have civil rights, and [they] should be protected,” Douglas Mayers, president of the Freeport/Roosevelt NAACP chapter, told the legislature after protesting outside. “They’re human beings like us.”

His comments included fewer graphic allegations than speakers before him in a parade of former inmates, family members of inmates and affiliated nonprofit groups who’ve joined forces in the fight. Proponents say the board would be similar to one in New York City.

“I’m hoping that it doesn’t have to end up in a lawsuit,” Samantha Fred-rickson, director of the Nassau chapter of the New York Civil Liberties Union, tells the Press. “I’m hoping that the county will do the right thing and abide by the county charter.”

Yet county officials aren’t tripping over themselves in support. Sheriff Sposato believes that the Board of Visitors, as it is called, would be redundant.

“The department already works with and responds to a number of oversights at this point,” he said in a

statement issued through the jail’s attorney and spokeswoman, Elizabeth Loconsolo, declining to comment on specific allegations of abuse. “It may be that the Board of Visitors was never con-stituted as it would just create additional, duplica-tive work and could cause some confusion and con-tradictory reports and/or recommendations.”

Aside from the state corrections commission monitoring, incidents at the jail are investigated by the county Commis-sion on Human Rights, police, prosecutors, the department’s own internal affairs unit and an inmate grievance unit—a unit that advocates argue is under-staffed. In addition, there has been a Jail Advisory Committee made up of East Meadow community leaders since the late 1980s following rallies opposing its expansion.

“Unless that jail is safe, then the community will not be,” says Legis. Norma Gonsalves (R-East Meadow), who has sat on the committee since its inception when she was a civic activist. “We want to see that the inmates are taken care of,” she says of the current committee while researching the visitors’ board idea.

Fredrickson says that the current jail committee isn’t for inmates; it’s for neighbors concerned about inmate escapes, including East Meadow High School and district officials from across the street on Carman’s Avenue. The mandated board would be made up of experts from beyond the immediate community. And she notes that it isn’t up to Sposato, it’s Mangano who is tasked with the appointments.

District Attorney Kathleen Rice, who had called for expediting reviews on jail deaths, says through a spokesman that she is taking a wait-and-see approach on the advisory board issue until Mangano makes a decision. The county executive’s office did not answer questions on the administration’s position on the visitors’ board, but a Mangano spokes-woman forwarded Sposato’s aforemen-tioned statement opposing the idea.

The visitors’ board was estab-lished under former Republican County Executive Tom Gulotta, who appears to have set the example of not appointing members for his Democratic successor, Tom Suozzi, to follow. Gulotta never started the initial nomination process 21 years ago nor

amid revived efforts following the ’99 beating death, according to Newsday reports at the time.

Legis. Judy Jacobs (D-Woodbury) has said that, unlike many of the issues brought before the legislature, this should not break along party lines.

“This really is not a partisan issue,” Jacobs told the visitors’ board proponents at the legislative chamber in November. “This is not a time for finger pointing.”

Armor Correctional Health Services of New York, a Florida-based company, won an $11.8 million contract to provide health care at Nassau jail starting in June. It joins 12 other jails statewide that have done the same with other such firms. For the first time the jail now has an infirmary equipped for IVs, detox, treating infections and other ailments, saving precious overtime costs by no longer having to send guards with inmates next door to NUMC, Mangano and Sposato say.

It was the Mangano administra-tion’s first privatization of a county service—which garnered far less fanfare than similar moves for Long Island Bus and plans for the sewer system. However, critics charge that Armor could be a case of the cure being worse than the disease. It’s

no cure-all—inmates requiring more serious treatment will still be treated at the county’s public hospital.

This remains a point of contention for some.

“There are still inmates that are assigned to the hospital, and there are open posts now in the hospital,” Jaronczyk, the union head, said at the legis-lature’s October budget hearing, referring to the closure of the NUMC prison ward. “So now citizens of Nassau County are going to be in a hospital room right next to a possibly violent inmate.”

When Jaronczyk tried to debate Sposato over the issue, Presiding Officer Peter Schmitt (R-Massapequa) cut in: “We’re looking to do

more with less because that’s what the outside economy demands of us.”

The hospital insists it’s a moot topic: “We have always had patient prisoners on the floors of the hospital,” says Shelley Lotenberg, spokeswoman for NUMC.

And getting violent at NUMC or other hospitals is not a crime exclusive to Nassau jail inmates. Last Christmas Eve—the night inmate Woody was arrested following a struggle with police—a 27-year-old emergency room patient broke a police officer’s leg.

Fredrickson, of the ACLU, says inmate complaints to her office are up since Armor took over. Sposato has said that is to be expected, since inmates prefer leaving the jail to go to NUMC for every ailment, no matter how small. All agree there was room for improvement from the stories of the pre-Armor days.

“I never thought about it until I worked there,” Patricia Dellatto of Wantagh, a former Nassau jail nurse who now heads the Nassau Inmate Advocacy Group, told the legisla-ture. “I would go home every day depressed, crying…It was one story after another.” Besides inmates waiting days for treatment, she said, “I would be chastised if I sent somebody to the ER.”

Armor representatives declined to comment for this story.

SUiCiDal TeNDeNCieSIn the state Commission on Cor-

rection reports critiquing the jail’s response to each of the four suicides, none of the recommendations on how to prevent future deaths were as harsh as in Woody’s case.

Aside from admonishing the jail to retrain staff on protocol, improve supervision and keep better records—themes in all four reports, although each case is distinct—the commission also recommended that the state health department investigate two NUMC doctors for “gross negligence and gross incompetence” in caring for Woody, according to his report.

NUMC spokeswoman Lotenberg said suggestions in the reports should be directed to the jail and Armor since the hospital is no longer contracted to handle the bulk of inmate health care.

“We’re trying to get to the truth,” says Robert Grundfast, the Stony Brook-based attorney representing the Woody family in a lawsuit against the county, jail and NUMC seeking $140 million in damages. “We just want to see who did what, when and where.”

Before Woody, 29-year-old Hearve Jeanot of Deer Park hanged himself in his cell on Oct. 27, 2010, just hours after a jury convicted him of first-degree murder in what authorities described as a 2004 contract killing—following two hung juries and an earlier conviction that was overturned.

“Hopefully, greater precautions have been put in place to prevent further tragedies,” William Petrillo, the Rockville Centre-based attorney who represented Jeanot, tells the Press.

The two suicides that preceded Jeanot’s involved inmates with admitted drug dependencies—inmates who are plentiful amid LI’s heroin and prescription painkiller abuse epidemic—injecting yet another issue regarding adequate services at Nassau jail into the debate.

Weeks earlier, Gasparino Godino, 31, of Bethpage—known to friends as Reno—was found hanged in his jail cell Oct. 5, 2010, after he and his girlfriend were arrested for allegedly snatching purses to feed their heroin habit. And 10 months prior to that, 32-year-old Eamon McGinn of Brooklyn did the same on Jan. 3, 2010, after he sur-rendered to Glen Cove city police for stealing from his mother-in-law to score Oxycontin, the widely abused brand name OxyCodone prescription

painkiller, and speedballs, a mix of cocaine and heroin.

Godino’s girlfriend was too dis-traught over his death to comment after she pleaded not guilty to robbery charges. McGinn’s family is suing the county and the hospital.

“They didn’t take him in right,” says John Nash, the Manhattan-based attorney for the McGinn family. “They didn’t medically assess the risk factor for a fellow who was an admitted abuser of drugs.”

The lawsuits come as the guards’ union maintains jail budget cuts will increase tensions and do little to keep such allegations under lock and key. They also come amid pushback from Sposato regarding some of the state Committee on Correction reports’ findings and remedial recommen-dations, according to Janine Kava, spokeswoman for the commission.

“These four cases are complex and are comprised of a significant number of issues and problems,” Kava tells the Press. “In some of them, the sheriff has accepted the Medical Review Board’s recommendations. In others he has refused to accept findings upon which recommendations are based and has resisted making any changes.

“Implementation of those rec-ommendations the sheriff agreed to will be the subject of site verification visits over the course of this year,” she continues. “However, the commis-sion will continue to insist that all of the Medical Review Board’s recom-mendations to prevent recurrence of these unacceptable outcomes be imple-mented. There are a number of actions the commission can take if compliance is not forthcoming, but enumerat-ing them at this time would be purely speculative.”

As Nassau continues to wrestle with its fiscal crisis, advocates for the ever-increasing inmates at the county jail will continue to press for better oversight of the facility and the instal-lation of a board of visitors. In the meantime, contend critics, at the heart of the matter is a battle to save lives.

“Add up all these ingredients that are County Executive Mangano’s and Sheriff Sposato’s budget menu,” Jaronczyk told the legislature, mocking the sheriff’s ascent from his start as jail cook. “Top that all off with a limited response that’s available to respond to these emergencies, and what you have here is a recipe for disaster.”

“The fact is, if someone is intent on taking their life, there is very little you can do.” —nassaU coUnty execUtIVe ed Mangano

sUFFolK coUnty execUtIVe steVe Bellone: reForM tHe PolIce dePartMent

Former Suffolk Police Commissioner Richard Dormer was championed by ex-County Executive Steve Levy for riding roughshod over the police union to make policing more cost effective, but he left the department under a cloud as new doubts arose over claims about the county’s “reduced” crime statistics. Dormer’s handling of the Gilgo Beach serial killer investigation made him the butt of ridicule. Now that he’s gone, Bellone has to quickly make good on his promise to end the division between the police and the sheriffs that he claims is crippling law enforcement and imperiling public

safety, just as the U.S. Justice Department is slated to release its report at any time on the police department’s handling of hate crimes. The new county executive has to be ready for this bombshell, even though these allegations occurred on Levy’s shift. Bellone’s promise of a new era of transparency will surely be put to the test.

nassaU coUnty execUtIVe ed Mangano: MaKe Increased transParency a toP PrIorIty

Still struggling to close a 2012 budget gap of $310 million, Mangano could improve his image—not to mention the perception of his deficit-cutting schemes—with much more sunlight. Long Island Bus’ 100,000 daily users weren’t able to see the details of his deal with the new operator Veolia until the contract was con-summated. Most residents were in the dark about his $1.3 billion plan to turn Nassau’s sewer system over to

a private operator until shortly before the county’s Dec. 31 deadline to award the contract to a company to run it. Hundreds of middle-class families didn’t know whether they’d have a job or not until days before the New Year. Some happy holiday, huh? Being open and honest with taxpaying voters, combined with mean-ingful public input far in advance of crucial legislative votes instead of last-minute, do-or-die shadowy initiatives, is not just transparent government, it’s better govern-ment. Nassau residents deserve it.

sUFFolK deMocratIc cHaIrMan rIcH scHaFFer: BeWare tHe PoWer oF BaBylon

Returning to Babylon Town Hall as supervisor might look good on his resumé but it’s not the kind of career move one would expect from Rich Schaffer, the most powerful Democrat never to leave Long Island, because he’s already “been there, done that.” Sure, Babylon’s a great town, and with Schaffer’s former protégé, Steve Bellone, moving to the county execu-tive’s office in Hauppauge, the place deserves some continuity of inspired leadership. But the temptation

to form a Babylon Cabal when it comes to awarding municipal contracts could reach Biblical proportions—and fuel a lot of political envy from politicians of all persuasions, including his own party—and that would be a sin. Schaffer has a golden opportunity to show what good government really looks like, as long as he remembers to put the people first. All the people, even those in Islip, say. The last thing this county needs is town warfare!

nassaU legIslatUre PresIdIng oFFIcer Peter scHMItt: no More rUBBer staMPs

People want time to voice their concerns regarding programs and initiatives that will directly affect the future of their families and their wallets. They want a chance to weigh in meaningfully—and know that their input matters. They want to see the details, read the fine print. More discussion on key issues (the Long Island Bus contract, the potential leasing

or sale of the Nassau sewer system, for example) far in advance of a vote would not only boost public perception that what they’re getting is above-par, but would ensure taxpayers are getting the best deal. “Vote now, explain later” only benefits those insiders who stand to profit. Or so it seems. Schmitt (R-Massapequa) could do a lot more to change that perception than mock the hapless people who dare to vie for his attention at a last-minute public hearing.

sUFFolK rePUBlIcan cHaIrMan JoHn Jay laValle: don’t sPoIl a good tHIng

The severe fiscal problems facing Suffolk County are not as bad as its next-door neighbor’s—not yet anyway—but it must be tempting for the local Republican leader John Jay LaValle to want them to worsen just enough so that the Democrat who beat his party’s candidate has a hard time solving them. The pugnacious party boss might want to listen

to the better angels of our nature, as Good Old Abe Lincoln used to say, and let Republicans and Democrats in the legislature work together in keeping with the body’s bipartisan tradition and spare the county the divisive rancor that has made Congress so ungovernable. They don’t have to harmonize on “Kumbaya,” but LaValle’s got to let the caucus members of the GOP “agree to disagree” without becoming too disagreeable. Otherwise, Suffolk’s credit rating, which has dipped, will slide down a slippery slope steeper than the Cliff Diver ride at Splish Splash.

neW yorK state senate MaJorIty leader dean sKelos: aPProVe coUnty execUtIVe ed Mangano’s tax assessMent deal

Nassau taxpayers are forced to cough up $100 million annually due to deficiencies with the county’s hemorrhaging tax assessment system. One simple way to stop the bleeding would be for the NYS Senate to adopt a system similar to New Jersey and Connecticut’s, which reins in the increases. Skelos

(R-Rockville Centre), as top Republican honcho in the Senate and the leader of the so-called “Long Island Nine” GOP senators, could make that happen any time he wants. But he hasn’t, costing Nassau taxpayers hundreds of millions.

nassaU dIstrIct attorney KatHleen rIce: Pay strIcter attentIon to tHe PolIce crIMe laB

Just like former Nassau County Executive Tom Suozzi, ex-Nassau Police Commissioner Lawrence Mulvey, and too many others, Rice also professed total ignorance of the hor-rendous mismanagement of the police crime lab, which had gone on for years. Last February, she urged County Executive Ed Mangano to shut it down. Some signs were pretty hard to

miss if Rice—or any member of her staff for that matter—had ever set foot inside the lab. “At one point,” wrote New York State Inspector General Ellen Biben in a long-awaited November report, “the floor [in the Firearms Sections Lab] had rotted to the extent that one analyst fell through the floor.” Rice could restore the public’s confidence in the accuracy of Nassau’s criminal justice system (and save taxpayers boatloads in the future) by embracing Biben’s recommendations—one being that “all district attorney offices, to the extent they do not already have one, designate a lab liaison within their offices to monitor issues relating to laboratory analysis, accreditation, and matters before the Forensic Commission.”

actIng nassaU coUnty PolIce coMMIssIoner tHoMas dale: transForM tHe dePartMent

The NYPD’s former chief of personnel has his work cut out for him overseeing a department plagued with allegations of favorable treatment for members and donors of nonprofit Nassau County Police Department Foundation, non-trans-parency regarding asset forfeiture funds and a shuttered police crime lab, not to mention facing more belt-tightening and the

closing of two precincts. Though he’s been bumped up another $50,000 while his department and many others across Nassau face deep slashes, Dale would do best listening to the concerns of his rank-and-file as much as he does the county executive’s office.

tHe great adVIce yoU’ll needby staCy kee

Four teachers at Jericho High School told us the best advice they have ever received in order to share it with their students.

Mr. Sean Mills, Earth Science teacher, and Mr. Edward Klobus, Physical Education teacher both gave advice about the importance of education. Mr. Mills said, “Get an education. It’s the only thing that your parents can’t take away from you. My father told me this advice and I’ve used it all my life. I use it and pass it down. Even now, I can apply it because I am

an educator.” Mr. Mills mentioned how education changed his life. He was able to earn the title of teacher because he knew how important being educated was.

Mr. Klobus said, “Academics come first. Always, always. Nothing else is above academics. I’ve stressed this to my players and to my own children. Also good time management. Organiza-tion is the key.” Mr. Klobus constantly reminds his students that their number one responsibility is to study. He advises students to take a break with sports and catch up with school work when falling behind.

Ms. Louise Milliman who has been

teaching Photography and Digital Arts classes for the past 21 years, and Ms. Laura Gilfedder, another art teacher here at Jericho High School, gave advice about life. Mrs. Milliman said, “Don’t be afraid. Don’t ever be afraid. Don’t be afraid to think outside of the box. Don’t ever be afraid to be yourself. Celebrate yourself! In high school, I used to follow the norms, trying to fit in. Then I met my photography teacher and she told me to not be afraid to look at the world differently and take shots differently. At the time, I thought it was tough, but it got easier and my work paid off. I got a

four year scholarship to study photog-raphy in New York. Just from daring to be myself. So, don’t you ever be afraid.” Mrs. Milliman says being yourself is important because it is the best way to find out who you are and what you want to do with your life…

Ross Barbera paints the natural sunlit world of the northeast landscape in acrylic on canvas, creating works that

range from extreme close-ups of pond surfaces, trees, forest floors, leaves and flowers to more encompassing views. He is inspired by the interplay and diversity of textural surfaces, form and color elements, especially on water surfaces and his flower paintings embrace the abstraction discovered in the microcosmic. sunday, 1.8-sunday, 2.26. —Daphne Livingston

reId Paley @ grey horse taverNEven though this Brooklyn-born singer-songwriter might garner some recognition

from concert-goers who saw him open for the Pixies Paramount show back in November, Reid Paley actually has quite a creative history with the band’s frontman. As well as being the former lead singer for Pittsburgh post-punk blues outfit The Five, Paley has also co-written a number of songs with Black Francis/Frank Black and actually got around to releasing last year’s self-titled full-length Paley & Francis. Recorded in a quick two-day jag, the ten songs find the duo alternating vocal duties while managing to wonderfully weave in disparate elements of doo-wop, ‘70s-era Roxy Music, early Tom Waits and a hint of Captain Beefheart into one of 2011’s best sleeper albums. Expect more of the same in Bayport. Friday, 1.6 —DGdR

Movies by PraIrIe MIller

The iroN lady the weinstein Company, rated pg-13

An inquiry into the decade-long reign of the first and only British female head of state in the 1980s—and for that matter the first woman ever to head a world power—the Margaret Thatcher biopic, The Iron Lady, has succeeded in antagonizing both liberals who have denounced her, and her own arch conservative supporters who feel this portrait in her declining years is disrespectfully weak. It’s a debate occasionally akin to a bar room brawl, and even embraced by each opposing side as evidence of their respective warring points of view. And while some may interpret this as a balanced perspective in the movie, the reality is the film has elicited such criticisms by saying practically nothing at all.

The dramatic devices that diminish political controversy are quite blatant. First, Meryl Streep, a universally appealing movie star, is chosen to play Thatcher, rather than say, a Brit who might have really voraciously sunk her teeth into the role, like Judi Dench, who is currently so ferocious in Clint Eastwood’s J. Edgar as Hoover’s tyrannical mom, that she comes off as more intimidating than he is.

Thatcher is portrayed on screen as virtually showing up out of nowhere in Parliament for no compelling personal reason in particular, and instantly whipping all those male wimp politicians into line when actually, in a case of the other way around and not unlike Sarah Palin, Thatcher was groomed and manipulated to project a dishonest female empowering public image—the better to snatch the women’s vote away from the liberal Labour Party, and ensure Tory conservative victory.

loosies iFC Films, rated pg-13

Twilight’s baby-faced perpetual patriarch Peter Facinelli impresses in Loosies, as having a lot more going for him than just being stuck in neutral as a repeatedly born-again typecast vampire.

Making his screenwriting debut, Facinelli likewise stars as a Big Apple mean streets maven pickpocket, who’s got the brains to match his brawn—until an overload of cocky self-confidence kicks in, and his con game world comes crashing down.

Facinelli is Bobby, son of a set of parents with unhealthy gambling habits. Dad, who racks up half a million dollars in unpaid gambling debts before he dies, is the worst of the pair, with Mom sticking to Bingo nights.

But even though a death threat looms over Bobby’s head, forcing hiim to bring in stolen goods daily to pay off his father’s ruthless loan shark, a little Stockholm Syndrome materializes along the way too. In other words, Bobby begins to get a rush out of the risk and danger of the indictable deed, and injects a bit of creative fun into the proceedings, such as dressing up like a Wall Street player when he’s roaming the elite vicinity for the pockets of gullible swells and tourists to dip into.

This leads to an encounter that varies from his strictly commitment-challenged stud perspective, with Lucy (Jaimie Alexander), a barmaid over at a boutique neighborhood bar called Loosies (which is also what single cigarettes bought at bodegas are called). Lucy is not only infatuated with Bobby and tries without success to track him down, but finds herself pregnant after this brief encounter.

Directed with raw, comedic flair and seedy inner city atmospheric perfection by Michael Corrente (American Buffalo, Federal Hill), Loosies may be on the predictable and sudsy narrative side when dealing with brooding baby mom issues.

As for Facinelli, whose alias is well-behaved bloodsucker Dr. Carlisle Cullen, let’s just say his moves on screen in Loosies display a notable talent for extending his previous narrow range. But the unremarkable romance in the story could have definitely benefited from a lot more bite.

An advanced line of prod-ucts produced by famousBeverly Hills plastic surgeonDr. Frank Ryan is now avail-able to the public.

Previously these productshad only been available to Dr.Ryan’s clients which includedOscar winning Hollywoodmovie stars and celebritiesacross the nation. These prod-ucts substantially improvepersonal appearance withoutplastic surgery.

Dr. Ryan, perhaps the mostfamous Hollywood plasticsurgeon in recent times, wasextensively featured on televi-sion and in magazines acrossthe nation. Dr. Ryan was alsoone of the first professionalstaff members of EndlessYouth and Life which pro-vides products and servicesthat make celebrities look andperform many years youngerthan their age.

On August 16, 2010 Dr.Ryan died in a tragic car acci-dent. It was Dr. Ryan’s wish-es that Endless Youth andLife would make his ad-vanced non-surgical productline available to the public inthe future. Endless Youth andLife is now complying withDr. Ryan’s wishes.

The first product being of-fered to the public is Dr.Ryan’s most popular non-sur-gical personal appearanceenhancement product, Dr.Frank Ryan’s Abdominal FatReducer.

Abdominal fat is the moststubborn fat to reduce and it isalso the most hazardous fat tohealth. Abdominal fat pro-duces destructive hormonesthat spread throughout thebody. A clinical study hasshown that Dr. Frank Ryan’sAbdominal Fat Reducer canreduce your pot belly withoutchanging your diet or physicalactivity.

A double blind clinicalstudy was conducted on Dr.Frank Ryan’s Abdominal FatReducer. The study was com-missioned by Advanced Sup-plement Research and used aresearch group which con-ducts clinical studies for themajor drug companies.

The test subjects in thestudy lost significant weightand reduced their pot bellywithout changing their diet or

physical activity. People whowere not exercising or dietinglost weight and pot belly aswell as those who were exer-cising and dieting.

The study also showed thatDr. Frank Ryan’s AbdominalFat Reducer significantly in-creased calorie burning so thatyou lose weight faster or youcan eat more food withoutgaining weight. And, the studyfound that the all natural Dr.Frank Ryan’s Abdominal FatReducer pill produced weightloss safely.

How does Dr. Frank Ryan’sAbdominal Fat Reducer work?

It was found in a numberof research studies that a sub-stance called ConjugatedLinoleic Acid (CLA) decreas-es abdominal body fat in threeways: 1.) CLA decreases ab-dominal body fat mass by de-creasing the amount of ab-dominal fat that is stored aftereating; 2.) CLA increases therate of fat breakdown in ab-dominal fat cells; and 3.)CLA increases the rate of ab-dominal fat metabolism whichdecreases the total number offat cells. You can think ofCLA as a match that lights thefuse in abdominal fat. Thisfuse also increases metabolicrate that can result in more fatloss. Dr. Frank Ryan’s Ab-dominal Fat Reducer containsthe effective dose of CLA.

CLA interferes with anenzyme called lipoprotein li-pase (LPL). LPL is an en-zyme that helps store fat inthe body.2 So, by inhibitingthis fat-storing enzyme LPL,CLA can help reduce the re-accumulation of fat.

CLA also helps the bodyuse its existing abdominal fatfor energy, thereby increasingfat oxidation and energy ex-penditure.

Dr. Frank Ryan’s Abdomi-nal Fat Reducer also containsother super highly advancedall-natural ingredients thathelp reduce abdominal fat.

Studies have shown thatDr. Frank Ryan’s AbdominalFat Reducer ingredients in-crease the rate of fat metabo-lism, which reduces both sur-face and intestinal abdominalfat and helps inhibit future for-mation of these abdominalfats.3, 4, 5 One of these ingredi-ents is a very high quality and
