Screening Options
Screening tests range from simple, home-based tests to more sophisticated procedures involving special medical equipment. Your doctor will recommend one of the tests below or possibly a combination of tests:
Digital Rectal Exam
The doctor will don a glove, lubricate a finger, and insert it into the rectum to check for unusual growths or formations. For more information, click here.
Pros and cons: This test only takes about two minutes and is convenient. However, it examines only the lower rectum and should not be the sole means of screening for colorectal cancer.
Fecal Occult Blood Test
Sometimes cancers or polyps bleed, and this test is designed to discover the "occult" or hidden blood in your bowel movement that may not be visible to the naked eye. To take the test, in the privacy of your bathroom, you use a small stick to smear a small amount of stool on a special card. You do this for three days in a row, and then send the cards to your doctor's office or a lab for testing.
Pros and cons: Compared to other techniques, fecal occult blood test is less costly and more convenient. However, it must be repeated every one to two years to be effective as a screening tool. Your doctor may recommend that fecal occult blood testing be combined with another screening technique such as sigmoidoscopy or a barium enema.
A sigmoidoscope is a thin, flexible, lighted tube. Before this procedure, you'll need to take an enema to clean out the bowel. Then the doctor will insert the tube through your rectum into your colon. If he sees a small polyp, he'll remove it. One disadvantage is that because the sigmoidoscope is only about 2 feet long, the doctor can see only part of your colon. For more information, click here.
Pros and cons: Although sigmoidoscopy can be uncomfortable, it usually takes only about 10 to 15 minutes. It is less costly, less time-consuming and less invasive than colonoscopy. However, it examines a smaller portion of the colon and therefore is less effective in detecting cancer. Like colonoscopy, sigmoidoscopy allows your doctor to remove polyps on the spot.
The colonoscope is a longer version of the sigmoidoscope. With it, the doctor can see the entire colon. The day before the test, you'll need to take laxatives to clean out the bowel completely. Just before the test, the doctor will usually give you a sedative to relax you - you'll need someone to drive you home, as you won't be able to drive yourself. The test normally takes about 30 minutes. If the doctor finds a small polyp, he'll remove it by using a wire loop passed through the colonoscope. The polyp is sent to the lab to find out if it's malignant (cancerous) or benign. If your doctor sees a large polyp or tumor, he'll cut a small piece of it (called a biopsy), take it out through the colonoscope, and send it to a lab for testing.
Pros and cons: Colonoscopy is the most effective screening test for detecting colon cancer. However it is also the most costly and time-consuming. Colonoscopy is also the most invasive screening test, and therefore the riskiest. Although it rarely happens (one to three times in every 1,000 procedures), the colon might accidentally become perforated.
Barium Enema With Air Contrast
This X-ray test is also called double contrast barium enema. It uses a chalky chemical called barium sulfate and air to outline the lining of the colon and rectum. The doctor gives an enema of barium sulfate, which is held inside the colon while X-rays are taken. Air pumped into the intestine can help sharpen the X-rays. The test takes about 30 minutes. The bowel preparation with laxatives and enemas is similar to the one for colonoscopy.
Pros and cons: Barium enema offers an alternative for people who don't want to undergo sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy. It provides a picture of the entire colon but may miss small polyps. In addition, if the test uncovers a polyp, you must undergo colonoscopy to have it removed. Cost is usually more than sigmoidoscopy, but less than colonoscopy.

Research Area: Coupling of neuronal activity and energy metabolism at the cellular and molecular levels. Cytochrome c oxidase as a metabolic marker for neuronal activity. Transcriptional regulation of cytochrome c oxidase and neurotransmitter receptors. Metabolic and neurochemical plasticity in the adult visual system. Critical period of neurochemical and metabolic development in brain stem respiratory neurons. Photobiomodulation of neurons functionally inactivated by toxins.
Our laboratory is interested in the ability of mature neurons to undergo plastic changes in response to altered functional demands. The central hypothesis is that neuronal activity and energy metabolism are tightly coupled; thus, the level of an energy-generating enzyme such as cytochrome c oxidase should correlate positively with the level of neuronal activity.
Since cytochrome c oxidase is a highly sensitive marker of neuronal activity, we are investigating its mechanism of regulation in the brain. We have found that the level of activity of this enzyme is regulated at its protein level, which, in turn, is regulated at its message and mitochondrial DNA levels. Moreover, the molecular activity, amount, and mRNA of this protein in the nervous system are under the tight control of neuronal activity.
Cytochrome c oxidase is one of only four proteins in mammalian cells that are bigenomically encoded. Its largest three subunits are encoded in the mitochondrial genome and form the catalytic core of the enzyme, whereas the other ten subunits are encoded in the nuclear genome. Thus, it serves as an excellent model for studying bigenomic regulation of proteins. Neurons also pose a unique challenge in that mitochondrial genome in distal dendrites and axons can be far removed from the nucleus. The key question is, how do the two genomes coordinate their regulation to form a functional holoenzyme with one-to-one stoichiometry of 13 subunits? Does one genome play a more important role than the other? Are there transcription factors that can serve as bigenomic coordinators?
Two candidates have been found: nuclear respiratory factors 1 and 2 (NRF-1 and NRF-2). These transcription factors directly activate all 10 nuclear-encoded cytochrome oxidase subunit genes as well as indirectly regulate the 3 mitochondrial-encoded subunit genes by activating other transcription factors, mitochondrial transcription factors A and B (Tfam, Tfb1m, and Tfb2m), which play important roles in regulating the transcription and replication of mitochondrial DNA. Recently, we found that all 13 genomic loci interact in the same dynamic transcription factory in the nucleus. An important transcriptional co-activator of NRF-1 and NRF-2, known as PGC-1a (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator-1a), is also under study.
If neuronal activity is tightly coupled to energy metabolism at the cellular level, is it possible that the two processes are co-regulated at the molecular level? We are exploring transcription factor/s that may play such a dual role. Thus far, we found that NRF-1 transcriptionally co-regulates cytochrome c oxidase and vital glutamatergic neurochemicals, such as Grin1 and Grin2b of NMDA receptors, Gria2 of AMPA receptors, and Nos1 (neuronal nitric oxide synthase). Moreover, NRF-1 regulates the expression of Kif17, a known motor for its cargo, NR2B. Such transcriptional coupling ensures that energy supply keeps pace with energy demand of glutamatergic synaptic transmission with high efficiency and precision.
Wong-Riley, Eye and Brain in press, 2010
Another research area is probing for the metabolic, neurochemical, ventilatory, and physiological bases of a critical period in respiratory development. The impetus for this research is that SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) has its peak incidence not at birth, but between the 2nd and 4th postnatal months, suggesting that there is a critical period of postnatal development when a seemingly normal infant may succumb to SIDS. In a rat model, we found a narrow window toward the end of the 2nd postnatal week when sudden, unexpected, and significant neurochemical, metabolic, ventilator, and electrophysiological changes occur in normal animals, and when their responses to hypoxia are at their weakest. During this time, the system is under much greater inhibition than excitation measurable at the cellular and electrophysiological levels. The evidence of such a critical period of normal postnatal development has significant relevance to the understanding of SIDS.
A third area of interest is the effect of near-infrared (NIR) light on energy metabolism in neurons. NIR has been known to promote wound healing, but its mechanism is poorly understood. It turns out that cytochrome c oxidase with copper centers is a key photoacceptor in the NIR range. When we treated cultured primary neurons poisoned by various toxins with NIR, their energy levels returned toward normal and the incidence of apoptosis was drastically reduced. Currently, we are probing the mechanisms further with both in vivo and in vitro approaches. The goal is that NIR may rescue neurons partially damaged by diseases, such as Parkinson's Disease.
Our long-term goal is to unravel some of the molecular mechanisms related to metabolic and neurochemical abnormalities in human neurological and mitochondrial diseases.

What is the Cooler?
The Red Barn has become well-known throughout the state as Utah's fruit stop. We have always taken pride in the fact that most of our fruit is grown, harvested, and packed right here in Utah Valley. Because of the importance that we place on the quality of our fruit, we abhor the thought of our beautiful, flavorful, fresh fruit sitting on a room temperature shelf becoming soft and mealy. That's where the cooler comes in. The cooler is a big refrigerated room where the temperature is always kept at 34 degrees Fahrenheit. We store all of our fresh fruit in the cooler, greatly enhancing its quality. It allows the fruit to keep its fresh texture and flavor, while waiting to be consumed. We invite you to come cool off and taste for yourself the Red Barn Cooler difference!

Pension Reform Mirrors Brown Proposal
February 22, 2012 - By CalWatchdog Staff FEB. 22, 2012 By KATY GRIMES With the recent pension reform ballot initiative defeated before it ever made it onto the ballot, many in California believed that taxpayers would never get a change to vote on the escalating pension debt predicament. However, the game has changed mid-play, with the Legislature stepping up this week to assist the Governor with his pension reform plan. Why? Because, according to Republicans, the $240 billion in California pension debt is not going away. Republicans Support Governor's Proposal Despite being largely ignored for any and all pension reform proposals during the past year, Republican lawmakers announced today a package of pension reform bills to support Gov. Jerry Brown's recent reform proposal. At a Capitol press conference today, a large group of Assembly and Senate Republicans said they are reaching across the aisle to ask Democratic lawmakers for support of Brown's pension reform proposal. Republicans said they also plan to propose other necessary reforms to augment the plan in order to stop abusive pension practices, and bring public employee pensions more closely in line with the private sector. "Republicans believe that the Governor should have an up-or-down vote on his pension reform plan," said Senate Minority Leader Bob Huff, R-Diamond Bar. "While we have heard Democrats give lip service about supporting his plan, none of their Members have committed to supporting it, or even carrying it." Huff explained that was a big part of the motivation behind Republicans' decision to present Brown's pension reforms in the form of legislation. "We have not changed one comma, one period or one word," said Huff. This is his plan as he wrote it, and we will stand with him to see it passed." "Governor Brown's pension reform plan represents the first step of the changes that must be enacted to get our runaway pension system under control," said Assembly Minority Leader Connie Conway, R- Tulare. Recent studies have estimated that California's total ongoing unfunded state pension obligations could be as high as $500 billion. The Republicans referred to a Public Policy Institute of California poll, which found that 83 percent of Californians agreed that the amount of government spending on pensions is a big problem for the state. "Local governments across the state are wrestling with their own pension reform problems," said Assemblyman Cameron Smyth, the author of the Assembly's pension reform bills. Senator Mimi Walters, R-Irvine, reminded the media that Republicans have been asking for colleagues to pass meaningful pension reforms. "I have introduced many of these myself. And, as a member of the pension reform conference committee, I've remained hopeful that the committee would move forward with the governor's modest reforms," said Walters. "However, the persistence of special interests to derail any serious efforts to fix our massively underfunded pension systems is hampering any significant progress. That is why it is imperative that we act now and entreat our Democrat colleagues to work with us." Huff said that while the legislative timeline for the reforms "could be glacial," Republicans were getting to work on the bills immediately. Senate Constitutional Amendment 18, by Huff; Senate Bill 1176, by Huff; and Assembly Constitutional Amendment 22, by Smyth; and a second Assembly Bill still pending, also by Smyth, will be the Republican's legislation. After the press conference, Smyth added, "The bills are a mirror image of the governor's pension reform plan, and are made up of components we negotiated last year with the governor."

The buzz around the state of the visual effects industry reached a fever pitch this winter when prominent effects house Rhythm & Hues filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in mid-February. Further attention was pointed at the men and women who create whole worlds from a blank green canvas during the Oscars, when VFX artists held a protest near the ceremony, which honored Life of Pi – a movie with effects by Rhythm & Hues – with an Academy Award in the visual effects category. The complaint? Movies like The Avengers, The Hunger Games, and The Lord of the Rings trilogy have scored big at the box office, grossing millions, sometimes billions worldwide, but the VFX industry that brought Asgard, Panem and Middle-earth to life doesn't reap the same benefits as the studios.
The movement has spurred supporters to change their Facebook and Twitter profile photos to a green box, representing the green screen that would appear in movies were it not for VFX. Blogs have popped up that feature photos of what movie shots looked like before visual effects turned Andy Serkis into Gollum, before Mark Ruffalo was turned into the Hulk.
And more and more visual effects artists and their colleagues are speaking out about their financial woes and the changes to the business that they want to see. Last Thursday visual effects artists gathered for a meeting dubbed Pi Day VFX Town Hall (the name dually referencing Life of Pi and the March 14 holiday, as well as the artists' frequent call for their "piece of the pi"). Panelists spoke to and took questions from a group of industry members at the Gnomon School of Visual Effects in Los Angeles, and VFX artists from around the world (including Vancouver, B.C., London, San Francisco, Austin, Tex. and New Zealand) connected via Google+ Hangout for the international discussion.
To help sort out the issues at hand in all this, EW talked to several Hollywood visual effects artists as well as with Roland Emmerich, director of visual effects-driven disaster movies Independence Day, Godzilla, The Day After Tomorrow, and 2012, as well as the upcoming White House Down. We also reached out to several other directors of effects-driven films and representatives for major Hollywood studios and for the Directors Guild of America. None returned EW's request for comment for this article.
Just how bad are the financial woes of the visual effects industry?

The Land Trust For Tennessee And The Fund Partner With State Of Tennessee In Campaign To Purchase 6,200 Acres At Fiery Gizzard
September 16, 2010
View from Fiery Gizzard Trail. Photo by The Conservation Fund.
Monteagle, TN — The Land Trust for Tennessee and The Conservation Fund, with support from the Friends of South Cumberland State Park, today announced the Fiery Gizzard Project, a campaign to protect approximately 6,200 acres of high conservation value forest on the South Cumberland Plateau in Marion and Grundy counties. Upon completion, the campaign will cap a multi-year effort to raise $8.1 million to protect the property, half of which has been committed by the state of Tennessee through the State Lands Acquisition Fund and federal grants.
The land links together nearly 10,000 acres of forestland between Grundy Forest State Natural Area and TVA's Foster Falls Small Wild Area. Under Governor Phil Bredesen's leadership, the state's investment will purchase approximately 2,900 acres to be incorporated into the South Cumberland State Park system; the other half will be protected through a working forest conservation easement and remain privately owned.
The Fiery Gizzard area has been an urgent priority for protection within the conservation community for several decades. In addition to its exceptional biological diversity, Fiery Gizzard provides incomparable recreational opportunities while serving as an important resource for water quality protection and the local forest products industry.
The Fiery Gizzard trail system is managed by the state of Tennessee as part of South Cumberland State Park, an area visited by more than one million people each year. The trail system is approximately 17 miles long and is one of the top hiking trails in the nation according to Backpacker magazine. With more than 250,000 visitors annually, Fiery Gizzard is essential to the tourism economy in the South Cumberland region.
"Fiery Gizzard is nationally recognized for recreation, and threatened by development," said Governor Phil Bredesen. "By leveraging resources to preserve this land, we will be able to both protect the breathtaking scenery and important ecological features at the site for future generations, as well as continue to draw visitors to South Cumberland State Park, enhancing tourism and the local economy in one of Tennessee's rural areas." The Fiery Gizzard Project total cost is $8.1 million. The project is the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation's highest priority project and they have committed to contributing over $4 million. With the expected sale of half the property to a conservation buyer for $2 million, $2.1 million will need to be raised from private sources.
Once the campaign secured over $1 million through private donations, an anonymous donor offered a challenge grant to encourage the community to complete the campaign. Once an additional $767,000 is raised, the donor will provide a gift of $333,000, ultimately matching 50 cents for every additional dollar contributed. The support from the community has been substantial and the project has $650,000 left to raise.
In 2008, developers had moved forward with plans to purchase the property for a second-home development. Fortunately, the transaction was not completed and there was another opportunity to protect this critical property. This will likely be the last opportunity for Tennesseans and the communities of the South Cumberland region to protect this amazing resource.
Although frequently listed as one of the premier backpacking destinations in the country, the Fiery Gizzard Trail is surprisingly vulnerable. Until recently, most of the trail system and its associated views traversed through private lands. In 2008, The Conservation Fund and The Land Trust for Tennessee, with assistance from the Friends of South Cumberland State Park, preserved nearly a third of the Fiery Gizzard trail and 2,400 acres of the viewshed from fragmentation and development.
"The purchase of the Fiery Gizzard tract at South Cumberland preserves both the trail and the viewshed into the future," said Environment and Conservation Commissioner Jim Fyke. "This opportunity won't come along again. We appreciate all the efforts of our conservation partners, and particularly want to recognize the late Marvin Runyon, a long-time member of the Friends of South Cumberland State Park, who was instrumental in securing nearly $2 million in federal grant funding to initiate a series of Fiery Gizzard acquisitions."
At a time when federal, state and local governments confront budget deficits amid economic recession, conservationists' work is unquestionably affected. But the risk to open space, wildlife habitat and scenic recreation areas remains, and in the South Cumberlands, conservation organizations, government agencies, local private landowners and political leaders are forging unique partnerships and finding creative solutions that advance conservation in the region.
"The public-private partnership for Fiery Gizzard reflects the highest ideals for conservation of special places in Tennessee," said Jean C. Nelson, executive director of The Land Trust for Tennessee. "We feel fortunate to be able to protect these valuable acres from incompatible land uses and provide both economic and ecological benefits to the area. We have received support from across the country on this project, and all of us in the non-profit conservation community are forever grateful for the leadership Governor Bredesen has taken to make possible the protection of Tennessee's important lands."
"This is the crown jewel in the necklace of gems that is the South Cumberlands," said Rex Boner, vice president and southeast representative for The Conservation Fund. "Not only does Fiery Gizzard have tremendous natural resources, it also has a significant impact on the local economy, through forest products and recreation tourism, which is absolutely vital to these rural communities. We are grateful for the huge amount of support already from the public and private sector, and we look forward to working with the local community to help us get to the finish line."
"We are so pleased to be working with The Land Trust for Tennessee and The Conservation Fund to protect this unique and beautiful wilderness resource," said Mary Priestley, president of the Friends of South Cumberland State Park. "The importance of the Fiery Gizzard as a wildlife sanctuary, ecological gem, and haven for human 're-creation' is inestimable. The Friends of South Cumberland have pledged to help with the acquisition of land that threatens the pristine nature of the park. This project to protect the Fiery Gizzard's undisturbed landscapes is at the heart of what we are all about."

Injured Washington Redskins right tackle Jammal Brown received a second cortisone shot for his problematic left hip this week, as he and the team's doctors hold out hope that he can avoid a second surgery since 2009, a person with knowledge of the situation said Wednesday.
Brown has been hampered by the hip in each of the last two seasons, and he re-injured it running sprints during team conditioning drills on the eve of Washington's training camp July 25.
Brown had an MRI conducted in New York on July 31. Coach Mike Shanahan said the next day that the findings showed Brown had inflammation in his hip, but would not need surgery and would continue to receive treatment from the team's medical staff in the hope he could return to action.
No timetable was set for Brown's return. He has remained on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list, but so far, the treatment hasn't helped much.
Last Saturday, Shanahan said, "He is still pretty sore. He gets treatment a couple times a day. I don't see much improvement, but hopefully it comes quickly."
Brown's inflammation hasn't subsided much at all, according to the person familiar with Brown's condition. "There's a lot of stuff going on in there," they said.

What is the main theme of 'Beowulf'? Has this theme been sustained from the beginning to the end? Explain.
1 Answer | Add Yours
If it can be stated as such, the main "theme" of Beowulf deals with honour and bravery, according to a code of ethics precursing the feudal code of medieval times. The values exemplified in 'Beowulf' focus on the consensus of 'allegience for protection' but more in terms of a lord's duty to his vassals than the other way around.
As 'Beowulf' is the most ancient verse known in English literature, the story line, including of course character development, must be historically and culturally decoded for an appropriate appraisal. The same goes for the values and code of conduct embraced. As a teacher, I find the aspect of the heroic boast the most interesting element of the story.
As to your second question, the fact that in the end Beowulf dies takes some of the hot air out of the exaggerated proportion ('bigger-tha-life') typical of the epic hero stereotype. In the same breath, his death makes him more human, and therefore easier to identify with.
Below you will find more information concerning 'Beowulf' and its 'message' in historical context.

South African Born Elon Musk set for His "Mission to Mars"
It was bad South African TV that gave Elon Musk part of his mysterious edge. As a 10-year-old he read whole volumes of the Encyclopaedia Britannica after emptying the family bookshelves—anything to avoid another episode of ChiPs or Die Man van Intersek.
Entrepreneurial, Aspiring, Enterprising, Risk taking, Driven, Visionary, Goal oriented, Enthusiasm and constant willingness to exploit new ideas and opportunities, these are the words that best describes the South African born billionaire business magnate, engineer and inventor Elon Musk. Elon is best known as the co-founder of the world largest internet payment system Paypal, He also founded SpaceX, a space transport company headquartered in Hawthorne, California, Tesla Motors a silicon valley based manufacturer of electric cars, SolarCity, a provider of energy services to homeowners, businesses and government/non-profit organizations. Elon is really changing the world.
He is currently the CEO and Chief Designer of SpaceX, CEO and Product Architect of Tesla Motors and Chairman of SolarCity.
When One of Elon's companies (SpaceX) Dragon capsule landed in the Pacific Ocean on May 31, 2012, it was indeed a great feat for Elon Musk and his company the SpaceX.
To hear Elon Musk talk about his career and his long term goal of making life multiplanetary, listen to this 2009 interview with Musk.
Successful missions to the International Space Station (ISS) in the past have only been accomplished by four other nations: USA, Japan, Russia and the European Space Agency.
When "Dragon," was able to carry up to seven astronauts into orbit and beyond, it made history by becoming the first privately owned commercial spacecraft to successfully attach to the International Space Station, It was definitely a good day for Musk as he said on Twitter – "Dragon captured by the International Space Station! Just awesome …"
Elon Musk was born in Pretoria, South Africa, in 1971, he is the son of a South African father and Canadian mother. Elon matriculated at Pretoria Boys High School in the 80's, he later graduated with a degree in Economics from Wharton, and a Physics degree from the University of Pennsylvania, Musk bought his first computer at the age of 10 and taught himself how to write computer programs; by the age of 12 he sold his first commercial software for about $500, it was a computer game on space which he called Blastar.
Musk afterwards left Stanford University to start his first business project – Zip2 – which was a business to build websites for media companies, an online content publishing software for news organizations which he later sold this to Compaq in 1999, Zip2 was acquired for US$307 million in cash and US$34 million in stock options.
He moved on to start X.com, In February 2001, X.com changed its legal name to PayPal Inc, in October 2002, PayPal was sold to eBay for US$1.5 billion in stock. just before the sale of Paypal, Elon Musk, who happened to be the company's largest shareholder owned 11.7% of PayPal's shares.
Musk is now pursuing his three main interests: SpaceX (a space transport company), Tesla (maker of the world's first electric sports car) and SolarCity (a company that designs and installs solar energy systems), where according to him there are "important problems that would most affect the future of humanity"
No background in Finance, Automotive Industry or Movies
Musk admits that, beyond a short internship as a cashier at a bank, he had no financial services background before he co-founded Paypal with Peter Thiel. Elon did not have a background in the automotive industry before setting up Tesla, the electric-car company valued at more than $2billion. Similarly, Elon did not know anything about movie business before he produced the brilliant satire Thank You for Smoking and later featured in the move Iron Man II
With technology success stories emerging from Africa, story of Elon Musk and others like him such as Mark Shuttleworth (South African founder of Thawte, later sold to VeriSign), Mo Ibrahim ( Sudanese Billionaire founder of CelTel), or Mike Adenuga (Nigerian founder of Globacom) Entrepreneurs know that it is possible to be the next success story anywhere they are.

Click, and you'll see Was Lincoln gay?
Sullivan's speculation reminds me of the latest questions about Michelle Obama. She's thicker around the middle. Photos suggest she's gained some weight. And apparently the Obamas disappearance one night got the White House's wagging tongues wagging.
Is Michelle Obama pregnant?
Why do we ponder these questions? Does it make a difference? If Lincoln was gay, do we need to re-examine his deeds, his ideas, and our thoughts of him as a great American?
Is Sullivan concerned and enjoying the idea because of his own gayness?
I know from my husband's family, male Southerners share their beds -- they've seen their older brothers and uncles share their beds -- it's quite natural and polite for them to tell a male guest (if the hour is late, or the weather is inclement), "Why don't you stay over -- I've got room in my bed."
Being a Northerner, we don't share our beds -- even with women friends we're reluctant. Of course, this could be my up-bringing. Anyway, I was shocked when I was out-of-town, and my Southern husband told me he'd invited a friend of ours (who's gay), to sleep over, sharing the bed my husband and I sleep in. It happened more than once back in the days when I was touring, (and my husband, John Cullum, is not gay.)
Why did Sullivan bother with this subject? I've sensed before that Sullivan's an angry man, and tends to over-emphasize that he's gay.
What's interesting is the need in all of us, males and females, to know what our heroes and heroines do in the privacy of their bedrooms.
What is it? Aspects of one's childhood still lingering? Even after we know about the birds and bees, we can't help wondering about our parents, teachers, neighbors, famous people?
The consensus of opinions is that Michele Obama is not pregnant. And I don't think that President Abraham Lincoln was gay just because he invited guys to sleep over.

Back in Lincoln's day it was very common to sleep several men in the same bed. The lawyers of Illinois would ride circuit through the state and sleep 4-5 to a bed in local inns.

This is interesting. One of my very oldest and dearest friends of well over 40 years happens to be a lesbian. I am straight. She and I have shared beds off and on over the years, strictly out of necessity...and trust me...nothing sexual ever happened.

Em.-You are probably right about John Cullum. I heard Lincoln was bi-curious but that was from Robert E.Lee. I believe that President Liberace was also gay but heard that from this guy Sullivan as well. As always your ideas are informative and fun. ~ bobby k.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

The Journey Program is a voluntary program of academic and affective support for ninth grade students who have previously failed to perform at their ability level and who wish to improve their performance. The program is designed to help such students realize their full potential by assisting them in identifying and addressing personal issues that have interfered with their performance and by offering activities designed for non-traditional learners. Students may be referred by school staff, parents, or may express their interest directly. Once referred, students and their parents meet with their counselor or Journey staff to discuss the program, identify specific needs, and to sign contracts. Students enrolled in the Journey Program will participate in a one-year support group, which meets for one hour each day. This class teaches students interpersonal skills needed to be successful in school as well as in their personal relationships.

Holy Prostate Exam Batman! That was AMAZING!!
I just want to clarify something. I know a lot of guys that I went to high school with that are straight as an arrow and I suck their cocks a lot. A lot of women do not like sucking cock they think its gross. So when they need their cocks sucked they call me and I gladly suck them. I've also had a few of them fuck me because their wives or girlfriends won't let them fuck them in the ass. I've had some of the most popular jocks in my school want me to suck them off. What made it so enjoyable is that sometimes I would hear girls talking to each other about the jocks and wonder how big their penis is and I would just smile and walk away. I knew but I sure wasn't going to tell them.
A gay man can be a straight guy's best friend. Just because they need their cock sucked and their girls won't so they find a gay guy to do it - I don't consider that being gay.
When it really happens, itis mind blowing. O nly happened twice to me. With guys i would never have thought but both swore me to secrecy. They knew i was married, so i had as much to lose as them.
Also another note I would like to point out. Guys suck better cock than women do. If there are any straight guys on here that have had a woman and a man suck your cock who was better?
All the guys that were straight that I have sucked their cocks for have all said I was way better than their girls.

The last blow job I got was wonderful.
The next one will be better....
In my years of experience, it doesn't matter who
gave you the last one as long as you got it, and
the next one is always going to be the best.
No. 8 in the white briefs on the couch is the one for me. And they are living straight or bi once you love sucking cock or fucking with a man, your not straight anymore, it takes one to know one, Your hiding like me but that's ok, accept it it'll be easier.
Holy Prostate Exam Batman! That was AMAZING!!
Just curious. I went to a all boys HS. Several of us 5-6 used to have circle jerks; rarely would anybody touch another guy. That would be "too gay". But it was hot watching some of the sports studs getting off. Any of you ever have these. I think most of teh guys there were really str8 too.
After checking my 401 last Friday,
They better have wallets full of cash
and orifices full of want.
Mmmmmm this thread is really hot! I have the straight guy fever
Holy Prostate Exam Batman! That was AMAZING!!
^^^yum! nothing better than when a straight guy sticks his hot ass in your face
Mmmm. I love me some straight cock.
I love straight guys. Hairy manly straight guys. yummy!!!!!!!
Being a horny straight guy, I definitely find these pix pretty hot..Having a guy rim my tight ass and then suck me dry would be so hot
damn, fucking in the woods is always hot!

Research into attachment between infants and their mothers indicates that it is protective against poor developmental outcomes. Disorganised patterns of attachment occur in 10% of the general population, but this can rise as high as 80% in high risk populations, including women with a serious mental illness (SMI).
The Healthy Mother-Infant Relationship project has been developed by the Clinical Applications Unit based at Gascoyne House, Graylands Hospital. It is a continuation of last year's Healthy Babies for Mothers with Serious Mental Illness resource [Head2Head issue 1], developed by Professor Yvonne Hauck and launched by Professor Fiona Stanley.
Professor Yvonne Hauck said, "The provision of specific support by mental health clinicians to pregnant women with SMI is an important primary prevention strategy. Our goal is to improve obstetric and neonatal outcomes for these women and their children."
The Healthy Mother-Infant Relationship project has also produced a practical resource for community mental health clinicians, focusing on a dynamic model of risk identification and appropriate referral within existing services.
The resource, entitled Healthy Mother-Infant Relationship: assessment of risk in women with serious mental illness, will be officially launched by the Minister for Mental Health, Hon Dr Graham Jacobs MLA on 12 May.
The project has involved clinicians and researchers from across a range of disciplines, including psychology, psychiatry, mental health nursing, midwifery and paediatrics, as well as community stakeholders and consumers. It also addresses the COAG objective of providing coordinated care to people with SMI and complex needs who are most at risk of falling through the gaps in the system.
Project developer Dr Johana Stefan said, "Our project is mostly a service project, involving mapping of services and developing a framework for case managers of mothers with serious mental illness."
The key elements incorporated in this framework are:
Dr Stefan said, "We have a check list/prompt list for clinicians, to be used for detection of risk of disrupted attachment."
Copies of the resource, will be available at the launch, and will also be available for download at the NMAMHS website.
"I see this project as a first step in raising awareness among mental health clinicians of babies with seriously ill mothers," said Dr Stefan.

Oscar Roadtrip: Behind The Scenes
Following up from my previous post about being behind the scenes at the Prudential Center, we were lucky enough to play host to a very special guest February 4th, 2013. Everyone that traveled with him called him Oscar, but most people know him as the Academy Award, and the Rock was just one of the stops on a brand new venture being called the Oscar Roadtrip.
The award show aired Sunday night, but for 20 long days leading up the big show Ben Gleib and Angie Greenup would drive across the country in an RV with an actual Oscar filming bits for the Oscar Roadtrip. The second day of the trip was the best day in my opinion, but I'm a little biased because that was the day I got to see Oscar in Newark New Jersey. And it happened to be a Devils v. Rangers match up on top of that, because we all know how exciting those games are. Maybe I even stole a picture with him real quick, but I couldn't get any information out of the little guy about who's winning any awards this year so don't bother asking me either!
It all started with the usual call out looking for a General to help cover an event at the PruCenter. Except this one was big and they wouldn't say why, and it was requested that someone with experience in these kinds of events was available. Just coming off the first event and blog about being behind the scenes, I was picked for the job. I walked in through security at the employee entrance not entirely knowing what was going on, and I walk upstairs to meet with PR Manager Kerry again where she introduced me to Ben and Angie, as well as their road crew. Ben has a built-in connection to the Devils by being part of long time fan and NJ-native Kevin Smith's SModcast network, but I did my best to not let it show that I already knew who he was. Angie was a big time hockey fan, hailing from what's commonly called Hockey Town USA, Detroit Michigan, but more on that later.
We moved to the Atlantic, Tomorrow's Office suite to have a little more intimate encounter with the whole crew. And of course, the Devils Alumni were brought in, along with NJ Devil and the Devils' Dancers. Grant Marshall was ever the charmer, hanging out and swapping stories with the Oscar crew while showing off his Stanley Cup ring. But Ken Daneyko looked downright star struck around Oscar! I hadn't known this before, but apparently he's a big-time movie buff. He relived tales of his past acting career (he appeared on General hospital) and stories you'll never hear me repeat about his time with the Stanley Cup. I have to say this, every single person who held the Oscar said two things: 1) Is it real? and 2) Wow, it's heavy. I can say with full knowledge, it's not easy to hold for too long. I have no idea how some of these acceptance speeches last so longing holding that thing up. So while Grant, Ken, NJ, and the Dancers took pictures, Ben and Angie started talking with several of them about different experiences and all kinds of hockey stuff. Turns out Angie might have held a little grudge since Kenny's Devils beat out her Red Wings in '95!
Next up was a trip to the Bud Light Goal Bar, where there was a filmed interview with Ken while he was getting ready to do the game coverage with the MSG network, but that would be an entire blog post itself. Following the interviews, we found a perfectly sized jersey for Oscar to don. It may or may not be a drink insulation device, but it fit our golden companion like a glove. Before we could take pictures and talk about it the crew called the Academy to get it approved. Seriously, they had to call back to Los Angeles on the spot before we could put the jersey on Oscar. It was a tense few minutes, but in the end we were told this would be the first article of clothing Oscar ever wore officially in public! I don't know the truth behind that for sure, but it was quite the experience as a Devils' fan to see Oscar wearing the red and black. Everyone now was relocated out of the MSG crew's way to the Acela Club Restaurant Ledge, and you might have seen Oscar hanging out watching the Devils beat up on the Rangers if you were at the game.
During intermission, Angie Greenup had the ride of her life with Oscar when they were taken out on the Lawns By Yorkshire Zamboni! I told you guys last time that lead ice technician Nick Kryshack was a hard worker, and he was all business while Angie and Oscar where on his machine. Okay, that's not really entirely true, because I don't think I've ever seen Nick do anything but smile out there. There's a Youtube clip from the Oscar Roadtrip channel with the events of the night, so you can check it out for yourself. Everyone was cheering while Angie did laps of the playing surface, showing off Oscar in an almost identical way to players taking the Stanley Cup around the rink. Hopefully one day soon, right Devils fans?! Until then, the Oscar is definitely the coolest trophy I've seen on the Prudential Center ice.

I saw part of it. I wanted to see Kellie Pickler as she was on American Idol the first year I watched it, and I was hoping she'd do well on DWTS. She did! I thought Dorothy Hamill did a lovely dance too. And someone I never heard of really got my attention: Zendaya! A beautiful natural dancer. |

Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)Turkish churches get radical makeover - by being turned in to mosques
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
December 4th, 2013 Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) Turkey has many historical and culturally significant Christian churches. However, the dwindling Greek population in Turkey has forced the closure of many of these churches - and now the government here is considering turning these structures into mosques. LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - There have been discussions that the Hagia Sophia, the most famous Byzantine structure in modern Istanbul, will be turned into into a mosque.Many fear that the nation's Christian heritage will go the way of the Byzantine Stoudios monastery. Residing in the working-class, religiously mixed neighborhood of Samatya, the structure has been sadly neglected, becoming little more than weed-grown ruins. The Stoudios monastery was at one time a pre-eminent Christian site. The Greek community is dismayed to hear that the government plans to restore it as a mosque. Built just a couple of centuries after the Emperor Constantine rebuilt the ancient Greek city of Byzantium as Constantinople, the Stoudios monks were known for their religious poetry and their calligraphy. The monks produced beautifully illuminated manuscripts, some of which survive today. The monastery at one time housed the Church of St. John the Baptist. Pillages by the Crusaders, and then the Turks left the monastery in ruins. Subsequent restorations were undone by two fires and an earthquake. Both the monastery and the Hagia Sophia were turned into museums in the 20th Century. The Cabinet revoked the monastery's status as a museum last year, clearing the way for restoring it as a mosque, which the building had served for a period of time as well. A restoration project is due to begin next year, when it will open to the public as a mosque, according to the government. "The place is devastated - the dome has fallen in, it will need a lot of work," Adnan Ertem, head of Turkey's General Directorate of Foundations says. He adds that the site has historical importance for Turks as a mosque. Then he noted that, "Yes, it has an importance for Christians as well." The announcement has come as a major disappointment to some. "I'm sorry to see the monastery come to public attention for this reason, because it's a very important place, both religiously and culturally," he says. "We were waiting for so long to hear that Stoudios might be restored, and now this," Mihail Vasiliadis says. Vasiliadis manages the Greek-language paper that serves what's left of Turkey's Greek population, which he says is probably fewer than 2,000 people these days. Vasiliadis doesn't think the government, with roots in political Islam, is intent on reviving ill will toward religious minorities, something ethnic Greeks have a long and bitter history have here. "So many cultural artifacts have been abandoned, and when they do restore things, they ignore Byzantine culture and focus on the last 500 years, the period of Muslim control," Vasiliadis says. "The abandoned places reflect the many cultures of Anatolia, but all this government cares about is consolidating the Muslim-led nation-state." A birth foretold: click here to learn more!

His pulse quickened as he gazed down at the sleeping beauty, unable to keep from staring at the soft curves of the body almost fully exposed to his view. Knowing he should back away and head for the com unit across the room, he tried to move but found he couldn't. He could only gaze down into her face, tracing the soft contours of her lips with his eyes. Sky drifted silently in her mind, cocooned in the peace of her inner meditation. From time to time she called to her little sister, sending strong mental impulses outward, but mostly she waited, confident Mayla would reach out to her as soon as she sensed Sky's artificial shielding had been lowered.
