Damaged Hair:
Hair is composed primarily of proteins. It is made of three layers ---the medulla, cortex, and cuticle. Damaged hair is caused by many factors such as excessive heat styling. It is characterized internally by open cuticles and broken protein bonds. Physically, damaged hair is rough, brittle to the touch, and prone to split ends.
Causes of Damaged Hair:
Heat Styling
Heat Styling is a leading cause in damaged hair. Heat cracks hair's cuticle and withdraws moisture-- leaving hair dry and brittle. Below is a list of heat styling tools which damage hair and some tips to prevent heat damage.
Heat Styling tools which damage hair:
- Hair dryers
- Hot rollers
- Curling irons
- Flat irons
New innovations in heat styling, such as ionic technology work with heat to restore damaged hair. Ionic technology has been incorporated in heat styling products such as blow dryers and flat irons. Popular products such as the T3 Tourmaline hair dryer and Sedu flat iron are famous because of ionic technology.
There has yet to be an ionic product that also moisturizes damaged hair. H2 Ion is the first ionic hair repair to incorporate Moisture Infusion Microbeads. Learn how H2 Ion works.
Harmful chemicals
Many chemicals such as bleaches, perms, and relaxers damage hair greatly. In order for them to work they must swell hair's cuticle. This process roughens cuticle, making it prone to chipping and breaking off. These chemicals also wear down protein bonds in hair--the very thing that keeps our hair strong and lustrous.
The end result is weakened damaged hair. Below are common chemicals which damage hair:
Common chemicals which damage hair:
- Bleach
- Hair dyes
- Perms
- Relaxers
- Straighteners
Harsh weather conditions
Environmental conditions affect hair year round. Harsh weather conditions otherwise known as "bad hair days" cause hair to become dry, brittle, and prone to breakage. During the summer, the sun's UV rays break protein in hair.
Hair's composition is 88% protein. Protein protects hair and when it breaks down- hair becomes dry and damaged. The sun is especially rough on chemically processed hair, often being responsible for color gone brassy.
Believe it or not, the winter is most drying to hair. This is because there is less moisture in the air. The cold winds tangle hair and roughen hair's cuticle. Protecting your hair year round is essential. After all, you never know when you'll face a "bad hair day."
Out of all the factors discussed, Friction damages hair most frequently. Daily activities such as combing your hair and sleeping cause friction. The constant rubbing of hair against a surface breaks hair. If you do not protect your hair while you sleep, the friction between your pillow and hair will cause damaged hair. Also, combing hair too often and not using the appropriate comb breaks and damages hair.
*The best way to prevent damaged hair year round is to use H2 Ion hair repair treatments. Because H2 Ion works with heat and in just one minute, you don't need to compromise your time or style for healthy hair. Call or order now for stunningly silky hair in minutes!

Jail for man who racially abused Polish taxi driver
Posted: September 15, 2012|
A MAN has been sent to prison for two years after a string of violent and racially aggravated crimes.
Adam Bowman, aged 23 of How Street, The Barbican, pleaded guilty to causing actual bodily harm, racially-aggravated criminal damage and theft when he appeared at Plymouth Crown Court yesterday.
Bowman pleaded guilty to racially abusing a Polish man, smashing up his taxi and threatening to kill foreigners on June 15.
Alistair Verheijen, for the Crown Prosecution Service, said that during attack Bowman also jumped on the bonnet and roof of the car while punching the windscreen.
The damage caused was £1,100 and in his statement the victim said the incident left him feeling "frightened and upset" and that he "could have been assaulted if the police did not attend".
Bowman also admitted stealing two bottles of cider worth £8.38 on June 15, and to failing to surrender police bail on July 10.
Jason Beal, for Bowman, said the defendant started drinking "copious amounts" at the age of 13. He said: "It's a sad and depressing feature how a child can get addicted to alcohol and it ruin their life in the way it quite clearly has here."

- 5-Lipoxygenase: underappreciated role of a pro-inflammatory enzyme in tumorigenesis (2010)
- Leukotrienes constitute a group of bioactive lipids generated by the 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) pathway. An increasing body of evidence supports an acute role for 5-LO products already during the earliest stages of pancreatic, prostate, and colorectal carcinogenesis. Several pieces of experimental data form the basis for this hypothesis and suggest a correlation between 5-LO expression and tumor cell viability. First, several independent studies documented an overexpression of 5-LO in primary tumor cells as well as in established cancer cell lines. Second, addition of 5-LO products to cultured tumor cells also led to increased cell proliferation and activation of anti-apoptotic signaling pathways. 5-LO antisense technology approaches demonstrated impaired tumor cell growth due to reduction of 5-LO expression. Lastly, pharmacological inhibition of 5-LO potently suppressed tumor cell growth by inducing cell cycle arrest and triggering cell death via the intrinsic apoptotic pathway. However, the documented strong cytotoxic off-target effects of 5-LO inhibitors, in combination with the relatively high concentrations of 5-LO products needed to achieve mitogenic effects in cell culture assays, raise concern over the assignment of the cause, and question the relationship between 5-LO products and tumorigenesis. Keywords: leukotriene, apoptosis, cell proliferation, mitogenic effects, cytotoxicity
- Bioassays to monitor taspase1 function for the identification of pharmacogenetic inhibitors (2011)
- Background: Threonine Aspartase 1 (Taspase1) mediates cleavage of the mixed lineage leukemia (MLL) protein and leukemia provoking MLL-fusions. In contrast to other proteases, the understanding of Taspase1's (patho)biological relevance and function is limited, since neither small molecule inhibitors nor cell based functional assays for Taspase1 are currently available. Methodology/Findings: Efficient cell-based assays to probe Taspase1 function in vivo are presented here. These are composed of glutathione S-transferase, autofluorescent protein variants, Taspase1 cleavage sites and rational combinations of nuclear import and export signals. The biosensors localize predominantly to the cytoplasm, whereas expression of biologically active Taspase1 but not of inactive Taspase1 mutants or of the protease Caspase3 triggers their proteolytic cleavage and nuclear accumulation. Compared to in vitro assays using recombinant components the in vivo assay was highly efficient. Employing an optimized nuclear translocation algorithm, the triple-color assay could be adapted to a high-throughput microscopy platform (Z'factor = 0.63). Automated high-content data analysis was used to screen a focused compound library, selected by an in silico pharmacophor screening approach, as well as a collection of fungal extracts. Screening identified two compounds, N-[2-[(4-amino-6-oxo-3H-pyrimidin-2-yl)sulfanyl]ethyl]benzenesulfonamideand 2-benzyltriazole-4,5-dicarboxylic acid, which partially inhibited Taspase1 cleavage in living cells. Additionally, the assay was exploited to probe endogenous Taspase1 in solid tumor cell models and to identify an improved consensus sequence for efficient Taspase1 cleavage. This allowed the in silico identification of novel putative Taspase1 targets. Those include the FERM Domain-Containing Protein 4B, the Tyrosine-Protein Phosphatase Zeta, and DNA Polymerase Zeta. Cleavage site recognition and proteolytic processing of these substrates were verified in the context of the biosensor. Conclusions: The assay not only allows to genetically probe Taspase1 structure function in vivo, but is also applicable for high-content screening to identify Taspase1 inhibitors. Such tools will provide novel insights into Taspase1's function and its potential therapeutic relevance.
- DOGS: reaction-driven de novo design of bioactive compounds (2012)
- We present a computational method for the reaction-based de novo design of drug-like molecules. The software DOGS (Design of Genuine Structures) features a ligand-based strategy for automated 'in silico' assembly of potentially novel bioactive compounds. The quality of the designed compounds is assessed by a graph kernel method measuring their similarity to known bioactive reference ligands in terms of structural and pharmacophoric features. We implemented a deterministic compound construction procedure that explicitly considers compound synthesizability, based on a compilation of 25'144 readily available synthetic building blocks and 58 established reaction principles. This enables the software to suggest a synthesis route for each designed compound. Two prospective case studies are presented together with details on the algorithm and its implementation. De novo designed ligand candidates for the human histamine H4 receptor and γ-secretase were synthesized as suggested by the software. The computational approach proved to be suitable for scaffold-hopping from known ligands to novel chemotypes, and for generating bioactive molecules with drug-like properties.
- CD69 is a TGF-β/1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 target gene in monocytes (2013)
- CD69 is a transmembrane lectin that can be expressed on most hematopoietic cells. In monocytes, it has been functionally linked to the 5-lipoxygenase pathway in which the leukotrienes, a class of highly potent inflammatory mediators, are produced. However, regarding CD69 gene expression and its regulatory mechanisms in monocytes, only scarce data are available. Here, we report that CD69 mRNA expression, analogous to that of 5-lipoxygenase, is induced by the physiologic stimuli transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) and 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1α,25(OH)2D3) in monocytic cells. Comparison with T- and B-cell lines showed that the effect was specific for monocytes. CD69 expression levels were increased in a concentration-dependent manner, and kinetic analysis revealed a rapid onset of mRNA expression, indicating that CD69 is a primary TGF-β/1α,25(OH)2D3 target gene. PCR analysis of different regions of the CD69 mRNA revealed that de novo transcription was initiated and proximal and distal parts were induced concomitantly. In common with 5-lipoxygenase, no activation of 0.7 kb or ~2.3 kb promoter fragments by TGF-β and 1α,25(OH)2D3 could be observed in transient reporter assays for CD69. Analysis of mRNA stability using a transcription inhibitor and a 3′UTR reporter construct showed that TGF-β and 1α,25(OH)2D3 do not influence CD69 mRNA stability. Functional knockdown of Smad3 clearly demonstrated that upregulation of CD69 mRNA, in contrast to 5-LO, depends on Smad3. Comparative studies with different inhibitors for mitogen activated protein kinases (MAPKs) revealed that MAPK signalling is involved in CD69 gene regulation, whereas 5-lipoxygenase gene expression was only partly affected. Mechanistically, we found evidence that CD69 gene upregulation depends on TAK1-mediated p38 activation. In summary, our data indicate that CD69 gene expression, conforming with 5-lipoxygenase, is regulated monocyte-specifically by the physiologic stimuli TGF-β and 1α,25(OH)2D3 on mRNA level, although different mechanisms account for the upregulation of each gene.
- MPGES-1-derived PGE2 suppresses CD80 expression on tumor-associated phagocytes to inhibit anti-tumor immune responses in breast cancer (2015)
- Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) favors multiple aspects of tumor development and immune evasion. Therefore, microsomal prostaglandin E synthase (mPGES-1/-2), is a potential target for cancer therapy. We explored whether inhibiting mPGES-1 in human and mouse models of breast cancer affects tumor-associated immunity. A new model of breast tumor spheroid killing by human PBMCs was developed. In this model, tumor killing required CD80 expression by tumor-associated phagocytes to trigger cytotoxic T cell activation. Pharmacological mPGES-1 inhibition increased CD80 expression, whereas addition of PGE2, a prostaglandin E2 receptor 2 (EP2) agonist, or activation of signaling downstream of EP2 reduced CD80 expression. Genetic ablation of mPGES-1 resulted in markedly reduced tumor growth in PyMT mice. Macrophages of mPGES-1-/- PyMT mice indeed expressed elevated levels of CD80 compared to their wildtype counterparts. CD80 expression in tumor-spheroid infiltrating mPGES-1-/- macrophages translated into antigen-specific cytotoxic T cell activation. In conclusion, mPGES-1 inhibition elevates CD80 expression by tumor-associated phagocytes to restrict tumor growth. We propose that mPGES-1 inhibition in combination with immune cell activation might be part of a therapeutic strategy to overcome the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment.

At the turn of the 20th century, the beloved, brassy widow Dolly Gallagher Levi comes to New York City. By trade, she is a self-proclaimed "meddler," specializing in matchmaking and a slew of other professions. While attempting to find a match for the wealthy Horace Vangergelder, it becomes clear that she wants him all to herself. Meanwhile, the young artist Ambrose Kemper wants to marry Horace's niece, Ermengarde, but Horace refuses to bless the match because of Ambrose's unsteady line of work. Ambrose asks Dolly to help him win Horace over, and she starts cooking up some plans.
When her matchmaking leads the whole group, including Horace's two clerks, Cornelius and Barnaby, to a fancy New York restaurant, a series of hilarious antics ensue.

Dec. 8, 2008
WOODLAND, Calif. - Cal State Northridge, coming off one of the most successful seasons in its men's volleyball history, was picked to finish fourth in the 2009 MPSF men's volleyball preseason poll released on Monday, Dec. 8.
The Matadors, who finished third in the MPSF last season with a 17-5 conference record, earned a pair of first place votes and 84 points overall to come in just behind Pepperdine (104 pts.) and UCLA (104) and Long Beach State (87). Northridge won 23 matches last season before falling to Brigham Young in the 2008 MPSF Tournament semifinals.
This season, the Matadors return four starters and 11 letterwinners, including 2008 First Team All-American Eric Vance. The outside hitter from Camarillo, Calif., will be the lone senior on the 2009 roster. Other returning starters include 2008 All-MPSF Honorable Mention junior middle blocker Kevin McKniff, junior outside hitter Mike Gaudino and junior libero Ali'i Keohohou. After playing sparingly as a freshman, sophomore Tanner Nua looks to take over at the opposite/right side hitter spot in 2009.
Northridge opens the 2009 season on Jan. 9 at the UCSB/Elephant Bar Invitational.
Complete release courtesy of the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation
In the 2009 MPSF Men's Volleyball Preseason Coaches' Poll, Pepperdine and UCLA collected 104 points along with four and two first-place votes respectively to split the No. 1 ranking. The Waves won the MPSF Tournament Championship last year after finishing tied for fourth in the regular season, and received an automatic bid to the NCAA Final Four. The 2008 national runner-up returns two-time first-team All-American Paul Carroll. The Bruins, who tied the Waves for fourth last year, return all but their libero including all-conference hitters Sean O'Malley and Garrett Muagututia. Long Beach State checks in at No. 3 with 87 points and a pair of first-place votes. The 49ers won the MPSF regular season and were the at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament. Cal State Northridge placed fourth with two top rankings, while UC Irvine placed fifth with one. Only one point behind the Anteaters was USC, also with one first-place vote. Stanford and BYU placed seventh and eighth. Hawaii, UC Santa Barbara, UC San Diego, and Pacific completed the votes. All told, six different teams received at least one top vote in the poll. The top eight finishers in the conference advance to the MPSF Playoffs. The '09 season begins Wednesday, Jan. 7, while a pair of tournaments in Hawaii and Santa Barbara will be held that weekend.
Rank, Team, Points (First-Place Votes), 2008 Record: 2008 MPSF Finish:

The brand new Excelsior Brewing Company is this week's kare11.com Microbrewery of the Week. How new? They just opened last week! Housed in a nearly-century old building in the middle of downtown Excelsior, and just blocks from Lake Minnetonka, the new microbrewery is already planning on expanding their brewspace and adding more brews. We sat down with the three founders - John Klick, Jon Lewin and Patrick Foss - who all live in the namesake of their brewery.
How did your brewery come to be?
John: Because of an old job I used to be in, I was in the craft brew industry. From being in that business, I decided it would be a good idea to start a craft brewery in Excelsior, Minnesota. I came up with the idea and over some little league games - our sons all play on the same baseball team - just some bar talk to Patrick and Jon, and from there, these guys helped light it up and turn it into a reality.
Jon: A lot of 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. [meetings]. Put the kids down and go meet at John's office in Spring Park and start hammering things out. Kind of MBA 101 in the sense that we started with a business plan, just writing stuff down and really educating ourselves. We all kind of immersed ourselves in trade magazines, we went to craft beer festivals in San Francisco and theGreat American Beer Festival and Savor, and really started educating ourselves on the industry. [We tried] to figure out if would be a break-even venture because we like the whole part of community, being able to hire people right here in our backyard and being able to promote the area, so that was a big driver for what we are hoping to do.
Patrick: I think [the idea] was validated on every one of those events, the community that John sold us on and all the [microbreweries] in town that have just been so helpful.
John: When I was going to the trade shows, I was sold more on the people first and really enjoyed the community amongst the brewers. We have a guy who works for us who phrases it the best. I don't think he came up with the term but he calls it "coopertition." It's a huge cooperative movement even though you're all competition. When I met all these breweries likeDeschutes andOmmegang and all these guys out east, they never held their cards close to their chest. They were very open to each other and helped each other and I thought, "Wow. If I could be in a business like that, it would be pretty cool." And then it was beer. That was pretty solid.
How did you name your brewery?
John: The idea for the craft brewery for me when I it'd be great to start one was in Excelsior because back in the day, every small town had a brewery or a brewpub or something like that. Excelsior is a tourist destination; it's a destination town. They got people who bring in buses of people to go on boats, you got a cute little town, you got a ton of history... So that's where I came up with it. Then the word excelsior is pretty strong, as well. I think the meaning, the definition - higher, stronger - is kind of a powerful, in-your-face word as well. But make no mistake; it was Excelsior where we wanted to be. We did openly discuss that if we couldn't be [in Excelsior], we'd go somewhere else but still call it Excelsior Brewing Company.
Patrick: The fact that we live here, we play here... after little league games, we go to Licks ice cream store with the kids. We go to the restaurants here. We get our hair cut. All of this stuff? This was always our town.
What's your favorite beer you make?
John: We've had our beers made on our pilot system, for the most party, where we've been able to sample them and taste them. That's usually just to get you some close characteristics to what you're going to try to make on the big system. What you make on the small system is hard to replicate on your bigger system. We've liked them all out of the pilot system, but everything's a little bit different out of the big system so to say which one is my favorite, I can't tell you that.
Right now, we've launched the Bridge Jumper. It needs some refinements. Undisputed. But there is an overwhelming positive response on the beer so, right now, that's become my favorite.
What's your favorite beer someone else makes?
John:Russian River out in California is one of my favorite breweries. I don't know why but I just fell into their Pliny the Elder. Their beers are just wonderful.
Locally, we have fabulous breweries. Surly; I can't wait to taste whatIndeed comes out with; Harriet, they do some great beers.
Patrick: I'm easy.Bell's and Dogfish. Without question, those two guys. And then local guys. TheFulton guys have put out some good stuff.
Jon: I had a Surly today. I like Surly.
John: I'm a bigBrau Brothers fan, too.
Jon: Sierra Nevada. That's what got me started on craft beer. And then Summit. I love Summit.
John: Just like every other craft beer enthusiast, we're all over the board. It's a good thing and a bad thing when you're a company trying to get brand loyalty, you have all these experimental people out there. It's no different for us, too. But I can't go buy a Russian River right now, unfortunately, in Minnesota so I'm screwed.
What are your plans for the brewery's future?
Jon: Expansion-wise, the way we approached this building from the get-go was we can do 12,000 barrels here. If we do 12,000 barrels, we got one heck of a business. We've got a nice staff of people. We've said what we were going to do; bring in local people and give them jobs, bring the community here, bring tourists in. I think we've got a nice little brewery here.
Patrick: We hope to have the problem that a lot of good craft brewers have and that's just trying to keep up. We built the building with the idea that fermentation space can go to the east, the cold room will move... It's manageable space for us. I think we can grow as the demand goes and the biggest thing is have great beer. Great beer will cover a lot of little mistakes. If we have great beer, that's what it's all about.
What is the best piece of advice someone gave you before you started?
John: [Laughs.] We paid for bad advice! I wouldn't call it bad but the biggest piece of advice [a hired consultant] gave us was to run, not walk away from this building. I don't know if that was good or bad yet based off what we've dropped into this building but it really was the only building for us in this town at the end of the day. This was the very first building we looked at, had a consultant come in, tell us it wasn't the greatest building so we looked at every other building and wasted a lot of time and ultimately came back to this building. And we fired the consultant.
Jon: For me, I work a day job for Dave Frauenshuh who's been an entrepreneur his whole life. I've worked for him for eight years and he's always told me "invest in people, not ideas." I can say without question I invested in the right people. Who's to say if it's going to be successful or not, but I know I made the right investment in the right person. So from an advice standpoint, investing in the right people, that sits pretty strong with me.
John: I feel like we should all hug [laughs].
Describe the local craft beer scene in 11 words or less.
Patrick: I can't think of any place I would rather be. Beer.
John: Coopertition.
Jon: Fun to see Minnesota carve its own craft beer niche.
If you're not drinking beer, what are you drinking?
John: Coffee.
Jon: Coffee or milk.
John: Coffee and water for me. Coffee, water and beer make up my beverage diet, pretty much. Milk... I don't drink a big glass of milk but I'll drink a big glass of water and a big coffee and a big beer.
Jon: I've never been a mixed drink guy. I've never had my go-to mixed drink.
John: Oh! Well, if you're going there, I'm a big single malt guy. I like a nice 18-year-old single malt Scotch for sure. I'm aMacallan's fan but Patrick will throw down a fabulous anything in front of me, I'll drink it and be happy.
Patrick: A single malt with a small cube in there. How does it get better than that? Predominately its beer these days. And water to rehydrate.
Excelsior's beers are currently only available in growlers and on draft. Growlers are sold at the brewery. Tours are given Saturday's from 12-2 p.m. and the tap room is open Thursdays and Fridays from 4-10 p.m., and Saturdays from 2-10 p.m.

Mr. Bacon: Good afternoon. Welcome to the Pentagon. Let me first bring you up to date on the situation in Florida.
We now have a total of 1,580 DoD personnel supporting the fire fighting efforts in Florida, 42 active duty and the rest are Florida Army National Guard personnel, some Florida Air Guard personnel, and some Georgia Guard personnel, as well.
And as you know, over the weekend, the Air Force, through the Transportation Command, provided a lot of airlift to bring in civilian fire fighters and fire engines. They used C-5s and C-141s to augment the fire fighting forces in Florida.
I understand it has been raining today, or is supposed to rain, but the fires are still going. We hope the rain will dampen them, obviously.
With that, I will take your questions.
Q: Ken, this crash, the Blackhawk helicopter crash in the Bahamas, can you explain to us both what the helicopter was doing there and what this flight was supposed to be about, and whether there was any indication that there was authorization for civilians to be on board?
A: Well, first of all, these helicopters were supporting a drug enforcement mission in the Bahamas called Operation BAHAMAS and TURKS, or OPBAT, and that is a mission that's run by the Drug Enforcement Agency.
The military has provided helicopter support for transportation since 1983. There were three Blackhawks down there at the time. I think that is our standard support complement, three Blackhawks, and the helicopters are used to transport U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency personnel and Bahamian police to places they need to go to do their work of interdicting drug smugglers and drug traffickers generally.
That's why the helicopters were down there. That's why they've been down there for the last 15 years, supporting that mission. It is only a transportation function.
The helicopter that crashed, as I understand it, was on a maintenance test flight. In other words, it had undergone some maintenance, some repairs, and it was flying to see if those repairs had been successful.
Obviously, the crash is under investigation by the Army, and it will take them some time to complete the investigation and figure out exactly what happened, so it's premature to comment on the specific details of the crash now.
Q: What about the (inaudible) on board?
A: Well, my understanding is that the Army has not completed notifying the secondary next of kin in this case, and it is probably not proper to comment on who was on board and who was killed until that is completed.
Q: Well, can you talk about the two civilians on board?
A: I cannot. I'm not going to talk about who was on board or the circumstances until the Army, one, notifies the next of kin and; two, I think I would rather let the Army comment on that after they have done their own investigation.
Q: Can you say whether or not there was any authorization for civilians to be on board?
A: I cannot. That is something for the Army to respond to.
Q: Can you speak though, in general, that if it was a maintenance test flight, obviously, and there might have been problems, and this was to look at whether the repairs even were (inaudible)? Is it proper, in general, on such a flight to have any kind of non-military --
A: Well, first of all, let me correct what I said. I don't even know if repairs were made. They might have lubricated part of the machine. I have no idea what sort of maintenance was performed.
All I do know is that they were flying the helicopter after it was in for some maintenance. It could have been scheduled maintenance, like an oil change, or it could have been extraordinary maintenance. I don't know that. That's one of the reasons why the Army is the best source of information on this.
Q: Just in general, what is the procedure for the military to be carrying any kind of civilian on an aircraft?
A: It generally, as I understand it, requires authorization to carry civilians on military aircraft.
Q: There may or may not have been authorization?
A: I don't know whether they had authorization or not.
Q: Can you comment on the Greek Minister of Defense Apostolos Tsokhatzopoulos' visit as a guest of the DoD Secretary William Cohen, and do you know the agenda for the talks tomorrow here at the Department of Defense?
A: Well, it will be a wide-ranging agenda. They will talk about Kosovo, obviously. They will talk about the NATO consideration of military options in Kosovo. They will talk about confidence-building measures in the Aegean and ways to reduce tensions in the Aegean between our two loyal allies, Greece and Turkey.
They will, I'm sure, talk about Bosnia. They will probably talk about such NATO issues as the new strategic concept that is being drafted in Brussels now. They may talk about NATO expansion issues, because that is one of the major issues in NATO today. And I suspect, also, they will talk about Cyprus and ways that our countries can work together to reduce tensions on Cyprus.
Q: So (inaudible), the then-U.S. Under Secretary, under Henry Kissinger during the Turkish invasion of Cyprus, today appeared (inaudible) on the issue of S-300 missiles to Cyprus. I wonder, Mr. Bacon, if this particular issue will be in the agenda of Tsokhatzopoulos' talks and what do you expect from the Greek Minister of Defense?
A: I don't think I want to speak for the Greek Minister of Defense, but I'm sure that the S-300 missile issue will arise in the context of ways to reduce tensions on Cyprus.
Q: How do you assess, finally, those talks between Tsokhatzopoulos and Cohen (inaudible) for the security of Greece and the (inaudible)?
A: Well, these talks will be the second chapter of the relationship they began in Athens, and it's a reciprocal visit in return for the very good visit that Secretary Cohen had in Athens. I think the Secretary and the Minister of Defense have established a good relationship and this will build on that relationship.
Q: Are you concerned about the security of Greece?
A: I'm sorry?
A: Well, Greece and the United States are allies in the most successful security alliance in the history of the world. I think both countries are very secure, and they will concentrate on talking about ways to expand the security that both our countries enjoy to other countries in the area, in the Balkans, and also to the Aegean area as well.
Q: Do you have any insight as to whether the two gentlemen will sign any agreements of any arms sales or anything of that --
A: I don't believe they will.
Q: Can you comment on the significance of the apparent agreement now with the United States and China to conduct joint military exercises?
A: Well, first of all, let me say that China and the United States have been working on ways to improve military to military relationships since December of 1996, when the Defense Minister -- Chinese Defense Minister Chi came and visited Secretary Perry. Then, at the summit here last year in November between President Jiang and President Clinton, there was discussion of ways to work together in exercises and to improve military to military relationships. Secretary Cohen discussed this same theme in Beijing in January and it was obviously one of the topics that came up on President Clinton's visit to China last month and early this month.
We have already had joint search-and-rescue exercises with China. We had air exercises at the end of December in 1997. We had a long series of joint search-and-rescue exercises with the British forces operating out of Hong Kong. The British left and China took over the security of Hong Kong and we continued the same types of exercises with the Chinese forces. So, the first one we held was, as I said, late last December and that was with the Hong Kong Civil Aviation Department, the U.S. Air Force, and the U.S. Coast Guard.
There's another one planned to take place this December and that will, I assume, go ahead as scheduled. That will be another joint search-and-rescue exercise with the Hong Kong Civil Aviation Department, the U.S. Air Force and, I believe, the Coast Guard as well. So far, I believe those are the only joint exercises we've had with the Chinese military.
We have, long before the summit, invited them to send observers to several exercises and one just started yesterday. It's called RIMPAC 1998. It's an annual Naval exercise that takes place in the Pacific. It's a large Naval exercise and the Chinese have agreed to send two observers to that exercise. They will be aboard ships participating in the exercise. I believe there are six countries in the exercise. They will be aboard ships between July 15th and July 20th in and around Hawaii.
There's a second exercise that will begin later this month and that is called Cooperative Cope-Thunder, which is an air exercise -- multi-lateral air exercise -- that will take place in Alaska. That will involve air forces -- air force representatives -- from the United Kingdom, United States, Australia, Japan, Singapore, and there will be two Chinese observers watching that exercise as well. As I said, these arrangements were made long before the President's trip to China.
What was new and a breakthrough on the President's trip to China was an agreement to have reciprocal observer missions watching joint exercises in the two countries. The details of that haven't been worked out yet, but there was a fact sheet issued by the National Security Council when the President was in China that said both countries had agreed to send observers. That means we would send observers to China to watch certain military exercises and, on a reciprocal basis, they would be able to send observers to the United States to watch certain exercises.
So, over the next weeks and months, representatives from China and the United States will sit down and work out a schedule of joint exercises in each country that will be observed by the other country. And that was significant, because it's the first time that we've moved to a reciprocal observer status. Previously, we have invited the Chinese, and they haven't always invited us to watch their exercises.
Q: Further on China?
Q: Just on this point, is there a stated number of reciprocal exercises?
A: No, there was not a stated number. I mean, the fact sheet that was issued in China just contains a sentence -- two or three sentences, I guess -- on this explaining what's going to happen, saying that the details would be worked out. And I can give you a copy of that fact sheet if you don't have one already.
Q: Just so I understand, all the specific exercise information that you gave us before, that is stuff that was already planned? That was not covered by this new breakthrough, is it?
A: The Chinese observers, the PRC observers that had been sent to watch -- that will be sent to watch RIMPAC and that will be sent to watch Cooperative Cope-Thunder in Alaska -- those arrangements were made prior to the President's visit. They were very much in the spirit of the earlier summit that President Clinton had had with President Jiang here in late 1997.
Q: Have they reciprocated yet and planned any other -- any exercises that U.S. observers would go to?
A: I don't believe so, but that's exactly what was going to be worked out in talks following up on the summit.
Q: This used to be a rather modest number of observers. What's the value of this? I mean, does it go beyond the actual numbers? I mean --
A: I think it's actually a rather important confidence-building measure. It shows that, one, we have nothing to hide in these exercises involving several countries. And two, it shows the Chinese that we're willing to come and watch our exercises and other countries working together. We've been working very hard for the last couple of years to get the Chinese to subscribe to these types of confidence-building measures and also to become more open in their own planning and their own exercising, so that it will reduce the possibility of miscalculation by neighboring countries.
We've appealed to them, for instance, to brief our neighboring countries on their budgetary plans, their defense modernization and spending plans. And we've sent Assistant Secretary Warner and teams of people to China to brief them on our budget. They get briefings similar to what you get down here in the Pentagon press room on our modernization plans.
Q: I've got another China question. With regard to the detargeting arrangement that was announced a week ago by the President, Ken I understand that there are no details that had been worked out in that agreement yet. Is that correct? Is it much the same as the observer matter and -- was it even mentioned that there might be observers or visitations of various representatives to each nuclear arsenal of each country?
A: I'm not up on the details of that, but the President just returned on July 4th. He's only been back in the country for three days, so it's not surprising that there may be some details that aren't completely worked out yet. But my understanding is that those details will be worked out as necessary.
Q: All right. One other point I wanted to pursue in this particular matter, is the United States nuclear forces, especially the missile forces, are they currently de-targeted completely and would it be necessary for the U.S. to do anything at all to meet the detargeting agreement with the Chinese?
A: Our forces have been detargeted since 1994. They have not been aimed at any country. That was the -- we detargeted our forces after our agreement with the Russians in 1994.
Q: The matter of Gen. Hale. Now that the Pentagon Inspector General's report has been released, has it caused -- and has found a pattern of inappropriate behavior by the General -- does it call to question at all Gen. Reimer's decision to allow him to retire?
A: I don't believe so. I think there's been a lot of confusion about Gen. Reimer, the Army Chief of Staff. First, he's not the subject of any investigation. Gen. Reimer is not the subject of any investigation. Let me explain what happened back in March.
When the Hale story broke the DoD IG -- when it broke in the press, the DoD IG was already looking into allegations concerning Major General Hale. The IG focused, and you've seen the report -- the redacted version of the report -- focused on the charges involving Major General Hale and some other charges that arose in the course of the investigation. The IG did not look at how Gen. Reimer or anybody else in the Army handled Major General Hale's request to retire.
When Secretary Cohen learned of the allegations against Major General Hale and that the IG was already investigating those charges, he asked the Department's General Counsel to review the Army's procedures for handling the retirements of general officers. So the second part here was a review requested by Secretary Cohen, and that review was to be conducted by the General Counsel of the Department of Defense.
That review focused on the Army's regulatory methodology for processing the retirement requests of general officers. It looked at how those procedures were applied to Major General Hale's request to retire. The purpose of that review by the General Counsel is to determine if the process for handling retirement requests is fair and adequate. It is not -- and I repeat again -- it is not a review of Gen. Reimer's actions. It's a review of procedures and process.
The general counsel's review is not complete and, therefore, the General Counsel has not sent it forward to Secretary Cohen yet.
Q: Just to be clear then, Gen. Reimer is not facing any future judgment on whether he did the right thing in allowing Gen. Hale to retire?
A: That is correct.
Q: Does that mean that Secretary Cohen supports Reimer's decision to pull out and he'll retire early?
A: Well, Secretary Cohen wants to see all the facts in this but, as I expressed earlier, his actions, Gen. Riemer's actions, are not under review here. What's under review are the Army procedures for dealing with retirement requests by general officers.
Q: Are you saying by that that Gen. Reimer did follow Army procedures and that, therefore, that's why it's not a question but that perhaps if there is a problem perceived by the General Counsel with these procedures that there may be some changes made in that?
A: Well, the Army has already made some changes in its procedures. It did that about three weeks ago. There may be more changes made as a result of this review. I think it's premature to say if there will be changes made or what they will be if they are made, but there could be more made as a result of this review.
Q: At this point with the review not concluded, you cannot say whether Gen. Reimer and the Army followed the normal procedures that they would follow?
A: Well, I think it's not appropriate for me to comment on the review until it's complete. But I want to point out that Gen. Reimer's action here is not what's at issue. It was the procedures that the Army followed or the procedures that the Army had and followed.
Q: It would be impossible to examine the procedures without looking at Gen. Reimer's actions because he was obviously an important part of that procedure, right?
A: Well, I think that the review is, as I said, focused on the regulatory process.
Q: But isn't Gen. Reimer a key element in that regulatory process?
A: I think I've been very clear here. Gen. Reimer is not the issue. I think I said at the very beginning that he's not the subject of any investigation. I have said that he is not, that his actions are not, under review. Gen. Reimer is not the issue. What we're looking at here --
Q: (Inaudible) arbitrarily before the investigation is even conducted or completed absolutely dismissed Gen. Reimer's actions in this regard since he is such a key element in that regulatory process.
A: Well, there are many -- I think that when the facts are all out here you'll see that it's a very complex issue. But I just want to tell you that what the General Counsel has been looking at is the regulatory process or the procedures that the Army had in place.
Q: Secretary Cohen has full confidence in Gen. Reimer's performance in light of Hale's retirement?
A: I think Secretary Cohen has complete confidence in Gen. Reimer.
Q: I have a question about whether or not the Army insists that Gen. Hale will not escape punishment if it's determined that he has been guilty of some significant wrongdoing. Is there any question about whether the Army will be able to mete out punishment such as reduction in rank or even court martial now that Hale is retired?
A: Well, the Army is looking at its options right now and, as you know, has asked its Criminal Investigative Division to provide some more information to it to answer some questions it didn't think were answered completely by the Department IG report, and it will decide what to do when it assembles all those facts. But I think the Army is quite confident it will be able to do what it decides to do.
Q: When will the General Counsel's work be finished?
A: It's hard for me to say when it will be completed. I don't think it will be too long.
Q: Will you release that report?
A: I don't know whether we will or we won't. To the extent that it produces changes in procedures, we'll certainly announce those.
Q: Can I just go back one more time and make sure I understand something. The General Counsel is reviewing Army procedures. But if I did understand you correctly, there is no review of whether Gen. Reimer followed the procedures that existed at that time; is that correct?
A: As I said, what the General Counsel is looking at is the Army's regulatory methodology, its procedures for handling these retirements. It is not -- this is not a -- there is no one person who is the subject of this review. It is much more looking at a system or a set of procedures.
Q: Sure, I understand that point. But just to the best of your knowledge anywhere in the Department of Defense or in the Department of the Army, is anyone reviewing whether or not Gen. Reimer complied with the procedures as they existed at that time?
A: They're looking at the adequacy of the procedures and, of course, how they were followed. But the issue here is not what Gen. Reimer did or didn't do; it's the procedures.
Q: How can you lay to rest the concerns about a double standard without looking at Gen. Reimer's actions?
A: Well, first of all, double standards are always very tricky. It's easy to use the term "double standard" to sort of evoke double standard, but usually when you examine the facts and compare very -- two very complex or three very complex situations involving human activity, the facts are usually so radically different between the two that I think most reasonable people come to the conclusion that it's difficult to easily make it the general standard charge, the double standard charge, here. I think when the facts are known here, people will see that it's not a double standard.
Q: Let me try once more on this question of the General Counsel and Reimer. If the General Counsel is looking at how the procedures were applied in this case, the Hale case, how can that -- whether or not his name is mentioned, how can that be anything but a judgement on Reimer's handling of this case?
A: You all seem to want to rush to judgment on this. What I've said very clearly that this investigation is not focusing on the activity of one person. It's not focusing on Gen. Reimer. It's focusing on procedures.
The person that is the subject of this investigation is Major General Hale. It's not anybody else. That's what the IG has focused on. The General Counsel doesn't have to focus on Gen. Hale because that's being done by the IG. What the General Counsel is doing, at the request of the Secretary, is focusing on the Army's system or procedures for dealing with general officer retirements.
Q: But you also said he was looking at how it was applied, and how those procedures were applied in the Hale case, right?
A: I did say that.
Q: Well, Ken, am I missing something?
A: Yeah, I think what you're missing is that this is looking at procedures. It is - Gen. Reimer is not the subject of an investigation. He is -- the purpose of this is not to review Gen. Reimer's actions. I don't see how it can be clearer than that. I've said it four times if I've said it once.
Q: The instigation of the General Counsel's investigation is Secretary Cohen?
A: Yes.
Q: And what prompted that?
A: He wanted to make sure that the -- he wanted to look at the Army's procedures in this case. And that's what the General Counsel is doing.
Q: So the Hale case prompted his interest?
A: Yes, the Hale case prompted his interest.
Q: Well, Ken, how are you going to deal with the perception that this review by the General Counsel has been set up in such a way to protect Reimer from any criticism?
A: I'm going to deal with it by letting the facts come out and assuming that people will review the facts fairly and reach the conclusion the facts leads them to.
Q: So to try to summarize here, is to look at the procedures and perhaps look how the procedures worked in this particular case to examine the adequacy of those procedures, not the adequacy of any individual's behavior? Is that sort of it?
A: The purpose here is to -- of the IG investigation is to examine Major General Hale's behavior. And you've seen the report. You can judge whether they've done that adequately or not.
Q: I am sorry to ask it. But there was an allegation brought before the Department that Gen. Reimer did not fairly apply the regulations and rules as they stood at that time. What is it that has made the Department decide to dismiss that allegation apparently and not look into it? You're saying that it's not being looked into?
A: I'm saying that the issue here is Major General Hale's behavior and the IG was told to look into that, asked to look into by the Army, and has looked into that. And you've seen the report.
The Secretary separately asked the General Counsel to look at the system or procedures for handling general officer retirements -- retirement requests. That's what the General Counsel has been doing. The report is not yet done and it hasn't gone to the Secretary yet.
Q: So what -- you said the Army did make some changes three weeks ago. Those escaped my attention. What were the changes?
A: It basically had to do with the role of the Secretary of the Army in making these decisions and the need to get full facts from the Inspector General. And one of the issues here throughout and one of the issues that will be looked at is what sort of information the Army had when it acted on the requirement request.
Q: So the General Counsel's investigation is into procedure with no intent to apply any sort of punitive action?
A: That's correct.
Q: Against any individuals?
Q: So while Gen. Reimer is not the focus of this investigation, are Gen. Reimer's actions excluded from this investigation?
A: Well, I've said it as clear as I can. He's not the focus of this investigation. It's not directed at a person. It's directed at procedures.
Q: Can you explain these changes a little better, Ken. You're saying that now before -- before another general is allowed to retire, if there's anything going on in the -- about him in the IG's office there has to be some sort of full report to the Secretary of the Army before he can be allowed to retire?
A: There has to be a review of any investigations that are underway and --
Q: Nothing existed at the time?
A: There was not a procedure to do that at the time. And that was one of the issues here.
Q: But that was a requirement, even though there wasn't a procedure?
A: I'm not positive that it was a requirement, actually. But the Secretary of the Army -- the Acting Secretary of the Army Mike Walker has signed a memo that makes it very clear that from now on, there has to be full disclosure of any problems or allegations that a person may be facing at the time he or she requests retirement.
Q: Can we get it?
A: You can get it from the Army, sure.
Q: From the reading of the IG's report, it seems -- and correct me if I'm wrong that -- although it was redacted for names -- that Major General Hale lied or didn't speak the full truth when asked about the investigation of his activities to DoD personnel, I believe. Isn't that the essence of the problem here, that one individual believed Major General Hale when he was told that this was not a serious problem and was allowed to retire?
A: Well, I think that that --
Q: And it's that trust from one individual -- which seems to Gen. Reimer -- of another individual and that this did not meet the standards of proper Army leadership, I believe it was put. It seems to go to the essence of the relationship between these two men; therefore, it should bring into question Gen. Reimer's act.
A: You've read the report. And the subject of the IG report is Major General Hale and his activities and now the Army is looking at that report and deciding how to respond to it.
Q: Is the Secretary pleased with the Army's response? Is that enough?
A: The Secretary -- the Army hasn't responded yet.
Q: The Army has given it to the CID?
Q: Criminal Investigations. Is that -- in Secretary Cohen's finding?
A: It's one step in a longer process.
Q: Right.
A: The process isn't over.
Q: When will the Army respond?
A: Pardon?
Q: will the Army respond?
A: I don't know how long it's going to take them to do the investigation, and I don't know whether if they're, in fact, going to wait until the investigation is complete. I think they're -- now, this is a complex issue. And most complex issues take time to resolve. I'm sure they'll do it as soon as they can.
Q: Another question. Do you have any guidance on the time frame for the release of the Pentagon's investigation of Operation TAILWIND? Do you know if that will be this week or perhaps --
A: Well, we're hoping to get a working draft of the report by Friday. And depending on what shape the draft is in, I would guess that it will be out sometime next week. Don't hold me to that. It will -- as I say -- depend on the draft and then it will depend on when the Secretary can get the time to review it once it's complete.
Q: You're not aware of any startling new discoveries?
A: I am not. I am not.
Q: Have you declassified all the documents that were previously classified?
A: I don't know the answer to that question. We've certainly declassified a lot and we're in -- in terms of pages. And I think there were 75 pages -- 76 pages which I believe will be declassified, if they haven't already, isn't that right?
A Participant: Still working that.
A: Still working that, but they should be declassified.
Q: Does that include after-action reports?
A: Well, I believe there will be some after-action reports in there. But I haven't looked at the whole list of stuff that's been declassified.
Q: Is that investigation confined only to the military's actions in Vietnam in 1970, the operation in question, or does it involve the subsequent reporting of TAILWIND?
A: You mean subsequent reporting by CNN?
A: The investigation will look primarily at the two charges that CNN made and has retracted. And it will ask the questions: Were these charges correct? What do we know about them? And are they supported by the facts? That's what the investigation will do. And I'm quite confident that -- based on everything that I've seen -- the investigation will conclude, as did CNN, that the charges cannot be supported.
Q: But will the investigation also include whatever interaction there was between CNN and the military and Pentagon during that reporting process?
A: No.
Q: Okay.
A: That's one of the things that -- I read the CNN report, the one done by Floyd Abrams, and he does that in quite some detail. Yes.
Q: Quick question on -- general question on the disciplining of retired general officers. I think DDI checked a few weeks ago to see whether anyone had ever been recalled to active duty to be disciplined, and I think the answer was "no" in any of the services throughout American history. But I'm wondering are there cases in which retired general officers in this situation of Hale have been -- have been seriously sanctioned, though they are already retired? Could you check?
A: Well, I don't know the answer to that. I'm not sure that history is always a guide to the future, however.
Q: Could I go to the subject of Korea (inaudible)?
Q: I have one more on this. Ken, you spoke about changes a couple of weeks ago to the Army's procedures on handling retirement requests of general officers. Are these procedures different from service to service?
A: I expect that when the General Counsel finishes her review that the recommendations will be service-wide, not just confined to the Army.
Q: Another serious matter. Ken, we were in the State Department yesterday going over the figures on oil delivery to Korea. And if 66,000 metric tons of oil is, indeed, purchased with money that's not yet available, then only two-fifths or a little more than 40 percent of the promised 500,000 metric tons will be delivered in three-quarters of the delivery year, October 20 -- October 21st, I believe it is. In other words, we are -- the U.S. and KEDO are very far behind and the Koreans -- the North Koreans have been kicking about it and say they're going to pull out, break the KEDO framework and go ahead and go on with their nuclear processing, et cetera. My question to you is does the Pentagon see the North Korean attitude as justified and does the Pentagon have any money to kick in?
A: This is a State Department issue now. And in the past we have always met our obligation under the framework agreement, and I have no reason to believe we won't meet our obligation this time under the framework agreement.
As you correctly pointed out, the year for this purpose ends on October 20th. We have several months between now and then, and I anticipate that we will deliver the full amount of oil on time.
Q: And so as far as you know, the North Koreans have not begun any kind of activities? I understand they started to lube the -- and maintain their processing plant? Has that happened?
A: Well, they've been able to do some maintenance, I think, under the agreement, but the issue here is that their nuclear program remains frozen. That is why the framework agreement is important. That's why it's important for the United States, including the United States Congress, to support the framework agreement, and that's why the frame work agreement helps bring peace and stability to the entire Asian region. And that's why we're so determined to meet our obligations under the framework agreement, so it remains in effect.
Q: And under the agreement, U.S. monitors or safeguards remained in effect to --
A: I think they may be International Atomic Energy Agency monitors, not U.S. monitors. I think they're IAEA.
Press: Thank you.

It can be hard to keep up with everything going on in the University of Kentucky's 22 varsity sports. With that in mind, we will highlight the best from around Kentucky sports each week. We'll recognize the best performances from Wildcat teams and players, we'll show you the coolest videos and photos that you may have missed and we'll mix in some new stuff along the way. Here are your award winners for this week:
Team of the Week: Baseball wins three of four, takes series from No. 1 LSU
In what could be considered one of the biggest weeks in UK baseball history, the No. 2 Wildcats came through in a big way. After taking down UC earlier in the week 7-0, Kentucky fell to No. 1 LSU in Friday's opener of the three-game series.
Per usual, Kentucky bounced back and took the final two games of the weekend as it has in every SEC series since sweeping defending national champions South Carolina in the opening weekend of SEC play. The Wildcats dominated the top-ranked Tigers 8-1 on Saturday to even the series, and won a nail-biter in the finale, 7-6.
Kentucky (35-6, 13-5 SEC) has yet to lose an SEC series this season, and with the two wins over LSU, holds a one game lead in the conference. The big weekend, despite less than ideal weather conditions, broke a weekend series record for attendance with 9,496.
Players of the Week - Rossi, Jomby named to SEC All-Tournament team
Kentucky junior Anthony Rossi and sophomore Tom Jomby were named to the All-Tournament team this weekend. The Wildcats fell to Georgia in the final of the SEC Tournament, losing their first match in conference play.
Rossi recorded big wins this weekend in the tournament, defeating Jeff Offerdahl 6-4 to take the set and clinch the match against Vanderbilt in the quarterfinals. He was also in position to win his match against Mississippi's Jonas Lutjen, leading 5-1, when play was suspended and Kentucky had clinched a birth into the tournament championship.
Jomby was key in doubles play all weekend, getting wins along side Alejandro Gomez against Vandy and Ole Miss. The sophomore also won singles matches Vanderbilt's Blake Bazarnik (6-3, 7-6) and Mississippi's William Kallberg (6-3, 6-3) before falling in the championship to Georgia's Ignacio Taboada.
Game of the Week - Baseball takes series over LSU with 7-6 win in rubber match
The top two teams in the country and SEC split the first two games of their weekend series in Lexington, Ky. this weekend, forcing a decisive game three for conference superiority. Both Kentucky and LSU entered the series with an 11-4 mark in the SEC, and the winner of Sunday's game would hold a one-game lead in the conference.
In a see-saw battle, the Tigers and Wildcats exchanged jabs with some of the best talent in the country, but despite LSU's best effort, Kentucky came out on top. It was a total team effort for the Cats, as a balanced offensive attack along with a huge bullpen effort staved off the Tigers while earning a 7-6 win.
After Kentucky had fallen behind 5-4 in top of the sixth inning, they answered with three runs on four doubles in the bottom of the frame. Zac Zellers, Matt Reida, J.T. Riddle, and Austin Cousino each recorded doubles that inning. Meanwhile, the bullpen duo of Tim Peterson and Alex Phillips combined for 3.1 innings of one-run baseball to close the game out and finish of the Tigers.

Alumnae of the Week - Brandon Knight scores career-high 28 in win over Cleveland
Brandon Knight, one of a long line of successful point guards to play for John Calipari, put up a career-high 28 points in a win over the Cleveland Cavaliers Tuesday night.
In Detroit's 116-77 blowout of the Cavs, Knight shot 11-of-12 from the field while adding 7 assists. In an up and down season for the first-year point guard, Knight is ending the season on a high note. Knight is averaging 18.3 points and 5.5 assists in the last six games and 15.1 ppg and 3.8 apg in his rookie campaign.

As Press staff writer Becky Campbell reported in Thursday's paper, deputies in the Washington County Sheriff's Office are being equipped with Tasers — devices that fire barbs attached by wires to batteries that deliver 1,200 volts of low-amp electricity for five seconds.
The idea is to use them to temporarily immobilize a suspect who might not otherwise be restrained without using deadly force. Tasers, however, have come under investigation in relation to a number of cases where their use is believed to have contributed to the injury or death of a suspect.
Taser International Inc., the company that manufactures the stun guns, issued a training bulletin in 2009 stating the weapon could pose a low risk of an "adverse cardiac event."
Company officials were quick to say the bulletin did not mean Tasers cause cardiac arrest. Instead, they said the advisory suggests law-enforcement agencies can avoid controversy over the topic if their officers aim at areas other than the chest.
The advisory came a week before police in San Bernardino, Calif., reported a 19-year-old man died after officers used a Taser to subdue him at a board-and-care facility.
A similar incident in 2005 led the Cook County medical examiner's office in Illinois to rule that Ronald Hasse died as a result of being Tasered by Chicago Police. Electrocution was cited as the primary cause of death, with drugs listed as a contributing factor. Taser officials dispute those and other similar findings, and the company continues to deny a direct link between the device and deaths.
Even so, it is important that Washington County sheriff's deputies know when and how to use a Taser correctly. Failure to do so could create a liability problem for the county.
That's why we are pleased to hear that Sheriff Ed Graybeal insisted his department thoroughly research this matter before purchasing these devices. We are also pleased to see the sheriff is training his officers on their proper use.

"It's not just a political issue but a human issue"
I have the unfortunate quality of feeling things really deeply. Instead of saying or thinking "oh, that's sad" and moving on with my life I let whatever The Bad is consume me. It's something I have been working on but after the events in Newtown, Connecticut, I cannot shake this feeling of dread. It's that a person who was clearly depressed and had mental health issues - as evidenced by his Twitter postings - needed help and was unable to get the help he deserved.
It could be remembering being a child when the at the time of the Oklahoma city boming and I recall reading and hearing about the bombing and how the children in that day care center perished. I remember walking up to my mother's room while she was watching the 11 o'clock news and asking if I, too, would die from decapitation. And I remember the difficulty of the conversation my mother had to have with her then 10 year old daughter.
It could be living in Washington during the fall of 2002 when two snipers terrorized the city.
And it could be the thought that schools are supposed to be a safe place, a first grade classroom full of primary colors, and that isn't the case.
All of these things compounded in my mind make my already sensitive soul that much more delicate.
Over at Change in Action I wrote about the reality of the need for Congress to take a stand on how guns are sold and how ammunition is available to the public. I wrote it because unfortunately we need to be realistic when it comes to getting meaningful legislation passed. That doesn't mean that it can't or shouldn't happen it just means that there is that much more work that needs to be done and this - passing effective legislation - is something that we all need to contribute to. As the uncle of Noah Pozner, a six year old killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School said, this isn't just a political issue, it's a human issue.

Sarah Storey and Jonathan Fox give Team GB a head start in the medal tally and set new world records
Sarah Storey and Jonathan Fox got the British Paralympic team's medal tally off to a flying start yesterday, winning two golds and each setting world records on the opening day of the competition.
Their wins, together with three silvers and two bronzes put Britain third in the medal table, behind China and Australia.
The first gold of the day was won by Sarah Storey in a rip-roaring race around the Velodrome. The medal was her eighth Paralympic gold and her 19th Paralympic medal and makes her one of the country's most decorated Paralympians.
She had already, rather authoritatively, set the

One interesting thing is that the Nihilum live raid is an officially sponsored event -- for some reason I thought that, like their other events, it was an unofficial look at the high-end content, but it's right there on Blizzard's official schedule, and will likely be on their stage as well. That's an interesting connection between some of the game's best players and the actual developer.
It's almost here! Stay tuned for Worldwide Invitational news right here on WoW Insider all weekend, of course -- we'll have people live on the scene, and anything we know all weekend long, you'll know too. More details on our coverage are coming up soon -- it looks to be a terrific event in Paris, and we can't wait to see what Blizzard's got planned for us this time.

LAS CRUCES, N.M. (April 27) - The New Mexico State University women's tennis team came within one point of upsetting top seeded No. 51 Fresno State, falling 4-3 in the semifinals of the Western Athletic Conference (WAC) tennis tournament on Friday at the NM State Tennis Center.
The Aggies began the match by dropping the first two matches of the doubles point. The senior tandem of Manon Sylvain and Natalia Salum were leading 7-5 in the No. 1 doubles match before the match was called.
Despite dropping the doubles point, the Aggies battled tough through the singles matches. Sophomore Ros-Polly Nguyen earned the first win for NM State when she defeated Laura Pola 6-4, 6-0, in the No. 6 singles match.
After the No. 2 match ended in a victory for Fresno State, NM State answered with their own victory when Salum defeated Melissa McQueen 6-4, 6-3, in the No. 4 match.
The match went back and forth once again, with Fresno State earning the victory at No. 1 singles and NM State earning the victory in the No. 3 match shortly afterward. Junior Ginet Pinero defeated Olga Kirpicheva 7-6 (9-7), 6-2, to even the meet at three points each.
Sophomore Annemieke Witte was able to battle back after losing the first set to win the second set to force a third set. Witte was able to bring the match to within two games of a victory, but fell short, losing to Bianca Modoc 6-0, 3-6, 6-4, in the No. 5 match.
"I'm so proud of these girls for taking a team ranked near the top 50 to a deciding match," head coach Ivan Fernandez said. "We knew it was going to be tough, they had beaten us easily earlier this year but today we showed how much heart these Aggies have.
"We split the singles with a great team today. The doubles were close and we were actually serving for the match at No. 1 singles when the point was decided. It was a great finish to the year for NM State and our two seniors."

Gentle Souls Break-My-Heart Gladiator Sandals 96 96
Happy Feet I often have trouble with flat sandals because after a little while my legs start to ache. Not so with these, they were very comfortable and I love the look of them. May 18, 2015
Great Sandals I love these sandals, not only are they attractive, they are amazingly comfortable. I usually wear a size 9, in sandals I go down to an 8 1/2 which I did this time. I feel they are a tiny bit small but did not return and get a size 9 because I was concerned that they would be too wide. These fit just fine. I don't think you will be disappointed if you order these sandals. April 25, 2015
Beautiful and Comfortable! I love these sandals! The deerskin lining is so soft and the footbed is extremely cushy and comfortable. Fit is true to size for me. I got the bronze, which is a true neutral but not boring. Sometimes I have trouble with strappy sandals when my little toe gets caught outside the straps, but not with these- the straps are thoughtfully designed to avoid that problem. I will have these well made sandals for years and wear them often. I was able to get them at 20% off, so that was an added bonus. April 9, 2015
