The Accounting Society is an organization made up of mostly Accounting majors. Our goal is to get students familiarized with the field and the opportunities available for graduates. We try to meet our goal through hosting luncheon meetings with guest speakers from our respective field, by going on various trips to see area accounting firms, and by inviting campus recruiters to our meetings. We try to help students connect with potential employers and internship opportunities. The Society also participates in numerous philanthropic events, helping students meet their community service requirement. On a lighter note, the Society has an annual holiday party and an end of the year party. We also try to put together a trip to Boston annually to see the city, an accounting firm, and meet fine arts requirements. Overall, the Accounting Society gives students a chance to get to know their peers and contribute to the campus community.
The mission of the American Pharmacists Association Academy of Student Pharmacists is to be the collective voice of student pharmacists, to provide opportunities for professional growth, to improve patient care, and to envision and advance the future of pharmacy. Currently, more than 30,000 student pharmacists from each of the 110 schools and colleges of pharmacy nationwide are members of APhA/ASP. Membership is open to all current pharmacy and pre-pharmacy students. Membership benefits include access to professional development resources, career guidance and networking opportunities, leadership development opportunities, discounted textbooks, liability insurance, care insurance and the APhA Visa Card. The local ASP chapter, in addition to being involved in numerous patient care service learning projects, conducts numerous fundraising activities to help send chapter members to the annual regional and national meetings.
The cheerleaders and dancers serve many purposes on campus. You will find them on the sidelines of the football field and basketball court. The squads consist of members from various backgrounds and experience levels. The teams are also involved in the community, they volunteer with programs such as Make-A-Wish, Boys and Girls Club and the Susan B. Koman. The cheer also competes in the spring.
Anyone interested in law enforcement or other areas of criminal justice or law is welcome to join this organization. The club has arranged visits to outside law enforcement locations/agencies like the Maine Criminal Justice Academy. We also hold a mock oral board to allow those students interested in a career in law enforcement to learn what the interview process for a job entails. Finally, we donate time to community service in the Greater Bangor area.
Campus Crusades for Christ, now known as CRU, is a campus organization that seeks newcomers looking to share with others and to serve God together. We believe in and are committed to community engagement through community service to local nursing homes, homeless shelters, and other community groups. Our goals are to reach out to non-Christians on campus and to support Christians on campus through strengthening our relationships with Christ and each other.
Delta Sigma Delta is a community service based sorority providing social interaction between NESCom and Husson students. Above all, we are a sisterhood, a group of girls both past and present who are there for each other long after our years here at college are finished. In the past we have received the highest GPA and the most community service awards for the Greek organizations on campus. Along with our community service we also host fun events such our Blue Hawaiian, parents weekend, Alumni Banquet and more. Let us show you what sisterhood is all about!
The Education Students Association (ESA) is a club for all education majors at Husson University, including Secondary English, Secondary Life Science, Secondary Physical Science, and Elementary and Physical Education! Being a member is a great way to get to know the other students in your chosen major, develop friendships, and get involved with events and services on the campus and in the community. We plan community service activities, go to plays and other fine arts activities, hold fundraisers, participate in Open House and other activities on campus. As all of our members are going into the field of education, it's a great place to get ideas for your clinical and practicum experiences, and we work together toward meeting club and community service requirements.
The mission of the Husson University English Society is to foster a sense of camaraderie among Science and Humanities students and faculty, to serve the Husson and greater Bangor communities, and to make writing and literature accessible to all. We love going to coffee shops and local shows as much as we love working with various charities and programs within the community. The Society currently has students from a variety of majors, including nursing, psychology, English, pre-law, and business. NesCom and Husson students from ALL majors are welcome to join us for a hot beverage and a chat about anything and everything related to the college experience.
Epsilon Tau Epsilon is a sorority on the Husson campus that welcomes both Husson and NESCom students. Our main focus is community service both on and off campus. Off campus community services that we have worked with include: The Ronald McDonald House and the Pediatric Unit at Eastern Maine Medical Center. Founded in 1933 by our brothers, Mu Sigma Chi, Epsilon Tau Epsilon is the oldest sorority on campus. ETE helps women build life long friendships and sisterly bonds.
The Greek Governing Board (GGB) oversees all fraternities and sororities on campus. They hold weekly meetings and pride themselves in upholding the Greek principles and traditions at Husson that our Greek clubs were founded upon. Husson's Greek organizations are some of the oldest organizations on campus and serve as a network to alumni. The GGB hosts and participates in events such as Rush night, various community service opportunities on and off campus, Homecoming, and also organizes the traditions of Greek Week and Greek Games yearly.
Habitat for Humanity is a non-governmental, non-profit organization devoted to building "simple, decent, and affordable" housing. Homes are built using volunteer labor and are sold at no profit for families in need. Habitat has a collegiate challenge where they ask college students to participate in an alternative spring break and volunteer their time to help build these affordable homes. The Habitat for Humanity group at Husson participates in the collegiate challenge. In 2009 the group traveled to Davidson, NC with seven students and an advisor. Since then, the group has steadily grown and traveled to such locations as, St. Joseph, MO and Coatesville, PA. Plans are currently underway for the spring 2012 trip to Buffalo, NY with a side trip to New York City.
Our association acts in the best spirit of hospitality. All students are welcome so long as they are willing to provide great service to the community through various philanthropic and charitable events. We participate in both on- and off-campus activities while developing our networking skills. We also enjoy organizing and attending fine arts outings both for credit and for fun.

The 2004 Ford F-150 Heritage is a twin of the tested vehicle.
The Ford F-150 was redesigned for the 1997 model year. The Heritage nameplate was added in the 2004 model year to distinguish it from the redesigned 2004 Ford F-150.
Measures taken from the chest indicate low risk of injuries to this body region in a crash of this severity. Forces on the head and neck indicate that injuries to the neck would be likely and injuries to the head would be possible. Forces on both tibias indicate that injuries to the lower legs would be possible.
Dummy movement wasn't well controlled. The airbag deployed too late, and there was too much rearward and far too much upward steering wheel movement, which contributed to the dummy's head bottoming out the airbag and hitting the steering wheel. The driver seat was tilted so far forward that the dummy's head was confined to a narrow space between the steering wheel and head restraint during much of the crash.

Men's Volleyball Represents Well in 3-0 Loss at #12 Ball State

MUNCIE, I.N. For the first time in program history, the Pfeiffer University mens volleyball team got their first taste of big time division one action at Ball State on Friday night.

Ball State, ranked #12 in the nation, improve to 4-3 with the win while the Falcons fall to 3-2.
Nerves hung around for the first couple of sets until the Falcons settled down in the final stanza. Pfeiffer hit .333 in the third set falling to the Cardinals by just three. The Ball State roster, which is full of players six-foot five and taller, hit .443 in the win with nine total team blocks.
Pfeiffers Drew Burdette led the way with eight kills on the night hitting .312. Michael McLaughlin followed with a half dozen kills. Evan Fullerton dished out 21 assists and led the way with six digs. The Cardinals Greg Herceg and Jamion Hartley each had six kills in the win.

By Echelle, Pure Matters
For the very inexpensive investment of $15-$30, owning and regularly using a Stability Ball can enhance your physical fitness and general health in an amazing way. This great piece of exercise equipment is flexible and doesn't take up much space. And when using the stability ball, exercises that were familiar, become alien and challenging. Your muscles are doing more work in engaging and keeping you 'stable.' Some examples below show how the stability ball is a powerful tool in your fitness routine.
Strength & Resistance
Increasing your strength is very important in the well-rounded picture of physical fitness. Incorporating the stability ball into your exercise routine to vary the difficulty of an exercise and increase your exertion is very easy to do. Resistance training adds density to those important bones. A great way to use the stability ball is during push ups:
-Begin by gently getting on your knees in front of the ball, then drape your body over the ball
-Roll yourself forward, then "walk" yourself forward using your hands until you are in a push up position with your legs on the ball.
-Your body should be straight.
-Use your core muscles to stabilize you and maintain a steady position on the ball.
-Dip and push up as you would during a regular push up. Do 10 reps if possible.
-Once reps are completed, "walk" yourself on your hands backwards until you are back safely in your start position, draped over the ball.
There's a yoga quote, "You're as young as your spine is supple." And when you think about it, your back is involved in just about everything that you do. If something goes wrong with your back, you're pretty much completely out of commission until it has healed. Here's one flexibility exercise that is quite basic and relaxing: get gently on your knees and drape yourself forward over the ball. You can "hug" the ball for added stretch. You can hang out there in a meditative stretch for some time. There are many more flexibility exercises that include the stability ball, but I believe this one in particular is an important one to have in your arsenal.
Balance is somewhat of an investment in your fitness future. As we age, our balance declines. Working on this aspect of fitness now is very important in maintaining a well-rounded fitness program for our golden years. With good balance in play, as we're older-we're less likely to fall, which is something that dramatically threatens the wellbeing of our older population. It's well worth it to stay balanced in life. And I do mean that metaphorically and literally! A great balance exercise with the stability ball:
-Stand with stability ball on the floor about arm's length away from your body
-Bend forward so that both hands are on the ball and your legs are straight
-Extend your left leg straight back
-Now turn your body so that you are in a modified 'triangle pose'-your right hand is supporting you on the ball
-Hold for 5 breaths and repeat on the other side
Let us know if and how you incorporate the stability ball into your fitness routines. We'd love to hear from you!

By Steve Graham, Networx
I get through the sleepless days of being a stay-at-home dad, freelance writer and DIY remodeler with copious quantities of tea. I drink Celestial Seasonings Morning Thunder tea in a big beer stein, which I believe to be quite manly.
I also hate to throw out anything I could reuse or recycle. So I scoured the Internet to find 50 uses for used tea bags and tea, other the primary functions of keeping me hydrated and awake. With thanks to "Reader's Digest" and "Mental Floss" magazines, the Boulder Dushanbe Tea House, Chinaculture.org and several bloggers and Web forums, here is the definitive list of other uses for tea. We can't vouch for all these home remedies, as we aren't able to test all 50 of these items, so let us know how they work. Also tell us if we missed anything.
1. Clean carpets:Clean up musty, dirty carpets by sprinkling dry, used green tea leaves on the carpet. Let them work their magic for about 10 minutes, then vacuum them up.
2. Clean antique rugs: Delicate Persian and Oriental rugs can also benefit from a sprinkling of tea leaves. In this case, sprinkle nearly dry, used whole tea leaves on the rugs, and gently sweep them away.
3. Shine wood floors: The tannins in black tea can help shine and color hardwood flooring. Follow your regular floor cleaning routine by carefully rubbing some brewed tea into the floor (don't use too much water on hardwood flooring) and letting it air dry.
4. Polish furniture: Brewed tea also can help clean and shine wood furniture. Dip a soft cloth in a small amount of tea, and use it to wipe down the tables, chairs and more.
5. Clean mirrors and windows: Tea can remove stubborn, greasy fingerprints from glass, and make it sparkle. Simply rub a damp teabag on the glass or fill a spray bottle with brewed tea.
6. Clean toilet stains: Rumor has it that used tea bags can magically remove stubborn stains in the bottom of the toilet bowl. Just leave them in the toilet for several hours, then flush the toilet and brush the bowl.
7. Get rid of fishy smells: Rinse your hands with tea after eating or preparing fish (or other stinky foods) to eliminate odors.
8. De-stink fridges: Instead of baking soda (or maybe in addition), try used tea bags in the fridge to absorb odors.
9. De-stink cat litter: Likewise, used tea leaves can help deodorize litter boxes when mixed into the litter. Dry, green tealeaves are recommended.
10. Prevent fleas: Tea is also rumored to help prevent fleas, so sprinkle some dry used tealeaves around pet bedding.
11. Kill dust mites: Carefully spray diluted black tea on the carpet to kill dust mites. Color-test the tea first in an inconspicuous spot.
12. Clean the fireplace: Sprinkling wet tealeaves on fireplace ashes while scooping them out may help reduce blowing dust.
13. Make potpourri: The herbs and flowers in used herbal tea bags may have run out of flavor, but they often still have a good scent. Dry out herbal tea bags and add to potpourri or scented sachets.
14.Make a car air freshener: Likewise, you can freshen up the car without a chemical-laden commercial air freshener. Put lavender tea or other soothing herbal tea in a bag under the seat to fight odors.
15. Soothe a sunburn: Wet teabags can soothe sunburns and other minor burns. For a full-body sunburn, soak in a tea bath.
16. Soothe tired eyes: Warm, wet teabags can reduce puffiness and soothe pain around tired eyes — and teabags on your eyes look a little less ridiculous than cucumber slices.
17. Soothe pinkeye: You can also use warm, wet teabags as a compress to soothe the pain of pinkeye.
18. Soothe razor burn: A wet tea bag can also reduce and soothe razor burn.

'' What sort of spirits could be diagnosed from this, and how? I ask because of my personal issues with schizophrenia.''
I don't know what type of issues. May be you are interested in schizophrenia from an academic point if view. That is why this discussion is problematic. If you see devas then o.k I'm not debating that. But that you don't do as much Samantha as the forest monks do then there is a question in my mind as to whether the cause of your visions are related to meditation. It makes me feel bad to say this. I'm sorry.

That is actually what I've been planning to do. There are no gurus of course, but there is always Buddha. The idea of closing or opening the eyes, I have always found to be confusing. They just seem to be a part of our mind normally, and yet we aren't normally aware of them. So, having an open eye is really just being aware in that sense. Those who have achieved it through meditation and effort, they can close and open it at will. It's different when your awareness is partly just a remainder awareness. What's the word...?

These Indo-Aryans later influenced the mythology of the newly forming religion of Buddhism.
Ahuras (Asuras) were normally the more virtuous ones who abstained from eating meat and taking intoxicants, where as Devas were passionate gods who indulged in all sensual pleasures. Ahuras never demanded animal to be sacrificed to them, where as Devas demanded sacrifice of animals.
English word "Devil" also is etymologically related with the same word "Dev" from which Indian "Devas" came up. So Devas were in fact the more evil ones.

The BUAV is currently engaged in a number of campaigns as we seek to influence politicians and make positive change for animals in laboratories.
The latest statistics for the number of animals used in experiments showed another increase, with more than four million animals used in 2012. Jim Dowd MP has tabled Early Day Motion 442 which expresses concern for the continued increase and calls on the Government to publish its long-awaited reduction strategy. Please join our campaign by writing to your MP and asking them to sign EDM 442 today.
Following the BUAV's recent investigation at Imperial College London, which revealed the appalling plight of animals in laboratories, we have worked with MPs to table EDM 110 to highlight the need for an independent enquiry into our findings. Please join our campaign by writing to your MP and asking them to sign EDM 110 today.
The BUAV has recently launched Our Best Friends, the campaign to end the use of cats and dogs in research. We have already received the support of MPs from all parties, and Early Day Motion 514 has been tabled in support of the campaign. Please help us end the use of cats and dogs in experiments by asking your MP to sign EDM 514 today.
Help the BUAV create lasting change in the policy and legislation in the UK – use our lobby tool to engage with your MP on the key animal testing issues.
One of the BUAV missions is to create change in policy, legislation and practice by influencing decision-makers. We meet with high profile politicians, asking them to support and include our policies in their party's plans. Even small changes in government policy can have a massive impact on the lives of millions of animals. We have had lots of success at bringing about change; from winning the ban on the testing of cosmetics products on animals in 1997 to securing a ban on the use of stray animals in experiments in 2012 Our supporters have helped us to make a real difference. Find out more about our policy work.
Using the law is also a central part of the BUAV's campaigning. Ethical and scientific arguments may lie at the heart of the debate but ultimately, animal experiments are sanctioned by legislation in the UK and internationally. Find out more about our legal work.
With our supporters behind us we can achieve real change for animals in laboratories. Please Lobby Your MP to help us create a cruelty-free world.
Lobby Your MEP
We also need your help to give a voice to animals in laboratories across Europe. To lobby your MEP visit the BUAV-led European Coalition to End All Experiments website

A Timeline of American Employee Rights
The Right to StrikeThe First National Labor Organization in AmericaProtecting Workers Who Get Injured on the Job United Auto Workers is FoundedChild Labor Laws and Minimum WageFair Pay for WorkersCivil Rights Sweeps EmploymentProtecting Employees' SafetyWork-Life BalanceSexual-Orientation Non-DescriminationNext on the Docket
In 1794, shoemakers in Philadelphia organized a union, which they named the Federal Society of Journeymen Cordwainers. Ten years later, the union went on strike, arguing for higher wages. In response, their employers brought them to court—and won. The case, Commonwealth v. Pullis made striking a federal crime, akin to conspiracy. Thirty-five years later Commonwealth v. Hunt reversed the decision and granted unions the legal right to strike.
Though it lived for just seven years starting in 1866, the National Labor Movement paved the way for future labor parties. Led by William H. Sylvis, who headed the Iron-Molders' International Union, the movement tried to organize local trade unions under a national umbrella. They were also among the first advocates of the eight-hour workday. But the political organization fell apart when it couldn't perform at the polls, and many of its members left for the Knights of Labor.
Working on the railroad was a dangerous business for many workers. In a speech to Congress, then-president Benjamin Harrison said about railwork: "It is a reproach to our civilization that any class of American workmen, should in the pursuit of a necessary and useful vocation be subjected to a peril of life and limb as great as that of a soldier in time of war." The Federal Employers Liability Act—which would become the foundations for states' Worker's Compensation laws—was enacted in 1908 "to put on the railroad industry some of the costs of the legs, arms, eyes, and lives which it consumed in its operation."
Since the UAW was founded in 1930, it has become one of the most important labor unions in the country's history. Its leadership has successfully lobbied for health insurance plans for industrial workers, the first cost-of-living allowances, as well as training, and educational programs. The UAW has also faced wide-scale criticism, especially from anti-union advocates that protested the bailout of major motor companies of 2008 to 2010.
The surge of textile mills during the industrial revolution in the late 1700s placed new demands on a limited resource: cheap labor. A number of organizations existed in the early 20th century to curb the use of child workers, but there was no federal law put into place until 1938. The Fair Labor Standards Act set a minimum wage, required employers to pay overtime, and made it illegal to employ children under the age of 14.
The wage gap between men and women in the early 1960s painted a bleak portrait of pay equality in the United States: Women with full-time jobs got paid about 60 cents for every dollar earned by their male counterparts. In 1963, the Equal Pay Act required pay parity between all genders and races. Yet in 2010, white women earned about 80 cents for every dollar made by a man, according to the General Accounting Office.
The Civil Rights movement of the 1960s resulted in several new laws about how people of all races must be treated—especially in the workplace. In 1964, Congress passed the landmark bill, Title VII, which "prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, and national origin." In 1967, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act was passed to prohibit discrimination of workers age 40 or older.
The Occupational Safety and Health Act was signed into law by President Richard Nixon in 1970. But it was during WWII that industrial accidents put a renewed focus on worker safety. According to the Duke law journal Law and Contemporary Problems in the "two years preceding OSHA's enactment, 14,000 workers died each year from workplace hazards, and another 2 million were disabled or harmed."
"Family and medical leave is a matter of pure common sense and a matter of common decency," said former President Bill Clinton upon signing the Family and Medical Leave Act in 1993. "It will provide Americans what they need most: peace of mind. Never again will parents have to fear losing their jobs because of their families."
While most companies have instituted non-discrimination policies, it still remains technically legal in 29 states to discriminate based on sexual orientation, and in 35 states to do so based on gender identity or expression. The Employment Non-Discrimination Act seeks to make it federally illegal to discriminate, but has stalled within Congress for the last 17 years, despite current support President Obama.
Senator Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) is intent on reforming labor laws. In August 2011 he introduced to Congress the Employee Rights Act, which he hopes will help shield individual workers from powerful union leaders. But Hatch expects opposition. "I fully expect the unions and their supporters to come out against the Employee Rights Act, and characterize it as a radical, anti-union bill," he told the National Legal and Policy Center in September 2011.

Beautiful magnet
The Save the Date Magnets arrived quickly and were exactly what I wanted. Everyone loves them. I purchased the magnets over a paper save the date because I didn't want them to get lost with every ones paper work and tossed to the side; this way they are in every ones face every time they open their fridge.
Perfect ceremony program
These ceremony program fans were perfect for my wedding. The design was perfect, as our flowers were gerber daisies, and I was able to customize the colors of the program to match our wedding color theme. I ended up changing all the colors, even the background and font colors, and the programs turned out beautiful. I liked that I was able to customize the text on the front and back to make it our personal program. We just did plain paper and printing, but they looked amazing and the quality of them was great. I had contemplated putting program fans together myself, but when I saw these I knew I wanted them, and they were perfect. All of our guests loved them! I liked that I was able to receive a sample of the program before purchasing over 200 of them, because I could see the quality of the paper and printing. And then the cost of the sample was just credited to my full order which was awesome. I would definitely recommend these to anyone who is having a summer wedding and wants something different and creative for their ceremony program. The fans are perfect for a summer wedding that is being held outside. The programs are beautiful and will keep your guests cool!
I loved how these turned out. The colors turned out perfectly!
I really love our invitations, and have gotten tons of compliments on them. My only frustration was that each change we made went to the "saved work" folder, so I wasn't always sure I was working the most current draft.
Beautiful!!! Great product!!
This is going to look amazing with my wedding favors. Love that was able to pick out the color and what is was going to say. Can't wait to add these to the favors for guest.
The best EVER
I love Magnetstreet... The customer service reps are awesome! They are very helpful! And the options are amazing... You can choose what kind of design you want and the colors are a great choice. You won't be disappoinnted! Happy Shopping!

Nathan Sharpe has agreed to stay on with the Wallabies due to the lack of experienced players in the current Test set-up.
The 34-year-old had initially planned to quit rugby in July, but was convinced by coach Robbie Deans to play for Australia in the Rugby Championship.
Given the current injury situation, Deans has once again asked Sharpe to postpone his plans to retire and lead the Wallabies on their four-Test tour of Europe this November.
The Wallabies are short on experienced locks, with regular skipper James Horwill and veteran Dan Vickerman having succumbed to injury earlier in the year. They have also lost several leaders like Will Genia and David Pocock, and Sharpe is one of the few left standing.
'You only have to look at what he has achieved with the group since he took over as captain,' Deans said.'His influence has been immense, he is arguably playing the best rugby of his career but, most importantly, he is enjoying the experience.
'Sharpey's presence and leadership has been a constant throughout the year – one of the few aspects of continuity that we've had through a season that is probably without precedent in terms of disruption.'
Sharpe played his 111th Test last week to become Australia's most capped forward in history. He will extend that record when he leads the Wallabies this November.

(AP) — A former scoutmaster in North Carolina admits he molested as many as 10 boys in the early 1970s.
The file on Thomas J. Menghi Jr. is just one among thousands of pages on suspected abusers kept by the Boy Scouts of America and released under a recent court order.
He tells The Associated Press he was usually drunk when he had sex with boys in Troop 786 in Fayetteville.
He's now 69 years old and lives in Monroe, near Charlotte. He says he would like to apologize to his victims and fears going to jail.
Memos in Menghi's file from 1974 show other scout leaders contemplated whether to report the abuse to the police, but were directed not to by a national official.
Other cases:
For decades, the Boy Scouts of America kept thousands of secret "perversion files" about adult members of its organization who sexually abused children. About 14,500 pages of files compiled between 1959 and 1985 were made public last week by court order. Thousands more files for abuse cases after 1985 remain secret.
Twenty-one of the files made public involve cases in North Carolina, where there is no statute of limitations on prosecuting child sexual abuse. The Associated Press reviewed each file, but focused on cases where the perpetrator admitted guilt or was later convicted of sex crimes, often years later after more children had been abused:
— Edwin Loren Tenny was employed as a district scout executive with the Occoneechee Council in Raleigh in 1969, when other officials received reports that he had engaged in sex acts with numerous boys. A memo in Tenny's secret file signed by Scout Executive Wallace E. Wood said he and another official confronted Tenny and that he admitted having sex with the boys. Tenny was fired and barred from participating in scouting, but there is no indication he was reported to police.
Tenny, now 74 and living in Missouri, did not respond to phone messages seeking comment.
— Thomas Benton Lewis was a leader of Cub Scout Pack 103 and Scout Troop 103 in Burlington in 1982 when the mother of a scout reported that her son had been molested by Lewis while spending the night at his apartment. In a letter included in Lewis' secret file, the mother wrote that she and her husband confronted Lewis and that he confessed he was "sick" and apologized. The boy and his parents also spoke about the abuse with their minister and a district court judge who was a member of their church, but there is no indication a police report was filed.
Lewis relocated to Whiteville, where he died in 1997 at age 60.
— William "Bill" H. Fisher was the scoutmaster of Troop 749 in Reidsville in 1981 when the father of a scout contacted officials to report that Fisher had sexually assaulted his son. In a letter, the father wrote that Fisher had become a close friend of the family and had lived in a trailer behind their home. When the boy's parents confronted Fisher about the abuse, the father wrote that the scoutmaster confessed and promised to seek treatment from a psychiatrist. A separate letter from the family's minister also says Fisher confessed during a private meeting at the First Congregational Christian Church.
Fisher, who also taught chemistry at a local high school, resigned and was barred from scouting. There is no indication the abuse was reported to police or officials at the school where Fisher worked. He died in 1997 at age 58.
— Mark Fleming Bumgarner was an assistant scoutmaster with Troop 262 in Lenoir in 1978 when the parent of a scout from Southern Pines reported that Bumgarner had fondled the boy while sitting beside a campfire at a summer camp. According to a memo in his confidential file, Bumgarner admitted he had given the boy a massage on the archery range because he appeared tense, but denied touching his genitals. In response, scout officials put Bumgarner on "probation."
The following year, Bumgarner was charged by Lenior police with two felony counts of taking indecent liberties with a minor involving two other scouts. It is not clear who reported the abuse to authorities, but the following day Bumgarner was suspended from scouting. Court records show he received a suspended sentence and was placed in probation.
In 1988, scout officials were informed by a prosecutor in Virginia that Bumgarner had pleaded guilty to two counts of aggravated sexual battery involving children and sentenced to 20 years in prison, but a judge suspended all but three years of the sentence.
After his release, records show Bumgarner returned to North Carolina in 1992, where he was convicted in Alamance County to indecent liberties with a child. He was released from prison after serving 2 years of a 5 year sentence.
Now 53, Bumgarner is a registered sex offender living in Fort Belvoir, Va.
— Rickey Martin Vernon was a scout leader with Troop 241 in Lexington in 1982 when he was accused of molesting multiple scouts at a Winston-Salem movie theater where he worked and other locations. According to his file, one incident involved two boys who said Vernon inducted them into a fictitious "Order of the Sword" where part of the initiation included showering and washing with him.
Vernon was barred from scouting, but there is no evidence he was reported to police.
Seven years later, criminal records show Vernon was convicted in Forsyth County on two counts of taking indecent liberties with minors. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison, but released on parole after serving 4 years. Now 59, Martin is listed as a registered sex offender in North Carolina.
—Roy Lindsay Case was a scoutmaster with Troop 103 in Summerfield in 1972. A scout signed a typed statement saying Case had invited him to a drive-in movie and later returned to the scoutmaster's home, where he was shown pornography. Later that night, the boy said Case climbed into the bed where he was sleeping and made sexual advances. The scout said other boys in the troop had similar experiences when alone with Case.
Case's named was added to the confidential list at Boy Scout headquarters, but there is no indication the police were called.
In 2001, Guilford County sheriff's deputies investigating a break-in at Case's home found child pornography, according to a report from News & Record of Greensboro. Under questioning, Case later confessed to numerous sexual assaults spanning more than 30 years.
State criminal records show he pleaded guilty to four counts of statutory sex offense, two counts of third-degree sexual exploitation and four counts of indecent liberties with a child. Now 66, he is in a North Carolina prison serving a nearly 20-year sentence.
— Michael Steven Clapp was scoutmaster of Troop 77 in High Point in 1984 when the mother of a scout reported that he had molested her son during a trip to Washington, D.C. When confronted by other scout leaders, Clapp admitted he had behaved inappropriately and submitted a resignation letter, citing the increasing demands of his position with the North Carolina Shakespeare Festival. There is no indication he was reported to police at that time.
Eight years later, 1992, criminal records show Clapp was convicted of indecent liberties with a child and felony sexual offense in the second degree. He served six years in prison. Now 62, Clapp is listed on the N.C. Sex Offender Registry as living in Kernersville.

Dog Intracranial Neoplasia
Dog Intracranial Neoplasia
There seems to be an indication that dogs are affected by intracranial neoplasia more than any other species of animals. These tumors are categorized in two different terms: primary and secondary.
The primary tumors start in the spinal cord, brain and other areas of the central nervous systems. Although there is usually only on single tumor, there have been instances of multiple tumors as well.
Secondary tumors are tumors that have metastasized to the brain. The most common type of these secondary tumors originates in the dog's nose, breasts or prostate gland as well as the lungs.
Signs and Symptoms
Changes in your dog may occur gradually over a long period of time, sometimes years. Initially they will have headaches that they can't tell you about, avoid noises and appear to have Dog Lethargy.
Dogs will have seizures more than cats. This is especially true if the Dog Seizures occur after the age of 4 in dogs. The seizure can be either generalized, grand mal, or focal. In dogs you may also notice an altered posture, changes in gait, circling, Dog Depression, inability to control elimination and behavior changes.
If the tumor is in the area of the brain stem, you may notice profound weakness, vision or hearing loss or smell. It there is weakness and lethargy, the tumor is usually located in the sensory motor region or the frontoparietal area. With visual changes, involvement of the optic nerve may be evident. Each sensory loss indicates a tumor in a different area of the dog's brain.
Laboratory tests such as chemistry panels, urinalysis and hemogram are initially performed. X-rays are only useful if the tumors are in the nasal cavity or the skull and extend into the brain.
Some analysis of cerebrospinal fluid will be done, due to the fact that there is increased pressure within the spinal column. If drainage is not performed with an experienced hand, the change in pressure can cause the brain to become herniated. This is the last test that will be performed due to its obvious danger.
CT scans can tell you the size and exact location of the tumor in your dog. An MRI is also used in treatment as they are more advanced in their diagnostic abilities compared to CT scans.
Biopsies can also be done and is very important. The biopsy is done while the CT is being performed which practically eliminates former complications of the procedure.
Treatment Options
Treatment is used to control other effects of the tumor. These include cerebral edema and intracranial pressure. This can be done by reducing the size of the tumor or eliminating it. This can be accomplished by radiation, chemotherapy, surgery or immunotherapy.
Surgery is often used in the treatment of intracranial neoplasia. Surgery will depend on the area of the brain that is involved, the size of the tumor and the rate of growth. In the event that surgery, gene therapy, and immunotherapy are unsuccessful in the treatment, palliative forms of therapy will be carried out. This can include medication and is temporary.
The poor supply of data does not lead to a definitive diagnosis. Some relief is noted with surgery, but not always. Often combination therapies are used to achieve better results.
