Ugandan Government Follows "Rolling Stone" Script for Gay Panic Defense in David Kato's Murder
Jim Burroway
February 9th, 2011
Uganda's Media Centre, which acts as the official press office of the Ugandan government, has issued an official statement on its "investigation" of the motives behind LGBT Advocate David Kato's murder. The details from the statement match very closely a conspiracy theory posted by the managing editor of a Ugandan tabloid which conducted a "Hang Them!" campaign last October featuring Kato's picture on the front cover.
According to the official statement, Enock Nsubuga purportedly confessed to murdering Kato because Kato refused to pay Nsubuga for sex. The Police Inspector General, Maj. Gen. Kale Kayihura says their "investigation" presents "no indications that the deceased' campaign against Homosexuality Bill, that is before Parliament was a contributing factor to his death. The police has not received any information pointing to a hate crime apart from speculation from the public." He also warned against public vigilante campaigns in Ugandan media and denounced the recent "Hang them!" campaign waged by the tabloid Rolling Stone (no relation to the U.S. publication by the same name) that was waged last fall. He also cautioned against inflammatory statements by clergy.
Kayihura's statement indicates that Nsubuga was arrested on February 2, which is nearly a full week after Rolling Stone managing editor Giles Muhame posted a nearly identical conspiracy theory surrounding Kato's death on Facebook. Muhame named "Eden" Nsubuga as the "DESPERATE prisoner whom (Kato) attempted to force into a cruel sex bang." Muhame also alledged that "the embassies have been giving Kato dollars which he has been flashing around to seduce young boys" and that "it's estimated he sodomized about 300 boys in his regime as ;king of sodomy honchos' in the country."
Ugandan officials came up with their similar explanation for Kato's murder — which just happens to match Muhame's outrageous theories — before they even brought Nsubuga in for questioning, which raises several red flags as to the integrity of the police investigation. Corruption runs rampant in Uganda, and the police are generally reviled both for their corruption and incompetence. In 2010, Uganda was ranked at number 127 out of 178 countries by Transparency International, a ranking that placed Uganda below Egypt, Kazakhstan and Mexico.
Last October, Kato's face was emblazoned on the front page of the Ugandan Tabloid Rolling Stone. The story on the inside pages featured the headline, "Hang them: They Are After Our Kids!" David Kato, who was a spokesperson for Sexual Minorities Uganda (SMUG), was one of the plaintiffs (or applicants) in the successful lawsuit seeking a permanent injunction against the Rolling Stone, preventing the further revelations of names, employers and residences of private LGBT people in Uganda.
It is unclear who provided the funds for Rolling Stone to publish. The 24-page publication contained almost no advertising. In the November 1, edition, Managing editor Giles Muhame taunted in an editorial, "I wish you knew who is behind us!! You would stop barking." There are several indications that anti-gay pastor Martin Ssempa is, at the very least, behind several of the stories published in the paper. Muhame and advertising manager Cliff Abenaitwe both attend Ssempa's Makerere Community Church.
Official endorsement of Muhame's conspiracy theory neatly solves several problems for the Ugandan government. First, it gives them an explanation that allows them to defend the country against charges of endorsing violent homophobia against its LGBT citizens. It is also an explanation that allows Nsubuga to walk free whether he is innocent or guilty. If Nsubuga really is guilty, then the police have pre-manufactured a defense for him which, in Uganda's courts, is not only a virtual guarantee that he will walk away free, but he will be deemed a hero. And worse, if Nsubuga is actually innocent, his role as scapegoat for Kato's murder will leave him relatively unscathed: he will still walk free and so will the real killer. Everybody's off the hook, and everyone wins. Except justice.

Out of Commission
Why the government may lose the Guantanamo trials, even if it wins.
On Monday, the U.S. military announced it had charged Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and five co-conspirators with murder and other crimes in connection with the 9/11 attacks. It further announced that the defendants would be tried by a military commission at the Guantanamo Bay naval base, rather than a regular civilian court, and that they would be eligible for the death penalty. The defendants have committed horrific crimes and will almost certainly lose at trial. Unfortunately, the military commissions will themselves be on trial as much as the al-Qaida six. And in this trial, the United States runs a serious risk of losing, even if it wins.
It is hard to exaggerate the difficulties the government faces in these trials. President Bush authorized military commissions more than six years ago, but the trials themselves have been delayed by objections from military lawyers and civilian critics, and by time-consuming legal challenges that often raise more questions than they answer. In 2006, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that commissions violated the statute governing the military system of justice—leading Congress to enact new statutory authorities several months later. The new statute was widely criticized, and the Supreme Court will decide some of these complaints later this year. The court may invalidate parts of the new law governing habeas corpus review, but even if it upholds the law, defendants will raise countless new legal challenges to the nature of the crimes available in the commission and to the rules of procedure. We can be sure of nothing except that the trial (or not-yet-trial) of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and his co-defendants will be in the news for many years to come.
Even if the military commission survives further judicial review, these defendants will seek to undermine the court politically. They will make an issue of how they were treated, and will invariably allege torture. They will paint the commission as a kangaroo court, pointing to its relatively loose rules of evidence, the absence of a civilian jury, and restrictions on their ability to examine classified evidence used against them. They will use the trial as a platform to rage against America, just as Zacarias Moussaoui, Saddam Hussein, and Slobodan Milosevic did in recent years.
Because the government has chosen not to try these cases in a regular civilian court, these defense tactics will be hard to fend off. And if the judges clamp down and limit the defendants' ability to make speeches or introduce considerations beyond guilt or innocence, many observers will tend to infer that the case against the defendants is weak and the process unfair. But if the judges give the defendants free rein, they will drone on and on, not only to try to harm the United States, but also to assure themselves of a place in history and to delay their inevitable executions, like Scheherazade in One Thousand and One Nights. Milosevic provides the nonfictional model. His trial expired only with Milosevic himself, seven years after his indictment, and long before its anticipated conclusion.
Prosecutors and judges can avoid some of the worst of these outcomes by keeping firmly in mind the purpose of the trials. This is not so much to establish guilt—we suspect guilt will be easy to prove. The real object will be to tell the world—especially wavering supporters of al-Qaida in the Muslim world, where conspiracy stories about 9/11 continue to hold sway—a credible story about the defendants' involvement in the massacre of thousands of innocent people.
But the government can tell this story credibly only if it bends over backward to make the trials appear fair. So, for instance, regardless of what the military commission rules permit, prosecutors should build their case as much as possible around evidence that could openly be admitted in a civilian trial. And the judges should probably risk speechifying by the defendants rather than attempting to silence them. In the end, neither Saddam Hussein nor Zacarias Moussaoui earned new admirers on account of their courtroom antics, though Milosevic was more successful.

They say if you want anything done right, you have to do it yourself. But I'm not sure that's the best plan when it comes to safety at sea for mariners and fishermen.
And yet, based on what we've been seeing, that seems like the plan the federal government is keen to have when it comes to providing protection for people on the water — and now it's been pointed out officially by the Auditor General.
Michael Ferguson's report highlighted (or low-lighted, depending on how you look at it) out of date and unavailable aircraft, a lack of staff, a dicey partnership between Coast Guard and the military, different levels of search and rescue service depending on the hour — it's all in there.
The end result of all that is people working on the water do not have the protection and level of safety they require and deserve. In fact, most fishermen will tell you they put more faith in their fellow harvesters to come help them in times of trouble as opposed to the official authorities.
And that's not the fault of the people on the ground, at sea and in the air who are directly providing the service. It's the fault of nincompoops pulling the purse strings in Ottawa, where it seems stuff only matters these days if it happens in Ontario or Alberta.
People's lives have been compromised in the name of bureaucratic "cheques and balances."
Disgusting. Revolting. Immoral. Call it anything you want.
I'll call it hypocritical.
See, safety at sea is a two-headed monster: it's about prevention and reaction. You have to work hard to prevent things from happening, and then, when they do, you have to be ready to properly and swiftly react.
On the prevention side, it wasn't all that long ago that the federal government, through the Transportation Safety Board (TSB), was wagging a condescending finger at the marine industries, insisting there was a serious "lack of safety culture."
What happened? The industry responded. People and groups put their heads together and started grinding the safety agenda into the industry's psyche and forcing people to think safety first wherever possible (the professionalization of the fishing industry in NL in recent years has helped considerably as well).
The result of that effort is that we are seeing serious declines in accidents and injuries at sea.
In Newfoundland and Labrador in 2012 there were 19 at-sea accidents, down considerably from the 37 that occurred in 2011 and way down from the average of 51 in the five years previous to that. For the record, that's a more than 60 per cent reduction over the past five years.
Fishing vessel accidents/incidents in particular were cut in half, down to 18 last year from the 37 averaged since 2007.
The numbers show the industry is doing its job on prevention.
And now it's time the federal government stepped up to the plate to do the same on the reaction. It's time to write the cheques to make sure search and rescue has the staffing, equipment and system to ensure proper safety for mariners.
Oh, and just so you know, dear federal government, there's no need to waste any time playing politics about it or blowing smoke up our arses.
You have work to do and lives are at stake.
Get it done. Now.

A place where kids can breath easier
Photo courtesy of the American Lung Association
Kids with asthma can act like regular kids when they go to summer camp.
Many people believe children with asthma should avoid exercise, but nothing could be further than the truth.
"Asthmatic children need lots of physical activity," says Dr. Bill Stratbucker, a Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke's Medical Center pediatrician. "And since asthma is a chronic illness, it's important for children to assume more responsibility for their own care as they grow."
That's why asthma camps sponsored by the American Lung Association have sprung up throughout the country. Asthma camps combine the everyday pleasures of camp with the close supervision of medical personnel.
"Kids can learn more about their illness and meet other children with asthma, all while having a great time," says Stratbucker. "About the only typical camp activity campers don't do is horseback riding for fear of the horses triggering an asthma attack."
Children receive daily medical education, and respiratory therapists check peak flow meters regularly, even bunking down in the kids' cabins. A board-certified pediatrician is always on the premises, and a hospital is nearby.
Children who live in Chicago or suburban Cook County can attend Camp ACTION, an overnight asthma camp sponsored every summer for children ages 9 to 12. Camp ACTION is operated by the American Lung Association of Metropolitan Chicago in conjunction with a YMCA camp just outside Milwaukee. "Preference is given to children who require daily asthma medication year-round and are referred by their doctor," says Stratbucker, the camp's medical director. This year's session will be Aug. 3-9, with a July registration deadline.
Two day camps are available for residents of Maywood and the Pilsen and Little Village neighborhoods in Chicago.
The Maywood session, held in conjunction with Loyola University Medical Center, are June 23-27. The Pilsen and Little Village session is July 14-18. For 2004, asthmatic children ages 8-12 who reside outside Cook County may be eligible to attend Camp Superkids, an overnight camp sponsored by the American Lung Association of Illinois-Iowa. Registration deadline is May 1, 2004.
Visit www.asthmacamps.org for more information or, inside Cook County, call (312) 628-0228. Other Illinois residents can call (800) 586-4872.

Verdict on caretaker government biased, unacceptable: Khaleda Zia
Terming the Supreme Court verdict over the caretaker government system 'biased' and 'unacceptable', BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia on Thursday reiterated that the next general election must be held under a non-partisan caretaker government.
"If the government doesn't restore the caretaker government system, there'll be no election. The biased Supreme Court verdict on the caretaker government system can't stop our movement," she said.
The opposition leader was addressing a press conference at her Gulshan office to brief the media about the BNP-led 18-party alliance's views on the full text of the verdict, released on Sunday.
She claimed that the Supreme Court verdict on the constitution's 13th amendment pronounced by former Chief Justice Khairul Haque on May 10 has been "distorted" in its full text.
Khaleda said the vivid difference between the full text and short verdict is unprecedented. "We strongly condemn such behaviour of the former chief justice. It's a serious judicial misconduct. There's political ill-motive behind it."
Khaleda said such a bad example has not only undermined the judiciary but also the people of the whole country.
She said the direction in the verdict about an interim government for holding the election under a small cabinet is the reflection of the Prime Minister's speech. The verdict was delivered as per the Prime Minister's advice.
Khaleda warned that the verdict may lead the country towards instability.
"People won't accept the politically motivated, illogical and self-contradictory verdict and won't participate in any election to be arranged in light of the verdict.
There's no alternative to a non-party caretaker government to protect the people's right to franchise. Pro-democratic people won't participate in any election under any partisan government," she asserted.

SANTEE A tipster helped sheriff's investigators in Santee corral the man suspected in a series of ATM customer robberies, authorities said Thursday.
A woman called sheriff's officials Wednesday after seeing a media release with photos of the suspect on the Sheriff's Department Facebook page.
She told deputies that about three weeks ago, a man contacted her in the parking lot of Jimmy's Restaurant on Mission Gorge Road in Santee. He gave her his name and phone number and said he could repair body damage on her car, sheriff's Sgt. Scott Enyeart said.
The woman thought the man, George Adams, looked like a suspect sought for three robberies at ATMs in Santee and Rancho San Diego, Enyeart said. With her help, deputies arranged to meet Adams in the Jimmy's lot. Enyeart said when Adams drove up and got out of his car, investigators arrested him at 4:50 p.m.
Inside his white four-door was a pellet handgun, as well as a ball cap and an orange sweatshirt that appeared to be ones worn in at least one holdup, Enyeart said. The 23-year-old was booked on three counts of robbery.
"One tip and one arrest — it worked out perfectly for us," Enyeart said.
Sheriff's officials did not announce the Wednesday arrest until Thursday.
Enyeart said he expects that his department will officially recognize the tipster for her help in the case.

Since returning to power as Russia's president three months ago, Vladimir Putin has lived up to his well-honed reputation as the hard, no-nonsense man of East European politics by bullying his way into the internal affairs of neighbors with fearless abandon.
He has served notice that Moscow will challenge the West's naval dominance of the world's oceans, moving to shore-up his country's defenses from the Arctic Circle and its Western flank to its troubled southern borders, breakaway republics and even the South Pacific.

Breast Feeding on Sesame StreetLauren Hartmann
Before I took a breast feeding class during my 8th month of pregnancy I had never actually seen a woman breast feed. Yes, I'd seen women on rare occasion breast feeding in a corner under a nursing cover, but had never actually seen how it worked. I honestly feel like my lack of exposure to breast feeding greatly contributed to my difficulties with nursing.
I'd love to see breast feeding become more mainstream – just a part of every day life – and something that women don't feel embarrassed about. I think that the first step is to normalize breast feeding from childhood. This is where Sesame Street comes in.
Breast feeding used to be the norm on Sesame Street, but has since been replaced by bottle fed babies and many moms feel this needs to change in order to promote breast feeding.
Find out more and see the vintage Sesame Street video after the jump.
Here's a video of Buffy nursing Cody circa 1977:
Tasteful and informative, no? These are the kind of TV segments I'd like my daughter to see when she gets older and if you agree, head on over and sign the petition to bring breastfeeding back to Sesame Street.
What's your take?
Should breast feeding have a place on a children's show like Sesame Street? Weigh in!

The recent NBC/Wall Street Journal poll on the national mood was sobering. The word respondents most frequently used to characterize the current state of American society was "divided," coming in at 37 percent.
We are, then — unless pursuing a hermit's lifestyle — inevitably put in frequent, if not constant contact, with those with whom we sharply disagree on fairly large matters. I certainly am. The daily parade of interactions in my life is with many a professional associate and even friend or kin with whom I am not at all on the same page.
In some cases the chasm between us is coincident with a personality whose scant appeal for me keeps contact to the level of what's necessary. For that matter, there is a fairly sizable group of people with whom I am in near-total ideological sync but whose company I'm not inclined to seek out.
But what of those whom I have come to find charming companions, and even friends, to the extent of trusting them with knowledge of my personal life? There are many such people in my life, and I'm increasingly curious as to what makes comity and even deep regard between us possible.
I think respect for their intellect is a must. Even if a person comes to a conclusion I'm convinced is utterly wrong, if real rigor was applied to arriving at it, I'm impressed enough to keep engaging in conversations with them.
A related trait is a willingness to really listen. People who value clarity are careful not to misunderstand any aspect of an argument. When an exchange gets heated, this is often the trait that can ratchet the intensity back down.
Part of my admiration for this willingness is that it demonstrates how important it is to the other person to go on the record as having been unfailingly civil. It's an insistence on being credible. It's of great importance to me, and I'm naturally inclined to like someone to whom it's likewise a priority.
Seeing that a person has chops in his or her chosen field goes a long way toward making friendship possible in such cases. Knowing that someone has invested the time and effort to amass a particular skill set or body of knowledge just compels me to accord him respect.
I've even experienced situations in which the mutually acknowledged divide between our world views deepened friendships. A while back, I was contacted by someone who wanted to get together for a Saturday breakfast because, as he said, "I can't think of anyone else I regard as a friend with whom I disagree so completely on pretty much everything."
We had a wide-ranging exchange over hash browns and bacon and even discovered some surprising points of concurrence. We gave some thought to making it a regular event but life, as it is wont to do, made for scheduling complications we have yet to surmount.
Another such friend requested a lunch appointment on the basis of a facial expression with which I'd responded to a remark she'd made. Again, it was a fruitful encounter and, again, there would probably be merit in another such bread-breaking session.
Getting a grasp on the art of incorporating divergent outlooks into friendships is especially important in a community such as ours. The nature of civic life here necessitates that you actually get to know people.
It's not impersonal here; quite the contrary. We can't walk around a gasoline can holding lit matches.
It starts with a basic agreement to stay away from ad hominem attacks. It requires an openness to possibility.

Two residents of a residential care facility have been located and are safe after they reportedly walked off the property Wednesday afternoon.
The women left The Senior Home on North Prospect in Colorado Springs at 3:30 p.m. Wednesday to go to McDonalds. When they didn't come back, police were called.
Both women are considered at-risk adults: Jana Smith, 36, has suffered two strokes in the last two weeks, while Annette Varnum, 42, is bipolar and has the mentality of a 13-year-old. Varnum does have a history of leaving the facility and not coming back as she should.
Police announced Thursday that the women were found. They did not provide any further information on where they were located or why they were gone so long.

Cliff Lee only allowed three hits -- and connected for two hits of his own -- on his way to a complete game in the Phillies' 3-0 win over Miami (see Instant Replay).
Also, Chase Utley admitted to being frightened when he felt pain in his right rib cage during batting practice Tuesday (see story).
Now, let's take a look at some of Wednesday's MLB action:
Gattis' slam powers Braves past Twins
ATLANTA -- Evan Gattis kept up an amazing rookie season with his first grand slam, B.J. Upton and Ramiro Pena also homered, and the Atlanta Braves finished off a sweep of the woeful Minnesota Twins 8-3 Wednesday.
The Braves stretched their winning streak to six games and made things easy for Paul Maholm (6-4), who allowed an unearned run in 7 1-3 innings.
Gattis struck less than 24 hours after his two-out, pinch-homer in the ninth allowed the Braves to pull out a 5-4 win over the Twins in extra innings. Swinging on a 3-0 pitch with the bases loaded in the fourth, he launched an opposite-field drive just inside the right-field pole.
Vance Worley (1-5) gave up eight runs in 3 2-3 innings in the Twins' eighth straight loss (see full recap).
-The Associated Press
Desmond lifts Nationals over Giants in 10 innings
SAN FRANCISCO -- Ian Desmond singled in Bryce Harper in the 10th inning, and the Washington Nationals beat the San Francisco Giants 2-1 on Wednesday to avoid a three-game series sweep.
Harper sparked the winning rally with a one-out double. Ryan Zimmerman was walked intentionally before Desmond came up with his big hit against Jeremy Affeldt (1-1).
Tyler Clippard (3-1) pitched a perfect 10th for the win and Rafael Soriano got three outs for his 14th save. He failed to convert each of his last two chances, including Tuesday night's 4-2 loss.
Buster Posey hit a tying RBI single for San Francisco in the eighth (see full recap).
-The Associated Press
Strange double gives Reds win over Mets
NEW YORK -- Brandon Phillips bounced a bizarre double over first base to snap a ninth-inning tie, and the Cincinnati Reds completed a three-game sweep of the struggling New York Mets with a 7-4 victory Wednesday.
Joey Votto homered and Zack Cozart had a career-high four hits, all off Matt Harvey, in a game that featured a little bit of everything -- including a testy exchange in the dugout between Cincinnati starter Mat Latos and teammate Jay Bruce.
Still, the Reds regrouped and won for the 10th time in 12 games. They finished a 7-2 trip against the bottom three teams in the NL East, moving a season-best 11 games over .500 at 29-18.
Harvey appeared headed for his first defeat of the season before the Mets rallied in the seventh. But they fell to 2-11 in their last 13 home games (see full recap).
-The Associated Press
Liriano dominates as Pirates edge Cubs
PITTSBURGH -- Francisco Liriano continued his torrid start, scattering two hits over seven innings and the Pittsburgh Pirates edged the Chicago Cubs 1-0 on Wednesday night.
Liriano (3-0) struck out nine and walked just one to remain unbeaten since making his season debut against the New York Mets two weeks ago. Mark Melancon survived a bumpy ninth inning for his first save of the season.
Andrew McCutchen doubled twice for the Pirates and scored the game's only run on an RBI single by Garrett Jones in the first. Pittsburgh has won 10 of 12 to move 10 games over .500 (28-18).
Chicago's Jeff Samardzija (2-6) nearly matched Liriano pitch for pitch, giving up just three hits in seven innings, but received no help. The Cubs have dropped four of five (see full recap).
-The Associated Press
Orioles hit three homers in win over Yankees
BALTIMORE -- Chris Davis went 4 for 4, including his AL-leading 14th homer, and the Baltimore Orioles got a three-run shot from Matt Wieters in a 6-3 victory over the New York Yankees on Wednesday night.
Nick Markakis added a solo home run for the Orioles, who took two of three from New York to pull within three games of the first-place Yankees in the AL East.
Curtis Granderson homered, doubled and singled for New York. Needing a triple to reach the cycle, he drew a walk in the seventh inning.
David Adams hit a ninth-inning homer for the Yankees, his second in three games. The teams combined for 13 home runs in the series, including five in the finale.
Yankees starter Hiroki Kuroda left in the third with a bruised right calf, one inning after he was struck in the leg by a line drive off the bat of Manny Machado. Kuroda (6-3) allowed five runs and eight hits in two-plus innings (see full recap).

St. Louis, MO-- Pinch hitter Tyler Moore blooped a two-out, two-run single in the eighth inning and the Washington Nationals won in their postseason debut, beating the defending World Series champion St. Louis Cardinals in 3-2 Sunday in an NL playoff opener.
The Nationals overcame a wild start by 21-game winner Gio Gonzalez, then watched their bullpen shut down St. Louis in the late innings. Ahead 2-1 in the seventh, the Cardinals didn't score after loading the bases with no outs.
The NL East champion Nationals led the majors with 98 wins this season, and go for a 2-0 series lead Monday when Jordan Zimmermann opposes Jaime Garcia.
The Cardinals made it to the best-of-five division series by beating Atlanta in the wild-card matchup Friday.

2 and a half year old reverting back to diapers?
A couple months ago I started potty training my daughter, she was 31 months old, and she loved it, she told me everytime she had to go, some accidents but got better the more she went, rarely had accidents, her diaper stayed dry even overnight. Then 2 months ago, we moved, even on the 2 day car ride here, her diaper stayed dry. But she reverted back to going in her pull ups, it's not as easy now as it was before to potty train her. She refuses to go on the toilet, I bring her in the bathroom in the morning and she tells me she doesn't want to go, or her diaper will be wet already. I've tried giving her rewards, I tried putting underwear on her and when she wets them, she knows she did but it doesn't phase her. It's like she completely lost interest and it's really frustrating to me. I feel embarrassed because my family where we are now ask me why she's still in pull ups and not trained. Should I just leave her alone and wait for her?

Try redecorating the bathroom with things she likes and let her help pick them out. You can hand make a lot pretty easily with all kinds of paper, I find scrap booking works well...pictures in frames of things she likes, etc. Sometimes just the input of something her own going into a world that's entirely new to her can do wonders. Have fun with it you can get just as much out of it as she does and it's an adventure your having together.posted 05/31/2011 by TheUntamed
just be patient, she might just be to busy getting comfortable with her new surroundings. give it time and keep working at it. remember positive reinforcement is always better than negative reinforcement. good luck!posted 05/26/2011 by mammasfirst
Most children go through a diaper relapse. She will start going again, she just needs to adjust to her new environment. Don't get mad and try to stay calm. When she DOES use the potty, give her all the praise the world has to offer. She will get back there eventually.posted 06/05/2011 by Rach666
Buy some new books or toys, that stay in the bathroom. She is only allowed to use them while on the toilet. Then, look for signs that she has to go (or just give her a glass of water, and take her to the bathroom soon after she's done). Take her into the bathroom to "play" or read on the toilet and try to keep her there as long as possible, until she goes. Then, like others are saying, praise the heck out of it when she does go. I would completely ignore accidents if she seems to be doing it on purpose.posted 06/06/2011 by Hawaii Mommy Alana
With my daughter we are using the naked method. Sure it's messy and you can't go any where for the first couple of days, but it's worked for me. We took her to the wash room every hr and sang 2 songs worth on the toilet. (itsty bitsy spider worked the best) We are on week 2 and she is in her undies and going to the washroom by herself. Calling me when she needs to be wiped or to pump soap in her hand. It takes time. Yes there will be accidents, but your children will get it. She's going to be 3 in August and she still wears diapers to bed. I got rid of the pull ups because they felt too much like diapers, and she peed in undies too...that's why being naked helped. Good luck :)posted 05/25/2011 by Cassandra&alecia
My daughter reverted back for awhile when she was really sick with the flu last year, I had her in pull ups for a couple days because she was in bed most of the time...after that, it was almost like starting all over again. When I started my son, he did great at first because it was new & exciting but after a couple weeks he didn't want to do it anymore. I think with him thought it was because my mother was watching him while I worked and she didn't follow through with it, which was realllly irritating. Eventually though, they both got it. I weened both of mine into it. I did pull ups at first during the day, then undies during the day, & pull-ups or a diaper at night for a while. Night time training for me was the hardest. I think it can't be forced though. Get them excited about it, & they will do it when they are good & ready.posted 05/26/2011 by mego6585
My daughter was pretty much the same way, it was very off and on. As soon as I thought she was potty trained, she would start having accidents again. All I can say is I never put diapers on her, kept many cans of carpet cleaner on hand and eventually she got there. I had to put a pull up on her whenever we went over people's houses, which was rare, and I felt like that was a cause of backtracking, but there's nothing you can do. She will get there.posted 07/16/2011 by vmpgrl02
I'm having the same problem with my toddler, but we haven't moved, or done any HUGE life-changing things to cause it. She DID get a new brother in December, but that was pre-potty training anyway. Maybe both of our kids are just experiencing a bit too much stress in their world and this is their way of "taking control" of something in their life? If any of you mom's out there have dealt with this, please share your wisdom!posted 05/25/2011 by AJeppson

Blythe's status depends on recovering from an undisclosed virus.
"He was with our team at Kansas State, which means he was not contagious," McCarney said. "I don't think there's any kissing or hugging going on (among players); doctors said it was fine for him to be with us as long as he's not sharing water bottles.
"My wife made him some chicken noodle soup. Hopefully that's the magic potion."
Receiver Austin Flynn and Blythe are roommates.
"We have a little deal where we drink coffee the night before games," Flynn said. "I told him last week that you're not making my coffee today."
First, better be careful with that chicken noodle soup for players. Witosky catches wind of it and there will be a nasty story in the Register - begging the NCAA to investigate.
The main reason for this post...
For the longest time, I knew Blythe and Meyer were roommates. Now it's stated that Blythe and Flynn are. Is this a misprint? Did they change? If so, anything behind it?
They are all 3 roomates, with Jon Davis I believe as well. There was a story earlier in the season about it in the register.
Thanks for clearing that up.
Blythe and Flynn have been roommates all year. Remember the article about Flynn's girlfriend (Texans Cheerleader)? Blythe made all those remarks about being Flynn's roommate so he could see here when she visits.

Rare zero percent undergrad tuition increase and 100 percent meet-need policy makes a quality Sage education affordable for all students
Albany & Troy, NY - The Sage Colleges are tackling the myth of unaffordability head-on. While the widely-held assumption is that a private education costs more than a state school, Sage shows how the actual bottom-line cost of a Sage education is less than a SUNY education for most of its students.
Sage - which includes Russell Sage College for women in Troy and the coeducational Sage College of Albany - is committed to making a quality private education affordable in this economic climate. The bold decision not to raise undergraduate tuition this year and the promise to incoming undergraduates not to raise their tuition for four years are strong statements that Sage wants to weather this economic downturn together with its students and families.
Sage also has a unique approach to financial aid packaging, meeting 100 percent of students financial need. Need is defined as the difference between the Estimated Family Contribution (EFC) and the Cost of Attendance (COA), which includes tuition, room and board costs, and education-related expenses such as books, travel, and administrative fees. So students only pay what they can afford.
Financial aid packages may include a combination of federal money (Pell Grant) state aid (New York States Tuition Assistance Program, or TAP), federally-subsidized Perkins and Stafford loans, federal work-study earnings, and grants offered by the college, as well as an merit-based scholarships the student may qualify for.
Students and families can learn all about the ins and outs of cost, aid, and affording a Sage education with a personal, one-on-one consultation through the Sage Sense program.

Hey guys I finally got a membership to a gym with lots of free weights.
Anyways I'm starting the 30 day bench press program because it sent my old 1RM through the roof the last time I did it and I completely understand it but I don't want to stay out of the gym on Tuesday and Thursday I like to stay in the gym so I don't know if I should work on my lower body on off days or would it hurt my bench progress?
Maybe just do cardio and light legs on Tuesday and Thursday?

Acer supports ban of BFRs and PVC in RoHS revision
In the position paper, sent to Members of the European Parliament in the Environment Committee yesterday, Acer states:
"Without having mandatory bans on the use of organo-Cl/Br-substances, which is envisioned in the revised RoHS Directive proposal, the introduction of PVC/BFRs-free products will be delayed in the market."
Acer has been striving to reach the target of prohibiting the use of PVC (polyvinyl chloride), BFRs (brominated flame retardants) and phthalates in all products since 2005.
"Acer has acknowledged the negative impact of PVC/BFRs in the end of life phase of electronic products and is trying to phase out the use of these chemicals and materials in a cost-efficient manner. Although technologies were ready for a total phasing in of PVC/BFRs-free models in 2009, most key component suppliers delayed as the market and the other major brand companies extended their schedule for phasing in PVC/BFR-free products. This market trend has interrupted Acer's commitments to phase in PVC/BFRs-free products. Acer is still trying to increase PVC/BFRs-free products quarter-by-quarter within business tolerance.
Acer believes that the revision of the RoHS Directive in a stricter manner is necessary, i.e., the restriction of PVC and BFRs at least for categories 3 and 4 by 2014/5. When such a regulation is expected, the supply chain and the market will move quicker toward organo-Cl/Br free materials and components."Acer's Position on Organo-Cl/Br-free and the RoHS Revision

Organizers: Terrence Sejnowski and Sydney Brenner
January 31 - February 4, 2003
Banff Centre - Banff, Alberta
Abstract Deadline: November 1, 2002
Early Registration Deadline: December 2, 2002
Time is the final frontier in biology and uncovering molecular and cellular
mechanisms in cells that keep time is essential to understanding biological
systems. Biological clocks cover a wide range of time scales, from the
heartbeat to circadian rhythms. In each of these systems, molecular mechanisms
are being uncovered that underlie these rhythms and stabilize them, but the
number of molecules and the complexity of their interactions are daunting.
There is growing interest in applying computational models to these biological
systems. This symposium brings together some of the leading computational model
builders and key researchers studying the circadian clock, photoperiodism in
plants, the cell cycle in yeast, cardiac rhythms, brain rhythms that occur
during sleep and firefly synchronization. The mathematical principles that
emerge from the models highlight deep similarities that exist between these
diverse systems, and allow a broader understanding to emerge for how biological
systems organize time in robust and effective ways.

Fort Bliss firefighters, DES assets to return from Huachuca Monument wildfire effort
June 29, 2011
FORT HUACHUCA, Ariz. -- "I appreciate you guys saddling up at Fort Bliss. We fight wars wherever our nation needs us and sometimes it's right in our own backyards," said Col. Timothy Faulkner, Fort Huachuca's garrison commander, to Fort Bliss firefighters as he thanked them for their support and augmentation efforts at the Arizona post in response to the Monument wildfire, June 27.
The Team Bliss firefighters, who were joined by military police Soldiers from 3rd Platoon, 978th Military Police Company, 93rd MP Battalion, traveled to Huachuca to augment Department of Defense firefighters and MP Corps Soldiers there as they continued wildfire operations, as they have been for almost a month. According to reports as of June 26 the fire was approximately 75 percent contained.
At the request of Huachuca and U.S. Army Installation Command, once it was decided locally at Bliss that a proposed manpower share wouldn't put Bliss at any heightened risk, firefighters and a 25-ton fire truck headed west and was joined by emergency responders from other posts such as Fort Carson, Colo., and Fort Hood, Texas. Bliss Fire Department Capt. Daniel Morales, a supervisory firefighter and one of four firefighters from Bliss, said while they came to reinforce cantonment fire and emergency operations, they were prepared to help take a more active role in defending the post from the wildfire if needed be.
"We got the call Wednesday morning and of course accepted," said Morales. "Our primary task was to support operations here on their main post, but we did come prepared with our wild land gear in case they needed us to help them with contingencies."
The 17-year veteran firefighter said post activity was "relatively quiet" during their augmentation, but the nearby canyons showed a different story.
"When you see devastation on a map, it's hard to get a grasp," he said. "We had the privilege to get up in the [extinguished] areas and there were miles and miles of burned trees and homes burned to the ground."
He added that he felt anything less than the professional response provided by the approximately 1,500 firefighters who continue to fight in the Huachuca Mountains could have meant a lot more destruction for the region.
"I tip my hat to the forestry service, the Bureau of Land Management, and the surrounding departments are doing a phenomenal job," he said. "With everything that's been lost, there's also a lot that's been saved and for this many people to do so much was beyond belief."
Huachuca Fire Capt. Daniel Manning said not only did he appreciate seeing fellow firefighters from Bliss and other installations, but also respected the work ethic they showed in support of defending his post from danger.
"All firefighters are part of a brotherhood and the brotherhood and loyalty they felt was obvious," he said. "Crew cohesion happened soon after everyone arrived; it was like they worked here. They were willing to do whatever they needed to in order to help out."
He added that as big as DoD firefighting circles may be in terms of numbers, they're not that big in consideration of the type of people who serve within those circles.
"Even though we all have our separate departments, in the DoD there's a sense of unity and a lot of love," he said.
Just as appreciative as Manning, Sgt. Maj. Robert Parker, Bliss Directorate of Emergency Service's sergeant major, said he was proud to be affiliated with the firefighters and MPs who brought the Huachuca community added confidence in uncertain times, and said the effort was an example of the strength of our military and those dedicated to support it.
"Whether you're or a Soldier, or a civilian employed by the government, you devote your life to public service," he said. "In that spirit you're willing to give at a moment's notice and if it requires travel to an installation, or even a county, that's not organic to your organization then that's what you do. You do it selflessly, 365 days a year for as long as you choose to serve and that speaks volumes about the type of people we have in this profession.
"My hat goes off to each and every one of them. I'm proud to serve with all of them."

Cook's Group Page
Recent Publications
Professor Cook's group is working in several related fields including Natural Products, Medicinal Chemistry, and Organic Synthesis. More specifically, he is interested in the enantiospecific synthesis of natural products with biological activity and the construction of related heterocycles with enhanced activity. Research of this type has led him into the indole, benzylisoquinoline, and isoquinoline alkaloid areas, as well as the chemistry of the important alkaloids quinine, quinidine and reserpine. His group is also currently involved in the study of ligand-receptor interactions at the molecular level.
Over seventy macroline/sarpagine/ajmaline related alkaloids have been isolated from species of Alstonia. A stereospecific Pictet Spengler reaction developed at Milwaukee has been employed to execute an enantiospecific total synthesis of many of these indole alkaloids (see Figure 1 and Figure 2). Some of these bisindoles exhibit antimalarial activity against Plasmodia falciparum malaria. In addition, the total synthesis (see Figures 3 and 4) of the antileishmanial bisindoles accedinisine and N'-demethylaccedinisine have been completed as well as that of the antihypertensive bisindole, dispegatrine.

and enantiospecific fashion from L-valine.

Figure 4. Total synthesis of accedinisine
and N'-demethylaccedinisine.
The approach is both stereospecific and doubly convergent. The preparation of the antimalarial sarpagine related bisindoles villalstonine and alstonisidine, is also underway.
A general approach for the synthesis of polyquinenes via the Weiss reaction continues in his laboratory. The construction of the [126.96.36.199]fenestrane hexaene (Figure 5) and the related heptaene (Figure 6) are being pursued in regard to the bonding character of molecules formerly proposed to house a planar tetracoordinate carbon atom, a three-center, two electron bond at carbon. Other annulenes such as cyclopentapentalene (Figure 7) are being prepared to examine homoconjugation as well as Hückel pi stability.

Figure 7.
The synthesis of beta-carbolines, 2,7-dihydropyridodiindoles, isoquinolines, indolo-pyridoimidazoles and imidazobenzodiazepines, when combined with molecular modeling (see Figure 8), has resulted in the pharmacophores for agonist and inverse agonist activity at benzodiazepine receptors. The inverse agonists are being evaluated for cognitive enhancement, including a5 subtype selective ligands for treatment of Alzheimer's disease. The agonists at BzR, especially subtype selective α2/α3 agonists, are being evaluated for anxiolytic and anticonvulsant activity, as well as activity against neuropathic pain. Lead compounds in this series are devoid of the muscle relaxant, ataxic, and amnesic effects of Valium. The aim is to provide new drugs with anxiolytic, anticonvulsant and analegsic activity which are devoid of the deleterious side effects of the classical benzodiazepines including abuse potential. This will result in more selective agents to treat a number of CNS disorders.

In regard to drug development earlier, XHe-II-053, our nonsedating GABA α2/α3 agonist was put in Phase I studies in humans for anxiety disorders. The backup compound HZ 166 is currently being licensed to Addiction Therapeutix Inc. to treat neuropathic pain. A related a5 subtype selective inverse agonist enhances cognition in both rats and primates and is the target of a joint SBIR grant recently funded with Physiogenix. In regard to treatment of schizophrenia, a GABAergic α5 subtype selective GABA(A) agonist from the anxiety disorders program looks effective in some models of schizophrenia, while a joint SBIR grant and NIDA grant with Promentis/Marquette/UWM targets a different treatment strategy for schizophrenia (these agents were licensed to Promentis). An antialcohol compound was recently licensed to Addiction Therapeutix Inc.and a number of agents active against drug resistant bacteria, including MRSA, TB and anthrax have been licensed to Macrophyte Inc of Lacrosse (with Dr. Monte and Dr. Schwan).
In a related area of indole chemistry, ligands have been developed that competitively inhibit the enzyme, indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase. This enzyme is induced to high levels during the immune response and seriously alters the metabolism of tryptophan in inflammatory diseases. This results in increased biosynthesis of kynurenic acid and quinolinic acid followed by cell death. This condition has been implicated in over twenty inflammatory diseases, including acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), hepatic encephalopathy and polio virus. The inhibitors of this enzyme are designed to reverse the aberrant metabolism of tryptophan in the CNS and return levels of quinolinic acid, etc. to normal.

It was indicative of the mood within Old Trafford at the weekend that the aerial protest summoned boos from many of the Manchester United faithful.
It is admirable that many Manchester United fans are staying loyal to their embattled manager. But blind faith can be the catalyst for the crumbling of empires and the cynical Manchester United fans have solid reasons for their concern.
And the newish Manchester United manager's selection policy is chief amongst those concerns. Because David Moyes keeps picking players who are having stinkers.
Tom Cleverley
Either Moyes is extremely clever or extremely stupid in his continued selection of Tom Cleverley. And Manchester United's results hint strongly at the latter.
However contentious David Moyes's tactics are he should at least be picking his strongest teams by now. After a terrible season Tom Cleverley was key to Manchester United's poor showing in Greece against Olympiakos. But, instead of consigning the player to the fringes, he then selected Cleverley against Manchester City. The Result? Manchester United were completely toothless in the midfield again.
Moyes might be right about Cleverley. He may become an excellent midfielder who can have a big influence on games. But he is way short of that standard right now and Moyes must NOT pick him against Bayern if Manchester United want to have any chance of overcoming the fearsome Germans.
Ashley Young
Moyes seems to be fooled into thinking that Young is a high calibre player, based on the odd decent performance and brilliant goal against poor opposition at Old Trafford once every 3-6 months. He may be OK against average opposition with time and space on the ball. But all the evidence suggests that Young doesn't have the quality to make an impact on the biggest games. If Moyes selects Young as a winger on Tuesday prepare yourselves for yet another meek, peripheral performance, where Young simply pushes the ball back to the full back whenever he gets possession. Young couldn't beat an egg – let alone an opposition defender.
Chris Smalling
Smalling is a decent centre back. But we have learnt that he is not a player who can fill in at right back. He has the requisite pace but his footwork isn't strong enough to work in confined spaces out on the flank. If Rafa isn't fit, put Jones out there. But please, NO SMALLING AT RIGHT BACK.

McMurry University's first-year head football coach Mason Miller has announced the team's 2013 schedule for his inaugural season at War Hawks' helm.
The slate will feature no less than three NCAA Division I FCS teams, seven NCAA Division II foes (five from the Lone Star Conference) and one NAIA opponent.
McMurry will not have a bye week as a part of its 2013 schedule.
"There is no doubt that this is arguably the toughest schedule McMurry University football has seen in some time," said Miller. "We are going to have to be at the top of our game each and every week, and come ready to play.
"I believe it is in our interest moving forward to D2 that we compete against some of the high caliber teams here in the state of Texas. Likewise, we have also made a concentrated effort to have teams which are going to be very appealing to our fan base, especially when you look at the teams coming to Abilene."
With all games tentatively set for Saturdays, McM will open matters on September 7 with cross-town rival Abilene Christian University, in its first season as an NCAA Division I school, at Shotwell Stadium.
Other NCAA I competition will feature Stephen F. Austin (Sept. 14) and the University of the Incarnate Word (Nov. 2). UIW will also be in its first season as an NCAA I competitor.
The War Hawks will face the top three teams in the Lone Star Conference among the six LSC foes. McM will travel to Midwestern State University (Oct. 12) and then host West Texas A&M University on Oct. 26, the teams which were the co-champs of the 2012 Lone Star race. Both schools were NCAA II playoff teams in 2012, as well, with WTAMU reaching the semi-finals. Prior to those games, McM will have faced 2012 LSC third place finisher Texas A&M-Kingsville on the road on Sept. 21.
Other LSC games are at Texas A&M-Commerce (Oct. 19) and McMurry's Homecoming foe Angelo State University on Oct. 5
The remaining NCAA II bouts are home games against independent Oklahoma Panhandle State University (Sept. 28) and Great American Conference member Southern Nazarene University (Nov. 16). McM plays a return game at NAIA school Wayland Baptist University on Nov. 9.
"We know this schedule is ambitious," said Miller. "But this will give us an idea on where we need to be in future years to come. We're hopeful that the community and our fans will make plans to come out and be a part of the action."
Tickets for 2013 will be going on sale later this spring. To be placed on the list to receive ticket information, please call (325) 793-4922.
