Two videos from NLRB. The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) "now features two new videos on the site (www.nlrb.gov): 'Introduction to the NLRB Public Website' and 'How to Use CiteNet,' the Agency’s electronic legal research database." announcement (pdf) Introduction to the NLRB Public Website ("demonstrates how to find published decisions and administrative memoranda, how to ask questions via the website or to speak to a person, as well as how to use E-Gov, the Agency’s on-line services such as E-Docket, E-Filing, online forms, and E-FOIA requests." How to Use CiteNet (CiteNet is a free public service offered by the Agency to assist labor law professionals and the public with their legal research needs.) Hat tip to: IWS Documented News Service! [Free Government Information (FGI) blogs] 9:31:58 AM     Steroid Dangers I can remember back in high school talking to one of my friends on the football team about who on the team he suspected was using steroids. He assured me he didn't, but he did say he took some kind of protein-powder, muscle-building supplement. At the time I figured it was a better option than doing the illegal steroids. However, this week the FDA issued a public warning about products that claim to be to be dietary supplements with steroids or steroid-like substances. Major health problems, such as serious liver damage, stroke, kidney failure and pulmonary embolism have been reported in men between the ages of 22 and 55. These products could also cause the masculinization of women, male infertility and stunted growth in children. Really, a whole bunch of nasty side effects for something that supposedly makes your muscles bigger. There's nothing wrong with wanting to get into better shape, but there's a healthier way to go about doing it.
