Essential Oil for Eczema
Essential Oil for Eczema
My brother has suffered for years with a topical eczema, recently made worse by his lack of work and his wife's bout with cancer... I made a batch of calendula oil and salve , which I offered him to alleviate the itch exacerbated by stress. The virgin organic oil carries the healing properties of the calendula nicely on his skin and he has experienced relief at least on a temporary basis from the awful torture...

Re: Essential Oil for Eczema
Wow. Sorry to hear about the stress for him, but awesome about the response to the oil. I've read about many oils being helpful, but heard little feedback -- as carriers: Tamanu, Coconut, Evening Primrose, Hempseed and Borage; Essential oils and CO's: Calendula, German Chamomile, and Sea Buckthorn. There are others, but these seem most often mentioned...if you've got any feedback or formulas too, please share! Thanks!

Re: Essential Oil for Eczema
I have mild eczema in the winter (dry type) and localized dermatitis in the summer if I'm working in my yard. The primary suspects being potting/gardening soil and the vinyl gloves I was using. I've noticed significant improvement by changing to canvas gloves in summer and making sure to wash my hands with a very mild soap with tumeric. Then I apply a blend of , cajeput, chamomile, sea buckthorn, and myrhh in a base of jojoba oil. If I do get a rash, I mix the oil blend with activated charcoal or kaolin clay to make a soothing plaster, apply, and cover lightly with gauze. It dries things up and there is no scarring. Just as an experiment, I did not apply the blend + charcoal to one irritated spot to compare healing times. The section that I did not apply any blend to did dry up on its own in about the same time, but it itched terribly and I did have some hyperpigmentation after the rash cleared.
In the winter time I mix the same blend with shea butter or cocobutter and that works great for me. Dietary changes also helped me a lot. Making sure I do some avocados, fish or evening primrose oil in the winter has been very helpful.
Glad you could help your sibling!

Re: Essential Oil for Eczema
My son suffers from eczema, and it seems to be triggered by seasonal allergies. I plan on getting calendula in my next order, but for now along with the zyrtec, which does help though I am reluctant to rely on it, he loves the lavendar massage I give him after his bath, which has sweet almond oil as its base. I like using the sweet almond since it seems to be fast absorbing and nongreasy, and the lavendar also helps him to relax at bed time.

Re: Essential Oil for Eczema
There is more research on the positive effects of Borage Seed, I believe, than any other aromatherapy oil. Calendula is very potent, and needs to be diluted to less than 1% (this is direct from the distiller, who also makes the German Chamomile CO2). Other options are Blue Tansy (reduces skin irritation, and is used for seasonal allergies), Cape or German Chamomile (the first smells very nice, the second is very potent too, and need be diluted like Calendula), and Sea Buckthorn.
I've worked with naturopaths for a long time, and they would suggest taking steps to cleanse the liver -- that the skin is overflowing what the liver cannot process. Cutting out fatty foods and sugars, trying a supplement that's for liver regeneration, adding some superfood powders like Vitamineral Greens and/or Vitamineral Earth from Healthforce.com -- Oh! And I think they have the best liver regenerative formula on the planet...."Liver Force" I think it's called. Safe to use, and if he can swallow a capsule (I think all these come in capsules if desired) they may be best received that way, because Vitamineral Earth tastes like it sounds
The Borage seed oil can be ingested as well; it's anti-inflammatory when applied topically or ingested.
Eczema is a tough topic, because everyone seems to respond to treatments differently, and seems it should be approached both internally and externally for best success.
I hope this helps!

Re: Essential Oil for Eczema
I have been using Calendula for eczema & even tried a shampoo that is supposedly all natural & has Calendula as the main component. My scalp & hairline around my face is worse now. Is it possible to be allergic to Calendula? Everyone writes of how therapeutic it is, but I'm just wondering if I'm the only person in the world with an allergy to it. Any ideas anyone? I ordered the Calendula CO2, but am leary to try it after my head is so inflammed from the other calendula products.
I am highly allergic to alot of things. Recently had to change dressings on a wound 2x/day for a week, upon return check-up doc said--"guess you're allergic to the tape!" Also, I can't use the "unscented" and sensitive skin lotions, shampoos, etc that are on the mass market that dermatologists recommend because I'm allergic to masking fragrance (use to mask the chemical smell.) I was really hoping that there would be some essential oils that would help. Thanks for the advice.

Re: Essential Oil for Eczema
It's certainly possible you may be allergic to Calendula;
the distiller notes to use it at very, very low concentrations -- while others have had success with use of our Calendula at full strength, but for burns, not eczema.
However, have you made any other adjustments?
Dietary, lifestyle or otherwise? It may not be the Calendula "causing" the condition to be worse, it may be whatever IS causing the condition to still be in your system, or your environment.
As noted above, eczema seems a challenging condition. You may, if you're concerned about the Calendula,
give a try to topically applying and ingesting
Borage Seed oil
It would seem very unlikely to be allergic to, and it's the most thoroughly researched of all natural treatments (as far as I'm aware -- you can search
for "borage eczema" to see the studies). It really just supplies an essential fatty acid that, when deficient, often results in eczema -- and is otherwise highly anti-inflammatory.
Hope this helps!

Re: Essential Oil for Eczema
I hadn't even thought of dietary & lifestyle changes. I had emergency gallbladder surgery 5 weeks ago & am finally feeling back to my old self:) I also started my vitamins, supplements & exercise this week & am working on getting back to healthier more nutritious food choices. Never really thought about the coorelation, but I'm sure my body is out of sync. Went to get my hair cut since I posted above and the hair stylist looked at my scalp & said, have you been on morpheine? She said my scalp looked like the rash that her grandmom had when she had cancer & was on morpheine. Of course, that is what they gave me when they did surgery. So it could be the meds, etc. I think the borage oil may be a good thing to try. I usually take evening primrose as a supplement & just haven't taken it or any EFA supplements over the past month. Thanks for your reply!

Re: Essential Oil for Eczema
I would like to share that I battled eczema for many years - from the time I was in my single digits to an adult. My eczema completely disappeared when I eliminated dairy - this is what did it for me. As long as I stay away from dairy, particularly pasteurized dairy, I'm clear. I can't tell you how liberating it was to discover this. In fact, anytime I start to consume "too much" dairy, I experience skin issues, more so in the form of acne now - which is why I've recently eliminated it completely from my diet again, too see if it helps my mild to moderate acne.
I think it would be worthwile for you to experiment with this for a month or two to see if you experience any relief - if you haven't already.
In solidarity,

Re: Essential Oil for Eczema
I suffered from Eczem for years off and on with stress and/or dry skin being a factor in startup or worsening. There is this product out from Germany called SebaMed being introduced to the US by Costco. Used the face/body wash for one week - saw immediate improvement, After one month all of the scaling etc was gone. Now using the shampoo and skin cream. Before that I used avocado oil with a few drops of tea tree oil which helped reduce the itching and rash, but was not as effective as the Seba Med - the stuff is amazing. For really bad cases or psorr - they have a baby version which is very gentle. Good luck.

Cistus for Eczema
I have had eczema flare-ups on my hands for the past 8 years. My flare-ups have periods of EXTREME ITCHING and raised bumps which open up the more I itch.
I have tried just about everything and my conclusion is that the flare-ups coincide with periods of heightened stress and anxiety. I have never really responded to cortisones and I am proud of that actually!
I was SO EXCITED when I found Ananda earlier this year.
My first order included Cistus. This oil is so divine aromatically and seemed to help calm a flare-up when added to a base of shea butter.
If you've used cistus, you'll know that it is EXTREMELY intense aromatically and should be very diluted. This has been difficult because the oil (at least the batch I received?) comes out of the dropper very fast. Which, of course, makes it best to dilute in a carrier oil and add very little to aroma blends.
Anyone else have success with Cistus for eczema?

Re: Essential Oil for Eczema
Oh, have not heard of Cistus for eczema. It's a wonderful oil -- and for your blending, I'd really recommend getting some of the "mini-pipettes" instead of working with the orifice reducer (even with 3 sizes, it's hard to do precise blending straight from the bottle like that)...
It seems like it'd be a wonderful oil for "weeping" eczema; is that what you're using it for, or dry? And what are you finding in terms of results? There are just so many reasons eczema occurs in the first place, and so many oils that seem to help -- we'd like to put together something that helps people choose depending on their symptoms.
Also, have read a lot about Tamanu's properties that seem like it may really be helpful. It's anti-everything (anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory), and speeding of healing (statistically significant wound healing improvement times). We have no test subjects
and am very happy to hear from everyone your experiences. Note that for the next few days (till then end of Sun. the 18th) you can get a free bottle to give it a try with your order (

Re: Essential Oil for Eczema
Someone just told me about the apple cider vinegar treatment, thanks!
I'm just now seeming to get over a particularly bad flare-up and I made a blend with
virgin coconut, shea, and tamanu with essential oils of rose and helichrysum.
This blend ultimately did not help. I may have blended too many things at once to know what didn't work,
but I went back to my tried and true simple shea butter and Cistus blend and I'm finally starting to heal up.
Shea butter with Cistus! Swear by it for my itchy, weepy, flaky eczema!

Re: Essential Oil for Eczema
Hey! My boys have severe eczema and we have traveled as far down the traditional mess route as we wanna go. So now pursuing all natural healing. We have been only using Shea butter or coconut oil sometimes with lavender for over a year with not much relief. Obviously we are treating from the inside out through diet, etc but just ordered several oils including your super skin soother. Doe s this need to be diluted and would you recommend applying with Shea butter or coconut oil?

Re: Essential Oil for Eczema
My 4 year old son has been dealing with eczema (allergies too), starting this year. I've tried many things that helped a bit, but not enough- lavender, tansy, cocoa butter, roman chamomile, pycnogenol, etc. Eczema IS very difficult to treat. Though, I recently say a dramatic improvement after incorporating Norwegian cod liver into his diet and using a mix of cetaphil lotion with frankincense and myrrh topically. I think it is primarily the myrrh, as I have tried frankincense before without much improvement. Just wanted to share

Re: Essential Oil for Eczema
The best essential oils against eczema are:
Roman Chamomile
True Lavender and Spike Lavender
Tea Tree
Rose Geranium
Black Pepper
All these oils have strong antibacterial and anti-inflammatory qualities. They will help with tissue regeneration. They can also soothe the itching skin. Treating eczema with essential oils is not painful and it can have effects on the mood as well.

The report noted the theory of evolution and how Adnan Oktar's Atlas of Creation refuted this theory. In the report, it was stated that the newspaper devoted a special place to the article titled "A Major Conspiracy against the Theory of Evolution" in two full pages, and the interview with Adnan Oktar carried by Reuters news agency was emphasized. In the report, it was also stated that Adnan Oktar is a religious person who is against evolution, and that his Atlas of Creation explains the fact that species did not evolve since there is no difference between the fossils and currently living individuals of the same species.

That's why it's vital to collect these recipes before it's too late, says Jillian Phillips, a family recipe collector. Phillips recently went in search of her mother's Czechoslovakian cookie recipe. "I didn't even like the cookies until I couldn't have them anymore," she says with a laugh.
But preserving memories isn't the only reason to collect family recipes, says Pat Cornett, a food writer and former docent of the Longone Culinary Archives at the University of Michigan's Clement Library in Ann Arbor, Mich. "Family recipes are important documents in the genealogical sense," she says. "They preserve a personal part of our heritage and our pasts."

At one end of the Staples Center ice, the Kings suffocated the Nashville Predators on Thursday night.
At the other end, the Predators muzzled the Kings.
Scoring chances were few and far between. | PHOTOS
After trading first-period goals, the teams skated and skated and skated some more in search of an opening and a tiebreaking goal. They never got one, and it took eight rounds of a shootout before Sergei Kostitsyn scored to give Nashville a 2-1 victory in front of a sellout crowd of 18,118.
On one hand, the Kings were pleased with their defensive effort.
On the other, they didn't like their lack of offense.
The Kings got one point, but they believed they should have gotten two.
"Every point is important," said Kings captain Dustin Brown, who scored their only goal of the game. "You can look at it two ways. You got one point, but you want to get that second point in a shootout. I think if we limit our chances-against, it's good for us and we can build on that.
"I'd take that game most nights."
After each team scored in the first period, the Kings and Predators huffed and puffed but couldn't put their hard work in the corners and on the wings to good use. For example, neither team could get a shot on net for the first 5 minutes, 12 seconds of the third period.
The Kings went into the game looking for a third consecutive victory after starting the season with three defeats. Then they watched as Nashville's Brandon Yip beat goaltender Jonathan Quick with a harmless-looking wrist shot from the right faceoff circle only 58 seconds into the first period.
Brown scored his first goal of the season with the Kings on a power play at 13:08 of the first, whipping the puck behind Nashville's Pekka Rinne after defenseman Drew Doughty's deflected shot from the perimeter ricocheted off the glass and bounced into dangerous territory.
There was no further scoring in the first period.
Or the second.
The Predators seemed incapable of generating shots on goal, let alone quality scoring chances. They had four shots total after 31:35.
Here's a rundown: Shea Weber at 27 seconds, Yip's goal came at 58 seconds, Gabriel Bourque had one at 3:41 and David Legwand had another at 2:12 of the second.
Instead of taking control and seizing an opportunity, the Kings accomplished nothing of note during the Predators' shooting drought.
Instead of taking a lead and perhaps extending it, the Kings faced some of the same troubles the Predators faced in producing scoring chances.
The score remained 1-all after two periods, with the Kings outshooting the Predators 15-8.
"It just comes down to details, right?" Kings coach Darryl Sutter said. "They scored off a faceoff goal. Other than that, they had only three or four opportunities to score. We probably had 10. We're still not getting that goal from players we need to count on to score."
Enforcer Kyle Clifford joined skilled forwards Jeff Carter and Mike Richards to form an intriguing line combination for the fourth consecutive game. Clifford went into the game as the Kings' leading scorer with five points (one goal, four assists). He's still their top scorer this morning.
Clifford, 22, said playing with Carter and Richards was "a privilege." He went into 2012-13 with 26 points (12 goals, 14 assists) and 264 penalty minutes in 157 games in the NHL over two seasons. He had points in a career-high four consecutive games going into Thursday.

But for all the fantasies he devised, Levine, who died Tuesday at 83, was a realist.
I find myself mostly in the realist camp, looking hard at achievable goals and usable power.
Mugglemarch Ian Parker, The New Yorker J.K. Rowling writes a realist novel for adults.
Cozzens, largely forgotten these days, was a 20th-century realist writer in the mode of Theodore Dreiser.
But I assume its author would have been drummed right out of the realist Fiction Writers League.
More and more as a realist he devoted himself to the presentation of character at the expense of plot.
"They don't have much choice," Captain Feldman said, always the realist.
Whether or not realistic fiction shrinks from the unpleasant depends also on the particular nature of the realist.
In the first place, it does not mean that Greek art is what we call 'naturalist' or 'realist'.
What puzzled Philip was that this fabricator of "stories" for the newspaper should call himself a "realist."

Gammagard therapy offers hope for Alzheimer's patients
Although it's still in a testing phase, the first long-term treatment shown to halt the progression of Alzheimer's disease is being hailed Tuesday by experts at the Alzheimer's Association International Conference 2012 in Vancouver.
The treatment is an immune therapy called IVIG/Gammagard that has been given intravenously for three years to a small group of participants. The findings on the treatment, made by Baxter International, follow a frustrating nine-year research period during which no new therapies have been discovered for the incurable brain-wasting disease affecting 5.4 million people in the United States.
The participants did not show improvement in most of the symptoms of Alzheimer's they already had, but nor did they show any further decline on measures of cognition, memory, daily functioning or mood over the three years.
MORE: Q&A: Linking gait and sleeping with Alzheimer's
STORY: A person's gait could be early sign of Alzheimer's
Alzheimer's is a fatal illness that progresses slowly over years before wiping away personality, memory and cognition. No therapy on the market has stopped the deterioration caused by the disease.
"If the final trial is successful this will provide a direction for treatment,'' said study leader Norman Relkin of Weill Cornell Medical College in New York City. "The key thing right now is to find an Achilles' heel for the disease. The disease has to have a vulnerability."
In addition, researchers gave updates Tuesday on three trials that will test whether immune therapy might someday prevent the disease. Those trials will be done on participants who have no symptoms yet. Recent research done at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Mo., published July 11 in The New England Journal of Medicine, shows the disease starts changing the brain 25 years before someone shows symptoms.
"I think the importance of our findings is to show there's still a lot of excitement about immune therapy,'' Relkin said.
Gammagard is already approved by the Food and Drug Administration for treating other diseases caused by immune disorders. It is made from plasma donated by healthy people and is rich in antibodies. It can have side effects, including transmitting viruses. Results from the final Alzheimer's testing, underway on 390 participants, are expected in January and need to show safe and effective treatment before the therapy can be recommended for Alzheimer's.
Even then, Relkin said, Gammagard is in limited supply because it is blood-based and expensive. Monthly doses range from $3,000 to $6,000, depending on the person's body size. In the study on 24 participants, five participants who were initially treated with a placebo and then switched to the Gammagard declined in health while on the placebo. They experienced less rapid decline while receiving a full dose of Gammagard.
The participants who had the best outcome received Gammagard every two weeks for 36 months. They had no decline at the end of the three years.
"I think what Norm's study shows is we're moving toward a paradigm shift in how we treat the disease," said Reisa Sperling, professor of neurology at Harvard Medical School. "I think ultimately we will find a way to treat and prevent the disease."
The ongoing and future trials using immune therapies work in different ways, but they all target amyloid plaques, clumps in the brain. Amyloid clumps are suspected of damaging and eventually killing neurons. Find a way to attack amyloid, these findings suggests, and you might have detected the Achilles' heel.
The Gammagard therapy appears to work in two ways, Relkins said. It neutralizes the potential damage of amyloid plaques and appears to halt the damage inflammation can cause.
But it doesn't remove plaque and make people better once their symptoms have progressed too far. The starting point for the three other trials discussed Tuesday is when people are presymptomatic. The participants in these three trials have a genetic mutation and will likely develop the disease eventually.
Those three trials are: the A4 Trial: Anti-Amyloid Treatment of Asymptomatic Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study (Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston); the Dominantly Inherited Alzheimer Network — Therapeutic Trials Unit (the Washington University School of Medicine); and the Alzheimer's Prevention Initiative (Banner Alzheimer's Institute in Phoenix).
Bill Thies, chief medical and scientific officer for the Alzheimer's Association, said the results of several trials testing immune therapies on participants who were symptomatic when they started treatment are expected toward the end of the summer, but might be disappointing. He said some of the immune therapies target amyloid plaques just as statins target cholesterol forming lipids and help prevent heart disease. Statins were initially used only to treat people after they had heart attacks. Now, statins are among the most widely prescribed drugs in the world.
"There is a movement to treat people earlier for Alzheimer's,'' Thies said.
An ambitious new plan launched by the government in May calls for a prevention for Alzheimer's by 2025. That aggressive timeline might pan out, said Laurie Ryan.
"Given what we know now about the early changes in the brain 25 years out, we know therapy has to be administered early,'' said Ryan, program director for the Alzheimer's Disease Clinical Trials at the National Institute on Aging. "We're not going to have a drug the next day for Alzheimer's, but it could be sooner than 10 years if one of these trials gets approval from the FDA."

R. Kelly leaves door open for Jay Z reunion
Listen to R. Kelly on iHeartRadio | Listen to Jay Z on iHeartRadio
R. Kelly is leaving the door open for a "Best of Both Worlds" reunion with Jay Z.
In 2004 the pair had a falling out that cut short their "Best of Both Worlds" tour, and in an interview with Rap-Up.com, Kelly explains that it's possible the two could hook up again because they've already put out two collaboration albums.
Kelly adds that in the music business, "you just never know." The singer also plugged Jay's name when asked to list the artists he listens to while in driving in his car. Apart from "Hova," Kelly also says he frequently listens to Beyoncé and her former group Destiny's Child, Rihanna, The-Dream and Ciara.
R. Kelly's latest album, Black Panties, recently opened at number four on the Billboard 200 chart. In its first week in stores, the album sold 133,000 copies.

Application Analytics - Under Your Control
Managing anything without metrics is like flying blind. Without application analytics, you will miss quality goals, have higher maintenance costs, and lower customer satisfaction. With it, you can prioritize work based on actual usage patterns, identify, triage and resolve problems before your customers are seriously impacted and drive both hard and soft costs to a minimum.
How is PreEmptive's Application Analytics different than alternative products and software services?
- Built to measure and monitor the most demanding deployments and mission-critical scenarios.
- Cross-platform support including: .NET, WinRT, Windows Phone, JavaScript, Java, Android, Windows C++ and iOS.
- Monitors your applications across platforms and surfaces (web, desktop, mobile, cloud) using code injection and/or simple APIs.
- Includes essential security, opt-in and privacy features to meet compliance and other regulatory obligations.
- Is fully client controlled supporting privacy policies and regulatory compliance. We have zero access to your data.
- Built upon a modular, scalable and resilient architecture – supporting both cloud, on-premises and hybrid configurations – designed to work within your infrastructure – even as it evolves over time with your business.
- Provides both usage analysis and incident (exception) data and real-time alerts.
- Includes routing and distribution services which provides a great deal of flexibility including interoperability with other analytics services.
- For applications that cannot transmit data off site, it can be stored locally and, at a later point in time, be replayed into one or more application analytics solutions.
- For development organizations that take advantage of Microsoft Visual Studio, deep integration with Visual Studio will provide material ALM productivity and quality management advantages.

Graduate Programs
Graduate Programs
The School of Education offers graduate programs in the following: Master of School Administration (M.S.A.), Master of Arts (M.A.) in Mental Health Counseling, Master of Education (M.Ed.) in school counseling, and M.Ed. in education for elementary, middle grades, secondary, and K-12 vocational. We also offer an add-on license in School Administration, School Counseling, Pre-K licensure, Special Education, and (AIG) Academically and Intellectually Gifted.
The theoretical foundations for the professional education programs are derived from an ongoing study of individual and group aspects of human development and the philosophy, sociology, and history of education. While this study is concentrated in education and psychology, it is complemented by the breadth of the liberal arts experience in the core curriculum for undergraduates and by further exploration of the discipline areas for graduate students. The professional dimension of the program emphasizes problem solving techniques, communication and leadership skills, the mentor-protégé experience in carefully planned internships and other field experiences, ethical issues related to professional life, the role played by research, and the impact of varied contexts on educational endeavors.
Thus, the knowledge base that supports the conceptual framework for all the professional education programs can be defined as ten interacting domains, each one of which fosters the development of the exemplary educator as problem solver:
1. General education and discipline area knowledge
2. Ethics
3. Theoretical foundations
4. Diversity
5. Curriculum
6. Professional skills
7. Practice
8. Educational and information technology
9. Research
10. Assessment
The master's degree programs in the School of Education provide additional depth and specialization by assisting practicing professionals to relate theory and research to current professional practices, trends, and issues. Core courses in theoretical foundations, research, ethics, curriculum, and contexts under gird specialization in each of the licensure areas. Individualized projects, assignments, and field experiences allow graduate students to renew and refine existing skills and competencies while developing new ones. The ability to integrate information, knowledge from varied experiences and courses, and to apply the results in professional settings is emphasized.
During 1991 and 1992, a set of programs designed especially for bachelor's degree holders wishing to earn Initial license to teach and later the M.Ed. degree and advanced-level licensure was made available to prospective elementary, middle grades, and secondary school teachers of English, social studies, or mathematics, as well as to prospective K-12 teachers of physical education. Each of these three Initial license-plus-Masters programs is made up of three stages:
1. general education and methods courses,
2. the internship semester, and
3. remaining courses to complete the graduate major.
In 1999, the Master of Education program in Interdisciplinary Studies was initiated to provide an individualized degree program for persons not involved in K-12 education.
The area coordinator for the Initial-plus-Masters programs works with the Dean and the discipline area coordinators to formulate individualized plans of study for students in the programs; these individualized plans may require prerequisite course work. The Initial-plus-Masters area coordinator also acts as advisor for this group of students. Graduate study is more demanding than undergraduate study in the following ways:
1. The graduate student is expected to assume greater responsibility and to exercise more individual initiative;
2. More extensive and intensive reading is required;
3. Greater emphasis is placed on developing research and problem solving skills related to the student's professional role;
4. Class participation more often involves the integration of theory and practice; and
5. More instruction is provided in specialized areas.

Watch-in for MTV's 16 & Loved - Support Teens Sharing Abortion Stories
December 22, 2010
Set your DVRs and TiVos for Dec 28th at 11:30p EST to show support for the first abortion coverage for MTV's popular series "16 & Pregnant!"
WMC is hosting another virtual Watch-In on Facebook, that we're asking everyone to join and invite their friends. Why?
Because for the first time in three seasons of MTV's popular series "16 & Pregnant," and one season of "Teen Mom," MTV is airing stories of teens who choose to have abortions, called "No Easy Decision." Each episode reaches about 2 million viewers, so we need to ensure 'reality' television will continue to share stories of teens who choose abortions, as well as other options - Despite the backlash.
Women's Media Center urges you to show solidarity with Exhale, and to RSVP to LET MTV KNOW THAT KNOW YOU'RE WATCHING AND EXPECTING CONTINUED, BALANCED COVERAGE ABOUT ALL OF THE OPTIONS AND SUPPORT TEENS HAVE WHEN FACING UNINTENDED PREGNANCY and to show support for the brave teens who shared their stories for the show.
WMC's VP of Programs Jamia Wilson will be live-blogging and tweeting the "16 and Loved" special along with a team of bloggers including Jessica Valenti, Steph Herold, and Lynn Harris.
Join our conversation live on December 28th at 11:30PM EST. Follow the conversation live on Twitter with the hashtags #16andloved, #WMCwatchin, and #provoice.
Will you take a second to RSVP to our WMC Watch-in Facebook event, and then invite your friends? Thank you for your continued action! The WMC Team

Reincarnation Jutsu
Can this be classified as a reincarnation ninjutsu? The article says: "a person can temporarily reanimate a corpse and manoeuvre it at will with chakra" 188.8.131.52 (talk) 16:07, December 10, 2011 (UTC)
- That isn't reincarnation. The body is made to look alive, the soul isn't brought back.--Deva 27 16:10, December 10, 2011 (UTC)
Basically the corpse/body is alive but soulless(zombie) --Elveonora (talk) 16:15, December 10, 2011 (UTC)
Oh thanks for clearing that up both of you 188.8.131.52 (talk) 16:21, December 10, 2011 (UTC)
Medical Ninjutsu
I think it fits in the description of Medical Ninjutsu, since Kabuto even made surgical procedures in the corpses and used his knowledge of anatomy to execute this technique.--Spcmn (talk) 23:00, May 1, 2012 (UTC)
hard to say. i certainly see the medical aspects of the techniques but it's too hard to say. what do you other users say ?126.96.36.199 (talk) 23:07, May 1, 2012 (UTC)
More like necromancy ... but I see your point. Is not medical ninjutsu used for surgeries/healing procedures ? This is more like a kinjutsu even though the databook does not list it as so--Elveonora (talk) 23:12, May 1, 2012 (UTC)
It has more in common with Puppet Techniques than it does Medical Ninjutsu. Skitts (talk) 23:21, May 1, 2012 (UTC)
- Aye. More like an application of medical ninjutsu/medical knowledge like Shizune's posion mist and such. So I wouldn't go as far as to label it medical ninjutsu.--Cerez365™(talk) 23:23, May 1, 2012 (UTC)
@Skitts It indeed controls a body as a puppet, but the methods are different, it seems that the user doesn't need to directly manipulate the corpse. --Spcmn (talk) 23:50, May 1, 2012 (UTC)
- I didn't say that it was a puppet technique, just that it had more in common than it does with Medical Ninjutsu. Also, I'd like to point out that the surgery on the corpse(s) is not a part of the technique, but simply a way to enhance it's effectiveness; the technique itself is simply the manipulation of the corpses after restarting its heart. Thus, there really isn't anything about this technique linking it to Medical Ninjutsu. Skitts (talk) 23:57, May 1, 2012 (UTC)
Making the heart work once more sounds like something from medical ninjutsu--Elveonora (talk) 00:12, May 2, 2012 (UTC)

You have entered the only authorised Internet portal for the multi-media artist and spiritual guide Zeena. Her work as a photographer, graphic artist, musician/composer, writer, animal rights activist and religious teacher is informed by the Tantric and Typhonian traditions and her training in the discipline of Hellenic sacred drama.
This website contains biographical info and historical archival material about Zeena's life and career.
For Zeena's current artwork, writings and music, please visit our affiliate pages at ZEENA Art
Subscribe to Zeena's blog
At the age of 13, Zeena was introduced to Eastern mysticism when she was taught meditation in the single-pointed Zen tradition. In 1990, she was initiated into the left-hand lineage of Indian Shaktism under the guidance of a guru in Austria. Today, Zeena is a practicing Tibetan Buddhist yogini in the Drikung, Karma Kagyu and Nyingma lineages.
Zeena is Hemet-neter tepi Seth, the founder and leader of the Sethian Liberation Movement (SLM), an initiatory religious body inaugurated in 2002. SLM's Gnostic approach to the ancient Egyptian theurgic worship of Seth utilises the techniques of pan-Indian left hand path yoga to attain liberation for all sentient beings through communion with the most powerful of deities. Outside of SLM, Zeena teaches meditation and shamanic sorcery to private students of all religious denominations.
Zeena brought her life's work of building an authentic left-hand path tradition in the West to the general public through her influential book Demons of the Flesh: The Complete Guide to Left Hand Path Sex Magic, co-authored with Nikolas Schreck.
As former co-director of the magical resistance circle The Werewolf Order from 1988-1999, Zeena's musical compositions are featured on the Radio Werewolf recordings The Lightning and the Sun, Songs for the End of the World, Bring Me the Head of Geraldo Rivera!, Love Conquers All, and Witchcraft/Boots: A Tribute to the Sinatras. Her talismanic graphic artwork and coded cover design adorns all of the public and private Radio Werewolf and Video Werewolf releases she performed on.
In 1990, Zeena publicly renounced and exposed the fraudulent personality cult she was born into. Her ex-family and the remaining followers of her deceased con-man father reacted to her resignation by indulging in a typical cult-like character assassination campaign against her. Drawing on her own triumph over these and other dysfunctional family experiences, Zeena, a professional bereavement counsellor, founded SLM's public outreach program PHOENIX to help others in similar situations.
Since 2004, PHOENIX provides spiritual healing for victims of exploitative pseudo-religious organisations, former gang members, whistle-blowing ex-employees of corrupt corporations and governmental agencies, relatives of the violently mentally ill, and survivors of all forms of institutional abuse, including secretly abused children and spouses of prominent personalities.
In recent years Zeena has augmented her ongoing artistic work by transcribing various Buddhist texts for leading Vajrayana teachers and scholars. She is currently working on several solo recording projects. Between her teaching and consultation engagements, Zeena takes spiritual retreat twice a year to deepen her own meditative practice.
Acknowledgements: Thanks to Zeena for allowing us unrestricted access to her personal archive for this project despite her opposition to cyberculture. Gratitude to the dedicated volunteers at schreckinfo, Kaliyuga Clearing House, the Sethian Liberation Movement, and independent students and associates for the compilation of material for this website, and to our webmaster for web design and its maintenance. We appreciate your continued support of Zeena and her work.

A former Roman Catholic priest who spent most of his tenure in western Newfoundland has a plea date set for Aug. 25 on sex charges.
Bernard Buckle had his lawyer appear on his behalf in Stephenville Provincial Court on Monday when the time of the plea date was set. He faces three charges of sexual assault.
Buckle, who is now 81 years of age, was born and grew up in Corner Brook before being ordained a priest in 1961 in Corner Brook. After ordination he was appointed assistant priest at Stephenville, where he remained for eight years. In 1969 he became parish priest of Lourdes where he remained for 10 years. He then became parish priest of St. Alban's in 1979 and remained there for five years, after which he was appointed priest of St. Stephen's Parish in Stephenville.
Const. Justin Deluney of the Bay St. George RCMP would only say the charges against the former priest are "historical" and wouldn't give any further details, including where the alleged offences occurred or the age of the complainants at the time.

I've never experienced a vegetarian ganapuja in the DC. I have seen meals catered to food allergies though. If one is a recovering alcoholic then maybe it would be best not to drink.
I thought that was probably the case as ChNNR has a specific view on eating meat anyway. I've seen some of the retreats offer vegetarian food but I assume the transformation of meat in Ganapuja is the same as in Tsog.

What's Your Nightly Skin Ritual? Do You Have One?
Do you take care of your skin at night, or are you a bit of a slacker like me?
-April Daniels Hussar, sponsored by Simple Skincare
I confess — the ideal nightly skin ritual I have in my head does not always (often?) match up with what happens in reality.
My ambition: remove my eye makeup (I usually wear at least mascara), gently cleanse my face and neck, pat my skin, and then follow up with a rich night cream and some eye cream for good measure. Doesn't sound too taxing, right?
Too often a reality: I conk out, exhausted from the day, on the couch trying to watch a movie with my husband, or in my daughter's bed halfway through trying to read her a story. I manage to wake up long enough to drag myself to the bathroom where I peel out my contacts and brush my teeth, then I sleepwalk into my own bed. In the morning, when I look in the bathroom mirror, a very disheveled raccoon looks back at me!
The thing is — this sort of activity doesn't seem so bad when you're a college girl traipsing around until the wee hours of the morning. Everything, including your skin, is ever so much more resilient at that age, no? Alas, fast-forward a few (a lot) (is a decade a lot?) (yes) of years … and skipping too many nights of cleansing and skin care really takes its toll. Ug, especially in the winter!
One thing that does help inspire me to stick with a nightly routine are products that I like. I've been using the Simple Skincare line for about a month now — religiously in the morning, somewhat religiously in the evening — and I really like them, and the way they make my sensitive skin look and feel. When I see results, then I'm more likely to stick with it — I mean really, if I can make it in the bathroom to brush my teeth, another three minutes isn't going to kill me, right? RIGHT?!
Read How Does Stress Affect your Skin — And Your Confidence?
I love the Simple Kind to Skin Vital Vitamin Night Cream — it's rich and smooth without being too oily, and it's affordable enough that I feel like I'm not throwing away my daughter's college education by including my neck in the fun. (You do take care of the skin on your neck, right?! I have Nora Ephron to thank for my neck-skin-vigilance!)
I'm also a big fan of their Simple Kind to Skin Moisturizing Facial Wash. I am extremely picky — like, crazy person picky — about facial washes. I hate when they leave anything on your skin, but I also hate when they make your skin feel stripped and dry. But I want them to actually clean my skin so I can peer up close at it and not feel like it's still secretly grimy from the day. I am the Goldilocks of facial washes!
And for those nights that I'm really just too freaking tired to wait for the water to heat up (I mean, it's like at least 30 whole seconds!), or I'm a big fan of the Simple Kind to Skin Cleansing Facial Wipes. They do a good job taking off eye makeup too by cleansing, refreshing and nourishing skin. Swish, wipe, voila.
I do know that I need to be better about sticking to my nightly routine. I shall strive!
What about you? Do you have a nightly routine? What is it? Do you ever go to sleep with your makeup on, like me?

Picture this: It's been one week since the conference, and that promising potential client you encountered there is minutes away from meeting with you on your turf. The last time this happened with a different prospect, you had to ask him what he would like from Starbucks beforehand, then rush out to pick it up and arrive back to the office breathless, just seconds before your would-be customer walked in the door. Still out of breath, you shoved the cup towards him and blurted, "Here you go." It was already cold, and he wasn't impressed.
Now, the Alternative: Personalized Mugs, Travel Mugs and Steins
But this time, you know better. You decided you would never let that happen again, and you found a solution: imprinted mugs, travel mugs and steins from a reliable promotional products maker. Using their convenient, easily navigable website, you invested in a few dozen.
What does this drinkware look like? For prospects who maintain their own offices, you looked at glass mugs, ceramic mugs and bistro mugs before settling on a style and color you liked – imprinted with your company logo, of course. It's perfect for the professional who needs a mug to keep at work, and it reminds him of your business every time he uses it.
For prospects that spend much of their time on the road, you browsed through the selection of travel mugs and travel tumblers designed to hold hot or cold beverages. These promotional mugs, travel mugs and steins are also in a color that is conducive to your brand and marked with your company logo. Because this contact is always out and about, lots of other potential prospects will see his mug – and some of them just may ask him about you.
Custom Mugs, Travel Mugs and Steins are Your Drinkware Solution
Congratulations! You found a solution to the customer coffee cup conundrum: imprinted mugs, travel mugs and steins. Yes, steins! Depending on your type of business, they may actually be more suitable than a mug (that's up to you, of course). The important thing is that now, when your prospect walks through the door, you have a custom drinkware solution that will impress him the moment you hand him that personalized cup of liquid gold. And the best part is, when he asks where he should leave his mug, you can smile warmly and say, "It's yours." Whether or not he becomes a client, you won't forget the look on his face. That's what personalized mugs, travel mugs and steins are all about.

Promotional Products
Drinkware is a popular item to personalize and distribute for promotional purposes. Why? Because people consume drinks. A lot. In fact, people tend to drink from the same cup for days, weeks or months at a time. They rinse the cup out at work every day, then put it back on the shelf and re-use it for as long as they can. As a result, the same people can see your brand name on the cups they use every day for years – that is, if they are using your imprinted mugs and tumblers.
For that reason, personalized mugs and tumblers are one of the best promotional product investments you can make. While we don't have the numbers on ROI, there's a good chance they are substantial – and if more mugs were distributed, the numbers would be even greater.
Yes, there are plenty of great promotional products out there (that's why we sell them, too!). But no matter what is imprinted on the side, promotional mugs and tumblers are far more likely to become a staple in someone's routine than a t-shirt (not that there's anything wrong with promotional t-shirts!). A great personalized t-shirt is likely to be worn, but it will only be worn sporadically.
On the flip side, someone that uses your custom mugs and tumblers for his work beverage is going to see the name of your brand every time he reaches for a drink, all day long – again, for years. That's really why promotional mugs and tumblers are among the most common sense (dare we say "no brainer," even) promotional products you can distribute. National brands have been known to issue imprinted mugs and tumblers to employees and loyal customers, because they understand this.
Of course, you don't want to distribute just any personalized mugs and tumblers to your audience. You want mugs and tumblers that are made from high quality materials that won't crack the moment they fall on the floor. That means choosing a design with, for example, fusion acrylic on top and stainless steel on the bottom; these are the highest quality materials for hot beverage mugs. For cold beverage tumblers, there is the sleek design of an acrylic mug with test tube liner. Durable materials like these will ensure that the item lasts for years.
When using their custom mugs and tumblers, the people in your audience will see the brand name imprinted on the side every day for years to come. Do you want it to be the name of your brand on their imprinted mugs and tumblers – or someone else's? Think about it.

MARINE CORPS RECRUIT DEPOT PARRIS ISLAND, S.C. — The images stay with you for the rest of your life: Screaming drill instructors, in your face, in your space, in your nightmares.
All enlisted Marines are united by memories of the drill instructors who barked orders at them — morning, noon and night — for the first 13 weeks of their Marine Corps lives. They share the remembrances of dread when they incurred their DI's wrath. They know what it's like to fumble around trying to follow the simplest of orders, but be paralyzed with confusion and fear in the face of so much pressure and heat.
Boot camp is a rite of passage in which drill instructors forge recruits' identities as Marines. The DIs break them down, teach them how to follow orders and how to dress, speak and act like Marines. They teach them Marine Corps culture, heritage and traditions. The process creates a special bond, a love-hate relationship that the recruits will remember for the rest of their lives.
Those drill instructors have secrets, though. Like any other community in the Corps, its members have a shared bond and tricks of the trade that have been handed down for generations. Recruits don't hear about them at boot camp — not where it's likely that you'll get smoked with incentive training for simply asking a dumb question.
Under the wide brims of smokey hats, the perfectly squared-away uniforms and almost caricature-like demeanors are noncommissioned officers and staff NCOs from a wide range of military occupational specialties. They decide, often with some trepidation, to return to boot camp to fill a special-duty assignment.
Make no mistake: these Marines are playing a role. At its best, it's masterful performance art, but with a twist — the tremendous personal responsibility they feel for building raw recruits into disciplined Marines. Despite their gruff, borderline hostile interaction with recruits, DIs are real people with real emotions and tremendous dedication to molding young lives.
Marine Corps Times was afforded access to drill instructors at Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island, S.C., recently to find out some of the secrets behind successful drill instructors.
Here are 11 things drill instructors never want their recruits to know:
Boot camp elicits flashbacks.
Marines who come to drill instructor school have about a week of administrative processing before they start their classroom tasks — and they need that time to adjust, said Maj. Chad Craven, director of the East Coast DI school based here. The place has that kind of effect on them. Battle-tested sergeants, staff sergeants and gunnery sergeants re-enter the boot camp environment and regress to semi-recruit mode, he said.
"Now wait a second," Craven said he tells his students. "You've been shot at, you've been IEDed, you've been shelled, you've gotten married and have been there for the birth of your child, yet you stand here saying 'good morning' when it's obviously the middle of the night."
Sgt. Nicholas Lanier, a senior DI who recently wrapped up his three-year tour and headed to 3rd Battalion, 1st Marines, at Camp Pendleton, Calif., said going back to boot camp was a huge adjustment.
"Driving back to Parris Island was very, very odd," the infantry rifleman said. "I definitely thought I was going to get screamed at … and then everyone was so nice."
The 'frog voice' is real.
Drill instructors literally scream so hard at recruits that they can pass out, give themselves hernias, or do serious and permanent damage to their vocal chords. That's why they spend a lot of time at DI school learning to project from their diaphragms.
Even so, most DIs develop that raspy "frog voice." Losing their voice is inevitable, especially during the first phase of boot camp when orders are constantly barked. But at school, they try to teach new DIs how to prevent voice problems turning into something permanent, Craven said.
Still, they need to speak loudly enough for about 100 recruits to hear them, and that requires practice. Schoolhouse instructors will stand a set number of paces away from the Marines as they learn to project their voices, he said.
While they do lose their voices on occasion, they have become masters at getting it back fast. Craven said the treatment is similar to soothing a sore throat, including hot water with honey and lemon. But Sgt. Melissa Sandoval, a DI with 4th Recruit Training Battalion here, said some DIs get a little more creative.
She drinks hot tea followed by a cold drink, she said. But she has also tried pickle juice or lime juice mixed with salt.
"It's something about the vinegar or the acid in the lime juice," she said. "It helps the lining of the throat."
Laughing on the inside.
The screaming that recruits must endure might actually be masking a different reaction: laughter. Drill instructors think recruits do and say some pretty funny things.
Lanier said he was tempted to laugh nonstop while on DI duty.
"It's just the things recruits say," he said. "They'll think they're saying something so serious, but it'll come out so ridiculous and you just want to laugh."
Instead he'd scream at them for doing or saying the wrong thing.
Sandoval agreed and said she had to stop herself from laughing all the time.
"Recruits do crazy stuff, we'll put it that way," she said. "And sometimes you just shake your head. You have to just breathe and think of something else."
Staff Sgt. Juan Rocha, a drill instructor with 1st Recruit Training Battalion at Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego, Calif., said he's too busy to even think about laughing in the moment, but he and other DIs will swap funny stories about recruits later.
They channel their own DIs.
Putting on the belt and campaign cover transforms a regular Marine into someone he or she probably feared as a new recruit. Once they're in that role, however, they realize how much time and dedication their own drill instructors devoted to the job.
"I remember how perfect they were in my eyes," said Sgt. Richard Kennedy, a San Diego DI with 3rd Recruit Training Battalion. "I hope I'm as perfect in my recruits' eyes as they were in my eyes."
Sgt. Jennifer Thiroux with 4th Recruit Training Battalion here, said she recalls the way her DIs' hair was always perfect and the way they walked and talked. She does the same things now to set a similar lofty example.
Drill instructors also rely on each other to see what works and what doesn't, Rocha said. He'll pick up some of the language and phrases that other DIs on his team use if they're effective.
They miss their families.
Getting home at 2300 and heading back out to start the next day, sometimes as early as 0300, doesn't provide a lot of time to be with loved ones. There is a family readiness program here to help Marines and their dependents get through those three years.
Dependents can tour the DI schoolhouse here and see what their Marines will be called on to do over the course of their duties.
"We knew it was long hours," said Gunnery Sgt. Richard Brennan, a senior DI here with 3rd Recruit Training Battalion. "But sometimes it's harder because — while I'm not in Iraq or Afghanistan and she knows I'm safe — I'm still gone, and it's an adjustment for the spouses. They always want you there."
The schedule is demanding, he acknowledged. After running and screaming all day, he'll go home to his kids playfully smacking him in the face while he falls asleep at the dinner table.
The key, he said, is to approach the situation as a team. It's imperative to talk to your spouse about what you're going through, he said. Sometimes he dreams about boot camp and yells in his sleep for his wife to "get on-line," the same thing he's been telling recruits all day. It is important for her to understand what his life is all about.
"I think it'll help to lead to a successful tour here without distraction, and it's good for the relationship," he said.
What they wish they had known.
Marines considering drill instructor duty should know it's physically and mentally demanding. Most said they lose weight during the tour; they're constantly on their feet and running with recruits.
"I wish I would've known that," Lanier said. "I really had never felt tired or sore or anything like that. … You hear it, but you can tell someone all day long you're going to be tired, you're going to be this, but you never know until you get there."
It's also important to recognize that you're leaving your own MOS, a skill in which you are proficient, and picking up something entirely new, Sandoval said.
"You're learning," she said. "The more you train and do the new MOS, the better you'll get. You can't expect so much from yourself."
As a senior drill instructor, Brennan said it's his job to look out for other drill instructors. Just like recruits, drill instructors might not know their limits, he said, so he makes sure they don't overdo it.
They're turning you into a Marine.
Some Marines who hear about the addition of core values discussions and foot-locker mentoring say that boot camp should be more physically demanding. But drill instructors say their main job is not to prepare Marines for combat. Their job is turning civilians into Marines, and there's a specific process that has to occur in order for that to happen in a 13-week period.
The core values discussions help to establish a baseline from which all new recruits can adopt the Marine Corps way, Brennan said.
"There are kids who came up in areas that have no values, and to them, stealing or taking things that didn't belong to them was acceptable," Brennan said. "Others … already came here with those values instilled, but we still have to find that baseline to bring them together."
As a senior drill instructor, responsible for more of the values-based training, he said he has to find the best way to reach them all.
"I was an inner city kid, and now I'm dealing with a kid from the mountains, I'm dealing with a kid who came from the country," he said. "You've got to find it, you can't just try one way, you have to expand your horizons."
Squared away for a reason.
One of the primary lessons Marines in drill instructor school learn is that recruits will always be looking at them as they set the example of what it looks like to be squared away.
If they get sweaty or even the slightest bit of dirt on their uniforms, they should be going to change, Kennedy said.
"I have four copies of every uniform ready to change into at any moment," he said. "So if I go out and get a little dirty, I can go, change and come back out in 30 seconds."
Sandoval said in 4th Training Battalion there are about 64 recruits. About 60 of them will be doing what they should be most of the time, she said. But there will always be that one recruit looking around to see what the drill instructor is doing, so they must always know their appearance is on display.
Craven said he tells Marines at DI school not only to check their own uniforms regularly, but to look at each other as well.
"If you have a sloppy looking drill instructor in front of you, then over time that recruit — that future Marine — is going to say, 'Oh, I guess it's OK for me not to square away my uniform, I guess it's OK for me not to look like a poster boy Marine.' "
It's nothing but a basic Marine Corps standard, Craven added — not an artificial standard they create at the depots.
Combat-tested teachers.
Instead of relying on stories about Vietnam or Korea from past generations, the current crop of drill instructors can tell their recruits what it's like to be in combat, based on their own experience, and why it's important for recruits to learn a skill that could someday save their lives.
Sandoval said that became clear during the Crucible, the three-day-long final test in boot camp. When they did a night movement, recruits saw what she meant when she said any illumination could alert the enemy to their position. And during simulated gunfire, the recruits understood why they had to speak loudly.
"One recruit was trying to get the attention of another recruit who couldn't hear her over the sounds of grenades and shooting," Sandoval said. "So she said, 'Now I know why they're always telling us to scream.'"
They love ITing you.
Aside from their voice, drill instructors say incentive training is one of the most effective tools they have at their disposal when they need to get their point across to a stubborn recruit.
Not only does the repetition of the exercise help recruits learn, Rocha said, but they'll work harder in the future just to avoid it.
When DIs throw values-based training into the mix, that's when real learning begins, Thiroux said.
"So you can get ITed for having a zipper on the wrong side, because the drill instructor said it should be on this side and it's on the other side," she said. "So you say to them, 'Guess what, recruit? We know why the Marine Corps is the best — attention to detail. That's why we're the best. … [I]f we go off to war, that's what's going to get you, that attention to detail.'"
They like you. Kind of.
Drill instructors get to know their recruits on a very personal level and are proud of seeing them earn their eagle, globe and anchor. Spending so much time with a young, impressionable adult, and transforming him into a Marine creates a connection, Thiroux said.
"You're theirs for three months, and a bond is created," she said. "They're growing because of what you're teaching them, and you take ownership of it," she said.
Kennedy noted that some recruits are shy while others show up ready to be loud. The DIs quickly pick up on those traits, he said, which might surprise recruits.
"A lot of times I can look at a recruit and I can recognize when they don't want to push on," he said. "We'll watch them."
Knowing that he's having a significant impact on the future of the Marine Corps makes the job important to him, Brennan said.
"With the training we give [recruits] throughout this cycle and the core values that we put in them, and then my twist — the little bit of myself I put into it — I feel like I'm molding my future replacement so I can give back to the institution," he said.

'"In this whole league, it's groups of two that play well together. Whether it's (Tim) Connolly-(Jason) Pominville, Pominville-(Jochen) Hecht, Roy-Vanek," Ruff said Monday after practice. "Roy and Vanek have been together for long periods. When you take them away, it works for a little while. Sometimes, it spurs a little energy into your team. Usually, when you put them back together, that's when you get your gift. It's like, 'OK, we get to play again together and let's do the best with this.'"'
Can Vanek follow Roy's lead?

Treatment can help your child develop physically and emotionally. Your child's health care team will work with you and your child to ensure the best outcome possible. This sheet gives you tips on how to prepare your child for these important treatments.
Help your child practice good oral hygiene. This means making sure your child's teeth are brushed after every meal and flossed at least once a day. Your child should avoid sweet, sticky foods and juices.
Have your child's teeth looked at by an orthodontist. Talk to him or her about treatments your child may need in the future, such as braces or implants. This is especially important if your child has a cleft palate that affects the gum. The orthodontist can help improve how your child's mouth functions and looks.
Be sure your child wears any prescribed spacers or guards as instructed. They help with normal mouth function. Your child will likely need to wear these dental appliances for the rest of his or her life.
Cleft palate that affects the gum often causes teeth to grow in abnormally. Your child will likely need braces to straighten the teeth. Braces can be used to fix baby or adult teeth. Fixing the jaw and replacing missing teeth also may be needed.
Follow up with the pediatric dentist and orthodontist. Your child will need regular mouth care for the rest of his or her life.
Your child will likely begin speech therapy before surgery. Therapy will continue after surgery. Once the cleft lip or cleft palate has been repaired, the speech pathologist will help your child relearn where to place the tongue, how to say words, and how to swallow if needed. Expect your child to work with a speech pathologist until your child can speak well. Many children with cleft lip, cleft palate, or both, develop normal speech at about age 6 or 7 years old. But it varies, depending on the child and the severity of the cleft.
Help your child cope with social and emotional issues. Explain to your child that other children tend to react poorly to differences. Reassure your child that he or she has done nothing wrong.
Give your child a lot of positive feedback about his or her appearance. This will boost your child's self-esteem. Positive messages from loved ones also help your child face other people's insensitive words and actions.

Due West, S.C. - The Brevard Tornado baseball squad hit the road for the first time in 2009 on Thursday afternoon and came home with a loss, 10-5, at the hands of the Erskine Flying Fleet at Grier Field.
Erskine's Chachere Freeman (Columbia, S.C.) pitched seven innings, allowing just one run on five hits while striking out nine to pick up his first win of the season. Tornado starter Jacob White (Elkin, N.C.) allowed three runs in four innings and picked up the loss.
Bryan Fogle (Lexington, S.C.) was 2-4 with 4 RBI (giving him 30 in 12 games) to lead the Fleet. Stephen Mullis (Charlotte, N.C.) was 3-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored for Brevard.
The Tornados (5-2) got off to a good start, putting the game's first run on the board. Mullis led off the second inning with a home run off of Freeman (1-0) to put the visitors up, 1-0.
White (0-1) held the Fleet at bay in the first three and two-thirds innings, but Erskine teed off on the right-hander with two outs in the fourth frame. John Bolding (Pickens, S.C.) tied the game with an RBI single, then Shawn Glover (Columbia, S.C.) gave the home nine a 3-1 lead with a two-run homer.
Erskine (10-2) padded their lead with another crooked number in the fifth inning. With Bart Reese (Herndon, Va.) on the mound, the Fleet started the inning with a pair of base hits and then touched home again on a 2 RBI single from Fogle. The next batter, Chas Anthony (Pickens, S.C.), singled home Fogle to make the score 6-1, and Reese left without recording an out. Two batters later, with Jacob Koontz (Woodleaf, N.C.) pitching, Glover brought home Anthony on an RBI groundout and Cody McElhaney (Beech Island, S.C.) capped the five-run inning with an RBI double to give Erskine an 8-1 lead after five.
The Fleet tacked on another run in the sixth inning, off of Seth Laughter (Fletcher, N.C.). A sac fly from Fogle put the hosts up, 9-1.
Freeman left the game after seven strong innings of work, and the Tornados took advantage of the new pitcher, Alex Gilstrap (Easley, S.C.), in the eighth inning. With the bases loaded and no one out, Josh Miller (Hendersonville, N.C.) scored Matthew Pruitt (Hendersonville, N.C.) with a sac fly, and the next batter, Jason Merrill (Hendersonville, N.C.) tallied a sac fly of his own, scoring William Scholer (Norwalk, Iowa), to make the deficit 9-3.
Jackie Corn (Hendersonville, N.C.) followed Merrill and drew a walk, sending Gilstrap to the showers, and the next Erskine pitcher, Stephen McCormick (Anderson, S.C.) walked all three batters he faced; the free pass to Spencer Linn (Fletcher, N.C.) loaded the sacks, and walks to M.A. Dozier (Cumming, Ga.) and Brice Warner (Clover, S.C.) scored runs to make the game 9-5. But with the bases still juiced, Erick Guest (Easley, S.C.) struck out Pruitt to end the Tornado threat.
Erskine added an insurance run in their half of the eighth, with a run-scoring groundout from Fogle, his fourth RBI of the game. Guest kept Brevard off the board in the ninth inning to preserve the win.
Brevard begins South Atlantic Conference play with a doubleheader against Newberry Saturday at Gil Coan Field. First pitch is scheduled for noon. Erskine plays at Limestone Friday at 2:30 p.m. in the first of a three-game Conference Carolinas series.

The academic partners of CIO University are Carnegie Mellon University, George Mason University, George Washington University, and the University of Maryland University College. Each offers a curriculum focused on the learning objectives of the 66 Clinger-Cohen Core Competencies. Federal executives and industry counterparts share learning and real-life experiences in courses designed to allow the busy executive time for both class and work.
The Federal CIO Council first identified the core competencies in February 1997 and revised them in September 1998. During the fall of 1998, over 100 experts from the government, industry and academia met in nine focus groups to develop learning objectives that would detail the government's requirements. Ultimately, four academic partners signed on to deliver courses based on these learning objectives.
The CIO University's doors opened last fall. All four universities are accepting students into their courses. Individuals at the Senior Executive, GS-15 and GS-14 levels and comparably ranked military and industry officials are eligible to attend CIO University. All candidates must have executive sponsorship and meet the entrance requirements of the selected university. Upon the successful completion of the entire curriculum, graduates receive a CIO University Certificate in addition to any degree or certificate awarded by the university.
The goal of the CIO University is to produce a highly educated and skilled Federal executive workforce, effective in efficiently delivering services to the American public. For additional information, visit CIO University's Web site at www.ciouniversity.cio.gov or call (202) 501-0819.

Yep he was there in the changing room right up to about 2 fights before his then just disappeared without trace.
What a little fuckin bitch ass pussy what was point in that
I don't no why he didn't just not turn up for weigh ins rather then leave it so late
Was he not supposed to be fighting on the last M4TC? as Lee Cage but then also magically disappeared quicker than Debbie McGee!
Heard about this muppet from Ian Freemans facebook page as well. Its outrageous that the promotors chose to ignore Freemans advice against booking him on the show.
why doesnt someone set up a sticky thread on the forum for promotors to put guys like this into a list? would make it easier for promotors to quickly check who has previous for things like this before booking them?
Ive made sure that all the promoters I am friends with are aware of the Lee Cage situation.
They did pay all fighters including Lee before there fights but they do this as a sign of trust and Lee took advantage of this.
Disgraceful is all that can be said about it.
...and the bad thing is Lee will easily get booked again because he is definitely going to turn up as he needs the money, and will literally step in at any notice to fight.

Hopkins marks 12th anniversary of 9/11
(Cleveland) - Cleveland Hopkins International Airport held a 9/11 rememberance Wednesday morning.
There was a special moment of silence on the public side of security checkpoint B beginning at 8:30 a.m.
Officials with the Transportation Security Administration, Cleveland Police Department airport unit, Cleveland Public Safety department, U.S. Customs and Border Protection took part. TSA's Color Guard presented arms for one minute for silence at 8:46 a.m. -- the exact time the first plane struck one of the two Twin Towers in New York City 11 years ago.
The TSA's choir then sang "America the Beautiful" and the "National Anthem" immediately after.
The event was open to the public.
