Cease-fire in Syria? Support from Iran and Turkey boosts UN envoy's bid
(Read article summary)Iran and Turkey back opposite sides in the Syria conflict, but the two powers are united in support for UN envoy Lakhdar Brahimi's proposal for a cease-fire later this month.
Ali Jarekji/REUTERS
• A daily summary of global reports on security issues.
A fresh cease-fire proposal for Syria received a much-needed boost today when Iran and Turkey, two regional powers who back opposite sides in the Syrian conflict, declared their support for the plan being shopped around by United Nations special envoy to Syria Lakhdar Brahimi.
Although the actual fighting has been limited to Syria, other countries are providing funds, arms, fighters, and de facto safe havens, making outside support for the cease-fire critical to its success.
Mr. Brahimi has spent the week making his rounds of the region to garner support for the cease-fire, which would be slated for the three-day Muslim holiday Eid al-Adha later this month. His hope, The New York Times reports, is that a holiday "universally respected by Muslims could be the basis not only for a pause in the fighting but perhaps the beginnings of a dialogue in Syria."
The envoy said today that rebel leaders had pledged to observe the cease-fire, but that they insisted the government halt its fighting first, BBC reports.

Full Story: Sexorcism
POSTED: Wednesday, March 2, 2011 - 5:47pm
UPDATED: Tuesday, May 24, 2011 - 6:33pm
EL PASO— El Paso Pastor Tom Brown is never afraid to voice his opinion on gay issues. But one of his most controversial claims is that he can convert gay people back to being straight.
Some people say his teachings are harmful and dangerous. But News Channel 9's Monique Griego spoke with one man who said he's been cured by him.
"As far as homosexuality do you think your cured?" asked Monique Griego.
"Yeah I'm not going that route. No."
But there was a time when "Joe"— as he would like to be called— did go that route. For several years in his 20's, he was gay and openly slept with men.
"It was like drugs, sex, and rock and roll were all tied into this lifestyle," said Joe.
Joe compares the urge he had to be with men to the need a drug addict has for a fix. Then, after nearly a decade of being gay, Joe stopped being gay.
"I was able to put my foot down and say forget it step away from it," said Joe.
How'd he do it? Joe said he found God and Pastor Tom Brown.
"It doesn't make any difference if they feel this attraction, they have a choice to make," said Pastor Tom Brown.
Brown, who runs the word of life church in east El Paso is no stranger to controversy. But one of his most controversial teachings is that he can turn gay people straight.
"The attraction is gone. Those who I talk with, and I can only go by what they've told me, they tell me attraction gone," said Brown.
Brown doesn't believe people are born gay. In his books he claims people are turned gay by traumatic events in their lives, like being molested, not fitting in, or like in Joe's case, men who don't have a father figure.
"He didn't have a father that raised him to be a man, and that gave him feminine characteristics that caused predatory men to come and take advantage of him," said Brown of Joe.
Brown considers gay desires a mental disease, that God and his teachings can help heal.
"As we change our thinking God begins to change our desire and we now have new desires,"said Brown
He showed us letters and emails from people who claim it's worked.
"Thank you for prayerful support. I've come to a point where I no longer have an active attraction to men," read Brown from a letter.
But not everyone is buying what brown is selling...
"Do any of those reasons apply to you?"asked Griego.
"No, none of those reasons. That's why I tell you they're so full of it!"
As a gay man, Pifas Silva finds the idea of a cure for homosexuality hard to believe. He says Brown's teachings are not only wrong, but dangerous.
"I think it does a lot of harm. This is a form of bullying," Silva said. A serious claim research backs up, according to Psychologist Richard Patterson.
"I think in this particular type of therapy, that's a major concern," said Patterson.
Patterson said the American Psychological Association did several studies on gay conversion therapy. They found not only does it not work, but that it's harmful.
Further research showed us that The American Psychiatric Association, the American Psychological Association, the American Medical Association, the American Counseling Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the National Association of Social Workers, are unanimous in that so-called "reparative" therapy is not only ineffective, but potentially harmful to a person's overall well being.
"It's a line of teaching that says I'm bad, or I'm sinful, or I'm sick," said Patterson. "Then that's going to make a negative opinion of myself,"
Patterson also said because religion is involved, people might feel pressured into saying they're cured. All these reasons are why Silva says Brown should leave psychology to the professionals.
"I think he should just back away from trying to cure homosexuals from a disorder that he thinks it is,"said Silva. "And really value people for who they are and stop being so judgmental.If anyone is judging someone it's him, and that's just evil in this world if you ask me."
But criticism only seems to fuel Brown's holy fire. As for Joe, he maintains he no longer has any attraction to men
"Do the thoughts come? Urges come?" asked Griego.
"No, no," Joe responded.
Joe doesn't care about the critics. He said the life he lives now is better than the one he had as a gay man. He hopes his story will help others deal with what he believes are demon desires.
"I do believe if somebody wants to change they can," said Joe.
Pastor Brown acknowledges that some of the people he treats admit they still have sexual thoughts about the same sex, but he considers them cured if they have the strength to no longer act on those urges.
Again, critics say that's nonsense because it's the feeling inside a person that makes them gay.
Comments News Comments
Funny how any addictive behavior is called disease.. except immoral sexual behavior condoned by a society. Any person who believes in God & the Bible as his inspired word needs to read 1 Corinthians 6:9. In this verse God is very clear about sexual immorality. God loves everyone, but will not allow unrepentive children in his kingdom. And, yes we all sin and fall short of the glory of God, but not all of us live in sin and unrepentive as if there is no God. So,take it up w/God not Pastor Brown.
You can NOT turn a gay person straight, seriously as a pastor, i thought you are not to judge. God doesnt jugde. Its not all about the sexual attraction you can fall in love with the same sex or opposite its simply just love, you cant stop someone from loving the same sex. Just let the gay world be happy. There is much more to say but i will leave it as it is, just understand you can not change anyone!
If being gay is a choice then it must be true that being straight is a choice. Makes sense? Of course not. Gay people are just fine just the way God made them. God's way is loving gays. If you're reading this and don't agree I have a new's flash for you; you know nothing of God's or any love.
I grew up with a mother role and father role,brother and sister uncles cousins etc and doesnt mean anything I am a lesbian and it is the feeling that u have inside,its not true that anybody is cured once your a bisexual lesbian gay the urge is there. You can hide the person who you really are,yet theres someone who sees the real you,that is god.Itsreally sad that those people who claim that they have been happy since they been cured well they are living a lie.Im living a happy life with my girl.
I give Pastor Brown less than 3 years before he's involved in a scandal of some sort. Isn't that a given?
Tom Brown is the most disgusting human being I have come across. He is the puppet master in a money making scheme, praying on people looking for guidance. Tom Brown you are NOT GOD, God loves all and leave the judging to GOD. It boils my blood whenever I see and hear your ignorance on television. I am embarrassed to live in the same community as someone as ignorant as you. I hope KTSM passes this comment on to you and your congregation.
People who think US GLBTQ people need to be cured need to stop doing GODS job by judging us. We are who we are. It's like us telling straight people they need help. God can see the future and if he didn't want people to be gay no one would be gay. He wants us to be happy and we are. Just like any other straight person. We're human to. :)
Directly quoting from KJV (which intolerant extremists so often love to use): "He that is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone..." John, 8:7
Just saying, Pastor Brown.
This Pastor is full of it. You can't "change" someone back. And if those people are claiming that they are "cured" they are lying. Which is further fueling this pastor into thinking he has special powers. Totally false. I don't know why that guy was hiding during the interview. Probably because he doesn't want anyone outing him out.
I think... no, I KNOW gay people are harmful and dangerous. They want everyone to live their lifestyle. Sorry, they are NOT born that way, they decided to be that way - and they can change!
What makes you think that gay people want everyone to live their lifestyle. Please don't speak for other people of which you have no direct knowledge. Or are you gay, and you are saying that you want everybody to live YOUR lifestyle?
i agree dsm, and if u have a dsm the car nice. People shouldnt be so judgemental and this pastor is evil for doing this
How are they harmful/dangerous? I don't see them forcing their sexuality on anyone, they just want equal rights like everyone else.
They were born that way - happy, free and gay. You're just filled with hate.
You KNOW that gay people are harmful and dangerous? Really? Maybe you should open your eyes, possibly your heart and mind and see the good that GAY people have done for EVERYBODY's community, family and (gasp) Country! The fact of the matter is that there are ALOT of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender people that have made more of a sacrifice for the good of others than some of the "straight" community. Nobody wants an angry, ignorant, hateful person to live "their" lifestyle.
You are full of you know what. People cant help who they "fall in love" with. Get off your high horse and stop being so ignorant. People like you make me sick. We are all brothers and sister and we need to start acting like it. Pastor Brown this goes for you as well. They do not push their "lifestyle" off on anyone. How can you sit there and say they are harmful and dangerous? What has anyone of them done to you? Maybe you should look into your own inner demons. Figure that out first.
It is real sad that this scam artist is using religion to gain publicity and pull the strings of very naive individuals. How would he like it if someone tried to make him gay? Or is Tom hiding something like some of those anti-gay pastors that have been caught in homosexual scandals? That will make interesting news when his truth is uncovered.
Why does KTSM give a charlatan like brown an opportunity to spew his bigotry and display his ignorance? If his "theory" is applied to heterosexuals, can they in turn become homosexuals??
There is nothing wrong with being gay. It's not a mental disease like the Pastor says. Anyone who believes that, need some extensive therapy and education on Mental Health issues. People are born gay and God makes NO MISTAKES. Pastor Brown is not preaching the word of God or even living like Jesus Christ. He's phony and full of baloney. Beware of false prophets like this man and his church.
bible - According to I CORINTHIANS 6:9-11 no revilers, idolaters, fornicators,homosexuals, or thieves , will enter the kingdom of heaven.
You can kiss on anyone you want but you aint gettin in unless you repent.
God doesn't make mistakes, only people do . Either you believe or you don't. ... that's just bible dude.
Not that long ago psycologists and psychiatrists openly admitted that homosexuality is a disorder. However, these fields are now infiltrated by homosexuals that have lobbied to change the rules of the game. Even if your not an adherent to any kind of morality, or religion, homosexuality is dead, for it engenders death of the human race, and in the mean-time it brings about pain and destruction. You can legalize weird behaviors, but in the end, nothing good comes out of mental disorders.
Being gay can't be fixed any more than using Jesus Christ's name as a catalyst for hatred towards the different, can be.
That ;Joe' wasnt cured of anything but drug and alcohol addiction. Thats why his life is better.
The commandment states "Love thy neighbor." Not
"Love thy neighbor...only if they're heterosexual." We are not here to judge and "cure." It is nothing but blind biggotry the pastor contains inside his self, not love or forgiveness.
I will also heal the pastor from judging others, but then I will also be judged for judging.
So Pastor Brown believes that not having a father figure while you're growing up can lead you into homosexuality. Pastor, I've got news for you. I lost my father at age 12 and was raised by my mother. I must have missed that part about winding up as a homosexual, because that didn't happen to me. Pastor Brown, you seem to forget one of the major tenets of the Bible...Love thy neighbor as you love yourself. Sadly, your version of that includes the words "unless your neighbor is gay."
To the homosexual who proclaims to have found happiness and fulfillment in life, so be it. Am I the judge of what is right or wrong for each individual? We should not however, discourage those of us who don't want to be gay or have gay thoughts from seeking help. I believe transformation is possible and I thoroughly believe it is indeed a GOD thing. I don't believe, however, that overnight transformation is normative. For me, it has been a very long road.
It is not the Pastor, To God be ALL I mean ALL the Honor and Glory. God has the power to change anything we hand over to Him. We just have to want to. God loves us all. But, he hates our sin. He loves us so much he refuses to leave us as He found us!!!
It is not the Pastor, To God be ALL I mean ALL the Honor and Glory. God has the power to change anything we hand over to Him. We just have to want to. God loves us all. But, he hates our sin. He loves us so much he refuses to leave us as He found us!!!
Trying to change the nature of a person is like trying to change a brown eyed person to blue eyes. Sure you can have blue colored contacts, but at night when take them off you are still brown eyed!
He is not trying to change anything. He is just preaching the truth of the word of God for eternal salvation. Sometimes reporters don't understand what there asking or interviewing and they twist what others said. I suggest people buy the book or read the Holy Bible, in order to know the truth and it shall set you free from mind and soul captivity. God loves what He created and the devil came to destroy His creation by trying to hide the truth from people.
I agree. Peroxide only temporarily gives you blonde hair. Eventually your roots grow back! you can pretend not to be gay but to the dismay of many women your roots always give you away!
Read a book, inform yourself. Your ignorance is embarassing in this day and age of information.
1) cure : to relieve (a person or animal) of the symptoms of a disease or condition.
2) mockery : an absurd misrepresentation or imitation of something.
3) pastor : a minister in charge of a Christian church or congregation.
4) nonsense : spoken or written words that have no meaning or make no sense.
❛Twaddle❜ refers to silly, empty utterances from people who know nothing about a subject but who write or talk about it anyway..❛Twaddle❜.
Exactly! He's a pastor for God's sake! Haa If he is "successfully" doing the work that scientists have proven can not be undone, then, THOSE WANNABEes were NOT gay to begin with. Does he even have a college education? History books show how that gays have been around for as long as mankind. The difference is that today they are being OPENLY honest and not hiding with fear of being judged by self-ritious, egocentric, bullies like Tom Brown who is supposed to be spreading God's love not Tom's hate
And further me Pastor clearly states that he does not heal it is Jesus who does all the healing. Pastor I support you 100%
Your usage of religion and Jesus to perpetuate these lies and injustices will be equated with the typical tragedy of U.S. history of religious fanatics who parade around the bible, justifying the oppression of a minority. It was no different with slavery, or with woman suffrage. "barb" makes it sound like you're a woman, if so, do you enjoy that at one point the bible was used to keep you from basic civil rights? Elevate your thinking.
How scary, people turn faith into a habit of non thinking. If I were going to take any religious angle, it would be that there are MANY churches that are now open to homosexuality and recognize the injustice pastors like this man are doing in order to "cure" homosexuality as a "choice." Not all homosexuals are promiscuous, or came from "predators" or "absent fathers." This is at best, a reiteration of Freudian theory which has long been disregarded as even close to accurate.
I agree with you! Barb101, YES, Pastor Brown--we support you 100%. You are victorious in God's hands, you'll see! You keep doing your part, that God will do His.
The only one who needs healing is the pastor himself who is spreading disdain under the guise of God's work. Please recall that the ten commandments call for acts of kindness and acceptance - not for the oppression of any one people. Haven't you "Godly" people learned anything from history? Did you forget Hitler? Did you forget how far women have come for equality? (KEY WORK EQUALITY).Did you forget the plight of slaves who have to this day not recovered from slavery.You are sowing seeds of hate
All he wants is publicity and money. He's like a snake oil salesman - full of baloney.
Heal from what? Does he even care about that or saving souls, everyone sins yes even you!

New Shuttle launch dates announced
NASA has announced a revised launch schedule for the upcoming Space Shuttle missions. The revised schedule follows a review of repairs to the insulation on the Shuttle's external fuel tank, which was damaged during a sudden hail storm over NASA's Florida launch site in February.
Repairs to the external fuel tank are expected to be ready for the launch of Space Shuttle Atlantis on the STS-117 mission no earlier than 8 June 2007. The launch window for STS-117 extends to 18 July 2007.
The STS-118 mission - the second Space Shuttle flight of the year - is due to follow during a launch window that opens on 9 August 2007.
Originally scheduled for August, the STS-120 mission with ESA astronaut Paolo Nespoli, which will also carry the Italian-built Node 2 connecting module into orbit, is now targeted for 20 October 2007.
Flight STS-122, which will see the launch of the Columbus laboratory, one of Europe's major contributions to the International Space Station, is now due for launch from NASA's Kennedy Space Centre on 6 December 2007. The crew of the STS-122 mission includes ESA astronauts Hans Schlegel and Leopold Eyharts.

Everest 2005: Mallory and Irvine The Final Chapter: Q&A Autumn 2005 Part 4
Q&A Autumn 2005 Part 4
Q. EverestNews.com reader: So what about this short cut?
A. EverestNews.com: The theory that they did a "short cut" down the mountain has been promoted over and over by those who has not been above 8000 meters on Everest.
Our men climbed up the various "short cuts". The men who has actually been on the mountain and have climbed up these "short cuts" believe it is "IMPOSSIBLE" to climb down in that area. As far as we know, our various climbers are the only climbers who have been on the steep areas. The video shows near vertical areas in some places, very dangerous climbing.
Q. EverestNews.com reader: Hi, recently in the UK the clothes that Mallory wore were recreated as the original garment makers are all still in business. Result was that M&I were very well clothed to climb Everest.
I take it as read that the fibers you found at the possible Irvine location could be analyzed and compared ? Maybe an obvious question but one needs to be asked.
A. EverestNews.com: While it is possible, that our fibers came from George, it is much more probable that the fibers came from Sandy based on the location found...
We did quite a bit of work on the fibers and rope evidence found. However, what we really needed was fibers from Sandy's clothes to compare. We asked the various sources for pieces of rope to compare, and offered to have a third party compare the pieces. But no one wanted to cooperate.... As far as Sandy's clothes, the Irvine family did not have anything to compare....
While the results perhaps could have sold some newspapers in the UK, does it really matter? No. Meaning the Chinese clearly found both George and Sandy. It is in our opinion it is a known fact that Sandy died below the Second Step, therefore how does any of this add to if they summited?
We have moved on to evidence above the Second Step on Everest...
Q. EverestNews.com reader: OK, you have done a wonderful job in presenting this mystery. Keep up the good work. When will you publish more photo's taken from the 2005 expedition? Will they show the true ridge route?
Q. Similar Question: Will high resolution photos be published?
A. EverestNews.com: We don't own the photos from 2005, so it is up to the climbers on what they want to publish. Climbers in most cases no longer publish high resolution photos on the net in part because unethical people steal them and claim "free use" or "research".
Q. EverestNews.com reader: I have just read your story about Mallory and Irvine. I do research myself. Your case is very well argued and, though I am unable to examine the artifacts found myself, I tend to believe that Mallory made it to the top. Even Reinhold Messner in his book on climbing the Everest alone, following M&I's route, believes that had M made it above the second step, he had made the summit too.
I agree with your position: It is not proven that either one of M or I made it to the summit, but it is also not proven that they didn't. Your theory presents a strong case which rejects the position that they did not make it.
A. EverestNews.com: While Messner clearly states in his book that Tibetan sources told him, artifacts were found above the Second Step, it is our understanding Messner has always held the position they did not summit. Messner, of course did not go up the normal route, but summited via the couloir.
We would love to chat with Messner in detail one day...
Q. EverestNews.com reader: Having just read your fantastic theory from 12 or so months ago about the Everest summit of George Mallory I was wondering if you could answer a query I have. Do you think it possible that Irvines body may never be found having tumbled down the mountain due to avalanche or rock fall or is still in the location where the Chinese reported the 'Old dead' many years ago? I appreciate that even if Irvine's body is eventually found there may not be any evidence of either of them summiting as I believe your account to be really concievable and very probable. I'm on my 4th book about M&I and have been absolutely hooked for about 2 years now fully believing that Mallory reached the top because of summit fever and his amazing spirit. I look forward to maybe hearing from you soon about the above query and any other information you could pass on to me about the subject. Yours hopefully...
A. EverestNews.com: It is very hard to say if people will continue to search for Mallory and Irvine. Funding will be very hard.
Will someone decide to pick up some of these body parts and bring them home, like has been done with M. Wilson? We sure hope not and would support actions against climbers doing so without the families consent. The family have made their wishes well known. What would Sandy body prove?? That he died below the Second Step? While some will continue forever in denial, again we believe that is a known fact.
Q. EverestNews.com reader: Why should be we believe the Chinese found Mallory before Simo?
A. EverestNews.com: Maybe because they reported the finding in various places which were published before Mallory was rediscovered? And reported finding George at 8100 meters. The Chinese refer to these bodies as George Mallory and Sandy Irvine.
Q. EverestNews.com reader: Do you speak with and share information with Simo?
A. EverestNews.com: We speak with Simo regularly and have shared many thoughts and findings with Eric and his wife, Erin. We have made recommendation if he goes at it again. During May, we spoke 2-3 times per day, some days more.
We have another 143 questions in the Q&A box! Many are repeats of the past Q&A, we encourage you to read the old Q&A's.
In a few days we plan, with his Ok, to share another readers thoughts. We have much respect his thoughts and think you might find them interesting.

Audience Reviews for The Legend of Mor'du
Julie Walters, as the witch from Brave, narrates this darker tale of the ancient kingdom. Four brothers fight over ruling the kingdom and one in particular trades his humanity for the strength to defeat the other three. The animation is done in almost a paper cutout style. It further explains some back story elements from Brave, but is not necessary to appreciate that tale.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
A bellows or pair of bellows is a device constructed to furnish a strong blast of air. The simplest type consists of a flexible bag comprising a pair of rigid boards with handles joined by flexible leather sides enclosing an approximately airtight cavity which can be expanded and contracted by operating the handles, and fitted with a valve allowing air to fill the cavity when expanded, and with a tube through which the air is forced out in a stream when the cavity is compressed.[1] It has many applications, in particular blowing on a fire to supply it with air.
The term "bellows" is used by extension for a flexible bag whose volume can be changed by compression or expansion, but not used to deliver air. For example, the light-tight (but not airtight) bag allowing the distance between the lens and film of a folding photographic camera to be varied is called a bellows.
"Bellows" is only used in plural. The Old English name for 'bellows' was blǽstbęl(i)g, blást-bęl(i)g 'blast-bag, blowing-bag'; the prefix was dropped and by the eleventh century the simple bęlg, bylg, bylig ('bag') was used. The word is cognate with "belly".[1] There are similar words in Old Norse, Swedish, and Danish, but the derivation is not certain. 'Bellows' appears not to be cognate with the apparently similar Latin follis.[1]
Several processes, such as metallurgical iron smelting and welding, require so much heat that they could only be developed after the invention, in antiquity, of the bellows. The bellows are used to deliver additional air to the fuel, raising the rate of combustion and therefore the heat output.
Various kinds of bellows are used in metallurgy:
The Han Dynasty Chinese mechanical engineer Du Shi (d. 38) is credited with being the first to apply hydraulic power, through a waterwheel, to operate bellows in metallurgy. His invention was used to operate piston bellows of blast furnaces in order to forge cast iron.[2] The ancient Greeks, ancient Romans, and other civilizations used bellows in bloomery furnaces producing wrought iron. Bellows are also used to send pressurized air in a controlled manner in a fired heater.
In modern industry, reciprocating bellows are usually replaced with motorized blowers.
Double-acting piston bellows are a type of bellows used by blacksmiths and smelters to increase the air flow going into the forge, with the property that air is blown out on both strokes of the handle (in contrast to simpler and more common bellows that blow air when the stroke is in one direction and refill the bellows in the other direction). These bellows blow a more constant, and thus stronger, blast than simple bellows.[3] Such bellows existed in China at least since the 5th century BC, when it was invented, and had reached Europe by the 16th century.[4]
A piston is enclosed in a rectangular box with a handle coming out one side. The piston edges are covered with feathers, fur, or soft paper to ensure that it is airtight and lubricated. As the piston is pulled, air from one side enters and flows through the nozzle and as it is pushed air enters from the opposite side and flows through the same nozzle.[3]
A large bellows creates a mushroom cloud at the Exploratorium in San Francisco, California.

Rangers raid Rovers for loanee Reid
The 28-year-old Republic of Ireland international should go straight into the Rangers squad for Saturday's trip to Doncaster subject to Football League approval. "This is a significant loan signing for the club," Rangers manager Jim Magilton told the club's website "The fact we have been able to attract a player of Steven's calibre to the club speaks volumes of the board and the direction in which the club is heading. "He's a class act, he can pass, tackle, shoot, he's box-to-box - a very, very good player." Magilton swooped for Reid after serious injuries sidelined fellow midfielders Martin Rowlands and Gavin Mahon in recent weeks. Rovers manager Sam Allardyce commented: "We had a chat and it was Steven's decision. He said he fancied it and wanted to get a few games under his belt to improve his fitness. Obviously we'll be seeing how he does."

Dietary Supplement
Just 1 Small Tablet per Day
Works Differently & is More Effective Than Glucosamine & Chondroitin Alone.
Move Free Ultra Joint Supplement contains hyaluronic acid and UC-II (undenatured type II collagen), a breakthrough ingredient that helps you to get comfort for your joints in 1 small, easy-to-swallow tablet. One Move Free Ultra joint supplement is more effective than 2 glucosamine and chondroitin pills.
Promotes Joint HealthMove Free Ultra supports joint health with the use of a protein found in healthy cartilage and hyaluronic acid. One Move Free Ultra pill is more effective than 2 glucosamine and chondroitin pills.^
Works with the Immune System to Support Joint Health^The body's immune system can inadvertently begin reacting to proteins found in joint cartilage, specifically Type II Collagen. Studies have shown that the unique undenatured form of Type II Collagen (UC-II) found in Move Free Ultra can reach immune cells in the gut and help teach the immune system to ignore these joint cartilage proteins. This process is called "oral tolerance" and can result in improved joint comfort. Other types of collagen are not processed in this same way and are therefore not effective in such a small dose.
Just 1 Small TabletThe UC-II in Move Free Ultra is preserved from cartilage in a process that leaves the protein intact. This makes the collagen effective in a small dose. Other collagens work differently and are needed in higher doses. Take 1 tablet a day to support joint health.
Joint Fluid Cushions & Lubricates Joints*Move Free Ultra contains Joint Fluid, or hyaluronic acid (HA), a potent form of one of the main lubricating components found in your joints. As we get older, our HA tends to decrease, which can reduce joint cushioning. Since HA is naturally present in your body, you already have built-in pathways to absorb and use it. The HA in Joint Fluid is similar in molecular size to naturally occurring HA, and a clinical study shows that when taken orally, this form of HA is absorbed directly into the joints†
What Makes the UC-II Found in Move Free Ultra Better Than Other Forms of Collagen on the Market?UC-II is Undernatured Type II Collagen materials. Protecting the native shape and structure of Undernatured Type II Collagen by patented process is key to unlocking the power of oral tolerance for joint health. Small amounts of UC-II can trigger oral tolerance, which via the immune system sends a signal to the joints to maintain healthy structures. The result is improved joint comfort and range of motion. With some other types of collagen, you need higher doses in order to have an effect on joint health.
Take Just 1 small Move Free Ultra Tablet per day compared to 2 Large Glucosamine / Chondroitin Tablets^^

I had taken MoveFree for a long time and it helped with my knee pain, but when the ULTRA came out, I was very excited to try it. To my surprise and pleasure, ULTRA is working, no more pain. Hopefully, it will stay this way. And of course, no need to take more than 1 pill per day, which is great as well.

I used the 30 day supple in this bottle, faithfully every day. I was so disappointed that there was absolutely no positive effect with my knees.The product is expensive so I was looking for and expecting results. Also it has had great reviews. I wish this had worked for my knees but it didn't.I have better (though temporary) results taking generic tylenol.

Comments about Schiff Move Free Ultra Dietary Supplement with UCII, Tablets, 30 ea:
When I first heard of glucosamine & chondroitin, I was skeptical it would work, but my vet prescribed it for my elderly dog and I saw it worked on her. I started taking it myself, 15 years ago, for osteoarthritis in both knees and in my lower back. It worked well for me, but the huge pills would often get stuck in my throat.About a year ago, I switched to Move Free Ultra. It works just as well, is easier to swallow, and the once-a-day dose is easier to follow.
Awesome effective product!

This product totally offset side effects of medication required after breast cancer. From extremely painful joints to easy movement in less than 2 weeks.

This definitely made a difference in my knee pain. I live in an upstairs apartment, and I go up and down stairs all day at work. My right knee had gotten to the point where I had to walk very slowly when climbing stairs. I tried this product after reading the reviews, and I noticed the difference after a couple weeks. My 30 day supply is just about gone, so I am getting another bottle. The only thing different that I have done in the past month is take this pill, so I have to assume it's the reason I feel so much better.
I would buy this product again

Helpful supplement
By mammagrace
from maryland
I've found that no single supplement or medication helps much with my rheumatoid arthritis, but finding the right combination can really be effective. I stopped methotrexate because of frequent infections. This new Move Free Ultra is the only supplement I've added since then that made a noticeable difference. I still take Glucosamine/chodroitin, alpha-lipoic acid, fish oil, and vitamins. I still use NSAIDs as needed, but the Move Free ultra has helped reduce the frequency of NSAID use.

I don't usually write reviews but I can guarantee I'm not an employee of Schiff or paid to write this. I have arthritis in my hands, tendonitis in my knee and wrist, bursitis in my shoulder, and also soreness to one side of my kneecap related to a recent meniscus injury. I know, I'm a mess!I've taken this product religiously 30 straight days and have had no improvement in any of the above. And I've really laid off even any unnecessary walking.. I'm 48 yrs old, healthy otherwise, 5'8" and 150 lbs.I wish everyone the best in trying to conquer their pain.

I have been looking for something that was not the size of a horse pill. I think I found it. I just wish it came in a larger size-30 is too small.
As a dietary supplement, take 1 tablet daily.
Store in a cool, dry place with lid tightly closed.

This would also include knives that you've found after a long time missing.
I have a Buck Gent that I got while I was in high school (around 1988 or so), but more importantly I have a Swiss-army-style knife with brown plastic grips and the Cub Scout symbol on it from when my brother got it when he was in the Webelos! The knife must date back to the late '60s or early '70s and is in great condition. He gave it to me when I myself was a kid in the late '70s. It's tucked away now.

Nashoba girls tennis rolls over Hudson.
Byline: Graham EntwistleNashoba 5 Hudson 0
HUDSON - The Nashoba Regional High School girls tennis team looked to be anything but the lower-seeded team on Friday afternoon at Hudson.
The Chieftains, seeded 10th in the Central Mass. Division 1 Team Tournament, blanked seventh-seeded Hudson 5-0 in a first-round game.
Nashoba got off to a fast start at first singles, where sophomore Kaitlyn Clark downed Hudson's Megan Carney 6-1, 6-0 to put her team up 1-0. Clark mostly hugged the baseline throughout the match, but also made a few successful forays up to the net.
"My serve was pretty good today, and my forehand was good, too," Clark said afterwards. "I didn't have many double faults."
Chieftain senior Valerie Villegas-Hoag finished next, putting her team up 2-0 with a 6-3, 6-3 victory over Hudson's Jacqui Rosignol in the second singles match. Villegas-Hoag was playing up, having spent most of the season at third singles.
Villegas-Hoag's strategy was to move the ball around to make her opponent run.
"I was running her around and finding her weaknesses, and trying to gain points on that," she said. "Relying on her inconsistent shots probably helped me the most."
Villegas-Hoag also spent most of her match at the baseline.
"I had to stay back at the baseline," she said. "She (Rosignol) had really powerful shots. She was really good.
"She had pretty consistent serves," Villegas-Hoag said. "They were really nice, but they were returnable."
Within moments of Villegas-Hoag's win, Nashoba senior Emily Huxtable and her second doubles partner, sophomore Katie Biegler, assured victory for the Chieftains with a 6-3, 7-5 victory over Hudson's Caitlyn McEntarfer and Lindsay Wade.
Afterward, Huxtable said consistency was the key to the win.
"We really worked on getting our first serves in and our returns in," she said. "Also, we played well at the net and we got the important volleys."
Huxtable, in particular, shone at the net, while Biegler, who was making an infrequent appearance in the lineup, was steady during the volleys.
"We had to do some lineup shuffling today, but we figured we could win anyway because we have a lot of depth and a lot of good players," Nashoba coach Dan Spedding said. "People had to move up and they came through.
"Valerie (Villegas-Hoag) typically plays third singles, but she got a huge win at second singles today," he said. "It's nice when you can count on kids to step up and get you the points you need to win the match.
"Second doubles, too - Katie Biegler was playing in her third- or fourth-ever varsity match," Spedding added. "She played great, and they got the win. It was a big win. We needed both those points bad, and we got them both."
Nashoba seniors Olivia Smith and Caroline Fraser added a little icing to the cake with a 6-3, 4-6, 7-5 win over Hudson's Lauren Woringortin and Taryn Anastas at first doubles. Chieftain sophomore Colleen Stevenson, who was also stepping into the lineup, then put a punctuation mark on the victory with a 2-6, 6-2, 10-5 win at third singles.
"They (Hudson) were a formidable opponent, and we're happy to be moving on in the tournament," Spedding concluded.
CUTLINE: (1) Nashoba senior Caroline Fraser makes a return in the first doubles match against Hudson. (2) Nashoba senior Emily Huxtable hits a winner at the net during her second doubles match against Hudson. (3) Chieftain senior Olivia Smith displays some aggressive net play in her first doubles match. (4) Nashoba sophomore Katie Biegler makes a return during the Chieftains' win over Hudson last Friday afternoon. (5) Chieftain sophomore Colleen Stevenson celebrates a point.

Puff The Draco Dragon
The beauty about circumpolar constellations is that they never set below the horizon. From forty-five degrees north latitude, we can enjoy such familiar patterns as Ursae Majoris (Big Dipper), Cassiopeia, Cepheus, Camelopardalis, Draco and of course Ursae Minoris (Little Dipper) which sports the North Star. For the rest of the constellations, that depends how high or low in declination they reside. This month, we will take a look at the Draco the Dragon.
This past weekend the Toronto Centre celebrated the 75th anniversary of the David Dunlap Observatory with a special birthday event at Canada's largest optical observatory. A special anniversary podcast was recorded and posted at 356daysofastronomy.org.

A Smorgasbord Of Galaxies
The sky above offers many types of objects to hunt and enjoy. We scan the night either visually, using star charts and then star hop with telescopes. Keen eyesight is a must for a successful hit. One can always click on a control pad of a computerized telescope what magically moves to the object's programmed coordinates. No mater what mode you choose to seek out these sometimes hard to find objects, your labours will not be in vain. The celestial menu includes diffuse, emission or planetary nebulae, star clusters or even colourful double and multiple star systems. However these objects for the most part, belong to our Milky Way Galaxy and pretty well in the 'stellar neighbourhood'.

The Serpent Rises
If you have had the chance to read a mythological story or two as they relate to the night sky, you would agree some if not all are far fetched. They do make fine entertainment around the camp fire though. Some of these stories take into account two, three or more constellations. One such tale involves the mighty Hercules. Of course we know him as the strongest and most courageous of all. His brute strength not only helped him defeat Leo the Lion as well as Draco the Dragon, but he went on to his toughest challenge - Hydra the Water Serpent.
The Canadian Astronomical Society (CASCA) has announced that the 2011 winner of the Peter G. Martin Award for Mid-career Achievement by a CASCA member is Dr. Roberto Abraham (University of Toronto). Dr. Abraham is a member of the Toronto Centre and currently serves as their Honorary President. The complete story is on the Toronto Centre website.

NH mulls in-state tuition for illegal immigrants
Monday, January 6, 2014
CONCORD, N.H. (AP) � Illegal immigrants attending University System of New Hampshire colleges would get in-state tuition if they met certain requirements under a bill being voted on by the House in January. The students would have to be a New Hampshire high school graduate or have gotten a New Hampshire high school equivalency certificate. They would have had to attend a New Hampshire high school for three years before graduating or receiving an equivalency certificate and met all the other criteria for in-state rates. The students also would be required to apply for legal residency if they have not already done so and file a copy with the university system. Opponents argue it isn't fair for out-of-state students to pay higher tuition than students in the country illegally. |
