Performance enhancing supplements are a part of most people's everyday life whether it be coffee, cigarettes, Coke, or something "good for you" in a non-pharmaceutical sense of the term. No where is performance enhancement more sought after than in competitive athletics. This article reviews the historical background of performance enhancements and steroid use in sports. It then analyzes the unnecessarily unwieldy assortment of administrative bodies charged with testing, regulation, and disciplining policy offenders. A look at domestic legislative responses follows, along with a review of the disparate court and administrative decisions rendered in this area from both domestic and international bodies. Next, this article will look at some of the practical implications of these decisions to determine if the goal of ridding sports of these enhancements is truly desirable, remotely realistic and reasonably furthered by the actions of the decisions rendered. While some tangible suggestions on how the system can be reformed are offered, they also consider the prospects of simply changing the rewards available for those found to use unauthorized drugs instead of the ineffective approach of instituting after the fact bans and making examples of certain athletes. Without a concerted effort by more unified domestic and international bodies in conjunction with actions by existing or new governmental authorities there really is no hope for stopping illicit drug usage.

Colombia is among the most heavily mined nations in the world. The mines are deployed by illegal armed groups waging an internal armed conflict against the Colombian state going back many decades. Many of the mines are of Eastern European origin or improvised explosive devices, and poor documentation by the offending groups on where land mines are deployed has created a situation throughout Colombian territory where innocent civilians and livestock wander into unmarked or forgotten minefields and detonate the devices. This article examines the problem of landmines in Colombia and the challenges of holding illegal armed groups responsible for the deployment of deadly “silent sentinels.”

Part of the teacher-student relationship is created in the commenting process. Students make conclusions about the ethos of their writing professor based on the way in which students view the comments written in the margins of their papers. This article explores marginalia as discourse, composition theory, and rhetorical theory and develops principles that can underlie an ethos of commenting.
