Food is a family affair. And experts agree that how you and your family think and talk about food and bodies can have a big impact on your health now — and in the future.
Forget "forbidden foods." Being overly restrictive about certain "bad" foods can really backfire. The pressure to be perfect can lead to all kinds of unhealthy behavior. So be moderate. Plan for treats from time to time. If you make good food choices and have reasonable portions most of the time — you're doing great.
Don't use food as a reward, bribe, or punishment. This can lead to "comfort eating" — overeating when you're stressed — and other unhealthy behaviors. Instead, reward or motivate yourself (or your kids) with an activity: a trip to the park, a hike with a friend, a matinee.
Stay away from fad diets. Beware of eating plans that promise to help you drop weight, build muscle, or lose (or gain) inches in a "quick and easy" way. Such diets rarely work in the long-term — and they can be unsafe. Instead, build life-long healthy habits for eating and activity.
Learn about nutrition. Take a class or read a book on nutrition. Find out how different foods nourish your body. Be food-friendly, not food-phobic!
Grow it yourself. Start a garden in your yard — or in containers on your porch or windowsill. Growing your own vegetables is a fun way to get some exercise, bone up on biology, and share time with your family. It's also a great reminder that food is healthy and nurturing, not harmful.

Minister of State Kitt Announces Funding to Combat Forced Labour
"Forced Labour is a truly global problem and I believe that Ireland will strengthen the international and national efforts to combat it in all its manifestations" – Kitt
The Minister of State with responsibility for Development Cooperation and Human Rights, Mr Tom Kitt TD, had discussions in Geneva today with senior representatives of prominent international agencies and organisations. The Minister first met with the Director General of the International Labour Organisation (ILO), Mr Juan Somavia. Minister Kitt and Mr Somavia discussed the Partnership Programme run by Ireland Aid in conjunction with the ILO, which involves support valued at €3.6m. The Programme focuses on assisting disabled persons in the developing world with a particular emphasis on assisting women entrepreneurs (including those with disabilities), and with promoting disability legislation.
The Minister announced additional funding aimed at supporting the ILO in its efforts to combat forced and bonded labour.
Commenting on this initiative, the Minister said: "Forced labour is truly a global problem. Unlike the mass forced labour of the past century, most modern forced labour is exacted largely by individuals and enterprises outside national law, or by forced criminal elements, who trap persons into coercive labour conditions".
The Minister went on to state: "There is a real need for greater awareness of the issue of forced labour on the global agenda. The International Labour Organisation is well placed to address this scourge through research, awareness raising and programmes to tackle the structural roots of the problem. We are happy to partner the ILO in this important endeavour".
The Ireland Aid funded programme gives high priority to working against forced and bonded labour with non-governmental human rights organisations, including Trócaire and Anti-Slavery International.
In the course of his visit to Geneva, the Minister also held discussions with the Director General of the World Trade Organisation, the Executive Director of the International Trade Centre, the Secretary General of the International Federation of the Red Cross, the Secretary General of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), and a number of key representatives of other Geneva-based organisations. Among the subjects for discussion were the humanitarian challenges currently faced in Southern Africa, the Horn of Africa, Afghanistan and Iraq.

Columnist Lists Talks Drew Pearson Flaming "W" Hike Fakes cn Nev Glow The traditional Flaming "W" nike moved upward towards Mal-an's Peak Wednesday evening with a large crowd of energetic Freshmen and a smaller group of Sophomores, not to be outdone, following closely behind. For years it has been traditional climb to the peak, light the .W' with red flares, and then jog on down into Malan's Basin for not dogs and what-have-you. This year because of a slight drought and several fires on the hillside, e ectric lights, powered by a portable generator, were used. The trail proved to be as rugged as ever, but everyone managed to keep up a steady pace. Along the way, a skunk joined the group contributing to the atmosphere. The cold hot dogs tasted wonderful after the hike. Soft drinks were provided for those who didn't carry their own. It is certainly "oped that everyone was fortunate j " !i Top Washington reporter Drew Pearson will be the first attraction on the 1956-57 Weber College Lecture and Artists series. The title of his lecture will be, "Comments and Forecast on the Washington Merry-Go-Round."' The lecture will be in the Ogden High School auditorium on October 15. Mr. Pearson's colleagues admit that he is one man covering Washington who gets stories others can't get, and dares to print or broadcast what others will hush up. TIME Magazine wrote of Pearson: "His is the kind of journalistic vigilance that keeps small men honest and forces bigger men to work in an atmosphere of caution that frequently cramps their style." During the Hoover administration, an anonymous book, "Washington Merry-Go-Round," created a tremendious stir in Washington. The book was full of inside stories told on heretofore sacrosanct politicians and members' of society. When Drew Pearson and Robert S. Allen were revealed as the authors, both men lost their jobs. The two teamed up to write the daily "Washington Merry-Go-Round" column which has been published in the nations newspapers since December 13, 1932. In recent years Pearson has written the column alone. In 1917, Drew Pearson dipped into his own pocket to put up the thousands of dollars needed to get the "Freedom Train" rolling across the United States. Seven hundred carloads of food (worth $10 million), were collected for France and Italy. enough to get at least one hot dog, for it seems the planning committee failed to realize that so many strong-hearted individuals with empty tummies would make the journey. In spite of your solemn blister oath never to go again, we'll look forward to seeing you on the trail next year. v' v xrt Uradshaw, I rKoy Meeham, Mike Miller Cites Old Grads Weber College has an enviable reputation because of the high achievements of its alumni. Weber-trained people have excelled in many fields, and in so doing have brought honor to our institution. Weber alumni are always welcome on our campus. At this Homecoming season we extend to them a special welcome. We hope they will be able to attend the activities of the week and renew their acquaintance with former students, become acquainted with our present students and faculty, and examine the facilities on our new campus. William P. Miller, President. Doors For 1956 Students of religion at Weber College will return to a new building completed in time for students to enter this year. The classes in the institute will vary widely. Ranging from courses like Courtship and Temple Marriage to interpreting the Old Testament.The student who feels that extra study is needed for any of his Institute classes can find quiet and many reference books in the library. Students can sit and talk in the spacious carpeted lounge. The student who wishes to entertain himself while lounging can read one of the nation's leading magazines.Energetic and hungry students will find the large recreation area a paradise. The room, done in solid mahogany, with exposed rafters, gives a person the feeling that he is in a lodge. Provided in this room are lunch tables, checkers, table tennis, and subdued music. A modern kitchen is also one of the new features. By LARRY TOMLINSON Signpost Sports Editor Although new coach, Wally Nalder, expects to spring an upset in tonight's homecoming game, veteran Weber fans will probably sit back, proverbial tongue in cheek, and hope the sparsely manned Wildcat squad can hold off the Boise behemoths long enough to make a fight of it. A pre-game band festival featur-, ing top high school bands in this area will parade at 7 :45 with kick-off scheduled for S p.m. Coach Nalder is predicting a closer game tonight than many old-time fans would expect. If Weber happens to up-end Boise it would be the first time in ICAC history that a Wildcat crew ever beat the Broncs . Only once has the possession of the coveted Wooden Indian been in doubt. That was in 1918 when a good Weber team pushed Boise all over the city stadium, but had to settle for a 0-0 tie. The Wildcats have little to lose but plenty to gain in the game tonight. A loss to perennial powerhouse Boise would do little to dim Weber's already lusterless rating. But an upset or even a close game would do much to bolster Wildcat stock in the ICAC. Lacks Depth Although the current squad has been put through coach Nalder's rigorous training program and is in good shape physically, it lacks the depth at key positions to beat Boise. Boise, if past years can be used as guides, will bring a traveling squad over 45 strong. In retrospect, this is one of the smallest teams, numerically, in Weber history. Slightly under 30 Wildcats will suit up for tonight's first home game. However, coach Nalder's enthusiasm has been contagious and if spirit alone won football games Boise could leave the emblematic "Indian" here at Weber. Earlier this month Weber and a mediocre Snow College eleven fought to a sluggish scoreless tie at Ephraim. In that game however, two Wildcat backfield starters went out on injuries early in the game and the offense bogged down considerably after that. Weber kicked away some good scoring opportunities during the entire game, according to coach Nalder. "We got down within their 20- Several new staff members, who were introduced by President William P. Miller at a recent faculty meeting, are Mary Ann DeMoss, Nelda Hansen, Bill Henrie, Marvin Peterson, and T. Leonard Rowley. Replacing Carol Tribe in the Home Economics Department, Mary Ann De Moss comes to Weber after studying at several California universities and at the Carnegie Institute of Technology. Before coming to Weber she was an assistant home economist assigned to the University of California Agricultural Extension Service. Nelda Hansen, a new member of the Weber College library staff, studied at Utah State Agricultural College, where she also worked as a Junior cataloger in the library. To help solve the many problems posed by expanding night classes, Marvin Peterson is assisting Wen-del Esplin in coordinating Weber's night school program. Marvin also attended the Utah State Agricultural College. Bill Henrie, who has replaced Ed Viett; in secretarial training, attended the B.Y.U. and is at present working on an advanced degree at Oregon State College. T. Leonard Rowley, who is instructing in Weber's reading pro yard line twice and couldn't score," he said. "Then two boys got nervous on passes and dropped a couple that could have gone all the way." "Five 15-yard penalties in that game didn't help us much either," he added. Good Record Last year coach Nalder was back-field coach at Brigham Young University and the four years before he coached at Eastern Arizona College, Thatcher, Arizona. In his final season at Thatcher. Nalder coached the Gila Monsters' to tenth ranked junior college in the nation. Last year, without Nalder, the Monsters turned into pussy cats and lost ten straight. Although some corners regard this year's eight game schedule, which includes, Compton, Phoenix, Mt. San Antonio and Boise, as suicidal for Weber's inexperienced team, coach Nalder is in favor of and will defend it vehemently. He feels that an athelete never leams to play his best against mediocre competition. The game tonight should be worth the price of admission to local citizens and the time of Weber's 2,700 students, if only to see what coaches Nalder, Ray Rhead and Trainer Earl Miller will throw at the Broncos'. Also, Boise has probably hired a lake to practice in. Every time the Idahoans' come to Ogden for a game, it rains and the football field turns into a mire. Probable starting line-up for Weber is: Ends, Pace and Simmons; Tackles, Post and Carter; Guards, S. Taylor and Orell; Center, Ficklin; Quarterback, Meeham; Halfbacks, Faulkner and Halverson; and Fullback, Evans. The rest of the schedule is: October 12, Compton at Weber; October IS, Weber at Dixie; October 27, Ricks at Weber; Nov. 2, Weber at Phoenix. Arizona; November 10, Weber at Eastern Arizona; and November 17 Weber at Mt. San Antonio. gram and in the English Department, studied at B.Y.U. He was a former Weber High School teacher, and a lot of student fans have followed him to Weber College. KAHGAROO COURT SETS HARD FINES Somewhat sorrowfully for the Frosh of Weber, the annual Kangaroo Court was held in the Moench Auditorium last Friday. Judge Larry Chandler furnished the questionable authority for the occasion. Others among the vengeful little crew were the chief executioners, Bob Grondel and Pete Sawyer, who carried out -their varied tasks with fiendish glee. Among these tasks were the painting of two girls' legs, the dyeing of Judy Taylor's hair green. The legs were cut out of Gary Layne's new levis, but Gary, in the spirit of good sportsmanship, showed up at the dance that evening, wearing his radically altered trousers.

|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

The 2010 BRES estimates within this release have been adjusted to take into account the discontinuity that exists between the BRES 2010 and 2011 estimates, allowing a full comparison to be made with the 2011 BRES estimates. They correspond to the high level estimates for 2010 contained within the 2011 BRES statistical bulletin published on 28th September 2012.
However, since the 28th September estimates were released, a minor error was found in the way that the discontinuity adjustment was made, and so the estimates in this release include the correct adjustment, and will therefore not give an exact match with those previously published. The difference in the estimate of total employees between the two sets of results is only 5,000.
The 2010 data within the 2011 statistical bulletin has been amended. For further details of the changes that have been made, please contact the BRES team (firstname.lastname@example.com).
An analysis of the discontinuity that exists between the 2010 and 2011 BRES estimates can be found in the Guidance and Methodology section of the National Statistics website.
BRES provides a rich dataset from which small area analyses can be derived at varying industrial and geographical levels.

|Community Partners
At Renown Institute for Cancer, we believe in the power of partnership. And we know that the best way to accomplish our community outreach initiatives is to work with other non-profit organizations. We work alongside many outstanding organizations including the University of Nevada School of Medicine, with whom we prepare the physicians of tomorrow. We also join the American Cancer Society in their efforts to raise money and awareness within our community. In addition, we team with Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation in their fight to defeat breast cancer.
University of Nevada School of Medicine
The large majority of all clinical teaching in northern Nevada happens here at Renown. We have two outstanding attending oncologists in Dr. Antonio H. Fontelonga and Dr. F. Roy MacKintosh who oversee the efforts of internal medicine residents rotating through our medical oncology unit. And in fact, we are the only facility where fourth-year medical students have the resources to study the many aspects of radiation oncology.
American Cancer Society
Renown continues to enjoy its relationship with the American Cancer Society (ACS). As the hospital that houses the only on-site ACS office in the state, we're in a unique position to help bring charity events to our community. This year, we again teamed up to sponsor Relay for Life, an event designed to celebrate survivorship and raise money to fight cancer. Renown was proud to cosponsor the survivor dinner along with Outback Steakhouse.
Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation of Northern Nevada
Renown is a proud participant in the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation's Race for the Cure. In 2008, The Renown Racers showed support for the cause with more than 100 team members. We are the fortunate recipients of a Komen Foundation grant that helps fund transportation, temporary lodging and nutritional supplements for rural breast cancer patients.

Rated 4.4 out of 5�by 22 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by Torrant Great blade This is a very durable knife. It holds an edge well and rarely needs sharpening. Fits comfortably in my pocket. Opens rapidly with or without the button. Only bad thing I have noticed is there is a small rattle when the safety lock is off. It is very silent when the lock is on. September 16, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5�by DavidL Nice knife but over priced The only reason I bought this knife from Dicks was I got a gift card for my birthday. The knife was over priced. I would have otherwise bought it from Amazon. July 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by G-Dog A knife that once you own it you won't want anything else Great knife once you own one there will never be another one in your pocket. As long as you keep it clean it will never fail you! The spring assist makes it one of a kind. July 18, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by CaliCraze great knife I've had this knife for a good moment now and it is a great tool. Great size good weight the only complaint I have is the lock becomes loose over I while of time but it still locks and won't come undone I love this knife July 15, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by mike nice knife I bought this knife three weeks ago, it is a nice knife, very sharp. I have been looking for a smooth edge medium size blade for months, handles nicely, and the safety latch is very effective stopping unintentional openings. June 19, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by A-DUBYA MAGIC!!! I like the double-locking blade, and the light touch it takes to have a sharp piece of steel for whatever use it is intended for. Clearly meant more as a self defense weapon than an everyday tool. Clever design; June 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by jason Good knife for the money Spring and lock both work well. Good weight and feel. Didn't want to drop $200 for a knife like a lot of my friends have. Solid knife that will get the job done for 1/4 the price. May 13, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Naps Great knife Very great knife. Very useful for hunting and outdoors April 16, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by D.W. Good if you like a beefy knife. Make sure you use the lock or it can open by accident in your pocket.Good EDC knife but not for the Bush, as the steel is not made with higher quality steel. March 11, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Karl Nice Knife!!! I first saw this knife when a friend purchased one. They had the serrated version, I had to look pretty hard to find the non-serrated version - just a personal preference... It's a nice knife, I have had it for a few weeks now. The safety lock sometimes, slides on its own, allowing me to accidentally open the knife in my pocket... Nothing overly dangerous, just kind of annoying. The knife is fairly rugged, i would place it right in the middle of the scale for ruggedness. Overall, I am pretty happy with it!! Kudos for Dick's sporting goods for being the only company around that carried it!!! March 11, 2014

I'm wondering who is having a baby shower and who arnt? This is my third so there isn't a whole lot we need and I still haven't decided if I was going to CD or use sposies! If you arnt having a shower are you gonna do something different??
I'm wondering who is having a baby shower and who arnt? This is my third so there isn't a whole lot we need and I still haven't decided if I was going to CD or use sposies! If you arnt having a shower are you gonna do something different??
My first shower had been planned on June 7th....which was going to be a combo of gender reveal, my birthday (which is actually the 6th) and our anniversary (the 10th)....but it has been delayed because DH's grandmother will not be able to make it because she is having surgery....so we are having a little get together on the 8th for my family....which is still gonna be a combo of each. I have a feeling I will have several showers....1st grandchild on both sides....one for DH's side, one for Mom's side...one for Dad's side...(not a good idea to combined these two) and probably one for work (a coworker has insisted that she be able to do it), and a friend's shower.....but I don't know if all of those will pan out...........
Ever since we found out twins everyone is oooing and aaahing about throwing me a shower. I bought two pair of pajamas today and my mom yelled at me for it lol but they were on clearance! And I got one girl and one boy pair because I really feel like I have one of each in there! Its becoming a lot more common to have showers after your first child. Except they call them "sprinkles". Cute I thought.
Yeah, I really like the "sprinkle" theme because I feel that every baby needs to be celebrated. With having our 3rd boy, there's basically nothing that I need. I doubt anyone will throw me a "sprinkle" unless my BF does it, but I would basically be piggybacking off of all of her friends (she really likes to have parties and I've become friends with her other sets of friends through those times, but they aren't really "my" friends so I don't know if that would be weird or not. I have seen them all during this pregnancy and everyone is super happy for me, so who knows ... just having a party to celebrate would be nice, no gifts required.)
No its my third too. So no shower. I may do a ladies night with some friend. My sis is expecting her first and I'm throwing a huge shower for her. I don't want to take her spotlight away.
Oh but my church may do a "diaper and gift card pounding" where people just leave diapers and gift cards for us. And I will get three weeks worth of meals from church when baby is here and usually people bring small gifts and money too.
We went to the same church for 13yrs and they gave us a shower with every baby I had while we attended there . We moved a couple years ago though, so I'm not expecting one .
I have some gender neutral newborn-size clothes and I'm all set for a boy, but if we have a girl I'll have to do some shopping within a few weeks after she's born, depending on her size. I'll likely purchase a few baby girl clothes from Kohl's to have on hand, but keep the tags on so I can take them back if we have a boy (Kohl's has no time limit on their return policy).
If someone throws one for me, I'll do it. If not, I'll be okay. We got rid of everything with the first two because we have a small house and just didn't have anywhere to store it. My first one, none of my friends showed up. It was still wonderful, but I was upset that it wasn't the big "party" to celebrate.
Chiming in (not PG) if you don't mind with my 2nd child I didn't have a shower because I get anxious at parties for me but, I feel like a baby is a celebration no matter what and if I would have done over again I would have allowed for my step mom or MIL to do a small shower for me but, make it causal and not register anywhere. I would just enjoyed some cake, games, and friends gathering to celebrate the pregnancy and soon to be baby. So I vote yes, go for it.
Agree with Elle, I just really want diapers from the shower! Maybe my Mom can put that on the invitation or something. Diapers and a few other must haves. I saved everything from DD, so if there is a boy in there I guess I will need some clothes though....
Ive always wanted a baby shower and never got one, spent months hinting and nada, since this is likely the last baby for me and weve had a rough go..i want a shower, i want to bake cakes and make a little lunch buffet and have people play games, i dont care much about gift receiving, i want to celebrate the little life im carrying..so today i decided i will throw my own shower, praying someone comes or i will likely be a sobbing mess and i just ordered invitations from tiny prints for late august ...fingers crossed i can throw myself the shower baby deserves
There you go, take matters into your own hands! It'll be great :-)

The Massachusetts Gaming Commission has denied four requests for extensions following Tuesday's deadline for phase one applications.
Good Sam's Casino, WM Development Company formerly known as Paper City Development, The city of Chicopee and The Seafan Trust all filed for those requests for waivers.
During Thursday's meeting, the Commission outlined the criteria in which it would consider granting an extension. After evaluating each request for waiver separately, the commissioners decided that none of the reasons provided were sufficient enough for them to vote in favor.
Holyoke Mayor Alex Morse sent a letter directly to the gaming commission prior to the meeting voicing his disapproval of the extension pertaining to his city. After the ruling he released a statement which reads in part:
"This is great news for Holyoke. I look forward to shifting the conversation towards one that focuses on regional cooperation and regional mitigation, as a casino in Western Massachusetts will affect all of us..."
CBS 3 reached out to Mayor Michael Bissonnette who said, "I remain intrigued by the Cabotville fight and welcome serious discussion with any qualified developer/operator. Such a transformative waterfront project in an urban setting that brings jobs and revenue will always merit my attention."
There are now 11 applicants moving forward in the state's casino process. In Western Mass Mohegan Sun, Hard Rock International, MGM and Penn National Gaming are in the running.

Hot Japanese girls are such filthy freaks, it's always fun to check what they are doing. In today's blog post we see two horny Asian sluts doing public masturbation. They are completely naked and playing with their pussies while strangers watch in complete astonishment. What will these whores do next? They don't care that random people are watching; in fact, I think they get turned on by the fact that public masturbation means everyone who passes by is going to see you. Porn this hot always gets my blood flowing. Thanks for the hot pic!
Sexy Japanese sluts seem to have a thing for touching themselves in public places. Here we get our look at amazing Japanese Masturbation footage that shows a hot Asian slut playng with her pussy on camera while people just watch in amazement. How can this be going on? Why isn't anyone doing anything to stop this indecent display? Maybe it's because we love watching hot Japanese girls masturbate in public.
Japanese Grocery Shoping And Fucking
Where the fuck are all these kinky stores? Where can I find these places where cute Japanese girls perform in public sex with clients watching while they do their shopping. It's so nasty and fun you will hardly believe your eyes. Here we see a horny Japanese store worker getting fucked from behind in the of the aisles. It's ridiculous! These breathtaking Asian whores will do anything for cock and a little bit of attention.
Japanese Girl Fucked On The Train
All kinds of crazy things happen where Japanese girls are involved. Even on a train packed full of people, you will find one of these amateur public sex loving sluts pulling up their skirts and letting some random guy fuck their tight Asian pussy. Japanese girls are the freakiest, and that's why we love them! It does not matter what time of day it is or where these bitches bet at, you will get to see some sex in public and it will always feature a cute Japanese chick.

It was February when Kenneth West a now retired Houston police officer expressed his outrage here on FOX 26. He concealed his identity to protect his family.
West says, "Did I ever expect him to be free? No, I didn't expect that particular individual to get out of prison."
West is talking about 41 year old Robert Earl Jackson, the man who was convicted of shooting West multiple times during a police disturbance call.
Jackson was sentenced to two 99 years sentences but was out in 21, leaving West concerned if the man who almost took his life deserved to be released so early.
"If the person is not safe to be out in the public what's the alternative," says West.
That leads us to the Montgomery County Courthouse where Jackson was in court Wednesday. He's accused of violating his parole and a judge held a revocation hearing, but that wasn't the biggest news to come out about Jackson.
Ray Hunt with the Houston Police Officers' Union was in that courtroom.
Hunt says, "He must've impregnated someone while he was in prison and that person did testify today she wanted to have more children with him."
Wait a minute - hold up - did you hear that? Hunt says information was revealed in Jackson's parole hearing that somehow a man who was serving two life sentences was able to have relations with his girlfriend. That woman, who was not a prisoner, became pregnant according to Hunt.
How is that possible when the Texas prison system doesn't allow conjugal visits?
"Sources tell me he impregnated her while he was in prison that there was some dirty guards and he was able to have sex with his girlfriend in prison and now he has a 9 year old child even though for the last 23 years he's been in prison," says Hunt.
The department of corrections tells FOX 26 news they're looking into the allegation and could pass it on to the Office of Inspector General.
But is it hard to believe a man behind bars could be allowed to get someone in the free world pregnant?
Let's call Carlton Harris an expert. He says, "I've seen where correctional officers have allowed for the inmate and a significant other to go into a restroom for a certain period of time."
Harris has long since turned his life around but he spent six years in prison for drug dealing. He says whether it's sex or drugs - there's nothing you can't get behind bars including a woman pregnant.
"If you have money you can basically get anything you want in there because you always find someone who is unethical who compromise," says Harris.
Did that happen with Robert Earl Jackson? State prison officials now want to know and so do those who say he doesn't deserve a second chance on parole.
"He didn't follow the rules while he was in prison and he's not following rules since he's been out of prison," says Hunt.
In the meantime, Jackson will know in a matter of weeks if he will be able to stay out on parole. He's currently being held at the Montgomery County jail for his parole violations.

Gov. Pat Quinn says tax incentives to draw big film productions to Illinois have paid off, leading to a record $184 million in spending last year by production crews.
"We believe in making movies and shows in the heart of the heartlands," Quinn said.
Scenes in the book-turned-movie include Chicago landmarks like Navy Pier's Ferris wheel, Millennium Park and Michigan Avenue, and Quinn said "Divergent" created thousands of jobs in Chicago.

Three decades after he tied her up and raped her, a victim finds peace knowing her attacker will likely spend the rest of his life behind bars.
Charles O'Howell, already serving 55 years for another rape, learned Tuesday he'd spend another 25 years locked up.
Tuesday he pleaded guilty to forcing his way into a Cape Girardeau woman's home in 1981 and raping her.
Linda Propst Dedert says she lived in fear for decades. Fear that her attacker would return and kill her.
That is until she learned in 2011 that DNA taken 30 years earlier had linked O'Howell to the crime. And unbelievably to her, he'd spent most of those years locked up.
Wednesday, she shared the terror that she felt when he forced his way into her home, and the relief of knowing he can't hurt her, or anyone else ever again.
"It was like looking over an endless pit, and that's when I thought this is it," said Dedert. "I thought I was gonna die."
She was living alone on Main Street in Cape Girardeau.
"Of all the places for it to happen in your hometown, a small town," said Dedert.
It happened in November of 1981.
"Somebody knocked at my door and it was a young man who said he had car trouble and wanted to use the phone," Dedert said.
Dedert remembers the man, who had a boyish teenage face. She asked for a phone number and told him to wait. But when she turned, her visitor made his move.
"He yanked the door open and busted in," said Dedert. "And grabbed me by the front of my shirt and stuck a knife in my throat."
Court papers detail the terrifying rape, and the moments that followed.
"You couldn't fight, there was nobody around for help," said Dedert. "He had a knife, I had nothing."
Dedert was tied up with a vacuum cleaner cord. And, before the young man left he told her if she should ever tell anyone about him, that he would kill her. She believed him.
"I had no reason not to," Dedert said.
However, She had no plans to stay silent.
"It wasn't hard, only for a second did I wish it had never happened and then I knew I had to tell police," said Dedert. "There was no other thought in my mind that I had to do this."
It took almost 30 years, but finally Dedert learned investigators found a match to DNA evidence taken right after the crime.
It was all thanks to a tracking law that requires anyone arrested for a felony or misdemeanor sex offense to be put into a statewide system.
Investigators discovered Charles O'Howell was a DNA match.
"He had been in prison almost the whole time, which was wonderful, but I didn't know that," said Dedert.
O'Howell was already serving time for the kidnapping and rape of a 15-year-old in 1982.
On Tuesday, O'Howell pleaded guilty to assaulting Dedert and a judge sentenced him to another 25 years.
"Hopefully he will never walk the streets again," Dedert said.
Dedert says she's sharing her story to give other victims hope.
"Try to get the courage to get help because otherwise the rapist has won," adds Dedert.
Cape Girardeau County Prosecutor Morley Swingle says that DNA data base helped connect another suspect to a 1980 rape. Investigators made the match on that pending case just last week.

SEATTLE (AP) — The chairman of the National Transportation Safety Board said Saturday the bridge collapse in Washington state is a wake-up call for the nation.
"This is a really significant event and we need to learn from it, not just in Washington but around the country," Debbie Hersman said after taking a boat ride on the Skagit River below the dramatic scene where a truck bumped against the steel framework, collapsing the bridge and sending two vehicles and three people falling into the chilly water.
Investigators need to find out what happened in Washington and if it could be repeated at similar bridges around the country, Hersman said.
"At the end of the day it's about preventing an accident like this," she said.
Her team will spend a week to 10 days looking at the bridge, talking to the truck driver whose vehicle hit it, and examining maintenance documents and previous accident reports.
Other over-height vehicles struck the Skagit River bridge before the collapse on Thursday, she noted. Investigators are using a high tech 3-D video camera to review the scene and attempt to pinpoint where the bridge failure began.
Hersman does not expect the investigation to delay removal of debris from the river or work on a temporary solution to replace or repair the I-5 span. State and federal officials can, and will, work together on the investigation, she said.
They'll be watching for safety issues that could affect other bridges.
"The results can be very catastrophic," Hersman said. "We're very fortunate in this situation."
Washington state officials said Saturday that it will take time to find both short- and long-term fixes for the bridge that collapsed on Interstate 5.
While, the National Transportation and Safety Board finishes its inspection, state workers will begin removing debris from the river. Next, a temporary solution will be put in place to return traffic to Washington state's most important north-south roadway.
Inspectors are working to find out whether the disintegration on Thursday of the heavily used span over the Skagit River, 60 miles north of Seattle and 40 miles south of the Canadian border, was a fluke or a sign of bigger problems.
"These things take time. We want to make sure it's done right, done thoroughly," Washington Transportation Department spokesman Bart Treece said.
A trucker was hauling a load of drilling equipment Thursday evening when his load bumped against the steel framework over the bridge. He looked in his rearview mirror and saw the span collapse into the water behind him.
Motorists should not expect to drive on I-5 between Mount Vernon and Burlington for many weeks and possibly months, Treece said.
Treece asked people to plan for an extra hour to make their way through detours around the collapsed bridge. There are three detour options northbound and two options southbound.
About 71,000 vehicles use that stretch of highway every day. Late Saturday morning, traffic was moving freely through the detours.
"We're expecting it to get worse as the day progresses," Treece said, noting that at 11 a.m., the cloudy skies and cool weather could be keeping Memorial Day weekend travelers at home.
State transportation officials began working on both a temporary solution and a permanent fix within hours of the bridge collapse, he said.
The goal is to get I-5 open as quickly as possible, while making sure the solution is as safe as possible, he added.
Officials were looking for a temporary, pre-fabricated bridge to replace the 160-foot section that failed, Gov. Jay Inslee said Friday. That option could be in place in weeks. Otherwise, it could be months before a replacement can be built, the governor said.
Inslee said it will cost $15 million to repair the bridge. The federal government has promised $1 million in emergency dollars and more money could come later, according to Washington's congressional delegation.

Previous Coverage:
MOUNT VERNON, Wash. – The trucker was hauling a load of drilling equipment when his load bumped against the steel framework over an Interstate 5 bridge. He looked in his rearview mirror and watched in horror as the span collapsed into the water behind him. Two vehicles fell into the icy Skagit River.
Amazingly, nobody was killed. The three people who fell into the water escaped with only minor injuries.
Officials are trying to find out whether the spectacular collapse of a bridge on one of the West's most important roadways was a fluke – or a sign of a bigger problem with thousands of bridges across the U.S.
The condition of the nation's aging bridge infrastructure has been a concern since 2007, when a bridge fell into the Mississippi River in Minnesota, killing 13 people. About a quarter of the nation's bridges are structurally deficient or functionally obsolete, according to federal records, and an average of 25 bridges in the U.S. collapse each year.
Officials were looking for a temporary, pre-fabricated bridge to replace the 160-foot section that failed, Gov. Jay Inslee said Friday.
The spectacular collapse unfolded about 7 p.m. Thursday on the north end of the four-lane bridge near Mount Vernon, about 60 miles north of Seattle and 40 miles south of the Canada border.
"He looked in the mirrors and it just dropped out of sight," Cynthia Scott, the wife of truck driver William Scott, said from the couple's home near Spruce Grove, Alberta. "I spoke to him seconds after it happened. He was just horrified."
The truck driver works for Mullen Trucking in Alberta, the Washington State Patrol said. The tractor-trailer was hauling a housing for drilling equipment southbound when the top right front corner of the load struck several of the bridge's trusses, the patrol said.
Scott, 41, remained at the scene and cooperated with investigators. He voluntarily gave a blood sample for an alcohol test and was not arrested.
Scott has been driving trucks for 20 years and hauling specialized loads for more than 10.
The truck made it off the bridge, but two other vehicles went into the water about 25 feet below as the structure crumbled.
State officials approved the trucking company to carry a load as high as 15 feet, 9 inches, according to the permit released by the state. However, the southbound vertical clearance on the Skagit River bridge is as little as 14 feet, 5 inches, state records show. The bridge's curved overhead girders are higher in the center of the bridge but sweep lower toward a driver's right side.
The bridge has a maximum clearance of about 17 feet, but there is no signage to indicate how to safely navigate the bridge with a tall load.
The permit specifically describes the route the truck would take, though it includes a qualification that the state "Does Not Guarantee Height Clearance."
It's not rare for trucks to strike bridges in Washington state – it's just that such accidents don't usually cause the structures to collapse. The state Department of Transportation said there were 21 bridge-strikes involving trucks last year, 24 in 2011 and 14 in 2010.
Officials performed a special inspection six months ago of the bridge that collapsed because there were indications it had been struck by a different vehicle.
A report released Friday says the checkup was done due to "impact damage," and inspectors identified tears, deformations and gouges on the northbound side of the bridge. There are no signs leading up to the Skagit River bridge to warn about its clearance height. State Transportation Secretary Lynn Peterson said that under federal and state standards, the clearance is tall enough to not require signage.
Inslee said it will cost $15 million to repair the bridge. The federal government has already promised the state $1 million in emergency funding.
Traffic could be affected for some time. The bridge is used by an average of 71,000 vehicles a day, so the roadblock will cause a major disruption in trade and tourism.

A Clanton man is facing multiple charges in connection with the lockdown of Chilton County Schools Monday.
Michael J. Day, 30, was arrested Monday and charged with domestic violence, terrorist threat, possession of marijuana and unlawful possession of a controlled substance.
It started Monday morning at 7:42 a.m. when Clanton police received a report of a domestic situation at a gas station that involved a weapon. The suspect allegedly threatened to hurt himself and his girlfriend, but they left before police arrived.
A short time later, police in Calera responded to a domestic situation involving the same couple. The victim told police that Day told her to take off her seatbelt and tried to flip his vehicle on the interstate. The victim said she tried to put her seatbelt back on, but he pulled out a knife and tried to cut the seatbelt. Day also allegedly had a shotgun between his legs with the barrel pointed at his head.
Day eventually dropped his girlfriend off at work. She and her mother then contacted Clanton Elementary School because of some "very vague, yet disturbing text messages," according to police.
"With all that was going on, him being armed, and the text messages caused them to believe he was going to hurt himself and his children. One message allegedly stated he was going to get his kids and they were all going to see their mother. Their mother died last year," said Clanton Police Chief Brian Stilwell.
At 9:39 a.m. Day showed up at Clanton Elementary School to check out his kids.
"The school had already been forewarned, they immediately called us, secured the school, and Mr. Day never gained entry to the school. The school staff should be commended," Stilwell said.
All Chilton County schools were placed on lock down until Day was in custody.
"We wanted to make sure the schools were safe and with them all being on one campus, it was best to lock them all down. Officers were sent to each school," Stilwell said. "I can't stress enough what a great job the school staff did today. Because we were able to get to Mr. Day prior to him getting his kids we will never know his true intentions. But we do know because of the schools actions, they are safe."
Police say Day didn't have a weapon on school grounds, and they found the gun in his living room.
Day is being held in the Chilton County Jail with no bond. His children are currently with a relative.
Calera police have domestic violence charges pending for the incident that happened in their jurisdiction, according to Clanton police.

text: Orchard Park, NY (WGR 550) -- Since the third preseason game of the year, the Buffalo Bills haven't received much good news when it comes to their defensive secondary. On Thursday, however, their franchise safety got a little more work than he has through the first three weeks of the season. Ten practices in, safety Jairus Byrd hasn't done much in the allotted time for the media to view the session. When the defensive backs break off during positional drills, the Bills run different defenses for that grouping. While the starting players are out on the defensive side of the ball, the remaining defensive backs participate on the scout team, simulating potential offensive looks they may see from their upcoming opponents. Even through Wednesday's practice, all Byrd had participated in during that drill was on the scout team side. Although not a sign of an outright breakthrough with his condition, Byrd made slight, yet notable progress by being on the defensive side of the ball for a couple of repetitions during that very drill. He was not one of the base safeties, but rather the third safety in the defense they were simulating. He took a couple of reps jogging, but that ended once the linebackers came to join the drill. Once they did, Byrd rejoined the work on the scout team side. He is one of three normal starting players in the secondary that has missed time due to an injury, with his being a condition known as plantar fasciitis in both his feet. "It's a condition that we haven't been able to get over this one last hurdle," head coach Doug Marrone said of Byrd. "I think when we get over the one last hurdle; he'll be ready to go." "Like I've been saying since day one, I'm just going out there, getting treatment and seeing where I'm at each day," the safety said Wednesday. Top cornerback Stephon Gilmore suffered a fractured wrist in the team's third exhibition game and hasn't played or practiced once since the season began. The jury is still out on the other normal starting cornerback Leodis McKelvin. He left their most recent contest against the Jets in the first defensive series with a hamstring injury and did not return. McKelvin did not participate in practice on Wednesday and appeared to be limited on Thursday. Marrone has yet to render a verdict on McKelvin's availability Sunday against Baltimore. It's likely that Gilmore will miss his fourth straight contest, but if both Byrd and McKelvin cannot play, it will leave the secondary severely depleted. Without those three players, the defense will likely feature Justin Rogers at left cornerback, normal starting safety Aaron Williams at right cornerback, along with Da'Norris Searcy and Jim Leonhard as the base safeties. "I don't want to see them do bad, I've said that since day one," Byrd said. "But me going out there less than 100-percent isn't going to help the case either. So it's kind of like, I can't do anything about it. That's the tough part about it really, honestly." After being listed as 'doubtful' for the Bills' first two games, Marrone designated the franchised safety as 'questionable' against the Jets. The Bills resume practice on Friday in Orchard Park.

Matters of interest
Cryogenic cave carbonates – a new tool to estimate the minimum permafrost depth of the Last Glacial
Cryogenic cave carbonates can be identified in caves based on their characteristic mode of occurrence, typical shape, unique carbon and oxygen stable isotope compositions, and based on ages confirming their formation during the Glacial. Low-ventilation caves generally show temperature close to those of the surrounding rock. Cooling of such caves to freezing and/or subfreezing temperature is possible only due to evolution of permafrost (permafrost is the zone of soils and rocks having temperature 0 °C or lower for at least two subsequent years).
Ichnofossils associated with slightly skeletonized body fossils, Middle Cambrian of the Barrandian area, Czech Republic
Sediments of the Middle Cambrian of the Barrandian area yielded several distinct morphotypes of ichnofossils preserved in a tight association with non- or slightly-mineralized animal body fossils, most often arthropods. These traces, in lesser diversity, were described from the Cambrian of the Barrandian area already in 2000 by the present author. Later, since 2006, analogous trace fossils have been described from classical Cambrian lagerstätten, namely Chengjiang and Burgess.
Mineral inclusions in placer zircon from the Ohře (Eger) Graben: New data on "strontiopyrochlore"
After qualitative examination of the inclusion inventory of 80 zircon megacrysts from alluvial placers of the Cenozoic alkali basalt area of northern Bohemia and southeastern Saxony, three representative megacrysts from the Podsedice deposit were selected for an in-depth study of inclusion minerals. Primary and secondary inclusions were distinguished and used as monitor for zircon-related syn- and epigenetic processes.
Interpretation of the Teplice Caldera history based on the LA-ICP-MS study of quartz crystal zoning
The Altenberg–Teplice Caldera (eastern Krušné Hory/Erzebirge) is the largest Variscan volcano-plutonic complex in the Bohemian Massif. It is composed of co-magmatic volcanics (peraluminous basal rhyolite and associated dacite, overlying three units of subaluminous Teplice rhyolite and granite porphyry) and plutonic granites (two intrusions of A-type granites). In this study, the internal structures and trace-element distributions within quartz grains were investigated using a laser ablation ICP-MS combined with a hot-cathode and scanning cathodoluminescence analysis.

About Institute
Institute of Geology AS CR, v. v. i. is a medium-sized research center which main purpose is to gain, interpret and integrate the knowledge of the Earth System and its geologic and biologic past, without which it would not be possible to understand the recent environment. The Earth system understood as a result of interaction of endogenous and exogenous geological processes, development of biota and anthropogenic effects. Co-evolution of the Earth system means close connection and constant mutual influence of biotic and abiotic processes resulting in changes of atmosphere composition, climatic changes and weathering rates, relief development, sedimentary basin development and genesis of some types of natural resource bearings.
