SAN FRANCISCO John Kelly Hat , Calif. -- Forests Forever, a non-profit forest protection advocacy group, today announced that five employees of Lear Asset Management, a security contractor for Humboldt Redwood Co. (HRC), swept down on protesters camped near a logging road on Rainbow Ridge in the Mattole River watershed at about 5 a.m. yesterday (July 22).

With tasers drawn the guards forcibly restrained two non-resisting protesters who had refused a request to leave John Franklin-Myers Hat , placing them under citizens arrest and confiscating personal equipment including solar panels and a camera.

The guards contacted the Humboldt County Sheriff's Dept., which arrived on the scene about 8 a.m. and took custody of the arrestees, who were later booked and released with pending court dates. At this writing the road blockade remains in place.

At issue is about 1,100 acres of primary, or ancient Brian Allen Hat , forest consisting of Douglas-fir and diverse hardwoods, as well as natural coastal prairies. The area is vital habitat for listed species including but not limited to the Pacific fisher, pine marten, Northern spotted owl, Northern Goshawk Joseph Noteboom Hat , Golden eagle, Coho salmon, Sonoma tree vole, and the rare fungus agarikon (Fomitopsis officinalis).

Logging of these forests along Rainbow Ridge could take place under two currently approved Timber Harvesting Plans. Opponents of the plans have raised objections about the validity of at least one of these plans, as well as calling into question the "green" certification accorded to HRC by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). Not only is HRC logging virgin forest on its lands Rob Havenstein Hat , but also is poisoning hardwoods through the use of a highly controversial practice known as "hack and squirt." Such practices should disqualify any timber company from FSC certification, critics say.

Rainbow Ridge is run by San Francisco's Sansome Partners, of which the Fisher family (best known for its GAP clothing) are major investors.

On the other side of the fight are citizens groups including the Lost Coast League (LCL), which has undertaken conservation projects in the area since the 1970s. LCL has sought from HRC to permanently protect Rainbow Ridge, outright purchase being one option Tyler Higbee Hat , but thus far the company has refused.

Rainbow Ridge is bordered to the east by Humboldt Redwoods State Park, home of the Rockefeller Grove, at 9,000 acres the largest contiguous virgin redwood forest remaining in the world. To the west lies the King Range National Conservation Area.

Preservation of Rainbow Ridge would thus safeguard a corridor between the two neighboring areas, providing enormous conservation values in an age of species decline and global warming.

Trial reached primary endpoint of Diminishing new vertebral fractures and secondary endpoints of decreasing time to first non-vertebral and hip fractures; adverse events similar to placebo. The past president of the National Osteoporosis Foundation was excited.” I am particularly excited about these findings because they indicate that denosumab may offer an important new option for patients.”


Denosumab is the first fully human monoclonal antibody in late stage clinical development that particularly targets RANK Ligand, an essential regulator of osteoclasts (these are the cells that break the bone down). Denosumab is being considered for its ability to inhibit every stage of osteoclast activity by a targeted mechanism. Denosumab is being researched in a range of bone loss illnesses such as, postmenopausal osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and cancer treatment-induced bone loss in breast cancer and prostate cancer patients| in prostate cancer and breast cancer patients as well as for its ability to defer bone metastases and inhibit and treat bone destruction for many stages of cancer.


Often referred to as the “silent epidemic” Samson Ebukam Hat , osteoporosis is a world wide problem illness, which is growing in dominance as the population of the world both ages and increases. WHO, The World Health Organization has just claimed osteoporosis as a significant health issue along with other major non-communicable diseases. We are dependent on the pharmaceutical companies to help combat this horrendous disease.


According to Amgen the economic burden of osteoporosis is comparable to as the “silent epidemi’ to that of other major chronic diseases; for example, in the U.S. the costs associated with osteoporosis-related fractures are equivalent to those of cardiovascular disease and asthma (i)(ii)(iii). It has been reported that osteoporosis results in more hospital bed-days than stroke, myocardial infarction or breast cancer (iv).


Clinical pharmacist have been developing prescriptions drugs to help patient who experience serious side effects. These products are created almost at the same time as the medications that assist in the treatment of the primary illness. The fact that research is available to help anticipate the potential side effects and i.
