Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni is set to re-table a controversial anti-gay bill that was recently struck down by the country's constitutional court. The original version of the law passed in February, however it was overturned on a technicality this month. The law had punished gay sex with long prison terms and attracted criticism from Western aid donors. According to MPs backing a new version of the bill, the law will be watered down and focused on the threat of supposed homosexual recruitment of children. RFI spoke to Medard Bitekyerezo, a Ugandan MP supporting the new bill.
Interview: Medard Bitekyerezo
President Museveni wants this law back in parliament. Can you tell us more?
I'm one of those Ugandans who believes that we should follow what God created and the rules of nature. I'm a doctor by profession, I'm not somebody who has not gone to school, I've been to school. Our president is a bit careful with this law. The president was saying that there are so many people out there even in places where you stay who enjoy homosexuality. Am I right or not? In fact, everywhere in Europe, in America, I'm told there are some people there who are very interested, they want to sleep with men when they are men. True or false?
There are some people in Europe who are homosexual, yes.
But here in Uganda we haven't been seeing them often, but they're also coming up and we know there are some people abusing our children. We feel we don't want our president to support a law that is going to accept our children to be molested by those who are doing homosexuality here. I think there, he agrees with us because we say why should anybody come and train my kids to become homosexual when for me I want my kids to start producing children, to inherit my property. Point number two, the president does not believe in promotion of homosexuality because here in Uganda and Africa at large, when you want to sleep with your wife, to go and hide yourself in your house, whatever happens there, it happens. But this thing of going and kissing everybody by the roadside, it does not work here. For us, the people here don't want it, they say sex is very sacred. So he says anybody promoting it by the roadside is not very good. We are saying nobody should come with money, to our country, to start recruiting those disadvantaged who don't have the money, into homosexuality. However, our president is saying, there are some people who have opted to go into hotels and they're sleeping together and they are adults, and they have consented. He says we shouldn't tamper with them and we have also agreed.
You've said that this is about recruitment of children and exploiting financially vulnerable young people. Doesn't Uganda have laws against paedophilia?
We as Ugandans we are saying, if anybody is a homosexual, do not tamper with my son. I want to have grandchildren when I'm dead, even when I'm still alive. So we don't have a law against that one, it's there but it's very weak. If they are going to do their things over there, they should be doing it as adults and people should consent. That's what the president has told us.
There's an implicit argument that you're making, that homosexuals want to recruit children. I would suggest that they don't necessarily want to recruit children.
For us what we're saying, the homosexuals, when you go to the real homosexuality, it does not produce children because these are fellas who are going into a room to undress. I think you agree with me. We are saying for us Ugandans, some of us are very committed we have taken the trouble to produce children.
If homosexuals don't want to have children surely that's their choice.
Everybody has got a choice not to produce children, so don't tamper with my children. That's what we're saying. What we have put in this new law, we are saying, if adults have consented, period, there's no problem. We shall not harass them. But what we don't want them to do is, we do not want them to recruit our children into homosexuality. This one's a very clear statement from me, I am talking as a Ugandan, I will remain in this country, we shall protect this country, because we feel that children should be given a chance to make their own choices and we must protect children until they have become adults.
Won't this law also discriminate against gay people?
We do not discriminate against gay people. I can tell you in Uganda here when they are very sick they go to a doctor and they get treatment. But what the Ugandans are saying, not to do it on very vulnerable people, not to do it on children because we have seen this thing coming into schools.

Saturday's football fixtures
Leicester City v Bristol City
Bristol City face a daunting a trip to the King Power Stadium this weekend, where Leicester boast a 100% record.
Derek McInnes' side had to settle for a draw with Millwall in midweek, with goal-scorer on Tuesday evening, Steve Davies, likely to retain his place.
City are still unable to call upon defender Joe Bryan, with midfield powerhouse, Marvin Elliott, also side lined with a groin injury for a further two weeks.
Leicester meanwhile, have concerns over the fitness of defender Richie De Laet, but midfielders, Matty James and Ben Marshall, could return to the starting line-up.
Bury v Swindon Town
Swindon will be hoping to bounce back from their midweek home defeat with a third consecutive on the road when they travel to Bury.
Midfielder, Giles Coke, is definitely out for Paolo Di Canio's side but winger, Gary Roberts, will face a late fitness test.
Defender, Nathan Thompson, will travel with the squad to Gigg Lane but is unlikely to be risked as he continues his comeback from injury.
Bury will have striker, Andy Bishop, back in their squad after recalling him from his loan at Wrexham. Matt Doherty, who joined on loan from Wolves this week, is also available to make his debut.
Yeovil Town v Colchester United
Yeovil desperately need to end their six game losing streak when they entertain Colchester at Huish Park on Saturday.
GozieUgwu and Lewis Young have both been ruled out after picking up injuries in their midweek defeat to Portsmouth. Gary Johnson will be able to call upon midfielder, Ed Upson, who returns from a one-match suspension and on loan striker, Paddy Madden, could make his debut.
Colchester are unlikely to make any changes following back to back wins against Hartlepool and Swindon. Goalkeeper, Mark Cousins, should play through the pain barrier after he dislocated his finger last weekend.
Bristol Rovers v Northampton
Incredibly, Bristol Rovers have yet to win a home game this season. Northampton are the latest visitors to the Memorial Ground.
Defender, Tom Parkes, is back from suspension and is likely to partner Garry Kenneth at the heart of the defence.
Meanwhile, full-back, Michael Smith, has returned from compassionate leave but is unlikely to start, as Mark McGhee's side look to break their home duck.
Northampton striker, Clive Platt, could return to the starting line-up, but defender, John Johnson, and midfielder, Luke Guttridge, are long-term absentees.
Cheltenham Town v Fleetwood Town
Cheltenham host Football League new boys, Fleetwood Town, this weekend, as they try to extend their four-game unbeaten run.
Mark Yates has no new injury concerns and may have striker, Shaun Harrad, back in his side after the on-loan star missed Wednesday night's victory over Bristol Rovers.
Fleetwood striker, Steven Gillespie, is pushing for a start after coming off the bench to score in midweek. Alan Goodall is the likely replacement for injured defender, Dean Howell.

text: BEFORE THE WORKERS' COMPENSATION BOARD OF THE STATE OF OREGON HEARINGS DIVISION Oregon Occupational Safety & Health Division ) Docket No: SH91073 Plaintiff, ) CITATION NO: M6281011091 TREES INC. Defendant ) OPINION AND ORDER Hearing was held in Medford, Oregon on July l9, l991 before Philip A. Mongrain, Referee. Oregon Occupational Safety & Health Division was represented by Assistant Attorney General Norman F. Kelley. Trees, Inc. was represented by Attorney Jeremy Fellows. The hearing was closed on July 25 following oral closing arguments. ISSUES Whether the employer violated standards as alleged by a citation issued on January 3, l991. FINDINGS OF FACT Alleged violation 1-l The employer was engaged in a tree trimming operation on the afternoon of November 16, 1990 utilizing an aerial boom truck and a chipper (Mike Mitchell's testimony; Exhibit 3, page l). The truck was parked on a slight curve facing south and occupied more than one half but less than two thirds of the south bound lane (Exhibit 3 (pages l, 2, 7)). The two man crew had placed a series of orange marker cones around the truck from the rear to the front (Exhibits 3 (pages 1, 2), 5 (pages 8, 9)). There was ample room for two cars to pass next to the truck (Mike Mitchell's testimony; Exhibit 5, page 9). Approximately 100 feet to the rear of the truck was a four way stop intersection, in which was a "utility work ahead" sign at the entrance of the street leading to the truck (Exhibits 3 (page 7), 5 (pages l5)). No signs were positioned so as to be seen by people approaching the site from the south (Exhibits 3 (page 7), 5 (pages 68)). The street is two lanes, posted at 25 mph with speeds of 30 to 35 mph common, and the traffic volume was "moderate" (Mike Mitchell's testimony). A short distance south of the truck was a sign designating a school crosswalk (Exhibit 5, page 7). The weather was clear and dry with good visibility (Mike Mitchell's testimony; Exhibit 5 (pages 16)). Cars approaching the work site from the north, to the rear of the truck, encountered a momentary "blind spot" for visibility of the left lane, and all cars observed by the safety compliance officer slowed down and proceeded slowly around the truck (Mike Mitchell's testimony; Exhibit 5 (pages l, 2, 9)). The employer was cited for failure to utilize a flagger or other appropriate traffic controls (Exhibits l (page 3), 3 (page l)). Based on an assessment by the Safety Compliance Officer that the circumstances represented a medium probability of a serious injury to the employees, and allowing a 30 percent reduction for the employer's past safety record, the employer was assessed a fine of $350.00 (Mike Mitchell's testimony; Exhibits l (page 3), 3 (page l)). Alleged violation 1-2 The chipper that was in use by the crew was a "drum" type chipper that is not required by American National Safety Institute (ANSI) standards to be equipped with an emergency shutoff button, and was not expected by the safety compliance officer to include such a shutoff button (Mike Mitchell's testimony, Robert Reeder's testimony). However, the employer had installed a shutoff button on the machine in the mistaken belief that it was required in Oregon, then ignored it upon learning to the contrary, and the button had become disconnected (Robert Reeder's testimony; Exhibit 3, page 3). The drum on such a chipper runs down even after the machine is turned off, and the employer felt that a shutoff button would give the employees a false sense of security (Robert Reeder's testimony). Employees are instructed in other procedures for dealing with emergency situations involving the chipper (Robert Reeder's testimony). The employer was cited for failure to repair defective equipment in the form of a required shutoff button (Exhibits 1 (page 3), 3 (page 3)). Based on an assessment by the safety compliance officer that the circumstance represented a medium probability of a serious injury to the employees, and allowing the appropriate 30 percent reduction, the employer was assessed a penalty of $350.00 (Mike Mitchell's testimony; Exhibits l (page 3), 3 (page 3)). Alleged violation 1-3 Withdrawn at the hearing. Alleged violation 1-4 The chipper, a machine of unknown weight, was connected to the truck by a tow bar and two chains with open hooks on the ends (Exhibits 3 (page 5), 5 (page 10)). The open hooks were placed over a metal plate welded to the back of the truck (Mike Mitchell's testimony; Exhibit 5, page 10). No evidence was presented regarding the tensile strength of the chains. The safety compliance officer testified to his belief that as attached the chains would be insufficient to control the chipper should the tow bar fail. Based on the attachment of the chain hooks and length of the chains the compliance officer cited the employer because the connection chains were insufficient to control the chipper if the tow bar failed (Mike Mitchell's testimony; Exhibit 3, page 5). Considering the apparent adequacy of the tow bar the compliance officer concluded that there was a low probability of a serious injury to the employees, and allowing an appropriate 30 percent reduction assessed the employer a penalty of $105.00 (Mike Mitchell's testimony; Exhibit 3, page 5). Alleged violation 1-5 Both sides of the chipper's engine compartment were unguarded and open, exposing a vertical V-belt drive and fan (Mike Mitchell's testimony; Exhibits 3 (page 6), 5 (page 11)). The engine compartment is situated at a right angle to the line of travel of the employees and within the frame work of the chipper body, so it is not easily accessible (Mike Mitchell's testimony; Exhibits 5 (page 11), 15). However, there were items of equipment placed near the open compartment (Exhibit 5, page 11). The chipper is not manufactured with side covers for the engine compartment, although they are available as an option (Robert Reeder's testimony Exhibit 11). A solid cover would create excessive engine heat, but a porous metal cover would permit air flow (Mike Mitchell's testimony). The employer was cited for failure to guard or enclose the engine compartment (Exhibit l, page 4). Based on an assessment by the safety compliance officer that this fact situation represented a medium probability of serious injury, and allowing a 30 percent reduction, the employer was assessed a penalty of $350.00 (Exhibits (page 4), 3 (page 6)). Alleged violation 2-6 Only one traffic warning sign was positioned relative to the work being performed, namely, a "utility work ahead" sign 75 to 100 feet north of the truck (Exhibits 3 (page 7), 5 (pages 19)). Based on an inadequate number of signs the employer was cited for failure to provide adequate and appropriate traffic controls (Mike Mitchell's testimony; Exhibits 1 (page 5), 3 (page 7)). Based on the compliance officer's conclusion that these facts represented a low probability of serious injury, the employer was assessed an initial penalty of $150.00 that was doubled as a repeat violation of a citation issued in June, 1989 (Exhibits 1 (page 5), 3 (page 7), 4). The June, 1989 citation erroneously alleged a violation of sign construction when it should have alleged a violation of the number of signs, but it was never appealed (Mike Mitchell's testimony). ULTIMATE FINDINGS OF FACT (l) A flagger or other traffic control measures were not required in order to protect the employees. (2) The chipper was not defective equipment or an unsafe condition because of the inoperative emergency shutoff button. (3) Chains connecting the chipper to the truck were insufficiently attached to control the chipper being towed, representing a medium probability of a serious injury. (4) The chipper engine's vertical drive belt was exposed, representing a low probability of a serious injury. (5) North bound cars were not warned by signs of work activity ahead, representing a low probability of a serious injury. OPINION Alleged violation l-l OAR 437-03-O01 29 CFR 1926.201(a)(1) provides that: "When operations are such that signs, signals, and barricades do not provide the necessary protection on or adjacent to a highway or street, flagmen or other appropriate traffic controls shall be provided." (emphasis supplied) Adequate protection is obviously the standard established by this regulation. Mr. Mitchell was of the opinion the standard was not met. The Oregon Occupational Safety & Health Division has the burden of proving this, and I am not persuaded that the burden has been met. The weather conditions were clear and dry and the work was being performed in the middle of the day. Approaching from the north all cars were warned by a sign and by orange cones that work was proceeding ahead. That this was effective is demonstrated by the fact that all cars observed approaching from the north slowed down and proceeded slowly around the truck. A momentary blind spot existed relative to oncoming left lane traffic, which reasonably would be safely traversed by proceeding slowly. Cars coming from the south had unlimited visibility on dry pavement, and Mr. Mitchell admitted at one point in his testimony that south of the work site cars slow down for a school crossing. In fact, such reduced speed was one of the factors that persuaded Mr. Mitchell to determine a low probability of an accident due to an absence of signs. Finally, placement of a sign or signs south of the work site would have added to the probable reduced speed of cars approaching from the south. Ideal weather conditions, unlimited visibility looking north, a warning sign to the rear of the truck, orange cones around the truck, cars slowing down from both directions, the probable additional effect of a sign south of the work site. As I view it, these factors represent "necessary protection" to the employees, and a flagger or other traffic controls were not necessary. Mr. Mitchell suggested that drivers could become confused and disoriented. In my opinion, drivers so confused and disoriented probably would be unaffected by a flagger or other traffic controls. Therefore, I conclude that the cited standard was not violated and alleged violation l-l must be dismissed. Alleged violation 1-2 OAR 437-40-040(1) provides: "All places of employment shall be inspected by a qualified person...defective equipment or unsafe conditions found by these inspections shall be replaced or repaired or remedied promptly." The regulations adopted by ANSI do not require a shutoff button on a drum type chipper. The safety compliance officer did not expect such a shutoff button so apparently there is no requirement in Oregon that a button be provided. However, a button was installed by the employer because it was believed to be required. The drum on such a chipper will continue to run down even after it is turned off. The employees were trained to look to other procedures for shutoff than the emergency button. All these factors persuade me that in fact there was no "defective equipment", nor were there any unsafe conditions that would have been alleviated by the presence of an emergency shutoff button. Therefore, the cited standard was not violated and alleged violation 1-2 must be dismissed. Alleged violation 1-3 This allegation was withdrawn so must be dismissed. Alleged violation 1-4 OAR 437-56-115(2) provides: "Safety chains or cables shall have a tensile strength equivalent to the gross weight of the towed vehicle and their means of attachment to the towed and towing vehicle shall be of sufficient strength to control the towed vehicle in event the tow bar or coupling device fails". There is no evidence regarding the tensile strength of the chains connecting the truck and the chipper, so that aspect of the alleged violation has not been proved . As far as the method of attachment of the chains to the truck, namely, by open hooks placed over a welded metal plate (Exhibit 5, page 10), there is no specific evidence regarding the propensity of the chains to detach or slide back and forth. However, the safety compliance officer testified to the usual method he has observed wherein the chain is brought back and hooked on itself. The method of actual attachment looks to be potentially unstable (Exhibit 5, page 10), and the compliance officer's suggested method of attachment presents the appearance of greater stability, so absent specific contrary evidence I am persuaded that the burden has been carried to prove the violation relative to the method of chains attachment. The compliance officer assessed the probability of accident resulting from this violation as low (Exhibit 3, page 5) in view of the apparent adequacy of the tow bar, and that seems reasonable. The compliance officer evaluated the potential injury as serious if an accident occurred as a result of the violation, and assuming a loose or unstable chipper such an evaluation appears reasonable. OAR 437-01-145(5) provides for a $150.00 penalty in the case of a violation that represents a low probability of a serious injury, and that is the penalty that was assessed (Exhibit 3, page 5). A 30 percent reduction was apparently allowed pursuant to OAR 437-01-145(2)(b) for consideration of the employer's past safety record, and there is no evidence that suggests the reduction was improper. Therefore, the penalty was correct as well as the alleged v i o 1 a t ion. Alleged violation l-5 OAR 437-02-240 29 CFR 1910.219(e)(3)(i) provides: "Vertical and inclined belts shall be enclosed by a guard conforming to standards in paragraphs (m) and (o) of this section." The chipper's engine compartment included an exposed vertical belt (Exhibit 5, page ll). The evidence discloses that some equipment is placed next to the engine compartment (Exhibit 5, page ll), so even though the normal operations and activities of the employees are at right angles to the compartment and separated from the engine compartment by the chipper frame, it appears that at times an employee could reasonably be exposed to the unguarded belt. A porous metal cover is apparently available for the machine, which presumably would provide protection and still allow the engine to operate without excessive heat. Therefore, I conclude that the alleged violation has been proved. The safety compliance officer concluded that the exposed belt presented a medium probability of a serious injury. I cannot quarrel with the assessment of a potentially serious injury resulting from being caught in a drive belt. However, considering the evidence that indicates virtually all employee operations are at right angles to the exposed engine compartment and outside the intervening frame of the chipper, I believe it is reasonable to conclude that the probability of an accident would be low. The proper fine for a low probability of a serious injury is $150.00 according to OAR 437-01-145(5). Given the 30 percent reduction allowed by the compliance officer (Exhibit 3, page 6), which is presumably still appropriate, the fine should be $105.00. Alleged violation 2-6 Section 6B3 of the code describing traffic controls for street maintenance (exhibit 14) provides: "Signs shall be placed in positions where they will convey their messages most effectively and placement must therefore be accommodated to highway design and alignment. Signs shall be so placed that the driver will have adequate time for response." The evidence is clear that there were no signs at all to the south of the employer's work site (Mike Mitchell's testimony; Exhibit 5 (pages 68)). Although the safety compliance officer testified that cars coming from the south slowed down due to the school crossing sign, I am not persuaded it was prudent to assume all drivers would honor the school crossing sign in the middle of the day when children were not normally present. Also, a proper sign, such as the "utility work ahead" to the north of the truck, would have provided a specific warning of what to look for. At the very least it would have provided an important backup to the school crossing sign, and thereby would have offered the maximum amount of assurance that cars approaching from the south would slow down and be alert. One sign to the south, in conjunction with ideal driving conditions, was sufficient to provide protection to the workers. I believe that it is reasonable to have also placed at least one sign to the north. With signs, a flagger and/or other traffic controls were unnecessary, but one or the other was necessary, and neither existed as far as north bound traffic. Therefore, the alleged violation has been proved. The safety compliance officer determined that considering the weather conditions, the posted school crossing sign, and the posted speed of 25 to 35 mph, the probability of an accident resulting from the violation was low. I agree. A potentially serious injury was foreseen from an accident, and since a collision of some kind would be very likely I cannot disagree. A low probability of a serious injury requires a $150.00 penalty according to OAR 437-01-145(5), which is doubled pursuant to OAR 437-01-165(1) due to an earlier similar violation (Exhibit 3, page 7). Therefore, the assessed penalty of $300.00 is appropriate. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW Alleged violations l-l and 1-2 have not been proved, but alleged violations 1-4, l-5 and 2-6 have been proved. ORDER IT IS HEREBY ORDERED AS TO CITATION M628101191 THAT: (l) Alleged violation 1-1 is dismissed. (2) Alleged violation 1-2 is dismissed. (3) Alleged violation l-3 is dismissed. (4) Alleged violation 1-4 and the proposed penalty are approved. (5) Alleged violation 1-5 is approved, with a modified penalty of $105.00. (6) Alleged violation 2-6 and the proposed penalty are approved. NOTICE TO ALL PARTIES: Any party to this proceeding who is dissatisfied with this order may, not later than sixty (60) days after the mailing of this order, petition for a judicial review by the Court of Appeals as provided in ORS 183.480 to 183.500.

I'm sure many of you have prepared for a major event in your life such as prom night, wedding, graduation or some other special occasion when you were hoping to look your best. But when you wake up that day, you find the largest blackhead, whitehead, or pimple in the world on the most prominent part of your face. Horror of horrors! You think to yourself, "I shouldn't have had those chips, or fast food, or junk food the other night because they probably caused this." Can any of you relate to this story? Well, if you thought that it was the bad food that caused that unwanted guest on your face you are wrong. Neither junk food (including sweets), bad diet, nor dirt actually causes acne.
There is no statistical proof that junk food like pizza, chocolate, fried foods, or food containing caffeine or fats are the cause of acne. Acne is a consequence of overly excited sebaceous glands.
According to the American Academy of Dermatology, acne is caused by four key triggers: excess oil, clogged pores, bacteria, and inflammation. The excess oil, also known as sebum, is oil produced by the skin to avert it from drying out. When this excess oil is unable to surge to the skin's surface the result is clogged pores, which leads to acne. Inflammation is caused by Propionibacterium, an acne bacteria, which is found on everyone's skin. When there is a little inflammation the excess sebum is blocked near the skin's surface, resulting in either a blackhead or whitehead. However, when the excess sebum is blocked deeper in the skin then a pimple will be the result of the inflammation.
So what can cause excess production of sebum?
- Hormones – they are released by the body during puberty and throughout life and can stimulate sebaceous glands if there is a hormonal imbalance
- Heat – body heat and increased circulation, e.g. through vigorous exercise activities, may excite glands to release more oil
- Friction – snug clothing, chin straps, head bands, or bra straps, can irritate the skin and stimulate glands to release oil
- Irritation – excessive scrubbing or use of harsh cleansers can irritate the skin stimulating glands to react
- Steroids– the inappropriate use of anabolic steroids, more specifically anabolic androgen steroid (AAS) can lead to acne due to the stimulation of sebaceous glands
How can you prevent acne from recurring in the future?
While a poor diet will not exacerbate acne, rubbing greasy fingers against your skin while eating, or running them through your hair may add to the debris on the skin and cause pores to clog. When cleansing your face, use a mild cleanser and a microfiber cloth that successfully absorbs oil. In addition, in order to kill the propionibacterium, acne's bacteria that cause acne, you must first remove the top layer of skin that protects it through exfoliation. Post-exfoliation, apply toner to clean pores, and a restoring 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide cream to kill the bacteria.

College Hockey:St. John's hopes for different result against Wisconsin-Eau Claire
Progress for St. John's men's hockey team has been more of a grind than a smooth ride.
Senior forward Michael Palmiscno, a two-time team captain, will tell you as much. In his first three seasons, the Johnnies won a total of 26 games and made one appearance in the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference playoffs. That was last year, when the Johnnies finished 11-13-2 and were knocked out of the postseason in a 3-1 semifinal loss to eventual champion Gustavus.
Like all losses, that one hurt, maybe more than others, but the Johnnies came into this season determined to not only return to the playoffs, but to compete for a MIAC championship.
The agony of defeat was no longer a burden, but rather the ultimate motivation.
"Our goals were a lot different this year," Palmiscno said. "We wanted to win the conference and get to the NCAA tournament. We have gotten better each year I've been here, and we felt like we could be a really good team this season."
Not all dreams come true in sports, but this one did. On Saturday afternoon inside the National Hockey and Events Center in St. Cloud, St. John's made their dream a reality.
The Johnnies (16-7-4) celebrated a hard-fought 3-2 win over Gustavus Adolphus, a riveting game they won on a goal by Justin Hochsprung with just over three minutes to play in regulation. They savored the program's first MIAC tourney title since 2003, and relished the fact that they were taking St. John's back to the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2005.
Hochsprung tallied an assist as well, while junior forward Jason Johnson and sophomore defenseman Nick Senta also scored goals. Sophomore forward John Haeg dished out three assists, and sophomore defenseman Nick Vatnsdal racked up two assists. Freshman goalie Saxton Soley racked up 19 saves and improved to 10-1-1 in his last 12 starts.
"It feels great to win the conference and get a chance to play in the NCAA tournament," Palmiscno said. "We've come a long way during my career here, making a lot of changes, and it feels awesome to have this experience."
Doug Schueller began coaching this team in 2008, and the former Bowling Green State University hockey star guided the Johnnies to 10 wins overall and a seventh-place finish in the conference in his first year.
St. John's was eighth in the conference a year later, and tied for seventh in 2011. The Johnnies won 15 games in that two-year stretch, and were still so far away from being a contender.
The struggles are what made Saturday even more enjoyable, as St. John's won a MIAC tourney title for the fifth time in program history.
"It's a well-deserved championship," Schueller said. "Our players have bought into our system and have phenomenal character. They have worked hard, and have been a great group to coach. We're very excited about still playing hockey this week."
Schueller had a feeling back in November that this team was good enough to compete for a conference crown. Granted, he knew it wouldn't be easy in a conference filled with parity, but as the season progressed, his hunch began to feel more real.
The Johnnies closed the season on a five-game win streak, and won eight of their final 10 while losing only once during that stretch. The co-champions of the MIAC blasted Concordia, 5-1, in the semifinal round of the tournament and survived a grueling title game against a Gusties team that they had tied twice during the regular season.
"We had some question marks going into the season, but I thought we were good enough to compete for a championship," Schueller said. "We played really well in the second half of the season, and that is when it really began to click that we had a chance to do something special."
St. John's will continue its special season this week when it makes a trip to Wisconsin to take on nationally-ranked Wisconsin-Eau Claire in an NCAA tournament opener.
Interestingly enough, the Johnnies and Blugolds have played once this season. It was back on Jan. 4, when the Johnnies were dropped 5-1 on the road. It was one of only three losses St. John's suffered in the 2013 portion of its season.
Both teams have made strides since, but having a little familiarity with an opponent at this time of the year never hurts.
"It definitely helps, because we know what kind of team they are," Palmiscno said. "They are one of the best teams in the country, and have a lot of skilled players. We have to play our best."
Schueller said his team won't change much to its approach against the Blugolds (20-5-2).
"It seems like such a long time ago since we've played them, and both teams are different than they were in January," Schueller said. "It does help that we have played them, but we aren't going to change much now. We'll stick to what got us here."
St. John's doesn't have much time to enjoy its MIAC title, as it is hitting the ice on Wednesday for a 7 p.m. game at the Hobbs Ice Center.
Both teams have endured the wear and tear of a long season, and the way Palmiscno sees it, being ready to roll shouldn't be an issue. The winner plays two-time defending national champion St. Norbert on Saturday.
"We've worked hard all year to get to this point," Palmiscno said. "We will try to get rested as much as possible, but if you don't have the energy to play an NCAA tournament game, you probably shouldn't be out there. We're excited about our opportunity."
One of the keys to success for St. John's has been its ability to be more consistent, something that will be of the utmost importance against Eau Claire.
"We have learned to play a full 60 minutes, rather than take 10 minutes off here or there, and that has been huge for us," Schueller said. "We know that if we aren't consistent for three periods, Eau Claire will capitalize. We can't afford to let up at all."
In a tournament setting, where the pressure is a little higher and the only options are win the game or call it a day, the Johnnies know that nailing down a win in the tourney opener is not out of their reach.
"It's the playoffs now, and we know that anything is possible," Palmiscno said. "We know that if we play our best and give it everything we have, we can come out of here with a win."

April 26, 2009
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - Three former Alabama Crimson Tide football players were selected in the third round of the 2009 NFL Draft on Sunday at Radio City Music Hall in New York City.
Glen Coffee was the first Alabama player off the board on day two with the 10th pick of the third round and the No. 74 overall pick to the San Francisco 49ers. Center Antoine Caldwell followed with the No. 77 overall selection and the 13th of the round by the Houston Texans. Safety Rashad Johnson followed when the Arizona Cardinals selected the former walk-on with the 95th overall pick.
Coffee, a native of Pensacola, Fla., started 14 games in 2008 and tied Shaun Alexander for the second-most rushing yards in a single-season in school history as he gained 1,383 yards and scored 10 touchdowns. He finished with 2,107 yards in his career with 14 touchdowns and was a first-team All-SEC selection last season.
A Montgomery, Ala. native, Caldwell was one of eight two-time captains in school history and finished out his decorated Alabama career by earning consensus first-team All-America honors in 2008 and being named a finalist for the Rimington Trophy, which goes to the nation's top center. He was a four-year starter at center for the Tide and finished with 48 career starts.
Johnson, a native of Sulligent, Ala., began his UA career as a walk-on special teams player and developed into one of the top safeties in the country. A first-team All-American and a two-time first-team All-SEC selection, Johnson finished his UA career with 224 tackles, 11 interceptions and 19 pass breakups.
The trio joins offensive tackle Andre Smith as 2009 NFL Draft choices from the Capstone. Smith was selected with the sixth overall pick on Saturday afternoon by the Cincinnati Bengals.

It's hot. It's dry. We're tired, and have other stuff to do. The TV beckons. How many whiny excuses can we come up with to keep from going outside to get late-summer garden chores done before the chilly weather kicks in?
To be honest, I'm just kinda worn out from a long summer of taking care of the lawn, planting fall veggies and dragging a hose from my potted plants to flower and herb borders. My spring and early summer eagerness to get out and get stuff done is long gone.
Oops – am I starting to whine again? It isn't possible to savor garden success without earlier planning, planting and tending. The Second Law of Thermodynamics—order goes toward chaos—means we gotta stay on top of things, or things start to fall apart.
Beyond just keeping the lawn mowed and flower beds weeded – and of course planting daffodil bulbs and colorful (and nutritious) kale - here are a few things we can do now, maybe over the Labor Day weekend (in between excuses), to help us enjoy our gardens more later.
Lawns Need Late-Summer Attention
Next spring's lawn weeds can be headed off if we take care of and thicken
up the lawn before it starts to go dormant this fall. Here's what to do:
- Apply a high-potassium winterizer fertilizer soon, to help the lawn prepare ahead of time for its upcoming dormant season.
- Folks in the warmer parts of the country can actually apply a preventive herbicide to kill cool-season weed seeds as they sprout, rather than wait until the stuff is up and growing to try to kill them with sprays that may harm other plants.
- If you overseed your lawn for the winter with rye grass or other cool season grasses, get it done early enough for the seed to sprout, grow deep roots and get established before cold weather sets in.
- Plan now to mow rather than rake fall leaves, as long as you can, as a healthy way to "feed" the worms that take the leaf matter down deep into the lawn and tree roots.
- When leaves get too thick to mow into oblivion, rake, blow or bag them for the compost or leaf pile later.
Composting and Rain Barrels
Speaking of compost, be careful if you collect bagged grass clippings from neighbors who may use weed killers and fungicides, which can cause problems in your compost pile. My compost pile is finally almost used up, what with putting it on flower beds and spreading it around under shrubs. But early fall colors in neighborhood trees are telling me it won't be long before the good stuff starts falling once again, and I'll be raking or bagging and hauling to my bins.
- If you can, lay plastic sheeting (or, in my case, an old shower curtain) underneath a new compost pile to help keep tree roots from growing up into the compost (a very common problem with bare-ground compost piles).
- I always throw old compost onto the top of new material, to "inoculate" the fresh leaves and grass clippings with beneficial bacteria to help jump-start the composting process.
- To keep rain barrels from getting stagnant and stinky, use up any old
water and clean the barrels before fall rains start to refresh and replenish
- While you are fussing with rain barrels, check gutters to make sure they aren't clogged with old gunk that can cause them to overflow when new leaves start to fall.

Boston Looks to Ban Cigarette Sales in Pharmacies
Should a store that sells prescription medicines also be in the business of selling cigarettes, the nation's leading cause of preventable deaths? Boston's health Brahmins don't think so.
The city's Public Health Commission is likely to give initial approval today to a ban on cigarette sales at pharmacies, the Boston Globe reports this morning.
"Why, in a place where people go to get healthy and get information about staying healthy, would you want to sell something that has absolutely no redeeming value and ends up killing a lot of people?" Barbara Ferrer, the commission's executive director, told the paper.
The proposal, which would also ban the sale of cigarettes on college campuses, has the support of the mayor.
San Francisco's recently passed ban on cigarette sales at pharmacies goes into effect later this month. A similar ban in New York state failed to win passage, the WSJ reported.
As we noted a while back, CVS CEO Thomas Ryan has discussed the philosophical problems a pharmacy faces in selling cigarettes.
"We have a vision in our company to strive to improve human life, and it is a challenge around cigarettes," he said at a conference last year. "It's a big number from a dollar standpoint…We've had internal battles and discussions. I wouldn't rule it out at some point down the road."
But in a statement to the Globe, CVS said it continues to sell cigarettes because "it is company policy to try and provide products customers choose." A Walgreens spokeswoman said the company was concerned the ban would inconvenience consumers.

Story was one-sidedMarch 30,2013
Story was one-sided
I was dismayed by your recent article on the firing of a facilities employee at Goddard College. Though you rightly did not print the anonymous letter you received, you went on to paraphrase it so thoroughly you might as well have put the actual letter on the front page. Though I have no formal ties to the college or its staff and had no prior knowledge of the incident, I thought your treatment was unfair to the administration, especially President Vacarr. The college of course could not comment on the situation and therefore the article came across as completely one-sided. The article could easily have been written without mention of what was actually in the letter.
For goodness sake, if your policy is not to print anonymous letters, then dont print them.

Author: IrobotirobotI signed up online for a FREE "Google Money Tree Work From Home Kit' (http://www.googlemoneytree.com/). I was contacted via phone by a customer service representative re: my "Google Money Pro' subscription. She explained that they will ship the kit on the same day & I will be charged $1.97 only for the S&H. I am also automatically signed up for a FREE 7 day membership trial to fully access their website (http://www.internetincomeinitiative.com/) which begins AFTER I receive an email containing my Account Log-in info within 24 hrs of our conversation. Now they have charged me $72.96 which was never discussed nor was put conveniently masked out during the Free Kit subscription on the website. I did not receive ANY email from them.(It's been a week now). I emailed customer support for my log-in information but no response. Today only I called customer service (1-888-657-8585) at 2am EST but unfortunately, their service is open only Mon-Fri, 9am - 5pm CST. Which steps should I take further? I want to UNSUBSCIBE through the website and want to make sure that in future also I will not be charged by them. I have not received the kit till now. Lookforward to seeing your valuable advice.

Echoing the results of a Gallup Poll from last October, a new CNN/ ORC International survey released on Monday says that a majority of Americans now support cannabis legalization.
According to the CNN Poll, "Fifty-five percent of those questioned nationally said marijuana should be made legal, with 44% disagreeing."
The response was similar to the results of the Gallup Poll from October, in which 58 percent of respondents said they supported legalizing the drug. That 10 percent surge in just one year marked the first time a Gallup Poll showed a majority of Americans in favor of legalization.
Although support for legalization is rising -- thanks in part to successful campaigns in Colorado and Washington to legalize small amounts of marijuana -- CNN Polling Director Keating Holland said that "There are big differences on age, region, party ID, and gender, with senior citizens, Republicans, and Southerners the only major demographic groups who still oppose the legal use of pot."
Indeed, the dramatic shift in attitudes over the past quarter century largely hinge on generational acceptance. CNN reported that "Two-thirds of those 18 to 34 said marijuana should be legal." Among those 65 and older, support plummets to just 39 percent .
Support also varied widely based on political affiliation, with "62 percent of Democrats and 59 percent of Independents" saying they supported legalization, a figure that stands at just 36 percent among Republicans.
Interestingly, CNN says that "The biggest change indicated by the poll reflected the number of people who said smoking pot is morally wrong." 70 percent of Americans polled in 1987 said that marijuana use was "morally wrong," a figure higher than abortion or pornography at the time. Today, the view that pot use is immoral is shared by just 35 percent.
According to CNN, the "poll was conducted by ORC International, from January 3-5, with 1,010 adults nationwide questioned by telephone. The survey's overall sampling error is plus or minus 3 percentage points."

SO I am just trying to warn people again, if something seems up, or WRONG, don't go ahead with it.....!

Sorry for any and all upsets. That was not at all why I posted that. I just wanted people to be careful, and I thought people would say how sad that was for her case, and try to prevent crazy things like that from happening to themselves....to protect themselves....if something does not seem right.

Missing Camas, Wash. teenager Anji Dean, who has been missing since June 23, was found safe on Wednesday afternoon. She was located around 4 pm at the Clackamas Town Center, a mall on the outskirts of Portland. Monday, Anji's mother, Lynda Jorgenson, spoke on Nancy Grace, of her daughter's disappearance and the possibility that the 17-year-old may be involved with human sex traffickers.
Media coverage exploded and a woman who lived in the area came forward, saying she had spent several days with Anji, who requested to be called Daisy, and that she had tried to help her. Anji had told her that she had gotten involved in a bad situation and she needed out. She also said that her people were probably looking for her, and they were making her do things she didn't want to do. She had mentioned such things to teachers and counselors in the weeks and months leading up to her disappearance, culminating on June 23, when she texted her boyfriend that "they" were threatening to kill him and her family so she had to leave.
The investigation into a possible human trafficking ring will continue, with police very interested in speaking to a 25-35 year old black man with a goatee, driving an older model blue Volvo. This man was seen dropping Anji off at her house the day she disappeared, just hours before she was last seen.
The most important thing is that this teenager is now safe, back at home with her parents. "I'm glad it's over," her mother said. "This can happen to anybody. There are a lot of people out there preying on young girls." That part, in and of itself, is disgusting. When did it become so unsafe to be a teenager? Good luck to this family.

Although some factors that send a relationship spiraling downward are uncontrollable, there are a few key things that you can do to help prevent the failure of your relationship. Follow these steps and as long as your partner is following them as well, you will be set on the right track for a successful relationship.
The first thing to avoid is lying. The moment you begin to lie in a relationship is the moment you are setting it up for failure. Once you tell a little lie, you are forced to tell yet another lie to cover up the first one. This can sometimes be referred to as the snowball effect. Before you know it, the entire relationship is based on a lie. Sure there are some 'white lies' when it comes to a surprise you are throwing or a present. But other than that, steer clear of the lying.
The second thing you should avoid is cheating. It is pretty obvious that cheating ruins a relationship. Even if they forgive you and take you back; the trust will never be 100 percent again. With the trust being gone, it is only a matter of time before the relationship unravels. If you are unhappy and fall for someone else, it is best to just end your current relationship before acting upon your feelings.
Over thinking is the third thing to avoid while trying to maintain a serious relationship. If you begin to over think every little thing your partner does, you might just literally go crazy. No one is happy all the time while they are in a relationship. Just because your partner isn't giving you all of their attention randomly, doesn't mean they are thinking of leaving. Sometimes people just need their own space. Though it is good to guard your heart a little, do not over analyze every little thing your partner does.
The "what ifs" are the fourth things that can ruin a relationship and are similar to the over thinking. If you dwell on 'what ifs' such as; "what if they fall for someone else", "what if we start arguing a lot", "what if I give them all my love just for them to break my heart", then you will spend your whole relationship worrying. What good is a relationship if you are worrying all the time? It is best to let go of the 'what ifs' to make room for reality.
One of the biggest factors that can put any relationship in hardships is if you linger in the past and start comparing. While it is alright to know the difference between your current relationship and your past relationships, you should not compare every detail of the two partners. This will distract you from making your current relationship work. Your exes are in the past for a reason and that is where they should stay. Don't make your prior relationships your future or else your current relationship will end up like the past.
When you are in a relationship, you have to take the good with the bad. This does not mean to create the 'bad' by lying, cheating, over thinking, 'what if-ing' and lingering on the past. If you want your relationship to prosper and thrive, you need to have a new start. Take in to consideration what you went through in the past, maybe even guard your heart a bit but remember that they are not your ex. They have not made the mistakes that your ex has made therefore you cannot hold your past against them.

I have read the rules and the first one says:
"1. Don't ask for or provide illegal content, discuss cheating devices or cheat codes. This includes episode downloads, Gameshark, Action Replay, ROMs, etc"
I understand ROM's since they are truly outlawed, but why cheating devices and cheat codes especially? Cheating devices such as the ones listed in the first rule are not illegal. The use of them is frowned upon and if anything happens to your game the warranty is void, but it is not illegal. The purchase and use of cheating devices are perfectly legal and they are sold all over the country in many stores. Cheat codes really surprised me since cheats codes are built into the game by the creators. So why has the discussion of them been made illegal on this forum?
I know this post will most likely be locked even though I'm not specifically discussing any cheat code or device nor am I asking for or providing any as the rules state. Before it is locked though, I would like an honest answer to my honest question. Thank you.

Tips in Italy
Torre Del Porticciolo is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been too. It is a remote lookout point which also gives you access to a small beach below it. It is more secluded than other tourist points and the small bay will protect you from wind. Although there is a camping resort near by there are never many people on the beach. Its definatly one of Sardegna's hidden paradises, a must see.

I had an opportunity to interview Dr. Timothy Morley, Medical Director of Womens Healthy Hormones who is the formulator of Thin Balance Products.
What are the top menopausal ailments the Thin Balance products aim to remedy?
A fact of life for every woman is that they will pass through menopause. Menopause creates a hormone imbalance that gives one a myriad of symptoms. These include weight gain, hot flashes, night sweats, cramping and blotting, insomnia, irritability, forgetfulness and foggy thinking, among many others.
What is unique about your formulations of the Thin Balance products that alleviate menopausal symptoms?
I have developed a line of products that naturally alleviate those symptoms. I use the term "naturally" because there are many herbs and dietary options found in nature that have been well-known to help. I have created products that contain the perfect combination of the highest quality and best natural blend of elements to assist in alleviating menopausal symptoms.
What are these ingredients, and how do they work in the body?
Valeran Root: This has been known for thousands of years to provide a calming effect for agitation, and sleep effect for insomnia. It also alleviates hot flashes.
Damiana: This is a natural herb from Central America that helps with anxiety, depression, headaches, and is most well-known as a natural aphrodisiac.
Don Quai: This is an herb found in the high altitudes of Japan and China. It has been used for thousands of years in Chinese medicine to alleviate menopausal symptoms including hot flashes and night sweats.
Black Cohosh: This, along with flax and chaste berry, are well-known to provide a natural hormone support. These help with hot flashes, cramping, and have well-known anti-inflammatory properties.
Maca: From the highest quality Peruvian plant, this can provide energy, decreased stress and increased libido.
We also provide the highest quality ayurvedic herbs which have been long known to alleviate these hormone symptoms.
Lastly, certain amino acids, such as L-arginine and L-histamine along with the proper elements such as calcium and magnesium, help with alleviating muscle dysfunction and increase energy.
This Examiner was given samples of Dr. Morley's supplements along with THIN BALANCE Decadent Chocolate Hormone Balance Support Shake for Women. I am happy to report that this powder is gluten free and vegetarian. In addition I had been taking Celexa, a prescription drug, to help with my night sweats and I have been able to wean off of them.

Staking the ground: Toll Brothers and Ryland increase market share; Meritage moves in
Goldman Sachs, the global investment banking firm, put out a report naming Charlotte and Jacksonville, Fla., as the two hottest new housing markets in the country, based on population growth, cheap land and economic fundamentals. And in the post-recession, still-recovering era, Goldman picked three national production homebuilders as good stock investments, predicting they would grow in value by as much as 24 percent this year. Two of them have been charging into the Charlotte market in major ways since the market bottomed out in 2010: Toll Brothers Ryland Group.

When we were at CES we saw a new Phone from the Lenovo crowd called the LePhone. It was an interesting concept and seemed to be a lot of things the iPhone was not. But still it was and is not an iPhone. However, today we stumbled across an interesting tidbit of information. Lenovo is talking about their app store for the LePhone. This is moving ahead of schedule and could mean that we might see the LePhone a little earlier than we thought.
Of course, the LePhone will only be launching in China to begin with, but we do hope that it will spread and head over to the rest of the world sooner rather than later.

John Ronald Reuel Tolkien -- Ronald to family & relatives, John Ronald to school chums, Tolkien to scholastic acquaintances, Tollers to later collegial friends, J.R.R. Tolkien to his publishers & readers, and often J.R.R.T. to correspondents -- was born in January 1892 at Bloemfontein, capital of the Orange Free State of south Africa. Bloemfontein was a multilingual environment, with British merchant families speaking English and Boer natives speaking Dutch/Afrikaans; Ronald spoke both languages freely in his earliest years. As a toddler there he was bitten by a large tarantula, which may have inspired his later tales of monstrous spiders and their venomous bites.
Taken to England with his baby brother Hilary for a family visit in 1895, and remaining there following the death of his father Arthur from rheumatic fever early the next year, Ronald gradually forgot most of his Dutch but retained a precocious language facility: he was reading by the age of 4 and writing not long after (penmanship skills were unusually strong in his mother Mabel's family); schoolwork started with him reading & speaking Latin and, based on his obvious interest & language talent, French (which he did not much care for, due to its unpleasant sound).
With only a modest income from her deceased husband's investments, Mabel moved the brothers in 1896 to Sarehole, a country hamlet south of Birmingham. The setting was near-idyllic. A mill operated alongside a creek across the road, and the young boys frequently went to watch the millers at work and to steal mushrooms from a nearby farmer (who would, of course, chase them and whip them if he caught them). It was here that Ronald began to exhibit an obvious love for trees, which he would draw, climb, and even talk to; it was also here that he began picking up West Midlands dialect terms including gamgee 'cotton wool' (its inventor being a Dr. Gamgee). For reading material Mabel supplied Alice in Wonderland, books by George MacDonald about misshapen malevolent goblins beneath the mountains, and fairy tales by Andrew Lang including Sigurd slaying the dragon Fafnir. Around age 7 Ronald wrote his first dragon story, which led to his first serious study of English grammar.
In 1900 the family moved back to Birmingham so that Ronald could enroll in King Edward's School; it was in the suburb Mosely where he first encountered Welsh (via names on railroad cars), which was later to inspire his invention of the Grey-Elven language Sindarin. By 1903 he was studying Greek, and of course English literature, which included the Middle English language. Concerning Shakespeare, however, he was disgusted by the shabby artifice via which the author brought Birnam Wood to Dunsinane: John Ronald imagined the trees marching to war! In the winter of 1903-04 he began learning German from his mother, who died late in 1904 leaving her orphan sons under the guardianship of Father Francis Morgan, a fluent Spanish speaker.
By 1907 John Ronald was reading Spanish, and he invented a language (Naffarin) based on it. He began reading Anglo-Saxon that fall, including Beowulf where the hero kills monsters and a dragon; Anglo-Saxon, a.k.a. Old English, inspired his later invention of the language of Rohan, as well as Hobbit and other personal & place names, etc. That same year he began studying classical linguistics (philology) and reading Old Norse, including the original saga where Sigurd slays Fafnir. The next language in line was Gothic, an extinct poorly-attested Germanic tongue for which he invented words to fill vocabulary gaps; following that exercise he invented a supposedly unrecorded Germanic language using sound historical linguistic principles. This phase of his studies led to his inventing languages by starting with real or hypothetical earlier languages and simulating their evolution through time.
In early 1910 Tolkien was enchanted by Peter Pan, and that year he was reading Francis Thompson's poetry about elves & woodland sprites (who promptly vanish if the watcher moves). In spring 1911, not long after his successful Oxford entrance exams, he discovered the Kalevala and, with it, Finnish -- which later inspired his invention of the High-Elven language Quenya. Tolkien later recounted that, while hiking with family members in Switzerland that summer, he found a picture postcard showing Josef Madlener's Der Berggeist 'The Mountain Spirit', a painting that inspired his vision of the wizard Gandalf. The pieces were now in place, and his mythology commenced with his 1914 poem "The Voyage of Earendel the Evening Star." (N.B. This painting is now dated to the latter 1920's, so Tolkien's -- or Carpenter's? -- memory was amiss.)
Humphrey Carpenter. J.R.R. Tolkien: A Biography. Houghton Mifflin, Boston & New York, 2000.
The biographical sketch above, derived primarily from Carpenter, suggests how J.R.R. Tolkien came to invent his mythology based first on actual (often ancient) languages; out of languages their speakers emerge, and through them their stories. Tolkien did not ordinarily invent language "out of whole cloth," but relied for his inspiration on the sounds of interesting words he encountered -- at times, irrespective of their meanings. As a student of philology he was aware that language sounds change over time and, by this means (among others), languages evolve. Therefore his languages, too, had to evolve to reflect the passing of the ages; and just as language sounds do not vary arbitrarily, but follow patterns of change, his evolving languages had to exhibit patterns of change.
One of the ways in which Tolkien retained patterns in the evolution of his languages was via conscious parallels with existing human languages, often Anglo-Saxon (Old English) as it evolved into Middle and then Modern English. And so it was that Tolkien might start with an Old or Middle English word, which by some quirk of fate may not have survived into Modern English, and from it "evolve" a perfectly modern-sounding word or name (e.g. OE máðum > mathom); or, if a word actually did survive, he might change the spelling to an alternative form reflecting a highly plausible but slightly different evolutionary path (e.g. crick [in Crickhollow] instead of creek). Another way in which he derived recognizable names was via adoption from tongues related to English, such as Old Norse (e.g. for dwarf names, such as ON Dvalinn > Dwalin).
As part of our Indo-European Lexicon work, we have attempted to identify original sources for Tolkien's "invented" words & names; where [we believe] we have succeeded -- and where those originals are known to have actually evolved from Proto-Indo-European roots -- we have included Tolkien's "invented" forms in our English Reflex Index and among English words derived from those PIE roots.

Karl Henkel | posted Sep 16th 2011
Approximately 75 postal workers picketed outside the Youngstown Processing Center on Friday, September 16, 2011.
None of these people said they were 'owed' a job. There is work there. Stop making up facts. The Post Office is the only industry, public or private, that is forced to pre-fund health care 75 years in advance. That 5.5 billion/yr is why they're going broke. This attack on working people has got to stop. And as working people we have got to stop fighting each other. A decent wage and a secure job is not a sin. We should all wake up and do what they are doing to protect our future.

Child grooming
Child grooming is a term which describes the following situation. When an adult becomes friends with a child, this is sometimes done for a reason. The reason is to lower the inhibitions of the child and to prepare for sexual abuse. So, action taken by an adult to form a trusting relationship with a child, with the intent of later having sexual contact, is 'child grooming'.[1]
The act of grooming a child may include activities that are legal, but later lead to sexual contact. The grooming is done to gain the child's trust, and the trust of those responsible for the child. Children are less likely to report a crime if it involves someone the child knows, trusts, and cares about. Also, a relationship with the family means the child's parents will be less likely to believe any accusations.
Examples of grooming[change | change source]
- Taking interest in someone's child (having a "special" friend)
- Giving gifts or money to the child for no obvious reason
- Showing pornography to the child - this is illegal in many countries
- Talking about sexual topics that are not age-appropriate
- Invading the child's privacy (e.g. walking in on him/her in the bathroom)
- Hugging, kissing, or other physical contact if the child does not want this attention
- Allowing the child to get away with behavior that is not right.
- Talking to the child about problems that would normally be discussed with adults (e.g. marriage problems).[2]
Child grooming on the internet[change | change source]
Sexual grooming of children also occurs on the internet. Some abusers pose as children online and make arrangements to meet with them in person.[3]
In 2003, MSN implemented restrictions in their chat rooms purportedly intended to help protect children from adults seeking sexual conversations with them. In 2005, Yahoo! chat rooms were investigated by the New York State attorney general's office for allowing users to create rooms whose names suggested that they were being used for this purpose. That October, Yahoo! agreed to "implement policies and procedures designed to ensure" that such rooms would not be allowed.[1]
An organization called Perverted-Justice (known as PJ) uses PJ operatives posing as underage teens on the internet to identify potential child molesters and turn the information over to the police and the courts. The news program Dateline NBC features the recurring segment "To Catch a Predator", based on documenting such activities.
An organization called Crisp Thinking has created a service intended to identify grooming and warn parents, allowing them to install software that studies chat room and other Instant messaging logs for activity they have determined may identify grooming or other potentially suspicious activities. It has also adapted its technology to social networking services and ISPs.[4][5][6]
Another software company in the UK has developed a program that hold as competitor to Crisp, called Sentry Parental Controls. It was launched by television personality Coleen Nolan and is supported by Mark Williams-Thomas, a leading expert in child protection.[7]

Gregory Schultz, Ph.D.
Molecular Regulation of Tissue Repair
Dr. Schultz's research focuses on the role of growth factors, cytokines and proteases in regulating normal wound healing in the eye and skin, and how alterations in these key molecular regulators leads to impaired healing (chronic wounds) or excessive healing (fibrosis). For example, a major complication after excimer laser surgery of the cornea is the formation of sub-epithelial scar (fibrosis) that produces vision-disrupting haze. We have established that the transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) system is the dominant factor responsible for initiating scar formation in the eye and other tissues. We also have shown that the connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) system mediates many of the scarring effects of TGF-β. To develop gene-specific approaches that reduce the actions of TGF-β and CTGF, we utilize multiple approaches, including antisense oligonucleotides, siRNAs and adenoassociated virus (AAV) vectors expressing hammerhead ribozymes that selectively destroy the mRNAs for TGF-β and CTGF. At the other extreme of the wound healing spectrum are chronic (impaired) wounds, which our data indicate are caused by ischemia and the formation of bacterial biofilms that produce chronic inflammation and elevated proteases that degrade factors that are essential for healing. Dr. SchultzŐs lab is developing rapid, point-of-care indicators for assessing levels of proteases, nitric oxide (NOx) and biofilms in wound assessment and is involved in clinical trials testing new drugs that reduce inflammation, inhibit proteases, and promote healing of chronic wounds.
